Worldwide | Monday, 7 November 2011 | flickr photos
I was reared in a lower-class neighborhood near Atlanta, GA, USA. Having technology was often just a childish wish, education was severely limited, and travelling was an inconceivable luxury. Growing up, I did not know a single person who had gone to college or flown in an airplane. Yet, I was determined to see more.I excelled in out-of-state college, and by the age of 21 I was finally able to take my first flight -- I travelled solo across the country to San Francisco and borrowed a friend's point-and-shoot camera. This experience forever changed me.Since that first flight 6 years ago, I have flown in over 160 flights, to places including Indonesia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Malta. My passion for photography has steadily increased; I have relentlessly pursued photography and exploration of the world as much as I can: from driving for 16 hours per day throughout the Northeast during fall foliage weekends, to exploring night photography on cold Boston nights, and most recently, my solo safari camping trip to Kenya and Tanzania in which I travelled to photograph the annual Great Migration. The enclosed photos convey the story of African Maasai village children and their education.I aspire to do justice to the wonders of our world by trying to capture and convey the beauty that I witness -- in hopes of sharing with others the excitement and diversity that lie both within and beyond our local communities. I want to take shots so incredible that they make the viewer feel as if he/she is there, and that it encourages travel. This is what I love, and I yearn to learn more. Having no formal training, I would love to take my passion to the next level. I dream of making my mark on the world via photography.

Here's Six South Dakota Children Of Distinction
Children and agriculture, two of the most important things impacting the future of our part of the world, always make a great story. And I have one to share with you here.
South Dakota Farmers Union recognizes six rural youth for their commitment to agriculture and their communities with the Torchbearer distinction award.
The Torchbearer award recognizes youth who have completed all levels of the Famers Union youth achievement awards. It is the highest achievement award the organization presents to its youth membership.
The following high school seniors received the Torchbearer award:
Dayton Trujillo of De Smet, son of Kathy McAdaragh and Steven Trujillo; Keely Thompson of New Underwood, daughter of Dana and Roxona Thompson; Brooke Enright of Union Center, daughter of Travis and Jone Enright; Bailly Enright of Union Center, daughter of Travis and Jone Enright; Alyson Hauck of De Smet, daughter of Jason and Bobbi Hauck and Jackie Dethlefsen of Stickney, daughter of Cheryl and Clyde Dethlefsen.
"These youth have exhibited leadership and given back to their communities and the industry of agriculture through participation in Farmers Union leadership training, camps and volunteering their time for community development," explains Bonnie Geyer, South Dakota Farmers Union Education Director.
Many of the Torchbearers became involved in Farmers Union youth programs as elementary students attending Farmers Union day camps. This is true for Dayton Trujillo.
"I've learned a lot about myself and developed self confidence and communication skills through Farmers Union youth programs. The last few years I've been able to give back as a camp counselor working with young kids," Trujillo says.
Along with friends, Bailly Enright says she gained leadership and speaking skills through Farmers Union camps and education opportunities that paid off when she ran for student body president.
Each of the six Torchbearers received an all expense paid trip to the National Farmers Union Convention in Santa Fe, New Mexico, March 8-12.

A UFC fight keeps the audience on the edges of their seats because of all of the different martial arts systems used in one bout. A fight starts standing, but may quickly end up on the canvas or against the Octagon walls - you never know! No matter what direction the fight heads in or which fighting styles are used, the ways to win are the same.
Nothing else can bring an entire arena to its feet like the knock out. The Holy Grail of ways to end the bout, some fighters go their entire career without ever notching a win by knock out while others have reputations of being knock out artists. A knock out occurs when a fighter is knocked down and either unconscious, disoriented or unable to intelligently defend himself.
Sometimes the final blow is delivered after a barrage of strikes, and other times it's one solid strike that ends the fight. Occasionally a fighter on the edge of defeat musters all of his strength to produce a punch (or haymaker) that gives him the knock out victory. Whether from a punch, kick or slam, the knock out is an accomplishment that both fighters and fans are sure to remember.
A fighter gets their opponent to submit by using a choke hold or joint lock.
A submission can be done standing, but is most often seen on the ground. Although submissions are not as dramatic as a knockout, many fans prefer to see a fight end with a submission and feel that they require more skill and strategy. Once a fighter is locked in a submission hold, they can tap out or verbally submit to avoid injury or passing out.
With such fearless fighters in the UFC, some bouts will run the full duration of all rounds without either fighter backing down. In these cases, judges appointed by the state commission (not chosen by the UFC) decide on the victor. The judges score based on a 10-point must system in which the winner of each round must be given 10 points (less any fouls) and his opponent is given 9 points or less. At the end of the fight, all three judges add up their points for each fighter to come to a decision.
Sometimes the decision is evident to everyone watching, but in many cases, the two fighters seem to fight equally and the crowd stands in anticipation of the decision.

This article was originally published in 2012. It has been republished here upon Karl Lagerfeld's death at the age of 85.
Two days before the Chanel couture show last July, Karl Lagerfeld and I were talking in the Chanel studio on Rue Cambon. After four months of incessant rain in Paris, it suddenly was beautiful outside, and the windows were open. Amanda Harlech and Virginie Viard, two of Lagerfeld's intimate collaborators, were working on fittings. A photo shoot for W starring both of them—along with the rest of Lagerfeld's muses—had taken place a few days earlier, and at his suggestion, they had all agreed to be photographed dressed as cats. Lagerfeld has an 8-month-old kitten named Choupette, who increasingly plays a central role in his emotional life, and I started to wonder—not without reason—why Lagerfeld had wanted the women to resemble Choupette.
Jamie Bochert had just finished her fitting. Twenty-nine years old, long and austere, with a mien like Patti Smith's, Bochert is more musician than model, but Lagerfeld was so infatuated with her that he used her as his only model for the couture-collection press kit. "She's going to star in a film I plan to make on the life of Catherine Pozzi, the mistress of the poet Paul Valéry," Lagerfeld told me. And then he started to recite fragments of poetry. To hear him suddenly declaim "Mon coeur a quitté mon histoire" ("My heart has left my story") seemed to illuminate all the contradictions in which Lagerfeld finds himself embroiled: He is a man whose exterior protects a heart that some believe went off course many years ago. But did it truly? I'm not so sure. "It's lovely, right?" he said of the line, staring at me from behind his dark glasses.
In the interest of full disclosure: Though I don't work at Chanel, I have known Lagerfeld for more than two decades. In the early eighties, when I was in my 20s and a model, I met him during his tenure at Chloé. He was heavier, his hair was longer and already in a ponytail, his eyes were masked by dark glasses, and he held a fan that evoked the Versailles court. (Of course, the fan has since been replaced by the signature fingerless gloves—there's always something to hide with him—but we'll come back to that). When he first met me, he exclaimed that I resembled Françoise Dorléac, Catherine Deneuve's older sister, who died in 1967. The comment was at once flattering and peculiar. There was—and still is—nothing more repulsive to Lagerfeld than death and all it entails: funerals, weakness, illness, the past. Every one of the women close to him—the Chanelettes, if you will—whom I met with agreed on this point. Lagerfeld, though, has no difficulty whatsoever squaring his denial of death with an equally pronounced habit of invoking the past—in particular, female figures of bygone eras who are imbued with a beauty or spirit that he believes transcends their time.
Coco Chanel, along with Lagerfeld's mother—both of them adored and faux-mocked by the designer, omnipresent and utterly dismissed, formative and destructive—haunt the conversations inside the Chanel headquarters. If gloves are an intrinsic part of Lagerfeld's ensemble, it's because his mother told him a long time ago that he had ugly hands; he'll say so himself. Yet when, many years ago, Chanel model and muse Inès de la Fressange took Lagerfeld to a restaurant on the Champs-Elysées and told him that she thought his mother had had a definitive influence on him, "he genuinely seemed surprised," recalled de la Fressange. Harlech, a Chanel consultant since 1997 who is among the most intuitive of the Chanelettes, told me: "The mother is there immediately—all the time. One cannot compete with her. She was supremely intelligent, cultured, complicated, and demanding—an artist." The portrait that seemed to be emerging was that of a woman who essentially never let Lagerfeld be a child. "She constantly encouraged her son to be intellectually brave—and to sharpen his wit." Because of this, Harlech added, "on this terrain, he's like an Olympic swordsman."
Anna Mouglalis, an actress and model who has worked as a Chanel brand ambassador for more than a decade, has her own take on Lagerfeld's famed wit. "I met Karl for the first time in 2001 during a photo shoot for W. I thought I would find absolute superficiality, but instead I discovered a scholar who plays on superficiality. If it weren't for him, fashion would not have interested me. He's someone who's always working on himself—which, of course, he denies. He has a Calvinist side that has elevated work to a place of absolute value. When he holds you in his esteem, it means he's recognized a talent in you, and he demands that this talent surprise him—that it reach its full potential. He's a glorious Pygmalion."
Lagerfeld often gives books to Harlech and Mouglalis, though he bestowed upon Harlech something even more essential at a crucial time in her life. In 1997, when Lagerfeld still lived on two floors of the Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo on Rue de l'Université, John Galliano was hired by Dior. The maison, however, didn't offer Harlech—then Galliano's collaborator—what she considered to be suitable financial terms. "I was divorcing, and I didn't have enough money to maintain my house and give my children a good education," said Harlech, a fleeting hardness passing through her sapphire eyes. When Lagerfeld became aware of her dilemma, he made her an offer that Dior could not match—and that Harlech could not refuse. "Since then," she continued, "I've made the transition from performing monkey to learning speed, precision, and concentration. Sometimes Karl and I read the same book, but he finishes it more quickly than I do. Other times, he looks over my shoulder while I work on a watercolor. His intellectual and spiritual bravery often hide his poetry."
Lagerfeld's almost familial sense of loyalty is well known—lately, he's begun to refer to certain boys around him, including the model Brad Kroenig and Kroenig's 4-year-old son, Hudson, as his "adoptive sons." But the latest object of his affections is undoubtedly Choupette. Indeed, it was only after Lagerfeld showed me iPhone photos of the kitten next to him on a desk while he was sketching, and waiting for him on his bed, and at the edge of the tub at bath time, and wrapped in the antique linens Lagerfeld loves so much, and playing on an iPad with her paw that I realized that those who still think of Lagerfeld as Louis XIV have clearly understood nothing. When he sends text messages to Virginie Viard—his studio director and collaborator since 1987—he pretends the kitten is speaking for him. "He signs them, Your Choupette," Viard said, noting that along with the text comes a photo of the blue-eyed feline. Then she worried: "He might not like that I'm saying this." After all, the man she is describing seems to be a long way off from Lagerfeld's intimidating public persona.
Viard—whom the ladies of Lachaume, Lagerfeld's florist, telephone quietly for help deciphering the handwritten notes accompanying the bouquets that the couturier regularly sends out—is one of the only women around Lagerfeld to use the familiar French tu with him. She's also one of the only ones to invoke the death of Jacques de Bascher—the man some call the love of Lagerfeld's life—and his 1989 funeral, which Lagerfeld asked her to attend. "I saw then that I was among those who mattered to him," she told me. Viard is eminently discreet, the consummate professional—I've seen her take Lagerfeld's hand during fittings in a manner that is at once tender and authoritative, particularly when the clock is ticking and there are technical details to address. "So many people are afraid of him, and that's the worst thing," Harlech confided. "It shuts the door immediately. What he likes is that one be engaged in conversation—and more than anything, that one be informed."
Inès de la Fressange, who was already Lagerfeld's muse when he arrived at Chanel in 1983, remembers that "once or twice, he told me I'd done my hair like his mother, who lived on the Left Bank and wore Rykiel." Their first meeting took place while Lagerfeld was at Chloé and de la Fressange had been working for the biggest names in fashion—"forty-two shows in one season, among them Mugler, Montana, and Gaultier," she recalled. Though she was regularly sent to Chloé by her agent, something about it never worked; she never even got to meet Lagerfeld. One day, however, on an appointment at the house, she ran into him. "He said to me, 'Ah, you finally come to see me! I thought you worked only for Mugler!' " de la Fressange said. "He was pretending to be misinformed." She walked his runway, and they became inseparable. Lagerfeld so adored this tall, spirited French girl that he took her everywhere.
"One day Karl told me he was invited to fly on the Concorde to go hear Aida at the Egyptian pyramids," de la Fressange continued. "He couldn't decide—sleep there, or make the return trip? I told him that going for the opera, having dinner, and coming right back would be much more fun." And so, it was done. "On tour with him in the U.S., in a private jet," she said, "I noticed that I was the only model to do everything with him." De la Fressange spoke for Lagerfeld, socialized with him, did press for him, and charmed the public with personal appearances at big American stores. In Chicago, they got hungry in the middle of the night—before his famous protein diet, Lagerfeld permitted himself everything—and found a tiny café. Lagerfeld, dressed in black tie and holding the ever present fan, took out a $100 bill for a hot dog "and then fell asleep in the car like a big baby," de la Fressange said—before noting with a tinge of regret how Lagerfeld would hate reading that last line.
Though the two had a falling-out in 1989 and have only recently reconciled, de la Fressange clearly feels a connection with the designer that's both sincere and profound—so much so that she won't talk about it openly, to avoid embarrassing Lagerfeld. The source of their break, far from the usual tension over sharing the spotlight, was actually over sharing de la Fressange herself: She'd met Luigi d'Urso, a man who was her twin in both slenderness and spirit, and fallen in love. "Karl didn't impress him," de la Fressange says. "And Luigi made zero effort in front of him. He always kept his distance." The final straw came when the government of France asked de la Fressange, who was 32 at the time, to lend her likeness to the Marianne statue—the feminine symbol of the Republic that stands in all the town halls of that country. The media adored this story; Lagerfeld, much less so. "He didn't find it chic," de la Fressange said, "and asked that I refuse. Against his wishes, I accepted. And once he feels abandoned, he turns naughty—like a little boy."
With Lagerfeld, the seismic shift of falling out of love always seems directly proportionate to the amount of affection involved. During the legal aftermath of their rupture, de la Fressange was advised by the powerful lawyer Georges Kiejman; ultimately, she won a substantial settlement. Today, however, one can often see the 13-year-old Violette d'Urso, one of Inès and Luigi's two daughters, alongside Lagerfeld during fittings at Rue Cambon (Luigi died of a heart attack in 2006). In fact, upon learning that Lagerfeld was spending last Christmas by himself, Violette demanded of her mother: "How can we leave him alone!" De la Fressange still laughs about it. "I was forced to send this grotesque text message—'You're welcome at the house for Christmas…' " On Christmas Eve, Lagerfeld sent over a shower of gifts but didn't show up. "Violette worries about him," said her mother. "She truly loves him."
Laetitia Crahay was 24 when she met Lagerfeld in 2000 after working as the artistic director for Olivier Theyskens's sensational debut. "I arrived at Chanel by skateboard," she told me. "And what ended up taking place wasn't really an interview but rather a quiz." Though Crahay seemed to respond correctly to all the questions, "we almost fought about a bracelet I was wearing that Karl insisted was from the 1950s," she said, "while I maintained that it was from the forties." She was hired on the spot and hit the ground running—and fighting. "One day, I was tempted to put my bag in the mouth of a taxi driver who was saying things that weren't true about Karl," Crahay said. Soon she became responsible for Chanel's jewelry and accessories, and since 2006 she has also been artistic director of Maison Michel, the hatmakers acquired by Chanel in 1996. It's clear to her that the loyalty she feels toward her boss is returned. "Karl has genuine intentions for the people he loves," she said. "He keeps his promises."
When she arrived on the set of the shoot with Lagerfeld and the Chanelettes, the actress, screenwriter, and director Maïwenn Le Besco, who recently joined Chanel as the new face of the Prestige eyewear campaign, seemed to be in a hurry. Moments later there was a flurry of activity as Choupette appeared in the arms of the professional cat sitter Lagerfeld keeps on his staff. Everyone vied for a moment with Choupette, as Le Besco waited patiently, looking at her watch. Having known Lagerfeld for far less time than the other women had, she seemed to stay on the sidelines. "Karl is someone who's more attentive than affectionate," she said from behind her Catwoman mask. "For affection, you need the passing of time." Someone casually mentioned that with this shoot she was becoming part of the family. "Not part of a family," she snapped, like a cat that's been rubbed the wrong way. "Part of a house."
Whether he's thinking of his friends as family or he's strictly concerned with the functions of the maison, though, Lagerfeld has always been more than generous to those in his favor. He's gifted 18th-century furniture to de la Fressange, and he often surprises friends and colleagues like Viard and Harlech with jewelry. The legendary Marie-Louise de Clermont-Tonnerre, a veteran who has been at the company for 41 years and has headed its international public relations since 1971—two months after the death of Mademoiselle Chanel—showed me a series of drawings by Lagerfeld when I visited her. "When I had the apartment insured," she told me, "the appraisers valued some of his drawings more highly than some of my pieces by Cocteau."
But that generosity extends beyond the mere bestowing of presents and bijoux. Four years ago, Lagerfeld handed me a check for 15,000 euros intended for Birgitte de Ganay, a mutual friend whom he no longer saw but who was facing an extreme psychological and financial crisis. No doubt Lagerfeld remembered the fierce allure of this stunning Danish beauty, though when he wrote that check, de Ganay was far from the sparkling worldly figure he'd known. We'd just finished a day of shooting for Le Figaro, where I work, and were looking at the pictures. In a tone that I now understand was meant to eschew sensitivity, Lagerfeld summoned me unexpectedly into a hallway and brusquely stuffed the check into the pocket of my jacket. There was nothing patronizing about it—just an immense terror of being caught, in flagrante delicto, having a heart. (De Ganay committed suicide two years later.)
De Clermont-Tonnerre—who called Lagerfeld "Monsieur" when we started our conversation and later switched to "Karl"—has experienced firsthand this side of him. "At a difficult moment in my life, he forced me to hold up my head, to get dressed, to take care of myself," she said. But like all the others, de Clermont-Tonnerre feels compelled to shine, to please, under Lagerfeld's influence. "One day I wore pants and flat shoes," she told me. "It was the first and last time. Karl looked at me with total disapproval and said, 'But Marie-Louise, when one has your legs…' I've never done it again."
"He isn't lacking in contradictions," Mouglalis admitted to me. The extreme fear Lagerfeld feels about being unloved explains both the profound attachment he shows for his Chanelettes and the brutal fall from grace that certain people have experienced as soon as the threat of hurt or abandon arises. But one could argue that behind his facade is an immense need to love and to be loved, to give and to receive. In the end it occurred to me that, against all expectations and in defiance of his notoriously thick skin, Lagerfeld might just be a softie.
As I considered the thought, I was reminded of the words that had brought Viard to tears in the middle of our interview in the Chanel atelier as two young assistants sat nearby, neither of them daring to speak. Viard had suddenly recalled how 10 years ago, as her grandmother, to whom she was very close, neared death, Lagerfeld—seeing her sadness—approached her. "You know," he said, "one day you won't have me anymore, either."
And what will she do then? Viard, along with the rest of Lagerfeld's Chanelettes—having learned from the master—knows that the best thing is to not even think about it.

A lesbian couple who have been dating for two years were booted out of an Uber taxi in New York on Saturday for kissing.
Alex Iovine (26) and Emma Pichl (24) left a friend's birthday celebration at a bar in Brooklyn at about 5pm and hailed an Uber to take them to another party in Manhattan.
Ms Pichl told The Post: "We were sitting on opposite sides of the seat. At one point we leaned over and peck-kissed, very fast."
Shortly afterwards the taxi driver, Ahmad El Boutari, pulled over and said: "I don't want to argue with you, just get out of my car. You can't do that in the car."
"Kissing is not not illegal," one of the woman replied. "Why are we not allowed to kiss in an Uber?"
"It's disrespectful," the driver replied.
The couple filmed the altercation on a mobile phone and posted it on YouTube.
Uber has apologised to the women and withdrawn Mr Boutari's licence saying it doesn't tolerate discrimination.
A spokesman for the taxi regulator in New York said: "There is a list of circumstances that are grounds for refusing service to a passenger and what happened is definitely not one of them.
"It's 2018 in New York City and this isn't the way we live any more."

Rosemary herself took several classes before finding an interest in geography. Understanding the relationship between humans and the environment piqued her interest in the subject. But the tangible, hands-on research helped solidify her passion.
As an undergraduate student, her most memorable experience occurred on a research road-trip, which took her across the West from the west coast of Oregon to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and back through eastern Oregon. "The goal of the trip was to conduct field research in Yellowstone National Park and a few other locations, but the entire time as we traveled the professor showed me how the landscape told the story of how the West was formed…This experience changed the course of my life."
"Students gain a lot through being involved in research," says Rosemary Sherriff, Professor of Geography. Each semester, in addition to working with students in class and with teaching assistants and interns, she works personally with a small group of research assistants to conduct research. "One of the most rewarding parts of my job is to work with students individually. HSU undergraduate students are some of the most motivated and hardworking students I've worked with."
"They start by learning how to count tree rings and summarize information into tables and graphics." While the task may be simple, counting tree rings can reveal much more than just the age of a tree. They can indicate past climate conditions, fire history, and other natural and human effects on the ecology of an area. Mapping the location of historical changes documented in tree rings provides the geographic context of how landscapes have changed, and helps inform what to expect into the future in order to resolve how we deal with intensifying problems involving land, water and other natural resources.
During their lab and field research, Rosemary also helps students build advanced technical skills. They apply for research permits, learn how to operate technical equipment, methodically collect data, and interpret their findings. An independent work structure also allows students to expand on their own understanding of the research while exercising their unique abilities.
"Geography is interdisciplinary," Rosemary says. "I want students to walk away from my classes and research experiences with an appreciation for the physical environment, a base set of skills, and a sense of their ability to make an impact for the future of our planet. The focus on sustainability, environmental responsibility, social responsibility, and the inter-connection of social and ecological systems is a core thread woven throughout our interdisciplinary curriculum across colleges. It's certainly what attracted me here to teach at HSU."
Active participation in research is an opportunity Rosemary will continue to provide for her students. But it's also a valuable component of her career and love for geography. "It's not something I'm going to give up" she says. "It makes me a better teacher, keeps me up to date, and helps me stay motivated to be a conscientious citizen."

The IDE is written for starters. In other words people who do not know what they are doing (no knowledge of electronics or software). From a software development point of view the Arduino IDE has been crippled on purpose to avoid overwhelming the starters. Therefore experienced developers quickly get frustrated by the IDE. In the same way experienced electronics think the shields are crap (where I love them).Don't get me wrong: I think Arduino made the correct choice.
Moreover Arduino does help others to build tools so there are some growth paths.My advice to you: Look at the other Development ToolsIf you are used to eclipse look at the open source eclipse plugin eclipse.baeyens.it If you are used to the Microsoft tools take a look at the closed source visualmicro visualmicro.comIf you just want some extra features look at http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,118440.0.htmlIf you like makefiles or want to look at other options visit http://playground.arduino.cc//Main/DevelopmentTools or the forum board http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/board,23.0.htm
I already looked up libraries for arduino. These are very simplistic consisting of only ONE header file and ONE source file (and some example files and a keyword file). But there is nothing relating to a full blown library that has many dependent header files.
You don't need to cripple the IDE. Just have defaults that allow it to work out of the box and have advance settings for those who want to go there. That way you don't have to irk either group.
However, the group you choose to post your rant in is for people to advertise commercial products and/or consulting gigs. I would think 'Project Guidance', 'Programming Questions', or 'Suggestions for the Arduino Project' would be more appropriate for this type of question.
As far as I can see it would seem that for anyone who know enough to be aware of the limitations of the IDE, it would be trivial to find a replacement for it in less than a minute on the web so where is the issue?
It is not all that easy to setup a working environment (build upload hardware). If it were easy Arduino would not be the success it is. The Arduino core team spend time and energy to make it simple and easy. I think they made the right decision.The fact that it is trivial to find a replacement is only true because people like me have spend their own time, energy and money in making these alternatives.

The Actor at Work
Allyn and Bacon, 1997 - Performing Arts - 255 pages
Focusing on the underlying principles of the acting process, this volume continues to present an experiential sequence of exercises designed to help students develop a thorough understanding of the physical, vocal, analytical and ethical aspects of the actor's art. This accessible revision begins by concentrating on the preparation of body and voice in Part I. Part II then examines the concept of action, and Part III concludes by focusing on development of character in the rehearsal process.

On the market: Complete with cottage
The lush lawn of the circa 1938 Colonial at 45 Swifts Lane in Darien sweeps down to the very edge of Gorham's Pond, surrounded by secluded property.
The short driveway sits right off the road, but there's next-to-no traffic here. A separate small shed has the character of the 1938 building, which also has a variety of key updates owning to 1991 renovations and a 1995 addition.
There is also a large separate cottage on the south side of the property, with a main room, bedroom and bath.
Off the driveway, the slate path leads into a short vestibule cleverly designed with the wall facing the water a completed floor-to-ceiling window.
Wood floors and wide-open are the entryway's features. Immediately to the left is a small den or office with built-in bookshelves and bay windows with the eastern view across to the water.
Straight ahead, there's a sunken living room with double sets of sliding glass doors going out to an equally large glassed-in porch, with a flagstone floor. Beyond this spot is a stone patio, which can be accessed from any of the four sets of sliding doors, surrounded by a low stone wall. The living room also has a fireplace, accentuated by sconces.
More InformationAbout this house
ADDRESS: 45 Swifts Lane, Darien
STYLE: Colonial
FEATURES: Separate one-bedroom cottage, terrace, two-car attached garage, security system, generator, shed, patio
SCHOOLS: Hindley Elementary, Middlesex Middle, Darien High
Through to the back is a bright bedroom with southern exposure. Along with its own bay windows, it also has sliding doors that lead to a terrace on the south side. This is an ideal master suite owing to the king-sized bathroom with spa tub. It's odd to find the laundry room off the back of this, but there is a separate entrance to the large back room leading out to the terrace and property. It's also got a walk-in closet with two separate entrances, which join the bathroom hall and bedroom.
To the right of the main entrance is a dining room, which features another water view. The room also has two recessed built-in shelves and cabinets on either side of the fireplace.
The kitchen is bright and exploding with cabinets. The island has a built-in range, and there's a wine cooler, along with other amenities.
Toward the back is a cozy family space with another fireplace and wood paneling. A stairway at the back of the room leads to a studio suite above the garage, which has the best of views.
While there's another bedroom suite off the main entrance, up that staircase are two more. Each room enjoys distinct style and quaint touches, such as window seats and angular dimensions. A Jack and Jill bathroom joins the two.
For more information or to make an appointment to see the house, contact Nancy Dauk of Halstead Property at 203-858-1146 or email@example.com.

Steak au poivre is a classic preparation for sauteed steak. Here Julia Child and Jacques Pépin update the steak by using a mixture of black, green, white and Jamaican peppercorns, which is really allspice. A saute of mushrooms and a full-bodied red wine are a fine match.–Julia Child and Jacques Pépin
LC Jacques and Julia Note
Jacques and Julia. Now that was a duo, eh? Sorta like the superheros of the French kitchen. They should have had capes.
Steak au Poivre
- Quick Glance
- Makes two 6 to 7 ounce steaks
- For the steak
- One 1-pound thick-cut, well-marbled strip steak
- 2 tablespoons mixed whole peppercorns, including black, white, green, Szechuan and Jamaican (whole allspice)
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- For the pan sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 2 tablespoons Cognac (or bourbon or red wine)
- 1/2 cup beef stock or dark chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
- For the garnish
- Chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Watercress
- Sear the steak
- 1. Trim the steak of any excess fat. Cut the meat into 2 pieces and crush the peppercorns using the bottom of a heavy skillet.
- 2. Sprinkle salt to taste on the top and bottom of the steaks, then press each side of each steak into the cracked peppercorns, encrusting the steaks lightly or heavily, as you prefer.
- 3. Heat the oil and the butter in a heavy saute or frying pan over high heat. When the pan is quite hot, add the peppered steaks. Fry for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the undersides are well seared. Turn the meat and cook the second side for about a minute. Press with a finger to test for the slight springiness that indicates rare. Cook to the desired doneness and transfer to a warm platter.
- Make the pan sauce
- 4. Return the pan with the drippings to medium heat. Add the shallots and saute briefly, stirring with a spoon to scrape the bottom of the skillet. Lean away from the stove (averting your face) and carefully pour the Cognac into the pan. Tilt the edge of the pan slightly over the burner flame, to ignite the alcohol or light it with a match. The Cognac will flame for a few seconds as the alcohol burns off. When the flames die down, cook for a few moments more and then add the stock. Bring the liquid back to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Finally, add the soft butter, tilting the pan until the butter melts and is incorporated with the pan juices.
- 5. Pour the poivre sauce over the steaks. Sprinkle liberally with chopped parsley and garnish each plate with sprigs of parsley or watercress.

After topping Amazon best-seller lists for New Releases, Retirement Planning, and Personal Finance, The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget, written by the senior editors at InternationalLiving.com, is now available in Audible audiobook format from Amazon.
The new audiobook format makes it easy to learn the secrets of living a happier, healthier, more affordable life overseas while relaxing, commuting, exercising, or taking breaks at work.
"More people than ever are realizing that living abroad can significantly improve your retirement and personal finances," said Jennifer Stevens, Executive Editor of International Living Magazine at InternationalLiving.com. "Living and retiring in a tropical paradise used to seem like an exotic idea out of most people's reach. But The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget shows that it's not only possible, but can actually be a sound financial strategy for lots of folks."
The book – which has received recent coverage and praise in USA Today, Forbes, The Guardian, US News & World Report, Fox Business News, PBS's Next Avenue, and beyond – is an easy, informative, eye-opening read.
Authors Suzan Haskins and Dan Prescher have put many of the overseas financial strategies they share in their book to work in their own lives since they left Omaha, Nebraska, in 2001, to live abroad.
Thirteen years later, they've lived in seven different locations in four Latin American countries and explored dozens more around the world. They've distilled those years of experience into this new, definitive guide to choosing, moving to, and living in good-value locales around the world, from Latin America to Southeast Asia to Europe.
In The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget, published by Wiley, Haskins and Prescher provide a step-by-step roadmap to finding the world's best communities for English-speaking retirees seeking a happier, healthier, more affordable life in some of the world's most beautiful and accommodating destinations…often on as little as $25,000 a year or less.
The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget explains how the tough issues of health care, housing costs, property taxes and insurance, and daily living costs can be easily managed in the right overseas locations. Haskins and Prescher share in clear detail how retirees can spend just a fraction of what their day-to-day life costs today yet sacrifice nothing when it comes to quality, comfort, and safety.
But The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget isn't just for retirees. Haskins and Prescher offer advice about moving overseas with children, starting a business, finding work, and simply living a more meaningful and enjoyable life overseas.
Even for those who want to spend just a few months each year in an exotic location, the authors show that in many cases, "halfway is the right way." In some of the locations they have identified, total cost of living can be less than winter utility bills alone back home.
Topics covered in The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget include:
- How to find the best (and best-value) housing opportunities…
- Whether to rent or buy…
- What kind of health insurance makes sense (and the best locales with low-cost but top-quality public health systems)…
- The places where a car isn't needed…
- How to manage finances abroad…
- Overcoming language barriers…
- And, of course, detailed information about the most affordable places in the world to retire…
In the right destination, it's more than possible to live in a charming villa with a gorgeous ocean view, buy a week's supply of fresh produce from the local farmer's market for $5 or $10, hire a housekeeper or gardener, and live a high-quality life on a budget of $2,000 a month or less. The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget provides a practical and inspirational blueprint to making it happen.
The authors share budgets, recommendations, tips, advice, and hard-won strategies for success that can be applied by anyone to secure a happier, more affordable, more rewarding life in some of the most beautiful and relaxing locations around the world.
The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget is the comprehensive, all-in-one guide that retirees have been waiting for to help them successfully plan and accomplish their move to the overseas paradise of their choice.
The book, now available in Audible audio version, can be found here.

KevinW needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 70 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
cpucycle, LLC
I'm an independent software product developer with about 15+ years experience creating innovative products on a contract basis. I've also launched my own products as well.
I've been using my name as an individual to do business to date, but want to create and grow a brand to convey an entity larger than just myself. My area of specialty is desktop software to collect, analyze and store data from various hardware devices, and also remotely control those devices.
I'm targeting corporate customers who require a high level of technical excellence, reliability, and creativity in creating new software designs.
I'd like a look which is much better than my own effort (attached). Perhaps something similar but if someone can knock my socks off with a completely different idea then that's great too (I'm not married to my design). Something with a tech theme (maybe incorporate a computer CPU chip, a square wave from an oscilloscope, or something to tie-in with the name cpucycle). Maybe one or two main colors (shading or blending is fine). I'd like the final design in a vector format that I can open and scale in Photoshop. Feel free to ask questions.

Genomic constitution
StP, the St genome being derived from Pseudoroegneria and the P genome from Agropyron.
Distinguishing features
Perennial plants with solitary spikelets. Glumes and lemmas rather tough, keeled distally and mucronate.
Plants perennial, loosely clumped or stoloniferous. Culms 50-100 cm tall.
Leaf blades 1.5-4 mm wide.
Inflorescence spikelike, 9-20 cm long with 9-21 nodes; rachis tough, lower internode 14-21 mm long; middle internodes 8-12 mm long; disarticulation below the florets.
Spikelets solitary, tangential to the rachis, 11-15 mm long, with 5-7 florets.
Glumes 6-8.5 mm long, almost as long as the adjacent lemmas, lanceolate, glabrous, mucronate.
Lemmas glabrous externallly, sometimes densely hairy on the inner surface, mucronate, not awned. Paleas equaling the lemmas, tapering to the narrow tip, keels somewhat coarsely toothed, teeth not widely spaced. Lodicules slightly lobed. Anthers 3-7 mm long.
Only two species are known in the genus, Douglasdeweya deweyi and Douglasdeweya wangii.
Western Iran and the Caucasus
Alternative interpretations
The genus was initially circumscribed on the basis of its genomic constitution and distinction from the genera represented by its ancestral genomes. No wild specimens have been identified as yet. Its members are currently included in one of Elymus, Pseudoroegneria, or Elytrigia.
Type species
Douglasdeweya deweyi (K.B. Jensen, S.L. Hatch & Wipff) C.Yen, J.L. Yang, & B.R. Baum
Known problems
There is little information on the distribution of the two species in this genus, it being known only from specimens grown from seed.

Woodfuel Implementation Plan 2011 - 2014
The Woodfuel Implementation Plan outlines how the Forestry Commission will:
- increase wood supply by bringing more privately owned woodlands into active management
- encourage the use of woodfuel in high quality, efficient wood heat systems
- help rural based businesses increase their capacity to develop a robust woodfuel industry
- provide grants aimed at supporting the development of access tracks and roads to help foresters bring thinnings to the market
Expert advice on the plan and woodfuel will be available on the stand from Forestry Commission England and the Biomass Energy Centre.
Woodfuel can be burned to generate heat or electricity and is an important part of the UK's renewable energy supply.
Fuel can be produced from thinnings taken from woodlands and forests, wood recovered from the waste stream and from crops like short rotation coppice.
It is a sustainable, low carbon, source of energy that is produced from managed woods, where felled trees are replanted.
Woodfuel works best on a sub-national scale – using locally grown fuel in efficient, modern boilers as a clean way to provide heat for business and community buildings, saving money and CO2.
Forestry Commission England has been involved with the developing woodfuel supply chain for a number of years. The implementation plan describes what actions will be taken to further support and consolidate the sector over the period 2011 - 2014.
Are you the owner of a woodland?
Forestry Commission woodland officers can provide you with information on possible grant funding available, regulations and opportunities for management on your property?
Do you want to install a woodfuel stove or boiler?
Woodfuel is an environmentally and economically sound source of renewable heat. A list of suppliers and installers and information on any grant assistance is available.
Find out more about using woodfuel boilers.
Are you looking for a woodfuel supplier?
The biomass energy centre website shows an interactive map of wood fuel suppliers.
View the Biomass Energy Centre woodfuel suppliers interactive map.
Do you currently supply woodfuel?
The Forestry Commission is keen to work with suppliers of wood fuel to support this sector as it responds to meet the growing demand for logs, chips and pellets. The Confor Woodfuel Suppliers Group provides information on support available including market information, funding and networking opportunities.

Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress, ripped Gov. Tim Pawlenty Friday for dumping on a proposed mosque near Ground Zero in New York City.
"I know he wants to be president really bad, and I know he's trying to appeal to the most extreme elements of his party to do that, but I hope he doesn't want to be president so bad that he's willing to dishonor the First Amendment and our heritage of religious tolerance," Ellison told the Star Tribune.
In an interview with Real Clear Politics, Pawlenty suggested that it's unpatriotic for a mosque to be built near Ground Zero.
"I'm strongly opposed to the idea of putting a mosque anywhere near Ground Zero — I think it's inappropriate," Pawlenty said. "I believe that 3,000 of our fellow innocent citizens were killed in that area, and some ways from a patriotic standpoint, it's hallowed ground, it's sacred ground, and we should respect that. We shouldn't have images or activities that degrade or disrespect that in any way."
Ellison said that Pawlenty displayed "a profound lack of understanding" about religious tolerance, and he should apologize for his remarks.
"It's very unseemly that a Midwestern politician would try to divide New Yorkers and Americans on the basis of religion," the Minnesota Democrat said.
The mosque, which would be built two blocks from the site of the World Trade Center attacks, has drawn the ire of conservative Republicans, such as Sarah Palin, who tweeted: "Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing."
But New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Republican often discussed as a possible independent presidential candidate, defended the mosque as a display of tolerance.
Pawlenty is laying the groundwork for a possible presidential run in 2012, and his remarks on the mosque are the latest instance where the governor has weighed in on a national controversy, such as the Arizona immigration law.

On Campus: FBS receiving coffers still bursting with talent
Philadelphia, PA – Despite a slew of talented wide receivers making the move to the NFL this year, there remains an impressive list of talented pass catchers still in the FBS ranks.
MARQISE LEE (USC): He may not have the prototypical size the NFL clamors for today, there isn't a wideout in the country who makes more plays than the 6- foot, 195-pound Lee. A Consensus All-American and Biletnikoff Award winner in 2012, Lee ranked second in the nation in receiving yards (1,721) while hauling in 118 balls and scoring 14 touchdowns. He has amassed 4,144 all-purpose yards in just two seasons at USC, with 27 touchdowns. Matt Barkley is no longer under center for the Trojans, but that doesn't mean Lee's numbers will dip as a result. If Lane Kiffin truly is on thin ice, getting the ball in the hands of Lee as much as possible can only help his cause.
JORDAN MATTHEWS (Vanderbilt): A unanimous First-Team All-SEC selection in 2012, this Commodore rewrote the school record books as a junior, finishing the year with 94 receptions for 1,323 yards and eight touchdowns, adding a ninth score on the ground. An argument could be made that Matthews is the most NFL- ready wideout on this list, with great size (6-3, 205), speed and field presence to go along with his penchant for coming up big when the spotlight is the brightest. Matthews was certainly a big reason that Vanderbilt won nine games a year ago (tying the school record), closing out the season with seven straight wins, including topping North Carolina State in the Music City Bowl. James Franklin has changed the way people view Vanderbilt football in two short years and there is no doubt Matthews has been key to that resurgence.
ALLEN ROBINSON (Penn State): The situation at Penn State painted a bleak picture entering Bill O'Brien's first season at the helm in Happy Valley. However, through the chaos emerged a true talent on the outside in the 6-3, 205-pound Robinson. As a sophomore last year, Robinson led the Big Ten in receptions (77), receiving yards (1,013) and touchdown catches (11). The 77 receptions is a single-season record for the school. He is a threat anywhere on the field, especially in the red zone, where his field awareness and body control make him one of the nation's toughest defensive assignments. There may be a new quarterback throwing him the ball this year, but that gunslinger would be best served to look Robinson's way often.
AMARI COOPER (Alabama): The two-time defending national champion Crimson Tide are best known for their stellar ground game and dominant defense, but sleeping on Alabama's aerial attack would be foolish, especially this season. As a true freshman a year ago, the 6-1, 190-pound Cooper burst on the scene as a real difference maker on the outside. He got off to a slow start in 2012, but Nick Saban realized the weapon he had after the first month of the season and called Cooper's number a lot more from that point forward. The result was Cooper leading the team in receptions (59), receiving yards (1,000) and touchdown catches (11). Cooper capped off a strong season by decimating Notre Dame's defense in the BCS Championship Game, hauling in six balls for 105 yards and two TDs. It is scary to think that Cooper has only scratched the surface of his potential. A third straight national crown for Alabama is certainly within reach, especially with Cooper continuing to make plays downfield.
SAMMY WATKINS (Clemson): As a freshman in 2011, there may not have been a better playmaker on the outside than the 6-1, 205-pound Watkins, who earned All-America honors (all-purpose) while being tabbed the National Freshman of the Year. He was just the third redshirt freshman in NCAA history to earn AP First-Team All-America honors, joining Herschel Walker (1980) and Adrian Peterson (2004). He finished 2011 with 82 receptions for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns. Last year, however, Watkins played second-fiddle to DeAndre Hopkins, who turned a stellar season into an NFL first-round draft selection. Watkins played in only 10 games (suspension, injuries), finishing with modest numbers (57 receptions, 708 yards, three TDs). With Hopkins' departure and quarterback Tajh Boyd's continued success under center, expect Watkins to return to form and put up a monster season in Death Valley in 2013.
JOSH STEWART (Oklahoma State): It clearly doesn't matter who is under center in Stillwater, as Mike Gundy continues to find ultra-productive receivers to destroy opposing secondaries. First it was Dez Bryant, then Justin Blackmon. The new guy on the block is Stewart. The 5-10, 185-pounder really blossomed as a sophomore a year ago, leading the Cowboys in receptions (101), receiving yards (1,210) and touchdown catches (seven), while posting five 100-yard receiving games. Stewart always seems to get open and has the kind of athleticism to turn routine patterns into game-changing plays. OSU averaged over 330 yards passing last season and with a continued emphasis on the pass, look for Stewart's numbers to once again jump off the page.
AUSTIN HILL (Arizona): Rich Rodriguez's offensive scheme always seems to favor playmakers, so it isn't any wonder why, despite having the nation's leading rusher, Arizona still put up huge numbers through the air. A big reason for that was the emergence of the 6-3, 210-pound Hill, who caught 81 balls for 1,364 yards and 11 touchdowns. A Biletnikoff Award semifinalist and a Second- Team All-Pac-12 selection a year ago, Hill will have to get acclimated to a new quarterback in 2013, but it shouldn't take long for rapport to be built. Hill's straight-line speed and productivity after the catch should once again produce big numbers, especially with Rodriguez pulling the offensive strings in Tucson.
BRANDON COLEMAN (Rutgers): There may not be a more physically imposing receiver in the college ranks than the 6-6, 220-pound Coleman. He finished second on the team in receptions in 2012 with a modest 43 catches, but led in receiving yards (718) and touchdown grabs (10). NFL teams have to be salivating over the all-around talent Coleman brings to the table. With unmatched size, above-average speed and a knack for adjusting to the ball in the air, this Scarlet Knight could hear his name called very early in the 2014 NFL Draft.
CODY HOFFMAN (BYU): While not receiving the national attention of some of the other receivers on this list, the 6-4, 215-pound Hoffman's production was right up there with the best of them in 2012. Hoffman could have made the jump to the NFL this season, but instead returns to Provo for one more go-around. Last year, Hoffman earned All-America accolades by hauling in 100 balls for 1,248 yards and 11 touchdowns. Those numbers are even more impressive considering BYU signal-callers combined to complete just 59.4 percent of their throws. The Cougars offense will once again feature a heavy dose of Hoffman downfield and that should help the senior close out his collegiate career with another eye- popping stat line.
MIKE EVANS (Texas A&M): Although it seemed at times that Johnny Manziel was a one-man-show in College Station in 2012, the Heisman Trophy winner had plenty of help. The receiving duo of Ryan Swope and the 6-5 Evans combined for over 2,000 yards. While Swope found the end zone more, it was Evans who led the team in both receptions (82) and receiving yards (1,105), despite being just a freshman. With Swope having moved on to the NFL, Evans will command more passes. A sophomore slump is highly unlikely with "Johnny Football" pulling the trigger.
HONORABLE MENTION: Josh Huff (Oregon), Malcolm Mitchell (Georgia), Devin Street (Pittsburgh), T.J. Jones (Notre Dame) and Stefon Diggs (Maryland).

Worried Over Fallout, J&K CM Prays For Gaza Peace
Worried Over Fallout, J&K CM Prays For Gaza Peace
22 November 2012
The Hindustan Times
Worried over the possible fallout of the Gaza violence in Jammu and Kashmir, chief minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday hoped for a truce at the earliest. Reacting to reports that a ceasefire was imminent in Gaza, Abdullah posted on twitter: 'Let's hope the ceasefire does come into effect in Gaza. Saner heads need to prevail and give peace another chance. 'I can now assume it's no longer a question of 'if' but one of 'when',' he said in another comment. Abdullah's worry is that Israel's offensive against the Hamas should not have adverse fallout in Kashmir. He fears that some forces were seeking to exploit the situation to disturb the peace in the valley. 'Some people in Srinagar are desperate to use the Palestinian suffering to make people in the valley suffer.' The Palestine issue has always evoked strong reactions in the Kashmir Valley. 'On an emotional level, people in Kashmir cannot be expected to remain unconcerned about developments in the Muslim countries,' said a leader of Abdullah's National Conference party. Images of bodies of children and the elderly killed in Israeli bombing in Gaza have been uploaded by many Kashmiris on Facebook.

The Water Vapor map shows areas of moist and dry air at mid-levels of the atmosphere (about 12,000 feet). Water vapor or water vapour, also aqueous vapor, is the gas phase of water. Water vapor is one state of the water cycle within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Under normal atmospheric conditions, water vapor is continuously generated by evaporation and removed by condensation.
Whenever a water molecule leaves a surface, it is said to have evaporated. Each individual water molecule which transitions between a more associated (liquid) and a less associated (vapor/gas) state does so through the absorption or release of kinetic energy. The aggregate measurement of this kinetic energy transfer is defined as thermal energy and occurs only when there is differential in the temperature of the water molecules. Liquid water that becomes water vapor takes a parcel of heat with it, in a process called evaporative cooling. The amount of water vapor in the air determines how fast each molecule will return back to the surface. When a net evaporation occurs, the body of water will undergo a net cooling directly related to the loss of water.
Evaporative cooling is restricted by atmospheric conditions.

is the amount of water vapor in the air. The vapor content of air is measured with devices known as hygrometers. The measurements are usually expressed as specific
or percent relative
. The temperatures of the atmosphere and the water surface determine the equilibrium vapor pressure; 100% relative
occurs when the partial pressure of water vapor is equal to the equilibrium vapor pressure. This condition is often referred to as complete saturation. Humidity ranges from 0 gram per cubic metre in dry air to 30 grams per cubic metre (0.03 ounce per cubic foot) when the vapour is saturated at 30°C.
Another form of evaporation is sublimation, by which water molecules become gaseous directly from ice without first becoming liquid water. Sublimation accounts for the slow mid-winter disappearance of ice and snow at temperatures too low to cause melting.
Water vapor will only condense onto another
when that
is cooler than the

of the water vapor, or when the water vapor equilibrium in air has been exceeded. When water vapor condenses onto a

. The water molecule brings a parcel of heat with it. In turn, the
Fashion Tote Shepherd Cornflower Crazy German Bag Blue Shopper Lady wqS6TpWOX
of the atmosphere drops slightly. In the atmosphere, condensation produces clouds, fog and precipitation (usually only when facilitated by cloud condensation nuclei). The
dew point
of an air parcel is the
Fashion Tote Shepherd Cornflower Crazy German Bag Blue Shopper Lady wqS6TpWOX
to which it must cool before water vapor in the air begins to condense.
Also, a net condensation of water vapor occurs on
when the temperature of the

of the atmosphere. Deposition, the direct formation of ice from water vapor, is a type of condensation. Frost and snow are examples of deposition.

A senior Fort Riley commander said Friday steps were being taken to mitigate cuts in federal defense spending, ranging from changing training schedules to furloughing civilian employees.
Brig. Gen. Donald MacWillie held a briefing at 1st Infantry Division headquarters in northeast Kansas, where the cuts could result in furloughs for some 2,700 civilian employees. The unpaid time off could start in April and run through September, resulting in a 20 percent pay cut.

"I have very little flexibility remaining. So if there's another big shoe that falls, then we'll probably have another gathering like this," MacWillie said. "The decisions that will be made, clearly we've got contingencies that we've thought through, but unknown in the future. But we are postured to be able to accept that."
The Pentagon is expected to take a large proportion of the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts through the remainder of the fiscal year.
MacWillie said Friday's discussion was his own effort to inform the public and surrounding communities about the cuts and not part of a coordinated Army effort. A news conference regarding Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, was held at the city's chamber of commerce office Friday. President Barack Obama has used bases as backdrops as he made pleas to Congress to avoid the cuts.
"Why not step out and tell everybody, `Here are my cards and they're facing outward,"' MacWillie said. "You can ask me questions. You may not like my answers but I have an obligation as a leader to look you in the eye and tell you which direction I'm going in and we can have a dialogue about it.
"The fact that other posts are doing it may be that we've learned that it's good to come out and talk to people."
Fort Riley is home to nearly 18,000 soldiers, as well as countless families and retirees. MacWillie said it was unclear how the spending cuts would be felt in the nearby communities, but that they would be felt as paychecks are trimmed.
No soldiers were present at Friday's news conference.
MacWillie said the post was also looking at all civilian contracts and seeing where savings can be found. He said one example of cost-saving would be to use military vehicles around the post instead of paying for a van fleet, especially because the entire division – and their vehicles – are back from deployments.
He said 43 contract employees who were hired last April to backfill division staff that was deployed to Afghanistan will be let go early, as the uniformed staff is slated to return next week. Another three contracted employees at the brigade level were also released early.
In El Paso, city leaders said a study showed Fort Bliss and its medical center brings in $5.9 billion to the area's economy and creates nearly 62,000 jobs. Those officials also said that the automatic budget cuts would greatly impact the area, though they didn't give specifics. They said plan to lobby their congressional delegation and Pentagon officials next week.

How to put this delicately...the fashion at Sunday night's 2012 Emmy Awards was mostly not great. A lot of it was fine, if you like sparkly, crowd-pleasing gowns or bright colors, but there were only a few wow moments to be found. Well, guess, what - we found 'em. And we made a little post out of 'em, as we are wont to do.
We know you've probably seen a few Emmys best-dressed lists now, but we like you guys, and we like talking about fashion with you, even when the photographers who covered the red carpet arrivals didn't bother to get us any close-up shots of anyone's handbags. So if you'll indulge us a bit, we'd like to do a rundown of our favorite Emmy looks, including a few that we're sure will be controversial. Join us, won't you?
We'll start with a crowd-pleaser that I actually quite like - Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi in tangerine Monique Lhuillier. The material is delicate-looking and beautiful, and she wisely resisted the urge to over-accessorize a dress that makes a statement on its own with a wide swath of bright orange.
Lucy Liu's femme-warrior chain mail Versace number was my personal highlight of the evening. As much as I talk smack about Donatella's bags, the lady can werk when it comes to creating a stunning, architectural, thoroughly modern evening look. Also, Lucy Liu hasn't aged a single second since approximately 1998.
I don't know who Ginnifer Goodwin's stylist is, but she deserves a hefty bonus - Goodwin's almost always wearing something that looks both totally chic and totally her. This exceptionally detailed Monique Lhuillier gown has a brilliant little rise at the front of the skirt that both lightens the visual heft of wearing something so full and gives onlookers a peek at the beautiful shoe underneath - this time, a suede and clear vinyl Christian Louboutin pump that lends the whole look a bit of modernity.
Now, time for some of that promised controversy! I think Kat Dennings looks incredible in this cleavage-tastic J. Mendel gown. The deep, dark lip, the porcelain skin that's never been sullied by a spray tan, the BOOBS. We're all so used to seeing pin-thin actresses with immobile bolt-ons that this particular variety of décolletage seems a bit scandalous, but that's why I like it. If I had Kat's figure, I'd never wear clothes at all, so to me, this dress seems positively restrained.
The contrast of the neutral, intricate bodice and loud, simple skirt of Leslie Mann's ripped-from-the-runway Naeem Khan's works for me. In a more crowded red carpet race, I don't think it would have made the top 10, but she benefited from a weak field at Sunday night's ceremonies. That being said, it's perfect lovely and very eye-catching.
Tina Fey! It always makes me so happy when the ridiculously talented Ms. Fey picks something lovely; her red carpet choices tend to be a tad hit-or-miss. This figure-skimming Vivienne Westwood gown couldn't have been more perfect for her.
Modern Family's Ariel Winter is the youngest actress to make this list for her girlish-but-modern Katherine Kidd gown in an abstract floral print. I love a print on the red carpet, and too few people take the plunge. The shoes are a shame, though - I like the color, but the dress and occasion require something a tad more delicately shaped. (Think open-toe.) Still, I think the dress is a real winner for a teen actress.
More controversy! I loved Julianne Moore's bold, covered-up citrine gown from Raf Simons' first Dior Haute Couture collection. It's such a ballsy pick: a difficult color, a gown with both a high neck and long sleeves, a fit that's tailored within an inch of its life, no ostentatious bling to interrupt the line. I live for this sort of red carpet risk, and so few people ever take it. The ones who do always seem like they're daring the Internet to tear them to pieces. I think they should be applauded for it, and I thought the dress was beautiful - strong, modern, but with just enough Dior history sewn into it.
Nicole Kidman is a veteran of practically every best-dressed list known to man, and this blue beaded Antonio Berardi column looks wonderful on her. It'd also look pretty great as a knee-length cocktail dress.
Last but not least, we have Revenge star Emily VanCamp in light-as-a-weather dove grey J. Mendel. This dress is much better in pictures than it was in the wonky lighting that the TV cameras had on the carpet. Grey that soft can be challenging, but it doesn't wash her out at all. This design would also make a great wedding dress for a non-traditional bride - it's pretty in a way that will translate for years to come.
