Beautiful arrangement and exactly like the photo. Thank you
This item was beautiful, just like the picture. I am very happy with the quality and value of this purchase. Thank you very much for such a lovely arrangement.
from Pepperell - MA
Beautiful. Arrived just as it appeared on online store. Actually, it is nicer in person.
Lovely arrangement. Very close to the picture in terms of the flowers, but it looked more "round" and less of a crescent shape, which is what drew me to this arrangement in the first place.
from RICHMOND HILL - ON
The style is just for Flora like a dancing girl splashing her smiles all over the world where she lived and loved. It will be more pleasures if more flowers put in it as the picture showed. I like to image the buds will bloom with her in the heaven, Beautiful with Love.
from Montebello - CA
The arrangement was fresh and beautifully arranged and cut properly. Guests commented on your exquisite piece. AMEN
from Lilburn - GA
I had ask for 3/4 yellow flowers and 1/4 pink to be in this spray and did not get what I requested and also not as full as this picture.
from Morrisville - NC
The response was good and prompt. We are satisfies with the replacement.
from Cliffside Park - NJ
Quite frankly, the flowers that were delivered were an enormous disappointment and a gross embarrassment... and certainly not a proper tribute to my sister! Whomever chose the flowers and set them into "that arrangement" was either blind or didn't know what they were doing. The "arrangement" was so far removed from what "the picture" promised, I had to closely search "the cards" attached to each and every one of the other arrangements to ascertain which was in fact mine. AND THERE WAS NO "DEAR SISTER" RIBBON THAT I HAD REQUESTED (at the time of purchase)FOUND ON THE ARRANGEMENT! Consider yourselves lucky if I don't take the time to contest payment with my credit card company for such a thoughtless piece of trash!
Flowers arrived in perfect timing. They were gorgeous. Some flowers didn't get to bloom but overall still impressive, great pinks and yellows, and the family were very happy with them.
from Carson - CA
I live in California and waited until the last minute to send flowers for my Aunt's wake in Florida because I forgot about the time difference. The customer service representative said she might not be able to accommodate my request because of the short notice, but kindly offered to call around to see if she could find someone that could do it for the Wake, but could only guarantee it would be at the funeral the following day. Some how that wonderful person was able to find me someone and I heard from my cousin the arrangement did in fact make it to the service that evening. I have high regard for The Sympathy Store's customer service and am forever grateful that they were able to accommodate me in spite of the fact they really had to bend over backwards to help me out. You don't get that kind of service anywhere else these days!
I was told by the family that the spray was beautiful, the most beautiful one there! It was delivered as promised. I was very satisfied.
from Jefferson - SC
The Sweet Solace Spray was lovely. The crest shape and flower selection were consistent with the model depicted. I was very pleased with the delivered spray.
A beautiful Spray made just for our mother, with the pink ribbon , stating Mother, made it all personal and perfect. Delivery notifications could not be sent any better, I recommend this florist for quick speedy service, great communication with a personal private touch.
from Manteca - CA
The Sweet Solace Spray was delivered on time and as described. We were quite pleased.
Extremely satisfied with the beautiful arrangement. Extremely satisfied with the customer service and the timeliness of delivery.
from Springtown - TX
This was a lovely tribute to my mother-in-law and was so beautiful!
from Greensboro - NC
This arrangement looked just like the picture. The colors were beautiful.
from Tucson - AZ
Although I did not see the spray as I was not at the service, I got a report from the daughter of the deceased. She said it was beautiful and the personalized ribbon was a touching sight.
from Orland Park - IL
This spray was absolutely gorgeous! Since it was for my sister's wake which was being held out-of-town, it meant a lot to me that it was as beautiful as it was pictured/portrayed on The Sympathy Store's website. Many thanks to The Sympathy Store for making a difficult time less stressful.
from La Grange - IL
This arrangement cost less than the other one I ordered through the same place - for delivery to the same address on the same day. These flowers were simply stunning - the color combination was beautiful, the flowers were all very fresh, and the overall size was worth every penny. I would definitely recommend this arrangement.

Summer Meeting
8:45am (Registration & Refreshments) - 3:30pm
BFA Fairfax High school
75 Hunt Street Fairfax, Vermont 05454
Guest Speaker: Gary Reuter
University of Minnesota Department of Entomology
A long time hobby beekeeper and trained in technology education, Gary began working with Marla Spivak when she moved to Minnesota in 1993. Without his hard work, the program would not be what it is today. He maintains the research colonies, helps train and work with students in the field, designs and builds specialty equipment and speaks to beekeeping, student and civic groups.
He plans the Extension short courses and together with Marla teaches beginning as well as experienced beekeepers. His humorous style of teaching helps the classes stay interested and enthusiastic about a sometimes challenging subject. He is a past president of both Minnesota Hobby Beekeepers Association and Wisconsin Honey Producers Association and director of the American Beekeeping Federation, and remains active in these groups. He still finds time to mange his own colonies, while learning to blacksmith, maintaining an orchard, and helping his wife raise sheep.
The Vermont Beekeepers Association Annual Summer Meeting will feature a potluck lunch for those individuals wanting to participate. To help us organize the food choices and make sure there is enough diversity in the food selection we have broken down the alphabet by the first letter of your last name.
Please see the list below to determine what food category you fall within. If you have a secret family recipe you are eager to share with everyone, by all means please bring it along. The food will be setup in the school's home economics room, which will allow us access to the refrigerators for holding cold items and the ovens and outlets for slow cookers or warm items.
First Letter of Your Last Name:
A-I Salads (vegetable/pasta)
J-R Main Dish
S-Z Dessert
Special considerations for everyone:
1. Due to the increase in food allergies we ask that you bring along a food identification tag stating what the dish is. This may help individuals with specific allergies to identify what your dish might contain.
2. If the dish you are making requires a serving implement, we ask that you provide that as well. The school has a few serving spoons, but not enough to handle the quantity of food we hope to have.
3. We ask that you label your dishes and serving implements to help avoid any confusion at the end of the day when people are collecting their items.
4. Historically we have received too many bread items, please keep this in mind when thinking about the favorite dish you are planning to bring.
5. Although water from drinking fountains will be available please bring your own drinks as none will be available onsite.
Action Request
Donations Needed
In preparation for the VBA Summer Meeting being held on June 22nd at the Fairfax High School in Fairfax, VT, we are asking for your help.
Each year we hold a silent auction to help support the VBA. We are looking for donations to be included in this year's silent auction.

Darn! My congressman is not one of the House Republicans who would vote for a clean budget bill!
Pat Cunningham
Drat it all! Rep. Adam Kinzinger (above), the Illinois Republican, is not on THIS LIST:
In the hours since the government shut down, House Republicans have slowly but steadily been coming forward to say they're ready to pass a bill to fund the government with no strings attached.
As of Sunday night, the number of those Republicans hit 22 (a soft 23, including Rep. Rodney Davis) — surpassing the magic 17 votes needed to pass a clean funding bill if all 200 Democrats stick together and team up with them. Of course, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would have ...

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's possible military intervention in Syria is already running into fierce opposition among some members of Congress, with a growing chorus of Republican and Democratic lawmakers demanding he seek congressional authorization for any strikes against the Assad regime.
In the House, Republican Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia is asking colleagues to sign a letter to Obama that urges him to reconvene Congress and seek approval for any military action. And in the Senate, even some who support punishing the Syrian government for launching alleged chemical weapons attacks are joining the call for the president to first gain Congress' approval.
"Engaging our military in Syria when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers that is clearly delineated in the Constitution," Rigell's letter argues.
A copy was obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday.
To make their case, lawmakers are citing the 1973 War Powers Resolution. Passed after President Richard Nixon's secret Vietnam War-era operations, the law reaffirmed Congress' constitutional responsibility to declare war and put a 60-day time limit on the president's ability to take unauthorized, emergency military action. Since then, commanders-in-chief of both parties have maintained that the resolution is unconstitutional and have regularly disregarded it.
The Obama administration appears likely to use force in the coming days in response to reports last week of a large-scale gas attack by Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces in the Damascus suburbs. At least 100 people died.
Speaking to reporters Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry said evidence of such an attack was "undeniable" and that intelligence strongly pointed to Assad's government — a claim the Syrian leader called "preposterous." Kerry said that international standards against chemical weapons "cannot be violated without consequences," outlining the clearest justification yet for U.S. military action, most likely coming through sea-launched cruise missiles on regime targets.
After a decade of costly and deadly fighting in the Muslim world, Americans strongly oppose any new U.S. war in the region. Opinions in Congress are mixed as well. Republicans are split between hawks and tea party isolationists. Democrats are divided between advocates of humanitarian intervention and those who fear that even limited action risks sucking the United States into another conflict.
Despite the divides, legislators of varying political hue are trying to reassert what they claim is their power to authorize the use of force.
Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, a former Democratic Party chairman, said the Assad regime must be held accountable for its indiscriminate violence and "despicable" chemical attacks. But he urged that proper procedures are followed.
"Absent an imminent threat to United States national security, the U.S. should not be engaged in military action without congressional approval," Kaine said. Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, has made a similar argument.
Meanwhile, tea party favorite Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., has issued a series of tweets arguing that unauthorized strikes against Syria would be unconstitutional and illegal. He is putting pressure on leadership in his own party to call Congress back into session for a debate and vote before any such action occurs.
Lawmakers are scheduled to return from a five-week recess on Sept. 9.
It's unclear what impact all the activity will yield. When the U.S. acted with allies against Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi two years ago, Obama maintained military operations for more than three months without congressional authorization. He said the U.S. wasn't violating the War Powers Resolution because Americans were supporting a NATO-led operation and weren't engaged in full-blown hostilities. Despite criticism from mainly Republican lawmakers, Obama suffered no serious repercussions.

Between masak's Perl 6 contest and the Perl 6 Advent calendar, I haven't done a lot of blogging here lately. Apologies!
So, a discussion on #perl6 the other day got me thinking about another possible interesting use of the
Real role. Here's the basic class:
class TimesPi does Real { has Real $.x; method new($x) { self.bless(*, :$x); } method Bridge() { $.x * pi; } method Str() { $.x ~ "π"; } method perl() { "({ $.x })π"; } } sub postfix:<π>($x) { TimesPi.new($x); }
So, that's simple enough, right? TimesPi stores a
Real number
$.x internally, and the value it represents is that number times pi. There's a postfix operator π to make it really easy to construct these numbers. Because we've defined a
Bridge method, this class has access to all the normal methods and operators of
Real. Still, as presented above it is pretty useless, but defining some operators hints at a useful purposes for this class.
multi sub infix:<+>(TimesPi $lhs, TimesPi $rhs) { TimesPi.new($lhs.x + $rhs.x); } multi sub infix:<->(TimesPi $lhs, TimesPi $rhs) { TimesPi.new($lhs.x - $rhs.x); } multi sub prefix:<->(TimesPi $n) { TimesPi.new(- $n.x); } multi sub infix:<*>(TimesPi $lhs, Real $rhs) { TimesPi.new($lhs.x * $rhs); } multi sub infix:<*>(Real $lhs, TimesPi $rhs) { TimesPi.new($lhs * $rhs.x); } multi sub infix:<*>(TimesPi $lhs, TimesPi $rhs) { $lhs.Bridge * $rhs.Bridge; } multi sub infix:</>(TimesPi $lhs, Real $rhs) { TimesPi.new($lhs.x / $rhs); } multi sub infix:</>(TimesPi $lhs, TimesPi $rhs) { $lhs.x / $rhs.x; }
With these operators in place, basic arithmetic involving TimesPi numbers will stay in the TimesPi class when appropriate. For instance, if you add two TimesPi numbers, the result will be a TimesPi. The cool thing about this is that it is as exact
$.x values allow, rather than forcing everything to be a floating point calculation of limited accuracy.
We can even take things a step further, using this to perform exact trig calculations:
multi method sin(TimesPi $x: $base = Radians) { return $x.Bridge.sin($base) unless $base == Radians; given $x.x { when Int { 0; } when Rat { given $x.x.denominator { when 1 { 0; } when 2 { ($x.x.numerator - 1) %% 4 ?? 1 !! -1 } # could have a case for 6 as well... $x.Bridge.sin; } } default { $x.Bridge.sin; } } }
This checks for cases where we know the exact value of the result, and returns that if it can, otherwise falling back to the standard
Real.sin method.
Of course, just when I was feeling like I might be on to something here, I realized that
$.x was just the number of degrees in the angle divided by 180. Sigh.

I was displeased with my breast size. We did the 3D Vectra imaging and Dr. Waldorf concluded that 220 or 255cc silicone implants would give me my desired results. Everything went extremely smoothly on the day of my surgery ... I was back to normal activity within 1-2 weeks. Overall it was an excellent experience!Learn More
From the very first visit, all my experiences with Dr. Waldorf have been great. I was always self-conscious of my small chest but never as much as after having 2 kids & nursing each of them for 1 year. I had no cleavage at all & finding a swimsuit that could conceal this was very difficult. I went from 32A to 32C which fits my body perfectly & looks very natural. The surgery & my recovery went very smooth & I'm very happy with the result.Learn More

When they are trying to disable the Tamarian ship, the Enterprise fires a phaser beam out of the torpedo tube! Thankfully this has been corrected in the remastered BluRay edition.
Great Moment :
Picard finally being able to talk to the aliens.
Body Count :
One, Captain Dathon
Factoid :
This episode marks the first use of the Magellan shuttlecraft. The outdoor scenes of this episode were filmed just off the canyon on which the Hollywood sign is located.
This episode establishes that Data has encountered 1,754 species during his time in Starfleet. That's more than one a week!
This episode is a winner of the DITL "
Best of Trek
" award.
Many years ago, the Federation made contact with a mysterious species called "The Children of Tamar". These beings look reasonably humanoid, but they are completely impossible to understand. The Universal Translator translates their language into English easily enough, but the words and phrases that come out appear to make no sense. As a result, no relations could be established with them. As this episode opens, Picard is briefing the crew on their new mission. A Tamarian vessel has travelled to the El Adrel system and began transmitting a homing signal towards Federation space - clearly they want to talk again. Picard orders a course set, confident that his people will be able to overcome the language barrier.
On reaching El Adrel, Picard opens communications with the Tamarian ship. A pair of aliens - apparently Captain and First Officer - make attempts to communicate by saying the following : "Rai and Jiri at Lungha. Rai of Lowani. Lowani under two moons. Jiri of Ubaya. Ubaya of crossed roads. At Lungha. Lungha, her sky grey". When Picard responds by offering to establish formal relations, the two aliens look at each other for a moment and the First Officer bursts out laughing.
The two then have what appears to be a brief argument, which culminates in the Captain declaring "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra". Both he and Picard are then beamed off their respective bridges onto the planet below, where the alien Captain pulls a knife and brandishes it at Picard, again calling "Darmok". The episode then follows two strands - in one, Riker and the remaining crew attempt to both recover Picard and establish communications with the Tamarians, while in the second Picard must deal with the alien Captain.
Picard declines to fight the Captain, and the two settle down to try and make camp. Picard is unable to light a fire, but the Tamarian soon has a bonfire going. He performs a ceremony of some kind which involves touching his forehead, then settles down to sleep. As Picard shivers the Captain picks up a burning branch and throws it to him, declaring "Temba, his arms wide". Picard interprets this as "Here, take it".
Meanwhile, in orbit the Tamarians are sending a particle scattering field into the atmosphere to prevent communications or transporters from working. Riker sends a shuttle down to the surface, hoping that the Tamarians are not willing to risk a conflict by firing on it. However, the Tamarian ship uses a carefully controlled energy weapon to disable the shuttle just badly enough to force it to return to the ship. Geordi suggests that he may be able to boost the transporters sufficiently to break through the scattering field, but it will take considerable time. Riker okays the plan, and Geordi sets to work.
The next morning Picard wakes to find the Captain gone. He sneaks into his camp and takes a look at what looks like a diary or logbook of some kind. As he is doing this the Captain runs up, again waving a knife around. Picard declines to fight him - but when he hears a monstrous roar in the distance he realizes that the Captain is actually offering him protection from some kind of alien. The beast soon appears - it is apparently some form of semi-energy being which seems to fade in and out of sight. As it approaches, the Tamarian continues to try and talk to Picard. He soon realizes that that the Tamarian is describing actual people, places and events - his species communicate entirely by metaphor, citing examples from their history. At that moment the monster appears behind him, knocks Picard down and attacks the Captain.
Riker orders Geordi to make an attempt to beam Picard up, even though the engineer is far from sure that it will work. Geordi locks onto Picard - preventing him from helping the Tamarian as the beast lands blow after blow. The attempt fails anyway, and Picard rushes to the aliens side as the creature retreats of its own accord.
As Picard cares for the badly wounded Captain below, the Tamarians deepen their scattering field to make any further attempt to beam Picard off the planet totally impossible. Analysis of their ship shows that they cannot break through the shields and disable the particle emitter in one volley, but Geordi suggests that they might be able to knock out the generator pathways supplying the device if they modify the phasers. They can then beam beam Picard up and retreat before the Tamarians can react. Riker approves the plan.
On the planet, night has fallen. Picard questions the alien Captain about his language, getting the phrase "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" over and over. When the Tamarian declares "Tanagra on the ocean", he realizes it is an island. Darmok and Jalad are two people who arrived separately. They fought a monster on the island, and left together. Picard realizes that the Tamarian is trying to reproduce the event, hoping that they will have to overcome their differences to survive the beast on El Adrel. When the Captain asks Picard for a story in return, he tells it the legend of Gilgamesh and Enkidou. As Picard finishes his story, the Tamarian dies.
The next morning, the beast approaches again. In orbit, Riker orders Worf to fire on the Tamarian ship. They knock out the scattering field and beam Picard aboard - but the Tamarians fire back, disabling the warp drive and crippling the ship. As the Tamarians prepare to finish them off, Picard arrives on the bridge. He astounds his crew by holding a conversation with the alien First Officer in fluent Tamarian, explaining what has happened. He offers them their Captains effects; they accept the logbook, announcing "Picard and Dathon at El Adrel" - clearly a new metaphor has been added to their language. They refuse to accept the knife, however, and depart.
In the aftermath, Riker enters the ready room to make a report to Picard. He finds him reading up on our own legends in the hope that it might help in our quest to understand the Tamarians. After Riker leaves Picard looks out of the window, holding the knife. He repeats the gestures the Tamarian Captain had made on the planet as a final gesture of respect.
To me, this episode perfectly sums up the whole philosophy of Star Trek. We open with a mysterious alien race who kidnap Captain Picard apparently in order to force him to take part in some form of combat. We might expect to see a story similar to The Original Series' "Arena", where Kirk fought a Gorn starship Captain. And indeed, Riker's situation on the Enterprise parallels this type of story to a large extent. Both Riker and Picard open the episode in an atmosphere of trust and goodwill toward the Tamarians. When this is apparently betrayed by the kidnap of Picard, Riker begins by testing the aliens resolve. He sends out a shuttle to penetrate their scattering field, only to see the Tamarians disable it. He then tries to out-tech them with a boosted transporter beam, but again this does not work. Finally, out of options and patience, he opens fire on them in the hope of disabling the ship and rescuing Picard.
Meanwhile, on El Adrel a very different philosophy is being played out. After his abduction Picard meets the alien Captain in a situation demanding mistrust, but where Riker protects his position and gradually uses more drastic means to resolve the situation, Picard makes attempt after attempt to communicate with his opponent. While Riker sits behind shields and preps his phasers, Picard stands unarmed before the Tamarian Captain, declaring again and again "no, I will not fight you". The two strands of the episode thus display diametrically opposed approaches to the problem.
Through both runs the attempt to crack the Tamarian language. When I first watched Darmok, I was utterly convinced that Picard or Riker would eventually modify the phase induction coils on a universal translator or some such thing, whereupon all the Tamarians would start speaking perfect english. Instead, when the monster first approaches Picard realizes that the Tamarian is talking in metaphor. It was a wonderful moment, I just sat up and said out loud "but of course!". This is followed up by the scene in which Picard cracks the mystery of "Darmok and Jalad", and tells the Tamarian the legend of Gilgamesh. That scene is absolutely flawless - superbly written, and the acting by Patrick Stewart and Paul Winfield is outstanding. We realize that the Tamarians are not enemies at all, but are in fact risking everything for a desperate chance to communicate.
At the climax, Riker launches his attack on the Tamarians and although Picard is beamed up the aliens return fire, crippling the Enterprise - the final failure of the aggressive approach to the problem. As they face destruction, Picard strides onto the bridge and orders a channel opened. He then talks to the Tamarian First Officer fluently in his own language, using all the phrases he has so patiently reasoned out on the planet below to calm things down. The 'enemy' that Riker fought so hard to defeat becomes a friend within seconds, once communications have been established.
There are then two nice touches - first the First Officer announces "Picard and Dathon at El Adrel". This gives us the Tamarian Captains name, and lets us know that a new story has been added to the Tamarian language. Later, we see see Picard performing the Tamarian ritual in his quarters as he gazes out at the stars. Each side has shared just a little of the others culture and become wiser for it.
So, we have an episode which is brilliantly written, wonderfully acted and contains a message which is classic Star Trek. Quite probably the best episode not just of TNG, but of any Trek series.

Vint Cerf, co-creator of the Internet, said today he is troubled by the prospect of companies like AT&T avoiding government regulation after the transition from traditional phone technology to all-IP networks. Already, he said, competition was decimated when the Internet moved from dial-up providers to cable companies and telcos.
Cerf—who made the Internet possible by co-developing the Internet protocol and Transmission Control Protocol technology 40 years ago—was speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show's "Silvers Summit" on technology geared toward the older population. "Some people think silver surfers don't know how to use technology. I have news for you: some of us invented this stuff," the 69-year-old Cerf noted.
This happened to be just one day after AT&T described its plans to retire the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network and become an all-IP telco. As we reported, AT&T wants to make this transition without being subject to what it calls "monopoly-era regulatory obligations," which AT&T thinks are unjustified in the Internet age.
Who better to weigh in on that topic than Vint Cerf? He took questions after his talk, and I got the chance to ask Cerf to address AT&T's plan and comment on whether he thinks extensive regulation of all-IP telcos is necessary. Here's what he said:
I'm not allowed to use foul language, right?
My first observation is that it is vital that we maintain openness and neutral access to the Internet's capabilities… The fact that you can carry voice over the Internet is almost incidental to the fact that you can carry any digital content over the Internet. I would not wish to see the question of regulation turn on the notion that Voice over IP is PSTN or is a replacement for PSTN. It is a replacement for almost everything we can do, all of the old network functions can be done on the Internet.
Cerf went on to say network neutrality is important, that we must preserve the right of Internet users to choose what applications and websites they are able to access:
If no regulation leads to your loss of choice of access to applications and content, then that is not an acceptable outcome. If that's what the telcos are trying to accomplish, I am opposed. If all they're trying to accomplish is to make sure the Internet stays as widely open as possible, and they are willing to provide competitive access and give us choice, that's another story.
I have to tell you that in the 1990s there were 7 or 8,000 Internet service providers because the Internet was provided through dial-up. If you wanted to switch you just changed the telephone number you call. When broadband came along the number of choices you had telescoped down to one or two: either a telco or cable company or both, and so competition evaporated. There isn't enough of it. Getting access to competition to discipline the market and give you choice is still an important consideration.
Is Google regulated enough?
Cerf is the "chief Internet evangelist" at Google, which recently avoided an antitrust lawsuit when the Federal Trade Commission decided not to bring charges over the company's search practices. One audience member asked Cerf what kind of regulation is necessary to protect consumers from predatory practices on the Internet, and from companies favoring certain kinds of content over others. The audience member mentioned that the question is relevant to Google, Cerf's employer.
Cerf answered, "With regard to the regulatory practices, what I am after more than anything else is to inhibit anti-competitive behavior. It's necessary to make sure that people who control underlying resources don't do so in such a way as to distort the market. If there is a distortion—and you have to demonstrate that if you want to take regulatory action—then... you need to do something about it to maintain choice for everyone and make sure the market is open for competition."
In a related question, Cerf said that businesses providing products and services on the Internet should be required to make everything accessible to people with disabilities.
Upgrading our brains: It won't always be science fiction
Still another question for Cerf centered on whether we will someday be able to "upgrade" our brains. Cerf noted that Google recently hired Ray Kurzweil, the futurist who believes humans and machines will someday become inseparable in ways that will enhance our brains and bodies and perhaps help us live forever.
"Ray is a real futurist," Cerf said. "His belief is that some point perhaps as early as 2029, that machines will be sufficiently capable that they would be smarter than a human, and that at some point we may be able to upload ourselves into a computer."
As for whether we can upgrade ourselves, Cerf said, "You have to question how does the upgrade work. If you assume our wetware is like a machine, and it is if you look at the chemistry, the question is how does the upgrade actually get injected."
This may involve DNA implanted into our brains and bodies to change their functionality. 'We're off into science fiction land right now," he said.
Yet it may not be science fiction in a few decades. Earlier in his talk Cerf had related the story of his wife, who lost her hearing at the age of 3 only to regain it in 1996 with a cochlear implant, a surgically implanted electronic device that restores the ability to hear.
"The cochlear implant I mentioned earlier would have been science fiction 30 years ago," he said. "And it isn't anymore. So it's entirely possible that we can grow ourselves new capabilities and I would not be surprised if that happens."

Scott Earns Ninth-Place Finish in "Thunder Valley"
Brian Scott and the No. 2 Husky Liners team earned a ninth-place finish under the lights at Bristol Motor Speedway in the Food City 250 Friday evening after battling a lack of rear grip during the final laps. Scott qualified his No. 2 Chevrolet Camaro on the front row, in the second spot, reported early in the 250-lap event that he was too loose on entry and exit of the corner as he fell to the 10th position before the first caution. Crew Chief Phil Gould called the Idaho native to pit road for four fresh tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment. Scott lined up 10th for the ensuring restart and reported that the handling of his Husky Liners/Idaho Potato Camaro was much better the following run. The evening's final caution flew on lap 168 for an incident on the front stretch, the team elected to stay on track positioning the sliver and yellow Chevrolet fourth for the lap 179 restart. Upon taking the green flag, he quickly moved up to third, but battled lack of rear grip during the final laps, ultimately crossing the line in the ninth position.
Start – 2 Finish – 9 Laps Led – 0 Points – 7
"The No. 2 Husky Liners/Idaho Potato Camaro was good, but just didn't hold up on the long run, and the way the race shaped up there were a lot of long runs. I'm proud of the guys. We had the right strategy and track position at the end, but I'm happy to come out of Bristol (Motor Speedway) with a top-10 finish. It was a rough race by running the top side of the track the whole time and we got into the wall a couple times. We bounced back for a top-10 after all we went through, and I'm happy with the outcome."
Austin Dillon Earns Third-Place Finish at Bristol Motor Speedway
Austin Dillon sits second in the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship point standings, just six markers shy of the series' leader, following a third-place finish in the Food City 250 on Friday evening at Bristol Motor Speedway. Driving the No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, the Welcome, N.C., driver started the 250-lap race from the sixth position and spent several laps during the beginning portion of the race following his younger brother and teammate, Ty Dillon, in the No. 33 WESCO Chevrolet, before passing him for the third spot on lap 31. The first caution flag of the event was displayed on lap 65, prompting crew chief Danny Stockman to direct Dillon down pit road for four tires and fuel. The team restarted from the seventh position on lap 71, and Dillon quickly raced his way into the top five. With just 10 cars scored on the lead lap, the team opted to pit for the final time when the caution flag was displayed on lap 152 with Dillon scored in the fifth position. Exiting pit road in the eighth position, Dillon raced his way into fourth within four laps of a long green-flag run during the final stages of the race and ultimately earned a third-place finish.
Start – 6 Finish – 3 Laps Led – 0 Points – 2
"I just can't say enough about our guys on this No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet team. They built such a great Camaro for us. We had some bad pit stops tonight, but that car was built so well that we could just drive back up through traffic, so that's just a testament to what they do at RCR. I'm so proud of Danny Stockman and all of the guys."
Gaughan Finishes 15th at Bristol Motor Speedway
Brendan Gaughan and the No. 21 South Point Hotel & Casino team brought home a 15th-place result Friday night at Bristol Motor Speedway after battling handling issues during the Food City 250. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series regular, started the 250-lap event from the 20th position and quickly alerted crew chief Shane Wilson that he was battling a loose-handling black and gold Chevrolet. Gaughan fell as far back as 25th in the running order, one lap down to the leader, before coming down pit road on lap 67 under caution for four tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment. Scored in the 22nd position for the ensuing restart, the Las Vegas native worked his way into the top 15 by lap 109. As the race progressed, Gaughan informed the team that the car's handling had transitioned from loose to tight, but was able to maintain track position during the final laps, ultimately crossing the finish line 15th.
Start – 20 Finish – 15 Laps Led – 0 Owner Points – 39
"Bristol (Motor Speedway) wasn't that good to me this time around. I really enjoy racing here, but we just couldn't catch a break tonight. We got caught one lap down early on in the race when I was battling a loose race car, and cautions never really went our way to get our lap back to gain track position. The South Point Hotel & Casino team worked hard all day trying to find the right balance on the car, but it was a matter of luck in the end that didn't play into our favor."
Ty Dillon Drives No. 33 WESCO Chevrolet to Seventh-Place Finish
at Bristol Motor Speedway
Ty Dillon and the No. 33 WESCO Chevrolet team secured a top-10 finish in the Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway despite battling a loose-handling condition throughout a majority of the 250-lap affair. Dillon started the event from the third spot and maintained a position within the top-five until lap 80, when he dropped to eighth in the running order as
he struggled with a loose-handling condition on his blue and white Chevrolet Camaro. The Ernie Cope-led team took advantage of several caution periods to make routine pit stops for tires, fuel and chassis adjustments designed to combat the handling issues that Dillon was facing. Handling issues improved following the team's final pit stop of the event on lap 152, and the Welcome, N.C. driver utilized the bottom groove to advance from 10th to post a seventh-place finish.
Start – 3 Finish – 7 Laps Led – 0 Owner Points – 12
"I'm really proud of the No. 33 WESCO team. It was a solid day, and I learned a lot. The car was handling on the loose side throughout the race until the final pit stop, and I think if we could have gotten tightened up earlier we could have gained a few additional spots. Still, I feel like we're gaining a solid notebook for next year. I can't wait until my next NASCAR Nationwide Series race with this team. I want to thank all of the customers from WESCO for coming out to the track."

At the Andrews McMeel Publishing booth I signed posters for Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter (224 pages, Fall 2010).
Andrews McMeel is known for their cartoon collections and gift books, but art books are something new for them. When I first presented the idea for Imaginative Realism a couple of years ago, the head of the company was a little skeptical whether there would be an audience for such a book.
Nevertheless, Andrews McMeel went all out to support the book, just as they did for Dinotopia: Journey to Chandara. The total commitment that they made was a great risk for them.
It was a risk for me, too, but I was rescued by you, my audience. In the last six months since the release of Imaginative Realism, it has reached the #1 position on Amazon.com in the categories of both art instruction and painting, and I was surprised to learn that it is already in its third printing.
So I am very appreciative to of each of you readers of the book and the blog for helping support my work in the rough waters of this economy.
The advance response for Color and Light has also been very encouraging. Here is a sampling of some of the preliminary reaction:
"This is the book I wish I had in art school"
—Dylan Cole, Concept Art Director, Avatar
"This is the text book that we've been searching for but until now, never existed."
—Mark Tocchet, Chair, Illustration, University of the Arts, Philadelphia
"There has been a profound lack of a clear and comprehensive volume on color and light for the representational painter until now. James Gurney's outstanding new book gives traditional and digital artists the means to give accurate and compelling expression to their subject matter."
—Nathan Fowkes, concept artist for DreamWorks and teacher at the L.A. Academy of Figurative Art
"James Gurney's new book, Color and Light, cleverly bridges the gap between artistic observation and scientific explanation. Not only does he eloquently describe all the effects of color and light an artist might encounter, but he thrills us with his striking paintings in the process."
—Armand Cabrera, Artist
"The world we all see is a light painting. Gurney gives you the tools you need to understand and paint the light you see."
Tobey Sanford, Photographer and Author of Capturing Light
"James Gurney's book Color and Light is a rich compendium of practical information vital to any artist concerned with depicting visual reality. With a fresh intelligence, Gurney moves from foundation principles for creating form and premixing a palette, to advanced concepts of color gamut mapping. He gives us a new look at the traditional color wheel, and essential advice for the plein-air painter. I enthusiastically recommend this book to my students."
—Ed Ahlstrom, Professor of Painting,
Montgomery College

Memories of mom from a lucky guy
Every time the phone rang, we knew it could be the call. It finally came Friday morning and the moment was cold, dark and sad.
My mother was gone. And so I wept like sons do. And then I cried some more.
And then I smiled.
Because I'm the luckiest guy I know.
I had a mother for more than 58 years.
Some guys never get to know their moms. Some lose them at a young age. My wife lost her's way too young. So did my mom. Some guys have moms who don't treat them the right way or discourage their dreams or are never there for them.
But I was one of the lucky ones.
I had one of those special moms and I had her for a long time. Love? Come on. It was ridiculous how much she loved her kids and their kids. In the end, she had a hard time with the grandchildren's names. Dementia had taken over. But just a few weeks before she went, my daughter, Kelsey, called me on the phone with a giddiness in her voice.
"Gammy remembered me, Daddy," she said.
She was Gammy to all the grandkids, a trend that began when my oldest daughter, Jennifer, was born. Gammy and Gamp — that was the way she pronounced her grandparents' names, so those were their names for all Dooleys that would follow.
Christmas Eve belonged to Mom. The older she got, the faster she wanted it to move along, but it was her holiday. She hung stockings and filled them when we were way too old to be getting them. The house was full of joy and delightful smells — the way it's supposed to be on Christmas.
The backyard of the St. Augustine house I grew up in was her movie theater. She'd sit and watch the squirrels go after the bird seed she had laid out as if it were the opening scene in "Saving Private Ryan."
Our friends were treated like extensions of our family. How many trips did she make with a car full of kids to a basketball court or the golf course?
She went through so much. Breast cancer, open heart surgery, hot flashes, cold flashes. The doctors kept her alive so many times, and for that I am eternally grateful because I got 58 years.
She saw it in me when I didn't. When I was a high school student with no direction and a penchant for mischief, she saw it. She knew I would one day grow up and write about sports for a living. She would tell her friends the story about the scrapbook I collected with pictures of Florida's 1972 season and the cutlines I wrote for each one. That's when she knew.
She was married to a huge sports fan and had three sons who followed in his footsteps, so she knew a thing or two about sports, if only enough to know when to cheer and when to order another round.
She loved The Beach Boys. She loved the beach. She loved to tell stories, especially if they would make her kids blush.
I can shut my eyes and hear her voice.
"Did I ever tell you about the time Pat fell off the garbage truck and banged his head so hard we had to take him to the emergency room? He had this huge sack of fluid hanging off the back of his head and we're all worried, and the doctor looks at me and asks me what happened. I told him he fell off the garbage truck. And the doctor asks, 'Who threw him away?'"
She loved that one. She loved to brag on her kids, too. There were times I would be embarrassed because she would usher me around the bar at the Elks Club introducing me as her son, the writer, the way some mothers introduce their son, the doctor.
Again, I am lucky. Lucky to have had her for so long and lucky to have so many great memories. The UF-Miami game, 1968, when I was finished selling hot dogs and she made room in the bleachers for me to sit and watch. My First Communion when she patched me together so I could wear a white suit despite a skin-stealing bicycle wreck minutes before we left the house. The way she saw the good in me even when I was bad.
Always a hot meal. Always a packed lunch. Always a hug and a kiss.
I miss her already, but she has been gone for awhile now. The dementia and a bad fall made our last visits painful, but I will remember forever playing a few songs on the guitar for her, including "Surfin' USA." She sang in a feeble voice. It was the last thing I ever heard from her.
But that's not the way I will remember her. I will remember her chasing me into a closet with a broom after I'd done something wrong. I'll remember dancing some awful '70s dance with her at a party. I'll remember her smile, the sparkle in her eyes when one of her children did something well and the way she would drive you crazy making sure you had enough to eat when she could barely make it from the refrigerator to the sink.
I'll remember her always wanting the best for me and doing whatever she could to help make it happen.
And I will always remember her touch when I was sick, her voice when I was down and her compassion when I was falling in or out of love.
Like I said, lucky me.
On my desk at home is a picture of a young couple in their Gainesville home holding a young boy and a baby on a couch in front of some cheap wood paneling. The woman is drop-dead gorgeous. She has no idea what a great life she's about to have, but you can see the love for her family in her face.
That, my friends, is the mom I will remember.
