Becoming a member of Rotary International and the Centreville Rotary Club is very different than most of our civic and community affiliations. The first surprise comes when one learns that you must be invited to join by a current member of the Rotary Club in your community. And members are always seeking fellow professionals and community leaders to add strength and vision to the club's program of work.

At Nopalitos Cantina & Grill, chefs prepare authentic Mexican eats, specializing in seafood. They whip up dishes such as fish tacos, crab chimichangas, and crab chile relleno—a Poblano pepper stuffed with crabmeat and cheese and topped with verde sauce. To augment the authenticity, the interior of the restaurant is designed to look like an outdoor Mexican plaza, with old-fashioned street lamps and brick-lined windows.
At Las Lomas Tex-Mex, a mouthwatering menu of Tex-Mex treats and traditional Mexican meals entices diners with fresh, colorful ingredients, daily made dishes, and award-winning hot sauces. Guests happily paint stuffed chili rellenos with Diego Rivera–style murals using a choice of four colorful sauces, including chipotle, verde, and ranchero. As guests cheer on their favorite sports teams on Las Lomas' multiple big-screen TVs, sizzling fajita skillets lift up savory scents of marinated chicken, beef, or shrimp while impersonating the hissing roar of a stadium crowd. Breakfast specials include migas, huevos rancheros, and breakfast tacos stuffed with eggs, chorizo, and beans.
What's in a name? When it comes to The Green Mesquite BBQ & More, pretty much everything. As one of its gift-shop T-shirts will tell you, the restaurant has been "horrifying vegetarians since 1988," and that enduring success can largely be attributed to what's inside the barbecue pit: log after log of green mesquite wood.
Owner Tom Davis opts for that particular fresh-cut variety because of its slow-burning property, and because it gives meat a bold and smoky flavor. Davis and his team cook everything from beef and pork to chicken and turkey over the wood. They also make their own barbecue sauce and a signature rub for their baby back ribs, which Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives host Guy Fieri called "awesome."
It's not just the smoked meats that distinguish Green Mesquite's three Austin-area locations. It's also that the restaurants double as venues for live music?specifically of the bluegrass and country variety?and that the restaurants welcome dogs, provided they bring along a well-behaved owner.
At Morelia Mexican Grill, generations of the Arreola Family cook up recipes from their ancestral home in Morelia, Mexico, captivating diners with savory dishes of chicken, seafood, steak, and pork. The restaurants immerse guests in an atmosphere of Mexican art and culture, with stone pillars and friezes decorated in Mesoamrican-style carvings and colorful wall-sized Diego Rivera?style murals. The dishes that sparkle against that backdrop included the shrimp-stuffed avocado, Fajitas Romanas, and mixed grill plates of quail and steak.
Campo Azul Bar & Grill's kitchen uses local and seasonal ingredients to recreate Mexican cuisine. As you sip a signature drink such as the blue margarita, El Campotini, Cantaritos, or Micheladas, the staff will bring over plates of fajitas that sizzle directly on your table. The chefs can also grill signature dishes including Molcajete Cielo Mar y Tierra, Que me ves Alambres, La Pina Azul, and street tacos made also from scratch. Before calling it a meal, it's worth it to try one of Campo Azul's decadent dessert inventions, such as the flan and Arroz con Leche.
A decade is a long time to be in the restaurant, but MasFajitas Mexican Restaurant's three kitchens haven't slowed down in all that time. The owners attribute their success to their signature dishes, including the cadillac fajita, a medley of veggies, tender chicken or beef, and all the bell and whistles from creamy guacamole to handmade pico de gallo. They keep things fresh by working contemporary American ingredients into their menu, such as grilled catfish or a cheese and spinach quesadilla. The kitchen can also export its wares via its catering service, available for parties of any size, from intimate gatherings of friends to huge gatherings of strangers who you will turn into friends with your benevolence and Mexican food.

An Angel With Disintegrating Body
Location: N/A
By: Emmanuel Tio
Praised be the Lord Jesus Christ! Now and forever. Amen.
I'd been praying very, very much and I had to face the consequences of praying and loving God. I am thinking of the harder I pray and talk to God, the more sinful I am during the darkest hours. I remember my Math topic before regarding absolute value. The nearer I go to the right, the further I go to the left. This had been my problem regarding my faith in God. I sometimes believe in the philosophy of yin yang and the thesis and anti-thesis of the Marxist (dialectics) philosophers that the more I go with the good, the worse I become afterwards. I know, as the Persian saying goes, "Every greatness requires sacrifice" (from the motion picture "Wish Master") that my life would be sacrificed due to extreme love for My Catholic God and that would be the inquiry all humans may have up until now.
I'd been 'using' the Right Hand of God the Father as my Helper and Support up until now but I have a very big problem with the opposite hand, the left hand of God the Father. The more I hold on to the Right Hand of the Father, the more the left hand of God the Father tortures me. This usually happens during the night. I pray during the day and suffer most of the time during the night time. And this is the scariest part - to die with an invisible murderer. I am talking about the feeling of being thrown away into the bottomless pit. These experiences usually entail the nerves of my body, the respiratory system and the digestive system. Doctors will pronounce me dead simply because of heart attack but clandestinely by the fallen angels or the left hand of God. I may say the dark side of God the Son but I will be using the fallen angels to avoid too much fear of God. I know that it's God the Son who tortures me to death but sometimes I have a thought that only fallen angels would torture me to death, not the dark side of God the Son. I may believe of the second coming of the Son and it would be a merciless come-back. I believe into that prophecy of St. John. He (The Son) is quite merciless and He may laugh so much after torturing me to death, just like His twelve apostles. All of them were tortured to death and I know that God laughed so much while it happens. This event happens to me nowadays. It's God in disguise who tortures me to death, not the fallen angels. And I saw Him in this character a few days ago:
I was almost dead on the sofa where I rested after midnight and I had to go out of the house in order to get some fresh air. I know that my killer is here again. I went out and see Him with a very fast changing body. His face changed once in a while with the faces of my university 'enemies' before. He may seem to change fraternity members' appearance into something very, very inexplicable in stature. He seemed to be disintegrating in the exosphere but He seems to return to its normal skin state. You know, the heat of the cosmic waves and it could be the heavens where He lives. His skins are fireless and He looks like Christ looking at me from the heavens. He is faster than light for me. He moves more than the speed of light or light years. I hope you understand what I am talking about. The temperature of the exosphere and His body. Superman may have felt the same heat but superman's skins did not disintegrate as the Son of God did. I am not sure but I think that God is an angel. His features change as fast as He can and I know why. Horror movies know what I am talking about. And I know what He wants me to do: To love God above all else. The problem is, how can humans love Him while sleeping? I am doomed to death but everybody must know why humans die. If humans will not obey that commandment stated above, humans will experience death. If they obey, death will not occur and only one human did the perfect obedience who is Elijah. He may not have experienced death and I guess that it may happen again. Ezequiel has the same prophecy but we had to obey the greatest commandment in order to escape death once in a while.
Fallen angels may be doing the same but they may be animals right now. I am talking about Satan the snake and Lucifer the firefly. These two animals had been encountered in my place and the funny thing was, they seemed to be playing with me.
I saw a firefly in the dark part of the house where I live in and he seemed to come from the floor, not from the air. I saw its light staring at me on the dark floor and flew towards my head with circular motion. I seemed to have a saints ring on top of my head and he flew with the golden ring. I want to be a saint and I know that it is not impossible with God. I felt scared of course and with the use of a fan, I waved him goodbye once and he continued his circular motion going up into the ceiling. Fallen angels had been like this in my place and friendship never ends alright. Fallen angels are not scary, they are the friendliest sometimes. They are animals of course. Solo firefly still visits me sometimes. They send messages and that would be a secret, just like snakes. Satan has scary feelings but Lucifer has a very friendly atmosphere. But I tell, you, both of them are very, very scared. That's why humans sometimes feel scared whenever they show up. That would be the first stage of Wisdom as the Bible says. Whenever we feel scared, we seemed to need God and that would be the start of the obedience of the greatest commandment. Thanks be to God for creating all of us! May we join Him again later...
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

Burberry Brit is what I've been looking for in a fragrance. I find it to have just the right amount of fresh, clean, citrus, sweet, powder, vanilla and amber. It lasts and lasts and I love the smell of it from the lime at the start to the vanilla/amber at the finish. It is the first time in many years that I have bought a second bottle of a perfume. I usually get bored very easily, but not with Brit. It's not overly girly or floral, nor is a scent that stands out in a crowd, but more like a sophisticated clean classy scent that I feel comfortable in on any occasion from being dressed up on a night out, a day at the office, being at home relaxing, to running errands around town. I love it.

Such a classy fragrance and an adorable bottle. My go to scent - have yet to find a fragrance I like better.
I love Brit EDP! Very warm and light hints of vanilla, almond and something sexy in there on me! Always get asked what I am wearing in the office if I wear this. Everyone pretty much smells different with every scent, thanks to pheramones!!
Sophisticated, clean, crisp and pretty. I'm knocking one lippie off because it's a tad too strong for me.
I LOVE Burberry Brit!!!! :-) I have it in the EDP, which I like more for fall/winter wear than the EDT (which I've tried). Still, I think it'll be awesome in the spring & summer anyway...but I'm sure loving it now! When you first spray it, you get a nice burst of citrus, specifically ime & pear. As it warms up, you get more of the vanilla & almonds. The great thing is it's not a foody vanilla, as other reviewers have said; it's light and AWESOME! I'm saving it as my everyday fragrance for warmer weather, but only because I never want to run out. I love the posh statement the bottle and paper sleeve makes too! I think the girl on the sleeve epitomizes both the Burberry girl and this fragrance, though it is nice enough to wear as an evening fragrance. It rocks!
When I don't want to wear my favourite J'Adore Dior, I wear this one. It's pretty, fresh, feminine, but crisp, which I like. I bought a small bottle on sale for $20, so we'll see if I repurchase at full price.
This is my signature scent. It smells sweet yet fresh at the same time. And there is a hint of masculinity in the fragrance, which I personally like. I have re-purchased it numerous times. And I get lots of compliments on it. It is a heavier scent, so I am careful not to apply too much for daytime. It also makes for a nice cuddly & warm fall/winter scent.
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this! This is my all time favorite fragrance! There just is NOTHING that compares. Viva La Juicy tries but fails! I can't even begin to describe the notes, I'm no good at that. I've heard it's very vanilla but to my nose I don't even smell vanilla at all...just try it! I've heard it's too sweet, I've heard it's foody. NONE of that is how I would describe Brit at all, it is NOT SWEET, it smells NOTHING like any food I would eat. If anything, it's very spicy and actually could even be considered masculine somewhat. It's smells nothing like the plain Burberry scent which is very floral and girly.
It's great. The EDP is much better than the EDT.
This perfume is way too sweet for me. I find it almost gag worthy.
I sprayed this on and within 5 minutes I promptly went to the bathroom to wash it off. Disgusting. If you like super sweet perfumes (like the ones they sell at Victoria's Secret) then you might want to give this one a whirl.

When I was about 11 or 12, I got it in my head that this was THE perfect, sophisticated perfume--no idea why I fixated on this particular one. That idea kind of stuck with me, and I coveted a bottle of it for years. It is a bit pricey, so I finally got one when I was 20. I have to say, it's lived up to my little-girl expectations.
I love vanilla-based scents, but they so often are either way too strong and sickeningly sweet (VS's Amber Romance comes to mind). This is definitely a vanilla, but it's more refined than other vanillas out there. I'm no perfumer, but I tend to pickup a bit of a citrus-y scent in there as well, and whatever it is, it cuts the sweetness and makes the fragrance a bit more sophisticated and complex. It's incredibly versatile--light enough for the office, but deep enough for a night out. It's certainly not a cheap fragrance (although I got mine on sale for $30 at Target, so if you look, you definitely don't have to end up paying $50+ for it), but it's well worth it. I don't LOVE the packaging, but it's definitely clean and classic--both quintessential Burberry traits, so it's hard for me to fault them for sticking to their brand. The cap could fit better, but that's my only real complaint.

Bonjour. No new episode this week, so no proper blog. But, I'm answering some of the questions that y'all have posed in response to previous blogs.
I have chosen to answer the fabulous people who asked interesting questions. I have chosen to completely ignore the naughty person who said that I look just like Margaret Hamilton, the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz.
Patti wrote: The birds in Michael's room reminded me of the the animated partridges from "The Partridge Family" opening. Did he think they were kitschy?
Them birds are one of the great mysteries of our time, up there with crop circles and the popularity of Dane Cook. I found the birds so mystifying that I've spent an inappropriate amount of time pondering what Michael might have been thinking. If I'm feeling charitable, I imagine that Michael wanted some decorative motif for his room and, under time pressure and suffering from exhaustion he just chose those birds and moved on. The less charitable me has hypothesized that he's insane. In any event, it was a bad idea, second only to them colors. I suppose he could have thought that the birds were a kitsch gesture and that it would be cute. Re: kitsch, I've often been accused of being a kitsch-enthusiast, which is totally untrue -- I actually hate kitsch. Pink flamingoes on the front lawn? No, merci. But, in the hands of some creative mavericks, traditional kitsch iconography transcends its kitschiness and becomes fantastic. For instance, I have a giant poodle lamp in my bedroom that's so big and well-crafted that I couldn't say no. I have series of clown pictures that are intricately crafted in wood marquetry and they are so brilliantly designed and made that you really can't argue with them. Sometimes it's the things in questionable taste -- inappropriate, vulgar, or a little kooky -- that make a room memorable. Diana Vreeland once said, "A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika. No taste is what I'm against." Anyway, whatever. That still doesn't make them birds okay.

This is my Great Grandpa Cicero Bell (right) and his son Oren. It's about the only photo I have of Cicero. He died in 1944 after suffering a stroke five years earlier. He was born in 1869 in Wayne County, Kentucky the oldest son of Martha E. Bell. He first married Mittie Ramsey in 1890 and they had four children, Frank, Oren, Leavie and W. C. By 1900 they moved to Texas. In September of 1900, eight days after giving birth to W. C., Mittie and W. C. both died of malaria and in October Leavie died too. Cicero and the two boys moved back to Kentucky.
In March of 1901, Cicero married Allie Spann, the widow of John Vickrey. She had a son, Bill Vickrey. Together they had four sons, Ben, Edd, Stan and Virgil. Stan was my Grandpa. They moved around quite a bit, living for some time in Illinois, Oklahoma, Kansas and finally Giltner, Nebraska.
Back in September, I posted an article on Cicero's Grandparents, John Silas Bell and Rutha Simpson and it was shared in some Wayne County, Kentucky facebook groups. From that, a descendant of their son Garner, Tammy Bell Wray, contacted me. She sent me some photos from her old trunk in the attic, including one of Garner and his wife Martha, and THIS photo! She told me the man with the banjo is her grandfather Bill Bell, son of Garner. Cicero and Bill were first cousins about six years apart in age. Cicero is holding the fiddle. Could he really play the fiddle?! Did he and Bill play often? Maybe they called themselves the "Bell Bottom Boys". Their "back up singers" may be distant relatives as well. Seriously, this photo is such a treasure! I'm very grateful to Tammy for sharing it with me!
From what I knew about Cicero before, I had the impression of a very serious, all-business kind of guy. He had lost a wife and 2 children, had 7 sons to raise, and moved around a lot as if he was always looking for something better. This photo creates an image of a casual, confident man. He looks very natural holding that fiddle, like he enjoys playing it. By the clothes they are wearing, my guess is the photo was maybe taken in the 1890's. That would have been early in his life, when he was with family back home in Kentucky.
The photo below of Cicero's sons may work to compare a likeness with the one above. Standing on the left is Bill Vickrey, Cicero's step-son. Next to Bill are Cicero's two sons with Mittie Ramsey, Frank and Oren. Seated from left to right are Cicero and Allie's sons, Virgil, Ben, Stan and Edd. This photo was taken at Cicero's funeral. Who looks most like his father?

Inside the Big East
Updated: August 27, 2003, 3:43 PM ETBy Jorge Milian | Special to ESPN Insider
A surprising new face at QB for BC. The Hurricanes discover they have the Chosen One while Pitt waits to hear if Larry Fitzgerald will be full strength by the season opener. And Temple is happy to finally have a place to call home highlight the Big East team notes. Boston College
Junior quarterback Quinton Porter will start BC's season opener on Saturday
against Wake Forest, winning a close competition against junior college
transfer Paul Peterson. Peterson seemed to have the advantage in the quarterback
derby after completing 20-of-26 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns in an
intrasquad scrimmage a week ago. But BC coach Tom O'Brien picked Porter
primarily because of the experience he gained during two seasons as Brian St.
Pierre's backup. "He had a huge advantage being here for two years," O'Brien said.
"One of the biggest disadvantages Peterson had was his grasp of the
offense...Right now I think (Porter) gives us the best chance to win the football game."

blogcation/grad skool rulz 2.0
I am taking a blogcation for about two weeks. But before I do, I'll make one small announcement. The sales of Grad Skool Rulz are doing well and I think it's time for an update. New cover, new content. I'll work on it this coming semester, once some other projects are done. So if there is something you want in the new edition, put it in the comments. Also, once the new edition is released, the first 100 copies will be free.
PS. Don't forget – if you have an idea for a guest post, feel free to send it in.

"foucault kids"
Last week, I wrote about the strengths and weaknesses of the Indiana style of graduate training. In summary, Indiana succeeds by creating a very structured type of graduate education where we hammer people into the mainstream. Formally, we have a zillion requirements and informally, we do lots of 1-1 work with students. I also discussed the limits of the system. Specifically, I wrote about "Foucault kids," graduate students who are aiming for unconventional careers. In the comments, someone asked for clarification. Why exactly would the Indiana model not work for these students?
First, let's start with a discussion of the Foucault kids. In the way that I used it, I roughly mean ambitious graduate students who are doing work that crosses or combines various areas of study. Foucault, of course, was a Foucault kid. His training was in philosophy, but worked with George Canguilhem, who did work on the philosophy of science. In his career, Foucault did this mutant form of work that combined philosophy, history of ideas, and other stuff. Similarly, the Foucault kid is the young scholar who sees himself as some awesome sui generis scholar that breaks boundaries.
Who is a Foucault kid? Not you, probably. In fact, during my graduate career in Chicago, I only met two genuine Foucault kids, this guy (who combined anthropology, ethnography, and hermenuetics) and, I think, one of his students. Later, I've seen them here and there, mainly at other elite programs in sociology. You also see them in idiosyncratic programs, like the Committee on Social Thought. But still, overall, they're rare. I've met lots of brilliant people, but they exist mainly within the confines of sociology or some other discipline.
So, what sort of training does such a person need? It is unclear to me since we have little data. Many Foucault kids end up flailing, they can't complete their dissertations, and you never hear from them. The license to "be great" is often interpreted as a demand for perfectionism, or endless procrastination, or being so weird that no one will take them seriously.
I can offer two hypotheses about what might work for a Foucault kid: (a) no training, just let them wander and demand a dissertation at the end, or (b) demand high quality training but allow weird or unusual combinations of fields. The Indiana model doesn't do either (a) or (b) well. In fact, our model is the opposite where we require people to be strongly grounded in a disciplinary mainstream. I don't think it would hurt a Foucault kid, but it would probably frustrate them and probably waste their time. In the end, I think it mainly comes to having just a few faculty members who can tolerate the weirdness of the Foucault kid and teach them the academic survival skills so that they won't become the legendary 12th year grad student whose dissertation went uncomplete and unread.

grad skool rulz #35: co-authoring
I was recently asked about co-authoring. How does a graduate student co-author? Is it good to do so? What are the rules?
1. In general, co-authoring is a good thing. You'll see that most successful graduate students publish with faculty or student co-authors. Brian Uzzi's work shows that co-authorship (vs. solo authorship) is correlated with citations and impact. There are exceptions. For example, many hiring and promotion committees will want to see at least one article sole authored. Of course, much qualitative work is also single authored.
2. How to find co-authors: Usually, people in most fields are used to co-authoring. You can ask faculty for help, they might approach you, or you can recruit buddies. In general, c0-authoring is serious business. Research is time intensive and it can shape your career. So choose partners who are (a) reliable and (b) bring something to the table. With respect to (b), the co-author can have a technical skill, area of knowledge, or simple be a good "sounding" board that writes/co-writes the article.
3. How to do it: This varies a great deal. I've done the full range. In some cases, you write most of it and co-authors do a little extra work. Other cases, the work is equally divided. In yet other cases, you do a modest amount. But it really helps to lay it out early. For example, in my work with Michael Heaney, we always jointly work out the argument and data analysis, but the actual writing shifts back and forth.
4. Author order: Every discipline has different rules. These include alphabetical, by seniority, the biomedical model (lead author firsts, senior person last, and fighting for middle sports) and "higher is better" (i.e., the more work you do, the more toward the top you get). In sociology, we do "higher is better" unless it's clear that it's alphabetical. So it is important to not get buried as author #6. Though, in some cases, there is such a premium on top journals that even author #6 on an ASR or AJS article will get a huge career pay off.

what i will be sure to tell my grad students when i find that perfect fitting academic job
This guest post is written by Nicolette Manglos-Weber. She is a research assistant professor at the University of Notre Dame. Her work has appeared in Social Forces, Sociological Perspectives, and Sociology of Religion.
In many of the discussions I hear and read about preparing grad students for the brutal academic job market in sociology, one key point often gets missed or ignored: it's a very different thing to be prepared in a specialty area with dozens of jobs being advertised each cycle (i.e. criminology, medical/health) than it is to be prepared when the advertisements in your area come in a trickle (i.e. religion, culture). Perhaps it seems so obvious that it doesn't need to be said, but it's incredibly important, and something I think more grad students should know about much, much earlier in their programs when they are choosing their thesis topics (or, even better, when they are applying to grad school in the first place).
As was typical, at least in my cohort, I chose my topic purely on the basis of what I found most fascinating and who among the faculty I seemed to be simpatico with. I was certainly informed that focusing on religion in sub-Saharan Africa might make it more difficult to publish, but then in my third year I published my M.A. thesis in a good specialty journal, landed a publication in a top ASA journal as first author, and had an R&R as sole author at a solid mid-tier generalist journal. At the time, I thought to myself, "Phew. So that's taken care of!" I was doing what I was told to do, getting better and better at it each day, and enjoying myself. I had high hopes of avoiding the post-doc market completely and landing a TT job on my first year out, mainly because as an unpartnered young person I didn't want to bounce around the country alone for several years.
the 3 P's of grad skool advising
This is a post for people in R1 programs who have dissertation students. I am only writing this after I've gone through the job market search with two students. One got a great job – but I had nothing to do with it! It was a good administrative job that fit with the student's career goals and found without my assistance. The other student has found a very competitive academic position. So, the play book worked. Also, I am only writing this after seeing 10 years of IU job searches, and others, including my own.
Here it goes. Proper PhD advising boils down to three major issues – Patience, Professionalism, and Publication. In detail:
- Patience – the training of PhDs is, literally, a multi-year process. During this time, people switch topics, advisers, jobs, career goals, and a whole lot more. They also grow as people. Given the great change that people experience, you need patience to help people with where they are going. You need patience with half-baked topics. You need patience with mistaken regression models. You need patience, patience, patience.
- Professionalism – Nuts and bolts matter as well. You need to be present (physically and mentally). You need to get the paper work done – letters need to be written and paperwork signed. You need ways student can contact you. You need to calmly explain your standards and then show people how to accomplish them.
- Publication – In most fields, you either need publication for jobs or for promotion. Good advisers can help students develop a strategy for converting research into finished products in a reasonable amount of time. Good advisers will pull no punches. Unless you are an elite student at an elite school, you will need publications for an academic job and your adviser needs to clearly communicate that.
Sure, a few people will finish their PhDs and get jobs with nutty mentors or absent super stars. But most successful PhDs have a decent prof who, in some form, practices the three P's.

grad skool rulz #32: don't screw up graduate skool
I strongly believe that graduate education in America is exploitative and structurally flawed. The system requires cheap teaching labor and lab assistants, but provides no incentives for quality training or professorial accountability. But still, that doesn't mean that students should abrogate responsibility for their careers. Here are some simple (though not easy) things that can help you to make sure you aren't screwing up:
- Show up. Even if you feel horrible, show up. No matter what. Period. Unless someone died in your family, show up.
- Do your job. Grade the papers. Do the lab work. Unless the work is extreme, take it in stride.
- Be completely realistic about how you will be evaluated from day #1 – acquire a teaching record and a record of publication. Don't have the fantasy that you will magically get the job of your dreams sans publications. Time spent on other issues is "out of pocket" – do it because you care, not because it will help you.
- Hang out with winners. These people are actually pretty easy to identify – they do well in teaching and publication and they have a track record of placement. Also, ask around to see if people are nice. Where there is smoke, there's fire.
- Be constructive. It is easy to criticize people, but it really doesn't accomplish much. Instead, if you actually offer to help and present a solution, then you'll make a difference and people will appreciate it.
- Say yes (unless it is a crazy person). In other words, join teams and accept projects, and say yes to grad school buddies. Once you get a few projects going, then you can say no.
- No excuses: the only thing that matters is task completion. It may be long or short, but everyday should involve a core task.
- Submit, submit, submit. Got rejected? No problem – just resubmit tomorrow. If you thought the reviewers were right, take a week and then resubmit. The key to success isn't submission – it's resubmission.
Some problems in academia are truly hard, but, on the other hand, there are a lot of simple things you can do from day #1 to increase the chance that you get through the program promptly and you get the career outcome that you like.

why get a sociology phd?
As you well know, I think the PhD program is a terrible choice for most students. Quite simply, the PhD program is risky (only 50% completion rate), costly (5+ years), and many disciplines have poor job prospects (e.g., most of the humanities, many biological sciences and many social sciences). Furthermore, a lot of students think it is a credential that is needed for non-academic jobs, which is not generally true.
But still, maybe you weren't phased by the "don't go to grad school speech." Maybe you really have a passion for teaching, or interpreting Foucault. Or maybe you simply don't care about the negatives associated with academic careers. I welcome you to academia. I pity you as well.
So, then, what sort of PhD should you get? Here's an argument for the sociology Ph.D.:
- Low barrier to entry – you just need a solid academic record, not extended training in math, foreign language, or other rare skills.
- You learn solid research skills like survey design, regression models, and interview technique that have non-academic labor market value.
- You can study a wide range of topics and do so almost immediately. No need to engage in endless post-docs.
- Policy relevance.
- Decent academic job prospects compared to most other fields. The sociology market is tight, but soc PhDs frequently get jobs in lots of other programs like education, business, policy, social work, and occasionally in adjacent areas like American studies, ethnic studies, political science, and anthropology.
- Broadly defined topic – if you have a real passion for a topic that is genuinely social in some way, you can probably find a way to write a dissertation on it.
The one big downside is that sociology programs adhere to the humanities model of long time to PhD. There is no need for this. If you focus on a dissertation topic early on, choose your dissertation chair wisely, and insist on getting published at least once, there is no need for your degree to take longer than 4 or 5 years.

19) The Stoop
This is why you moved here, right? To do some stoop-drinking? The Brooklyn stoop is an icon and those who have one are the envy of those who live in those horrible, stabbing reaches of glass and metal on the Williamsburg waterfront. The word "stoop," like the words "cookie" and "coleslaw," is a lexical gift from our friends the Dutch. And you know the Dutch would totally love for all of us here in Brooklyn to knock back a few beers and eat a few cookies, sitting on our stoops.

Really? You're citing Gizmodo as a reliable source? They've had a massive chip on their shoulder ever since the iPhone 4 incident. They bash Apple at the drop of hat. Not saying it may not be happening with iOS too, but Gizmodo's not what I would call impartial and objective.

Clouds are moving back in after a clear and cold night. We'll be on the cold side for today, as highs will be a few degrees either side of 40. We're also tracking a small system bringing a chance of late-day rain and snow.
For most of KELOLAND, today's big story will be the thick clouds moving in from the west. But east of the Missouri, there is the chance of some light snow. It looks like the start time will be mid-afternoon in south-central South Dakota. That will move ENE bringing a slightly better chance to the Sioux Falls area. Since most levels of the atmosphere are cold enough for snow, we could get a little more than flurries. Still, there is not much moisture in play here, so what falls should be less than an inch. We're hoping for minimal travel problems with rain changing over to snow, but this time of year icy conditions are sometimes an issue.
This compact storm system will push off towards the Sisseton area after dark. Aberdeen has slightly less of a chance at moisture this evening than Sioux Falls. Again, what we see should be light.
The Hills could also see some light snow showers, but I've taken out the chance for Rapid City today. The far west is one of the few areas that could get some late-day sunshine. Tomorrow will again be cloudy. Though a few degrees warm than today, we'll still only hit the lower 40s. We stay below average until mid-week when more sun returns.
On Tuesday a system moves through North Dakota that could provide a glancing plow to far northern South Dakota. We could see some light wintry mix in Aberdeen on Tuesday, but the chance is minimal from this far out.
The best part of the forecast is not until late week. We'll climb into more seasonal territory, even reaching the lower 60s in the far west. Still, the summer-like feel doesn't seem likely for a while!

The U.S.Supreme Court, in the 2012 Miller v. Alabama case ruled that it is unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to mandatory life without parole.
Should Miller v. Alabama be applied retroactively?
Pennsylvania has the largest population of juveniles 17 years old and under sentenced to life without parole in the United States-480. Philadelphia County has 150 juveniles sentenced to life without parole who are 17 or under.
The Pennsylvania Constitution states that a juvenile is a child up to the age of 21 years old.
The Supreme Court cited that the human brain is not filly formed until a person is 25 years old.
In addition to featuring juvenile lifers 17 and under, this site will show 18-21 year olds, a small representation of many who deserve to have their life without parole sentences vacated. Roxanne Severcool was sentenced at 17 years old, but What about Cyd Berger, Marilyn Dobrolenski and Avis Lee and many who deserve the same opportunity?
The U.S. Supreme Court, in the case Miller v. Alabama, ruled that sentencing a juvenile to a mandatory sentence of life without parole is unconstitutional, violating the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The high court ruled that judges issuing sentences must consider the offender's level of maturity and emotional development. Mandatory life without parole sentences are no longer legal, however the sentence can be imposed at the discretion of the judge.
When Ed Rendell was the mayor of Philadelphia, he legislated that cases involving the death sentence or life without parole be tried by public defenders, not court appointed attorneys. Prior to that, judges appointed attorneys, often with little or no litigation experience. Even now, there aren't enough resources to use public defenders exclusively.

A record number of delegates and exhibitors attended Water New Zealands annual Conference and Expo last week in Hamilton. On behalf of the Association I thank everyone who contributed to making the event successful. This includes, amongst others, all of our sponsors, exhibitors, the conference technical committee, presenters, session chairs, our Special Interest Groups, the IWA committee, along with Avenues, our event management contractor and Water New Zealand staff.
Representative organisations such as Water New Zealand are largely driven by members for members. Our limited resources mean that delivery of such events is largely reliant on the voluntary contribution of members who, in the course of their busy professional careers find time to go the extra mile for the good of their colleagues and the industry they serve.
This year keynote presentations were videotaped. Along with conference papers, these will be posted on our website inJanuary and members will be notified of the links at that time.
Murray Gibb
Chief Executive
Water New Zealands Annual Conference & Expo is accompanied by the largest water and wastewater trade exhibition in New Zealand. Held for the duration of the conference, the exhibition gives delegates and trade visitors the opportunity to meet with leading equipment manufacturers and service providers and see state-of-the-art equipment, technology and services. Over 100 companies take part and exhibition stands at this event are extremely popular.
Why should I exhibit?
Sponsorship opportunities are available to members of Water New Zealand for the Conference & Expo, as well as several specialty conferences and events undertaken throughout the year. Sponsorship packages vary according to the event and benefits of investment depend on the amount of sponsorship commitment and the type of package. Flexibility is a key in providing sponsors with value for money.
The Conference & Expo is the Associations pre-eminent event for the calendar year and has three categories of sponsorship packages. Premier sponsorship is limited to six opportunities per year. Sponsors receive a complimentary expo stand, promotional opportunities at every stage of conference management and participation, including advertising on conference satchels, pads and pens, as well as complimentary tickets to social functions.

The Grove is a challenging space to play in, and seating is uncomfortable since dinner tables are set up so that you end up sitting perpendicular to the stage. Certainly you can move your chair, but if it's a full house, it is hard to maneuver so that you are not blocking people.Shawn Colvin & Steve Earle: Songs & Stories, Together On Stage info • Jul 14 2014 star this tip starred

First of all, I always love going to the Grove. It's a fun venue for whatever you are seeing. I am a huge Chelsea Lately fan and loved seeing these four regulars from her roundtable panel. It is definitely adult humor and not appropriate for kids. After the show, they had a photographer that took your picture with the four comedians and Chuy! I thought we would have to purchase them, but was pleasantly surprised to find them available for free on their website. We laughed til it hurt!

My host is using SquirrelMail, from the Squirrel panel I can send mail, besides I can receive the mail too. Took simple code to test:
$to = 'email@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: firstname.lastname@example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: email@example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo '1';
}else echo '2';
SMTP localhost
smtp_port 25
sendmail_from no value | no value
sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f **MAIL** | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
where **MAIL** is my personal mail, not the one, I want to send from
But with my script I cant send email. Receive 2. wtf ?

Just days after AMC announced that it was working on a Saul-themed Breaking Bad spin-off series (to be titled Better Call Saul), the cable network released a statement saying that it is working on a new show that takes place in the Walking Dead universe. The new, yet-to-be-titled series (we'd like to suggest, Walking Dead: The College Years), which hits primetime in 2015, won't be based on any existing characters, but will instead follow a totally different group of zombie apocalypse survivors. In the statement, series creator Robert Kirkman said, "The opportunity to make a show that isn't tethered by the events of the comic book, and is truly a blank page, has set my creativity racing." Now, all we need is a Mad Men spin-off, and AMC will be good to go for the next five years … Discuss
