For the past 17 years, the city of Oakland has tried time and again to reach out to A's owners to build a new Oakland ballpark. And time and again, A's owners like Steve Schott and then Lew Wolff have refused to work with city officials as they chased their South Bay pipe dream. If you want the facts, check out this list of Oakland's repeated efforts in trying to please A's owners.
1995 – Steve Schott and Ken Hofmann buy the A's from Walter Haas Sr. Wally Haas said his family made "substantial sacrifices" in the sale to ensure the new A's owners keep the A's in Oakland. But almost immediately, Schott and Hofmann threaten to move and renegotiate their lease with Oakland, Alameda County and the Oakland Coliseum due to changes made to the stadium for the returning Raiders. Oakland and county officials try to please the new owners by agreeing to pay $11 million to Schott and Hofmann, and up to $20 million in baseball-related stadium improvements over the life of the lease.
1998 – Schott and Hoffman put the team up for sale. The Oakland city council and Alameda County officials start working with Schott and Hoffman and MLB to choose a suitable buyer.
1999 – Oakland/Alameda County officials spend a year working with A's owners and the office of MLB Commissioner Bud Selig on finding a new local owner for the A's. Oakland officials select a group led by ex-A's marketing guru Andy Dolich and produce store magnate Robert Piccinini. In September 1999, Mayor Jerry Brown and other city officials fly to Cooperstown, N.Y., to support the local ownership group that would keep the team in Oakland. Instead of finalizing the deal, the MLB owners table the vote and make no decision. Needless to say, Oakland officials are surprised and A's fans are furious. After getting nowhere for a few months after that, Dolich and Piccinini finally give up and the ownership group dissolves.
2001 – After Steve Schott attends a Santa Clara City Council meeting saying he wants to move the A's there, Oakland and Alameda County officials respond, saying again that they want to work with the A's on building a new ballpark in Oakland. Schott does not publicly respond.
2001 – A report that Schott and Hofmann are on the verge of selling the A's to Hollywood producers with Las Vegas ties shocks Oakland city officials like such as City Manager Robert Bobb, who had met with A's owners just a week before about extending their Oakland lease.
2001 – City Manager Robert Bobb hires HOK Architects to study ballpark sites in Oakland and other parts of the East Bay with the goal of keeping the A's in Oakland.
2002 – Robert Bobb tries to interest the A's in the Uptown site, located in downtown Oakland. A's owners Steve Schott and Ken Hofmann never publicly support the site and never show up at an Oakland City Council meeting. Since then, A's owners and officials have appeared at city council meetings in Santa Clara, Fremont and San Jose in support of ballpark plans in those cities.
2002 – A's fans hold a rally outside Oakland City Hall before a City Council meeting where HOK Architects gave a presentation on ballpark sites. No one from the A's front office attends either the rally or the meeting. When asked about building a new ballpark in Oakland a few weeks later, Schott insults the city by saying, "Basically, they're for 0 for 2" on stadium plans.
2005 – Ex-Oakland Councilman Dick Spees approaches Lew Wolff and offers to lead a booster group comprised of Oakland business leaders to help get a ballpark built in Oakland. Wolff rejects Spees' efforts, telling him that he wants to do it alone. (Oakland Tribune 2/7/05)
2005 – Oakland Councilmen Larry Reid and Ignacio De La Fuente react favorably and enthusiastically to Lew Wolff's presentation to redevelop hundreds of acres near the Oakland Coliseum. Yet, according to later news reports, Wolff almost immediately started negotiating with the city of Fremont for a new ballpark.
2006 – Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums meets with Lew Wolff to discuss keeping the A's in Oakland. Wolff also rebuffs Dellums, telling him that he is focusing on Fremont and that Dellums shouldn't "break his pick on this one."
March 2009 – Dellums again reaches out to Wolff after the Fremont ballpark plan falls apart. But Wolff again rejects Dellums and makes it clear that the A's now want to move to San Jose. Dellums and Oakland City Council President Jane Brunner respond by sending a letter to MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, as does U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, who is an Oakland resident.
December 2009 – Oakland announces two new proposed ballpark sites (and an additional site that was previously examined) near the Jack London Square waterfront.
April 2010 – Oakland City Council President Jane Brunner and Let's Go Oakland leader Doug Boxer release an economic report touting the benefits that a new Jack London Square ballpark would have on Oakland. Brunner and Boxer also hold a public meeting at an Oakland school to discuss and promote the proposed Jack London Square ballpark sites.
July 2011 – New Oakland Mayor Jean Quan reaches out to Lew Wolff and invites him to a meeting to discuss Oakland ballpark sites. Wolff accepts but reveals his negative attitude shortly before the meeting when he tells the Chronicle, "Don't read too much into it."
July 2011 – Quan meets with Wolff and spends an hour discussing the city's ballpark plans. But Wolff refuses to talk seriously about specific plans and, when the meeting ends, he abruptly tells her she has nothing to offer him.
December 2011 – Undaunted by Wolff's disrespect of Oakland, Quan touts both the Coliseum and Victory Court sites as viable spots for an A's ballpark.
May 2012 – Clorox CEO Don Knauss is joined by Oakland politicians and leaders of the Oakland and East Bay business community, saying publicly that A's owners John Fisher and Lew Wolff should negotiate with Oakland on a new ballpark or sell the team to someone who will. A few weeks later, Knauss privately meets with Wolff.————————————-
Facts are stubborn things. So are Oakland baseball fans. Anyone saying that Oakland hasn't done enough to keep the A's are simply, factually wrong. Here's to hoping that A's owners soon start working with Oakland officials who are offering a helping hand. It would be the first time since 1995 that an A's owners did that.

Farming practices have shaped thinking styles
In China, growing rice versus wheat has sown long-lasting cultural differences
Roy Cheung/FLICKR (left), Charlie fong/Wikimedia Commons (right)
Differing thinking styles between Chinese people and Westerners, as well between northern and southern Chinese people, can trace their roots to rice paddies and wheat fields, a new study suggests.
Rice farming cultivates a holistic focus on discerning relationships among people and objects, valuing others as much or more than oneself and showing favoritism toward friends even if they've been untrustworthy, say psychologist Thomas Talhelm of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and his colleagues. Holistic thinking among many modern Chinese people partly reflects regional histories of building communal irrigation systems and cooperatively planting and harvesting rice paddy fields over thousands of years, the scientists propose in the May 9 Science.
They draw that conclusion based on college students'

Happy GivingTuesday!
For those of you who don't know, GivingTuesday is a concept that began last year and has taken hold quickly. Namely, the idea is that after the Black Friday & Cyber Monday holiday rush, we all take some time to give back and donate to those who might need a little help. When we learned about this, of course we jumped at the opportunity to celebrate the second annual GivingTuesday!
The first thing that came to mind: What would the holidays be without supporting Child's Play? A charity near & dear to many geek hearts, and one our monkeys are particularly fond of. If you're not familiar, Child's Play is a non-profit game industry charity, dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in hospitals worldwide. We've made our donation & hope to help them reach their $3,000,000 fundraising goal for 2013!
We also got in touch with a local-to-ThinkGeek charity, Doorways for Women and Families. Doorways provides housing, supplies, and supportive services to protect mothers and their children from domestic abuse and homelessness. We've got a large number of our baby bibs and women's & kids' shirts at our HQ that Timmy & co. will be hand-delivering to their office. We hope you'll consider volunteering or donating to their cause!
Happy GivingTuesday, everyone! Don't stop there, though--we hope the giving continues all year long!

4. Chris Davis' seven strikeouts
Chris Davis' (above) afternoon at Fenway Park on May 6 will go down in history. The designated hitter struck out five times in eight at-bats as the Orioles beat the Red Sox, 9-6, in 17 innings. Davis picked up two more strikeouts -- and a win -- on the mound in the 16th and 17th innings. Davis struck out Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Adrian Gonzalez in two scoreless innings in professional pitching debut. Sure, he had trouble moving his arm the next day, but that game will always be part of Orioles' lore. In August, Davis homered three times in one game to become just the third player (Babe Ruth and Jim Tobin) to achieve a three-homer game and a pitching win in the same season in modern baseball history.

Lexington, OH July 10, 2011 -- AMA Pro Racing has, arguably, never been more exciting or more competitive than it is this season, and the Yamaha Road Racing Teams are one of the biggest reasons why. Whether it's race wins, podium finishes, or pole positions, the Yamaha brand is prominently positioned at the front of races, and right in the thick of things in the championship standings.
Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha rider Josh Herrin earned his first pole position of the season in Daytona SportBike. The combination of the bonus point for winning the pole and his hard-fought second-place finish in Saturday's race put Josh tied for first in the championship points standings heading into Sunday's race.
Josh was poised perfectly in second position for most of Sunday's race, sizing up the race leader and planning his move to the front. It was the kind of racecraft and talent-beyond-his-years that has become a Josh Herrin trademark.
But, while coming out of Mid-Ohio's famed "Carousel" on the final lap and with the checkered flag in sight, Josh's Yamaha YZF-R6(r) momentarily lost a bit of traction, and in the hotly contested DSB class, that's all it takes. He crossed the finish line in fifth.
Despite the outcome, Josh is in second place in the season points standings and just 15 points out of the lead. Note to all you race fans: stay tuned for this class right till the final race of the season.
Josh Herrin's Yamaha teammate, Tommy Aquino, who rides for the Yamaha Extended Service/Pat Clark Motorsports/Graves/Yamaha team had two more of his patented in-the-lead-pack races, but with a decided difference on Sunday. When positions suddenly changed at the end of the final lap, Tommy capitalized and brought his R6 across the finish line in 2nd place for his first podium finish of his young career. And, with his 5th-place finish in Saturday's race, Tommy moved up to 4th in the season points standings.
According to Ron Heben, manager of the Yamaha Extended Service/Pat Clark Motorsports/Graves/Yamaha team, "Tommy has been working so hard all year long, and he's been dicing with the leader in most of the races this season. We're so happy to see him earn the podium position that he so richly deserves." Tommy chimed in, "Now, I've got to get up to the top step of the podium." That will undoubtedly happen soon for the Saugus, California, rider.
In the equally hotly contested American SuperBike class, Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha defending SuperBike champion Josh Hayes finished second in Saturday's race and earned a valuable point for leading the most laps. Then, on Sunday, aboard his crossplane-crankshaft #1 Yamaha YZF-R1(r), the proverbial apple cart was slightly upset, with Josh's closest rival and the current season points leader finishing second, while Josh finished an uncharacteristic fourth. With everything said and done on Sunday, Josh currently sits just 11 points out of the championship lead with lots of racing left in the season.
"I race for wins," Josh said, which is clearly his mantra, but he and the team are still pleased to be in the "catbird seat" and ready to move back into first in the standings with the next race weekend coming up in less than two weeks at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Well, maybe "pleased" is a little bit too strong a word for this highly competitive team who is now more motivated than ever to get to California for the next race weekend.
For the Yamaha Extended Service/Pat Clark Motorsports/Graves/Yamaha team, American SuperBike rider Chris Clark made a textbook pass on his former Yamaha teammate, former AMA Superbike champion and World Superbike race winner Ben Bostrom. Chris made the pass just before the finish line in Saturday's race and moved himself into 13th position at the checkers. And then, he improved upon that result with a 12th in Sunday's SuperBike race aboard his #2 R1.
In SuperSport, where America's up-and-coming riders ply their trade, Yamaha R6 rider Hayden Gillim notched his first race win of the season on Sunday, which was preceded by a 3rd in Saturday's race. LTD Racing/Y.E.S./Yamaha rider Tomas Puerta, who is also R6-mounted, finished 3rd on Sunday, which followed his 7th on Saturday. Tomy is currently 2nd in the SuperSport East standings.
So, all in all, not a bad weekend for the Yamaha Road Racing teams at Mid-Ohio. A pole position was captured by one rider, a first-time podium was attained by another rider, and valuable season points were tallied by all the Yamaha Road Racing Teams. Now, on to California!

FAYSTON — A Starksboro man died after driving his vehicle into a telephone pole off Route 17 in Fayston on Tuesday evening.
Jonah Rule, 32, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, according to authorities.
Vermont State Police said they were called to the scene of a one-car crash on Route 17 at around 8 p.m. There, they found a white, 2008 Subaru Impreza overturned on its roof off the south side of the roadway.
Investigators believe the vehicle left the southern side of the roadway, collided with a telephone pole, and proceeded to overturn, causing the vehicle to become entangled in the electrical wires.
Police contacted Green Mountain Power to shut off the power supply, thereby allowing rescue personnel to approach the vehicle and determine that Mr. Rule had not survived the accident.
Rule's body was taken to the Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Burlington for an autopsy.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation.

I'm not looking to beat the world in this race, just want to finish and have fun. If I am not trying to set a real solid time, how much do I really need to change what I am doing? I ran 6 miles or so in an hour when I was still in so-so shape, so I feel like I'll be fine doing the workouts I'm doing.
Essentially, I don't really feel the need to start a whole training plan for this race, because I am already doing what I need to do to get in solid shape. Does that make sense?

So kenny the kangaroo began working out relatively seriously back in late january. since then, there has been evidence of improvement in different places. the question on this gentleman's mind is this: is there any sort of supplement that is helps your muscles recover faster? soreness is nice, and kind of feels good in a lot of ways, but it would be nice to mitigate some of the soreness. any thoughts?
Mr. Colby wrote:Anybody belong to a Planet Fitness? Is it worth it?
1) The gym is absolutely helping me meet my goals. I'm not looking to become a bodybuilder, just trying to lose body fat/gain muscle and get myself looking good for the beach. They have plenty of different cardio machines, plenty of free weights, strength machines, and they also have (at least at my gym) five Smith machines that you can use for squats, benches, etc. I like the gym because you don't get the excessive meathead grunting you get at other gyms.
2) They offer classes, but that's not really my thang.
3) Honestly, I have no complaints about the gym at all. Sure, it doesn't have a swimming pool, racquetball courts, and a bunch of other nonsense like rock climbing walls, but it has everything I need to meet my fitness goals. Like I said above, it's awesome that you don't have meatheads dropping weights, grunting, and being annoying in general. And the facilities are always clean. highly recommend.

3-D Look at a Supernova Remnant
This movie presents a visualization of the supernova remnant known as SNR 0509-67.5. This unique three-dimensional view reminds us that the objects in Hubble images are not all at the same distance but rather spread across light-years of space. The stars and the shell of glowing gas from the Hubble two-dimensional image have been separated using both scientific knowledge and artistic license to create the depth in the movie. Of note, the relative distances between stars and the nebula have been greatly compressed.

June 4th at Flash Forward: The Future of Photobooks
Flash Forward Festival Boston
Panel Discussion: The Future of Photobooks
Saturday, June 4, 2011, 4-6 pm
Free and open to the public
Panelists: Andy Adams, Miki Johnson, Shane Lavalette, Michael Itkoff, Bruno Ceschel, Alan Rapp
Moderated by: Stephen Mayes, Managing Director, VII Photo
Despite belt-tightening at most publishing companies, photobooks are experiencing a renaissance in the midst of the digital revolution. In early 2010, Miki Johnson and Andy Adams explored this phenomenon in a month-long online discussion organized through the liveBooks RESOLVE blog, and FlakPhoto, which they respectively founded.
Moderator Stephen Mayes will guide an interactive tour through many of the questions that surfaced during the Future of Photobooks project: from "What is a book?" and "Why make or buy a book?" to "Will self-published photobooks ever be profitable?" and "Do more photobooks in the world ultimately make each book less valuable?"
The Flash Forward Festival is being held in Boston at the Fairmont Battery Wharf.

Danny Blocker was born to build this car
In Danny Blocker's baby scrapbook is a photo of the Hemi-powered Willys Gasser that Fred Hurst raced in the '60s. It belongs in there—as much as any first tooth photo and birthday invitation. Even as a little boy, Danny had wanted a Willys coupe. When he was 7 or 8 years old, he saw a made-for-TV movie called Rebel of the Road (aka Hot Rod), featuring a gray-primered Willys coupe in the title role. When his father, Michael, an avid hot rodder, took him to his first car show, Danny was convinced that the gray-primered 1940 Willys coupe he saw there was the same car. Had to be.
The years that followed were filled with model kits and radio-controlled versions of Willys, and countless clipped photos like the Fred Hurst picture Danny's mother saved from one of Danny's notebooks. Along the way, Danny became friends with Roger Smith, owner of the gray '40 he'd seen at the show. Smith eventually sold that car, but later started building another one. "I stayed on him forever," Danny says, asking the same question for 10 years: "Is it for sale?" In 2008, the answer, which had always been "no", became "maybe". "He pulled a picture from his pocket, gave it to me, and said 'Come see me,'" Danny remembers. "Three weeks later, I owned my first steel Willys coupe."
Danny shared Roger's vision for the Willys. Although the car had its roots in drag racing, he wanted to finish it as a traditional-looking street rod. And with help from his father and from Roger that's what he did.
As you can see, the DeLuxe coupe exterior has been kept stock—no chop, no cuts, and no holes. Danny brought the body to like-new condition, retaining the trim, bumpers and bumper guards, and Stablite headlights. S&H Chrome in Madison, Tennessee, plated the bright parts. Door handles came from Willys Replacement Parts and a pair of swan neck mirrors was added, along with blue tint windows from Vintage Glass. Dale Green and Cliff Simmons performed the final sheetmetal massaging before Green and Charlie Rivera painted the coupe—not in TV-movie primer, but in attention-getting Marina Blue.
Consistent with the street theme, Danny resisted the temptation to load the Willys chassis with Gasser-oriented goodies (he describes the car as an "anti-Gasser"). Working with the original frame, Danny boxed the 'rails, installed a Fatman IFS, and added rack-and-pinion steering. At the other end, he added a Ford 9-inch, running 3.55 gears with a limited slip, suspended with Posies leaf springs. QA1 adjustable shocks at both ends improve the ride even more. The brakes are 11-inch discs in front with stock drums in back.
The steel wheels are original too, but have been modified. The 15×7 rears were widened 3 inches with 4 inches of backspacing; and the 15×5 fronts were widened an inch with 3-1/4 inches of backspacing. Eleven wheels were made before Danny had four that were just right. Finding a set of Willys stainless hubcaps was another challenge. The wide whites are 225/70-15 and 185/65-15 Diamond Back Classics radials.
Except for the chrome alternator, aftermarket pulleys, and brackets from Alan Grove Components, the engine compartment evokes the mid '60s. Larry Pruitt did some mild machining on the homebuilt '66 Chevy 327, running an L79 cam and dressed up with a '55 Olds Rocket air cleaner and valve covers. The small-block is fed by a 650-cfm Edelbrock AVS four-barrel carburetor on a Chevy L79 intake manifold. The mixture is lit by a PerTronix Flame-Thrower ignition system and exits through block hugger headers, 2-1/2-inch custom pipes, and Flowmaster mufflers. Jimmy's Automatic Transmission in Columbia, South Carolina, assembled the column-shifted 700-R4 with a 2,200-rpm GM lockup converter.
Bone white leather covers the Willys bench seat and door panels in a rolls 'n' pleats pattern, and was also used for the headliner. Loop carpeting matches the paint color. Upholsterer Jerry Noone at Noone Customs did a beautiful job. The factory dash was only mildly modified to house the Classic Instruments gauge package, with controls and vents for the Southern Air A/C system installed in the lower panel. The '55 Chevy steering wheel is a reproduction, painted body color, and mounted on a '74 GM tilt shift column. Danny used a Southern Rod wiring kit to hook everything up, including a Secretaudio SST system from Custom Autosound with Pioneer amps and speakers.
In addition to his father and Roger and everyone else who wrenched on the car, Danny got support from his wife, Katie, and from friends who helped him locate needed parts to build the Willys he had always wanted. He says his most memorable experience with the car was the morning after he bought it, when he realized that there was a Willys in his garage—and that it was his.
"A lot of people tell me 'I can't believe Roger sold you that car,'" he told us, "but I know that Roger wanted me to have it. It was meant to be."

Illinois BioNanotechnology Seminar Series Fall 2011: Investigating Dendritic Filopodial Dynamics in Highly Controlled Microenvironments
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
The establishment of the intricate wiring of the nervous system relies on filopodial navigation to form complex interconnections between neurons. Until recently, cellular level investigations into filopodial dynamics had focused primarily on axonal growth cone filopodia. Here we focus on their oft ignored cousins—dendritic filopodia, and the cues that guide their development. While being implicated in crucial developmental processes of dendritic morphogenesis, spinogenesis and synaptogenesis, these filopodia have received only limited attention. Our long-term goal is to advance our understanding of the processes that define and modulate the connectivity of neurons in the mammalian brain, with our overall objective being the elucidation of the underlying filopodial dynamics as governed by chemical guidance cues.
Anika Jain is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before joining U of I, She pursued her undergraduate studies at Panjab University, India, completing a B.E. in Biotechnology in 2007. She is currently working with Prof. Martha Gillette towards furthering understanding of the processes that define and modulate the connectivity of neurons in the mammalian brain. She is specifically interested in examining the factors influencing the development of dendritic filopodia, which are dynamic, thread-like protrusions of the cell membrane of neuronal dendrites, using microfluidic culture systems. When not peering through the microscope at neurons, She can be found digging deeper into matter, following recent developments in the field of particle physics. Other interests outside the lab include astronomy, reading, trekking and bungee jumping.

Remember Connect 4? It's a fun little game in which players try to, well, connect four colored disks in a row. This is an easy build that you can do complete in an afternoon. Dealing with 42 holes and 42 disks gets a little monotonous though. But just remember: 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
If you would like to try one out, here's my template to get it all set up.

Getting around in Dusseldorf is relatively simple using public transport. The bus, tramway and subway network are interconnected, and tickets are sold at stops or from vending machines. Instructions are usually only in German. It is often worth buying a Day Pass (Tagesticket), which is valid until 3am the following day. Dusseldorf is fairly flat and compact, however, and many visitors choose to walk between attractions in the city centre; those that can't be reached on foot are accessible by taxis, which are easily hailed on the street. Renting a car in Dusseldorf is also a good option but not really necessary unless travelling outside of the city centre.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between last Sunday in March and last Sunday in October).
220-230 volts, 50Hz. European-style two-pin plugs are standard.
The unit of currency is the Euro (EUR), divided into 100 cents. ATMs and exchange bureaux are widely available. The major credit cards are becoming more widely accepted in large shops, hotels and restaurants, although Germans themselves prefer to carry cash. The quickest and most convenient way to change money is to obtain cash from one of the ATM machines that are ubiquitous features on all German streets. Banks are closed on weekends, but exchange bureaux at airports and main railway stations are open daily.
The international access code for Germany is +49. Telephone numbers in Germany can range from four to nine digits. There are surcharges on international calls made from hotels; it is often cheaper to use public telephone boxes in post offices, which use phone cards. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns.
Emergencies: 110 (Police); 112 (Ambulance/Fire)
Everything about travel documents
There are plenty of transport options available at the airport, including taxis, limousines, local buses, a Skytrain Shuttle Bus, and the fast and efficient S-Bahn.
Car rental companies at the airport include Europcar, Hertz, Budget and Avis, among others.
Designated airport taxis are available from Arrivals and Departures. The approximate fare to central Dusseldorf is €24.
Airport facilities include ATMs and banks, dental and medical facilities, a pharmacy, laundry services, baby-changing rooms, airport hotels, a petrol station, a tax refund counter, baggage storage facilities, meeting rooms, pastoral services, VIP lounges, conference facilities, and a number of shopping and dining options.
Short-term parking is available within walking distance of the terminal, while long-term parking is serviced by a free shuttle. Short-term parking is located opposite the terminal and charges about €4 per hour. Long-term parking costs between €24 and €39 per day, depending on the parking lot.
There is wifi throughout the airport; the first half hour is free and thereafter charges apply. There are multiple internet access points in the terminal building.

Last blog I had, I was
bragging discussing my weight loss, but did not share any of my secrets. Though it pains me to share how I've lost it all, and having someone in the program look better/skinnier than me, I guess it is all for the best.
As much as we hate to exercise, it is a MUST. You can lose weight by eating healthier, but you can lose even MORE weight by eating healthier and engaging in exercise. It is standard to workout at least 30 minutes a day. Thirty minutes may not sound like that much, but factoring in shower time, putting on gear and getting to and from the gym, whatever tiredness you may feel afterward that hinders productivity, and motivation (sometimes I have had 20-minute coaching sessions to get myself up to go to the gym) it can be a lot longer. My modification of this standard exercise is to do something that makes you sweat at least for 30 minutes, 5 days a week. You should give your body a break, but the other days you should engage in moderate physical activity…be moving but you don't have to feel gross when you're done.
As odd as this may sound, if you get into a long enough routine you can actually enjoy working out. When I first started running, I HATED IT. Nothing made me cringe more than having to go out on my run. I actually look forward to exercise now, because I have seen the results, heard the compliments, and actually can feel the endorphins coursing through my body. It takes a while to get there though, but you have to stay on top of it.
It is helpful to find a time of day where you just need to get away from everyone and go to the gym. Some people find it easier to go to the gym with others, but most of my friends are not as motivated as me and when I am exercising I tend to be "in the zone" and not one to talk to anyone. Some people can get up early to workout (just getting it out of the way for the day), or do it at night at the end of their day when they are done with all of their activities. I can't do any of these things, because I am too tired. By the time it is lunch at my workplace, I need to get out of the office so I head to the gym. It breaks up my day, and I come back to the office jittery off of endorphins. You just have to find out what works for you!
Last, campus has plenty of gyms all around campus. There are 2 really close by Gerlach Hall. There is the Recreation Physical Activities Center (RPAC) located by the football stadium. It is state of the art with tons of equipment and they have shower facilities, so it is the perfect place to go to after work or class to get a quick workout in. I don't believe in being sweaty in class, and I'm pretty sure all of my classmates would hate me if I was funky in class, but there is a gym literally right across from Gerlach. The only bad thing about campus gyms is that they are swarmed with young and overly muscular showcase exercisers (aka bros) that can kind of be annoying
Diet is the most important aspect of losing weight. You can spend 2 hours in the gym a day (which is actually unhealthy for you), but if you're still eating Taco Bell every night (like my roommate) then you won't achieve all that you can in losing weight (and are still susceptible to a stroke).
First of all don't buy snacks. One time I read something that if you don't buy snacks at the grocery store, then you won't have them in your house. Aka you won't eat them. Simple but genius! By not snacking on bad food, you can have extra money to buy fruits and vegetables. Okay the annoying thing about this is that fruits and vegetables are super expensive and expire super early. However, they are better and skinnier for you. Want a bag of Doritos? Put that down AND HAVE SOME CELERY.
Second, cut down on red meat. As discussed in an earlier blog, cows, pigs, and sheep are the fatties of the animal world. Chicken (kind of) and fishes are the leaner (aka skinnier) meats, so that is what you should go for. I mean it is still hard for me to resist Taco Bell sometimes, but if you are craving the taste ground turkey is lean and tastes almost like beef.
Third, cut out everything you KNOW is bad for you. This can be hard, but like exercise, if you do it often enough it will become routine. Like a veggie tray makes me as happy as a plate of cookies to me now. I almost swear for the last 2 weeks, there has been Adriatico's (this delicious but obscenely unhealthy pizza) in every class. It can actually be annoying sometimes, so it is good to have that apple handy and then mentally compliment yourself for your self-restraint. Self-compliments also help. If you have to eat out, eat the healthy options provided if they have any. One thing that I have learned about being a Fisher graduate student is that the Subway across the street (NEXT TO THE GYM) is practically a staple. The sell really good salads (enough for a meal) for only $4…and yogurt parfaits!
I also cook more and eat less. What that means is that I cook a more than an average size meal for myself. I don't eat it all in one sitting. I pack up about half of it to use for lunch/dinner the next day. So instead of eating out, you already have a meal the next day. And in doing so you save money on eating out or have cut out one thing you have to worry about doing the next day.
Last, I know right, generally eat less in one sitting. You can eat more but break up that one meal throughout the day. This helps because I am eating, but never really hungry (because when you're hungry you tend to overeat). I also never eat until I am full anymore. Oh and I drink A LOT of water. Many times when someone is hungry, they are actually thirsty (or so says this article someone posted on my mini feed on Facebook one time).
Ok so once again, I apologize for a super long post, but many have asked me how I've lost my weight (and no not really eating disorders which is a joke in my cohort). I am no fitness expert, and I definitely am not a calorie counter or someone who analyzes every single nutrient of what I am eating. These are the simple things that I do that have worked for me as a busy graduate student.
Hope I see less of everyone (as in weight not as in frequency)!

What: Truth Be Told's Grand Slam Story Slam
When: 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 16
Where: Shine Restaurant & Gathering Place, 2027 13th St., Boulder
Tickets: $12
Info: storyslamboulder.com
Once upon a time in Boulder, 10 people got up in front of 100-or-so strangers and told stories. They told their stories every other month in the back room at Shine Restaurant & Gathering Place. Each story lasted five minutes or less. Some were delivered off the cuff, some were polished, some were funny, others were revealing.
And all of them were true.
Nina Rolle and Johanna Walker came up with the idea to produce a bimonthly story slam in Boulder, when both the Boulder performers/writers were looking for a way to work together. They hatched Truth Be Told a year ago, and Sunday, the duo will co-host 10 storytellers in TBT's inaugural Grand Slam Story Slam. A new series of slams is scheduled to begin in April.
Sunday's slam is the culmination of a year's worth of storytelling competitions — each of Sunday's storytellers won a Truth Be Told slam in 2013.
In December, Sharon Glassman wasn't exactly sure what she was getting into when she told a humorous tale about the time, as a journalism student in New York City, she tried — and failed — to interview boxer Michael Spinks for a story.
Glassman, a writer and musician who lives in Longmont, hadn't told that story publicly before. Her effort earned her a spot in Sunday's Grand Slam.
Glassman said the story slam experience was both "exciting and terrifying." And well worth it.
"You're part of a community that's being created in that moment," she said. "I hadn't met the other storytellers before, and they were awesome."
Rolle and Walker are both fans of The Moth, the New York-based storytelling organization that produces live story slams, as well as podcasts and stories on public radio. When they decided to launch a Boulder slam series, they reached out to other slam organizers around the country for tips about how to create one in Colorado. They discovered story slams are popular around the country — San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Scranton, Pa., and Key West, Fla., are among the cities that currently host them.
Boulder's version invites two or three guest storytellers to each event. The other slots are filled by people who show up and volunteer to share a story that night. The mix has worked well, Walker said.
"We want to make it a place where people can take risks — come in at the last minute and tell a story — but we also really want to have high-quality storytellers," she said. "So having the featured storytellers helps that."
Audiences are given a scorecard, and storytellers are judged in a handful of categories during each slam, leading to winners.
The Truth Be Told organizers weren't sure how popular their series would be when they hosted the first one at Shine in February 2013. They were pleasantly surprised.
"I was going to be happy if 30 people came in the door," Rolle said.
A capacity crowd of 100 showed up for the first slam, and Truth Be Told has drawn standing-room-only audience numbers for most of the slams since, Rolle said.
Rolle and Walker serve as emcees for each slam, and the pair perform stories and songs they've created for the event, keeping things lively and often lighthearted throughout the evening.
Each slam has its own theme. December's was "naughty or nice," while Sunday's theme is simply "hand." Of course, that's open to many different interpretations, Walker said. The event's web site suggests "hand in glove," "sleight of hand and several more.
"To see how people relate to the theme makes for a fun evening," Walker said. "It can be very literal, and sometimes it can be kind of in through the back door. But the theme is what ties everything together."
Part of Rolle and Walker's onstage instructions before each slam is to clarify what a story slam is not. "This is not a poetry slam, this is not ranting, this is not stand-up comedy, this is not therapy," they remind.
So what makes for a good story?
"A killer opening sentence is a really good thing," Rolle said. "You've got to have a good 'once upon a time.' "
"A good story includes a clear beginning, middle and end," Walker added.
"There's a conflict and a resolution," she said. "There's some tension that's created where we don't know what's going to happen."
Finding some humor always helps, Rolle said.
"And I always like a funny story," she added. "If you can make me laugh and make me go 'aw,' then that's a really good story."
Mostly, a good story connects the storyteller and her audience.
"It think it's taking what sounds like a first-person story and turning it into a 'we' story … that's what marks a successful live story," Glassman said. "When the audience, at some point, says, 'Oh, I feel that, too.' "

It's Deborah Tannen Day - or how family communication can go weird
Why is this day Deborah Tannen day? According to Wikipedia, it's her birthday. Which is the same as my birthday. Yippee! Tannen is the author of the books You Just Don't Understand and Talking from 9 to 5 – about the style of discourse. It's a discipline called socio-linguistics. Or, how language shapes interactions between people. In addition to talking about how language between the sexes is sometimes a cross-cultural communication, and about how the language of work affects who does what and who gets the credit, Tannen also talks of communication within families.
In her book, I Only Say This Because I Love You Talking to Your Parents, Partner, Sibs, and Kids When You're All Adults, Tannen gets into the whys and wherefores of communication mixups and cross-signals within families. I'm so glad to have her input on this, because as one individual with one family, I feel very un-credible saying, "Wanna interview family? Do this. Worked for me!" Having her research on conversations within families is very helpful—it helps get me around some of the YMMV - your mileage may vary - circumstances.
Connection vs Control
In my Why not ask Why? post, I touched on her tension between connection and control—everyone wants to be connected, and everyone wants to avoid being controlled, but sometimes, as a family member, you just can't help but be controlling toward another. And, well, something that one person says with the intention of caring is received by the other as controlling.
When High-involvement and High-considerate people talk together
Another, more general part of Tannen's body of research involves two different speaking styles.
Both of them have their own internal logic about what constitutes polite speech. They each have their own standard for "how long a pause between taking turns in conversation?" and "what is the amount of loudness or emphatic that constitutes good conversation? Naturally, each style differs from the other. In fact, they clash.
High involvement: Good, polite conversation is one where both talk in quick turns, pauses are short, and you display your enthusiasm and interest in the other person by asking lots of short, machine-gun style questions, and even talk simultaneously. This is the way to be friendly. Silence is not golden. It's better to hold up your own end of the conversation by talking than remaining silent. They feel free to talk over others, "trusting others to persist or withdraw depending on how badly they want to raise a topic or complete a point." (Tannen, IOSTBILY, p. 160) Storytelling is a team sport.
High considerate: Friendliness and goodwill in conversation follows a more relaxed pace of speaking, with longer pauses between people taking turns. You do not press yourself on the other person. If you're just acquaintances, avoid overly personal discussion of yourself. Being indirect is good, because it gives the other person an "out" if the other one misunderstood your question, or prefers not to engage in that particular topic. Being considerate of the other person enables social cohesion. Storytelling is an individual endeavor.
When the two styles talk to one another, watch out!
Members of each group share a standard for what constitutes a suitable pause between when one talks and then the next person talks. Match that pace, and you're golden. If you don't, you either feel shut out of the conversation, or end up dominating it.
High-considerate thinks,
"He talked to much, I couldn't get a word in edgewise. So I was quiet. Then he talked more. So I stayed quiet, and he kept talking." Or, "I don't understand why she kept asking me question after question after question, one right after the other. I felt like she was putting me on the spot… or almost accusing me—I couldn't believe that. How rude!"
High-involvement thinks,
"He didn't answer my question, so I asked another one. I don't think he had anything to say. I kept asking questions to come up with one that he would answer. The more I asked, the less he said. He just. wouldn't. talk. … he wouldn't take part in the conversation. How rude!"
Oh, but this doesn't apply to me, you say. All my family are the same. We have the same style.
Maybe you do, and maybe you don't.
Here are some regions where each style is known to dominate (not exhaustive; I have pulled this from Tannen's books)
High-involvement: New Yorkers (City), French-Canadians, Jewish of Polish or Russian descent, Italians, Armenians, African Americans, Russians.
High-considerate: Californians, New Englanders, Midwesterners, England, Sweden, Scandanavians, Irish Americans, German Americans.
It's all relative. To some Alaskans the usually-high considerate person from California is someone who "talks too fast and won't let a word get in edgewise."
So how does this difference work in families?
That's all well and good. But how about families? Marriage between people with conflicting styles will make conversation among partners and inlaws (and extended family) a task to navigate this difference. Further, regional differences play a part. (I started out life in one area, and moved to another where the dominant style was different than the one my parents have.) This gets played out among generations, too. What was the going conversational style in your grandmother's era may be different from what you experience now.
How does this affect interviewing?
If you are high considerate interviewing a high involvement person, your task is easier. You've already set yourself up as listener. Crank up your facial expressions a notch to match the high involvement "storytelling is a team sport" style. (If you end up vocalizing on the recordings more, well, you'll have your own voice in the recording more than ideal, but if it makes your interviewee more comfortable, then go for it.)
If you are high-involvement interviewing a high-considerate person, make a decision right now to slow your mind down to a level that will seem painfully slow. Each time you want to ask a question, take a couple of slow breaths. Seriously. Give the interviewee enough time. That amount of time may seem painfully long to you, but for your interviewee, it constitutes a suitable pause to stop and gather thoughts. Ask one question at a time (machine gun style: just don't do it.)
So, Happy Birthday to the high-involvement style Deborah Tannen from fellow birthday person and the high-considerate style writer of this post. Thank you for helping me understand "how the other half talks" and for giving me a way to share good interviewing advice that applies to more families than just my own.
What about you? Have you experienced this kind of cross-cultural communication in families? What happened? How did you feel about it?

The fall of the dawn is planned to be an RPG which during the game will allow players to move up the ranks of the "Crusaders" during a period of cleansing a newly conquered state, this is not done by killing villagers or anything evil like that, it is in fact done by removing monsters/animals the crusaders find could be a threat to them from the island along with raiding bandit camps and removing outlaws from towns. During this game the players will move up from a low recruit to a veteran captain, while earning gear and weapons from your rank. This game will support up to 8 players going through the epic journey together.

Σε αυτή την ενότητα, θα καλύψουμε την ορολογία το πως το KDevelop λειτουργεί. Συγκεκριμένα, θα εισάγουμε τις έννοιες των λέξεων συνεδρίες και έργα και θα εξηγήσουμε το πώς ρυθμίζουμε τα έργα με τα οποία θα δουλέψουμε στο KDevelop.
KDevelop has the concept of sessions and projects. A session contains all projects that have something to do with each other. For the examples that follow, assume you are the developer of both a library and an application that uses it. You can think of the core KDE libraries as the former and KDevelop as the latter. Another example: Let's say you are a Linux kernel hacker but you are also working on a device driver for Linux that hasn't been merged into the kernel tree yet.
So taking the latter as an example, you would have a session in KDevelop that has two projects: the Linux kernel and the device driver. You will want to group them into a single session (rather than having two sessions with a single project each) because it will be useful to be able to see the kernel functions and data structures in KDevelop whenever you write source code for the driver — for example so that you can get kernel function and variable names auto-expanded, or so that you can see kernel function documentation while hacking on the device driver.
Now imagine you also happen to be a KDE developer. Then you would have a second session that contains KDE as a project. You could in principle have just one session for all of this, but there is no real reason for this: in your KDE work, you don't need to access kernel or device driver functions; and you don't want KDE class names autoexpanded while working on the Linux kernel. Finally, building some of the KDE libraries is independent of re-compiling the Linux kernel (whereas whenever you compile the device driver it would also be good to re-compile the Linux kernel if some of the kernel header files have changed).
Finally, another use for sessions is if you work both on the current development version of a project, as well as on a branch: in that case, you don't want KDevelop to confuse classes that belong to mainline and the branch, so you'd have two sessions, with the same set of projects but from different directories (corresponding to different development branches).
Let's stick with the Linux kernel and device driver example — you may want to substitute your own set of libraries or projects for these two examples. To create a new session that contains these two projects go to themenu at the top left (or, if this is the first time you use KDevelop: simply use the default session you get on first use, which is empty). We next want to populate this session with projects that for the moment we assume already exist somewhere (the case of starting projects from scratch is discussed elsewhere in this manual). For this, there are essentially two methods, depending on whether the project already is somewhere on your hard drive or whether it needs to be downloaded from a server.
Let's first assume that the project we want to set up -- the Linux kernel -- resides in some version control system on a server, but that you haven't checked it out to your local hard drive yet. In this case, go to themenu to create the Linux kernel as a project inside the current session and then follow these steps:
du -sk /path/to/KDevelop/projectto see how much data has already been downloaded.
|The problem with the progress bar has been reported as KDevelop bug 256832.
|In this process, I also get the error message You need to specify a valid location for the project which can be safely ignored.
Alternatively, if the project you want to work with already exists on your hard drive (for example, because you have downloaded it as a tar file from an FTP server, because you already checked out a version of the project from a version control system, or because it is your own project that exists only on your own hard drive), then useand in the dialog box choose the directory in which your project resides.
The next thing you want to do is set up other projects in the same session. In the example above, you would want to add the device driver as the second project, which you can do using exactly the same steps.
If you have multiple applications or libraries, simply repeat the steps to add more and more projects to your session.
There is of course also the possibility that you want to start a new project from scratch. This can be done using themenu item, which presents you with a template selection dialog.
Some project templates are provided with KDevelop, some can be fetched from the internet by pressing the button , but even more are available by installing the KAppTemplate application. Choose the project type and programming language from the dialog, enter a name and location for you project, and click .
The second page of the dialog allows you to set up a version control system. Choose the system you wish the use, and fill in the system-specific configuration if needed. If you do not wish to use a version control system, or want to set it up manually later, choose . When you are happy with your choice, press .
Your project is now created, so you can try building or installing it. Some templates will include comments within the code, or even a separate README file, and it is recommended that you read those first. Then, you can start working on your project, by adding whatever features you want.

Yesterday, I spoke to the widow of one of Hawaii's first post-war Karate Sensei. Near the end of our conversation, she said, "Thank you for preserving the 'old style' Karate."
Aftewards, I thought about what "old style" Karate meant. I have used the term myself. I guess that what constitutes "old" depends on your frame of reference. I think in terms of the 1920s and 1930s -- the days when Kentsu Yabu, Choki Motobu, Mizuho Mutsu, Kamesuke Higashionna, and Chojun Miyagi came to Hawaii. They taught some of Hawaii's earliest students, such as Seishin Uehara, Thomas Shigeru Miyashiro, Taro Azama, and Kiyoshi Kiyabu.
Others might consider the 1950s and 1960s to be "old style." These where the days when GIs and government workers returned to Hawaii after learning Karate while stationed in Japan and Okinawa.
Others might think of the days when the early Shotokan instructors come to Hawaii, starting with Kiyoshi Aihara in the late 1950s, and followed by Hirokazu Kanazawa, Masataka Mori and Tetsuhiko Asai in the 1960s.
In my mind, "old style" Karate was value based -- character was the goal, not only self-defense skills. "Old style" Karate was not commercial or sport based -- these "innovations" came later. Actually, the commercialism of Karate gave rise to the sport aspect. If Karate is a business, you need to promote it, you need to get the public's attention. Tournaments are a good way to get and keep students.
In "old style" Karate there was no tuition (or it was very inexpensive, almost a token) and there were no tournaments. Karate was a private matter. Masters were know for their expertise in certain kata or aspects of the art. Students would often be referred by their Sensei to train with other experts. Karate was not a business. There was no issue of losing business.
In Okinawa, Karate experts -- the very best of them -- were know as bushi. I wrote an article entitled Okinawa's Bushi: Karate Gentlemen. I hope that you will read it. Okinawa's bushi were the "old style" Karate masters.
You do not have to be old to be "old style." And an old person could be very commercial and sport oriented. It all depends on the person.
I sincerely hope that the "old style" of Karate will be preserved -- that traditional values will continue to be taught. I am trying to do a small part through the Hawaii Karate Museum, the Hawaii Karate Seinenkai, and my dojo, the Hikari Dojo.
Each of us , in our daily lives, can practice and preserve "old style" Karate.
