Joinery certificate
Entry-level trades training
At UFV, we can help put together the framework for a successful joinery career.
The Joinery program will prepare students for entry into the provincial apprenticeship program, as well as directly into employment. Students will get a thorough introduction to the trade and will be encouraged to develop creative skills when designing and building their shop projects. As well as learning to work with traditional hand and power tools, students will be introduced to the type of equipment found in today's commercial woodshops, such as CNC Routers, Edgebander, multi head boring machine, and wide belt thickness sander.
Theory and shop procedures are set up to simulate job conditions, so punctuality and good work habits are essential. Upon completion of this program students will receive credit for Level 1 Joinery and will be eligible to challenge the ITA standard level exam to receive credit for Yr 2.
Concurrent studies option
UFV allows high school students to complete this program through a concurrent studies model during their grade 12 year. For more information, contact your district/school career counsellor. You may also contact the UFV Trades & Technology Centre at 604-847-5448 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Employment opportunities
After successfully completing the program, students will be prepared for employment opportunities that exist in the cabinet industry and related businesses such as interior finishing and trimming, furniture manufacturing,
and cottage industries. A career in the joinery trade offers good opportunities for those who are willing to spend several years learning the trade.
Entrance requirements
1. B.C. Secondary school graduation or equivalent.
2. Successful completion of a math and reading comprehension entrance exam.

Re-admission policy
Students who begin a trades program, but withdraw before completing the program, may contact the department to request re-entry to the program provided their absence is less than two years. Re-entry is subject to space availability.
If you are absent more than two years you will be required to apply for re-admission.
• An Application for admission form and Application fee will be required
• Applied and Technical Studies entrance exams will need to be retaken
Program outline
Students must show that they understand the written part by successfully completing a written test at the end of each unit, and then applying it to an acceptable level of practical skills as assigned in that unit.
At regular stages students will be required to move to a shop or lab area to perform various tasks in order to develop their practical skills. Practical hands-on training as part of the total plan will increase as the student progresses through the program, and should amount to about two-thirds of the overall training time.
As much as possible, study lab and shop instruction is patterned after "on-the-job" situations, where a limited amount of direct supervision is required. The training follows a modular system that begins by developing a wide variety of basic skills, and builds on these to develop intermediate and specialized skills required in this industry.
Sample topics:
• Reading and interpreting drawings
• Using joinery shop equipment
• Applying layout techniques
• Assembling cabinets
• Applying finishes
• Installing hardware
All unit tests and assigned practicals must be completed with a passing grade before writing the final exam, which is scheduled in

Breakfast With Scot
Eric lives for all things hockey. Now in his thirties, he's managed to turn his stint as an ex- Toronto Maple Leaf into a full-time gig as commentator for sports TV. He's living the dream! But when Eric's boyfriend Sam announces that they're to become temporary guardians of a young boy, Eric's comfortable world shatters. Enter Scot--a recently orphaned, swishy 11-year-old sissy-of-a-boy--and Eric's mirror opposite. Freaked out by Scot's 'joie de vivre,' Eric and Sam gently nudge Scot away from scented hand cream and all things pink, towards a more "acceptable" pastime--hockey. But after Scot's disastrous first game, Eric begins to rethink the compromises he's made in his own life in order to be "accepted."

Lithuania used to be part of the Soviet Union, but this Baltic country is now a member of the European Union. It is now time to open the doors to tourism. Lithuania is the biggest Baltic country. Situated along the south-eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, it shares borders with Latvia to the north, Belarus to the southeast, Poland, and the Russian exclave of the Kaliningrad Oblast to the southwest. It has around 99 kilometres of sandy coastline. Especially Palanga and Neringa are interesting places to spend your holidays.
Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is a green city with a large number of picturesque streets and squares and magnificent architecture.

Luckily, those days are gone now. NES emulators can be found for the PC. These nifty little programs are designed to run NES games as accurately as possible. All you need is the emulator itself, and a ROM for a NES game. Remember, owning a ROM without owning the original game cart might be illegal where you live.
'Now, on to the topic of the instructable':
I wanted to play NES and other oldish consoles on the NES PC, and also play Divx/DVD videos etc.
Playing NES games on your computer is fine, but I wanted more of an original feel to it. I thought I'd be able to put a PC full with hard drive and DVD drive inside of a NES case, attach some controllers to it, and hook it up to my TV.
Here's the full list of consoles my NES PC currently has installed.
- Super NES
- Sega Mega Drive / Genesis
- Sega Master System
- MAME (Arcade)
- Game Boy (Color)
- Game Boy Advance
- Sega Game Gear
- Turbo-Grafx 16 / PC-Engine
- Sony Playstation (games run from CD drive)
- Nintendo 64
The NES PC is used without mouse or keyboard! Everything is be done using the gamepads, which makes it feel more like a console (like it should!)
- how did you go about connecting the tri-color LED to the motherboard
- the frontal USB ports, did you use a custom mounted board or something and if so how did you attach it to the board
- do you still have any information from this project like schematics, etc?
- how many fans did you use and what size
- did this require much more cutting etc?
Thanks in advance. I've got most of the components already picked out... not looking to rush in until I'm sure I can do this!
After looking at your imageshack photo's I have one additional question. Where your blueray drive slides out, it appears to have two "faceplates" I guess you could call them, one white and one black. Is this a feature of the drive or did you rig this up? I'm considering using a regular CDR/DVDR slim drive (laptop style) for this, just curious how yours works.
When you open the drive does it open the NES cartridge hinge automatically or do you need to pre-open it? Not a big deal, just curious.

Thanks for using instructables!
Great Idea!
I recently made one.
I need rent money so I'm parting with it. 600 or best offer.
sooooooo advanced
figure rather than struggling with space constraints just use a pc built with space constraints in mind.
so all and all it will cost 250$
There are some even smaller form factors than itx that have processor, ram, graphics, sound and storage all on-board, meant for embedded systems but would work for this build too.
Also if one was clever he might add a piece of structure that would push the cart lid up as the cd tray slid out. Slick.

Black and White
(Under age 40? You won't understand.)
You could hardly see for all the snow,
Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set,
"Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet."
My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning.
My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in ice-pack coolers, but I can't remember getting e.coli.
Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then.
The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system.
We all took gym, not PE ... and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now.
Flunking gym was not an option . even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym.
Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention.
We must have had horribly damaged psyches. What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything.
I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.
I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations.
Oh yeah ... and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed!
We played 'king of the hill' on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites, and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent bottle of Mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn't sting like iodine did) and then we got our butt spanked.
Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics, and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.
We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either because if we did, we got our butt spanked there and then we got butt spanked again when we got home.
I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop, just before he fell off. Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house. Instead, she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run amuck.
To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that?
We needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes? We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac! How did we ever survive?

What will make a relationship last
1. A woman that will be loyal to you and never even think about cheating
2. A woman that will cook for you every day
3. A woman that will clean the house
4. A woman that can make you laugh and has a sense of humor
5. (Most important) Make sure that you never ever, ever, let women # 1-4 find out about each other!!!

Lawyers vs Farmers
A big city-slicker lawyer went duck hunting. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence.
As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing.
The litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it."
The old farmer replied, "This is my property, and you are not coming over here.."
The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the country and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own."
The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we settle disputes in these parts. We settle small disagreements with the 'Three Kick Rule.'"
The lawyer asked, "What is the 'Three Kick Rule'?"
The Farmer replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, I get to go first. I kick you three times and then you kick me three times and so on back and forth until someone gives up."
The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the attorney.
His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel-toed work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees.
His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer's last meal gush'n' from his mouth.
The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer's third kick to his rear end, sent him face-first into a fresh cow pie.
The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and dragged himself to his feet.
Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, "Okay, you old fart. Now it's my turn."
The old farmer smiled and said, "Nah, I give up. You can have the duck."At Home

Common Tools Defined
DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted vertical stabilser which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh ****..."
ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning pop rivets in their holes until you die of old age.
SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.
VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
WELDING GLOVES: Heavy duty leather gloves used to prolong the conduction of intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.
TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.
EIGHT-FOOT LONG YELLOW PINE 2X4: Used for levering an automobile upward off of a trapped hydraulic jack handle.
E-Z OUT BOLT AND STUD EXTRACTOR: A tool ten times harder than any known drill bit that snaps neatly off in bolt holes thereby ending any possible future use.
BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminium sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.
CRAFTSMAN 1/2 x 24-INCH SCREWDRIVER: A very large pry bar that inexplicably has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end opposite the handle.
AVIATION METAL SNIPS: See hacksaw.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws.
PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.
HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
MECHANIC'S KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines , refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.
DAMMIT TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'DAMMIT!' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.Ken

Grade this joke:

Terrible Hilarious
Current grade is: 5.22
A farmer walked into an attorneys office wanting to file for a divorce. The attorney asked, May I help you?
The farmer said, Yea, I want to get one of those dayvorces.
The attorney said, Well do you have any grounds?
The farmer said, Yea, I got about 140 acres. The attorney said, No, you dont understand, do you have a case?
The farmer said, No, I dont have a Case, but I have a John Deere.
The attorney said, No you dont understand, I mean do you have a grudge?
The farmer said, Yea I got a grudge, thats where I park my John Deere.
The attorney said, No sir, I mean do you have a suit?
The farmer said, Yes sir, I got a suit. I wear it to church on Sundays.
The exasperated attorney said, Well sir, does your wife beat you up or anything?
The farmer said, No sir, we both get up about 4:30.
Finally, the attorney says, Okay, let me put it this way. WHY DO YOU WANT A DIVORCE?
And the farmer says, Well, I can never have a meaningful conversation with her.Miller Thunderbolt XL AC/DC

From Alabama
It was the first day of Third Grade in a new town for Little Johnny. As a test, his teacher went around the room and asked each of the students to count to 50. Some did very well, counting as high as 30 or 40 with just a few mistakes. Others couldn't get past 20. Johnny, however, did extremely well; he counted past 50, right up to 100 without any mistakes. He was so excited that he ran home and told his Dad how well he had done. His Dad nodded and told him, "That's because you are from Alabama, Son." The next day, in language class, the teacher asked the students to recite the alphabet. It's Grade Three, so most could make it half way through without much trouble. Some made it to S or T, but Little Johnny rattled off the alphabet perfectly right to the end. That evening, Johnny once again bragged to his Dad about his prowess in his new school. His Dad, knowingly, explained to him, "That's because you are from Alabama, Son." The next day, after Physical Education, the boys were taking showers. Johnny noted that, compared to the other boys in his grade, he seemed overly "well-endowed". This confused him. That night he told his dad, "Dad, they all have little tiny ones, but mine is ten times bigger than theirs. Is that because I'm from Alabama?" he asked. "No, Son," explained his Dad, "That's because you're 18."Miller Thunderbolt XL AC/DC

There are now more than 1.1 million active geocaches around the world. The most exciting geocaching experiences come from fun, creative and challenging geocaches. If you would like to add your own cache to the growing tally, here are five important things to consider before you get started.
1. The more experience you have finding caches, the better you will be at knowing what makes a great hide. So, get out there and find a bunch of caches before you consider hiding your own.
2. Review the guidelines for placing a geocache. They are fundamental to ensuring that your cache can be listed on Geocaching.com.
3. Geocaches cannot be placed within 1/10th of a mile (161 m) of one another. Visit www.geocaching.com/seek and conduct a search for caches in the area that you have chosen for your cache. If the area is saturated with geocaches, you may want to consider a more unique location.
4. A volunteer reviewer looks at each new geocache listing before it is published on Geocaching.com. Work with your local reviewer. They are highly experienced geocachers and may have follow-up questions or advice that will help expedite the review process.
5. Owning a geocache requires an ongoing commitment. Maintenance requirements include upkeep of the container, replacing the logbook and addressing any unforeseen problems. If you want to place a geocache, make sure that the area is accessible to you so that you can fulfill this obligation.
Find more information about placing a geocache in the Groundspeak Knowledge Books.

Using math and math facts happens nearly every day however subtly it may seem, from counting out change to pay for groceries, to figuring a tip at a restaurant, to doubling the amounts in a recipe. No matter how simple or complicated the math computing may be, math is a skill that is needed and useful in daily life.
Presidents' Day is just around the corner. Second grade students at Spring Grove Public School in Deb Sullivan's and Kandice Hammel's classes have been learning a little about the government and president.
The first national spelling bee was in 1925. Nine newspapers collaborated to begin the event and in 1941 Scripps took over the sponsorship of the National Spelling Bee and is still the sponsor today. There have been national spelling bees ever since the inception except during the war years of 1943 to 1945. Of the 91 champions over the years of the bee, the split has been pretty equal between the genders with 47 being girls and 44 being boys. Four years there have been co-champions named – 1950, 1957, 1962, and 2014.
Spring Grove Elementary School students did well at the Southeastern Minnesota Sumdog Contest.

Midwest Living Review
New Madrid's Historical Museum provides a perky peek at the town's past.
Visitors can no longer order a drink at the one-time saloon housing the New Madrid Historical Museum, but they will enjoy a refreshing view of the little Mississippi River village's past. New Madrid (pronounced New MAD-rid) may be small, but it packs a big history, including some whopping earthquakes in 1811 and 1812 that were felt as far away as Canada and the Gulf of Mexico. A well-produced film details the quakes, as well as New Madrid's Native American, pioneer and Civil War history. A stroll through the exhibits and artifacts brings the experience full circle.
Stop in the fun gift store on the way out to pick up a clever "It's Our Fault" New Madrid T-shirt. The museum is open year-round, admission charged.

The College Classroom
Whether you are studiously taking notes or sleeping on your desk, your presence in a classroom affects those around you. Our etiquette advice will get you good grades in manners -- and maybe even in your class, too!
Surfing the Web can wait
Typing notes on your laptop can be very efficient, but it can also lead to the all-consuming distractions of Facebook or email. Keep in mind that even though your computer is in your personal space, other students can easily see your screen.
- Pictures from your weekend party or your favorite fashion blog can easily divert someone's attention from a lecture, especially in a dark classroom during a presentation.
- In addition, it is disheartening for a professor to find out that their work is being ignored for the Internet. Although your pictures or gossip sites may make you want to laugh out loud, snickering and whispering is another clear sign of disrespect to your professor.
- Our advice: ditch the computer entirely and go for the classic pen-and-paper approach to notetaking. If you prefer the convenience of technology, try turning off your wireless. It will take away the temptation of the web, and it will also help to preserve the battery life of your laptop.
An able body is an able mind
Dragging yourself to an early class after a night of partying can take all your strength and determination. But if you're just going to pass out five minutes into class, is it really worth it? If a hangover hinders your ability to concentrate in class or even to stay awake, reconsider heading to campus at all -- and reevaluate how you spend your weeknights.
If you truly are sick but shudder at the thought of missing even a single lecture, consider how your classmates would feel with someone coughing or sneezing on their notes. For the sake of your health and the health of others, staying at home may be the best option. If so, write an email to your professor apologizing for your absence before class begins. Ask a friend to take notes for you and offer to do the same when he or she is sick. And if you really can't forsake your perfect attendance record, arm yourself with tissues, cough drops or even a face mask.
Eat discreetly
Taking lunch on-the-go is often unavoidable if you have a busy class schedule. Depending on the professor, eating in class is usually acceptable. But be aware of how your food choices contribute to the classroom setting. Crunchy snacks or loud, crinkly wrappers can disrupt a lecture. Likewise, foods with strong, pungent smells can turn the focus from the lesson onto your lunch. Instead of bringing an orange or a tuna sandwich, for example, try munching on something quiet and discreet, like a muffin or a turkey sandwich.
To ask, or not to ask? That is the question
Asking questions is a great way to engage with the material and to make a connection with your professor. However, there are several things to consider before you shoot up your hand.
- Do you really need clarification, or are you simply trying to earn more participation points? Remember that time in the classroom is both valuable and limited.
- Would your question help the learning process of the rest of the class? If your question is more personal or specific to your needs, then wait until after class to ask the professor. Writing an email or attending office hours is another great way to connect with your professor.
- Formulate your question in your head (or even write it down) before you raise your hand. It's really easy to forget your question, and rambling on can only lead to more confusion.
- Try to stay on topic with your question. Professors generally like to stick to their lesson plans, so an off-topic question might consume so much time that important information may be left out of the lecture.

I traveled to every country on earth. In some cases, the adventure started before I could get there.
Last summer, my Royal Air Maroc flight from Casablanca landed at Malabo International Airport in Equatorial Guinea, and I completed a 50-year mission: I had officially, and legally, visited every recognized country on earth.
This means 196 countries: the 193 members of the United Nations, plus Taiwan, Vatican City, and Kosovo, which are not members but are, to varying degrees, recognized as independent countries by other international actors.
In five decades of traveling, I've crossed countries by rickshaw, pedicab, bus, car, minivan, and bush taxi; a handful by train (Italy, Switzerland, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, and Greece); two by riverboat (Gabon and Germany); Norway by coastal steamer; Gambia and the Amazonian parts of Peru and Ecuador by motorized canoe; and half of Burma by motor scooter. I rode completely around Jamaica on a motorcycle and Nauru on a bicycle. I've also crossed three small countries on foot (Vatican City, San Marino, and Liechtenstein), and parts of others by horse, camel, elephant, llama, and donkey. I confess that I have not visited every one of the 7,107 islands in the Philippine archipelago or most of the more than 17,000 islands constituting Indonesia, but I've made my share of risky voyages on the rickety inter-island rustbuckets you read about in the back pages of the Times under headlines like "Ship Sinks in Sulu Sea, 400 Presumed Lost."
A Brooklyn-based group is arguing that the displacement of longtime residents meets a definition conceived by the United Nations in the aftermath of World War II.
No one will be surprised to learn that the campaign to build a national movement against gentrification is being waged out of an office in Brooklyn, New York.
For years, the borough's name has been virtually synonymous with gentrification, and on no street in Brooklyn are its effects more evident than on Atlantic Avenue, where, earlier this summer, a local bodega protesting its impending departure in the face of a rent hike, put up sarcastic window signs advertising "Bushwick baked vegan cat food" and "artisanal roach bombs."
Just down the block from that bodega are the headquarters of Right to the City, a national alliance of community-based organizations that since 2007 has made it its mission to fight "gentrification and the displacement of low-income people of color." For too long, organizers with the alliance say, people who otherwise profess concern for the poor have tended to view gentrification as a mere annoyance, as though its harmful effects extended no further than the hassles of putting up with pretentious baristas and overpriced lattes. Changing this perception is the first order of business for Right to the City: Gentrification, as these organizers see it, is a human-rights violation.
In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don't like. Here's why that's disastrous for education—and mental health.
Something strange is happening at America's colleges and universities. A movement is arising, undirected and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense. Last December, Jeannie Suk wrote in an online article for The New Yorker about law students asking her fellow professors at Harvard not to teach rape law—or, in one case, even use the word violate (as in "that violates the law") lest it cause students distress. In February, Laura Kipnis, a professor at Northwestern University, wrote an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education describing a new campus politics of sexual paranoia—and was then subjected to a long investigation after students who were offended by the article and by a tweet she'd sent filed Title IX complaints against her. In June, a professor protecting himself with a pseudonym wrote an essay for Vox describing how gingerly he now has to teach. "I'm a Liberal Professor, and My Liberal Students Terrify Me," the headline said. A number of popular comedians, including Chris Rock, have stopped performing on college campuses (see Caitlin Flanagan's article in this month's issue). Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher have publicly condemned the oversensitivity of college students, saying too many of them can't take a joke.
But letting customers buy their own would force cable companies to improve their equipment.
One of the least glamorous realities of the American cable industry is a relic invented in 1948: the cable box. The box has become a fixture in the American household, not least because it is surprisingly profitable. Earlier this year, a U.S. Senate study found that American households pay $231 a year on average renting cable boxes. Further, the report estimated that 99 percent of cable customers rented their equipment, and, across the country, that added up to a $19.5 billion industry just renting cable boxes.
The senators who commissioned the study, Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, noted that this dependable rental revenue gave the industry little incentive to innovate and make better cable boxes. Which begs a really good question: Why aren't more people purchasing their cable boxes?
Why haven't more challengers entered the race to defeat the Iraq War hawk, Patriot Act supporter, and close friend of big finance?
As Hillary Clinton loses ground to Bernie Sanders in Iowa, where her lead shrinks by the day, it's worth noticing that she has never made particular sense as the Democratic Party's nominee. She may be more electable than her social-democratic rival from Vermont, but plenty of Democrats are better positioned to represent the center-left coalition. Why have they let the former secretary of state keep them out of the race? If Clinton makes it to the general election, I understand why most Democrats will support her. She shares their views on issues as varied as preserving Obamacare, abortion rights, extending legal status to undocumented workers, strengthening labor unions, and imposing a carbon tax to slow climate change.
Learning to program involves a lot of Googling, logic, and trial-and-error—but almost nothing beyond fourth-grade arithmetic.
I'm not in favor of anyone learning to code unless she really wants to. I believe you should follow your bliss, career-wise, because most of the things you'd buy with all the money you'd make as a programmer won't make you happy. Also, if your only reason for learning to code is because you want to be a journalist and you think that's the only way to break into the field, that's false.
I'm all for people not becoming coders, in other words—as long they make that decision for the right reasons. "I'm bad at math" is not the right reason.
Math has very little to do with coding, especially at the early stages. In fact, I'm not even sure why people conflate the two. (Maybe it has to do with the fact that both fields are male-dominated.)
Actually, a good amount: Belittling their plight by comparing it to blue-collar workers' ignores the trickle-down harms of an exhausting work culture.
Over the past few decades, workers without college degrees have not only seen jobs disappear and wages stagnate—the jobs that remain have, all too often, gotten worse. Constant surveillance is common; schedules are erratic; escalating performance quotas exact faster work. But these trends, often thought to be confined to front-line workers, have creeped up corporate hierarchies, affecting managers and executives. That's prompted a new controversy: Are white-collar workers victims of exploitation, or merely whining?
A devastating report on the work culture at Amazon's headquarters recently reignited the debate. The New York Times's August exposé, based on dozens of interviews, portrayed a firm with all the regimentation and rigidity of military boot camp, minus the esprit de corps. Workers routinely cried at their desks. Rather than being comforted or accommodated, sick employees were dumped into Orwellianly named "Performance Improvement Plans" that simply hastened their eventual departures. Faced with a comprehensive employee-ranking system, cabals of managers agreed to praise one another while talking down the performance of others. Amazon's "collaborative feedback tool" encouraged a Panopticon of vicious feedback—and similar software may be coming to many more firms.
Massive hurricanes striking Miami or Houston. Earthquakes leveling Los Angeles or Seattle. Deadly epidemics. Meet the "maximums of maximums" that keep emergency planners up at night.
For years before Hurricane Katrina, storm experts warned that a big hurricane would inundate the Big Easy. Reporters noted that the levees were unstable and could fail. Yet hardly anyone paid attention to these Cassandras until after the levees had broken, the Gulf Coast had been blown to pieces, and New Orleans sat beneath feet of water.
The wall-to-wall coverage afforded to the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina reveals the sway that a deadly act of God or man can hold on people, even 10 years later. But it also raises uncomfortable questions about how effectively the nation is prepared for the next catastrophe, whether that be a hurricane or something else. There are plenty of people warning about the dangers that lie ahead, but that doesn't mean that the average citizen or most levels of the government are anywhere near ready for them.
The NBC show isn't casting its net wide enough when it comes to finding new players.
Since the departure of many of its biggest stars two years ago, Saturday Night Live has mostly avoided major cast changes. Yesterday, NBC announced the show would add only one new cast member for its 41st season—the near-unknown stand-up comic Jon Rudnitsky. SNL is, of course, a sketch-comedy show, but it keeps hiring mostly white stand-ups who have a markedly different skill set, with limited results. As critics and viewers keep calling out for greater diversity on the show, it's hard to imagine the series's reasoning in sticking to old habits.
As is unfortunately typical today, controversy has already arisen over some tasteless old jokes from Rudnitsky's Twitter and Vine feeds, similar to the furore that greeted Trevor Noah's hiring at The Daily Show this summer. But Rudnitsky was apparently hired on the back of his stand-up performances, not his Internet presence, similar to the other young stand-ups the show has hired in recent years: Pete Davidson, Brooks Wheelan (since fired), and Michael Che. It's a peculiar route to the show, because SNL is 90 percent sketch acting, and unless you're hosting Weekend Update (like Che), you're not going to do a lot of stand-up material. So why hire Rudnitsky?
Many educators are introducing meditation into the classroom as a means of improving kids' attention and emotional regulation.
A five-minute walk from the rickety, raised track that carries the 5 train through the Bronx, the English teacher Argos Gonzalez balanced a rounded metal bowl on an outstretched palm. His class—a mix of black and Hispanic students in their late teens, most of whom live in one of the poorest districts in New York City—by now were used to the sight of this unusual object: a Tibetan meditation bell.
"Today we're going to talk about mindfulness of emotion," Gonzalez said with a hint of a Venezuelan accent. "You guys remember what mindfulness is?" Met with quiet stares, Gonzalez gestured to one of the posters pasted at the back of the classroom, where the students a few weeks earlier had brainstormed terms describing the meaning of "mindfulness." There were some tentative mumblings: "being focused," "being aware of our surroundings."

During the 2011-12 school year, more than 430,000 soft drinks were sold from 139 vending machines based in 28 school facilities, according to the Fairfax County Public School system. The machines included Pepsi and Coca-Cola products.
If all 430,000 sodas were purchased by students, the average consumption rate would be less than one soft drink per student a month.
Soda machines are only turned on after school hours, and during weekends and holidays, according to school officials.
While the consumption numbers may seem low, parent advocates for healthier diets say having the machines in schools sends the wrong message to students.
"[E]ven if it is not available during the school day, it's still there, advertised all day," said JoAnne Hammermaster, president of the parent advocacy group Real Food For Kids. Hammermaster has a seventh-grader at Kilmer Middle School and a freshman at Marshall High School.
Real Food For Kids, which was founded in 2011, began with a look at the ingrediants in school lunches.
However, Hammermaster said, "We've always said at some point we wanted to talk about vending machines. We believe there is no need for sodas in schools."
About 70 percent of sodas sold through vending machines in schools are regular soft drinks. The other 30 percent are diet or zero calorie drinks. Hammermaster said no matter their sugar content, the fizzy drinks are bad for digestion and need to go.
School Board member Ryan McElveen (At-large) is leading the effort to remove soda sales in schools. A 2004 graduate of Marshall High School, McElveen says the soda vending machine policies today have not changed since his time in high school.
"I don't want to take away the [vending] machines. I want to substitute [sodas] with something healthier," said the school board member, adding that booster clubs and student organizations sometimes sell sodas outside of the vending option. "We are not currently allowed to sell sodas [through vending] in our schools during the school day. The machines are turned off until around 2:30 p.m. [or when students are dismissed from schools for the day]."
Promoting alternative vending choices in schools, McElveen said, would help promote similar behaviors for students outside of schools.
"In my opinion, to teach kids how to live healthy lives, we need to offer them options," he said.
Parents advocating for healthier school diets are joining McElveen's efforts. "I think [removing soda] is a great thing ... Sodas are one example of something that isn't terrible but it doesn't provide you with any nutrition," said McLean resident and parent Rick Barnard, who served on Superintendent Jack D. Dale's Nutrition Task Force — a panel of parents, citizens and staff — in 2011.
Barnard said the panel focused primarily on the content of school-provided lunches, but added that sodas and vending of treats should be part of the discussion.
He became involved with student nutrition a few years ago after seeing national movements like First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" campaign and celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's show "Jamie's School Dinners," which promotes better nutrition.
"All of these things sort of started happening at the exact same time," Barnard said, adding that similar trends were seen in Fairfax County.
Schools receive 50 percent of the profits from vending machines as part of a profit agreement with the vender. FCPS' Food and Nutrition Services department donates a portion of their profits toward high school sports scoreboard repairs.
In fiscal 2012, the schools received $114,604, which included $82,682 from the schools' share of soda sale profits and $31,976 donated from Food and Nutrition Services.
"[S]oda consumption among our youth is a huge concern," said Alexandria resident and Hollin Meadows Elementary mother Mary Porter. "Sodas have addictive properties. They are dehydrating and they can disrupt the hormones that regulate the body's messages of hunger and satiation. They are junk food ... The only benefit to them in an academic setting is generating revenue, which in FCPS goes back to Food and Nutrition Services or the individual sports/booster teams that have contracts."
Porter says removing sodas is an opportunity to bolster nutrition literacy among students.
Herndon mother Heather Metz agreed.
"What children are taught early on stays with them," said Metz, who has children attending Armstrong Elementary and Herndon High School. "Kids are constantly exposed to marketing and have overworked parents who may not be cooking healthful meals at home, making nutrition education in schools extremely important. I would like to see schools set the best example possible."
McElveen said the next step for the soda debate will be gaining community input and discussions with fellow School Board members. School officials are currently reviewing food services within the school system.

THe fragrance is very subtle and smells like a devine lolly that you have not ever come across before, having said that the fragrance is not at all sickly sweet, it's masculine not feminine though either sex could wear it. I find many good male fragrances are great on woman as well and this is one of them. This is a good complimentary fragrance to something stronger that you might wear at night, I recommend this to anyone wanting to smell clean and fresh.

Comments about L'eau Par Kenzo Cologne:
This fragrance is very fresh. The main impressions I got were those of lemon, aquatic, and a bit of floral. Reminds me a lot of the taste of Sierra Mist or Sprite. This is not my personal style. However, there's no denying that as a scent alone, it's drawing. Simply not what I personally want to smell like. If you like the idea of a slightly lighter, fresher, cologne version of Sierra Mist or Sprite, give this a try.

Comments about L'eau Par Kenzo Cologne:
And again this KENZO. Especially in the spring, he again makes return to him, he's like no other for me relevant. It is heard that the smell of expensive soap, then an avalanche as bright citrus on what you want to taste, then it starts to overflow fresh green herbs that fresh crisp air. The less I noticed it on yourself nanoshu, the better and louder he sits on me. Simple and at the same time cool perfume anyway one of my favorites.
I regret only one thing-how for 13 years I have not used them, but now with more than make up for lost time! Kenzo L'eau par Kenzo pour Homme for me it is a high quality men's fragrance!

Similarly, "self" cannot be said to be unreal or real. All we can say is whatever phenomenon arises (and passes away) that is Dukkha, that is not self.
Dear Sam
actually concepts are unreal according to the texts:
The Abhidhammattha Vibhavani (Book 8) distinguishes between six kinds of concepts that are names, nama-pannatti (see Visuddhimagga VIII, note 11).
1. Vijjamana pannattis, concepts which make known what is real, for example the words rupa, nama, vedana (feeling), or sanna (perception) 10.
2. Avijjamana pannattis, concepts which make known what is not real, such as the words Thai or foreigner. These concepts do not represent absolute realities, citta and cetasika which are nama, and rupa. Thai or foreigner are not real in the absolute sense, they are conventional realities, sammutti dhammas. Could akusala citta11 (unwholesome consciousness) be Thai or foreign? Akusala citta is a paramattha dhamma (a reality), it is a dhamma which has its own characteristic, it is not Thai or foreign.
3. Vijjamanena avijjamana pannattis, concepts of the non-existent based on the existent. There is the expression "the person with the six abhinnas."12 The six abhinnas are real but person is not real. Thus this concept stands for what is real and for what is not real.
4. Avijjamanena vijjamana pannattis, concepts of the existent based on the non-existent. There is the expression "woman's voice". The sound is real, but the woman is not real.
5. Vijjamanena vijjamana pannattis, concepts of what is real based on what is real. There is the term cakkhu-vinnana (eye-consciousness). Cakkhu (eye) is a reality, namely the cakkhu-pasada-rupa (eyesense, a reality sensitive to colour or visible object), and vinnana (consciousness) is also a reality, namely the reality which experiences.
6. Avija amanena avijjamana pannattis, concepts of what is not real based on what is not real. There is the expression "the kings son". Both king and son are not real, they are sammutti dhammas, conventional realities.

Were the buildings in an ancient Roman city numbered, named or something else? How would they tell each other where they lived? Were the numbers painted on the walls? Did they have apartment numbers? What would've happened when they wanted to know where to go? Where would they tell their servants to take them?

I visited Rome and also Pompeii last week. According to our tour guide and the evidence left by the protection provided to the ruins of Pompeii by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, citizens of Pompeii in 79 AD did have street names and house numbers. Some even had signs in the entry way to their home warning "Cave Canem" or "Beware of Dog".

Gallery: Sweden's Umeå Architecture Academy Punctuated With Pixelated W...
The new architecture school is part of a much larger arts campus that will be completed in 2014 and will include the Institute of Design, Academy of Fine Arts, and Public Art Museum. Located in downtown Umeå on a former industrial site next to the river promenade, the architecture academy is inspired by the river, the birch trees, and the water reflections from the nearby river. The lamella facade is built from locally sourced larch wood and features hundreds of square windows that let in daylight.
Energy modeling and daylight simulations helped configure the pixelated window facade. Overall energy efficiency and an integrated HVAC system helps minimize energy usage by 50%. Fresh air enters the building under the floor plane and travels up through the building via columns and beams, and air is circulated throughout the building inside perforated pipes.

Kosher Dairy Dishes
|Potato, Salmon and Spinach Casserole
By Eileen Goltz, CuisinebyEileen.com, Modified from a Bon Appétit recipe November 2011
Hash browns serve as the bottom crust in this multilayered marvel.
8 large eggs
Preheat oven to 350. Generously grease 9 x13 baking pans with 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and spread the shredded potatoes over the bottom. Dot the top with additional 1 1/2 tablespoons butter.
Bake for 20 minutes until they start to become golden. Remove from oven. Do not overcook. Let it cool.
In a bowl combine the eggs, cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk and set aside. In a skillet melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add salmon and cook, turning often, until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet but don't clean it out. Add the chopped leeks, season with the remaining butter and salt and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the leeks to the salmon.
Sprinkle the spinach, leeks, and salmon over potato crust. Season with salt and pepper and then pour the egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle the cheeses over the top of the salmon mixture and return it to the oven.
Bake 35 to 45 minutes until the top is golden and puffy. Let cool for about 5 minutes and then serve.
Yield: 8-10 servings
