Jaybird / April 29, 2016 in Saturday
As the diet continues, I've re-discovered the joys of the cheat day. (Okay, technically, the cheat *MEAL*.)
I never really appreciated them the last time I went on the diet. They felt more like I was doing some mixture of "I'm failing to successfully stay on my diet" and "the foods I eat every day are dumb foods and the cheat foods are the only ones that contain pleasure".
This time around, I'm trying a different tack: I get one evening a week that allows me to go nutso. If I want a sandwich, I eat a sandwich. If I want a handful of goldfish, I eat a handful of goldfish. If, a few hours after that, I feel like a pizza, then dangit, I get a pizza.
And then… back to the diet. It's okay. It's not some weird ascetic thing that I'm doing to myself. It's part of the diet. Something, something leptin levels. Additionally, since it's planned, I don't have to feel like my choice is between being the wet blanket "I'm on a diet, can you give me one without a bun?" at a cookout. I just know "okay, the cheat day is scheduled for the cookout" and then, come the cookout, I am *SUPPOSED* to go nuts.
And how much better will the host enjoy my enjoyment of his fine, fine hamburger when it's with the enthusiasm that comes from eating a cheat meal?
The downside of this is that I'm doing a fairly regular job of hammering home the whole "everyday foods are not special, only cheat foods are special" and I don't know what to do about that on a psychological level… but maybe it's not such a big deal. I know that I'm mere days away from having a special meal.
Like this Saturday night! We're going to be doing the D&D night thing again and it has been decided that we're doing BBQ. With baked beans! And potato salad (mustard potato salad, of course). And ice cream after!
And, Sunday, back to the low carb thing. But that's okay.
So… what's on your docket?

I'm just so glad to have made it through the weirdest schedule I've ever had and be (relatively) back to normal.
Don't even know what the weekend will entail other than what Jaybird said above, and sleep. Probably reading, and snuggling the cats.
It's meant to snow, though the snow today was unremarkable (like drizzle, only flakes instead of drops).

The D&D thing sounds cool.
I was thinking recently that I would sorta like to get a pencil & paper gaming group together sometime, but I'm not sure where I'd find the time.
This weekend: Gardening.
I need to thin out the hollyhocks a bit (growing like crazy) to let the mint get a bit of light to fill in.
I have some alternating flax & echinacea along the side, and I need to transplant some little flax plants & some little echinacea plants into a bare spot where the kitten decided to make a catbox-away-from-catbox in my garden.
She's got the right idea, but she needs to work on technique a bit, I'd say.
The Debs honeysuckle is starting to green up nice, and I need to get some cement in around the posts of the trellis before it comes too far along.
Grapevine not doing so well.

You're not using American Grapes?
(Grapes run wild all around where I am… they're a plague and a pest, though not nearly as bad as the knotweed. And some idiot planted bamboo…)

I've had problems with bindweed elsewhere in the general area, but it's creeping charlie around here that's the big issue.
Not sure what kind of grapes these are, but they're red seeded grapes, and huge– almost like a small muscadine.

If you're putting together a group of newbies, eschew D20 and look at the FATE based systems. Very storytelling, less dice-heavy, and you spend a lot less time trying to figure out the rules for Attacks of Opportunity. :)

Jaybird says:
I agree with this. The mindset of the DM has to switch from "I'm supposed to provide obstacles for the players" to "we're supposed to tell an awesome story together". (Not that the latter precludes obstacles. It definitely includes doing so! It's just that that's not the emphasis.)
JaybirdQuote Link

Explain please.
I tend to like a 1st ed. AD&D w/ Unearthed Arcana blended with Warhammer 1st ed. rev.
The main takeaways from Warhammer were the expanded use of saving throws for tests, fate points, and critical hits.
Are these systems essentially the same as use of fate points?
I've played in D&D games where it was downright adversarial. TPK (Total Party Kill) was seen as a reasonable outcome of a dungeon crawl and there were DMs who saw that as a laudable goal.
The best you could hope for was a DM who agreed to some small set of ground rules… if there are only 4 players, all of whom are level 2, then there should not be more than 8 levels of monsters in any given encounter, so 8 skeletons *OR* 4 blink dogs *OR* 2 Grey Oozes.
See? Now you're doing math in order to hammer out what is or is not "fair".
In Fate, however, the idea behind the story is that the DM is trying to give you an opportunity to tell a story, everyone together.
This means that everyone gets a monologue (and by "a", we mean "one"). Everyone gets to have an awesome moment in a fight. Everyone gets to steal a scene. (These all include the DM, of course.)
And the ideal session involves the last character left conscious in the last scene knocking the bad guy out on the last roll of the night.
The goals are different.
TPK is one thing.
Dropping a horse out of an airplane onto someone's head to kill them is another.
The latter calls for extreme measures… enter Old Man Henderson.
I think I'd dislike the whole "everyone gets to be super shiny" just as much as anything else. I'd rather have a real world to play in, and be really memorable as myself. Or, if I don't want to be memorable, just go along for the ride. "Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!"
Mr. Fischoeder didn't need a "Crowning Moment of Awesome"… he just kinda was.
I would demand to see the DM roll that particular die in the middle of the table.
Because if you're going to pull that crap, you may as well just open the first session with "nobody bother rolling up a character, we've got a TPK" and then you can quiver in delight for a minute before handing the DM's screen off to the next person in the rotation.
Crowning moments of awesome are up to you, but FATE runs on…FATE points.
You enter a room full of mooks and interesting machinery? GM holds up a FATE token and says to you "Your gear-head of a character is going to be really distracted by all the machinery, don't you think?" (Gear head being a defining character trait you chose yourself). If you say "Yes" you get the FATE token — or you can spend one you have to say "No, distracting as it is — I'll focus on the mooks".
And those tokens can be done for…a lot. Reroll a roll, add +2 to a roll (a sizeable amount), to activate certain rather powerful abilities….
Just to give you an idea of "complicated" FATE based combat — here's how my Earth mage in the Dresden Files RPG uses magic.
"I want to use my powers to shake the earth beneath his feet, putting him off-balance!". To do so I make, at most, two rolls. One skill to pull up power (the name of which escapes me!), one skill (discipline) to control it. I have 4 ranks in both (I'm "Great") at it, so I can pull up 4 and control 4 without a roll. Shaking the earth is not a particularly difficult feat, so I'll choose 4 and 4 and not roll at all. The target has to make an athletics roll (for a total of 4 or better) or be "Off Balance".
Combat really works like this:
Mage: "I shake the earth beneath the gunman's feet, putting him off balance!"
Detective: "I fire a few shots, flushing him out of cover".
Ex-Soldier: "He's "Off Balance" and "Exposed" — I shoot him!" (Both those descriptors give him +2. So the soldier is "Great" at guns –+4. He adds another +4 by using "off balance" and "exposed". He's not at +8 — and then he rolls a +1. So +9 to guns
Gunman: Rolls athletics to deal with the +9 shot. He gets a 4. That leaves 5 shifts of damage (the difference) which is…painful. He might be able to take the hit — but he might be forced to accept a consequence for it. (Bleeding heavily, lamed, in shock, etc) — which is another thing people can use against him.
It's all about tempo — you don't roll basic attacks, you don't use special skills or once-a-day items. It's about a story — a fight scene. "I rip the metal pots off the wall with my magnetic powers, flinging them at him to distract him!" — and injuries add up until you're forced to take consequences or get taken out.
And some of those consequences can last.. a long time. They can become character defining (like losing an eye or a hand or developing a crippling phobia). Some go away quickly ("winded"), some last a gaming session ("concussed").
And social and mental combat work the same way. It's a story, a fight scene acted out. The rules are simplified — you want to flank him, to give your buddy a better shot at your foe? You…move and your opponent moves, as you try to pin him between you and your friend. If you roll better, he's flanked — which is a plus 2 bonus to whomever taps that aspect first.
The whole system is built on aspects (like flanked, wounded, distracted) — your environment is build on them, your fight scenes are built on them — they're used to define your character ("Gear head", "Doesn't know what he doesn't know", "bull headed", "Painful limp").
And the best ones — especially for characters — are the ones that cut both ways. So it's about imagination, innovation, and….working out the story you want to tell.
Totally different thing then.
A character gets a certain number of Fate Points at the character creation phase, and it's a bit different for each class. A player can expend a Fate Point to change any die roll (usually whatever kills the character). The rationale is that it is the Fate Points that make the characters heroes in the milieu, and therefore worth playing.
Critical hits take two forms: One is where the character just kills the monster with one swipe (or finishes it off), and the other is to strike a certain limb, e.g., lopping off an arm.
There is a rule in the 1st ed. PH that states that any attacker with intelligence above animal level with strike at the head 50% of the time. There is good and bad to this, but I've found it easier to do without it.
As far as combat goes, blending in the grappling & pummeling rules makes the whole thing a bit more exciting, and the expanded use of saving throws add to the effect.
Thanks for explaining that.
FWIW, I'm not really so much of a story-telling type gamer as much as a puzzle-solving type.
Chicken-egg, I guess.
No, FATE systems are designed for cooperative storytelling from the ground up. FATE dice are the only dice used (they're just six sided dice, half with a "+" symbol, half with a "-". You roll four at a time, so the results range from -4 to +4).
But everything, from combat to character creation, is designed for storytelling.
The mechanics are simplified (one set of dice, every form of combat is run through the same mechanism — social, mental, and physical) but still versatile. Character traits are stressed.
Even GM railroading is built into the game — players get rewarded for playing in character, even when it's to their detriment, and use those rewards to be…epic. :)
pillsy says:
I think the issue is less FATE vs d20 and it's more just managing the weight of dealing with all the stuff that comes with a game. I introduced two newbies to D&D via the (now ten years old!) D&D 3.x "basic" boxed set, and they had a blast–even with the Attacks of Opportunity. But it came with a big map, and minis/counters, and pregen PCs, allowing it to work more like a (familiar and comforting) boardgames while avoiding the daunting "flip back and forth through the PHB" of character creation.

Yeah, I can see how character creation can be a PITA, and not really necessary for everything (Enter Concept: Give People Single Page Backstory).
The whole "I have created a character with 14 pages of notes and an artifact level weapon that will not activate until she learns the activation word which has been lost and, as such, is only a regular +1 staff until the activation word is regained" phenomenon is something we all must pass through on our way to being able to be handed a pre-rolled character and being told "you drew the short straw… you're the mage."
You haven't seen the 300+ pages of handwritten backstory in order to introduce a character to get back at the GM who dropped a horse out of an airplane onto your character.

Well worth a read.
Some people write up "insanely convenient backstory"… other people just write really, really complicated backstories that are truly awesome. As in: you should see the backstory for the Lonely Assassins.
Diets are fun when you let them be fun.
I've been doing vegan one week a month (It's supposed to lower blood cholesterol for blood tests, I have the pubmed study to prove it — if it's just a placebo effect, well, no side effects!).
But it's not boring, because I find the food I eat then to be delightful (this week is a lot of hummus and matzah, because passover).
Be thankful cheat meals won't kill you. That's… not always the case.

I am being a good Jewish boy this weekend. My mom loves the congregation she found out in the Bay Area much more than the old and stuffy one we went to on the East Coast. West Coast Jews are a bit more innovative in what they allow in their services and the atmosphere is more casual and relaxed. The cantor is doing a concert at a venue in Berkeley and she wants me to attend. The cantor also happens to be Michael Chabon's sister-in-law and has a small nose ring.

Re: weight loss. A few years back I was 202. I am now 182. (I have stayed 6 ft tall.) There really is no substitute for eating less, cutting way (to the nth degree) back on sugar, and moderate exercise. I do miss soda, but oh the occasional Coke tastes good. The other sacrifice — per my wife's doctor's request — is almost no beef. which sucks. but I'm thinking that it's been a long time since we last went to a steakhouse.

On a physical level, perhaps.
On a mental/emotional level? I do not have the strength. I have to do something like South Beach or else the diet will fail quickly.
I tend to work quite late (home around 8:30 pm) because my job regularly requires me to exchange emails with people in Hong Kong and China. The only way to have a warm meal at the end of the day is to do plan and prep the Sun -Thurs meals on Sunday. This is usually a large batch of protein and veg — chicken or pork — cooked Sunday evening to cover four meals and one piece of fish. Friday is pizza. Saturday is dinner out / leftovers / a special meal.
yah I'm usually pretty bored of what's in the fridge by Thursday, but the alternative is delivery or to-go and BAM there goes the diet. Advance planning makes it work for me.
I don't get bored that easy. Yeah, maybe after two weeks of something, but four days? boo, I'm eating something else for lunch, aren't i? If it's good, it's good enough to eat four times in a row.
greginak says:
I do the cook on sunday night for the week deal which works for me. Luckily, very lucky, i can eat the same dinner several nights in a row with no problem since i like my cooking. I'm also always tired at night since i've just come from running or skiing so i have little desire to do more then heat up pre-cooked food.
But there is no way around moderate intake of good food and exercise ( most of the time) as the way to maintain a good weight.

Recipe Exchange!
After a few too many episodes of Triple-D, I finally got the courage to make a slow-roasted pork shoulder, along with sides of black beans, tomatillo salsa, pickled carrots and red onions and a couple of other things.. I didn't pull it when it came out of the oven because I thought it would get dry. But it was easy enough to shred and pulled pork tacos made for a very nice week of eating.
I do a lot of dinner soups. Poach a chicken with aromatic veg and make a nice stock. Dice up the chicken and some veg and keep in the fridge. Heat up the stock with varying array of chicken, veg and noodles. Add in a little extra flavoring (maybe some miso) and voila.
Chili that's mostly beans with some pork is another good one.
Oh, I love my slow cooker meals (though there is this thing where they eventually all start tasting like each other).
The problem is making stuff for me and making stuff for me and Maribou requires two different recipes.
So that slows stuff down.

About 15 years ago or so, Hermosa Beach had a self-brew place that I used a couple of times. Nothing that I made was all that special but it was interesting. Google suggests that it's out of business.

Кетрин Емсли Андерсон (Dr Catherine Emslie Anderson, Маскилије, 26. децембар 1881 —  јануар 1934) била је енглеска докторица на Цејлону и у Енглеској и учесница Великог рата у саставу Болницама шкотских жена за службу у иностранству у јединицама у Солуну и на Корзици.

Живот и каријера
Родила се 26. децембра 1881. године у Маскилијеу на Цејлону, данас Шри Ланка, од оца Џејмса Андерсона узгајивача чаја  и мајке Изабеле Крејб. Још у детињству младој Емсли је највероватније љубав према медицини усадио њен стриц Џејмс Крејб који је на Цејлону радио као колонијални хирург.

Захваљујући укидању закон у Великој Британији којим су постојала ограничења за додељивање медицинских квалификација по основу пола, Кетарин е отишла у Европу и на Медицинском факултету у Абердину (Шкотска)  стекла диплому лекара 1904. године.

Диплому специјалисте тропске медицине стекла  је 1911. на Одељењу за тропску медицину у Ливерпулу.

Након оставке др Ролса, хирург у општој болници у Ештону  1909. године, на његово место је постављена др Кетрин Андерсон, на основу дотадашњих резултата рада. На тој дужности задржала се до 3. маја 1911. године, када је донела одлуку да свој рад настави у дечијој болници у Колумбу на Цејлону, данас Шри Ланка.

Доласком у болницу у Коломбу др Кетрин је стекла потребно искуство и знање, тако да је због свог искуства и знања примљена за предавач за предмет дечје болести на Медицинском факултету Цејлона.

У току Првог светског рата била је чланица Болнице шкотских жена у њеним јединицама на Солунском фронту и на Корзици.

Др Кетрин Андерсон је 1921. године постала члан Краљевског удружења хирурга (A Fellow of Royal College of Surgeon – FRCS).

Према извештају Универзитета у Абердину  стоји да је  др Кетрин Андерсон изненада преминула с краја јануара 1934. на мору, путујући бродом за Цејлон. У записима унуке њене рођаке Лизи, стоји да се др Кетрин највероватније умрла од последица тешког облика рака.

Признања
У знак призања за њен допринос медицини, њено име се данса налази на меморијалној плочи Универзитета у Абердину.

Another three-peat opens this week's showdown. The stylish triad features a model, a street style star and an actress outfitted in one colorfully accented lace dress. Details were also key in the other two battles, including a contrasting lapel lining on a crisp blazer and gemstone embellishments decorating a blue paneled dress. Examine the following double-takes before weighing in on your favorites.
Mary Katrantzou's signature style often revolves around graphic patterns. Her Fall 2014 Dixiecult dress certainly fits that description thanks to its embroidered traffic symbols. Alek struck a pose in the arresting dress last week at the Sindika Dokolo Art Foundation dinner in London. Buckled black sandals capped off the look. Anna showed off her unique accessorizing abilities outside the Emporio Armani show during Milan Fashion Week Spring 2015 by teaming her version with a patterned clutch and bag plus a bright pair of heart high-tops. When Diane hit the red carpet to celebrate the second season premiere of The Bridge over the summer, she added in a yellow Charlotte Olympia Pandora clutch and Stuart Weitzman navy Nudist sandals. All three made the dress their own, so who wore Mary Katrantzou best?


Our mission at Arc Fine Arts Consulting is uniquely focused on connecting San Francisco - Bay Area collectors and businesses with local art and artists. There is no better way to demonstrate community visually than to remove faded reproductions from our walls, burn them, and replace them with original art locally sourced.

News Roundup for December 4, 2018
Netanyahu's Obsession With Image Could Be His Downfall, The New York Times
David Halbfinger observes, "[T]hroughout his political life, his detractors have discerned in Mr. Netanyahu an unseemly obsession with his public image, even for a politician. And his present troubles arose out of what amounted to his most audacious attempt to gain control over that image: a long-term offensive on the news media itself….Israelis love a good victim, and his base, in particular, nursed ethnic and class resentments that Mr. Netanyahu has stirred adroitly and consistently over the years. Long before working-class whites fell in behind President Trump, anti-elitist voters outside Israel's big cities were cheering Mr. Netanyahu's hard line against the Oslo peace process and his visceral campaign slogans like 'Bibi is good for the Jews.'….The question now is whether it will work again if Mr. Netanyahu is charged with bribery and the accusers are his own former right-hand men, the prosecution is led by an attorney general he appointed, and the evidence against him is the work of a right-wing former police chief whom Mr. Netanyahu also named to the job."
Netanyahu's Meeting With Pompeo Is a Warning to Iran and Lebanon – Before Israel Takes Military Action, Haaretz
Amos Harel writes, "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's unusual trip to Brussels – the announcement in the morning and the flight in the afternoon to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo – is an Israeli attempt to quickly utilize this diplomatic channel to deal with the increasing security problem in Lebanon….he prime minister has started the diplomatic clock. His trip signals to Iran, Lebanon and Hezbollah, through the Americans (and perhaps also the French), that there's an urgent need to deal with the problem before Israel considers using military means."
Israel's Top Court Will Decide Whether Netanyahu Should Resign if Indicted, Attorney General Says, Haaretz
The High Court of Justice will have to decide if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has to resign if he is indicted in the corruption cases against him, Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit said on Monday. "In the case of a cabinet minister, there is a clear ruling of the Supreme Court to the effect that after a decision is made to file of an indictment against him, the minister must resign from his post. As for the prime minister, this is a not simple question, it certainly will reach the High Court, and then it will have to decide on this matter, too," Mendelblit told the committee.
Israel launches operation to destroy Hezbollah tunnels on northern border, JTA
Israel's military launched Operation Northern Shield, to destroy tunnels constructed by Hezbollah that reach from Lebanon into Israel. The Israel Defense Forces announced the discovery of the tunnels and began destroying them on Monday night. The IDF said that the tunnels were not complete and did not pose an immediate threat, but that they did stretch into Israeli territory.
Pope, Abbas discuss Jerusalem at first meeting after U.S. embassy move, Reuters
The Vatican expressed concern over the status of Jerusalem on Monday as Pope Francis and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas held their first meeting since the United States stirred international anxiety by moving its embassy there.
Israelis see left-right struggle, not differences with Arabs, as most significant conflict, JTA
For the first time, Israelis said the main point of conflict in their society is between left and right and not between Jews and Arabs. That's what an annual assessment by the Israel Democracy Institute found in its annual survey. Meanwhile, nearly half of Israelis again said they believe their democracy is in "grave danger." In the survey of 1,041 Jewish and Arab respondents, some 36 percent held the view that tension between the left and right is the main point of contention in society, with 28 percent saying it is the conflict between Jews and Arabs. Twenty-four percent said the main conflict is between religious and secular Jews.
Over 300 Israeli Institutions Back Strike Over Violence Against Women, Haaretz
Over 200 institutions including the Knesset, the Social Security Administration, Civil Service Commission, the Social Workers' Union, the Histadrut labor federation, the Women's International Zionist Organization (WIZO) and the Na'amat women's organization have announced they will join Tuesday's strike in protest of violence against women. The Interior Ministry and Tel Aviv Municipality have instructed their employees to wear black in solidarity with the strike.

Expect drama as attorney general weighs Netanyahu indictment, Al-Monitor
Ben Caspit writes, "Anyone who knows Netanyahu knows that he is not capable of giving up or admitting defeat. His nature is to fight to the last bullet, to burn down the house and incite his own people against each other. On the other hand, there is a chance that Netanyahu will at some point understand his situation and realize that he might end his career like former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert: in a prison cell. Perhaps it's not too late for him to make a deal with the attorney general that will put an end to his political life but extricate him and his wife from imprisonment."

The Trump Team's Fawning Over Saudi Arabia Is Getting Ridiculous, Politico
Aaron David Miller and Richard Sokolsky write, "MBS has played the Iranian card to justify his concentration and abuse of power and rally Saudi nationalism. Paradoxically, the Saudis have pursued a number of regional policies—from the Yemen fiasco to the failed campaign to isolate Qatar—that have helped expand Iran's influence in the region rather than contract it. Far from providing the bulwark against Iran as Pompeo and Trump maintain, MBS has been the great enabler of Tehran's regional reach….The Trump administration has yet to fully face up to the reality that Saudi and Arab state support for its peace plan will turn on whether its positions on substance, including Jerusalem, borders and refugees, pass muster in the Arab world.
Unless there are real surprises in the works, A Saudi embrace of the Kushner peace plan is not in the cards."
Attack Tunnels From Lebanon: Israel Robs Hezbollah of Major Offensive Asset, Haaretz
Amos Harel observe, "The events on Tuesday morning now allow to state out loud what could only be hinted at recently due to the heavy restrictions imposed by the military censor: The Israeli army has embarked on the public phase of a wide-scale operation to find and destroy attack tunnels that Hezbollah has dug under the Lebanese border with Israel. This is the immediate backdrop to the growing nervousness on the northern front in recent weeks, to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's lightning visit to Brussels on Monday, where he met with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the situation in the north, and also apparently to the hints that Netanyahu made about two weeks ago about an emergency security situation that he said required the Habayit Hayehudit party to remain in his faltering government coalition."

Sports bras are very versatile garments. You can wear it by itself, or wear it under another fuller shirt or top or pair of overalls. The sports bra is especially good for plus size girls that are "filling out" before they're actually ready for a training bra. They need some type of bra support, which makes the sports bra the practical answer.
By using a girl's own personal measurements for the sports bra, you can be assured of a perfect fit. In addition, the garment can be made of a white "stretchy" fabric to be used as a bra, but can also be made in many different colors to be worn under the overalls or oversized tank tops that are so popular today.
This class covers the basics of how to take the measurements, then with step by step instructions, how to use those measurements to make the sports bra.

The father of Carluke football sensation Rosie Slater reckons playing against boys at league level helped her team to under-15 girls Scottish Cup final glory.
Centre back Rosie was part of the Glasgow Rangers Girls Academy 2004s squad who beat their Hibs counterparts 2-1 to land the crown at Edinburgh's Oriam sports facility on Saturday.
And proud dad Dougie told the Carluke and Lanark Gazette: "Rosie was solid at the back and it meant a lot to her to win the final.
"It is the biggest thing she has won in her short footballing life so far.
Rangers – managed by Jordan Boyd – sealed a deserved win thanks to goals by Summer Christie and Kirsty McLean.
This completed a tough route to cup glory, having beaten the likes of Aberdeen, Hamilton and Edinburgh City in earlier rounds.
Rosie, who also stars for Scotland women's under-16s, once made history by becoming the first girl ever to win a Player of the Year prize at Carluke-based Kirkton Primary School.
She was cheered on at the final by a busload of her former Milton Rovers 2004s team-mates.


In September of 1979, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) passed a bill which stated that all car, pickup truck and motorcycle speedometers were to display a maximum speed of 85 miles-per-hour. This federal regulation also required speedometers to have a special emphasis on the number 55 (the national speed limit at the time).
Limiting speedometers to 85 mph, even though most cars could go much faster, was in response to America's energy crisis. It was an attempt to slow cars down, and in doing so, save gas.
The speedometer limits certainly didn't govern the speed of the car, and the 85 mph max looked pretty silly on cars like the Delorean DMC-12Delorean, Pantera, and Porsche 928. Some car manufacturers got around the rule by ending the numbers at 85 but leaving lines beyond that to show higher speeds.
In reality, the 85 MPH speedo mandate did little to change the driving habits of most Americans. While government officials hoped gasoline consumption would fall by 2.2%, actual savings averaged less than 1%.
Back in 1974, part of the government's Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act prohibited speed limits higher than 55 mph across America. This National Maximum Speed Law (NMSL) was in response to oil price spikes and supply disruptions during the 1973 oil crisis. With fewer people driving, government officials started noticing highway deaths dropping and mistakenly associated it with speed. However, there was no proof that the lower speed limit was actually a factor.
The mandatory 55 mph law was set about to be a fuel-saving measure but was widely disregarded by motorists, with many states opposing the law. Congress repealed the National Maximum Speed Law in 1995, returning speed limit settings to individual state governments.
The 85 mph speedometer mandate ended in 1981 after much debate and little proof it actually did anything to change driver behavior. President Ronald Reagan, who campaigned on a pledge to end excessive government regulation, helped repeal the law. There has never been any data showing that the 85 mph speedometer saved lives.
Porsche was one of the first manufacturers to switch back, offering recalibration and retrofit dials for their cars produced during 1979-1982.
Many cars kept 85 mph speedometers for several years until they were redesigned. A mid-80s Buick Riviera with full digital dash would flash "85-85-85" when exceeding that speed, despite having the extra "1" for the hundreds digit (necessary for kilometers). By the late eighties, most cars were back to 120 mph speedometers. Today, speedometers routinely go to 160 mph, even though the maximum speed limit is less than half that.
In today's modern cars, a Nissan Sentra has a 160 mph speedometer, although top speed is only 118 miles-per-hour. The Toyota Yaris has a top speed of 109 mph, yet has a 140 mph speedometer.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mattel Canada for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Having 4 boys in my house means that certain characters have been around since my first one started playing with toys. Thomas & Friends have been a longstanding favourite in this house from my very first son, who is now 11 to my 4-year-old (although I am sure that my 1-year-old will love him just as much once he starts really playing with toys). Last year all my son asked for was Thomas the Train and we ended getting him several of the trains for Christmas.
Not only does he love Thomas but I love that Thomas helps to inspire his imagination, teach him important life lessons and helps him to understand his emotions. I know that Thomas was one of the first shows that helped my oldest son learn how to express his anger and sadness when he was only about 4. I can't tell you how often my younger boys come running when they hear the familiar tune.
This year he is still absolutely in love with Thomas and has asked for some more playsets for Christmas and I can't think of a better set to get him than the Thomas & Friends™ TrackMaster™ Scrapyard Escape Set available now. It is super easy to put together, is fully expandable with connectable track packs and train sets for hours of creative play.
The engines are battery-operated and my son loves to watch them go around the track with all of the fun action-packed pieces that make this Scrapyard Escape fun.
I love that the TrackMaster sets and expansion packs (which are sold separately) can all be connected to make up some really great patterns and pretty much any design these boys can think up. This particular set includes a motorized Thomas and cargo car, two cargo pieces and a full track layout with cable bridge crossing, steelworks shack, and cargo holder.
I know that my son will spend hours watching Thomas scoot around on this track while picking up the pieces and I am also sure that Thomas won't be the only train going around when he also has Percy, Gordon, and James who I know will be joining in all the fun. I should note that the motorized train in this set requires 2 AAA batteries and you can find the sets at Walmart, Toys "R" Us, and Amazon. Need the perfect gift for your toddler or preschooler? Look no further than the Thomas & Friends™ TrackMaster™ Scrapyard Escape Set.

Ping-флуд (від ) — тип атаки на мережеве обладнання, що має на меті відмову в обслуговуванні. Ключовою особливістю (у порівнянні з іншими видами флуд-атак) є можливість здійснення атаки «побутовими засобами» (програмами й утилітами, що входять до складу домашніх/офісних версій операційних систем).

Суть атаки
ICMP-повідомлення (ехо-запит) обробляється мережевим обладнанням третього (і вище) рівня. У більшості випадків це обладнання використовує програмні засоби маршрутизації та обробки пакунків. При цьому ехо-запит вимагає від пристрою прийняття пакунка, його обробки і формування/відправки пакунка з відповіддю на запит. Обсяг виконуваних дій при цьому в багато разів перевищує обсяг роботи з маршрутизації звичайного пакунка. Розмір ICMP-запиту зазвичай невеликий (близько 64 байт, при максимальному розмірі пакунка IP 64 кбайт). В результаті, при формальному збереженні невеликого трафіку, виникає перевантаження по кількості пакунків, і пристрій починає втрачати інші пакунки (з інших інтерфейсів чи протоколів), що і є метою атаки.

Обмеження ICMP флуду
Деякі провайдери в договорі обумовлюють окремим пунктом обмеження на швидкість ICMP-пакунків, залишаючи за собою право припинення надання послуги у разі ICMP флуду, що порушує роботу мережевого обладнання.

Розподілена атака
При розподіленій атаці (з декількох тисяч вузлів), ICMP-запити надходять із звичайною швидкістю тестування (близько 1 пакунка на секунду з вузла), але одночасно з декількох тисяч комп'ютерів. У цьому випадку підсумкове навантаження на пристрій, що є метою атаки, може досягати пропускної здатності каналу (і свідомо перевершувати швидкість обробки пакунків пристроєм).

У квітні 2007 року сайти уряду Естонії зазнав розподіленої ICMP-атаки (у зв'язку з подіями навколо  бронзового солдата). Як «знаряддя» атаки використовувалася діагностична утиліта ping, що відправляє пакунок об'ємом 20000 байт на сайт www.riik.ee. За повідомленнями ЗМІ атака була успішною.

В 2010 у потужність однієї розподіленої DDoS-атаки вперше перевищила 100  Гбіт/сек.

Протидія атаці
Для протидії атаці (крім блокування трафіку з окремих вузлів і мереж) можливі такі заходи:
 Відключення відповідей на ICMP-запити (відключення відповідних служб або запобігання відгуку на певний тип повідомлення) на цільовій системі;
 Зниження пріоритету обробки ICMP-повідомлень (при цьому весь інший трафік обробляється в звичайному порядку, а ICMP-запити обробляються за залишковим принципом, у разі перевантаження ICMP-повідомленнями частина з них ігнорується).
 Відкидання або фільтрація ICMP-трафіку засобами брандмауера.
 Збільшення черги оброблюваних підключень.

The $1,200 Purse: Luxury Retail Arrives in Downtown Detroit
Izzi Bendall
Angelique Collections — a line of custom made handbags, accessories, and home décor — opened today in the Penobscot Building, at 645 Griswold in downtown Detroit, and owner Angela Boone already has plans for a second location in New York.
"We're actually looking at sites in Harlem right now," says Boone, who previously owned boutique stores in Southfield and Oak Park. Depending on the site selected, the New York store could open by the end of the year.
Boone says she sees a strong market for her handbags, which she designs using custom-made fabrics. "They're definitely for the woman who doesn't want to see the same bag on another woman's arm. They're one of a kind," she says.
Customers can have a say in the design process, which can take up to two weeks depending on such criteria as fabrics, style, size, and hardware. Pricing for the collection, which includes totes, purses, crossover bags, wristlets, and wallets, ranges from $38 to $1,200, although Boone says most customers spend an average of $100 to $500.
The most expensive purses feature Swarovski crystals, along with imported or custom-made silk fabrics. "I'm working on a bag now (that) is created out of black lace fabric that was imported from Switzerland," Boone says. "It's a beautiful black-and-white handmade lace with crystal. I hand sew each of these bags, (so) it takes time."
She adds that recent bags were inspired by influential African-Americans including Sojourner Truth.
The Detroit store is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. For more information, visit angeliquecollections.com or call 313-721-4611.

ShopArt ArtShop (SA AS) is an inclusive, process-oriented conceptual arts event which takes place every 3 years in a small village, Gunehar, in the Indian Himalaya. It was started in 2013 with the aim of giving Indian artists the opportunity to relate to and work on arts in an wholesome manner outside the confines of usual, urban-centric art spaces. The objective is to demonstrate openly the whole process of creating art from the inception of a concept to the creating of the actual art work.
SA AS artists are chosen carefully through a method we call the 'SA AS method' which initially asks of them to present a concept for their project which then, during an actual 3-week residency in the village, needs to be put to work in front of visitors and villagers, taking into account not only the local infrastructure and logistics but also local sensibilities. The final works are then exhibited during a village-wide art festival.
SA AS is intricately connected to the village, Gunehar, and its people and way of life. The concept of SA AS is very inclusive of the villagers, which makes them willing partners and stakeholders in the project. As an event it attempts the delicate balancing act of keeping the village intact yet opening the village up meaningfully to the 21st century.
SA AS is a project initiated and organised by the 4tables Project which is also based in Gunehar and run by Frank Schlichtmann. Frank started the 4tables project 8 years ago with the aim of creating a space for alternative and meaningful living. The 4tables project has grown from a small gallery and café to now include village beautification activities, restoration of traditional buildings, interactive village activities and, of course, SA AS. The village itself now hosts an Art gallery, an ecological boutique hotel, a fusion restaurant and other infrastructure that has been carefully planned and implemented in a manner not to destroy the fabric of the village yet develop the village into an alternative destination based upon the idea of quality, responsibility and non-destructive development.
Gunehar is a small village just off the popular paragliding destination of Bir-Billing in Kangra District, HP. The village lies at the end of the motor-able road and, surrounded by pristine paddy fields, mountains and streams, is the ideal venue for an Arts event. It is culturally and historically vibrant and artists can draw a lot of inspiration from the location. The people are mainly Gaddis or Bara Bhangalis from the interiors of the mountains with many very distinct cultural traits that have been partially submerged through 'mainstream' India. Finally, there are a lot of interesting empty shops and large open spaces for artists to work and for the final exhibition to take place. Gunehar is 'just off' the main tourist towns around here and as such it is possible for artists to work without much disturbance, yet it is easily accessible to those who are interested in arts and interested in visiting the event.

Change Management for Non-IT Projects?
I am looking for articles or information on change management for non-IT projects. I work in environmental reporting and would like to research more about CM in this sector or any infrastructure-related topics.
Have you looked into ACMP and whether they have domain or industry-specific special interest groups?
Cynthia, do you have an industry in particular so I can show you few case study where you can see practical of change management with real example and effectiveness.
I think people may be describing 2 different things here when referring to change management. Kiron and Riyadh seem to be referring to dealing with change in general within an organization. Frank seems to be referring to formal processes for managing configuration control, cost and schedule baselines, associated TPMs etc. In my industry which is heavily dependent on configuration control, change management is generally used to describe the later.
Have you considered "Agile" to manage changes? Is that an option?
In my personal opinion, in this case, the PMI has posted information that could help.
