Set the Table with Switchel
Written onMarch 01 , 2010
Long a staple in Northeast hayfields as a thirst quencher and restorative, switchel—alternatively called "haymaker's punch" —was a colonial era proto-Gatorade, a source of both hydration and electrolyte replenishment. Recipes vary, but the most common ingredients were molasses, cider vinegar, and ginger, mixed to taste in a jug of very cold well water. While the concoction could have provided benefit to all manner of laborers and sporting folks, its use was particularly common among the workers of the hayfield and the children who carried the switchel jug to them.
It would seem that the drink was an acquired taste, even for the haymakers. A certain Charles Morris Cobb was a young man of 19 in Woodstock when he wrote in his journal on the evening of July 7, 1853, "To morrow I'm going to work for Chas Raymond a haying $1 worth, … He made a mixture of water, molasses & vinegar, for drink, and some I took, sickened me so that I stopped and didn't work for an hour." While the mixture didn't sit well with the unfortunate Mr. Cobb, it was certainly a boon to the laborers who spent countless hours in the summer sun engaged in the brutal work of haying.
The particular blend of ingredients that is switchel came about through a fascinating interplay of trade patterns, colonial medical philosophy, public health concerns, the burgeoning temperance movement, and Yankee practicality. In the mid- to late-1700s, laborers drank huge quantities of rum to make it through their day. New England-distilled rum, made from molasses imported from the West Indies, was plentiful and "sold so cheaply that even common laborers could afford to get drunk every day," writes Andrew Barr in Drink: A Social History of America.
In the 18th century, water was not generally considered fit for consumption, due in part to contamination concerns but also to the then contemporary understanding of a working body. It was thought that as a person sweated during hot work, refreshment should be hot and stimulating rather than cool and hydrating in order to maintain a balance of inside and outside temperature and to prevent illness due to imbalance. Rum fit the bill far better than cold water, which was considered downright dangerous. But with the development of switchel, the combination of vinegar, ginger and molasses mimicked the hot sensation of liquor while providing water and electrolytes, not to mention encouraging sobriety.
The timing of the rise of switchel also coincided with the nascent temperance movement; while it may be obvious that a team of haymakers fortified only with vast quantities of rum would be a severely inhibited team of haymakers, the temperance ethic involved a more spiritual and less practical motivation for tee totaling while on the clock. An 1843 collection of written sketches, Wild Scenes in the Forest and Prairie, calls switchel, along with root beer, "the penitential potations of BAAL ALCOHOL's converted worshippers." Philadelphia physician and temperance activist Benjamin Rush pushed to replace rum with "other pleasant and wholesome liquors" to aid in bringing in the harvest, such as "water sharpened with vinegar and sweetened with molasses."
The ingredients were close at hand, vinegar being a common product of New England's orchards, and molasses being readily available as unfermented and undistilled rum. Some recipes suggest replacing the molasses with maple syrup (clearly a readily available choice) or cane sugar. And other sources suggest that rum itself was a common addition to switchel. An 1867 issue of The Advocate of Harvard University recalls a time when "the favorite beverage was switchel; a compound of rum, molasses, and ginger, the receipt for which was imported from the rural districts." Of course, this may suggest more about the age-old proclivity of college students for liquor than it does about the makeup of switchel.
The 1867 undergrads were not alone, however, in preferring their switchel adulterated. In the nation's capital, "switchel was composed of molasses, ginger and pure water from the celebrated Capitol spring, and was 'flavored' with the finest Jamaica rum," wrote Joseph West Moore in 1895's The American Congress: A History of National Legislation and Political Events 1774–1895. "Many gallons of it were consumed daily, and whenever there was an exciting debate the supply had to be renewed again and again."
Despite its benefits to the laborer—and legislator—the drink has suffered a great deal of gustatory scorn. In The Country Kitchen, a 1936 paean to a vanishing era in rural Michigan, author Della T. Lutes referred to switchel as "a not altogether unpleasant substitute for the average mouthwash of today." Modern descriptions run the gamut from "tangy" and "refreshing" on the positive side, to "hardly wretched" and "not so bad," all the way to "disgusting." Just as Woodstock's young Mr. Cobb found the drink to be an acquired taste, so too do many modern tongues. But then, perhaps all we need to do to fully appreciate switchel is spend the day in a hayfield under the hot July sun.

When the Pope recently decided that condom use was okay when preventing the spread of AIDS, many people were suspicious of the example he used – gay prostitutes. Did that mean it was only okay when there was already zero possibility of pregnancy? Was this the Catholic Church snubbing women yet again?
The Vatican has released a clarification today that condoms can be used to prevent AIDS by all genders and sexual orientations:
The pope's comments in the book implied that he was referring primarily to homosexual sex, when condoms aren't being used as a form of contraception. Questions arose immediately about the pope's intent, though, because the Italian translation of the book used the feminine for prostitute, whereas the original German used the masculine.
Lombardi told reporters Tuesday that he asked the pope whether he intended to refer only to male prostitutes. Benedict replied that it really didn't matter, the important thing was the person in question took into consideration the life of the other, Lombardi said.
"I personally asked the pope if there was a serious, important problem in the choice of the masculine over the feminine," Lombardi said. "He told me 'no.' The problem is this … It's the first step of taking responsibility, of taking into consideration the risk of the life of another with whom you have a relationship."
"This is if you're a man, a woman, or a transsexual. We're at the same point. The point is it's a first step of taking responsibility, of avoiding passing a grave risk onto another," Lombardi said.
[…]In the book, the pope was not justifying or condoning gay sex, condoms as a means of artificial contraception or heterosexual sex outside of a marriage. He reaffirms the Vatican opposition to homosexual acts and artificial contraception and reaffirms the inviolability of marriage between man and woman.
But by broadening the condom comments to also apply to women, the pope is saying that condom use is a lesser evil than passing HIV onto a partner even when pregnancy is possible.
"We're not just talking about an encounter between two men, which has little to do with procreation. We're now introducing relationships that could lead to childbirth," Martin said.
The Catholic Church hasn't quite joined us in the 21st century, but making it to the 20th century is a good first step. This decision will save countless of lives, even if it is just a publicity ploy to distract people from their child molestation scandal.
…Sooooo, can someone explain to me how the concepts of the "infallibility of the Church" and "papal infallibility" meshes with "changing your mind"?

- Special Equipment
- a 2- to 2 1/2-quart shallow flameproof casserole dish (about 2 inches deep; not glass)
- Prepare chiles:
- Lay 4 chiles on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flames on high. Roast chiles, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened and chiles are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. (Or broil all 12 chiles on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat, turning, until skins are blackened, 8 to 10 minutes.) Transfer immediately to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Roast remaining 8 chiles in same manner, then let stand 20 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, peel chiles, then open flat and discard seeds and stems, wiping with paper towels or dunking in a bowl of water briefly, if necessary, to remove seeds. If chiles taste very spicy, cut out ribs with scissors to make them milder.
- Make tomato sauce:
- Purée tomatoes with juice, garlic, cilantro, sugar, and salt in a blender. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then add sauce (be careful of splattering) and simmer, stirring, until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, about 6 minutes.

- Spread 1/4 cup tomato sauce over bottom of casserole dish. Arrange half of tortillas on top, then spread another 1/4 cup tomato sauce on top and sprinkle evenly with black beans. Arrange 4 poblanos flat over black beans to cover, then spread half of spinach filling evenly over chiles and drizzle with 1/4 cup goat cheese sauce. Make another layer with 4 chiles, remaining spinach filling, and another 1/4 cup of goat cheese sauce, then cover with remaining 4 chiles.
- Cover chiles with remaining tomato sauce, spreading evenly, then top with remaining tortillas. Cover tortillas with remaining goat cheese sauce, spreading evenly.
- Bake lasagne, covered with foil, in middle of oven until bubbling and heated through, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat broiler. Remove foil and broil about 3 inches from heat until top is bubbling and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes.

Addiction takes over a person's life, and all he or she can think about is taking drugs. Instead of setting goals for the future and enjoying the present, addicts are worried about getting their next fix. Consider the top reasons to enter drug rehab centers in Prescott Arizona.
Drugs Are Dangerous
Some people are addicted to drugs such as meth or heroin, which can lead to serious health issues and death. As people become increasingly addicted, they neglect to consider the dangers that exist every time they reach for the drugs. A rehab center puts an end to this life-threatening cycle and gives addicts a chance to get clean.
Detoxing from drugs is a painful process that may require a patient to take other medications. At a rehab center, patients have access to the medical care and supervision they need to detox. And professionals are available to help them through the rough times.
Time Away from the Pressure
Often people engage in drug use with others who are part of their current social circle. Each time they see these people, they are reminded of drugs and get the urge to take them. A rehab center takes addicts away from the pressure so they can be on their own for awhile.
Deal With the Whole Person
Beyond taking drugs, there are often emotional or mental reasons why people became addicted. At a rehab center, they focus on helping the whole person. Addicts discover more about how they feel, what lead them to drugs, and how they can stop taking them.
Change Addiction Patterns
Once the potential causes are identified, counseling helps patients change the addiction patterns. People learn how to live a life free from addiction. And they have hope for a clean and bright future without depending on drugs.
Whether a person is an addict or loves someone who is, help is available today. Reach out to an Arizona rehab center to find out more about how they help addicts and get them to be free from addiction. When addicts get the help they need, they can face the present to find a brighter future.

How To Identify Vintage Mustang Distributors
Distributors for classic Mustangs are getting harder to find. Here's how to spot the right one for your Mustang.
A couple of months ago, while replacing a worn-out 289 with a Smeding Performance 347 stroker small-block for the Nov. '05 article "Replace a 289 with a 347," we found ourselves in need of a replacement distributor. No problem, we thought as we headed down to the local AutoZone. But there was a problem, as we discovered when the counterman whipped out a rebuilt distributor from an '80s 5.0L.
At first glance, these later-model distributors look similar to vintage small-block distributors, and in fact, they will drop in and work with an older 289 or 302. But on closer inspection, we noted that the newer distributors have several differences, most notably the square opening for the wiring grommet. Granted, you can make it work with the round grommet used for vintage Mustangs, but we preferred a round opening for the proper harness/grommet fit--as well as the resulting neater appearance--with our PerTronix Ignitor kit. In addition, a vintage distributor would assist with our goal of a factory-engine appearance.
A quick call to Mike Ulrey was all it took to locate a rebuilt '66 distributor, but the process started us thinking, how do you recognize vintage Mustang distributors? Fortunately, Ulrey had the answers.
Basically, there were four different types of distributors from '64 1/2 to '73. In '641/2, the distributors were marked FoMoCo and are easily recognized by the capped oil hole for lubricating the distributor shaft. In '65 through most of '67, Mustang distributors were also FoMoCo, followed by a switch to Autolite later in the '67 model year. The Autolite distributors were used through the '71 model year until they were replaced by Motorcraft versions, which were used in '72-'73 and for a number of years after as service replacements.
Of course, from '641/2-'66, all V-8 Mustangs were small-blocks. But in '67, the big-block was added to the Mustang's engine lineup, resulting in the need to recognize small-block and big-block versions. Thankfully, they are easy to differentiate. Small-block and 429 distributors have two cast rings, as Ulrey calls them, on the shaft portion of the body, while FE big-blocks have three. Also, note that 289/302s (including Boss 302) and FE big-blocks have a small shaft, while 351 Windsors, 351 Clevelands, and 429s have a larger shaft.
All vintage Mustang distributors used a cast gear on the end of the shaft. When using a vintage distributor in a 5.0 or other late-model engine with a billet-steel camshaft, the cast gear must be replaced with a billet steel gear.
Ulrey also notes that all Mustang V-8 distributors used a long bushing for the top of the shaft. From '641/2 to '68, the distributors also utilized a smaller lower bushing, which was discontinued in '69, most likely for cost reasons. This led to early failure for many distributors. All distributors rebuilt by Ulrey come with the lower bushing for added stability and durability.
The vast majority of Mustang distributors were of the single-point variety. Dual-point versions were used with performance engines like the 289 Hi-Po, Boss 302 and 429, 428 CJ four-speed, 429 CJ, and some four-barrel 351 Clevelands, including the Boss and HO. As you might expect, those distributors are rare and very valuable today as a result.
The '65-'67 289 Hi-Po distributors feature centrifugal advance so they don't have a vacuum diaphragm. However, nearly every other Mustang distributor used vacuum advance. Early on, single diaphragm units were used, with dual diaphragm added to most engines in '68 to assist with emissions. FE big-blocks with automatic transmissions continued to use single diaphragms through '70.
All Mustang production and service distributors have a casting number and date code, both of which help to identify the units. The casting number identifies the distributor right down to its specific application. For example, casting number C5GF-12127-A (the 12127 is cast into all distributor bodies, while the C5GF and A are stamped) indicates a unit that was originally used for a '65 Mustang with the 289 four-barrel engine and four-speed manual transmission.
To identify the application for model year, car line, engine, carburetion, transmission, and even emissions equipment in some cases, there were hundreds of different casting numbers for Mustang distributors. To decode them, use a cumbersome Ford Master Parts Catalog for your Mustang's year, or simplify matters by ordering a copy of the High Performance Ford Engine Parts Interchange from Cartech or one of the Ford Parts Identifier manuals from Warner-Roberts Products. Those books include identification numbers for many Ford parts.
The three or four-digit date code stamped below the casting number identifies when the distributor was produced. For '641/2-'67 FoMoCo distributors, the first number is the year (5 equals 1965, and so on), the second digit is a letter for the month (A for January, B for February, and so on, with the exclusion of I), and the third digit is a letter for the week of the month (A is the first week, B for the second, and so on). The later Autolite and Motorcraft distributors follow the same pattern for the first two digits, but the last digit or digits indicates the day of the month. For example, an Autolite distributor with date code 8M11 was produced on December 11, 1968.
Unless you're preparing a vintage Mustang for concours competition, the date code and even the casting number is not that important. However, if you want a vintage appearance and the correct access hole for your factory wire or PerTronix harness, this guide will help you find the right distributor.

Generic Company Place Holder Ski Safari
For me, Tiny Wings sets the gold standard for what a casual game should be on the iOS platform. It's simple to control, fun to play, and the in-game mini-challenges you need to conquer in order to level up keep you coming back for more. It's been a long search trying to find a game that gives Tiny Wings a run for its money, but I think Ski Safari from Defiant Development is more than up to the task. In fact, in some ways, it even betters the Tiny Wings experience.
Ski Safari begins with an avalanche that jostles a poor mountain-dweller named Sven out of bed. Fortunately, Sven apparently goes to sleep with skis on, so he's going to try to escape the avalanche by skiing to safety—it's up to you to keep Sven one step ahead of his otherwise icy doom while also navigating the hills, dips, launching pads, and other alpine obstacles thrown up in your way.
Game controls couldn't be more simple: Tapping makes Sven jump, which you need to do a lot to avoid crashing into rocks and cabins. Tapping and holding causes Sven to flip—you get bonuses for successfully completing a backflip (or two). In fact, the game is full of potential bonuses for skiing off the roofs of cabins, skipping over rocks, collecting coins, and even skimming off of clouds; these feats of derring-do not only earn you points, but also boost your multiplier, helping you rack up an even higher score as you progress down the mountain. And if you should happen to wipe out, don't panic: Just tap the screen until Sven is upright again—assuming the onrushing snow doesn't catch up to him first.
Ski Safari also incorporates woodland creatures into the action, as penguins, eagles, and yetis look to avoid the avalanche as well. Zoologists may cringe at the thrown-together fauna, but you'll want to hop on the backs of your feathered and furry friends for a ride down the mountain. Not only will it earn you bonus points and increased multipliers, but it will help put some distance between you and the avalanche.
If that's all that Ski Safari offered, it would be a decent, if somewhat easy-to-forget game. But the app takes a page out of the Tiny Wings playbook by adding mini-challenges within the game that you complete to boost yourself to a new level. (New levels increase the maximum multiplier you can earn and introduce new animals at the start to help put some distance between you and the avalanche.) In the case of Ski Safari, those challenges include everything from collecting a certain number of coins to performing a quadruple backflip to smashing through a set number of distance markers. However, Ski Safari puts its own twist on the mini-challenge setup by letting you complete challenges at your own pace: All you have to do to level up is complete three challenges, for example, and the game doesn't care which ones those are. If you find it too difficult to fly an eagle through a cabin as Sven holds on for dear life—and it is very, very hard—just move on to the other challenges to boost your level. The mini-challenges add to the replayability of the game, while Ski Safari's flexibility with challenges reduces the chances that you'll run into an insurmountable task. As you progress through the game, you'll need to knock off more challenges to move up a level—just another way that Ski Safari keeps you coming back for more.
Ski Safari runs the same on both the iPad and iPhone, though this is one instance where the iPhone's smaller screen space works to its advantage, making the dangers of the avalanche feel more immediate. On the iPad's larger screen, the game feels a little out of place. That's another way of saying that Ski Safari lacks the sort of graphic embellishments you'll find in other iOS games. Then again, it really doesn't need them—this is an App Store offering that flourishes thanks to its outstanding gameplay.

We'll be serving this during the Tales of the Cocktail panel I've somehow snuck on with the following esteemed gentlemen: Jamie Bourdreau(!), Paul Clarke(!), and John Deragon(!). Huh, that is odd, B, C, D, and E? Were they just going alphabetically? I'm not entirely sure what exact cocktails the other gentleman are making, but I've heard rumors of a new version of Jamie's Amer Picon replica, some whispering from John about Bacon Fat Washed Bourbon, and Paul seems to be infusing enough Tequila por Mi Amante to make nearly the whole remaining population of New Orleans a drink.
Hope to see you there!

All of our candles are hand-poured to order, and will ship within 2-3 business days. However, we will always ship sooner when possible.
This listing is for a 4 oz candle in a gold tin. It has an approximate burn time of 20-30 hours. The tin measures 2.5" diameter x 1.75"H.
Our candles are hand-poured in our studio in Oakland, CA. Making our products ecologically friendly is just as important to us as making beautifully scented candles. All of our candles are made with clean-burning, American-grown soy wax. We use natural cotton and paper wicks. Our scents are derived from a blend of essential oils and phthalate free fragrance oils. Our glass tumblers are reusable, as well as recyclable. Once your candle has burned to the end, simply wash the container with warm, soapy water. Voila, it's ready for its next incarnation!
To get the best performance from your candle, let the wax melt completely to the edges on each burn. This is especially important the first time the candle is lit. This can take several hours, but ensures that the wax will melt completely on future burns. The wick should be trimmed to 1/8" before lighting.
Please exercise caution when burning candles. Never leave a candle burning unattended. Place candle on a heat-safe surface well away from anything flammable. Containers will become hot, please allow to cool completely before handling.

The San Antonio Symphony sends an email to first-time attendees the week after their first concert and we ask for feedback. We use this feedback to improve the quality of the concert experience.
This week I was struck by the answers to one of the questions after our concert with Dvo?ák's Symphony No. 8. First we asked if they would recommend the Symphony. Then we asked, "What do you say when you recommend the Symphony to a friend or to family members?" Here are seven responses:
How passionate it is. I personally had a stressful week but once the orchestra went on it was therapy to my soul.
A very pleasant and soothing experience–almost like a spa experience without the water.
I will tell my family and friends that the music was outstanding. You can feel the emotions that were coming from all the musicians as well as the conductor. It was a beautiful experience.
That it's an enchanting and absorbing experience.
It was an outstanding evening of entertainment.
It was beautiful!
I was really impressed and surprised. I attended because I had an opportunity to expose my 16 year old daughter to something 'unfamiliar' and thought it would be a good idea. In reality – I have never attended either and wasn't so sure I would even enjoy it. Both of us were pleasantly surprised – we thought it was extremely good – we were impressed with the skill of the musicians and the passion of the conductor. We both would definitely attend again. Don't be afraid – even if you love rock – the music will still move you.
Another question asks what was influential in their decision to purchase concert tickets. What is most striking is how critical WORD OF MOUTH is for the arts. Over 52% of our survey respondents said that a recommendation from a friend was either very influential or influential in their purchase. So please spread the word when you like a concert! The next opportunities for you to enjoy the Symphony and to tell your friends are:

NanoLogix Rapid TB Detection Results Published In Journal of Microbial & Biochemical Technology
Major Third-party R&D lab achieves 5-day Tuberculosis detection, compared to weeks for standard tests
Hubbard, OH -December 17, 2012 -- NanoLogix (OTC Markets: NNLX) An independent third-party study by one of the foremost Biomedical Research centers in the U.S has demonstrated that NanoLogix's BioNanoPore (BNP) Ultra-Fast Identification Technology enables detection of live Tuberculosis cultures in five days as opposed to two+ weeks with traditional methods.
The peer reviewed study appears in the online edition of the Journal of Microbial & Biochemical Technology. "http://www.omicsonline.org/1948-5948/pdfdownload.php?download=JMBT-04-147.pdf"
The authors conclude: "Ideally, highly accurate diagnostic tests for TB would be simple to perform, not require specialized equipment or facilities, provide rapid results for decreased time to treatment, are readily available, and cost-effective for the end user. These qualities are especially important in developing or high-TB burdened countries where the access and ability to purchase specialized equipment is limited, and number of trained personnel is low. The results of the present study demonstrate a proof-of-principal for BNP™ Middlebrook in detecting TB compared to the Middlebrook 7H10 reference test and should be considered as an ideal candidate for future evaluation of clinical samples."
Current rapid detection methods using PCR (molecular diagnostic) technology have a number of limitations in the fight against TB. They are unable to differentiate between live actual infection, and presence of dead bacteria in immune patients. Furthermore, PCR technology is very expensive, and needs specially trained personnel to perform testing, something not available, or even feasible, in the areas of the world most in need. Furthermore, even with PCR, the standard still requires culture positivity, which currently is a 3-4 week process. In addition, drug sensitivity is equally as important as identification, and early results using our BNF technology are extremely encouraging, taking only a few hours after bacterial identification.
Potential for the use of BNP technology is vast, said Bret T. Barnhizer, CEO of NanoLogix. "In addition to BNP's use in detecting many other bacteria, we see this technology as potentially providing both a standalone method for determining the presence of an actual TB infection and also a complementary method that can be used with either our BioNanoFilter (BNF) technology or molecular diagnostics methods for initial TB screening. We hope that our BNP rapid culture results will make it possible to finally monitor antibiotic treatment for TB in a close-to-real-time manner that is currently unavailable to practitioners. This ability could provide major assistance in the ongoing campaign to combat the scourge of Tuberculosis. We are committed to helping wipe out this horrible disease that takes over one million lives a year. As a partner in the Stop TB Alliance, we look forward to working further with them and WHO officials in a real effort to eradicate TB."

IT Labor Shortage or Not, Gaps RemainBy Ericka Chickowski Print
Baseline takes a look at specific areas of IT job shortages.
The debate over whether there are sizeable IT labor shortages in the United States is challenging and complex. There has been plenty of discussion on H-1B visas, a purported lack of computer science graduates and a cry from the human resources industry that many jobs in technology simply cannot get filled.
Nearly one in four CIOs polled by Robert Half International in a recent survey said finding skilled IT professionals is their greatest staffing challenge. It's gone so far that major company heads like Bill Gates of Microsoft have urged the U.S. government to increase the number of H1-B visas to help fill gaps.
But to hiring managers looking for very specific qualifications, it really doesn't matter whether there are copious amounts of technology drones in the workforce. It only matters whether their organizations can find just the right workers for the jobs at hand.
Many technology recruiters and industry association insiders believe that even though there may be enough sheer numbers of IT workers out there applying for jobs, there are still definite gaps in select skill sets that employers require to keep their IT departments running smoothly.
"It seems from the conversations we have with organizations and with both members with CompTIA and from companies that are not members but hire IT people is that there are shortages of certain skills and companies are having difficult times finding people with the right skill set," says Steven Ostrowski, director of corporate communications for the Computer Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), which frequently conducts employment surveys.Unsurprisingly, some decidedly nontechnical skills are tops on most people's list of difficult-to-find qualifications among IT workers.
"There's a dearth of real talent in the IT management world, and the reason for that is that the best IT pros tend to stay out of management," says Dan Martineau, principal at Martineau Recruiting Technology.
Ostrowski agrees, explaining that soft skills, like management, communication and understanding of business processes, are among the most lacking in the IT talent pool that CompTIA sees.
*Is there really an IT labor shortage? Some punch serious holes in to the figures.
"What we're finding and what we're hearing is that companies no longer want people just with strong technical skills," he says. "They need to have a combination of technical, and business knowledge in that understanding how it fits into the business interests or the business operations of the organization they work for."
Ostrowski explains that in today's tight economic times, many businesses are looking to squeeze as much value as they can out of their existing IT infrastructure.
"So they need people who can tell them how to take what they have today and make it work to its optimum capacity so that they can either become more productive as a business or reduce costs as a business," he says. "And if an employee doesn't understand how technology fits into the whole business scheme of things, then they're not much use to their employer as an IT worker."
Martineau concurs: "I think talented IT pros with strong business knowledge, understanding and exposure to the business will always be in high demand. Because you have to partner with the business, you have to understand the business perspective to really successfully deploy technology these days."
The problem is, Martineau explains, that many IT workers have not adjusted their career strategy to fit the needs of their employers.
"Starting in the early 1990s, how many articles were written to people that said 'God forbid you lose your technical skills, [and] if you lose your technical skills, you're toast'?" Martineau says. "Now, for the first time, with the advent of offshoring and outsourcing, it's gone the other way, where it's like, 'God forbid you lose your management skills,' because if you're just a coder, you're toast."

Full-Access is gained to the cabinetry interior by the absence of the cabinetry face frame. This allows for more utilization of a cabinet's interior space when accessory items are selected. Reveals between doors and drawer fronts are 1/8", with a 1/16" reveal on the outer edges. This creates a contemporary look with clean horizontal and vertical lines. Doors pivot within the cabinet width, thereby eliminating the need for odd-overlays given the Blum, self-closing, 120 degree hinge with Blumotion.

2012 Releases
By Frédéric DelavierISBN: 978-1-4504-1989-5Binding: PaperbackPages: Approx. 352Price: $21.95Available: March 2012
CHAMPAIGN, IL—To be successful in building muscle, people taking part in strength training activities need to keep their focus on the elements that directly stimulate muscle growth. This may sound like common sense, but according to powerlifting champion Frédéric Delavier, many of the things people think of as important regarding strength training—such as lifting heavier weights, doing additional repetitions, and completing more sets—are actually no more than the means to an end. "If you want to make training productive, you must be sure that you truly understand and not lose sight of the final goal, which is muscle development," Delavier says.
Delavier, whose first book, Strength Training Anatomy, has sold more than a million copies worldwide, pinpoints five factors that stimulate muscle growth. They are featured in his forthcoming title, The Strength Training Anatomy Workout II, a more advanced way of creating power and mass that expands on his first edition:
Focusing on more elaborate techniques that people with experience in strength training can use to accelerate their progress and build more power and mass, The Strength Training Anatomy Workout II features 60 exercises, 19 stretches, and 9 programs, along with 1,200 full-color photos and 160 of Delavier's unparalleled illustrations.
For more information, see The Strength Training Anatomy Workout II.
Frédéric Delavier is a gifted artist with an exceptional knowledge of human anatomy. He studied morphology and anatomy for five years at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and studied dissection for three years at the Paris Faculté de Médecine.
The former editor in chief of the French magazine PowerMag, Delavier is currently a journalist for the French magazine Le Monde du Muscle and a contributor to several other muscle publications, including Men's Health Germany. He is the author of the best-selling Strength Training Anatomy and Women's Strength Training Anatomy.
Delavier won the French powerlifting title in 1988 and makes annual presentations on the sport applications of biomechanics at conferences in Switzerland. His teaching efforts have earned him the Grand Prix de Techniques et de Pédagogie Sportive. Delavier lives in Paris, France.
Michael Gundill, MBA, has written 13 books on strength training, sport nutrition, and health. His books have been translated into multiple languages, and he has written over 500 articles for bodybuilding and fitness magazines worldwide, including Iron Man and Dirty Dieting. In 1998 he won the Article of the Year award at the Fourth Academy of Bodybuilding Fitness & Sports Awards in California.
Gundill started weightlifting in 1983 in order to improve his rowing performances. Most of his training years were spent completing specific lifting programs in his home. As he gained muscle and refined his program, he began to learn more about physiology, anatomy, and biomechanics and started studying those subjects in medical journals. Since 1995 he has been writing about his discoveries in various bodybuilding and fitness magazines all over the world.

History and mission
Gold discoveries in the early 1900s brought sudden changes to the Tanana Valley. In 1906 the hill where UAF now stands became part of a federal Agricultural Experiment Station, and in 1915 U.S. Congress approved money and transferred a piece of land from this station to establish a school of higher education. On May 3, 1917, with a stroke of his pen, Alaska Territorial Gov. John Strong signed the bill to create the institution now known as the University of Alaska. With a federal land grant, the institution began as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines with research and teaching in support of agriculture and mining as its focus. The Alaska Territorial Legislature added funding, and in 1922, when construction of the first building was completed, the college opened its doors to students. In the first year, a faculty of six offered 16 classes to a student body of six. Commencement in 1923 consisted of a single graduate.
The institution quickly began to grow. In 1931 the federal government transferred the entire Agricultural Experiment Station to the college. In 1935 the Alaska Territorial Legislature changed the institution's name to the University of Alaska to reflect the school's expanding role in research, teaching and public service for all Alaska. By then, faculty and course offerings had grown to include a range of liberal arts, science and engineering.
Our students come first in our priorities of teaching, research, and service about natural resources, forestry, high latitude agriculture, and geography.
SNRE educates students for a wide range of career opportunities in agribusiness, government, public service agencies, retail and service industries, human health institutions, the food service and processing industry, financial institutions, youth development agencies, conservation and environmental organizations, farming and, ranching, research, extension, communication, and education. The school covers a broad education in professional knowledge areas combined with foundation courses to develop a well-rounded academic experience.
As the primary land-grant component of the university, SNRE administers a variety of programs and engages in cooperative efforts with federal, state, and borough governments and agencies.

Earth : Asia : Central Asia : Tajikistan : Pamirs
The Pamir mountains, or Pamirs, are in south eastern Tajikistan, near the border with Afghanistan.
Other destinations
Get in
You could take a flight from Dushanbe to Khorog. There is a 14 seater flight every morning to Khorog, but its departure depends on weather conditions and the number of passengers. Tickets to the flight are sold a day in advance at the Dushanbe airport.
You could share/hire a jeep from the jeep stand near the airport in Dushanbe to Khorog. This will take between 13 and 21 hours and privately hiring a jeep costs around $400.
From Khorog you can hitch on a fuel tanker or truck on its way back to Kyrgyzstan, or hire your own vehicle from Khorog. Its also possible to get an occasional shared van to Murghab and from there to Osh. Most days will also see a jeep or share taxi head towards Ishkashim. Hitchiking on the Pamir highway requires patience. The first vehicle with space will give you a ride, but as with many places in the former Soviet Union you are expected to pay for the ride. It can take anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days to get a ride. There many only be 2 or 3 vehicles going in your direction each day.
Get around
Same as getting in.
Rice, eggs, snacks, yak butter, bread, mutton, Pamiri tea (sheer-chai), freshly made warm bread (non).
Tea, surprisingly good coffee, and vodka. Yak milk.
There are a number of homestays in most villages on the Pamir highway. They are usually in homes built in traditional Pamiri style. They are made with wood, with five pillars, a sky light and richly decorated with carpets. You are ensured great hospitality and simple but delicious meals.
Stay safe
A zealous policeman in Murghab may want to register you with the police or complain if you were taking photos. This isn't a problem, registration should be known well enough simply getting to the area.
There is some risk of altitude sickness.
Get out
Same as getting in, either back to Khorog or onto Kyrgyzstan. There is currently no border open with China.

A Stimulus Plan For Venture Capital? No Thanks.
Tom Friedman, who I admire in many ways, has an op-ed piece in today's NY Times where he suggests that the US government take the bailout money they are thinking of giving to the auto industry and instead give it to the top venture capital firms.
Call up the top 20 venture capital firms in America, which are short of
cash today because their partners — university endowments and pension
funds — are tapped out, and make them this offer: The U.S. Treasury
will give you each up to $1 billion to fund the best venture capital
ideas that have come your way. If they go bust, we all lose. If any of
them turns out to be the next Microsoft or Intel, taxpayers will give
you 20 percent of the investors' upside and keep 80 percent for
I understand the point Tom is making – that we ought to be investing in the future instead of the past. And for that, I applaud him.
But the venture capital business, thankfully, does not need any more capital. It's got too much money in it, not too little. Just ask the limited partners who have been overfunding the venture capital business for the past 15-20 years what they think. You don't even need to ask them. They are taking money out of the sector because the returns have been weak.
And the top 20 firms in the venture capital business are the least in need of a bailout of any group I've ever thought about. These firms, the Sequoias and Benchmarks and Accels and Kleiner Perkins etc etc can raise a fund anytime they want. Accel raised a ton of money last fall in the midst of the worst global financial meltdown in my lifetime.
The venture capital business is an asset class where the top 10-20 percent of the firms make 80%+ of the returns. That's how its always been and that's how it will likely always be. It's because the best entrepreneurs want to work with firms with reputations for making money, making connections, recruting top talent, and getting the right exit at the right time. And those are the top 10-20 percent of the firms.
So Tom's idea, while it looks good on paper, is a dream. The top venture firms don't want, don't need, and are never going to take government money. The same is true of the top entrepreneurs.
The worst firms, on the other hand, will gladly accept government money. And that is what is going to happen with all of these government efforts to pour more money into the "innovation sector". That money will go to bad investors and weak entrepreneurs and management teams for the most part. It's a problem of adverse selection.
If you take a look at all of the economically targeted investment programs that have been built and managed over the past twenty years in the venture capital industry, you'll see this plain and clearly.
There are some good ideas out there. My friend Brad Feld told me about a new legislative effort in Colorado to give angel investors a 50% tax credit for making investments in early stage companies. That makes better sense to me. Let the market work but lubricate it a bit with tax credits, particularly for the angel sector which has been the most hurt in this downturn.
But please leave the venture business alone. It's working pretty well as it is and it certainly doesn't need more money or some kind of stimulus plan.

"The Time Traveler's Almanac" features acclaimed Colorado writers, reading on South Broadway
It's easy to believe publishing house Tor when it claims "The Time Traveler's Almanac" is the largest and most definitive collection of time-traveling stories ever assembled.
The galley for the book, which arrived in my mailbox last week in a bulbous package more suitable for a pot roast than a work of fiction, is nearly 950 pages of dense, clever, harrowing, funny, insane, brilliant stories from many of the world's best sci-fi and spec fiction writers.
From late titans to worthy up-and-comers, the book collects more than 70 stories about the liquidity of our perceptual condition from writers Douglas Adams, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ray Bradbury, George R.R. Martin, William Gibson, Richard Matheson, H.G. Wells and dozens more. Edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, the "Almanac" has already earned praise in the U.K. and will be released in the States on March 18.
"So where can I get one?" you ask while you slip on your time-goggles and reflective silver jumpsuit and contemplate the maddening nature of time's fickle path.

I just read on Twitter about someone receiving a whole lot of paper literature in the post from their local council… explaining the importance of recycling! The best bit was that the literature included a voucher which expired 3 months ago!
Again, it's a minefield when you're in the realms of environmental issues, but you really need to consider the whole message you're sending out, not just the printed one. How about a single Buy Cipro Online postcard directing people to a micro-site? Get your key points across and those who are bothered can learn more. Or maybe a "green" gift ? More expensive that paper no doubt, but there were apparently quite a few brochures and booklets in the pack, all which need to be professionally designed and printed.
Come on councils, a bit of imagination please!

Plane taking fans to Shakhtar game crashes, kills at least 5
At least five people were killed when a plane carrying supporters to a European soccer match in eastern Ukraine overshot the runway and broke up when it attempted an emergency landing late on Wednesday, officials said.
The twin-engined Antonov turboprop was bringing 45 passengers and crew on a charter flight from the Black Sea coastal city of Odessa to Donetsk - most of them fans looking forward to attending a Champions League clash between the Ukrainian home team Shakhtar and Germany's Borussia Dortmund.
The emergencies ministry, quoted by Interfax news agency, said the aircraft overshot the landing strip at Donetsk airport which an eyewitness said was shrouded in thick fog at the time. It overturned and broke up.
Apart from the five people confirmed dead, 12 others had been injured, the ministry said.
Andriy Shyshatsky, head of Donetsk's regional administration speaking before a fifth dead was confirmed, said the majority of passengers had been saved.
"One person is visible in the wreckage, but we don't yet know whether he is alive or not. We are searching for one other person," Shyshatsky told journalists.
An airport source quoted by Interfax said a stewardess who had been at the rear of the plane was unaccounted for.
A minute of silence was observed for the dead at the start of the Champions League match.
There was no immediate word on why the flight crew had had to make an emergency landing. But a survivor of the crash, quoted by Interfax, said there had been a fire on board which had been brought under control.
This was not immediately confirmed by officials.

Hello all,
I'm currently using an Alpha DAO connection via a ODBC driver to connection to my CRM data which creates Active Link tables.
All is good to retrieve the tables, however when editing a record I'm getting the following error. I left all of the
setting to update a record as standard from Alpha. Is there a error log I can set to see what is not working?
I've test the connection with the ODBC driver with SQL DBX free version and all works fine with updating so I think it is a setting with Alpha?
Thank John

Laboratory diagnostic machines
Laboratory diagnostic machines are automated devices that perform chemical and biological tests. They are used in hospital laboratories to measure the chemical properties (and other characteristics) of patient samples such as blood, tissue, DNA or urine. The machine's analysis tells doctors if a patient has a certain disease or condition.
Diagnostic tests were carried out by hand by hospital laboratory technicians until the 1950s. They were slow, expensive and mistakes occurred. Automated machines revolutionised laboratory diagnosis. One of the first was the AutoAnalyzer, invented by Leonard Skeggs in 1951. He wanted a faster way to manage blood testing within his hospital laboratory, so he built a mechanical device able to perform one blood test per minute. The 'Robot Chemist' was invented by Hans Baruch in the 1950s. This machine also automated blood analysis, and was the first laboratory machine to give a digital print-out of results.
More automated laboratory machines were developed from the 1960s. Developments in computers and robotics meant machines became more sophisticated. The sequential multiple analyser with computer could accurately process 20 tests every 24 seconds. Fast and accurate sample analysis made laboratory diagnosis more useful, and by the end of the 20th century machines had made the hospital laboratory crucial to medical practice.

Katy Perry + John Mayer Are Keeping Her Neighbors 'Wide Awake'
Katy Perry, who turns 28 today (Oct. 25), and her on-again, off-again beau John Mayer are reportedly keeping her neighbors 'Wide Awake,' like her song of the same name.
Not because they are collaborating or are literally making beautiful music together, but because they seem to be having some loud sex late at night. Additionally, the duo keeps late hours and plays music… loudly. Uh oh. That's not very neighborly behavior.
Star reports that Perry's West Hollywood neighbors are fed up with the pop duo's antics and do not seem impressed by either artist's fame. They "have very loud sex, keep very late hours and like to turn up the tunes" (quotes courtesy of Hollywood Life). They are famous and have crazy schedules, and probably don't realize that the people who surround them don't.
While it must suck to be Perry's neighbor to have to listen to all that noise, all of the time, at least the singer has found some romantic happiness almost a year after splitting with comedian hubby Russell Brand. We weren't sure that she and Mayer would last, given his serial dating history (and his tendency to blab about his romances in the press) and hers.
Hopefully they can reach a compromise with the neighbors and tone it and turn it down!
