Hello! I'm Tracy, one of the three sisters from Made From Pinterest and I can't wait to share with you these Candy Dots with Kool Aid!
Debbie, Sherri and I enjoy keeping in touch by testing pins on Pinterest and sharing our results with our followers. As three "pin-testing sisters" it's no wonder we fell in love with "Pinning Mama" Kimber. We were thrilled when she invited us to share a fun summer activity with you.
What can you do with the kids when the temperatures outside reach 100 degrees? Cool off inside and make these fun Kool-Aid Dots Candy. This is a no bake recipe that only requires 3 ingredients. It will keep you and the kids entertained for several hours.
If your kids are like mine they have never seen the old Kool-Aid commercials. Do you remember them?
The commercials start with several kids playing outside and one of them would say "Whew, I'm hot and thirsty" as they wiped the sweat off their forehead. 'This is a job for Kool-Aid", the kids would then yell "Hey Kool-Aid Man". The Kool-Aid man would break through a wall or fence, run over and pour the kids an ice cold glass of Kool-Aid. I thought these commercials were "cool" when I was a kid, watching them now I laugh because the are so corny!
For the strips, cut out 2 inch strips of wax paper and white paper. I taped the wax paper over the graph paper and used the grid to evenly space my dots and create different patterns. If tracing or drawing a picture, cut out a piece of wax paper and white paper the same size as the drawing or picture.
This post was inspired by Kelly who blogs at Smart School House. Head on over to Smart School House to grab the instructions and ingredients.
Divide the candy mixture into 5 small bowls.
Add Kool-Aid colors of your choice to candy mixture.
Mix until the Kool-Aid powder dissolves into the candy mixture.
Fill Zip-Loc bags with colored candy mixture, snip off a small amount of the tip of the bag. Start making fun candy dot patterns on your wax paper strips.
If the Kool-Aid man was still around today I bet he would love some of these Kool-Aid Candy Dots!
For the Kool Aid Candy Dots, how long do they need to dry before eating?

Viewpoint: Resuming evictions would be cruel and dangerous
Laura Felts
Gov. Andrew Cuomo must extend the statewide eviction moratorium, which expired Wednesday. New York faces the devastating prospect of thousands of households being unprotected from eviction in the midst of COVID-19.
This situation raises the question: If we are unprepared to deviate from the sound recommendation that people social distance and stay at home whenever possible, how can we conscionably allow the surge of homelessness that will result from evictions resuming this week? People who are homeless cannot stay home. For many, eviction will be the occasion for a sharply increased risk of exposure to COVID-19. Evictions will contribute to the spread of the virus within our communities.
Nationally, more than a quarter of all Americans have been unable to make ends meet with housing costs. This issue disproportionately affects people of color. At United Tenants of Albany, more than half of the tenants who seek assistance with their housing and eviction matters identify as Black or African American.
Brave solutions to this crisis have been proposed in New York. For instance, community-informed proposals exist within the Emergency Housing Stability and Displacement Prevention Act (S8667/A10827), the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act of 2020 (S8802/A10826), and the Housing Access Voucher Program (7628A/A9657A). Plans for action exist; what is missing is the will to act from our state government.
For our political administration to delay and deny the actions that must be taken to afford dignity and stability in our neighborhoods is both irresponsible and self-destructive. Inaction will affirm that a person's right to control and profit off of investment property is our societal priority. To maintain this state of affairs, how many of our neighbors who are the elderly, ill, children, unemployed, low-income, or struggling with COVID-19 will we accept being made to live in shelters — or when congregate settings are too dangerous, outdoors — in the middle of a deadly pandemic?
Now more than ever, everyone must be afforded a basic human right: the ability to stay home.
Laura Felts is the executive director of United Tenants of Albany and member of the Upstate-Downstate Housing Alliance.

Q: React Shopping Cart: What I am doing wrong Here is my products/cart component. It fetches data from a simple json array. But for some reason after adding the items to the cart, I am unable to view them, But I do see in the console that something is adding when I click the add to cart button.
So what I see here is instead of the actual products, I see blank spaces for the products. I will post pictures below.
import React, { useState } from "react";
import Prod from "../products/ProductsList.json";
import Brands from "./Brands";

export default function Products() {
const [productstate] = useState(Prod)
const showPage = "page";
const showCart = "cart";
const [cart, setCart] = useState([]);
const [page, setPage] = useState(showPage);
const addtoCart = (productstate) => {
console.log("Added");
setCart([...cart, productstate]);
};
const [search, setSearch] = useState("");
const filterPrducts = productstate.filter((item) => {
 return item.name.toLowerCase().includes(search.toLowerCase());
});
const returnProducts = () => (
<>

Shop Featured

    {filterPrducts.map((item, index) => {
      return (

{item.name}

                <button
                  type="button"
                  className="btn btn-info"
                  onClick={addtoCart}
                >
                  Add to Cart
                </button>

      );
    })}

      <Brands />

</>
);
const returnCart = () => (
<>

Your Cart

 navigateTo(showPage)}>View
Products

    {cart.map((item, index) => {
      return (

{item.name}

      );
    })}

  </>
  );

const navigateTo = (nextpage) => {
setPage(nextpage);
};

return (
<>

 navigateTo(showCart)}>

      ({cart.length})

      <input
        type="text"
        placeholder="Search items"
        onChange={(e) => setSearch(e.target.value)}
      />

    {page === showPage && returnProducts()}
    {page === showCart && returnCart()}

  </>
  );
}

image 1 is products page, after adding item to the cart I see that
In image two, those odd looking empty boxes are the added products, I see as many boxes as there are in the cart.
Here is what i get when i console log the product state
Any help is appreciated. Thank you :)

A: I didn't found anything wrong in your code. Do you think it might be a CSS style problem?
Your variable productstate is an array or an object?
If it's array, you should spread it.

Q: inequality between operator norm and infinity norm For a matrix $A$, is there any relation between operator norm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_norm#Induced_norm) and infinity norm (defined as the maximum of the absolute value of all the entries) ?

A: The fact:

Any norms in a given finite-dimensional vector space are equivalent.

And it is easy to check the space of $n\times m$ matrices is a finite-dimensional vector space; also the operator norm and infinity norm are really norms.
So they are equivalent!
i.e.
$$||A||\le C_1||A||_{\infty}$$ and $$||A||_{\infty}\le C_2||A||$$
and that might be the relation you want.

Tropical Storm Kyle Forms off the New Jersey Shore
Kyle is taking shape off of the Mid Atlantic coast, as this image from the GOES-East weather satellite shows. Image: NOAA
The National Hurricane Center has upgraded the tropical cyclone swiling off of the Mid Atlatic Coast to Tropical Storm Kyle, making it the the earliest "K" storm ever on record in the Atlantic. Kyle beats 2005's Katrina which formed on August 24 of that year.
Satellite imagery indicates that shower activity associated with the low pressure area located about 300 miles south-southwest of Nantucket, Massachusetts has become better organized. In addition, according to the NHC, recent satellite wind data show that the circulation is becoming better defined, with winds to near gale force to the southeast of the center. With a tropical storm structure and winds present, the NHC will begin issuing advisories on Kyle starting at 5pm ET.
The storm system is expected to move east northeastward which would bring it away from the Mid Atlantic coast, southeast of New England, and south of the Canadian Maritime provinces. However, computer forecast model guidance suggests the system could merge with a strong area of low pressure over the North Atlantic over time; if this occurs, portions of Europe could be impacted by a large, severe storm as this system crosses the Atlantic.
While direct impacts aren't expected along the Mid Atlantic and New England coasts, there could be rough seas and rip currents. Even experienced swimmers and surfers are urged to use extreme caution when entering the ocean and to observe posted warning signs and instructions from lifeguards.

A wind-power producer based in Alberta, Canada will get almost $25-million in government funding.
Montreal — A wind-power producer based in Alberta will get almost $25-million in federal government funding, Natural Resources Minister John Efford announced Monday.
The $24.7-million for Summerview Wind Farm, near Pincher Creek in southern Alberta, comes after a commitment in the Throne Speech to address climate change and support alternative-energy industries, a news release said.
The $95-million Summerview Wind Farm has 38 wind turbines producing a total of 68 megawatts.
"We're proud to support the expansion of the wind-power industry in Canada through this new contribution agreement with Vision Quest Windelectric for the Summerview Wind Farm," Mr. Efford said as he attended a wind-energy conference in Montreal.
Vision Question Windelectric is a subsidiary of TransAlta Corp. and has said it wants to increase power production at the Summerview Wind Farm.


Seth Godin's new book, Linchpin, has arrived. I read it on the farmer's sofa.
The farmer is going through a midlife crisis. It's not really a midlife crisis, though. As an expert on the process of coming of age in one's twenties, I'd have to say that the farmer is actually going through a quarterlife crisis.
Learning to separate from parents.
Figuring out where one fits in the world of work.
Getting ready to be married and have kids.
The farmer is doing those things in compressed time: the two years since I have known him. Many people think it was totally crazy that he sent an email to me, out of the blue. But in hindsight it's clear that he knew he needed something to kick-start his quarterlife crisis. And when you are already forty and have not had one, you need something as cataclysmic as a girl from New York coming to the farm and shaking things up.
The farmer is on the sofa. I had to convince him to let me come here because there is a snowstorm coming. The snow is a big deal if you have a thousand animals out in freezing weather and can't get food to them. I am not going to go into all the details of the stresses of winter farming. Mostly because I don't know them. But I do know that every time there is a lot of snow, something freezes and it always seems to be life threatening: Like water for the pigs.
So I bring him pie, and I love eating pie because, as the mother of two boys who is almost always on the edge of an anxiety breakdown, I eat lots of carbs. I used to feel bad but then the farmer, who always seems to come across new research about the age-old problem of how to eat less pie, found this book, How We Decide, by Jonah Lehrer. It's a great book, and I don't think Lehrer would mind me calling him an almost-Malcolm Gladwell. Lehrer can put all the research together in fun ways, but he can't synthesize it into a fascinating, overarching thesis like Gladwell often does.
So the farmer is reading Lehrer's book, and he tells me about a study where researchers gave people either long or short numbers to remember, and then they sent the person down the hall and gave them a choice of a piece of fruit or chocolate cake. The people who had the long, difficult numbers to remember picked the cake at a much higher rate.
So that's where we are, at the farm, on the sofa. I am asking the farmer to do long numbers. It's not just that he has to go through a quarterlife crisis in order to get married. But he also has to accept that he used to have the life of someone asked to remember only short numbers: the farm is stable, steady, paid for, and he's been doing it so long he could do it in his sleep. So with no stress, he was always able to pick fruit instead of cake.
Now, with me and the kids in the mix, he has to do things like come home from thawing the pig water to hear me tell him that the flies in the house are not normal, even for a farm, and there is something going on in the walls and I can't live in a house that is fly-infested.
Me bringing the pie is like saying, you can't get out of fixing the flies, but at least you can have your favorite carbohydrate delivery system to make up for the stress I'm causing you.
He is still not convinced, by the way. Forget that I already told the world that we're getting married. We are not. Who knows what we're doing–I also told the world that we are broken up. We are not that either. The only thing we are definitely doing is reading Linchpin on the sofa on the farm in the quietest time of year.
He hears me turn a page and asks me to tell him what I'm learning. Here's what I'm learning: If you are a really hard worker and you have perseverance and people are completely charmed by you, then you are indispensible in your work. I am that. I would not say I'm completely charming, but I am charming enough so that I do not get fired when I am difficult.
The farmer is not indispensible. I am not allowed to write about why this is. But he has agreed that I can write that he is clearly not a linchpin on the farm, the way it is set up now.
So we talk about how Seth Godin says that people should strive to be linchpins. And Seth spends 300 pages telling us what it means to be a Linchpin and why it's important. The farmer's head is on one end of the sofa and my head is on the other, and our legs are intertwined in the middle, and I have to shift my knee when I want to see if the farmer is insulted when I suggest that I'm a Linchpin and he's not.
He is not insulted. We agree that if he would commit to being married, then he'd be a Linchpin to me and my sons. But he is still deciding.
And here comes my review of Seth's book: He is right. Of course. Seth is always right. The problem with all of Seth's books is that he sets the bar so high with every one of them. For example, The Dip is probably the book that I depended on most to get me through the point when my company, Brazen Careerist, ran out of money. I thought I was going to die. And chapters in The Dip would remind me that if we'd keep going, we'd get through it.
So Seth was right, but I am not sure I could get through it again. It was scary. It was gut wrenching, and it was terrible for my kids. Not very many people can get through a dip, for real.
The same is true with Seth's book, Tribes. It's a great life goal—to have big ideas that people want to follow, and you are a leader by giving people strength in numbers to instigate change through ideas. That's great, if you have the ideas and you can get a following. As a blogger who is asked all the time about how to get more followers, I have this advice to give you: Cancel your whole life if you want to attract a tribe, because it is absolutely a full-time job, and you have to give your whole heart and soul to that tribe in order to receive, in return, a following.
So that's two things that Seth's right about that are extremely hard to get yourself to decide to actually do. I think Linchpin is another. It's totally obvious to me (and the farmer) that it's more important for him to have a job where he is the Linchpin—keeping a family together—than it is for him to just keep coasting along in the job he has. Which means he has to figure out what he likes in his current situation and what he wants to change.
But change is hard. And usually small change (remembering a longer number sequence) begets bigger change (eating chocolate cake even if you don't usually do that) so that you always get scared that you don' t know when change will stop.
Of all his books, I am hoping that this is the one where all Seth's readers will, en masse, finally decide they must rise to the standard that Seth's preaching. Of course, I hope at least the farmer will read the book and decide he must be a Linchpin and then, I move to the farm with my kids.
So when he gets off the sofa, I leave Linchpin there in the center, so he can't miss it, but upside down, so he doesn't think I'm preaching.
Digressive comment: You can make Sorry! go faster by playing with fewer starting pawns. If our family of 4 (with twin 5 year old boys) plays and each person has the default 4 pawns, the game takes over an hour. Start with 2 pawns each and it takes less than 30 minutes.
Nope. Can't go there. Used to like the word "pawn". It's a great word. But that's before my ex stole my jewelry to take it to a **** shop. Now, even the game Sorry has all sorts of implications!
My mom hated playing Sorry! when I was growing up, but I loved it. As a way of making it more fun for her, she made us play it while speaking in funny accents and saying/singing "Sorry!" operatically to make it go faster.
Interesting post that reads like the calm before a storm. Can't wait for the storm to descend.
I've been reading your blog since we met in Madison in Sept/Oct and I can honestly say you are the most authentic person I have ever known. Thanks for the info about Seth's book and for sharing your life with us.
It's obvious from your blogs that the farmer does not love you. You are delusional to think that this relationship is real or reciprocal. He's young and doesn't fully know what he wants. And you're convincing. But you can't convince someone to love you.
I don't think you are qualified to say this. Firstly you are not the farmer and inside his head. None of us are. Secondly you are making this conclusion from Penelope's posts not the farmer's posts. She is also not the farmer and inside his head, though I think she probably has better insight into it than you do.
Maybe not. But you can hear PT repeating her pattern and giving him ultimatums again.
I like the concept of Linchpin a lot. i somehow connect with the concept of Connector, from The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. I think it's a very powerful thing to be.
Seth Godin writes great books, but they're too heavy on reader-flattery: "Person holding my book, you're oh-so-special and wonderful, you'll beat everyone else." Sure, reading a marketing self-help book puts you ahead of the pack, but that doesn't make *everyone* a Purple Cow.
Purple cows? I need to finally read a Seth Godin book, sounds like a trip.
also is hesitant because he and I both know that city girls do not hang around the farm after the thrill is gone.
So manage his expectations at least in the "I may be a flake dept.,yet I am going to let you know how and when if possible to soften things and make me seem less unpredictable". When you get ready to leave the farm set the stage for a easy transition for both of you. He will follow you, I would.
This is the kind of post you do best: you're good at synthesizing around a theme (like Gladwell). In fact, I'd venture to say you're one of the very best out there at this kind of writing. A great pleasure to read: excellent work.
He has a point there re this is your best kind of post. The synthesizing variety.
I'm only partway through Linchpin but am definitely grasping the concept of being indispensable. I hope farmer is able to grasp that concept soon too!
I'm reading Linchpin as well. It's a good book, but it would be an awesome article or series of blog posts. The problem is that it's mind-numbingly repetitive. I keep thinking that I've accidentally lost my place because I know I've read a particular paragraph before. It's also complicated by the fact that he has all of these boldfaced headings as if the book is impeccably organized, but the headings don't really mean anything, they just add to the fluff. This makes me really ambivalent about the book, because I love what I'm learning; it might change my life, but man, that guy needs an editor. Did anyone else feel this way too?
Linchpin/lynchpin/lunchpin…. hmmmm…. what I think is, in your job, you should just try to do the best quality work that you can do; with all the integrity, honesty and authenticity that you can muster. And the rest will take care of itself. You might become a linchpin, or not, but at least you're done your best.
Is that really what would be best for a company; to have someone who is indispensible? What do they do when that person chooses to move on?
Why don't you write shorter posts? Really, you lost me by the fourth "the farmer".
I like your writing, but it goes forever, and I read you at work.
I hope it's okay that I have quite a blog-crush on you. I love your writing style and your perspective. I hope you don't let the negative pinheads leaving stupid comments pull you down. You are a purple cow if ever there was one and reading your posts is consistently a highlight of my day. Thanks.
@ Mike – My comment is above yours so I'm assuming you are referring to moi.
What's negative about 'write shorter posts'? That it should have included the word 'please'?
And really- 'negative pinhead'? 'Stupid Comment'? Yikes, I'm back to high school, but I'm a mature person now, so here it goes: Mike, my apologies for offending your crush-Nerd!
1. Thank you for admitting that you cheat to make kids game go faster.
2. Give the farmer some time, he's used to tending things, adding a wife is one thing,but two kids deserve someone who has seriously contemplated the job.
3. Seth Godin's books always seem to inspire and depress me at the same time. You nailed it, creating a Tribe is a 24/7 job. I think I know why it's usually men who write these books, heavy sigh, all the idea are great, but alas, there are only so many hours in the day, and being a Purple Cow, leading a Tribe and being Linchpin, all take a singularity of focus that can be challenging when you're living in a world where your kids don't care who the F** you lead, they just want you to get them to viola lessons on time.
Lolol, ain't that the truth.
Making a tribe takes sacrifice and sometimes, it's just not worth the who I would be sacrificing.
I love your honesty. I also got my copy to read too. And I'm loving it.
wow, this post has so many different ideas that my head is spinning (in a good way, mind you). Makes me want to read one of Seth Godin's books – which was probably the intent – but it also amazes me that you can start off talking about Lynchpin and somehow weave pie, a study on the effects of stress (or is it carbohydrates?) on memory, and Sorry! into what the title suggests is a semi book review. And despite the fact that this was a rather long and meandering post, you neglected to tell us one very important thing: what kind of pie was it?
okay, I wrote a really pithy comment and somehow it disappeared when I hit 'submit,' so I'll try to recapture my thoughts – this post has so many ideas it makes my head spin! (in a good way, mind you) It simply amazes me how you can start off with Seth Godin's book and somehow weave in a personal story involving pie, a study on the effects of stress on memory and dessert selection, and Sorry! into the post and still have it make at least a little sense. But you left out the most important piece of information: what kind of pie was it?
… an alluring pipe-dream which philosophers of language have long had … once the smoke has cleared, we are told, the sense in which … in the light of various possible reactions and objections [from readers] to your 'the farmer' writing, we shall (shall we?) find … when Ludwig Wittgenstein wrote about pausing to re-light his pipe, does it matter whether he "really" did light the pipe again? Not to me! While I am still enjoying breathing and heart-beatings, I have not 'bought the farm.' I take 'the farmer' at its word(s). My favorite 'dip' was in the pond on the farm of my maternal grandparents, after I had been riding the June grain (oats and wheat) combine in the North Carolina rural summer of 1954, two months before I would turn age ten.
I loved this post! I like how you make the farmer come to life in your blog. You're staying true to his request to not tell everything about him, and that makes me admire you (and him) even more.
This, to me, was like a yummy Valentine!
Based on the entry I can identity (to my shock) three times I've been a linchpin, i.e., at the center of the action, the puller-together. It was scary and then became exciting. It was a role I was not used to but I did silly stuff like volunteer or show up to work when someone else volunteered me.
For awhile, during those projects, I loved going to work. Me. Yes, me. But then the projects ended. Instead of learning to capitalize on the moments of indispensibility and find other projects, I chose to fade into the plaster. A mistake.
And what if the Farmer continues to follow the "indispensible" path? Will you be satisfied knowing that he COULD be a linchpin? But chooses not to? Or maybe it's not a choice. Maybe he's just not that kinda person.
Now you've gone and writen the perfect "how it relates to me" review.
Been thinking of writing my review for days. Uggg.
Well, good job. Thanks for setting the bar a bit higher.
Great post, PT! I, too, have suggested to my spouse that he needs to read Linchpin. On those good high-confidence days, I'd definitely say I'm a linchpin in my company, at worst, I'm a really hard worker who's always pushing at the edges. My husband, like the farmer, is not a linchpin – he's a good worker who's content with what he has. My ambition vs his competent complacency is a constant tension in our relationship…but one I've come to appreciate. I know that left to my own devices, I'd be much more of a workaholic, I'd be changing jobs/moving every couple of years chasing the next great job. It's a good thing to have a stable partner who balances against my penchant for living my through spontaneous gut instincts. I think in return, I add a little more excitement and mental challenge to his life. And good food – always good food.
I'm assuming you mean your husband's a non-linchpin at work, right? If so, cherish him.
My husband also is a non-linchpin. It's his personality. He enjoys being the guy who does the work and leaving the leadership headache to someone else. At work, that is.
My husband's whole focus is his life after work. His family. He's home every evening and every weekend, and he's always here for us. He's the linchpin of our hearts.
I was once a linchpin but then my Ohio company merged with some California guys and they had linchpins too. It ended up that the newly formed organization had more California linchpins so most of the Ohio pins became un-linched.
I was once like the farmer too. I was single and doing fine just me and the dog but I wanted a relationship someone to share life with. Then along came the nurse. I quickly fell in love with the nurse but I was a bit apprehensive about the nurse's dog, daughter and son so I held tight to the nurse but dragged my feet otherwise. She was so patient with me, up until the day she was not! My foot dragging days were running out but I was too scared to do what I really should do and she was too tired to wait. Who's going to blink?
She left. I was devastated and awakened. After three years of foot dragging I have now been kicking up my heels with the nurse for 23 years.
Penelope, you may not be there yet but I see a stare down coming for you and the farmer. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this blog. Read BC as often as I can and appreciate your bravery and the insights you share. If we all worked hard, persevered, and were kind, gracious and friendly (no gossip), we truly could make this world a better place. No one is truly indespensible though–if I got scooped up by aliens tomorrow, they'd find someone to replace me. I'm humble enough to know that they wouldn't be as good as me in the same ways, but they'd be better than me in others. Your "hint" was subtle as a freight train for the farmer, but I know sometimes subtle doesn't work (at least with my husband).
If you are a really hard worker and you have perseverance and people are completely charmed by you, then you are indispensible in your work.
Can I second that you are a GREAT PLEASURE TO READ. That even sounds like the high compliment that it is….
I really enjoyed your blog! You are (and deserve a fellow) Linchpin. Don't wait for someone else to determine your life path…move forward in the way YOU want to…take pleasure in yourself and let the farmer make his decision alone.
You know, I think that in some ways Americans have a pattern of family forming that is quite destructive.
"Learning to separate from parents.
This is a new framework and one that deprives families of their wealth as well as the interconnectedness of the generations.
In so many successful societies, including our own before we threw the parents out of the home, there was a sense that families worked together, that SEPARATION was not a desirable phenomenon as that relates to the generations, and that the shared wisdom and support of the generations provided everyone with continued perspective RATHER than insurmountable gaps.
I truly believe that if we didn't send our kids off to be raised by State schools that the natural affection that was so common up until 1850 or so in America among family members would give us a much healthier society.
The further we get from the intact multi-generational family model, the further our kids suffer, as our public school graduates now rank dead last in the developed world in terms of knowledge, and, at the same time, are told that, by the age of 21, they are to be out of the home and on their own.
Beth, Interested in where you got your data. I worked in public schools for over 20 years, and intuitively agree with you, but would like to know where you found the data point mentioned.
I coached quiz bowl teams for years, and found that the kids most attracted to being on the team were math/science nerds who weren't particularly good at the kind of quick response to general inquiries that the game rewards.
Particularly egregious, I thought, were kids great in AP Chem, who seemed to have no real sense of the Periodic Chart. Or kids great at AP Physics, who seemed to have no sense of the history of scientific discoveries that paved the way for modern physics, with great in both case being defined as getting A's and B's in the coursework, and 4's and 5's on the AP tests.
We don't seem to value general intelligence, as witness the marketing of the Republican Party for at least the last 30 years, if not all the way back to Harding.
1. Fantastically woven post. I love it when you write like this.
2. I recently had a conversation with a co-worker where she said "I was once in a serious relationship with a fellow who had kids and everyone kept asking me if I was OK with being a mom. Why? Yes, I like them, but they already have a mother. I'm not about to infringe on her territory of motherhood just because he didn't want to be alone." It was an interesting point of view, because I've always been of similar mind to you and the above commenters. Just a thought.
3. I think the Farmer and I could use some mutual motivation for not staring at the closed door so long that the open one shuts.
I think I've been through my quarter life crisis now. Your blog has had the effect you describe for Seth Godin's books – you've raised the bar for me as a blogger. Damn this is good – so compelling. For what its worth, I think that Seth Godin is the master of making common sense sound really appealing – no bad thing at all, the world needs more. Not sure if I want to be a lynchpin yet – I'll save that for the mid-life crisis!
I enjoy reading your stuff, even though I shake my head a lot at your expanding/collapsing spiral life/thoughts, but I have to say to the farmer.
Farmer: You're a much braver man than I am and I really feel for you and this roller coaster your on.
Seriously? You're not going to tell us what kind of pie?!?
I've been eating bagels and lox as a sandwich since kiddieland.
I'll always eat bagels and lox that way, and last week, for our third major snow, but first legit BLIZZARD in years, I bought me a half dozen bagels and 6 oz of lox.
But Pen: what kind of pie? And no ice cream?
Peach or apple with vanilla work hard for me. Cherry I like conceptually better than literally, and I prefer my blueberrys raw, by the handful. Strawberry can be nice, but raspberry with plenty o' vanilla, is to die for.
And yes, Seth is always right. Thanks for the reappraisal. The Dip is priceless.
Still dispensable, but working on it, Jay.
Seth Godin's books always seem to inspire and depress me at the same time. You nailed it, creating a Tribe is a 24/7 job. I think I know why it's usually men who write these books, heavy sigh, all the idea are great too. Thanks for the post, it is such a very good read.
I am charming enough so that I do not get fired when I am difficult.
This is a great statement. I used to be this charming, but somewhere along the way I lost it. Thanks for the reminder that I need to find it again!
Seth Godin is a master. I've read most of his books. The first one was Permission Marketing and it changed the way I thought of online marketing. I didn't even know he was behind Squidoo until recently. I can't wait to get my hands on Linchpin.
"If Seth Godin didn't exist we'd need to invent him" Thats What Alan Webber, Founder, Fast Company said, and I agree!
Seth Godins books are an excellent read. I first came across him with the Idea Virus and always look forward to his latest read with anticipation. He does set the bar high, but its interesting to see other people who are successful utilizing his ideas. One idea I particularly like is that of building something or providing a service that is "remarkable". I guess the problem is that "remarkable" is indeed just that, and getting to remarkable is not always easy.
I look for to reading Lynchpin.
I know several people that loves Seth Godin and his books. I haven't gotten a hold of one so I couldn't tell. But with you telling me us about how fantastic they are, I would take your word on it.
On a different note, I am wondering how do yours kids deal with your Asperger's syndrome. I wonder how you are as a mother as you've been a prolific writer. I wonder how its' like to live with a Penelope Trunk. You are not necessarily the best but your posts are just the right read for me.
I always love reading his books, Im now waiting anxiously for his next book to come out.
Actually, you can just stop reading when you want and those of us who want more can keep reading. The length of Penelope's posts are just fine. Go read a yahoo article if you want a brief summary of something.
I came here from another homeschooling post and I am still here, reading everything else on this blog.
Emotionally, I don't understand it when a woman acts as if she knows a man better than he knows himself. I see the value in helping the guy, being his friend, but I don't see the value in trying to convince him there is "more" between us. I'm not saying the man always has to be the one to define the relationship, but surely, you are leaving some things out in your blog posts, because it makes no sense to keep on reeling him back without getting any signs of real romantic interest from him. A man has to make the initial investment -the ring, being a symbol of the promise to love- and then I'm all his – forever. This is what makes him a man.

Celebrating 25 years of World Egg Day
September 28, 2021 By Egg Farmers of Canada
Each year around the world, the second Friday in October marks a special day to celebrate the mighty egg. It's World Egg Day! On Friday, October 8th egg farmers and fans worldwide are sharing their love of eggs, and the positive impact they offer for health, sustainability, community strength and much more.
On World Egg Day this year, we're celebrating the many benefits of the humble egg and the more than 1,200 Canadian egg farmers who produce them. Take a closer look at the Canadian egg industry and learn how egg farmers are making an impact from coast to coast in this celebratory video.
To help get you in the World Egg Day spirit, here are 25 egg-citing facts about eggs and the Canadian egg industry.
Eggs are the perfect ingredient for dishes all over the world, like this hearty vegetable soup that fuses Portuguese and Moroccan flavours. There are so many "egg-cellent" recipes to be enjoyed, we pinned them all on Pinterest!
More than 90% of Canadians have confidence in the quality standards held by Canadian farmers. The EQA® program is a symbol of that trust and Canadian egg farmers' commitment to excellence.
Eggs are prepared in many different ways across Canada. They can be found in salads, sauces, cookies, cakes, stratas, frittatas and more—the possibilities are endless!
Eggs are a go-to ingredient for both home chefs like Vijaya Selvaraju and professionals like Chef Josh Gale.
Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense natural food sources on the planet. For example, just two eggs have a whopping 13 grams of high-quality protein.
Eggs have essential nutrients that improve brain function, support physical strength and aid growth in children.
Canadians love Canadian eggs! The average Canadian consumes 255 eggs every year.
Eggs are one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D, also known as the "sunshine" vitamin.
The size of an egg is related to the age of the hen who lays it.
Eggs are a nutritional powerhouse. One egg has only 70 calories and offers 14 essential vitamins and minerals.
Egg yolks are darker in eggs from hens whose diets rely more on corn. Regardless of yolk colour, all egg varieties are equal in nutrition.
Brown eggs come from hens with brown feathers, while hens with white feathers lay white eggs.
Eggs are one of the most environmentally sustainable animal-source proteins available.
Canada's egg farmers are leaders in sustainable farming. The environmental footprint of the industry declined by 50% over the past 50 years, while egg production increased by 50%!
Eggs are produced locally in every province and the Northwest Territories. Canada's more than 1,200 egg farmers produced 789 million dozen eggs in 2020—that's over 9 billion eggs!
Canadian eggs are always fresh and high-quality, thanks to Start Clean-Stay Clean®, a strict on-farm food safety program.
More than 9 in 10 Canadians believe it is important that their eggs come from Canada.
Animal welfare is a top priority for Canadian egg farmers. They check on their flock multiple times a day and ensure hens have a balanced diet, fresh water and enjoy a temperature-stable clean air environment.
Eggs that are fresh will sink in water, while an older egg will float.
Eggs are stored in their carton for freshness, as well as to keep the egg's air cell in place and the yolk centered.
Eggs are graded through a process called candling, where the egg passes over a bright light, revealing the condition of the shell, the size of the air cell and whether the yolk is well-centered.
The Canadian egg industry supports over 18,500 jobs and contributes $1.3B to Canada's GDP.
Eggs are graded by weight into categories that include peewee, small, medium, large, extra large, and jumbo.
Eggs play a role in regenerative medicine, like bone regeneration and tissue engineering.
Since 2019, egg farmers across Canada have given back to their local communities by donating millions of eggs to local food banks, breakfast programs and other charitable organizations.
Join the celebration by cooking up your favourite egg dish and sharing the excitement on social media using the hashtag #WorldEggDay! Be sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for more on World Egg Day and Canada's egg industry.
150 reasons Canadians love Canadian eggs and egg farmers
This World Egg Day, we're saying thank you

Time For Members of Congress to Pledge to Uphold Internet Freedom
Call To Action by Trevor Timm
Today, EFF joins a broad, international coalition of civil society groups calling on elected officials to sign the new Declaration of Internet Freedom and uphold basic rights in the digital world. The Declaration is simple; it offers five core principles that should guide any policy relating to the Internet: stand up for online free expression, openness, access, innovation and privacy. Sign it here.
For too long in the US, Congress has attempted to legislate the Internet in favor of big corporations and heavy-handed law enforcement at the expense of its users' basic Constitutional rights. Netizens' strong desire to keep the Internet open and free has been brushed aside as naïve and inconsequential, in favor of lobbyists and special interest groups. Well, no longer.
That all changed on January 18th when users around the country joined together in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)—the misguided copyright legislation that would have allowed for censorship of broad swaths of the Internet, while stifling innovation and threatening Internet security. SOPA, though its passage was once characterized as inevitable by the deep-pocketed content industry, was stopped in its tracks when millions of ordinary citizens told their representatives in one voice: Don't mess with the Internet.
Why were Internet users so empowered for the first time? For one reason, Internet freedom now affects virtually all of the American public—young and old—given the web's importance to everyone's daily life. It's also nonpartisan: elected officials from both sides of the aisle worked together to stop SOPA. Members of Congress in both parties now need to compete for the bragging rights as Internet defenders instead of taking every opportunity to erode ordinary users' rights.
Put simply, Internet freedom is now an election issue and candidates for elected office must treat it as such.
But while the power Internet users possess to shape public policy has never been greater, unfortunately, digital civil liberties have never been under more threat from Congress. SOPA was just the first of many pieces of legislation that Congress has debated this year with potential consequences for the Internet and digital civil liberties.
A month ago, the House of Representatives passed CISPA, a bill intended to address cybersecurity concerns, but which carves out a giant exception to all existing privacy laws, allowing companies to hand over your communications to the government voluntarily without a warrant. The Senate is currently debating their version and needs your input.
The FBI also wants Congress to pass an expansion of CALEA—also known as the Internet wiretapping law—that would force Internet companies to install backdoors into all their services so that the government can get real time access to Facebook private messages, email conversations and Skype calls. The FISA Amendments Act—which gutted privacy protections of Americans emailing overseas in the wake of the NSA warrantless wiretapping program—is also up for renewal this year. Congress has so far refused to reform the bill, despite evidence it has allowed dragnet surveillance of American citizens' communications without a warrant. Rep. Lamar Smith, the author of SOPA, has proposed a data retention bill, requiring every ISP to keep data on individual Internet users not suspected of any crime and allow law enforcement access to it. Other members of Congress have called for charges against WikiLeaks that threaten online press freedom.
And don't forget, according to the MPAA's chief lobbyist Chris Dodd, SOPA 2.0 may be around the corner.
Meanwhile, positive Internet legislation has been all but ignored. Patent reform is desperately needed to stop crippling lawsuits that are stifling software innovation. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act—the primary law which governs email—was written before the world wide web even existed, and Congress has yet to update it to give warrant protections that has always been given to physical letters. Similarly, a bill requiring a warrant for cell phone and GPS tracking has been stuck in committee for years, despite the Supreme Court recently ruling that attaching a GPS device to a car with no court oversight is unconstitutional. The Global Online Freedom Act also has yet to see a floor vote, and positive cybersecurity or copyright legislation is nowhere to be seen.
Many international lawmakers have similarly attempted to legislate away Internet freedoms, and EFF will explain in more detail in the coming days, the pledge can also be used to positively affect the Internet globally.
But right now, we are asking for your help in getting Congress to respect digital civil liberties and work for the Internet rather than against it. Sign the Declaration of Internet Freedom so we all can build a movement for a censorship-free, open, and innovative Internet. You can also join the conversation on Reddit and propose your own changes. But most importantly, at the next 2012 election campaign stop in your hometown, hand it to candidates running for office and ask them to sign it.
Tell your member of Congress: Pledge to uphold the Declaration of Internet Freedom. In the digital age, their election may depend on it.

Q: Add exactly 2 equal Elements to an array I'm trying to add a random number (1...8) into an array.
I want to do this 16 times. The clue is, every number should only be in there twice. I got it working so far, but I don't think this is a clean way to do it. And the way I did it, it is not scaleable. If i wanted it to be, let's say for example 24 elements, and all of them 3 times, I'd have to rewrite all the code.  Do You have an idea how to fix that? Thanks in advance!
var Numbers: [Int] = []
var randomNumber: Int = 0
let size: Int = 16

var index1 = 0
var index2 = 0
var index3 = 0
var index4 = 0
var index5 = 0
var index6 = 0
var index7 = 0
var index8 = 0

// Methods / Functions

func createRandomNumber() {

    randomNumber = Int(arc4random() % 8 + 1)
}

func checkTwins() {

    switch randomNumber {
    case 1:
        index1++
        if index1 <= 2 {
            Numbers.append(randomNumber)
        }
        else {
            addRandomNumbertoArray()

}

func fillUpArray() {

    for _ in 1...size {
        addRandomNumbertoArray()
    }
}

// Calls

fillUpArray()
println(Numbers)

This was written in Swift Playground

A: What you can do is: First fill an array containing each of the
number 1, ..., 8 twice:
var array : [Int] = []
for i in 1 ... 8 {
    array.extend(Repeat(count: 2, repeatedValue: i))
}

and then shuffle the array randomly:
array.shuffle()

where shuffle() is a Fisher-Yates shuffle.
A Swift implementation can be found in
How do I shuffle an array in Swift?:
extension Array {
    mutating func shuffle() {
        for i in 0..<(count - 1) {
            let j = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(count - i))) + i
            swap(&self[i], &self[j])
        }
    }
}

This scales without problems to larger arrays and more repeated
elements.

Canobie Park Photos
Canobie Lake Postcards
Boston Day Trips
Canobie Lake Park
Canobie Lake Park is located in Salem New Hampshire. The amusement park has been family-owned and has operated for more than 100 years. The drive from Boston is only about one hour in length. The park continues to add rides periodically, and has outlived almost all other amusement parks in New England that did not remain competitive over the years.
The newer and most thrilling rides at the park are the Canobie Corkscrew (corkscrew roller coaster), Starblaster (drop tower), and Xtreme Frisbee (swirling flying disc). For the old-fashioned amusement lover, the park also has the Yankee Cannonball (1933 wooden roller coaster), Dodgems (1930s), and the Antique Carousel (1902). Some of the rides are classics, with generations revisiting the park to see the Sky Ride, maze of glass, antique autos, and Canobie Express mini-train. There are also several water rides, and a Kiddie-Land children's ride area.
Canobie Corkscrew
Canobie Lake Park was originally a trolley park for the Northeast Street Railway Corporation. Trolley parks allowed visitors from distant places to enjoy a summer outing in a rural setting. Many trolley parks were located near lakes, where boats or canoes could be rented for an hour. Bandstands and later dance halls were popular attractions for trolley parks. Canobie Lake's Dancehall Theater was a popular entertainment destination, with Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra performing there at one time. The fountain near the lake dates back to the trolley park era, and was known as the Electric Fountain because of its fanciful lighting at that time.
The park also has lots of other amusements, including competitive games such as Balloon Race or Water Gun, and skill games such as Top Aim or Whack the Cats. There are several arcades to play pinball, air hockey, video games, or ticket-dispensing games like classic skee ball. Canobie also has a variety of food vendors, and beverage purchasing stands. The aroma of fried dough, cotton candy, pretzels, and pizza fill the air at some locations in the park, which make such treats all the more appealing. Fireworks and live entertainment are frequently featured; just check the schedule on the official website. Finally, a large pavilion is available for private bookings, and many local corporations utilize this service for annual corporate events.
Canobie Lake is a very popular day trip from Boston, and a family-friendly attraction. The entry price at Canobie is less than the main competitor in New England, which is partially offset by food being a bit pricey but not unusual for such venues. Visitors may be able to take advantage of Canobie Lake Park coupons that have been offered at McDonalds for the past several years.
