Casa Luciano is a small but charmingly restored old farm house. It is nearly completely overgrown with wild vines. Inside you find high beamed ceilings and white washed walls. As the smallest of the three houses it offers space for a maximum of two adults and a child. There is no separate living area, just a tiny dining area and a small kitchenette which is very well equipped. It has a small sofa and reading spot dividing the room and one king size bed. The bathroom has a big shower, wash basin and toilet.
The balcony, which has seating for three people and a sun shade, faces the south with a very nice view onto the beautiful pool below and the wonderful countryside.
A cosy terrace with two large sun beds in front of the house provides a perfect view to the pool and the olive grove. Great for a sun downer.
Casa Luciano is the perfect cottage for people who love to do lots of sightseeing or spend their day by the pool. It is just perfect for people who love a romantic and cosy place
Eine für uns perfekte Ferienanlage bestehend aus vier Häusern (drei davon zur Miete), weitläufigem Garten und riesigem lagunenartigem Pool. Sehr gepflegt und sauber. Ausstattung und Service waren nicht zu beanstanden. Tolle Aussicht und absolute Ruhe. In den Ort Campagnatico mit kleinem Supermarkt waren es nur 3 Minuten, nach Grosseto nur 15 Minuten und selbst ans Meer nur 30 Minuten. Casa Luciano war für zwei Personen ideal und es fehlte uns an nichts. Absolute Empfehlung!!!
As this was our 2nd stay (1st stay 3 years ago also in July) we knew what we had rented but still the place blew us away again. The perfect settings for a beutiful holiday. Even this time with a baby everything worked out nicely. The pizza owen was again a great hit (and after showing the scottish and swedish people staying in the other houses how it worked we meet up 2 evenings for pizza for 6 adults and 6 kids.) Thanks for renting out this perfect place for a retreat in the country side. Once again a perfect holiday. Also a great thanks to the hotel in the nearby village for housing our friends for 1 night as they stopped by to visit us in our paridise farm house. Looking forward to stay again in a couple of years. Kind regards Minnie, Connie and Thomas from London.
Stau was perfect
We had a wonderful stay in Mel's and Thomas' Casa Luciano. The whole property is very nice. A huge pool surrounded by olive trees is the highlight. Perfect Tuscany atmosphere. Strict recommendation for everyone who loves a remote, private atmosphere. Big thanks to our hosts!
Dear Mel
As always, this hidden away paradise still is
a wonderful place to recharge your batteries.
We all loved our second stay here, and it will
Definitely not be the last:)

Hi liebe Mel,
jetzt sind wir schon wieder einige Wochen zurück im tristen und verregneten Deutschland und ich wollte schon längst geschrieben haben…
Wir hatten einen megaentspannten Urlaub in eurem traumhaften Anwesen und hätten es uns nicht schöner vorstellen können. Wir wussten zwar aufgrund der tollen Fotos und der guten Bewertungen, was uns in etwa erwartet, aber es war tatsächlich noch viel schöner - paradiesisch geradezu!
Das Haus ist perfekt ausgestattet (ein Ferienhaus mit zwei Kühlschränken und Salatschleuder und Bodum Teekanne hatten wir noch nie) und es mangelte eigentlich an nichts - okay - das Bügeleisen und Bügelbrett, aber das erwartet man nicht wirklich! Es gab herrlich viele Kissen im bequemen Bett und alles war so suüersüss hergerichtet. Daniela war entzückend und wir haben uns bestens mit Händen und Füssen mit ihr unterhalten.
Und vielen Dank nochmals für deine vielen Tipps und das schnelle Helfen, egal ob Bügeleisen oder Pizzateigrezept;)
Garten und Pool sind sowieso der Hammer und wir sind endlos viel geschwommen in eurer türkisfarbenen Lagune :)
Wir hatten eine wirklich tolle Zeit bei euch und freuen uns schon auf unsere nächste Toscana-Experience, vielleicht ja mal im Spätsommer und mit Freunden.
Happy Greetings aus Berlin von Tina, Andi und Kaya
We were amazed when we arrived...the biggest pool we have seen at a holiday property and so well and charmingly integrated into the wonderful Tuscan landscape. We swam every morning and did not even want to drive the 30 minutes to the sea, as it was so beautiful. From our terrace we could overlook the green fields and hills and spent the most romantic evenings together. The house is very well equipped. When we arrived everything was prepared in a most caring and perfect way. Internet connection worked well, but we decided it was time to leave our mobile phones aside and enjoy the stunning nature. During our time period, the nightingales were singing and after sunset, hundreds of glow worms were presenting a rare spectacle. Here romantic nature and perfect luxury are a match. It was so hard to leave - we want to come back next year!
At the beautiful and charming little medieval (c.1200 century) village of Campagnatico (700 inhabitants) you will find a small supermarket, a pharmacy, a butcher, a bakery, a bank, a post office, two bars and three restaurants: a pizza place, a trattoria and a very luxurious one (which is an insider's tip). The next big town is Grosseto, just 18 km away. There you will find everything you need including huge supermarkets, fresh fish markets and a really nice shopping area and walking zone. Campagnatico is located exactly in the middle of a triangle between the three big cities of Florence, Pisa and Rome. There is also good railway connection between these three cities and Grosseto, which is great for arriving to the farm, as well as for sightseeing. The big and beautiful nature reserve 'Parco naturale della Maremma' and the nicest beaches of the Maremma region such as Punta Ala, Monte Argentario, Castiglione della Pescaia are in only half an hour by car from the property.
Other Activities: wine tasting
Golf: 2 different 18 holes Golf Courses located within 40km from the property, open all the year: "Golf Club Toscana - Il Pelagone" (35 km) and "Golf Club Punta Ala" (about 35 km).
'Il Pelagone' is 18 holes, 5.920m, and PAR 71-SSS 70, with many facilities: training field, putting green, pro shop, hire cart, golf bags and trolley, bar, swimming-pool, volley, baby-sitting. During winter is closed on Wednesday.

Herbert Simon: When CS was interdisciplinary and multi-cultural
I'm teaching our introductory course in Human-Centered Computing for new PhD students this Fall. I have a huge reading list to review, including Latour, Geertz, Russell & Norvig, Goffman, Tufte, and so on.
I got to re-read Herbert Simon's Sciences of the Artificial. I was struck by this quote at the end of Chapter 5.
Those of us who have lived close to the development of the modern computer through gestation and infancy have been drawn from a wide variety of professional fields, music being one of them. We have noticed the growing communication among intellectual disciplines that takes place around the computer. We have welcomed it, because it has brought us into contact with new worlds of knowledge—has helped us combat our own multiple-cultures isolation. This breakdown of old disciplinary boundaries has been much commented upon, and its connection with computers and the information sciences often noted.
Simon, Herbert A. (1996-09-26). The Sciences of the Artificial (MIT Press) (p. 137). The MIT Press.
I believe that the early days of computing were interdisciplinary and multi-cultural. Those interdisciplinary and multi-cultural forces created computer science, but once created, new cultures formed without continuing interdisciplinary and multi-cultural influences. What Simon did not foresee was the development of unique technology-centric culture(s), such as the Reddit culture and Silicon Valley Culture (as described in Forbes and New Yorker). Valuing multiculturalism and diverse perspectives in the early days of computing is in sharp contrast to today's computing world. (Think Gamergate.)
Note who is considered a computer scientist today. In the early days of computer science as a discipline, faculty in the computer science department would have degrees from mathematics, electrical engineering, philosophy, and psychology. Today, you rarely find a computer science faculty member without a computer science degree. When I first started my PhD in Education and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, one of the CS graduate advisors tried to talk me out of it. "No CS department is going to hire you with an Education degree!" Fortunately for me, he was wrong, but not far wrong. There are few CS faculty in the US today who have a credential in education — that's not a successful add-on for a CS academic. That's a far cry from the world described in Simon's quote.
Computer Science Looks Beyond Nerds: Yeah, we still need to say it
The comments from students in the article below from Duke are just like the ones I hear from my students when I ask them how our introductory class is going. "Way better than I expected" and "I thought it would be all geeky" and "I can see using this!" You'd think with all the press about computing education these days that we would wouldn't still have to explain all of this, but yeah, we do.
"I thought I would be surrounded by tech geeks who sat alone at their computers all day," Walker said. "But I came to realize that computer science lets you do things that are applicable to all sorts of fields."
Now she's using her new computational savvy to expand a nonprofit she founded in high school to raise money for an elephant sanctuary in Thailand.
"You wouldn't think that running a nonprofit requires a lot of technical skills, but it does," she said. "You get a problem and you think, 'I could solve this on paper and it would take me 25 hours, or I can write one line of code and all of a sudden there's my answer.' The efficiency of it is super cool."

A few words on Doug Engelbart
Doug Engelbart, visionary whose inventions led to the modern mouse, hypertext, computer-supported collaborative work, died on July 2 at age 88. Bret Victor wrote a wonderful piece about how statements about Doug's inventions (like I just made) miss the point about what he was really trying to do. Recommended, and linked below.
If you truly want to understand NLS, you have to forget today. Forget everything you think you know about computers. Forget that you think you know what a computer is. Go back to 1962. And then read his intent.
The least important question you can ask about Engelbart is, "What did he build?" By asking that question, you put yourself in a position to admire him, to stand in awe of his achievements, to worship him as a hero. But worship isn't useful to anyone. Not you, not him.
The most important question you can ask about Engelbart is, "What world was he trying to create?" By asking that question, you put yourself in a position to create that world yourself.

Resolved: Academic CS will never meet the needs of the IT Profession
Would love to be in London on 12 June to hear this debate! The blurb describing the debate does a balanced job of laying out the questions.
"This house believes that Academic Education will never meet the skills needs of the IT Profession"
'Universities are failing to educate graduates with the skills we need' – this is the oft heard complaint by employers of IT graduates. Does the problem start in school with the dire state of ICT teaching and assessment at GCSE and A Level? Should academia be trying to produce graduates with only 'employable skills' that have a shelf life of at best a couple of years? Are employers really expecting universities to produce a mature, rounded professional with 20 years experience straight out of university? Is it reasonable to expect Academia to bridge the skills gap when employers are not prepared to provide a robust career path for IT professionals?

Definitions of "Code" and "Programmer": Response to "Please Don't Learn to Code"
Audrey Watters' excellent post on Learning to Code in 2012 pointed me to Jeff Atwood's piece (linked at the bottom). I want everyone to learn code, so I am in direct contradiction to his position, "Please don't learn to Code." Jeff and I disagree primarily on two points, both of which are issues of definition:
- Most people who write code are not trying to create code solutions. Most people who write code are trying to find solutions or create non-code solutions. By "most people," I do mean quantitatively and I do mean all people, not just professional programmers. We know that there are many more people who write code to accomplish some task, as compared to professional programmers. When I visited the NASA Goddard Visualization Lab last month, I met the director Horace Mitchell, who told me that everyone there writes code, whether they are computer scientists or not. They write code in order to explore their data and create effects that they couldn't given existing visualization systems. They are trying to create great visualizations, not great code. They simply throw the code away afterward. This is a critical difference between what Jeff is describing and what I hope to see. We agree that the goal is a solution. I want everyone to have the possibility of using code to create their solution, not to create code as the solution.
- Most people who program are not and don't want to be software developers. Most of the people that I teach (non-CS majors, high school teachers) have zero interest in becoming programmers. They don't want to be "addicted to code." They don't want a career that requires them to code. They want to use coding for their own ends. Brian Dorn's graphic designers are a great case in point. Over 80% of those who answered his surveys said "No, I am not a programmer," but everyone who answered his surveys wrote programs of 100 lines or more. Not everyone who "programs" wants to be known as a "programmer."
The problem is that we in computer science often have blinders on when it comes to computing — we only see people who relate to code and programming as we do, as people in our peer group and community do. There are many people who code because of what it lets them do, not because they want the resulting code.
"You should be learning to write as little code as possible. Ideally none." And people who want to do interesting, novel things with computers should just wait until a software developer gets around to understanding what they want and coding it for them? I could not disagree more. That's like saying that the problem with translating the Bible is that it made all that knowledge accessible to lay people, when they should have just waited for the Church to explain it to them. "Please don't learn to code" can be interpreted as "Please leave the power of computing to us, and we'll let you know when we'll make some available to you."
It assumes that more code in the world is an inherently desirable thing. In my thirty year career as a programmer, I have found this … not to be the case. Should you learn to write code? No, I can't get behind that. You should be learning to write as little code as possible. Ideally none.
It assumes that coding is the goal. Software developers tend to be software addicts who think their job is to write code. But it's not. Their job is to solve problems. Don't celebrate the creation of code, celebrate the creation of solutions. We have way too many coders addicted to doing just one more line of code already.

More Universities Should Teach Computer Science and Not be Shut Down
Following the announced restructuring of the University of Florida CS program and this classic quote about how Yale shouldn't be in the business of teaching "trade skills" (meaning, applied software engineering), I'm going to argue that more (not all, but more) academic computer science programs should be shut down or reorganized.
via More Universities Should Shut Down Their Computer Science Programs | Jeffrey McManus.
That's an interesting claim. Unfortunately, the argument isn't very convincing..
1. Most undergraduates and professionals actually want to learn applied software engineering, not "computer science." So? That's not all that industry most wants to hire. That's not what society most needs.
2. University undergraduates are not discriminating consumers of education. Agreed, which again gets back to why we would care (in Step #1) that that's what undergraduates think that they want.
3. It should not be necessary for two universities located within commuting distance of each other to have the same academic department. I guess it depends on how large you can make the classrooms and how effective the teachers are at motivating large groups of students to reach completion. Part of the growth of universities has been spurred on by increased demand. I'm not sure how this statement fits into the overall argument.
4. Applied software engineering is a discipline that lends itself to being effectively taught online. Definitely an intriguing claim, but I'm not sure that I agree. Really good software engineering is a design activity, which is best learned in a reflective apprenticeship setting — the kind of high-bandwidth communication that we can't do yet well on-line. Further, online learning is still hard to do with multiple modalities (yes, you can watch a video, but you can't read the screen well; and the tools to provide audio narration for clearly-readable code are still developing), and there's evidence to believe that multiple modalities are key to learning to read code well.
5. Most university computer courses simply aren't that good if your goal is to get a job doing applied software engineering. I might be willing to agree here, but it's not clear (a) that we should be teaching only applied software engineering in universities, (b) that students most need applied software engineering, and (c) that it's not better for everyone (industry, society, students) to aim to teach CS better.
6. University academic departments in general should have limited charters and should be reorganized frequently. That's another interesting claim, and one I might support, but still doesn't seem connected to the argument that University CS departments should be shut down.
How do CS students make educational decisions? Previewing Mike Hewner's PhD Defense
Mike Hewner may be the most technically adept student with whom I've worked — he's a former Senior Software Engineer from Amazon. He's written probably the most intensely qualitative dissertation of any student with whom I've worked. Mike used a grounded theory approach with 37 interviews. The amount of analysis and coding he did is staggering.
His question is one that impacts all computer science teachers. We know (from lots of sources) that students don't really understand computer science. Mike set out to document how students' misunderstandings lead them astray in their CS undergraduate degree program, e.g., avoiding some classes because they misunderstood what they were about, or pursuing some specialization because they thought it was something that it really wasn't. The surprising result was that he didn't really find evidence of that. Instead, students simply trusted the curriculum — they didn't know what was coming, but they didn't worry about it.
As I learned from Mike's process, grounded theory results in a "theory," i.e. a description of a mechanism. Mike's theory describes how students make educational decisions. His theory tells us that factors that shouldn't really matter (like whether the intro course is at 8 am) do impact decisions like whether to pursue CS as a major. I'll give away Mike's punchline: Students use "enjoyment" to decide if they have an affinity for a subject. They turn the question "Should I be a CS major? Am I good at it?" into "Did I enjoy my CS class? Did I enjoy another class more?" They don't really distinguish between "I have a hard time understanding functions" and "The class was at 8 am" or "That was a lousy teacher." Not enjoyment means no affinity, which means look for something else. Once students decide that they have an affinity for something, they do develop a more goal-based decision making process — they'll stick through the hard classes, because it helps them achieve the goal of the degree that they've decided that they have an affinity for.
Mike is defending on Friday — I'm really looking forward to it. I heard the practice talk Tuesday and was impressed. Assuming all goes well, Mike will be joining Rose-Hulman in the Spring.
Title: Student Conceptions About the Field of Computer ScienceMichael HewnerHuman-Centered ComputingSchool of Interactive ComputingCollege of ComputingGeorgia Institute of TechnologyDate: Friday, November 2, 2012Time: 1:00-4:00pmLocation: TSRB 132Committee:————-Prof. Mark Guzdial (Advisor, College of Computing, Georgia Instituteof Technology)Prof. Amy Bruckman (College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology)Prof. Keith Edwards (College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology)Prof. Ellen Zegura (College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology)Prof. Yasmin Kafai (School of Graduate Education, University of Pennsylvania)Abstract:————-Computer Science is a complex field, and even experts do not alwaysagree how the field should be defined. Though a moderate amount isknown about how precollege students think about the field of CS, lessis known about how CS majors' conceptions of the field develop duringthe undergraduate curriculum. Given the difficulty of understandingCS, how do students make educational decisions like what electives orspecializations to pursue?This work presents a theory of student conceptions of CS, based on 37interviews with students and student advisers and analyzed with agrounded theory approach. Students tend to have one of three mainviews about CS: CS as an academic discipline focused on themathematical study of algorithms, CS as mostly about programming butalso incorporating supporting subfields, and CS as a broad disciplinewith many different (programming and non-programming) subfields. Ihave also developed and piloted a survey instrument to determine howprevalent each kind of conception in the undergraduate population.I also present a theory of student educational decisions in CS.Students do not usually have specific educational goals in CS andinstead take an exploratory approach to their classes. Particularlyenjoyable or unenjoyable classes cause them to narrow theireducational focus. As a result, students do not reason very deeplyabout the CS content of their classes when they make educationaldecisions.This work makes three main contributions: the theory of studentconceptions, the theory of student educational decisions, and thepreliminary survey instrument for evaluating student conceptions.This work has applications in CS curriculum design as well as forfuture research in the CS education community.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Term Paper:
The second means is that of developing specific HRM policies which are tailored to the context of the firm and its respective situation and needs.
At an overall organizational level, the modern day importance of complex human resources management system is represented by the means in which HRM generates competitive advantages, namely:
HRM creates content employees who are more likely to produce high quality work and create more value for the economic agent
HRM supports the company in generating more funds. Specifically, this objective is attained by the strong and positive reputation a solid HRM policy creates for the firm, reputation which is valued by investors
HRM supports the development and implementation of common values, which in turn support the development and implementation of long-term sustainable strategies
HRM policies ensure the firm with the best skilled staff members, which would be able to ensure a most efficient allocation of the organizational resources
HRM creates an organizational culture focused on quality and performance
HRM systems allow the company to implement change in a less disruptive manner. Specifically, the implementation of change is often a tedious process which meets resistance. HRM helps reduce the resistance to change and supports the implementation of change in an efficient manner.
Finally, the human resources system enhances and strengthens the organizational core competencies (Simms).
4. The HR system alignment at the economic agent
The managerial team at the software organization has understood the importance of an adequate human resources management system and has strived to create the components which ensure employee satisfaction and as such enhanced organizational advantages. Their efforts would be discussed below, but at a general level, it has to be noted that the HRM objectives of the firm have yet to be fully attained. With this realization in mind, several recommendations would be offered throughout the following section. Nevertheless, this current section focuses on the means in which the components of the HRM system align and support each other, as well as on the means in which they impact employee morale, organizational efficiency and productivity, employees' balance between life and work and the internal climate and organizational culture. The components of the HRM system to be addressed refer to the following:
a) Job design issues
b) Training activities
c) Recruitment activities
d) Selection approaches used
e) Performance appraisal systems
f) Promotion systems implemented
g) Pay parts and other benefits
h) General supervisory styles
a) Job design issues
The job design represents the process by which internal parties organize the tasks and responsibilities of a position in order to ensure that the occupant of the job best serves organizational goals. There are three categories of issues which impact job design, namely:
Organizational factors, which refer to: task characteristics, environmental factors, ergonomics and work practices
Environmental factors which include: the abilities and availability of the employees and the social and cultural expectations
The behavioral factors which include: the feedback received, the autonomy of the parties, the use of abilities and variety (Hub Pages, 2011).
The job design supports the HRM system through its ability to identify the necessary skills required from a future employee, and it as such increases the efficiency of the selection and recruitment stages. Additionally, a properly completed job design also supports training programs by integrating skilled and qualified staff members, which are not only capable to perform their assigned tasks, but which are also able to understand and add new knowledge.
At the level of the impacts job design generates upon various organizational elements, the following are noteworthy:
A high quality job design process allows the company to effectively recruit the desired candidates, which in turn means that the selected individuals would be easily integrated to increase their efforts and support the company's productivity and efficiency
The job design also impacts the levels of employee satisfaction. The job is a central part in the life of any individual and a good job design increases the levels of employee satisfaction. Specifically, in order for the job design to generate high levels of employee morale, it is expected to define and stimulate job involvement, job satisfaction, competence, productivity and job performance (Kondalkar).
b) Training activities
Training activities are generically understood as processes by which an employee is introduced to new knowledge which would help him / her better perform their professional tasks. Within the software organization, training programs are offered for two straight months upon the individual/s hiring within the firm. The training programs revolve primary around the presentation of the project to which the new employee would be assigned with the scope of familiarizing the developer with the project and with the customer. During these two months, the new employee would also be delegated to interact directly with the customers.
The means in which training supports the other stages of the HRM system refers to the following:
The degree to which the employee has learnt and implemented the teachings in the training sessions impact his performance and as such the appraisals to which he/she would be subjected, as well as the promotions he/she could be offered
The degree to which the employee has participated and capitalized on the teachings of the training programs impact the pay and other benefits he/she would receive in the future.
At the level of impacts, training programs have the important dual benefit of positively impacting both organizational productivity and efficiency, as well as the levels of employee morale. On the one hand, training programs prepare the staff members and enhance their professional skills and abilities. This in turn translates into higher performances, efficiency and productivity. On the other hand however, training is welcomed by the developers who see the sessions as opportunities for professional development. In a different formulation, employees who are trained gain an increased sense of confidence in their professional future, and they as such become better satisfied.
c) Recruitment activities
The recruitment operations at the software firm are completed through both traditional as well as modern medias, such as advertisements in the local press, online advertisements or ads through the local employment agency. These operations impact the components of the HRM system at the level of organizational efficiency and productivity. In this order of ideas, when the recruitment processes are tedious, resources are consumed and organizational efficiency and productivity are negatively impacted. Vice versa, when recruitment is quick and efficient, organizational efficiency and productivity are supported.
A high quality recruitment mechanism also supports an efficient selection process through the targeting of the adequate candidates.
d) Selection approaches used
At the level of the selection approaches, the firm focuses on a complex set of interviews, composed primarily from thee interviews -- the interview between the candidate and the company's HR representative, the technical interview and the psychological interview.
An efficient selection process is supported by the recruitment processes and in turn it supports the promotions and the appraisals. For instance, in the selection stages, the skills of the candidate are observed. At a future point in time, they are compared with the skills gained and the comparison supports the appraisal systems, the promotions which the employee could be offered and the pay and other benefits he/she could receive.
The selection process generates a direct impact on organizational efficiency and productivity in a relationship based on resource consumption -- as has been described throughout the previous sub-section. A fair and objective selection process also generates employee morale and improves the organizational culture.
e) Performance appraisal systems
The performance appraisal system at the software organization is relatively complex and consists of sustained observations of the employee in question, as well as conversations, direct interactions and analysis of the employees and his/her performance through their own lenses, as well as from the standpoint of their colleagues, supervisors and the customers with whom they interact.
The performance appraisal system supports the pay and other benefits system, as well as the promotions. Additionally, an objective appraisal also contributes to the creation of a pleasant and fruitful working environment, in which all staff members are presented with the same opportunities.
At the level of the impacts, the appraisal system generates employee morale and satisfaction due to the sense of fair opportunities to be evaluated, as well as due to the opportunity to explain and self-promote oneself. Also, an efficient appraisal system supports organizational efficiency and productivity. The scope of the appraisal process at the firm is that of being conducted without disrupting the operations at the company. All these components and features of the appraisal system contribute to the creation of a positive working environment.
f) Promotion systems implemented
The promotions offered are based on the results of the appraisal processes and this supports organizational efficiency and productivity through the elimination of inefficiencies due to frustrations. Additionally, employee morale is generated. Finally, recruitment also supports the systems of pay and other bonuses to be received. At a general level, the staff members which are promoted are presented with an increase in wage which stimulates morale and a positive…[continue]

Essential Mental Functions: the new senior developers are expected to reveal fair behavior towards their colleagues, subalterns, supervisors and clients.

Low Fat/Cal Diets are a Wasted Promise.
E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic has infertility issues that she concludes are a result of her age (35).
But just looking at Giuliana, you have to wonder if her difficulty in having children is more than just age. After all, there are plenty of 35-year-olds, not in Hollywood, who are conceiving naturally.
I'm not picking on skinny girls. I'm raising the point that Giuliana and her doctors have not looked at the importance of nutrition. It looks like there's a case for malnourishment here. I doubt that she's at her ideal body weight after seeing her daily diet & exercise regimen—she works (and starves) for that body. There's been some sane talk of her needing to gain weight, but her gaining the prescribed 5 pounds doesn't cover it, as my cohort Annmarie writes on cheeseslave.com.
What about nutrition?
If she wants to help other women by showing them the hurdles of infertility, I hope she gets to the bottom line: How can you conceive on a diet so low in essential nutrients like fat, carbs and calories? And I might add, do you really need to eat like that to be slim and fit?
This news also gave me the chance to see I'm not doing that bad..! I eat more calories in one meal than Giuliana does in a day (yes, literally). My high fat, real food diet including butter and eggs (with the yolks) is serving me very well. I never thought I'd post a bikini pic (above left), but I was having a proud moment.
I don't kill myself with workouts and tons of cardio, I ask for extra butter when eating out (she makes sure no butter passes her lips) and I eat a lot of real, high quality, nutrient dense food. It's because of this diet that I get to be so relaxed about calories and fat and haven't had to worry about my weight since discovering this way of eating. I used to be a "dieter" like Giuliana, so her situation was a chance to remember where I've come from.
I'm shouting out to all the women who think they need to keep themselves on a shoestring regimen (a strict low fat/low carb/low sugar/low calorie/high cardio diet) to look good. It's not that hard!
If you want to find out more about what I eat, feel free tosend me an email.

So far as I can see, all political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. . . To appreciate the danger of Fascism the Left would have had to admit its own shortcomings, which was too painful; so the whole phenomenon was ignored or misinterpreted, with disastrous results.
The most one can say is that people can be fairly good prophets when their wishes are realizable. But a truly objective approach is almost impossible, because in one form or another almost everyone is a nationalist… The most intelligent people seem capable of holding schizophrenic beliefs, or disregarding plain facts, of evading serious questions with debating-society repartees, or swallowing baseless rumours and of looking on indifferently while history is falsified. All these mental vices spring ultimately from the nationalistic habit of mind, which is itself, I suppose, the product of fear and of the ghastly emptiness of machine civilization….
I believe that it is possible to be more objective than most of us are, but that it involves a moral effort. One cannot get away from one's own subjective feelings, but at least one can know what they are and make allowance for them.

"It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one's acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis."

NY-20: Republican Lawyer Will File to Impound Ballots in Dutchess County
Well, that was quick. Dutchess County Election Commission Fran Knapp tells us that John Ciampoli, a Republican lawyer, has informed her that he plans to file in Supreme Court to impound ballots from that county in today's special election. She says her understanding is that he wants the paper ballots impounded, though his filing may extend to the machines as well. Ciampoli was involved in the push to get Libertarian Eric Sundwall off the ballot and is known as a hard political infighter -- and Dutchess County Supreme Court Judge James Brands is said to be sympathetic to the Republican Party. (Ciampoli filed his Sundwall petition challenge with Judge Brands.)
We figured the paper ballots would be important in this expectedly close race, but we didn't imagine the Republicans (whose candidate, Jim Tedisco, trails) would start talking about impounding them six hours before the polls closed.
Update: NewsMax makes the Republican case: "N.Y. GOP Moves To Block Franken-Style Vote Grab." They can spin, but can they win?

For general ambient shots, shoot in aperture priority, auto ISO, wide open and just grab some overall shots. Probably use center-weighted metering, or spot metering.
For some fun motion shots, set it on Manual exposure, set your ISO low (200), stop the aperture down a stop or two, and then set the shutter speed to get the proper exposure (or maybe slightly underexposed). Brace your camera for a long shutter speed and get some fun shots of the ferris wheel or merry go round.
Finally, take your 35-100 and zoom in on some of the details of the merry go round, or the people working the rides.

Sitelinks are additional links Google sometimes generates from site contents in order to help users navigate your site. Google generates these sitelinks periodically from your site's contents.
Saw this new feature this morning, I like it, itlooks like they are going to start showing a basic index of important pages under your serp results, but not in effect yet.
[edited by: tedster at 11:38 pm (utc) on Oct. 18, 2007]
[edit reason] moved from another location [/edit]
Google publishes information on SiteLinks (extended listings) [webmasterworld.com] Sep. 8, 2006
1. SiteLinks can now include as many as eight (some people have even seen ten) separate internal pages.
2. In GWT, you will be able to block unwanted SiteLinks from showing under your domain. Sometimes the SiteLinks algo makes a poor choice.
# %__ Query__ Position
1 15% keyword 10
2 13% keyword 7
3 8% keyword3 6
4 8% keyword4 116
5 6% keyword5 8
anyone know what the % is supposed to represent?
Not really a good description from Google yet.
Now we show what percentage each query result or click represents out of the top 20 queries. This should help you see how well the result or click volume is distributed in the top 20.
Still not crystal clear to me, but my best understanding is that your top 20 click-producing terms are totalled, and the percentage of that total for each search term is what Google reports.
This seems to add up. Search volume will vary for different terms. So a low position on a "big search term" can still produce more clicks than a high position for a rare search.
On the other hand, I looked at the history stuff - a lot (if not most) of the sites in my GWT account only have history numbers going back 30 days max. And I only looked at the sites that generally have a lot of traffic. So maybe they don't have it all in yet, or may it's six months worth starting *now* (which means in five months it will all be there) or...?
exposure: yes, er... well thanks.
Please do that and report back with the results, will you? (j/k)

On ice power skating for hockey players
Learn from the pioneers of power skating!
Hockey is an intricate and difficult sport. It requires many skills, all of which are separate and distinct, yet inter-related and mutually dependent. To master each skill takes years of practice and dedication.
Some of these skills include stick handling, passing, shooting, pass reception, offensive play, defensive play, team systems, etc.
Add to these other areas of training for hockey - conditioning (strength, power, explosiveness, and flexibility), nutrition, rest, eye training, mental awareness, and you can see that becoming a "complete" hockey player is a full time job.
The one skill that I have not mentioned tends to be overlooked and is too often underestimated. Yet it is in actuality the most fundamental skill in hockey – Skating.

The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on Irene to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.

text: Well the title says it all, I have am totally confused as to my choice in screen. I do not have enought for the Hitachi 7200 or Pioneer XDE, so am in the market for either the Toshiba 36zp48 (or similar), or something like the Panny PW7, I know both are not HiDef but since Sky will never really enter my house i am not likely to miss it much. I have read various problems with both types of screen, but would i gain a lot in terms of picture quality in getting a CRT 36 inch (33inches really) over a 37 or 42 inch (cheap) plasma ? And will the price of these ''non hi def '' plasma's come down as the HiDef bug kicks in ?
