Boomers, Gen X'ers and Gen Y'ers: Bridging Cultural and Communication Gaps
Having a staff comprised of Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers and Gen Y'ers can be a real challenge in the workplace. There are approximately 75-80 million Baby Boomers. Generation X is about half the size. Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation, is estimated to be about as large as the Boomer generation.
Each generation has its own preferred communication style, as well as distinct values and feedback needs. But, according to Dr. Paige Graham, a core faculty member at the University of the Rockies who has studied generational characteristics, "It's all about bridging the gaps, real and imagined, in communication styles, cultural habits and response needs."
"When conflicts arise in the workplace between members of different generations, the issues often center around communication styles, cultural practices, and approaches to problems, processes, risk and technology," she says.
"For example, when faced with a problem to solve or a task to accomplish, Boomers respond by marshalling a team and applying a process, while Generations X'ers and Y'ers are more apt to rely on data, technology and intuition."
Wide gaps in tech savvy and different approaches to technology can also lead to frustration, according to Graham. "Millennials eschew PowerPoint and email as archaic. They prefer to communicate via SMS (text) and social media and view these channels as integral to everything from networking to job searching to making consumption choices."
In addition to favoring different communication tools, the younger generations tend to communicate in more casual, cryptic ways than their elders, using sentence fragments, phonetic spellings, and alternative constructions that are adapted to the constraints and structure of technologies like texting. "This can lead to misunderstandings, misinterpretations and even total communication breakdown," Graham says.
However, Graham's research reveals more similarities than differences among the three generational cohorts. "Everyone wants respect; you just have to discover how different people define it," she says. She offers these tips to managers, supervisors and co-workers:
She notes that there is little research to suggest that the various generations have different work ethics. "I often times hear one generation complain about another, I then ask a person in the generation that is being complained about if it is true. I've never heard anyone agree.
"Think about the individual person as opposed to 'them.' Try not to generalize the entire group. Consideration of individual needs, emphasizing commonality and not differences, makes for a better workplace.
"Everyone wants recognition for the work they do, access to the resources they need, and feedback that is delivered in an appropriate way. We all want to know how we are doing and how we can do better."
Bridging the Gap: It is important for managers of cross-generational workforces and multi-generational teams to understand the needs and customs of each generation. "When Boomers, Gen X'ers and Gen Y'ers function cohesively as a group, they bring together a terrific combination of skills, experience, depth of knowledge and curiosity."
After the Boomers Retire: Currently Boomers occupy the majority of leadership and management positions. As the Me Generation retires and leaves the workforce, a lot of organizational knowledge, experience and leadership will be lost. Many companies are already grappling with this issue using technology, modified organizational structures, and innovative mentoring and training programs to prepare for the inevitable shift that is coming.

I've previously reviewed this lipstick a while ago, but the photos weren't very useful, so thought I'd review it again with more useful and accurate photos. This is my favourite red lipstick that I've tried so far, plus it's from my current favourite brand, Illamasqua.
Illamasqua Lipstick in Encounter is a perfect shade for a vintage look, it's a classic matte red. Apologies for my sticky finger prints on the tube, but unfortunately, the downside of this product is that the packaging is very prone to marking, I've had this lipstick for about six months, so that's what it looks like now.
As you can see this Illamasqua lipstick is a strong, warm red with a matte finish. It has a slight orange undertone. The lipstick is so strongly pigmented and such a strong matte finish that you really can't apply straight from the tube, as it tugs and does not glide on as you'd usually expect from a lipstick. This doesn't bother me though, as with such a strong colour you are better applying with a brush so a precise finish.
I love how this lipstick looks with my skin tone, I think all pale girls should wear red lipstick as much as possible, it look amazing. Apologies for the not so accurate lipstick application, photos were taken at night, when I didn't have much patience for lipstick application. I love the colour of Illamasqua Encounter lipstick and the best thing is that it lasts for ages. It is quite a dry feeling lipstick, but I think that is expected from such a strong pigment. The way lipsticks aren't drying is that they feature a moisturising agent, you couldn't have a truly matte lipstick with a moisturiser in I don't think.
For those who are interested, my foundation is Youngblood Loose Mineral Foundation in Pearl, Youngblood Peony Pressed Blush, Youngblood Mineral Lengthening Mascara in Blackout and Cargo Boogie Nights Eye Pencil in Blue.

How much will a TRS assessment cost?
Information on the fees for the TRS is available on the Fees page for the TRS and in the TRS Applicant Guidelines
How can I find an RTO to conduct my TRS skills assessment?
Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) has approved a number of RTOs to conduct TRS skills assessments around Australia. Please see the RTO Finder to identify the RTOs available and obtain their contact details.
How long will it take to process my skills assessment?
The RTO you select to conduct your skills assessment will advise you how long the process will take. Typically, an assessment may be completed within 13 weeks from the date you submit the required documentary evidence to the RTO.
Further information on the process for the TRS is available in the applicant guidelines available on the TRA Website
How do I obtain an occupational licence in Australia?
Australia has strict safety standards and licensing requirements for licensed occupations. While TRA is responsible for assessing the skills of migrants to ensure they have the skills required to operate in their occupation in Australia, occupational licensing is the responsibility of the licensing authority in the relevant state or territory. Often the requirements for licensing include a period of employment experience, and obtaining Australian-specific knowledge of the relevant occupation within the Australian environment.
If you receive a successful skills assessment for a licensed occupation from a TRA-approved RTO you will be issued an Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR). The OTSR recognises your technical skills, but also acknowledges that you have yet to apply your skills in the Australian environment.
An OTSR allows you to apply for a provisional licence from an Australian state or territory licensing regulator upon arrival in Australia. This is subject to meeting all other non-skill requirements. An OTSR enables you to work under supervision while you address any Australian-specific knowledge and gaps in your employment experience.
Please visit the Licensing page for further information.
My occupation is not on the TRS occupation list. How can I have my skills assessed?
If your occupation is not listed you may wish to apply for the Offshore Skills Assessment Program (OSAP). The OSAP is for applicants from nominated countries and occupations who are applying for a permanent skilled migration visa. It is also available for applicants who would like a skills assessment in an OSAP nominated occupation to access occupational licensing and/or for employability. If you choose this option, you must be able to travel to Australia or an OSAP nominated country for a skills assessment. The list of OSAP nominated occupations is available on the OSAP program page.
If your occupation is not on the list for OSAP, you may wish to approach an RTO to discuss their training and assessment options. RTOs will discuss the availability and cost of gaining recognition in your trade. RTOs will also be able to discuss any skills gaps you may have and how they can be addressed by further training and/or experience. RTOs can be located via www.myskills.gov.au.

I tried everything and went back to the standard apps
Why had discount programs that are already installed on the iPhone. And how to upgrade their capabilities in a few clicks.
Presentations Apple regularly boasts about the number of apps in the App Store. Meanwhile, all the experienced users have long understood — hundreds of thousands of downloaded programs is useless, and the percentage is really high quality software small. Offhand, attention is given approximately 1/100 part of the total that is created by the developers.
If you do not be afraid to purchase apps at some point find themselves in an unenviable position. All just bored: it is possible to try all know, all email clients, all gametocyte or task managers. Disappears natural interest and a special buzz from the use of technology.
Fortunately, to solve this problem is also quite simple — you need to remove third-party programs from your smartphone/tablet. I tried it with all the software, which has a replacement in the form of standard, pre-installed software, and was pleasantly surprised. Tell us why everyone should do so.
Constraints are useful
To argue here is useless — functionality, for example, the standard "Notes" or "Reminders" of the inferior solutions from third-party developers. In the end, I go: more demanding users find specific software, and all the rest use the fact that and no need to install.
But this truth has another side to it. The restrictions imposed after the return to the origins (that is, remove all third-party apps), actually useful. They are forced to optimize their work.
For example, knowing about the lack of convenient sorting by tags, I more accurately take notes — they are neatly organized in folders and the most important overhead.
Taking only a standard camera instead of a Halide or Lightroom, get rid of the habit to rely on broad capabilities for editing RAW files. I began to spend more time setting the exposure when shooting, not post processing.
Using a combination of a "Calendar" and "Reminders" is crammed with features, task managers, became more rational division of labour: all events can now be added via Siri.
The less apps, the better they learn
One of the main concerns about using the pre-installed software was boredom. So if you are tired of complicated and well-thought options, simple programs are also bored on the first day. The opposite was true — the limitation spurred to dig deeper.
For example, I got to the bottom of the application Workflow Automator action that allows you to chain together multiple programs. You say that it is cheating — app to outside. So, hardly: Workflow recently belonged to Apple and acts only as a link between the different elements, so the rules of the game, I hardly broke.
I will not continue to talk about its capabilities, as the description is not enough for a dozen pages. Move to specific examples that save me daily.
Launcher for notes
Moving text on iPhone and iPad in Notes, I created a few notes, to which we return several times a day. I will not hide — this is a list of ideas and topics. They can be used for future materials, cut, or ponder.
Was to save precious clicks and time, is to use a Workflow. The scheme is as follows: create a note, click on the icon collaboration, choose from all the options for sharing and sending links. In the enter the number or mail write your contact details (mobile/address iCloud).
In the upper right corner you'll see the option "Copy link". Here that is all. Then open the Workflow, create a new combination (option Normal), go to the tab Actions. Looking for the item Text, you hold him — he is transferred to a "recipe" of your mini-program. Edit a field for input, inserting there the copied link to access the note. Then add another action — Open URLs with Safari icon. Then save, called the combination at will, go to settings, choose Today Widget and check the box of your creations. So the combo will appear in the widget.
You can now enjoy the wonders of automation: clicking on the icon, you will open the target note. All only at first sight seems slow. In fact, such schemes can be cook in just a minute.
The route to the place of the next meeting
Since then, as I began to actively use a regular Calendar as a planning tool and task management, the app fails. But it turned out that it can be advantageous to combine with the cards and with a large number of meetings around the city is really convenient.
Not going to go through the whole sequence of creating this "recipe." Gonna get to the point: Workflow allows you to add a widget upcoming appointments, clicking on which will automatically open the maps to show the route to the destination. It is outrageously comfortable and disciplinarum when planning an event, I don't forget to consider location.
To use the hack, simply open this link from your iPhone and iPad — the Workflow will use it automatically. Will just have to add "recipe" to the library and choose a mapping application (the standard Map or Google Maps).
Widget instead of the RSS
Yes, without the beloved RSS reader, too, can do. This method is not all — a lot of sources here just will not add. But it shows again how diverse you can replace all unnecessary applications.
So the Workflow does the following — puts the app in the widget list (you can configure), which tightens the headlines of the latest articles. Click on the interested in and go to the browser to read. Add "recipe" by simply clicking on the link.
The experiments do not go unnoticed
I won't lie — my experiment using only standard apps did not last long. I was messing around with them for a few weeks, and then I began to add to the Arsenal of third-party solutions. But did it much better knowing what is useful to me. Training in the limited capacity helps to set priorities, notice what functions are really missing and which are just wasting your time without much benefit.
The situation, in the end, was on all sides a win-win: for iPhone oslobodioci place for media, productivity is increased, and the list of possible hacking (through Workflow) expanded almost infinitely. So, this is the venture to everyone — to see what is duplicated by third-party software and a little to live without him.

"I have nothing in common with these kids."
Javier Jimenez was certain of this as he sat in a math class at GRCC.
Most of them seemed younger than him, and he was sure that they didn't come from the same background.
Jimenez enrolled at GRCC because he knew that he needed an education if he was going to persuade potential employers to look beyond his criminal record. He got involved with drugs as a fifth-grader and had joined a gang by age 13. He had survived overdosing on ecstasy and cocaine, arrests and self-destructive behavior.
"By the time I was 18, I was basically a career criminal," Jimenez said. "Throughout my adult life, I struggled with drug addiction, paranoia, gang violence, depression, anxiety and legal issues."
At age 24, he decided that he needed to change: "I came to GRCC because as a felon, I realized that without an education, I was going to struggle to build a better future for myself. My goals were to basically pass my classes and get into a job where my background wouldn't hinder my success."
But Jimenez's college career got off to a rough start.
"I was studying and still getting Cs in math," he said. "It was frustrating and discouraging. I remember sitting in class and thinking about how I had nothing in common with the kids surrounding me. I felt so out of place, I started second-guessing my decision to stay in school."
He had a heart-to-heart talk with Dr. Andre Fields, associate professor and counselor.
"He told me that I didn't have a choice but to succeed in school — and to reach out for help if I needed it," Jimenez said.
In classes where he struggled, Jimenez persuaded fellow students to form study groups, which he often hosted in his home. They formed a plan to review material and didn't move on until everyone was comfortable with the information. He also took advantage of the tutoring GRCC offers.
"I never liked going for tutoring because since I was a kid, I felt it was only for unintelligent people," he said. "But by the second semester, I was taking full advantage of tutors in the English and math labs. Getting tutored doesn't mean you're stupid. The stupid thing is to struggle and not ask for help or give up."
And it turns out that Jimenez did have things in common with his classmates. He joined GRCC's Honors Program, the Phi Theta Kappa honor society and the Alpha Beta Omega leadership development program. The events he attended through ABO connected him to the bigger community.
"I was surprised when I started getting straight As and became part of the Honors Program," he said. "Classes that I used to struggle with had become my favorites. I developed skills that allowed me to help others."
Jimenez said he's channeled that determination into other parts of his life: "I think out of all my new qualities, my ability to stay positive and work hard to meet my goals are the things I like best about the new me. I have taken on a new identity as a hard worker and a good student. I left behind that gangster identity that I held onto for so long."
He's been surprised by the support he's received at GRCC, including a scholarship through the GRCC Foundation.
"Receiving a scholarship has been a tremendous help," he said. "While going to school, I can't work as many hours as I normally would, so I'm more often living paycheck to paycheck and usually stressing as to how I'm going to make it through the week. It also motivates me to know that I have people rooting for me enough to invest in my education, even though they aren't directly benefiting from it."
Jimenez works as an automation and mold technician at Swoboda Inc. He's in a mechatronics program through his job that counts toward the bachelor's degree in engineering that he wants to pursue at Ferris State University. Eventually, he would like to work for the aerospace or energy industries.
"GRCC gave me a boost of confidence and showed me I could do anything I set my mind to," Jimenez said. "My student experience at GRCC has definitely helped me grow as a man."

We have done some serious moving and shaking this week. Hence the lag in blogging. Plus, I haven't been staying up late blogging. I had dreams of doing it in the morning when I get up before the girls, but it appears I am more inspired (and with it) at night. I'll work it out though.
Anyway, here's what we've been up to. This beautiful weather has been such a nice change. It's still getting hot, but not miserable. Now if only the mosquitos would take a hike.
The big news of the week is that Lila is riding her big bike! Mom and Sara got Lila a bike with training wheels for her birthday. It's probably a size up from what she should be riding. However, her super long legs and rate of growth really didn't justify getting the littler bike only to get the next size sooner than later. Since May the bike has been in our car port. She would randomly get on it, freak out, and not touch it for weeks. Then my brilliant neighbor mentioned maybe lowering the training wheels to curb the wobble. I guess I thought all along that they were as low as they would go. Yesterday it became clear they were not. I lowered them, she got on, and proceeded to spend hours riding almost immediately. While I am proud I can't say that I didn't tear up when she really got going and screamed about how good she was at riding a bike.
Alright, sorry for the video heavy post. Enjoy!
This is the cutest thing that's ever happened. Really, I mean EVER.
This is my $1 garage sale find. We need to work on the logistics of a puppet show, but for now it's a good laugh!
Speaking of a good laugh...this is hysterical to me! Evie riding an "ATV" like a champ...
And here's the amazing bike riding. YAY LILA!!!
I'm off to the lake this weekend folks. YAY MOMMY! Ya'll have a good one ;-)

You'd have to have been living under a rock to have missed mum Candace Payne's incredible viral video last week.
The hilarious clip, showing her trying on a Chewbacca mask and roaring with laughter in her car, racked up millions of hits and she's now appeared on James Corden's Late Late Show.
In an alternative Carpool Karaoke clip , she drove the TV host to work at the CBS studios in Los Angeles and was even joined by Star Wars director J. J. Abrams.
Read more:
James wasn't his jolly self at first and was in a grumpy mood until he tried on the mask and actually realised how brilliant it is. All three of them put one on and ended up in hysterics.
Candace also appeared in front of the live studio audience (minus the mask) to chat about getting a message from the actual Chewbacca, Peter Mayhew, who set up a private meet and great. Pretty impressive stuff.
During her interview, James told her: "Thanks for being here, this has been quite the weekend for you. How does this feel, crushing all of these records? 140million views in three days. It's crazy!"
She revealed she was excited at 1,000 and then it was a million when she went to bed and admitted she was "freaking out."
"I'm a stay at home mum," she said." I only had a few minutes before I had to go and get my kids from school.
"I wanted to prove to all of my Facebook friends and family that that mask was mine. I knew the moment they [my kids] saw it they'd try and take it. I love you little kids, but this isn't for you."
Read more:
Talking about the amazing hits it clocked up, she previously told the BBC: "That's just crazy. I'm just laughing - in all honesty, that is ridiculous. I've looked at the number of views and it just seems like someone is just playing with a calculator.
"I could see myself in the camera, and I saw this view and I could not stop laughing at how gleeful Chewbacca looked. I thought 'Chewbacca's found his joy!"

Do TD Ameritrade's solid earnings Thursday mean the online brokerage trade is back?
TD Ameritrade CEO Joe Moglia said on Thursday's show that his company was able to increase profits because of healthy risk-reward and also because it's starting to see the benefits of its new asset gathering strategy. Also, he noted, even with the market turmoil, the retail investor is still actively engaged, which is the ultimate bottom line for any online brokerage.
As E*TRADE faltered, Moglia said his company was never in trouble because it didn't take the risks its competitor did. He said AMTD actively avoided making some of the mistakes of ETFC and was able to keep its head above water when many thought the ETFC fiasco would cascade to the rest of the online brokerage industry. Moglia also said that almost all of customers AMTD gained from ETFC's loss were accounted for by the end of January, so it would be unlikely for that increased client base to be a boon in coming quarters. So far, AMTD is up 14% in the past year while ETFC is down 84%.

There are a lot of folks out there thinking of abandoning Bush. I have considered it. I have weighed the alternatives. Without more than a simple outline, below is my thinking.
Why I Am Fed Up With Bush
He is spending money like a socialist.
Farm Bill
NEA Increase
Proposed Energy Bill
His amnesty plan that he won't call an amnesty plan is extremely flawed. Whether he is sincere in his beliefs about it, or is trying to capture the hispanic vote, as it is proposed it is a bad idea.
He acts like he takes conservatives for granted. Conservatives are to the GOP what black voters are to the Democrats.
Why I'll Still Actively Support and Vote for Bush
Democrats think the war on terror is a police/law and order issue.
Bush understands that it is a real war.
Bush is not afraid to act unilaterally and/or disrupt old alliances if our national interests so demand.
Bush recognizes evil as evil and is not afraid to call it by name.
He is a man of faith and his faith centered life guides him with a steady hand.
Bush understands that business is not the enemy of the people; it is the fountain of most national wealth and the hand that more often than not lifts people from poverty through empowerment in the free marketplace.
His judicial nominees are true conservatives.
Bush does what he says and shoots straight, whether or not I like it.
He fills government with conservatives, even though he fails to act like one sometimes.
Bush can be trusted.
Now is too important to not vote or waste my vote in a protest. The winner will either be a Democrat or a Republican. I'd rather a Republican than a Democrat. Republicans will not surrend and call it multilateral cooperation.
Well, those are my thoughts. Do with them what you will.

Claiming lawyers representing Dontrell Stephens improperly played the race card to win a $22.4 million verdict against the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and Deputy Adams Lin, sheriff's attorneys on Monday will ask a federal magistrate to reduce the award.
Throughout the trial that ended in February, Stephens's lawyers repeatedly implied that the 2013 shooting that left the 22-year-old West Palm Beach man paralyzed from the waist down was racially motivated, sheriff's attorneys Summer Barranco and Richard Giuffreda contend in court papers.
Stephens' attorneys made reference to the "Black Lives Matter" movement, which grew in response to police shootings of black men throughout the nation, Barranco wrote.
"It was clear that (Stephens') counsel wanted the jury to see this case as another one of those egregious cases they had seen in the media where a cop shot an unarmed young black man for no good reason," she wrote.
The racial overtones inflamed the jury, spurring them to act on passion and prejudice rather than reason, she claims.
Further, she wrote, while Stephens may be paralyzed, he is not bed-ridden nor does he require round-the-clock nursing care.
"The testimony in this case showed … he was actually able to do quite a lot for himself," Barranco wrote, pointing out that he can transfer himself from a bed to a wheelchair and can wheel himself around without assistance.
Attorney Jack Scarola, who represents Stephens, scoffed at Barranco's attempt to put what he called "a positive spin" on Stephens' injuries. "The cold harsh reality is that a healthy, active 20-year-old man was sentenced to over half a century in a wheelchair, unable to move from the waist down," he wrote.
Lin shot Stephens seconds after stopping him for riding his bicycle erratically in morning rush-hour traffic on Haverhill Road. The shooting was captured on a video camera on Lin's dashboard.
In closing arguments, Scarola told jurors that "Dontrell Stephens' life mattered." If Barranco or Giuffreda didn't like it, they should have objected at the time, he wrote.
The verdict was rendered by a "intelligent, attentive and diligent jury that was fully qualified to assess the damages sustained by Dontrell Stephens," he wrote. Contrary to Barranco's assertions, he insisted they weren't driven by passion or prejudice but powerful facts.
The hearing before U.S. Magistrate Barry Seltzer is to begin at 2 p.m.

A consulting firm almost entirely composed of former staffers of President Obama's re-election campaign has been hired to run an election effort in Israel aimed at defeating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The conservative blogosphere is reporting Jeremy Bird, national field director for Obama's 2012 campaign, is now working for a new non-profit group, V15, that is running an effort to defeat Netanyahu in the upcoming election.
A closer look at Bird's consulting firm as well as its working relationship with the Israeli groups finds he is just one of scores of former senior Obama election campaign staffers now working on the anti-Netanyahu effort.

I love Thanksgiving as much as the next person, but truth be told, if I had to list my favorite things about the holiday, pumpkin pie wouldn't even make it into my top ten. Now that I think about it, that list would consist of hardly any food items, but rather things like going to see the new blockbuster movie with a group of twenty cousins after the meal, getting up early for the parade the next morning, or the fact that thanks to this holiday, my late November birthday hardly ever falls on a work day (because we all know the Wednesday before Thanksgiving should not be considered a work day). And even in terms of food items, as much as I have a sweet tooth, I'm not really a pie person. Couple that with the fact that by the time dessert rolls around on Thanksgiving day, I've already consumed so much
wine and chex mix turkey and mashed potatoes that I really can't even bear the thought of one more bite, and somehow pumpkin pie never sounds that good. I know I've spent a lot of time over the past two months going on and on about my love for pumpkin, but for whatever reason it's never really translated to the most quintessential of all pumpkin desserts – until now.
Technically, this isn't my first pumpkin pie. I made one once when I was little, although I'm sure it was the recipe on the back of the Libby's can with a frozen store-bought crust. The details are hazy, but something went wrong and my mom threw it away. And I really haven't had the urge to try again, until this year. My aunt is hosting Thanksgiving for about 45 of us, so she sent out an email asking people to bring certain items, and for some reason I decided to sign up for pumpkin pie on a whim (along with sweet potatoes, which I think I'm going to try to do three ways – am I crazy?). Despite the advice of many to just stick with the Libby's recipe, I found this variation when I went to do a trial run for a "Practice Thanksgiving"/"Friends Thanksgiving" last weekend, and I'm so glad I did. It's a little more work than your basic pumpkin pie recipe, but if you're in the mood to branch out this year I think this pie is worth it.
To make homemade pie crust, or to buy store-bought? People feel pretty strongly about this, one way or the other. Obviously the true food-blogger answer (even the true wannabe-food-blogger answer) should be homemade, but to tell you the truth, I've had some pretty delicious pre-made frozen pie crusts (you can buy really high quality French ones now, although my grandma has lived her whole life using Marie Callender's and I don't think anyone has complained). Having said that, it only takes one "did you make this crust from scratch" inquiry to make you feel like it's worth the extra effort to do it yourself. I thought this crust looked perfect going into the oven, but somehow one half baked up perfectly while the other kind of shrunk – broke my heart, but it still tasted delicious.
Cooking the pumpkin-and-yam-mixture on the stove really adds a depth of flavor to the pie. You can mash the sweet potatoes as you cook them (as the recipe suggests), or just puree the mixture with an immersion blender when you're finished cooking it, as I did. Another note that I'll add here, for lack of a better place to put it: it seems one of Cook's Illustrated's goals in tweaking this recipe was to make a pie that wasn't overly spiced. While I can appreciate that, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg seemed almost under-spiced to me, so I doubled both amounts (and list the range in the recipe). I also added a tiny pinch of cloves. I thought my pie turned out perfectly, but you could definitely go with the lesser amounts if that sounds good to you. I also used ground ginger, as Deb suggests, mainly just to save myself the hassle.
The straining step was kind of a pain, and I'm not sure it was necessary (especially since I used the immersion blender), but I will say the custard was incredibly smooth and creamy. We'll see if I do it again next week.
I had read in the comments to Deb's post that the pie takes a lot longer to cook through than the recipe suggests, so I was prepared for it to take longer than the 30-45 minutes listed. Mine took well over an hour though – probably closer to an hour and a half – so I was glad I had the temperature instruction as well. And leftover pie dough to cut into tiny pumpkins and leaves to cover the hole that my candy thermometer made in the middle of my pie.
Pumpkin Pie, from Cook's Illustrated by way of Smitten Kitchen
A half recipe of your favorite pie crust, chilled (Deb recommends hers, here; I also like Melissa Clark's, here or here – or you can always buy one, I won't tell).
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
1 cup drained candied yams, from a 15-ounce can
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger (or 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger, which is what I used)
1/2-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I used 1 teaspoon)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (I used 1/2 teaspoon)
Pinch of cloves, optional
1 teaspoon table salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
To prepare the crust:
Roll out your dough on a generously floured work surface to make a 12″ circle about 1/8″ thick. Roll dough loosely around your rolling pin and unroll into your pie plate, leaving at least a 1″ overhang all around the pie plate.
Working around the circumference, ease the dough into the pie plate by gently lifting the edge of the dough with one hand while pressing into the plate bottom with other hand. Refrigerate 15 minutes. Trim the overhang to 1/2″ beyond the lip of the pie plate. Fold overhang under itself; the edge should be flush with the edge of the pie plate. Using your thumb and forefinger, flute the edge of the dough (or finish it however you like, with fork tongs or otherwise). Refrigerate the dough-lined pie plate until firm, about 15 more minutes.
To par-bake the crust:
Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and line it with greased foil and pie weights (or old dried beans). Bake on a rimmed baking sheet for 15 minutes; remove the foil and weights, rotate plate, and bake for 5-10 more minutes, until crust is golden brown and crisp. Remove the crust and baking sheet from the oven.
To make the filling:
While the pie shell is baking, whisk cream, milk, eggs, yolks, and vanilla together in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine pumpkin, yams, sugar, maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves (if using), and salt; bring to a sputtering simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Continue to simmer, constantly stirring and mashing the yams against the side of the pot, until thick and shiny, 10-15 minutes (I didn't worry too much about mashing the yams, as I used my immersion blender at the end).
Remove pan from heat (and use your immersion blender here if you want to – or put the mixture in a food processor or blender – or skip this step entirely). Whisk the cream mixture in slowly, until fully incorporated. Strain mixture through a fine (or medium) mesh strainer and re-whisk.
To bake the pie:
Pour the warm filling into the warm crust. Return the pie, on baking sheet, to oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 300 degrees and continue baking until edges are set (and instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 175 degrees), about 20-35 more minutes. NOTE: in my oven, this took over an hour past the 10 minutes at 400. In many of the comments to Smitten Kitchen's blog post, people complained that it took a lot longer to set, or that it never set. When I make this pie again next week, I'll only turn my oven down to 350 rather than 300, and still budget about an hour of baking time. A thermometer is helpful to gauge when it's done so that you don't worry that you're over-cooking it, but if you don't have one, you'll be able to tell it's done when the center of the pie looks almost set and not too jiggly.
Once the pie is finished baking, transfer it to a wire rack and let it cool to room temperature, 2 to 3 hours. The pie will finish cooking with the resident heat; to ensure the filling sets properly, cool it at room temperature and not in the refrigerator. You can serve the pie warm, cold, or at room temperature, but I've realized I like pumpkin pie a lot better when it's chilled. Top with lightly sweetened whip cream, cinnamon, and maybe a mini pie-dough cookie. Or if you'd rather, just stick your pie on the dessert table and head out to the late showing of Catching Fire. Something tells me it would make a pretty amazing pre-parade (or pre-shopping) breakfast on Friday morning as well – if there's any left.

I come from a family of artists and have been encouraged from a young age to explore my creativity through several different artistic disciplines including ballet and sculpture.
My knowledge in dance and sculpture and my eagerness to continue to grow and expand as an artist has blossomed into my creating jewelry. I strive to design jewelry that is as unique as the individual wearing it.
Each piece is hand-forged using sterling and fine silver, steel and semi-precious stones which I personally select. All of my pieces are one-of-a-kind expressive art in which I create as I go.

The National Institutes of Health, in collaboration with several other agencies, has announced funding and grant opportunities in the area of cyber-physical systems (CPS), a new generation of embedded systems with integrated computational and physical capabilities.
In health care, for instance, CPS is producing opportunities for intelligent operating rooms and hospitals, image guided surgery and therapy as well as the development of physical and neural prostheses that allow brain signals to control physical objects. Elsewhere researchers are exploring the uses of CPS for applications ranging from autonomous urban driving to next generation airplanes and space vehicles.
''The ability to interact with and expand the capabilities of the physical world through computation, communication and control is a key enabler for future technology developments," according IEEE paper on the technology.
Agencies participating in the CPS grants include the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, the Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration and its Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office, NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate and several NIH institutes and centers.
NIH said it is investigating ways CPS technology can mitigate errors in intensive care units, exploring development of CPS for artificial organs as well as developing hospitalwide applications to decrease fragmentation and conserve costs by tracking medical assets .
The goal of the CPS funding program is to develop, "the core system science needed to engineer complex cyber-physical systems upon which people can depend with high confidence," the agency said.
The program also aims to foster a research community committed to advancing research and education in CPS and transitioning CPS science and technology into engineering practices.
NIH said advances in sensors, wearable devices and patient-facing technologies hold great promise in improving healthcare. Less is known, it said, about how advances in CPS can integrate these technologies and interfaces to increase patient engagement and activation.
"CPS technology will transform the way people interact with engineered systems – just as the Internet has transformed the way people interact with information," the NIH said in announcing its grants.
NIH said one avenue of transformation could be development of personalized patient-care systems tightly knit with other non-medical CPS systems.
"Such a closed-loop environment could enable optimal and timely delivery of healthcare improvements at a significant cost reduction," said NIH. "It is envisioned that such systems will also generate a significant amount of data, and technologies for analyzing these data on-the-fly will need to be developed."
Other research areas – and funding targets – for medical CPS research and technology development might include:
NIH advised grant applicants to describe how the ideas being proposed will address healthcare needs of the end user, including healthy individuals, patient populations with specific targeted diseases, persons with disability and or health disparity populations.

When it comes to game meat, venison medallions are pretty high up on the most-delicious list. It is a lean and tender cut from the back of a deer. With hardly any fat to protect it from the heat, it is best served at medium rare temperature. That means simple preparation and being super careful not to overcook.
Heavy long marinades are not needed, and may be a thing of the past once you try this venison backstrap recipe. We like to pan-sear this gourmet treat in a cast iron pan, although you can use any heavy bottomed pan. This versatile dish can be made in your kitchen using the stove top, or outdoors on the grill (we used a Big Green Egg®) to introduce a gentle smoke flavor to the meat.
- 1-2 lbs venison backstrap (loin) cut into medallions approximately 1" thick
- 1 Tbsp (or enough to coat) Dizzy Pig Game On! game seasoning
- 2 small onions, halved and sliced
- 8 oz cremini (baby bella) mushrooms, or other small mushroom quartered
- 1/4 cup cognac (can use bourbon instead)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp oil for cooking
- Season venison with an even coating of Game On! seasoning
- Place the seasoned medallions in the freezer for 15 minutes, especially if the medallions are cut thinner than 1". This helps to prevent overcooking
- Add a tablespoon of oil to the pan over medium heat. If you're using a cast iron pan, heat the pan first before adding the oil
- Once the oil is heated, add onions to the pan and season lightly with Game On! seasoning
- Gently cook for 15-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from pan and reserve
- Heat pan to medium high or high. I went with 400°F+ with a cast iron pan on the Big Green Egg for this cook
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan
- Sear venison quickly on each side until well browned, preferably less than 2 minutes per side. You'll want a hot pan since you do not want to overcook. Remove from pan when browned but still rare (115-120°F internal temperature). The temperature will continue to rise during the rest, and you do not want to go above 135°F with good venison.
- Reduce heat to medium
- Add mushrooms to pan and cook for a few minutes until they begin to brown
- Add cognac to pan and reduce by half (careful if it ignites)
- Once alcohol is cooked off, whisk in heavy cream, and continue to stir until the sauce thickens to desired consistency
- Add venison medallions and caramelized onions to the sauce briefly, and remove from heat
- Slice the venison and serve immediately

The Senate voted 99-1 on Tuesday to confirm John Carlin as assistant attorney general for national security, a job that has been vacant for more than a year.
The time it took to fill the post illustrates how, with a slow-moving bureaucracy in the White House and partisan bickering that occupies the Senate, even noncontroversial nominees for national security jobs can take a while.
Carlin has led the office since Lisa Monaco left in March 2013 to become President Barack Obama's top counterterrorism adviser. President Obama nominated Carlin in September.
The job in the past year has been dominated by controversies over government surveillance in the wake of leaks by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. Carlin's office provides legal oversight of the NSA's surveillance activities and represents the government before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Attorney General Eric Holder said of Carlin: "Throughout his tenure, he has repeatedly demonstrated the skill, foresight and vision that this position demands. I am confident that under his leadership, the National Security Division will continue to strengthen and advance its critical mission to safeguard the American people and protect this nation."

" E-mail show White House planned Benghazi video deception" by Daily Caller but they don't show us the actual e-mail and why not ? Does Hillary Clinton have a copy of this new e-mail released and the Daily Caller has her pictured under their write up concerning. The article gives the names this e-mail went to and Hillary Clinton's name isn't on that list.What kind of strategic communications is going on and looks like they'd send the e-mail to the Secretary of State. God Bless America !
Get the new Benghazi e-mail and post it so We The People can read it. Where is it and there are many reports on this new Benghazi e-mail but can't find it to read myself. Has anyone sent it to Hillary Clinton for her to read ? I hope she gets on the news and reads it to the American people with a response !
Judicial Watch v U.S. Dept of State No. 1:13 – cv 00951...... Good job to the Judicial Watch folks and Obama and Hillary Clinton report to the American people please. You work for the people and we pay your salary and you need to answer more questions on Benghazi. Jay Carney if they don't let you tell the truth ,just resign and go find yourself an honest job in America.
Who is Ben Rhodes and don't appreciate his strategic communications as it relates to Benghazi ! Senior White House staff were directly involved in coordinating the messaging in response to the Benghazi attacks and were actively working to tie the reason to the infamous internet video. Freedom of Information Act still working in USA ! When is Obama questioned under oath concerning ? Sept. 14 2012 e-mail from White House aide Ben Rhodes ? God Bless the deceased families and thank-you for your service to our country.

And don't forget the GOP all time favorites........TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH!!!..........and........GET RID OF SS AND MEDICARE!!!
The GOP. seems to have trouble getting enough votes! Why is that? Sounds fair enough to me. Soylent Green, haven't heard that one in awhile. Well 1984 will soon be here.

The Nike Air Max 1 is the most important sneaker in the Swoosh brand's history. As the first shoe to incorporate Nike's iconic Air technology, this trainer now represents the brand.
Originally releasing in 1987, Tinker Hatfield's design was ahead of its time and has become a street style staple. The sneaker's midsole of course features the brand's iconic visible Air Unit. 30 plus years on, this sneaker is still one of the most sought after designs from Nike's range.
Arriving in a variety of women's exclusive colourways, including the Air Max 1 Premium and SI, sneakerheads will be spoilt for choice with Nike's fashion-forward designs.
The Air Max 1 is also a favourite of megastars like Beyonce, who was spotted wearing an eye-catching gold pair recently. The hype for this legendary sneaker certainly isn't going anywhere.
If you're loving the Air Max 1, check out our list of women's exclusive styles below and stay tuned for news and updates on the latest releases.

Almost a year in the making, Black Star's Mos Def and Talib Kweli are finally set to release their "Hip-Hop For Respect" benefit maxi-single, featuring appearances from Rza, Common, Pras from the Fugees, De La Soul's Pos, Cappadonna, and EPMD's Parrish Smith, among others.Sessions for the single were held last April at Sony Music Studios in New York City (see "Common, De La Soul, Cappadonna Join Black Star For Anti-Brutality Track") when Mos Def and Talib Kweli asked some of their hip-hop friends to participate in taking a musical stance against police brutality. The rappers recorded four songs to protest the seemingly senseless killings of 19-year-old Tyesha Miller by authorities in Riverside, California in December 1998, and the slaying of 22-year-old Amadou Diallo by New York City police in February 1999. Outkast's production crew Organized Noize produced the "Hip-Hop For Respect" maxi-single, which will be
released on March 14. Proceeds from the single will be donated to the Hip-Hop For Respect Foundation, a non-profit group that seeks to educate youths on what to do when stopped by police officers.The video to "One For Love, Pt. 1," a new cut from Black Star, Common, Kool G Rap, Pos, Rah Digga, Pharoahe Monch, Sporty Thieves, and Shabaam Sahdeeq, will hit the airwaves on February 28. The announcement of the maxi-single's pending release comes at a rather critical juncture in the Diallo trial, as jurors in Albany, New York are expected to begin deliberating on the case sometime this week, possibly as early as Wednesday.

However the Yankees end up after the crucial weekend series against the Orioles, there's one thing that August has pretty much demonstrated: namely, that the Yankees — as they are now constituted — are not going to the World Series this year and probably will not even win the American League East.
This isn't to say that the return of some combination of Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixiera and Andy Pettitte can't turn things around, but the team the Yankees fielded against Toronto this week just isn't good enough.
Midway through Wednesday's frustrating 8-5 loss to the Blue Jays, Michael Kay said what everyone was thinking. "When you play teams like this" – i.e., the Blue Jays, or the Indians, who the Yankees played last weekend – "you are really expected to sweep, especially when you're playing at home." As the Yankees were against Toronto. "Nobody will say this out loud, because they don't want to get our opponents fired up, but you're in first place, you're in a pennant fight, a series like this is supposed to be a gift."
Instead, the series, particularly yesterday's game, has put everything wrong with the Yankees in bas-relief. In the field, the Yanks committed 3 errors, including flubs by Derek Jeter and Eric Chavez, the latter especially damaging as it came in the crucial 8th inning and helped give Toronto an insurance run.
Once again, and this is becoming numbingly familiar to Yankees fans, the stripers scored early and then took most of the rest of the afternoon off. How the Yankees can repeatedly score two runs in either the 1st or 2nd innings and then lose their concentration is a mystery that neither Joe Girardi, batting coach Kevin Long or anyone else has been able to figure out.
An even bigger mystery is how this batting order can repeatedly fail to blow games open with bases loaded and less than 2 outs. Earlier in the season, I said it was just a statistical fluke because I couldn't think of any other reason why this was happening, I still can't, but fluke or not, it doesn't seem like one that's going to turn itself around before the end of the season.
Perhaps the most disheartening thing was once again watching C.C. Sabathia look un-hittable in early innings and then all of a sudden run out of steam. It has become painfully obvious that he is not and probably never will be the big game ace the Yankees have always tried to see him as. Wednesday's game was absolutely crucial, but Sabathia, who whizzed through the first two innings on just 18 pitches with three strikeouts, nearly lost it all in the 3rd, giving up 5 hits and
surrendering the lead 3-2.
Then, in the 6th inning, Sabathia gave up a game-losing two-run homer to Yunel Escobar (who, by the way, among players whose first name begins with Y, is the 4th leading home run hitter in major league history, with 51). Sabathia was once a pitcher who could be depended on to get you into the 7th or even the 8th inning and save innings for the bullpen; now he's a gas-gulping bullpen drainer.
Actually, Sabathia's performance was the second most disheartening thing in the game. Even worse was he performance by Joba Chamberlain, who, despite all logic, was brought in by Girardi in the 9th to keep the game at 6-5, Toronto. Instead, Joba gave up a double to Escobar which made it 8-5 and then hit a batter.
I've been following Chamberlain's career since interviewing him for the Voice back in 2007, and I genuinely thought he was ready to bounce back and make a major contribution to the Yanks' pennant run this year. (He was 2-0 with a 2.83 ERA before going out last year with a major arm injury.)
But now, at age 26, he looks like a relic from Double-A ball who is working his way back into the bigs by learning to throw a knuckler. The old sinking fastball and hard breaking slider are gone. So, too, is the look of barrel-chested intimidation that he used to project. Yankee press information now lists him at 250 pounds, about 15-20 more than he carried a few years ago when Joe Torre and his staff couldn't seem to decide instituted "the Joba rules," limiting his work load while
paradoxically trying to decide whether they wanted him to be the greatest starter or greatest reliever of all time.
This year Joba's given up 16 hits and four walks in just 7.1 innings for a ridiculous 8.59 ERA. Why the Yankees still have him on the roster is another mystery, but one that they can no longer afford to try and solve as the Orioles come to the Bronx for the biggest series so far this season.

Title: The Brand of Anem
Author: Kaitlyn Deann
Genre: Dystopian/Romance
My Rating: 4.5/5 stars
A brand is a divine marking that results out of intimacy and is considered beautiful… unless you're unwedded.
Margaret James is the Duchess of Deneb and the daughter of the highest political figure in their city: Judge Mark James. She is expected to follow the rules without fail and to never, ever falter to her flesh. She has been pledged to the chief officer, William Lach. But there is one problem with this arrangement…
Margaret James shares a brand with Carson Owens.
Carson belongs to the infamous Owens family and to the Middle Class, which means it's impossible for him to marry the woman he loves. Despite the rules, the two of them bound themselves together as young teenagers, and now they will do everything in their power to hide the brand given to them by Anem, the goddess of souls. If caught, they will suffer dire consequences.
Getting caught is inevitable.
The first in a series of novellas to follow, The Brand of Anem is a wild ride from start to finish.
Described by the author as an afternoon read, this book, while short, packs a punch. Deann manages to fit a lot of information in a limited number of words, and the story flows in an easy, simple way. We're introduced to the characters and are immediately swept up in their lives and their forbidden love.
The Brand of Anem poses a lot of interesting questions about right and wrong, morality, sin and love. This will leave the reader with both a wonderful story and hopefully an engaged mind.
I found the world building fascinating and I'm excited to see the author develop on this in the next books. There was the obvious air of mystery regarding the Owens family and their history, and what lies in store for Carson and Margaret. The cliffhanger of this book was devestating and if I don't get the next installment soon, I'm gonna lose my mind. (Trying to remain professional but on the inside, I'm screaming and using lots of exclamation points. Take that however you'd like.)
Definitely can't wait to find out what happens next, and I highly recommend this special read!
