WASHINGTON, Pa. (Nov. 15, 2012)—In the wake of the recent death of senior Tim McNerney, Washington & Jefferson College is joining forces with the City of Washington and the local community to host a march against violence Saturday, Nov. 17, beginning at 11 a.m. in front of Old Main.
The "CommUnity Voices Against Violence" march will commence into the city and then loop back around to Old Main.
"This is a very important time for the College, for the City, for the community, for all of us to come together and make a statement," said W&J President Tori Haring-Smith, Ph.D.
Everyone is encouraged to wear yellow to support the "CommUnity Voices Against Violence" movement. The march is the first step of many to unite the community of the Greater Washington area, to start a movement against violence, and to educate the youth of our area that a life of crime is not the answer.
Haring-Smith, City of Washington Mayor Brenda Davis, W&J Student Government Association President Damian Bosiacki and a number of local residents are expected to be among the speakers. Refreshments provided by local businesses will be available.
The following scholarships are accepting applications....
Founded in 1781, Washington & Jefferson College is a coed, four-year, private liberal arts college....

The drama Dom Hemingway explores involves a vicious lout finding a form of redemption, and while that's an all-too conventional scenario, Shepard's movie plays it out in a brisk, inventive fashion and delivers a moviegoing experience that's almost equal parts stingingly sharp and genuinely sweet.

Poorly suited to run Pentagon
From the outset, President Obama's nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., as secretary of Defense was unnerving. Mr. Hagel's 12-year Senate record is littered with questionable stances on foreign- and defense-policy issues. The former senator's performance at his recent confirmation hearing is further evidence that he is not suited to run the Pentagon.
When Mr. Hagel went before the Senate Armed Services Committee Jan. 31, he proved ill-informed, indecisive and obstinate. At one point, Mr. Hagel said he supports the president's policy of "containment" with regard to Iran.

Surprisingly authentic tacos, guacamole and margaritas. Great brunch complete with Mexican bloody mary's. A photobooth outside of the co-ed bathroom seems like a great idea after many, many said authentic margaritas.
No matter when you walk buy, El Vez always seems packed. No wonder: It's a great spot for well crafted Mexican favorites, too much to drink, and some of the best guacamole in town.
Over the top in true Stephen Starr fashion.
Excellent food! – We loved the tacos, the tuna appetizer and the nachos (which were a huge portion, even for gluttons!).
Good Mexican Food – This place is almost identical to Distrito. The food is about the same as it is at Distrito. The place looks a little worn though.
I don't know what some of you were talking about - this place was great! – From the minute we walked in - we were greated with smiles. We sat in the middle of the room. It was a little dark, but enough light to read the menu and see the decor. The service was really good - Jack our waiter had the menu down to a science and was very happy to answer any and all questions. He paid just enough attention to us. Now the food - OMG - I was nervous about this place from reading some of the reviews. I ordered the taco sampler and was more than happy - beef, pork, sea bass, mahi mahi, etc. If a flower had a taste - this was it. Each one was better than the next. Kudos to the Chef and staff. Dessert -well - make sure you save room. Drinks were on the same level. This place is a class act. The price is on the higher end - but as they say you get what you pay for - this was worth it. I highly recommend it!! Enjoy.
hope you like salt – the menu is creative & perhaps mexican inspired- but it's a far cry from authentic mexican food. my husband is from new mexico & we've taken numerous trips to the southwest and mexico where i've had better food from roadside carts. i went with 2 friends & we ordered 6 items to share- each greasier and saltier than the next. stop in for the atmosphere, which is fun, grab a kitschy cocktail and then go to dinner someplace else. the only thing keeping me from giving this place one star was our server- who was gracious and prompt. with so many great restaurants in philly, i'm surprised this place is still open.
Good fun atmosphere but way too loud – El Vez is a good spot to go with a big group of people, but your experience can depend on where you are seated. Try to get a spot in one of the round booths, those are the most intimate and easy to hear everyone at the table. Last time we were there we sat at a table behind the bar (8 of us) and we literally could barely hear eachother speak. I had to text with my friend across the table because I couldn't hear a word she said. The music is way too loud, which makes the chatter almost unbearable.
Insect in the Sangria... the type of insect that inhabits dirty homes and restaurants – Upon arriving & being seated, drinks were ordered. Once we received our drinks, one of the guests began drinking her sangria when she noticed a "insect" which city search will not allow me to name, about 3/4 of an inch long, floating in her drink. When brought to the attention of our waitress, she gave a brief unconcerned apology ("i'm sorry"), took the drink to the kitchen & proceeded to show it to her coworkers. It wasn't until about 10 minutes later that she returned to our table, upon our request to see if we were ok. Furthermore, not one staff member or manager came to rectify the situation until two of our party members went to speak to the hostess. Finally, a manager came over (10 minutes later) offering appetizers as good measure. We left as the birthday girl was disgusted and unable to eat anything.
Good food & drinks; Really bad service & treatment – I was looking forward to trying El Vez after hearing about their good guacamole & margaritas.
We arrived at 9:30 on a Thursday & the place was prob 1/2 to 3/4 full - with lots of people at the bar and less eating. We asked the hostess if we can get a table - as our plan was to get guac, appetizers and a pitcher of margarita. The hostess told us we'd need to order entrees in order sit at a table. I found this odd -having lived in nyc & other major cities I've never seen a respectable restaurant forcing you to order a certain # of entrees to sit down. A policy of ordering food at a table is totally understandable ? but forcing you to eat a certain quantity of food, to me, signifies a low-end establishment milking revenue.
We said ok, with no real plans to order entrees, and sat down. We figured a $65 meal with a margarita pitcher, guac, and appetizers would suffice.
We then received probably the worst treatment I've ever experienced. Our waitress was rude, sarcastic, pushy and made us extremely uncomfortable. When we ordered the pitcher & guac she asked us if there was anything else we wanted to order. We said we?ll order more, but not right now as we wanted to relax and order more as we went along.
About 3 minutes later she came back asking for our order. We said not yet. 2 minutes later our pitcher came. As did more ordering questions. 2 minutes later guac came - she then pretty much wasn't leaving until we ordered more food. So we ordered an appetizer & side dish ? at the same cost as an entree. She then looked straight at me and asked me ?what I wanted for my entree?. I said, "I don't want an entree". From there it got even worse - with her talking to other waitresses and pointing and gesturing at us, making sarcastic comments about us ?drinking up? and overall being plain rude. We tried to relay our frustrations to a manager but we left after 10 min of waiting at the front desk.
Bottom line: good food & good drinks ? but bad treatment ruined it.

Amazing Mexican, with a modern twist – My friend and I really enjoyed dining here. It was a great vibe, really huge bar scene. We went around 10:00 and were seated promptly. The nachos mama's were amazing!!! A must try. They had a variety of food to choose from. I also got the enchilada's mixtas. It was delicious and HUGE. I recommend sharing this entree with two people. My friend got two different taco platters, he loved it! Overall great experience. They even had a black & white photo book that you can take pictures in. Really cute touch! Definitely give this place a try if you're in city center.

The story notes that the two companies - Niyato Industries and V5 Technologies - plan to open operations here by the end of the year, creating over 300 jobs that will pay average wages in the $25-30 range. Again, good news, right?

Caribbean Plantains
Mon Nov 26, 2012 7:10 amForum Host
Plantains and green figs are a mainstay of the West Indian diet. They are cousins to the banana but they do not ripen in the same way, do not taste the same, and certainly cannot be eaten in its raw state.
Plantains are very versatile fruits as they can be cooked through all stages of ripeness. These bananas are a good source of potassium, folate, vitamins C and B6, and a very good source of vitamin A.
Here's a little plantain trivia: Plantains themselves are not indigenous to the West Indies but were brought to the islands by missionaries and cultivated. Slave rations of food at that time were not great but did include some plantain.
Each slave received one or two bunches as a week's worth of provisions. They used plantains to make many things, even wine. They ate plantains mostly boiled and fried. The leaves were used to make paper and also as a receptacle for steaming foods. A tradition that still continues today.
Belizean baked plantains. The sweet syrup that leaks from the splitting skin of a hot sweet potato—is fantastic but along the belt of the Equator, an abundant local alternative produces a similarly delicious result: a baked plantain.
This banana-like fruit, though often eaten as a savory starch source, can be left to ripen until black in the skin and soft in the flesh, which will by now be sweet and sticky. Cooking plantains as a sweet potato alternative is a cinch: Put them in a metal baking dish and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 or 20 minutes. When that syrup starts bubbling, the plantains are done. To serve, peel open the fruit, and the steaming flesh will fall onto the plate. Now, season as you would a yam—or melt coconut oil onto the fruit for a stronger exotic accent. Plantains grow throughout the tropics.
Here are some recipes featuring plantains that I found on Food.com
Oven Baked Sweet Plantains
Platanos Fritos (Sauteed Plantains)
Plantain Chicken Rolls
Roast Chicken With Plantains and Onions
Sweet Potato Bake With Shredded Plantain and Coconut Topping
Fried Plantains
Grilled Jalapenos
I know I haven't posted much lately, but I have the feeling there are only Dib and I who ever come our way. If you happen by, hope you pick up some plantains at you supermarket and give one of these recipes a try. Let me know of you ever cook plantains.
Happy Cooking!

Graduate Assistantships
Many graduate programs provide a limited number of graduate assistantships to qualified students. These positions include Teaching Assistants (GTA) and Research Assistants (GRA). Students must contact the department to learn about available assistantships.
Graduate Assistantship Policy (Approved, April, 2008)
Tuition Remission: Under Texas law a TEACHING or RESEARCH ASSISTANT is only required to pay in-state tuition and fees if 1) the student is enrolled for a minimum of 9 hrs. per semester and 2) is employed at least one-half time (19.5 hrs./week) in a teaching or research assistant position that relates directly to the student's degree program.
Eligible GTAs and GRAs do not have to apply for this tuition remission; instead each will have the appropriate amount credited to his/her fee statement, based on registration and information provided by the employing department
Student Insurance: The University of Texas System has contracted with UnitedHealthCare to provide StudentResources, an insurance package specifically designed for students. StudentResources is an affordable full-coverage health insurance program for students and their dependents. The only requirement is that the insurance holder be a student at The University of Texas at Tyler.
Premiums can be purchased for a full 12 months, individual semesters and summer session, or various combinations of coverage periods. The approximate cost is $1,200 for 12-month coverage. For more information, visit the Student Resources website.

The U.K. economy unexpectedly contracted for the second straight time in the first quarter, the Office for National Statistics showed Wednesday.
Gross domestic product dropped 0.2 percent sequentially, while economists were forecasting a 0.1 percent expansion. That follows a 0.3 percent drop in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Output of the production industries fell 0.4 percent, after logging a decrease of 1.3 percent in the previous quarter.
Likewise, construction sector output dipped at a faster pace of 3 percent, following a drop of 0.2 percent. Meanwhile, services output grew 0.1 percent, offsetting a decrease of 0.1 percent in the prior quarter.
On a yearly basis, GDP remained flat in the first quarter. Economists had expected an annual 0.3 percent growth.

My Fighting Life
Chuck Liddell - Author
Chad Millman - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
"The New York Times bestseller from the baddest man on the planet—with photos and a brand new chapter.
Chuck Liddell is the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and superstar of Mixed Martial Arts -- the fastest growing sport in America. In 1998, he won his first Mixed Martial Arts fight, soon after joining the UFC to become the #1 ranked light-heavyweight contender in the world. He is a walking lethal weapon.
Here, for the first time, is the story of Chuck Liddell inside and outside the Octagon—from his childhood in the poor section of Santa Barbara to the bloodiest battles of his career, to balancing life as a father, a UFC champ, and a superstar. With never-before-seen photos—and an all-new chapter added for this edition—Iceman is the true, no-holds-barred story of Chuck Liddell's fight to become a champion.
What does it feel like to pummel someone?
It feels good. But I'm not doing it just for the thrill of beating the crap out of someone. The same way some guys were great at basketball or football growing up, I was great at fighting. Connecting on a perfect punch is like getting solid wood in baseball. You don't feel the sting in your hands at all; it's just a little pressure as your fist moves right through a guys face.
How did you find out about MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)?
It started in 1993, around the time I was getting out of college and figuring out what I was going to do with my life. I was teaching karate and kickboxing. But MMA and the UFC were getting popular, so a lot of my friends and I talked about it.
How did you get interested in UFC?
I had been kickboxing for a few years after the UFC started. Naturally, me and all my friends kept up with the sport and were interested in it. I was a natural for it, since I had the martial arts experience and had wrestled in college. But I never considered doing it until my friends kept pushing me. Finally, a guy who promoted my kickboxing fights introduced me to some UFC promoters and they put me in a tournament.
If you weren't in UFC, what would you do?
I'd be teaching karate, probably own my own dojo like I do now, and kickboxing. One way or the other I'd be fighting.
What is a common misconception about UFC fighters and yourself in particular?That we're untrained thugs—and that I'm a mean guy because I've got a Mohawk and tattoo on my skull. I'm about as laid back a guy as you're going to meet when I'm not in the cage. And I'm like a lot of other UFC fighters in that I went to college and earned a degree. Mine is in accounting. A lot of the fighters could have been anything they wanted to outside the cage, but we're guys who loved wrestling or kickboxing or did judo, and this provides us with an opportunity to make a living doing what we love.
What was your favorite career fight and why?
The first Tito Ortiz fight. He's a punk who had been ducking me because he knew I'd kick his ass. When I did, it felt as good as I expected it to. And it felt just as good when I kicked his ass again a second time.
How has being a UFC champ most changed your life?
Well, I'm recognized in most places I go. And I have a lot more money from doing what I loved than I ever planned on having.
How often (and how much) do you train?
Heading into a fight I'm training everyday, usually twice a day, for three months. I'm in the gym or at The Pit, working to get myself into shape.
What do you do to prepare yourself for a fight?
As far as training, I focus on making everything simulate the five-minute rounds in a UFC fight. I'll spar for five minutes or do other drills, like the rowing drill, for five minutes, then get a one minute rest. (In the rowing drill I row as hard as I can on a machine for two minutes then jump off and wrestle a training partner for three minutes. It's brutal.) I also make my training and sleeping habits conform to a fight schedule. I'll go to sleep later, since the fights are usually around nine or 10 at night, and I'll schedule my training sessions for later at night, so my body is used to fighting at that time of day. I don't want to get too pumped up early in the day and be spent by the time the fight happens.
When did you start painting your toenails and why?
Shortly after the Ultimate Fighter started airing on Spike TV, I was walking around a mall in Florida. A bunch of guys at The Pit, where I train in San Luis Obispo, had been painting their toes so, when I walked by a nail salon, I thought I'd try it. The manicurist was going to do all black, then I told her to make the big toe pink, just to f*ck with people and see what kind of reaction I got. It's the same reason I like to dance when I'm ringside at one of my guy's fights. At first people were staring—but I was used to that given my haircut—and then I just sort of forgot about it. Then I went to a Chargers game a week later in flip flops and one guy looked at my toes, looked up at me and said, "Hey, if anyone can pull it off, you can."

HARRISONBURG, Va., Feb. 12, 2013 – James Madison University field hockey head coach Antoinette Lucas announced the signing of Colleen Andrews (Lancaster, Pa./Lancaster Mennonite) to a national letter of intent Tuesday.
"We signed Colleen Andrews because of her talent and work ethic," Lucas said. "We felt that Colleen would go through a brick wall for her teammates and would do everything possible to positively contribute to our team's success. We expect Colleen will compete in the backfield for us. She is a smart player and capable of making quality decisions. I believe that Colleen will adapt quickly to the pace of Division I hockey. She has competed against the best junior players in the nation within the U.S. Field Hockey developmental programs, which should help her transition to Division I play."
Andrews joins Madison out of Lancaster Mennonite School in Lancaster, Pa. As a senior, she was team captain and earned First Team All-State. She was named Lancaster-Lebanon League Defensive MVP as well as First Team All-League. Nationally, Colleen is a two-time Futures Elite selection and was named a Future Elite Championship athlete. She participated in the AAU Junior Olympics and was a four-year player on Sutter's Brigade and Simply Select club teams.
Andrews joins a team that went 11-8 overall and 4-3 in Colonial Athletic Association play. The Dukes return 10 starters and only graduate three players from the 2012 team that reached the CAA semifinals.

I am an AmeriCorps VISTA member serving in Montana with the Global Health Equity Foundation on their social media based project titled "Let's Talk." This project allows me to work toward enabling Healthy Futures in a different way. In fact, I'm the only member working on a mental health project in the state.
Let's Talk promotes conversations and awareness around the issue of suicide in Montana. This unfortunate problem is being addressed by a group of courageous teenagers who are standing up to tell their stories in an attempt to provide support so that other teens know it's okay to talk and that no one is alone.
Before I became an AmeriCorps VISTA member, I worked with AmeriCorps NCCC FEMA Corps where I saw first-hand how natural disasters and poverty affect mental health. My team and I were stationed in Queens, New York, to help with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Many of those people were devastated by the loss of their belongings, their livelihoods, their homes, and even friends and family...

The chronically homeless population often utilize hospitals' emergency rooms to meet their basic health care needs, not only causing public costs to skyrocket but also doing little to address the other mental and behavioral needs of this very vulnerable population. The Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH)'s Social Innovation Fund (SIF) initiative responds directly to one of the most pressing policy problems currently facing states and the nation as a whole: rising public spending on health care with poor health outcomes.

It's common knowledge that poverty has been a particularly formidable foe, and its resistance to solutions creates harmful residual effects – especially for children trying to escape its clutches.

After her seventh-grade teacher explained the connection between service and the Peace Corps, a 12-year-old Laura Glaub promised to factor service into her own life.

Heating with a Moving Laser
Model ID: 699
Lasers are commonly used to achieve precision heating or welding. The beam often moves over the surface of the substrate.
One difficulty with modeling a laser heat source is the fact that the beam is very narrow (nm-mm). Another is that the laser has a certain penetration depth which may be important.
The purpose of this model is to demonstrate how to model a moving depth-distributed line heat source in COMSOL Multiphysics using a 3D-1D coupling.
The results show that the penetration depth plays an important role in the heating process.
This model was built using the following:COMSOL Multiphysics

Comments about Easton 2013 Power Brigade FS3 -11.5 Fastpitch Bat:
When my daughter used this bat it had such bad vibration that it caused a huge bruise between her thumb and forefinger and the bat seemed "dead". I had to contact Easton and return the bat. It ended up getting replaced with the FS2. This was a much better bat!

I tried to QuickPwn 2 3G iPhones. Both hung at "Uploading Ramdisk" and soon gave an error saying something about the iPhone being in the wrong mode. Then phone was sent to Restore mode. Had an everlasting Unknown error 13 for both phones. Tried to create new account, reinstall, DFU/Restore modes etc but all failed. Restored them successfully with my laptop.
So had 2 unlocked phones but still not jailbroken. Had an sudden idea that maybe WinPwn was messing around so uninstalled it and tried again. Worked like a charm then. The reason I didnt use WinPwn at the beginning was because I prefer QuickPwn GUI to WinPwn GUI haha. Just a head's up before people try running QuickPwn on a computer that has WinPwn installed.:)

Coming up: another "non-event" for brakes? That's what Phase Two of new federal stopping-distance requirements will be for truck operators, according to people we talked with. Stronger, higher-performance brakes on certain vehicles won't even cost much more in most cases. But like Phase One two years ago, which was hardly noticed by truckers, Phase Two represents a lot of work for brake makers and truck builders.

Standing water
I feel much more myself, with all of my assets and handicaps intact. I'm back to forgetting friends' birthdays (never really stopped that, but I had an excuse), avoiding exercise, actually caring enough about work to let it stress me out. Regular life stuff.
But it feels as if I am walking in three inches of standing water. It's not harder than it is for everyone. I'm not debilitated. In some ways, especially parenting, I think I'm doing a better job than I've ever done. But every time I move, every step I take, every thought I have is followed by sadness that he's gone.
I wished and wished for some relief when the grief was so intense. Sometimes I did not feel like I had the strength to carry it much further.
But I don't honestly know if this stage will ever pass. If it doesn't, that's ok. This is something I could do the rest of my life, hearing the splash, watching the ripples every time I move. Maybe I don't want it to go away?

You describe grief so well. My mother would have been 75 this coming week. She wanted a big party for that milestone. Now it'll just be me and my sister having dinner. {{{hugs}}}

I guess it is still a case of taking it day by day. The pain will grow duller as time passes, but never cease altogether.

You describe things so well.
It reminds me of how I used to describe depression: like I was walking (or swimming) through molasses every day. Everything was so much more of an effort.
What I remember about grief is that sometimes it felt like rehab after a stroke or an amputation: I had to relearn how to do everything without that part of me. The first holiday without... a birthday... the anniversary. I had to rewire that part of my brain that still felt him here.
And when I started to feel more like myself and the grief didn't clobber me and didn't feel overwhelming, that was a sign I was doing my grief work well.
But often I wasn't sure I was ready to start feeling like myself again. I wanted to hold onto my sadness and loss because in those things resided my connection to him.

Thank you for sharing your story with the world. I've looked back through the blog but didn't see what symptoms Henry had that prompted you to have him examined. As a nurse and a mom of two young boys, I'm curious - what can we watch for that could help us to get the earliest intervention possible?

I haven't experienced such a loss as you have (thankfully) but from what I've heard from someone who has, the passing years do make the sensation less intense. That, and the gradual but inevitable fading of memories, might bring guilt along with the welcome relief.
I cannot imagine it's a quick process though, more of a matter of several years. Your loss is still so fresh. I imagine that what you are feeling now is quite different than what you will feel two years from now, although Henry, and his absence, will always be a part of you.
I am always impressed by your thoughtful, candid posts; I think you are doing as well as anyone humanly could following such a loss, the depth of which is unimaginable for most of us.

New to the blog--just came here via a comment on another mommy/doc blog and have been reading through the posts--I have tears from your and Henry's story--what a beautiful child...and you capture things so perfectly.
- November 7, 2009 at 3:46 PM
I'm a long-time reader of your blog, and a little ashamed that I never had the courage to comment before, but, better late than never, maybe. I wanted to let you know how touched I have been by your journey, how I hope every day that you and your family find peace and healing.
Recently, I have become the co-ordinator for a knitting group that produces wig-like hats for children who have lost their hair due to chemo, brain surgery, alopecia, or other such traumatic events. Our caps are donated to our local children's hospital and distributed to children we will never see, but whose lives we are hoping, in some small way, to brighten.
I wanted you to know that reading your blog and Henry's struggle is a large part of what helped convince me to become involved in this project. Just as I hope that the items we are distributing will bring at least a moment of comfort and happiness to their wearers, I hope you will consider each moment of happiness, each smile we create, part of Henry's legacy, as well as your own. Thank you wholeheartedly for inspiring me to find some way to reach out to the world around me.

Henry was the recipient of many gifts from unknown benefactors in the hospital, from toys to quilts to hats. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

The Daily Astorian
http://www.dailyastorian.com/free/kitef … 963f4.html
By HUGH McKENNA
For The Daily Astorian
LONG BEACH, Wash. — With a sharp jerk of the strings, Ian Willoughby lifts his kite airborne and expertly guides it through spins, flips and long, sweeping circles before letting it fall downward to skim inches above the wooden floor before snapping it back up overhead. The kite flits past basketball hoops that rim the walls of the Long Beach School gym and hovers near the ventilation pipes that serpentine across the ceiling.
The 12-year-old from Medford, N.J., was the youngest of 22 competitors to participate in the Windless Kite Festival here Saturday and Sunday. Individuals, duos and teams put on choreographed air routines to music, earning points to qualify for the American Kitefliers Association (AKA) 35th Annual Convention and Competition in Enid, Okla., in October. The event featured many of the sport's elite, including national winner Connor Doran of Bend, who put the little-known sport in the national spotlight as a semifinalist on "America's Got Talent."
The fliers use kites made from ultralight fabrics and hollow carbon fiber rods designed to fly in a windless environment. Indoor kite pilots generate relative wind using various walking patterns; shoulder, arm and wrist movements; and pulls and jerks along the kite lines. Almost like dancing partners, each nuance of the flier's body is mirrored in the kite's movements. Judges scored on technical skills and choreography to the music.
Willoughby performed to a recording of One Republic's "Secrets," synchronizing his and the kite's movements to the soaring lyrics. His performance was quite a workout, involving running forward and backward, even dropping to his knees. He drew applause by placing one of the two handles in his mouth to guide the kite, and again when he walked the kite across the floor on the tips of its frame.
One of the featured guests, Willoughby said he's been flying indoor kites "pretty much since I could walk." He picked up the passion from his mom, Lisa, a national champion who competed this weekend in the master's class. As he stepped onto the floor to begin his routine, his mom called from the sidelines, "Have fun, Ian." He explained afterward that the high level of talented fliers made him nervous. After the competition ended Saturday evening, Ian asked national champion Toby Arndt to teach him some of his moves.
The oldest competitor, Dick Curran, of Edgefield, Wash., is in his upper 70s. A master showman, he stood out in his white tuxedo made by his wife, as he used a fishing rod to guide his handmade reflective-foil kite through its graceful movements to the song "Beautiful Dreamer." He finished with a flourish, doffing his top hat and taking a bow.
Father and son Jim and Nick Gates of Tacoma, Wash., were first-time competitors, performing individually one after the other.
Petite and lithe, Takako "TK" Barresi of Portland, incorporated ballet moves in a graceful performance with her Revolution kite. Originally from Japan, she has been competing in dual and quad-line flying since 2004 and with her husband and fellow competitor, John Barresi, produces Kitelife magazine.
Jerry Cannon of Auburn, Wash., lived up to his nickname "Mr. Smooth" as he glided a single kite, then a double-layer kite fluidly through twists, turns and pirouettes, and won Saturday's competition.
A towering figure, David Bradley of Portland was surprisingly light-footed and wowed the audience by purposely letting go of his kite's single string and then catching it midair.
While most chose classical, jazz or similarly lyrical music, Spence Watson rocked out to "A Whiter Shade of Pale," whipping his kite through sharp, angular, almost violent gyrations and using the entire gym floor for his routine.
With his black leather jacket and beard, Egan Davis of Vancouver, British Columbia., looked like he should have been handling a Harley instead of a kite. Known for his unique style and sense of program, he's performed in a hockey mask and even in a dress.
"Remember, you are watching professionals. Do try this at home," announcer Andrew Cimburek told the audience. "The point of this is to just have fun. It's hanging out with friends, flying kites and having fun, although flying outdoors sometimes incorporates rain, especially in Washington," he added, as rain and even snow pelted outside.

The Apache TrailFriday, January 23rd, 2009
"The Apache Trail combines the grandeur of the Alps, the glory of the Rockies, the magnificence of the Grand Canyon and then adds an indefinable something that none of the others have. To me, it is the most awe-inspiring and most sublimely beautiful panorama nature has ever created." – President Theodore Roosevelt
At Lost Dutchman State Park, not only are you at the doorstep of the Superstition Mountains, but you are also at the beginning of the only drive in Arizona designated as both a Historic Road and a National Scenic Byway. This route along the Salt River was used by Native Americans for centuries before it was widened to bring supplies during the construction of the Roosevelt Dam. It winds its way in Sonoran Desert splendor along the side of green lichen-covered sheer cliffs, among towering saguaros, and overlooks deep blue canyon reservoirs.
Along the Apache Trail stop at Canyon Lake and rent a boat at the marina, take a guided lake tour on the Dolly Steamboat, or have a meal overlooking the water at the Lakeside Restaurant and Cantina. If you've brought your gear, it's an easy 3-mile paddle to The Point, three spacious campsites accessible only by boat.
Continue your journey to Tortilla Flat, population 6, where the gift shop serves deliciously pink prickly pear ice cream. Heartier appetites can be satisfied by a burger at the Tortilla Flat Restaurant, where the wallpaper is made up of dollar bills. A side trip takes you to Horse Mesa Dam overlooking Apache Lake. Farther up the Trail, spend the night at Burnt Corral recreation site with your tent at the water's edge.
The lobby of the Apache Lake Marina and Resort boasts a photo tour of the construction of the historic Roosevelt Dam, and at the top of the Trail you can see the sight for yourself. There are plenty of camping opportunities at Roosevelt Lake; our pick is Cholla Campground, which offers tent-only sites overlooking the largest lake on the Salt River. Nearby, the Tonto National Monument offers you the opportunity to tour 700-year old cliff dwellings left by the Salado people.
More details about these campgrounds and other attractions along the Apache Trail can be found in The Best in Tent Camping: Arizona.

Review of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
The 2008 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is perhaps the most advanced car on the planet, with precision engineering, groundbreaking technologies and an interior fit for foreign dignitaries. For those desiring a large ultraluxury sedan that has everything and can do everything, the S-Class is the benchmark.
- Safety
State-of-the-art luxury features, the handling and performance of a smaller sport sedan, eye-watering acceleration of AMG models, available all-wheel drive, that famed S-Class prestige.
Expensive options, COMAND can command too much driver attention, turn signal stalks are awkward to use.
What's New for 2008
Standard satellite radio is the only new feature added to the 2008 Mercedes-Benz S-Class.Read full review

decent bed for the price
By mural girl
from NJ
Comments about South Shore Sand Castle Mates Bed - Pure White:
this bed is cheap, but looks good. I have three of these, and no problems. We don't open and close the drawers a lot, but two of them we have had for three or four years and no chips at all. so, I'm not sure why the other person who purchased these has had so much trouble. But, for us, they have worked fine.

Do Not Buy!!! Pure JUNK!!!!!!!
By DecoMom
from Indiana
Best Uses
I bought 2 of these beds for my daughters. Within a week the drawers broke. Then the outer edge of the beds cracked, next the support under the mattresses.I got replacement parts for free, but by the time they arrived even more of the bed was broken. This bed went in the trash less than a month after buying. Pure waste of money. DO NOT BUY!!!!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Last time I took a swing at the huge and treacherous territory of communications.
Today I'll take another swing, at miscommunications, starting with an actual story of a recent phone conversation:
A look at some of the top stories and Q&A on StickyMinds this month.
Recently, I got the opportunity to attend the Wearables DevCon conference in Burlingame presented by the folks at BZ Media.
Two consultants walked into a company that made bar stools ...
Believe it or not, no, that's not the opening to a joke. It is, instead, the beginning of a story.
A look back at the top trending posts on StickyMinds this month.
I'd like focus this blog in 2014 on "hard" tester skills - to get past vague generalizations and slogans. (If the ideal is the T-shaped tester, with broad general skills that are shallow and a deep speciality in test - well, how exactly do you get that deep line in testing? What testers do, and how can they do it well?)
Life is too short for manual testing.
In my previous blog post, I pointed out that skills in testing matter. These skills are a bit like muscle memory; they can be learned by practice and attention to detail.
Now we come into the rub -- that you can't practice test skills the way you can, say, hitting a ball or dunking a basket. Once you've tested the system once and know where the bugs are, a re-test exercise is trivial.
Or is it?
A look back at the top testing articles on StickyMinds this year.
It is not every day that I find myself playing billiards with some of the best thinkers in software testing.

Notice of Petition - "Compensation, Retirement Programs and Related Benefits"
Rebecca Lenz
53428 US HWy 385
Holyoke, CO 80734-8719
April 22, 2013
Barry F Mardock
Deputy Director, Office of Regulatory Policy, Farm Credit Administration
1501 Farm Credit Drive
McLean, VA 22102-5090
Dear Barry Mardock:
Thank you for requesting comment on the regulatory petition filed by The
Farm Credit Council regarding the Agency's say on pay mandatory
shareholder vote on compensation matters.
As a director of a Farm Credit System institution, I support the request
contained in the Council's petition that the agency withdraw the say on
pay vote requirement. Asking shareholders to vote on matters that are the
purview of the board of directors is inconsistent with the Farm Credit
Act, with cooperative principles, undermines the role and responsibility
of directors to represent the interests of shareholders and increases
litigation exposure for directors and institutions. Shareholder
engagement on compensation matters already exists through the disclosure
requirements that are in place and the ability of shareholders to express
their views on these matters to management and boards at any time.
As directors we are elected in a representative fashion being selected
from specific regions within our associations. I feel I truely represent
the veiwpoint of my fellow stockholders in a fair and thoughtful manner.
Part of my duties as a board member is to provide oversight and insight
into the compensation packages. If Idon't not only am I hurting my fellow
stockholders I am hurting myself if I don't fullfill this duty. Farm
Credit cooperatives differ from from publically held companies in that I
have a personal relationship with many of my fellow stockholders and am
very aware of their veiwpoints. The "Say on Pay" is not only unecessary
for FCA cooperative but will be burdensome and ineffective. Thank you for
reconsidering this ruling.
