Lessons from Africa
Sydney Amigo Learns value of being from Idaho while student teaching in Ethiopia.
Written by, Allison Stormo
Sydney Amigo, a third generation Vandal, has learned she can't take anything for granted. After spending her last term at University of Idaho student teaching abroad in Ethiopia, she appreciates her family, education and circumstances even more.
"We have it so much better than everyone else there," the 21-year-old said. She graduated in May in Spanish and secondary education.
Sydney, originally of Boise, spent January through May doing her student teaching in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, at the International Community School. She taught ninth- and 10th-graders Spanish.
The seed for teaching internationally was planted at an early age. She grew up in a bilingual home speaking in Spanish and English. Her father, Juan, is from Spain and is a Spanish teacher. He and Sydney's mother, Teresa Noble, a school counselor and University of Idaho College of Education graduate, decided to move overseas when Sydney was 12 and her sister Amaya was 10. The family left Boise and moved to Germany for two years, then they lived in Japan for another two years. It was during those years, Sydney learned to write and read Spanish.
Before returning to the U.S. when Sydney was 16, her family traveled extensively, and she has been to more than 30 countries. She says it was a priority for her parents to ensure she and her sister traveled and experienced the world.
"I thought it was a great experience and wanted to do international teaching," she said.
Although Ethiopia was not her initial student teaching assignment. When her top choices of India and Turkey did not work out, she was given Lagos, Nigeria, as her destination. However, Sydney decided it was not safe for her. In fact, the U.S. Department of State has issued a travel warning and recommends that U.S. citizens avoid all but essential travel to many parts of the country. Instead, she asked that she be given a new option. She selected Ethiopia over Dubai and Jakarta.
Sydney started her work by observing for two weeks. She transitioned into co-planning before solo teaching for a least a month. But she had a much different experience teaching abroad than her counterparts have in the U.S.
"It was a lot easier teaching experience there than I would have had here," she said referring to the U.S.
She had 24 students total and some classes had only five students. The small classes allowed Sydney to offer her students individualized attention. "They wanted to work for me because I wanted to work for them."
She wanted them to succeed. Even though she had great successes and helped some students bring their grades from a D to an A, that wasn't the case with everyone.
"I had this idea that all students have the same potential. I had this idea that they all had the same capacity to learn," she said.
Sydney had one student who really struggled. She met with the student one-on-one daily. And even though the student got outside help with other teachers, she still had difficulty remembering what she was taught.
"But that doesn't mean a teacher should stop trying," Sydney insists.
Although, Sydney said it breaks her heart when students can't succeed as she would like them to.
"I didn't know how much I would care," she said.
In addition, Sydney had the opportunity to work with students from all nationalities. She had students who were German, French, Malian and Turkish. She said the vast majority of her students have lived in at least three countries.
But while her students had traveled, she found many people living Ethiopia don't finish high school. She met many individuals who did not finish school because they went to work to help financially support the family.
"By far it is the saddest place I have ever been."
She said the poverty in the city is shocking. Sydney had this idea that the area would be metropolitan, but it was not as vibrant as she imagined. While she lived with a host family in a Western-style, there were shacks all over the city. She saw thousands of homeless people, pollution and poverty.
"I couldn't believe how many homeless people there were."
After her many trips abroad, Sydney always came back home feeling like she took something with her. This time is no exception.
"I can't tell you how grateful I am to be from here."
She plans on pursuing substitute teaching in the Palouse Valley during the next year while her boyfriend finishes school. They then plan on moving to New York where he plans on attending graduate school and she will pursue a job at an international school.

Durham >Food & Dining >
Bakeries >Mad Hatter's Bake Shop
1802 W Main St, Durham, NC | Directions 2770536.006374 -78.920144
Mon-Sat: 7am-9pm, Sun: 8am-4pm
Neighborhoods: Old West Durham
Love this place... – They have great breakfast burritos & muffins, usually a wait on weekend mornings but they have cute outside seating, great for spring weather here in NC. Also they have a special decorate your own birthday cupcake for kids, my girls love that...
$5.00 iced mocha?! – I took a friend here for coffee today and was amazed to find out that the Mad Hatter charges $5.00 for an iced mocha. It was just a bit of coffee and chocolate milk in a plastic cup full of crushed ice. Five dollars? Really? ----
They offer a selection of mediocre cooked food and pretty nasty danishes. The brownies and cookies are OK. The best thing there is the selection of croissants trucked in from the incomparable Guglhupf. Come early in the morning if you want to get one. If you come early in the morning, you'll also avoid their arbitrary midday wi-fi cutoff. ----
Not nearly as nice as Joe van Gogh or even the Broad Street Cafe, but the convenience to East Campus is hard to beat.
Great cakes/pastry. Below Average Coffee – The cakes are awesome! i would recommend the Strawberry Shortcake. The German Chocolate is also VERY good!
Too much icing, not enough cake – I purchased a piece white cake with chocolate icing from Mad Hatter's last night. I was shocked to find that most of it was icing. You could see where 1 pan of cake had been sliced in to 3 pieces and then stacked with excessive amounts of icing between each layer. Basically, each layer of icing was as thick or thicker than each layer of cake. The cake-to-icing ratio was way off. The cake had a good flavor, but I ended up scrapping the layers of icing off the cake. Otherwise, it would have been too much. I first went to Mad Hatter's 14 years ago and they made some of the best cakes around. As of late, the quality has taken a nose dive. It is obvious that Mad Hatters is making some adjustment in this shaky economy, but that doesn't mean you fill a cake with icing. I would rather have a shorter cake than one made taller with icing.
Amazing cakes! – We would go here anytime! My family has gotten lunch there many times and the food has always been wonderful. They have a nice selection and healthy options for kids. Their baked goods are hard to beat, and they have a large variety of specialty cakes to order ahead of time. We often like to stop in and browse the variety of cakes they have already available and select one of our old favorites (the mint is amazing, and the ever present black and white is always a nice treat). I love scones, and their chocolate chip scones are exceptionally yummy - but due to the high demand their batches sometimes sell out fast.
Where in the world has mad Hatters gone? oh where oh where can they be? – Wow. I had just picked up the phone to order several cakes from Mad Hatter for a party I am having. I am not going to place an order based on the negative reviews I have just read. Have been several times myself and thought the food was okay, but yes the wait staff was rude, and I figured at least the cakes that they built their business on would be safe. Obviously not. And obviously they need to get rid of the cake guy that seems to be coming up again and again in the reviews before Mr. Personality drives everyone away with his charm. Bye Mad Hatters. There are plenty of other great businesses that will be happy to give me my cakes..........
The worst noodle I can remember. – Ok, first, let me say that I actually like the place "ok". I think their bakery/cake stuff is ok. I like sweets. I like coffee. I like hanging out with my friends and drink coffee and eat sweets. This place is good for that.
But do not ever order their noodle soup. I should share the blame for ordering a noodle soup at a bake shop. I should have ordered something that is baked. Their noodle soup is simply the worst noodle soup I have ever had. This is nothing personal. It's just that, I look back at all the times that I ordered noodle soup, and I can name none that's worse.
Personally, I think almost all the mexican restaurants around here taste the same. You order one of those combos with a taco, burrito, and rice. Can you distinguish one from another? I can't. But this noodle soup is so bad that I'll always remember the place for how bad it is. Everything else is pretty nice. They should just take that embarrassment off the menu, if they haven't already. This was a while back.
Horribly Disappointing Wedding Cake – As a Duke undergrad, I loved the cakes at Mad Hatters, so when it came time to choose a baker for our wedding, Mad Hatters was the obvious choice. I ignored the advice of a florist, who told me that he was embarrassed about the looks and taste of a cake from here at a recent wedding that he helped with, thinking that surely he was just being dramatic. The only part of our planning process that went smoothly with this baker was the meeting where they got their money. After that, it made absolutely no difference what I had asked for (specifically no fondant icing) or how many times I called trying to speak with Jason, who I was told was the only person I could speak with to confirm my details. Not only did my cake come with fondant icing that was so dry it just fell off the cake when it was cut, the cake itself was so dry it must have been made MANY days ahead of our big day. Guests and family also expressed their disappointment with the cake, since I'd talked up how good it would be - how embarrassing! It pains me to even see pictures of the cake from our wedding day because it makes me angry all over again thinking about the $1,200 we wasted with these horribly organized and unattentive bakers. Don't make the same mistake I did.....or at least be prepared to write your own bad review after your event!
happy to have found it – after frequenting a number of like priced, quick food establishments, it is nice to finally see one deliver on their hype. i am sick of eating so so food out of baskets or the ubiquitous metal tray. at mad hatters, i got a tasty fresh meal (spicy shrimp wrap one time and goat cheese salad another time) in a great portion size on a real plate served in a warm light filled dining room surrounded by local art. considering their organic and made from scratch food the price is a bargain. i can easily spend as much at whole foods without the portion size, service or ambiance. i will come again and again - next time the specialty hot dog!
my fav haunt for tasty food and great treats – thank you mad hatter for having delicious organic food and friendly service. the atmosphere is wonderful and cheery. thanks for having the intelligence to cut off wi-fi at lunch - its nice when people are talking and enjoying the food and not clicking away ignoring each other. when i want to get some work done (wi-fi is only off during the lunch hours) i come in the early afternoon and surf away with coffee and cake! love this establishment and hope they will be around for years to come....

You might look into a rebuild of the Autorol valve that you have, could be that the flapper or flappers needed for the brine or pot perm draw are not working right or that there is a plug in the valve.
Hello! I'm happy I found this site and I hope you can help me out. I have a Technetic 1050 green sand potassium permanganate filtration system on my homes water system that was built in 1999. My problem is I'm not sure if it's drawing the pp or not. The level always seems to be the same throughout the regen cycle.
I cleaned the injector (it was plugged) and the screen (it wasn't plugged but it was discolored). I have also checked the float in the pp tank and it seems like it is working correctly (it is similar to this: http://www.softenerparts.com/PhotoGa...uctCode=BP1002).
A few questions I have... One is my air check system on the pump head is missing the ball. I'm not sure if this is correct or not as the float has a check ball in it for air. Is this correct? Or should I get a replacement air check system for the head (mine looks similar to this: http://www.softenerparts.com/Air_Che...p1032416.htm)?
Two I have sat through the regen cycle and watched the pp tank and it doesn't look like the level changes at all. I figure at some point it should draw it out and refill it. Again it looks like the float is working properly. I removed it from the tank and checked for motion. It will move just enough to open at the bottom. Is this correct?
Three what else can I check? The injector was completely blocked before I cleaned it and I'm wondering if something else is in the system that I can check for blockage.
Thanks for reading and please give me some advise! My water has a bit of sulphur odor to it and I think it is because the pp isn't cleaning the green sand filter properly.
You might look into a rebuild of the Autorol valve that you have, could be that the flapper or flappers needed for the brine or pot perm draw are not working right or that there is a plug in the valve.
Can you manually asvance the unit through a cycle? If you can, put unit into a draw cycle. Disconnet the tubing from the pp tank and check for a suction. If not suction, than the injector, flappers or both needs to be replaced.
One more thing... is the air check on the mechanism supposed to have a ball in it or does it not matter because the float system has an air check ball in it?
Thanks for the replies!
As long as you have some type of air check it does not matter. Replacement of the flapper is very easy. It's just a matter of removing all the screws that hold them in place. Do you have a manual for the valve?
The injector was plugged and the water flow through the valve in that port may be blocked. A pipe cleaner works very well to clean the internal ports.
Technetic is not made anymore so I don't know if you are going to be able to find new flapper valves. I was a Technetic dealer for some time back in the 90s and IIRC, the flappers were proprietary to the valve and different than other flappers but I may be wrong.

CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
Alright. So now I got it to draw properly I think. Weird this is after I cleaned everything I started a regen cycle and the pp tank was empty. Should it be full when the regen cycle starts? Anyway I filled it up manually and when it came to the draw cycle it drew from the tank no problem but during the refill cycle it didn't refill the pp tank (so it is now dry).
Also can anyone tell me if this is in fact a Technetic? On softnerparts.com it seems like a lot of the generic parts (Autotrol parts) will work in it (like the air check and the injector caps, possible the flapper valves, etc.)
Here she is:
Yes it is a Technetic but I don't recall that timer. It may be a filter version or the second generation of the valve. Some of the parts may be interchangeable with regular Autotrol valves but I think some were not.

Chris Kenny, Australian columnist-blogger and host of Viewpoint and Friday Live on Sky News Australia, recalls his experiece with the ABC for the "Diary" column in this week's edition of The Spectator Australia.
Last Saturday, in their special election morning edition of ABC's News Breakfast, Michael Rowland and Virginia Trioli took a look at "the great campaign moments this year" and announced awards for campaign winner and loser.
The Spectator Australia editor Tom Switzer wrote an excellent opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal on the federal election.
Executive editor and co-founder of The Weekly Standard Fred Barnes has written the Diary for The Spectator Australia this week.
When Steve Cannane asked Julian Morrow of The Hampster Decides about his take on Wednesday night's leaders' debate, who could argue with his response?
Reporting Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's declaration that Labor's election campaign would be a positive one, focussing on policies, the ABC's Lyndal Curtis has come up with another classification for an ALP ad.
During his first time in power from December 2007 to June 2010, Rudd espoused so many different positions, often repeatedly and stridently, that he left the impression that his positions were always suspect.
The recent treatment of climate realists Professor Bob Carter and Professor Murry Salby isn't exactly what you'd expect in a liberal democracy, James Delingpole writes.
Kevin Rudd's government, more than any other, most looks like Whitlam's, Gerard Henderson argues in his Sydney Morning Herald column this week.
Family First is likely to line up with the Abbott government on most legislation going through the Senate, but South Australian Senator-elect Bob Day has signalled some significant differences.
Liberal Party federal director (and Coalition campaign director) Brian Loughnane says all sides of politics are united on the need to examine the Senate voting system.
Attorney-General George Brandis will seek advice on the legality of the same-sex marriage bill introduced yesterday into the ACT Legislative Assembly, PM Tony Abbott says.

Austin >Food & Dining > Maru Japanese Restaurant
4636 Burnet Rd, Austin, TX | Directions 7875630.317841 -97.740021
Mon. - Sat. 11am - 2:30pm;Sun. CLOSED
Neighborhoods: Brentwood, Brentwood - Highland
Maru is a quaint, Rosedale favorite for sushi and japanese cuisine. It's definitely a quiet spot, but the sushi shines through all the simplicity.
Best Sushi in Austin – This is the absolute best place to get sushi in Austin, and I am including Uchi in that statement. I spent a semester in Japan, and Maru makes me feel like I'm back in Osaka. They are currently redoing their interior, and it looks fantastic. The sushi is superb. If you take one bite of the samurai roll, you'll be sold for life.
Good food – Unassuming place with super fresh sushi. Better quality seafood than Umi's. Sushi portions were reasonable also.
Ok sushi, over priced – My wife and I were excited to try Maru and went last week on a Tuesday evening. Got right in, friendly enough and we ordered a ton (eyes too big for our stomachs)...have to say the stuffed mushrooms were great and a price performer! The standard tempura was fine, the standard sushi (calif, spicy tuna and philly) were sub par for our tastes; the specialty rolls were ok - my eel roll was too fishy, the tiger good, and another crunchy one we didn;t love even though it had our fav companents.
When we finished we both looked at eat other and went for this $$$ I'd rather go to Mushashino which is heads and shoulders above in quality and taste.
No bad, just not good enough for us to come back.
Yummy! Forever a repeat customer – The sushi is tasty and surprisingly filling. Of all the sushi places I've been (and I've even worked in a couple in my day), I always find Maru to have the most memorable-tasting sushi. It's definitely one of those restuarants you think about and crave for days after you leave. I always have to get the Stuffed Mushrooms, an appetizer big enough to serve as a whole entree. But all of their sushi is very good. The decor isn't too fancy, so if you're looking to impress a colleague or your boss, this probably isn't the place. It's more casual/low-key, but still cute. My boyfriend and I look forward to it almost every weekend.
Bad service; Sushi not great – We were so excited to finally try Maru because I love sushi and the restaurant is right in our neighborhood. It was a HUGE dissapointment. We were greeted right away, which was nice, and our drinks came quickly. But, after that, we sat and waited for a long time for someone to take our order. A different waiter came to our table and rushed us through our order. We explained to him that we were going to start with a roll and an order of sushi and then order more after that. The sushi took a long time to come out. The salmon sushi was okay. The roll (Dragon Roll) was terrible. The fish was mealy and the pieces were too big. It also turned me off that the restaurant was warm, so the sushi didn't stay cold long. We decided that we would try one more thing just to give it another try, but our waiter never came back. All of our drinks (beer, sake, water) were empty. We lined them up at the edge of the table to get someone's attention. It did not work. We finally flagged down the hostess and asked her to just bring the check.
I would not recommend this place. The service was awful and the sushi was not good.
Great Sushi!! – The atmosphere in Maru is very easy going and the service is nice and friendly. The sushi there is excellent!! I always go there with family and friends, we love the California roll and Shrimp Crunch roll. If we want good sushi, Maru will be the first restaurant that comes to mind! I will recommend it to anybody!! The food taste Healthy and homemade but Very Tasty!!
a certain brown insect and poor management ruined it – I was having a great time here, the sushi is really outstanding. Half way through my meal at the sushi bar a mid sized insect (you know the one- for some reason City Search won't let you write it) scurried across the counter top towards my plate. I instinctually brushed it away and tried to continue to enjoy my meal. A few minutes later either the same brown insect or a new one climbed ON TO my plate! I notified the waiter and he wisked the plate away without so much as an apology. When I got my check there was no discount, and the manager never came and spoke with me about the experience. I waited a few days and then called and asked to speak to the manager- Howard. Come to find out he had actually been my waiter that night. After explaining that the situation was still bothering me and I wanted to call and let them know about it, he was not apologetic, did not say or do anything to make me feel better- he just didn't care. Lets hope the insects aren't crawling on the food behind the scenes too. If he had just made more of an effort, or seemed a bit mortified like he should have been- I might give them another chance, but now you better believe I will tell everyone I can about this negative experience!
Find sushi rolls and nigiri favorites in ever-evolving Rosedale neighborhood. – In Short
In the middle of a burgeoning restaurant row sits this casual sushi bar. The minimal décor of Japanese prints and vases stays with the menu. There's they typical sushi/bento restaurant fare, (California rolls with a side of miso) with exceptions like teriyaki and nigiri and handrolls that attract a lunch crowd. At night, hipsters and bobos come to wash down the ever-popular caterpillar and dragon rolls with beer, wine and sake. BYOB is A-OK.
Good Sushi Bad Bad Corkage Fee Charge For A Place With No Liquor License – Maru has good sushi, decent prices, and while the ambience is not fancy or fabulous, the attentive staff and friendly management provide an enjoyable environment for dinner.
My major complaint, and what will likely drive me to stop eating at Maru, is that they charge a "corkage" fee for folks who bring their own liquor, yet they do not have a liquor license and thus cannot themselves provide the beer, wine, and sake. To me this is a misguided and unscrupulous business practice. When I sought some kind of explanation from our waiter and management, they merely shrugged and laughed at my critical observation.
A corkage fee is right and necessary when the restaurant misses out on the opportunity to sell from their stock because of the preference of a patron to bring his/her own alchohol. When the restaurant has not made the investment in obtaining the license and thus cannot provide any drinks, management puts the responsibility for doing so on the customer. Why should we be charged for making the extra effort to provide a product that the restaurant has elected not to provide?
As I said to start, Maru has good food and nice service. I will return to eat at Maru only after they discontinue the ridiculous corkage charge or obtain their own liquor license. Who doesn't want hot sake with sushi? I would gladly pay the rates charged for such service. Sadly, when the waiter and manager let me know they do not care about my concern, they also lost a few good customers and also motivated me to write this review.
Delicious and reasonably priced! – Maru does not offer a glitzy, yuppie atmosphere like a lot of Japanese restaurants. Instead, you get amazing food at a reasonable price served in a relaxed, come-as-you-are Austin establishment. The sushi is better than anything else I've had in Austin including Musashino, Kenichi, DK's, Sushi Japon, Sushi Sake, Shilla, Ichiban... Maru's signature dishes offer very new flavor combinations--daring and delicious; try the J-Bomb and the Samurai Roll.
Despite the laid-back atmosphere, neither the food nor the service ever suffer. The waitstaff is attentive and courteous. I have frequented Maru since it opened. In the past three weeks I have been four times; the food is consistently good and reasonably priced--I love it and I think you will too!

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"Profound, no, but sincere and heartfelt: could be the affirmative novel about 9/11 that a lot of readers are waiting for."
Kirkus, 11/01/2002Review:
"The dissonance between the world in which the 9/11 tragedy can happen and Wendy's subsequent Neverland, where nothing threatening looms and no one even curses, is disconcerting. There is never any fear that Wendy, unsupervised in a strange place, staggering beneath a loss that has damaged her forever, will fall through the cracks. There's little evidence of drugs or alcohol....Everyone is good. This does make for uplift--THE USUAL RULES--succeeds in being a sunny novel, despite its premise--but sunniness doesn't make for particularly compelling drama....And yet Maynard does manage to pull a rabbit out of this particular hat. Her gift for creating realistic and heartfelt domestic moments succeeds in convincing us that Wendy has found a reason to go on in the midst of her tremendous sorrow...."

Nothing gets past a Manhattan doorman. Not even 25 CEOs from Korea, collectively representing one-fifth of the nation's GDP. As part of their weeklong visit to Columbia Business School, the group visited the famously white-glove Metropolitan Club for an event hosted by GC Andersen. The establishment has but one rule: everyone must wear a tie. Unfortunately, no one in the group was wearing one.
However, the tie-less executives cheerfully divvied up the backroom emergency stash — paisley and all — and proceeded to the special event in high spirits. The moment, noted faculty director of the Korea CEO program Prof. Cliff Schorer, exemplified the warmth and flexibility that they displayed during their stay.
In mid-September, two groups of high-level executives from China and Korea completed Executive Education courses in general management, conducted site visits and networked with US executives and each other. Asia's growing role in international finance has brought an increasing number of executives to American universities to learn how to sustain and scale their own economic growth, and how the US economy impacts their own. Columbia Business School has partnered with the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business and Global Education Network to offer different types of programs for those executives.
For both groups of CEOs, the coursework — which bridged practice and theory — had historical implications as their final week of classes, held in New York City, coincided with one of the most tumultuous weeks in Wall Street history.
Economic Insights
Prof. Wei Jiang, responding to the week's news, gave a presentation to the Chinese CEOs and discussed the impact of the current financial crisis on Asian markets. She placed the crisis in a historical long-cycle context and offered insight on what is new to this crisis. Using the example of Morgan Stanley's reported real estate offering in Shanghai in early September, Prof. Jiang considered how the current financial crisis is different than the crisis in 2001.
"Now they are looking at their balance sheet, and suddenly those assets they hold in China become their most sellable assets," said Prof. Jiang. "Because the foreign investment in China are real [estate] assets and are a relatively new phenomena, China doesn't have any experience with the contagions of financial crisis through the asset sales channel."
Understanding the economic implications of the trade imbalance was also of interest to the group and part of the group discussion, she said.
"The real reason for a trade imbalance is a fundamental imbalance in savings behavior. In the end, a country that consumes more than it produces will import from a country that produces more than it consumes," she said. "In the US, they worry that people don't save. In China, they have the opposite headache, and people don't spend."
Management Style
Another area that was covered as part of the Chinese CEOs' course work was cross-cultural differences in management style. Prof. Joel Brockner, faculty director of the China CEO program said differences in management style were less important than how they are managed and discussed. For example, the issue of "power distance" differs between American and Chinese management styles.
"You read a lot about employee involvement and how you need to involve them in decision making. That's a Western principle," said Prof. Brockner. "In China there is not the same feeling. People at the bottom aren't expecting or wanting to be involved in decision-making. We are preaching involvement as our management style and we assume low-deference to authority. But in China there's more high deference."
"Asian businessmen tend to be more introspective," said Prof. Schorer. "They absorb, consider and ponder versus shooting from the hip."
Global Vision
On the morning of Sept. 29, the Korean executives had an unexpected surprise: a site visit to the New York Stock Exchange with NYSE president Gerald Putnam became front-row seats to the biggest single-day drop in Dow Jones history.
The timing of the visit, coming at the height of chaos in the financial markets, generated much stimulating discussion according to Prof. Schorer. The US market collapse in 1987 (25% drop in one day) and the subsequent Asian financial crisis were both really confined to an identifiable geographic region. It was an eye-opener to see how immediately this crisis spread, and how the domino effect, caused by the subprime debacle, spread fear and reaction around the world so quickly, Prof. Schorer said.
Wall Street's role as the center of global finance was also the focus of discussion in a special class session with Prof. Ray Horton, who gave a presentation to both groups of CEOs on the changing distribution of global power.
He asked the groups to consider what the world's distribution of power will look like in 20 years and whether the world would have one, two or more poles of control. Breakout groups debated and then assigned probabilities to all the type of international power structures. Both the Chinese CEOs and the Korean CEOs were split between a unipolar world, with either the US or China leading (usually the US), or a bipolar world, with both China and the US, said Prof. Horton.
Their conclusions mirrored the overall tenor to the visit.
"The Korean CEOs had a global vision and a heightened recognition that we're seeing how integrated we've become," said Prof. Schorer. "We're all now related in this web of commerce and investment."

wham bam sam welcome to the forum
So, I am a new member to this site and don't really understand everything just yet, but I look forward to learning more about art here. I have been drawing manga seriously for just about a year, so I am not very good. Hopefully with the help of other members I will improve though
I live in England, and am pretty much your standard Otaku. As well as drawing, I like to paint, watch anime, play piano and do martial arts.
Not really sure what else to say at the moment, but thank you for making such a useful site, the tutorials are really helpful!
From UnmeiOTsukuru
P.S you can call me Sam if you prefer
Welcome to the forum Sam. What a coincidence though, because there's another Sam from England that just posted on the Welcome Wagon. http://www.mangatutorials.com/forum/...?21972-Hello-)
Anyways, hope to be seeing some of your art soon.
So, It has been about a month now, but I have been really busy with school lately. Anyway, I plan to put some drawings on the critique corner page, so please help me out by giving advice!

Ok my epic post before, when you showed the power cards and talked about the others.
The two cards I had to choose between were Fancy Footwork and I think Hanging around, it was a speed attack I know. Anyway I figured odds were good I could double dip with Fancy footwork (Which I admit I at first thought is not so great a card, before I had so many level 1's in my deck... plus I had too many purple blocks anyway...) anyway he lucky blocked then finished me with purple attack. DOH!
You have no idea how you posting those cards is giving me the itch to buy cards, I could actually get one of the uncommon ones. (heck small odds to get on wheel)... I have only bough two packs when they were on sale.
I have been holding out hoping they will be silver... or at least cheaper.

Lets talk strategies, when I am making a deck I look to overload your blocks. What factors come into your guys mind when making a deck?
Breeding, darling. Top class breeding.

Usually I have 7 of Strength, Speed, Tech, and Elemental because they generally tend to come up more often. Then 6 of Animal and Energy.
This tends to work... but, I lost to Baron Zemo because he had a high number of Strength cards in his Tourney deck...! I spent many of my Strength blocks against the multiple Hulk "Strongest There Is" cards, which hit for 12. But then with his last move he hit me with his "Punch Out!" card which has double Strength Factors, and I had nothing left to block it with.
So although balancing tends to work well, you have to be prepared for people's decks too.. I tend to keep a balance of blocks in my hand at all times. If you can discern some type of theme in the opponents' deck, then switch strategies to playing cards with have blocks you don't need, and hold onto ones that do. (So in other words, once I realized his theme, I should have held onto every Strength and Animal Block that came my way, while spending cards with Energy, Elemental, and Tech blocks).
Current Top Comics: Daredevil, Hawkeye, Fables, Fatale, Winter Soldier, Young Avengers, The Massive, Revival, Thor: GoT
When I make a deck I look for cards that work together. For example, with my Wakandan Thunder deck I started with Panther cards, Panther than connected to Storm who connected to Thor.
I have two favorite decks. The first is a Spidey based one that is just about all costs only 1 power to play and has multiple special effects which allow you to play another card from your hand or discard pile. On a few different occasions I've been able to chain 4 cards in a single round.
My second favorite deck is all Avengers and it has a lot of keepers. It gives bonuses for how many keepers you have in play and also some cards which do damage when you add a keeper.
The strategy for taking down the higher level missions is to pretty much play against them and pay attention to what the majority of the card types they play. Then go and build a deck with a lot of blocks based on what the majority of their attacks are.
Yeah. For example, the Super Skrull at the end of the new Mr Fantastic quests has no Green or Silver cards.
So I built a deck that had 10 blue blocks, 10 red blocks, 10 purple blocks and 10 orange blocks and it really wasn't that hard to beat him 4 times.
It's amazing how powerful that Infinity Blaster card can be if the cards fall right. The first time I beat the Super Skrull challenge, I was getting massacred - down to 6 cards while he still had 28. I played the Infinity Blaster card and it kept repeating and by the end of it, they were down to 2 cards. I blocked their next attack and it was over on my next turn.
Considering there are a LOT of tech blocks in that deck (they just happened to keep falling on the second card during my repeating attacks), the card actually feels broken to me. It shouldn't be possible to do 26 damage in one turn. Anybody else have this kind of luck with the Infinity Blaster?
Not yet but in one of the quests where you fight Thing I was winning by around 20 to 5 when he played one of them and killed me on that turn. Needless to say, I was annoyed
Are you guys considering a "CURVE" when building your decks? Also, does anyone know what are the strengths of each color?
Was there ever a Rogue card quest? I found these:
I went to see if there was a Rogue quest and it didnt show up..

The Breakdown: Dortmund vs Real Madrid
A physically fitter and sharper Borussia Dortmund played their gameplan to perfection in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.
By Suhas Bhat
Having left their league woes to the wayside, Jurgen Klopp's side were excited to welcome the La Liga champions and produce a good result in front of a raucous home support. In fact, the German side did just that as their quick attacks and determined runs ran the Real defence ragged. Impressively, most of their attacks were based on one-touch passing making it seem like the players possessed a telepathetic understanding of one another's intentions.
But they were also helped by uncharacteristic mistakes by the Real backline as Robert Lewandowski carved out a goalscoring opportunity after Pepe's stray pass allowed him to race clear and catch Iker Casillas unawares. Marcel Schmelzer, similarly, benefitted from a mistake by the usually-focused goalkeeper whose poor attempt at punching away a cross allowed him to hammer home the winner.
Cristiano Ronaldo did help score one back for the visiting side but wasteful shooting by Angel di Maria and resolute defending by the Germans meant that he could not prevent his side from enduring their first defeat in continental competition this season.
Borussia Dortmund
Much like Real's arch-rivals Barcelona, Dortmund sought to play their way out of the defence and this helped them dictate the tempo of the game. They sped up their passing whenever Michael Essien or another Real player was out of position and kept control of the ball when finding a way through to goal seemed difficult.
They were also helped by astute decision-making by goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller as the 32-year-old repeateadly came forth to scoop up through-balls in order to prevent Ronaldo from getting an opportunity to rifle in shots from within the box.
Moreover, they communicated really well with one another and ensured that no player was rooted to a particular spot and was constantly moving in order to keep the roaming Real attackers in check.
Weidenfeller - 8 | Subotić - 8 | Hummels - 8 | Piszczek - 8 | Schmelzer - 8.5
There was a distinct gap between midfield and attack as Sebastian Kehl and Sven Bender were relatively withdrawn in comparison to Mario Götze. It didn't matter a great deal, though, as accurate passing into areas of space helped bridge that distance within a matter of seconds during the many Dortmund counter-attacks.
Bender was a bit wasteful with his shots on goal, however, and should have really passed the ball more often but the two midfielders were otherwise superb with regards to their defensive responsibilities.
Götze showed hints of his remarkable technical ability but he wasn't exactly a game-changing presence in this particular fixture.
Kehl - 8 | Bender - 7.5 | Götze (off 87') - 7.5
While Lewandowski may have scored the opener, helping his side grab the momentum with the effort, it was former Gladbach wonderkid Reus's intelligent play that was a key difference between the two sides. The 23-year-old pounced upon the weakest of passes and effortlessly dribbled and kept the ball within his control despite challenges flying around him in every direction. In effect, he carried out the role of a ball-playing target man and allowed his team-mates the time to make the transition from defence to attack.
The Polish striker's finish should not be underestimated, however, as he took the ball into the box and unleashed a pin-point shot that no goalkeeper in the world would have saved.
Reus - 8.5 | Grosskreutz - 8 | Lewandowski - 8.5
Klopp's substitutions didn't change the complexion of the game but they did help run down the clock.
Gundogan (on 67') - 7 | Schieber (on 87') - N/A | Perisic (on 91') - N/A
Real Madrid
The defence is primarily to blame for the loss of three points as Essien, positioned as a left-back, was repeatedly situated in no man's land. Either he was too far forward, allowing Grosskreutz to sneak down the right and send in crosses with alarming regularity (one of which led to Dortmund's second goal) or else he camped himself inside his own half when Ronaldo or Di Maria could have used his help up in attack.
Pepe's weak pass forward to Alonso led to the opening goal and Raphael Varane, his defensive partner, could not demonstrate the aggression required to impose is presence in the game.
Casillas, on the other hand, would feel hard done-by as he made a brilliant save off a Kehl shot and seemed the sharpest player in defence. Manager Jose Mourinho would have been concerned by his captain's poor handling skills, though, as the Spaniard flapped at crosses instead of plucking the ball out of the air as Weidenfeller would have done.
Casillas - 7.5 | Ramos - 7 | Pepe - 7 | Varane - 7 | Essien - 6
An injury to Sami Khedira forced his early withdrawal from the game. Alonso was thereby forced to backtrack in order to help Modric, Khedira's replacement, and this prevented him from making the long-range passes that we're accustomed to seeing from him.
But the creative burden, as always, fell on Mesut Ozil who had a mixed game overall. He missed a sitter early on but then made several dangerous passes in the first half although his presence was rather muted in the second. Di Maria, for his part, was frustrating as he tried to grab the headlines with a number of attempted piledrivers when the likes of Karim Benzema and Ronaldo were in better goalscoring positions.
Khedira (off 20') - 7 | Alonso - 7 | Di Maria - 6.5 | Ozil - 7
Only three times have Real lost when Ronaldo scored and all three occasions have been against Barcelona but Dortmund added their name to the list by effectively nullifying the Portuguese star's presence. The defenders matched his pace whenever he sought to burst clear and did not give him much of an opening apart from when he scored Real's only goal in the first half.
Benzema, on the other hand, was dangerous with his passing but was offside too many times to really pose much of a hindrance to the German side.
Benzema (off 73') - 6 | Ronaldo - 7.5
Somewhat strangely, Modric was instructed to play in the anchorman role, where he had to shield the defence, and this move backfired spectacularly as he just does not have the positional awareness or the physical strength required to be effective. He is much better at making slide-rule passes in the final third and whenever he did try to send players through from the halfway line, the ball took forever to reach the intended target and was often intercepted.
Higuain was brought on too late and perhaps, in hindsight, Kaka would have been a better replacement as Ozil was struggling to come up with the crucial pass in the second half.
Higuain (on 73') - 7 | Modric (on 20') - 6

Healthy Marriage
Healthy Marriage By Greg Abbott Attorney General of Texas Ask a child whether she wants to live with both parents or just one, and she will choose both most every time. Children are born yearning for a mother and father who love them and who love each other, and they suffer if that need isn't met. That's not just a lofty ideal; it's the overwhelming finding of marriage research. "Why Marriage Matters," a report issued by a dozen nationally recognized experts in the field of marriage research, summarizes many of the ways marriage benefits children: Marriage increases the likelihood that children will stay out of poverty, do well in school, get a job, be healthy, have good relationships with their fathers, and wait to become parents. Children living with their married biological parents also are less likely to be abused, commit suicide, spend time in jail, and abuse drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, a growing number of Americans don't view marriage and parenting as a package deal. Births to unmarried parents nationally have skyrocketed from less than 6 percent of total births in 1960 to more than one-third today. This isn't heartening for anyone concerned about the best interests of children. At the Office of Attorney General, we see the impact of out-of-wedlock births every day. More than half of the one million children we serve through our Child Support Division were born to unmarried parents. Establishing paternity and collecting child support are just a couple of the many ways we help give these young ones a future filled with hope. But is this enough? One boy I met recently is a star student, despite being abandoned by his father. The boy and his mom were thrilled we were tracking down the thousands of dollars in child support his dad had refused to pay. Yet, there was an emptiness in his life that all the money in the world couldn't fill -- a vacuum left by a father who was no longer around. As a compassionate state, Texas does everything it can to help these children, through child support and the array of other social services we provide. But when will we begin to focus more on a path of prevention, and not just a bridge to recovery? The fact is, healthy, married families are the best child support there is. A child is loved there, supported there, protected there. We can encourage more healthy marriages by helping unmarried parents interested in building a healthy marriage acquire the skills and information they need to make informed decisions and to manage the challenges that arise in marriage. We also can arm them with information about relationship-building skills and cooperative parenting. Do any unmarried parents want help building a healthy marriage? Yes, according to a major Princeton University study. When asked at the time of their child's birth, 53 percent of unmarried mothers and 63 percent of unmarried fathers reported being interested in a healthy marriage program. For a healthy marriage initiative to work, it cannot be done through coercion or guilt, but only by appealing to couples already inclined toward marriage. We also must take seriously the issue of domestic violence, making safety our number one priority. And we will continue to support single parents, who face significant challenges in raising their children. Of course, the path of prevention is never a quick fix. It took decades for us to get here, and turning things around for Texas families and children won't happen tomorrow. But we must start the journey. Collaborations involving the public and the private, the religious and the secular, the liberal and the conservative are crucial to supporting healthy marriage. My office is sponsoring a series of six regional summits across Texas to bring these varied stakeholders together. Partnering with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Workforce Commission, we are convening community leaders to discuss how we can support healthy families and healthy marriages. We owe it to our children to do this, because if we don't, it is they who will suffer the consequences. POINTS TO REMEMBER Valuing Texas Families The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) is committed to valuing Texas families and children. As a compassionate state, Texas does everything it can to help children in need. Last year, the OAG collected a record $1.67 billion in child support that helps pay for food, clothing, shelter and other necessities for children. To truly work for the best interests of children, Texas should also encourage healthy marriage. Children living with their married parents are more likely to · Live above the poverty line; · Do well in school; · Get a job; · Be healthy; · Have good relationships with their fathers; and · Wait to become parents. They are less likely to: · Be abused; · Commit suicide; · Spend time in jail; and · Abuse drugs and alcohol. As a first step, the OAG has sponsored summits to discuss healthy marriage with leaders in six communities around Texas. Information on this and other topics is available on the Attorney General's Web site at www.oag.state.tx.us.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A nice contrast to the Macherelles, the 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Maltroye is quite a bit brighter and more taut than its Chassagne sibling. There is an underlying salinity that gives the Maltroye its energy and focus. Floral notes add lift on the crystalline, articulate finish. This is a..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bruno Clair's 2009 Savigny-les-Beaune La Dominode is fabulous in this vintage. The warmth of the year has filled out the wine beautifully. The 2009 is ripe, exotic and flashy. I especially admire the juxtaposition of fleshiness and insistent minerality." (Antonio Galloni)
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A cool, airy and very pretty aromatic profile of stony essence of red pinot fruit that is cut with the barest whiff of the sauvage gives way to impressively rich medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent volume and detail on the firm, tautly muscular and robust finish. This is combination of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Here too a background application of oak is visible on the intensely earthy and beautifully complex nose of both red and blue pinot fruit, earth, violet and plum scents. There is good size, weight and power to the relatively supple mid-palate though the firm core of tannins is apparent on the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Nuit Saint Georges Aux Thorey is a big, forceful wine bristling with energy and class. Saline, mineral notes give the Aux Thorey tons of cut. The fruit fleshes out big on the finish, adding depth and volume, but without sacrificing the wine's focus..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... wood combines with notes of menthol and extract of red berry fruit, earth, underbrush and game hints. There is a bit more verve to the suave and seductively textured mineral-driven flavors that offer fine depth and excellent persistence..." — Allen Meadows
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Chalumeaux is graced with considerable finesse in its citrus, white flowers and licorice. The Chalumeaux is one of the more restrained wines here. As such, it is quite a bit less overt and forward, but instead relies on its class and mid-palate length. There is a..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Relatively strong wood influence fights somewhat with the otherwise expressive nose that is comprised of spice, earth, menthol and cassis aromas. There is fine intensity to the attractively, even seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess focused power and punch on the balanced and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Here the toast is sufficiently strong that it fights with the otherwise ripe, complex and dense aromas of menthol, cassis and liqueur of plum. There is a copious amount of earth influence to the rich, supple and big-bodied flavors that are a lovely mix of power and muscle on the mineral-inflected..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "True to the Mugnier style, this is also wonderfully pure with its expressive nose of earthy red pinot fruit that also exhibits notes of underbrush and a mineral component that is picked up by the vibrant and well-delineated middle weight flavors. The mid-palate is relatively refined and the Nuits..

A plumber supplier would have 3/8" OD supplies in polished brass.
You can also get new brass plated stops and escutcheons.
I've also seen gold colored braided supplies.
Hi all...a newbie User to the forums (although when I was remodeling my master bath I LURKED here a lot, and learned SO much from all of you...thank you in arrears)
At any rate, I have searched here (and the web) and have been unable to find what I need (could be my poor search terms, but I don't know what else to type into the funny-named search engines)
I have replaced my powder room facuet. It is on a pedestal sink, and the faucet connectors are visible. The existing shiny brass ones are looking shiny no more and I want to replace them, but I cannot seem to find anything except braided SILVER-colored faucet connectors (1/2' to 1/2"). The existing ones are straight pipe with some "accordion-like" ribs in them for the ability to bend slightly, I guess. I would reuse them, and try to polish them, but the new facuet's connectors end up like an 1/8" too short and the pressure connection leaks
Does anyone know where I might be able to get brass-colored ones to match the faucet, plate covers, flush handle, etc? It obviously doesn't need to be an exact color match, of course, but the silver looks so out of place.
Probably a stupid question on my part, but I thought I might throw myself on the mercy of the fellow DIYers and Pros here.
Your help is greatly appreciated, and Happy Holdays to all!

MOST plumbing stores will have them, or can get them on very short order such as a one day.

BrandSource's Summit show at the Marriott World Center in Orlando, Fla., illustrated the va
Mozilla's fledgling Firefox OS is "still at the crawl stage", despite strong support from a raft of operators and handset vendors, Gary Kovacs, CEO of the company, told Mobile World Live in an exclusive video interview.
Speaking at Mobile World Congress last month, the executive said that with "big sets of commitments" from operators, shipment volumes "in the many tens of millions" are on the cards. "What that translates to in market share I don't know, but we have to crawl, walk, run, and we're still at the crawl stage. This is still very early, but definitely exciting," he said.
