Today's Minister's Wife
We Look Forward to Seeing You at Significant Love
Welcome to Today's Minister's Wife. I am excited about the energy that this community will create for women in a ministry marriage to dialogue, share and bless each other.
For five years, Today's Minister's Wife was published as a print newsletter. The idea of the newsletter came from my late mother, Dr. Weptanomah Washington Carter. In the planning for one of her Today's Minister's Wife conferences, she had a vision to start a newsletter for ministers' wives. She was motivated to develop a vehicle for communication between minister's wives.
During our five years of print publication it became obvious that our largest growing audience was online readers. In order to make prime use of resources and reach even more readers a prayerful decision was made to commit to an online format.
Feel free to share feedback on this new site because Today's Minister's Wife is for all of us as we keep running, "looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith."

Education Instructor, Kathryn Metz, talks about teaching the history of rock and roll to a Guatemalan school - from 2,000 miles away
I never expected to be teaching the history of rock and roll to kids in Guatemala, but recently it became part of my job description. Now I can confidently say that I teach students from all over the world about the importance of rock and roll and how it impacts our lives, from listening technology to social consciousness. In fact, Guatemala was the fifth country (in addition to Mexico, Canada, England and Australia) outside of the United States that our videoconferencing program, On the Road, has reached. Yesterday, I taught one of the Rock Hall's most popular distance learning classes, Great Moments in Rock and Roll: Popular Music Through the Decades, to the Instituto Experimental de la Asunción, an all girls private school in Guatemala City. The students were studying advanced English conversation and composition, and yesterday they put their skills to the test in the perfect setting of a survey class that gives a brief social and musical history of the 1950s through the 1980s. After students chose between two videos for each decade (between Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, for example, or between Michael Jackson and Run-D.M.C.), we talked about why each moment was a great one in rock and roll history.
They were amazing. These young Guatemalan students were bright and articulate, and their English was outstanding. I'm fluent in Spanish and anticipated having to help them out with tough vocabulary words or verb conjugations, but they held their own. Their teacher, Angélica Rocha, followed our pre-connection lesson suggestions, and had them work in pairs to research other great moments in rock and how they tie to significant national and international events. Then they presented a power point-aided sing-along so that the class could practice English and learn new vocabulary. I was impressed with their great moments. One pair addressed the climate of post-World War II America through the example of RRHOF Inductee Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" (1954). Another discussed how Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry" described Jamaica's survival in an increasingly globalizing world.
It was so exciting to see these young women make tremendous social and popular connections in another language about an art form that clearly resonates with them. I was thrilled and honored to be a part of their learning experience, and I look forward to our fall connection when I'll be teaching Grandes momentos, which is the same class but taught in Spanish to a group of language arts students. I really can't wait and I also can't believe that I get to do this – that I get to teach such motivated students at home and abroad about the continual significance of this art form that I love to teach.

Morhipo ads and how MovieType saved my skin
I remember the first time John from Motionworks shown me a beta version of MovieType. Pretty cool – I remember saying – I'm sure it will be useful to the people who do lots of 3D text, but not really something I would use in my projects.
While I was certainly impressed with both the idea and the implementation of MovieType, I really did not think I'd ever have any need for it. My motion pieces rarely, if ever, use 3D typography. I may throw an After Effects 3D text layer here and there, but that's pretty much it.
And then came the Morhipo.com gig.

Grinnell, IA - Author Danielle McGuire will deliver a Black History Month lecture titled "At the Dark End of the Street: Sexual Violence and the Civil Rights Movement—A New History," at Grinnell College, Wed., Feb. 23, at 4:15 p.m. in Alumni Recitation Hall, Room 302.
McGuire's lecture is based on her first book, "At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape, and Resistance—A New History of the Civil Rights Movement from Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power," published last year. In 2006, McGuire, who is assistant professor of history at Wayne State University, published the essay "It Was Like We Were All Raped: Sexualized Violence, Community Mobilization and the African American Freedom Struggle" in the "Best Essays in American History" anthology.
Burling Library will also host a Black History Month event featuring the college's Black Library. The Feb. 9 event at 8 p.m. in Burling Library on Grinnell's central campus will explore the 1970s student actions that led to the creation of the Black Library, a collection focused on African American culture and history.
The Black History Month events are co-sponsored by Concerned Black Students; the Departments of History and Sociology; the Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies Program; Grinnell College Libraries; Intercultural Student Affairs; and the Office of Diversity and Achievement. Grinnell welcomes the participation of people with disabilities. If accommodations are needed, please contact the event's sponsoring organization as soon as possible to make a request.

I am always amazed on how many different varieties of licorice that exist out there. Living in the United States, you really don't see that many, as it's not a popular candy here, for reasons I don't quite understand. Walk into any store that imports candy from Europe and you start to get an idea of how extremely popular and diverse a candy it really is. These Tappsy licorice candies are not only different from other varieties I've had before, they're also more creative. I've seen licorice in animal shapes before, fish and cats come right to mind. But panda faces? Really? This is certainly new territory.
So what are these Panda faces made of? Well, aside from the accents of black licorice to define the features, the white part is a soft, gummi "foam". It's chewy, yet not very dense. It reminds me of the "cream" part in many gummies you find here in the USA, like the white part of those blue gummi sharks you see everywhere.
The flavor is really nice, and not as delicate as I imagined. Depending on the piece you got, as there were pieces that had the base of black licorice accented with the white foam, and others visa versa. The white foam is lightly sweet and is a little marshmallow-y in flavor, a light vanilla flavor accented by a starchiness. The licorice is lovely with delicate herbal notes and a wonderful rich molasses base to it. They two parts blend beautifully and I found myself very tempted to keep eating these one after another.
I definitely recommend these if you love black licorice and you are looking for something new. I was wonderfully surprised with these! Yay, pandas are yummy!

ZF-5372: Wrong SQL generation in Zend_Db_Select::joinUsing()
The SQL generated by Zend_Db_Select::joinUsing() when joining by an array of columns is totally broken.
Sample code to reproduce:
$db = Zend_Db::factory('Pdo_Mysql', array('dbname' => 'test', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => ''));
$select = new Zend_Db_Select($db);
$select->from('table_A')->joinUsing('tableB', array('col_one', 'col_two'));
// Outputs:
// SELECT `table_A`.*, `tableB`.* FROM `table_A` INNER JOIN `tableB` ON `tableB`.Array = `table_A`.Array
echo (string) $select;
Notice the columns being used on the ON clause: ON
tableB.{color:red}Array{color} =
table_A.{color:red} Array{color}
This is a quick patch that solves the issue:

It would be better if the generated SQL was using
USING though.
It isn't a bug but an improvement because joinUsing wasn't designed to function with an array.
So may I ask what's the purpose of the joinUsing family of methods? I fail to see their usefulness.
Well then I would suggest to complete remove it, it serves no purpose: a) It does not generate a USING clause (see [http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-3792]). b) It does not simplify code by mapping a column-list array into the proper AND'ed expressions (like what this issue is about).
I would then label this bug as a design bug, but a bug nevertheless.
I understand what you want, but this is the phpDoc associated to _joinUsing:
* Handle JOIN... USING... syntax
* This is functionality identical to the existing JOIN methods, however
* the join condition can be passed as a single column name. This method
* then completes the ON condition by using the same field for the FROM
* table and the JOIN table.
* $select = $db->select()->from('table1')
* ->joinUsing('table2', 'column1');
* // SELECT * FROM table1 JOIN table2 ON table1.column1 = table2.column2
* These joins are called by the developer simply by adding 'Using' to the
* method name. E.g.
* * joinUsing
* * joinInnerUsing
* * joinFullUsing
* * joinRightUsing
* * joinLeftUsing
* @return Zend_Db_Select This Zend_Db_Select object.
Perhaps, joinUsing isn't a good name for this function ;).
Thanks for showing me the "fine print" ;)
How can I help to fix it? The patch in the issue (massaging parameter $cond) at least gives some utility to the method(s) IMO. Don't you agree?
After further checking, the implementation of joinUsing() is broken in another way too: table aliases are not being respected!
$select->from(array('a' => 'table_a'))
->joinUsing(array('b' => 'table_b'), 'col_X');
You would assume the generated SQL to be:
SELECT `a`.*, `b`.* FROM `table_a` AS `a` INNER JOIN `table_b` AS `b` ON `b`.col_X = `a`.col_X
But you would be wrong, the actual SQL generated is:
SELECT `a`.*, `b`.* FROM `table_a` AS `a` INNER JOIN `table_b` AS `b` ON `table_b`.col_X = `a`.col_X
Here is the less intrusive patch I could think of that solves this second problem:
Index: Zend/Db/Select.php

$dot = strrpos($name,'.');
The following join method in 1.7.5 still generates wrong SQL code

Any news here?
bq. Any news here?
Yes there are - fixed in trunk, see ZF-3309
@[~danielb] The table alias problem is being worked on in ZF-3309. The currently-agreed-upon solution is very similar to what you have proposed.
However, the original issue reported in this ticket has not been resolved. @[~ralph]: Is this something we want to add in ZFv1 at this stage? ie:
$select->from('table_A')->joinUsing('tableB', array('col_one', 'col_two'));

// SELECT `table_A`.*, `tableB`.* FROM `table_A` INNER JOIN `tableB` ON `tableB`.col_one = `table_A`.col_one AND `tableB`.col_two = `table_A`.col_two

Benvenutis Hat Trick Key in Field Hockeys 7-1 Win at Dartmouth
Sophomore Teresa Benvenuti recorded her first career hat trick to guide the No. 6 Princeton field hockey team to a 7-1 victory over Dartmouth on the road to open Ivy League play Saturday afternoon.
The win improves the Tigers to 4-1, 1-0 Ivy as they head to No. 5 Syracuse (6-1, 0-1 ACC) for a Sunday 3 p.m. meeting live on ESPN3.
Benvenuti put Princeton up 1-0 two minutes into the match and added insurance goals in the second half, including converting on a penalty stroke in the 45th minute. The defender is 2-0 all-time in strokes, making her first in the NCAA semifinals versus Maryland in overtime last year.
Allison Evans made it a 2-0 game at the 18:10-minute mark on a redirect from Cat Caro. The junior striker also had a multi-goal outing, scoring her second in the 27th minute off a Benvenuti assist.
Caro made her first career assist versus the Big Green and she went on to finish with a pair.
Dartmouth, the only Ivy opponent to score against the Tigers in 2012, prevented Princeton from earning the clean sheet by scoring on its first shot on goal in the 20th minute off a penalty corner.
That would be the closest the score would be for the remainder of the match, as the Tigers went on to score four unanswered goals in the second half.
Followed by consecutive Benvenuti goals, Maddie Copeland and Annabeth Donovan each found the back of the cage. Donovan's goal in the 57th minute was the first of her career.
Princeton held advantages in shots, 24-5, shots on goal, 16-3, and corners, 13-3. Tiger goalkeeper Anya Gersoff (2-0) made two saves in her complete game victory to Dartmouth's nine.

Food & Wine's annual best new chef list is one of the most coveted honors in American chef-dom and our own Pham and Brown, co-owners and chefs at Forage, are on the 2011 list.
That means they'll be cover-boys for the magazine, stars at the big deal Aspen Food & Wine Classic in June (consumer admission $1095; best new chefs dinner ticket $250) and that they probably have a ticket out of Utah to work in the bigtime any time they want.
Here's hoping they stay right here.
Congratulations to Viet and Bowman!!
But also, congratulations to Utah diners, whose palates recognized the talent here and supported it. Chefs can't live without diners.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DesignerKim Nice table I ordered two of these to flank my sofa. I wanted something narrow since the space is limited and these are perfect. They styling is very classic but up to date. The screws were a bit rough thus difficult, but with some work they went in. The quality is nice, not fancy, but could pass for fancy. July 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NCkyola Perfect little table I am a firm believer that every seat in a family/living room should have a spot to set down a nice drink (or book, mag or anything else). This little golden gem is perfect for the space I needed to fill. I had been looking at this table for a while; when it first caught my eye, I thought it would be a great entry console or small buffet table - until I looked at the dimensions. It clearly could NOT serve as either. But it is still such a good looking piece so I just kept coming back to it. When I actually had a chance to see it in the store a few days ago, I quickly snagged it. It's sitting perfectly between 2 chairs - for the lady and gent of the home. PERFECT! July 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by averageShopper Good side table but a bit short The table is nice as a side table. It is pretty short though. But I purchased it for $25 so it was okay for that amount of money. I like the color of the wood, but wish the gold color was a bit more yellow and brighter. It was fairly easy to assemble. September 25, 2013

Anyone who has driven in a car with me knows I listen to one of two stations on my radio: 90.7 FM (for NPR) and 104.1 FM. If you're like me you're familiar with the "Beer of the Week" segment on 'SBK Live' on 104.1 FM every Friday at 10 p.m. – it's infuriating to some and comical to others. It's both to me at times. I was hollering like a loon down at the segment's sponsor bar, McRaney's Tavern, a few weeks back over the poor score given by SBK, Cabin Boy and Angel for a Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA. Guest judge Curtis Earth was a touch more fair but it caused quite a stir in my beer snob circle.
So I'm excited to announce I'll be on the show Friday night to defend good beer and try to keep you beer snobs at bay another week (I like the SBK crew and I don't want you causing them bodily harm). To be honest, I hang with beer snobs but I'm not necessarily one myself, I'm just a lover of beer in general. Which means you may actually catch me with a Left Hand Milk Stout one minute and a Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry the next.
Uh, oh. On second thought, I may not be as big of a help to them as I thought. But you should still tune in.

CHICAGO, Ill. – The No. 17 University of Arizona gymnastics team defeated Illinois-Chicago, 194.750-190.000 in the season opener Saturday evening. The Cats took five event titles, including ties with UIC in bars.
"We have a really good team – a very experienced team," head coach Bill Ryden said. "They did a great job for their first time out. For three events we were on cloud nine. It's nice to do okay but we should have been close to a 196.000. But overall, we had a lot of good performances. A lot of people came through in the clutch, including our freshmen. "
The Cats began the afternoon on bars, earning a team total of 48.700.
"Overall, we are a very talented bars team. It was our first event of the year. Taking that score on bars was good."
Junior Allie Flores led the team with a 9.800 score on bars. Flores tied for first place in the event. Sophomore Lexi Mills and freshman Krysten Howard provided the team with two scores of 9.750. Also making contributions were senior Jordan Williams and Gabby Laub with scores of 9.725 and 9.675, respectively.
The Cats continued onto vault for the second event of the evening and scored a team total of 48.975. Arizona had the top three scores on vault with Kristin Klarenbach, Edwards and Williams.
"We feel like we have a vault team that should score over 49.000 every time and we were very close to that tonight," Ryden said. "We made a lot of changes in the line-up before the meet began."
Leading the team on vault were junior Klarenbach and sophomore Shelby Edwards each with a score of 9.850. Williams added to the mix with a 9.800. Making a debut in the vault line-up was sophomore Jessie Sisler who scored a 9.750. Freshman Mackenzie Valentin began her vaulting career with a 9.725.
With a running score of 97.675, the Cats continued to their third rotation, floor.
Klarenbach led the team with a 9.900. Sisler and Williams added a pair of 9.850 scores. Flores and Sangston also provided scores of 9.800 and 9.775, respectively.
"It looks like once again floor is going to be our best event," Ryden said. "Obviously, Kristin Klarenbach showing up here with a 9.900 on the road – what else can you say? She's been great."
The final on floor for the Cats was 49.175. Arizona earned the event title with top-three finishes from Klarenbach, Williams and Sisler.
Despite three falls on beam, Arizona was able to pull-through on the final event of the meet with a score of 47.900.
"You have to be able to bring it home," Ryden said. "The thing is to have a really good meet going and then have three falls on beam, we expect more from ourselves than that. We are going to have to regroup, figure out what went wrong and make the changes in practice."
On beam, Williams won the title event with a score of 9.850. Edwards took second with a 9.825. Wobma added a score of 9.700 for the Cats. Mills earned a score of 9.275 and both Flores and Sisler provided a pair of 9.250 scores.
Williams was the only all-around competitor for the Wildcats. In her first meet of the season, Williams won the all-around title by a margin of 0.175.
"I'm very proud of Jordan (Williams)," Ryden said. "She had a great start and a great meet."
From here, Arizona will travel to No. 6 Stanford for a tri-meet including Sacramento State on Sunday, Jan. 19 at 3 p.m. MST. For continued coverage of Arizona Gymnastics, follow the team at facebook.com/ArizonaGymnastics and on Twitter @AZGymnastics.

President Scrimshaw Among Authors of New Lancet Commission Report on Global Health Education
Report published in The Lancet, a leading global medical journal, asserts current education for the health professions will not work in the 21st Century
Susan C. Scrimshaw, Ph.D, president of The Sage Colleges and a global public health expert, is one of the authors of an important global health education report published today by The Lancet, a leading global medical journal.
The report, "Health professionals for a new century: transforming education to strengthen health systems in an interdependent world," was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and China Medical Board, and prepared by a global independent commission on Education of Health Professionals for the 21st Century, of which Scrimshaw was invited to be a member.
The Commission consists of 20 professional and academic leaders from diverse countries who convened to develop a shared vision and common strategy for postsecondary education in medicine, nursing, and public health that transcends national borders and individual professions.
The report was launched at a Harvard School of Public Health symposium on the same topic Nov. 30 - Dec. 1 involving the members of the Commission, educators, scientists and researchers.
The report asserts that "Redesign of professional health education is necessary and timely, in view of the opportunities for mutual learning and joint solutions offered by global interdependence due to acceleration of flows of knowledge, technologies and financing across borders, and the migration of both professionals and patients."
"The result would be an enlightened new professionalism that can lead to better services and consequent improvements in the health of patients and populations."
Scrimshaw, who attended the symposium, says, "This report strongly recommends a radical transformation in health professions education and in how health care is delivered, taking the science base originally recommended by Flexner, adding competency based education and practice as occurred 30 years ago, and then adding creativity, teamwork, prevention, and community based population health skills. This will not be easy, but is critical to the future health of populations throughout the world. If not, we will not only continue to see a reverse in health status, but we will increasingly rob all other areas of society to pay for health."
To speak to Dr. Scrimshaw, contact communications director Shannon Ballard Gorman at 518-244-3142 (office) or 518-321-5777 (cell).

Answer:I know they used to sell a large size, but now they don't. I balked at purchasing it for the same reason, but knew it would be the perfect gift for hard to buy for family. It absolutely can hold more than 6 beverages of normal size, for example beers and sodas. I just gave it as a gift, and we took it out of the box to see it set up and I am sure it can hold what the picture shows.

Farmer's Wife—Lessons Learned In Week 6
Then along came the Broken Dishes block, resulting in unpleasant flashbacks to Birds In the Air. And I thought, no, I simply cannot and will not template another 32 triangles. So I pieced them like I usually do with HSTs. And you know what? Birds In the Air (templated) came together a lot better and more easily than Broken Dishes (not templated). My points just aren't aligned as well as they could be in this most recent block. And I'm not sure my method resulted in much time savings anyway, since I still had to trim the HSTs.
So once again, I'm convinced that the templates really are the way to go. This block is a pain no matter which way you do it—I might as well do it the "real" way, right? In the future, I really will stick to templating. Cross my heart this time. No more short-cuts.
I used the templates on this week's other block, Broken Sugar Bowl (what's with all the broken things this week?), and I'm really happy with this one.
Here's the thing (and it only took me 6 weeks to figure this out): When I use the templates, I've found that the vast majority of the work is in the cutting. These blocks generally don't take more than 15 or 20 minutes to piece, once the cutting is done. Something I have to keep in mind when I'm tempted to get lazy about those darn templates.

Your blocks are looking really great. I have not used the templates since my first attempt at Block 1. I have been using a combination of paper-piecing and freestyle. Glad you are finding a method that works best for you.

I'm really loving the colors of all your blocks. I think your Broken Dishes block is my favorite so far.

I completely agree about using the templates. In the end, I think my triangles look better when I use the templates, but they are a pain!
Yours are beautiful! I love the colors you're using!

Looking great Lee!

What's with all the broken things this week? The blocks in the book are in alphabetical order. :-)
BTW . . . either Marti Mitchell or EQ7 generated templates with "engineered" corners are even more FABULOUS for blocks that will come together well.

I have to get back to my quilt - I have the first 14 blocks done I need to prep another 3 or 4 today so they will be handy.

I'm right there with you - the templates are a pain, but they do make sense in the end of things! I love how your blocks are looking, and I see more of that sketch fabric that I'm swooning over in your blocks - yum! I especially dig your Broken Sugar Bowl thing (and seriously, where did these names come from!).

Your blocks look great! I'm actually enjoying the templates, just for a change. At least I'm not always second guessing my measurements like I usually do.

I was determined to use the templates as well. Mostly to keep in the "spirit" of the FW. But then last night I wanted to squeak out just 1 more block and I didn't have the template ready. But it was the bowtie block, surely I could do that without the template. Um, or not. The bouquet block with funky angles turned out perfectly (using templates), and I had to take the bowtie block apart to redo it b/c it was so bad!
Your blocks are so pretty! :)

- Live a Colorful Life said...
I totally get this. I was trying to "work" ahead for my Farmer's Wife Friday posts, and there was a block with rectangles. Rectangles don't need to be templated do they? Um, yes they do. Because one of the measurements was kind of funky. After trying to figure out the problem (thinking it was the triangles) and tearing it apart (twice!!), I am now remaking the whole block. With templates.

I've been using the templates from the beginning. I knew it was going to be more work but it would be worth it at the end. So far so good and since there really is not time line on completion, templates are the way to go.

|Andrew Sperling, Director of Legislative Advocacy
While the political pundits and partisan spinmeisters are still busy on television and on-line analyzing the 2010 election results, a few certainties are starting to emerge regarding how the repercussions this may play out in 2011 and beyond for people living with mental illness and their families. While the impact is far from certain, we can predict with some precision what the shift of partisan control in Congress will mean–both in terms of the Republicans taking over the House and the Democratic majority in the Senate being significantly reduced.
A few things we anticipate include:
Discretionary Spending Will Remain Flat in 2011 and 2012
At minimum, the Obama Administration is expected to come forward with a flat budget proposal for fiscal year 2012 in February–with exceptions made for defense and veterans. The new House Republican majority is likely to go even further and seek to cut domestic discretionary programs back to fiscal year 2008 levels. This could mean as much as a 7 percent reduction for mental illness research at the National Institute of Mental Health–from $1.541 billion, down to $1.405 billion–ASSUMING the President relents and accepts cuts of this level to domestic spending.
The Increase in Federal Medicaid Payments (FMAP) Will Not Be Extended
In light of revenue shortfalls in almost all of the states, the federal government provided a temporary increase in the Federal share of Medicaid spending. which was scheduled to end on December 31, 2010 and extended until June 30, 2011, albeit at a reduced rate. The combination of concern over federal spending with the changes in Congress would suggest that chances of extending this federal support to states is unlikely to be extended again. Not a single House Republican voted for the higher FMAP last summer, so there is little expectation that the new majority would be supportive of extending higher FMAP any further in 2011.
It will be Difficult to Repeal Healthcare Reform
The political realities of repealing a law make this scenario very unlikely, principally because of President Obama's veto power. Another complication is that some parts of health care reform already in effect are pretty popular. Among them are provisions forcing insurers to cover children with pre-existing conditions and allowing parents to keep kids up to age 26 on their policies. That's why you hear so many pundits asserting that any potential rollbacks would be more piecemeal rather than a full-scale discard.
While we will likely see many proposals related to changing the healthcare reform law, most concerning for NAMI and people with mental illness will be efforts to scale back or delay the Medicaid expansion scheduled for 2014. As noted above, federal discretionary funding will not be growing and additional federal Medicaid assistance is unlikely. The consequences of these actions will put further pressure on state and county budgets, further eroding resources for publicly funded mental health services which are critical for many people who live with mental illness.
A more thorough analysis of what the election results might mean for people with mental illness will be published in the November edition of the NAMI e-Advocate. To subscribe, sign up for this monthly e-newsletter.

Whether in classic movies, antique stores, or attics, the sight of battered steamer trunks covered in travel stickers can inspire intense wanderlust.

For day trips and everyday commuting, our messenger bag is an ideal companion. Distressed, PET recycled poly fabric with faux leather accents and antique brass hardware looks like it's been around the world and back, but is strong enough to stand up to bumps and dings. The large main compartment is lined with fabric that features a map of the world, capturing the National Geographic spirit. The adjustable shoulder strap and top handle are cushioned for comfort. Padded inner pockets keep electronics safe and can hold a 17" laptop.

Gardening Articles: Health :: Houseplants
Fuchsia Flair
by Joseph F. Williamson
I have had the good fortune to live my entire life in the heart of North America's magnificent fuchsia land: the mild-winter, cool-summer, at- or near-sea-level climates of California, Oregon, and Washington. In these climates (USDA Hardiness Zones 9 through 10, west of the deserts and the Sierra Cascades), fuchsias seem almost incapable of failing, and unless their keepers neglect to supply one of the plants' requirements, fuchsias also seem incapable of mediocrity.
Fuchsia Origins
Fuchsias did not evolve in middle-latitude marine climates similar to the ones in our western America fuchsia land, or in fuchsia lands elsewhere: in France, Great Britain, Germany, Holland, much of coastal Australia, and New Zealand. No, the native regions of F. fulgens and F. corymbiflora, two of the three main ancestors of today's showy garden forms (F. hybrida), are in high elevations (3,000 to 9,000 feet) closer to the equator: 11? to 23? South. The third important ancestor originated near the cold-winter tip of South America, at 53? to 55? South. That predecessor, F. magellanica, is also the hardiest garden fuchsia that's widely grown today. If you live in a cold-winter area (the warmest parts of zone 6 for these tender beauties), one of the many varieties of this species is the fuchsia to try. For instance, F. magellanica 'Riccartonii' makes a handsome shrub or hedge, bedecked all summer and early fall with attractive, 1 1/2-inch, pendant red and purple flowers.
Growing Conditions
In mild climates, fuchsia plants thrive in their full range of forms: in hanging baskets or containers, or as 3- to 12-foot-high plants in the ground.
Fuchsias dislike consistently high temperatures. That makes them difficult to grow wherever sweet corn flourishes, because sweet corn begs for the same hot nights that make fuchsias collapse. During the growing season, fuchsias prefer temperatures in the 60° to 75°F range.
Also, fuchsias need light shade, not too much direct sun, and not much wind. They respond happily to generous irrigation from rain or from a garden sprinkler, but very high humidity does not benefit them. Their soil must be permeable and rich in humus, with a pH between 6 and 7.
Away from the West Coast, fuchsia cultivation varies from somewhat to considerably more difficult. The unfavorable climate factors are summers that are too hot (temperatures over 80° to 85°F), and winters that are too cold. Once daytime temperatures reach the low 40s, most fuchsias lose their leaves. Below freezing many die, and at 20°F, very few of the more than 600 hybrids can survive. Below 0°F, none survive.
Many gardeners in these unfavorable climates get around the fuchsia's petulance about hot nights by treating the plant as a one-season outdoor performer. They buy a fuchsia in a container (hanging or standing) in April or May, enjoy its myriad blooms until the very hot summers defeat the plant, and then they compost it. Or, from early summer to fall, they keep them from the heat in an east- or west-facing window, a shady porch, or other protective structure.
Some varieties definitely can take more heat than most. See the descriptions of 14 favorite varieties (below), or check nurseries, catalogs, or books.

You know what would be cool? Superhuman intelligence. To walk into a room like Dr. House or Sherlock Holmes and show everyone your brain works twice as fast as theirs. Unfortunately, we can't turn you into a genius -- genetics and the public school system have already tried and failed. But what we can do is teach you all the tricks you need to seem like one.
Because with very little practice, you can ...
Note: Look, we know you're already all a bunch of geniuses -- that's why you read Cracked. You know all about college, the ruthless job market, and even know a trick or two about evading billionaire assassins. But we know that you, like all geniuses, are always looking for that extra edge. Which is why we dug up this Cracked Classic, so that you can use these tricks to augment your raw brilliance with ... well, we don't wanna say "tricks," per se, so uh ... lies? Lies sounds good. Happy lying! -Cracked
5 Become a Speed Reader
When pop culture is tasked with presenting us characters who speak 17 languages, know way too much about far too many subjects, and/or are insufferably intelligent in general, speed reading tends to be the go-to skill to display their talent. In the classic "he's secretly a genius" movie Good Will Hunting, they make sure to show Will alone in his barren apartment with a huge stack of books, rapidly flipping pages of dense text like he's casually browsing through a SkyMall catalog. Anybody who can absorb information that fast is either a genius or a robot, right?
Or the text is just really large.
Well, here's good news for the vast majority of people who aren't Mensa-brained but want to appear to be: An ability to read quickly doesn't require a genius IQ, even if it will fool people at parties into thinking you have one. Anyone and their aunt can learn to speed read in a matter of minutes.
Provided you already know how to read (in which case, hi!), then you already have the ability to speed read. The training simply involves getting rid of the flaws that slow you down. For instance, your eyes naturally move in jerky twitches that make you skip backward and reread text due to periodically losing your place (you don't notice it, but 30 percent of your time spent reading is wasted because of this). Fixing that is as simple as practicing reading with a "tracker" -- just using a pen or something to follow the text as you read it, forcing your eyes to keep moving forward. Next, you time yourself. Find out how long it takes you to get through a few lines at your normal speed, and then set a timer. This time, give yourself twice as much text to read in the same span.
"OK, now read the entire Harry Potter series in eight minutes ... go!"
Keep doing it -- you'll be amazed at how fast you pick it up. Your brain can easily handle it; you've just been reading wrong all this time. The problem is subvocalization. Whether you realize it or not, we all "say" the words aloud in our head, as if we were reading a bedtime story to our own brain. This is what makes what we view as "normal" reading speed so gosh darn slow: Your eyes can totally buzz across those lines 300 percent quicker while still delivering the same information, but your thoughts insist on dragging their feet as they bumble along, painstakingly thinking each and every word "out loud" inside your head. Using the timer to force yourself to go faster will also force you to stop subvocalizing. Yep -- as always, the only thing keeping you back are the voices in your head.
Once you get over the panic of reading without them, you'll suddenly be able to read fast enough to make strangers think you're a prodigy, even though in reality you spent the entire previous afternoon trying to light your own farts.
And the entire previous evening Googling the phrase "cauterized asshole."
