On tonight's MTV episode of "House of Food," where seven untrained culinary students live together in a house while being trained by three of the country's best chefs, one and only one, will earn the apprenticeship of a lifetime. It will not be easy, as the training will be tough and the chefs are even tougher. Viewers have already seen how these ethnically and culturally diverse people do not get along, as they compete each week.
As the episode begins, the entire group goes sightseeing in Hollywood, with an extra peppy tour guide. Will asked her if she was drunk, but she did not answer him. As they rode on the top of the double-decker bus, the low-lying branches of the trees were coming too close as a few were hit several times. After the tour, they decided to go out to a bar. But after having words with Suki, Harrison had a few choice things to say about Suki, who overheard him, and decided not to go with the rest of the gang. Surprisingly, Will did go, leaving her alone.
When they came back, Harrison could not stop ranting about how he felt that Suki was fake and tried to rattle him because he was the new guy, asking him if he was gay, if he could cook and just annoying him. He even told Will that he knew he would tell her what he said, but he promised not to tell.
The next day they were working on knife skills with their culinary coach, Chris Nirschel. The practiced julienne cut, making matchstick size pieces. Suddenly, a shouting match between Suki and Harrison erupted, until Chris called time out and had a talk with each of them.
In his room, Harrison was cooling off, when Brian and Jake came to see him. Brian told him that Suki was trying to run the house all along, but being new, he was not used to her antics. He said that he was embarrassed for the way he acted in front of everyone, especially Chris.
Later, the group was taken to the beach; Jake is from Kansas and never saw an ocean before. As they sat around the campfire, Chef Brooke told them their lesson was cooking with heat. They put oysters on the flame of the grill until they sizzled and popped open. Will enjoyed seeing Lorena get spat at by the oysters when they popped open. Amanda never had oysters before and thought it was disgusting. Brooke then put a whole split salmon on the grill adding herbs and butter inside. Brian made Harrison eat a fish eye, as they each had one, the rest of them shuddered. As they watched the sunset over the ocean, it was a sight, few of them had seen before. Brooke told them she was coming over to the house to show them other methods of cooking using different types of heat. When they returned to the house, Amanda moved her bed into Will and Suki's room to be with them.
Harrison went to apologize to Suki and told her he was sorry for his bad behavior. She appreciated his apology, but did not accept it; she first had to calm down. He promised never to say another bad word about her. While Suki was on the balcony with Will and Amanda, she told them about the apology, but Will stated that he was a slime ball and had bad vibes about him from the get go.
Brooke returned to give them the next lesson about heat. Starting with steaming, then pan-roasting, and finishing with frying. She put clams in a pot to steam, and they started opening immediately. She added two different wines and made a broth that was delicious. For pan-roasting, she had salmon and showed them how to crisp the skin. The last lesson was frying. She was making fried Twinkies with a raspberry compote; they all agreed it was delicious.
For their assignment, she was dividing the group into, steaming, roasting, frying and grilling. The winner of the challenge will have dinner at her restaurant and invite two friends. For steaming, she chose Brian & Suki. Gillian & Lorena will be grilling; Jake & Amanda will be pan-roasting, and frying will be Harrison & Will.
The next morning, Amanda and Suki went to get their nails done, because they needed to trim them for the competition. Back in the house, Harrison tried to apologize again, as she listened, he told her if he had any problems with her, he would come and talk it out.
The night before the challenge, they were doing their prep work. The competition will take place in Brooke's restaurant, and each one wants to win. As they cooked their food, some tasted each other's dishes. Will still hates Harrison and wants to beat him badly.
The next day, at the restaurant the three instructors were awaiting the judging. One chef from each group would be chosen and from them, the clear winner will be crowned. The reward will be dinner at Brooke's restaurant that night with two friends. Jake and Amanda were up first to start pan-roasting. Jake's pan was not hot enough, and his fish stuck to it. Amanda's potatoes were too runny, and she had to start over. In the end, Amanda won. Next up were Gillian and Lorena, who were grilling and Gillian was the clear winner. Harrison and Will were frying, but Will was criticizing Harrison's choice from every angle. Had Harrison executed his dish better, he would have won, but Will won by default. Brian was the clear winner as Suki's dish, she was told by Chef Bryan looked like she put no effort into it at all. Suki agreed that she did put little effort into her dish. She made a vow that it would never happen again.
The winners were called out and the two chosen by the chefs were Gillian and Brian. Each had to state why they thought they should win, but Brian was the clear winner with method, presentation and taste.
Brian brought Gillian and Jake with him to the restaurant, and they ate like royalty. However, as the episode ended, one can only wonder what lies ahead for this group, and if peace will reign in the "House of Food."

McConaughey at his best!!! Sahara really got me into his movies, action, grit, cunning and a little humour. In this film we see a darker side, a more survival inspired character with flaws. A character that grows and matures and becomes a likable rogue the whole time remaining in mystery. The younger actors do a brilliant job alongside the bigger stars, really is one of McConaugheys best yet!!!

Curriculum & Requirements
Bowdoin students are required to declare their major in the spring of their sophomore year. In February, the English department hosts an informational meeting for new majors.
The English Department does not have any one specific course, or set of specific courses, that all majors/minors must take. Instead, majors and minors make their choices from a wide variety of courses at the first-year seminar, 1100-, 2000-, and 3000-level. Each year, the English Department offers a reasonable number of courses at each of these levels. Typically, we offer more than five first-year seminars, several 1100-level courses, and three or four 3000-level seminars a year. The rest of our courses are at the 2000-level. Because our majors must take at least three courses in literature written in English before 1800, each semester we offer three or four courses that will satisfy this requirement (these may be at the 2000- or 3000-level).
The Major in English and American Literature
The Major in English with Concentration in Creative Writing
The Minor in English and American Literature
Major/Minor Grade Policy
The Major in English and Theater
Off-Campus Study Policy
The Major in English and American Literature
The major requires a minimum of ten courses.
Each student must take one first-year seminar (English 1000–1049) or introductory course (English 1100–1999), either of which will serve as a prerequisite to further study in the major.
At least three of the ten courses must be chosen from offerings in literature written in English before 1800. These are courses in Old English and Medieval literature, Renaissance literature, and the literature of the Restoration and the eighteenth century. The individual courses that satisfy this requirement are identified by a note in the course description. Only one of these three courses may be a Shakespeare drama course, and only one may be a Chaucer course. Only one transfer course may count toward this requirement.
Also, each student must take at least one intermediate seminar (English courses numbered 2000-2049) and one advanced seminar in the department (any English course numbered 3000–3999). Students may, when appropriate, also count these seminars toward one of the requirements listed above. Transfer credits will not count for the advanced seminar requirement.
The remaining courses may be selected from the foregoing and/or first-year seminars; Introductory or Advanced Creative Writing; intermediate or advanced Literary Analysis (numbered 2000 or higher); Independent Study; and Advanced Independent Study/Honors (numbered 4000–4029).
No more than two courses may come from the department's roster of first-year seminars and introductory courses; no more than two creative writing courses will count toward the major. As one of two courses outside the department, one upper-level course in cinema studies may be counted toward the major; ENGL 1060, ENGL 1070, and courses in expository writing, journalism, and communication are not eligible for major credit.
Credit toward the major for advanced literature courses in another language, provided that the works are read in that language, must be arranged with the chair.
Majors who are candidates for honors must write an honors essay and take an oral examination in the spring of their senior year.
The Major in English with Concentration in Creative Writing
English majors with a concentration in creative writing must satisfy the requirements for the major, including an introductory-level and an intermediate- or advanced-level creative writing course in a single genre (poetry or fiction), and an additional elective course in creative writing. Two of these creative writing courses may be the two allowed within the ten courses required for the major, with an additional creative writing course above the ten required (for a total of eleven courses.)
The Minor in English and American Literature
The minor requires five courses in the department, including one first-year seminar (English 1000–1049) or introductory course (English 1100–1999). At least three of the remaining four courses must be numbered 2000 or higher. No more than one creative writing course may count toward the minor. ENGL 1060, ENGL 1070, and courses in expository writing, film, communication, or journalism will not count toward the minor. Students may not apply transfer credits to the minor.
Major/Minor Grade Policy
Courses that will count toward the major and minor must be taken for a grade (not Credit/D/Fail), and students must earn grades of C- or better in these courses.
The Major in English and Theater
The interdisciplinary major in English and Theater focuses on the dramatic arts, broadly construed, with a significant emphasis on the critical and embodied study of drama and literature.
Students of English and theater may blend introductory and advanced course work in both fields, while maintaining flexibility in the focus of their work. Students who decide to take this major are encouraged to work with advisors in both fields. Honors theses in English and theater are listed as honors in both departments. Students completing an honors project should be guided by faculty in both fields. Students wishing to study abroad are allowed to count two courses in approved study away programs toward the requirements for the major.
Course requirements for the English/Theater major:
1. An English first-year seminar or introductory course (1100–1999).
2. One introductory theater course (1100–1999).
3. One course from English on drama before 1800, such as English 1115, English 2200, or the equivalent in English or another department.
4. One course in modern drama, such as English 2452, 2654, or the equivalent in English or another department.
5. One advanced course in theater (3000–3999), and one advanced English seminar (3000–3999).
6. One elective in English at the intermediate level (2000–2899).
7. One elective in theater or dance at the intermediate level (2000-2999).
8. Any three additional courses in theater.
Off-Campus Study Policy
The English department encourages its students to study abroad for a part of their junior year, particularly in programs that allow them to supplement the department's course offerings. Typical destinations for junior majors include schools in England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. With the help of department advisors, students should choose their study abroad programs carefully from the many options available in order to integrate their learning at Bowdoin and beyond. For more information about study-away programs, contact the Off-Campus Study office at Bowdoin.
English majors must meet with their advisors prior to studying away for pre-approval of their intended course of study and complete a registration of intent to study off-campus form to be signed by the chair of the department and returned to the Off-Campus Study office. Upon return from study-away, students must meet with the English department chair and complete a study-away approval form. Refer to the English department's guidelines for study-away courses.

Going back to nature is the term now growing in the Hindu healing system in Bali. More and more people are likely to choose the eco-friendly and affordable healing system. In addition, they also want to preserve the healing tradition inherited from the ancestors from time immemorial. So do not be surprised, if in Bali the eco-friendly healers appear in numbers.
Ida Ayu Rusmarini is one of them. The woman born November 9, 1960 is highly focused on herbal medicine, so she is worth calling a healer. Since her childhood she has a hobby of medicinal plants, reading palm-leaf manuscripts, planting herbs and finding out the function of unknown plants that have not had a name yet. Due to her hard work, she was able to identify a variety of Balinese herbs.
According to the wife of I Wayan Damai, the current life is much influenced by environmental pollution, namely the pollution of air, food and environment. She saw people suffered from many diseases. At first, it was contaminated by chemical substances and then it was resistant and unable to be handled medically. "I seek to utilize the polluted environment to be empowered to produce herbs," said Laboratory Subdivision Head of the Gianyar Environment Agency (BLH).
Formerly, our ancestors were rich with medicinal plants published through the palm-leaf manuscripts. "I think why we do not try it or do the same as our ancestors did. We do not have to be dependent on foreign products whereas our products are very useful. Even, they have been proved very accurate for the healing," said this mother of three children seriously.
The plants growing around us could serve as very efficacious drugs. For example, centella leaf or jatropha's twig could be used for healing blisters. Bignay fruit was efficacious for treating dengue fever because it contained vitamin C ten times as many. "Bignay is also great for roadside greening as it can absorb toxic substances through the leaves," said the greening instructor calmly.
Meanwhile, neem leaf was useful for capturing, serving as antidote and cleansing the kidneys. By consuming neem leaves continually every day, our kidneys would be clean. From her experience, she found many people being poisoned and resistant to chemical drugs. There were also many new diseases that could not be cured by medicine. "After returning to nature, they can get recovery. In essence, it is better for us to use trees, leaves, fruits and tubers as a drug," said the winner of Kehati Award 2012 for the category of Sustainable Care together with the Putri Toga Turus Lumbung of Puri Damai.
The woman living at Tunon hamlet, Singakerta village, Gianyar, looks like a traditional healer, but she has applied modern approach and practices. Patients come by bringing some offerings. Then, she prays to God and does reflection to know the type of their illness. After knowing the illness, she will know the medicine. "Lately, I deal with complicated cases related to the health of kidney, lung and diabetes," she said.

Echinopsis huascha from Argentina is a low clumping mounding cactus with lots of bright red flowers. Interestingly, as with so many other plants in the plant world, the colors vary naturally from one individual to another. Possibly because these were from seeds that were collected in different parts of Argentina, and possibly because they're just naturally variable. In fact if we want we could keep these two separate, pull apart all those stems, and call these by cultivar names. Shall we try E. huascha "Red Devil" and E. huascha "Blood Feud"? Does that capture the fullness of the different red colors? Maybe not.

Working effectively with clients
on matters of spirituality
MTSO presents a training workshop for clinical professionals
July 18, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Update: Four CEU have been approved, along with the previously approved four RCH.
Frank Buchman, the influential and controversial founder of the Oxford Group, compared addressing large groups to "chasing rabbits with a brass band." That seems an apt metaphor for some of the issues clinicians face when working with religious clients, or when discussing spirituality and a "higher power" with any clients.
We ask our clients to assess their spiritual growth and evaluate their sober supports, which may include a faith community. But what if it doesn't? Or, on the flip side, what if their expression of deep faith leads to uncomfortable proselytizing in a group setting?
We may shy away from discussions about God, and we may be uncomfortable talking with clients about the process of finding a higher power – even though we tell them they need to have one. It can be tempting to abdicate that subject to 12-step recovery groups, falling back on the phrase "God as you understand God." Yet we know we owe our clients a better approach.
So, how do we…
- Answer the question: Are 12-step groups religious?
- Affirm that a "higher power" doesn't need to involve the supernatural?
- Work with agnostic or atheist clients?
- Avoid alienating clients who are reluctant to discuss spirituality?
- Allow religious clients to discuss their faith without proselytizing?
This workshop, "Don't Chase Rabbits with a Brass Band: Working with Clients on the Spirituality Issue," will help professionals create a safe and welcoming environment for all of our clients. Additionally, it will offer strategies to encourage non-religious clients to find ways of connecting with a philosophically congruent world view supporting the principles of recovery.

No rating was attributed to this album because it is over 10 years old, and it would not be fair to judge it against today's standards.
Joining the ever-growing wave of lost album releases is likely the least anticipated of the lot, Dooley O's Watch My Moves 1990. While collectors salivate at the mere mention of Clear Blue Skies or The Best Part, the best response the Connecticut native's lost product might get are a raised eyebrow or a phony "Yeah, I think I've heard of him." Hoping to change that, Solid isn't banking on what is essentially a thirteen-year-old demo to win heads over; it's the history behind it that's the real selling point.
Though it will intrigue diggers and historians most, Dooley-O's story should still be of interest to casual fans once they realize classics like "Passin' Me By" and "Funky Child" (and countless others) can be traced back through Stezo's "It's My Turn" to the years-absent-but-now-available "Watch My Moves." The tale, like the songs mentioned, revolves around the "It's A New Day" drum sample, originally discovered by Dooley and Chris Lowe in a neighbor's basement. Their plans to use the break were thwarted by Dooley's cousin Stezo, who literally stole the record for his own use ("It's My Turn") without giving proper credit. After falling out with both Lowe and Stezo (they reconciled later) and signing a bad deal with Tav Dash Records, it seemed Dooley would be eternally condemned to the status of "local legend;" thirteen years later, the beginnings of what might have been a classic finally sees the light of day.
History aside, how does Watch My Moves 1990 actually sound? While the vocals are unpolished and subject matter varies ("Slaughter Session" and "Neighborhood Tramp" stand out for sheer tastelessness), the entire package comes off more raw than second-rate. Filled with recognizable breaks, it's obvious that Dooley had a great ear; where that might have placed his album among the likes of Fear of a Black Planet, People's Instinctive Travels, and the rest of '90′s finest will forever be up for debate (although it's not hard to imagine that a finished version would have compared favorably). In truth, the release of Watch My Moves 1990 is mainly meant to satisfy the curiosity of the few heads who have even heard of it; that it remains listenable to this day is a bonus and testament to the New Haven B-Boy's skills. Poised for a comeback in 2003, there may be chance yet to watch Dooley-O make moves – this time, we won't miss.

Creating a budget is absolutely the best way to keep yourself from running out of cash at the end of the month when you're still between paychecks. However, if you have an unexpected event come up in the middle of the month, it can be difficult to keep from overspending, and you might end up having to write a budget when you don't actually have enough cash to get you through. How do you go about doing this? Well, here's a scenario that will help you figure out how to stick to a new budget even when you don't have the money to actually make it to payday.
Let's say that you make right at $2,000 a month. Once you take out your rent, car payment, insurance payments, utilities, and other necessities, you don't have a whole lot of money left over. This month, though, right in the middle of the month, your car breaks down, and you have to pay $300 to get it fixed. Even though most of your major bills are already paid, you know that you have a utility bill coming due in the near future and that you also will have to buy groceries to get through until the end of the month.
What do you do?
First, you sit down and determine the absolute smallest amount of money that you can spend between now and your next paycheck. This should involve cutting out all extra expenses, such as morning lattes and your favorite coffee shop and eating out with friends. It can be tough, but it really must be done. You should factor in only things you need, such as your phone or utilities bill. Estimate how much groceries will cost you if you spend as little as you can on them.
You can save on groceries by buying from a discount store, cutting meat out of a few meals, and eating leftovers like it's your job. Then, determine if you have any way of making a little extra cash before your next payday. Maybe you can pick up an odd job shoveling sidewalks or raking leaves. If you're going to keep the situation from spiraling out of control, you shouldn't see anything as below you.
Let's say that once you've done all this, you still find that you're going to be about $100 short. Now, it's time to call in the backup. You can take out a payday loan to help you get through the rest of the month. The loan will have to be paid back as soon as your paycheck comes in, but it will be an easy way for you to get the money you need to survive the month. Keep in mind, though, that once you've gotten your payday loan, you won't be able to take out any extra money. Also, since that loan will come out of your next paycheck, you'll be $100 plus interest short of your typical monthly spending amount. This means that you'll also have to stick to a tight budget next month so that you can keep from getting into debt again.

Developing Student Competencies Through Film Clips
Developing Student Competencies Through Film Clips
Friday November 15, 2013
2011 Modern Languages Building
Event includes lunch, presentation and discussion. RSVP Here
Presented by Dr. Mark Kaiser, UC Berkeley
This presentation will make the case that film, and in particular clips cut from feature films, are an underutilized resource in the foreign language curriculum. In particular, I will discuss the potential of film as a resource to develop students' linguistic, communicative, cultural, semiotic and symbolic competencies, using examples from French, Russian, Japanese and Arabic films. The presentation will also serve as an introduction to the BLC's Library of Foreign Language Film Clips (LFLFC), a searchable, annotatable database of 15,500 film clips drawn from 415 films in 24 languages. The database is available free to faculty at other institutions (including the University of Michigan) through institutional agreement.
BIO: Mark Kaiser has served as the Associate Director of the Berkeley Language Center since 1996. He received his PhD from U Michigan in Slavic Linguistics 1989. His activities at the BLC have included the creation of computerized formative tests for first-year Russian, digital preservation of the audio field recordings of Native American languages, and, since 2009, development of the Library of Foreign Language Film Clips. In 2011 he served as guest editor for the Special Issue of L2 Journal "Teaching Language, Culture, and Text with Film". Working with Claire Kramsch and Rick Kern, he has been involved with the curricular research projects of more than 100 graduate students and lecturers since 1996. He teaches 1st through 3rd year Russian in the Slavic Department at Berkeley.

The Peacekeeper was supposed to replace both the 54 Titan 2 and 1000 Minuteman ICBM's in US service. However concepts changed continually in an attempt to get around the vulnerability of fixed missile siloes to increasingly-accurate Soviet ICBM's. Many different approaches were considered over five presidential administrations. After a long design and development process that went vastly over budget, only 50 were deployed in 1986-1988 to replace the Titan 2. These were in service for 16 years before being decommissioned under post-cold-war arms reduction agreements.
Concept studies began in 1966 for a new ICBM deployable in both fixed and mobile schemes under the WS-120A Advanced ICBM project. This was succeeded in April 1972 by Missile-X (MX) studies. After considering various mobile launch schemes, including air-launch, the decision was finally taken in 1977 to develop a 'silo stuffer' four-stage solid propellant ICBM that could was the largest that could be fitted in existing Minuteman siloes. Decisions on mobile versions could wait. The new ICBM adopted Soviet design concepts. It would be transported and placed in the silo in a launch canister, from which it would be 'cold launched' - popped out of the silo using a cold gas generator before the first stage ignited. This allowed the missile silo to be reloaded with a new missile in a few days (versus 17 days to refurbish a Minuteman silo after a launch). In April - May 1978, contracts were issued to Martin Marietta for development of the missile and to Thiokol, Aerojet, Hercules, and Rocketdyne for the rocket engines for the four stages. The US Congress however refused to fund development until the USAF selected a mobile basing scheme.
In September 1979, the USAF selected a 'shell game' basing scheme involving hiding 200 missiles somewhere in 4600 soft shelters. It was presumed that Soviet planners would have to target all 4600 shelters to wipe out the force. This decision allowed full-scale development to begin. By January 1982 prototypes of all of the rocket stages and simulated cold launches had been tested. But the mobile basing scheme had been dropped by the USAF in 1980 because of its high cost. In early 1983, after Congressional threats of cancellation, it was decided that Peacekeeper would be deployed in Minuteman silos, initially as a Titan replacement, and that a smaller mobile ICBM would be developed for the mobile basing requirement (the Midgetman). The first Peacekeeper canister cold launch took place in June 1983, and the missile was deployed in 1986-1988 to 50 modified Minuteman silos. These remained in service until destroyed in 2004 under the Start II Treaty. A 1986 plan to deploy 50 additional Peacekeeper missiles on 25 special USAF trains was cancelled in 1991 after the end of the Cold War. Midgetman was cancelled as well, and the Minuteman was to continue in service as America's only remaining ICBM until at least 2030.

Martin Marietta LGM-118 Peacekeeper
The Peacekeeper (originally known as "MX" missile) is the newest ICBM in the USAF inventory. It was intended as a replacement for the LGM-30 Minuteman, but it suffered from a long development time, and will actually be retired before the Minuteman because of arms reduction treaties.
As early as 1966, the USAF made plans to develop an Advanced ICBM (AICBM) including a mobile basing system. AICBM was known as Weapon System 120A, but development was not approved by the Secretary of Defense. Research on a new ICBM did not begin again until November 1971, and in April 1972, the USAF announced a new ICBM program, then known as Missile-X (MX). The initial studies researched all kinds of missiles and basing schemes, including air-launch from modified transport aircraft. The Air Force was always intending to deploy a mobile ICBM, but to avoid unnecessary delays, it was finally decided to design a large solid-fueled missile which would initially be launched from existing Minuteman silos. At a later date, a mobile basing system would be developed. In 1977 the basic design for the MX was finalized. It was to become a four-stage missile, using some advanced technologies, like a "cold launch" capability, in which the missile would be ejected from the launch silo by a gas jet before igniting its first stage motor. This would greatly reduce the damage to the silo, reducing the silo rearming effort to a few days by three men (compared to 17 days by 20 men for a Minuteman silo). However, the U.S. Congress was not pleased with the idea of using Minuteman silos (regarded as too vulnerable), and halted MX development for one year to give the USAF time to select a mobile basing system. Nevertheless, in April and May 1978, Martin Marietta was awarded the prime contract for the MX missile, and Thiokol, Aerojet, Hercules, and Rocketdyne received contracts for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stage engine, respectively.
By 1979, the USAF had decided to employ the MPS (Mobile Protective Shelters) plan, in which 200 MX missiles would be shuttled around between 4600 soft shelters. With the placement of dummy missiles in the unused shelters, the Soviet Union wouldn't know where the real missiles would be at any given time, and theoretically would have to attack every shelter to destroy every missile for sure. The alternate "Racetrack" plan, which was to base the missile on railways on huge underground track networks, was dropped. The MPS was approved in September 1979, and full-scale development of the MX began. At that time, the designation MGM-118A was allocated to the MX missile. Initial development was quick, and by January 1982, all major components, including all rocket stages and the cold launch method had been separately tested.
However, because of very high estimated costs, the MPS was cancelled in 1980, and by 1982, Peacekeeper (the name having been assigned in November 1982) was again close to cancellation because of the lack of a mobile basing system. In early 1983, it was finally decided to base Peacekeeper in Minuteman silos, and to develop a small mobile ICBM at a later time (this was to become the MGM-134 Midgetman, which was eventually cancelled, too). Because the missile was no longer planned to be mobile, the designation was changed to LGM-118A. In June 1983, the first full Peacekeeper launch from a launch canister occurred. After more test launches in the following years, the first few LGM-118A missiles became operational in modified Minuteman silos in December 1986. Peacekeeper deployment was complete in December 1988, when 50 LGM-118As were in silos.
The LGM-118A uses a warhead section with 10 MK.21 reentry vehicles, each carrying a 300 kT W-87 thermonuclear warhead. The missile is guided by an Inertial Reference Sphere navigation system by Rockwell Autonetics, and is more accurate than any previous ICBM, reaching 120 m (400 ft) CEP. When stored in its launching canister and launched by the high-pressure gas jet, the missile is separated from the canister walls by many small "adaptors" mounted to the side of the missile. When the canister is cleared, these adaptors fall away, giving the characteristic picture of a Peacekeeper launch.
In 1986, the so-called "Peacekeeper Rail Garrison" plan was approved. In this scheme, 50 additional Peacekeeper missiles would be based on 25 special USAF trains, with each train consisting of two missile cars, two locomotives, and additional cars for launch control, security, and fuel. The designation MGM-118A was again allocated to these mobile missiles, but the whole plan was cancelled in 1991 after the end of the Cold War.
With the signing of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) II in January 1993, Peacekeeper became a dead program. START II demanded the removal of all MIRV ICBMs, and it is currently planned to phase out all LGM-118A missiles until 2004. After that date, the LGM-30 Minuteman will remain the only U.S. land-based ICBM. When production was completed, about 100 LGM-118A missiles had been built.Specifications

Fine dining feels like family
By Ian Murphy 07/10/2014
Sheila's Wine Bar and Restaurant
330 N. Lantana, suite 32
In a town where the term "fine dining" is thrown around a lot, it can sometimes be hard to find a place that can accurately make that claim. And it is equally hard to find a fine dining establishment anywhere that combines a casual feel with high-end items. Sheila's somehow manages both.
Established in 2004, the restaurant was bought a few years later by Pablo Medina and his wife, Bertha. Pablo spent 17 years at the Las Posas Country Club where he honed his craft and developed a passion for fine wines. This could be why Sheila's boasts one of the largest wine lists in Ventura County (roughly 400) and has also received the Southern California Restaurant Writer's Award for Best Wine List. The owners are not shy about letting you try their vast selection before you decide on a wine to complement your meal, and are knowledgeable without being snooty when asked what pairs well with your choice of entree. We went with the Stork's tempranillo (a tangy, crisp red) and Carmenet chardonnay (smooth but not buttery).
Then it was on to the food. Lunchtime can be tricky for some places that are seemingly built for nighttime fare. We began with fresh bread from the La Brea Bakery and an extremely tasty "special dip" thatconsisted of vinegar, olive oil, garlic and various herbs. Then it was on to sharing a Caprese salad, with some of the largest and juiciest heirloom tomatoes (both red and yellow) I have ever seen, topped with balsamic, fresh basil and buffalo mozzarella.
We also tried the filet mignon salad with homemade vinaigrette spiced dressing, blue cheese and cherry tomatoes. I would like to bring attention to the fact that at this time we were definitely treating lunch as dinner, as at this point it was hard not to.
For the main course we went with two of the sandwich choices. The Red Dragon panini, which consisted of grilled chicken, mushrooms, spinach and a cool Dijon mustard. The side of rosemary fries was a nice surprise, where most places offer regular, sweet potato or garlic. The other was a turkey pesto with bell peppers, parmesan and a light pesto sauce. Both sandwiches were hearty without being rich, and followed the first two courses perfectly.
Having eaten here once before (for happy hour), I would be remiss if I did not mention the imported cheese plate. You can choose three ($21), four ($28) or five ($35) cheeses, and another choice of either fruit or cured meats is included. It sounds pricey, but the quality of the meats and cheese and the generous portions more than make up for it. I had never before been able to sample Saint André from France (cow), Manchego from Spain (sheep), Irish porter from, well, Ireland (cow), cambozola from Germany (cow) and Humbolt Fog from California (goat). It was the United Nations of deliciousness. Next time I will have to substitute the Red Dragon from the UK (cow) just to cross it off my bucket list.
Sheila's is the kind of place that you would be excited to take someone to whom had never been there before. What with the fireplace, the contented atmosphere and the dizzying array of wines, it is the perfect place for an intimate date or a meal with close friends. The specials change daily and are very inventive, and the sense of welcome you get from the employees makes Sheila's a wonderful and tasty preference for a day or night out.

Oman Air opens new Bangkok business class lounge
Originally published on www.businesstravellerme.com 18/12/2011 - Filed under: News »
Oman Air has unveiled its new business class lounge at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.
The lounge, located at the second floor junction between concourses G and E of the International terminal, serves the airline's passengers flying in first and business class and can hold up to 40 people.
Its premium class passengers can make use of the business centre with private work stations, which is equipped with free broadband and wifi.
Hot and cold snacks, comprising traditional Arabic and Oriental dishes, are prepared under the direction of the chef of the Dusit Thani Hotel Bangkok, and passengers can order juices, hot beverages and drinks from a bar.
The lounge, which has a quiet area for those with longer connections, also contains satellite TV and local and international newspapers and magazines.
It retains many of the features of its flagship lounge which opened in Muscat in January.
The January-February edition of Business Traveller Middle East contains a special report on Oman Air, the new Muscat International Airport and the latest developments in Oman's hospitality sector.

Okay, it's March 2 already, so I'm a little behind the times posting a what's in and what's out in 2014 list, but Catherine Colford at Hawkins International PR put together a pretty interesting compilation of what's new and old at hotels across the globe these days, so I thought I'd go ahead and share it with you. Here are 8 trends you'll be seeing at hotels this year and others you can officially wave good-bye to.
1. A New Spin on the Bar
What's Out: Drinks and a cheese plate at the bar
What's In: Drinks and a cheese plate served tableside
Hotel restaurants bring the party to you with impressive bar carts drawn tableside. Brunch guests at 45 Park Lane in London, for example, are treated to a Bloody Mary trolley stocked with the finest local market ingredients to cater to every taste—from beef stock and horseradish vodka to chili syrup and spice gomme. The Inn at Little Washington in Washington, Virginia, surprises diners with an unexpected cow-shaped cheese cart named Faira that is arrayed with a remarkable selection of cheeses from around the world, while the iconic Martini Cart at the Omni Royal Orleans in New Orleans delivers martinis right to your table that are just $2, and which are double the size of a regular martini at that.
2. A Sleep to Remember
What's Out: Staying up all night
What's In: Sleeping through the night
Why party all night when you can get the best rest of your life? Hotels are putting an emphasis on offerings to help their guests get a good night's snooze. The Hotel Vermont in Burlington, Vermont, has a special bedtime menu with a long list of sleep-friendly amenities that include a selection of Lunaroma aromatherapy products, flannel PJ sets, Vermont teddy bears, bedtime stories, and a hot toddy selection. The Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina, is turning up the heat on turndown amenities with temple balm and a reflexology foot treatment as a turndown amenity, along with a "Goodnight Wishes" card with tips for relaxing. The Dorchester in London offers a Sleep Deeply massage to send guests to slumberland in a hurry.
3. Text Your Request
What's Out: Dialing "0" to reach the concierge desk
What's In: Using your smartphone or tablet to reach the concierge and book reservations
Hotels are inviting guests to make requests without saying a word. Three Loews Hotels properties are testing a pilot program that takes guest requests through text messages, with replies guaranteed within four minutes. Loews also recently debuted a program that invites guests to make "social reservations" through Twitter: Simply tweet @Loews_Hotels with the hashtag #BookLoews and a Loews travel planner will assist you with your reservation. The Nines hotel in Portland, Oregon, offers its own "Nines Touch" app enabling guests to "chat" directly with hotel staff through their mobile devices to order room service, check out local events, arrange transportation, and submit requests to the concierge. The Red Coat Direct program at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, lets meeting planners text hotel staff with questions, comments, or requests during their meeting.
4. Boost Your Bath
What's Out: BYO toiletries
What's In: Bath bars
Decadent baths have long been a favorite treat at luxury hotels. In 2014, many properties are enhancing their already lavish bath experiences with expertly drawn baths. The Hotel Madeline in Telluride, Colorado, offers a "Bath Bar" and "Bath Barista," who comes to your room to customize your bath with bath salts, facial cleaners, body oil infused with lemon, juniper, cardamom, and more. Guests at the Lake Arrowhead Resort 90 minutes east of Los Angeles can summon the Bath Butler to deliver luxe amenities like Bamboo Lemongrass Foaming Body Scrub. Ingredients change seasonally, with special products offered for Valentine's Day and other occasions. The Seabourn Cruise Line invites guests staying in their Penthouse Spa Suites to customize their baths by choosing from a menu of luxurious bath sponges and designer soaps by Hermès, L'Occitane, Baudelaire, and Salvatore Ferragamo.
5. Ride in Style
What's Out: Designer suites
What's In: Designer bikes
Hotels are teaming up with designers to create custom bikes that express the style and individuality of the property. Even as Citi Bikes take over Manhattan, NYC's Gramercy Park Hotel worked with Lorenzo Martone to create "the Christian Louboutin" of bicycles for two-wheeling guests. The bikes are all-white save for Martone's signature bright red chain. Le Meurice in Paris offers chic pistachio-green bicycles with all the trimmings, including a green basket and elegant gold bike locks, while 45 Park Lane in London invites guests to take a spin on bespoke Brompton bicycles in the hotel's signature purple color. Maine's Chebeague Island Inn, located 10 miles off the coast of Portland, allows guests to explore the island with custom L.L. Bean-designed bikes.
6. Read All About It
What's Out: Buying a bestseller at the airport
What's In: Discovering a local author at your hotel
Hotels are taking the local travel trend one step further with local literary partnerships and amenities. The Hotel Vermont in Burlington has partnered with the Burlington Writers Workshop to publish new writing on a quarterly basis. Each guestroom will be stocked with small books filled with original works by workshop writers for guests to enjoy on-site and take home. The Nines in Portland has a partnership with nearby Powell's Books—the largest new and used bookstore in the world—to offer a wide selection of more than 3,000 books in the hotel's on-site library.
7. Welcome Home
What's Out: Hotel as escape
What's In: Hotel as home
With short-term home and apartment rental sites like HomeAway and Airbnb shifting hospitality towards homelike experiences, luxury hotels are now offering more personalized options that don't skimp on luxury. For example, the Lodge at Doonbeg in County Clare, Ireland, has a range of accommodation options, including suites and cottages, that are outfitted with modern conveniences such as full kitchens and spacious living rooms complete with homey comforts like gas fireplaces and hand-selected antiques. Guests can also arrange for room service to deliver the ingredients for a DIY barbecue or pizza party for a more homelike dining experience. Lungarno Collection, the Ferragamo family-owned hospitality group, will launch a new property, Portrait Firenze, in Florence, Italy, this May. The hotel is the second to employ the collection's "Portrait Experience" concept (the first is Portrait Roma in Rome), with rooms customized to suit individual guest needs, preferences, and pursuits.
8. Exploring 2.0
What's Out: Walking tours
What's In: Experiential tours
Hotels are offering new ways to get up close and personal with their destinations. Rather than walk through the surrounding wildlife, visitors can fly through it on Omni Mount Washington's canopy tour, the longest zipline tour in New England, which treats thrill-seekers to views of the East's tallest peak. Guests at the Dolder Grand in Zurich, Switzerland, can enjoy an art history lesson with their stay courtesy of an iPad app that provides insider info on works in the hotel's impressive art collection, including pieces by Andy Warhol and Salvador Dalí.
A New Spin on the Bar
In the ever popular Rib Room at the Omni Royal Orleans hotel in New Orleans, a Martini Cart brings giant $2 martinis right to your table. I'll have mine shaken not stirred, please.
A Sleep to Remember
Asheville's historic Grove Park Inn helps you get a good night's rest with special turndown amenities that include a temple balm and reflexology foot treatment.
Text Your Request
Having a meeting at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida? Just text your questions or requests to the hotel's meeting staff and they'll take care of it.
Boost Your Bath
The Hotel Madeline in Telluride, Colorado, employs a Bath Barista, who will come to your room and prep your time in the tub using bath salts, body oils, and more.
Ride in Style
Biking is back in the Big Apple, and the designer rides available for loan to guests of the Gramercy Park Hotel have been described as "the Christian Louboutin" of bicycles.
Read All About It
Given its proximity to one of the largest bookstores in the world, it makes sense that The Nines hotel in Portland, Oregon, would have its own library, housing some 3,000 books.
Welcome Home
When the new Portrait Firenze opens in Florence, Italy, this spring, it will become one of the growing number of hotels with features designed to give guests a more homey experience.
Exploring 2.0
Zurich's Dolder Grand boasts an impressive collection of art, and guests can learn more about the works—by artists like Henry Moore and Salvador Dalí—with the hotel's iPad app.

Julie Martino and Warren Bryant were married by Jeanne Sommer on October 6, 2007 at Hidden River near Swannanoa, NC. The wedding was held at sunrise on a misty morning beside the Swannanoa River. The wedding music was Pachabel's Canon and JS Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. played by Jo Northrup on the flute and Milt Crofts on the mandocello. Warren's father and brother were in attendance. Bill Mosher took photographs.
I grew up in India where my parents were Presbyterian agricultural missionaries and have taught at Warren Wilson College most of my life. My photographs are of north India and Sri Lanka where I have traveled many times; of Germany, which is my wife, Kathe's, home; and of the Swannanoa Valley and Asheville, North Carolina and of students and staff at Warren Wilson College, in Swannanoa just outside Asheville. Lately I have also been photographing weddings at Hidden River Events.

A good job interview starts well before the job seeker and interviewer meet. Preparation can be as important as the interview itself. Researching, practicing, and dressing appropriately are the first steps to making the most of a job interview.
One of the best, but most frequently overlooked, ways to demonstrate enthusiasm for a job is to research both the company and the position for which you are being interviewed. Employers are impressed by well-informed job seekers. Before arriving for an interview, you should know what the company does, how large it is, any recent changes it has undergone, and what role you could play in its organization. Try to learn about the company's goals and values. With these facts, you can show how your qualifications match the company's needs.
Research Resources
The company itself is often the easiest place to start your search. Many businesses fill their websites with information tailored to job seekers. These sites often include a history of the company and a description of its products and customers. Many companies' human resources departments will send recruiting information if you request it. Public libraries and career centers also have valuable information about employers, including companies' annual reports to shareholders, reports kept by local chambers of commerce, trade journals, and business indexes, such as Hoover's, Business Index and Dun and Bradstreet.
Practice describing yourself.
Another important step in preparing for a job interview is to practice describing your professional characteristics. Think of examples from past jobs, schoolwork, and activities to illustrate important skills. Recalling accomplishments beforehand, when you don't have to respond under interview pressure, will strengthen your answers during the actual event. Every interview will be different, and there may always be surprising questions. Nevertheless, interviewers suggest rehearsing with a career counselor or friend to gain confidence and poise. As a starting point, try to respond aloud to the following:
- How would you describe yourself?
- What did you like most about your last job?
- What types of courses do you enjoy most?
- Why should I select you over other applicants?
- What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
- What are your hobbies?
- Tell me more about the project you described on your résumé.
- Describe a work or school-related problem and how you solved it.
- Tell me about a time you worked as part of a team.
- What are your short-term goals?
- Why do you want to work in this occupation and for this company?
Each question gives you an opportunity to illustrate your favorable characteristics. When responding, focus on subjects related to the job. For example, if asked to describe yourself, talk about your professional characteristics and
background, not your personal life. Some questions—such as those about hobbies or interests—may seem irrelevant. Interviewers ask these types of questions to learn about your personality and test your interpersonal skills. In addition, answering questions about your hobbies or interests allows you to highlight some of your other strengths. Participating in a sport might demonstrate teamwork; ability in a craft, such as needlepoint, shows an attention to detail.
Career centers and libraries have many books with additional questions and possible answers. The goal is not to memorize responses to these questions but to become comfortable speaking about yourself, your training and experience, and your career goals. Responding to interview questions should not sound as if you are reciting a script. Whatever the question, be ready to accentuate the positive. The interviewer might ask for a weakness or failure; choose one that does not affect your ability to do the job, or describe a shortcoming you are working to overcome. For example, if interviewing for an entry-level job, cite your lack of paid experience. If there are weaknesses evident on your resume or transcript, such as being fired from a job or receiving poor grades, rehearse an explanation before the interview in case you are asked about them.
Focus on what you learned from the experience, being careful never to criticize a previous employer or coworker. Dress professionally. Securing a job is much easier if you look the part. A useful guideline is to dress as you would for an important day on the job, like a meeting with a supervisor or a presentation to a client. Clothes should be clean, well fitting, and wrinkle free. Most employers expect job seekers to wear a traditional two-piece suit, preferably in a conservative color such as navy blue, gray, or black. The object is to look reliable, not trendy. Many employers say that women's skirts should be knee-length or below. Polished, closed-toe shoes complete the professional image. Avoid last-minute clothing disasters by trying on your suit a few days before the interview. And plan for the unexpected: if you will wear a skirt, buy an extra pair of stockings; if you have shoes that tie, get more shoelaces. Bring such extras along with you the day of the interview. Keep hair neat by tying it back, putting it up, or cutting it short. Avoid cologne and perfume, large pieces of jewelry, and heavy or unnatural makeup. These distract the interviewer from your qualifications.
Interviewers suggest rehearsing with a career counselor or friend to gain confidence and poise. The goal is to become comfortable speaking about yourself, your training and experience, and your career goals.

Trouble may be brewing for Miley Cyrus. The former Disney kid addressed reports before a recent show in London about an alleged drug overdose. She is sticking to her story about having a sinus infection and then an adverse reaction to the medication that was prescribed for it. She seems to have made a full recovery. On the other hand, she raised eyebrows when the Bangerz dates were postponed.
The spliff-loving Cyrus, 21, resumed her European Bangerz schedule last week at London's O2 arena. She is due to appear at the American Billboard Music Awards via live video on May 18. The US leg of her tour kicks off on Aug. 1 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale. Nevertheless, questions linger about the status of grown-up Hannah Montana's health. It is not clear where the overdose hearsay about Cyrus started. That doesn't matter. She was compelled to speak about the issue.
At a press conference on the eve of her O2 engagement, cnn.com quoted Miley as saying, "I didn't have a drug overdose" and "I took some s**ty antibiotics." According to usmagazine.com, Cyrus told the phalanx of entertainment reporters, "I'm the poster child for good health."
A string of trouble that never ends
The reigning Queen of Twerk is apparently ruffling more than a few feathers in between gigs across the pond. During a private birthday party performance over the weekend, Cyrus's attempt at humor apparently backfired. While joking around at a club named G-A-Y, foxnews.com reports Cyrus told some friends, "You know, everyone's a little bit gay." She added, "It's the truth…and if that doesn't work, sprinkle something in their drink. That's what I always do."
Miley's words about slipping something into somebody's drink have caused quite a stir in the British media. Was she talking about date rape? There's more. Paparazzi caught the southern pop songster leaving Madame Jojo's nightclub in the wee hours wearing nothing more than her Versace bra and matching underwear. Coliseum goers are now waiting with bated breath to see what Miley will say or do when she returns to the arena in August.

Pulitzer prize winners
share reporting tips
THOSE JOURNALISTS aspiring for a Pulitzer Prize (and even those who are not) may be happy to know that Pulitzer Prize winners regularly hold seminars to share valuable knowledge and tips on how to best practice the profession of journalism.
Sheila Coronel, founding executive director of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) and current director of the Tony Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism in Columbia University, shares excerpts from the recent Pulitzer Prize Seminar entitled Holding up the Mirror, and featuring this year's winners of one of the premier awards of journalism.
In her blog Watchdog Watcher, Coronel, who also moderated the seminar, said this year's Pulitzer winners were asked questions that many journalists all over the world would also have liked to ask – "how they worked in teams, where they got the information for their databases, and how they got people to talk to them when they knocked on their doors at night."
