Canyon del Oro High School senior Tanner Hensley's favorite class fuses math and business concepts with his favorite subject of all, cars.
"Cars have been part of my life for quite a while," Hensley, a member of the school's Auto Club, said about the school's auto shop class. "You can take what you learn in the class and use it whenever. ... It's my favorite class, by far."
Teacher Jeremy Tarbet, 26, said he shows his students as many facets as possible of the car industry. Tarbet, who worked in a body shop at a car dealership before moving into teaching, familiarizes students with the business side of the equation, as well as its mechanical know-how. About 130 students take one of Tarbet's five classes. Tarbet, a CDO graduate, also has coached baseball at the school.
The students operate a shop and occasionally work on vehicles people from the community bring in.
Students learn what goes into repair and restoration, as well as the cost of parts and how to establish efficient workflow. Right now the students are restoring a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle and a 1956 Chevy.
Not that the class is all business. This weekend, with the Wizard of Rodz car show (see accompanying box) - the first event of its kind at the school - the students plan to share their appreciation of classic vehicles while raising money for supplies.
Tarbet said he's planning for more than 100 cars to be on display.
"We're hoping for kind of a festival atmosphere," he said. "We want to have music, cars and people."
Other groups at the school are getting into the act, adding a rummage sale and cooking and construction demonstrations to the event.
Cris Cisco, who coordinates the school's International Baccalaureate Program and came up with the idea for the car show and related events, said the auto program is flooring it with Tarbet behind the wheel.
"He's done an awesome job," Cisco said. "He's doing a great job of introducing students to the whole body shop part of it."
Hensley, who plans to expand his auto knowledge at trade school, said the class has given him a solid knowledge base.
"He knows a lot about cars and can help us if we need any help," Hensley said of Tarbet. "He's a pretty cool guy, and as a teacher he's just one of the better ones."
Another of Tarbet's students, senior Steven Anders, has been contacting car dealerships and shops around the city to round up participants. Anders, who also plans to study vehicles at trade school, said he hopes to see some of his favorites on display, including old hot rods, Camaros and Mustangs.
"Cars have been pretty much my everything since I was 5, working on airplanes with my dad," Anders said.
Hensley said he most appreciates "the knowledge about the more industrial side of it. The lifts, the alignments and stuff. The stuff you can't learn at home. The stuff you have to be around a shop to know."
If you go
• What: Wizard of Rodz.
• When: 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday. Check-in time for car exhibitors is 8 a.m.
• Where: Canyon del Oro High School, 25 W. Calle Concordia.

Storm rolls into Okanagan, keeps emergency crews hopping
KELOWNA, B.C. – A series of storm cells rolled into the B.C. Interior, including the Okanagan Wednesday, creating havoc as trees blew onto numerous power lines.
Lightning even struck several trees, causing at least two small fires.
Rain accompanying the storm assisted in keeping the flames from spreading.
Fortis BC has been called to the site of several electrical transformer explosions throughout Kelowna.
While the power was out in downtown Kelowna for about 20 minutes, lingering outages remain to be fixed throughout town.
No injuries have been reported.
Penticton and Vernon saw small amounts of hail. There are no immediate reports of crop damage.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 5 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
TransoceanDividend Yield: 4.60% Transocean (NYSE: RIG) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.60%. Transocean Ltd. provides offshore contract drilling services for oil and gas wells worldwide. It offers deepwater and harsh environment drilling, oil and gas drilling management, and drilling engineering and drilling project management services, as well as logistics services. The company has a P/E ratio of 11.01. The average volume for Transocean has been 6,159,800 shares per day over the past 30 days. Transocean has a market cap of $17.7 billion and is part of the energy industry. Shares are down 1.9% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. TheStreet Ratings rates Transocean as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, revenue growth, attractive valuation levels, increase in stock price during the past year and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Energy Equipment & Services industry. The net income increased by 243.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$381.00 million to $546.00 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 9.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 5.2%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displaying stagnant earnings per share.
- TRANSOCEAN LTD reported flat earnings per share in the most recent quarter. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TRANSOCEAN LTD turned its bottom line around by earning $2.24 versus -$17.75 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($4.16 versus $2.24).
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.

Gov. Bentley signs education budget without teacher raise
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- After clashing with legislators over the issue of a teacher pay raise, Gov. Robert Bentley has signed the education budget for the next fiscal year without making any changes, which he said state lawmakers' actions prevented him from doing.
[Click here to get more details of the Alabama Education Trust Fund Budget for 2015.]
Bentley had sought a two-percent pay increase for K-12 education employees in Alabama, but the Alabama Legislature instead approved a budget that puts more money into the employees' health insurance costs.
Bentley upset some Republican legislators when he made a final push for the raise on the last night of the legislative session. Legislative leaders accused him of breaking an agreement.
From @GovernorBentley on Twitter:
"I've signed the ETF Budget.Legislature's actions prevented me from amending it w/a teacher raise.So a Special Session may be called mid year"
"We'll keep looking at revenues. A 2% raise & a Special Session is not off the table.But the Legis attitude today wouldn't make this possible"

If this is what you were referring to, it is based upon the vibrations resulting in a 33Hz range so you might have continued reading to understand that though there is a physiological effect that it is not one that really effects hearing. Thus the statement of:The statement I suspect you were using and its continuation of what you were presenting is:vibration velocity level of 66 dB with a frequency of 33 Hz. Vertical vibrations of this magnitude are as a rule not perceptible as ground-borne vibrations
In this specific case it was not the sound effecting the hearing so much as the resonance of the vibration much like how even deaf people can suddenly become or get sick when exposed to high intensity base vibrations that they can't hear but can feel.In the centre of the room 26 dB(A) resp. 66 dB(lin), and near to the wall surfaces 44 dB(A) resp. 84 dB(lin).
The exposed persons stated that the vibrations near to the walls left an uneasy feeling in their stomachs which very quickly increased to the point of feeling sick. The measuring staff experienced similar symptoms. The highly exceeding level values near the to walls were in all probability promoted by the fact that the distance between the window and the opposite wall was 5 m which was equal to exactly half the wave length of the airborne sound, or resonance.

Did you know that the average washload contains 20 times more body oils and sweat than visible stains?
This photo shows what the hidden body oils and sweat could actually look like:
Wisk Deep Clean has been reformulated to target more than visible stains and they were awarded for it with Product of the Year in the laundry category. So while Wisk still fights "Ring Around the Collar" it now goes beyond surface stains. It actually makes me think twice about wearing some of my clothes a few times before washing, knowing how dirty they could actually be! I admit to having my own dirty laundry secrets, the top common laundry behaviors being:
- Going more than a month without changing bed sheets (in fact only half of consumers wash their sheets once a week)
- Taking dirty items out of the laundry basket to wear (with more women than men admiting to this)
- Nearly one in three women admit to wearing the same bra for several days with one in three men admitting to having worn the same socks or underwear for several days.
I had no clue about all the oils in my clothes and love that I can use Wisk to tackle those stains. So far so good and I love the clean feeling of my clothes, not to mention the fresh Wisk smell! For more than 50 years Wisk has been cleaning clothes and I love how their formula has evolved! Their new formula contains a unique (and patented) blend of Micro-Cleaners that seek and attack body oils and sweat.
Wisk Deep Clean is available in five varieties: Original, High Efficiency, Oxi Complete, Fresh Breeze and Free & Pure.
So what is your biggest laundry secret? Mine is probably all the above, my biggest being I don't wash our bed sheets enough. Now though thinking about all those nights of sweat and oils soaking in makes me want to rip them out from under my sleeping husband now!
BUY IT: Wisk Deep Clean can be found at your local mass retailer starting at $5.99 in the following sizes: 45oz, 50oz, 75oz, 100oz, 150oz.
WIN IT: (1) US winner will recive a coupon for a FREE 26/32 load liquid Wisk Detergent

Johnson, Schaub will Texans past Rams
Matt Schaub had his eighth 300-yard passing game and Andre Johnson consistently eluded a defense geared to stop him with a season best 196 yards receiving. But the Texans ended up leaning on field goals to hold off the lowly St. Louis Rams 16-13.
Published 2:52 pm, Sunday, December 20, 2009
ST. LOUIS - If the Texans had blown Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan might not have been the only coach who's reported to be joining Mike Shanahan's new staff in Washington.
No one would have blamed owner Bob McNair for cleaning house.
The NFL doesn't give half a victory to teams that win so ugly, the players and coaches have to wear masks in public.
The Texans were fortunate to escape the Edward Jones Dome with a 16-13 victory over the woeful Rams.
Afterward, a relieved Gary Kubiak was asked if he could feel good after such a victory.
Sports Channel
"You're dang right I can," he said. "It's hard to win in this league. Obviously, there weren't many style points for us today. We were sloppy. We ?turned the ball over (twice) and jumped offsides on defense, and you can't do that against anybody.
"Fortunately, we found a way to regroup, and the defense led the way in the second half."
The Texans, who limited the Rams and third-string quarterback Keith Null, an undrafted rookie from West Texas A&M, to 237 yards, evened their rec?ord at 6-6. They retained their slim playoff hopes going into the last two games at Miami and at home against New England.
Just how bad are the Rams? They are 1-13 this season and 6-40 in their past 46 games.
No wonder they sold only 45,256 tickets, and about 35,000 showed up on a cold, dark and dreary day inside and outside.
The Texans, favored by 14, hit the snooze button and trailed 10-6 at halftime.
"That place was dead, and we played like it in the first half," fullback Vonta Leach said.
Against a defense allowing 146 yards rushing and 4.6 a carry, the Texans managed 52 yards and 2.2 a carry. Who needs a running game when you have Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson?
Schaub was 28 of 40 for 367 yards and a touchdown. He wasn't sacked for the second game in a row, despite playing the second half with Rashad Butler at left tackle in place of the injured Duane Brown, who left with a sprained knee. Schaub didn't throw an interception but did lose a fumble on a failed sneak.
Johnson had catches of 38, 49, 30 and 44 yards. He finished with nine catches for 196 yards. In the last two victories, he's caught 20 passes for 390 yards.
"It was ugly," Johnson said. "Normally, when you play road games, the other team's fans are energetic, but their fans weren't at the beginning. I think that killed our energy."

Upcoming Events: Intelligence Gathering and the Unowned Internet (4/8); Ethereum: Freenet or Skynet? (4/15)
Upcoming Events / Digital Media
April 2nd, 2014
The Berkman Center is hiring a Communications Manager. Click here to learn more about the position. We welcome you to share this announcement with friends or colleagues who may be interested.
special event
Intelligence Gathering and the Unowned Internet
Tuesday, April 8, 12:00pm ET, Harvard Law School, Wasserstein Hall, Milstein West A. Free and open to the public.
The long-term viability of an unowned, open Internet remains in question. Any analysis of where the Internet is headed as a protocol and a platform must take into account the activities of both public and private entities that see the Internet as a source of intelligence -- and a field of contention. The Berkman Center for Internet and Society is pleased to invite the community to continue the conversation on the future of the unowned Internet on April 8, 2014 with a discussion that aims to leverage perspectives from inside and outside the U.S. intelligence community to bring some clarity to a discussion often rife with confusion.
Participants will include: Yochai Benkler, Berkman Professor for Entrepreneurial Legal Studies at Harvard Law School; John DeLong, Director of Compliance, National Security Agency; Anne Neuberger, Commercial Solutions Center Director, National Security Agency; Bruce Schneier, CTO of CO3 Systems and Fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society; Jonathan Zittrain, Co-founder of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society; Terry Fisher, WilmerHale Professor of Intellectual Property Law at Harvard Law School and Faculty Director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society will moderate the discussion.

Ethereum: Freenet or Skynet?
Tuesday, April 15, 12:30pm ET, Berkman Center for Internet & Society, 23 Everett St, 2nd Floor. This event will be webcast live.
Ethereum is a contract validating and enforcing system based on a distributed public ledger (or blockchain) such as the one implemented by the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. Yet, Ethereum also features an internal Turing-complete scripting language that can be used to encode advanced transaction types directly into the blockchain. This allows for the deployment of self-enforcing smart contracts (such as joint savings accounts, financial exchange markets, or even trust funds) as well as distributed autonomous organizations (DAOs) that subsist independently of any moral or legal entity. These algorithmical entities are both autonomous and self-sufficient: they charge users from the services they provide so as to pay others for the resources they need (e.g. bandwidth, cpu). Thus, once they have been created and deployed onto the blockchain, they no longer need (nor heed) their creators.
But if DAOs are independently operated — neither owned nor controlled by any given entity — who is actually in charge, responsible for, or accountable for their operations? And if their resources cannot be seized (because DAOs have full sovereignty over them), how can they be required to pay damages for their torts? This talk will analyse the interplay between distributed autonomous organizations and the law, with a view to explore the dangers and opportunities of Ethereum: could this new platform promote the establishment of an entirely decentralized society, or will its disruptive potential eventually be absorbed by the established system?
Primavera De Filippi is a postdoctoral researcher at the CERSA / CNRS / Université Paris II (Panthéon-Assas). She is currently a research fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, where she is analyzing the challenges raised by distributed architectures and multimedia applications in the context of cloud computing and peer-to-peer networks.

Susan Benesch on Troll Wrastling for Beginners: Data-Driven Methods to Decrease Hatred Online
Hateful and even violent speech is familiar online; what's unusual are data-driven efforts to diminish them. Experiments so far have produced intriguing results including: some 'trolls' recant or apologize in response to counterspeech, and small changes in platform architecture can improve online discourse norms. In this talk Susan Benesch — founder of the Dangerous Speech Project and professor of American University's School of International Service — discusses early research and experiments into managing and responding to hateful speech online, especially in climates where online speech may be tied to offline violence. video/audio on our website>

Letter: Vote no on Measure No. 1 in primary election
One initiated measure of utmost importance to be voted on in the June 10 primary election is Measure No. 1.
This measure, if approved by the voters, would extend from 90 to 120 days the time period that signatures to place any initiated measure on to the ballot would have to be in the hands of the Secretary of State for verification before an election
This is totally unnecessary. The current 90-day timeframe for verification to place any measure on the ballot is plenty adequate.
North Dakota is one of only 23 states in the Union that have the initiative and referral process. The framers of the Constitution of these states saw the need to have another recourse when those they elect turn a deaf ear to the people they are supposed to represent.
Sadly, the initiative and referral process in all 23 states that have it has come under attack by those whom the people have elected to represent them. They want to eliminate accountability and distance themselves from the people that elected them. Both parties are to blame. In North Dakota, it's the RINO Republicans that want the voters to approve this amendment.
This is the real purpose of Measure No. 1. The real idea is to place so many restrictions on the initiative and referral process to render it impossible to use, or do away with it completely.
On June 10, be sure to vote no on Measure No. 1. Don't give up your right to hold those accountable that you elect to represent you.

COMBE St Nicholas' quest for promotion from Division Two West of the Errea Somerset County League continued on Saturday with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Creech St Michael at Slades Cross.
Fielding an unchanged side from the previous week they always knew that the visiting team were going to be tough to break down, after sharing the points in their previous encounter.
The home side started brightly, having the majority of the possession, with the only chance of note being when Dan Collins narrowly shooting wide after being put through by Matt Brown.
The remainder of the first half was evenly matched until Collins did get on the score sheet shortly before half time.
A quick throw in from wide found its way to Adam Tovey who sent in dangerous cross that was eventually slotted home by Collins at the second attempt, despite the best efforts of the away keeper.
With half time looming Combe nearly doubled the lead when Scott Wells-Burr narrowly headed over a Gary Warren corner, but the score remained 1-0 at the break.
In the second half Creech began to pile pressure on the home side, but the back line were yet again magnificent throughout, reducing them to long range efforts that were easily dealt with by Jason Hutchings.
Combe eventually got their second when a brilliant through ball from evergreen Paul Stoodley was latched onto by Collins, who rounded the keeper and slotted into the empty net.
The win was marred when two Creech players received their marching orders.
Combe: J.Hutchings, D.Brown, Sh Wells-Burr, Sc Wells-Burr, G.Warren, M.Brown (M.Redwood 80), P.Stoodley (N.Finn 80), D.Hutchings, A.Tovey, B.Haines, D.Collins. unused sub: D.Oliverlsa

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello, welcome to the site! My name is***** and I will try to assist you with your medical question, and any medical information you seek
I'm sorry to hear about this
Citalopram should not make it worse
But it may take 7-10 days before it starts helping
If it does not help within 2 weeks, then the dose should be increased or you should be switched to another medication like effexor
Thank you. I have more severe anxiety than depression and I was not sure whether the antidepressant was making it worse but there is so much information online saying to stick with it. I am having terrrible sweating and body jolts. How long will it take to settle down? I am on day 6. I need the diazapam but am running out because I was only given a few. How will effexor differ?
It may take up to14 days to settle down
effexor is a different drug, it is not more effective but it is different, and is a good alternative if citalopram does not work
to 14 days*
Are you there?
Are you having problems with the system? It seemed to take a long time to respond
No I was just thinking. I think you have given me all the information you can. I will just have to bare with it and hope it subsides eventually. At its worse it is a life not worth living.
I am sorry you feel so poorly
Have you been on citalopram for depression as well and has it helped?
I have always been an anxious person and have suffered from depression in the past but not really been on medication before like this. This is worse than depression because there is no way of knowing when the attacks are going to come and the symptoms are so physical you cannot have any control over them. I have had a lot of stress in my life in recent years and I believe it has built up to this but I never expected this to happen and I do not know whether I have now got it for life. If I have I would not want to live like this.
I understand, try not to lose hope, there are many other medications you may try if citalopram does not work, but give citalopram some time, it may still help you
Thank you for your help and understanding. Goodbye.
You're welcome

A COURTSHIP spent sending love letters to a navy ship stationed thousands of miles away has resulted in a 60-year marriage for Doris Lowe.
She and husband Syd, from Halliwell, celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary last week by bringing every member of their large immediate family together at Bolton Golf Club.
Their four daughters, nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren all attended the party hosted by 84-year-old Syd and Doris, aged 82.
Such a Lowe family dynasty could not have been envisaged when Doris and Syd wed at St Thomas's Church in Halliwell on September 26, 1953, after only a six-week engagement.
Syd's commitments to the Merchant Navy dictated that Doris had to pick her moment wisely to get him down the aisle. Immediately prior to the wedding he had spent two years on a voyage which originally was merely a six-week trip to the Caribbean.
The pair first met about 70 years ago when they were in the scouts and guides.
"He was a radio officer from 1950 onwards, so I spent most of my courting days writing letters," said Doris.
"Then when he was home, after talking about engagement we were in Manchester and I saw a ring and Syd bought it."
After marrying on a sunny autumnal day, with Syd in naval uniform, and a dance reception at the Empress Night Club, the couple honeymooned a lot closer to home.
"We went to Sidmouth in Devon so we had our wedding night on an overnight train," said Doris.
"But, it was really nice but, for some reason, we've never been back. Perhaps we will go back at some point although we only had a youth hostel then, because money was so tight, so hopefully we could stretch to a hotel this time."
Ten years ago, for their golden wedding, they enjoyed a slightly more luxurious break. With daughter Karen and son-in-law Steve Shillito, Doris and Syd went on a cruise around the Mediterranean.
The couple have always lived in Halliwell and moved into their current home in Temple Drive in 1964.
After leaving the navy, Syd and a Doris ran a newsagents in Chorley Old Road for five years, before Syd bought the Halliwell Road electrical shop he had previously worked at, which he ran until retirement.
Karen, Christine, Vivien and Joanne are their main sources of pride, but Syd said the time he and Doris have been together is probably their biggest achievement.
He said: "There's not many people who have been married 60 years and even fewer who have never had a cross word!"

will this A/V receiver work as a tuner with a plasma video monitor, or do I need to connect it to an actual plasma television?
I bought a NAD T 763 receiver and used just few times. The receiver does not communicate with remote any more. The remote controler works fine because it can still control other devices. Something is wrong with the receiver. Can I fix it by myself. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks.

The CBO's Fuzzy ObamaCare Math
January 11, 2011
A Congressional Budget Office (CBO) letter to House Speaker John Boehner says that the health law spends $780 billion in the next decade and pays for it by raising taxes and fees by $410 billion, and by reducing future Medicare funding by $500 billion. The CBO argues that the law raises more money ($910 billion) than it spends, but that is hardly sufficient reason to keep it, or any law, says Betsy McCaughey, chairman of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths and a former lieutenant governor of New York.
- Amazingly, only 3 percent more people will have private health insurance in 2014 than would have it if the law hadn't passed.
- But a staggering 85.2 million people will be on public insurance -- Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP).
- That is 31 percent of nonelderly Americans.
The new law stipulates that Medicaid must provide the same health benefits that employers will have to provide for their workers. To expand Medicaid, the law eviscerates Medicare. It is like robbing Peter to pay Paul, only it's robbing Grandma and Grandpa. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows that in 2019 the Obama health law reduces annual Medicare funding so much that it works out to $1,428 less for each elderly patient that year. Richard Foster, chief actuary for Medicare, has spoken with brave bluntness about the possible impact, warning that some hospitals may stop accepting Medicare, says McCaughey.

Chavez tweets
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
As promised, the Bolivarian revolution has entered the Twittersphere. President Hugo Chavez's first tweet went up at around midnight last night and already has over 44,000 followers:
Epa que tal? Aparecí como lo dije: a la medianoche. Pa Brasil me voy. Y muy contento a trabajar por Venezuela. Venceremos!!
"Hey how's it going? I appeared like I said I would: at midnight. I'm off to Brazil. And very happy to work for Venezuela. We will be victorious!!"
Chavez has chosen @chavezcandanga as his handle — candanga is an obscure word for "devil" — and the feed will be part of what Chavez's allies have called an "assault" on social networking sites, which are currently dominated by the opposition.
But what are his thoughts about Justin Bieber?

Looking for a new job in 2013 – or hoping to find fresh talent for your company? Recently launched Vancouver startup websites are helping companies recruit dynamic young professionals and helping users find new careers by catering to jobseekers whose expectations have shifted because of advances in technology and use of social media.
KarmaHire is a free platform website offering software as a service (SaaS) to help companies streamline recruitment. Businesses can use it to build a new careers page for their website or join a virtual job fair to attract potential employees.
The platform gives companies a way to communicate their corporate culture through photos, live social media feeds, job listings and multimedia. It's also possible to integrate the page with an existing company website so users aren't aware they're interacting with the KarmaHire platform.
CEO James Clift said he and business partner Thomas Zhou developed the idea for KarmaHire when they were running a web agency that was struggling to recruit the right people.
"What we found is that the best candidates don't look for jobs anymore. They look for a company, a new experience," he said. "KarmaHire helps businesses showcase their company culture, their employment brand and what makes them unique. The goal is to give them a better channel to connect with candidates."
Clift said that KarmaHire is a great tool for medium-sized companies that don't have a large budget or their own careers website.
"Companies don't have to spend money on a branding or recruitment agency because with us they can log on, build a great experience in minutes and start seeing results and that ROI right away."
The eight-month-old website has about 50 companies with accounts and approximately 3,000 candidates registered in its database.
Clift said his business model is based on convincing users of the free service to pay for the company's premium version, which is scheduled to be launched within the next few months. Premium features, which will be available for a monthly subscription fee, include in-depth tracking and talent-relationship management tools.
Heidi Rolston, a spokeswoman for Build Direct, said KarmaHire has helped expedite the hiring process.
"It creates a landing page for people so they have a better flavour for who we are as a company. Because we don't have a full-blown career site, it tells people what it's like to be in the organization."
Rolston added that Build Direct has more than doubled in size in the last six months.
"We have a lot of demands from an employment branding perspective, and KarmaHire has been critical to us being able to get to where we've scaled to right now."
Sokanu is another new career-seeking website. Funded by angel investors, it helps people find a new career. Users answer a series of questions that are matched to potential occupations based on a complex algorithm. They then complete a profile detailing their previous job experiences and are connected with people who are already successful in an occupation so they can ask them questions.
The site, which is focused on career discovery, offers no job listings.
Like KarmaHire, the company plans to generate revenue by issuing a premium version with a subscription fee in the spring.
The two-month-old site has already generated 10,000 users who answer an average of 90 questions each.
Jocelyn McLean, Sokanu's communications co-ordinator, said Spencer Thompson founded the company when he graduated from high school two years ago and realized that many of his classmates didn't know what they wanted to pursue as a career.
"There's this generalization that our younger generation is passive but with a sense of entitlement," she said. "And technology caters to that. Our generation expects to enter their information into a computer so that somebody will stumble on it and give you what you're looking for."
McLean said the traditional resumé's days are numbered.
"Sokanu is the idea of going beyond the resumé. Everyone has a bachelor's degree, so … people set themselves apart by telling their stories on how they got to where they are or by showing what their character or drive is like."
McLean said the Sokanu team has been encouraged by the international reaction it has received so far.
"We were picked up by a tech blog in Spain, and that really confirmed our vision and our mission to be relevant worldwide." •

POLICE officers are keeping an eye on vulnerable residents as winter sets in.
Cheshire Police has launched an initiative with Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, supported by the Met Office, to provide advice, guidance and support to those at risk from winter weather.
Assistant Chief Constable Janette McCormick said: "As part of the joint initiative, police officers and police community support officers have visited people most at risk of adverse weather conditions such as flooding or snow and ice.
"Officers have also identified members of our communities who may be vulnerable to being targeted by thieves and criminals because of their home circumstances.
"Everyone can feel isolated in their community, and in bad weather we can often feel alone, but there are particular members of our communities who are more vulnerable than most.
"It is this group of people we want to reach through this initiative to make sure they have the information at hand should they need help during the winter months."
So far more than 950 people have been visited across Cheshire, with officers also handing out community safety packs containing useful information and details of who to contact should they need further support or help.
Anyone wishing to access this support or other community safety advice visit cheshire.police.gov.uk or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Water Repellency Goes Nano: Carpet of carbon nanotubes cleans itself
The amazing water-shedding ability of the lotus leaf has long inspired materials scientists. The leaf's wax-coated microstructures cause rain droplets to bounce off the surface, carrying away with them dust particles and other contaminants. In trying to reproduce this so-called lotus effect in the lab, chemical engineers have fabricated a similar self-cleaning material out of forests of carbon nanotubes.

Russia's action against Finland's national carrier, Finnair, significantly raises the stakes in the standoff between the European Union (EU) and opponents of its emissions trading scheme (ETS). The European Commission (EC) protested the move, saying that Russia is now in breach of its obligations as a new member of the World Trade Organization.
But others are joining the fray and this is probably focusing the attention of the main protagonists on finding a new solution through ICAO. Also in June, the China Air Transport Association said that the Chinese government will start impounding EU airliners if European officials start punishing Chinese airlines for their officially sanctioned defiance of the requirement to comply with ETS monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon-dioxide emissions.
At least 10 non-EU airlines–understood to be from China and India–refused to meet an EU compliance deadline of March 31, 2012. EU climate commissioner Connie Hedgaard has given non-compliant airlines until June 15 to submit CO2 data and has threatened them with unspecified enforcement action if this doesn't happen. India also has declared that it will start withdrawing overflight rights from EU carriers if these threats materialize. As of press time, there was no word from the EC as to whether it has taken any sort of action against the non-complying operators.

Stadium Club seized by D.C. over owner's tax debt
(WJLA) - The District of Columbia, for all intents and purposes, now owns a strip club, but it doesn't intend to for long.
The city seized the high-profile Stadium Club on Thursday in an attempt to recoup debt owed to the District by its owner, James Redding. D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue officials say that Redding owes the city more than $100,000 in taxes from one of his previous business ventures.
That business, the TruOrleans Restaurant and Gallery on H Street Northeast, was shut down in September. According to the Washington City Paper, the landlord of the property had once tried to evict Redding and his restaurant because he owed more than $40,000 in back rent and taxes.
District of Columbia law dictates a business owner is personally responsible for sales tax debt and allows for the city to seize assets in an attempt to recoup that debt.
The Washington Post reports that the city will likely now sell off assets inside the Stadium Club, including possibly the building on Queens Chapel Road that houses it, to make up for the delinquent tax revenue.

It is quite a loose bunch, this New England Revolution side.
Minutes after New England outlasted Chicago 1-0 in the Eastern Conference Championship, a group of players that included Jay Heaps, Pat Noonan and Taylor Twellman emerged from the adjoining lounge inside the team's locker room. Huge smiles were plastered on their faces.
However, they were seemingly just as giddy about how their respective fantasy football teams were progressing during the afternoon after a quick check on the computer as they were about the team's berth in next weekend's MLS Cup.
"And I still have (Clinton) Portis going tonight," said one of them, alluding to the Washington Redskins running back.
That sort of talk is par for the course with these Revs, though.
For a team that has been in first place for the last eight months, it's not as though they are surprised that they will be the ones representing the Eastern Conference against the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday in MLS Cup 2005. It's almost like they expected it.
That sort of confidence and level-headed drive comes directly from coaches Steve Nicol and Paul Mariner and their "never get too high or too low" mantra, and is exactly the type of attitude that has allowed this team to put the dagger in teams late in matches.
New England has scored seven game-winning goals and four game-tying goals from the 76th minute on, which is astounding. It's why no one on this team seemed to blink an eye when they found themselves down two goals on aggregate against the MetroStars on Oct. 29, and why those same players didn't seem to realize just what they had pulled off afterwards.
That doesn't mean that this group of Revolution players is a bunch of robots, either. They were ecstatic after the match -- Matt Reis sprayed everyone in sight with champagne and bottles of Bud Light were passed around in celebration -- but it also seemed to be a team that was equally relieved to have lived up to their top-seed billing as one that is now 90 minutes away from hoisting the franchise's first Alan I. Rothenberg trophy.
"This was our goal all year long," said defender Joe Franchino, who will be playing his former team once again in an MLS Cup, just as he did in 2002. "We've been to four conference finals in a row and we've been to the final. But our ultimate goal is to win the Cup title. And we're feeling pretty confident right now."
That message was echoed by the simple words written on the team's board in the locker room: Congratulations -- one more to go.
The veterans that remain from that 2002 side -- Franchino, Heaps, Daniel Hernandez, Steve Ralston and Twellman -- can appreciate the current team's accomplishments more than anyone. They know what it's like to have to sneak into the playoffs on the last day of the season and how difficult it is to play in conference finals on the road as the underdog. Getting the chance to be the top dogs and enjoy home-field advantage was a welcomed change this fall.
"It's satisfying for us that we didn't have to make a run to be here," said Heaps. "We've been strong all year. Now it's our job to finish it off."
Finishing it off will not be easy.
On paper, this MLS Cup Final matches a No. 1 seed from the much-stronger Eastern Conference against a No. 4 seed from the West. One team set a team record with an impressive 17-7-8 record, while the other underachieved by finishing with a .500 mark (13-13-6) and was scored upon more times (45) than it scored (44). It seems like a mismatch at first glance.
Of course, the Los Angeles Galaxy are hardly a plucky group of upstarts who rode a wave of magic to get to Frisco. There are too many battle-hardened veterans like Chris Albright, Kevin Hartman, Cobi Jones, Tyrone Marshall and Pete Vagenas to ever say that. There's also the ultimate X-factor in the form of Landon Donovan, who is generally regarded as the league's best player and most dangerous playoff scorer in league history.
The Revolution players know very well that Donovan and Co. are not your average No. 4 seed. It's much like when the Los Angeles Lakers opened the 2002-2003 playoffs as the No. 5 seed in the West, yet were a team that no one wanted to play because they had the sport's best players in Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. Had the Galaxy not lost to the Earthquakes on the final game of the regular season, San Jose probably would've been much better off. Rather than have to face the Galaxy in a two-game series with the monumental challenge of shutting down Donovan for 180 minutes, it would have been less daunting to do it in a one-off at Spartan Stadium.
Now that the Galaxy have momentum on their side and Donovan is playing his best soccer (three goals and an assist in three playoff matches), it's not an easy matchup for the Revolution.
"I look forward to the challenge," said Franchino. "Landon is probably one of the best players in America right now, and Cobi Jones for all he's done for soccer in America and how he played last night, it'll be a huge challenge for us. I'm looking forward to it."
After losing to the Revolution, Chicago Fire midfielder Jesse Marsch seemed to give the edge to the Galaxy when talking about next week's match.
"The best player in MLS [Donovan] against New England," he said. "Landon is very hard to deal with, especially on a big field. He is going to find space on that field."
Landon versus New England is a matchup all to its own. But looking ahead, one of the other important matchups will be along whatever flank rookie James Riley starts on for the Revolution. Against Chicago, the Wake Forest product started on the right side of the midfield and was matched up against Ivan Guerrero, who didn't have one of his best games for the Fire. Steve Ralston moved to the left flank to accompany the change brought on by injuries to both Marshall Leonard (hamstring) and Khano Smith (bruised knee) during the second match of the Eastern Conference Semifinal Series against the MetroStars.
Against Los Angeles, he could find himself playing against either Jones or Ned Grabavoy, depending on what both coaches decide since both veterans -- Jones and Ralston -- are versatile enough to play on either side. Riley fought off a shaky first half against Chicago and was an instrumental part of the team's defensive effort during the second half as the Revs held onto their one-goal lead.
"My goal was just to play simple and defend more than attack," said Riley. "I couldn't sleep very well last night, but once I got into the game I treated it like any other game. If given the chance, I'll do the same thing against L.A. and try to treat it like just a regular game."
As loose as this Revs side seems to be, they'll likely do the same.

What Might Happen
Few mammals are preprogrammed for monogamy and yet, most of us cheerily toe the line of commitment in the face of biology. But limiting libidinous conquest to a menu of one can't cage the big fat sex organ in your head. Does a straying mind make you a stray dog? What are you freaks really thinking about in flagrante delicto?
In committed romantic relationships, extracurricular sex is generally frowned upon. That's why people call it "cheating." There are exceptions, sure. Some partners have open marriages, swing, or occasionally bring another person into the fold for added excitement. But by and large, most prefer a monogamous arrangement. Stay in the pasture. Eat the grass. No one has to release the hounds.
Of course, if your mind works anywhere close to normal, it's going to wander—at least occasionally. It ambles away on the morning commute, in class, while the boss is telling you something important. So how can you be expected to keep it laser-focused on the sexual here-and-now every single time?
The short answer? You can't.
Insert, remove, repeat.
Okay, let us first pray to your deity of choice, invoke the four winds and make a sacrifice to the flying spaghetti monster to ensure this is not an apt description of your sex life. If, however, you've reached a point where the moves have all been patented, you may be living in that odd purgatory where you're getting laid regularly, but it's become less captivating than, say, the Family Guy episode (which you've seen 37 times) that's serving as the background noise to your coupling.
At this point, does the mind look elsewhere for titillation?
"It depends," says Manuel, 39 straight and single. "Sometimes you get so used to your partner's actions and reactions in bed that you have to psychologically enhance the experience if they can't surprise you in subtle physical ways anymore."
The good news, according to some of the happily-marrieds polled, is that sex can be good, and continue to get better, in long-term relationships. And healthy fantasy—some shared, some kept clandestine—is part of the equation.
Case in point: Palmer and Susan. In their late thirties and married 12 years with two young boys, their lives are far more complex than when they were college sweethearts or childless newlyweds. Sex is less frequent, maybe twice a week as opposed to the daily romps enjoyed early on, "but it's more intense," says Palmer, "more fun."
In the years since getting together, they've moved from what Palmer calls "basic fucking" to a mode where other elements are incorporated. "Talking dirty, toys, or a certain environmental situation. If we're staying at a hotel, for example, we always do it on the balcony or in front of the window. The thought of somebody watching is a huge turn-on for both of us."
Fair enough. But back home, in real life, doesn't the mind occasionally drift?
"Absolutely. Isn't that what keeps sex with the same person for 12 years exciting? Though, when I do fantasize about other stuff, Susan is a part of the action. I never pretend that she's someone else. I don't cut-and-paste the hot bartender from the restaurant where we just ate into bed instead of Susan, but there's a good chance that while I'm fucking her, I'll imagine she's licking the bartender's pussy at the same time."
It doesn't hurt that Wifey often instigates with her own decadent dirty talk. "She'll say, 'What if that hot bartender was straddling my face right now? I'd stick my tongue inside her cunt and make her come in my mouth….' It's all over for me at that point."
Deep down, says Palmer, his favorite fantasies are rooted in the idea that they're not entirely implausible. "That's much more exciting to me than getting all worked up about something that will absolutely never happen."
What Won't
Claudia, 45, is 14 years married with two small children "…and a sex life that a lot of my friends envy," she says. "I can't say I come every single time—but I think that part of having great sex, of being a good lover, comes from open-mindedness, exploration and an understanding that your own orgasm isn't the only reason to have it."
There are occasions where her husband will give her "absolutely knee-locking, toe-curling" oral in the middle of the night, "and I just roll over and go back to sleep," she giggles. Sometimes, the scene flips and it's all about him. "More often, we both get off," she says, "but there's no pressure. It's not a contest. Why should it be? It turns me on just to turn him on."
Claudia admits to fantasizing amid the action on occasion. "Sometimes I don't think about anything specific. I just feel what's going on and fall into the act of being turned on, body and mind. The whole universe, all that has ever been, is buzzing between my legs," she laughs. But when her mind does wander, it moves not to the memory books, but ones that remain unwritten.
"I tend to think about things I probably wouldn't do in real life," she says. "Maybe I go to some swingers club and end up playing with a woman while her husband watches. Or I invent a friends-with-benefits fantasy with a fictional married woman. I've even had rape fantasies. Occasionally, I'll think about being with a real man I actually know; what that first kiss might be like, how his cock would feel and taste, how his body would react, that sort of thing. It's very exciting—that factor of unknown."
Claudia doesn't share these thoughts with her husband, though she sometimes tries to get him to talk about the girls who came before. "Maybe it's the security I feel in our relationship that allows me to be turned on by his past."
What Already Has
"My mind wanders all the time when I'm having sex with my wife," says Warren, 40, who calls their sex life after 14 years of marriage "active and fulfilling."
"Sometimes it's just bills or work or my parents or whatever. Sometimes I get a song in my head I just can't shake—which is actually cool because it can buy me a few extra minutes. But most of the time it's generally images and memories of girls I've fucked in the past or the ones who gave really great blowjobs. I have a couple of old girlfriends that I take in there with me on occasion."
Heather, 39 and single, is in a long-distance relationship. "We have our share of hot phone sex—and great sex when we're together—although my drive is much higher than his." Historically, she runs her own version of Warren's play when things in the bedroom aren't necessarily punching her clock. "If it's not good, I go to the highlight reel and replay an encounter that was amazing."
Conjugal Conflict
Damian, 36, finds himself in a situation he never thought would happen. "I love my wife deeply, but am starting to grow concerned about our differing attitudes toward and appetites for sex. It's strange to see my moods change when time passes without any. I start to get grumpy and pessimistic. I can get resentful and standoffish."
Sex is infrequent, he says. "And when it's available it is less enthusiastic than it has ever been. Although, I still come pretty hard." His biggest pet peeve? She never makes the first move.
"I instigate every session and it drives me nuts. I like to be dominated a bit sometimes. I don't want to be the leader every time. I want her to slide her hand into my shorts while we're watching TV. I want her to demand that I fuck her. I want her to grab my cock, to be forced and told. This element doesn't exist in my sex life and it's tough for me."
Even so, Damian's mind tends to stay where his body is in the bedroom. "Where it does wander is to the physical act itself. "There is very little in this world that fascinates me more than the vagina. I think about spreading it open and burying my cock or tongue deep inside it. I think about the color, the skin texture and even the smell. During sex, I go out of my way to make sure I can see the actual penetration. It's hot to watch my cock slide in and out."
Single Sex for Double X
Jane, 38, is a single mom and self-described, "100 percent, born-and-bred, dyed-in-the-wool, gold star-lesbian, meaning the last time I saw a penis, I was very young and it was purely by accident."
Recently ejected into the world of dating following a monogamous eight-year relationship Jane calls "satisfying in many ways, but not true love"—she says they were great friends, but almost never kissed or had sex. Jane feels semi-culpable. "She was so beautiful to me and I loved to hold her, look at her, date her and—as the lesbians do—snuggle her, but there was almost no chemistry."
Everyone's mind wanders sometimes, says Jane, "It might wander while someone is doing me—if it ain't so good—but it never, ever wanders when I'm doing someone else. I'm 100 percent there with her."
Think the Samantha character on Sex and the City is unrealistic? Meet Yvette, 34, who is doing so many men since the break-up of her five-year relationship (one she thought would culminate in marriage), that friends are unsure, quite frankly, how she manages to do anything else.
"I assembled first my 12 disciples," she laughs. "Then the numbers got too large and my friends suggested I field a baseball team—with men in the farm league, the minors, guys who had contracts extended. I like to say I have three franchise players; guys who have potential to make the final relationship cut."
Even with multiple partners, Yvette still finds her body might be with one while her mind is with another. "There is one guy who has the most flawless penis—long and wide with the perfect head. I sometimes fantasize about him when I know I'm close to getting off. Usually him tapping that perfect dick on my clit. Sometimes it's more situational. There's this basketball player I see who's 6'9" and it really turns me on to think that this guy is kneeling between my legs. Can you say 'power trip?!' "
What Matters
Matthew and Rick, 20, are identical twins. Both are business majors, both play in a basketball league, both love fixing up old cars, both love blondes. Matthew's current celebrity crush is Carrie Underwood. Rick's is Daniel Craig.
The point?
Even people with the same DNA find different things sexy, and once you move from the physical to the cerebral, there's no rhyme of reason to the things, scenarios, and situations people conjure up.
So, are you what's on your lover's mind when you're doing the nasty? The best answer our limited research can unearth: Sometimes. Don't feel any guilt about pretending he's your kid's hot soccer coach or she's Miss November. Or you're Miss November. Or anything, really. Why limit ourselves in one of the few places we can be limitless?

Ten Discoveries That Rewrote History
Book: Ten Discoveries That Rewrote History
Author: Patrick Hunt
Reviewer: Steve Knopp, Ph.D. student, Research & Policy Analysis, and member of NCSU Libraries' Student Advisory Board
Have you ever wondered about the true story behind the most fascinating findings in the history of civilization? This very short book outlines a fabulous account of each one of ten that you'll find spellbinding. The Rosetta Stone, King Tut's Tomb and The Dead Sea Scrolls are but three that I found thriling. But my favorite was the account of finding Nineveh's Assyrian Library. What a breakthrough!

How to make your hair defy its age
Our hair is one of the most versatile age-defying tools we have, says Dona Gia Clark of Salon Belladonna & Spa in South Tampa. "Hair can take years off our look," says Clark, 50, who wears her brown locks past her shoulders. "Many people think we should cut our hair short after we turn 40, but there are many women in their 50s and over who contradict this belief. You just have to find what looks good on you." Clark points to celebrities like Jaclyn Smith, Christie Brinkley and Kathie Lee Gifford as examples of woman over 40 who make long hair work. Whether you wear your hair long or short, these tips can help your hair defy your age.•Make sure your style is current but not too trendy; in most cases, updating your look can be achieved with minor changes. •Hair that is dull and damaged can add years to your appearance. Monthly conditioning treatments by a professional are key. Use quality professional products. •Avoid using "all over" hair color products. This can result in a dull and flat appearance. A better option is to choose colors that add highlights and lowlights. The most dramatic changes occur when you warm sallow skin tones with multidimensional tones. If you choose to keep your gray, use a brightening shampoo to combat unwanted yellow tones weekly, and finish with a shine spray.

The sky's the limit for young people in the Air Training Corps 2478 Abergavenny Squadron, as LAURA LEA discovered.
IT'S safe to say I wasn't sure what to expect when I turned up at the air cadets' base on a quiet Abergavenny lane on a drizzly Monday night.
My first experience as I entered the cabin – of uniformed teens in drill – certainly bolstered the dated pre-conceptions of an afterschool club for would-be officers. But who I actually met, was a group of smart motivated youngsters for who the sky, is quite literally the limit.
The 2478 Abergavenny Squadron on Pant Lane is one of nearly 980 Squadrons in the Air Cadet Organisation. They meet twice weekly and is made up of 32 cadets. Darran Williams is the officer commanding here and he has recently embarked on a recruitment mission.
"The numbers are down. I think kids have got a lot more to do these days and by that I don't mean just sitting at home in front of the Xbox," he said.
"It's trying to do something different – something they can't do anywhere else."
Darran became a cadet himself aged 14 before joining the air force two years later. He became an RAF helper and spent 14 years in the air force.
After he left, he grew his hair and had a beard, but it wasn't long before he came back and was commissioned as commanding officer – a role he has had for the last 11 years.
"All the guys on the units are volunteers. About 60 per cent of them have come through the units as cadets, then there are volunteer dads, others with previous military experience and some industry professionals who are used to dealing with leadership and management. We are all here for the kids at the end of the day. "
It is these volunteers Darran is now seeking to find. As a civilian instructor there is no commitment – you simply turn up when you want and teach what you want. On the uniform side of things, the officers are expected to commit to 12 hours a month.
You currently have to be 13-years-old to join the air cadets and the majority stay until they are 16 or 17 – around the age they discover pubs, Darran said. You can formally be a cadet until the age of 20, after which you become staff, but the amount staying over 18 is dwindling as most go to university.
Although there's no denying the military component, Darran said there is no pressure to pursue a military career.
"It's completely changed. It's such a wide group of kids that join now. Some join because they want to do their Duke of Edinburgh awards, some for the adventures and others who are just interested in flying."
Darran said the hardest part is just getting them through the door initially.
"You've got to sell it."
Darran goes out schools for new recruits, where his winning line is quite rightly: "We can teach you to fly."
"We can set you free in a glider on your own at 16, before you can even get a driving license. It's amazing," he said.
But this is only the start of it. The squadron's vast array of activities range from hill-walking flying, shooting, adventure training, and bush craft skills, to sports like football and hockey- an impressive offer for a £5-10 payment per month.
Anyone can join and cadets I met were an equal mix of girls and boys from all different schools. On the night I visited, one group were sent to tackle a tent into a trailer, some made air fix models while another hauled a hoover cleaning the base.
Darran said those who join are sometimes shy or not part of big friendship groups in school. "It brings them right out of their shell," he said.
With no one is this truer than 15-year-old Moira Taylor. Tough you wouldn't know it from chatting to this confident, personable girl, Moira barely spoke a word in her first months as a cadet. She said: "I wouldn't be able to talk to anyone if I wasn't a cadet. I didn't use to talk to people in school either."
The thing she loves most about cadets – "it's just the group of people. It's being involved."
"They form friends for the rest of their lives," said Darran, "You'd be surprised how many come here for the structure and discipline and then they just have a really good time."
It seems you do the less appealing part to reap the rewards – and there were no complaints from the Cadets I spoke with.
For those considering a career in the armed forces, there's no denying being a cadet certainly helps. These youngsters learn how to drill, parade polish their shoes to perfection.
For Chris Williams, 15, the military element is vital. "My dad was in the RAF and an ex-cadet and he told me about all his times here so I decided I wanted a career in the RAF too," he said.
His experiences in cadets have only strengthened his motivation. "It's given me leadership skills but also boosted my confidence. On parade there are hundreds of people watching you."
Chris, who enjoys flying and gliding, said: "We wouldn't get the chance to do it anywhere else. The friends I've made within cadets I know will be friends for life."
The social side plays a huge part in the cadets. As well as meeting in the week, there are weekend excursions that only multiply as the summers draws nearer.
There are two annual camps where according to Darran, the youngsters eat sleep and breathe the air force. Some 650 cadets from across the country are expected at the two-week summer camp this year.
Rob Powell, 24, is a civilian instructor. He said: "They chose to be here and want to learn about things so we see a massive difference in their attitudes.
Rob was a cadet when he was younger and said: "I think it was an interest I never lost."
Miles Isted s'Jacob [CORR] makes no denials that he joined for the free flying, but soon found he enjoyed the other things a lot more than he expected to.
"I've got into a lot of the leadership stuff. The more you put in the more you get out," he said."It's all about opportunities."
And the 16-year-old is definitely making the most of these opportunities, as he is now preparing to apply for the RAF.
But air force aside, the qualifications and skills on offer at the cadets can help with all different careers and futures.
Cadets can get a B-TEC in aviation studies, radio communication training and up to gold award in Duke of Edinburgh – all of which are vital additions to the youngsters' CVs.
Chris agreed and said: "I've applied to a few colleges and it's definitely helped. They know you can be trusted with responsibility. It's life skills."
Both boys, in immaculate uniform, said they used to be scruffy but now admit to having far better ironing skills than the average teenager.
This is an organisation full of the quirks of tradition alongside adventure in its rawest forms.
There are squadrons all over Gwent – in Blackwood, Blaina, Cwmbran, Caerleon, Newport and more. But to add to Darran's commitments, he's just set up a new group in Usk.
If you're aged over 20 and would like to volunteer, or if you would like to be a cadet, email Darran on email@example.com


text: I have decided to stay away from consumer products (ie: Garnier Fructis... L'oreal's Nature Therapy) this year because my hair doesn't seem to like them that much. I already have plenty of Kera Care, Mizani, a few Paul Mitchel and Kenra products. The other day I wanted to increase my collection and purchased Kenra's Moisturizing Shampoo, Moisturizing Conditioner, Intensive Emollient Treatment Conditioner and Light Leave-In. And let me tell you... I will be returning 3 of the 4 products (I'm keeping the Intensive Emollient Treatment Con). FYI: the poo didn't do anything for me. It didn't seem to detangle my hair, the con was good... I had some slip but it wasn't outstanding and the leave-in was awful...It didn't help detangle my hair like most liquidy leave-ins. my hair does best with creamy leave-ins anyways. But the Intensive Emollient Treatment Con is awesome. Very moisturizing, had a lil slip and my is soft and radiant. Anyways, I've been looking at Paul Mitchell's Moisturizing set the past few weeks... and I have been eyeing TIGI's Self Absorbed Poo & Con. Have any of you ladies tried them? What did you think?? ALSO, if i don't like them can i get my money back? I know I can return Kenra products because I read it on the label.

The Advanced Retinol day treatment SPF 30 by  StriVectin reduces the look of deep-set wrinkles and fine lines and hydrates and deeply nourishes skin. It plumps skin to restore its bounce and youthful contour, evens tone and leaves complexion radiant and refines and smoothes skin texture. For the first time, two of the most powerful anti-aging actives, NIA-114™ and Retinol, unite in one powerhouse treatment. For Retinol (vitamin A) to achieve age-fighting potency, it needs Niacin (vitamin B) to convert to its active form. StriVectin's proprietary NIA-114 molecule is one of the most active forms of Niacin. It has the ability to absorb deeply into skin and strengthen the moisture barrier, reducing Retinol sensitivity. Working as a dynamic duo, NIA-114 activates Retinol's age fighting power to work harder, faster, smarter without the irritating side effects. So you get superior age-fighting benefits throughout the day to fight deep-set wrinkles, even out tone and texture, and deeply nourish skin.

Yes, friends and neighbors, it's been exactly two months since I posted anything here, the largest gap of time without content that's gone down in four years. Ain't that terrible?
Not really.
A lot has transpired in the past two months, and I'm afraid that this poor blog has been my neglected child because of it. Owing to the success of Arkansas Food and Farm magazine last year, the Arkansas Times has not only expanded our issue count from two to four, they've also tapped me to edit a new publication, Arkansas Made, which will be coming out in June. And there's still the Eat Arkansas blog, which has expanded to include some new writers (and will hopefully expand more in the coming weeks).
Because I make actual money doing those other things, I've put them first. I'm sure you all understand.
But perhaps the best thing that's come of the past two months is that after several years of peddling my ass all around the freelance market, I've been hired on to do all these things full time. Which means that I'll have more time for my personal writing — which means that we shouldn't have another two month gap here on Foodies.
If you've kept up with us since we first started this thing from a 450-square foot apartment in wilds of Saline County, I'd like to thank you. It's been a fun journey, with only insignificant bumps along the way. Things are better than ever, and 2015 looks like the year that I finally get to do what I've always wanted in terms of promotion of the great state of Arkansas and all the wonderful food folks who live, breathe, grow, cook, and eat Arkansas food.
You guys rock, and we're going to rock along with you. Cheers, everyone, and here's to the happiest of new years!

HARTFORD, Conn. (Oct. 12)
An amendment to the State Constitution permitting the use of absentee ballots when election days fall on a religious holiday will be put before Connecticut voters on Election Day, November 3, climaxing a drive by Jewish leaders throughout the state who had called for the change after a number of local elections had been held on Jewish holidays.
Twice within the past five years, a number of Jewish voters in Connecticut were disenfranchised when city elections were held on Jewish holidays. The proposed amendment would permit voting by absentee ballot on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkos, Passover and Shevuos.
