Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done (the more detail, the better)?
A: The craziest thing I have ever done is compete in cross-country. Cross-country, which consists jumping a course of wood, rock, and water jumps on horseback, is very intense and injuries to the horse and rider aren't uncommon. This is a timed event, so at full speed the competitors run at solid jumps which are camouflaged and often frightening to the horse. When I'm done going through the course I normally haven't taken a breath, and either have my parents.
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: I love boiling a red bell pepper, and stuffing it with (instant) brown rice and some salsa. That's pretty much my specialty, and just about the only thing I can make without starting a fire or setting off an alarm.
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: There's no way I could spend 10 million dollars on myself. I would spend a portion of the money on my education, and help my close family and friends if they're in need. I would also donate alot, if not all of the rest,(which would probably be a TON), on doing some charity work that I could be directly involved with. I would love to get to travel and work with children and families across the world any way that I could.
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: Kevin James without a doubt! I am a huge fan of The King of Queens, a show he used to star in, and think we have a similar sense of humor, so it would be fun to meet him.
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: Something not very many people can say is that they have performed in Carnegie Hall. My high school choir was chosen to sing in Carnegie Hall along with a few other selected choirs. The experience was out of this world, as was the entire trip to NYC.

In order of preference for me:1. Fresh2. Fresh3. FreshLast year I started placing sliced tomatoes in the dehydrator for a few hours to drive off about half of the moisture and then mashing those to make a simple sauce.
Let me clarify that I meant fresh-off-the-vine, fully ripened. Those red plastic tomatoids from the supermarket are never put on my pizzas. If I can't get tomatoes from my garden, I will use canned tomatoes, preferably Carmelina.
Ive been using the Stanislaus Full Red: Pizza Sauce with Basil 6lb. 11oz. Can. A local pizza joint near me uses this same sauce and I decided to give it a try. Unbelievable how thick and rich it is. Same downside it is a #10 can size. Costs only $4.99 from pennmac.com (but $12 shipping!)
What a great idea Bill. What hydration are you at these days?
In this journey, I often find myself at the beginning again and again.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan(AP) Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday abruptly canceled his trip to the Beijing Olympic Games as local media reported that the ruling coalition had agreed on steps to remove him.
``The visit has been canceled,'' said Mohammed Sadiq, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry. He gave no further details on the scuttled Wednesday departure.
The announcement came as the leaders of Pakistan's main ruling parties met for a second day in the capital, Islamabad, to discuss how to restore dozens of judges fired by Musharraf as well as to consider the unpopular president's fate.
Local newspapers citing unnamed sources reported Wednesday that the ruling party leaders - who have fallen out among themselves in recent months - had reached a consensus Tuesday on what steps to take to oust Musharraf.
Dawn, one of Pakistan's leading English-language papers, reported that the two main parties had agreed to formally request that Musharraf step down and impeach him through parliamentary measures ``if he did not oblige.''
Party officials declined to comment on the reports about the meeting between Asif Ali Zardari, head of the largest coalition party, and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who heads the second biggest party.
``Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif at Tuesday's meeting discussed the issue of restoration of judges and other political matters, but I cannot go into details,'' said Farhatullah Babar, a Zardari party spokesman.
Babar said Zardari, the widower of slain ex-premier Benazir Bhutto, also was invited by China to attend the Olympics, but he, too, had canceled the trip.
He said Bhutto and Zardari's son, Bilawal, who technically inherited the party's leadership but is finishing his studies at Oxford, will attend instead.
Musharraf, long an ally of the U.S. in the war on terror, seized power in a bloodless 1999 military coup by ousting Sharif's government. But Musharraf's political allies lost February elections, ramping up pressure on him to quit.
Still, internal coalition squabbling has weakened efforts by the new government to put up a united front against the president, who is deeply disliked among Pakistanis.
Zardari and Sharif have bickered over exactly how to restore the judges that Musharraf sacked last year to avoid legal challenges to his rule. The two also have had differences over how to push Musharraf out.
Sharif wants the judges restored quickly, possibly through an executive order from the prime minister. Zardari has tried to link their return to a package of constitutional reforms.
Sharif also has been more aggressive about wanting to impeach Musharraf.
The standoff has hampered the functioning of the government amid mounting economic problems and Islamic militancy. Sharif pulled his ministers from the Cabinet in May, but says his party still supports the coalition.

Rated 1 out of 5�by Matt06 Poorly designed product As captain of my varsity soccer team I was given one at the beginning of the season. After using it in only 4 games it was half torn apart. And after 7 I can't even get it on my arm anymore. October 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by jj2 Excellent since i am captain for my JV High school soccer team id say this is an excellent captain armband. great quality, great endurance, and great fit October 6, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by mamasann Nice quality Our son is captain of his school team. This armband has held up beautifully. We bought it in the black and white. We had purchased a store brand captain band in yellow and white at the same time and it fell apart after one wear! But the Kwik goal is well made with much better fabric and stitching. I'd buy this brand again. January 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Moocho Perfect Needed these for our 3 field hockey captains as last years bands went missing. Only Dicks had this product available for immediate delivery. Great product and price. Thank you. RHS Field Hockey September 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by CoachJC15 Online ordering at the counter shipped fast to my door! My girls' soccer team captains use the Kwik Goal Adult Captain's Armband, but not quite as an "armband" as boys teams would. Since they have smaller upper arms, they wear them at the top of their right sock, above the shin guards. I needed new ones for both Varsity and JV and they are of top quality. March 12, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Karen Terrible!!!!!! Looking at the picture of the band, the band looked like bright raspberry pink but what we got was this pale, pale pink. On top of that, they were all filthy, like someone had worn them and return them to store. I would have returned them but our girls really wanted a captains band to wear during their soccer game. 4 girls very very very very Diappointed!!!!!!!!! October 11, 2013

Share this Article
Miso is a Social TV app that let users check-in to what they're watching
and -like Foursquare- are able to earn points and badges. By adding
Facebook and Twitter users can share and connect with their friends.
After the release of Miso for Android, I interviewed Somrat to learn more about the company and -future- outlook.
Below the thoughts by mr. Niyogi on Miso and Social TV.
Last week Miso for Android was announced, any specific features for the Android version?
"We looked at the Android and wanted to build a 100% native experience. People can check-in, share what they watch, post to social networks, and earn points and unlock badges. The home page was completely customized for the Android as the controls on the Android are fundamentally different. We also thought voice search was really interesting - why type what you're searching for, might as well speak out loud. We thought that would be more fun."
Will the Miso proposition and features
remain in essence the same for the various devices?
"We will always look at
each mobile platform
and understand what are the unique capabilities of each platform and
how can we best take advantage of features on those platforms. For
instance, if you look at our iPad app, we display posters of the shows
that are trending which is different than the iPhone - this was done on purpose because
we have to look at the iPad differently. This being said - no matter
what device, we will always make it easy and fun for you to share what
you watch."
For what device is the Miso application downloaded the most at this point?
"We have been on the iPhone the longest, so definitely the iPhone."
Why do you focus on game-mechanics?
"People love to share what they watch - why not make it a little bit more fun. We think of game mechanics as an opportunity to reward people for tuning in every week to their favorite show. We have been working with networks in the US, such as TNT and WE tv, to use our social TV platform as a marketing vehicle to incent people to tune-in to their favorite shows - such as using "check-ins" to translate to wining physical prizes or unlocking virtual badges. Game mechanics will continue to be part of the Miso experience."
Will you integrate real-time social chatter in Miso?
"We are exploring the idea of real-time chatter within Miso, but it's still to early to tell what people want while they watch TV. There is an increasing trend of people watching time-shifted TV, so we are building an experience for people to enjoy Miso no matter what time they watch TV, so we'll need to see how real-time fits into the mix. We do know, however, that for the right pieces of content, the idea of real-time conversations does make sense - such as watching sports. We are focused on building a social TV platform that no matter what you watch, and no matter what time you watch, Miso is still useful and fun for you."
Is Miso appropriate and suitable for any kind of content, be it lineair, on-demand or time-shifted?
can be used at any time and you can share any kind of content you're
watching. This being said, the primary activity we are seeing is
watching live on-air TV."
Do you tend to make Miso appropriate for any kind of content in order to attract more users?
"We believe Miso needs to
work for any piece of content because TV is not just one type of show
or one vertical. You may be watching Seinfeld, and then flipping the
channel to watch Ice
Road Truckers on The
History Channel, and then watching a NBA game after that - this
should all be on Miso."
What is Miso's next step to enrich the user experience?
"We are looking at new ways for people to connect and get information while they are watching. We have always felt that the "check-in" was the firs t step - it's analogous to saying "I'm here" and "I'm watching", but how do you get people to engage in deeper ways and get value along the way. That's where we're heading next."
Will Miso create a TV app with additional information to enrich the user experience?
"It is something we have considered if it adds value to the Miso experience."
Is Miso generating revenue?
What do you see as suitable revenue models for these kind of applications?
believe that if we can get people to engage while they watch TV through
Miso, there will be various ways to make money - the primary opportunity
being advertising."
Do you plan to integrate Facebook's Social Graph into Miso or do you rely on Miso's own community power and intel?
already use Facebook Connect to make it easy for people to post to
their Facebook friends
what they are watching and to find friends. We have thought about
other ways to use Facebook's platform, but to use Miso, you do need to
create your own account, so we are building our own community."
Heavy competition is on the rise that fragments the Social-TV-app space further, how do you foresee the future development of this market?
"Each company will go
down different paths and there may be some overlap along the way. As
with everything, a lot of this comes down to execution, but the idea of
social TV is only a couple of months in. We are excited to see what
other companies are going to do and how people will embrace the idea of
using Miso as a new way to experience TV. We really want to connect
with users and are looking for feedback."
Do you think interoperability is one of the solutions to combat the challenge of fragmentation?
"Not sure - the market is too new to understand what is the right solution because I don't think any one company has the answer."
Somrat Niyogi is CEO & Co-Founder of Miso. Prior to Miso, Somrat held various roles, including business development & sales at social advertising startup SocialMedia.com. Somrat has extensive background in cloud computing APIs, enterprise software, SaaS-based solutions from his experiences in sales, partner management, & consulting at Right90 and Salesforce.com.

A brief, national spotlight on Union College has brought an unexpected amount of attention to the small liberal arts school and has boosted its president to near-celebrity status.
It started with a simple, yet creative, way to attack a common problem. From there, a nationwide buzz erupted, resulting in more earned news coverage than Union has encountered in recent history. Here's how it unfolded.
"Inside Higher Ed," an online news source for all of higher education, published a story in mid-January about Union's offer to this year's freshmen for a free last semester. As a strategy to increase the college's retention rate, President Marcia Hawkins developed the plan and then announced the opportunity to students and their parents in late December. The "Inside Higher Ed" story outlined the details, which sparked the interest of an Associated Press reporter. The AP story was widely circulated and inspired viral messages woven throughout Twitter and other social media platforms.
"This has all developed quite unexpectedly," said Hawkins, referencing the gained attention in the news. "My goal was to hand each student a diploma in four years, while encouraging them to be productive, civic-minded citizens. I never dreamed this would generate such attention."
Hawkins told the story many times after the "Inside Higher Ed" story appeared: Students who qualify for a full tuition waiver for their final semester must have a 3.5 or better grade point average, compete 75 hours of community service, be involved in at least one extra-curricular activity an complete a degree in four years. A sliding scale is in place to cover tuition percentages for students who perform below a 3.5 GPA. If the plan proves successful, she wants to offer similar incentives to future freshman classes.
In each interview though, Hawkins was quick to add that providing a tuition-free semester for qualifying freshman will not set the college back financially. This is thanks, in part to the increase in revenue that will result from the increase in retention. Also helping alleviate the financial burden are two important factors: Union has a lower than average tuition rate among private colleges, and 65 percent of its students are Pell eligible. All things considered, Hawkins is almost positive the incentive will pay for itself. Should the costs not be covered, she is prepared to fundraise to meet the unmet needs.

Mercer: For a Good Life, Try Vienna, Avoid Baghdad
Vienna retains the top spot as the city with the world's best quality of living, according to the Mercer 2012 Quality of Living Survey. Zurich, Switzerland, and Auckland, New Zealand, follow in second and third place, respectively, and Munich is in fourth place, followed by Vancouver, which ranked fifth. Düsseldorf dropped one spot to rank sixth followed by Frankfurt in seventh, Geneva in eighth, Copenhagen in ninth, and Bern, Switzerland, and Sydney, Australia, tied for tenth place.
Here's another common denominator to all the cities above: these are all cities I won't be caught dead living in. Two of my favorite cities barely made the cut: New York City came in 44th and Tel Aviv 99th. I didn't see Jerusalem anywhere in the survey, although it could be tucked away in the full list, which you have to buy (not gonna' happen).
New York came in 30th on the Infrastructure Ranking list (seriously? with the longest and most complex subway system in the world?) and Tel Aviv 58th – hey, ahead of 72nd spot Abu Dhabi!
In the Americas, Canadian cities still dominate the top of the index, with Vancouver (5) retaining the top regional spot, followed by Ottawa (14), Toronto (15) and Montreal (23). Calgary ranks 32nd on the overall quality of living ranking.
Honolulu (28) is the U.S. city with the highest quality of living, followed by San Francisco (29) and Boston (35). Chicago is at 42 and Washington, DC ranks 43rd.
In the Middle East and Africa, Dubai (73) and Abu Dhabi (78) in the United Arab Emirates are the region's cities with the best quality of living. Port Louis in Mauritius (82), Cape Town (89) and Johannesburg (94) follow, and along with Victoria in the Seychelles (96) and Tel Aviv (99), are the region's only other cities in the top 100.
The Middle East and Africa have 15 cities in the bottom 20, including Lagos, Nigeria (202); Bamako, Mali (209); Khartoum, Sudan (217); and N'Djamena, Chad (218). Baghdad, Iraq (221) is the lowest-ranking city both regionally and globally.Yori Yanover

When I arrived in Senegal last August, I knew that it would be an exciting year for this nation's democracy, but I don't think anybody could have predicted the path that Senegalese took to get to where they are today. Much of the population rose up in protest to attempted changes to the constitution last year on June 23 (a date now immortalized by a civil society movement called Movement 23, or M23).
Since last June, Senegal's democracy has seemed more fragile than ever before during its 52-year history. Yet today, Senegal has a new President-elect, Macky Sall, after current President Abdoulaye Wade graciously conceded defeat last night. Senegal's strong tradition of democracy and vibrant civil society shone through again.
On February 26, I had the honor and privilege of accompanying Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Johnnie Carson, as he led a delegation of American observers during the first round of Senegal's presidential election.
As was the case on February 26, it was a true pleasure to watch the Senegalese people peacefully exercise their democratic rights once again on March 25 for the ultimate round. I visited dozens of polling stations, and every one of them was calm, orderly, and well organized. Our observers across the country all reported the same -- Senegalese people proudly and peacefully lining up to vote. Other international and domestic observers have also praised the conduct of this second round.
Yesterday's election confirms Senegal's status as one of Africa's leading democracies. The Senegalese people are rightfully proud of the election results. All Senegalese, and the government institutions that made the election possible, deserve congratulations and praise.

Tsimba R. in Madagascar writes:
I'm very impressed of the democracy evolution in Senegal. I congratulate Senegalese. I hope one day, my country will attain this important step.
Amadou in Senegal writes:
Thanks Ambassador Lukens !
I am very proud of we, Senegalese people. We showed again to the world that we believe in Democracy values. We should also congratulate Senegalese political and civil society leaders as well as our parterns like USA that played an important role in this process. Yes, Africa can make a peaceful political change.
Theresa in Washington, D.C. writes:
I am so thrilled that the Senegalese people peacefully voted a new president into office. I spent June-August 2011 living in Dakar and saw first-hand the turmoil the country was in. In fact, I arrived in Senegal the morning of June 23 or Movement 23 as the Senegalese now refer to it.
I lived at a university in Dakar and spoke with many Senegalese university students who were extremely frustrated with the government. So much so that students who were studying international relations and political science for graduate degrees told me that they would join the protests and throw rocks at the police if Wade was reelected. Not only was the former President Wade running for an illegal third term (he himself established the two term limit), but he was trying to appoint his son to the position of Vice President without having the Senegalese people vote him in. Additional grievances included the fact that the Senegalese government would shut off all power in Dakar during the day in order to save money and that Wade commissioned the building of a monument (Le Monument de la Renaissance) that cost billions of dollars instead of feeding the starving people of his country. Across Senegal, people were angry that President Wade was giving Senegal, a country that prides itself on being one of the most stable democracies in Africa, a bad reputation.
Since returning home, I have been following the election process in Senegal. I was extremely nervous for Senegal as I was hearing about more instances of violence and protests happening around the country. I kept imaging my Senegalese friends in the midst of the protests. It was frustrating for me to hear Americans talk about Senegal as "just another African country that is rioting†when Senegal has worked hard over the past 50 years to establish itself as a democratic, stable, and peaceful country. Last month, after the voting took place and was declared too close to announce a winner, I sat at home biting my nails. If Wade was reelected, Senegal would certainly take two steps backwards.

The outgoing chairman of Nokia Corp., Jorma Ollila, admits that Nokia was just too slow with its smartphones development from 2008 and onwards despite identifying early than advanced mobile phones with Internet connectivity and smart software were meant to be the future of cell phones in general. But it is early to bury Nokia, says Mr. Ollila, as at present the company is preparing a range of innovative devices.
"Four years from mid-2008 to today the returns have not been where they should have been. The company saw it and it was broadly accepted but the software capability and particularly the platform software knowhow was not there. The competitors were faster, and bringing their solutions to the marketplace faster," said Jorma Ollila, in an interview with the Financial Times.
Smartphones are clearly a key, but only one element of the mobile always-connected computing era. There are tablets, transforming tablets, notebooks, various hybrid devices and so on. Both Apple and Google already provide software platforms for various devices, while hardware designers thinking of new form-factors. Nokia, which used to make tablets in early 2000s and even released netbooks in late 2000s, understands the mobile trends, according to Ollila, and is preparing its own breed of devices. Moreover, Nokia plans to offer special services that would differentiate it from the rivals.
"The combination of new products and Nokia services will make a difference. [...] Tablets are an important one, so that is being looked into, and there will be different hybrids, different form factors [handset designs] in the future," said that outgoing chairman.
Although Jorma Ollila believes that Nokia is back on track now and the public should wait for the results, it is pretty clear that there is a long road ahead of Nokia. Microsoft Windows Phone and Windows 8 software platforms are in many ways very powerful, however, what matters is whether Nokia will be able to use its unique technologies on those operating system. Some former Nokia executives say that many of Nokia's innovations will simply not be supported by mainstream operating systems that are not designed in-house.
Jorma Ollila is leaving Nokia, which was founded in 1865 in Tampere, Finland, this week after serving 27 years at the company which once had market capitalization of $300 billion after a series of massive successes that occured thanks to his extraordinary execution and business sense.

During Arcade Fire's last song "Wake Up," cascades of beachballs were released into the crowd. With the help of ESKI and Moment Factory, Milk was able to control the LEDs and IR transmitters, embedded in each ball (provided by Tangible Interaction), to light paint kaleidoscopic patterns all over the unsuspecting audience.
Two weeks before Coachella, we sat down with Chris Milk (and his dog) who told us how he conceptualized the installation based upon his affinity for using new technology to tell stories. The crew worked day and night to work out all the logistics for the large-scale interactive performance—from calculating the size of the crowd and avoiding potential injuries, to dealing with last minute technical tweaks. Find out exactly how the concert became a gallery space in our behind-the-scenes Coachella documentary. Their interactive visual performance, entitled Summer Into Dust continues online. Those lucky few who managed to catch one of the LED beachballs can log on to the accompanying website where we'll frequently be posting info on new ways to keep updating your ball. To share your photos, videos, and stories about your individual experience with your ball, go here.

Albury Brothers Boats became so successful that the small family-run company in the Bahamas built up a two-year wait on its custom boats. Not wanting to wait that long for his order, Jeff Lichterman convinced the owners to let him run a factory branch that would make the boats in Palm Beach County. The hand-built fiberglass boats continue to use their original Bahamian concept of simplicity in design, featuring few hatches and less hardware for an overall '60s or '70s boat look. Their rounded bottom shape is inspired by the structure of a standard wooden boat, which gives them a seaworthy ride that runs softly. Now, the two-year wait for a custom boat has been reduced to two to three months. (561-863-7006, alburybrothers.com)

It was nice to meet Bert. I'm sorry I was late on Saturday and didn't get a chance to play with the MPO. I had asked Bert to bring his MPO to the party. This visit was definitely too short for me. If I can go again next year I will try to arrive several days in advance to have a proper look around Houston.
Chau,I agree it was nice to meet Bert too. I didn't know Bert brought along his MPO. I would have be interested in seeing Bert's MPO if I would have know he had it along with him. Norma
Chau: have you posted your mozzarella-making here on PM anywhere? I suppose I'm being lazy and can use the "search" function. I always think it's funny about making mozzarella and then using it on pizza you start with a mess of jumbled-up curds, melt and knead them together into a ball, and then ... cut it all apart into a jumbled mess again. Heh.
Did anyone shoot video?
Any guess how many pizzas were made?

Sorry Jerry and Scott, I have only just seen this thread..Jerry,You can get your hands on some good strong flour from 2 supermarkets here in England:http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/sainsburys-price-comparison/Flour/Sainsburys_Taste_the_Difference_Very_Strong_Canadian_Bread_Flour_1Kg.htmland here is the Waitrose flour:http://www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Very-Strong-Canadian-White-Flour-Waitrose/10827011I have used both of them and can tell you that they are both good flours. I have used the Waitrose flour more because I just think it is closer to the commercial flour that I use, but I am sure you will make great pizza with either.Paul
I think the 'yeast taste' you're describing might be overfermentation.
For NY style, you're going to want to pay a little closer attention to making sure the bottom is pinched shut,

Any individual who has an unrestricted Omaha Public Library card in good standing may use this service. Patron accounts must be in accordance with current circulation rules. Currently a patron must have a balance under $10.
Rules:Interlibrary loan requests will not be accepted for textbooks or for any item that Omaha Public Library already owns, even if it is a non-circulating item. This rule does not apply to different formats of an item (for example, customers may request a print version of a book Omaha Public Library offers only as an eBook or audiobook).Items are loaned by libraries in the continental United States. Circulation rules, including loan periods and use of materials, are set by the lending library. Patrons will be held responsible for any charges incurred for damaged or lost items set by the lending library.
Patrons agree to pay postage to receive the materials. The lending library may request additional charges for service fees, insurance, etc. The patron will be informed of these possible costs before any item is sent.
Patrons will be limited to five active requests at any given time. This includes the Pending, In Process, Shipped, Received, and Renewal files. Patrons may have three titles in the Review File waiting for processing. These limits apply to all formats, including photocopies.
Staff will, if necessary, process each title twice through OCLC. This allows for the possibility of obtaining the item from one of ten libraries. If none of the ten libraries is able to supply the item the patron will be notified.

Patrons must have their library card or ID to check out these materials. Items are not to be returned in the book drop.
Since most libraries will not loan materials published or produced within the last 12 months, it is suggested that customers submit a Request for Purchase form rather than submitting an interlibrary loan request for new materials.

Reading this profile of UPS's "Mr. Peak," Scott Abell, is an enlightening exercise, particularly after the close of this holiday season. Mr. Peak is the guy in charge of making sure that the thing you ordered the Friday before Christmas gets there by Christmas Eve. Or as Devin Leonard puts it, "It's become so easy for people to shop via computers and smartphones that they frequently delay their purchases until the last minute. Mr. Peak's job, in effect, is to fulfill the Internet's promise of instant gratification."
In my Christmas commentary, I wondered about what a civilization organized around the principle of instant gratification might look like. It wasn't a pretty picture: "A society that sows the gratification of its material desires everywhere and always, without limitations of rest or Sabbath, will reap a harvest of barbaric sensualism."
If the Internet promises instant gratification, is the world wide web a force for barbarism rather than civilization? No, but perhaps only if we are willing and able to adjust our expectations. The civilized thing to do might be to order your Christmas presents with more than a few hours to spare. It would certainly make life a bit easier on Mr. Peak. He had a pretty rough season this year.
Mr. Peak "tries to get his family to avoid Internet shopping altogether after Thanksgiving. 'I'm not going to tell them not to shop,' he says. 'But I tell them that they should do it early. Early's better.'"

Design Insiders' Weekly Finds: September 2
Bloggers, editors, and designers share their favorite links from around the Web
"Lately I've been longing for a puppy: I spend way too much time researching breeds, scribing extremely long lists of possible names—Cocoa Puff for a miniature poodle, Dobby for a French Bulldog—and scrolling through the Dogs Inside. This blog manages to satiate my appetite for the two things I love—cute canines and gorgeous interiors."
—Mallory McInnis, Where the Lovely Things Are
"Ever since visiting a friend's new house and seeing her Bond console from Jonathan Adler, I've been loving Lucite. In fact, I spied a few lamps at the Festoni Home booth at last month's New York International Gift Fair that used Lucite blocks as a base instead of the traditional metal or wood. I also saw furniture at the Grace & Blake booth that used it as table bases and chair legs. That one unexpected detail can change the look of a piece entirely."
—Kristine Solomon, The Nest
"I think DwellStudio is on fire lately! They recently launched several new products, including beautifully tailored furniture and a range of stylish and modern decorative accessories such as glassware, mirrors, and objets d'art. I have my eye on the gold ribbons vase.
I'd fill it with beautiful fuchsia and purple anemones."
—Nicole Gibbons, So Haute
"As shops bring in fall collections and jewel tones, I can't help wanting to hold onto summer for as long as possible. I'm currently crushing on breezy cotton and linen textiles for the bath in summery stripes. I'd happily swap out my entire linen closet of terrycloth solids for soft, striped towels in linen and Turkish cotton. From Hammam bath towels to Fog Linen washcloths, Brook Farm General Store carries everything to make over your bathroom in classic stripes."
—Jen Jafarzadeh L'Italien, the haystack needle
"Lately I've been into warm, rustic interiors with lots of wood, varied textures, and some industrial touches. I like looking at homes on Michael Mundy's An Afternoon With... series as well as interiors in Roman+Williams' portfolio for inspiration. I've found images on these sites that feel cozy, intimate, and introspective—exactly what I'd like for my home."
—Meg Mateo Ilasco, Anthology
"I've been on the hunt for fun quirky details for the Glitter Guide office. I need things that will inspire me and keep me motivated through the long hours. I recently came across this confetti painting by Lulu & Drew, and haven't been able to take my eyes off it. It's vivacious and even incorporates our company's colors."
—Taylor Sterling, Glitter Guide

Comments about Educational Insights Small Space Place® Storage Chart:
Good quality product. I had to be creative in hanging this...the walls in my office are cement brick - hung it up with a combination of small wall hooks and binder clips (if I had bigger wall hooks I wouldn't have needed the binder clips). Serves its purpose for keeping my desk clear. I need to be a little careful about how much weight I put in (e.g. out-going mail), but that might be because of how I have it mounted. Good product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nurses who specialize in pediatrics devote their knowledge and skills to caring for children from infancy through the late teen years and their families. These specialized nurses usually complete advanced training in pediatrics and collaborate closely with physicians and other health care providers who share their dedication to children's health.
Like other nurses, pediatric nurses can perform physical examinations, measure vital statistics, take blood and urine samples and order diagnostic tests. Nurses with advanced training can interpret test results to form diagnoses and develop treatment plans.
Parents often prefer to have their children treated by nurses and other health providers who are pediatric specialists, because children have special health care needs. Their bodies are growing and changing, and they often react differently to injury, illness and even common medications.
In addition, children get scared and can't always clearly communicate "what hurts." Pediatric nurses know how to talk to children and how to dispel their fears. They also know how to ask children questions about their health, so they can gather complete and accurate information to aid in diagnosis and treatment.
In addition to caring for patients with injuries and illnesses, pediatric nurses spend a significant amount of time educating parents and other caregivers about how to care for their children and protect children's health. For families of children with chronic conditions, such as juvenile diabetes or paralysis, they design home care plans to help the families meet their child's special needs.
Prevention and health education is a big part of pediatric nursing. Pediatric nurses often staff community health fairs and visit schools to perform physical exams, immunize children, and provide routine developmental health screenings.
Pediatric nursing is a very special vocation, because it provides the opportunity to play a key role in a child's life when that child needs you most.
Working Conditions
Pediatric nurses work in doctor's offices, clinics, hospitals, surgical centers and other health care settings. Their skills bring particular comfort to parents and children being treated in acute care departments, such as the neonatal unit, pediatric critical care unit (PICU) and pediatric oncology ward.
Pediatric nurses also work in schools, in private practice and for community groups and other organizations that provide outpatient and preventive health care services for children, including children who have limited access to health care.
In most cases, the pediatric nurse works closely with a physician who also specializes in pediatric or family medicine. Pediatric nursing duties are similar to nursing duties in other departments, although there is typically more interaction with the patient's family.
Salary Range and Outlook
Pediatric nurses earn $48,000 to $68,000 a year, although compensation depends on your level of education, experience, geographic location and the type of facility where you work. Experienced pediatric nurses can earn $100,000 a year or more.
Academic Requirements
To become a pediatric nurse, you must first achieve certification as a registered nurse (RN). Earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at an accredited four-year college, or an associates degree or diploma. Take classes in early childhood development and consider volunteering or finding part-time work in a child-centered environment, such as a day care center or school. After graduation, you must pass a national licensing exam called the NCLEX-RN to practice as a registered nurse.
Once you're certified, find a job as an RN in the office of a pediatrician or family doctor, or in the pediatric department of a hospital. Take advantage of "in-service" training and other opportunities to learn more about the unique health and developmental needs of children and adolescents. If you want to work with newborns (neonatal care), children who have cancer, children with emotional or developmental disabilities, or children who are critically ill, you may need additional training in those nursing skills, as well.
Once you've polished and demonstrated your nursing skills, you can pursue specialized training toward a certificate in pediatric nursing. Or, you may choose to earn a Master's degree in nursing to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) or a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) in Pediatrics. PNPs are allowed to make diagnoses, prescribe medication and manage care. To become a PNP or CNS, you have to take an exam and meet state certification and continuing education requirements.
In addition to nursing knowledge and practical skills, pediatric nurses must have the ability to form rapid connections with their juvenile patients. Children are often afraid to "go to the doctor," so the pediatric nurse must be able to dispel that fear and quickly earn the child's trust. These skills can be learned, but many pediatric nurses are people who are naturally "good with kids."
It also helps to be a quick thinker who can stay calm under pressure. Children know when an adult seems "worried," so pediatric nurses must be able to smile through even the most distressing situations.
You have to take care of yourself, as well. Working with children who are sick is emotionally draining. Burnout is common among pediatric nurses.

Bobby Flay recipe I plucked off the internet and tweaked after making it a couple times. Maybe it was the Browns win yesterday ... but god damn is this good.
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup sugar
2 jalapeno chiles, coarsely chopped
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 red onion, diced
EV Olive oil
1/4 pound steamed snow peas
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts, 8-ounces each
3 tablespoons canola oil
Salt and pepper
Steamed rice
Heat the grill to high. Place the vinegars, soy sauce, pineapple juice, sugar, jalapeno and ginger in a medium saucepan and cook over high heat until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. If the sauce becomes too thick, thin with a little bit of water.
Strain the sauce through a strainer into a bowl. Briefly saute the red and yellow pepper and onion in olive oil and then stir in the sauce along with the snow peas and cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
Brush the chicken on both sides with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 8 minutes, while also brushing with any remaining glaze. Place the rice on a large plate. Remove the chicken from the grill, place it on top the rice and drizzle it with the sauce.
Best when enjoyed after a Browns drubbing of the Patriots and with several Christmas Ales.

Topic: Is textile built in rails?
I knew this plugin for rails and i knew that for its support in rails i obviously had to install it to use textile in rails. Then i saw the famous screencast of the blog in 25 minutes (from rails official site) and i see that the helper method "textilize" is already there in rails ready to use. So i imagine that i have to install nothing. Am i right? Will this change in rails 2?

The guest lecture is free and open to the public.
Dr. Pensak is a technology innovator, entrepreneur and author who has lectured at over 30 universities, companies, and government agencies a Fellow of the Creative and Innovative Economy Center of the George Washington University Law School. He is currently on the faculty of the University of Delaware Business School and Drexel University College of Medicine (Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine). A Harvard PhD in organic chemistry and computer science, Dr. Pensak started his career at DuPont as a research chemist, directed many R&D projects across a variety of technology fields, and retired as their Chief Computer Scientist. He invented:
A high flow rate filtration system with a new class of membranes to clean up effluent water from abandoned Rocky Mountain mines
A biodegradable additive that mixed with animal manure in agricultural settings causes the fermentation to become aerobic rather than anaerobic, thereby decreasing smell, nitrogen and phosphorus runoff, and stabilizing the soil
A new class of concrete protection chemicals for streets and buildings with reduced weathering and pot-hole characteristics
A new kind of spackle for the construction industry that is immediately ready to paint, needs no sanding, and requires just one coat
A very low cost prosthetic hand which is within range of even the poorest developing country
A suite of materials that can be implanted in a periodontal procedure to minimize and/or eliminate gum resection surgery
A new coating for teeth that discourages the bacteria that cause plaque and tooth decay
A new class of textiles which are simultaneously waterproof, fireproof and breathable - at the weight of silk
And developed new technologies in heat storage and dispersal;
Dr. Pensak also directed a project to splice organ specific polypeptides from snake and insect venom to pharmaceuticals to decrease dosage levels and avoid deleterious interactions with unintended organs.
Nevertheless, Dr. Pensak is best known for his software inventions. He invented the first commercially successful Internet firewall, starting-up Raptor Systems to develop the technology, a company now owned by Symantec. Subsequently, he invented an enterprise digital rights security system, starting-up Authentica to develop the technology, a company now owned by EMC. Most recently, he founded Vi Laboratories in Waltham, MA, to develop new anti-piracy detection technologies and reporting systems.
He is presently working on technology innovation projects regarding biotechnology, energy, information technology, and materials.

Immigrant Entrepreneurs Make Our Economy Stronger; Create Good American Jobs
Comments welcome on this page. See Rules of Conduct.
Immigrant Entrepreneurs Make Our Economy Stronger; Create Good American Jobs
Eight years ago, a Turkish immigrant living in upstate New York saw an ad for a shuttered yogurt plant not far from his home. Where others saw an outdated, old factory, he saw an opportunity and a burgeoning business plan. He purchased the facility using a U.S. Small Business Administration-backed loan, hired five of the employees from the original operation and went to work.
Through hard work, perseverance, long days and sleepless nights, he steadily grew the business into one of the world's most successful yogurt companies.
That company is Chobani and the entrepreneur is Hamdi Ulukaya. Today, Chobani employs nearly 3,000 people and it was able to reach $1 billion in revenue, as Fortune Magazine reported, as quickly as technology companies Google and Facebook.
All across the country today there are immigrants who are starting and building successful businesses that create good American jobs and support their local communities. These are the mom-and-pop shops that form the fabric of our communities and the high-growth startups that will one day revolutionize their industries.
These small business owners possess the same entrepreneurial spirit, drive and determination as the generations who came before them. They remind me of my Grandpa Jack, who came to America from Russia in the early 1900s, and built a successful textile business in the United States.
As President Obama said in a speech earlier this month, "in recent years, one in four of America's new small business owners were immigrants. One in four high-tech startups in America were founded by immigrants. Forty percent of Fortune 500 companies were started by a first- or second-generation American."
Immigrants over-index in entrepreneurship. According to a study by the Partnership for a New American Economy, immigrants are more than twice as likely to start a business in the United States as non-immigrants, and in 2011, immigrants started 28 percent of all new businesses while only accounting for 13 percent of the U.S. population.
These businesses inject vitality and a global vision into our economy. Immigrant-owned businesses are exporting and opening up markets around the globe. New immigrants ensure diversity and new ideas in our society. Approximately 26 percent of all U.S.-based Nobel laureates over the past 50 years were foreign-born. And immigrants are strengthening our communities, fueling job creation and fostering innovation in key industries. According to the Partnership for a New American Economy study, every additional 100 foreign-born workers in STEM fields with advanced degrees from U.S. universities are associated with an additional 262 jobs among American workers.
To build on our nation's economic momentum and to accelerate job growth, we need an immigration system that works for America's entrepreneurs and small business owners. We need an immigration system that allows us to better compete in the 21st century global economy.
Comprehensive immigration reform, which passed the Senate yesterday, has three key pillars: smarter enforcement and border security; a path to citizenship for those who work hard and play by the rules; and an updated legal system that allows us to continue to attract and retain the most talented, hardest working men and women from around the world.
Last year, I spoke at a citizenship ceremony aboard the U.S.S. Constitution in Boston. There were people there from countries all over the world coming together to pledge their allegiance to the United States of America. Each had their own story about how they came to the United States, but when I was done speaking, the vast majority wanted to talk to me about one thing: how they can start their own business.
America needs more men and women like that. Our economy needs that energy. Our communities need that stability. And passage by the House of Representatives of a balanced, comprehensive immigration reform bill that reflects the fundamental American belief that we are both a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants will help make that possible.

Brunger to give 'last lecture' May 7
Brunger to give 'last lecture' May 7
May 2, 2013
Contact: Karen Eldridge, Director of Communications
865.981.8207; email@example.com
Dr. Scott Brunger, Maryville College professor of economics, will move his Economics 221: Economic Development class to the Clayton Center for the Arts and give his "last lecture" on May 7.
Brunger, who announced last fall that he would retire at the end of the 2012-2013 academic year, has entitled his lecture "The Big Idea" and will talk about his career as a professor at a liberal arts college.
It will begin at 2 p.m. in the Harold and Jean Recital Hall, and the public is invited. Former students are particularly encouraged to attend.
A reception will follow in the William Baxter Lee III Grand Foyer of the Clayton Center.
Brunger, who holds degrees from Yale University and the New School for Social Research, has taught economics and African studies at the College since 1982. His areas of expertise have included economic development in Africa and the U.S. automobile industry.
A former Presbyterian mission volunteer and active member of the Presbyterian Church (USA), Brunger also has been an expert on mission work and church finance, recently serving on an 11-member task force assembled by the PC(USA) to look at the recent recession and its impact on the church.
In 2006, he and fellow economist Charles Zech published Plain Talk about Presbyterian Giving, an analysis of data from the American Congregation Giving Study.
During his 30-year tenure, Brunger has submitted numerous articles and papers to various economics and African journals and presented his research at professional conferences.
In 1994, he published A Trade In Death: An Economics Murder Mystery in Africa, which he used to teach his students about economics, Christianity and the social fabric of West Africa. In 1997, he and Dr. Young-Bae Kim, a professor of political science at Maryville College, co-edited Effects of Japanese Investment in a Small American Community: A Case Study of Autoparts in East Tennessee.
Recent honors include selection as a fellow to the Salzburg Seminar for its session "The World Trade Negotiations: The Politics of Economics and Trade" in 2005.
Maryville College is ideally situated in Maryville, Tenn., between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Knoxville, the state's third largest city. Founded in 1819, it is the 12th oldest institution of higher learning in the South and maintains an affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Known for offering its students a rigorous and highly personal experience that includes an undergraduate research requirement, Maryville College is a nationally ranked institution of higher learning that successfully joins the liberal arts and professional preparation. Total enrollment for the fall 2016 semester is 1,197.

Q&A with 2013 Leadville champs Ian Sharman and Ashley Arnold
Q&A with 2013 Leadville champs Ian Sharman and Ashley Arnold
Runners near the top of the 12,600-foot Hope Pass, mile 45 and 55 of the Leadville 100. Photo by Yitka Winn.
This past weekend, thousands of runners and their friends, families and crews descended on the town of Leadville, Colorado, for the 31st running of the Leadville Trail 100 Mile (LT100), presented by Life Time Fitness. This year's race boasted one of the largest fields in trail racing, with 1200 racers admitted—a number that no doubt contributed to the electric energy of this historic race, while also presenting some challenges in terms of course overcrowding, depleted resources at aid stations and traffic jams for crews.
Nevertheless, I was grateful for the opportunity to run this year's race—my first ultra at altitude since moving to Colorado earlier this year—in anticipation of writing an in-depth feature story in an upcoming issue of Trail Runner. Just as I began the 3400-foot climb up Hope Pass—the "crux" of Leadville for many runners—the leaders came bombing down it in the opposite direction, grinning and whooping as they ran. Though I'm a middle-to-back of the pack runner myself, the out-and-back nature of the LT100 course allowed me to see much of the front-runner action unfold throughout the day.
Brit-turned-Oregonian-turned-Californian Ian Sharman, 32, took the win in 16:30:03, with Colorado's Nick Clark, 39, snagging second in 17:06:29. Both Sharman and Clark are taking part in this year's Grand Slam of Ultrarunning—competing in four of the country's most prestigious 100-milers, Western States, Vermont, Leadville and Wasatch, which occur in the span of 10 weeks.
My predecessor at Trail Runner and fellow Colorado resident, Ashley Arnold, 26, led the women's race from early on and never let her foot off the gas pedal—taking the win in 20:25:43. She shaved nearly three hours off her own record at Leadville, when she ran it in 2010 and took third. Shaheen Sattar, 29, of Texas, took second in this year's race with a time of 22:42:41.
Both Sharman and Arnold took the time to chat with me after the race about their experiences. Read on to hear their stories, or …

The study, known as the Northern Manhattan Study or NOMAS, included more than 2,500 adults, of whom 64% were women, 55% were Hispanic, 24% were black, and 21% were white. Each participant answered a diet questionnaire upon enrolling in the study and was given a score to indicate how closely their diet resembled the Mediterranean diet. These scores were based on adherence to the following dietary characteristics:
After an average of nine years of monitoring, the following relationships were seen:
"Higher consumption of a Mediterranean diet was associated with decreased risk of vascular events," the study's authors said. "[These] results support the role of a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and olive oil in the promotion of ideal cardiovascular health."

OCZ Technology Group has officially introduced its high-speed data link (HSDL) interface that it demonstrated earlier this year as well as announced release of its first product featuring the technology that eliminates interface bottlenecks for ultra high-performance solid-state drives.
As reported, the first implementation of HSDL utilizes a special controller that can be plugged into PCI Express bus. The controller supports one or more HSDL devices and provides bandwidth of up to 20Gb/s (2.5GB/s). HSDL uses the same base protocols as PCI-Express and bonds multiple serial channels into a single virtual channel. The HSDL interface relies on industry standard SAS cables, though thanks to using PCIe-like protocols can offer higher bandwidth.
The first solid-state drive (SSD) for HSDL will be called OCZ Ibis and will feature internal RAID 0 or Frame Information Structure (FIS)-based switching in order to ensure maximum performance and utilize additional bandwidth provided by HSDL. Each of the drives will be bundled with appropriate single-port HSDL controller, though, prices are projected to be very high. Quad-port cards for multiple drive configurations will also be available to clients seeking even greater storage and bandwidth.
The concept of HSDL seems to be pretty interesting: it allows to plug multiple very high-speed SSDs to PCI Express slots using special controllers and ensuring very high bandwidth. Obviously, plugging a single SSD into a PCIe slot provides even greater performance, but the amount of PCIe slots is limited in a number of cases and it may make more sense to either use extenders for PCIe-based SSDs or HSDL solution from OCZ Technology. The market for HSDL solutions will be relatively limited since it will take a long time before makers of servers validate the technology for use in their machines, whereas companies who do not need validation, but concentrate on raw performance hardly sell utlra-expensive SSDs.
"Solid State Drive throughput speeds are increasing at a rate in excess of what current storage buses can support, and as a result, storage protocols are quickly becoming the bottleneck to storage subsystem performance. Designed for both high-performance computing and enterprise storage applications, our new High Speed Data Link interface addresses this issue and revolutionizes data storage by significantly outperforming other current interfaces delivering performance at levels that saturate most CPU busses," said Ryan Petersen, chief executive officer of OCZ Technology.

Five Things That EQ2 Does Better Than WoW
Professor Syp (a wise man indeed but I have a mild inclination that he's not a real professor) issued a general call today for bloggers with experience with Everquest 2 to write an article about five features or aspects of EQ2 that are better than World of Warcraft. Being a EQ2 fanboi, how could I refuse? Name five things? Easy! I could write ten. But I won't.
Note: in the interest of continuing to explore the multicultural aspects of MMORPGs, I've decided to number each reason in a different language. Bonus points and imaginary high-five to anyone who can identify all of the languages.
Uno: Open Dungeons
I harp on about them quite a lot but open, or public, dungeons are an amazing feature which World of Warcraft is completely devoid of, totally to it's determent. Instances are all very well but they limit social interaction and the randomness of interactivity that creates the spice of life. Some of fondest memories come from open dungeons in EQ2 like Fallen Gate, Runnyeye, Permafrost, Castle Mistmoore and Karnor's Castle. Open dungeons + PvP = a lot of fun.
Ni: Mentoring
So, the most popular MMORPG of all time allows low level players to gain experience whilst grouped with those at the level cap? And they exploit this ability so they can be quickly "boosted" through instances to accrue easy experience and jump levels? And there's no such feature as mentoring e.g. the ability for a high level player to reduce their level to a low level friend and thus be able to group and play properly with them? Riiiight.
Dos: PvP Servers
Battlegrounds are fun but the PvP servers in World of Warcraft downright suck unless you enjoy being mercilessly ganked by level 80s in full raid gear constantly as you struggle to level up. The EQ2 PvP server, Nagafen, offers the best faction vs faction PvP I have ever experienced. It limits the attackable level range based on what zone you're in thus making combat fair, it offers good experience and rewards thus actively encouraging people to do it, and, best of all, taunt actually works thus making proper tanks a valuable component of a PvP group!
Fünf: Voice overs
Voice overs may require a lot of hard work but they add a ton of immersion to a game. Don't believe me? Just create a character and walk around Freeport and you'll never think that Stormwind is "busy" or "full of character" ever again. Oh and stop by Boomba on your way into the Commlands. Incredibly funny and a bit of nostalgia in the mix.
Fare: Shinies
Everquest 2 is with no doubt the ultimate collectors game. It has little shiny sparkles called, um, shinies randomly scattered on the ground throughout the land and they can be picked up by anyone to reveal little items that can be added to Collections. Complete a collection and you'll be rewarded with some experience and sometimes an item or other reward. Be warned though: shiny gathering is highly addictive, very competitive, and has been known to cause the wipeout of many a group, usually right after someone can be heard saying, "oooh, shiny!".
