Boston gets acquainted with Club INdustry East, and attendees get a preview of Club Industry 2000 in Chicago next month.
BOSTON - The fitness professionals who attended Club Industry East got a taste of what Club Industry 2000 promises to bring in October. Held for the first time in Boston, Club Industry East gave 3,579 attendees the opportunity to explore offerings from more than 140 exhibitors and take part in over 110 seminars, including a conference program dedicated to Club Industry magazine's ongoing "War on Obesity."
In addition to seminars and exhibits, Club Industry East featured a keynote address from health and fitness legend Jack LaLanne, who also took charge of early morning aerobic sessions. Club Industry East was also designated the official spring conference and trade show by NEHRSA (the New England Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association). Finally, it was the site of the World Gym Eastern University Seminar, "How to Prosper in a Highly Competitive Marketplace," an educational gathering for owners and top-level managers of World Gym locations.
Although a smaller, re-gional show, Club Industry East set the tone for what's to come when Club Industry 2000 arrives at McCor-mick Place North in Chicago next month. Scheduled for Oct. 25-28, this national show will feature 250 industry vendors and 100,000 square feet of exhibits.

Educational Innovations' website teachersource.com sells tons of unique science related items. One of those items is the handboiler. When you wrap your hand around the base the colored liquid (probably alcohol) heats up and moves up to the top where it eventually bubbles. My guess is that the molecules of the liquid speed up causing them to move up. When you let go the liquid eventually cools and goes back down via gravity. You can make the liquid go down faster by grabbing the top with your hand. I do this demo with student volunteers. We make observations and they hypothesize what is causing it. We also record who is able to send the liquid up the fastest.
Precautions: Don't squeeze the handboiler. It can break easily.

Jungle Confetti Leather Dog Collar
Your pup will be the life of the party with this multi-colour hand painted leather collar. Made of lightweight yet durable vegetable-tanned leather and finished with gold hardware and our iconic Nice Digs dog charm.
Complete the look with a matching Jungle Confetti leash.
Proudly designed and handcrafted in Australia.
- XS Neck Size 20 - 27cm, Width 2cm (8" - 10 1/2", Width 3/4")
- S Neck Size 27 - 35cm, Width 2cm (10 1/2" - 13 3/4", Width 3/4")
- M Neck Size 35 - 44cm, Width 2cm (13 3/4" - 17 1/4", Width 3/4")
- L Neck Size 44 - 53cm, Width 2cm (17 1/4" - 20 3/4", Width 3/4")
- XL Neck Size 53 - 63cm, Width 2cm (20 3/4" - 24 3/4", Width 3/4")
Measure your dogs neck where the collar will naturally sit (A). Measure with a tape measure allowing two fingers to snugly fit between the tape and your dog's neck. No measuring tape? No worries! Just use a piece of string, then measure the length with a ruler.
If you need further help choosing your dog's perfect size please get in touch
Leather will patina with time and exposure to the elements. Normal wear will darken the leather as air, light, the oils of your dog's skin, and other environmental factors do their work, eventually developing into a rich tan colour. Prolong the life of the leather and hardware by keeping it away from water & chemicals. Nice Digs leather collars and leashes are not for swimming or water immersion.
Clean your leather collars and leashes with a soft, damp cloth. Nourish the leather from time to time, with a wax/silicone-free leather conditioner but patch test first before overall application as it may darken the leather.

(10 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Colchagua Valley, Santiago, Valparaiso, Torres del Paine
Perfect for first-time and return visitors alike, "Essence of Chile" is the quintessential tour of Chile.
Begin in the Colchagua Valley wine region, a picturesque valley covered in greenery and surrounded by steep hills. This area is home to many of Chile's top red wines—malbec, cabernet, carmenere and syrah in particular thrive. Spend two nights amidst the beautiful vineyards of the Casa Lapostolle winery in the exclusive Lapostolle Residence, and enjoy private touring of the region's most interesting cultural attractions and visits to top wineries.
Next, transfer to Santiago, one of our favorite cities in South America with its breathtaking location framed by the Andes mountains. The city offers wonderful museums, colorful colonial architecture, appealing day trips, and delicious food and wine. Tour the city's highlights with your own private guide who will provide an insider's perspective on the city's most recommended attractions, neighborhoods and activities, including La Chascona (Pablo Neruda's house), the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, our favorite neighborhoods filled with beautiful colonial architecture and well-preserved residences formerly occupied by Santiago's aristocracy, bustling markets and exclusive shops, and much more. One day, take an excursion to Valparaiso, one of the most unique cities in South America and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the steep, labyrinthine streets of the most interesting and colorful cerros (hills), visit one of Valparaiso's notable museums, and perhaps take one of the many funicular elevators that the city is famous for.
Conclude in Torres del Paine National Park, one of the most spectacular national parks in South America. Best known for the iconic sharp summits of the Paine mountain range, the park is a wonderland of mountains, green forest, roaring rivers, sapphire lakes and vivid blue glaciers. Choose from a number of daily excursions according to your interests, such as introductory, moderate or advanced trekking, wildlife viewing and bird watching, photography safaris, boating, trail walking, visiting Patagonian ranches, gourmet BBQs and picnics near glaciers, and horseback riding through the forest of the Blue Lake area.
Throughout the tour, sightseeing is flexible and tailored to your interests, and accommodation is in top rooms at Chile's leading luxury properties.

National Register of Historic Places Program
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources.

|6808 West Courthouse Rd/State Route 625
|Multiple Property Submission Name
|Listed 5/28/2013
|Areas of Significance
|Link to full file
|Hyde Park is nominated under Criterion A for its significance at the state level in the areas of agriculture, social history, and ethnic heritage. Hyde Park is also nominated under Criterion C at the local level for its embodiment of evolved mid-nineteenth-century Federal-style architecture, with late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Greek Revival- and Colonial Revival-style additions, and for its mid-twentieth-century vernacular adaptations of institutional farm architecture. Its buildings remain largely unaltered since the mid-twentieth century and its woods, fields, and farm roads evoke a landscape from the mid-nineteenth century. The property' s history encompasses early tobacco culture of central Virginia, the rise of milling in the nineteenth century, and the growth of the dairy, poultry, and cattle industries during the early twentieth century. The property's successful operation provided the opportunity for agriculturally skilled Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany to Immigrate to America and expand the farm's productivity during the 1930s and early 1940s. During and after World War II, Hyde Park continued to provide refuge and agricultural opportunities after the Gross Breesen families left, specifically for families of soldiers from nearby Fort Pickett and Polish refugees Tadeusz and Stanislawa Glowinski, who maintained the house and grounds for thirty years. The period of significance begins in 1762 with establishment of the farmstead by John Fowlkes and ends in 1963, as agricultural operations continued and the property was being managed by Polish immigrants who had arrived immediately after World War II.
Properties are listed in the National Register of Historic Places under four criteria: A, B, C, and D. For information on what these criterion are and how they are applied, please see our Bulletin on How to Apply the National Register Criteria

From slick iOS apps to robust desktop authoring software - we make products that empower consumers, photographers and creative types in any field to do more with their digital content.
Our award-winning line of ProShow slideshow tools have helped millions of people across the world turn their photos and videos into compelling stories and shareable memories.
That's why we work every day to offer only the best products, friendly and helpful technical support and to keep an open communication with our customers
Our very first slideshow product was released over 20 years ago and that experience shows with our innovative line of ProShow products today. From instant videos on the web to total control on the desktop, our award-winning ProShow products have helped millions of people across the world turn their photos and videos into compelling stories and shareable memories.
It all starts back in 1987... [ Read More ]
It all starts back in 1987, when Paul Schmidt founded Photodex with a simple idea: create good software. In 1991 we released one of the very first digital imaging programs for consumers called GDS - Graphic Display System. It allowed users to display a series of digital photos on their screen, each transitioning to the next without user interaction. A pretty simple slideshow against today's standards, but it was pretty spiffy for its time.
As the first digital cameras were becoming available in the mid 1990's, consumers were taking more pictures than ever and didn't have an easy way to browse or easily organize all their photos. We focused our efforts on content management solutions and developed the CompuPic line of products. With CompuPic, users could browse through hundreds of photos quickly, organize them into albums and even play back a simple slideshow of their images. As digital content management evolved, CompuPic delivered in every way, garnering numerous awards and industry recognition, and it held its market leading position for nearly a decade.
In the early 2000's we set out to develop a new tool for consumers that wanted to not only organize and view their digital photos, but share them with friends and family in a new, compelling way. We started to develop an application that allowed anyone, regardless of their experience, to create a beautiful photo slideshow and in November of 2002 we released the very first version of ProShow. It instantly set a new standard for slideshows.
In 2005 we expanded our ProShow line to include Producer, a professional tool for photographers and business users. And in 2010 we introduced ProShow Web, our online slideshow service that takes the power of our ProShow software and allows anyone, anywhere, on any computer, to create beautiful video slideshows online.
Moving forward as digital sharing changes and evolves, we will continue to offer fresh, innovative ways for our customers to create and share their digital memories.

Infographics are all the rage on the Internet, but no one does it better than Dr. Sheldon Cooper of the Big Bang Theory.
It's not surprising that when Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory decides he needs a new friend (Bawwy Kwipke, because of his wole with the Open Science Gwid Computew), he approaches the problem scientifically. Because we all occasionally need a little help doing that, we've reproduced his flowchart on this shirt. Unfortunately, it's difficult to follow the arrows when you're wearing it so you either need to convince an extant friend to wear this shirt with you (which can lead to awkward questions) or rig a series of mirrors. We recommend the mirrors. It involves fewer humans.
The Friendship Algorithm Flowchart T-Shirt is available now from ThinkGeek for $17.99.

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Drug: Lopinavir/ritonavir Drug: Saquinavir
|Phase 1 Phase 2
Since current drugs cannot cure HIV infection, lifelong therapy is required. Development of drug resistance is common, with 30% to 80% of patients with initial viral load decreases following a potent anti-HIV regimen experiencing regimen failure within the first year of therapy. Dose intensification (increasing dosing of treatment medications) has been used successfully in pediatric oncology. Dose intensification in HIV infected patients may overcome resistance and, as similarly observed in cancer, may result in a greater rate of viral inhibition, maximizing the degree and durability of viral suppression. This study will evaluate dose intensification in HIV infected children and adolescents who are failing their current antiretroviral regimen and have significant genotypic and phenotypic resistance.
Participants in this 3-step study will have previously undergone genotypic resistance testing as part of their regular clinical care. Participants will have phenotypic resistance testing done at screening or within 6 months prior to study entry. Participants in this study will have either a genotypic profile with at least 4 of the required protease mutations or phenotypic resistance to LPV that is at least fivefold greater than wild type while on a failing regimen within 6 months of study screening.
In Step 1, Group 1 participants will be randomly assigned to either a drug regimen without a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or a drug regimen with an NNRTI for Group 2 participants. Participants and their doctors will work with study investigators to select the best treatment regimen possible. All participants in the study will receive LPV/r as part of their drug regimens. Participants in Group 1 will take a higher dose of LPV/r than participants in Group 2 because NNRTIs lower LPV/r levels in the blood.
At Week 2, participants will undergo a 12-hour pharmacokinetic (PK) test to evaluate the drug levels in their blood. If LPV/r levels are not high enough to control HIV and the participant can swallow tablets, hard gel capsules, or the contents of hard gel capsules with food or milk, the participant will begin taking SQV as part of his or her drug regimen and enter Step 2. After two weeks of taking SQV, participants will again undergo PK testing at Week 6. Based on these test results, the dose of SQV will then be increased, decreased, or maintained. Participants who do not add SQV to their regimen will continue taking LPV/r for the remainder of the study and stay in Step 1. If the PK test indicates SQV blood concentrations are sufficient, the participant will remain in Step 2. If the PK test indicates SQV blood concentrations are too low, the SQV dose will be increased and the participant will enter Step 3. After 2 weeks of taking elevated doses of SQV, participants will undergo PK testing at Week 10. If the PK test indicates that SQV blood concentrations are too high, the SQV dose will be decreased. At Week 14, participants who receive a reduced SQV dose will again undergo PK testing to verify that SQV blood concentrations are optimal.
Participants will have study visits at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8, then every 4 weeks through the end of the study at Week 48. Study visits will include a physical exam, health history assessment, and blood collection. Blood collection for PK studies will occur at selected visits. Study visits at Weeks 2 and 12 will include an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG).

The Committee on the Future of Print and Electronic Publishing (CFPEP) in conjunction with the AAA publishing staff just completed a year-long effort to canvass the program and its future. These inquiries were motivated by the recognition that the publishing program as it is currently configured is vulnerable to the changing environment for scholarly publishing. The results include 1) an analysis of AAA's publishing program by an outside consultant, Raym Crow and 2) the summary of findings from the May 2012 publishing survey. Both documents and a cover memo are being released to AAA membership, in order to help the Association assess its current publishing model and suggest potential alternatives.
This research represents another effort in an ongoing conversation about the future of the publishing program, which has included two sessions at the AAA 2011 Montreal Annual Meeting (see: http://vimeo.com/album/1821564 and http://vimeo.com/album/1814558 to view presentations for which we received permission to record), and an October 2011 Anthropology News article that appeared in the "Association Business" section of the paper.
To access the cover memo, Crow's report, and the survey findings, current AAA members may login and click on "My Information" (left-hand side). The findings appear under header "AAA Member Documents." You may need to scroll down to view this area.
CFPEP and its parent committee, the Anthropological Communication Committee, and AAA publishing staff welcome suggestions, ideas, and proposals from any member and they may be submitted to Chelsea Horton of the AAA Publications Office (firstname.lastname@example.com) by January 18, 2013.

McLean, Va. —The Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism held its annual preliminary judging meeting today at USA Today headquarters in McLean, Va. This year's preliminary judges include leading journalists representing major print and broadcast media organizations from across the nation, as well as a faculty member from UCLA Anderson School of Management, which has sponsored the Loeb Awards since 1973.
The Loeb Awards are considered the most prestigious honor in business journalism and recognize writers, editors and producers who make significant contributions to the understanding of business, finance and the economy.

Editor's Note: The release below is courtesy of the Albion College Sports Information Office.
Albion, Mich. - Scott Frew, who coached the Albion College tennis teams from 2001-2011 and was a former head coach at Ferris State University, passed away Monday, Oct. 8, 2012, in Kalamazoo.
"Coach Frew was a great member of the Albion College athletic department," Athletic Director Matt Arend said. "He loved Albion College and his student-athletes. There is no question that knowing and working with Coach Frew made us all better people."
Frew, who will recognized at the College's Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony Friday will be formally inducted into the College's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013, guided the women's squad to six Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships and five trips to NCAA postseason competition. The 2006 team provided Scott with one of his top awards as he was selected the Central Region's Coach of the Year by his peers. Under his direction, the women's team members included two MIAA Most Valuable Players, 16 All-MIAA first-team honorees, and two Sue Little Sportsmanship Award winners.
"When I think of Albion College, one of the first people that pops into my mind is Coach Frew," recalled Katie Tornga Grostic, '06, a four-year all-MIAA first team performer under Frew's guidance. "To me, he was a mentor, friend, coach, and dad away from home. He motivated me to always try my hardest when I was out on the tennis court, and when I was representing Albion. I truly believe that he brought the Albion College tennis program to a whole new level because of his dedication and love for the sport."
Frew coached the men's squad to a historic season in 2007 as Albion's 17 wins, including a victory over Kalamazoo in a non-league contest, were enough for the team to achieve its only berth in NCAA postseason play. Jason Ryan received the MIAA's Allen B. Stowe Award for sportsmanship, and Neil Forster gained recognition as the league's MVP and earned the Lawrence Green Award for academic performance during Frew's tenure.
"Coach Frew took the strong base of talent he inherited upon his arrival and built it into a complete program," said Albion men's golf coach Jordan Rich, '03, who was a men's tennis letter winner on teams coached by Frew. "The enhanced competitive atmosphere and conditioning program he implemented in his first days on campus paid off with numerous MIAA titles for the women's squad and continued improvement with the men's team. He was a fierce competitor and instilled a work ethic in his team members not only to succeed on the tennis court, but in the classroom as well. He took great pride in having an academically high-achieving roster. The footprint Coach Frew established will be felt on campus for many years to come."
Frew also served as head coach of the men's and women's tennis teams, head tennis professional, and co-director of the school's tennis camps Ferris State University from 1986 to 1991. He coached a Bulldogs' men's doubles team to a NCAA Division II national championship in 1989 and was named the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association Midwest Men's Coach of the Year in 1991. During Frew's tenure, FSU's varsity teams consistently placed among the top 15 teams in the NCAA Division II national rankings.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 12, 2012, at First United Methodist Church, 212 S. Park St., Kalamazoo. Visiting hours will be held on Thursday at the Joldersma & Klein Funeral Home, 917 S. Burdick, Kalamazoo, from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Scott's memory may be given to the ALS Association, the American Diabetes Association, the Greater Kalamazoo County YMCA or the Albion College Athletic Department.

Bisons set to host Campbell this weekend
The Lipscomb baseball team returns to Atlantic Sun Conference action this weekend as they host Campbell in a three-game series at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium.
Friday and Saturday's games will start at 6 p.m., while Sunday's game will begin at Noon. In honor of Mother's Day, admission will be free for everyone on Sunday.
The Bisons (15-29, 5-16 A-Sun) did not play a mid-week game this week due to exams. Head coach Jeff Forehand said the team has responded well after the time off.
"After we got beat Sunday we took two days off," Forehand said. "We always want to get back out there and try to get back to it, but we gave them two days off to get some preparations for exams."
"We had a little more spirited practice today. I thought we had a really good practice today. The guys are excited about playing again. Hopefully we can get back on track again Friday night."
The Bisons are coming off a disappointing home series to Belmont last weekend in which the Bruins took the final two games on the weekend. Lipscomb won Friday night's contest in a dramatic bottom of the ninth comeback. Belmont led 8-6 approaching the last half inning, but some timely hitting brought three runs in and the Bisons won 9-8. However, Belmont bounced back to win the next two games and take the series 2-1.
Lipscomb has lost five out of its last six A-Sun games. With only nine games conference games remaining, the Bisons know the importance of every single game.
"We have got to play one game at a time," Forehand said. "It sounds cliché, but we need to be putting our best effort in every game and coming away with a win. I hope the guys continue to feel the sense of urgency in every game."
Offensively the Bisons are led by upperclassmen Richie Goodenow and M.L. Williams. As Lipscomb's designated hitter, Goodenow holds a .373 batting average with a team-leading .418 on base percentage. Williams leads the Bisons in hits with 68 and has a .364 batting average.
Lipscomb right-handed junior Connor Sinclair will get the nod for Friday night once again this weekend. Sophomore leftie Blake Fonfara will start Saturday's contest. Sunday's starter has yet to be determined.
A Closer Look at Campbell:
Campbell (15-28, 2-19 A-Sun) will make their final trip to the Music City as members of the Atlantic Sun. The Fighting Camels have lost their last nine games and are 3-14 on the road this season.
Despite being in last place in the Atlantic Sun, Forehand said Campbell is a better team than their record shows.
"Campbell is a very well coached team," Forehand said. "You look at their record, and I throw all of that out. They will be prepared. Anybody in this league is capable of beating anybody."
Offensively, the Fighting Camels are led by senior infielder Ellis Lowe who has broken numerous records at Campbell throughout his career, including the school's all-time leader in runs batted in.
In game three of the Camels' series with Belmont, Lowe clubbed a two-run home run to pass Jeff Huff's (1998-01) RBI mark of 167. The San Diego, Calif. native is also the Camels' career leader in hits, doubles, runs, total bases and at-bats. Lowe's 320 career hits makes him the NCAA's active leader in that respective category.
"In the top players in our league, Lowe is one of them." Forehand said. "He is a hard worker, solid defender, tough out at the plate, and he is a guy everyone would love to have on their team."
Lowe will also finish as one of the top hitters in A-Sun baseball history. With 13 games remaining on the Campbell schedule, Lowe stands third in hits (No. 1 Ned French, Stetson, 340), fourth in doubles (No. 1 Frank Corr, Stetson, 79), eighth in at-bats (No. 1 Shane Jordan, Stetson, 995) and 19th in batting average with a .366 career mark (No. 1 Derrell Baker, Georgia Southern, .425).
All of this week's action will be carried on the Lipscomb Sports Network as well as A-Sun TV.

Are you attending any Fiber Festivals this autumn? If so, which ones and why?
Alas, I am not. I would've attended Stitches had it been held in Baltimore as it was in the past, but they moved it to Connecticut (I think). And I briefly entertained the idea of going to Rhinebeck, but opted for a trip to Napa Valley for my birthday instead. ;) Maybe next year!

PLEASANTON — Just more than 48 hours after being elected the next mayor of Pleasanton, Jerry Thorne found himself enjoying a peanut butter and jelly-covered English muffin and a cup of coffee, black, at Zorn's Restaurant.
Peering over his slim silver-rimmed glasses as he took a bite of his breakfast, he smiled apologetically.
"I hope you don't mind," he said. "It's the first time today I (was able) to get something to eat. I just got the mayor's schedule, and it is a lot busier than I thought."
The schedule, Thorne added, only books his calendar through the Christmas season. He has yet to see the schedule for the beginning of the new year.
But Thorne would not have it any other way.
As mayor-elect, Thorne does not find his new position to be work. Rather, he calls city politics a hobby that he thoroughly enjoys.
On Nov. 6, with all 47 precincts within the city reporting, Thorne won his months-long campaign for mayor with roughly 54 percent of the votes. His opponent, councilmember Cheryl Cook-Kallio, garnered 45 percent of the vote.
Thorne called his campaign the "hardest one" he has ever run, and he plans to immediately turn around and put all his effort from the campaign into his first mayoral term.
"The only thing slow about me is my accent," the Tennessee native joked. "We are hitting the ground running."
On his list of to-dos?
Looking at how to best proceed with the East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force's final report — a topic Thorne said should be a hot subject of debate within the city.
He is also looking forward to cutting the ribbon on the Kottinger Place/Pleasanton Gardens project once it is completed — a project that has been in the works for years.
But two main points, which he also heavily discussed during his campaign, will be at the forefront of Thorne's first term as mayor — balancing the budget and moving forward with pension negotiations.
Creating a system performance measurement standard for city staff to help them be aware of what is expected with tackling the budget is something Thorne believes will greatly help accomplish establishing a more even revenue/expenditure ratio.
Keeping residents informed about what is going on throughout the budget balancing and pension negotiation processes will also be crucial, Thorne added.
"Right now, 78 percent of the city's total revenue goes to wages, salaries and benefits," he said. "We have to sit down and look at what is suffering and find contingency plans if things do not recover at the state or federal level. We have to find those trigger points and ask 'What if this happens?' and 'What can we do at that point?' "
And while Thorne will spearhead a council that welcomes two new members and will soon look for a third to fill his vacated seat, Thorne said he is looking forward to working with Cook-Kallio and new members Jerry Pentin and Karla Brown.
"We have a very mature council," he said. "They are true statesmen and they are true representatives of their city."
Thorne officially takes over as mayor Dec. 4. He is replacing outgoing Mayor Jennifer Hosterman.

According to Jezebel, a bunch of dudes are trying to get in on the new dating app for lesbians called Dattch. (The lengths guys will go to for girl-on-girl action...) The funny thing is, this phenomenon reminded us something not so strange at all that's happened among a number of friends: Non-Jews joining JDate.
How does it work when a gentile joins JDate? Three non-Jews live to tell the tale:
JDate Gentile: Mark, 29, Chicago
Actual Religion: Raised Seventh-day Adventist Church
Why JDate: "I had enough confidence to sign up for JDate mostly because I had previously been in a long-term relationship with a Jewish girl while I was in college. I learned a lot about the Jewish faith and realized my family's and my personal values overlapped quite a bit with Jewish values."
Full disclosure: "[When I first joined,] I made it clear that I am not Jewish. I think I marketed myself pretty accurately (I'm lucky to be tall). I think I emphasized how much I like sweatpants, music, reading, cooking, and hiking."
The response: "Most memorable first date was an afternoon date at a popular Chicago bakery. Girl was attractive, seemed nice, good conversation going, and out of nowhere she told me that she will not give blow jobs before marriage. Good to know!?"
Success: "I almost blew it on our first date because, just before the date, I got a massage, which made me seem like I was stoned. Furthermore, I remember telling her how resilient I think squirrels are and backing this up with lots of info. I knew she was a very special person after that first date and didn't sleep much that night. I wrote her an email the following day and secured a second date asap. The rest is history. We're engaged!"
JDate Gentile: Claire, 31, Chicago
Actual Religion: No religious affiliation
Why JDate: "My roommate at the time was on the site and seemed to be having some success in meeting eligible bachelors. Key word: eligible. I was a little gun-shy about online dating, so if I could, I wanted to use a trusted source. I found out that you could sign up for JDate as a non-Jewish person."
Full disclosure: "I said that I wasn't Jewish, but that I was Italian and a lot of the cultural values that I'd observed in my Jewish friends (an emphasis on family and food, for instance) were part of my upbringing as well. So I tried to bridge the gap."
The response: "I never got any backlash that I recall from other women on the site, but I did keep it relatively quiet with friends because I didn't want female Jewish friends to feel like I was stealing their men. I went on one date that is memorable for many reasons, but one of the funniest is that I seemed to know more about Judaism than he did. Our date happened in late fall, and we were discussing Yom Kippur and the Jewish holidays, and he seemed to be unclear on which holidays celebrate which events in the Jewish tradition. I didn't want to push too hard on it during the date in case I was wrong (this wasn't MY culture, after all), but he seemed to think that Yom Kippur celebrated the migration of the Israelites through the dessert. I may not be Jewish, but I believe the holiday he was searching for is Passover."
Success: "I ended up removing myself from JDate (as I have from other online dating sites) because in the end, I don't think that online dating
is a good match for my personality. I've been happily living with my boyfriend of two years. Neither of us identify with one organized religion. We're more spiritual than religious.
JDate Gentile: Laura, 32, Los Angeles
Actual Religion: Raised Methodist, currently Buddhist Light
Why JDate: "I've always found Jewish guys really attractive in addition to being (more than average) very intelligent, cultured, and often really funny. So, this seemed like a great place to find them. Also, because of my towering height, (I'm nearly six feet), being able to sort by height was helpful. Take a minority population (Jewish guys) and make it even tinier (Jewish guys taller than me); for those kind of odds, online only made sense.".
Full disclosure: "I did have a disclaimer at the end (which I tried to make cute) that while I was in fact not Jewish, I thought Jewish guys are great and would be happy to meet some."
The response: "It was kind of tepid — not tons of emails, and one guy that I really liked and wrote a really thoughtful, clever note to responded very kindly but said that he was actually looking for a Jewish girl, which is totally fair of course."
Success: "I did go out with one guy who was a little older, and he was nice but a little awkward. I got a few dates out of JDate but decided it wasn't for me ultimately. I'm still dating, mostly guys I meet through friends."
Moral of the story? You don't have to be a member of the club to strike it rich in the relationship department. That, and the fact that tall Jewish men are basically unicorns.

Apple's new, smaller iPad, dubbed the iPad Mini, may cannibalize demand for its existing tablet computers, according to Tim Daniels, technology, media and telecommunications strategist at Olivetree Securities.
"It is not clear to me at the moment that consumers have the disposable income to upgrade their smartphone, and to buy an iPad, and to buy an iPad Mini. They might buy one, or at a stretch two, but I don't think they will buy all three," Daniels told CNBC Europe's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday.
"Given the pressure you can see on the consumer and the higher-end retailer — and let's face it, Apple is priced as a premium product — I suspect at the margin, you are going to see cannibalization."
Most analysts expect Apple to unveil a smaller version of the iPad at an event on Tuesday in San Jose, California, though no name or details have so far been revealed for such a product.
Daniels said that from an investor perspective, he was more interested in the iPad Mini's price point than its functionality.
"You are getting tablets out from people who are actually prepared to sell the tablets at a loss, like Amazon, because it leads onto other revenues that they generate," he said.
"I think Apple is always trying to walk a fine line between maintaining or growing its market share, but at the same time, not sacrificing its margins... The market, given the pull back in the stock recently, is getting increasingly skeptical about how well it is going to manage that balance going forward."
Apple's stock has rallied 56 percent year-to-date, but has fallen nearly 10 percent since its record high last month of $705.07.
Apple (along with Amazon ) will report third-quarter earnings on Thursday. The tech giant posted its best trading day in nearly five months on Monday, after Goldman Sachs reiterated its "buy" rating on the stock.

Portland State University, Smith Memorial Student Union, room 328, 1825 SW Broadway
A discussion with Paul Collins, Portland State University Associate Professor of English; Kevin Sampsell, author; and Catherine Loverti, Lewis & Clark College Visiting Assistant Professor of Foreign Languages and Literatures.
The power of memoir comes from its direct first person perspective. Yet, despite being non-fiction, how memory is transformed into memoir cannot simply be understood in terms of a reconstruction of facts. The panel discussion explores questions for memoir and memory to provide context for the general study of memoir as a genre and the specific issues that relate to memoirs written by under-represented writers in North America.
Presented as part of A Day in the Life: Memoirs from the Middle East, a book club series which aims to dispel common stereotypes of the Middle East by exploring literature from the region. The rich narratives, stimulating detail and enchanting dialogue of the selected memoirs will draw readers in and provide new perspectives on the Middle East, beyond war and politics. Through interactive and participatory book club discussions, readers will engage with the text, with experts and authors, and each other to explore the diversity of daily life in the Middle East and consider both the similarities to and differences from our own lives in Oregon.
A Day in the Life is presented by the Multnomah County Library and the Portland State University Department of English and Centers for Public Humanities and Middle East Studies and was made possible in part by a grant from Oregon Humanities, a statewide nonprofit organization and an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which funds Oregon Humanities' grant program. Any views, findings, and conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily reflect the views of Oregon Humanities or the National endowment for the Humanities.
The Portland State University Department of English offers a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate courses to meet the needs of students with a diversity of interests, and academic and professional backgrounds. The department offers courses in literature, rhetoric, composition, and critical theory and emphasizes intertextual and cross-disciplinary inquiry represented by many cultures and historical periods.
The Portland Center for the Public Humanities (PCPH) coordinates, promotes and supports rigorous humanistic inquiry into the languages, histories, and ideas that both shape our ways of life and offer a means of positively transforming them. PCPH's mission is to connect the scholarly community of PSU with the city, and its programs have focused on topics vital to public life. PCPH programming has examined topics such as sustainability and the humanities; the prison industrial complex; Holocaust and genocide studies; and religion and secularism.
The Portland State University Middle East Studies Center promotes understanding of the people, cultures, languages and religions of the Middle East. As a National Resource Center for Middle East Studies under the U.S. Department of Education's Title VI program, the Center serves as a resource on issues pertaining to the Middle East through activities that reach students and scholars, as well as businesses, educators, and the media. The Middle East Studies Center supports academic conferences, workshops, cultural events, lectures, and a resource library.
Multnomah County Library (MCL) is the oldest and largest public library in Oregon, serving nearly 20% of the state's population (approximately 724,000 residents). MCL cardholders are voracious consumers of the Library's collection, checking out over 33 items per person in 2011-12, the highest circulation of all libraries serving populations of fewer than one million. MCL hosted more than 22,000 events during the last year, including monthly meetings of 27 book discussion groups. More than 300,000 residents attended library programs. The community is eager for connection and learning – visiting the Library online or in person nearly 35,000 times each day in 2011-12. This November, nearly 63% of voters in the County voted to establish a library district, providing permanent, stable funding for this well-loved and well-used institution. MCL is guided by three pillars that define its role in and value to the community, which guides how MCL builds its collection and develop and present programming: 1) A free resource for all, 2) A trusted guide for learning, 3) The leading advocate for reading.

I. Intro
The warrior class in World of Warcraft is primarily a tank, although we have other options. What's a tank, you ask? A tank is a class whose primary role is to keep the monsters' attention and absorb damage while the other people in your group blast the monster with high-damage spells and heal you. The warrior is good at this as he/she can wear mail, and later plate, armor, and because he can use shields. Also, the warrior has innate abilities dealing with shields and maintaining aggro (the attention of the monster, or mob).
This is Blizzard's description of the Warrior:
Warriors are the melee-centered class. These characters are tough as nails and masters of weaponry and tactics. The special abilities of the Warrior are naturally combat-oriented. The Warrior is the ultimate toe-to-toe fighter with the most options available to him. Unlike other Warriors you might have played in other games, the Warrior of World of Warcraft has many different options and abilities to use during combat.
The Warrior can be a defensive, shielded tank, a damage-dealing powerhouse, or a mixture of the two. Their abilities obviously pertain to the art of close combat; their stances carry with them different moves for different situations and party setups. All in all, the Warrior is one of the prime candidates to capture and hold the attention of creatures while they die to sword and spell. We're not telling you how to play the game - one of the fascinating practices of this genre is the ingenuity exercised by the players every day!
As you can see, the warrior has several options: you can be a tank, mitigating loads of damage, a crazy physco damage dealer, or a mixture of both.
II. Gear Dependency
When deciding to choose whether or not to play a Warrior, it should be noted that the Warrior is very gear dependent. A warrior with outdated gear can be effectively a couple levels lower. So always keep up with your gear; search for all plate (or mail at earlier levels) armor for your revel range at the auction house every now and then to keep up to date. Of course, the best way to get new gear is by running instances. And everyone wants a warrior to be their tank .
III. What makes a Warrior different from other MMOs' Warriors?
The warrior has two bars: health and rage. Health is pretty self-explanatory; you die when it reaches zero. Rage is something unique to WoW. Instead of mana, you have rage. Rage depletes when out of combat, and you gain it mostly when dealing melee damage, and some when you take damage yourself. A two-handed weapon, for example, would give you much more rage than a one-handed weapon and a shield. The amount of rage gained per hit depends on how much damage you do compared to your level, and the amount of rage you gain when taking damage depends on how much damage you take compared to your level. You use your rage to perform special abilities, such as Battle Shout or Heroic Strike. Some abilities, such as Charge, give you rage.
Another feature of the Warrior that distinguishes him from warriors of other games is the stances. The Warrior has three stances: Battle Stance (you begin with this at level 1), Defensive Stance (obtained at level 10 by completing a quest), and Berserker Stance (obtained at level 30 by completing a quest). Each stance has its own unique abilities and certain bonuses. For example, the Charge ability is only usable in Battle Stance, but Shield Block is only usable in Defensive Stance. Also, Defensive Stance reduces both the damage you deal and the damage you take by 10%, while Berserker Stance increases the damage you take by 10% and your critical strike chance by 3%.
The stances also generate different amounts of threat. Both Battle and Berserker Stance generate 80% threat (the damage you deal and abilities you use deal 80% of the threat generated if you were not in a stance), and Defensive Stance generates 130% threat (145% with the talent Defiance).
IV. Weapons
There are three different weapon setups that the warrior has the option of using: a one-handed weapon and shield, a two-handed weapon, and dual-wield (availible at level 20...even if you don't plan on duel-wielding, it will behoove you to train the skill anyway, so if you get disarmed you can still use both fists). Using a two-handed weapon or dual-wield is designed to deal 20% more damage, but you lose the armor/block bonus of the shield (and all the abilities that come along with it, such as shield block). Because of the added damage (that you deal and you take), two-handed weapons and dual-wielding both generate more rage than the one-handed/shield combo. Dual-wield actually gives more rage than a two-handed weapon, but you will find that more warrior abilities are geared towards slow, high-damage 2h weapons, and dual-wield has a much higher miss rate (roughly 19% more). This more or less balances the two builds, although this is always disputed, and many warriors would say two-handed weapons are much better at the "endgame" for PvP (player versus player). However, a one-handed weapon and shield are mandatory for tanking endgame instances, and almost all Warriors will agree on that.
V. Strengths and Weaknesses
• Can wear all types of armor (cloth, leather, mail, plate [level 40], shields)
• Can use all types of weapons (except wands)
• Have pretty high survivability, outdone by only the Paladin, perhaps (although the Warrior is still a far better tank, and with the aid of a Paladin, has the best survivability)
• Good at melee combat and dealing damage
• Very good at holding "aggro," or the attention of a monster
• Very little downtime between fights, as the only thing you need to regenerate is health (easily healed with First Aid)
• Can close distance and stop runners with Charge or Intercept
• Able to fight continuously without having to regenerate mana: Rage is infinite.
• Very weak in ranged combat
• DPS (damage per second), although decent, is not very impressive compared to that of the Rogue or other such class (although if equipped well and specced correctly [has the right talents], a Warrior can actually rival and outdamage DPS classes)
• Very gear dependent
• Rage is accumulated through combat: you have none to begin with
• Lack of healing abilities
• No way to easily escape combat, compared to other classes

6 Tips for Long-Lasting Mentor Relationships:
Know Where to Look.
Throughout our personal and professional lives, we have opportunities to find mentors in many different places. You may find one within a professional or philanthropic organization like Step Up. Maybe there is a mentorship program at your company. Sometimes even our friends and family can lead us to a mentor. I've always found that the best way to find a mentor is to tell people you respect that you are looking for one. This may mean directly asking someone you admire, or even emailing your "mentor wish list" to a trusted group of colleagues or friends to see if they know someone who may be a resource.
Think Outside the Box.
When seeking a mentor, keep an open mind! It's not necessarily about finding someone who has a title you want or even a company you hope to work for someday. A valuable mentor may have honed a particular skill you admire or have experience overcoming specific challenges you are facing. We frequently tell the girls enrolled in our Step Up teen programs that their mentor may not even work in their target industry – it's about finding that guide that you trust and relate to and that can help you grow in important ways. It's also important to actively seek people who don't look like you and are diverse in age, gender and industry. As women, we may have a tendency to seek women mentors, because we believe they're best equipped to understand our unique challenges and situations. But there's value in having an objective perspective, and someone who operates in different circles than you.
Approaching a Potential Mentor.
Don't let fear keep you from making progress! Being asked to be a mentor is an honor, and most women will feel that way. Perhaps over coffee or tea (or by the phone if it's a long distance relationship!), you can share some of the areas you have in mind for growth and ask her if she'd be willing to help you in these areas as a mentor.
Set Expectations.
Since the key ingredient in the relationship is trust, both the mentor and the mentee must understand each other's expectations and take care to meet them.
Follow Through and Build Trust.
Since one of the basic rules is mentorship is that the mentor should only offer advice when asked, it's up to the mentee to continue to drive the relationship. Be diligent about keeping in touch, updating your mentor on your progress in desired areas of growth and identifying new challenges. Mentors can also send signals that they are still invested in the relationship by sharing any relevant articles or job opening announcements or even reaching out with warm wishes for a birthday or special occasion. You sought out a mentor because you had specific goals and dreams for yourself. Since you've taken the first (and most difficult!) step in establishing that relationship, be sure to nurture it by following through. If the mentor sees how valuable her help is to you, she is likely to invest even more in you. By being accountable to your goals and actions, you'll build that key element of a mentorship relationship: trust.
Pay it forward.
As valuable an experience as being a mentee is, women tell us all the time that being a mentor is just as valuable. Women at all levels of their careers can serve as mentors, whether it's with junior women in their own company, young women from within their own networks, or even teens in programs like Step Up. Young girls benefit tremendously from having mentors in their lives, both from the new skills and abilities it gives them, as well as the boost of confidence from having someone believe in and encourage you to reach your potential.

Savoy Hotel Special Cocktail* (No. 1)
1 Dash Absinthe. (Sirene Absinthe Verte)
2 Dashes Grenadine. (5ml Small Hand Foods Grenadine)
1/3 French Vermouth. (3/4 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth)
2/3 Dry Gin. (1 1/2 oz Beefeater Gin)
Shake (I stirred) well and strain into cocktail glass. Squeeze lemon peel on top.
* Peter ninth Earl of Savoy, brought to England, as his wards, eighty-three of the most wealthy and beautiful girls in France. He then married them to the most powerful nobles in England. That is why he wore armour.
On the Roselyn cocktail I complained about pointless and gratuitous en-pinkening of cocktails. Well, at least in the case of the Savoy Hotel Special (No. 1), there's enough of interest here that you don't mind it is slightly pink.
One thing I have noticed is a gross discrepancy in the size of bar spoons. To alleviate the questionable measuring in using them, I have decided to begin deploying a device called an Urban Bar Spoon. On one side it has a 5ml measure and on the other a 2.5ml measure. Going forward, for liquid items like grenadine, lemon juice, and others not typically kept in dasher bottles, I'm going to use a 2.5ml per dash standard. A bit large, I know, but I am also probably making the cocktails on the large side.
Edit: Fix typo in bar spoon size.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.
