POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - The Marist football team, in conjunction with the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation, will be holding an adoption ceremony for 11-year-old Daniel Ferretti on Friday evening.
Daniel is the older brother of Jaimie Ferretti, who was adopted by the Marist women's soccer team earlier this year. Daniel's adoption will take place at Tenney Stadium on Friday, just prior to the Marist women's soccer team's home game against Fairfield. Kickoff for that contest is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Daniel is part of the Friends of Jaclyn Safe-on-the-Sidelines program, in which siblings of adopted children are adopted by a team themselves.
Marist head football coach Jim Parady praised the efforts of Defensive Line Coach/Video Coordinator Tunde Agboke in helping the adoption become a reality.
"I'd like to thank Coach Agboke for working with the Friends of Jaclyn foundation and helping us secure the adoption," Parady said. "Everyone in our program is excited to become a part of the lives of Daniel and his family."
Several Marist teams and student-athletes are involved with the Friends of Jaclyn program. On Sept. 30, the Marist Student-Athlete Advisory Committee led a group of approximately 100 student-athletes in the Friends of Jaclyn Angel Walk, which took place at the Walkway Over the Hudson.
About Friends of Jaclyn
The mission of the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation is to improve the quality of life for children with pediatric brain tumors. The program is based on love, support and friendship between the child, the team, and the child's family. We pair a child with a college or high school athletic team based on geographic proximity so the child can be involved with the team as much as possible. The child is "adopted" by the team and becomes an honorary team member. The gift is in the relationship. The child gains a new support network of loving friends and the team learns to see the world with new eyes. (from www.friendsofjaclyn.net)

VOICE OVER: This is the Moment for the Top 12 on The Voice
The Top Twelve Live Rounds began tonight after last week, which was the first week of voting. On Monday and Wednesday, America voted for their favorite singers on NBC's The Voice, which allowed the top two from each of the four teams to automatically advance. However, after all eight were chosen, each coach got to save one more. So at the end of last Thursday night there were only three contestants on each team. The top twelve contestants from Teams CeeLo Green, Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton sang tonight, allowing fans to yet again vote for their favorites after the show ended. But this time, the coaches don't get to save anyone. It's completely up to the people now.
If you missed any earlier episodes on The Voice, or need to get a reminder on exactly who is still in the show, click here to read the past recaps!
To start off the night, Michaela Paige, who Blake saved last week, sang P!nk's recent hit, "Blow Me One Last Kiss." Her coach said, "This is exactly what she needs to do as an artist, but it's not gonna be easy." Michaela took the stage without her signature mohawk, and though she sounded a little off, she put her heart into what may have not been the best song choice. Nonetheless, Chrisitna, Ceelo, and Adam agreed that Michaela was one of their favorites on the show, and her coach Blake was extremely proud of her, not being able to say enough about how well she did. "Earlier, you were talking about making sure I made the right decision to save you. That performance left no doubt in my mind. I want America to know that I never worked with an artist that has the ability to take advice and translate it into what happened on this stage. That's how hard this girl works. PLEASE VOTE FOR THIS GIRL!! PLEASE! I'M BEGGING!"
Fan favorite and simply adorable guy, Christina's Dez Duron, sang Lauren Hill's version of The Four Seasons', "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." Through this arrangement, Dez hoped to channel his gospel side. This arrangement was hard to listen to for Frankie Valli fans but even so, Dez executed it well. He kept his pitch flawlessly, even while moving around on stage and walking amid the crowd. It was amazing. From listening to it, he sounded the same standing still as he did pacing. The coaches, not to mention the ecstatic (almost hysterical) girls in the audience, loved him and his performance very much. They all agreed that he had lots of charisma and ridiculous, unteachable stage presence. His coach clearly wanted to distinguish him from the other people on this show with awesome voices, so she told the audience about something they didn't know, namely, his personality, "How can you guys not love this guy? He's got a heart of gold too. He's a sweetheart! He's the real deal. You definitely have natural charisma, but when you get on the stage, you have the true star quality appeal that some people have. But you really have it. You have this really cool old soul crooner voice. There's more to come for Dez!"
Another member of Team Christina, Adriana Louise went with a bold choice: Carrie Underwood's "Good Girl." "Adriana has this great energy and great charisma that comes out, which is why this song is so perfect for her." This sweet girl delivered a very confident, sensual performance, which ended with her going over and singing to Adam, much to his surprise. Vocally, the upper notes were supported, which was undoubtedly hard. Christina was proud of her girl, saying, "That was so cute. Adam loves girls that get up in his face. The thing is, people that aren't actual singers that sing along on the radio don't realize how hard that is to sing live. It's really hard! The best is yet to come to you."
The first of the night from CeeLo's team, Cody Belew, said, "I want to be larger than life in personality. I want to be remembered for epic performances." With that in mind, he sang, "The Best" by Tina Turner. He handled this song very well, sounded very relaxed, and most importantly, didn't overdo it. This time, the male coaches really liked him, but Christina wanted more. "I was kind of missing- I'd like to see a little more up-tempo. You were so fun to watch when you did Gaga last week, so I'd like to see more bopping around the stage." His coach CeeLo gave him some simple remarks, "I enjoy you as a friend, as a comrade. You don't allow this competition to let you become cold. You keep it fun, and it's a pleasure."
Another favorite from last week, Amanda Brown of Team Adam sang "Spectrum," which Adam called ambitious, saying, "Amanda Brown has an unbelievable voice." As always, Amanda really brought it tonight, showing America why they kept this powerhouse performer on the show. Christina said she was still waiting to "connect to who Amanda Brown really is," and Adam basically told her that as an imperfect artist himsef, he could appreciate the raw imperfection in her voice. "You epitomize everything this show is about. That's one of the more ambitious songs you've chosen to sing. You have the power to deliver. I know you deserve to be here, and I think you can win this entire thing."
Another Adam mentee, Bryan Keith sang "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse. Bryan admitted, "Now on The Voice, singing is a real challenge, but it's also a sign of growth for me. It's super important that I connect with America." The coaches all told him that he was special, and with that, he rose to the top of Team Adam, they said. His own coach said, "Once the buttons are pushed at the Blinds, it's about moments everybody gets to have. You had your moment now, I think Amanda Brown had her moment last week. Congratulations! I'm so happy, and I think you're so strong. This is your moment." And with that, every Broadway fan watching this show undoubtedly burst into the Jekyll & Hyde song, "This is the Moment."

Harley 8 weeks to 12 weeks
Harley is now 15 weeks! He is getting so big so fast. My only questions for all the ownsers out there are what food are you feeding? We use blue buffalo wilderness large breed puppy but our trainer suggests raw food. We go clean him teeth weekly because of the kibble. Also, how early did you start teaching commands? Harley is in puppy class but the instructor insists I only ask him to come no other commands. Of course this is the first I am hearing of this and Harley already knows sit paw down stay up and speak. He even knows the hand signals. After hearing this a month into the class I am now fearful he will have a hard time during obedience/ protection training which is what the trainer said. Any thoughts?

Exactly..... I have a 2004 WRX with uppipe/downpipe, Borla Hush catback, lightened pulleys bla bla and I had an encounter with a 335xi. We were both lined up at a light on a 2 lane onramp to go on a highway. The 335xi's lane ended down the road a ways and the road curved to the left. I didn't know if the 335xi was going to get on it, so we both went into 2nd gear and seemed to nail it around the corner at the same time. I thought for sure with the curve and hitting the sweet spot in 2nd that I would have left him behind some. Nope, I was only able to hold him off in 2nd. Once I shifted into 3rd, the 335xi was walking away. If you beat a 335xi with a standard WRX either your WRX is seriously modified or the BMW was not trying to race you.

Posted by Steven Noble on April 27, 2010
One of the recommendations in my new report, Web Site User Experience 2010: Australian Banks, is that Australia's "big four" banks should study online retailers as as precursor to fixing their own broken website search systems. At present, these banks serve up a hodge-podge of media releases, FAQs, customer memorandums, product pages and more in their search results, giving users little clue about which search results they should click and why. By contrast, leading online retailers provide highly usable search results, which they help users to effectively preview, sort and refine.
But banks are far from the only businesses that need to look beyond the narrow confines of their own industry.
For example, when speaking with pharmaceutical marketers in Sydney yesterday, I was reminded that almost no Australian marketers in that industry set aside a portion of their budgets as internal seed capital, funding marketing experiments that are small enough to fail gracefully, but audacious enough to perhaps exceed all expectations. Big pharma, at least in Australia, could learn from how the leading global consumer packaged goods companies are supporting marketing innovation with devices like internal seed capital.

Recently, I discussed complexity with a banker working on measuring and managing complexity in a North American bank. His approach is very interesting: He found a way to operationalize complexity measurement and thus to provide concrete data to manage it. While I'm not in a position to disclose any more details, we also talked about the nature of complexity. In absence of any other definition of complexity, I offered a draft definition which I have assembled over time based on a number of "official" definitions. Complexity is the condition of:

The Goodman GPD14 Package Gas/Electric Dual Fuel Units combine money-saving efficiency, whisper-quiet operation, environmental-friendliness and superb performance to bring you peace of mind year after year. A Package Dual Fuel Unit is a Package Heat Pump with a gas furnace installed in the heat section instead of electric heat that is in a standard Package Heat Pump. This hybrid package system allows for both comfort and energy savings. It is more cost effective above the balance point to run electricity and the heat pump provides adequate supply air temperature at these outdoor temperatures to assure comfort. Below the balance point it is more economical and provides better comfort to utilize gas heat. Nothing performs more dependably than a Goodman Package Dual Fuel Unit.

So what exactly is in it for a young person in Greece, Italy, Spain, or apparently even France to stay home? Increasingly not a lot other than avoiding the difficulty involved in moving to another country far from home where the culture, language, etc. are different. That's a daunting challenge to be sure, especially in a continent where people are very rooted, not just in their country, but often their town, though this can be reduced if they move to a former colony. But it appears we are seeing early signs of migration out of some European countries.
It's way too early to say what this will turn into, but if an exodus of the youth does take hold, it isn't hard to imagine how this could hit a catastrophic tipping point in some countries. Facing unemployment, unfunded pensions, massive debts, austerity, and social unrest – as well as the prospect of getting stuck as the bag holder for all this – it isn't hard to imagine a flight for the exits among the young. This would be like a demographic Lehman Brothers. Once confidence is lost, there's a run on the bank, or in this case, a run for the exit.Sponsored Ads
This is far from assured, of course. But it's not an inconceivable outcome if things stay on the present course. Solving the nexus of issues around growth-euro-debt is critical for Europe, as is cracking the code on immigration. It seems unlikely birth rates will improve until these items are solved first. In the meantime, the US and Canada should be revisiting their own immigration laws to make sure they are poised to respond to – and benefit from – another wave of European economic refugees heads their direction.

Disarmed Europe will face the world alone – FT.com
One day the Europeans may find that the US is not there to deal with threats at their frontiers
In the 1970s, Mogens Glistrup, a prominent Danish politician, became famous for suggesting that his country replace its armed forces with a recorded message saying "we surrender" in Russian.
Glistrup is no longer with us but his approach to defence seems to be gaining ground. Europe's ability to use military force is dwindling fast, and with it the power of Europeans to defend their interests around the world. It is true that there are many troops from European countries deployed in Afghanistan, and the French are in Mali. But, behind the headlines, military capacity is shrinking.
An Economic Path to Citizenship or Residency
Bulgaria has entered the growing number of European countries willing to offer citizenship in return for the purchase of property valued at BGN 600,000 (US$414,000) or an investment of at least BGN 500,000 (US$345,000) that creates 10 jobs.
Residence Visas and Citizenship Are Up For Graphs in Many Countries | Sovereign Investor
The latest to join the residence/citizenship-for-sale list is Spain, where unemployment exceeds 20%. In an attempt to ease the debts crippling Spanish banks, the government will offer immediate residence rights to foreign property buyers who spend more than €160,000 (US$207,563).
Spain's Iberian Peninsula neighbor, Portugal, got into the act last month when a new law was adopted that issues what is being called the "Golden Passport." It enables investors from non-EU countries to gain residence if they transfer €1 million or more (US$1.3 million) in capital into the country, form a business that creates a minimum of 30 jobs, or purchase a property valued at a minimum of €500,000 (US$648,635).

Struggling Caribbean islands sell a quick path to citizenship
Without leaving his home in the United Arab Emirates, the Palestinian man recently received a brand new Dominican passport after sending a roughly $100,000 contribution to the tropical nation half a world away.
"At the start I was a little worried that it might be a fraud, but the process turned out to be quite smooth and simple. Now, I am a Dominican," said Mezawi, who like many Palestinians had not been recognized as a citizen of any country. That passport will help with travel for his job with a Brazilian food processing company, he said by telephone from Dubai.

Israeli officials play down report of Iran-U.S. deal | Reuters
Israeli officials played down a report in an Israeli newspaper on Monday that accused Washington of secretly negotiating with Tehran to keep the United States out of a future Israel-Iran war.
Israel's most widely-read newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, said Washington had approached Tehran through two unidentified European countries to convey the message that the United States would not be dragged into hostilities if Israel attacked Iran over its nuclear programme.

Ex-Revolutionary Guard member: Iran ready with terror plans to hit U.S. if Israel attacks – CBS News
He says these attacks are Iran's version of a warm-up, in the event of a full conflict with Israel.
"They're just sending signals that they are capable of, and the order is by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Iranian supreme leader that, should war break out, then all terror cells will become activated and attack major interests of America, Israel, European countries and even within America," warns Kahlili, author of "A Time to Betray."
But, given the number of alleged plots by Iran against Israeli targets, some analysts wonder why Iran would seem to keep provoking the very attack they say they want to avoid.
"The mindset of this organization that is the Iranian intelligence service and this government is not a Western mindset," Mudd observes. "We see stability as a goal. They see instability and revolution as a goal."

EuroCrisis: Bank Fraud May Collapse the Euro – International Business Times
The widespread use of deposit guarantees and the use of EU Government Bonds as any form of security will directly lead to a collapse in the value of the Euro.
Devaluation seems the only real exit now for Europe, Germany again will be a huge winner from such a move.
Devaluation either by the ECB, the European Banks or the market is now the only option if the EU is to continue. A drop in the EU to USD rate to 80c would dramatically improve the trade deficit in the trouble countries and offer some hope to their desperate economies.
While the move would pressure the German trade surplus creating an inflation event in the small number of European countries that are still near full employment, it remains a better option than having an economic catastrophe in many of the EU member states.
Around Europe the situation is an Economic mess.

The Loneliest Superpower – By Minxin Pei | Foreign Policy
The rare foreign visitor to China during the Cultural Revolution often saw a huge placard at the airport boasting the farcical claim, "We have friends all over the world." In truth, Maoist China — a rogue state exporting revolution and armed struggle around the world, and a bitter foe of the West and the former Soviet bloc — was extremely isolated. It had a few friendships with countries like Ceausescu's Romania and Pol Pot's Cambodia; for a few bleak years, China's only true ally was tiny Albania.
Forty years later, a powerful and assertive Beijing has a lot more friends. Its economic presence is warmly welcomed by many governments (though not necessarily people) in Africa; European countries regard China as a "strategic partner," and China has forged new bonds with leading emerging economies like Turkey, Brazil, and South Africa. Yet besides Pakistan, which depends on China for military and economic assistance, and which China supports mainly as a counterweight against India, Beijing has a shocking lack of real allies.
Italy's Mosque Wars :: Stonegate Institute
Many of the mosque projects in Italy have been promoted by leftwing politicians, who are waging an ideological war with the Roman Catholic Church. As in many other European countries, multiculturalists in Italy hope that by promoting Islam, they will eventually succeed in destroying the country's Judeo-Christian heritage.
Not surprisingly, most Italians are opposed to the idea of turning Italy into an Islamic republic. Polls show that many Italians view mosques as a "symbol of occupation" and more than a third do not want a mosque in their neighborhood.
Public backlash over the construction of mosques picked up steam in 2006, when the multicultural mayor of Colle di Val d'Elsa, a picturesque Tuscan town situated on the road between Florence and Siena, decided his town would be the perfect location for Italy's second-biggest mosque.
The town council, dominated by leftwing do-gooders, donated the land for the mosque, which is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. Funding to the tune of €500,000 ($650,000) came from Monte dei Paschi di Siena, the oldest bank in Italy.
In Bold Step, Europe Nears Embargo on Iran Oil – NYTimes.com
European countries have taken their boldest step so far in the increasingly tense standoff with Iran over its nuclear program, agreeing in principle to impose an embargo on Iranian oil, French and European diplomats said on Wednesday.
A final decision by the European Union will not come before the end of January and would be carried out in stages to avoid major disruptions in global oil supplies. But the move by some of Iran's most important oil customers appears to underscore the resolve of Western allies to impose on Iran the toughest round of sanctions to date, increasing pressure on Tehran to stop enriching uranium and negotiate an end to what Western leaders argue is an accelerating program to build a nuclear bomb.

The Coming Collapse of the European Union :: Stonegate Institute
How could so many clever people get it so wrong? The question was recently asked by the British politician Daniel Hannan in an article on the collapse of the euro; in the coming months, the same question will be asked more and more often about Europe itself.
Europe as it has been built may appear at best a huge error, and at worst a crime against the spirit of liberty that was supposed to be the initial source of inspiration for the whole edifice.
The idea that it is possible to build a society based on abstract principles — without considering historical, social and economic realities, as if its members were infinitely malleable – has often led to disaster; this time is no different.
The formation of this error began in the aftermath of World War II. Looking at the ruins left by Nazism and Fascism, politicians from various European countries fabricated a project meant to erase all past mistakes committed on the continent. They only repeated the mistakes.
The Coming Collapse of the European Union :: Stonegate Institute
The thinking of modern liberals is that people are bricks – everybody is the same. The new European man is a brick not the stone that you actually see.
Check out the poster on the right-hand side. The people are brick-like. Also, the EU parliament was modeled after the Tower of Babel. Probably not a particularly bright move.

Boeing Complaint
Several news outlets have erroneously reported in recent days that the National Labor Relations Board has ordered the Boeing Company to close its operations in South Carolina. (Examples here and here). In fact, the complaint issued on April 20 by the Acting General Counsel does not seek to have the South Carolina facility closed. It seeks to halt the transfer of a specific piece of production work due to allegations that the transfer was unlawfully motivated. The complaint explicitly states that Boeing may place work where it likes, including at its South Carolina facility, as long as the decision is not made for discriminatory reasons.
In addition, the Board has not yet considered or ruled on the allegations in the complaint. Under the NLRB's statute, the General Counsel and the Board are separate and independent, with the General Counsel functioning as prosecutor and the Board functioning as a court. The case is scheduled to be tried before an administrative law judge, acting under the Board's authority. That decision could then be appealed to the Board itself for its decision. (posted 4/26/11)

Having a personal stylist isn't just for celebrities. Any woman who wants to improve her quality of life personally and professionally should try working with a stylist.
Why? Let's break it down.
Learning how to dress your body type -- and knowing what's appropriate for different settings -- will help you dress to impress at any event. This will give you the kind of confidence that turns heads and allow you to be more visible both personally and professionally.
Think about it: if you're in line for coffee behind a hottie but you feel frumpy in your outfit, would you have the confidence to start a little small talk conversation? Not likely. And who knows where that conversation could potentially lead…
It's you, only better. If you're working with the right stylist, they will bring out your inner style; tweaking what you've already got so that it's still authentic, but much more polished and pulled together.
Why does it matter if you're more polished and pulled together? Because you lead with your look. Communication is 55% physical and, when you meet someone, you're making a first impression before you even have a chance to speak your brilliant thoughts. You better take advantage of that 55% and comb your hair, define your waist, add some mascara and shine your shoes!

Need more convincing? You can actually save time and money when you work with a stylist. Of course, you have to invest in the service. But what you spend on the service saves you time getting ready every morning and makes shopping a more streamlined and fun experience.
If you have a little extra money to invest in yourself, having a stylist shop for you is a transformative experience. Items selected just for you and your personal style are brought to you in the comfort of your own home.
In the long run, you save thousands by working with a stylist since you'll have clothes you love, that fit better and allow you to create new outfits. Compare this to the clothes you have still sitting in your closet with the price tags on them and it's a bargain!
To get the most out of working with a stylist, you need to keep in mind that you're making an investment in your sanity as much as in your style and career (and love life!). Book an appointment or a "style session" first to purge and take stock of your wardrobe. Since many women are overwhelmed by the information they get in the first session, opt for 3 or more sessions over the course of the year. This way, you're updating your looks seasonally and further integrating all the tools your genius stylist is giving you. Under the tutelage of your stylist, you'll soon be able to create killer outfits on your own.
The bottom line: once you work with a stylist, you'll be able to open your closet each morning and decide exactly what you want to wear in five minutes instead of twenty. And you'll always have something ready for that last-minute special event. If you have the resources, investing in a stylist will take your wardrobe -- and your personal brand -- to the next level. Plus, it's FUN!
We are surrounded by managers. Managers are responsible for organizing and maintaining our organizations, teams, families and more. Managers are great, but there are important differences between managers and leaders -- and they should not be confused. The biggest difference lies in the fact that managers will never change the world.
Every once in awhile, you run into a leader. You can spot them because leaders always see the silver lining. They're the people who always see the glass as "half full," not because they're delusional, but because of how they seem to know where the water is. They don't just see problems. They also see the opportunities and then they seize them. Instead of waiting for a big break, they create their own luck. Leaders are the ones with the power to change the world, and they are in high demand in every segment of our society.
On the inside, many of us hear an inner voice telling us that it's time to start making an impact -- to move to the front and lead. But how do you become a leader? Below are some principles of authentic leadership. Transforming yourself into a leader takes work. But if you start to take on the mindset of a leader, you will see your families, workplaces, and communities change.
Both managers and leaders can be identified by what they focus on. Managers obsess over protocol and rules, while leaders are more concerned with the individuals that make up the team. Leaders know that the potential of any organization lies within the individual.
Some people try to "lead" by using manipulation or guilt to get things done. This type of control is not true leadership. It may be effective for a time, but soon burnout or resentment will set in. On the other hand, leaders inspire others to find motivation within themselves. The result is a person who has become a self-starter and no longer has to rely on the overbearing superior to spur them into productivity.
Managers are always focused on, and, in many cases, worried about money. This is not necessarily a bad thing. But if you are always focused on the bills or the overhead, you cannot look forward to new ideas and opportunities. I believe that money should never be the goal of your efforts. The goal should be to contribute your best. Money is the result and product of your work.

Managers are interested in fulfilling their duties and completing their objectives, and oftentimes they do this mindlessly. But leaders are interested in the purpose of their work and what they can bring to the table. They're after significance, and they want their work to matter.
Some people are afraid of change, and they get uncomfortable with anything that looks or feels different than the norm. These people can be good managers, but at this stage they are not leaders. Leaders embrace change, especially when change is needed. They push the boundaries of status quo, and because of their slightly rebellious nature, they are often the ones that find the new ideas first. These are the type of people who are sought after by companies like Apple and Google, because companies like that know that this mindset is the difference between stagnation and innovation.
As a word of warning, while you will find much success from following these principles, you may also experience criticism, obstacles, and all kinds of "player hating." It's lonely at the top, and some people will take pleasure in sabotaging your progress. But you are too important to let them discourage you. We need leaders, and you might be the one destined to bring new life to your family, company, or the world.

What exactly is that white and green, bulbous thing sitting on the produce shelf with celeryesque stalks decorated by fine, feathery fronds? Why, it's FENNEL my friend—a refreshing and delicious vegetable. The flavor is slightly sweet, with notes of mellow black licorice and crisp texture.
I had my first "fennel flirtation" at a cozy little cafe in Laguna Beach. I was sitting at a tiny table in front of an open window facing the ocean, breathing in the damp sea and feeling the cool, salty breeze. I wanted a light snack with bright flavors. Always one to try something new, I ordered the shaved fennel salad with blood orange supremes, cracked black pepper and a Meyer lemon vinaigrette. The subtle hints of black licorice from the fennel danced beautifully with the sour lemon, spicy pepper and sweet, juicy orange pieces. I became a fennel fan right then and there. Now I pass along to you some fun fennel facts as well as my three favorite ways to enjoy fennel.
Fennel is used frequently in Mediterranean and Italian cooking, but there are endless ways to create edible delights with this member of the Umbelliferae family. Carrots, parsley, dill and coriander are all relatives of this versatile veggie. Some will tell you fennel is also called anise, but it's not. They are two different plants (though related), and if you need proof, click here.
Fennel pairs well with the following: butter, celery root, cheese, chestnuts, citrus, coriander, cream, fruit, garlic, hearts of palm, lemon, mushrooms, olive oil, olives, onions, oranges, pancetta, peppers, Pernod, potatoes, sherry, thyme, tomatoes, truffles, and vinaigrette. The best part? Experimenting with these combinations may produce magical results! Fennel can be served raw, roasted, braised, grilled, deep fried, pureed, sautéed and in soups.
The bulb, stalks, and fronds are all edible parts of the fennel plant, but the bulb is the section most commonly used in cooking, while the stalks and fronds are generally used for garnish. To prepare fennel, cut off the stalks and fronds (perhaps save for garnish or stock). If the bulb is large, you might want to peel off the thicker outer layer. Next slice off the root end and shave it, slice it, dice it, cut it into wedges or roast it whole!

Shaved Fennel Grapefruit Salad with Pea Shoots and Vodka Citrus Vinaigrette My favorite way to eat fennel is shaved-thin and raw in salads with a perfect amount of sea salt and citrus. This is when I can really taste the licorice flavor that I love!
Scallop Fennel Chowder {By Coconut & Lime} Fennel is delicious is many soups, but this chowder, made with sweet scallops, shallots, and bacon won my heart recently.
Pecorino-Roasted Fennel and Carrots {By Buff Chickpea} Roasting fennel is one rockin' way to enjoy this unique vegetable. It brings out the sweetness and is an easy side dish to make that still brings a fair amount of flare to the table.
So, the next time you're shopping, toss a few fennel bulbs in the basket and have fun flirting with this healthy, fabulous food.
Being an ambitious entrepreneur is a gift and a curse. On the one hand you get things done. You have a vision, you started a business and you're making a difference in this world (and some money). On the other hand, your schedule is overflowing with client work, networking events and business opportunities. There is always something more you could be doing. The questions becomes: How do you fit it all in?
Here are some tips for managing your schedule as a busy entrepreneur:
Focus on the Big Rocks. Stephen Covey famously spoke about putting your "Big Rocks" first. Look at the mission of your business. What are you trying to accomplish? What is your purpose? Each day, think about the three most important things that will help you move forward on your business – your Big Rocks – and create a schedule to get them finished first. Once you've completed your Big Rocks for the day, you can move on to less important activities. And on those days that you're only able to get one or two things accomplished – it happens to the best of us – at least you know you've tackled the most important things on your list.
Bucket Your Tasks. Set your schedule up so that you're working on similar tasks all day. For example, I schedule all client meetings and coaching calls for Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Mondays are reserved for writing and planning. Fridays are my admin day. Creating a solid schedule helps in two ways: 1) you're not constantly bouncing from task to task and 2) you know exactly what you'll be working on each day.
Get Rid of the Fluff. Let's be honest. There are going to be things that just never get done. If you take an honest look at your day's activities, you'll see that there are some activities that you've picked up along the way that are no longer serving you. Maybe you had a problem saying "no" or maybe it's something that seemed exciting when you first took it on. Either way, if it is not serving your bottom line, it needs to go. Does this activity align with your purpose and move you forward? If not, then it is time to place it on the back burner.

Figure out Your Energy Zones. Take a look at your energy levels throughout the day and schedule high energy activities when you feel the most alive. Are you a morning person? Crank through your to-do list early on. Do you find your stride after lunch? Schedule your tough mental tasks then.
Take It Easy. Part of the fun of being an entrepreneur is making your own schedule. Make sure to schedule breaks and down time so that you can refresh. That might mean hitting up the gym during lunch or simply setting a timer so that you take periodic breaks throughout the day. Don't get too down on yourself for having an off day – we all need a break sometimes.
Keep it Professional. Full time entrepreneurs can find themselves slacking on the rigid scheduling. Early morning meetings are replaced with nooners. Business professional clothes are replaced with PJ's... all day long. It's fine to make your own rules if you are running the show, but try not to let all of your professionalism go out the window. Keep a clear, daily schedule even if you don't go into the office everyday.
Once you are able to lock in a solid schedule, you'll be able to focus on your revenue generating activities and really grow your business. Get laser focused on the activities that will move you forward and let the rest fall to the wayside. And when in doubt, take a little break!
If you've decided to try your hand at running a start-up, you're brave. It takes a lot of guts to make a go of it on your own. But you're not alone. Over seven million people make the leap and start their own business each year. That's a lot of new businesses!
One of the fastest growing sectors of new companies are tech start-ups, where we're seeing more and more women in charge. While the numbers right now aren't great – currently fewer than five percent of tech start-ups are run by women – that number is climbing rapidly.
If you're a woman thinking of becoming one of these pioneering tech bosses, kudos to you! But that doesn't mean you can go out there without knowing what needs to be done. Once you decide to get into entrepreneurship, you need to assemble a Start-Up Checklist.
It's every minor thing a woman must do if she is thinking of starting her own company. It's easy to remember the Big Stuff: get an idea, get an office, get a loan. (Well, maybe not so easy. )
But what about the intangibles that aren't required by law? Those are the ones that entrepreneurs sadly overlook quite often. And it's easy to do because you don't often read about them.
Unless they're on your checklist!
So what are these things that need to go on this list?
One of the most important decisions an entity can make is deciding how their company will be structured. Will you be an LLC? A corporation? Perhaps a partnership? Whichever one you pick, it will have serious consequences, both for how your business runs and how it is taxed.
Once it's decided, then you need to draw up your governing document. For an LLC, this is called an OA. For a corporation, it's called your bylaws. They're essentially the laws of your company. And they are a necessity if you want to protect yourself.
Picking the best structure for your needs can be the difference between glory and ignominy. Once you organize, you need to get everything down in writing. Especially from your employees.
A non-disclosure agreement, colloquially known as an NDA, is possibly the most overlooked document that every start-up needs and so few have. It can save your company from losing what is often its most important aspects: that is, its ideas.
An NDA assures that employees can't spill the beans concerning trade secrets and other sensitive information. But more than just making sure everyone keeps their trap shut, NDAs ensure that in the event that your intellectual property does get out there, you can be compensated for the damages. Otherwise, you might be left with a super unique, money making idea that everyone else has now too.
Employee handbooks don't just tell employees what the policy is for replacing the yogurt in the company fridge. Employee handbooks act as a way of ensuring there is zero confusion over what employees are allowed to do and what they are not. It clears the air concerning the rules and regulations in the business. And this can be invaluable if an employee ever sues you.
The shift to using independent contractors is a trend that's been sweeping the tech world for some time now. But the line between an employee and an independent contractor is often a thin one indeed. It's not uncommon for workers classified as independent contractors to sue for the rights normally given to employees. If you haven't had a worker sign something detailing what the arrangement is, you could be on the hook for providing all the perks to a contractor that an employee gets.
If you haven't noticed, a lot of these tasks are in place to protect an entrepreneur from going into the courtroom. It's because that's the one thing start-ups never dream could happen but often does: legal trouble. Protecting yourself starts with getting it in writing. Of course there are a million things that a new entrepreneur needs to do before they reach success. But this checklist should help you have a smoother ride on the way there.
One of the biggest compliments a woman can ever receive is being asked to be someone's maid of honor. It means that you are the one they trust to make sure their wedding day is the happiest day of their lives. It means that (minus the groom of course!) you are the one they want standing beside them during all of the festivities. It also may mean that you will need to roll up your sleeves and help out your best friend for the next few months. I recently had the pleasure of being my sister's maid of honor and a couple months later she was mine. Here are some of the things we feel makes a "MOH" truly exceptional.
Weddings don't magically come together. It takes a lot of time, money and DIY projects to get everything how the bride envisions it. As a maid of honor you should be the one offering to help to get things done. Trust me, helping out with the 500 paper cranes needed for wedding favors will take a load off of a busy bride and make her feel like she doesn't have to do everything alone.
Bridesmaids dresses can be good, bad or just plain ugly. I have never met a bridesmaid who absolutely loved her dress. I have heard numerous stories about people throwing fits because they hated the color or fit. It's fine to voice your opinion but it's really not up to anyone besides the bride and groom what the bridal party wears. As maid of honor its your job to encourage an accepting attitude among the rest of the wedding party. When it's your turn you can make everyone wear lime green taffeta. It's only right.
Bachelorette parties don't have to equate to a Vegas trips. You are the one who knows the bride the best so you should know how this party should be thrown. If the bride is more conservative, a stripper and jello shots probably won't be her idea of fun. It's up to you to plan a night that's all about her and get everyone involved. Ask for a list of her friends and their contact info and plan something special!
In a perfect wedding the bride should never know if something is going wrong. This means no vendor should talk to the bride or groom on their wedding day. If questions need to be asked or checks handed out it's up to you to take care of it. Make sure all the vendors have your phone number so they can call you with any problems. It's also helpful for a MOH to call these people a week before the wedding to confirm all plans. It may be a lot of work but your best friend/blushing bride will thank you.
A bride looks forward to hearing the toasts at her wedding. It's a time for her to hear the people she loves wish her well as she starts her new life and family. Please don't get on the mic and bring up embarrassing stories. Make it something for her to remember. Something that shows thought and adds personal touches is a given tearjerker. She will always remember what you said and how you made her feel, make sure you put in the effort!
We've reached 2013 and I'm sure the one common resolution on most people's list is to get in better shape. Having been a NCAA Division I athlete, I promised myself that I'd never pay to workout. Why pay to workout when Cal was footing the bill? However, when I graduated, I finally saw what everyone else was doing. They were signing up for Yoga ($35/class), Barre Method ($25/session), and Equinox memberships ($225/mo). I couldn't believe that people were paying to kick their own butts. $35 for a class isn't too expensive if you're just taking the class once. But like anything, to really get results, you'll need to stick to a routine. That means that you should be following your regimen at least 3 times a week. 3 times a week x $35/class x 4 weeks, rounds out to a cool $420/mo! If you're like me, you're not-so- keen on paying big bucks to stay in shape. Free is where it's at, so here are a few free workout routines.
I do my best to stay long and lean. That means I do a fair amount of cardio work, combined with short explosive movements. Hill work is perfect for this. Usually I run/warm-up for 30-40 min before starting my hill routine. Once warmed up, I do the following: 2 sets of five, 40 second hills (run as far as you can for 40 seconds, jog back to the bottom, and repeat. Adjust your rest and intensity as your fitness increases. Beginners should walk down and rest at least 90 sec in between each rep. Take 5-8 minutes in between sets.) 2 sets of five 30 second hills and a cool down. I keep my heart rate up, and my tush in shape.
The beach is amazing if you're prone to impact injuries or if you just want a little extra resistance. If you're near the sand dunes, I highly suggest putting in an hour of work on them. No sand around? Go to a park and run on grass or dirt. There's not a ton of resistance, but they are both easier on the joints than concrete.
Find a bench that's about 2 feet off the ground and start some circuit work. Rotate between dips, step-ups, burpees, box jumps, push-ups, wall sits, and core. Keep moving for at least 30 min.
Grab a pair of sneakers and head to a local trail. There are many great things about hiking. 1. You can control the intensity of your workout based on your trail, 2. You get the added benefit of enjoying the scenery, and 3. It's easy to convince friends to come along. Everyone loves a beautiful hike.
If you're in L.A., you can go to the Santa Monica or Culver City Stairs. If not, head to your local high school. Beginners should walk the first few times, but as soon as you're ready, start running. I do 3 sets of 10 continuous up/downs. Fill your rest in between with core work.
Ok, so you really want to take a class, but you aren't sure that you want to invest the money? Many classes offer free trials. Dirty little secret: Right out of college, a friend and I class hopped, just taking the trial class of each fitness routine. I don't necessarily suggest doing that, but remember that you can always try a class before you buy.
No matter how you choose to get your workout in, the most important thing is that you have fun and safely test your limits. Keeping your workouts fun will ensure that you stick to your plan. Be sure to keep track of your heart rate. If you're aware of your resting heart rate, and heart rate during workouts, you'll be able to appropriately manage your intensity. Once you've gotten into your routine, don't be afraid to bump up the intensity every once in awhile (with your doctor's blessing of course). Your workout will get easier over time, but don't just settle in your comfort zone. Mix it up!
Are you tired of spending money on food only to have it spoil before you eat it? Me too! Every year, American households throw away an average of 470 lbs. of food because of spoiling and poor storage. I don't know about you, but 470 lbs. of food could feed me for a LONG time! Here are some ways to save yourself some cash when it comes to groceries!
Fruits and veggies should be stored separately in the crispers because the gases given off by different types could cause others to rot prematurely. To absorb moisture, lay a paper towel on the bottom of the drawer and replace when wet.
It is best to wrap leafy greens in a dry paper towel and then put in a perforated plastic bag and replace paper towel when it becomes moist. Tip: if you are looking for a lettuce that lasts longer, buy Romaine!
This great site I found lists fruits and vegetables and where they should be stored to last the longest. Check it out!
DO NOT store dairy on the door of your fridge. The temperature from opening and closing the door is too warm for the very perishable items. Instead keep things like milk, butter and cheese in the body of the fridge where the temperature stays more consistent. Always keep cheese in the original container until opened, and then wrap in plastic and store in a plastic bag or airtight container.
Meat is something you should be very careful with since it can spoil easily and can cause illness when not handled properly. Always store meat in its original packaging and never place on top of where produce or other foods are kept. If the package didn't come with a tray, place a pan underneath to catch any drippings.
Tip: Freezing is a great way to keep meat fresh until you want to use it! Just make sure it's in its original packaging or wrapped tightly.
You know those little egg trays most refrigerators have on their door?? Or the cute ceramic trays you can buy at Sur La Table? DON'T use them. Eggs need to be stored in their original container as they are built with holes to keep air flowing. Also, like dairy, eggs can spoil quickly when in warm temperatures so it's best to keep them off of the door and inside the fridge.
Herbs are very similar to fresh flowers because they both need to be kept in water. Trim the stems and place in a cup of cold water and put in the door of your fridge (since this is the warmest area). Change the water and re-trim every 1 or 2 days. Basil or mint store best when in water on the countertop. Always cover the tops of herbs with a loose plastic bag.
Store all leftovers in airtight, clear containers (preferably glass!) and always refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking. It is best to divide food into small flat containers so that they cool faster, but waiting for the food to cool down before storing is unnecessary since most modern refrigerators can handle the heat! Also never store anything in an opened can. Once the can is open, metal on the rim can leech into the food.
Since I started researching how to keep foods fresh longer I have had to throw away WAY less food, which is much better for the environment and my pocket! I have also found that my fruits and vegetables taste better and I eat them more often. So it's a win for my waistline too!
The holiday season is right around the corner. That means cocktail parties, cocktail dresses, and of course, the classic LBD. What that also means is you'll need to gain the will power to "just say no" to your pants with the elastic waistband this Thanksgiving and in the weeks that follow. Here are few simple, easy-to-follow tips to enjoy your holiday eating and imbibing without the guilt.
Exercise in the morning
Plan a hike with your family and/or visiting guests, join a local group bike ride, or check out local fitness facilities that offer special Thanksgiving or other morning classes. On Turkey Day, check to see if your hometown holds a Turkey Trot or another fun 5k or 10k race on Thanksgiving morning. Many of these races exist around the country and most of the proceeds benefit food banks and local charities trying to feed the hungry.
Including physical activity on the mornings of the most gluttonous season of the year means you will be able to increase your metabolism for the day and will likely make better food choices when at the dinner table. If you decide to indulge in an extra slice of pie or glass of wine, at least you've burned a few calories first!
Maintain your workout schedule
Company, club, and family parties may interfere with your regular workout schedule. Checking your weekly schedule at the beginning of each week is a good practice to keep, and even more so during this time of holiday commitments. When holiday parties interfere with your workouts, reschedule your workout at a different time. Don't skip your workouts, even if it means abbreviating them. Squeezing in 15-20 minutes will still provide you more benefits than not doing anything at all.
Don't skip breakfast
In order to prevent guilt-ridden overeating and letting out the waistband on your trousers, eat breakfast. Do not skip meals earlier in the day. Prepare healthy meals or snacks before your dinner to avoid feeling famished, which can result in overeating.
Use smaller plates
I know... you are already dreaming about plates laden with Thanksgiving goodies. But if you want to keep your summer shape, you will have to serve yourself smaller portions all winter long. Serve yourself 1/3-1/2 of what you would normally put on your plate. If you opt for a second serving you should still serve yourself a smaller portion. With this approach you will consume at least half the calories of holidays-past.
Practice conscious consumption
Rather than eating mindlessly while deep in conversation, look at what you stick your fork into before putting it in your mouth. Enjoy the flavors while savoring the food as you chew slowly. You will be less likely to eat the food that is not as satisfying to you, become satiated faster, eat more slowly (which means you will have less time to go up for seconds), and enjoy the taste of your meal at the first plate.
Enjoy this holiday season! And if you follow these tips, you'll be able to do it while staying the same size into the New Year's Eve party. Read: you won't be one of those frantic weight loss fanatics fighting over the treadmill at the gym, madly trying to lose the nine pounds gained over the course of the five weeks of winter holiday festivities. Instead, you'll look stunning and chic as you ring in 2013.
Long distance relationships are not for the fearful; they're for the audacious.
The brassy, bold + brave.
You exchange massive time alone for fleeting doses of joy with your beloved.
Critics say the long-distance relationship is doomed.
Heartache inevitable.
Dreams decimated.
"You can't go on that way forever," they tout.
But you insist you can.
And as long as you do, you'll be required to practice the qualities of faith + fortitude
Independence + imagination...
It's for those who find possibility in the improbable.
It can be a shelter for the non-committers, for, the less-than-motivated.
Yet, to be enamored with someone's absence is to be a quintessential romantic.
And who can thwart the benefits?
The urgency of every second together. Because they all count.
Elation rushes in as each kiss is savored, every touch cherished.
Reality is divinely air-brushed + memories pristinely sealed—set aside to be deliciously revisited later.
On the phone your makeup is perfect, your legs are always shaved + your sweatpants and decal tee shirt become silk shorts and a lace bra.You never have to pick up his laundry, wash the dinner dishes or ask him to finally for-the-love-of-god-turn the TV off. How many times can you watch Transformers, the movie, anyway?
Yet, love + doubt aren't mutually exclusive.
And in the case of long distance relationships bliss can certainly require sweat.
Someone is:
:: giving too much + getting too little in return
:: wanting to close the distance gap but repressing the need to express it for fear of "rocking the boat" + risking a breakup.
:: tired of living a double life. one with their partner + generally, a bigger one without their partner
:: being crushed by anxiety + jealousy.
And oh, those phone bills! Distance can work for friends + relatives but when it comes to romantic love, the long distance relationship will always fall short.
Short on satisfaction.
There is a rare population of couples that can pull it off–and the only reason it works is that it genuinely works for them. Both feel they are getting their needs met + do not secretly wish for an alternative situation.
If that's you, congratulations. Ignore everything I said + keep on keepin' on.
But the chances are that it's not you, because the only way to make a long distance relationship work is to close the separation gap—eventually.
Short-term long distance relationships: not usually a problem. Long term, open-ended distances are the stuff hell is made of. With the imperfections + benefits of long distance relationships glaringly clear—-
Do you stay or go?
Roll the dice or walk away now?
The answer begins + ends with the truth.
Always with the truth.
How deep do the roots of this relationship go?
Deep enough to sustain your spirit during the days + weeks of separation?
What do you need from your partner on a daily basis?
Witness what comes up for you. Write it down. Articulate it.
First to yourself + then to him or her.
Can he or she provide it?
Will your situation allow it?
You know the answer.
Even when you deny that you do.
Tune in.
Listen up.
Your heart + gut want to educate you on limitations, expectations + salutations.
When to go harder.
When it's been enough.
When to very lovingly, calmly say:
I loved you while I could. As best as I could. With all I could.
Thank you for you. When I had you.
Good luck.
And love pulses along in spite of it all.

911 verse
Prominent British poets have banded together to create an online anthology of poems called Emergency Verse: Poets in Defence of the Welfare State. The e-anthology was created in protest of the coalition government's public spending cuts, and will be mass-emailed to the Prime Minister and other politicians this month.
Read more at the Guardian:
Morrison, 36, whose latest poetry volume, Keir Hardie Street, charts an odyssey through an imaginary utopian London, describes Emergency Verse as his "paper call to arms" over the "breakup" of the NHS and the "transparent unfairness" of George Osborne's emergency budget – which capped housing benefit and pegged future rises in welfare payments to the lower measure of inflation, the consumer price index.
"I felt it my duty to call on like-minded poets to join in a verse campaign against the emergency budget and in defence of the welfare state," he says. "Auden once said, 'Poetry makes nothing happen.' Audacious as it may sound, we're trying to prove poetry can make things happen. The power of words should not be underestimated: we need a Big Poetry to combat the Big Society, and I hope EV will help shape that fightback in verse."

ASRock's Vision 3D home theatre PC is undoubtedly impressive. It's compact, well-built, and offers every connection you could ever need. It's powerful enough for most tasks, including light 3D gaming, while a mostly aluminium shell and slot-loading Blu-ray drive give it that premium touch. In fact, as an overall package it's probably the most desirable HTPC we've seen so far. However, you do pay for these luxuries, and there are cheaper alternatives that will perform similarly in core tasks like Full HD video and 3D Blu-ray playback.

Celery: Nature's Toothbrush!
Not sure exactly what kind of patronage those patrons are providing, but I have more than a suspicion the original audience for this delightful poster were denizens of the demimonde.
UPDATE: I am reliably informed that this comes from Dark Horse Comics' series Devil Chef, which I must now keep an eye out for on Amazon.

FRENCH PRISONERS HERDED INTO PARIS; Weary Soldiers Limp Through City as Growing Legions of Nazis Put on Parades NORMAL LIFE RETURNING Some Shops and Cafes Reopen for Trade of Invaders-- People Are Polite
PARIS, June 16 (UP)--(Via Berlin and Berne, Switzerland; Delayed)-- The streets of Paris echoed again today to the sound of French military boots, on the third day of the German occupation. They were the boots of exhausted French prisoners of war.

The Dan Cave
Deep within the underground network of caverns beneath Nerdist HQ is a special place where pop culture, passion, and groanworthy puns collide: THE DAN CAVE. Each week, your host, Dan Casey, will use his expert knowledge of pop culture, amiable demeanor, incredible sense of humor, unrivaled handsomeness, and tremendous modesty to take you on a deep dive into the worlds of cinema, prestige television, comic books, and much more. As Uncle Ben once said, with great power comes great responsibility, and Dan feels a great responsibility to give you an insider's perspective of the expansive, often daunting world of pop culture. You know, like a nerdier Jules Verne. From putting breaking news stories under the microscope (What does Harrison Ford's broken leg mean for Star Wars?) to sounding off on burning nerd questions (What's really going on with the DC Cinematic Universe?) to curating some of the best pieces of pop culture ephemera the Internet has to offer (have you seen the slow-mo BMX prom scene from Rad?), Dan will be your spirit guide through the wide world of nerdiness, offering up a little something for everyone and plenty of laughs along the way.

Advice To Linux: Kill The PenguinSubmitted by Ty on September 6, 2006 - 11:00am
Whenever I compare Linux or open-source technologies to their Microsoft-inspired counterparts, I invariably receive numerous e-mails agreeing or disagreeing with my conclusions. While many of those e-mails are kind, some are flames, which just goes to show how highly charged the channel is about Linux—both pro and con.
To fan those flames, so to speak, I have some additional criticisms about Linux. Right off the bat, if Linux wants to be taken seriously by the business desktop market, it has to first...

The Complete Open PhoneSubmitted by Ty on September 6, 2006 - 9:00am
Last week Trolltech used the LinuxWorld Expo as the backdrop to announced the "Greenphone." (also, LinuxDevices is running an article about it too.) The Greenphone is, according to Trolltech, targeted squarely at the open source community. No more will carriers and handset manufacturers tightly control the bits on your handset, now you'll be able to put your own apps on a high-quality mobile phone that has an integrated camera and WiFi connection.
Open source robotics toolkitsSubmitted by Ty on September 6, 2006 - 8:00am
Building a robot involves skills from many disciplines, including embedded firmware and hardware design, sensor selection, controls systems design, and mechanical design. But simulation environments can provide a virtual arena for testing, measuring, and visualizing robotics algorithms without the high cost (and time) of development. This article introduces you to some of the open source robotics toolkits for Linux, demonstrates their capabilities, and helps you decide which is best for you.
Google Promotes Open Source OCR LibrarySubmitted by Ty on September 6, 2006 - 7:00am
"You might wonder," reads a Google corporate blog post yesterday morning, "why Google is interested in [optical character recognition]." Indeed, you might wonder that if you didn't already know that Google has been deeply involved with an on-again/off-again project to produce a digital library of the world's literary material.
Although that project is officially suspended, work continues on one of the technical prerequisites to making such a library possible: a project called Tesseract, begun in 1985 at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. The school worked with HP to construct a reliable OCR system that works with all manners of printed text.

The opening song on Bananarama's eponymous second album is called Cruel Summer and it must be what's going through the heads of the Astana riders right now.
Last year the team were winning stages and delivering Alberto Contador to the overall victory; the year before they were pretty much doing the same, while getting all the publicity of Lance Armstrong's lauded comeback.
This year, however, it's all a bit, well, pointless. Their roster of four home-grown Kazakh riders is not as self-punishing as Katusha's ridiculous Sputnik-esque foray into all-Russian outrecuidance, but it's hardly going to bring home the bacon.
As for putting all their eggs in the basket of Shy Boy Roman Krueziger... What a Shambles! It's Really Saying Something, but they can Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye after the Czech cycling trustafarian rolled home more than 20 minutes down.
Granted, Kreuziger had a sore wrist after beating off the tarmac on Friday - but the former Liquigas man never looked in form during the opening week of racing.
Still, they have perpetual hope Vino, the Kazakh snow leopard retiring at the end of the season and hoping to go out with a big bang.
Vinokourov has been open about this being his last Tour and honest about his chances: he's not here for the GC, he's here to win a stage and do as best as he can.
And that can be brilliant - as we were reminded when he zipped off the front of the peloton on the penultimate climb in stage eight, in a move that was about as predictable as a confusing Tweet from Fabian Cancellara.
Vintage Vino at one point looked to have pulled off a veritable coup: the stage win and with it, the yellow jersey missing from his collection of cycling memorabilia.
But Vino Version 2011 is a far cry from the one of yesteryear. Even the pounding Eurasia trance and Kazakh turbo-folk he was no doubt listening to through his earpiece wasn't enough to reel in the former Benfica playmaker Rui Costa and drive the snow leopard to that elusive maillot jaune.
Like Big George Hincapie, Vino may retire at the end of the season never having donned the Tour's fabled yellow jersey. And that would be a travesty for Kazakhstan.
Still, he's only 32 seconds down in the GC, and given his climbing ability in the high mountains is now probably worse than Thor Hushovd's, then tomorrow's stage may be his last chance to join the illustrious club. Who would get against him having a pop?
Gaffe of the Day: Pierre Rolland almost bit the bitumen when his rain jacket got caught up in his back wheel.
Plat du Jour: Fresh water Aigurande crawfish - the noblest shellfish in French cuisine - served with a potato pancake. Then for dinner, a truffle omelette with a side of Saint-Nectaire cheese.
Word of the Day: adj. Schleckling - doing something in pairs. Eg. 'Oi, you two ruffians, stop schleckling about on street corners.'
Uses for... BMC: Babysitting and dry cleaning. Well, they seem prepared to do Garmin-Cervelo's dirty washing for them on the front of the peloton, even though their man Evans is yet to don the yellow jersey.
Peloton prattle: Which top speedster had a scare on Friday when he thought he'd "followed through" with a fart while riding ahead of a chap from - rather aptly - Liquigas.
Tweet of the Day: "Being operated on Monday morning to put plate in. My two dogs are also having their balls chopped off Wednesday morning. Hoping my drugs don't confuse me and end up at the wrong appointment." Bradley Wiggins
Stage 9 prediction: A large 12-man break to go early, including Anthony Charteau, Thomas Voeckler, David Moncoutie, half of the FDJ team, Johnny Hoogerland (to atone for Saturday's loss of the polka dots), Amets Txurruka, Geraint Thomas, Dimitry Murayev, Maxime Bouet and Matteo Bono. But on one of the later climbs (there are seven) Vino will attack again, win the stage and take the yellow.

text: Cancun Mexico,I have a friend who is going there in a few weeks, would some of you guys help me with telling him where to go to land some stuff. Are their any good vet shops or pharmacies in the area. from prior experiences could you guys tell me the best places to go that have a wide selection of goods at decent prices, also could you tell me their location in the Cancun area. I think he is mostly going to go after Anavar, Halostein and other orals, andmight try bringing back a few injectables as well. Any products you guys recommend. Thanks, your help in this area is appreciated.

No man can succeed in a country parish who seeks the loaves and fishes of the worldling.
Who can be a poet, and yet be a worldling in his passions and habits?
Saint and sinner, ascetic and worldling, united in its practice.
To the worldling, it is a theme of curiosity and idle speculation.
I will therefore be the richer by charitable laying out, while the worldling will be poorer by his covetous hoarding up.'
Almost all the life of a worldling's pleasure is in his hopes.
Fascinating beyond all men as he is, Moore looks like a worldling.
The love of the worldling is a small dog; that of the hermit is a lion.
What worldling on life's voyage does not know of some such harbour of rest and calm, some haven where he puts in out of the storm?
The worldling, you see, never understands that he is a worldling.

Holy cripes, springcurl that is beyond awesome. That is awesome infinity. If you don't get pictures of that day I will DIE. Absolutely DIE.
I'm going to a dog festival next week and I'm entering the owner/pet dress-alike contest. I'm wearing all my derby stuff and I have a little helmet and knee pads for Anabelle, too. (and skates, but she's just going to carry those over her shoulders, not wear them)
Every day I put the helmet on Anabelle so she can get used to it. then I give her a snack.

Managing Conflict, Conversations and Incivility in the Classroom and Beyond
Nov 22/13
Date: Nov 22/13
Time: 11:00 - 13:00
Location: BA305
Cost: Free
The Office of Conflict Resolution and Support aims to promote a culture free of harassment and discrimination to create an academic, learning and working environment that is respectful of all members of the university community. Working closely with other support services at the university - including Student Services, Counselling Services, Health Services and Human Resources - students, staff and faculty can develop and identify the most appropriate mechanism by which to resolve disputes.
This hands-on session is designed to explore causes of classroom and workplace conflict as well as effective methods for holding important conversations, creating accountability, and improving workplace culture. Through conversation, information sharing, and teaching and learning role-plays, participants will be able to recognize their own style of managing difficult situations and how one's individual approach impacts resolution efforts. Role-play situations may include: dealing with highly disruptive students in the classroom/lab/tutorial, matters of personal safety and security, aggressive student or faculty behaviour during office hours or meetings, power imbalances in student and faculty relationships, (e.g. faculty to chair, faculty to faculty, faculty to student, or student to student, etc) and so on.
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
- recognize, define and effectively manage conflict
- hold difficult conversations with greater confidence
- encourage dialogue, discourage triangulation
This session is open to faculty, academic staff, teaching assistants, graduate assistants, and post-doctoral fellows

This morning AT&T threw open the preorders for the Nokia Lumia 920, which is commanding a super-low $99 price tag on contract in addition to a limited offering of a free wireless charging pad.
What may be of interest to some is the fact that the off-contract, no commitment price (but yes, still locked to AT&T) is just $450. That's quite fascinating as most had expected the no-commitment price to be north of $599. That is what Best Buy (and eBay) had as the off-contract price and considering the technology on board the Lumia 920 it made sense. Even when some of us applied a 25% off coupon on the eBy preorder our price was knocked down to $450, which at the time seemed like a steal. (Best Buy is price matching AT&T, so keep that in mind if you ordered from them).
