When I was young, my family had a book on one of our shelves. It was about the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.
As a child, my sisters and I pored through that book. In it were sumptuous color images of the largest privately owned country estate in the U.S. Rather than reading the words, the history of the place—which was built by George Vanderbilt over a hundred years ago, nearly breaking him of his vast family fortune, but providing a final crowning achievement for the architect and landscape designer—we treated it as a picture book.
We memorized every page, every detail, every room. We allowed each other to take turns, choosing favorites (mine was the Louis XVI Bedroom, although I was also quite partial to the Winter Garden). The home actually has 255 rooms altogether, including an indoor bowling alley, a swimming pool and gymnasium. It has a rotisserie kitchen, servant's dining hall, and trophy room. It has a carriage house and stables, an Italian garden, a walled rose garden (3,000 roses), and a conservatory.
My childhood visions of what wealth and elegance looked like were shaped by the Biltmore.
They built the estate for people to enjoy, the book said. They built it to have guests. As a girl, I imagined them pulling up the front drive in a carriage, or in some kind of early motorcar. They'd have servants with them, servants to press their lace-crusted dresses and to carry their guns and picnic baskets out into the forest for the hunt. These guests would all be rich themselves, and used to living like little kings and queens. But even so, their first view of the Biltmore, as they came up the front drive, would probably take their breath away.
Twenty years later, you can imagine my excitement when I ended up with a couple of discounted tickets to this estate. Justin and I did a few quick calculations and decided that, at only 4.5 hours away, it would make a very nice weekend trip. We would go in the spring, we decided. Or early summer, before it gets too hot, and while the gardens are still in bloom.
This last weekend, we made our getaway.
And what a getaway it was! We packed up a few changes of clothes and some picnic fare for the road, drove through the mountains, and came into the beautiful Asheville at about 3 pm on a Friday. We were ready for good architecture, good weather, good books, good beer, and good food. We had a bit of all those things, with the bonus of enjoying each other's company immensely.
Justin gladly fell in with helping me enjoy the fulfillment of a small but lifelong dream. I gladly fell in with helping him hunt through every used bookstore in the city for the 'jackpot' (this is Justin-speak for 'five or more truly good books for under fifteen dollars').
Something else new happened on this trip, though. I ordered an iPhone, my very first iPhone, and it came in the mail the night before we left. I was very excited that I'd be able to chronicle the trip in cool filtered pictures, like all the cool kids are doing these days. Justin, in the meantime, was nervous that I'd lose my head and get caught up, playing with my phone for the whole weekend.
In the end, we were both a little bit right. I took some pictures and Instagrammed them like a pro; I selfied the two of us at every major destination and got some nice filtered images of the front facade of Biltmore. There were literally hundreds of things I saw and heard on the trip that I had an urge to take snapshots of. I attempted self-control, and took only a small percentage of these pictures. Really I think that I balanced the taking and leaving of pictures pretty well.
But I also noticed something significant: The things that I now remember from this trip with the most warmth and the most genuine enjoyment were the things that I enjoyed with my phone safely stowed away out of sight.
I'm not the first person to have noticed this correlation: the more you try to capture a thing for later, the less able you are to actually see it and experience it in real time.
On the drive there, I was reading aloud to Justin from a book of poems, and came across one by Wendell Berry which I think sums up this case pretty well. It's called "The Vacation."
"Once there was a man who filmed his vacation," the poem begins. "He went flying down the river in his boat with his video camera to his eye…" Then the poem describes the sights and sounds, and talks about the fact that his vacation was forever preserved, so that it would be there always with the flick of a switch. "But," the poem finishes, "he would not be in it. He would never be in it."
This seemed important to me when I read it, especially since my iPhone had just been activated and was waiting hopefully in my purse. But with that said, I have to admit something else. I am glad that I was able to get that one image of the front façade of the Biltmore.
Because, you see, it looks just like a picture that I have in that book at home.

Obama win forces Brazil to take a tolerance check
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) – What struck the Brazilian woman most forcibly as she watched U.S. election returns on television was seeing Barack Obama's two young daughters.
"I can't believe those two little girls with hair like mine will be in the White House," said 31-year-old Carolina Iootty Dias, putting her hand to her head, tears in her eyes as she watched the screen.
Black Brazilians such as Dias, a human rights worker, celebrated Obama's election as giving hope worldwide. But the country that prides itself on racial mixing and tolerance is also being forced to take a reality check.
Though half of Brazil's 190 million people are black – the world's largest black population outside Nigeria – power remains firmly in the hands of whites. The country has few blacks in top political positions, and government studies consistently show blacks in Brazil earn half as much as whites.
"This Brazilian hypocrisy that says racism does not exist is one of the things that keeps the nation from advancing," said Stepan Nercessian, an actor and Rio de Janeiro city councilman, who is white.
Latin America's largest country has long looked down its nose at the racial discord in the U.S. – segregation laws, civil rights battles and a strained social dialogue that continues today.
But Obama's election is making Brazilians look inward, with some arguing that an American-style struggle is exactly what Brazil is missing.
"I think it is important for young black Brazilians to know how the civil rights movement progressed in the U.S. and how it produced not just Obama, but blacks at the highest levels of American businesses," said Edson Santos, Brazil's minister of racial equality, who is black. "It is important that they have contact with this reality."
Glaucia Carvalho Oliveira is one of those young people.
"All of a sudden, Obama has arrived and taken us to the next level," she said, sweat glistening on her face as she assembled her snack stand on Rio's Copacabana beach. "We black Brazilians need him as much as the Americans do."
Brazil and the U.S. were two of the largest slave-owning societies in the Americas – some 4 million shipped to Brazil and 500,000 to the U.S. – and the two countries that benefited most from the slave trade.
Brazil freed its blacks in 1888, the last country in the Americas to do so. In that year it abolished all its race laws, while American blacks had to fight for more than 100 years after they were freed to gain full rights as citizens.
Black and white Brazilians mix easily in both marriage and social venues, from soccer matches to samba clubs. Beyond the half of the population that is black, most Brazilians are of mixed ancestry and have a census category, "parda."
No such category exists in the U.S. census. Obama, who is half white and identifies as black, could call himself parda if he were Brazilian.
Despite Brazil's social ease around race, many argue that its blacks simply moved from the slave quarters to the slums.

A couple boff questions
I want to swap out some skills on a couple of my boffs, but I've spent a lot of points raising their current skills. When you swap in a new skill, do the SP go back to you to reassign, do the sp just vanish or do the points carry over to the new skill?
Also, what affect does a rare or uncommon status on a boff have? It was late at night when it happened and I didn't complete it yet, but I swear my current mission reward is a rare boff.

PORTLAND -- The man behind Oregon's Ballot Measure 5 has passed away.
Don McIntire was found dead in his Gresham home Friday morning of an apparent heart attack, according to his wife Romaine.
McIntire was a long-time tax activist best known for his role in leading Oregon s property tax revolt in 1990, culminating in the passage of Ballot Measure 5, which limited property taxes in Oregon.
McIntire was 74.
KXLradio talk show host Lars Larson called McIntire a hero to every Oregonian.
The tax reform measures advocated by McIntire polarized Oregonians. In 1990, Governor Barbara Roberts warned that people would die if Measure 5 passed, and Portland Schools Superintendent Matthew Prophet warned of the wave of pink slips for teachers that would result from the tax limits.
Measure 5 was narrowly approved by voters in 1990, with 574,833 votes in favor and 522,022 votes against.
More:Oregon Dept. of Revenue Measure 5 analysis
In tributes posted on a memorial page, Oregon Taxpayers United spokesperson Jason Williams wrote: One of the most common phone calls we received over 12 years was from senior citizens saying If it wasn t for Don McIntire I wouldn t be able to live in my home today in their heartfelt gratitude for Measure 5 property tax limitation. Those calls continued even like decades since the measure passed. That to me says it best. He fought government corruption.
Don McIntire was a giant in Oregon s limited government movement, said Steve Buckstein of the Cascade Policy Institute, He gave tirelessly of himself for literally decades to reign in the government he thought was too large and too intrusive. (Measure 5) saved Oregon property owners over five billion dollars in its first ten years alone. Every Oregonian who wants to keep government in check owes Don McIntire a huge debt of gratitude.

East Bali and surrounds
Beautiful Bali
I was born in Indonesia, I am Indonesian and I love traveling.
The East coast of Bali is my favorite place to enjoy my vacation. Why? I always have a good time, relaxing on the beaches, diving, snorkeling and talking to the locals. Not only that I also enjoy the sleepy local island pace.
Only two hours north east of the crowds and traffic of South Bali. The journey to this area is an experience in itself. Sideman road is a wash of green rice paddies and photo worthy vistas that always make me regularly pull over.
When I go to eat coast I have always visit Candidasa for 1 night, stay at one of the holiday homes by the beach and dine at local restaurants or have one of the staff cook for me, I even cook on my own sometimes. All of the Balinese staff are very friendly. We can spend all night talking and laugh about many things.
The next day I regularly visit Amed for diving in Tulamben and stay 1 night, on the way I always like to visit the white sandy Virgin Beach. I always spend half of my day there, have a sunbake, snorkeling, playing with my dog and having lunch there. Many kinds of local restaurants you can choose from on the beach and all local owners are very friendly. One thing that I notice is….they always remembers my name.
The coastline of Amed is a stretch of bays with volcanic rock shorelines and the occasional black sand beach. Each bay has its own feel and many have a range of accommodation with restaurant. Expect to see village life of chickens, pigs and fisherman's huts often on prime beachside land. Many bays are lined with fishing boats as well.
On the east coast, Food can be very cheap with IDR 15,000 ($1.5) I can get Nasi Campur (Balinese rice blend with mix of vegetables and a bit of meat) at West Pantai. Average meals are IDR 35,000 – 60,000 ($3.5 – $6).
How to get there?
From Seminyak, rent a motorbike ranging from IDR 40,000 – 50,000)/day will cost you $2 in petrol, rent a car without driver IDR 175,000 ($18)/day with driver IDR 500,000 ($50)/day but depending on the route you want to take and which area you want to visit.
Accommodation of resort and villa is very easy to get for a beachfront or ocean view. In Peak season like July/August/December/January prices can be double. Most of the dive operators in Amed offer accommodation which may be discounted if diving.
Amed wall and many of the coves will offer a great variety of corals and sea life from pygmy seahorses and frog fish to barracuda and tuna. There is a small Japanese shiprweck that can be dived or snorkelled and for a larger wreck experience the renowned American battle ship wreck at Tulamben is just 20 minutes around the corner.
Stop by keramasbeach for sunset
Exploring further a field you're often startled when you come across another tourist.
- ride the quiet coast road to Amlapurra
- drive up into the hills behind Amed
- take a trekking trip to Gunung Agung and maybe see out to Rinjanni on Lombok at sunset
- visit the temple of Lempuyang and climb the 1700 steps to the top
- visit the water palace of Tirta Ganga

US rejects Chavez missionary spy charges
By Patrick Markey
CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) – The United States on Friday
rejected charges by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez that
members of a U.S. evangelist group were working as spies and
urged authorities to start talks with the missionaries.
Chavez this week ordered the U.S.-based New Tribes Mission
expelled from Venezuela after accusing its members of working
with the CIA and engaging in "imperialist" infiltration in his
latest barrage against the United States.
"I can categorically deny that," U.S. Ambassador to Caracas
William Brownfield told reporters when asked about the spy
charges. "I still hope we can have direct talks between the
mission and the government to resolve their differences."
Chavez's announcement came just days after conservative
U.S. preacher Pat Robertson attacked the left-wing Venezuelan
leader for the second time this year by accusing him of funding
Osama Bin Laden and seeking atomic material from Iran.
Venezuela brushed off his remarks as 'crazy" talk, but
Robertson's call earlier this year for U.S. officials to
assassinate Chavez illustrated the rift between many
conservatives in the United States and the self-described
socialist revolutionary.
Chavez often accuses the United States of plotting his
death or downfall while Washington counters Chavez and Cuban
leader Fidel Castro are using Venezuela's oil wealth to finance
anti-democratic groups in Latin America.
Officials have not specified when the New Tribes Mission
would have to leave Venezuela and offer no proof for the
allegations. Military authorities said on Friday they were
still studying how to remove the missions.
Working in jungles and poor villages, the Florida-based New
Tribes Mission is a Protestant evangelist group specializing in
reaching indigenous people in remote regions worldwide. The
group has been in Venezuela for 59 years.
"We are funded by churches and individuals who are
interested in what we are doing, that is the sole source of our
funding," New Tribes representative Nita Zelenak said. "We are
not in any way connected with any government agencies."
New Tribes sends out missionaries to translate scriptures
into indigenous languages and establish "tribal churches" in
countries as diverse as Mongolia and Papua New Guinea,
according to its Website.
Three of its missionaries were kidnapped from a remote
village in Colombia by leftist rebels in 1993 and another was
killed during a 2002 gun battle between Filipino soldiers and
his rebel captors, who Washington linked to Al Qaeda.

Isaac gaining strength in the Gulf of Mexico
Scott, a Republican, was returning from the convention in Tampa to Tallahassee to monitor Isaac. Fellow Gulf Coast Republican Govs. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Robert Bentley of Alabama said they would not attend the convention at all. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant delayed his travel through Wednesday, leaving open the possibility he could attend the final day of the event.
States of emergency were in effect in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
The choppy ocean waters generated by Isaac weren't all bad for everyone, though. On Pensacola Bay, fishermen boasted big hauls.
"You get a little storm headed this way and they seem to run a little. When the barometric pressure drops, something causes them to run better," said Eric Roberts, who was out fishing for mullet.
Associated Press writers Jay Reeves in Orange Beach, Ala., Jessica Gresko and Melissa Nelson in Pensacola, Fla., and Curt Anderson and Kelli Kennedy in Miami contributed to this report.

Lemon Grove wants businesses to round up rogue carts
Council considers ordinance, fines
"I don't think any grocer wants carts to be out on the streets or contributing to any type of blight," Dodson said.
Other area cities have tried to deal with the problem. Escondido passed a municipal code in 2006 that levies fines of up to $1,000 after five or more abandoned carts from the same business are found in a week.
La Mesa passed a law three years ago that requires businesses to submit a plan to the city each year for how they will retrieve the carts. Store owners pay nominal administrative fees for processing the plans. Companies that don't show they have a way to track down lost carts must pay the city $630. The city allocates $5,000 a year to pick up lost carts that aren't collected through other means.
El Cajon is working on a plan, which should go to the City Council later this year. Santee doesn't have an ordinance, but city crews pick carts up when necessary.
Lemon Grove doesn't pay for a retrieval service, Mitchell said. Many businesses hire their own retrieval services, he said, but not all.
City Hall fields about a dozen complaints each year. Mitchell said dealing with the carts has been on his to-do list for months.
Some Lemon Grove businesses said they already work hard to keep track of their carts.
Peter Benedetto, president of GTM Discount General Stores, which operates a store in Lemon Grove, said his company pays a retrieval service to round up the carts and also sends employees on hourly runs to pick them up. Benedetto said he picks up carts sometimes, too.
"We do take it seriously because I do not want to lose carts," he said.
Some carts will inevitably slip through the cracks, he said, and he doesn't want the company to incur fines. He suggested that the city tap the Sheriff's Department to get involved.
"We're working very hard to not have these losses," Benedetto said, "but we're going to need the help of other people."
City officials said relying on law enforcement was not a feasible long-term solution.

Everglades National Park protects only the southern one-fifth of the historic Everglades ecosystem. In its entirety, this massive watershed boasts a multitude of habitats that provide a subtropical refuge to a unique assemblage of wildlife. With the passage of time and the growth of human population centers in south Florida, the park serves a new role: serving as a touchstone against which to gauge the impacts of man on the natural world. Ongoing science and research are critical for better understanding, and managing, the resources entrusted to the National Park Service for care and protection.
NPS photo by Rodney Cammauf
Unlike early national parks established to protect majestic scenery, Everglades National Park was established to preserve a portion of the vast Everglades ecosystem as wildlife habitat. The park is home to a vast array of animals that have adapted to a subtropical environment in which temperate climatic conditions, characteristic of latitudes to the north, merge with tropical Caribbean conditions. The winter dry season, which lasts from December to April, is the best time for wildlife viewing in the park. Weather conditions are generally pleasant during the winter and standing water levels are low, causing wildlife to congregate at central water locations. Shark Valley, the Anhinga Trail at Royal Palm, and Eco Pond in the Flamingo area are popular areas for viewing alligators, wading birds, and other wildlife. Boaters have additional access to wildlife viewing opportunities in Florida Bay and along the Gulf Coast.
Do not feed wildlife for their safety as well as yours, and give wildlife plenty of space to avoid stressing the animals. Armchair travelers can visit the park through the Anhinga Trail webcam, which overlooks one of the most popular visitor areas in the park.

Everglades National Park serves as important habitat for numerous endemic and legally protected plant species. As with animal life, the plant life of the Everglades is largely determined by the subtropical merge of temperate North American and tropical Caribbean climatic conditions. Another major factor that controls the distribution of vegetation within the Everglades is the hydrologic pattern, which is defined by the depth, timing, and duration of inundation as well as the quality and salinity of the source water. The flat topography, temporal distribution of rainfall, and proximity to the coast all interact to determine the hydrologic regime over the region. Surficial geology and overlying soil type also influence plant species composition and abundance. Disturbances, both natural (including fire, freezes, hurricanes, etc.) and anthropogenic perturbation (such as altered fire regimes, drainage, development, and introduction of exotic pest plants) also impact vegetation patterns.
NPS photo
The Everglades comprise a vast, interconnected mosaic of distinct ecosystems. These diverse habitats are in a state of constant change, subject to the influences of a full suite of environmental processes. Geology, hydrology, air quality, water quality, fire regime, weather, and climate are but a few of the many natural factors that help shape the development of landscapes in the Everglades. The actions of humans also have a strong influence. The introduction of nonnative species, disruptive water-management activities, the disturbance of natural processes, climate change, and air, water, light, and noise pollution have all worked to undermine the integrity of the historic ecosystem.
NPS photo
Natural Features and Ecosystems
The mosaic of habitats contained within the Greater Everglades supports an assemblage of plant and animal species not found elsewhere on planet Earth. Although nine distinct habitats have been identified in the park, they transition into one another and the landscape remains dynamic. Ecosystems remain in a constant state of flux, subject to the natural elements of south Florida and to human pressures. The nine identified habitats include hardwood hammock, pineland, mangrove, coastal lowlands, freshwater slough, freshwater marl prairie, cypress, marine, and estuarine. Check the schedule of Ranger-Led Programs to learn more about specific ecosystems.

Like other national parks, Everglades National Park serves as an ideal outdoor laboratory for a variety of scientific research activity. National Park Service managers need accurate information about the resources in their care in order to make responsible decisions about how they are managed. The South Florida Natural Resources Center (SFNRC) conducts research that informs the management of the south Florida national park units. The work of the SFNRC spans a variety of scientific disciplines and addresses issues pertaining to wildlife management, hydrology, water quality, restoration, and invasive plants and animals. Other investigations involve scientific collaboration and cooperation through partnerships with universities, non-governmental organizations, other federal, state, and local government agencies, and stakeholders. Everglades National Park also is one of seven parks encompassed by the South Florida / Caribbean Network, one of the 32 geographic networks that make up the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program, which was launched in 1998 to build a stronger scientific foundation for the management and protection of natural resources across the country.
NPS photo
The Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness comprises nearly 1.3 million acres of Everglades National Park and offers unparalleled opportunities for viewing wildlife, embarking on a rugged adventure, marveling at dark skies, or simply enjoying quiet solitude in a vast expanse of land and sea. Time spent in wilderness offers important recreational, cultural, emotional, and spiritual experiences.The wilderness also serves as a vital recharge area for south Florida's drinking-water supply, an important line of defense against the devastating winds of tropical storms and hurricanes, and an indispensable nursery ground for marine species of recreational and commercial importance. The many benefits we enjoy today are a result of the foresight of those in the past who realized the need to preserve such areas. To afford future generations the same opportunities we currently enjoy, we have an obligation to preserve the health and integrity of wilderness areas.

Lago di Lugano Hotel reviews
- October 2012

- Canada
A large resort, on the hillside, with big suites, great views of the lake. Not personal in style, but efficient. As others say, the extras are $$. We had a large room with kitchen, but didn't use the kitchen (E60), had our own breakfast on the beautiful balcony. The upper part and the path westward to the village are very pretty. Can be used as a base for Lugano, although the road is narrow & winding.

Located at nice area, arranged in several levels from lake to the hill. Warm welcome - staff (friendly and helpful)speaking also german. We had an apartment with huge living room. The sofa could be used for sleeping (comfortable)if wanted. Sleeping room a little small (like normally in Italy) and a small, but well equipped and modern bathroom. Finally a nice terrace. Would absolutely recommend this hotel and come back if in this area. The only negative was, that our apartment was very close to the street and a little noisy. Breakfast not included in price. EUR 19 per person extra for breakfast. We didn't try.

Wichita is rich in public art. It is a point of pride for this town, and with this beautiful spring weather, now is the time to seek it out.
If you want to see Wichita's newest project, head to Old Town. A relatively little known public art installation is going in along the west wall of the railway corridor off 1st Street on Santa Fe. It is called "Rails and Wheels," and the first stages of this major installation are ready for view.

While most of the hockey matches played at the MHA here attract sparse crowd or often none at all, the rink hockey tournament being organised in Bandra has managed to attract an encouraging number of enthusiasts.
For the final of the Mount Carmel Rink Hockey tournament at the St Aloysius School grounds on May 4, in which Union Bank of India beat RCF 2-1 on penalties, there were easily more than 300 people rooting for their respective teams.
There is a lot of difference between field hockey and rink hockey, though the basics remain the same. For instance, rink hockey is played with five players on field (one goalkeeper + four outfield players) and two substitutes, well as field hockey has 11 players and seven substitutes. In rink, the pitch is relatively smaller, with one-foot high wooden boards as side-lines.
That means, play can continue if the ball hits the board, and players look to make optimum use of those boards. Another important distinction is that unlike field hockey, it is a foul to scoop or whack the ball, except when taking a shot at goal. These rules make the game fast-paced, and short passes imperative.
Hockey has always been popular in Bandra, it is slowly gaining popularity in Malad and Mahim. Viren Rasquinha, former captain of the national hockey team is a Bandra-boy. He says he developed a liking for hockey by watching such tournaments. "When I was a kid, my dad used to bring me to watch the games, and I was inspired by the skills the players used on such a small ground. That's when I made up my mind to become a hockey player," he says.
A major problem that hockey faces in India is the lack for supporters for local league matches. Though the Hockey India League (HIL) generates quite a lot of interest, there are still empty stands at some of the games.
Students, too, prefer to take up either cricket or football. There are only eight schools that participate in the U-16 Mumbai School Sports Association (MSSA) tournament. Due to lack of players, schools like Don Bosco (Matunga) and St. Stanislaus (Bandra) are forced to have the same set of players playing hockey and football.
Saby Noronha, who coaches the St. Andrew's (Bandra) school team says that rink hockey can be the way forward if we want to revive the hockey spirit. "This game is fast, and can be played any where. You don't need an Astro Turf to play. Also, young boys and girls like this fast-paced game and come in large numbers to watch it. I think we should have more tournaments to generate interest."

How many of you have a psycho girlfriend? Or know people who are happy one minute at a party but if someone looking better than them walks in they go crazy! Lately in my life I have found out how much of a psycho some females can be, specifically someone who once was my best friend. While reading Chapter 15 I came across the two concepts of Bi-Polar disorder and Borderline personality. These two concepts are what are going to stick with me the next five years. While coming across these two concepts today when reading I instantly thought of the conversation between me and this gal earlier in the week (long story short-she hates me because my boyfriend talks to her boyfriend and if I don't talk to her when he talks to him she goes psycho) (Although she may not be clinically diagnosed with these two disorders I believe she very well could be based off of other episodes) After reading the definition of a borderline personality I instantly thought of this figure and all of her past, this will definitely be a definition I will remember. I don't plan to do anything in my future with psychology but during my medical days to come when seeing/hearing about "crazy" patients I will think about the actual definitions of these two concepts and how they may not be as extreme as people think.
Bi-Polar vs Borderline Personality
1 Comment
I know someone who could be fine and dandy carefree and if then all of a sudden turn into a crazy person over small things like papers being left out. I'm more of a care free kind of person so I never understand what compels people to do 180s. I understand bi-polar and borderline personality perfectly well but I just couldn't picture myself doing it. Interesting topic to write about. I don't think it'll be something I'll forget mainly due to the fact that it's going to happen to someone around me sooner then later.

text: Couples who work really well together tend to have a similar aesthetic. When those couples get married, that aesthetic is very apparent in the wedding details. Since save-the-dates have become a bigger part of wedding planning in recent years, that "couple style" makes its mark there too. It's like a little preview for what will be in store for guests on the actual wedding day. Jon Sukarangsan and Jess Lau took this preview idea to a whole other level.Read Full Story

My car is a 1973 MGB. About five years ago and only 8,000 miles I had a new brake master cylinder installed when I was rebuilding/replacing/restoring everything.
Now, since early spring, if I let my car sit for any period of time - more than a week - when I get in the car there is a small puddle of brake fluid on my floor mat, where it has drained down from the brake pedal from the master cylinder. The master cylinder is leaking through the main rod.
So, it looks like I am going to have to replace the master cylinder and I have a few questions:
1) Where is the best place to get a new master cylinder?
2) Am I going to be able to buy a new one or will it be rebuilt? Does it matter?
3) Can I rebuild mine? I have read in the archives that you should not do this and it is better to replace it.
4) I have worked on American cars all my life and I have replaced many master cylinders. This will be my first one on my MGB. Is changing it the same as an American car? Are there any secrets/tips/tricks I should know?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Safety Training
This training session is required for members of TXRX Labs who wish to work in the workshop. Class consists of a 30 minute lecture involving general guidelines on how to keep a safe environment in all of the facility and its individual shops. Safety attire is not needed, but students will take a tour of the workshop after lecture to relate the safety notes to specific machines/shops.
This course is not a prerequisite for any other class, as each class covers it's own safety issues.
Hello, Would I need to take this class before the Fabrication 3d Printing class on Feb 1, 2015? Thank You, EricLogin to reply to this comment
No. The safety orientation allows you to work in the machine shop unsupervised (for this tools that they are retained on). 3d printing is in the light fabrication area. Other classes (woodworking, welding, etc.) cover tool specific safety in class. This is general ship safety trainingLogin to reply to this comment
If I purchased a membership before taking a safety class (since it's offered only once a month), is there a way I could be safety certified between my membership start and the class?Login to reply to this comment

YIELD: Makes 2 garnish or snack servings
Heat 1 inch oil in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until thermometer registers 360°F.
While oil heats, peel parsnip, then shave as many ribbons as possible from parsnip with vegetable peeler.
Fry ribbons in 3 batches, stirring frequently, until edges are golden but middles are still pale, about 40 seconds to 1 minute per batch. Transfer parsnips as fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, then season lightly with salt. (Return oil to 360°F between batches.) Parsnips will crisp as they cool.

Homemade Labneh
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: These days, everyone makes hummus at home. Its quintessential pairing - labneh - is even easier to make from scratch. All you need is Greek yogurt, good olive oil, za'atar, and a lot of patience. - Rivka
Serves 4-6
- 12 ounces of your favorite Greek yogurt (I like Fage)
- a small pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons good olive oil
- 1 tablespoon za'atar
- Line a fine strainer with a few layers of cheesecloth and set over a bowl.
- In another bowl, combine yogurt, salt, and lemon juice. Stir to incorporate. Spoon yogurt mixture into the cheesecloth-lined strainer and fold layers of cheesecloth over the yogurt to cover completely.
- Transfer yogurt (and strainer and bowl) to the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. After 12 hours, the yogurt mixture will have thickened into standard labneh; after 24 hours, it will have thickened further, into the extra-stiff labneh that you can buy in tubes at Jerusalem markets. When making it at home, I favor extra-thick labneh.
- Remove strained labneh from the fridge, unfold cheesecloth, and transfer labneh to a serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to make a swirly pattern in the top of the labneh. Drizzle the oil over the labneh and sprinkle with za'atar. Serve cold, with hummus and sliced vegetables and/or warm pita.

i've been using a strainer and greek yogurt to make "yogurt cheese", which has a chevre-like consistency. gonna try the lemon & salt and see how it goes!

Mixing cow and goat milk yogurts makes for a delicious labneh.

I make my own Greek yogurt by setting my homemade yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined strainer. Could I just add the salt and lemon partway through and continue with this recipe?

I don't see why not - let us know how it turns out!

Is there a particular za'atar you recommend? Thanks!
over 1 year ago Rivka
Sorry I'm so late to this comment! Don't know how I missed it. Mine is from Israel, so unfortunately I don't know a good American brand. I'd recommend buying it some place where you can smell it beforehand. If you don't have that option, I'd put my money on Kalustyan's having a good one, and you can order from them online.
over 2 years ago alamesa
Never made Labneh and cannot wait to give this a try. I'm constantly making hummus (garlic and tahini heavy!) and this is going to be a welcome change
over 2 years ago Rivka
Make both together! Nothing's better than hot pita with a shmear of each. Enjoy.

Kamya Punjabi, last seen in Bigg Boss7 and famous for her vamp act in serials is all set to play a witch in the fantasy drama Hatim. Called Rihana, she will be sporting two looks in the serial, one will have her appearing beautiful while the the other one will be the witch. Says a source, "She will be wearing contact lenses and have smoky eyes, long nails and wet hair. It will be a long cameo."
Her character would have cheated prince Rustom's (Devesh Ahuja) father. When Hatim (Rajbeer Singh) finds out, he will be determined to bring an end to her. Producer Suhana Sinha confirms, "Kamya fitted the role perfectly and she accepted it." Incidentally, Kamya is a close friend of Suhana and recently was part of the Jaipur Joshiley cricket team. In fact, Suhana and her producer husband Nikhil chose to be a part of the team, only because Kamya was the captain!

Treasury's First Orthodox Chief
Jack Lew, Obama's pick for Treasury secretary, is the highest-ranking Orthodox Jew in U.S. government history
Jack Lew, President Obama's current chief of staff and his pick for Treasury secretary, is the highest-ranking Orthodox Jew in the history of the U.S. government. It's a distinction that imposes some unusual burdens—like having to dodge opinionated congregants who try to accost him about politics in synagogue. The 57-year-old New York native recently told me that he has developed a strategy for such situations. "Your friends protect you—they sit around you and make it a little harder for strangers to come and give you a hard time," he explained. "I just tell people, 'If I wanted to work on Saturday, I have this 24/7 job. I come to shul to pray.' "
Lew's nomination to succeed Timothy Geithner as Treasury chief is the culmination of a distinguished career in public service. Over nearly four decades in and out of Washington, he has been a senior policy adviser to Democratic Speaker Tip O'Neill; a special adviser to President Bill Clinton; the director of the Office of Management and Budget under the last two Democratic presidents; and since January 2012, President Obama's chief of staff—the fourth Jew to occupy the post in the nation's history. (The others are his predecessors, Rahm Emanuel and Josh Bolten, as well as Reagan official Kenneth Duberstein.)
As the Obama Administration's most high-profile Jewish appointee, Lew has served as the White House's point person for outreach to the Jewish community. When the president decided to tap controversial former Sen. Chuck Hagel as his next secretary of Defense, Lew was reportedly dispatched to call AIPAC Executive Director Howard Kohr and defend the pick. In the run-up to the 2012 presidential election, Lew met regularly with Jewish leaders on the campaign trail to reassure them about Obama's intentions toward Israel, and even publicly debated former Bush Jewish liaison Tevi Troy on that and other subjects.
This past summer, while serving as chief of staff in the White House, Lew hosted the leaders of the country's different Jewish denominations. And when the White House began blogging the High Holiday recipes of its Jewish staffers in September, Lew contributed his family's tzimmes recipe. (The New York Times would later report that Lew makes "a mean potato kugel.") It's not the only culinary contribution Lew has been responsible for while serving in the administration: The White House added a kosher option to their takeaway lunch menu to accommodate his dietary restrictions.
Over the course of his career in government, Lew has built strong relationships with Jewish politicians on both sides of the aisle. Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has spoken highly of him, telling Politico in 2011 that "no one was more prepared and more in tune with the numbers than Jack Lew. He was always very polite and respectful in his tone and someone who I can tell is very committed to his principles." And when Sen. Joe Lieberman's retirement party was held this past November, Lew was the Democrat who toasted him—citing a saying from Pirkei Avot—alongside Republican Sen. John McCain. (Lieberman then thanked Lew and jokingly explained how he'd always been envious that Lew managed to "be Jewish and convince people by your name that you're actually Asian-American.")
Lew's ties to the American Jewish community run deep. On Hanukkah in 1998, he was one of the first federal officials to light the Chabad menorah in the nation's capital. During the height of the efforts to free Jews under Soviet rule, Lew worked with Natan Sharansky and his current Riverdale synagogue rabbi, Avi Weiss, to advocate for the cause. (Weiss, rabbi of the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale, calls Lew "one of the most unassuming, giving, and caring congregants I've ever been blessed to have," adding that it is "rare for a person in such a powerful position to be the quintessential mensch.") This past December, Lew accepted an honorary degree from Yeshiva University, where he delivered the keynote address at its annual Hanukkah dinner.
Ironically, though, Lew is perhaps most famous among American Jews for a story that never actually happened—at least as it was reported. When Lew was tapped by President Obama to direct the Office of Management and Budget in 2010, NBC claimed that he had once refused to pick up a phone call from President Clinton on Shabbat, even when the latter entreated on the answering machine that "God would understand." It's a fun anecdote, Lew told me, with one flaw: "It's kind of fabricated."
"The true story is I came home one [Shabbat] morning from shul, and the phone machine was going off saying 'please disregard the previous message from President Clinton. He just remembered that it's Saturday and he's going to call someone else,' " Lew recalled in November, when I spoke to him while he was on the campaign trail in Ohio. "He was out of the country and forgot what day it was." Clinton, he said, was always careful never to trouble Lew on Shabbat unless the matter was urgent, and Lew, knowing this, would never have ignored his call. "He knew that I'd take this call on a Saturday if he needed me; he knew I'd get in a car and come in if he needed me," Lew explained. That's why Clinton called back to tell Lew to ignore his initial message. Rather than being an example of a conflict between Lew's religious and political obligations, the real story "illustrates tolerance and understanding."
"I have found that people are tremendously respectful of things like personal observance that are rooted in beliefs and values," said Lew. "I've been really privileged to work for two presidents—President Obama and President Clinton—who are both people of faith, who value faith, and who respect that others have the same feelings in their own lives."
In fact, Lew says being Shabbat-observant has helped him prioritize his hectic work schedule. "There's a great desire that people have in positions that are close to power to be at the meeting in the room," said Lew. "You have to separate, I believe, your desire to be there from your need to be there. If you're the only one who can help make or shape a decision, it's very different from just wanting to see what goes on."
Drawing that line is difficult, he added, but as "somebody who has managed to balance family and religious values with public life, I think it can be done." And the rewards, for Lew, are worth the struggle. "I think there's no higher calling in terms of a career than public service, which is a chance to make a difference in people's lives and improve the world," he said. Indeed, "the opportunities to make a difference are probably greater than any other line of work," which is "not a bad way to spend your professional life."

Re: What is there to do in Port Said on Sunday?
Since Friday is the Holy day in Egypt Sunday shouldn't bother you. And even than: Egypt is alive 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Port Said seems to be a nice city, although I have never been there. It is on the entrance of the Suez canal from the Mediteranean Sea, so it can be quite spectacular to see the big ships passing by.
Or maybe Alexandria could be an option. Enough to do in a day: the Great Library, the Fort Qait Bay, Pompeys Pillar, Kom al Shufaga catacombs, the Alexanria National Museum, Montaza Gardens, Kom al Dikka, very good seafood!

Wedding Day poemGreen grass, Blue skies, Yellow flowers.
People standing infront of their seats waiting my arrival.
I stand staring out my lace vail. Deep breath, I clutch my bouquet.
Grabbing hold of my fathers arm, the music begins.
Slowly we walk down the isle lined in petals.
Growing closer and closer to the man I love.
I see his smile, and I cant help but smile back.
We reach the point where I have to let go.
I hand my bouquet to the women in my left. Let go of father on my right and step forward.
Taking the hand of the man I'm about to spend enternity with.
We exchange our vows, Say "I do."
Fate is locked in place. I am now not only a bride, but a wife.
He is not only a groom, but now my husband.
The rest of the world fades away as we seal it with a kiss.
And now we begin the rest of our lives as not only two people,
Not just a couple,
Not just a relationship,
But a marriage.
A companionship.
And most importantly, two people who completely and love eachother.
We will now spend the rest of their

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Vicki Ann Moss, DNSc, MS, BSN, RN (University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh)
Description: This is an overview and synthesis of professional concepts that are basic to the development of the professional nurse.
Purpose: The purpose of the first edition of this book was to assist RNs "in baccalaureate nursing education to become re-socialized in the full professional role." However, the authors now believe "it can be a resource to all nursing education programs."
Audience: The book would be appropriate for student nurses, recent graduates, and practicing nurses.
Features: The 23 chapters are grouped into four sections covering an exploration of professional nursing, the changing healthcare context, professional nursing roles, and the future of professional nursing. There is an update on the history of healthcare insurance in the United States as well as information on the Mexican and Canadian healthcare systems. Information on nursing management and leadership has been expanded and there is a new chapter on the quality improvement process. Vignettes based on real life experiences and reflection questions are included in each chapter. Internet exercises and Internet resources listed at the end of each chapter help the nurse link content to professional practice. The majority of the chapters also contain research briefs.
Assessment: This book contains information on a multitude of professional topics, but what is really helpful and interesting are the chapter questions for reflection as well as the Internet exercises. Each chapter could stand alone and the discussion questions could be used in class or online. The Internet exercises are very timely and provide enhanced information in a fun way. The vignettes add real-world scenarios that a professional nurse encounters in practice, and helps the nurse identify ways to handle these situations. This is a valuable book to help the nurse grow in professionalism in dealing with today's changing and very complex healthcare arena.
