Pune: As per surveys by several industrial bodies, it has been observed that Indian engineers are not employable, since there is a huge gap between the industry expectations and the students' learning.
On this note, AD Sahasrabudhe, Director of College of Engineering, Pune (CoEP) has stressed on the point of how necessary it is to build soft skills, life skills, commitment and ethics in students which will enable them to settle faster in the corporate world and demonstrate enhanced productivity. He was speaking at the convocation function of the first batch of CoEP's Energised Accelerated Growth and Leadership Excellence (EAGLE) programme, held on May 9, at college's city campus. Over 681 students were awarded completion certificates for participating in the programme.
An innovative programme, EAGLE was launched in August 2013 by CoEP, in association with the Hermitage Group. Sahasrabudhe said that CoEP is the first institute in the country to launch such programme. "In order to bridge the huge gap between the industry expectation and the students learning, it is necessary to have such programme in the country. It is an effort to address joint needs of industry, academic institutions and student world," he said.
Sahasrabudhe added that the institute will make few changes in the programme including starting it from second year of BTech and complete it by third year so that students aren't overloaded with the academic and non-academic activities. The institute is also planning to help other institutes to further the EAGLE programme.
As part of the EAGLE programme, vocational guidance for students gives them exposure to careers beyond engineering and building understanding of their own capabilities as matched with their likes and leanings.
About EAGLE:
EAGLE is a 10-month long active engagement programme with students of third year to build soft skills, life skills, commitment, ethics and to be useful to the society. There is close interaction with industry, wherein the industry is involved in programme design, interaction with students, provide feedbacks and expert speeches.

This tropical Bali dream house, located in Padanggalak, 3 miles north of Sanur, is what my husband Mel and I like to call our 'third child' (we also have 2 boys). Building on our cross-cultural marriage, we chose to blend the open-air feel and tropical materials of Mel's native Java with the exposed wood, open floor plan, and cathedral ceilings of the old barns of my native rural Massachusetts.
Before building, we'd spent years living in rented houses in Bali, so we were very clear what we did not want. We wanted to avoid the sort of villa you see all over the island that is built to look romantic - open-air, no doors, thatched roofed - but is in fact very impractical. Coming from New England where the winters are so rough, I'd always thought of the tropics as gentle, but those houses taught me that a tropical climate has its own hazards: bugs, dust, mosquitoes, ants, mold, gecko's, smoke from burning fields, and a very fast pace of decay. In the open houses, we couldn't keep nature out because there was no way to close in the space. Mosquitoes were abundant, the thatch would shed and smell, and the geckos living in the thatch would contribute their own fall-out. We'd essentially spent a good part of each day just sweeping up!
Armed with a concept and a list of things to avoid, we chose Balinese architect Ketut Arthana. Internationally recognized, Ketut has a reputation for optimizing and managing space. He instantly understood what we wanted. He set the ceilings high, like a barn's, but added variety to the roof-line by slightly lowering the kitchen roof and using the typically Balinese cross-hatched exposed rafters. He wasn't afraid to recommend tile over thatch for its strength, quality and ease of maintenance, and we found that by lining the under-side of the tile with basket-colored woven rattan, we were able to achieve the same soft, natural effect from inside as you get with thatch, but without the problems. Ketut placed giant sliding glass doors and windows around the perimeters of the entire house, offering light and an open-air feel during the day, but with the option of shutting out the bugs, wind, water and dust at night and during storms. Above these doors, Ketut added a ring of slim rectangular windows for ventilation and style.
Once complete, Ketut handed the drawings over and we took charge. Mel oversaw the building process, and I made interior design decisions. Rather than focusing on making the house fit into a category (rustic, modern, contemporary…), I just did what I found beautiful. The result is a mix of many influences, including primitive and modern, old and new, raw and finished. I brought my love of Mexican color into my paint choices, and my appreciation for Shaker simplicity into my choice of old, strong, and simple wood furniture. I was very relieved when, in the end, it did in fact all come together.
Color is a major theme. The main living space has a soft cream terrazzo floor contrasting with two bold papaya-orange walls and another sailor blue wall. The ventilation windows hold circular coins of colored glass framed in teak, giving a warmth and funky flare to the entire space.The kitchen and bedroom floors are richly colored in traditional Dutch-style cement tiles. More color flows through the deep-set, vertical red, blue, green and yellow stained-glass windows along the stairs.
In contrast to the bright colors, raw materials ground the house in the natural and neutral, creating what architect Yew Kwan famously described as 'high-style primitive.' Raw teak trees frame the kitchen space and serve as pillars on the terrace; Y-shaped stripped coffee balusters and teak banisters form the railings along the stairs and balcony; large slate plates ringed with marble stones to form a mosaic on the master bathroom wall; and worn gray river stones provide drainage where house meets land. A whimsical stone mosaic of tropical animals skirts the verandah.
Outside, the property is ringed with a mustard-yellow fence overflowing with pink, purple and yellow bougainvillea. Verdant gardens border the walls. A rice-terraced-shaped pool fills one corner, while lush mango, palm and Frangipani trees create umbrellas against the sun. Ocean breezes blow in from the east, cooling the land and house, even in the hottest season.
And you can see the ocean from the house! That third floor room wasn't in the drawings, but one day, Mel was up on the rafters and he realized that from up there we could see the sea. We learned that it wouldn't cost much to raise up the roof and add an extra room, so we just did it. That room is a retreat, way up high, for meditation, yoga or writing - a place to be alone, or for young kids to play.
In 2006, Mel and I made the decision to move back to the US after living in our house for only a few years. We were at a cross-roads professionally, and we wanted our kids to be educated in the US. We have been renting the house out since then, but we return every year with our boys for a month to repair and spruce up the house and, of course, to enjoy it ourselves.
One renter described the house this way: "This house has a warmth and grace and artistry to it, but it is also a very livable house, peaceful and soothing, also fabulous for entertaining, and very convenient to Sanur, Denpasar and Ubud. 'Many happy memories were made in that house and we want to return again if we can."
Keywords: Convenient, close to beach, close to Sanur & Denpasar & Ubud, maid and gardener included, breakfast and one meal cooked daily, wi-fi internet connection, convenient 24-hr taxi service, artistic, soul-filling, spacious, breezy, cool, practical, oasis, fully equipped house, warm, open, kid-friendly, comfortable
Mel grew up in east Java. I grew up in western Massachusetts. We met when I was teaching ESL as a volunteer at an Academy of Foreign Languages in Jember, east Java, and Mel was my student. I was 24 and Mel was 21. We have lived together in Boston, Bali and now the Berkshires in western MA. We have two boys, Zephyr and Kaylo. We make our living selling silver jewelry that Anni designs, all made in Bali.
Anni Crofut purchased this house in 2004
As I mentioned in the description, we built this house for ourselves. We never intended to rent it while we were building it. We chose the area because it is so convenient, while still quiet, and because the 'banjar' system in this village is not so strong, which makes it friendlier (less obligations, rules and restrictions) to non-Balinese, and as Mel is Javanese and I am American, this suits us.
Wati, our lovely friend & maid, lives nearby & works full-time at the house. Wati will do your laundry (no ironing), make your beds every day, wash towels & linens once/week, & keep the house clean. She is available to prepare breakfast every morning: coffee, tea, fruit, toast, pancakes, yogurt, fried bananas &/or French toast. Wati is also an excellent Javanese cook. She is available to cook EITHER lunch or dinner for you for a small additional cooking fee (paid directly to Wati) & all food costs at tenants' expense. Food shopping is tenants' responsibility. Our policy is that Wati is not permitted to cook more than 1 main meal/day so as not to take her away from her other responsibilities. IF for some reason you wish to hire Wati to cook after her working hours (5 pm Monday - Sat), this is fine so long as Wati agrees & you pay her independently for her additional time & service. Sis, our gardener & grounds keeper, is Wati's brother. He is a wonderful man and also very kind. He also lives nearby & works full time at the house. Sis cleans the pool & tends to the gardens, lawn, buildings & property.
We were two couple looking for some extra space for our stay in Bali. The house was lovely and there was lots of private space throughout the house. The garden was peaceful and we ended up having our private wedding ceremony there. It was a good alternative to a beach wedding. We also enjoyed the pool to cool down in and Wati the housekeeper was a lot of help with taxis and our all our questions.
Myself, husband and 3 children (15, 13 & 7) stayed at the house for 8 nights. It was nothing less than perfect. The house had all the space we required and more. Photos show exactly how inviting this home is. I call it 'home' because that is the feel you get from the moment you step inside the front gate. The grounds were meticulously manicured and the entire home was extremely clean. The staff where very accommodating and helpful. We had such a wonderful time at the home. Highly recommend this home to anyone travelling to Bali - all ages!
We've stayed in places all over the world and this was by far the nicest place we've ever rented. The pics, descriptions and other reviews say it well. And you're close enough to all the sights and attractions of Bali but removed from some of the craziness. And you get at least a little taste of life outside the tourist zone by roaming the residential streets where the villa is.
For those who worry about such things, we weren't the least bit concerned about safety--even with our 2 beautiful teenage daughters along. And once you figure out how to book taxis etc., it's very easy to come and go.
By all means, take up the chance to have Wati (the housekeeper etc.) cook some local food for you. The meals she prepared were definitely the best we had all week. Many of the restaurants in the tourist ghetto serve the same things with the spice levels pulled way back. The food Wati prepared was amazing! We can't recommend highly enough booking the Bali tropical house for a wonderful respite in this beautiful part of the world!
Best of all are the many sitting areas where you're serenaded with the sounds of tropical birds, the crowing roosters, and sights of the ocean from the top floor studio. This is truly an oasis.
Cette maison nous a comblé. L'ensemble de cette villa est très bien agencé, elle dispose d'un coin de vie spacieux avec une vue sur le jardin paysagé qui vous donne l'impression d'être a la fois dehors et dedans!
Les deux suites des parents sont décorées avec beaucoup de gout.
La villa est située a deux pas de Sanur dans un quartier résidentiel très calme.
Wati est la personne qui s'occupe de l'intendance. Sa discrétion et ses talents culinaires nous ont permis de découvrir des plats(spécialités indonésiennes) qui ont fait frétiller nos papilles...encore merci wati!
Si je devais donner une adresse a des amis proches se serait sans hésiter celle là!
We've spent one week in this lovely villa! All was perfect.
Thank you to anni and mel.
Four of us - 2 mothers and 2 adult daughters - stayed here for 2 weeks. We could not have asked for a better introduction to Bali. The owners were very responsive to all my questions and concerns about the property when I was still trying to decide where to stay. The house itself is beautiful and very comfortable. A huge bonus is their lovely housekeeper, Wati, who keeps everything spotless and is a wonderful cook as well and Sis, the gardener, who unobtrusively keeps the garden and pool beautiful and, who I suspect does a number of other things to keep everything working and comfortable.
My one concern, the fact that the house was not within walking distance of the beach or even much in the way of restaurants and shops, turned out to be a non-issue. When I was there I checked out a few of the other properties I had considered renting that were on the beach in Sanur. I came to the conclusion that my choice to stay in Anni and Mel's house had been a very wise decision. The beach houses were in noisy, crowded areas that weren't very pleasant. Besides, transportation (taxis, and/or a car and driver for longer excursions) to and from every place we wanted to go was quick easy and very inexpensive. And, the best part is that when we got back in the evening, there was a lovely garden and pool waiting for us as well as a delicious supper!
We were very happy and would recommend this house to anyone. We would love to go back ourselves!
We stayed in this house for 5 weeks and we loved our stay. The house is absolutely adoreable. It is beautiful, peaceful and very personal. We were two small swedish families (one baby each) that stayed in the house. It is easy to share the house with another couple or small family because it is two big separate bedrooms with two bathrooms each. There is also an extra room for older kids and an open area to hang out together in. The house is perfect for young kids. The garden is beautiful with a lovely swimmingpool. The house itself is very balinese and feels genuine. Wati, our housekeeper was brilliant, she was so good with the babies and she made our stay unforgetable. Her food is a must to try. She cooked javanese food for us every day and it was even better than in restaurants. The owner was very flexible and helpful before our arrival and during our stay. We went travelling for three months in Asia and this was the higlight of our vacation. Stay there! And say hello to Wati from us. You will love this place!
Nestled away from the buzz of traffic and activity, this serene house is welcoming for families, couples or individuals seeking to surround themselves with beauty, comfort, privacy, artistic design and exceptional service. The house is conveniently located only minutes drive from Sanur (a well-established family friendly resort area with shopping and restaurants), only a half-hour drive from Ubud (the cultural center of Bali), and far enough but not too far from the heart of Denpasar (Bali's capital city with its travel agencies, banks, department stores and government offices). Sanur offers a large number of international standard restaurants, entertainment, great shopping and white sand beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see. Also, the house is very close to Padang Galak beach, a black sand beach offering surfers excellent waves. The airport is 35 min drive, depending on traffic.

So I was looking at some future games that I want and was wondering, "Hey I wonder if these company's know what we want in collectors edition of games and know if we want them." So here are the 5 games I would like to see get collector's editions and what I would like to see in them.
1)The Last Guardian
This is a game that Sony can make a limited amount of collector's editions and know that fans would buy them up. Some of the things that I would personally would love to see in this collectors edition would be:
-100+ page Artbook
-Games Official Soundtrack
-Team ICO HD Collection (cant hurt right?!)
2)DMC: Devil May Cry
As much hate as this game is getting it couldn't hurt for Capcom to make some nifty collector's edition for the new DMC. And I got a few ideas that would hit the sweet spot.
-Making of DMC: Devil May Cry
-Special Movie: Evolution of Devil May Cry and Dante. (all games not just the new one... and make it nice and long.)
3)The Last of Us
I can only speculate what this game could be about apart from what we already know about it but I think I got a few things that fans of Naughty Dog wouldn't mind.
-The Last of Us: Prelude to the Apocalypse Movie (you know live action shorts about what happened before the game.)
-T-Shirt with "The Last of Us" logo in the front and the Naughty Dog logo in the back.
-Poster of the game.
-Special Case (Steel book etc.)
4)Hitman: Absolution
Come now. Who is not looking forward to this game. With the original assassin coming back next year he needs a cool collectors edition yea?
-Real life (wearable) gloves worn by Agent 46.
-Steelbook Case (I like these so what?)
-Hitman: Entering Next Gen Making of Blu-ray/DVD
5)Final Fantasy Versus XIII
If you have read my blogs before than you knew that this was coming. I have been waiting for this game forever and have never been disappointed by a game directed by Tetsuya Nomura. So I very much look forward to this game along with many others. If Square Enix had any business sense than they would make a collectors edition for Versus XIII. Here's what I would like in Versus XIII collectors edition:
-100+ page Concept Artbook
-Making of Final Fantasy Versus XIII Blu-ray(as long if not longer than the making of for MGS4. Remember that one? It was epic!)
-Final Fantasy Versus XIII Official Soundtrack
-Movie: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete (since the game is being made by the same people.)
-Special Final Fantasy Versus XIII Dynamic Theme and Avatar(s)
That's it for this blog. Tell me what games you guys would like to see get collector editions' and do you think they should make collector editions' for the games above. Should they have the things I mentioned above? Comment below to voice your opinion. PshycoNinja out.

Recently it has been said that an increase in ticket prices will cause Los Angeles Kings season ticket holders to pursue other options as a means to watch hockey come the 2012-13 NHL season.
This is not an attack on anyone voicing a complaint over the rise in cost, but instead a look at a different point of view, if you will.
Year after year, Kings fans are close to desperate to have the front office acquire the top free agent of his class, most recently Ilya Kovalchuk, who spurned Los Angeles for a deal in New Jersey worth $100 million over 15 years.
But even with the Kings being in the second largest media network in America, hockey is not the biggest draw of the city, and though statistics show Staples Center sold out most nights the Kings are hosting, seats are still left cold for the next event.
This is where it gets interesting.
Right now, the Kings offense is lethargic, and Jonathan Quick has been nothing short of spectacular in goal all season.
With Dustin Penner and Jarrett Stoll becoming free agents, the Kings have $7.85 million coming off the books this summer.
That may be good for a one-year deal, but that short-term contracts are not something the Kings seem comfortable doing with a player they want to hang onto for 3-4 years.
The Kings need a few more million, and a raise in ticket prices looks to be the answer to acquiring that top-tier free agent to answer the offensive questions in Los Angeles.
How else can you explain a team that hasn't raised a banner in nearly 20 years and calls its fan base on of the best in hockey, raise its prices 23 percent in some of its higher-end seats?
And while the trade deadline is approaching, the Kings may look to make a move for, oh, let's say Rick Nash.
Nash currently plays for the Columbus Blue Jackets, and is signed through the 2017-18 season. He signed an eight-year extension in 2010-11 for $62.4 million - $7.8 million a year.
With that said, and Nash being one of the league's top offensive players, it appears as if the Kings know what they must do in order to compete for the franchises first Stanley Cup Championship, and first appearance since 1992-93.
Nash has 18 goals and 21 assists in 57 games, and Anze Kopitar leads the Kings with 17, who rank last in the league in offense at 2.11 goals per game.
Offense is much needed at Staples Center, and while it appears the Clippers are the only team providing that so far in 2012, the Kings can only hope a trade falls their way, as it did with Chris Paul, and an offensive resurgence along with it.
Here is the link to the article I am refering to: http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-kings-ticket-prices-20120215,0,3280322.story

Countdown to Saturday's deadline on ArcelorMittal plant in Florange has begun
Following President Francois Hollande's face-off with steel baron Lakshmi Mittal in Paris on Tuesday, the countdown to Saturday's deadline that will seal the fate of the ArcelorMittal steel plant at Florange in northeastern France has begun.
Details emerging from the meeting indicate that the discussions were tense and that Mr. Hollande brandished the threat of nationalisation against Mr. Mittal.
The crux of the matter is: A part of the activity at the Florange plant is not profitable and Mr. Mittal has shut down the factory's blast furnaces in response to a global slump in the demand for steel. Of Florange's 2,800 workers, 630 have been affected by this closure. In a bid to save the 630 jobs, the French government is asking Mr. Mittal to sell off the plant to another buyer willing to re-start the furnaces. But Mr. Mittal is unwilling to sell off the profitable side of the business and there are no takers for the gigantic furnaces alone. The government has now threatened to nationalise the plant to resell it to the right buyer. Mr. Mittal has resisted. Who will blink first?
Informed sources said Mr. Mittal was willing to make a minor concession, throwing in the profitable coking plant in the vast, sprawling complex of Florange to make a possible buyout more attractive to a prospective customer. But he is not willing to make too many concessions and has threatened to pull out of France altogether. ArcelorMittal employs some 20,000 persons in over 50 sites in the country.
As the countdown to Saturday began, workers from various ArcelorMittal plants began arriving in Paris to stage a sit-in outside the French Parliament. "We are determined to camp here until there is a resolution to the problem. We get the feeling both sides are playing hide and seek, cat and mouse with us, and the workers now want concrete answers," Eduard Martin of the CFDT trade union told The Hindu.
Mr. Mittal is being painted by Minister for Industrial Renewal Arnaud Montebourg as a liar, blackmailer and a predator. His mantra is taken up by the workers who are determined to keep their jobs. Mr. Mittal has been anything but an ideal boss — he was fined over € 300 million (nearly Rs. 2,000 crore) by the French competition authority for price fixing and by labour courts for violation of workers' rights on at least 10 occasions. The fines for violating workers' rights range from €1000 to €30,000, to individual workers go up to € 475000 in damages to various trade unions.
That said, the situation is not easy for Mr. Mittal. "We all know that steel is a notoriously volatile commodity. We see highs and slumps all the time. You only have to look at the economic slowdown in Europe and the slowing construction demand in China and India to realise that there is over capacity and job cuts and closures are inevitable," steel industry executive Olivier Chevallier told The Hindu. "Arcelor in France was already sick when Mr. Mittal took over the company in 2006. It surprises me not at all that the company is facing trouble, not just in France, but across Europe, and that the furnaces have closed. The French government has to do make the right noises and it can threaten all it likes. But Mr. Mittal is after all a businessman who will follow the logic of the market. He is not a charity and the government cannot expect him to act like one," Mr. Chevallier said.
In 2007-08, just before the economic downturn began, financial indicators were going up and up. The Spanish construction boom was in full swing and ArcelorMittal reported an operating profit of nearly €10 billion. The situation is dramatically different now. Income in the last quarter fell to less than €1 billion with sales down over 10 per cent. China has become a net exporter of steel and now gobbles up over half the supply of iron ore. The prices of raw material that go into steel production have skyrocketed while the demand for steel has slumped. The arithmetic is not difficult to understand.
Starting with the recession in 2009 the company has received setbacks and ArcelorMittal has severely curtailed production in Europe and America with more cutbacks in the pipeline. Europe is home to nearly 1,00,000 of the company's 2,60,000 employees. So the possibility of good news in France is difficult to envisage.
ArcelorMittal's share price has fallen steeply since 2008, reducing the value of the Mittal family's controlling stake of 40 per cent to $9 billion from an estimated $55 billion in 2008.
"The benchmark price of European steel in 2008 was about €850 ($1,030 at Wednesday's exchange rates) a metric ton. That price has dropped to around € 560," commodities trader Marc Cohen told The Hindu. "Of course, companies like to keep a tight control over inventories and when they see falling prices they no longer want to stock up on materials, preferring to do spot buying when there is a glut in the market. It is, therefore, difficult for Mr. Mittal today to predict sales or to chart out a clear strategy for the months ahead," he said.
Mr. Mittal's situation is, therefore, not as simple or black and white as Mr. Montebourg makes out. Mr. Mittal has repeatedly said he wants to keep his plants in France and Belgium going. But he is going to cut back on the sick units. And the blast furnaces at Florange are amongst those.
Mr. Mittal would like to cut wages and have greater flexibility in hiring and firing — laying off workers or cutting salaries during a slump. But that is not permissible under France's tough labour laws that guarantee worker protection. Clearly, this imbroglio is gong to be a protracted and difficult problem to resolve.

If the beer mats are laminated, doesn't that make them useless for their primary function. They're used to mop up split beer and absorb the dribbles of condensation that run down the side of a glass on a hot day.
Surely this is a coaster to protect your veneered table top from damage by the hot beverages, which is fine if you are drinking a nice cup of tea.

REDDING – U.S. standout Megan Rapinoe no longer plays soccer in the shadows, on fields tucked between rivers and streams and the lush, rolling hills of her hometown. Though a major celebrity in this Sacramento Valley city for a decade or more, with her exceptional skills apparent since her early teens, she is enjoying the more recent burst of fame generated by those recurring, emotion-stained images from the 2011 World Cup.
For those who might have forgotten – and women's soccer routinely is ignored until the calendar assists with an Olympics or another World Cup – Rapinoe is the USA's 5-foot-7, 133-pound package of dynamite. She is the midfielder with the distinctive bottle-blonde short hair, the deceptively long, lean physique and the wild streak that makes her exceedingly dangerous to opponents.
She can strike from anywhere. She will say what she thinks.
In the tense, waning seconds of the Cup quarterfinals last July against Brazil, it was Rapinoe who delivered the cross to Abby Wambach, setting up the tying goal before the U.S. team won on penalty kicks and introducing herself to many in the viewing audience – to those baseball, basketball and football traditionalists – back home.
A year later she's back, preparing for her first Olympics. She's still not a wallflower. While anticipating extensive media coverage for the women's opener July 25 in Glasgow, Scotland, Rapinoe last week confirmed what most of her friends and family have long known: that she is gay.
"It's sort of stating the obvious," she said after revealing her sexuality in the latest edition of Out magazine, "but I felt it was important. I want people to know who I am, and that I'm proud of who I am. I'd like to think we're in a time now where everyone is much more accepting."
Based on the numbers alone, her decision took courage. There are plenty of prominent gay athletes in amateur and professional sports, but few who are willing to openly acknowledge their homosexuality. Rapinoe, 27, insists she's ready for the reaction – it's all been positive thus far, she said – and besides, she's no stranger to warm climates. Redding is broiling on an off-day.
"Part of what makes Megan so wonderful, and why people are drawn to her, is that she's independent," said Megan's twin sister, Rachael. "She's definitely her own person, and I think she wanted to pave the way for other elite athletes."
Elk Grove roots
The youngest of Jim and Denise Rapinoe's five children grew up on a 3-acre spread about 10 miles from downtown Redding. According to Denise, a waitress at Jack's Grill for the past 24 years, the girls were all about sports, all the time.
To reduce the drive time to basketball games, track meets and school activities as the twins neared their teens, the Rapinoes moved into a suburban, three-bedroom home closer to town. But soccer was an entirely different matter. Soccer sucked up gasoline like a 1980s SUV.
For three consecutive years – every Tuesday – Denise picked the girls up from Redding's Foothill High School and made the 2 1/2-hour commute down Interstate 5 so they could compete for the elite club team Elk Grove Pride.
"They would do their homework in the car," Denise recalled, with a chuckle, "but there would be occasional grumbling. Remember, this was before computers and cellphones became so big. Then when we got there, they never wanted to leave. We wouldn't get home until 11 o'clock."
Under longtime Sacramento-area coach Danny Cruz, the twins quickly emerged as major prospects, with complementary skills.
"Rachael would run you over, back up, then run you over again," Cruz said. "Megan was creative, crafty, doing stuff you just didn't see 16-year-olds doing. She knew how to beat a player, get around a player. During games they were great together, intuitively playing off each other. Before games and during warmups they would yell at each other, screaming, 'Why didn't you toss me the ball? Why did you do that?' It was hilarious."
Their club success led to scholarship offers from several major college programs, including Santa Clara, UCLA and North Carolina. Partly because of their affinity for smaller towns, they attended NCAA champion University of Portland as a package deal. The bond between the sisters extends further still: both tore their left anterior cruciate ligaments in college, twice.
Megan, who was hurt during her sophomore and junior seasons, missed out on the 2007 World Cup and 2008 Olympics.
"That was really hard," she said recently, during a conversation in the dining room of her family home, "but there was no sense feeling sorry for myself. I still had a long time left to play at Portland, and the league (the now-defunct Women's Professional Soccer) came back just in time for me to graduate and transition to the national team."
Rapinoe's sense of timing was exquisite, in fact. On a national team last summer that included Elk Grove's Stephanie Cox, Rapinoe, a reserve until the finale against Japan, became a fixture on the nightly highlights. Partly it was the hair, that spiked style and bleach-blond tone. Partly it was her engaging personality; she knows how to deliver a sound bite. But mostly it was her creativity and superb footwork, and that infectious, ferocious demeanor epitomized during the spectacular, tournament-saving sequence with Wambach.
"I was at a pub in London," said Rachael, "and there were about three of us watching the game (USA-Brazil). When Abby scored (on a header), I screamed and jumped into the arms of some guy sitting next to me. We just looked at each other. Then we introduced ourselves. It was the greatest soccer moment I ever witnessed."
A star comes home
The Rapinoes don't plan to miss any of the action later this month in Scotland and England, and by all counts, there will be many of them in the stands. Denise and Jim, an independent contractor, share their home with Jim's father, John. Denise's 11-year-old nephew, Austin, also lives with the family.
"Four generations under one roof!" said Denise, beaming.
Right now, though, Megan is the star. After a lively conversation that included her parents and grandfather, and was accented by Denise's considerable cooking talents – with sausage-and-pepper sandwiches served on white rolls – the younger of the twins (by 11 minutes) eased over to the dining room table while everyone else tactfully departed.
Rapinoe is home for only a few days. A final training session with the national team awaits.
Asked about being moved into coach Pia Sundhage's starting lineup, she grinned and leaned forward, visibly pleased. The competition is intense, with expectations for the Games heightened by the most recent World Cup and the presence of veterans Wambach, Alex Morgan, Amy Rodriguez, Shannon Boxx and goalie Hope Solo, among others.
"Last summer was unbelievable, incredible," said Rapinoe. "The venues it was Europe. The crowds were great, and not just for the biggest team. But this will be my (first) Olympics, so obviously it's extremely exciting."
The folks in Redding don't disagree. All eyes will be on Rapinoe, who is regarded warmly in the community. Residents talk about her humility and friendliness during chance meetings at stores and restaurants. She earns bonus points for working out at the downtown YMCA instead of pricey fitness centers during visits. And while the reaction to her recent disclosure about her sexuality remains unclear, she is hopeful that some things won't change.
At Jack's Grill, for instance, Rapinoe is still the beloved Megan. The wall behind the bar features a large banner promoting women's soccer and the upcoming Olympics. A poster of Rapinoe preparing to strike a ball is prominently displayed. While Denise tended to a handful of customers late one recent afternoon, co-owner/bartender Mike Woodrum nodded toward the Giants-Nationals game showing on the flat-screen television.
"I can't say Megan is my daughter," said Woodrum, "but she's family. We pre-empt the Giants for her."

Mike Benkovich from http://benkotips.com and my fellow C# QA team member Eric Maino have talked me into doing a webcast on Visual Studio Tips & Tricks. Mike was the host, and Eric and I were showing VS features that we like and use often in our day-to-day coding.
Here's a list of tips that Eric and I were showing:
And here's the webcast itself:
Hope you like it!
Is there a way to see the webcast now? Has it been stored somewhere?
Yup, just go to https://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032396810&EventCategory=4&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US, click Register, sign in, click through some other buttons, and you will have an option to either download or watch online :) Super easy :)))))
How freaking painfully many actions I need to take to watch it without LiveID. First - sign up for LiveID, fill in a bunch of mandatory textboxes, then sign up for the event... Moreover, the webcast is encoded in some hideous MS-style format and doesn't work in Firefox. Why the security? Can't it have been done Youtube-style? Click the link - watch the video in flash. Or Silverlight.
MSDN reminds me of Soviet Bureaucracy sometimes :)
And it doesn't notify me of answers here by email even after I have signed up %)
Sorry man :)
Nevermind, I've always hated MSDN for that. It has just frustrated me once more.
The webcast itself is nice :) Shame projects from old versions of VS often have troubles being compatible with new versions. And shame I mostly write in C :)

Alternatively, you may take a bus to Ciudad Quesada (San Carlos) where you can transfer to a bus heading to La Fortuna. there are 9 buses to Ciudad Quesada, where there are 12 buses from CQ to La Fortuna. Journey lasts 4 hours with direct and a little longer with transfer. Fare is about $5.
From San Ramón: four daily buses at 6 am, 9 am, 12:30 pm and 4 pm, 2 hours.
From Tilarán: two daily buses at 7 am and 12:30 pm. Auto-Transportes Tilarán company. Tel. 2222-3854
From San Jose, there are several options. 1) Take highway 1 west towards SAN RAMÓN, then head north on rt 156 (Calle 1) to the end, turning left and then right onto the first street. This is Rt 703, which will take you to rt 702 all the way to LA FORTUNA.
2) Take highway 1 west towards Highway 3, and head into ALAJUELA. Continue on Hwy 3, where it becomes Rt 125. Rt 125 joins Rt 126, and take 126 until SAN MIGUEL where you take the left at rt 140 until AGUAS ZARCAS. Right at Rt 250 which will continue as Rt 751 and then Hwy 4. Hwy 4 will take you to Rt 142 which goes to LA FORTUNA.
Hot springs[edit]
There are many sites offering hot spring bathing options. Tabacon used to be the original one, but since then, other places have sprung up. Baldi, Ecothermales and The Springs are the most popular, but there are also other places offering hot springs for cheaper prices. When checking into your hotel, ask if your hotel has a voucher system or agreement with a particular hot springs. Hot springs usually are offered with buffet-style dinners as a package deal type of ticket, though you can do without dining options.
Standard souvenirs, photos of the erupting volcano, machetes at the hardware store, Costa Rican coffee.
Get out[edit]
From Fortuna you can go to Monteverde with a combination of jeep and boat or horse. Or you could take the bus to Tilarán, and from there to Santa Elena, Monteverde, or down to the Interamericana that takes you north to Guanacaste or south in the direction of Puntarenas. You can get to Los Chiles, Puerto Viejo and San Jose via Ciudad Quesada. And of course there's the direct bus back to San José, at an approximate cost of $6.50.

text: A Finnceline Tale Chapter 3 The DreamLacking the faith of getting a good night's rest after the rejection of Princess BubbleGum seven days earlier, Finn attempted his best to doze off but to no succession. Once he cleared his mind and relaxed his body however, his mind slowly began to fade into slumber.In his dream, Finn's eyes remained closed and once they opened, he discovered he was high up the daytime clouds. Frightened by his location, the human thrashed his arms and legs wildly until he dropped down inches from where he initially began. Finn soon tapped the atmosphere he sat on to uncover that he still remained in midair. Reaching out to his sides, he felt two strong walls stop his palms, though nothing was before his hands but clouds. Standing up, he felt a roof above his head, again with nothing in plain sight. Panicking, Finn shoulder bumped in every direction he could only to be stopped by the invisible walls.Frustrated by the lack of progress, he tried one last time to shoulder tackle to walls only this time,

NSS Legislative and Political Action Network Center
We need your help! The Space Exploration, Development and Settlement (SEDS) Act is about to be introduced in Congress. The purpose of the SEDS Act is to authorize and instruct NASA to pursue permanent human settlements in outer space as well as the development of space in general. We need you to call your member of Congress (to be clear – your Representative, not your Senators) by April 17th and ask him or her to be an original co-sponsor of the Space Exploration, Development and Settlement (SEDS) Act. Representative Dana Rohrabacher's office will introduce the bill. If this is your first PAN alert, or if you are uncertain who your Representative is, please look at this instruction guide.
As an advocate for space, you know that NASA needs a big goal that can excite the public imagination and give clear direction to the human space flight program. The Space Exploration, Development and Settlement Act will make human settlement of space a long-term goal of the United States. By setting such a bold goal, Congress will assure U.S. predominance in outer space for decades, reinvigorate STEM education, catalyze massive economic growth, and energize public support for the space program. The bill does not advocate for a specific destination, launch vehicle or contractual arrangement, nor does it calls for the expenditure of additional funds. It is a short, simple bill and is intended to give NASA clear guidance: get humans into space, this time to stay.
Please contact your member of Congress today and ask them to co-sponsor the Space Exploration, Development and Settlement Act. Once you've contacted your Member of Congress please let us know so we can follow up with them. You can do so by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also email any questions you may have at the same address. [Copy of the Act in PDF]
2015 NSS August Home District Blitz
If you live too far from Washington to participate in the SEA 2015 Blitz or the March Storm Blitz, NSS organizes a "home district" Blitz later in the year during August when Congress is in recess and members of Congress are most probably in their home districts. This Blitz supports an agenda that is fully determined by NSS. If you are interested in participating in the home district visits please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. This email should contain your contact information. Please indicate in the email if you are willing to act as a local visit organizer in addition to joining a visit trip. We need at least one local organizer in each state, and especially encourage multiple volunteers for larger states such as California and Texas.
Who Ya Gonna Call? The Oklahoma Space Alliance
NSS members often associate Congressional visits with events like the SEA Blitz, the March Storm, and the August Home District Blitz. Even so, the great majority of these visits are with staff, not the Senators/Congress members themselves.
Hence, it was with considerable surprise when the office of Representative Jim Bridenstine (R-OK District 1) called Steve Swift, the President of the local NSS Chapter (the Oklahoma Space Alliance) requesting a briefing on space matters. Bridentstine is on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, and is Chair of the Subcommittee on Environment.
Steve and members of the Oklahoma Space Alliance ended up talking with the Congressman himself for 1-½ hours on February 18, 2015! To prepare for this important meeting, the chapter prepared a four-page document of talking points. Although this document is localized to the situation in Oklahoma, it is a good model for any NSS Chapter to follow. Please join us in congratulating Steve and the Oklahoma Space Alliance on this significant achievement!!!
Prior Blitzes
The National Space Society participates in the annual Space Exploration Alliance (SEA) legislative blitzes in Washington DC in which space advocates let Congress know that there is strong constituent support for an ambitious and sustainable path forward in space. The Space Exploration Alliance includes groups ranging from NSS and Explore Mars to AIAA, the Moon Society, the Mars Society, the Planetary Society, the National Society of Black Engineers, SEDS, and Buzz Aldrin's ShareSpace Foundation.
In September 2012, on the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's "We Choose to Go to the Moon" speech, members of the National Space Society (NSS) went to Capitol Hill and urged Congress to support our nation's space program in a Legislative Blitz that was co-organized with Explore Mars, Inc.
Every February, as the U.S. Congress begins its deliberations on the federal budget, NSS members visit Representatives and Senators in their offices in Washington, DC, in support of the Society's most important space-related agenda items for the year. This event, held over a three-day period, typically involves meetings with over one hundred congressional offices. This activity is open to all NSS members no experience necessary, and, the more the better! and allows members of Congress to hear directly from their constituents about the importance of expanding civilization into space.
NSS Political Action Network (PAN)
The PAN is NSS's phone tree and is instrumental in contacting members personally to notify them of important issues and to request their participation in efforts to call, write, or email others, including their elected representatives, about particular space issues. This activity is open to all NSS members. Please join the NSS and its Political Action Network using our Online Membership Form. See also Guidelines for Contacting Congress.
NSS Policy Committee
The National Space Society's Policy Committee is responsible for formulating and implementing the Society's positions on space activities, from NASA to industry to commercial and entrepreneurial spaceflight. As a grass-roots advocacy and educational organization, NSS is proactive and forward-thinking in sharing its message with the public and with elected officials. The NSS Policy Committee, chaired by NSS Executive Vice President Dale Skran, seeks to further the NSS mission through the following:
Policy Formulation
The Policy Committee discusses, debates, and formulates the positions that the NSS takes to advance the cause of human beings living and working in communities beyond the Earth. These positions are reflected in formal position papers, letters to elected officials, press releases, web site content, and messages presented during one of grassroots visit to Congress that NSS supports, which include the February SEA Blitz, the March Storm, and the August Home District Blitz.
Policy Implementation
The Policy Committee also serves to call our members to action, and to otherwise communicate NSS messages and policy positions to the public and to elected officials. Policy implementation activities include activating the NSS Political Action Network and providing logistical support for the Legislative Blitz.
