Thoughts on Apple Mac Pro vs GCP/AWS for Deep Learning?

I've been oogling the Mac Pro from Apple with loaded specs. Check it here if unfamiliar.

I'm curious to hear anyone's thoughts of the computer for deep learning/machine learning applications vs cloud based computing. Obviously, a flexible solution on GCP or AWS has the ability to scale and therefore produce results faster. However, I'm mostly interested to hear thoughts on the economics of purchasing the machine vs renting a cloud based machine.

If we assumed something like a 5 year lifetime of the Apple Mac Pro for this type of computing (before the chips/processors become immensely slower than the newest chips used in the cloud), that would be like $1000 per year amortized using the Mac Pro. Does it make more sense to rent from AWS/GCP for \$1000 per year as a renter instead? I don't have much experience in the cost of AWS/GCP so I'm looking to here an answer from anyone well versed in cloud computing.

The Mac Pro uses AMD GPUs. These don't support CUDA, but instead support the OpenCL framework.

TensorFlow, the most popular deep learning library, uses CUDA to run on GPUs, although OpenCL support is in the works. That said, one of the main approaches to OpenCL support, SYCL, isn't planning to support OSX:

We have no plans to support OSX in near future. I know sad face.

The current advice is to avoid AMD GPUs:

Currently, if you want to do DL and want to avoid major headaches, choose Nvidia.

A Mother’s Day Gift + Giveaway With IncrediBundles

This post is sponsored by IncrediBundles. As always, the thoughts and opinions shared here are 100% honest & my own!

Mother’s Day is right around the corner! Is it just me or have all the holidays snuck up on us this year?

Either way it goes, I’m very excited to celebrate this special day, not just for myself but for all the wonderful mothers I know!

I am truly blessed to have THE BEST mother in the WORLD, and I am surrounded by so many beautiful and encouraging maternal figures in my life. I am also rejoicing with the mama’s to be, and am excited for anyone who may be celebrating this special occasion for the first time!

Everyone seems to get a bit frantic about finding the right gift for that special lady in their life, and whether you are still looking for something suited for that new mom, your sister, a co-worker or a friend, IncrediBundles has options for everyone!!

Incredibundles offers a line of incredible (ya see what I did there, lol) baby essentials and products that cover any parents wants or needs. In addition to the pampering (whether real or imagined), and pretty things (hint, hint hubby!), I love to think of what’s practical!! Those are the gifts that truly keep on giving!

This is a re-usable storage box!

Do you know a mom who is short on diapers? Looking to build their library of children’s books? Searching for organic items to add to their nursery or crib? You can select a pre-made one-time bundle, or a years worth of select items such as diapers, books and the best mix of sensory and educational toysYou can even create a custom bundle which is exactly what I did!

High up on my Mother’s Day wish list would be to have my daughters play together without fighting for a whole 15 minutes. Seriously!! So I selected items that were age-specific (yes, they have preschool-aged options!), but that I believed they would both enjoy.

My youngest immediately gravitated towards the Peter Rabbit book and stuffed animal, while my 5 year old honed in on the bouncy ball and Melissa & Doug Shape, Model and Mold. By the end of the evening they’d rotated everything several times, and it was a joy for me to see them peacefully interact.

I love a place with a variety of items to choose from, and IncrediBundles is going to make a lot of mommy’s happy this year!!

I’ve enjoyed our box so much that I’ve partnered with them to give one lucky winner $50 credit to use for their shopping needs!

Visit this post on Instagram for all the details!

What would you like for Mother’s Day??

Please note: If Mother’s Day is difficult for you due to loss, being in a season of waiting, or something else, please know that I’m praying for you and you are loved!

On Veterans Day

“you must endure hardship as a good soldier…”

2 Timothy 2:3

It’s Veterans Day today, one of my favorite days of the year, although it feels kind of weird to say that about what is, in many ways, a somber day.  In many countries it’s known as Armistice Day, Remembrance Day, or even Poppy Day as a day on which the ending of World War I is honored.  So it’s hard to think of this day without thinking of that war, and the many that died.

Several years ago my family visited the National World War I museum in Kansas City, Missouri, and I haven’t been able to look at the Great War the same way since.  Bomb craters and poppies.  That’s what I think of.

Missouri (531)

Missouri (496)

Missouri (526)

But in the U.S., in 1954, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, and in contrast to our Memorial Day, when we honor the fallen, Veterans Day is a day on which we honor all who serve or have served.

And that’s what I love about it.  Because I find myself thinking about the many people I know who have served ~ my father, a couple uncles and great-uncles, a few cousins, and several friends.  And since all these people are ~ thankfully ~ still living, I get to appreciate them in person, or email them or send them thanks via facebook.  So that’s nice.

The other thing I love about Veterans Day is that I find myself thinking about the families of veterans, too.  I’ve known a few women, over the past twenty years, whose husbands have been deployed, and I’ve seen what a sacrifice it can be for the whole family.  Veterans Day makes me appreciate a lot of people.

Fortunately, a person can’t run out of thankfulness.

~ “when you offer a sacrifice

   of thanksgiving to the Lord,

        offer it of your own free will.” ~

Leviticus 22:29

Something Old, Something New

” with joy and songs”

Genesis 31:27

I instigated a very interesting conversation on facebook a couple weeks ago. It was the day after Thanksgiving and I was all set to fire up my Christmas music when I started to wonder what I might be missing. My Christmas collection is vast and varied, but there’s not much that’s new.

So I posed a question to my fb peeps, asking their favorite Christmas music. And they answered. A lot of them. They named artists or albums they couldn’t live without, and individual songs without which the season wouldn’t be complete. And they named songs that have been covered by different artists, but which symbolize Christmas for them, no matter who sings it.

There were the classics: Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole and … And there were newer artists who bring a fresh approach to familiar songs. There were choirs and soloists and instrumentals. There were simple, childlike songs like the Little Drummer Boy, and glorious, lofty, soaring epics like Handel’s Messiah and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite.

I explored a lot of new music after reading all their answers.  I went online and listened to things, and learned a little and bought a few.  I’ll admit there were a few times when I listened and thought, “What does she see in this??” or something similar.  But mostly, I opened my mind and saw something intriguing in what was new to me.

Traditions are awesome, aren’t they?  Customs and beliefs that connect us to previous generations, and ways of introducing our children to the people that came before them.  But also true is that variety is the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor.  (William Cowper)

Perhaps you’re struggling, as some do this time of year, with the impossibility of Christmas being as it “should”.  Someone can’t come home, someone else insists on some tradition that crashes headlong into one of yours… The wrong foods, the wrong weather, the wrong home… Try to think of it not as a Christmas tradition not being fulfilled, but just as a variance.  A divergence from the preferred and an experiment into something new.  Worst case, you’ll broaden your horizons a little, and maybe give yourself a laugh in years to come as you roll your eyes and shake your head and say to a loved one, “Remember the year we did that??”

Best case?  You’ll stumble upon some new tradition and find that all along, Jesus was there, too.

Psalm 138

~ “Oh sing to the Lord a new song!

Sing to the Lord, all the earth.” ~

Psalm 96:1

African Americans in Law and Politics

African Americans in Law and Politics

On November 4, 2008, Americans went to the polls and elected the first black president in the history of the United States. Barack Obama was clearly a gifted politician with impressive achievements and a compelling life story. Still, his historic election wouldn’t have been possible if earlier generations of African Americans hadn’t paved the way. This book tells the stories of pioneering African-American lawyers and politicians. It details their efforts to guarantee black people the same rights enjoyed by other Americans, including the right to vote. In courtrooms, statehouses, and the halls of Congress, the people profiled in this book have helped make the United States what the framers of the Constitution hoped: “a more perfect Union.”

Limoncello Alcohol Content Calculator: Find the Perfect Balance

Limoncello Alcohol Proof/Percentage Calculator

I get a lot of questions about how to dilute limoncello to a certain proof, or alcohol percentage. So I created this calculator to help you reach the proper strength. This is actually at least the third iteration of this calculator that I have published over the years.

The top portion of the calculator labels say ML but it works the same regardless of the measurement used. So if you enter your quantities in liters, the answer will be in liters as well. This calculator is useful for dilution of any homemade liqueur, not just limoncello.

For the bottom portion, the ML does matter because of the Brix/sweetness calculation. This new version also has limiters in it, so if you’re trying to do something impossible it stops you.

[…] The next step is to make a simple syrup (sugar water). Most cocktail simple syrups are usually 1 part sugar and 1 part water. The sweetness of simple syrup and the amount added can greatly impact the end result. For this project I used a 2:1 ratio for my simple syrup. I used 3.5 cups sugar and 7 cups water. After cooling this yielded about 2 liters of simple syrup, which I mixed with 700ml of filtered extract (I lost about 50ml in the Brita filters, coffee filters, and random drips and spills). I was aiming to make about five 500ml bottles of 60-70 proof final product. Also, I used this Limoncello Calculator. […]

[…] to geek out and make sure you get your limoncello in that 26-32% range for alcohol content, then website LimoncelloQuest can help. The site provides a calculator that quickly figures out how much simple syrup to add to your […]

My Current Favorite

by in Blog Posts, Food & Nutrition December 7, 2016

Eggplant: In addition to featuring a host of vitamins and minerals, eggplant also contains important phytonutrients, many which have antioxidant activity. Known as brain-food, beneficial for cardiovascular health and free radical protection, eggplants can be found in your local grocery store throughout the year, with peak season between August and October.

Additionally eggplant is low in calories and high in fiber, and can be prepared very easily for many flavorful dishes.

  • Puree with seasonings ad use it as a dip for vegetables or as a sandwich filling
  • For homemade babaganoush, purée roasted eggplant, garlic, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil.
  • Mix cubed baked eggplant with grilled peppers, onions and garlic and top with balsamic vinaigrette.
  • Top sliced eggplant with a mixture of feta cheese, pine nuts and roasted peppers and bake in the oven.
  • Add eggplant to any stir fry dish

OR try my new favorite:
Greek Eggplant & Quinoa Bowl (serves 2-4, depending on how hungry you are!)
Prepare 1/2 cup organic quinoa.

Cut eggplant into bite sized squares. Set aside.
Dice a medium sweet yellow onion and 2-3 garlic cloves.
Place the onions and garlic into a cast iron skillet until they begin to caramelize (turning that pretty brown color and enhancing the sweetness of the onion).
Add the diced eggplant, fresh black pepper, 1 tbsp of Greek seasoning and the juice of 1/2 a lemon – cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 12 minutes.
Add 1 tbsp of capers and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Top quinoa with the eggplant mixture and 1-2 tbsps of crumbled goat or feta cheese.

This is just so delicious, healthy, quick, easy to prepare and if you are lucky – makes enough to have the next day for lunch!!

Eat well, be well…

Feelings. I Have Them.

Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.

                             — Zooey Deschanel

I know everyone has their opinions on Zooey Deschanel (I dedicated a whole post to it) and just women in the entertainment industry in general, and I wanted to write a big post today completely unrelated to any of this, but I read this quote and I felt like it was everything I have wanted to say and believe and share for most of my sensitive little life.

I can breathe in this quote for a while, because, like Zooey and also like my soul sister in Mean Girls who doesn’t even go here, I just have a lot of feelings.

We can blame it on the cold weather making me more sensitive, or we can all make another joke about women having crazy hormones that make them feel too much, or my sentimental heart, but sometimes I just want to drop all my cool cards and tell everyone that I feel things! And I can’t stop feeling them! And maybe I feel them too much! And maybe I love everything too hard and too much! And maybe I am very affected by good songs, baby animals, the way christmas lights look through the car window when you’re driving at night, a chapter from book whose words hit you square in the chest, and a sweet text message that I didn’t know how much I needed! And maybe I should stop feeling so much and loving so much and so often! And stop sharing my feelings with people I barely know, like at the grocery store when the deli lady simply asked you how your day is going and you let her know you’re afraid of adulthood!

Or maybe not.

Maybe I just need a nap. Or a stack of pancakes. Or to figure out how to not let myself get so wrapped up in little stresses.

Or maybe I should just feel things, no matter how messy or out of place or obnoxious they might be. Maybe I should just love things and forget about all the rest.

Or maybe I should just share a cup of coffee with Zooey, because lord knows I’m ‘quirky’ enough.

  1. You know that your ol’ college roommate will always understand. She has a lot of feelings too. Love you.

  2. Your post literally had perfect timing when I opened it tonight. I have a lot of feelings, but I am learning that my feelings are not too much, but rather what makes me beautiful.

Goals // Week 30: Resettle

This week I’m coming back to a schedule that feels more like normalcy and safety than I’ve been able to work for a very long time. I’ve missed having control over how I allocate my time and choosing the work I want to concentrate on or produce. This week I get to have a little more of that again and it makes all the difference toward increased morale.

That isn’t to say this week won’t be a difficult one. I have a big project on my plate and many meetings and deadlines on the calendar. I have virtual training sessions to attend, and a new class of employees getting ready to train, and a to-do list that will take me well into next week even if everything stays smooth and right.

But this is the work I have always done. I don’t feel anxious or incompetent. I don’t feel incapable or alone. My team is supportive and helpful, and my part is but a small piece in our grand scheme. The pressure is spread evenly and there is time enough for everything I need to do.

Still, just to keep the stress levels down, I’m not making any big changes this week. I’m not cultivating new habits or chasing radical shifts in perspective or productivity. After so much uncertainty and so much time away, I need to resettle into reality. This week I’m focusing on the boring, the background noise, and the basics of life. I’m looking for contentment, for good enough, for ordinary.

This week I will:

Keep the vacation frame of mind. Last week I spent ample hours away from the internet, from the chaos and confusion of the pandemic, and the tragedy of the daily news. I remembered that there is more to the work than what is splashed across my screen and the rest gave me a chance to rejuvenate and refocus, but my heart and mind can’t wait around another year to recover again. I have to find a way to step outside of myself and my life to a place where more than just human struggle and strife exist. I have to find nature, find wonder, disconnect, reconnect, and, finally, see.

 Not just be mindful, but also willful about how I spend my time. I’ve been fighting fatigue and malaise to very little success these past few months and falling farther and farther behind where’d I’d hoped to be by now, but I think the solution is much easier than I’ve begun to imagine it would be. The simple truth is I haven’t been doing my best and if I just try to do that much and nothing more, I think I could turn this year around. So, even on days when there is so little time or energy to give just use what little you have. Nothing very big has to be accomplished. I only have to be present and choose.

Get back to my “52 essays” project. I started the year-long posting challenge a couple of weeks ago, but after just one post, life quickly got back in the way. I’m disappointed and reluctant to try again now that I feel I’ve already failed, but I know that if I ever want to reach my goal, the best thing to do is to get right back to work. I know that writing is what I love. It’s the only thing I can create from myself alone and give to the world and no matter how small, or ugly, to bad my little words and writings are they are so important for me to share. This project is more than a goal, it is self-care.

Keep up on medication and meal schedules. My health has been improving though by only the most infinitesimal increments and only when I am 100% compliant in taking my medication and supplements and eating the right kinds of foods, in the right portions, and at the right times of the day. It’s been a long road of trial and error, successes, and failures, and I am still so far from where I would like to be, but if I just stay with it I know I’ll get there. I owe it to myself to care enough, to remember, to commit to the work of healing.

Read. I had hoped for more reading time while I was away, but the desire to unplug and the desire not to weigh down my bags made it impossible. While we were up there, I did find a neat independent bookstore and managed to come home with two new additions to my already overflowing bookshelf. I can’t wait to get to them, but first I have to make it through others that have been waiting far longer. This week I’d like to do more than read books. I have an embarrassing number of articles saved. I’d like to make progress there too.

Try yoga, both for a light workout, for mindfulness practice, and to relax. Running and weight lifting are still my workout types of choice but both have been putting too much stress on my body but rather than let my muscles atrophy and undo all the benefits I’ve earned, I’d like to find something easier on my bones. I’d like something that’s conducive to a calming climate and keeps my immune system from going haywire. I’m starting with a few Sun Salutation sequences in the morning and a few Moon Salutations at night. Nothing strenuous or stressful.

This week I will not be too easy on myself. Normally I have the opposite problem, but looking back over the last few months I have struggled to hold myself accountable to any number of expectations. I know, I know, I needed the rest. I needed the time to adjust. I needed it to be okay not to know what to do and not to want to do it when I did, but life is moving on and I have to get on with coping, with changing, with growing and sooner rather than later. Tomorrow is uncertain, scary, unpromised, but today is here and now. How will I choose to meet it?

10 Simple Activities to Keep Your Toddler Active And Busy

Being a housewife and tending to a toddler is no cake walk. You are expected to excel in both the domains, enjoying the best of both worlds. While attending to your duties and responsibilities of a housewife, your infant is always under the danger of hurting himself in the absence of adequate surveillance. That causes you to be worried and hyper-cautious all the time without getting a moment of relaxation at all. Most of you then succumb to the ultimate option of hiring a nanny to take care of your child, in a better way. On the other hand, as an alternative, you can keep your toddler right in front of your eyes by keeping him actively engrossed in some activity. Meanwhile, you can continue doing your chore knowing that your toddler is engaged in some activity right in front of your eyes or across the next room. Here are ten ways to keep your toddler active and busy so that he does not land himself in any trouble and save you from unnecessary troubles.

Toddler Active And Busy

  1. Separating colored candies

Place several colored candies on a plate. Ask your two-three year old to separate the candies according to their colors and place them in separate bowls. For example, the green colored candies should be in one, while the yellow ones should be in another. Be sure that the candies are not of larger size so that if and when swallowed causes no trouble to the child. This activity is not only a very fun based work to do but also ensure the enhancement of the motor skills of the child.

Toddler Active And Busy

  1. Playing with toy-car

While this might come across as a fairly typical plaything, but there is a little newness to it. Take a thin tape and tape it in a square across one of the tiles of the floor in the room. Ask your child to play with his toy car or so along those lines. Make it very clear to him that he must not diverge from the pasted track even by a little and in case of doing so, should start the ‘journey’ with his car all over again. That will help him in understanding rules of a game and add to his motor skills.

Toddler Active And Busy

  1. Non-toxic modeling clay

Put chunks of non-toxic modeling clay of various colors in front of your kid. Ask him to try and make objects or animals from that clay. Besides that, ask him to weave a little story about all the things and characters separately or include them in one single story. By weaving a story the child would learn comprehension skills. This would be one creative way to keep your toddler active and busy while you can look after your work.

Toddler Active And Busy

  1. Coloring

Give your three-year-old plastic crayons and huge white sheets with large simple figures already drawn on them. Ask him to fill in the colors. Teachers at schools use this method widely, though the purpose there is more to teach them the art of coloring. Apart from trying to impart a sense of colors that go with various things, it also ensures enhancement of the motor skills of the child. Ask him to stick within the boundaries of the figure while coloring.

Toddler Active And Busy

  1. Puzzle

Children love puzzles. Adults love puzzles. Everybody loves puzzles. The bigger and time consuming your work is, the bigger the puzzle should be. The pieces must not be too small as children often tend to put things in their mouth. Keep the floor absolutely clean where your kid would spread all the pieces of the puzzle and then solve the mystery.

Toddler Active And Busy

  1. Blocks

Blocks have been looked forward to as the best plaything for toddlers. They can be made into as a building, as an animal or an ice cream. Children enjoy playing with blocks. Leave them with it and they won’t bother or pester you with their frequent demands and complaints.  They are easy to get and play with. So next time, when you would be looking to engage your child with something that would be fun and not cause you worry, get hold on the plastic blocks.

Toddler Active And Busy

  1. Cleaning project

Toys everywhere and no time to clean! Well, ask your little one to assist you in that. Get big cartons and ask him to put the soft toys in one of them while the plastic ones in another. That would not only reduce your workload but also inculcate in your child the practice of keeping his things in order if followed on a regular basis.

Toddler Active And Busy

  1. Alphabet chain

Make an alphabet chain on the floor. Ask your toddler to go on a scavenging hunt and look up for goods whose name starts with each of those alphabets. For example, he should fetch an apple for alphabet A and so on and so forth. This would be just like homeschooling your toddler and that too without the clichéd method of sticking to the pictorial description in a book. Though this does involve a little of your involvement. Your kid might go off limits in trying to be excellent in his performance and digging up goods for every alphabet while that may not be in his reach.

Toddler Active And Busy

  1. Masking tape

This works well with the one-year-olds for they are still very little and incapable to be indulging themselves in activities which a two or a three-year can do. Get a masking tape and leave a small edge of its open so that your child is able to grab hold of it. Just show him a couple of times as to how to pull it out. That would keep him busy and soaked in the work. It is a non-messy activity and will cause no harm to your child or the objects around. But once he is done with his task and all the tape is out, you will have to help him a bit in getting it off himself. Or you could also stick portions of the tape on a table accessible to your kid and ask him to take it off.

Toddler Active And Busy

  1. Craft

This method can be alternated with the coloring technique. Place colorful, square and little origami papers on a board. Show him how to stick the green ones in a ladyfinger or the yellow ones in a banana which would be already sketched on the paper. Use Fevistick for it is a safe adhesive. Explain the procedure to your kid and then he is good to go. This might call for some work on your behalf but once you are done with your bit, you would be able to carry on with other chores of the house in a better way.

Implement and share these simple yet effective ways to keep your little ones busy without constantly attending to them.

I do not want to digress but look up the definition of "vector"
in a dictionary and you'll see _overloaded_ meanings, and those
meanings were invented before computer science.

Ok, I've had enough bike-shed debates. As I said, I'll leave
it up to the authors to do the right thing.

Well (c) is in place, (a) can be easily written if you know what to test and

Yes. In a cpp file sort_impl would just be
void sort_impl(
    mpl::at<sort_args, _1>::type& begin,
    mpl::at<sort_args, _1>::type& end,
    mpl::at<sort_args, _2>::type& f) {
        std::sort(begin, end, f);

The idea was the each element of the tuple would be like a
dynamic_any::any object
with operations on several elements like f(*begin, *next(begin)). So, in
my example
deref_result<_1> is a placeholder for the type of *begin. I think it
would be defined something
struct deref_result : placeholder {};

I'm not sure about the functions. Single functions should be defined
almost like
what you already have except that there would be many placeholder types.
groups of functions like random_access_iterator need to be made possible.
template<class T>
struct random_access_iterator : compound_concept<...> {};

A similar effect could be achieved by simply putting a boost::tuple in a

If the number of types is really fixed then variant would be a better
solution, I would think.

The method I suggested before:
  template<class Operation, class T>
  struct overload;
allows all the variations associated with T to be loaded the first time
the constructor of dynamic_any::any runs.

Probably to make the lookup
efficient for large numbers of functions, some dynamic loading would be
needed anyway (unless there is some trick I haven't heard of for getting
a unique integer from a type at compile time). What I currently have is
not very efficient. It takes about 60 ns. per dispatch for all possible
combinations of a ternary function with 4 types (a total of 64). Compare
to the single dispatch case which only takes about 6 ns.

In Christ,
Steven Watanabe

[permaculture] heritage peach tree preservation

dwoodard at becon.org dwoodard at becon.org
Mon Jul 10 19:36:50 EDT 2006

Are any of the trees fruiting this year? If so you could save the seed
and plant it.

I think you would want to save seed from as many of the trees as possible
and try to reproduce the *population* if you can.

Alternatively you could make root cuttings. You dig up a bit of root, cut
a section out (I don't know how much, maybe 8 inches) and plant it
vertically (top just ubder soil level I would guess; I've not done it
but only read about it in a general way) with the end that was pointing
toward the trunk, pointing up. I don't know what the seasonal restrictions
are on the time you do this.

If you have access to one or more seedling peach rootstocks of suitable
size, you could bud it or them to your heritage peaches that you want to

A standard book on propagation should cover the root cutting process.

Instructions on grafting and budding can be found in many sources. One of
the most complete and authoritative is "The Grafter's Handbook" by R. J.
Garner in several editions. There are a lot of copies floating around in
libraries, or see
http://www.bookfinder.com .

The buds require to be of a certain degree of maturity, which Garner

The bark of the rootstock has to be slipping when you bud. To prolong the
period of bark slipping if needed you can promote vigourous growth in the
rootstock by

* watering generously starting several weeks before budding and continuing
for several weeks after.

* fertilizing with nitrogen a few weeks before budding. I have used fresh
cow manure.

* shocking the rootstock out of any tendency to start its entry into
dormancy earlier than you want, by pruning; removing branches bearing 1/4
to 1/3 of its leaf area about 3 weeks before budding.

The tricks above also help get a good take and good development of the bud
on the stock.

I only did this once, when I had to bud a stock with buds from an area
where the normal budding (and bud maturity time) was a couple of weeks
later than where the recipient rootstock was. It worked very well.
I think it might be useful if the recipient rootstock is under stress or
not growing well.

Fertilizing and watering the tree(s) that are supplying the budwood might
also be useful. I would recommend it if you are in any doubt about the
vigour and health of the source trees. Similarly for taking root cuttings.

I suspect that your season may be long enough so that you don't need to
worry about prolonging the period of bark slipping unless your only
possible recipient rootstock is in poor shape.

You may be able to get advice from your state university extension
department or from a local nurseryman.

Are you sure that your peach trees are actually 120 years old, or is it
just that they have seeded themselves from a stand that was started 120
years ago? The rings will tell, if you have a stump. The oldest peach tree
I have seen here was about 35 years old and was really showing its age.
However we are at the northern limit of commercial peach growing here
and the trees do get damaged in some winters, which gives canker an

When you say that a peach tree from France "was used as the rootstock"
do you mean that this tree from France supplied the seed that the
existing trees grew from? It's not clear to me that you are using the
word "rootstock" in the way that horticulturalists usually do, to indicate
a small tree on which ones propagates vegetatively a bud or scion (length
of small branch, often pencil size or not much bigger), joining two pieces
so that the cambiums link and grow together. Budding is usually
favoured for peaches rather than conventional grafting.

I think your project is worthwhile, but how valuable it eventually turns
out to be depends a lot on the merits of the original cultivar from
France, and on the selection (through generations of seedlings) that the
line has undergone since - if any.

Dear All,

The Essex Summer School (University of Essex, UK) will again offer and introductory and advanced course on Social Network Analysis.

1)      Introduction to Social Network Analysis<> (2 weeks, 10-21 July 2017)

The course focuses on the description and visualisation of social network data using UCINET. We will concentrate on uncovering structural properties of the network (e.g. density, homophily, and clustering), as well as on how to identify important persons in a network (e.g. degree centrality, structural holes, ...). We will also pay attention to the detection of subgroups and deal with basic hypothesis testing for social network analysis. Throughout the course some classic theories that focus on network processes (e.g. related to homophily, centrality measures, structural holes, Granovetter's strength of weak ties and small worlds) will be discussed.

2)      Advanced Social Network Analysis: Cross-sectional and longitudinal SNA<> (1 week, 24-28 July 2017)

This module covers advanced statistical methods for analyzing social network data, focusing on testing hypotheses about network structure (e.g. reciprocity, transitivity, and closure), and the formation of ties based on attributes (e.g. homophily). The first three days provide an in depth discussion of exponential random graph models (also known as ERGM or p* models). We then introduce longitudinal models such as RSiena models (SAOMs) and relational event models.

Review | My Life Among the Apes, Cary Fagan

My-Life-Among-the-Apes_largeCary Fagan’s My Life Among the Apes was longlisted for the 2012 Scotiabank Giller Prize and it’s easy to see why. Fagan’s stories are striking, the subtlety of his language enhancing the emotion within the human relationships he explores. Two of my favourite stories in the collection feature the public space of a diner, and the connection between people who interact seemingly on the most casual of levels. In “I Find I Am Not Alone on The Island,” a waitress forms a lifelong bond with a favourite customer whose name she doesn’t even discover until he dies. In “The Little Underworld of Edison Wiese,” a waiter who takes pride in his job despite the crappy working conditions spends an unusual New Year’s Eve at work. The unexpectedness of lasting connection is what makes these stories so lovely. The moment when the waitress, years after having left the diner, feels the need to share a literary allusion the customer had mentioned to her in passing, hints at a far deeper significance. And the scene where the waiter realizes the importance of his job is heartwarming.

My favourite story, “Wolf,” is about a Jewish man who returns to Germany to visit his granddaughter. Seeing a Holocaust memorial, all he can think of to say to his granddaughter is that he doesn’t feel qualified to judge it. How can he, how can anyone really, express such an experience? The tension between history and the present simmers throughout the story, inflecting his visit with much that is left unsaid. It’s a powerful story, and the ending makes you wish to read more, even as you feel the story had ended on a perfect note.

Oddly, it was the title story I found least affecting, about a bank manager who finds comfort in his obsession with Jane Goodall when he has to do a difficult task. The writing was good, but the story felt disjointed, and at the end I was, like one of the characters, utterly unmoved.

Overall however, the collection is a strong one. The simplest of details — a violin in “Wolf,” a lost magic trick in “The Floating Wife” — take on much significance, and Fagan’s writing teases your mind with so much that is deeply felt, but left unsaid.

Thank you to Thomas Allen for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review | The Maladjusted, Derek Hayes

I12859621n the title story, a man is so terrified of leaving his apartment that he lowers a basket with cash from his fourth floor fire escape landing to pay the pizza delivery guy. “I have a mental illness,” he explains whenever people give him strange looks.

Such characters form the stories in Derek Hayes’ compelling collection The Maladjusted. These individuals go beyond awkwardness — some are painfully shy, others deeply insecure — and many seem acutely aware of the confidence with which others approach the world.

In the book blurb, Martin Amis calls Hayes “a talented new writer from Canada worth keeping an eye on,” and it’s easy to see why. Hayes’ stories are snappy and engaging, yet full of compassion. One of the first rules taught in writing classes is to show, not tell, and Hayes’ stories prove why this rule works. His prose is straightforward, yet restrained. His stories give the impression of presenting everything the narrator sees and thinks, while still holding back on so much more going on.

In “That’s Very Observant of You,” probably my favourite story, a woman regularly orders takeout Chinese from a restaurant with an attractive waiter.

“No, I’m not eating here. I always get takeout.” She smiled nervously and said, “My friend is waiting for me outside.” [p. 39]

Except she goes straight home, and when invited by a neighbour to a party, pretends she has evening plans with her sister. Truth is, she eats the meal while watching a video, the volume turned down low so her neighbours don’t realize the truth. “Her fingers rubbed grease into the folds of her flabby belly and legs” and she wishes her sister, the “only person in the world who loved her” was with her [p. 41].

In the hands of a lesser writer, this woman could have been a pathetic, maudlin mess. In the hands of a different type of writer, the story could have been a caustic take on the social pressure to conform, or perhaps on this odd woman who refuses to admit she’s alone. Instead, with Hayes, we get a figure so real, we can almost picture her in front of her TV. We get a character depicted with such vivid detail that she inspires compassion while having too much dignity to deserve pity.

The smallest detail means a lot, and the smallest shift in character behaviour implies so much more. The characters are on the fringes of society, or otherwise so screwed up that they’re unlikable, and yet Hayes manages to make them all feel real, and in making us feel something for them. I absolutely loved this short story collection, quick reads suited for the subway, with characters that will resonate long after you’ve arrived home.

Thank you to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review | The Redheaded Stepchild, Kelly I. Hitchcock

Kelly Hitchcock’s The Redheaded Stepchild is an impressive collection of short stories that moves back and forth in time to chronicle the strained relationship between Cady and her stepmother Katrina. It’s difficult to categorize Stepchild as either a novel or a short story collection — while each story stands alone, all the stories combine to form a cohesive narrative thread. I love the dual meaning in the book’s title — Cady is certainly a redhead and a stepchild, but the title also clearly refers to the colloquial use of the phrase “redheaded stepchild,” meaning someone treated worse than both biological children and other stepchildren.

This is certainly the case for Cady. We are treated in the first story to Cady at twenty, home from college and dropping by Katrina’s hair salon. When Cady admits her father hasn’t confided in her about his problems, Katrina reacts with disdain, declaring that Cady should “learn to communicate better with him.” Considering that Katrina herself hadn’t spoken to Cady’s father in a while, Cady understandably gets her hackles up: “I was still his oldest child. […] To [Katrina] my father was nothing more than a worn-out lover.” Unfortunately, Cady is too meek to stand up to Katrina, and instead ends up flustered and intimidated.

This dynamic pretty much characterizes their decade-long relationship, as Hitchcock chronicles it. Hitchcock works well with dialogue, juxtaposing Cady’s awkward, hesitant phrases with Katrina’s biting jibes. We see Cady’s emotional outbursts beside Katrina’s coldness. This is especially evident in “Pageant,” where Cady has her heart set on singing an original composition for her final high school pageant, and Katrina tears her down, saying Cady should instead stick to her usual cover of “Concrete Angel.” I don’t mean to paint Cady as a total victim, because she’s not. The best part of Hitchcock’s stories is that the emotional core is actually rather subdued, so that we sympathize with Cady rather than pity her.

The book as a whole speaks about Cady’s struggle for confidence and independence, for freedom not just from her cold-hearted stepmother, but also from her small-town life. With this in mind, I think Hitchcock’s decision not to tell Cady’s story chronologically works really well. I admit being a bit confused at the beginning — Hitchcock only notes Cady’s age after each story, and I didn’t like not being told how old Cady was up front. That being said, once I got into the rhythm of the book, it became easier to tell, if not how old Cady was exactly, at least at what point in her life we’re seeing her. She does develop as a character, and it’s great to see the subtle shifts in her concerns and her confidence level as she does. The first and the last stories work particularly well in framing Cady’s tale — set just a year apart, we see a marked difference in tone, and we can appreciate this because of all the stories in between.

While much of the focus is on Cady and her stepmother, I also liked reading about Cady’s siblings — by this, I mean her biological ones, since she feels more of an older sister protectiveness towards them. In one of my favourite scenes, Cady comes across an old school paper by her younger sister Teresa from 1st/2nd grade. Filled with spelling errors and an endearing backwards “e”, Teresa writes about how “Cafrin” is her hero. That story ends with Cady telling her father she goes by Catherine from now on, and that just about broke my heart. I love how strong the bond between the sisters is, and I love how Hitchcock used small details (the backwards e, a forgotten apostrophe) to evoke so much.

The Redheaded Stepchild is a touching, sweet book. It’s the small details that get you, and while Hitchcock sometimes has a tendency to go overboard with the emotional scenes, the stories overall do tug on the heartstrings. A very good book.

Thank you to the author for a finished copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

PSYCHOBABBLE TODAY Parenting Magazine (Quiz): Are You Ready for Parenthood?

1. Your toddler screams bloody murder in an upscale restaurant, causing disapproving glances. Do you:
a. Get on the long waiting list for that moody teenage babysitter, Cruella, with the scary, bulging eyes.
b. Talk loudly about how children are God’s little blessings, with the perfect right to self-amplify and co-exist on an equally lateral plane of humanness. Then pop more Xanax and get plastered.
c. Cry.

2. Your four-year-old kicks you hard in the supermarket. Do you:
a. Roar, in your most fearsome Hulk voice, “DESIST!” (For added emphasis, burst out of your clothing!) It might not know what “desist” means, but you’ll scare the bejesus out of it, and anyone within earshot!
b. Talk about how you understand its need to disengage from effortful control via self-exploitative, pseudo-neediness at this difficult time. How mommy/daddy is so sorry for causing such upset. And perhaps, if it lets you, you could work in tandem with its assimilation, vis-à-vis, self-regulative, bilateral hostility?
c. Cry.

3. Your six-year-old squirts mustard over Aunt Mabel during dinner. Do you:
a. Hand it a soapy sponge and ask it to clean Aunt Mabel.
b. Effusively praise the result, comparing it to Pollock. Say it’s perfectly okay to self-manifest, using food as its medium, on the family home and any dinner guests.
c. Cry.

4. Your eight-year-old daughter bites the family dog, an easy-going pit bull named Timmy. Do you:
a. Buy her a chew toy, and enroll her in an obedience class at Petco. If the biting continues, “encourage” her towards other activities, like being shot from a cannon, or, if you can afford it, a one-way trip to Mars.
b. Talk about her need to self-project in whatever way she sees fit. However, emphasize that though Timmy might be a lower creature, he’s still family. So perhaps, to avoid injury—say, having her throat ripped out, which would then disable her from further self-projection—she should be kinder to the dog.
c. Cry.

6. Your ten-year-old threatens to kill you in your sleep if you don’t buy her the latest iPhone. Do you:
a. Realize sleep is no longer an option. Then what? The solution is obvious. Buy her an iPhone!
b. Talk about her need to negate variably from you. Ergo: her mindful dissociation that stems from this form of anticipatory coping, and how it’s obviously your fault she feels this way. Moreover, if your parents had refused to buy you the latest iPhone, you’d probably want to kill them too. Nevertheless, maybe she could self-dissuade. Then buy the iPhone!
c. Forget crying! Buy the goddamn iPhone!

7. You catch your fifteen-year-old trying to sell your Adderall to his friends. Do you:
a. Warn him the revamped formula has peculiar side effects on underage boys, and within a short time, their penises will disappear and their by now itchy, rash-covered testicles will swell to the size of coconuts. Underage girls will grow a penis—BUT IT WILL BE SMALL!
b. Tell him you comprehend his desire to generate finances beyond his miserly allowance. You truly appreciate his action potential and understand he’s drive-driven, and if entering the pharmaceutical industry proves to be his growth trajectory, commensurate with this oft-complicated thing called life, that’s fine with you.
c. Cry.

8. Your pregnant, MEAT-LOVING, forty-year-old daughter appears at your one-bedroom apartment, with yet another skinny, banjo-playing boyfriend. This one has a serious overbite, the breath of one-thousand farts, and a curious obsession with kangaroos. Accompanying them are her nine kids, two dogs, three cats, and a vicious ferret that tore a hole in your cheek last visit. She expects to stay for the summer. Do you:
a. Say you have a rare, HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS form of Zika virus, whereby your head will eventually shrink to the size of a walnut–before exploding. According to your doctor, the explosion ALWAYS occurs when there are houseguests.
b. Give them the run of the place. Because it’s her normative right that she should self-claim, in your stereotypical problem space of conflict avoidance. However, as boss of your kitchen, you only serve VEGAN!
c. Cry.

9. Your deadbeat, fifty-year-old son moves into your basement. Do you:
a. Release a sixty-pound raccoon into the basement. Should he get all “snuggly” with it, try offloading them on distant (Australian?) relatives (check quarantine laws!), or sucker friends. If they refuse, release more raccoons. One is bound to want to eat him.
b. Give up! Some contextual risk factors, such as psychological trauma (plainly caused by you!) is why he’s never worked or had a girlfriend. On the bright side: With all those crazy, fun-loving raccoons living in your basement, there’ll be parties, party hats, and much merry-making—ALL YEAR LONG!
c. Cry.

Beagle Tells All! It Was Dad’s Fault!

Dear Readers –

Beagle here.  Mom recently shared a video tape of my Daddy playing ball with me.  I could do that all night long!  Of course, I need a break sometimes to catch my breath, but it’s tough work to chase that ball with my short legs.

Now I know this will embarrass Dad, but it was entirely his fault the ball got away.  Yes, his fault (uh, Mom – does Dad read this?  He does?  Uh-oh).

So here I am with the ball.  I don’t know why Dad’s trying to take it away from me.  I’m not done killing it enough!  I don’t understand why he doesn’t throw it fast enough for me either.  Helllllllooooooooo Dad – I’m tired of the excuse that I won’t give it to you to throw.  Just throw it, will you?  But don’t take it away yet.

Okay, okay already – you can have it.  Now will you throw it?

Hey – what just happened here?  Dad let the ball get away!  Can you believe him?  He finally gets the ball and he lets it roll over the edge.  Sheesh man – you couldn’t just hang onto it and throw it?  WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?  (Oops.  Sorry Dad.  Didn’t mean that.  You’ll still throw the ball for me, won’t you?)

I don’t know what he was thinking.  He’s just sitting there looking at the ball, like he can’t believe I rolled it off the deck.  And then he laughed at me!  He laughed and told me – TOLD ME – it was all my fault.  IT WAS NOT.  (Mom said to stop the capitals if I ever expect to get a ball thrown again.  Can you believe she’s such a crab?).

Well, there was only one way to fix Dad’s problem.  I mean that problem.  I mean the ball that was carelessly rolled off the edge.  It was up to me to fix the problem and fix it I did.

I love it when Daddy throws the ball for me.  I love it love it love it.  But Dad – be more careful next time, will ya?

Hugs and kisses.  Ick!  No hugs.  No kisses.

The Beagle.  Please.  Do NOT hug me or kiss me.  Eeeeew!

[Editor’s note:  The beagle has been quite the tattletale this year.  More of his stories can be found at:

Get Out Of The Garden!

Magic Shower Water (she made me take a shower!)

Play Ball!

I hope you enjoy reading his side of the story – remember though that his view is quite biased as to who was right and who was wrong.]

  1. Uh-oh, Dad’s in the dog house again. I’m glad you’re obedient and stopped using all-caps. Not cats, caps. Maybe your mom will let you keep using her computer. Watch the drool, though. That might not be a good thing.

    • Patti – what did you write to my dog? He’s sitting in front of the computer with a big grin on his face, although I did think there was a flash of a squirrel tail (?) as I walked up. For some reason, he’s now asking for cats to chase.

  2. Haven’t been on much since June; traveling a lot to care for elderly aunt. Never seem caught up! But Jaimie loved all the pics!! I enjoyed the story. :)

Schedule Now

Cardiac catheterization is a procedure that diagnoses and treats a number of heart defects. You can count on us to deliver exceptional cardiac catheterization services. We’ll care for your child’s heart with all of ours.

Why Choose Us for Your Child's Cardiac Catheterization Care

  • Less invasive –  We work to create a treatment plan that's least invasive for your child, with the goal of leaving a band-aid rather than a scar.
  • More experience –  Your child will benefit from our experience — we perform more than 500 cardiac catheterizations each year and have implanted 80 transcatheter pulmonary valves with excellent outcomes.
  • Less radiation –  We’re leaders in limiting your child's radiation exposure during catheterizations.
  • Advanced technology –  Our state-of-the-art laboratory and facility give you access to advanced technology and equipment, all in an environment designed especially for kids.
Dr. Brent Gordon
“We offer the newest technology and minimally invasive therapy for any person born with congenital heart disease. This allows us to treat premature infants all the way up to adults living with congenital heart defects.”

What is Cardiac Catheterization?

Cardiac catheterization is a technique used to diagnose and/or treat certain heart conditions. The technique uses a small, hollow tube called a catheter. The catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, normally through the leg or neck.

When used to correct congenital (birth) heart defects, cardiac catheterization carries lower risks, fewer complications and faster recovery time than open-heart surgery. For young heart patients, this can mean a better quality of life and less time recovering in the hospital.

The procedures usually last a few hours and many of our patients are able to return home the same day.

Diagnosing Heart Conditions with Cardiac Catheterization

Cardiac catheterization will tell us a lot about your child’s heart. We check the pressure in each of the heart’s chambers and blood vessels, sample oxygen levels in these different locations, and take pictures (angiograms) to better define any problems that may exist.

The angiogram starts with injecting contrast dye into the different parts of the heart and blood vessels. The pictures are recorded with x-rays which can then be used to help us determine any heart problems your child may have.

Treating Heart Conditions with Cardiac Catheterization

With cardiac catheterization, your child can avoid open-heart surgery. We can correct problems using a balloon catheter or a wire mesh tube called a stent. Depending on your child’s condition, we may perform:

  • Balloon valvuloplasty - Used to open a narrowed heart valve (aortic or pulmonary stenosis).
  • Balloon angioplasty - Used to open narrowed blood vessels.
  • Stent placement - Used to open up and support narrow blood vessels.
  • Device closures - Used to close holes or communications within the heart wall (atrial or ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus).
  • Heart valve placement - Used to replace congenitally abnormal heart valves.

Your child's cardiologist will explain the plan for treatment of your child's condition, including which device will be used and what you can expect from the procedure.

Special Offers From Mr. Cooper

Sorry, there are no offers available at this time. Check back soon!

Contact Mr. Cooper in Bernalillo, NM

Busy? Have us call you back. Call Me Back

More Information

Prequalify for a Mortgage in Bernalillo, NM with Mr. Cooper

Let's make your home ownership dreams a reality. As the nation's third-largest home loan servicer, Mr. Cooper is equipped to guide you through the home ownership process. Mr. Cooper in Bernalillo can be your home loan ally, whether you're looking for a conventional home loan, a Federal Housing Administration loan (FHA), or a VA loan. There’s a lot you can do with Mr. Cooper in Bernalillo — including learning more about finances in general and learning about your credit score.

We know getting a mortgage can feel overwhelming, particularly when you're a first-time home buyer in Bernalillo, NM. Give us a call to see how it applies to you. Here's what you need to know in the meantime.

Conventional loans are a popular choice for Bernalillo home buyers and are actually one of the most common mortgage options. These loans are not federally insured. The government backs other home loan types, while private lenders like Mr. Cooper back conventional loans. A couple of key benefits of a conventional loan could include favorable interest terms and various term lengths.

Depending on your situation, you may want to consider another type of home loan that's available to many Bernalillo home buyers. It's called FHA. FHA loans are also called Federal Housing Administration loans. They're backed by the U.S. government. When compared to a conventional loan, an FHA loan generally has less restrictive credit requirements and often allows for a lesser down payment. Ask Mr. Cooper about FHA loan requirements in Bernalillo today.

Only service members, veterans, and their spouses can receive a VA home loan. If you're getting ready to buy a home in Bernalillo and are a veteran, surviving spouse, or an active-duty service member, you could qualify for a VA loan. At Mr. Cooper, it's our honor to help our nation's veterans, active-duty service members, and their families realize their dreams of home ownership. Due to the uniqueness of this home loan option, we encourage you to call a Mr. Cooper mortgage professional to learn more about VA loans in Bernalillo. Get Started

Mr. Cooper Refinancing in Bernalillo

Mr. Cooper offers mortgage refinancing in Bernalillo in addition to new home loans. Refinancing your home loan means that you pay off your current home loan and replace it with a new one that can better meet your financial needs. The new loan could come with a shorter loan term, a more favorable interest rate, or both. Most of the time, the goal of refinancing is to get a lower interest rate and reduce your monthly payment (so you can spend more time and money making your Bernalillo home just the way you want it!).

Similar to how there are different options for new home loans, there are also different options for refinancing. One option is to refinance to get a better interest or loan term. Another option is cash-out refinancing.† This option lets homeowners leverage the equity they've built in their house as cash to pay for things like home remodeling or higher education. Cash-out refinancing can also be a way to consolidate debt, since you can tap into your home's equity and use the cash to pay down credit card debt, medical bills, or auto loans.^ Mr. Cooper in Bernalillo can help you learn more about refinancing and choose the right refinance option for your situation.

Was wondering why this song – which rocks – didn’t get much airplay. Then I saw the video. Least it’s a good song.

Always kinda surprised by the people that marry their high school sweethearts.

If I married my high school/college girlfriend, woulda had one totally miserable person here in NYC.

I wouldn’tve been too happy either.

People go through massive changes from 15-21, again at 25-30, and once again at 30. The issue arises when one person changes one way and the other, another.

Elizabeth Gilbert said it best, Marriage is not a game for the young. Janeane Garofalo said someth’n like, imagine being married to the person who’s sole qualification was that they had the locker next to yours.

Been having a series of parallel conversations with three different people. Alla them’re very prouda the fact that they’re the same person as they were in the past.

But suppose y’believe the earth is flat. And despite all evidence to the contrary, your answer’s that you’ve always believed the world’s flat and that’s just how it’s gonna be.

(Insert your favourite George W. Bush joke here)

Said once that being grateful is the key to not being broken. Lemme add the coda that it’s also a willingness to say, OK, tell me why you think I’m wrong.

Put another way, why should the beliefs of a 16-year-old – when my buddy decided on something – rule the mind of a 35 year-old, his age now?

Are you better or worse if y’can say, I value the acquisition of knowledge above all else?

On yet another related point, become a man without a political party. The choice seems to be between a group enamored of their own ignorance and another inhibited by their own incompetence.

Gonna write in my mom as a candidate next year; if nuthin else, she’ll stay until the job gets done and save taxpayer money by bringing her own coffee.

  1. i like the post. some things i'm just starting to learn now… paradigm shifts. But I'm one of those. Friends tell me i'm the least jaded person they know, that i've changed the least since college. and i take pride in that… i don't ever want to become that cynic..

  2. "The choice seems to be between a group enamored of their own ignorance and another inhibited by their own incompetence." Sadly, so true. Well said.-R

  3. YM – well, I think that's a personality thing and that's most likely ok to keep static. But surely things have changed since then, yes? You've acquired some new insight or knowledge, I'm sure.Anon – thank you, I rather liked it myself.
