SNS-ers are potential employers who log on to social-networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace with the intention of ferreting out information that no student wants her future boss to see. Employers call it research, applicants call it "creeping."
Having just graduated from school, I'm going to catch you up to speed on what to keep in mind when you're SNS'ing your talent pool.
- Be proactive. If you consider Facebook or MySpace profiles when choosing interviewees, always do it before you call the applicant. College students are often short-sighted but they do know that you might check their profiles.
It's kind of like cleaning house -- many of us don't do it until we know company is coming. When you arrive it may look like we live between the covers of Good Housekeeping magazine, but you didn't see us throwing dirty dishes into the oven and junk mail under the litter box, did you? Many students won't clean up their profiles until they know someone is interested.
- Be realistic.
Just like a yellow light doesn't mean "stop," a photo of your applicant with a drink in hand does not necessarily signal "professional party girl" or "fraternity's best beer-bonger."
Ever heard the old adage "Work hard, play hard?" Many of the best college students take it literally, so don't make assumptions based on photos. Instead, look at the quality of the writing in the profile. Does it sound like the applicant has a personality? Does the quotes section include something a little bit deeper than "It's 5 o'clock somewhere"? Are the grammar and spelling correct?
It's probably important to you that an employee be well rounded and able to prioritize. Facebook profiles can actually be proof that your applicant was able to go to class, get good grades, rack up some experience and have fun all at the same time. Pretty impressive.
- Be a "best-date-ever" kind of date
In an earlier post, fellow blogger Sarah Ewing likened the employer/potential employee relationship to dating. My question for you: Would you confess to having looked up your potential mate online and then bombard her with questions about her past? If you would, then you're probably not going on many second dates.
With the ink still wet on her degree, the last thing an interviewee wants to do is explain away past actions. Use your SNS'ing as a way to weed out applicants before they come in, not to scare them away.

The Good Day 6x24
It's funny how just a little change like a unique sized canvas gets me excited about painting. I'll need to do more of these to keep the juices flowing. Speaking of unique sizes, get a load of this giant egg. How can a little yard hen put out such a monster? I have yet to crack it open to get at the secret contents but I'm guessing it has three yolks or maybe even an egg within an egg. I know it's not made of gold, already checked that, but the kids were talking about alchemy the other day. I'm still trying to figure out how to turn canvas into gold. I think that won't be discovered til after I'm dead. Meanwhile, here's another little beauty straight from my heart for your listening pleasure. It is for sale along with others on the bay...here

Meadowlark Song, Through The Glass 12x12's
I've been adding to the menagerie. Our latest acquisition is Libby. She is a chocolate colored 6 year old jenny. She is a sweet little burro and will ostensibly guard the other stock from marauding lions and coyotes. The chicken coop will be moved into the corral and maybe a couple of Barbados sheep too if I ever get around to it. You see, I have my priorities and now that I'm officially converting the swimming pool into an aquarium I need to get some fishies in there a.s.a.p. All these critters help settle my weary soul and the solace I find in watching caged animals lets me concentrate on painting. Actually, I let the chickens (and pigeons if they weren't all killed at the paw of said marauders) loose to forage around the yard...pretty much how I treat the kids. Hey, they're healthy and not one has ever been lost to a hawk or bobcat. These new paintings along with a slew of others are available for sale here.

Happy Spring...Snow!?!?
What's with the "travel" part in the blog title anyway? I am found most days chained to the easel in the little desert studio pining for scenes like the ones I paint. I suppose that's fitting and I did just get back from a short foray into old Mexico after all. Easter weekend saw us fighting off banditos and generally doing what we do south of the border...trying to stay out of trouble. That isn't always easy you know. Here's the dealio on third-world travel; People are friendly and the quaint and interesting aspects of a foreign land can be very entertaining and quite fun until...you get into trouble. Once you get in a jam all bets are off. A minor accident ends in an amputation, a seemingly insignificant run-in with the law lands you in jail or a short gun fight flattens your tires. This is where my imagination travels when I'm not actually in a strange land...I speak from experience! That said, most of the time we escape with our lives and lots more pictures for the easel. That was the case this time. However, I cannot guarantee that will be the outcome next time. Here's a link to my latest paintings for sale.

JoBlo Podcast Commentary: Scarface!
The Scarface Commentary!
Click above to LISTEN NOW!
JoBlo, Johnny Moreno and Jim Law sit down for three hours with a crap-load of booze, personal piles of cocaine, and their microphones to analyze one of the most celebrated gangster films of all time, SCARFACE. Join us as we laugh our asses off at the wardrobe, sit in awe of how little Michelle Pfeiffer actually does in this movie, and continuously warn Manny that he's going to get dead if he keeps tapping Tony's sister's ass. He doesn't listen. Moreno tells of life-changing moments within the film. JoBlo fills our heads with mind blowing trivia. Law giggles a lot and drinks two, sometimes, three beers at the same time. So much talent in this group!
We've opened up our phone lines to you, the listener, so we can hear all your questions, rants, thoughts, or outright insults for us on The JoBlo Movie Podcast. Give us a call at (347)408-0460 and leave us a voicemail that might end up being answered on the show by Moreno and me.
Three hours of Moreno trying not to recite every line in character!
Three hours of getting hot & bothered by Elvira!

Spetters further elaborates on the themes of sexual obsession previously probed in director Paul Verhoeven's Turkish Delight (1973). Hans Van Tongeren, Toon Agterberg and Maarten Spanjer play, respectively, Reen, Eve and Hans, a closely-knit group of teenage motorcycle lovers who idolize local cycling champion Witkamp (played by Rutger Hauer, the star of Delight). Unfortunately, the adolescents' attempts to rebel take a dark and brutal turn when Van Tongeren is permanently injured in a road accident and Agterberg is gang raped by a group of homosexuals. While the other two young men lust after Fientje (Renee Soutendjik), a promiscuous hashhouse waitress, Agterberg responds to the rape by coming out and taking Fientje's gay brother as a lover. Verhoeven is artistically and sexually graphic in juxtaposing "cycle love" with the friends' carnal interrelations. The title of Spetters is an indigenous triple-entendre -- it refers to the Dutch vernacular for "grease spatterings" (both the oily renderings left behind by the motorcycles commandeered by the film's central characters and the grease slung by Soutendjik), is a slang term for male ejaculate, and was frequently used in the seventies and eighties to refer to people who are sexually appealing ("That girl is a spetter.") ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

With our nation at a crossroads, there is a critical opportunity to rebuild our democracy from the ground up, to strengthen cities and states as the front line of defense against all forms of injustice and discrimination across workplaces and communities.
I'm inviting you to join the fight today with Public Rights Project.
Public Rights Project is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating the gap between the values expressed in our laws and the lived reality of our most vulnerable communities. We empower state and local prosecutors to protect the core rights and freedoms that define us as Americans by providing them with talent and resources to more proactively enforce their residents' legal rights.
The Fellowship
Talented attorneys across the country want a pathway into public service, and state and local law offices seek resources to better protect their residents. We connect the dots. We recruit and embed public interest-minded attorneys for two years in state and local public law offices where they act as force multipliers to enhance government's capacity to enforce residents' rights.
Research + Strategy
In a challenging legal landscape, we identify high-priority gaps in current enforcement and match them to the priorities and capabilities of our partner agencies. We seed innovative, successful strategies to enforce residents' civil, economic, and environmental rights. And, we secure pro bono and low-cost services to help our partner agencies get the resources they need to scale their work.
Public Rights Project is proud to have the support of the following partners:

Well, showing a nice increase over last round. At the end of Round 5, the score was 168. So that is an increase of 53 points, or 24%. Not bad, but not as good as increase round 4 to round 5. That was 29% ASimWen is slippin'! It is tough to remember to record all the acheivements on the spreadsheet. Who knows, I might have missed something.
It seems that the strategy I have been taking is go for all the hobby plaques and badges...then do the gardening, which I like to play the most in TS2. It is a relief to play Prosperity and not put tons of Sims in the neighborhood, and still get decent points.
Numbers of Sims
Last round the population was only 27. So and increase of 5....that is an increase of 16%. As long as that number does not outpace the Prosperity base point system I think everything will be OK! (And yes, I am counting dead Sims) If we are talking live Sims....Last round was 23, and this round 26. So an net increase of 3 is in order....or an 11% increase.
Swan Legacy
I am up to 2.5 on the score...but not sure I am doing the scoresheet right. *sigh*. At this point I think I would just be happy to finish 10 generations.
Anyway that is it! See you in Round7! Thank you so much for reading!
As always....FAMILY COMES FIRST.

"Life is not mechanical. Neither it should become a definition of living gadget"
Above is the nutshell description of Dr. Malleswari's novel "Software For Life".
This novel not only depicts the lifetime dilemmas of contemporary society but also suggests the ways and means to come out of those dilemmas. Dr. Malleswari drives a valid point home i.e. "Don't just lead a life but design it".
Dr. Kallury Syamala who is an established academician, having taught humanities at IIT, Delhi has done a wonderful job of translating the Telugu novel into English. The flow of English version is as smooth and understandable as that of the original.
We, now, are pleased to present you the eBook of "Software for Life."

Mumbai, Mar 30 (PTI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today told the Legislative Assembly that from May onwards, dry and wet garbage will be segregated and scientifically disposed in the state.
He also announced that from next year, dumping of wet and dry garbage together will not be allowed, and dry garbage will be used for generating power.
Fadnavis was speaking while replying to a debate on the issue of solid waste management in Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KDMC) limits.
"From May onwards, dry and wet garbage will be segregated and scientifically disposed. After the waste segregation work stabilises, work on treating dry and wet waste will be taken up," Fadnavis said.
"Compost is generated from wet garbage for fertiliser. All municipal corporations and councils can sell the compost generated by them under the brand name- Harit Maha Compost," he said.
"After December, dumping of wet and dry garbage together will not be allowed. Dry garbage will be used to generate electricity," he said.
The Chief Minister also said after the segregation of waste is done, the issue of garbage dumping will cease to exist.
Fadnavis said the government will prepare a plan for giving incentives for zero garbage housing societies, which also recycle liquid waste. PTI MR NP BAS

Spring can't get here soon enough this year.
We moved in minus nine-degree weather, shivering with the doors wide open while the movers hefted our belongings into a truck in the snow.
It's not just me; the entire country has endured one of the harshest winters on record. Who else is ready for some warmer weather, and sunshine?
I have to admit I've been stalking local nurseries, driving slowly past gated, and chained storefronts, peering in at greenhouses full of colorful flowers and plush evergreens. Cabin fever has me delirious, longing for Spring bulbs that will soon splash our yards with colorful tulips, daffodils, and irises. I can almost smell the fragrant Hyacinths and dainty dianthus that will sooth me while I sip iced tea, and read a book while soaking up some vitamin D. Remember to apply sunscreen if you're out for more than twenty minutes, though.
How much longer must we wait? A quick check of my calendar indicates Spring is only a week away! I'm elated! In fact, in makes me so happy I've arranged a Countdown to Spring with a one-week sale on my book, Hope, Inc.
This is how it works…
March 14 & 15 Hope, Inc. will be available for just 99 cents on Amazon.com
March 16 & 17 buy it for only $1.99
March 18 & 19, the last two days before Spring grab a copy for $2.99
Once Spring arrives it goes to full price again, so hurry!
If you know someone who loves crime mysteries pass this along and let's Countdown to Spring!

And now we have research proof to back that statement up even further. According to a recent survey by AARP, more than 57 percent of seniors and elderly desire professional training instruction to assure they perform exercises correctly and avoid injuries, which become harder to recover from as one gets older. In addition, there are whole fitness facility franchises that are designed to train the older adult, and employ older trainers.
Is there opportunity for older trainers? I'd say so! Click here to read the full story.

Brendan Moloney believes 'there is no better game' for the Cobblers to put things right than the visit of rivals Peterborough United after Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Charlton left 'everyone hurting'.
Northampton's poor start to the season reached new depths at The Valley where they were soundly beaten by the Addicks after Josh Magennis and Ricky Holmes netted in each half prior to Jake Forster-Caskey's injury-time double.
That result has left the Cobblers floundering in the Sky Bet League One relegation zone with no points from three games.
"Everyone's hurting," admitted Moloney afterwards. "We went a goal down quite early which was tough to take and gave us an uphill challenge straightaway.
"We fought to get back into the game, we made it 2-1 and that gave us a chance but we conceded when we were throwing men forward.
"Everyone's extremely, extremely disappointed in the dressing room, but we're going to come in on Monday, we're going to work hard, we're going to stay together and there's no better game than next week to put things right.
Everyone's extremely, extremely disappointed in the dressing room, but we're going to come in on Monday, we're going to work hard, we're going to stay together and there's no better game than next week to put things right.
"No one likes losing and that's three in a row now. We have a lot of new players and we're all still learning off each other and we're still gelling, but we've got to get in training and put things right at the weekend."
Moloney's display at right wing-back, having replaced the injured Aaron Phillips only 13 minutes in, was one of the few bright spots on an otherwise disappointing day, not that he was able to take away any personal joy.
He added: "To be honest we've lost the game and that's all that's in everyone's mind. Performance-wise you'd rather play badly and win than the other way around.
"We'll have a look at things on the video on Monday and we know we have a big game so we'll make sure we put things right."
The pressure ramps up a few notches this week with the visit of rivals Peterborough, who have won every game so far, but Moloney insists confidence in the Cobblers camp remains high.
"When you lose games it's never great for people's confidence but it's about grinding out the next result and get things going," he continued.
"When you're winning games you're full of confidence but if you let it get to you when things aren't going your way you can suffer.
"We have a very strong group in the dressing room and that's not just saying it – we do have a strong group and a good squad of players.
"Everyone is fully confident that we can start getting results."

My grandmother made a revocable living trust before she died. I have a feeling someone changed the trust after her death. How can I get a copy of it?
It may be tough to sneak a peek at the trust. Unlike wills, trusts are private documents that aren't filed with the probate court and do not become matters of public record. In fact, that is what attracts some people to making a living trust in the first place: They can live and die assured that the world will never see its contents.
There are a few exceptions, of course. For example, California and some other states give people who would inherit from a deceased person the right to see a trust. But in most places, you have no right to look at someone else's trust document unless you are named as a beneficiary of the trust.
Unless you have a good basis for a lawsuit alleging that you have been fraudulently cheated out of a rightful inheritance, you probably will not get to see the document. If you think you might have a case, talk with a local lawyer who has experience with lawsuits over estates and trusts.

Barbados Port Inc. (BPI) recently held a ceremony to commission its newly extended Berth #5, the Shallow Draught Marina and the acquisition of a spanking new Liebehrr Panamax Container Crane and other cargo-handling equipment.
Delivering the feature address at Berth 5, against the backdrop of the docked mega ship, Anthem of the Seas, Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism, Senator Irene Sandiford-Garner said she was pleased with the "Master Plan" which the BPI had implemented. "The infrastructural works complement the institutional changes that are ongoing at the Port to make it the enviable Port of choice in the region and beyond. The BPI's Master Plan is on course and is being executed as planned. The new Panamax container crane will improve the efficiency of cargo operations and several workers have already received training in the use of the crane and has since seen faster turnaround time for vessels," she said.
BPI Chairman, David Harding, said he was proud of the strides that the Bridgetown Port was making and that it could now be considered the premier port facility in the Eastern Caribbean. "The Bridgetown Port has caught up. The acquisition of this new state-of-the-art Panamax Container Crane and the extension of Berth 5 is part of the Port's Master Plan 2000 that we are forging ahead with. The crane will be able to handle ships which pass through the Panama Canal. As part of the equipment upgrade programme, we have also acquired 17 additional forklifts, two empty container handlers and five electric straddle carriers to expand the fleet," he said.
During the remarks, CEO, David Jean-Marie stated that despite financial delays, Berth 5 was completed on time and on budget thanks to local contractors. "This expansion project was done to the tune of $115 million and at one point we had to search for $27 million in bridge funding. Despite the loans from ANSA Merchant Bank, we ran out of money. However, credit must be given to Mark Maloney and the consortium of contractors which he pulled together who continued working," he said.Officials were taken on a tour of the Panamax container crane and were then treated to light refreshments aboard the Tiami catamaran which was docked at the newly commissioned Shallow Draught Marina. Reverend Robert Luther Johnson performed the invocation on the day's proceedings.
Berth #5 underwent a recent 75-metre expansion on March 27 last year and was completed in October. While Berth #5 is mainly for cargo, its expansion was completed just in time to host mega ships Britannia and Mein Schiff 3 which arrived last year on November 6 and 9, respectively.

For the past two weeks, enabled by the sharp memories of our readership, we've verydeftly proventhat the callfor sanityisn't a new thing at all -- it's been a constant theme of "The Daily Show".
Her callfor boycotting Campbell's Soup because the company offered halal -- approved under Islamic law as kosher food is under Jewish law -- versions of its products got her much attention, as did her promotion of a screed claiming that President Barack Obama was the illegitimate lovechild of Malcolm X.
But instead of responding to the Egyptian-Algerian actorAhmed Mekky'swake up callfor unity, peace, and tolerance, Egypt's loss on November 18th in Sudan proved that it wasmuch more than football!

The Mister and I are in the process of moving in together. To be more accurate, I'm in the process of moving in with him. Into. His. Space. He has been exceedingly gracious with giving me places to put my belongings. He has allowed me to choose between duplicate possessions, so we have a nice, integrated household. He has been incredibly encouraging throughout this entire stressful process.
And stressful it has been! I don't like to update my computer or change the toilet paper roll, so I'm having a smidge of trouble with packing up my stuff and moving it somewhere else, no matter how much I want to get to the somewhere else to be with the someone else who already lives there.
I don't want to take over his space entirely, but his giant (very cool!) art photographs of African animals say, "A MAN lives here!" On the other hand, hanging up my Georgia O'Keeffe posters would scream, "WOMAN!" There's a tension in figuring out how to make the space represent the character of us as a couple. (On a side note, someone I know says that houses with garages that face the street say, "Cars live here," rather than "People live here." Interesting.)
The bedroom décor is another manifestation of this problem. He has a wonderful, neutral-colored linear-lined quilt on the bed. I LOVE it. It's beautiful. But it's a little on the masculine side. (As it should be. If he had a chintz comforter on the bed when I got there, I would have run for the hills. Duh.) I certainly don't want to replace it with the blue and while square blocked quilt I got from pottery barn kids. (Does anyone else lurve the hooded towels at pottery barn kids that look like animals? But I digress . . . .)
I've looked all around, and don't see anything in the marketplace that meets our criteria. The new bedspread must: (1) adequately merge our two styles, (2) be relatively lightweight, and (3) hold up to the scratching of our darling little dog, who wipes his ears all over the bed after he gets a bath. To get the water out. Obviously.
So . . . what if I designed my own quilt? I could pick my own fabrics and make it modern and fresh. I have this image of two intersecting circles that are asymmetrically placed on the quilt, kind of like a Venn Diagram of our relationship -- the two of us are each our own circle, and the intersection is our relationship together. Like the picture below, but with more vibrant, saturated colors in a monochromatic scheme.
After I come up with the design, I could sew the top together, and then send it to a quilting service, which would quilt, bind, and back it for around $300. It could be the modern version of a wedding ring quilt. What do you think? Artsy or fartsy?

You are so much more industrious than I am. I would have bought a denim duvet and be done with it.
That being said, I love the idea. Although I do wonder, if it's a Venn diagram, which of you is the BIG circle and which is the little one???

L-D-Da.... This is a link to her website. I was so excited to attend this Retreat - and all my expectations were more than met.
This is a picture of our "Tender Hearts" Needle Roll project and where I ended with the stitching on Sunday.
We also received too many gifts - and I will blog again to show the stash I came home with.
We also did several small projects - taught by some of my favorite people from the shop.
There is a very small scissors fob - We were given a choice of about nine designs - each was a small square - I repeated it four times to make the fob. We were able to pick our own fabric from several pieces and pick either red or blue thread. I brought home another piece of fabric and the blue thread for another scissor fob I will also complete soon
The pin cushions were are Sunday morning project - the small one is the size is made on a bottle cap.
We also made a wool felt needle book. Mine was so elementary
But I am using it, and it is very cool. Thank you to @AStitcher's Garden and La-D-Da. For a wonderful fun filled weekend. Can't wait until next year.

A researcher at ForexMinute came up with the top three reasons why Bitcoin which reached at the peak in exchange value in April this year started falling apart later on.
(PRWEB) August 08, 2013
A researcher at ForexMinute came up with the top three reasons why Bitcoin which reached at the peak in exchange value in April this year started falling apart later on. According to the research report published at the online portal ForexMinute, a leading source for Bitcoin news, Forex news, Forex brokers' reviews, etc., the major issue has been Mt. Gox's flip-flops in the recent couple of months.
The researcher at ForexMinute claims that Mt. Gox has a monopoly on Bitcoin exchange and when it was being hounded by the government agencies, the prices started withering away. At the same time Mt. Gox decided to withhold US dollar withdrawal in the last month; it did more damage than anything else as stakeholders started suspecting that Bitcoin was falling from the grace.
The second reason according to the researcher at ForexMinute is negativity fed by the media organizations. When the government onslaught was being unleashed on Bitcoin, the media started questioning the entire concept of virtual currency. Stakeholders panicked and started selling Bitcoin to save their investment; this also caused lowering down of the value.
The third reason, according to the researcher at ForexMinute is that government interference was untimely and unwarranted. Some other possible reasons according to the source that contributed in gradual but definite decline in the value of Bitcoin is that it was being used by sharks earlier that after gaining profits started selling them at lower prices.
The researcher however, now claims that the prices are surging; he sees a great potential in Bitcoin.

European stocks closed lower on Wednesday as concerns continued over the possibility the Federal Reserve might begin tapering of asset-purchasing.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 Index ended unofficially lower at 1,224,19 points after a thin day of trade, reversing Tuesday's gains. The index has fallen 3 percent from its 2013 peak of 1,258.09.
Markets were hit by continued fears of an end to quantitative easing by central banks, plus growth concerns from Germany, the euro zone's largest economy. On Wednesday, German labor data showed more people than expected had joined the unemployment rolls for the month of May. The jobless rate was left unchanged at 6.9 percent.
Meanwhile, the European Commission gave its verdict on countries that have missed EU budget deficit targets at a press conference. It confirmed that France, Poland, Slovenia and Spain will get two-year extensions to meet deficit targets.

"Mate, I'm broken. I've been planning this for a year and now I'm out. I can't believe it. What am I going to do?"
With the haunted look of a man who had been on his feet for 30 hours and bloodshot eyes betraying a recent cry, I couldn't argue with his assessment. I'd seen him on the Spine training weekend in November and now here he was, distraught, in a cafe in Malham village – about 80 miles into the race, with another 188 to go.
It was Sunday afternoon and we'd been racing since leaving Edale in a surprise snow-shower at 8am on the Saturday morning – across treacherous icy flagstones, through endless energy-sapping mud and over fields that had morphed into lakes during one of the wettest Januarys on record. I guess I must have been ahead of him on day one – until I stopped off at 3am for a couple of hours' sleep in the motorhome my brother Tim had kindly agreed to drive. The rest had rejuvenated me – but the runner before me had pressed on through the night.
I said sympathetic things while the folks at the cafe prepared a couple of tuna rolls, a takeaway tea and a slice of carrot cake (running for 20+ hours a day burns off 8,000-10,000 calories – so a pocketful of energy gels isn't going to do it) but he was inconsolable; there was nothing I could do.
I said my goodbyes, paid up and pushed on. I was still feeling ok physically and had been consciously holding myself back to conserve energy, knowing that if all went to plan I wouldn't be reaching the finish line in Kirk Yetholm until Thursday afternoon at the earliest – maybe a day later if things got difficult. I didn't cross my mind that in five or six hours I'd be out of the race too.
A short climb past the spectacular limestone cliff of Malham Cove brought me to the tarn – and a mini checkpoint staffed by polar veteran John Bamber – in good spirits. I was surprised to hear I was in the top 10, and John warned dryly that coming through Malham that quickly meant "you're either superman – or you're going to drop". He must have seen my smile waver, quickly reassuring me that he had no doubt I was of course some kind of superhero ...
A couple more cups of sweet tea and a handful of biltong later, and I was out of the door and on my way; still feeling ok and keen to get to Hawes before midnight so I could rest and recuperate before striking out for Middleton-in-Teesdale.
Because it takes place in January, Spine racers spend up to 16 hours out of every 24 running in the dark. As I reached the shoulder of Pen y Ghent ("Hill of winds", possibly. I'm not going to argue …) a couple of hours later, I was being battered by ferocious winds: horizontal rain and sleet were testing my waterproof gear, visibility with my head torch was down to a couple of metres and I hadn't seen another runner since Malham Tarn. I began to worry about the short rocky scramble ahead.
Being the kind of runner who enjoys meticulously planning for a race, I'd run/walked the length of the Pennine Way over a few weekends last autumn – and remembered taking a wrong line on the steep route ahead. I knew the same mistake could put me in serious trouble alone, at night, on icy rocks and with no mobile phone reception. I thought of my family – and the possible consequences if mountain rescue were called out to save me, or worse …
Retracing my steps to a clear track I hung around for a while hoping another runner would arrive so we could push over the top together. In retrospect I should have looked for a less exposed spot, because as I grew colder and wetter it dawned on me that I was increasingly hoping no one would come past. I ummed and ahhed for what seemed like an age before reluctantly making the decision to DNF.
I bailed to Horton and, after a quick call to race control to let them know I was calling it a day, found solace in front of a pub fire with a couple of pints and a huge, steaming bowl of chilli while I waited for Tim. I was tired and sore and pleased to be somewhere warm – but also angry with myself for giving up so easily. Like the runner in the cafe said – all those months of training, all those back-to-back winter long runs; even a long weekend forcing myself out of bed at 4am for three days to run 25 miles with a full pack to try to acclimatise my body and mind to the sleep deprivation I knew lay ahead … All for nothing.
The next day I found out that a big chunk of the field had dropped on the Sunday night in "absolutely horrendous conditions" – but that didn't rid me of the nagging feeling of failure. I was physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted – as you expect to be after an ultra – but the closure you get when you cross the finish line was lacking this time round. For the next few days I obsessively followed the race's Open Tracker page on my smartphone – genuinely pleased for the runners I knew who were gutting it out and making steady progress towards Kirk Yetholm – and beating myself up about my first DNF. When friends left messages congratulating me on a "fantastic achievement" or telling me how I should feel proud for even trying a race like the Spine, I just ignored them.
Psychologist Fiona Beddoes-Jones of the Cognitive Fitness Consultancy says coping with a DNF is a bit like going through the grief process – runners pass through stages of anger, despair and resignation – before finally picking themselves up and moving on.
During a week spent supporting the race she encountered a fair few despondent non-finishers and a couple who were completely distraught. "There's very little you can do to support them – other than be there and listen," she told me later. "They don't want to hear that this feeling will pass and they'll feel better – they want to wallow in it. It is positive to allow them to do that – although there is a danger they might want to wallow for too long."
Last year, snow and ice along virtually the whole route made for some attention-grabbing photos – but there is an argument that the warm, wet and windy conditions of 2014 were just as tough.
In the end, out of 80 Spine Race starters, just 30 made it to Kirk Yetholm. The drop-out rate was highest at the sharp end of the field – from 11 "ones to watch" picked by a leading ultrarunning website, only two (Neil Bryant in seventh and Charlie Sharpe in 11th) finished the race. Czech photographer Pavel Paloncy won in four days, 14 hours and 45 minutes – smashing the course record by 14 hours, during which he only slept for a total of five hours.
Race director Scott Gilmour – who ended up pretty sleep deprived himself after a manic week organising checkpoints, support teams, medics, trackers and even a chef – says the Spine is more an adventure footrace which appeals to ultrarunners than an ultramarathon. "I think it's almost perfect in its cruelty," he told Summit Fever TV in an interview. "It's brutal – but it's achievable."
Sadly, not for me. But there's no doubt the Spine delivers an epic adventure, without having to leave Britain. Arriving back home after the race I discovered a new-found appreciation of routine comforts; for a while a soft, warm bed, a beer, staying still … all seem like blissful, sumptuous luxuries to be savoured.
Beddoes-Jones says runners can help themselves prepare for a DNF or race-stopping injury by considering every possible scenario before an event – by thinking through how they'd deal with the negatives as well as the positives. If you do drop out, then be sure to analyse what went wrong and learn from the experience before moving on, she says.
Could I have done anything differently? Personally, I felt well prepared – although perhaps a little overtrained. In hindsight it should have been obvious my schedule would see me scrambling up Pen y Ghent in the dark – so a couple more trips up there before the race would have given me the confidence I lacked. Could I have gone on to complete the remaining 170 miles? Who knows.
I ran my first ultra 18 months ago – and have since been pushing my boundaries of distance and difficulty. One lesson I thought I'd learned from DNFing the Spine was that my upper limit lay somewhere below attempting 268-mile single-stage races in winter. After a few days, though, my "never again" had predictably turned into a "maybe". You can see where this might be going...

Federal grants covering food, housing repair, employment and assisted living conversion are available to profit and non-profit organizations to meet the needs of senior citizens, according to Federal Grants Wire. Other grants cover capital assistance and Medicare and Medicaid services. Very few grants are awarded to individuals, according to LoveToKnow.
Individual states and foundations also offer grants to specialized organizations that meet the needs of seniors in the areas of nutrition, education and housing, according to LoveToKnow. Organizations that work with seniors to support education, good health, volunteerism and senior safety are also eligible.
According to Federal Grants Wire, a variety of federal agencies offer grants for services that fall into their particular jurisdiction. For example, the Department of Transportation offers grants to meet transportation needs for seniors, the Department of Health and Human Services covers Medicare and Medicaid services and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Services branch deals with food and nutrition.
States often receive grant money from the federal government to fund grants for organizations and individuals, according to LoveToKnow. State government websites, or the Department of Social Services for each state, should list available options.
GrantWatch lists available federal, state and foundation grants, along with grant-writing workshops.

How this work?
- You use our platform to create investment algorithms.
- We work with you in all stages of the development, from idea generation to coding to validation.
- We evaluate them. If your algorithm performs well, we will back it with capital and cover all costs.
- When your algorithm makes money, you take a cut of the profits.
Our job is to raise the capital, handle all day-to-day trading operations, provide data sets, as well as build the best research platform in the world for creating investment strategies.
What you get?
If your algorithm is selected, we will pay you a share of the profits that your algorithm earns on investor capital. Our target is to pay you 10% of the profit on your algorithm's allocation. For example, if your algorithm has a 20% annual return and your allocation is $10 million, you would be paid $200,000 per year.
- You are not told what to do. You develop your own algorithms up to your imagination and ability.
- You don't have to pay expenses. The data, platform, and commission fees are all covered by us.
- If you are doing a Ph.D. in quantitative finance, it is a good opportunity to monetize your research result.
- You will be paid for your algorithm's performance, regardless of other algorithm writers' performance.
- You don't need to manage fund operations. We will run the algorithms.
- You don't need to raise trading capital. We will fund your successful algorithms.
- You do not have fiduciary responsibility. All you do is research. It is essentially riskless for you to join our network.
How are we different?
First and foremost, you don't need to work alone. Our goal is to build a community of quantitative researchers who work together and learn from each other. We want to share information (up to trade secrets). Unlike our competitors, we are not interested in just taking your (unknown) trading strategy and make money. We want to help you learn and grow to become our partners. Therefore, we will work closely with you on your algorithms. We can provide trading ideas, math modeling help and IT support. We will even share with you some information and experience on our successful algorithms. We want to work with you as a team so we all learn from each other. We want to build a long term working relationship with you.
Second, we are only interested in mathematical algorithms that can be proved. As can be seen by some of the work that we have done, all our investment strategies are pure models based on solid mathematical theories. We are not interested in technical indicators that you can always make them work in backtesting. Your algorithms must be proven both mathematically (under assumptions) and pass our suite of statistical backtesting tests.
Third, we have already a large (if not largest) collection of financial mathematics related algorithms in Java that you can simply reuse to prototype your ideas. See SuanShu and AlgoQuant for more information. You can choose to develop on top of our existing algorithms and improve them. There is always room to improve an already good investment strategy.
Forth, if for nothing else, it is always fun to work on mathematical research with a group of good people as a hobby. 🙂
Terms and Conditions
To join our community, you agree to the following terms and conditions (in plain English).
- We will give you a free license to use our technologies.
- You do not distribute or pass the materials that you receive from us to any other party, including but not limited to ideas, papers, software, data.
- You may leave the community at any time.
- We may terminate your membership and collaboration at any time.
- If we must part, both you and we (the Company) own the IP of the trading ideas and the code that you submit to us (e.g., email, code repository). This is so that we don't sue each other over the IP. You may take the idea to another fund and continue the development, and so do we.
Simply put, it is basically saying that until the point we sign a contract to fund your algorithm, we have no commitment to each other.

Shadow Emperor - Japan Conference - The Nippon Kaigi (日本会議?, "Japan Conference")[1] is a Japanese nationalist non-political party and State Shinto-advocating religious organization that was established in 1997 and has approximately 38,000 members.[1][2][3] The group is influential in the legislative and executive branches of the Japanese government through its affiliates.[2][4] Shinzō Abe, the Prime Minister of Japan, serves as a special advisor to the group's parliamentary league.[1] The group describes its aims as to "change the postwar national consciousness based on the Tokyo Tribunal's view of history as a fundamental problem" and to "revise the current Constitution,"[5] and sees its mission to promote patriotic education, the revision of the Constitution of Japan, and support for prime ministers' official visits to Yasukuni Shrine.[6][7][8][9] In the words of Hideaki Kase, an influential member of Nippon Kaigi, "We are dedicated to our conservative cause. We are monarchists. We are for revising the constitution. We are for the glory of the nation."[10] Nippon Kaigi supports revising the Japanese Constitution, especially Article 9 which forbids a standing army.[11]

My home state of Pennsylvania has finally joined the rest of the country in posting its statutes and legislative activity online:
Thanks to Genie Tyburski's TVC Alert for the heads up!
*For those of you who need an explanation for this reference, please see http://politicalhumor.about.com/cs/georgewbush/a/top10bushisms.htm for details.
From today's NY Times:
"How did such a nerdy profession become cool — aside
from the fact that a certain amount of nerdiness is now cool? Many young
librarians and library professors said that the work is no longer just about
books but also about organizing and connecting people with information,
including music and movies."
According to the front page of today's Wall Street Journal, "You're a nobody unless your name Googles well"-I introduce you to Abigail Wilson, a woman apparently so traumatized by the fact that her new married name cannot be found in Google, she is planning on inflicting the following on her soon-to-be born child:
So when Ms. Wilson, now 32, was pregnant with her first child,
she ran every baby name she and her husband, Justin, considered through Google
to make sure her baby wouldn't be born unsearchable. Her top choice: Kohler, an
old family name that had the key, rare distinction of being uncommon on the Web
when paired with Wilson. "Justin and I wanted our son's name to be as special as
he is," she explains.
After all, who can be bothered with such silly things as family or religious tradition when it's really the boys in Mountain View who we want to keep happy?
Oh please.
At the risk of sounding like a press release, I wanted to point out to everyone this new resource from BusinessWeek magazine.
The Company Insight Center, available at investing.businessweek.com, is designed to "pull together up to 33 pages of data, charts, profiles, and new stories on each of 42,000 public companies in the US and abroad" according to the company.
From my point of view, the most useful part of this new resource is the "people page" on the companies channel. There you can click on board members, and then you can see other members of the board and their respective affiliations. This is very handy for helping to see all the different relationships that are corporate directorships these days.
I've subscribed to BusinessWeek for years, and have always found the print edition to be full of stories of interest to me. This new free tool is a wonderful addition to this publication.
Just heard about this resource from Thomson Gale this a.m. on the drive into work:
AccessMyLibrary – News, Research, and Information that Libraries Trust
"…free access to millions of articles from top publications available at your local library."

From Mr. Christian's testimony today before the Senate Judiciary Committee:
The path we
chose in Connecticut is based on a longstanding principle of
librarianship – our deep rooted commitment to patron confidentiality
that assures that libraries are places of free inquiry, where citizens
go to inform themselves on ideas and issues, without fear that their
inquiries would be known to anyone else. The freedom to read is part
and parcel of our First Amendment rights. To function, the public must
trust that libraries are committed to such confidentiality. When the
USA PATRIOT Act was signed into law, our Connecticut library community,
like the American Library Association, many other librarians as well as
booksellers, authors and others, were concerned about the lack of
judicial oversight as well as the secrecy associated with a number of
the Act's provisions and the NSLs in particular.
JURIST – Paper Chase: Librarian who challenged NSL urges more privacy protection before Senate panel
I spend a fair amount of time with lawyers, law students, paralegals, and others involved in the legal profession. I used to think that the aversion to technology that is widespread throughout the law was an age thing, but I've come to realize that it runs deeper than that.
As someone who is fairly comfortable with technology, I admit that I have a hard time understanding when others seem to have such difficulty and fear with things that seem to me to be almost second nature. When you try to explain to someone that in the year 2007 you shouldn't still be keeping a typewriter around "just in case" and that it sends a bad message to both clients and prospective employees, they look at you like you have two heads.
This study does a much better job than I ever could in explaining the issue:
The Chronicle: Wired Campus Blog: Lawyers Want Technology Training
I was very sorry to read tonight about the demise of another great tool that I use as part of my research arsenal on a daily basis. The Israeli company Netsnippets announced on their website that they are going out of business, although apparently they will still be providing technical support via e-mail to current users.
I guess we should just come to expect this type of thing in the Internet age, but this marks the second time in less than a year that a tool that I had come to use daily is no longer available. Last year Microsoft killed Onfolio ( oh wait, they "merged" it with Windows Live) and now no more Netsnippets.
The pursuit of the perfect research tool continues…

Barbara, Deerfield Beach FL
As you can see in the last photo, the subject of this plaque is a mate to either twt3286 or twt3078. That last photo also shows the variations found in tricolor jasperware plaques.
As we have had this same plaque before, albeit not in this color combination, we can say that it is German, likely Schafer & Vater as we have found it with a variety of markings before such as just the word 'Germany', the Schafer & Vater hallmark impressed, or just numbers.
It measures approx. 7 1/4" x 5 3/8". The thickest part measures 1 3/4" (at the top). It has holes for hanging (currently there is a sturdy string that allows hanging immediately).
The condition is excellent with no chips or cracks or repairs. There are a few color skips in the deep green but those occurred in the making.
We specialize in these plaques so if you are interested, please search my site with the word 'jasperware' and it will bring up about 50 other items.

Harriet Martineau (1802–1876) was an important activist with regard to her long-running campaign for the abolition of slavery in the United States. However, she also occupies an important place in the development of sociology, political economy and women's rights; she achieved fame as well as an early female journalist. Above all, the skill of Harriet Martineau lies in her ability to write clearly across a range of genres and to bring to readers a new approach to analysing the functioning of societies.
Her early religious writings reflected her Unitarian upbringing but she was soon writing more widely for a number of periodicals. Her first important work was Illustrations of political economy in 1832 which was the collection of a series of articles explaining the works of Adam Smith and the operation of a market economy. These included a portrait entitled A Manchester strike, a tale written in 1833.
She also helped to explain (and popularise) the work of Mill, Bentham and Malthus.
Having achieved some financial success through her work she spent two years in touring the United States. She realised that slavery was quietly favoured by most of the population and especially by most, but not all, religious groups. She observed that women, although themselves slaves of the system, were also at the forefront of the anti-slavery movement and she looked at the operation of the Female Anti-Slavery Society in Boston and similar groups across the country. In support of abolitionism she and other supporters were often placed in grave danger given the widespread violence inflicted upon them.
Whilst The martyr age of the United States dealt with the abolitionist movement two other works – Society in America (1837) and How to observe morals and manners (1839) – are important in that they demonstrate her view that in order to study society it is necessary to study all of its component parts. From this analysis it is possible to understand inequality, slavery, moral behaviour and discrimination against women.
She also translated into English the works of August Comte in 1853, thus introducing into Britain one of the foundation texts of sociology. She maintained her commitment to anti-slavery work by writing articles for journals both here and in the United States for most of her life. She also wrote novels and short stories inspired by her visit to the United States including The hour and the man which featured the leader of the Haitian slave rebellion Toussaint L' Ouverture.
From 1839 Harriet became seriously ill and she bought a house and hired a companion to manage her illness over a period of years. During this time she wrote Life in the sickroom: essays by an invalid which was an important text because it was based on the 'invalid' assuming control over the sickroom and the management of her own illness. Such a position was clearly opposed by men in the medical profession, but is considered a landmark in reflective women's writing.
In 1844 she underwent a course of treatment by mesmerism (nearest modern equivalent being hypnosis) and when recovered moved to the Lake District and then travelled extensively in the Middle East. This visit resulted in her rejection of organised religion and the writing of Eastern life, present and past in 1848.
From her base in Ambleside Harriet wrote guide books, histories and a range of works on women's education and atheism. She continued to write for a broad range of publications and campaigned on a number of issues affecting women, principally that of female suffrage.
When Harriet started to suffer from heart disease in 1855 she began to write her autobiography in anticipation of imminent death. In addition to her coverage of the many episodes in her life the autobiography contains details of her experiences in the United States, meetings with many notable Victorian figures, her views on the position of women and how she dealt with her profound deafness.
The Working Class Movement Library has a range of works to come in and read in order to assess the life of an important female activist and thinker. These include her Autobiography [Shelfmark B12] and Biographical sketches [B18] and her history work: The history of England during the thirty years' peace 1816–1846 [D61 – two volumes].
In addition, the Library has a collection of her writings on the Poor Laws, Poor laws and paupers illustrated [D05] and Illustrations of political economy [D05] on the Manchester Strike.
Works about the life of Harriet include works entitled Harriet Martineau by Florence Fenwick Miller [B12], John Cranstoun Nevill [A13], and Harriet Martineau: a radical Victorian by R.K. Webb [S20]. Works which examine the many aspects of her life include those by Shelagh Hunter [Q50], E.A. Pratt [A11] and Dale Spender [X28].

That looks amazing. Will have to get that book. I'm getting a lot of veggie dinner requests. A xReplyDelete
It looks absolutely wonderful to this cauliflower fan - a sort of delightful hybrid of quiche and yorkshire pudding and vegetable patch.ReplyDelete
Lily I am just mad about those Ottolenghi books, thanks for recommending them - only got Plenty last week, must give this a go - a lovely alternative to the boring loop of lunchtime salads I have gotten myself into xReplyDelete
10 eggs! You really have to commit to that, I hope it's relatively fool proof.ReplyDelete
I'm going to have a go making it this Sunday for my veggie sister (Emma, you've met) and our eldest sister Ailish. They're going to Take That and will need to be well fed.
it looks amazing, i've never heard of cauliflour cake before but it sounds great, definitely a tasty change from quorn!ReplyDelete
looks scrummy - will have to add that to my ever expanding "must try this" recipe pile :O)http://www.michellemadethis.blogspot.comReplyDelete
(I've tried to comment a few times on your blog lately but it keeps reverting me to signing in, even though I already am :O( I'm trying commenting as "anonymous" so maybe that will work?

I just joined MsMarmitelovers Supper Club blog today and see you're on it for Ireland, hopefully I'll be joining you there in a day or two. I'm doing my 3rd run in Roscommon this Sunday! Would love to come to yours sometime. :-)ReplyDelete
Great photos looks really interesting! I am not cauliflower's biggest fan either so would give this a go. Thanks!
Wow. That looks great. I read the Guardian website pretty much every day but somehow managed to miss this recipe, nice one for the heads up!ReplyDelete
