Cooking Spree: Braided Bread
A Braided Bread for Special Occasions – made easy with a food processor
This bread has been a favorite around our house for years. There's hardly ANY time at all in the actual preparation. No muscles required, no sporty (red or otherwise) stand mixer to pull out of its cupboard. Just a food processor and a couple simple ingredients and you're in the bakin' business. Of course, like all yeasted breads, there's time spent loitering around. You design what form your loitering will take, but here's how to make the bread – so easy, you might confuse it with play. First, I'll give of all the instructions for the basic braided loaf (in the style of Challah, a Jewish egg bread.) Then I'll show you how to adapt it so as to end up with a Greek-style festive Easter bread.
NOTE: Milk brought to temperature may be substituted for the water. Melted butter may be used in place of the oil. Both of these substitutions will result in a richer loaf.
In the bowl of the processor, whir the egg and salt together, then pour into a small cup and reserve. No need to wash the work bowl.
In a small bowl, stir the yeast and the sugar into the warm water and allow it to stand until all bubbly.
With the metal blade, put the flour, oil, eggs and salt into the work bowl and turn on the machine. Pour the yeast mixture through the feed tube and process until dough cleans the inside of the bowl.
If the dough sticks, add more flour by the tablespoon through the feed tube. Allow each addition to be incorporated before adding any more. If, on the other hand, the dough is too crumbly (doubtful), add water by the teaspoon through the feed tube. Again, allow any addition to be fully incorporated before adding more. Once you have the desired consistency, process the dough until uniformly supple and elastic – only about 40 seconds. Easy huh?
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and rotate to coat the entire surface with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit quietly in a warm spot until doubled – about an hour.
With your fist punch (only once) the dough to deflate; then dump onto a floured work surface. Divide into three equal portions. Roll each of the 3 pieces into a rope, about 16-18 inches long. Place 3 of the ropes lengthwise on the work surface in front of you, with an inch or so spacing between them. Lift the rope on the right and place it between the center rope and the rope on the left. Now take the left rope and place it between the center rope and the right rope. Continue in this manner (just these 2 movements) until you get to the end. (See photo above.) Pinch the ends together tightly. Tuck both pinched ends under and fluff it up to make it pretty.
Transfer the braided loaf to a baking sheet, lightly oiled, or a baking sheet with silicone pad or lined with parchment paper. Cover with a clean cotton towel and allow to rise 'til doubled, about 1 hour.
Fifteen minutes before baking, place rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400° F (205°C.)
When the loaf has doubled in size, brush with the reserved glaze and sprinkl with either poppy or sesame seeds. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 (205 C). Then reduce oven temperature to 350 F (175 C) and bake until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when rapped on the bottom – about 20 minutes longer. Immediately remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Write Like a Scuba Diver
Laura Varlas
In her 2013 ASCD Annual Conference session, "Mentor Texts for Teaching Middle School Writing," "trait lady" Ruth Culham demonstrated how to teach the seven traits of writing through engaging fiction and nonfiction.
Within each of the seven traits of good writing—ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, conventions, and presentation—are subdomains that specify key areas of focus. For example, within the "ideas" trait are teaching points like finding a topic, focusing the topic, developing the topic, and using details.
"One area that holds writing back," said Culham, "is students' inability to focus their writing." She said the oft-cited adage "show, don't tell" can be hard for middle school students to grasp and internalize. Instead, Culham offered the example of an inventive middle school teacher who used snorkeling and scuba diving as analogies for vague versus focused writing. Snorkelers float on the surface; they can make out the details of the fish and coral below them, but it's not very clear. Scuba divers go deeper. It is a little scarier and takes more skill to do, but it's much more rewarding when you can see a shark up close or hold a starfish in your hand.
Culham said that the message to students is, "Don't write like snorkelers; don't sit on the surface. There's so much interesting stuff deeper in the ocean." This middle school teacher used the word "snorkel" as shorthand in the margins of students' work when he wanted to let them know where they needed to add focus. The analogy worked. Culham said one student even exclaimed during a self-assessment of his writing, "Oh my gosh, I'm still sitting on the beach!"
Explore the key qualities within each writing trait with Culham's handout (PDF).

BATON ROUGE -- Lafayette Rep. Rickey Hardy's effort to end what he calls "legalized corruption" that allows school administrators to continue working and collect retirement benefits fell flat Wednesday.
The House Retirement Committee killed Hardy's HB114, which he said would stop the abuse of "a loophole" that was created to allow retired teachers to return to work to alleviate a teacher shortage. He said other school employees are taking advantage of that option and he believes it should apply only to teachers.
"I have the utmost respect for teachers," Hardy said. "We don't have a shortage of administrators. Are these people so important that they couldn't be replaced?"
Hardy compiled a chart showing several non-teachers -- a clerical worker, a librarian and an assistant superintendent -- in the education system who are currently working and collecting retirement benefits.
One was Lawrence Lilly, deputy superintendent of the Lafayette Parish School System and director of human relations. Hardy said Lilly is "double-dipping" by collecting $117,212 in salary and more than $31,000 in an early retirement benefit, and when his full retirement benefits kick in this August, he will be making more than $256,000 a year.
Lilly is considered a "return to work" retiree because he retired one day before he returned to his job.
Several members of the committee said Hardy's bill had several problems, one of which was that even classroom teachers who return to work would have to start over with a beginning teacher salary. Hardy asked if a committee member would amend it to apply only to non-teachers, but he got no help.
Committee Chairman Rep. Joel Robideaux, I-Lafayette, was the only member who "out of deference to my colleague" did not vote to kill the bill.

wondering whether any of you able to help. I've been experiencing for a while now some problems with films loaded on my Rolleicord III and Rolleiflex Automat. I didnt have this problem at all before but for the past few times happening all the time and cannot work out what i'm doing wrong.
Please see attached bad scan of bad test negative (inverted in PS). You can see the horizontal stripes across the negative. Looking at them closely they have a sort of "ladder" pattern and appear regardless of the film brand I use and on both the Rolleiflex and the Rolleicord.I have not changed the way I load them and try not to load under bright light. It could be some kind of light leak but can't work out where from and I have not changed anything on the cameras. The picture from both cameras were absolutely fine before.
Is it a problem with the cameras? a problem with the way I load the film?
I hope some of you can help as was starting to enjoy them. Not sure if I should post more details?
I appreciate the negative is not great and not greatly processed but the issue happen regardless now. Any suggestion welcome.
PS. the lighter area on the right hand side for some reason is not really visible on the negative but only on the scan....

This church has layers of history literally visible in its architecture. Originally there was a 6th-century chapel on this site founded by the Archdeacon Orso, a local saint. Most of this structure was destroyed or hidden when an 11th-century church was erected over it. This church, in turn, was encrusted with Gothic, and later Baroque, features, resulting in a jigsaw puzzle of styles, that, surprisingly, manage to work together. The 11th-century features are almost untouched in the crypt, and if you go up the stairs on the left from the main church you can see the 11th-century frescoes (ask the sacristan, who let you in). These restored frescoes depict the life of Christ and the apostles. Although only the tops are visible, you can see the expressions on the faces of the disciples. Take the outside doorway to the right of the main entrance to see the church's crowning glory, its 12th-century cloister, enclosed by some 40 stone columns with masterfully carved capitals depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments and the life of Saint Orso. The turrets and spires of Aosta peek out above.

Recently, in the lake board report here in Colon, I read there weren't any plans to have the flotilla on Palmer Lake this year. I contacted Denny Russell, who had run the flotilla for the past six years, to let him know I was willing to run it this year. Denny will be helping out.
This will be the Seventh Annual Flotilla Boat Parade on Palmer Lake. It's scheduled for Saturday, July 6, at 6:30 p.m. and will begin at the boat launch off of Burr Oak Road. This year's theme is "Movies."
This is a great draw from the town. Boats are judged by members of the Masons Lodge and trophies are awarded for first through fourth places. I wanted to keep the flotilla going because it's a fun event for not only the participants, but those that come out to watch. It's been a great addition to many fine traditions held in Colon on Palmer Lake for the Fourth of July weekend, such as the downtown parade, ring of fire and fireworks display.

Ned Smith Appointed Regional Director
FIRST News Release
MANCHESTER, N.H., August 10, 2009 - FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a not-for-profit organization founded by inventor Dean Kamen to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology, announced today the appointment of Ned Smith as Regional Director for the Erie, Pa., area. FIRST sponsors local and regional robotics competitions in area schools, including the FIRST Robotics Challenge and the FIRST LEGO® League. Smith's role will be to coordinate FIRST activities in the area and develop new regional partnerships and mentorships with the goal of creating and maintaining robust, volunteer-driven and self-sustaining programs in the region.
The Erie area is represented by four FIRST Robotics teams in local high schools, including Erie City, Harborcreek/Iroquois, Corry and Millcreek/Fairview. Nearly 50 FIRST LEGO League teams participate from area middle schools with a regional competition scheduled in November. Regional events are held in Pittsburgh and Cleveland, which culminates in the national Championship to be held in Atlanta in April 2010.
"The ultimate goal of the programs is to inspire youth to take an interest in science, math and technology through robotics," said Smith. "Today's participants will be tomorrow's engineers and scientists," said Smith. "The regional competitions take on the flavor of a high intensity sporting event. The enthusiasm of the students is similar to what you would witness at a championship basketball or football game."
"With an underlying principle of 'Gracious ProfessionalismT', FIRST encourages young people to be professionals first and competitors second," said Bruce Linton, Vice President of Planning and Field Operations, FIRST. "Emphasizing the value of others as well as respect for individuals and community, the concept of Gracious Professionalism is paramount to assuring success in both the competitions and later in life."
With a grant from the GE Foundation and a partnership with the national 4-H clubs, emphasis this year will be to develop a FIRST Tech Challenge league in the area. Teams will consist of up to 10 high school-aged youth per team, bridging a gap between the middle-level FIRST LEGO League and the FIRST Robotics Competition. Teams will compete in a regional event in February 2010. Interested groups (groups need not be associated with a school and community groups are welcome) are encouraged to contact Smith via email, email@example.com, or phone, 814-566-7643. Funding from the GE Foundation will assist in new team startup costs.
Smith is a technology specialist previously employed by the Catholic Schools of the Erie Diocese and the Girard and Iroquois School Districts. He has coached FIRST LEGO League teams participate from middle schools with a regional competition and was helpful in establishing programs in the Erie City School District when he served as a member of its Board of Directors.

When a runaway oil train exploded in a small Quebec town last week and killed some 50 people, the news coverage rightly focused on the awful loss of life and the carelessness that apparently caused the disaster.
In the days since, though, attention has turned to a second point: What was a train full of oil, from a field 2,000 miles away in the western USA, doing in eastern Canada? Isn't that what pipelines are for?
Good question. The answer is that there has been a huge, but little noted, boom in the use of railroads to transport oil. The oil that devastated Lac-Megantic, Quebec, for example, came out ...

Cat Feeding Guidelines
4 lb. cat: 1/4 - 1/3 cup per day
8 lb. cat: 1/2 - 2/3 cup per day
12 lb. cat: 3/4 - 1 cup per day
16 lb. cat: 1 - 1 1/3 cups per day

This chart represents the total recommended volume of food per day. You should divide the total cups recommended by the number of times you feed your cat per day to get the actual portion size per feeding.

|Radiological findings in a case of Menkes' disease.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 7758009 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Menkes' disease, a neurodegenerative progressive X-linked disorder, was diagnosed in a 4-month-old child. The diagnosis was made on the combination of clinical features with laboratory and radiological findings. The pathogenesis of the skeletal findings in Menkes' disease is as yet unclear. Because of the severity of the prognosis and in order to plan treatment, the correct diagnosis has to be reached quickly. Typical manifestations of the syndrome are likely to develop after 3 months of age, with a pleiotropic appearance. In the present case, on the basis of the clinical investigation the patient underwent retrograde cystourethrography, roentgenographic examination of the skeleton, and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. On analysis of the magnetic resonance imaging, we detected one-sided involvement of both subcortical and cortical parenchyma resembling a unilateral ischemic lesion such as, to our knowledge, has not yet been reported.

AMERICA MARTIN is a Colombian-American fine artist based in Los Angeles. She is a traveler between mediums, insouciant in the conquest of new terrain. Martin's favorite landscape is that of the human form, her work is distinguished by a command of line and color, making playful reference to both classic and indigenous art forms. About her work, Martin says, "The artist cannot be idle. It is only duty, love and discipline that make art. Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working. The artist is gluttonous, constantly devouring life in order to translate all that she sees, smells, lives or breathes into her own language. Why, and for what? For the blistering personal joy that comes when one is doing something of and about truth. There is no choosing this life. An artist paints because she must."Art lovers and collectors in the New York metro area have discovered America's vibrant and inspiring work and its relevance to New York's art scene

The Ohio Randonneurs 1000K was this past weekend, with a start at 0500 Saturday and the riders permitted until 0800 Tuesday to finish. Ten of us started the 1000K (others were riding concurrent 600s and 400s), including 4 riders from Maryland (two of whom were on a tandem!). Nine finished; an outstanding rate for such a tough course. We had to deal with almost 29,000 feet of climbing (measured by GPS) although the weather was spectacular -- sunny, dry days for the weekend followed by a cool, overcast Monday with some rain. One rainy day out of three is real nice weather in this part of the world.
This would be my second-longest ride ever. I rode a 1200K last year but I raced it. This would be a totally different experience. The course was three loops -- a 400K followed by 2, 300Ks -- that all returned to the starting location. No bad drop. No SAG. But you could easily ride it as a three-day ride, sleeping two nights at the start/finish, and carry minimal gear on the route. This was the plan.
It was one of those rides where the plan actually works out perfectly. I rode predominantly with three other folks at a conservative (for us) pace. We finished the 400K at 2250 which permitted 4 hours of sleep and a Waffle House breakfast before setting out Sunday AM at 0600. The first 300K was completed by 2048, which permitted a Chipotle dinner, six hours of sleep, and another Waffle House breakfast before an 0600 start on Monday. The final 300K got done by 1914 (it was flatter than the first one!), which meant a good night's sleep before work on Tuesday. It also meant a 62:14 finish time, which I was very happy with for only my second ride over 400 miles.
The route was epic -- the three loops pretty much toured all of southern Ohio, which is very rural, hilly, and has good, lightly traveled roads. We had to deal with one bridge that was unexpectedly out (the vote was to walk the I-beams over the 20-foot drop rather than add considerable distance finding a more sane route across) and some of the roads had recently been chip sealed, but otherwise the course was great. Saw too many deer to count, two wild boar, a heron, and a good-sized hawk. Also saw a juvenile opossum that unfortunately dashed under my front wheel for some suicidal reason. I didn't go down, but I fear the opossum didn't fare so well. Southern Ohio is a haven for dogs (although it's not Kentucky!), but surprisingly we had few that were interested in chasing us. The ride visited numerous state parks, traveled ridges, meandered along rivers, creeks, and through fields filled with a record soy and corn harvest. It climbed some very difficult hills, including two monsters with pitches over 20%. It had some fast down-hills (I'm a tentative descender and I still hit 48mph!).
As for the lessons.... What made the ride so successful was the pacing. I'd ridden brevets very conservatively all year with the result being that I'd had a lot of fun, got to meet more people, and felt great after the ride. I'd hammered on the 1200K last year to break 65 hours and although I was very pleased with the result, it took a solid month to recover fully from the experience. This time I finished on Monday night and felt well enough to ride competitively with the "A" group at the local club ride Thursday night.
Also, until this ride, I'd though it impossible to have negative splits (faster at the end than at the start) in a multi-day event. This ride really proved that wrong. The last 300K of the brevet was by far the fastest and the strongest and I was able to ride the last 50 miles of the 1000K in 2:20 -- a whopping 21.4mph average! And that was without drafting. And with a calm wind. By comparison, on last year's 1200K, I couldn't ride more than 12mph for the last few hours of the ride on completely flat terrain. I'd burned up all my matches already. Does sleep make a difference? I imagine so, but I had only 1 hour more of sleep on the 1000K than on the 1200K. I think the real difference was going out at a pace that I could maintain forever. Part of that was never drafting. I rode beside folks or behind them enough that I was out of the draft. I'm thinking that riding my own ride completely forced me to focus on pace a lot more than when I'm contributing to a common pace that's usually more aggressive than that which I can sustain entirely on my own.
This 1000K really has my rethinking how to do long-distance races -- at least those 24 hours and longer. I'd always gone out hard, expecting to slow down, whereupon I'd rely on the cushion I'd built up, determination, and prayer to hang on until the finish. I think there's still a place for going and blowing it out in 12-hour and double century events. They're relatively short. And I doubt you'll win a 24-hour event that permits drafting without drafting. But for riding the Tejas 500 next month, I'm thinking of drawing on my experience with randonneuring this year, especially on the 1000K, and going out at 17-18mph, rather than trying to ride sub 5-hour centuries for as long as I can. I think I'll have more fun, be less destroyed at the end of the ride, and will be more likely to achieve my goal.
We have a 200K and a 300K left in October and that's the end of the randonneuring season. I'm already looking forward to France!

So third week loss was half a pound, 8 in total now. I have stayed within my points but used my weeklies. Managed not to get disheartened and go off track. Went shopping today and filled up with good things I can have.
Anyone had small loses? Did you sometimes lose more or should I expect much of the same from now on? I know no one has a crystal ball, just looking for experiences.

I'm always amped to see what brides and grooms have in store for their guests. Whether it's something jaw dropping and newsworthy or just plain fun for them, it's wonderful how every couple makes their event their own… and what's even greater… is when you can take the ideas you love the most and make them "your own" too!
At a friend's wedding in August, the bride and groom du jour decided to do all their formality stuff up front (ie. cake cutting, toasts, spotlight dances, etc.). They wanted to get it all done right away; so, they wouldn't have to worry about stopping the dance floor once it was on and poppin'! (Yeah, I took it there.)
In order to alleviate any potential "I don't want to be the first one out on the dance floor" awkwardness, they also artfully decided to follow the traditional father/daughter and mother/son dance with an encore presentation of both where guests were invited to bring their sons and daughters / mothers and fathers to take a spin as well. It was absolutely beautiful and really got the guests out of their seats and onto the floor.
But herein lies their genius… before the song could even finish and a courtesy hug of thanks and exit were completed… the DJ hit everyone with a party time favorite…
*(Doon doon doon doon doon doon doon doon) I like big butts, and I cannot lie!*
That's right… Sir Mix-A-Lot, people! Who could possibly resist the poetic genius of "You can have them bimbos / I'll keep my women like Flo Jo"? The answer is: no one. You know a song's bringing the fury when everyone from a three year old nephew to an 80 year old grandpa are not only shakin' their groove thangs, but singing the words! Yep. I'd say their clever ploy was nothing short of a beaming success.
So successful, in fact, that the Mister and I decided we wanted to take this idea and run with it. We not only wanted it to be a way to get people on the dance floor, but because we both come from large families and knew there would be a lot of parent / child combos fannying about, we figured it would create several photo ops our photographers to work with. But our fabulous photo team didn't just "work with" it; they turned it out! Below is a sample of the memories and dance floor diva shots…

Approximately 575 workers will lose their jobs when the WestPoint doors close August 31st.
Wallace Community College has been doing a lot to help the displaced workers.
Friday, they held a seminar for the workers to learn about education programs available.
Vicki Thomas has packed sheets and pillowcases at WestPoint for the last four years.
After learning she was losing her job at WestPoint, she decided to further her education and study medical assisting at Wallace.
Hundreds of other WestPoint workers are looking to make a change in their career, and many are looking at furthering their education.
That's why Wallace held an information session Friday and is offering 50 percent tuition waivers to help employees train and move into new jobs.
Take Patricia Singleton for instance, who's been working at WestPoint for 18 years. She was mad and scared when she got the news, but now she's looking forward to educational opportunities at Wallace, which is why she attended the session Friday.
Employees say they see the school caring about people who after years of work at one business have to start all over.
Approximately one third of the WestPoint employees have neither a high school diploma nor a GED.
Wallace offers a free GED preparation program through the Adult Education Department for those who need that credential.

Photograph of a quartz crystal ball commonly used for divination or scrying.
A crystal ball is a crystal or glass ball believed to aid clairvoyance. It is sometimes known as a shew stone. A body of water, either in a container or on the ground, used for this purpose, is called a scrying pool.
Celtic tribes, known to exist in Britain as early as 2,000 B.C., were unified by a priesthood known as Druids. Druids are one of the earliest known peoples to have used crystals in divination. It's interesting to note that Druid religion had similarities to megalithic religion of an "earlier" Britain, thus it is possible the first use of crystal divination might have come from them.
Later, during central Europe's Medieval Period (500 - 1500 AD), seers, wizards, sorcerers, psychics, gypsies, fortune tellers, and all other types of diviners also used crystals to "see" into the past, present, or future.
Due to its transparent nature, a natural gemstone called Beryllium Aluminum Silicate (Beryl), was often used in the divination process. Scottish Highlanders termed these objects "stones of power." Though early crystal balls were made from Beryl, they were later replaced by rock crystal, an even more transparent rock.
A 3D computer generated image of a crystal ball'
The art or process of "seeing" is known as "scrying," whereby images are seen in crystals, or other mediums such as water, and are interpreted as meaningful information. The "information" gleaned then is used to make important decisions in one's life (i.e. love, marriage, finances, travel, business, etc).
When the technique of scrying is used with crystals, or any transparent body, it is known as crystallomancy or crystal gazing.
Dr John Dee (July 13, 1527 - 1608 or 1609) was a noted British mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, geographer, and consultant to Queen Elizabeth I. He also devoted much of his life to alchemy, divination, and Hermetic philosophy. He was known for his use of crystal balls in his work.
Crystal balls are popular props used in mentalism acts by stage magicians. Such routines, in which the performer answers audience questions by means of various ruses, are known as "C. G." (Crystal Gazing) acts. One of the most famous C. G. performers of the 20th century, Claude Alexander, was often billed as "Alexander the Crystal Seer.
"The Crystal Ball" by John William Waterhouse: scrying in crystal.

While I agree with some of your comments, my personal experience is that tech can abstract some human issues away - leaving only facts to make a decision. We have all worked with people who use their dominant (or bullying) personality to drive through initiatives that should have never seen the light of day. Take the personality out of the equation and you are left with the facts and can make decisions based on the facts - not because someone is threatening/standing over/pressuring you...
Speaking from experience, working full time from home does create a loss of connectedness and the ability to bounce ideas spontaneously off of coworkers while taking a break etc. Working from home 2 days a week is fine though.
What a sad attempt at an article, no facts/figures/statistics or anything to backup any claim. Where is the great innovation? You mean copying Gmail and pissing off your customers? Or perhaps having 'glitches' in your service for hours/days? I personally can attest to the benefits of remote tech work, with actual experience in delivering large, complex software at less than 20% of the traditional cost. Just about every study published shows higher productivity, efficiency, creativity and performance from telecommute workers than from cubicle workers.
This article lacks any substantiation for its claims and just further widens the gap between what workers want (> 40% would switch jobs to work remotely) and what companies think they want (Cubicle loving workers commuting for hours to get interrupted every 30 min).
Next time at least show some anecdotal evidence if you have no actual evidence, not even a single mention of a product/service that Yahoo has produced under Mayer with all of this new found creativity, intelligence and performance.
You mad bro?
Mark makes up stats like he is scared someone will make him go to work and do something besides walk his dog and watch tv while choosing from the 100 other distractions the home brings. Anyone who thinks people are at all more productive at home, let alone 40% more productive are shills and lying thru their teeth.
My wife worked for a major global technology company that worked almost entirely virtually. They were very productive and very creative. She was part of the core business and they would get together 1 or twice a year as needed.
I have worked most of my adult career in a virtual office environment that had me traveling across the globe. We find being in the same office space adds nothing.
The argument this woman makes is theoretical and weak.
Spicoli, yet you don't provide a single study, here are two with 30s of searching;
Cisco, 2009 study of 2,000 telecommuters, annual savings of $277M
Ctrip Call Center, 2013, 13.5% increased productivity, lower attrition
Did you know that studies show that a single interruption can delay someone by 30 minutes when performing a complex task? Or that studies show offices to be more productive for knowledge workers than cubicles?
Rather than personal attacks or spewing, try some facts, it is WSJ.com after all...
I've home officed for over a decade for small to medium sized tech companies, have taken over $200K a year most those years as a part of the executive team, and work harder and more hours than nearly any cube dweller I have ever encountered. This is because I am ALWAYS working 24-7 with someone around the globe always awake. When I do go to the office I watch people kibbutz for hours, hang out, chat in the hallway, and do almost anything but "work" most of the day. So when I see idiots like Mayers and this author make silly statements, I just laugh at how naïve they are. Is it for everybody? No, but I notice most women like putting people in a "one size fits all" box in an effort to be "egalitarian".
First let me be up front. I have up to this point been a cubical worker, working only from home on very rare occasions. With a change in my job, I have recently become one of the teleworkers for my company. I acknowledge that there is a loss in companionship not being in the office. However I take umbrage with the comment that if you are working from home you are not truly productive. If you are one that will choose "from the 100 other distractions" you are probably one of those that spend more time at the watercooler talking to anyone that passes. Just being at home does not mean that you are not working. I propose that it depends on the individual's work ethic as to what does get done - house work or work work. The tech company that I work for, is currently in a push to require all staff to work from an office and not from home as a backlash to the Yahoo decision (can anyone say jump on the bandwagon?) If I were required I would lose several hours a week that I current work just for commuting. I am working a 12 hour day, whereas if I had to commute, a full 8 hours would be all that I can complete without having a bed moved into my office. Does this not mean that the company is getting more bang for their buck if I work from home?
"The argument this woman makes is theoretical and weak."
Yes, but it's more than that, GG. It's magical thinking.
Magical thinking is the attribution of causal relationships between actions and events where scientific consensus says that there are none. [Wikipedia]
Speaking from experience, this is not an inciteful post. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with sharing your unreasoned opinion, this is not a random blog. This is the Wall Street Journal, and I am now as enlightened on the subject as I would be if I asked a passing stranger.
I don't think it makes sense. The rule simply feeds a need for a large visual audience nearby, that's all.
Productive people are productive wherever they work. Unproductive people are not productive wherever they work.
With chat, screen sharing and teleconferencing tools, employees can save commuting time that they might actually use to get more work done.
And if government decides to start charging gas taxes based on miles driven, a la CA, watch the telecommuting community size explode.
"Yet to date it seems that where one works does matter. That creativity and innovation do feed off physical interactions between people. That something important if intangible happens when people directly spark off each other. That even in the age of big data, critical insights are gleaned and generated from our face-to-face reading of others' moods, enthusiasm, and level of engagement."
Where is the evidence of this? Anywhere?
Shallow discussion.
The reason Yahoo! got everyone back to the office was because so many people were all running startups on the side as Yahoo was going down the pan.
She is from Wisconsin, American midwest - go tell them about telecommuting they will laugh on your face.
Absolute Rubbish, Working in a cube next to another player in a Cube would still require that we both stay in our Cubes to share our screens and documentation, Still require both of us or many of us to be on Speakerphones so that we may type during Joint Development sessions. I am in touch with ALL my team all the time, via Virtual Rooms and LYNC, I am never late for work. I am never late for a Conference Call and I am never snowed in. What can Marrisa say she accomplished besides driving up operating expenses by dragging everybody back to a cubicle. My team's primary work location is in LA. Ever clock how much drive time you have in LA getting only a couple of miles. Ridiculous solution offered by Yahoo. Very misdirected management technique. Hey Marrisa, its 2014. If you are not providing your techs instant communication and sharing capabilities you have bigger problems than morale.
It also depends (almost completely) on the job you're doing. As a journalist, there is absolutely no reason to ever come into an office. Ever. Any discussion of texts or story ideas can be done by phone and those should be kept to a minimum. Yahoo has a lot of writers/editors/reporters but those people waste precious time going into an office (and coming back from it) every day, taking lunch breaks, conversing with people, etc. None of that happens while working remotely. For example, today I'm on assignment, so eating lunch IS working because I'm talking to a source over lunch, not eating it in a cafeteria.
Ending telecommuting for all Yahoo employees definitely hurt productivity for some.
As I understand it, Marissa checked the VPN traffic and guess what, the "work from home" crowd was NOT actually dialing in on their WFH days. They were rightly busted. BTW, using WFH days as an excuse to moonlight or start a side company is a time-honored Silicon Valley tradition. I've known people who pulled WFH days from Cabo and Hawaii, in fact.
So Marissa Mayer was right? Funny, I just thought she was an overpaid, self-centered, bitch. Thanks for clearing that up.
Marissa Mayer may have some issues with her employees who were telecommuting, but for me, this type of work is pretty much a fit to those who wanted to put an end on how hard it is to commute. I actually find it hard to understand why some people do not want their employees to work from home. In fact, surveys have unfolded that most people who are productive are those who worked at home.
Maybe a lot of companies are still thinking on how to closely monitor their staff if they no longer want to work in the office. Actually, this mindset is nothing but a bunch of crap.
We have a lot of productivity tools like Time Doctor (a time tracking software for freelancers, WAHMS, WFH, etc). There is Skype that we can use for communication..and a lot more..
Oh boy ..under the micoscope we go. The kettle is beginning to boil.

The Oven's Sick Joke: Bad Design = Burnt Pizza
Did you ever stay with a friend or relative and, while there, need to use their microwave or oven? How did it go? Was it easy, confusing, frustrating, enraging? Did you figure it out for yourself or did you have to ask for instructions? What about their bathroom? Did you happen to use that, too? How'd that go? Did you figure it out or did you have to ask for instructions?
Over the winter holidays, my family and my son's two friends spent time in a rental house in the Lake Tahoe area. On the evening of our arrival, we decided to pick up pizza on our way to the house. We finally got to our destination, threw our gear inside, and the boys immediately headed outside to build a snowboard ramp. It was vacation, so we decided dinner could wait. My wife volunteered to go back into town and stock up on provisions.
That left me alone with two large pizzas and a green salad. I wasn't sure when the boys would be back in for food, so I put the salad in the refrigerator and decided to keep the pizzas warm in the oven. The rental was recently renovated with a new kitchen and new appliances.
I approached the oven. This was a sleek wall oven, with stainless steel and black glass. I looked for a second, found the "on" button and pressed it, illuminating the multi-function control panel. There were a variety of settings and options such as "turbo bake" and "convection rotisserie," but I decided to go for the simple route and adjusted the temperature to a low setting. After all, I was just trying to keep pizza warm.
We had just arrived and I hadn't had time to track down the usual cooking tools so, after unsuccessfully looking for a pizza pan for about 10 seconds, I decided just to put the pizza boxes directly into the oven. Okay, I know this is dumb ('bet you've done it, too) but I had set the oven temperature to 200 degrees—far below the kindling point of paper—and I figured it would be fine.
My phone started ringing; someone from my office was trying reach me. I answered, but the connection was spotty, so I walked up the stairs where the reception was a little bit better, and talked for about 25 minutes. Suddenly the smoke alarm sounded. I ran back down the stairs to find the kitchen full of smoke... the pizzas! I quickly removed the smoldering boxes and threw them on the stove top. Our pizza dinner was a charred ruin.
I went back to look at the oven—200 degrees. What went wrong? Turns out that in the lower left corner of the display panel (far away from the 200 degree indicator) was an illuminated small letter "c". Yep, Celsius. I only figured it out after finding the user manual for the stove, which the homeowner had stowed in a drawer labeled appliance manuals. Why was the oven was set to Celsius not Fahrenheit? Beats me. Maybe that was the default setting; maybe it was a European oven; maybe the owners of the rental house set it that way to be funny. I really don't know. All I know is that it certainly wasn't evident to me… and instead of warming the pizzas to a toasty 200F, I had scorched them at 200C, the equivalent of about 400 degrees F.
Modern Built-in Oven with flush control panel (no knobs). Not necessarily the oven in my story.
The control panels can get very confusing, especially for a first time user.
This oven wants me to push it. Hey, that's too much work! I just want to keep the pizza warm.
So who cares? I burned pizza and almost started a fire; no big deal, it happens every day. Here's the point: As products get smarter, people are forced to get smarter too, just to use them. For many of today's products, it takes more time and a greater level of attention to perform the simplest tasks. These products can save time, but they can suck time, too. I can understand that if you buy a new appliance it may take some level of involvement to learn about the advanced functions, but basic operations should be obvious and intuitive. This is the acid test for good design. And it's not necessarily just about an object's physical design; it's about how we operate products, how we interact and engage with them that makes the difference.
Unlike a personal cell phone, most household products, from kitchen appliances to entertainment systems to bathroom fixtures, are "we" products used by all members of the family, as well as guests and visitors. They should be designed with that in mind. Today, products are becoming more and more advanced, multi-functional, and connected. So for now, when visiting friends or family you probably don't have to ask how to operate their toilet, but give it a few years; that time may be coming soon.
My wife returned with the supplies and I went back out to get more pizza. I left the operation of the TV and entertainment system to the teenage boys. The vacation was off to a relaxing start.
How have "we" products stymied you? Did you ever have to ask how to operate a toilet? Tell me your story.

Hey Tom - I think that's a Wolf oven you ran afoul of. Not surprising.
To be fair, however, you should be aware that the entire industry (and this industry is not alone...) is fraught with over-designed product. I have been involved in the kitchen business one way or another for about 32 years, and apparently people think that more is better - more features, more gizmos, more ways to do a simple task. I believe in simplification as a watchword. Unfortunately using a rental is difficult because you would have to ask for the manuals on all the systems, read them, and have them available for reference during your stay in order to avoid your experience. see http://photos.asystematicappro... to see examples of what I call simple. if you're interested, write back.
The only way to learn how to use something is to RTFM. Are we blaming the tools we use? Is it an new civil right that we don't have to learn anything about the equipment we use?
Is anyone taught the standard of what was once called an "elegant solution"?
If you are going to design a product, perhaps it should be prototyped a number of times and the intuitive process vetted well before the product goes to market?
Forgive me if I state the obvious, but so few people actually think their way all the way through a process, product, statement, blog comment(yes, I believe this is not thoroughly thought out...), whatever; it is a wonder any of us get across a street without getting hit by a bus.
This reminded me of another good kitchen story. I was staying in a corporate apartment managed by my company and when I first went to get some water, I couldn't figure out how to turn on the faucet. There were no obvious nobs or pulls. I played with the tap and found it a little loose (from others trying to turn it on as well?) but still no way to turn it on. In the end, a colleague had to show me. Turns out it was a screw at the bottom...for which you had to use both hands! The best part of the story? I work for a company that specializes in intuitive design.
They didn't think to add a little "c" next to the temp?? Even my car does that when it reads outside temp. I thought that little design puzzle had already been solved. Cool looking...even if "form follows function" axiom perhaps lacking.
Another perfect example is BMW's 1st generation iDrive a few years ago. Many didn't know whether to describe it mind-boggling or a nightmare.

Has anyone had success configuring SNMP v3 in Junos. I've confgured it on our SRX 3600 and EX 4200 switches, but am unable to add the devices in SolarWinds or SNMP MIB Walk them with any of our SNMP tools. I recieve authentication errors.

Thank You,
Hello there,
I'd suggest to do a SNMPv3 packet capture and then try to decode it in Wireshark which supports DES and MD5 (Edit->Preferences->Protocols->SNMP->User table).
Also, are You sure You copied the local engine-id verbatim into Your NMS settings? The SNMPv3 encryption is based on shared-key+local engine-id. Do "show snmp v3" on the router to confirm the local engine-id.
Thank you Alex. I will try your suggestions and let you know how it goes.
Best Regards,
I am also trying to configure SNMP v3.
I have followed similar configuration as posted and i keep getting the "unknown engine ids" error message.
This is lab environment and i am using solarwinds toolset v9 SNMP MIB Browser which supports SNMP v3.
I have no idea where to put the "engine-id" information in this software.
Can anyone help?
Hi Hazeen et al,
Unless you're being very security conscious you shouldn't need to enter the SNMP Engine ID into your NMS (Solarwinds). Instead, each time the NMS connects it will ask for an SNMP Engine ID from the remote host and then compare the Engine ID to the local database. If it's not found, the NMS will just start to use the discovered Engine ID. If it is found, some checks are done against the agent uptime and number of boots to ensure authenticity/sync.
In general:

snmpwalk -v3 -l authpriv -u <username> -X <privacy password> -A <auth password> <devicename>
