First Online: 23 December 2011Received: 12 February 2011Accepted: 23 December 2011

In this article, we propose a multiple-input-multiple-output, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, code-division multiple-access MIMO OFDM-CDMA scheme. The main objective is to provide extra flexibility in user multiplexing and data rate adaptation, that offer higher system throughput and better diversity gains. This is done by spreading on all the signal domains; i.e, space-time frequency spreading is employed to transmit users- signals. The flexibility to spread on all three domains allows us to independently spread users- data, to maintain increased system throughput and to have higher diversity gains. We derive new accurate approximations for the probability of symbol error and signal-to-interference noise ratio SINR for zero forcing ZF receiver. This study and simulation results show that MIMO OFDM-CDMA is capable of achieving diversity gains significantly larger than that of the conventional 2-D CDMA OFDM and MIMO MC CDMA schemes.

Helping Others

…When helping others, we recommend the respect of certain lines. Their purpose is to ensure that the individual who offers or receives assistance realises that any aid is, in the final outcome, at the same time also an intervention into the actions of another individual, whatever the aid may consist of. It may be a service, a material or financial gift, generally any information in the form of advice, opinion, etc. during the resolution of a spiritual problem (e.g. ”Should I or should I not tell him?”), also a bodily activity (e.g. assisting a wheelchair-bound person). An individual provides aid to another without expecting any reward, including self-promotion. He does not do it for the benefit that he may derive from it, he does not expect any reward, he lays no claim to it.

From a systemic viewpoint, no form of loan exists in the Universe, because it represents a source of subsequent conflict between people and an instrument for controlling them— there is enough of everything everywhere for everybody, it depends only on our cognition as to how we deal with it. In this connection, a reciprocal service both for assistance and in general, is exclusively a matter for the other person, but it is not his/her obligation. Moreover, it is valid that a reciprocal service is accepted up to the level of a gift. Therefore, if an individual accepts a reciprocal service for assistance provided, which as a whole or in part is not his Essential Personal Need (see above Not Injuring Others or Oneself), he will offer it as a whole, or in its respective part, to somebody who, in his opinion, needs it or who asks for it. Alternatively, he will use it for the benefit of others. Of course, he need not do this immediately, but can wait for an appropriate occasion. It is also correct to check whether the other individual has really asked for aid, and that it was not just a statement. For example, the words: ”My husband is a brute!” might not mean that the person who pronounced these words is asking for help in solving this problem.

If an individual is unsure whether he has received a request for aid or not, and nevertheless provides the aid, this goodwill can turn against him. However, the above-mentioned situation may occur even in the case of an entirely clearly presented request for help. A typical example, unfortunately, is domestic violence. It often happens that a third person intervenes in a dispute between husband and wife, with good intentions and at the explicit request of one of them. It is not uncommon that this assistance turns against the helper in an instant. In these cases, and not only in these, it is good to take into account that aid to another person can have a negative impact on the provider of the aid. The individual should make sure that he/she is ready to bear the possibly pleasant as well as unpleasant impact of the assistance in the form of, for example, spending a certain financial amount or enduring later reproach.

Helping others can conceal one more problem. It is effective if it does not become a crutch for the other person, without which he/she is unable to continue resolving a given situation independently or which he/she will start taking for granted. It is valid even here that too much of something has negative effects. In conclusion, we repeat that any aid is an intervention into the lide of another and it is the exclusive right of each individual to dispense it at his/her own discretion, including the assessment thereof…

Charlie’s Death Wish

Title: Charlie’s Death Wish (2005)
Rating: 3.5/5
Genre: Action
Starring: Phoebe Dollar, Ron Jeremy, Randal Malone
Director: Jeff Leroy

After her sister was murdered by thugs in a jail cell, gun saleswoman Charlie (Phoebe Dollar) spends every waking moment investigating the culprits and plotting her violent revenge. What turns out behind her sister’s murder is a large criminal organization led by a drug lord (Randal Malone) that has Hollywood in the palm of his hand. Left to deal with all this mayhem is good cop Rosenberg (Ron Jeremy), who is sympathetic to Charlie’s vendetta but isn’t exactly crooked enough to allow her a pardon. If that wasn’t enough, an eccentric documentary filmmaker does his best to expose the corruption of the LAPD and the 2nd Amendment as he incidentally gets himself in the middle of what he dubs the “Deadly Dixie Chick Killer” murders. These characters and events all lead to nothing but action and carnage… and there can only be one winner.

Before I start raving about this little flick, let me tackle the unbelievably cool cast. This film is the brainchild of writer/producer/actress Phoebe Dollar (my personally favorite scream queen) and writer/director Jeff Leroy. Not only being viciously independent filmmakers, these two have a long and continuously developing history together with collaborations including the shot-on-video classic Hell’s Highway, Alien 3000, and Werewolf in a Women’s Prison, to name but a few. Also on the roster is legendary adult film star Ron Jeremy, who is no stranger to low-budget, non-adult films (Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV, Andre the Butcher, Slaughter Party). To up the ante for underground credibility is the involvement of Randal Malone who’s credits also include Evil in the Bayou, The Curse of Lizzie Borden, and this year’s (2011) epic showdown Dahmer Vs. Gacy. If you haven’t already passed out from all this awesomeness, prepare yourself for special appearances by Guns ‘N Roses’ Dizzy Reed, LA Guns’ Tracii Guns, and Motorhead frontman Lemmy. Yes, you read correctly, LEMMY!

With that out of the way, let me just say that I have always been a huge fan of low- to no-budget horror films. I love the spirit and the ingenuity that are always passionately put into these movies. But I never once conceived that this same DIY passion could be generalized to action movies. Charlie’s Death Wish completely blew me away. It’s got gory gunfights, car chases, and priceless humor; but what really sets this movie apart from others that share such a low budget, and what really got me cheering at my screen, were the exploding miniatures. I mean, c’mon. When was the last time anyone saw miniatures put to such good use recently in B-movies? Director Leroy has a knack for these things, and there is no better way to get action fans going than with explosions. However, fans of Dollar’s and Leroy’s horror stuff are not left in the dust, as this movie provides an ample supply of red goo from start to finish.

Charlie’s Death Wish also has some very creative elements that are a bit more subtle. For instance, set design isn’t particularly something B-filmmakers are altogether concerned with (unless you count bloodied walls and cobwebs); but the interiors of the drug lord’s mansion are impressively dressed, though not entirely convincing (this IS a small-time flick, after all). And along with the violence, the soundtrack gives this movie a jolt of energy, including the haunting and tastefully used Charles Manson ballad “Look at Your Game Girl” that definitely compliments the mood of CDW. The no-so-well-known supporting cast does a decent job of filling out the rest of the characters, and the story itself is engaging and exciting.

Charlie’s Death Wish is a criminally underrated and little seen B-movie that literally gives a big “fuck you” to the Hollywood film industry. If you don’t mind films that operate on low production value, CDW may just be a cult nerd’s “wish” come true.

It’s In Your Court: No mulligans in criminal court

Judge Steve Halsey

If you are a golfer you may have more than once announced to your playing partners, “I’m taking a mulligan” when you had a bad shot. We all have desires for “do-overs” when we mess up in life. A “mulligan” is a do-over in golf even though not allowed in the rules and permitted only among friends. But are there “mulligans” in criminal court? Put another way, can the court grant forgiveness to someone who commits a crime, even a minor offense? Can the court “wipe the slate clean?”

As to the trial court, my answers are “no.” This may sound harsh and unsympathetic, but I answer those questions in the negative based upon my interpretation of “equal justice” and the law. Judges have no power to dismiss a criminal offense based upon the circumstances of the defendant, whether they say they are sorry and it will never happen again, or whether they are a single parent or had rough childhood or are in a protected class, such as elderly, a veteran, or disabled.

A person convicted of a crime faces consequences dictated by the court, though there usually is a broad spectrum of what those consequences may be. Only the Board of Pardons, or the trial court in very limited circumstances by expungement, can erase a person’s criminal record. The articles about forgiveness in court generally discuss alternative sentencing, such as probation with chemical dependency treatment and other consequences other than simply incarceration. I agree that alternative sentencing dispositions are often appropriate, particularly for first offenders, but that is a topic for another time.

Judges also cannot provide forgiveness — on behalf of society — to a criminal defendant. Forgiveness, in my view, is a matter between individuals. In Hennepin County District Court in March 2012 as reported by the Star Tribune, a 76-year-old woman who was the victim of a car theft confronted the juvenile offender.

The woman said, “When we forgive, we don’t deny the hurt that we have received. We don’t deny that it was wrong, but we acknowledge there is more to the offender than the offense.”

She talked about being a foster mom for about 50 kids, many of them who had been abused and neglected, and how much she empathized with the young man standing before her in court.

“I would like [the teen] to know that I pray for him and the other two [boys who were with him] daily, and that it is not too late for them,” she said. “I would also like these boys to think of their own families. Would they want their families to experience what I have?”

The woman added, “Again, please let [the boy] know that I sincerely care about him, and I am praying for his redirection and rehabilitation. A good life awaits him, if he will just choose a new path. God bless.”

“The hurt, I never thought of that,” said the teen. “I’m really sorry. I regret this decision. I’m sorry for all of the hurt that I caused you.”

The judge, known to be stern and no-nonsense, finally spoke from the bench.

“I think many of us have been doing this work for a very, very long time, and I have never seen such a powerful moment in my career,” the judge said. “The [teen’s] recognition that you had an impact on somebody, that this is not an anonymous hurt, this is a personal hurt. It just so happened that you by chance chose as a victim somebody who can change your life.”

The judge added, “It was the genuine concern and love for this kid who stole her car that blew us all away. It was a miracle.”

So the next time you are stopped for speeding or some other traffic offense, consider carefully the consequences before you ask the officer for a mulligan.

Each of Us Has a Place in the New Civil Rights Movement

Martin Luther King Jr. was fearless in calling attention to the persistent disconnect between our nation’s highest ideals and the stark reality for Black Americans. His forceful voice chastised the powerful and championed the powerless.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” – Dr. King

Dr. King and the activists of the Civil Rights Movement inspired Americans to do more than dream of equal opportunity. Their righteous anger, unyielding voices, and moral authority became a demand – a demand that was impossible to ignore. Momentum for change grew with every sit-in, rally, and march. The movement gathered strength in spite of, and often because of, the intimidation and violent tactics that challenged it.

The movement was about equal rights in the voting place, on the job, in the school – in all places and all civic institutions. It was about being granted full citizenship regardless of gender, race, nationality, or cultural background.109844_Martin Luther King2

“Somewhere I read that the greatness of America was the right to protest for rights.” – Dr. King

The achievements and aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement were not the work of one man. Yet, the celebration of Martin Luther King Day gives us the opportunity to appreciate the life of a great leader who was a “drum major for justice,” and to acknowledge that each of us has a place in the new Civil Rights Movement.

Now, there are some who wonder why we need a movement for justice and opportunity today. They become defensive and testy when they hear talk of the escalating wealth of the ultra-rich, the stubborn poverty in many urban centers and rural areas, the lack of classroom resources for students who live on the wrong side of town.

They don’t necessarily deny these problems; they either attribute them to the lack of individual effort, or they simply don’t think they are the defining issues of our time. They believe we are dissing American exceptionalism when we point out that although we’ve climbed many mountains, others remain in our path.

But I believe, as Dr. King did, that the true measure of one’s love of country is the willingness to look honestly at what we must do, roll up our sleeves, take a deep breath, and get to it.

It’s in that spirit that educators came together across the nation to support the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), envisioning it as a new frontier in the march toward social justice and equal opportunity. Education is a civil right.

On December 10, I was at the White House when President Obama signed the ESSA. He echoed Dr. King’s philosophy when he said, “There’s nothing more essential to living up to the ideals of this nation than making sure every child is able to achieve their God-given potential.”

But the most moving words that day may have come from Antonio Martin, an 8th-grader at Kenmore Middle School in Alexandria, Va. who wants to be an engineer someday.

Antonio had the privilege of introducing the president. Before he did, he talked a little about Kenmore. “I love science and math and my teachers have enriched my love of learning,” Antonio said. “I have the option of being in drama and orchestra. …Art is integrated into all subjects. In my world geography class, we integrate color to help emphasize important ideas. …The minds of the future are in school with me, and the future will blossom from our minds.”

I am so proud of Antonio and I’m thrilled that he and his classmates are getting the kind of rich experience that will prepare them well for whatever is ahead. Antonio, I’m sure, will become an engineer or whatever he chooses to be.You and I must be the activists in a new movement for public education. In Dr. King’s memory and for our nation’s future, we must demand the best for our students.

I want more of our nation’s students to have what Antonio has. But in America, your ZIP code often determines the quality of your education. An article in NEA Today, “The Rising Toll of Inequitable School Funding,” points out that the way we fund public schools does not “reflect the idea that a K-12 education should give all children an equal shot at being college and career ready.”

An Education Trust report found that our nation’s highest-poverty school districts receive $1,200 less per student on average than districts with the lowest poverty. And districts with the largest number of students of color receive about $2,000 less per student than districts with the fewest.

What are we telling these students? We are saying: We don’t believe they are the “minds of the future.” We don’t expect much of them. They are not precious enough to merit our investment.

We are telling them that, despite the sacrifices and achievements for which we celebrate Dr. King, they are not worthy of our best.

All our students are precious. Our top priority as educators must be doing whatever is necessary to ensure that regardless of where they live, they all have caring, committed teachers and a rich, challenging educational experience. You and I must be the activists in a new movement for public education. In Dr. King’s memory and for our nation’s future, we must demand the best for our students. They deserve it.

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” – Dr. King

  1. Andy Goldstein

    “The bus debacle as a description of how our District operates on an every day basis.” A talk given by Andy Goldstein to the School Board of Palm Beach County, FL. February 17, 2018.

    Good evening. My name is Andy Goldstein. I’m a teacher at Omni Middle School and the proud parent of a seven-year-old daughter who attends second grade at one of our public elementary schools.

    I read with great interest the article by Palm Beach Post reporter Andrew Marra titled “Collision course: Inside Palm Beach County’s school bus crisis.” The article detailed our school district’s bus debacle at the beginning of this year, in which a rushed implementation of a new technology program for bus routes resulted in many of our students being late for classes and many of our disabled students not being picked up at all.

    As I started to read the article, I thought to myself, “Surely this is an aberration, a one time-event.” But as I read on about how the collective experience of our own bus drivers was ignored in favor of a rushed policy to implement computer-generated bus routes that made no sense, apparently to please a higher authority, I started thinking, “This is a very accurate description of how our school district functions on an every day basis.”

    There is always someone or some higher policy that is pointed to as the reason we are doing things in the classroom, regardless of whether they make sense. And many times they do not make sense. The judgment of our own teachers, is not even in the equation. We teachers have been deluged with a plethora of nonsensical policies flowing through our classrooms, and we and our students have suffered.

    John King, the acting Secretary of Education, recently in his first major speech, apologized to the nation’s teachers. saying “teachers and principals at times have felt attacked and unfairly blamed for the challenges our nation faces.”

    But it hasn’t been “at times,” it’s been continuous, as part of an agenda to privatize our schools and make as much money off of our children as possible.

    And a recent article in the New Yorker was titled, “Stop Humiliating Teachers.”

    And we, and our students have been subject to much humiliation. A year-round standardized testing schedule and diagnostic schedule that has cheated our children of authentic learning opportunities. The important thing, apparently is not to have an opportunity to teach and learn but to test. It doesn’t even matter if the tests make sense. as long as they are given. And some times, they don’t make any sense.

    I’ve started going around asking teachers an open ended question: “Do you find the diagnostic testing helpful.” So far no teacher I have asked has said that they find it helpful.

    Our school district is obsessed with policies that don’t help our kids learn.

    For example:

    • The “We’re building the plane while we’re flying it Marzano teacher evaluation system.”
    • Teachers stripped of their Step increments and relegated to a career at or near a beginning teacher salary.
    • Teachers put on relegated to an annual contract which disempowers them, strips their educator’s voice to stand for what’s right.
    • Students subject to dry test prep instead of authentic project based learning, cheating them of the joy of falling in love with the process of learning.

    Our school district says, “Blame Tallahassee for these policies!”

    Our principals say the nonsensical directives come from School District headquarters.

    In our school district, there is always someone pointing to a higher authority as to why we are implementing nonsensical policies.

    And our teachers strive to create an environment of teaching and learning despite the constant disruption of these nonsensical policies.

    This evening, at your Board workshop, you discussed involving stakeholders in striving to achieve the goal of having all of our children read at grade level by third grade. I was very inspired.

    Perhaps you could include our teachers among the stakeholders to achieve this goal, instead of leaving us out of the equation, as is usually the case.

    Thank you.

  2. Jan Chamberlin

    I want to sign whatever petitions, write letters etc, if you will tell me what to do. I’m kind of new to the issues and the blog lingo, though I care and want to comprehend things better. I’ve always questioned the no child left behind thing. I want to know what my role should be in helping.

    Thank you,

Favorite Things Friday- Lake Tahoe

With the mercury rising here in Lincoln, sitting on a sandy shoreline and a dip in the cool water is starting to sound pretty good. Lucky for us in Lincoln, beautiful Lake Tahoe is only a quick drive up the hill. With plenty of beaches and restaurants to chose from, a day trip to Tahoe is a great way to beat the heat.

Whenever we visit Tahoe, we are sure to stop at the kid’s favorite ice cream shop. Located in Incline Village on the North Shore, Susie Scoops is a must visit for a large assortment of locally made ice creams with a delicious flavor to suit any taste. Make sure to grab one of their homemade dipped waffle cones and enjoy some sun on the patio!

From there, there are always lots of options when it comes to enjoying time by the crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe. Kings beach is a great option, but it can fill up quickly, so be sure to stake out a spot earlier in the day. Perfect for the family looking for a little more excitement at their day at the beach, Kings beach is a hot spot to rent paddle boards or enjoy parasailing or other activities on the water.

North Tahoe beach is another option and is great because of it’s nearby lots of places to grab a quick bite before heading out and the Safeway across the street. We like to stop by and fill up the cooler before we settle in for some time on the sand.

One of my favorite beaches in Tahoe is Sand Harbor beach. The views here are some of the best in the area, and beautiful rock formations and calm water make for a breathtaking spot to kick back and relax.

After a day in the sun, our favorite restaurant to visit is Rosie’s Cafe in Tahoe City. With lots of options, this local spot for homestyle cooking is sure to have something for everyone. Nothing hits the spot quite like one of their burgers!

One of my favorite things about living in Lincoln is the proximity to so many great places. There’s no need to spend too much time in the car or hop on a plane to get away. If you’re looking to get away there are so many great options for day trips this summer- I’d recommend a visit to Lake Tahoe be one of them!

Location, Location, Location!

With all the new innovations out there, there are so many ways to market your home. Whether it’s the more classic route or online, I try and get the best of both worlds. When it comes to getting your home out there, I’m always looking for the best avenues for maximum exposure as well as targeted marketing. With this in mind, I decided to try something new for some of my listings.
The area around these homes is really something that makes them special, so I jumped at the chance to have some drone videography taken. I thought that this would be a perfect way to not only highlight the home itself, but also the beautiful surrounding areas. For the home at 5181 Monteverde Drive, the rolling hills, scenic walking trails and praised Catta Verdera golf course, not to mention the breathtaking sunsets are major reasons why this is such a gorgeous and desirable area to live. At 2200 South Lakewood Drive, the peaceful and serene setting, nestled among the pine and oak trees makes for the perfect hideaway near the lake in Meadow Vista.

Firefighters and Hockey-Favorite things Friday in Lincoln, CA

carter-1Last season I had a chance to play with the Sac Fire hockey team. Obviously, I’m not a firefighter and with my Boy Scout background, I’m probably a little bit better at starting fires than putting them out! Our Firefighters in this area are a great group of hard working guys and they play a good brand of no-nonsense hockey. My son and I enjoy playing with them. One of our goaltenders had his mask painted by an artist in Canada and it is sweet! It shows our California flag on one side, a rendering of his Engine at a large fire that made the front page a few years ago and the Cal Fire and Sac Fire logos on the back. Pretty cool Carter! We are all appreciative of the hard work and risks that they take to keep us safe. Thanks! Being able to play a game I love with my son and these great guys is one of my favorite things.

Snow Days in California

Growing up in Canada, I’ve had my fair share of time in the snow. While I don’t miss shoveling sidewalks or scraping ice off my windshield,  I sometimes miss the activities that come with snow. Luckily, Lincoln is nestled in the perfect location. We are just a short drive from the mountains, so you can go enjoy the white stuff without any of the chores. With the recent snowfall, I wanted to highlight some of my favorite things to do in the mountains not too far from Lincoln during the Winter season.

Boreal Resort is just a little over an hour up the road and has something for everyone. Along with offering frequent deals on lift passes, they also have ski and snowboard lessons with affordable rentals. They also have tubing runs with a moving carpet, and a play area for the kids.

My Son loves to snowboard so this is his go-to place.

There are also many parks in the area perfect for sledding or relaxing in the snow. Soda Springs Resort, Northstar at Tahoe, Donner, Cisco Grove, just to name a few..

We like to go to Cisco Grove and bring along a camp stove and some hot chocolate for a fun afternoon outdoors. If you’re looking for an adventure, permits are also available for snow camping. Have you ever been snow camping? Made snow caves? Now that’s an adventure I highly recommend.

Screen Shot 2016-02-05 at 12.28.25 PM

Unfortunately we have had a couple years where we didn’t get much snow in California. This year we are finally seeing some good white stuff, so be sure to get out there and take advantage! IMG_0169

3 Reasons You Should Consider Lasik

Many people grow tired of wearing vision correction for any number of reasons. If you are ready to explore other options to correct your vision, Lasik might be the right choice for your needs.

Occupational/Lifestyle Safety

Many people perform job functions that are not conducive to wearing eyeglasses. For example, working as a first responder or in corrections can mean you might experience a physical altercation. It is possible for eyeglasses to become damaged or fall off during the altercation, which would become a safety hazard. Although contacts are generally preferred, there are still situations where they cannot be worn or might not be ideal. If you work around chemicals, you cannot safely wear contacts. Additionally, as a contact lens wearer, you may have experienced situations where a lens might pop out without warning. Not only is this an inconvenience, it could be dangerous, especially if you are driving. The ability to avoid using eyeglasses or contacts can make it easier to perform any number of occupational or lifestyle tasks without a second thought.

One of the major motivating factors for people who consider Lasik is the cost when compared with wearing vision correction. Of course, the upfront costs associated with Lasik will be more than you would pay for vision correction. If the procedure is not covered by insurance, some ophthalmologists might offer payment plans through their office or well-known credit companies to help make the costs more affordable. When you consider yearly or more visits to the optometrist, which are generally more expensive if you need a contact lens prescription, combined with your vision correction, it is easy to see why the long-term savings can be attractive.

People who need stronger prescriptions generally find their costs for eyeglasses or contacts rises quickly. For example, many eyeglass stores promote low prices for one or more pairs of eyeglasses, but these are typically for people who do not need significant vision correction. To have lightweight frames and avoid thick lenses, you generally have to pay more if you have a stronger prescription.

You Can Accept Less Than Perfect Vision

When you have Lasik, the goal is for you to have perfect vision, but there is always the risk that your vision might improve, but still need correction. This is something you will need to consider before making the commitment. You should also discuss the possibility with your ophthalmologist before agreeing to the procedure. Some people, especially those who require stronger prescriptions may be more than happy even if they still need to wear eyeglasses occasionally or are able to purchase less expensive contact lenses. You should also be aware that having Lasik now does not guarantee your vision will not change in the future, especially as you reach your senior years. It is common to have changes in visual acuity as you age, regardless of any corrective surgery.

Lasik is a popular vision procedure that can help liberate many people from eyeglasses and contacts. Having realistic expectations about the procedure and long-term benefits will improve your satisfaction with the outcome.

About Me

Choosing the Right Glasses for Your Lifestyle

While my sister wore glasses while we were growing up, I had 20/20 vision until I was in college. One day, I was in class and realized that I couldn't see a paper that the professor was holding up in front of the class as clearly as the other students. I had a vision exam and was told I would have to start wearing eyeglasses. I played on the college volleyball team, so I was very worried that my glasses would fall off while I was playing! My optometrist told me that prescription sports goggles would be perfect for me while I was playing. I know there are other people out there with blurry vision who are afraid that glasses will interfere with their lifestyles, so I decided to create a blog to share everything I have learned about eyeglasses and contact lenses! I hope I can help you!

That's quick!

The 'border-spacing' of -1px seems a bit of a hack... :-)

Normally, 'position' overrides 'float'. Is that still the case in your
implementation? Or would 'position: absolute; float: a' cause
the 'position' to be ignored?

Some of the things you ran into have been improved in the internal draft
that I maintain. But so far there seemed to be too little interest to
spent time on publishing a new version. For some reason that has
suddenly changed...

Next week is a bad week for publishing working drafts (there is a
publishing moratorium because the W3C communications team is
unavailable) but I'll try to publish a new WD around a week from now.

B.t.w., the WG discussed the "matrix" idea and its relation to the other
layout models a bit, but decided that the best way to discuss them
really was around a whiteboard. The urgency seemed low enough that it
could wait until the next opportunity, which is early June.

So whatever comes out of these discussions, maybe a merger of the
various proposals, or a new proposal with the best features of all of
them in a new syntax, it's unlikely to be written up in a WD before

Whether you think of The Lion King, Princess Diana, Christmas shopping or Kingsman 2 almost everyone has a memory that in one way or another involves Elton John.

You have ONE more chance to relive those memories with the man himself. After more than fifty years touring the world, Elton John is ready to hang up the live stage microphone in order to fully embrace the next important chapter of his life.  In typical Elton John fashion, he's not going quietly.  His "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour will span three years and more than 300 tour dates, including a stop in the Treasure Valley! Want to check it out? Here's what you need to know!

Show: Elton John

When: 7 p.m., Friday, January 11, 2019

Where: Taco Bell Arena, 1401 Bronco Lane, Boise, ID

Tickets: Special pre-sales available to American Express members (January 25, 10 a.m. - January 29, 10 p.m.) and Ticketmaster Verified Fans (January 30, 10 a.m. to Wednesday, January 31, 10 p.m.) General public sale begins Friday, February 2 at 10 a.m. MT. Tickets range from $47.50-$197.50, plus additional service fees applied at checkout. Tickets can be purchased online through Ticketmaster, via phone through the Taco Bell Arena Box Office at 208-426-1766 or in person at the venue.

If you're saying to yourself, "self, didn't Elton John say goodbye to Boise a few years ago?" you're not losing it. "The Final Curtain" tour stopped through the Treasure Valley in 2015.  Most people believed that to be the final Elton John show.

Cutting and Binding

Now that the hay is in the barn (finally), and summer is fast slipping away, we've started harvesting here on the farm. In these photos we have Ryan, along with Clark and Fred, finishing up the wheat. There is also an adjacent field in oats that we will cut today.  If the weather cooperates, we should have all the threshing done by the end of the week.

Of sound mind for suicide?

Mental capacity assessment is challenging enough at the best of times: to ask doctors to do it with a patient's suicide as a potential outcome takes it into completely new territory

Everyone would agree that important decisions require an understanding of what is involved and an ability to weigh all the relevant information.  Most people would also agree that, the more serious the decision, the greater the level of assurance needed that the person making it knows what he or she is doing, is not acting impetuously or in a state of depression and is not being influenced by others.

A decision to take your own life has to be at the far end of the spectrum of gravity.  It is not surprising therefore that those who want to see the law changed to license physician-assisted suicide recognise that anyone seeking such assistance has, in the words of Lord Falconer's Private Member's Bill, "the capacity to make the decision to end their own life".

However, stating a requirement for capacity and establishing that it exists are not the same thing.  In a paper published today Dr Claudia Camden-Smith, a psychiatrist working in Hampshire, explains in layman's terms what is involved.  Taking the 2005 Mental Capacity Act as her starting point, she examines the difficulties of assessing capacity in someone who is terminally ill and then focuses on the problems which would confront any doctor who was asked to assess a terminally ill patient's capacity with a view to clearing the way for assisting his or her suicide.  These problems centre not only on the patient being assessed but also on the doctor doing the assessment.  "Psychiatrists and other doctors assessing mental capacity are not automata", Dr Camden-Smith writes. "They are human beings who come to the task with views and values of their own.  Such personal views may, however unintentionally, colour the assessments that are made".

Dr Camden-Smith notes, as a number of Peers observed in a critique of Lord Falconer's Bill published last month, that the Bill sets no minimum requirements for doctors making such assessments, an omission which she describes as "surprising and disquieting" and as "a serious structural weakness".  The Bill's simple requirement that two doctors should "be satisfied" as to capacity is, she writes, "superficial".

Dr Camden-Smith concludes:

"Psychiatrists and other doctors assess mental capacity, within a statutory framework, with a view to protecting patients from harm.  It is a challenging enough process at the best of times.  To ask them to make such assessments as part of a process which has suicide as a potential outcome is to take mental capacity assessment into completely new territory".

Dr Camden-Smith's paper should be read by anyone who thinks it is possible to 'check' for mental capacity in the manner of giving a car an MoT test.  It is not.  Mental capacity assessment is a complex process and, in the case of someone seeking licensed assistance with suicide, it is one where very high levels of assurance would be needed.  Lord Falconer's Bill ducks this issue by promising "codes of practice" at some future date.  "While such an approach may be appropriate in some areas of legislation", writes Dr Camden-Smith, "its suitability in situations, such as this, where the lives of vulnerable patients are at issue is highly questionable".

Twist a Movie Title: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Commerce

A friend told me while listening to NPR, there was something on Twitter where people were taking movie titles and making them sound boring.

Examples: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Commerce

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington State

A Streetcar Named Mild Interest

Singing in the Shower

So I tried it. How about:

The King and Liz

The Princess Toiletries.

Pulp Orange Juice.

One Fluttered Over the Bird’s Twig

To Swat A Mockingbird

Dial M for Milktoast

The So-So Years of Our Lives

Shawshank Perspiration

Some Like it Luke Warm

12 Discontented Men

The Wizard of Fresno

Writing Prompts:

1. You try it. It’s fun!
2. Choose one of the titles you’ve created or one of the titles above and write a story, script or poem to match. It could be a spoof or whatever you want it to be.
3. Create another art form for the title. What medium will you choose?

Preparations for 2nd edition of International Boat of Culture Festival in full swing

Following last year’s successful premier of the International Boat of Culture Festival in Łódź, preparations for the 2nd edition this summer are in full swing.

Preparations for the second edition of the International Boat of Culture Festival in Łódź have begun and the organizers have shared some insights with us already. As the international community in Łódź, or Poland in general, is continuously growing, festivals such as the International Boat of Culture, become an integral part of our lives, an opportunity to meet new people and the possibility to connect to people from around the globe.

One of the festival’s organizers, Samuel Mayor Santana, a Spaniard living in Łódź, has shared the progress on the preparations for the second edition which will take place between 10th and 12th of June this year.

– So far we have confirmed that the festival will take place between 10th and 12th of June. At the moment we are working on the confirmation of locations. We confirmed the Center of Dialogue of Łódź, where we will organize a conference regarding international projects in Poland, travelling, initiatives of Polish citizens abroad and local projects in Łódź-, Samuel says.

– In addition to the locations, we are looking for artists for exhibitions and concerts. We will also launch a promotion for a short film contest soon. At the moment are looking for people who want to take part in International Market, workshops and living library-, Samuel adds.

The festival also heavily depends on the support of sponsors and the organizers are seeking partnerships with Institutions, NGO’s, student organizations and companies to make this event one of the most refreshing festivals in the city of Łódź.

If you would like to get involved with the organization of the festival, if you would like to contribute as an artist or perhaps you would like to act as a sponsor, you can contact the organizers via email: or visit the International Boat of Culture Facebook page . You can also visit the festival’s website .

He was in the zone.

3 thoughts on “

  1. I’m not sure Logan’s racquet was legal therefore I have filed a protest with the league. There simply is no other reason why I would take such a beating! 🙂

    Good Game Logan Agassi

Eastern Shore Group Rolls Out Anti-Salmon Feedlot Campaign on Metro Buses

Monday, January 28th 2013 3:23:05pm

For Immediate Release

Halifax, NS - For the next two months, seven metro bus lines will carry a message from residents of the Eastern Shore that says “Save Our Coastal Waters and Economy.  Tell Premier Dexter to Stop Open Pen Fish Farming,” along with directions to two websites, NSapes.ca and salmonwars.com.

The campaign is designed to educate metro residents about the risks of current open pen salmon farming practices in the province.

The campaign was initiated by the Association for the Preservation of the Eastern Shore (APES), a group opposed to open pen salmon farms. “This outreach to metro was paid for by donations from hundreds of local citizens concerned about plans to set up salmon feedlots in their bays, which are in HRM,” said Marike Finlay, President of APES. “We’ve decided it is time to take this campaign to the city streets.”

“As of today, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has given the green light to salmon feedlot operators in the Atlantic provinces to process diseased salmon for human consumption,” Dr. Finlay continued. “This can’t be good for anyone. Who is going to eat this fish? Where is it being marketed?”

“Diseases like ISA also threaten other commercially viable fish species, like herring,” adds Dr. Elisabeth Bigras, M.D. “It’s time for Premier Dexter to listen to the citizens of Nova Scotia and call a halt to open pen salmon feedlots in this province. We don’t want them or their risky products. The province needs to stop imposing them on us.”

Tourism operator and campground owner, Brian Murphy agrees. “More than 90% of the residents of Shoal Bay and Spry Harbour”--where two proposed salmon feedlots are supposed to go--“signed a petition banning open pen salmon feedlots. We don’t want them! Our kids swim in these waters. Last summer,  I had between three and four thousand visitors to my campground. Those salmon pens are supposed to go right in front of my business, right in the channel! It’s outrageous.”

“Eastern Shore inshore lobster fishermen also stand to lose their livelihoods,” warns Vice-President of APES, Bill Williams.  “Copper in the feed and in anti-foulants used on the pens is lethal to lobster larvae. So are the pesticides used to kill sea lice. And studies in Port Mouton and Shelburne Harbour have shown that huge quantities of fish excrement lead to high sulphide levels that destroy habitat and repel lobsters and other wild fish and fauna. We have already shown that Snow Island Salmon’s Owl’s Head site has tested with dangerously high sulphide levels, tests that were ignored or fudged by the industry and government in order to justify restocking the site.”

According to the APES website there are 10 reasons why Premier Dexter should call a halt to open pen farmed salmon in Nova Scotia:

1. Open pen salmon isn’t good for you.
2. Open pen salmon costs taxpayers millions of dollars in subsidies and “crop failure” payments while threatening or destroying other, more sustainable existing industries.
3. Open pen fish farms pollute our coastal waters and beaches with tons of untreated waste.
4. Open pen fish farms aren’t good for lobsters, sea birds and other sea life.
5. Open pen salmon farms deplete wild fish populations and destroy viable direct food sources.
6. Open pen salmon farms easily become intensive breeding grounds for ISA and other serious diseases.
7. Open pen salmon farms are economically unsustainable.
8. Open pen salmon threaten the health and genetic vigour of wild salmon.
9. Open pen fish farm licenses are granted in undemocratic ways, and privilege large national and international companies over citizens’ rights.
10. Land-based closed-containment salmon farms are the way of the future.

nordstrom anniversary sale 2017 | best beauty finds

nordstrom anniversary sale 2017 best beauty

nordstrom anniversary sale 2017 best beauty

Happy Thursday, friends! Did you know that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2017 goes live to the public tomorrow?! At 2am CST, to be exact! (And the crowd goes wild!!!)

For those of you who don’t have a Nordstrom card, it’s game time. You’ve seen all the goods, now it’s time to pounce on what you’ve gotta have! And for all you Nordstrom card holders, make sure that you snatched up everything you wanted from the sale. Tomorrow morning, things are going to sell out like hot cakes!

In celebration of the big day, I wanted to share a special blog post… my favorite beauty buys of the Nordstrom sale! I don’t create a ton of beauty content here on Lonestar Southern, and that’s mainly because I don’t consider myself an expert by any means. I stick to the same makeup routine day after day, and if you ask me to do a dramatic smokey eye I will 100% come out looking like a raccoon.

But, I feel like a lot of us are like that, right? We are super interested in skin care and beauty, but not seasoned pros. And so if you fall into that camp, today’s post is for you! I scooped up four amazing beauty buys from the sale this year, that are perfect for the novice-but-interested beauty guru.

I can’t wait to show you what I got! Let’s get started!

neuLASH Serum

I couldn’t even count on two hands the number of bloggers I follow who swear by this product. Over the past year, I’ve used the Rodan & Fields Lash Boost with  great results, so I know these serums definitely work!

I was enticed by the sale price to try the neuLASH formula, however, since two serums are included at an incredible rate. I’m excited to try and see which I like better! With a ton of amazing reviews on this page, I don’t think I’m going to be disappointed.

Makeup Eraser Duo

nordstrom anniversary sale 2017 best beauty

About two years ago, my old college roommate (love you CA!) introduced me to this magical little cloth, the Makeup Eraser! I know it sounds too good to be true, but it does exactly what it says it does… removes your makeup with nothing more than warm water! And we’re talking all sorts of makeup. Even waterproof!

The reason I was so excited to find this in the sale is because I’ve personally tried and used this product, and am tell you that it works.

Plus, this $20 tool saves you so much on traditional makeup remover wipes! I was a Neutrogena makeup remover wipe girl for forever, but between the harsh chemical feeling and how much rubbing it took to remove the makeup, I started to really hate the discomfort they’d cause my skin. This cloth, on the other hand, is so very soft and gentle. Just toss it in the washer and dryer every couple of days, and you’re good!

P.S. Not only is this a great buy for you, it would make a darling stocking stuffer.

Bobbi Brown ‘On Trend Eyes & Cheek Collection’

As a self-professed beauty novice, I’m not one for dropping a ton of money on products I won’t get wear out of every single day. And that’s why I am so excited that this Bobbi On Trend Eyes & Cheek Collection is included in the sale!

For starters, it has both an eye palette and a cheek palette – amazing for saving space and money on makeup products! In fact, the cheek palette includes blush, bronzer and highlight shades!

Secondly, both the eye shadow palette and the cheek palette shades are non-fussy, versatile, and easy to wear day-to-night. The entire left column is perfect for a natural, easy every-day look, and I’ve already had so much fun experimenting with the darker shades for a little crease action.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Bobbi Brown for her approach to makeup… “Makeup should enhance the natural colors you see in your face.” That’s exactly what this palette gives you… a natural, enhanced look. Can’t recommend it enough!

GloPRO® Microneedling Regeneration Tool

Apparently I’m late to the party on this little tool… the GloPRO! I began hearing buzz about it around a month ago, and have been curiously doing research ever since. If you are wondering “What on earth does this crazy looking thing do?” let me share a little blurb!

“As the surgical stainless-steel microneedles pass over your skin, the rejuvenation process begins immediately as your cells respond to thousands of imperceptible microchannels by creating new collagen and restoring skin’s volume.”

This painless, elegant tool stimulates collagen production in your skin, leading to a firmer, more luminescent complexion. Even though I’m still in my early 20s, I love finding new ways to take care of my skin since it’s the only one I’ve got! I’ve heard amazing things about the GloPRO, and used it for the first time last night. I can’t wait to keep y’all updated on my experience with it! To read a ton of reviews, scroll down on this page!

There you have it, friends! If you’ve used any of the products above, please let me know in the comments below! I always love reading y’alls input, especially on beauty find like this! Be sure to check my Instagram Story later this evening, as I’ll be doing a second Nordstrom Anniversary Sale try on in honor of the sale going public tomorrow! Who’s excited?

Love from Texas,

Shop the look

Join in on the fun!

  1. I hate using makeup wipes, I feel like they dry out my skin. Since I workout after work, I want something quick to take my makeup off with and I’m going to try the makeup eraser. Thanks for sharing!

Books aren't just my passion, they're a way of life. From fiction to erotica to biographies and science, I read to fill myself with information from all walks of life. I can never have enough.
A Dark, Erotic Thriller
A Dark, Erotic Thriller
18 + Due to Strong Sexual Content, Extreme Violence

Book Geeks Unite says: “…raw, edgy, unpredictable, and even funny in parts. I was pleasantly surprised and entertained by this erotic thriller.”

Amber’s Reading Room says: “It’s dark and twisted just the way I like it.”

Book blogger Pia Bernardino says: “All Of Her Men is unapologetic, unconventional, unpredictable, interesting, tough and witty ...”

Jolene is no ordinary woman. She’s young, vivacious, and oh so dangerous. Burdened by her uncontrollable urges, Jolene struggles to live with a sexual dysfunction so harsh it consumes her entirely.

But when she starts receiving strange letters she suspects the worst. Someone saw her in a compromising situation. But what did they see? And what do they want? And how the hell did they find her?

Momma + 2

Mommy Graphics

We are expecting baby number two!!! We are so excited and happy. According to the chinese gender chart, we might be having a boy! I am so happy. I kind of gave up on hope that another baby was in our future. It is funny how it happened though. When I had my Ava I said I didn't want to have another baby till she was at least three and in two months she will be three lol. I feel bad at the same time, because I have a best friend that wants to have another child and has tried and nothing has happened. I feel bad for being excited that we are having another child and she can't at the moment.

Can I say that being home and spending time with family is the greatest thing in the world. We celebrated our christmas and we got so spoiled. Ava got so much stuff that it will probally take over her room at the new house :P I surprised my hubby with the one thing he wanted, a new tv for the living room. A big 50" tv. I most certainly got brownie points for that!! We have a little over a week left with our families and then it is off to NY!!!! It is so wonderful being home and better yet closer to home!!! We have so much going on and things to look forward too. I am super excited!

And for the biggest news yet. My big girl Ava is using the potty!!!!!! She personally trashed her diapers and we are in pull ups and using the potty. And she has done this all on her own. I am such a proud mommma!!

Will start blogging fully again once things get a little more settled :P

Whoever said moving was fun or easy must have been on crack. This is so insane and stressing. I hope once we get on the road this week and things get moving things will get better. Can't wait to go home to visit!!! And on a big note my baby girl is using the big potty like such a big girl. She loves her dora underwear! I am such a proud momma. She is so smart! I am truly blessed in everything in my life!

Bitter Sweet Day

Today I had a photoshoot with my best friends. It was bitter sweet. It was awesome because, we had so much fun and these photos will last forever no matter where we go. At the same time it was sad though, knowing that in days I will be leaving my girls and will be so far away and will miss so much. And it hurts and it's kind of depressing. I know that our friendship is strong and will overcome and distance and time but it's still hard. Not being able to drive down the street or taking a 20 min drive and being there. None the less I am glad that we did this. The photos turned out amazing and I will have these memories forever!
Today was great and the shoot was awesome and my baby girl has a calling for being a photographer :)
