Ambient noise has been proven to help make you more productive, but getting that perfect level of not-too-loud and not-too-silent can be tricky. Coffee shops are usually recommended for their middle ground of noise and present but not distracting company, but finding that can be difficult if you don't have the ability to work at a coffee shop every day. Coffitivity is our favorite tool for finding that sweet spot between calming background noise and commotion, and can be used on your computer, Android, iPad, or iPhone.

Sometimes your very first idea is the one. The first business name that sprung serendipitously to mind, the first illustration presented to a new client, the first object prototype, or the first concept for a new online course are often framed as sparks of genius. More often though, first is worst. Creative projects, no matter the medium, most often require iteration, development, research, and evolution.
In the effort to ship fast, we often experience tunnel vision surrounding our first solid idea. Academics call that "design fixation." We experience a creative sparkle with our first idea and so, subconsciously or not, get mired in proving it works rather than exploring alternatives. Sometimes the fixation is fueled by a mental bias towards our first concept, but it can also be exacerbated by an inside-the-box culture (risks = bad) or a limitation on resources (first idea = cheaper and faster). Regardless, it can be difficult to tell whether or not that first idea is a keeper, which is dangerous. In theory, becoming fixated on your first idea would be fine if it turned out to be a one-in-a-million revelation, but much of the time first passes are just the start of a contemplative creative process.
Luckily, there are ways to overcome the fixation and remove the first idea blinders. In an analysis of a study of how 13 U.K. designers deal with design fixation, FastCoDesign shares a few suggestions for how to overcome the mental block of the bad first idea:
PEER REVIEW: An isolated designer only has her own perspective to draw upon, while working in a team can bring in more outside experience. "We do… technical peer reviews where you bring in somebody who's not related to the project to challenge you as a project leader," an interviewee explains. These outside observers can say, "'Oh, why have you done it like that?' Or: 'Show me your rationale for how you've done it.'"
USE MORPHOLOGICAL CHARTS: Morphological charts, a design tool used to generate and organize potential solutions, were the preferred method of systematically reducing the effect of fixation. "[You] build a matrix that forces you to consider all of the various different options, forces you to fill out alternative approaches," one designer describes it.
MAKE A MODEL: Sometimes, you don't know how misguided your idea was until you see it in real life, and something just doesn't work, advises one interviewee: "Typically, in a brainstorm, people fire off the immediate ideas in their head. I can imagine they would be biased by things they have seen recently or whatever, but I think when you actually come to build things, then the physics of the world kicks in, and you can't really cheat that stuff."
These tactics are great safeguards for ensuring you don't get stuck regurgitating old ideas or being blind to creative alternatives. The ironic beauty of these approaches is that they may actually turn out not to elucidate key iterations, but rather to solidify a first idea, strengthening the sense that the initial concept was indeed the best bet. You'll never know until you embark on the process.
The early bird often gets the worm; but slow and steady wins the race.
At the precipice of a new project, is it possible to mitigate most of the predicted risks? Just how far into the future can you accurately plan ahead? Failure to visualize the divergent possible outcomes of a project will reduce your chance of starting off on the right foot. Not being able to visualize success will impact your ability to inspire your team. And not being able to visualize failure will diminish your team's confidence.
Before you start your next project, you should know what you're getting yourself into by conducting a sort of "pre-mortem." Author Ben Casnocha spent 10,000 hours with LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman (whom he later co-wrote The Alliance: Managing Talent in the Networked Age with), and discovered that when you align around three simple scenarios, as a team, you can calibrate your expectations and invest accordingly.
Upside: If everything clicks and you even get a bit lucky, what's the likely outcome of your project? World domination? A successful product launch? A bestselling book? If this "upside" case isn't very compelling, you might not want to embark on the project in the first place—or at least you might calibrate the level of investment. The upside case for what you're working on needs to be exciting.
Regular: If things go fine but not great, what's the 'regular' scenario look like? To use a golf metaphor, if you hit the fairway – not the green, not the rough, just the fairway – with your effort, what happens?
Downside: If your project stalls or goes sideways, what's the downside case look like? Is it mortal – i.e., are you dead (reputation-wise, financially, etc.)? Or is the downside quite survivable?
Set expectations early, and then start your actual project. Even with limited information at the outset, you can still manage expectations as you go. Brett Harned of Team Gannt suggests reviewing expectations on a regular basis. Harned recommends creating shared to-do lists, delivering possible bad news early, and asking clarifying questions:
What it comes down to is that you must communicate early and often, document conversations, and continuously follow-up with the collective project team in order to keep things straight. If you passively let things work out on their own, you'll not only kill your project, you'll lose the trust and respect of your team. So be proactive in setting expectations and keep an open line of communication, and you'll find that sparkly unicorn.
Starting a new project requires a leap of faith. Between where you and your team presently stand and the expected outcome of the project, there exist multiple questions and variables. Your team's ability to traverse that uncertain bulk, to stay focused, and to overcome any obstacles will ultimately determine whether or not your project will be successful. Ensuring you're calibrating expectations with the upside, regular, and downside scenarios will help you visualize the road ahead as far as possible. You can never be too prepared, especially when you're managing the expectations of a team. In the wise words of Sun Tzu, "The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand."

If you want to increase creativity, it helps to be happy. Positive emotions increase our curiosity in the world around us and open our minds to new experiences, skills and ideas. In PBS's series This Emotional Life, they discuss the link between creativity and positive emotions:
Researchers have found that creativity is less likely to occur in the presence of sadness, anger, fear, and anxiety—and that it is more likely to occur with positive emotions, such as joy and love. One study found that people are more likely to come up with a creative idea if they felt happy the day before, and then they feel happy when they are creative. Creativity contributes to an "upward spiral" of positive emotions and greater happiness.
Just by being creative, we can kick start an upward spiral of positive emotions which allow us to handle the often negative environment we create within. In an interview with Core77, Vice President of Design at Sonos Tad Toulis discloses that the best part of his job is spending time with people who are "pessimistic optimists." This immunity to negativity is an essential trait for creatives. To remain pessimistically optimistic, Toulis explains the most important quality in a designer:
Stamina and thick skin. Design is an activity where you're daring to think of something that doesn't exist. And that takes a certain amount of hubris. And you hear no so much, and you're told why things won't work so often, that at some point it really does engender people who don't seem to listen to that. And that's a strange trait; I think it happens because you just get immune to it. But I do think perseverance and stamina are tremendously important traits in being a designer.
What happens when the stress becomes too much to bear? We can create our way out of that as well. In an article from The Telegraph, they suggest three activities inspired from our childhood to reduce stress: coloring, writing and physical play. By focusing on a simple repetitive task, coloring calms our mind and acts as a meditative technique. Writing for 15 to 30 minutes about a stressful life event improves not only your mood, but also physical health, memory and sleep. And how could jumping on a giant trampoline or playing in an adult ball pool not put you in a good mood?
Making a mistake, screwing up a major project, or seeing your business fail sucks. Being wrong on any scale is a blow to your self-confidence, makes you question the path you're on, and cripples your motivation to move forward. But there's another way to think about failure: it's inevitable. James Clear writes over on his blog:
For some reason, we often expect our first choice to be the optimal choice. However, it's actually quite normal for your first attempt to be incorrect or wrong. When it comes to complex issues like determining the values you want in a partner or selecting the path of your career, your first attempt will rarely lead to the optimal solution.
So if failure is unavoidable, what does that mean for reaching success, and how do you reframe it as productive? Clear has collected a handful of helpful learnings from his failures over the years as an entrepreneur, writer, and photographer. When you're next mired in a mental miasma over a serious misstep, consider his reflections:
Choices that seem poor in hindsight are an indication of growth, not self-worth or intelligence…. If you know enough about something to make the optimal decision on the first try, then you're not challenging yourself.
Given that your first choice is likely to be wrong, the best thing you can do is get started. The faster you learn from being wrong, the sooner you can discover what is right…. The best way to learn is to start practicing.
Break down topics that are too big to master into smaller tasks that can be mastered…. If you want to get better at making accurate first choices, then play in a smaller arena.
The time to trust your gut is when you have the knowledge or experience to back it up. You can trust yourself to make sharp decisions in areas where you already have proven expertise. For everything else, the only way to discover what works is to adopt a philosophy of experimentation.
So not only is being wrong a great thing, given that it more often than not represents an opportunity to grow, it's an essential stepping stone to success. You can decrease your failure rate by dividing huge ideas into smaller, actionable mini-ideas, and by getting lots of practice experimenting, but you won't be able to skip straight from lightbulb to history-making glory.
The trick here is that you have to work out the mental muscle that can recognize failure, learn from it, and leverage those learnings into moving forward. Being wrong is only awesome if you use your error in the right way. As economist and Financial Times columnist Tim Harford writes in his book, Adapt: Why Success Always Starts With Failure:
Success comes through rapidly fixing our mistakes rather than getting things right first time.
So screwing up isn't bad. You just have to make sure you're listening closely to yourself and the feedback of those around you to gauge when, why, and how a failure went down in order to spin it into gold.
If you want to fill your customer's needs, you have to listen to what they want. Donna Carpenter, owner of Burton Snowboarding, learned this firsthand when she became President of the company in December 2011. She focused on making Burton the brand of choice for women snowboarders, though after they hit a rapid growth spurt in the '80s and '90s, Burton had become male dominated and lost their female customers' voice. In an interview with Edition F, Carpenter explains:
…We had a children's snowboard for boys that had robots on it. A woman in our soft goods department then said, 'I know there's a demand for a girls' snowboard.' So we went to graphics and said, 'You have to give us a girls' snowboard.' They just turned it purple and it still had robots on it. We laughed and said, 'No one is going to buy it. A girl doesn't want it, because it has robots and a boy won't buy it, because it's purple. And then you're going to say girls don't want snowboards.' So we insisted that they put little girls' graphics on the board like butterflies. It exceeded pre-season projections by 250 percent. Everyone wanted to have it. But the guys didn't know how to do it. They just said, 'We'll pink it and shrink it.' That doesn't work. Women consumers see right through that. They don't want that."
For Carpenter, understanding her client meant also having that same demographic hold leadership positions within the company. In this manner, Carpenter was able to have her own customers readily available and on staff to provide insights and understanding. According to IDEO, human-centered design is about hearing from your users in their own words, not assuming you know what they want. Carpenter's research found that not only do female snowboarder not want purple robots on their snowboards, but that they approach the sport in a completely different way. Male customers compartmentalize their sports, whereas women view it much more holistically. They were interested in the sport as a lifestyle, which required marketing to tell a completely different story.
Unfortunately, it isn't always possible to partner with your direct client on a permanent basis. However, IDEO recommends that interviews can unlock the same understanding. In their design kit The Field Guide to Human-Centered Design, they stress writing down exactly what the interviewee says, not what you think they might mean. It is also important to observe their body language and surroundings, especially if you have the opportunity to interview them in their home or office. You can learn so much more about a person's mindset, behaviour, and lifestyle by talking to them in their daily surroundings. As with all research, come with an open mind and without preconceived notions. The goal is to design to the actual needs or desires of your client, not your perception of what they are.
Delete it: …It can feel scary to say no, but picking the work you won't do is just as important as picking the work you will do. If a teammate gave you a responsibility that you don't believe is the best use of your time, make sure to let them know that you won't be doing it anymore. Try showing them your pie charts to give them context on why you would like to delete this task, rather than just saying 'no.'
Defer it: If you don't have time now, but will in the future, deferring a responsibility is an excellent option…Setting a reminder makes it easier for you to not feel stressed about the work while it's deferred.
Delegate it: For responsibilities that still need to get done, evaluate if it can be reassigned to another teammate. Delegation works best when you can hand a responsibility over completely — now the teammate you delegated to can own both the 'boring' and cool parts of the project, and can take pride in seeing it through to completion.
Diminish it: When you really want to own a responsibility yourself, you can find ways to reduce the time you spend on the work. You can reduce the scope of the work, for example, only tackling the highest priority pieces. You can also stop working when your output is good, rather than perfect.
There's simply no immunity from the paralyzing procrastination that comes with staring up at daunting tasks, no matter how focused and driven you are. The larger and more intimidating the priority, the more likely you are to conjure up excuses to slow your start. And the more time you spend trying to prioritize things, the less time you actually have to move them forward.
The (desired) byproduct of being good at what you do, is that you'll get more to do. Beyoncé can only sing, dance, and be a boss within the same finite temporal constraints as yours. But even she has to turn things down or hand them off. Then, and only then, can she focus on moving her enterprise forward. No matter the size of the project, when relevant tasks come onto your plate that you simply don't have the capacity for, remember the Four D's: delete, defer, delegate or diminish.

Grab a spoon—it's National Ice Cream Month! It's really no surprise that many of us love to spoil our pets with bits of our tasty summer treats, but pet parents please beware: Ice cream is just one of many summer goodies that could double as serious health hazards to our pets!
Ice cream
Just say no to the cone. One lick or two (no chocolate, please!) is fine, but because pets do not possess significant amounts of lactase—the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk—milk and other milk-based products can cause them diarrhea or other digestive upset.
Chicken Bones
Feeding your pet raw bones may seem like a natural option, but chicken bones splinter easily and can cause choking or may become lodged in your pet's digestive tract.
Potato Chips
Who doesn't like to crunch? While one or two plain chips may not pose a threat, large amounts of salt can produce excessive thirst and urination or even sodium ion poisoning in pets. Signs that your pet may have eaten too many chips include vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, elevated body temperature, seizures and even death. In other words, keep those salty snacks to yourself!
A little sweet, a little tart—and a lot hazardous! Citrus plants contain citric acid, limonin and oils that can cause irritation, and possibly even central nervous system depression, if ingested in significant amounts. Clinical signs of central nervous system depression include vomiting, diarrhea, depression and potential photosensitivity.
Piña Colada
We know they're tasty, but any beveragecontaining alcohol can cause vomiting, diarrhea, decreased coordination, central nervous system depression, difficulty breathing, tremors, abnormal blood acidity, coma and even death in our animals. So please, keep you summer cocktails out of your pet's reach.
Interested in more food hazards? Please visit the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.
I would be mauled if I didn't let my 2 kittens have a lick of my ice cream. The dog sits and waits patiently, but the kitties go nuts when they see it. SO funny!
There's a great alternative to feeding your dog your treats.. Frosty paws its a cold treat found in the ice cream section of most stores.. Comes in different flavors, Our dogs love them!
that is the cutest idea ever! I'll have to try that with my baby girl. she would go crazy for that
My dog loves Frosty Paws... a box of 4 lasts us all summer, but my dog goes nuts when I let him have one, and it keeps him entertained for a few minutes followed by a long, happy nap.
My dogs love frozen applesauce. Cheaper than Frosty Paws and a lot of different flavors.

Current officer
The current and 55th governor is Bobby Jindal, a Republican first elected in 2007.
His wife, Supriya Jolly, is the First Lady of Louisiana.
The state Constitution addresses the office of the governor in Article IV, the Executive Department.
Under Article IV, Section 5(A):
The governor shall be the chief executive officer of the state.
Under Article IV, Section 2, a candidate for governor is required to:
- have attained the age of twenty-five years
- be an elector
- have been a citizen of the United States, and,
- have been a citizen of Louisiana for at least the preceding five years
The term of office of the governor of Louisiana is four years. During her tenure in office, a statewide elected official shall hold no other public office.
Louisiana belongs to the handful of states that hold off-year elections, that is, elections in off-numbered years that are neither Presidential nor midterm years. In Louisiana's case, elections are held in the year after a midterm and before a Presidential; thus, 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the inauguration is always held the second Monday in January after an election. Thus, January 14, 2008 and January 9, 2012 are inaugural days.
- See also: How gubernatorial vacancies are filled
Details of vacancies are addressed under Article IV, Section 14.
When a vacancy occurs in the office of governor, the order of succession shall be:
(1) the elected lieutenant governor,
(2) the elected secretary of state,
(3) the elected attorney general,
(4) the elected treasurer,
(5) the presiding officer of the Senate,
(6) the presiding officer of the House of Representatives, and then
(7) as provided by law.
The successor shall serve the remainder of the term for which the governor was elected.
The governor has the right to grant reprieves, issue pardons, commute sentences, and return fines and forfeitures for crimes against the state. In this role, the governor serves as the court of last resort.
Additionally the governor serves as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the state, except when they are called into service of the federal government. He may call out these forces to preserve law and order, to suppress insurrection, to repel invasion, or in other times of emergency.
At the outset of each regular legislative session, the Governor must give an address to the General Assembly, including the condition of the state and its finances. The Governor may also include recommendations in her address and make such addresses at other times, such as the commencement of an extraordinary session.
The Governor also submits a budget to the legislature and may compel reports from department heads on any matter, save investigations into the governor's office.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- A line item veto
- The power to make appointments, including recess appointments, with Senate confirmation
- Removing, at pleasure, any currently serving appointees
- See also: Comparison of gubernatorial salaries
The governor's pay is set by law, under § 4; changes to pay may not take effect until the commencement of the subsequent gubernatorial term.
As of 2010, the governor of Louisiana is paid $130,000 a year, the 24th highest gubernatorial salary in America.

Other Tips to Keep Your System Running Smoothly
- Ductless mini split air conditioners work best in temperatures between 14°F to 109°F.
- Make sure there is an appropriate place for condensation to run off.
- Keep vegetation, debris, etc. from around the compressor for optimal air-flow (which will also make it easier to clean).
- If you do not keep your compressor reasonably clean, it will overheat, which will lead to a major break-down.
- Lastly, if your remote stops working, first try the reset button, often found at the bottom of the remote. If you are still having problems, contact the manufacturer.
Keep your ductless mini split air conditioner running well for as long as possible by performing regular maintenance. If something goes wrong, take care of it right away to prevent any long-term damage.

Love this helmet. Of course, everyone has a different shaped head, for me, the Giro Xar fits my head perfectly. The only con is the helmet tends to slide around, even if adjusted perfectly. I wear a headband under the helmet to help keep it in place better and it works fine.

Water is a right in France. Water flows freely from the Seine from our taps into our homes and apartments. Wallace Fountains scattered throughout the city provide a flow of complimentary drinking water to all who want it on the streets. And there is a law in France that notes that a café has to give anyone a free carafe of water, or free glass of water (at the bar) to anyone who asks, unless there is a sign posted somewhere that says that they don't do that.
(After ten years of living in France, I've only seen one café – out in the countryside – with a sign like that. But I've also – in ten years of living in France – never tried going up to a café counter and asking for a free glass of water without buying something else.)
Even though Paris is a modern city, a fair number of visitors ask me if the water in Paris is safe to drink. I'm always a little perplexed by that question because it's not like France is a remote island where people don't have plumbing. (Although I've been in restrooms in Paris where the plumbing could use a little work to bring it into this century.) But on the other hand, with waiters pushing bottled water, which of course, costs a bit more than tap water, I guess it's easy to see where people get that impression.

Web Team, it would be great if you could publish the answers as a seperate (but related) post.. so that readers who follow Compassion on Feeds can follow along easily… just a suggestion. =]
I would guess male mosquitos are also carriers.. they just don't bite!
True…"Malaria is transmitted among humans by female mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. Female mosquitoes take blood meals to carry out egg production, and such blood meals are the link between the human and the mosquito hosts in the parasite life cycle." ~ taken from http://www.cdc.gov/malaria/biology/index.htm
True: the infection is only carried by the females.
That is true!
I am going to say false. I don't see why male mosquitoes can't infect people also it's not fair that only the females get to infect with disease!!! 😉
And the answer is …
Only the female Anopheles mosquito can transmit malaria.
(Source: cdc.gov/malaria/faq.htm, November 2008)
is only the female that transmit maleria
Not ladylike at all!

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Keep going like a PRO Pittsburgh GasBuddy! We are all here helping others save on gas and we help even more when we post gas prices each day! Posting regularly each day can help each of us see where the best gas deals are located, it's nice seeing GBs come back to post gas prices as often as they can and it's really a big help to the tens of thousands of GBs and others, especially those that travel! It takes a lot of dedication and persistence to climb the GasBuddy ladder to each level, but thousands of GBs do it each day! Pro GasBuddies average more than 975 points each day, getting to their next level sooner! But 90% or more of new GBs will not make it to their 1st red car (1M points), most of the 8,000,000 GBs quit before they even get close, but keep going, you can do it, you're getting closer each day! Have a nice week! Thanks! Ron

NEW ORLEANS - As the city gets ready to kick off Essence Fest, some big names were already in town Wednesday taking part in a rap concert against violence.
Master P and Mystikal, both New Orleans natives, were among those who performed at a concert Wednesday in Behrman Park.
'We come from these neighborhoods and we realize, you know, what we was able to grow up and change our lives, and we wants to help these kids in the community, all the crime that's happening in New Orleans. We tell kids, stop the violence, put the guns down, pick up a book. Educate yourself,' said Percy 'Master P' Miller.
Local rapper G.I. Peachez knows the impact of violence first hand. Her brother was rapper James Tapp, better known as rapper Soulja Slim. He was murdered in front of his New Orleans home in 2003.
Now, Peachez lives in the same home and raps in his memory.
'Dealing with what I dealt with, if I could help somebody and really change their mind about violence, put down the guns and come together and let's do music and let's enjoy culture and celebration,' said Peachez.
Organizers say a quarter of Wednesday's proceeds will go to the Let the Kids Grow Foundation's HOPE, which is aimed at giving kids positive activities.
It was created by organizer Mike Willis after his son was charged with murder.
'It's not really about my son. It's about all these kids, all these kids,' said Willis.
Willis's son, Kendall Harrison, was 17 when he was charged with murdering Algiers Good Samaritan Mike Ainsworth last year. He remains behind bars awaiting trial.
While Willis believes his son is innocent, he said the arrest inspired him to realize his dream of reaching out to the community to help curb crime.
'We got to take our community back. It's our community. And I don't think nobody is going to take you serious until you show them that you're going to take a stand,' said Willis.
Willis said the Foundation will help support after school activities for youth.

Irvine, California
Irvine is an incorporated city in Orange County, California, United States. It has annexed in the past an undeveloped area to the north, and has also annexed the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, most of which is planned to be converted into the Orange County Great Park.
Because of its good schools, jobs and housing, the city was chosen in 2008 by CNNMoney.com as the fourth best place to live in the United States. In June 2009, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that Irvine had the lowest violent crime rate (four homicides, 17 rapes, 50 robberies and 55 aggravated assaults in 2006) among cities in the United States with populations of more than 100,000, and in August 2008 the Census Bureau ranked Irvine as having the seventh highest median income among cities in the United States with populations of more than 65,000.

Chairwoman Lowey, Ranking Member Granger and distinguished panel members, thank you for the opportunity to testify before you this morning on the United States Agency for International Development's (USAID) activities in Afghanistan. I want to focus my testimony on our civilian efforts related to oversight and accountability of U.S. taxpayer resources in the promotion of good governance in Afghanistan.
Chairman Faleomavaega, Ranking Member Manzullo, and members of the Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific and the Global Environment, on behalf of Administrator Shah and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), thank you for the opportunity to testify on this important and timely topic. I appreciate the leadership on this issue demonstrated by Under Secretary Brainard of the Department of Treasury and Deputy Special Envoy Pershing of the Department of State.
Co-Chair Shays, Co-Chair Thibault, and Commissioners, I thank you for the invitation to join you and my fellow colleagues on this panel today. I am pleased to represent the U.S. Agency for International Development as we explore the question posed by this commission regarding oversight of subcontracts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Good morning, Chairman Payne, Ranking Member Smith, and members of the Subcommittee. I appreciate the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss current conditions in the Great Lakes region and USAID's contributions to sustainable development in those countries.
For five years, we have discussed the roadmap of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and what we are doing to support its milestones. Now that discussion is changing. In eight months, millions of Sudanese will decide their future as a nation. Next year, our current roadmap will end, and our path ahead could go in many different directions.
Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, it is an honor and a privilege to present this testimony to the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. I welcome the opportunity to outline how the United States Agency for International Development is helping to address the challenges faced by indigenous peoples in Colombia, Panama, and Peru and throughout Latin America.
As your leadership has highlighted, food security is one of the highest priorities for U.S. development assistance. Food security ranks as a high development priority not simply because the United States is determined to meet our moral obligation as a great nation. The food security of developing nations is integral to our national security--hunger and poverty perpetuate instability, and food shortages are acutely destabilizing. Developing bodies and developing economies both need steady sustenance to thrive. Food security facilitates stable lives and sturdy, resilient nations. Our comprehensive approach seeks to respond to the staggering scope of the food security problem, a problem that has expanded in size in the past few years, affecting the lives of more than 1.1 billion people who suffer daily from want of this most basic of human need.
I know this is a time of great economic strain for so many Americans. For every dollar we invest, we must show results. That is why this budget supports programs vital to our national interests. The United States must be able to exercise global leadership to respond to crosscurrents of a complex world. This requires the effective use of all instruments of our national security - including development. We agree strongly with President Obama and Secretary Clinton's vision of embracing development as indispensable to American foreign policy and national security. It is through this relentless dedication to results that we do justice to our motto, 'from the American people.' We do this not just by extending a helping hand, but by sharing the hopefulness of the American dream in places where hope remains shrouded by poverty, oppression and despair. In many cases, the balance between a future filled with fear and a future filled with hope is fragile. Every day, USAID tips the scale toward hope and opportunity.
Good morning, Chairman Payne, Ranking Member Smith, and members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today.
Good afternoon, Chairman Payne, Ranking Member Smith, and members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for the opportunity to testify on U.S. development policy in Africa today.

For many pet owners, traveling is great fun, but traveling to a dog friendly destination is even better.
There are some fantastic hotels along the East Coast that are very pet-friendly. They go out of their way to make sure that you and your beloved creature are comfortable and well taken care of. Some of the best pet-friendly hotels, inns, and bed and breakfasts along the East Coast are: the Hotel Marlowe in Boston, the Hotel Helix in Washington D.C., and the Inn by the Sea in Cape Elizabeth Maine.
The Hotel Marlowe is located in Cambridge Massachusetts, five minutes from downtown Boston. The hotel offers complimentary high-speed internet access and wireless internet access. Guests have access to the gym, kayak and bike rentals, morning coffee/tea hour, and evening wine hour, courtesy of the hotel.
"They always have plenty of fresh baked dog treats around," she continued. "In summary, great location, great rooms, fantastic food, and an excellent value!"
The hotel boasts 178 guest rooms complete with complimentary Aveda products. Complimentary WiFi is included throughout the hotel, as well as a complimentary bubbly hour every night. Guests have access to the Helix Lounge, and, during the warmer seasons, the outdoor patio that accompanies it. The hotel provides a spa service and fitness room to those who wish to pamper themselves or continue their exercise routine during their stay.
The Hotel Helix is conveniently located in the crux of downtown D.C. It's a block away from 14th Street, which boats great shopping, and a few minutes away from the metro. The White House, Lincoln Monument, and The Smithsonian Institution, can all be reached by a quick ride on the metro. Check out the Hotel helix at hotelhelix.com.
If you are looking for a great, oceanside, pet-friendly place to stay, then Inn by the Sea, located in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, is an excellent choice. The Inn provides travelers a choice of three different types of accommodations: suites, cottages, or beach houses. Each accommodation comes complete with a view of the ocean, a bathroom, kitchen, living and dining room area.
Now back to treats for little fluffy: a dog DVD to be played should your pet have to spend time in the room alone, a dog lead and dog cologne. This package also makes a $20 donation to the Humane Society in you and your dog's name. Upon arrival your room will include: food bowls, a water bottle, blanket, and towel for the dog.
"Although it is a LONG drive, it is worth it for the excellent restaurant, the upscale but very Maine-ish Cape Elizabeth with its easy access to downtown Portland, and the charming staff who bend over backwards to offer agreeable VCR videos/ DVDs at no charge, cookies before bed, and even a bandana for each of our golden retrievers.
" The boardwalk to the ocean is very pretty and the inn even keeps outdoor showers for humans and pups who are salty, sandy, or want to rinse off in warm weather. We travel lots, but this is our very favorite."

I've had a few people tell me that. Its beer, not sure what people expect, liquid pumpkin pie?
I've had a few people tell me that. Its beer, not sure what people expect, liquid pumpkin pie?
I certainly don't expect liquid pumpkin pie, but the diacetyl taste was so bad that I did end up pouring half the bottle down the drain
I expected something similar to Lagunitas' Brown Shugga with a pumpkin pie spin. Oh well.
Had to have been a bad bottle...
That's one of the only Pumpkin beers that I like. Never any diacetyl flavors in the bottles I've had.
Just yummy graham cracker crust goodness!
Going to grab a bottle of Elysian Pumpkin Stout today. Review to follow if it's any good.
I brought my brother a bottle of Voodoo Maple Bacon Ale to try at a party recently. A few of his friends (drinking Bud) were eager to try it out. They all said "this beer tastes nothing like bacon or donuts. It tastes like beer". Of course it does....its beer!
Also can't wait for Lagunitas' Brown Shugga to release again very soon!
Worst beer I've had in a long time: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/jw-lees...-sherry/34436/
I've never had it fresh, but I had a 2006 bottle yesterday and I have to assume that it just went so very far south. Tasted of raw green bell peppers and other, salty vegetably flavors. I was splitting the bottle with two friends, leaving each of us with only 3oz to drink, but it was a drain pour for all three of us. I want to say it was almost ten dollars for that miserable little 9oz bottle, too. Fortunately, other good beers were had (in order):
Lagunitas Undercover Shut-Down
New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red (split 3 ways)
Southern Tier Jahva (split 3 ways)
Southern Tier Creme Brulee (split 3 ways)
2006 JW Lee's Harvest Sherry (drainpoured 3 ways)
2007 Avery Samael's (split 3 ways)
And, while finishing the Belgian Red and getting ready to pour the Jahva, a glass I was wiping shattered in my hand. Giving me a nasty cut between my thumb and index finger. Pretty gnarly, but it seems to be healing alright. Sucked, because I just bought the damn glass.
EDIT: Oh, and there was a Breakfast Stout in there somewhere, too. Forgot about that one.

fwiw..it wasn't the drought that did in the WI cherries...it was the early warm spring (80's in march), early blossoms, than several hard frosts right afterward that wreaked havoc on our fruit crops. Apples, cherries, etc...all hit hard.
The drought was just an added bonus
I'll have to find that NG beer..sounds interesting.
Hill Farmstead Ann was one of the better ones in the last month.
Imperial Biscotti Break by Evil Twin was really tasty as well.
Ann, Serendipity! You guys are jerks! J/K!!!
Best beer I had recently was Steel Toe Before the Dawn. Huge Barley Wine, aged in Templeton Rye Whiskey Barrels, kicked my butt!
I am assuming some of you folks are on Ratebeer/Beeradvocate?
Ann? Woah. Serious whale right there. Did it live up to the hype?
And, yeah, I'm on RB with the same username. Though, I've never actually rated anything.
Alright so I've been lurking too long on this thread to not post.
Apologies on that front, but here are some of my favorites over the past couple months:
Aged Rogue's Double Chocolate Stout.
Could have given this to kindergartners for a lunchtime snack. Like the best chocolate milk you've never had. It stopped a room of people several high-quality beers in. They are rereleasing this in a couple weeks. I have ordered a case.
This one surprised me. Better than I expected. Not a huge fan of japanese beers.
My Local corner store is basically a local cornercraftbeerstoreemporium.
Small shout out to them: http://www.nathanielsquare.com/
Picked up a 2010 World Wide Stout, properly aged and only cooled for that day. Worth it.
Went to The Local in Saratoga Springs ( http://www.thelocalpubandteahouse.com/ ) and had this Heady-Topper from Alchemist.
Damn good. Hard to find because I guess their place got wrecked in serious flooding a year or two ago. Good to see them coming back strong.
Was in Saratoga Springs for the NAMJam car show, and got to sample one of the guys... wifes family?'s own brews.. I had the Hurricane, but everyone reported back proper deliciousness.
So should you ever find that- get it. Brewed in Kingston NY. Awesome, love NY craft beer. http://www.keeganales.com/
Ignore the business card- I was testing out my little tykes car card holder
But for a light, summer beer that you can sucker your friends into trying, in an effort to prepr them for meaner beers?
Southern Tier's Eurotrash Pils. Bet you can tell why we picked it up. Summer in a bottle. Seasonal.
If you ever get the chance to do Firestone's union Jack on tap- it's great. Way different than the bottle, just smoother and slightly sweeter.
I like licorice and chocolate and coffee.
Never had a better combination. However, we tried this one, aged 18 months. Sadly, i do not recommend it aged. Just got sugary sweet, followed by bitter. Bummer.
Barleywines- I like them, but only when they're really good, haha.
This one knocked it out of the park.
Brothers Reserve BRRRBON actualyl disappointed me.
Hard as hell to get, and just did not do enough. And I am a fan of barrel aged. Good, I'd still say try it if you can find it, but watching a couple of these bottles go for $35-45 is not worth it.
Anywho. I'll stay more current moving forward

Firestone Walker Parabola Imperial Stout...
pretty much makes everything else I have drank prior to it taste like piss AND... it packs a major punch sitting at 12.5%
Mr. Money Mustache - Bing Rewards
2.0 TDI "BHW" engine partout - @tdiclub @vwvortex
Just grabbed a 4pak of the Goose Island Bourbon County Stout.
Store had Clown Shoes for the first time too...so picked up a bottle of Imperial Stout.
Drank this and was actually surprised that I didn't absolutely hate it.
This bottle was about a year old, so maybe age actually helped it out a bit. I don't know.
Earlier today, before the Rogue beer...
One of the best beers out of Arizona, Four Peaks Hop Knot. I'm all for IPAs in cans.

Weyerbacher updated their label this year... same awesome beer.
Wishing I was at GABF, man.
Well, today I went to Bomber's Burrito Bar in Schenectady with Run Dub and had UFO Pumpkin ale served in a cinnamon-sugar rimmed glass. It was glorious.
This though, I am even happier with:
Good, simple red ale. It tastes loud(which is a weird adjective) and is so darn good.
1989 Saab 900 Sedan/1960 Porsche 356B T5/1980 Honda CM400E
BattleRabbit takes Pictures!
I love that stuff. Lakefront Brewery itself is awesome, too: real dingy, old school, piecemeal brewing facilities with a kickass beer hall above it

Had Sweetwater IPA on draft last weekend, has a nice hint on orange and bit of citrus in it. very smooth too, doesn't leave a bitter after taste
had my parents pick me up a 4pk when they were in VT, this stuff is awesome! i wish i could find it locally

Just wondering how many lefties are out there and what type of Driver you all prefer. I'm looking for a new "go-to" driver and am not sure what to try.
I've been playing since 1994 but only recently have began to pay close attention to the type's of disc and the different ratings and so forth and i have to admit i'm a bit green in understanding it all.
My current driver selection is as follows:
172g Champion Orc
172g Champion Sidewinder
174g Elite Z Nuke (have not used it yet)
173g ESP Crush
175g Crush (unsure of plastic, looks like z)

Booting iMac from Firewire
by blocktek - 12/9/12 10:00 AM
I'm really frustrated here:
I'm using a mid-2007 20" iMac. I've always backed up using SuperDuper to clone to a Firewire hard drive. I seem to recall that for the first few years, I had no trouble booting from those backups. At the time, only the most recent machines could boot from USB.
I replaced my Seagate backup drive with a Western Digital drive a few years ago. That drive wouldn't boot via Firewire. It would only boot via USB - a limitation confirmed by WD.
Recently, I upgraded that drive to an OWC Mercury Elite. I'm having exactly the same problem. I pulled a Seagate FreeAgent drive out of mothballs and cloned to it, and though it won't boot fully either, it gets to the Apple logo before being rejected.
Am i mis-remembering booting this machine from Firewire? Is this just a limitation of newer drives? Did I just happen to purchase two drives from different manufacturers with hobbled Firewire?

Comments about Thule Gate Mate Tailgate Pad:
I used to use a tow bar mounted bike rack on my utility vehicle and found that even though I used a lot of tie downs the bikes could still move. Using this gate mate the bikes don't move and are more secure.
The Gate Mate makes it easier to transport bikes that have unusual angles in the frame, where conventional bike racks are hard to make these type of bikes frames fit.
You need to ensure that you order the correct width, the 54" is for small to medium sized pickups and utes.
Once the bikes are on I've found they don't move, if you want to add extra tie downs it's very simple to do.
Will comfortable take 3 bikes at a time and 4 is a push but can be done.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — Cheri Snook was born and raised in Tahoe. The North Tahoe graduate returned to the Lake with her business, Cherie's Hand Dipped Ice Cream, to serve the community gourmet hand-dipped ice cream bars, as she has for 10 years. The business started while living in Alaska and again locally in Nevada City, Calif., her home base for 20 years.
Cheri is also a broadcast producer for KVMR Community Radio in Nevada City. In Tahoe can be heard at 105.1FM. She may have found her voice while working at the Ponderosa Ranch, home of "Bonanza," where she was a tour guide for several years. Cheri was present when they closed the gates.
The hand cart of Tahoe's legendary Tahoe Tesse hot dog cart was semi-remodeled by Rex's Tahoe Creations, adding a vintage look for Cherie's business, a welcome sight regularly at the Gatekeeper's Museum in Tahoe City.
The Tahoe Tesse hot dog cart is well remembered by locals. It rolled out in the late 70s in Kings Beach and has traveled to various places, with its last stop the Tahoe City Downtown Association.
Cheri had a vision to transform the cart into a dipping station. She now uses it to freshly dip ice cream bars into chocolate and toppings. Customers return again and again to find the Tahoe specialty ice cream bar. Children jump for joy while parents and friends alike appreciate their Tahoe memory with Cheri's Ice Cream.
She began serving to Tahoe at various venues and events, Truckee Amphitheater concerts, the Squaw Valley Northern Lights Store (now owned by Allen Aastrom serving from High Camp in the summer), Concerts at Commons Beach, Truckee Thursdays and the Sugar Pine Point State Park Living History Day.
Last year in her trek with the John Olmsted Family, through death and triumph on the quest to save the 70 California State Parks slated to close, she assisted the parks in selling her ice cream bars to help support Save Our State Parks. She was invited to serve at the Gatekeeper's Museum this summer. Your purchase is not only a delicious treat, it helps in part to Save Our State Parks.
Last year, Tahoe alone consumed nearly 15,000 pounds of the ice cream, and 800 pounds of chocolate.
Cherie's Ice Cream is freshly made from a creamery in Oregon with a higher butter fat that will hold and freeze with taste and presentation quality.
The chocolate is Guittards fine French dark chocolate. High Sierra white toppings are organic, chocolate cookies are Trader Joe's Jo Jo's! (no hydrogenated oils).
Annual locations are Sundays at the Concerts at Commons Beach, Truckee Thursdays and Living History Day at Sugar Pine Point State Park, July 28.
Also find Cherie's at the KMVR Celtic Festival, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, the San Francisco Oysterfest, Michael Franti's Power to the Peaceful and the Ridgestock music and sustainability expo.
Cheri's Hand Dipped Ice Cream is located in Nevada City and Tahoma at Lake Tahoe. For information email email@example.com.

Comments about Panaracer Cedric Gracia 29" Folding Tire:
Just have a few rides on this tire as a rear while using a Maxxis Ardent on the front but so far it's really hooking up on the loose, rocky trails of central Texas. also notice that in sandy turns, it's really tracking well, especially compared to the Ardent.
Best Uses
Comments about Panaracer Cedric Gracia 29" Folding Tire:
I run these when the short knobs of my Ikons just won't cut it, typically when things get a bit loose. They seem to be a decent alternative to the Rampage, where you might want more lateral grip and faster rolling in hardpack terrain. Basically, a step up from a fast racy XC tire, to a more aggressive XC/trail tire, where the Rampage is more of an all-rounder for trail/AM.
They're my tires of choice for Big Bear, where there's there's only a few climbs and some pedally flat sections, but the DHs have been really been beat up to the point that the trail is just 1"-3" of deep coarse powder. I also ran them in Mammoth with great success. In fast chunky trails, where my tires are often skimming the ground, I found them to offer more control than my Ikons.
Where they really shine is on off-cambers. Going back to my Ikons, I still get a bit tense and have my eyes hang on any sideways sloped edge, from ruts, to off camber turns. I really need to get my body involved to keep the bike together and on a good line around those. With the CG XC tires, you pretty much have no worries and can just use the entire trail to your liking, even if it's covered with ruts & off cambers, with rocks & roots, and/or with loose soil. It has controlled braking and good tracking, but traction on dry desert hardpack climbs is only average, as it relies on the friction of the flat tops of the knobs for grip rather than working edges, which isn't so great for any steeps that I like to challenge, as the decomposed granite likes to break loose and act like mini ball bearings between the flat tops and solid ground. Tubeless conversion was easy on Stan's Flow rims, likely due to the quality bead with rubber coating over it. It doesn't seem to like pressures under 30psi (2.0 bar) and gets squirmy, but it inflates rather wide, closer to other mfg's 2.4 tires.
My favorite tires are still my Ikons, but these are my second favorite. With Ikons, I can skill my way around off cambers and chunky sections, but there's nothing much I can do in the deeper loose stuff, as they simply don't steer at all. They are faster and make my ride more fun, as it still leaves me a decent challenge for my skill to handle. Letting equipment handle it all would make things dull, though I understand that loss of grip = crashes for many and that alone justifies grippier tires. Crashing in Big Bear actually led me to buy these tires.
