Local culinary historian believes that a good recipe is like a good short story
Damon Lee Fowler rarely cooks from a recipe. Instead, he relies on his senses -- his eyes, his touch, his instincts. For experienced cooks, that's nothing new. Fowler says he knows one woman who can "hear" when her pound cake is done. But putting together a cookbook is another story. So when Fowler, who writes about food for the Savannah Morning News, was assembling his "New Southern Kitchen," editors from Simon and Schuster insisted he measure and quantify everything.Not easy."In the end they let me include things like a pinch of salt or ground black pepper to taste," he said.Still, you won't find him complaining."I mean, before every class I teach, I have to remind myself I'm getting paid to do this," he said. "I can still hardly believe how lucky I am."Though he's been cooking since he was 4 (when he climbed on a step-stool to make his first omelette), Fowler's professional life in the kitchen didn't start until nine years ago. He was 37. That's when he decided to leave a career in architecture. It was a profession that had been his dream "for as long as I could remember," he writes in the introduction to his cookbook.When he quit, Fowler, who earned his master's in architecture from Clemson University and is still licensed in three states, had a contract for his first cookbook, three months' salary in the bank and no idea how he would make a living.But he did know his way around a kitchen. And he did have nerve.Years earlier, when he was studying architecture in Italy -- and discovering Italian food for the first time -- he encountered the culinary writings of Marcella Hazan. A fan letter to Hazan turned into a friendship and some valuable direction about how to get published in the world of food.For Fowler this meant going back to his Southern roots and researching Antebellum recipes, which he then translated for modern kitchens. He called the book "Classical Southern Cooking, A Celebration of the Cuisine of the Old South."Gradually, Fowler was leaving his architecture historian ways behind, choosing instead to be a culinary historian.There are some similarities. Creating a recipe, he said, is not unlike making an architectural plan. Before they're actualized, they both exist in theory and on paper. They're concepts. A building doesn't become a building until the introduction of brick, stone, wood and glass. Same with a recipe.But that, said Fowler, is how many people regard his books -- as reading material, "the way one would cozy up with an Agatha Christie," he said, " not as a blueprint to cook anything."I could be insulted by that," Fowler said. "But I take it as a compliment. Just like I do when someone reads one of my books and says, 'Oh, I can do that.'"A good recipe is like a good short story, he says."You have to tell it well, without being condescending, without assuming the reader doesn't know anything."Recipes, he said, are considered folklore and cannot be copyrighted.

Scarlett was adopted out as a youngster by another rescue. She lived happily with her mom until a boyfriend entered the picture and Scarlett was told she could not stay. Her "mom" therefore gave Scarlett the boot and now our little miss Scarlett is looking for her actual forever home!
Scarlett is a complete love muffin and LOVES people! She would be perfect for a single person or young couple. She enjoys playing, but also likes to take naps on the couch. She is also a master kisser (Who wouldn't want kisses from that adorable underbite??).
Scarlett gets along with other dogs for the most part, but is what is called a resource guarder. She does not tolerate dogs around her toys, bones, food or even water bowl. Due to this, we think it would be much less stressful if she was the only dog in the household. She would be a perfect fit for anyone looking for a wagging tail to come home to.
Scarlett is about 4 years old, 50lbs, up-to-date on all vaccines and has been spayed & microchipped.
If you are interested in Scarlett, please contact us at email@example.com
Serving animals in an area of North Carolina where well over 30,000 dogs enter into the local shelters every year. Sadly, the vast majority don't stand a chance at life. Not only are they euthanized, but most suffer a horrific and inhumane death in antiquated, and many times not properly functioning, gas chambers.
"The Fort"-Fortitudine Vincimus Rescue Center, is a no kill, non-discriminatory rescue dedicated to alleviating the suffering of all dogs, in particular the American Pit Bull Terrier. This is an area where most dogs stand little to no chance of surviving once entering shelters, many of which have euthanasia rates of close to 90 percent. Entering the shelter, a Pit Bulls fate is all but sealed. Most local shelters refuse to allow them to be adopted and they are almost immediately euthanized more often than not.
We work with local shelters as well as many of the other foster based rescue groups in the area. We are currently in the process of trying to acquire a location, in order to help on a much larger scale by being the only rescue facility in an area that desperately needs help. We believe that every dog deserves a loving, caring home that will give them the best life possible, the life they deserve. We are avidly working towards improving the lives of all animals through education, promoting spaying and neutering to reduce overpopulation, thereby lowering shelters extremely high kill rates. Our focus is rescuing and adopting animals to loving homes that are looking to welcome a new member to the family. We believe in the humane treatment of all breeds and animals, no matter how large or small.

Just checking, can you pick up an Uber from CMH? I'm moving back to Cbus from Chicago and I know Uber has only recently been able to pick up from the airports whereas previously it wasn't approved
According to dollartimes.com,
$250.00 in 1969 had the same buying power as $1,665.67 in 2016
Annual inflation over this period was about 4.12%
So maybe you could get a better deal today?
And have to pee with the commoners? Are you fucking shitting me?
Thanks for all the advice! I asked for contact info and a picture of the tickets and the person never responded - so scam avoided I think!
Oh thank god!
Oooooh no my friend, that right there is a full-on Varsity Asshole if I've ever seen one
Matt, I spent a month in Ann Arbor this offseason and I gotta say, I really enjoyed coming home and reading these to help keep me sane. Thank you for the look back at a shit ton of history I never knew about, and Go Bucks!
Oh whoops sorry about that, Matt! Excellent work!
Can't believe I had to scroll so far down for this, this was by far one of the coolest plays in OSU history, if only because no one will ever do it again. Can't believe it wasn't mentioned in the article!
Wow been a looooong time since I've seen this
When they spelled out "YEA" what was that all about? Why did they stop doing that?
Absolutely this - we were playing great defense to hold them to 17 (almost 14) with as much as our D was actually on the field
Worst loss ever
OSU - Florida 2006 would like to have a word with you
Hah! My first thought was oh man there goes the security deposit but pretty sure you can elect to not worry about such things with NFL $$$
That's the kind of news I wouldn't even wish on a Michigan player, hopefully he gets back to the field someday
Those nutty nutty Michiganders! The one line though,
No doubt in my mind that he already has the next loophole lined up. Can't wait to see what comes next.
I don't doubt this. He's probably got a few more tricks up his sleeve.....and yeah I kind of want to see what he does too
This was my first thought as well - I mean does this apply to having Spring practice at outside locations as well? And if those are still allowed, couldn't you have a satellite camp there as well?
About the Natty run, I always loved how gung-ho you were about the undeniable fact that we were going to win it all, but I always wondered - did you ever have a point where you would sit back, read what you jotted down, and think "what the shit am I thinking?"

Parking at and around an airport tends to be extremely expensive, especially if you are parking at a busier airport like O'Hare. If you want to avoid spending a lot of money on parking, you will have to look at some potential solutions.
Below, you'll find some of your best options for O'Hare parking. Whether you need to park for a few hours or a few weeks, these suggestions will provide you with the solutions that you need.
Park At A Long-Term Lot
If you're going to be leaving your car for more than a day, you won't want to leave it at O'Hare. The prices are extremely high. In addition, the security isn't always want it should be. Cars left in the O'Hare parking garage are sometimes broken into.
Instead, you should leave your vehicle at one of the many long-term lots in the area. Some of these lots are a short ways away from the airport, but they are still a great place to store your car.
The biggest advantage that these lots offer is their pricing. You can pay by the day or by the week, and the rates for both options are quite low.
However, these lots also offer another perk: safety. These lots are difficult for people to enter, and are typically staffed at all times.
Naturally, there are some disadvantages to parking in a lot like this. The most obvious drawback is the distance to the airport. However, you can take a shuttle from the lot to the airport for a very low price. You may even be able to take a shuttle for free.
Always Compare Lot Rates
It's easy to get parking quotes online before you ever head to the airport. If you know that you're going to need parking, don't choose your lot at the last minute. Plan ahead and get quotes from several different lots. Find out which off-site lot offers the most affordable rates.
When you are looking at price quotes, check to see what they actually include. Some lots will charge additional fees when you come to pick your car up.
Reserve Your Parking In Advance
The people who own off-site parking lots want to make sure that they are going to be getting all of the business they need. Because of this, a number of lots will offer discounts to people that reserve parking spaces in advance.
Of course, there are several other benefits to reserving advance parking. When you pay and reserve your parking in advance, you'll be able to plan ahead. You'll be able to avoid common frustrations, like taking your car to a lot that is already full. Travelling can be stressful; reduce your stresses by choosing the right airport.
A lot of people have a hard time when it comes to parking at O'Hare. Some are shocked when they see the high costs of the parking garages. Others don't think about the high cost of parking until it is too late. The tips above can help you to park your car safely and cheaply.

I am a new JotForm user, on your Free Plan. I created my first form and set up a Thank-You page to direct to a custom URL on our website.

Cue Homer Simpson drooling (in French).
Created by Francois Payard, the macaronut is basically a macaron and a donut blended together into one deliciously divine treat.
Payard cooked up the tasty pastry in honor of Macaron Day (a holiday created by Payard himself), which takes place on March 20th each year. It's all about celebrating the macaron and also making an effort to help someone in need.
Participating bakeries in New York City will make a donation for every macaron purchased to City Harvest, an organization that aims to fight hunger in NYC.
The first macaronut flavor is strawberries and cream, and it looks downright yummy. Pick up your macaronut on March 20 at any of these NYC Payard bakeries.

Does this sound like you?
‣ I see the opportunities of growing my business through online platforms in China, but
there's just not enough information out there
‣ Hiring an agency is out of the question, they charge an exorbitant price and I'm not able
to invest that kind of money on a market I'm not sure of
‣ Hiring someone that just speaks Chinese doesn't solve the problem either, since most
don't know the online space or social media
‣ The web in China is changing so fast, advice I hear from just a few months ago either
contradict each other or is already out of date
‣ I don't know Chinese and am not that familiar with the Chinese culture, how do I even
know where to start?
This is what Chinese social media marketing can do for you:
‣ No more conflicting advice: get the most up to date and best practices that you can apply
to your business right away

‣ Close to 5 hours of video instruction
‣ 16+ downloadable materials, including slide decks to follow along the lectures, step-by-step guides, sample content guides
‣ Train yourself, and your team
‣ Learn at your own pace, you can take one week or one month to go through the
materials, it's up to you
‣ The modules are broken down in 5-10 minute sessions. They are clear, concise, and are
designed to help you put what you learn into practice right away

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Sometime late Sunday afternoon, as the sun is setting over Homestead-Miami Speedway, odds are one driver will be celebrating a win in Victory Lane and another the Sprint Cup championship on a stage at the start-finish line.
It's different than any other sport in which the winner of the final event is crowned the champion and the focus is all on that person or that team. It's almost an awkward situation when the race winner regrettably is made to feel like a second-class citizen.
Many in the media center can't wait for the race winner to get out of the way so they can get on to the champion's news conference.
Since the modern era of NASCAR began in 1972, with the exception of Jeff Gordon in 1998, that's the way it's been.
Two burnouts. Two celebrations.
Wouldn't it be nice, though, if we had one celebration Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway? Wouldn't it be nice if we could enjoy Jimmie Johnson's historic moment of an unprecedented fourth straight title without the interruption of a competing burnout?
Or if Johnson has a historic collapse and blows his 108-point lead over Mark Martin, wouldn't it be nice to enjoy Martin's becoming NASCAR's oldest champion at the age of 50 without sharing the moment?
Johnson doesn't plan to collapse. He doesn't plan to coast or be on the defensive, knowing all he has to do is finish 25th or better no matter what anybody else does.
Any doubt about his intentions were erased Friday when he slid the No. 48 car up the track, out of the line of maximum grip into the so-called "dirty stuff" that leaves less talented drivers in the wall, and laid down a pole-winning lap.
He admittedly crossed the line to get everything out of a car that was 21st in practice.
He didn't play it safe then. He won't play it safe Sunday.
"I guess we're not real smart," crew chief Chad Knaus said with a touch of sarcasm. "Every time we go to the racetrack we want to win. That's all there is to it.
"Whoever said you can't win them all, I completely disagree with that person. You can. The probability isn't very high, but the possibility is there every time you go to the track."
That's why Johnson and Knaus are in such rarefied air. They don't come to the track hoping to be a top-10 or top-5 team. They come to win and set a standard none in this sport has witnessed.
That neither they nor Hendrick Motorsports has won at Homestead-Miami Speedway drives them almost as much as the championship.
"I don't think that we have had this track under control as a company," Johnson said. "I feel that we've been close, but Hendrick Motorsports has not won here yet. We hope to change that on Sunday."
The last -- and only -- time in the modern era the driver that won the last race won the championship was Gordon at Atlanta Motor Speedway in 1998. Since the Chase began in 2004, the best finish by the season champion was fifth by Kurt Busch in the inaugural year.
Johnson has finished ninth, seventh and 15th the past three years.
It would be nice to see everything in one neat package and tied with a bow.
"There's a window in which I'm willing to take a risk," Johnson said. "You know, if I'm driving to the edge of the car, I know that I can slide it around a little bit more, I'll take that.
"If it's gonna give me seventh I'm going to take it. If I can slide the car around a little bit and be within my comfort zone, have a shot at winning the race, I'm gonna take it. There's no doubt about it."
Johnson rightfully plans to take the same approach he did last weekend at Phoenix, where he led the most laps and won a week after losing 111 points when he fell victim to a Sam Hornish Jr. wreck on Lap 3 at Texas.
Johnson dominated.
He demoralized the competition.
He did the same thing Friday with his qualifying lap that gave him the pole and first choice of pit box.
"We've got a great driver, a guy that doesn't give up easy," Knaus said. "With the way we were running around [before qualifying] he could have given up. We were a half-second off as soon as we unloaded and we stayed off until the final practice was over.
There's a window in which I'm willing to take a risk. You know, if I'm driving to the edge of the car, I know that I can slide it around a little bit more, I'll take that.
"-- Jimmie Johnson
"It's just not in his makeup [to give up]. It's pretty fantastic. A big statement by him."
Deep down, Johnson wants to make the ultimate statement by clinching the title with a win. It would be akin to what Knaus called the perfect weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway, where they topped the speed chart in every practice, led the most laps and won the race.
Getting caught up in another driver's mistake shouldn't be an issue. As Marcos Ambrose, who will start third, said, "Jimmie Johnson has a halo bar around his car."
"I know that I don't want to be the guy that ruins his chances," he said. "I will be following him into Turn 1 with a safe distance behind him -- kind of like the Interstate rule."
Johnson plans to keep the competition behind him all day. He wants to ride into the record books in a way that will make Sunday memorable not only for him, but for the entire sport.
He knows no other way. When asked earlier in the week what else matters to him in life outside of racing, he spent almost the entire time talking about racing.
"Racing's it," he said. "It's all I've ever done. I'm glad it's worked out because I don't know what the hell I'd be doing otherwise. I'm finally good at it, and I want to keep it up. I want to keep it going."
He wants to win. Not just four championships. You get the feeling he won't be happy until he surpasses Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt with seven each. You get the feeling he won't stop there.
You get the feeling he can do it.
The best way to do that is win races.
The best way to end this historic march would be to win Sunday, to give us one of those John Elway moments when he was the total focus after finally winning a Super Bowl.
"Every year. Every year," Knaus said when asked if he's pictured such a moment. "I'd love to be the only one doing burnouts after the race."
Wouldn't that be nice?

With a client roster chock full of royalty, landed gentry and minted entrepreneurs, Farrer excels at private client and family work – but an ever-growing commercial offering shows this firm's got a few more cards up its finely tailored sleeve.
Get Farrer
Farrer's gilded reputation for handling the legal needs of the uber wealthy drew trainees to its stately 17th century residence, situated in Lincoln's Inn. "The firm is incomparably high-class when it comes to private client and family work," said one, adding: "It's a nice world, and I wanted to be a part of it." And while money can buy the high life, it can also come with a long list of headache-inducing issues, from messy divorces to complicated prenups to intricate tax plans and estate management quandaries. This is where Farrer confidently steps in, safe in the knowledge that its 226-year heritage will see it through even the most novel of needs posed by its exclusive clientele. Its sturdy base of ultra high net worth individuals helps to bag the firm high Chambers UK marks for its private client, family, contentious trusts and rural affairs practices.
But the story doesn't end there. As training principal Paul Krafft tells us: "We're traditionally known for private client matters but we do a lot of work for non-private clients too. Our work base is broad and we want to appeal to – and do well for – all types of clients." Farrer's commercial arm, for one, isn't to be underestimated. Krafft explains: "The four areas we're broadly divided into – private client, commercial, disputes and property – used to be pretty much equal in size, but commercial is now the biggest." The corporate group, for example, works for the likes of British clothing retailer Boden, mining company GB Minerals and dim sum experts Ping Pong; lawyers recently advised the latter on the £8 million sale of Ping Pong Holdings to LA-based investment fund Vert Capital. Yet high rankings in areas like charities, education and publishing also reveal the scope of Farrer's client base, which includes Save the Children, Eton College and the Telegraph Media Group.
Farrer's future, Krafft adds, revolves around a plan "to slowly and gently expand each area of our work. Over the past five years banking, contentious trusts and residential property have perhaps grown the most, but it's been fairly incremental. We're not planning any huge takeovers, we just want to grow in all areas at a sensible pace." The firm's three-year strategy – launched in 2015 – revealed Farrer's intentions to become a leading name in the child protection space, as well as its desire to unite teams on common matters; the charities and financial services groups are set to work on more charity bond issues, for instance.
Love will tear us apart
The variety or practice areas coupled with a six-seat structure to sample them with was a major draw for our interviewees. Trainees have to complete a seat in each of the property (commercial, residential or estates), private client (onshore, international or tax), contentious (disputes, media or family) and commercial departments (corporate, banking and financial services, charity and community, employment or IP and commercial), plus another in one of those departments. Their sixth seat is usually a repeat stint in the department they hope to qualify into. "They were really flexible and whenever I expressed an interest they told me, 'Yes, of course,'" one source said of the grad recruitment team's efforts. Another clarified: "You're supposed to get at least two of your top choices guaranteed but it's not always the case." Nevertheless, even those who didn't always get what they wanted agreed that "HR did a really good job with my selection of seats and I enjoyed the ones I hadn't chosen myself."
"... involved art that had been confiscated by the Nazis."
Divorce cases involving children, substantial assets and/or international domiciles are bound to be tricky, but Farrer's family team deals with it all, along with prenuptial agreements (at the earlier and more hopeful stage of matrimony). "The clients are really interesting and there are loads of challenging issues to get your head around. You take on responsibility early, by interacting directly with clients both in meetings and in court. By the end of the seat I was drafting complex financial disclosure documents." This is a contentious seat of course, and interviewees felt the pressure of "tighter deadlines and unpredictable twists. We all have to muck in and do the best for our clients." Some thrived on how "upbeat" and fast-paced the department was, and were evidently thrilled to be "working alongside lawyers at the top of their game." Others weren't quite feeling it as much: "Because the area of law is more personal and emotional, the contrast with something like financial services can be jarring. I preferred the cold clarity of finance." A recent highlight saw the team successfully represent Yasmin Prest – the former wife of ex-oil tycoon Michael Prest – in a high-profile case which took place in the Court of Appeal; it centred on Michael Prest's appeal against his suspended prison sentence for not paying £360,000 in maintenance, and the overall matter value was a mighty £37.5 million.
"I helped to sell a castle."
Farrer receives a gleaming top-tier Chambers UK ranking for its charities expertise. The team advises household names like Age UK, as well as private donors, and educational and religious charities. "Some of the work is corporate-focused, and some of it is advisory," sources reflected. "So on the corporate side you might be dealing with the Charity Commission, attending meetings, and drafting board minutes. Advisory work, meanwhile, can cover so many issues. You might, for instance, be advising a charity on whether they can hire someone to replace a window when one of their trustees has a stake in the window company. I'd recommend it to anyone." Trainees also found that they had a lot of contact with school governors and charity trustees throughput the seat. While we can't go into the specifics of the matters here (it's all very hush-hush), we can give you a taste of the well-known clients that come knocking here: The National Gallery, the V&A, BAFTA, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Tony Blair Faith Foundation.
The property department is made up of separate commercial, residential, and rural property sub-teams. This last group works for Prince Charles's estate, the Duchy of Cornwall, and they recently advised it on the planning of a new 'urban community' in Dorchester dubbed the Poundbury Development. On this team one source helped to "sell a castle, which was so fascinating. I'm still hoping for a site visit! It's cool because we deal with historic properties and make them relevant for the future." On the commercial side the firm specialises in mid-market transactions and "the clientele varies from private individuals to institutions and charities, which all need to be approached differently." Responsibility comes in droves: "I worked on a matter involving a big central London property and did everything: I managed the process all the way through, drafted documents and negotiated with the other side." Meanwhile, the residential sub-team deals with high-value property transactions on behalf of investors, banks and ultra high net worth individuals. Lawyers recently acted for residential developer Hub Group during its £100 million acquisition of a building in Wembley, which will be turned into a mixed-use development comprising shops, offices and homes. Across all three groups trainees get to run their own files with supervision.
"It's not a firm that wants to take over your life."
As you might expect, Farrer's 17th century office has some "very ornate and traditional" interiors, including "several beautiful paintings and fireplaces." Interviewees drew our attention to "the incredible Peacock Room, which is where the Charter of the Bank of England was originally signed." It's not all period decor and pomp, though; much of the actual office space is modern and open-plan. Plus the firm also occupies a modern building nearby if trainees crave a more 21st century retreat. All interviewees appreciated the location: "In summer it's brilliant because you've got Lincoln's Inn Fields just outside, so we all go and eat together, but in winter it's trickier to do that as we don't really have a communal space inside." However, a monthly 'social lunch' should help to see them through those inclement winter months. "Every Friday, chefs from a café or a restaurant come in and prepare a meal for us, with a different theme every time. They set up a few tables and people can sit with whoever and have a chat."
When they're not sitting to enjoy a bespoke meal, each trainee sits in a pod with their supervisor: "There's a decent level of privacy, so you can have a conversation without raising your voice, but at the same time you can hear the lawyers around you and learn from how they talk and what they say." As one noted: "You're expected to work hard, but the support around you is huge." On average, trainees tend to leave the office between 6pm and 7pm. We heard that "the family team is very busy and often requires trainees to stay a bit later, until 7.30pm." But sources quickly pointed out that "compared to many other London firms, that's not late at all."
Farrer from the madding crowd
A later night is to be expected when the firm's Christmas do comes around; it's famous for its trainee revue, which sees Farrer's fledglings write and perform "our own satirical play, which essentially takes the piss out of partners in a playful, affectionate way." Sounds priceless. With that in mind, it came as no surprise to hear that Farrer "has a lot of character, and not a very strong sense of hierarchy." One incredulous source enthused: "You hear a lot about firms having a 'human face' – every firm says that it does. I didn't want to believe Farrer was all it maintained to be in its marketing, but it really is. Everyone looks out for you and has the time of day for you. On top of that, it's not a firm that wants to take over your life." In fact, the sociable hours left sources wanting more face time with their colleagues: the current crop of trainees plan a weekend trip together once a year; they told us they'd already enjoyed the sights of Salisbury, and were organising an upcoming jaunt to the Isle of Wight. Room is made for lawyers of all levels to enjoy the fun, with one recent departmental outing involving "an Alice in Wonderland-themed tea party at a really posh hotel."
At the same time, trainees did flag Farrer's fight against a reputation for stuffiness and lack of diversity. They felt it was fuelled by the firm's age (it's been around since 1790) and the type of work and clients it has. While they disputed the stuffy label, sources did feel some work could be done on the diversity front, although we note that all three partners promoted in 2015 and half of the six made up in 2016 were women. Sources also agreed that their cohort wasn't as "Oxbridge-heavy" as they had expected, and noted a propensity to hire "people with strong interests outside the law." That, and some background experience beyond the realms of university. "Someone was a major in the army and went to Afghanistan twice, while another guy wrote policies for the Conservatives; there's also an ex-family lawyer from America, a professional dancer and an ex-footballer. It's more about bringing in outgoing 'people people', who can muck in and bring something different to the table." Could it be you?
When it comes to qualification trainees have a chat with the training principal in their fifth seat, and by the time they start their final one they will know if they have a job. Seven out of ten qualifiers stayed on in 2016.
How to get into Farrer & Co
Vacation scheme deadline: 31 January 2017
Training contract deadline: 31 July 2017
Applications and interviews
Both those applying for the vac scheme and those applying directly for a training contract are asked to answer a set of questions and send a cover letter.
Trainee recruitment consultant Donna Davies tells us the content and structure of the covering letter play an important part in the assessment process. "Ideally we want the letter to be well constructed, matching their skills to our specific requirement and outlining what attracts them to our practice areas and training programme." From here, the top 100 vac scheme applicants who impress are invited to an open day that involves a Q&A and group and written exercises.
Meanwhile, the lucky 40 training contract applicants who make it through the first round are invited to an interview with a partner, which generally lasts between an hour and a half and two hours. Instead of facing set questions, interviewees "are really allowed to run with it," Davies tells us. Current trainees recalled the experience as "interesting and free-flowing," with one telling us "it felt like they were really trying to get to know me and were prepared to challenge me on certain points to see if I could back up my opinions."
Around 30 go on to a second interview, which takes place with two partners. Candidates are given a brief scenario on arrival and asked a few questions on that, before moving on to a more general discussion about their application. The case study portion usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes, while the rest is an hour to an hour and a half.
Vacation scheme
Farrer holds three two-week vacation schemes across Easter and summer, taking on ten candidates at a time. Each vac schemer is assigned a trainee buddy and sits with a different team each week. Our sources recalled that they'd been treated "just like trainees," having drafted board minutes, conducted research and been taken to client meetings. Alongside such tasks, vac schemers are given a case study to work on over the course of their visit. This exercise culminates in them pitching for fictitious clients.
To make the most of their vac scheme, Davies advises candidates to "show a real interest in the firm and your desire to work here. At the same time, remember that it's also a chance for you to find out about us."
Completing the vac scheme doesn't automatically entitle candidates to a training contract interview, but those who are granted one skip straight to the second interview round, as outlined above.
How to wow
The firm asks for a minimum 2:1 degree and 300 UCAS points. Beyond that, "work experience – casual work, informal shadowing or a vacation scheme – is valued as it's a good way to demonstrate general commercial awareness," according to Davies.
Given the firm's abundance of private client work, as well as family and employment law, "applicants need to have a certain sensitivity and be sympathetic towards individuals," partner Jonathan Eley points out. "Our clients expect confidentiality and discretion at all times, so candidates who recognise the importance of that will certainly get a tick in the box."
Interview with training principal Paul Krafft
Student Guide: Would you be able to break down the firm's practice areas in terms of headcount?
Paul Krafft: Broadly, there are four areas: private client, commercial, disputes and property. And size-wise, I think they used to be pretty much equally sized, a quarter each. Now I think corporate is bigger, then disputes is second, and property and private client are the same. In terms of percentages, I would say that commercial is in the low 30s to, disputes in the low 20s, and then there's a balanced split between property and private client with those two adding up to 40%.
PK: What areas of the practice are growing, shrinking or changing?
SG: The general plan is to expand each area slowly or gently. What's grown the most over five years? I'd say banking, our contentious trusts practice and residential property, but it's fairly incremental.
PK: Does the firm intentionally play up its work for 'nicer' clients, such as charities, and play down the work it does for private wealth clients, partly for confidentiality reasons?
SG: No, there's no particular emphasis on any particular clients; we treat all clients the same. We're traditionally more known for private client work but we do work for non-private clients – our work base is so broad and we want to appeal to all types of clients.
PK: What's your strategy for the future?
SG: I think it's more of the same really. We think we work right at the top end in a number of quite diverse areas and we want to keep doing that. We're not planning any huge takeovers or anything. We're going for growth in all areas, but at a sensible pace.
PK: Farrer has a reputation as quite a traditional firm? Do you actively try to dispel any notion that the firm is old-fashioned, or do you just get on with it and let the culture speak for itself?
SG: I suppose we do do that a little, but in the sense that we try to market ourselves as a modern firm with traditional roots. That is perhaps trying to dispel the image you mentioned a little. A lot of it is more that once people get to know us they don't think that applies.

Fishing is a skill and practice is the best way to get better.
The mechanics of fishing in FFXI are to type /fish into the command bar while you are at a fishing spot and have a fishing rod and bait or lure equipped. Casting the bait or lure into the water will not guarantee you a fish will hook the line. Certain fish are only found in certain areas and will only go after a select few types of bait and normally each fish has a specific preference it will go after more than anything else.
Once something has hooked your line you have to fight the fishes stamina until it's weak enough to reel in. The fish's stamina bar is located just above your own in the bottom right of the game screen.the way to fight the fish is to watch the rod movements. when the rod moves to the right, use the character's movement key in the opposite direction and vice versa for when the rod is to the left. If the rod is standing straight up in the air, don't be pushing any buttons at all. Once the catches stamina reaches empty hit your enter key to reel the thing in. At this point the thing on the line will be identified as either an item or a fish or in some cases a monster with will automatically aggro you and set claimed by you. It's necessary to defeat any monsters you fish up as they will interrupt any further casts you make if they hit you while alive.
Several resources exist to assist you in fishing so I would check out the FFXI wikipedia as well as Kida's Fishing Database for further information.

Ready to give up
Good morning ladies, how are all of you today? I just want to share with you all and maybe get some feedback. Friday night Feb 3 marked the start to the best 4 days of my life! I have always wanted to be a "girl" in public but was always self conscious about my appearance. So on Friday night I took myself out to a local spa and got my eyebrows waxed to a borderline female style, next was to head home and start some serious hair removal. I always have a goatee, that went. I normally have very thick chest hair, HELLO NAIR

Best Recipe To Make Cookie Bouquet
Baking By veronicarueda77 Updated 4 Apr 2008 , 2:04am by Happybug98
Hi everyone,
I was wondering which is your best cookie recipe for cookie bouquets. I read a lot about NFSC, but what about other types of cookies for cookie bouquets.
Help a newbie.
I definitely prefer a shortbread recipe. These cookies stay fresh a lot longer and are still light and melt in your mouth.
I really think NFSC is the way to go...give it a tray and see if you like it! I tweak my flavorings a bit and use roled buttercream for the icing- I have many loyal fans!!
NFSC all the way.
I like this recipe from allrecipes the best.
I tried NFSC and they look great but I don't care for the taste at all.
Either NFSC or Penny's and I use the rolled buttercream. Mmmmm
I agree NFSC all the way. You can alter the basic recipe and make it taste like almost anything that you need. It is easy to work with and the cookie does not lose its shape while cooking.

LOWER POTTSGROVE Ś The Montgomery County Commissioners will hold the last of six ōConversations with your Commissionersö Monday in the township.
The town hall is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Lower Pottsgrove Township Building, 2199 Buchert Road.
Previously, the commissioners held town halls in Norristown, Ardmore, Ambler and East Greenville.
ōThese conversations with the commissioners are another in a series of ways we are trying to keep residents informed about what we are doing,ö said Josh Shapiro, chair of the commissioners.
ōWe live stream our meetings on line and use social media a great deal to inform everyone about what is going on in the county. ōWe urge residents to attend these conversations so they can hear what we have tried to do during our first two years in office, and we can hear what issues are most important to them,ö Shapiro said.

In an era where options are plenty, be it mobile phones, electronic gadgets, cars or homes, there are enough options available for financing them too which help us fulfill our needs and desires. And in our quest to have a lifestyle that is far beyond the typical roti, kapda and makaan of the days gone by, we end up availing of all possible financing options by leveraging our income, but only to find ourselves completely overburdened by monthly installment payments on loans, many of them running simultaneously.
It is important, here, to understand that the nature, the terms and conditions of each of these loans would be quite different from one another. While a home loan with a tenure of 20 years can be availed at a rate of 10-11 per cent (depending on when it has been availed), a car loan with a term of five years at 12 per cent or more and credit card outstanding at an exorbitant 42 per cent per annum. Having already become a victim of these financial transactions, it is important that we now apply some prudence and see how to manage it best.
The solution lies in the concept of debt consolidation. In simple words 'debt consolidation' means replacing multiple loans with a single loan, often with a benefit in terms of reduced monthly payments. Irrespective of money market conditions, debt consolidation has always been considered as one of the best options to help you manage your finances better.
Easily understood through an example, let us consider Rajesh, an average retail consumer like you and me, aged 30, with a family of three. He is a salaried individual with a net monthly income of Rs 90,000 per month. Rajesh's current loans are as follows:
Left with less than Rs 30,000 to take care of his entire monthly expenses including his child's fees, he lives in a tight budget throughout the month. What will he do in case of an emergency other than praying for a miracle to help him tide over the crisis? Alternatively, he can follow the simple steps laid down below:
Step 1 – Rajesh moves his home loan outstanding of Rs 30 lakhs to a different Bank (Balance Transfer) under the current prevailing interest rate of 9.40 per cent with an option to reduce his EMI.
Step 2 – Rajesh takes a top-up of Rs 9 lakhs @ 10 per cent for 17 years on the transferred home loan (assuming the market value of his property has appreciated enough) – to pay off the car loan (assumed nil foreclosure charges), personal loan (assumed nil foreclosure charges) and the credit card outstanding where he is servicing a much higher rate of interest.
Let's now look at a comparison of Rajesh's new financial position post-consolidation of his debt.
So, as seen from the above 2 tables, Rajesh has now:
1. Reduced his monthly outgo by Rs 21,365
2. Increased his net monthly disposable income to Rs 51,302 from Rs 29,937
3. Freed his car of any hypothecation
However, on the flip side:
1.He has now mortgaged his house for Rs 39 lakhs instead of the earlier Rs 30 lakhs
2.Will probably spend anywhere between Rs 20,000-30,000 (equal to a month's savings by consolidating his debt) to get the balance transfer of his current housing loan
3. The Rs 9 lakhs top-up will now be serviced over 17 years as against 5 years and 3 years earlier.
Finally, the choice lies with us. Debt consolidation may just be the answer to ensuring stress-free month-ends and increasing the disposable income in our hands.

Court Battle Over Privacy In Chat Rooms / Net groups try to stop companies that want identities of detractors
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, February 8, 2001
Internet privacy advocates are asking a federal court in San Jose to preserve the right to denounce businesses anonymously online.
The forum in dispute is an electronic chat room, one of many created by Internet service providers to let subscribers vent their feelings about a particular business without giving their names.
The chat rooms have been met by a flock of subpoenas from the targeted companies or their executives, asking ISPs for the identities of the people who posted allegedly false or confidential information. The result, according to privacy groups in the latest court action, has been to stifle free speech in one of its oldest forms -- anonymous criticism.
"Anonymous speech has been protected in this country since the writing of the Federalist Papers," said Lauren Gelman, director of public policy for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco-based civil liberties organization. "If the courts do not step in to protect this cherished right in cyberspace, we will lose it."
The foundation, joined by a group called the Liberty Project, filed papers this week on behalf of two people who posted messages on a Yahoo.com message board devoted to Rural/Metro, an Arizona-based provider of contract firefighting and ambulance services. Other publicly traded companies have similar chat rooms, open to all subscribers.
Rural/Metro had subpoenaed Yahoo Inc. for the subscribers' names in December, saying they may be current or former employees whose messages contained grounds for legal action.
"We do not see this as a First Amendment case," Francis Torrance, a lawyer for Rural/Metro, said this week. "It's a case about people making false statements and leaking confidential information on these bulletin boards."
He did not identify any particular messages. Postings made available by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, under pseudonyms, questioned the firm's finances and the character of its top executive and urged opposition to its directors.
The privacy groups want a federal judge to reject the subpoenas and set strict standards that protect anonymity unless the company shows that particular messages are potentially libelous or contain other grounds for a lawsuit. In this case, the groups said, Rural/Metro sought the subpoenas without referring to the content of any message, or showing how any of the postings could justify a suit.
The fact that the company sued in Northern California, where the only connection to its claims is the location of the ISP, "suggests that Rural/Metro's true goal . . . was simply to expose the identities of (the writers) and to coerce them into silence," the lawyers wrote in challenging the subpoenas.
"If somebody has done something illegal, you should be able to get their name," Gelman said. "You don't have a right to libel anonymously."
She said such a standard should allow redress for victims of anonymous online attacks like one alleged in a recent Hollister case. When anonymous Web pages linked the town's weekly newspaper to lesbian pornography sites and called a columnist a child molester, the paper's editors traced the site to a former city councilman by using a subpoena to obtain records from Santa-Clara based Yahoo.
There was no immediate comment from Yahoo on the case.
