grawk Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I'd just hate that. One advantage of not having a driveway. eh, it's not bad exercise.
aardvark baguette Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) So the 3rd party vendor that maintains the encrypted members-only section of our societies has made repeated incremental updates (read "changes") to the folder hierarchies on our sites, topping it all off with a migration to a subdirectory. Of course all of my navigation links are now out of date and going to unencrypted portions of the site that were left to rot or some such. Proprietary PDFs and various documents from presentations from industry / education VIPs just fucking sitting there. Jiggity diggity hippity fucking goddamn motherfucking cunt raping christ. I will rape with overtime this weekend. Edited January 21, 2011 by aardvark baguette
mypasswordis Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Don't forget to pillage. Just checked out some Heifetz vids, specifically his bow hand. It's pretty much all the way at the frog but he angles his hand sharply forward so the pinky almost never touches the bow.
boomana Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 It's been a crazy week at work with our family workshop program in full swing coinciding with our every-three year C.A.R.F. accreditation survey. The survey is a fairly rigorous process with invading surveyors inspecting and covering everything from policies and procedures to chart reviews, from facility maintenance inspections to staff and patient interviews, etc. It ended today. Of the 1152 standards covered, we received only one partial recommendation for improvement, which had to do with how we document the dates on patients transitioning between levels, and three suggestions To have not even one full recommendation is basically unheard of, and means we totally rocked it. At 3PM today, we had a retirement party for a staff member who as worked there for 15 years. He is the only person to have ever retired from my place of employment. Everyone else, other than a handful remaining who have worked there as long, have been fired or quit. I can't even remember most of their names. It's a tough place to work, and the expectations are demanding. Today was just one of those days that made me proud to be part of a team that does what we do as well as we do it.
shellylh Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 went out to a mediocre dinner, and then apparently broke up with my girlfriend
Fitz Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 worked very little, due to network issues, went out to a mediocre dinner, and then apparently broke up with my girlfriend. a really fantastic day, all around. i broke uip with a girl almost a decade ago, now im not into girls, be careful mate
Knuckledragger Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Phew. Long day is loooooooong. I just checked in on mum and she seems to be doing well. I have a nurse friend coming out from Boston tomorrow. Right now, in spite of the fact that I SHOULD BE IN BED, I'm doing my radio show for the first time in 2011.
luvdunhill Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Don't forget to pillage. Just checked out some Heifetz vids, specifically his bow hand. It's pretty much all the way at the frog but he angles his hand sharply forward so the pinky almost never touches the bow. see.... Did you ever see him use the last 4-5 inches of the bow? I cannot find the mystery Bach sheet music now. I think I'm going insane. It's not as pronounced as I though, but as I understand it, this is the Russian method, but with more slant towards the wrapping. some other pics Edited January 22, 2011 by luvdunhill
luvdunhill Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 maybe this link would be interesting? I think the Auer style is the same as the Russian style: http://dspace.uta.edu/bitstream/handle/10106/128/umi-uta-1292.pdf?sequence=1
mypasswordis Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 I think he does, check this vid out: That's pretty much as close to the frog as anyone would go. From what I understand though there are technically the different schools (Russian and Franco-Belgian being the main two) it gets very iffy in regards to "styles" and it's more like just whatever worked for each individual, since everyone plays somewhat differently. I was taught in the beginning to always keep my pinky on the bow. It's great as a counter-balance but sometimes there's too much of it and gets in the way of using your arm weight to produce a tone, something that I was later taught. And now I realize Heifetz doesn't even use it most of the time... I definitely knew he did that for the Hora Staccato and thought that was his way of doing the up and down bow staccatos but I guess it turns out the bow grip was always the same.
skullguise Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Took my 12-year old son out shopping for an Xbox 360 (250G) / K'nect / XBox Live year membership. Came home, set it up, connected, and I will not see him again for months... The nice part is, though, that he saved up the $ and is paying for half the hardware, and the full year membership to Live. Reks: sorry to hear about the day, unless you're truly good with the breakup; even if best, never easy. I know a few Jewish Yenta's if you want to meet a "nice girl"
Salt Peanuts Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Took my 12-year old son out shopping for an Xbox 360 (250G) / K'nect / XBox Live year membership. Came home, set it up, connected, and I will not see him again for months... Funny. I'm sure he's hoping for yet another snow day come this Tue/Wed/Thu.
shellylh Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Got our new refrigerator installed (after over two weeks of waiting)!!!
boomana Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Nice fridge, Shelly! Went out to breakfast with my dad at 6AM, went to spinning class, went to the tailor to get two dresses and two pants hemmed, went shopping with my mom at Target and bought a cardigan for $10, went out to lunch, and am now doing laundry. Yay Saturdays.
Augsburger Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Congrats to the end of refridgerator waiting Shelly. Oooohhhhh, nice and stainless steelish too!
Aimless1 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Got about 6 inches of snow today. Waited for it to stop snowing, went out to blow off the driveway and three young lads in their teens came up the driveway asking if they could shovel it for me. How much? $10. I let them do it. Did such a nice job I gave them $15. Rest of the day spent with my wife and listening to music. Good day to stay inside. Garbage disposal just died. Congrats on the new reefer Shelly.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 that's a nice one. how much beer will it hold?A lot! that's a good answer!
Grahame Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Spent they day enjoying the weather in Sonoma. Started off with with brunch at the creekside cafe. Bacon was involved I'm pleased to say. Then off for a pleasant walk up the Sonoma Overlook Trail Not a bad view from the top. Then strolled around the town square. Not too shabby.
NightWoundsTime Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Started the first real night of the chicken delivery job. Worked 7-4AM, hauled a little over $11 an hour (minus gas). Not a great start but there is a learning curve due to the psychopaths who design apartment complexes here. Everything laid out at crazy angles and on curvy roads and nothing clearly marked. Probably wasted over an hour just driving around slowly trying to figure out which building to go to. Bad news is that the tiny brake squeak I've been ignoring turned into a lot more over the 100 miles I drove tonight. Going to have to stay up and get my car into Tire Kingdom (blech!) at 8 AM where hopefully they'll fix me up before I Have to work again at 5 PM. Hopefully the rotors are ok.

The Monkey Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Went to Soul Cycle first thing this morning. Now I can drink beer and watch football all day with impunity.
aardvark baguette Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Upgraded netflix subscription to 4 dvds at a time. In a completely unrelated note, also purchased the WinX DVD ripper program.
