After graduating from Dartmouth in 2008 with a degree in Psychology, Charlie Stoebe immediately began a two-year Rotational Program at NBC Universal focused on digital media. Since completing the program, he's spent the past three years working in the sales and marketing side of NBC Sports. We asked him to tell us a little bit more about what it is like to work in Advertising and how to best enter the field:
Position: Marketing Manager at NBC Universal (NBC Sports).
Two sentence description of what you do:
The role of the Sales Marketing group is to generate revenue for NBC Sports through advertising. My specific role on the Marketing side is to come up with custom solutions for brands to execute on NBC Sports properties.
What is most satisfying about your current work?
I love how challenging and different each day is. On Monday I'll be thinking of how to convince McDonald's to spend money within Sunday Night Football, and then on Tuesday I'm working on an idea for Allstate within Premier League soccer. It's the benefit of working in a fast paced environment for a large company.
What's the best way to enter your field? Any essential elements of preparation?
I think the best way is to get a job within a large media company. I started in a rotational program where I got to see different sides of the organization (News Publishing, Ad Sales, & Digital Products) before settling down into my current role. Obviously that is not available everywhere but any exposure within a large media company will help you learn about the different skills needed within each department.
What advice would you give to others seeking opportunities in this field?
I think the most important thing for Sales Marketing is writing. I have always loved writing – whether it be ridiculous emails to my fraternity or the infinite-page Psych papers each term. My job at its core is creative writing so having any background where writing is key will be extremely helpful.
How has Dartmouth supported you in your career development?
The NBC rotational program I started in came to campus for the Employer Connections Fair and that's how I got my start. Luckily for me the head of the program was a Dartmouth '97 and he was intent on having someone from Dartmouth get into the program – forever grateful to have been that someone.
Is there anything that we haven't asked you that you think we should?
The media industry is definitely underrepresented at most (if not all) career fairs, but don't let that fool you – there is a job for every passion and major. Check the careers section of the websites of all the major networks (NBC, CBS, ESPN, MTV, etc.) to see what's available. There are an infinite number of entry-level jobs at these companies so just because they don't come to campus does not mean they are not hiring.

For more than 30 years, Joel and Ethan Coen have tackled almost every film genre, from stoner comedy The Big Lebowski to revenge Western True Grit, and the 1960s New York folk music scene in 2013's Inside Llewyn Davis.
For their latest caper, the filmmaker brothers found themselves inspired by something a little closer to home – Hollywood's Golden Age. Hail, Caesar!, already out in theatres, follows a stress-filled couple of days in the life of Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), a fixer at a major Hollywood film studio who is dealing with the mysterious kidnapping of his leading man Baird Whitlock (George Clooney). And because of being kidnapped off set, Clooney spends the movie in his Roman dress.
''Well let me say this I didn't expect to be wearing a leather dress for the Coen Brothers – but you never know what you'll be wearing with those boys cos they'll call you up – and I have worn some pretty idiotic outfits before with them,'' he said.
When asked what his wife, Amal, thought of it, he replied ''Well she came to the set one day and she has a great fashion sense and she thought that perhaps the skirt was a little too high for my age – it wasn't age-appropriate.''

Hi everyone,
I have several artists that I tag in Japanese using MP3Tag. When I browse the album artist in foobar mobile, all of these artists of course show up at the end of the alphabetical list. I thought I could enter the artists in English with ARTISTSORT or ALBUMARTISTSORT in MP3Tag, and then the Japanese artists would show up in the correct location, but it doesn't work.
Any suggestions on how I can get this to work? Thanks

Tree Removal With Crane
Large trees can be removed using a crane instead of having individual climbers take the tree down. The process might be a bit more costly, yet it can be safer and faster especially for large trees in tight spaces.
The process is fairly straightforward. The crane gets as close to the tree as possible. The arborist then ties the tree to the boom of the crane and cuts the tree. The tree is removed section by section very rapidly.
Beard's Tree Service provides professional crane operation along with experienced operators who remove tree's daily. Our hi-tech crane has a 16,000 lbs capacity and 74 ft. reach capability. This enables it to maneuver in such areas that would otherwise inaccessible. Our tree service owns our crane and by having professional crane operators that do tree business every day. We find it very important to see to it that all of our crane operators have the expertise needed to get the job done correctly the first time.
Using a crane for tree service and removal is much more complex and dangerous compared to any standard crane usage. Our climber, who is actually the one cutting down the tree, must maintain communication with the crane operator at all times. When dealing with large tree limbs, like Oak trees which are very heavy, and the cut is actually made, the branches will sway. Therefore, our tree removal crane operator must have the necessary skills needed to safely complete the tree removal job in a safe and reliable manner. Our crane service helps to make tree service much more affordable and improves our overall job efficiency.

Review: The Fate of the Furious
The Fate of the Furious brings the franchise's blockbuster brand of mayhem to the screen one more time for it's eighth and most definite entry to date.
One has to be amazed at the depth the Fast and the Furious franchise has achieved. Eight entries deep and somehow the studio continues to find a pulse. The true feat however is the growing strength of its entries and their ability to play off of the universe they've created. While these films are far from cinematic gems, they have begun to carve out their own type of popcorn fueled madness that you can't help but buy into. With F. Gary Gray at the helm, The Fate of the Furious brings the franchise's blockbuster brand of mayhem to the screen one more time for it's eighth and most definite entry to date.
Finding Dominic (Vin Diesel) and Letty Toretto (Michelle Rodriguez) on their honeymoon in beautiful Havana, Cuba, it seems as if the tortured couple has finally found a moment of peace. It's bound to be short lived however with the "mysterious" Cipher (Charlize Theron) showing up out of nowhere. She's got a ton of info on Dom, his family, and their lives, but what she needs is a partner for her evil plans, specifically Dom. He is told that he will have to go against the very family he's stood for moments before Cipher leaves him with a cell phone displaying something that has Dom transfixed. Hobbs (The Rock) unwittingly employs Dom and his team for a job stealing an EMP, which goes according to plan until Dom does the unthinkable and turns on his team. Left with their jaws on the ground the team is approached by Mr. Nobody who let's it slip that Dom has managed to foil each one of Cipher's previous plans to acquire a nuclear warhead when stopping the Shaw brothers. Mr. Nobody believes that Team Toretto aided by Hobbs and Deckard Shaw, are the only hope the world has at stopping Cipher and Dom. However, Letty, the team, and the audience are all focused on the same thing: what could have possibly pushed Dom this far.
This film operates on a minefield of a script. All of the elements work, but they do nothing more. The plot sees highs and lows in execution, with the true highlight being Dom's motivation. The answer to that question is a prime example of exactly what this series does right, peeling back the numerous layers of story that create this franchise to connect the dots in incredible ways. Let's get one thing out of the way: this movie is about Dom, and in all honesty, the rest of the cast falls to the waist side with painfully flat writing. There is no dimension to these characters, and while it isn't missed, it is a missed opportunity for something more. Charlize Theron's Cipher doesn't sidestep this issue, but Theron's performance brings an authentic cold and calculated sharpness to character that has been rare in the series' villains. Her performance took certain scenes to palpable levels, but the writing always revealed a character with very little to bring to the table.
Authenticity rang true with the dialogue between Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, whom provided show stealing banter as Hobbs and Deckard Shaw. This playful chatter is really one of the highlights of the film. The dialogue wasn't always well written but it'd always well delivered. F. Gary Gray capitalizes on the clear chemistry the entire have developed over the years and lets it run rampant on screen, which even allowed for romance that doesn't make you cringe and quick fire banter that made the large scale action set pieces insanely fun and engaging.
Thanks to the franchise we've seen the incredible happen on four wheels, and The Fate of the Furious continues to push the boundaries of action based around automotives. Nothing steps entirely out of the range of reality, but that range is stretched as far as it can possibly go. The film brings you from street races in Cuba, to engagingly shot prison fighting sequences, and then back to the road again. Cipher's technological prowess is highlighted in a sequence dubbed "zombie cars", which brings the F&F movies to the streets of New York City. Impressive as this all is, it pales in comparison to the third act of the film, which finds our heroes on ice, literally. The sequences are pulled off masterfully touting tightly stitched shots that push the tempo and beautiful camera work. At the end of the day, this is what you came for, and they deliver.
Is it more of the same? Well, yes it is, but this question must be asked as well, is there anything wrong with that? The Fate of the Furious continues to elevate the level of execution for the films in the stretched out franchise. They continue to find new stories within their universe, one that continues to grow with fun, albeit one dimensional, characters. The series continues to provide us with a solid two hours of entertainment, while clearly raising the bar each time.
It's far from a cinematic masterpiece, but it clearly does not want to be. It wants to be fun, loud, and completely out of control, and that's exactly what it delivers in the series' best offering yet.
Side note: Praise the cinema Gods for that Helen Mirren cameo.

This is just a great shot, plain and simple. Feels very journalistic in style. Perhaps a bit blurry, but for whatever reason, it doesn't distract. I also think the saturated color (intentional? not sure) works well. This shot might say "friendship" more than any of the other entries to me.

Joyful expressions, with a clear context of fun in the pool. I like the composition with plenty of pool in the "canvas." Color balance could be adjusted a little.

You're Amazing And Deserve To Be Happy
10 Habits Of Genuinely Happy People
Do you know someone who seems to be happy all of the time? Do you ever wonder how they do it?
How in the world can they be so happy all of the time? Well, chances are they practice all or most of the 10 habits listed below.
1. Don't Carry Grudges
Forgiving and forgetting is necessary for your own happiness.
Holding a grudge means you're also holding onto resentment, anger, hurt and other negative emotions that are standing in the way of your own happiness.
Letting go of a grudge frees you from negativity and allows more space for positive emotions to fill in.
2. Treat Everyone With Kindness
Kindness is not only contagious, it's also proven to make you happier. When you're kind to others, your brain produces feel-good hormones and you're able to build strong relationships with others, fostering positive feelings all around.
3. Think Of Problems As Challenges
Change your internal dialogue so that anytime you have a problem you view it in a different way.
Just eliminate the word "problem" from your mind altogether and instead think of them as challenges and learning experiences.
4. Be Thankful
People who are thankful for what they have are better able to cope with stress, have more positive emotions, and are better able to reach their goals.
Keeping a daily list of what you're thankful for has been linked to happier moods, greater optimism and even better physical health.
5. Don't Sweat The Small Stuff
If what you're upset about will be irrelevant a year, a month, a week or even a day from now, why sweat it? Happy people know how to let life's daily irritations roll off their backs.
6. Speak Well of Others
Talking negatively about someone is like taking a bath in negative emotions; your body soaks them up.
Instead, make it a point to only say positive, nice words about other people, and you'll bring more positive thinking into your own life as well.
7. Don't Compare Yourself To Others
You're unique. So don't measure your own worth by comparing yourself to those around you. Measure your own success based on your progress alone, not that of others.
8. Surround Yourself With Positive People
The saying "misery loves company" is entirely true. That's why you need to choose friends who are optimistic and happy themselves, as you will be surrounded with positive energy.
9. Realize That You Don't Need Approval From Others
It's important to follow your own dreams and desires without letting naysayers stand in your way.
It's fine to seek others' opinions, but happy people stay true to their own hearts and don't get bogged down with the need for outside approval.
10. Accept What Can't Be Changed
Everything in your life is not going to be perfect, and that's perfectly all right.
Happy people learn to accept injustices and setbacks in their life that they cannot change, and instead put their energy into changing what they can control for the better.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara men's tennis team is playing on another level right now following yet another dominant performance defeating UC Irvine 7-0 for its fourth straight win of the year, the largest streak the team has held this season.
"We won the first sets on all six singles courts which shows how we got off to a great start and credit to UC Irvine for not giving up today but to sweep them is extremely impressive," Head Coach Marty Davis said.
The win also marked UCSB's (12-6 overall, 2-0 Big West) 10th home victory on the season with no losses. With just one game remaining at the Rec Cen Courts in Santa Barbara, the Gauchos know their goal of being perfect at home is literally inches away.
"We are right where we wanted to be at this point in the home season," Davis said. "We thought our conference schedule progressively gets tougher and so after UC Riverside coming home to play UC Davis will be tough but we are confident."
Santa Barbara's impressive 7-0 win is also the biggest margin of victory against UC Irvine (13-10 overall, 0-2 Big West) in program history and has now beaten the Anteaters in six straight matches. Despite being 11-4 in their last 15, the Anteaters two early conference losses is a big disappointment.
Before the match was played, both UCSB and UCI participated in an alumni match which also saw Santa Barbara come out the victor.
The Gauchos alumni, captained by former great Mike Ortiz, defeated the Anteaters 5-1 to regain the alumni cup after losing the last two seasons. Simon Shen, Morgan Mays, Zlad Sultan, Evan Jurgensen, Taylor Goggin, Geoff Crosby and Scott and Craig Cotich all participated as well for the winning UCSB team.
With all that added tennis, fans were cheering loud and proud all morning until the Gauchos took the court and even the UCSB pep band came out showing its full support which was a huge factor for the 'Chos early.
"We had a great atmosphere today thanks to our wonderful alumni and a great crowd and it was nice to win in front of them and carry on this legacy as best possible," Senior Simon Freund said. "UC Irvine was not giving up at all so I thought we all did a good job of maintaining focus to get the win."
As it has done the last few weeks, UCSB came out firing right away in doubles. For the eighth time in their last 10 games, the Gauchos came away with the opening point thanks to great performances at the top two courts.
"We are really starting to figure out our doubles lineup and I think we are very fortunate to have such a solid team on court one and allowing the rest of us as new pairs to get more comfortable and get going," Freund said.
Top UCSB duo consisting of juniors Anders Holm and Nicolas Moreno de Alboran won their third doubles match in their last four outings following a 6-2 win today pushing their record to 10-5. Redshirt freshman Joseph Rotheram and senior captain Simon Freund than brought home the point following a 6-3 win.
In singles, the top three courts continued their dominance with each of them earning a straight-set victory pretty early to help the Gauchos pull away early.
Sophomore transfer Joseph Guillin won his 14th game in his last 15 appearances with a 6-1, 6-2 win over UCI's Krasnov. Guillin lost both sets opening points but rallied to improve to a very impressive 15-2 mark on the season.
The No. 79 ranked player in the country also continued his dominance as Moreno de Alboran improved to 10-0 at home. The New York native took the first set rather easy and was up 4-1 in the second set before UCI's Lopez made it interesting taking the next two points. Moreno de Alboran would go on to win, however, 6-3, 6-3 for his third straight win.
Freund would seal the win with a 6-0, 6-4 win on court three to give the Gauchos the 4-0 lead. Not even a full couple of minutes later, Krustev picked up a 6-1, 6-4 win on court five to put the 'Chos up 5-0.
Over on court four, Holm had a split going through two sets after winning the first set 6-2 before dropping the second 3-6. With the match being sealed Holm and UCI's Gealer played a 10-point tiebreaker which saw Holm win 10-4 for his second win of the conference season.
Last but not least, junior transfer Hironori Koyanagi continued his confidence boost with yet another win on court six earning a 6-1, 1-6, 6-4 victory on the day to give the 'Chos the 7-0 win.
"We have options at six which is great and it allows us to match-up a little bit and have game styles that we like at the final spot so its nice to have that flexibility," Davis said.
Overall, Santa Barbara could not have asked a better start to the conference season. Not only did it dominate its two opponents but it did so with style not giving up a single point. Dating back the last three seasons, UCSB is 12-0 in conference games and while it never gets easier the wins also never get old.
"This is an opportunity match for us to win in order to get our ranking up where they should be and its on the road so we are hoping to get another nationally ranked win on the road," Davis said.
UCSB is back on the road to take on No. 37 LMU at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, April 10th at the LMU Tennis Center.

The Online Solution To Stop Fraud In Textile Market
With more monetary freedom at one's disposal, global consumerism is on an upswing. For the consumer fraternity, the textile market and apparel industry have been amongst the favorite sectors to shell out the bucks. The shift in demographic preferences can be easily figured out from the emerging market trends highlighting the global demand for apparels and the corresponding market competitions in place. The textile industry is representative of a variegated spectrum of activities ranging from cottage spinning and weaving sector at one end and capital intensive mills at the other.

Is The Internet The Right Stimulus For Indian Textile Industry?
India, the second-largest producer of textiles and garments, has been eyeing to be a sourcing hub, riding on the back of a skilled labor force and opulence of cheap raw materials. With Indian Textile Industry accounting for a quarter of the global spindle capacity, its potential size is speculated to reach US$23 billion by the end of this decade.
Being the second largest employment generating sector in the country after agriculture, Textile Industry has got a huge bearing on the country's economy. Hence, a holistic development of this sector is imperative for GDP expansion. Infusing the right kind of technology with this industry is definitely the roadmap to tap the entire market potential.

Ultrabooks, smart TVs, cloud printing and more. Take a look a look at the cool new products that will be arriving over the next 12 months.
January's Consumer Electronics Show, held in Las Vegas, is always a great place to find out about the cutting-edge new products that'll be released in the coming months, as well as giving an overview of predicted technology trends for the rest of the year.
This year's glittering showcase was no different, with around 20,000 new products from every area of the electronics market on offer. TV's, for example, are getting ever thinner and moving into the realms of convergence by having television and internet services combined inside one 'smart set' product.
Tablet computers look like taking an ever-larger share of the market too. Toshiba unveiled what is currently the world's thinnest tablet with its Excite C10, at just 7.7mm deep. Meanwhile, ultrabooks were also cited as big news, although it remains to be seen if these super-thin laptops will be popular enough to tempt consumers away from the appeal of a tablet device or smartphone.
Handset and camera heaven
CES showcased phones that offered improved connectivity thanks to 4G mobile technology on new handsets from HTC, Sony and Nokia. The former also introduced us to the mighty Titan II, which comes complete with a whopping 16-megapixel camera built-in. Sony showed off their Exmor R-equipped Xperia Ion, while Nokia raised hopes for their fortunes with the Lumia 900 and that too, had an impressive f2.2 aperture camera.
Meanwhile, latest digital camera models from Samsung featured Wi-Fi-enabled functionality. This is an innovation that allows you to share photos instantly, no matter what your location. With the Android operating system proving to be a huge hit with consumers, Samsung has also ensured that owners of the 21x optical zoom WB850F through to the 10-x optical zoom ST200F can sync up with their smartphones in order to offload and share images.
Camcorder connectivity
Camcorders from Canon arrived sporting Wi-Fi capabilities and the new Sony Bloggie Live pocket camcorder comes complete with a capacity for live streaming of footage. In addition, there were big-zoom lenses squeezed into pocket-sized compact cameras, including models from Canon, Olympus and Panasonic. All three showcased some diminutive new models that boasted impressive zoom capabilities. The Olympus 10x optical zoom VG-160, for example, is just 0.75 of an inch deep.
Software solutions
And, linking all of this activity together was an abundance of apps; the little software programs that make everyone's life easier one way or another. Even those smart set TV's are enlisting their help, but it's using apps in conjunction with tablets, smartphones and digital cameras where the really exciting stuff is happening.
Apps provide the best indicator for the high-tech year ahead, with digital printing being a key area for software development. Although many consumers tend to put a lot of their images online now, the market for printing out digital documents is a segment of the industry that's actually booming.
The main reason for this is because of mobile gadgetry, such as smartphones and tablets. Many people run their whole lives from these portable devices these days, so there's an increasing need to print digital photos and other documents on the move, which is a great way of complimenting your home printing set-up if you've got one of the latest All-in-One devices.
Quick, easy and convenient
Latest printer models from the likes of HP, Epson and Canon come with touch-and-go printing capacity meaning you can set the job up and simply let your printer get on with it. Better still, every one of the Kodak Hero All-in-One printer range automatically detects the paper size and subsequently predicts how much ink and paper will be required to get the job done.
Kodak offers an extra dimension to mobile printing thanks to its apps and the ingenious Home Center Software. One of the most exciting innovations is the capacity for printing on the go from a smartphone, laptop or tablet device using Google Cloud Print-enabled apps that include popular online tools including Gmail and Google Docs.
Your flexible friend
Owners can also send emails and attachments to their printer from anywhere in the world and using any email account, simply by calling on the power of the Email Print Service. Adding extra appeal is the way that friends and work colleagues can similarly send emails and attachments to your printer in exactly the same way, using any email account. Fans of handheld devices will also love the Document Print tool, which is available for the entire range of Android devices.
This means that anyone with a mobile gadget or gizmo can send documents, including web pages and Microsoft Office documents, from their mobile phone or tablet directly to an All-in-One printer using Google Cloud Print. It's also possible to send photos wirelessly to print directly from the likes of an iPhone, iPod touch, the iPad or BlackBerry devices too.
Powerful printing tools
Kodak Home Centre software also offers 3D photo printing, the capacity for printing directly from video plus tools for editing digital images. And, judging by the high-end cameras and camcorders that were unveiled at CES, it looks like 2012 could be the year when more of us move on up to join the ranks of more experienced shooters who want to print out the results using tools like these.
There was certainly plenty to choose from with Nikon, as a prime example, taking the covers off one of the grandest models of the show, with its $6,000 professional-level D4. This beauty has Full HD video at 1080p, a 10fps burst mode, an autofocus system that works at narrow aperture settings and a whole truckload of other high-tech goodies inside its delicious body.
Considerably cheaper, but no less impressive, is the Canon PowerShot G1 X with its full manual control options, HD video capacity, built-in ND filter and a 14.3-megapixel sensor. So then, if that's any kind of indication, 2012 looks like being a year packed full of smart TV's, tablets, printers, apps and, above all, premium cameras.

The State of Post-conflict Reconstruction: Land, Urban Development and State-building in Juba, Southern Sudan. By Naseem Badiey. James Currey Press, 2014.
The title of this book hints at the convergence of several fascinating topics, and situates the work within a growing literature relating national politics to more localized experiences. The intersection of urban perspectives and broader political dynamics also gets at something that is a focus of this website, which is why I am posting this review in the blog. Southern Sudan, subsequently South Sudan after independence in 2011, offers a relevant site for case studies of state-building, given its various claims to fame as the newest, most underdeveloped, and perhaps among the most politically fragmented nation-state in Africa. This book offers a fascinating exploration of perspectives on state-building and development and situates urban politics within broader fields of power in its critique of "top-down" planning and state-building. However, the attempt to render generalizable conclusions and the brief discussion and development of the author's specific case studies leave something wanting in the analysis.

A close friend of ours is visiting England. He's been there for some weeks, and he speaks of a frightening change as British society has quickly turned massively anti-semitic…
I've been in the United Kingdom (England) for about month, and looks like I'll be here until the chagim (the Jewish holidays in September).
There are times when societies have been more comfortable for Jews, and times when they've been less. But what I see happening on a sudden basis is the separation between the righteous and the other side, the good, the evil and those who will fall to the evil through simple indifference. And the separation between the nations and the Jewish people.
The largest of all the grocery food chains are removing all the kosher items. First this was all Israeli products. It's quickly moved to all Jewish products, and now to non-Jewish products that have kosher supervision. As you might imagine, if the top grocery chain suddenly declares it won't carry your product – and you added kosher supervision to attract more customers – you'd drop it pretty quick.
The food chains have announced they are doing this to be in "solidarity" with their Muslim customers and with the "poor Palestinians".
The second largest food chain is Jewish owned, but in this day and age profits win, and they have also announced they are removing kosher products. The kosher consumer now must shop within the religious Jewish neighborhoods of London or Manchester – there simply are no other sources of kosher food available.
Multiple British Members of Parliament, mayors and district councilmen have rushed to join the action. They've announced they are reviewing educational materials to make sure they're appropriately sanitized of anything positive towards Israel or Jews (not that the British were particularly positive towards either in the past). Israeli tourists are actively discouraged from their areas by decree, and while they can't decree an absence of Jews they can and are making Jewish presence unpleasant. (A number of Jewish day camps and vacationing chassidic groups have been requested to not come or their normal locations refused to rent to them).
There are daily anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, anti-Torah demonstrations across the country. Universities are actively supporting and propping up this behavior, and the police are acting "with a very light hand".
There are signs of the times everywhere. I am an obviously Jewish chassidic fellow, I literally don't own non-Jewish clothing styles. Everywhere I walk, for the first time in 30 years, I'm getting stares, comments, and aggressive "get in my face" stances. The Muslim population of the UK is everywhere, in large numbers and in the extreme dress of their religion. These Muslims make a point of letting you know you are not welcome.
I stood up to a Muslim who spit on me, both prepared to defend myself and to engage the authorities. However the local Jewish residents begged me not to take any action – too risky. There is a collapse of anything obviously or outwardly Jewish, it's "too risky". Even the Chabad synagogue was forced to change their name and signage – it's now the "Town Community and Student Center".
While it's no longer "safe" to be outwardly Jewish, it's not only safe but a defense against the authorities to be outwardly Muslim. Burkas and Jalabiyas are everywhere. I mean there are more freaking Muslims here that in the West Bank, certainly more "religious" ones. Yet you can go to jail for calling some a Muslim - its just as bad if not worse that the "n" word in the U.S. It's discrimination to use it, but all racial slurs are permitted if not openly encouraged when they are anti-Israel and anti-Jewish.
I tremble to think that it may be like stories from our great-grandparents in times before World War II. I pray daily to finish my trip and return home safely. How a Jew in England can survive outside of the main Jewish communities in Manchester and London, I don't know.

Reality television makes buying a fixer-upper home look like an easy, breezy walk in the park that the property backs onto. Gut the entire thing, happily knock down a few walls with a sledge hammer, rebuild the walls and maybe throw on a new roof, all thanks to the magic of television editing.
But the reality is that buying a fixer-upper and actually fixing it up requires time, patience and professional assistance. So we enlisted the help of real estate pro Julian Pilarski to share some of the warning signs to watch for while shopping for a house.
Read on to discover nine red flags to consider before buying a fixer-upper home.
1. Wet or damp foundations
Wet basements can be caused by a variety of issues, some more serious than others — a crack in the foundation walls can often be the culprit. This can be an expensive and laborious task to repair and can often result in repair bills costing tens of thousands of dollars. In most cases, however, a simple damp basement can be mitigated by controlling the water runoff outside through proper drainage around the perimeter of the home and by installing downspouts.
2. Structure
The structure of a home is made up of an intricate series of posts, beams and various other components. Occasionally, in an effort to create that "open plan" feel, people end up removing needed structural components. Think of it like Jenga — pulling the wrong block out can result in catastrophic failure. If structural work has been done, dig deep to find out if permits were issued so that the structure hasn't been compromised.
3. Additions
Additions are a great way to add space to an existing home. In Toronto's urban sprawl, for example, there are lots of century homes that often have extra rooms added on. Many of these additions, unfortunately, were built on improper foundations and are not structurally sound. Plus, they tend to not have a heat or cooling source. Don't be misled into thinking the extra square footage is a bonus — at least not without investigating first.
4. Abandoned projects
We've all probably seen half-completed renovations, and then wondered why the previous owners didn't just finish the job. In some cases, there can be legitimate reasons, but more often than not, it's best to proceed with caution. Why wasn't it completed? Look beyond the home itself. There could be latent defects, or possible resistance from neighbours or the municipality.
5. Zoning laws
Consult with the municipality regarding what's prohibited within the zoning limits. The building code is filled with restrictions — anything from the lot lines, amount of mandated "green space" and a plethora of outdated rules and regulations. If you're thinking big, your dreams can quickly be halted if you don't take the time to research your plans.
6. Basement height
The height of the basement can be very limiting to a property. Most people assume that basement heights can always be increased, and in some cases, this is correct. However, it's extremely expensive and is often limited by a maximum of 12 to 18 inches. Having a functional basement has become a must-have for most buyers, so make sure the height of it is satisfactory before making an offer.
7. Cover-ups
Fresh paint? Newly patched ceilings or brand new drywall in the basement? When things seem too good to be true, take a step back and evaluate. It goes without saying that you should always consult with professionals (home inspectors, realtors or experienced contractors). Often, those quick cover-ups are hiding much larger issues.
8. Electrical distribution systems
This is an area that's commonly overlooked and underestimated. A shiny, "new" electrical panel doesn't necessarily indicate that the entire electrical system has in fact been updated. Replacing the wiring in a home can cost tens of thousands of dollars and become a very aggravating process.
9. Beyond the house
Yes, you're buying the bricks and mortar that make up the home, but you're also buying into the area and the neighbours. Take a peek into the neighbour's yard, and consult with the city's planning department to learn about up and coming changes in zoning, parks, schools and anything else in the area. Because the last thing that you want to do is invest all of that money in a place that isn't worth it.
When it comes to home-ownership, understanding the big picture is always better.

Below is the recipe for Mimi Kirks Raw Vegan Lasagna.
She is one of my raw food inspirations.
the reason I've posted it on my blog, is you can only access it on the net via You tube rather then a written recipe, So this was directly cut and pasted from her notes under a photo on her Facebook page.
The only thing I didn't put in this time was the marinated mushrooms and it was still divine without them!
The only thing I didn't put in this time was the marinated mushrooms and it was still divine without them!
Mandolin slicer or sharp knife
Food processor
Dehydrator, (or oven can be used with door ajar on lowest degree of heat)
For best results, it's best to plan this dish a couple days ahead so the cheese can ferment. (it can also be made with out fermentation)
A Mandolin slicer can be purchased in several price ranges. It is a very useful tool for making beautiful even slices for your lasagna and has many other uses. You can use a knife to slice the zucchini into thin even slices if you don't have this tool.
My lasagna consists of three to four layers of noodles. I use a flat long plate that will fit in the dehydrator. The size you make is up to you. This recipe will make two plates of lasagna 4 inches wide and about 10 inches long. I don't use a Pyrex baking dish as you would in conventional lasagna as its harder to remove the portions unlike a regular lasagna where the cheese help it to stick together.
You will be making 3 sauces, one red pasta sauce, one pesto, and a one cheese and using 3-4 large zucchinis, mine were approximately 7 inches long and 5 inches around.
Make the cheese first as it preferred to sit overnight to ferment. You can use the cheese right away if needed, but its not quite as good. If you decide to use the cheese immediately, you will need to add more nuts to thicken the mixture. Add extra nuts after you have make the recipe so you can judge how many more nuts you may have to use to make a thick creamy mixture.
For the cheese
1 1/2 c cashews, soaked 4 hours
4 Tbs. Irish moss paste (you can leave this out, but for me it work to harden the cheese to the proper consistency) you can Google Irish Moss to learn more about it. To use Irish Moss, it must be soaked overnight to soften, then blended in water to make a smooth paste. Can be kept in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks after blended.
1/2 tsp Probiotics powder (to help fermenting and curing process)
1 Tablespoon of nutritional yeast (not raw)
1 tsp lemon juice
good pinch or two of salt
Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth. start with 1/2 c water and add more if needed to make smooth but thick mixture without any lumps. Add as little as you need and do not make it runny. Place a strainer over a bowl and line it with cheese cloth, Pour cheese mixture into a strainer and place another piece of cheesecloth on top. Wrap up the sides of the cloth to cover the mixture and place a weight on top just heavy enough to slowly and gently push out the extra liquid. Leave for 24 hours to culture at room temp. Finished cheese can be stored in the refrigerator for at least a week or so. Remove cheese from cloth and place in a container.
Slice and peel the zucchinis. Figure how many slices you will need. I use 6 strips slightly overlapped for each layer, so if you are making a 4 layer (this is what I suggest) you will need 24 strips total. You can cut strips to fit slightly overlapping. I usual make 2-3 platters instead of all in one as they are easier to cut and serve into individual portions.
For the pesto
2 Cups basil tightly packed
1-2 cloves garlic
½ cup walnuts or pinenuts or ¼ c of each
Approximately 2-3 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Generous pinch of salt or two.
Directions for pesto:
Place nuts and garlic in your food processor and pulse until broken down but still in small pieces. Add basil and salt, pulse while slowly adding olive oil thru the feed tube until smooth and creamy.
Scrape out pesto and place in a bowl.
(you do not have to rinse the food processor from the pesto residue to make the red sauce)
For the pasta sauce
3 medium tomatoes (to measure 2 C when cut in quarters)
1 1/2 c sundried tomatoes, soaked for 15-20 minutes...soaking time varies as dried tomatoes are sometimes pieces, halves or strips the tomatoes should feel soft when ready to use.
2 cloves garlic
1 Tablespoon Tamari, Nama Shoyu or Braggs
Dash of pepper
1 1/2 Tablespoons of Italian herbs, thyme, rosemary, basil, marjoram
Good pinch or two of salt and pepper
If you like a little spice add a pinch of dried chilies or tiny piece of jalapeño pepper.
Directions for sauce:
Place the sundried tomatoes in your food processor and pulse a few times to break down slightly, add the fresh tomatoes, garlic, tamari, salt, pepper and herbs, and pulse until well combined. The sauce should be thick and slightly chunky.
Optional, but I always use these items to place on layers, raw olives sliced or chopped, capers, and very thinly sliced marinated in tamari and olive oil Portobello mushrooms.
To assemble
I do not use a Pyrex dish with high sides as it's harder to cut and remove the pasta portions. I use a long plates that will fit in the dehydrator…or if you don't have a dehydrator, an oven on the lowest degree with the door ajar will do.
Place a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the platter you are using. Overlap slices of noodles to desired width and length. Spread a thin layer of cheese on top of the noodles covering all the zucchini. Sprinkle some raw sliced black olives and capers over the top of the cheese.
Place second layer of noodles on top and lightly press down.
Top this layer with pesto spread to cover the zucchini slices.
Place third layer of noodles on top and lightly press down.
Top this layer with more cheese and add sliced marinated Portobello mushrooms. Make sure to squeeze the liquid out of the mushrooms before placing on the sauce.
Place fourth layer on noodles on top and lightly press down and top this with a nice layer of the pasta sauce.
I like to marinate heirloom cherry tomatoes of all colors for about 15 minutes or so, cut in half placed in a bowl and squeeze pressed garlic, a few dashes of olive oil, cut basil, salt and pepper, mix lightly to incorporate flavors.
Place the mixture on top of your lasagna with extra sliced basil.
You can also make a Parmesan nut cheese, by putting a generous handful of cashews (not soaked) in you food processor, add 1 clove garlic and a generous pinch of salt. You want this on the salty side.
Pulse until it looks like Parmesan cheese. I like to finish off the lasagna with the cheese to give it the cooked look.
Warm I your dehydrator at 105 degrees until just wilted about 1 hour or so. Just until slightly warm.
Cut with a very sharp knife to make individual servings.

Study Shows How Cell Phone Use Upsets Social Bonds
by Gavin O'Malley on Aug 27, 9:00 AM
Suddenly awash in connected gadgets, our culture is struggling mightily to establish acceptable mobile computing customs. Distracted driving is thriving, and costing thousands of lives a year. And gadgets are mentally (and emotionally) distancing people who are actually within close physical confines. While the latter issue rarely has fatal consequences, it is seriously threatening relationships and social bonds, says Lee Rainie, Pew Research Center Director of Internet, Science and Technology Research.

It has little, if anything, to do with your hamstrings relaxing, or perfecting an arm balance. Not that I don't love arm balances.
On the night of August 11th, I was standing on my balcony, talking to a beloved friend on the phone. As I began to tell him about the Perseid meteor showers that happen around August 12 every year…
I looked up at the sky, gesturing toward the stars (I always gesture, even when my yoga students eyes are closed in savasana!), and..Lo, and Behold!
It was as if my fingertip traced a falling star across the sky! Whoosh!
I spoke, and the very thing I was speaking of manifested before my eyes…
My teacher Rod Stryker says (from Swami Rama), you know your practice is working when your life becomes more joyful, more fearless, and the time it takes from when you set your intention and it manifesting gets shorter and shorter.
I believe my practice is working just fine.
Pay attention (if you have to pay something, pay attention).
When you notice this happening for you…comment, please!

Product Overview
A rather attractive scavenger and a personable aquarium curiosity, the Gold Dojo Loach makes a great addition to the freshwater community aquarium. Effective in its scavenging as it sifts through the substrate, this eel-like loach is a scaleless fish that is golden-pink in color. Also known as the Yellow Oriental Weatherfish, its mouth is surrounded by ten barbels that enable its search for morsels that have gone uneaten by higher-swimming inhabitants. A carnivore, it will do fine with any foods, but an occasional feeding of blackworms or bloodworms will be eagerly accepted and will help ensure best coloration. The Gold Dojo Loach is completely passive toward other fish - even small fish - and is compatible with others of its own species
Scientific Name: Misgurnus anguillicaudatus

Agency Membership
$185.00 / yearRegister
An agency membership "belongs" to your eligible agency and is transferable to another employee within the same agency. It is typically paid for by the agency or reimbursed to the employee by the agency. Agencies assign a membership to an individual. If the individual stops working for the agency, then the agency may re-assign the membership to another staff member. The annual membership fee is non-refundable. Membership lasts for one full year from the date of approval and you will receive notification 30 days prior if you would like to renew.
Individual Membership
$185.00 / yearRegister
An individual membership "belongs" to individuals who work for an eligible agency, is non-transferable to anyone else and is typically paid for by individuals rather than their agency. Because you are paying for this membership out of your own pocket, you may retain the remainder of your membership if you move to another eligible agency. Note that if you leave public service altogether, we reserve the right to discontinue your membership, as GSMO is not open to private industry. The annual membership fee is non-refundable. Membership lasts for one full year from the date of approval and you will receive notification 30 days prior if you would like to renew.

I spoke to Tyran Cooper, the Brand Manager for Coreban at Xpression on the Beach in Muizenberg recently regarding SUP Paddles and here is what he had to say:
What makes a good beginner paddle for surfing, cruising & touring respectively?
Blade size is a key when choosing a paddle. The size of blade can be looked at the same way as gears on the bike, where a bigger blade (ore higher gear) will take more power to pull through the water, and in turn require a stronger paddler. While a smaller blade size will pass through the water easier and require less energy to be pulled through the water, like a lower gear on a bike. As there is less resistance on a smaller blade you will find that there is less impact on your body resulting in a lower chance of injury.
Therefore as a beginner, finding a paddle with a smaller blade size (relative to your body mass) is key, for both efficiency and injury prevention.
The Second factor mentioned is Paddle length. A paddle which is too short will result in a more hunched paddling position and in turn put strain on your back. While a paddle which is too long, will cause an over extension and rolling of the shoulders and put strain on the joint. We suggest a paddle 10–15cm taller than yourself.
Other things to consider….
Fixed vs Adjustable
If you are looking for a paddle for yourself I would suggest always go fixed shaft over adjustable, as the strength flex and weight are far better. Adjustable paddles are great and have their place in the family one paddle scenario but as a person specific paddle a fixed shaft is far better.
Blade angle
The angle which the blade joins the shaft is referred to as the blade angle, the flatter the angle the shorter the stroke, which makes for a faster paddle rate or cadence, generally suited to wave riding where you would use a shorter quicker stroke for acceleration in order to catch a wave. A bigger angle will allow for a longer stroke and which will suit a slower cadence i.e for touring.
There are many different materials to choose from, from wood to aluminum and 100s of composites in between, the most popular being Carbon and Fiberglass.
The cost of a paddle will vary depending on its construction and paddles can vary in price from R1000 for an Aluminum adjustable paddle to R8000 for the top Carbon paddle. Each of these materials has their own pros and cons, while an Aluminum paddle may be a good value for money it will also be heavy and very stiff, and a carbon paddle has great strength to weight ratio it is also more expensive.
A paddle is a personal object and should be treated as such, so take time to feel it in your hand. If you are still uncertain you could even come ask for a demo at the shop.

WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? – New York/Massachusetts – Winners – 2009
Directors Pamela Tanner Boll, Nancy Kennedy
Documentary – 73 minutes
In a half-changed world, women are often forced to choose: Mothering or working? Your children's well-being or your own own? Responsibility or self expression? Who Does She Think She Is?, a documentary by Academy Award winning filmmaker Pamela Tanner Boll, features five fierce women who refuse to choose. Through their lives, we explore some of the most problematic intersections of our time: mothering and creativity, partnering and independence, economics and art. Along the way, the film invites us to consider both ancient legacies of women worshiped as cultural muses and more modern times where most people can't even name a handful of female artists. In the end, the diverse women in the film demonstrate that our creativity and our care-giving are not mutually exclusive, but deeply connected. In fact, their co-existence might just be the key to finishing the job.

We were delighted to welcome Diane J. Tedick, one of the nation's top researchers in dual language immersion (DLI) education to West Michigan this week. Dr. Tedick led a series of discussions about what research in DLI shows us, and the kind of persistence and commitment it takes to run an effective DLI program. As she put it, "Immersion educators have a very difficult job, but teachers with support from add.a.lingua have a huge advantage."

text: About us Vision and values Strengths and solutions focused Young people are helped to examine their core strengths, areas of interest and work-ready competencies, and on our educational courses, this is done in the light of our 'Journey to Work' framework. This framework was developed by a range of partner businesses and is a comprehensive table of vital skills and qualifications young people need to be ready for work experience, and eventually employment. Those we work with can clearly chart their progress along the path to their goals, and we celebrate 'quick wins' to boost confidence and encourage full engagement in the journey to wellbeing and work. The nuts and bolts of this approach include: Asking questions, rather than 'selling' answers Listening for and reinforcing evidence of the strengths, resources and competence Working with what young people can do, not what they can't Finding out what young people are already doing that is helpful and exploring ways to amplify their strategies Focusing on the details of the solutions not the problems Developing individual action plans which work Working in partnership with other organisations that bring complementary support and different opportunities In short we help young people see their innate capabilites, develop them in a goal focused way, and overcome problems through positive practical strategies.
