Asthma Treatment

Friday, Oct. 17th I went to the walk-in in Southbury for asthma. He gave me prednisone which healed my legs. This is an unusual time of year for me to have to go to the doctor.

Siding Choices

Wood siding is one of the most expensive siding types. The average cost for wood siding is $6,500 -$7,500 (including professional installation) for a 1,250 exterior square feet, and the price can go up depending on the type of wood.



ESTIMATING To determine how many lineal feet of clapboards you should order, simply multiply the square feet of area to be covered by 12. Then divide by the reveal (what you wish left showing), and this will give you the lineal footage needed for your project. For example: 1000 square feet of wall to be covered times 12 inches equals 12,000. 12,000 divided by 4 (your reveal) equals 3000' lineal feet of our 6" clapboard.

iPad Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Ctrl+Alt+S - silences VoiceOver
  • Ctrl+Alt+H - equates to a Home button press (do it twice to show the task bar, add a little pause to go to Spotlight)
  • Ctrl+Alt+I - pops up the Item Chooser, which allows you to pick just about any accessible element on the screen and jump to it – try it on your home screen to get a nice list of folders and apps
  • Left+Right - to go into quick navigation mode and go over all the accessible UI elements
  • Up+Down - to “press” a UI element
  • Alt+Arrow - Keys to scroll a screenful at a time (in an app, sideways on the home screen, etc.)
  • Cmd+Shift+Tab - switches “right” to the previous app, just like a four-finger swipe (think of it as a way to move back through the task switcher)
  • Cmd+Tab - switches back “left” to the app you were originally in (the screen will bounce a little when you’re already on the “latest” app)
  • Left+Right - followed by Option-Left/Right to page through your dock (if you go all the way left, you’ll get to the volume, playback and brightness controls)

Hot Tub Notes

  • Gecko or Balboa controls
  • Aquaflow/gecko pumps. Some Waterway pumpshave good history behind them

Saw Dr. Lipper today. Been needing to go for weeks because this stuff got infected.

Sourwood Mountain

Chickens a-crowin` on Sourwood Mountain, Hey, ho, diddle-um day. So many pretty girls I can`t count `em, Hey ho, diddle-um day.

My true love`s a blue-eyed daisy, She won`t come and I`m too lazy

Big dog bark and little one bite you, Big girl court and little one spite you.

My true love`s a blue-eyed daisy, If I don`t get her, I`ll go crazy.

My true love lives at the head of the holler, She won`t come and I won`t foller.

My true love lives over the river, A few more jumps and I`ll be with her.

Ducks in the pond, geese in the ocean, Devil`s in the women if they take a notion.

K-12 Education

Education, at least in the K-12 range, is more about child rearing than knowledge acquisition. And since child rearing is primarily about forming character, instilling values and cultivating habits, it may be the last area to be directly augmented by technology.

The first four LED's are yellow and the last two toward the bottom are orange. Going from top to bottom you have the "Power" LED. If the power LED is lit up yellow it means you have it plugged into power. The second LED is the "Receive" LED. When it is lit solid it means you have a good downstream (RX/receive) signal from your cable provider and it is locked on that signal. The third LED is the "Send" LED. When it is lit solid it means that you have good return path (TX/Transmit) signal levels back to your cable provider. (Side note) This is where most cable modems fail to sync up with your cable company/provider. The forth LED is the "Online" LED and when it is solid it means that you are connected to your cable provider and that modem is allowed on their network

The best dual tuners are:

Hauppauge HVR-2250 SiliconDust HDHomerun AverMedia Duet A188

The HVR-2250 is the best of the bunch. It's an internal PCIe card that also has an FM tuner so you can tune radio signals.

The HDHomerun is next. It is a network based dual tuner. It's advantage is that any computer on your home network has access to the tuners.

The Duet is the cheapest of the lot, but is known to have disappearing problems (I have this tuner and though it works well, I had to RMA my first one because of said problems.)

For a keyboard, this one is my favorite: Moneual MK701 It's inexpensive, smallish, has good range, and good battery life.

I've also heard good things about this keyboard.

Worldview

from Seth Godin

Worldview changes three things: attention, bias and vernacular. Attention, because we choose to pay attention to those things that we've decided matter. Bias, because our worldview alters the way we filter and interpret what we hear. And vernacular, because words and images resonate with people differently based on their worldview.

t's extremely expensive, time consuming and difficult to change someone's worldview. The guys at Opus One shouldn't spend a lot of time marketing expensive wine to fraternities because it's not efficient. Sell nuts to squirrels, don't try to persuade dolphins that nuts are delicious.

My Blues Go Walking

GREG BROWN "Blues Go Walking"

I try to stay here But my blues go walking My blues go walking They go out walking I try to stay here When i'm going down I try to stay here But my blues go walking around

I lay in my bed But my blues go walking My blues go walking My blues go walking I stay in my bed & i don't even make a sound I lay in my bed & my blues go walking 'round

My blues go walking They go looking Someone's burning What someone's cooking Someone's moaning Someone's out of her nightgown My blues go looking My blues go walking 'round

Don't fall in love If you can't live it If you can't give it If you can't live it Don't fall in love If you can't take it to town Don't fall in love Or your blues will go walking 'round

My Bucket Got a Hole

ea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It I can't buy no beer.

Well I'm standin' on a corner - With a bucket in my hand I'm waitin' for a woman - That ain't got no man.

CHORUS 'Cause My Bucket's Got A Hole In It Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It Yea! My Bucket's Got A Hole In It I can't buy no beer.

Well, I went upon the mountain - I looked down in the sea I seen the crabs and the fishes - Doin' the be-bop- bee.

CHORUS

Well, there ain't no use - of me workin' so hard When I got a woman - in the boss man's yard.

CHORUS

Extra verse.

Well, me and my baby - we just bought a Ford And now we sit together - on the running board.

Owensboro

Well, I lived in a town Way down south By the name of Owensboro And I worked in a mill With the rest of the "trash" As we're often called As you know

Well, we rise up early In the morning And we work all day real hard To buy our little meat and bread Buy sugar, tea, and lard

Well, our children Grow up unlearned With no time to go to school Almost before they learn to walk They learn to spin and spoon

Well, the folks in town They dress so fine And spend their money free But they would hardly look At a factory hand Who dresses like you or me

Would you let them wear Their watches fine Let them wear their gems And pearly strings

But when that day Of judgement comes They'll have to share Their pretty things

Convert to ASCII

Often when you paste in Zope from Microsoft products you get non-ascii characters. This is a shotgun approach.

icon -c -t US-ASCII input > output

This just drops the characters rather than fixes them but a quick diff will show you the offending lines. I think you can run this from within vim

Amusing ourselves to death

The essential premise of the book, which Postman extends to the rest of his argument(s), is that "form excludes the content," that is, a particular medium can only sustain a particular level of ideas. Thus Rational argument, integral to print typography, is militated against by the medium of television for the aforesaid reason. Owing to this shortcoming, politics and religion are diluted, and "news of the day" becomes a packaged commodity. Television de-emphasises the quality of information in favour of satisfying the far-reaching needs of entertainment, by which information is encumbered and to which it is subordinate.

My Fix the Budget

Is this what politics is about?

Suppose there is a mouse problem that the government has to deal with using mousetrap. If the mousetrap does not work, the Republicans would say there is no mouse problem (unless it is tied with national or homeland security) and want to cut it from the budget. The Democrats want to buy more if something is defective. That is why I cannot be a Republican or Democrat. I believe in building a better mousetrap.

Style Notes

General

  • Widen title/date space and reduce box/folder space width
  • Add commas between titles and dates
  • Indent scope and content notes under folder titles
  • Add "Series" heading in front of series # and put colon between series # and

series title (e.g. Series 3: Correspondence, 1945-1987)

  • Make series headings larger font
  • Do not display File Plan Note
  • Remove "inclusive" from Date heading
  • Put summary information segments on one line (e.g. Repository: Rockefeller Archive

Center)

  • Repository should say "Rockefeller Archive Center" not "RAC" (this may be

something we need to fix in the repository profile?)

  • Combine Extent and General Physical Description Note into just one Extent note

(e.g. Extent: 0.5 cubic feet (1 half letter-size document case)

  • Combine the display of the Collection ID and Collection name into one line (e.g.

"Collection 006: Conrad Anner papers")

Header/Footer

  • Header should read: Rockefeller Archive Center (not Archives)

Index Page

  • Page title should read: Rockefeller Archive Center Collections (also, the word

list is not really useful)

  • If we use the word Finding Aid we should explain what that means. For example:

Welcome to the Yale Finding Aid Database This database consists of finding aids for archival and manuscript materials at Yale University. Their purpose is to provide information about the creation, historical context, arrangement, and content of archival and manuscript collections as well as the information necessary for users to identify and request the portions relevant to their research. These finding aids vary in style, depth of detail, and amount of materials covered, but their common purpose is to describe and enable access to archival and manuscript collections.http://drs.library.yale.edu:8083/fedoragsearch/rest

Full Finding Aid Display Page

  • Notes section repeats
  • Add space between General Physical Description Note and Return to Table of Contents
  • Yes, the Collection Inventory formatting needs some work

o Conrad W. Anner papers Competing fonts Need some dividing element (space, indentation) between folder title and Scope note of previous folder Box and Folder title labels are too small, should be one color, and the same as other title fonts o The Claude H. Barlow Papers Same as above Use of bold in folder titles o Max Bergmann Papers Why does the extra column show?

Other Ideas

  • Use of a static header (collection name) and static table of contents so users

know where they are and click out easily

I am an orphan girl

I am an orphan on God's highway But I'll share my troubles if you go my way I have no mother no father No sister no brother I am an orphan girl

I have had friendships pure and golden But the ties of kinship I have not known them I know no mother no father No sister no brother I am an orphan girl

But when He calls me I will be able To meet my family at God's table I'll meet my mother my father My sister my brother No more orphan girl

Blessed Savior make me willing And walk beside me until I'm with them Be my mother my father My sister my brother I am an orphan girl

Personal Motivation

From Daniel Pink:

  • Autonomy
  • Mastery
  • Purpose

These are more about how to get the most out of yourself.

Searching

post-search navigation

Automation and software

To be successful at automation you have to have good 'models of operation' and good 'semantics of functionality'

Elements of a Design Document

Executive Summary:

A concise (one page) overview of the project that communicates the basic concept. What's it all about?

Statement of Purpose:

Motivation, intended use, importance. Why are you doing this? What will you do with it when it's done? Why does it matter? Articulate the standards by which the success of the project may be measured.

Content Outline:

A logically organized, hierarchical outline of the project's content.

Experiential Flowchart:

A chart depicting the user's experience — how he or she can navigate through the content.

Interface Mockups:

Nonfunctional, annotated sketches of key elements and screens.

Media Inventory:

An exhaustive, detailed list of all the media necessary for the project. Account for copyright issues, if any.

Implementation Plan:

A detailed plan which spells out how the above will be accomplished. Who does what, and when? Include schedule and budget information.

Only One and Only

There's a hundred bluebirds Up above the clouds Putting all the color in the sky And twice as many tear drops there to wash it down Every one's another lullaby But there's only one and only Who could go and leave me lonely

There's a world of trouble Trying to take its turn I can hear it shaking underground And half a dozen lessons I might never learn Not until them troubles come around But there's only one and only Who could go and leave me lonely

There's a mile of blacktop Where the road begins It takes a time or two to recognize Growing at the roadside Scattered by the wind Are everybody's unsaid sad goodbyes But there's only one and only Who could go and leave me lonely You're the only one and only Why'd you go and leave me lonely

Adding Value

If you can help someone understand something thats good. Pointing out what they need to understand isn't always helpful. They can't handle what information is coming their way now. But I think this is a little like the "productivity paradox", you're too busy getting things done to learn how to do things better.

Altima Car Codes

Anyone can check the codes in thier nissans.

1.Turn the ignition key to the on position for exactly three seconds

2.Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and release 5 times within 5 seconds.

3.Wait EXACTLY seven seconds

4.Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold for ten seconds. At this point the SES light should start flashing the error codes that are stored in the system and you can release the pedal. If you only get five slow flashes or no flashes at all, then your timing was off on one of the above steps and you should start over.

5.Now to clear the codes, push the pedal back down all the way to the floor and hold for at least ten seconds. The light will continue to flash and there's no indication that the codes have been cleared so make sure you time ten seconds or more.

When the ses starts flashing you count the number of flashes. 1-10 10 being 0. There will be a 4 diget code. The first flashs are about .5 of a sec the next three are like .3 sec.

Think Like Me

from Seth Godin

Friday, 06:20 AM When you're trying to sell your idea, it's natural to assume that the people you're selling to think the way you do. If you can only show them the facts and stories that led you to believe what you believe, then of course they'll end up where you are... believing.

The problem, of course, is that people don't always think like you.

Go watch some videos of people of different political ideologies talking about why they support a candidate other than your candidate. These people are stupid! They can't conjugate an idea, they have no factual basis for their beliefs, they are clueless, they are ideologues, they are parroting a talking head who knows even less than they do! (And those epithets apply to anyone you disagree with, of course). In fact, they're saying the same thing about you.

Same goes for diehard fans of the other brand, or worse, the clueless who should be using your solution, but don't even care enough to use your competitor's product.

If they only thought like you, of course, and knew what you know, then there wouldn't be a problem.

The challenge doesn't lie in getting them to know what you know. It won't help. The challenge lies in helping them see your idea through their lens, not yours. If you study the way religions and political movements spread, you can see that this is exactly how it works. Marketers of successful ideas rarely market the facts. Instead, they market stories that match the worldview of the people being marketed to.

There's an alternative, one that you might want to think hard about: perhaps you should only market your idea to people who already think the way you do. After all, you're not running for president, you don't need a majority. Screen people by their behavior (what they read, what they buy, how they act) and only tell your story to the people who will embrace it. That's a lot easier to do that than it's ever been before.]

Architecture

  • The Basic Layer implements a set of resource handlers.
  • Each resource handler is responsible for handling of a specific type of a resource. Each resource handler service implements the four basic operations create, retrieve, update, and delete (CRUD). Additionally, filter methods and task-oriented methods (e.g., for changing the status of an object within a content repository) are provided.
  • The most important resources are Items, Containers, and Contexts.

Items are basic objects that represent content entities within the repository, e.g. articles, images, or videos.

Containers are aggregation objects that allow for arbitrary grouping of items and other containers. Whereas the general layout of Item and Container resources remains the same, they can be further specialized by content types. Content types impose constraints on objects (e.g. allowed metadata schemas, required metadata, allowed file types and mime types for the binary content and specify a set of content type specific properties).

Contexts represent units of administration for a set of Items and Containers. They are associated with an institutional body responsible for the management of the content.

Wealth

Wealth is not the same thing as money. [3] Wealth is as old as human history. Far older, in fact; ants have wealth. Money is a comparatively recent invention. Wealth is the fundamental thing. Wealth is stuff we want: food, clothes, houses, cars, gadgets, travel to interesting places, and so on. You can have wealth without having money.

Scrappy

Someone who's scrappy manages to be both threatening and undignified at the same time. Which seems to me exactly what one would want to be, in any kind of work. If you're not threatening, you're probably not doing anything new, and dignity is merely a sort of plaque.

Going Fast

If you want to go faster, it's a problem to have your work tangled together with a large number of other people's. In a large group, your performance is not separately measurableand the rest of the group slows you down.

The Financial Crisis and Regulation



Here is an articleatThe Base Line Scenarioby James Coffman. I think this short post says as much about the situation as any thing I've read.

* First, we need to look at the structure of the finance industry. Commercial banks got into trouble in large part because they warehoused (often off the books) toxic securities underwritten by their investment banking counterparts within the holding company structure. Similar abuses in the past resulted in separating investment banking from commercial banking. We should try it again. Insurance should be split off as well.

* Second, no institution should be allowed to become too big to fail. Those that have already achieved that status should be broken up.

* Third, we must put in place an effective financial consumer protection agency which can counteract the worst consumer practices of a too powerful industry.

* Fourth, investment banks should be made to eat what they kill. Public ownership of investment banks coincided with the industry's decline into extremely reckless risk taking. Investment bankers should be required to own a significant percentage of the equity in the institutions in which they work (something approaching 50%, to pick a number). Having a significant portion of their net worth tied up in such stock would provide an incentive to carefully identify and measure risk. It should also reduce outsized compensation for investment bankers.

* Fifth, there should be greater limits placed on the ability of political appointees to oust career regulators. Make capture more difficult.

* Sixth, more financial products and firms should be subject to government registration and reporting.

* Seventh, regulators should not be forced to wear conflicting hats. One cannot promote an industry while protecting the public from it. Don't ask regulators to be industry cheerleaders. Limits can be placed on regulators to ensure that they not act without consideration of the impact of their actions. But over-regulation is not what got us in this position. Cheerleaders purporting to be regulators did.

* Finally, the government should adopt a bonus plan for regulators, run by regulators (who would rotate off after short, fixed terms, to prevent back-scratching among board members) to provide incentives for regulators to excel at the job of regulation. Recognized, protected and incentivized regulators will resist capture.

Are the Good Times Really Over for Good

Wish a buck was still silver. It was, back when the country was strong. Back before Elvis; before the Vietnam war came along. Before The Beatles and "Yesterday", When a man could still work, and still would. Is the best of the free life behind us now? Are the good times really over for good?

Are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell? With no kind of chance for the Flag or the Liberty bell. Wish a Ford and a Chevy, Could still last ten years, like they should. Is the best of the free life behind us now? Are the good times really over for good?

I wish coke was still cola, And a joint was a bad place to be. And it was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV. Before microwave ovens, When a girl still cooked and still would. Is the best of the free life behind us now? Are the good times really over for good?

Are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell? With no kind of chance for the Flag or the Liberty bell. Wish a Ford and a Chevy, Could still last ten years, like they should. Is the best of the free life behind us now? Are the good times really over for good?

Stop rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell? Stand up for the Flag and let's all ring the Liberty bell. Let's make a Ford and a Chevy, Still last ten years, like they should. 'Cos the best of the free life is still yet to come, The good times ain't over for good?

The 2009 Kentucky Derby is set for this Saturday with a full field (at least right now) of 20 top-flight horses. This will be the 135th running of the race, and fans can look forward to another great "Running of the Roses". Which jockey/horse combo will be in the winner's circle this year? Let's take a look at the contenders, as well as my picks for this year's Kentucky Derby.

1. West Side Bernie: Bernie has been to six different tracks in his career, but he's yet to win a race as a 3 year old. He ran very well in the Wood Memorial, finishing 2nd behind I Want Revenge. This horse is a solid closer, but could suffer from his post position.

2. Musket Man: Won the Illinois Derby as well as two lower-level races. Not great at this distance, will likely fall late.

3. Mr. Hot Stuff: 30/1 odds on this horse for a reason. Has shown the ability to close on artificial turf, but so far not on dirt.

4. Advice: Patient horse. Snuck into the derby with a win at Lexington, but many experts believe he doesn't deserve to be here.

5. Hold Me Back: Has not been competitive on dirt tracks. Was beaten in the Bluegrass Stakes as the favorite and only ran in two prep races this year.

Ownership in the Digital Age

It brought back to me some considerations I'd had about the nature of ownership. My generation will have a distinctly different concept of ownership to that of my daughter's generation. For my generation you partly constructed your identity around what you owned - your bookshelf, record collection and DVD archive were important aspects of who you were (as anyone who has read Nick Hornby's High Fidelity will appreciate). But for the digital generation this strong link with ownership has been broken.

It took time and money to build up any of those collections. Therefore they demonstrated a commitment which was worth exhibiting. In a digital world this effort is greatly reduced, and as a result so is the emotional attachment one feels towards them. — Martin Weller

Nevis (pronounced n-EE-vis), (Hard to get to island)

Ridge Road Gravel

Sitting on the river bank, nothing coming down, I don't know why I don't move on, out of this ol' town. Snow's a-falling in the street. The winter's setting in. The years and changes say to me, You can't go home again.

CHO: So sing me a song that's not too long. Take me home tonight, Till around the bend, I see again, the ridge road gravel and the coal oil light.

I heard it on my radio, bad times all around. Tell me something I don't know. A change could help out now. Looking for a good-time gal, looking for a friend, Mourning for those good ol' days I thought would never end. CHO.

PT Cruiser Error Codes

Computer Error Codes

The car's not running right and it has an error code of 302

Misfires are caused by loss of spark, air/fuel mixture is too far out of balance to ignite, or loss of compression

Waterfall Method of Development

If you use WaterFall the way it was designed to be used,if you make a mistake in an early process and discover it in a later process, you must go back to the early phase and do all the affected phases again. This is because the phase is important (else why are you doing it?), and during the phase you must manually cross-check the fix with everything else. Then you must run the subsequent phases using only the output of the previously re-done phase.

Average Home Use of Electricity

25 kilowatt hours , the equivalent of what a home consumes in a day.

CL&P Rate: .16763 x 850 kwh = $142.48

We're using more than this.

Roofing Materials

3 tab shingles $66.00 per square ($19 to 22 per bundle) Composite: $96.00 per square ($25 x 32)

$120 per square for installation?


I'm guessing we need 30 squares ((2000 x 1.5)/100) Bewtween 8-10K for both buildings
