Hello, my dear colleagues! Today I'd like to present to you my top 5 list of quotes on different aspects of motivation. Can you add some more words of wisdom to it? 1. 'Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family; a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold.' Tryon Edwards Really, books are full of wisdom. It would be a sin not to use it. Sometimes, you don't have to invent anything – it already exists! 2. 'There is only one way... to get anybody to do anything. And that is by making the other person want to do it.' Dale Carnegie Certainly, it's very important to be a good example in everything, even a role model sometimes. A good teacher is able to motivate many students simply by doing his'her job professionally. 3. 'Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.' Albert Einstein Well, if you do something you have to do it well – as simply as that. Even if you do something great spontaneously or by chance, it's in fact the result of your previous work and achievements. 4. 'The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.' Aristotle The Greek philosophy often sets an example for us: it's amazing to what result can lead some willing and effort. 5. 'We know nothing about motivation. All we can do is write books about it.' Peter F. Drucker Not a bad idea at all. After all, no living man all things can:)))

But a bumper crop of new, more conservative directors, set to take office in January, may well put the brakes on RTD's ambitious plans to expand light rail throughout the metro area.
Fresh from orientation seminars at the Independence Institute, a right-wing think tank based in Golden, many of the newcomers say their top priority is fiscal restraint, not new transit systems. "We owe it to the taxpayers to spend their money wisely," says incoming director Brian Propp, "or not spend it at all." And most question light rail as a magical solution to traffic problems, saying RTD should hold off on expanding light rail south to Littleton.
"This expansion down the southwest corridor doesn't make sense to me," says Daniel Gallegos, an incoming boardmember from Conifer. "Let's give [light rail downtown] a couple of years before we start expanding."
"I'm not going to vote to expand light rail just becase there's so much momentum on the staff to keep it running," says new director Jon Caldara. "Denver's already suffering with Denver International Airport. We don't need that with light rail. Let's take our time and do it right."
But current boardmembers say they're sure their new colleagues will support light rail once they assume office and become more educated about transportation issues. "I think people are overly scared of them," says incumbent director Edie Bryan of the new boardmembers. Phil Anderson, another current director, says he has a "tremendous sense of optimism" that the new arrivals will "do the right thing."
But incoming director David Bishop of Aurora says that Anderson, Bryan and their colleagues should brace themselves for some changes in philosophy at RTD. "I'm afraid there's going to be some conflicts," Bishop says.
With a $300-million-a-year budget, RTD is one of Colorado's largest government agencies, overseeing metro-area bus service, the construction of select new highways and the operation of its new downtown Denver light-rail link, which opened in October. The agency's fifteen-member board sets policy goals and directs the agency's administrative staff.
Seven new directors, several of whom ran unopposed, were elected in November and will take their seats on the board January 10. Incumbent Ben Klein, one of the two directors who voted against the southwest-corridor extension this past spring and a longtime board pariah, also ran unopposed and won a second term.
Light-rail skeptics don't need a majority to have a major impact on the future direction of RTD. Under a state law, a ten-vote super majority is required before the agency can proceed with any major transportation project. A bloc of six votes could thwart further expansion of light rail.
Adding to the potential for a sea change is the departure of Chairman Ken Hotard, a light-rail supporter. Indeed, some have expressed fear that Klein, who was convicted of felony tax evasion in the 1970s and has a history of erratic behavior, might muster enough support to replace Hotard as chairman of the new board.
Hotard says that would be a "disaster," but he doubts Klein has a legitimate shot at the office. Several of the incoming directors, however, express admiration for Klein because he faces up to an RTD staff seemingly bent on pushing light rail on metro-area commuters. "He's probably the only one who hasn't been indoctrinated," says Propp. "He remains an independent thinker. To me that shows backbone and fortitude and a logical thought process going on in his head. I admire him for standing up."
Richard Rudden, another new director, agrees, saying Klein "has impressed me a great deal."
"Ben--he calls it like it is," Rudden says. "I feel he would make a good chairman or vice chairman." Klein was out of town last week and unavailable for comment.
With so much at stake, lobbying of the new members has already begun in earnest. Incoming directors say one of the incumbents has mailed each of them a copy of a Westword article detailing Klein's troubled past ("Life on the Edge," March 23). The RTD staff has held a number of orientation seminars for the new boardmembers. And before and after the election, the conservative Independence Institute invited the newly elected members to meetings where former directors talked about their experience on the RTD board.
The Institute, which opposes light rail as a waste of tax money, excluded incumbents from the post-election session, says Senior Fellow Dennis Polhill. "We wanted these guys to form their own opinions," Polhill says.
Director-elect Propp, a political activist who chairs the Adams County chapter of Ross Perot's United We Stand America, says the seminars with the RTD staff were much more "indoctrinational" than the gathering at the Independence Institute was. "There's a lot of pressure from the staff and management to align the new boardmembers to their way of thinking" and get them to support light rail, Propp says.

None of the news posts or the schedule lists the actual hours of the event.
Posted 26 June 2012 - 06:18 AM
I believe it is based on the hours the Fantasy Flight Games Event Center is open:
04:00 PM to 12:00 AM
10:00 AM to 12:00 AM
11:00 AM to 06:00 PM
Go to the Fantasy Flight Games Event Center page and click on the calendar … it should show you a schedule for all events there.
Hope that helps!
Posted 28 June 2012 - 09:55 AM
I see they've added the hours to the PDF so that clarifies things immensely.
Based on that document, it appears it does not start at 4pm but at 6 pm.
Posted 29 June 2012 - 01:05 AM
Although most events run by other organizations usually include a 'doors open' so people know when they can start arriving and this doesn't so it is ambiguous: Is it normal event center hours? Is it 6 pm? Is it something else?
It's like the writer has a hard time putting themself in the shoes of someone unfamiliar with the event center and FFG events and just can't see that is pretty much the most basic piece of information that people will want to see. It is just so odd since every other event I have been to run by other organizations always include that information.

Does It Matter?
Essays on Man's Relation to Materiality
October 2007
Trade Paperback · 140 Pages

Recommended for These Courses
Does It Matter? presents Alan Watts' thoughts on the problem of humankind's relationship to its environment. Here he argues that contemporary people confuse symbols with reality, preferring money to wealth and "eating the menu instead of the dinner." Focusing on numbers, concepts, and technology, he says, makes us increasingly unconscious of nature and of our total dependence on air, water, plants, animals, insects, and bacteria. We have hallucinated the notion that the "external" world is a cluster of "objects" separate from ourselves, that we "encounter" it rather than come out of it. Consequently, he claims, humanity is fouling its own nest and is in imminent danger of self-obliteration. In one of his most provocative books, a philosopher known for his writings and teachings about mysticism and Eastern philosophy confronts the nitty-gritty problems of economics, technology, clothing, cooking, housing, and the rest of the world around us. First published in 1971, the book is especially timely today.
About the Author
Alan Watts was born in England in 1915 and received his early education at King's School, Canterbury and the Buddhist Lodge in London, where he met D.T. Suzuki. He received a master's degree from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary in Illinois and an honorary doctorate of divinity from the University of Vermont. He wrote his first book, The Spirit of Zen, at the age of twenty and went on to write over twenty other books including The Way of Zen, The Wisdom of Insecurity, and The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are. In addition to being an acclaimed author and philosopher, Watts was also an Episcopalian minister, professor, graduate-school dean, and research fellow at Harvard University. In the early 1960s, he moved to California, and held seminars and lectures throughout the US. He died in Sausalito in 1973.

Greetings experts!
I've been using my table saw a lot lately to trim floating cork flooring and whatnot. That part is done now, but I need to rip the baseboards to fit over the new floor. Trouble is, the saw started misbehaving--wanting to kick, cutting crooked. I finally determined that the blade has become crooked--it's 1/16 off front-to-back. (So, the back of the blade is 1/16 closer to the right side of the table than the front of the blade is.) Now, I went and got the instructions and they tell me to adjust a screw-and-nut combination that's located right above the blade up-down handle. But there's no such thing there! My husband also looked for it and couldn't find it. This is a Craftsman that I've had for several years. I'd call it a 'contractor saw' as it's light enuf to be portable. (I'll have to look up the model number later) Anyone have any idea how the confounded blade is supposed to be adjusted?? Seems like this is the sort of thing one would have to do relatively often, so it should be easy! Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
My 10" Craftsman has a spring-loaded handle just under the table, above the height adjustment crank. I've never had to use it since I got it second hand over 20 years ago, but it seems reasonable that it would be there. |

I adjust the fence not the trunnions. It's easier. The fence should have a couple of bolts for the purpose. Casey |
The blade may be dull and bent. Make the measurements again, then rotate the blade 1/2 turn(unplug the machine first!!). That will tell you if the blade is bent. If it is not bent, I'll wager 5 internet$$ the teeth are dull. The easiest thing is to buy a new blade. Probably a ten inch model. You can buy a rip blade, a cross cut blade or a combination blade. Ripping a lot of wood is best done with a rip blade---about 30 teeth of less. Cross cutting(making boards shorter) blades start at about 60 teeth and go up. Combination blades have about 50 teeth. There are several brands--DeWalt, Freud, Ace(Ace hardware) and many more. I favor Freud blades for inexpensive models. You can pay up to $170 for a ten inch table saw blade from the high end manufacturers. A good Freud blade will be about $30-$50. |
"(So, the back of the blade is 1/16 closer to the right side of the table than the front of the blade is.)" The alignments that matter are the blade to the miter gauge grooves in the table for crosscutting, and the blade to the rip fence fir ripping. The blade to the edges of the table is not important. The trunnions that hold the blade arbor under the table are are normally bolted to the bottom of the table to allow for adjustment. On some inexpensive saws the trunnions are attached to the saw stand, and then the table is attached to the stand. |

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely check things out this weekend. I do have some spare blades that I can swap in and see if they work better. We had to cut down a couple doors too so that may have dulled the blade. This is definitely a lower-end saw. You have to be really careful w/ the rip fence and the miter thing because they have a decent amount of play in them. So, I should be able to coax the rip fence to sit crookedly like the blade. Guess I should have upgraded for this project. But it seems silly to do it now, when I'm almost done. Thanks again! |
Googling "Tune up my table saw" will give you links to several articles on squaring up your saw. Here's one from Fine Woodworking. |

What was the final outcome of the saw work? |
- Posted by housenewbie (My Page) on Mon, Oct 10, 11 at 10:23
Hi, Sorry not to get back to y'all before now. In the end, I wound up upgrading to a new saw--a portable contractor saw w/ a gravity rise bench. I didn't have much luck getting the blade and fence to align w/ each other, and the saw was making a sort of clanging noise like something was loose or hitting somewhere so I decided the heck w/ it. Of course, it was raining nonstop for weeks so I haven't been able to do much anyway. (I don't have an indoor workshop) The new saw has the ability to adjust the alignment--that was one of my requirements for purchase. Again, thanks for the help. |
Wait til the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) gets done with proposed regulations. The attorneys that invented the 'saw stop' system have petitioned for a higher safety standard, no doubt wanting their patented system to be required. |
SawStop cannot be done on portable saws---the direct drive type---which is the one that injured the person listed in the story. The technology also cannot be added to an existing machine. It has to be built in. It also can be disabled to use wet wood.The technology also does nothing to stop or minimize kickback, which is often the cause of those injuries. Point is that using proper technique and proper existing guards, that kind of injury will not happen anyways. And the inventor did NOT offer the technology to other manufacturers at a decent price point. He demanded way too much money/control to allow using manufacturers a decent profit. |

The house we're purchasing to remodel has deep eaves - about 3' (1 m) directly above the top of the windows (its a one story house). It's summer now and given the angle of the sun, not much light comes directly in the house, which we want. These windows face south.
I'm assuming as winter comes and the sun sinks further in the southern horizon that we'll get more sun inside the house, but maybe not. We're trying to figure out if we'll need skylights or not. Can anyone comment on this idea? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We live 5 blocks from the Chicago border, and our eaves are 28" deep. Our south facing windows are awesome for natural light during late fall thru the winter. Our house is a 91 yr old bungalow with separated rooms and a door to the second floor/attic so no light gets to the main floor from above. We have plenty of main floor natural light on all sides except north. Our neighbors on both sides are about 14 ft away. If you are gutting a bungalow and adding a dormer on the second floor, go ahead and add skylights because the attic could use it. However, the main floor will be fine without them. |

Proactive Police Head Off School Gun Threat
CINCINNATI (Deb Dixon) -- This is a story we've heard before.
It involves a bullied teenager and a threat to retaliate at his school, Woodward High School.
What we don't always hear is a story that ends like this one.
A metro bus driver transporting Woodward students made the call of an assault on the bus Thursday afternoon. But when police got there no one was talking. Until later when a student told a parent what the assault victim said he might bring a gun to Woodward Friday morning.
Lt. Col. James Whalen of the Cincinnati Police Department said, If this has to happen this is the way it should go: a student went home and told the parent, the parent told police, the street police told their bosses, the bosses reached out to not only our youth function department but also to the school's principal who got personally involved in very off hours.
The strategizing to prevent possible violence at the school began Thursday night.
Police interacted with the student at his home. The student was picked up and taken to school Friday morning in a cruiser. Police believe the threat was simply said out of frustration.
Lt. Col. James Whalen said he believed this was a situation where the student turned out to be a victim in the end.
The investigation continues and the only possible crime now is the assault on the student when he was riding the bus.
The students who assaulted the boy who threatened to bring a gun to school could end up facing charges.
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. According to a Bureau of Justice Study, one out of every four children is bullied and 85 percent of the time, no one steps in to help.

Located between Albertson's and Rite Aid on Redlands Blvd in Redlands, this small family owned and operated restaurant features fresh, delicious and affordable cold and hot subs & sandwiches, salads, freshly made soups, wraps and delicious naan pizzas. You can personalize each sandwich with yours choice of rolls & breads, cheeses, meats, and over 33 condiments and fresh veggies.
You may think this is a clone of a Subway store but believe me when I tell you that the food served here has no resemblance to the other large chain sandwich shops. Some of my favorites are the Italian Sub which consists of a large portion of sliced Italian salami, pepperoni and capicola, homemade Italian dressing and your choice of fillings, the Pulled Chicken Salad Sandwich featured lots of moist white chicken breast meat tossed with celery, green onion and a special mayo sour cream dressing, the popular Meatball Sandwich smothered in a homemade marinara sauce with provolone cheese, and the classic Reuben Sandwich with lots of slices of lean corned beef with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island Dressing on toasted rye bread.
Owners Russell and Judy Barnes and their son Chris have competed and have won numerous awards for their Salsas, Sancho Blanco Chile Verde Sauce, their incredible Chili and for their Red Chile Sauce. They also won $10,000 at a celebrity food show competition and have been invited to compete in many national and world championship food competitions, so these people really know food.
I also highly recommend the Chile Verde Burrito, chunks of pork slowly cooked in their award winning and delicious Chile Verde sauce stuffed inside a flour tortilla, oven toasted and topped with more Chile Verde and cheese. Their all meat Chili has a wonderful mild kick of heat to it and is definitely one of the best I have ever tasted and I have judged Chili Cook-off's before.
Another unique item is their Indian Naan bread pizza that are made fresh from a local Indian restaurant and topped with your choice of creamy spinach artichoke spread with your choice of meats, cheese and veggies, a BBQ Chicken pizza with sliced red onions, or Cheese with Italian Sausage, or a Cheese and Veggie naan pizza. I suggest getting the garlic naan since garlic adds a nice delicate taste to all of the pizzas.
In addition to the above items, I love their side salads that are made fresh on the premises and include their Cole Slaw with onions, dried cranberries, and roasted pecans, the fantastic Red Potato Salad with green onions, shredded cheese, bacon and homemade ranch dressing , the palate pleasing Macaroni Salad with sweet peppers, chopped olives, celery, onions and chopped pickles and the unique Turkey Waldorf Salad, chunks of turkey with apples, walnuts, cranberries and celery in their house creamy mayo sour cream dressing.
They also serve some cold refreshing Smoothies as well as some East Coast favorites like the popular Crumb Cake, moist Muffins, large Black & White Cookies and Chocolate Dipped Macaroon cookies. Citrus Deli is truly a great restaurant to dine at or have them cater your next business or social event. I really like eating here and know you will too

Student Discipline And Appeals Lawyers
Locate a Local Government Lawyer
Can I Appeal Disciplinary Procedures?
Yes, every school district allows parents and students some way to appeal any disciplinary action that is taken against the student.
How Can I Appeal a Short-Term Suspension Or Detention?
If you feel you have been disciplined unfairly, but received only a mild punishment such as short-term suspension of detention, you may be able to request a grievance conference. The grievance procedure is much less formal than the appeal process for harsher punishments. The grievance procedure for mild disciplinary actions involves:
- A conference involving the student, parent(s), and principal to discuss the incident and punishment
- If the parties are not satisfied with the conference, they may request a second grievance conference with a designee of the superintendent
- If the parties are still not satisfied, they can submit an appeal to their district?s disciplinary appeals board
How Can I Appeal a Long-Term Suspension or Expulsion?
If you have been suspended for longer than 10 days, or if you have been expelled, you may want to appeal the decision. Most school districts allow you some method of appealing the disciplinary action. Generally, if you want to appeal a punishment, you should:
- Contact your county?s appeals office as soon as possible (there is often a limit on how long you can wait to file an appeal)
- Submit an appeal to the appeals office
- Your appeal may be reviewed by a legal expert who will evaluate whether the disciplinary action was appropriate under the circumstances
- You may request an appeal hearing
What Rights Do I Have at an Appeal Hearing?
If you attempt to appeal a disciplinary action against your child, you should make sure you know what your rights are at the hearing. The rules regarding appeals differ according to state, so make sure you understand the laws in your district. Some important things to consider about an appeal hearing are:
- You have the right to represent your child, or to hire a lawyer at your own expense. If you hire a lawyer, the school may have the right to be represented by a district attorney
- You may have the right to bring someone who is not a witness to the hearing as a supporter
- You may request an interpreter
- You may examine the evidence that the school has against your child
- Your child may be present at the hearing
- Your child may confront witnesses that testify against him, and may also present a defense or explanation for his behavior
What if I Am Not Satisfied with the Outcome of the Appeal Hearing?
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the appeal hearing, you may be able to make a written appeal to the Office of the Superintendent.
Should I Contact a Lawyer?
If you are considering appealing disciplinary action taken against you or your child, you may want to contact a lawyer who is experienced in education and schools. An experienced lawyer will be able to inform you of your rights and represent you in a hearing if you so desire.

Ulster have narrowly extended their unbeaten record this season to ten games.
Mark Anscombe's much-changed side just managed to see off a strong challenge from Italian minnows Zebre in Parma on Sunday.
The province almost became a victim of their own success. With so many players away on international duty, Zebre sought to exploit an understrength Ulster line-up.
They got off the mark with the opening try of the game with Tito Tebaldi touching down after Ulster had failed to collect from the restart after Niall O'Connor's early penalty.
But O'Connor's boot kept the visitors in the game, and Ulster led by a point at the break.
The Italians grabbed another try soon after the restart when out-half Daniel Hangalahu crossed after collecting a superb flicked pass from Tebaldi.
Rampaging Zebre number eight Andries Van Shalkwyk then scored a third for the visitors in the corner, but Ulster fought back well and a fine team try finished off by veteran centre Paddy Wallace helped them to edge back into the lead.
However, some disastrous defending opened the door for the hosts again - Van Shalkwyk ghosting in to claim his second try of the afternoon.
Ulster's blushes were spared thanks to a penalty try in the dying moments - 27-25 the final score.

Peruvian flavours inspire Chicha restaurant in Vancouver
What's all the fuss about Peruvian cuisine? A visit to Chicha is a good way to find out. Peruvian food has been gaining traction outside of South America quickly over the past few years, as those who follow culinary news have undoubtedly noticed. Among the signs: it made Forbes magazine's list of top American food trends in 2012, and after closing elBulli in Spain, Ferran Adrià chose a Peruvian-Nikkei Japanese theme for his latest Barcelona restaurant, Pakta.
But it's difficult to really understand what Peruvian cuisine is all about without tasting it for yourself. A complex mix of cultural influences makes for some wonderfully confounding flavours—think elements of Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and African cooking all rolled into one. (If you're having trouble picturing this, that's exactly my point.) And while Vancouver does have several unassuming Peruvian eateries—notably Mochikas Peruvian Café, famous for its location in Kitsilano's Platinum Touch Auto Spa—Chicha is the first to hit the fashionable niche.
Shelome Bouvette, who co-owns Chicha with Allison Flook and Kumiko Umeno, has built a career cooking Latin-American food. She spent the last eight years as executive chef at Lolita's South of the Border Cantina and was ready to do something a bit different while staying in the Latin-American realm. Recognizing Peruvian cuisine as "the next big thing", she travelled to Peru for edible research.
"Chicha is inspired by Peruvian flavours," she tells the Georgia Straight on the line from her Mount Pleasant restaurant, which opened in May. She freely admits that her recipes aren't authentic; her goal is to introduce people to Peruvian flavours. "We just want to be a place where people can try a different type of food and have fun." While she can get some key Peruvian ingredients like citrus-y aji amarillo chili peppers in Vancouver, she can't source everything she'd like. "As Peruvian food becomes more popular here, you'll be able to get more ingredients," she predicts, recalling that when she started at Lolita's, now-common Mexican ingredients were difficult to find.
Chicha has a good location in the high-traffic East Broadway and Main Street area, and dining here you definitely get that happening buzz. Walking in with my companion at 6:30 p.m. on a weeknight, we had our pick of tables for two, but by 7:30 p.m. the wall of banquette seating was elbow-to-elbow. The single row of tables faces a 12-seat bar, with an aisle between them so narrow two supermodels couldn't swish by one another. The packed room keeps the energy high, but don't expect much personal space or intimate conversation.
Our helpful server recommended we order three to five plates to share, keeping in mind that some plates are bigger than others. The heftier dishes include lomo saltado, a popular Peruvian take on Chinese stir-fried beef, and arroz con pato, a northern Peruvian dish of duck and coriander-flecked rice. (At $17, the duck is on the high end of the menu; most plates run about $10 to $12. We ordered five dishes and could have easily stopped at three, especially because our dishes were starch-heavy.)
Having recently visited Peru, I was happy to see solterito arequipeño on the menu, a salad typical of the southern city of Arequipa. Chicha does a good rendition of this bright, refreshing dish with lima beans, artichoke hearts, fresh cheese, black olives, and corn. The salty palitos de yuca (cassava fries) are addictive for their starchy-crispy texture. They're served with a mustard-yellow huancaína sauce, made from amarillo peppers, evaporated milk, Parmesan cheese, and bread—a Peruvian classic that's often served with boiled potatoes. The tuna causa (whipped, chilled potato) has Japanese flair, topped with raw albacore tuna and served with passion-fruit ponzu and wasabi cream sauces. The octopus and chorizo anticuchos (grilled skewers) come with whipped potatoes as well, this time blended with basil and peppers. Even the ceviche comes with spuds—in this case, a hunk of sweet potato, as well as corn. The bland ceviche was the least successful dish we tried.
Along with other Pisco-based cocktails, Pisco Sours star on the drinks list. Chicha's Pisco currently hails from Chile, but they should have Peruvian Pisco in soon. For nondrinkers, Inca Kola is worth a try for a laugh—it's the colour of a yellow highlighter and tastes like bubble gum.
Don't skip dessert: the lucuma cheesecake is a treat. While the flavour of the nutty subtropical fruit is muted here, the cake itself is a New York–style dream, with a beautiful graham-cracker crust.
A substantial dinner for two, with two cocktails, came to $79.75 before tax and tip.
I appreciate this kind of honesty. I went in with a group of Peruvians. We had read the reviews (which are mostly positive), and so were expecting good things.
Unfortunately, if you're expecting Chichas to replicate Peruvian dishes, you'll be pretty disappointed. I do appreciate that making Peruvian cooking mainstream will take time and dedication, and I commend Chichas on their effort.
That being said, some dishes are overpriced and small (anticuchos, causa). I'm optimistic that they'll continue to improve, though.
Just to let you guys now, Chicha have different meanings, there is the "Chicha Culture", chicha de drink made of purple corn, which by the way, you can ordered in the restaurant and "Chicha de Jora" alcoholic drink, (There is very few restaurants in Peru that have this drink as it is a Andean drink sell in houses all over the andes).
Thanks to the owners of this restaurant for promoting our amazing food.!!!!
Looks like us Vancouverites are still having to travel to Portland (Andina) or San Fran (La Mar) for a good taste of peruvian food.
If you like a friendly atmosphere, by all means go. If you like Peruvian food, make it yourself at home.

Missoni's New Converse Collaboration Is Available Now
>> Spring footwear season has officially arrived. Over the weekend, Missoni released its new collaboration with Converse, adding its signature pattern to the shoe brand's classic Chuck Taylor sneaker.
The shoes come in three colorways: white, pale green, and navy blue. The green and white women's styles hint at the traditional Missoni chevron, while the blue unisex version features a haphazard woven effect. All three styles retail for $200, and will be sold in limited editions at Jeffrey, Fred Segal, and Aloha Rag — as well as on the Converse website.
This isn't the first time Missoni has partnered with Converse; the two brands worked on a line of colorful, striped high-tops last Spring. This year's offering, in the gallery.

I have been asked repeatedly about my thoughts on Sarah Palin. I figured, hey, what better first political post on my new blog than one in which I alienate at least half of my fellow conservatives? So here goes.
Last year, when John McCain chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate in the 2008 presidential election, I was excited about the energy that she brought to the campaign. It was nice to see people excited about a Republican candidate, who seemed to embrace conservatism.
During that campaign, however, Sarah Palin became a very divisive figure. She used language that tended toward the incendiary, such as "pals around with terrorists." She identified enemies, both political and in the media, and stoked the public's anger toward them.
In Palin's defense, she was fired upon first. Make no mistake about it, from the ridiculous accusations about the maternity of her infant son, to the relentless mocking, to the over-sexualizing, Palin did not start this war with the media and the left. She was merely hitting back.
Regardless of who started it, and whether or not Palin was treated unfairly, which I think she was, she continues to be intentionally divisive. She is not merely divisive because of her policies, in the way that other politicians with strong ideologies are. She intends to create disunity for disunity's sake. She is feeding the "us vs. them" mentality.
We are living in a time when there is a lot of division and intentional divisiveness. We do not need more; we need less. We do not need a Sarah Palin to energize a narrowly defined segment of the right by preaching to the choir.
What we need is someone with a well-defined platform of ideas and the ability to articulate how said ideas will benefit the masses. Conservatism, and by that I mean the less-government, more-freedom variety, not the religious right or the corporatists, is a reasonable ideology with applications that are both popular and beneficial to the public.
Sarah Palin, from what I have seen, is not out there putting forth good conservative ideas, except where they can act as a rallying cry against something the Democrats are doing. She does not seem to have a cohesive ideology, but more of a patchwork of anti-liberal ideas that can be used to energize the far-right.
The political reality of the country is that elections are decided by the non-committeds, those voters who have not sworn to support the left or right, but who decide each election based on their current situation and the current candidates. To reach those voters, we need a candidate who can put aside the partisan zingers and focus on finding conservative solutions to our current problems, then articulate those ideas to the people.
Don't get me wrong, someone like Sarah Palin – someone who is not ashamed to be conservative, someone who has a dynamic personality the attracts people to her – would be great for the Republican Party.
Unfortunately, Sarah Palin is, as they say, damaged goods. There is too much baggage attached to her. I suspect, if she emerges as the standard-bearer of the right, she will only succeed at pushing conservatism further into the wilderness and away from the mainstream.
At the risk of sounding alarmist, there is too much at stake to let that happen.

I'm glad I got this free because it was nothing special whatsoever. I adore lavender, so that aspect was nice and initailly thrilled me, but it doesn't moisturize any better than most given body butters or thick lotions, maybe even less so. I have dry hands that sometimes crack a little (not so much the weather as stress-related) and this hardly did any good in the way of healing or protecting. When I put on a hand moisturizer at night, I expect to feel a layer of protection, but with this, I kept reapplying to no avail. The price is un-freakin'-believable for what you get. I would never repurchase or recommend.
LOVE! I just bought this in Rose (i would also like Lavender ... is that too extravagant??) ... it is non greasy but thick, and my hands look amazing. This is going to be a lifesaver this winter!
It is expensive, but i 'get' why you would buy it now.
i would buy it again if it was a little cheaper....but the quality of this lotion is amazing! i used it during this winter when my hands were sapped of moisture and it really helped with dryness, cracking, etc of my hands. i also use neutrogena norwegian body emulsion lotion but it feels kinda funky. this one smells very nice but it does get a little greasy and doesn't soak in well. overall though, very good for extremely dry skin and great in the winter time!
Amazing quality. Cannot be compared with any other hand cream that i've used (inc. body shop, bath and body works, fresh...)
More reviews by nutsaboutmakeup
Am crazy about rose scents, so after trying the rose refresher, body oil & shower gel, had to try this too. Leaves the most wonderful rose scent! I like to smell my hands whenever i have this on! good hydrating cream for the hand but i find the price is expensive! Am quite happy with TBS african span which i use on my hands & legs...but this i will spurge on on days when i am feeling down or require a pick me up or when i am feeling rich!
Best handcream on the planet! Even better than L'occitane. If I were rich, I would use this stuff all over! Use sparingly and your hands will be soft but not greasy. Sparingly = a small pea size.
Im using this atm...love the smell..and it feels good on my skin, easily absorbed
the only downside is that its a tad expensive even though it seems to last forever!
but i personally think that the L'occitane 20% shear butter hand cream is better... so i think i'll get that next time....but the jurlique one is definately worth a try
I bought this in lavender & it lasted me about a month, the scent was divine & it leaves a slight sheen on my hands, it does what it says! I bought this while on holiday in Orlando, if it was not so hard to get ahold of, I would be one of my holy grails. I can justify my Diptique candles, perfume and this. Very expensive, but it adds to the elusive-ness. My favorite <3
More reviews by applesforcheeks
I received a sample tube of the Lavender Hand Creme. So far, so good. My cuticles are moisturized and they don't look or feel greasy at all. The Jurlique salesgirl told me that this is the number one selling hand creme in the world. Crazy.

My name is Bear!
Facts about Bear
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bear's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet our handsome boy Bear!!
Bear is a silly, playful boy ...he gets so bright eyed when he is able to get play time with his canine friends.

Bear is a lovable boy, he loves his human companions!! He'll just curl up into your lap if you let him.
Bear would be best in a family that will include him in their actives.
He is a very social boy loves his dog bed and the sofa isn't bad either :-)
If you are interested in meeting out Bear please go to our website and fill out our adoption application.
Thank you
Other Pets at Passion for Pitties
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bear, a San Diego American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in San Diego, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in San Diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Diego already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Diego breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

Xin zhu is discussed as the heart as master and contrasted with the heart as a void. Xin bao luo is presented as the enveloping and connecting aspect of the heart, and tan zhong as the central temple within the chest. Tan zhong is also discussed as a sea of qi and gathering place of ancestral qi, and as the place of transmission for elation and joy.
The classical connections between the hand xin zhu (heart master) meridian and the hand shao yin (heart) meridian are also clarified.
The second part of the book shows the developing concept of the triple heater as seen in the Nei jing, The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the Nan jing, The Classic of Difficulties, and later commentators. It is considered both as a separate fu and as the unifying totality of the zangfu. Its fire-water polarity is discussed in depth: as water through its links with the kidneys and bladder, and as a fire minister with the Gate of Destiny, ming men and xin bao luo.
The upper, middle and lower heaters are examined, with particular reference to Lingshu chapter 18, which presents them as responsible for respiration, digestion and elimination respectively. Their connections with ancestral (zong), nutritive (ying) and defensive (wei) qi are also shown.
An index is given for all Chinese characters and main concepts.

The is-ought fallacy is when someone assumes a conclusion based on an 'ought' rather than an 'is'. The major problem is that an 'ought' is often derived from an instinct, false premise, or cultural morality.
Is-Ought Fallacy Structure
Argument: A ought to be B therefore C
Reality: C cannot be logically verified by the 'ought' connection of A and B

I will keep this quick and short.
Jurgen Klinsmann selected his 23-man roster for this weekend's games.
Sacha Kljestan did a Q&A with US Soccer's website last week.
The Sunday Times did a story on former Rangers midfielder DaMarcus Beasley who returns to Scotland this week. And here is another story on Beasley.
Remember last week when we said Danny Williams returned to training with Reading after missing some time with a foot bruise? Well, he got hurt again.
Julian Green has been offered a professional deal by Bayern Munich which will run through 2017.
And finally, the New York Times has caught wind of Ben Lederman.
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas with their friends and family. I am slowly waking up from a food/beer coma from the last couple of days.
Now for some links.
Andre Villas-Boas is a fan of Clint Dempsey.
We told you about Bryan Meredith signing with IK Brage last week, but here are some more quotes from Meredith about the move.
The US U-20 team finished up camp last week with a 4-0 win over Venezuela. There have been a bunch of stories/interviews coming out from the camp, including stuff from Tab Ramos, Benji Joya, Cody Cropper, Marc Pelosi, Caleb Stanko and Brandon Allen.
As for another player part of the U-20 group who was not at the camp, Anthony Brooks did an interview with Hertha Berlin's website.
Jozy Altidore spoke to Dave Martinez over at Ives. Jozy also made one Dutch paper's team of the midseason.
Speaking of midseason-type rankings, Aron Johannsson was ranked the sixth best player in Denmark so far in 2012-13.
In the caring is creepy part of the links, here is a Spanish report on Barcelona youth product Ben Lederman.
This is from last week, but Seattle is apparently in the mix for a possible game during the Hex.
ESPN Insider gives us their hot list among American players.
And finally, here is a video of Tim Ream and Stuart Holden having some Christmas fun.
There is a joke on one of the college football sites that Howie and I read that when it comes to recruiting (and following the lives of 16-18 year old kids), "caring is creepy". That said, who doesn't want to see video highlights of some 11-year-old American scoring a goal for one of Barcelona's youth teams?!
Thanks to Dave for e-mailing this in, but Ben Lederman scored a goal for Barcelona's Alevín A team as they participated in some U-12 tournament in Spain recently.
Cap him now!
Since I am in a good mood (and actually have time), I am going to drop some more links on you guys.
Robbie Rogers recently had his surgery on his ankle (photographic proof!) and he recently did a Q&A with ESPN.com.
Conor O'Brien and SønderjyskE were knocked out of the semifinals of the Danish Cup. They beat FC Copenhagen, 4-3, today in the second leg, but the aggregate score was 4-4 and they lost out on the away goals rule.
Greg Seltzer talked to Sean Cunningham about his loan move to Stabæk.
While we have been complaining about the PFA Team of the Year, the folks over at The Shin Guardian came up with their own XI of the Year for the Premier League.
Speaking of teams of the year, Howie and I are slowly putting the final touches on this year's OT XI. It should hopefully be up in the next two weeks. We have a base lineup, but want to see how the final weeks play out.
And finally, Top Drawer Soccer quickly updates us with a couple of really young Americans in youth academies in Europe, including Barcelona's Ben Lederman.
A bunch of little things to get to while I watch the end of this highly entertaining Lakers-Clippers game.
Jurgen Klinsmann had a teleconference today to talk about a bunch of different things like Caleb Porter, Olympic qualifying and Herculez Gomez among other things. You can listen to it here or read the transcript here.
Hopefully [Gomez] continues that goal scoring period, and the more he scores, the more he makes a positive notes out there, the bigger his chances to get the call. It's as simple as that. That's our message to all of the players all of the time – keep proving your point.
Gomez got that message by adding another two goals to his portfolio tonight.
Speaking of Gomez, Christopher McCollum has a two-part interview with the forward: Part 1 | Part 2
Greg Seltzer recently talked to Jozy Altidore about learning the game in Holland.
What's better than one article on Stuart Holden returning to Bolton to finish up his rehab? How about a second article?
"A lot of people have asked when I'm going to be back playing and I don't have a definitive answer. I'm not really worried about that because my focus is all about making sure I'm fully fit once I do get back on the pitch."
Here is an interview with Hammarby's manager Gregg Berhalter. Hammarby kick off the Superettan season next Monday against Halmstad.
Did you know that there is a young American in Barcelona's youth academy? I sort of remember hearing about this in the past, but it got brought back to my attention today.
Brian Sciaretta has an interview up with Kenneth Di Vita Jensen.

The Bloomer Girls will play at the Erie ball park next Sunday.
Governor Samuel R. Ralston in representing Indiana at the Gettysburg reunion, in a speech said in part: "Indiana rejoiced in the ability, the valor and patriotism displayed by her sons who fought their brothers on the field of courage, and she is not here as a participant in this greeting to add to their fame by withholding a just need of praise from the soldiers of other states who fought on either side of the tremendous issue. But rather is she here to join in swelling the chorus of glad acclaim in recognition of the absence of sectional hatred and the presence of peace, prosperity and patriotism among all the people of the Union."
Intrepid Indianan: "On the second day of the battle Col. John Wheeler of the 20th Indiana was killed. Of him his brigade commander said: 'A more gallant soldier and efficient officer did not exist. The great state of Indiana may well feel proud of John Wheeler, the hero, the patriot and the honest man. He was worthy to command the glorious 20th and had his command was proud of him.'"
The 4 th of July, although a hot one, went off without any trouble in Crown Point, and outside of a rider getting thrown from a motorcycle at the fair grounds, receiving but slight injuries, there was no accident with a crowd of about seven thousand people, and acres of automobiles. A sprinkle of rain came about noon, not enough to do any good or harm, and the celebration at the fair grounds was a success. The concessions all did a remarkable good business, and the entertainment lasted until midnight. Everything was eaten and drank up at the grounds and in the city by early evening, and the gasoline at the different garages ran low before going home time, in fact more came than was expected. From all appearances the day was enjoyed by all outside of the intense heat.

Encouraged by the small decline in tax receipts compared with last year, Clarence A Jackson, director of the gross income tax division, estimated this week that funds from the gross income tax collections will be available to enable the state to meet its share in the increased cost of old age assistance due to minimum age requirement being lowered from 70 to 65. This change which became effective July 1, will result in an additional demand of approximately $2,000,000 on the state treasury, which pays thirty per cent of the cost of this program. "Indiana is already obligated to distribute more than 20 million dollars of gross income tax funds to the schools and civil units of the state during 1938," Jackson stated.
One of the big attractions at the fair this year will be the exhibit of the United States Steel Corporation of Gary. This is the first time the concern has ever exhibited at a county fair. The entire south wing of the industrial building will be taken up by that colorful and instructive display.
The city, in conjunction with the WPA, began a partial street improvement program late last week which so far, includes a top dressing of an asphalt preparation on South Main street as far south as Walnut street, and East street for most of its length. Preliminary work has also been completed for the improvements of North Court, as one of the next steps of the program.

Best Marching unit — that is the "top Perch" reached by the Marching Bulldogs of Crown Point high school for their appearance under the direction of Carl V. Smolik in the Michigan City Summer Festival parade Sunday. A handsome trophy — a plaque of polished wood and burnished metal — sets the seal on the championship victory. In a record field of 119 units, the nationally famous March Majorettes of Fremont, Ohio, placed second. The festival, an annual three-day event, seen by more than 100,000 people, features marching units composed of bands, drill teams, drum and bugle corps, majorettes and twirling teams from all over the Midwest. This year's band is relatively young, which speaks well for the future. It has already appeared on the televised LaGrange Pet parade and will march July 27th in the Wisconsin Spectacle of Music at South Milwaukee, Wisconsin's largest annual music event, which attracts bands, drill teams, twirlers, drum and bugle corps from every state in the Union and Canada.
Gust Lindborg still runs in a limited way a regulation old-time blacksmith shop at Ainsworth. He was 80 years old on the 4 th of July and friends came during the afternoon to his home next door to the shop. Gust learned the trade in his hometown of Tomelila, Sweden, beginning at 16. When he was 19 friends of his parents living at Miller, Indiana , sent him a ticket for passage to the United States. He arrived in Miller on Sunday afternoon, June 2, 1902, and got a job on the Wabash railroad Monday morning. In September he was well enough acquainted to get a job as blacksmith with Ed Batterman.

Is anyone else in the UK having problems with addresses entered, I enter the address of a sixty year old housing scheme and it asks me to select a different number range e.g. I entered the number 32 in a street and it asked me to select a number between 2 and 25, but the street has over one hundred houses in it and has had since it was built in the early sixties????
Could you give some specific details about the location (via PM if you want)? Then I'll check if I can reproduce the issue. You can always report the issue using the online Map Share Reporter: http://tomtom.com/mapshare/tools/. Once the report is accepted, it will be implemented into a new map release (usually in 6 to 12 months).

Just to make sure that everyone's expectations are aligned. With regard to house numbers, one can of course report these problems on MSR but I would not guarantee even a 12 month turn around time on these reports. House Numbers are provided in house number ranges and not a set of individual numbers and these are surveyed. Depending on when an area will be resurveyed will obvisouly have implications on when house numbers in a particular area will appear. When they do eventually appear they are often not complete.....unfortunately this is a lengthy process to gather this information.

Come on in! Kick off your shoes and throw your stuff down wherever you want. Grab a snack and a drink out of the fridge, turn on the TV and curl up with a blanket on the couch. Throw in a load of laundry, take a shower, read a book, use the computer, or take advantage of some peace and quiet for a little cat nap. Stay a while. The point is: In my home, no one is a guest. Everyone is family. Those are the rules.
That's today. Let me tell you about another time in my life.
When I first moved to North Carolina, a little over 5 years ago, I shared an enormous house with the man I loved, a man I lived with and dated for nearly 8 years at the time. We filled our house with beautiful furniture, artwork and accessories. In fact, we spent a great deal of time and energy decorating. Each table setting was perfectly matched. There was a set for eating and a set for display on an elaborate dining room table, which we never used. Fine crystal wine glasses and flutes sat perfectly aligned in a glass cased cabinet, which was carefully dusted when needed, but otherwise never touched. An entire room was filled with the most sophisticated living room furniture and the largest, most intricate shelving unit imaginable. Books, photos, and knick-knacks were on display in every nook and cranny. But, the room was never used, and no one would dare sit on the furniture.
The house was simply majestic; larger than life. It was always neat and orderly. Everything had a place, and there was a place for everything. No dish was left unclean; no towel left unfolded. Every moment of time we had and every ounce of attention was put into that house. It was indeed breathtaking, but looking back, it was a very lonely place to be, because while everyone who entered was blown away by the work we put into it, there was one thing we left out: ourselves.
We spent more time focusing on what was in our house rather than who was in it, and that's why it never became a home.
Before long, we found ourselves selling or donating those beautiful pieces of our house to perfect strangers. Furniture, art, dishes, and even the fine crystal; memory by memory, pieces of our lives were walking away in the hands of happy new owners, who knew exactly where they would put their new found treasures. We, on the other hand, were left reflecting on the very moment when we purchased each and every item, wondering how our relationship could have possibly come to this. Even more heartbreaking was the day we walked out of that front door for the very last time. Walking away from what was once a beautiful dream was perhaps one of the most difficult days of our lives. It was a painful experience but a valuable lesson at the same time; one I carry with me in my heart to this day.
Recently, I moved into my own townhome. I've never lived on my own before, so it's been a roller-coaster of an experience in many ways. However, I am settling in and getting adjusted to my new life. Some days are more difficult than others, but for the most part, it's been a great ride. As for decorating, well… not much matches, a few pictures are sort of lopsided, and there are items in rooms that don't quite belong (like a desk in the dining room and an end table in the office), but I'm okay with that. In fact, I kind of like it that way. It seems a bit more comfortable and much less high maintenance. Besides, I learned the hard way that it's not about what surrounds you but who surrounds you that matters. The rest are just THINGS. Sure, they may look nice, and may or may not impress a few guests (depending on individual tastes), but once those guests depart, your THINGS just don't matter. The truth is, with or without guests, they really don't matter anyway.
Today, I'm no longer concerned with whether my bowls match my plates or if the towels in my guest bathroom are "the decorative ones" or "the usable ones". Who cares? If it dries the water off after a shower, use it. Period. I'm comfortable here in my home, and I want others to be, too. That's right, I said home, not house. The transition was made. It was a tough road to travel and I have the scars to prove it, but alas, I've reached the final destination, and with some very valuable lessons:
Not everything needs a place, and there's not necessarily a place for everything. Much like life, some pieces will fall where they may (or where they fit). Sometimes we just have to work around them and adjust accordingly. As long as we're comfortable, it doesn't matter what others think, or if our homes, or our lives, match those in some magazine we saw in line at the grocery store. Happiness lies within us, not within our furniture and our décor.
Sometimes in life, it's good to have a few mismatches. It adds a little flavor and makes the "ordinary" just a little bit more exciting. I sort of enjoy eating salad off of a red plate and soup out of a blue bowl. It makes me smile. I don't think I have a single set of glasses that match. I love that! As long as what comes out of them doesn't kill me or someone else, we will all live to see another day. Life is good. Who cares what color or shape the glass is?
Not everything has to be done right now. A dirty dish can wait, a load of laundry can be done tomorrow, and that pile of shoes by the door will get sorted out later. Life is happening right NOW and that is much more important. I've experienced enough to understand now that dishes and laundry will be there tomorrow. Life may not.
This has been my journey from house to home. Today, no guests are allowed. The moment you enter the door, my home becomes our home, and you become family. There is not a dish you can't use, a piece of furniture you can't sit on, or a room you can't enter.
Make yourself comfortable. Make yourself "at home".

I am useless when it comes to identifying tropical trees.
Any help would be appreciated! This tree was photographed in the Caribbean (Antigua) by a friend of mine. I would have guessed something in the Bombacaceae family but the fruit is such a strange shape. |

Barringtonia asiatica, I think. The fruit is a common driftseed on beaches, sometimes found way outside the tropics. |
- Posted by achnatherum z5 Ontario (My Page) on Mon, Mar 19, 07 at 10:28
tony, Thanks so much! I would say that you are 100% correct. We just saw a tree in Costa Rica that had 'similar' flowers - I was thinking that they might be related so ... I was heading off in completely the wrong direction. Mystery solved, thanks again! |

Jefferson City, Mo. - Attorney General Chris Koster has filed a lawsuit in Morgan County against Sunset View Estates Wastewater Treatment Facility, Inc., for violations of Missouri's Clean Water Law.
Koster said Sunset View Estates failed to meet required design standards for wastewater treatment facilities, including failing to install a fence to prevent unauthorized entry to the facility, failing to post warning signs and failing to maintain an all-weather access road to the facility. Sunset View Estates also failed to adequately maintain the wastewater treatment facility by not keeping the facility's filter mechanism free of vegetation. Sunset View Estates also failed to clearly mark the treatment facility's outfall area.
"Missouri law clearly outlines how wastewater treatment facilities must be operated and maintained in order to protect the environment," Koster said. "The Attorney General's Office will continue to hold facilities responsible for obeying Missouri's environmental laws."
Koster is asking the court to issue a permanent injunction requiring the defendant to comply with the Clean Water Law; to assess a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day the facility violated the Clean Water Law; and to require the defendant to pay all costs associated with the case.


text: The goal of the game is to create your galaxy and get as many points as possible. You touch the screen and launch a star in its orbit. Time to launch a star is limited. Stars rotate around the galaxy's center and accumulate energy which converts in the score. Stars explode after crashing. You can make only 8 explosions. Crashing stars decrease time to launch the next star. You will achieve a new level when you get some points. A new level increases explosion's timer and time to launch the next star. When you play the game you can recieve different bonuses. The bonuses can increase your score.

Accredited Symbian Developer (ASD)
Archived:The Accredited Symbian Developer (ASD) qualification allows professional Symbian developers to demonstrate their knowledge of Symbian OS software development with an industry-recognized certificate of professional achievement.
How it works
ASD candidates take a computer-assessed exam - that runs on any computer with a web browser and Internet connection.
Majinate Ltd administers the ASD program, and have a network of [http://www.majinate.com/supervisedexam.shtml regional partners] who can provide the exam. When a candidate sits the exam, the questions are weighted and the test runs in an adaptive mode (so each person is asked questions tailored to their level of ability).
The questions are on a curriculum of knowledge about Symbian, covering (broadly speaking) the material in the Fundamentals of Symbian C++ book.
The pass mark of the ASD exam is also set by Symbian, and is regularly calibrated against a sample group.
What happens when you pass?
A developer that passes the examination receives a certificate and electronic logo to use on their website or as an avatar on discussion forums.
ASDs are also entitled to benefits such as access to the portal provided by Majinate, exclusive discounts and invitations to special developer events.
Aside from these, the ASD scheme gives professional Symbian C++ developers a way to demonstrate their competence. It gives employers confidence that they are recruiting knowledgeable Symbian C++ developers.
How to prepare
A revision guide, and course handbook, is published by Symbian Press. "The Accredited Symbian Developer Primer" groups the learning objectives together and explains them. A set of sample questions to to practice before taking the exam are also available. Most of the material in this book is availabe online on Nokia Developer wiki: Fundamentals of Symbian C++
More information
For developers who are already an ASD, a complementary examination, Accredited S60 Developer, to assess understanding of S60 development is also available. More information is available [http://www.developer.nokia.com/main/technical_services/training/accredited_s60_developer.html here].
Important Points Remember for ASD
Factors to Consider when Creating a Symbian OS Class
1:Type of member data a class will contain.
1.1:Some cases where a class will not contain any member data Like M class or C class which has pure virtual or virtual functions only.
1.2:Factory or utility class containing only static functions Like User::LeaveIfError(), etc.
1.3:Member data has no destructor and needs no special cleanup Like T class.
1.4:C class objects are always created on the heap, so it should be deleted in the destructor properly.

Sarah Kogod went to last Wednesday's Wizards-Kings game in D.C. where she encountered a roving band of SuperSonics fans who are rooting for any possible team to move to Seattle. Here's the story…
From the small crowd at Verizon Center came the usual cheers for the opposing Kings and the less-than-usual cheers for the Wizards. But in this game there was a third cheer coming from the baseline — "GO SONICS!"
A group of fans, small but mighty, stood in the stands in head-to-toe green and yellow Sonics gear. They waved signs and yelled and people wondered if they might be lost. Or confused.
They weren't. Jeff Lucas, Matt Wright, Alexis Hujar, and Andrea Sklee are on a mission to raise awareness for their cause to bring a team — any team — back to Seattle. Wednesday's target was the Sacramento Kings.
"There are a couple of teams that might be going to Seattle," explained Lucas, a D.C. resident originally from Seattle. "We're here to support Sacramento. Maybe they'll be the Sonics next year."
Like the NBA version of the movie "Say Anything," they stood there all night holding signs above their heads as if they were boom boxes blaring "In Your Eyes" and professed their love for their potential Seattle mate.
"I love the Sonics from back in the Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton and Detlef Schrempf days," said Wright. "The good old days."
It's not looking good for their courtship with the Kings. Sacramento has until March 1 to come to agreement with the NBA on a new arena and it looks like the city is determined to keep their team. But these four misplaced fans aren't picky. If the Kings stay in Sacramento they already have their sights set on their next potential relocation target.
"We're going to check the schedule and see if the Hornets are coming to town," said Lucas.
