Achieve Your Potential
Mid-America Christian University's unique Issues-Based academic approach equips students with the skills required to understand and address the challenging issues of the day. We begin by exposing you to three of the most critical issues of our times—the scarcity of food, energy, and water. As an agricultural and energy state, Oklahoma provides a unique opportunity to explore vital issues such as these.
Naturally, these aren't just local or state issues, however. That's why we encourage students to take advantage of the MACU Study Abroad Programs where these issues take on global proportions—and are often matters of life and death. For example, for the past two years, MACU students have traveled to Uganda to work with the Water4 Project to dig wells in communities with no source of fresh water.
To our knowledge, Mid-America is the only university in the nation integrating an understanding of key issues across all undergraduate degree programs. We see this as the best way to create a generation of leaders prepared to make a world of difference—at home and abroad. And it will give every MACU graduate a distinct professional advantage in the marketplace of ideas.
Let Us Help Move You Ahead Personally and Professionally
At Mid-America, our vision is "Preparing People to do Greater Things for God and His Kingdom." Let us do this for you! Let us help you do more than you ever dreamed possible for the glory of God! Call today for more information or to have a personal consultation!

"A Mentor...and Friend."
Kevin (BS '98) - 03/21/2012
At Ingersoll Rand, Kevin (BS '98) reported to VP of Marketing, Brian (MBA '08). Throughout the time they worked together, Brian acted not just a boss, but a mentor. "He understood how things work and helped me settle in; he helped me navigate the culture and understand the leadership team in ways I could easily understand due to our Kelley backgrounds," Kevin said. Recently, when Kevin was looking to change roles within the company, he knew he could count on his mentor to be candid. "Kelley people really care about each other. Brian gave me inspiration for where my career could take me. He helped me realize the benefits of making a change, leading me to this exciting new position with Ingersoll Rand."

Hearse VS Zombies is an addictive physics puzzle game for the iPhone and iPad. It features realistic automobile physics, the ability to customize your hearse, 24 challenging tracks, and three themes (Graveyard, Zombie Amusement Park, and Zombie Forest). The game is instantly playable and simple to control. It offers hours of gameplay and lots of replay value.
Smart Challenge is a computer game to exercise logical thought by solving millions of randomly generated tangram puzzles. It allows you to create and store new puzzles and display the ranking of solution times for each puzzle. Additionally, it has levels of difficulty for the random generated tangram puzzles.
Pybik is an interactive, graphical, single player puzzle about the cube invented by Ernő Rubik. Besides the cube, the program can handle towers and bricks (non-cubic puzzles). Pybik also has solvers, pretty patterns, and a collection of various moves. The cube can be manipulated with the mouse or keyboard. You can change the colors or images on the faces of the cube.
XorCurses is a game based entirely on Xor by Astral Software. The original game was released around 1987 for the 8-bit home computers popular at the time. XorCurses attempts to faithfully recreate that game for Linux, but slightly ironically, uses ASCII characters instead of pixel based graphics (which even the 8-bit computers could manage). The idea of Xor is to roam around a series of mazes collecting masks. The first level is simply a matter of finding your way around, but the second level introduces fish and chickens which block your path or kill you if they hit you. From there on in, things get progressively tougher and really is a challenging and difficult puzzle game.
Chroma is an abstract puzzle game in which a variety of colorful shapes are arranged in a series of increasingly complex patterns, forming fiendish traps that must be disarmed and mysterious puzzles that must be manipulated in order to give up their subtle secrets. Initially, it is so straightforward that anyone can pick it up and begin to play, yet it gradually becomes difficult enough to tax even the brightest of minds. It features twenty-one levels, ranging from beginner to expert; infinite undo and redo capability, as well as replaying of solutions; a choice of smooth graphics or a minimal, text based version; and a level editor to allow you to design your own puzzles.

text: The self-clean cycle works by incinerating food particles. Normally, some ashes are left in the bottom of the oven after cleaning. If spills are too thick or heavy, normal self-clean temperatures will not penetrate and disintegrate them. Instead, they will turn into a hard carbon crust and adhere to the oven liner. To prevent this, wipe up any large spills before using the Self-clean cycle.

Let's face it, finding a job can be challenging these days. I graduated four years ago with a Bachelor's degree in Communication and English. I have had numerous jobs since then and have learned some tips and tricks on finding a job.
Tips for the Job Hunt
- Network. I can't stress how important networking is. Get to know the people around you: your professors, neighbors, colleagues–even your Twitter followers. I found two jobs by simply networking with people at one of my jobs (ironic, right?). Introduce yourself, exchange cards and keep in touch.
- Work your way up. If the only job you find after you graduate is flipping burgers–do it! You have to start somewhere. Sitting at home and whining about not finding a job won't help, either. Start anywhere, and you will eventually find something.
- Stand out. Focus on your strong points when looking for a job and at your interview. Have an online portfolio or blog so people can can easily find you and your work. I've had an online collection of my articles for some time and can simply ask an editor to browse through my web page. I would recommend going to graduate school if you can. Check out this piece on SuhaibWebb.com, The Muslim's Guide to a Successful Job Interview. Also see this article about why grad school is worth it.
- Preparation. Prepare for your interview! I once worked at an office at my university, and a young lady came in for an interview wearing jeans. Take the time to dress appropriately for work, even if it's for an office assistant position at your university. Make sure to do your research before going to the interview so you can find out about the company. Let them know you want to work for them and why.
- Don't give up. When I graduated, I applied to at least 50 positions. Keep searching. Look online, in your newspapers, and email several companies with your resume. At one point, it may seem as if you will never find anything — but you will. Be confident and optimistic.
Do you have any tips that you've used in your job search? Please add to our list of five in the comments below.

'Stories to Keep, Secrets to Tell' exhibit in Ventura
Rod Stewart sang that "every picture tells a story," but sometimes visual art doesn't tell the whole story. In their "Stories to Keep, Secrets to Tell" exhibition, BiJian Fan and Peggy Pownall reveal glimpses of personal narratives. The show is at Fox Fine Jewelry in Ventura through Sept. 14. There will be an artists' reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday.
The mysterious title applies to both artists' work and "the way we manage our secrets in life and how we choose to tell our innermost secrets and keep some of our stories to ourselves," Pownall said.
Pownall's work often has a quiltlike appearance. The Thousand Oaks artist incorporates mixed media, sometimes stitching and layering vintage sewing patterns. At times, Pownall rips paintings to create a ragged edge to "represent how life is beauty even with all the loose ends."
Her current body of work references the traditional feminine world. "The theme is how women create beauty and order out of the chaos of life and keep it all going," she said.
Beijing-born artist Fan learned paper art from his grandmother. Now living in Camarillo, he creates cutting-edge sculpture in metal, polymer and other materials.
Studying in China, Japan and the United States, he earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. After enjoying a career in science and engineering, Fan now devotes himself full-time to art.
He has exhibited internationally and earned numerous recognitions, including an exhibition for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Fox Fine Jewelry is at 210 E. Main St., downtown Ventura. Hours are 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. For more information, call 652-1800 or visit http://www.foxfinejewelry.com.

- " It is very nice back terrace where you can sit, relax, eat or party. We felt very safe at this place. The only thing we did not like that breakfast was always late and not at 8 a.m. as promised, so if you plan early trips you have to leave without breakfast or have your own with you. "
- 05 Mar 2013 Petra
" Altough the location and the staff were great, the room had a bad smell and the blankets were dirty. I found 3 diferent types of hair in my bed.
There is only one shower to 7 rooms, so it was almost all the time wet. "

Tsung is a distributed load testing tool. It is protocol-independent and can currently be used to stress HTTP, WebDAV, PostgreSQL, MySQL, LDAP, AMQP, and XMPP/Jabber servers. It simulates user behavior using an XML description file, reports many measurements in real time (statistics can be customized with transactions, and graphics generated using gnuplot). For HTTP, it supports 1.0 and 1.1, has a proxy mode to record sessions, supports GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods, cookies, and basic/digest authentication. It also has support for SSL, WebSocket, and BOSH.
The 3Gdb Home Subscriber Server implements the HSS network element within an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) core network (CN). An IMS CN is a collection of SIP proxies, registrars, and servers used for the provision of services in a 3GPP all-IP mobile network. The HSS provides a centralized data base for subscriber records and generates authentication vectors.
Jingle Nodes is a relay auto-discovery service that provides Jingle Relay Type Candidates that can be used in ICE-UDP and also on RAW-UDP Jingle sessions. Relay candidates can provide NAT traversal for users who don't have STUN/TURN Support, but also for users with STUN/TURN support for whom negotiation failed. It is designed to allow you to communicate freely with your friends without being attached to closed service providers like Skype or telecommunications carriers.
VoltDB is a blazingly fast relational database system. It is specifically designed to run on modern scale-out architectures: fast, inexpensive servers connected via high-speed data networks. It is aimed at a new generation of database applications - real-time feeds, sensor-driven data streams, micro-transactions, low-latency trading systems - requiring database throughput that can reach millions of operations per second. What's more, the applications that use this data must scale on demand, provide flawless fault tolerance, and enable real-time visibility into the data that drives business value. It includes client application drivers for applications written in Java, C++, C#, PHP, and Python. VoltDB community members have also authored client libraries for Erlang, Ruby and Node.js. There are streaming export capabilities for leading analytic database environments, including Apache Hadoop.
epers stands for "Erlang persistence". As the name suggests, it tries to make it easy to use databases in Erlang programs, to make the language a little more agile, and (humbly) offer a nice adapter for several databases, hiding their implementation details (and the API of the library/framework/driver used to communicate with them). To achieve this, it aims to offer a somewhat consistent API to define and work with your model, while at the same not coupling your code too tightly to it.
Ybot is erlang bot software inspired by Github hubot. It supports IRC and XMPP transports and is extensible with plugins. Plugins can be written with Python, Ruby, or shell. It supports IRC chat, XMPP multi user chat, and 37 signals Campfire chat. It can simultaneously run any number of bots on different transports.

BIO 184: General GeneticsCourse Spotlight, August 2010
For Sacramento State instructors of General Genetics (BIO 184), understanding the dynamics of different genetic disorders and phenotypes goes beyond what students can learn from a textbook. Through a Service Learning collaboration first initiated by Sacramento State Professor Ruth Ballard, Ph.D., genetics students learn to understand the real life manifestations of genetic conditions that affect human development.
According to Associate Professor of Biological Sciences, Brett Holland, Ph.D., "a fundamental goal of all university education is to develop the ability to self‐educate, long after the technical facts of our formal education have faded." In Holland's BIO 184 course, students learn through communication, technical skills, collaboration, and empirical science, and are able to better expand knowledge of and apply course concepts through mutually beneficial service in the community.
Most BIO 184 students engage in service at Project R.I.D.E., a non-profit organization in Elk Grove that provides therapeutic horseback riding lessons to children and adults with physical and mental disabilities including Down's syndrome, Visual Impairment, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome, Paraplegics, Developmental Delays, Cerebral Palsy, Blindness, Hearing Impairments, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Shaken Baby Syndrome, Angelman's Syndrome, and Mental Retardation. BIO 184 students assist Project R.I.D.E in obtaining the improvement of a rider's physical, mental, social and emotional well-being through interaction with specially trained horses and ponies.
Beyond resume-boosting direct-service exposure for students interested in pursuing future health professions, Professor Thomas Peavy, Ph.D., finds that this project has given his students overall a different outlook on children who face many challenges because of genetic disorders. His students have reflected in their project journals that they have learned how to better work with all people—not only individuals with disabilities.
"Many students in the hard sciences can be somewhat indifferent to the real-life implications of what we study," explains senior microbiology major Cedric Steven Irving. "By providing us the opportunity to witness first-hand, the real human beings and families that are touched was absolutely invaluable. Until having personal experiences like Project R.I.D.E., disorders and syndromes are not much more than another chapter in a textbook."

Each year, more than two thousand Sacramento State students, faculty, staff, and alumni participate in programs and projects sponsored by Community Engagement Center. Programs such as Alternative Break, AmeriCorps Students in Service, Sac State Serves, and Service Learning fulfill our mission to facilitate learning and engagement by linking campus and community for mutual benefit. Through Spotlight, Community Engagement Center will highlight outstanding individuals and programs advancing community engagement in the Sacramento region.

I just made Isa Chandra Moskowitz's New England Glam Chowder from the PPK, and it is PHENOM! Have you made it yet?
It's been a pretty chilly 67 degrees in SoCal, so I needed a little something to warm up! AHAHAHAHA, just kidding, I wear tank tops everywhere, only to be met with a concerned, "Aren't you cold?" NO WAY! I JUST MOVED HERE FROM SAN FRANCISCO! (And before that Chicago! And before that, Humboldt County! This is the eternal summer phase of my life! But yeah, actually, I could've used a light sweater, I just didn't bring one, me having so many assumptions about southern California and everything.)
The truth is, I've been eating out with my family at a bunch of restaurants that serve clam chowder and it's left me with a hankering for a vegan version. So thank you, Isa! This Glam Chowder, as with all of your recipes, is awesome. Plus, I'm super into it being soy and gluten-free to boot! My pal Amanda texted me awhile back, letting me know this recipe was bomb; I just want to say "Thanks, girl! You were right! Hey, can you send me some of your future-award-winning jalapeño mac'n cheese? It would be so greatly appreciated! XoXo."

Isa Announces Restaurant in Omaha! ROAD TRIP! »
"First staff meeting. Can you guess what the restaurant is called?" Nov. 1, 2013, @isachandra via Instagram.
Ed. note: Rachel wrote this a while ago, I didn't post until now. Forgive me!
Astute stalkers of the queen of vegan cookbooks will already know that Isa Chandra Moskowitz is planning to open Omaha, Nebraska's first vegan restaurant. Now, in her local paper, she reveals its exact location, and its name. First, take a moment to guess.
No idea? Yeah, that photo didn't tell me squat. Answer: Modern Love. Not to be mistaken for the New York Times column—that's an SEO/Google search problem I wouldn't want to deal with, but unfortunately I was not consulted.
Deets are few, but the paper reveals a couple:
"Moskowitz describes the menu as 'swanky vegan comfort food,' and she said the restaurant will serve a revolving menu of made-from-scratch dishes. She'll make her own cheese, condiments and soda. She said she's working with local farms, and the food will focus on vegetables. She'll also serve homemade pie."
You had me at "swanky."
Oh, and don't be too jealous, but my home of Boulder, CO, is only 552 miles/7 hours and 45 minutes from this impending hotbed of awesomeness. A road trip is clearly in order once the doors open this spring. Stay tuned!!

Happy New Year, Jewish folks!* Here's my present to you: Isa just posted a kick-ass new challah recipe over on The PPK. Secret ingredients include turmeric and bananas. (If it weren't Isa, I'd be so skeptical, but it's Isa! It'll be amazing!) Even if you're not Jewish, you can get behind a bread that involves braiding and also being delicious. Let the baking begin!
And in case you need other vegan Rosh Hashanah ideas, here's a nice collection of relevant recipes from Israel-focused Ynet News.
*Dear gentiles: Today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. It's a big deal, high holy, etc. Real Jews are taking the day off work and celebrating. I'm not a real Jew (just a halfie), so I'm sitting in my office typing this, wishing I could be home making vegan challah.

Oh hey Isa, vegan queen of our hearts. That's a mighty fine vegan caesar salad you've crafted.

Have you watched Isa's video of her wild backyard bunny, Falafel, aka my new best friend? Man I wish we had wild bunnies in New York. Rats are fine and all, but there's nothing like a lightning-quick little bunny darting into your path and surprising you with cuteness. Adorability sneak attack!

Go check it out and count how many of these 100 (technically 99 plus 1 reader's choice) you've enjoyed! I've got … a number! I don't know, there are too many to assess right now, it just came out! (Special hello to my true love, umeboshi paste.)

It's National Hot Chocolate Friday! What's that? It's a holiday that Isa Chandra Moskowitz just made up! But we love her so much, we're all in, right?
She posted the rules on The PPK's Facebook Page:
"Happy National Hot Chocolate Friday! Are you simmering up an inventive new cocoa or sticking to the classics? Take a pic of your creation and tag me or post it here, and I'll put together a collage. Then we can all look at the collage and be like 'That was a great day. Sigh.'"
I'm stuck at my office where all we have is corny, non-vegan Swiss Miss, but you should totally do it!
Props to Krista O'Reilly for the goodies in the photo: "Homemade cinnamon hot chocolate with both Sweet & Sara AND Dandies marshmallows. Delicious madness." Can I come over later?

Happy Almost New Year: it's the Vegansaurus best meals of 2012! »
You didn't think we'd let 2013 come at us without a best of list, did you? OF COURSE NOT. So for your reading pleasure, we came up with our very favorite meals of 2012. Let's do this!
Jenny (that's me!): My new favorite restaurant of all time is Pura Vida in Las Vegas. I ate so many wonderful meals this year, but Pura Vida topped them all. Chef Mayra is a culinary mastermind—her dishes are vibrantly colorful and packed with so much flavor! Almost every day I think about the breakfast burrito I had about eight months ago, and I cannot wait to to get back to Vegas to hit her up again! I've actually planned my entire wedding in Vegas (sans groom) (for now) solely based on Chef Mayra catering the elegant debauchery that will no doubt ensue.
Latin'tude breakfast burrito, I love you!
Megan: "For me, it was the year of chickpea flour—and more specifically, the Tuscan chickpea frittata. Oh boy did we have some good times this year! I made them every which way from Sunday. So easy and so yummy! And totes versatile. It's the best!"
Man, that was a lot of fun, when Megan was making all those frittatas! I can't believe I never tried one myself, but I suppose that will have to be what 2013 is for!
Vegan, gluten-free frittata; so many delicious combinations!
Laura: "The VegNews all-cheese holiday party, catered by Miyoko Schinner was, in a word, mind blowing! Cheese, cheese, and more cheese!! Giant cheese-stuffed ravioli was maybe the best thing I've ever eaten in my life (SORRY ABOUT THE PHOTO, I'm too pretty to be good at anything!) and fried croquettes on amazing salad, and so much more. Vegan meringue, too! Holy mother!
"Vegan cheese, you've come a long way since your days of gross inedibility! Buy Miyoko's book IMMEDIATELY!"
Hot dang, that VegNews staff knows how to get down!
Vegan cheese, you HAVE come a long way!
Meave: Of course, sometimes it is impossible to pick just one, so our Meave gives the lowdown on her top five! First, comes Isa's Maple Pecan Pie, because what holiday is complete without this delectable dessert? (Follow Meave on Instagram to see how her beautiful pie turned out—I was blown away at its loveliness!)
Maple pecan pie, before meeting the oven!
Next up we have a filling and colorful veg bowl, to which Meave explains, "Angela Liddon, salad genius, made so many of my lunches better with her legume and veg bowls, but my favorite was her Lightened Up Protein Power Goddess Bowl. Meave is quite the salad dressing connoisseur ("I'm picky"), so if this made the list, you know it's got to be good! Of course we can't leave out the brunch at Donut Farm, which includes Meave's personal faves — the winter hash, double-dipped donuts, banana fritters and potato works!
Winter hash forever! Or at least until spring!
Last but certainly not least, Sinto Gourmet kimchi, and for ogling, everything by Tofu666 ("my No. 1 source for food porn").
Sarah: Keeping up with her title, Sarah dishes out some raw opinions, telling us her favorite dish of 2012 was "Cafe Gratitude's I Am Whole bowl. Always". I bet she's missing that over on the East Coast! Hope you got your fill on your recent L.A. adventure, Sarah!
Sarah's version of said bowl, via her personal blog queerveganfood.com.
Andrew: "I'm going to have to go with our recent Mexican vegan Christmas dinner menu—homemade refried beans, Spanish rice, homemade mole with tofu, three kinds of homemade tamales (soyrizo, mushroom and mole, and green chile and cheese); margarita pizza with soyrizo (definitely NOT homemade); and horchata made from scratch, which was used for Mexican White Russians. This fed seven of us at dinner and then everyone got some to take home. And we've had leftovers for one meal a day since." I did manage to get myself invited to this magnificent dinner, but alas, Long Beach was just too far away!
Check out this magnificent plate, made complete with a Tecate, of course!
That's enough about us and our favorites—now it's your turn to rave about your absolute faves from 2012, so the rest of us can enjoy them in 2013! Happy New Year everybody!

The Vegansaurus Top 15 vegan celebrities! »
LA Weekly just posted their top 10 vegan celebrities, which got me wondering why they should have all the fun. As many of you pointed out, a few of those celebs aren't even vegan anymore (Alec and Olivia, I'm looking at you.) So … drum roll, please … we at Vegansaurus have put together our own top 10 list, only it contains 15 of our favorite vegan celebs! What do you think? Does this make you love us more? Hate us? Feel nothing? Ha! I bet you can't stop reading anyway!
In no particular order (I'm very sensitive myself and do not want these beautiful specimens of veganism to feel jilted), I present you with…THE VEGANSAURUS TOP 15 VEGAN CELEBRITIES!
The first two are the winners of a little poll we conducted around the first of year, asking you about your favorite vegan musicians. You guys went totally bonkers for
1. Moby! This guy has been vegan for what feels like forever, which roughly translates to about 18 years. He's co-owned a vegan cafe and co-written a book, all the while working as a recording artist, hot dang! I went to a BBQ he hosted at SXSW last year, which was pretty fantastic, and maybe one of my favorite meals from 2011. Keep doing you, Moby; keep doing you.
2. Ted Leo! Now, don't get upset, but I don't know much about this guy. That doesn't matter, however, because you, our lovely readers, LOVE this guy. You couldn't hold back your devotion in our poll! Please, feel free to school me about Ted Leo in the comments, I will not mind. According to this interview, he loves Millennium (holla!). Maybe us S.F.-dwellers will run into him there. Jealous?
And now for our picks:
3. Bill Clinton! Need I say more? The Vegan Fox (formerly Slick Willy, right?) is on Team Vegan, hurrah!
4. Fiona Apple! Angst sounds so sweet mixed with a vegan diet. My Tumblr and Twitter feeds are still filled with people going nuts about her new album, and that dropped like four months ago! Has anyone seen one of her epic onstage meltdowns? I'm not hating—I have epic meltdowns every day of my life, as witnessed by my friends, family, roommates and co-workers.
5. Alicia Silverstone. She videotaped herself feeding her kid like a goddamn bird, which grossed out pretty much everyone who saw it. I still shudder, thinking about it. In other news, she loves Food For Lovers queso, wrote a pretty awesome vegan lifestyle book, and STARRED IN CLUELESS (not to mention those Aerosmith videos).
6. Woody Harrelson. Raw vegans tend to be pretty sexy (hey Sarah E. Brown, I'm winking at YOU), and he especially did not disappoint while kicking undead ass in the movie Zombieland! Looks like he even got his hands on some vegan Twinkies for a scene in said movie. HEY WOODY, I MAKE THOSE FOR A LIVING!
7. Tony Kanal, the bassist for No Doubt! This one's for me and my girl Tashina, the biggest No Doubt fans you may ever meet. Don't hate, celebrate! Gwen Stefani was just photographed leaving a vegan restaurant in L.A.; maybe that was Tony's influence? (Though I hear Gavin's a longtime vegetarian.)
8. Joaquin Phoenix! He narrated Earthlings! He's totally crazy (by which I mean a crazy-talented actor)! Isa Chandra Moskowitz has made eggrolls for him!
9. Emily Deschanel! She's so beautiful and articulate, and her penetrating stare scares the shit out of me! She weathered a vegan pregnancy AND LIVED TO TALK ABOUT IT! Take that, everyone who says it's not possible! Ha!
10. Scott Jurek, because vegan athletes/authors are superstars! Read all about Rachel's love for Scott here! To quote the post, "Scott Jurek could basically kick your ass any day of the week, including days where he hasn't slept the night before, has a broken ankle, and already ran 75 miles." Dang.
11. Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres! They are so great about making veganism look fun and accessible. There is so much to love about this superstar couple and the work they do for animals. Too bad about the restaurant deal falling through, but yay for vegan dog food!
12. Erykah Badu! She's every vegan jazz musician's No. 1 crush, or maybe that's just my old roommate Jeremy. Remember when she busted onto the scene with "On and On" then sent everyone into a flurry with her video for "Window Seat"? This "Queen of Neo-Soul" is truly an inspiration when it comes to forward thinking politics and raising her vegan family!
13. Alanis Morisette! I had a co-worker at the Chicago Diner who thought the lyrics to You Oughta Know were "… and the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me". HA! Now you'll always sing that, instead of the right words, JUST LIKE ME! It's a curse I bestow on you. Also, Alanis is quite lovely, and wasn't she great on Weeds? Oh yes, and of course You Can't Do That on Television!
14. Russell Simmons! Man, do you follow this guy on Twitter? He's like a guru for people who don't believe in gurus (me)! And seriously, wasn't the best part of Kimora Lee Simmons' show when he came on and moderated the crazy? Our Megan is always covering Russell's vegan moves here on Vegansaurus, so I'll just direct you to one of my favorite posts of hers, also featuring Martha Stewart! Keep giving us your vegan recipes, Russell! Keep giving us your wisdom!
15. Thom Yorke! OBVIOUSLY, right?! Most everyone's favorite band has been Radiohead at some point, hasn't it? He ate at Café Gratitude once, when I was working in the Central Kitchen of Scandal. Everyone went nuts, as to be expected. I'm never around when the celebs come to the restaurants I work at and it's not fair, because I just love them so much! Actually, scratch that—M.C. Hammer came into Source recently (and I didn't recognize him without his signature pants).
Honorable Mention:
Brad Pitt! I was shocked to find out he's vegan. On second thought, it made sense. He would just quietly be vegan, helping to rebuild New Orleans, raising a family, and avoiding Jennifer Aniston's rabid fan base of haters.

"To assemble such an impressive array of leaders committed to the ideals of FIFA and the World Cup tells the United States and the global soccer community that our effort is a sincere and worthy one," said Sunil Gulati, Chairman of the USA Bid Committee and President of U.S. Soccer. "President Clinton is already making a significant impact on behalf of our bid, and we are humbled and impressed by the support our Board of Directors is pledging to help us bring the FIFA World Cup™ back to the United States in 2018 or 2022."
Joining President Clinton, Gulati and USA Bid Committee Executive Director David Downs at the summit were, in alphabetical order:
• Douglas Band, Counselor to President Clinton
• Carlos Cordeiro, former Goldman Sachs Vice Chairman (Asia)
• Dan Flynn, U.S. Soccer CEO and General Secretary
• Ed Foster-Simeon, U.S. Soccer Foundation President
• Don Garber, Major League Soccer Commissioner
• Mia Hamm, former star player of U.S. Women's National Team
• Dr. Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State

• Tim Leiweke, AEG President and CEO
• Donna Shalala, University of Miami President
• Joe Uva, Univision CEO
• Casey Wasserman, Wasserman Media Group Chairman and CEO

FIFA's 24 member Executive Committee will study the bids, conduct site visits and name the hosts for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments on December 2, completing a 21-month bid and review process.
The United States, Australia, England and Russia have formally declared their desire to host the FIFA World Cup™ in 2018 or 2022. Netherlands-Belgium and Portugal-Spain have each submitted joint bids for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments, while Japan, Qatar and South Korea have only applied as candidates to host the tournament in 2022.

I use CMake to generate a Visual Studio 2010 project and solution file.
Actually I could set different settings,
like warning level, incremental building flag ect. from CMake. But I can't set additional includes and libraries,
listed in the VC++ Directory configuration tab. Actually I've to set up those directories manually. This is stupid
and boring…
I tried to set the following CMake variables: CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH,
but nothing happend. If i open the project, the additional include directory is always empty (only standard
MSVE settings are given).
I also tired to set this variables after executable creation, but this has also no effect.
Knows anyone how I could perform those settings at the solution using
Thanks for any help.

This conditioner didn't really do anything to my hair. It wasn't moisturizing enough for my thick, curly hair. I won't be using this again.
it was like every other conditioner. it wasnt great but it wasnt bad either. but i did really like the scent of it since im a lavender kind of girl
Like the shampoo, I was disappointed with this product. It didn't give me volume or soften my hair and I didn't enjoy the scent at all.
I used this product as well as the shampoo for a week. It made my hair feel very dry, it smelled like an old musky lady perfume. I like to give everything a chance and go into it with a positive outlook but with this product I couldn't wait to wash my hair with anything else!
I have long, very thick, coarse hair that needs the right amount of moisture. Too little and I look like a sea hag, too much and I get weighed down. The first day I used this, the weather was cold, windy, and dry. I made sure I rinsed this all out but it was almost like I could still feel it in my hair. I felt clumpy and weighed down. Then the weather shifted dramatically to humidity and scattered rain the following day and suddenly I had a voluminous, hydrated, shiny black mane. Unfortunately, we get so few days like those, this conditioner will not work for me.
Also, the smell. It has that sweet cocoa/shea initial note but lingering in the background is a sharp, industrial floor-polish fume that will linger. You've been warned.
This product was just okay. It conditioned well but didn't give me any extra volume at all. It smelled nice and was a good texture, but there was nothing special about it. The package was super difficult to tear open, I ended up using scissors.
I have really thick hair, and I found that this conditioner really seemed to weigh it down. My hair also felt strange after using it. This was not my favorite product.
The conditioner either smells slightly better than the shampoo or I was just getting slightly used to the terrible smell of them both by the time I got using to the conditioner. Even if it does smell better than the shampoo, it is still most certainly not a product I would ever buy ... or even use the free other sample.
This product has a very musky, chemical-y smell. I washed my hair with the Rahua shampoo and used the conditioner and after my hair was dry, I could still smell the not pleasant scent. Also, I didn't notice any added volume. This product is not for me.
I have long thick hair so the sample was enough for one use. I didn't notice much of an increase in volume but it did make my hair feel softer.

EVOip for Linux records and automatically tags VoIP calls with selected parameters such as agent I.D. or time of transmission. It provides for immediate decision-making with "record-on-demand," to start recording; "keep/delete," to choose whether to store the call; "pause/resume," to record only parts of a call; and "last call repeat," for immediate replay. A display indicates whether the current call is being recorded, and many of the functions utilize the browser interface on Cisco phones without the need for another appliance. In addition, supervisors now may monitor up to eight concurrent VoIP calls live.

Wind howls, spindrift blasts and cornices loom across ridges. Up or down? Those who endure big mountains – whether ski mountaineering or alpine climbing – know that bomber protection is as crucial as decision-making. The Super Alpine Jacket protects against the worst possible weather with the best available waterproof/windproof and breathable fabrics. It features extremely light, but durable, 3-layer nylon GORE-TEX® Pro fabric with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish, a tough nylon outer with key-area reinforcements, and a micro-grid interior that helps optimize breathability. A flat-pleated front stays close to your body to let you see your feet and allows the pockets to expand without bulky seams. Trim, watertight zippers for the pockets and pit zips are laminated in place to reduce weight and bulk; a small internal zippered chest pocket stows your keys. The underarm gussets keep the jacket in place when you lift your arms, and the Gasket Dry Cuffs seal out the elements at the wrists. Our helmet-compatible, 2-way-adjustable hood has a laminated visor and sleek Touch Point System™ embedded cord locks (in the hood and hem) for quick adjustment without opening the jacket.
- Durably waterproof/windproof and breathable 3-layer nylon GORE-TEX® Pro fabric resists the wettest, coldest, most persistent weather
- Helmet-compatible Optimal Visibility Hood™ with laminated visor for good visibility in poor conditions
- Touch Point System™ with embedded cord locks in hood and hem for quick-and-easy adjustment
- Gusseted underarm panels let you reach without raising the body of the jacket
- Harness- and pack-compatible Pressed Pleat Pockets increase capacity without adding seams
- Watertight-coated Slim Zips are laminated in place for less bulk
- Pleated Gasket Dry Cuffs provide a tight, low-profile wrist seal
- 3-layer, 3.8-oz 40-denier 100% nylon GORE-TEX® Pro fabric. Reinforcements: 3-layer, 4.9-oz 150-denier 100% nylon GORE-TEX® Pro fabric. Shell and reinforcements have a DWR (durable water repellent) finish

The benefit: no movement between the three layers, which means less wear and tear, and even greater durability.

Labor Day Not Union Day
I'm no stranger to labor. I grew up with a farm background. My career is in the trades. My knees have paid the price of fixing your furnaces, air conditioners and boilers. My legs are weary from climbing ladders to service HVAC equipment on your roofs so that workers and customers can be comfortable. I am part of the labor force that makes America work and life better for all.
Labor unions, mostly public sector unions, want to corner the glory for making America a better country. Non-union laborers are treated with disdain frequently. There may be some valid issues there but lets not forget that Monday is about Labor and not about unions.
You too can be a Friend of the Poor
I'm not the only one who thinks the annual St. Vincent de Paul Friends of the Poor Walk should be renamed The Roy Thater Memorial Walk for the Poor. Not only was Roy known to put on many miles walking the neighborhoods, to church and Christina's, but there's nothing Roy wouldn't have done for the poor, or for any neighbor for that matter. Roy was a huge inspiration with his dedication to the poor through volunteering at the St. Vincent store and his many years of service to the needy through the St. William conference of St. Vincent.
I blogged here after visiting Roy at the hospice in Dec. '09. With health failing due to cancer; his wife having recently passed; and doing everything he could to be helpful in this life, the end for him came very naturally and comfortably. What I didn't mention in the blog is his gift to St. Vincent de Paul upon his death. Even in death Roy was a friend of the poor.

Where There's Smoke On The Mountain - There's A Good Time!
I've been through the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee a number of times. The scenery, the winding roads and rivers, the hills and hollers; there truly is nothing else like it. I've also had an occasional opportunity to stop and stay awhile; that Southern Hospitality thing? It's real!
This past April, I spent three glorious weeks on a short-term mission trip. Working with The Christian Appalachian Project, an interdenominational ministry; traversing the hills of Eastern Kentucky, working on various projects with other volunteers and meeting participants has given me more than a few sweet memories. While the whole experience was rewarding, there are a couple things that stand out.
Another icon going the way of the buggy whip
As I was watching the Packers come from behind against the Panthers, I saw someone walk across the yard and heard a plop on the front patio. It was heavy, didn't shatter and was free. That could only mean that it was some version of the old time Yellow Pages.
Some months ago I went into the closet and retrieved about five of these books from various advertising agencies. Most I never even opened and I can't remember the last time I used one. If I need my fingers to do the walking, its alway across this keyboard or even on my cell phone or the iPod which I always carry.
untitled, part I
Titles are often the hardest part. It doesn't help when the one I want to use is taken. I was going to call this one blogstipation to reflect the two weeks I haven't written but someone had already thought of it first. I've been busy with work and play and regret not blogging more frequently, mainly because now there's almost too much to write about.

untitled, part II
Several news items caught my eye last week. The series is over now, but I thoroughly enjoyed John Schoenknecht's Freeman columns on the County Fair. I especially enjoyed reading about ballooning at the fair and had no idea it went as far back as 1880!
Last Tuesday I could smell burning wood outside work. Some coworkers were talking about the smell coming from Minnesota. No way! It was verified to be coming from northern MN and I could hardly believe it. No idea you could smell something from 400 miles away.
Another Apple Fest Has Fallen From The Tree
Retzer Nature Center's annual Apple Harvest Festival was last Saturday. I've previously always mentioned it ahead of time to let readers know about it but didn't this year. That's how busy I've been. Fourteen hours of overtime last week with a chance to work Saturday too, but I was previously committed.
I showed up at the Retzer's cider stand to take up my position at 8:30 in the morning even though the fest didn't start until 9:00. Cider sales captures people as they're leaving the fest and they haven't even arrived yet. Two other people were there with me with three more scheduled in two hours. I checked with Holly to see if they could use me somewhere else. I checked at apple pie sales. Nope. The food tent. Sorry. I passed up working to not work?
Les Talk, More Music
Sue Baker's letter to the Freeman after Les' memorial dedication reminded me that there is a really great website for the Les Paul Foundation on which she serves. My first thought was "hey, the Les Paul Google Doodle is still available," and I started playing with that. In preparation for this post I took another look at the site and "hey, the entire dedication is on video!" If you have any interest at all you should take a peek.
Back on June 9th I blogged about the Google Doodle for Les' 96th birthday. Since then I've seen a lot of creative things done with it on YouTube. At first I thought you had to use just the mouse, but it's far easier to use the keyboard. Many of the Google Doodle YouTube videos show the key combinations in the comment section so you can play it yourself. You have to push the record button to start using the keyboard. The recording will soon stop, but you can keep playing. One of the easiest and recognizable tunes I've found with instructions is Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. Have a listen. You have to watch it on YouTube to see the comments with key combination.
Waukesha Kmart closing by January
Kmart Corp. plans to close its Waukesha discount store, at 120 E. Sunset Drive, in January, according to a notice filed with the state Department of Workforce Development.
The permanent closing will result in 57 Kmart employees losing their jobs, the notice says.
Difficult times
It has taken me a while to write about it but here goes...A call came in on my cell on a hot Friday morning. It was a call from a former co-worker. He called to say a mutual friend had died the night before. It did not register for a while because my mind did not want to accept the fact someone I had known and worked with for 10+ years had passed. Ted was a couple of years older but our kids were the same age. This was a sudden and unexpected passing. I have a lot of great memories of traveling with Ted to octoberfest in Munich Germany a few years back with a great group of guys. I have fond memories of grabbing a beer and listening to him tell a story and laughing til my sides hurt.
There is an fundraiser event coming up in October for his family. Details will be following soon that I will post here. The fundraiser will be in Milwaukee and will be a tailgate event during a Packer game. It sounds to be the perfect way to remember Ted and to raise money for the family.
Feathered Festival Free
Coinciding with the current Owen Gromme exhibit at the Waukesha County Historical Society and Museum is a day of feather-centered events tomorrow, Saturday. Lots of fun for everyone, including live birds of prey. Since Saturday is also Smithsonian magazine museum day you can also get in for free by printing the ticket found through their website.
I hope to see you there. I'd love to see the Gromme exhibit and the exciting new things happening at the museum.
"Museum Man" makes rare appearance at Waukesha County Museum
Thoroughly enjoyed Waukesha County Museum's Owen Gromme exhibit. I learned a lot from reading the labels at each painting and artifact. Some were funny stories behind the subject of the art or the reason for the painting, while others told how they were done or, like color studies, why they were done.
As a counter in the Midwest Annual Crane Count myself, I was surprised to learn Gromme was an early benefactor and board member of the International Crane Foundation and sandhill cranes one of his favorite subjects.
An Affordable Smoke
Sadly, some things are soon coming to an end. Did you have a good summer? I had a good time working and playing hard. I'm ready for yet another wet fall and long, cold, dark winter. Change is good.
One of the best reasons for looking forward to the weekend, the eight free outdoor stages of Freeman Friday Night Live, ends for the season with this coming Friday the 30th. Some businesses will continue live entertainment indoors, but it's just not the same. FFNL was blessed with good weather most of the summer. Street closing went a long way to bring more people downtown, especially families with young children.
Local Walk for the Poor Makes Big Splash
At first I debated even putting up the canopy. The sky looked great out to the west from which we get most of our weather. After we finally erected the canopy over the tables of food the dark sky to the east continued to spread out in our direction, but I remained optimistic. We even took time to do lots of chalk drawings on the pavement, figuring they'd probably be there a while.
Scattered showers were predicted for the weekend. Ours wasn't the only walk held on Saturday, but naturally the showers would miss ours. Just a quick two mile hike. How long could that take?

Districts to see $30.4 million from investment firm charged by SEC
An investment firm charged with selling unsuitably risky investments to five Wisconsin school districts has agreed to settle the charges and pay $30.4 million, which will be distributed to the districts, U.S. securities regulators said today.
The Securities and Exchange Commission charged RBC Capital Markets LLC with misconduct in the sale of unsuitable investments to the Waukesha, Whitefish Bay, West Allis-West Milwaukee, Kenosha and Kimberly school districts, and for inadequate disclosures about the risks of those investments, according to a news release.

Tasting Notes
"Light bright yellow color; Musky citrus, pineapple and sweet floral aromas combine with a fresh grassy element. Initial grapefruit and citrus peel flavors give way to richer tropical fruits on the palate which is lush, creamy and broad but underpinned by vibrant racy acidity. With time in the glass the wine opens further to reveal honeyed leesy richness, broad texture and a hint of lemongrass on the zesty finish.
Serve at no cooler than 50 degrees to allow the wine to open fully. Drink within two years of release."
