Michael Easter called me out over Twitter tonight, entirely fairly. This blog post is to attempt to make right.
Context: Tonight was a .NET Developer Association meeting in Redmond, during which we had two presentations: one on Entity Framework, and one on F#. The talk on F#, while well-meaning and delivered by somebody I've not yet met personally, suffered from several failures that I believe to be endemic to Microsoft's approach to presenting F#. I don't fault the speaker—I think Michael was set up to fail from the very beginning. Thus, I decided that it was time for me to "put up" and describe the structural failures I've seen in several talks attempting to describe F# to the general .NET computing community. (I think these could probably be generalized to presenting a new language to any general computing community, but I'll keep it focused on F# for now.)
In no particular order:
Again, I'm not faulting Michael (tonight's speaker): I think he bravely attempted what was likely to be a failure regardless of who was giving the talk. My hope is that as others start to step up to talk about F# to their coworkers and fellow user group members, this will help avoid a few more "Oh, so F# is totally irrelevant to me" reactions.

UK fishing's fat cats to be unmasked by the minister
Posted: June 18, 2012|
A long-awaited registry of exactly who owns the rights to land what fish in the UK is set to be made public after years of campaigning by Westcountry fishermen.
The disclosure, which will also note the nationality of the quota owner, has been promised by Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman in a bid to make the controversial process more transparent.
Dave Cuthbert, Plymouth-based chairman of the New Under Ten (metres) Fishermen's Association, said it was about time.
"This is long overdue," he said. "We have been asking for this for a long time and I think it will make very interesting reading."
The under-10 metre fleet, the exact opposite of the large, industrial scale boats run by many quota-owning companies, say they have been pressing the Government for a long time on the subject.
"We have been asking for this registry for two or three years," said Mr Cuthbert. "There are a lot of rumours around the industry about who has what quota, but nobody really knows for certain."
Under EU quota rules Britain can catch 600,000 tons of cod, haddock, herring and other species a year. However, many British fishermen given an individual quota in the 1980s have since sold it, often overseas.
Additionally, when boats have been decommissioned, fishermen are able to sell off their quotas – or even keep them until they attract a high enough bid.
The situation has created what Mr Cuthbert called "quota traders".
"There is a lot of movement of quota and it can be difficult to find out who has what," he said. "More than £122 million has been spent decommissioning fishing boats, but the fishermen are allowed to keep the quota and sell it on.
That has mean that there is a massive amount of quota which has sometimes ended up in the hands of just a few people."
Mr Cuthbert said publishing the nationalities of those who hold UK fishing quota would be "very interesting".
Lack of transparency in fishing quota ownership has led many to suspect UK allocations have been allowed to end up in foreign hands.
In April, two Spanish fishermen and two company directors appeared at Truro Crown Court to admit flouting European fishing quota laws in Westcountry waters.
Charges included conspiracy to defraud the Marine Management Organisation and other EU groups responsible for enforcing fishing laws by lying in log books and landing declarations to disguise the amount of fish they caught.
Mrs Spelman told the Sunday Times that the registry will be published next year.
"We have pledged to make public a register of who has the quota so there is transparency. We have given a commitment to publish that next year."
A spokesman for Defra told the Western Morning News: "We want to make fishing quota ownership more transparent and recently consulted on plans to introduce a quota register and quota trading website.
"We're currently looking at the comments received and how we will make this happen."

Australian cardinal: confessional seal is inviolable, even in abuse cases
Catholic World News - November 13, 2012
Cardinal George Pell of Sydney, Australia, has said that while the Church will cooperate with a federal commission investigating child abuse, priests will not break the seal of confession.
Someone who confesses sins involving abuse will not be reported to police by his confessor, the cardinal said. He explained that while an admission made outside the confessional would be reported, "the seal of confession is inviolable."
Cardinal Pell said that if a priest is aware that someone has been guilty of abuse, "the priest should refuse to hear the confession."
The cardinal said that he welcomed the federal investigation because it will "clear the air" and "separate fact from fiction" regarding the Church's response to sex-abuse complaints. He has said that media reports have portrayed the Church's role unfairly.

Parent Support Program
Supporting from a place of knowing, without judgement and with the intention of compassionate understanding
Parents of children newly diagnosed with special health care needs often want to talk with another parent of a child with the same or a similar diagnosis. The Parent Support Program (PSP) at Seattle Children's connects Washington State families who are in the beginning stages of learning about their child's special health care needs with parent volunteers who have experienced a similar situation.
The parent connections take place primarily over the telephone with the purpose of providing emotional, practical, and informational support.
Our program coordinator facilitates the one-on-one parent matches with a number of things in mind, including:
- Needs and concerns of the parent and family
- Child's diagnosis and age
- Type of treatment the child will experience
If we are unable to find a suitable match for you, we enlist the help of other community-based "Parent-to-Parent" programs and other support organizations throughout the state or nation.
For More Information:
If you are interested in participating in the Parent Support Program, please contact Lawrie Williams, PSP Coordinator, at (206 987-1119 or send her an email.

Pay No Attention to the Bad Data
Behind the curtain at the IPCC.
Oct 14, 2013, Vol. 19, No. 06 • By STEVEN F. HAYWARD
Thought experiment: Imagine you are a national security reporter, covering the release of a massive, 2,000-page report on domestic intelligence gathering activities and future threat assessment from the National Security Agency. But instead of issuing the full report, the NSA issues a 30-page "Summary for Policymakers" (SPM) written by political appointees at the Justice Department, promising that the full 2,000-page report will be released a few days later. Would you print a front-page story based only on the 30-page summary, or would you demand to see the full report?
dave malan
If you'd go with the politically massaged summary, then congratulations—you too can be an environmental reporter. Because that's exactly what the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) did on Friday, September 27, in Stockholm, releasing only the SPM while withholding the full report. And the media played along, generating predictable headlines over the weekend about the increasing certainty of climate scientists that humans are warming the world.
To be fair, if they had waited until Monday's release of the full Working Group I report on the current state of climate science, they'd have had to make sense of a jargon-filled report that Dutch scientist Arthur Petersen told the BBC "is virtually unreadable!" Churchill once quipped about a massive bureaucratic report that "by its very length, it defends itself against the risk of being read." The IPCC appears to be following this example.
It is important to understand that the IPCC report is not an original scientific inquiry but a wide-ranging literature review and "synthesis." The technical nature of climate science is such that only other scientists can possibly follow it, and even that is doubtful, as the specialized nature of so many aspects of climate science is beyond the grasp of scientists who work in widely scattered subfields. Whether the domain of climate science can be "synthesized" in this way is a debatable question.
A close reading of some of the key passages shows that it cannot bear the weight of the sensationalized parts of the SPM, at least as rendered in the media. One of the most misleading aspects of this story is the way in which the SPM conveys a "95 percent confidence" or certainty of its findings, as though this figure represented a rigorous or robust test familiar to first-year students of statistical correlation. The IPCC's methodology behind these conclusions is thoroughly opaque. When you strip away the fog, the IPCC admits these conclusions are "qualitative," and based essentially on a poll of the self-selecting participants in the IPCC review process itself.
This is like polling the Romney campaign staff about how confident they are their candidate will win the election, and representing it as
The late James Q. Wilson argued that social scientists should quit trying to predict the future because they can't predict the past. The climate science community might heed this advice. While the domain of climate science is highly complex, the heart of the enterprise is the calibration of climate models to explain the modest warming we have observed, mostly from 1960-98, which in turn is supposed to enable us to predict the future. Much was made in the media in recent weeks of how some governments were pressuring the IPCC to offer an explanation of the current 15-year "pause" in warming that is confounding the models. (This raises a curious question: Why do we need a "Summary for Policymakers" if policymakers determine what's emphasized in the summary? Clearly the SPM should be called by its true name: Summary for Headline Writers.) The "pause" is glossed over in the SPM, because the underlying chapters in the full report do their best to skip over this inconvenient fact.

There are a wide variety of nutrients in fruit and vegetables and the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables are plentiful!
Hi Elizabeth! I do not have a question, but just read your short article in a recent Giant Food publication on buying and eating more fruits and vegetables, and doing so within a practicle budget. I want to commend you for putting out the positive message that eating healthy can be done on a budget, and can many times be cheaper than buying prepared or processed foods. It seems like a lot of the information the media sends the public is "we all need to eat healthy – but it's going to cost you more!" I work in the fitness industry and am very conscious of nutritional and weight issues; I find the negative message of the "extra expense" of healthier foods to be a crock that just discourages people from making changes, in fact. As a wife/mom who has striven (is that a word?) to make heathy meals for my family on a very tight budget, I have learned that cooking from scratch with fresh ingredients is the key to keeping the grocery budget low and just plain feeling better. I found your article refreshing and I appreciate your work in this field Thank you and keep getting the message out.Friday, February 10th, 2012

chamorro comedy, Chamorro people, comedienne, Comedy, Kirida, laughter, mommy blogger, Mona, Naked Fish, Saipan
How to get the Coconut Underground (A.K.A. Chamorro Rumor Mill) started: whisper something to yourself.
Self: Mona is coming to Saipan and she's going to perform comedy at Naked Fish on March 30th at 6:30 pm.
Coconut Underground: Vrrrooooooom!!!
Okay, so that was a joke and it's pretty apparent that I am not funny, but Mona Concepcion is and she will be on Saipan on March 30th for a night of comedy at the Naked Fish Bar & Grill!! All the proceeds from the $10 cover charge will go to the Autism Society. I originally intended it to go to my Save the Mommy Fund, but that's pretty difficult to pitch. That, and I don't know who in their right mind would pay to expand my bathroom to include a jacuzzi. Autism is no laughing matter, and awareness efforts can never be vigorous enough, but for one night we can share an evening laughing for a good cause. Won't you join us?
By the way, did I tell you how awesome Naked Fish is? Totally awesome!! In addition to opening up their doors and providing live music for the evening, they will be donating 20% of all profit that night to the Autism Society!! Even though it sounds like the contribution of funds is the best part, let me assure you it's not. The hearts of the people involved in this are the most wonderful part about it and why I feel completely blessed to live in a multi-cultural, interdependent, extended, blended and caring community. Thank you Naked Fish!!! Thank you Butch Sigua!!!
Who is Mona? SHUT UP!! Mona is the only Chamorro FEMALE COMEDIENNE in EXISTENCE. This is probably due to the minimal representation of Chamorros in demographics worldwide, but it's TRUE! She's the only ONE folks and she's FUNNY. She's make-fun-of-your-Sears-loving-family funny. She's pick-on-your-husband funny. She's the only comedy act in the Seattle area that uses the word bebe without proper capitalization and the audience doesn't have a clue what she's talking about. BUT WE DO!! So, mark the date in the sand and set your sundials for a night of laughter. Yes, I realize that sundials can't be set for 6:30 pm. I'm super psyched because Mona's coming (and because I got to use lots of capital letters in this post).
Thank you to Mona for your comedy stylings, Ed Propst, Bison Relations, Larissa Larson and Butch Sigua @Naked Fish for making all this possible!

And here's yet another story, NY Firm, Attorney Fail to Execute Retainer , New York Lawyer (3/31/05) on the importance of a retainer agreement. The article reports on a suit by law firm Fenderstock & Partners against its former client, attorney Stephen Shapiro to recover fees for services that Fenderstock provided, ironically, to defend Shapiro against an action to disgorge fees. In contrast to the hapless attorney here, Fenderstock at least stands a chance of recovery, in part because Shapiro never timely objected to the multiple bills sent by Fenderstock. But both Shapiro and Fenderstock dispute the amount that Federstock originally agreed to charge and without a retainer, it comes down to one attorney's word against another – with both attorneys too dim to realize that they should have had a retainer agreement to begin with!

Publication Call for Papers Announcement
M/C: Special Issue "Augment"

CFPs: "Augment" Upcoming issue of M/C - Media and Culture (2013) Edited by Rebecca Caines and Michelle Stewart Contemporary lives are increasingly saturated with the promise of technological enhancement—augmentation. Whether medically-enhanced "cyborg" bodies, AR glasses, new surveillance and crowdsourcing tools, locative media on mobile phones and gaming consoles, wearable technologies, or immersive third spaces, augmentation is often entangled in discourses of supplement and improvement. Yet augmentation is also contradictory, the logic of technological perfection co-existing with the perception of weakness or a lack. And so from within this messy space of technologies, bodies and spaces, failure is both generative and productive. Always desiring, we create, enhance, and augment: never satiated, we experiment, refine and repeat. Somatic and spatial practices collide on the promise of something more. In this edition of M/C we seek to bring together theorists, practitioners and artists to consider the ways in which augmentation presents itself in the world and in their work. We welcome critical engagement with the philosophical, ethical and cultural implications of the augmented, cyborg and prosthetic body; interrogations of the layered information space of AR, critical reviews of augmented spatial practices; and explorations of the ways in which augmented media intersects with contemporary anxieties around power and statecraft. What is at stake when one engages in augmentation? Who/what pays the price when it falters, miscarries, or backfires? Which actors are engaged—or enrolled—in the practice? Which subjects are left vulnerable? We are particularly interested in cross-disciplinary investigations, mapping the points of connection and disruption in the application, reception and analysis of augmentation. We call upon our colleagues to discuss their forays into landscapes of prosthetics and cameras, Arduinos and QR codes, immersive zones and simulations, all the while collaborating with humans, cyborgs and nonhumans along the way. Prospective authors wishing to contribute to 'augment' should send a 250 word abstract, together with a brief biography, including any institutional or organizational affiliation, to the Editors at firstname.lastname@example.com by August 1, 2013.

Tell me more Belinda. You used hot glue instead of thick white but printed with it just the same as described in the book?
okay, what I did was use a hot glue gun and did some designs on plexi as per the book instead of using craft foam. I had a bunch of plexiglas sheets that I never used from I can't remember what. I drew different designs that Interested me. I discovered that for this applications fat, thick lines and globs worked better than skinny and thin. I didn't worry about strings. I let it cool completely. I did not have any dye handy so I used fabric paint and Lumiere that I had left over from silk screening with muslin. I had recently dyed a bunch of muslin with Adirondack color wash. I used that since it was handy and didn't have to root around for stuff. I used a cheap foam brush and slathered the fabric paint on. I didn't worry if it got on the plexiglas. I put a large sheet of plexiglas with a sheet of red rosin paper for drips. With the stamp face up, I laid the fabric on top of it. Instead of using a brayer (like the books says), I used my hands and gently pressed the fabric into the stamp and formed the fabric around the texture of the stamp. Yes, my hands got paint all over them once the paint absorbed through the fabric. I then lifted straight off and left it somewhere to dry. The trick is to have a lot of paint on the stamp for the fabric to pick up. If I only had a thin layer on the stamp, then the fabric absorbed it all in and did not get a good print. I think that using my hands and forming the fabric around the stamp texture gives it the more uneven organic look that the brayer cannot give it. I will have to try it next time with a brayer and see if my theory is crap or not. Clean-up was easy. I just ran it under warm water and gave it a little rub.
Thanks for the kind comments
Thank you so much for sharing the how-to for your very creative art!

about this proposal? Carol Morris wrote, "Why not, it's done in every other city. Anything that brings in revenue should surely help the service and lower bus fares. Do it." Ted Hoenig, cautions, "As long as the money stays with the bus system and doesn't end up in the general fund. Politicians like to bait and switch." But Scott Martin insists, "No,No and No!

At the very least........
by MikeInNC
Even IF nobama was born in Hawaii.....his dad was a British subject/national (or some similar status) at the time and I believe (from what I've read) that this would also prevent nobama from holding the office of POTUS.
If the truth ever comes out, and he's ineligible.....the democrats and lamestream media will take a fall of epic proportions.

Long before I was a backpacker, I toured various countries with a buddy, unsupported (just the two of us with our tents/sleeping bags/gear/maps/etc.). Usually three weeks at a time. I toured Scotland, Ireland, NE France, East Germany, New Zealand and Arizona like that, and Holland for a week.When I turned 50 a few years ago, I decided to celebrate with a 9-day bike tour with my buds (two of them) in Vermont. One of my buds, Thomi, lives in Heidelberg, but he was more than happy to fly over here and celebrate with me. I promised when he turned 50 I'd fly over to Germany and celebrate with him with a short bike tour. That's this year. I'll be there Aug. 18-28.Bike panniers are, in my opinion, notoriously overbuilt. And not the lightest things in the world. So I talked to, who else, Chris Zimmer about making some out of, what else, cuben. He did a fantastic job! Even made the top attachments exceptionally adjustable. Also had him make a small under-seat tool/tire bag. His wonderful craftsmanship is below.The seat bag weighs an ounce. I sent Chris an Ortlieb pannier to use as a model. I sent a front pannier, and asked him to size up to make rear panniers. My new rear cuben/dyneema panniers weighs 6.5 oz. each, which is about 1 lb. 2 oz. less than the front pannier I sent him. Way cool!The obligatory pics, seat bag first:..And now the pannier:.....
Edited by idester on 07/17/2011 17:10:59 MDT.
Doug I think you have a cuben problem....
"Doug I think you have a cuben problem...."Huh? I see cuben. I buy cuben. No problem! ;-)
out of pocket, out of mind...
on a serious bike note, check out revelate designs for frame bags, and other bike gear. sorry no cuben though
I'm guessing you're talking about touring on a road bike? Cuben wouldn't stand up to a serious mountain bike spill. :-)The products look great.
Edited by simplespirit on 07/17/2011 18:07:50 MDT.
Yup, road bike. I've never toured on a mountain bike - it's all been road touring. Forget the cuben panniers, my Koga-Miyata wouldn't do to well on trails either.... ;-)I have been thinking about getting a 29'er though: a Trek Superfly Elite. My riding buddy got one about a month ago, and it's seems to be a pretty awesome bike, so I think I'm gonna get me one! Can't take my Madone on the trails either!
Edited by idester on 07/17/2011 18:59:12 MDT.
Take a look at Jamis 29'ers or the Surly one.
I have a Surly Karate Monkey single-speed. It's the most pimped out Monkey you'll find. King hubs with Stan's rims, King headset, Avid Elixir CR brakes, Thomson seat post and stem, Easton carbon bars, and a RockShox Reba Race fork. Best part is I paid about 1/3 the cost of that Trek. :-)
Ah yes, but my hankering for cuben is nearly matched by my hankering for carbon fiber...... ;-) And at least the Trek is cheaper than the bamboo bike I was lusting after a couple of months ago!Though that Surly of yours sounds exceptionally sweet!
Edited by idester on 07/17/2011 19:14:35 MDT.
check out the Alaska Vid with the surly pugsley's. you'll forget about carbon
"check out the Alaska Vid with the surly pugsley's. you'll forget about carbon"Link! Link!
ohmygodIncredible. Who took the video?Simply incredible.
You know, some people (not me, of course) would say that instead of lightening up with cuben, you should just HTFU. But that's just some obviously rude people.......
check out roman's blog, he's in it.
"you should just HTFU"Well, I do ask Chris to use the heavier cuben......
Douglas, great looking packs! Mike Curiak took the video. He's a stud... you should google up some of his adventures.You'll LOVE the 29er on trail. Chris's recommendation to check out the Surly is a good one. You might also check out monstercross bikes since you have some experience with drop bar bikes. I have a Singular Peregrine that I love. Salsa makes a Fargo that is a similar bike that's very popular for bikepacking / touring as well.Don Meredith
Thanks Don! I'll check out the Peregrine and Salsa.
Holy cow! That is some beautiful gear. Great job Chris. I may try to be in touch with you as I am considering building a frame bag with the XPAC John a.k.a Newton has just shipped out to me via the PIF express :).Douglas,Can you take a picture of your touring rig loaded up with the panniers and seat bag attached?
Those panniers look incredible.My one concern would be the straps that attach them to the rack. I know the Ortlieb's use some pretty serious hardware for those critical attachment points.Have you had a chance to test these out in the real world yet? How secure were they under what conditions?
Doug,Assuming you have taken this setup for a test ride, what are your impressions of the pannier/rack attachment system? Looks like an elegant solution for what most pannier manufacturers make overly complicated. The daisy chain on the backside of the pannier seems to offer good adjustability. Is there anything you would change? Best,Chris
There is one big change I would make - I would put carrying handles on the top. I didn't have them, and without them it made carrying them up stairs and such a bit of a pain in the butt, and it also made it more difficult to attach them to the racks.The attachment system did not work out well at all (let me be clear that it was the system I asked for, not one Chris came up with). The whatever-they're-called wouldn't stay closed. I used shoelaces tied to the top rack for a couple of days until we could get a better replacement. I used a different strap system that worked out fine for the rest of the trip, but came away from the trip thinking that clips really are an easy way to go for putting panniers on racks. My buddy bought two sets of Ortlieb clips and mailed them to me - I'm going to rig them to the panniers next time I use them.Other than that, the panniers did great. Plenty of room, plenty durable (for road touring), I'll definitely use them next time I do a tour. Again, the only changes I'd make is to put handles on the top for carrying (I'll rig a sling for the one's I have) and I'm going to try the Ortlieb clips for attaching to racks.Hope this is helpful.
Great to see this, including the seatbag. I am always amazed at how a bike company will tout their new frame that weights 50 grams less than the old one, or use carbon brake levers to save 10g, or how their shoes are the lightest (by like 5g), yet sell a tiny seatbag, that will need to hold almost nothing, and make it out of the most ridiculously heavy fabrics and buckles!

Well, we have been live now for a few days with the new design and I am very pleased with the comments we have received and the results of some pretty darn hard work and planning on this one.
If you don't remember what the old design looked like, I have put an image of it here for your reference. It truly is a complete change. Not only the design but the plugins and features we added.
Here is a list of the plugins we are using:
We are also using Gravatar a WordPress feature which adds your very own avatar to your comment.
The plugins and features we are using on Blog For Profit are some we do plan to incorporate into our client's blogs. However, I wanted to be convinced myself they would work as promised and that they would not bog the blog down. So far I could not be happier with what we are doing.
One of our goals with the new design was to increase the feel and functionality of community on Blog For Profit. I want our visitors to become regular readers. And I want comments, comments and more comments on Blog For Profit.
We also want people to subscribe to either the RSS feed or by Email. And that is why we remind our readers as many times as we can without being to annoying. In fact, as you may have seen already, we now have a Blog For Profit Newsletter. Just one more effort to build the Blog For Profit community.
All in all, I am thrilled with what we have been able to do with all the great features and functions we have available with a WordPress blog. If you have any questions, please drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or leave a comment here.
In addition, please subscribe to our Newsletter. And if you are not subscribed to our blog, you can do so here.

Cindy Sheehan
Charles Rangel, Charlatan
September 04, 2009
The most up-to-date on-line bulletin Congressman Rangel produces for his constituents has a photograph of him being patted on the cheek by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Its latest dated item is August 28. But Rangel is now in such deep doodoo that not even Ms. Pelosi, who has a very high tolerance level for shmootz (see Jason Zengerle's article about Murthaville and John Murtha in the last hard-copy edition of TNR or in this space), will not be showing her affections for Harlem's representative to Congress any time soon. Still, she also can't bring herself to dump him.
Wow! Hot News About Cindy Sheehan And Nancy Pelosi!
July 10, 2007
...and how Universary of Minnesaota Political Science professor Kathryn Pearson is getting into their act. Cindy Sheehan, nutcake par excellence, may challenge Nancy Pelosi for her congressional seat if the Speaker doesn't back impeachment hearings for the president and his vice president. I actually thought that Sheehan, feeling betrayed by old allies and maybe gonzo exhausted, had withdrawn from politics entirely. Apparently not. Who is Kathryn Pearson? Read here. And please contact her ... she is desperate.
Cindy Sheehan, Syrian Hero
June 18, 2007
Courtesy of MEMRI, you can now learn how the Syrian democracy has taken up Cindy Sheehan as hero. A grieving mother over her son killed in Iraq, she was also a certified nutcase. She was taken up by the self-styled "netroots." But even some of them became mortified by what she said and who she really was. But the Syrians appreciate her.

10 Excellent Reasons Not to Join the Military Edited by Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg (The New Press, 128 pp., $14.95) Click here to purchase the book. When it comes down to it, military recruiters are salespeople, and like good car salesmen, good military recruiters conceal the downsides of their product. Of course with military recruitment the ante is upped: Being swindled into buying a lemon will set you back a chunk of change; a bad experience in the military will lead someplace worse than an auto mechanic's waiting room.

Mall Rats
October 10, 2005
Were Norman Mailer to pen a sequel to The Armies of the Night, his chronicle of a 1967 antiwar march on the Pentagon, his notes might read something like this: Good news and bad news to report from this weekend's protest in Washington against the Iraq war—good news because over 100,000 demonstrators turned out to voice their opposition to war, racism, and inequality; bad news because the loudest voices belonged to pre-adolescents. Yes, as I traverse the Mall on Saturday, I cannot escape 13- and 14-year-old girls with peace signs (and the occasional Mercedes logo) painted on their cheeks.

"All in favor signify by saying aye, opposed no, that item carries."
It was almost anti-climactic. The BARC contract with consultant Gerry Fusco has been at the center of debate for more than a month.
But the council quietly approved the contract with justξa handful of comments. Councilmember Mike Sullivan started things off by addressing Gerry Fusco, who wasn't actually at the meeting.
"And I'd like to just publicly apologize to him from the District E council office for all that he's been put through the last few weeks. We have apparently a problem over at BARC, you've identified it, you're on top of it, you've hired this guy and we've lost a lot of time and expended a lot of—oh, it has been a lot of drama."
Councilmember Jolanda Jones, one of the most vocal detractors of the contract, voted yes along with the rest of the council. But she says it was a hard decision to make.
"Personally I think we need to level that building. I mean, it emanates death and morbidity to me."
The mayor acknowledges they do need new facilities for BARC, but says that will have to wait for a time when the budget is more flexible.
The $135,000 contract will keep turnaround agent Gerry Fusco at the helm of BARC through the end of the year.

Mendoza has been described as 'the Napa of the South' and it's easy to understand why such parallels are drawn. With both sitting at 33 degrees of latitude there's a neat symmetry at work for anyone with a smidgeon of interest in how the world's great vineyards lie. Add to this the regional eminence of both Napa Valley and Mendoza, each celebrated as the most famous quality wine producer in their respective American hemispheres, and such comparisons seem almost inevitable.
For me, though, the vineyards of Mendoza are a world away from the glitzy celebration that is Napa, and not just because of differences in altitude, climate and soils. I love the all-American theatre of Napa and many of its excellent wines. But anyone who has sat in a weekend limo jam on Highway 29, crawling past Dean & Delucca's mega-store in the heart of the Napa Valley, couldn't help but agree that this is a well-trodden destination.
Welcome to Napa Wine Country, photo courtesy of Donna Sutton.
In Napa you can tour by steam train, chow down with celebrities at the globally famous French Laundry, and visit swishily designed cellar doors on any number of Napa Valley wine tours. Rewind 30 years, to a time when this was still a pioneering wine territory, and perhaps then you'd gain a much greater sense of the spirit that still exists in Mendoza today.
Mendoza's most important wine regions of Luján de Cuyo, Maipú Valley and Valle de Uco are spread across a similar distance to the bucolic stretch of vines from Napa to Calistoga. But with 330 days of annual sunshine, only eight inches of rain and with lofty elevations running from 1,500M to 5,600M above sea level, this is different territory indeed. From a winemaking point of view it's the purity of conditions here that has drawn so many leading winemakers from California, France, Spain and elsewhere.
The vines enjoy long, sun-slaked ripening time, with cold night air ensuring that the grapes hold on to their delicate aromatic qualities, while poor soils are perfect for encouraging deep roots and imparting minerally depth in the wines. The local terroir is palpable. This is a dry place, with irrigation provided courtesy of pure Andean melt water, so there's little humidity and thus naturally healthy grapes and vines.
Sunrise in Mendoza, photo courtesy of Tony Bailey.
These are conditions that have allowed the Malbec grape to thrive, so much so that Argentina can now be considered the spiritual home of this deeply appealing old French variety. Of course, other classic varieties flourish here too. As in Napa, Mendoza produces world-class Cabernet, Merlot, Chardonnay and much else besides. But unlike Napa, it has in Malbec a style that it can call its own, in addition to the more commonplace 'international' varieties that are found around the globe.
Despite the many differences, what does tie Mendoza together with Napa is the passion and commitment to quality found among the winemakers. And, as the tourism side of things continues to flourish, more and more inquisitive wine lovers are finding their way to Argentina's winemaking heartlands. There is still a real, tangible sense of the pioneering spirit here and you can sense it among the winemakers and in their wines. Related it may be, but Mendoza is very much Napa's non-identical twin.Ver en EspañolVeja em Português

maybe 2.5 forks. It was good, but I wouldn't go for "delicious." The reviewer who noted that the sauce-to-pasta ratio was low has a point. The good news is, that means the dish ends up being MUCH lighter than you would anticipate, from looking at the ingredients. I was feeling guilty about cooking soemthing so rich--cream, bacon/pancetta, eggs, cheese, etc--but it really doesn't make that much sauce for the quantity of pasta. I made 1/2 a recipe and it made 4-5 decent servings (as a main dish with a salad on the side). I also just used one egg in the half recipe....seemed to work out alright. Oh, and I added a splash of white wine to the cream mixture, which I think improved it. I'll make it again, but not anytime soon!flag if inappropriate
After reading such great reviews I was disappointed at how my pasta turned out. 16 oz. seemed too much and the sauce to pasta ratio was much more pasta then it should be. I didnt use all 1 1/2 lb. zucchini either and next time I would deffiantly use all 1 1/2 lb- but I dont think I'll be making this recipe again.flag if inappropriate
I made this for my husband and in-laws on a weekend trip at the beach house and I got raving reviews--definately restaurant quality. I used prosciutto (because I accidently bought the wrong thing) and yellow squash and it was great. Also, I roasted the garlic because I prefer a milder taste. This one will surely be one of my favorites!flag if inappropriate
My daughter (aged 10) adores Carbonara, and the addition of courgettes (zucchini) is inspired, though we often craft it with mushrooms...or asparagus...too. An easy version for week-nights when I'm late back from work.flag if inappropriate
My husband and I really liked this recipie. It has great flavor and is not difficult or time-consuming. If you can find pancetta, use a thick-sliced smokey bacon. Forgot the zucchini at the store but used some asparagus I had on hand which turned out great.flag if inappropriate

Saskatoon Berry Powder
Prairie Berries' (booth 8539) Saskatoon Berry Powder packs a punch! Canada's newest superfruit contains uniquely high antioxidative characteristics. The major anthocyanins in saskatoon berries are cyanidin 3-galactoside and 3-glucoside. Some literature indicates that cyanidin 3-glucoside has more bioactivity than other anthocyanins. In a research study conducted by POS Bio Sciences, saskatoon berry powder was compared to other common superfruit powders showing higher phenolics and anthocyanins.

Minutes 09.23.11
University of Virginia School of
Curriculum Committee
Minutes – 09/23/11
Pediatric Conference Room, 4:00 p.m.
Present were: A quorum was present. Individual name list lost.
- Plans for the Ob/Gyn program at Bon Secours were reviewed by Dr.
Megan Bray, Ob/Gyn Clerkship director.
- The Curriculum Committee voted to allow the requirement for the
OB/GYN selective for the Class of 2013 to be dropped and 2 weeks of
elective time added to the Class of 2013 graduation requirement.
This request is due to the loss of 6 clerkship spots and a loss of elective sites at Roanoke and the limited availability of selectives here at UVA. This will also alleviate the strain on Ob/Gyn to offer electives to those students wishing to go into Ob/Gyn.
The Curriculum Committee committed to finding a way to include more Obstetrics and Gynecology in the NexGen integrated clerkship curriculum e.g. a possible 12-week block of Women's and Children's Health.
Clerkship Curriculum Design. (from 9/1/11)
A Committee has been formed to seek ways to enhance continuity and standardization throughout the clerkships. A proposed plan for Clerkship Organization that calls for 12-week integrated blocks of clerkships was distributed. The blocks would be:
1) 4 weeks General Surgery, 2 -2-week surgical subspecialties, and 2 weeks of PACM;
2) 4 weeks Psychiatric Medicine, 4 weeks Neurology, and 4 weeks Family Medicine;
3) 6 weeks of OBGYN and 6 weeks of Pediatrics;
4) 4 weeks of General Medicine, 4 weeks of AIM, 2 weeks of Geriatrics and 2 weeks Specialty Medicine.

The Winds of Change: Market Research
Webinar Description
Think back 10 years. No broadband, no social media, no smartphones, no LED TVs or DVRs, no iPads. And who had heard of MROCs, neuroscience, consumer listening, online ethnography, crowdsourcing or virtual shopping? What will the next five or ten years mean for Market Research? We are facing several Winds of Change that have huge impact on our profession - to borrow from Andy Grove's "Only the Paranoid Survive", Market Research is approaching a strategic inflection point.
The webinar will address the following winds:
Delivering More With Less: The C-suite is demanding more. The future is about "getting the business", being a consultant, sharing, synthesizing, storytelling and taking a stand. But don't expect a bigger budget to achieve this!
Do-It-Yourself Research: DIY is growing fast. What's going on, what are the risks and opportunities, the early successes?
New Modalities: There is more innovation in research methods now than at any time in our history! What's the taxonomy of new modalities? How do you integrate them?
The River: This expression came from a project looking out to 2020 (published in JAR March 2011). It refers to a mighty, organically growing river of information with thousands of tributaries - and a world in which perhaps 80% of information needs will be solved by fishing the river rather than by commissioning a new project.
New Talent for a New Age: The future of market research talent lies with management consultants, polymaths and specialists. Why do we say this? What do you need to do?
The New Global Middle Class: By 2030, 93% of the world's Middle Class will come from emerging economies!

Oshkosh-- It was a scary sight out on Lake Winnebago after close to 30 vehicles go underwater when the ice they were parked on cracked. Some cars were several inches under, others several feet. Luckily no one was inside.The cars were parked near Menominee Park for the "Battle on the Bago" fishing tournament.
A spot near the shore of Lake Winnebago seemed like a good place to park a car at 5:00 a.m. but by mid-morning several cars were sinking. "All it takes is a little bit of a hole or a crack and you see what happened everybody went in and there's probably going to go in later," said tow truck driver Don Herman.
It will cost the vehicle's owners between $500 and $2,000 to have the cars pulled out. An expensive mistake and one Dennis Rymer says he won't make. Rymer has been ice fishing for more than 30 years, but he's not out there this year. "I got respect for the ice, I fell through the ice when I was 7 years old this is as far as I'll walk right here," Rymer said.
Despite the cars in the water, organizers say this is the tournament's best year. Ticket sales nearly tripled from last year and close to $100,000 was raised for youth and conservation charities in Wisconsin. "The weather ironically has helped us out because fisherman south of Oshkosh into Indiana and Illinois have brought a number of people," said organizer Glenn Curran.
No one was injured out on the lake today as for the cars that were submerged in water. The tow truck owner says all the cars he pulled out were totaled.

TROY, Mich., May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Somanetics Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTS) announced today that its INVOS® System was featured in 24 posters and presentations at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual conference held in Vancouver, Canada May 1 - 4. The findings demonstrate adoption and application of Somanetics' INVOS technology to improve patient care, clinical outcomes and safety of neonates.
"The number of INVOS System abstracts demonstrates the important role our technology is playing in advancing care of the most fragile patients in our healthcare system," said Bruce Barrett, Somanetics' president and chief executive officer. "We continue to be pleased with the interest from clinicians since our introduction to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) area."
Notable topics included three abstracts showing a strong association between INVOS System cerebral oximetry values and today's commonly used predictors of neurodevelopmental outcomes such as brain MRI, EEG and mental and psychomotor development indices. Identifying conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delays or other adverse outcomes is a high-priority for NICU departments so that interventions can begin early and be optimized for the patient. Mona C. Toet and Petra M.A. Lemmers et al, of Wilhelmina Children's Hospital/University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands, built upon their earlier peer-reviewed publications on INVOS technology.
The Lemmers' abstract showed cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2

COMMENTARY: No, ES&S is Not a Division of FEMA: It Just Seems Like It in Wake of Foul-ups
By David M. Kinchen
Editor, Huntington News Network
Hinton, WV (HNN) No, contrary to what some may think, Election Systems & Software (ES&S) is not a division of FEMA.
ES&S has gotten West Virginia Secretary of State Betty Irelands Irish up with delays in providing software to run the new touch-screen voting machines, but thanks to above and beyond the call of duty service on the part of the states 55 county clerks and their staffs, all might be well on election day, Tuesday, May 9.
On Friday, May 5, 2006, Ben Beakes of the Secretary of States office told HNN that 25 to 30 counties are set to go on Tuesday, with all the electronic ballots delivered to all the machines. Raleigh, Logan and Kanawha counties are among those ready, with Cabell County expected to be fully operational by election day. Summers County is ready to go, too, according to County Clerk Mary Beth Merritt. She said the software was delivered on Monday, May 1 well behind schedule but long hours of work have paid off and all the machines are working properly.
Beakes said the statewide situation is in a state of flux and his office is calling all the clerks for periodic updates. He suggested that HNN call back on Monday, May 8, the day before the primary.
ES&S, based in Omaha, NE, was one of three companies that submitted bids in response to the Secretary of States request for proposals (RFP). It was chosen because of its excellent reputation, which seems to be tarnished by the latest foul-up. Beakes and Merritt dont blame the West Virginia subcontractor, Casto & Harris, which is responsible for getting the electronic ballots to all the counties.
Late in April, Kanawha County Circuit Judge Paul Zakaib issued an order extending the testing deadline for the new machines until the day before the election; under state law, all testing must be completed by one week before the primary, which would have been Tuesday, May 2.
Im absolutely appalled by ES&Ss delays and the hardships ES&S has placed on our county officials, Ireland said last week.
Backup plans involving paper ballots or optical scan ballots are in place in case all 55 counties arent up and running on Primary Election Day, the Secretary of States office said.

September 26, 2002
By Joseph Loconte
The Civl War series is television at its best: history-telling
that is intelligent, textured, personal, and deeply affecting. Ken
Burns rightly argues that Americans cannot understand America
without understanding this war.
Yet we can't fully comprehend the Civil War without appreciating
the religious movements and ideas that fueled it. Like most
historians, Burns all but ignores these influences.
There's no discussion of how Christian ministers and activists
helped outlaw slavery in the North, or how they led the
abolitionist cause up until the outbreak of war. We never learn
that Harriet Beecher Stowe's explosive anti-slavery novel, Uncle
Tom's Cabin, was drenched in biblical imagery-thanks to Stowe's
evangelical upbringing. We never hear about the congregations in
the North and the South that gave sanctuary to runaway slaves.
We all know that the Civil War divided families, states and
political parties. But we learn virtually nothing from Burn's film
about how it fractured churches and entire denominations. Breaking
from northern Baptists, for example, the Southern Baptist
Convention was created to defend the rights of slaveowners. For
religious believers, slavery represented a battle for the meaning
of the gospel as surely as it was a contest over the meaning of
Every Sunday, from pulpits around the country, ministers either
defended the God-given dignity of blacks or debased them as
carrying the value of a farm animal. Southern politicians called
northern clergy "meddling priests" and "the most encroaching" and
"arrogant class of men" for injecting religion into politics.
Christian abolitionists accused Southern clergy of rank hypocrisy
and abuse of the Bible. One of them, Abram Pryne, denounced a
religion "that prays-and steals negroes; that sings psalms-and
whips women." [1]
Only rarely have historians studied the powerful link between
the Christian revivals of the 19th century and the politics of
abolition. Wheaton College professor Mark Noll argues that the
Civil War can be seen "as the last chapter in the Christian story
of the Second Great Awakening." [2] It was Bible-based
opposition to slavery that drove northern evangelicals into the
arms of a political party-the Republican Party. As historian
Richard Carwardine puts it, "Republicans acquired their essential
moral engery" from conservative Protestants.
The head of their party, of course, was Abraham Lincoln, a man
whose deep sense of Providence forged his own arguments against
slavery. Yet, depite scores of Lincoln biographies, it wasn't until
the 1999 publication of Alan Guelzo's book Abraham Lincoln:
Redeemer President that Lincoln's religious reflections got serious
attention. In his Second Inaugural address, Guelzo notes, Lincoln
suggested that God "gives to both North and South this terrible
war" because of the sin of slavery. It was a masterly blend of
theology and statecraft.
The secular accounts of the Civil War need revision. In an
otherwise grim episode in American history, there's a narrative of
religious conviction and moral courage waiting to be told.
Americans of all faiths, or of no faith, would be greatly enriched
by hearing it.
Loconte is the William E. Simon Fellow in Religion and a
Free Society at the Heritage Foundation.

The rise is medium, the leg is straight, and the fit is regular, but there's a punch in this stretch denim that makes it undoubtedly modern and insanely comfy. No skinny fit that makes you stiff legged or crazy asymmetrical styling; this zip-up-and-button denim is an improvement on the familiar.

RVCA always looks great, but their jeans tend to run slim...even the regular fit. My husband loved the look, but too tight on the thighs for his taste. The brand shirts are normal with the slim fit being the slim line, but the jeans altogether just run more on the slim side. (He wears a 34x30) weighs 180 @ 5'10

Christmas Tree Store 20% Off Printable Coupon
I know it's not beauty related for Christmas Tree Stores are related to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and Harmons which means they have a beauty department. Heck some people have even reported finding the latest, greatest makeup releases in store like the Maybelline Gilded in Gold Collection!
I shop there quite often for seasonal items for my garden and home! If you have a Christmas Tree store in your area you can print out this coupon (CLICK HERE) and get 20% off your total from 11/5 to 11/13.
Happy Shopping!
