Today in Comics History: England provides the twenty-first century with a role model, a guy who planned to blow up a government building, but who protest groups today apparently think is really cool because of those plastic masks

At 13th Dimension: Spider-Man's Screwiest Spider-Verses: Teens vs. Ultron!

Tonight, my pal John has a new post up over at comics news 'n' culture blog 13th Dimension, an' I helped! Continuing John's sure-to-be-Eisner-nominated series on weird and oddball alternate Spider-Man Universes, he's told us all about the time Spider-Man contributed to engineering education for teens and he fought the rampaging Doctor Octopus and Ultron. Well, sorta. In the end it's actually the civilians who save Spidey's bacon (and that's even without him being Spider-Ham!) You can pretty much count on Spider-Man just passing the buck in his adventures, can't you?:

Panels from The Amazing Spider-Man NACME Series: Riot at Robotworld #2 (1991), script by Dwayne McDuffie, pencils by Alex Saviuk, inks by Chris Ivy, colors by Paul Becton, letters by Jon Babcock

Ah, that's the Spider-Man we know and love.

Also, as Spider-Marshall-McLuhan would remind us, this is a comic book brought you to by the fine folks at the major corporations who contribute to the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, and so they get to have their names listed in a Spider-Man comic book. Be certain to buy stuff from them all! (Hey, it's just like Kickstarter!)

So check out SPIDEY’S SCREWIEST SPIDER-VERSES #3: Teenagers vs. Ultron over at 13th Dimension, the comics site that's ten dimensions better than reality!

In conclusion: engineering jobs for minority kids: good. Ultron: bad.

Archie's Generic Celebrities Month, Day 5: Not Actually Hootie and the Blowfish

Panels from "Hearing Aided" in Betty and Veronica (1987 series) #106 (December 1996), script by Mike Pellowski, pencils and inks by Dan DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, letters by Bill Yoshida

Panel from Beware the Batman #1 (December 2013), script by Ivan Cohen, pencils and inks by Luciano Vecchio, colors by Franco Riesco, letters by Wes Abbott

Previews for Bulls (November 5, 2014)

In which a little stuffed bull looks at the comic shelves from the bottom up ('coz I'm very, very small) and tells you about comics, books, merch and dust-gatherers on sales tomorrow, Wednesday, November 5. So before you heads off to blow up Parliament just because you have a cool mask that came with your V for Vendetta trade, go buy some fine comics! Or maybe some of these.

Here's a random thought: why is Dick Grayson called Agent #37 in this series...and not Agent #38?

Also, whoa, is that the most psychedelic and vertigo-inducing comic book cover you'll see this week?...

Today in Comics History: First appearance of Booster Gold on the front page of a newspaper not accompanied by the world "alleged"

Page from Justice League Quarterly #1 (Winter 1990), plot and layouts by Keith Giffen, script by J.M. DeMatteis, pencils by Chris Sprouse, inks by Bruce Patterson, colors by Gene D'Angelo, letters by Bob Pinaha

Archie's Generic Celebrities Month, Day 4: Not Actually Guy Fieri, Rachael Ray, or Paula Deen

Say, who's this hash-crashing the Riverdale High cafeteria, domain of dinner doyenne Bernice Beazly? Why, it's some Gourmand Generic Celebrities!

Splash page from "Cafeteria Cook Showdown" in World of Archie Double Digest #7 (July 2011), script by Bill Golliher, pencils by Stand Goldebrg, inks by Al Milgron, colors by Barry Grossman, letters by Janice Chiang

Let's introduce them by their generic parody names, shall we? Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Guy and Rachael Dude and Maple are introduced as pretty darn cool, and so would you if you had a multi-million dollar advertising cookware campaign running in major magazines around the world, including inside the Archie Universe. But right from the start "Deanna Paul" is shown to be harboring a dark, dark secret from her Southern past. Could it be that she's fond of using... gasp!... the "N" word? Why yes, here in Riverdale, Deanna can't resist referring to... Nabisco!

Suddenly...national television channel reality program showdown! What, you're doing a TV show about cafeteria food without Oliver Jameson?

Of course, Ms. Beasly's infamous un-food pulls swiftly to the lead, thanks to Dude Ferrari's palate for food from (in the name of his popular TV series) Dumpsters, Debris and Dung!

Turns out Deanna Paul's secret shame is that she flunked out of cafeteria school. Also, that her name used to be "Mary Slimapple." Also, that she smokes twenty packs of butter daily.

HA HA HA HA Deanna Paul opens her own mouth and inserts foot. Well, it oughta be better than those Lard Squyares she's been hawking.

The Zen of Batman: Politics

A rebroadcast of a Bully Classic™ from November 7, 2011!

From Batman: "Hizzoner the Penguin" (November 2, 1966), script by Stanford Sherman

Please make Batman proud of you by voting for the candidate of your choice* at your local polling place!

*Unless it's the Penguin.

The poster-edition commissioned by the Goethe-Institut consists of a range of prints in split-fountain-printing-technique. The set includes an image of a moonscape referring to extra-territorial speculations and fictions about Europe, a composition with quotes by the participating curators, a poster with the various typographic scenarios about Europe and the two signature badges for Europen.

All these motifs were printed in a rare printing technique, in which inks are mixed on a single printing cylinder. Through the rotation of the cylinder the colour sections change their position slightly during the printing process. Hence, each print is unique. We make use of a standard industrial process of reproduction which is modified specifically to produce original variety.

Magic Monday- Simplify & De- Clutter= Joy & Ease

Happy Monday AND Happy New Year…I am so excited to blog again. I have been wanting to blog about simplifying and de-cluttering for some time..I am so ready to simplify my house, stuff, work, life etc..

I will also be blogging more about how to add cooking, meal prep and self- care to this project soon BUT one step at a time right?? stay tuned…

When things are less ” cluttery” I always feel better and have more space to do things that nourish me…I also feel more rested, creative and inspired when my space and life feels less cluttery…

I want to start a DE-Cluttering Made Simple project…the intention behind this is to de-clutter and simplify in a SIMPLE and non-stressful way….It’s all about EASE and JOY …

Here are some basic ideas I have. Weekly/Monthly****
1- Fill up 2-3 bags a week of stuff that no longer serves you from your home. You can do this solo or ask your family to also fill 1 bag a week.
2- Pick a day to take this weekly gathering to a donation place of your choice. This is important to take the stuff out right away or if will just sit and clutter another space
3-Pick 1 closet or ” closed door area” per week and clean it out, organize and de-clutter.
4- Pick one day to do 1-2 loads of wash and hang up clothes after. This may be a given but we all know we have those chairs or benches that collect all our ” dirty or clean clothing “and add to the CLUTTER piles
5. Plan 1 monthly ( or every 2 months) project to work on something in your space you want to improve, clean up etc. This can be something you do alone or with your family or friends.
6- Take a few hours away from electronics,,this mini fast may help feed your soup and open up space for so much more

Thanks all for now…Some of you may choose to do all these steps ( and more ) in one day or weekend. Thats fine too but this project is intended to simplify and de-clutter in a simple way where you feel light and energized during/after…So, do what makes you feel LIGHT not HEAVY.

I hope these tips help..
Who wants to do these with me??

P.S- Remember to sign up for my free guide on my homepage…

With love and sparkle

Magic Monday- Play & Self Care

Happy Magical Monday!

I am  going to be talking about the importance of play and self care today…And even better, how we can all do these more in 5-10 mins!

It is so important as busy moms ( and everyone) to make sure we are taking care of ourselves first…I know this sometimes seems impossible right? It sure does for me! With the never-ending “to-do” lists and things that must get done, I often see people ( especially busy moms) put themselves last on this long list of things to GET DONE….I am really getting more focused on scheduling in more time for myself to have play and self care…It’s so important and necessary. Let’s all fill up our cups so we are not always draining the energy bank OK?…And then we can also help more people and be more present doing it…

So on this magical monday, I want to invite you to allow a little more PLAY and SELF- CARE into your life….Maybe try scheduling it in your calendar so it really does get done…Just 5-10 mins! We can all do it together… Below, are some self care tips that are simple and take only a few mins!

  • Take a 10-‐minute warm bath with Epsom salt-‐ Epsom salt can help relax the body!
  • Do some sort of meditation for 5 minutes in the morning when you are waking up. This can be saying a simple mantra like “ you are calm and relaxed” said over and over again. This can help be in the present moment
  • Do some slow and deep breathing! This resets the nervous system and activates your parasympathetic nervous system.
  • Take a 5-‐10 minute walk and be in nature
  • Drink a cup of warm herbal tea and listen to music
  • Write in a gratitude journal for 5-10 mins daily
  •  Eat some comfort food that is also nourishing!
  •  LAUGH LAUGH – Increases Oxytocin! ” the love hormone”
  • HUG HUG HUG People  – this also increases Oxytocin
  • PLAY MORE….play games, dance or anything that is FUN!

Hope you enjoyed todays blog…

With love and sparkle- Amy

Strawberries Baby!!

Today I will be talking about STRAWBERRIES…It’s April and Strawberries are in season. They are so nourishing. I love strawberries and so does my daughter Nylah! Here is some information about strawberries.. Enjoy!

Strawberry fun facts: Where do strawberries grow? In the earth or those funny looking strawberry pots!Strawberries have their seeds on the OUTSIDE. How cool is this!

Spring Allergies are here!

Hi All- Happy Spring…What an amazing and Fresh time of year…I just love spring weather! The allergies can be rough for some people with all the pollen and things blooming. I will be chatting today about some natural and nourishing things you can do to ease allergens. In my opinion, your immunity has so much to do with how you are affected by allergies. The more boosted and strong our immunity is the better we can fight allergies of all sorts. So here are some simple and easy tips:

  • Make sure to get lots of sleep-Your body heals when you are sleeping
  • Eat a Rainbow on your plate every day!- bright colored foods are high in antioxidants
  • Drink lots of yummy bone broth- bone broth is so nourishing and helps you stay strong
  • Drink Nettle tea- Nettle tea is so rich in vitamins and minerals- helps fight allergies
  • Take a supplement called D-hist ( they have an adult and kids version)- buy at Farmacopia- or ask me
  • Local Honey can be amazing to help fight allergies- warm water, lemon and local honey is a natural cough syrup
  • Eat a diet that is anti-inflammatory- when the body is inflamed it can become toxic and weak
  • Boost your digestion- over 70% of your immunity lives in you gut- take probiotics daily and/ or eat fermented foods
  • Omega 3 oils help fight inflammation- cod liver oil, flax oil and help oil are great sources

Please call me if you want to support your allergies and more we can work on this together! I am offering 25.00 off your first visit with me for the months of March and April. Also, refer a friend and get discounts on your future follow up visits. Thanks and Be Well, Amy

Hi Friends- I have not blogged in Sooooo long. I am so glad to be blogging and connecting today with all of you. I am going to be talking about the fun FLU today. It’s that time of year when you are surrounded by the funky flu. How can you not get sick? or if you do get sick..get less sick?? My answer is boost all year long and double boost when your surrounded by sickies.

Here are some simple suggestion to follow to feel nourished and boosted:

  • Make sure you are sleeping good. Go to bed early if you can
  • Stress Less..Stress makes you sick! lowers immunity
  • Exercise a few times a week
  • Wash your hands, your kids hands and sing your ABC”S when washing baby!
  • Eat warming seasonal foods- soups, bone broths, stews, cooked greens and lots of turmeric and cumin spices added to food
  • Eat a Rainbow of color on your plate with beautiful vibrant fruits and veggies

Supplements that can help:

  • Vitamin D3 – 2,000 ius a day is good. Take more if you feel yourself getting run down or sick- get you vit d levels checked if you can
  • Probiotics – 70% of your immunity lives in your gut so boost it up baby
  • Omega 3s –  I love cod liver oil and so does my 3.5 year old..crazy right?

There is so much more I could say about boosting immunity but these are some really simple ways to stay boosted.

Be Well, Amy

Love and Acceptance!

Hi friends…I am writing today and feeling very happy and loved! I have really been trying to look a little closer and appreciate the “simple things” in life. Sometimes I can get so caught up in the “hurry” of my daily grind and not stop and “smell the roses”. The bottom line is that life is crazy, will be crazy, and NOTHING is guaranteed..The one thing you can count on is enjoying the “little things” and being mindful of how you are thinking about things that surround you. Stress can be hard to pin point and deal with. In fact, for me it’s a constant struggle to be “somewhat ZEN”. I feel like “what’s wrong with me”?? Well…I am starting to realize that nothing is wrong with me..It is simply the way stress hits my body..I do believe that I can change the way that I deal with stress by simply being more accepting of what is happening around me! I have been told for years just to “let go”…Well, I am not sure about you but…This is hard to do!! Simple but hard…I am writing to all you “type A” moms (or parents) and saying that “letting go” is a daily process for me and it probably will be for a while…I have a very active and verbal toddler. People kept telling me “just wait until she asks WHY about everything” Well, it has happened and it is FIERCE. So, I am having to breath differently and try to roll with it more lately than before. I am paying close attention to what happens in my body when I feel stress. It will take time but I am eager to feel more calm and “at ease” when I am in the throws of a busy life, my own business and a 3 year old!

The bottom line is LOVE and ACCEPTANCE sometimes every moment on some crazy days…

Tydrus pt.2

When he had grown,

completed his training,

Tydrus went to his uncle

who secured him a boat

and stocked it well so

that none could say

it lacked for men or weapons or larder

sent Tydrus out, of his leave

to gain fortune and increase the worth

of the value of his name

“So that it will spread,” said Uncle,

“to your cousins, my sons

and your brothers and your uncles.

They will be seated better at feasts

wherever they are in the world.

That is the value of worth,” said his Uncle.

“How can words travel so far so fast?” asked Tydrus

“Some of my people are far flung across the world.”

Uncle laughed. “You will see.”

and Tydrus did

travelled up the seacoast to the ice

down to the edge of the sand land

where they make black men

and out to the deep, nothing but water.

He saw and heard so many things

all through the veil of uncle’s laughter

and laughed himself, once he knew

as fast as ships travel

tongues travel faster.

TOO much fun?

No such thing as too much fun! Here we are on Friday enjoying the outdoor movie series sponsored by the divine Thomas Sweet:

Saturday was the second annual Quaker picnic at Walnford, complete with stump jumping:

And on Sunday we made some new friends, re-connected with some old ones, and braved the heat in our kayaks:

(That's D discovering that he's strong enough to stop a kayak in its tracks, so to speak.)

Pretty tough to pack more fun than that into a weekend! Whew.

Buy Classic Chevrolet Chevelle Muscle Cars Near You In Chester Heights PA 19017

Back in 1995 I was fresh out of college and spending my summer travelling around from town to town checking out the local street scene. At the time I had a beautiful nice 1966 Chevelle. From the surface she looked quite stock and plain Jane, which is how I liked it.

Chevy Chevelle’s For Sale

I tried to keep the vehicle as low profile as possible. Unlike most people I didn’t want to put flashy Super Sport badges on my car or market that there was anything aside from a little block hiding under my hood. My Chevelle which i bought in Chester Heights PA 19017 had no fancy rims or wide meats sticking out of the back wheel wells, just the stock looking rims and a set of Mickey Thompson cheater slicks that may simply give a hint to exactly what this automobile was up to.
If you were to look within my 66 Chevelle you actually would not think much of it simply a clean stock looking black interior with a Hurst 4 speed and 3 low key evaluates installed under the dash. Under the hood of my car is where this vehicle actually shined. Absolutely nothing elegant hiding under there just a clean stock looking big block Chevy with painted valve covers and a stock looking air filter sporting a 325 horse power 396 cubic inch sticker. If you just occurred to talk me into raising the hood for you this is where I had you. Due to the fact that tucked below that stock looking air filter with the 325 horsepower sticker was a really stout 427 cubic inch huge block Chevy. You can find a Chevelle Like Mine In Chester Heights PA 19017.
It was this low key look that hooked them, and after that it was up to me to reel them in. I remember my pals and I cruised up and down many a main street that summer. We would travelled my Chevelle up and down the local strips mostly simply idling her through, never actually revving her up or getting on it. Simply a low key Chevelle trying not to draw attention to ourselves so that we might set our trap.
Numerous a person stepped into the trap that we set that summertime, always believing that they were facing a primarily stock car. Child were they incorrect. I did not win every race that summer season, but by the time fall rolled around my little low key 66 Chevelle had quite a name for itself and gained the regard that it should have.

Throughout the 1960s and in the early 1970s, there was a lot of range for each design year of the Chevelle for sale readily available to consumers. This was the first time the American auto market had seen a model that tried to be all things to all people. There were convertibles, economy-oriented sedans, station wagons geared for the households, and of course, the muscled coupes. The Chevelle for sale was also offered through special nameplates throughout the years, such as Wanderer, Wanderer Custom-made, Greenbrier, Concours Estate, and Concours.

Object-Level Security for Analysis Services Tabular

Among the many new features coming w/ SSAS 2017, object-level security for tabular models is at (or close to) the top of the list for a few clients I work with. In fact, for 1 client, it is/was important enough that we decided to join the early adopter program (EAP) and officially run the preview version in production.

What is Object-Level Security?

In it’s simplest form, object-level security is a way to hide tables and/or columns from users.

But perspectives are also a feature that allow you to hide tables/columns from users. The difference is that hiding a table/column via perspectives does not prevent user (especially the crafty ones) from accessing the table/column via DAX or changes to the connection string. Perspectives are simply a good way to improve the user-experience by hiding clutter. They are NOT a security mechanism!

Object-level security doesn’t just “hide” tables/columns… it “secures” them. Unlike perspectives, if a table/column is secured via the Table and Column Security tab in the Role Manager window, then that user can’t access the table/column at all. It doesn’t show up in the field list when using tools like Excel or Power BI. It’s not accessible via DAX. It’s as if the table/column never existed at all.

Below is a quick look at the GUI. All you need to do is add a check mark to any column or table you wish to secure.

At the time we installed SSAS 2017 (CTP 2.1) and upgraded the tabular model to the 1400 compatibility-level, the Analysis Services Project template for Visual Studio 2017 hadn’t (yet) been updated to allow for defining object-level security via the GUI. As such, we were forced to generate the JSON-based role definitions and apply them after model deployment (think: Excel + .NET). Fortunately, this is no longer necessary as the updated Analysis Services Project template for Visual Studio 2017 were just released last week!

What are the alternatives?

To be sure, running preview software in production was a calculated risk. We first explored alternative options…

  1. create separate tabular models for each security requirement.
  2. implement a DAX workaround shared by Darren Gosbell

Option 1 requires maintaining a several models with only minor differences across the included tables/columns while option 2 required “adjusting” nearly every measure in the model. This client’s model consists of more than 60+ tables, 1200+ columns, 250+ relationships (yes, that’s right… several accumulating snapshot fact tables), and 480+ measures… so neither of these options were particularly appealing due to the amount of developer and administration overhead required.

Note: for a model with this many objects, you NEED to be on SSAS 2016 or higher and upgrade your model(s) to the 1200 compatibility-level simply for speed increase (during development in Visual Studio) that comes from a move to the JSON-based Tabular Object Model.

    Hi ,

    Is there SSDT GUI to manage access grant for specific Measure to specific user ? thanks

    1. Bill says:

      not directly and not with a great user experience.

      if you restrict access to a column that a measure depends on, that measure will throw an error when used (directly or indirectly) by a user who’s a member of that role.

Maxxam's Acquisition of Technology Company Brings New Benefits to Oil Sands Clients

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/13 -- In a move that promises to pay major dividends for clients in Canada's oil and gas sector, Maxxam Analytics, Canada's largest independent laboratory, has acquired a ground-breaking software and services technology company that has developed a technique to dramatically improve the ability to evaluate oil sands drill cores.

The acquisition of Henderson and Associates (H&A) provides Maxxam with a platform through which the development and integration of value-added technical services will be available to meet the growing needs of clients in the oil sands geological market and beyond.

H&A is a Calgary-based petroleum consulting firm serving exploration and production companies in the oil sands. Its expertise is based on an innovative software solution, developed by H&A, and named Visual Logger(TM), which facilitates drill core description and logging. H&A also provides geological services for reviewing oil sands drilling projects which fully leverage Visual Logger for efficient and accurate results.

Maxxam Senior Vice President, Petroleum Services, Fred Hutchings, says under the terms of the acquisition, H&A will operate independently from Maxxam's oil sands drill core operations which will give customers more choice.

"Customers will be able to purchase services from H&A, which will remain completely separate from their purchase of Maxxam's reservoir core laboratory service," Hutchings said. "We recognize this is a highly competitive field and the confidentiality of information of customers who choose to work directly with H&A will be respected at all times."

The acquisition of H&A will essentially result in business as usual for the company, employees and clients, as there will be no staffing or location changes. The name of the company will remain as Henderson and Associates with a small by-line to indicate that H&A is now a Maxxam company.

H&A founder David Henderson said Maxxam's enthusiasm and commitment to developing new technologies, coupled with its considerable resources and scope, made Maxxam an obvious choice to take the H&A's business to new levels of customer and market innovation.

"The acquisition will allow H&A to bring new technologies to the market much faster than we could ever do on our own," Henderson said. "The benefits of that are two-fold: H&A can take the next evolutionary step in its growth trajectory, while providing leading edge technologies to our ever-expanding client base."

Jon Hantho, CEO of Maxxam, added that H&A's expertise will allow Maxxam to broaden its areas of technical specialization and sophistication within the industry, which is a win for clients. "Maxxam has been at the commercial forefront of analytical services to the oilsands industry, and this acquisition is further evidence of our commitment to this market and to our goal of developing solutions that drive success for our customers."

About Maxxam Analytics

Maxxam is the market leader in analytical services and solutions to the energy, environmental, food and DNA industries. We provide unparalleled depth of technical and scientific expertise and serve customers through the only national network of laboratories.

Well then.

So, obviously it's been awhile since I did anything with this blog. My apologies. I did make it back from Guatemala, and I did go to El Salvador too... and now I'm home on summer break! Here's a brief sketch of what's happened since then:

- We spent 5 weeks at GBS, doing Cultural Anthropology and Preparation for Intercultural Ministry classes during the week and helping with a church on the weekend. My team went to that church that I showed you pictures of, starting up a Sunday School program with the kids there.

- At the end of our time at GBS, we went to Panajachel, on the shores of Lake Atitlan. There, we had one day off, a weekend of Spiritual Retreat, which included different sessions given by our directors, worship, solo time, and silent evenings. At the end we had another day off, during which we went to a pool at the hotel next door and swam, then spent time preparing for practicum which started the next day.

- For Practicum, we went to El Salvador. My team went to the community Loma De la Cruz, just outside of the town of Jucuapa. During our time there, we built a wall out of rock, taught ESL, played soccer with the kids, had a kids' club, taught crafts to the older girls, and showed an evangelistic movie. It was a great time with the team, building relationships with the people in the community and learning a new type of Spanish accent. El Salvadorans are hard to understand! (Think of a non-native English speaker talking to someone from Arkansas)

- After practicum, which lasted for 10 days, with one day on each end for prep and debrief, we returned to GBS for the rest of the week to debrief our entire time in Central America. The seminary students threw us a goodbye party, and many tears were shed. I also worked on getting the last details in place for our travel back to Canada (as one of the two travel apprentices, I was responsible for the group's travel from Guatemala to El Salvador and back to Guatemala, then to Canada... quite the adventure!).

Then, Sunday, the 5th of April, we flew back to Canada. Everything went smoothly, except for the intern who didn't make it through customs quickly enough to make the connection in Houston. The poor girl had to stay at a 5-Star hotel overnight and fly to Calgary the next day.

We had one day off, then class started up. This was Theology class, and I loved it! We learned the history of theology, and the progression of the church's theology, as well as different theologians in history and went through the basic beliefs of the church. We had a little over 2 weeks of Theology, then it was graduation time.

My family came for graduation, surprising me by bringing one of my cousins and one of my aunts! It was a great time together, even though some of my time was taken up with Discover closing activities and graduation rehearsal. We had Thursday evening, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning together before they started the drive home.

Now, I'm sure you're thinking, "why didn't you go home with them?" Well, because I had to stay! Yeah, yeah... that explains a lot. =) Remember when I told you that I got an internship with Discover? Well, part of the internship was staying 2 weeks after graduation for a class.

The class was part training and part class-oriented. We learned about how to build a team, develop a team culture, work better cross-culturally, and be a servant leader. Towards the middle of the class, we went on an overnight orienteering trip, spending all day with a topographical map and compass, looking for different caches of food/supplies for the night. After it was all done, we made dinner and relaxed together, singing with Kyle's guitar, before turning in to bed. Next morning we had breakfast, then left for solo time, then returned to debrief with our director, David.

After 2 weeks on a VERY quiet campus, we departed for home. And that's where I am now! I've been working on a distance ed course (also part of the internship), painting a house, and taking short trips. Last weekend my older brother and I went backpacking with a couple of our cousins.

What's next? Well, I return to Prairie the 25th of July to go on a canoe trip with the other interns, then we have 2 weeks on campus to prepare for the new students coming in. Then it's off to do a repeat of last year's activities, but as a leader... or rather, a servant-leader.

I may put up some pictures sometime of the last part of Guatemala/El Salvador... but no promises. On the other hand, I may post some random theological wanderings here, because that's what I am-- a purposeful wanderer. I know what I'm doing, I know where I'm going eventually, but until then, I'm wandering this earth, and enjoying it fully. =)

dc.description.abstract Since the end of the Cold War, there has been a comprehensive challenge to dominant conceptions in Security Studies. Security has been approached as a political phenomenon, resulting from political assumptions and having political effects. The politicization of security has been pursued by a number of so-called ‘critical approaches,’ including ‘security as emancipation.’ The latter argues that security consists in removing or alleviating constraints upon the lives of individuals and groups – such as poverty, ill health, or lack of education. This thesis asks two questions: firstly, can the ‘security as emancipation’ approach, in its current formulation, deliver on its claims and promises, in the context of the effort of politicization in Security Studies? And secondly, if it is shown that there are weaknesses, in what ways can the analytical and normative outlook of security as emancipation be strengthened through an engagement with other resources in the literature? Chapters 1 and 2 establish the context in which the merits of security as emancipation must be judged. They conclude that an engagement with this approach must focus on the way it conceives the multiple connections between security and politics. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 pursue this insight, by focusing on the notions of reality, threat and power respectively. In each of these themes, the argument identifies gaps in security as emancipation and suggests theoretical reconsiderations based on an engagement with approaches and ideas – in the critical security literature and in social and political theory – that so far have been neglected or not examined sufficiently by this approach. This thesis aims to re-establish security as emancipation as a valid interlocutor within critical debates about security. It also aims to show that the dialogue between critical approaches is, not only possible, but beneficial to understanding the politicization of security. en_UK

The 'winter that never showed up'... coming to an end....The fourth in a row.
March brought next to nothing, a few somewhat interesting skies as remnants of low pressure systems drifted over, but about enough rain to get the pavement wet.

And a bit of nice cirrus too.

I want to see more skies like this!

In the time I might have spent editing some new batches of stormy gnarly clouds, I did some research. What's been the cause of all this?
It's been dubbed the 'Ridiculously Resilient Ridge' (of high pressure).
To quote from this blog:
"I will, however, speculate on possible implications if the Ridiculously Resilient Ridge is going to be around for the next few decades. While we don’t know if the ridge has formed in the more distant past, we do have a good idea about what California’s climate was like over the past 10,000 years – and it isn’t a pretty picture. It has been very well established that droughts lasting MANY DECADES have come through the area, drying up lakes to the point that trees grew to mature size in their lakebeds, and possibly causing various civilizations in the Southwest to collapse. It’s certainly possible that the Ridge or something like it played a role in those droughts."

[[Canyon De Chelly is probably an example of this:

About a thousand years ago, there was a serious drought, and many if not most of the SW native americans pulled stakes, and moved to... who knows where?... probably north.]]

Pretty scientific for a guy like me, but understandable, give it a try, there's a nice animation part way down the page:

The RRR is coupled with the 'TTT':
"In the east, we’ve seen its southern-dipping counterpart, which I call the “Terribly Tenacious Trough.”

Here's a map that says it all:

Many other interesting links:

Aspen is running out of snow.

Owens Lake (now Owens Valley) is a prime example of short sighted water use.
The 110-square-mile lakebed has been dry since 1926, 13 years after Los Angeles officials opened an aqueduct that diverted water 200 miles away to the young metropolis. The audacious water grab, memorialized in the 1974 movie Chinatown, turned the lake into a ghostly white alkali void. Winds sweeping down the Sierra Nevada kicked up a toxic brew of arsenic and other carcinogens, carrying it up to 75 miles and threatening the 40,000 residents of the Owens Valley region and beyond with asthma and emphysema — even heart attacks.

“You don’t want to breathe this stuff,” says Schade. “It can kill you.”

-------------------------- - click on 'the memory of water', it'll get you a PDF that's a good read, and it's free.
And in the course of doing some research for another one of my blogs, I came across some other very interesting pages. People like to criticize the government, but some of the services they provide are awesome, in particular the work of NOAA and NWS. Here's a few samples:

There is something here for a wide variety of people - from cloud watchers like me, to pilots, farmers and who knows how many others.

Let's not forget another great government operation - NASA!

(This blog is pretty nice too, if space is your cuppa tea: )

Yes, the ripple effects will be like dominos, one cascading into another.

Drier conditions? More fires. And forest fires start a series of events. The fire leaves the ground unable to absorb any further rain, so if and when it does rain? It doesn't sink in, it creates mudslides.
It takes many years for the land to heal itself... in the meantime....?

The Central Valley loses water, & farming & agriculture shrinks? People lose jobs and maybe move on, towns and businesses dry up. And what does this do to the price of your produce?

4/1 - announced today by order of Gerry Brown - a push for a 25% reduction in water use.
Of course this does not apply to agricultural water use, which is waaay more than consumer use.

One last totally excellent link, marvelous aerial photos:

I'll be back in a month, probably w/ more bad drought news, but with some good skies from my archives.

Impotency: Diagnosis and Treatments!!

Erectile dysfunction or impotence is the inability to accomplished sexual acts due to poor erection strength. It is one of the most common sexual issues that affect nearly all male at some point of their life.

The erection process mainly takes place in 3 steps:-

First level sexual arousal: - In this step, sexual stimulation occurs due to our thoughts and senses.
Second level erection: - It involves brain sending signals to the body that enhances the flow of blood to the penis.
Third level erections: - Penile blood vessels allow more flow of blood in order to achieve stronger and firmer erections.

However anything that restricts the flow of blood to the penile area may leads to erectile dysfunction or impotence.

Erectile dysfunction or impotence can be diagnosed by the following procedures:-

Physical Examination: - During physical examination, doctors mainly examine the physical aspects of the male organ. It will help you determine the physical cause of your sexual problem.

Psychological Examination:-It involves answering of questionnaires and interviews.

After knowing the exact reason behind your erection problem you can easily go for an effective treatment. Here given below are certain popular erectile dysfunction treatments:-

Erectile dysfunction Treatment #1:- Vaccum Devices

It is a mechanical vaccum device to overcome impotency. Vaccum pumps are used to cause erection by creating partial vaccum that draws blood into the penis. However it may leads to certain side-effects like lesions on penis, loss of sensitivity etc

Erectile dysfunction Treatment #2:- Surgery

It involves implanting a device that helps in the reconstruction of arteries so as to increase the flow of blood resulting in firmer and stronger erections. Surgery is quite effective in curing impotency problem but then it may cause serious side-effects and health complications.

Erectile dysfunction Treatment #3:- Injections

It involves injecting medication to the side of the penis that can cause an erection. This will help overcome impotency issue but then these injections are also associated with a number of side-effects which can’t be ignored

Erectile dysfunction Treatment #4:- Pills

There are two types of impotency pills available in the market- prescription and non prescription medications. Prescription impotency pills include popular Viagra, Cialis etc which are quite efficient in treating impotence problem. However these pills are associated with certain side-effects like headache, heart attack, chest pain etc

Moreover non-prescription pills are completely safe and have no fatal side-effects i.e. CaliPlus. It is one of the safest and powerful natural impotency pills that help you achieve stronger and firmer erections within 15 minutes. CaliPlus show its effect up to 36 hours. This natural impotency pill overcomes weak and poor erections thereby enhancing your performance in bed. It improves sexual energy and stamina. CaliPlus impotency pills are offered with 90 days money back guarantee. To know more about this incredibly effective supplement, visit

1 comment:

    Earlier, I used to propose the use of vacuum pumps or some medications like Cialis®. I knew that these would not work in the way the person expects them to, but there was no other alternative. They came to me in distress and asked for a solution, but I had none. Ever since CaliPlus™ was used by one of my patients, prescribing to patients with soft erections has become easy. It is found to be very helpful by my patients. They keep on praising the positive effects this pill has brought in their lives. I am happy that they have finally found a real solution to their problems.

AULLA Conference: Storytelling in Literature, Language and Culture

full name / name of organization:
Australasian Universities Languages and Literature Association (AULLA) The 36th Congress of the Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association (AULLA) will be a wide-ranging exploration of 'Storytelling in Literature, Language, and Culture.

Storytelling is a defining impulse of the human and inflects all we say and do. Stories arise within us and our lives are encompassed and driven by them. Stories deliver innumerable forms of meaning and affect, and they proliferate beyond the zone of the human to emerge through compelling natural patterns and processes. Storytelling is a sermon, an aesthetic exercise, a hopeless cry, and a bridge to 'others' beyond the self. How do stories of the general overrun and manage stories of the particular, and how do the micro stories do or undo the work of the macro? We live our lives as much within stories as beyond them and they frequently escape their own bounds.

As well as sending our lives on trajectories of meaning or fantasies of escape, stories real and fictive may incarcerate, torture and destroy the human and humane. There are political and technological dimensions to telling (owning, circulating, controlling) stories. Media old and new are not neutral, but constrain what are the dominant stories and how they are told. Indigenous storytelling in Australia, New Zealand and around the world, possesses unique power to speak to the present not just from non-European pasts, but from other present realities, and indeed to speak of other possible futures. The European and Asian languages themselves possess and express complex identities that are conveyed, enriched and deconstructed through processes of use, research, learning, and teaching.

How are stories told and analyzed, formed or deformed within differing disciplines, genres and ideologies in the humanities? How do we retell the stories of the literature, languages and cultures we study, with what aims or effects? What can we say of the interconnections and blendings, the flightlines and songlines of stories and of tellings through space and time?

Plenary speakers:

* Meaghan Morris, Department of Cultural Studies, Lingnan University, Hong Kong, and Department of Gender and Cultural Studies, University of Sydney
* Ewan Fernie, Department of English, Royal Holloway University of London
* Brian Boyd, Department of English, University of Auckland

AULLA invites submission of abstracts for papers and panels relating to 'Storytelling in Literature, Language, and Culture'. There will be opportunities for delegates to have their papers considered for refereed publication including in a refereed 'Proceedings' of the conference published in 2011 as a online special edition of the association's journal, AUMLA.

Abstracts (200 words) for papers and suggestions for themed panels should be submitted to by Friday 24 December 2010.

Cultures of Exchange and Exchanges of Culture: 16th Annual WIP (Work-in-Progress) Conference. 24th-25th August, 2012.

full name / name of organization:
School of English, Media Studies and Art History, The University of Queensland, Australia.
contact email:

The 2012 Work in Progress (WIP) Conference aims to draw on criticism, comment, knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm about the highly multiple phenomenon of exchange in the humanities and the arts. As a counterpart to culture's strong individual aspect, exchange works, often somewhat experimentally, to twine differing social, aesthetic, imaginative, theoretical, economic, and political strands of activity and thought. The conference calls for contributions from and attendance by researchers, postgraduates, and honours students working in various disciplines and with regard to different historical periods.

Interested researchers are invited to submit abstracts with connections to this year's general theme.

Topics may include but are not limited to:

- How does originality function, or fare, in a period of deep cultural emphasis on sharing and mixing?

- What might be lost or gained in the process of adaptation?

- To what extent, or in what ways, do writers and readers address each other?

- How does the idea of exchange structure texts?

- How does cultural exchange foster cultural understanding? For example, multiculturalism, queer theory, creative collaborations?

Keywords: sharing, borrowing, conversation, reciprocity, translation, transposition, adaptation, assimilation, appropriation, interdependence, correspondence, debate, intertextuality, interdisciplinary, gifts, transference, traffic, co-operation, points of intersection, dialogism, communication barriers, pedagogial convergence, theoretical discord, travel, influence, borders, boundaries, hybridity, subjectivity, authority, transnationalism, collaboration.

A 200-300 word abstract, accompanied by a 50 word biographical note (including contact details), should be submitted to by 20/07/2012. Papers should be 20 minutes long when presented, and will be followed by 10 minutes of questions.

Where: St Leo's College, The University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus, Brisbane, Australia.

Cost: $80 (includes catering)

Keynote speaker: Niall Lucy is Professor of Critical Theory at Curtin University, and co-director of the Centre for Culture and Technology. He is a member of the consultancy board for Derrida Today, and a member of the editorial boards for Fibreculture Journal and Cultural Studies Review as well as being a founding editor of the journal ctrl-z: new media philosophy. His latest book, with John Kinsella, The Ballad of Moondyne Joe, describes the nature and exploits of a colonial Australian folk hero, and he is currently at work on A Dictionary of Postmodernism, The Disorder of Things: Understanding Post-Structuralism, and a book about Perth punk. Niall is also a Chief Investigator on an Australian Research Council Discovery Project that examines the cultural history of popular music in Western Australia.

In Love

My little girls are beautiful. I'm not just bias because they are mine. They are really beautiful.

We were at some friends house on Saturday night. They have a son, Sonny, who is around 4 years old. He is so cute, a very good looking child. He and Abby took right to each other. They were just two Gap Kids in a pod. It was late so Sonny's mom set up two easy chairs with pillows and blankets and we plunked them in front of the TV while the adults played games. After a few minutes, they were leaning over onto each others chairs. A few minutes later, they were playing baby and daddy and Abby was casually strewn across Sonny's lap, arms around his neck and he had his arm slung around her back holding her and staring into her eyes. It was straight out of an Abercrombie ad. Grr... My first thought was, "What the hell?!" But then, they are toddlers and they have no idea how inappropriate they look. We let it go. It only got crazier throughout the night. We were rolling in our seats as we watched them faun over each other. Abby is in love with that kid. I would have gotten pictures but I was laughing to hard.

Herbrand’s Fundamental Theorem: The Historical Facts and their Streamlining

Por • 31 may, 2014 • Category: Ambiente

Using Heijenoort’s unpublished generalized rules of quantification, we discuss the proof of Herbrand’s Fundamental Theorem in the form of Heijenoort’s correction of Herbrand’s “False Lemma” and present a didactic example. Although we are mainly concerned with the inner structure of Herbrand’s Fundamental Theorem and the questions of its quality and its depth, we also discuss the outer questions of its historical context and why Bernays called it “the central theorem of predicate logic” and considered the form of its expression to be “concise and felicitous”.

A formally verified proof of the Central Limit Theorem

Networks of Military Alliances, Wars, and International Trade

Por • 31 may, 2014 • Category: sociologia

We investigate the role of networks of military alliances in preventing or encouraging wars between groups of countries. A country is vulnerable to attack if some allied group of countries can defeat the defending country and its (remaining) allies based on their collective military strengths. We show that there do not exist any networks which contain no vulnerable countries and that are stable against the pairwise addition of a new alliance as well as against the unilateral deletion of any existing alliance. We then show that economic benefits from international trade provide incentives to form alliances in ways that restore stability and prevent wars, both by increasing the density of alliances so that countries are less vulnerable and by removing the incentives of countries to attack their allies.

Canciller Patiño dijo que Senado de EEUU busca patrocinar a la oposición

El canciller ecuatoriano, Ricardo Patiño, rechazó los “intentos injerencistas” de otros gobiernos en las políticas y asuntos internos de Venezuela que buscan crear “desestabilización en el país”. Esto lo declaró desde Ecuador, luego de la reunión de cancilleres que se desarrolló en ese país.

The Anthyphairetic Revolutions of the Platonic Ideas

Por • 30 may, 2014 • Category: Filosofía

In the present work it is shown, by an examination of the Platonic dialogues Theaetetus, Sophistes, Politicus, and Philebus, that (a) a Platonic Idea is the philosophic analogue of a pair of lines incommensurable in length only, (b) the Division and Collection, the method by which humans obtain knowledge of a Platonic Idea, is the philosophic analogue of the palindromically periodic anthyphairesis of this pair, and (c) a Platonic Idea is One in the sense of the self-similarity induced by periodic anthyphairesis. A byproduct of the above analysis is that (d) Theaetetus had obtained a proof of the Proposition: The anthyphairesis of a dyad of lines incommensurable in length only is palindromically periodic. It is further verified that the concepts and tools contained in the Theaetetean Book X of the Elements suffice for the proof of the Proposition.

Algorithmic identification of probabilities is hard

Por • 30 may, 2014 • Category: Educacion

Suppose that we are given an infinite binary sequence which is random for a Bernoulli measure of parameter p . By the law of large numbers, the frequency of zeros in the sequence tends to ~p , and thus we can get better and better approximations of p as we read the sequence. We study in this paper a similar question, but from the viewpoint of inductive inference. We suppose now that p is a computable real, but one asks for more: as we are reading more and more bits of our random sequence, we have to eventually guess the exact parameter p (in the form of a Turing code). Can one do such a thing uniformly on all sequences that are random for computable Bernoulli measures, or even on a `large enough’ fraction of them? In this paper, we give a negative answer to this question. In fact, we prove a very general negative result which extends far beyond the class of Bernoulli measures.

Bohm’s approach to Quantum Mechanics and Individuality

Por • 30 may, 2014 • Category: Ciencia y tecnología

In this paper we discuss the role of the individual in the Bohm theory, according to which a particle does appear to have an individuality, but one that is significantly different from a classical particle. In contrast however, Ladyman and Ross (2007) interpret an in-depth discussion by Brown, Elby and Weingard (1996) as implying that the properties normally associated with particles (mass, charge, etc.) are inherent only in the quantum field and not in the particles. Brown, Sjoqvist and Bacciagaluppi (1999) themselves are somewhat ambivalent suggesting that it might not be unreasonable to assume that in the Bohm theory properties such as mass and charge also reside in the particles (cf. French 2011 and French and Krause 2006). This suggests that whether or not particles are individuals in non-relativistic quantum theory is a genuinely open question in a stronger sense than Ladyman and Ross imply. After an appraisal of this discussion we go on to discuss the nature of Bohmian individuals in more detail, by considering the issue in the light of new developments in the underlying mathematical structures, due to de Gosson and Hiley.

A quantum-information-theoretic complement to a general-relativistic implementation of a beyond-Turing computer

Por • 30 may, 2014 • Category: Leyes

There exists a growing literature on the so-called physical Church-Turing thesis in a relativistic spacetime setting. The physical Church-Turing thesis is the conjecture that no computing device that is physically realizable (even in principle) can exceed the computational barriers of a Turing machine. By suggesting a concrete implementation of a beyond-Turing computer in a spacetime setting, Istvan Nemeti and Gyula David (2006) have shown how an appreciation of the physical Church-Turing thesis necessitates the confluence of mathematical, computational, physical, and indeed cosmological ideas. In this essay, I will honour Istvan’s seventieth birthday, as well as his longstanding interest in, and his seminal contributions to, this field going back to as early as 1987 by modestly proposing how the concrete implementation in Nemeti and David (2006) might be complemented by a quantum-information-theoretic communication protocol between the computing device and the logician who sets the beyond-Turing computer a task such as determining the consistency of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. This suggests that even the foundations of quantum theory and, ultimately, quantum gravity may play an important role in determining the validity of the physical Church-Turing thesis.
