October 24 2016: Parents, students, and teachers are tired of having no decision making power in their own school district. So it was a packed house at the Legler Library on Chicago’s West Side
for a strategy meeting to plan how to get a bill for an Elected Representative School Board through the Illinois Legislature.
Chicago is the only place in Illinois that does not have an elected school board. Since the school board in Chicago is selected by the Mayor,that is sometimes called mayoral control. But that is really a misnomer. Mayor Emanuel represents the wealthy financial and corporate interests who dominate politics in the city and the state. Mayoral control is really corporate control.
Corporate control has brought us mismanagement and financial scandal. It has brought us high stakes testing and poorly conceived curricula. It has meant school closings, privatization, teacher overwork, and and general demoralization throughout the system. That is is why Chicago voters have voted for an elected school board in two non-binding referenda.
The Chicago school population is made up overwhelmingly of Black, Latino and other youth of color, many them living in poverty. The failures of corporate control are profoundly racist and insult to the people of the city.
Excess information. Difficult situation, problems. Anxiety, stress, depression, loss of cortrol. Woman clasped head in hands. Throbbing splitting headache. Overwork, work too hard
Cleaned and cleaned
the house some more.
One mis-step and
the next thing you know
there was a broom through her neck.

For FGR: Death to...
The Tsushima-class Frigate is a holdover from before the formation of the Nipponi Empire. While cutting-edge in its time, now its only redeeming quality is the large number of them in reserve. Originally classified as a heavy destroyer, modern systems have so outclassed it as to justify a reclassification.
While its heavy laser cannons are powerful, they are very slow to recharge, unreliable and due to using antique liquid-chemical reaction chambers are unfortunately prone to unplanned rapid kinetic self-dissasemblies. Plans to upgrade the Tsushimas' systems were scrapped by the Imperial Naval Board when it was recognised that the cost would be more than it took to buy newer Flechette-class destroyers.
Tsushimas are best known for being cheap, aging vessels, usually falling apart from poor maintenance and using antiquated systems well past their shelf life, barely kept running by the sweat and desperate prayers (not to mention curses) of their harassed and overworked engineers.
Thankfully, Tsushima frigates are quite rare nowadays, mostly due to the Imperial-Consortium war of 2305. When the Harpes Consortium laid siege to Arthur IV in order to secure preferential trade taxes, the Emperor angrily demanded that the Imperial Fleet respond with maximum force. The Imperial Council tried to reason that Arthur IV was poor, minor colony, and that the siege was undoubtedly costing the Harpes Consortium far too much to sustain for long, but it was overruled by the Throne.
Being commited to military action, the Council decided to kill two birds with one stone. The rusting fleet of Tsushima-class frigates had long been an enormous drain on the Imperial coffers. Forced by the Emperor into sending a naval task force, the size and composition of said task force was left to the Council's discretion.
Every single Tsushima, no matter its state of disrepair or how understaffed, was assembled into the 2nd Imperial Squadron. Put under the command of the eccentric but competent Admiral Rodensky to give the appearance that the Council were ardent suppporters of the Emperor's decision, the fleet was sent to the far edges of Imperial space to relieve Arthur IV.
The journey to the besieged planet was an ordeal all in itself. With his ancient fleet frequently breaking down and his consripted sailors showing poor discipline, Adm. Rodensky was infuriated at the poor judgment of his superiors. No less than a dozen Tsushimas were deemed "totally irrepairable" by the Admiral and launched into the nearby suns, their crews parceled out among the fleet to alleviate manpower shortages.
Despite the various breakdowns, mutinies, diseases, training accidents and supply problems, the 2nd squadron nonetheless made it to Arthur IV, where it suffered one of the most crushing, one-sided defeats in galactic history.
The huge fleet of over two hundred vessels was virtually annihilated by the Harpes Consortium ships. Only a small number (including the Admiral's) managed to escape. They inflicted negligible casualties among the corporate vessels, and, it goas without saying, totally failed in their goal to lift the siege. Ironically, the Harpes Consortium gave up their claims soon after the battle, being unable to sustain the cost of the siege.
The legacy of the Tsushima-class frigate is tragic indeed.
"I would be better off instructing them each to ram the enemy... but I doubt they would be capable even of that!" -- Admiral Rodensky, on seeing his new command of the 2nd Squadron.
This one's grabbed from the phone, running live.
99% there. OK, from a pure 'lines of code' perspective we've been 99% there since January, but now is no time for pedantry. You all know what I mean.
New features for today -
1) in chord mode the volume is automatically halved for the chord pads, which stops them overpowering the keyboard notes.
2) Preferences and programmed chords are persistent. Finally! It boots where you left it, as far as it can - voices, modes (chord mode or note, C or F etc). And a fresh installation sets up the diatonic triads rooted at C. Poptastic!
3) Cute new 'floppy disk' button to save preferences. As illustrated.
4) Stereo! Chords and upper keyboard are panned left, lower keyboard panned right
5) Unwanted new feature - sticking keys if you play at Keith Emerson speed (i.e. whip your finger over the keyboard in a Crazy Horses stylee) - I fear this is a side effect of the declick implementation I worked on yesterday, if so it will take deep digging into the hard real-time thread that powers the sample playback ... or specifically, the input buffer management of the hard real-time thread, which is (somewhat peculiarly!) where the declick hack lives. Oh well, you can't win 'em all, there's always one more bug. Particularly when you are not quite sure why yesterday's 'fix' worked at all .... I hate it when there's no such thing as a free lunch.
To do before it hits the shops -
1) Implement some response to the 'Information' button!
2) Fix the sticky notes
3) One last pass over all the voices to listen for clicks or weirdness at the loop transitions, and to check for volume balance across voices
And then we will submit, and circulate to the Ad Hoc team. And any feedback from the Ad Hoc United will go into a minor release after 1.2.
Hopefully less than 2 days to go. Because, let's face it, the world needs this!
UPDATE : version 1.1 just entered the store. This took over 2 weeks, which is painful. Just shows how many refreshed 99c fart apps the poor overworked quality guys at Apple are having to deal with ... they so need to fix their process!
This poor overworked UPS driver decides to take a hard earned nap and Southwark Council issue him with a Parking Ticket. Aren't the DoT always telling us to rest up on the road if we're tired?
i'm exhausted and losing apetite... this is porridge i made as bento, but i felt somewhat dizzy and fell down from stairs this morning - and finally decided to take a half-day off from the office. it's (relatively) okay to drop & lose my wallet or the room key, but i don't dare drop myself from more dangerous place and lose my life :( i've been working really hard for the event on sunday. it's a few more days to go, anyway!
Charcoal on paper I struggled with this one and ended up overworking it all! The nose was of particular difficulty to me-not sure why, but oh well some days are easier than others. Anna is so beautiful, and I hope she is ok with this one.
The Russian Chapel at Vršič (Slovenian: Ruska kapela na Vršiču) is a Russian Orthodox chapel located on the high Vršič pass in northwestern Slovenia. It was built by Russian prisoners of war engaged in forced labor in the area during World War I.
In early 1915, the small town of Kranjska Gora was suddenly rendered strategically important by its proximity to the Isonzo Front. In order to ease access to the front, the Austro-Hungarian authorities ordered the construction of a military road across Vršič, a 1611 m pass between the Sava and Soča river valleys, to be built by Russian POWs.
The road was begun in May 1915, and was completed by the end of the year. To ensure an uninterrupted supply of materiel to the front lines, the pass was to be kept traversable year-round, and the POWs were made to clear the road of heavy snowfall. On 8 or 12 March 1916 (sources vary), an avalanche of snow buried a POW work camp, killing approximately 300 prisoners and about 10 guards. Exact casualty figures were never determined, either for the victims of the avalanche of for those of the brutal overwork and appalling conditions.
The Russian camp was located roughly halfway up the slope of Vršic. Between 1916 - 1917, the remaining prisoners built a small wooden memorial chapel. The building is of typical Russian design, with two small towers on either side of the nave, and is surrounded by prisoners' graves and a pyramid-shaped memorial marker.
The chapel was renovated in 2005, at a cost of 90,000 €, and serves as both a war memorial and a symbolic link between Slovenia and Russia. The pass road was renamed to Ruska cesta ("Russian Road") in July 2006.
A Photo A Day For A Year
Day 156
the air conditioner waited
until June to die, one last
grand gesture of spite for
being overworked
and I’d like to get angry
with him but there’s at least a part
of me that wishes I
had the same
testicular
fortitude
as he
did.
sleep waged its nightly war
with me and won a clear
and decisive victory
as the warm air wafted
in and out of a fan
only circulating it
and not quite cooling
anything down, I tossed
and I turned and I
stared at the ceiling
for what must have
been entire
centuries
inside,
territories became countries
and countries became empires
the great rise and fall of
civilization kept in step
with the inflation and
deflation of my lungs
ribcage and
spirit.
the morning alarm was the first bomb
and humidity was the second
third, and fourth; I got my coffee,
picked up my check, paid my bills,
and was left penniless, overheated,
and destitute all over again
just another turn around
the sun, just another
stroll against the
times, it’s part of
the gig, part of
the grind, parts
of parts of parts
of parts
I look down at my hands and they
suddenly resemble my father’s
only less steady and
reliable
he did this same grind and
continues it to this day
and he has never once
felt the urge to put pen
to paper to bitch about it
and yet here i am,
doing that
because i could
once again
afford to pay
my bills on
time.
that’s our biggest difference;
he works because he believes
it is what a man does
there is no shade of gray
no looming shadow like
a harbinger of rough fate
you do it because
you’re supposed to do it
and that’s it.
I envy that mentality
because i work, not
out of desire or because
i was mandated by the
gods to waste my
precious
time
I do it because
at some point
I became everything
I once rallied
against;
Not having plays
second fiddle to
working on
nothing.
it’s all part of the grind
parts of parts
of parts of
parts.

(A continuing photo story about a raft trip down the Yampa River many years ago.)
Failed Feminist Cowers On a River Bank:
River rafts carry high quality ice chests to provide abundant fresh food. But on this big trip after a delicious dinner I noticed something.
Hot water was provided in a couple of buckets and people were invited to wash their own personal utensils. Standard practice. Except that the cook crew, perhaps overworked, was allowing those buckets of hot water to cool.
I told my three kids to NEVER use those cold soupy buckets. They were to wipe out their cups and spoons and go to the river to rinse them.
Sure enough, on the third day of the trip, more than 60 people were wan and miserable with “24 hour stomach flu.”
A delegation of several very authoritative men, all MDs, caught me sitting on the river bank. They stared down at me sternly, only a little wanly, asking why the Williams family didn’t get sick.
I’ve cooked on more than one guided wilderness hike or horse pack trip. I wanted to talk to the kitchen crew, not rat them out. So I shrugged and cowered to show my humility. And I mumbled something vague. The Important Men accepted my response immediately. You couldn’t expect more from a woman.
I’m ashamed to confess this, but remember it was 55 years ago.

This one was done with Graphitints on 140 pound hot press paper. It's the first time I've used them and it was very difficult for me. I'm not used to having the graphite shine . Also, I found it hard to control and it seemed that I got fewer values. Kate, I think my branches look kind of wimpy, and the brown leaves at the top got muddy. Overworked? I'm glad I tried them -- new horizons, right!

On the occasion of the demolition of the Domino Sugar Refining Plant, Creative Time presented a large scale public project by Kara Walker. A Subtlety or the Marvelous Sugar Baby is a massive, sugar-coated sphinx-like woman - "A homage to the unpaid and overworked artisans who have refined our wweet tastes from the cane fields to the kitchens of the New World."
The exhibit was from May 10 to July 6, and I was able to visit it on 06.29.14.
Orange-crowned Warbler (Oreothlypis celata)
Rithet's Bog,Saanich, BC
This little warbler had a nice earwig to feed to her baby, and baby was waiting for it. But the baby "warbler" that got fed the bug was almost twice the size of its "mother": a Cowbird! This poor overworked warbler had been tricked into raising a a bird from an egg she did not lay. Cowbirds lay their eggs in other bird's nests, and don't seem to care about differences in size. They also sometimes push the host bird's eggs out of the nest, leaving her with only the Cowbird egg to hatch. Why the warbler didn't figure out that the Cowbird could not possibly be her baby is a mystery. She fed it several bugs in the half-hour I watched them. What I am wondering now is, does the Cowbird think it is a warbler? If so, how will it find a mate?
Week 11 in my ArtJournal Project 52 class. This is a perfect example of not knowing when to quit. i completely overworked the color and totally dislike this page. but live and learn.

Crianças, não façam overwork! Vão ficar malucas que nem eu! :P
This is a weird little figure that looks like an R&W Berries, but was made by the C.M. Paula Company in 1986. It features an overworked man at a desk stacked high with papers. The text on the front reads "Somebody ought to invent a desk that flushes." Think about that for a minute.
after 3 days of workin on the paper & studying for marketing exams,
i could hardly be bothered to take my selfie, but i did ;-)
Its almost winter break!

This site was emotionally difficult, but it is important to bear witness and educate. Genocide has repeated itself many times and history and goes on TODAY at this very moment. What are we doing about it?
1.7 - 3.5 Million people died from disease, overwork, and starvation. This number also include the 1.38 million people that were cruelly tortured and coldly executed in the genocide commited in Cambodia over the 4 year period of 1975-79.
The killing fields are the site of the mass graves men, women and children that were brought from the torture center at S-21 Tuol Sleng prison.
Trigger points are tiny knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. They are defined as localized areas in which the muscle and connective tissue are highly sensitive to pain when compressed, For more details visit us at Lockeroomsports.com
Labradorite is used for protection, renewal of energy for those who overwork, keeping the aura clear, and also for revealing hidden talents or psychic gifts. It is known as the Old Warrior's Stone as it is believed to give old souls new energy. It is also known as the 'illusion killer', as it helps us to see the true shape of our intentions.
The TV series is set in the Cambridgeshire village of Grantchester during the 1950s, Anglican vicar and former Scots Guards officer Sidney Chambers, and subsequently his successor Will Davenport, work with the overworked Detective Inspector Geordie Keating to forge an unlikely partnership in solving crimes.
The oldest part of the church – the chancel – dates from the 14th century, the nave and tower are 15th century, whilst the south aisle was added in the 1870s. The font is believed to be Norman, and the 17th century pulpit probably came from the chapel of Corpus Christi College.
Somebody left a vase of slightly wilted but still colourful flowers in my office and somebody else left a set of watercolour marker pens, so I took the opportunity to grab a quick sketch after work.
I used a water brush pen (of my own) to blend the colours.
I think this medium has a lot of potential for subjects like this, although I'd need to be a bit more careful about overworking areas of the drawing. I think at some point I might invest in a set of watercolour markers (assuming whoever left the other ones comes back to claim them!).
Lifes pathways littered with many a potential flaw,
fraught with difficulties,
earning an honest living,
good citizen looking after her family,
work hard for bread and country daily,
despite adversity continue striving,
send children to school and pay the school fees,
pray that all shall be equal before the law.

A few quickly taken shots of the phantasmagoric Wat Rong Khun near Chiang Rai, Thailand. The temple is white, with some gold and naturally reflected colours. It is the brainchild of Thai artist Chaloemchai Khositphiphat and his overworking imagination. Attention to detail is incredible but it does strike me as being the product of a talented fantasy-loving teenager.

I couldn't take another step after our big photo session on Thursday and now she has me starring in ANOTHER FILM (will be released this weekend)! I just want to watch tv and eat burgers, but noooooooooooo
Sympathy anyone??
busy busy busy busy.
I am already getting a tad overworked.
The realization has hit me that, yeah, maybe I need to drop a class.
