Ever wonder what flight attendants really think of you? What they'd tell you if they had the nerve? Or weren't afraid of being fired? What secrets would they reveal about their jobs?
Several of my friends work as flight attendants. One of them recently retired after 20 years flying for a storied name in commercial aviation. Others work for less glamorous domestic U.S. airlines. I asked them what they would say to their passengers if they could or what bits of wisdom they would reveal if granted anonymity. These folks do not represent every flight attendant in the skies, so if you're a flight attendant, feel free to disagree and send comments to email@example.com. But I didn't make this stuff up. What you read here may surprise you or make you laugh or both.
Here are some of their confessions.
You know that coffee you ordered? It may be decaf even though you asked for regular. Flight attendants told me they would rather you sit back, relax and fall asleep so you don't bother them.
When they "arm" the doors on your aircraft, flight attendants check the work of their colleagues at the opposite door. You hear it often: "Arm doors and cross check." Despite all the cross checking, they err occasionally and forget to arm the doors, which means the emergency slides won't automatically deploy if needed in an emergency. It's a fireable offense.
Airlines used to pay their flight attendants when they showed up for duty at the airport. Not now. That changed to getting paid when the cabin doors closed, then to when the plane's brakes were released and now, often, when the wheels leave the ground ("wheels up" in airline parlance). There can sometimes be hours of delay between the time they show up for work and when they're airborne. Different airlines have different policies, but it's a way for them to save money. So when flight attendants greet you at the door, it's very often for free. No wonder the smiles sometimes seem fake.
If a flight is late, the airline might have to pay overtime. If the flight is going to be late anyway, flight attendants have been known to delay it even further in order to make sure overtime kicks in, which can mean up to double the hourly pay.
A flight attendant can upgrade you to business or first class after the airplane's doors close, but they don't do it often. That's partly because on some airlines that requires filing a report explaining why it was done, partly because there has to be a meal for you and partly because the forward cabins are often full. Whom do they upgrade? Not, they said, the slob who's dressed in a dirty tank top. It helps if you're extremely nice, well dressed, pregnant, very tall, good-looking or one of their friends.
Taking your computer or a newspaper into the lav is a problem because it means you'll be occupying longer than you should. Don't do it.
You can ask a flight attendant what part of the country or world you're flying over at any given moment, but chances are he or she won't know. Flight attendants are not, after all, flying the plane.
Passengers who do deep knee bends in the galley while flight attendants are trying to work should go do them somewhere else. You won't get deep vein thrombosis on a short flight.
Jiggling your glass of ice at a flight attendant doesn't prompt better service. It might, in fact, have the opposite effect.
When a flight attendant asks you what you'd like to drink and you ask, "Well, what do you have?" they want to answer, "Not a lot of time." Look at the inflight magazine or just guess.
When a flight attendant asks you what you want to drink and you keep saying, "Huh?" because your earphones are in, that ought to be a clue to take them out. After about the fourth time, they'll either move on or bring you a Coke.
Sometimes they ask the captain to leave the seat belt on long after the turbulence has ended so they can serve in clear aisles.
On night flights, they sometimes hold off on meal service as long as they can on the chance you'll be asleep. Fewer passengers to serve and all.

Row Counter Abacus (Bronze)
How to use the row counting abacus:
You will slide the beads from the upper holding area to the lower loop when you want to count.
Have you ever kept count of something by a tally of verticle lines then a diagonal line across 4 vertical lines to symbolize 5? If so, you already know how to use one of these abacuses. The same principle applies.
Notice that there are 2 colors of beads in the charm: 3 of one color (we call these the "5"s) and 4 of the other. (we call these the "1"s).
To count:
- Slide down a "1" bead every time you want to count a row until you have completed 4 rows (and have 4 "1" beads on the loop below).
- To count the 5th row, slide the 4 "1" beads back to their holding area and slide down a "5" bead to the lower loop.
- Continue sliding down "1" beads until you have counted 9 rows and have 1 "5" bead and 4 "1" beads down below.
- To count the 10th row, slide the 4 "1" beads back to their holding area and slide down a 2nd "5" bead to the lower loop. You will now have 2 "5" beads in the lower loop.
- Continue in this manner until you have hit 19 rows. The row counting image above shows bead positions for rows 2 through 9, then for row 19.
About the abacus:
Jennifer Hansen designed this abacus for herself and had so much fun wrangling wire that she made a batch to offer on the website. Have you ever wanted to make wire jewelry? Read her blog post to find out how she learned to work with wire

Over the last two decades, Tim Gieseke has worked to understand the ecological and economical balance needed within agriculture.
Many of the ideas and conclusions from that quest are contained in his new book, EcoCommerce 101, The Emergence of an Invisible Hand to Sustain the Bio-Economy, Bascom Hill Publishing Group, $37.95)
The book, Gieseke says, is "a culmination of 20 years of seeking solutions, five years of focusing on a solution, and a year to appreciate the depth of its potential."
After earning his masters degree, he worked with local, state, and national conservation policy issues and their relationship to production agriculture. In the early 1990s, he began farming in south central Minnesota, where he integrated his conservation experience within an agro-economic system that was at a 30-year low point and received firsthand experience in the dependency that agriculture has on federal farm policy.
He founded Ag Resource Strategies LLC as a vehicle to assist in the development of an outcome-based resource management process for agriculture, agribusiness, and agri-industry, as well as to align those activities with the governmental and non-profit organizations that provide the necessary support for effective resource management to occur.
"Imagine a farmer sitting down to evaluate his production plan for the year," Gieseke says. "He considers the price of traditional agricultural commodities and how to produce them in certain quantities.
"Now, add a value for soil conditioning, water quality, habitat, and carbon sequestration indices. For example, what if a water quality score of 80 meets the criteria for multiple beneficiaries? It may meet the objectives of a USDA incentive program, and/or an EPA Total Maximum Daily Load regulatory assurance requirement.
"It may also provide market access via Walmart's sustainability index, generate a tax rebate from the local watershed district, or become an eligibility requirement to engage in a water quality trading program for a waste water treatment plant.
Farm's portfolio of ecoservices
"A compilation of these resource indices becomes the farm's ecoservice portfolio that can be recalculated yearly."
Providing ecoservices and increasing the natural-capital capacity is an investment in the bio-economy infrastructure, Gieseke says, and is an investment that create immediate wealth and renewable wealth.
The second Green Revolution, he notes, must embrace natural capital values and the values associated with ecoservices, to the extent that it improves the capacity of both on-farm and off-farm resources.
"Finding the path toward the next Green Revolution is in our self-interests as well."
While once it was just the government that was willing to pay for ecoservices, consumers and private business sectors have begun to show support, Gieseke says.
"With the retail giant Walmart and others following suit, or participating in their Sustainability Index effort, the tipping point for EcoCommerce may be near. At that point, land managers become the ecoservice suppliers to the nation and world, rather than confined to being the conservation customer of federal and state governments."
"We now freely talk about water quality trading, carbon credits, cap and trade, wildlife habitat, ecotourism, and social aspects of landscapes, although there is not a common structure as to how we view the values of these components," notes Jerry L. Hatfield, director, USDA/ARS, National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment, Ames, Iowa, in the book's foreword.
"(This book) provides such a framework, for not only how we value these ecosystem services, but the process through which we quantify this value…
"More and more we are going to be examining the linkages among the monetary value of ecosystems. This book focuses on agricultural systems and their value, which brings the concepts into play in an area in which ecosystem services need to be understood from an economic perspective…e.g., what is the value of soil, what is the value of clean water?
"(While this book) will be a valuable asset to anyone who wants to understand how this economy will emerge… (its) largest value is for policymakers and traders who will be the driving force in the development of policies and practices associated with ecosystem services.
Sustainability and economic value
"If we are to continue to serve the world in which we are entrusted to be good stewards," Hatfield writes, "then we will have to understand all of the dimensions of sustainable systems, which only come through understanding the economic value."
Many readers will not be convinced that such a system could ever be implemented, says Gieseke.
"Amazingly, though, as long as someone or some entity deems it to be in their self interest, however narrow or broad, EcoCommerce can emerge and commence….The desire to place economic value on a defined level of sustainability is the impetus for EcoCommerce, the same beginning for all emerging markets."
Agriculture is a unique industry, he notes, in that it provides 90 percent of the food for the world's people and is the most intensively-managed ecosystem.
What is being lost, he says, is the production capacity of the natural capital of soil.
"This soil 'factory' is being gradually depleted under the production system that provides food for six billion people. A scenario that could put further stress on these 'food factories' would be if cellulosic material can be readily converted to liquid fuels or other energy sources. Then the 'invisible hand' of the economy will encourage resource mangers to provide both food and fuel stocks to a population that is estimated to be nine billion by 2050." More than 90 percent of all the crops and livestock consumed, as well as livestock feed, is produced by agro-ecosystems, Gieseke notes.
"Unlike other ecosystems, agro-ecosystems do not occur naturally — they are created and maintained by humans … Agro-ecosystems provide, on average, 24 percent more food per person today than they did in 1961. But by 2020, they will have to supply food for an estimated 1.7 billion more people.
"In essence, the soil factory will have to provide greater production output, while under a management system that will remove additional organic material. Being a finite system it is highly improbable that this type of an economy can maintain the capacity of the natural capital."

Last week marked one of the quirkiest events on the Boston calendar: MIThenge, the twice-a-year occasion when the sunset shoots straight through the door at the end of MIT's Infinite Corridor. On these afternoons, the long hallway that links the university's buildings aligns with the sun the way Stonehenge (putatively) aligns with the solstices.
The equivalent phenomenon in New York is known as Manhattanhenge, when the setting sun lines up with Manhattan cross streets and slices dramatically between the city's towers. It occurs twice a year, once in late May and again in mid-July. (Really four times if you count the rising sun, which is apparently too early for anyone to be in the mood to talk about.)
Here in Boston, like most everywhere else in the country outside New York, we don't have the skyscraper street canyons that make Manhattanhenge remarkable. But perhaps our lack of any overall street system makes up for it; Manhattan gets only a couple of "henge" days each year, while in Boston the sun rises and sets straight over different streets on any number of dates.
Despite the apparent chaos of Boston's street network, some individual neighborhoods—South Boston, East Boston, and the Back Bay, for example—have relatively orderly street grids. Because of the unique geography and history of each neighborhood, the grids are all set at different angles, giving each neighborhood its own "henge." And although our straight streets don't tend to be very long, some thoroughfares, like those in Cambridge, do cut direct paths that provide an uninterrupted view of the sun across multiple neighborhoods. (They also send the sun straight into the eyes of drivers, so "henge" dates are a time for pedestrians to be extra cautious.)
If you look at a calendar of the sun's positions through the year, and match the azimuths of sunrises and sunsets—their angles relative to north—to the angles of reasonably long straight streets, you can come up with a rough chart of neighborhood "henges." Here's a map of a few of those that should—weather permitting, and with some room for error—offer dramatic long views of the sunrise or sunset.Andrew Woodruff is a Cambridge-based cartographer for Axis Maps, and coauthor of the Bostonography blog.

Water Damage Restoration Companies in Barton Creek – What Do You Need To Know about Water Damage Repair ?
Water damage
Water damage describes a large number of possible losses caused by water intruding where it will enable attack of a material or system by destructive processes such as rotting of wood, growth, rusting of steel, de-laminating of materials such as plywood, and many others.
[rssonpage rss="http://www.bing.com/search?q=IICRC&;format=rss" feeds="1″ excerpt="summery true" target="_blank"]
[rssonpage rss="http://www.bing.com/search?q=Restoration+Industry+Association&;format=rss" feeds="1″ excerpt="summery true" target="_blank"]
Who are the Water Damage Repair Barton Creek water damage restoration professionals to turn to for flood clean up, removal, and repair?
There are only a few true fire and water restoration companies that Water Damage Repair in Barton Creek Texas that can provide the full line of flood clean up, fire rebuilding and mold remediation services. These companies have been in business in the Barton Creek area for decades and have full time, trained technicians who are available to do emergency water damage 24/7. They have industrial strength equipment and professional gear that they use daily on just such water damage emergencies.
We have been keywords accredited with Home Advisor since the beginning, and are honored to have earned a BBB A+ Accreditation, with over 50 5-Star Reviews!
And then there are the other guys….
These competitors are divided into three types of restoration service providers:
Water Damage Internet marketing firms
Most of the restoration companies you will find on the web are marketing companies that later sell your cleanup and rebuilding job to subcontractors they never met. When there is a big demand for restoration clean up services in Barton Creek, such as frozen and burst pipes, burst water heaters or rain and flood damage, these marketing companies call everyone who says that they can do water removal, clean up and repair to get your job. However, if they cannot find any subcontractors, your job will be abandoned.
Water Damage Restoration National Franchises
The other type of water removal and repair competitors are large corporate franchise restoration companies with very little connection to Barton Creek. They do not have full line fire, water and restoration services in Barton Creek and usually have staff that is new to the home restoration business. Very often, the true fire and water remediation companies are asked to complete repair jobs that were started by restoration franchisees.
Carpet Cleaning Companies
There are hundreds of carpet cleaning companies in Barton Creek that claim to be water damage restoration companies. These so called remediation experts have no water removal experience, flood damage clean up training or dehumidification equipment to complete water and flood damage repair projects. They also have no education or much experience in the science of water extraction, drying and clean up. There is very little chance that your property would be completely restored through their services.
In fact, since these companies do not have any water removal, fire restoration or mold remediation experience or content restoration facilities to handle personal belongings or furniture, their so called services only delay your home's restoration work. Meanwhile, there is further structural damage to your dry walls, ceilings, carpets, and floors, possibly resulting in mold damage.
Flood Damage Insurance Claims
The causes of house floods are many and different. The list includes natural disasters, burst pipes of the property's water supply system or sewage system and broken water boilers, to name the main ones. No matter what the cause of the problem is, you must immediately take a set of measures for water damage repair and for restoring your home. Here they are.
Go back inside only if it's safe.
In case your house has suffered major structural damage, you should stay put until you have confirmation that it is safe to enter. Before you go inside, you must ensure that the power supply and the water supply to the house have been terminated. Since the water may be contaminated, you must wear protective clothing and a mask, even if it has subsided. Another thing to keep in mind is that the security of your property is your responsibility, no matter whether you can enter or not.
Check which furnishings can be salvaged.
Carpet and rugs should be dried in the first place. Otherwise, mold can grow inside them and practically destroy them from within. After they are perfectly dry, they should receive thorough cleaning, preferably with products which can kill any pathogens and which are safe the for fibers and dye, of course. The water damage restoration specialists should be able to tell you if carpet and rugs can be saved given their condition.
If wood furniture has not been into contact with water for a long time and is dried quickly outside, it may be salvaged. Otherwise, you may have to replace it. This should be covered by your home insurance policy.
Time is of the essence when it comes to water damage repair. Act quickly to save your home.

Bistro Chicken - Secret Recipe Club
Welcome to this month's Secret Recipe Club post, where members make a recipe from an assigned blog, then write a post about it. For this month's Club I had the pleasure of being assigned Flying on Jess Fuel.
Jess is the wife of a navy pilot, hence the cool blog title. Jess has many awesome recipes! Usually I take a quick glance at my assigned blog, carefully bookmark a few potentials, then forget to look at the carefully bookmarked potentials until panic time, a week before Reveal Day (ignore September's post ... that was very not usual). But this simple yet delicious recipe literally stopped me in my tracks. I simply had to make it that very night!
The sauce is exquisite! Even after theHubby and I enjoyed bistro chicken twice in one week (and a couple of work lunches), there was still enough sauce left over to freeze for a future meal. I'm thinking next time the chicken will be replaced with chopped eggplant for a substantial meatless meal.
I prefer black olives to those of the green persuasion. Even theHubby, who prefers green, ate a good portion of the slices in his share ... after first picking out as many as he could when he thought I wasn't paying attention.
Red wine vinegar was replaced with balsamic vinegar, mostly because I wasn't paying attention and what I thought was red wine vinegar was balsamic vinegar. Could have been worse ... the Worcestershire sauce was alongside those two.
I omitted chopped celery since I don't care for celery in my tomato-y sauces, planning to sub with a teaspoon of celery seeds instead. So of course I forgot to add the celery seeds. Was delicious anyway.
Thank you, Jess! I look forward to trying your Rosemary Olive Oil Wheat CRACKers soon ... they look awesome as well!
Bistro Chicken
Adapted from Flying on Jess Fuel
Yield: 6 servings
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 boneless and skinless chicken breasts, pounded flat
2 cups chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped (reserve a tablespoon for garnish)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup sliced medium to large black olives
1/4 cup capers
1/8 tsp. ground red (cayenne) pepper
2 bay leaves
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (12-16 oz.) pkg. penne or rotini pasta, cooked and drained according to package directions
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts in a single layer; sauté 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned (will not be cooked through).
Return breasts and any accumulated juices to pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (no pink remains, and juices run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife).
Discard bay leaves. Divide cooked pasta among 6 dinner plates. Ladle sauce over chicken and pasta. Garnish with reserved parsley and serve.

The largest ground transportation system in the country is gearing up again, and that means confronting the rising cost of fuel. School buses shuttle some 25 million kids on school days, and while most districts have had a summer's respite from gas prices, those bills will start coming due again soon.
"Even [districts] that budgeted for a significant increase didn't budget for a 100 percent price increase," says Mike Martin, executive director of the National Association for Pupil Transportation. Last fall, he says, fuel cost about $1.95 a gallon. By spring, it was $4.05 in places.
So why not switch to a fuel that's not only cheaper, but greener as well? Some have done so already: The Portland, Ore., school district, for example, received a $600,000 federal tax credit last year for its liquid propane-fueled buses. Propane is cheaper and cleaner than diesel, which powers about 90 percent of the country's 500,000 school buses.
"I was not a believer in propane," says Phil Weber, Portland's director of student transportation. "But I crunched the numbers and propane does pay off."
Portland has used propane buses since 1983. But making the switch requires up-front investments in infrastructure and bus conversions or purchases.
John Kelly, executive director for transportation and support services at the Richardson, Texas, public schools, says the June fuel bill alone for his maintenance and operations fleet was $30,000. It had averaged just $8,000 a month a few years ago. "That takes a bite out of the budget,"
Mr. Kelly says. Of the school district's 34,000 students, some 5,000 take the bus.
But by next spring, Richardson students will be riding buses fueled by propane, a move Mr. Kelly hopes will cut fuel costs by 50 percent.
Working with Dallas County Schools, the district considered switching to either biodiesel or propane, but propane is readily available for less than $2 a gallon, Kelly says.
Another incentive for the switch was the fact that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designated North Texas a "nonattainment" area, meaning that it does not meet federal standards for air quality. Since then, the district has gotten the OK to build a propane fueling station, Kelly says.
Some 130 school districts and other school-bus operators nationwide run more than 2,600 natural gas and propane school buses, according to a 2001 report by the Natural Resources Defense Council. This is admittedly only a small fraction of the 14,000 or so school districts across the nation.
The Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas, currently fuels some 250 of its 700 school buses with propane, and was the first school district to order 16 new Bluebird buses built propane-ready.
About half of Northside's 85,000 students rode in gasoline-, biodiesel-, or propane-fueled buses last year, costing the district about $2.32 a gallon for gasoline, $2.62 a gallon for "green diesel," and $1.54 for propane, says Pascual Gonzalez, Northside's communications director.
It's the right time for districts to move to propane, says Roy Willis, president of the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC).
"It's less expensive than gasoline or diesel fuel, and propane has close to 80 percent of the range" of these fuels, Mr. Willis says. Portland's small propane buses got about six miles per gallon, while its gasoline-powered buses got seven miles per gallon, and diesel, eight.
Government assistance also helps make propane more affordable. A federal tax credit gives districts 50 cents back on every gallon of propane.
And for 2008, Congress appropriated $49.2 million to help reduce emissions from diesel engines, including school buses. That means that federal grants are available to retrofit or establish the infrastructure needed to run a clean-fuel station or purchase a bus that can run on alternative fuels. States like California and Texas lead the way in programs offering to pay much of the cost to retrofit or buy a new bus that can run on alternative fuels.
The economics of propane work better on the West Coast than in the East. According to the April 2008 quarterly Clean Cities Alternative Fuel Price Report by the US Department of Energy, propane on the West Coast was almost $1 per gallon cheaper than gasoline. But Central Atlantic states on average paid 40 cents more per gallon for propane than gasoline.
"These are tough economic times, and I just don't know if it's in [districts'] mind-sets to do this," says Diane Bailey, senior scientist for the Natural Resources Defense Council. "If you're in a remote area ... it's just not the cost of fuel but [also] infrastructure."
Weber says it took Portland about five years to recoup the cost of propane fuel pumps and engine retrofits. A small bus built to run on propane may cost $7,000 to $10,000 more than a regular bus, he says. The price tag for a retrofit is about $6,000.
Some 100 school districts use biodiesel, says Jenna Higgins, communications director for the National Biodiesel Board. Changeover from diesel is quick: Biodiesel can go right into an existing engine, though attention to filters and viscosity is important. It's more expensive than propane or regular diesel, but "in many respects it's the least-cost technology," because retrofits and pumps aren't an issue, Ms. Higgins says.
Both propane and biodiesel minimize environmental damage. Higgins says emissions for B20 (diesel that contains 20 percent biodiesel) and propane engines are measured differently, but that biodiesel significantly reduces carbon emissions. Her agency's website lists carbon monoxide exhaust emissions an average of 48 percent lower than such emissions from diesel. Particulate emissions are 47 percent lower for biodiesel than for diesel. Mr. Willis of the Propane Education and Research Council says propane also offers big reductions: 90 percent less nitrous oxide, and up to a 24 percent reduction in other emissions. New propane buses, according to PERC, can reduce particulates in exhaust by 99 percent.
Despite Portland's success with propane, Weber questions the likelihood of districts switching to alternative fuels if gasoline prices stabilize.
"Every time fuel takes a jump, people get excited [about propane]," he says. "Then, it goes back down and people walk away from it."

CIO Survival Lessons from CES
The trends on display at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show, held in Las Vegas, will drive how businesses use technology as never before, according to Oliver Bussmann, the CIO of software vendor SAP.
According to Mr. Bussmann, the lessons of CES are that employees will increasingly demand business technologies that are as familiar and easy to use as the devices they use in their personal lives, that employees will become increasingly mobile, and that electronic sensors will become ubiquitous, allowing CIOs to gather and analyze greater amounts of information than ever before.
CIOs have to allow employees to use their personal mobile devices for work purposes, irrespective of their concerns about security, said Mr. Bussmann. "There will be resistance among some CIOs, but I think those CIOs will not survive," he said. Allowing employees to bring their own devices to work presents significant security challenges, but technologies are emerging that will allow CIOs to deal with those by partitioning smartphones. "As the CIO, you have to overcome those concerns, and there are plenty of options," said Mr. Bussmann during a briefing with CIO Journal in New York Thursday.
Mr. Bussmann said he's drawing other lessons from the consumerization of business technology. Inspired by Apple's retail store concept, he has opened around a dozen stores in locations close to SAP offices where employees can browse devices, get help using devices or applications, or swap out their devices on the fly. The stores, which aren't open to the public but only to SAP employees, are staffed with IT experts who can give advice or repair devices. Mr. Bussmann said in many cases IT staff have to be trained to "interact with people" in a more consumer-friendly manner, but the effort is worth making. "You can copy the concept of what's done for consumers," said Mr. Bussmann.
He said that IT can't lead organizational transformation unless it has credibility among employees – something that isn't often the case. "As a CIO, I have to think about more touch points that will drive perception, and you often have to change the perception of IT," he said.
Mr. Bussmann said he was also impressed by the variety of devices on display at CES that can be connected to the Internet, and said CIOs will have to find ways to leverage the coming flood of low-cost electrical sensors. He said savvy CIOs will be able to gather and analyze information they can use to improve customer service, introduce new types of services, or find new products for their companies' existing products and services. "We can get ever more information out of connected devices," he said.

What qualities are most helpful in navigating Plan B Nation?
Having given this question a lot of thought, I've concluded that one of the most important is a capacity for openness. By this I mean, an ability to drop ideas of how life should be — to be open to the unexpected gifts in unexpected detours and derailments.
It wasn't until Plan B Nation guest blogger Ellen Rabiner asked me to reciprocate that I realized how much this insight owes to my time in Turkey. In a new guest post for Ellen in Turkey, I explain how this came to be.

I was hanging out at Sip yesterday, doing my usual thing: Getting a little writing done, drinking a lot of coffee.
But as I worked (and sipped) I found myself distracted by two young women a few tables away. It's not that they were loud, it's that they were interesting. At first, I just thought (as I often do) what a great town this is! From there, it was a quick leap to "You know what? I'd like to meet them."
A quick leap in my mind, but an awkward one to enact. This is what I thought as I fingered two business cards I'd pulled from my bag and contemplated next steps. For a few minutes more, I went back and forth. And then: I just did it.
I approached their table, smiling. Cautious smiles in response. I blathered something about how I couldn't help but overhear—and I knew that this must seem sort of strange—but that they just sounded so interesting that I'd decided to say Hi!
And you know what? They were lovely. Exactly like they'd sounded.
Not surprisingly, this being the town that it is, we already shared friends. Kate co-owns the vibrant Impish, a "mischievously playful" Northampton children's store that I've visited with my friend Sarah, whom Kate also knows. Fran is a former business law student of my professor friend Jennifer and about to begin a new job on Maine's same-sex marriage campaign. (I knew they were interesting!)
My friend Naomi quotes her mother as saying "Always err on the side of generosity." This encounter got me to thinking how the same could just as well be said about human connection.
There are many times when the "right" course of action isn't totally clear. If we're going to over-steer, in which direction should we risk erring?
Always steering towards human connection strikes me as a good default rule. And I say this not just because it sounds good but for very practical reasons.
Looking back, I see that, time and again, the choice to connect has enriched my life in many and various ways. No, not each and every time but more often than you might think.
A couple of recent examples relating to this blog:
After writing about celebrity blogger Penelope Trunk, I tweeted the post to her on a lark. To my surprise (and delight) she read it and left a lovely comment, which lifted my spirits on a day that my spirits needed lifting.
More recently, I wrote the (tongue-in-cheek) post "I Should Be You" about The Fluent Self's magical Havi Brooks, and once again, sent it on with no real expectation of response. When she linked to the post, it resulted in my blog's highest traffic-ever day—and, in the process, connected me with a bunch of really wonderful people.
I've also gained a lot from being on the other side of the equation–the person being connected to rather than the connector. The fact that I'm living in this town at all is largely due to the fact that the aforementioned Jennifer (my law school classmate) wrote me a warm congratulatory note after my first novel came out. We'd been friendly but not really "friends" before—and out of touch for years. Today, much of the good in my life can be traced to that out-of-the-blue email.
Another reminder came this week via writer Carolyn Nash (a pen name), who'd read that I work with foster kids and left a comment on my blog offering to send a copy of Raising Abel, her foster care memoir. As it happened, I'd already heard about the book on Workstew and been meaning to find it. ("A woman of remarkable resourcefulness single-handedly raises a troubled child all the way to manhood in this intimate and inspiring blog-to-book memoir," is how Kirkus Reviews describes it.) I told her I was eager to read it. And I'm already writing about it.
Of course, not all attempts to connect will yield the hoped-for connections. In another life, when I was writing thrillers, I mustered up my courage, and placed a call to someone I'd been friendly with in college, who sometimes reviewed books. I caught her at a bad time. She was icy. The call ended quickly. I felt terrible.
Thinking about this phone call now—still clear in my mind after all this years—it occurs to me that it's an excellent example of the human "negativity bias." As described by Buddha's Brain author Rick Hanson, our brains are "Velcro for negative experiences but Teflon for positive ones." This is because our brains evolved to keep us from getting eaten, not with the goal of assuring that we live happy and pleasant lives. As Hanson sees it, we need to do what we can to push back this tendency.
For me, choosing connection is one way to do this. Life is full of risks, and the choices we make on any given day won't always leave us delighted. But by erring on the side of human connection, I'm pretty sure we raise our odds.

The new, long-awaited Whole Foods Market in Fashion Island has opened with a bang, and patrons are flocking to this mega-food emporium like sports fans to the Super Bowl. Traffic is so intense at the moment and a parking spot so precious that there are traffic police controlling the flow as well as complimentary valet parkers running to and fro and even a gentleman with a golf cart who will chauffeur you and your purchases back to your car.
Even if you are familiar with the Whole Food Markets, this is a brand new experience. Unique to Southern California is a tea bar called the Tea Hive, which features hot and cold tea lattes, tea sorbets and other tea beverages. The cold tea drinks are made in cocktail shakers and prepared by "teatenders." At breakfast they serve chai oatmeal and an acai crunch cup. After 10:30 a.m., you can get bowls and wraps.
Although there are taquerias in other Whole Foods, here the meats are all house-smoked. Many Whole Foods have a large selection of cheese and charcuterie but here, there is also a fromagerie with cheese from Neal's Yard and other exclusive selections. There is pizza being freshly baked, a hot Chinese food area, a huge case of assorted sushi, a made-to-order sandwich bar, a prepared food case, as well as fresh-baked breads and an extensive selection of desserts. Then, of course there are three aisles with self-service counters laden with endless different kinds of salads, soups and hot entrées.
Most unique is the bar and restaurant in the rear of the store called the Back Bay Tavern. Bar seating, two low couches and a few tables are augmented by an extensive covered outdoor eating area. The daily menu is served from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and a special After Dark menu with dinner entrées is served from 5 p.m. to closing.
We sat at the 100-year-old bar, which was resurrected from a Harlem speakeasy. We started with wings and tofu sticks dressed with a choice of sauce: Buffalo, inferno, ginger soy or dry spiced. We chose the ginger soy. The wings were actually drumettes, very lightly coated, fried and glazed with the thin, delicate sauce. They were juicy and tender. The tofu sticks were mostly crust, as the tofu itself was sliced very thin, so there was no contrast in texture — great for lovers of fried things, not so great for lovers of tofu.
Tavern favorites include: fish and chips, a burger with bacon jam, a veggie burger and a BLAT, which includes avocado as well as your choice of real or "fakin" bacon.
A menu section called Asian Flare features a platter of wontons, potstickers and shu mai. There is Hawaiian poke with shrimp guacamole, a sashimi plate, four types of sushi rolls and a nigiri sampler.
From 5 p.m. until closing, Executive Chef Dennis Horton presents a number of dinner specials each night. We had the pleasure of sampling two excellent ones.
The cabernet-braised short ribs had been cooked for five hours, rendering them as succulent and tender as butter. The pan jus was very flavorful and complex. You'd be hard pressed to find better ones. Gilding the lily was creamy golden polenta with a slightly crisp exterior and a rich, creamy, cheese-y center studded with a few fresh corn kernels. Rounding out the plate were string beans, carrots and roasted potatoes.
Panko-crusted eggplant Parmesan fondue describes a very attractive plate with big chunks of eggplant that were heavily crusted and deep-fried until the eggplant was soft as mashed potatoes, while the exterior was toothsomely crunchy. The chunks rested on roasted tomato slices with lots of finely chopped garlic. A long skinny snake of basil pesto crossed the plate. On top of each one of these delicious vegan delights was a superfluous, tasteless blob called cashew "parmesan cheese."
The very concept of a restaurant and full service bar in a grocery store is a bold move and it's happening right here in Newport Beach.

Like it or not but HIV related stigma can be seen everywhere. From the entertainment industry all the way to our phones. Mobile networking apps, or as I like to call them "FCK or Hookup apps," carry much of the stigma. Many of these companies like Grindr, Scruff, Jack'd, and Adam4Adam do provide ways for AIDS Service Organizations/Community-based organizations to advertise services, and offer a great opportunity to outreach to our community. Many of these applications allow you to share your status, and even note your last testing date if you are positive; however, we are still turned down, blocked, or face ridiculous comments when we disclose our status to people or reach out to them as an openly positive person. So here goes a list of the SHIT IGNORANT GUYS SAY TO POZ GUYS Online:

Wait a Minute, Did I Take My Meds?
May 18, 2014
"Wait a minute did I take my meds?" This is a question I often ask even if my pill box, mobile application, or friend says I have. Anxiety, nervousness, fear, and due diligence keep me on track to continue to the best of my ability to take my medications faithfully. For me the process of taking my three medications everyday at 9 am is an experience both with and without emotion. Every time I swallow my pills, I am reminded that HIV is living inside me.
Young, Black, Gay/Bisexual/Queer/Trans Men Are In!
April 24, 2014
April second through the fourth saw 55 young black men from across the nation meet in Atlanta, Georgia for the YBGLI's second Policy and Advocacy Summit. When I confirmed to my parents that I was gay so many years ago they warned me that my life would be very difficult, and that it would be full of barriers that would require me to be the very best in everything that I do. This belief stayed within and made me believe until more recently that if I was not perfect or the best in whatever I was attempting then there was no reason trying to pursue.

text: Can Cattle Break $1.20? March 3, 2011 03:52 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Steve Cornett Drovers Editor Emeritus Email Texas Cattle Feeders Association's weekly market analysis last week began like this: "Can cutout values support the current cash prices? It's an important question, because as that was written, fed cattle were priced at $1.10/lb. (live weight) and the replacements crowding in behind them figured to break even at $1.20 and up. Even for modern cattle feeders, who hardly ever get a chance to buy hedgeable breakevens and are incredibly adept at using risk management tools to not only limit risk but capitalize on volatility, those are tough odds. They've got the two problems: High priced corn and high priced feeder cattle. Costs of gain in the Texas Panhandle are projecting to run in excess of $1.05/lb. Slap those up against $1.20 to $1.50 replacements and Justin Gleghorn of Brock Thompson Trading calculates a 700-800 lb. steer to need a $1.22 sale price to break even. TCFA's Don Close pointed out in a separate email that chances of getting to that $1.20 range hinge on getting unusually strong seasonal increases in demand for high-value portions of the beef animal. Typically, as spring and summer grilling season arrive, the relative value of different parts of the carcass diverge. Demand for the loin cuts increase as people look to more steaks. But demand for those cuts has been hit hard by the recession. People just have less money they're willing to spend on eating higher on the hog. While economists—the Federal Reserve Board and USDA analysts included—have been expecting some growth in the economy this year, the recent spikes in oil and fuel prices are providing a monkey wrench in the cogs. Close pointed out that as of last Friday, cutout values were 17.6% higher than a year ago but they would need to add another 20% or so to justify the $120 feeders will need. He and Gregg Doud, National Cattlemen's Beef Association economist note that these near-record prices are based on higher prices for low-value meats—the roasts and grinds taken from that chuck so many checkoff dollars have gone into promoting the last few years. In fact, Close points out, chucks were at a record--25% higher than year-earlier. But ribs and loins are up a smaller 11.5%. The recession—as recessions always do--has had more effect on those prices than on the lower-priced portions. For packers to push prices to that $1.20 area, it will take a near-sudden increase in demand for the middle meats at the least. On top of that, the thick cuts will need to at least hold their own—an atypical seasonal trend—or gain more. If the thick meats lose ground, Close points out, the middle meats will have to gain $2 for every $1 they lose just to hold carcass values steady. Given the fragile state of the economy, anybody looking at placing cattle has to wonder how much feeder replacements are worth. Back to news

I'd thought the L75-L79 BG range was the worst for leveling via BGs. The Cata gear entering in at L77-L78 skewed the BG fairly heavily toward the top end of the BG, even more so than the average leveling BG due to the compressed nature of an entire expac to five levels. Having gone through that range twice now, once with a Lock in Cata and now on my Rogue in Mists, I figured I knew what I was talking about.
Seems that I was wrong.
When my Rogue hit L80 and entered into this BG field, with Blizz's internal adjustments my health was about 52-53k. I saw L84s with 84-90k health, and figured it wasn't too bad all things considering. I knew I'd have to run through either Vashj'ir or Hyjal to get enough Cata gear to compensate for losing most of my old Wrath and BoA gear*, although I had enough Honor farmed to get some good L270 PvP gear.
Things just looked better than the L75-L79 range, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Mists was in sight.
The first few battlegrounds I got into --Isle of Conquest, Eye of the Storm, and Warsong Gulch-- I was able to contribute to. I wasn't a terror out there, as I wasn't high enough level or had enough gear, but I held my own and wasn't a drag on the teams. Well, let's be realistic here: Children's Week bringing in a lot of unskilled PvPers helped me considerably.
Then came last night.
I was in an IoC battleground, and we'd quickly stormed the Horde Keep. I and two other people held back to defend the Keep while the rest went after Overlord Agmar. A lone Warlock showed up and gave battle, which even though Locks are much improved over the Cata version**, a Hunter, Druid and Rogue (me) should have no trouble dispatching him.
He blew through us in 20 seconds.
"What the hell was that?" I asked as we were waiting by the Spirit Guide.
"Did you see him?" the Druid added as we ran back to the Keep. "He had 180k health!"
"All I knew is that he one-shotted me and I had 66k!"
We made it back to the Keep and were joined by two more toons. It didn't help, as it took the Lock a mere 25 seconds to dispatch us all.
"Skip D-ing the Horde Keep," a DK said. "Just run in and kill the boss!"
"No kidding," I grumbled. "The Lock is more powerful than the boss!"
Needless to say, the Lock all by himself managed to win IoC for the Horde.
I was still shaking my head over this when I got into an Arathi Basin run. While the Horde didn't have a 180k health Lock roaming around, they had about half of their team over 100k.
"This is ridiculous," a DK said. "I might be able to take on one of them, but not a whole side. Just go ahead and let them 5 cap so we can get this over with."
"So Blizz didn't close that loophole in the gear that they started with Cata?"
"No, they didn't. What makes it worse is that while they can't queue up for it, a toon can be invited into a group running a Mists dungeon so they can get Mists blue gear. You've got guilds running their twinks through multiple runs just to get tricked out."
"And I thought L75-79 was bad. At least I didn't get one-shotted there."
"Yeah, the gear inflation isn't linear between Wrath Cata and MoP."
Well, it looks like my prediction about the BG issues back in Cata has come to pass in Mists. If Blizz isn't going to allow toons to migrate straight to Cata and Mists from L78 and L83 respectively, they ought to move the low end Cata and Mists gear to a requirement of L80 and L85. While the gear discrepancy is bad enough between Wrath and Cata, the non-linear nature of gear inflation has made it progressively worse between Cata and Mists. And while Blizz attempted to level things out a bit by raising the health level of the new L80s in battlegrounds, the L84s with access to blue Mists gear far outstrip any manual intervention Blizz accomplished.
I'm not going to hold my breath on any corrections any time soon, because this is the second expac that Blizz has let this go; obviously, they gain more by leaving things as they were than actually fixing this discrepancy. But from where I sit, this is just as bad as how weak Warlocks were in Cata. And we know how Blizz addressed that, don't we?
*I ended up with two Toxidunk Daggers due to the generosity of a fellow Rogue on the Ysera server, who saw I was at L78 and in AV at the time. The Rogue didn't want any gold, he just wanted to give the daggers to someone who was going to use them in BGs. Who said that Rogues were disreputable people, anyway? ;-)
**Apologies to Cynwise, but I felt like an old man griping that "I leveled a Lock via BGs when it was HARD, back in Cata, and all these young whippersnappers don't know what it's like to be Rogue chow!"

Evan Turner Injured On Dunk Attempt; Out Eight WeeksPosted by jstevrtc on December 5th, 2009
Usually when Ohio State's excellent Evan Turner goes up for a dunk, it ends with the crowd looking on in disbelief. Usually, that disbelief is a good thing. Not so, this afternoon. About seven minutes into the Buckeyes' tilt against Eastern Michigan earlier today, Turner took a strong dribble into the lane, went up for a two-handed jam, took light contact going up, and couldn't keep his grip on the rim as his legs kept going forward. Turner was parallel to the ground…and then fell flat, producing that terrible disconcerting sound that you only hear with that particular type of fall.
Initial x-rays were negative, but more sensitive CT imaging at the OSU Med Center showed fractures of the transverse processes of the second and third lumbar vertebrae.
The transverse processes are places where other ligaments and muscles attatch, lending to the flexibility of the area. If there is no associated injury, transverse process fractures are almost always treated conservatively — that is, with rest and relaxation. Sometimes patients will have to wear a corset or something similar to add stability for a while, but if you allow proper healing time, the long-term stability of the lower back usually isn't affected. Turner will be out eight weeks, though. The length of his convalescence is because, unlike a broken arm or leg, this is not a part of the body that you can just slap into a cast and let it heal.
December is indeed a cruel month for the OSU basketball program. Last December, of course, it was forward David Lighty who broke his foot and was out for the rest of the season, changing the complexion of the Buckeyes' entire 2008-09 campaign. It's always unfortunate when any player gets hurt and misses so much time, but Evan Turner is by all reports one of the true great guys in the game. We hope his recovery goes well.

Hairopoulos: Kyle Field's $450 million face lift will put Aggies up there with the big boys
COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M's Board of Regents on Wednesday approved a landmark, $450 million redevelopment plan that should turn beloved-yet-tired Kyle Field into Aggieland's piece de resistance.
"Kyle Field is a megaphone to the world, whether you like it or not," said A&M system chancellor John Sharp. "The megaphone we're fixin' to build is going to be the loudest on the planet."
With a planned capacity of 102,500, it will certainly be one of the largest. The new Kyle Field will surpass Texas' Royal-Memorial Stadium as the biggest college football stadium in the state, will be 45 seats bigger than Tennessee's Neyland Stadium to take the lead in the SEC and will rank third nationally.
Sharp feigned surprise when asked about Kyle's new-found rankings.
"It was the recommendation of the architect, and we didn't argue," he said. "We don't follow other folk anymore. We kind of do our own thing."
The scope of the project is partly the result of the momentum A&M has amassed with its recent move to the SEC. That's only been helped with the Aggies' 11-2 season in 2012 and quarterback Johnny Manziel winning the Heisman Trophy.
The plan calls for a mix of honoring A&M's all-important traditions, adding newfound creature comforts and enhancing the Aggies' home-field advantage.
"Kyle Field will serve as a monument to the uniqueness that is only Texas A&M," said the narrator of a video that laid out the highlights for the regents. "This is our time, this is our moment. Together, we will grasp greatness."
The major work is scheduled to begin following the 2013 season and be finished by August 2015, despite working around football season so the Aggies can continue to play at Kyle, their home since 1927.
A&M officials cited the school's growing alumni base as a reason for expanding to more than 100,000, from Kyle's current 82,589 capacity.
"We had healthy discussions," A&M athletic director Eric Hyman said. "If you look at the growth of Texas A&M and what the future has in store, this is a facility that has an ability to meet our needs. It's a facility we'll grow into eventually."
What about filling it when A&M hosts those low-profile nonconference opponents or if the team suffers a down year?
"Records do matter. I have stood there when it wasn't so much fun," said A&M president R. Bowen Loftin. "Aggies tend to be there when we win or lose."
The financial plan relies on donations and bonds that will be paid for by seat licenses and ticket sales, along with an increase of student fees (an average of $36.30 per student) and a new hotel tax.
Hyman said a fundraising campaign is already underway and the reception has been exceptional. But that doesn't mean this project isn't challenging, from the cost to the fast timeline.
"This is a daunting challenge," Hyman said "It's powerful, ambitious, aggressive, iconic."
The design released Wednesday came after a thorough research process by A&M and architectural firm Populous.
It calls for sweeping changes both in and outside of the stadium, which will be surrounded by plazas and parks that pay tribute to A&M traditions such as the 12th Man and Aggie War Hymn.
While plans call for 31,000 always-standing students to remain on a partially rebuilt east side, new premium seating areas will be significant. That includes loge boxes, luxury suites and a premium club that will extend from goal line to goal line on the second deck of the west side.
The stadium will be enclosed and have canopies on the east and west sides to trap the noise. The field will be lowered, and fans will be moved closer to the field. The north end zone, Kyle's most modern addition, will largely be left as is, while the south end zone will be created to offer more seating and amenities.
Because construction will be done in phases to allow A&M to continue to play at Kyle, it is expected the capacity for the 2014 season will actually be 107,000-109,000, which could lead to attendance records being set.
Earl Santee, head architect, said the final version could have a standing-room area to accommodate about 3,000. He said his capacity plan never involved topping Texas or other SEC schools.
"This isn't the be-all, end-all of the university," Loftin said. "But it is in fact a way in which people see us. We've all seen over the last year in particular, a heightened interest in Texas A&M."

DNA and chromatin can be stained with dyes that bind externally to the double helix. The most popular fluorochromes in this category are 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and the bisbenzimide Hoechst dyes that are designated by the numbers 33258, 33342, and 34580. These probes are quite water-soluble and bind externally to AT-rich base pair clusters in the minor groove of double-stranded DNA with a dramatic increase in fluorescence intensity. Both dye classes can be stimulated by the 351-nanometer spectral line of high-power argon-ion lasers or the 354-nanometer line from a helium-cadmium laser. Similar to the acridines and phenanthridines, these fluorescent probes are popular choices as a nuclear counterstain for use in multicolor fluorescent labeling protocols. The vivid blue fluorescence emission produces dramatic contrast when coupled to green, yellow, and red probes in adjacent cellular structures.
The culture of rat kangaroo kidney epithelial (PtK2) cells featured in the digital image presented above was immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-vimentin mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to Rhodamine Red-X. Vimentin is a protein present in the intermediate filaments of cells derived from the mesoderm. The cell culture was also counterstained for DNA with DAPI. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

With an announcement of what many may have already known, the triple-A auto club warned of a "public safety crisis" from voice command technology that allows drivers text and send emails.
According this article, "The head of Triple-A's Foundation for Traffic Safety says when people are distracted by another task, they can develop what researchers call "inattention blindness." They look straight ahead, but fail to see what's in front of them — like red lights and pedestrians.
There are about 9 million cars and trucks on the road with infotainment systems, and Triple-A says that's expected to jump to about 62 million vehicles by 2018. Officials with the auto group say they want to limit the voice-driven technologies to "core driving tasks" — instead of activities like posting Facebook messages and ordering pizza."
I don't know about you, but the fact that talking your email isn't any safer than holding a phone to your ear is not news. What do you think? Do you think dashboard technology makes your driving safer or are you distracted more?
