Making boxes in Palisade might not seem like a good substitute to rafting and hiking in Romania but it does come with its perks. "Heck I'm seeing Grand Canyon so nothing compares to that and going to Las Vegas," says Anna Popescu, a student with the Work and Travel program. Popescu says, "We decided that we (weren't) going to stay and do nothing the whole summer we wanted to do something special."
Her plan is similar to the one that Bruce Talbott had when he was younger. Talbott says he remember the times he spent in Europe picking fruit and traveling the country. "We appreciate what people did for us when we were visiting else where and we like to reciprocate here."
For the past five years Talbott Farms has been hosting students from the Work and Travel program. Students come from as many as 10 different countries and work at the farm for about three months.
"Its once in a life time," says, Alexander Bulai, an art and photography student from Romania. For him this was his chance to get a close up look at an American classic.
Bulai says, "I wanted to come in America I wanted to see Mustangs." He's talking about the Ford Mustang. And he did just that last month at a Grand Junction car show. "I was like, oh my God, this is heaven," says, Bulai.
While it may not be exactly heaven for the Talbotts it's still pretty peachy. "It's a relatively good fit to bring in a lot of these college students to help us out with peach harvest," says, Talbott. And come August they will need all the help they can get.
So for now Popescu and Bulai will continue to pack peaches and plan their next trip.
Hoping to see and do as much as they can before the fall semester rolls around.
Work and travel students earn the same pay as other employees and live on the farm during their stay.

A Must Read - Share
LONDON -- Tennis is adopting the biological passport program and increasing the number of blood tests as part of a new anti-doping drive that players themselves have demanded.
With the sport under pressure to do more against doping, the International Tennis Federation said Thursday the measures will go into effect this year on both the men's and women's tours in an effort to ensure the game is clean.
The biological passport tracks a player's blood profile over time for any changes that could indicate doping. The system is already applied in track and field and cycling and has

Christmas and New Year: Cypriot Style
The Christmas and New Year period in Cyprus is a special time for Cypriots and visitors alike. Entwined in tradition and religious celebration, it's a time for spending quality time with friends and family. With temperatures around the 20 degree mark, Christmas is celebrated with (literal) warmth and festive cheer. What a wonderful time of the year to escape to Aphrodite's Island with your loved ones to celebrate and soak up the amazing atmosphere.
The festive season starts on the 6th December and lasts until the 6th January. Many Christian Greek Cypriots endure a period of forty days of fasting prior to Christmas, so the subsequent Christmas feast is a hearty affair. On Christmas Eve, loaves of Christopsomo (Christ Bread) are eaten and children visit neighbouring houses to sing Kalanda (Greek carols) and offer good wishes to others.
On Christmas Day, dishes such as stuffed turkey, chicken and roast lamb are eaten and it's a time for family and friends to come together.
New Year's Day has particular significance for Greek Cypriots, as this is the day of Ayios Vasilis (St Basil), the Greek Santa Claus. Children receive their gifts on New Year's Day. In the evening, once the children have gone to bed, a cake called Vasilopitta (Santa's cake) with a coin inside it and a glass of wine are placed by the Christmas tree. Ayios Vasilis drinks the wine, blesses the cake and places presents around the tree. In the morning the cake is cut and the one who finds the coin will have good luck for the coming year.
Travelling to Cyprus with your friends and family for Christmas and New Year is a refreshing change from the chillier North European climate. How wonderful to dine on your Christmas feast on a terrace or balcony with your nearest and dearest, spending time sharing stories and catching up with one another and having the opportunity to explore Cyprus and revel in its culture at such a lovely time of the year!
Tempted? Why not consider one of our apartments and make this year's festive season something really unique. Monarch have added additional flights to their itinerary for the festive period, so there's even more reason to opt for Christmas 2010 Cyprus style!

When your feelin' this chick and you spend most of your time together at the party/bar/house, but then some guy buys her a drink/tells a story and steals her interest from you to him. So all your time you just invested into this one girl has been wasted by another guy, or Cock Jocked. Fckin' Sucks.
Sometime in the Fall semester of 05'...My boy Eric got cock jocked by this one guy who tried to steal his girl Emily by buying drinks for her. But the only way to fight him off is play him in his own game and cock jock the girl back. Chillin back at my place Erik said he did not get the girl but we checked her out on facebook and concluded she was mad doodie anyway.

Attorney finds no conflict for Ben Greenwald to represent defendant in murder case
MONTICELLO — A Bronx attorney has found no "actual conflict of interest" that would stop Ben Greenwald from representing a co-defendant in the Catherine Novak murder case when his father, Gary Greenwald, represents the other defendant.
Samuel Braverman wrote that he believes Ben Greenwald has "a potential conflict of interest" but can represent Scott Sherwood if Sherwood signs a conflict waiver and demonstrates under questioning he understands the risks. Sherwood is expected to be questioned by Judge Frank LaBuda on Thursday during a hearing in Sullivan County Court.
LaBuda appointed Braverman in March to conduct an inquiry. District Attorney Jim Farrell raised the issue of a conflict in January and argued in March that Ben Greenwald should be removed. While the Greenwalds maintain separate law practices, Farrell argued any conviction could be overturned on appeal.
Gary Greenwald represents Paul Novak, who was Catherine's estranged husband. He is accused of plotting the murder and actually strangling her on Dec. 12, 2008, then burning down the Lava home to cover up the crime and collect insurance payouts.
Sherwood is charged with second-degree murder, accused of helping his former EMT co-worker Novak. Sherwood told state police he was paid by Novak to drive him to Narrowsburg, and witnessed Novak mixing chloroform at Novak's home in Nassau County. Sherwood further told investigators he waited in the car parked in the woods, while Novak, wearing surgical scrubs, allegedly committed the murder. Novak is charged with first-degree murder and arson, among other crimes.
Braverman wrote that he met with Sherwood on April 5 in the Sullivan County Jail. Sherwood told him he understood the potential conflict, and risks, and was willing to sign a waiver. Braverman also spoke with Ben Greenwald and found his conduct "was not irrational nor did it seem to be the product of some inappropriate influence."

In my last article we talked about finding out what your skills and job are worth in the employment marketplace.
Some of you may have been unfortunately surprised to learn that you are underpaid by your employer. Or at least have a pretty good hunch that you are underpaid, depending on which methods you used to gather your salary information.
If that's you, what do you do? Should you up and quit your job? Not likely — making a rash move in an uncertain economy is unwise.
What Should I Do If I am Underpaid?
But you shouldn't sit back either. Here are 4 different methods of dealing with the discovery that your employer hasn't been paying you enough.
Consider Your Full Compensation Package
Before you walk into your boss' office to throw a hastily put together resignation letter, take a deep breath.
Now that you've done that be sure to consider your full compensation package.
Here's the deal: no two jobs are paid the same. If you find out that your friend's co-worker doing the same job you do at another employer is making $15,000 more per year than you, you are probably incensed. But what you may not know is whether or not that employee gets the four weeks vacation you get, or if he spends $300 more per month on his benefits than you, or if he doesn't get the 5% bonus deposited into his 401k account. In some cases that employee may not even be paid as a W2 employee — meaning they are being paid 1099 wages and having to pay a lot of that income in tax.
Try to gauge the full situation before doing anything hasty.
Consider Your Work Environment
Similar to comparing full compensation packages, also consider the work environment. What your friend may not be telling you is his buddy is well paid because the manager of that group is terrible to work for. Or maybe the entire company works in an ugly industry that has a hard time attracting quality employees.
Meanwhile your boss may know your entire family, you go to happy hour a lot, and get to wear shorts and flip flops around the office. Maybe you have the option to telecommute once a week, or whenever there is inclement weather.
Work environment is definitely a tangible benefit. It can be hard to put a number on it, but sometimes being happy while making less is better than being paid more to work at a job you hate.
Ask for a Raise
First, you can't just walk into your supervisor's office and ask for a raise. They'll be caught off guard and probably a little irritated that you didn't let them prepare for the conversation. You can imagine what that does for your chances of getting the raise.
Instead, take some time to do your salary research. Then make a list of your work achievements and value added to the company. Set a meeting with your boss to discuss not only how much of a raise you want (in fact, don't lead with that), but what you've done and what goals you have moving forward to assisting the organization. Come at the conversation from a value standpoint rather than a pricing standpoint. Also understand that some organizations only give raises during certain times of they year. It can be beneficial to put the bug in your manager's ear before the raise or promotion cycle starts, that way you have already let them know your value to the company.
Find a New Job
Unfortunately, sometimes talking to your boss won't lead to you being paid a fair wage in the future. Maybe the company is on a salary freeze or your boss doesn't like you. If you decide is time to make a move, don't do it halfhearted. The best time to find a new job is when you already have one. But you need to be careful about how you do it. Your work performance will visibly suffer when you have one foot out the door. (And yes, your boss and co-workers will notice you seem to be wearing more suits and taking "late lunches".)
Final Thoughts
Finding out you are underpaid can be extremely frustrating. Verify your data first and consider other factors that might influence your salary. If you love your job but determine you need a raise, ask for one in the most professional manner possible. If that doesn't work, it is time to hit the streets looking for your next career step.

Running Man Dance
Running Man Dance Steps:
Stand with your feet together, arms relaxed by your sides.
Lift and bend your right leg, forming a 90 degree angle with your knee and the floor. Lift and bend your arms, elbows out to the sides with relaxed fists.
Lower your right leg, sliding your left leg backwards and lifting the left heel, while leaning slightly forward. Push your arms down with relaxed fists.
Repeat, bending and lifting your left leg.
The Running Man is a street and fad dance that originated in late 1986 early 1987 (many cite MC Hammer as the original creator) and was performed most notably by Janet Jackson in the video of her hit "Rhythm Nation" and subsequently on the Rhythm Nation World Tour and various live performances. It was historical first performed in a Fela Kuti concert called "Cross Examination" by one of his back-up dancers/ex-wife in Berlin in 1978. Additionally, it was performed by MC Hammer, Bobby Brown, Milli Vanilli, and Vanilla Ice during their live concert shows and music videos, but achieved renewed popularity in the 2000s. It is also used in some forms of the Melbourne Shuffle dance style. It consists of a hopping or sliding step done in such a way at speed to simulate a runner.
Be sure to attach your raised foot to the side of the opposite leg.
Slide your left leg back at exactly the same moment that your right foot makes contact with the floor.
Keep both feet parallel throught the dance.
Keep your forearms close to your torso.
Quick, clean movements will give the illusion of running without moving forward.
What is the Running Man?
The Running Man is a fad dance that was developed during the late 1980s. The Running Man dance was developed by MC Hammer and originally called "the Hammer." The dance move was performed by MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice during live shows and on music videos. The Running Man is a hopping dance that, when performed correctly, resembles a runner in action.

Steve Jobs Takes Leave of Absence from Apple
It appears that the extent of Steve Jobs' health problems were greater than what was previously released to the public. Earlier this month, Jobs released a statement to the Apple community detailing his battle a hormone imbalance which caused him to lose weight.
At the time, Jobs stated that he would step aside should he feel that he could no longer serve as Apple's CEO. It appears that the day is here as Steve Jobs announced in a letter to Apple employees that he leave his day-to-day workload to focus on his health. Tim Cook will step in to fill Jobs' large shoes in his absence. Here is Jobs' letter in its entirety:
I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.
In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple's day to day operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully supports this plan.
I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.
We won't delve into conspiracy theories about Jobs' health or who knew what when, but the whole DailyTech team wishes him the best in his road to recovery. And when June rolls around, we will gladly welcome him back into the news circuit complete with his black turtleneck, jeans, and tennis shoes.

The Central High Crisis
Fifty years ago, conflict over integration of Little Rock Central High School captured the attention of the world. That crisis stands as the most significant news event in Little Rock's 20th century history.
The crisis of 1957 was reported in powerful detail by the two statewide newspapers of that era -- the morning Arkansas Gazette and the afternoon Arkansas Democrat. Their pages, reflecting different news cycles but equal competitive vigor, provide an objective record of those momentous times.

|Applications of the NIST RoboCrane
|August 18, 1994
|The Robot Systems Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently been experimenting with a variety of applications for the NIST ROBOCRANE. The ROBOCRANE design utilizes the basic idea of the Stewart Platform parallel link manipulator. The unique feature of the NIST approach is to use cables as the parallel links and to use winches as the actuators. Depending on what is suspended from its work platform, the ROBOCRANE has land, air, water, and space applications. A 2-meter version and a 6-meter version of the ROBOCRANE have been built and critical performance characteristics analyzed. Through these and other conceptual models, example applications for ROBOCRANE are: flexible-structure mobility, heavy material handling, and flexible fixturing on land; rescue and personnel/ equipment maneuverability in air; subsea pipe-laying/removal, lifting, and salvage from stable or unstable references on water; and lightweight, long distance lunar rover capabilites in space. All applications of ROBOCRANE include a large work volume, six degree-of-freedom control, precision maneuverability, and enhanced crane capabilities. This paper describes ROBOCRANE's present and future performance measurements, control system designs, and the conceptual designs for a multitude of applications.

"This recipe is so truthful to his pancakes that it's almost hard for me to eat them; I keep expecting him to walk into the kitchen. (Remember, the batter is best if you make it the night before!)"

"I grew up having American-style rotisserie chicken at the Brentwood Country Mart in Los Angeles—nothing can beat that place. Still, this version helps bring me back to my childhood. Here, instead of putting chicken on a turning spit, you rotate the chicken in a roasting pan and it sort of self-bastes. I read about this technique in a Joël Robuchon cookbook and adapted it for American-style rotisserie flavor."
"When I was pregnant, I asked my mother to make these for me all the time. They're just the right balance of tart and sweet."
A Healthier Version"These muffins made from spelt flour don't have any processed sugar and are vegan. They still rock the house."
"These baked potato sticks are a great substitute when you want the flavor of fries without the deep-fry effect on your health."
Classic French FriesOne of Paltrow's favorite foods on earth: the french fry. In her cookbook, she also offers this fried (and even more delicious) version.
"These are about as healthy as brownies can get without sacrificing flavor."
"I love a recipe in which you can prepare it all ahead of time and then assemble it quickly just before you eat."
"This salad is inspired by the famous grilled vegetable salad at The Ivy restaurant in Los Angeles. This is one of my standbys—I make it for myself when the kids have gone to bed, but it's equally good at a lunch party."
Balsamic & Lime Vinaigrette"The tangy sweet dressing adds real zing to any grilled salad. I have never served this without having a friend ask for the recipe!"

Description: Okay, I LOVE Seto Kaiba, he was my favorite anime character since I was 4 and on.

Vision vs. Strategy
Technology-Powered Disruption
Most people by now have read Marc Andreessen's Why Software Is Eating The World. This was written back in 2011, and I've been watching his predictions play out in companies all around the world. While my focus is primarily on technology-powered software products, services and devices, I'm also very interested to find other industries where the techniques of modern product are used to disrupt their spaces.
Tribute to Bruce Williams
This has been a tough year for the technology industry. In March we lost Andy Grove, and in April we lost Bill Campbell. Sadly, in May we lost Bruce Williams. Bruce had been fighting Pancreatic Cancer for the past year and a half. He had been in an experimental program at UCSF, which extended his life at least a year.
Developer Powered Innovation
There is a very common fallacy about developers in our industry, and I think it hurts countless companies.
Product Success
Exactly a year ago I was invited to give a keynote at the Craft Conference in Budapest and I discussed the 10 biggest reasons why product teams fail. You can watch that talk here, or read the narrative article here.
Women in Product
Note 1: I'm focusing in this article on women, however, my points here are intended to apply to all under-represented groups.
Discovery Coaches
In my last article on Discovery Sprints I mentioned the concept of Discovery Coaches and several people asked me about that, so I thought I'd describe more about what this role is and when it's helpful.
Discovery Sprints
I find that many teams, especially those new to modern product techniques, are looking for a structured introduction to modern product discovery. In this article, I'd like to describe the concept of a discovery sprint, and also introduce you to a new book that goes into depth on this technique.
When Performance Is Measured By Results
NOTE: I was invited to write the foreword for Christina Wodke's new book on OKR's, Radical Focus, and I am sharing the foreword here.
Devolving From Good To Bad
Lots of people have written about the challenges of managing growth. Especially about the importance of working hard to maintain staff quality as you scale the organization. There is little question that most organizations become worse in their ability to rapidly deliver consistent innovation as they grow, yet most people attribute this to staff quality and also process and communication issues of scale. Some believe that this is unavoidable.

When Chicago real estate agent John Maloof bought an unmarked box of some 40,000 negatives at an auction house in 2007 for $380, he had no idea what he had stumbled upon. It was a body of undiscovered work by Vivian Maier, who has posthumously been recognized as one of 20th-century America's great street photographers.
Maier was a French-American nanny born in 1926, who shot pictures constantly, but never exhibited them. "At first I didn't know that this was great street photography," Maloof says in a phone interview.
The Maier images he posted online and the ones which have now been exhibited around the world and collected in a handful of books are "a tiny, tiny fraction of her work," Maloof says. "Every photographer has an overwhelming amount of horrible work, so you have to go through a lot of negatives. Even if you pick up one and it's great, there will be a ton that are not going to be great."
Nevertheless, Maloof says that, as he unearthed more of Maier's best work, he was inspired both to start shooting pictures himself and learn more about photography.
In 2008 and 2009, he spent $70,000 or so buying what he estimates amounts to 90 percent of Maier's body of work from others who had purchased boxes at the auction house. He is now the custodian of some 100,000 negatives.
Ever since his first purchase, Maloof has been trying to unravel the mystery of Maier, a woman who spent nearly half a century taking photos that she never shared with the world.
After he discovered Maier's name in one of the boxes, a Google search for information on her yielded no results -- except for her obituary in 2009.
Maloof eventually found an address that gave him a lead to people she had worked for as a nanny in Chicago. When he met them, they told him they had a storage locker full of her stuff, which was headed for the dumpster.
He took the whole lot -- newspapers, receipts with varying spellings of her name, books, clothes, hats, letters and more -- to add to the mountain of negatives, the hundreds of hours of Super 8 video and audio recordings and cameras she had left behind.
"It was overwhelming," Maloof says. "There's no way you can go through it all. She saved everything. Every single book had a note in it or a coupon or a receipt. She was such a hoarder. I mean really."
So much stuff, but so few answers about the mysterious nanny. Talking with people who had been in contact with her further stoked Maloof's curiosity. He joined forces with filmmaker Charlie Siskel to make the documentary "Finding Vivian Maier," which screened late last year in New York and Los Angeles and opened April 11 in the Bay Area.
In it, the filmmakers show dozens of people -- including parents who hired her, children she cared for, store owners, movie theater operators and neighbors who remember her -- from Chicago to France.
"I wanted to figure out who she was," says Maloof. "Why (was) she taking all these pictures? What compelled her to take them, and why she didn't show the work? I just wanted to find out more about her, and each person had a different take."
The film suggests Maier was intensely private, socially awkward, estranged from her family, a loner. Even those who shared the same roof with her seemed merely to observe the eccentric Maier, who kept her bedroom door locked and fiercely guarded her boxes of worldly possessions, without ever knowing exactly who she was.
Some speculate that she wouldn't have wanted or been able to handle all the attention that has since been paid to her extraordinary work. But in one poignant scene, Maloof uncovers a letter in which Maier expressed a sadly unrealized desire to put herself out in the world.
Nobody will ever know the scope of Maier's intentions. But the compulsion to record, if not edit, her vivid images of 20th-century life has made the world a richer place.

Health department lays off 16 Another 15 positions eliminated
SEBRING - Sixteen health department workers received pink slips Monday afternoon. "We sent out letters to our staff, providing them with 10 days notice their posts are going to be eliminated," said Thomas Moran, a department spokesman. "The effective date was Nov. 30." The Florida Department of Health in Highlands County also isn't filling 15 vacant positions. "That lessened the impact," he said.In addition, one employee transferred to another county, and another has offered two-weeks notice of a transfer. It was a moment they had been waiting for, Moran said. The entire department, which numbered about 125, was told in April that revenues were declining. In August, the news came that 15 percent of their jobs could be eliminated. In the end, 25 percent of their jobs were lost. Moran did not elaborate on why each of the 16 were chosen, saying they were different pay grades and from different departments. "I'm not aware of any severance being paid. Of course, some of them have leave time. And their insurance is covered through the end of the year," Moran said. No departments will be eliminated, Moran said. "We don't anticipate any decrease in services provided to the community." The news of the layoffs came back with the approval of the budget from Tallahassee, Moran said. He hasn't heard of future layoffs. "We will continue evaluations, due to the economy," he said. Those laid off were his co-workers, Moran said. "The health department is like a family, when you're working together, you build relationships. It's more personal than, say, a large office. We interact a lot." Highlands County Health Department is at 7205 S. George Blvd., south of Sebring. Adult and children's services include breast and cervical cancer screenings, dental examinations and procedures, family planning, maternity health, school health, HIV and AIDS tests and TB screenings. firstname.lastname@example.com 863-386-5828

Walmart is planning two new neighborhood markets in San Jose, one on Monterey Highway south of the city's downtown and the other on Stevens Creek Boulevard, not far from the Westfield Valley Fair mall.
Together, the two stores will create almost 200 jobs. One will be part of a new 20-acre shopping center being constructed on the site of a former Sun Garden packing plant near Monterey Highway and Alma Avenue, and the other will be in a retail building once occupied by Circuit City, which has gone out of business.
The deals underscore an ongoing expansion by Walmart of its grocery-oriented stores, challenging stalwarts in the market such as Safeway and Lucky.
"San Jose is under-retailed," said Nanci Klein, deputy director of San Jose's city Economic Development Department. "We expect to be seeing more retailers coming into San Jose."
At the Stevens Creek Boulevard site, Walmart plans a 46,000-square-foot store that will employ up to 95 workers. The retail staff will consist of full- and part-time employees.
"This former Circuit City is an opportunity to revitalize a retail space that has been vacant for some time and create synergy with the surrounding businesses," said Delia Garcia, a spokeswoman for Arkansas-based Walmart.
It wasn't immediately clear when the Stevens Creek store would open. Walmart has also opened neighborhood markets in Pleasanton at a shuttered Nob Hill Foods, and in San Ramon in an empty building at Country Club Village Shopping Center. Still other Walmart neighborhood markets have opened in an old Safeway store in West San Jose at Westgate Mall and at the former Lunardi's Market in the Evergreen area of southeast San Jose.
The new store on Monterey Highway will be part of a 20-acre retail complex called Sun Garden Center, a shopping center being developed by realty firm SDS NexGen Partners.
"We have a great new retail development coming for San Jose," said Michael Mulcahy, managing partner with San Jose-based SDS NexGen. "We will be breaking ground this October. Our goal is to have store openings by September 2014."
Mulcahy declined to comment about whether Walmart would be one of the tenants in the site, which is being marketed by commercial realty brokerage Meacham Oppenheimer. Nor did Walmart confirm it would open a store at the site. However, multiple sources familiar with the transaction said Walmart has struck a deal to open one of its neighborhood markets at the Sun Garden site, which is near Southern Lumber.
"Retailers are looking for strategic plays where they can expand in San Jose," Klein said. "They want to be in places like San Jose with dense populations and good demographics."

A new era in wetlands conservation began in May as Dale Hall took the helm as CEO of Ducks Unlimited. Having served as director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) from 2005-2009, this devoted family man, wetlands biologist, and avid sportsman brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to this important leadership position. Hall recently took a brief timeout from his busy schedule to answer a few questions from Ducks Unlimited.
I grew up in southeast Kentucky in Harlan County. After beginning college at the University of Kentucky, I spent four years in the U.S. Air Force. I completed my undergraduate degree at Cumberland College and went to graduate school at Eastern Kentucky University and Louisiana State University (LSU). I received a master's degree in fisheries science from LSU. My initial training in fisheries led me to wetlands conservation, which became my greatest interest throughout my career.
While I was at LSU, I met my wife of 34 years. We have three children—two daughters and a son. My career at the USFWS took a lot of twists and turns, and each of my children was born in a different state and in a different region of the country. My wife recently reminded me that moving to Memphis will be our ninth move.
Family is very important to me. Those of us who are fortunate enough to do something for a living that we are passionate about can't succeed without the love and support of our family. And that same sense of family also extends to the workplace. DU's many dedicated staff and volunteers are also a family, and that's how I see this organization.
I was very fortunate to be raised in a hunting and fishing family, and I was introduced to the outdoors at an early age. I believe hunting and the outdoors are in our DNA. Consider the peace that comes over you when you see the sun rise over a marsh or while you sit by a campfire on a fall night. When I'm out in a duck blind in the morning and the ducks are just starting to fly, I sometimes set my shotgun down and spend a minute or two being thankful. I'm thankful just to be there in such a beautiful place and to be doing what I enjoy right there at that moment. That's what hunting is really about, and that's where my passion for conservation comes from.
I love everything about waterfowl hunting. I love the wetlands, the birds, and the challenge of bringing a wary flock into the decoys. But I think what I love most is the camaraderie and the relationships that are built in a duck blind. I don't know of anything else you can do that builds stronger bonds between family and friends and that is more wholesome and pure than hunting and fishing. I've enjoyed hunting with my daughters and I've hunted with my son almost his entire life. I was there when he shot his first duck and when he took his first deer. But looking back, the harvesting of game was really irrelevant. What was most important is that we were together.
I love them all. Every species has a place in the ecosystem, and I enjoy hunting all of them. From the standpoint of beauty, a wood duck is hard to beat. And of course I really enjoy mallards and teal and the other popular species. But when I see a pintail cup and come down from about 1,000 feet high, there's nothing else like it.

Hi Michael
I am using your plugin with the premium extensions ZIP and Email.
Since some time (a month or so) I've noticed that the backup is not effective: they seem to never end.

The other problem is that I don't get notified either by email. So in the end, nothing works.

Miranda Lambert has now taken her place as the new Queen of Country Music, after winning a trio of Country Music Association awards. But it has certainly not been an easy road to the top, as Miranda explains. She was a favorite with critics, but had to wait for real commercial success. That happened with her breakout single, "White Liar," from her Revolution album. "I never even had a Top 5 before 'White Liar.' So, that was the song that pushed me to this next level," she says. Miranda adds that she hopes her CMA Awards will lead to more opportunities, in and outside of music.

In fifth grade May and Libby created Princess X together. For years after the two continued the story of the princess in the purple dress and red chucks who wields a katana. That is, until Libby and her mom drive off a bridge on a rainy night. Three years later, lonely May discovers a sticker of Princess X on a shop window. No one could have created it, except for Libby. It seems impossible, but May wonders if her friend might still be alive. This clever murder mystery trails May on her quest to find out what exactly happened the night that Libby and her mom died, and to find Libby if she did indeed survive. Fans of webcomics, suspense, and puzzles will love this book! I sure did!
Do you need more dinosaurs, time travelers, and girl power
in your life? If so, I have two fantastic graphic novels for you. First up, is Paper Girls, Volume 1 by Brian
K. Vaughn, the writer named by Wired Magazine as " the greatest comic book visionary of the last five years." This suspenseful mystery starts
with a slow burn as four paper delivery girls head out to cover their route the
morning after Halloween in 1988. After
the girls accidentally set off a strange machine, the story kicks off at
break-neck speed, and soon the girls are facing off against dinosaurs,
laser-blasting knights, and sub-human creatures that might just be from the future. It's intense, fast-paced, wicked
fun, and the series is only just beginning.
Also, make sure to check out the Lumberjanes series by Grace
Ellis and Noelle Stevenson. Lumberjanes follows five "hardcore lady types"
spending the summer at a crazy camp surrounded by bizarre supernatural
mysteries. The girls fight werewolves, solve riddles, and avoid the ever-watchful
eye of their group counselor in this manic, off-beat, fantastic read. This
series has been out for a while, but you can catch up on Hoopla digital.
Both of these series are a great mash-up of sci-fi, fantasy,
action, and mystery with fabulous artwork. So what are you waiting for?
In this captivating and honest memoir, Arin Andrews tells his story of being born in the wrong body. Growing up trapped in the body of a girl, knowing it didn't feel right, Arin struggles with his Christian school, living in the bible belt, and trying to bridge the rift between he and his mom, as he transitions from Emerald to Arin. This book is wonderfully written. Arin's voice is familiar, though I've never met him, and he tells his truth to the open reader.
Graphic novels have a reputation for being all about
superheroes and explosions, but they can be a really great format to tell more
nuanced stories as well. I'd like to shine a spotlight on two evocative,
character-focused, slice-of-life stories that really shine in a graphic novel
The first is a manga called Solanin by Inio Asano. The story
follows Meiko, a recent college grad, and her friends a group of 20-somethings
living in the background of a Japanese city. Over the course of the summer they
grapple with all of the challenges of new adulthood: starting careers, finding
their purpose in life, and how to break it to their parents that they've moved
in with their boyfriend. Though the characters are Japanese, the themes are
universal. Solanin is a novel with fantastic art work, and a story that will
stay with me for a long time.
The second graphic novel is called Token by Alisa Kwitney,
with illustrations by Joelle Jones. Token is a story about fifteen year old
Shira Spektor, living in Miami, Florida in 1987. She lives with her father in
an apartment building on South Beach, and spends most of her time with her best
friend, a spunky 80-year-old woman who shoots straight from the hip. When her
father starts dating his secretary, and the girls at school turn decidedly
nasty, Shira turns to shoplifting. Just when she feels that there's no one she
can talk to, she meets a tall handsome stranger. She is falling in love for the
first time just as everything else in her life seems to be falling apart. Token
is fun, flirty, and timeless.
Both books have a lazy summer vibe perfect for the upcoming
warmer months.
The best books offer a window into the lives of others through which we can learn and discover. They also offer a mirror through which we can see ourselves more clearly. This Raging Light by Estelle Laure is a recent teen favorite of mine that features the mental health of it's chracters. Seventeen-year-old Lucille is left alone with her little sister to struggle through each day, paying bills and going to school. Her father is institutionalized after a breakdown and her mother is "on vacation", maybe permanently. Lucille is forced to grow up faster than she expected and to learn to rely on others and accept their limitations. She is ultimately triumphant, learning much about forgiveness, grace, and her own strength.
May is Mental Health Awareness month and there are many great teen books where mental health is a significant part of the story. Books about mental illness can help remove stigma, educate, and advocate for understanding and improved services for those who need care. It's so important that teens have access to these books! Some of my other mental health favorites for teens include: It's Kind of a Funny Story, The Impossible Knife of Memory, The Unlikely Story of the Hero of Room 13b, and The Rest of Us Just Live Here.
For more books focused on mental health and teens, visit the lists at YA Highway and School Library Journal or ask your local librarian for suggestions.

I love magical realism, and this book is filled with it. Set in a small town in Brazil, Samuel finds himself newly orphaned and homeless. When his grandmother turns him away, he takes up residence within the head of St. Anthony. Supposedly the saint had brought the town only misfortune, but when Samuel starts to hear singing and prayers inside the head, life in the town changes. With all the attention being turned to the small town, the secrets of the past begin to be revealed, and Samuel's life in the small town is threatened. The characters are all so wonderfully written, and the story is filled with a magic that will stick with you long after you've closed the book.
Neil Gaiman is a favorite author of mine for a few reasons. First, whenever you read something of his, he sets the mood and the scene so well, you feel like you are in the book. Sometimes he transports you to a magical, fantastic place where you feel like you are on a great adventure. Other times it's a place of darkness and horror.
Surprisingly, The Graveyard Book feels more like a magical adventure. An orphan named Nobody Owens is raised in a graveyard by the ghost and a mysterious guardian. As he grows up, Nobody learns about the magic of the graveyard, while wondering about the world of the living. Think of it like The Jungle Book, but in a graveyard.
One of my favorite books of 2015 was Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. I don't buy into that whole "don't judge a book by it's cover" thing as a rule. I think we all pick up books sometimes just because something grabs us about the cover. That's how it was for me with this one. The cover grabbed me, the premise was interesting, and I was hooked. I did almost threw it across the room towards the end and then I picked it back up, finished it, and now haven't stopped talking about it.
This is the story of a teenage girl who's literally allergic to everything (everything). She has never been anywhere because she might die. Of course she meets a love interest who she communicates with through web messages. And everything (everything) gets more complicated from there. To really live her life, she will have to challenge everything (everything) she's ever known. As a mom, this book made me cry good tears thinking about the utter joy and grief of raising children to grow up and make their own choices. As a person who loves teens and teen books, it made me soar. I've recommended it to every teen book reader I know. It's quick and has everything (everything) I like in a teen book. Angst. Romance. True Love. Meaning of life questions. Voice. Compelling characters. To quote School Library Journal, it's just "wonderful, wonderful."
Stop everything you are doing and read this book. Then, share this book with someone else. If you know a high school teacher, tell them to have every student that crosses their path read this book. Need a book for a book discussion, reader's theater, or classroom read aloud? Here is your choice! Let all of the teenage youth in your life read this book. Parents - read this book and talk with your children about racism in America. Talk about violence and the moments that change you forever. Talk about the small things, like stopping for a bag of chips; that lead to big things like a protest with a die in. This unforgettable story of two teenagers is an opening to essential conversation. All American Boys takes place over one week in the lives of Rashad and Quinn, told in alternating voices from award winning authors, Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely.
"Rashad is absent again today." – The graffiti is a reminder of what has happened and a call to action for students and teachers at Springfield High School. This short phrase will stick with the reader long after the end.
2016 gives us the inaugural winner of the Walter Dean Myers Award for Outstanding Children's Literature – Youth Literature Category. The Walter Dean Myers Award, also known as "The Walter," is named for prolific children's and young adult author Walter Dean Myers (1937 – 2014). Myers was a National Ambassador for Young People's Literature as well as a champion of diversity in children's and YA books. We Need Diverse Books announced on Monday that All American Boys is the first winner of this prestigious award! Congratulations to Jason and Brendan! The American Library Association also awarded All American Boys the 2016 Coretta Scott King Honor Award earlier this month. When Walter Dean Myers visited Kalamazoo Public Library in August 2013, he told us that "Reading is Not Optional." Take his advice, make reading All American Boys not optional for you!

Beowulf Religion Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line). We used Seamus Heaney's Beowulf: A New Verse Translation, published in 2000 by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux.
Quote #1
Afterwards a boy-child was sent to Shield,
a cub in the yard, a comfort sent
by God to that nation. He knew what they had tholed,
the long times and troubles they'd come through
without a leader; so the Lord of Life,
the glorious Almighty, made this man renowned. (12-17)
Quote #2
Then a powerful demon, a prowler through the dark,
nursed a hard grievance. It harrowed him
to hear the din of the loud banquet
every day in the hall, the harp being struck
and the clear song of a skilled poet
telling with mastery of man's beginnings,
how the Almighty had made the earth
a gleaming plain girdled with waters;
in His splendour He set the sun and the moon
to be earth's lamplight, lanterns for men,
and filled the broad lap of the world
with branches and leaves; and quickened life
in every other thing that moved. (86-98)
Grendel's demonic nature is rubbed the wrong way by a bard's recitation of the story of Creation. Notice that this description of the creation of the world is an unusual mishmash of pagan and Christian imagery, reminding us of the complex religious background of the poem – told by Christians, but about pagans.
Quote #3
Grendel was the name of this grim demon
haunting the marches, marauding round the heath
and the desolate fens; he had dwelt for a time
in misery among the banished monsters,
Cain's clan, whom the creator had outlawed
and condemned as outcasts. For the killing of Abel
the Eternal Lord had exacted a price:
Cain got no good from committing that murder
because the Almighty made him anathema
and out of the curse of his exile there sprang
ogres and elves and evil phantoms
and the giants too who strove with God
time and again until He gave them their reward. (102-114)
It's no accident that the only Biblical story specifically referred to in Beowulf is the tale of Cain and Abel, two brothers who took part in a murderous feud. In medieval Scandinavia, tribe against tribe and clan against clan often came down to fratricidal combat. Grendel represents the ultimate evil in this culture because he's the descendant of a man who killed his brother. Another villain of the poem, Unferth, is also condemned by the narrator because he killed his brothers.

I can't reproduce this:
In [1]: from t17774.forms import EmployeeForm In [2]: f = EmployeeForm() In [3]: f.is_valid() Out[3]: False
I'm using the sqlite DB backend.
is_valid() doesn't return True when instantiating an EmployeeForm without initial data to create a new Employee instance and without an associated existing Employee model instance to edit.
To the contributor that opened the ticket: reopen it if you can provide full details about your setup and if you can confirm the form handling code you are using is effectively the one you've pasted above.

Well, I can't reproduce with 1.3.1 and Postgres either.
Something I did nos stress enough in my previous comment is that there is not point and I see no way is_valid() can return True
for a ModelForm instance that has been instantiated like you did because you aren't validating any user-provided input. I suggest to read the relevant documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/#using-a-form-in-a-view and search for help in user support channels.

Columbia Seminary Participates in Presbyterian PLSE Internship Program
Decatur, GA.— PLSE, the Atlanta-based Presbyterian Pastoral Leadership Search Effort, exists to identify and cultivate gifted young people interested in exploring ministry as a vocation. It is a lay-inspired joint initiative with The Fund for Theological Education. PLSE is offering a summer internship at Columbia for Master of Divinity students. Students can earn two units of credit for a full-time internship. Under the direction of Columbia's Supervised Ministry Office, the internship will include preaching and teaching on "vocation," as well as ministering to PLSE's on-line community and writing curriculum for its vocational programs. Lee Carroll, associate professor of supervised ministry at Columbia, says, "The PLSE internship offers theological students an excellent opportunity to think through their own vocation, while at the same time helping others consider new forms of Christian service into which God might be calling them." Columbia Seminary Board of Trustees member John Aldridge, who is also an elder at Atlanta's Peachtree Presbyterian Church, founded the PLSE initiative in 2003. He developed the project in consultation with a wide variety of Presbyterians—including seminary and denominational staff, pastors, and elders—as a way to address the shortage of pastors in the Presbyterian Church (USA). For more information about the PLSE internship, contact Rhonda Weary in Columbia's Office of Supervised Ministry at 404-687-4519 or e-mail email@example.com. Columbia Theological Seminary, located in Decatur, Georgia, was established in 1828 and is one of 10 theological institutions of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

You and your girlfriend seem made for each other. She is the woman you have always wanted, and you can't imagine spending your life without her a part of it. You decide you are going to take the leap and ask her to marry you, but first, you need to find the perfect ring. Unfortunately, you don't have an unlimited budget, so the ring has to be something on the less expensive side. You know your budget is $1000 or less, and fortunately in this price range there are a lot of beautiful engagement rings to be had. There are a lot of places you can get engagement rings under 1000 dollar, with a wide variety of styles, sizes, colors, and stones.
One of the first places you should consider looking for engagement rings under $1000 is craigslist. People are often looking to get rid of items they no longer use or wear on the website. Perhaps the woman who is newly divorced is looking for a clean slate, and wants to get rid of her old engagement ring–you can find beautiful jewelry and amazing diamonds on craigslist for pennies on the dollar. If you do want to make a purchase from a seller on craigslist, ask them to meet you at a local jeweler so you can be sure it is worth the asking price as well as be sure the gemstone is a genuine diamond.
Be sure to check local jewelers, as well, for engagement rings under 1000 dollar. You will be surprised at the deals some jewelers will have. Many sell engagement rings on consignment as well, so you can get a fabulous deal on a beautiful diamond engagement ring. When you purchase an engagement ring directly from a jeweler, most often you will be given a certificate of authenticity with it, as well as regular inspections on the jewelry to make sure none of the stones are coming loose. Even if there are no consignment engagement rings, you can get plenty of engagement rings under $1000 at a jeweler. Most will be under one carat total weight for a diamond, but will most likely be certified, and it will also be brand new.
If you are looking for something a little different, there are plenty of engagement rings under $1000 if you consider other gemstones other than a diamond. While diamonds are certainly traditional as an engagement stone, there is no hard and fast rule that says it must be a diamond. Perhaps her favorite gemstone with a beautiful setting would be more fitting to her style, as well as your budget. It will certainly be different from anything her friends have, and will be a very thoughtful symbol to her of how much you love her and how much thought you put into it. Cubic Zirconia are another option for purchasing engagement rings under $1000. They have the look of a diamond, but are only a fraction of the price. You can get an absolutely exquisite Cubic Zirconia ring in a beautiful setting for a small price of what you would pay for a diamond engagement ring.
Pawn shops are another good place to go to get engagement rings under $1000. There is a lot of beautiful jewelry in pawn shops. While many people often don't want to think about purchasing an engagement ring from a pawn shop because of the stigma associated with them, they can be a great place to find a beautiful stone for a fraction of the price of a jeweler. Pawn shops are fairly good at identifying true diamonds and precious metals, so if you do purchase from a pawn shop you can be fairly certain the diamond is genuine, and it won't turn her finger green.
When you decide to take the step to get married, you want to give the woman of your dreams the perfect ring. In today's economy, however, many people are struggling just to put food on the table, so purchasing an engagement ring is not a huge priority. There are a lot of ways you can get a beautiful ring on a budget, however. You can find engagement rings under 1000 dollar that she will be proud to wear. A tight budget doesn't necessarily mean a tiny diamond for your soon-to-be-fiancee. You can find beautiful stones at a fraction of the price by doing your homework and looking in places you might not have considered before.

The Thompson campaign emails to announce they've had to shut down the doors at a couple of today's campaign events because of overcrowding.
As I said, I think we're about to see what will later be described as an "amazing turnaround" for Fred in South Carolina.
Of course, it will only be amazing to the mainstream media, which hoped that ignoring Thompson would make him go away.
UPDATE: Instapundit.com –
THE NEW YORK TIMES reports that Fred Thompson is surging in South Carolina. And I just got an email from a journalist who says that crowds at Thompson events are suddenly over-capacity. Is it a tipping point for Thompson, or just a blip? Stay tuned.
Yes, I did see this coming. Can you help? Yes, you can.
