*Note on Today's Music: I absolutely love this song. Hope you enjoy it too.
Days Til Spring: 16!!!
And if you can, please help out Merbear.===========================>>>
"Live every day like it's your last!"
I'm not a big fan of that phrase. To me it always meant "Go out and accomplish every dream you have NOW!!!!"
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for accomplishing dreams (the more inane the better!), but do you have any idea how exhausting that would be???
I took a vacation once. Spent a day sailing on the Caribbean, two days scuba diving, drinking and wandering every night, then came home with just enough time to pick up a pair of tickets from someone and drive out to the beach for a concert.
Went back to work the next day, and called in sick the next day because I was beat. Plum tuckered out.
I needed a vacation to recover from my vacation.
I personally couldn't imagine doing everything I want to do every single day.
But there's one stunt that I could do say once a month.
Go rock climbing.
In scuba gear.
No, wait, stay with me here.
Strap the flippers to my back, and wear extra padding under the scuba tank. Which would be under the parachute. (If you've been reading me for a while, you know where this is going.)
Do a nice six or seven hundred foot climb up a cliff face. Drink a lot of water on the way (wetsuits are ridiculously warm). Get to the top, step away from the edge and enjoy the view.
Step a few feet further back from the edge.
Then run like hell…and…LEAP!!!
Sail off the cliff cackling with only the piece of mind that barely-functional insanity can provide!
Clear the cliff and toss the pilot chute up, dragging the main chute out. (Do it fast. It takes four hundred feet for the canopy to open.)
At ten feet off the water, pull all of the chute harness' quick release pulls. Arms crossed over the chest (still holding the flippers. You didn't drop them, did you?), point your toes because you're still moving pretty fast, and…SPLOOSH!
Fit on the mask and the flippers.
Swim at a leisurely pace underwater to the nearest unattended jetski.
Ditch the tank and vest (flippers too), climb on, and throttle up towards the nearest tropical beach.
Find one not too busy, with a thatched roof bar restaurant visible from the water.
Crank the throttle and ride that puppy right on to the beach. Extra points if there's a boat ramp and you leap that sucker with a flying dismount towards the bar.
Pull the Hawaiian shirt out of your bag, put on the shades, and order the lobster for dinner. And a drink. With a lot of rum.
Could you imagine trying to do that daily???
But just once, wow, would it make a hell of a day!
And how are you spending your tuesday?

When I was a kid, I had a serious interest in astronomy. I owned one of those pocket guides to the solar system and read and reread the entries on the Sun and the planets. While it was fun to think about the latter, especially the possibilities of extraterrestrial life (I was also reading Galaxy, If, and other sci-fi magazines), the Sun was mainly the object of a slightly nervous awe. In the age of the Cold War and the hydrogen bomb, the power of the Sun was almost too overwhelming to contemplate. A lot of it was the sheer size and heat – and what sentient creature doesn't fear a colossal fire?
The Sun, the Earth, and Near-Earth Space, one of Library Journal's 2009 Notable Government Documents, provides, among other things, hypothetical voyage to, and even into, the Sun. Subtitled "A Guide to the Sun-Earth System", this handsome, profusely illustrated book from NASA is accessible and well-written enough for a layperson like me to understand; it's the facts that are overwhelming. I hate to admit it, but despite my youthful interests, I didn't remember, or didn't know, that sunspots are huge magnetic fields generated by the Sun's incredibly turbulent nuclear furnace, their darkness representing their cooler (7,000 C. versus the 10,000 C. of the solar surface) temperatures. I knew that the peak of the 11-year sunspot cycle was prone to cause magnetic disturbances that affected radio electro-magnetic fields on earth, but didn't realize that the spots themselves were magnetic fields. I also didn't know that the widespread 1989 electrical blackouts that affected Quebec and parts of the United States were due to the solar flare, coronal mass ejection (CME) and geomagnetic storm of March 13 of that year.
The Sun, the Earth, and Near-Earth Space is packed with historical and scientific information about the Sun and its relationship with our planet – which means with all of us – that I found totally engrossing. The verdict: an excellent read for a non-scientist interested in astronomical phenomena, a fine textbook for a college-level course, and a reminder of how much we depend on this much-worshipped but little-understood source of all energy and life.

Robert Smith, Charles Ogletree, and Johanna Wald hare recently posted a synopsis of their chapter, titled "Coloring Punishment: Implicit Social Cognition and Criminal Justice" (in Justin D. Levinson and Robert J. Smith (eds), Implicit Racial Bias Across the Law, 2012) on SSRN. Here's the synopsis:
The United States has become the world's leader in incarceration. The size and pervasiveness of the criminal justice regime have no parallel in history. One in 100 citizens are locked away in prisons and jails – a figure that reflects a tenfold expansion in the corrections population in less than four decades. If we count those individuals who are currently on probation or parole, more than 7 million men and women are under legal supervision – a number equal to the population of Israel. This system of mass incarceration – which includes policing, corrections, and the courts – employs 2.2 million Americans – which exceeds the 1.7 million Americans employed in higher education and the 650,000 employed by the system of public welfare. At the turn of the millennium, approximately 1.5 million children had at least one parent in jail or prison, and 10 million have had a parent in jail at some time during their lives.
Racial disparities are a defining feature of this regime. One in eight black males between the ages of 20–29 are in prison or jail on any given day, as compared with 1 in 59 white males of the same age. At the beginning of the new millennium black males had almost a 1 in 3 chance of serving time in prison, as compared with 3 in 50 for white males. The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights has suggested that current criminal justice policies and practices "threaten to render irrelevant fifty years of hard-fought civil rights progress."
There are varied explanations for these disparities. Most analyses point to a constellation of complex and interrelated structural and institutional factors that include poverty, high rates of joblessness, low levels of education, and the clustering of blacks and Latinos in concentrated urban areas that are more heavily policed than predominantly white suburban and rural areas. In this chapter, we put forth a complementary analysis, one intended to fill in gaps that we consider to be missing from these structural analyses. The ongoing racial disparities evidenced in every phase of the criminal justice system can be at least partly explained by the levels of implicit racial bias held by key actors in the system. Although we cannot yet offer "the smoking gun" that indisputably links the presence of implicit bias among decision-makers to harsher criminal sanctions for black Americans, our hypothesis is backed by a robust and fast-growing literature that has developed over the past decade. This scholarship demonstrates conclusively that Americans (whites and people of color alike) possess negative implicit biases against black citizens. These implicit race biases are held by liberals and conservatives; by young people and old; and by residents on the East Coast, the West Coast, the South, and the Midwest. They often coexist, unknowingly by the holder, alongside more overtly egalitarian views. What makes them so important in any discussion about race and the law is that these implicit biases frequently determine our actions and sway our decisions. In the criminal justice context, these biases lead, for example, to more arrests and harsher sentences for blacks than for whites who commit similar offenses.
It is vital to understand and document more fully how and where implicit biases operate within the criminal justice system. Doing so will enable us to develop policies, practices, and strategies aimed at identifying and reducing their effects. In this chapter, we offer specific illustrations of how implicit racial bias influences the actions of key decision-makers at various phases of our criminal justice system. This chapter is not intended to be a comprehensive examination of the role of implicit bias within the criminal justice system; rather its objective is to match the literature on implicit bias with actual examples of its "real-world" effects. From the formulation of criminal justice policy, to the decision to target citizens of a particular race, to the selection of criminal petit juries, the impact of implicit race bias on decisions about arrests, sentences, and severity of punishment is broad and deep.
This chapter proceeds in five parts. Part I sets the stage for this analysis, introducing key implicit racial bias studies that demonstrate that the face of crime in America is black. More specifically, it documents that black citizens are considered to be more dangerous, hostile, and prone to criminality and also less fully human than white citizens. Building on this foundation, Part II examines the role that implicit racial bias plays in the formulation of crime policy. Part III examines why implicit racial bias might drive disparate outcomes in the enforcement of criminal laws. This part examines the phenomenon in two distinct contexts: (1) the decision to punish a student in the school discipline context and (2) the use of unnecessary force in police–citizen encounters. Part IV uses the example of discriminatory jury selection to explore how implicit racial bias might contribute to the exclusion of black citizens from the criminal justice decision-making process. Part V concludes the chapter.

This page has a collection of ideas and resources having to do with measuring runtime memory of a Linux kernel.
Unfortunately, the existing memory measurement techniques do not give a 100% accurate accounting of memory pages (since some pages are counted more than once by some measures). See Accurate Memory Measurement - that page describes techniques (and patches) which can be used to measure the runtime memory more accurately.
- 1 Measuring memory in Linux (the basics)
- 2 Watching the kernel stack
- 3 Thread local storage memory usage
- 4 Heap memory usage
Measuring memory in Linux (the basics)
Here are some basic techniques for measuring memory usage in Linux.
'free' and /proc
The 'free' command shows the memory on a machine, in certain categories.
[need explanation of categories here...'man free' doesn't explain the numbers]
$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 507564 481560 26004 0 68888 185220 -/+ buffers/cache: 227452 280112 Swap: 2136604 105168 2031436
This information is obtained from /proc/meminfo, which has additional details not shown by the 'free' command.
The following is on my machine with 512 Mb RAM, running Linux 2.6.3:
$ cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 507564 kB MemFree: 26004 kB Buffers: 68888 kB Cached: 185220 kB SwapCached: 29348 kB Active: 342488 kB Inactive: 32092 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 507564 kB LowFree: 26004 kB SwapTotal: 2136604 kB SwapFree: 2031436 kB Dirty: 88 kB Writeback: 0 kB Mapped: 165648 kB Slab: 73212 kB Committed_AS: 343172 kB PageTables: 2644 kB VmallocTotal: 524212 kB VmallocUsed: 7692 kB VmallocChunk: 516328 kB
See http://lwn.net/Articles/28345/ for a description of these fields
PS fields for memory information
The 'ps' command provides information about the memory usage of processes on a Linux system. However, it is not well documented. Here are some notes on using 'ps' and /proc to view memory usage information on a running Linux system:
meaning of ps fields:
- %Mem - percent of memory
- VSZ - Virtual Size
- RSS - Resident Set Size
- SIZE - Equivalent to VSZ
- others??
'top' fields for memory information
See 'man top':
- %MEM -- Memory usage (RES)
- A task's currently used share of available physical memory.
- VIRT -- Virtual Image (kb)
- The total amount of virtual memory used by the task. It includes all code, data and shared libraries plus pages that have been swapped out.
- SWAP -- Swapped size (kb)
- The swapped out portion of a task's total virtual memory image.
- RES -- Resident size (kb)
- The non-swapped physical memory a task has used.
- CODE -- Code size (kb)
- The amount of physical memory devoted to executable code, also known as the 'text resident set' size or TRS
- DATA -- Data+Stack size (kb)
- The amount of physical memory devoted to other than executable code, also known as the 'data resident set' size or DRS.
- SHR -- Shared Mem size (kb)
- The amount of shared memory used by a task. It simply reflects memory that could be potentially shared with other processes.
- nDRT -- Dirty Pages count
- The number of pages that have been modified since they were last written to disk. Dirty pages must be written to disk before the corresponding physical memory location can be used for some other virtual page.
Are the following assertions true:??
- virtual memory usage of a process, excluding shared libs = VIRT - SHR
- physical memory usage of a process excluding shared libraries = RES - SHR
/proc info
see 'man proc' for detailed information about the files and fields in the /proc filesystem.
/proc/<pid>/statm fields: columns are (in pages):
- size total program size
- resident resident set size
- share shared pages
- trs text (code)
- drs data/stack
- lrs library
- dt dirty pages
Here an example: 693 406 586 158 0 535 0
/proc/<pid>/status fields:
- Vm Size: 2772 kB
- Vm Lck: 0 kB - ???
- Vm RSS: 1624 kB
- Vm Data: 404 kB
- Vm Stk: 24 kB
- Vm Exe: 608 kB
- Vm Lib: 1440 kB
The process maps shows the actual memory areas that have been mapped into a process' address space, and their permissions.

mem_usage command to consolidate data
David Schleef wrote a program to consolidate the information from /proc/<pid>/maps, and total up each kind of memory for a process.
Here it is: Media:mem_usage (It was obtained from http://www.schleef.org/~ds/mem_usage)
Here is the result of running mem_usage on the process used in the previous example:
$ ./mem_usage 25042 Backed by file: Executable r-x 2048 Write/Exec (jump tables) rwx 0 RO data r-- 240 Data rw- 56 Unreadable --- 0 Unknown 0 Anonymous: Writable code (stack) rwx 416 Data (malloc, mmap) rw- 20 RO data r-- 0 Unreadable --- 4 Unknown 0
Measuring dynamic memory usage of Linux
- http://www.halobates.de/memorywaste.pdf - Great paper by Andi Kleen, of SUSE Labs, about dynamic memory usage of Linux systems
Many of the memory reporting mechanisms for the kernel are inaccurate, due to not recording sufficient information about the true state of the system. Here are some random notes on these inaccuracies. To see information on different methods of getting more accurate memory information, see Accurate Memory Measurement
- "copy-on-write" pages - an mmap'ed file may be very large in the process address space, but empty until written to.
From Ratboy on Slashdot:
The mmap() call can map a file (backing store) and allow data to be shared. Memory does not need to be used until the data is read (or written). And this time, the backing store doesn't even need swap (because the file is the backing store). ... A page of code that is shared - may become a page of code that is private. A page of data that is unwritten doesn't have to exist. Even if it is read! A page of data that is written may STILL be shared.
From others on Slashdot:
Top will show you the same as ps does, ps reads /proc/<pid>/statm and asks what's going on. The problem on linux is the copy on write principle wich saves heaps of memory, but makes it virtually impossible to figure out what belongs to what. The thing is, when you fork it maps the memory and marks everything as copy on write, when something needs to write to part of the memory, then it will make the copy for each process.
However asking the process how much memory it has allocated will show all memory including stuff that is marked copy on write - that is, I could have 100 processes showing they each use 1.4MB of memory, because they all share the same libray, but in fact, its the same copy they are all using so I'm only using 1.4 MB instead of 140MB (+PCB et. al)
Each thread in a process shows up as consuming the same amount of memory (either this only happens under Linuxthreads or I don't have any threaded applications running on my system).
Device mappings show up as consumed memory (which generates plenty of XFree86/xorg complaints). If you want to find out how much memory xorg/X11 is actually using (bytes in cached pixmaps on behalf of each process and sans device mappings), try the program here: http://22.214.171.124/dist/pixmap_mem-1.0.tgz
This contains a tiny program that lists how much memory X is using for other programs by caching pixmaps and a perl script that lists how much memory X is using sans device mappings. }}}
- pmap is a utility which shows the memory usage of a process (it looks like it just reads and interprets /proc/<pid>/maps).
Someone on Slashdot said:
pmap *also* overestimates memory usage, because some portion of the mapped address space isn't actually in use. RSS, on the other hand, only measures memory that is actually in use, but doesn't distinguish between memory that is shared and memory that is not. VSZ is the most pessimistic measure, since it includes all mapped memory, shared and unshared.
Watching the kernel stack
Kernel Stack Usage
- Tim is adding a stack checking function to KFT (See Kernel Function Trace)
- This new feature has not yet been published
- Ingo Molnar has stack overflow debugging built into the latency tracer of his Realtime Preemption patch
- Recent -mm tree added stack-corruption-detector.patch (8th March, 2006)
Thread local storage memory usage
- Thread local storage memory usage
- With conventional implementaion, Stack would be used for Thread Local Storage.
- This means detail information would be inside in stack and, it's quite difficult to
catch them from kernel side.
Heap memory usage
- Heap memory
- glibc has capability to collect statisitc information of heap functions like malloc()
and other functions like memory leak checking or double free.
- [need pointers to memory checkers]

Top Moments: Kim Zolciak's Housewives Adieu and Homeland's Lame Death
Our top moments of the week:
14. Best (Worst) Performance: After Jess rebuffs Sam's attempt to win her back on New Girl, she changes her mind and decides to take him back. But to tell him so, she must sneak into the children's hospital where he works. When she and the gang run into a security guard, they follow Jess' lead and pretend to be carol singers. Although Jess is the only one of the bunch who can carry a tune and no one seems to know the words to "Come All Ye Faithful," she still belts an impressive "I don't know the words" to the tune of the classic Christmas carol. Sam magically appears, even more smitten with her than he was before. Dear Sam, we have a great idea for what to get Jess for Christmas: a karaoke machine!
13. Most Surprising Victory: In the ultimate underdog win on The Amazing Race, The Fabulous Beekman Boys' Josh and Brent overcome a three-team alliance and six second-to-last place finishes throughout the season to win the $1 million after Josh completes the final memory brainteaser Roadblock. The couple, who never even placed in the top two before the last leg, may not be the strongest team to ever cross the line first, but if it wasn't clear before, it's definitely clear now: The only leg that matters is the final one.
12. It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere Award: Let's all raise a glass to Amanda Seyfried! The Les Miserables star reveals to David Letterman on the Late Show that she is "pretty drunk" after downing three glasses of whiskey before the segment. Turns out, she always takes some "liquid courage" before doing a live show after noon. "I understand that I have a problem maybe, but you know? It really gets me through," she says. Naturally, Dave ends the interview by whipping out some Jameson. Cheers!
11. Not-So Smooth Moves Award: When Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23'sJames has a meltdown after learning that Chloe has been subletting his apartment while he's been doing Dancing with the Stars, June's mom comes to the rescue with some calming Chinese tea. Too bad she misreads the label and it's an herbal drug of some sort. The result? A spastic, hallucinating James, and one unmitigated disaster of a Dancing performance. Peeved that all the effort he put into learning the routine was reduced to 20 seconds, the "real" James presents the number in full at the end of the episode - and he's got moves! See you for real on Season 16?
10. Best Reunion: Subtle Sexuality is back, but this time Ellie Kemper is anything but subtle. When The Office star appears on her old co-star's show, The Mindy Project, as Heather, the longtime girlfriend Josh (Tommy Dewey) has been cheating on with Mindy. When Heather finds out Josh is with another woman, she bursts into Mindy's apartment mid-office Christmas party, calls Mindy a home-wrecker and proceeds to wreck Mindy's home by destroying her kitchen and - worst of all - destroying her gingerbread house. So does this mean we shouldn't hold our breath for another Subtle Sexuality music video?
9. Best Response: Anne Hathaway had quite the embarrassing wardrobe malfunction at the Les Miserables premiere this week, and Matt Lauer wastes no time bringing it up to her on the Today show. "Seen a lot of you lately," he quips (ew!) before pressing her about it. Hathaway responds with an eloquent (PR-prepped?) answer that shrewdly turns the conversation back to what she was there for. "Well, it was obviously an unfortunate incident," she says. "It kind of made me sad on two accounts. One was that I was very sad that we live in an age when someone takes a picture of another person in a vulnerable moment, and rather than delete it and do the decent thing, sells it. And I'm sorry that we live in a culture that commodifies sexuality of unwilling participants, which brings us back to Les Mis, because that's what my character [Fantine] is. ... So, yeah, let's get back to Les Mis." Well played, Anne, well played.
8. Weirdest Homage: For its entire run, Gossip Girl has paid homage to the cinema in every one of its episode titles. But for the show's penultimate episode, the writers take that off the page and on to the screen when contentious father-son duo Bart and Chuck Bass fight on the top of a New York high-rise. The battle is set to the tune of a score reminiscent of John Williams' Star Wars theme, but unlike The Empire Strikes Back, things end badly for father, not son, when Bart goes to punch Chuck and Chuck darts out of the way - accidentally sending Bart over the side of the building. Bart manages to cling on to the side of the building, but even though Bart says he really does care about his son, Chuck refuses to give him a hand and Bart eventually falls to his death. So if the Basses are Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, does that make Dan Yoda?
7. Worst Family Values: Scandal's Huck is heartbroken to learn he was framed for the president's murder by none other than Becky, the woman with whom he shared all his secrets and has fallen in love. Unfortunately, when Becky figures out that Huck plans to betray her and turn her in, she breaks his heart again by killing the innocent family he spent so many months watching. It's ironic that the closest Huck ever comes to the family is when they are all lying lifeless in their home, but the moment is still a devastating loss for a man who is not so great at getting close to anyone other than Olivia Pope. Oh, it's on now!
6. Best Christmas Miracle: Kristina's battle with breast cancer on Parenthood has been heartbreaking to watch. Fortunately, the worst of it thus far, when Kristina is admitted to the hospital on Christmas Eve and goes into septic shock, is followed by the best, when Adam suddenly wakes up in the hospital to find Kristina awake and laughing. See, Victor? Santa really does exist.
5. Best War of Words: It's not often that Stephen Colbert is left speechless, but Mandy Patinkin manages to do just that when he drops by The Colbert Report. The Homeland star says he's not afraid of terrorism, to which Colbert takes issue. Launching into an intense tirade, Patinkin says he blames America "partially" and "the other side equally," and would go to war with words, not weapons. "Peace in the Middle East isn't going to be created by another war or violent act on the other side," he says. "It's going to be created by someone like yourself and someone like me, two individuals who have a belief and who can talk to another group of individuals and people start changing their minds. It's not a magic trick." At a loss for a zinger, Colbert finally remarks: "You convinced me, but only because I thought Saul Berenson was talking there." (Don't worry, it's all good between them - they perform "Good King Wenceslas" with Michael Stipe afterward.)
4. Most Vengeful: On The Vampire Diaries, Klaus not only thwarts Tyler's plan to take him out, but massacres every one of the hybrids in Tyler's army. As if that isn't enough to get back at Tyler, Klaus finds a slightly tipsy Mayor Lockwood and decides to hit Tyler where it would hurt most: drowning his mother. How's that for a Mystic Falls Merry Christmas?
3. Best Exit: Stick a fork in Kim Zolciak because she is done.... with the Real Housewives of Atlanta. OK, don't really stick a fork in her because she is pregnant, but the reality star makes it clear that she is leaving the Bravo series. After a fight with the other ladies over a vacation, she says, "I'm done with this whole thing," and goes to take off her microphone. As she's leaving the restaurant, and the show, she curses at the cameramen to back up, and her normally soft-spoken husband Kroy Biermann enters the picture and tries to shove the camera away before the producers intervene. It's a surprising, but fitting, final moment for one-half of the franchise's most explosive duo. Who will NeNe Leakes spar with now? Oh, wait.
2. Most Anti-Climactic Death: After highly trained FBI teams spend hours unsuccessfully trying to locate Abu Nazir on Homeland's penultimate Season 2 episode, Carrie has an epiphany: He never left! So she takes a team on one last sweep, and before you can hum the theme to Halloween, Nazir has slit a soldier's throat and is chasing Carrie through the poorly lit warehouse in a way that would make Michael Myers proud. Carrie fights Nazir long enough for backup to arrive, and when they draw down on Nazir, he takes the bullets with a martyr's peace. It all seems too... easy. Which is why we're eagerly waiting for the other shoe to drop in the finale.
1. Worst Prop: Ryan Murphy was not wrong when he said real-life horrors are scarier than ghosts, and this week's episode of American Horror Story: Asylum is proof of that. After Dr. Thredson rapes Lana, she discovers she's pregnant with the spawn of Bloody Face. Not ready to face 18 years of mothering her captor's evil spawn, she attempts a coat-hanger abortion, but is unsuccessful. Where do we register for a skinned cat mobile for the wee one?

Can Old Guys Get Stronger?
As an older climber with a long history of climbing and athletics, I find that age, lifestyle, work commitments and other responsibilities have been taking their toll on performance.
As an older climber with a long history of climbing and
athletics, I find that age, lifestyle, work commitments and other
responsibilities have been taking their toll on performance. While I still
maintain a dedicated and refined training routine, progress seems to be
stalling. Any advice from the coach that will help the baby-boomer crowd stay
in the game?
— Richard M. Wright, Lakewood, CO
Editors note: This article first appeared in Rock and Ice issue 174 (January 2009). Thanks to developing research, Neil has since modified his views on the topic. That said, some of the below is outdated. Look for an updated article on this topic in the upcoming issue of Rock and Ice, Spring of 2020, issue 264.
You can't realistically expect to get stronger or fitter as
a veteran if you have been climbing and training all your life. Only veterans
who are new to climbing can hope for pure strength improvements. Remember,
however, that climbing is not track and field. Tactics, skill and technique
play a larger role in our sport than strength gains. Improvements in overall
climbing performance are truly in the cards for older climbers, whether novice
or experienced, if you use brain over brawn. I'm not saying don't train; but
over time, training should focus more on technique and you should incorporate
more recovery into your schedule. Without seeing your program, I can't say why
you are stalling, but if you are still doing the same volume as you did when
you were younger, then inadequate recovery is the most likely reason for the
plateau. Less is more as a veteran, and if you rest more you will gain more.
In addition, completely avoid high-intensity exercises such
as campusing or deadhanging. The extra five or 10 percent you may or may not
gain by doing these high-impact exercises is not worth the six months out with
injury. The older you get, the more the scales should tip towards endurance
training, and I would suggest cutting powerful bouldering out altogether by the
time you hit 60. Pay extra attention to nutrition and hydration and get
sufficient sleep. I would also advise regular antagonist training sessions
(including push-ups and reverse wrist curls) as these become exponentially
important to stave off injuries.
[Also Read What to Expect When Expecting – Rock Climbing While Pregnant]
Above all else, don't stray from trying to climb with
perfect technique. Give yourself continuous technique prompts—laser-precise
foot placements, straight arms, twist in on steep terrain, regulate the
breathing, and so on.
Pay close attention to your warm-up and listen to your body
as if you were tuning a piano. Warm-up using a pyramid sequence of routes—not
too many, nor too few, and in the perfect ascending grade order. Get your rest just right between each
burn, and above all else pick the right routes! The older you get the more
demoralized you may become if you select routes that are all about raw power or
withering endurance. Stick to climbs that require a bit of skill and subtlety
and you can continue to meet the challenge long into the future.

I Had A Dream And It Came True! (Wedding)Ressurrection's Wedding on the National Mall - OPEN INVITATIONAugust 28, 2013The President is expected to attend the festivities at the Martin Luther King Jr. and/or Lincoln Memorials to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington and the I Have A Dream speech. One couple in the Nation's Capital will commemorate this speech with their wedding ceremony scheduled at the Jefferson Memorial at 2pm on August 28th, 2013. During this monumental wedding ceremony the couple will share their vows and incorporate their Martin Luther King Jr. inspired theme, "I Had A Dream And It Came True." An earthquake shook the Washington DC Area on August 23rd, 2011, and a Tornado followed that week. But the sun came out on August 28th, 2011, the 48th anniversary of the, "I have a dream" speech. After Graves returned from the opening day of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial her Groom made his move, they talked over a game of chess, in which she won the game and his heart. Graves had witnessed a reenactment of Martin Luther King Jr. speaking on that day. She believed it to be a tape recording until she saw a gentlemen from California drawing a crowd. With such a rich beginning Graves and Groom intend to share their nuptials as a public testament of their strength, faith and love. They welcome those who celebrate love to join them on the lawn of the Jefferson Memorial, at 2pm on August 28, 2013 the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech saying, "I Had A Dream And It Came True."

The Attitude of Desperation- How to Promote Yourself

Legislature revives bill to ban texting while driving
TALLAHASSEE — Only Florida and a handful of other states have done nothing to keep drivers from texting while they're behind the wheels of their vehicles.
Polls show overwhelming public support for the ban. Law enforcement groups, medical authorities, Florida businesses, telecommunications companies, car dealers and manufacturers, AAA and the AARP all want it done.
Yet for the last four years, the Florida Legislature has balked at passing a ban on texting while driving.
On Wednesday, Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, who has led the fight to impose the ban, began her latest effort by winning unanimous approval for her bill (SB 52) in the Senate Transportation Committee.
The 9-0 vote didn't come easily. Some senators questioned whether Detert's bill (SB 52) was tough enough.
Her bill would make texting while driving a secondary offense, meaning law enforcement officers would need another reason for pulling over a driver before they could be charged with the violation, which would carry a first-time fine of $60 plus court costs.
Detert said she would support stronger provisions in the bill. But after seeing past efforts fail, she said she is seeking a version that could win acceptance in the House, where last year a similar bill was never heard.
"This isn't the perfect bill," Detert said. "Some of you want a Rolls Royce, and you're going to get a Volkswagen … but this is what has evolved after four years of trying."
Detert also called it "an embarrassment" that Florida was in a small minority of states that have done nothing about the problem. Some 39 states have enacted driving-while-texting bans, with most of those being enforced as primary violations.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Tom Lee, R-Brandon, particularly urged a tougher approach, saying Detert may be trying "to cut a deal too early" in the legislative process, scheduled to run into early May.
Lee, whose committee will also review the bill, suggested lawmakers could make the texting ban as well as other distracted driving practices part of the existing law that prohibits careless driving — which would increase the fine and make it primary offense.
Lee said by keeping the ban as a secondary offense "you haven't done anything."
"Unless I'm doing something else wrong, I can text all day long and you can't stop me," Lee said.
Besides trying craft a bill that could win support in the House, Detert said passing any kind of ban would send a strong signal against the practice to Floridians, particularly younger drivers.
"I think having a law on the books would go a long way toward accomplishing that goal," Detert said.
Several groups, including AAA and AutoNation, supported the bill.
"Sure lots of laws are hard to enforce, but try and tell that to some parent who has lost a child," said Lee Moffitt, a former House speaker who is lobbying for those groups. "Florida needs to declare loudly and clearly that is unacceptable behavior."
Detert's bill must clear two more committee before reaching the Senate floor — the Communications, Energy and Public Utilities and Judiciary committees.
A similar bill (HB 13) is pending in the House, although an initial hearing has yet to be scheduled. It has been referred to three House committees.

Today's Music: The Whigs – Waiting
Why hello there. Welcome to Friday. Hope you all had a good trip. My days this week were at turns productive, frustrating and filled with ennui. Fortunately, there were some plenty of blog posts to keep me company on the way. Here's some of what I read…
Rollergiraffe told a great story about how her extended family deals with Autism. DHonour wrote a beautiful piece to about her second son on his Sixth Birthday, and KBerrios explained Expressing Yourself to a young boy.
Great stuff all around, from them and everyone else!
Last week, the polls were a'flutter with the question "what do you do with your extra stuff"? And judging from your answers, you've hoarded a lot of thoughts on this topic. Here's what you said. (As always, my comments are a messy pile of italics.)
A charity dedicated to helping stars of the show Hoarders – Curvyroads
(Maybe it can be administered by U-Haul?)
My hips, apparently. That's gotta be why they tripled in size. (Miz Yank)
(My hips don't lie. They would honestly like another slice of pizza.)
Maybe be like grandparents. Hoard until dead and let others deal. Quirky
(It's all those meals you wouldn't let them feed you…)
A company that will recycle it into Hawaiian shirts!! Polysyllabic Profundities
The attic. And I don't have to deal with it until all falls through the ceiling.
(I hope you didn't just jinx it…)
…"all falls through the ceiling." (List of X)
(Should have hoarded some load-bearing beams….)
flea market – cha-ching! (Stacy)
(Careful – fleas are renowned for their haggling.)
The Human Fund. The Sailor's Woman
(If you give them even a scrap, they'll follow you around forever.)
There's a hidden vortex on my lawn. I put my stuff out, and it's gone by noon.
(You've been dumping freezing cold in that vortex, haven't you.)
(I can tell you where it's been going.)
Using it to hide from zombies sounds good. At last a reason! Elyse 54.5
(If you make the zombies dig through that stuff, it'll cost you an arm and a leg.)
To needy sexy people!
(But I don't want it!!!)
Extra???I have nothing as EXTRA!(Although my mom seems to disagree)Life Confusions
(Oh, Mama Confusions, where did you go wrong???)
ME of course, who else? Puft! Life Confusions
(I'm not sure you understood the question…)
nobody. I hoard, hoard, hoard. jaklumen
(Maybe donate it, to the lord, lord, lord?)
(Or throw it in the river, near the fjord, fjord, fjord!)
It joins the missing socks from the laundry-(Zoe)
(Why are you stashing your stuff in the washing machine???)
Zoe-I eat some,pack some, wear some,sleep in some,mow the lawn,bbq,clean up poop
(Wow, that's versatile! Is all your stuff a Swiss Army Knife?)
Let's trade. You take mine. I'll take yours. –Penny Lane Seriously
(UPS (United Psychology Service) wants hazard pay to transport my stuff.)
my hips, where else? Benzeknees
(I really don't think there's a safe way for me to reply to this…)
You spelled stuph wrong… Twindaddy
(Sorry – my speak n spell was buried under the old betamax tapes.)
The dumpster my husband keeps threatening/promising to rent. Susie Lindau
(Mine are only used for the bodies…)
that depends on what your definition of "extra" is. thematticuskingdom
(I DID NOT HAVE RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN!!! Sorry, what was the question?)
my local black hole: the attic. thematticuskingdom
(Your attic is Congress???)
flowers, long time passing. thematticuskingdom
(Sounds like you've sown the seeds of discontent.)
I don't have extra stuff, or much stuff at all. Send it my way!
(What, and ruin your Zen groove?)
Uranus….or someone's anus – Rutabaga
(Is that storage charged by weight or volume?)
… the previous polls muffin (Frank)
(At this point, it's probably a crouton.)
Congratulations to Polysyllabic Profundities for this weeks winning answer, and thinking outside the (storage) box! And from the offered choices, the most popular was NOWHERE! IT'S MINE, DO YOU HEAR ME?!?! MINE!!!!!!, so congrats to all of you who really need to cut down on the caffeine.
This week, the unbridled polling collective stands in solidarity with Alice At Wonderland in her battle against the forces of Big GIF. Beknownst to all, Alice is a huge TLC Reality Show addict – Sex Sent Me To The ER, My Crazy Obsession, Untold Stories of the ER. But sometimes it's not enough.
So this time around, we're asking what the next great reality show should be.
Answer often, but answer soon, because this one closes at 2359 EDT on Tuesday, 8 April. Try and keep yourself to three Other answers if you do write-ins, and if you do leave an Other, add a way to recognize you at the end, and I'll link back to you next week.
And until next time, enjoy something bizarrely awkward.
Have a great week, y'all!

The Situation of Constitutional Beliefs – Abstract
Posted by The Situationist Staff on September 7, 2008
Joshua Furgeson, Linda Babcock, and Peter Shane have a new article that will be of interest to many readers of the Situationist: "Do a Law's Policy Implications Affect Beliefs About Its Constitutionality? An Experimental Test," 32 Law Hum. Behav. 219 (2008). Here's the abstract.
* * *
Although a substantial empirical literature has found associations between judges' political orientation and their judicial decisions, the nature of the relationship between policy preferences and constitutional reasoning remains unclear. In this experimental study, law students were asked to determine the constitutionality of a hypothetical law, where the policy implications of the law were manipulated while holding all legal evidence constant. The data indicate that, even with an incentive to select the ruling best supported by the legal evidence, liberal participants were more likely to overturn laws that decreased taxes than laws that increased taxes. The opposite pattern held for conservatives. The experimental manipulation significantly affected even those participants who believed their policy preferences had no influence on their constitutional decisions.

Well, you, the guy who pushes his life around in a stolen trolley and the proverbial carrier bag being whipped up in a gnarly wind and scuttling across the car park, dancing and weaving… sorry, got carried away then. 😉
Anyho' just stopped by to let you know that there was some free love being shared this weekend.
Yup, you can get the US/American edition of Sugar & Spice, here for nothing. Zip. Nada. Zilcho. For this weekend only. (unless you happen to be an Amazon Prime member, in which case, you can borrow it FREE, any time!)
And here (if you're on dotcom)
Cool huh?
Have a great weekend!

A very sweet post! For some reason I am surprised you two are teachers. I guess because you have so many wonderful collections I assumed you were antique dealers!

what a cute post. Love all the apples you all collect. I see so many being sold at garage sales and whenever I ask, they say I am a teacher. So thats where most of the gifts we give teachers end up. LOL.
Teachers really have it tough now. Children are out of control and parents expect the teachers to be the disciplinaries for them. How sad. I had great teachers and I wish now I could see them all and hug them. I only had one through out my school year that I could not stand, but nobody could. But my memories of my teachers were all good. Loved them all.

Beautiful Patti,
Oh my precious one, you are in a profession that is WORTHY of skilled and tenacious people that will do anything to make sure the kids are getting what they need. I lasted for nine years and it is time for me to do something else, for I do not have that extra sparkle that one needs to go the extra miles to learn all the new and overwhelming things! But what an honor it has been to be a part of educating the kids that came my way.
THANK YOU for your kind and lovely comment tonight. One day, ONE DAY, I will see HER again. And yes, we have only a life time to love but eternity to LIVE LOVE..what a thought. BE WELL! Anita

Just as it has been since Windows 95 was ascendant and dinosaurs roamed the earth, Internet Explorer is the dominant web browser in desktop computer use. But even though there seem to be hundreds of millions of users running it on desktops and notebooks, Internet Explorer gets no respect from the Web developer community, and it often gets second-rate support among desktop browsers.
On mobile devices IE is no doubt growing as a share of the total, but still a very small player. The intelligent mobile Web developer focuses on getting his or her web site to look good in the dominant mobile browsers Safari, the (pre-4.0) Android Browser, and Google Chrome all of which are based on the WebKit layout engine. This means that Windows Phone and Windows 8 users often run into web site problems in IE 10. Windows 8 users can at least install a different browser, but Windows RT and Windows Phone users have only Internet Explorer.
As Microsoft MVP Bill Reiss argues, this is bad for Microsoft's users. He thinks it's time for Microsoft to throw in the towel on their own layout engine, known as Trident and implemented on desktop Windows in the MSHTML.DLL program file, and switch to WebKit.
This is really a fascinating proposal. There are plenty of very good reasons to do it. There are also plenty of reasons not to. On the whole, I have to decide against the move, but it's not an easy decision. Caving in to the WebKit juggernaut would reduce a lot of friction that makes life difficult for Windows developers and users. It might even inspire many developers who now shun Windows 8 and Windows Phone to support those platforms, since it would be much less work to do so.
And for all the progress that Microsoft has made with IE, there are some areas where it really lags, with HTML5 compliance at the top of the list. Tests just now at html5test.com give me these results all out of a total of 500 points, higher being better):
|Internet Explorer 9 (Windows 7)
|Internet Explorer 10 (Windows 8 and Windows Phone)
|Safari 6.0.2 (OS X 10.7)
|Firefox 18 (OS X 10.7)
|Chrome 23.0.1271.97 m (Windows 8)
So IE10 is a huge improvement on IE9, but it's still clearly at the rear of the pack, and Chrome makes it look really bad.
So why not make the switch? I'm a security guy, and security problems often are the first thing to come to mind for me. Most people still don't appreciate it, but IE is probably the most secure browser available, and has been for some time. If you follow vulnerability reports you'll see that WebKit has a high volume of them, and they are fixed on very different schedules in the various WebKit products. Microsoft can fix the much smaller number of security problems in IE on their schedule. By joining in with the WebKit consortium, Microsoft loses some control over the schedule for such fixes.
Microsoft would also lose control over feature decisions, some of which involve security. Consider WebGL, an open standard for high-speed graphics in browsers, supported by all the major browsers, except Internet Explorer. Microsoft has decided that WebGL is inherently unsecurable and it won't be in any of their browsers. If they move to WebKit, they don't get to make decisions like this.
Reiss doesn't say whether he's speaking only about mobile browsers or also about the desktop, but it's a point worth exploring. Many, many corporate developers write web code with Internet Explorer as their development target. Messing things up for them would be a bad thing. But Microsoft can't decide to make the changes only for mobile, because it's central to Microsoft's marketing that the tablet market is really just part of the PC market.
There could be a middle ground I suppose. Microsoft could provide two browsers, or allow the user (or maybe even the web site) to switch engines. But it's just not something they would do. It's too complicated and they still get all the downsides of WebKit.
Finally, as Reiss himself points out, it's often not a good thing to have one dominant standard. He cites Daniel Glazman, the co-chairman of the W3C's CSS standards working group, who is concerned about the tendency of so many mobile developers to target WebKit rather than standards. WebKit has many features that go beyond standards and many sites rely on them.
If the WebKit-only phenomenon is unstoppable, then the only practical way to deal with it may be to cry "Uncle!" and switch to WebKit. I don't think things have gotten that bad. Microsoft needs to keep features in IE/Trident developing to keep up with WebKit and then, if Microsoft can produce the market share to justify it, developers will support IE. Probably.
It's not a clear decision. What do you think? Please argue in the comment section below.

When using the Baby Hooded Towel to dry, a patting motion is recommended.

Today in the news: Woman says she is second Te'o hoax victim
Hot video: Woman whose pictures were used in Te'o hoax speaks out
News to Know
After Tuesday's elections, Benjamin Netanyahu has been re-elected prime minister of Israel, CNN reports. Netanyahu announced his top priorities for this term this morning, which included affordable housing and revamping the "ineffective" government. This came as a shock to many, as these views are more Centrist than the views of Netanyahu's right-leading political party.
Quote of note
"The fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest? Or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, senator." - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to Sen. Ron Johnson, after being asked about comments made by Susan Rice on the cause of the Sept. 11 Benghazi attack. The Associated Press reports that Clinton defended Rice, and described Clinton's demeanor as "emotional and fierce" at times.

Be positive in everything you do! -Allan Rufus
คิดบวกในทุกสิ่งที่คุณ – Allan Rufus
"The Masters Sacred Knowledge is a must read for anyone that is genuinely seeking real, lasting and quantifiable "change" in their personal lives. True, there may already an abundance of self help books out there at the moment. But rarely have I read one as insightful or plainly written as the "Master's Sacred Knowledge". Not only is it a great introduction to some of the core principles of spirituality and living a simpler, better life, it's very words seems to speak to a deeper part of "self" that needs to be nurtured and cared for. A real gem of a book and one that I am sure to read over and over! I'm glad it found its way to me." Charles Anthony McFaulds
"THE MASTERS SACRED KNOWLEDGE – is a very rare book that deals with the positive hidden elements in a person. Today we are all surrounded by worries, trouble & negative forces. This is a book that gives us an insight to counter these forces that tend to slow down /destroy our development in this fast changing world.
I would recommend this book to all who want to excel in life & face this world very bravely. This is a book MUST for all those who have lost all hope in life.
This book gives us the key to open our inner energies & win over the world."
"We live together in this life, along this amazing journey to learn, to grow and to love. And every now and then, we come across some inspiration, an epiphany that alters the path ever so slightly but makes sure we learn what we need to learn. Along this journey we also have choice. This God-given gift is so precious.
There comes a time in life when we realise that life is not only about making money and driving a nice car. Yes, we need to live because nothing is free, but we can achieve the same material goals with God in mind all the time… we can dedicate everything to that Supreme Infinite and then life becomes blissful. It is at this time when we seek spiritual guidance. It is known and has been said that 'when the student is ready, the teacher appears.'
The Master's Sacred Knowledge, by Allan Rufus, is one such teacher. This is indeed a 'key to your inner treasure.' The text itself flows well, is very easy to understand and offers practical daily advice. Allan is indeed an honest and sincere spiritual individual – truly noted by his courage to publish such a book. What I love about this style is that you can read from cover to cover, or simply ask yourself a question and flip the book open – read the chapter and use it as your inspiration for the day. Take it, with an open heart, and enjoy it!"

I decided to continue on after a year, because this document had become a treasured reflective spot in my life. There are some changes in "Year 2," expanding options for my weekly poem beyond sonnet to add some other forms-- rondeau or triolet, villanelle. I added the decima in late January 2010, and the pantoum in August. Definitions of each form appear below. I continue to post a photo daily, but may post several pictures taken on one day over the course of a week if I have an interesting series. I may even post an old photo if I'm writing about something I'm thinking back to. I'll continue to have fun with this project; I hope you will too. For Year 3 I tried including other people in the self-portraits that accompany my poems, adding "Musical Sundays" to post mp3s of my music, but these petered out in a few months. This is simply a place for my daily thoughts & photos, and weekly poems in the forms I love. Onward...!
