As you work with SimTutor, identifying findings and making hypotheses/diagnoses are accomplished through menu trees. The organization of these menu trees is described below as well as how to select and deselect items. Individual toolbar buttons are described in the next section.
Diagnostic criteria, such as fibroplasia, melanocytic proliferation or cytologic atypia are arranged into three main groups in a branching tree that can be expanded. It is important to note that prognostic criteria, such as margin status will be asked to be noted in the reporting section of the tutor.
Diagnostic criteria are initially divided into architectural, cytologic and other “branches.” Diseases are divided into benign and malignant branches initially. Melanocytic nevus is further divided into different maturation levels and the corresponding nevi types associated with that given maturation level. Malignant melanoma is further divided into degrees of invasion and the corresponding histological types associated with a given degree of invasion. Within each branch, items are listed alphabetically. A complete listing of diagnostic criteria and diseases appear in Appendix 1 and 2 of this manual.
There are two ways in which you can locate items in the menu trees: opening and closing the tree, or typing in a string to search for in the tree. To expand the tree, click a “branch” of the tree and that branch will open to display its contents. Branches that can expand are indicated by a triangle or rectangle on the right of the item. To open another branch, click on the expandable item.
Screenshot of Menu Tree for Findings with selection
Alternatively, you can have the program search the tree for a particular string of letters by typing the string and clicking “Go” or pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. The tree will highlight in orange any items containing that string. To go back to the original view of the tree, click the “Reset” button.
Note: you can zoom in and out of the menu tree by using the scroll wheel on your mouse when your mouse is over the tree.
Either:
Click on the item to highlight it and click to add the selection to the selection list
OR
Right click the item to select it.
Repeat step 1 to add additional items to the selection list as desired.
Click OK.
Even if the item appears to be highlighted from using the search tool, you still need to click the item to make sure it is selected.
To remove an item from the selection list:
Click on the item to highlight it. Make sure you are in the selection list in the right portion of the menu tree screen.
Click to remove the selection.
Click OK.
The first tab is used to examine the virtual slide and record a final diagnosis. You may also indicate relevant findings regarding diagnostic criteria. In monitoring your work, the tutor can provide feedback on diagnostic criteria you have identified and offer hints for identifying important diagnoses.
To indicate the presence of a finding:
Click the button.
Click the finding in the image to place an X at the location of the finding.
Select the appropriate finding from the menu tree that appears.
To describe findings:
Right click the text of the finding in Findings window.
Select “Describe Qualities” from the popup menu.
Select the appropriate description from the menu tree that appears.
If you misplace a finding X on the slide, you can move the X to a different area of the slide by holding down the mouse button and dragging the X to the correct location on the slide. When you mouse over a finding X, the name of the finding that X represents will appear on the screen.
For some cases, recognizing the absence of criterion is just as important in making the correct diagnosis as identifying criteria that are present.
To indicate that a finding is absent:
Click the button.
Select the appropriate absent finding from the menu tree that appears.
Absent findings that you have identified display with the word NO in front of them to distinguish them from present findings. Also, the menu tree for absent findings has a shaded background to distinguish it from the present findings menu.
As you are working through cases, it may be useful to you to generate a list of potential diagnoses that are relevant to the set of findings that you have identified thus far. In the tutor, these are called hypotheses.
To assert a hypothesis:
Click the button.
Select the appropriate hypothesis from the menu tree that appears.
When selecting hypotheses and diagnoses, the tutor automatically adds the maturation level for nevi (junctional, compound, or dermal) and the degree of invasion for melanomas (in-situ, in-situ and invasive, or invasive) to your list of items. If an item is selected that you do not want to add, deselect it by clicking on the item in the selection list and clicking the button.
In order to complete a case, you must record a final diagnosis.
To make a diagnosis:
Click the button.
Select your diagnosis / diagnoses.
You can also make a diagnosis by dragging any asserted hypothesis down into the diagnosis area.
Note: There are several cases within the tutor where the maturation level of a nevus (COMPOUND NEVUS) or degree of invasion of a melanoma (IN-SITU AND INVASIVE MELANOMA) is sufficient for the final diagnosis. Therefore, there will be cases where the nevus type or histological type will not be required for you to come to the correct final diagnosis.
The Glossary browser allows you to search for terms and obtain more information about them. It contains all findings, qualities of findings, diseases, and stains that are available in the tutor. To open the Glossary browser, click the button. The left-hand side of the glossary window displays the list of terms available, and the right-hand side will contain the glossary contents for whatever item is selected. When first opened, the glossary browser window will list all items in the glossary.
To search for a particular item, type the item in the “Search” field. The glossary list will contain any items related to the search term. For example, if you wanted to see a list of immunohistochemical stains the tutor recognizes, you can begin typing “immuno” in the search field and all of the stains will appear in the list. Click on an item in the list to view the glossary contents. All items contain a definition, and some findings will also include a picture. To view the whole picture, use the scrollbars if necessary. You can also see a larger view of the picture by double clicking on the picture. To close the larger image, click OK. Click OK to close the Glossary browser.
To see the patient history and gross description for the case you are viewing, click the button. The case information will appear in a pop-up window. Click OK to close the pop-up window.
Once you are finished working through a case, you can click the button. The tutor will inform you that you are not done with a case if you have not reached the correct and/or complete diagnosis. The use of hints and mistake text to find a correct diagnosis is covered in the next section.
If you have reached the correct and complete diagnosis, the Type Report tab is activated. To move on to typing your report, click the Type Report tab.


I’ve previously experimented a bit with timeboxing (primarily using a Pomodoro timer) and have found that it did increase my level of focus, although I haven’t used it recently (other than timeboxing an hour to read the time and habit management resources). I found that a lot of the material in the ‘Seven Counterintuitive Ways to be Insanely Productive’ article really resonated with me - I used to be quite rigid in how I attempted to structure my time when I was working on something, and this would usually backfire in that I would inevitably fall off the wagon when I couldn’t live up to the standards I was trying to impose on myself from the outside - so I have been more mindful recently of making room for breaks and treating things that increase my overall wellbeing as important in and of themselves (like meditation, although I tend more to use guided meditation and journalling). I have also previously tried using organisation systems like GTD, but with limited success.
The line 'People don’t procrastinate because they’re lazy. People procrastinate as a self-defense mechanism against doing stuff they despise or doing things too mechanically’ from ‘Seven Counterintuitive Ways to be Insanely Productive’ rang really true for me. I also found the material on habit formation very interesting - all the advice on starting small and using existing habits to trigger new habits seemed to make a lot of sense, and the idea of using extrinsic motivation to get a new habit started but recognising that for it to continue, there will need to be intrinsic motivation associated with the benefits accruing from it in order for it to continue into the long term seemed accurate as well. I had also previously encountered material on Carol Dweck’s ‘fixed’ vs. ‘growth’ mindsets, but I did find it interesting to have it explicitly noted that someone can have a fixed mindset in some areas of their life and a growth mindset in others - that also rang very true.
Timeboxing an hour to read through the material worked surprisingly well for me, so I’m interested in experimenting more with timeboxing techniques - which could be particularly helpful for me as I have perfectionistic tendencies and sometimes spend longer on tasks than I know I probably should.
I’m very keen to start trying to form some new habits in terms of structuring my workday - I think the idea of using exisiting habits to trigger new ones, and starting small, could be quite helpful for me. I also like the idea of deliberately incorporating things like meditation into my day (which seems to consciously acknowledge the fact that humans aren’t robots, and overall wellbeing is important and activities that promote this need to be deliberately worked in (and can actually have an overall positive effect on productivity anyway)).

Directions: Based on the RGB value above (three numbers), select the color you think is being represented. When you guess the answer you get 5 points and lose 1 point for each of the missed answers. This is one of the best games for the brain of web developers and designers, helping you to learn and understand the RGB color model.
What is RGB? RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is a system of representing colors on a computer display. Each color is represented by three numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255. The first number represents red, the next represents green and the final number represents how much blue there is. The higher the number, the more of that color. So, for example (255, 0, 0) represents a full red color, because the number representing red is the highest possible value (255) and there is zero green and zero blue. (0, 0, 0) produces black and (255, 255, 255) produces white (see image). These 3 colors can be combined to produce any visible color. In this guess the color game, three random number are generated which, when combined, produce a color within the visible spectrum. This color system is used online in web deveopment and design.

For the chicken; mix the tequila, lime, chilli, beer and garlic together in a large bowl.
Score the chicken legs with a sharp knife and place into the marinade. Mix well to coat the chicken in the marinade, then transfer to the fridge to marinate for two hours.
Heat the oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when dropped into it. (Caution: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry.
Dredge the chicken legs in the seasoned flour, then carefully place into the hot oil and deep-fry for 15 minutes, or until golden-brown and completely cooked through.
Carefully remove the chicken legs from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
For the guacamole, place all of the guacamole ingredients into a clean bowl and mix together well.
For the pico de gallo, place all of the pico de gallo ingredients into a clean bowl and mix together well.
To serve, place the chicken legs into a big bowl with the bowls of guacamole and pico de gallo alongside.

Inspired by childhood holidays by the seaside, these dainty petits fours require patience and a steady hand but are well worth the effort.
For the Italian meringue buttercream, whisk the egg whites in a bowl until soft foamy peaks form. Weigh out 25g/1oz of the caster sugar, then continue to whisk the egg whites and gradually add the sugar until well combined. Continue to whisk until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed.
Heat the remaining sugar and the water into a small saucepan on a low to medium heat until the mixture looks clear. (Swirl the pan if some sugar remains undissolved.) Increase the heat to just above medium and boil until the sugar mixture reaches 118C/245F. (Measure this with a sugar thermometer.)
Continue to whisk the egg whites and slowly add the sugar syrup, continue whisking until the bowl no longer feels hot then add the butter, at a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Continue whisking for a further 2-3 minutes, or until smooth and thick.
Beat the buttercream icing with a wooden spoon to remove some of the air then spoon half the mixture into an icing bag fitted with a small plain nozzle. Spoon the remaining buttercream into a bowl and cover with cling film.
To make the sponges, preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Line three 30cm x 23cm/12in x 9in Swiss roll tins with greaseproof paper.
For the pink sponge, weigh the eggs in their shells then weigh out equal quantities of flour, sugar and margarine. Place all the ingredients into a bowl, beat until light and creamy then transfer the mixture to the tin and level the surface with a palette knife. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the sponge is golden-brown and cooked through. Allow the sponge to cool then turn out onto a board and peel off the paper.
For the vanilla sponge, repeat step 6, adding the vanilla seeds instead of the food colouring.
For the chocolate sponge, repeat step 6, substituting two tablespoons of the flour for the cocoa powder.
To make the mini brandy snap ‘flakes', preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
Heat the sugar, butter and golden syrup in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the flour, brandy, ground ginger and lemon zest until well combined then spoon small spoonfuls onto the baking trays, leaving plenty of room for the mixture to spread. Bake for 6–7 minutes, or until golden-brown and holes are starting to develop. Remove from the oven, allow to cool a little then wrap each one around an oiled pencil. Set aside to cool on a wire rack. (If the brandy snaps become too stiff to work, return them to the oven for a few seconds.)
Dip the ends of the brandy snaps into the melted chocolate and set aside to cool on a wire rack.
To make the ganache, heat the double cream in a saucepan until just boiling, then add the chocolate. Beat until thick and smooth then remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
To make the raspberry sauce, push the raspberries through a fine sieve and stir in the icing sugar to make a thick paste. Pour the sauce into a squeezy bottle.
To assemble, using a serrated knife and a ruler, cut the sponges into 5cm/2in squares, trimming if necessary to ensure they are all of the same thickness. Sandwich the cakes with the buttercream; pink on the bottom, vanilla in the middle and chocolate on the top. (Refill the piping bag with buttercream if necessary.) Spread ganache on top of the cakes and top with a swirl of buttercream. Finish with a brandy snap ‘flake’ and drizzle over the raspberry sauce.


Running Lua programs on z/OS
To run a Lua program, use the Lua stand-alone interpreter. z/OS-specific details are described here.
MVS versus z/OS UNIX
Lua4z includes two versions of the Lua interpreter:
- A version for running Lua programs on z/OS UNIX
- A version for running Lua programs on MVS (including TSO/E)
The z/OS UNIX version is installed in a z/OS UNIX directory. The features of the Lua interpreter on z/OS UNIX match the features on other, non-z/OS platforms.
The MVS version is installed in an MVS program library that might have been added to the LINKLIST concatenation. The MVS version of the Lua interpreter introduces the following features:
- LUA ddname
- LUACONF member
LUA ddname
The name of the Lua program that you specify to the MVS version of the Lua interpreter can be the name of a member in an MVS data set (PDS or library). That data set must belong to the concatenation specified by the LUA ddname.
In TSO/E (including ISPF), you would typically define the LUA ddname in your TSO/E logon procedure. For example:
//LUA DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&SYSUID..LUA
You can also allocate the LUA ddname dynamically in TSO/E. For example, suppose you want to run the Lua program MYID.LUA(HELLO), but the LUA ddname does not refer to MYID.LUA. You can enter the following TSO/E command to reallocate the ddname:
ALLOC F(LUA) DA('MYID.LUA') SHR REUSE
and then enter the following command to run the program:
LUA HELLO
LUACONF member
If a member named LUACONF exists in the LUA ddname concatenation, then the MVS version of the Lua interpreter uses that member to set the values of the LIBPATH, LUA_CPATH, and LUA_PATH environment variables.
For information about how Lua uses the LUA_CPATH and LUA_PATH variables, see the Lua Reference Manual.
The LIBPATH variable is not specific to Lua. LIBPATH is the z/OS UNIX environment variable that defines the dynamic link library (DLL) search path. LIBPATH must refer to the Lua4z lib directory that contains liblua.so, which is the shared object file that contains the Lua standard libraries. (Lua programs running on MVS use the LIBLUA load module stored in the same MVS data set as the interpreter load module, LUA.)
The contents of LUACONF has the following format:
LUA_HOME = "value"
LIBPATH = "value"
LUA_CPATH = "value"
LUA_PATH = "value"
where each line is optional.
LUA_HOME is not an environment variable; it is a special variable that you can specify in LUACONF as a shortcut for defining LIBPATH, LUA_CPATH, and LUA_PATH.
If you specify LUA_HOME, any other definitions in LUACONF are ignored.
Specifying the following single line in LUACONF:
LUA_HOME = "home"
is equivalent to specifying the following lines:
LIBPATH = "home/lib"
LUA_CPATH = "./?.so;" ..
"home/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;" ..
"home/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so;" ..
"//?"
LUA_PATH = "./?.lua;" ..
"home/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;" ..
"home/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;" ..
"home/lib/lua/5.1/?.lua;" ..
"home/lib/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;\" ..
"//DD:LUA(?)"
Lua4z initializes the LIBPATH, LUA_CPATH, and LUA_PATH variables in LUACONF with the following default values that refer to /usr/local
:
LIBPATH = "/usr/local/lib"
LUA_CPATH = "./?.so;" ..
"/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;" ..
"/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so;" ..
"//?"
LUA_PATH = "./?.lua;" ..
"/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;" ..
"/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;" ..
"/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.lua;" ..
"/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;" ..
"//DD:LUA(?)"
You can use the Lua string concatenation operator to prepend or append to these default values. For example:
LIBPATH = LIBPATH .. ":/u/myid/lib"
is equivalent to:
LIBPATH = "/usr/local/lib:/u/myid/lib"
To check the values of these environment variables in a running Lua program, run paths.lua supplied in the Lua4z examples directory.
Square brackets
Lua4z (both the MVS and z/OS UNIX versions of the Lua interpreter) works with Lua programs encoded using EBCDIC code page 1047 or 037.
Lua4z includes code to tolerate square brackets that are encoded using EBCDIC code page 037. Rather than rejecting 037-encoded square brackets as garbled input, Lua4z interprets them as square brackets.
Consider configuring your 3270 terminal emulator to use host code page 1047 rather than 037. (Although you might have a specific reason for using 037, which is why Lua4z tolerates square brackets encoded in that code page.)
TSO/E foreground
Member in the LUA ddname concatenation
Suppose you have a member named MYID.LUA(HELLO) containing the following Lua program:
print("Hello, World!")
where the MYID.LUA library is in the LUA ddname concatenation.
To run the Lua program in TSO/E foreground, enter the following command at a TSO/E or ISPF command prompt:
LUA HELLO
MVS data set not in the LUA ddname
To run a Lua program that is stored in an MVS data set that is not in the LUA ddname concatenation, specify two slashes, then the fully qualified data set name enclosed in single quotation marks, all enclosed in double quotation marks:
LUA "//'HERID.LUA(HELLO)'"
z/OS UNIX file
To run a Lua program that is stored in a z/OS UNIX file, specify the absolute path of the Lua program in quotation marks:
LUA "/usr/local/lua4z/doc/examples/hello.lua"
POSIX functions
If your Lua program uses POSIX functions, enter LUAP
instead of LUA
.
LUAP invokes the Lua interpreter with the Language Environment runtime option
POSIX(ON)
.
Interactive mode
To start the Lua interpreter in interactive mode, enter LUA
or LUAP
without any parameters.
To exit interactive mode, either:
- Enter
os.exit()
- Press the System Attention key
Batch
The following JCL runs the Lua program MYID.LUA(HELLO):
/MYLUA JOB job card details
//LUA EXEC PGM=LUA,PARMDD=SYSIN
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//LUA DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MYID.LUA
//SYSIN DD *
hello
/*
If your program has particular runtime requirements, then you can specify Language Environment runtime options before the Lua program name, separated by a slash.
For example, if your program uses POSIX functions, specify
POSIX(ON)
:
posix(on) / hello -n 1234 //lua(config)
In the previous example, -n 1234 //lua(config)
are arguments to the Lua program, where //lua(config)
is a member
in the LUA ddname concatenation. In this example, since the LUA ddname in the JCL specifies only one data set, //lua(config)
refers to the member MYID.LUA(CONFIG).
The previous JCL assumes that the program library that contains the Lua interpreter is in the LINKLIST concatenation, as described in the Lua4z installation instructions. If the Lua interpreter is not in LINKLIST, you need to specify its program library in the STEPLIB ddname:
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.LUA4Z.LOADLIB
z/OS UNIX dependencies when running on MVS
No z/OS UNIX dependencies when using standard libraries only
If you run a Lua program on MVS (for example, in an MVS batch job or from an ISPF command prompt) and that program uses only the core Lua programming language and standard libraries, then there are no dependencies on z/OS UNIX files. The Lua program relies on the MVS version of the Lua interpreter and standard libraries that are installed in an MVS data set.
In this case:
LIBPATH is not relevant because the MVS version of the Lua interpreter does not need that variable to find the MVS load library member LIBLUA; that member is in the same MVS data set as the interpreter.
LUA_CPATH is not relevant because the
require
function does not need to find any .so files.The LUA_PATH environment variable is relevant only if your Lua program uses the
require
function to refer to another Lua program.
z/OS UNIX dependencies when using Lua extensions
If you run a Lua program on MVS and that program uses any of the Lua extensions included with Lua4z, then you need files that are stored in the z/OS UNIX file system. Specifically, shared object (.so) files supplied in the Lua4z lib directory, Lua program (.lua) files supplied in the Lua4z share directory, or both, according to each Lua extension. Furthermore, the Lua extension .so files refer to the liblua.so file on z/OS UNIX, not the MVS load library member LIBLUA that is used by the running MVS version of the Lua interpreter.
In this case:
LIBPATH must refer to the Lua4z lib directory because it contains liblua.so.
LUA_CPATH must refer to the Lua extension .so files supplied in the Lua4z lib/lua/5.1 directory.
The LUA_PATH environment variable must refer to the Lua extension .lua files supplied in the Lua4z share/lua/5.1 directory.
z/OS UNIX
To make a Lua program an executable UNIX program, use chmod +x
and add the following shebang line to the start of the program:
#!/usr/local/bin/lua
where /usr/local/bin/lua
is the location of the Lua interpreter.


def load_vocabulary(vocab_file):
with open(vocab_file, "r") as f:
return [line.strip() for line in f]
def create_vocabulary(
data,
for line in f:
line = line.strip()
if " " in line:
line = line.split(" ")[0]
vocabulary.append(line)
return vocabulary
//return [line.strip() for line in f]

This rustic lamb casserole is full of flavour, especially if made ahead, and the lamb is meltingly tender. Harissa is a chilli paste with quite a kick; rose harissa, which I prefer to use, is sweeter and less fiery due to the addition of rose petals. I don’t like my food too spicy, so this dish is mild, but if you prefer it hot just add more harissa and good luck!
Preheat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a deep, ovenproof frying pan or flameproof casserole dish. Sprinkle the cumin and coriander over the lamb pieces and fry in two batches in the hot oil for about 5 minutes or until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Pour the remaining oil into the pan, add the ginger and onions and fry over a high heat for 10 minutes until soft. Pour in the wine and boil for 2–3 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the caramelised meaty bits.
Add all the remaining ingredients, except the beans, and stir well, then return the lamb to the pan, season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil.
Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven to cook for 1 hour 15 minutes. Stir in the beans and return to the oven to cook for 15 minutes, or until the lamb is tender.

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY (1991) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1997 Ted Prigge
Director: James Cameron Writers: James Cameron and William Wisher Jr. Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, Robert Patrick, Joe Morton, Erin Boen, Don and Dan Stanton
I moved to college on Ausust 29th, 1997, which is the same day as "Judgment Day" in "Terminator 2," which was basically the big apocalypse that killed most of the population, and, of course, launched the "Terminator" films. In a typical film version of this, the action sequences would be half-assed, and it would be as deep as a Seagal film. But under the helm of James Cameron, who's the world's biggest perfectionist, we get a film with depth and some totally ass-kicking action sequences, which he's famous for.
In the original film (also done by Cameron), a Terminator (Ah-nold) arrived from the future to assasinate the mother (Linda Hamilton) of the leader of the rebellion against the robots in the future, who ruled the earth after the big apocalypse until the humans rebelled. But another human arrived too (Michael Biehn), who not only killed the Terminator (and was also killed), but ended up being the father of the leader of the rebellion (a lovely twist).
Jump ahead about 10 years or so, the mother's now in an asylum; the son, John (Edward Furlong), is a rebellious Bart Simpson-type, living with foster parents, and riding around on a little moped with his friend; and two terminators have arrived with different missions: T-1000 (Robert Patrick), a liquid terminator, sent to kill John; and T-100 (Ah-nold) , this time sent to protect him from T-1000. They both arrive in electric lightning, totally buck naked, and on other parts of a bad city.
They both get clothes (although T-1000 has a cool thing where he can imitate anything it impales, and can do other liquid things), and they both set out to find John. They both pretty much find him first, duke it out a bit, ending in a giant Cameron-esque explosion, and soon they rescue the mother from the asylum, who has also begun to attempt an escape.
Part of Arnold's programming not only makes him protect John, but do whatever he commands. And he soon not only becomes his friend and pretty much his bitch, but soon he has become a father figure to him, and with the mother there, they form a kind of family unit.
The plot twists a bit, and we find out that a blooming company found the chip and arm from the first terminator and has taken that direction. But on August 29th, 1997 (a day I still think about), they somehow blew up the world, and all their robots took over the world, fighting the remaining humans, led by a grown-up John. Once this is found out, the mother decides to make it her business to stop it all by assasinating the head of the company (Joe Morton), who instead of being a jerk, goes ahead and helps them stop it by blowing up all the information. This leads to about 30 minutes or so of straight action sequences, right up until the end (which pissed me off when I rewatched it on NBC last night because they had to cut to commercial at several inconvenient times).
Now, is "Terminator 2" the greatest single action film ever made?
Nearly. The plot is so creepy and ominous that it's totally intriguing. The elements of depth are very well handled, causing us to care about the characters and even to question the mother's choice in killing Morton, and even think of Arnold as a near human. There are elements to humanize Arnold, and he almost becomes one, though he can feel nothing, but later on love for who he's protecting, and care for the mother, as well as a nifty way to not kill people all the time, causing this to have a surprisingly low body count for such a riveting action pic.
And Cameron is a master of action scenes. And since Arnold cannot be killed by mere bullets, he can go way, way, way over the top with his scenes. He also equips T-1000 with a bunch of cool new perks. For one, he can mutate, and everything.  A master of using an idea to its fullest limits, we not only get him shooting him with a gun to stop him for a couple seconds, but he later freezes him, uses a machine gun on him, etc. His action sequences are not just there to look cool, but to advance the plot.
This is one instance where the special effects work perfectly. They look realistic, they help with the cool action sequences, and they are, basically, jaw-dropping. Of course, James Cameron always makes the best special effects, I mean, other than Spielberg. The whole idea of T-1000 is an ingnius idea, and the film has the special effects to back his innovativeness up. There's also a cool bit at the end involving what looks like outtakes from John Carpenter's "The Thing."
There is one question of a potential flaw in the film.  This involves the fact that if they stop "Judgment Day," then how was John Connor conceived, since his father came back from the future, which has been stopped by the end...unless they didn't actually stop it. I mean, the company could have had diskettes elsewhere when the plant was blown up. I dunno. But I remember discussing this with other people, and someone pointed out the theory of time lines, where there are alternate realities that come out (also used in the "Back to the Future" trilogy). But, I'm still a believer in the "12 Monkeys" theory of time: that it's linear. But oh well. Let's not try to think to hard on this one.
The film also features some actually excellent performances. Arnold is pretty much at his best here, combining zombie-like creepiness with some human depths that are meticulously added in the right places. Linda Hamilton continues on the Cameron streak of strong female leads (started with Ripley), and also proves herself a talented actress and powerful action lead (and has never looked so attractive). Eddie Furlong is good, best he ever was. Joe Morton, as always, rocks.
And Robert Patrick gives a perfectly delicious creepy performance. He has this kind of Malcolm MacDowell "Clockwork Orange" stare, equipped with greasy pushed-back hair, (big ears) and some little doses of mechanical humor - like staring as one of his victims struggles or almost being beaten, then looking up at his enemy, and mocking them pretentiously. He has never been this awesome, and I doubt he ever will (the poor guy's career never really took off, save a cool performance in "Copland," a cameo in "Wayne's World" as his T-1000 character, and he also did a grade-Z erotic thriller with Teri Hatcher where he got to touch her bare breasts - for all you horny bastards, it's called "The Cool Surface," and it sucks).
But "T2" is probably the second best action film ever made, close by to "Die Hard." It involves some of the most amazing action sequences ever executed, a story that's so engrossing that the film has become one of the ten most defining films of the past decade (from the "Premiere"), and features good acting, and a good old paradox or two. "Terminator 2" is basically how one makes a great big-budget action film.

Given an image of a target person and an image of another person wearing a garment, we automatically generate the target person in the given garment. At the core of our method is a pose-conditioned StyleGAN2 latent space interpolation, which seamlessly combines the areas of interest from each image, i.e., body shape, hair, and skin color are derived from the target person, while the garment with its folds, material properties, and shape comes from the garment image. By automatically optimizing for interpolation coefficients in the latent space and per layer, we can perform a seamless, yet true to source, merging of the garment and target person. Our algorithm allows for garments to deform according to the given body shape, while preserving pattern and material details. Experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art photo-realistic results at high resolution (512x512).
We train a pose-conditioned StyleGAN2 network that outputs RGB images and segmentations.
After training our modified StyleGAN2 network, we run an optimization method to learn interpolation coefficients for each style block. These interpolation coefficients are used to combine style codes of two different images and semantically transfer a region of interest from one image to another. This method can be used for generated StyleGAN2 images or on real images by first projecting the real images into the latent space.
VOGUE can transfer garments between different poses and body shapes. It preserves garment details (shape, pattern, color, texture) and person identity (hair, skin color, pose).
Virtual try-on between two real images is possible by first projecting the two images into the StyleGAN Z+ latent space. Improving projection is an active area of research.

††††††††††††††† We slept in until almost 8AM.† I got up and filet two fish and took them up to Bob.† He made breakfast of fish, biscuits and gravy for the four of us.† Mark had gone to check on his property down south.† He borrowed our camera to try and get some pictures to show the court in this lawsuit over right a way to the property.† Bob had a talk with Mark yesterday to let him know that they would prefer that Mark make other arrangements for a place to live.† I am not sure just what is right but I know that Bob and Carroll are getting tired of having Mark with them.† After breakfast Bob and Carroll went to a funeral of a friend of theirs.† Bob became acquainted with Duke when he worked at the hospital.† Mae and I came downstairs and watched General Conference.† I filet the remainder of the fish and sealed them for freezing.† I took 3 of them up and put in Bobís fridge for them.† We enjoyed conference both morning and afternoon sessions.† Mae did some house work and we prepared some green peppers to dry.† Mae helped me put the boat away.† We also checked the red hen and found that she had been pecked and her come was bleeding.† I think it is the rooster that is doing this to the hens.† We put her out of the run so it can heal up.† I think that we had better butcher the rooster.† Also I checked the rabbits, as the doe hasnít had her kits.† I found that she was in heat so put her back in with the buck.† I donít understand what is happening with them but maybe the buck is sterile.† This evening I went to the Priesthood Session of Conference.† When I left for the meeting Mae was out side trimming the lawn.† When I got home Mae was busy cleaning cupboards.† She finished and took her shower while I went out and checked the chickens.† I couldnít find where the red hen is.† Mae took her shower and after she got out she realized that her wedding rings are missing.† We looked around the house but they may have come off while she was trimming yards.† They have become loose on her finger as she has lost so much weight.† It is too late to look tonight so we just went to bed with a prayer that we might find them tomorrow.
Sunday, October 04, 2009
††††††††††††††† We got up late this morning so while Mae prepared breakfast I took care of the chickens and rabbits.† I am some what frustrated with our rabbits as I have put the oldest doe in with the buck twice now and she still hasnít had kits.† I am concerned about the 2nd doe as she has been breed twice but hasnít had kits yet.† She is due on the middle of Oct. again.† We are also concerned with the chickens.† Both of the white chickens have had their heads pecked until they have been bleeding.† I put them outside the coop to let them heal but now I am unable to find their nests.† Saturday the red hen was bleeding from her comb so I put her out of the pen.† To night I couldnít find where the red hen is roosting.† I checked the white hens last night and both are laying eggs.†
††††††††††††††† It was raining to hard this morning to look for Maeís rings.† Bob had prepared dinner between conference sessions and by the time we got back downstairs the afternoon session was starting.† All the talks and music was great but Elder Jeffery R. Holland gave one of the strongest testimonies of the Book of Mormon that I have ever heard.† I would like that talk given at my funeral just for my family.
††††††††††††††† I want to record what happened with Maeís wedding ring set.† I mentioned that Saturday when I went to General Priesthood meeting, Mae was out side trimming the yard.† Not only did she trim the lawns but then she started pulling weeds from the rose bushes in front.† She also dug out weeds and grass that was growing in the cracks of the driveway.† She worked until dark and then gathered up the weeds she had pulled and put them in the trash cans. When I got home she had just got out of the shower.† As she got dressed she realized that her wedding rings were missing.† It was to late to look much Saturday evening, so after conference I went out and took all the trash out of the first trashcan.† Mae had put trash in both cans, so after replacing the trash back in the first can I took it out to the front curb as Monday Morning is trash pickup day.† On the way back, planning to go through the trash in the 2nd can, I decided to look around the roses in the front.† During this time Mae had gone in the bedroom and knelt in prayer, asking Heavenly Fatherís help.† She had said that we might not know where to look but Heavenly Father know where her rings were.† I didnít have any luck around the rose bushes so started back for the 2nd can.† As I got half way across the driveway, I felt that I should look out in the driveway.† I walked about 10 feet down the driveway and there laid the rings.† I had to look closely at them as they were covered with dirt and weeds.† I brought them in and called Mae, she was just coming out from asking the Lords help.† When she saw them she just broke into tears of joy and gratitude for the Lords help in finding them.† I had said several silent prayers but Mae seems to have an absolute faith in prayer.
††††††††††††††† I called and talked to Roy this evening and found that Linda isnít doing very well.† She is loosing blood and the Dr. doesnít know where or how.†† I also called Rich and visited for a few minutes.† I called Irven and Sandy to let them know how Linda is.† This evening I put the two white hens back in the coop and took the rooster out.† I couldnít find where the red hen is roosting and I still canít find where they are laying eggs.† It was after 9PM when I entered this entry but I have a bus route in the morning so we had better get to bed.
Monday, October 05, 2009
††††††††††††††† I got up early this morning and took a bus run.† It was a special ed grade school run so it didnít last to long.† However we held an emergency evacuation drill when we got to the school under simulation as to how we would get the children off the bus if there was a engine fire.† With special ed. Students it is a little hard to explain to them just what we were doing.† I went to the back of the bus and the assistant brought the children back.† I helped the children get out through the read door.† It went ok.† I was supposed to be in a training class at 9AM but didnít get back to the compound until 9:15AM.† When I went in the training room I was the first one in.† The training was ok and it covered bus components and pre-check and post-check procedures during the first half and loading and unloading during the 2nd half.† It finished at 12:30PM.† I came home and ate lunch and then took a nap.† I took the afternoon run of the bus route.† That went well and we got back to the compound at 4:30PM.† I felt that I should take a few minutes and get on the computer to enter my last field trip and bid on next weeks run.† When I logged into the computer, it told me that I had un-read messages.† When I checked the messages I had one that said that I had 2 field trips assigned to me for this week.† I had only got 1 field trip print out sheet.† By the time I finished everyone in the office had gone so I will have to check on the 2nd trip tomorrow.† Mae had dinner ready when I got home.† After eating she and I went for a walk.† Bob came out just as we returned home and said that the weather report indicated that we would get heavy frost tonight.† We decided to check for any thing we might save from the garden.† We got quite a lot of tomatoes, corn and strawberryís.† I filled in this journal when we came in.† We then had a game of Rummy and at the end Mae won that.† I finished this entry and we went to bed.
Tuesday, October 06, 2009
††††††††††††††† Before we went to bed last night Mae read me a report from Phyllis Schlafly that really got to me and as a result I didnít sleep very well.† I got up about 4AM and found that Mae was sleeping in the recliner.† Then when I got up I read the last of 3rd Nephi and that didnít help as I see the same things taking place today.† I was really a grump today and I think Mae was glad when I was outside.† Mae and I got Jeffís motorcycle out and Mae washed it.† We then took pictures so that Jeff can get it advertised for sale.† Mae helped me get the snowmobiles out and I started getting them ready to advertise for sale.† Jeff and Scott came for lunch.† Mae read the Phyllis Schlafly report to them.† Jeff took it as so what!† Scott felt to busy trying to keep up with what he has now to do.† I went over to the bus compound to find out about a field trip that I had been awarded and then it wasnít on the print out.† It was one that Roberta had to give to a full time driver so she gave me another route in its place.† she also ask me to take a PM route this afternoon and a field trip tomorrow.† I had time to go to Greenís feed store and get some chicken feed and then back to the compound to make the run.† I got held up in construction traffic, plus I went to the wrong grade school so I was quite late getting to the school.† We made it ok.† Mae had dinner ready when I got home so we ate and went to the Family History Center.† After leaving the center we stopped at Aunt Bethís and wished her a 85th Happy Birthday which will be celebrated Saturday.† We will be out of town so will not be able to attend it.† She told us of Maeís cousin LaDeane Olsen Tingey that died from censor and the funeral will be tomorrow.† On the way home Mae made arrangements to attend the funeral with Bryce and Deanna.† At home I spent quite a while on Google Map, finding Copper Hills High School in Salt Lake.† I then entered this entry before going to bed.†
Wednesday, October 07, 2009
††††††††††††††† Mae prepared breakfast so I ate and then took a shower.† Mae went with Bryce and Kim to LaDeaneís funeral.† I took care of the animals and then took my boat over to Dickís to have it winterized.† I got natural gas for the pickup while I was in that area.† I then went to Irvenís and drained the water from the swamp cooler and shut off the outside water.† They wanted me to also put a cover over the cooler and put a pillow in the down vent.† I told them that I didnít have time to do that and wasnít sure when I could get to it.† I came home and ate some lunch and finished putting the lunch together for my field trip.† I went to the bus compound and got my bus and went to Davis High School.† We used two buses to transport the total Davis High School Football team to Copper Canon High even though only the JV team played tonight.† Davis lost 13 to 14.† After the game the coach had us take them to Chuck-A-Rama on Redwood Road and 8800 South.† The coach took the complete team out to eat.† When we got back to Davis High the 2nd bus driver didnít set his brake and got up to do a walk thru.† He didnít feel the bus roll forward and it hit one car and shoved it into a second car.† That sure made the trip end up on a bad note.† We had to get a police officer over to get a report filled out.† We couldnít call anyone from the District so the driver will have to call in tomorrow.† This was the driverís first field trip.† I really felt bad for him.† I had to go with him to the Farmington compound to leave his bus, then he brought me back to Davis where I got my bus and took it to the Clearfield compound.† It was 10 PM before I finished tonight.† Jeff came to get the camp trailer and waited for me to get there to hook up the lights as I had the extra adapters in my pickup.† Mae and I got something to eat and I filled out this journal entry before we went to bed.
Thursday, October 08, 2009
††††††††††††††† We slept in until almost 8AM.† Mae prepared breakfast and so after eating I took care of the animals.† I went over to Dickís and got my boat.† In next went to the bus compound and talked to Roberta about the accident and the fact that security would not help us when we called.† She suggested that I talk to Rosa, so I went to her office and told her what had happened.† She said that she would see that security know about the incident and explained that security did have every person in management at the compoundís home and cell phone numbers.† Anyway it looks like I may have stirred up a hornets nest. But if so I think it needs stirring.† I came home and met with Chad and let him borrow some of my tools and showed him how to install roof shingles.† Mae had lunch ready for me and after eating I went to the bus compound.† I took North Ridge High Schoolís JV football team to Roy High School.† It was really a pathetic contest as North Ridge one 42 to 7 and North Ridge pulled out all their main players for the last half.† Mae was tending Benji and Rachel when I got home as Jeff and Gale needed some time to talk with out the childrenís interruption.† I started on this entry and then went upstairs and visited with Mark as to the changes with Comcast.† I came down and finished this entry and then went to bed after a game on the computer.
Friday, October 09, 2009
††††††††††††††† I got up early to take a special ed. route.† That went ok and the assistant was good to work with.† After the AM route I went into the dispatch area and got on the computer and entered payroll information.† I got home just before Mae was leaving.† She went into Riverdale to the Health Food Store and then went to American Fork to Mike and Beckyís to tend their family.† I fed the animals, got some lunch and set down in the recliner to take a nap.† I had just got to sleep when the Davis North Hospital called concerning Marks account.† I couldnít go back to sleep so went into the compound.† I had extra time so I filled the bus with fuel before I drove the PM route.† When I got back home I ate some dinner, took a shower and went to Bountiful to the viewing of Jacob Park.† Jeff came just as I was ready to go and needed some things of his from our place.† I was late than I had planned getting to the Mortuary and had to stand in a very long line.† I saw and visited with several that I know from the old Ward including Scott.† I stopped at a Kentucky Chicken and got some chicken to eat on the way to Mikes.† I also got some natural gas for my truck.† Driving on the freeway to American Fork I felt like I was driving in the Indianapolis 500 race track.† Drivers are crazy as they drive on the free-ways.† When I got to Mikeís and went in the house I vas very surprised to find Becky there.† They told me that David had been injured in the football game and Mike had taken him to a Dr. Office to be checked.†† A Ĺ hour to 45 minutes Mike brought David home.† He had no broken bones but they werenít sure about ligament damage at this time.† They well have to check more on Monday.† It was quite late when Mike and Becky again left for Park City.†† We were late getting to bed.
Saturday, October 10, 2009
††††††††††††††† Today seemed to go quite fast as we enjoyed tending the family.† I played a game of chess with David.† It was a good game but I won.† I worked for a while on a Walk through Home Inspection Form.† We had brought the DVD entitled ďAkeelah and the BeeĒ with all the family.† This evening Mae and I took the little girls bowling. †We just had Jessie and Mattie play and at the end Jessie won.† After getting the little ones to be Mae and I watched a DVD.† It was an Alfred Hitchcock movie with Jimmy Stewart but we were disappointed with the overall plot.
Sunday, October 11, 2009
††††††††††††††† We slept in until 8AM and then had to hurry to get ready to attend meetings.† We enjoyed the Ward and the meetings had a very good spirit in them.† We ate soon after getting home, in fact the David and Tayler we eating when we got home and they had something for the little girls so they set right down and ate.† It took Mae a few minutes to get us something.† I set down and started to watch a movie the children had on but I soon fell asleep in that.† I woke when Mike and Becky came home.† after they got their things in the house Mike, Becky, David, Taylor, Mae and I played two games of Mormon Bridge.† Mae and I came home after that.† Lois called me and told me that Nola Vance died this morning at 8:30AM.† She has been sick for some time so it is a blessing for her to go.† Lois wasnít sure of the details but she thinks that they will have a viewing Friday evening in the Salt Lake area and a viewing and funeral Saturday in the Rexburg area.† I called and let Roy know; I visited with Bob and let him know when we got home and I tried to let Irven and Sandy know but they werenít home.† I went out after we got home and caught the rooster and put him in an unused rabbit pen and will butcher him tomorrow.† I also checked the rest of the chickens and all of then seem to be laying eggs most of the time.† Mae fixed fruit and toast for us this evening.† I filled in this entry and entered some information on my bus payroll.†
Monday, October 12, 2009
††††††††††††††† I took care of the animals and then called Mrs. Arnold and set an appointment to come over and do the walk through inspection for Jeff, for 1:30PM.† I then butchered our rooster.† After lunch Mae went with me to Arnoldís.† I was there until almost 4PM and after getting home I started typing the walk through report on the computer.† I had several interruptions so didnít finish the report until after mid-night.† Chad returned my tools that I loaned him to shingle the roof of his shed.† He paid me for the use of the tools plus paid for the nails and shingles I sent with him.† We were very tired when we went to bed.
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
††††††††††††††† I got up at 4:30AM so that I could take a field trip.† I was glad that I had given myself extra time for when I got on my assigned bus it was out of fuel.† I field it before leaving and it took 96 gallons of fuel in tanks that hold 100 gallons.† I made it to the school just a couple of minutes late but they were later than that before they were ready to go, so it worked out ok.† I took the kinder garden children to the Aquarium in Salt Lake.† I got home at 12:30PM just as Mae was leaving to go Visiting Teaching.† She had helped Sister Lois Neilson with Family History this morning.† When I got home Mae had lunch ready.† I had just started to eat when Roberta Wilson from the bus shop called and asked if I could take a PM run today.† I asked her when it started and she said 2 minutes ago.† That was a little exaggerated but I just put most of my food back and left.† The runs went pretty good.† Mae had dinner ready when I got home.† After eating I took a shower and got ready to go to the Family History Center.† I wanted some practical experience so I tried to correct some information on Momís record.† After a lot of time and questions I ask Maeís help.† She was unable to help me so I turned to the Help screens.† I couldnít find solutions there so finally called the Help Center.† The Sister on the line worked with me for sometime with out success.†  It worked great but by then it was after 9PM so we closed up and came home.† I entered yesterdays and this journal entry before we went to bed.
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
††††††††††††††† We slept in until 8am and then started getting ready to leave for Zionís National Park.† It was after noon before we got away.† We stopped at Sub-Way for a foot long to eat on the way.† With a couple of stops for gas, rest stop and something to eat, we got to the camp sight 7:30PM.† After getting settled Jeff put on a DVD that Mae had bought on the way down.† It was late when we went to sleep.
Thursday, October 15, 2009
††††††††††††††† We slept fairly well and the furnace kept the trailer fairly comfortable.† Mae and I prepared breakfast of pancakes and eggs.† By the time we had the children get their naps it was almost noon.† We took lunches and went into Zionís on the bus shuttle.† We got of at the Emerald pool trail and hiked to the first pool.† Jeff took Rachael and hiked on to the second pool.† After returning we came back to our camp.† We tried to play some games but didnít get very far into them when the children would need attention.† I am a little concerned about Mae holding the children so much and Rachael just wants to hold onto her all the time.† We set around a campfire this evening and roasted hotdogs and marsh mellows.† Oh, the left ear piece on my glasses broke of today so I am having trouble reading anything.† That includes using my computer as well.
Friday, October 16, 2009
††††††††††††††† After breakfast we got a earlier start and again took the shuttle up the canon and this time took the River Walk to the Narrows.† I got a call from Roberta letting me know that I have a field trip on Wednesday and some of the time has been changed.† It was a very enjoyable day.† This evening we again tried to play some games but little Mathew is really having trouble with colic and take a lot of care.† I cooked Ditch Oven chicken this evening but it took longer to prepare and with little Mathew we were very late eating.† After we finished with dinner we again watched at DVD ďIce AgeĒ.
Saturday, October 17, 2009
††††††††††††††† After breakfast we helped Jeff and Gail get their things packed up and they left for home soon after 12PM.† We took some time getting the tent trailer rearranged and cleaned up.† I shaved and we took a rest.† I took a nap but Mae only rested for a little while.† We went down town Springdale and checked on getting apples at a u-pick, but they wanted 66 cents a lb if you got at least 30 lbs.† We figured that was to expensive.† We decided to go out to eat but the one cafť that was suggested to us was closed when we got there.† The next one we went into was too expensive and the salad bar looked bad.† We checked on a move but again felt that it was to over priced for what you got.† I guess I just donít feel like being ripped off.† We came back to the tent trailer and fixed our own dinner.† We sure enjoyed just hanging out together.
Sunday, October 18, 2009
††††††††††††††† We got up at 7AM.† I checked with the guard gate about staying another night but they are completely booked for today.† We packed up and went to church in the Springdale Ward. †Sister and Brother Fisher were the two main speakers and I was very impressed with there talks and the knowledge they displayed.† The Bishop read a cute letter from a missionary from the Ward and a young deacon was asked to bear his testimony and I was very impressed with him.† After the meeting, as we were leaving, Mae spoke to a couple that were wearing Missionary Badges and found out that it was Beverly Draper from the Sunset 2nd Ward.† We didnít catch her married name.† We left from the meeting and went to Hurrican and found a Sub-Way where we got something to eat.† We drove on home getting there after 9PM.† We did stop at Mike and Beckyís for a little while.
Monday, October 19, 2009
††††††††††††††† I got up shortly after 7AM.† I helped Mae prepare breakfast and then I took care of the animals.† Mae and I went over to Marcie Fairbournís and picked apples.† Marcie had two apple trees that were very heavily loaded and so it didnít take long to pick all the apples we felt that we could use.† We also got some winter pears.† On the way home we went to Roy to see if Standard Optical could repair my glasses.† They couldnít but sent us to Aarons Jewelry to have the frames soldered.† At Aarons I had them also check Maeís wedding bands and we decided to have them repaired.† I also looked at wrist watches and decided to buy one if they could change the band from brown to black leather.† This evening we went out to eat at McGrathís Fish House with Bob and Carroll.† After returning home I worked on the computer bidding for field trips for next week.† I then caught up my journal for the past couple of days.† We also got on line and filled out the registration for the new installation of the Quest dish, High Speed internet and phone service.† There is so much to understand.
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
††††††††††††††† We got up shortly after 8AM.† If it hadnít been for the installation of Qwest today, we would have cuddled back up and gone back to sleep.† By 8:15AM installers were here and I was asking and answering questions.† Mae and I started on apple sauce, along with feeding the animals.† Bob and I emptied old fruit gars so that they could be washed and reused.† About noon I was going to rotor-till the old fruit into the garden but the tiller would not work.† Mark had put two belts on the tiller as it had four pulleys on it.† I had told him that it only took one belt but when he installed two belts, they each put pressure on the other and they had heated and stretched.† I got Bob to go to the service shop and buy another belt for me.† David came at 5:30PM to bring the small trailer back.† I went to the Family History Center this evening and Mae attended the Relief Society Visiting Teaching meeting.† While at the FHC I found that some one is trying to have my mother sealed to Leo.† When I got home Mae helped me find out what is going on and we will send a letter to the one trying to get this done objecting to it being done.† I have got to visit with Irven, Bob and Roy before deciding if this should be done now.† I donít feel good about someone else doing this with out consulting us.† I entered this entry and Mae read e-mails.† The ones between Garrett and Shellie were very enjoyable to get a copy of.† It was after 11PM when we went to bed.
Wednesday, October 21, 2009
††††††††††††††† I got up at 6:30AM and got ready for a field trip.† While I was shaving a call came from the dispatch asking if I would take a bus rout this morning.† I explained that Roberta had me on a field trip and wanted me to leave by 9:30AM.† Sherri decided that I wouldnít be able to do both so to continue with the field trip.† I drove to the Marriot Hotel in Prove where I loaded students and advisors luggage onto my bus.† I separated the luggage by the North schools and the South schools.† I then waited for the 2nd but to come at 2PM and we transferred the South schools luggage to the 2nd bus.† We were then informed that the program would not finish until at least 4PM.† By the time I took the four schools home and returned the bus to the compound and got home it was after 7PM.† Mae was just leaving for the Relief Society Book Group.† I ate and watched a movie.† During the show I entered some of my payroll information.† I then entered this entry before we went to bed.
Thursday, October 22, 2009
††††††††††††††† We slept in this morning and due to that the time went by very fast.† It seemed that it was time for me to leave for my field trip.† I drove the swim team to Highland High in Salt Lake.† After the meet the coach had me take the team a couple of blocks where they ate at some fast food dinners before I took the youth back to Davis High.† It was after 9PM when I returned to the bus compound and went home.† Mae has been busy all day putting up apple sauce.† She was cleaning up when I got home.† I made this entry before we went to bed.
Friday, October 23, 2009
††††††††††††††† I got up at 4:30 am to get into work.† I let Mae sleep in and when I called her after my run she said that she slept until 8AM.† I took bus 88ís regular route, it went well.† After getting home I fed the animals and was going to take a nap but Bob visited with me about Mark so I didnít have time except to eat some lunch and leave.† My afternoon went well also.† Mae didnít get home until almost 6PM so we went out to eat at Golden Corral.† When we got home we watched a movie on DVD ďUltimate GiftĒ and we really enjoyed it.
Saturday, October 24, 2009
††††††††††††††† It was almost 8AM when we got up this morning.† I got a call shortly after 8AM to let me know that the Universal Rental had a dump trailer returned this morning and wondered if I wanted it.† Scott had not called me to let me know what he wants to do with the room downstairs so I told them I would take it.† Mae fixed some quick breakfast and I went up and got the trailer and took it to the Davis County Dumps and bought three scoops, each scoop equaled 1 Ĺ cu. yards, of mulch to put on our garden spot.† Mae, Bob and Mark were out cleaning up the garden when I got back.† I dug up the potatoes while Mark picked them up and put them in the wheel barrel.† Mark and I them spread the mulch onto the garden area plus we put some on the flower beds.† I them returned the trailer to United Rental.† Mae had lunch ready when I returned and then I took a 15 minute nap.† Mae and I then went over to Sister Fairbornís and picked apples.† We picked all the apples that were left on the Delicious Apple tree which was over 4 bushel.† On the way home we stopped at Brother and Sister Caseyís and gave then some potatoes and apples.† When we got home I gathered the eggs and got a chicken that had got out, back into the pen.† Mae prepared something to eat and we watched a movie on DVD ďRescuedĒ.† It was a cute show that was ok.†
Sunday, October 25, 2009
††††††††††††††† I got up at 7:30 AM but my palm said that it was Day Light Saving time.† I turned our computer on to check for sure and it didnít indicate any change in time.† Oh well!† I guess I have had enough sleep.† I prepared breakfast while Mae put up her hair.† I fed the animals before getting ready for meetings.† Chelci sang ďHow Great Thou ArtĒ in our Sacrament meeting with Sandi accompanying her.† The arrangement was not the standard arrangement that is in the Hymn book but much more complicated.† Sandi has been practicing it for several weeks and was very nervous, but she did beautiful.† I told them after that there was one problem with it and that was that I had popped all the buttons off my shirt.† I love that song and wish that I could have them play it at my funeral.† After the meeting they stopped at home long enough to take some apples, potatoes, grapes and a small squash.† They had to hurry home as Chelci had to do more studying for school.† Bob invited us for dinner and it was delicious.† I did take a short nap and then Bob and I went Home Teaching to Patriarch Johnstunís and Sister Fallisís.† it took us a lot longer than I wanted but both were difficult to close.† Mae had eaten by the time I got home so I had some fruit and toast and then filled in this entry.† Mae is busy preparing for a talk she has to give I a couple of weeks.† I had better get to bed as I have to get up about 4:30AM to keep and appointment with Chelci to clean my teeth in the morning.

††††††††††††††† I got up early but let Mae sleep in.† I got to the Salt Lake Community Collage about 7:30AM so I called Mae and had her return my call about 7:55AM.† That way I could sleep for 20 minutes before going in to have Chelci work on my teeth.† Chelci really work on my teeth and the most time was in getting the x-rays.† It was 11:30 AM before she finished and I will need to come back for her to finish up.† When I got home we had some lunch and I lay down and took a nap.† I didnít get much done this afternoon except to take care of the chickens and clean the coop.† Mae and I tried to set the timer but were unsuccessful and finally gave up.† Our printer quite working and after checking on prices it looks like we will just have to buy a new one.† This evening we went over to Scott and Mishelleís for dinner and to celebrate Kaden and Kaitlynís 1st Birthday anniversary.† Mishelleís parents were also there.† Mishelle and Scott had prepared a very nice dinner.† Before leaving I went downstairs and checked a leak in their water softener and found that the case on the timer was cracked.† I will have to check on a replacement.† It was late when we got home and we soon went to bed.

††††††††††††††† We got up with plans to go to Nancy this morning.† I took care of the animals and we had breakfast.† I called to check on the water softener for Scott and we estimate that his is over 30 years old so he will need a new unit.† We were just ready to leave when Nancy called and said that her computer was having problems so she was taking it to Provo for repairs and would not be able to keep her appointments today.† I got on our computer and had some problems getting the internet to respond so I finally called for help and was on line with a technician for over an hour.† He told me that I needed to hook the router to the computer and that would take me a little while so he would call me back.† I did get the router changed to the desktop but the technician never did call me back.† Scott came for lunch and while he was here he checked the computer and the wireless router is now working.† This afternoon I took a nap and then I went on errorns.† I got natural gas and regular gas in the pickup; I stopped at Youngís Chevrolet and got a scamatic of the dash of the pickup.† I also checked on the price of the switch and the cost of labor to install it.† The switch cost $237.00 and $169.00 to have it installed, WHO!† I next stopped at Home Depot and got some help on the timer switch that I had installed for the lights in the chicken coop.† I will try again to set it.† I took a pair of cowboy boots to Rayís shoe repair in Kaysville, then went to Best Buy in Riverdale and bought a new printer as ours quite on us yesterday.† I stopped at Aaronís Jewelry in Roy and picked up my new watch.† Mae had dinner ready when I got home.† We ate and went to the Family History Center.† After returning home I entered this journal entry and we soon went to bed.

††††††††††††††† I got up before 7AM to get things done before going to a Sub-Bus Drivers Round Table.† That lasted from 9:30 to 11:15AM.† I then stayed to take care of some other items.† I stopped on the way home and bought some feed for the animals.† After getting home I took the feed out to the shed and unloaded it.† I got something to eat and while I ate I watched the last of a movie on TV.† I tried to take a nap but Bob called shortly after I got to sleep.† I decided to get the new printer hooked up.† Six hours later and with 2 hours of a Qwest Technician and then 2 hours of help from Scott, we finally got it to print in black and white only.† The colored still doesnít work.† I made this entry before going to bed.† Mae has spent most of the day helping Mishelle with the children and letting her get some rest.† Mae is sending a E-mail off to Erryn Tamís for me concerning sealing ordinances for Mom and Leo.† We then read a letter for Shellie before we went to bed.†

††††††††††††††† Mae and I didnít sleep to well last night.† I was concerned about the water softener for Scottís home.† I donít feel very good at trying to get it to do until after Christmas.† Mae went over to help Mishelle with the children and to attend a Halloween Parade at Kylan and Ashleyís school.† I took care of the animals and tried to reset the light program but still couldnít get it set.† I called Best Buy and told them about the trouble I am having with the printer that I just bought and they want me to return it and if they canít find the trouble they will give me another one.† Now it is just finding time to take it back.† Mae came back for Mishelleís just in time to go help Sister Marie McEntire with the New Family Search program.† I tried to take a nap and did get to sleep for a few minutes when Sandy called and had a question about the possibility of Kristine remarrying and possibility even marring in the Temple.† I told her my thoughts on it and she felt ok with that.† Mae got home in time to fix me some lunch before I left to take a field trip.† Mae is going to attend the Temple tonight as it is our Stakeís Temple Night before Stake Conference.† I would have liked to attended with her.† I took the Swim Team from North Ridge High to Bear River High in Garland.† I was assigned bus #348 and it was really a nice bus.† It was a good experience with the youth and the bus.† I didnít get back to the compound and finished with the bus until 9:35PM.† Mae had just got home.† I entered my journal and we went to bed.

††††††††††††††† I had recertification training today at the bus compound.† It is a State Law that all bus drivers take this course yearly or they will not be able to continue to drive.† It was ok but a lot was redundant information but I guess necessary.† It does upset me that we are given certain things that must be done, yet there are many drivers that do not do them.† Mea had put clothing and food together for us to go out to Sandiís.† When I finished the class and got home we got things put into the truck and left.† We took the pickup because I also took some tools and ladders so that I could hang some chandeliers for Sandi.† This evening Sandi had invited all the family to attend a Halloween Party.† Everyone was asked to wear costumes to the party.† Sandi had rented the club house at Tooele Army Depot to hold the party.† Sandi had Chelci and JaNae help and it was really a nice evening.† After the party Mae and I went back to Sandi and Nicks where we stayed over night.† Before going to bed we had a game of marbles and Nick and I won.

††††††††††††††† We slept in and when we got up Nick had prepared breakfast of scrambled eggs and sautťed vegetables with mushrooms.† After breakfast I started hanging the chandeliers.† Sandi and Mae helped me unpackaged and assemble the chandeliers.† Nick went to the store and purchased light bulbs for the chandeliers and then when we had to use my saw horses to assemble some stair scaffolding and put my ladder on it to get me high enough to hang the chandelier, Nick insisted on holding to the ladder so that there was no chance that the ladder would slip.† It all went well and we completed the job.† Sandi and Nick thanked me for doing it several times before we left for home.† After getting home I went out and fed the animals.† Bob had fed them this morning.† Mae helped me and I think we were able to get the lighting timer set correctly.† This evening Mae and I watched a couple of movies, one on TV and the other on CD.
