I love this dress. It is my wardrobe staple in the summer. I live in Texas and it is HOT. This dress has fabric that is wicking and quick to dry. The shelf bra provides good support. The dress is so comfortable and I love to see the new patterns they put out every year. This one is very pretty and looks much more subtle up close. I have worn this dress forever - I order a small and am 5.5' and 120 lbs if that helps
I took this trip on a Grand Canyon River trip and couldn't have been happier. It fits well, is comfortable to move in, and for me (6') is not too short/perfect length. The material has more of a cotton feel than I anticipated, but it still performed well in terms of drying relatively quickly. I wish they had more solid colors!
This dress arrived in the mail today. I tried it on after my post bike ride shower and never took it back off. I think I need one in every color. I'm 5'2, 110 lbs, a little hippy, and small chested with narrow shoulders (strait over the shoulder strap tops and dresses never work for me). But this little number fits and feels just perfect.
I love this dress! It is sporty, comfortable and versatile! It is flattering and can be worn to almost any function! I ordered dresses from Moose jaw and Patagonia on the same day! I received my order from Moose Jaw in a few days and a week and a half later I am still waiting on my order from Patagonia!
Fit was a little snugger for me around the hip--I usually want a medium in this type of dress and took a large here--but I love this dress and am ordering another in a new color. Love it. Great colors, too.
This dress is right on so many levels! At 36 with 3 children I still look good but my body is not perfect as it once was...sigh...the Prana Quinn dress makes me feel fantastic! The cut is great, form fitting but not snug or tight~ The internal bra provides GREAT support & and the colors & patterns are wonderful! This dress packs like a dream~no need to worry about wrinkles or ironing! I now own 3 versions of this dress & am getting ready to order a 4th. Two big thumbs up for this dress!
I SO love this dress! (I now own it in 3 colors/patterns) And getting ready to buy a 4th! At 36 & after 3 children by body isn't as tight/smooth as it once was~But this wonderful dress is incredibly flattering! The built in bra provides wonderful support & it packs like a dream! I get compliments every time I wear one of my Quinn dresses & plan on making them a staple in my summer wardrobe for years to come.
This is the perfect summer dress. The halter style is so flattering and the fit is great; It's fitted to show your curves but not too tight, and the a-line shape at the bottom means it will be flattering on most body types. The fabric is lightweight and so comfortable - perfect for rolling up and packing in a suitcase without having to worry about wrinkling. Make it casual with a pair of flats or dress it up with heels. Check out the Quinn top too - I bought both!

Mee Siam (Spicy Rice Vermicelli) Recipe
Mee Siam or "Siamese noodles" is basically spicy fried rice vermicelli with various toppings such as shrimp, chicken, fried firm tofu, and shredded omelet. Mee Siam is usually served with a piece of kalamansi lime (the juice gives an extra tangy kick to the noodles) and a dollop of sambal on the side.
When I was researching for Mee Siam recipes, I came across two distinct variations: dry vs. wet. The version I am sharing today is Malaysian Mee Siam recipe, which is dry. Singapore Mee Siam is often wet and topped with gravy.
Regardless of the regional adaptations, Mee Siam is a popular noodle dish in Malaysia and Singapore. It's delicious, appetizing and a crowd pleaser.

haha, I just cooked the wet (SG) version last night, based on recipe from "Best of Singapore Cooking". But the gravy is still not quite like the hawker version. I tried most of your recipes and turn out really good. Maybe you would like to have a go at it and share the recipe ? ;)
Oh my gosh, this looks outstanding. I've only ordered this dish; I've never made it myself. I love every single thing about this … the ingredients, the paste, and the garnish. YUM!
Happy New Year!
the pic looks amazing! i personally love mee siam. when i was previously in melaka, mee siam's a must but i find that they are not as good as it used to be.
thanks for sharing the recipe, am planning to give it a go perhaps during the weekend.
Your mee siam recipe looks so colourful and beautiful. I would like to have a bowl, please. LOL!
My mother's mee siam recipe is similar to yours, but she also adds some dried shrimp to the spice paste. You should try it the next time you make. I think it adds some extra flavours to the dish. Your mee siam pictures look gorgeous and droolsome as always.
Keep up the good work!

Happy New Year Bee!
The mee siam looks scrumptious!
I have been on the look out for a good mee siam recipe for eons. I trust you as the Southeast Asian cooking goddess, so I would trust this recipe with my life. Thank you again Bee, and Happy New Year!
good timing! i cooked this for an xmas potluck.
the wet singapore version, as its easier to do.
i just bought a bottle of woh hup mee siam paste, its as easy as making instant noodles and is oh so spicy and authentic!!i served it with boiled egg and fishballs/fishcake
their laksa paste is great too, these are two things i stock up on before i fly back to england. a bowl of laksa in the middle of winter is simply brilliant.
Hi Where do you get the woh hup mee siam paste from? I am in Canberra Austraia.
My husband likes crispy noodles with sauce. Me? I like the dry version better. Good thing we're good at compromising, and don't mind eating each other's favorite.
Happy New Year to you!
This is dish gets my thumbs up! – noodles and it's with chili paste! Yummy!
A great recipe to kick start the year! Happy New Year! looking forward to more delightful recipes in 2009!
All foods here look delicious and yummmy…
As a Malaysian, sad to say I've only had the Sg version. And that's because my sg friend gave me the instant mix.
wow! i accidentally stumbled here…your cooking is out of this world. thanks for sharing these recipes..they're unbelievable. i will have to try them sometime!
Yes, it is a crowd pleaser and my favourite fried noodles, though I prefer to go easy on the chili paste!
I have been trying to get a good and reliable mee siam recipe, wet or dry. Now, I think I have found the right one and this is on the menu for next week's weeknight dinner! yay!
Mee Siam is my fave no. 1 noodle!
RM, hope things are better…look forward to brighter and better tomorrows in the new year!
Looks delicious! Will keep this on my list of things to try making :)
Hi, I wanna try out this recipe to9. Jus curious on the garlic part, isit 5 whole pulps? Thx
I saved this recipe for months and finally tried it yesterday. I'm an amateur cook so I didn't have my hopes up high. I'm happy to report that this recipe turned out great! Not quite like my mum's (but that's almost impossible to replicate anyway) but very close in terms of authenticity. DH enjoyed it too! The few amendments I made were: I used 8 shallots and 4 garlic. Deseeded 3 out of the 4 chillies or it'd be too spicy otherwise. Added a dash of fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar and mmmmmm, soooo good. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us – It's for keeps!
Lovely dish but usually we sprinkle dried chili powder on top and stir in the bowl.

>>Brew, all is not lost.
That's not what I'm saying...quite the opposite.
I realize it's human nature to complain about things you don't like rather than cheer the things you do, but nobody ever has anything good to say about how professional scouters, and particularly national, handle any aspect of the program.
Because local, volunteer scouters are generally assumed to be reasonably competent with the best interest of boys and the program at heart, there must be some sort of process professional scouters go through where they become completely incompetent, if not downright destructive, to the program they have committed to lead, and there must be self-destructive tendencies among the people and boards that keep giving these people jobs.

When being a DE changes from a passion to a job. When a pro focuses more on getting a raise than having a quality, thriving program. When a pro will do whatever it takes to meet the money and membership goals. When a pro is only focused on being #1 in the area,or region.
Most of the passionate pros I worked with quit. Some became disgusted with the council leadership. Some were under so much stress that they had nervous breakdowns. Some were given choice like I was: Me or the job. I chose the wife. but other did choose the job.
As I mentioned elsewhere. Sometimes very good people get moved to national. And sometimes it seems like they move to national to prevent them form doing more damage. I suspect that was the case with my old SE. BUT the SE who got promoted to SCOUTNET director initially, really screwed up since he had 0 IT background.
Brew, I don't think there is a process that a vol or a pro goes thru so that they work against the heritage of the BSA.
I think it's a matter of temperment.
Why so many people would want to be part of a historically outdoor-oriented organization, and yet look down or seek to minimize the best selling points of the BSA, is beyond me. But they do it anyway. And it impacts the organization as a whole.
What is scouting without adventure?
The problem, as I see it, is that Venturing is this "other program". When venturers aren't part of the picture on National's web page, it shows a lack of vision. One prominent scouter told me "but venturers make up a small percentage of our base.". That's not the point. National should put up a picture of what percentage it *should* make. If they believe that every CO should have a venturing unit, then the stock photo of scouting should have a Venturer and a Sea Scout behind a cub, web, and first class scout. Donors should have a clear vision of whom they are supporting.
If National believes that venturing is a side show that should be swept under the rug because it freaks out the anti-coed, uniform police, then carryon as usual.(This message has been edited by Qwazse)

When a pro focuses more on getting a raise than having a quality, thriving program.
In an ideal world the only way a pro would get a raise would be by having a quality, thriving program. A part of the problem may be that BSA isn't "selling" a service that people directly pay for in the way that, say, AAA sells roadside assistance. Instead, BSA sells mostly an image that they use for fundraising.
One of the big problems in any large organization is when the external feedback loop get's longer than any of the important internal ones. External feedback is when people external to the organization give you money (or stop giving you money, if it's negative). Internal feedback is how people get raises, promotions, and increased authority (or get fired if it's negative). I get the impression BSA's external feedback loop is measured in decades, that they get a lot of money from people with fond memories of the troop of their youth four or five decades ago.
When a pro will do whatever it takes to meet the money and membership goals. When a pro is only focused on being #1 in the area,or region.
This is a reminder that it's really a management and leadership problem. Any system you put in place for rewarding people can be subverted, intentionally or accidentally, and any incentive, review, or evaluation process will have unintended consequences that need to be managed. You have to have a system that tries to reward the right things, and then you need managers who make sure the spirit of the thing wins out.

A scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.
They are taking away the uniqueness of all branches of scouting by giving them all the same sign, salute, Oath, and Law, but what they are thinking is that they want to unify all branches of scouting. Nevermind the fact that Ventures don't want to be unified with Boy Scouts or any other branch of scouts for that matter. I don't know about any of you, but when I join Ventures in the near future(about 6 months probably) I will encourage my crew to stand by the Venture Sign, Salute, and Oath, despite what National says. BTW, have you heard that they are doing away with the Bronze, Gold, and Silver Awards in favor of a new rank system?
First of all you need to get the terminology straight, it is Venturing and Venturers. There will be no ranks since Venturing is not a rank based program and never has been because it is coed and based on individual interests and achievements. Ranks are for younger scouts Venturing if done right is for older teens who want to learn some unique skills in a variety of fields. If National tries to introduce a ranking system to Venturing it will just further destroy an already good program for the older teens.
Yeah, I have a different read on the tea leaves there young grasshopper . I suspect by incorporating the oath, law, etc. the BSA is actually setting the program up to turn the Boy Scouts into the middle-school program of scouting (focusing on the T21 requirements, citizenship, service, etc.) and Venturing (including Sea Scouts) into the HS program (focused on experiential learning/High Adventure, etc.). I wouldn't be surprised when the new recognition system comes out to see it include a pillar that basically incorporates Star/Life/Eagle along side the other awards for those former Boy Scouts that want to finish that line. In doing so they'll end the need for the Varsity program and make it easier to also support Sea Scouts by including them as an option for 14 year olds to join.
It's a big country and "what venturers want" is very diverse. But, there are some trends ...
The most striking one is they don't want to stick around. For the past 7 years, venturing membership has been the fastest declining division of the BSA.
Very few of crews buy awards, which is a good sign that thy are not earning them.
Many of them aren't heavily invested in the venturing oath and code. It's just not pounded in their heads.
Clearly, if they aren't earning their gold awards, there is no real need for them to bother with the oath and code.
There are troop members who think venturers don't belong anywhere near them. Most of these are adults. It stinks. Those of us who are in the game for all youth involved are sick of it.
So, say you have a nation-wide shrinking business, in one of your divisions customers are walking out the door faster than the other, and the ones that stick around aren't buying what you have to offer. Customers in another division complain that the few costumers in the fastest shrinking division are making your product less enjoyable to them. Of the 10 things that you could change about the company, turns out that you only have the ability to change 2. What would you do?

There is the link regarding the new rank/recognition system: http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/...ouncement.aspx
Sorry for the disappointment, BadenP.
Ventures, Venturing, Venturers, really, who cares? They're all the same.
Eagle, They really don't give any real details about the so called rank system, but coming from National it will be a totally thrown together program without any real substance. The REAL reason that Venturing has lost membership is a total lack of commitment and support by National to the crews in the field. Venturing has always been treated like the bastard child of scouting and the loss of members just verifies that fact. In my council we have all our crews at top performance because we took the bull by the horns and developed our own system and training that has made ALL the crews in our council successful and growing without the help of council or National.
Qwasze- I think you have been drinking too much of the Kool Aid that National shoves out to the volunteers. You may have noticed that National takes NO responsibility for screwing up Venturing like they have since 1998. Venturing is not what needs to change, it is those pencil pushing desk jockeys at National who know squat about scouting that need to go starting with Brock and his cronies,.
E441: You and my previous crew president! She said "Venture just doesn't sound right and why couldn't they have chosen something that slips of the tongue easier?"
It's all about branding. Which matters to a lot of people. Not so much to others. (For example, the person who labeled pics from Jambo on BSA's Flickr stream used "Venture Scout".)
In terms of who I will be climbing and rappelling with on Saturday? It won't matter an ounce. As long as they're on when I need belayed, I'll be happy.
BP, no koolaid. I'm just trying to give us a view from behind Wayne's desk and why he would form a task force to act! I'm not suggesting that any of the actions will result in a change in membership trajectory.Last edited by qwazse; 08-08-2013, 01:26 PM.

Excuse me? I like title of Venturing a lot more than Boy Scouts, which with "boy" in the title makes it sound kind of childish. While Venturing on the other hand is basically "adventuring," referring to the high adventure aspect.
"Ventures, Venturing, Venturers, who really cares?"
When I said that that I was referring to the fact that "Ventures" and "Venturers" is basically the exact same word., and I was annoyed at the fact that BadenP had to nit-pick my terminology.

Like BP has been saying, the reason membership has been falling is because of "a total lack of commitment and support by National ." But also because Venturing is not well known even among Boy Scouts. Over half of the guys in my troop have no idea what Venturers do or what Venturing is in general. The lack of "advertisement" of the Venturing program is causing even Boy Scouts to not know who they are, much less non-scouts.

Commitment? Support? I'm not sure what that means?
Advertising? It is pushed plenty. Far more than the percent of scouts in it. But BSA is not cash rich for advertising. They can't do commercials everywhere on every program under the BSA label.
It's not that BSA is trying to kill Venturing.
BSA is trying to fix multiple programs that are broken in multiple ways.
Venturing brand is just not there
Everyone knows about Eagle scout. Eagle scout is almost legondary. It has a myth about it. Venturing awards are meaningless to most everyone else.
CANDIDATE POPULATION is very limited.
- Boys - A 14 year old boy has probably tried scouts if they ever would. Cub scouts. Boy scouts. If they have not or quit a previous scouting program, they are not going to try another scouting program. But if they are still in, you want them to switch to yet another program because it's different? Another transition? Right when they discover girls and work and entering high school? And Venturing is not a dating program ... right?
- Girls - Same thing. Been thru Girl Scouts. Or still in. If they did not want to be in Girl scouts or had a bad experience, they won't try another scouting program. Then add high school and puberty and jobs and .... ..... ...
There are relatively few at that age that will try yet another scouting program.
Challenging times
BSA has political fights going on. Plus competition. Marketing. Etc.
IMHO, BSA just needs to get back to the basics and do a bunch of redesign. One of the biggest is getting back to focusing on program materials and camping and letting charter orgs run their program. Maybe co-ed or not. Maybe multiple orientations. Maybe 100 kids or 10 kids. Maybe ONE unit for kids 5 years old thru 20 years old.
Get back to the basics.

Yeah, this is our biggest problem in the unit. We're a niche group. Our core group is Sabbath observant Jews in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. We also get traditional Jews that aren't observant, but like their children's involvement in it. They live in mixed neighborhoods with schools with small Jewish populations, and they like their sons having other Jewish friends.
So for us, if we want youth programming for everyone, we should have a Pack, Troop, GSTroop, plus maybe a Crew? At the end of last year, we dwindled down to 12 Active Cubs and 6 Active Boys in our program. We're looking to rebuild numbers, but I don't see a scenario where our Pack grows beyond 30-35 and our Troop beyond 20-25, and that's BEST case scenario. With 18 Active male Youth (and some are from families with 2 boys in the program), to run BSA's program we need:
Scout Master
Assistant Scout Master
Troop Committee Chair
Pack Committee Chair
Webelos Leader
Bear Leader
Wolf Leader
Tiger Leader
That's 9 required adult positions, 7 if you assume that the Pack Committee Chair and Cub Master are also Den Leaders (which they are in our unit). That's before filling a single committee role.
If you're one of our Mega Churches with 60+ Cubs and 100+ Boy Scouts, terrific, you can run separate committees for all levels. If you're a small unit like ours, you're killing us with paperwork.. and guess what, that paperwork takes away from time we could be spending actually running the program which would help us grow. The difference between us have 18 youth and 80 youth is quality of programming and recruiting, and letting us have more flexibility in administration would be dramatic.
BSA puts out GREAT program materials. It has a solid organization structure (compared to GSUSA's "do whatever you want") approach, but flexibility to administer the program. I'm sick of talking about gay scouts and gay leaders. 70% of the units are in religious institutions, please let us worry about "moral leaders" according to our religious guidance and get BSA back to creating more and better programming and raising corporate money for developing camp sites and district/council programming that make it easier on us to run great units.
That's what BSA does best.

When I say advertisement I don't mean playing commercials. I mean promotion, Boy Scouts go to Cub Scout packs for recruitment of soon-to-be-aging-out Cub Scouts. Why don't Venturers do the same thing at Boy Scout Troops? There are no where near as many Venture Crews(or Sea Scout Ships for that matter) as there are Boy Scout Troops.
08-08-2013, 10:44 PMEditing a commentThankfully, my troop leaders aren't like that, I have mentioned my future departure to Venturing to a couple of them, they thought it was good that I was moving on to bigger and better things.
fred johnson commented08-11-2013, 03:47 PMEditing a commentWhy don't Venturers do the same thing at Boy Scout Troops? Easy. Boy Scouts and Venturing ages overlap. Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts ages don't. All groups have membership declines, but Venturing pulls members from Boy Scouts during a key age. Boy Scouts has already had an older-boy problem. Now ya want to pull them into a separate program? Ya know ... it's a bad design. BSA shoots itself in the foot. A program redesign needs to be done. I'm not sure what, but things are broken now and need to be fixed.
Venturing changes in 2014: http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2013/05/28/venturing/
RememberSchiff commented08-09-2013, 08:46 AMEditing a commentThis is like hoping to restart a fire by throwing a bucket of ice water on fading embers.
Even more puzzling, the success/failure to reverse declining Venturing membership will be unmeasurable since Part 4 Change in Membership Reporting now counts Venturing, Varsity, and Sea Scouts together!
FWIW, I thought the BSA leadership spent a fair amount of time promoting Venturing at every gathering at Jambo. The Venturing President was on stage with the OA National Chief. They made sure to welcome Scouts, Scouters and Venturers with every announcement. I don't recall if it was Perry, Brock or Stephensen that said something to the effect of Welcome Venturers, we built this place for you.
With the so called Venturing changes coming from National in 2014 and their total past incompetence in even understanding what Venturing is supposed to be about I have NO doubt this will severely impact all those crews struggling, as well as turn off any new teens looking at Venturing. IMO Brock is as big a tool as Mazzuca in turning a blind eye for 15 years at Venturing and now thinking those incompetent desk jockeys at National can turn it around, what a joke, but that is par for anything National does.
King Ding Dong commented08-09-2013, 04:35 PMEditing a commentBP, what is Venturing supposed to be about and where have they gone wrong? I asked a crew chief who was taking IOLS the question "so what do does your crew do ?" And all I ever got from he was "HA". I know they aren't going to Philmont every weekend so what do they DO ? Or is it just a program for rich kids that can take off for HA once a month ?
08-09-2013, 10:18 PMEditing a commentWhat is Venturing supposed to be about? http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/...venturing.aspx
Where have they gone wrong? Venture Crews are left to do their own thing, their crew activities can be whatever they want, they don't have to be related to the outdoors, or anything related to scouts. While many do actually do the things listed on scouting.org(like in my council, thankfully), but many more do whatever they want. As emb021 said in the "Starting a New Venturing Program" thread:
"Venturing crews will fall into one of 5 categories: outdoors, arts/hobbies, sports, youth ministries (basically church youth groups), or Sea Scouts. When one speaks of "high adventure", its usually some of the outdoor crews, maybe also Sea Scouts.
Even then, the types of crews can be mindboggling to those not open to the possibilities. I know of role play game crews, anime crews, SAR crews, outdoor crews, scuba crews, sailing crews, music crews, soccer crews, church youth group crews, WWII re-enactment crews, Civil war re-enactment crews, mountainman/frontiersman crews and more."
You want to know what kind of high adventure? Look at Crew 2147 in Ooltewah, TN for example:
http://netroster.scouter.com/roster....item/440663265 (it says Boy Scout Crew but they are a regular co-ed Venture Crew) It only specifies 4 things on there but I know for a fact that they go rappelling, whitewater rafting(Class IV Rapids), and, occasionally, sailing. I know that because one of their members was in my patrol(they called it a "clan" there) at Kodiak Leadership Training(Kodiak Challenge).
As someone who was informed of Venturing before it came out in August 1998, Here are my comments. 1) The folks at national were told by my group in PDL-1 that they will be confusion with the name as A) venture crews already existed and naming the units of the new program would be confusing and B)Venturing was too close a name to the venture and the target audience was very similar. 2) The Bronze, Gold, Silver Awards were not meant to be ranks, but recognition. Ranger, and later Trust and Quest were meant to be "expert" awards with an emphasis in the particular specialty area. Units could, or could not work on them form the get go, and it was meant to be RECOGNITION. Why that got put on the "dashboard" and for JTE is beyond me. 3) Venturing has not been around long enough to get established in the public's eye. Further since units do not have to work on the recognitions, that further puts a bind on getting "Brand Recognition" 3A) Bringing back both the old Exploring RANGER rank as a specialty award, and old Exploring SIlver Award for Venturing Silver DID get some "brand recognition." My uncle, who earned both the Eagle and Exploring Silver was very happy to have the Silver Award back. 4) Even pros who SHOULD know all about Ventuing don't because of the wide variety of options for the crews. Best example I can give is the pro who should have known all about the program because she received all the info on it in order to present a class on a segment of it. BUT after receiving all the info, after just presenting her class ( which was read form the paper and looked like she did no prep work), when the time came to talk to someone about the program I had to do all the work as she sat there like a lump of coal 5) Sea Scouts has been part of Venturing from the get go. More later

Note to readers:
- I use customised GFX graphics (Tripartite pack mod, Bestmajors mod, etc.)!
- Since I got in my hands an early 0.60 beta version mod's graphics haven't been fully updated to represent what one is supposed to see! Graphical updates will be done by Hagar in upcoming internal versions and will be showcased separately.
- Air and naval unit stats haven't been the ones used in the latest version so don't mind them!
OK, let me start this short Japanese campaign by showing you what awaits you when you start up your game.
Imperial Japan, 1st January 1936.
Let's take a peek at a starting diplomatic situation.
Japanese Home islands, Taiwan, Korea, Rehe region in N. China and many Pacific Islands belong to our core imperial domain which has a Paternal Autocracy as a form of government. In terms of political stability Rehe region is the most unstable one due to native revolt and many tensions (skirmishes) between our and Chinese Warlord's army. Tensions are high also on the border with Soviet Union so we need to make sure we don't awake the red bear especially because we got reports from our units that Soviet military capacities are not negligible in the area. There is some turmoil on the Home Japanese islands but if the problems arise unity will be maintained by our Security garrisons spread throughout our domains.*
*Note: all starting Security forces are locked up together with majority of forces guarding the border with Soviet Union - the latter are unlocked if war with SU starts).
We have Manchukuo for a puppet and we already started being in contact with emergent Mongol Military Government (MMG) which has desires to separate from Shanxi and needs our support in order for their separation to be realizable. MMG might prove useful to our cause later on, we shall see.
Manchukuo is used for straightforward resource exploitation which is reflected in valuable supply and money shipments from them to our main island which boosts our economy quite considerably. On top of that we have a military control over them which makes our future war with the Chinese more sustainable due to land units this state is able to provide.
Starting OOB needs reorganisation
Most of your army is stationed on the Japanese mainland so you need to reorganise, ferry and rebase your military forces to more useful OOB's and locations for the upcoming Sino-Japanese war. You have more options here and it depends how you want your game to play out. Land troops can be either ferried to Rehe region in Northern China for the assault on Shanxi and/or to Taiwan if you are to make a southern amphibious assault on Gungxi Clique and on main Chinese land (a bit later on that is).
Air assets should be rebased to airfields from where their current range can be properly utilized. I've put mine to Changde - Dalian (N. China), Taiwan and Okinawa.
Main use of the Manchukuo-ian army in this campaign will be to guard the Rehe border with Shanxi since I decided to transport all of my land troops to Taiwan for the early war with Gungxi Clique (I went a bit ahistorical in order to secure a better starting point for my attack on Nationalistic China). Head on assaults with them will be done only in dire situations so they are primarily intended for defensive and auxiliary tasks. I provided Manchukuo government with some of the technological blueprints which will make their land army more potent.
You should also reorganise your starting naval forces from the get-go so that they are ready and more effective for the upcoming conflicts. Historical OOB does not completely suite players needs so I went with 1 Carrier Task Force (CTF) lead by Yamamoto (seen on the pic below), 3 main Surface Action Groups (SAG) together with 2 smaller SAG's, some independent destroyer groups (older and/or shorter range vessels) and many submarine wolf packs consisting of subs with similar range to make the most out of naval range and speed aspect. Leaders with proper traits and skills were assigned accordingly.
We are notified about our excellent Naval doctrine and all the ships that are already being produced and require a big chunk of our national resources. I decide to continue with the building programme.
As already explained in the 0.60 dev diary smaller ships/screens are not represented on a 1:1 basis any more. Pay attention to below pic where you can note that for example destroyer unit (DD 7) has 3 dashes on the lower right part of the icon while another destroyer unit (DD 6) has 4 dashes. Each dash represents one ship. Capital ships have only one dash that visually differs according to the ship's size and length. Transport ships unit icon shows that there are 20 actual ferries in one singly unit - now that makes for an easier understandability of what those transport ships really are like! There are more naval brigades also which were sorely missing in previous versions of the mod.*
*Note: Naval brigades icons aren't updated, in finalised version there will be more icon variety. (Teggethoff, is this correct ?)
Internal political situation on the Home islands
As already mentioned there are no widespread internal tensions on the Home islands at the start but situation isn't pretty nevertheless. The Kodoha organisation is stirring unrest and we have to be especially cautious when dealing with their spreading power and influence. We will hopefully overcome any difficulties on the home front with smart leadership decisions.
Our economy and people in general are already somewhat mobilised for a war due to government policies and constant conflict we have with the Chinese ever since we puppeted Manchukuo. Together with rearmament initiative we can utilise our war efforts more effectively.
I decide to maintained all starting ministers and not swap anyone for the time being.
First move I do is I drift away one notch from drafted army and into standing army which gives me lower upgrade time and cost, better unit organisation (much needed in China where enemy numbers are far greater then yours) on the expense of gearing bonus and military expense.
Those of you that are not familiar with the particularities of this mod might appreciate implemented Development Level which represents general technological and industrial state of each nation in the game. It's one of those aspects of this mod I love the most because it makes for a much more plausible game where vanilla sandbox aspect is much limited. Below you can see what modifiers Japan starts with.
This is it for the intro - next up: Japanese starting tech tree overview and what I decided to research. Stay tuned

As adult educators, we often focus on the benefits in terms of career and earnings that educating adults brings our students- and rightly so. However, for those students who are low-income parents, the benefits of education are also tremendous for their children.
Adult education is not, as a whole, family friendly. Children are not welcome in classes, and there is a shortage of affordable, quality daycare even if WorkFirst is subsidizing it. Simply put, if there is no place for junior, mom will not be in school. No doubt, childcare is expensive; and everyone would love free childcare. But in the case of women who have only completed 6 years or less of formal education, who don't speak English well, education offers an opportunity for them to change their futures and that of their families.
That maternal education leads to better educational outcomes for children is old news. There should be no need to repeat the research, but let's throw another study on the heap:
The program where I work, Madison Family Literacy, consistently has a waitlist of 60 students. The wait for a place in the program is often up to a year long or longer. The reason? Parents are waiting for a spot for their child in the early childhood class, so that they can attend ESL or GED class. Infants under 1 year of age can be in class with mom, sleeping, breastfeeding, playing or babbling. And we work with parents on how to cultivate a love of language and literacy from the start, and to help them understand the culture of the public schools.
When the economic crisis hit, what did the State Board cut? Family Literacy. First, they shut down programs that were not well organized, or not well performing. Fair enough. We rode on our good record and even got some donations from the closed programs. But then, they just dissolved Family Literacy altogether, reallocating the money among colleges in small amounts. Madison's budget took an $85,000 hit. Most colleges around the state simply shuttered their Family Literacy programs. In the financial storm, some closed their off campus operations, including basic skills programs in high need neighborhood; .
Fortunately, staff at TCC are committed to our program and did what was needed to hang on; we laid off most of the childcare staff and one teacher and tightened our belts. The remaining teachers offered to take a pay cut and volunteer their time (which was fortunately not necessary). And we are still here.
In tight times, the Board has chosen to focus solely on the adult students of today (granted, their mission), and funding cycles continue to operate looking for short-term gains. But we should not ignore that underfunding early childhood and parent education keeps families in poverty. Unfortunately, children take 18 years to mature into beings who can be served directly by the Community Colleges, or vote; and so we have to advocate for them. We can do that in the community colleges by advocating for the education of families, especially those with young children- because that is when the impact of education in a family is greatest.
Please join me in calling on the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges to reinstate funding for Family Literacy in Washington State. Even if they do so on a conditional basis, I am confident our students will rise to the challenges they are already tackling; to learn English and finish their secondary education in record time.

Snowplow simulator offers rare chance to practice
Sunday, December 9, 2012
DALLAS — In an area that gets a mere 3 inches of snow a year, Dallas snowplow drivers live in fear of major winter storms like the one that crippled their city almost two years ago, the week before it was to host the Super Bowl.
The last massive snowstorm in North Texas remains a black eye for local government. When more than 5 inches of snow fell back in 2011, many highways went unplowed, and thousands of football fans got stranded before the big game. The toll authority was forced to use construction road graders to clear impassable roads.
"The Super Bowl that everybody talks about really opened our eyes," Hemphill said. "We had to put another tool in our toolbox."
The toll authority spent about $84,000 on nine snowplow blades that attach to the front of regular dump trucks. Then it hired a subsidiary of New York-based L-3 Communications to help with training by putting on its snowplow simulation.
Then, without warning, a child dashed onto the roadway. Peralta wasn't able to swerve in time. Later, he laughed, saying he had driven in snow before and knew not to use the gas nearly that much.
Dallas' street services department recently had workers drive routes in dry weather to learn them before the next storm. The city also doubled its stock of sand and snow after it ran out during the Super Bowl.
"Quite honestly, they don't want to make news for those reasons," he said. "When it happens, a 2-inch snow in Atlanta is a big deal."

And then, what is the point? You'd end up with apps that had to do double the work - one codebase to run on the proprietary drivers in OpenGL, and another seperate one to run on the Mesa drivers in D3D. No one wanted to do that.
This could have been a good experiment, something for people to play around with. But i think in the end, it didn't even get that much attention because it was always a work in progress.

If you thought that Scream & Shout was infectious, just wait until you watch this leaked video of the remix. Britney and will.i.am kill it in the original and this time around Scream & Shout features Lil' Wayne, Diddy, Waka Flocka, and Hit-Boy. The video takes visual cues from the first video and makes it a little more simpler (and less product placement-y) which makes it all around a better track and video.
