Pisces is the twelfth sign of the Zodiac, is Mutable-Water, and rules the feet and veins.
Ruling planet is Neptune and also Jupiter.
Pisces symbol is two fish swimming in opposite directions, which points to the inner tensions of the sign of Pisces.
Pisces are friendly and likable, but can be very moody and introspective. They are concerned with subtle emotions and secret mystical depths. They are dreamy and full of imagination, and are easily influenced by things around them, and are sensitive to the emotions of others.
They have an artistic temperament that allows them to express their feelings in creative and innovative ways. They can be strong when necessary, but will have a hard time making decisions.
Pisces will also experience periodic emotional upsets, stemming from their extreme sensitivity as they react to situations and events that seem harsh.
They are truly compassionate, offering service, love and understanding to all of life that surrounds them.
Pisces are most compatible with: Scorpio, Cancer, Capricorn and Taurus.
Career Path
Pisces are best suited to any career in which imagination, vision, and empathy are important. Pisces is probably the most creative and inspired employee.
Pisces find it difficult to be on time and are not usually suited to a nine-to-five job, or chained to a desk. They need to choose jobs that allow them to express themselves and be true to their creative vision.
They need an unstructured environment, creative license, and enough money to pay the bills. They can inspire their coworkers and the public when given the chance to explore and create.

The Stone Of Farewell continues to chronicle Simon's travels through Osten Ard. Having recovered the great sword Thorn, he and his companions must now deliver it to Prince Josua, if any hope is to be had of defeating King Elias, Josua's brother. But, when Simon finally awakens following his battle with the Ice Dragon, Igjarjuk, it seems that all hope his lost - his friends, the Rimmersman Sludig and the troll Binabik, are prisoners of the trolls of Yiqanuc. Even with the help of Jiriki, the Sithi prince whose life he saved, the future looks bleak. At the same time, Prince Josua and his small band of fugitives from the fall of Naglimund are being led by the wise Geloe towards the ancient Stone of Farewell, the one place where they might find shelter from the coming storm that Elias and Ineluki are bringing upon all of Osten Ard.
This is the shortest book in the trilogy. I still have it in large-format paperback (which is usually issued after the hardback, but before the normal-sized paperback edition), and it's probably the most battered book in my entire collection, as it went through quite a lot in my uncle's bag on his flight from London...then he arrived in Dublin with it, only to tell me he hadn't finished it yet, and I had to wait another fortnight! Ah, well....it was all worth it in the end.
For more details, go have a look at www.tadwilliams.com, which has lots of comments by Tad on what he calls "the book that ate my life", as well as summaries of the rest of his books, and news of what he's currently up to. Or alternatively, go buy The Dragonbone Chair, and get reading!

Where do I start? I have had a variety of
kinds of jobs, but have never been able to sustain employment,
especially if it was full time. So what kind of problems do I have?
Well, it's much easier to understand from this point of view: I have
the same kinds of problems when I do anything for MONEY.
It's not so much employment, it's money. I discovered this when I
tried my hand at making money from selling stuff on a market stall -
I still had the same problems and issues come up, and there was no
employer to direct them at. Then, as I became more self-aware, I
realized I had milder versions of these problems with doing what was
required to get welfare payments. So here are the problems:
I became suspicious that I was being
manipulated secretly, that I was being forced to do things that I
didnt know about. That I was being tricked, taken advantage of. I
feel that I am being bought, that I am only getting money because I
am doing something bad.
I get annoyed, and angry, and irritable,
because I feel that things are happening to me that I don't like,
against my will. I start being less friendly, more unfriendly.
One of the problems with seeing what is going on is that I don't have
a great awareness of all this. It is very difficult for me to have
any awareness of my actual outward behavior. I have not the ability
to see that people are reacting to me differently, so I cant conclude
that I am behaving differently.
The result:
I have gradually settled for being poor,
because the possession and getting of money is simply too traumatic.
Currently I am in a situation where I do not have to involve myself
too much with the maintenance of my income, and can concentrate on
getting myself to a point where I can work. So far this has not been
easy. I have only partly uncovered the mechanisms that interfere with
my attempts financial gain.
How do I now explain all this?:
When I started realizing that my behavior
was being affected - when I was diagnosed with ADHD - I was still
unable to actually perceive my own behavior. This is still mostly
true today.
The first place where I worked as a telephone interviewer gave me a
wonderful opportunity to increase my self understanding. The first
time when I worked there in 1995, I got sacked because of my
behavior. I was asked by my employing agent if drugs were involved in
my problems.
Later on, I called that agent to inform her that I had been diagnosed
with ADHD and was on medication for it - I believed then and now that
my ADHD symptoms were related to what happened with my behavior.
Because of doing this at apparently just the right time, I was
offered a position on another survey, because it was short and I was
trained on their system already. One of the other workers who was
also there when I was the first time remarked how amazingly different
my behavior was - that I was like a different person, so much more
stable and less agitated. Also, I didn't get sacked this time. It was
valuable to me to get such feedback about my behavior - I could not
perceive any difference, yet others could.
This inability to perceive my own behavior mystified me, yet I knew
it was central to the reasons why I had behavioral problems.
My problem is now, how do I get myself to a stage where I can work
without needing medication, when I am unable to sense my own
My current explanation:
Back to the money issue. The other aspect
of my behavior is that the bad stuff is triggered by money. Money
drives me crazy, so to speak.
Since that time, I have associated my reaction to money to memories
involving my being prostituted as a child by my parents. This is the
trigger. The mechanism I have identified as personality
characteristics that I have no awareness or control over - what is
commonly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. I am not diagnosed
with this, but I sure have looked into it a lot, and it really seems
to fit what I am experiencing and explain the problems in my
This explanation also is consistent with my present inability to fix
the problem. I haven't healed my separations of consciousness, or my
perception of money. As I have discovered, this problem of employment
is a very difficult one to repair. Now I know why.

Our History
Kingston Anchors began in the wake of the 1976 Summer Olympics. The games were awarded to Montréal, but the waters off Kingston were deemed best for the sailing events, so the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour was constructed initiating a sailing boom. Ed Petersen saw the opportunity to capture both the local sailing market and the need for high-quality anchors throughout North America. With remarkable foresight and considerable business acumen, Kingston Anchors immediately found itself to be a significant player in the marketplace.
Kingston Anchors is located in the historic city of Kingston, Ontario, just minutes off Highway 401. This convenient location offers easy access to the metropolitan centres of Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa as well as the border with the U.S.A.

Over the years we recognized the demand for building quality parts required by our clients who value the Kingston Anchors brand. The pride we take in our high-end service and products matches the pride that our prestigious clients have in their work.

Like the ring but don't like the diamond? We'll find the diamond you want. Request a different center stone.
This classic accented engagement ring has extra detail that makes it feel luxurious. The six-prong trellis setting recalls the look of a lotus flower, which inspired the name of this collection. The Pear cut Nexus Diamond alternative gives this design a spunky yet elegant style. The accent stones are prong set within a channel, which protects the stones and makes the settings more durable. Unlike the Bali Classic, this ring has a flatter shank to accommodate the accent stones, and it pairs beautifully with the Miami or San Francisco wedding band.

A Fleeting Glimpse of Heaven
Exclusively for Saturated Space Eleanor Jolliffe unearths the shimmering delights of the material, technical, historical, and experiential story of Byzantine architectural mosaics.
"The golden mosaics of Byzantine churches hold a particular allure to tourist and pilgrim alike. These timeless representations of the divine have fascinated viewers for centuries. This paper considers the manufacture, use and experience of the glass tiles, or tesserae, used in these mosaics- specifically gold tesserae.
Gold tesserae were used in ecclesiastical mosaics specifically as a representation of divine light, and, in collaboration with architectural form and curated lighting were crafted to inspire spiritual experiences. A modern viewing of these mosaics is vastly different to a Byzantine viewing and this paper also explores these differences, and the question of whether tesserae can still hold the same meaning and significance in the present day."

In the Light of a Clear Blue Wall
Exclusively for Saturated Space, Neil Stephen Flannagan tells the story of colour in the spaces of Gallaudet University for the deaf and hard of hearing.
"A dull shade of blue is spreading on the walls of Gallaudet University. It's not an official color, but rather a practical accommodation for its students, who are overwhelmingly Deaf and so primarily communicate in sign language. This blue provides a comfortable, clear background to read the hands and faces used to converse. The factors that make blue special connect race, digital media, and the peculiar rarity of the color in the human environment. What it implies is a clear functional role for coloration and a reminder that to be "human-centered," design must grapple with troublesome issues of identity and history."

I can't believe that it's been five years since I started writing here at WITK! I remember reading food blogs during my down time in the lab and thinking that I'd like to share my cooking online too! A lot has changed since those early days in the kitchen...
In 2010, I was living in Colorado and getting ready to move to Connecticut. It was probably the worst time to start a food blog, since my kitchen was about to be packed up and shipped off to the East Coast!
I spent a year cooking from my tiny studio apartment in New Haven, Connecticut, before landing my first real job and moving to New Jersey. Not just moving to New Jersey, but moving in with my boyfriend of eight years.
I spent almost two years at my first job before the company was closed and I found myself unemployed! During my six months of unemployment I started a lifestyle blog, Wilde in the City, interviewed at a half dozen pharma companies and traveled the US with the boyfriend.
These days I'm happily at a new pharmaceutical company, in a completely different position, traveling the world and occasionally getting into the kitchen. With my work and travel schedule, I've been lax with my posting here at WITK, but I couldn't let this date pass me by!
Since it's July, I thought that I would celebrate the fruit of the season - the Strawberry! The cake is flavored with ripe strawberries and layered with strawberry compote and fresh whipped cream. To top it all off, the cake is covered with an amazing cream cheese frosting.
Thank you for coming along on this exciting journey at WITK! I wish you could all come over and have a slice of cake. I guess I'll just have to eat it all myself!

Michelle Greco Cleared For Full Participation On UCLA Basketball Team
Sept. 23, 2002
Michelle Greco has been cleared by the Bruins' medical staff to resume full participation on the UCLA women's basketball team, effective immediately. The team will begin pre-season conditioning on October 1st and have its first practice on October 12th. Greco, the Pac-10's leading scorer in the 2000-01 season with a 19.9 scoring mark, was granted a medical hardship waiver in June by the Pacific 10 Conference Council and will play for coach Kathy Olivier's UCLA Bruins this season as a redshirt senior.
The 5-9 guard averaged 23.6 points per game during the first five games of the 2001-02 season before sitting out the rest of UCLA's contests last season. The UCLA medical staff recommended that Greco should not participate in basketball competition for the remainder of the season due to her history of mild concussions.
Over the last nine months, Greco has been limited to non-contact aspects of team practice. The medical staff, after evaluating recent tests, has cleared Greco to return immediately to full participation in all aspects of practice and to play in games.
'I have learned a lot about the game of basketball and myself during my time on the sidelines,' said Greco. 'I can't wait to get back and resume my regular basketball life while taking part in games and scrimmages. I look forward to joining my teammates in preparation for my senior season.'

Despite the fact that substance abuse is a serious threat to our youth nowadays, more and more teenagers start to consume dangerous substances, unaware of their implications in the long run. In this article I will present you the importance of substance abuse prevention in schools today, as well as their main benefits.
Drug Prevention Programs In High SchoolsIt is better to prevent than to treat, and that is a fact. Fortunately, over the past decade, more and more schools across the territory of the USA started programs that aim to prevent substance abuse. It is the responsibility of school administrators to determine the percentage of teenagers that consume illegal substances and to take the necessary measures to stop them from doing so and prevent others from starting to use illegal substances. The best way to do so is by using anonymous surveys.
It is essential to raise awareness among teenagers with regards to the dangerous effects of drugs, as well as to inform them about all the legal aspects. Very few teenagers are actually aware of the risks associated with the use of illegal substances, and this is one of the main factors that contribute to the increasing number of teenagers that consume dangerous substances.
Nonetheless, it must be mentioned that the term "substance abuse" does not only refer to drugs and illegal substances, but to alcohol and tobacco as well. Even though the latter is less dangerous, students must be warned about the dangerous health risks they expose themselves at each time they consume such substances.
Regarding drug prevention programs in high schools, school administrators usually focus on education. Education is undoubtedly the most efficient "weapon" when it comes to preventing substance abuse. Teachers inform their students about how can drugs and alcohol interfere with their day-to-day activities and the tremendous impact they have on one's health. Fortunately, there are various prevention principles that apply in junior high school which turn out to be highly effective.
Besides the fact that school administrators try to raise awareness among teenagers, they also inform both teachers and students about the consequences of drug abuse. Every high school has its own policy, but all high schools are obliged to notify the police if any illegal substances are discovered. The first substance abuse programs were initiated more than half a century ago, and they have been significantly improved throughout time.
Some of the most important and efficient substance abuse programs in high schools are "Just Say No!", "Keepin' it REAL" (which is among the top 3 most efficient programs) or D.A.R.E. (The Drug Abuse Resistance Education). Putting it in a nutshell, these programs teach students how to recognize the risks of substance abuse, how to refuse substance-related offers and how to build strong decision-making skills.
ith regards to the substance abuse programs in schools today, the most known programs include Narconon International (with more than 40 years of experience in the prevention of substance abuse) or SADD (acronym for Students Against Destructive Decisions). These programs not only focus on preventing substance abuse, but also on raising awareness regarding the dangers of drinking and driving. They promote responsible, healthy lifestyles.
The purpose of these substance abuse programs in high school is to help students make good decisions and avoid self-destruction, since substance abuse is extremely harmful in the long run. The programs also aim to prevent violence by providing positive role models. These prevention programs turned out to be highly effective, since the number of students that abuse substances has significantly decrease. Nonetheless, the results vary from one high school to another, due to the fact that every high school has its own substance abuse policy.
D.A.R.E., One Of The Main Substance Abuse Prevention Programs
At the moment, D.A.R.E. is undoubtedly one of the most known programs in the United States of America. As a matter of fact, recent studies have revealed the fact that D.A.R.E. is implemented in approximately three out of four high schools. The D.A.R.E. program was founded almost 30 years ago, back in 1983, and since then it has been teaching children how to fight substance abuse. "Keepin' it REAL", or simply "KiR", is the most effective evidence-based prevention program initiated by D.A.R.E. USA. Besides the fact that it is very efficient, this program turned out to be cost-effective as well.
SADD, A Program Against Risky Behavior
Basically, SADD aims to teach students the dangers of drinking and driving and how can substance abuse affect their lives. The program provides students efficient prevention tools that allow them to take the best decisions and avoid risky activities that can be life-threatening. SADD also supports funding for various mental health services and for anti-violence programs in high schools.
As stated above, Narconon is another highly important program that aims to prevent substance abuse in high schools. The program provides useful information regarding the side effects and social implications of drug consumption, and it teaches students how to resist external influences, whether they come from so-called friends or other people. The program focuses mainly on group discussions.
The Benefits Of Substance Abuse Programs
It is essential to teach students the dangers of substance abuse when they are young, to provide them quality principles for a healthy and happy life. This way, they are more likely to avoid smoking or drinking when they grow up. In other words, substance abuse education in junior high school is vital.
Prevention programs have numerous benefits. They not only warn students about the dangerous effects of substance abuse, but they also teach them how to develop essential decision-making skills that will help them fight drugs later in life. It must be mentioned, though, that the techniques and methods used in these prevention programs are different compared to the ones used several decades ago: they put emphasis on social skills and they help children become aware of the main misbeliefs regarding substance abuse.
To sum up, these are the basics of substance abuse prevention programs in high schools. They are highly effective and they come to support the substance abuse policy of every high school. Fortunately, there are many programs that focus on prevention nowadays, and the number of students that consume tobacco, alcohol and illegal substances are expected to drop even more in the following years.

If you wanted to cross the ocean by ship, you'd probably choose an engine-driven vessel over a sail-driven vessel. The engine will get you where you're going faster; it enables the ship to be much larger than it could be if it were driven by a sail; and it requires much less manual intervention to keep it going. Besides, you won't be at the mercy of unpredictable winds. In oceangoing vessels, the technological progression from sails to internal-combustion engines solved a great many problems while creating only a few new ones, such as the need to obtain and store significant quantities of fuel and the pollution that results from burning that fuel. Of course, since the planet is conveniently spherical, you're always a finite distance from the nearest port where you can fill up. If, on the other hand, you wanted to circumnavigate the globe without stopping for fuel, sails would be the way to go. The trip would take longer and the ship would be smaller, but you'd never have to worry about running out of gas.
This is the very thinking behind an ostensibly retro design for future spacecraft: by ditching the fuel and engines you can enable much longer journeys, albeit with some trade-offs. Outfit your ship with a giant sheet of lightweight and highly reflective material, and you've got a solar sail, a propulsion system that can take you to the distant reaches of the galaxy without any fuel—pushing you along with the gentle power of light from the sun.
What Goes Around
Solar sails are by no means a new idea. In fact, German astronomer Johannes Kepler floated the idea by Galileo in 1610. Kepler imagined "heavenly breezes," though, and had no concept of the scientific principles that would actually come into play. In 1871, James Clerk Maxwell, a Scottish physicist, predicted that electromagnetic radiation (including light) should exert a small amount of pressure when an object absorbs or reflects it; Russian physicist Peter Lebedev first demonstrated the effect in a laboratory in 1900.
A little more than 20 years later, another Russian physicist named Fridrikh Tsander proposed using this radiation pressure to push a spacecraft along using a large but very thin mirror. In the early 1970s, NASA funded research into solar sails, and for a while proposed that they be used to propel a probe that would rendezvous with Halley's Comet in 1986 (though the necessary technology turned out to be unavailable at the time). Today, NASA and numerous other groups are actively developing solar sail designs.
Light Pressure
The whole idea of light exerting pressure seems counterintuitive. I've personally stood in front of some very bright spotlights without so much as a wobble. And I know from my rudimentary understanding of physics that photons, the particles that make up light, have no mass. Nevertheless, under the right circumstances, light can indeed provide a push. The math, frankly, is beyond me, but according to scientists who seem to know what they're talking about and can back it up with impressive-looking equations, photons do indeed exert a gentle pressure on objects they hit—and the pressure is roughly twice as great if the object reflects the light than if it absorbs the light, so solar sails would effectively be giant mirrors. But the key word here is gentle. I've read various analogies for the strength of the sun's push, but one I particularly liked, on a NASA Web page, said that if you had a mirror the size of a football field, the pressure of the sun's light would be about the same as the weight of a first-class letter.
In space, a small amount of pressure will go much further, because other factors such as gravity, air friction, and wind won't get in the way. Even so, if a solar sail is going to push a spacecraft of any significant mass, it'll have to be enormous. And therein lies a problem: with greater size comes greater mass—not so much from the sail itself but from the support structure that's needed to keep it rigid and connect it to craft's payload. The greater the mass to be pushed, the greater the size of the sail that's needed, and so on. Thus, in solar sail design, thinner and lighter materials are almost always better. Sail thickness is measured in micrometres (µm)—millionths of a meter—with some being as thin as 2 µm. (By comparison, the average human hair is about 80 µm thick.) This brings up a second problem: fragility. You've got to fold or roll up a huge sheet of material that's a zillionth of an inch thick, get it into space, and then unfurl it perfectly—without ripping or mutilating it, and without creating a support structure so massive that it'll cancel out the sail's low mass. One promising material is a type of porous carbon fiber that's much thicker than the polymer films most researchers have used, and yet lighter in weight because of its unusual structure; it's also highly rigid, durable, and heat-resistant.
Still More Uses for the Force
Proposed solar sail designs have used a wide variety of shapes, from simple squares to disks to pinwheels. As with wind sails, you can change the angle of a solar sail in order to steer the craft; designs that incorporate numerous smaller sails provide greater directional control. But one thing you will not see is a solar sail shaped like a parachute—since light travels in straight lines, that would make for a highly inefficient design. Interestingly, that's exactly the shape of a fictional solar sail, one used by Count Dooku's spaceship in Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones.
Besides having an inappropriately shaped sail, that ship somehow managed to zip across the galaxy at a startling speed as soon as the sail unfurled. Real solar sails, because they generate so little force, accelerate quite slowly. On the other hand—and this is what makes them an intriguing option for long-term missions—the velocity continues to increase over time, there being no friction to counteract it. The result is that over a period of months or years, a craft powered by a solar sail could reach speeds far in excess of any rocket-powered design. However, as the craft gets farther and farther away from the sun, the radiation pressure also decreases, so it's not as though the rate of acceleration can continue to increase indefinitely. Even so, a vehicle with a very lightweight solar sail could reach the orbit of Pluto in about 7 years. (The Pioneer 10 probe, launched in 1972, took 11 years to reach that point.)
Sail On
So far, despite decades of extremely promising research, no solar sails have been successfully deployed in space as a primary propulsion system. A Russian spacecraft called Cosmos 1 would have been the first in June 2005, had its rocket not malfunctioned before the craft reached orbit. In 2004, Japanese scientists did successfully unfurl two prototype solar sails in orbit, though that was the extent of the test. Another Japanese solar sail, launched along with a satellite in early 2006, failed to open completely.
Nevertheless, space scientists are optimistic that solar sails will prove themselves soon. Among the missions envisioned for spacecraft propelled by solar sails are probes sent to explore the inner planets, monitoring stations near the sun, and deep-space exploration. Some proposals even use a giant laser here on Earth, instead of the sun, to push the craft along. Manned missions, however, are a much more distant possibility; a spaceship big enough to hold passengers would require an unfathomably gargantuan sail, and the slow acceleration would be rather inconvenient considering human lifespans. But if we ever encounter a ship sent a long time ago from a galaxy far, far away, it may very well have been carried along by a solar sail. —Joe Kissell

Hello, hello!
Last Friday, I was incredibly lucky to present as part of a panel of attempt survivors (with Craig Miller and Eduardo Vega) at the third annual Elevating the Conversation conference in Denver, CO. It was—and always is, when it happens—amazing to talk about my experiences and my work in a way that has the potential to influence future service providers to treat those of us who struggle with suicidal thoughts with a bit more compassion than we've historically been shown. I was also able to meet and photograph three incredible survivors from the Denver area. I can't wait to share their stories with you guys (but it's gonna be awhile before it happens). To top it all off, Doug and Kurt, from The S Word team, flew out and we did some filming! I'm really terrible in front of a camera—unless I can manage to forget it's there—and, luckily, they're very patient with me.
We closed the day out with a poem performed by Craig, and a slideshow of 75 of the portraits I've made for the project set to the LTT theme song, "Redeemed," by Charlotte Martin. It was apowerful day, and those last few moments really took it up to 11. When I got off the stage, I was all teary-eyed and shaky—but in a good way.
There's been some really nice press coverage of late:
- 15 Suicide-Attempt Survivors Tell Their Stories on Refinery29
- This Artist Is Changing the Way We Think About Suicide — One Photo at a Timeon Mic
- Live Through This: The Many Faces and Stories of Suicide Attempt Survivors onWomen You Should Know
All of these were really refreshing after a time suck of a courtship by a huge national magazinethat ended in me turning down the feature because they continually pushed me to share information I wasn't comfortable sharing. It was a painful experience that left me feeling emotionally manipulated and bullied in a way that seems wholly unique to large press outlets. I've felt it every single time I've dealt with one, and this was my third experience.
A big part of my mission these days is to change the focus of our conversations about suicide. I don't want to talk gory details, I want to talk about how these experiences affect us and what helps. While exposure for the project is always nice, I decided it wasn't worth compromising my principles again. Per the reporter, the editors would still like to run the piece—but only if I give them what they want, information which is in direct violation of the Recommendations for Reporting on Suicide (a good resource for all you bloggers and journalists out there). I'd much rather they made the choice to cover this story appropriately, as they claim to want to, but I'd also like to someday pay off my student loans—neither seems likely. I plan on writing more about this later, once I've done a little more processing.
In other news, I'll be speaking at the University of Kentucky in Lexington next Thursday afternoon from 5:30-7:30. It's free to the public, so if you're in the area, come on down.
In April, I'll be collecting stories and presenting at the American Association of Suicidology annual conference in Atlanta, as well as the National Council for Behavioral Health conference in Orlando, next month. I'll make one last stop in Toronto in May to present at the American Psychiatric Association conference, and then I'm taking the summer off to go on my HONEYMOON!
Thanks again for supporting the project. When I started four and a half years ago, I never thought that I'd have built such an incredible community of survivors and advocates, or that I'd find myself collaborating directly with the professionals, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity. There's still so much to do, but we've made a great leap in this past year, and I'm excited to see what happens next!

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat a grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small pot, melt the butter with the garlic and Sichuan peppercorns over low heat. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle over the brown sugar, and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, stir and remove from the heat. Toss the sweet potatoes in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and season with salt, to taste. Grill the sweet potato slices on both sides, achieving grill marks. Transfer the grilled rounds to a baking dish and spoon the garlic butter mixture over the sweet potatoes. Roast the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through.

My client are a small business and they recently got flooded by DDOS attack. The website is a ecommerce app and the company sells audio equipment. Who would have thought? But turned out the competition did not like them...
Anyways we were intially hosted with hostmonster on a shared virtual apache server. Upon attack hostmonster literally 'freaked out' and kicked us out. So we found inmotion hosting. They were far far more helpful and we took up dedicated hosting with them. But their machine too balked under the attack.
Now (in case this happens again in future)
- We are looking for a hosting company that is knowledegeable about DDOS attacks and not freak out when it sees one.
- Offers protection from such attacks and probably has router level filtering of bad packets.
Looking around it seems most companies charge a fortune for this. Frankly my client cant afford $1500 per month. Does anyone know of any good hosting providers that could help us? Alternatively, could we install stuff on our existing dedicated server to mitigate such attacks?

Jay has shared on his blogsite an unedited version of his
Forward to Curt Bonk and Charlie Graham's new book, The Handbook of Blended
Writing a forward to a book isn't that unusual or noteworthy (although I'm
still awaiting an invitation to join that club), but it *is* a bit unusual to
see that Jay has done so for a book on Blended Learning, since he has been a
pretty vocal critic of the term/concept over the years.
I found myself nodding my head in agreement on several of his "common
sense" observations and stances (especially the one on 'This Old House'
and on reading a bad book once, so giving up on reading entirely).

Allison Rossett defines Performance Consulting in her book, First Things Fast, as:
"Partnering with clients and customers to help them define and acheive their goals." She further explains that this involves obtaining several perspectives on the performance problem, determining all drivers of and barriers to effective performance, and proposing a solution system that is based on what has been learned not what has typically been done.
I had the opportunity to study with Allison while obtaining my MA in Educational Technology from San Diego State University. Her main stance was that we were providing business solutions to our clients, and that training isn't a silver bullet. We need to study the performance situation thoroughly and use data to drive our decisions about the need for training and it's subsequent design. We are also expected to design a solution system "the surround" that would ensure learning transfer and improve the performance of both the individual and the organization.
Most credit Thomas Gilbert as being the Father of Performance Consulting. His book entitled, Human Competence, was originally printed in 1978. In it he proposes several theorims and two tools: The Behavior Engineering Model (BEM) and The Performance Matrix. Consultants worldwide reference these tools with respect even as they modify them to fit today's world.
Carl Binder, a student of Thomas', has modified the BEM into what he calls The Six Boxes(TM). Note that each box is numbered and should be considered in sequential order:
1. Expectations and Feedback2. Tools and Resources3. Consequences and Incentives4. Skills and Knowledge5. Capacity (selection and assignment)6. AttitudeAllison calls these drivers and barriers. The first three relate to the organization / environment and the last three relate to the individual. Note that the only barrier that can be removed via training is number 4 - Skills and Knowledge. All others require different types of interventions (e.g. improved access to tools, alignment of incentives to performance goals, process redesign).
Unfortunately, many smart people rush to training and neglect the non-training interventions. By doing so, they diminsh the probability that training will improve performance in the long term.
Performance consulting is key if your aim is to link training expenditures to business results.
Do you agree? Do you have an alternate perspective you would like to share? Can you provide an example of when training might be the only intervention required?

Why Should i Advertise on ADROLL?
ADROLL is an advertising agency that specializes in remarketing. Remarketing is a form of advertising which targets people who have already visited your website but who left without making a purchase. This type of advertising, done properly, can raise conversion rates to as much as 50%, which is an increase of 150% above the normal conversion rate of between 10%-30%.
One of the biggest benefits of using Adroll retargeting is their immense reach—this agency is active in over 95% of all websites—including adroll Facebook retargeting. They also use technology to segment the population, retargeting those who look at clothing in a different way than they retarget someone looking at flights overseas.
Of course, all this flexibility involves dictating what you are looking for. The choices are monumental: there are settings for every type of person, location, specific types of environments, specific occupations, and so forth. Every choice needs to be made with the best outcomes possible in mind, or you may send an ad meant for a young lady in New York to a shiite pasha in Afghanistan. These are two very different people with different needs and outlooks on life and what would work for one would not work for the other.
How can Webindia Help in Building an Adroll Remarketing Campaign?
In this situation, our experts can help by recommending to you the proper steps and checkpoints that you need to use setting up your account. We will vet your account to make sure all the settings are optimized. We can also actually set up an account for you with your permission, and show you how we optimized it so that you can rest assured that your account is in good hands. This is part of the transparency practiced at Web India Inc.
Our experts are experienced in all aspects of optimizing accounts and our prime concern is for you and your profits. We will work to make certain that your ads generate the largest ROI possible, and we maintain the highest ethical standards and the greatest degree of transparency possible. We also have active hosting solutions and can design (or redesign) your website to be interesting, interactive, and easily navigable. So while Adroll is a good part of any multipurpose campaign, we at Web India, Inc., can complete the campaign and make it even more effective. That, way, you can get back to doing what you do best, while we take care of the rest.

LaMarcus Aldridge no longer is a member of the Portland Trail Blazers. And now, the same goes for assistant coach Kim Hughes just days after he made statements about Aldridge's likely departure.
Hughes was terminated, a league source told NBA.com, because of statements he last made about Aldridge's free agency.
Portland's president of basketball operations, Neil Olshey, confirmed Hughes' departure to The Oregonian Saturday. "We can confirm Mr. Hughes is no longer with the team," Olshey said. "It is our policy to otherwise refrain from commenting on personnel matters."
Hughes made his comments last week, before NBA free agency began July 1, in an interview with a television station from Terre Haute, Ind., while working at a basketball camp for Blazers big man Meyers Leonard in Robinson, Ill. Video of the interview was posted on WTHI's Web site Tuesday, a few hours before Aldridge officially was eligible to negotiate with any of the league's teams.
"Well, people don't realize we just went young," Hughes said in the interview. "We didn't publicize it, but we lost LaMarcus Aldridge. It hasn't been declared yet, but I'm sure he won't come back. We will go young."
Last week, Olshey denied reports that Aldridge had told the Blazers he would not be re-signing with the team, even as Hughes was indicating otherwise. In a matter of days, the core of the Blazers' roster has been overhauled: Aldridge reaching a verbal contract with the San Antonio Spurs, Nicolas Batum traded to Charlotte, Wesley Matthews agreeing to a free-agent contract with Dallas and center Robin Lopez heading to the New York Knicks.
Hughes, 63, had been a member of head coach Terry Stotts' staff since August 2012, working with the Blazers' big men. He previously worked as an assistant coach and scout for the Denver Nuggets, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Clippers. A 6-foot-11 center from the University of Wisconsin, Hughes played professionally in the ABA, NBA and Europe from 1975-1989.
Hughes has had several serious health issues in recent years, including a battle with prostate cancer in 2004 and a near-fatal intestinal condition requiring surgery in 2013. He currently has been diagnosed with pulmonary embolisms, the league source said.

The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 included a new adoption tax credit to stimulate more adoptions and lessen the population of children in less secure foster care placement. The law allows married couples filing a joint return to claim a credit for "adoption expenses" for an eligible child (a person under 18 years of age unable to care for himself or her? self) through 2001. Since 2001, the credit has been limited to children "with special needs," defined as a citizen or resident of the United States for whom the state has determined assistance is needed to effectuate an adoption—that is, someone the state cannot place. The credit is limited to necessary adoption fees, court costs, legal fees, and similar costs. It is not refundable; it may only be used to offset tax liability, and accordingly of no value to those who lack tax liability. A similar credit is available to an employer who pays such costs for an employee seeking to adopt.
The credit is limited to an income limit and a dollar limit. If any amount of qualifying expenses were taken into account in the past year for the same adoption, the dollar limit will be reduced by that amount. The income limit is based on the modified adjusted gross income (AGI). The credit will be reduced if the modified AGI exceeds that year's beginning phase out amount. The credit will be eliminated if the modified AGI exceeds the maximum phase out amount for the year.
Many states have special needs adoption tax incentive programs of their own. For special needs adoption, the federal tax credit depends on several different factors. You can only receive a credit against taxes you actually pay. In other words, if you have incurred $6000 for adoption and you paid $7,000 in income taxes, you can get as much as $6,000 of that back in a credit. But if you only paid $3,000 in income taxes and had adoption expenses of $4,000, you will only be able to receive a tax credit of $3,000.
Getting Started
When you contact the IRS, ask for Publication 968, Tax Benefits for Adoption, and for Form 8839, Qualified Adoption Expenses, and for any other tax-related publications that are currently available. Get the latest information the IRS has to offer and save those adoption-related receipts. You can download forms from the IRS Web site.

Spoiler Special: The Wind Rises
On the Spoiler Special podcast, Slate critics discuss movies—and the occasional TV show—in full, spoiler-filled detail. Below, Slate senior editor Dan Kois and film critic Dana Stevens discuss The Wind Rises, which may very well be the last film directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It recounts the life of aviation engineer Jiro Horikoshi, who helped design the fighter planes that Japan deployed to devastating effect in World War II. Besides marveling at the beautiful animation and stunning set pieces, Kois and Stevens debate a question that has vexed critics: Does this movie adequately grapple with the deadly legacy of his inventions? Does it elide the atrocities that Horikoshi's designs helped make possible?
Listen to them discuss all this and more below. You can also check out past Spoiler Specials in our archive, and you can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes. Note: As the title indicates, each installment contains spoilers galore.
