MOBILE -- Seantrel Henderson couldnt hide even if he tried. At 6-7, 331 pounds, hes one of the biggest guys in town.
So no, theres no blending in for Henderson, the University of Miami offensive tackle whos hoping for a shot in the NFL.
Its not his style, anyway. When it comes to the biggest factor holding back his draft potential character red flags Henderson doesnt shrink.
I was partying a little bit too much at times, Henderson said when asked to explain his three (at least) suspensions at UM.
I had got into trouble a couple of times for marijuana. I just put all that behind me.
Such candor is refreshing for anyone let alone someone trying to make the NFL. Honesty is key, Henderson said, when asked why he elected to discuss his past trouble with drugs.
Its not like those issues are a secret. Theyre a real concern for scouts and decision-makers as they set their draft boards. Some teams take character red flags off their draft board altogether.
Thats why this weeks all-star showcase is so important. Of course, Henderson needs to prove he has the physical goods to play in the NFL. (Stephen Morris, Hendersons teammate at both UM and the Senior Bowl, doesnt think thats a problem. Hes one of those amazing athletes that when he gets his hands on you, the plays over for you.)
But Henderson also needs to prove to scouts and coaches that he has matured with his deeds, not his words. This weeks all-star showcase is Step One.
Hendersons pedigree is well-known. He picked UM out of St. Paul, Minn., where he was the USA Today High School Offensive Player of the Year. But in his four years on campus, Henderson had setback after setback: suspensions, homesickness, back surgery, a car accident and the deaths of a family member and close friend.
In January 2013, after realizing his draft projection had not lived up to the previous hype, Henderson announced he would remain at UM. I do believe that Im a potential first-rounder, he said at the time.
He still believes it even if draft experts see him as more of a third-day project.
I want to be a starter and play in the NFL, he said Tuesday.
Daniel Jeremiah, a former scout whos now a draft analyst at NFL Network, said Henderson looked the part during his weigh-in.
But then came the inevitable caveat. Talented player with off-field baggage, Jeremiah said.
Henderson passed the eye test in other ways. Hes in the best shape of his life. He used to sport dreadlocks; now his hair is short.
And hes saying all the right things.
Granted, he did the same in August, swearing he had turned over a new leaf. Two months later, he was suspended again for violating a team rule.
But Morris believes there truly is a new Henderson.
From where he was, maturity-wise, his junior and sophomore years to the ability he showed on the field his senior year is a complete 180, Morris said. Thats going to keep going.
Added Morris: Unbelievable person. Hell make you laugh all day. Hell dance like crazy. Hes one of those guys that you want on your team. Hell fight, really be in the trenches and fight with you.
During the next four months, Henderson intends to prove that to all 32 NFL teams.
Thats why he plans to be on time to every meeting, work hard on every rep and answer any question that comes his way either from teams or the media.
I feel like just being honest with everybody and just let them know exactly what my problems were and that there are no longer any, he said.

To Jessica Johnson Moores husband, the old button-down shirts that no longer fit after he lost weight were little more than Goodwill material. But to Moore, the shirts still had value.
To him, each piece had lost its initial usefulness, but to me they had not lost their memory, she says. Though laundered countless times, they still smelled like him. I could close my eyes and picture him in each shirt; the fabric and patterns held significant memories in my mind. I wanted to figure out a way to give them new life.
So the architect who trained and taught at N.C. State turned her eye for design from buildings to fashion, and repurposed the cast-off shirts into dresses for the couples young daughter.
It was amazing how fast the learning curve was for me once I jumped in and got started, she says. I found there were many similarities between the process of making architecture and the process of making garments.
Pretty soon, Moores dresses sparked interest from others and her business, Little Grey Line, was born. Now Moore takes orders via her website, littlegreyline.com, for custom childrens dresses and tunics fashioned from mens shirts.
Moore creates garments in one of 17 styles offered on her site, and includes an image of the original shirt on the tag to preserve the memory of the garments former life. For many, these orders are a way to remember a loved one or commemorate a special moment.
One woman who ordered a dress wanted to surprise her husband, says Moore, recalling a past customer. His beloved grandfather had recently passed away, and she sent me one of his shirts and I transformed it for their daughter.
In the past year, Moores business has really started to grow, and shes gotten attention at events such as the recent Redress Eco-Fashion Show and fashionSPARK 2013. Right now, Moore plans to continue her custom services, but she hopes to expand the line in the future.
I love the custom aspect of Little Grey Line that each dress is sentimental, in some way, to the person for whom I am making it, she says. I always plan to maintain this service, as it is the foundation of Little Grey Line, but I also hope, as my children get a little older and I am able to carve out more time to design and sew, that I will be able to produce stock dresses and get those out into the retail market.

The name "Italy" is shrouded in mystery; some etymologists trace it to a Greek word meaning "the land of young cattle."
Italy was fond of Jupiter and Mars from the very start, Jupiter for fatherly good luck and Mars for war!
But it all began with Rome. Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus who were sons of Rhea and Mars.
The twins were abandoned at birth out of a fear that they would grow up and later overthrow Amelius, usurper of their grandfather's rightful throne.
Wrongful mis-doings most foul! Treachery and sabotage!! HOW would these two blessed infants make their way in such a world?
As it turns out, the twins didn't have to make their way very far, because one of them killed the other one and then they weren't twins anymore. But that happens later.
First they got rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them with her milk and raised them as her own until they were discovered by the shepherd Faustulus.
Faustulus fed them meat and bread and also raised them as his own until they were old enough to return to Amelius and hack him up as planned. They reinstated the grandfather Numitor to his rightful throne and went off to celebrate by starting a town of their own.
They chose a hilly area where the mama wolf had saved them from certain death in the barren wilderness and began scouting locations.
Romulus liked one hill. Remus liked another. The circle of crows like Romulus' hill, so Romulus killed Remus and named the town after himself. Thus Rome was born and Italy with it.

Children enjoy half-term bake at Winchester City Mill
10:28am Monday 25th February 2013 in News
FOR most children half-term is a chance to take a break from learning.
But several children enjoyed a hands-on lesson in bread baking at Winchester City Mill last Wednesday (Feb 20).
Miller Robert Goodwin showed the children how the mill works and each step involved in the bread-making process.
It is a rare example of a working urban corn mill, powered by the fast-flowing River Itchen.
The mill has been on site since 1743, where it remained in use until the early 20th Century.
It was then taken over by The National Trust and resumed grinding flower in March 2004.
Last year it attracted more than 40,000 visitors with the mill crediting the boom to TV-inspired home baking and interest in local food.

If you find yourself with leftover panettone after the holidays, transform it into this delicious bread pudding, or budin de paneton. Panettone has a complex fruity/floral flavor, thanks to the mysterious fiori di sicilia extract that is part of the traditional Italian recipe.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour

Uterine Fibroids Diagnosis

If further studies are indicated, the doctor may choose one of the following tests to help decide if the patient has fibroids and to exclude other and potentially more serious causes of ongoing symptoms:

GOMEZ ADDS GR. III DAYTONA ON 39th BIRTHDAY, UPSET LEADS TO PICK SIX CARRYOVER OF $120,599
ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 1, 2011) – Garrett Gomez, whose working 39th birthday had begun by riding Spring Style to a major upset in the earlier Grade II, $150,000 Robert J. Frankel Stakes, returned later on Santa Anita's Saturday program to score with 8-1 upsetter Dilemma in the Grade III, $100,000 Daytona Stakes at 6 ½ furlongs on turf.
The result in the eighth of nine New Year's Day races ensured a Pick Six carryover of $120,599 into Sunday's nine-race program that begins at 12:30 p.m. The Pick Six sequence will begin with the fourth race.
Gomez rallied Glen Hill Farm's Dilemma on the extreme outside to outfinish 3-1 Quick Enough by 1 ¼ lengths after the pair had overhauled 2-1 Regally Ready in midstretch.
Winless in his previous five starts for trainer Tom Proctor, Dilemma covered the distance in 1:12.28 and paid $19.60, $7 and $4.60. Quick Enough, with Patrick Valenzuela in the saddle, returned $4.40 and $3.40 while Regally Ready, ridden by Joel Rosario, paid $3.20.
"When I got him outside," Gomez said of the winner, "he came home well and finished really good. He's seven, and hopefully coming into his prime now, but apparently he hasn't lost a step."
Dilemma's purse earnings of $60,000 increased his career total to $366,656 from a record of 6-5-3 in 22 starts for the stable of Leonard Lavin.

What Is Man That Thou Art Mindful?
September 15--16, 2006"When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers….what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor….O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth." (Psalm 8: 3-9, NIV.)
What is man? Good question! Is man unique in the created order of things or, as neuro psychologist Michael Gazzaniga puts it when opining about the living human embryo, "That thing in a petri dish.
The Bryan Center for Critical Thought and Practice will address the essential question of the meaning of man in its September seminar as prologue to its November symposium on bioethics. If one can come to terms with the initial question, addressing the second will necessarily follow.
Dr. Michael Bauman, Professor of Theology and Culture and Director of the Christian Studies Program at Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Mich.
Dr. Bauman earned his Ph.D. in theology and English literature at Fordham University and his M.A. in New Testament and church history at McCormick Theological Seminary. A prolific writer, Dr. Bauman is the author of 19 books, among them, Milton's Arianism, and Roundtable: Conversations with European Theologians. His keynote topic will be "The First Adam and the Second."
Dr. Dennis Hollinger, Professor of Christian Ethics and President, Evangelical Theological Seminary, Myerstown, Pa.
Dr. Hollinger received the B.A. from Elizabethtown College, the M.Div. from Trinity Evangelical Theological School and the M. Phil. and the Ph.D. from Drew University. He has done post-doctoral studies at Oxford University. He has authored 60 articles in ethics, particularly bioethics. He sits on the Health Care Ethics Committee at Holy Spirit Hospital in Camp Hill, Pa., and is a fellow with the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity in Bannockburn, Ill. His topic will be "Choosing the Good," which is the title of one of his recent books.
Dr. Doug Kennard, Professor of Bible, Theology, and Philosophy, Bryan College, Dayton, Tenn.
Dr. Kennard received the B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell University, the Th.M in biblical and systematic theology at Dallas Theological Seminary, the M.A. in philosophy of religion and history at Trinity Theological Seminary and the Th.D. in biblical and systematic theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. Among his books are Deliverance Now and Not Yet: The New Testament and Great Tribulation. (Peter Land, 2003) and The Relationship Between Epistemology, Hermeneutics, Biblical Theology and Contextualization (Mellen Press, 1999). His topic will be "Image and Soul."
- Fr. Thomas Berg, Executive Director of the Westchester Institute for Ethics & The Human Person, Thornwood, NY. Dr. Berg earned the B.A. at The University of the State of New York, the Ph.B. at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, the M.A. in Liberal Studies at Wesleyan University, and the Ph.D. in philosophy at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome. His topic will be "What Makes Man Moral?" in the framework of Psalm 8:5, "You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings...." Fr. Berg's focus will be a distillation of the Christian anthropology implicit in the Psalm in Aristotelian-Thomastic terms.

Corporate Legal Rights Grow As Courts Block Pro-Consumer Class Action Suits
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
One year after a U.S. Supreme Court decision gave corporations free rein to block class action lawsuits, judges have used the decision to prevent at least 76 potential class-action suits from going forward, a new report by Public Citizen and the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) has found.
The report, " Justice Denied," tracks the anti-consumer effects of AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, in which the Supreme Court ruled that corporations could block consumers' rights to sue collectively—even in the 19 states that have laws protecting such rights.
What began as a dispute over $30 between Vincent and Liza Concepcion and AT&T has turned into a legal monster worth millions of dollars to corporate bottom lines. The corporate lawyers and the court put profits before people, and a year later, we are seeing the ripple effects, as people seeking fairness are losing their legal rights.
The report details three cases in which consumers have felt the direct impact of the ruling:
• Class Actions Against Career Education Corporation (CEC). Before Concepcion, thousands of students collectively sued Career Education Corp., a company that owns a chain of for-profit culinary schools, for misrepresenting the potential earning power of its graduates. The misleading numbers enticed many students to enroll and thus take on debilitating student loans to finance their education. According to the lawsuits, students attending the schools typically emerged with debts in excess of $40,000 and were not able to obtain jobs that paid enough to provide a reasonable chance of repaying their loans. At the time of the lawsuits, CEC did not include a class-action ban in its contracts with students. The collective cases proceeded in court and resulted in payments of up to $20,000 per student. While these cases, filed before Concepcion, achieved a meaningful settlement, other cases are still pending. In a post- Concepcion era, however, students with similar collective claims may not be able to pursue redress because it would be too difficult to overcome the class-action ban the company now includes in its contracts.
• Putative Class Action Against Nissan. Matthew Wolf, a member of the Army reserves, returned an automobile before the expiration of his lease because he was deployed overseas. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) clearly permits service members to terminate car leases without penalty and to recoup the pro-rated share of payments they have made in advance. But Nissan refused to reimburse the prepaid amount to the reservist. He sought a class-action lawsuit on behalf of an estimated 1,000 service members in similar situations. But, citing Concepcion, a judge ruled that he could pursue redress only for himself, not on behalf of a class.
• Putative Class Action Against T-Mobile. Trent Alvarez's frequent use of his so-called "unlimited" data plan triggered T-Mobile to slow down his service. T-Mobile had inserted a forced arbitration agreement into the contract it required Alvarez to sign when he bought the phone, but he said he never saw it and filed a class-action complaint against T-Mobile in 2009. The company convinced the judge to suspend the case until Concepcion was decided; the court then rejected Alvarez's argument that the class-action ban in the arbitration agreement was unenforceable.
These examples are among the dozens of instances documented in the report by Public Citizen and the NACA, revealing that the decision already has left consumers worse off. Other areas where class-action suits have been restricted include cases against payday lenders, debt collectors and banking institutions.
Technically, the court authorized companies to block class-action lawsuits by permitting them to include class-action bans in the forced arbitration clauses of their contracts. Those clauses dictate that any dispute must be settled in a private arbitration forum. By itself, the use of forced arbitration is plainly unfair for many reasons. Typically, corporations outsource the settlement of these disputes to private arbitration companies that have little intention of redressing fair grievances.

Town Square
Why we should question raising kids here....
Original post made by The Reverend on Apr 15, 2012
On my route home, there's a man that stands on the corner and sells strawberries. Nice man. Clean, respectful, even keeps his items for sale stacked nicely. I've actually stopped and purchased some. They're from a local farm; Man are they tasty. Ten times better than Safeway, at 1/4 the price.
So today... ya.. THREE, count the, THREE, police cars there. Hassling the guy. Neighbor out of his house, with one of the cops talking from a distance. The guy selling the strawberries is pleading his case to the Policeman, which is TOWERING over him in a physically controlling manner. Which I can understand, as strawberries can be SERIOUSLY dangerous. Imagine if that guy got to the berries before the 3 cops with 9mm's, and 3 shotguns. It could be a berry bath. As I approached the stop sign, it seems they are waiting for a 4th car to take the man (selling the DEADLY BERRIES) to jail. THIS is what you want our police doing? This is what you want to raise you children around? Are we SO sterile that someone selling berries on the corner should be removed by the police? I like strawberries. And his are better!!! What if that was a 12 year old danville kid, would it be a problem? Oh wait, it's the lack of permit, the man did not have one I bet? Right... unlike the Girl Scouts that VIOLATE EVERY CHILD LABOR LAW KNOWN TO MAN, but they're cute... I get it, my bad...
BTW -- I live across from a park, to which I have watched kid after kid after kid purchase drugs in cars night after night. I've called the police a dozen times. Is there a cop car sitting on my street at night? NOPER... but GOD DAMN THOSE STRAWBERRIES!!!! NOW we'll teach em!!!.. This is NOT a rant against the police. Someone CALLED them. Clearly!!! SOMEONE CALLED THE COPS TO STOP THE DANGEROUS SALE OF BERRIES!!!!.. Drugs sold from a danville resident under cover of night is ok, and or not really happening, cause your little ones that live HERE don't do drugs.
This is Danville. And I live here. And love it here, for the most part.. but this is NOT NOT NOT how you should raise your kids. These are bad lessons that will cause the issues later Danville. You know why? You're not wealthy enough to help them be this way. If you where you wouldn't live here. So my proof is, you live here.. So GROW UP!! Teach your children to be accepting....
With love Danville.
on Apr 15, 2012 at 3:58 pm
"Reverend": If these are the same guys that have been selling strawberries and other fruits near the entrance to Sycamore, I am glad that the police finally told them to move their produce stand. I live near by, and this is a residential neighborhood, with alot of children who ride their bikes, and these guys actually go into traffic and are aggressive in trying to sell their produce, creating a dangerous intersection. If they want to sell their produce, go to the farmers market on Saturday, and follow the rules and regulations that everyone else has to follow, and do not just take over a residential neighborhood, without following the ordinances and regulations that apply to everyone else.
If the police ignore these guys, whats to stop other "merchants" from taking over our residential neighborhood and selling t-shirts, watches, and other unregulated items. By the way, one of the reasons we regulate selling of produce is so health inspectors can moniter the product, and make sure there are not illegal pesticides and fruit flies coming into our neighborhood. These gypsy produce guys follow no regulations or rules, just set up tent in our neighborhood, and who knows what pesticides or fruit flies they are dumping on our town. They also do not pay taxes or fees, which is unfair to their competitors who run legitimate farms and follow rules and regulations.
Danville also has an increase of car thefts and other property crimes, and I have noticed an increase of peddlers and other strangers going thru the neighborhood allegedly trying to sell things, while possibly just casing the neighborhood. The best way to prevent this type of crime is having neighbors call and report suspicious people who do not live in the neighborhood.
So, to answer your question, this is EXACTLY why we choose to raise our children in Danville, because the town and the police teach our children that everone has to play by the rules and regulations that serve to protect us, and they do not turn the other way and ignore violations to our communities health and safety. Thank you, Danville police, for enforcing the laws.
Reverend, if you want delicious, fresh, clean, and fruit fly free produce, I suggest you check out the legal and regulated Farmers Market downtown on Saturday. These merchants are following the law and should be rewareded for that, unlike the gypsy produce guys that illegally set up tent and think the laws do not apply to them.
on Apr 15, 2012 at 7:54 pm
Indeed, we are beyond the days of peddling the fruits of our labors (pardon the pun - I could not resist) sans the ever necessary permits. As much as it seems harmless, if there are vendors who abide by the rules and purchase the permit to sell at Farmer's Market, should we reward those who set up shop without following the rules? Isn't this unfair to those who do?
As much as I want to stand up for the guys who take the initiative to sell on the corner (I've driven by them several times, and have seen the police talking to them also) my gut tells me that the money they receive likely goes to someone else - maybe the person who dropped them there much like the folks selling magazines who I can't seem to get off my porch.

Cuccinelli Doesn't Understand Vote Maneuver He's Challenging
by Jonathan Singer, Thu Mar 18, 2010 at 01:18:19 PM EDT
Earlier today on MSNBC, Virginia's ultra conservative Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (don't say we didn't warn you about him a long time ago) explained why he believes the self-executing rule by which the House intends to pass the healthcare reform legislation already approved by the Senate at the same time as it passes a reconciliation bill fixing the Senate legislation is unconstitutional. I have already written about how this argument is more or less bunk. But it's worth adding that listening to Cuccinneli speak, it's not clear that he understands at all what a self-executing rule entails. Here's what he had to say:
They can do a number of procedural things to vote on it in ways that might be different than usual. But ultimately the record has to reflect that the Members of the House are voting on the same language -- even if they vote on something else at the same time, perhaps (that's an angle that we hear batted around) -- as the Senate bill.
What Cuccinelli highlights as a constitutionally sound mechanism of voting is in effect exactly what the House intends to do -- hold a majority vote on both the Senate bill as well as fixes to the Senate bill at the same time. As leading Congressional scholar Thomas Mann recently put it, such a rule would "make clear that the vote on the reconciliation package is in effect also a vote on the underlying Senate bill."
So if Cuccinelli intends to file suit, he might want to brush up on the legislative rule he's claiming to be improper.

Win Your Copy: Pragmatic Thinking & Learning: Refactor Your Wetware
Reviewer RatingsRelevance:
Buy it now
One Minute Bottom Line
If you design and/or develop software then you should buy this book and read it right away.
1 Introduction
This is chapter does a nice job of introducing you to the book and giving you an idea of what to expect in the chapters that follow. While this book isn't specifically for programmers, Andy assumes that most of the readers are either programmers or "frustrated users" and takes the opportunity to talk about his view on why software development is difficult to do properly and what this book can do to correct the problem.
2 Journey from Novice to Expert
This chapter introduces you to the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition and uses it to explain the five levels of skill mastery you'll go through on the way from being a novice to an expert. It also discusses some of the problems that arise when the people designing processes do not understand the difference between levels, and why giving a novice a tool won't make them as good as an expert.
3 This Is Your Brain
You get your first peek at the brain and an introduction to the model of how it works that is used throughout the rest of the book. Andy also introduces to the two styles of thinking the brain uses; the Linear and Rich modes. Andy prefers using these descriptions instead of the more traditional "Left brain" and "Right brain" because it is "more correct." (If you want to know why, find a copy of the book and read the sidebar on page 58.) For now think of Linear mode as being like a computer (logically a following instructions step by step), and Rich mode as using intuition to go beyond your "programming" and begin "thinking outside the box."
In any case, Andy provides some ideas on what each mode excels at and a way to begin refactoring your wetware.
4 Get in Your Right Mind
This is one of the longer chapters in the book and focuses on Rich mode thinking; what it is, how to encourage it, and how to integrate it with our more often used Linear mode of thought. It also includes several interesting exercises to help you experience R-mode thinking.
5 Debug Your Mind
Chapter five offers the opportunity to look at many of the known bugs in the human brain. These include the following:
- Cognitive biases - things that unconsciously sway your decision making.
- Generational affinity - biases formed as you grew up. This bug is called "generational" because people in the same generation share many of the same biases.
- Personality tendencies - the quirky things that make perfect sense to you but seem odd or confusing to others.
- Hardware bugs - things in the "legacy brain" (as Kathy Sierra refers to it) that operate at a very low level; for example fight or flight behavior, and the need to know where we fit in the social hierarchy. These biases are very powerful but once you're aware of them, it is possible to take steps to counteract them or at least notice when they're operating and try to take them into account and minimize they're effect on you.
6 Learn Deliberately
Here's where you start to learn about learning; what it is, the difference between effective and ineffective learning methods, and some techniques (like having SMART goals, creating a Pragmatic Investment Plan for your "knowledge portfolio", "learn by teaching", and using a mind map) that you can use to make your learning sessions more efficient and effective.
7 Gain Experience
Experiential learning, aka learn by doing, is one of the most effective ways to learn something. It's how you learn most things (like riding a bike or programming a computer) and there are things you can do to make your learning environment more efficient. You'll also learn about the importance of failing and the need for good feedback.
8 Manage Focus
You may find this may be hard to believe, but it's harder for you to learn new things when you're constantly being interrupted. This chapter points out some of the most common interruptions and ways of minimizing or eliminating them so you can focus your attention on what you are trying to learn. Andy also shows you how to use a Wiki as an Exo-Cortex so you can capture and manage information instead of losing it.
9 Beyond Expertise
Now that you know all this stuff, what are you going to do about it? This chapter acknowledges that sometimes it is difficult to make changes and offers some suggestions on how to get started with debugging and refactoring your wetware.

Another way to really learn something well that you're interested in is to set a goal to write an article about it, or to volunteer to make a presentation about it (or both). If it's about an open source framework or tool, have the tool author proofread your article, as this benefits both of you greatly -- you learn even more and the information about the tool is sure to be correct.
Craig Dickson replied on Thu, 2009/04/23 - 2:11pm
I have found that collaborative learning can be productive.
Whenever I am working with a team that is attempting to adopt a new technology, the first thing I do is create a learning schedule based on a book usually and encourage people to commit to present one chapter in each session.
That way each person is at least on the hook to learn one chapter really well. However, I have found that most people put the effort in to read each chapter so that they can participate in the conversations.
Pascal Lalonde replied on Thu, 2009/04/23 - 3:36pm
On my side, I found out that my learning curve is good when I stimulate myself to new content. Since a year or so, I now take time during the day to read and browse about new things, new methods. And this is how I ended up here.
Also, during development, if I get to a point were I'm getting close to a new concept. I take a break and get documentation about it and try to find best practices that will guide me through the process.
Burk Hufnagel replied on Thu, 2009/04/23 - 9:15pm
I'm glad to see so many of you sharing the things that help you to learn.
One of my favorites it to volunterr to teach whatever it is so that I have extra motivation - not only do I have to learn it, but I have to know it well enough that I can describe it to someone else in such a way that it makes sense to them too.
John Lindwall replied on Fri, 2009/04/24 - 1:01am
Maybe I'm getting old or maybe it was the stress of the new job, but I found my retention of new knowledge to be less then it used to be. What helped me was writing down what I learned, almost as though I was writing the manual for the subject I was learning. Some of this information I have since added to the corporate wiki to share with others. It gives me a place to review my knowledge and refine it as I learn more details.
My latest challenge was learning git which was quite frustrating at first. My initial approach was "learn by doing" but that quickly got me in trouble. I realized that I needed to learn the core concepts by reading books and articles before I could apply them. This reduced my frustration and made me successful at "learning by reading and then doing".
Gian Franco Casula replied on Fri, 2009/04/24 - 6:34am
...what helps for me is repetition, not in the first sense that comes in mind, but more like repetitive poking a (hard) subject from different perspectives, reading different articles, books etc...
Another effective way of learning for me is having an audience (of one person is enough) to explain things to...
But by far the best way is listening to presentations (when available), and mentally mapping the insights given to the concepts I learn from a book...that's why I love youtube, google techtalks, infoq, etc. etc.

I learn through experience so I generally like to make small project for myself and dive right in with a new technology. Here are a few things I do to help me with this
- Blog Posts: See what other users have tried and try to avoid any pitfalls they might have found.
- Documentation: Documentation has come a long way on projects, for example, both jQuery and Spring have great examples and can easily be cut/paste to get you going.
- Have a clear goal: With larger technologies, setting a clear goal upfront has helped me stay on track with learning a particular piece rather than just wandering around an API
- Boiler Plate: If I'm going to be playing with various technologies in the same domain, I like to setup a few things ahead of time so I don't have to keep writing the same pieces over and over
Xianghui Dong replied on Fri, 2009/04/24 - 6:01pm
There are different learning situations for me. If I learn by practical needs, I will just find the quickest method to solve my problem, that usually start from some good google search phrases. Depends on the case of the teniques, sometimes I'll spend more times to get a better understanding. For example, I knew regular expressions can be very useful, once I decided to devote some time after many cases in which regular expressions can really help, I can read and understand it better. When the basics are grasped, regular expressions are not difficulties anymore.
If I learn by interest, there are often enough time for me to learn systematically. I'll start from introductionary articles, then maybe some good books. This could be a long time task, so I'll make notes on details I found, and outline what I got, thus I can pick them up quickly later. I also will try to use them as much as I can, such as Groovy, which make regular scripting task a really treat.

(this topic/competition is soooo much better than the usual "say how good our book is, and maybe win a copy". kudos)
i find that I don't learn something properly unless I use it "in anger". i have to have a meaty, tough problem to solve and one that lets me see the value of the subject/language/technology being learnt.
p.s. I have a copy of the book, please don't consider me for the copy...
Chuck Bedekovich replied on Mon, 2009/04/27 - 8:14pm
All along, from my early days "learning" to code, through my more experienced years "improving" my skills up through today, I have relied on asking myself one very simple question, then adapting my behavior to whatever happened to be the answer to the question:
"What happens if I do this?"
Whatever "this" turns out to be, whether it is a new piece of code, a change to existing code, trying to code an algorithm in a new language, working with new hardware or software, any and everything - trying and then experiencing the results of that trial has taught me the most - and in so many different ways.
I am now a Certified Scrum Master, working towards Certification as a Scrum Practicioner, and am doing so because Agile and Scrum have embraced *my* philosopy of "What happens if I do this?" Empirical rather than predictive, "inspect and adapt", ask the team rather than know (or presume to know) all the answers.
What could be more rewarding and more fun?

my answer is "wasting time".
i explain that. the way modern comunication works. reading an excerpt, sometimes just a title, other times a little more.
micro-reading. passive reading. feed titles.
they are all convenient ways to stimulate half-passively my brain. it's just like when you learn secret "adult" stuff when you are a pre-teen. you do'nt ask. just listen to a few words. try to figure. start to use the words without a true comprehension. until you find your self knowing these ideas as you had always known them.
i think that i don't always want to open a new thick book. but if i read useful concepts as i read comic strips while having breakfast, well, i'm learning without even know that.
Marcelo Lopez replied on Sun, 2009/05/03 - 5:20pm
For me, what helps is to take a problem based approach. Tackle a concrete example of something you'd encounter in a "real life" situation. Not just some abstract concept about some technology product or language. Putting the concept that's being conveyed into a meaningful context to the issues and problems that are faced in the day-to-day flow of work, has always made more sense to me.

Hi gang,
Sorry for the delay in getting the free copies out to folks, but we're getting back on track.
I've entered the names of everyone who's posted a comment on this review - with the exception of Wei Ling (Community Manager for DZone), Anrew McVeigh (asked not to be included) and me (author) - and entered them into a program I call the FickleFingerOfFate, whick picked three names using the best random numbers money can buy.
The winners should have all been contacted by now, but I'm posting the names here so you can all marvel at their winningness. Congratulations to sonica, sellingerd, and Jim Bethancourt! If you haven't been contacted by a DZone representative yet, please email me and I'll get things straightened out.
Thanks for all the posts! Even though the contest is over, it's OK to keep posting your thoughts, ideas, and questions.

1. OPEN EYES, EARS, MIND: Keep updated about new technologies by using various means like blobs, RSS feeds, forums, newsletters, popular sites like DZone, peer network, Googleing
2. KNOW IT. TRY IT: Use Google to search about What's New, HOW-TO, Get Started tutorials, technology provider's dedicated website and start reading and experimenting
3. BENCHMARK. OWN EVALUATION: Try new technology in sandbox project. Understand pros and cons. Compare it with old and latest competing technologies and understand which one to use in given scenario. Discuss with peers, netizens. Use questions and polls to know what others think about it.
4.UNBIASED: Don't get obsessed with particular technology category (Java vs. .NET), vendor, OS platforms (windows vs. *nix). See the real strengths and weaknesses of technology. Don't be devotee.
5. UNLEARN: Technologies become better and better. Unlearn older ways to use given technology and learn the latest ones.
6. TEACH WHAT YOU KNOW: I order to teach others, I need to master the technology. Thus I learn a lot. In process of teaching, I also learn from others.
7. ITS MIND GAME: Last but not the list. Keep my mind young ever. Learning happens in mind. Learning is continuous thing. Never quit it.

Council reaction to setback
Cllr Phil Twiss from East Devon District Council :
"When we arranged for the material to be diverted to Port Royal, we knew there was a chance it could be washed away in a storm. We said at the time that it was a calculated risk. Unfortunately, nature has had the last laugh this time".

The Bossier City Council has unanimously approved the use of $7M in riverboat gaming funds to pay for the construction of new roads designed to provide traffic relief in and around a proposed high-end Kroger development off of Airline Dr.
It's all part of Kroger's plan to bring a new 124,000 square foot store to Bossier City. It would be the first of its kind in Louisiana, but it would come at a price.
The proposed traffic relief road would extend from what is currently a dead end at Plantation Drive then cut north toward Viking Drive. The proposed development will be built on the lot between Home Depot and Walmart on Airline Drive.
There was little discussion before the measure approving the funds for proposed infrastructure was passed early Tuesday afternoon. Bossier City Director of Finance Joe Buffington predicts it will take about 5 to 6 years to make the $7 million back in sales taxes.
District 5 councilman Tommy Harvey believes the money will be well worth it, "When we bring a large entity like this to our area, we bring sales tax money with it," he said.
Huddleston says the Kroger Marketplace will be the first of its kind in Louisiana, a one-stop shopping destination and upscale grocery store. The company touts it as "the only store you need for Home Fashion and Décor, Bed and Bath, Kitchen and Small Appliances, Home Office and Toys."
"There are a couple of reasons why we wanted to bring a Kroger Marketplace to Bossier City, number 1 is growth in the area, number 2 is the availability of an outstanding site off Airline Drive," Huddleston also cites the city's cooperation as to why they picked the location.

Gearing up

Strauss pulled his headband tight. The thick scar underneath throbbed, but that usually ended quickly. Hunched over his cot in his garrison quarters, the captain buckled his boots and collected his daggers. A day had passed since the falconry school brats and Manfred's gang had left the constable's watchful eye, and neither party had returned. Which meant that captain Strauss would have to lead a posse into the country and find out what happened.
He had some respect for Asher and the priests, but he knew that there would be vengeance if the aristocrats had been killed. So he hoped for the aristocrats' safety. After all, winter was coming, and there had been more and more sightings of evil creatures in the village: vampires and wolves. So Strauss was not in a mood to deal with angry nobles.
Outside now, the captain briefed his posse, mentioning the need for safety - since the potential for murderous deeds was afoot. They agreed to the objective of capturing first and asking questions later. Then the leaders mounted their horses, dressed in full chainmail and bearing the crest of the village - a falcon in red and blue. The search for missing persons would be cold, but not fruitless.

When the game between the St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen and Bradford Owls was postponed on Wednesday afternoon, the Elk County Catholic Crusaders and Kane Wolves took advantage of the open field at Berwind Park and moved their matchup there due to reportedly poor field conditions in Kane. The Wolves remained the home team in the contest, but that did not matter to the Crusaders, who scored in every inning but the fifth to claim a 10-0 shutout in six innings.
Abbey Bauer threw a no-hitter and the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders put together 15 runs to defeat the Kane Lady Wolves 15-0 in a three inning contest on Wednesday afternoon at Benzinger Park.
The St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen and Hollidaysburg Golden Tigers had every intention of playing baseball on Monday afternoon at Berwind Park. Unfortunately, the weather did not agree with those plans.

An infield single by Justin Eckert with the bases loaded in the home half of the seventh inning gave the St. Marys Area Flying Dutch a 3-2 victory over the Brookville Raiders Wednesday at Berwind Park.
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders were one strike away from starting their season 0-2 after giving up the lead late in Wednesday afternoon's contest against the Curwensville Lady Tide. Instead, a single by Michaela Cashmer drove in pinch runner Emily Evers to send the game into extra innings tied at 6-all. With the momentum back in their favor, ECC was able to keep Curwensville off the board in the top of the eighth and drive in the winning run in the home half of the inning to pick up their first win of the season, 7-6.
The St. Marys Area track and field teams opened their dual meet season Tuesday by playing host to the Punxsutawney squads.

Horse meat scandal leads to 30% trade boost for butcher
10:00am Friday 22nd February 2013 in News By James Nadal
A BUTCHER says the horse meat scandal led to a 30 per cent increase in his trade last week.
Bernie Longhurst, whose business operates in Brucewood Parade, Marlow Bottom, said more people are coming to him for their meat having lost trust in supermarkets.
And he has used humour to attract more interest, displaying signs outside the shop saying 'home made burgers 100% beef no added salt or shergar' and 'no horsing around'.
He told the MFP: "I was up 30 per cent last week and I hope it continues. The customers all say the same - 'we're not going to shop there anymore (the supermarket) we want to know where it comes from'."
A Europe wide investigation was sparked after horse DNA was discovered in frozen ready meals sold at supermarkets, with a string of products, some sold by big names in the industry, also then found to be affected as well.
Mr Longhurst was unsurprised by the revelations to some extent because he has long wondered how such cheap meat products could be offered.
He said: "I've been doing this 40 years. Butchers have known throughout the years it costs money to breed an animal, a farmers has got his overheads, vet bills, insurance etc, it all comes at a price.
"At the end of the day you get what you pay for. To make proper burgers unfortunately it comes at costs, if you want to cut corners that's what you get. How can you make six burgers for £1 as some shops have offered?"
The key difference his shop offers is that everything is traceable, he said, adding he believes the scandal so far is just the tip of the iceberg.
Kerry Grant, 40, a housewife, from Marlow Bottom stopped off at the store after being amused by the signs outside, She said: "I loved it, it was hilarious. It made me pull over to have a look, it's very good and it made my day."
Of the scandal, she said: ""There's no doubt in my mind that we've eaten horse at some point.It disgusts me to be honest, horses are beautiful so it makes me sick to my stomach. I'll definitely be using the butchers and wont be buying supermarket products until this is sorted."

The question should be.. why should we not trust him?
Besides you really can tell good quality minced beef steak as opposed to the rubbish that is served up in these burgers and ready meals.

All the gripe and moaning humans are doing is because they were NOT TOLD about this problem, horse meat is perfectly edible and has been for thousands of years, so why start moaning now? just make a visit to 'China town in London' and see the variety of animals and birds they cook and eat.

Pierce part of latest Sox postseason
A member of the '59 Go-Go Sox, former hurler tosses first pitch
CHICAGO -- Billy Pierce leaned on the rail of the home dugout at U.S. Cellular Field on Tuesday night and looked around at the media spectacle taking place as the White Sox took batting practice before Game 1 of the American League Championship Series.
"It's great to have this excitement back here again, isn't it?" Pierce said with a smile.
The former Sox pitcher knows a thing or two about being a part of thrilling games on the South side of Chicago. Pierce was a member of the 1959 Sox team that was the most recent Pale Hose team to go to the World Series.
Though he may not be able to take part in the excitement of the game action this time, Pierce was on hand Tuesday to throw out the ceremonial first pitch in the White Sox first ALCS since 1983.
"It means a lot to me," Pierce said of his pregame toss. "I've met a lot of the ballplayers. I've seen them in Spring Training and I know how hard they work. I know the fans here in Chicago are fabulous and just to represent the White Sox is an honor."
Being one of the last Sox players to be involved in an event of such magnitude, Pierce understands firsthand the struggles that Chicago fans have endured over the years as the Sox have struggled to make it to the postseason.
"Here in Chicago, we don't like to be out in the postseason too much," Pierce said with a chuckle. "Only once every 20 years or so."
The last time that there was this much excitement on the corner of 35th and Shields may have been when Pierce himself was on the team. Pierce has long been revered around the South Side as one of the greatest Sox to ever play. The southpaw spent 12 years with the White Sox, winning a total of 186 games over the span.
His time may have been extensive with the club, but Pierce is most remembered for his role on the '59 Go-Go Sox team. After watching many of the Sox games this season, Pierce sees a lot of similarities between the 2005 Sox and that '59 team.
"Pitching and defense have been the keys for them all year," Pierce said. "They make the right play, get the key hit, and they've done it all year long. They had that one stretch early in September where nothing went right but they've played what you would call real good old-fashioned baseball most of the time."
Though Pierce may no longer be involved in baseball on a day-to-day basis, the former Sox hurler has done as much as he can to remain a part of the White Sox family. He has participated in many charity events for the team and remains a presence in the city as a community relations representative for the Sox. Being around the Sox fans and getting to know them in the community has been a wonderful experience on both ends for the former All-Star.
"The fans in Chicago have been great to me since I played here," Pierce said. "They've always been so welcoming to me. I guess by not winning all of those years they remember the years we won."
But Pierce is hoping that this year it's not just a division title that the Sox will be remembered for, but a title of a much grander scale.
"These fans have been looking for a winner for a long time and the greatest thing that could happen would be for us to get in and win the World Series," Pierce said. "I think the South Side of Chicago would go crazy."

Lon Morris College is now empty and quiet three months after canceling its fall classes and four months after declaring bankruptcy.But now, they are asking a U.S. bankruptcy judge in Tyler to approve a December 13th auction to sell the 112-acre campus, which includes approximately 50,000 square feet of academic space, five dormitories, and sporting fields."That's such a unique institution or unique kind of property that they're going to advertise as far and wide as they can to bring in people from outside the area to purchase it," said Tyler attorney Joe Thigpen.Lon Morris said in an online statement today, "We're delighted to have the auction plans finalized. AmeriBid will be providing prospective bidders with detailed information about the school and its extensive campus."The college will be offered in multiple parcels and as an entirety - in combinations that bring the highest total price to the school so that as many people as possible can be paid back."It's possible that you could see several owners. It's possible that they could divide it up," said Thigpen. "But it'd be kind of hard to see how a dormitory's going to be separate than something else. Probably the best and highest use of the property would be for a unified kind of use, like a retirement village or maybe even a probation center."Neighborhood residents said it's been quiet without students in the neighborhood. Virginia McCoy and her husband Donald have lived in their home for 48 years - and three of their children graduated from Lon Morris."Lon Morris is also one of us now," said Virginia. "But now - what does it do now, aside from selling it? It was in the paper that it is going to be sold. We're hoping that somebody, an institute that's real good, children come around again."The auction is expected to happen December 13 at 11 a.m. in Dallas.
