good…. enough said.
Meet someone new. Meet them because they are interesting. Meet them because they have an enticing smile, an interesting tattoo, or stomped in a puddle with more vigor than you've ever seen. Meet them because you wouldn't normally talk to them.
Simply have a conversation with someone you've not met before.
Why:This is as much for the people you're meeting as it is for you. We're starting The Brave New with a simple challenge that may be the most important of the entire project, as it involves breaking down social walls for you and, to some extent, the people around you. Why, as a society, haven't we made a habit out of knowing the people around us? Nothing bad will happen, to put it simplistically.
Bonus points!Make a friend. Make three friends! Make five friends! Don't make four friends. Four's a terrible number. In China, they don't have a fourth floor on most elevators, because the word for "four" sounds a lot like the word for "die". True story.
How many people that you meet can extend into actual relationships? Exchange phone numbers, email addresses, Facebook adds, and home address if you're so inclined, and don't if you're not. Remember, the world's not always a safe place, so use your discretion here.
Travels and Travails
by Nick
Right, anyway, I'm in New Zealand.
and that's a kiwi
I know I've been away for awhile, and I'm a bit sorry about that. But only a bit. Y'see, a weekend ago, I packed up everything I've got in LA into a storage unit, stuffed a bunch of it into a framepack, and trucked off across the Pacific. It is has been alternatively exciting and terrifying, and then I arrived.
Alright, so, it's not really a "meeting new people everyday" kind of month anymore, although that happens, pretty much by necessity – but is very much a Brave and New kind of month. What with never having done anything like this before.
People are very friendly here, and life's got a good seasoning of serendipity, but for now, I'm bloody exhausted from all that I've done in the past week and a half (first shower since last Tuesday today! and a real bed with a roof!), so this is the unexpected end.

Definition of suint in English:
suintSyllabification: su·int
Pronunciation: /ˈso͞oənt, swint /
A natural greasy substance in sheep's wool.
More example sentences
- To eliminate the suint, the wool is put into a concentrated soda bath, and it comes out of it entirely clean.
- This utilization of wool grease and suint is mainly practised in France, Belgium, and Germany, and in these countries this is done chiefly to prevent the pollution of the streams.
- It is further seen that the amounts of wool-fat and suint are considerably less in the slipe wools; this is only to be expected, for in the washing of the skins these matters are removed.
late 18th century: from French, from suer 'sweat'.

Bowel Prep (Colonoscopy Prep)
The key to an effective colonoscopy is good bowel preparation. Patients have many options, some of which work better for certain patients than for others. Some bowel preps include Golytely, Colyte, Nulytely, phospho-soda, sodium phosphate tablets, Osmo-Prep and Visicol. These induce bowel movements so the digestive tract is largely empty and is then visible through the camera during colonoscopy.

Braking News
The normal price for setting the overheads on a Series 60 is $355. Although they inform us that they normally don't charge extra for engines with Jake brakes, it's obvious that a trucker can save himself some money by getting the feeler gauges, injector setting tool, and socket and torque wrenches and doing this job himself.
Before starting, make sure the engine is cool – with oil temperature of 140 degrees F or less.
This procedure is for the Model 765 Jake brake used on Detroit Diesel Series 60s up until about four years ago.
- In order to access the overheads, the Jake housings must be removed. To do this, disconnect the electrical connector on each of the three housings. Then remove the two capscrews on one side and the single one on the other, and lift them off.
- Set the valves and injectors according to instructions in the Detroit Diesel manual.
- Once the valves and injectors have been set, make sure there is no oil in the boltholes. Blow them out with clean compressed air, if necessary.
- Lubricate the threads of all the capscrews with clean engine oil. Position each housing with the two capscrew holes on the exhaust valve side of the engine, and start the capscrews. Once each housing is in place and capscrews started, slide the housings around on the head to center their positions. This will help ensure that the brake will be perfectly aligned with the valve adjusters.
- Using a torque wrench only, torque the fasteners one by one to 40 pounds-feet. Then torque them to the required 90 pounds-feet. Reconnect the electrical connector on each.
- To adjust each cylinder, its exhaust valves must be on the base circle of the cam. Bar the engine over by the front crankshaft pulley to reposition it as necessary.
You can use the engine positioning guidelines Detroit Diesel supplies for setting each cylinder's exhaust valves to make the related Jake setting. Or you can turn the engine over until the exhaust rocker's roller, the one on the left on each cylinder, is on the base circle of the camshaft and completely off the cam lobe before adjusting the Jake parts for the valves of each cylinder.
- Work on the exhaust side of the engine. Adjust the "blind side" adjuster, via the slave piston on top of the housing. This is the adjuster on the left side that has no adjusting screw on top. Start by loosening the slave piston's adjusting locknut and then turning the screw outward. Then slide the required feeler gauge (0.026 inch) between the exhaust valve adjusting screw and the Jake actuator. Turn the adjusting screw back and forth with a screwdriver until there is a very slight pull as the gauge is slid between the parts.
Once the adjustment is correct, hold the screw with the screwdriver and gently tighten the locknut. Then torque the locknut with a torque wrench to 25 pounds-feet. It's important to torque properly, as the screw is hollow and may be distorted by overtorquing, which would impact brake operation.
- Now adjust the bridge that runs between the two valves by setting the adjustment on the other valve. This is done the same way, but right above the valve. Loosen the locknut, loosen up the bridge adjusting screw and slip the same 0.026-inch gauge between the valve adjusting screw and the bridge. Set the lash exactly as you did on the other side. Tighten and then torque the locknut in the same way.
- This basic procedure must be performed on the exhaust valves for each cylinder, making sure each rocker is in the right position before starting.
- Reconnect the electrical connectors. Then with the cam cover still off, start the engine and run it until the oil begins to warm up. Depress the armature, which is in the center of the top of the solenoid valve, to activate each several times and fill the housing with oil.
Note that every Jacobs engine brake has a label on it that gives the lash setting. The latest Jake for Detroit Diesels is the Model 790/795 (depending on the particular engine).
It uses two housings, each with six slave pistons rather than three. Each valve has its own slave piston, eliminating the bridge. Each slave piston is adjusted individually but in the same way as on the 765.
Jake brakes for other brands of engines are adjusted similarly. Jacobs will supply manuals giving specific torques and describe the slight individual variations in each adjustment procedure.
It's best to have a tune-up performed on an engine brake every 300,000 miles or 9,000 hours in typical highway service. In this procedure, critical parts are cleaned and inspected, and some perishable springs and control valves, and various related parts, are replaced. It's a complicated job best performed by a technician. At Penn Detroit Diesel, an engine brake tune-up costs about $200 for parts and $344 for labor, or $544.
Aftermarket installation
Installing an engine brake on an existing engine may seem quite basic. It bolts on the same way as the overhead adjustment. But most truckers use the services of a professional technician in getting an engine brake, because dealing with the wiring and switches can be a complicated job.
Because of the complicated electricals, Penn Detroit Diesel normally charges for about eight hours of labor for the job, or $688. The brake itself lists for $2,500.
After installation, the engine's ECM needs to be reprogrammed (or "reburned") so it will properly coordinate the operation of the brake with the engine rpm, pedal positions and ABS. This will cost another hour of labor ($86), and Detroit Diesel normally charges $400 for the electronic download; however, the download charge is often waived if the brake is purchased at the Detroit Diesel outlet where you are having the work done. The net cost, depending on labor rates where you are dealing, would normally be in the neighborhood of $3,200.

I have heard the term "orthogonal * validation" used recently. It was used in the context of experimental platform testing. What does this mean? I cannot find anything on it in literature or Wikipedia.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Cross Validated is a question and answer site for people interested in statistics, machine learning, data analysis, data mining, and data visualization. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Basically, it would seem that people use orthogonal as a synonym for independent. So, for orthogonal validation read independent validation The validity of equating orthogonality with independence is discussed here such that "if X and Y are independent then they are Orthogonal" but "the converse is not true".

Via Speleb:
U.S. Customs officials detained two-time British Olympic gold medal track star Mo Farah for questioning on suspicion of being a terrorist.
"I couldn't believe it," Farah told The Sun. "Because of my Somali origin I get detained every time I come through U.S. Customs."
U.S. Customs officials questioned Farah as he headed to Portland, Ore., to spend Christmas with his family. He moved there from Great Britain in 2011 to work with legendary trainer Alberto Salazar at Nike's headquarters.
Farah, 29, is a celebrity in Britain. He won gold medals in the 10,000m and 5,000m races at the 2012 London Olympics last summer.
But apparently, U.S. Customs officials had no idea who he was.
"This time I even got my medals out to show who I am, but they wouldn't have it," Farah said.
Eventually, Farah was released after U.S. border officials figured out the mistake and he was able to continue his travels.
Farah ran into problems on another occasion when he tried to get a residency permit to live in Portland.
"We got a letter telling us we're under investigation as a terrorist threat and we would have to stay away for 90 days," Farah said.
Farah had to call Salazar to straighten things out.
"As luck would have it Alberto has a friend who works for the FBI," Farah said. "This guy happens to be a massive running fan, knew exactly who I was and got it sorted then and there."
Reports: Farah detained at customs

TEAMS: Buffalo Bills
Originally snubbed from the AFC Pro Bowl roster, the Buffalo Bills now have three players representing them in Hawaii; C.J. Spiller, Jairus Byrd, and Kyle Williams will replace Ray Rice, Ed Reed, and Haloti Ngata from the Ravens, respectively. The three players selected come as no surprise to loyal and die-hard Bills fans alike, as these three players were the most consistent in their levels of play all season (you could also throw in rookie CB Stephon Gilmore, who picked up his play late in the season and wide receiver Stevie Johnson, who became the only Bills wide receiver in history to record three consecutive 1,000 yard seasons). The time is now for the Bills to show they are moving away from the mediocrity they settled for in the past three season under the tutelage of Chan Gailey, and that they are moving in the right direction to start winning again, starting with the Pro Bowl.… Read more

Great moments in marketing: Beneventum
Waaaaay back when, before there was a Roman Empire, Rome was a small city state and it got into a war with a neighboring people called the Samnites. They had a series of brutal wars but ultimately Rome conquered Samnium and absorbed it into its growing territory. One of the cities they conquered was called Maleventum by the Romans (it may have been Maloentum originally… remember in Latin V sounds like W, so oe Malo-entum and malo-wentum are pretty similar).
Anyway, in Samnian (which I think is classified as an Oscan language, a dead form of Indo-European, similar to Latin), Maloentum probably just meant something like Mountain Marketplace. But to Latin speakers, Maleventum could mean Bad Wind or Bad Event, depending on how you split it up. Suffice it to say that when the Romans took over and wanted to encourage people to move there, a name like "Bad Wind" was not going to really do the job.
So, with typical Roman directness, they changed the name to Beneventum, i.e., Good Winds, and voila, we have the modern town of Benevento to this day.

20 Dividend Stars Among the Mid-Cap Crowd
Electronics retailer RadioShack (RSH), one of 10 Retail Stock Losers of 2011, has been slumping for quite some time, as sales are actually lower than they were back in 2002. Yet even without any signs of sales improvements, RadioShack has still tossed off lots of profits. Operating cash flow has been above $300 million for each of the last five years.
The current annual payout of 50 cents was hiked this fall from 25 cents, where it stood for eight straight years, securing RadioShack's spot as one of the highest-yielding retail stocks. Still, the company also has enough money left over to maintain a longstanding stock buyback program as well. Shares outstanding have fallen for eight straight years, from 173 million back in 2002 to a recent 100 million.Yet this retailer has seen sales drop even further in recent months. As a result, the company earned just 11 cents to 13 cents in the fourth quarter, well below the 37 cents a share that analysts had been expecting. Shares were crushed down to around $7, a level not seen since the early 1990's. >>6 Stocks Reaping the Benefits of Big Buybacks The question for investors: What does the quarterly shortfall mean for the dividends and the buybacks? It's worth tracking what management has to say about the topic. If the dividend will be maintained at current levels, then the effective yield is now a hefty 6.9%. Management may choose to cut the dividend and focus on the buybacks. Either way, this is shaping up to be an intriguing value play, and you can look for rumors to resurface that the board will look to sell the company or take it private.

"I don't really have any favorites yet," said Pocic, a Scout.com four-star recruit ranked as the No. 23 prospect in the Midwest. "I'll have a top five by the end of this month and I'd like to commit somewhere by the end of July. I just want to focus on my senior season and winning a championship.
"I'd like to come and play by my second year," he said. "I don't mind redshirting, but I don't want to wait too long. I'll be looking closely at their strength training program and the coaches. Things like location and distance don't matter."
Pocic favors Notre Dame, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Florida State and Florida. He says they've all offered, except the Irish. He also has offers from Penn State, Tennessee, Boston College and several others.
"I grew up watching Notre Dame," he said. "I loved watching them on TV because they were always on and they have great tradition. But just because they are a school that I used to watch doesn't mean that I'm going to go there. That's not going to affect my decision at all."
The Irish are only two hours from his home. "They've been talking with me a lot, but they haven't offered yet," Pocic said.
His first scholarship offer was from in-state favorite, Illinois. "I like that I'd be able to come in and start right away," Pocic said. "I like what coach Ron Zook has done there. They have a lot of intensity at practices now and they've brought in a lot of great players."
Pocic's former teammate, (offensive center) Dave Molk, signed with Michigan in February. "He's going there and is really excited about them," he said. "I love their o-line tradition and the Big House is one of the biggest stadiums in the Big Ten."
Another Big-10 school that Pocic likes is Iowa. "It's a really nice place and I like how it's a college town."
The two schools in the South that Pocic likes are Florida and Florida State. "It's a different type of football down there," he said. "They have a lot of speed and are very athletic. They compete against the best teams every week.
"I like that Florida won the national championship last year and they should be competitive for a while.
"Florida State has the highest paid offensive line coach (Rick Trickett) in the country and he has tons of linemen in the pros. He's a great guy."
Pocic benches 350 pounds, squats 455 and has a 29-inch vertical jump. "I'm a good run blocker and am very aggressive and can stay low," Pocic said. "I like to hit and can run down people well. I run the 40 in 5.3 seconds.
"I'm working on my footwork and my pass blocking," he said. "I'd also like to get stronger and pick up blitzes faster."
He reports a 2.8 core GPA and a 22 ACT.

Around the world in 113 days· Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada· Cadiz, Spain· Casablanca, Morocco· Takoradi, Ghana· Cape Town, South Africa· Port Louis, Mauritius· Chennai, India· Singapore· Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam· Hong Kong / Shanghai, China· Yokohama / Kobe, Japan· Honolulu / Hilo, Hawaii, USA· San Diego, California, USADr. Jeremy Stringer, Professor and Program Director for the Student Development Administration, was selected to be Dean of Students onboard the MV Explorer, a floating campus for more than 670 students, faculty and staff that would circumnavigate the globe for 113 days in the fall of 2010. While he witnessed a bull fight, walked along the Great Wall, broke fast with locals on the final eve of Ramadan, kissed a fish while crossing the Equator, and went on a hunt for the "Big 5" in South Africa, it was the compassion of the students, the humbleness of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and the expressions of humanity that made this journey of a lifetime one of discovery and hope.
Most of my friends have a list of things we would like to do sometime in our lifetime. Sometimes called a "bucket list," I call mine My Lifetime Goals. Near the top of my list for over a decade has been to sail around the world.
Last fall I had the opportunity to sail as the Dean of Students on the Semester at Sea. I jumped at it! The Semester at Sea is a non-profit educational enterprise that has conducted around-the-world educational endeavors since 1963. The voyage I was on was the 103rd. Our itinerary was mind-boggling. We sailed from the Atlantic coast of North America across to Spain, then down the west coast of Africa, stopping in Morocco, Ghana and South Africa. We then continued on to the island nation of Mauritius (home of the extinct Dodo), and from there we went to India, Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Japan, and Hawaii, before returning to North America. In my case, I travelled 31,000 miles in 113 days, and visited a total of 15 ports in 12 different countries while sailing across three oceans.
On our voyage, in addition to the crew of the ship, were 602 students from several different countries (but most from the U.S.), 72 faculty and staff, three dozen "lifelong learners," and one Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Random Acts of KindnessThis was a voyage of discovery for me. I learned an incredible amount about the world, about my fellow voyagers, and about myself. Sometimes what I learned was troubling, often deeply so. The problems of the world are manifold, and seeing many of them first-hand is a sobering experience. But the voyage was also a voyage of hope. I have many examples of both large and small things that have given me consolation, not desolation, about the future of what Thomas Friedman has called our hot, flat and crowded planet.
First, let me share a small vignette that illustrates the transformative power of engaging our students with the larger world. My wife, Susan, joined us in Cape Town, South Africa. On our first night there, we participated with about 25 others from our voyage in a "jazz safari." What we expected was an opportunity to have dinner in a jazz club and listen to various professional musicians. That's not what we got. Instead we got one of the most indelible memories of the entire voyage.
First of all, we did not go to any Cape Town jazz clubs. Instead, we went to the Gugulethu Township outside of Cape Town. During the apartheid era, Blacks were not permitted to live in Cape Town. But because there was a need to house large numbers of migrant workers, several townships were created. Gugulethu is one of the oldest. In bygone days, several men would share a small room, and poverty, disease and violence characterized their daily lives. Today, conditions are still troubling in the townships. According to data collected by the South African Institute of Race Relations over 700 people were murdered in Gugulethu between 2005 and 2010. So this is not a resort, by any means
The residents of the first house greeted us warmly, and they provided us a wonderful home-cooked meal. Before, during, and after dinner, we talked with them about the township and several musicians from the township played for us. It was a wonderful human connection. After some coaxing, three students got up the courage to jam with the musicians. We were enjoying ourselves, but were unprepared for what was in store for us at our next stop on the "safari."
The next venue was a performance area bounded by walls of cinder block and tarps. The group that created it also runs an arts program for children in the township to keep them out of trouble. Inside, a group known as the Volcanoes was performing jazz numbers.
As at the previous venue some of our students decided to jam with the Volcanoes. One of the students, Alyssa, had brought along her trumpet. As she blended into the all-male group, she was struck by the mesmerizing virtuosity of the male trumpet player, whose trumpet was cracked and held together by tape, yet still made beautiful music. After two hours, as we were getting ready to leave, Alyssa's fellow trumpet player asked if he could look at her trumpet. He looked at it for a minute and handed it back, saying, "Very nice horn." Then she just instinctively reacted to the whole situation and after putting her trumpet in its case, said, "Here, I want you to have it." To say that he was stunned was an understatement. Incredulous, he reached down and hugged her.
Susan and I were overwhelmed by Alyssa's generous heart, as well as by the reaction of the trumpet player to this unexpected gift. We couldn't hear everything he said to her, but Alyssa told me later that he said he has had a very hard life, and her act of kindness had given him a sense of hope and joy that he had not often experienced. Alyssa's act of generosity surprised her almost as much as it did the trumpet player, and she was humbled by his reaction. When we got back to the ship, one of Alyssa's friends told her, "If he can play his horn like that, imagine what he will be able to do with yours." And imagine the transformation among people that is made possible by one with a generous heart.
Many more examples from our voyage give me hope for the world and its people. Some of these came from our students and their passion for creating peace and justice, and some came from people we encountered. One of our students formed an Amnesty International group on board the ship and mobilized all voyagers to write letters condemning human rights violations around the world. A group of students installed a water filtration system in rural Ghana. Others gave away soccer balls. Still others volunteered their time at orphanages, joined groups to build homes for the homeless or gave away their own clothing to people in need.
Interacting with the localsOur voyage went to many countries with emerging and developing economies. What that meant was that those of us from the U.S. and other advanced economies were generally seen as rich, even though most of us would not have considered ourselves so. Because of this, and sometimes also because of language barriers, it was often a challenge for all of us to get beyond transactional encounters with the residents in developing countries in order to have an authentic interaction. Barriers were there on both sides of the equation, but there are many examples of how individual students and faculty and staff were able to move across this divide.
Little gestures meant a lot. It was so simple, but the greeting we received from a Moroccan man in the Kasbah, "welcome to Rabat," was so friendly and sincere, it created a positive tone for our entire visit to that beautiful city. In Japan, my friends and I got lost while trying to make a train connection to Kobe. A Japanese man, seeing our dilemma, didn't just give us directions; he walked with us for about a half mile, to make sure we got to our destination. I have vowed to remember how grateful I was for this and repay him by doing the same for visitors to Seattle whenever I have the chance.In addition to these one-on-one interactions, I have hope for the future based on my experiences in two countries against which we waged war, Japan and Vietnam.
In Japan I was part of a group that took the bullet train to Hiroshima to visit the Peace Memorial Museum. I did not know what to expect the museum to be like, but I would not have been surprised to see some anti-American artifacts, especially since I have seen anti-Japanese and anti-German artifacts in the World War II exhibits in U.S. museums. But in the entire museum there was no anti-American sentiment. What there was, instead, was a sobering account of the damage done by the Atomic bomb's blast, the conflagration it ignited, and the radiation that came afterward. The message of the museum is the necessity of peace.
After the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, people felt it would be many generations before the Hiroshima earth would allow new things to grow. That turned out to be wrong. There is a phoenix tree that was growing near the epicenter of the bomb's blast. Although one side of the tree was hollowed out by the blast, the tree is still alive and still producing seeds, many of which have been sent to schoolyards all over Japan as an enduring image of the need for peace.
As a first-time visitor to Vietnam, I wondered how the people there now felt about Americans. I went to college in the '60's, and the Vietnam War (or, as they say in Vietnam, the American War) is still vivid in my memory. The haunting photo of Kim Phúc as a 9-year-old, naked girl who had just been seared with napalm is imprinted in my memory, as it is in the minds of many of my friends from that time. In Vietnam myself for the first time I was heartened to discover that we were greeted warmly and that the prevailing attitude toward Americans was energetically positive. The main museum in Ho Chi Minh City, now called the War Remnants Museum, displays ample evidence of American (and South Vietnamese) atrocities during "the American War." Still, Americans seem popular in Vietnam, giving me hope that our country, if it is true to its core values, can use its power for world unity and peace.
Powerful lessons learnedA final message of hope I took away from my experience on the Semester at Sea is the power of forgiveness. The tone for this was set by the unforgettable experience of sailing around the world with Archbishop Tutu and his wife, Leah Tutu. Archbishop Tutu (or Arch, as he encouraged us to call him) and Leah both radiate incredible joy and love for others. His laugh is one of the most amazing sounds I have ever heard. It comes from deep in his soul and is entirely genuine with no vestige of artifice.
Arch and Leah took many of their meals in one of the ship's large open dining rooms, and were open to having other voyagers join them, and many did so during the voyage. After a few days of sailing, though, the Tutus were treated like any other voyagers. My own most frequent contact with Arch was high-fiving or fist-bumping as we would pass each other in the hallway. But despite Arch's approachability and informality (his normal clothing consisted of shorts and tennis shoes), everyone was well aware of his stature in the world community and the honor of having Arch and Leah sail with us.
Archbishop Tutu's incredible personal presence, joyful and humble, added to the power of his message of reconciliation when he did speak to the community. He spoke in the Global Studies class I attended about apartheid in South Africa and about his struggles, and those of other South Africans, in the post-apartheid era. He was asked about whether he had a bodyguard during the troubles in South Africa. His response was that he asked God, "God, am I doing your work?" God's answer to him was that he was; therefore, he needed no other bodyguard.
There were several other times that Archbishop Tutu spoke to the community, or came to individual classes. Reconciliation was a common theme. We had the tragic situation of having a student die on board the ship (the first in the history of the Semester at Sea). Archbishop Tutu delivered the main talk at the memorial service we held on board the ship, which we taped and sent to the deceased student's parents. He also delivered the Commencement address at our graduation ceremony. What a treat for our graduates (and us)!
The last Sunday before we arrived home in San Diego, our religious life coordinator told me she had invited Archbishop Tutu to give the sermon for the Christian worship service that night. She was wondering if she should let the ship know about it, or just have the regular two-dozen or so worshippers show up as usual. We decided on the latter. Imagine the worshippers' surprise when Archbishop Desmond Tutu himself delivered the sermon! Although he had participated in the worship service before, and was one of the few people to show up for the blessing of the ship when we sailed (I was another), this was the only time he delivered a strictly religious message during the entire voyage.
Everyone might expect to come away hopeful after a semester of interactions with Archbishop Tutu, but my hope springs as much from the exchanges I had with the students on the voyage. Alyssa, generously giving away her trumpet, is only one example of many that I could have shared. So many students today want to make a difference in the world. It is our job as educators to help them develop the knowledge and skills, and the habits of mind, which will enable them to use their special gifts to address the world's needs.
In retrospect, I understand how self-serving my "bucket list" goal of sailing around the world was. Going forward, I have added a revised goal at the top: through my work with students, help them use their unique talents to make the world a better place! My journey as a dean on the Semester at Sea has given me great hope for how many positive things this generation of students can accomplish.

Retro Revamped, Backstage At Burberry
"A modern version of the sixties feel" is how Wendy Rowe, Christopher Bailey's go-to makeup artist, described the beauty look backstage at Burberry—a show that was designed in homage to Jean Shrimpton. And there were hints of Britain's early-sixties model muse in the sculpted brows Rowe filled in with Burberry Eye Shadow in Taupe Brown and the near perfect skin she constructed using its Foundation and soon-to-debut Concealer. Also era-appropriate: hairstylist Neil Moodie's middle parts, which he coated with Bumble and Bumble's Prep Spray and its Styling Lotion, skipping the slight teasing preferred by Shrimpton and her cohorts in the heyday of high hair. But the wash of earthen pigment on eyes and lips was totally twenty-first century. Layering Burberry Sheer Eye Shadow in Almond and Antique Rose on lids, Rowe dusted its new-for-spring Blush Light Glow in Earthy across cheekbones, pressing its forthcoming Lip Mist in Copper 02 onto pouts for a moisturized, slightly tinted glow before applying a few lashings of its Effortless Mascara. The whole package made for an impression that was decidedly un-retro—a welcome counterpoint to Bailey's nostalgic Dalmation-print caps.

Congressman Denham Addresses Valley Issues at Hearing Examining Specialty Crop Programs for the 2013 Farm Bill
WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) today raised questions about specific issues relevant to California and the Central Valley's agriculture industry at a public hearing held by the House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Horticulture, Research, Biotechnology and Foreign Agriculture to examine specialty crop priorities for the 2013 Farm Bill. The Subcommittee heard from growers and representatives of the specialty crop community on the effectiveness of the current programs within the Subcommittee's jurisdiction.
Last summer, the Agriculture Committee reported H.R. 6083, the Federal Agriculture, Reform, and Risk Management Act (FARRM). The FARRM Act achieved $35 billion in savings to reduce the federal deficit, while expanding popular and successful programs that recognize the diversity of U.S. specialty crops, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, horticulture, and nursery crops.
Panelists included Ms. Sarah M. Frey-Talley, President and CEO, Frey Farms, Keenes, Illinois; Mr. William L. Brim, President and Owner, Lewis & Taylor Farms, Inc., Tifton, Georgia; and Mr. Barry Bushue, Vice President, American Farm Bureau Federation, President, Oregon Farm Bureau Federation, Boring, Oregon.

It's been a while since we've posted and some big changes have happened since then. We made a big move from California to Idaho for Justin's new job with Northwestern Mutual Financial and to be closer to Justin's brother and nieces. It all happened really quickly. It all started in February when we decided to start looking at making a move. We came to Idaho to visit and have Justin interview with a few companies during the first week of March and we left with Justin having accepted a position with Northwestern Mutual.
After paperwork was finished, background check completed and a drug test passed we had exactly two weeks to plan, pack and move to Idaho. We left California on April 6, and with a stopover in Winnemucca, NV for the night arrived at our new home on April 7, 2013.
Just before leaving our house in California for the last time.
We stopped as we crossed into Idaho to commemorate our big move.
It's been exactly a month since we arrived and we have had a blast here. We've been making friends, visiting new places and we even joined the local YMCA which is pretty dang cool. It even has a water slide and wading pool for the little kids. We can't wait to see what other fun stuff our new adventure has in store for us.

Turtle Shell boombox
I love Kickstarter.
There is so much cool stuff on there, and a few months ago I came across the Turtle Shell. With a $100 pledge, I secured my Red Turtle Shell, and now a few months later it came today.
It's so fucking great.
It's a bluetooth mini boombox, a little bigger than an iphone and it sounds so good, and it gets insanely loud. I've wanted a Jawbone Jambox for a while but could never really justify getting it. What made me get a Turtle Shell was that its meant for outdoor use so it's rugged and waterproof. It also came with a clamp that attaches to bikes or practically anything else.
I'm gonna have fun with this thing.

Steel Drag Chain
The barrels are welded to the link plates, making a simple and strong structure.
The chains themselves are heavy and their
undersides are wide, so they can be used to convey hard, heavy materials.
The fronts of the barrels are vertical, so that they can push materials forward effectively, and so that the chain does not climb above the materials.

On Saturday 8 February, a youthful, energetic crowd gathered at the Impact Hub Westminster for The Enventure Festival, a social enterprising event hosted by Bridge Global. The majority of the two hundred or so gathered in the Hub were students or those fresh out of university looking for inspiration and entrepreneurial insight from leading members of London's business scene. The event also played host to adventurers such as Neil Laughton, famous for his escapades involving the first flying car among other things, who urged the audience to take chances and opt for the often less "safe" and "stable" road that more often leads to fulfillment and success.
Attendees also took advantage of speaking with those around them, networking and chatting about the days events during breaks and the panel discussions. While the day may have focused on social enterprising, it ultimately did more by inspiring those in attendance to seize the opportunities in front of them and take advantage of what can be a very exciting and fruitful part of their lives while using their energy to help others.

When I returned to driving, I wasn't thrilled about the prospect, but I did everything I could to tilt the odds in my favor. I kept my trips to a minimum, during daylight hours, when traffic was light. I deliberately didn't buy another child seat and I made it plain that I wouldn't be doing chauffeur duty for my clone until I was considerably improved. I avoided high speeds, crowded freeways, and when it snowed I stayed indoors. Statistically, I set myself up to succeed. I was particularly cheered by the fact that I often went a fairly long time between experiencing anything that even threatened to turn into a collision situation. The odds were definitely in my favor. Hundred to one.
But the tricky thing about hundred-to-one situations is this: there's still that one.

Double award today for Forester
Dec 2 , 2008 [Australia]
The new generation Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Subaru Forester has picked up its second Australian award in 24 hours.
The Fairfax automotive website Drive.com.au announced that Forester has won its Peoples Choice Award.
Drive.com.au said: Subarus Forester compact 4WD has halted the Holden Commodores run of popularity in Drives Peoples Choice award.
Thousands of Drive.com.au readers voted the new-generation version of the Japanese softroader their favourite vehicle out of the 42 vehicles comprising Drives 2008 Car of the Year field.
The Forester becomes the first imported car to win Drives Peoples Choice award after the locally built Commodore took out the 2006 and 2007 titles, with the Commodore SS-V and Berlina models respectively.
Fairfax National Drive Editor, Toby Hagon, said the result is reflective of changing Australian tastes, which is seeing people migrate to crossover vehicles.
"Australians have taken to vehicles like the Subaru Forester because, in many ways, it is the modern family car.
"It has the space and flexibility people want along with the economy of a four-cylinder engine and the ability to tackle dirt tracks or snow. It's also very competitively priced, well equipped and comes with a full complement of safety gear that's helped earn it a maximum five-star safety rating.
Drive.com.au added: The result reflects how the Forester has this year replaced the Toyota RAV4 as Australias best-selling small 4WD thanks to its combination of family practicality and proven all-wheel-drive mechanicals.
Earlier today it was announced that Forester had been voted Best Compact SUV in the Carsales Network Peoples Choice Awards. In the Carsales awards, votes are collected from the Carsales Networks websites including CarPoint.com.au and Redbook.com.au.

Your Moon, My Ocean
Should I compare your love to the ocean?
One heart beating with such fluid motion,
with such smooth waves flowing from the sea.
Their white trickling foam washing over me.
Till your soft currents drag me out to you,
floating peacefully on soft shades of blue.
But if you're my ocean than I'll be your moon,
Looking down from the sky bright at night's noon.
With my heart beating strong to give you light,
Till the sun comes to bring an end to night.
Though that's the moment most precious of all,
cause as the sun rises, I get to fall,
fall towards my ocean till our lips meet!
My Sea, falling in love has been so sweet

What I Ate
Wednesday Monday
I'm still going strong with the "meatless Monday" goal, so today's eats are all vegetarian friendly!
Apple Cinnamon French Toast Oatmeal
Last week when I had my mixed berry French toast oatmeal, it sparked my French toast oatmeal craving to repeat over and over again! So Monday I made my apple version, which was fantastic!
I let it cool a bit before removing it from my bowl and I just loved how it popped out like a real baked French toast! You could also bake this in the oven for the same result if you have a little more time on your hands!
Dunkin' Donuts Coffee
It was Monday so coffee was required. I drink my coffee black with cinnamon and a couple ice cubes…best way in my opinion!
Ginger Popcorn
I've been loving this popcorn snack!!
Bean Salad
I made a massive salad full of romaine, spinach, kale, cucumber, tomato, bell peppers, edamame, Great Northern beans, and pinto beans.
I also had a pear Chobani to end my meal for a little sweetness and a little extra protein!
Baby Carrots, Hard Boiled Egg, Almonds
Veggie power, healthy fats, and protein perfecto!
Eggplant Burgers
I saw Kristen blog about these eggplant tempeh burgers, and asked her to send me the recipe. She included some tempeh and swapped out the liquid smoke for barbecue sauce. I took her up on these change-ups and made these burgers just like she did!
I served my burgers in romaine lettuce cups, a sweet potato and peanut butter on the side, along with some fresh asparagus from Matt's mom's garden!
The burgers were super tasty!
Chobani Bite with Chocolate NuttZo, Banana NuttZo Mini Muffin topped with PF NuttZo and a Frozen PB&J Bite
Yes, I am still 6 years old and really enjoy bite sized food! It's so easy to snack on and pack up…plus things are cute mini sized :)
Thank you to Jenn for hosting this great WIAW party! Head on over to her site to check out more daily eats!

29 Comments
Maxwell, are you looking for new dining chairs for yourself?
Da Cherner side chair. Drool.
No Marcel Breuer Cesca Chairs? No Brno chairs?
I might have to disagree
Maybe we should vote on this...?
Great list! If you like this list... check out ListAfterList.com.
There are thousands of lists just like it there.
It is a great new Web site where YOU can find and create lists about anything and everything!
Post your own version of this list or something similar! And then let people add to to it and edit it by making it a wiki list.
the Enzo and the Milan at Room & Board.
The Cherner is my money-no-object chair, i.e. I will never own one, alas. I don't like it with the arms though.
For people on a budget, some of the other bent ply chairs seem nice, like the Blu dot chair chair, the Tierra chair, or the Jake chair (cb2?). It would be great if someone could comment on their construction quality.
I have one Prouvé Standard chair (DWR floor sale is the only way I could afford it). The design is beautiful, but when I pull it in as an extra dining chair it gets tedious to sit in for a long dinner.
We have vintage Bertoia's at our table and I find them reasonably comfortable. It seems to me that the new ones are less flexible than the vintage ones - which is way less comfy! Plus the vintage chairs can be found for a lot less money. I think we paid $600 for four of them three years ago in Phoenix (with vinyl pads).
The Wegner chair would be my dream choice. They are comfy, gorgeous, timeless, and expensive!
I fell for the Supernatural chairs... the ones with holes in the back. Best part will be to use them outside when it is summer again.
They are comfortabel and upright, but a little flexible and not suitables for leaning with the front legs off the floor.
I second the Brno and Breuer comment--tubular steel chairs have a slight give to them that makes them more comfortable than wood. I have a pair of old Mies MR side chairs and they're very good over the long haul.
I am fond of Thonet, and so would add the Vienna Chair and the Czech Arm Chair (and side chair):
The Alvar AAlto 611 Chair and Eames DSR Eiffel too...
(love the Wishbone and the Camogli)
I had two Wegner Wishbone chairs once. They're comfortable but a little wide for a table in a most city apartments.
Hooray for floor and sample sales!
Wishbone chairs-very classy.
This chair makes me drool and I would like to sit in it naked:
I wouldn't though.
blu dot is doing a fold-your own flat-pack chair that I totally want. In red. For $99. But it doesn't seem to be available quite yet.
I meant to give the link: http://www.bludot.com/Browse_Products/Seating/product/Real_Good_Chair
Nice list. I'd say the $229 CB2 Hippie arm chair is maybe "Middle" no? >$1000 for four chairs (including taxes) seems pretty close to lux to me.
Though I'd much rather have the hippies, I bought four solid wood chairs with a basic solid wood dining table new from the old IK for $100 in comparison. I'm just sayin' is all. That's lower.
By the way, does anyone have those hippie arm chairs? Do they stack? are they comfy?
Marten Van Severen's chair is the unsung winner of the dining room chair contest... you really ought to check him out at the Vitra store... or is there something about this great chair I'm missing out on?
Eames DCM/DCW molded plywood chairs!
They are the most comfortable dining chairs I have ever owned. I recently put them to the test by spending 8 hours/day sitting at the kitchen table while studying for an exam, with no butt pain whatsoever. We have them in ebony, but with the new cute colors available this year, I might have purchased them in yellow or green instead!
What about the Emeco Navy Chair? I just moved into my new condo and I've put in Wenge coloured floors. I think the navy chairs will give me just the right amount of pop.
Now if I can only find a dining table narrow enough for my room!
I'm almost hesitant to post this...these babies good enough to want to keep to myself:
Not so into the metal version...but Oiled MDF?!?!? Hotttttttttttt.
That's the Roadrunner by Double Butter, btw. woot.
Those chairs *are* hot. Where can you get them?
I have checked all the links but can't seem to identify the chair to the right of the Prouve. Am I missing something here? Help!
My parents had 8 Breuer chairs... I took them when I moved into my new apartment because they suited my place so well, so they bought themselves wishbone chairs to replace the ones I took. Now I want to trade!
that is the camogli chair... (you have to steer yourself a bit on the troy website to find them).
Hey wp,
The full site (which you should check out anyways) includes information on how and where to buy. It's not cheap, but you can basically custom order anything you want direct from them:
It's essentially two guys in Denver. Absurdly high-quality, American designed and manufactured.
Since I eat dinner in front of the tellie I can only comment on my desk chair - an Eames Plywood side chair: SO comfortable. It was preceded by an Eames plastic side chair: also SO very comfortable.
But DWR has the Arne Jacobsen Series 7 chair - it is heavenly! I mean... my butt sent me a thank you note after I sat in it :) And somehow its miles better than all the cheap knockoffs you see out there (my previous, previous desk chair was a knock-off Series 7 from Urban Outfitters.. blech, left it on the sidewalk when I moved).
We love our Bellini chairs (http://dwr.com/productdetail.cfm?id=0044) with a stainless steel gurney-style table. Comfy, cool, kid- and mess-friendly.
Okay, since we're all sharing our chair sources....
Last spring I was on the hunt for metal dining chairs, reasonably priced. I considered collecting vintage Goodform, etc., at flea markets; but found a company online that refurbishes office furniture, and went with a set of McDowell & Craig side chairs. They finished and upholstered the chairs for me. I must say it was nice to have it all taken care of-typically I would be DIY.
If you're interested in them, I'll tell you that the chairs are a little smaller than I expected. We had to get used to sitting up quite properly, instead of lounging as we did with our old chairs. But they're comfortable enough. The refurbishing was professional, and they do have a lot of fabrics to choose from. I don't remember the exact price, but I think it was under $300 per chair including shipping.
But in my dream apartment, my table is surrounded by a set of Cherner armchairs.

Nike Air Foamposite One Metallic Pewter
October 20th, 2010 by Aaron Hope | 34 comments
Earlier today, Sneaker News showed you a sneak peak at the Metallic Pewter Nike Air Foamposite One in shots both outside and side-by-side with the OG Dark Neon Royal pair. All teasing aside, these have gotta be up there with some of the most beloved Foam colorways, with the satiny matte finished upper perfectly resembling the metal from which they get their name. These are scheduled to hit retailers in Spring 2011 along with the OGs, and just as is the case with that already iconic colorway, these joints are inevitably going to pop up early from select retailers. Case in point: you can already grab sizes 8-12 somewhere between 3-6 months early (official release date TBA) from Marquee Sole, so check out the detailed gallery after the jump and let us know what you think of this metallic colorway.

I know I have asked about this before but the links from prior posts are not working.
I need some free software to recover data from a usb pen / memory stick.
It recognises the usb pen but when I go to double click on it, it prompts me to erase it ( which I obviously do not want to do ) due to the data on the usb memory stick that I need.

from The Way I Sew It
PDF Digital Download
Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
This pattern was inspired by a vintage quilt made by my grandmother, Lillian. I was intrigued by its unique block, which resembled a ring of four lilies. Fellow blogger and quilter Sandi Walton of piecemealquilts.com saw my blog post about discovering the quilt and recreated the block in EQ. The quilt design was then given a modern spin by setting the blocks on point, where they appear to float on a light background. Pattern includes step-by-step instructions, helpful tips, and photographs for successful cutting and piecing from templates.
I learned to sew when I was very young, starting with doll clothes and then clothing for myself. I have been interested in fabric crafts ever since. A few years ago, I became most interested in making quilts. I am inspired by both traditional and modern quilts, and I think some of the most appealing have elements of both!
