Farmed Fish Need to Keep Fit
In the wild, salmon, tuna or other active, migrating fish get a lot of exercise. But when these fish are raised in captivity, without predators or the need to fight their way upstream against the current, they turn into fish couch-potatoes.
And not unlike sedentary humans, lethargic fish are more prone to getting sick. As many as 20 percent of farmed salmon die in captivity—apparently, because they're simply out of shape.
A new technical book called Swimming Physiology of Fish presents scientific research on how various training routines, water turbulence, diet and even the use of robotic fish as "swim trainers" can keep captive fish conditioned.
This "fishical" fitness research has shown that when captive salmon exercise regularly, they grow bigger, have stronger hearts and immune systems, and are healthier than their sedentary brethren. For example, a Norwegian study found that when salmon had to swim against an artificial current they were much less likely to get a common fish virus than their buddies in still water. [Vincente Castro et al., Aerobic training stimulates growth and promotes disease resistance in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)]
The bottom line? Healthier profits for fish farmers, and healthier fish on your dinner table.

I was extremely lucky recently to be sent a gift box from Abel and Cole to try some of the items from their "kitchen cupboard – baking" section. I've showcased these items elsewhere, but included in my box were some of the most gorgeous gooseberries I've ever tasted. Now, I know what you're going to say, " but this fool can't be made with gooseberries – gooseberries are green!".
Well, these are dessert gooseberries and are the same colour as a black grape. They are also much sweeter than the green gooseberry and taste like fruit punch, yet all from one fruit!
Well, these are dessert gooseberries and are the same colour as a black grape. They are also much sweeter than the green gooseberry and taste like fruit punch, yet all from one fruit!
Whilst making this, I pondered whether any dessert had a less fortunate name! Gooseberry is always used disparagingly – it's the unwanted person in a trio. Fool is obviously not a compliment. So I searched the net to find out why such a tasty dessert would be labelled a fool. As with much of life, there are no straightforward answers.
'Foole' is first mentioned as a dessert in 1598. Some people say that the word 'fool' comes from the French "fouler" meaning to crush, but the Oxford English Dictionary dismisses this as without evidence. Maybe we'll never know....it's something to ponder whilst tucking into a bowlful of nature's delights!
350g gooseberries ( I used dessert gooseberries)
1 tablespoon water
75g (or to taste) caster sugar
300ml double cream
200g cold, fresh custard
How to make:
- Place the washed gooseberries in a saucepan with the water and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. There's no need to top and tail the fruit as the pulp will be sieved later.
- Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring to ensure the fruit breaks down.
- Puree in a food processor, then sieve the ensure that all the pips are removed.
- Stir in the sugar, then leave to cool completely.
- Whip the cream until it reaches the soft peak stage.
- Fold in the custard.
- Fold in the gooseberry puree. Don't over stir as it's nice to have a marbled texture.
- Spoon into dessert glasses.
- Chill until required.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Oh, that sounds just lovely! You all are making me want to bust out my cake decorating supplies!
I agree! When I was in eighth grade, a bunch of girlfriends (one of whom knew how to bake) and I threw a surprise birthday party for another friend. The night before the party, I showed up at the baker's house with a big back of candied flowers and other pretty things and we had the time of our lives decorating.
I havent' done much baking since then, aside from brownies for long rehearsals. But I'm intrigued now. I have a question--what's the difference between cake flour and All-purpose? And does it really matter if I use cake flour? I have a recipe in mind for when my partner comes back from his vacation in China next week but it calls for cake AND all-purpose flour. Advice?
PS Congrats Dairy Queen, and I hope we hear all about your decorating results.

Lady Amalthea: what a lovely story about the Cake-A-Thon for your friend! I'm sure that she probably has the same wonderful memory of that time as you do!
I had to look over my shoulder so see "who" was writing this post...ME??? About 'Cake Flour'???? Well, in all my research on All Things Cake, I've read and read and read about stuff, so the facts are right at my fingertips.
In the process of baking, wheat flours are the main ingredient in most products. Wheat has two main growing cycles, Spring Wheat or Winter Wheat. These cycles, along with the region and soil content produce soft and hard wheat, or wheat with a high starch content or high gluten content. The high amount of, or lack of gluten protein is what gives wheat flour its baking qualities.
All-Purpose Flour:
Developed for the home baker. A general all-purpose flour useful for cookies, muffins, rolls and some breads. The flour is usually made out of hard red winter wheat and/or soft winter wheat. The flour is usually bleached, malted and enriched. Typically this flour contains a protein level between 9.0% to 11.0%.
Bread Flour:
A flour that typically has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour capable of producing breads and rolls of excellent quality. The flour is usually made with a greater percentage of hard red winter or hard red spring wheat which have higher gluten content giving the bread dough the elastic quality necessary for greater product volume. Protein levels vary from 10.5%-12.0%. The flour is usually malted, enriched and can be unbleached or bleached. Common applications include breads, pizza crusts and specialty baked goods.
High Gluten Flour:
The highest gluten content of all of the wheat flours used for baking. This flour comes from Hard Winter or Spring Wheat, and has a gluten content from 12-13%. This flour is used for dough needing extra strength and elasticity such as pizza, focaccia, mullet-grain breads and Kaiser rolls.
Whole Wheat Flour:
Also called graham flour is flour milled form the whole grain, it contains all of the bran and germ from the wheat berry. Most whole wheat are made out a hard red wheat, but hard white wheat (a white wheat berry is "whiter in appearance" than a red wheat berry) is gaining in popularity due to its lighter appearance and naturally sweeter taste. It is used for breads, rolls and some pastries. Because it contains the germ and bran, it retains vital nutrients. It needs to be used fresh, and stored properly as it gets rancid quickly due to the high fat content from the wheat germ. Typical protein levels range from 11.5%-14.0% and most whole wheat flours are enriched.
Self-Rising Flour:
Self-rising flour is typically all-purpose flour (flour made from hard red winter or soft red winter wheat) blended with baking soda and salt. The flour is predominantly used for scratch biscuits, pancakes and cookies. Protein levels run from 9.5%-11.5% and the flour is enriched. This type of flour cannot have a very high protein level other wise baked end-products will not have a light and fluffy texture and will not "relax" during the baking or cooking process.
Cake Flour:
Usually bleached, and of soft texture and smooth feel. It is milled from soft winter wheat. It has a low protein or gluten content, and produces cakes with a tender crumb. Protein content is typically 8.5%-10% and the flour is enriched.
Pastry Flour:
This flour can be bleached or unbleached. Used for cookies and pastries. It too comes from soft winter wheat, and is very starchy. It has a low protein content, and produces pies and pastries with a flaky or tender consistency. Protein content is typically 8.5%-10% and the flour is enriched.
Vital Wheat Gluten:
Flour milled from the pure gluten derived from washing the wheat flour to remove the starch. The gluten that remains is dried, ground into a powder and used to strengthen flours lacking in gluten, such as rye or other non-wheat flours.
Other types of Flours: Non-Wheat
Rye Flour:
Flour ground from the cereal grass grain rye (Gramineae). It is grown in the northern part of the United States, Canada, Eastern Europe and Russia. It has a very low gluten content (less than 2%) and is usually blended with wheat flour to produce a lighter loaf. In artisan baking, rye flour is fermented and makes very acceptable loaves. The flat breads of Scandinavia are produced from rye flours.
Oat Flour:
Flour ground from another cereal grass (Gramineae).
It is used in combination with wheat flours to produce tasty breads with excellent keeping qualities, and the bran from oat flour has been found to lower cholesterol.
Soy Flour:
Flour derived from the soybean seeds (Leguminosae)
Soy flour has very little starch, but is extremely high in protein.It is considered a complete protein for the human diet. It is used only as supplement to breads to increase the nutritional protein as it is low in gluten.
According to THE JOY OF COOKING: In emergencies, although the results will NOT be the same, you may substitute 1 Cup
2 TABLESPOONS of sifted All Purpose Flour=1 Cup of Cake Flour
(I'm just trying to imagine what constitutes a "Cake Emergency?"
Lady Amalthea: I opened up a Photo Bucket account, and plan on taking photos of each class that I take, so I'll be able to share the horror and success stories...and the photos!

Dairy Queen: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful flour research! I'm convinced; I'll but some "farine a gateau" tomorrow. My partner comes home from a three-week trip to Asia on Tuesday and I'd love to have a fresh-baked fruity something when he gets in. I'm thinking of an orange or clementine (I have so many in the house and the season's almost over!) based cakey thing. But I want it to be light, so I'll use that cake flour.
I can't wait to see your decorating pictures!

with Storage Hobo Shoulder Protective Medium Womens Silver ADAL Genuine Italian LIATALIA Metallic Leather Floral Bag Bag Snake w4qvUx8
Bag Crocodile Leather Handbags Top Claret Padlock Women Handle Cerro Catedral Ski Resort has the most modern resort base in South America, including a shopping mall and accommodation options with more than 5,000 beds within walking distance to the main lifts. Access to the most popular resort in Patagonia is a paved road (not as common as you would think in Argentina) with a variety of easy transportation options both from nearby San Carlos de Bariloche and the Bariloche airport (airport code BRC). Bariloche itself is a fun tourist city with great restaurants, nightlife and once off the busy main avenues, stunning Patagonia scenery.
Depending on the time in the ski season you visit, Cerro Catedral's ski center can be quite busy as it is one of the most popular resorts in South America. It is known as the place to ski and snowboard in Patagonia. If you want to ski Bariloche, we recommend August and early September.
With 20 years guiding here, PowderQuest knows how to move around the Bariloche ski areas to avoid the crowds, make the most of the resort on a powder day and navigate the complicated maze of cat tracks. It's one of our most popular stops on our guided trips due to the fun in-bounds snowboard and ski terrain filled with sweeping open powder bowls and quality groomed runs, plus it is one of the few South American ski resorts with serious tree skiing. Outstanding access to extensive backcountry terrain including a remote hut system for extended overnight trips.
The section of the Andes mountain range surrounding Bariloche is nothing short of stunning. The granite Cathedral spires for which the resort is named (Catedral in spanish) are similar to the mountains around France's Chamonix; and the views across the National Park Nahuel Huapi, toward 3,554m Mt. Tronador; downtown and across the Andes towards Chile's lake region, are simply incredible.
Insider Tips
Here are some insider tips and ideas from our ski guides and locals that know the terrain and resorts like no other.
Important: Many of the areas described involve riding in non controlled avalanche terrain. Know your stuff, carry the right equipment and be smart. If you have any doubts, or even if you don't, come join us on a PowderQuest guided tour. We will take you to the best skiing available with nothing for you to do but to enjoy what we have spent the last 2 decades figuring out!
Phil Gautier: Get down and boogie with Brazilian and Argentine tourist until 6am but don't forget to get up early because this beast can get crowded and you'll need a head start to get away from the savy locals. Refugio Frey is just that, a refuge from the crowds most of the ski season and awesome couloir skiing.
Mo Rasiah: Try and beat the locals to Laguna. If not the finger couloirs are nearby. Watch out for the bamboo or you could be in for a long bushwack! the locals favorites Palmeras and Segunda Lomo are also great runs, you just gotta time them right. The apres scene is not too be missed, as is watching the hoards of school kids learning how to ski in one piece suits from the 1980's.
Terrain – freestylePatent PIXIE Clutch Nude PU Leather Size Medium Bag HwOSq15w
The Catedral terrain park in the Nubes zone is one of the most progressive and established ski and snowboard parks in all of South America. A dedicated lift and a full time staff of both grooming and snow park specialists have helped develop this park into one of the best. There are features and sections for all abilities from those just being introduced to terrain parks all the way to skiers and riders looking to push the limits of the sport.
A full calendar of skiing and snowboarding events assures there is almost always action to watch through both night time contests at the base area to globally recognized series taking place in the park.
Terrain – experts
Experts have a range of off-piste options as well as backcountry chutes and bowls and hikes including Refugio Frey Hut, for backcountry ski touring and splitboarding. The Southern side of the mountain offers excellent hikes to the steep chutes, bowls and cliff bands of Punta Nevada and La Laguna on the resorts backside.
To access the best terrain, be sure to go with a certified ski guide in Bariloche such as one of our PowderQuest adventures or if you are traveling solo, understand the current snowpack and weather, always carrying avalanche safety equipment. Cell phone service is spotty once out of the resort.
Terrain – Intermediates
A large portion of the resort is dedicated to intermediate skiers and snowboarders, and the staff does an average job on their grooming to keep the pistes running throughout the season. Off the piste you can practice your skills in a mix of packed powder and of course fresh pow after a storm.
Suggested trip for intermediates Ski Progression Adventure
Snowboarding Bariloche? A note to those looking to snowboard Catedral. There tends to be quite a bit of traversing involved to get to certain zones on the mountain, so be prepared. The lift operators are strict about using a snowboard leash. No shirt, no shoes, no leash? No dice!
Beginners and non-skiers
There is plenty of playing to be done at this resort. You can take a lesson, rent snowbikes, or go tubing. Aside from that, just take in the amazing views across the lakes and mountain ranges or enjoy yourself in the shopping mall or plaza at the base. Non skiers can also take the tram to have lunch at a refugio up on the mountain to fully experience and enjoy the breathtaking views from high on the mountain. If you prefer to stay downtown, there are endless things to do in Bariloche from shopping, people watching, touring the local cafes and chocolate shops, or taking it easy around the central plazas.
Resort experience
Of all the resorts in South America, Catedral has one of the most international feels. There is a huge variety of après options, packed event schedule filled with unique events like snow polo and fireworks displays, spa options and nightlife both at the base and in the city. July is the busiest month. Bariloche ski season runs from June to October.
Value and ticket prices
One of the more expensive ski resort lift tickets in Argentina however due to the huge amount of terrain that can be accessed, we find it to balance out in comparison to some of the smaller resorts.

June 13, 2011
LOS ANGELES -- In its second quarterly report of 2011, the UCLA Anderson Forecast acknowledges a steadily growing Gross Domestic Product, but says that the current level of growth falls short of the levels necessary for a true recovery in the national economy. The California forecast echoes and reinforces the March '11 release, calling for slow growth through the end of the year as the state attempts to re-generate the 1.3 million jobs lost in the recession while also finding work from new entrants to the labor force.
The National Forecast
In his June 2011 report, UCLA Anderson Forecast Director Edward Leamer predicts "normal growth" for the U.S. economy through 2013, with "normal" defined as "3% GDP growth with payrolls growing at 150,000-200,000 per month and unemployment stuck at high levels." But "normal" does not equate to a "recovery." In the report, titled "No Recovery In Sight," Leamer differentiates between normal growth and the type of growth necessary for real recovery from the recent recession. In a "recovery," the economy would experience "5-6% growth with payrolls growing at 250,000-300,000 per month and unemployment falling noticeably." The differentiation is not a matter of semantics. Leamer notes that a recovery is not simply a matter of the economy returning to where it was when the recession began; instead it's a return to trend - a matter of the economy getting to where it would have been had there been no recession - and that requires more than 3% GDP growth.
Leamer identifies the "personal consumption expenditures" (PCE) segment of GDP as a key sector preventing normal growth from rising to recovery, with the housing and automobile sectors the major culprits. "In summary," Leamer writes, "this economic illness is concentrated in the postponable components of GDP: home building and housing services, consumer durables and transportation services and producer durables." In sum, until consumers start buying homes and cars, the recovery remains in the future. On the employment front, Leamer believes that a robust job recovery is prevented by permanent displacements of millions of workers whose jobs are now performed by a combination of technological advances and low-wage foreign workers, along with construction and retail jobs that are not likely to return. "In other words, we have as many as 5.5 million workers who are permanently displaced and only about 3 million that are likely to be recalled," Leamer said, "That's a tough problem which is largely unresponsive to the fiscal and monetary medicine we have been taking. It is likely to take a very long time for those 5.5 million displaced workers to find jobs again, and in the meantime the economy will grow, but not as robustly as in traditional recoveries when the recalls were almost 100%."
The California Forecast
California's forecast, authored by Senior Economist Jerry Nickelsburg, remains substantially the same as it was in March - a continuing period of slow growth with stress in the labor markets. In his report, titled "A Breather in the Process of Recovery," Nickelsburg cites two key elements impeding California's recovery. The first lies in the national forecast, which calls for slower growth in consumer spending. The second is a shift occurring in the residential construction sector.
The forecast calls for 1.7% employment growth in 2011, 2.4% in 2012 and 3.1% in 2013. Unemployment will continue to fall through the year, averaging 11.7% in 2011. Employment growth won't push the unemployment rate below double-digits until the second quarter of 2013, reaching 9.2% by the end of that year. Real personal income growth is forecast to be 1.7% in 2011, and 3.3% and 3.8% in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
The shift in residential construction is rooted in demographics and geography. The demographic shift, confirmed by the 2010 Census suggests a significant shift in demand towards condominiums and apartments. As a result, future construction will move towards multi-family units. This hurts inland California in three ways. First, workers are less likely to move inland into an apartment and commute towards the coast. Secondly, fewer construction workers are required to build multi-family units and thirdly, the inland areas of California are more dependent on construction to fuel its regional economy than coastal areas. Taken together, these shifts are going to be a significant drag on inland California economies that in turn becomes a drag on the state's economy as a whole.
About UCLA Anderson Forecast
UCLA Anderson Forecast is one of the most widely watched and often-cited economic outlooks for California and the nation and was unique in predicting both the seriousness of the early-1990s downturn in California and the strength of the state's rebound since 1993. More recently, the Forecast was credited as the first major U.S. economic forecasting group to declare the recession of 2001. Visit UCLA Anderson Forecast on the Web at http://uclaforecast.com.

Sometimes, the most sexist and oppressive environments for women are created by, well, other women.
Though this memo from a women's committee that recently circulated a top law firm does not enforce rules against vests or wearing a color other than pink on Wednesdays, its insulting level of micromanagement feels just as extreme.
A few choice excerpts:
-"Wear a suit, not your party outfit"
-"Don't dress like a mortician; if wearing a black suit, wear something bright."
-"Make sure you can stand in your heels, not trip, don't rock back on them."
-Vocally, "Think Lauren Bacall, not Marilyn Monroe"
-"Pretend you're in moot court, not the high school cafeteria"
Since the memo, entitled "Presentation Tips for Women" reads like a catty sorority email, it's hard to remember who the intended audience is here: educated, professional, adults.
So what's worse? The assumption that grown women are incapable of dressing themselves and speaking intelligently? Or the fact that those sexist assumptions come from a Women's Committee? Presumably made up of women?
Many of these "tips" are in fact technically unisex, albeit painfully obvious, and a recipient of the email wrote that "[F]emale associates are very upset by not only the elementary nature of the tips themselves, but the suggestion that these would only apply to women. We have never been a very female friendly firm, but this is beyond the pale."
The parts of the memo that are specially female-related only serve to underscore that traits associated with womanhood (a high voice, visible female form) are at odds with competence--but also that it's wrong to mimic men (your clothes should be "bright" and you shouldn't repeat outfits).
So basically… these are our takeaways. Ladies, take notes:
1. There's no way you can possibly dress correctly
All black and covered up? Stop being so dowdy and out of touch! Shorter and fitted? No one's going to pay attention to your presentation if your body is showing! And if you magically found the outfit that walks the impossible line between "with it" and "too attractive," if better not be one you took your program photo in.
2. Your voice is wrong
Don't giggle or sounds girlish, but have some sexuality in your voice, ie: the Lauren Bacall suggestion. You can't look old or masculine, but you must sound it. (The memo helpfully informs that "your voice is higher than you hear," which is evidently a bad thing). Also, women are problematically nasally. Who knew!
3. You sound dumb
Is it crazy to assume that a woman who made it through law school and landed a job at a major firm probably won't say things like "dunno"? Also, is it just us, or are "like, um, uh, you know, ok," are all words that men occasionally use? Their gender clearly protects them from sounding like Valley Girls, but Biglaw women are in grave danger.
4. You have no idea how to carry yourself as an adult
Don't "squirm, giggle, tilt your head, waves your arms"… wait, I think we confused this memo with the one meant for toddlers. Whoops!
Do you think this memo is necessary or over the top? Can you imagine a mixed audience receiving similar tips? Can we all just take a moment, as we worry that women can't dress themselves, to remember how incompetent men can be? Weigh in below!

Greenwich woman says service dog attacked in Darien
Amy Dixon relies on a guide dog to help her get around despite limited vision, but the Greenwich resident felt even more vulnerable when she was forced to protect her companion recently after she says the dog was attacked by an off-leash animal in Darien.
Dixon -- who works in the restaurant industry and calls herself the Blind Sommelier -- was in Darien on business Sunday, and was on her way back to the train station with her Labrador retriever, Elvis, when another dog approached them.
In a flash, the other animal, which Dixon said was likely a cattle dog, yanked Elvis to the ground. Dixon said she lunged to protect her dog, spraining her ankle. She then engaged in a tug of war with the other canine, which had grabbed Elvis by the neck, and finally wrenched him free.
Dixon then called the police, and said the other dog owner shouted her name and address before fleeing.
A Darien police spokesman could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Dixon, 37, said she plans to press charges against the owner, who violated a town law that requires dogs to be kept on leashes while on public property. State law also requires dog owners to control their pets on a leash, and if their dog attacks a service animal, they can be required to foot the bill for veterinary care or to replace the service dog.
The situation is harrowing for people like Dixon, who depend on service dogs to maintain their independence.
Dixon developed uveitis, an autoimmune disease involving the eye, at age 22, and has since lost the majority of her vision. She got Elvis four years ago from Guiding Eyes for the Blind. The nonprofit, based in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., extensively trains the service dogs, which are given to people who need them.
"There's a leash law for a reason," Dixon said. "Obviously, somebody who is disabled is not going to be able to defend themselves from a loose dog."
The organization sent a staff member to Dixon's house after the alleged attack. Dixon said Elvis is physically OK, but will require some extra training to make sure the attack won't prevent him from doing his job. Dixon said she will limit Elvis's exposure to other dogs that he doesn't know for next few weeks, and limit her travel.
Michelle Brier, a spokeswoman for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, said guide dogs aren't attacked frequently, but when they are, it can be harrowing for both the owner and the dogs, whose stable dispositions make it difficult for the service animals to defend themselves.
"They're not at all trained for protection in any way," Brier said.
While the situation could have been worse, Dixon said the attack left her shaken.
"I encounter dozens of dogs every day in downtown Greenwich," Dixon said. "The No. 1 reason I moved here (was) because I don't have car. I can get everywhere I need to on foot, and now I'm afraid to leave the house."
In the meantime, Dixon said she is working with state Rep. Alfred Camillo, R-151st District, on legislation that would provide dog owners with the text of the leash laws when licensing their dogs.
Camillo, who has long been an animal advocate, said it is important for pet owners to be aware of the responsibility they have.
"Whether they read it or not, that's their business," Camillo said. "They've been forewarned. You have to have common sense and common courtesy. It could only help."

This county has a total area of 6,862 km². The relief can be split into 3 distinctive parts. In the north side there are the mountains, from the Southern Carpathians group - the Făgăraş Mountains with Moldoveanu Peak (2,544 m), Negoiu Peak (2,535 m) and Vanatoarea lui Buteanu peak (2,508 m) towering the region, and in the North-East part the Leaotă Mountains. Between them there is a pass towards Braşov, the Rucăr-Bran Passage. The heights decrease, and in the center there are the sub-carpathian hills, with heights around 800 m, crossed with very deep valleys. In the south there is the northern part of the Romanian Plain.The main river that crosses the county is the Argeş River in which almost all the other rivers coming from the mountains flow. In the south the main rivers are the Vedea River and the Teleorman River.

The hill you see behind the train line is the deposit of gypsum that the factories of Yara (formerly Kemira) have produced. In the 1950s the phosphate deposit was found and the production started in 1969. In 2010, the plant produced over eleven million tonnes of landfill of which one and half million tonnes are gypsum. Note how the tracks are colored pink/magenta from the ore.
Finland is the jam. It came from an exploding egg, the egg of a water bird, the top half of which you can still see in the shape of the starry canopy that hangs over the earth.Finland is the most sparsely-populated country in the EU with only 5 million people. It's also been ranked the second most stable country in the world, after Norway.Historically, Finland has been a part of Sweden and later, Russia. It was an autonomous Grand Duchy during the Russian Empire's reign and lasted as such until their declaration of independence in 1917. Subsequently Finland survived a civil war and wars against both Russia and Nazi Germany to eventually settle down as an EU member circa 1955.Finnish language is cool, it's totally unrelated to the whole Latin-root thing. Its closest relative is Hungarian. Linguistic historians estimate that it came from northern central Russia from 3000BC.If you're in Helsinki, the museum at Suomenlinna has some interesting bunkers and military wreckage, including a submarine!Caught on camera! Here's your long-awaited proof. Santa Claus comes from Finland.Apart from Lappland, the other thing most people are familiar with out of Finland is aquavite. Literally it translates to "water of life" but it may make you feel more like you are dying when it hits your throat.Text by Steve Smith.

Alternative routes based on teaching equivalency or portfolio evaluations are not typical but are offered in a select number of states. In states where it is offered, the teaching equivalency pathway allows prospective educators to substitute experience teaching in private or post-secondary schools (in which a teaching license is not usually required) for the usual requirement of completing professional teacher preparation. States that have this option include
Versace Leather Cutout Mules Excellent Cheap Online oRIkTpQLv
, Nevada , Comfortiva Almyra TieFront Spectator Heel Womens Lowest Price Sale Online zhO4L
, and Wisconsin .
Portfolio evaluations are a less-common alternative related to teaching equivalency pathways. States that accept portfolio evaluations usually require candidates to demonstrate through teaching experience that they meet state standards for educators without having graduated from a teacher preparation program. States with licensure by portfolio evaluation include

, Minnesota , New Mexico , and Stuart Weitzman Embossed Buckle Loafers Discount Sale Online Sale Discount Buy Cheap Outlet Locations Sale Factory Outlet o1BuSOkaDD
Question : How do I become a teacher if I already have a bachelor's degree?Question
Answer : Most states offer alternative pathways that are specifically designed for those who majored in another subject and wish to become a teacher without an education or teaching degree. To become a teacher if you didn't major in education, in most states you will need to complete an alternative teacher preparation program. These programs typically must be approved by the state's board of education and lead to a post-graduate certificate or a master's degree plus licensure. Many states have approved online alternative programs to allow working professionals a degree of flexibility in completing the requirements.Answer
Question : How do I become a teacher if I don't have a degree?
Answer : To become a teacher without a degree, the recommended route is to complete a bachelor's degree that includes a teacher preparation program. However, if you have several years of professional experience in a career and technical education subject, you may be able to substitute this experience for the typical degree requirement and become a career and technical education teacher. There are also "career switcher" programs in some states for those who wish to transition to the classroom. Check with your state's teacher licensing agency for current guidelines and options.
Question : How do I become a teacher if I have a master's degree?
Answer : If you already have a master's degree but did not major in education, you may be eligible for accelerated or intensive teacher preparation if such a program is available in your state. You may also be able to teach in private schools to gain experience in order to apply for teacher licensure by portfolio without completing additional education. States that have alternate routes that may accelerate licensure for those who have already completed post-graduate education include Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

For each grammar, the terminal symbols are drawn from a specified alphabet.
Starting from a sentence consisting of a single distinguished nonterminal, called the goal symbol , a given context-free grammar specifies a language , namely, the (perhaps infinite) set of possible sequences of terminal symbols that can result from repeatedly replacing any nonterminal in the sequence with a right-hand side of a production for which the nonterminal is the left-hand side.

Dear Lenovo,
I want a full refund to my Lenovo Think Pad T410s which is currently at one of your service centers. (serial number: xxxxxxx)
I am an extremely unsatisfied customer. Over the last 8 months of owning your top of the line T-Series ThinkPad I have developed the feeling that I have been tricked into buying an inferior product which is/was inaccurately marketed/advertised as the Gold Standard Business class computer. My dealings with service/support has left me feeling like the #1 CSAT rating you received is another of the many lies. My entire experience with Lenovo/IBM/ThinkPad has left my angered, insulted, feeling dooped and therefore *****Expletives removed by Moderator***** off.
I'm a young professional and got a job at a HUGE World-Wide Fortune 500 tech company. When I went looking for a new computer, I wanted one that was bullet proof-- like my Dell 600m (I still have it, And I'm using it now; 7 years old, dropped on concrete multiple times, spilled water on it, and all I've had to do is replace the hard drive 4 years in). So to get ideas for good computers, I talked to some techs at work and they said they have always had good luck with the T-Series Think Pads. I went on your website and was wowed by the marketing claims and advertisements. In case you forget I'll share them with you and the rest of the world. Feel free to skip, I certainly did not when buying my computer.
MARKETING ON Lenovo's WEBSITE REGARDING ThinkPad's T-series, not specifically T410s.
Currently being advertised:
Think Pad: "The ultimate business tool... Rock solid durability"
"Whether you're an overachiever, or an up and comer, ThinkPad laptops are the tools you need. From thin and Light to heavy duty mobile workstations, they're BUILT, TESTED and ENHCANCED FOR RELIABILITY, DURABILITY, and speed."
Pealing the onion further I clicked on "Tortured Tested":
"ThinkPad notebooks endure a lot before they ever reach you. We (Lenovo) meticulously design many of them to PASS RUGGED MILITARY TESTS. We outfit them with spill resistant keyboards, roll-cage technology, and shock mounted hard drives. And we test them in ways you can't imagine, BAKING, BATTERING, BLISTERING and BLOWING them with sand."
>I checked and the T400's are supposed to be tested to these military specifications.
THINK PAD T Series:
"Our Finest Technology for your finest hours.... You're propelled to seize any opportunity that knocks on your door. Our HIGH PERFORMANCE Think Pad T Series Laptops complement that drive with LEGENDARY QUALITY, ROCK SOLID DURABILITY, and exceptional security features."
Pealing the onion further under "Heroic Durability":
"Baked, battered, blistered, by the elements over and over, THE T SERIES SETS THE HIGHEST STANDARD FOR CORE THINKPAD STRENGTH. ITS HIT THE GYM THE HARDEST and ENDURED THE TOUGHEST WORKOUTS JUST SO YOU CAN EFFORTLESSLY slicing thought waves of work"
"LAPTOP: Lenovo Think Pad T-Series has been the GOLD STANDARD for business Notebooks"
Not only was the marketing/advertising great I read reviews on CNET, You tube, Lenovo forums, which gave specifically the T410s high honors. I was a little set back by the steep price but If it would get a "quality", "durable", well tested, "gold standard business computer" that is exactly what I wanted. So I forked over the Two-thousand five-hundred eight-four dollars and forty-one cents ($2,584.41) to get my top of the line "gold standard business computer". With the computer I bought a neoprene laptop case from Amazon which my computer ThinkPad 100% of the time kept when it is not in use, or traveling.
The computer arrived and worked flawlessly for 4 months. I could do my work at work and use it at home exceeding all my needs.
In late January, I noticed My ThinkPad was having issues using with flash based websites and Excel pivot tables with over 500,000 lines of data. I posted my concern on notebook reviews.com (FEBRUARY Post: http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/554590-410s-slows-down-when-i-watch.html) and did a little of my own research. The outcome was that I thought that my network wireless router was too slow and that flash based websites really do consume a lot of computer resources. So I spent more money to upgrade my internet and upgrade to a wireless N router.
It seemed to help a bit, but randomly my CPU resources would jump up to 100% for minutes at a time and freeze everything I was doing on my computer. I was starting to be a little peeved by this but I gave Lenovo the benefit of the doubt and started updating drivers to figure out what was going on.
In March, a hair line crack started to form in both the palm rests. Since I have never dropped my computer I was baffled as to how this would happen. So I Googled "T410s palm rest cracking" The whole first page of search results netted people experiencing the same thing.
To name a few:
> nine page thread on Lenovo Forums!
>another separate 1 page thread on Lenovo Forums!
>10 posts on this ThinkPad forums
>a post on a Mercedes Benz forum
>EVEN A you tube video on how to replace the palm rests!
I called Lenovo service mid-March and they said there was no issue with the design of the T410s palm rests or manufacture of the plastic parts and that I would have to pay for it myself; obviously a cover up with all the other people experiencing the same issues as me.
By this point I was pretty unhappy as I would have to again spend more money to fix my ThinkPad with its "Heroic Durability" & "Legendary Quality". So I continued to use it.
In April more cracks started for form, a few around the wireless switch, one on the left side of the LCD screen bezel and the right side of the LCD screen bezel came loose and popped out. I was able to push it back in, however it would not seat itself correctly and there was a small hairline gap between the screen and bezel. My secondary battery in the auxiliary bay became loose and had would rattle (up and down; z-axis). My computer started making electronic chirping noises and would get pretty hot. The noise would not happen when the CPU was being was being stressed, however it was most noticeable when I would start my computer, and when I did a system restore.
Every Diagnostics I ran on my computer (ThinkPad tool box, a monthly in-depth scan, stress testing every part with the tool box tools) said there were Zero issues with my computer. However I knew this was not the case.
Once again I called Lenovo service in Atlanta Georgia, and told them my issues. They agreed to send me a box (Ref1: 31rqk4k-2901ct0-xxxxxxx/ Tracking: 1Z 8W2 75E 84 03110953)) and I'd have 30 days to return my computer. My Employer told me that I would have to wipe out all the data on my hard drive as, the information I work with is sensitive, proprietary, and specific to my companies overall health. I soon found it very hard to give up my computer for any length of time as it was the end of a fiscal quarter. Work becomes very hectic (12+ hour days) & I found zero time to wipe out my hard drive.
So I wanted to wait until a more opportune time; however, in May/June, I was using my computer and experienced something I had never before experienced. My Think Pad just shut off without warning. So I turned my computer back on and it shut off again. I noticed it was really hot so I let it cool off for half and hour and started using it. While playing angry birds on Google Chrome, It shut off again. So I let it cool and turned it back on again. This time, while playing angry birds I took a reading of my CPU core temp (with the Lenovo tool box supplied diagnostics and recorded 4 temperature ratings:
1. at 87 degrees Celsius.
2. at 95 degrees C
3. at 100 degrees C.
4. at 104 degrees C!
Yet every system diagnostic I ran while above 87 degrees C said there were ZERO issues with my "durable" computer.
I called and got another box near the middle-end of June, wiped my data and sent it off in July.
Dealing with Service:
Dealing with service is what has put me over the edge and is why I want a full refund of my purchase price.
I talked to first guy (David? or Matt?) and he explained what was actually wrong with my computer and that it was not covered under warranty as I must have damaged it and It would cost me $952.00 to fix a Fan, a system board, and all the plastic. 952.00! Which I take stellar care of! He asked if I dropped it and I told him the truth, I dropped it once on June 30th; that it was a soft drop (Soft drop= low level drop onto a padded surface. IE my bed to the carpet) and occurred after I had already Received my second box and that my computer experienced no new issues. I told him that the drop had not damaged it, explained the story above (issues in February with slowness and heat, plastic issues in March/ April, chirping noised in April, requesting the first box in April). So I asked him if he were in my shoes would that be acceptable. He said he did not have the authority to reduce or negate charges but offered to escalate it to someone that could . . . so we did.
About a 3 days later the second guy called me (David? or Matt?). He explained to me the exact same thing the first guy did:
>that there were no issues with the plastic manufacture.
>Asked me again how many times I dropped it. And afterwards said he would have to go check the shock sensor in my computer to verify what I was telling him!
> He said Damage was not covered under the warranty and it would cost me 952 dollars to fix.
>He explained that he has no authorization to reduce the cost of the damage and after I explained, once again, everything I told the first service guy. He offered to escalate it.
--> DEJA-VU; way to waste my time at work.
The third service guy was Greg. He called me last week and explained to me Lenovo's practice of how the first guy will call (the one without authorization) and take no responsibility on Lenovo's behalf and lump all charges together and that's how they arrived at 952.00 (really?). He however has authorization to reduce the cost but wanted to know a few things:
>how many times have I dropped it?
-I told him the same think I told the other two people. He seemed very skeptical that I did not drop it.
So, I asked, "Why were there 10+ pages of thread on Lenovo Forums about cracked palm rests"? To which he answered by saying:
>did I let anything fall on it that could have damaged it? --NO!
He said he would reduce the cost from 952 dollars down to 150 dollars. I asked about why I still had to pay anything and to which he replied, that he was working with me, that the fan and board would be covered under warranty and he was being generous to split the cost of the plastic parts with me. I asked why I still had to pay anything. And Greg gave me an ultimatum: Either I pay 150 dollars or they'll return my computer to me completely unfixed. **bleep**!!!! I told him I'd have to think about it. I have not called back as If I do, I will be Irate. I'm not sure what I'm going to do next besides post my experience on the ThinkPad Forum and Lenovo Forum.
The bottom Line:
After thinking about it. I do not want to pay for Lenovo's crappy design. I do not want to have them replace the broken parts with the same parts only to have to go through this experience again Every 4 months for the next 3 years (my warranty is 3 years). I do want to be accused of damaging my computer (which really pisses me off. . . I fear that with my processor experiencing 100+ degrees C temperatures, it has permanently damaged the life of the CPU and surrounding parts.
I feel like all the marketing/advertising on Lenovo's website is lies and I feel dooped into buying a sub-par, non-durable, non-gold standard business class product, cheaply made Chinese product. As a consumer, I do not ever want to own a product in which I will keep having to incur costly fixes if I continue to own it. I don't ever want to have to talk to someone at Lenovo's Service dept as they angered me, by practically accusing me of damaging my computer, and giving me an ultimatum with no reasonable options. Is this how a company which was rated #1 in customer satisfaction should operate?
I WANT OUT OF THE LENOVO Business!
Wouldn't you?
Extremely Unsatisfied customer,

I think 30 days is a more than reasonable time window, but it seems you weren't meet this and therfore lost the opportunity. Would you consider your reasons for not being able to return your system within this time window a possible reason, for members who also cannot let their systems out of their hands, to think about purchasing an On-Site-Next-Business-Day warranty extension?

A little unhappy does not even cover .01% the way I feel toward Lenovo presently.
I am extremely displeased that you removed my feelings as they still hold true, and I believe you are removing them not because they're explatives but becasue they don't hold your company in the highest regard.
I don't understand why I would have to purchase a next day business warranty as this computer is marketed as being so Heroicalyl Durable, and has Legendary Quality. I've already spent 100 dollars on upgrade to a wireless N router & upgraded my intenet inwhich I pay an additonall 15 dollars a month (since february) which presently I'm under the belief was entirely an unnecessary action. Are you asking me to go spend even more money by purchasing a business warranty now? Can you please clarify?
While you may personally believe 30 days is enough time to satisfactorially wipe data off a system and return it to lenovo I do not disagree; However, since I had to go purchase an external hard drive to clear my system, I had to wait until that could be delivered. Additonally Since I must use a notebook everyday for the various meetings I attend, work I perform off-site and I would be unable to work to the effectiveness my work has come to expect. So my work had to create a requisiton order for a computer to be lent to me; have it approved within the budget, and then ordered, shipped and delivered to me. Added to that, the slow beauracry of a large cost sensitive company, tax season, and the end/ beginning of a fiscal quarter, it takes time. That is what takes so much time.
Regarding the Serial number/ tracking reference number.
Numerously, I've experienced doubts amongst the people in your service department with what I tell them and the service employees say they will check data to do their due dilligence and do not. I provided the serial number of my system and the the tracking number as proof that I requested a service box to be sent to me in the april timeframe and you may reference to the issues I was having at that point in time.
Could you please re-read what I wrote; your expletives were not removed by me or any other moderator, it was a part of your original post.
I have not asked you to spend more money, read my post, I asked; "Would you consider your reasons for not being able to return your system within this time window a possible reason, for members who also cannot let their systems out of their hands, to think about purchasing an On-Site-Next-Business-Day warranty extension?"
An On-site warranty is, imho, indispensible for someone who cannot, will not, allow their system out of their sight for whatever reason. Legendary Quality aside - Rolls Royce has a warranty department as does Ford, Dell, Sony, HP, Acer, Panasonic, et al. A notebook consists of electronical and mechanical components which can, unfortunately without warning and, unbeknown to the user or manufacturer, fail or present problems at any time without warning.
When such circumstances occur the customer is obliged to reasonably assist the manufacturer in the failure diagnosis, if either party should fail in this point they place themseves in a situation where they may have been negligent in fulfilling their obligations.
Again, this forum is moderated by volunteers of which I am one. Lenovo is not my company, I do not work for Lenovo.

One of the main reasons that I buy Lenovo is because they stand by their products with excellent warranty options, including the option to purchase accidental damage protection (ThinkPad Protection), on-site service, and Hard Disk Drive Retention. My personal experience with other companies, including Acer, Gateway, Dell, HP, and Compaq is that they do not stand behind their product and warranties for machines in the same way that Lenovo does. When I purchased my T420, I bought a 3yr ThinkPad Protection + on-site service and the 3yr battery warranty, because as a student I need my computer with me all the time.
No product is perfect and issues occur. Laptops are complicated and have many parts. Sometimes there are issues. You need to give the manufacturer an opportunity to fix the issues when they occur instead of allowing the issues to get worse. The warranty is not just some one-sided thing, you have obligations under it as well. I am surprised your work does not have a few spare laptops to loan out.
Wireless n vs g shouldn't have made a difference for flash-based websites. You could have easily tested that by plugging into the router with a cable and seeing if the issue went away. Extra internet speed could have made a difference, but you would have seen that in the first day. If there wasn't a difference, then a reasonable person would have canceled the upgrade since there was no benefit. Your personal decisions are not Lenovo's fault. Many things could have caused the speed issues, including a virus or worm, being low on drive space, excessive memory swapping (even with 8GB of memory), a non-TRIM capable SSD, background programs that you installed on the machine, or the server on the website you were visiting being overloaded etc.
I don't imagine anything anyone says to you is going to make you feel better about your experience. If I were you, I would pay the $150 to fix the machine, even if I did not want to keep the machine because it will be worth more fixed. After that, you can decide if you want to keep the machine or sell it and purchase a competing product. Since on-site service and hard-drive retention seem important to you, you should probably consider those options if you decide to keep the machine or purchase another product.
Sorry to hear that you have had troubles with your T410s system. Based on your feelings on the matter and the overall situation, I think we should take another look and have discussed with Greg.
I believe the case is still open with Greg - suggest you check back with him and let's see what can be done to get this resolved and restore your confidence in Lenovo.
Best regards,

Greg called me multiple times asking me if I wanted to proceed with the billable charges. I was at work as I have been for all these calls and I was still so disheartened with Lenovo for accusing me of damaging my computer that I didn't want to pick up.
I got a phone call from Mr Greg. July 18th at 8:47 am apologizing to me because it was just brought to his attention (that day) that there is a tip out there for the plastics on the t410s... all charges will not be billed to me "as it should have been all along".
I called back on July 21st as my concern about the damage done to my CPU was not addressed. Greg was out and his Out of Office refered me to Carolyn.
Carolyn looked up my reference number, said that my computer was still at Lenovo because it was awaiting a part but she would escalate the priority so that it would be a the top of the repair list and it would ship out quickly after that.
I voiced my concerns to Carolyn about my CPU being bad (it did expereince significat time above 87 degrees celcius and reached it critical shut off point at 105 degrees celcius multiple times); she said she would speak with an engineer and get back to me with:
-The temperature tolerance for which my computer operates
-Documentation that my CPU was not damaged.
She mentioned that the information would take some time and that she would get back to me during the night or the next day.
I thanked her and told he should could get back to me by email.
It is now more than 7 days later and I have not received any further contact from Carolyn, or anyone at else Lenovo.
My computer showed up in the mail on Monday 25th; which I just got around to opening today. In the repair sheet, it said replaced pastic part xyz and the reason code is:
user damage--thanks for the kick in the groin.
I've been so disatisfied with your product, marketing, service people and Company. I really do want out of the Lenovo business.
At this point, the only thing that you can do to satisfy this customer is to give me a full refund of my purchase price.
When someone asks me about Lenovo, you can look at it, as I do, from one of two view points:
Yes, I had a problem with Lenovo, but they rectified it for me.
Yes and I still has a problem with Lenovo, my computer is a constant reminder about it and tell them that
-Lenovo accused me of damaging my product, when I didn't.
-Three of Lenovo's service folks denied that there was a design/ manufacture issue only to "discover" after multiple attempts to point out a 10 page long thread on their own forum, that in-fact there actually is a problem..
--all the meanwhile, Lenovo was wasting my valuable time, my companies valuable time
--and that I will never, ever, buy a Lenovo product again because of all the issues and head-aches I had to deal with on their top of the line, military tested, gold-standard business class computer that crapped out on me in 8 months.
Note from Moderator: Employee name/e-mail/phone removed to protect their privacy per the forum rules.
I feel your pain:
Not to worry though:
For every one that complains there are at least 25 who do not. Dissatisfied customers by word of mouth will tell eight to sixteen others about their dissatisfaction. With the web some are now telling thousands. 91% of dissatisfied customers never purchase goods or services from the company again. A prompt effort to resolve a dissatisfied customer's issue will result in about 85% of them as repeat customers Depending upon the business, new customer sales may cost 4 to 100 times that of a sale to an existing customer.

Maybe the Lenovo VP of Marketing should read that.
You know, I've heard that before. I believe my experience has already persuaded 3 coworks from buying a lenovo.

Many great musicals have plots packed with drama and unlikely coincidences. By contrast, on the surface anyway, Meet Me In St Louis has almost no plot at all. However, there is far more to this holiday classic, starring Judy Garland in one of her best-loved roles, than meets the eye on first viewing. Producer Arthur Freed, director Vincente Minnelli and the team at MGM agonised over the ingredients just as the Smith household's cook, Katie (Marjorie Main) worries over her homemade ketchup bubbling on the stove in the film's opening scene.
Katie is afraid the ketchup may be too sweet. MGM's powers-that-be saw the same danger in this adaptation of writer Sally Benson's humorous Kensington magazine stories, recalling her girlhood in St Louis at the turn of the 20th century. Various scriptwriters were drafted in and encouraged to add exciting plot twists, such as an unlikely blackmail plot involving a Colonel, to make the mixture a little stronger.

TMZ reported Shannon weighed in at 365 pounds when she first started taping the series in January 2011, but she is now down to 263 pounds. "I haven't done any surgeries ... no diet pills ... never went to the gym, but, with the show, I've been more active," she told the celebrity news website. "They have me running around and going different places ... I guess it's paying off." "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" airs on TLC.

So next year I'm doing a 1 1/2 - 2 month trip in the States ending at Mania weekend. I did a month this year but sadly booked flights before ASW was announced (Not making that mistake this year).
Anyway, I'm traveling from Sydney, Australia and my main focus is getting to Reseda to a show or hopefully two. The reasons for this topic is if anyone here travels occasionally to Reseda for PWG, if they could suggest some hotels? I won't have a car while I am in the US so staying in Hollywood for example may be out of the question.
I've been looking at 'Howard Johnson Inn and Suites' just around the corner from the venue and its a decent rate but I'm just looking for some suggestions.
