Flattered but a bit baffled

One of my senior students asked me today to write a letter of recommendation for him to submit to his college of choice next year. I'm really flattered that he would ask, but this is the first time a student has asked me to write a letter of recommendation for him. I'm excited for the opportunity but at the same time, I'm completely baffled as to what needs to be in his letter.
So, for you veterans out there who have done this before, what sorts of things did you put in a recommendation letter for a student?
|Thu, 03-04-2010 - 7:56pm
I always ask if there are certain things they want me to include - clubs, past experiences, other languages they speak, adversity, etc. Usually they have a set list, or if not, you can help them come up with one that will set them apart.
Then, I bring up specific experiences about what I've seen the student do. Good leader? Compassionate? Motivated? Driven? Was there a time he or she stayed after school to get help, or to help someone? Exceptional writer or other subject-specific skills?
In my last paragraph, I tell the school or program (specific school name if known; "any university" if not known) how the student will positively impact their institution, and what an intelligent the school will make in accepting this student because of all the aforementioned skills.
I recommend printing up 4 or 5 copies on your school's letterhead, because that kid will hunt you down for another letter for another application, and another, and another...I speak from experience ;)

More Details Emerge on Nvidia's Kal-El: Quint-Core?
Nvidia's Kal-El chip's been touted as a quad-core solution, but we've found an additional core that will give the four others some needed companionship.
Two whitepapers published this morning by Nvidia reveal more details on the company's next-gen Tegra SoC, better known as Kal-El or Tegra 3. Previous reports pegged the Kal-El SoC with four ARM Cortex processors and an additional 12-core GeForce GPU. This combination was touted as being able to deliver unprecedented mobile performance at the same power consumption of the Tegra 2.
More cores generally means more power consumption, which is why Nvidia's previous claims seemed a bit unrealistic. However, it turns out that Kal-El is technically a quint-core SoC, because it features a fifth "companion" CPU core that handles low overhead tasks such as syncing email, playing a ring tone, and keeping applications alive in standby mode.
In its implementation, Nvidia's borrows a feature of Qualcomm's design. Dual-core Snapdragons are some of the best ARM designs because the company uses low-power silicon and an asymmetric processor scheme (like Intel's TurboBoost except that each core is allowed to run at a different speed). The result is a very low power consumption processor that delivers incredible performance. (Read Third-Generation Snapdragon: The Dual-Core Scorpion for more information on Qualcomm's SnapDragon.)
|Companion CPU Core
|Main CPU Cores (Symmetric Processing)
|# of Cores
|Power-Optimized (Standby)
|Cortex A9
|Cortex A9
|Process Technology
|Low Power (LP)
|Operating Frequency
|0 MHz to 500 MHz
|0 MHz to Max GHz
There are two problems with Qualcomm's approach. One, the lower power fab process is expensive and the yields aren't nearly as good as they are with general-fab. Two, operating systems (such as Android) manage processes based on the assumption that each core runs at the same speed. This isn't a problem for an asymmetric multi-core processor since most tasks on ARM aren't that intensive. However, in the future, the desktop-friendly Windows environment is going to be shipped on ARM-based notebooks and tablets.
We've seen the consequences of using a tablet more like a notebook or desktop; most folks have a tendency to hunt-and-peck for keys when they type on virtual keyboards. As a result, you don't feel the lack of performance as acutely because there's plenty of time for the system to process between each action. However, with a physical keyboard attached, typing becomes second nature again. As you start working more productively, you're faced with the realization that long pauses between commands are going to become more common. (Check out the video embedded above for a demonstration of the Tegra 2-powered Asus Eee Pad Transformer.)
Kal-El: Four Tabs in Chrome on ARM-based Windows 8
Nvidia's quint-core Kal-El is an innovative way to forgo many of the technical issues with low power silicon while still reaping the benefit of long battery life and high performance. Early benchmarks are impressive. We've seen a case where two flash-heavy websites were running on a Kal-El tablet without any of the stuttering scrolling experiences on Tegra 2-devices.
On the graphics end, early benchmarks put Nvidia back in the performance game. Even with Honeycomb 3.2, Tegra 2 couldn't match the performance of the dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 found in Apple's A5 (iPad 2). The third-gen Tegra SoC is expected to deliver 50 percent better graphics performance, which puts Kal-El near (if not slightly ahead of) the SGX543MP2.
However, Nvidia has its work cut out with Imagination Technologies being the current graphics leader in mobile computing. Kal-El will give Nvidia a big step forward, but competitors aren't sitting still either. Sony's upcoming Playstation Vita will be powered by a quad-core SGX543MP4 (basically double GPU horsepower of the iPad 2). Apple's iPad 3 also is likely to use an upgraded graphics solution also contracted from Imagination Technologies. Nvidia may have another card up its sleeve with Wayne (fourth-gen Tegra) slated to be released in 2012.
Either way, you can expect third-gen Tegra devices to be available within the next couple of months (in time for Christmas).

I wonder if that fifth "companion" core is on a separate die called "The Fortress of Solitude"

that's like comparing apples to oranges. These are SoC's we are dealing with with extremely low power profiles, AMD fusion is desktop and notebook CPU's/APU's that consume high amounts of power.

5mavroxur , September 20, 2011 6:22 PMVery good idea. Instead of making it a race to pack as many cores in as possible, start tuning cores to specific applications.
5mrmaia , September 20, 2011 6:28 PMVery good energy-saving idea by Nvidia. Even gamers don't need ultimate energy monsters all the time. Now I wonder how long it will take for people to start asking if it runs Crysis 2 at full.

How do you know if it's come near the iPad2 performance if the chip isn't even out yet? There isn't even an tegra3 powered device on the list you mentioned.

Alec Baldwin invoking 9/11 during a rant against the air industry was totally "inappropriate" ... and the widow of an American Airlines co-pilot killed in the tragedy thinks Baldwin should simply admit he was wrong.
TMZ spoke with Cheryl McGuinness Hutchins -- whose husband Tom was in the cockpit of the first plane to hit the World Trade Center.
Cheryl was reacting to Baldwin's blog -- in which he wrote, "I believe carriers and airports have used [9/11] as an excuse to make the air travel experience as inelegant as possible."
CMH tells us, "I absolutely think [Baldwin's statement] was an inappropriate comment to make" ... adding, "I believe airlines used what happened on 9/11 to increase security and protect passengers as much as possible -- not to make traveling inelegant."
She continues, "If [Alec] did something inappropriate ... he shouldn't have to point the finger at a world tragedy. He should just take responsibility for his actions and admit he should have gotten off the phone."
A source close to Baldwin tells us, "Alec had absolutely no intention of offending families, victims or anyone else associated with the horrible tragedy of 9/11. He only referenced that date in relation to discussion of the resulting impact on the airline industry."
First trolls, don't fly unamerican airlines...
Sadly, these are the lengths TMZ has to go to create a story when they're pissed at Lilo. What about the Playboy cover leak? If it were some dude on Playgirl, you can bet it would have been TOP story!
Keeping it real around here one post at a time!
Turn the iPad off like the nice lady says. Seems like a small enough thing.
This is no defense of Alec, but the fact is flight attendants have become power-mad tyrants who bully passengers around now because they have the TSA backing them up. The consensus among pundits has been that electronic devices have no effect on the plane's flight and it's archaic and stupid to force people to turn them off.
Boo hoo hoo! I'm famous and LURVE my cell phone. I get to do what I want! Screw you peasants.
Now what is the smartass going to say now, since it was the flight attendant's tone that wasn't very nice.
Why is it some people think they are above the rules.
It's time for Baldwin to be a grown up and admit that he didn't follow the rules. Stop pointing the finger at everyone else and accept responsibility for your actions, just like the rest of the adults in the world should.
lets all hope alec gets azz cancer and dies like the azz ole he is
this clown is a pig.. why anyone ever watches anything he is in is a wonder. stop watching him and let him go broke... fast... how many times does he blow up with "ordinary" people before he is shot down???
Do you think the Abble Dabble game makers paid him to do this for the publicity?
Unfortunately, most celebrities think they are above having to ever apologize to anyone for anything.
Did TMZ build Pikes Peak. I mean, ain't nobody better at building a mountain out of a mole hill.
Know watta mean Harv.
Alec is the king of the douchebags.
His name is Alex but he felt it was too ordinary for such a fancy fellow such as he.
Mrs Hutchins is correct that her husband is dead. The us goverment was behind it (along with mossad). There were few actual "passengers" who were murdered. there were no hijackers and actually no planes -- at least according to the evidence. If you're interested in the facts and how his could be, I have a great collection of useful facts. http://barryb911.blogspot.com/2011/05/no-plane-theory.html

The Jets have announced two more players that will be inactive for tonight's game.
In addtion to Santonio Holmes, Jeremy Kerley, and Sione Pouha, Ricky Sapp and Wayne Hunter will not play tonight. Ricky Sapp is bothered by a high ankle sprain, and Wayne Hunter is suffering from a back problem.
Austin Howard will play right tackle in Hunter's place. I am sure a lot of us will be rooting for Howard to make a huge showing.

This columnist never did discover why the U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor that displayed at this month's Farnborough airshow, needed an escort from an F-15 fighter. The top-of-the-line stealth fighter flew from RAF Fairford, only 50 miles away, where it was due to make its international debut at the Royal International Air Tattoo.
RAF Fairford
The UK Royal Air Force mounted the biggest flypast seen in Europe for many years over RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire, last Friday. On the ground, the Queen presented new colors to the RAF and the RAF Regiment with due ceremony, to mark the service's 90th anniversary. Fortunately, the popular song title came true, and the rain did not fall on her parade.
The Lockheed Martin/U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor stealth fighter will be crossing the Atlantic for the first time in July, heading for the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) at RAF Fairford in the UK. The aircraft will display three times at this show, but only on the opening Monday of the Farnborough Air Show that follows later that month. It will then return to the U.S.

Streetview, Yoga Dose
Pranayama and the humming bee breath
Bhramari Pranayama
I've always felt a strong connection to bees. My name, Deborah, means "bee" in Hebrew. And I've been stung (initiated?) by them 3 times, once after having the following song lyric to Regina Specktor's song On the Radio stuck in my head: "A million ancient bees, began to sting our knees." And wouldn't you know it, that time the bee stung me right on the knee…
So on my recent trip to Iowa to visit my family, I listened to entirety of the audiobook The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd. It was, appropriately, a heart-warming story … appropriate because in yoga the space of the heart is considered "the cave of the bees."
Bhramari Pranayama just so happens to be one of my favorite Pranayama techniques. Also known as the "Humming Bee Breath," it is a simple and wonderful heart-opening yoga practice that effectively connects us to our heart space: the cave of the bees that is the seat of our soul.
This practice is excellent for speeding up the healing of body tissues, and is a quick and effective way of reducing stress and tension. It helps to quell anger, anxiety, insomnia, and high blood pressure. And, it helps to stimulate the thyroid and strengthen the voice.
The Practice:
- Begin sitting comfortably, with lips closed and teeth slightly opened. Make sure the jaw is relaxed.
- Raise the arms to the sides, bend the elbows, and bring the hands to the ears, plugging the ears with the index fingers or thumbs (I like to use my thumbs and then rest my fingers on my head).
- Keep the elbows wide and the spine lengthened, and bring the awareness to the heart.
- Keeping the body still, inhale fully through the nose, and while exhaling make a deep, steady humming sound like a bee for the duration of the exhale. This will significantly prolong the exhale, which is very calming to the nervous system!
- Focus on the sensation of the vibrations in the heart, throat, and head.
- Inhale and repeat. Practice 5-10 rounds.
Join me on First Friday for this Vino & Vinyasa Event, along with featured artist/fellow SA Current Blogger Elizabeth Chavez!

Online TV Viewers Don't Mind Ads
There is a common perception that people turn to online TV to avoid ads, but a new report indicates that viewers are actually more tolerant of ads when watching their favorite shows online.
The report, released today by tech analysts company comScore, Inc., suggests that online viewers may be willing to tolerate up to twice as many minutes of advertising per hour than what is currently being served.
"While some analysts have suggested that the shift to online video reflects a consumer desire to view fewer ads, our research suggests that in many cases online TV viewers actually have a higher tolerance for advertising messages than they are currently receiving," " said Tania Yuki, comScore director of online video and cross-platform products.
The report's results indicates that online advertising's "sweet spot" is between 6 and 7 minutes per hour, substantially higher than the approximately 4 minutes per hour that is currently packaged with programming .
The standard half-hour of network television contains eight minutes of commercials, or about 16 minutes of ads each hour.
comScore speculates that the ability to watch shows wherever and whenever a user wants rather than when it airs — sometimes called "time-shifting" — makes up for the annoyance of ads, and also the generally lower sound and video quality of online versus television content.
Program time shifting is most prevalent among younger TV viewers, comScore found, with only 35 percent of viewers age 18-24 indicating they watched episodes live.

DayJet Adds DayPorts, Expands Reach to South Carolina
Per-seat, on-demand very light jet air-taxi firm DayJet yesterday added Naples, Fla., and Savannah, Ga., as DayPorts, augmenting the five initial DayPorts in Boca Raton, Gainesville, Lakeland, Pensacola and Tallahassee, Fla. In addition, the company added 12 new DayStops in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. "Naples and Savannah are strategic additions to our DayPort service network," said DayJet president and CEO Ed Iacobucci. "With the growth of our fleet, DayJet will continue to expand our service network, giving business travelers throughout the Southeast unprecedented regional travel options." Boca Raton-based DayJet, which launched service in October, now serves 45 regional destinations across the Southeast with its fleet of Eclipse 500s (currently numbering 28 aircraft), but service to or from DayStops requires that trips begin or end at one of the seven DayPorts.

Got this of of VCDL's email alert:
I went to Barnes & Noble at Libbie Place in Richmond, VA, open carrying with my Gentleman Callers' 7 year old daughter to buy her father a gift for his birthday.
Upon entering the store I was summoned over by the female security guard and asked if I was a LEO. I informed her that I was not and was told that since I was not a LEO, the manager had started a policy of not allowing people to OC in the store.
I asked to speak to the manager and was taken to her. The manager then told me I could take my firearm to the car and return to the store.
This of course was unacceptable to me. I asked the manager how I was supposed to defend myself and my child (I was not going to take the time to explain to her whose child it was) and she informed me that I should not feel the need to defend myself in Barnes and Noble.
I left the store highly upset.
After giving myself time to think over the incident and calm down, I called Barnes & Noble corporate and my statement was given.
Two weeks later I received a call from the ACTUAL store manager, Paula Gear. She apologized profusely for the incident and for upsetting the child. She informed me that she had in fact, prior to this incident educated her staff and security guards about open carry and Virginia is a Right To Carry state.
She stated that she would re-educate all of her staff, especially that manager and security guard. She asked for my help in how to better handle customers who are upset by seeing Open Carriers.
My suggestion was to do as she has been doing, to calm the customer down and explain that we are not breaking any laws and have a right in Virginia to open carry and to invite the customer to speak to the open carrier as we are all more than happy to explain why we carry.
I took her some of Ed's [PVC: EM Ed Levine] Open Carry Cards today along with the address to get more cards when she runs out and asked her to please give them to the customers who complain.
She also stated that Barnes and Noble follows state laws and again apologized especially since I was stopped before anyone even complained and before I really had a chance to even enter the store.
She has welcomed Open Carriers into the store with open arms and welcomes us and our business. I am very pleased with the outcome of this incident, and I feel that like any other business who makes a point to follow the laws and welcomes us, we should welcome them and thank them with our business!

Our general policy is not to ban customers from carrying firearms on the Home Depot property in those states having a concealed firearm law, provided they are carrying the firearm in accordance with the applicable laws.
If the firearm is not concealed in accordance with the carrying permit (typically that means concealed and cannot be seen by members of the public), it is up to the manager based on personal comfort level to approach the individual directly and request them to leave the premises or to contact local law enforcement for purposes of having the individual removed. Thank you for contacting us.

Bass Pro. Inc. Clarifies Policy Open Carry Welcome!
OpenCarry.org (OCDO) is pleased to announce that Bass Pro Inc. advised OCDO co-founder Mike Stollenwerk by telephone today that open carry of holstered handguns is as welcome as concealed carry provided all federal and state laws are followed.
After being contacted by OpenCarry.org (and apparently some of our almost 20,000 some thousand members) about sporadic inconsistent treatment of open carriers at some Bass Pro shops, Bass Pros Manager of Communications Larry L. Whiteley asked OCDO co-founder Mike Stollenwerk for more background information and some time to straighten things out.
Stollenwerk advised Whitely two weeks ago that open carry is legal in most states, usually without a permit, and that Sportsmens Warehouse and Cabelas have adopted clear corporate policies welcoming open carriers in their stores just as they do concealed carriers. Further Stollenwerk noted, its better to adopt one clear corporate policy than allow individual employees make up store rules or give legal advice to customers, i.e., the proverbial but well meaning, psst, hey, you gotta cover that up, its the law kind of thing, which can get gun owners in trouble for breaking the law and unlawfully concealing (e.g., in Wisconsin where no permit to conceal is even issued).
Well today Mr. Whiteley called and confirmed that Bass Pros policy is and always was to be to respect lawful customer gun carry, concealed or open, and that steps the following steps are being taken to ensure this policy is understood by all managers and employees, including production and distribution of training videos as well re-drafting of signage pertaining to guns.
OpenCarry.org is pleased that Bass Pro. joins both Sportsmens Warehouse and Cabelas in clarifying to OpenCarry.org that open carry is welcome in their stores as a matter of corporate policy.

Just as I ordered.
Deep Rose Address Labels The product was beautiful as well as inexpensive. I have no complaints. It arrived on time.
Very Pleased
Elegant Vines Address Labels I used a personal photo to create Thank You cards for our wedding celebration. I admit I was a bit concerned ordering from an on-line site. However, the finished product exceeded my expectations. The only criticism I have is that I wish the photo was a bit larger on the front of the card. Not sure if I could have made it larger or not but I personally would have wanted it to take up more space on the front.
Beautiful Labels
Pure Rose Address Labels These labels are beautiful!!! They were a perfect size. I loved them!!!
Great Enhancement!
Dramatic Roses Address Labels I used the return labels and envelope seals to give the envelopes a little more color and a touch of elegance. They were definitely worth the money. Thank you Magnet Street!
Great Product!

» Harvest Home's Holiday Open House 2011! Be there on Wednesday!
We welcome members of the local business community on Wednesday, Dec. 21 at noon to attend the sanctuary's 2011 Holiday Open House. Join us for a tour of our idyllic farm and light holiday refreshments.
Our sanctuary is an animal rescue, rehabilitation, and humane education center in California's San Joaquin Valley. The South Stockton-based rescue organization currently operates a two-acre rescue facility that provides lifelong refuge for approximately 200 animals representing thirteen animal species.
Nestled around fertile farmland on the Delta, the sanctuary has rescued hundreds of animals from high-kill animal shelters, hoarders, foreclosure situations and cruelty investigations.
We look forward to sharing at our open house the many opportunities to support our work. Please RSVP to Christine. In the meantime, we invite you to explore Harvest Home Sanctuary.
You guys, get to Harvest Home's Holiday Open House on Wednesday and try not to steal Daphne the bunny! I know it will take all your willpower because she is the cutiest cutie-pie who ever existed, but you have to go through proper channels to acquire a fuzzy little bunny of your own. 'Tis the season to adopt!

Home for the Holidays: a Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary bunny adoption event! »
Congratulations, you now have Saturday plans! After you eat ALL OF THE FOOD at Bomb Vegan Brunch, get over to Tri-Valley East Bay SPCA for their last adoption event of the year! There will be rabbits from Harvest Home, the House Rabbit Society, Hayward Animal Services, Tri-City Animal Shelter, and Bananas for Bunnies. Our pal Anne Martin says that "rabbit experts will be on-hand" to answer your rabbit questions, give your bunnies free nail trims, help your bun find a friend (spayed/neutered bunnies only!) with rabbit speed-dating, or help you "meet and adopt the rabbit of your dreams."
The Tri-Valley East Bay SPCA is located at 4651 Gleason Dr. in Dublin, Calif., and Home for the Holidays will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Anne says that as a bonus, the first five visitors will receive a free package of Go Max Go's Cleo's peanut butter cups. Vegan chocolate and bunnies, what could be better? Contact Harvest Home with any (non-rhetorical) questions.
These two bunnies are called Rosie and Pringles, and they are a pair of darlings who love dandelion greens and carrots, and are looking for their forever home. Adopt them on Saturday! Give yourself an early winter-holiday gift, and give one to some darling needy rabbits, too. Have a heart, home a bunny! See you on Saturday!

Flat Bonnies are made for people who love BUNNIES! and for people who may want a real bun but are not ready to provide the proper care and finances needed to raise a real bun. When that person is ready for a real bun, Bonnies message is to adopt a bun from a local shelter or rescue center.

Hello, friends! It's WTF Wednesday! »
Yesterday I was informed that I have high blood pressure. The doctor was so concerned about my blood pressure, in fact, that she would not let me leave her office without signing up for tests, agreeing to check my pressure daily for a week, and swallowing some kind of medicine. I was not pleased yesterday and I am not pleased today. The doctor's advice was to work less and enjoy life more. My thought about that: yes, but who is going to show up for work for me? And who will do all of my paperwork?
I do not think it is a coincidence that this happened the week after Allen and I welcome my former friend and roommate Ms. Cleo into our home. You see, Ms. Cleo (who is a giant black female rabbit) and I do not like each other very much. We spent two years together, and while we were fairly happy—I would supply her with food and toys, she would supply me with bites and scratches—we parted ways after I moved in with Allen. This happened for two reasons: first, I am never at home. At the time of the move I was shoulder-deep in grad school and was out of the house so much that I was not able to give Ms. Cleo the proper attention she deserved. Second, Allen was scared of her. I asked him to hold her once when we first started dating and I was attractively cleaning her cage before we went to dinner. She scratched Allen so hard that he dropped her (on the bed. She was on his lap. It was like less than an inch). The she turned and stared at him until he got up and walked out of the room. Then she peed all over my comforter to teach me a lesson. Allen was not happy about staying over that night.
Anyway, I moved and Ms. Cleo moved in with the roommate I was leaving, with the understanding that I would invite her back if circumstances deemed it necessary. And I hoped circumstances never would. Then my roommate had to move, and now we are living with Ms. Cleo indefinitely. I am probably allergic to her. Allen, on the other hand, could not be happier.
That's right; Allen is in love with his former enemy. I know this because he gives her his organic vegetables every day (and knows which ones she likes), because he texts to remind me to play with her, because he willingly took me to a pet store and made me buy the most expensive stuff and because he talks to her. In Spanish. Regularly.
"Allen," I said to him when I first walked in on him calling her Bonita and saying that she was très bien, "I do not think she understands that. She comes from an English-speaking household."
"She gets it," he said. "She speaks Spanish fluently."
"How do you know?" I asked, wondering if Allen was some kind of modern-day Dr. Doolittle.
"Because I gave her a banana and said 'eat the banana' in Spanish."
"Yes, and?"
"And she ate it!"
"Maybe she just likes bananas," I said.
"Maybe you should go see your doctor for an attitude adjustment," Allen said, and went back to forcing pieces of bok choy through the bars of Ms. Cleo's cage.
Perhaps I do. I do a lot of doom and gloom here on WTF Wednesday because doom and gloom brings me a lot of joy, but Allen has inspired me to do a "what's good" week. Thank god the internet is happy to oblige.
First, there's a dog who pisses while doing a motherfucking handstand. What is that? How awesome is it? Do you have any words, because I sure don't. This dog just gets up on his front legs and says, "Watch this. This entire world is mine!" I think he is actually hitting a big area. I wish I could do this, but I can barely use the bathroom and can certainly not perform a handstand. Maybe I will have one of my yoga friends teach me. Then I can blame it on the rabbit and Allen will love her less and me more!
Here's another thing that I like but I'm wondering if it is OK to. It's a pack of puppies cuddling a kitten. Well, they are basically attacking the kitten, and then cuddling her. And she's more like a full-grown cat. But they're wagging their tails! And the cat ends up OK! And it is just so goddamn cute! Look at their little tails wag. What do you guys think? Is it all right for me to find this adorable? If it's not, please take a look at this cat, who is more fashionable than either you or me.
Ok, fine, here is something unobjectionable: hedgehogs bathing! They are swimming! This is almost as cute as when I would bathe my guinea pig. She didn't love it at first, but then she would get in the warm water and chill and squeak, just like these hedgehogs. I wish I could play this on loop. I wish I could give these hedgehogs a hug. I wish Allen loved me more than the rabbit. Wait…
That's it for this week. Please send me links for next week and have an adorable Wednesday!

Bunny lost his whole family, can you help? »
Hey guys, this is a super sad story! There's this lovely bunny, Lucky, who very much needs a good home, and maybe that's you? Or someone you know? He was part of a nice family in Santa Cruz until they all perished (mom, dad, and two young sons) in a tragic plane crash this July. At this moment Lucky is staying with another family in Santa Cruz that is busy with their own life, work, children, etc., and they can't give him the care and love he deserves. Another reason for the name Lucky—apparently he had 12 brothers and sisters and they all died. Whoa. Anyway, Lucky is a sweet boy who needs a forever or foster home, and maybe you're that person, or know someone who is?
He was cared for in his previous home and doesn't bite when held or touched. He currently lived outdoors in a pretty pathetic cage without much bedding. He's fed, but that's about it. I've attached pictures and some more info below.
Holding: he's friendly when held gently and the current owners have always held him with a long-sleeve shirt on. Sounds like he's definitely not gonna go ballistic and bite anyone (his previous owners were little kids as well if that helps).
Friendly with other pets: He's the only living survivor of his entire litter and was raised with a bunch of other rabbits prior to the deceased family's adoption, so he's definitely cool with other rabbit to some degree but I don't know about dogs/cats.
Rescues aren't in a position to help (overwhelmed!) and they don't want to take him to a shelter (duh), but his current situation is not ideal. Obviously Lucky's had a bum run, and if anybunny needed some love, it's him. Well, and also all the other homeless bunnies, but you know. If you're interested in Lucky or know of some way to help, please contact Max.
Here's Lucky at his new home, see how cute he is!

They great there and super helpful
second time using this location. Professionally handled, and was quick and in and out in a timely manner. Truck was clean and ready to go.
the only problem I had was the truck had trouble shifting into high gear I had a straight run, so it was ok. I did report it to the dropoff personal.
It was a great experience, everything worked
out well.. Thanx
employees there were very knowledgable and professional. I can't tell u a thing that needs improvement. They were great
The brakes on the truck I rented are bad. I avoided an accident but they are really messed up.
More parking space for customers.
great people to do business with ! very friendly & helpful
Thank you very much!
I always use this location. Meryl the manager is great. I always recommend this location to my friends and associates.
When I returned thetruck I believe her name was Merli she was awesome she spoken got me in and got me out. Thanks Merit. I love your customer service.
The last time I rented from U-Haul, the check out line was really long and parking was somewhat limited, although the staff was great. This time, I selected a U-Haul office closer to home and my check out time was very quick, the truck was in nice condition and the staff was great. Check in time was longer than anticipated, because the customer ahead of me had an issue that was taking a lot of time - but the customer service person was very patient with them, apologetic about the delay and did her best to get someone to come and assist with checking in the rest of us who were waiting.
I wanted to exchange a pick up for a 10 foot truck. Same rate. 19.99 daily. I rented a pick up for two days and realized it was too small after the first day. I wanted to exchange it for a larger truck and was told I couldnt apply the 21 hours that I had left on the pick up to the truck. I was being charged the full amount even though I was returning it 21 hours early. All I wanted was to exchange it. I ended up renting both. Spending too much. Was told it was corporate policy. Not a good policy. You should consider pro rating the hours under these types of circumstances. I was going to be charged the same for 3 hours as I was for 24! Lousy corporate policy. I left there feeling taken advantage of. Staff wasnt very helpful either
Keep doing exactly what your current employees are doing. Quick and perfectly efficient with great personality A++ service.
UHaul is a bit deceptive in the way they advertise regarding cost - they mask the mileage cost and emphasize the daily price. Other than that, excellent.
Staff was very helpful, they were funny they took my mind off the move for a moment. I truly enjoyed them. Not only that they were very knowledgeable.
The staff was extremely helpful and professional. I had originally wanted just a 14 inch truck, but when the guy pulled up to the front with it I changed my mind to a 17 and they had no problem or attitude when I asked to switch. This is the second time I've used this specific uhaul location and if I still lived on that side of town I would definitely choose them again. Thanks!
Thanks, Alec
Nothing! You guys were so nice and helpful.
The representative that helped me was nice very inquisitive about where I was moving to but nice. I felt that rather than just pulling the truck front and telling me here you go. Someone should have went over the gas with me. I agreed to using the night drop to ensure that the truck was back at the time it was supposed to be. I then received an email that the truck was brought back under the 1/4 of a tank that I received it on and as I tried to explain to the representative over the phone that I put gas in the tank prior to dropping it off she was unwilling to even hear it. I was then put on hold and was left there for at least 20 minutes or more until I hung up and called back. After getting how many gallons was put in the truck from the gas station I went to they agreed to reimburse the $19.80 I was told had to be put back in but I asked this representative how many miles per gallon does the truck get but she proceeded to just disregard my question and keep telling me about the contract and what it states. She also told me she checked the gas needle herself and it was under them later said another rep checked it and them a manager did as well all before my initial call. I don't think I will use that specific uhaul again because I think it was just to much for me to have to go through. I have used uhaul in the past several times when I resided in New York and never had these problems. I just think that location wasn't a great location for me.
I was there for an hour to pickup a truck. They charged more to my debit card and caused my account to be in the negative. I had to call and speak with Meryl. Took 5 days to get funds returned to my account then I had to get overdraft charges taken off. So I dealt with this for several days and it was overwhelming.
I would have preferred to pick-up my trailer and drop-off at oso blanca 89131 where my furniture was in a storage shed.
You guys suck I asked for a furniture truck he gave me one with no handle and there wasn't even a ramp and you were way too high for 3 hours I would recommend you to anybody and I would never use you again!
I would recommend later closing time. Rather than 7pm, maybe 8 or 9. Other than that my experience was great! Keep up the great work!

Hoggard fears Trott's 'Ashes burn-out' revelation damaged 'cause of mental health care in cricket'
Former England bowler Matthew Hoggard has said that he fears batsman Jonathan Trott's revelations about the real reason behind his exit from his team's disastrous Ashes tour has damaged the cause of mental health care in cricket.
Trott's insistence recently that he was not depressed but suffering from burn-out, has sparked a furious backlash with former England captain Michael Vaughan saying he felt 'conned' and warned Trott that skeptical teammates will feel he fled from Australia.
The fall-out from Trott's revelation has only added to the England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) series of public relations howlers, including the retirement of Graeme Swann, sacking of Kevin Pietersen and the stepping down of Andy Flower as coach.
According to the Mirror, Hoggard, who is England's eighth most successful Test bowler with 248 wickets, said that Trott's use of the word 'nutcase' was 'disrespectful' to those battling depression as it is a 'serious business'.
Hoggard, who has seen first-hand teammate Marcus Trescothick dissolve into a tearful wreck before flying home from India consumed by depression in 2006, also said that Trott should not have played 'vague and loose' with the mental health of international sportsmen as conjecture about illness does nobody any favours.
Hoggard hopes that the next time an England player goes to the management on tour and says he is struggling with anxiety, depression or stress, he deserves to be treated with sympathy, not suspicion.

Pioneering Aeronautics Engineer Whitcomb Inducted into Aviation Hall of Fame
Aeronautics engineer Richard Whitcomb–whose research at NASA produced the area rule, supercritical wing and winglets–was posthumously inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame earlier this month. He died in 2009 at the age of 88. During Whitcomb's almost four decades at NASA his "fundamental insight into aerodynamics and his practical solutions led to three of the most significant and practical contributions to aeronautics in the 20th century," said NASA Langley Research Center director Lesa Roe.

Beef Panang Curry
The more chiles you use, the closer you'll come to the tear-inducing flavor of the dish as it's served at Thai-Khun.
Grilled Bread with Peanut Curry Sauce and Pickles
This recipe from Thai-Kun makes a generous amount of sauce, which you may find yourself finishing (we won't judge). Any leftover would be great on everything from white rice to noodles to…well, more bread.
Red Curry Mussels
You can also make this dish with littleneck or cherrystone clams instead of mussels.

Paneer Curry with Peas
Paneer, a fresh, mild Indian cheese, stands in for the meat in this delicious vegetarian main course. When you're shopping for the peas, look for fresh shelling peas (sometimes called English peas) that have vibrant green pods full of small round peas. Larger peas are sometimes starchy instead of sweet and crisp.

What's the best solution to all this voter fraud, which occurred to some extent in 2008 and then has expanded greatly in 2012? Let's go back to the way it used to be: Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Election Day. If you're too busy or out of town that day, that's just tough luck. That plan worked just fine before.
All these new schedules across the country of "early voting" and "mail or Internet voting" are confusing people, who apparently feel that these new rules have emboldened them to decide it's OK to vote also for other friends and family members, dead relatives, or simply vote eight times because you like a particular candidate.
