If you've had it before, you'll know exactly why this is the best salad dressing/dip/spread of all time. Goddess dressing is a vegan-by-default tahini and parsley based dressing that is just magical. This stuff will turn any salad-hater into a ruminant. It's easy to make it wrong, though, and most store-bought varieties just don't do the trick. The best store-bought one is Annie's – but it's incredibly annoying to find it, at least here in Vancouver. None of my little mom and pop retailers carry the stuff.
Luckily, after some false starts, I landed upon the best recipe I could find online – which is, funny enough, at about.com. I modified the recipe a bit and now I really think it's the ultimate dressing. Make it for yourself and tell me what you think!
This is my cat, Hoover, adding his own "special ingredient" to the dressing: cat hair.
Start out with a food processor. This is a bit big for a Magic Bullet, but if you've halving the recipe you could use that little guy. I've not made it in a blender, but if you're experienced in emulsifying in a blender, go for it. I like my food processor because it has an insert in the top that I can fill with oil and it slowly drips in, making emulsifying a bit easier.
If you're new to making your own dressings, emulsifying is the process by which oil is mixed in with a liquid resulting in a creamy, opaque dressing. It's the same process by which mayonnaise is made.
The Ultimate Goddess Dressing (UGD), according to Malloreigh
1/2 cup tahini – note that oil/solid contents vary in tahinis, which could affect the end result of your UGD
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar – I like the organic unfiltered kind with the mother
1/4 cup soy sauce – for a gluten-free UGD, use GF tamari
1 tbsp lemon juice, about half a lemon's worth
1/2 tsp salt – use more if you're using kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp – 1/2 cup water – depends on the liquid content of your tahini. Start small and add more if it's necessary to blend.
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped and packed, or use 2 tbsp dry parsley
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp (6 tbsp total) sunflower, canola, grapeseed, or other light oil
Combine all ingredients except for the oils in your mixing apparatus of choice and blend until mixed thoroughly. Mix the oils together and very slowly pour in in a thin stream. My food processor has a "pusher" that goes in the access hole in the top. One of the compartments has a little hole at the bottom – so I can just pour my oil in there and it'll slowly stream in, saving minutes of labour that I can then spend having a glass of wine or petting the cat.
Enjoy as a vegetable crudité dip, salad dressing, or sandwich spread (if it's thick enough – mine never is).
Due to the vinegar and lemon juice content, this will probably last in the fridge for a while, but I'll never find out because I always use it so quickly.

Mark McNulty didn't feel any pressure about the 30-foot putt he was staring down on the fourth hole of a playoff Sunday. After all, nobody expects to make those anyway.
Well, McNulty nailed it.
McNulty won the Principal Charity Classic for his seventh Champions Tour victory, beating Fred Funk with a left-to-right birdie putt to end a thrilling playoff.
The 55-year-old McNulty closed with a 5-under 66 to match Funk (66) and second-round leader Nick Price (68) at 10-under 203 on the Glen Oaks Country Club course. McNulty and Funk birdied the second extra hole to eliminate Price.
McNulty, from Zimbabwe, saved par on the third playoff hole – on the par-4 17th – after hitting to the fringe of the green, and Funk's birdie putt lipped out.
Funk tossed his putter in disbelief – and McNulty wouldn't let Funk get another chance to beat him.
Funk couldn't convert a tough birdie try on the par-4 18th, and McNulty's putt gave him his first win since the 2007 JELD-WEN Tradition. McNulty also is the first international winner in the nine-year event.
"Fred had already putted. I knew the line, I had the pace," McNulty said. "It's not like I had a 6-footer. There's more pressure on a 6-foot putt."
McNulty rallied from two strokes down in regulation with birdies on 16 and 17. Price joined Funk and McNulty in the playoff with a birdie on 18. All three players birdied the 18th to open the playoff, and 18 also was used for the second extra hole.
It was the Champions Tour's longest playoff since Bernhard Langer beat Jay Haas in seven holes in the 2008 Toshiba Classic.
Mark Wiebe (69) finished fourth at 8 under, and David Eger (68) was fifth at 7 under. John Cook (64) topped a six-player group at 6 under.
Funk, coming off a fifth-place tie in the Senior PGA Championship, closed the front nine with four birdies in six holes to take a one-stroke lead over McNulty. Funk made a difficult par putt on No. 13 to keep the lead, and McNulty barely missed a par putt on the 15th to fall two strokes back with three to play.
McNulty birdied the 16th to get back within a stroke and, after a great approach on the treacherous 17th, made another birdie putt to pull even with Funk.
McNulty and Funk hit approaches on the 18th that landed in nearly identical spots on the green. Funk left his birdie putt just short of the hole, while McNulty's try fell just inches shy of the cup on a hole.
McNulty also missed a similar putt on the first hole of the playoff on 18, and he finally nailed it at the end.
"All day, it was sort of catching up, behind, catching up, behind, and (Funk) was sort of always one step ahead," McNulty said. "He's got to maintain that one step, and I've got to catch up that one step, so I'm fortunate enough that I managed to it."
McNulty birdied four of his last seven holes, and that bogey on No. 15 was his only one of the day.
"Mark won it. Nobody gave it to anyone," Funk said.
Price was the second-round leader for the second year in a row at Glen Oaks. He squandered a one-stroke lead in the final round last year, and it looked as if it would be a repeat after he bogeyed three of his first six holes.
He steadied himself with three straight birdies, but a bogey on No. 10 put him two strokes down with eight holes left. Price followed that with a pair of birdies before forcing his way into the playoff with a birdie on No. 18.
Sixty-five-year-old Bruce Summerhays (68) tied for 12th at 6 under, his best showing since he won the 2004 Kroger Classic. Two-time defending champion Jay Haas (71) finished at 3 under.
Mark O'Meara withdrew before teeing off for the final round because of a bad lower back. R.W. Eaks left after seven holes because his chronic back issues flared up.

Suicide Onset Following Antidepressant Initiation
Robert Penfold, Ph.D., Group Health Cooperative
2012 Standard Research Grant
Inside the Research
Bio: Dr. Penfold received his doctorate from the University of Toronto in Canada in 2004. He is currently a Health Science Specialist with the Veterans Health Administration, an Assistant Scientific Investigator at the Group Health Research Institute, and an Assistant Professor in Health Services Research at the University of Washington.
Research Categories: Antidepressant treatment and suicidal behavior, statistical approaches such as marginal structural models
Abstract: There is conflicting evidence concerning the effects of antidepressant medications on the risk of suicide attempts. It is unknown whether antidepressant treatment exacerbates suicidal ideation or behavior in people previously reporting those thoughts, or whether individuals with no history of suicidal ideation spontaneously develop these thoughts after exposure to antidepressants. Dr. Penfold's study population will include approximately 148,000 individuals undergoing depression treatment at Group Health Cooperative between July 2006 and June 2012 for whom baseline (pre-treatment) and follow-up Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) scores.were available The goal is to examine the risk for new or increased suicidal ideation and suicide attempts associated with antidepressant treatment among individuals 13 to 84 years old. He will compare those who just began antidepressant treatment with individuals in ongoing treatment for depression. He will also compare the risk of increased suicidal ideation and attempts in individuals who (1) use antidepressants only, (2) attend psychotherapy only, and (3) use both psychotherapy and antidepressant medications together. A unique aspect of the study is the application of sophisticated statistical techniques (Marginal Structural Models) to routinely collected patient medical record data.
Impact: To identify risk for suicidal behavior with antidepressant use, and to apply statistical methods for studying routine medial records to understand actual clinical practice and outcomes.

Known as Mach Go Go Go in Japan, Speed Racer holds a special place in our hearts from when they replayed the show on MTV (we'll see about the Speed Racer) film. It was a great introduction to the world of auto racing (though, it sort of skewed our view of it for a time). Some may think the show cheesy, but the show was our Le Mans until we saw that film many years later. At under $10.00, this makes a great stocking stuffer.
Sure, the DVD speeds up some of the sequences from the last episode. But it's still the best way to get the episodes without having to go through the trouble of tracking down the torrents. And Trixie! Surely, we're not the only ones who carried the thought of Trixie in their adolescent hearts.

My kids love this stuff. Once they get a taste they want to eat it all the time. I use it to supplement their mom's and it has worked out well.
Paul & Roxanne S from Iowa
Excellent product but it was not clarified how many servings it would actually do.
Tiffany S
Use warm water & a wisp like they recommend, and a lot of patience, but is reassuring to have have on hand for when needed!!!
Linda P from Montana
After trying every available brand of colostrum replacer on the market -- six in total -- I found Saskatoon Colostrum Company's product far superior to the others. Sold in the US as Land O Lakes brand, this product boosted the survival of my bum lambs obtained from unvaccinated flocks from 87% to nearly 100%. Good to use for lambs from first-time lambers, large litters, those that get chilled down, or any others that look a bit weak. It's expensive but will more than pay for itself with more and healthier lambs.

When TSV 1860 München were relegated at the end of the 1980/81 season, many felt it would only be a matter of time before their star striker Rudi Völler returned to the top flight, with or without the Munich club. Cast into the wilderness of the 2. Bundesliga, Völler continued to produce eye-catching performances as scouts flocked to the Olympiastadion, including national Under-21 coach Berti Vogts. A call-up resulted and Völler soon began repaying the faith.
Two goals in West Germany's opening qualifying match of the 1982 UEFA European Under-21 Championship against Austria proved a springboard to a successful campaign for both player and country. Völler added three more as the side reached the final but England proved too strong for the Germans in Sheffield. The visitors were 3-0 down when the determined Völler reduced the deficit late on. Injury ruled him out of the return, which saw England hold off a Pierre Littbarski-led comeback to claim the title.
Völler did not look back, though, joining Werder Bremen that summer and enjoying immediate success, including his first senior international cap. He went on to score 47 goals in 90 appearances for Germany, and lifted the inaugural UEFA Champions League trophy with Olympique de Marseille in 1993. The pinnacle of his international career came at the 1990 FIFA World Cup. After belatedly helping the Germans avenge that Under-21 loss to England with victory against Bobby Robson's side in the last four, Völler won the decisive penalty in the final against Argentina in Rome.

Royal prank DJ Mel Greig sues Southern Cross Austereo for failing to provide safe workplace
Radio host Mel Greig, who broadcast a prank call which revealed private medical details of the Duchess of Cambridge last year, is suing her employer for failing to provide a safe workplace.
Nurse Jacintha Saldanha committed suicide after taking a call from Greig and fellow 2DayFM presenter Michael Christian about Kate Middleton, who was being treated for acute morning sickness in a London hospital.
The radio host pretended to be the Queen inquiring about the Duchess's condition and was put through to another staff member after duping the nurse.
The hoax was widely publicised in the British media, and Indian-born nurse Ms Saldanha was found dead in her lodgings near King Edward VII Hospital a few days later.
Today, it emerged Greig has lodged an application with Fair Work Australia claiming her employer, Southern Cross Austereo, failed to maintain a safe workplace.
"The matter will proceed to confidential conciliation under the Fair Work Act," Greig's lawyer, Steven Lewis, said.
Fair Work Australia says if nothing was resolved through the conciliation process, Grieg would need to pursue legal action through the Federal Court.
Greig remains on an extended leave of absence, however Christian has returned to the airwaves.
Last month, Southern Cross Austereo honoured him with an Australia's Next Top Jock award after a 12-week competition.
The company has declined to comment on the matter before Fair Work Australia.
Greig has been given permission to appear at the inquest into the nurse's death, which is due to take place later this year.
Her lawyers say she is prepared to answer any questions the coroner or the family's lawyers put to her.

Dateline September 1, 1939 —
Nine days ago, on August 23rd, 1939, Nazi Germany & Soviet Russia signed a Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, formally known as the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. This was a foreshadow to war. If you were expecting a Labor Day blog then you are mistaken; Not this year. It has been exactly 75 years since World War II began with the invasion of Poland.
The 20th Century's most heinous death sprees: World War II, The Holocaust, The Korean War and The Cold War are an era when between 30 Million-nearly 100 Million were killed, some genocidally. Truly a century of madness.
But it started with the fifth partition of Poland. FIVE ??? Yes, I said five partitions. The first three partitions (zabiory) in 1772, 1793, 1795 were by: Prussia, Austria, and Russia. These are the reason we see: Ger-Poland, Rus-Poland or Aus-Poland in the US Census during the Great Migration era 1870-1920. This jester likens Napoleon's Duchy of Warsaw as the 4th partition (1807-1815). So when the Nazis and Soviets invade Poland in 1939 to form the General Government, with its Districts: Warsaw, Radom Lublin, and Krakow (2 years hence, 1941 with Operation Barbarosa, also Galicia) we arrive at the fifth partition.
Stanczyk, mentions those 4 or 5 Districts (Distrikts) as they are important to interpret the administrative hierarchy for the vital records between 1939-1945. It was the same in the prior four partitions of Poland that administrative hierarchy changes occurred.
The largest civil administrative division, what Americans might think of as Province/State was variously known, depending on partition as: Provinz/Kreis, Wojewodztwo, Gubernia, Departament and Distrikt. Knowing the civil administrative hierarchy is important in locating your ancestor's village.
Let's hope that Russia's annexation of the Crimean peninsula and the support of the Russian Rebels in Ukraine and the Syrian Civil War giving rise to the fascist Islamic State is not the beginning of the 21st century of madness. Think !

I've already written about configuring and using DLink wireless card with the help of RT61 driver. However, few readers like to know more about Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) secure wireless configurations.
Step # 1: Configure Router / AP with WPA2 Security Mode
First you need to configure WPA2 security mode on the access point. All devices on your network must use the same security mode in order to communicate. Open router configuration by visiting default IP https://192.168.1.1/ and setup
- Security Mode: WPA2 Personal
- WPA2 Algorithm: You may choose from AES or TKIP+AES. Choose TKIP+AES if you have both WPA and WPA2 devices on your network.
- WPA2 Pre-Shared Key: Choose a unique key to authenticate with other devices on your network. The Pre-Shared Key must be between 8 and 63 characters in length. You can generate unique key by visiting this webpage. You can also use standard UNIX / Linux utilities to generates true random passwords (key) by using the /dev/random feature of Linux.
- Group Key Renewal: This settings determines how often your group key changes.
(Fig. 01: Configure WPA2 for your router / access point)
Step # 2: Configure RT61 Wireless Card
Open /etc/network/interfaces file and make changes as follows:
$ sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
auto ra0 iface ra0 inet dhcp pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode managed pre-up ifconfig ra0 up pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid nixcraft pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPA2PSK pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK='|zdUkK(!X)_'G!}@1|@OS/6RA#'+}eq8b&V@x1%OZyyDVV:Xwp8UmwLFNS^7=A+' pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=AES
Save and close the file. Make sure you replace device name (ra0), essid and WPAPSK with actual configuration parameters. Restart the networking:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
Other simple security suggestion
- Change the default admin password on the access point / router.
- If possible turn off administration feature on the access point for wireless interface
- Set up an access control list by Mac address of all devices you want to associate with the access point.
Please note that above instructions are only tested using RT61 driver under Ubuntu Linux. However, instructions should work with any other Linux distos and drivers with minor or minimum changes.
Suggested readings:
- man pages – iwpriv, interfaces, iwconfig
- Original RT61 configuration how to
- Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA2 page

Shirt Cuff Wallet
I was using some of the fabric from an old button-down shirt for other projects, and the odds and ends (cuffs, collar, buttons) always tend to be the hardest bits of clothing to recycle. I had been wanting a wallet upgrade - just a simple, good-looking outer shell with a cash pocket, to hold a photo sleeve / card holder I already had. It turned out that these particular shirt cuffs were the perfect width for the holder. I loved this plaid fabric and was totally tickled that the size worked out.
I cut the cuff off above the hem, leaving it intact so I'd be able to use the button and buttonhole to close the wallet. Then I cut a rectangle from the front of the shirt, hemmed it, and sewed it to the cuff to serve as a pocket for cash and to hold the cards. (The top edges look a little frayed because I cut that part directly from the shirt - but I made sure to cut along the part where the cuff joined the sleeve so it wouldn't fray any further. I could have tidied it up with bias tape, but I kinda dig the weathered look.)
Less than an hour's worth of work, and bits and pieces of fabric I thought I'd have to throw away, and my cash and cards have a nifty new place to call home!

This such a great idea. Now I have to go hunt up some shirt cuffs!
- February 19, 2010 at 11:14 AM
Way cool. I can see adding a zipper then you could fasten the cuff around your wrist for when you are jogging or bike riding and wanting to be hands free.

I train at home nowadays but back in the day I saw a guy come in, pick up a set of dumbells way to heavy for him. Pull about 4 reps swinging his entire body to get momentum, then dropped the dumbells, flexed and screamed YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH! at the top of his voice.

Houzz, a leading online platform for remodeling and design, recently released the results of its second annual Houzz & Home survey. And there were some impressive findings.
More than half (53 percent) of the respondents said they believe now is a good time to remodel. A large majority of respondents (75 percent) also think this is a good time to buy a home, aligning with a recent Commerce Dept. report that said single-family home construction is at the highest level in four and a half years.
Topping the list of remodel projects are bathrooms and kitchens. Twenty-eight percent of respondents plan to update a bathroom, and 23 percent are planning a kitchen remodel or addition. Naturally, kitchen projects command the lion share of dollars spent. Houzz reports that over the past five years, the average kitchen remodel runs about $28,030, ranging from $54,942 for higher-end kitchens, $22,390 for mid-range kitchens, and $7,133 for lower-budget kitchens.
The majority of homeowners surveyed who are planning a remodel in the coming two years will hire a general contractor (58 percent). A third of respondents (36 percent) will hire a kitchen/bath professional, and another third (34 percent) will hire a carpet/flooring pro. Twenty-three percent will hire an architect, and 22 percent an interior designer.
The Houzz & Home Survey was sent to registered users of the Houzz website, and more than 100,000 people responded. The 2013 survey is the largest ever conducted of remodeling and decorating activity. View the full report.
Adding a fireplace or stove as part of a remodel project, or renovating an existing fireplace, will not only add ambiance and warmth to your home, but can be a smart investment. Fireplaces are one of the top three features new homeowners request, according to the National Association of Homebuilders. To help you visualize what's possible, we've included a few "before and after" project photos.
There are many styles of fireplaces and stoves for remodel projects. You can choose from traditional or contemporary design, and from various fuels like gas, wood and pellet. Check out the many options here.

The Paradoxical Comfort of Bureaucracy
by Jacques Delacroix | Posted July 24, 2012
Back in the days when your grandfather was still looking at your grandmother with inquisitive lust, I spent about 18 months on an aircraft carrier. I was a draftee in the French Navy, untrained for anything and possibly the lowest man on the totem-pole. I was 21 when I got out. In good time, I attended the university and graduate school in the US and I became a scholar in organizational theory (a pretty good one if I say so myself).
But my brief military experience remains vivid in my memory. In part, that's because everything you do at 20 tends to live in the brain in Technicolor and in Panavision. In part it's alive in my mind because interesting things happened there. When I write now about my naval period, I feel almost forced to apply a bit of organizational analysis to my memories. It's a slightly disturbing experience because being a small cog in a bureaucratic organization, a state organization at that, unexpectedly fails to evoke bad feelings.
It's disturbing because life and work within a bureaucracy is at the antipodes of libertarian utopian imagery. It's disturbing, additionally, because government routinely acts as the principal agent of routine state oppression in societies with a constitutional government such as the US. This malaise is also an opportunity. I believe that people who think of themselves as libertarians, even those with a mere libertarian bent, don't spend enough time thinking about disconfirming evidence, about experiences that run counter to their main existential choices. Here is a brief analysis, one that may speak a little to the issue of why some people are attached to bureaucracies in spite of their libertarian leanings.
In the navy, for days and weeks on end, I lived in an environment made entirely of steel except for the small patch of linoleum I cleaned every morning and the occasional spare piece of rubber connection. To be completely accurate, I have to specify that there were also plastic curtains around the bunks and part-cotton sheets inside. And the metal surroundings were all not especially unpleasant. Perhaps, if you are going to venture on the treacherous ocean, it's good to do it in a vessel made of thick sheets of steel joined together by large and visible steel nuts and bolts.
I felt the same about the organizational environment as I did about the physical environment of the ship. In general, I felt safe on the aircraft carrier. There were several reasons, some of which it costs me to remember because doing so constitutes a confession of sorts.
First, there were well-thought-out and well-rehearsed routines for everything, at least for everything that I knew then and, to a large extent, even for what I now know. (I never experienced naval combat, but I think the same principle prevailed there.) You could believe that whatever happened, the people doing something about the whatever would not be improvising a response. You could also be confident that their response would be familiar — familiar to them, that is, however alien it seemed to you.
Perhaps, if you are going to venture on the treacherous ocean, it's good to do it in a vessel made of thick sheets of steel.
Even my living-quarters close neighbors, the bosun's mates who were operating under the influence of alcohol most of the time, projected an air of competence. Bringing two small boats smoothly side by side in a choppy sea did not seem to tax the young guys who I would have bet could probably not negotiate the gangway to get themselves ashore for a fresh drink.
The second behavioral factor contributing to this feeling of safety was chronic overstaffing. I think that personnel redundancy is a general organizational principle in navies, military organizations, as opposed to merchant fleets, for example. The aircraft carrier is a special case because of its multiple functions. So I will focus on the case of a small destroyer that is similar in size to many cargo-ships of the pre-container period. My considered, serious guess is that the crew of a destroyer was at least three times larger than the crew of a freighter of similar tonnage. Or, to put it another way, the captain of a small freighter of the day could easily have boasted: "I can run this destroyer with my eighteen men. Just put ashore its current excessive crew of sixty. We will do the job, no problem. Perhaps, leave one gunner behind; no big deal."
Overstaffing is a luxury that ensures that few if any organizational members will be stressed by overwork, except perhaps at the very top. There were telling details supporting this perspective, details that would have bespoken laziness in any framework other than a military one. Thus, when the officer on watch on the bridge made an announcement over the ship's public address system, he did not conclude his address with a greeting or introduce himself or give a summary, nor did he hang the mike himself. He had an enlisted gopher standing by to make these small gestures for him.
Another way to speak of overstaffing is to refer to underwork. My boss was the Chief of Operations, the third ranker on board. He had one full yeoman, a guy who had signed up voluntarily and who had been more or less trained by the navy. I, a draftee, had received no training beyond boot camp. My boss agreed early in our acquaintance that his assistant-yeoman, myself, was to deliver each day a given, limited amount of work. The amount was one single typed stencil. That would have been the amount of typing a careful, well-trained professional typist (working on terra firma) could easily have supplied in one hour. The key to understanding the apparent waste is this: At any one time, my boss the Operations Chief knew that he could put seaman Delacroix to work to do the urgent or the unexpected — hand-carry a message, sharpen his pencils, or pick up his laundry in a raging storm — without sacrificing any other aspect of his, the Chief's, responsibilities. So the abundance of underutilized work capacity was a source of comfort for all aboard ship; it implied that those with serious responsibilities were unlikely to be overwhelmed by them.
The principle of overstaffing, or of an underutilized work force, ran throughout and up and down the complex organizational chart of the aircraft carrier. There were three apparent exceptions. First, some menial functions might be understaffed for a short time. Second, one crucial but rarely performed task apparently failed to command sufficient personnel. Third, the most industry-like subpart of the ship's organization seemed to be perennially short of qualified bodies.
First, the menials. It might happen occasionally and for a brief period that some small functional department was short one man. That would always be in areas of activity where overworking the remaining men, by giving each the equivalent of half a civilian work load, for example, would not seriously endanger other operations. I am literally referring to peeling potatoes and to cutting hair while at sea. It was common practice among petty-officers to bribe the crewmen thus rudely put upon, with a couple of bottles of beer. (Yes, there was and there is alcohol on French naval ships. Their crews may not shoot straight but they are not stressed!)
A second exception to the rule of underutilization of personnel still puzzles me a little. There was only one old senior petty-officer on board who was able to steer the huge ship through certain narrow harbor entrances in very stormy seas. This scarcity perplexes me because the task was in no way comparable in its importance to peeling potatoes, for instance. The preservation of extremely expensive matériel and possibly the safeguarding of many lives demanded that this skill be available.
Yes, there was and there is alcohol on French naval ships. Their crews may not shoot straight but they are not stressed!
I have no solid explanation for this queer penury. Here is my best guess though: most of the functions to be performed on the ship could be reduced to small gestures that could in turn be described concretely and thereby routinized. Most of those functions could be reduced to routines that were easy to learn even for the moderately gifted. Producing in advance of need a ready supply of people to perform those functions was not a big deal. Those common functions demanded only carefulness for successful performance. By contrast, the ability to drive a gigantic floating object battered by winds and contradictory wave conditions through a narrow passage depended on tacit knowledge.
Tacit knowledge is knowledge that is difficult to transfer deliberately. It's what can be learned but cannot be taught, or only taught to a limited extent. Tacit knowledge is found also in art, in dress-designing, in bread-baking and of, course, in the brewing of beer. I mean with respect to the latter that it's easy to brew beer and fiendishly difficult to brew good beer. Because much of tacit knowledge cannot be taught, precisely, it may often be in short supply. Alternatively, it may occur naturally more commonly than is objectively necessary (as with artists, for example). Such oversupply does not receive much notice, naturally. Only shortages are noticeable.
The third exception to the principle of overstaffing keeps sticking in my mind because it does not make obvious sense in spite of my best efforts.The flight deck crewmen often complained of overwork. Their jobs were both essential (obviously, we were on an aircraft carrier) and as minutely divided and routinized as anything, anywhere on earth. So, if the principle of overstaffing did not apply to them, it was not because their work relied on tacit knowledge that was hard to find. Neither were they expendable like the potato jockeys I evoked earlier. I just don't know for sure why they said they were overworked. This want of an explanation mars my nice analysis, but I must almost leave it at that. I say "almost," because I sometimes had the thought that being overworked — or proclaiming oneself overworked — was cool for flight deck personnel but not for other crewmen.
They, the flight deck crewmen, had to work day in and day out with pilots whose own exalted status was likely to create different emotions around them. Come to think of it, I had an intuition about that cultural proximity factor right then. I spent much time observing landing and takeoff maneuvers on the flight deck from a safe spot. And I was well aware of aviation crewmen's complaints about overwork. Nevertheless, their complaints never troubled my own sense of comfort, although my tiny office, with me inside, bent over my typewriter, could have easily been wiped out by a single misdirected landing.
I hope the reader understands that the few preceding paragraphs constitute a kind of regrettable but real declaration of faith in well-designed bureaucracy. Of course no one asked that particular bureaucracy to be efficient. It was expected only to be effective, to get the job done, almost irrespective of cost.

You can always re-up. We had a name for guys like you when I served, "Lifers." Seriously though, there's nothing like a well oiled machine, be it in the military, sports, or private enterprise, and your well written observations are spot on. I think it was best represented in the movie "Das Boot."
I worked for a great organization once, it was The Hospital Products Division of Abbott Laboratories in the 1980s. We all trained together, we pitched in and helped one another as if our lives (livelihoods) depended on it. Each of us expected to "pull our own weight," and we demanded others do the same. It was a great experience.
When put to the test in battle, training and dedication and preparation win the day. Thanks for the great article.

The author expresses some surprise that service in his country's navy failed to "evoke bad feelings" within. Why should simple service in the armed forces of one's country evoke bad feelings? The efforts of some libertarians to distance themselves from natural social impulses is queer indeed, and even, to some extent, revolting.
The rest of the essay is quite interesting, even as it takes us into the murky realm of "organizational theory."

I am surprised because I was living within one of the worst possible bureaucracies. I mean a real bureaucratic bureaucracy. I dislike organizations in general, both from a gut feeling and from theoretical experience I am able to write about from a scholarly standpoint. That's the original basis for attraction to libertarianism. So, there is a contradiction worth elucidating, perhaps.
There was no original "social" anything. I was drafted, as I say in the essay. There was also no patriotism.
Organizational theory is not a "murky realm," just the name. Also, it has the merit of being largely counterintuitive while maintaining a known relationship to facts. I recommend you try to read Delacroix in scholarly journals. I recommend it highly. Ah, ah!

Loved the article. It could be retitled "All I need to know I learned from drunks aboard the Clem" (or was it the Foch?).
On a more serious note, it's nice to see that the French government has so much in common with the US. You are saying that the French Navy excelled at producing an abundance of useless warm bodies while leaving vital roles understaffed. Truly, any US Federal or State agency employee can attest that their joints operate on the same principle. No surprise here.

The winds of economic destruction blow as hard in Baltimore as anywhere else. But business brainpower tends to stay anchored to the land of pleasant living.
Alex. Brown is long gone, but the firm's tradition and former employees carry on at Brown Advisory, Signal Hill Capital and other firms. Legg Mason's former securities-research operation runs under the Stifel Nicolaus label. Felix Dawson isn't employed by Constellation Energy any more, but he's still here, working to save the Baltimore Grand Prix.
Now senior executives who once worked for Mercantile Bankshares, bought by PNC Financial in 2007, are part of the effort to revive 1st Mariner Bank.
Jack E. Steil, who was Mercantile's chief credit officer, has been advising investors contemplating a capital infusion and takeover of 1st Mariner, which has been plastered by uncollectable mortgage and commercial loans. Robert D. Kunisch Jr., who worked with Steil at Wilmington Trust after they both left Mercantile, is also part of the team. (M&T Bank bought Wilmington Trust this year.)
1st Mariner disclosed the executives' involvement on Friday as part of its announcement that Edwin F. Hale Sr., the bank's founder, face and biggest shareholder, has resigned as chairman and chief executive. Steil and Kunisch are working with private equity firm Priam Capital, which said in April it would invest millions in 1st Mariner and try to raise additional capital to turn the bank around.
Whether that deal gets done is far from guaranteed or even likely. The parties have missed two self-imposed deadlines to complete it. 1st Mariner continues to shed money, having declared a $7.9 million loss for the third quarter. Hale doesn't sound optimistic that the economy will turn around any time soon.
"I don't see any end in sight for the spiraling down of real estate values," he said in an interview.
Nor is Hale's departure a promise that a Priam investment is close. He has said all year that he would make way for a Priam-appointed chief executive. But when asked about the timing of his resignation Thursday, Hale said it was tied to that fact that he turned 65 in November, the traditional age of retirement. He declined to comment on whether a deal is close.
Steil and Kunisch didn't respond to phone messages left at their homes. But if they end up running 1st Mariner for Priam, the culture change is likely to be striking.
Hale is a plain-talking former trucking executive who prides himself on a working-class background. Mercantile was the blueblood bank, lending largely to the rich, founded during the Civil War to protect the wealth of tobacco interests from marauding Union troops.
Another contrast: Mercantile made loans that got paid back. Under the leadership of H. Furlong Baldwin from the 1970s to the early 2000s, it was one of the most profitable banks and best-performing stocks in the country. From the CEO's office to the bank tellers, Mercantile operated under a philosophy of prudent risk-taking, an approach that Steil is said to have absorbed.
One of Steil's mentors was Douglas W. Dodge, who retired as Mercantile's president in 1994 and was credited by Baldwin at the time as instilling a lending discipline that "was responsible for our weathering, in good style, the problems that pervaded our industry" during the real estate crash of the early 1990s.
Like Dodge, Steil "knew how to underwrite, knew how to make sure standards were adhered to at the company," said David E. Borowy, Bay Bank's chief financial officer and a former Mercantile executive. "He held loan officers accountable for each loan that they made. They didn't have a chance to pass it off to a workout group. If a loan went bad, these were the guys that had to live with it."
1st Mariner did not weather the 2000s real estate crash in good style. The best future loan discipline in the world can't change the fact that the bank has lost more than $100 million since 2007. It's hard to imagine a rescue by Priam or anybody else that doesn't involve huge taxpayer contributions via the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
But if the government and investors can agree on a rescue deal, 1st Mariner will be long overdue for Mercantile-style lending standards. And in Baltimore, the enduring intellectual capital of business may have paid off again.
The winds of economic destruction blow as hard in Baltimore as anywhere else. But business brainpower tends to stay anchored to the land of pleasant living.

In what the dankprofessor considers a bizarre ruling, the Israeli National Labor Court found that a sexual relationship between an employer and employee can never be considered consensual even if the employee was the initiator and seducer. And if the relationship was purely sexually focused, the employer has engaged in sexual harassment.
The court stated- "in cases of a relationship that is in essence opportunistic sexual relations in the workplace, the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the superior, even if it proven that the subordinate seduced him."
According to the Jerusalem Post, women activists and experts in work relations have welcomed the court decision even though the relationship was voluntary and mutual and may have been initiated by the subordinate.
Attorney for the plaintiff, Sigal Pa'il stated "there must be a clear and unequivocal message regarding the norms of conduct in hierarchical relations at the workplace to turn it as much as possible into a sterile place free of intimate relations between employer and employee. The Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law imposes extra responsibility on the employer to prevent sexual harassment, especially inside the workplace."
A panel of five judges awarded damages to a 43-year-old woman who maintained a sexual relationship with the chief engineer of the company. As reported by the Jerusalem Post-
The chief engineer was head of several departments, including the one in which the plaintiff worked. The relationship was entirely sexual and took place in the office, in the car on the way to or from work and at the beach. Each was married when they met.
The district court accepted the man's claim that the woman had flirted with and tried to seduce him. It also ruled that the plaintiff was obliged to provide stronger proof to back her charges than she would in ordinary civil suit.
Nonetheless, National Labor Court Judge Varda Wirth Livne wrote that "I place the main burden of responsibility on the person who had the authority and attribute less responsibility to the employee who worked under him.
"This is the precedent which I would like to bring to my decision. When we are talking about a relationship that entails nothing more than occasional sex in the security room of the work place, and when, even according to the superior's version, the relationship did not include anything more than sex, all the responsibility falls on the superior and there is no relevance to the fact that the employee tried to seduce him by wearing provocative clothes or acting in a certain way." Wirth Livne added that "the aim of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law is to convey a message to employers and superiors that sexual-intimate relations between a superior and an employee which includes no more than sexual acts in the work place should be perceived as inappropriate behavior which should be regarded as sexual harassment while exploiting one's authority."
So if one is to take Judge Varda Livne seriously, then a relationship in the workplace between an employer and employee involving both love and sex would be "acceptable". Some how I doubt that love would be allowed to trump sex.
The dankprofessor also doubts the Jerusalem Post's characterization that "women activists and experts in work relations have welcomed the court decision". Have women activists in Israel really reached a level where they would eagerly embrace such a convoluted decision?
The attorney for the plaintiff did get it right when he stated that this decision will help to turn the workplace as much as possible into a sterile place free of intimate relations. And the consequences of this decision and similar court decisions do lead to sterile workplaces and when applicable to sterile university places. The tragedy and the absurdity is that too many people welcome such sterility although the welcoming may very well be for other people and not for themselves.
ADDENDUM- Some how the dankprofessor missed, but what should have been obvious, is that the court embraced the campus feminist cant that differential power precludes consent. Unfortunately, this genre of American feminism has found a home in Israeli courts.

Former Central Connecticut football player Hunter Wanket was selected as the Week Ten Offensive Player of the Week by the Professional Indoor Football League on Monday.
Wanket, a quarterback for the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks, filled in for an idle Adam Bednarik, who missed the game due to personal reasons, and the Steelhawks top ranked Offense didn't miss a beat. The signal caller, starting his second game of the season, threw for 253 yards on 23 of 27 passing and three touchdowns, to go along with 28 rushing yards and an additional score. Wanket led his team to a 63-47 victory over the Knoxville Nighthawks.
In his two starts this season, Wanket has thrown for nearly 600 yards, and eight touchdowns. He also has four rushing scores on the season.
Wanket played quarterback at Central Connecticut for two seasons (2008, 2009) and helped the team to a pair of successful campaigns, including the program's only out-right Northeast Conference Championship in 2009.
Wanket completed 139-of-226 passes for 1,657 yards and 13 touchdowns during his career. He also accounted for 494 rushing yards and 2,151 yards of total offense for his career.

It's been a tough real estate market over the past few years, forcing hundreds of thousands of property owners into foreclosure. But that's also created some buying opportunities.
Now, Zillow is looking to make it a bit easier to find properties that have entered foreclosure or are about to. Today, it took the covers off a new real estate search offering, allowing any user of Zillow's site or iOS apps to track down 1.2 million pre-foreclosure and foreclosed properties across the country. (Correction: This post has been updated with the correct number of listings).
Typically, the homes are not listed for sale, and therefore can't be found through Multiple Listing Services. Zillow notes that foreclosures "have made up a large, yet invisible, part of the housing inventory" over the years.
"Zillow is taking information that was really only available to a select group – in this case, savvy investors – and making it more easily available to interested home buyers," said Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff in a press release. "What's more, bringing this information to light, and taking this inventory out of the shadows, can help bring these homes to market faster than ever before."
A Zillow spokeswoman said they are pulling the information on foreclosures from public records.
Findwell CEO Kevin Lisota, a real estate agent in Seattle, said the move into foreclosures is a big deal for Zillow.
"This is data that has up until this point been locked behind a paid subscription," said Lisota, noting that Zillow's move could take a bite out of companies such as RealtyTrac. Lisota added that it is a "Rich Barton moment," referring to the Zillow co-founder's mantra of making data free and accessible to the masses.
"They may put a few companies out of business with this move," said Lisota.
