All quotes by Art Alexakis
(3 quotes found)
"Our album is bucking the trend, because you have so many bands that come out doing really well and then disappear. But we've been a rock band and done it the old-fashioned way. We've been around and had four hit singles off one record. We keep doing this slow incline."
"One of the things that we have going for us is that 'I'm kind of an old-fashioned singer-songwriter in a really hard rock band.' There haven't been too many combinations of that that really worked. We make good albums with good singles that appeal to a mass audience."

"Once upon a time..."
Do those words call up an image for you? ...A fantasy, perhaps, of a fairy tale princess who ends up with a handsome prince? If so, you're not alone. Most of us as children heard fairy tales from our parents. We saw the movies. We read the books. Those stories all had lessons, some more obvious, and some quite subtle. As children, we had our own unique ways of interpreting what these lessons meant to us.
Well, we're adults now,… (more)

Jimmy Phillips has targeted the Serious Cricket Home Counties Premier League title after being elected as the new Banbury captain.
The 29-year-old off-spinner succeeds Ian Hawtin, who retired from the game at the end of last season after four years as skipper.
Phillips was vice-captain to both Hawtin and his predecessor, Benji Hector.
During that time he had numerous chances to lead the side, which he feels will stand him in good stead to take over at the helm.
"I am really pleased," said Phillips, who will have new Oxfordshire skipper Luke Ryan as his vice-captain.
"I feel personally it is something I have been building towards for a long while.
"I have been really lucky to play under Benji and Ian.
"They were two very different captains, but very effective in their own way.
"They had two second-place finishes and a couple of Oxfordshire Cups as well.
"They were both successful and there were plenty of opportunities to learn from them as well, and now I want to go one better in terms of winning the league."
Phillips expects Banbury – who were last champions in the league's first season in 2000 – to have a similar side to the one which finished runners-up to High Wycombe last season.
But in a bid to bridge the gap they have recruited Paul Atkins, the former Surrey batsman, who has played for Tring Park and Chearsley in recent seasons, as club coach.
Phillips believes Atkins, who will also be joint captain with Andrew Sabin of the 2nd XI where it is hoped he will bring on the club's emerging players, will have a major influence on the 1st XI.
He said: "That is a decision we have taken instead of spending money on an overseas cricketer.
"I think that is going to benefit us in terms of having professional training sessions and preparing for the games.
"We need an extra five per cent to win the league and that's what we hope he can give us."
Reflecting on last year's battle to catch High Wycombe, Phillips added: "They had a fair-sized cushion.
"When we beat them at Banbury we gave ourselves half a chance, but it got too big from the very strong start they had.
"We played some good cricket to win games and we drew two where sides were nine down and one where they were eight down, so in some ways we were not that far away."
Phillips took 37 wickets last year and his combination with Ryan, who picked up 46 wickets with his left-arm spin, was pivotal to Banbury's strong season.
"We are obviously lucky to have Luke at Banbury," added Phillips.
"In my opinion he is probably the most unlucky cricketer I have played with in terms of not making it as a pro because he has such a professional attitude and because of his ability."
On the batting front, Nathan Hawkes, who is currently in Melbourne, was Banbury's leading run-scorer last term with 667 runs and Phillips expects him to be to the fore again.

Mass Effect 2 - Just the Facts, Man
Mass Effect 2 Exec Producer Casey Hudson has posted a new entry at their IGN blog titled Just the Facts, Man. The piece explains and illuminates the various E3 previews with more detail:
So… they basically just spoiled one of the endings, yes?
Lowlier games like Fallout 3 will be envious!
Apart from the spoilers, good read.
Perhaps it wasn't an ending. Uploading your personality into a computer for backup purposes is a standard new space-opera trope. (Come to think of it, I wonder why nobody's yet used it in a cRPG -- it'd be a neat in-game way to handle death.)
If you count System Shock 2, it did that, IIRC.
Presumably they've locked in Shepard as the protagonist for #3 but if he dies in #2, the consequence is you lose your ability to load the save and have the same looks etc carry over, I suppose.
As for spoilers, this material is the cornerstone of their E3 push, so it's widespread public knowledge.
Mass Effect 3 - The Search for Shepherd (but only on applicable saves)
That's… strange. So you would kind of die in ME2, but not really and then in ME3 - deus ex machina! - Shepard is alive? If this is the case, then it sounds as if the "death" ending would mean that you completed the game, but partially "failed" and that in ME3 you lose the
I must say that I don't like developers revealing too much about a game - they had a huge critical success with ME1 - so I hardly think they need to worry about luring people back for ME2? Also, why are they so wedded to Shephard (or whatever his name is)? Why must ME2 (And ME3) continue to be *his* story? Given previous comments about how 'well developed' the ME universe was, I'm sure there are many other new (fresher) characters that it would be interesting to explore/experience.

Gertrud & Cope
James Coplien
Date: 16-17 December, 2013
Location: Amersfoort, Netherlands
Regular Price: 1,595€ per student plus VAY
This unique Product Owner certification course teaches you the basics of running a project using Scrum. You'll learn that You're the Boss, and that you're in command — yet your team is in control. You'll learn the balance of power and governance between the Product Owner, the Team, and the ScrumMaster that make Scrum an effective framework for achieving business goals.
Because You're the Boss, you build this course yourself from a product backlog that's already been estimated by the team (the course instructor). You'll learn right away the importance of choosing must-haves for the market, of honoring dependencies between Product Backlog Items (PBIs), and of getting the most value for your time — all in the first half hour! How it proceeds from there is your choice. Choose from topics in areas such as:
See the Agenda (select the Agenda tab above) for more information.
We'll also go in-depth to cover User Stories, traditional requirements, features, Use Cases, and issues, and their strengths and weaknesses as PBIs. We'll take a broad, all-encompassing look at ROI, and look at Agile Contracts: change for free and money for nothing!
Though each CSPO course varies depending on the instructor, all Certified Scrum Product Owner® courses focus on Scrum from a product owner's perspective. Graduates will receive the CSPO designation. All CSPO courses are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers.
Venue:SogetiVan De Valk HotelAmersfoort, 3824 MX NetherlandsGet Directions
This course will be hosted by our partner in the Netherlands, Sogeti, and co-trained by Julya Berkel.
The agenda will be chosen by the class from the following items (* = required for certification):
Current Product Owners who want to refine their skills, or prospective Product Owners who want to learn the ropes. Business personnel and managers may want to attend to gain a business perspective on Scrum.

Name's not the same? Not to worry. Maybe.
Jesse Demastrie and his wife flew from Washington to Las Vegas without incident the day after Christmas. TSA agents waved them through the screening area, and United Airlines allowed the couple to board the aircraft.
But Demastrie had been worried that they might be turned away from their flight. When his father booked their tickets through Travelocity as a gift, he typed his daughter-in-law's name as Dianne Elizabeth Demastrie instead of her legal name, Dianne Tharp Demastrie.
"I called both Travelocity and United to see if we could get the ticket changed," said Demastrie, a media buyer from Washington. "But the best they said they could do was to make a note on the account of the name change."
Small discrepancies between the name on a ticket and a passenger's driver's license or passport used to be shrugged off by airlines and airport screeners. But under the Transportation Security Administration's Secure Flight program, the name on a ticket and on an ID must match exactly. If they don't, you could be delayed or prevented from flying. It turns out that there's some wiggle room for errors, though, which isn't always disclosed to air travelers. More on that in a minute.
Airlines sometimes offer to make an electronic notation on an airline reservation that contains a minor error, but they can't guarantee that it will work. The only way to be 100 percent sure, they'll frequently say, is to buy a new ticket with the correct name. In some cases, they'll offer to change the name for a fee. Demastrie was so worried that he bought a fully refundable ticket on another airline, just in case United told his wife that she couldn't fly.
No question, Secure Flight is an opportunity for airlines to make even more money. The airline industry just wrapped up its most profitable year in a decade, in large part by charging so-called "ancillary" fees, such as change fees. United Airlines collected $243 million in cancellation and change fees during the first three quarters of 2010, and domestic airlines as a whole collected $1.7 billion, already surpassing the figure for all of 2009.
Are airlines exploiting the TSA's stricter name-matching requirements to squeeze even more money out of us?
No, says the industry. Delta Air Lines, which collected the most cancellation and change fees ($533 million in the first nine months of 2010), is promising to work with customers to fix name errors instead of sticking them with a change fee or telling them to buy a new ticket. "It's handled on a case-by-case basis," says airline spokeswoman Susan Elliott. "It depends on how significant the change is that they're requesting."
Typically, airlines will correct small errors, such as changing a letter or two, without any questions or surcharges. Beyond that, it's often up to the reservations agent or your travel agent to decide how to solve the problem. And that's where things get a little murky.
"If a Travelocity customer catches a mistake in their name within 24 hours of booking, we will cancel their ticket and reissue" it, says Travelocity spokesman Joel Frey. "Beyond that 24-hour window, it really comes down to the airline's flexibility on a case-by-case basis."
Frey says that travel agencies would welcome new policies that might allow "reasonable" exceptions and that Travelocity is "encouraging our airline partners to explore the possibilities."
After the one-day window closes, the next best option is a notation in your reservation, which is no assurance that you'll be able to board. Passengers who want a sure thing often find themselves thinking that they have only one choice: to buy a new ticket.

Ubuntu Patch Pilot Program Underway
Program aims to guide new developers through the Ubuntu packaging waters.
The the new Patch Pilot Program takes a page from the Bazaar Team program of the same name. "Pilot" is used in the sense of a mariner who is guiding a ship, and in this program, Patch Pilots (Ubuntu Developers) will help guide new developers through contributing patches and also ensure that those patches are reviewed in a timely manner. Both Jono Bacon, Ubuntu Community Manager, and Daniel Holbach, Ubuntu Developer Relations, discussed the new program in posts yesterday.
"Any contribution to Ubuntu is a gift and we should treat it as such and review it in a timely and encouraging manner," Bacon says.
Some of the key things Patch Pilots will be doing include making the new developer feel welcomed and that their time and work are valued, help them establish the right contact(s) for the work they are doing, communicate clearly on what needs improved in the patch, confirm that pilots are clear about why and how they fixed a patch, as well as speak up if any part of the review tools or processes needs improvement.
In his post, Holbach provides links to the Patch Pilot Schedule, Stats on How the Program is Doing, Patches and Merge Proposals and More help, review tips and everything else.

The International Syriac Language Project (ISLP)
The ISLP first met in Cambridge 2002 and published its first volume of papers in its own series, Perspectives on Syriac Linguistics (PoSL). To reflect the widening scope of the project, the series is now named Perspectives on Linguistics and Ancient Languages (PLAL). Terry Falla was Series Editor and Beryl Turner was Managing Editor until 2014. The series is now edited by Wido van Peursen (Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam) and Michael Theophilos (Australian Catholic University, Melbourne), and the annual conferences are coordinated by Richard Taylor (Dallas Theological Seminary). The ISLP group includes an Editorial Board and a Computational Lexicography Group.
The aim of the ISLP is to further the knowledge of ancient-language lexicography (Syriac, Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek and other languages) by:
- exploring pertinent theoretical and applied issues in research papers;
- inviting and presenting papers for discussion at international conferences; e.g., IOSOT, SBL Annual and International Meetings, Saint Ephrem Ecumenical Research Institute (SEERI), Symposium Syriacum, and occasionally at a conference such as the one at the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, Russian Academy of Science, in St Petersburg in 2014 organised by the ISLP in cooperation with Russian colleagues;
- publishing these papers and other invited articles as peer-reviewed articles (chapters) in the ISLP series Perspectives on Linguistics and Ancient Languages (PLAL), Gorgias Press;
- publishing peer-reviewed monographs in PLAL;
- laying the foundations for Syriac-English lexica in the twenty-first century and for ancient-language lexicography generally;
- inviting doctoral students to present and publish peer-reviewed articles in PLAL.
The ISLP Group
The ISLP group is interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and collaborative. As a result Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, and other Semitic scholars are part of the group, or regularly join us and publish in our volumes. ISLP members are the work-engine of the group, but that work is complemented by the contributions of many other participants. Members are:
- James Aitken (University of Cambridge).
- Reinier de Blois (Vrije, Amsterdam; Global ICAP Coordinator at United Bible Societies, Netherlands).
- Aaron Michael Butts (Yale University).
- Janet Dyk (Vrije, Amsterdam).
- Terry Falla (Whitley College, MCD University of Divinity).

Terry Falla (above left), Andreas Juckel (above right) and Beryl Turner (below left) are collaborating on a lexicon to all the Syriac versions of the New Testament.
Lexicon to the Syriac Versions of the New Testament
Work has begun on the first lexicon to be prepared in accordance with a conceptual framework worked out by the ISLP (which sees a corpus-by-corpus approach to Syriac's vast body of literature as a means of providing an achievable foundation for a complete future lexicon): Lexicon to the Syriac Versions of the New Testament: the Sinaiticus and Curetonianus Old Syriac versions, including Kerschensteiner's Pauline Quotations, and the Peshitta and Harklean versions. Perspectives on Linguistics and Ancient Languages. Piscataway, NJ: Gorgias Press, by Terry Falla in collaboration with Andreas Juckel (Institut für Neutestamentliche Textforschung, University of Münster) and Beryl Turner, and co-editor Georgia Kelly (Syriac Language Research Centre, Whitley College).
The lexicon:
- is based on many of the principles of A Key to the Peshitta Gospels (KPG) and subsequent published research by the ISLP and the lexical team;
- will include lexemes unique to the two extant versions of the Old Syriac, the Sinaiticus and Curetonian versions, the Old Syriac quotations in Josef Kerschensteiner, Der Altsyrische Paulustext (Louvain: SCCO, 1970);
- will employ texts of the Old Syriac Gospels vocalised by Andreas Juckel and his Analytical Concordance to the Harklean Version (in preparation).

text: I just got a set string which is Tecnifibre Blackcode 17 from my friend, but not like the other strings, it has no words printed on the string, just all black. So do I get a fake string or its normal? It has a pentagonal (five sided) cross-section, not like the others I have ever used.

Gorgeous card, LeAnne! Love the colors on this card and those beautiful papers! Your friend is going to treasure this! A real beauty! TFS and have a great day! :)ReplyDelete
I looked at that sketch and didn't think I could do anything with it...you sure did. I have that DSP but haven't used it yet. This will be a CASE for me :-) TFS. With crafts and baking, you can always keep Cassidy busy...throw in some games and reading too. Have a great week. No cards for me for two days, we'll be in Disney.ReplyDelete
Beautiful card. I love the colors and DSP. I like how you stamped the flower behind the sentiment.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous papers, darling birthday card, and the sweetest wishes ... Linda C.? She'll be jumping for joy, like Cassidy, maybe!!!ReplyDelete
Pretty texture on this wonderful card for your friend Linda! Three days off, perhaps a trip back to the trampoline center will be in order ;)ReplyDelete

text: Tea of the morning! I am up way earlier than usual for a Sunday morning due to sinus issues so I figured caffeine was in order. This is pretty good today, as usual, but I really think I was craving some more green tea with honey as that seems to make me feel better. Oh well, there is always time for more tea!

It bounced off the truck
And then rolled down the highway
Apple turnover
How 'bout them apples
When Jonathan McIntosh
Won the spelling bee
Apple of my eye
Jenny had the sweetest smile
For another guy
Right down to the core
When that apple crossed the plate
An infield dribble
Just one little hole
In that shiny red apple
Just one little worm

Great idea here
Let's open a Haiku Shoppe
They go great with beer
Easy to find I'm told
They hide under nibs of pens
Don't let them get old
To make a great stew
Take a limerick or two
Mix well with Haiku
If all has gone well
And your mix has turned out right
You're ready to sell
One more thing to do
We must put them on a bun -
Sit and have a few

I find your name
rolling across my tongue
but you never come true
days of old gone
words dripped on pages
and I read them still
bees are buzzing with bliss
honey drips from tongue
buckets filled with rum
eyes of blue
you are so true
I'm still leaving you
you call my name
I'm going the opposite way
I just don't have time for you today
we were the best of friends
it was the best of times
then love got in the way
I wrote these "all" in 2011,,, I know they're not the 5 - 7 - 5,,,, but here I am posting.

So Samsung's tablet isn't a rip-off of Apple's iPad because Apple is far cooler than Samsung. Pretty solid argument I'm sure you'll agree. Not sure who came out of that better? Apple may have lost the case, but the brand damage sustained by Samsung will surely make this a shallow victory.
Anyway, the saga rumbles on with Apple now forced to say that Samsung did not copy the iPad across their advertising. Apple have a track record of taking companies on, think 'I'm a PC/I'm a Mac', so it's hard to imagine Apple not trying to do something clever with this.
At Cafecreate Towers we rather like Apple, well apart from our PC loving web developer, but we heard he killed a dog with his bare hands so you can't trust his judgement anyway. However, I digress; so we've done Apple a lovely advert so they can apologise to Samsung in true Apple style, and hopefully fan the flames in the process. Fight!
Join the debate with #AppleSamsung.

Here is the post (I hope with pictures):
From the beginning, humans have marked the passing of time. Sunrise, sunset. The movements of the waters - high and low tides. The four phases of the moon, each consisting of seven days. The passing of the seasons as nature reflects the movement of earth around the sun…winter, spring, summer, fall…a dormant season, a blossoming season, a growing season, a season for harvest. And it keeps on repeating, over and over and over, all of it…tides, sunsets, moon phases, seasons, and years…
There are so many memories the Camino brought to me. Several of the standouts are these: The blessing from St Anne's as we ended our last service in May prior to flying to Europe. The first pilgrim mass we went to on the eve of our journey in Roncesvalles. Vespers and Compline with the monks of Rabanal del Camino. And the pilgrim's mass in Santiago. It seems that for me God is always present, always here, but most powerfully present in the rhythm, the routine, the ritual. Walking and seeing the mountains, the plains, the rivers, the crops, the villages and the people - powerfully declare the beauty of God…but it seemed that God was most present in the rhythm, routine, and ritual of time that is intentional. By that I mean, when I intentionally offered time to God, by returning to God, by making the priority to stop and spend time with God, there was presence that was overwhelming. It was as though in coming to God in this manner, it was a returning of the gift of time that the Lord had given to me. It was, if you will, a sanctifying of what was, what is, and what will be.
When we arrived at Santiago, it was much like the arrival at the Cross de Ferro - a great big hollow empty that greeted us - God was seemingly absent. The town took 3 forevers to walk through, the crowds were crazy thick, the cathedral was covered in scaffolding, and there were buses and cars and venders all over the cathedral square - hardly the arrival I had pictured. We didn't go to mass that night, instead we waited and headed by taxi for several days at Finisterre. If you watched the movie "The Way" this is were they end their journey. It is actually the pre-Christian camino, it is known by locals as the "pegan camino" because it is a journey to the end of the known Roman world, where the gods live and dead belong. It too was a "let down", nothing like the crashing see of the movie, although the actual place is breathtaking in its own right. We returned to Santiago to complete our Camino by attending the pilgrim's mass - I was skeptical. The Camino seemed to be amounting to little more than a long walk…and then the mass began and the entire Camino fell into its proper place. In the rhythm and routine of the ritual — in this sacred place of time, God was present…in the actions, in the song, in the worship, in the sermon (more on that in another post), and in the blessing of the Botafumeiro…it brought an expected blessing of laughter, of joy, of the remarkable presence of God - and there was evening and there was morning.
On this Camino, God was always present - theologically I know this…but here is how I would sum up my experience for the 34 days of Camino: God was not in the wind, nor was He in the heat, not in the cross on the mountain, nor in the edifice of the cathedral, of the coast of Spain…He was in the still small whisper that is ritual…in the rhythm and routine of a set time of prayer and worship. We are blessed at St Anne's…we have regular ritual - a time and place, a rhythm and routine of worship on Wed and Sun mornings. Deacon Mary Lynn has been offering the rhythm and routine of ritual at 8:45 for prayer. We have the BCP and the opportunity for regular, routine daily prayer…the rhythm and ritual of the daily offices. Many of you experienced the Daniel Plan and made daily time with God a priority. My encouragement for each of us is to sanctify this gift of time, by setting aside a portion of it each day to intentionally spend with the Lord. One might even call this a sabbath time each day…a rhythm, a routine, a ritual of setting aside intentional time and offering it back to the Lord in prayer and worship. And there was evening and there was morning…"time".
More to come at another "time",
Blessings from Italy, (and now Austria!)

For non-byon providers, you can use whirr.templates.role1+role2.hardwareId=foo
For byon, the way roles are assigned to instances is indeterminate (it depends on the order of the keys in doAction(eventMap)).
It would be great if the user could get control over this.

Thanks Karel. Looks good! I will give it a try a bit later today. I'm planning to do some more refactoring on BYON as part of
Updated patch. Previous patch failed to handle templates which didn't specify a .hardwareId
Attached a quick hack, I'm all for suggestions on how to do it better.
The yaml model doesn't give you much to work with, so I abused the 'tags' functionality:
**Yaml nodes: - id: ubuntu1 hostname: 192.168.54.160 os_arch: x86 os_family: ubuntu ... tags: - tag1 - tag2 ** recipe: whirr.templates.role1+role2.hardwareId=tag1,tag2 -> Only nodes which have both 'tag1' and 'tag2' will be used.
If you use .hardwareId, you should use it on all instance-templates, otherwise the tagged instances can get assigned to the wrong node.
ps: yay,

Welcome to SIBMC / The Buttermilk Club
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today. (Martin Luther King, Jr. Washington, DC. August 28, 1963.)
In an interconnected global economy and exchanging world, the face of corporate leadership has been changing slowly. It is finally becoming accepted that a qualified, diverse talent pool is not only "good to have", it is a "must have" for business success. Corporations need minority professionals who can function in the international business world.
The Buttermilk Club is the premier group that connects African Americans and other ethnic minorities in Legal and Compliance careers, in the Securities Industry and Financial Markets. The group was founded to provide networking opportunities, develop and mentor African Americans and other ethnic minorities in Legal and Compliance careers in the Securities Industry and Financial Markets, to become success professionals and future leaders.
SIBMC membership is open to all African Americans Legal and Compliance professionals, and students who are interested in the Securities Industry and Financial Markets.

Brussels, Feb 11 (IANS) NATO defence Ministers on Wednesday agreed to enhance the military presence in eastern Europe at the ministerial meeting, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at the press conference following the first day's meeting.
He stated that NATO will continue adapting the deterrence and defence to meet threats from any direction, Xinhua reported.
"Effective deterrence and defence requires both forward presence of Allied forces, and our ability to reinforce them quickly, if needed. I expect Ministers to agree to enhance our forward presence in the eastern part of our Alliance," Stoltenberg said ahead of the meeting.
Taking steps toward reinforcing the alliance's collective defence and deterrence is the main topic at the meeting of defence ministers.

Shuffle Alley Bowling Machine 1961 by Chicago Coin Co

- Sold Date:
- Source: eBay
is a great Christmas item for your gameroom. This classic Park Lane model shuffle alley uses a puck, allows up to six individual bowlers, and you can select from six games:Regulation
Keep Striking
Call Strike
Step Up
Dual Flash
Regulation Bowling keeps track of strikes and spares. The other games add ways to score additional points (can go over 1000 points). Some games produce flashing patterns of point values on the alley surface lights so scoring depends on the timing of the throw. As you can see from the pictures, its appearance is good. Operation is also good. It is set up for coin-free operation. I have owned it for about 25 years. It has been in my dry basement, w you see it, and has been used little in that time. It comes with a can of shuffle wax (shown).The overall size is 109" x 77" x 31". The two large component sizes are 102" x 24" x 30" and 22" x 77" x 31". The weight is estimated to be between 300 and 400 lb. I prefer to sell it for pickup at my home about 10 miles south of Pittsburgh, zip15236. Freight shipment is possible, but you have to arrange for packaging, pickup,and shipping. I set this item up for an automatic shipping quote, but the Freight Quote people informed me that their quote doesn't cover packaging. As an alternative, another Ebay listing (2501907 ... read more

The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) provides a database of academic programs that emphasize one or more aspect of sustainability. This database is a good place to start if you are searching for information about graduate degrees (Masters's and Ph.D. programs) that you might pursue beyond graduation with your B.A. in Sustainability Studies from CMC.
Developing Skills and Making Connections for Your Sustainability Career
Although an internship course experience is not required for graduation, an internship can be an especially valuable way to develop your professional skills and resume. A number of CMC Sustainability Studies graduates have obtained paid employment with organizations for which they served as interns. Others have landed sustainability jobs with other organizations based on the skills they developed as interns.

When you have that feeling in your heart and in your mind, it's quite overwhelming. The most ridiculous grin is stuck on your face, you heart races, your skin tingles, your mind fires from one thought to the other, you're not exactly sure how you're breathing… For me, I even giggle hysterically. That's how I am when I think about my business. Oh and yes, I'm a crazy person and love every second of it.
Oh, what you thought I was going to admit a secret love, pah!
Now, it's time to turn the tables. Is what I've just described how you feel when you think about your career? Is that how you feel when you think about your job? If the answer is yes, you're a lucky duck.
If the answer is "no." …Well, then why are you doing it? I mean I know I give a lot of backlash for professional schools, like being a doctor, only because I almost tricked myself into thinking that's what I really wanted. When I realized it was NOT what inspired me and made me feel (yes) giddy, I knew I would last through it. But it wasn't until four years of my undergraduate career for me to make the promise to myself to pursue only the things which inspired me.
When you're on this side, you can see so much more. What I thought was once impossible became a shrug of …eh it's probable, I can do it. I've promised myself to serve people, in the way I can do it best. It gives me the greatest fulfillment.
If you've gotten this far in my post, I HAVE to assume you want more from life. So, let's do something, eh?
Carve out 1 hour from your week.
My journey into online entrepreneurship happened on a whim, with small increments of time I happened to have found myself dedicating to it. If you didn't realize, by you reading this, you're exactly where I was over a year ago. Because, yes, it took me a year to take the plunge. It's scary, thrilling, and some people think you're an idiot, like sky-diving.
Carve out one hour from your week and dedicate to figuring out what you would do, IF YOU BY CHANCE, wanted to start an online business. Just an hour a week to ruminate on it and mull it over. This means no T.V., no computer, only a pen and a notebook to write some ideas out. If you need some help figuring out what you like, love, or are interested in then just get my "Spark Your Goals" guide by signing up for updates.
Do it.
Pick the one hour, right now. Sunday's from 1-2? Thursdays from 6-7? Carve it out now. Remind yourself my setting an alarm on your phone or sticking a piece of paper on the wall saying, "Taking a Risk on Myself."
Always, remember it's the sum of SMALL STEPS that make the journey. And enjoy each foot forward.
Now, what do you have to say about this? What's your carved out time? What day of the week is it? Let me know, below!

Trip Report – Bogota
My husband is working in Bogota, Colombia - so I went down for a long weekend to visit.
Flight – Continental direct from Houston on Thusday, Aug. 12th arriving Fri. Aug. 13th– very comfortable and great service. I have Elite status so I had the chair with two seats of leg room. It made for good sleeping on the way down since we took off at 11:55 pm and landed at 4:55am.
My husband had his driver pick me up at the airport. This was very convenient and all weekend we were able to use him for transport. I, unfortunately, cannot give the price range on this but we had zero problems getting around with a driver. We did use the "hotel" cab services a few times these were the white cabs that wait in front of the larger hotels. Again, these were very useful. A note on transportation, as many who go to Bogota know, there are many warnings about the taxis. While we never felt threatened or had an issue, we stuck to our driver, the white cabs, and taxis that had a coordinator on site (they hand you a ticket and track the taxi). We had absolutely no issues in this way.
The Hotel – My husband has an apartment in Bogota in Hotel Casa Dann Carlton. While, I'm sure the apartments would be too rich for our blood on our own dime, the hotel has a hotel room tower as well. The location was great in that we felt fine walking from our hotel to Zona T and Parque 93. Having visited the more historic areas, I would recommend staying near Parque 93 or Zona T. These seem safer and while you will have to drive/be driven to many of the sites…the peace of mind while walking in the evening/at night was worth it to me.
Day 1: I got there and immediately went to bed as the 5 hour over night flight was not very restful. I woke up at about 11:30 and we decided to take a bit of a ride for lunch. One of my husband's co-worker's had found a really good empanada stand and man was it good. It was called "La Comilona" and as much as I tried to figure out an intersection, I could not for the life of me find the street names. It was in a pretty run down area, not a place you would walk around. We had chicharron, empanadas de yucca, papas fritas, and postobon to wash it all down. (Pictures will be posted soon in a Flickr account).
We then took a drive up to La Calera. It offers a beautiful view of the city there are also many restaurants/cafes up there. I wish that we could have tried one, but my husband thought it best (since knows the city well at this point) to not chance it up there at night. A day time trip up to the view point is highly recommended. We parked in a restaurant parking lot that I believe was called "La Paloma".
The driver then dropped us at Zona T for a bit of shopping. I found that most of the mall items were priced similarly to the U.S. so no big bargains to speak of. I did find one store in the mall called "Opposite". They specialized in leather items that were made in Colombia. I bought a nice pair of brown boots for U.S. $110. I also bought some knock off Ray Bans on the street for U.S. $20 (but I bet I could have negotiated lower).
We then stopped off at the Bogota Beer company for a quick drink. Bogota has many great beers. I tried my first Club Colombia and very much liked it (and I'm not a big beer drinker). They have many locations. http://www.bogotabeercompany.com/
We walked back to Calle 94 from Zona T. A long walk but along Av. Carrera 15 there was a flower market and goods market along the way. It was a pretty busy street so we felt very safe considering it is about 10 blocks.
That night we had dinner at Club Colombia – the brewery owns the restaurant. It is in a beautiful two story house home at Av 82 No. 9 - 11 Carrera 9, Bogotá D.C., Colombia -(0)571 2495681. The décor was very romantic and dark with a fire place. While the service was inattentive, the food was excellent. We had a typical array of appetizers and I had the langostinos coco loco for my main course. For two bottles of wine (there were four of us), appetizers, and dinner the bill was ~$200.
We ended the night at a club called Kukuramakara. http://www.kukaramakara.com/ They had a band playing US covers and salsa in between. We had quite a bit of fun dancing and felt very safe walking the few blocks back to our hotel (even though it was pretty late at that point). That is all for now… more to come.

Day 2 – Up and breakfasted despite the late night by 10am. I very much liked the Hotel Casa Dann Carlton's breakfast's quite a bit of variety and great Colombian breakfast options. One dish in particular that I loved was Calental – essentially leftovers with rice. We took the morning to walk to Parque 93 and looked around a bit. It was a bit of a rainy day so we took advantage of the weather and went back to the hotel and napped. We then had lunch at Café Renault. It was ok. A very large menu to please quite a few people. I had a sushi roll and some pieces of tuna that I was not too pleased with…oh well. We then walked north on Carrera 15. Not much to see, but it was a safe area for a walk, plus we had to save our energy for that evening.
***By far the highlight of my trip was Andres Carne de Res. It is loud, boisterous, fun, crazy, and nothing like any restaurants that I have ever visited in the U.S. or Europe. http://www.andrescarnederes.com/
Our driver drove us the ~45 minute drive to Chia – a suburb of Bogota. Chia is a bit run down looking but seems that have quite a few fun looking places (read – lights strung with big porches and bands). I noticed they were all empty though. I made a comment on this and all who had been to Andres before said, you'll see why…everyone is at Andres Carne de Res.
Andres Carne de Res greets you with Christmas light adorned windmills at what looks like a sprawling warehouse. There is a line to buy tickets to enter, then a line to enter (can you tell it is popular). I believe the cover charge was about $15. At the door to the entrance there are crazy looking characters handing out tequila shots in hollowed out limes (a definite sign of the night to come). The place is so popular that they essentially have a holding area before you are let into the main dining room where you can order food and drinks. You can absolutely not be impatient at this place. They are slammed. The atmosphere is so festive that it outweighs any stomach growls you have anyways.
The menu arrives…it is about an 8.5x11x3 inch metal box with cranks on the side. You have to scroll through the menu that starts with an index (and is ~40 pages). While perusing, we hear a commotion at another table. I'm informed that they are taking shots of Aguardiente (A Colombian Anise liquor). I was also informed that it is not a night at Andres without Aguardiente. We ordered a media bottle of antiqueno sin azucar. Very potent, but very good with lime. I also had one of the smoothest margaritas I have ever had (The margarita Don Julio). I used both of these to wash down the Picados tipicos (chicharron, empanadas, papas, and other amazing appetizers).
While all of this is going on a parade of noisy waiters and waitresses playing trumpets and maracas passes our table. We also had a video screen that looked directly on to the dance floor to watch all of the antics in the main dining area.
About 45 minutes (but not complaining, just informing) after the time for our reservation, we are called for our table. The inside of this place is filled with kitschy, off color décor (naked mannequins and roman-eque statues). We get a table right next to the dance floor which by this time (~9:30) is packed. We ordered some steaks and another round of drinks and joined in with the dancing while waiting for our food. It quickly becomes apparent that the dancing is not just relegated to the dance floor b/c a group starts dancing on their chairs at the table next to us. Festive is an understatement. There are characters in costume walking around to take pictures with them.
With all of this atmosphere you would think the food to be mediocre at best, but the medium rare chateau-briand I ordered was excellent. Served with a potato stuffed tomato it was perfect for soaking some of the alcohol and darn tasty too. We had to stay for a bit to keep dancing since we were having so much fun and didn't end up leaving until almost 1am. This was not by any means a cheap dinner, but it was so much fun that I recommend it to all, but not for the faint of heart!

Day 3 – Museo de Oro and Monserrate
We skipped breakfast and slept in but had an early brunch at Oma Café on Parque 93. Oma is a popular coffee brand in Colombia and they do a pretty decent brunch.
Next, we taxied down to the Museo de Oro. They were having a flea market outside so after we shopped for a while, we entered the museum. It was free (at least on this Sunday it was) and well worth the visit. It was very interesting to learn about the different indigenous cultures and their methods of metal working and uses of the finished product. We are not usually big museum people, but this was a fun one.
Afterwards, we taxied to the base of Monserrate. Monserrate is a Cathedral at approximately 10,000 feet altitude that you can take a Funicular (Train) or Teleferico (Cable Car) up to the top. Luckily for us the weather was overcast and rainy and this translated to very short lines. We waited probably 20 minutes to board and ascended up into the sky. The ride up was a bit cramped, but we got a space next to the window to take pictures. The Cathedral itself was impressive, but the views of the city at that altitude were the highlight. There is also a market behind the cathedral with some very tempting street food. I tried a piece of griddle fried tripe, but it didn't sit too well with me. It was very cold and rainy at the top so we tried to find an open café (but all shut down at around 6pm). So we headed back down in the Funicular and taxied to Zona G.
It being Sunday, there were quite a few places closed. Our intention was to go to Casa Vieja, but we ended up at a little, quite formal Italian restaurant called Il Positano. The food and wine were fabulous, and although it was more than we had intended to spend for Sunday supper – it was so nice to sit and enjoy a glass of wine out of the cold. I highly recommend the ravioli di Porcini con trufi neri (porcini ravioli with black truffles). So good!
We were tired so called it an early night to prepare for our last day together in Bogota.

Bogota - Last and final day!
Up and going pretty early the next morning, we ate breakfast at the hotel (yum…Calentado) and set off with our driver to explore La Candelaria. It was great to have a guide around the area to point out the little known facts and interesting points of the area. We started off in Plaza Simon Bolivar. The architecture was incredible against the green of the Andes. Breathtaking! We then walked to Palacio Narino and had the obligatory photo of us with the Palace guards. Along the way there were a few churches with notably beautiful architecture and statues that we snapped some photos of. One stand out was Iglesia de San Juan de Bosque. There was a Novella being filmed at the Templo de San Augustin. We also navigated through some small market alleys where I was able to find some great figurines of Botero statues and my husband picked up some Aguardiente cups. We then headed to the Casa de la Moneda for a quick look, but spent about an hour or so in the Botero museum. It really was a fabulous collection of his work and a great experience.
We then had a late lunch at Casa Viejas (which we had missed the day before). I had Camarones Enchilados which were very good. The "typical" appetizer plate was one of the best that I had in Colombia. Amazing empanadas de Carne and Fried Yuca. I also tried one of my tablemate's order of "Lengua" which despite my concerns about the texture, was fabulous. Perhaps the highlight though was the Aijiaco ordered by my husband. The ultimate comfort food, it was rich and flavorful.
Our evening was spent packing and with a quick trip to Zona T again to walk around a bit for one last time. We had a light dinner at Il Pommeriggio, and the Cesar salad there was quite good.
It was a fabulous adventure in Bogota and I would highly recommend a visit. I am not certain if anyone has read my trip report so I am going to save myself the trouble of uploading the pics to Flickr unless someone requests to see them. Until then, I hope you have enjoyed the reading!

Start point in search barIf you pan the map so that it is centred on a different point the starting location used by the search bar changes to this point. So you can pan the map, and just click 'New search' to show places around that location. This will also remember the current zoom level.
Key to map icons
ColourA different colour is used for each county, with a darker shade used for those places which have their own unique web page e.g. parishes and townships. A paler shade is used for smaller places which don't have a unique web page. Information about these smaller places is held in the page for the parish or township to which they belong. As you zoom out the lighter icons will disappear to reduce overcrowding, and then the darker ones just leaving the place you selected as a starting point.
ShapeThe icons used for places for which we have an exact location have a teardrop shape. If we only have an approximate location (within 1 kilometre), a square icon is used. The marker for places with an approximate location is placed at a random location within a 1 Km square on the map.
If we have not yet decided in which township or parish a place was located a square icon with nibbled edges is used. This shape is used for both exact and approximate locations.

Three weeks after a frightening car crash, two Dunedin pitchers have returned to live action on the mound.
Seniors Bryan Banks and Matt Cheek proved fast healers from cuts and bruises suffered Feb. 22 when a Volvo driven by teammate Kyle Schmidt struck a utility pole at the corner of Keene Road and Salem Court.
"They kind of turned the corner over this past weekend and got to the point where they weren't sore," Dunedin coach Tom Hilbert said. "It's really relieving for us to finally get them back out there."
Banks started for the Falcons on Thursday at Sarasota and cruised to a complete game, allowing three hits and giving up just one run in a 3-1 win.
After sustaining cuts above his left eye and left earlobe that required more than 100 stitches, he remains unable to hit (a batting helmet is painful) but reported no problems throwing.
"I feel good, real good," Banks said. "All my stuff healed up real quick. I was surprised."
Cheek, who allowed a run and two hits in five innings in improving to 3-0 Friday against Venice, suffered a bruised left hip, chest and shoulder. But like Banks, he did not need a doctor's clearing to play and got back on the field soon after the crash. Schmidt's return, however, remains a question mark. The right-hander had staples taken out of his left arm Wednesday and will start light tossing next week. Hilbert said there is a possibility Schmidt could return for the post-season.
Even while the three were out, Dunedin did not miss a beat. The No. 2 team in the Tampa Bay Top 10 (8-1 through Thursday) got quality outings from John Irving and Lakewood transfer Jeremy Billotti.
"We're pretty deep pitching-wise," Hilbert said in an understatement. "That's where we're blessed."
But the Falcons also have realized they were blessed in another way -- only Schmidt was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. "It's just a big wake-up call for everybody," Cheek said. "A lot of people now, the first thing they always tell us is to make sure to buckle up. That's my mom's first and last thing to tell me every single morning.
"Matt, I love you, have a good day, make sure to buckle up.' She's been saying that ever since I've been driving. But now it's definitely sinking in."
TOURNEY TRIUMPH: Indian Rocks Christian emerged as a somewhat surprising champion March 3 at the 11th annual Sentinel tournament in Fort Myers. IRC beat host Fort Myers Evangelical 2-1 behind a 13-strikeout complete game from Christopher Cranfield. It then topped Highlands Christian in eight innings for the title.
Highlands Christian beat previously unbeaten Northside Christian in the other semifinal. In the final, freshman Caleb Welsh picked up the game-winning RBI.
BITS: Through Wednesday, top-ranked (in the Tampa Bay Top 10 and Baseball America) Seminole had won four consecutive games by 10 runs or more. Monday, John Killalea no-hit Countryside in five innings. ... Lakewood ace Kyle Crump pitched a one-hitter against Largo on Monday. He already has a no-hitter this season, Feb. 13 against Tarpon Springs. ... From the "ouch" department, St. Petersburg Catholic blasted Mitchell 24-0 Thursday. The Mustangs, in their first season, fell to 0-10.

Baseball is a game of history and statistics. It is also a game of superstition. So as the 2010 UConn baseball season began to set records, superstition came into play.
As they ran off 22 consecutive wins, the team followed a pattern usually reserved for a no-hitter – no one spoke about it. Head coach Jim Penders would fill his gas tank only to the amount that matched the team's most recent record – $37.07 for the team's 37-7 record, for example – precisely to the penny, being careful not to go over. For more than a month, none of the 35 players and four coaches visited a barbershop.
"In baseball, we're goofy like that," says Penders, a standout scholar-athlete during his playing days at UConn who took the helm six years ago. "There's a million ways to lose a baseball game, and for 22 games in about a month we didn't find any of those ways. It was really special."
Heading into Big East tournament play May 26-30 in Clearwater, Fla., seeded no. 2, the Huskies know their entire season has been special. For the first time since a run to the College World Series in 1979, the baseball team has received national ranking. The Huskies have two of the top pitchers in the Big East, Elliot Glynn and Matt Barnes, a starting lineup with batting averages near or over .300, and a team slugging percentage more than 100 points over their opponents.
The result is a regular season record of 43-12, establishing a new season wins mark, and a determined focus on moving deep into post-season play in the NCAA Championship tournament, which will culminate in late June at the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. The Huskies will play Cincinnati on May 26 at 1 p.m. The May 30 Big East championship will be televised live on ESPNU, and every UConn game can be heard on WTIC AM 1080 and WHUS 91.7 FM.
"We still have a lot to prove," says Glynn, a junior from Long Beach, Calif., one of the top pitchers in college baseball this year and the No. 1 hurler in the Big East. "There is a whole other season on the horizon and a whole lot to earn."
Adds Mike Nemeth, a junior first baseman from Washington, N.J., who is the Huskies' leading hitter: "The way we're playing is pretty special. We want to make a run in the tournament."
After a 12-7 start, the Huskies began their 22-game win streak by taking the final game of a three-game series in Louisville, Ky., in late March, when the Cardinals were ranked No. 7 nationally. For nearly a month, both in and out of conference games, the team piled up wins so that by mid-April the Huskies appeared at No. 25 in the national rankings, eventually moving into the top 20.
Penders learned about the ranking soon after his team swept Villanova in a Big East series at J.O. Christian Field in Storrs. He met with the team and crafted his remarks to his student-athletes in a familiar tone: "It's something to be proud of, but we haven't accomplished anything yet. The only ranking that matters is what we think of ourselves."
Yet what others think about the baseball team is spreading quickly. Storrs-area baseball fans have provided vocal support during home games. Students have formed the K-9 Unit in the right-field bleachers at J.O. Christian Field, rivaling the soccer team's Goal Patrol and football team's Dog Pound.
"It's cool to have them giving us a little edge, ripping on the other team," says Nemeth. "It certainly happens to us when we go on the road."
Penders says interest in playing baseball at UConn continues to rise, as he and his coaches are on the recruiting trail. The University of Connecticut is recognized by players in California, Texas, Georgia, and other prime areas for attracting talented baseball players. It's a process Penders says is similar to that established by Hall of Fame basketball coaches Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma and football coach Randy Edsall, who built programs that led to attracting the highly recruited student-athlete who could move the team to the next level of achievement, especially home-grown talent from Connecticut.
"When Coach Calhoun first got here, he didn't get Chris Smith in his first year. Randy didn't get Dan Orlovsky until his third year," Penders says. "In the past two or three years we've been able to get George Springer (New Britain), Mike Olt (Branford), and L.J. Mazzilli (Greenwich), a freshman who was rated as the top player in Connecticut last year."
UConn players are being recognized individually within college baseball as well. In last year's Cape Cod League, the top college summer league, three Huskies were named to the all-star team – outfielder Springer, pitcher Glynn, and infielder Pierre LePage, a Connecticut player from Wolcott.
"That's significant because when our players go to those national-level leagues and excel, they bring confidence back with them," says Penders. "We think Connecticut is a place of championships. We look at basketball, soccer, and football and say: They can do it. Why can't we?"

Add British duo Plaid to the list of seminal 90s-era electronic artists who are getting back into the game after ridiculously long hiatuses. Although Mssrs. Andy Turner and Ed Handley's eight-year break clocks in on the shorter end of that spectrum, the return of the Warp Records recording artists is being met with no less fanfare, because it's not every day you get a new album from these two. Nor do you get a tour every day from the jolly lads — although you'll get at least 14 such days if you're living in North America this fall.
The duo's latest, Scintilli, drops September 27 via their old pals Warp. But lest you think Plaid were buried deep in their electronica cave, hibernating the past near-decade away, take note. Because Handley and Turner have been very, very busy. They've collaborated with Björk, Mara Carylyle, and Nicolette. They've done remixes aplenty. They've created scores for a couple Michael Arias films. They've put together a music + art DVD with video artist Bob Jaroc entitled Greedy Baby, which came out in 2006. So you see, it's not like we've all been living in a deplorably dystopian, Plaid-less world these past few years, but after eight years with no full-length? You don't write, Plaid, you don't call? Eight years? EIGHT YEARS? Well… ahh hell, come give us a hug. It's good to see you, old chums.

text: You might not have heard of HTC, but you'll have certainly seen the company's phones. For the Taiwan-based HTC makes a huge range of Windows Mobile devices including T-Mobile's MDA Vario II, possibly the best smartphone around. The Windows Mobile-based S310 not only has the HTC logo, it is designed to be sold Sim-free - so it can work with any network provider. Sadly, the S310 won't do much to further the HTC brand. It is a standard chocolate bar-style smartphone that has the basics (Outlook, Explorer, Media Player etc) but lacks pizzazz. Up against recent rivals like the MDA Vario and Nokia N73, it really does look dated. The poor quality 1.3 megapixel camera, limited storage space and poor curved keys don't help either. Worst of all is the screen, which is nowhere near as bright as its rivals. Battery life is also poor. So unless buying a Sim-free phone is your number one priority, I'd pass on this.
