Back in October of 2010 Steve Jobs made his thoughts on 7 inch tablets pretty clear during an Apple financial results call. Among the comments he made were these:
7 inch tablets are tweeners – too big to compete with smartphone, too small to compete with tablets
We don't think you can make a great tablet with a 7 inch screen
Now there's some evidence emerging (during the never-ending Apple v Samsung court battles) that Jobs' opinion on smaller tablets may have changed by early 2011. As MacRumors and CNET have recently reported, an email sent by Apple VP Eddy Cue to other senior execs at the company states as much:
Having used a Samsung Galaxy, I tend to agree with many of the comments below (except moving off the iPad). I believe there will be a 7″ market and we should do one. I expressed this to Steve several times since Thanksgiving and he seemed very receptive the last time. I found email, books, facebook and video very compelling on a 7″. Web browsing is definitely the weakest point, but still usable.
It seems a virtual lock that we will be seeing a smaller iPad released this fall / winter, though the general consensus is that it will be much closer to an 8 inch tablet (7.85 to be precise). And probably a big holiday season hit this year too.

Many cults, and theologians such as John Stott, believe that when we die, everything is finished – we just disappear into dust. Some believe hell is only for a relatively short period and then those in it will simply disappear. Unfortunately, even some Christians hold to this view of annihilation, thus not believing in hell.
What does scripture say? After all, if heaven is forever, does it not make sense that hell is also forever? Yet, even if it makes human sense, it may not necessarily be the view of God! So, as with all subjects, we must allow scripture to speak for itself and not impose our own theories upon them.
Mark 3:29
"But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation."
In this text the word 'never' is aion. In context it is interpreted as 'evermore' or eternal. Forgiveness is aphesis, meaning remission (of sins) or deliverance. Thus, the text says that for this sin there can be no deliverance from sins, but only enochos, or danger, or worthy of punishment, of "eternal damnation".
This damnation or krisis, is a separating from, or a judgement of condemnation against the person. How long does this condemnation last? We are told its duration is "eternal", aionios – everlasting, forever, without end, never to cease.
In anyone's language that sounds just like eternity to me. The notion that we will only be punished for a short while, before we disappear is absurd… a punishment is useless if we just disappear and know nothing more about it!
John 5:29
We know from many texts that heaven and bliss are eternal. Those who enter heaven will know peace and blessing forever. In this text we are told that those who have done good will know the "resurrection of life". That is, they will be raised again to enter heaven forever.
This is immediately followed by the fate of those who have done evil – the "resurrection of damnation." As there is no further qualifying statement, we can legitimately assume this damnation is also forever. There is no point in damnation if the one damned does not know it!
Mark 9:43-46
"… hell… into the fire that never shall be quenched: where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched… into the fire that never shall be quenched."
The fire of hell shall never be quenched and the worm never dies. Hell, or geena in this text, is the 'Gehenna of fire', the place of the future destruction of the wicked. This destruction is not as we know it, for it will be eternal, never to be stopped or lessened in its severity. The word 'quenched' is asbestos, and this contains within itself the meaning of eternal punishment, 'unquenchable'. The word is further qualified by 'never', ou, meaning not or cannot, an absolute negative. That is, it cannot be altered.
The worm "dieth not". The word 'dieth' is qualified by the word 'not', and so teleutao is never-ending, and does not maintain its actual meaning of 'to finish' or 'to end'. Rather, the qualifying word, 'not', means that the opposite is true – the worm shall never die, but its work will continue forever. Coupled with the concept of a fire that will never be quenched, we have a picture of eternal torment and punishment, not annihilation (which is an error held by unbelievers).
And note, the difference between heaven and hell will always be one of total separation, as the story of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:22) proves. The rich man was tormented in hell day and night, whereas Lazarus was comforted forever in heaven. The man in hell can never enter heaven or be given a 'second chance', for between them a "great gulf is fixed". Nor can the man in heaven ever lose his salvation and enter hell, for the same reason.
2 Peter 2:17
"These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mists of darkness is reserved for ever."
This text speaks of the wicked, those who reject God and His word. Though the language is poetic, it points us to a direct truth, that they are worthless (like a well without water), who will know the "mists of darkness… for ever."
The 'mist', zophos, refers to the darkness of the nether world, total blackness, as the following word, 'darkness', signifies: skotos, ungodliness and immorality leading to misery and perpetual blindness (to spiritual things and God). This miserable state will be experienced 'for ever', aion; evermore, for eternity.
Note the reference to predestination here, in the word 'reserved'. Though people hate the idea of predestination, and try to deny it, it arises time and again, throughout both Old and New Testaments. In this text, God has 'reserved' eternal misery for those who are not saved, as tereo means. It is an active act of God, to reserve or to keep a person in a state he has been allotted to. Thus, he cannot escape its inevitability, or escape its duration, which is for eternity, as the rich man discovered.
This is a very short introduction to the subject, but it proves beyond doubt that soul annihilation is a lie and an heresy, taught by those who wish to reject God's word, in part or in total. As with any heresy, Christians must resist it and teach the truth. Those who enter hell will be there for all of eternity, without remission. Their torment will never die or become less. This is God's word.

Women are taking over the universities, according to the newspapers. But just because the majority of students are women, does this necessarily mean that women will eventually dominate the academic disciplines?
In just a few short years, they saw the number of women in permanent academic positions go from zero to four. Three of them are now professors. "We needed to strengthen our department and realized that the measures established by the central administration held great potential," explains Jan-Eirik Angell Killie of the Norwegian College of Fishery Science.
"The Kif committee does a crucial job. It will be exciting to serve on it," says Elisabet Ljunggren, Senior Researcher at the Nordland Research Institute. Ljunggren is one of the members of the new Committee for Gender Balance in Research (the Kif committee).

Online Directories
Lot of small businesses these days are using online directories to their profit. If you run a small business then odds are you spend a great deal of your time thinking about your marketing plan. Online directories can help your small business expand its website traffic, increase the likelihood that your website will be found by interested viewers and increase your bottom line. If you haven't taken a look at directories and considered how your small business could use them to increase its market presence- then now is the time to start!
What Are Online Directories?
There are many different types of online directories available on the Internet. Each of those online directories serves a particular purpose and may be utilized by your small business in specific ways. These directories can be accessed from just about anywhere that has an internet connection. This means that people could find your business's website from their home, office or even while traveling.
How Do Online Directories Work?
The idea of directories is actually a pretty simple one. (Actually Yellow Pages.com is an online Business directory) A directory is just a listing place for a number of businesses. Any type of business you can think of could be listed in an online directory.
How Do Online Directories Benefit Small Businesses?
Exposure is important for all business marketing strategies. After all, the more people who are exposed to your business the more people are likely to utilize your business's services. If online viewers aren't able to see your business or even know that it exists, then they probably aren't going to purchase your products or services. Listing your business in directories helps your website to gain exposure. Thousands of people use online directories everyday to search out things they're interested in.
Cheap Advertising
As a small business owner you already understand the importance of advertising. You know that it helps customers to find your business and recognize your name and brand. You probably have little room in your budget for more advertising right this moment. Some online directories can permit you to list your business without charge, whereas others can charge a lowest fee. Either way, you are getting a lot of exposure for less money than you would spend on a TV or radio advertisement.
Professional Appearance
You want everything about your business to appear skilled within the eyes of your customers. A professional appearance enhances your status and makes customers more likely to patronize your business. When an online consumer sees your business listing in an online directory they will consider your business to be an authority on the subject and a professional place to do business. Unlike a search that is performed on a major search engine like Google, where there is little difference between the legitimate websites relating to a topic and the less than useful websites, directories are mostly legitimate websites.

LBM holding on for dear life!
Okay we didn't feel it quite that much but we definitely felt the earth quake that hit Virginia today. Odd timing for such a big quake to happen nearly centered under where; after 8 years of stalling, our family may finally all reside together. The lack of natural disasters is a big selling point of the wonderful area I call home.
It just reminded me that we never quite know what the day will hold for us. I often get caught up in my daily routine and miss out on the moments that life provides me. But lately with so many big decisions being made, I have been noticing just how every day is really special.
Yesterday when I got home after work I was eager to jump on the treadmill while the kids played. I have a couple days of double digit runs to put in and I really just wanted them done. Since the little kids are so accustomed to my running they quickly went about their way playing. But yesterday they decided to go through the boxes of "old" toys that are stored in my workout room. They played as if I wasn't even there. I turned down my headphones and eavesdropped on their imaginary conversations with each other via their dolls.
yes, LBM was playing with a barbie doll too
Their conversations flowed as if scripted, filled with kindness and fun. Each one seeming to want to encourage the other to continue to play and keep their imaginary world going.
I thought about how that was exactly what I had been doing for the past 8 years; keeping my imaginary world going. An imaginary world where everything is safe and predictable as long as nothing changes.
A world where I don't NEED anyone else. But just like today's unexpected earth quake, sometimes a little shake up is exactly what we need to achieve the proper perspective.

"Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in Him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done."
John 11:45-46
One of the themes which run throughout the Gospel of John is the way the actions of the Lord Jesus Christ bring about a division among the people of Israel. They are given a clear revelation of Jesus' nature and identity in the way in which He engages in works which reflect the will of the Father as it is revealed in the Scriptures. They are then brought to a dividing point where they must decide between faith and unbelief. John's purpose in this Gospel is to confront our unbelief and to bring us to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact John tells us this at the end of the second last chapter of his Gospel when he writes the following.
"But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His Name." (John 20:31)
When we look carefully at the unbelief which is described here in John's Gospel one thing becomes very clear to us. This is that the unbelief of the Jews described here is not really an absence of faith. It is a belief in the wrong things. The Jews did not believe in Jesus because they believed in other things. In the same way we fail to believe in Jesus because our faith, and worship, is centred on other things. G. K. Beale in We Become What We Worship (Intervarsity Press, Downers Grove, Ill., 2008, p. 17) writes about this as he seeks to define idolatry.
"Before launching into our study, I need to define idolatry. Martin Luther's larger catechism discussion of the first commandment ("You shall have no other gods before Me" [Ex. 20:3]) included "whatever your heart clings to and relies upon, that is your God; trust and faith of the heart alone make both God and idol." I might add here, "Whatever your heart clings to or relies on for ultimate security." "The idol is whatever claims the loyalty which belongs to God alone." These are good and basic definitions of idolatry. The word idolatry can refer to the worship of other gods besides the true God, or the reverence of images. According to both the ancient Near East and the Old Testament, an idol or image contained a god's presence, though that presence was not limited to the image. The ultimate biblical assessment about the purported divine reality behind idols is well summarized by Christopher Wright:
"Although gods and idols are something in the world, they are nothing in comparison with the Living God…
While gods and idols may be implements of or gateways to the world of the demonic, the overwhelming verdict of the Scripture is that they are the work of human hands, constructs of our own fallen and rebellious imaginations…
The primal problem with idolatry is that it blurs the distinction between the Creator God and His creation. This both damages creation (including ourselves) and diminishes the glory of the Creator.
Since God's mission is to restore creation to its full original purpose of bringing all glory to God Himself and thereby to enable all creation to enjoy the fullness of blessings that He desires for it, God battles against all forms of idolatry and calls us to join Him in that conflict…
We need to understand the whole breadth of the Bible's exposure of the deleterious effects of idolatry in order to appreciate its seriousness and the reason for the Bible's passionate rhetoric about it." (C. J. H. Wright, The Mission of God, Downers Grove, Ill., Intervarsity Press, 2006, pp. 187-188)
Beale goes on in his book to make the point that whatever we worship will form us into its image. This is why it is of such vital importance that we see clearly who the Lord Jesus Christ is, the Son of the Living God who has come into this world to set us free from the idols which we worship and to bring us to truly worship the God who has created us and who wishes to restore His image in us so that we might bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
John calls us to a point of decision regarding the Lord Jesus Christ. What do you believe about Him?

Toward the end of Chapter 5 in the Revelations we find Julian's prayer "God of your goodness, give me yourself" — a very familiar prayer, but one full of depth.
Then follows Chapter 6, "the goodness chapter". There are nineteen repetitions of the word "goodness" in it, but Julian writes so skillfully that one doesn't feel banged over the head with the word. The word is "lovely to the soul, for God's goodness fills all His creatures and all His blessed works, and surpasses them without end." He made us and restored us — and keeps us by means of this goodness.
So we should pray to God directly and cleave to Him directly as well. Our belief and steadfastness in this project of praying delights Him as well as honors Him. Through all our Lord's human nature (from the Incarnation through the Passion), He gives us endless life from His goodness. And God's goodness comes down even to our lowest need, because we, both soul and body, are "clad in the goodness of God"; so that "our soul should cleave to Him with all its might and that we evermore cleave to His goodness, for of all things that heart can think, this pleases God most and soonest succeeds." After all, "our natural wish is to have God and the good wish of God is to have us."
Why then, with all this goodness on ready tap, do we make such problems for ourselves in living and praying?

A cancer patient and five physicians filed a lawsuit exemption, from a state ban on assisted suicide, for physicians who help terminally ill patients end their lives. A 53-year-old Christie White, a leukemia-stricken San Francisco woman, is the lead patient in a lawsuit.
Ms. White seeks the law allowing terminally ill patients to die at their own choosing. Earlier this week, she told that she wants to be able to gather her loved ones and meet her death with peace of mind, when and if the time comes.
Lawyers for White and three other patients, in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in San Francisco Superior Court, noted that mental health professional draw a significant distinction between aid-in-dying and suicide – citing a 1997 statement by the American Psychological Association.
California law already protects many end-of-life decisions, including a 1976 law permitting mentally competent patients to draw up a living will clarifying the care they don't want if they become incompetent or unconscious. This law also allows such patients to discontinue ventilators or other life-sustaining treatment at their choosing. Another law permits a patient to request terminal sedation to relive insufferable pain.
The plaintiffs' lawyers argued that if the current law prohibits a physician from prescribing life-ending medication to a competent, terminally ill patient, then it possibly violates the California Constitution's strong protections for autonomy and privacy.
A group of religious, medical and disability-rights advocates, Californians against Assisted Suicide, has already registered their opposition to a new legislation that aims at permitting physician assistance in dying. The opponents believe that criminal penalties are required to protect depressed patients from being exploited by cost-cutting health insurers or greedy relatives.
Four similar bills have been defeated in 1992 as the California voters rejected an aid-in-dying initiative.
On a positive note, for terminally-ill patients, five states in the U.S. currently allow doctors to prescribe medication to terminally ill, mentally competent patients.

Live entertainment is to Las Vegas what technology is to the Silicon Valley or what the automotive industry is to Detroit. Because of that importance, current proposed legislation modifying the live entertainment tax via Assembly Bills 392 and 393 and Senate Bill 266 are among the most highly anticipated pieces of legislation in the 2015 Nevada state legislature session.
"As an owner/operator of a nightclub, LET is one of my least favorite aspects of business to deal with," says Steve Kennedy, owner of 33 Group that operates Chateau nightclub at Paris and FIZZ champagne bar at Caesars Palace. "The auditing process is such a headache and it is an overwhelming tax to have to pass on to the consumer. LET detours us from booking at least 40 percent of the artists who come to us to book events."
LET is applied to admission prices, food, beverage or merchandise at shows, entertainment and nightclub events at either 5 percent or 10 percent. Most Las Vegas venues incur a 10 percent LET because occupancy is more than 200 and less than 7,500 people. For gaming establishments, LET is administered by the Nevada State Gaming Control Board while the Department of Taxation manages LET for non-gaming establishments.
However, the largest live entertainment events — like NASCAR, the epic boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio on May 2 and outdoor music festivals like May's inaugural Rock in Rio USA and June's Electric Daisy Carnival — have been able to avoid the tax since it went into effect on Jan. 1, 2004.
"The city needs the income from these major international events, and if the government is not making that revenue from these events, I do not see how it is benefiting the greater good for the citizens of Nevada," says Courtney Bryan, director of ticketing and group sales for Steck Productions International Entertainment, which operates shows subject to LET at Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts and Sands properties across the strip. "Live entertainment is the lifeblood of the city and I feel it is time the loopholes are closed so everyone can benefit from the additional revenue that it would bring to our state."
Each of the three proposed bills aims to close some if not all of these current loopholes. Proposed Assembly Bill 392 would set up a Luxury Discretionary Spending Tax on admission to places of amusement and entertainment at both indoor and outdoor non-gaming establishments, as well as for escort services and sightseeing tours. The 8 percent tax would be for admission, food, beverages and refreshments for facilities with an occupancy less than 7,500. For venues of more than 7,500, there would be an 8 percent tax on admission only. Apparel and merchandise would be exempt from taxation and there would be several exceptions including: government entities, charities, movies, NASCAR and playing sports. DJs at nightclubs, lounges, pools and other venues would still be included as taxable entertainment.
Assembly Bill 393 would implement LET at gaming venues, but an event would only be taxable when an admission charge is imposed, triggering an 8 percent LET. Assembly Bill 393 would also eliminate many of the tedious elements of the current LET law that taxed for onsite pianists, restaurant musicians and other forms of background entertainment that typically is not the reason customers visit the venue.
The third piece of legislation, Senate Bill 266, proposes a live entertainment tax to be implemented only when there are admission charges, at the current rate of 10 percent on admission, food, refreshments and merchandise for occupancy between 200 and 7,500. For venues with occupancy over 7,500, the LET would be 5 percent. Senate Bill 266 would maintain the exceptions for boxing events, NASCAR, minor league baseball, trade shows and outdoor concerts at non-gaming establishments. However, other exemptions would be removed, including pianists and musicians at restaurants, roving entertainers, common area entertainment at malls and food and product demonstrators.
"I believe that the large events like Electric Daisy Carnival and NASCAR are still going to choose our city even if they have an LET because that tax is being passed along to the consumer, and the consumer loves coming to Las Vegas," says Bryan.
If proposed legislation passes in the form of Assembly Bill 392 or Assembly Bill 393, LET would be reduced from 10 percent to 8 percent for many of the major production shows on the Strip. Since the overwhelming majority of shows at hotels pay rent to the hotel itself, the extra 2 percent would be able to be used as operating income by the entertainer or the entertainment company. With the majority of production shows having some sort of weekday locals discount, the 2 percent decrease on a weekday show ticket that is often discounted as much as 50 percent would put money back into the consumer's pocket.
"The consumer is paying upwards of 44 percent in tax and gratuity for bottle service," says Kennedy. "There are no clear guidelines of when and where LET is applied, so at this point I assume it has been implemented to take advantage of nightclubs and it has generated millions of dollars of additional revenue from us."
Industry veterans like Bryan are hoping their experience and insight will be taken into consideration with all three proposed legislative bills.
"My biggest message to the legislature is to bring together a forum of show producers and hotel representatives and let us tell them how it can benefit or hurt our industry and our city," she says. "Some people may believe it is going to drive away NASCAR and these large outdoor music festivals, but I do not believe it will."
What Bryan and of her industry colleagues believe is that the next two to three months of posturing around the three bills may dramatically change the entertainment and financial infrastructure of Las Vegas forever.
"There has to be honest, nonbiased dialogue on what LET is and how LET effects businesses and the consumer," Bryan says. "LET is the backbone of the city and the state, this is how we pay for our streets and our school system, so everyone should pitch in for the greater good."

I recently got to test a very cute little skirt from the Shaffer Sisters!
The Betty Skirt.
(Soon to be re-released--will update with link when released!)
There are so many options and sizes in this skirt:
doll, newborn and all the way up to 16, including plus sizes!
Options include a gathered skirt with placket, small pleats, and big pleats!
I chose to make the large pleats in a 3 month size, using fabric from the Fat Quarter Shop.
My plan is to donate this to the Pregnancy Care Center during our next Pregnancy Care Center Sew-along!
The pattern went together very well--you can print which ever size you'd like with the handy layers feature.
I had to let my little girl 'model' it for us...
I'm joining in on Skirting the Issue over at Simple Simon and Company!

Christmas is fast approaching and we all know that we are running out of ideas for people on our lists. My husband is particularly difficult to shop for. How do you shop for someone who has everything they need and/or want? He loves toys and he loves drones, he is always eyeing them at the store. So I decided he is getting The Real Pocket Drone from Odyssey Toys. My husband is fairly easy to please, I guess when you get deployed to a war zone you tend to need a lot less then before you go. I have a hard time, because he insists he wants nothing, and of course I tell him the same thing. I guess I am just as guilty of giving zero ideas.

NAB 2018: IBM Watson on Refining AI for Closed Captioning
April 13, 2018
Closed captioning isn't just for the hard-of-hearing anymore. According to Digiday, 85 percent of Facebook video is viewed without sound. That signals a trend of viewers who prefer to watch closed captioning, putting the heat on solutions providers to come up with compliant systems that are also accurate and speedy. With artificial intelligence, says IBM Watson Media senior offering manager David Kulczar, closed captioning can be enhanced to go beyond transcription, and automatically identify background audio descriptions.
Kulczar defined the terms used in closed captioning. "It all starts with automated speech recognition (ASR), which creates a text output from an audio track," he said. "This is not to be confused with speech-to-text, which extends ASR but is only focused on the spoken word."
Transcription is the manual process of creating text output from audio. "And closed captioning is a service that allows audiences to interpret content accurately without audio to assist with full understanding of the presented content," he said.
In addition to ASR, closed captioning systems need to be able to recognize and identify common sounds and noises, know when speakers shift languages, and identify and represent speaker transitions (called diarization). For the blind, audio description represents visual characteristics of the content. Closed captioning systems also need edit tools to accurately time-stamp caption data, present captions in an intelligent, coherent layout and provide an editing interface to allow for manual changes.
Today's systems for closed captioning all offer pros and cons. Manual or human captioning is the most accurate for VOD files, but is the most expensive. Crowdsourced captioning is more cost effective and knowledge of most areas is likely, but it doesn't support live content, is non-predictable and has the potential for malicious intent.
Machine-generated captioning is the most cost effective model and it's consistent and trainable, but needs further development and includes the up-front costs of training. Hybrid systems offer a "safety net" to cover some of the other systems' flaws, but don't get rid of all of them.
When using AI for captioning, said Kulczar, "training makes all the difference." He broke down such training into three categories: vocabulary, contextual and acoustic.
"We build a corpus of knowledge," he explained. "In nightly news, for example, the topic changes from weather to politics in an instant, and I have to make sure my models are applied rapidly and consistently and do it in an automated way."
With these three kinds of training, said Kulczar, IBM Watson has shown five to 10 percent gains in accuracy. "The models give you two scores: relevance and confidence," he said. "You run through a certain amount of corpus information and it goes to a team that refines it until you get an accuracy model that works. With Live, it took us two weeks to get 95 percent accuracy for the U.S. Open, for example."
"Manual transcription also has a training requirement," he concluded. "But we can build these models really, really quickly."

Here comes the goom
The origins of the odd language we use for weddings
What could be more traditional than the words we use for pairing off? Not everyone, of course, goes as far as William and Kate, the new-wedded duke and duchess of Cambridge, with their "wilt thou" and "who giveth," but everyone's wedding vocabulary includes helpmate and bridegroom and witticisms on wedlock.
A plain-looking word, however, may have a convoluted past. Over centuries of use, some familiar wedding words have disguised their earlier selves, often morphing into shapes that look more logical to their users.
Take wedlock, which looks obvious enough — it's the state of being joined in marriage. But that "lock" in wedlock is a red herring; the Old English word was wedlac, formed from wed, meaning "pledge, security," and lac, a suffix indicating "actions or proceedings." Wedlac, "marriage," was literally the act of making the vows.
The old sense of the noun wed, "something pledged or pawned," survived into the 19th century, at least (with the spelling wad) in Sir Walter Scott's vocabulary: "I determined he should remain a wad, or hostage, for my safe back-coming." But the suffix lac lacked staying power. By the 14th century, says the Oxford English Dictionary, it was all but extinct, and folk etymology soon turned the mysterious wedlac into plain wedlock. The ball-and-chain jokes were not far behind: Samuel Butler, in 1664, observed that "Wedlock without Love, some say, Is but a Lock without a Key," and he probably wasn't the first to make such a jest.
Then there's bridegroom, which began its career as Old English brydguma, or "bride's man." After a few centuries, brydguma and brydgome and its variations retired from the scene; when the word was resuscitated, in the 1500s, the noun gome (meaning "man") had gone extinct. So brydgome became bridegroom — a much more transparent word, since "groom" could mean "lad" at the time.
This development was fine with most people — Samuel Johnson put bridegroom into his 1755 dictionary without complaint — but Noah Webster, hard at work reforming American English, was nettled by the inaccuracy. He preferred bridegoom, says Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage, and "he went so far as to enter and define bridegoom in his Dictionary of 1828." Webster won some of his word battles, but his bridegoom campaign, luckily, was a bust. (Groom for bridegroom has been called inelegant, but it's surely an improvement on goom.)
Helpmate is another word that once drove purists mad. "Absurd," wrote Richard Grant White in his 1870 usage guide. "The fact that we are told in Genesis, 'I will make him an help meet for him,' and the fact that some imbecile or thoughtless person compounded the words into a synonym of wife, account for the subsequent perversion of this expression." He has the story right: The "help meet" of the King James Bible meant "a helper suited to him," who turned out to be Eve. But "imbeciles" like John Dryden hyphenated "help-meet," creating a noun that didn't make any apparent sense, and soon the more plausible helpmate was born. Helpmeet, for all its faults, has an archaic appeal that has helped it survive; it's less popular than helpmate, but both versions are standard today.
Congratulations for the stealthiest evolution go to bridal, which appears so innocently adjectival in our many references to bridal showers and bridal gowns. In fact, bridal began as the Old English noun bryd-ealo, "bride-ale" — the wedding feast, named for its abundance of liquid refreshment. And the bridal toast, it turns out, began with actual toast — a bit of browned, spiced bread dipped into wine to give it flavor. The gents of 18th-century England transferred the word, figuratively, to the ladies whose health they drank — the ladies "being supposed to flavour a bumper like a spiced toast in the drink," says the OED — and thence to the salute itself.
Finally, there's the phrase in the Anglican wedding service that modern celebrants often find unparseable: "till death us do part." (A widespread variation — "till death us do part" — is equally problematic.) In this case, the mystery is more grammatical than etymological. The pledge means "till death parts us" so why is it "us do part" instead of "us does part" or, more archaically, "us doth part"? (Note to till-haters: Till is not only correct, but also older than until.)
The answer — provided by James E. Clapp, author of a law dictionary, and available online thanks to Random House — starts with that "do part." When the Book of Common Prayer was first published in 1549, the text was "till death us depart" — not "departs" or "departeth." "In those days," writes Clapp, "it was customary to use the subjunctive mood in subordinate clauses describing action to take place in the indefinite future" — as in Job's "though he slay me" or Shakespeare's "if this be error and upon me proved."
Depart, however, had lost the sense of "separate" when the prayer book was revised in 1662. The editors could have made it simply "till death us part," which is properly subjunctive, but they chose to add the word do — preserving the familiar rhythm of the original, and ensuring the puzzlement of wedding guests for centuries to come.

The thing about loss and grief is that it draws a line: not just between the dead and those left living but also between the living and those around them. Lately, I've been thinking about my Dad's death not just as the death of my father but as the death of my father: something that now belongs to my family and in part, on a more personal level, to me. Inevitably, I think, death brings up (or should bring up) in us ideas of how we would like to live before we are brought to that inevitable line, when we cross it a next time, first-hand.
I can't help but think of different friendships that I've made throughout the years–whether people who I'd known for years or people I'd met in the past year or people I'd only solely interacted with through my stories–and how, when my Dad died, it was such a relief to see familiar faces or to hear people reach out even if they couldn't be there physically. Maybe as a lover of and active participant (haha) in the making of fiction, I must say that empathy is something that I value. I don't think I'd loved any of these people as much before as I did in that moment: to know that despite the discomfort of knowing they would never be me, never truly share my pain, they'd decided to subject themselves to being there anyway in whatever way, shape, or form that they could be.
Somehow, it felt like home. I am still resolute in the conclusion that reading prepares us for terrible situations: it highlights the things we may take from these terrible experiences, it helps us in the struggle to construct not just meaning, but meaningfulness.
[Side note: this talk by Andrew Solomon has helped. ]
However, likewise, I can't help but think about people who could have been there but chose not to be. Everyday is a struggle not to lash out, not to be bitter, not to say where were you? I think of different friendships lost or destroyed in the process of growing up, think of people who I wish well, and who, despite the strain between us, had someone they loved died, I would have reached out to. I can't help but feel stung by that active absence: maybe in another time, I would have been able to simply assume they had not known about it, that they had not heard because they hadn't read the obituaries, but in this time of social media tributes and text blasts and 24/7 chatting, of profile-photo changing and Facebook-status eulogies, I know they know and know they had chosen to not just be apathetic but vicious (I don't want to get into that). I wonder about that and am trying very hard to look underneath my anger and find a way to learn from it. I keep on trying to find a way to forgive people who aren't sorry, or else forget the pain of it. Life is short, but everyone knows that.
Loss draws a line between those of us left living: conditionals, if-thens, and their converses. If _________ , and _________ does not _________, then __________. And today, as I write this, I find myself at once hopeful and terrified. It terrifies me that I am capable of true hatred: that I can't find myself to empathize with some people who I once treated as some of my closest friends because the line has been drawn and these are not people I will forgive. These people are no longer the inhabitants of benign, empty shells of friendship: they are malignant and I can't let them touch me because it will eat me up. But on the other hand, I am hopeful because it gives the loss of my Dad gravity: this is how much I love my father that I cannot forgive people who knew him not giving it importance. I am hopeful because underneath everything, even the absence of forgiveness, there is a kind of love.

Week Ending June 17thWe finished side dressing nitrogen on the corn. We spent some time filling in small holes in the soybean fields with a 2 row planter this week. This planter is a little less advanced than our high speed 24 row planters but it worked well for what we needed it to do. It is about time to put the planters in the shed for the year.
Week Ending June 10thWe started side dressing corn in Farmer City this week. The early corn is past knee high. We are using a prescription to variable rate our nitrogen application again this year.
Also sprayed corn and soybans this week. The early corn that is about waste high is starting to show some stress from lack of moisture.
Week Ending June 3rdWe finished planting soybeans on May 31. The last soybeans went in well. I am glad we gave the ground a few more days to dry out. Below are some pictures of the last couple of fields going in.
Week Ending May 27thCrops in Farmer City that we got in early are looking good. See pictures below. Corn looks very good despite all the rain they have had to date. Row by row planter control makes for pretty rows when the distance calibrations are correct.
We were able to get back into the fields for about one afternoon this week to get some beans planted.
We also spent some time in the shop this week making a brush guard for the front window on the excavator. Could be a life saver.
Week Ending May 20thWe were able to get back into the field on Monday of this week. We ran for 4 days before getting rained out early Friday morning.
We finished planting the first round for corn and made good progress on soybeans. The beans are now about 80% planted. All of the corn and beans planted before the cool/wet spell are now up. We will have some replant areas due to ponding but they are not as bad has we had thought they might be.
All of the preplant spraying is now done. We switched out the wide tires to narrow this week to start on post spraying.
The excessive rains over the past couple of weeks blew out several field tiles. We are working on getting those repaired.
Below are some pictures from the week.
Week Ending May 13thWe continue to wait out the cold wet weather so we can get back into the fields. We have now been out for 3 weeks. The corn and beans planted before all the rain have yet to emerge but the seeds are still alive when we dig them up. Small sprouts are about to emerge on the corn. Below are some pictures of the dug seeds.
The weather forecast looks better for next week.
We continue to work on machinery and make sure it is ready to run again once the sun returns.
Week Ending May 6Field conditions stayed wet and cold this week. We had another 0.5 to 1.1 inches of rain on the fields. We are somewhat concerned about the corn and beans we planted just ahead of this weather. The corn we planted last week has germinated but it has barely started putting a root down in these cold conditions.
We were able to get some repairs and maintenance done on the machines, haul corn to the river terminals, and do some excavator work. I am hopeful the field will dry out enough to get back in the fields next week.
Week Ending April 30thWe had a good start to the week in the fields around home. Field conditions were dry and we started spraying, field cultivating and planting both corn and soybeans on Monday. By Thursday we had over 1/2 of our corn in and about 1/3 of the beans planted around the Yorkville area. While the weather conditions were good while we were planting, we were concerned about the wet and cold weather in the forecast.
We were rained out on Thursday evening. The first round of showers only brought about 1/2 inch of rain. However, by the end of the weekend we had gotten 3.5 to 5.5 inches of rain in most fields. Many areas in the fields ponded with standing water. We will have many places to replant once the water goes down.
Week Ending April 22We had a good week of work in Farmer City. We finished all of our commercial corn and soybean planting in the Farmer City area on Friday. We started moving machinery north to Yorkville late in the week and started spraying around home on Friday as well.
One of the new tools we are using this year is DisplayCast from Ag Leader. This service allows us to share coverage maps between machines in the field in real time. This is a big deal for us since we often run two planters in one field at the same time. The shared coverage maps allows us to know precisely where the other machine has planted. The automatic row shut-off system can read the coverage map from the other planter and control the planter based on the combined coverage map of both planters. In order for the system to work, the planters need a live wi-fi connection.
Besides sharing coverage maps between planters, we can also share guidance lines. A new or changed line is instantly available to all machines and we can tell which lines to other machines are currently running.
The data is also being shared this way from the sprayer to the planters. We can tell which areas of the field were sprayed with which chemical. This is useful when we have corn and soybean splits in a field.
The Agfinity system through AgLeader allows us to track all of the machines in real time and view the data they have collected through an iPad app or with through a website.
Below are some pictures from the week including shots of two planters working in the same field with the shared coverage maps.
Week Ending April 16thWe were able to get started planting corn and soybeans in Farmer City this week. Field conditions improved in that area this week as the rains started to hold off and temperatures rose into the 70's. We started spraying and field cultivating on Wednesday. Corn and soybean planting started on Thursday April 13th.
Both the corn and soybeans are getting a pre plant herbicide. The corn herbicide is Harness Extra and the soybean herbicide is Fierce. The corn herbicide is being applied with 32% liquid nitrogen, giving the crop its first of three shoots of nitrogen fertilizer for the year. We are again running a Hagie STS16 sprayer that has a 120ft boom and a 1600 gallon solution tank.
After the spraying pass, all of the ground gets worked with a field cultivator. The field cultivators are 60 feet wide and are pulled at about 10 mph with Challenger 875 and 865.The tillage tractors run on RTK GPS steering on our controlled traffic system. All of the machines run on preset guidance lines so that the wheel traffic is all in the same paths and the tracks are not where the crop rows will be.
We are planting with 2 Horsch 24 row/30 inch planters which are 60 feet wide. One planter typically stays in corn while the other stays in soybeans. The corn planter is putting down liquid starter fertilizer for the corn. Seeding rates for both crops are controlled by variable rate prescriptions that have been written based on soil types and historical yield levels. Corn seeding rates vary from 30,000 to 38,000 seeds per acre while soybean rates vary from 130,000 to 160,000.
We are using some new technology in the planters and sprayer this year. We are using AgLeader's Display Cast and AgFiniti service which allows data to be shared between the machines in real time. This allows us to share coverage maps, seeding prescriptions, and guidance lines. This has been useful so far when we have had multiple crops in one field with the need to keep track of where corn vs. soybean herbicide was applied and making sure the correct crop is planted in the correct area of the field.
We were able to get in over 1500 acres of corn and soybeans in late this week before rains moved in Saturday night.
Below are some pictures from this week's work.

Seminar Room 4122.
Directions: home.cscamm.umd.edu/directions
The shallow water (SW) equations play a critical role in modeling and simulation of coastal flows, capturing fundamental phenomena across different length and time scales. As an example we mention storm surges (due to hurricanes, typhoons) that inundate coastal regions, resulting in large scale destruction and loss of life. For geographical scales of interest it is generally necessary to model these flows using two-dimensional models such as the shallow water equations, rather than full three-dimensional fluid dynamics. Of particular interest are recent developments of modern algorithms which are specifically tailored for the one- and multi-layer shallow-equations. We intend to examine the ongoing research on shallow water equations; to identify promising avenues of further study; and to formulate a number of problems that are at once tractable and have potential to provide further insight into the nature of coastal flows.

Sometimes I think there's a place you've just got to know about and my Public Service Announcements (PSAs) will give you the full skinny.
With a few minutes to spare after lunch in DC, Albert and I stopped into Idle Time Books, the store in Adams Morgan selling old, rare, and out of print books. Ok let's be honest: I saw the bookstore and told Albert to hold off before calling the Uber so I could have a few minutes to poke around.
Idle Time has a little of everything. Most are old (think 80s) and there's a lot of random (magazines, cookbooks, etc.), but that's what makes it fun to go through. I found a random book about birds in French that I allllmost purchased for $40…but decided to go with a copy of The Great Santini (by my favorite author, Pat Conroy) for only $3.50. Since I didn't have cash, my beau bought it for me…ain't he sweet?
Idle Time Books is nothing fancy. You certainly won't find the latest and greatest, but if you're looking to kill some time by discovering something new, you're bound to find a book you'll enjoy. Plus, it's super charming.

Binance supprime les comptes associés à l'échangeur Suex russe
The head of the largest crypto exchange Binance stated that accounts associated with the scandalous Russian crypto exchange Suex have been removed from the platform.
Changpeng Zhao supported the OFAC sanctions upon Suex, saying that Binance also tracked several accounts whose wallets were associated with the exchange and removed them from its platform for internal security reasons.
The crypto exchange has passed the information obtained during the internal investigation to the relevant authorities and is ready to continue cooperation with them in order to establish the identities of the attackers who abuse the Binance functionality. At the same time, representatives of the exchange didn't specify exactly which addresses of wallets out of 25 previously included in the OFAC blacklist were discussed. Some of them have been idle for several years, while others carried out transactions in August this year.
Analysts at Chainalysis claim that all but two of the addresses featured in the activities of the Suex crypto exchange were used to trade digital currencies on the most massive exchanges. In addition to Binance, the exchange wallets of Huobi accounts also appeared in the transactions leading to the exchanger. However, the staff of the latter has not yet commented on this matter.
Most likely, Suex's activities were not limited to only 25 cryptocurrency wallets. Therefore, it is not yet known whether law enforcement powers, in collaboration with OFAC, will be able to detect other crypto-addresses used in the exchange of illegal funds using Suex.
On September 22, a channel appeared on Telegram, the author of which published several entries about the activities of Suex and the connection of employees and shareholders of the service with the Exmo crypto exchange. Soon, access to the channel was closed, but 13 transactions in the amount of 654.1 BTC, the data about which the author posted, arrived at one of the exchanger's crypto addresses from the Wex exchange. Most of them are dated February 2021.
Meanwhile, Suex co-owner Yegor Petukhovsky denies any involvement of the business in illegal activities and is ready to defend his position in an American court. He decided to focus on the litigation, having previously resigned from the shareholders and employees of the crypto exchange bot Chatex. The businessman announced this on Facebook, from where photos with him were previously taken in the Wex office located in Moscow. Their entrepreneur has not yet commented.

There is so much craziness happening right now on The Real Housewives of Atlanta that it's almost tough to keep track of who is fighting and all of the reasons why! The show is back tonight with an episode called, "Mess Rehearsal" and on tonight's episode with one week left until opening night of Kandi's musical, Porsha heads to the studio to record her own single.
On last week's episode Peter, Gregg, and NeNe's explosive confrontation in Mexico continued to escalate, leaving the entire group in shock and dismay. Kenya met with Marlo to dish the dirt post-Mexico. Kandi began to wonder if casting Porsha in the musical was the best decision after all. Did you watch last week's episode? We did and we have a full and detailed recap right here.
On tonight's episode with one week left until opening night of Kandi's musical, "A Mother's Love," Porsha heads to the studio to record her own single. Momma Joyce also stops by rehearsals and ends up having an open conversation with Todd on the future of their relationship. A shocking loss hits Kenya causing her to put aside all of the drama and realize what's important in life.
Tonight is going to be another great episode of RHOA for sure and you're not going to want to miss a minute. Tune in at 8Pm EST on Bravo and we'll be recapping it live right here for you but in the meantime, hit up the comments and let us know your thoughts on all of the drama that has unfolded so far this season!
Tonight's episode begins now – Refresh Page for Updates
Porsha is close to getting kicked out of Kandi's play and she has no one to blame other than herself. That's what happens when people who are still learning a work ethic confuse that with their pampered lifestyle. And Porsha is definitely spoiled!
She's been skipping rehearsals and showing up late. Then when Kandi tried to correct her; Porsha kept coming up with excuses. Like trying to lay blame on Kandi's people for her missing practice. Half of Kandi's production already wants Porsha gone. So very soon Kandi isn't going to find her behavior cute anymore!
Another thing that isn't cute and needs to be taken down a peg is Nene. She wants to get into more serious acting like with dramas and she's also looking forward to starting her own fashion line. Those are all noble goals, but why does Nene turn her nose up when her agent mentions "Scandal".
She claims to have never heard of the show. As if an actress such as herself doesn't need to hear about other shows when the reality is that as a Black actress she should know about "Scandal". Especially as the lead actress and head writer are both prominent Black women.
It's called keeping up with the times!
And it also happens to be a sore subject for Cynthia seeing as she's only just learning that her Modeling Agency could be at risk of getting thrown out of its space because of yet another stupid risk her husband has chosen to take.
He's never willing chose to include her with his business dealings. He only told her what was going on after the fact. Take his club. The bills haven't been getting paid and now the club looks like it will be shut down due to foreclosure. But on top of that the same person that owns the space for the club is also the person that owns the warehouse that hold the Bailey Agency. So there goes two of their businesses or in other words most of their income. Yet Peter is still telling his wife that he got this.
Ah… no you don't!
Money has always been a sore subject between Peter and Cynthia. But did he really have to leave out the fact he was renting to buy instead of having already bought the building. That kind of a difference in generally something a wife should know!
Anyways their landlord has promised that he won't lose the buildings to foreclosure and he's offered Peter the chance to buy the building for the club. So of course Peter wants to take the landlord up on it although Cynthia has to point out to him that they can't afford to do that. This time, hopefully, Peter will listen to his wife… you know unlike all the times before where he bought something behind her back!
Kenya recently experienced tragedy – her dog was viciously attacked by the neighbor's dog and sadly Velvet didn't survive it. So Kenya looked for comfort from her family and Cynthia and Kandi, but instead of turning her sadness into another dramatic production where she invites peoples she knows has a problem with her – she chose to be adult enough to not want to play games. Notice the people she didn't call for support.
Meanwhile Kandi finally got her mother to see a therapist. Todd and her friends have been telling her that it was the only way to get Mama Joyce to listen and so she went through with requiring a doctor for a home visit.
She hadn't spoken to her mother since the older woman was accused of setting Todd up with girls and wanting pictures of it. And arranging this meeting with the doctor was her peace offering. However no one can shake Mama Joyce into doing something she doesn't want to.
The therapist advised her to listen and for a while there it looked like she was bent on ignoring him. Then Mama Joyce went to Kandi's rehearsal and she spotted Todd there. The two of them started talking and for once – Joyce chose to hear Todd out.
She listens as he explained that he has never lived off of her daughter and he said he would like for her to come to like and/or love him one of these days. Now will that be possible if he doesn't sign the prenuptial agreement?
In next week's pomo, Todd continues to stall signing off on the pre-nup. Why is that?

At Colonial Williamsburg, archaeologists working on the Anderson Armoury complex this spring came across a nice French button from the 53rd Regiment, which served as artillery during the war.

Up in New York, the folks at Chrysalis Archaeology, a cultural resources firm, recently uncovered several Revolutionary War buttons in their excavations near the South Street Seaport. You can read more about the buttons here. Thanks to Joseph Privott for bringing these to my attention.
British military buttons recovered by Chrysalis Archaeology in New York City, from here. I'm away from my library and unsure which unit wore the "J 5" button at left.
