Yesterday I posted about my experience taking the Court of Master Sommeliers Introductory Level I Course.
Our four Master Sommeliers were not only entertaining and engaging (which kept us perked up during the two day course) but their backgrounds were interesting as well.
Ron Edwards was not a stranger to studying. He graduated North Carolina State University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering before switching paths. Keith Goldston grew up in Napa Valley and the only way his parents would let him buy a motorcycle at 16 was if he paid for it- so he started as a bus boy at a small Italian restaurant and worked his way up. Laura DePasquale was a painter and now she is the Vice Chair of the Court of Master Sommeliers and the Vice President and General Manager of The Vinter Group/Stacole.
And then there were the students. Each one's path was as different as the terroir of Napa Valley Chardonnay versus Chablis, but all wanted to progress to become a Certified Sommelier.
"Surprisingly I am not an expert on Australian wine," Australian Carston Woodhouse told me. "I guess I took it for granted growing up there." He now lives in Augusta, Georgia but he travels across state borders every day to go to work at a restaurant in South Carolina. A far cry from wine, he studied theology in Australia before coming to the states, and hopes to go on to get my Masters in Christian Theology.
Georgia wine was close to Jackie Fortier's heart. She works at Frog Town Cellars in Dahlonega, Georgia. "I am so lucky that my job is working in the tasting room of a winery every day," she said. Her advice for those looking to go: come on the weekdays to avoid crowds.
Colt Jones is one of Empire State South's three up-and-coming beverage specialists. "This course is more of a review for me," he said. He has the benefit of gaining a vast amount of experience from James Beard nominated sommelier Steven Grubbs. Passing the exam was only the beginning for him, as he hopes to travel around and teach other industry hopefuls in an introductory level course, much like our Master Sommeliers did.
For Bobby Dabestani, he developed a gluten intolerance three years ago and that led him to drinking wine. Now he lives in Charlotte and works at Del Frisco's. "Every year I create a bucket list of new experiences to check off," he said. "I want to get my Certified sommelier by the end of this year, along with a solo sky-diving certification."
I was most surprised by Jeremy's dedication to the exam. "I basically re-wrote the course book from last year," he told me. "There are maps of all the wine regions that I have redrawn and pinned up around my apartment." Jeremy works at Anis in Buckhead, where his experience studying abroad in France has helped him with the extensive French wine list.

Jenna Fryer
AP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Rapper 50 Cent is bringing his headphones and audio line into NASCAR via a partnership with Swan Racing.
The rapper — born Curtis Jackson — will have branding for his SMS Audio line on both of Swan Racing's cars. The logos will also be on the uniforms for Parker Kligerman and Cole Whitt, and the drivers will be featured on Swan-branded SMS Audio headphones.
The partnership also calls for 50 Cent to make appearances at races throughout the 2014 season, although the rapper is no stranger to the Daytona 500. He made headlines when he awkwardly attempted to kiss Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews on the starting grid for the Daytona 500.
But NASCAR seems to be a fit for Jackson, particularly this partnership with Swan Racing, which is owned by Brandon Davis, the CEO of independent oil and gas company Swan Energy.
Jackson is an admitted former crack dealer turned rapper who has built an empire beyond entertainment. He invested early in Vitamin Water and has expanded his business interests into clothing and now audio equipment.
"I'm an entrepreneur, 50's an entrepreneur and it's a good fit for both of us," Swan Racing team owner Brandon Davis said Tuesday. "This partnership broadens our reach and gets us into a whole new market and I believe that holds true for them, as well. If we both do this correctly, it should be a mutually beneficial relationship."
The deal is the latest for Davis, who is transforming the organization he purchased in late 2012. A former start-and-park team, he set a goal of racing in every event. Then he signed Bill Romanowski as an investor, and most recently added Iowa businessman Anthony Marlowe as a minority owner.
Davis has also expanded to two cars for the 2014 season and hired a pair of young drivers in Whitt and Kligerman.
The relationship with SMS Audio was put together by Illinois-based Pegasus Marketing Group, which works with the race team and 50 Cent's company. Davis has yet to meet the rapper — their discussions have on the telephone because of scheduling conflicts — but Jackson said in a statement he's excited about the venture.
"Swan Racing and its up-and-coming drivers are the perfect match for SMS Audio," the rapper said. "They are as passionate for the sport of racing as we are for our audio products, and we're confident that the music-loving NASCAR fan base is going to enjoy our headphones."
Davis hopes Swan's partnership with the prolific rapper can bring attention to his fledgling race team. Davis said he spent "10 times the amount of money I planned" on his inaugural NASCAR season, and has been trying different avenues to bring in more marketing opportunities for his team.
"We did everything we said we were going to do, and paid all our bills. It was just more difficult than I expected," Davis said. "NASCAR is an entrepreneur's dream. It's a good platform because you can be creative with the way you bring money into your team and work partnerships. The structure opens the door for entrepreneurs to come in and use this platform for different kinds of marketing opportunities, and this is one of them."
Swan Racing was a one-car team last season, primarily with David Stremme. The team had five top-20 finishes. Expanding to two teams has required doubling the team personnel, and a larger investment, which Davis is still doing without steady sponsorship.
"It's been a lot of fun for me, a lot of pleasure, but from a marketing standpoint it has been very hard," he said. "I would grade my experience as an A, but my performance as a D and we are working hard to improve that. The hope is that in partnerships with Anthony Marlowe and SMS Audio, we are doing a better job and making some inroads."

"American Masters – Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth," which traces the author's personal and professional journey from her birth into a family of sharecroppers in Eatonton, Ga., premieres nationally Friday, February 7 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings).
Walker made history as the first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her seminal novel The Color Purple (1982), for which she won the National Book Award.
Presented on PBS in honor of Walker's 70th birthday and Black History Month, filmmakerPratibha Parmar's new documentary tells Walker's dramatic life story with poetry and lyricism, and features new interviews with Walker, Steven Spielberg, Danny Glover,Quincy Jones, Gloria Steinem, Sapphire and the late Howard Zinn in one of his final interviews.
"As a filmmaker, one of the deepest desires is to engage the audience in the conversation unfolding on screen. I am thrilled to offer this in 'Beauty In Truth,' where Alice's openness, warmth and on-screen intimacy reflects our long history of kinship," said Parmar. "Making 'Beauty In Truth' has been an adventure of discovery and sheer inspiration. I'm so pleased it will have a national audience on American Masters."
Erica Campbell will exclusively debut her new music video "Help," this Monday on VH1 Soul and VH1.com.
The video, created by legendary and iconic director Bille Woodruff, will premiere at 6:00am EST on VH1 Soul and will run every hour (on the hour) all day.
The video will also be available on line exclusively on VH1.com.
Shot in HD, Campbell looked absolutely stunning in the Woodruff led video that features breakthrough rapper Lecrae and her daughter Krista Campbell. As always Erica stays relevant in her delivery with this right-on-time ballad that is coupled with Lecrae's poignant rap and Woodruff's beautiful aesthetic shines. The collaboration is memorable and a sure fire hit for both in Gospel and urban platforms.
Campbell continues to travel the country promoting the release of her upcoming solo album, HELP, which hits stores March 25th as well as the start of the third season of her hit WEtv show "Mary Mary" on February 27th. Erica will also be hitting the road this spring with a series of solo performances in Washington DC, New York and Atlanta.
12 Years a Slave' Director Steve McQueen has joined forces with the world's oldest human rights organization.
The filmmaker will act as an ambassador for Anti-Slavery International, a committee set up in 1839 to lobby against slavery and related abuses.
He met with officials at the group's headquarters in London on Monday (Feb. 3) and declared his intention to highlight the importance of working against modern-day slavery across the globe.
Referring to the hero of his Oscar-nominated movie, Solomon Northup, the free black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841, he said, "Right now, there are Solomon Northups in every region of the world who have been taken away from their families and placed in slavery.
"I hope that, 150 years from now, a film will not be made about our ambivalence to slavery. We have to do something about it."
He also hosted a private viewing of the movie for Members of Parliament, and urged politicians to add Northup's book about his horrific experiences to the curriculum in England's schools.

It's the classic one-night-stand-turns-something-more story – where the "rules" of a relationship fluctuate and reflect the more contemporary world we live in today. What is the fine line when it comes to beginning and maintaining a relationship? How does someone properly deal with the feelings of another?
Taking place in downtown Los Angeles, the more risqué adult-love movie "About Last Night" explored a few angles on how some deal with relationships and the vulnerability that comes with it. Based off the original 1986 film "About Last Night" starring Demi Moore, the movie reunited part of the cast of "Think Like A Man," Kevin Hart, Regina Hall and Michael Ealy. The cast was also complimented by Joy Bryant. Kevin Hart plays Bernie, the loud-mouthed friend to Danny, the slightly heartbroken good guy who is played by Michael Ealy. Regina Hall plays Joan who is the more passionate and sometimes outlandish friend of Debbie, played by Joy Bryant who is the successful businesswoman and the more grounded and reserved of the two. Bernie and Joan play a more dysfunctional love interest pair, while Danny and Debbie play the more conventional love interest pair. It's hard to say exactly what's normal in a relationship and the cast agrees that there are different ways to view the "rules" of relationships.
"I think it depends on who you are, the person you're dealing with and also like my grandmother used to say, 'you make your bed, you lie in it.' If that's what you want to do, there may or may not be consequences for your actions," Bryant said.
Bryant's character of Debbie explores the way she deals with a relationship that started off of a one-night stand. Bryant, who's been married for around 6 years, jokes that the opportunity to work in a lot of movies that require romantic scenes is "legal cheating." Her and Ealy's connection in the movie was undeniable and super steamy as the movie was filled with a lot of sex scenes.
"Our thing was sort of like 'You kiss with tongue? Yeah, okay it's fine?' Those are the technical things you want to get out of the way when you're doing love scenes," Bryant said.
Both Debbie and Danny's relationship in the movie goes through its ups and downs and reveal certain relatable moments to how people deal with certain feelings in a relationship. Ealy, who recently got married in 2012, says he can relate to his character Danny in more than one way.
"What I realized was how happy I was that I have evolved and matured beyond this phase. The character of Danny is definitely informed by me in my 20s. Danny is 28 in the movie, I was 28 when I was like Danny," Ealy said. "I think for me, I just didn't have the maturity like Danny to confront whatever issues I have with work or anything else that's going on in my life. I didn't have the ability to handle it, so I took it out on whoever I was with in ways just like Danny…ignoring them, becoming curt, just blaming them, running from the issue and being pretty bad at communicating my problems," he continued.
In the movie, Danny and Bernie are best friends. Bernie spends a lot of time coaching up Danny to go after the "single and mingle" status. The resistant Danny perseveres against the pestering ways of Bernie, who happens to have romantic issues of his own.
Bernie's love interest, Joan is his dysfunctional match. She's extremely passionate and very vocal about what she wants from Bernie, while Bernie puts on an act that he doesn't have the exact same feelings for her. Hall said that it was fun working with Hart and comfortable.
"We just had the opportunity to discover some stuff about us that we didn't even know. We had so much fun and we had a lot of comfort," Hall said.
Hall says she's been through her own bad break up years ago. As a result, she got into yoga as a way to fuel her energy into something else. In a sex scene with Hart, Hall's leg is behind her head, making everyone wonder, was that really her leg?
"We improv'd a lot. We had fun improvising. There's stuff that wasn't in the script that we did. That was my leg behind my head," Hall laughs.
Both Hall and Hart brought the comedic element to the movie. The connection between the two was explosive. When one wasn't making the audience laugh, the other was and the two still laugh at their performances on set today. Ealy mentioned a swimming scene in the movie where Danny and Bernie are in the pool taking a lap, which was right up Hart's alley.
"For the shot, we put him (Ealy) like four body lengths in front of me. And said action!" Hart said.
Hart beat Ealy in that lap in the pool and says it's because he's a hotshot when it comes to swimming.
"I swam all my youth. Made it into the Junior Olympics and everything. Real deal," Hart said.
The cast of "About Last Night" share an electric chemistry with many more riveting and hilarious scenes. Check it out in theaters nationwide on February 14.

Breast Lift and Augmentation.. My Journey- Short Version:) - Folsom, CA
I'm 34 years old and I have three boys who keep me...
During my consultation, I decided on 350 cc (I'm not sure what I ended up with exactly, I'll know in a few days).
Preparing for July Surgery and what I bought:
- I got So brand hoodies from Kohls. Exactly what I've been looking for.. lightweight (almost see through but not), zip up and a hoodie. I bought 5 at $13 each- this is a perfect hoodie for that summer surgery.
- easy to pull up Yoga pants variety (might as well be comfortable and something I can use later on).. I love Lucy (yes the show and the yoga store)
-Tank dresses at Walgreens (yes, walgreens 2 for $12) Perfect for sleeping. I was able to pull it up from my waist without having to pull it over my head.
-Wedge memory pillow from Amazon (about $40) I have two pillows for my head on top of the wedge and two pillows on each of my side for my arms.. I don't know how I would have been able to sleep without this wedge pillow.. I was very hesitant about this purchase, but so happy I did.
-Lots of fruits already ready cut up in containers, especially pineapples
-Thermos (nice to have a cold drink all night long) My own concoction: EmergenC Tangerine + a squirt of MIO Tangerine + H20 + ice= yummy and hydrated.
-crackers and little snacks next to your recovery area (you will need to eat a little when takings all the meds, I was nauseous a few times)
-Nursing Pads and Panty liners (for those getting an anchor lift). When my husband changed my dressings the night of my surgery, the gauze stuck a little to the incision so the nursing pads were a lot more comfortable and didn't stick at all. I had a box left over of the nursing pads from the last time I was breast feeding ( I don't know why I was happy about that lol). I used the pantyliner for under the breast where the incision is just for extra protection. I was afraid the surgical bra may get on it, but it doesn't. I bought an extra bra from the office so I always have an extra clean one to alternate with.
-All medicines filled, plus antibiotic ointment when dressings are changed. I read that Neosporin is not a good one (I guess a lot of people going through augmentation got some kind of bad reaction to it) so I just got the walgreens brand.
Two Days before Surgery-
Cleaned house. Laundry. Prepared my Recovery area for the next few weeks. Eyebrow and Brazilian Wax. Gave Hubby extra attention (wink wink)
The Night Before:
Showered. Shaved mustache, armpits.. The WORKs. Gave myself an Eminence Facial -Pear and Poppy Seed Polisher and Pineapple peel. Gave myself a Gel manicure and pedicure (amazon) :) I'm a DIY kind of mom.
The morning of Surgery (arrival time at 7:15am):
Showered and wore a hoodie with easy to pull up yoga pants and Sanuk slippers (which are the most comfortable I think) I did wear a bra going there.
Got home around 10am. Ate some Keebler crackers (I don't do Saltines, I love the buttery crispy kind) Took meds and slept all day. Husband changed dressings at night. Nursing Pads to the rescue.
The Day After:
Probably the worse out of all the days.. Getting in and out of the bed without having to use your hands was hard at first. There was a lot of core usage to get up and it's not like my husband can help me up using my hands.lol The wedge pillow is really helpful. (By the way, teach your husband to french braid or braid your hair- that's an awesome quality my husband has) On another note, I felt torpedoes were bulging out of my chest. Take pictures of your progress. While you don't care about it at the time, you will want to see your progress (well, I do) and I'm very camera shy (hence the no pictures)
Day 2:
Still on meds but feeling a little better.
Day 3:
I had some shooting pain on my left breast in the nipple area and very slight bleeding when I woke up.
Day 4:
Still on meds but not taking vicodin every 4 hours.. trying to extend it 6 hours. I had a full on shower and felt so good. I couldn't wash my hair or wash my chest area for 4 days. Hubby washed everything else the past few nights.. sang the song "My humps my humps, my lovely ladely lumps.. check it out" to give Hubby some entertainment while he was cleaning me. He's been so awesome. I still feel swollen but not so tight.. still getting shooting pains on left nipple after laying down for a bit.
While I have major Frankenboobs, it looks good so far.:)
Dr Mabourakh is very nice and I felt he was the surgeon for me. In my opinion, he had the best after pictures for a lift with augmentation. IT's still early to tell final results, but so far so good. His staff are very nice! My ratings are based on what I've experienced so far.

Congratulations! I really enjoyed reading your review. You do a great job clearly describing the emotions we go through for this procedure. You're right, it's initially difficult to justify an elective surgery like this. Glad to hear your husband was so supportive during your recovery. I must ask though, who was taking care of the 3 boys and how on earth did you find the time to do your nails the night before? I have 3 kids too and can never find time for myself! ;) Looking forward to your update...and to hear how many cc's you ended up with!

Recognizing the female Pele: Brazil's Marta Vieira da Silva
By Eric Beard
Don't worry, I'm well aware that the Women's World Cup isn't until 2011. But because the World Cup is all about acceptance and perspective, I thought I would share with you a truly special player. I know some of you may be thinking, "I bet that every guy representing his nation in South Africa this summer is better than even the best female footballer," but trust me, Brazil's Marta will make you completely reconsider that notion. Marta Vieira da Silva, or just Marta, is hands down the most skilled female footballer in the world, and unsurprisingly she hails from Brazil. The four-time FIFA World Player of the Year has enough talent to make even Premier League players envious. At the 2007 World Cup she, pretty much single-handedly, defeated powerhouses the United States in a 4-0 thromping. This was perhaps the most stunning performance in a Women's World Cup game ever, transcending to a class of her own while consistently pulling off Johan Cryuff-esque skills and gliding towards goal with ease. Here's to a player who has been called the "female Ronaldinho" and the "female Pele", but is undeniably a world-class talent. A compilation of Marta's best goals is above, and the highlights of her amazing performance against the USA are below. What do you think of Brazil's best ever female footballer?

This dial is inspired Fake Rolex by the "Small Tapisserie" motif and the original color that characterized the first Royal Rolex daytona replica Oak created forty years ago. In addition to the tourbillon at 6 o'clock, this new Royal Oak Rolex gmt master ii replica offers the functions hours, minutes and presents, back - side to not to disturb the simplicity and purity of dial - a power reserve indicator divided into 5 segments visible through the Sapphire Crystal.
How you can purchase the table? Actually,this really is occasionally even fairly senior table fans confused the problem cartier replica ,because the economic climate, fake watches aesthetic awareness,brand ideas,swiss replica watches,modifications in consumption level and class,every table will have their option of fans much more or much less doubt. According to the above considerations,the table summarizes the numerous lessons lost buddies,purchased a brand new table offers the fundamental choice technique,here,we only make some brief,but nonetheless really feel fear,following all,misleading the suspect. If the concept of constant and table fans allowed to become proved,it"s the very best,if inconsistent using the concept of table fans,it truly would be to right me a great deal of readers.
Choose Cost Economic base can not be separated any option. No cash,all choices will turn out to be unnecessary obscenity. So,how"s the cost for you? 1. Principles: usually stressed the table to do what to purchase. Watch lengthy ago observed the well-known critic,Mr. Zhu Lei"s post on how you can purchase the table,referring to a principle to two months salary to purchase a watch as a benchmark. I think this principle is extremely helpful for workingclass,with out affecting the every day life,and in line using the identity from the wearer. Obviously,this principle doesn"t apply to all individuals,for the fanatical pursuit from the ideal table fans,two months salary? Not sufficient!
II. Location: even table fans,we generally take into account the price from the issue. The much more costly tables,lower price,simply because exactly the same factor would be to appear in the time,why sell an costly? Talking about here is fairly costeffective,according to complete consideration,to a particular cost range to select probably the most suitable brand and style. Table fans can appear forward to determine just how much the cost range I suggest what brand what style, fake breitling watches for salebut sadly I be concerned about partial and biased towards their preferred brands and designs,too subjective,regardless of whether or not or not to write. Great table,1 point is certainly the cost is substantial. Don"t anticipate bargains,watch the procedure,high quality,high quality, cheap fake rolex value,and ultimately are reflected within the cost of. Based on their economic capacity,select the proper brand and watch,can not afford to purchase a watch,it"s suggested to appreciate the primary only.
Function choice Various functions and designs,exactly where the function refers towards the movement towards the complexity from the classification,are usually divided into: easy models,complicated models two categories. Merely display the time or cash just to improve as much as the function from the calendar week,along with a wide range of complicated models,the significance from the actual use isn"t excellent,usually this novice, fake cartier function choice won"t be a lot of an issue. Here only two typical problems for a easy prompt.
1. Manual or automatic? Occasionally the novice will probably be confused to purchase a table within the manual section on the mechanical and automatic choice of models. In my opinion,if only for practical,then choose Automatic table much more suitable. Manual table for table fans,table fans as much more willing to take the time to appreciate the type of feeling on the bar,table fans,that moment is really a treasure.
II. Quartz or mechanical? If only for the objective of correct and practical to purchase tables,quartz watch will be the greatest option. For an iron table fans,regardless of from which side we would all select mechanical watches,mechanical watches,following all,the charm of a generation following generation.

Online psychics sometimes get a bad reputation, but the Oranum psychics are one of a kind! With Oranum, you get the chance to build a much more personal relationship with your spiritual adviser because all readings are done over a web cam (or chat if you prefer)!

You can also contact and communicate with a psychic through their psychic chat system. This amazing system lets you talk to a Oranum psychic in a chat room setting or Chat/Instant Messaging setting, which some people prefer over say a web cam reading.

The phone chats are the most expensive option. When browsing through the psychic directory, the majority of the higher priced psychics often have a higher rating and many more satisfied customers than the cheaper psychics. However, this does not mean you cannot find a high quality psychic that falls within your budget.

If you want to remain anonymous, you can pay as you go or sign up for a trial period. No matter what you choose, Oranum psychics can provide you with the answers that you need.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Warhammer43 said...
And just how do you suggest blizzard "fix" turtleing? Thats not a problem with the battlegrounds design that something players CHOOSE to do.
Hey, I don't know, but I also never thought about a massive scale battle like Wintergrasp.
Maybe turn the flags into... erm... "poisonous" stuff after a while, so the flag carriers start dying after a while. The longer the battle, the stronger the poison.
Also, there is a little "Reply" button under the comments. It helps people track what you're talking about.
There's plenty that can be done, like having point values for turning in a flag decay over time. Instead of three captures, make it so the first to 300 points wins with flag turn-ins starting at 100 points each and dropping over time. The poison idea is a good one too. Also giving a debuff to the flag carrier that starts after, maybe 3-5 minute, then grows as time passes. Perhaps also a less powerful debuff aura for units friendly to the carrier.
All of these would give the carrier a reasonable time to make a break for home base or hide for a bit. If you want epic battles, you can always go to AV or Wintergrasp. I don't really think anyone enjoys 90 minute Warsong turtles.
I think that poison idea is workable - I had an idea that uses the stackable debuffs we're seeing in Wrath ala Sanity.
You get a debuff, let's call it Warsong Fatigue, every ten seconds while carrying the flag. It reduces your total health by 1% per stack and prevents you from picking up/returning a loose flag. (So if you get 100, you die.) The flag itself gives you a 50% damage increase.
The thing is that the amount of debuffs you get per ten seconds varies depending on where you are. If you're in the enemy base, you get 1. If you're in the field, you get 2. If you're in your base, you get 5. And if both flags have been held for 5 minutes, another 5 on top.
There's three ways to stave off death: personally capping the flag or dying, both of which wipe your stack, or getting an honorable kill, which takes off one debuff. If you drop the flag, you can't pick it up again until you wipe your stack.
The implication's clear. If you turtle, eventually you'll be fodder. If you head out into the field, you have a massive advantage and with some help can stave off death long enough for the other flag carrier to pop their gasket. If the opponents turtle, eventually they'll have to hand off the flag and they'll be weak as kittens.
Maybe make things even more painful: every HK the flag carrier gets gives her a buff, let's call it Silverwing Vengeance, which increases the damage done by everyone within ten yards of the flag (other than the flag carrier) by 1%. Stacks to 100 too. Essentially, it's a turtle buster.
While I like your suggestion, I think unfortunately, the opposite will happen, you'll get HK turtles in the middle of the field. Someone will grab the flag and basically sit in the graveyard pwning face, popping off their debuff stacks and piling up their buffs. Getting the flag shouldn't be so good that you want to keep it even if you could capture it.

This is an opportunity for you to spend one to two weeks in Ghana, interacting with the locals, learning about a new culture, working on community development (e.g. assisting on a school-building project), and generally having the most amazing experience ever! And you will get a course credit for BDC 960 – Selected Topics in International Media. As some of you may know, I spent two weeks in Ghana with DIVOG in 2011 and I can vouch that it was truly the most memorable experience I've ever had.
Dates: the two weeks of Feb 18th (reading week) and Feb. 25th, 2013. You can come for one week or both, depending on whether you think you can miss one week of school. If you come for the full two weeks (recommended), you will have to coordinate with your professors about missing one week of classes, and ensure you can still complete all of your assignments.
Requirements & Expectations:
- Places are limited and interested students will be screened for suitability.
In order to get the course credit, you will need to do some combination of the following (not yet written in stone and subject to change):
- Fundraising
- Research report and/or proposal regarding community radio in Ghana
- Come on the trip and assist with building and/or setting up the radio station
You'll be expected to help out with some fundraising for DIVOG…we will likely be raising money to build a school or similar community development project. DIVOG is also interested in setting up a community radio station. Plans are in the works for a live-event fundraiser at Lula lounge in January, and we have other fundraising initiatives in place you can help with.
You'll also be expected to bring a suitcase or two full of items to donate (clothes, medicine, solar lights/flashlights, toys/games, books/educational materials, etc.). I will send you a list of needed items and you can start asking your friends and neighbours to go through their things and give you things to bring. Don't worry, you won't have to buy anything to donate…I've found that friends and family can fill up a suitcase in no time if you ask!
Here are some of the costs involved:
- DIVOG's cost to look after each of us for two weeks, including accommodation, meals, transportation, site-seeing, and project planning: $750 U.S.*
- You are responsible for your flight to and from Accra, as well as airport transfers. (It's possible for us to arrange shared airport transfers if there are a number of us on the same flight.)
- You are responsible for ensuring you have travel medical insurance, you will need pre-travel immunizations, malaria pills, etc. Contact a travel medicine clinic to find out what you'll need and what it costs. Some of this may be covered through your parents' medical insurance and/or your Ryerson student insurance.
- You'll need an up-to-date passport as well as a Visa for traveling to Ghana.
*I will require a deposit of $400 US to confirm your place by Nov. 15th, 2012. Note that accommodation is basic. Most of the time there is access to flush toilets and running water, but bathing may be limited to 'bucket baths' with cold water and outhouse toilets are common. Beds are similar to camp bunks. Food is fantastic! Local women are hired to cook 3 meals a day for us. There is unlimited access to clean bagged or bottled water for drinking.
Interested?? Here's what you have to do:
Email me: lbeckste at ryerson dot ca with the following info:
- your name
- year in RTA (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th)
- Your current GPA (if you're in first year, tell me what your high school average was last year or your grades from the last time you were in school)
- Outline your previous traveling experience (if any)
- Explain to me why you think you'd be a good candidate to go on this trip. Be specific. Convince me that you'd be a great choice!
Not sure yet whether you're interested? Just email me to let me know you're thinking about it and I'll set up a meeting to discuss more details.
Looking forward to hearing from you! Email me with any questions you have!

The beautiful and cute little city
I found Edinburgh very beautiful and adorable. I'm not a huge fan of big cities and Edinburgh felt just right in size. The old buildings were beautiful and the atmosphere quite laid back. I have very few places I'd say I really want to go back to some day but Edinburgh would be one of those places.
Insider Tip:The pub food might be even better than the food at a regular restaurant, at least it's very good and a lot cheaper! ;)

Traditional thinking on automated manual transmissions has it that AMTs are the great equalizers – bridgers of skill gaps between the best and the worst drivers in the fleet. While that's still true, AMTs now bring even more to the fuel-economy table, offering fuel savings in their own right beyond what even the most professionally driven manual transmission could accomplish.

I see the shocking news in her face, little Syrian girl…is she in the wrong place? I see a stolen childhood, how could you grow up to be normal seeing what you just witnessed? through her eyes I see the agony, tragedy, pain and clear calamity! Lost in a crowd, found on the ground, peaking through to see popa going on a heaven bound. Lost for words, wingless birds, humans slaughtered in herds. Dreams forever demolished how can you possibly dream when your life is a nightmare. women dragged by their hair for rape and group share, I'm just behind a screen and I can hardly bear, yet still story's in Syria too explicit to share. Just ask if the rest of the world cares? Humanity and equality traded for brutality and inequality, just when you thought there's no antonym for humanity you get insanity, a race of stolen dignity and identity, look into my eyes can you figure what they're telling me? -Ahmed Wong

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, Industrial NetMedia can provide technical support, practical advice and expert answers.
Please check below for common computer issues and possible solutions. If you don't find the answers you need here, read through the frequently asked questions or browse the other articles and information available on the rest of our website, use the contact form to provide details of whatever issues you are having or call or drop by the INM offices.
Where is the link to my website editor?The exact location of this link can vary, but it is generally located at the very bottom of your web page, either to the far right or the far left. You will usually see three buttons or words: admin | refresh | webmail.
Admin takes you to the back end of your site where you can log in and then perform various tasks, like adding and deleting users, editing your site map and checking for messages from visitors. Once you have logged in, the word edit will appear in your list of options.
Navigate to the page where you want to make changes and click Edit to bring up the editing page. Refresh clears the cache and reloads the page. Webmail is where you can log in to your mail server.
Why do my e-mails keep bouncing back?There are many potential reasons why an e-mail might be deemed 'undeliverable'. The most common are:
1. The e-mail address is wrong
If you send an e-mail and it returns with a message like "user unknown" "no such user" or "no mailbox exists for that user", chances are you have made a mistake in typing the e-mail address. Check carefully and watch for those pesky dots, dashes and underscores that are often missed or misplaced.
If the return message states: "Could not resolve DNS" it means the domain part of the e-mail address is wrong. In other words, if the e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com, the company part is wrong.
I forget how to use the website editor. Can I get more training?We would be happy to train you on our easy-to-use SiteBuilder Tools.
In the meantime, if you can still log into the back end of your website, there is a Help page that has step by step instructions for many of the common editing tasks you likely want to perform.
If you need more assistance than this Help page provides, please contact INM to arrange a tutorial.
|2. The recipient's mailbox is full
If your e-mail comes back with a message like "the user is over quota" or "mailbox is full" the recipient has received the maximum amount of messages allowed and needs to go through his in-box. This often happens when someone is on vacation and unable to check their e-mail for several days or weeks.
To avoid having this happen to your customers and colleagues, have your mail automatically forwarded to someone else or set it up so you can check your e-mail remotely when you are away from your office for an extended period.
If you need help, contact INM and we'll walk you through the process.
How do I edit my web pages?Click Admin to log in and then go back to the website. Find the page that needs to be edited and click the Edit button to bring up the editing page.
Once there, it's similar to working in any word processor. You can add and delete text, add pictures and tables, link to other pages and change the look, size and colour of the text.
For more detailed instructions, logon to access our SiteBuilder Tools Help Menu. If you are new to web page editing, you want to contact INM to set up a training session.
|3. There is an issue with the server
If the bounce back message reads "Cannot connect to remote host" it means the server is not responding or is not available for some reason.
It's basically equivalent to a busy signal on a telephone. Like a busy signal, it could just mean that the server is busy trying to deal with several requests all at once or it could mean that there is an underlying problem preventing the server from responding.
Try to send your message again in a few minutes and if the problem persists, you may have to contact the recipient in some other way to let them know there is a problem with their server.
What are the e-mail server settings and can I change them?Incoming server: mail.inmca.com or mail.ewebcare.com
Outgoing server: mail.inmca.com or mail.ewebcare.com
POP3 port: 110 or 111
SMTP port: 25, 2525 or 587
Secure SMTP: 465 (not usually needed)
IMAP port: 143
Secure IMAP port: 993 (not usually needed)
User name is your e-mail address.
Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication, use same settings as incoming server.
Encryption: None
Leave a copy of the message on the server for 1 day if you are also using a cell phone or device to get e-mail as well.
Contact INM for more information about e-mail server settings.
|4. Your e-mail address is not on the recipient's safe list
If your e-mail bounces back with a message that says "No greeting from remote host" it probably means that the recipient's e-mail host didn't recognize your e-mail address and therefore wouldn't accept the message.
This happens when people have set up strict security on their e-mail server to prevent spam and other unwanted e-mails from getting through. You can resolve this by calling the recipient and requesting to be added to their list of safe or 'white listed' senders.
If you hear from the intended recipient that they 'just didn't get that e-mail' you know you sent, have them check their junk mail folder. Your messages may have been accidentally tagged as spam.
All the recipient has to do is right click on the message in the junk folder and select 'add to safe senders list' to resolve the problem.
How do I retrieve my password?When a website goes live and is handed over to the business owner or website administrator, that person will be provided with a username and password that allows them access to the administrative side of the website, mainly so they can edit the site.
If you have misplaced the password or if it needs to be changed for whatever reason, please contact INM for assistance.
How do I add a new user or administrator to my website?Logon to the back end of your website. Click Users, then Add New User and follow the steps.
For more detailed instructions, there is a SiteBuilder Tools Help Menu with information on a number of topics.
How do I direct messages from my website to a new e-mail address?The messages generated by the form on your contact page will be forwarded to a designated e-mail address so client inquiries can be dealt with in a timely manner.
From time to time, you may need to make changes to those e-mail addresses. For more detailed instructions, logon to access our SiteBuilder Tools and browse the Help Menu.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WTAQ) - Milwaukee County's low-income residents are scrambling to replace food benefits lost in the recent floods. Recipients in the state's Food-Share program have created long lines outside a Milwaukee human services center.
The state Department of Health Services has also created a phone line for recipients to replace part of their July food benefits. But the Journal Sentinel said folks were waiting an hour on the phone this morning to reach somebody who could help them.
Over 88-thousand Milwaukee County households are in the Food-Share program. Here's the phone number for the emergency benefit hotline – 1-888-947-6583.

McCain, Again; , W's Immigration Proposal Is a Human-Rights Imperative
strange is happening to John McCain. After a solid 18 months during which he
had been invisible except on Democratic issues, he suddenly reemerged last week
as a hard-line, even hyper-partisan, conservative. He sounds like Phil Gramm.
n In fact, he was working with Phil Gramm–to block a labor-sponsored measure
to keep Mexican trucks out of the United States.
Under NAFTA,
both Mexican and Canadian trucks are supposed to have free access to our roads,
just as we have free access to theirs. But secret protectionism is, and always
has been, America's trade policy. Visions of tequila-crazed yokels hogging
up the highways with their backfiring trucks have turned the Mexican truck issue
into a growth opportunity for DC demagogues. So, against the wishes of President
Bush, the Senate is pushing a regime under which Mexican trucks have to answer
to more regulations than do Canadian trucks. It's unfair. Trent Lott was
ineffectual and smarmy when he called the measure "anti-Hispanic"–but
he was not wrong.
What was
extraordinary about McCain's performance is that he did much more than
oppose the measure. Since it was the Teamsters who had pushed Democrats into
backing the anti-Mexican measure, McCain decried labor excesses. And he promised
to do his best to bottle the measure up before it could even go to conference.
McCain got
another chance to move rightward when the nomination of Mary Sheila Gall to
chair the Consumer Product Safety Commission came before the Senate Commerce
Committee, and was scuttled on a 12-11 party-line vote. That's too bad,
since the vendetta against Gall had been launched by Hillary Clinton; it's
also too bad since Gall's only sin in government had been her reluctance
to rubber-stamp every single trial-lawyer-friendly regulation that came her
way. But it was too bad mostly for Gall, and it's hard to explain the fury
of McCain's reaction, which had a whiff of the Clarence Thomas hearings
about it. "Gall came to her confirmation hearing," McCain said, "to
be tried for a handful of allegedly uncaring and heartless votes on children's
products. What she faced was a group of senators with rope in their hands."
Go, John, go!
What is
going on with McCain? Most likely he was caught off-guard by the last-minute
deal President Bush was able to strike with moderate Georgia Republican Charlie
Norwood on a Patients' Bill of Rights last week. Up until Wednesday night,
when he decided to back a Bush compromise, it appeared that Norwood would bring
an entire bloc of liberal Republicans and swing Democrats into line with Ganske-Dingell,
the House version of McCain's own liberal Senate bill. (McCain is cosponsoring
it with Ted Kennedy and North Carolina presidential hopeful Johnny Edwards.)
think McCain would be ticked off to see Bush putting the arm on Norwood. But
he's sure not acting like it. That gives us a good idea of the game he's
playing. McCain desperately wants to take the centrist position on every issue.
Well into last week, it looked like he'd done that masterfully on the Patients'
Bill of Rights. As long as the Republican-controlled House saw fit to pass its
own equivalent of Kennedy-McCain, McCain himself appeared to be merely an energetic
proponent of what most Americans think anyway. But as soon as Norwood pulled
out, he made inevitable Thursday's House passage of the Bush alternative
that will cap damages in HMO lawsuits at $1.5 million. Suddenly, McCain faced
the prospect of going into conference as the champion of the left-wing
nothing McCain can do about that now. But he can minimize the damage of being
seen as a toady to trial lawyers if he fires up his tort-reforming oratory before
the end of this week.
On Mexico,
it was worth asking whether President Bush was trying to pull off the same kind
of trick. He was stuck with the correct, the moral, but the unpopular view of
the Mexican truckers issue. This, in turn, was costing him support among the
Teamsters–the one major union that Republicans have had some success wooing
in his administration. An attempt to gain union support explains at least part
of the Bush outreach to legalize undocumented Mexican immigrants.
Until about
five years ago, it was an iron rule of American politics that labor unions and
illegal immigrants have opposed interests. Labor unions exist to get higher
wages (which is why business interests hate them) and illegal immigrants drive
wages down (which is why business interests love them). The Democrats were the
party that backed the former, the Republicans were the party that backed the
latter. But once John Sweeney became president of the AFL-CIO, the Democrats
showed they could organize illegal immigrants just as easily as legal ones.
(More easily, in some cases, since they're so often huddled together on
remote farms and in small urban factories.) It's still the exception rather
than the rule, but there are now parts of the country–like California–where
union members generally work with illegal immigrants, rather than try to throw
them off of work sites, as they did in Los Angeles at the height of the Rodney
King era.
If Bush
has a long-term strategy about this (and it's always hard to tell if he
has a long-term strategy about anything), Republicans are trying to execute
a similar rapprochement. By regularizing immigrants, Bush will make them subject
to American wage and benefit structures, and thus remove a lot of the downward
pressure on nonimmigrant wages.
This will
have unannounced effects, because there is an unspoken economic truth about
immigration. Everyone is always talking about how immigration helps the economy–which
it does, unless your idea of economic health is a high-wage society in which
a McDonald's hamburger costs seven dollars and a cup of coffee five.
why all the praise of "legal immigration" is misplaced. Jonah Goldberg
argued in the Arizona Republic two weeks ago, "The reason I'm
against the proposed Bush move is simple. I am a huge supporter of legal immigration,
and the only way you can have legal immigration is if you are serious about
dealing with illegal immigration. If illegal immigration continues–and
it surely will if this measure passes–it will be difficult to argue for
immigration of any kind."
that is, seems to want the "best" immigrants. This is the type of
immigration law Australians practice, and as the Germans reform their own residency
statutes, it's the type they're looking at most seriously. But it's
wrong-headed, and in fact, pace Goldberg, you can make a better economic argument
for illegal immigration than for legal.
immigrants help us precisely because they drive wages for certain kinds of menial
work down to their natural level. (I'm sure I'll get an argument
from labor economists on the word "natural"–so let's just
say they drive wages down to the point where you don't have to pay $7 for
that McDonald's hamburger.) Legal immigrants do no such thing. Those who
favor legal over illegal immigration make a logical error in comparing, say,
a Chinese physicist (who arrives with an invitation to work in a lab) to a Bolivian
goatherd (who arrives to work as a busboy). Of course, the former is going to
contribute more to the economy than the latter–but that answers a question
about social status and innovation, not about immigration.
The proper
comparison is between a Bolivian busboy and an American one, and then between
a Chinese physicist and an American physicist. The Bolivian busboy is an absolute
economic goldmine. Imagine that the restaurant he's working in has 20 employees,
and they're all illegals, making $4 instead of $12 an hour. If we remember
for a moment that your average restaurant start-up goes bust in a year or so,
we can see that, in most cases, the increment doesn't go right into the
owner's pocket. What that increment does is keep the business alive. Your
Chinese physicist, meanwhile, may help his laboratory, but he'll help it
in exactly the same way a physicist brought up in Dubuque would.
We are leaving
out one thing. Under this model, we're using the rights-lessness of our
Bolivian to exploit him. Given that the per capita income for goatherds in Bolivia
is probably about a tenth of what he'll make in America; given that he
can, by saving, send enough of his income home to make his mother a very rich
Bolivian indeed; and given that his kids will have access to American schools,
you'd have to be a real left-wing milquetoast to shed any tears over this.
But once
the guy has been in the country for, say, 10, 15 years, he's a typical
American in all respects except that he's not a citizen–and he's
getting screwed. He is, in short, a human rights problem. In floating the idea
of a Mexican amnesty, Dubya is doing nothing more than alerting us that, in
most cases, the proper context in which to view Mexicans is the 10-or-15-years-down-the-line
There are
two things we should consider as this amnesty takes on concrete form. First,
it's unfair, and even racist, under the terms of our Civil Rights Act of
1964, since it violates prohibitions against discrimination on grounds of national
origin. But that will be quickly fixed by the exigencies of vote-getting. To
pick some names out of a hat, Democratic Congressman Jim Moran of the Virginia
8th has next to no Mexicans in his district, but he has one of the handful of
most heavily Salvadoran populations in the country. They're the hardest-working
of all our immigrants, and most people who meet them can't tell them
apart from Mexicans. You won't get Moran's vote unless
you include Salvadorans. If there's a single Mexican living in the late
Joe Moakley's district, the Massachusetts 9th, I haven't met him;
but there are thousands of illegal Irishmen there, and anyone who doesn't
campaign on extending the amnesty to them will be dead in the water. So this
amnesty law is going to wind up extending to everyone, as it should. (That doesn't
mean Bush won't win some Latino brownie points for having thought of Mexicans
A second
point is that the amnesty will increase illegal immigration from everywhere
except Mexico and Canada. (That's because Bush envisions lifting the quotas
on those two countries.) Illegals will increase because once Mexicans already
here are regularized, they're going to be less inclined to do those four-dollar-an-hour
busboy jobs, and we're going to have to import a whole new bunch of foreigners
to do so.
But that
said, Bush's immigration proposal is a human-rights imperative. Not to
mention the bravest and most innovative immigration reform that any president
has broached in decades. Not to mention the highpoint of his presidency thus
