The world of online domains is opening up – soon hundreds of new domains will be available on the Internet and companies are starting to market new domains. To create a name space where property buyers, sellers and investors can go to find a REALTOR®, the most credible, trusted real estate information, resources and professional services online, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® applied with ICANN in 2011 to operate a new branded .REALTOR top level domain. Only members of NAR and the Canadian Real Estate Association can call themselves REALTORS®, and only real estate professionals who are REALTORS® will be allowed to use the .REALTOR domain.
The launch of the awareness campaign for the .REALTOR top level domain will be revealed at the 2013 REALTORS® Conference & Expo in San Francisco this week. The campaign will bring awareness to the new domain, showcase its benefits to members, and encourage them to sign-up new to receive advance notification to claim their domain as soon as it becomes available. Beginning Thursday, November 7th, members can sign up at www.SignUpForDotREALTOR.com to receive advance email notification for priority registration of .REALTOR domains, one day prior to general release. Members attending the Conference may visit NAR Booth #5644 to register and ask questions.
In the meantime, Go Daddy, and other domain sellers are beginning to promote a list of top level domains which will become available, including .REALTOR. These domain sellers have no relationship with NAR, nor the sale of .REALTOR domains. Members should not pre-register or pay an outside company for a .REALTOR top level domain, because NAR will oversee registrations for .REALTOR when it is approved by ICANN. Additionally, NAR will provide members who register with a FREE one-year license for a .REALTOR domain name of their choice.
For more information, visit www.REALTOR.org/Domain for additional talking points, FAQ, and an informative short video.

Are you flirting with me?1 Reviews
Pierre takes Crystal on a date, and then they walk on the beach together.
"What?" She replied. "Liar!"
I swear, he even wrote his cell number on the autograph. Look!"
"OMG, he just asked you out?"
"Well, we had this...MOMENT, where we looked into eachothers eyes. It was really intense. I swear, when we were looking in eachothers eyes, I couldn't see or hear anything around me. I hope he felt the same way." We went home screaming. After I got inside, I went to bed. Just as I started to settle in my bed, my phone rang.
"Hey, Crystal... It's Pierre."
"So I was thinking, how is tomorrow for a date with me?"
"That sounds great, pick me up at 7, please?"
"Absaloutly." We hung up and I giggled for a minute. The next day came and I couldn't wait. I had to do so much stuff to keep busy. Finally, I started to get ready.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Walkers and bicycle riders will soon get their own special place to cross the Ohio River. Click on the slide show above for an advance look at what the $26 million Big Four Bridge renovation looks like.
It has spectacular views of downtown Louisville and the Ohio River. The $26 million project will open to the public Thursday morning following a short ceremony at 11 o'clock.
"This is the most anticipated part of Waterfront Park," says the Deputy Director of the Waterfront Development Corporation, Mike Kimmel. He took WDRB on a tour of the old railroad bridge.
Turning the Big Four into a pedestrian bridge has been in the planning stages for more than 20 years. Getting funding for the project proved to be a big challenge.
Kimmel says people will love the views but there is much more to appreciate. "They are also going to love the architecture of the bridge, it has kind of a cathedral vault to it," says Kimmel.
The Big Four will be open 24 hours a day. It has plenty of lighting and benches to take a break and enjoy the views. There are even speakers in the middle of the bridge where you can hear music.
As a tribute to its past as a railroad bridge, what looks like a rail line runs through the middle and will serve as a bike lane with walkers on both sides.
Although the bridge is finally opening, an effort continues to raise $2 million to add LED lighting to showcase the bridge at night.
Construction of the ramp to the bridge on the Indiana side is expected to be finished by summer.

I am a teenage photographer looking to buy my first DSLR and didnt know which one to go for?
The Nikon D5100 with the kit lens or the D3100 with a few more lenses and accessories.
Need help. thanks!
Thanks for that comment. I currently use a bridge camera. The Fuji S2950. Really want a DSLR though.
I am somewhat puzzled that a beginner runs a photographic business and would like to know what camera to purchase, both not really suitable for professional photography. I would say a minimum requirement for this type of work would be the Canon EOS 5D MK II, maybe the MK III or the new Nikon D800/D800E. If you are starting out and think it's a matter of taking a few shots etc, think again, as wedding photography is specialised and takes a long time to get it right. Get this wrong while taking someones wedding photo's could get you in deep water. If you are a beginner, as you say you are, I suggest going to a specialist wedding photographer and asking him/her if you can go along and to weddings to see what they do and maybe if you're lucky, they will teach you at the same time.
Going off at a tangent, in that advert that CB's found; there's no need for an apostrophe after "Richards."
Bit of a troll thread imo and even thinking about weddings being a teenager with a sub standard setup backs that statement up but can I stick up for bridge camera`s, not even recent one`s?
I am certainly not on the look out for weddings or bar mitzvah`s but I recently sold a Panasoninc FZ30 bridge camera which was circa 2006?
The noise was horrendous even at iso 200 but the actual image was spot on, the Leica lens was very nice. Thinking about it now that was the best thing I ever bought because not only did it teach me about apertures and shutter speeds it also taught me about post processing to achieve an image that was presentable.
There is always a positive out of a negative (no pun). Must stop doing that.
Anyway to the OP why not upload some pics and we can see what DSLR you may require, entry/mid/high end.
The workman should never blame his tools, unless the battery runs out.....
Thomas, Given the comments above I would set your sights a little lower than turning pro at the moment, I would favour going for the D3100 and a lens or two, (just get the best you can afford on the lens front, bearing in mind the comments else where, that is about changing bodies more frequently. If your lenses are too low a quality you will have to upgrade them too when you get a better body!) If you can't reach that, then maybe settle for just a D3100/D5100 body and partner it with something like the Sigma standard Zoom, they do a kit lens replacement that's a cracker, but you will have to check the equipment reviews (some on this site) for more details on the righy lens, then build up as you canafford/need. the other option is to go for a decent second hand camera/lens Like a D200, D90 or even a Canon 50/60D, target camera shops for this like LCE, as you will get some back-up with this route and useful advice. the thing with second hand to watch out for and stay away from, is ex pro equipment as it usually suffers a tharshing! Then get some proper training, certainly photographic, but if you want to go pro you will also need to have plenty of business knowhow. I've Known good photographers who fail as pro's because of the lack of the latter and average snappers, good with business skills, who do quite well thank you.
Regards Andy M
To be fair to Thomas I dont see the words Professional Photographer in his add.
A true Professional would I suggest not even get out of bed for Thomas's prices.
The so called professional that my daughters, in laws, hired for her wedding (ceremony only) cost them £2000, just as well I had a spare SD card as he didnt I sold him my spare £100 it was only a bog standard scandisk 4gb (nice profit) his shots were very amateur to the point that the final payment was refused and I ended up making up various albums from mine and other guests shots.
NOTE I have been told he has since gone of the radar.
If Thomas is serious about going Pro for weddings then I would suggest seriously upping the budget D800 Nikon 50mm 1.4 for beautiful portraits, Sigma 10-20 for group work, plus something like a 30-200 2.8 for candid shots not forgetting a speedlight for in chuch (when allowed and always ask first) and in the reception venue.
Going Pro is expensive not just the camera equipment but also fast PC upmarket monitor printer etcetc
Many GOOD photographers have tryed going pro and failed more so now that we are in digital where it seems a sound knowledge of processing seems to be taking over from skill with camera
Thomas, I think it's a bit too soon for you to put yourself forward for pro photography. I would recommend that you take a step back and evaluate things with a level head. Please don't read all the above posts and just get angry, some may sound blunt and harsh but it really is for your own benefit. As soon as you start asking to be paid for your work people expect a certain standard and you can get into a lot of trouble if your work falls short.
I would recommend spending a few years building your photographic ability before looking at turning pro. Use this website, post up some of your work for crits, look at college courses or bespoke portrait/wedding courses, join a local camera club, and most importantly, practice.
When you are ready you will know yourself that the D3100 and D5100 aren't up to the job, plain and simple. Wedding photography required a camera that can perform well at high ISO - for situations where the lighting isn't great and your not allowed to use flash. I'd say the minimum you could get away with using would be a D300 or D7000 level camera. Next would be the lenses, again you'll want them to be able to perform well in low light, this means F2.8 zooms and fast primes become your best friends. Then when you are able to use flash you have to know how to use it, using the on board flash will be the death of your images, learn how to use off camera and hot shoe flash effectively.
All the best for the future, I hope you take the constructive points from these posts and use it to create a plan for the years to come.
Quote: To be fair to Thomas I dont see the words Professional Photographer in his add.
If you're taking payment, then you are seen by your clients as a professional. To be fair to Thomas, he does cover his current situation in his About page, but I would recommend waiting and developing your talent before trying to launch a business.
Whether or not this is a troll thread, the basic answer to the basic question probably has to be "neither" now that the D3200 has appeared on the scene.

Sorry, I don't get it.
I read it twice, but really i can't get the point of the story.
It was just a "strange" interview, nothing more, or wasn't it?
Re: The Angry MD
2012-10-18 08:12 • by Tim Ward (unregistered)
Well, the interviewer hadn't read the CV before walking into the interview room, but so what else is new?
It's hardly rare to be given a CV completely out of the blue and be told "you're interviewing this guy now, he's waiting for you in such-and-such a room".
He didn't realise there was a second side to the CV which is why he was asking about all the meaningless jobs which were presumably at the beginning of Steve's career.
This is why people tell you to fit your CV onto a single side of paper...
This is why you should aim to keep CV on a single page and list only the relevant experience to the job you're applying.
What kind of person puts "inventorying network switches" on a CV for a software company?
Badly written anecdote is badly written.
Soooooooooooo... the MD had never heard of double-sided printouts before that day? THAT'S the point?
That's probably why Linked in starts with your current job, not the one summer tomato picking you did.
No we picked them by hand.
No we walked with a cart to the isle to manually dump them in a bigger cart.
No i'm sure there was no computer in the sorting machine
[turns page]
Yes i was chief architect at [redacted company]
In the UK we're told our CV should be approximately two sides - the one sided resumé is an American thing.
Are you also told to list all the old irrelevant crap in exhaustive detail on the first page and save the goodies for dessert?
I'm thinking there must be more to this story but the back side of my monitor is blank...
From my observations one or two pages does not matter. What does matter is that you put the most important stuff first and work your way to the least important. If the least imporant goes onto a second page that is fine. The interviewer will stop reading the resume once they lose interest.
I was under the impression from the story that the guy put his degree information on the second page (I put my degree information on the second page since I view it as less important). And the MD had some prejudice against people without degrees, but in this case only to realize the guy actually did have a degree.
I had problems in April 2010 when I had just had 3 WTF jobs in a row pretty much within a year, and wanted to shift the focus to the 3.5 years or so before but every interviewer seemed determined to talk about my most recent jobs.
I failed to get any of the jobs at that time which was a very trying time for me.
Steve handled his interview well, attributing the positive to every job. I learnt to do that. I did highlight the 3rd of the WTF jobs on the work I had done on switching the Windows build from static to using DLLs which essentially cut down the link time enormously so you didn't have to wait 30-45 minutes every time you made a 1-line change. This had an impact on improving the "performance" of every developer in the team who was otherwise wasting time waiting for changes to build.
It may have been a tiresome task to do, and maybe not exactly what I wanted to be working on doing there, but it was 1. An idea I had come up with myself (pro-active) and 2. Had a very positive impact.
Subsequent to changing my own personal attitude towards this job, my success rate went up enormously.
It is very important to have a good attitude towards doing work which is good for the business but not what you particulary enjoy doing. You are there for the benefit of the business, not to seek your own interests.
The MD would have known that and may well have been asking these questions for exactly these reasons.
höhö,... that's why you have to put "inventorying network switches" on your CV's in Britain? - what a N(ice)RWTF!
My CV is 3 to 4 pages (as time goes on, it grows).
The first page contains a summary of pertinent information. The bottom of it through the third page is a detail of each related job I have had (I leave off less relevant tasks), what I did there, what my responsibilities were and what I achieved.
Then, the final page contains "ancillary" information. Such as professional groups I belong to open source projects I participate in, certs, talks that I've done, etc. Stuff that's icing on the cake, but isn't the meat of what I'm trying to get across...
It seems to me that the MD had spent the first half of the interview looking at the back-side of the resume, where Steven had rightly listed all the crap jobs he'd had in order to fill it out to the full two pages. He then flipped it over and saw all the things Steven had listed first.
It was later that he found out that "MD" actually stood for "Manic Depressive".
The end.

Turn the page!
The real WTF is that without the comments most people (myself included) don't get the story.
So the twf is that the interviewer wanted to see how he would deal with an angry person?
I've done the whole "list only relevant jobs" thing, only to be asked if I was in jail/psychiatric treatment/unemployed in those "missing years". Now it lists every single meaningless job, simply as employer/function/period one-liners.
TRWTF is not knowing the difference between "led" and "lead"?
But what we all want to know is, is it really bigger on the inside?
Re: The Angry MD
2012-10-18 09:04 • by TheSHEEEP (unregistered)
Yes, be a good working slave and do whatever is best for your company. Oh. My. God.
With too many people with that attitude, we will soon all get minimum wages
What nonsense! You can pretend stuff like that, to crawl up the bosses a**es, but when I work for a company, I have a look at what I can gain of it. Do I learn something new? Can I improve my skills/knowledge in an area? Is it probably just incredible fun to work with the people? Is the payment good for the kind of work I do?
Obviously, when doing the actual work, one should focus on doing what is objectively the best thing to do, not on what is most fun to do. But that's a matter of professionalism. If you do what you are paid for as good as you can, then that is all a company can ever expect from you. Anything more you should do out of interest/fun or with a certain (monetary?) goal in mind.
Do not sell yourself under value, if you don't absolutely need THAT job to survive.
I'm struggling to keep my CV down to two pages. The early jobs are now just Company/Job Title/Dates. The more recent a job is, the more detail it gets. Most recent comes first on Page 1. Page 2 becomes dusty history.
I was once shown a 10-page CV. Page one proudly listed his mobile number (when mobiles were rare) and his BMW 320i. On about page 7 we discovered that he was married with two children. How we laughed!

"Yes, all of that in the exact order!"
I'm in the Netherlands.
Generally I think it's good to have a CV that's not too long - recruiters aren't going to wade through a 10-page long CV.
The CV that I usually use is 3 pages; it contains my profile, a list of skills and descriptions of projects I've worked on in the past 5 years. But a while ago a recruiter commented that he thought my CV was too short.
I've seen lots of 5-8 page resumes, pretty much always from relatives of "Nagesh" if you get my meaning. Very rarely do I encounter a proper 1 page resume, though when I do it's never from a "Nagesh".
The 1 page resume candidates perform a few orders of magnitude better at their interview than the 5-8 page candidates.
Re: The Angry MD
2012-10-18 09:37 • by Still Water (unregistered)
Yes - please, more people take note of this. Wading through 11 pages of CV detailing every single piece of software that you have ever seen does not make me want to interview you - if you are an expert in 15 different DBMS, 13 programming languages, and 257 different applications, then you are applying for the wrong job...
And no pictures. Thanks.
Sounds like steve might want to put his most relevant work experience near the top of his resume so interviewers see that first instead of having to turn to the second page.
The Real WTF is not putting your work history in reverse chronological order so that the most recent / most relevant stuff is at the top, where the interviewer will see it immediately.
What's a "CV"? I've heard of a resume, but not a "CV". Is that a British thing?
And you don't need THAT job. There's another one out there. It's not worth going to a place you hate every day.
You know, if some of your past jobs have no relevance to the kind of work youre looking for, you CAN leave them off your resume. My resume mentions nothing about my first job at Wendy's, or various construction labor gigs, or even five years of delivering pizza.
In the US, we just call it a resume. They don't ge to 2 pages unless you have soemthing like 10+ years of experience. At that point it starts to be come more expected.
Truth is, resumes are not that valuable. Talking to someone is.
Exactly. Resumes have one goal: Get you in to speak with someone. Writing a resume to try and portray the unique snowflake that is "you" with each of your prized bowel movements is a complete waste of time for everyone.
Curriculum Vitae. Latin.
I've recently had to start looking for a job, something I haven't done in 7 years (I've been working in software development for something like 35 years). I truncated my resume at 2 pages and 3 jobs/17 years back. I could have gone on but I don't see than my experience on old iron and obsolete operating systems would apply - unless they were asking about that explicitly. At that point I'd deny any knowledge of those old POS systems.
there's a bad VB joke in there somewhere..
Error on resume? Next!
In contrast to resume which is French.

From you're name, I'm guessing you're female. The interviewer was probably trying to determine whether you made your income from stripping and/or pornography...and it might not have been detrimental to you getting a job.
Re: The Angry MD
2012-10-18 10:35 • by JJ Irwin (unregistered)
Last I was out looking I was told that for technical positions, especially in fields where consulting is the norm, they're looking for a small novel, otherwise they don't think you've got range of experience.
I'd been working at the same place for god-knows-how-many-years so I was at a distinct disadvantage until I stumbled on a position doing exactly what I'd been doing before.
I don't get it, what was on the back of the resume to make him change his attitude?
Obviously, Nagesh is being much bettar employee having so manies short-term jobs. Employer only maintein employee that is being substanderd.
Hahaha, thanks Arkady for helping me make sense of this story.

I was told that multipage resume's get pitched when I was in college. Of course back then I had no experience and had to stretch it to fill a page.
I rarely ever see a resume that is less than 2 full pages when interviewing people with at least a few years of experience. I think people do not want to remove irrelevant entries since it looks like they have a huge gap in their work experience if they skip over stuff.
However you don't need to go into exhaustive detail about a job you only worked a few months at, or did nothing related to the position you are trying to take.
Re: The Angry MD
2012-10-18 11:10 • by CodeMonKey (unregistered)
It wasn't blank, for sure. Lessons learned: Print the cv/resume simplex, not duplex.
Yes, I was in jail and now I have good "connections" so if I am not offered the role, you may wake up with a severed horse's head in your bed.
I would never print a resume double-sided for exactly this reason. Single sided, with a staple (or not, depending on any specific instructions provided by the employer).

Harvest Corn Cakes Recipe
Sweet corn takes on a whole new meaning with Mary's ripe recipe. Her corncobs look delightfully like the real thing—except they're made of cake, frosting and peanut butter candies! "These treats really brighten up the Thanksgiving table," comments Mary. "And they're so easy to make. Children can help with this project, too. They'll have fun putting the 'kernels' on—and eating a few as well!"—Mary Detweiler, Middlefield, Ohio
- 1 package (9 ounces) yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
- 1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
- 2 packages (16 ounces each) Reese's pieces
- Dried corn husks
- Prepare cake batter according to package directions; add nuts. Grease and flour a 9-in. round baking pan; add batter and bake as directed. Cool for 10 minutes.
- Remove cake from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Freeze the cake for easier cutting. Cut the cake into ears of corn using the pattern found here. Set aside the remaining cake for another use.
- Place cakes on a serving platter or covered board. Frost tops and sides with 1-1/2 cups frosting. Decorate tops, sides and bottom ends of each ear with Reese's pieces. Cut corn husks into 8- to 12-in. lengths. Attach to cakes using additional frosting. Gently pull the husks together in the middle and tie with twine. Yield: 8 servings.
Crafterthoughts Don't have Reese's Pieces candies on hand? Try decorating the cakes with M&M's or candy corn instead. To make individual treats for guests, simply form "mini" corncobs by cutting smaller pieces of cake and paper twist. Finished size: Not including paper twist pieces, the middle cake shown in the photo measures about 8 inches long x 3 inches wide, and each side cake measures about 6 inches long x 2-1/2 inches wide.

In what way is Hank different from the nobles? What way is he the same? Thanks
2 Answers | Add Yours
Hank, like the nobles, is very confident and sure of himself. He exudes an air of power and has quite the ego. The nobles in the story, such as King Arthur, also share these qualities of confidence and self-assurance. However, Hank is different in that, for one, he has time traveled to King Arthur's court, and therefore he has knowledge of advanced technology and updated ways of conducting politics and government.
Refer to: http://www.enotes.com/connecticut-yankee/characters
The most salient difference between Hank and the nobles is that Hank is from a more advanced society and has a knowledge of technology that is unknown to anyone else. Ironically, his knowledge of the modern equipment gives Hank the same attitude of superiority that the nobles share. Thus, his one difference are also his similarity to the nobles.

Navigating Through Life
- Friday, September 21, 2007
I'm saying this as much to myself as anyone else. I can't tell you how many times over the past 22 years I've caught myself in the act of mopping up after one of my children (sometimes literally), only to realize that once again, I have paved the way for them to skip blithely past an opportunity to learn that actions result in consequences.
The unfortunate truth is that helping our kids experience the consequences of their decisions is definitely more work and discomfort for us as parents. It's a whole lot easier, physically and emotionally, to fix mistakes and make decisions ourselves than to give the time and effort it takes to mentor our children in those realms.
Reaping the consequences of a poor choice is tough. It's the kind of discipline that's painful at the time but will reap a harvest of righteousness in those that are trained by it. However, we don't have to make it any worse than it is. I'm talking about the universal response when someone is reaping what they've sowed. The I-told-you-so.
"See? If you'd just done what I told you to . . ." or "Next time maybe you won't leave your boots out in the rain," etc. I suppose we're trying to make sure they get the message. Could be we're wanting to communicate that it's not our fault, so don't be mad at us. However, these responses rarely accomplish much. Instead, they can end up making us look like the enemy because we seem more interested in driving a point home than caring about what our child is going through. The child ends up feeling unloved, alone, and misunderstood in their suffering.
When your children are feeling the pain of a poor decision, think Golden Rule. Don't say, "I told you so," or "What lesson have you learned here?" Instead, empathize—"Yeah, I hate hauling wood in the dark too. Do you want to take a flashlight along?" Recount an instance when you had to bear the consequence of a similar action (resisting the urge to one-up them). Then give them a smile and a hug, and go on about your business. Resist the compulsion to tell them the lesson they're learning. Just let them bear the burden of their own choice, secure in the knowledge that your love toward them has not changed, and that apparently you think they are mature enough to handle the consequences without holding your hand. It will have much more power to communicate reality than an I-told-you-so.
I don't think I need to point out that parenting is not the easiest job available. But at the same time, what other calling carries with it such great potential, such great influence? The next time you're tempted to short-circuit the law of sowing and reaping, or you see yourself making all the decisions or trying to control your teenager's every move, take a deep breath and remind yourself of the bigger picture. God has given us a high calling indeed: to help our children take their place in the world as confident, responsible, caring, spiritually alive individuals. With His help, we can carry out this trust with intention, compassion, and wisdom.
Leslie Wyatt and her husband Dave have been married 24 years and have six children whom they have homeschooled for 18 years. Leslie is a freelance writer for children and adults, and her work includes an historical fiction novel for middle graders, Poor Is Just a Starting Place. At home in rural Missouri, the Wyatt family lives in an 1883 farmhouse steeped in history and a never-ending supply of work to be done. Music plays a prominent part of their lives (no pun intended!) and Leslie also enjoys flower gardening, sewing, smocking, and camping.

School Vouchers Italian Style
AbstractSchool vouchers introduced recently in some Italian regions have lowered the cost of private schools. On the one hand, we provide evidence that Italian private schools may be selected for different reasons other than quality considerations. On the other hand, by exploiting individual data on voucher applicants, we present evidence that the percentage of voucher applicants is higher, the higher the average quality of private schools. We explain this with the fact that better quality schools provide better services to students, including information and consulting on vouchers. We show that enrolment in private schools responds sluggishly to changes in tuition induced by vouchers. Under stringent assumptions, we estimate the slopes of supply and demand of private education in the largest Italian region, Lombardy, during the first two years since implementation of a voucher scheme, and provide a quantitative assessment of the long-term impact of vouchers on tuition fees and enrolment in private schools.

You are here
- 2 cups diced seedless red or yellow watermelon*
- 1 cup diced tomatoes, seeds removed
- Vanilla Vinaigrette (see recipe below)
- Pinch salt
- 3 cups baby arugula
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
For the Vanilla Vinaigrette:
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 1 tsp. minced shallot
- 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbs. rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 Tbs. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Put the watermelon and tomatoes in a bowl and gently dress with the Vanilla Vinaigrette. Add salt. Line a bowl with a bed of the arugula and place the watermelon-tomato mixture on top. Sprinkle on the feta cheese and serve.
*Chef's Note: To dice watermelon, cut the melon in half horizontally. Place the halves, cut side down, on a cutting board. Follow the contour of the melon and carefully cut the peel away with a downward motion. You can now begin to dice the melon, by cutting planks, then cutting the planks into logs, then cut across the logs to get nice square pieces, or dice.
Split the vanilla bean and scrape the inside with the back of a knife, scraping the seeds into a small bowl. Add the shallot, lemon juice, vinegar, and mustard and whisk until well-combined. Continue whisking and drizzle in the oil until dressing is slightly thick and emulsified. Set aside until ready to use. Whisk again if separates before using. (You may have more vinaigrette than needed.)

Britain on Film, Series 2 Episode 1 of 10
Duration: 30 minutes
In 1959 Britain's biggest cinema company, the Rank Organisation, decided to replace its newsreels with a series of short, quirky, topical documentaries that examined all aspects of life in Britain. During the 1960s - a decade that witnessed profound shifts across Britain's political, economic and cultural landscapes - many felt anxiety about the dizzying pace of change.
Look at Life reflected the increasing social and moral unease in films that tackled subjects ranging from contraception to immigration, from increasing stress at work to the preservation of the Sabbath, and from the environmental implications of waste management to the threat of nuclear weapons. Through these films, we can glimpse many of the seismic societal transformations of the Sixties developments that polarised the nation and changed life in Britain forever.

If Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie sticks to his mantra "the film doesn't lie," the next star on the silver and black screen could be Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd.
Find a mock draft anywhere on the Internet, and chances are good it has Floyd going to the Raiders with the third overall pick in the NFL draft Thursday night.
Four mock drafts on NFL.com by analysts Charley Casserly, Matt Smith, Charles Davis and Daniel Jeremiah have Floyd going to the Raiders. So do Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN and Don Banks of SI.com.
Given the departures of Richard Seymour, Tommy Kelly and Desmond Bryant, Floyd qualifies as a step-in-and-start player, with free-agent arrivals Vance Walker and Pat Sims in the rotation if the Raiders keep the third pick rather than trade down for additional selections.
McKenzie was in attendance when Floyd clocked times of 4.93 and 4.87 seconds over 40 yards at his pro day in Gainesville, Fla., on March 22. More importantly, the 6-foot-3, 297-pound Floyd's explosive speed and power are evident against Southeastern Conference competition.
NFL Films analyst Greg Cosell said he thinks Floyd is worthy of the top pick, although the Kansas City Chiefs are expected to select a left tackle such as Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel or Central Michigan's Eric Fisher.
"He's my favorite player that I've seen on tape," Cosell said. "He's an explosive athlete playing defensive tackle. He has really light feet. He's so gifted physically that he can play anywhere on the line, and I think he will become, like (the Houston Texans') J.J. Watt, a much better pass rusher in the NFL than he was in college football."
Mike Mayock, analyst for the NFL Network, has Floyd as the No. 2 player in the nation behind Fisher.
"His ability to get up the field and disrupt the pass game is unique for a defensive tackle, and if you can get a defensive tackle that can affect the pass game, you've got something special," Mayock said. "And he's stout enough to play the run."
In terms of McKenzie's preference for character and intangibles, Floyd is off the charts, having persevered through a difficult childhood in Philadelphia. He left as the nation's top-rated high school defensive tackle.
Entering Floyd's junior season, Florida coach Will Muschamp, knowing of Floyd's desire to give his grandmother a better life, took the pressure off in terms of making a decision to go pro.
"Coach Muschamp said, 'If you're going in the first round this year, I'm kicking you out,' " Floyd told reporters at the NFL combine. "I didn't have to worry about what I was going to do after this season, and it allowed me to focus on my team. After the Sugar Bowl, he shook my hand and said, 'Congratulations. Now go make your name known in the league.' "
Other possibilities for the Raiders at No. 3:
Joeckel, 6-6, 306: Most mock drafts that have Floyd going to the Raiders have Joeckel at No. 1 to the Chiefs.
Fisher, 6-7, 306: Scouts liken him to standout 49ers tackle Joe Staley.
Dion Jordan, LB, Oregon, 6-6, 248: An edge rusher similar to the 49ers' Aldon Smith or the Denver Broncos' Von Miller.
Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah, 6-2, 311: Difficult to move whether playing on the nose or in a 4-3 defense.
Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma, 6-6, 303: Freakish athlete is a former quarterback with a huge upside.
Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU, 6-5, 271: Has the most size and pass rushing skill of base ends available.
Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama, 6-0, 201: Long-armed cover cornerback with a taste for contact.
Chance Warmack,, G, Alabama, 6-2, 317: Probably too high for a guard unless he's the best player on a team's board.

To follow in your footsteps, a woman would have to: First work in a field that she truly loves whether it be hair, make-up or skincare. She would have to believe in it and grow with it. She would have to start from scratch, working through the good and the bad, staying focused the entire time.
Famous woman you would like to style: Beyonce. She keeps in close contact with her Texas roots, often sporting a head full of large golden, gorgeous curls. At the moment, she has a golden brown color with highlights in the front and lowlights in the back. I would love to style her hair and bring her curls to fabulous new heights.
Next change to my personal style: I have no plans to make any changes to my personal style or look. I love my classic curl, the length of my hair and the style. I feel comfortable with who I am.
Reading: I have always been a fan of author (and curly client) Jodi Picoult. I'm reading her new book, Sing You Home. Also been reading Enchantment by Guy Kawasaki.
Playlist: International music, classical music and jazz. Beyonce's Girl's Run the World is a fabulous song to inspire women everywhere!
Important client experience: When my husband and I first opened our salon in NYC, we stood outside and passed out flyers. An executive at Hearst was walking by and smiled as she received our flyer. She later returned back to our salon and received a signature Ouidad cut and style. She was obsessed with her new cut and felt as though she was "reinvented at the age of 45." She has been a client ever since that day. During the years, she was instrumental in our business, offering guidance and marketing ideas. She believed in our company and helped guide us in decisions that served as powerful tools to help grow our business. I will always remember the first day she visited my salon and I will always be thankful for the impact she has made on the Ouidad brand.

Editor's Note: The following is a report on the practical applications of Nicole Braddock Bromley's book, Breathe: The Freedom to Thrive in Relationships After Childhood Sexual Abuse, (Moody Publishers, 2009).
Childhood sexual abuse is a sin that's often kept secret, but it affects many Americans. Recent statistics show that one out of every three women and one out of every six men in the United States has experienced some form of sexual abuse. If you're one of them, you know that the aftermath of abuse can make it difficult to develop healthy relationships in your life now. But it is possible to enjoy the kinds of relationships God wants for you.
Here's how you can build healthy relationships after childhood sexual abuse:
Pursue healing. Follow God's leading through the healing process, relying on His strength to help you every step of the way. Share your secret with someone you trust. Realize that the abuse wasn't your fault, so you shouldn't feel guilt or shame about it. Forgive the person who abused you to free yourself from bitterness that will poison your soul otherwise. Take advantage of opportunities to use your story to comfort other hurting people around you.
Create a circle of inspiration around yourself. A circle of inspiration is a network of caring people who are willing to be present, listen to you, love you, and support you. It's a safe space where you can let go of isolation, a false identity, and addictions that prevent you from continuing to heal. You can choose anyone you'd like to participate, such as friends, your spouse if you're married, mentors, siblings, and adult children if you have any.
Talk it out. Get real with the people in your circle, telling them the truth about what you've been through. Release what you've been bottling up inside by talking about it openly with others who care. Let people listen, encourage you, and pray for you.
Embrace the love that Jesus offers you. Childhood sexual abuse survivors too often believe that they're bad people because of what they've experienced, even though it wasn't their fault. But remember that Jesus doesn't view you that way. Ask Him to give you His perspective on you and your life, so you can see that your past doesn't diminish any of His great love for you. Realize that Jesus meets you where you are and calls you to enjoy a close, growing relationship with Him. Don't hesitate to accept the love He offers you.
Overcome addictions. Sometimes, to cope with their pain, childhood sexual abuse survivors fall into addictions: unhealthy sexual relationships, drug or alcohol use, eating disorders, or self-injury habits (such as cutting, burning, or beating themselves). If you're caught in an addiction of some kind, recognize how much valuable time and energy you're wasting on it. Pray for the strength to stop, and get practical help through a counselor or support group.
Deal wisely with your family's response to your abuse. If your family members acknowledge the reality of the abuse you've suffered and want to help you heal, thank God for them and accept their love and help. But, sadly, many families of childhood sexual abuse victims aren't willing to admit or talk about the problem. If your family is one of those, know that your heavenly Father - God - won't minimize your suffering. Express yourself fully to Him, and trust Him to help you and bring other people into your life who can support you.
Break the generational curse. If you have children of your own, be sure to talk with them about sexual abuse so they'll be informed and prepared in case they ever encounter abuse themselves. Pray for the wisdom to know what to share about your own experiences with them in age-appropriate ways. But don't neglect discussing this important topic with them. If your parents hurt you - either through abusing you or by failing to stop the abuse after you told them about it - be willing to answer God's call to forgive them, with His help.

Camps for Kids
An Age-by-Age Guide
"Meatballs," Anyone?
"The camp experience enriches lives and changes the world," according to the American Camping Association(ACA). Fostering a sense of caring community, offering educational and social development, and simply providing a safe and fun place for children to enjoy, are just a few things that summer camps offer. There are literally thousands of summer camp options available to children each year. From day camps to summer long adventures overseas, camps offer a wide variety of choices, benefits, and costs. Learning about your options, "as well as your child's personality" according to the ACA, is the key to identifying the right camp program for your child.
