An engineer story
A toothpaste factory had a problem. They sometimes shipped empty boxes without the tube inside. This challenged their perceived quality with the buyers and distributors. Understanding how important the relationship with them was, the CEO of the company assembled his top people. They decided to hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem. The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated, RFP, and third-parties selected. Six months (and $8 million) later they had a fantastic solutution – on time, on budget, and high quality. Everyone in the project was pleased.
They solved the problem by using a high-tech precision scale that would sound a bell and flash lights whenever a toothpaste box weighed less than it should. The line would stop, someone would walk over, remove the defective box, and then press another button to re-start the line. As a result of the new package monitoring process, no empty boxes were being shipped out of the factory.
With no more customer complaints, the CEO felt the $8 million was well spent. He then reviewed the line statistics report and discovered the number of empty boxes picked up by the scale in the first week was consistent with projections, however, the next three weeks were zero! The estimated rate should have been at least a dozen boxes a day. He had the engineers check the equipment, they verified the report as accurate.
Puzzled, the CEO traveled down to the factory, viewed the part of the line where the precision scale was installed, and observed just ahead of the new $8 million dollar solution sat a $20 desk fan blowing the empty boxes off the belt and into a bin. He asked the line supervisor what that was about.
“Oh, that,” the supervisor replied, “Bert, the kid from maintenance, put it there because he was tired of walking over every time the bell rang.” -

Ted Cruz:“I made promises to the people of Texas that I would come to Washington to shake up the status quo,” he said in e-mailed answers to questions, in lieu of speaking. “That is what I intend to do, and it is what I have done in every way possible in the responsibilities that have been granted to me.”
McCain and Graham:
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said that some of the demands Mr. Cruz made of Mr. Hagel were “out of bounds, quite frankly.” Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, issued a public rebuke after Mr. Cruz suggested, with no evidence, that Mr. Hagel had accepted honorariums from North Korea.
“All I can say is that the appropriate way to treat Senator Hagel is to be as tough as you want to be, but don’t be disrespectful or malign his character,” Mr. McCain said in an interview. -

Today is a tough day around the Oletimer house. Excuse me for making a long post, but I need to express my feelings. “Doc” Sidney Berger, former head of UH School of Theatre and Dance died yesterday. He was one of two mentors for Reesa, the other being Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Lanford Wilson, who died in 2011. They both became close personal friends of ours.
Reesa will be coming down from New York to give a eulogy for “Doc”, as she did for Lanford in both New York and Los Angeles when he passed.
Here is “Doc’s” obit:
Former head of UH School of Theatre and Dance dead at 77
By Everett Evans | February 15, 2013 | Updated: February 15, 2013 5:31pm(For the Chronicle/Gary Fountain, February 13, 2009) Sidney Berger, director of “At Home at the Zoo” by Edward Albee.

Sidney Berger, longtime director of the University of Houston School of Theatre and Dance, died Friday at Kingwood Medical Center after a brief illness.
Berger, 77, also was the founder and longtime artistic director of the Houston Shakespeare Festival, which presents two free productions at Miller Outdoor Theatre each summer.
When Berger retired as director of the school in 2007, Steve Wallace, his successor, requested that Berger continue as producing artistic director of the festival for three more years. Berger retired from that position in 2010.
Noted for his teaching and directing skills, Berger attracted national and even international attention to the theater school by importing celebrated theater artists as professors, including playwrights Edward Albee and Lanford Wilson, director Jose Quintero and producer Stuart Ostrow.
He also brought award-winning writers, including “Fiddler on the Roof” composer Jerry Bock and “Barnum” librettist Mark Bramble, to create new musicals for the university’s Children’s Theatre Festival.
Besides directing one of the festival productions every summer from 1975 to 2010, Berger also directed productions at other theaters, including the Alley Theatre and Stages Repertory Theatre.
Berger is survived by his wife, Sandra Berger, and son Eric Berger.And here is a pic of he and Lanford together:

Here is Reesa’s eulogy for Lanford:From March 2011
Lanford Wilson LA Memorial (LA)
Here’s some more history that you may or may not know about me: Lanford Wilson was my mentor. I met him back in 2004, at the University of Houston, where he was filling in for Edward Albee. Over the next 3 years, I was lucky enough to be allowed to direct under his guidance in a new play workshop. The friendship that we developed over the course of our work together continued until the day he died, March 24, 2011. Yesterday, October 29, 2011, I spoke, for the second memorial service, in his honor. Please forgive this blog for being a little less focused and organized than my normal blogs are, I am still trying to sort through things on this end.
I was lucky enough to stand on a stage with some of the most talented and successful artists that I know of, and share the life of the same man, drawn together by the love of and for a man who was a luminary in his own right. And more than a luminary, he was my friend, and the friend of many other artists; he helped and guided so many people along the way. I have been twice blessed to be part of an ensemble of individuals using their talents to honor this man
For my own part, I said the following words:
Memories flood my brain, and I can only say I wish I had more. My memories of him start where, I’m sure, others start. With a cigarette – ours on the smoking benches at the University of Houston. I remember the first time I met him. I think the first he said to me was “It’s so fucking hot. How can you stand it?” It wasn’t until several days later that I learned I had met “Lanford Wilson, Pulitzer prize winning play write” I met the friendly, if slightly grumpy, older man on the bench, smoking a cigarette – and hey, he had a lighter, which, anyone who knew me then can attest, I never managed to have. And thus, an unlikely friendship was born.
My memories of us on those benches are some of the clearest of my life, memories of ideas, and thoughts – of being late to class to have one more cigarette, one more conversation with Lanford – somehow already unconsciously aware of how much he had, would have, and will continue to have a hand in my making.
Some of the most important things he taught me on those benches, and in theatres, and coffee shops, and rehearsal rooms:
Focus on the story. Focus on the character. Tell the story. Create the characters. Create a space that your actors can work. Create space.
People don’t think before they talk, the think while they talk. Take the air out of the lines.
Everything is either stupid or genius. If it’s stupid, keep working till it’s genius. If it’s genius, then well done there.
What do I owe, and to whom?
Get yourself to NYC while you’re young and stupid enough to do it, but when you’re old enough to know what to do.
Don’t give up, the world needs us.
The thing that amazed me the most about him is that he did it all with a sense of wonder, he could never quite seem to believe that whatever happened had happened. And his unfailing honesty – he never held anything back. When Lanford had an opinion, you knew it. He wasn’t shy about telling you the truth – the good, the bad, or the ugly.
How do I put into words how much the man meant to me? How do I codify what I’m feeling or how conversations we had will stay with me, and keep me moving towards my dreams, step by step, just like he told me I should.
Lanford had an amazing ability to give and create space – to live, to breathe, to create, to be – and for the lucky few, we were able to see this both in and out of the theatre. In part, this knack was a demonstration of his willingness to help those around him.
My first day back at school after my best friend’s death was rough for me. Lanford found me that day, at the benches, probably looking for a lighter. He sat down next to me, patted my knee, and said. “I heard what happened. I don’t want to talk about it, it’s just too sad. Let’s talk about something else. Like that tree there –it’s growing its leaves back. I bet that means my garden is starting to open.” And just like that, in those few words, created space for me to take the first breath I had taken all day.
I wish I could give words like that to you. Something wise and beautiful and simple to hold onto during this time. But I am not as skilled as he was. He was, after all, a man of words.
A man of words reduced to these few from those he left behind, of words in thoughts and memories, in our minds hearts and on our lips. It is in times like these that I look to the words of those before me, to comfort and guide, to let me know that I am not alone, that we are not alone. I think that his words say it the best this time:
I don’t want to talk about it, it’s just too sad. Let’s talk about something else. Like that tree there–it’s growing its leaves back. I bet that means my garden is starting to open.Reesa’s Blog:

Nippy good morning Hamsters. Bright and beautiful 34 just after Sunrise out here on the moors across the Brazos frm Richmond. A surprise it went that low since it was overcast when we went to bed last night. But then this is Winter inTexas when just about anything can happen. Still too early for any Spring plantings unless they are sheltered.
#17 Tedtam from yesterday regarding State Farm likely fleeing Illinois for Dallas and Atlanta.
Reading through the comments on that is fascinating in the warnings of liberal pollution by newcomers from liberal states, with Colorado as the prime example. The arguments that the majority fleeing the uber-liberal states–CA, IL, NJ, NY–with crumbling economies will be conservatives first and foremost rather than liberals leading the charge out are compelling as well. There are numerous Texans and former Texans commenting.
Am thinking a key question is will the fact that Texas is a state of mind as well as a place
outweigh and smother a liberal influx? Presuming more conservatives come first and we native and naturalized Texans do not yield our values, our numbers will remain far greater than the libs. Was Colorado a state of mind as well as a place before the liberal invasion?
The Republic of Texas that was remains alive in the cultural memory. The “Come And Take It” mindset lives. That is potent. Having been to Alaska, it is apparent to me its people are our kindred spirits. Haven’t been anywhere else in the country that comes close any more, which is not to say that the grassroots groundswell that gave us 2010 isn’t still passionate, growing, and doubling down everywhere. It is. The Chick-fil-A effect has not gone away. And that and Ted Cruz scare the living daylights out of the Noo Yawk Times and the rest of the liberals. -

Thanks to agressive redistricting (actually playing the libs game against them), the many 70% plus conservative districts give us quite a cushion agin an invasion, and what does it matter if they move into a SJL district? 😀

A look at the largest Texas counties where people have been fleeing from “progressive” oppression in large numbers over the last 30 years may give us a clue. Harris, Dallas, Travis, El Paso, and Bexar counties all voted for Bronco Bomma in the last two presidential elections. Evidence suggests they’re bringing their “progressive” proclivities with them.
-
Perhaps if the move into SJL’s district, they’ll finally come to their senses. Being in proximity to that black hole of ignorance will either suck them further into idiocy or bring them to their senses.
Am trying to take it easy on the back today. I tackled Mirkwood’s weedy end yesterday, trying to discourage this year’s batch of ragweed, at least in part. I thought I was doing well enough to enjoy the outside a bit. It seems I enjoyed it a little too much.
I’m not made invalid, as I was a week ago, but I am certainly feeling some strain. Back to the ice and ibuprofen.
And my dirt pile mocks me through the windows. I can hear it laughing.
Damn dirt. -
I have seen those reservoir balls before, on a show on channel 8. They are being used somewhere in the northeast, I believe, to reduce evaporation and provide more water for the city to use.

Tens of thousands of Americans who cannot get health insurance because of preexisting medical problems will be blocked from a program designed to help them because funding is running low.
Obama administration officials said Friday that the state-based “high-risk pools” set up under the 2010 health-care law will be closed to new applicants as soon as Saturday and no later than March 2, depending on the state.
But they stressed that coverage for about 100,000 people who are now enrolled in the high-risk pools will not be affected.
“We’re being very careful stewards of the money that has been appropriated to us and we wanted to balance our desire to maximize the number of people who can gain from this program while making sure people who are in the program have coverage,” said Gary Cohen, director of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight. “This was the most prudent step for us to take at this point in time.”This is the first attempt at prudence from this administration. i think I shall faint.

#21 TT: Problems like this reduce the credibility of the story. I believe the story happened as reported except for this one glaring inconsistency:
The landlord could not break up the fight, so he grabbed his shotgun and shot Stell in the torso. Incredibly, Stell still stormed toward the landlord, forcing him to shoot the attacker again.
Lt. Britt Snyder told local news it was good the landlord was armed.
“He certainly would have been no match for a man that’s 40 years younger than him,” said Snyder. “Having taken action with a handgun may have prevented a possible murder, maybe the murder of both of them. We don’t know.”Was it a shotgun or a handgun, we may never know. . . . .

#23 Sarge: The point is to fight with everything possible in the congress to stop each and every one of these absurd new laws, including suing on 2nd amendment grounds, if they should pass. Make the feds enforce the laws on the books first, and punish with jail time those in the govt who violate the laws on the books, LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN FAST AND FURIOUS AND ITS CLONES.

I’m watching an old episode of “Emergency!” A little black boy falls down in front of a car driven by a white lady who swears she didn’t hit the kid. The little boy is just laying on the ground. Paramedics arrive and find that he’s not breathing because of a wad of chewing gum, which they remove. The young boy is give oxygen, his scraped elbow is bandaged, and right about then the mother comes running over. All the while, the distraught white woman keeps protesting her innocence and expresses concern for the boy’s welfare.
This is where I see the change in attitude from then to today. The cop and the paramedics tell the mother the boy rode out from between parked cars and he’s fine. The mother chews out her child for being reckless – again – and orders him home immediately, giving that old adage “Wait until your father comes home!” The boy promptly takes his bike and rides home.
In this day and age, odds are the mother would come running over screaming bloody murder, a poverty pimp would show up with his entourage, the mother’s story would be discounted as an attempt by a racist to cover her butt, the boy would be paraded on the news as a victim of racism, the mother would not take any responsibility for her son’s behavior, and there wouldn’t be a father in the home to whom the kid would be responsible. -
And it wouldn’t be gum the kid was chewing….
-
Such cynics. Mmm mmm mmm.
-
And he wouldn’t be able to mount his bike to ride home because his pants would be down about his knees.

I am ready to confess that I only did about 15 minutes of yard work today. It was too cold and windy. Ima wait for the nice weather like we had yesterday, only I was working (billable type work, I mean.)

What I did instead was reconstruct that corrupted spreadsheet for my maligned “civic organization.” Wasn’t much fun, but had to be done. Billable time = 0.
But I got a neat payoff the last time I worked the check-in desk for the community service program. There is an Urban Harvest garden on the grounds of the church where our truants report before heading out to do their tasks. A worker came in from the garden and offered me a big bag of snow peas. Must have been 5 lbs of them, way more than I could use. I found a smaller sack and took a handful for salads. The snow peas I see at the grocery store are very thin-podded and delicate, but these were Texas snow peas, big honkin’ pods with a few giant honkin’ peas inside. Break up several of these is plenty for a salad. -

Well, if y’all are wondering where all the folks in Houston went, they’re ALL in Fredericksburg. We rolled in about noon, only took 4 hours to get here, we had to wait until 2 to get the keys to the shack that we’re staying in so I went by the Nimtz Museum to see if I could get a two day pass and was pleasently surprised to find out that the tickets are good for 48 hours. I just went in and looked around then went to the garden and found my dads brick paver. I’ll start early in the morning so I can see it all. Next we went to the shack in the country and I had to fight off the old Nanny goat to keep her from getting on the porch, my bride gave them some feed that was on the porch and all the goats and the llama was happy. We ate at Friedhelms Bavarian Restaurant and dang it was good! We just got back and I have a roaring fire going in the fireplace. Cresent moon tonight and clear and cool, man is it dark and quite, just like the deer camp, lots of stars.YUP life is good!

I’ve begun my Lenten spiritual exercise. Every day, I write a new quote on the blackboard in my downstairs powder bath. It come from the Bible or some other spiritual source, such as St. Augustine’s Confessions. I have to think about it as I write it, and every time I go to take care of business, it’s right there.
Every week I give my class a quote to write down and think about. It works for me, too. -

Starting the day with humor. Good thing so long as you’re just watching and not partaking. Wonder in which cities in Russia the wrecks happened so they can be avoided. The driving looks insane, maybe worse than in Rome or Mexico City. Icy roads of course make things a lot worse if you ignore the conditions. Too bad the cameras didn’t show the speedometers as well. We probably would have enjoyed translations of the comments.
As for ole Foghorn Leghorn, he sure reminds me of Harry Reid in actions but of course not in appearance. Harry seems more like a fastidious rat searching for an impeccable sewer. 🙂 -

We have a mother possum living under our backyard deck. Several times lately when she came out at nightfall for food (dry dog food balls) and water, we saw little tails sticking out of her pouch during her post-prandial grooming. Tonight, she came out with one baby out of the pouch and clinging to her fur. But it soon fell off and so far, she has not let it or helped it get back aboard. She left it several times and climbed back up on the deck. There are some big rocks near the corner that make that easier for her to do. We could hear the baby squeaking as it tried to climb the rocks too, but it can’t. It’s not clear if Mom is rejecting this one, or if she is training it to follow her. While she was grooming herself, we could see there are still some tails hanging out of the pouch.

Lovely and Aggie Beau just left. They came for dinner. As soon as they showed up, I put AB to work on the barbecue. It seems that my pyro skills are severely lacking. I guess I got it warmed up enough for him, since he was able to keep the fire going. He did the same thing I had done. Three times. I guess fourth time is a charm. Especially if you change the charmer.
I had brought my business computer downstairs, thinking I was going to get some work done without locking myself up in the office. I should know better. -
Hey, it’s been a slow week on the Couch, hope everyone has been up to something fun, fun, fun to ‘splain their absence!
