Using the Logitech control panel set the steering lock to 360 degrees, then in-game select the appropriate preset for the wheel. Also using the in-game options set the speed sensitivity to 0% and ensure the steering deadzone is set to 0%. We recommend this as a good starting point however you may want to spend some time tweaking these values to better suit your driving style.

VPN Pizza Class
Hey all -
My wife surprised me with a 3 day Verace Pizza Napoletana training class out in Marina Del Rey at Antica Pizzeria. We just got back on Saturday night and it was awesome - a ton of work and I'm exhausted, but it was so much fun. You basically work in an actual restaurant making pizzas for actual paying customers...that was a little stressful! I probably made close to 300 pizzas over 3 days.
It was definitely geared more towards commercial operations, but I picked up a lot of tips on making dough, rolling dough balls, shaping pizza, managing the oven, managing multiple pizzas in the oven, etc. I also found out how easy it is to make fresh mozzarella. The hands on experience was extremely valuable. One thing to note was that they made good use of a log holder in their oven...i've already ordered mine from FB.
The place is owned by guys from Naples and it is very authentic. I will go through all of my notes and post the recipe for the VPN dough (Caputo flour only!!) and put some pictures up. You can google "vpn pizza" I think to find out the details.
Sticking it out there
Hey folks I live about 15 minutes from LAX. If you need a base camp we may be able to accomodate. Granted our facilities rate a 1/4 star on the Michelin Guide but we do have a fold out couch, plenty of living room floor and one working bathroom. This weekend would noot have been good since we have visitors from New Mexico and The Netherlands.
Hi All - pictures from my VPN Training excursion are now posted at
Those are some good looking pizzas!
Would you recommend it someone else?
I wanted to ask if you would recommend the class to owners of residential ovens? I have talked with a number of folks who attended the school who were either setting up restaurants or catering businesses, and they had good things to say.
Is it good for a non-professional cook?
Oh, man, am I jealous!!
Congrats on that experience!
I enjoy your site and the slide show of the training. What a great experience!
I'd love to see some opportunties like that come together for forum members like li'l ol' me.
James, if you can put this together I'll glad ride the Harley up to where you are.
I would say the class is good for the non-professional cook if you are very obsessive about your oven and want everything perfect - which I assume almost everyone in this group is.
It does give you some hands on experience for serving large groups/parties - which always comes in handy. Multiple pizzas in the oven was huge for me. Also learned a lot of tips on cooking the pizzas perfectly in the oven, how to manage heat, not burn the bottom, not burn the top, perfect peel sliding, perfect turning in the oven, and perfect dough handling...so I think if you use your oven a lot and entertain - it is awesome. Making mozzarella was great too - very easy. I'm picking up 10 lbs of curd on Monday!!
My habit has taken a dangerous turn...my wife and I just bought into a wood burning pizza restaurant slated to open in Dallas in October. Yikes.

An anonymous reader writes "NPR commentator Bonny Wolf has a unique solution to battle the threat of invasive fish species in our waterways. She proposes we fight them with a knife, fork, and a few lemon wedges. From the article: "Take the , which has made its way into tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. It competes with native species for food, and then eats the native species, not to mention the odd frog or bird, with its mouthful of sharp teeth. It's been called "Fishzilla." It breeds fast, has no natural predators and can grow to be 4 feet long. The northern snakehead hangs out in grassy shallows, making it hard to catch. But a couple of years ago, Maryland started promoting the snakehead as an eating fish. Its harvest has increased from zero to 5,000 pounds a year.""

C3 Interior Restoration - Inside Job
Restoring Our Stingray's Interior For Functional Good Looks

C3 Interior Restoration - Inside Job
Early Corvette interiors were built for performance, but there's always room for improvement. This month we'll restore and upgrade the interior of our C3 project car to optimize comfort, aesthetics, and functionality.
Mostly original, our Corvette's interior was showing its nearly four decades of age. Mindful of Editor Heath's critical eye, we decided to restore it with parts from Corvette Central and Summit Racing.
It's amazing how many items comprise the interior of the C3 two-seater, and it seemed that most of ours were cracked, broken, or missing. Fortunately we found all the replacement parts we needed in Corvette Central's C3 catalog.
When performing a major interior overhaul, it's best to remove all of the car's interior items, including the seats, console, kick panels, and periphery molding. The car can then be cleaned and prepped for reassembly with the new parts.
There's no doubt you'll encounter a few corroded fasteners in a car this old. We simply used a drill to drill the heads off stripped screws; once the panel is out, the remainder of the screw can usually be removed with vice grips. We got a whole interior fastener kit from Corvette Central, so we don't have to worry about reusing fasteners.
With the interior gutted, we cleaned up the floors with a shop-vac, then soap and water.
To provide a sound and heat barrier, we used automotive undercoating on the floors before adding our insulation and carpeting.
Adding modern thermal and sound barriers such as Dynamat to the floors, firewall, and behind the seats really helps keep the heat out of the cockpit, and reduces road noise as well. Yes, it adds a little weight, but we feel the benefits are worth it. And besides, the weight is low on the chassis.
Before installing carpeting, be sure to run speaker wires and RCA cables if you plan to install stereo equipment in the rear compartment.
The Corvette Central carpeting is pre-cut and molded to fit the contours of the C3 floors. The carpeting also has insulation bonded to the underside, so along with the Dynamat, it should provide a very quiet, comfortable ride. We replaced our doorsill plates when we painted the car, but if yours are worn, it's a good idea to replace them with the carpet.
Since we had access, we chose to replace our car's stock speakers with upgraded Pioneer units from the local audio store. We had to make a metal tab so they'd fit, but the improvement in sound quality is worth the effort.
All of the trim items we ordered from Corvette Central were of the highest quality, the proper color...
...and had all of the fastener holes pre-drilled where applicable.
While nearly all of the interior fasteners require a Phillips-head screwdriver, the lengths and types are varied.
We ordered a kit from Corvette Central that included all of the fasteners in clearly marked individual bags, so there's no mistake.
Even small items like the shifter boot...
...and door-lock knobs can make a big difference in the appearance of your car's interior. An ugly item next to all of these new parts can stand out and detract from the rest of the car, so we recommend replacing any parts that are questionable.
Knowing aftermarket seats were the best option for a performance car, we ordered a pair of Summit Racing's new Sport model buckets. These seats fit properly, and the simulated leather covering actually matches the stitched look of the rest of the cockpit. More importantly, these seats will be safer, with extra bolstering and provisions for a four-point safety harness.
Aftermarket safety harnesses are generally a requirement if you plan to race your Corvette at sanctioned events, and they're certainly safer than the OEM seatbelts. Summit Racing has a wide variety of harnesses with multiple colors, mounting, and release options, so finding the right set for your car is easy.
After marking the location of the seat- and harness-mounting holes, we use a soldering iron to melt holes in the carpet at the appropriate points. This method avoids the hazard of sharp blades and singes the carpet around the hole so it won't unravel later.
The seat tracks on the Summit Sport seats utilized spacers...
...which we removed to get the seat to sit lower in the cockpit. These seats are comfortable, provide great support for aggressive driving, and are economically priced.
To ensure our new parts don't succumb to the same fate as our old ones, we'll use Mother's Interior Protectant. This product enhances the luster of vinyl and plastic interior trim, and protects the interior from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.
We accomplished a lot on our project car this month, gutting the interior and installing new parts from Corvette Central and Summit Racing. The cockpit is beginning to take shape, and we can't wait to drive it. Be sure to watch future issues of VETTE, as we completely rebuild the dash and add aftermarket gauges, then overhaul the T-tops to complete C3 Triple-Ex's interior modifications.

Brendan Canning, who released his second solo LP a few weeks back, performs this Wednesday at the Chapel, so we asked our pal Jarid Maged, a legit BSS scholar, to perform a Q&A. Here it is:
Jarid: Back when the Broken Social Scene Presents solo records were released, they sounded to many like bonus BSS albums, so much so that BSS band mates toured in support of those records, and their songs later resurfaced at BSS shows. This album, however, is very different. No Broken Social Scene Presents, no Arts & Crafts (rather, your own Draper Street Records). You Gots 2 Chill is so laid back, so beautiful, that I've found it really hard to call this a true sophomore solo record (in the wake of Something For All of Us). What was it that steered you in this direction?
Brendan: It's true. The BSS presents series was more of a way more Kevin and myself to have a final and unequivocal say on how our albums should sound without having to check with everyone. Everyone in BSS had their own bands: we did not; and so I suppose YG2C is really my first solo effort and my new band has no direct affiliation to BSS. Although Greg Calderone, multi-instrumentalist in my band, starred in This Movie is Broken.
For the past fifteen years or so I've been playing more and more acoustic guitar, so much so that I would say it's my primary instrument. That is the inspiration behind this album. A lot of years of collecting riffs, developing my style
and then finally the opportunity to breathe and make some creations that I've wanted to make. The first installment if you will.
With this record, did you feel at all liberated with distancing yourself from Broken Social Scene Presents? Given that this is the first solo record since the hiatus was announced, did the core members of BSS – or your own time in BSS – have any influence at all on the final product?
Ohad Benchetrit of BSS/Do Make Say Think and myself collab'd on Post Fahey and Makes You Motor at his studio Th' Schvitz. Those tunes were finished before I did the bulk of this record with Steve Singh, also a band mate and high school chum.
He also runs a home studio, Hutch.
Like many major cities, Toronto's changing with the times, becoming, like San Francisco, very tech heavy (and very expensive). When I think Toronto, the last thing that comes to mind these days is the ability to, well, Chill (yet you somehow seem to pull it off). I noticed you've lived on Draper Street for over two decades, so you've definitely seen a lot of things change around you. How much of your own Toronto experience played into the song writing and recording process?
Well it's my life so Toronto is a huge part of where my inspiration comes from. From the filthy air, to the never-ending condo sprawl, to the beautiful people I get to see every day and the vibrancy that never lets me down. Most of the time. Your own sanity is your own responsibility.
There's so much do-it-yourself all over this record, from the living room recordings, right down to the cover art. Broken Social Scene started out very DIY, and grew into one of the most influential bands (brands, even) in indie / Toronto music, providing the foundation for what would become one of most well-known labels in the business in Arts & Crafts. Do you see Draper Street Records growing into something more than You Gots 2 Chill?
I believe the phrase don't put the cart before the horse should be heard. Baby steps.
Is there a story behind the voicemails, and the decision behind in putting some on the record? I heard that you still have a landline ("Long Live Land Lines" perhaps?). I'm picturing a tape recorder answering machine too, no?
No, just automated voicemail on the landline. I still like talking on a landline. I had a lot of riffs collected on my answering machine and it's really a big part of my process so why not invite people into that world for thirty seconds?
Now it's voice memos on the cell.
To date, the videos in support of the record ("Plugged In" and "Bullied Days") are stunning low-budget films that have kept you almost entirely off-screen – needless to say, a bit of a change from that Brendan Canning as John Travolta character we saw in Something's "Love Is New" a few years back. Why the decision to stay off-screen this time around?
No reason in particular-it just worked out that way and I like the fact I'm not really in the videos save for a cameo.
I leave certain creative decisions up to my partner in the label, Sarah Haywood.
So, visa issue in October; there seem to be more and more of these lately. First, that sucks (and I missed you in New York). What happened?
A boring and expensive and terribly annoying story which I won't bore you with. I suppose the positive is that I was able to re-jig the band and swap out a couple members. After two shows we made three line-up changes. It just worked out that way.
Compared to the Broken Social Scene collective of somewhere between a dozen and two dozen touring members at any given time, relative to BSS tours, what's life on the road been like this time around?
I love my new band and we've become a tight unit in a relatively short period of time. It's very familial and a back to basics kind of tour. Snug in a van, long drives, winter frost with the finishing line in LA. I'm enjoying it for all it's worth. My bandmate Greg and I jumped in Mara lake in the Canadian Rockies a few days ago. Extremely cold and life affirming. New band baptismal.
When I think Broken Social Scene live shows, chaos comes to mind. I have to imagine these shows are very different. Gone are the leg kicks this time around?
It's true-there are no leg kicks. That is not to say this band doesn't get very loud and proud but it is not a BSS show, this band is very much it's own thing and it's solid.
It's been awhile (October 2011, in fact; for now, the last Broken Social Scene show in the US), but any San Francisco memories you'd like to share?
All SF gigs for BSS were ALWAYS memorable.
Our first shows at Great American Music Hall, Bimbo's, the Filmore, Outside Lands, you name it. SF was basically top three in the world for BSS and it was always an event. I am forever grateful for the love we got in that town. That's why we played our very last gig in North America in SF.
I will soon be touching down at the Phoenix Hotel and that is basically like saying I'm home.

Italian aircraft designers will have a gift ready for the US market when the AirVenture 2009 show opens at Oshkosh next week - a four-seat, twin-engine aircraft moulded from Tecnam's popular easy-to-fly, all-metal, factory-built light sport aircraft (LSA).
The Tecnam P2006T has the same automotive fuel-burning Rotax engines, gearboxes and aluminium wing structures as Tecnam's LSAs, but will be certificated under Part 23 and so be available for broader missions.
It was certificated in Europe in May and is causing a buzz in the US, says Lynne Birmingham, Georgia-based US sales representative for Tecnam.
"We're seeing a lot of requests from the air taxi industry," says Birmingham. Many of those inquiries are coming from operators of single-engine Cirrus aircraft who want a low-cost twin-engine aircraft. Pricewise, a P2006T is similar to a high-end Cirrus - well equipped, with options including a Garmin glass panel, for about $500,000.
But in terms of performance, the Rotax 912S-powered aircraft is unlike most, if not all, Part 23 twins.
Tecnam says the geared 100hp (73kW) Rotax engines for the P2006T weigh only 64kg (140lb) each and have a frontal area of 0.15m2 (1.6ft2), compared with 146kg and 0.4m2 for the Lycoming O-360 180hp engine that powers the four-seat Diamond DA42 twin, a direct competitor for the new model.
Birmingham says FAA validation is expected "in the next couple of months".
Tecnam, which imports about 40 LSAs a year into the USA, where it has a 6% market share with about 120 aircraft distributed so far, says larger, college-based flight schools are interested in the P2006T.
German LSA manufacturer Flight Design, maker of the carbonfibre CT LSA and all-metal MC model, is also seeing more interest from flight schools. "Some kind of sea-change has happened," says Tom Peghiny, president of Flight Design USA.
"Historically, the primary market for the LSA was private aircraft owners seeking refuge from their FAA medical. Now more people are looking for new technology and a cheaper way to fly, and we're more active with flight schools."
Peghiny says the change is partly due to the ability to fuel the aircraft with lower-cost automobile gasoline, but also to an increase in students wanting sport pilot training.
At Oshkosh, Flight Design will bring its first production all-metal MC model LSA to the US market as the prize in an Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) raffle.
The company will also show a German-made hybrid engine concept - a 40kW electric motor combined with a Rotax 914 engine. Because of its weight, this design would be for a four-seat aircraft.
Operationally, such an aircraft would use engine and electric power for maximum thrust on take-off, and engine power only for cruise, says Peghiny.
The company has worked on the design for a four-seater, but is not actively developing it, he adds.
Flight Design is the best-selling manufacturer in the US market for factory-built LSAs, having delivered 300 CT aircraft.
Peghiny says sales this year will be down about 30% on last year, which itself was down from a high of 100 deliveries in 2007.
Despite the drop, Peghiny points out that US distribution has remained "slow but sustainable" throughout the economic crisis.

Education plays a very important in one's life. Education helps in the development of the overall personality of every individual. Education is a necessity in this modern world. Education develops self confidence in a person. Receiving basic education is the right of every individual. Education involves teaching as well as learning. It is the duty of every parent to impart education to their children so that they become good citizens of the country. Education can be attained in schools, colleges, and institutions. Today students can also go for higher education or correspondence courses by using internet as a media. Schooling is the first stage of education. The fact that education plays a very important role in one's life should be made clear to everyone.
Stages of Education
The three basic stages of education are mentioned below:
1. Primary education
2. Secondary education
3. Higher education
It is necessary to attain this basic qualification before one plans to go for further education.
Forms of Education
There are many forms of education that can be used by teachers to make students learn. Students can also adopt any of the forms of education available to make learning an interesting process.
1. Legal education
2. Management education
3. Development education
4. Online education
5. Language education
6. Vocational education
7. Computer education
Importance of Education
Education plays an important role in today's modern world. Education is necessary for every individual as well as for the progress of any country. If more people are educated, they will contribute to the growth of the economy of any country. Education also brings freedom in the way a person thinks. It enables a person to view everything from a broader perspective and also helps a person to develop the sense to distinguish right from wrong. Education should not be measured by number of degrees one holds or the number of exams one has cleared. Also the salary that one draws or the job profile of a person is not a measure of how educated a person is. An educated person progresses in life and stays happy and healthy. Education is not only obtained in schools and colleges but starts from home itself.
Jobs after Education
After one attains education, a person can get a job in any organization. There are many job opportunities that are available to educated people. There are many jobs in marketing and management areas where educated people can join as executives and earn a good salary. Most jobs require people applying for jobs to either be graduates or post graduates.
It can be said that education acts as the life and blood in the modern world, especially for those who want to work in some organization after completing their education. Education is not only restricted to learning from text books but encompasses much more than that. One can even learn from the surroundings and from people who one interacts with. This helps one to learn more than what text books can teach.

Clarity Eye Group
19671 Beach Blvd. Suite 400
(In the Century 21 Building)
Huntington Beach, California 92648
Monday – Friday 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM
Welcome to Clarity Eye Group
At Clarity Eye Group's state-of-the-art offices, patients can choose from a variety of sophisticated vision correction treatments. Over the years, Clarity Eye Group's eye surgeons have established a reputation as some of the best Huntington Beach / Orange County cataracts surgery specialists, as well as some of the most accomplished Newport Beach, Fountain Valley and Orange County LASIK experts. They also have extensive experience performing implantation of advanced intraocular lens implants, such as ReStor, Tecnis Multifocal and Crystalens in Orange County. To learn more about these and other procedures offered at Clarity Eye Group's offices, please click on the links below.
There are various products and procedures available to surgeons for correcting a patient's vision. One option is the surgical placement of an artificial lens in the eye to complement or replace the patient's weakened natural lens.
Common refractive errors including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (misshapen cornea) are often effectively corrected through refractive surgery. While the available treatments and techniques vary greatly, procedures such as LASIK, PRK and LASEK are among the most commonly performed, and each involves reshaping the cornea with an excimer laser.
In addition to laser eye surgeries and procedures to implant artificial lenses in the eyes, surgeons are now able to improve vision with a host of other surgical procedures, as well as correct diseases and disorders of the eyelids.
There are many surgical options available to Orange County / Huntington Beach patients who want to improve their appearance by treating the area around their eyes, which is often the first area of the face to show signs of aging.

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Collapsible Container:
Since I'm short, I tend to drag it across the yard, so I put duct tape on the bottom to keep it from tearing. Sharp twigs could also poke through the sides, so I only put weeds and leaves in mine.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Big Help
By Poopsie
from Las Cruces, NM
About Me Budget Shopper
I have always had trouble filling the garden trash bag while trying to gather the trash to put in the bag. My husband isn't always around when I am doing the gardening so extra hands are helpful. This item will be a big help since the bag will be held in place for me.
Collapsible Container

I used to have one, but it was much bigger and more durable and that is what it looked like when I ordered it.It's okay, it will do but I still wish I had a more durable one and a bigger one!ThanksMarilyn

Great for holding a plastic bag used for collecting clippings.
Best lawn containers...ever!!!
By Cat Lady
from St Petersburg, FL
These containers are extremely lightweight and durable which is important for those of us that are unable to lift heavy objects. My last containers like this lasted for 4 years with almost daily use! Well worth the money!
Yardwork Made Easier
By Marge
from Edenton, NC
The first time I used it I put a trash bag in it. Big mistake! I do a lot of yard work and have a huge yard. It is so easy to tote around and put yard debris in it. You open a trash bag and dump the debris in to it when it's full and keep going. Much easier than lugging around a wheelbarrow or trash bag.

Frame far from sturdy
By Carol
from Portsmouth, VA
Wanted to use it with a lawn bag inside to put leaves, limbs, weeds etc. into it. Sides kept on collapsing and lawn bag was very difficult to remove when it was full. It definitely is easy to fold and store but I was very disappointed it was not strong enough to support the lawn bags.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

You can use Javascript to open up a popup window from the main window.
The popup window can close itself with Javascript (using the "onSubmit="
attribute I think). Those are simple enough.
The tricky part is getting the popup window (before it closes itself) to
make the main window load a new page. You can do that also with
Javascript and the "onSubmit" attribute, by referencing the popup window's
parent window (which gets defined automatically when the main window
creates the popup window) and telling that parent window to load a new
address. I'm sure you can find the right commands for it easily on
Google; I think that's how I found it last time. Let me know if you can't
figure it out and I'll try to dig up some code.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - A fire in northwest Cedar Rapids left four adults and a teenager without a home Saturday morning.
It happened at about 2 a.m. at 925 A Ave NW when one of the residents called 911 about a fire in a second floor bedroom.
When firefighters got there, smoke and flames were coming from the bedroom window. Investigators say the fire mostly surrounded a mattress and chimney in the room.
The fire caused smoke and heat damage throughout the second floor but little damage on the first floor.
The home's utilities had to be shut off to precent any further damage. Now the Red Cross is helping the five people who once lived there.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Receiving an invitation to interview with an employer is an exciting accomplishment, but there is still more work to do. You should have already thought a great deal about what you want out of a career, what your interests are, and how the employer fits into the picture. The task before you now is to think about how you will articulate this information in a clear and intelligent manner.
You must go into the interview with a clear understanding of yourself and your goals. Be able to talk comfortably about your strengths and weaknesses, your vocational interests, and how your skills and experiences prepare you for the employer's specific needs. Check out the Self-Assessment section of the website for more information on this topic.
Specifically, be sure you are able to answer the likely first question: Why do you want to work here?
Call the employer ahead of time to find out your schedule and with whom you will meet.
Talk to other people about the employer: CPD staff, professors, clinic fellows, adjunct professors, 2Ls, 3Ls or UST alumni who work or have worked for the company, and contacts of all of the above.
Review the corporation, firm, agency, office or organization's website.
If you can find out names of attorneys working there, you can do other research, such as:
Finally, you can also find out whether they have spoken at other events, fundraisers, CLEs, whether they have written articles in online newspapers, newsletters, other journals: www.google.com.
One of the best ways to prepare for an interview is to do a mock interview a few days before the real one. This is an excellent way to organize your thoughts, pace yourself, and boost your confidence. Your mock interviewer will be able to provide you with feedback to help you improve before the interview with your potential employer. Call CPD at (651)962-4860 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to request a 45-minute mock interview slot.
S = Situation (one sentence)
C = Challenge or Task you faced
A = Action you took (meat of the answer)
R = Result (Make sure you have a conclusion)
You must be fully prepared to ask a prospective employer questions at the end of an interview. Not only is this your chance to gather the information you'll need to make an informed decision should the employer extend you an offer, but you will be evaluated on the quantity and quality of questions you ask. This is one of the best opportunities to distinguish yourself from other candidates, so use this to your advantage. Consider these examples to get you started:
For both public sector (i.e., government) and public interest employers, they want to see a commitment to their cause. This could be a commitment to public or community service generally.
Government employers are more likely to ask ethical or hypothetical questions geared to evaluate your ethical barometer. An example of an ethical question would be: "define justice?"
There is no real way to prepare for such a question, but bear in mind that when asked this type of question, the interviewer is more interested in how you think through the problem than if you gave the "right" answer.
What does this mean for the interview? In preparing your 3 three's, keep in mind the following:
Three reasons they should hire you:
The single most important reasons they should hire you is that you have experience with their client base. If you do not have experience with their client base, you can cite to experience with a disadvantaged population with something in common with their client base (some examples might be: low-income, people of color, GLBT, non-native English speakers, elderly, disabled, at-risk youth).
Regardless, you need to demonstrate an awareness of the special issues or sensitivities of the clients they are serving (e.g., victims of discrimination and systemic oppression, victims of domestic violence or torture, recent immigrants, the elderly, or individuals with disabilities).
Look at the job description to see what other skills they want or tailor the skills you highlight to the job description.
If the job is in greater Minnesota, you should also highlight any connection you have with the area, the community, and possibly any intention you have of working in the area post graduation, if appropriate.
Three reasons you want to work there:
One of the reasons you want to work there should be that you believe in their cause and in how they are working for their cause. In short, you think their work needs to be done and they are doing it right!
Now, the tricky part: how do you convey this?
- Lecture them / preach to the choir
- Spout platitudes
- Know their mission statement.
- Know their client base.
- Know why their client base needs free
legal services or advocacy and convey that you "get it."
You can do this in a personal way – but not too personal. Give information about an experience that helped you "get it," inspired your passion, etc. This must be concise and clearly linked to why you want to do this work.
Extra points:
Here are a few pointers for preparing to succeed with your telephone interview:
Remember if you need to do a phone interview during the day, you can come to the Student Services Suite and use an empty office. Please contact our front desk in advance so that we make sure a room is reserved for you.

The Best Selfies of 2013
We all know it's an art form, but now "selfie" has reached the epitome of the written word as well. That's right, "selfie" was named the Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionaries.
The premier experts in the business of the English language define a selfie as, "a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website." But no one needed to tell our passengers that.
You snapped them all on your own!
From the far corners of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter you documented everything from the monumental to the mundane on your train trips across the country. In fact, this year you tagged more than 100,000 pictures with the hashtag #Amtrak on Instagram, and a ton of those were selfies!
To celebrate the end of an awesome year of Amtrak selfies, we've picked the top 10 best selfies of 2013! But, hey, there's still time left before the New Year. Grab a seat, smartphone and smile to join the fun!
The All-Bro Selfie
The Chill Selfie
The Fresh Selfie
The "I Was There" Selfie
The Statue Selfie
The Seriously Happy Selfie
The Video Selfie
Have you taken a selfie on one of our trains? Tag it with the hashtag #Amtrak to join the conversation!

In a world of specialization during an era of specialization, one of the lost aspects of effective training for powerlifters has come from the demise of dumbbell work. There are those like Louie Simmons who combine many new, innovative approaches to training with "old school" techniques and equipment and Louie specifically incorporates some dumbbell work into his programs. Most do not and for those lifters who are so specialized that they take an "Eastern European Olympic Weightlifting Approach" to powerlifting, doing only the three lifts or some variation of them, they may never use a dumbbell in any training program. For the powerlifters of the 1960's when the sport was first organized, dumbbells were a staple of many training routines as both adjunctive and "major" exercises. As our previous installments in this series discussed the quality, differences, construction, and most other aspects of the barbells used in training and competition, a few descriptive words are warranted for the oft-forgotten and recently maligned dumbbells. Allow me please to first raise the hackles of numerous readers and many more self-appointed experts who have, in the past fifteen years, touted the praises of kettlebells.
It is true that any training modality can be effective in enhancing the muscular size and strength of a trainee. I have often stated that the tool used in training is far less important than the manner in which that tool is used. I believe a single, albeit lengthy, sentence can place kettlebells and kettlebell training in its proper perspective:
Many decades ago there was a great battle that spread across the globe, encompassing the time and effort of thousands of individuals and leading to the overhaul of long held dogma and activity, and in that great battle, kettlebells lost, dumbbells won.
It really is that simple. The fact, and it is a fact, that a balanced dumbbell allows for safer, more efficient, more effective, and a greater variety of training made it the overwhelming choice of those who lifted heavy objects for the purpose of providing exercise that would make them stronger. From the late 1930's or at least by the end of the Second World War, until the mid-1990's, you would have to trip over an elderly man's stored possessions in a darkened, dusty basement to find a kettlebell in the United States. They were relics and rightly so. The limitations placed upon the trainee were too great to make them commercially viable in the gym business and most serious powerlifters and bodybuilders discovered that if they were going to do exercises where their choice fell between dumbbells and kettlebells, there was no choice, dumbbells would be used. When it became "fashionable" in the fitness industry and allow me please, to state that again and stress the term "fitness industry," to lift and move heavy, awkward objects, someone's light bulb went on and an entire new cottage industry was born. A series of articles in mid-1980's issues of Muscular Development Magazine will indicate that I was in the forefront of what has unfortunately come to be called "functional training" because many of my trainees were asked to traverse our lengthy driveway while pushing what appeared to be a friction controlled lawn mower, flipping heavy tires, carrying sections of I-beam that I had welded handles to, dragging sections of anchor or rigging chain, and "finishing" with car or truck pushing on our street. I have never been comfortable with the term "functional training" because all productive training is functional. These "total body movements" were just hard work exercises done at a high level of intensity that made me get to the brink of "total annihilation," a way to push myself even harder than the high rep squats might have done, thus, I adapted the types of heaving and carrying I did on the job with my father. The comments and letters sent to Muscular Development in 1985 or so were often of the "…what the hell is this stuff and why are you publishing it?" ilk as much as they were complimentary relative to coming up with something "different."
As a high school and college student seeking to become bigger and stronger (without realizing I would also become significantly faster), I would walk or run up the steep, long stairway to the loft of my father's iron shop holding a York 100 pound dumbbell in each hand; I would squat and then push my car up and down the street that we lived on (and to paraphrase from a decades old article, "…to the delight and consternation of my neighbors" as I often vomited either immediately after or while performing this specific exercise); I would farmers walk (and I will reiterate and again negate the claim of another that I came to name that exercise, as the name existed long before I did) various sections of beam to which I had welded handles. All of the above movements and exercises like them can be done progressively, intensely, and in a way that stimulates changes in one's physiology, they are all useful. However, "functional training" has now come to be spoken of as if it is both a specialized and very special, exotic means to add to one's levels of strength and fitness. Kettlebells are right in the middle of this mix and more than any other "functional modality," kettlebells have become a "be-all and end-all" for many in the fitness field.
Kettlebells can certainly add variety to a session, as can any other unusual or infrequently used object. There are some effective exercises like swings, presses, cleans, and even curls that can be done but one could make the case that the same movements are as effective and in many if not most cases, more effective and safer if performed with dumbbells. There is no doubt that dumbbells are easier to handle and thus safer to handle. Kettlebell proponents will make their case that it is the relative inefficiency of handling the implement that makes kettlebell training effective. For any so-called advantage in performing a kettlebell movement in place of the same dumbbell movement in order to "give work to the small supportive muscles," or "to add to the balance factor" one also suffers a decrease in training efficiency and intensity as well as focus upon the targeted musculature. Let me add here that in my opinion, one that obviously there will be disagreement with (especially from those who own or operate "all kettlebell gyms"), kettlebells can be an enjoyable way to add variety and a bit of fun to a workout. If a dumbbell press is a "good" exercise, a kettlebell press can be a "good" exercise. The dumbbell is an obviously more effective and safer tool where either implement can be used but I am not saying that "all kettlebell" training cannot be effective. There are some true physical specimens, strong, enduring, and flexible who have done the majority of their training with the ancient implements proving that but I would also quickly contend that they would have done as well if not better with a more efficient tool.
While this brief piece will set the internet chat boards buzzing and the new wave of fitness entrepreneurs and strength gurus hollering, especially those tied to commercial interests that sell kettlebells, kettlebell training courses, kettlebell seminars, and perhaps newly minted kettlebell attire screaming in protest and pointing fingers in my direction while using phrases like "know-nothing," without the commercial and finance generated push kettlebell training has received only since the mid-1990's, these objects would still be no more than a footnote to the history of the Iron Game. What some also don't know is that dumbbells, like barbells and plates, have varied in type, quality, construction, and ease of use since their introduction to the strength and powerlifting world. As a footnote to this specific column it should be noted that my lovely and insightful wife Kathy noted the same disadvantages of kettlebell training while predicting it would "be the next big thing" in the commercial arena, way back in a 1987 issue of our STEEL TIP NEWSLETTER thus the more things change, the more they remain the same!

Canada's Triclosan Assessment Identifies Potential Harm to the Environment
9:51 AM MDT | April 2, 2012 | Kara Sissell
Health Canada has issued a preliminary risk assessment of the antimicrobial triclosan, saying it is not harmful to human health but "significant amounts can cause harm to the environment." Health Canada says that, due to these environmental concerns, it will begin discussions with industry "on the potential for voluntary reductions in the use of triclosan in products." The proposed assessment also found "no clear link between the use of products containing triclosan and antibacterial resistance." Triclosan is used in a...

Ignacio Galán made the comments in a week when SSE said it was to limit its commitment to offshore wind projects round Scotland.
Scottish Power itself announced in December that it was abandoning the £5.4 billion Argyll Array Offshore Wind Farm off the coast of Tiree, saying offshore wind technology would not make this viable within the next decade.
Speaking at Iberdrola's annual general meeting in Bilbao, Mr Galán confirmed investments in wind power through its ScottishPower subsidiary under current regulatory conditions.
"We will continue investing in wind energy projects, both onshore and offshore, for which there is a clear framework for installations that will begin operations up to 2017," he said.
ScottishPower has approximately 1420MW of onshore wind generation capacity in the UK, including the most recent project, the 136MW Harestanes windfarm in Dumfries and Galloway.
Mr Galán said this will be increased further with the 389MW, £1.6bn, West of Duddon Sands windfarm offshore south west of Barrow in Furness, "which we expect to be fully operational this year".
Mr Galán said it was vital to create a single European regulator to promote a stable, predictable and coherent framework that could attract investment.
