Roast Carrot and Avocado Salad with Orange and Lemon Dressing
Recipe courtesy of Jamie Oliver
- Jamie at Home
If you're going to use cooked carrots in a salad you've got to make it with some attitude! This fantastic Moroccan-style salad combines[ roast carrots with avocados - and because they have the same texture in your mouth, I thought I'd add the chargrilled flavor and crunch of toasted ciabatta to round things off. With spices, seeds, sour cream and a delicious citrus dressing, you've got a winner.]
- 1 pound medium mixed colored carrots, with their leafy tops
- Sea salt
- 2 level teaspoons whole cumin seeds
- 1 or 2 small dried chiles, crumbled
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Red or white wine vinegar
- 1 orange, halved
- 1 lemon, halved
- 3 ripe avocados
- 4 (1/2-inch thick) slices ciabatta or other good-quality bread
- 2 handfuls interesting mixed winter salad leaves (like Treviso, arugula, radicchio or cavolo nero tops), washed and spun dry
- 2 bunches watercress
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons mixed seeds, toasted
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Parboil the carrots in boiling, salted water for 10 minutes, until they are very nearly cooked, then drain and put them into a roasting pan. You should flavor them while they're steaming hot, so while the carrots are cooking get a pestle and mortar and smash up the cumin seeds, chilles, salt and pepper. Add the garlic and thyme leaves and smash up again until you have a kind of paste. The idea here is to build up the flavors. Add enough extra-virgin olive oil to generously cover the paste, and a good swig of vinegar. This will be like a marinade, a rub and a dressing all in one! Stir together, then pour over the carrots in the pan, coating them well. Add the orange and lemon halves, cut side down.
These will roast along with the carrots, and their juice can be used as the basis of the dressing. Place in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden.
While the carrots are roasting, halve and peel the avocados, discarding the pits, then cut them into wedges lengthwise and place in a big bowl. Remove the carrots from the oven and add them to the avocados. Carefully, using some tongs, squeeze the roasted orange and lemon juice into a bowl and add the same amount of extra-virgin olive oil and a little swig of red wine vinegar. Season, and pour this dressing over the carrots and avocados. Mix together, have a taste and correct the seasoning. Call your gang round the table while you toast or broil your ciabatta slices.
Tear the toasted bread into little pieces and add to the dressed carrot and avocado. Mix together, toss in the salad leaves and cress and transfer to a big platter or divide between individual plates. Spoon over a nice dollop of sour cream, sprinkle over your toasted seeds and drizzle over some extra-virgin olive oil.

The MBT Ruzuna is a casual women's slip-on shoe with elastic goring for the perfect fit. The unique multi-layered sole and Masai sensor emulates the feeling of walking on sand.
MBT shoes change the way you use your body so that your muscles, back, and joints work as a unit to compensate for the shoe's natural instability. The unique multi-layered sole and Masai sensor help you to achieve improved posture and balance, strengthen and tone muscles, and reduce pressure on your joints as it emulates the feeling of walking on sand. The rolling motion of MBT shoes is greatly beneficial to those with plantar fasciitis and other types of foot problems.
MBT Ruzuna Coffee Nappa Leather Women's Shoe
Features include:
Fit Runs Large, Order a Full Size Down
This MBT style features removable insoles so that you can add your own orthotic insoles. Although to fully benefit from the MBT technology the MBT shoes should be worn without orthotics.
If you have any questions you can find the answers in our MBT Shoes Frequently Asked Questions section.
Wearing MBT Shoes for the first time? Watch the MBT Shoes Instructional Video
The MBT Index simplifies the process of finding the right level of MBT shoe for your needs. It ranks MBT into one of three categories, starting at Activate, our least level of rock, and progressing through Dynamic and ending with our highest level of rock, Performance.
For years I have been looking for winter slippers on rocker bars. Lol my feet get cold! These loafers are too wide for my narrow feet but with merino wool socks they are perfect! Like one reviewer said the leather is soft making these shoes very comfortable. Hope this helps someone and Merry Christmas!
I own this shoe in every color and love it. It is a shoe I can wear just about anywhere. I love the arch support in the MBT shoes.
I was lucky to get this one when there was a $50 off for all MBTs. I actually bought two shoes and this was one of them. This is my 4th MBT and i love it. It's very comfortable! Once you wear MBTs it seems so hard to wear other shoes already because it cannot be compared. But then MBTs are very expensive so i wait on the sale. This one looks like a boy shoe so it's really good with slacks. I love MBT and i love Footwear. There's no difficulty returning or exchanging. I first purchased in Amazon and the shoes didn't fit and i had to pay for shipment if i want to exchange it. I found Footwear and i love that i don't have to pay for return in case the shoes doesn't fit. Wonderful deal!
I ordered a size smaller than usual (a 35 instead of a 36), and the shoes fit perfectly. There are no gaps in the back and no tightness in the front. After a long day of being on my feet, the left shoe is a little tight, probably from the swelling of my feet. However, because they are leather, I am confident that the shoes will eventually stretch and conform to my feet. As a HUGE fan of MBTs, these shoes are great for work. They're professional enough for the office. I always wear them with pants, because the chunky, rounded sole looks odd in a skirt.
These shoes are very soft, comfortable, true to size, and attractive. Coffee Nappa is incredible color even though it was not my first choice, There was no US size: 6-6.5 in Cognac Nappa, i ordered Coffee instead and feel extremely fortunate! The sole is soft and so comfortable; it's hard to believe the shoes looking so stylish make you feel waking barefoot on sand.
These shoes are incredibly soft and would be comfortable for me if i ordered the right size. I usually wear 6.5 and with the European or narrow shoes go 0.5 size lager. My feet are not terribly wide but many years of skiing left their "footprint". These shoes were not at all narrow (at least for me), made of the very soft skin. I ordered full size up (7) and sank in them. There are unfortunately no Cognac Napa in 6-6.5, so i would order black or brown to get the right size of this style. Footwear etc. is just perfect for me since the 3-day shipping to and back is FREE. I've got a very painful experience with the cheaper MBTs ($99.00 - $129.00 a pair plus almost free shipping) right from China(!): ordered the shoes in May 2014, received them a month later in all wrong sizes, mailed them back with the USPS, insured, which cost me almost $80.00, and got them lost. The USPS is still searching my shoes in the vast areas of that foreign country, and it is August today. I'm happy to be Footwear etc. fan now.
These look so attractive on, the cognac leather is a beautiful color. The leather is soft and comfortable from the start for those of us with sensitive feet we appreciate that. Sometimes I have a problem with pressure from a slip on or lace shoe on the top of my foot, I had no problem with this shoe at all. Order a size down and plan to wear socks with them as they are roomy in width.
This is a beautiful shoe. - very stylish and comfortable.
This shoe runs big, at least a full size. It has a deep toe box for those who need that additional space. This is a great slip on loafer for those dressier outfits but can be dressed down.

Topic: Host advice - rails and php and idiot friendly!
I'm not at the stage where I need to look for a host for the rails app I'm developing (mainly because it needs to be organised by the end of March). I need something that I can move our three existing PHP sites over to because I've been asked to consolidate everything onto one server.
The PHP sites are currently hosted at 1and1.co.uk where I've had to put them on a managed server because we were hitting the database too much - so something that's good regarding databases is important.
We need something that can have multiple domain names pointing at different sites (the php ones and the ruby one). (The domains are managed by another agent so being able to handle that sort of thing isn't important).
I've been looking at VPS but I'm nervous about this idea. I want something where most things will be set up as default. While I have plenty of Linux/Ubuntu experience I have no real admin experience and would consider myself an intelligent user of Linux but nothing more (I can install things, I can solve dependency issues, but I've never set up a server for anything other than localhost access and I have a Smoothwall firewall so have little experience of things like that). So I need something where PHP/Ruby/MySQL (preferably v. 5) are installed and set up by default. I don't want to worry about things like securing the server or firewalls or anything like this - which is why I currently have a managed server. I really like the idea of rimuhosting.com but I'm nervous that I might need more admin experience than I have.
Dreamhost is out of the question - while I'm happy to use them for my personal site I wouldn't want to rely on them for a business site. Plus I really think we need more than shared hosting.
Suggestions, recommendations, ideas? Would rimuhosting be suitable or would I be in over my head?
(A UK-based host would be fantastic if anyone knows of any)

Graduate Fellowships
All admitted doctoral students receive full tuition scholarships covering the annual cost of graduate study. In addition, doctoral students also generally receive fellowship stipends of $18,000 per year for five years.
An application automatically makes students eligible for two University-wide fellowships: the Sproull Fellowship and the Dean's Graduate Fellowship. Both of these stipends currently provide $22,000 to eligible students during years they receive the fellowship.
Students may elect to participate in the College Writing Program during their third and fourth years, for a total compensation of $15,000 in each of those years. Students participating in the program will also receive a $3,000 grant for training. In this program, students will design and run their own section of the "Writing and Reasoning" course taught through the College of Arts and Sciences. Students participating in the College Writing Program are also eligible to teach such courses in their fifth and sixth year of study for additional compensation.
The Department is proud to be able to offer admitted MA students a half-tuition scholarship.
Writing Fellowships
The Writing Center, which is part of the College of Arts and Science, provides extra stipends ($1,500 per course) to History students who participate in the teaching of CAS 105: Writing and Reasoning in the College. The final two years of the History Department Fellowship is provided in conjunction with the Writing Program.
Participation in the Writing Program allows graduate students to develop their own courses. A $2,000 grant is provided to students to participate in English 571, a pedagogy course to train instructors.
Graduate students can also apply for Writing Fellowships in their fifth and sixth years. Currently these fellowships provide $12,000 to eligible students.

Microsoft Corp. on Thursday started to sell its highly-anticipated Kinect motion sensor in the U.S. The device promises to revolutionize video games as it allows to control them without any physical controllers, just with gestures and movements of a body. Priced at $149, Kinect sensor is now available in 30 thousand stores nation-wide.
"Kinect transforms entertainment and introduces Xbox 360 to millions of new people — families, friends and people of all ages. Years of research and a team of engineers and artists have created something approachable, simple and affordable that everyone can enjoy," said Don Mattrick, president of the interactive entertainment business at Microsoft Corp.
The Kinect sensor can be plugged directly into any Xbox 360 and features a camera, audio sensors, and motion-sensing technology that tracks 48 points of movement on the human body. Kinect has the ability to recognize faces and voices. Kinect can perform full-motion tracking of the human body at 30 frames per second.
Microsoft itself expects to sell three million Kinect motion sensors this holiday season. Meanwhile, analysts from IDC believe that the software giant would sell three million of Kinect devices in the U.S. alone, making the product the best-selling add-on for Xbox 360 game console in just several months. The new sensor is Microsoft's answer to Nintendo Wii game console, which motion-sensing controllers allowed it to outsell both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 combined.
The all-in-one Xbox 360 4GB console with Kinect bundle includes the new Xbox 360 slim 4GB console, Kinect sensor and "Kinect Adventures" game is priced at $299.99.
On a side note, Microsoft also announced that it would donate Xbox 360 4GB consoles with a Kinect sensor along with two games - "Kinect Adventures" and "Kinect Sports" - to thousands of Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide.

About this blog
I See Elsie
The Ithaca College London Centre
Friday, October 12, 2012
Mid-term break seems to have hit us. It's like the Apocalypse has fallen upon the London Center. I feel a bit like Will Smith having survived. I've always wondered what it's like to be a legend...
Students are flitting in and out, collecting their passports and any forgotten items so that they can flee the country or at least get some respite away from exams and studies. Don't forget us though! We shall still be here throughout the week. Working…
Since I hear the majority of you are flying to lands far far away (Italy, Spain, Holland etc…) I would like to share some pearls of travel wisdom of my own in an attempt to cheer myself up. I also hope that this serves as inspiration for the current ICLC students to write some pieces about their travels for this blog.
"No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow."
A quote I recently found and 'favourited' on Twitter. Quite frankly I don't usually like deep and sentimental phrases but something about this one really hit home and made me smile. I've been fortunate over the last four years to have travelled quite extensively, telling friends and family it was imperative if I wanted to succeed with my language learning. I have volunteered in Costa Rica, run around a maze dressed as a clown – 'working' - on the island of Menorca, studied in Mexico (climbed some volcanoes too…) and I have worked in a rather up market hotel on the Amalfi coast in Italy. Diversity certainly appeals to me. As does a challenge. I liked arriving on foreign lands with a guidebook in hand and a rough idea of what to expect from the next few months. However it's not until you land safely back in the comfort of your own home and look back on what you have learnt, achieved and more often than not struggled with that you really appreciate the distance you have travelled. Before I left for Costa Rica, a 17 year old angel (…) never would I have imagined that on my 18th birthday I would be teaching kindergarteners the "Happy Birthday" song, slaughtering chickens (for meat purposes) and dancing to Latin beats until the sun came up. What I've really learnt from these past few years is that anything really is possible. And probable. So why am I continuing to ramble about this to you? Well. Having been an international student on two different continents and having safely come out the other side of Higher Education, I would say that your University years are a truly educating experience and your time abroad will teach you as much about yourself as it will about others. Grab each and every opportunity, make the most of new experiences, try something new, because before you know it you will be resting your head on that familiar pillow wondering where all of that time went.
Have a fantastic mid-term break. Stay safe. Give your brain a well deserved rest. I've included some favourite photos of mine below...
Yep. That's me beneath the Gandalf costume...

Cramer Quick Take: Microsoft: the Growth Stock of Yesteryear?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Is Microsoft (MSFT) your father's and grandfather's growth stock? Jim Cramer told Debra Borchardt at TheStreet Thursday the markets are re-evaluating the multiples given to stocks like Microsoft and Apple (AAPL) , a stock which he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, and the new multiples are far less than in the past.
Cramer said with Apple trading at 8.6 times earnings with a 17% growth rate, it's hard to see how Microsoft, trading at 8.2 times earnings with just a 9.5% growth rate, can justify its valuation. He said for the younger generation of investors, stocks like Microsoft aren't viewed as the hot growth stocks that they must own. Instead, stocks like Amazon (AMZN) and Netflix (NFLX) currently hold those titles.
So what is a fair value for Microsoft? Cramer said he thinks the stock could bump up between $1 to $3 a share, but it could also lose $1 while the market trying to put a new value on stagnated growth.

text: In September 2010, Dr. Patrick Gallagher, Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), charged the Smart Grid Advisory Committee (SGAC) with providing input to NIST on: (1) the Smart Grid standards, priorities, and gaps, and (2) the overall direction, status, and health of Smart Grid implementation by the Smart Grid industry, including identifying issues and needs. The SGAC formed four subcommittees to address this challenge. Over the ensuing 14 months, the subcommittee members have worked with and interviewed Smart Grid industry stakeholders, including industry associations, companies, and state and federal regulators, to gather, consider, and analyze information and produce this status report. It should be noted that the content and recommendations found in this report are premised on the many industry interviews that were conducted prior to September 2011 and may not reflect discussions, initiatives, activities, or developments that are subsequently taking place within the SGIP or other stakeholder forums. Through its efforts, the SGAC has identified several common emerging themes across the diverse Smart Grid stakeholder landscape.

Cops seize guns, drugs, counterfeit cash at East Spokane home
SPOKANE, Wash. - Police raided a home at 27 S. Haven Street morning on a firearms related search warrant, recovering guns, counterfeit cash and drugs.
That home is directly across from Libby Center School and because of that the SWAT team was there helping execute the warrant as a precaution. Detectives questioned three people and eventually arrested 34-year-old Kevin Chastain.
Chastain, a nine-time convicted felon, has a long criminal record including forgery, first degree theft, residential burglary, and trafficking stolen property.
"This is a bad actor; this is a guy who is a few hundred feet away from where our children are going to school … we are not going to tolerate that kind of behavior," Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub said during a Friday afternoon press conference.SWAT raid
Spokane Police Detective Doug Orr said that Chastain, who has ties to a white supremacist group, was not only in possession of several firearms, but police also found meth inside the home.
Orr called this a 'good day' because information from the public helped get dangerous people and illegal weapons off the streets.
"The detective involved in this case has spoken with me and says that due to a series of informants, this investigation came about. This is something that was in the works for quite a while," said Orr.
During his press conference, Straub laid out everything that was found inside the residence: guns, counterfeit cash, drug paraphernalia.
"We will not tolerate this activity in this neighborhood," Straub said.
The raid was the culmination of a lengthy investigation and the help of informants.
"Today's search warrant once again demonstrates the bravery and dedication of our officers who went into a residence where they knew firearms would be present," Straub said. "In fact that they knew at least one of those individuals in the house had his own indoor firing range and yet they put their lives on the line again to reduce crime and violence in this community."
In addition to the guns, counterfeit cash and drugs recovered from the home, police also found cellphone tower repair equipment that is reportedly worth $200,000. It's all now evidence to be used to build a case against Chastain.
"We are going out and will be relentless in pursuing these types of individuals who threaten our children, who threaten our neighborhoods," Straub said.
Pending further investigation, the two individuals police questioned but did not arrest may also face charges.

Improving the ability to predict falls among older adults following inpatient rehabilitation
- College of Nursing, Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing, New York University, New York, USA
- Correspondence to Laura M Wagner
College of Nursing, Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing, New York University, 726 Broadway, 10th floor, NY 10003; USA; lmw9{at}nyu.edu
Implications for practice and research
■ The simple tool furthers our understanding of the key variables that could be predictive of falls following a rehabilitation stay.
■ Collaboration with other members of the healthcare team may be necessary to complete the tool such as sway assessment since nurses may not be readily trained in how to complete one.
■ Future research should focus on testing the predicted probability of falling in high-risk groups after being discharged from rehabilitation such as stroke survivors and those with cognitive impairments.
Falls in the older people continue to challenge healthcare providers in all care settings. This is especially true …

According to Kids and Gaming 2009, the most recent report from market research company NPD Group, among all kids in the U.S. ages 2-17, 82%, or 55.7 million, are current gamers. What is interesting is that as teens get older, they tend to spend less time on video games.
NPD claims that of 55.7 million, 9.7 million are ages 2-5, representing the smallest segment, while 12.4 million are ages 9-11, and represent the largest segment.
According to the report, across all age groups, kids use an average of 2.5 systems or devices for gaming, with kids ages 9-11 and 12-14 using the most (each about 3 system/devices on average). Gaming on non-traditional gaming devices such as cell phones and PDMPs becomes more popular as kids get older and peaks among older teens ages 15-17.
When it comes to online gaming, over half (51%) of kid gamers play games online, and are more inclined to be male, ages 9-14.
At 10.6 hours per week, gamers ages 12-14 are spending the most time playing video games, with the time spent playing dropping off among older teens, ages 15-17. Teens 15-17 and females are the groups that are most likely to report spending less time gaming and playing online this year versus last year.
"The decline in teen usage of video games is likely due to diversifying, maturing interests, which translates into stiffer competition for their mind and wallet share. In addition to competition from other areas of the entertainment space, more school work, activities, and parent-imposed time limits on gaming are factors which the data suggests may be contributing to this dip in older teen engagement," Anita Frazier, an industry analyst for NPD Group.

Metro Aquatic League Eligibility
We are an Aquatic Team, consisting of both Water Polo and Swimming combined. Note that playing Water Polo in a manner that makes you ineligible also removes your eligibility from Swimming, and vice versa. Not Eligible applies to the entire Aquatic Team, both Water Polo and Swimming, regardless. For further questions regarding eligibility, contact the League Director. Because of the emphasis on fun and continued learning of the competitive aquatic basics, there will be eligibility requirements. Those requirements are as follows:
- Any individual who has practiced with a United States Swimming Team after March 31, 2015 is not eligible.
- A participant must be able to cross the length of the pool without stopping or assistance. This is a huge safety factor during practices and meets.
- Any individual who participates in the Sundance Aquatic League is not eligible.
- Any swimmer who has met New Mexico Swimming State qualifying times is not eligible.
- Any Water Polo Player who has played for NMWP or any USWP team after March 31, 2015 is not eligible.
- Any participant that has swam or played water polo for a High School is not eligible.
- Any participant in High School is not eligible.
- Any participant who is currently employed by the City of Albuquerque Aquatics Section in any capacity is not eligible.
- Any participant who is 15 years old or older by the Metro League Water Polo Championship Tournament or City Swim meet is not eligible.
- A swimmer's age as of June 1st will determine the age group in which that swimmer will compete.
- Violations of these rules will result in stiff penalties such as forfeiture of water polo games or disqualification from all Metro Aquatic League Swimming activities. Please take the time to insure that your information is correct. By doing so, you are insuring that everyone will have a fair environment in which to compete.
These criteria were formed over several years, with input from at least 6 USS certified coaches, 2 USWP coaches, and several City of Albuquerque League Directors. They are designed to maximize our participation, while retaining our goals of being an entry level program, and being fair for everyone. We want children who are capable of participating at the higher level of USS or USWP to remain there and learn. While they may enjoy being the "star" of a Metro League team, in reality, this can hurt their confidence when they compete at a higher level, and can teach them bad habits that take their coaches many months to break, and can frustrate and confuse the participant.

We got this e-mail in the totalkunstsubmissions email:
I called into the forest yesterday to ask about storing a sculpture I have made. The lady I spoke to asked me to contact you via your forum but it wont let me register? So I am contacting you this way instead.
I have recently completed a large sculpture at my art school in Leith. It hangs from the ceiling and is about 2.5m across and a couple of meters tall. Its made of thick wire, newspaper, parcel tape and wrapped in a soft fleecy material. So its not too heavy.
The art school have suggested that I submit it for some exhibitions this coming summer. There is one in Dundee by the SSA in May. However the art school is too small to leave the sculpture in in the mean time. I was therefor hoping that I could store/display it in the forest. It would look good above the stage.
The piece was itself inspired my the music of Felix Mendelssohn.
Here are some photos.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahthebu ... 3348/show/
I need to move it out of the art school buy next monday!
Thanks for your time, I hope to hear from you soon.
Sarah Dale
Check out the photos. Giv some feedback!
I really like it! and i dont think it would clutter the space either.

- The name "viperfish" is also sometimes applied to the lesser weever.
A viperfish is a saltwater fish in the genus Chauliodus, with long, needle-like teeth and hinged lower jaws. They grow to lengths of 30 to 60 cm (12 - 24 inches).[2] Viperfish stay near lower depths (250–5,000 feet) in the daytime and shallow at night. Viperfish mainly stay in tropical and temperate waters. It is one of the fiercest predators in the very deep part of the sea and is believed to attack its prey by luring the victim close to itself with a light producing organ. This organ is called a photophore and is located on the end of its dorsal spine. It flashes this natural light on and off while at the same time moving the dorsal spine around like a fishing rod and hanging completely still in the water, and also uses the voluntary natural light producing organ to communicate to its potential mates and rivals. Viperfish vary in color between green, silver and black. It uses its fang-like teeth to immobilize its prey, and would not be able to close its mouth because of their length if it were not able to curve them behind its head. The first vertebra behind the head of the viperfish is known to absorb the shock of its attacks, which are mainly targeted against dragonfish and other small creatures. They are able to undergo long periods with scarcely any food.
Viperfish are believed to live from 30 to 40 years in the wild, but in captivity they rarely live more than a few hours. Some species of dolphins and sharks are known to prey upon viperfish. Scientists believe that viperfish can swim at a speed of two body lengths per second, but this is not yet an official speed.
There are currently nine recognized species in this genus: [3]
- Chauliodus barbatus Garman, 1899
- Chauliodus danae Regan & Trewavas, 1929 (Dana viperfish)
- Chauliodus dentatus Garman, 1899
- Chauliodus macouni T. H. Bean, 1890 (Pacific viperfish)
- Chauliodus minimus Parin & Novikova, 1974
- Chauliodus pammelas Alcock, 1892
- Chauliodus schmidti Ege, 1948
- Chauliodus sloani Bloch & J. G. Schneider, 1801 (Sloane's viperfish)
- Chauliodus vasnetzovi Novikova, 1972

However, student safety is of paramount importance. Purdue students will not face school discipline for illegally drinking alcohol if they seek medical attention while they are drunk or someone they help is drunk.
The medical amnesty policy is aimed at making sure those who are hurt while intoxicated or suffer from alcohol poisoning don't hesitate to get help. The policy says that if you seek help, both you and the intoxicated student will be pardoned from the disciplinary sanctions that come with breaking both Indiana state law and University policies. Be sure to know all of Purdue's policies on alcohol by reading "Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Policy Guide" at www.purdue.edu/aod.
- If you're 18 or over and are charged with violating an alcohol law, you will always have an arrest record.
- Minor alcohol violations can impact certification or licensure in your fi eld, and even future employment opportunities at the company of your dreams.
- If you plan to attend graduate or professional school after you earn your Purdue degree, know this: Admissions offices often call the University to see if there are any conduct issues on students' permanent records.
What to look for
- Person is unconscious or semiconscious and cannot be awakened.
- Cold, moist, pale or bluish skin.
- Slow, shallow breathing.
- Vomiting while "sleeping" or passed out, and not waking up after vomiting.
- Get help. Call 911 and inform your RA.
- Do not leave the person alone.
- Turn the victim on his/her side to prevent choking in case of vomiting.
- Always follow "better safe than sorry." Don't let worries about being in trouble or paying the bill stop you from saving a life.
In addition to providing fire protection to the Purdue community, the Purdue Fire Department has two Advanced Life Support ambulances that offer the highest level of pre-hospital care. All department staff members are trained to the hazardous materials technician level and are trained and certified in aircraft rescue and firefighting.
By state law, Purdue police officers act with the same authority as state, county and city police officers and are equipped to cope with emergencies and other problems on campus. Be aware of emergency telephone call boxes, yellow with a blue light on top, prominently located across campus. Purdue police headquarters answers within seconds when you open the call box door and push the button. In addition to performing normal law enforcement duties, patrolling the campus and enforcing traffic and parking regulations, the department conducts personal safety presentations and discussion groups.
Safe-Walk Website
Administered by the Purdue Police Department, this program provides a Purdue Student Security Patrol officer to walk students to their residences within the Safe-Walk zone. The service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year-round.
Established in December 2006, this office oversees the emergency preparedness and planning activities on Purdue's West Lafayette campus. Visit the office's website for full details.
International students — Those considering withdrawal from the University should contact the Office of International Students and Scholars (ISS) about non-immigrant status, because withdrawing will affect their legal stay in the United States.
Non-Title IV Aid — Students who withdraw during the first six weeks of a semester, with the recommendation of the registrar, will receive a partial refund of the general service fee and tuition.
Title IV Aid — Once classes begin, refunds are prorated based on the date of official withdrawal from class(es). Refunds are based on a diminishing scale through 60 percent of the semester. Refunds are calculated on all fees and tuition.
In general, a first-year student on scholastic probation will be dropped from the University if his or her graduation index is less than 1.4 or if he or she receives failing grades in six or more credit hours for the semester. To return to the University after a minimum of one semester away, a student who has been dropped must apply for readmission to the Committee on Scholastic Delinquencies and Readmissions through the Office of the Dean of Students. A fee is assessed for processing the readmission application. If the student is permitted to register again, he or she will do so on scholastic probation.
- has at least six credit hours in the semester index with a semester index of at least 3.5; and
- has at least a 2.0 graduation index.
- has at least six credit hours in the semester index with a semester index of at least 3.0; and
- has at least 12 credit hours in the graduation index with a graduation index of at least 3.5.

Ron Guth: Proof 1831 Half Cents are found in three different versions:
1831 Original - right side of second S in STATES lines up with the tip of the leaf beneath (this same die was used later to produce 1832 Half Cents of the Cohne 1 variety).
1831 Reverse of 1836 - left side of second S in STATES lines up with the tip of the leaf beneath (this same die was used earlier to strike 1836 Original Half Cents); eventually this die becomes heavily cracked.
1831 Reverse of 1840 - reverse style of the 1840-1857 Braided Hair Half Cents
Considerable controversy exists over the status of the 1831 Originals. Were they all struck as Proofs or were some struck for circulation? The existence of numerous circulated examples suggests that some could have been struck for circulation, but they could just as easily have been Proofs that somehow entered circulation.

text: Hello everyone, I went to get my Guoyan 66 today to have a drink and when I stuck the knife in the side and began lifting a section out of the cake there was this yellow powdery substance stuck to the leaves, first thing I though was mold. But this substance is only on the parts that I have flaked from. The top of the cake that has not been touched is fine. Here are some pics, kinda hard to see because its a rather small object to capture, but tell me what you think. And if anyone else has this cake, check yours to see if maybe you have the same thing, because it could just be a manufacturing thing or fuzz from the leaves, IDK? Until now all tea is out of the pumidor and this tea has been separated and will not be consumed.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (111 votes).
In short: Well organised, great raceIn full: In response to Nick's (and others) gripes from autumn, here is how the race went in Janary:Race started on time, no problems there.Very clear race directions this time. Start/finish mat moved back onto the tarmac.Bananas are back, as well quite a few other biscuits etc to chose from. If you sign up in advance then your timing chip is sent to you in the post, so on race day you have nothing to do - just turn up and race.The price increase is quite big, but it's still a fairly cheap event in my opinion. It seems any mistakes that were made earlier in the series were just a small glitch whilst they take over oranganising this race. A great 10k, would recommend it to anyone. Date of review: January 6, 2014
In full: I signed up for all 6 races so am committed to this series. However am not impressed with the lack of a safe place to leave my bag and lack of medal - both things were advertised and part of the reason I signed up. Date of review: October 8, 2013
In short: A disappointment : new organisers have much to learn In full: Agree with Holly and others - a real shame that the new organisers failed so much on their first attempt. Note that there are also reviews on this event under a different name - referring the the grand prix winter series. This seems to be the event posted by Nice Work, the new organisers - they have much to do to be worthy of their name. Date of review: October 7, 2013
In short: A Definite Turn For The WorseIn full: Echoing another review, I'll summarise my gripes as briefly as possibly:- Late start, no explanation, no lockers open at The Hub even 10 mins before scheduled 9AM gun time- Mumbled, unclear race direction. "When finishing, faster racers may be lapping you so stick to one side". Er, and *which* side would that be?? (Only even heard this because I was near the front.)- Start / finish mat moved off the path onto wet, slippy autumn grass? Are you serious? So people are expected to divert off the tarmac during their last sprint for the line. That'll go well come a spell more rain.- Everyone who's run this series regularly knows that the laps are slightly different - the boating pond dog-leg is not in every lap; this is why people were looking in a perplexed manner at their Garmins at the end, wondering why they were reading long and they'd missed a PB by 10 seconds (one guy I spoke to at least).No bananas? A small thing, but if you're going to put the price up FIFTY PERCENT (I rarely use capitals, sorry) then take things away - I question the value. Maybe it paid for all the timing chips; which are useless in an incorrectly measured race.- Speaking of timing chips - one of the joys of this series used to be a race chip/number for the whole series, so you could just rock up and run every first Sunday. Now it's chip collect at the start, every race. Means getting up earlier and queuing, every race.Aside from that... It's still a fun 10K to run, and having paid the full 6 race entry I'll give them a chance to sort things out in November. If there are no signs of this happening, I may be seeking a refund.Date of review: October 7, 2013
In short: New organisers: bad!In full: I've been running this series, winter and summer, for 3 years now. The winter series has just changed organiser, and, oh, I hope it gets better in November.The price went up by 50%. For this, we got a course that was too long (this was obvious - there is a loop near the boating pond that needs to be cut off on one lap in order to make the correct distance), there was no clock, no lap timings, the pads to record times were on grass, not the path (that was kinda damp in October), the start and end was shifted 20 yards further down the established course so there was a junction of paths just as you're getting into your final sprint (dangerous). No bananas at the end as in previous races, no enthusastically yelled encouragement as we approach the finish, no clear directions about which side to run on if a finisher/doing another lap, a course director who felt it was acceptable to face away from the runners to talk to us, who mumbled through the megaphone, and who didn't bother to apologise for the late start. Yes, it was only 6 minutes or so late (and to be expected if the Hub hadn't been opened early so we could use the loos/store bags in lockers, but that's not the point).The only thing that's keeping me going back for the next one is that I've paid for the whole series - like I usually do. Plus, they might just learn from the experience.Date of review: October 6, 2013
Date of review: January 27, 2013
In short: Rip off, dangerous, with rude organisersIn full: Complete rip off - you are basically paying £12 for a piece of paper and half cup of water. Staff we obnoxious from the start - the woman literally snatched the money out of my hand. They expect runners to be happy leaving their valubles in a room where anyone could wander in and help themselves, in the middle of Regents Park! Spent most of the race worrying about my belongings. The race description is a LIE - there is no medal, no voucher, no food etc at the end. Bunch of jokers. AVOID!Date of review: January 9, 2012
In short: Cheap, simple raceIn full: A well organised simple race around 3 laps of Regent's Park. A pretty flat course meas PB potential is high. A good mix of runners means the race thins out quickly.I would like to thank the organisers. I ran to the race and got a little lost so arrived with less than 10 minutes to go. I had to pick up my race number and they were very helpful. Cheers.Date of review: January 8, 2012
In short: Very easy simple and enjoyable race course.In full: This is a good course. Flat, simple, wide roads, no hills and good water stations. Friendly, easy to get to and nice stewards. I enjoyed it.Not challenging which is a nice change but all will enjoy it. Good variety of runners.Sadly no goody bags or medals, just water & bananas at the end, but it's cheap so who cares? A good fun race well managed.Date of review: December 5, 2011
In short: An excellent, well-organsied race and the series is good for measuring training progressIn full: However, as with many races, the organisers could usefully a) use a powerful megaphone seeings as folk refuse to shut up and listen to race instructions; b)tell racers to put themselves in the right place at the start (why do slower starters insist on placing themselves right on the line and slowing everything up at the start?); and c) perhaps have more signage to encourage park users to show a little consideration when crossing through the race.Date of review: September 3, 2011

To get another Strat-O-Matic league going?
Sporting News just unleashed the "All Time Greats VI" set of cards/leagues. Includes all the old Negro League stars, recent cards for guys like Pujols.
Or we could get a 70's, 80's, or 90's league going. Will go with consensus.
$20 a team ... but you get two months of pure unadulterated entertainment for that $20. Putting your team together, setting your lineups, rotation, bullpen, strategy ... and reading the box scores of your games (3 games a night, 162 game season, leagues last 54 days) ... is very fun.
Lemme know if you're in.

NOTE: All original items are sold, however a new Special Order was placed due to such a quick sell out, around 8 hours. So, 5 more Houjin, 5 Yuzamashi and 10 more cups are on order and will hopefully be completed in the next few weeks (no guarantee on that, I will update this as I get more info). Of these new pieces, there are still a few Houjin and Yuzamashi as well as most cups.
You can preorder and reserve yours NOW by PMing me with your request.
EDIT 7/26/09: Second groups is completely sold out.
Finally, Special Order #3 is available. I expect this to be very popular because it is Shibuya Deishi Gyokuro pieces, because it was especially for us by this master, because the pricing is really excellent for these items, and because of the "Special Designation Stamp" in the inside of the box lid.
When pre ordering, include items requested along with alternates via return PM to me, I will PM an easy order form to you to be filled out and returned to me which I will forward to the seller. The seller has requested this info to be routed through me since he was overwhelmed with the first TC Special Offering" and language difficulties. Plus he wants this most efficient method.
The seller will then Pay Pal invoice you directly. This seller ships PROMPLY!!! Shipping info is at the bottom! ____________________________________________________________________
Shibuya Deishi Gyokuro pieces! The whole special offering/batch especially made for members of TeaChat only. These are the real deal and thrown especially for us. I hope you are able to enjoy! Also note, these are special offerings available here only and include [color=red]very special pricing that is about 20% below the only other place I have seen these items (AN).
Be sure to check out the Houjin wood box which has the typical Deishi signature/description of the outside of the lid.
On the inside of the lid, a special designation for this batch. It states to the right in kanji "Kinsei" which I understand means carefully made especially for and under supervision of and reflects a gratitude in which Japanese culture is reflected. Something like this. To the left, TeaChat in English, and in the romantic Japanese translation in Kanji "Discussion about Tea" And Magokoro in Kanji and English.

Finding a long-term solution
The longterm future of the Ward County Historical Museum remains uncertain, but at least everyone involved has a somewhat better idea of the North Dakota State Fair Board's vision for using its property.
The two entities still disagree on details, but State Fair manager Renee Korslein said last week that the Fair Board would like the museum and all accompanying buildings removed from the site within five years. The eventual plan is to build a new convention center on the fairgrounds, although no concrete plans have been established.
Exactly how and when the historical buildings are moved off the fair's property remains to be decided. The Fair Board passed a resolution requiring the Ward County Historical Society to create a plan, while the society has said it thought the board planned to come up with a plan. The Fair Board would also like to have solid plans in place by Sept. 1, which would allow the board to begin work to develop the land where the historical village sits. The society says it's willing to investigate moving the museum to a new site, but Sept. 1 is unrealistic given the difficulty in finding land in the wake of 2011's Souris River flood.
There is much negotiation and discussion ahead before this issue is solved, and it seems the ultimate result is already known: The museum will be moved off the Fairgrounds.
But one short-term issue we'd like to see resolved is the fate of a school building that is ready to be moved into the village, a move put on hold by the Fair Board. The society says it will be responsible for moving the building onto the site, and will move the building off the site when the time comes to relocate the village's buildings. But so far the Fair Board hasn't given the society the necessary permission. We hope the board allows the society to move the school onto the site soon. It would be a nice, and ultimately temporary, addition to the village.

You know when you buy a makeup palette at the drugstore it usually comes in a 3 kit and all the colours are complementary? The Giver red carpet last night made me think of that. Katie Holmes, Taylor Swift, and Odeya Rush all dressed to coordinate. And even the step-and-repeat reflects it. Does Katie's dress remind you of a dancer's?

I recently had the pleasure to travel to Amman, Jordan, to attend the U.S.-Jordan Business Forum. My trip happened to fall over International Women's Day, which gave me added incentive to engage on women's issues while in country. Across the Jordanian energy sector, I came across a number of extraordinary women, including Barbara Broomell, the executive Director of the Arab Women's Leadership Institute (AWLI), who are working to alleviate the pressures of a dire electricity crisis and to build a more sustainable energy future for all Jordanians and the region. I was particularly encouraged by the work of Jordan's EDAMA Association, which seeks to create private sector partnerships to develop a viable clean energy sector in Jordan.
In the Department of State's new Energy Resources Bureau, created thanks to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's vision and leadership, we constantly strive to incorporate women's issues into our various policy platforms. This includes expanding access to electricity to the 1.3 billion people who do not have it through the UN Sustainable Energy for All initiative (SE4ALL). This program will have a dramatic impact on the lives of women in the developing world -- improving health, enhancing personal security, facilitating education, and opening new economic opportunities. Given that women in developing countries often spend hours every day collecting biomass for cooking fuel, access to electricity or a clean cooking stove provides women more time for income-generation and avoids harmful human health impacts from inhaling fumes.
Modern energy services can also transform women's livelihoods and advance economic prosperity. The U.S. Peace Corps, in partnership with the Department of State, supported projects in Latin America under President Obama's Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas to promote cookstoves and small-scale renewable energy. In Nicaragua, thanks to an improved oven, a female entrepreneur and breadmaker was able bake from her home and on a daily basis, saving time, increasing her yields, and earn more money.
As our new Bureau continues to expand and confront new challenges, I will continue to strongly engage on issues that intersect women and energy. The challenges before us are great, but I am confident that through innovative approaches and broad engagement, that we can continue to make progress.

Mari in the U.S.A. writes:
I feel ashamed when I see the Department of State pressuring these countries to adopt primitive, colonial-style ("sustainable") energy technologies, and then gloating about it. These countries need nuclear energy and other advanced energy sources, so they can actually develop and progress. That's the way American leaders thought at the end of WWII. In those days, we didn't want to keep them backward and helpless. Now we act like the British.
