I've been lurking around this site for a couple of months, trying out the recipes and watching the cute videos. ^_^
Thank you so much, Maangchi, for making Korean food so accessable!
Luckily in central NC there are several Korean grocery stores, so I have had a fairly easy time gathering ingredients. (If anyone in central NC needs the addresses, just ask! ^_^)
I love cooking asian food, and I find Korean food in particular to be more intuitive than other kinds, but that might just be a personal preference! (I wonder if there is a world cuisine that comes most naturally to different people?)
Other than cooking, I love drawing, writing, and rearranging my furniture. XP I live with my wonderful fiance and also my best friend from university. They are my test subjects, and they've survived so far!
Its so nice meeting everyone, please take care of me!

Household impacts of typhoons in the Philippines

Jesse Anttila-Hughes
and I have just finished this new working paper:
Destruction, Disinvestment, and Death: Economic and Human Losses Following Environmental Disaster
The direct physical damage caused by environmental
disasters is straightforward to document and often the focus of media and government attention, but addressing disasters' indirect effects remains difficult because they are challenging to observe. We exploit annual variation in the incidence of typhoons (West-Pacific hurricanes) to identify the effect of environmental disaster on economic and health outcomes in Filipino households. We find that the Philippines' typhoon climate causes large losses to households' economic well being, destroying durable assets and depressing incomes in the wake of storms. Household income losses translate directly into expenditure reductions, which are achieved in part through disinvestments in health and human capital. Examining infant mortality rates, we observe substantially increased female infant mortality in the years following storm exposure. Striking similarities in the structure of these mortality and economic responses, along multiple dimensions, implicates the deterioration of economic conditions and subsequent disinvestments as the cause of mortality among female infants. Bolstering this hypothesis, we find that mortality is highest in households where infant daughters face the greatest competition with other children for resources, particularly older brothers. We estimate that these delayed deaths among female infants outnumber officially reported typhoon deaths in the general populace by a factor of fifteen.
Global Evidence of Adaptation to Tropical Cyclones

This paper with
Daiju Narita
on global patterns of adaptation to cyclones is forthcoming in a special issue of
Climate Change Economics
dedicated to climate change adaptation.
Adaptation to Cyclone Risk: Evidence from the Global Cross-Section
Understanding the feasibility and cost of adaptation is essential to management of the global climate. Unfortunately, we lack general estimates of adaptive responses to almost all climatological processes. To address this for one phenomenon, we estimate the extent of adaptation to tropical cyclones (TCs) using the global cross-section of countries. We reconstruct every TC observed during 1950- 2008 to parameterize countries' TC climate and year-to-year TC exposure. We then look for evidence of adaptation by comparing deaths and damages from physically similar TC events across countries with different TC climatologies. We find that countries with more intense TC climates suffer lower marginal losses from an actual TC event, indicating that adaptation to this climatological risk occurs but it is costly. Overall, there is strong evidence that it is both feasible and cost-effective for countries with intense TC climatologies to invest heavily in adaptation. However, marginal changes from countries' current TC climates generate persistent losses, of which only ~3% is "adapted away" in the long run.

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.

The Program on History, Memory, and Conflict engages in research, education, and practice concerning production and reproduction of history and memory in conflicts and post -conflict societies. The Program defines the history education as a broad concept that includes school education (textbook and instruction), memorials, museums, and archeological sites, popular culture, internet, and mass media. The program includes a lecture series, conferences, seminars, and other related events. The lecture series features speakers from GMU, the Washington area, the broader US, and other countries.
The aim of the Program is to analyze the main mechanisms, stakeholders, and media through which history education is created, disseminated and impacts society and to identify possible models and develop programs for conflict resolution, democracy building, and restoration of justice.
Practice Goals:
There are four primary goals:
· To facilitate dialogue between stakeholders on addressing memory of violence, trauma, and history of conflict beyond school classrooms.
· To assist post-conflict reconstruction and reintegration programs by developing history education reform models.
· To assist governments and ministries of education in their efforts to successfully reform history education.
· To facilitate production of common and inclusive history textbooks, new curricula, teaching materials and train history teachers in the framework of peace education.
Why History Education?
History education plays a significant role in fostering loyalty to those in power, supporting the legitimacy of ruling parties and their specific ethno-political as well as economical order, and articulating their worldviews and positions. Contested history narratives transmit to new generations established conceptions of power and society, as well as official knowledge about the past and present of a society. Historic narratives that are maintained, revived, and promoted by politicians, national historians, textbooks, and school curricula affect the perceptions and attitudes of ethnic or religious group members. It is especially true for societies involved in ongoing conflict or going through post-conflict reconstruction and democracy building. In many societies recovering from violent conflict, where the past involves memories of victimization, mass killing, and devastation among the majority of population, political leaders and stakeholders promote social amnesia as a way for the social stability. Transitional justice processes, such as the establishment of truth commissions and legal tribunals are not presented in history textbook: instead they still represent nationalistic, ethnocentric and xenophobic attitudes. Re-establishment of security, constitutional reform, elections, transformation of judicial and political institutions depends on the comprehensive reforms in history education. There is an urgent need for the development of the models of history education reform in conflict and post-conflict societies that compliments other reconstruction and reintegration efforts. Despite growing recognition and interest to the issue, the systemic approach to the history education in conflict and post-conflict societies is still to be formulated.

The Program on History, Memory, and Conflict Lecture Series:
Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 7:30pm Professor Andreas Umland of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy will be speaking on "Why the Fascists Won't Take Over the Kremlin (for now): A Comparison of Democracy's Breakdown and Fascism's Rise in Weimar Germany and Post-Soviet Russia." This event will be facilitated by Karina Korostelina of S-CAR and will take place in the Arlington Campus Truland Building in room 555.
Monday, November 28, 2011 at 12pm Professor Maria Repoussi and Karina Korostelina of S-CAR will present, "Revising History Textbooks in Conflict and Divided Societies: Cases of Greece and the Ukraine." This event will take place in the Arlington Campus Truland Building in room 555.
- Three working group's seminars on politicization of history education in 2008-2010 (supported by the Point of View Foundation at GMU and USIP). The working group includes 15 professors from U.S. and European Universities and institutions, namely s-CAR, USIP, Facing History, Middle East Institute, American University, University of Denver, George Washington University, Purdue University, New York University, University of Maryland, and the Georg Eckert Institute for international textbook research. The group convened at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution and USIP for three seminars in December 2008, May 2009, and February 2010. These seminars have resulted in the development of several models for dealing with contested history education in different types of conflict, post-conflict and divided societies. Each model includes four components: (a) identification of problems with contested history education, (b) goals of intervention, (c) mechanisms for intervention, and (d) practical recommendations on points of entry and possible projects. These models serve as a basis for continuing dialogue among scholars and practitioners from the U.S. and Europe.

Activists call for abortion restrictions
More than 150 anti-abortion activists rallied at Capitol Square on Thursday to urge Gov. Bob McDonnell to support abortion clinic regulations and other "pro-life" bills.
At the rally at the Bell Tower, Delegate Bob Marshall, R-Manassas, discussed House Bill 1440, which states that "the life of each human being begins at conception" and that "unborn children have protectable interests in life, health, and well-being."
"This is recognition that that is a person," Marshall said.
He said his bill's goal is to reverse the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision, which gives women the right to have an abortion.
"If we can affirm this principle in one area … [we] can affirm it elsewhere," Marshall said.
Rita Dunaway of Valley Family Forum, a "traditional values" group in the Shenandoah Valley, said that because the Supreme Court will not recognize an unborn child as a person, states must do so.
"By recognizing the rights of the unborn child, the states can create a counterweight to the mother's rights," Dunaway said.
Alveda King, director of African-American outreach for a group called Priests for Life, urged Virginians to support regulating abortion clinics. King said that if Virginia's 21 clinics were regulated, about 17 would be closed.
Currently, abortion clinics are regulated the same way as offices where patients receive oral or plastic surgery. Abortion opponents want the state to force the facilities to meet hospital-like standards.
That's the intent of House Bill 1428, sponsored by Delegate Richard Bell, R-Staunton. It would require "all abortion clinics, defined as any facility other than a hospital or an ambulatory surgery center in which 25 or more first-trimester abortions are performed in any 12-month period, to be licensed and regulated by the Board of Health."
On Wednesday, HB 1428 was assigned to a subcommittee of the House Committee on Health, Welfare and Institutions.
Courtney Jones, manager of grassroots organizing for the Virginia League for Planned Parenthood, said the cost of meeting the hospital standards would be prohibitive. As a result, she said, many clinics would have to shut down – but not because they are unsafe.
Jones said all of Planned Parenthood's abortion facilities already are clean and sterile. Last year, all members of the General Assembly – including Marshall – were invited to visit the Virginia clinics and see for themselves, Jones said. She said Marshall declined.
However, John Seeds, a doctor with 40 years' experience in obstetrics and gynecology, questioned the safety of Virginia abortion clinics.
He said Virginia should follow the example of Arizona and South Carolina and enforce safety standards for abortion facilities, such as sanitation and cleanliness.
"The women of the commonwealth expect, assume that the basic safety standards are met when they walk into a clinic for surgical procedures like abortion," Seeds said. "But in Virginia, when they walk into an abortion clinic, they cannot assume they are safe."
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has given McDonnell the thumbs-up to sign HB 1428 into law if the General Assembly passes the bill.
"It is my opinion that the commonwealth has the authority to promulgate regulations for facilities in which first-trimester abortions are performed as well as for providers of first-trimester abortions, so long as the regulations adhere to constitutional limitations," Cuccinelli stated.

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

Some churches give away televisions or vacations. Others sell homemade pies and quilts. And some raffle off semiautomatic rifles.
Ignite Church went with the last option.
On Father's Day, June 15, the church at 710 S. Maiden Lane gave area fathers an opportunity to put their names in a hat to win one of two AR-15 rifles. Each father entering in the free raffle could submit a ticket for himself and was able to obtain tickets for each of his children who went to church with him. He also could get another ticket for bringing his own dad.
"We thought instead of a lot of small things, we'd give away stuff the guys were interested in," said Heath Mooneyham, Ignite's lead pastor. In a YouTube video shared on the church's Facebook page, he called one of the rifles, made by Black Rain Ordnance in Neosho, the "Lamborghini of guns."
The give away was part of an outreach by Ignite Church to a specific demographic group: males age 18 to 35.
"That's the biggest black hole in our society," Mooneyham said.

Being Comfortable in your Own Skin
Wouldn't we all love to be comfortable in our own skin?
Apart from the self-esteem and emotional maturity that would be required for us to arrive at such a contented state, it would be nice to have nice smooth skin to cozy up in. Of course that would be such a superficial kind of comfort, but imagine the confidence that waking up in lovely dewy skin would bring. We'd be ready to face the world without the mask of makeup that we apply to disguise the parts of ourselves that are not young and beautiful.
Make up can be considered partly magic and partly deception, an illusion of beauty within a reality that is not quite beautiful. And make no mistake, there is indeed deception involved. Don't we feel like we've been had when we see all those photos of celebrities without make up, without the multiple spells that Photoshop has cast? Don't we feel betrayed when we see a beauty icon unmasked? And don't we envy those celebrities featured in those beautiful-without-makeup type articles in People magazine?
We wouldn't even mention the teens and twenty-somethings like Kendall Jenner and Miley Cyrus – of course their complexions are still smooth and plump and wrinkle-free. But those practically flawless thirty-somethings like Claire Danes or Kate Winslet, or those forty- and fifty-somethings such as Amy Poehler, Jennifer Aniston, or Julia Louis-Dreyfuss who own their skin and look fabulous doing it – these gals deserve our props.
How do we get to a point where we can go out barefaced? How do we maintain our skin for decades to come? First thing that we ought to get a handle on would be the obvious problems that we have. Dryness? Fine lines? Acne? Discolorations or pigmentations? We best get our asses to the dermatologist for some solutions.
As for maintenance, most dermatologists recommend 3 things:
1. Hydration. Getting those eight glasses of H2O down your throat could be the step that takes your skin from so-so to fabulous. Water comes out as sweat and flushes out those toxins and impurities from your cells.
2. Sun protection. Those UV rays are the enemy, causing pigmentations and premature wrinkles. Photoaging is avoidable with the simple application of sunblock every single day. Go for a minimum of SPF 30.
3. Basic cleansing, toning, moisturizing. It is important to find a skin regimen that is suited for our age and skin type, and stick to it. Just as important as the quality and efficacy of our skin care products is our fastidiousness and consistency in sticking to it, no matter what.
If you live in Baton Rouge, you may book a consult with Z Dermatology.

This is a really good question that has had me thinking for a while now. In wrapping the 3 questions into 1; these are my current four personal goals I'd like to accomplish in life.
1. Work hard and with love. My parents are the kinds of people who will work 10-12 hour weekdays and then spend weekends volunteering at homeless shelters. They're not judgmental, and don't expect me to do the same, but in admiring how much love and strength they put into life, they inspire me to want to live my life with that much love and strength too.
2. Be open in letting people know what I appreciate about them and being perceptive. There are so many amazing people and things in this world that inspire me. I'd like to be more brave in letting people know what's so fantastic about them, whether it's family, friends, or strangers on the street. In short: defy the greater context of The Beatles' lyric "You've got to hide your love away". I also want to be more perceptive and consistent when it comes to people needing help. Though I was the only one to stop and help a woman who crashed her car into a freezing canal a few years back, I recently failed to call the police when a girl was yelling from being beaten up about 40 feet from my window. It sounded like roller-coaster screams, so I thought it might be the sound of someone getting a drunk piggy-back ride from the party-house next door. (NOTE: Please scream "HELP" if you're ever in an emergency so as not to leave people guessing). Anyways, I was, and am still, furious with myself for letting that extra time pass until someone else called the police. I don't care if I'm accused of being nosy in the future, I don't want to let it happen again.
3. If it happens: First, intentionally and consistently work at being a great husband, and second, intentionally and consistently work at being a great father. I'm up for rolling with whatever life throws at me; single, married, kids, no kids, et cetera, but I do think being a husband and father are roles that are very important. There's a quote that's something like, "We spend our entire adult lives trying to recover from our childhoods." For this reason, I think it's very important to be the best parent one can be. We only get one childhood. However, kids live with you for about 18 years or so and will likely then have families of their own, so I think being a great companion is even more important. Ideally, one's spouse is that person one wakes up to each morning and falls asleep with each night; one's best friend and teammate. If you get that right, you've got a truly great thing going.
4. Save enough money for new knees. My knees are currently alright, but I took it hard on them from skateboarding so much in my early teen years. No doubt, 50 years down the road will leave me with creaky legs. Thankfully, there are clinical trials going on where physicians use stem cells to regrow people's knee caps and surrounding tissues. I want 'em! I know it's an odd goal, but I think it will make the difference between me being a 75 year old in pain all the time or a 75 year old who enjoys snorkeling and moon-walking.
Can't see any reason why not :) In a sense, it would almost be a necessity for that person to love my music. I don't think I could fall in love with someone who viewed all the heart, time, and resources I put into my music as a waste.
Hey there! I am, as of just very recently.
Hello :) About 5 years ago I measured at 5'9" (1.75 m). I guess I should check to see where I'm currently at. I don't feel like I've grown or shrunk since then though.
Thanks! Haha, of course. Here we go: I…
If you're Annie Clark, I would find it very hard to say anything other than yes. If you're Jareth (aka David Bowie in The Labyrinth) then it's a no-way, buddy. Based on the infinite possibilities of who this might be, I think it's safe to say: Maybe?
Yep; plus my arm looks like Harry Potter!

Here's a mix that examines the work of pop songwriter Adam Schlesinger. He's the man behind such songs as That Thing You Do, Stacy's Mom, and a ton of other feel-good tunes you might have heard.
Thank you to everyone for the feedback on the white shirt post! So the word on the street is: White shirts are classic, look great when fitted and on a fit bod, and the V-neck/no pocket look takes it up a notch. Nice.
There's a drunk bear-man playing guitar and singing his heart out to Lynyrd Skynyrd and countryfied Jimmy Eat World songs on the porch a few houses down. It's pretty great.
Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica is tops for me, and a close second is specifically Tranquility Bay in Ambergris Key, Belize. These places messed with my head with their beauty though.
I don't have any ink at the moment, just a lot of scars. Although I've seen a lot of tattoo work that I love, I've never had a strong urge to get any work done on myself. I'm definitely open to the possibility; just can't say if I'll ever get the spark though :)
I've been reading a lot of westerns recently. Louis L'Amour for happy endings and Cormac McCarthy for depressing ones. I also like to read biographies about saints. Still quite malleable when it comes to preferences in literature though :)
Current favorite place to visit in the United States? New York, New York.

I know it's not a very unique answer, but I can't deny that the place gets better every time I visit. Part of my love stems from friends and family who live there, but I also love how hard working and energized the artists and innovators seem to be. There's always a new restaurant to check out, some event going on, and the quality of the art, music, even graffiti, is next-level. It's inspiring!
Place I want to go next? Austin, Texas.
(Pictured: Ol' friend Trenton who moved to Austin)
My old band opened up for an Austin band called Okkervil River a couple years back, and that's when I was first convinced by the lead singer that I needed to visit this magical place. I hear the people are really friendly, and the city is a perfect mix of laid back country living and big-city excitement. My good friend Trenton also recently moved out there, and I want to visit him and drink beers and watch Austin City Limits.
I am 25. Even though I still feel really young when thinking about how someone like James Franco is a good 7 years older than me, I'll also think about how James Dean only made it to 24, and I'm then really thankful to have already made it this far in life.

If you're looking for a side dish to compliment a chicken, lamb, or beef meal, this rice recipe is sure to satisfy. It's got rich flavor, different textures, and that gorgeous yellow-orange hue from the curry. Your kids will love the taste and you'll love the fact that you're getting them to eat cauliflower.

• salt and pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced small

DEC, 2011 Recent selloffs in emerging market currencies, which have caused sharp drops in such LatAm currencies as the Mexican peso and Brazilian real, are but latest development of an historical pattern, and they point to a stubborn truth: currency volatility is a problem when investing in the region, and investors are wise to hedge against it or position themselves to benefit from it. As Andrew Braine, the Director of City Credit Capital LatAm operations, "Investing in locally denominated vehicles in LatAm has its pro and cons, but being at the mercy of currency fluctuations can cause a lot of worries." Mr. Braine says that it is "essential that investors hedge against such risk." One way, he says, is by diversifying their portfolios with dollar-based vehicles. Another is by investing in Forex. "Intelligent investors," he explains, "understand that they can significantly reduce their risk by diversifying their exposure. Tradin....

The story of how 30-year-old Evan Lewandowski began making wine in Utah starts with a guy walking into a bar.
Lewandowski, who moved to Utah for the snow — and college — in 2001, had his first inkling that wine was his calling after he tried a Robert Mondavi sauvignon blanc while busing tables at the defunct L'Avenue restaurant. It was a far cry from the swill in a box he drank at college parties.
That led him to work as a server at a wine bar in Park City, where a man from Communicating for Agriculture, a group that places interns on farms and in other agricultural businesses, walked in.
Thus began years of travel to work at wineries around the world — from northern California to Australia and New Zealand, to northern Italy and then a vineyard thriving at more than 10,000 feet in Argentina. All along he was focusing on regions with similar soils or high altitudes like Utah's.
Even when he had the chance to stay in Alsace, France — his "holy grail" of wineries where he helped make the dry Rieslings he loves — Lewandowski was committed to returning to Utah, where he is now a sommelier at Pago restaurant in Salt Lake City.
"No matter where I've been in the last eight years, I've always been in Utah in my head," said Lewandowski, who frequently moved as a son of Air Force lieutenant colonel. "I've always been thinking about what's going to happen here."
Last month, Lewandowski produced the first of three wines under the Ruth Lewandowski label. The white wine, called Mahlon, is made of arneis grapes and pairs with light summer dishes.
A second wine, Chilion, is expected to be released at the end of June. Made with cortese grapes — and fermented with the skins — it will have an orange tinge and a pleasant amount of tannin, Lewandowski said.
Boaz, a red made with carignan grapes, will be out in the early fall.
While the grapes come from Mendocino County, Calif., some of the pressing and all of the fermenting and bottling are done in Utah. Even the bottle labels are shaped like the state.
Lewandowski is a minimalist in the winery. He doesn't inoculate with cultured yeast strains, but lets the grapes ferment naturally. He doesn't stop malolactic fermentation by chilling the wine or using sulphur, which makes filtration almost unnecessary, he said.
"When grapes are grown and they're grown well, there's very little that should be happening in the winery," he said.
That means the Mahlon is a bit cloudy.
"All of those things that are in the wine causing it to be a little bit hazy, those are things that contribute to mouth feel, that contribute to aroma or flavor compounds," he said. "To filter that out, you would be taking away something that is potentially pleasant just for the sake of aesthetics."
The name of the winery, as well as the names of the wines, also reveals Lewandowski's natural bent. Ruth is for the book in the Old Testament that tells the story of the woman marrying Mahlon (whose brother was Chilion).
Mahlon dies "and Ruth marries Boaz. Then generations later, Jesus is born," Lewandowski said. "It's a story of death and redemption."
It also is the basis of the Christian's farming philosophy: Death is the engine of life in the soil. That's why the bottle designs shows upside-down animals sprouting flowers from their mouths.
Caputo Market and Deli sells the Ruth Lewandowski wine by the glass at its locations in downtown Salt Lake City and 15th and 15th. Matt Caputo said he included Mahlon on the wine list because "his wine is mind-blowingly good with cheese, smoked and cured meats." Caputo also believes Lewandowski will put Utah "on the map for natural wines."
Lewandowski hopes so, too.
He is actively looking for a vineyard site in southern Utah and in other spots where orchards thrive.
While the physical climate is right in certain places in Utah, the political climate isn't. But he's certain it will change. "I actually think I can grow wine on a world-class scale," he said.
It will take five years from the time he plants his first vine to produce wine— enough time to make the Ruth Lewandowski name recognizable.
"These wines I have coming out in the next three years are a means to an end," he said. "I want to establish some sort of presence here and show people I'm committed to Utah."
Ruth Lewandowski wines
Buying • Available at the winery by appointment only, 3340 S. 300 West, Suite 4, South Salt Lake; 801-230-7331.
Dining • The wines are served at Pago and Finca restaurants and Caputo Market and Deli.
Cost • $17.99 for Mahlon. Other two types haven't been released.

The Undomestic Goddessby Sophie Kinsella
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She's made a mistake so huge, it'll wreck any chance of a partnership.
Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she's mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as housekeeper. Her employers have no idea they've hired a lawyer — and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. She can't sew on a button, bake a potato, or get the ironing board to open. How she takes a deep breath and begins to cope — and finds love — is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake.
But will her old life ever catch up with her? And if it does, will she want it back?
"Samantha Sweeting, the 29-year-old heroine of Kinsella's latest confection (after Shopaholic Sister), is on the verge of partnership at the prestigious London law firm Carter Spink — the Holy Grail of her entire workaholic life. But when she finds she has made a terrible, costly mistake just before the partnership decision, she's terrified of being fired. In a fog, she stumbles out of the building and onto the nearest train, which drops her in the countryside, where she wanders to a stately home. The nouveau riche lady of the house mistakes her for the new housekeeper — and Samantha is too astonished to correct her. Numb and unable to face returning to London, Samantha tries to master the finer points of laundry, cooking and cleaning. She discovers that the slow life, her pompous but good-hearted employers and the attentions of the handsome gardener, Nathaniel, suit her just fine. But her past is hard to escape, and when she discovers a terrible secret about her firm — and when the media learns that the former legal star is scrubbing toilets for a living — her life becomes more complicated than ever. If readers can swallow the implausible scenario, then Kinsella's genuine charm and sweet wit may continue to win her fans. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[A] genuinely funny, sweet book. Kinsella is a comic whiz who consistently delivers what her readers crave: a good read with lots of laughs and little reality." Miami Herald
"Sophie Kinsella is at the top of the chick lit game. Her plots are fast-paced and entertaining, with the perfect amount of realistic neurosis to accompany her quirky heroines." New York Post
"A lovely romantic comedy." The Washington Post
"Another charming winner from the delightful Kinsella." Booklist

Ever had a headache that just won't go away? Families near Dellyne and Unser called 4 On Your Side after they said the city failed to act on its months-long promise to clean one of its own properties.
"You could see piles of trash in here, you could see piles of dog doo in here, and I kept trying to express this to them and still nobody was coming out," homeowner Sharon Holt said.
Friday morning, she showed off all the problems. In addition to the trash, she pointed to dead trees, dead bushes, and weeds that were more than four-feet high.
"I look at this, and it's like god this is so disgusting," Holt said. "I've had friends come and visit and they literally say, god, it looks ghetto down there."
She said she started contacting the city in June. Initially, she said a city parks worker promised to have the mess cleaned up in two or three weeks. When that never materialized, Holt contacted the city again.
Week after week, Holt said the problems just never went away.
"It's a complete failure for people not doing their job, instead of getting over here and maintaining it," she said.
City councilor Ken Sanchez also expressed frustration over the situation after he said his staff contacted the parks department weeks ago as well.
"They're dealing with it, but it's being dealt with in slow motion," he said.
But less than an hour after 4 On Your Side documented the mess, city parks crews showed up and removed the weeds, collected the trash, and rebuilt the once-defunct sprinkler system.

The firm .406 Ventures has closed $170 million for its investment fund. "We did it the old-fashioned way," Cirino says. "We had 800 phone calls, 343 meetings and got 20 yes" answers to drum up money from investors. The firm has invested in more than two dozen start-ups, including Veracode and Bit9.
Cirino, also founder and former CEO of Guardent, which was acquired by VeriSign, says the vast majority of the firm's investments are doing well, even in the current dismal economic environment. One investment, Health Dialog, recently sold for $780 million to a British consortium.
In addition to the Women's Executive Forum, Cirino will also attend another women-only event, the Women's Private Equity Summit -- and is taking a ribbing from her male colleagues about "chick boondoggles."
Though some may object to the idea of retreats based on gender, many women insist that female-only gatherings are where they feel there's a level of candidness and camaraderie, a kind of re-energizing, that's hard to find in the usual conferences that are mainly men.
Cirino says sexism may exist in some areas of IT but she hasn't experienced any. But she adds, "IT is a demanding industry, and for a lot of women, it is about choices. But it's not fair to say you can't have a family."
In some parts of the world, the idea of women in traditional male job roles is simply rejected in business — by men at least. This means when women IT professionals walk into such situations, they find themselves treading gingerly — often using male associates as cover, making them the main presenters of ideas they would otherwise be the first to express.
Rhonda MacLean, who now heads up her own consulting firm MacLean Risk Partners after a long career that saw her become head of IT security at Boeing, Bank of America and Barclay's, has been in different countries where it was obvious that businessmen who arrived for a meeting simply had no cultural basis for interacting with women equally in positions of authority.
"I knew it was tough for them culturally," MacLean says. "I also felt it was more important to respect others' cultures." So, in these circumstances, she would prep "a couple of my guys to lead the discussion, and I piped in when need be."
Many women professionals cite these kinds of experiences abroad. But such instances are not the norm today, and MacLean says she encourages young women — as well as racial minorities not yet largely visible in the world of IT — to consider high-tech a great field to enter.
"I achieved more than I ever dreamed," says MacLean, whose career began at Lanier Business Products selling office automation equipment when Boeing asked her to set up its first office automation program.
At the time, she was a single mother with two children in the aftermath of a divorce. Her mentor was Texas lawyer Joe Roady, for whom she worked as a legal secretary, who told her she could be whatever she wanted to be.
"I loved solving business problems," MacLean says, adding the secret is to surround yourself with smart, hard-working people … and listen to what they have to say.
Patricia Titus, CISO at Unisys, found her enthusiasm for high-tech was ignited while in the Air Force assisting in intercepting Russian Morse Code communications during the Cold War. Living with her two children later in the Washington, D.C. area, she ended up at a company called Auspex Systems, learning to be a systems administrator mainly through on-the-job training.

Why Do We Need to Have It Our Way?
- Tuesday, July 02, 2013
This is not the route I thought my life would have taken nor what I had planned, and in no sense would I consider I had it "my way." Nevertheless, I am where I am. I can focus on not getting what I had wanted, never having been married (yet), nor having children to call my own, or I can rejoice over those things that could have only been of the Lord.
I cannot help but smile and be grateful when I think back over the years and consider the people who have impacted my life and the memories we have made. How can I dare demand anything more?
In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps (Proverbs 16:9).
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD (Isaiah 55:8).
If I truly believe in God's Word and trust in what these passages are saying, how can I continue to try to make MY desires come to pass over trusting the Lord to show me His?
If the Lord determines my steps and His ways not my ways, why do I rack my brains, get so frustrated and disappointed when things don't happen the way I think it "should," instead of just looking for His greater plan in it?
Is there anything in your life which you have been wrestling with God over?
Are you "stuck" in your thinking of how life needs to go in a certain direction?
Have you been unwavering in what your future mate should look like, be like or have?
When we reach that place in life where we can truly believe and live with the peace and understanding of Isaiah 55:8 we will begin to live freer.
David seemed to have reached this place, and it is my hope we all will.
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me (Psalms 13:5-6).

You seem MUCH more in the know of this than me and I would so appreciate any advice and clarification from you.
I play on a EU relam and whenever I would download the client from the EU wow site it would only give me the option of my US realm that is closed and inactive. I got a royal ring around by blizz support and even tried asking wowinsider but got no luck. Seriuously I went into all the nitty gritty details and everything is working right but each time only the us realm pops up in 64 bit mode and that acount is closed.
So I was wondering when it it says not yet supported and is technically a beta thing does this mean eventually it will be official and when we go into options then game preferences the choice between 32 and 64 will be there? I also have a 64 bit system with 4 gigs. I am content to wait I guess when it becomes "offiical" I just find all this rather confusing and uber frustrating how it just will not work on my EU account.....
Any words of reason would be uber appreciated!

Out of sight, out of mind.
That's the reason, experts seem to agree, that so many Utahns don't pay attention to ozone pollution.
But summertime smog, as it's also called, poses serious health risks — not just to city-dwellers but also those in the most remote corners of the state, and it can be harmful to hearty people as well as those with compromised health.
"People may not realize what they are dealing with," said Rob Paine.
A pulmonologist at University Hospital, member of the Air Quality Board and head of the U.'s new Program for Air Quality, Health and Society, he said Utahns might overlook the health impacts of summer smog because it doesn't look threatening like that brown, hazy winter smog.
"It's clear but it has a huge effect," he said. "People may not realize what they are dealing with."
What is ozone pollution? Unlike the upper-atmosphere ozone layer that protects life on earth by screening out the sun's harmful rays, ground-level ozone damages health.
The pollutant is created when three oxygen atoms form ozone, or O3, which is one of those oxidants that people try to counteract when eating blueberries, pomegranates and other foods high in antioxidants. The recipe for smog isn't complete until those ozone molecules, which are unstable, combine with emissions from tailpipes and smokestacks and "cook" in the sun.
It's an oxidant gas, said Elena Craft, a health scientist with the Environmental Defense Fund. It burrows into the tiniest crevices of the lungs, the alveoli, where clusters of microscopic air sacs help feed oxygen into the bloodstream and whisk away carbon dioxide as a waste product.
And it affects everyone, said Craft.
Babies to seniors • Scientific studies have measured ozone impacts even in the womb, with mothers exposed to high levels delivering low-birthweight babies. Also suffering are newborns, whose lungs develop most rapidly just after birth.
New studies link smog not just to triggering asthma attacks, but also to causing the condition. And, for older people with cardiovascular trouble, exposure to smog is also a risk.
"It does shorten life," added Janice Nolen of the American Lung Association, noting that ozone is the most widespread air pollutant and increasingly shown to be much more harmful than previously understood. "It can cause early death."
Nolan mentioned a recent study of Galveston, Texas, lifeguards that showed a decline in lung function even in healthy people who breathed smog.
"The more we learn, the more complicated it gets," she said. "So it shouldn't be taken lightly."
The lung association's most recent State of the Air report gave Salt Lake County an "F" grade for high ozone. But the group also singled out rural Uintah County for ozone pollution, an odd winter problem there that has been linked to oil and gas industry emissions.
"People don't always know how important air pollution is to their health," said Nolan.
Ozone nation • The same report said nearly 4 in 10 people in the United States — more than 119 million people — live in areas with unhealthy levels of ozone.
Her organization is joining the American Medical Association, the American Lung Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Thoracic Society and others in urging the EPA to tighten allowable smog limits.
"The medical and health care community has been vocal in support of the science for a more protective ozone standard," said Craft, whose group also backs the tougher limits.
Meanwhile, the rural ozone connection is one that is getting more attention in Utah.
Recent studies by the Utah Division of Air Quality have shown ozone levels at or over the health-based standard set by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency in Parleys Canyon, Erda in Tooele County and even Antelope Island, where buffalo are more likely to cause traffic jams than motorized vehicles.
"Often in these pristine places," said Utah pulmonologist Paine, "we still have exposure."
Last month Department of Environmental Quality Director Amanda Smith told a congressional subcommittee the high background levels of smog might be drifting into the rural West from Asia, falling from the upper atmosphere or other as-yet-unknown sources. Regardless, it's creating concern that much of the West may fail to achieve a tightened air-quality standard because of those background levels.
While it's unclear how the issues will shake out in the regulatory world, the obvious solution for individuals is to take control of their personal health — by watching daily forecasts, tracking hourly readings, monitoring personal symptoms and avoiding conditions that might lead to avoidable harm.
"It requires that you remain vigilant about the quality of the air you are breathing," said Craft, "and that's definitely a day-to-day responsibility."
Twitter: judyfutah
Self defense: Ozone and you
The Utah Asthma Program and the advocacy group, Breathe Utah, offer some tips:
• Avoid outdoor exercise on smoggy days, roughly noon to 6 p.m.
• Sign up for pollution alerts from the Utah Division of Air Quality at http://www.airquality.utah.gov/
• Check DAQ's daily forecasts, current conditions and trends, especially on hot, sunny days when the air is stagnant
• Download the Android and Apple apps at EPA's AirNow http://m.epa.gov/apps/airnow.html
• Take action to limit pollution, such as driving less, using low-fume paints, personal care products and small engine.
• Take heed of symptoms, including unexplained fatigue, chest tightness and a even small cough. Some people experience health effects even before health alerts are issued.

I hate mastering pianos now.
Why is there no Easy Listening genre here? We seperate 'Olskool' and 'modern' hiphop, but don't offer Easy Listening? wtf?
I'm actually quite proud of how this song turned out, as it was a successful break from techno, without compromising mixing quality, and it has at least a decent melody. Took about 20-30 hours of work, plus 8 hours of just waiting for the thing to render TWICE because i made a stupid mistake >C

DETROIT (WTVB) - There's at least one indicator that the Michigan economy is gaining steam, or at least it was for awhile this summer. Comerica Bank's latest Michigan Economic Activity Index shows July rising to levels not seen since November 2002. Chief Economist Robert Dye says job creation picked up, housing markets are improving and the August vehicle sales figures picked up to rate of 14-point-five million units for the year. Comerica's Michigan Economic Activity Index bottomed out in the summer of 2009, and the state has been steadily improving since then.

I've no idea what, if anything, is the symbol for a 4-20mA sensor. A current source makes sense in my head at least.
I guess if it was drawn correctly the + and - wouldn't actually be around it at all, the diagram only needs to show the 12V source and ground.
The documentation however only gives the electrical connections in terms of a + and - so it's good to have for reference.
In other news, 250ohm resisters ordered, I was shocked at how they start at £5 for such a tiny component. 0.1% tolerance and a specific use market do that i guess.

The Vikings have so many needs at so many positions, that you'd expect general manager Rick Spielman to be watching every single combine participant closely. However, Spielman was seen reviewing his notes and gathering other information about players while one certain group were on the field. And that was the tight ends.
"We have pretty good tight ends, so I wasn't really focusing on that," Spielman said. "There's some depth at that position. I know there's some guys that have some character issues at that position. But we've got them all graded and stuff. We've kind of focused on some other areas."
Spielman definitely has a point. Minnesota has quite a good group of tight ends right now. Here is the current group on the roster:
Kyle Rudolph
- John Carlson
- Rhett Ellison
- Chase Ford
With those gentlemen available for the next season and looking healthy, there isn't much reason to pursue one in free agency or the draft. Each of the team's tight ends have stepped in at a certain point in the season and played at a reasonable level. Tight ends should be showcased in the Vikings new offense, so their role should be expanded pretty well.
Minnesota should be looking to fill spots at other positions this offseason. With free agency opening soon, it should get pretty exciting for fans waiting for some activity with their team.

Panetta hails 'last chapter' of war in Afghanistan
Thursday - 1/10/2013, 11:36am EST
AP National Security Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is hailing what he calls "the last chapter" of a long and costly struggle to ensure that Afghanistan can govern itself and avoid reverting to a haven for terrorists.
In remarks at the start of a meeting in his Pentagon office with visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Panetta reflected on what he called a decade of great sacrifice by Afghans as well as their coalition partners.
Panetta was conferring with Karzai a day ahead of the Afghan leader's meeting at the White House with President Barack Obama.
Karzai followed Panetta's remarks by saying he could assure Americans that Afghanistan will soon be able to provide for its own security. And he said it will never again be threatened by what he called "terrorists from across our borders."

"We have loads of resources," said Mayor Bill Gluba. "We're on a interstate highway system. We've got rail. We're just building a brand new transload facility where you can move things from trains to trucks. We've got an incredibly strong workforce. We're already a leader in manufacturing."Those resources are what Mayor Bill Gluba says should attract major companies here. The mayor although the Quad Cities has a lower unemployment rate than some of the rest of the country, it still has a ways to go to get people back to work--starting with continuing to push for big business."We're pretty much open to any major company or any manufacturer. We don't limit ourselves," said Mayor Gluba. "We're a pretty diverse economy and that's healthy for our region."According to the mayor, getting business to expand in the Quad Cities hasn't always been easy. He told us that Quad City community leaders should be more aggressive and take advantage of our bi-state region."We haven't had any serious major businesses relocate here in a long time. I'm talking those that have thousands of jobs and there aren't many out there," said Mayor Gluba. "Manufacturing jobs really have a great spin off on the economy. For example, air craft manufacturers. If you were to bring one aircraft manufacturer into the quad cities, for every job your brought in, 2.3 jobs would be created elsewhere in economy," said Bi-State Regional Commission Economic Planner Mark Hunt. "The impact of those kind of jobs would be obvious."The mayor says no matter what happens with Boeing, the quad cities has plans to bring other companies the area."We've got other companies that we're in contact with but I'm not at liberty to talk about it because it's too early," said Mayor Gluba.

"This is a big event, the Route 66 is a part of our heritage and it really connects us with the rest of Missouri as well as our friends in Oklahoma and Kansas and it's been part of our heritage for years," says Patrick Tuttle of the Joplin Convention and Visitors Bureau. "The fact that we can reach out to the world with an international festival is just an amazing thing for us."
This is the first time that Missouri will host this international festival.

Boeing fuel pump AD expanded
Boeing Business Jets are included in a new AD that expands the provisions of an August 30 emergency AD concerning possible exposed wires in fuel pumps that, in combination with a volatile air/fuel vapor mix in a partially filled fuel tank, could cause an explosion. The original AD applied to 118 new-generation 737s and some 747s and 757s, but because more pumps than originally discovered might have problems, the new AD applies to all 3,200 of these types. X-ray inspections are required and, until corrective action is available, minimum fuel quantities must be followed to ensure that the center-wing fuel pump inlets are covered with fuel when the pump is on.

In what way is a directional streamer a swim aid? It doesn't touch the swimmer, isn't supportive, doesn't provide warmth, flotation, or propulsion. I've read the comments above about it possibly impacting the flow of water and I'm deeply skeptical. Besides, if it were found to do so, couldn't it be simply submerged further so it didn't?
