I've been in the area for ten years now, but I'm relatively new to living in D.C. proper. I work for a local university doing fundraising. I'm passionate about politics and social causes, and I can't live without the Sunday Washington Post, which may make me one of the few 20-somethings left in America who actually buys newspapers. I love music and sports, especially Maryland basketball, as well as the Yankees and Giants. As someone who's not a DC native, I'd love to find someone with whom I can further explore all that the area has to offer, while still maintaining my pride in where I come from (South Jersey, but not the part you see on MTV).

OMG! I thought Nadia Buari was getting things right with her appearances but it seems things can't get worst than what I am seeing in the photos below.
With what she is wearing, I will leave it for those who want to talk about it but for the lip stick, I can't escape it. Geez! What is that? It 'demeans' her whole appearance!
Nadia, I am saying it for the last time, please hire a stylist…I can recommend one if you want me to! Bad hair day too?

"My name is Sydney Bristow. Seven years ago I was recruited by a secret branch of the CIA called SD-6. I was sworn to secrecy, but I couldn't keep it from my fianc�. And when the head of SD-6 found out, he had him killed. That's when I learned the truth: SD-6 is not part of the CIA. I've been working for the very people I thought I was fighting against."Alias is a Cliché Storm / Troperiffic Spy Drama (2001-2006) by J. J. Abrams about Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner), an agent for SD-6, black-ops division of the CIA, who discovers that, whoops, it wasn't a black-ops division of the CIA so much as a faction of a powerful terrorist group called The Alliance; so she becomes a double agent. She then discovers her father, a supposed salesman, is also a double agent for the CIA. Sydney then has to divide her loyalties between a team of good men at SD-6 who simply don't know their boss is the devil, and a team of mostly good men and a few pricks at the real CIA.Pretty much a show full of Impossible Mission episodes, with a twist — Sydney must perform her mission for the CIA, while appearing to be performing her mission for SD-6. There's also a large element of soap opera though, as she learns all kinds of secrets about her parents and their Mysterious Past.Unusual for its willingness to embrace a fanciful Story Arc about a centuries-old prophecy. The first four seasons all featured a subtle, never explained Myth Arc about an Italian inventor with a penchant for odd drawings and fanciful words. Somehow this 15th century prophet is still relevant today. His designs have been implemented and his writings dissected. And apparently the global intelligence community has nothing better to do than go to war over every piece of technology he might have even glanced at.Also notable for the fact that the show was ReTooled three separate times. Each time, character relationships and roles changed in fundamental ways.One of the leaders in Wig, Dress, Accent.

Here are Stanton's long bombs:

Month-by-Month Guide to Vegetable Gardening
The bottom line: Full speed ahead! Through the next few months, your focus will be on maintenance and harvest.
Early in the month, finish getting any warm-season vegetables into the ground. Direct sow the warm-season crops you plan to
grow in place. Continue to thin seedlings of direct-sown crops that were planted earlier.
As your plants shoot up, be prepared with staking materials; you'll need plenty of bamboo stakes in different heights to keep
your crops from succumbing to gravity.
About one month after planting, side dress crops with organic compost. If you didn't use mulch, get out there with a scuffle hoe and attack the weeds.
Harvest during the cooler times of day—early morning or evening—when plants are least stressed. Continue to pick greens, peas, beans, and herbs. Stop harvesting asparagus and rhubarb, which need to rebuild their food reserves in order to produce a good crop again next year.

Here's the scenario:
made a kolsch with Wyeast 2565...no mystery there.
after racking to secondary, I added about 1/2 gallon of sanitary water to the fermenter, swirled, then poured into a growler and chilled 20 mins.
ended up washing twice, and collecting four jars (pint size Mason jars), with maybe 3/4" yeast in the bottom.
the question arises...is that enough yeast in a single jar to do another batch, assuming I made a half gallon starter two days in advance? (assuming its not a big beer).
I wasn't sure so I used two jars in my starter tonight. for the record I'm gonna brew a Mocktoberfest on Saturday in the afternoon. the kolsch yeast is clean and cooler fermenting.
thanks in advance for your thoughts. and sorry if the above seems disjointed...the wife and I killed a bottle of wine tonite
This is a tough point for me to figure out too. I have tried the "repitching from slurry" on Jmail's pitching rate calculator (http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html) but again...it is tough to guess how thick your slurry is. I usually use about 60ml in a liter starter.
What you said you used, I would have probably done but in a starter half that size. I think that will be fine though.
IMO 3/4" in a mason jar is probably enough to make starters for 10 batches.
Yeah, I was trying to eyeball it based on how much yeast you see in a White Labs vial.
Oh well, if I get 4 batches from one smack pack, that makes it worthwhile.
I tried yeast washing for the first time recently.
About 4 weeks ago I washed/harvested and ended up with 4 pint jars each with about 1/4 inch of settled ale yeast.
Instead of a starter, I took one of the jars out of the fridge and let it get up to room temp, poured off the top liquid leaving about 1/2 of yeast and water. I swirled this up and poured it into the fermenter.
8 hours later I had no noticable action in the fermenter, so I pulled out another pint jar and again poured off most of the liquid, an hour later I added an inch of the wort and swirled, and hour later I added another inch and swirled. By this time there appeared to be some krausen forming (but who knows maybe it was just foam from the swirling).
Another hour later I topped off the pint jar with more wort, swirled again, and waited another hour before dumping the full pint into the fermenter. Several hours later I was seeing good activity in the feremnter, and the next day it was going strong.
Now, I don't know if the first pitch worked or not, or if it was slowly building up while I made the second pitch. But in the end, one or both did the job, even though there was some lengthy delay.
-Those that know dont close the door on those that dont know (The Gourds, "Education Song")...
-The brewer's yeast ferments, and forgives, all that you did...(The Gourds, "Right in the Head")...
Well this morning I have pretty serious activity in the starter, and about 1" of krausen.
I did also pour off as much of the water in the two jars before pitching. Next time I'll be less paranoid and do just 1 jar's worth.
i've been thinking about this one a lot, too. I'm on my second attempt at making starters and saving yeast. First starter worked well, second starter started fermenting yesterday from a smack pack. I have a bunch of yeast in the fridge that I plan on using and would like to learn how to maintain. It's a full grolsch bottle (however much volume that is, 20 oz?) and I'm planning on using just a little bit (like the volume of a WL vial) and seeing what happens over a few days on some DME wort. It still seems to me you can generate a ton of yeast to pitch while active from just a small bit of starter stock. But, I don't know about these things...........yet.
The time it takes for a starter or a brew to start fermenting from washed yeast will vary on how long the yeast has been sitting since the last ferment. They have gone all sleepy and will take a little bit of time to wake up.
I did a Wit with washed yeast a few months ago. Same amount of yeast in a pint jar as has been mentioned above. The yeast was about 2 months old. I made a starter and it took about 3 days to get started. When it did, the starter needed a blow off tube. When I pitched the starter into the wort, I had major blow off two days later. Beer turned out great.
Don't stress about the yeast. They live a lot longer than you think, but may need a little longer to wake up if they have been hangin' out in the fridge.

It used to be said that soccer was a game for gentlemen, played by thugs, and that rugby was a game for thugs, played by gentlemen.
But that just applies to the players, so, maybe we can deduce that these rugby spectators would rather have been playing soccer?
I take no pleasure in anyone getting hurt but, since it appears that the jaw breaker caused the first injury, it is conceivable that he got what was coming to him. It is also conceivable that the shooter was acting in self defense.
Let's be thankful that neither injury was life threatening and hope that there are enough independent witnesses so that justice can be done.

This blog was inspired by something Bishop Manny Carlos said about leadership development during our recent Every Nation Asia Leadership Team meeting.
Pastors and missionaries are leaders, or at least they are supposed to be. Some are good leaders. Others are not. Some have intentionally upgraded their leadership skills. Others have not.
It is one thing to be an effective minister; it is another thing entirely to be an effective leader.
A person who is an effective pastor or missionary will eventually attract a crowd that will become an organization that will require leadership skills. If we grow in ministry skills, but fail to develop leadership skills, we will create chaos and unwittingly destroy what we build.
Here are three leadership skills that pastors and ministers must develop and constantly upgrade:
On my recent trip to Johannesburg, South Africa, over dinner we were blessed to have a friendly waiter named Everest. It's not very often that you meet a man named Everest; he is actually my first.
With a name like Everest, I was reminded of another man I met at the wedding I attended recently—his name is Gideon Lasco, a 26-year-old mountaineer who climbed Mt. Apo (highest peak in the Philippines) when he was 19.
It was obvious from his name that he had a Christian background. As it turns out, he is a pastor's son. Gideon is also a prolific blogger in his highly visited site pinoymountaineer.com. My brief conversation with this young man was pretty insightful.
Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. — Romans 12:2
Some years ago a magazine pictured a man staring out of a window; the caption read: "Why does this company pay this man $100,000 to look out a window?" The answer: Because the lifeblood of any organization lies in ideas and creative thinking. Thinking is powerful. Flying a plane, air conditioning, cell phones, vaccines, the World Wide Web--without thinking, these would have been impossible. Everything begins with a simple thought.
Ideas are a great moving force of history. We are never free to do what we cannot conceive. Having a godly mind enlarges our thinking capacity. A leader's thinking must be shaped by the following:
Vision: What is our dream? Carl Sandburg was right: "Nothing happens unless it is first a dream." Vision is a process of the mind--it's mental, not visual. Vision is seeing what everybody has seen but thinking what nobody has thought. What is needed to build a pyramid? One person who can think and ten thousand people who can grunt.
Values: What is important? Values have to do with how we treat people, how we do our work, what is vital to us. Values are the standards, the principles, and the code of conduct that characterize the organization. Values aren't dreamt; they already exist. Leaders shape and form the organization's values. Some universities decide to pour sidewalks after students have first worn a path. Where are the well-worn paths--the actions, the beliefs, the attitudes--that matter most to you? Those are your values.
Venture: What are we willing to risk? Organizations that make a difference are willing to think outside the box. For example, a company that was in the well-digging business began to think in terms of efficient and effective means of making holes, and they soon discovered that lasers dug holes better than augers. They achieved the same goal but accomplished it more efficiently.
Vehicle: What will get us there? How can we accomplish our desired outcome? A dream without a strategy is merely wishful thinking, but with a strategy it becomes powerful thinking.
Victory: What will the celebration be like? A leader thinks like a champion. The end result is to move forward, to accomplish goals, to be God's faithful servant, to celebrate being a part of God's kingdom.
Wake up and start thinking. Take off your nightcap and put on your thinking cap. Ask God to continually renew your mind.
You and I were made for a great adventure—it's why we like movies. Movies have a story to them, an adventure to follow through. It's also why we like shows like "Star Trek." We want to "boldly go where no man has gone before."
That's no accident. God made us to long for adventure—his adventure. God calls all believers to join him in a rescue mission, "to seek and save the lost" (see Luke 19:10) and complete the Great Commission.
Not only has God created us for this mission; he also wants us to go on the adventure together. God's agent for completing his mission is the church. Churches start churches. The Bible says, "[God's] intent was that through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known …" (Eph. 3:10). God has chosen the church—not governments or businesses—to be his agent to complete the mission.
I've experienced failures. I've watched others fail. I'm guessing you've seen plenty as well. This morning I tried to think through some common reasons why failure happens. I'm looking forward to some healthy conversation on this one.
1. It's not your passion. If it doesn't make your heart beat fast or cause your mind to race when you're trying to sleep, you're probably doing the wrong thing.
2. You don't have a plan. You need a vision, and you need to identify specific steps to make that vision become reality. That includes a financial plan. (I happen to believe you need direction from God on this.)
We recently had the "Bennett Boys" over while their parents David and Heather went out for a birthday dinner. We love those boys! Austin is 12, Hudson is 8 and Jackson is 7.
They are great kids. They're smart, love Jesus, and are lots of fun! One thing they all have in common is energy. Lots of energy!
Our little dog Nacho is a play machine. He never tires of playing with anyone who will give him attention. Well, he met his match that evening. The boys wore that pup out! Nacho slept great that night!
I'm a high-energy and long-endurance guy, but when I see kids play I think, "Wow I'd love some of that energy!" Like the Energizer Bunny! (My favorite one… with Darth Vader!)

Most technology startups seem to be funded by product people or business people. Specifically what is often not in the DNA of founders are sales skills. Nor do they exist in the investors of early-stage companies.
The result is a lack of knowledge of the process and of sales people themselves.
My first startup was no different. I had never had any sales training so everything we did for the first couple of years was instinctual. While we did fine learning on the fly, it turned out that a lot of what we did was wrong.
As we grew into several millions of dollars of sales per year it was no longer acceptable to "wing it."
So I did want any rational person who wants to improve does – I hired a coach. We focused together on improving our sales methodology, our training and our comp plans through a larger than life ex country manager from PTC named Kai Krickel. He taught me much – most of it unconventional. Most of it worked and his philosophies have proved enduring to me.
His business was called TEDIC – The Excuse Department is Closed. That mindset always stayed with me and even rung true at the time. Excuses. Whenever I heard why we didn't feel a sales process at an important customer was going well (or if we lost) I would get involved myself. Invariably the reasons I was hearing why we weren't well positioned versus my own perception were different.
I boil it down to this: sales people are sales people. They are the lifeblood of many companies yet they are different than the traditional technology startup DNA so the ways that you hire, motivate, compensate and assess performance of these individuals will be different. Obviously to understand a "class" of people you have to make broad generalizations. Here are mine.
Sales people:
Are motivated by cash. Founders think in options. Don't confuse the two.Read More

percussion instrument
James Blades, Percussion Instruments and Their History, rev. ed. (1984), is a definitive work in the field, with numerous illustrations and bibliographies. Reginald Smith Brindle, Contemporary Percussion, 2nd ed. (1991), offers information on how composers write for these instruments. James Holland, Percussion (1978), presents the history and development of orchestral percussion.
Separate groups of percussion instruments are discussed individually in Joseph H. Howard, Drums in the Americas (1967), containing descriptions of the most popular drums from pre-Columbian times to the present; Richard St. Barbe Baker, Africa Drums, rev. ed. (1951), based on anthropological material on Kenya and Nigeria; C.R. Day, The Music and Musical Instruments of Southern India and the Deccan (1891, reprinted 1974), still useful though dated; and Wendell Westcott, Bells and Their Music (1970), a brief survey of the cultural role of the bell from the Bronze Age. Good coverage of membranophones, gongs, and cymbals is provided in Neville H. Fletcher and Thomas D. Rossing, The Physics of Musical Instruments, 2nd ed. (1998); and Thomas D. Rossing, The Science of Percussion Instruments (2000).
