Why Appearances Matter
You wouldn't submit a report with typos and grammatical errors, so why settle for the sartorial equivalent of sloppy communication? Our appearance represents the brand we're creating for ourselves, into which we want our superiors and co-workers to invest and believe. Conscious dressing is a major key to professional success. In fact, 90 percent of women executives questioned in a recent poll conducted by Ipsos Reid on behalf of Randstad feel that overall image is a factor that has an impact on their career progression, versus only 37 percent who feel that image affects men's careers. So, as they say, image can be everything. When was the last time you worked on strengthening yours?
Keep reading to learn how to dress your best for seven common work scenarios.
You're Interviewing for a New Job
Best look: Sharp and tailored with some memorable flair
Why it works: Looking polished matters. Studies suggest that people who demonstrate a polished appearance are most highly rated with regard to competence. Wear pieces that fit properly and pay for tailoring if necessary; it's worth it. Gravitate toward classic pieces and solid colors (note: classic, or looking timeless, is not the same as conservative, which can read as boring or stuffy). Then find a way to stand out by choosing one specific area to introduce a bit of style and flair into your outfit.

You're Starting a New Job
Best look: A signature style
Why it works: Think about what you want to be known for: Interesting glasses? Colorful shoes? Monochromatic outfits? Create a plan for your closet that is comfortable; appropriate for your specific office, industry and position; and allows you to look sharp on a daily basis -- then stick with it. Having a cohesive wardrobe not only creates a signature identity for you in the office, it also eliminates decision-making time in the morning. Invest in quality over quantity. (Men often learn this earlier than women, and we should follow their lead on this one.) Spend a little extra money and buy quality, classic pieces that will wear well over time.

You're Working in a Male-Dominated Office
Best look: Classic and feminine
Why it works: Professional women have infinitely more challenges than men when it comes to effective visual communication and self-presentation, so they need to be that much more hypervigilant. Curves, accessories, heel height, hem lengths, makeup – the list of everyday challenges goes on. However, that doesn't mean you need to dress like men to compete with them. If you favor a more androgynous style, then stick with it. But for everyone else, embracing femininity in a male-dominated workplace — in a tasteful, not overly sexualized way — can be quite powerful.

You're Presenting to Clients or Investors
Best look: Fuss-free and impeccably groomed
Why it works: Wearing items that encourage fidgeting distracts from the overall quality of your presentation. Wearing fewer pieces can diminish adjustments, so from a simplicity standpoint, dresses are the clear winner. And never underestimate the power of grooming. When you're presenting, all eyes are on you, so details really matter. Be sure your hands and nails are nicely groomed and set aside time for last-minute touch-ups to hair and makeup.

J.Crew Seamed Crepe Dress, $139.99 Hukk This Product
Eileen Fisher Metallic Necklace Scarf, $98 Hukk This Product
You're Presenting to Your Boss or Angling for a Promotion
Best look: Extra height
Why it works: Wearing heels in the office is not about sex appeal — it's about how they transform your body and give an illusion of height (which is inherently more powerful than "looking sexy"). Research points to the significance of stature in the workplace, so heels can afford even relatively shorter individuals a subliminal sense of power. Stay away from impractical (and inappropriate), sky-high footwear. Even if you're only comfortable in a small heel — like an Oxford or a boot with a 1- to 2-inch heel — it's better than ballet flats, which look less polished when paired with most professional attire. And fashion aside, many female executives feel more powerful when they're closer to the same height (or taller) than the men they're competing against.

You're Leading Colleagues on a Project
Best look: A healthy glow
Why it works: Wearing some makeup has been proven to be positively rewarded in professional settings, and women who wear makeup in the workplace are perceived as more competent. Use it to your advantage, especially when you need to collaborate. We are naturally attracted to healthy looking people, and makeup can enhance that perception: A bit of mascara will give you a look of rested alertness, and a touch of color on your lips and cheeks warms your face, giving you a healthy glow.
How to wear it:
Nars Cheek Palette, $41 Hukk This Product
Diorshow Mascara, $25 Hukk This Product
You're Going to an After-Work Networking Event
Best look: Primetime professional
Why it works: Transitioning from day to night is an art form. The trick is to wear a neutral base and swap out more tailored daytime pieces for something slightly edgier or with softer lines for the evening. Adding slightly more dramatic makeup, a dressier shoe and some bold accessories is a great way to make a fast, seamless transition without the need to go home first.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (558 votes).
In short: Moving this race from the OU to the Xscape gave it so much potential- however much improvement needed for next year. Now not one to moan but for the entry fee think Nike could have helped provide a goody bag at the end! Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: my home course, why did we miss the high lights?In full: I did the 10k due to injury, was VERY surprised to be starting before the half runners, who not long after over-took us with yells of 'get over 10k runners' which i honestly think everyone was trying to do. This was not an ideal race for your first 10K, and if it was mine i might never have done another, marshalling on the 10k was loose to say the least, saw people sneaking off, assuming they were having a sneaky loo break but no, they were taking a short cut when i saw them rejoin a long way in front. Such a shame. No goody bags - only one i got was in the Wetherspoon, saw one Nike marshall on my route - so why is it a nike race? Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Surprisingly scenic, mostly flat, some organisational issues but overall a good race.In full: ProsEasy to get to by car;Generally flat, fast route (but with a sting in the tail);Good marshalling (I thought);Well-spaced, well stocked water stations;The start/finish venue has potential (but see below);Glorious weather :)Polite, friendly runners (compared to some big city events I've been to...)ConsNo separation of faster and slower runners, and starting the 10k and half together caused congestion;Queues for baggage;Lack of signage at the start/finish area;Loud-speakers weren't very loud;Race pack was lacking in some information (e.g. map didn't show the start/finish);Overall I thought it was a decent race and with a bit of work on the organisational front it could become an excellent one.Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Nice race but need to sort a few issusIn full: +Reasonable course, road closures, intentions good-no goody bag, start timings, what happened to the relay? race info pack poorDate of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Beat my half marathon best time so I'm happy!Date of review: March 8, 2010
In full: Loved the start & Finish location much improved on the Open University last year. The route is a good one and despite the up hill finish its a fast course. Didn't like the start process as no markers for times and an absolute mess with the 10K going off just before the half, we caught them after less than a mile and the congestion was awful. At the finish they gave us know bananna or snack given the cost of entry thought this was terrible. I live in MK and would suggest they could make the course more interesting the bit around Broughton was boring though I love the lakes & Woughton etc. I run this every year and would recommend it but suggest the organisers need to take what was good in previous years and make the most of the better location for start and finish!Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Poor signage for start/toilets/information but great once you got started.In full: This was the first half marathon for me, though I have attended a variety of other organised events, both as a spectator and a participant. Despite a shaky start to actually find the start of the race, once started I thought it went pretty well. I would agree with many of the other comments, it would have been really helpful for there to be some kind of signage to indicate approximate running times - anyone doing a half marathon surely has some idea of the time they are likely to achieve......crazy as we are to enter a half-marathon, credit us with some sense! The other thing I would agree with is the time lag between the start of the 10K and the half.....was there even a time lagg or was it just a free for-all? that is how it appeared to me. I was standing further forward than I intended but with no guidance all I could do was judge based on how fit people looked.....not exactly scientific!Overall though I thought the route was pretty good and more pleasant than expected. The hills towards the end were a challenge with jelly legs!! 2h 12 mins...I was happy with that - something to improve on!Overall the event could be better but it wasn't bad, the parking was easy and plenty of places to eat at the finish....result!Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Very poorly organised - little signage, had to wait an hour and a half to collect my bag, bnot what you want after running a half marathon!Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Well organised and supported fast pb potentialDate of review: March 8, 2010
In short: great weather, great event, great fun, and a PBIn full: AS SAID BEFORE, PERHAPS AN EARLIER START FOR THE 10K`ERS AND A FEW MORE SIGN`S OR A RUNNERS VILLAGE PERHAPS (PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THAT), BUT GREAT FOR A 1ST ATTEMPT @ THE CITY CENTREDate of review: March 8, 2010

Congressional Caucus for Competitiveness in Entertainment Technology, or E-Tech was formed in February by U.S. Representatives Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Kevin Brady. You can read about the Caucus and see which members of the House have joined it on the Video Game Voters Network. You can watch Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz speak on Technology and Education HERE at the Atlantic Forum on Technology in Education.
Why does Entertainment Technology need a caucus? Why is there a Network of Video Game Voters? Well, video games are big business, and the US is a big market for video games. From The VGVN Blog: In 2010, computer and video games contributed $24 billion in sales to the U.S. economy. The computer and video games industry employs 120,000 Americans in high-paying jobs in 34 states. Computer and video games help soldiers rehabilitate, keep seniors active, and educate our children. For more information on the roles of video games in our lives, see the Entertainment Software Association's website.
Like any big business, everyone working and investing in it needs to anticipate growth in the future. For growth in the video game market we need freedom to create and sell the games that will grow the market and we also need a local workforce trained for the jobs required. Therefore, limiting regulation and enhancing education are key to increasing the strength of America's video game industry.
Limiting regulation: Limiting what video games can contain is very similar to limiting what a book can contain, extremely similar. Limiting the content of our stories and our speech should be resisted, regardless of the economic considerations.
Who is trying to limit what video game contain? The State of California has had a law since 2005 that could be used (but never has) to restrict the sale of video games. The Supreme Court will rule in the next two months on whether this law is constitutional. The VGVN has an excellent FAQs page about the case. You can download the Supreme Court filing on the VGVN FAQ page, too. And here are the direct links: Read the summary of ESA's Supreme Court filing
Read the full Supreme Court filing.
Enhancing Education: We will need trained workers to keep up with the world video game and other technology related industries. Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultzspoke about the E-TECH caucus at the Atlantic's Forum on Technology in Education,March 30, 2011, see minute 4:30. Rep. Wasserman Schultz spoke mainly not about regulation but about how we can use technology to enhance our education system. For example, US students could debate with students in other countries. It is easy to see how technology can enhance the education of student in every topic, not just technology related ones. Rep. Wasserman Schultz's example is simple: debating economics with students in another country could enhance our students' understanding of the topic. Imagine learning about Roman ruins from students in Rome or debating the finer points of baseball vs cricket with students in India. These kinds of interactions should be common place.
Moving forward locally… To make the innovative use of technology common place in our schools we need to speak up and demand it. I suggest for starters, that we all go to your local middle school and see if their network allows access to Wikipedia. You may be very surprised. We could start by simply that our local tax dollars be used to give this free service available to curious 10 year olds. See Wikipedia's FAQ about Wikipedia in School. Then we can turn our attention to down loadable video games like Immune Attack, and blog sites where students could contribute to discussions on current events and science.
Additionally, their many opportunities for teachers, students and parents to get involved in projects that involve technology. See our Science Games post for updates.

To each his own OSM. I think the Police was about 10 times better than all of Gordie's solo projects put together. More energy. He has some really nice solo work, but it's few and far between for me. Again--to each his own.
Check out "The Soul Cages". One of the finest albums I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Especially the finale, "When The Angels Fall". One of the best songs ever written, it outdoes Every Breath You Take. Also on this album, there's "All This Time" - which sounds like it could have been a Police song, actually
I can't recommend that album enough.
The difference between genius and insanity is merely the difference between success and failure.

Most diseases, small or big, acute or chronic, accident or infection, have one common factor - pain. In most cases, in addition to reducing the severity of the infection or the impact to various structures from the trauma, managing pain assumes a bigger role. It is only when the pain is controlled can the bigger picture of disease management be done, as the patient would be inconsolable.
To this effect, in addition to pain killers, the most inexpensive and easily available modes of pain management are heat and cold. Though all are not aware, there are specific instances where heat and cold should be used as listed below.
Heat: Some of the common modes to heat therapy include heat pads, warm baths, paraffin wax system, hot water bottles, air-activated heat pack, or warm oils. Heat acts by improving blood circulation and nutritional supply to the body parts and is best suited for stiff joints and muscle soreness.
Some common ways to heat therapy include:
- A warm shower or bath in the morning - this will ease morning stiffness and get you ready for exercise.
- Apply a heating pad on the sore/stiff areas for up to 20 minutes - Use optimal, bearable temperature to avoid skin burns.
- Wrap the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes with a moist heat pad. A wet towel can be put in the freezer and then warmed up in the microwave. Moist heat pads are also available with local pharmacies.
- Warm mineral oils can be applied to the stiff joints of hands and legs. Leave it in place for 15 to 20 minutes before washing it off.
- For sore hand and foot joints, warm paraffin wax can be applied using the equipment available at drug stores. This will help ease the pain and soreness. Soak in a warm whirlpool.
Contrary to heat therapy, cold therapy acts by reducing blood flow to the affected area and numbing the nerve endings, thereby reducing the perception of pain. It works well for acute pain cases like fresh injuries and post-exercise inflammation.
- A cold wrap with ice cubes can be applied to the painful area for about 15 to 20 minutes. This can be repeated if required after a break.
- Alternately, a wet towel can be put in a plastic bag and kept in the freezer for 15 minutes and then used as a cold pack.
- The affected joint can be submerged in a container of ice and water.
- Cold gel packs are available at stores - these won't leak, will stay cold longer and can be easily wrapped around a joint.
Cryotherapy, as cold therapy is also called, is not as effective as heat therapy, though it does provide immediate relief.

Persistence of pain even after full healing of an affected area after injury or ailment is known as chronic pain. Chronic pain can also occur due to an undiagnosed underlying condition within the body. Any form of pain which lasts for more than 6 months can be categorized as chronic pain. Chronic pain might be continuous or episodic, excruciating or mild, totally incapacitating or merely inconvenient.
Symptoms of Chronic Pain include:
1. Light to severe pain that keeps occurring from time to time and cannot be relieved easily.
2. Occurrence of pain that can be described as burning, shooting, aching or even, electrical.
3. Constant feelings of discomfort. This includes stiffness, tightness or soreness in the affected area.
Chronic pain usually does not occur alone and is often accompanied by other problems such as:
1. Lack of sleep
2. Fatigue
3. Weakened Immune System
4. Disability
5. Mood Swings that include depression, fear, hopelessness, anxiety, stress, irritability, etc.
Reasons behind it
There are a number of different factors that can cause chronic pain. Some of them are:
- Aging: Common conditions associated with normal aging can have an effect on joints and bones, giving rise to chronic pain.
- Incorrect treatment and improper healing: Bad diagnosis or incorrect medications or procedures may cause improper healing of injuries as well as damage to nerves leading to chronic pain.
- Underlying disorders or diseases: Diseases are also capable of causing chronic pain. Conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia are some well-known diseases that cause chronic pain. However, persistent and chronic pain might occur due to sicknesses like multiple sclerosis, cancer, AIDS, stomach ulcers as well as gallbladder disease.
In most of the cases, the reasons behind chronic pain can be rather complex. Sometimes, even though the chronic pain begins with an illness or an injury, the ongoing pain is capable of developing into a psychological aspect even after the physical issues have been healed, thus making treatment tricky.
Chronic pain is usually managed using a combination of physical therapy, medications and exercises, which helps in reducing the pain. Examples of pain relieving medications include ibuprofen and aspirin. Day-to-day activities can be performed only if this pain is adequately controlled. Additional techniques include:
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): The target of this technique to address the nerves that are responsible for sending pain signals to the brain. This is achieved by placing the heated tip of a needle in a region which is extremely close to the nerve. The heat renders the nerve incapable of sending the pain signal.
- Pain Shots: This is used to deliver medications to the exact site of the pain. Nerve blockers are also used to block signals from reaching the brain.
- Alternative approach: These include acupuncture, massages and yoga along with other treatments from alternative medicine.

$8 million does not go that far for a young mother. It's an investment in a sound, secure retirement, college for the kids, a new vehicle every few years, etc. It is not a save the world fund. My guess is people think (without really thinking) that she won $225 million when reality is $8 million.
It's nothing to sneeze at, but still....
Venom, I think you are a bit harsh on Sandra. She did not say she did not want to pay taxes, just that the amount she has to pay is overwhelming. I'm pretty sure the checks she writes to the government are much larger than the salary the government was paying her as a social worker. That is overwhelming, even after 6 years of writing those checks. It sounds to me like she's done a lot of things right, including saying "no" when warrented. Her biggest issue seems to be the beggers rather than family. As dpoly says "hounded by the greed of envy".
Maybe we all will be lucky enough to suffer problems like Sandra's.
When I win the Powerball and Mega Million Jackpot I will be able to handle my new wealth. I will screen people well and give to those who need it. I will use a Foundation as my means of distribution for this and you just have to have the ability to say NO! And never change who you are!!!! Simple.
So she is complaining about having to write big checks to pay taxes on the free $8 million that she has in her pocket. Really?
Hawaii is not that expensive. I am sure she can find a place for $500,000 to $1,000,000. She is by herself, she does not need to live in Buckinham Palace or anything like that.
Here is an idea, take some of the money, buy a McDonald's or something else, have her kids who live off her run it and pay them from that and live off the profits as well as her interest income from other investments.
Even a borderline idiot should be able to make at leat 3% off of $8million, way more than enough to live a fantastic life if you don't have any debt, even if you did.
I am confused by her statement. Is there any job that pays you a lot of money that you don't pay taxes? If so, I want in.
The story says she "won $8 after taxes" so if she is writing huge quarterly checks to the IRS, it must be on interest or dividends. Or maybe it's income from the lottery advice book she wrote.
It's not that difficult to change her phone number and have it unlisted. I agree with you about her wanting to live in Hawaii too. Bet she is hawking her book.
Another winner hounded by the Greed Of Envy!
I have no problem saying NO!!!!
I Love Pink & Green 1908
I see nothing wrong with her writing a book about her win and what happened
to her, the aftermath, she's being productive and keeping herself out of trouble.
do you have a picture of her? i think i know who this is if this is the same girl.
Yes helpmewin, I found a picture of Sandra Hayes. Here's the lucky lady with 2 masters degrees:
"I had people calling me at work begging for money and people sending faxes with letters and sob stories and I'm like, 'I do not know these people,'" said Hayes. "I was under so much stress, I thought I was going to explode."
I'm not doubting that part of the story, but by granting the interview and saying "That's my duty as an American, to pay taxes. That's not the problem. The problem is the amount!", her problems with people begging for money will continue. Basically she is saying she still has lots of money, so much in fact she has to write a huge check quarterly to to the IRS for the taxes on her investment income.
The story also says Sandra shared the jackpot with 12 of her co-workers, but makes it sound like she was the only one singled out at her work place with all the calls and faxes asking for money. The obvious reason to me for drawing even more attention to her lottery win six years after is because she is hawking her book.
She was part of a pool so we can rule out her books being "Strategies to win a lottery jackpot" and rule out "How to become anonymous after a jackpot win". I'm not knocking her, but just pointing out that it's odd for someone to say "I was under so much stress, I thought I was going to explode" and then create even more reasons for more attention and have more stress because of it.
Personally, I believe Sandra Hayes is very intelligent and will be a lottery success story.
Nothing wrong with writing a book on the ups and downs of winning the lottery. Maybe it will incline more people to claim and/or more states to allow anonymity, as almost all the negative consequences of winning seem to have to do with other people knowing about it.
As a Texas lottery winner said on one of those shows,
"Money doesn't change you. It changes the people around you."
My thought/plan/suggestion is to not tell anyone we know, including our (young) kids. Then invest some of the money (or just some initial interest off the principal) into some sort of business you would enjoy, to provide a "cover story" for your increased wealth. Even if you can just break-even on the actual business, other people don't need to know the details, and you act like it's going very well whether it is or not. Plus, having business interests keeps your mind focused and engaged, which keeps you healthier into old age so you can enjoy your wealth. Of course, this takes much more effort, and you would have to slowly increase your spending versus a blow-out spending spree. But that's to your benefit anyway.
If you can't keep it quiet, which is more difficult the larger it is, here's my thought on giving. Clearly, have a plan/fund for annual charitable giving, choosing areas that are important to you. But have this rule: Anyone who asks is automatically disqualified. No debate, no discussion. (Other than generic funding raising/requests that are to everyone and not specifically directed at your wealth.)
This sounds pretty much like the same story as before about her... She should just set up a display that repeatedly says "buy my book" with a copy of it being held by the display's moving arm.
You can't predict random.
That may be true, but money can help people realize their potential, and a lot of people have the potential to be world class idiots. It's easier to be successful when you have plenty of money to start with, but it's also easier to be a loser.
Completely agree!
If you were irresponsible before, lots of money helps you be excessively irresponsible.
If you were an ass restrained by budget, you then have the potential to be a real A$$.
Her book was an overpriced pamphlet and had bad reviews. If she even made a thousand dollars from it (it is self published), I'd be very surprised. The comments on her book are interesting since buyers wanted real details and an actual book on what it was really like.
J'aime La France.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (102 votes).
In short: My first ever half marathon and managed to beat 2 hours - Looking for a flat one now....................Date of review: June 13, 2010
In short: Brutal hills, fab organisation, firendly marshals, gorgeous scenery, bargain priceIn full: Definitely one for next year despite the personal worst time by 1o minutes. Fab course with stunning scenery, organisation was first class, marshalls were very friendly and still a choice of t-shirt size even at the end. Made to feel welcome despite being one of the back markers - would definitely recommend to anyone fats or slow.Date of review: June 9, 2010
In short: Great challenge, spectacular scenary, nice atmosphereIn full: My second year of the Buxton half and it doesn't get any easier. The beating sun and humidity made the climbs even more difficult, but a very welcome improvement this year was the bottled water, rather than the cups last year. The bottles were a perfect size to run with for a while, which really helped in the heat. The scenary is spectacular most of the way round and the venue for the finish in the pavilion gardens is perfect, especially for those who have brought family or friends. The programme that the organisers produce is also a nice touch. The marshalls are all helpful and friendly, but I would encourage the organisers to ask those marshalling the final turn through the car park and into the promanade to be more proactive in directing runners and alerting pedestrians, as this area was a little congested with cars and the public, which made for some confusion for tired runners trying to understand where to go and make their way through. The friendly organisation, venue, scenary and challenge of the course make this a really special race and I aim to be back next year. Date of review: June 8, 2010
In short: hardest half I've ever done but worth it. In full: Not having done Eyam I can't compare them but this was tough. I set myself a target of 2hr which I just managed to get inside so I was pleased. Nice mix of weather from hot to warm, a stiff breeze thrown in with a bit of rain. What more could you ask for? Many thanks to all involved in the organisation - a job well done.Date of review: June 8, 2010
In short: Hilly, challenging, but scenic and fun!In full: First time at this distance and was very nervous having read the 2009 race reviews, but I got through it and what's more, I really enjoyed it. There is no doubt that it is a very hilly course, but anyone who regularly runs up a few decent hills can manage this and the scenery is well worth the effort. The organisation was great and there were plenty of water stations - particularly welcome during the first few miles when the sun was beating down. Would highly recommend and looking forward to next year!Date of review: June 7, 2010
In short: hilly,hard but prettyIn full: tried this to compare to Eyam, found it much harder but this may be due to the unexpected sunshine during the first 8 miles. felt like i was climbing through out the run but great sense of achievement after.Date of review: June 7, 2010
In short: Glorious setting but a beast of a run - no where near my PB, but then I am a wussy inner-city road runner. Date of review: June 7, 2010
In short: very scenic and enjoyable but hard race.In full: Absolutely stunning scenery almost makes you forget how much pain your in whilst trying to climb the many hills on route.Excellent marshalling and organisation and gave me a massive sense of acheivement when i finally reached the finish line and even managed to put on a little sprint past the greatly appreciated cheering crowds at the funnel/finish.Date of review: June 6, 2010
In short: Brutal Half Marathon, but into my third year now! Something special about it!Date of review: June 6, 2010
In short: Fun In The SunIn full: Gorgeous scenery in a shamefully overlooked area of the Peak District.All ups and downs with v.little flat (just how I like it!)Great start/finish venue at Pavilion Gardens kept kids amused.V.well organised (easy EOD, in my case 20 mins before start!) lots of marshals.Free T-shirt to boot!Will deffo do this again :y:Date of review: June 2, 2009

My aim was that the front runners didn't lap me .... and they didn't. p.s. what was with all the wasps?Date of review: August 16, 2009
In short: Another well run eventIn full: Some might say that three laps round a race track is a bit boring, and they may well be right, however this is a fantastic race to be able to run well thought out race plan, you know exactly what is coming when and know when to make your move, defo PB potential!Date of review: August 16, 2009
In short: well organised and friendly raceIn full: no matter how fast or slow you are you are made to feel welcomed. Traffic free course and plenty of support from fellow runners too.Date of review: March 5, 2009

In short: Well organised, good PB potential, no queuesIn full: Def recommend the race to all. Easy access, well organised. Good PB potential in spite of windy conditions. Glad i went even though drive over to circuit was in filthy weather, alas the sun came out at the start.Date of review: November 28, 2008

Local elementary students balancing their checkbooks
GREEN BAY, Wi--(WFRV) Not many elementary students can say they have a checkbook. But a group of local Green Bay kids is using one to balance their school work. "If you go to your job you get paid, and their job is school and they need to be responsible for school. They receive a weekly deposit of $30 dollars," said Carol Steeno, 5th grade Martin Elementary School teacher. It's not real money, but the students treat it with the same respect. "I think it helps us work better, and concentrate on our work more," said one 5th grade student. At Martin Elementary School Carol Steeno and Erin Raddatz team teach 4th and 5th grade. Combined they have 45 years of experience. The checkbook helps manage the classroom. "It's a responsibility skill that they need their whole life. Working on adding and subtracting," said teacher Erin Raddatz. Missing school or turning an assignment in late leads to a deduction. "If you haven't earned 30 minutes, maybe you've earned 25 then spend time writing to your parents why you lost 5 minutes," said Steeno. And sometimes the students get bonus deposits, with the roll of a special die. As a motivator to save, students use their fake money on real items at a class auction. One 5th grade student bought two stuffed animals, a basketball, a baseball for her brother and a bouncy ball. Two terrific teachers using an innovative system to a balance a busy classroom. Millaine Wells reports.

Apple Supply Chain Takes a Green Arrow
Interestingly, nearly half of Apple's suppliers that underwent a focused environmental audit last year violated the company's standards. Those who violated standards were cited in China's Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) pollution database. The IPE was founded by environmentalist Ma … Continue reading

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."
I often recall those words that Atticus Finch offered his daughter, Scout, in Harper Lee's American classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. I am mindful of Atticus's advice on occasions when I meet groups of foreign exchange students and hear them talk with each other about their experiences. Gaining a greater understanding about -- and an appreciation for -- others is one of the reasons why I believe exchange programs are so powerful.
I recently saw the impact of one such program at an event for participants in the Global Undergraduate Exchange (UGRAD) Program. The Global UGRAD Program is sponsored by the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs with support from our embassies and consulates overseas. The UGRAD participants whom I recently met represent some of the best and brightest students from a number of countries throughout the East Asia and Pacific region, including China and Malaysia. These students, who otherwise would not have had the resources to study in the United States, came to attend American universities during the 2012-2013 academic year.
By the time I met the UGRAD students, they had already completed more than a semester at their U.S. host institution. As I sat with the students to watch a video of their travels in the United States, it took me back to when I was in their shoes as an exchange student in China, a country that was initially unfamiliar to me. I remember Chinese people from all walks of life were excited to greet me, a foreigner. They almost always went out of their way to show me hospitality and make my time in their country special. In turn, I, as a foreigner, exposed the people I met to a glimpse of another part of the world. From the discussions around me, it sounded as if the UGRAD students were having similar experiences here in the United States.
Recently, I was fortunate to hear Secretary Kerry speak to the Fulbright Foreign Student Enrichment Seminar. He told them, "Understanding what someone else thinks is...important... When you open those doors, you realize they're really not that dissimilar." Echoes from the Secretary's speech rang true at the UGRAD gathering. I listened to students marvel at the contrasts, and similarities, between different parts of America and their home countries. I sat next to students from Indonesia and Thailand at the event. During the course of our conversation, we found common ground on everything from opinions on the cuisine in Washington to views on public expression of religion.
As an intern at the State Department, I have found that one can become lost in the broad scope of diplomacy and wonder how its many connections affect people. I discovered it is at the micro-level of people-to-people exchange that one quickly realizes the richness in extending such ties.
Sir, I am an unemployed male of 39 years. I am physically and mentally challenged. My personal safety is in danger lot of gundas are near my house. The authorities are so corrupt that, no one is helping me. I am living in my house always in fear. I send emails berfore for help and got no reply. Kindly help me.
Affectionately, Dipu Dev from kerala.

Music has always been a big part of my life, possibly the biggest. Since I could wrap my hands around a guitar, my main interest has been music. I always had access to a piano in our home when I was a kid, but I really loved jumping from instrument to instrument.

Nice! Are you planning to age the cured ones like tobasco?
Probably not. I'd like to learn to duplicate the ones from Tutto Calabria.
Me too. That just reminded me of a cookbook I have "My Calabria" where they talk about preserving Sott' Oli (under oil). I believe foods are cooked in straight vinegar with salt then covered in oil. I'll check later, but it may be a good resource either way. Totally forgot I had that book-lol.
Where's you get the seeds...I've been looking.
Thanks. Please post the directions here.CL
More of a method-The vegetables are heavily salted and boiled in wine vinegar til tender. Drain really well, then cover completely with oil. Refrigerate.Though used in Calabria for centuries, the book also says that this method of preservation is not addressed by the USDA in its literature on home preservation and a rep wouldnt comment on it. Also, USDA discourages keeping garlic under oil even with refrigeration.CYA-done.
How long are they salted before boiling in vinegar?
....I'm curious to hear other ideas to try if anyone has any.
http://foodies.blogs.starnewsonline.com/21462/diy-fire-salt-cured-chile-peppers/Very lame, no vinegar mentioned, but wth?
Googling peperoncini or peppers sott'olio brings up some interesting results too. Maybe dissolve enough salt to heavily season the peppers in the vinegar?
... For one, I want whole peppers...
Here are some that might add some insight:http://www.deliciousalento.com/2011/08/peperoncini-piccanti-sottolio.html
perhaps hot oil?
I think evoo. I don't want competing hot flavors. It should get plenty hot on its own.
Sorry, I meant temperature-wise. Pour on the hot oil, and seal up for a vacuum.

I find it equally challeging opening and shaping my AP flour dough at 75 to 80%. I'm not sure I'll ever get the skins round to the point I just don't get stressed trying to get a round skin. They'll get better in time.Donquote author=fazzari link=topic=13442.msg135552#msg135552 date=1303003578]NormaAs you know, my goal is simplicity....raising the hydration to 70% has made the opening of the dough a much tougher deal. It is so soft, and one could easily open it as far as he wanted..i'ts very hard not to over stretch.. So, I'm gonna say that last's weeks dough (67%) is more where I want to be. But, as far as taste, texture etc. the dough is a huge winner. Here is a dough that was refrigerated 72 hours:John
John, your pizza looks marvelous. Yea, sometimes the skins just seem to open themselves. Other times........well.Don
John Great looking pies you've been making. What size are they? I made a batch of this dough last week and used some of it in a decidedly un-N.Y. style of pizza. Specifically, I used a dough ball for a 16" pie in a 12" pan, and another in a 14" pan. then 3 more regular 16" N.Y. style pies, all spread out over a weeks time. I'll be back after I download some photos.
Steve,The cheese pizza you baked in Norma's oven (the last two photos) looks closer to an actual NY style than the other photos in this thread. Is that your assessment and, if so, do you think the oven is responsible or is it the shaping/sizing of the skin? Also, how would you compare that pizza with some of the NY style pizzas that Norma and you have baked in her oven? Maybe you even have a favorite among the many pizzas you and Norma have baked at market or even in your own WFO or home oven. Peter
This weeks dough I upped the hydration to 72%. In my quest to make everything as simple as possible, I followed Reinhart's procedures except for I used cold water...that is the dough is mixed 4 minutes, rests 5 minutes, and is again mixed 3 minutes. I used KABF this week, and after the mix the dough is so gloppy, all I can do is take globs of it and throw it in my refrigerator containers which are on the scale, weighing as I dump. The following dough was in the fridge 39 hours, it was balled (with lightly oiled hands) 6 hours prior to baking, and was taken out of the fridge 1 hour prior to baking. Beautiful dough to work with, easy to open, very light and tender, and not as crisp as earlier experiments....baked in a 550 degree oven...and I'm guessing I could have baked it hotter...but this is where my oven was today.John
Dave, NormaIs there anything funner than experimenting with food.....don't think so. This crust is softer than any I've made so far, and I noticed after I balled it, it loaded up with bubbles super fast....but time will tell, because so far the results of my experiments always get better as the dough ages abit!John
I made the PR NY-style dough last week and was very impressed with it. While I don't think it's really a true NY-style dough, it tasted really great! I followed the recipe to the letter, but I reballed about 12 hours to baking instead of 2. The dough spent 15 hours in the fridge. It was removed from the fridge two hours prior to baking. I baked in a 550 degree oven -- started it on a 16" screen on the middle rack of the oven and finished it on the stone, which is on the bottom rack of the oven.Pros: I loved the texture of the dough -- very tender, but still a nice crumb. The taste was complex -- more so than the Lehmann formula, most likely due to the honey.Cons: It could have been more extensible. It was a little tough to open. But as you can see in the photo below, I was able to stretch it to size -- just not as easily as my Lehmann dough.I think I'd like to modify my Lehmann recipe to incorporate some honey and a little more oil because I really like what that contributed to this dough. Maybe a hybrid between PR's and Lehmann's recipes would be good.Here are some photos:

I am having fun watching you guys play with this high oil dough. It reminds me of when I was doing experiments with various oil amounts in a 62% hydration new york style pizza. I made a batch every two days and upped the oil 1 percent each time. By the time I got to 7 percent I stopped because right at that point it seemed as if the oil amount had begun to take away from the texture of what I consider good pizza crust, and was just starting to take it more in the territory of some type of dessert bread. Basically what I found was that with each percentage point I raised the oil, the dough would get more and more tender. I had settled on 6% being about the maximum I would ever recommend. Right at that level I found that it could do wonders for non bromated medium to lower hydration doughs made with high gluten flour that could use a little help in the tenderness department. I also noticed that this amount of oil only seemed necessary if I didn't have a really hot oven around. Higher temps and wetter doughs seemed to need less help from the oil, but wether it was needed or not, it did bring some nice flavor to the crust. Fazzari, I am awaiting your trials, especially as you move into the higher hydration versions, as I never spent much time doing both high hydration dough and high oil amounts in the same pizza. I would imagine there is a point where having 6-7% oil can hold too much of the water in during the bake (probably in the 70's on up for hydration), leaving the pizza with a fully baked, but too wet sort of vibe. Also, I wonder if it could possibly cause the cheese to burn a little too much because of its long bake tolerance once those hydrations and oil amounts get up really high.
Matt,A useful starting point might be the thread at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1707.msg15310.html#msg15310. But if you use ideas from that thread and become famous, Randy and I will want a royalty or share of your profits . Peter

Seattle Shouldn't Be an NBA Expansion Pawn
PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- It's been little more that two weeks since Seattle celebrated its Seahawks' first Super Bowl football championship win and the city's first major sports championship since 1979 with a parade, but that hasn't stopped certain elements of the sports world from raining on it.
With the confetti scarcely swept off the streets, Seattle got a fresh layer of dark clouds and new deluge of bad tidings from the National Basketball Association this week -- because of course it did.
The Seahawks' parade could have doubled as a going-away party for longtime NBA Commissioner David Stern, who stepped down at the beginning of this month. Stern had not only signed off on the Seattle SuperSonics move to Oklahoma City in 2008, but last year played an instrumental role in blocking the sale of the Sacramento Kings to an ownership group that would have moved them to Seattle. With Stern gone, it was believed that new commissioner Adam Silver would be more amenable to giving Seattle an expansion team and bringing back the Sonics.
Not quite.
As Silver recently revealed to ESPN, the NBA is not only not planning on expanding right now, but seems to have every intention of bringing Sonics fans' worst nightmare to life. As Sonics fans learned during the proposed Sacramento Kings deal -- which ended with a Sacramento-based group buying the team with promises of massive public subsidies for a new stadium -- Seattle is now the league's bad cop to its benevolent owners. NBA front offices don't want to move their teams because a city won't mortgage its fortune on a new arena: They have to because Seattle's has the money in place and appreciates a franchise more.
In other words, they have leverage and aren't about to let it go. Fans in the National Football League have seen what an empty major market in Los Angeles can do and have watched owners in Minnesota and Buffalo use it to pry hundreds of millions in stadium dollars out of the hands of taxpayers. St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke may be using a similar tactic by purchasing acreage in Inglewood, Calif., just as his team hit a stalemate with its host city over stadium improvements.
Seattle already scared Sacramento into jump-starting its arena rebuilding project, and now it looks as if it's going to do the same for Milwaukee. Seattle hedge fund manager Chris Hansen and former Microsoft

Skip to comments.Kerry: ´We Call It Earth, but It Could Well Have Been Called Ocean´
Posted on 03/20/2013 10:07:10 AM PDT by Nachum
Describing himself as "a child of the ocean," Secretary of State John Kerry warned that the "fragile ecosystem" is threatened by climate change. "We call this beautiful planet that we are privileged to inhabit for a short period of time -- we call it Earth, but it could well have been called Ocean because three-quarters of it is ocean," Kerry told a gathering at the National Geographic Society in Washington on Monday. Kerry mentioned the "enormous challenge ahead of us," given an "energy policy that results in acidification, the bleaching of coral,

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
You should be called idiot.
We call it earth because the part we are floating around on is earth. When it flips over, then we will be in the ocean. Doesn't he know this?
´We Call It Earth, but It Could Well Have Been Called Ocean´
You know, that was fascinating to me when I first heard almost the same phrase when I was 6.
But then I realized that I dont live in the sea, and fish dont name stuff, so it is called Earth.
We call him Kerry, but he could well have been called Doofus.
His mom called him John, but he could well have been called Doofus...
Oooh! He's such an intellectual! So cerebral.
But then, aren't all leftists?
LoL! Beat me by six seconds....
Like, wow, dude.
We call it ignorance but we really should call it stupid.
raping, pillaging, cutting off ears, cutting off heads, taping electrics wires to genetals, cutting off limbs, blowing up bodies, razing villages, all in the manner of Jinjus Kaaaaaaaaaaan.
he's a child of the ocean because he's all wet
Have they all gone nuts in DC?
Michael row the boat ashore
We're in the oooooocean
Great minds, etc.
I'm guessing about halfway between the Red and Yellow Seas...
Imagine getting lectured by Sponge Bob...
I remember the day well. Some of my buddies that worked in the OPF just couldn't wait to share.
A wise man once said:
"Shut up Thurston!" "But Lovey, we musn't let the low lifes dictate what we do. Now, where did I place my yacht?"
Don't Bogart That Joint!
OMG!! A child of the OCEAN ???? Pond Scum at best! What a BUNCH of IDIOTS are in this Administration!! Can you imagine if a Republican said anything like this or anything that Biden says??? LAUGHING STOCKS....
Boy he sure was busy for the THREE MONTHS he was in Viet Nam (before they shipped him back as "unfit for command")
I didn't realize just how similar Kerry and Gore are. That spaced-out malarcky is worthy of Al the High Druid himself.
Too much ketsup will do this to you.....
How about popsicle since it is cold on top?
Or the World could have been called Cambodia.
We call you "Mr. Secretary," but we just as well might call you "Traitor of the U.S. In Time of War."
John Kerry should be honored for being the Rosa Parks of stupid.
When people demanded that he be smart, he stuck to his guns and stood tall for his right to be a moron.
Three quarters of the Earth's SURFACE AREA is water. In terms of volume and mass, the amount of water is negligible.
I've read that if the earth were the size of an apple, our entire atmosphere would be about the same thickness as the skin. The oceans, while covering a large area are considerably thinner than the atmosphere.
Maybe he should spend some time learning about science instead of nodding his head in agreement with al Gore as he blathers on about how it's "millions of degrees" beneath the surface of the Earth.
Really Al? Really Sr. Kerry? Hotter than the surface of the Sun you say. An SUV will heat up the Earth you say.
I wonder if Kerry has any actual photos of the man-bear-pig ?
Sounds confused some. Secretary of State thinking he's head of Department of Energy or something.
We call it Kerry, but it could well have been called Oompa-Loompa.
Mr. Swift Boat Captain is a child of the ocean.
He turned and ran from a gunboat fight so quickly that one of his passengers fell overboard and he had to return and pick him up.

I am frequently asked if I have visited Israel, whereas yet, it is simply assumed that I have. Well, I dont travel. I really dont, and if I did, I probably wouldnt visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic, I was not. I said: what are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive, and Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I cant help but feel that the Jews didnt really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you cant really turn it back. (#92 ff.)

ANALYSIS: Where are the Christians on burying Tsarnaev?
BOSTON (RNS) Most faith leaders agree everyone deserves a dignified burial, no matter what crimes they've committed, as a matter of Christian principle. But a mix of factors is leading them to keep low profiles on the debate over how to handle the remains of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

Fennel orange olive salad
It sounds sort of weird, but I really hope a big fat man in a red felt suit gave you everything you wished for this weekend. I am a happy girl, surrounded by family and friends. I could complain, because I'm quite good at complaining, but I won't. I don't dare. I'm too lucky with this lot I've been cast with to dare whisper the hint of complaint.
I am, however, a bit full. My solution? This fennel orange olive salad. Lively, bright, wintery, Sicilian, crunchy, sweet, salty, cleansing. It's everything I want to put in my mouth after the last few days of overindulgence.
