No deal between FIDE and UEP, negotiations failed
UEP, the company that organized the 2008 World Championship Match between Anand and Kramnik successfully, made an official bid to FIDE in February to organize the Candidates event in 2010 and the World Championship Match in 2011, but "due to different agendas relating to organisational sovereignty and commercial rights" (UEP) the parties failed to reach an agreement.
FIDE issued the following press release:
FIDE announces that the negotiations with Universal Event Promotion (UEP), the original bidder for organising the final stages of the World Championship cycle 2009-2011 (Candidates Tournament and Final Match), did not reach a final agreement. FIDE is already in contact with other organisers and sponsors interested in holding these events.
Released by the FIDE Secretariat - 12 May 2009
After we received this press release yesterday we immediately contacted both the World Chess Federation and Universal Event Promotion. At the moment of writing FIDE hasn't responded yet, while UEP's spokesman only wanted to say that they are still "planning several activities. As soon as something is ripe for decision we get back to it." Today they sent their own press release to the media:
Negotiations with FIDE failed
The negotiations over the organisation of the forthcoming World Championship cycle 2010-2011 (Candidates Tournament 2010 and World Chess Championship Match 2011) between Universal Event Promotion (UEP) and FIDE have failed.
Due to different agendas relating to organisational sovereignty and commercial rights, the parties failed to reach an agreement. Aggravating circumstances included FIDE's financial expectations beyond the original tender details.
UEP - the only bidder for the tender - believes that under such circumstances a permanent and successful marketing of the World Chess Championship will be questionable. The negotiations ended by mutual agreement.
(UEP news service 13th of May 2009)
It's a pity that we'll probably never learn more about the details of this story. A sad story, since UEP did a fine job in Bonn last year, and their bid seemed very good news back in February. Although FIDE has a lot of time to find alternatives for the organisation of the 2010-2011 events, it remains to be seen whether something of similar quality will present itself.
But first there's Anand-Topalov of course, scheduled to be held somewhere early 2010. We'll post the bidding procedure down here, as we hadn't mentioned it yet on ChessVibes. Most importantly, potential organizers need to communicate their plans not later than September 30th this year.
Athens, 24 April 2009
1.The FIDE Presidential Board, during its meeting in Istanbul 7-8 March 2009, decided to open a bidding procedure for the FIDE World Championship Match 2010 (FWCM 2010) between the current World Champion GM V. Anand (India) and Challenger GM V. Topalov (Bulgaria).
2.Each bid shall contain the following particulars as minimum:-
a) Proposed exact dates of the event in April 2010.
b) Proposed tournament venue.
c) Proposed prize fund for the players (minimum 1,000,000 euros & should be offered net of any applicable taxes).
d) The contribution to FIDE (net of any applicable taxes and not less than 20% of the prize money) as stipulated in Article 13.2 as well as the financial obligations stated in Article 14 of the Rules & Regulations of the FIDE World Championship Match 2010
e) Commitment to cover all the other financial obligations to FIDE, in accordance with the Rules & Regulations of the FIDE World Championship Match 2010
f) Commitment to cover all organizational costs, in accordance with the match regulations.
g) Category of official hotel (minimum 4- stars), and name if possible, with special room rates including meals.
h) A statement that the applicant accepts the regulations of the match without any reservations.
i) An invitation for at least (two) members of the FIDE Commission for World Chess Championships and Olympiads to inspect the proposed venue and examine the other conditions, with all travel/hotel expenses paid by the bidder.
j) The applicant's name, signatures and authentication.
3.In order for a proposed bid to be considered, it should be accompanied by a 8-month term bank guarantee covering the amount of prize fund (minimum 1,000,000 euros), the FIDE contribution (20% over and above the prize fund), 5% for WCO budget and 5% for the commercial rights and 32,500 euros covering stipends of Principals as described in article 14.4 of the match regulations. This guarantee should be from a bank that FIDE bankers, UBS of Switzerland, are able to confirm as acceptable. Alternatively to the above paragraph, a bidder can deposit in FIDE's bank account the amount of 100,000 euros by the deadline of 30 September 2009 (refundable if the bid is rejected), another 60% of the prize fund by 30 November 2009 and the balance by 21 January 2010.
4. A bid is considered to be valid if it is accompanied with a non-refundable Bid Fee of 2,000 euros payable to FIDE.
5.No bidder can propose a sponsor which shall be in conflict with the regulations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
6.The bids, including all original documents and particulars, shall arrive by registered post to the FIDE Secretariat, post address: 9 Syggrou Ave., 11743 Athens - Greece. The bidding process will close on 30 September 2009, 13:00 GMT.
7.When the deadline has expired, the FIDE President or his representative shall open the received envelopes in order to assess the bids. FIDE will inform any bidding parties of the results of the process by 9 October 2009 the latest.
8.FIDE reserves the right not to award any bid, however favourable.

You´re missing an important point. FIDE changed the candidate cycle to comply with UEP´s plans. As a consequence Carlsen and Adams dropped out of the Grandprix and one Grandprix organiser (Karlovy Vary) withdrew. The damage has been done without even producing a solid organiser for the cycle in question. FIDE has to sort out if they stick to their last announcement of three rounds of k.o.-matches among eight candidates to produce a challenger and stay with the burden to find an organiser. This spells bad news for the top players and the credibility of the chess world championship unless FIDE comes up with something soon.

The UEP thing will be on again soon enough, is my guess. FIDE are just probably trying to get more money again, as when they upped the price the Bulgarians suddenly had to pay much more to get the Topalov-Kamsky match they already had been given. When FIDE realise that they won't get the bribes they want this time, they will have to settle with UEP, if the latter haven't realised for good by now that you should avoid business with such a corrupt organisation as FIDE.

FIDE is too corrupt to deal with, they probably saw the big money involved and tried to bribe UEP. There should REALLY be another organization taking care of chess, why do we need them? let them take all the little corrupt national chess organizations and have a new one, yes, scism! what the heck, FIDE is uncorrectable.

Over the last years FIDE have at least managed one very difficult thing, that is to make Danailov seem like a highly competent, fair and reasonable organiser of chess events in comparison. :)

"8.FIDE reserves the right not to award any bid, however favourable."
Why not : "The best offer according to the first 7 points will win the auction"
This paragraph shows that fide is not an objectiv organisation guided by law and regulation but one wich depends on personal interests.For me it's clear that they didn't agree about theyr personal rewards.

Possibly (!), the idea to organise Candidates event was first published in the Russian (mega) newspaper Sport-Express, in the 6th round report from the Dresden Olympiad: there was an interview by Yury Vasilyev with Makropoulos, and there Makropoulos speaks about his proposal (candidates event) and there Makropoulos confirms that Resch UEP are ready to organise such an event. Makropoulos said that Anand, Kramnik, Topalov any no one else would object against the Candidates tournament.
Link is here (in Russian, indeed)
IMHO, the idea to organise the 6th FIDE GP event possibly in Chechnya (as Ilyumzhinov said in Baku; he also named Oman as a possible venue) is more scandalous than just a possible collapse of another FIDE event (it is something completely usual and can make people sleepy).
Chechya is very dangerous, also as a trend. The next FIDE idea may be, I do know, Somalia, or Afghanistan, once someone pays them what they are requesting (officially or otherwise). Most of decision-makers in FIDE are fundamentally immoral people.

Dodge Ram Warning Lights and Trouble Codes
P0138 is high voltage in oxygen sensor 2 located rear of catalytic convertor. Possible causes:
1 Faulty oxygen sensor
2 Short in sensor circuit
3 High fuel pressure (not very likely but keep this in mind)
Check O2 sensor and look for short in signal circuit.
On a recent trip, I drove my 2004 Ram 3500 Diesel (Auto tranny, 95,000 miles) about 400 miles, no problem. I ate lunch and resumed my trip. 2 miles later, truck would not pull away from traffic light. Added 2 qts tranny fluid, which ran out below truck. Hauled truck home, replaced front tranny seal. At engine start, place in drive, after 3-5 seconds Truck has strong first or reverse, but what should be a shift to second is instead neutral. Kill and restart, and again I have a strong first or reverse for 50 ft, then neutral . Especially welcome comments from kcram and dustyk. bobwinner
tiger38 Posts: 6I HAVE A 1998 DODGE 2500 DIESEL . MY ABS LIGHT AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS IS STAYING ON.DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS ? HOW DO YOU CHECK THE CODES ON MY TRUCK ? AND MY SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING UP TOO IT WON'T MOVE UNTIL YOU REACH ABOUT 30 MPH HEN IT SHOOTS UP REAL QUICK, ANY IDEAS ?
Depends on how long that seal had been leaking (or if that's not the only issue). You also want to look at the lines to the radiator/cooler - if those have failed, they can take the trans with it if not addressed in time.
With only first and reverse (and for just a short time each time you try to run), it sounds fried. When the fluid you added came straight through to the ground, that was likely a sign that you were dry and the major damage was done.
I have the same powertrain (Cummins and 47RE) in my 05 3500, and so far, my trans has been just fine [knocking on wood]

Brakes and everything is working fine, I am sure it is a sensor, but the parts houses are telling me that the abs is a different system that the check engine light. They want to sell me an ABS computer to check the issue.. I find it hard to believe that all of this is not monitored through the same computer.... Is this true or not, and does anyone know what sensor is the likely culprit...The Speedo is working fine, so I know its not that one
Egr position sensor performance.Since it's part of 5/50 government emission warranty you may be able to have the dealer do the repair. If not, it is located behind the alternator attached to the front of the right cylinder head:

I've got a 2004 RAM 2500 4X4. Auto Zone was kind enought to plug in and let me know why my Brake Light, ABS and Check Engine light was on. In addition, my AC button light will not illuminate, nor will my mirror defrosters. His little gadget told me I had a P0501 code and after he checked his system for a part, he indicated he didn't have the one called out for a vehicle Speed Sensor - and that I need to get it from the dealer. However, he did have the Transmission speed sensor for like $16, but not the "vehicle speed sensor". Does this make sense that there are two different speed sensors? Anyone else run into this? Where would the vehicle speed sensor be located? Thanks for any help!
I'm a new member. I have 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 w/ the Cummins diesel. A few days ago, I got a "no bus" message on my odometer, and none all of my gauges/instruments stopped working. The low fuel, ABS, check engine, and airbag lights also came on. On the overhead display, all readings showed "CCd", except for the elapsed time. The truck still started and ran fine, but the warning lights listed above would come back on shortly after starting each time.
Yesterday, all but the check engine light went off and the gauges started working again. Then, today, the check engine light went off. All seems fine now, but I'm wondering if the symptoms described lead anyone to conclude what the problem is/was (Gremlins!).
Haven't had any replies yet, but what I gather from reading other posts in this forum is that the "no bus" message means that the instrument cluster or the part of the system that communicates with it isn't getting getting a signal to the instruments. What may have fixed my problem (besides prayer) is that I checked all the wiring connections from the fuse module under the hood to the ones under the dash. When I got under the dash, the main connection (located toward the outside of the dash or door side, and fairly obvious due to its size) had come loose from its bracket. I made sure the wiring connection itself was securely connected and then placed it back in the steel bracket. I don't know if there is some kind of grounding connection required that is established by the bracket or not (I doubt it), but it was the next day that things started to work. I also recall reading somewhere in the posts in this thread that it takes a few starts and shut-offs or a few trips over a certain speed to clear some of the warning codes and lights, so perhaps the jiggling and re-bracketing the main plug like I did fixed the issue(s) and the lights just took 1-2 days to clear.
Hope that helps. Hopefully, one of the gurus like Dusty or Kcram will get on and give you some help. You might also consider taking it to a reputable shop (if you know of one) and having them just run a diagnostic (hooking it up to their computer) to get a start on the diagnosis. I think prices for that run the gamut, but it shouldn't cost you more than an hour of labor just to rn the computer check.
I'm a new member. I have 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 w/ the Cummins diesel. A couple weeks ago, I got a "no bus" message on my odometer, and all my instruments stopped working. The low fuel, ABS, check engine, and airbag lights also came on. On the overhead display, all readings showed "CCd", except for the elapsed time. The truck still started and ran fine, but the warning lights listed above would come back on shortly after starting each time.
Last week, I checked all the wiring connections in the fuse box under the hood, and the wiring connections between there and under the dash. The only thing I found was that the largest of the plugs, toward the drivers door under the dash, had come loose from its "mounting bracket", so I put it back in the bracket.
The next day, all but the check engine light went off and the gauges started working again. Then, the day after that, the check engine light went off. All seemed fine until yesterday, when a couple of hours into a trip, all the lights came on again and all the gauges went to zero.
The truck still runs fine and the cruise control even still works, but I'm getting no "data" from the truck. I've read through several other posts, including the one on Engine codes and transmission problems, but can find very little info on the "no bus" message. Anyone have any ideas? DustyK are you still out there?
"No bus" means your dashboard has lost connection with the computer. The truck will continue to run because it doesn't require the dashboard to do so, and the computer is maintaining info such as mph and odometer in its memory.
This was a common occurrence on Rams of that timeframe... a trip to the dealer will cure it.

The Lacebark Elm has a(n) Rounded shape.
Considered a handsome and very durable tree, the Lacebark Elm is attractive as a street tree because of its ability to grow in adverse conditions and its relative freedom from the diseases that have ravaged many other Elm species.
The Lacebark Elm provides nesting sites for small animals and birds.
This landscape standout earned the name Lacebark Elm for its distinctive bark, which is mottled instead of ridged as in other Elms, and often creates colorful patterns in its tree trunk. A native of China, Korea and Japan, the tree was introduced to America in 1794.
This tree has normal moisture requirements, with some flood tolerance and drought resistance.
Leaves are a dark, glossy green and range from 3/4 to 2 inches long and are the smallest of the elms.

This graceful tree has a rounded crown adorned with lustrous dark green leaves changing to yellow and reddish purple in fall. This landscape standout earned the name Lacebark Elm for its distinctive bark, which is mottled instead of ridged as in other Elms, and often creates colorful patterns in its tree trunk. Medium to fast-growing, this Elm adapts to many soil conditions, making it a tough and durable tree for any situation. Grows 40' to 50' with 40' spread. (Zones 5-9)
Each tree is guaranteed to grow, or we'll replace it at one half the original price, plus shipping and handling.
Our trees are delivered with natural bare roots which have been dipped in hydrating gel prior to shipment to keep the roots moist and healthy. As their abundant, fibrous roots aren't confined by a container, bare-root trees get off to a more vigorous start compared to containerized roots which typically need more time to adjust to transplanting. Bare-root trees typically surpass the size of larger containerized trees in only a few years.
Natural root (also called bare root) trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant in the spring and fall seasons. We dip the roots in a hydrating gel to keep them moist during shipping.
There are a number of advantages to natural root trees:
The Urban Horticulture Institute at Cornell University has an interesting article about the benefits of planting natural root trees. Look for the PDF entitled Creating the Urban Forest: The Bare Root Method
Potted (also called containerized) trees come in 4" containers.

BlackBerry Messenger 7 Launched, Make Free Voice Calls
Call contacts for free over a WiFi connection.
Research In Motion has released BlackBerry Messenger 7, with the latest version of the service allowing users to text or talk with their BBM contacts.
The company integrated a new voice feature in the updated version of BBM, which allows users to execute free phone calls to BBM contacts through a local WiFi connection.
Users can start off the conversation by texting and then switch to a voice call if they should wish to do so. BlackBerry Messenger subscribers can also see when their BBM contacts are available for a voice call.
RIM launched the new BBM voice calling feature via the app's beta last month and noted it received a positive response from testers. 90 percent of those surveyed said they would utilize BBM Voice while traveling. BBM 7 also includes a split-screen feature to help manage multiple tasks such as texting, checking e-mail and making phone calls.
BlackBerry ID is also included; it backs up a user's BBM contacts, profiles and groups, which is then automatically restored when a new BlackBerry device is activated.
Currently, BlackBerry 7 supports smartphones running BlackBerry 6 or higher, with RIM saying support for BlackBerry 5 will come sometime during 2013.

Florida Farmer's Market
So…I'll say this quickly… I just got back from a two week holiday in Florida. What can I say, it was gorgeous. No need for temperature details here but one thing I wanted to post about was this amazing farmer's market that I went to in Orlando.
It was in the centre of the park, there was jazz music, tons of people baking yummy food and a myriad of stalls overflowing with Oranges, Lemons, all colours of Bell Peppers and hot Peppers and all sizes and shapes of Tomato – plus a few things that I'd never seen before, including a Pear-Apple hybrid!
The presentation – overflowing baskets – made me want to scoop up the whole lot and take it all home.
I like the fact that you were given a woven basket to shop with. I felt like the head cook of a stately house, browsing the kitchen garden and picking only the best produce for my recipe. Gorgeous!

Wow indeed.
Makes me want to hop on a flight and catch some sun and warmth.
# Nick Pettiton 01 Feb 2011 at 10:53 pm
Oh wow! Do you know where in Orlando? There are a few different farmer's markets, but this one looks great! :)
# Susanon 01 Feb 2011 at 11:14 pm
The colours are amazing. It really brings home how drab it is here at this time of year. Roll on spring.
# TubbyMikeon 02 Feb 2011 at 1:40 am
Rats! I lived in Lake Mary for a while and I never got wind of this. Wish I had. Those tomatoes do look very good. The closest I got was at my friend's house when he offered me juice and then walked out to his back yard and took some clemantines off the bush and straight into the juicer. Yum. I guess not hearing about these markets is part of the joy of working in IT. All work and no play…
At least I tried to walk Daytona Beach every Saturday. Happy days.
wow, those chillies look awesome!
That looks so juicy and delicious. I can't wait til the spring kicks in here!
Hi Nick, It's at Lake Eola Park, every Sunday, so I believe. The fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing too.
My mouth is watering just looking at the pictures. It's too much for a cold February day in Britain. Those fruits are just to dream of at this time of the year.
# normalityandmeon 02 Feb 2011 at 5:47 pm
I love farmers markets. I live in Winchester which has a great one twice a month. Won the 2011 Farmers Market of the year too. Whoop for Winchester!
I think if we had Florida temperatures and woven baskets to shop with as well as the great food i might just die and go to foodie heaven.
Great photos – a visual treat on a snowy day like today – 8 inches last night and another 18 to 24 inches today! Love the blog..
# janerowenaon 02 Feb 2011 at 7:30 pm
I used to live in Winchester – I can vouch for the farmer's market, normailtyandme!
My mother had one of those trees that are a cross between pears and apples. They are lovely. She called it Asian Pear. The crops on it were enormous, far greater than on a pear tree. I used them to make wine, as well as pies etc.
# Svetlaon 03 Feb 2011 at 2:37 pm
I don't want to disappoint you, folks, but what you see is not locally produced. It is stuff imported from Mexico and further south. This winter is one of the coldest in Florida on record. And yes, you can have early tomatoes and peppers in Florida. Early June, not early February.
Amazing selection of peppers!
Wow, all that produce looks amazing! I don't care if it comes from Mexico. It's just the inspiration needed to get going here at this time of year.
Everything looks so yummy!
great to have you back, hope you had fun
# K Thomason 06 Feb 2011 at 4:02 pm
Look at that presentation! Only the Americans can it like that. We were in New England during fall, and their roadside displays of squashes, pumpkins and chrysanthemums nearly made us crash the car!
I was just saying to my boyfriend that the People's Supermarket should display their produce like this. It would be like a food shop equivalent of lush.
Great selection of vegetables and they all look so delicious!

In 2000 I was approached to develop an Intro Cinematic for the game Gunman Chronicles which was being produced by Rewolf Software, and published by Sierra, through Valve Software.
The project started off in June of 2000, I handled everything from the rough storyboarding process up to the final completion of FMV (Full motion Video). The project lasted just over 3 months and consisted of using in-game character models for the main characters in the FMV, and then using some textures from the game to produce the environments, buildings and other locations from the ground up.
Everything was setup in 3DS Max 3.1 and composited together in Digital Fusion. Rendering was done using my workstation and 2 other dedicated PCs. The sound FX and music for the FMV was handled by another subcontractor of Rewolf Software, and voice acting was acquired by Valve Software.
It was a tough project with many hurdles and long hours, that was accomplished only through dedication and hard work, which I put into all of my contracting efforts. It was later in the year of 2001 that I entered the Intro into the 3D Festival in Denmark, which has become one of the biggest 3D events in Europe for this industry, and the FMV took the award for Best Game Intro of the year. I feel a great accomplishment form my work on the Gunman Chronicles and I look forward to more challenging projects like it.
Return To Quality
Gunman Chronicles
All the scenes with clouds, gas spirals, explosions, dust and so on were done with Afterburn and all the animations were either motion capture library source or keyframe animations that I animated or blended together to achieve what was needed for the FMV.
The project was quite a challenge because I was the only person assigned to it at the time and it was my very first actual 3D project, other than anything I had done for my own personal improvement in 3D. The work days were on average 14-16 hours with some going on for a full 24 hours. In the 3 months I had to complete a shot every second day, with the full storyboards consisting of about 50 shots, of which about 45 made it into the final FMV.

Fact; The above photo's were only turned slightly when I uploaded them to edit. I've found an amazing camera setting for outside. I shoot with a Nikon D5100 and the setting I used for the photo above was, Scene Wheel then food. It's true, this is the food setting. I was taking photo's of a couple of crock pot recipes and accidentally kept it on that setting for my morning photos. Little did I know this mistake was going to turn how I take photo's upside down,amazing. I think I need to play with more of my settings, who knew (besides the people at Nikon?)!!
YAY for camera setting mistakes!

Cereal promotes milk and nutrient consumption.
Forty-one percent of the milk consumed by 6- to 12-year olds is consumed with cereal.7 The figure is even higher for African-American and Hispanic children.6
Vitamin D occurs naturally in many foods such as salmon, beef liver and eggs.
But it can be difficult to get enough of these foods, especially for kids. That's where fortified foods can help.
General Mills fortifies its entire line of kid cereals with calcium and vitamin D.
About half of the milk in African-American and Hispanic kids' diets is consumed with cereal.6
Milk contains nutrients like calcium and vitamin D that are critical for developing strong, healthy bones. Research estimates that only one in 10 American kids gets enough vitamin D, and about six out of 10 kids don't get the recommended amounts of calcium.6, 38
New studies also show that vitamin D may reduce the risk of a number of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes.39
For children aged 4 to 12, ready-to-eat cereal with milk delivers 11 percent of their calcium and 24 percent of their vitamin D intakes each day.6
In addition, new research shows that ready-to-eat cereal is an especially important source of nutrients for children who do not have enough food to eat.
For these children, ready-to- eat cereal helps provide iron, B vitamins and milk.40

WASHINGTON - Blueberry lovers have hit the jackpot.
The New York Times reports the tiny berries do more to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes than many other fruits.
Eating one to three servings a month decreases the risk by about 11 percent, according to the research group BMJ, which used data from three larger studies. Five servings a week cuts the risk by nearly 30 percent, according to the research.
Grapes, apples and grapefruit help reduce the risk, too, according to the research.
However, strawberries, oranges, peaches, plums and apricots do very little, researchers found.
But across the board, substituting juice for whole fruits increases the risk for Type 2 diabetes.
"Increasing whole fruit consumption, especially blueberries, apples and grapes, is important," Dr. Qi Sun, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard and the senior author of the study, told the New York Times.
"But I don't want to leave the impression that fruit is magic. An overall healthy lifestyle is essential too."

Counter service but cozy.
A multitude of choices but a simple few ways to use them.
Carrburritos is an interesting mix: Sort of Moes, sort of the old La Paz (for folks who remember its previous incarnations), this blends a fast-food ordering system with a nicely lit casual dining area done in Southwestern colors. Gold walls, deep purple window hangings and bright flowered plastic tablecloths enliven the dining area, while a dramatically ominous poster titled (in Spanish) Alcohol: Here is the enemy is posted in the bar/lounge area, right across from the blackboard listing all the margaritas.
(Those range from the Davidson RED Cactus of tequila, Triple Sec, housemade sour mix and cran-raspberry juice, to something called a Malibu Red Grapefruit, employing a coconut rum flavored tequila.
Carrburritos originated in Carrboro (get it?) and operated for more than a decade before spawning this, in what had been a chunk of the Wooden Stone Gallery in downtown Davidson. This location is owned by the originals owners, Gail and Bill Fairbanks, with longtime Davidson residents Doug and Edie Surratt (who co-founded Davidsons farmers market). The women are sisters.
Here, the menu adds a few more family-friendly items to match its wider customer range, and the new Baja shrimp has proven quickly popular. That joins tilapia, beef, pork, chicken, local sweet potatoes made into a mash with caramelized onions, and roasted vegetables as main fillings plus a housemade chorizo (they get the ground pork, then season it themselves). Doug Surratt recommends putting chorizo and sweet potato together in, say, a burrito, and hes right: Its a terrific combination.
In addition to burritos, you can get tacos (made with corn or flour tortillas or crispy corn shells), tostadas or quesadillas. You pick and choose among the usual accompaniments, from guacamole and sour cream to black or pinto beans. Half a dozen salsas are available, too pineapple and cilantro is popular, but there are also a smoky chipotle and a kick-heavy habanero.
Appetizers range from salsa or guac and chips to ceviche made with tilapia a mite underseasoned for me, with hard-to-manage big chunks of fish, but a nice texture.
Service can be a little more leisurely than youd like, and dishes dont arrive uniformly hot, which youd really want from a quick-service-to-table spot, but servers bring a familiar warmth and welcoming vibe. Its a nice addition.

By Lori Michelle Ryan, JIST Publishing
Federal job seekers are often frustrated with, overwhelmed by or puzzled over the complex federal hiring process. In their new book, "Find Your Federal Job Fit," authors Janet Ruck and Karol Taylor explain that the "federal application process, which is unlike any other, can be cumbersome and confusing at times. It is based on a set of laws and regulations that were written for a specific purpose. Over time, layers of new laws were added. Eventually they created a morass of rules that now make up the federal hiring system."
Federal job seekers, especially those just starting their searches, often make easily avoidable mistakes during the application process. In their book, Ruck and Taylor highlight 11 mistakes that many federal job seekers make and how to avoid them.
- Beginning your search without knowing what job you want: "Time spent in self-assessment and career exploration can pay dividends in seeking and finding a federal job that fits."
- Taking any federal job to get your foot in the door of government: "Lateral transfers often are difficult to obtain. Given the arduous hiring process, federal managers are reluctant to allow employees to move from their current positions."
- Focusing only on Washington, D.C.: "Only 15 percent of federal jobs are in D.C."
- Overlooking networking: "Although federal law requires that the federal application process adhere to strict guidelines, you can find out about federal opportunities in many ways."
- Applying with a generic résumé: "A one-size-fits-all résumé robs you of the opportunity to market your qualifications in the context of the job."
- Not promoting yourself: "In a competitive marketplace, applicants who have the ability to toot their own horn are likely to get noticed, interviewed and hired."
- Applying for everything: "You are wasting your time by applying for a position without sufficiently analyzing the vacancy announcement."
- Not targeting application materials to your audience: "Give yourself a chance to get an interview by analyzing the vacancy announcement and writing for your audience."
- Choosing jobs based on salary only: "If the salary for a federal position seems low compared to what you earned in the private sector, consider the many benefits of federal employment."
- Applying only for jobs on USAJobs: "Federal law does not require that vacancies be posted on USAJobs [the federal government's official jobs website]; the law requires only that jobs be advertised. Some federal agencies post their jobs on their own websites only."
- Misrepresenting your background and experience: "It is certainly important to sell yourself, but do so authentically and honestly."
Rich Feller, professor of counseling and career development at Colorado State University, says Ruck and Taylor's advice comes at the perfect time.
"The federal government needs the best and brightest to deliver solutions in agencies that focus on issues from Main Street to outer space," Feller says. "Fortunately, this book lands at the right time when many workers feel nervously employed, discouraged and eager to find some certainty, a second chance or a new purpose."

U.S. Census Bureau Daily Feature For January 5
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO)
SATURDAY, JANUARY 5: MINIMUM WAGEProfile America — Saturday, January 5th. The business world was startled on this date in 1914, when Henry Ford announced that he would pay his workers a minimum wage of $5 a day, which is about $116 today. The idea eventually gained general acceptance, and in 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law a federally mandated minimum wage of 25 cents an hour. Currently, the hourly minimum wage is $7.25. There are nearly 74 million hourly workers in the U.S., 3.8 million of them paid at or below the minimum wage. Households in the bottom 20 percent of income earn no more than $20,262 per year. You can find more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.

Can you really stream uncompressed 1080p wirelessly with the brite-View Air SyncHD
Subject: Displays | May 2, 2011 - 06:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: widi, wireless, hd, 1080p, stream
Wireless video streaming is nothing new to PC Perspective, in 2010 we saw Intel's WiDi technology and Ryan was streaming 1080p Iron Man using the Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 WHDI card (aka Little Cthulhu). A new way to achieve the same results is with the brite-View Air SyncHD which Missing Remote just reviewed. Read on to see if this is worth ~$230 of your hard earned money.
"If wirelessly transmitting a Blu-ray stream (which tops out around 50mbps) is questionable, transmitting uncompressed 1080p/60 video seems downright impossible. Yet, that is exactly what brite-View claims to do with their Air SyncHD transmission kit. In a nutshell, the brite-View Air SyncHD transmission kit promises to wirelessly bridge an HDMI source device and HDMI receiving device, freeing you to place the devices anywhere within the system's wireless range. Further, the system manages to send 1080p/60 video, audio and infrared (IR) with less than one millisecond latency up to 66 feet. It sounds great on paper, but can it deliver?"

Deadline takes the concept of Doctor Who Unbound to its logical limit, yet it is
perhaps the most ordinary of all the plays in the series. Not ordinary as in mediocre; more that it's the sort of thing you wouldn't be surprised to hear on Radio 4 of an early evening. Unlike the other instalments of the series, Rob Shearman's Deadline isn't a Doctor Who play; rather, it's a play about Doctor Who.
The story involves Martin Bannister, fictional creator
of Doctor Who. However, in this world, the series was
never produced, and Martin's scripts languished in a
drawer for decades. Instead, while his plays received
critical acclaim, he was forced to write for television shows such as Juliet Bravo to make ends meet. Now,
Martin lives in a care home, a loner in a world of the
senile, abandoned by his family and with three failed
marriages behind him. Although he regrets the failure
of his personal life, it's his perceived failure as a writer
that really galls him. He's incensed that he's far better
remembered for his television fluff than for his acclaimed theatre work (one wonders if Rob Shearman is channelling some of his own feeling here) – all the more so for the fact that he feels he sacrificed his personal life to make that happen.
Played by none other than Sir Derek Jacobi (recorded at the same time he was voicing
the Master for BBCi's Scream of the Shalka webcast), Martin is a genuinely fascinating character. Although a deeply sympathetic soul, he's actually quite unlikeable much of the time - an arrogant, self-important, self-apologetic person. Yet, due to the fine writing and Jacobi's performance, which brings out the feelings of Martin's regret, the listener feels
sorry for him.
The narrative centres on Martin's life as it begins to collapse. His son Philip (Peter Forbes) contacts him, distraught that he's becoming like his father. Martin has little time for him, but sees him as a way to get to his grandson (an insufferable teen oik), giving him the chance to
have a family again. Barbara, a staff member at the home (played by Jacqueline King, now best known to fans as Sylvia Noble), latches onto Martin as someone she can talk to, but in the end, she is merely using him to feel better about herself. Dwelling ever more on the past, Martin begins to write again, bringing Doctor Who out of mothballs. But, as his stress rises and his life crumbles, his grip on reality lessens. He begins dreaming about Who, instead
of simply writing it.
Jacobi is equally impressive in
these sequences, taking on the
role of the Doctor, setting it apart
from his performance as Martin
with a subtly different voice and a
reassured, confident demeanour.
As the play goes forward, Martin
spends more and more time in
his fantasy world with his ideal granddaughter Susan. Reality and fantasy bleed into each other, and it becomes increasingly difficult to tell which is which. The listener is drawn into Martin's confused world view.
The eventual, catastrophic end of the play is no surprise, simply as there's no other direction for Martin's crisis to proceed. An exploration of guilt, responsibility, obsession (we fans don't come out unscathed) and even the nature of reality, Deadline is a quiet masterpiece.
Copyright © Daniel Tessier 2008
Daniel Tessier has asserted his right under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, 1988 to be identified as the author of this work.
Even in a range that champions the most extreme of possibilities, Deadline still manages to push the envelope. Penned by none other than Robert Shearman, Big Finish golden boy and renovator of the Daleks, this story tells of a universe where the Doctor was never real, and even the television show that he inhabits in our world never made it past the earliest stages of pre-production. In the world of Deadline, the titular Time Lord exists only as a figment of retired hack Martin Bannister's boundless imagination, and his TARDIS is not a fantastical space / time craft, but the last refuge of a lonely scoundrel.
Deadline is unique in that it doesn't have the feel of a Big Finish audio drama. Shearman clearly had his Radio 4 hat on when he wrote the script, and this approach is mirrored in the principally spartan production. Director Nicholas Briggs' sound design is, for the most part, non-existent. The horrors of Martin's isolation are painted on silent canvas, every pity-strewn line raw. Yet when Martin thinks of the Doctor - when Martin writes - the howl of the original Ron Grainer / Delia Derbyshire theme tune opens the door to an opulent aural soundscape; every hum, every click evoking the atmosphere of Doctor Who's earliest stories.
Martin is, in every sense, the story's anchor. He's present in every single scene of the play, both real and imaginary, as Shearman probes the character's regrets and failings with his usual deathly poise. Once a promising playwright, Martin soon found himself contracted to the BBC, churning out hackneyed scripts for Juliet Bravo that still set internet forums ablaze, whilst his acclaimed flop d'éstimes have faded into obscurity. This perceived failure has left Martin embittered, particularly as his fanatical passion for his work sullied every relationship that he ever tried to form. The play thus deals with both aspects of Martin's life, Shearman gently poking fun at us Doctor Who obsessives (whilst betraying his own arcane knowledge of the show!) as Martin retreats further and further inside his own mind, eventually taking on the mantle of the character he created: "Dr Who".
Quiet fittingly for an anniversary release, the script is abounding with playful nods and winks that have been woven right into the story's core. Series creator Sydney Newman is used to demonstrate Martin's utter lack of interest in other people, the ghost of his former producer's accent oscillating between Australian and Canadian because Martin can't quite remember where he was from. This point is then made explicit as the modulated voice of the Supreme One, the principal antagonist in Anthony Coburn's aborted Masters of Luxor, launches an attack on Martin's inability to understand real people, and the trite characterisation that flows from the same.
This criticism could not be levelled at
Deadline's author, however. Just like
the characters that populate his award-
winning short stories, the inhabitants of
this script are almost too real; too grey
and textured. A hate-filled son isn't just
a hate-filled son, but a tormented soul
whose life has fallen apart, driving him
to cremate guinea pigs just to give him
an excuse to speak to his estranged
Dad. A lonely nurse isn't just a lonely
nurse, but an aspirant poet and jilted
bride, her science teacher fiancé having long-since vanished from the face of the Earth. A bitter old washed-up writer isn't just a bitter old washed-up writer, but a sympathetic soul; a troubled, and potentially dangerous, old man crushed by the weight of unfulfilled potential, whose ex-wives won't even die in the proper order.
Happily, the ensemble cast are equal to the script. Sir Derek Jacobi, the only man to play both the Doctor and the Master (unless you count Mark Gatiss' humorous turn as the Time Lord in the BBC's Doctor Who Night skits), vests the total sum of his gravitas in poor old Martin, squeezing every last ounce of regret and spite out of each word put in front of him. His co-stars are every bit as extraordinary, particularly as they are required to flit effortlessly between realities, playing not only their respective characters but their fictional reflections too. Peter Forbes (Philip) and new series star Jacqueline King (Barbara) both stand out in particular, each giving two completely contrasting performances. Their agents should have charged double.
For me, Deadline is not only the finest Unbound adventure of the lot, but one of the most stunning plays that Big Finish have produced to date. Any Doctor Who story sporting the lines "Dr Who, you bastard!" (wrong in so, so many ways) and "we both have full bladder control" should crash and burn by all rights, but under Shearman's stewardship it simply soars. If you're only going to listen to one Unbound story, do yourself a favour and make it this one.
