I could listen to Jaime talk about her day job…well…all day. What is it about museums that seem so romantic? In addition to that career, she is also an artist and a mom. How does she balance it all? I'll let her tell you.
Welcome, Jaime! We're so happy you're here.
Hey everyone! I'm Jaime. I'm an artist, museum professional, and working mama from Kansas City. I'm doing my best to juggle a growing creative career with my day job that pays the bills…and student loans. From my cubicle to yours, here's what a day in my life looks like.
It begins when the baby monitor blinks on, usually around 7:15 am. My husband pops out of bed to get our daughter, Frances (16 months), and brings her into our room. We snuggle for a while, and and then I try to distract her with a book or something interesting in our room so I can get ready for the day. That transition from cuddling my baby to starting the day is always a struggle.
Tyler and I tag team, keeping an eye on Frances. She's into everything these days. The morning always goes by quickly. Dress, teeth, diaper change, make bed. Check, check, check. Next we head downstairs to get the coffee going, feed the dog, and get our things together to head out the door.
Breakfast is quick and on the go. Today I make some peanut butter toast, and grab a banana and a greek yogurt to eat at work. At this point in our lives, we make food — not meals. We throw things together with simple ingredients. Cooking is not our favorite activity, but we love good food. We'd probably eat out for every meal if we could.
My mom arrives around 8:15 am to be with Frances for the day. We split the weekdays between my mom, Tyler, and I. We chat for a few minutes and then Tyler and I head out the door.
In 2009 we moved to Kansas City from Chicago, where we didn't have a car but biked and rode public transit. We decided to try to make it as a one-car family in Kansas City, and we've been able to maintain this for the past seven years. All to say, my husband and I carpool to work! We go over the day's schedule, listen to NPR and I do my make-up on the way.
Luckily, it's a short drive, because our home is only about five minutes away from my work. Two years ago we moved into a now 116-year old "Kansas City Shirtwaist" style house in the North Hyde Park neighborhood of Kansas City. Our intention was to shrink our circle of life in order to increase our ability to walk and bike to day to day activities. We now live within just a few miles of our jobs, church, most of our friends, and many of the things we like to do. We often go days without going more than a few miles from our house. Sometimes we don't even get in the car, which we really like about our location.
Tyler drops me off at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, where I work in the Modern & Contemporary Art Departments and thus begins my day job.
I settle into the day by checking emails and drinking coffee. Generally I have a few meetings at some point, so I review my day and figure out what to-dos will need to be seen to between meetings. My time is split between upcoming exhibitions, incoming new acquisitions, and general department day to day tasks.
My role is very admin-heavy. Lots of emails, paperwork, reports, and project management. One thing many people don't realize about museums is how far ahead exhibitions are planned: usually two to three years out. One year out is short-term for us.
For every exhibition, there are so many moving parts and so many people involved. It's pretty incredible. And also miraculous that we get things done! Ha. My first meeting today is a team meeting to continue planning an exhibition we have opening in the fall: Forty-Part Motet by Janet Cardiff.
Today I'm having lunch in the museum's restaurant with my sweet friend Rachel, who works in the African Art department. She and I were actually friends before she began working here, so it's a treat to get to see her so often. We bonded over our shared passions for social justice and art. She's usually the person who I'm talking to about current events and politics and making each other feel better about the state of the world.
I work in a beautiful, encyclopedic museum, but being an artist at heart, the droll of office life can be draining. So it helps that I get to work with some of the best women I know, and they make my job so great. Interestingly, the majority of my museum colleagues are women.
After lunch I head to our storage area where a new piece of art for the Contemporary collection was delivered and is set to be uncrated and inspected by the Conservators and Registrars.
I grab a break in the afternoon and check my personal email to make sure there are not any urgent needs for my art business. I catch up on Instagram and blogs, and check in with my mom to see how the day is going at home.
Tyler and I keep in touch throughout the day, so by the time it's time for him to pick me up, we have a plan about what we're doing for dinner and what we are doing the rest of the night. He'll swing by the store to grab a few items. Meal planning and grocery shopping are areas we just haven't mastered yet! Some weeks we do great at planning ahead and shopping, other weeks are just busier and and we don't have it together and meals are game-time decisions!
Dinner prep begins as soon as we get home, around 5:30 pm. I spend time with Frances while Tyler gets dinner going. We always sit down to eat as a family. We're working on starting a business, so at dinner Tyler catches me up on what he worked on during the day, and gets feedback from me on that front.
After dinner we play in the backyard and take a little walk around our neighborhood. Then I bathe Frances and start getting her ready for bed while Tyler cleans up the kitchen. I read her books, then it's Dad's turn. I rock her for a little while and put her down around 8 or 8:30.
After Frances goes down for the night, I have a crucial decision-making moment. All I want to do at this point is go lay down and watch Netflix or read a book in bed. And sometimes I do. But tonight, I don't.
I change my clothes and go into my in-home studio. I package up prints to ship out, and do the admin side of things, like answering emails and inquiries. Then I queue up a podcast, and get to painting.
Most recently I've been into Alec Baldwin's podcast Here's the Thing. I love comedy, and I'm loving his interviews with comedians and Saturday Night Live alums. I'm also enjoying The RobCast with Rob Bell and On Being with Krista Tippett. Other nights I'll listen to music, or just have the Office or 30Rock playing in the background. Shows I've watched so many times, I can just listen to them.
I love being a painter, but it's still a job. It takes creative energy, and after working all day, I don't always feel like I have that energy. I have to reach down deep to find it some nights. I recently took a day off of work to paint during the day, in my sun-filled studio, and it was glorious. That's the dream.
But at this moment, I have the night. I get in a zone and the few precious hours I have go by extremely quickly. It's past midnight, and I have to get some sleep. I photograph the work I've done, then quickly wash my face, brush my teeth, and climb into bed.
The last thing I usually think about before falling asleep for the night is my to-do list. Paintings I need to finish. Our budget. Projects we need to work on around the house. It's hard to get my mind to quiet down.
All the decisions and to-dos can weigh heavy on me. My days are full and that magical word balance just doesn't exist in my vocabulary anymore. I finally fall asleep after doing some deep breathing exercises.
I have a job (two jobs!), a supportive community, a roof over my head, a full belly, a healthy kid, and a good guy to share my life. It's all gonna be fine. It was a good day.
Oh, Jaime. What is it about that dark time before we fall asleep? It hits us all, doesn't it? I love the reminder of deep breathing exercises and a quick rundown of all that's good right now. Doing it tonight.
Also, I got chills when you described your day home from work when you worked on your other career: "I recently took a day off of work to paint during the day, in my sun-filled studio, and it was glorious. That's the dream." May your dream someday come true! Although, your museum job sounds pretty dreamy, too.
P.S. – You can see all my Call It A Day posts right here. Are you interested in sharing your unique day with us? Let me know! It's a lot of fun…I promise!
Previous Post « Do You Believe in True Love?
Loved reading this post! I work in a museum on the east coast in a totally different department (museum education), and am an artist as well. I can identify with not feeling that creative energy when I get home -I'm trying to make it a point to set aside at LEAST one day a week to be art making time, that way I can mentally recharge another day.
I loved this post because I'm an emerging museum professional myself! I'm finishing up my PhD with the goal to become a curator. It's a really fascinating world, with a great blend of academia + creativity.
I'll say it because Jaime is probably too nice to, but you misspelled her first name in your title and intro. It's a pet peeve of mine so sorry for pointing it out, but it is bothersome. She is an amazing artist and she deserves to have her name spelled correctly!
Oh my goodness! Thank you for the heads up. So embarrassing!
Thank you so much for sharing! When I lived in Chicago I loved being able to walk everywhere and not have to travel far for anything, it's so nice Jaime was able to replicate that in Kansas City, I wish I could say I was able to do the same when I left Chicago. Jaime's artwork is absolutely beautiful, I can't wait to purchase a piece.
Belated welcome to Kansas City, Jaime! The Nelson is much beloved by my family. Thank you and everyone who works there for all the talented and amazing work you do.
Janet Cardiff's Forty Part Motet was in Canada's National Gallery for quite some time. It was one of our favorites to visit. Really lovely.
Also, I would LOVE to work in a museum so I have major job envy! Cute family, cute house.
Kansas City, the glorious Nelson, and motherhood — three of my very, very favorite things!
Jaime, your life looks lovely and colorful and I love your paintings! Speaking from experience it is both amazing and difficult to be balance art and kiddos, so kudos to you!
Thanks everyone for your sweet comments! It was so fun to share! xo.

Trump Pays His Respects to Army Officers Killed in Afghanistan
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump look on as a U.S. Army carry team moves a transfer case containing the remains of Chief Warrant Officer 2 David C. Knadle, of Tarrant, Texas, Nov. 21, 2019, in Dover Air Force Base, Del.
President Donald Trump paid respects Thursday to a pair of Army officers who were killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan earlier this week.
The president and first lady Melania Trump, along with several senior aides, traveled to Delaware to meet with the families of Chief Warrant Officer 2 David C. Knadle, 33, and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kirk T. Fuchigami Jr., 25, as they received the fallen soldiers' remains.
Trump and the first lady were among a group of dignitaries, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley and National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien, who attended the roughly 12-minute ceremony and watched as six white-gloved members of the Army's Old Guard carefully handled the flag-draped transfer cases holding the soldiers.
Trump and Milley saluted the soldiers, while the first lady and O'Brien stood with their hands over their hearts for the dignified transfer of remains.
A U.S. Army carry team moves a transfer case containing the remains of Chief Warrant Officer 2 David C. Knadle, of Tarrant, Texas, who according to the Department of Defense died in Afghanistan, during a casualty return ceremony, Nov. 21, 2019.
Heavy responsibility
Trump has said the responsibility of receiving the remains of fallen U.S. soldiers is "the toughest thing I have to do" as president.
As the final day of public hearings in the House impeachment inquiry wound down, Trump left the White House for the short flight to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where the remains of service members killed abroad are returned to U.S. soil.
Knadle, of Tarrant, Texas, and Fuchigami Jr., of Keaau, Hawaii, died Wednesday when their helicopter crashed as they provided security for troops on the ground in Logar Province in eastern Afghanistan.
Both were assigned to Fort Hood, Texas.
Wednesday's crash brought this year's U.S. death toll in Afghanistan to 19, excluding three noncombat deaths.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for shooting down the helicopter, but the U.S. military has dismissed that as a false claim. The crash remains under investigation.
Trump broke off peace talks with the Taliban in September following a bombing in Kabul that killed 12 people, including an American soldier.
The White House said Trump and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani spoke on the phone Thursday, and both "agreed a reduction in violence is necessary to move the peace process forward" and for all-Afghan negotiations regarding a political settlement to be successful.
White House spokesman Judd Deere said Trump also thanked Ghani for his support in seeking the release of two Western hostages the Taliban freed this week after holding them in captivity for more than three years.
More than 2,400 Americans have died in the nearly 18-year war.
Aides accompany Trump
Last month, as Trump sought to justify his unpopular decision to remove a small contingent of U.S. service members from northeastern Syria, he began to describe his experiences at Dover and argue for removing the U.S. from "endless wars" in the Middle East, which he campaigned on in the 2016 presidential race.
The president has described the sight of cavernous aircraft pulling up on the base, doors opening, uniformed service members carrying flag-draped "transfer cases" and once-stoic parents breaking down.
"Sometimes they'll run to the coffin. They'll break through military barriers," Trump said at an unrelated White House event Oct. 9. "They'll run to the coffin and jump on top of the coffin. Crying mothers and wives. Crying desperately.
"And this is on these endless wars that just never stop," he said. "And there's a time and there's a place, but it's time to stop."
Trump was also joined Thursday by Deputy Defense Secretary David Norquist, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Army Sgt. Major Michael Grinston.
Actor Jon Voight follows President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump after riding on Air Force One to Dover Air Force Base for a casualty return ceremony for two U.S. service members who died in Afghanistan, Nov. 21, 2019.
Actor Jon Voight, who was awarded the prestigious National Medal of Arts at a White House ceremony earlier Thursday, also attended the "solemn movement" ceremony at the invitation of Trump.
Voight said he didn't meet the families but watched the "moving" ceremony.
The 1979 Oscar winner said he thought "it must be some comfort that their children are cherished by the country.
"There was no intention of meeting the families or any of that," Voight said. "I just wanted to pay my respects, say a little prayer."
Thursday's trip was Trump's second to the Delaware military base this year, and his third visit there overall as president.
Trump went to the Delaware base in January 2019 for the return of four Americans who were killed in a suicide bomb attack in Syria.
He attended his first transfer service in February 2017, for the return of a Navy SEAL who was killed during a raid on an al-Qaida compound in Yemen.

[VIDEO] Protester Cuffed, Whisked Away in Unmarked Van By Heavily Armed Cops Who Tell Crowd "If You Follow Us You'll Be Shot"
by Missy CraneJune 9, 2020
A protester was cuffed by heavily-armed police officers and whisked away in an unmarked car in San Diego, California.
The girl who was taken into custody was part of a large Black Lives Matter protest earlier in the day.

According to the police, the girl tried to hit a police officer on a motorcycle with her sign and that was why she was arrested.
From 10 News
Thursday at around 9:30 pm, a young woman is handcuffed on Park Avenue. Moments later, she is snatched off the street and taken away in the unmarked police vehicle.
"She said somebody took Shayla; like somebody came and took her," the woman's mother, Breann Piccini, told ABC 10News exclusively.
The woman detained in the video is a 20-year-old biracial San Diego State University student, Shayla Piccini.
Piccini's mother said Shayla and her cousins spent the day at a massive protest in Downtown San Diego. After several hours, the group was walking back to their car when Shayla saw several police motorcycles driving past them. At that moment, Shayla held up her cardboard sign, according to her mother.
You can watch the video below:

I gotta admit, I loved this video and watched it about 7 times.
These entitled brats are on a power-trip, and while I don't agree with police acting like Gestapos, these "peaceful protesters" are equally ass "Gestapo-ish" as they people they claim are oppressing them.

Fatal hit-and-run accident leads to mob beating
A fatal hit-and-run in Hawthorne left one man dead, a good Samaritan injured by another car when she attempted to help, and the motorist who stopped to check on her after allegedly striking her beaten and robbed by a mob of bystanders.
The bizarre chain of events unfolded about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday on a busy stretch of Crenshaw Boulevard near the 105 Freeway when a southbound driver struck a pedestrian walking across the street outside the crosswalk.
Hawthorne Police Lt. Gary Tomatoni said the driver of a white or gray minivan fled the scene and as the injured pedestrian lay in the street, a second vehicle ran over the man. That driver also failed to stop and provide aid.
Several pedestrians who saw the two cars hit the man ran to him to try to help. One of the good Samaritans was running across Crenshaw Boulevard toward the victim when she was hit by another motorist traveling southbound.
That motorist stopped to check on the woman, but as he did so, he was attacked by a mob of bystanders.
"These criminal bystanders assaulted the victim and ultimately stole his cellphone," Tomatoni said. "This victimized driver was able to eventually free himself from the attack and fled the location in his vehicle."
The man returned a few minutes later, reporting the traffic accident, as well as his assault and robbery, to responding police officers. As police investigators were interviewing the motorist, he saw one of his assailants getting into a nearby car.
Hawthorne police subsequently arrested Tran Lewis, 32, of Long Beach, on suspicion of robbery.
The pedestrian who had been struck by two cars died after being taken to a hospital.
Police found the second driver who hit him based on witness information. That driver was questioned and the vehicle impounded.

In the bible, particularly in the book Acts, we see the early church relating to each other via relationship and being served within apostolic networks led by people like Paul, Timothy, Titus, Aquilla and Pricilla, Apollos etc… with particular apostolic gifting.
As a church we believe God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and Gods ways are good and always the best!! Meaning there's always great wisdom in taking heed of how the early church was set out in scripture. So therefore, we organise ourselves in a like fashion.
If you want to talk to me or ask questions about this, please feel free.
At Community Church Blackburn we are so blessed, as a church, to be part of the ChristCentral group of churches which is part of the Newfrontiers family of churches.
Church Planting and going to the nations.
There is so much going on and so many benefits and good things that I cannot succinctly express in the short space I have here.
Again, if you want to talk to me about it or get more involved come and see me.
Please pray for Jeremy and Anne Simpkins as they lead ChristCentral groups of Churches. They are coming and you will meet them on July 14th.
Please pray for the preparations for Devoted and the team as these are huge and need prayer.
Pray for the other ChristCentral churches in the area: Bolton, Macclesfield, Westhoughton, Liverpool, Salford, Stockport, Barnoldswick, Preston, Blackpool, Chorley, Lancaster, Whitehaven etc.. as they are on the same mission as us and doing amazing stuff!!
Altogether please pray for all those involved in ChristCentral, thank God for them and pray for a deeper, more fruitful relationship with them for the Glory of God and the Building of the Kingdom.


Just love this outfit, so festive! The large checks are so fun! May your Thanksgiving be as grand and beautiful as you are!!
I love this outfit so much that I can't even decide which piece I love most if I had to pick one. Gorgeous! I love to let my shirt tails hang out of sweaters too. I would even wear a sweater with a button down peeking out at the tail and sleeves with a blazer or jacket for court, Then one day, one of the baliffs (a gentleman of advanced age and limited fashion sense) politely pulled me aside to let me know that my shirt had come un-tucked. I died laughing, and a young female court clerk jumped in to chastise him and let him know that that is "the style now". I laughed all the way to my car.

Rectal thermometry is taking a person's temperature by inserting a thermometer into the rectum via the anus. This is generally regarded as the most accurate means of temperature-taking, but some may consider it to be an invasive or humiliating procedure. Thus, it is often used sparingly and primarily on infants, children, or adults for whom taking an oral temperature would risk injury (e.g., an unconscious patient, a post-oral surgery patient, or a person suffering a seizure) or be inaccurate (due to recently ingested liquids or breathing through the mouth).

History
The precise history of rectal thermometry is largely unknown, but medical thermometers have long been made in a tube shape that fits into the anus. Medical literature shows the practice dating back to at least the 18th century, and it is probable that rectal thermometry was thought to be a safer alternative to oral temperature-taking, due to the use of mercury and other toxic chemicals in early thermometers.

In 1966 Time Magazine noted Near dawn every morning, a nurse walks into the hospital room, wakes the patient and subjects him to what for many remains a humiliating procedure, although it has become routine: insertion of a rectal thermometer.

As thermometry-related technology improves in the 21st century, rectal thermometry is becoming decreasingly pervasive, but it is still the preferred method for taking the temperature of infants and pets.

Use and procedure

Rectal thermometry is widely used in veterinary medicine and pediatrics, as well as by adults at home who want the most accurate possible temperature reading and overlook the invasive nature associated with the painless procedure. It is accomplished by inserting the tip of a thermometer, usually lubricated with personal lubricant to eliminate friction and aid in insertion past the tightly retentive anal sphincter, to a depth of, for an adult , or for a child between . The thermometer tip must then be left in place until a reading can be derived, usually about 3 minutes for mercury thermometers and 1 minute for newer electronic types. It is important to remember that the normal human core temperature range measured with a rectal thermometer spans from 98.6 to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (37.0 to 38.0 degrees Celsius).

Rectal thermometers are often colored cherry red to differentiate them from oral or axillary thermometers, as well as have a shorter, squat, pear, or stubby bulb shape. They are not meant to be used interchangeably with other types of thermometers.

Rare surgery frees 16-year-old from dwarfism
A 16-year-old boy successfully underwent a rare surgery at a city hospital here, freeing him from the curse of dwarfism.
Snehal Tirkhey, suffering from achondroplasia - a form of dwarfism - was just 3 feet tall as his legs were disproportionately short.
A team of doctors at the Indraprasta Apollo Hospital conducted on him a long and extensive treatment process called Illizarov technique, a type of external fixation used in orthopaedic surgery to lengthen or reshape limb bones. As a result, his height increased by 12 inches.
Achondroplasia is a rare bone related disease which is found roughly in one in 25,000 people. The average height of an adult with achondroplasia is just 52 inches.
"We are glad that with procedure that lasted nine months, we have been able to give the young boy a chance to lead a relatively normal life. His arms and legs are now in perfect proportion to each other," said Rajeev K. Sharma, senior consultant, department of orthopaedics, Indraprastha Apollo.
"The patient now will undergo a rehabilitation and extensive physiotherapy," he said. - IANS


Sometimes a piece of art finds you at just the right moment in your life, and makes a very big impact on you because of it. I'm a father of two young kids, it's currently October, and we're approaching my favorite holiday, Halloween. I'm also a fan of horror films. Just mere weeks ago I compiled on this website a list of movies, including greats like Gremlins and Little Shop of Horrors, that I can't wait to share with my kids. And then, lo and behold, the perfect book - Sir Simon: Super Scarer - falls into my lap.
Sir Simon is a picture book about a ghost - a passion project written and illustrated by Cale Atkinson and published by Tundra Books. Atkinson wrote that he has wanted to make a ghost story for a very long time. Passion can make all the difference in a work of art, and Atkinson's passion here is clear. His passion for Sir Simon: Super Scarer is in the details - literally.
So why did this picture book have such a huge impact on me? Atkinson recently announced that there were more than fifty Easter egg references to classic scary movies in Sir Simon. There are so many, and some of them are hidden so well, that he ran a contest for who could find them first. As an aside, I'm very proud to say that I pored over this book, scouring it for hidden references, and won this contest. Many of the images are hidden so well I never would have noticed them if Atkinson didn't point out that there were so many to find. Ultimately, this was an exercise that made me love this book even more.
That's the perfect storm that I'm talking about though - it's a sweet family picture book I can share with my kids with gorgeous illustrations and a really funny and original story. And on top of all that there are tons of very subtle nods to classic scary movies that I love. Are you kidding me? We're talking Gremlins, The Thing, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Little Shop of Horrors, Ghostbusters, and the list goes on and on. The references might be as subtle as Chester wearing Freddy's sweater from A Nightmare on Elm Street, or little Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors simply hiding among the house plants. All in all, it kind of feels like this book was made just for us.
But the real beauty about all of this is that all of the hidden scary movie references are just the icing on the cake. Many people will read this entire book without noticing a single Easter egg, and they will most certainly still love it just as much. That's because the illustrations are truly fantastic, and the story finds that perfect combination of funny and heartwarming that leaves a lasting impression.
Simon is a professional ghost. Scaring is his business. The funny thing is, scaring isn't scary at all when you see the ghost chores Simon is required to do. A big part of the humor in the story revolves around the idea that scaring is a job for Simon - and we get a behind-the-scenes look at his tasks like flushing toilets and stomping in the attic. We get a good glimpse at a lot of these funny chores in the beautiful endpapers of the book as well.
But Simon is still pretty excited, because he's been assigned to his first ever house haunting. He thinks it's going to be a pretty easy job too, because it's supposed to be an old lady moving in. But he didn't know young Chester was moving into the house with her.
Chester is a kid and he is not scared by Simon at all. In fact, he's super excited to meet a ghost. He actually wants to help Simon do his ghost chores. This is where that perfect combination of funny and heartwarming comes in. Simon lets Chester help with his ghost stuff, but perhaps not for the right reasons. But then Simon suddenly discovers something a little poignant and we get a very subtle glimpse into Chester's past - and the relationship between the ghost and the boy starts to change.
Sir Simon: Super Scarer checks just about every box I have on my official awesome picture book list. Very high-quality illustrations? Check. Touching and heartwarming story? Check. Makes me and the kids smile? Check. More than 50 secret references to my favorite scary movies? Check. I suppose if you want to get technical it's the only picture book that's checked all of those boxes.
If you consider Sir Simon a Halloween book, there's no doubt it should be right at the top of your list battling it out with the likes of Zen Ghosts, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown for all of your remaining Octobers. But this book will never be put away with the Halloween decorations in our house. This ghost is a face we want to see on our bookshelf and visit all year long.
Have you checked out Sir Simon: Super Scarer yet? How do you think you'll do finding all 50+ scary movie Easter eggs? Tell us your favorite part about this wonderful work of art in the comments.

$718.69+ White-themed First PC Build!
This PSU has such a good rating from the pros that I couldn't not get it. The only thing I wish they had done differently was make each of the VGA cables 2x 6+2 rather than 6+2 and 6pin. Oh well.
This was probably the most difficult part of my build, I knew nothing about PSU's, I was about to pick a random one with decent reviews when I stumbled across Johnyguru's site, man what a lifesaver, not only did I choose what is probably the best PSU in its category, I paid less than 70 euros for it too!
Highly rated, stable, provides plenty of power. Fully modular. Good PSU so far.
Great specs and well reviewed.
One word, modular. Never going back.
EVGA is premiere brand and when I say this for $50 bucks, I jumped all over it. sometimes being patient and building a box one part at a time pays off. The two parts I feel are most important are the PSU and the storage, hard to skimp on those.
Quiet, modular feature is a huge plus. ECO switch is better than expected. For $60 after MIR I couldn't be happier.


Wheeee!! It's me and the Dior Lolli'Glow Vernis Collection for Spring 2019! From the range, 3 of the 4 shades (poor Bubblegum 774 didn't make it in) landed on my desk, and they're all crazy good!
Dior Vernis Tutti Frutti 310 – Dior Lolli'Glow Spring 2019 (above). My notes for Dior nail polishes are always so short that when I sit here and try to write stuff, all that's written in my book is "3 coats no TC." I know. But that's still pretty helpful, ain't it?
Dior Vernis Popsicle 764 – Dior Lolli'Glow Spring 2019 (above). I wrote more stuff here! It says this is 2 coats with zero top coat. Lookit dat shine!
Man, I love Dior polishes. The brushes are the best of all the brushes. Their formulas are the best of all the formulas. Dior is consistently fabulous.
Dior Vernis Candy Cane 984 – Dior Lolli'Glow Spring 2019 (above). And finally, this not-so-spring shade of gorgeous that's apparently "sugar cane brown." Again, 2 insanely fast coats and zero top coat.
Oh! I gotta mention that this Spring 2019 Collection dries down scented! I can't really discern what the fragrance is, but I can tell you that it's not sugary sweet and it's not particularly floral. I'm not generally a lover of the scented polishes, but, weirdly, this one doesn't bug me. It could be that I'm just too overloaded by the amazingness that is Dior Vernis. Yeah, it's probably that.
Now let's discuss how we feel about luxury polish and the tag that comes with it! Do any of you have the kind of fondness I do for the perfection of Dior Vernis? Huh?

I have a long-standing mission to eat better, and make more food at home. Over the past few years, I've gotten a lot better at it, learning to cook as I go, firing up the grill even in winter, and making a constant attempt to bring that restaurant flavor to the kitchen at Rock Father HQ. When my wife and I used to go out on a more frequent basis (the pre-parenting era), I was a big fan of steakhouses. Actually, I still am - but the trick was always that my wife is a non-meat-eater. She loves the potato soup, though, and until recently, I couldn't properly pull it off at home… but that just changed.
The Simplest Peppermint Mocha Recipe to Make at Home (and more)!
When it comes to seasonal beverages, fall and winter tend to be my favorites, and coffee leads the charge. For the latter, nothing beats the warmth of a "Peppermint Mocha" during the holiday season, yet how exactly to make one is something of a debate. There's no shortage of recipes available for coffee drinks that have a dash of mint and chocolate, but most of them tend to be time-consuming, sometimes messy, and generally more complicated than they need to be. So what do I deem to be the Rock Father-approved way to bring a Christmas coffeehouse classic home for the holidays? After some trial and error in the kitchen here at Rock Father HQ, I'm going to share with you my recipe for the The Simplest Peppermint Mocha Recipe to Make at Home, and it starts with Folgers Coffeehouse Blend.
Just yesterday, I restocked my NewAir office fridge with some staple beverages from the 1990s and now. Surge, Crystal Pepsi, and Hi-C Ecto Cooler led the charge, with Diet Mountain Dew (still my favorite), some Mountain Dew Game Fuel (both Citrus Cherry and Mango Heat) along with a few bottles of Robinson's Iron Maiden Trooper 666 beer. Of all of those beverages, the first three are strangely-returned from the grave, and the Ecto Cooler has been the crown jewel since May. Notoriously hard-to-find after the Coca-Cola Company brought it back after a decade+ hiatus thanks to a new Ghostbusters movie (one I loved), it would pop-up at local grocers like Mariano's and Meijer in miniature juice boxes, with 12oz cans available exclusively though Amazon. I wrote about the delicious beverage back in July, and now comes news that it's a dead product once again.
Like so many, I'd seen those Box Tops for Education tabs on product packaging for years, never realizing what a big deal they were until my wife and I actually had kids in school ourselves. For the past 20 years, General Mills has been supporting education and America's schools through a very simple program: Clip the box tops from specially-marked products, submit them to your child's school (or a school you support), and each will be counted as 10¢, with participating schools able to earn up to $20,000 cash per year (no maximum annual earning limits for schools earning eBoxTops or Bonus Box Tops) to use on important supplies. This year, Costco is making it even easier to rack-up the Box Tops fast, by creating specially-marked packages that come with 8 additional Box Tops plus a code that can be redeemed at CostcoBoxTops.com for a shot at winning the Golden Box Tops Challenge and scoring one of 3,000 Box Tops Prize Packs - each containing 100 eBoxTops... that's $10 for your school, and all the earnings come from products you were already going to buy anyway. It's a win-win for all, and it's easy!
Last month, we had a chance to sample an early batch of Thomas' Salted Caramel English Muffins and Bagels - the latest limited-edition flavor offering from the folks at Thomas'. I took them up to a lake house we were staying at in Wisconsin, serving them up as part of breakfast for our entire crew, and as expected - they were delicious. Salted Caramel is one of the latest flavor trends to really take off after building steam over the past few years, and while a few people have indicated to me that they expect it to challenge Pumpkin in the years ahead, I say that's foolish. As a pumpkin enthusiast, I can tell you that nothing will ever overcome the mighty gourd as The King of Fall! Compliment it, sure... and with chunks of Salted Caramel baked right in, these new offerings from Thomas' are really good - available through early October. Then it's Pumpkin Spice time!

Q: How to return from shell 'read' command passed in expect script? I am really new to using expect, and a bit confused regarding passing commands to an expect script, so please bear with me... I have searched numerous forums, but cannot seem to find an example of an expect script that uses the read command to get user input.
In my Korn shell script, I call an expect script (expectssh.exp) to ssh login to another host and get user input regarding that host's network configuration (network interface card number and subnet mask information). I pass four arguments to the expect script: the remote host ip address, the username, the password, and the list of commands to run. My expect script is below:
#!/usr/bin/expect
# Usage: expectssh <host> <ssh user> <ssh password> <script>

set timeout 60
set prompt "(%|#|\\$) $"
set commands [lindex $argv 3];

spawn ssh [lindex $argv 1]@[lindex $argv 0]

expect {
"*assword:" {
send -- "[lindex $argv 2]\r"
expect -re "$prompt"
send -- "$commands\r"
}

"you sure you want to continue connecting" {
send -- "yes\r"
expect "*assword:"
send -- "[lindex $argv 2]\r"
expect -re "$prompt"
send -- "$commands\r"
}

timeout {
exit }
}

The script runs well, except that when it gets to the 'read' command, the script does not continue or exit after the user presses enter. It just hangs.
The commands I pass to the expect script and its call are as follows:
SCRIPT='hostname > response.txt;netstat -rn;read net_card?"What is the network interface card number?   " >> response.txt; read net_mask?"What is the subnet mask? " >> response.txt'

/usr/bin/expect ./expectssh.exp $hostip $usr $pswd "$SCRIPT"

Any suggestions on how I can pass the read command through my expect script without it hanging?
On a side note because I know it will come up - I am not allowed to do key-based automatic SSH login. I have to prompt for a username and password, which is done from the Korn shell script that calls this expect script.
Thanks for any suggestions and help you can provide!

A: For anyone interested, I was able to get the read command to work for user input by doing a few things:
(1) Putting it within an -re $prompt block instead of appending send -- "$commands\r" after the password entry.
(2) Hard coding the commands into the script rather than passing them in.
(3) Following the command with an interact statement so that the next send command isn't entered before the user responds.
My expect block now looks like this:
expect {
    -re "(.*)assword:" {
        send -s "$pswd\r"
        exp_continue
    }
    "denied, please try again" {
        send_user "Invalid password or account.\n"
        exit 5
    }
    "incorrect" {
        send_user "Invalid password or account.\n"
        exit 5
    }
    "you sure you want to continue connecting" {
        send -s "yes\r"
        exp_continue
    }
    -re $prompt {
        set timeout -1
        send -- "hostname > partnerinit\r"
        expect -exact "hostname > partnerinit\r"
        send -s "netstat -rn\r"
        expect -re "$prompt"
        send -- "read n_card?'Enter the network interface card number for this server (i.e. eth0):  '\r"
        interact "\r" return
        send -- "\r"
        send -- "echo \$n_card >> partnerinit\r"
        send -- "msk=\$(cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-\$n_card | grep NETMASK)\r"
        send -- "msk=\$(echo \${msk#NETMASK=})\r"
        send -- "echo \$msk >> partnerinit\r"
        send -- "cat partnerinit\r"
        set retval 0
    }
    timeout {
        send_user "Connection to host $host timed out.\n"
        exit 10
    }
    eof {
        send_user "Connection to host $host failed.\n"
        exit 1
    }
}

I also updated the script to automatically determine the subnet mask based on the network interface card number entered by the user. It was brought to my attention that finding the network interface card number would be very difficult to automate in the case of a box that has multiple interface cards. Better to start small and have the user enter it and fine-tune/automate it later once the overall script is working.
Now I'm working on modifying this to scp my partnerinit file back to my local host and to return meaningful exit statuses from each of the expect conditions.

Q: Is it possible to use just a capacitor to debounce a button? I have been wondering: why cannot you just hook up a capacitor to a button to debounce it? I have been figuring out how to reduce the work my microprocessor has to do, but I have very limited space on a PCB I am designing, so I don't want to do a full-blown debounce circuit which would complicate the design.

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab

That's a example circuit; sorry for any errors (I am not good at designing circuits with capacitors). Would this even work? For the tack switch, I couldn't find one that matches what it is in real life, but it works for this situation. The button is like the one found here. D10 stands for Digital Pin 10, but it doesn't matter; it just means the Arduino input. I also don't know how big of capacitor I would need, so if this circuit works, what size do I need?

Again, I am just trying to simplify this to make it easier to build while not having to do software debouncing. From looking at how capacitors work, this seems like it would work, but also it might make the button press longer/delay it if the capacitance is too big. They are commonly used for "smoothing" out noise in power supplies, so isn't this a similar thing where it "smooths" out the bouncing? Any circuit modifications to make it work (if needed) would also be appreciated.

A: It depends on what the default state of the switch is. A capacitor will only charge when you give it a positive voltage. Usually, in an embedded environment, we use a pull-up to give a pin a default high state, and link the switch to ground. Adding a capacitor won't help here, because it won't "store" the ground state.
However, you can also use a pull-down. This would mean the pin is by default low. Making it high by pressing the switch, will charge the capacitor. After releasing, the capacitor will keep the pin high for a little while, so yes, this would work. I'm not sure if 1uF is enough, too little or too much, I'd recommend you to look with a scope and try it out a bit.

A: I think the accepted answer said that you can only use an RC trick to de-bounce a switch that is tied to low, but I think that is not true. You can do it for high as well. Here is the schematics. There is a veritable de-bouncing Bible that recommended the following schematics:

RC de-bouncing, R1 tied to high, actuating the switch grounds it. However there is a capacitor parallel to the switch to ground and a R2 connecting the switch to the capacitor and the logic gate you want to feed. Shown here is an inverter, but it could be a buffer or any logic gate input.
When C is fully charged and you actuate the switch, the charge will drain through R2, hopefully until the switch has settled before you reach the logic low level on the input.
When C is fully discharged, and you open the switch, then C will charge through R1+R2 until logic high level is reached.
Since normal TTL logic high level at 2V is relatively low compared to logic low 0.8V level, it makes sense that R1+R2 will make the charge time longer than the discharge time only through R2.
Using a Schmitt-trigger input would push logic high to 4V (which some sources might not even hit reliably, but a switch would).
I will try this out now on my breadboard and (analog) scope. Hope I can see the bounces on channel 1 to trigger, and hope I can see it without it being a storage scope. But I can also use an 74LS161 4 bit counter to catch bounces. And lo and behold I have both the 74LS04 TTL hex inverter and 74LS14 Schmitt-trigger hex inverter on hand to play with.
Update: Experimental Results
Since I have no digital storage oscilloscope I could not use that at all. Instead I used a 74LS161 counter with 4 LEDs and I just make sure that each actuation of the switch counts exactly one increment.
I can clearly see the bouncyness of the switch. So, base line is positive, meaning I will be able to tell when my counter-measures will be effective.
I could not find a combination of R1, R2, and C that would work when I have a normal TTL input on the 74LS04. However, with a Schmitt trigger input of the 74LS14 I have a fairly good setup when R1 and R2 are both 1 kΩ and C = 1 μF or better even 4.7 μF. It obviously depends on the switch too.
I found some rubber button switches that had an internal resistance too high to they would not lower the input voltage enough. With two moderate quality switches I counted several runs of 16 and I had only a few glitches with 100 nF, 1 μF, and none with 4.7 μF.
With the normal TTL input I could not make it work.
However, if your input is an Arduino, you might want to double-check that in fact it's digital inputs might be Schmitt-triggers, and so you might do OK with R1 and R2 are both 1 kΩ and C = 1 μF and possibly even 100 nF.
Finally, after further frustrating experimentation and research, I conclude that on normal TTL levels it is simply impossible to use the RC method to de-bounce. And it doesn't matter if you tie your switch high or low.
You need a Schmitt trigger to do this. I doubt that even CMOS works.
Here is a short video from TI (they should know) saying that you need the Schmitt trigger inverter here.
And here is an alternative circuit with a Schmitt trigger, which is even more interesting as it doesn't require any capacitor.

However, I tried it, and found it doesn't work. Simply doesn't work.
The same white paper also offers a solution with two inverters and no resistor or capacitor of any kind, just requires a two position button.

I have tried it and it does not work either in this magic way. It almost works, but I still get double actuation much more often than with the RC 1k/1k/100nF and Schmitt trigger. Also, if I use this double inverter setup with the 74LS14 Schmitt trigger inverter, it doesn't work any better. So it just doesn't work, period.

A: "so I don't want to do a full-blown debounce circuit which would complicate the design".
I really don't understand why you made it that complicated or think that complicated. You don't mention what kind of MCU you are using however I can see it is an Arduino. You can do it by software input( pin, INPUT_PULLUP ); (so you don't need any external components) or you can use a pullup or pulldown resistor (SMD is really small) of 10K to GND or 5V, it is what you prefer to use.
The only thing you have to do is read a value from the input with a debounce rate in ms, use millis() for this (do not use delay()!) and use it in the loop() function. This is peanuts for every Arduino.
For example:

#define BTM_PIN_BTN_BT_POWER               10 // Tactile switch to power on/off/
#define BTM_POW_BTN_DEBOUNCE               200 // in ms
//#define BTM_POW_BTN_NO_WAIT              // uncomment if you don't want to wait for a release

bool getPowerButtonPressed() // I dunno if your button is power, this is just an example
{
  static uint32_t iDebounceTime = millis();
  bool bResult = false;

  if( millis()-iDebounceTime >= BTM_POW_BTN_DEBOUNCE )
  {
    #ifndef BTM_POW_BTN_NO_WAIT
    while( digitalRead( BTM_PIN_BTN_BT_POWER ) == HIGH )
    {
      bResult = true;
    }
    #else
      bResult = ( digitalRead( BTM_PIN_BTN_BT_POWER ) == HIGH );
    #endif

    iDebounceTime = millis();

}

  return bResult;
}

void loop()
{
  if( getPowerButtonPressed() )
  {
    // do something

  }

  // other code
  .....
  .....
}

That's it!


How does one accidentally get drunk? An open bottle of whiskey walking nearby tripped, fell, and landed in your mouth?
Have you never underestimated the strength of a mixed drink? Sometimes a single glass of punch can almost knock you out!
Drunk you has no shame.
I clicked YDI as soon as I read you got too drunk.
Then maybe you should exercise self control. Ever think about that?
This is a sad example of hate the playa, not the game. Poor form OP.
You really need to know your limit.
Guys don't like it when girls get sloppy drunk. Unless they are rapists.
Anyone who gets sloppy drunk can get annoying; it's not a question of gender.
You my dear are not old enough to drink...now or ever! How old are you? 13? Geez did a genie show up and make you drunk?
Maybe OP has never had alcohol or gotten drunk before, so didn't realise how quickly they'd get drunk or quite what effect it would have on them.
Did you date Bill Cosby?
