Liberal delusions of grandeur – America is still a conservative nation
A new poll by Gallup explodes the fashionable myth that the United States has become a more liberal country in the wake of the Obama revolution. By a 2 to 1 margin, Americans say their political views in recent years have become more conservative rather than more liberal – 39 per cent to 18 per cent.
Gallup's figures are striking. The poll shows a clear shift to the Right on many key domestic issues since 2004, including rising opposition to big government as well as bans on gun ownership, growing support for pro-life policies, and increasing scepticism over the idea of government taking responsibility for health care. On foreign and security issues, the Gallup poll revealed a significant rise in public support for maintaining or increasing US defence spending, which rose from 52 per cent in 2008 to 65 per cent in 2009. Even support for the decision to go to war against Iraq has spiked from 39 per cent to 43 per cent over the past year.
These latest findings chime with an earlier Gallup survey from last month which showed that 40 per cent of Americans now call themselves conservative, up from 37 per cent in 2007 and 2008. This is the highest level of support for conservatism since 2004. In contrast, just 21 per cent of Americans declare themselves as liberals, and 35 per cent as moderates.
Although the Republican Party remains relatively weak in the face of Democratic rule of the White House and Congress, the conservative movement as a whole (not the same thing as the GOP) is undergoing a marked revival, with grassroots conservative groups significantly increasing membership, conservative talk radio dominating the airwaves, and a sharp decline in the popularity of the establishment mainstream media. It is no coincidence that the right of centre Fox News Channel now completely dominates the cable news ratings with hard-hitting shows that frequently cast a critical eye on the actions and policies of the Obama administration.
Conservatism is far from dead in America, and remains the leading political ideology in the United States. If anything the Gallup figures reveal the new liberal regime in Washington is increasingly out of touch with the core values of a nation that still remains firmly committed to a largely conservative vision of the future. These latest findings from Gallup are an eye-opener, but needless to say, you won't find them reported on the pages of The New York Times.

I recently went on an 8-mile prep hike for a trip…
Price Paid: 70$
I recently went on an 8-mile prep hike for a trip I am taking over spring break to the Ozark Highland trail in Arkansas. I had an old pair of Herman Survivors that I had used for 2 years with absolutely no blisters. When we got done with the hike, I had 4 mondo blisters on my feet that were the size of a quarter. That won't cut it on the actual trip, so the next day I headed out to the Columbia store and got the Firelane Mid hikers.
Gotta say, awesome boots. They are quite possibly the most comfy boots I have ever worn. Wore them out today while walking through puddles of water and piles of snow, and the Omni Tech kept my feet totally dry.
Overall, a really good boot at a really affordable price.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Hard times have more than Albany's 300 plus homeless looking for a hot meal.
Many who aren't homeless don't have enough left over to put bread on the table and rely on Albany's three soup kitchens to make up the difference. Now the demand is growing and without help those organizations say they're in danger of cutting back, but the Albany Rescue Mission got a visit from "The Love Kitchen."
It's Little Caesars' response to providing quality meals for people who need them.
The Albany Rescue Mission provides three meals a day, that's 21 meals a week for the more than 80 people who come by here, adding up to about 7,000 meals a month. That's a lot of food and without help like they got today from Little Caesars they say it couldn't be done.
Keeping enough food on the table for Albany's hungry is anything but easy, especially when the numbers grow daily. Today the Albany Rescue Mission got a helping hand from a community partner.
"When this big semi pulled up, I was surprised, and we're very pleased and happy to have them here," said Danny Dames, Albany Rescue Mission Program Director.
The Little Caesars on North Slappey sponsored the lunch. When this tractor trailer isn't responding to natural disasters it makes stops at soup kitchens and shelters across the country.
"I pick up the food product at the local Little Caesars, he donates all the food, and we cook it up fresh here on the truck, the trucks all self contained, it's got it's own generator, own oven, own refrigeration unit and we'll cook them up just like in the stores," said Love Kitchen Manager Doug Ruthven.
It's a boost for the Rescue Mission when they needed it the most. "We were thinking about cutting out our breakfast because it was getting just too expensive," said Dames.
But with help from business partners like Little Caesars, what would have been today's lunch can be saved for another day. Hopefully with help from other community partners the Rescue Mission can continue their three meals.
"Yes, more, like Little Caesars where they can come up and volunteer their time and help us out in our responsibility to feed the homeless," said Dames.
The Rescue Mission is getting help from other businesses in the community as well, businesses that include Red Lobster, Pizza Hut, Winn Dixie, the Food Bank and Sam's Club who regularly provide donations and meals for the Rescue Mission. They say without the help of those business partners they couldn't meet the demand.
Little Caesars Love Kitchen has fed more than two million people in 48 states and four Canadian provinces. Tomorrow the kitchen on wheels will make a lunch stop at the Tifton Soup Kitchen.

Happy Monday everyone!
I was honored when Gloria invited me to guest design for her amazing challenge blog -- Craft Hoaders Anonymous. Challenge #9 is "Fold it"!
Use some sort of "fun fold" on your project. You can make a fun fold card, a pop-up card, an explosion box, or other type of project that makes use of folded cardstock or paper. You can share some folding techniques that are perfect for scrapbook layouts or mixed media pieces. Create a mini album with a folded binding. Fold some ribbon to make pleats. De-hoard those supplies and show us your folds....paper folds that is!
I created 2 projects for this challenge. First up is this Pocket Mini Album, featuring an accordion fold binding and Graphic 45's Mother Goose collection. Snap Guide included!
Next up is this Pop-up card I created using Graphic 45's Staples Regular Tag and Botanical Tea collection.
A simple fold to the center of the tag creates a fun "platform" to add a dimensional design...
I used dimensionals to pop up some elements from the Botanical Tea collection. Super fun!
For more inspiration and to join the "Fold it!" challenge, visit Craft Hoaders Anonymous!
Thanks for joining me today!
xoxo ♥,

As Associated British Foods (ABF) updates the market Sheridan Admans, investment research manager at The Share Centre, explains what it means for investors.
ABF has warned that it expects sugar profits to be low this financial year due to an estimated lower production level of 1.13m tonnes, compared to 1.32m tonnes last year. However, investors should be encouraged by the Q1 results with grocery and agriculture revenues in line with last year and Primark delivering a magnificent result. The budget clothing retailer saw sales 25% ahead of the same period last year, driven by strong like for like sales and an increase in sales space through opening 14 new stores.
Operating cash flow has also improved, supported by higher profits and expansion projects reaching completion.
We continue to recommend ABF as a 'buy' for investors seeking a moderately defensive business that offers potential for growth. Looking ahead we believe the business is well positioned to see some improvement in its grocery business and continued growth from its retail operation.

There's an interesting trend going in subscription ecommerce – where people order goods on quarterly or monthly subscription basis. This is a new reinvention of a very old idea, and lots of cool companies – from Shoedazzle to Guyhaus – are emerging in this market. In this post, I'll share some thoughts about the nature of the #subcom market and the opportunities it creates.
For background, check out this infographic from KISSMetrics & Sean Percival:
Source: Box It Up – The Rise of Subscription Commerce
Curation versus Personalization
The most important part of the customer experience is the box and its contents. Every week when subscribers get their box in the mail, they must be absolutely delighted.
It seems that these companies are taking one of two approaches – either have experts curate the contents of the box, or enable users to select what goes in the box, often suggesting other items later.
There are major historical precedents for both of these models succeeding in media – the book of the month club, which became a huge business in the 1920s and 30s. The other model – of selection with computer aided personalization – helped NetFlix rise to prominence and millions of subscribers.
After a brief analysis of the market, it seems that services targeting a value proposition around deals tend to go with a curation-based model – companies like ShoeDazzle, Birchbox, and Stylemint deliver their value this way. By contrast, companies with a value proposition focused more around value and convenience tend to pick personalization – Manpacks and GuyHaus are examples of these companies.
Both of these models have consequences. With curation-based customer delight, companies have to source and deliver great merchandise that delights the customer. This merchandising skill is the main driver against churn – which is one of the biggest problems subscription commerce companies face.
By contrast, the personalization companies need to execute incredibly and are playing a game based on margins. This makes them vulnerable to players like Amazon.com, who can drive economies of scale with their size.
One Box to Rule Them All
There are a tremendous number of small players in this market, and a few larger ones like ShoeDazzle and Birchbox that are scaling. I imagine there are a number of large companies – both ecommerce companies like Amazon and BlueNile – and traditional companies – like Sephora and Walmart – that are watching this space with baited breath.
However, this sector creates great opportunities for consolidation and exits. I don't see consumers subscribing to a large number of boxes – it seems like it would be easier for a company like ShoeDazzle to intrude into Birchbox's territory, and create one box to rule them all. Similarly, I wouldn't sign up for a subscription from GuyHaus, Manpacks, and a company that delivers razors – I would simply order all of them from one vendor.
Capital Intensity and the VC Opportunity
Subscription ecommerce businesses require inventory and massive subscriber acquisition to scale, neither of which are cheap. While these companies are inexpensive to start (especially if you store inventory, and pack and ship out of a spare room), they're very expensive to scale.
This creates a major opportunity for venture capital investors to add value. While web companies are getting cheaper to start and scale due to the growth of open source software and free distribution platforms like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, these subscription ecommerce companies are still costly to grow.
Expect to see some major venture wins in this space as ShoeDazzle and others get acquired by forward thinking retailers, or become large retailers themselves.
Economic Sensitivity
It seems to me that these companies as a whole are very vulnerable to the economic environment, and the onset of a double-dip recession in the United States could really hit this whole category. I don't see people keeping a $40/month shoe subscription through tough economic times.

With EmblemHealth's company headquarters flooded after Hurricane Sandy in 2012, this paper explains how a mobile laptop solution enabled displaced employees to work remotely and maintain productivity. • Hurricane Sandy's surge swamped the building's sublevels, where its mechanical and electrical systems reside, rendering it uninhabitable for three months • Employees who were working remotely could access the company's intranet to get updates as needed • Corporate notebooks were also essential to mobile workers such as visiting nurses and health coaches Download whitepaper »
This helpful infographic on mobile enterprise management (MEM) details the driving forces behind this new trend, as well important considerations regarding impact on cost, productivity and security. • Increasingly, the devices used for businesses are no longer company-owned, meaning an increase in necessary IT support • Companies are most interested in device management to alleviate security and compliance concerns • BYOD models benefit companies and end users with cost savings, choice, and to demonstrate progressiveness from IT staff Download whitepaper »
This whitepaper discusses why the periodic refresh of an organisation's PCs and devices makes sense from both IT and business perspectives, to maintain productivity and top-notch security. • As PCs age, the systems start to incur high maintenance costs and expose organizations to heightened security risks • There is a need to carefully match client computers to the requirements of the workforce • With the right combination of hardware, software and services, organisations can maximize the benefits of a client refresh while driving down cost and complexity Download whitepaper »

Women's indoor track & field claim third straight A-Sun title!
March 1, 2008
JOHNSON City, Tenn. - The JU women's indoor track & field team delivered a dominating performance on Saturday to clinch their third consecutive A-Sun title in Johnson City, Tenn.
The Dolphins scored a massive 157 points, the most in conference history, and their 74-point victory was also the most in conference history.
"It was a total team effort across all the event areas," said JU head coach Ron Grigg. " Our veterans and freshmen all produced great performances."
Junior jumper Natasha Harvey was named Field "Performer of the Year" after adding to her gold medal that she won in the long jump on Friday with victories in the triple jump and 60-meter hurdle. Her triple jump mark of 40-03.25 was a meet record and her 60-meter hurdle time of 8.68 was part of a one-two-three-four finish by the Dolphins. Harvey also took the bronze medal in the 60-meter dash after running a time of 7.71.
"Her talent is undeniable," Grigg said. "She is so versatile, being able to sprint, hurdle and jump for us. Her long jump was a special performance."
After seeing his team deliver an outstanding performance, Grigg was named "Coach of the Year" for the third consecutive indoor tournament and fifth in a row overall.
"It is more indicative of the staff as opposed to just any one coach," said Grigg. "Great athletes make coaches look good."
Along with Harvey, junior Simone Clark, sophomore Tiffany Bromfield, and freshman J'Zotta Rolle helped the Dolphins record the top four finishers in the 60-meter hurdles.
Junior jumper Shaquania Lundy trailed only Harvey in the long and triple jump, but defeated Harvey in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.65 to earn her third silver medal of the championships.
Harvey and Lundy combined for 60 points, outscoring every other team except Belmont.
Not to be outdone by the upperclassmen, freshmen Unique Singleton and Anastasia Folkina added gold medals of their own after both being a part of the distance medal relay team that earned a silver medal on Friday.
Folkina took the 800-meters with a time of 2:21.23, while Singleton captured the 400-meter dash with a time of 55.73, narrowly missing out on a school record.
Singleton earned her third medal of the championships as part of the 4x400-meter relay team that finished second with a time of 3:52.19. Joining her were fellow freshmen Rolle, Allison Salas and Danielle Davenport.
Sophomore thrower Hillary Crook, who claimed gold in the shot put on Friday, finished fourth in the weigh throw with a mark of 48-06.00, while freshman teammate Laura Phillips finished right behind her in fifth position with a mark of 47-022.50.
Lundy and Harvey will be back in action on March 14th as they compete in the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.

3.1/5 rDev -10.7%
Sampled at GABF on 9/18/2010. This Berliner Weiss pours a light gold color from the tap. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is citrusy and fruity, slightly tart. A light to medium bodied Berliner Weiss. The malts are fruity, citrusy and tart. The hops are herbal. A mildly tart Berliner Weiss, not mouth puckering, but you can get the idea. Decent carbonation. Light and refreshing. Wish it had just a little more tartness. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly tart.

3.85/5 rDev +11%
Poured into a snifter.
Pours a very little fizzy head. Color is a pale straw yellow.
Aroma: Wheat, light tartness, apples, pears, and lemons.
Taste: More tart than the aroma. Lemons and apples show again. Also yeast and wheat flavors.
Mouthfeel: Tart and crisp. A light body with low carbonation. Ends dry with a bit of tartness.
Overall, a fairly decent bweiss. Easy drinking and a good summer beer. Glad to have tried this one.

FRANKFURT, Germany, Oct 27, 2012 (AFP) – Hans Werner Henze, one of Germany's foremost composers, has died at the age of 86, his publisher Schott Music announced on Saturday.
"With the death of Hans Werner Henze we have lost one of the most versatile, important and influential composers of our time," Schott said in a statement on its website, saying the composer died in Dresden on Saturday.
Born in Guetersloh on July 1, 1926, Henze's prolific output covered a wide range of works, including more than 40 operas and pieces for the stage, 10 symphonies, concertos, chamber music, oratorios and song.
"What is unique about his work is the union of timeless beauty with contemporary commitment," Schott said.
Henze was openly gay and made his home in Italy, in the Albani hills outside Rome with his partner of more than five decades, Fausto Moroni, whom he met in 1964, but who died in 2007.
It was in the classical landscape of Italy "that he found his own harmonious balance of art and life — throwing himself into his many practical projects, entertaining generously with his companion Fausto Moroni, then retreating into his study and his scores," the statement said.
Henze, perhaps best known for his symphonies and music theatre, enjoyed a unique collaboration with the Austrian poet Ingeborg Bachmann, who wrote the libretti for his operas "The Prince of Homburg" (1958-59), "The Young Lord" (1964), "Elegy for Young Lovers" (1959-61)and "The Bassarids" (1964-65), which Schott described as "milestones in his compositional output."
He was a prisoner of war in Fascist Germany and his experiences left their mark on his artistic output, notably in another stage work, "We come to the River" (1974-76) and in his ninth symphony written in 1995-97, which was based on Anna Seghers' novel "The Seventh Cross".
"With the unshakable courage of his convictions, but also with his joie de vivre, his love of beautiful things and of nature, Henze's restless spirit reveals to us a man who never lost sight of his artistic aspirations, despite many personal sufferings, and historical dangers," Schott wrote.
"To him, composing was both an ethical commitment and personal expression. He had to write, with relentless self-discipline, and when times were hard it threw him the anchor he needed and saved him from his darkest moments."

Modifid by Carl Wenning from an article by the same name by Denton Rhodes, Illinois State University, 8/94
"Syllabus" is a word whose etymology from the Latin means "label on a book." The contemporary meaning of the word is something to the offect of "summary outline of a course of study. " A course syllabus is to a great extent a contract between a student and a teacher. It is expected to be an accurate description of the course, including content, organization, methodology, and a great many other factors. Which ever elements the teacher wants to include in the syllabus will be pretty much up to that teacher. Nonetheless, there is certain expected minimum. The following ideas, may be helpful to you as you develop your first course syllabus. The elements represent elements the list of things that most instructors have found valuable; they are not presented in any particular order. Pick your elements carefully, and adapt them to your individual circumstances.

Autumn approaching
The amount of time I've been spending updating this blog is an accurate reflection of the amount of time I've been able to spend in the garden recently. Everything's a bit neglected.
I received a big order of bulbs last weekend so aimed to get them planted on Sunday. However, by the time I'd felled the sunflowers, untangled the tomatoes and separated the blighted ones to go to the council compost mountain, filled the two newly empty veg boxes with leaf mould and old compost, scowled at the lawn and avoided the wasps, I didn't have much time.
I managed to plant the bluebells around the jasmine and into the lawn - this is generally an area where nothing grows because the jasmine is so strong, but hopefully the bluebells will appreciate that this area gets very little sun over winter and that there is no ground cover.
The daffodils and tulips have gone in pots and been covered with net or chicken wire because I assume a squirrel will sniff them out somehow. I have thirty of each and hadn't quite realised how much space they'd need.
The 150 crocuses are in the shed. Not 100% sure what I'm going to do with these… The plan was to get them in amongst the perennials but said plants are positively refusing to die back - the daisies are still flowering and the dahlias have put on such a beautiful display I've cut some of the flowers and brought them inside so that they can be appreciated. The penstemons are still going and even the wiegela has a couple of late flowers. Combined with the nettle patch and the nasturtiums, the last bees are pretty happy though.
Speaking of wildlife, I saw a robin on Sunday, which wouldn't be of note but for the fact that it is only the second one I've seen in my garden in two and a half years (birds are generally pretty scarce). He was very friendly and quite taken by all the freshly dug patches.
I've also just received some Christmas box plants and a Magnolia so I'm looking forward to potting them up this weekend. I've also got an as yet unrealised plan to try and grow some salad in Vince this winter. I need to research the best varieties and decide what to do in there and whether there's anything I can plant in the middle box too (the peas will be going in the right hand box in November again, given that they were so successful last year).4 years ago • 0 notes

About me
I've been developing software for the past 15 years. During this time I've tackled a number of different problem domains and wrote a lot of code in many programming languages.
My formal education is in Electrical Engineering (earned a B.Sc. EE from the Technion in 2003) and I also worked as a hardware engineer, developing FPGAs in VHDL, as well as doing some board design and system-level hardware & software co-design.
In addition, I've led several engineering teams and managed a large development group for some time. Now I'm back in a technical role doing what I love most – writing code.
I'm passionate about programming and spend a considerable amount of time doing it outside of work as well. In addition to contributing to Python as a core developer, there are regularly a couple of pet-projects and articles about programming I'm hacking on. I'm a system programmer at heart and mostly spend my "hobby programming" time tinkering with stuff like compilers, assemblers, linkers, simulators and virtual machines.
My favorite programming languages are Python and C. I'm also proficient in C++, and have various levels of familiarity with Perl, Java, Ruby, Javascript, Common Lisp, Scheme, Ada and a few assembly languages.
If you're interested in more details, drop me a line and I can email my résumé.
I'm a 33-year-old guy, living in California with my wife and two children. We're originally from Haifa, Israel.
When I'm not working or spending time with my family, I like to improve my programming skills, exercise, read good books and learn foreign languages.
I'm fluent in Hebrew, Russian and English, and speak passable Spanish (though my reading comprehension is much better – I can read books and the internet almost freely). I'm also trying to learn Arabic (so far the spoken Levantine dialect).
Online presence
Being the geek I am, my online interests mainly revolve around programming, electronics and technology in general. You can find me consuming and producing content on Stack Overflow and Hacker News. I have a Google+ account, and am always happy to correspond by email.
My email address is email@example.com

Excellent Prof, lectures are very helpful and wants students to do well. Tests are fair
Fantastic professor. Very enthusiastic and strict but drives the students to produce better results. I miss him already! Ryerson missed a gem.
His in class examples and quizzes really do prepare you for his exams. He hints out stuff and you'll be fine if you attend all his lectures. Do your readings before class and print out the slides before coming to his lectures, it really helps.
He is simply amazing! He makes you work really hard and his exams are challenging, but at the end I learnt a lot. This is a serious class for serious students. His teaching style is great. I am really saddened to hear that he will be leaving us.
ecn 204
If you take his morning class, be ready to fail because you wont understand a word he says unless u studied beforehand. He explains well but at times confuses the concepts out of u. I wont take him again if i have the choice to.
Best ECN204 prof ever! Make sure you have him as your prof. He is so helpful and knows his material inside out. But, like any university class, do not expect to pass unless you show up to every lecture, take effective notes, and complete all the assignments and quizzes. If you want an A- or more in his class, you need to work very hard.
An amazing and enthusiastic prof. Knows the material and demonstrates well in class. Makes attending 8am class interesting. Best professor so far, unfortunately he'll be leaving us. Overall the best economics prof so far.
Explains everything very well. if you study and you have brain, you will be very good!
One of the best profs. He knows his stuff really well. His teaching style is capturing and interesting as well as very informative. All the assignments posted on Blackboard are very helpful to prep u for exams. Textbook is needed for assignments, but his slides cover all the material
This professor REALLY knows how to have students attention. Whatever he teaches will be in the midterm/exam. Ways he teaches is just incredible. Strict and fun at the same time. One of the most knowledgeable professor at Ryerson without a doubt! Please do not expect to get an A+ without showing up to class, its UNI. Absolutely recommended! :)
Being a student who dreaded economics before, this professor changed my whole take on economics and made it a truly enjoyable experience. If you want to learn anything take his class. It will keep you interested and will motivate you to continue with economics. Best Economics Class by far!
Best ecn prof. Knows his stuff. Clearly explains everything. Bonus 5% attendance. Made ecn seem interesting.
Great prof and his lectures are very clear. He uses good examples and he makes sure that his exams and midterms are fair. Everything on the exams were taught in class so there were never any surprises. He's pretty funny too, which is a bonus in a 3 hour lecture.
He's very cocky, but none the less he's a good prof. You'll learn the concepts if you show up to his class and do the ehwrk. The notes are good and he expands well on them. Show up to class, do the work, and study just like any other class and you should be fine.
He was amazing! It's not something you can easily pass but I found the course extremely interesting and he is very approachable. He's funny in his own way and the class had a few laughs every now and then. Go to every class, take notes, and you should be fine.
Great prof! Teaches well and gives great examples. Even funny at times. Definitely recommended. **ECN204 and not 104
Great prof! Teaches well and gives great examples. Even funny at times. Definitely recommended.
If you want to learn economics, take his class. He explains things very well. If you want an easy class, take someone else. In order to get a good grade, you need to work.
Hey dude, if you had completed all the quizzes and done all the assignments, you would not have needed any rounding to help you pass. He is fair and a nice prof. If you put the time and effort, you will get a good grade.
The worst professor you can ever have if you see that you been assigned to him drop it!!!! and you ll save your life he is... doesn't round if you have 77.4 you ll get 77 and same if its 49.4 you still failed! DROP IT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE

Our passion is gaming and bringing to life games that are not only visually and acoustically pleasing, but ones that have game-play that keeps you coming back for more. We strive to produce games that are enjoyable not only to us, but for those of you who would like to play them as well. We believe the best way to accomplish that is by listening to the players. Developers who are closed off to their community seek to produce what THEY want. There is nothing wrong with that, but if the community is going to be playing them as well, we believe you should have input. Many times, some of the best concept ideas come from people such as yourself. So, we strongly believe in player input and we do our best to be transparent and open with you. We want all of you to join us on the crazy ride of producing amazing games. From concept, to development, to playing them. Won't you join us?

Summary: Force Microsoft Word 2003 to stop creating lists every time you start a sentence with an asterisk, dash or number.
Whenever you type in a line of text starting with an asterisk, dash, or a line of text starting with 1) or 1. , Microsoft Word 2003 automatically tries to create bulleted or numerical lists, respectively.
To see what I mean, type the following into Microsoft Word 2003:
* Test
The asterisk will turn into a list. Maybe this isn't what you want!
Type in the following into Microsoft Word 2003:
1) This is a test.
Immediately your text will be indented and 2) will appear underneath. Perhaps you don't want this to happen!
To force Microsoft Word 2003 to skip this potentially-annoying behavior, do the following:
1. Select "Tools" - "AutoCorrect Options".
2. When the "AutoCorrect" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "AutoFormat" tab.
3. Underneath "Apply", uncheck "Automatic bulleted lists".
4. Click the "AutoFormat As You Type" tab.
5. Underneath "Apply as you type", uncheck "Automatic bulleted lists" and "Automatic numbered lists".
6. Click "OK" to save your settings.

My Letter To The Practical Nomad, Or Things I Learned In a Year of Traveling
Dear Edward Hasbrouck,
I see that you and your partner Ruth are taking a year to travel around the world. Big congratulations!
I also see that you have prepared for September release a Fourth Edition of your book The Practical Nomad, one of the two books that every traveler should read. (The other is Vagabonding by Rolf Potts.) Awesome! The Practical Nomad is the most useful, detailed and accurate D.I.Y. travel book on the market.
In my capacity as unpaid advisor to the world – what better description is there of a blogger? – I have taken it upon myself to give you some unsolicited feedback about long-term travel based on my recently concluded one-year trip to East Asia. You can thank me later!
Social Studies
If a solo traveler is naturally gregarious and outgoing, he or she will make friends on the road. If a solo traveler is naturally solitary and introverted, he or she won't and won't care.
Both men and women should learn about the more popular teams and stars of English soccer (Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Rooney, Crouch). The ups and downs of the English Premier League and "England" are the lingua franca of Anglophone travelers, including many women. No, Americans, knowing that David Beckham is signed to a team in L.A. and is married to a Spice Girl does not qualify as "knowing something about football."
For many people, the paradigmatic "one year off" is too long. Three months, six months or nine months is a better period of time, especially for a person's first attempt at extended travel.
While I generally agree with you that it is the traveler's responsibility to speak the local language and not the locals' responsibility to speak English, there are exceptions. Businesses that market themselves in English to English-speaking travelers should hire employees who speak English, at least for the positions that deal directly with travelers. Nothing infuriated me more than the occasions when I was hungry (read: cranky) and the waiter did not comprehend the names of the items on the establishment's own English-language menu. If the hotel is an American chain charging American prices, there is no excuse.
Similarly, there is a point where "cultural differences" become a smokescreen for anti-social behavior. When a Thai sales clerk stands four inches away from a browsing customer, that's a cultural difference. When half a dozen bellowing peddlers surround the taxi of a new arrival to the Pham Ngu Lao backpacker district in Saigon, that's intimidation and aggression masquerading as a cultural difference.
Long-term travel is affordable! Your advice about starting in a low-cost region like Southeast Asia is excellent, because it allows first-time travelers to learn that a $20-a-night guesthouse room with a ceiling fan and a serviceable bathroom is usually adequate. After a while, the $200-a-night room in an international hotel seems ludicrously overpriced. It's better, but it's not 10 times better.
Home country carrying costs are often more of a burden than the costs of the trip itself. A traveler with no ongoing financial obligations can hop on a plane. For a traveler with a mortgage, it's more complicated. Unless a traveler has owned the home for a while, rent will probably not cover the entire mortgage, and then there's property taxes, insurance, HOA dues, routine repairs, etc. Plus there's personal expenses like health insurance, professional memberships, student loans, etc. These are the costs that ultimately control the length of the trip. The travel part is relatively cheap.
Cash is readily available. Most major cities have ATMs which allow a traveler to withdraw from his or her checking account in local currency. Using in-network ATMs reduces needless fees.
Travelers should cancel all old credit cards and obtain new ones for the road. It's amazing the number of subscriptions and auto-renewing services a person has, and, if the old cards are left active, a few will keep billing and billing. I don't think it's an accident that one or two companies keep billing despite repeated requests to stop.
Travelers should get everything sorted before hitting the road, because many companies only disclose toll-free 800 numbers – which do not work from outside the United States.
Let me get on my soapbox for a moment. For one particularly nettlesome charge, I had to request that a friend of mine call the company and impersonate me to get the damn thing to stop billing. If he had called and explained that he had my power of attorney and was taking care of my State-side business, the company would have refused to act, citing "privacy." I have come to agree with you that "privacy" policies keep information away from the people who might legitimately need it (family, close friends, representatives), while allowing the same information to be purchased by airlines, financial services companies, direct marketers, etc. End of (this) soapbox.
Avoid credit cards that charge a "foreign exchange" fee of more than 1%. Most American credit cards charge 1% to convert a transaction from a foreign currency to U.S. dollars; this is understandable (if annoying), since the card company is offering the conversion service. However, some issuing banks then charge an additional 1% or 2% for which they do nothing. Worse, some issuing banks charge these fees for any transaction which originates outside the United States, even if the transaction is denominated in U.S. dollars. That's outrageous, and I hope the Federal Trade Commission or California Attorney General Jerry Brown challenges this blatant padding.
As you wrote, a traveler will spend more than budgeted, especially on the first long trip. A budget of 6 months will last about 4, and upward or downward in that rough proportion.
Travelers should not bring a sleeping bag unless they plan for certain to camp. I bought one in Thailand, never used it and literally could not give it away in Vietnam, the market being saturated with cast-off sleeping bags.
The traditional backpack may not be necessary unless a traveler plans to trek. My backpack converts into a duffel bag, and I never used it in its backpack form. It spent all its time in a cargo hold, in a taxi or in a room. It was never on my back.
You may want to revise your warning against laptops. True, if a person's only computing interest is e-mail, internet cafes will cheaply satisfy that need. But laptops are now so light, small and inexpensive that a person who wants to blog or write seriously or work with photographs shouldn't be deterred. In addition, more and more budget lodgings offer wi-fi, either in the rooms or in the lobby. What I'm trying to say is: Don't get between me and my laptop, man, it's love!
There are two types of guidebooks: practical guides and "pretty" guides. Insight and D-K are "pretty" guides; they look great but don't provide much nuts-and-bolts information.
If a traveler wants to use a practical guidebook other than Lonely Planet, I strongly recommend that it be purchased before the trip starts. I am awed by Lonely Planet's distribution within Asia. LPs are in every bookstore, and they are often the only guidebooks available. Sometimes, LPs are the only English-language books in a store! I enjoy the eclectic sensibility of the Footprint guides, but they are nearly impossible to find on the road.
Not all Lonely Planets are created equal. LP is lord and master of Southeast Asia, but its China guide is erratic and its Central Asia guide is rubbish. I dislike the way some of the LP country guides give short shrift to the major cities; I assume that's to push sales of the LP city guides. For example, the LP China has only a few pages of hotel listings for Shanghai, one of the world's most populous cities.
You are correct that the signal-to-noise ratio on lonelyplanet.com's Thorn Tree bulletin board is off the charts. Anyone can post anything, no matter how inaccurate, and they do. In particular, readers should never trust a TT post related to law or legal matters.
As hard as this is for many Americans to believe, lodging is not an issue. Before I left, the single most common question I was asked was "How will you find a place to stay?" The answer is I walk up to a decent-looking guesthouse and ask if they have a room. Unless it's a holiday or festival, they do. Lodging is not a problem.
Trains, Planes and Automobiles
Travel routes are a problem. The wisest sentence in The Practical Nomad is your observation that travel routes follow trade routes. This simple statement helps makes sense of many seemingly illogical travel situations.
A traveler has to constantly be aware of how travel routes fit together. A person can travel from A (usually the capital) to B (the destination) but has to return to A in order to travel to C (the next destination). Alternatively, travel from B to C can only occur via D. To me, stitching together travel routes is part of the fun, but travelers short on time won't appreciate learning that they have to leg it backward 500 kilometers in order to visit the adjoining valley.
Many famous destinations are travel bottlenecks, especially tourist destinations without a lot of business travel. I was surprised to arrive in Bali -- as world-renowned as a destination can be -- and learn that direct international links were sparse. Ditto Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Searching for direct air routes between Asia and South America is a minor hobby. I have found exactly one (and it requires a generous definition of "Asia").
The routes into and out of a developing country are often flown by the flag carrier of the former colonial power. Air France, for example, is a good bet for routes in and out of former French colonies in Africa.
The web page Air Line Route Maps is an invaluable planning resource. The maps with lines connecting cities are priceless; the maps with only dots are nearly useless. Some airlines do not have a route map on their web site and thus are not listed.
Here's one I learned the hard way: The fact that an airline flies into and out of an airport regularly does not mean that the airline sells tickets at that airport. Gulf Air, for example, has several flights a day through Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand but a traveler can only purchase Gulf Air tickets online or at the ticket office in central Bangkok – not at the airport.
Since the previous edition of The Practical Nomad, the biggest change in global air travel is arguably the emergence of low cost carriers (LCCs) throughout Asia and Europe. These airlines follow the Southwest Airlines model of point-to-point transportation with no freebies, no assigned seating, nothing but a cheap ticket.
And wow are some of the tickets cheap. A one-hour Tiger Airways flight from Padang, Indonesia, to Singapore can run US$42.21 one-way, while AirAsia's three-hour flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Manila-Clark in the Philippines can cost US$78.58 one-way.
Two LCC flights and a night at the airport hotel can cost less than a direct flight on a full-service carrier. My travel decisions were heavily influenced by the LCC routes.
Throughout Asia, one-way tickets tended to cost half the price of round-trip tickets. What a concept! The American carriers should look into that.
Oasis Hong Kong Airlines is attempting to bring LCC travel to the long-haul market (which was unsuccessfully attempted across the Atlantic by Laker Airways in the 1970s). One-way flights from Hong Kong to London-Gatwick can be purchased for as little as US$325. The airline plans to add a Hong Kong-Oakland route, which would make Asia that much more accessible for people who live in the American West Coast (like you and I).
Please retain the Practical Nomad chapter about airline pricing. It is the heart of the book. An understanding of the price structure and the consolidator system is a powerful tool for consumers. And it explains why it's so hard to find a cheap ticket in Japan!
I disagree with your advice that travelers should always have a return ticket if the destination country has an onward ticket requirement. If there is any doubt as to whether Passport Control will demand to see the onward ticket, the traveler should have one. But there are certain common destinations – e.g., China, Indonesia, the Philippines – which have a formal onward ticket requirement but do not enforce it, at least not for white travelers from Western nations.
I have come to despise the onward ticket requirement. Airlines and travel agencies use it as a revenue-enhancement tool, forcing travelers to buy a ticket they do not want and, as a matter of on-the-ground law enforcement, often do not need.
National carriers are a traveler's ally in avoiding un-enforced onward ticket requirements. While an American carrier flying to Bangkok may demand to see an onward ticket before letting a passenger board, Thai Airways International never asked me. The national carrier knew the law was not being enforced. (Thailand began to enforce the requirement late this spring.)
I have also come to the conclusion that, with the exception of specialists such as yourself, travel agents are generally ill-informed, self-serving and useless. On repeated occasions, travel agents have informed me that a certain ticket was the lowest price on a route, yet I found a less expensive ticket online. Once, for grins, I planned a trip to Iceland and gave the broad parameters to a travel agent; she came up with exactly the same itinerary I did but, using her secret travel agent powers, saved me US$6.
That being said, the one time when a traveler desperately needs a travel agent is when something goes wrong at the airport, and plans have to be reworked on the spot. Yet airports rarely have a travel agency on site, and I wonder if you know why. I assume that the airport operator could print money by auctioning the right to be the only travel agency in an airport. I also assume this doesn't happen because the airlines do not want a semi-independent person advising travelers who, the airlines believe, would otherwise blindly purchase a last-minute full-fare ticket. Is that also why airport cyber cafes tend to be airside, so you can't use them to research a new outbound ticket . . . .
I don't have a problem with code sharing as long as the identity of the airline operating the plane is disclosed prior to purchase – which is not always the case outside the United States. I would be fuming if I bought a Singapore Airlines ticket and learned at the gate that the flight was operated by Garuda Indonesia (not likely).
Final Word
Despite its challenges, traveling is fun!
Very truly yours,

So i think Revenge of the Birds needs just a little more to cater to the fan base. I know Jess and all them have excellent football coverage, and we all keep coming back to see new articles and write ups and we get them all at award winning levels. But this article isn't about a simple thing like football (that's just been done to death). Though it does have to deal with our Beloved Cardinals and lets be honest when we were 4-12 and 6-10 sometimes this was the only reason to come to games.
Now i just wanted opinions so i figured we should put a poll at the bottom of this to make sure that everyone agrees with me that this is sometimes the hard hitting stories that is required to put this site over the top into a whole new league of media coverage. What do you think boys? (Really one word short... wtf)

Golf's Hallowed Ground
St Andrews guards golf's legacy for the thousands of pilgrims who visit Scotland to pay their respects
Jeff Williams
From the Print Edition:
William Shatner, Sept/Oct 2006
(continued from page 1)
All of this change would not likely have surprised Old Tom Morris. Morris was the legendary four-time British Open champion and ball maker who cared for and groomed the Old Course from 1865 to 1904 and who became the face of the game for St Andrews. During his time, there were great advances in the quality of golf balls and equipment, and he laid out and supervised the building of the New Course in 1895 (which therefore gave the original course the name of Old). Morris was a native St Andrean and liked to say of his townsfolk that "we are born wi' webbed feet and a golf club in our hand here."
It is a line that David Joy often repeats. Joy, a native St Andrean, is a painter, writer and actor who portrays Old Tom Morris on special occasions in one-man shows. Joy, speaking for Old Tom, says this about golf in St Andrews: "Living as he did through a time of great change in the game, I don't think he would be surprised at all to see what's gone on. Golf became popular during his lifetime and he was one of the reasons for it, so seeing so many people come to St Andrews to play would have been gratifying then and now. I suppose he would be surprised at the level of maintenance of the Old Course, which during his day was mostly khaki-colored with a tinge of green and certainly not mown with any regularity."
Joy also has this to say about the people of St Andrews: "The attitude of the locals has changed quite a bit. Visitors were looked upon as a nuisance until probably the mid-'70s. But we realized finally that they were putting a lot into our town. We started getting a better class of Americans. Before it was just tartan wearers coming to town on a bus tour. Now it's a big cross section of Americans coming in small groups to play golf, and to see our town. We have sort of resigned ourselves to more people and slower rounds during the high season. Thank God we have a bloody bad winter here or we would have a theme park."
The theme of golf in St Andrews is seasonal, thanks in large measure to the bloody bad winter. Yet in recent years that season has been stretched by the arrival of the new courses, particularly the two at the St Andrews Bay resort, owned by American Donald Panoz. "St Andrews Bay, because it has the ability to handle conferences and small conventions, has had an influence on the overall golf landscape in St Andrews," says Gordon Dalgleish, a native Scot who, along with his brother Colin, runs PerryGolf, a high-end travel company based in Atlanta that does considerable business in Scotland. "Getting people into St Andrews in February is no small chore, but St Andrews Bay has probably given the area an extra couple of months on either side of the summer. They have the two lovely courses there. Up the road is Kingsbarns, which has gained, and rightly so, a very strong reputation.
"Another factor in this, too, is the Links Clubhouse. Now, when they were proposing to build it in the early 1990s, the locals were hugely opposed to it. But it went through and now it gives players a place to change clothing, have a drink, a meal, all in a place overlooking the linksland. And now the locals quite embrace it themselves. The locals will look askance at change, but at the same time have come to realize that so much has been for their benefit."
The Old Course, and the family of courses it spawned, is one of the great municipal benefits in the world. Locals are entitled to buy a pass that allows them unlimited golf and guaranteed tee times on the Old Course and all others that the town owns. The cost: a little more than $200 per year, which is less than the cost of one round played by a visitor on the Old Course. Getting a tee time on the fabled layout can be a byzantine undertaking for a visitor during the high season, going through what's known as the ballot, in which names are drawn the day before.
Visitors are considerably down the pecking order. One way to ensure a tee time is by going to the St Andrews Links Trust Web site well in advance of your trip. You could also purchase a time as part of a golf tour such as those organized by PerryGolf or from the St Andrews—based Old Course Experience, but expect that the cost will be wallet-shrinking, though the experience is, to most, priceless. During the off-season, it's quite likely you could just walk up to the starter's hut and get sent off in a reasonable time.
With golf traffic increasing, there is rising pressure on the entirely satisfying New Course and the underrated Jubilee. That's why courses like Kingsbarns, the St Andrews Bay pair and The Duke's Course have been such key additions, and why the Links Trust is building the No. 7 course. No. 7 was designed by David McLay Kidd, whose reputation was ramped up miles by his Bandon Dunes links course in Oregon. While No. 7 doesn't sit on linksland, it does sit on a beautiful headland with a marvelous view of the town. It will have some links characteristics, with lumpy fairways and ambling greens. The ninth and 18th greens will be joined and overlook the water, just in front of the clubhouse.
This area to the east of town was first mined for golf by the Kingsbarns Golf Links. Designed by Kyle Phillips and one of the original investors, Mark Parsinen, Kingsbarns was a bland sloping site that once held a small course and where cattle and sheep grazed. But it also had a stupendous view across the Firth of Tay toward Dundee, Carnoustie and Arbroath. Phillips and Parsinen transformed the land into a true links layout with deft detailing and subtleties that gave it instant age and overwhelming approval. The course will become a final qualifying site for the 2010 British Open Championship at St Andrews. And get this: during the off-season there is very little play, even from the locals, who are charged only 12 pounds sterling (about $22).
The St Andrews Bay courses, designed by Sam Torrance and Bruce Devlin, are an entirely appropriate addition to the local golf, with the Devlin course particularly challenging from the back tees. You couldn't do wrong to play at St Andrews Bay during the high season if the Old Course, the New Course and Kingsbarns are jammed up. The Duke's Course, owned by the Old Course Hotel, has recently been renovated, but large white sand bunkers are glaring in the parkland layout and need to weather to gain a natural look.

Hello, Texans buddies, this is your good friend the Bradfather checking in for our upcoming game. I have always appreciated conversing with opposing fan bases of teams that we face and am looking forward to connecting with you.
We know Broncos and Texans fans comprise classy fan bases so let's have a week rife with positive vibes espousing such views.
As always, if there are any Broncos questions, my friends and I will do our best to address them, I just want a solid rapport to be promulgated, no trolling or other nonsense, just friends talking football.
I also look forward to seeing Wade Phillips again I must confess, I love the good people of Texas, having served a portion of them in El Paso on a Mormon mission, while I cherish my interactions with Texans cheerleaders and fans on Twitter, definitely awesome people.
Good luck to both teams, may we be bereft of injuries and such, have a nice day :)

FEB 13, 2012 – Willie Nelson, along with 300,000 other activists who support small family farms and a healthy and fair food system, sued food giant Monsanto in Federal Court in Manhattan on January 31, 2012. The suit seeks to protect the harassment and threatening manner agribusiness giant Monsanto has exhibited, with threatening to go after any small farms that contain any trace of what they claim to be their property, genetically modified seeds. Willie and his campaign, Occupy The Food System, consists of many small groups, one being Food Democracy Now. All the activists are also fighting against Monsanto's spraying of "Roundup herbicides", which harm the soil, water and the farms around them. Willie states that the corporate takeover of small farms by large corporations has "led to the loss of millions of family farmers, destruction of our soil, pollution of our water and health epidemics of epic obesity and diabetes". Read more about the lawsuit on NationofChange.org here, and check out Occupy The Food System Facebook Page here.
Also, an ad aired on the Grammy's last night of Willie Nelson performing the haunting Coldplay classic, "The Scientists" (watch below) to help The Chipotle Cultivate Foundation, an organization that is "Dedicated to creating a sustainable, healthful and equitable future". You can purchase the song on iTunes here, where proceeds will benefit the foundation and help them in their work to protect small family farms. Check out their website here.

Hey guys. I'm in a points-only very deep keeper league with a salary cap. I'm tearing it up right now.
I just traded Anisimov (and a low pick in our 2012 draft) for Flood (and a better pick). I'm in win-now mode, and the guy I made the deal with is not. I needed a bit of help (and salary flexibility) on the blueline. Anisimov is young and has potential, but I have better young guys with potential already. Early days I know, but I wasn't thinking of Anisimov as a keeper. Yay or nay?
What I'm even more interested in though, is your takes on a few guys I have, and whether it's the time to sell on them. (As a point of reference, some of the guys I have on the bench right now who might replace these guys if I traded any of them are: Kunitz, Cole, Brodziak and Hamonic - I told you I was thin on D.)
Milan Michalek
3 goals in his last four games, and sitting near the top of the league in goals. Keep him or no? What would be a reasonable return on him? Looking for a guy who would be an upgrade for this season - not necessarily thinking about the future so much.
Corey Perry
4 points in his last 6, but he's not looking like he's going to be close to PPG this season. See if I can get a sniff on him based on last season, or ride this out?
Andrej Meszaros
I might have trouble getting rid of him at this point. Is he even worth hanging onto when I go for my adds and drops later this week? Kinda feeling like I might drop Erik Cole, too. These guys are both just too pricy for their worth in my pool, I think.
Thanks a lot guys!

Details on the Vestal Virgin
Basics on the Vestal Virgin
A vestal virgin was a venerated priestess (sacerdos) of the hearth-fire goddess Vesta (Roman version of the Greek goddess Hestia). As the name suggests, a vestal virgin was a virgin, chosen while young (between 6-10), to serve for 30 years. Violation of the chastity vow the vestal virgin took was taken seriously. Punishment included being buried alive. Vestal virgins guarded the luck of Rome.
