Ash Wednesday 2014 by Barbara Zeman

Homily Date:

Wed, 03/05/2014

We begin Lent in the name of God … our creator, redeemer and life giving Spirit.  As we come together I ask you to reflect on what is in a name.  Some of the many names we use to reference the Divine are Yhwh, Divine Source, Holy Spirit, The Way, the Truth, The Life, Emanuel, God with us.

When I was first given the task of reflecting on a chapter in Tich Nhat Hanh’s book, “Together we are one”, I was overwhelmed by the thought of it.  How do I impart to this community the concept of oneness … a concept that, while so simple … so sublime, is at the same time, inexplicable? How do I even ask the question – what is your true name?  Tich Naht Hanh once said “We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness.”

I have personally been pondering that statement for 30 plus years.

Who are we really?  What is our true name? As the Beatles song goes … I am you and you are me and we are all together.  I don’t know what the bards of my time were smoking or what hallucinogens they were on but they touched on Eastern mysticism and came to the realization that we are all connected.  In 1974, even, Gracie Slick, and the Starship sang about it. I've heard circles moving right through corners
 and they don't even know they've been around and around and around before. Ringing, ringing against each other on a singing chain like a flying magnet hyper drive has never seen any reason to remain the same.

It is the difference between East and West, between Hierarchical knowledge and relational knowledge.  It is the coming together and rending apart a knowingness that tugs at the very core of our being.  Is it thinking in circles rather than in a straight line?  Or, perhaps, in its simplicity, it is just becoming aware of the truth that Jesus imparted to us on the cross? “Abba, into your hands I commend my Spirit.” The only way home is surrender.

Thay, as Tich Naht Hanh is known, says it is possible to be at peace if we pierce through our false reality, which is based on the idea of life and death, to touch the ultimate dimension in Buddhist thinking, in which energy cannot be created or destroyed.  If this is so, Jesus energy was not destroyed on the cross, rather, it is transformed for all to see.

When we recognizie the inter-connectedness of all life, we can move beyond the idea that we are separate selves and expand our compassion and love for ourselves and for those who we call ‘other’.

In our diversity, we find unity.

 When I was young, I just knew what I knew.  I didn’t know why or how. Over the years, I have written poems about it. One of them comes from my 23 ‘year old’ self.

Truth and all its far out schemes hangs naked on the rails of the crib blowing bubbles at the threshold of a dream.

Another poem comes from the me of today.

There is a door, a door that leads no one knows where, a door that deacons come … Step over my threshold. Enter into the nothingness that stir the void. Touch the space that hldes the Divine. Open to the possibilities that make all one.  Bless creation with newfound wholeness.  The Divine does knock and the door we open.  What lies beyond? No one can say.  What lies within? The spark that lights the way.

‘Return to me … with all your heart.’ the Old Testament reading for today says. It later goes on to ask, ‘Who knows if God will turn and relent?’ I ask.  ‘Why wouldn’t our Divine Creator have compassion on us and help us to awaken to the awareness that we are all one?’  We cannot be separated from our source. Jesus knew this. He was sent by God to awaken us.  In fact, he gave his life to show us that, it isn’t about this world … this human life. His transformation manifest at Gethsemeni as he surrendered his humanity to the will of the Divine source, knowing that he would ultimately have to die to be reborn in God’s divine embrace.

When we understand that we are more than our physical bodies, that we didn't come from nothingness and will not disappear into nothingness, we are liberated from fear. Tich Naht Hanh says, “Fearlessness is not only possible but the ultimate joy.”

No!  It isn’t about duality … black vs white, good vs bad, man vs woman, life vs death but, it is rather about the black and white, the good and bad, the man and woman, in each and every one of us that bring a triumph over death … the surrender or our ego, our self.  When we come to a realization that we have always been and will always be, we will discover our true name.  We will be transformed.  And that name is Holy, indeed.

BH 1.65.0-1

The BH package on CRAN was updated today to version 1.65.0. BH provides a sizeable portion of the Boost C++ libraries as a set of template headers for use by R, possibly with Rcpp as well as other packages.

This release upgrades the version of Boost to the rather new upstream version Boost 1.65.0 released earlier this week, and adds two new libraries: align and sort.

I had started the upgrade process a few days ago under release 1.64.0. Rigorous checking of reverse dependencies showed that mvnfast needed a small change (which was trivial: just seeding the RNG prior to running tests), which Matteo did in no time with a fresh CRAN upload. rstan is needing a bit more work but should be ready real soon now and we are awaiting a new version. And once I switched to the just release Boost 1.65.0 it became apparent that Cyclops no longer needs its embedded copy of Boost iterator---and Marc already made that change with yet another fresh CRAN upload. It is a true pleasure to work in such a responsive and collaborative community.

Changes in version 1.65.0-1 (2017-08-24)

  • Upgraded to Boost 1.64 and then 1.65 installed directly from upstream source with several minor tweaks (as before)

  • Fourth tweak corrects a misplaced curly brace (see the Boost ublas GitHub repo and its issue #40)

  • Added Boost align (as requested in #32)

  • Added Boost sort (as requested in #35)

  • Added Boost multiprecision by fixing a script typo (as requested in #42)

  • Updated Travis CI support via newer

Via CRANberries, there is a diffstat report relative to the previous release.

Comments and suggestions are welcome via the mailing list or the issue tracker at the GitHub repo.

This post by Dirk Eddelbuettel originated on his Thinking inside the box blog. Please report excessive re-aggregation in third-party for-profit settings.

Berlin Festival 2011, Boys Noize
Berlin Festival returns to Tempelhof Airport on the 9th and 10th of September with Boys Noize leading the pack.

Having called off last year's event in the wake of the Love Parade disaster, which happened just a few weeks prior, the Berlin Festival has resurfaced with expanded efforts in 2011 with the additional Club Xberg program at Arena. On the Friday, the club leg will host a trio of local label showcases, including one by the electro-pop imprint Greco-Roman. Here is also where the bulk of the festival's DJs will perform, including the likes of A-Trak, DJ Hell, Diplo, Brodinski, Mr. Oizo and Jimmy Edgar.

Over the two days Tempelhof will mostly host bands with an electronic edge, such as Battles, Apparat (with his band), Hercules & Love Affair, The Rapture. Mount Kimbie lend their pensive bass to Friday's bill along with James Blake, whose melodic bass-inspired pop has managed to breach both underground and popular music circles. On Saturday, Berlin-based Boys Noize, Dial Records artist Pantha Du Prince and African kuduro-tech outfit Buraka Som Sistema break up the otherwise indie and pop-heavy affair.

The Tempelhof program will run from noon until midnight over both days, with Arena opening at 11:00 PM and carrying things on until morning.

Third Circuit on Section 5 Basis for ADA Title II in Prison Context

Today, the Third Circuit issued this opinion in Cochran v. Pinchak. By a 2-1 vote, the panel held that Congress lacked power under Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment to apply Title II of the ADA to cases involving irrational disability-based discrimination in the prison context. Judge Alidsert wrote the majority opinion, joined by Judge Fisher. Judge Scirica wrote the dissent.

This decision opens up a 2-1 split in the circuits regarding the Section 5 basis for applying ADA Title II to prison conditions cases. Cert. petitions are currently pending in cases from the Ninth Circuit (in which the court of appeals ruled for the plaintiff) and the Eleventh Circuit (in which the court of appeals, like the Third Circuit here, ruled for the defendant) on that issue. (Disclosure: I'm one of the counsel for the private petitioner in the Eleventh Circuit case.)

Garrettsville – In celebration of its 60th anniversary, the Charles Auto Family invites the community to join them for a day of fun, food and prizes. Deejay Jason Adkins will oversee the festivities from 10 am to 4pm on Saturday, September 16 at the dealership, located at 10851 North Street in Garrettsville. The Portage County Dog Warden, Jungle Terry Show, The Bob Golic Live Radio Show (WNIR), Mark Angelo Balloon Art, and hourly Cash Cube Drawings will round out the schedule, as visitors reminisce with the Charles Auto Family over hot dogs, brownies and beverages.

The year was 1957. Amherst native Charles Abraham, one of 12 siblings from a poor immigrant family, had just worked his way up to being one of the top car salesmen in northeast Ohio. His decision to purchase his own dealership in Garrettsville eventually ushered in a new era of development in this small rural community, helping to build and develop the Garfield Plaza.

Click to view slideshow.

Charles didn’t stop there. His entrepreneurial and philanthropic efforts brought many benefits to the community. Among his many outreach efforts were the contribution of the family meeting room at then Robinson Memorial Hospital; supporting the Garrettsville Police and Fire Departments; and donating the Holy Family Shrine to St. Ambrose Church.

Charles instilled his sense of service into his son, Bruce; the current owner of the dealership. Bruce has continued his father’s work by supporting local youth sports leagues and education programs throughout Portage County and surrounding areas. He also has continued to support several programs his father helped establish, like the Hattie Larlham Golf Classic that takes place annually at Sugar Bush Golf Course.

If you were standing in front of the current Art & Flowers, a local downtown flower shop, during the late summer of 1957, you would be looking into the original showroom of Charles Chevrolet-Oldsmobile. It was Charles’s first big venture, having left his brother’s dealership to establish his own. Commuting more than an hour from Amherst, “My dad didn’t plan on staying long in Garrettsville,” Bruce recalls. “He nearly moved the dealership back to Amherst, but he realized he loved this town too much to leave it. He drove 70 miles each way every day. He was so dedicated to this community, he held every office in town except mayor.”

The dealership stayed at that location for eight years before moving to the current site in 1965. “This was just a mix of residential land, swamp and fields before we broke ground here,” Bruce remembers. The plaza went in around the same time, with the hardware store as the anchor.

Over the years, the dealership has grown and undergone many changes, including renovations and the addition of new brands. However, one thing has stayed the same… the sense of family throughout the business. It was always vitally important to Charles — and still is to Bruce today — to ensure that everyone is treated like family…customers and employees alike. Charles passed away in 2011, but Bruce and his family are proud to carry Charles’s legacy forward. The family business Charles started 60 years ago now has reached its third generation, with Jimmy in finance and Tommy in detailing.

The most recent changes at the dealership include the establishment last year of the detailing shop at the former Mark’s Automotive service center down the street, and the 2014 renovation that updated the look, feel, and technology in the dealership, equipping Charles Auto to ensure serving the area for many years to come.
“Even though this 60th anniversary means I’m getting old, I’m looking forward to spending time with families who have been Charles Auto customers for four to five generations now,” Bruce grins. “So please join us at the dealership on Saturday, September 16th as we celebrate our the customers… We know that without our customers’ patronage, we would not have been able to successfully reach this great milestone of 60 years in business.”

Charles Auto can be reached at or by calling (866) 419-9971 or (330) 527-2101.

Gozo may be small in size, but it has a wide range of shopping facilities. Most of these can be found in the capital, Victoria, where there are three shopping centers, Arkadia, The Duke and Tigrija Palazz.  Here you can find department stores, supermarkets, opticians, fashion and cosmetic shops, haberdashery, jewellers and cafes.  But don't miss out, take some time to explore the older parts of Victoria, and you will be well rewarded. For the visitor there is much to browse over whilst looking for that holiday memento...

Craft items - where to buy

in Gozo visit the Crafts Centre in the Citadel, and Ta' Dbiegi Craft village at San Lawrenz - you will find the best range of goods at these places, but local crafts can be found in other shops and establishments throughout the islands.  Craft items, such as knitwear, lace and basketware have a long history are of great cultural value to the island.  The Arabs introduced cotton into Malta, from around 870, and along with it expertise in weaving and dyeing.  During the period of the Knights, Gozitan cotton linen was very highly sought after in Europe.  Silverware and filigree work is very attractive, and the Maltese gold and silversmiths are highly skilled at their craft.

Lace making

making lace is fascinating to watch; the pattern is drawn up on parchment paper and holes pricked to show where  the pins should be positioned to allow the linen 'lace' threads to be worked.  Priests encouraged lace-making in Gozo during the 19th century and before long lace-making spread to become an island industry.  Examples of lace were sent to the Exhibition of Industries held in London in 1880.  This art is usually passed from mother to daughter, and today you can still see women working their lace whilst sitting outside their houses.
filigree & silverware

there are many fine examples of antique Maltese silverware in museums, churches and private houses.  The Knights introduced the use of silverware at their hospitals, to help prevent the spread of infection, and there are many rare pieces held in private collections.  The craft is carried on in small workshops throughout the islands, and you will find a huge range of designs available for purchase at jewellery  shops and craft centres - look out the delicate and intricate filigree broaches.

Glassware & pottery

pottery is one of the most ancient of Maltese crafts, and dates back to the megalithic period.  You can find many household items and souvenirs such as candlesticks and decorative tiles and flowerpots made in the traditional way.  Glassware is entirely mouth blown and hand made, and comes in an array of colours and inventive shapes and sizes.  You can see glassblowers at work at Gozo Glass in Gharb.

the Islands have been renowned for the high quality of their cloth for centuries.  Today, fabrics are produced by hand and mechanised means.  Gozo produces a wide range of knitted garments, rugs and wall hangings.  You can find these for sale all over the island at very reasonable prices.

this is an old craft, developed for the needs of the fishing and agriculture industries.  The market in Independence Square, Victoria  usually have a good variety of these items, along with pieces in wickerwork.
things to eat and drink

there's a vast selection - try out Gozitan Thyme Honey, peppered goats cheese Gbejniet, nougat and the Maltese snack Pastizzi, filled with cheese or peas...or what about Gozitan Olive Oil or a bottle or two of excellent wine...

A while? You mean we're stranded?!
―Candace Flynn

"Swiss Family Phineas" is an episode of Phineas and Ferb.

The Phineas family becomes marooned after a summer storm shipwrecks them on an island, and Phineas, Ferb and Isabella use the opportunity to build a Swiss Family style tree house. Meanwhile, Candace tries to get them to build a boat so she can get back in time for Jeremy's party. After finding out what "big laundry" meant, Dr. Doofenshmirtz uses free monkey labor to boost a new laundromat business.

Episode Summary

Phineas, in a rain coat and hat, is shown steering a boat, he tells Isabella to raise the jib and asks Ferb if he has seen any sign of the great white whale, to which Candace tells them they better not be talking about her. The boat they are in is shown being pushed by a car and not even out to sea yet, which Linda questions them about and Lawrence corrects her saying it is not actually called a boat, but a sloop, and then he brings up other nautical terms. Candace alerts the family that she wants to hurry up with this boating because Jeremy is throwing a romantic summer soirée, which she doesn't want to miss. Lawrence then assures her that it will only be a three hour tour and Linda says she could use the time to sunbathe. Lawrence notices Perry is missing and Phineas tells him he left Perry with Baljeet.

Baljeet stops Buford from hurting perry the platypus

Baljeet stops Buford "motivating" Perr.y

Baljeet is shown staring intently a foot away from Perry and Buford walks up to him asking what he is doing. Baljeet informs Buford that he is watching Perry and that he promised to not take his eyes off of him all day, which Buford then finds boring and considers "motivating" Perry with a bat but Baljeet quickly stops him. Perry's communicator watch starts beeping and Buford and Baljeet look around to see what is making the noise causing Perry to swallow his watch to try to hide it, but it can still be heard from within Perry's stomach. Buford and Baljeet stare at Perry.

Phineas is doing his "king of the world bit" of which Isabella queried, and Ferb is swimming with dolphins like the dolphins. A buoy ahead with three flags is deciphered by Isabella as each meaning, crab season, hold the mustard, and Isabella is deciphering the last flag to mean storm warning, they float into a massive storm that blocks the sun making it dark to Candace's displeasure. Lawrence assures them that he can head them back to shore, but then several waves take over the direction the sloop goes and it is flung towards a whirlpool with Lawrence still sure he has everything under control.

O.W.C.A head quarters

O.W.C.A headquarters

Major Monogram's voice can be heard coming from Perry's stomach with Perry giving a distressed expression because Buford and Baljeet are staring directly at Perry with the voice coming from him. Buford comments that he thinks the noise is coming from Perry's stomach, Baljeet replies that he must be hungry and runs off to grab something for him to eat and Buford puts Perry across his shoulder. With Buford's back turned Perry shoots out his tongue a couple feet with his watch attached so Major Monogram can see him. Major Monogram asks what Perry's situation is, and Perry grabs his watch and angles it so Monogram can see Buford hugging Perry.

Monogram comments how terrible the timing with this was because they had just sent all of their field agents to sensitivity training. Realizing they were out of options, Monogram sends Carl in an ice cream truck.

Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Isabella, Linda and Lawrence shipwrecked on a deserted island.

Lawrence and Linda comment how the storm is clearing up, and about how terribly their sloop fared in it but everyone seemed fine except they couldn't find Ferb. They saw him buried upside down and tried to pull him up, but it turned out just to be his clothes, he walked over to Phineas and Isabella covering himself with a huge leaf to take them back, and Candace is seen pulling off a barrel from her head, which has an octopus under it, and lobsters and a fish under that. Lawrence tells Candace to find some food and his boys to build a shelter because they may be there for a while, which causes Candace to realize that she might miss Jeremy's romantic summer soirée, which causes her to freak out and Lawrence to calm her down. Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella head out and find a suitable place to build a shelter, and get right on it once they do, while employing the help of the local wildlife.

Monogram, over a monitor in Carl's ice cream truck, reminds Carl that nothing distracts kids like ice cream and he needs to distract those kids guarding Perry so Perry can get away and get on to his mission.

Buford and Baljeet are sad because they could not find Perry's platypus food but then they hear the ice cream truck and race towards it, leaving Perry to put on his fedora but before he could go, Baljeet runs back to bring him along making Perry eat his fedora to hide it. Baljeet puts Perry onto the ground to order as Carl gets Buford's order wrong and a door opens on the truck which Perry jumps in after coughing up his hat. Amidst Buford's screams Carl peels out causing Buford to realize he didn't pay and Baljeet to realize he didn't order, and that Perry is missing now!

Baljeet has lost perry

Baljeet thinks that he has lost Perry.

Carl brings Perry up to speed and tells him that he lost some time but Carl brought along the escape cone. The ice cream atop the ice cream truck fires away as a rocket with Perry on board, it sprouts wings and its cherry on top slides to Perry revealing a screen with Monogram telling Perry that Dr. Doofenshmirtz is up to something and he wants Perry to put a stop to it. Following a tracking signal Perry flies the ice cream to the same island his owners have been marooned on. His ice cream melts and falls and he freaks out and grabs the cherry which turns into a parachute and he glides into a volcano where Doofenshmirtz is looking at his watch angrily because Perry is late. Doofenshmirtz notices Perry is there and tells him he had a trap waiting for him but there is no time now so he grabs him and puts him in front of a screen where he projects his plan. He comments on how "a few schemes ago" he couldn't figure out what "big laundry" meant, well it meant for him to offer a free laundromat to the entire population of the Tri-State Area to bring all the local laundromats out of business, freeing up prime real estate locations for his newest franchise, the "Doofenshmirtz Institute of Evilology". He built the laundromat in the volcano on this island because of all the free monkey labor, he had to build a monkey-enslavinator helmet to do it but he only had to build one "because, you know, monkey see monkey do." While being distracted by a monkey putting the red clothes in with the white wash, Perry knocks Doofenshmirtz over with the red clothes.

Buford and Baljeet are putting up "Lost Platypus" posters when Buford asks why doesn't Baljeet just buy a new platypus, which gives Baljeet an idea.

Candace looking for some food in a hedge

Candace looking for some food.

Candace is walking around when a monkey kisses her, she freaks out and several monkeys grab her and fling her up into the shelter Lawrence told Phineas and Ferb to build, which appears almost as good as a mansion. Phineas gives Candace a tour which included showing her them giving a monkey a shower to the tune of the theme song. Candace freaks out again, asking why, if they went to all this trouble to build such a fancy shelter, didn't they just built a bridge back to town, a coconut powered hovercraft, or even a gigantic slingshot to shoot them back to the mainland. Candace storms off and walks into the unfinished emergency exit, which is nothing as of yet but is supposed to have a "whole slide thing that dumps you into the hot tub" but they were waiting on some parts.

Doofenshmirtz and Perry are fighting and Doofenshmirtz throws his shoe but Perry dodges and the shoe knocks the monkey-enslavinator helmet off of the monkey and they all realize whats going on and get angry. As Candace is racing off to tell her parents about the shelter, Phineas asks her if she wants a banana smoothie, Candace yells at them that they will get busted this time, and Phineas assumes that means no to the smoothie.

Perry ziplines into a tuxido

Perry ziplining into a tuxedo.

Perry is sliding down a line of clothes, as soon as he touches each outfit he is magically wearing them while the outfit before shreds behind him and jumps into Doofenshmirtz who gets knocked into his lifting machine which leads to a humongous washer, Perry gets a kick in and then jumps off leaving Doofenshmirtz to get washed and the monkeys use too much soap. As the monkeys start the washer Doofenshmirtz yells at them for using starch, the washer erupts in a wave of pink suds and Perry jumps onto an ironing board and uses it as a surfboard to sure the waves of pink suds erupting from the volcano. Seeing this, Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella think it is the volcano itself erupting and race away passing Candace and Phineas warns her about the "pink lava." Questioning pink lava, Candace turns around to see it and then runs. Lawrence is shown making the final pounds to their sloop when Candace, Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella race onto it bringing Lawrence and Linda with them and then waves of pink suds shoot their sloop homeward. Perry is shown water-skiing off of their boat.

Perry doesn't like his new friend

Perry doesn't like his little friend.

Buford and Baljeet are finishing making a fake Perry, but they are disappointed with the result. When Baljeet breaks down, Buford runs off leaving Baljeet on his own. Phineas returns home and is talking to Baljeet but Baljeet is trying to confess to losing Perry when Perry walks by and notices the Perry dummy. Phineas notices it too and figures Baljeet made Perry a friend and tells Baljeet how he knew he could count on him. Baljeet's eyes go wide as he falls to the ground and Perry angrily chatters at the Perry dummy.

Phineas: Oh, Perry stayed home. Baljeet's watching him.

Baljeet: I don't even get to...Wait...Where is Perry?

Perry's entrance to his lair

Perry did not enter his lair, due to Buford and Baljeet paying too much attention to where Perry is. Instead, Major Monogram sends Carl in an ice-cream truck equipped with the 'escape cone', where he briefs Perry through a cherry.

Memorable Quotes

Phineas: Ahoy Ferb, any sign of the great white whale?
Candace: You guys better not be talking about me!
Lawrence: When we're at sea, there's no right or left, only port and starboard.

Isabella: So which side has the restroom?
Lawrence: (laughing) It's not a restroom, it's—
Phineas: It's called the poop deck.
Lawrence: Well no, actually it's called the head.

Phineas: Really? 'Cause poop deck makes much more sense.
Major Monogram: You see, Carl, nothing distracts kids like ice cream. You need to get those 2 boys away from Agent P, so he can proceed to his mission.

Carl: (whilst saluting) Aye-aye, sir!
Major Monogram: Both hands on the wheel, Carl.

Carl: Sorry, sir.
Doofenshmirtz: Where is Perry the Platypus? He should've been here hours ago!
Buford: Gimme a vanilla-carmel cone.

(Agent P spits out his hat and goes up a chute on the ice cream truck)
(Carl rushes off with Perry)

Buford: Hey, he didn't charge me! Rookie mistake.
Candace: (imitating Lawrence) "Oh, Candace, go find us some food." (with normal voice) Yeah, like a quart of ice cream is gonna just drop out of the--(some strawberry ice cream falls on her head)
Lawrence: We may be on this island for a while.

Candace: A while?! You mean we're stranded!? That means we won't get to Jeremy's party before the sun sets! We'll be stuck here forever, eating rocks and bugs, then I'll have to marry a monkey and have monkey-kids and name them Xavier and Amanda! (She sobs)

Lawrence: And we'll love them anyway.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: That's right, run away Perry the Platy- (falls in washer) Oh dear!

Background Information

  • Candace breaks the fourth wall while the storm clouds come and she says, "OK, who turned off the sun?"
  • Doofenshmirtz Institute of Evilology abbreviates to D.I.E. D.I.E. is also the pronunciation of the anagram D.E.I. (Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated).
  • A wood carving of Ferb holding a pineapple can be seen in the main room of the tree-house.
  • Dr. Doofenshmirtz says he finally figured out what "big laundry" meant, but in the credits of "The Lake Nose Monster" he said it was referring to laundry he needed to do.
  • It is the second episode with Phineas' name in it (The Fast and the Phineas).
  • Ferb and Isabella were briefly wearing the same sailor uniforms that they wore when they were looking for Buford's pet goldfish Biff ("Voyage to the Bottom of Buford")
  • Buford saying "He won't know the difference" in reference to a new platypus may be a spoof of the episode this episode is paired with, "Oh, There You Are, Perry", where Phineas was able to tell the difference between Perry and all the platypuses in Danville even though the audience cannot tell the difference.
  • Second time Ferb loses his clothes. First was in ("Run Away Runway")
  • Since this was paired with "Oh, There You Are, Perry," they were both about characters (namely Phineas and Baljeet) worrying about Perry being lost.
  • Second time Doofenshmirtz wears a dress. He did it for the first time in "Gaming the System".
  • The clothes that Carl is taking from the laundry in his song are Monogram's common uniform and the Hawaiian shirt that he (Monogram) was wearing in "The Best Lazy Day Ever".
  • When Candace claims that ice cream will fall out of the sky, and then it does, she seems to mimic the arguments of the farmer and his wife.
  • At one point, Ferb is seen giving a monkey a shower, a reference to the show's theme song.

Production Information

  • to be added

  • When Isabella and Ferb were first seen, they were wearing sailor outfits. But when they are seen again and in the rest of the episode, they are in their normal clothes.
  • Candace shows her watch but after that, it disappears.
  • Candace opens a door and then walks out of the tree house, that Phineas and Ferb made, to crash to the ground. Then Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella walk out of that same door, except this time a balcony is there. But this may mean that they have already finished it and built a balcony on the door.
  • When Perry was dumping Doofenshmirtz in the washing machine, his hat was removed. But when he was next to the monkeys that were dumping soap and clothes, his hat was back.
  • It is not a good idea to raise the sail before and after you get in the water. The boat will start drifting away when you do that.
  • When Doofenshmirtz falls into the giant washing machine he is wearing a wedding dress that he fell into while riding the conveyor belt (and appears to be worn over his regular clothes), but after he falls into the washing machine he is seen in his underpants, a change that would have happened in less than a second. This, however happens after several rapid costume changes by Perry and Doof so it could presumably be the case that all of the rest of his clothes fell off.
  • Doofenshmirtz was talking with his mouth closed while in the washing machine.
    Error, pink teeth

    Candace has pink teeth

  • After Candace says "Oh Candace, go find us some food" Candace's lower teeth are the same color as her mouth.
  • After Isabella said "Storm warning!" she, Phineas, Ferb and Candace were absent and not heard during the shipwreck scene.
  • When Ferb comes naked, he has a leaf, but after dad said the boat was dangerous. The leaf isn't there.
  • 2nd time when someone says "Where's Perry?" and does something with it ("Oh, There You Are, Perry")

  • The Flynn-Fletcher family own a sloop christened the HMS Lindana as in Linda's song, I'm Lindana and I Wanna Have Fun! ("Flop Starz")
  • Candace still intends to name her children Xavier and Amanda. ("The Best Lazy Day Ever")
  • The activities in the full theme song still continue to try and be fulfilled, this time with giving a monkey a shower. When they give a monkey a shower, background music is played that matches its spot in the Phineas and Ferb Theme. Ferb even remarks by saying, "It had to be done."
  • Dr. Doofenshmirtz finally discovered what "Big Laundry" actually meant. ("The Lake Nose Monster")
  • One of the complaints Doofenshmirtz has for pelicans is "What are you, a bird or a garbage disposal?" In this episode, Phineas uses a pelican as a trash can. ("Mom's Birthday")
  • Ferb uses a turtle shell as a safety helmet, like when Phineas, Ferb and Candace used live turtles as the same. ("It's About Time!")
  • The giant slingshot that Candace thinks up was used in Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You! to get them off the island.

  • The Swiss Family Robinson - The episode and the title is based on Swiss Family Robinson.
  • Three hour tour - The family goes on a three hour tour just like on Gilligan's Island. This also foreshadows the shipwreck later in the episode.
  • Great white whale - Phineas asks Ferb if he has seen any sign of the great white whale, which is referencing the novel Moby Dick.
  • Titanic - Phineas can be seen doing a famous pose from the movie, Titanic, where Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) stands on the bow of the ship and shouts "I'm the king of the world, woohoo!" While Phineas imitates the pose, the background music from that scene in the film briefly plays. Also once the ship is repaired, Dad says, "Women and children first", the same thing Captain Smith said in the movie and during the real disaster. ("Women and children first" is a tradition maritime emergencies.)
  • Charles Ponzi - One of the three majors offered by the Doofenshmirtz Institute of Evilology is Ponzi schemes; one of the most infamous in recent history was perpetrated by Bernard Madoff. (The other two are mayhem and larceny.)
  • The "warm and cozy family room" has a bird perched on a circular swing that looks like the perches from the Enchanted Tiki Room.
  • Ronald McDonald Video Series' - Lawrence said control in the whirlpool the same way the famous mascot said in one of his videos in his video series ( the video when they went out to sea for treasure).
  • Three hour tour - The family goes on a three hour tour just like on Gilligan's Island. Candace's repetition of the phrase "a three-hour tour" mimics the theme song. This also foreshadows the shipwreck later in the episode.
  • Pinky and the Brain - also attempted to create a giant laundry operation on a tropical island, although in their case, the goal was to create a world-wide case of static cling.
  • Flinstones - When the gang was building the tree house the used a pelican's mouth as a trash can just like the Flintstones.
  • Ape Escape- Dr. Doofenshmirtz has to capture monkeys that are controlled by control helmets.
  • Cast Away - The family wake up and found themselves stranded on an island is similar to what Chuck Noland did.
  • The Abominable Snow Rabbit - Buford's treatment of Perry, telling him he will "hug him and squeeze him and never let him go" is similar to how Hugo the Abominable Snowman treats Bugs and Daffy in this cartoon short. This is also the catchphrase of Elmyra Duff in the Warner Bros. cartoon Tiny Toon Adventures.

First Culture

A historic event in the Adams Larval Ecology and Development Lab - we made our first larval culture!

We had to borrow beg and steal to get some of the supplies (note the shelves waiting to be filled) but we scrounged enough to spawn two sand dollars, Dendraster... mix their eggs and sperm together... and voila our first LARVAE!
Rutgers undergraduate, Ryan Buttone, transferring the culture.

Blue Ribbon for the Indispensable Ocean

GPO Blue Ribbon Panel of Ocean Experts - CEOs to activists

Today, a unique panel of business, government, conservation and academic leaders convened by the Global Partnership for the Oceans (GPO) has agreed on a global strategy for aligning ocean health and human wellbeing. USAID is a founding donor partner in the 140+ member Global Partnership for Oceans – a partnership committed to working together to solve the critical issues affecting the health of our oceans.

The Blue Ribbon Panel, which includes 21 global experts from 16 countries, emphasizes that without action to turn around the declining health of the ocean, the consequences for economies, communities and ecosystems will be irreversible. But there is good news: solutions exist that benefit both oceans and economies, according to the Blue Ribbon Panel’s report, Indispensable Ocean.

According to the panel, fragmented approaches that fail to consider social, political, economic and ecological relationships will fail to meet the complex challenges facing ocean health. The report calls for an integrated approach to ocean investment and emphasizes the essential role of public private partnerships.

The panel agreed that the Global Partnership for Oceans is a platform that brings together the multistakeholder support, technical expertise and finance needed to change the course on oceans.

The panel did not identify a “silver bullet” to resolving urgent ocean challenges. Instead, it proposes five principles to ensure effective GPO investments: (1) sustainable livelihoods, social equity and food security; (2) a healthy ocean; (3) effective governance systems; (4) longterm viability and (5) capacity building and innovation.

A rocky start

I'm not sure where September went, but I find myself in a new office in New Brunswick over looking trees donning the multi-hues of fall... as an new Assistant Professor at Rutgers's Institute of Marine and Coastal Science.

Have I finally settled? This is the illusive tenure-track faculty position - achieved! Like a barnacle cyprid, I'm testing out furniture arrangements before cementing it in place. I'm overwhelmingly excited and also overwhelmed - with the stuff to purchase, with living in a hotel and then finally moving (our sewer main was discovered broken less than 48 hours after closing!), with bringing personnel on board, and well, the whole thing. Hopefully, my rocky start will lead to a better over all hold as well. Right now, I feel woefully behind.

A new website is in the works. I hope to share it shortly!

Is Generation Z the Most Anarcho-Statist Communo-Capitalist Generation Ever? | Daily Mail Online

I remember the first time I met a “homophobe”. It was in high school, and the thing he told me was that gays were “fucking disgusting” and I was given no explanation for his reasoning. At the time, I tried to push back against this line of reasoning, though now I’d be somewhat inclined to agree. Finding out about things like bugchasing or the fact that most gay men have had more than 500 sexual partners in their lifetime has that effect on a person, but I don’t really care about the issue that much. I didn’t describe what he looks like, but I’m sure you have made an automatic assumption as to his age, race and religion. Write it down and then look at the list below. I’d be fully surprised if you get a perfect score.

My friend is:
Roughly 19

I was about 14 at the time, but by then I had met way more gay and bi kids than homophobes. None of the adults I met seemed to have much of a problem with homosexuals, or rather, they never vocalised it. This was the first time I have ever heard this, and it was from a 14 year old Maori kid. As of recently, I am hearing more sentiment along these lines, and the ones vocalising it are getting younger and younger.

Strauss-Howe’s generational theory always interested me, mainly due to people’s misunderstanding of it. “Millenials are destroying television!” “Millenials are killing the napkin industry!” “Why are millenials…” doing xyzabc to industry defghi, and other assorted clickbait titles come to mind. My first indication of their misunderstanding of the theory stems from their terrible definitions for certain generations. Clickbait articles like these try to evoke the image of the “Millenial” by painting them as this amorphous group of ‘young people’ when the reality is quite the opposite. The people that still think millenials are young are probably still surprised when you point out that 1980 was 37 years ago. The oldest millenial is nearly 40 years old. This point bears repeating.

The oldest millenial is nearly 40.

The misunderstanding, I think, is where they place the lower limit of Gen Y. Strauss-Howe’s theory posits that a generation is a roughly 15-25 year group of people who largely share the same cultural understanding and world view, based on the year of their birth or coming-of-age. This is not a hard limit; the start and end period of a generation is usually where people decide which gen they more closely associate themselves with. The most important thing that defines a generation is what that gen grew up with and what they rebelled against in their 20s. I’ve seen cut-and-dry definitions for ‘millenial’ range from “born between 1980 and 2000” to “if they’re younger than Gen X”. These are both very incorrect. Millenials witnessed 9/11, the Iraq War, the 2008 financial crash, and for some of them, the fall of the Soviet Union. Millenials grew up with NWA, the earliest version of Pokemon, they grew up with the earliest Final Fantasy games. Ask the kid born in ’96 what 9/11 meant to him, and he’ll say “I don’t know, I was 5 at the time.”

If it were up to me, the definition of millenial would be anybody born from 1980 to 1995. They’re an old and short generation, which grew up to experience one of the few times in world history where things were ‘peaceful’. There were conflicts, sure, but there were no real existential threats. Nobody was pointing a nuke at them. Nobody was waging a holy war against them. They were not driven out of their suburbs by whichever migrant group is the fastest growing at the moment. Millenials, therfore, ARE a special generation. They’re one of the only generations to experience this ‘peace’, and one of the only generations to have had their ‘peace’ ‘stolen’ from them.

This, I think, explains many of the afflictions associated to millenials. Their adoption of leftist ideology may have been born out of them seeing the Soviet Union die when they were children, then seeing their world degenerate ever since. They probably, subconsciously, conflate the two with each other. Who could blame them? If my childhood was awesome during a time when Communism existed, but my adulthood was bleak long after the world largely abandoned the very concept, I’d think that there might be something to it. Their safe-space mentality may have been born of this same thing. They were the first daycare generation and their childhood was ‘peaceful’. That ‘peace’ is a very unique thing that not many generations can be lucky to lay claim to. Good times create weak men, weak men create hard times, and so on. The Boomers were born in a similar bubble post-WW2. The difference is that the good times were swept out from under the Millenials when they came of age. The safe-space mentality is a manifestation of their want to return to the safety of the world they inhabited as children.

This isn’t to say that they want a literal safe-space where they can be children, shielded from adult consequences, even though it may sometimes seem like it. They just want the relative safety of their plastic childhood world so they can have a good 30 years like the Boomers had. A world that has been deracinated, sterilised, prepackaged and marketed to those of arrested development, where it was still seen as easy, purposeful and straightforward to progress in life. If I go to this university, I can get that job with this starting salary and I can buy it within this timeframe. That dream more or less shattered when they became of-age, and thus they degenerated with the world. They adopted either nihilistic or revolutionary outlooks on life, filled whatever other voids they had with materialism, and they became resentful of the world that had become, not fully realising that the world they used to inhabit never existed. And this isn’t to say that resenting the modern world is a bad idea; there is nothing wrong with resenting the west in its current form. The problem is where that resent is rooted. And this is why I define Generation Z as being born post-’96.

To those born post-’96, the world growing up was a world with purposelessness exposed bare. I was seven years old when Youtube was launched. I was eight years old when Final Fantasy XII was released. I was nine years old when Pokemon Diamond and Pearl were released. I can remember listening to The Lonely Island’s “I’m on a boat” in primary school (I cringe whenever I’m reminded of this). I vaguely remember the events of Benghazi, I followed along with Syria since it started, and I remember the 2015 New Years Eve mass molestation as though it happened half a year ago. I remember a fundamentally different world to those of the Millenial generation. It’s quite an experience seeing Europe go from being barely talked about in negative terms to seeing very regular terrorist attacks occuring there while you’re still in high school. I can only imagine the image 15 year olds have of Europe. But being this young, you don’t have nearly the problems your elders have in identifying the causes of certain ills, or in vocalising them. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if we really were the “most socially conservative generation since the Second World War,” though I would personally use a different word.

‘Conservative,’ in this context, is a misnomer. Some argue that they are more socially liberal and fiscally conservative, while others argue that they are the opposite. This can get extremely confusing, especially when your only real source is a Gen X or Millenial researcher speaking on behalf of Gen Z. I would say that neither is the case, and that ‘conservative’ implies that there’s anything worth conserving at the moment. You know what I would like to conserve going forward? The quality of my Pokemon games. My ability to flip on flat ground. My physical and mental health. The quality of my philosophy books which, regretably, I haven’t read. My manga collection. There is nothing else I would like “conserved” from this world. As it currently stands, my nation’s government is selling my future out from underneath me; my nation’s central bank is keeping the interest rate on my nation’s dollar at a supremely low amount; my nation’s police force is wholly inadequate to uphold the law; my nation’s laws are labrynthine; half of my nation’s culture is being undermined, and the other half will be undermined in short time; my nation’s mental and physical health is in the sewer; my nation would sell the birthright which is our land to those of another nation and ceed control of our industry to them because “lmoa ur to lasey 2 do job”. Why would I want to conserve any of that? Why would I vote for the “conservative” party when all they want to do is dole out a McTaxCut™ every now and again? Why would I vote for the “liberal” party when they would do the same as the “conservative” party, but dole out extra benefit payments and call you a racist for breathing in the direction of somebody of a different race to you?

The “conservative” and “liberal” labels are rooted in the same overarching desire, but I don’t know what term to use for this desire. Is it Neoliberalism, Progressivism, Globalism, Communo-Capitalism, some other buzzword meant to evoke the image of a fat, monicled, possibly jewish individual stamping out even more buzzwords (except these buzzwords are the McGood™ ones that you believe actually mean something)? Ultimately, the quest to compartmentalise these complex ideas is a quest which seeks to obfuscate the reality of the situation beyond a necessary level. They help to grasp the basic concept, but they inevitably lead to the “everything I don’t like is…” syndrome. No, I don’t think this generation is the most conservative. It’s the most Anarcho-Statist.

What do I mean? Simply put, it’s the one most willing to shrug off buzzwords and subvert them. It’s the one most willing to drop political parties for cucking out on issues. It’s the one most likely to resort to insults either first or exclusively, because they recognise the futility in arguing against people that will not argue in good faith. Forgive my language, but they’re the most memetic. If you asked them what they thought, issue by issue, you’d get some honest answers, but if you tried to box them into this group or that political party, they’d be the first to subvert the very idea of it. If you asked me, issue by issue, what I believed, I’d be a centrist in aggregate. If you took my opinion on the migrant crisis and extrapolated my ideology from that, you’d call me an Identitarian. If you extrapolated my opinion on central banking or the nature of government, you’d call me an Anarcho-Capitalist. If you took the fact that I don’t care that the government’s role is to force people to do things they don’t really want to do, you’d call me a hard Statist. I don’t really care that the welfare state exists, but I would never want to draw from it. Am I a Social Democrat now? I don’t care that tax money is used to build shitty infrastructure, but I’d prefer that I wasn’t exorbitantly taxed and that the infrastructure wasn’t shit. Am I a Socialist or a Conservative? I think that the Alt-Right, the Alt-Lite, Kekistan and the “Skeptic Community” are cancer, but am I not allowed to borrow their ideas or watch their videos? Am I a Christian because I think that Christianity is an important part of the European identity and of cultures created by Europeans? Am I a Pagan for the same reason? Am I an Islamic National Socialist for supporting Assad over the Free Syrian Army and Islamic State? I’m none of these, because I would be a walking contradiction. At the same time, I am all of these things simultaneously, and I can interchange between them to piss off whoever it is I happen to be arguing against. What was that old Eminem lyric again?

Yes, I would agree that a lot of us have very similar beliefs, and that a large amount of us cluster around beliefs held by older ‘conservatives’. But you would have to be a fool to actually believe we’re a bunch of Neoconservative hacks ready to vote National or Tory or Republican from now until eternity. What you would instead see is a young and radical vote swing based on actions, results and personalities. If for some reason the ACT Party get near the 5% threshold this year, you can probably guess who voted for them. It’ll be a transient vote, favouring upstart and non-establishment parties, but probably with a low voter turnout. In New Zealand, parties that would stand to gain from a youthquake of Gen Z voters include New Zealand First, Green, Labour, ACT and TOP in that order, though National and the Maori Party would benefit somewhat from this. As to why it is that Generation Z have these beliefs, I would have to guess that it’s due to none other than 4chan and the rich history they have with Youtube and the internet at large.

Youtube used to just be a video repository. 4chan, at the time, couldn’t support video uploads, so they would upload videos to Youtube and either link or embed their video on their posts. This is why people remember “numa-numa guy” and not who he was as a person. Fundamentally, it didn’t matter. Youtubers were irrelevant when it came to what got famous, it was all up to 4chan, Something Awful and a handfull of other websites. The discussions that occured here determined the context for future discussions that would later happen on Youtube. Much of the modern gamer culture, otaku culture and political discussions were framed by /v/, /a/ and /new/, /b/ and /pol/ respectively. These discussions would fan out to Digg (and later, Reddit), Youtube and to wherever else they may have found themselves. Minecraft got famous from a Youtube algorithim change, but the early discussion happened on /v/ as Notch was developing it. The whole reason 4chan was created was so that Moot could discuss anime, and no doubt much of the nomenclature used by weeaboos such as weeaboo, waifu, and other cancerous words and phrases were coined here. The political side was a long time in the making. ‘Anonymous’ was started on 4chan so that they had a fallguy in case a raid, hack or their political action failed. It quickly gained notoriety after Project Chanology and Occupy Wall Street, and was eventually superceded by Anarcho-Communists and edgy Millenials LARPing as Comrade Che. Their largely significant overlap with other boards meant that /new/, and later, /pol/, could throw its weight around /a/ and /v/, and they would do the same. This would come into play much later on with things like GamerGate. In the meantime, /pol/ was probably laughing at the dumpster fire which was Atheism+. Notice anything? These are all things which played into a much larger feedback loop called Youtube. /pol/ spergs out in real life, it trends on Youtube, then Gen Z is introduced to Anonymous. /v/ spergs out about GamerGate, then it gets big on Youtube and Gen Z is exposed to small time media corruption and possible government intervention into “muh vidya”.

I can assure you that Generation Z was unsupervised on Youtube. It was the daycare that TV was to Millenials. I can also assure you that Generation Z was watching this stuff, and if they weren’t, they absorbed the effects of this from osmosis. How many of them watch Pewdiepie? How many of them used to watch Pewdiepie? I have no doubt he used imageboards like 4chan early on, and if not, he uses them sporatically right now. What about the politics channels they watch? Hell, what about the types of memes they engorge themselves with? Ask them. They probably won’t use words like ‘conservative’ to describe them, though it does happen occasionally.

I had a talk with some of the guys I do Parkour with a while back. They’re in their early years of high school, and they were saying that during their science class they were taken with the rest of their year to the hall to have a presentation with this philosopher lady. I forgot what it was that they told me about her, but it was the typical hippie, new wave, anti-white drivel you would come to expect from public education. They probably forgot too, but they were telling me that it was a boring presentation, that they preferred to be in class and that when one of them tried to object to a certain point, he was reprimanded because when he put up his hand, it looked too much like a roman salute for her liking.

Please don’t mis-generation me on my profile, thanks 🙂

Adam Ant News

May 21, 2010 / Posted by:

Unfortunately, this is sad Adam Ant news. The Daily Mail says that Adam, who suffers from bipolar disorder, has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and is now receiving treatment at a hospital in London. If you’re tasting a few drops of Cheetos on your tongue it’s because Adam has basically been put on a 5150 hold. They call it section 4 in the UK. We’re learning stuff.

Adam was shuffled off to the hospital after he had a series of public freakouts over the past few weeks. During a charity show last week, Adam asked if there were any Christians in the audience and then he told them to “FUCK OFF.” I’m not sure what’s so crazy about that since Roseanne writes that on her blog on an hourly basis. Oh wait.

Strangely enough, the crowd showered Adam with boos instead of claps and he was escorted off the stage.

Adam released a special message to his fans asking them to send him cards instead of stalking the hospital lobby:

Ant fans – please send me postcards at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, Fulham Road. Please don’t come down here as it may upset the staff who have been really pleasant.

I am having a well earned rest at Her Majesty’s Pleasure and am painting and continuing being an art student. I have a great view and am considering gigs later in the year.

Eat the jello and get better, Adam. Every time I tell someone to “FUCK OFF” this weekend, I will dedicate it to you.

 Ranveer Singh urges youth to rebel via music

Ranveer Singh urges youth to rebel via music

Mumbai, May 19 :  Actor Ranveer Singh has urged Indian youth not to hold back and show their rebel side through music.
In a new video campaign by youth brand JACK&JONES, the actor has shown his singing skills along with four faces who got an opportunity to rap to a video with the actor himself.859fece4b964df6e91a08c9d4d04a333

On the launch of the second edition of the campaign, Ranveer said: “#DONTHOLDBACK started off as a very small idea, and eventually evolved to a campaign that is now larger than life. The kind of responses that we received for the digital contest was truly exhilarating.

“The final track that the four rapper boys and I worked on has undoubtedly the most unabashed, unapologetic vibe to it which truly embodies the spirit of the campaign. I am truly grateful for having been given the chance to encourage the talent that the youth of our country possess”

#DONTHOLDBACK promises to inspire youth of the country to have a “don’t give-a-damn” attitude.

Reverse lookup dns zone

Reverse lookup dns zones are used to provide address-to-name resolution. In this, A DNS client uses a known IP address and looks for the host name of that address.

The following illustrates the general reverse dns look up query process:

1. Assume IP address for which name resolution needed is
2. A DNS client queries the DNS server for a pointer (PTR) resource record which maps the IP address to a host name "user".
3.The DNS server reverses the address and appends the domain name "" to the end of the reversed IP address. Now the resultant address to search becomes " Now this fully qualified domain name (FQDN). i.e be searched in a reverse lookup zone.

4. After the is located in authoritative DNS server, the authoritative DNS server for can respond with the pointer (PTR) resource record information which includes the DNS name "" for the IP address, which completes the reverse lookup process.
To create reverse lookup zone, follow the link Create Reverse Lookup zone

orientationchange event

orientationchange eventversion added: 1.0

Description: Device portrait/landscape orientation event

  • jQuery( window ).on( "orientationchange", function( event ) { ... } )

    Additional properties on the event object:

    • orientation
      Type: String
      The new orientation of the device. Possible values are "portrait" and "landscape".

The jQuery Mobile orientationchange event triggers when a device orientation changes, either by turning the device vertically or horizontally. When bound to this event the callback function has the event object. The event object contains an orientation property equal to either "portrait" or "landscape".

Note that we bind to the browser's resize event when orientationchange is not natively supported or if $.mobile.orientationChangeEnabled is set to false.

orientationchange timing

The timing of the orientationchange event with relation to the change of the client height and width is different between browsers, though the current implementation will give you the correct value for event.orientation derived from window.orientation. This means that if your bindings are dependent on the height and width values you may want to disable orientationChange altogether with $.mobile.orientationChangeEnabled = false to let the fallback resize code trigger your bindings.

Visit this from your orientation-enabled device to see it in action!

<!doctype html>

  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <title>orientationchange demo</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.css">

orientationchange Not Supported on this Device.

// Bind an event to window.orientationchange that, when the device is turned,
// gets the orientation and displays it to on screen.
$( window ).on( "orientationchange", function( event ) {
  $( "#orientation" ).text( "This device is in " + event.orientation + " mode!" );
// You can also manually force this event to fire.
$( window ).orientationchange();

ReQL command: wait

Command syntax

table.wait() → object
database.wait() → object
r.wait(table | database) → object

Wait for a table or all the tables in a database to be ready. A table may be temporarily unavailable after creation, rebalancing or reconfiguring. The wait command blocks until the given table (or database) is fully up to date.

The wait command takes two optional arguments using optArg:

  • wait_for: a string indicating a table status to wait on before returning, one of ready_for_outdated_reads, ready_for_reads, ready_for_writes, or all_replicas_ready. The default is all_replicas_ready.
  • timeout: a number indicating maximum time, in seconds, to wait for the table to be ready. If this value is exceeded, a ReqlRuntimeError will be thrown. A value of 0 means no timeout. The default is 0 (no timeout).

The return value is an object consisting of a single field, ready. The value is an integer indicating the number of tables waited for. It will always be 1 when wait is called on a table, and the total number of tables when called on a database.

Versions of RethinkDB prior to 2.3 allowed wait to be called without a table or database specified. This is no longer valid; wait requires explicit selection of a database or table.

Example: Wait on a table to be ready.

{ "ready": 1 }

Litja -PKF Ante-

Yaaay pukifee ante again! :D

Made in 2011, I’m her second owner ^^ I paid her off completely on 27.10.2011, and she arrived 04.11.2011

She is such a perfect little cutie ^^ To me she is a tiny package filled with tons of fun ;D It was love at first sight, and she is already the most spoiled PKF in the world, lol ^^

She has such a wonderful personality. In her own mind she is a brave adventurer, and a tomboy. In reality she is a little scaredy cat, lol ^^ And she is always a bit shy when I put her in a beautiful dress, but once she gets over herself she’ll be twirling around enjoying being a girly-girl.

She loves to cuddle up with pillows, blankets and teddies for a nice nap, and is as adorable as can be.

I finally got her a sister in 2012, a PKF Luna. At first the two didn’t really know what to make of each other, but it didn’t take them long to become the closest of friends. They can even share toys without arguing!

The Silent Majority: Adult Children as Caregivers

by Jan Simpson

I met for lunch with a woman who drove her car through her garage door, distraught over a telephone call from her elderly father. I received an email from another: her 85-year old uncle is suicidal. One friend visits a local nursing home daily before work and another lives with the guilt that a decision he made may have inadvertently led to his father’s weakened medical condition. These are the lives of your colleagues at work, juggling the demands of work and family, who silently have assumed a new responsibility: the care of their aging parents.

There is no escaping this stage in life. Parents age. They may live with diabetes or arthritis, cancer or heart disease.  They may have a stroke or break a hip. Or they may simply reach the age of 85 or 90 or 94 when they cannot live alone. You may be the one who needs to help them, the family member who coordinates their care, who solicits help from siblings and others, who assumes, over time, the role of the caregiver. The good news is that you’re not alone. Today, more than 50 million Americans are supporting an older loved one. The average age of an adult caregiver is 50-54. You may face tuition bills and assisted living choices, teenage drivers and visiting nurses, midnight calls from an anxious elderly parent or a teenage daughter asking to stay out late. This is what they didn’t discuss in those parenting classes you took when your children were young. This is what you won’t know about your co-worker, who looks worn at the morning meeting, dark circles under his eyes. Or your neighbor, who waves hello and smiles, but seems distant and strained.

How do you ask for help when you aren’t sure what to do for your aging parent? How do you offer a neighbor or a co-worker help without seeming intrusive on his or her personal life?

A few weeks ago, Ned Rimer, founder of the Chronic Care Community Corps, was on public radio in Boston. I met Ned two years ago when he was starting to research how to best help families who support an elderly loved one. Ned interviewed physicians and caregivers, elders and health care professionals. From those interviews he developed an interactive seminar series that he piloted last October. I was fortunate to be among the seminar participants. Through role playing and readings, case studies and candid conversations, Ned and his colleague Dr. Loring Conant, facilitated a deeper knowledge about how family members, friends, and co-workers can best support a family caregiver. I encourage you to listen to Ned’s interview on WBUR here and read more about his work here. Consider hosting a seminar at your work, your place of worship, or a neighborhood group.(A reminder: I do not have a financial arrangement with Ned Rimer or the Center for Applied Ethics.)

In twenty years, there will be 70 million Americans over the age of 65  living in our communities. We can all benefit by learning how to offer meaningful support to our aging parents, neighbors and work colleagues. And, in a few decades, our children will be the ones needing that support.

Are you aware of other organizations that provide support to family caregivers?

Ten by Gretchen McNeil

Welcome to YA Friday. Today I am looking at a book I read while away for Spring Break. I nabbed it off my sister's bookshelf :) It is Ten by Gretchen McNeil, a YA thriller.

The Story-
Meg and Minnie are on their way to a secret party on Henry Island. Supposedly it will be the party of the year, and TJ, Minnie and Meg's crush will be there. A huge storm arrives just as they get off the ferry, and soon the girls find themselves stranded on the island, with the ferry not coming back until Monday.

Their panic fades when TJ comes to their rescue and brings them up to White House Rock, where seven other party guests await. The party and drinking begins, but the night turns weird when they watch a strange DVD that declares, "Vengeance is Mine". The teens head to bed with the shivers, only to awaken to find one of their own hanging from the rafters. Soon they begin dropping like flies, and they have no idea why or who is doing it? Who will survive the weekend?

My Thoughts-
As an older reader, this book reminded me of the Agatha Christie novel, And Then There Were None. Younger readers might not have the same reference and will hopefully not know what to expect. The author gives this story a strong YA twist, with a young woman's death being the catalyst that sparked the vengeance.

The fun of the story is trying to figure out who the killer is and how each character is related to the plot of revenge. I have to say, this book doesn't hold it's punches. The author is brutal in the character's killings and often cringe worthy. Nothing too bad, and I think it's right up teenager's allies. Great details are given about each character, which allows the reader to tie everything together in the end.

A total thriller with a lot of twists and turns. It even had me wondering who the real villain was, and I had to laugh when I realized I'd missed a clue right in the first few chapters. 4 Stars!

  1. This sounds terrific. It's going on to my TBR list. Thanks.

Another Look at that Retro Inspired Nursery

Remember a long long time ago when I found that awesome velvet blue chair with orange piping at the thrift store?  Remember how I was so inspired by the chair that I put together a retro inspired nursery with the chair as the centerpiece?  Well, here's another look at that nursery.

We decided to put together a sample Lark & Lily inspiration board using that nursery design as an example to show potential clients.  We've been practicing up our inspiration board making skills-- and I think we're starting to get the hang of it!

Man-- I remember feeling sad that I didn't really have a spot for that chair in my own home.  But-- I was so happy to discover that one of my friends spotted the chair a few days later and she bought it for her little boy's room.  I was so relieved :)

For more info-- feel free to visit our website HERE.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Erica said...

I was JUST admiring that chair at Sharon's house the other day. I want one.

I laughed at your blog post about caleb waking up early. You make me smile! It would be nice to connect with your little family before you go away on your airplane. Wanna meet at Choo Choo's some time?

From 1908-1940, Sears, Roebuck and Co. sold about 70,000 – 75,000 residences through their mail-order Contemporary Residences system. Orders are now flowing again though not almost as quickly as the old warehouse place so I find it a bit funny since their internet site says they moved to a much more contemporary location to enhance their shipping. People could even style their own houses and submit the blueprints to Sears, which would then ship off the proper precut and fitted components, putting the property owner in full creative manage.

More than time, Modern day Properties catalogs came to advertise 3 lines of residences, aimed for customers’ differing financial means: Honor Bilt, Common Built, and Simplex Sectional. Modern day Residence DesignInhabit style and accouterment is not the only structure to change a property, nonetheless. Incorporating modern art, furnishings or lighting into the classic design and style tends to make it much more up to date but nevertheless cosy and lived-in.

The property style gives open, airy spaces filled with organic light and connections to the exterior garden spaces all on a difficult narrow web site in central Denver. Reusable, straightforward to use and clean, it is ideal for an elegant, modern and styling house decoration or re-decoration. Rooms back then have been densely furnished, and for these who want a quite cozy appeal, this is an interior design and style style that would fit your taste very nicely. Classical interior design and style is primarily based on order, symmetry and balance which relates to the ideals of the Greek and Roman empires.

Hi sir good day, napakaganda po ng mga design nyo na bahay nais ko po sanang itanung kung pede ko magamit ang ludenio na design nyo, balak ko sanang umuwi sa pinas next month and manatili na sa ating bayan for lang po mahingi ang design and style nyo ng ludenio. So he has been purchasing about buying things that are on sale and going to home exhibition to get very good bargains!

Generating a synchronous, contemporary property is a wish of umpteen folks since the music is so well-liked. It’s clear that you speak from expertise in homeschooling, and you have so many very good concepts and resources. He trained in Germany and Vienna, and his Art Nouveau jewelry styles drew heavily on nature for inspiration. In just fourteen years of existence Bauhaus forever changed our views on design and style. This private inventory will come in handy when it really is time to pay a visit to our new home interior design centre. You can use fairly vintage images like in the tutorial or you can use bright contemporary colors.

Foreword by Stan Lerner: this is a story about the Homeboy Industries Fundraiser, at Union Station, which I attended Saturday night. I did not walk into this event with the slightest intention of writing a story. But I walked out knowing that I had no choice other than to pen some thoughts from the heart about this important and moving experience.

Do you believe in God? I believe that most of us do. However, I think that we live in a world so filled with noise, and by noise I mean all of the material distractions of life, that much of our belief in God is relegated to the quiet of our subconscious. Given that most Americans enjoy a life of considerable physical comfort and an abundance of entertainment we often tend to seek out an individual audience with God primarily in times of trouble, angst and or designated times—around the observance schedules of our respective religious organizations. And while I could write at length about the state of our relationship with God, I will depart from the broader subject and talk about one, ideal, reality—it was very much in the world, very much in the City of Angels, very much at Union Station on Saturday night.

So, I’m asking you now to venture from the norm for a few minutes as you read this blog. Move God from your subconscious belief to the forefront of your consciousness and imagine the world as the place it would be if we all had the strength and wisdom to do what’s right all of the time. Seriously, take a few minutes and imagine this, imagine who and what you would be…

Saturday night’s event brought together a large group of people of different ethnicities and religious beliefs for one purpose, to raise money to support an organization that does God’s work here on Earth. Downtownster has written about this organization before and the story that most of us know, in our day-to-day state of mind is fairly simple—a guy named Father Greg Boyle gives ex-gang members jobs baking, working in a café or screen printing T-shirts. I should add that Father Boyle fits the part, full priest gear, white-beard, round glasses and a way with words. But we all know that there’s much more to the story (Father Boyle knows this.)—our part of the story, the part where on occasion we don’t delegate the responsibility to the guy that looks the part, but we step up onto the stage and say that we’re also part of the show—this is transformation, this is transcendence and quite possibly the dawning of a new age of enlightenment, this enlightenment one of not only forgiveness, but of reconciliation.
