Contrary to what you may have heard, great leaders aren't born. They're made. The ability to effectively lead teams, transform entire organizations, and achieve ambitious goals comes not from an inherent set of personality traits but from the mastery of a specific set of skills essential to the success of leaders at many levels and in many fields.

Contrary to what you may have heard, great leaders aren't born. They're made. The ability to effectively lead teams, transform entire organizations, and achieve ambitious goals comes not from an inherent set of personality traits but from the mastery of a specific set of skills essential to the success of leaders at many levels and in many fields.
Chief among the specific skills of transformational leadership are
Possessing these and other leadership abilities are powerful tools; so powerful, in fact, that when used correctly they can turn winless teams into renowned champions, unmotivated departments into engines of creativity, and money losers into market leaders. What's more, these are skills that can be learned, practiced, cultivated, and applied to almost any aspect of your professional life—whether you're currently working in a leadership position, preparing to take on a more prominent role in your career, or looking to understand the secret knowledge of how great leaders do what they do.
Transformational Leadership: How Leaders Change Teams, Companies, and Organizations is your essential handbook for strategies, concepts, and insights into the dynamics of transformational leadership. Delivered by award-winning Professor Michael A. Roberto of Bryant University—a Harvard Business School–educated instructor who has spent years as a leadership consultant and teacher for Fortune 500 companies, including Apple, Target, and Federal Express—these 24 lectures are an in-depth examination of the leadership behaviors and capabilities essential to creating positive change in teams and organizations. Filled with case studies and lessons from leaders in business, politics, sports, and the military, as well as a range of specific skills and strategies you can put to use in your own career, this course is an authoritative guide to successful leadership.
Unlike management, which focuses on achieving consistent and reliable results, transformational leadership focuses on producing change—sometimes very substantial or even radical change. In Transformational Leadership, Professor Roberto defines effective leadership as consisting of three fundamental processes.
After an introductory lecture on the definitions of effective, transformational leadership, you dive right into the nuts and bolts of this important professional skill. In order to make the subject well organized and easily accessible, Professor Roberto has arranged Transformational Leadership into four key modules, each of which offers a focused look at a particular aspect of leadership.
Professor Roberto closes out the course with a final stirring lecture that serves as a call to responsible leadership. It's a vibrant lecture that is as informative as it is inspiring.
Central to Transformational Leadership are the skills, techniques, concepts, and strategies you can put to use in your own role as a leader or in other aspects of your professional career. While Professor Roberto roots each lecture in the ideas that form the backbone of leadership studies, he takes care to make these ideas relevant and accessible to any number of situations. The result is a veritable tool kit that anyone can use to strengthen his or her leadership style.
Here are just four of the many skills you'll learn with the help of Professor Roberto.
Educated at Harvard Business School, Professor Roberto is a masterful lecturer, one whose career in leadership studies and education has earned him a host of awards, including the Allyn A. Young Prize for Teaching in Economics from Harvard University and five Outstanding M.B.A. Teaching Awards from Bryant University. These merits, combined with his decades of real-world experience delivering these same insights about leadership in the boardrooms of some of the world's most prestigious companies and organizations, make him the perfect instructor for a Great Course on leadership.
With Transformational Leadership, you'll approach this fascinating subject from an engaging, authoritative, and inspiring perspective and finally tap into the secrets of effective leadership. This series of lectures is sure to have an invaluable impact on the future of your team or organization—as well as on your own career.

Gary Neville believes it is imperative for Manchester United to have a nucleus of young English players, particularly at this time of transition at Old Trafford.
Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck were all first-team regulars during the 2012/13 title-winning season, clocking up an impressive 118 appearances between them. And having noted their progression, Neville sees a bright future ahead.
However, after a couple of encouraging campaigns, the Reds legend thinks the talented group must now step up and cement starting places under new manager David Moyes, citing the recent advancements made by David De Gea, Jonny Evans and Rafael da Silva as examples to follow.
"It is critical to have young English players at the club who are coming through and have good potential," Gary told ManUtd.com. "Those players need to develop and become better. They are now champions after winning the title; they should gain confidence from that and want to go again.
"They should also feel more mature after the experience of losing the title last year and winning it back this season. They are two years on and this third season is where they really need to perform, kick on and become Manchester United players.
"There is a pressure on young players but in the first two years you are given a lot of leeway because you are young. Next year, you are getting to that 22 or 23 age and some of them will need to perform on a far more consistent basis, getting into the starting team more regularly.
"We have seen Jonny Evans do it in some ways, other players like Rafael have done it after being in and out for a couple of seasons and now he is number one. David De Gea, for instance, was swapping with Anders Lindegaard and now he is the number one.
"We have seen young players take that step and now it is for Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley to move into that position where they are full-time players."
In his current role as an England coach, Neville is well-placed to analyse United's batch of young Lions and,

- SuzanneDined on 11/21/2014Dining out with a group of seven, I asked for a quiet table and we were given exactly that. It is one of the few restaurants where conversation is possible without shouting. The floor is carpeted and tables are nicely spaced out. This is an ideal spot for a group that wants to enjoy conversation with really good food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always outstanding!smffDined on 11/10/2014This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. The food is always superb and the service is excellent. I took a guest from Montreal here two years ago and when he returned to the Bay Area this week he insisted that we go back to the same place. Thank you, Tai Pan, for being such a gem.Special Features:
- Not friendlyOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 10/21/2014Don't go here after 7:30 if you want a leisurely dinner. We went at 8:00 and, although they say they're open till 9:30, they starting closing up shop at 9:05: rolling tables around, setting the tables for the next day, etc. Not the first time it's happened. They bring out the vacuum at 9:35 and turn the lights on high then. No manager on hand the last time we went and when we pointed out how rushed we felt, our waiter told us how wrong we were. We've been going to Tai Pan for years and we've loved the food in the past--it was so-so on our last visit--but we won't be going back because it's so unfriendly.
- outstanding serviceAirflight90Dined on 10/18/2014by far, this is my favorite dim sum place. The service is 5 stars, food is 5 stars. It is expensive for dim sum, but I will definitely go back for sure. I am very happy with the food and service.Special Features:
- kitchen overwhelmedenriqueDined on 10/12/2014We arrived with a 7:30 reservation. Ordered soup, pot stickers and four entrees, we were a party of five. After an hour we had received soggy pot stickers, no water refreshed, no apology, no explanation. We left hungry, went to an alternative restaurant and were served within 20 minutes.
- The wheels fell offOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 10/12/2014We were ther for a Sunday night dinner. They had more people then they could handle. Our food was extremely slow I. Coming. We had to remind them to bring the last dish, which was vegetables, and they brought these after the other courses. They never brought us rice, and we had to ask them to take it off the bill.Special Features:
- Finest Chinese foodluvtpDined on 9/18/2014Every aspect of this restaurant is first class. The ambiance, food and service. Elegant setting for lunch, dinner or dim sun and private room for special events. We have dining there for years and the quality remains consistent.Special Features:
- Excellent!!JuneDined on 9/15/2014It was a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and helpful in ordering. the service and food were wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will go again!xingyaDined on 9/14/2014Food was really good. Best Peking duck I ever have. Taro snow ball was good too. Shrimp dumpling was just ok. I guess because I went when the restaurant open and get dim sum by ordering instead of picking from the carts like other dim sum stores, I was be able to get fresh and hot dim sum. Which was really good and more relexing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- major fail on $10 xiao long baoEdoErgoSumVIPDined on 9/6/2014Tai Pan has always been solid dim sum place in the Peninsula, but was very disappointed with the awful xiao long bao. Six pieces for $10 is not cheap. Total bill was $50 for just six dim sum items ordered. It has never been a cheap place (hey it is in swanky Palo Alto), but the fail for the xiao long bao begs one to wonder how that could happen. The waiter and waitress need to learn to not hover near the patrons. I am not the type who enjoy being stared at as I partake in my food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dim Sum at Its FinestfrequentDinerVIPDined on 9/4/2014One orders using a check list and an accompanying glossy photo card of the dish showing quantity and a word description. The food and tea are great. We have had dinner there too (same rating and comments).Special Features:
- Genuine Chinese DelightjimlDined on 9/3/2014Tai Pan offers very authentic Chinese cuisine, the sort I am accustomed to growing up in (think Flushing, NY or Chinatown, NY) but also caters to a more novice oriental palate. The combination is a welcome find in the Palo Alto area, and I would definitely recommend going there if you are searching for a traidtional Chinese food fix, or looking to explore oriental cooking. The staff is also very helpful with taking off menu requests, and preparing many regional delicacies not on the menu. The atmosphere is very "Chinese" in nature.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent experienceMikeDVIPDined on 8/24/2014We loved this place. In town and looking for Chinese, Tai Pan had good reviews so we booked. Got lost on the way and had trouble finding it because of a Palo Alto street fair. Menu is long. We were not sure what "Hong Kong" meant in terms of Chinese food. We had the frog and Crab Sampan style. Great choices and fun to eat. A little greasy and messy, so be prepared. Wait staff was helpful in explaining our choices. One asked my wife several times "You like frog?" before signing her up. Quite busy on a Sunday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty dinnerPaulamaluDined on 8/22/2014Three of us dined and shared three entrees: lamb, chicken and fish. Plus a bottle of merlot. Our waiter was excellent, well-informed, yet non-intrusive. We have had lunch at Tai Pan multiple times and this was our first shot at a dinner. There is no question we will return. If we were 3-for-3 on the dinner entrees, it seems like a "can't miss" for future visits.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome dimsumChicagoguyDined on 8/17/2014Been coming here for years now, almost every trip to the Bay Area. The spread of dimsum is excellent for lunch,dinner not so much. If you love authentic dimsum this is a must eat place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- slow serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/6/2014Our food was good, but not great. Service was very slow. Lots of other restaurant choices in the area, we'd pick another one next time.
- Great dim sumlegrandgourmandDined on 8/2/2014The dim sum here is worth putting up with the truly mediocre service. The best Har Gaw in town, served in a beautiful dining room, that is, after you tackle a waiter and force him to take your order. A bit annoying, too, that the restaurant seats customers on a first-come, first-served basis whether or not you make a reservation, but a nice experience overall anyway.
- Nice Find. Dim Sum and more.MaRoVIPDined on 8/1/2014Dim Sum in an elegant setting with exceptional service. This is a very nice restaurant. The table settings a first class and the staff highly trained to attend to anyone's needs. We tried several small plate appetizers with the shrimp dumplings being a favorite. We would return just for those. We split the Peking duck entry and it was superb. The waiter was attentive without being overbearing and graciously answered all our curious inquiries. We will be back.Special Features:
- The following 330 reviews are from the Tai Pan reviews archive.
- Poor service spoils the experienceLocalGalDined on 7/18/2014We ordered 5 dishes: two were delivered fairly quickly, but it was more than 15 minutes before the other 3 dishes were served - by which time the first ones were cold. We brought foreign guests here because it had good ratings, but it was a real disappointment.
- Really good food ...but crying babyZebragirlVIPDined on 7/17/2014Tai Pan is our favorite Chinese food in Palo Alto, but for a seemingly nice atmosphere it is disappointing to go for a nice meal and have a crying baby the entire time. The couple next to us was also saying "unbelievable", as the owner did not do anything even when we complained. I have children and I know it is difficult dining with them, however I think when it is an upscale restaurant there should be a policy for patrons to know that they can have a relaxing meal. It has happened there before so it is not a one of. Sadly, I do not think I will return even thought the food is really good.
- Large Dim Sum MenufrequentDinerVIPDined on 7/17/2014Easy to order menu by photo and verbal description. Hi quality food and service.Special Features:
- Great fof GroupsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/16/2014Tai Pan staff was relatively friendly and made sure our food was served fast. One of the servers even took a plate back because she noticed it was not ready, yet. Good for bigger groups and a fairly good selection of dishes.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/14/2014Kitchen closes fairly early so wouldn't recommend late night reservations. Food was good and atmosphere was very nice and authentic. Bartender was very nice and helpful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- sreaterDined on 5/27/2014Vibrant and busy place for lunch - probably great for dim sum, but rather pricy for rest of menu. Had been there for dinner, but not lunch - had expected lower priced menu for lunch.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good for Dim SumPamelaJVIPDined on 5/17/2014We went on Saturday for dim sum and the food was excellent. The dim sum menu is fairly small, but every item we had was well prepared with fresh, high quality ingredients. The service was brusque.Special Features:
- Mothers day LunchAndreaVIPDined on 5/11/2014We go here often for great dim sum. It's always a nice. They were really busy for Mother's Day but it was a fun place to have multiple generations. Food is always good, especially their dim sum. Service not terrific, but not bad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dim sum in relaxed settingEdoErgoSumVIPDined on 4/12/2014This is not your hustle and bustle style dim sum place. Come here for a more sublime, quiet afternoon of tea and dim sum. Of course, if you are unlucky, you might get a table full of crying toddlers. But that is not the restaurant's fault. Blame the parents. Service could be spotty, but a smile and a thank you always got me a nice response here. If you are way south of Daly City and do not want to make a trip up north, then dropping in here might satisfy your dim sum craving.Special Features:
- Did not meet expectationsCakewalkVIPDined on 4/7/2014Scheduled a business lunch. Service was very uneven. Either they were ignoring us, or were rube and overbearing by interrupting our conversation. The strangest thing was instead of serving our four lunches together, they bought them out one at a time. Minutes passed between our lunch being served , so some of our meals were cold. It was also very awkward. When the check came the waiter leaned a cross my face to present it, rather than take two extra steps to stand beside my chair. Did the same thing again when he bought the credit card back. Rudest thing I have ever seen a server do.
- Tasty celebration with Peking Duckwogger85VIPDined on 4/2/2014No one does Peking Duck in Palo Alto quite like Tai Pan. We had another great meal here, sharing a duck with two friends and ordering a couple other entrees and appetizers. One suggestion to make a night like this even more memorable is to bring a nice bottle of sparkling wine. Not only do the crisp acid and bubbles cut through fatty dishes, but nothing is more fun than popping a bottle of bubbly with some friends.Special Features:
- Favorite Chinese cuisine: Palo AltoMitchDined on 3/28/2014My family and I love the food at Taipan, and the service is quite good as well. Every dish is elegant, tasty, and we always want more. The only shortcoming is the wine list, though honestly I cannot point to a better example among the Chinese restaurants in Palo Alto. This is terrific for a special occasion or simply for a unique lunch or dinner.Special Features:
- great dim sum!Culinaryglobetrotter7VIPDined on 3/16/2014everything was efficient and really good, had fun, will come back. Shall try their sister place called "Steam" next time. We were visiting from the east coast, this place was recommended by a close friend! Great find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed, overpriced, mediocre.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/16/2014To echo some of the other reviews, the food is pretty unremarkable and you can get much better dim sum elsewhere in the Bay Area at half the price. The inside is nicely decorated but that's all you're paying for. The service was pretty bad, they forgot 1 dish and brought it out after we had dessert after we kept asking about it over and over (long before the desserts). And the utensils and the cup had food grime on them.Special Features:
- Food is very tasty but a bit priceyAlexDined on 3/7/2014We were a party of 4. The food was delicious and the service was very quick and efficient. Recommend the honey smoked seabass and the lime chicken dish.Special Features:
- Over-ratedDickSFDined on 2/25/2014Over-priced and under-good standard menu. The restaurant promises something extraordinary. It doesn't produce anything close to that.
- Yum!!andibVIPDined on 2/17/2014As usual, great food, excellent service at Tai Pan. We go there when I get a craving for the Jai Buddha Delight salad (which is a delight!). Their house fried rice is delicious, light and veggie filled--no grease!!! Don't miss the sponge cake for dessert, ask for it early, takes 20 minutes to prepare ( and about 3 minutes to eat!!!!!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tai Pan February 2014DinerDined on 2/16/2014We have been dining at Tai Pan for several years now, with the food being consistently good. The service has never been excellent, but it has gone downhill noticeably the last few times we've been there. The service now has become terrible. They bring the entrees out at different times rather than together. They do not bother to check on you, you have to hunt the waiters down to get refills on water. They have absolutely no interest in whether you are a satisfied customer or not.
- Our Third Visit in Two MonthsfrequentDinerVIPDined on 2/11/2014Had a family dinner with a variety of serving platters and bowls. Since then we have been back for two different dim sum lunches. Dinners probably require a reservation. Probably also true for lunch-hour peak. This restaurant seems to be a favorite of Chinese-Americans. We need to look no further for Chinese meals.Special Features:
- So-so but expensive foodKKPulliamVIPDined on 2/8/2014Atmosphere is pretty good, not your typical Chinese restaurant. Food wise, consider the extreme high price, not worth it. For 1/2 the price you can get a lot better tasting 'real' dim sum / Chinese food elsewhere, and I am not referring to some old beat up restaurant, but other well known established Chinese restaurants w/in 20 mile radius. Now on the final bill, we were shocked when we received the bill. For a party of 4 adults + 1 child, we ate almost all dim sum plates with 1 fried rice plate. Total came out to be around $145!!!! That was outrageous. They automatically added 18% Gratuity to the bill. It's our last time dining in this restaurant.Special Features:
- Dim Sum for dinnerElanDined on 2/7/2014Came here for my birthday dinner for dim sum I'd had for lunch a year ago. Though no dim sum menu for dinner, there were some under Appetizers. Had the first one--a selection of three dim sum--and walnut prawns. A wonderful meal for two,Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner menu was very Americanized.OpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 2/1/2014Dinner menu was very Americanized. Food is refined, with prices to match.Special Features:

Community Notes
November proved to be an interesting month in the Linux and Free Software communities. Things started out pretty normally, with another successful Ubuntu release and the accompanying "Ubuntu Below Zero" hacker gathering in Montreal. We also saw a new distribution from RedHat (their Enterprise Directory distribution) and some turbulent times for a couple of other vendors. By the middle of the month, Microsoft was hinting that it might finally standardize the Microsoft Office file formats under an international body, leading some to wonder if they were trying to turn over a new leaf. But alas, it didn't last. As the month came to an end, Microsoft drew fire from the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) in a scandal that many Free Software enthusiasts feel has tainted the UN World Summit on Information Society.

StayFocusd for Chrome helps you curb time-wasting websites
LeechBlock is one of the cornerstones of my online life; it is an add-on that lets me set up a list of "time-wasting" websites and forces me to stop using them after some time has elapsed. It's one of the main add-ons that's keeping me on Firefox (rather than Chrome or Opera, which I really do like).
StayFocused tries to bring a very similar feature set to Chrome. I looked at this extension a couple of months ago, and a second look this morning shows that, with many new features added, the developer has been hard at work.
In addition to specifying which sites to block, you can now configure active days and hours (meaning, when to apply the blocking), blocked sites, and allowed sites (for white-list functionality). There's also a "nuclear option" for blocking access to all but the white list (or all including the white list, which would render your browser useless), and there's a "require challenge" option that forces you to type in a random string before you can change the options.
If any of these seem familiar to you, that's because StayFocused seems to have taken a page right out of LeechBlock's book. LeechBlock has all of these features and many more. For example, LeechBlock lets you configure five different blocking sets and control the length of the string. With LeechBlock, I can configure it to let me access my time-wasting websites for "5 minutes every hour."
Don't get me wrong, StayFocused is taking steps in the right direction. If you're serious about blocking distracting websites, though, it doesn't come close to the versatility and simplicity that LeechBlock offers. Also, I wish that StayFocused would give a bit of credit where credit is due; I could find no mention of LeechBlock in the FAQ or elsewhere.

The other night I sat in the BOE meeting at Daly for the sole purpose of discussing what I consider two important bus issues. I have not sat in a BOE meeting in quite a while and was disappointed to see our school board president trading insults and innuendoes with other board members. It is really not a place fit for students to look up to. I think anyone who voted in the last few elections should sit through one or two of these meetings to realize what goes on and how poorly our school board president runs these meetings.
The reason for sitting in the meeting was to take part in the audience comments at the end. You are technically given two minutes to speak. Most people spoke over the two minutes. It seems if you are "in" with our school board president you can have just about all the time you need to speak without interruption. If you are not part of his limited fan club, you speak either until you challenge him or he is tired of your subject.
What I was recommending was that the playground in front of Weber not be used for construction worker parking. In Flower Hill when St. Francis garage was being built, Christopher Morley Park was used and workers were shuttled to their cars. As space for site and construction equipment will limit the badly needed recess, I hope the board will consider using this or Bar Beach for parking for both teachers and construction. Doing a couple of runs on school buses for the year would be a minor inconvenience to having the students not be able to have ample space for recess and outdoor activities. After all, schools are for students first.
The next issue I brought up was the waste of fuel, pollution, traffic and multiple buses to my neighborhood. Each day the 65-seat Schreiber bus picks up about 12 students at 7:03 a.m. to make the 1.25 miles for the 8 a.m. start. About 20 minutes later the Weber bus comes and picks up 15 to 20 kids to take them to the same area. Many parents take their kids to school because it is ridiculous to leave 7 a.m. for what is a three-minute drive. By the way, it takes another three - five minutes to get down the Campus Street block due to so many cars. I suggest we combine the buses. Even if all the Weber and Schreiber students took the bus on our route, it would still not be full. Added benefits would be having 25 or 30 less cars running to Campus to drop off kids, less tax dollars being wasted on running two empty buses and, of course, kids who may be able to sleep another 30 minutes and function better in school.
One argument against this is a concern about middle school and high school kids on the same bus. So what? In most of the country, especially smaller communities, one bus is run all the time and we are a small community. In the Bronx where I went to school, we as sixth-graders had to get a public bus pass NYC buses with total strangers going to work or shopping. School buses were a luxury that was simply not needed and we all survived. If sixth-graders can take public transportation in the city, surely we can look into eliminating one bus and combine the two schools in a community such as ours.
The last issue I made clear had to do with the health and air quality of our students. Here is where our BOE president told me to stop speaking. I advised him I needed another 30 seconds and he refused. Rather than get into a shouting match, I waited for him to stop complaining and finished between his rude comment towards me. The health issue I was trying to tell the board pertains to our buses and visiting buses during sports. There is an ordinance stating that engines should not run more than a few minutes. In my village it is limited to three minutes before they have to be turned off. If you go to the back of Schreiber when we have a sporting event, you can smell the soot of the diesel engines that sometimes run for an hour. This is not a healthy situation nor is it really needed. This problem has occurred with our own buses as well. Last month I had an appointment at the school when a field trip was being staged. Four buses pulled up to the front with engines running, while students were hanging around the front. Thirty minutes later they were still running. The entire area in front of the school was heavy with diesel smoke from the four buses. I would hope the board can see to it that the law on engines running is policed by simply telling the drivers to shut them down. As for my time being cut off, it took almost as long as our board president to try to get me to shut up as it did for me to finish up with my comments. I can understand Richard trying to shut me down if I was challenging him (he really hates that), being disrespectful to the board or out of order. None of which occurred. If we have to hear him babble through part of the long BOE meeting, the least he can do is listen to the several community comments brought forth to the board. On the board of Flower Hill where I serve, residents are always allowed to speak and may I add without the rudeness he showed nor the stopwatch nor favoritism he shows.

ZipList Zest: Closet Cooking
ZipList Zest is a weekly feature that dives into the lives of our partners to reveal the scoop on who they are, their passion for cooking, and a recipe that shows their zest in the kitchen.
After years of eating the same boring meals over and over again, Kevin Lynch, author of Closet Cooking, dove heard first into the adventure of cooking and creating food with flavor. His tasty recipes are proof that delicious meals can be created even in a closet-sized kitchen. In fact, Kevin's recipe below for Beef and Black Been Chili is one of my personal favorites!
What is your favorite kitchen tool?
There are so many, but the first one that comes to mind right now is the food processor which makes so many things a lot easier.
What passions do you have besides cooking?
Besides cooking I would say that my main passion is photography, outside of food photography. When I started Closet Cooking I knew that I wanted to have beautiful photos of all of the dishes that I made and eventually I upgraded to a dlsr. Of course if I just used the dslr in automatic mode it would not be all that much better than using a point and shoot so I was determined to learn all that I could about the camera and how to use it. I dove in head first and found that I really enjoyed it! I quickly joined a photography club here in Toronto and I regularly get the chance to meet up with other members to photograph different things, locations, events, etc. My next passion, one that I do not get to indulge in as often as I would like due to the expense is travel, though that has a lot to do with exploring different foods as well. :)
If you could travel anywhere in the world for a meal, where would you go?
Another really tough question as there are so many choices! Right now I would say that it was a tie between Mexico City to explore the tacos scene or Bangkok for some authentic Thai cuisine or Seoul for some authentic Korean cuisine! It is just too hard to choose! :)
What cooking skill do you lack?
Cake decorating is a skill that I have yet to acquire but want to.
How do you plan your meals?
I plan all of my meals for a given week in advance right down to when I am using the leftovers. I generally start planning the next week's meals on Monday and by Wednesday I start writing the recipes so that I can have a grocery list ready to go for shopping on Saturday morning. Most of my big meals are made on the weekend and Monday and I am not doing as much cooking the rest of the week so that I have more time for writing my blog, etc.
Closet Cooking can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.

Some scary moments at Omaha's annual Septemberfest celebration when occupants of two vehicles began firing at each other in the parking lot outside the Qwest Center Sunday night. No one was hurt.
A witness says two cars drove up next to each other and exchanged 20 to 30 shots. After that, most of those in the crowd inside the fence at Septemberfest, ran.
Witness Kevin West says, "I ducked behind a car along with a lot of other people. And then after the shots were fired, all of a sudden everybody just scattered everywhere. Chaos erupted, fights broke out."
Dozens of police officers arrived to control the crowd, and several fights broke out. Witnesses reported officers using mace and a Channel 6 News crew saw at least one person get Tasered.
Police say they may have to review security for Monday.
Omaha Police Lieutenant Mike McGee says, "Definitely have to take a look and see what plans we have in place. We did have a number of officers down here tonight as well. We'll see if we need revamp our plan at this point in time."
Police took several people into custody for questioning. A juvenile was booked on a gun charge.

BSkyB/News Corp merger: Wait for the cops, says Ofcom
The UK's communications watchdog cannot intervene on the proposed merger of BSkyB with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. until a police investigation into phone-tapping allegations at the News of the World has concluded. Ofcom boss Ed Richards told The Register and other reporters this morning that any recommendation to block Murdoch' …
So they're going to proceed on the assumption that everything's hunky-dory and not even consider delaying the takeover unless and until the rozzers (because they've been SO reliable) decide that something untoward has happened. The bang you just heard was a stable door being determinedly and firmly closed after a finding that the horse had indeed bolted.
You are being too kind
The takeover hasn't taken place yet, the horse is still in the stable, ofcom is being told "the horse it about to escape, stop it", and replying "no, that's fine, we'll shut the stable door later"
In theory fine
Absolutely we should wait for the out-come of the Police enquiries before blocking the News Corp assimilation of BSkyB.
On the other hand we should wait for the out-come of the Police enquiries before ALLOWING the News Corp assimilation of BSkyB.
This must not get waved through in the meanwhile.
This sentence...
"we then have an ongoing duty in relation to the fit-and-proper test that is not linked to any particular event, merger or transaction. "
I almost choked on my cornflakes reading this. If you don't link a fit-and-proper test to a particular event like this scandal, what on Earth is the point of the fit-and-proper test?
While pay-TV and print media are not directly linked, the owner is the same company, person and ultimately the same bossman in charge. They have to linked together.
Am I missing something here?
The test is continuous.
I think (I hope) you've misunderstood.
What I think he is saying is that checking the 'fit-and-proper' test is continuous, i.e. it isn't triggered by a particular event, merger or transaction.
I think it's also proper that it shouldn't interfere with any police investigation (ha!ha!) which Ofcom carrying out their investigation might do.
I do agree with another poster that Ofcom should intervene to put the merger on hold until it can make a proper decision on whether to block it (which it should even without the evidence of wrong-doing that's emerge recently).
what you are missing
nickic, you're missing the fucking obvious. it's been decades since our laws applied to the dirty digger's tax-dodging evil empire.
Ofcom are wrong
In the debate currently on-going in the House of Commons it was just established that Ofcom can intervene in the application for a broadcast license at any time if they have evidence or believe that the organisation or person making the application is not of good standing.
Ofcom just needs to grow a pair and tell Murdoch to get lost,
That would be the 'fit and proper' test.
I think Ofcom have already answer your question.
My understanding is that because Ofcom believe their investigation might clash with the Police's (yeah I know, the police are demonstrably corrupt but I don't think Ofcom can make that assumption) so they have to hold off until the Police have finished.
Should Ofcom put the merger on hold until then? Absolutely, not even a question of 'should' but 'must'. If they don't then I think that would be an indication that NotW haven't just been bribing the police.
One final thought: given
- the powers they enjoy,
- the public trust invested in them and
- the low chance of prosecution because their fellow officers close ranks,
Shouldn't there be an automatic multiplier, lets say x3, on the minimal penalty imposed in the case of a police officer being convicted of an offence whilst on duty or if taking advantage of his position whether on duty or not (eg using the PNC to find out details of a person he then murdered) as well as automatic loss of pension etc?
I know I'd vote for any part that proposed introducing that kind of police reform.
The whole thing should be frozen pending results of the investigation.
People get what they deserve
I don't read tabloids, and certainly none of News Corps' bog-rolls. I don't watch Sky, or Sky News.
More fool those who do.
Neither do I, but...
by allowing the takeover the authorities would give News Corps a very powerful position in the political life of the country. Just because you and I do not read News Corps offerings does not mean to say that everyone will be immune to the slanted news and opinions given in the papers and on TV etc. Remember " It was the Sun wot won it." or something like that. Politicians seem to be terrified of Murdoch and his minions and I reckon they might just have good reason for their fear.
[Blah blah I'm not a mong, this doesn't effect me]
This effects you because the Mong Mob will vote for whomever Murdoch tells them to vote for. This makes him the de facto Emperor of the Minor Murdoch Islands (nee Great Britain).
Consider him as Berlusconi, only Murdoch hasn't even bothered stroking his ego by wearing the crown in public.
I'm not even saying that he's a particular malignant Emperor, but he and his creatures are demonstrably above the law. We should just send him the Magna Carta so that he can wipe his arse with it.
What about Public Interest?
So what if there's an ongoing investigation by the Old Bill? This debacle has forced the issue firmly into the public domain and it seems our interests, which obviously pale in comparison to those directly affected, as "Joe Public" ought to carry some weight.
The obvious, yes that's really subjective, outcome of a BSkyB takeover by News Corpse will be the creation of a British version of Faux News and as such it should really be subjected to the highest/deepest/most stringent of all examinations (bend over Murdoch, I'm a fully untrained veterinary proctologist).
There was more I wanted to add but I've burned-out some of my ire now; oh the joys of the cathartic nature of posting at El Reg.
I had to use troll as I know someone will have a go - not that I intend that at all; just venting my spleen.
Just lifted this from the Peston blog on the BBC
On this last issue, and as I've pointed out before, Ofcom is under a legal obligation to ensure that the owners of broadcasters such as BSkyB are fit and proper.
But pending the results of the police enquiry into alleged illegal behaviour by the News of the World, and pending a public disclosure by News International of the way that it has changed its structures and practices to ensure such abuses never happen again, Ofcom is not in a position to adjudicate whether News Corporation is fit and proper.
That poses a dilemma for British Sky Broadcasting's independent directors. They know there is an increased risk of regulatory intervention by Ofcom to frustrate the takeover.
Because of that execution risk, they would have to demand a much steeper price from News Corporation than would otherwise be the case. It is their fiduciary duty to do so - and News Corporation, run by Rupert Murdoch, will be well aware of that.
Which means that even if - as is likely - the Secretary of State Jeremy Hunt gives a green light for the bid to be launched in a couple of weeks or so, it would be both potentially expensive and very risky for News Corporation to press the button on the bid then.
My conclusion from all this, which has been corroborated by talking to those close to the two companies, is that Rupert Murdoch and News Corporation will almost certainly have to delay their takeover of BSkyB - at least until it is apparent that the News of the World and News International have been cleaned up.
And, in a worst case for Mr Murdoch and News Corporation, where the reputational damage to his organisation continues to magnify, the delay could become semi-permanent - if, for example, the perceived value of BSkyB rises beyond what News Corp would or could pay.
I must admit I find Peston a bit of a headline-grabbing prima donna, but if what he says is true I see a glimmer of hope ;)
One of the conditions...
... To getting the green light for the News Intl takeover of BSkyB was the divestiture of the Sky News channel. This is specifically in response to the allegations that Sky News would, post-merger, become another Fox News, and the government was careful to ensure that this should not happen.
So Sky News will remain 'impartial', as impartial as it is today (this being an entirely subjective view of what 'impartial' means).
not so much ofcom but the gov.
Mr Cameron should just listen to his electorate and stand up to NI/Murdoch, demand a root & branch clear out of NOTW.
Clearly they have a bad, nasty culture growing in the AC vents, infecting all.
Mr Cameron would be surprised how his rating would increase if he just actually DID something about this cancer.
It is not up to Mr Cameron
The responsibility falls to Jeremy Hunt MP as Culture Secretary. Considering that 100,000+ objections have already been received by the department over Milly Dowler et al, his responsibility is very clear.
Waiting might be funnier
Actually waiting until the takeover goes through and then saying that the News International and the Murdoch's are not fit and proper people to own UK TV channels and that they have to sell all the Sky channels and every other channel they operate would be much amusing.
Ofcom will never actually do it though (SHAME).
Quick Question
My understanding is that News International have basically admitted the hackings took place and have handed over emails, invoices etc corroborating the facts (not suggesting they would have done this without the Guardian investigation. Just that they HAVE done this). So the police investigation is not to determine whether anything untoward has happened. All parties have already admitted this. The investigation is purely about how much was going on and who knew about it and when did they find out.
All of which is irrelavant to the question of actual guilt. So why the delaying tactics? Same, incidentally, goes for Tesco who say they want to see the results of the police investigation before taking any decisions. Why? Who knew what when is irrelevant to the decision they have been askeed to make.
What about...
..all the people not complaining about NotW hacking their voice-mail because the hacks have got leverage due to some particularly embarrassing/career ruinous info obtained.
Speaking hypothetically of course, but if they (The NotW) are prepared to turn a blind eye to illegal investigative methods why assume that they would refrain from resorting to blackmail to cover their arses.
Isn't the plod originally in charge of the investigation now a columnist for News Corp (or am I mistaken)
Incredible, the Ofcom boss is using blatant procrastination as a reason for doing nothing?!
The Ofcom boss is showing he is using full on Passive–aggressive behaviour because ultimately he has no intention of blocking Murdoch in any way what so ever. Not even an investigation.
Ofcom boss: "then we'll look at it, if we need to,"
Yes right, you'll look at it if you need to. Why not look at it now and then decided if you need to block it? But no, lets sit around doing nothing, whilst the merger goes through. :(
A good description of a Passive–aggressive behaviour is "procrastination, stubbornness, resentment, sullenness, or deliberate/repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible." ... which is exactly what the Ofcom boss is doing. His blatant procrastination shows he has no intention of looking into or doing anything about Murdoch's plans.
So Ofcom are just procrastinating whilst waiting for the merger to go through, then later they can say, well its too late now to stop the merger, as its already happened. The Ofcom boss shows he has already decided its going through (he is just a two faced Passive–aggressive who won't truly admit that is what he is really doing), because he shows he has no intention of doing anything about it. Not even looking into it.
As Ofcom have no intention of even looking into it, then Ofcom has proved its totally useless, because its suppose to look into these kind of deals, so Ofcom needs to be shut down and replaced and the boss needs to be fired now. Ofcom show they have become too corrupt and complacent. They are not doing their job and they show they have no intention of doing their job.
I find the blatant display of procrastination astounding. :(
Well well, the corruption does on and up
Sitting very uncomforably on Mr Camerons tandum's crossbar are we Mr Richards?
Hoping he or Rebekah Wade will rub your bottom better are we ? forgetting you need to be a Met policeman have your crack cushioned with a big fat wad, but your only a ... are we?
Seriously How can the regulator stand back and do nothing ?
well Mr Ed Richards ? Are you "a fit and proper person" to be heading Ofcom ?
It pretty apparent that Murdoc's bought Camamoron and Jeremy Hunt the one really doing the peddling, who's obvious insurance policy (incase of failed re-election) is a job @ a NewsInternational-holding company, somewhere.
THIS WHOLE THING STINKS and SHOULD BE BLOCKED until the outcome of the investigations/court hearings and the public enquires have been concluded.
But we all know Ofcom doesnt have any teeth - all the better to give vested interests quallity BJ's.
This shouldn't be a surprise.
When was the last time you heard of any of the OF organisations doing absolutely ANYTHING useful or sensible?
They're toothless, pointless wastes of space who simply wave big business through at the expense of the consumer every single time.
What's that? Want to create a monopoly? Yeah why not. Put water prices up again? 20% increase? Sure! Cartel activities? I didn't hear anything honest *wink wink nudge nudge*
Reply to the consultation, Luke.

I have used the Cetaphil wash for years and has been quite happy with the brand. When I found out that there was a moisture out I was anxious to try it out. After purchasing the product and trying it out I am very disappointed. It makes my skin look more oily. Too bad I can't make a return. Definitely not worth the 17 dollars I paid.

I've been looking for a good SPF moisturizer that won't make me break out. This one is fabulous, it worked right away!

the product also irritated my skin.
Dr Lien VN (Submitted on 1st Oct 2014)
Cetaphil is famous because of their moisturizer formular and usually gently to even much sensitive skin.
I have tried the sample of this sunscreen and feel really satisfied. I am living in a tropical country so I always look for a sunscreen not making my face too greasy. That is why i try a lot and a lot products until i found Cetaphil dermacontrol spf30. It absorb really fast, thin layer on my skin, a lil oily but after i apply cosmetic powder, my face look really smooth like no makeup.
Conclusion : really perfect for daily use. Not for swimming because it is not water resistant.

This product has its pros and cons! It is a gentle sunscreen and it does provide moisture to my skin that is treated with Retina. It is also very soothing. But as far as any shine control it is just like an ordinary moisturizer. If anything it is very dewy and leaves the skin slick. It is also not great under makeup. But I will continue to use it for the SPF. I just put a shine control product on top!
Unknown (Submitted on 22nd Sep 2014)
I have tried dozens of big brand moisturizers that have spf and this one I found about three months ago. The price isn't bad because this stuff will last a long time! Iv'e always had oily and acne prone skin and I love that this hasn't caused a single breakout. The matte finish works and leaves a low shine. It's hard to find a moisturizer with built in spf 30! I don't think I will ever switch to a different product because this stuff just flat out rocks!
PH (Submitted on 19th Sep 2014)
This is the best moisturizer with sunscreen I've ever used. Non-greasy and absorbs well. Maintains a natural semi-matte appearance throughout the day.I'm a guy and have been treated for skin cancer. Hope Cetaphil never stops making this product. It is great stuff!!

In response to the second set of "hall of mirrors" photos taken off Glenn's USB stick, a reader responded, "The UN charter." This initially seemed to make no sense at all. However, it turns out to be the key to this entire matter.
As it happens, the original UN charter was signed in San Francisco, at a building called the Veterans War Memorial. In the basement of that building there's a cocktail lounge/bar. Remarkably, there are no photos of it on Google images or Flikr. But its existence is no secret to San Francisco residents, who know it as the bar beneath Herbst Theater. We sent photos of the mirrored room to a contact in San Francisco, and he confirmed that these are one and the same place.
To repeat: the mirrored room is in the basement of the building where the UN charter was signed, currently the San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center.

Pro Hockey: Capitals get defending champs in playoffs
NEW YORK—As it turns out, the Washington Capitals won't end up playing the New York Rangers in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Consider the Rangers relieved.
Two goals in the first 2:18 carried the Capitals in one of their most dominant performances in recent weeks, and the team will avoid New York in at least the early round of the playoffs following a 4–1 victory over the Eastern Conference's top seed on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
"We wanted to come in and play a good hockey game," center Brooks Laich said. "This time of year, you don't ever want to let anybody think that they can beat you, and you certainly don't want to have that losing feeling, so I don't know if it's a statement game. It's just a team continuing to play well."
The win, coupled with Florida's defeat of visiting Carolina, means the Capitals will miss out on clinching their fifth consecutive Southeast Division title. But with Ottawa stumbling at New Jersey, Washington will take the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference and open the playoffs in Boston.
The relief of having clinched a spot in the postseason carried the Capitals (42–32–8), who somehow looked much more relaxed and focused early than they have during their prolonged quest. New York (51–24–7), for its part, didn't lay down against Washington; with a home victory, the team would have clinched the Presidents' Trophy for only the third time in its history—a goal coach John Tortorella said was paramount before the game.
Alex Ovechkin scored his 38th goal after only 32 seconds, Mathieu Perreault added another 2:18 into the first period and John Carlson scored on a deflected shot on the power play with 1:47 remaining to build a 3–0 first-period lead.
Nicklas Backstrom, who last scored against Columbus on Dec. 30 and then missed 40 games because of a concussion, had his 14th just shy of six minutes into the second period. And rookie Braden Holtby had 35 saves, allowing only a second-period goal on a rebound by Brian Boyle.
Holtby, for his part, was magnificent. He made two spectacular saves on Marian Gaborik, the Rangers' scoring leader who entered third in the NHL with 41 goals. Then, on a shorthanded opportunity midway through the third period, he stopped a charging Carl Hagelin before, moments later, charging and poke-checking the puck away from Brandon Prust on an ensuing breakaway opportunity.
"You have to be there and answer the bell," said Holtby, the 22-year-old rookie who, because of injuries, is likely to be the Capitals' starting goaltender at least early in the postseason. "You never want to give up chances, especially two in the same kill that late in the game. That's something we'll work on. But at the same time that's my job to make up for those mistakes and today I did it."
Head coach Dale Hunter offered no update on Michal Neuvirth, calling the goaltender who injured his left leg in the 4–2 victory over Florida at Verizon Center on Thursday "day to day" when asked before the game. Tomas Vokoun, the team's primary goalie, has missed 10 of his last 11 games because of a groin injury, and the team recalled journeyman Dany Sabourin from Hershey to serve as Holtby's backup before the game.
"He's a confident kid," Hunter said after the game. "He's a winner. He wants to play hard for us, and tonight, he played well. Got the puck out of our end a lot of times by shooting it, so it's a credit to him."
Carlson's goal, his first since Feb. 22 at Ottawa and third in four games against the Rangers, snapped an 0-for-15 skid on the power play that dated back through their last five games. Backstrom also played a much more well-rounded game, shaking off the rust and hesitancy that lingered from the layoff, first to set up Carlson's goal but also to add his own when he beat Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, who faced only 17 shots, high and stick-side.
The playoff schedule won't be announced until today, and Hunter didn't want to comment on the prospect of playing Boston until Florida's eventual victory was certain.
Though the Capitals won't have to face New York until later in the playoffs, they did fare well against the Bruins as well, winning three of four against the defending Stanley Cup champions and both on the road.
"A very good team," Laich said. "A lot of respect for them. They play both ends of the ice probably as well as anybody. They're big. Their defense is solid. They've got three, even four lines that can score. A very good hockey team [and] a very tough opponent."

Gators not shying away from talk of an undefeated 2009 season
By Post Staff
Ed's note: Follow live practice updates on Twitter! @GatorBenPBP
The Florida Gators are beginning their 104th year as a college football team.
How many times have they had an undefeated season?
Zero. Nada. Never been done in Gainesville.
But hey, no time like the present.
Tim Tebow and Brandon Spikes are back for their senior seasons. Seventeen total starters return from last year's championship team, including 21 of the top 22 players on defense.
The Gators are trying to stay humble and keep their sights on the SEC Championship Game, but there is no doubt that the Gators are shooting for an undefeated season and a third national title in four years. Spikes and Tebow made that clear Thursday morning after the Gators completed their first practice of the 2009 season.
"Man, it's a big goal. It's something I think about every day," said Spikes, who increased his weight to 258 this summer but is now trying to get back down to 240. "That's one of the reasons I decided to come back for my senior year. I just wanted to re-write history."
Even the usually humble Tebow said he wants an undefeated season. It's why he broke into tears last year during his memorable "Promise" speech.
"That would be special, being the first time in Florida history," Tebow said. "It's something that we want, but it's not our goal. We're not writing that anywhere, we're not posting that. But obviously when we step on the field, we're going to want to win, and it's something that I hope comes true."
