I'm beginning to write myself a life handbook. Basically it's just an Evernote list that I can refer to when I need a confidence boost, or some real-talk from myself.
I add to it in those moments when I'm feeling inspired or insightfully self-possessed and think I've figured out something about life…so yeah, it's a slooow process.
Sometimes I curse in this list to get my point across. That's something you should definitely know about me: I have a terrible mouth, which I inherited from my Grandma. I'll do my best to not curse when I'm talking about quinoa.
One of my most important life bullet points is: Be nice to yourself. Seriously, stop being so hard on yourself.
I wish it didn't require the seriously.
But I don't think I'm alone on this one. I think we can all be a little hard on ourselves. We're not making all the right moves in our careers, we're not making enough money, we're not fit enough, thin enough, cool enough, good enough. And all of that crap kind of has to stop.
It's important to set goals for yourself and do your dang best, but it's also important to ease up and show yourself a little love, kindness and leeway. Be good to yourself starting…now.
Start by packing a picnic with some fresh bread, avocado, fancy salt and this salad and heading somewhere pretty and peaceful. Roasted pears and fennel with nutty quinoa and peppery arugula will make you feel like you're doing the right thing. Seriously.
Roasted Fennel and Pear Salad (serves 2-4)
– 1 fennel bulb cut into 1 inch/2.5 cm thick sections
– 1 pear, cut into 1/2 inch/1 cm thick sections
– olive oil
– salt & pepper
– 1 cup of cooked quinoa
– 1 cup arugula
– 1/4 cup goats cheese, crumbled
Honey Dijon Dressing:
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon white wine or champagne vinegar
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon honey
– splash of water
To cook quinoa: Rinse 1/2 cup of quinoa in a mesh colander. Place 1/2 cup quinoa and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, covered. Remove from heat and let stand (covered) for 5-10 minutes. Uncover, fluff with a fork and serve.
Heat oven to 450 F/230 C.
Lightly oil a baking sheet and arrange the fennel and pears on it. (Keep the pears on one side and the fennel on the other, so that if you need to remove the pear before the fennel is ready, it can be done easily)
Roast for 15 minutes and check on your baking sheet. Pears should be soft and golden – this is your cue to take them out. Place the fennel back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes until soft and browned in places.
While your pears and fennel are roasting, make the dressing by whisking the ingredients together in a small bowl or pouring them in a jar with a lid and shaking vigorously.
Once the fennel is roasted, toss your quinoa and greens with 1 or 2 spoonfuls of dressing. Stir in some of your fennel and pear, reserving some to arrange on the top of the quinoa and greens. Top with crumbled goat cheese and drizzle a little more dressing on top.

The Utah Music Association has taken a postition in regards to the the IRFA (Internet Radio Fairness Act), and Executive Director Tyler Monks sent a letter to Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) om January.The UMA is taking a position against this Bill.
In a newsletter, Monks wrote: "In a nutshell it reduces the royalties paid to artists and pads the pockets of Pandora. I encourage all Utah music professionals to write Jason Chaffetz and express your concerns with this bill he is sponsoring. Many songwriting organizations in Nashville, New York, & Los Angeles are against this bill. I'm convinced this is not the solution. I encourage each of you to write a letter to Jason Chaffetz and express your disapproval of this Bill."Hers is a letter that the UMA composer that you can copy and send to Jason Chaffetz' Office:
Dear Rep Chaffetz,
I write to you concerning the Internet Radio Fairness Act.
As I see it, there is little that is fair about the proposed legislation. While it is not fair that businesses compete in the same industry and pay different expenses for the same product, it is also not fair to take only one competitor's side on this argument. The creators of the music are strongly and solidly against the IRFA.
They do not want to see revenues drop as much as two thirds while millions of people still stream their music for free daily. Yet the government won't even give them a say about how their product is dispersed online. Billions of dollars are stolen through pirated websites and our government does little to prevent this.
Those involved in the discussion over royalty fees should be the artists, writers, record labels and other interested parties – but not the government, bureaucrats and legislators. This is not so big a chore that the government must step in and mandate a "willing buyer, willing seller" or a previous set benchmark to allow for these groups to do business. They are more than capable to come to these conclusions themselves.
Pandora is a huge sensation with millions of members, I am confident that they have the power to negotiate and come to terms with the artists and labels as other companies have.
You have said yourself the government should not choose winners and losers, but that is exactly what this bill does - it makes the creators of the product the losers, and the distributors and investors big winners. This hurts Utah artists trying to make a living doing music. Lowering pay for artists is not the solution.
I would ask that you withdraw your support for this bill.

Families are the cornerstone of society. As such, your family is vitally important to you; it will be to me, too. While families can be a great source of joy, they can also be frustrating, even maddening at times! While there's no such thing as "the perfect family," we can start by trying to understand your family's particular dynamic. If we work together, we'll talk about effective communication, respect, and boundaries, and we'll laugh while we do it, because chances are your kids don't want to be there anyway. Family therapy can be tough enough without it be boring, too. Let's get together and see what we can do to make things better for your family.

In Virginia, there is a local legend that explains how the Cowpasture River and its surrounding streams were named: A group of Native Americans stole a herd of cattle from a settler and headed west. The calves tired first, and were left behind at the river now known as the Calfpasture. The cows were able to make it a bit farther, to Cowpasture. And the bulls, with greater strength and stamina, made it to Bullpasture.

The tale might not be true, but the names still fit. All three rivers are bordered by pastureland and meadows, a perfect habitat for indigo buntings, northern bobwhite and other open-country birds, as well as local livestock.
The nearby George Washington and Jefferson National Forests and state natural lands offer opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to experience this rustic, rural watershed.
If you would rather explore "underground," be sure to check out the region's caves and sinkholes. During periods of extended drought, the Cowpasture River dries up and flows only beneath the ground, through the limestone caves.

Ferry-service disruptions should diminish beginning next week
SEATTLE – The expected return to service of three ferry vessels over the next two weeks will help alleviate temporary service disruptions occurring now on two major ferry routes.
The 202-car Tacoma, in for routine maintenance, is expected to return to service Friday evening, Dec. 14. That will be followed Monday, Dec. 17, by the return of the 90-car Sealth, now awaiting dry dock availability for weld repairs. And, the 144-car Hyak, also in for routine maintenance, is expected to be back on its route in late December following Coast Guard inspection.
Two other ferries, the 87-car Klahowya and the 188-car Walla Walla, are expected to return to service mid- Jan. and spring 2013, respectively. The Klahowya is awaiting repairs to a propulsion generator, while the Walla Walla is awaiting repairs to a drive motor.
The unusual cluster of several boats out of service at one time has prompted short-term vessel downsizing and service disruptions on the Seattle/Bremerton and Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth routes. Customers should plan for longer waits and some delays.
"We appreciate the patience of our customers as we work to return vessels to service," said David Moseley, assistant secretary for the Washington State Department of Transportation, Ferries Division. "I want to thank our crews who have worked tirelessly to manage vessel moves and the capacity issues on the routes affected."
On the Seattle/Bremerton route, the 124-car Kitsap and the 64-car Salish are providing vehicle ferry service. The slower Salish requires a minimum of 20 extra minutes to travel between Seattle and Bremerton (average 60-minute trip is now 80 minutes). As a result, the 12:20 p.m. sailing from Bremerton and the 1:30 p.m. sailing from Seattle are canceled this week.
Vehicle ferry service on the Seattle/Bremerton route is supported by Kitsap Transit's passenger-only ferry, the 118-passenger Rich Passage 1. The passenger-only ferry provides two extra sailings during both the morning and afternoon commutes. It leaves from pier 50 in Seattle and the passenger ferry terminal in Bremerton. The passenger-only morning sailings are from Bremerton at 5:35 and 7:12 a.m., and from Seattle at 6:20 and 7:55 a.m. Evening sailings are from Seattle at 5:07 and 6:43 p.m., and from Bremerton at 4:25 and 5:55 p.m.
The Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route is on a two-boat schedule with the 124-car Issaquah and the 87-car Tillikum. This service is supplemented with unscheduled sailings by the 34-car Hiyu.
Due to the unexpected number of vessels out of service for repairs and the priority of providing regular service, WSF will cancel its annual holiday cruise for people with disabilities, which was scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 15, to bring the Tacoma back into service sooner.
"It is with sadness that we cancel the holiday cruise," said Moseley. "I know many WSF employees and community members look forward to this annual event. Given our reduced capacity with multiple vessels out of service, we need to return this large ferry to our system in order to serve our customers."

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by DFWJC, Dec 27, 2012.
I can't believe Vaz is still in the game. He has made a lot of poor decisions to hurt the offense.
Case McCoy could start for Oregon State. Vaz is garbage and Mannion threw 31 picks the last 2 years :laugh2:
Wow Vaz has some of the worst pocket presence I've ever seen. He keeps holding the ball forever and taking bad sacks!
Okafor 4.5 sacks tonight!!!!
Texas couldn't stop the run and Oregon state wouldn't run it. really bad coaching.
Mack Brown is safe again! The bowl game king
Jason Garrett must have drawn up the gameplan for them.
This chicken wing bowl is a snoozer.
This is definitely some Big Ten football being played. At least SEC Football usually involves a lot of turnovers forced. This is just ugly, conservative football
I was getting bored last night when Tech would huddle, made the game take forever, I'm so used to watching Baylor who has 1 minute and less drives often and never huddles.
Anyone have a guess as to when Lou Holtz retires? Or when Mark May flips out because he is tired of getting showered by spit from Lou?
I think Les Miles took some pointers from Jason Garrett on how to manage the clock at the end of the game (or is it the other way around?). Two straight incompletion passes to gain two yards and you're trying to run out the clock, and then you allow a 26 yard completion on a 4th and 16? I'm glad I'm not an LSU fan.
Tajh Boyd has officially arrived! This was the signature win he needed. He needs to come back for his senior season and it will be between him and Teddy Bridgewater as the best QBs in the country
As far as the draft goes or what? I'm pretty sure Johnny Football holds that title right now and won't be giving it up too easily.
Good win for Clemson over LSU last night.
Kind of a funky New Years Day slate though.
Maybe Mich vs S Carolina?
S. Carolina vs Michigan... first Touchdown of the game.
Isn't that an illegal formation? The RT is uncovered. Unless college rules are different (pretty sure they aren't as far as this one goes) that's an illegal formation.
Don't have a horse in that race, just an observation.
I missed the play, RB.
Just noticed that the Big10 has 5 teams playing today. That has to be a first.
Just an observation, as I'm not for or against them.
Turn on the Nebraska/Georgia game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is exciting already.
I'm actually waiting to watch Stanford/Wisconsin. Love watching good RBs play and this game will have a couple of good ones.
Wouldn't mind the cowboys drafting one of them if they drop to the 5th round or later.
The Big Ten has a chance to get the last laugh if they go 3-0 vs. the SEC today!

Police Spying On MosquesHaroon Moghul on WBUR, February 27, 2012
Media Source
New York took the biggest hit on 9/11. The New York City Police Department made the biggest response. Brought in big guns from the CIA. Pumped up surveillance all over. Launched a big campaign, deep and wide, to look in on its Muslim population.
For a while it won praise. Now people are wondering if the NYPD has gone too far. Maybe way too far. Spying on mosques. In mosques. Sweeping up worshipper license plates. Tracking Muslim students. Surveilling with a very broad brush. Well beyond New York.
This hour, On Point: How much is too much policing?
Haroon Moghul, fellow at the Center on National Security at Fordham Law School and the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, appears on On Point with Tom Ashbrook.

By Michelle Dunlop Herald Writer
EVERETT — The Boeing Co. will lay off approximately 800 workers, primarily from the 747 and 787 jet programs, by the end of 2013, the company announced Friday.
Overall, Boeing will reduce Puget Sound-area employment by 2,000 to 2,300 workers through attrition and other means, but 800 of those job cuts will be layoffs.
"We've always expected our employment level would come down when those programs stabilized," said Doug Alder, a spokesman for Boeing.
The layoffs mostly will come from the 747 and 787 modification and change incorporation areas at Paine Field. Boeing built dozens of 787 and 747 aircraft before the Federal Aviation Administration certified the jets. Boeing workers have been bringing those early-built jets up to delivery specifications. Newly built 747-8s and 787s have not required as much rework.
Boeing's 787 has been grounded since Jan. 16 due to battery failures. Boeing is expected to flight test the redesigned lithium-ion battery soon with hopes of returning the 787 to passenger service within weeks.
Alder said that production rates on the 747 and 787 programs will not be affected by the layoffs. The company still plans to reach a production rate of 10 787s per month by the end of 2013.
Boeing has not issued layoff notices yet, Alder said. The company has contacted the local district of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents most workers who will be laid off. The company also already has reassigned 500 workers to other parts of Boeing.
Connie Kelliher, a spokeswoman for the Machinists, noted that the company is trying to mitigate the impact of needing fewer Machinists doing modification work. The layoffs are not the start of a downturn for Boeing, she wrote in an emailed statement.
"Unlike past layoffs, there are no production rate decreases on any airplane line," Kelliher wrote. "Production rates remain high, and there is a seven-year backlog."
Modification work on the 787s will continue. Alder did not say how much longer the 787 modification work would take beyond 2013. Earlier this year, Boeing's chief financial officer, Greg Smith, predicted that all modification work would be wrapped up by the end of 2015.
In January, Boeing bought the 600,000-square-foot modification center, which previously was occupied by Aviation Technical Services. In the near term, Boeing will continue to use the modification center, which includes office and hangar space, as before, said Kathy Spicer, Boeing spokeswoman.
Boeing had moved some workers to the modification center from the company's delivery center, which was torn down. The new delivery center will open next month at Paine Field, and workers will move in later in the month, said Elizabeth Fischtziur, a spokeswoman for Boeing's Everett site.
Boeing's Spicer declined to say what the modification center would be used for after the delivery center employees move and the 787 work comes to an end. However, Boeing officials are mulling several development programs, including the 787-10 and 777X.
Earlier this year, Boeing said it would reduce employment levels at the company's site in North Charleston, S.C. Many of the affected workers in South Carolina were contract workers, Alder said.
Boeing employment in Washington has been declining since reaching a high of 87,023 last October. At the end of February, Boeing employed 86,198 people in Washington.
In recent years, lawmakers and industry groups like the Aerospace Futures Alliance have worked to increase aerospace training as well as engineering capacity at universities in Washington.
Linda Lanham, executive director of the aerospace alliance, said the layoffs came as shock to her. Lanham also sits on the state's Aerospace Pipeline Advisory Committee, which works with Boeing and other companies to ensure the number of people being trained in specific areas matches companies' demands for workers. She recently surveyed several of the region's aerospace companies about hiring needs.
"Most of the suppliers say they're going to be hiring by the end of the year," Lanham said.
Many suppliers already are hiring, which gives Lanham hope that those workers being laid off by Boeing can find work in the region's supply chain. She believes that students already enrolled at the various training centers also will find work with aerospace suppliers or in other fields such as the marine industry.
"Hopefully, we can place a lot of these workers," she said.

It is so sad to hear of the child that was severely injured from leading her horse that spooked during a thunderstorm. I pray she will recover.
But a reminder of how to safely lead animals is appropriate: Never coil leadlines with the hand inside the coils. Instead, use both hands to hold the line straight. Another method is to fold the line like a three-fold letter and place the hand totally over the line.
Accidents can still happen but will be much less dangerous, usually.

But how should scholastic handle their readers who have long since grown up?
The scholastic pitches finished, the campers returned to their doll designs.
scholastic Press editorial director David Levithan recalled his hesitation to the premise.
I had an idea for a movie and I had a meeting with scholastic Publishing because they have a movie division.
"There was a nice music to his writing," says Lee Kravitz, his longtime editor at scholastic and then at Parade.
The doctrine of formal discipline in education is the natural counterpart of the scholastic method.
It draws within the sphere of its attraction both the scholastic and the unlearned.
Abelard was proud and ambitious, and the highest prizes of an ecclesiastical and scholastic career seemed within his grasp.
For expression with us is not scholastic, but temperamental!
This is the scholastic maxim: entia praeter necessitatem non esse multiplicanda.
1590s, "of or pertaining to Scholastic theologians" (Churchmen in the Middle Ages whose theology and philosophy was based on Church Fathers and Aristotle), from Middle French scholastique (14c.), from Latin scholasticus "of a school," from Greek skholastikos "enjoying leisure; devoting one's leisure to learning," hence, as a noun, "a scholar," also in a bad sense, "a pedant; a simpleton," from skhola (see school (n.1)). In English, meaning "pertaining to schools or to school education" is from 1640s. As a noun from 1640s. Related: Scholastical (1530s in the "relating to a school" sense); scholastically.

WATCH: Surfing ad blasted as sexist and 'voyeristic'
Selling bikinis is by nature a provocative industry. They're selling underwear that you can get wet, for god's sake, so the chances of seeing some cleavage are higher than if you were selling, say, nautical sweaters. But where can advertisers draw the line between "this swimsuit will make you look hot" and "look at these butt cheeks but also swimsuits"?
I think we may have happened upon proverbial line between advertisement and soft core with Roxy's new ad campaign. The simply sumptuous shots of a girl and her perky ass getting out of bed, caressing various electronics and eventually getting on a (slowly) waxed surfboard don't really encourage the viewer to buy Roxy products as much as they do encourage people to ogle at some skin. But putting tits and ass next to consumer products isn't anything new.

Michael Crumbaker ran and threw for scores and Derek Church plowed in for a touchdown, but Catawba overcame a 21-16 deficit on their way to rallying to defeat the Tornados, 31-21, on Saturday afternoon.
Church led Brevard (3-3, 0-2 SAC) with 92 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries as the fullback got the Tornados offense going early in the ball game. Crumbaker added 18 yards and a touchdown on the ground and was two of 10 through the air for 64 yards and a score. Eric Watts was the recipient of the touchdown from Crumbaker, catching a 57 yard pass in stride for a touchdown with time winding down in the first half.
Defensively, Prince Simunyu led the Tornados with eight tackles and a sack, with two tackles coming behind the line of scrimmage. Trey Jenkins added eight tackles and Ryan Wannamaker had two tackles for loss and a sack in the contest for Brevard.
Patrick Dennis led Catawba (4-1, 2-0 SAC) on the afternoon, going 16 of 26 through the air for 219 yards and a touchdown, while Josh Wright broke the century mark on the ground, gaining 101 yards on 15 carries, including a 49 yard touchdown run to put the game away in the fourth quarter.
Jeb Bass, Lakeem Perry and Cory Johnson led the Indians on the defensive side of the ball as each recorded double digit tackles in the game, while Perry and Jumal Rolle each had interceptions.
Kelvin Jeter took the opening kickoff for the Tornados, returning it 47 yards to the Catawba 40 yard line to provide Brevard excellent field position for the opening drive. Turning to Church, the Tornados rode the senior fullback as he carried the ball six times for 28 yards before Crumbaker found a gap, carrying it from one yard out to put the Tornados up 7-0 with 9:54 left on the clock in the first quarter.
Dennis led the Indians on their first drive, carrying the ball twice for 10 yards and finding Eric Morman for a 15 yard gain as Catawba moved the ball inside Brevard territory. The Tornados stopped Dennis short of the first down, forcing a field goal attempt and Thomas Trexler converted the 40 yard attempt to cut the score to 7-3 with 6:31 left in the opening quarter.
Brevard marched down the field again on their next drive, aided by a Catawba personal foul in moving inside the Catawba 10 yard line. The Tornados moved down to the Indians two yard line, but on fourth down, Jumal Rolle stopped Jeter in the backfield to turn the ball over on downs, ending the Tornados threat.
The Indians got back on the board late in the first half after a Brevard fumble, moving the ball five yards on a carry by Wright before Trexler drove a 36 yard field goal through the uprights to put the score at 7-6 with 1:05 remaining in the opening half.
On Brevard's next possession, the Tornados faced third and 11 before Church broke through a hole, carrying the ball 19 yards to the BC 43 yard line. Two plays later, Crumbaker found a streaking Watts as the junior tight end caught the ball on the left sideline and outraced the Indians to the pylon, covering 57 yards for the touchdown. Chase Henry's extra point put the Tornados up 14-6 with 17 seconds remaining in the first half.
Catawba had one final drive in the half, receiving possession on the BC 43 yards line after a Brevard personal foul, but the Hail Mary pass from Dennis was knocked down by Gist in the end zone as the Tornados headed to the locker room up 14-6.
The Indians opened up possession in the second half and moved down the field, partly due to luck as a Dennis pass was tipped twice in the air before falling in the hands of Gerron Bryant at the BC 32 yard line to set up a Catawba first down. Two plays later, Wright gained 20 yards to move the ball down to the 10 yard line and Terwilliger carried the ball across the line shortly after from 11 yards out to cut the deficit to 14-13 with 12:28 left in the third quarter.
A 41 yard kickoff return by Justin Fleming gave the Tornados the ball on the Catawba 47 yard line. The Tornados drove the ball down to the Catawba four yard line, aided by a defensive pass interference call on Crumbaker's pass to Corey Gwynn. Church handled it from there, carrying the ball in from four yards out on third down to put Brevard up 21-13 with 4:57 left in the third quarter.
The Indians took to the air on their next possession, as Dennis dropped back eight straight times, moving the ball from the Catawba 27 yard line down to the Brevard 20 as Bunn caught a 25 yard pass. A sack by Ryan Wannamaker moved the Indians back to the Brevard 29 yard line, but Trexler converted a 46 yard field goal attempt to put the score at 21-16 as the teams headed into the fourth quarter.
Catawba took the lead in the fourth quarter with 4:27 left in the game, opening their scoring drive on the Brevard 34 yard line, following a six yard punt by the Tornados. On third and goal from the four yard line, Dennis stepped up in the pocket, scrambling to his left before flipping the ball into the end zone over the outstretched hands of a BC defender, finding Wright for the four yard score. The two-point conversion was good as Dennis found Morman in the back of the end zone to put the score at 24-21 with under five minutes to play.
A sack by Weedon pushed the Tornados to a third and 24 on their next possession and Crumbaker's desperation heave was picked off by Rolle at the BC 49 yard line. Catawba closed out the scoring on the next play as Wright broke through the line on his way to a 49 yard rushing touchdown to put the Indians up 31-21.
The Tornados return home to Asheville, N.C. next week as they host Lenoir-Rhyne University. Kickoff between Brevard and Lenoir-Rhyne at Asheville High School Memorial Stadium is set for 2 p.m. between the SAC rivals.

Date: November 19 2012
Australia is to put $50 million towards a new program to combat people-trafficking in Asia.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who is in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh for the East Asia Summit, said the program would strengthen criminal justice systems in Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
Investigators and prosecutors will be helped to increase convictions and reduce opportunities for trafficking, while victims of trafficking will be supported through the criminal justice process.
"Trafficking in persons is a global issue that ruins the lives of its victims and profoundly affects their families and communities," Ms Gillard said in a statement on Tuesday.
The International Labour Organisation estimates that, each year, more than 20 million people are forced into labour.
Women and young people are particularly vulnerable, with school-age girls often forced to become slaves or prostitutes.
The program is part of the joint work being carried out by Australia with ASEAN members.
Meanwhile, Ms Gillard also announced Australia would contribute $1 million towards an Asia-Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance.
The alliance will complement this year's EAS leaders declaration, expected on Tuesday, committing to a regional response to the growing threat of drug-resistant malaria.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr last week announced Australia had committed $100 million in funding over the next four years to help reduce death and illness from malaria in the Asia-Pacific region.
Malaria, a wholly preventable and treatable disease, killed more than 42,000 people in the Asia-Pacific in 2010 and causes more than 650,000 deaths worldwide every year.
Drug-resistant malaria is presenting a major challenge.

F-ing around on the Web
Registration is now open for SCALE 9X — register now by clicking on the winking penguin.
Now that I have your attention . . . .
Several months ago, there was a discussion in Fedora circles about the similarity between the Fedora Project logo — a very smart one that signifies a lot of different things (as outlined below) — and the Facebook "F" that is encapsulated in a rounded-off square.
This discussion started when someone related a story where a person approached the storyteller and mistook a Fedora button on a backpack for a Facebook button. I thought it was fairly innocuous at the time — yeah, they're both F's, but still, you have to be kind of — oh, I don't know — lacking some basic observational skills to confuse the two.
Of course, when it happens to you, then the issue becomes a tad more clear.
Earlier in the week, I had coffee in beautiful downtown Felton at The White Raven — home of Larry's Famous Chai (the Larry in question is not me; though as an aside, Felton could be a town that holds the distinction of having the most people named Larry, per capita, in the nation. But I digress . . . ). A woman sitting at the next table looked over at me — well, more specifically, looked over at my ThinkPad T30, which sports a Fedora F sticker next to the touchpad — and asked, "Excuse me, where did you get that Facebook sticker?
Frankly, I live for segues like this, as it gives me a chance to talk about Free/Open Source Software and Linux, upon which Facebook is based, no doubt. I explained that it was not a "Facebook" sticker, but that of the Fedora Project, and launched into a coffee conversation about Fedora, Linux and an invitation to join the Felton Linux Users Group, which conveniently was meeting that Saturday.
Herein lies the confusion.
This is the Fedora logo. The Fedora logo provides by design three distinct and important elements that are basic tenets to the FOSS paradigm: Voice, which is the blue background "bubble" reminiscent of voice bubbles in comic strips and the like; the "F" for freedom (or Fedora); and last, but certainly not least, the "F" for Freedom/Fedora is part of the symbol for infinity, albeit upright as opposed to horizontal. When you look at this, it conveys a lot of different — all positive — messages. I would suspect that the Fedora Project's Design Team gets tired of me singing the seven-minute album version of their praises, but of all distros in this solar system, if not the entire galaxy, the Fedora Project's artists are the best, period. Also, there's a wiki page on the history of the Fedora logo which outlines its origins — it's definitely worth a read.
[Editor's note: Paul Frields, former Fedora Project Leader, points out in the comments below an earlier version of the logo that appeared here was not the right one. This one above comes directly from the Fedora Project's logo wiki rather than from my ancient library. Thanks, Paul.]
On the other hand . . .
On the other hand, this is the Facebook F, which as you can see is a stylized F on a blue square with rounded corners, tastefully and tactfully shadowed and reflected to provide an almost 3-D look. It's clean and attractive — very attractive in fact — and I'm sure that the folks at Facebook may have paid a handsome sum for the design of this logo. But when you put the two together to compare and contrast, you can tell that there is a huge difference between them, with the letter "F" and the color blue being where the similarities end.
Though its roots go further back, the Fedora Project was initiated in the fall of 2003. Mark Zuckerberg was still in his dorm at Harvard kicking off Facebook on campus a year after that. I bring this up because I have been unable to ascertain which logo came first, but I am fairly certain the Fedora logo came first. If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd be grateful.
Now, is the fact that the two logos are sometimes confused at a fleeting glance a problem for folks at Fedora? Some in the aforementioned discussion at the outset of this blog thought so, to the point where they opined that perhaps Fedora should change its logo. On the contrary: It's a great opportunity opening a door for people who are asked about the "Facebook" sticker/button to talk about Linux, FOSS and Fedora.

Penny had not fully understood the conversation which she had overheard between Slippery and Sade.
Say, Sade, I made a date for dinner this evening with Piggy.
But I sartainly am sorry for that poor little Sade Raby, as they call her.
At that moment, Sade gave a little convulsive shudder, and the water rolled over her head.
Mine teares he Sade me 91 waren bred dai niht swa gode hie ouhten.
Breathless but radiant, Mary came forward to greet her guests while Langford slipped away to put up Sade.
Of ores kennes teares he Sade : Lacrimis meis stratum meum rigabo : Ich scal watrien min bedd mid mine teares.

Suddenly, without warning, Sade stepped into a hole and lost her balance for a moment.
Armed with this sanction, Wexley called that evening at the Cooper cottage, where Sade kept house for a decrepit great-aunt.

Palmer calls for support in trial of murder suspects (JERUSALEM POST) By JOANNA PARASZCZUK 04/10/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=265567
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
Ahead of a military court hearing in the trial of five Palestinians charged with causing the fatal crash of his son Asher Palmer and infant grandson Yonatan, Michael Palmer called again on Tuesday for public support during the trial.
Asher and his baby son Yonatan were killed when their car overturned on Route 60, just outside Kiryat Arba, last September. Though the IDF initially said the car crash was a tragic accident, after a subsequent investigation they revealed their suspicions that the Palmers were murdered as a result of rocks thrown at their moving car.
In November, the Military Advocate- General indicted five Palestinian men, allegedly part of a terror cell formed to harm Israelis, in the Ofer Military Court in connection with the Palmers deaths.
At the last trial hearing, in the Ofer Military Court near Ramallah last month, the IDF allowed a group of ten members of the public to accompany Palmer and his son Shmuel to the courtroom.
Palmer said that the strong support he received from the public - over 100 people contacted him and asked to attend the trial - helped him and his family through the difficult hearing in the tiny, crowded military courtroom, at which the defendants´ families were also present.
"The strong public support at the hearing on March 11 demonstrated strongly that terror victims and Israeli society at large expect justice from the justice system," Palmer said, adding that at a previous hearing in February, he had been upset when the defendants´ families had shouted their support for the five Palestinians in the dock.
"There was barely any Jewish presence [at that February hearing] and the murderers openly received encouragement from their supporters in the courtroom," Palmer said.
The military trial hearings in the Palmer case have so far been open to the public, including the press, although the IDF limited the number of non-press spectators to ten at the March hearing, citing space restrictions in the courtroom.
Palmer said it was essential for the military court system to see that the Israeli public cared about justice for terror victims.
"It is, I believe, very important to show the prosecution and the court that Asher and Yonatan, and all victims of terror, are remembered and that we demand justice for their murderers," he added.
The five defendants Ali Saadeh, Waal al-Arjeh, Iyad al-Baw, Mahmoud al-Baw and Mohammed al-Baw are charged under the Military Order regarding Security Provisions (1651) in the West Bank.
According to the indictments, the five men formed a cell to assault Israelis in revenge for a price tag attack on a Nablus mosque shortly before the killings. They decided to throw rocks from a moving car at Israeli cars in the West Bank, the indictment alleges, with the aim of killing passengers.
If the court finds the defendants guilty of deliberately causing the deaths, it will set a legal precedent, as to date no one has ever been convicted of murder as a result of rock throwing. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 04/10/12)

FONTANA - A group seeking to recall school board members Leticia Garcia and Sophia Green turned in far more signatures than necessary to force an election later this year.
The group needed 7,905 signatures but Tuesday afternoon delivered four large boxes to the San Bernardino County Elections Office containing more than 11,000 signatures for the recall of the Fontana Unified school board members.
"This sends a clear message to all politicians that the voters are not going to tolerate inappropriate behavior and people not looking out for the best interests of our community," said Jesse Armendarez, the quarterback of the recall group.
There were 11,658 signatures for Garcia's recall and 11,432 for Green's recall, Armendarez said.
The Elections Office has a month to validate the signatures.
The school board will decide when and how the election will be held, officials said.
It will cost the district between $200,000 and $260,000, Green said.
"The people will reject the recall and the money would have paid for one or two classes for our students," she said.
"And this is all because of the mayor," Green said.
Armendarez is "nothing more than a mouthpiece for Mayor Acquanetta Warren. She wanted a war and I'm going to give it to her," Garcia said in a telephone interview.
Her choice of words was a reference to a dispute she and Green with the district's after-school program, which is run by the city of Fontana.
Last year, after Green and Garcia said they thought the district should explore having another organization run the program, Warren angrily said outside the board meeting room, "This is war."
In the phone interview Tuesday afternoon, Garcia said she was engaged to marry San Bernardino attorney Tim Prince and planned to resign from her board position and move to San Bernardino to be with him.
But since it now appears there will be a recall vote, Garcia said she and Prince will look for a house together in Fontana, she will fight the recall effort and she will run against Warren when she's up for re-election as mayor.
"All I can say about this is that I couldn't ask for a better competitor," Warren said in response to Garcia's remarks.
"You know those two just don't get it. I would be shaking in my boots if more than 11,000 people had signed petitions seeking my recall," Warren said.
"Jesse (Armendarez) did a masterful job of organizing a very diverse group for the recall effort."
Both Green and Garcia said they have personal knowledge and have received credible reports that some of the signature gatherers misrepresented the recall petition by saying that signing the petition meant that an after-school program in the district would be saved.
Late last year, the district renewed the contract for the city of Fontana to run the district's after-school program for one more year.
Green said some petition signature gatherers accused Garcia and her of embezzling large sums of money from the district - an allegation that had never been raised before.
They reject that accusation.
In reality, the recall petition focuses on the two board members' opposition to continuing the after-school program under the city's management and what the recall group claims are "repeated attacks by Garcia and Green on the integrity of the district's administration and school superintendent."
Armendarez said that such misrepresentations by the group's signature gathers were not likely as they had clearly defined talking points about the reasons for the recall and were told to stick to those points.

Cops: Toddler's Mom Also Researched Car Deaths
(NEWSER) – Justin Ross Harris wasn't the only one who researched children dying in hot vehicles before his son died the same way—police say his wife, Leanna, researched the same subject. The mother of 22-month-old Cooper Harris "made similar statements regarding researching in car deaths and how it occurs," according to warrants obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Unlike her husband, Leanna Harris has not been charged, although she was questioned in the hours after her son was found dead in the back of her husband's SUV. She says she loves her husband and is standing by him, reports CNN, which notes that the medical examiner is waiting on toxicology reports before ruling on the cause of the toddler's death.

Prized since Medieval times for its naturally undyed pearl-flecked peaty brown, the wool used in this cape provides a neutral color that complements garments worn underneath, allowing formal and casual wear. The sheep's wool contains fibers with tiny air pockets that wick away moisture from the skin, providing natural insulation. Made in Aylsham, England, the cape is woven with a tight weave that strengthens the wool fibers' natural elasticity to provide durability. Its long staples create a hardwearing yarn that resists dirt and stains yet is surprisingly soft to the touch. The wool is naturally water-resistant, making the cape suitable for wear in foggy or misty conditions. It drapes over the entire upper body without restricting the arms, and stays closed with an overlapping front. Brown. One size fits most. (2 lbs.)

Excellent Quality Garment

This is a beautiful old world style weave of gorgeous Welsh Black Sheep wool. This ruana is thick and warm and substantial. I have paid a lot more for lesser quality and been happy about it so I was thrilled with this purchase!

Why do we size stories in Agile? Here's a look at why, and how to use relative sizing.
4/24/2015 by PraveenKumar Prem
One of the keys to successful Agile software projects is considering testing at the beginning. And one way of achieving this shift-left approach is to use behavior-driven development (BDD).
4/23/2015 by Sriramasundararajan Rajagopalan
The zeal for "zero quality error" competes with maintaining profitability on product development and project management initiatives, when organizations are attempting to do more with less.
4/22/2015 by Ravishankar R
Let's take one of the accepted (if not explicitly stated) Agile values and see how the developer in an Agile environment supports it. . . .
4/21/2015 by Anand Vyas
In traditional project management models, we know projects revolve around the triangle of scope, cost, and time. How do we use this in Scrum?
4/20/2015 by Sumit Sharma
Is your team facing difficulty in forecasting when projects will be completed? Are there large numbers of unestimated user stories in the product backlog? Does the planning meeting last several hours and is it full of confrontation?
4/17/2015 by Vikas Jain
One of the fundamental Agile values is, "We value responding to change over following a plan," which has sometimes been misinterpreted to mean that we don't need to plan an Agile project. Nothing could be further from the truth.
4/16/2015 by PraveenKumar Prem
Without a shift-left test approach -- early and often -- developers and testers find it difficult or impossible to find defects until system parts are integrated in a system test. Why can't we reap the benefits of Agile?
4/15/2015 by Lisa Fineberg
Spring has sprung. Flowers are in bloom. Clocks have been adjusted to reflect Daylight Savings Time. All of these little indicators point to the undeniable fact that May the Fourth is just around the corner. . . .
4/14/2015 by Eduardo Hernández Rangel
Even a standard user story is sometimes difficult to obtain from the stakeholder, because they have a vague idea about what they want. In such cases, the "Five W's" can be useful for writing user stories with complete and coherent information.

The scream room reaches maximum capacity in the wee hours, often coinciding with last call at the neighborhood dive. Suddenly, the cyber tide of commenters rises. A public concern or local news item is recast as a bar fight on the home Apple, with coarse language and bigoted jabs.
Welcome to the wilderness of online commenters.
In the online sphere, the mission is to lure similarly agitated commenters of the opposite political stripe. Unaccountable scribblers, masquerading behind made-up handles, ignite the melee. At times, writers will use their real names. Herein lies the curse and the blessing of cyberspace anonymity.
For Internet pioneers, the Web was the great equalizer. Anyone can build a Web page. Anyone can comment on an article or an editorial in The Herald or The Economist or The New York Times. News editors are compelled to play hall monitor, trolling stories for stray outlaws who violate the language-decency rules or openly threaten others.
There are editorial topics that automatically generate Web traffic and kindle online responses. These include but are not limited to taxes, guns, the tribes, immigration, President Obama, abortion, same-sex marriage and all-things-Olympia. Last Sunday, a story on the Dream Act and an article on greater scrutiny at local gun shows kept online editors occupied. It was disheartening. To provoke civil discussion is not only constructive, but an expression of civic health. The challenge is, minus accountability, the great equalizer is reduced to a sandbox. Forget Emily Post. Bullies seize control and set the tone.
Most commenter-bullies don't read the article, editorial or column, but use the forum as a springboard to rant. Screeds provide a safety valve for the disaffected, but they push out the majority of readers who might consider participating. The takeaway from rants, as well as racist diatribes, is they are not representative of the whole. Not unlike crime, the problem flows from a handful of repeat offenders. The maginals grab the Internet megaphone and blast away. The majority race for cover.
There is an old-school solution, a letter to the editor (it can be emailed as well) with an individual's real name and city. Years ago, repellent letters were sometimes returned to writers with a note, "We wanted to let you know that someone claiming to be you wrote the enclosed nonsense."
To disagree without being disagreeable doesn't come naturally, and the Internet facilitates the lesser angels. Soon The Herald will introduce new tools to streamline online comments and highlight those contributors advancing the discussion. Some lesser angels can be thwarted. Readers, all of us, deserve as much.

Thinking Frameworks
Looking at Thinking
Educators have been working for years on the development of a simple, practical framework to help teachers be more effective and systematic in teaching their students how to think. The result has been a confusing array of terms which often overlap and are defined differently by different authors. This section aims to clarify the research on thinking skills.
Bloom's Taxonomy >
By far, the most common model for describing thinking is Bloom's Taxonomy, a list of six thinking skills arranged from the most basic to the most advanced level. These descriptions are used to help teachers and students focus on higher-order thinking. Bloom lists a hierarchy of skills: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
Marzano's Taxonomy >
Robert Marzano, in response to problems he sees with Bloom's Taxonomy, has developed what he calls a New Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. His four systems: self, metacognitive, cognitive, and knowledge domain work together to produce learning. Generally, the information in Thinking Skills is organized around his work.
Learning Styles >
Research suggests that when students are introduced to a new concept through their learning styles, they are then able to adjust to different ways of learning. The consideration of learning styles also results in improved motivation and learning. Several frameworks have been suggested to describe the different ways in which students learn. The most commonly used framework identifies learners as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners. Howard Gardner's (1993) work on multiple intelligences has struck a chord with many educators as he identifies eight different ways in which students can be "intelligent": linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist.

you have a picture of a girl as your avatar. you put the pussy on a pedestal. you aint fuckin nothin.
Chill with your pick up artist lines. Pussy on a pedestal? From an avatar? like really? You got an anime ninja or some shit like your 13.
I get checking forums, b/c I do on phone n computer. But 12,000 posts talking about women.. seems kinda hypocritical to what you have to say.
I'm not saying guys who pick up girls don't have a social life or go on forums. I just found it funny the that the ones who talk themselves up the most about real life situations. Have an insane amount of posts. Just found it humorous that's all.

Seriously who cares if it's the same actress in the commercials?
This "news" is more commercial than the actual commercial by samsung. So many words over such a simple thing. Next time it will be like: "and in this new samsung anti-apple ad, when samsung makes photos of the same balloon as apple did, same mountain as apple did, same molecule of air as apple did" (facepalm)... I wish there was a button to vote for the quality of the article. "Hang the author" for this particular one.
Samsung is a big joke theycopy apple but still can't get there Samsung galaxy tabs 2 work had to replace my 7 inch tab twice then traded it in for 10.1 tab then sent that back due to motherboard fried low and behold came back week later had another problem eBay job as spares and repairs never again stick to my iPad from now on
Do have to say Samsung customer service was good but they have had lots of callers probably
Competition is the best news for the consumer. The better the device Samsung comes up with the better for everyone. Maybe other people will improve their devices because of it, including Apple.
I think that's what Samsung is trying to do, too, steal Apple's commercial ideas. It's faster that coming up with your own.
I think this was a planned PR stunt on samsungs part, to make their video go viral.
Do you guys have any idea how much money Samsung is making from Apple already? To all those bashing Samsung, 1/4th of the parts in your idevice is likely made by Samsung. They may look like enemies on the front, but Apple actually buys a lot of parts from Samsung (we'll see if they still do in the future)
Samsuck COPY everything, seriously get your own ideas. I hope Apple succeed in their lawsuits.
If your pissed because of this commercial, I really feel sorry for you,...ITS AN ACTRESS, not Apple's property, it isn't stealing anything, it isn't a camera Ad like the Apple iPhone Ad, they don't even take a picture the whole Ad, grow up people, this doesn't change anything, people aren't going to think "oh look, it is the same actress from the Apple ad, now she is doing a Samsung Tab Ad, this changes everything, i'm buying from Samsung now...", stop blowing out of proportion, many of Apple consumers didn't even know who Steve Jobs was when he passed away, now, do you really think they will follow which actresses are used in their commercials?
"Samsuck COPY everything, seriously get your own ideas. I hope Apple succeed in their lawsuits."
Yeah, iPads had LTE before em right?
"I think that's what Samsung is trying to do, too, steal Apple's commercial ideas. It's faster that coming up with your own."
Right, because Samsung's ad was about how revolutionizing their new camera was right? it's not even about a phone, or a camera, its a tablet, a tablet...at what point did Apple mention a tablet in their ad?

Thank you for the information.
From the backtrack blog
This probably means that if backtrack finally gets to this new kernel the problems with IWL 5K should be automatically fixed. But this is a long time to wait, so thanks for your post. I will probably use it when I need it. But currently there is no need.Kernel 2.6.34 (RC2 for now) delivers fixed Broadcom b43 drivers, and allows injection with 4315 and 4312 chipsets. This kernel is currently in testing, and should be out of RC stages in a couple of months. As of now, it seems that the future transition of BackTrack to this kernel will bring a significant amount of improvements, as well as a more mature mac80211 stack.

We accept payment for online orders by Visa, Mastercard, Maestro or Delta. Cards are debited when the order is first processed, after your order has been securely transferred to our offices and checked in.
Fulfilling your order
Normally, your order will leave our warehouse within 2-7 working days of receipt. If an item is temporarily out of stock, orders may be held to send out complete. Please note that items with "Buy" symbol that can be added to your basket are either in stock or due to become available in time for sowing, planting or normal use. We only set items to "Out of Stock" when there is no further stock available in that growing season.
If your order cannot be completed, items not enclosed will be marked 'to follow' and sent as soon as we receive them. There are times in the Winter/Spring when deliveries may take longer, particularly with items such as seed potatoes which cannot be despatched when there is high risk of frost.
Parcels under 2kg are sent by 2nd Class Post.
Delivery in the UK
Parcels over 1kg will be sent by YODEL, delivery 2-3 working days in Mainland UK, 3-5 working days to Northern Ireland and Scottish Highlands and Islands.
UK Post and Packaging Charges
If your order is under £12.00 we charge £1.90 postage and handling costs. If your order is between £12.00 and £60.00, we charge £3.95. Orders of £60 and over are FREE delivery in the UK only. The exception to this is that all orders including one or more PLANTS in the category called "Organic Plants - Individual Varieties" will be subject to an additional charge of £5.95 regardless of the overall value of an order.
Orders outside the UK
We welcome orders outside the UK, but we charge the cost of postage in addition to the cost of the goods, subject to a MINIMUM CHARGE of £3.85. The range of item weights in the catalogue prevents us from quoting fixed postage rates, so we calculate the actual cost of postage charge when your order has been packed. If the postage costs us more than £3.95 then we will charge the difference. So if the actual postage cost is £5.75 we will charge £2.00 extra. If you are paying by card and the difference is less than £5.00, we will charge your card and despatch the goods. If it is more than £5.00 we will not charge your card or despatch your goods until we receive the go ahead from you. If you are paying by Paypal we will send a Paypal request for the extra postage. Please be aware that seed potatoes, composts and fertilisers are very expensive to post outside the UK - usually more than doubling the price!
Channel Islands
Due to high parcel costs we regret we cannot send fertilisers, composts and other heavy items including seed potatoes to the Channel Islands without charging additional postage.
Seeds supplied to destinations outside the EU
Certain countries outside EU may require health certificates before seed can be imported. Please check the requirements in your country before ordering. We regret that it is not possible to supply such certificates for any item due to the cost of providing this service. We will not be responsible for any goods seized on arrival in the country of destination, or for any additional tax or carriage charges that may be levied locally. It is the responsibility of the customer to check local requirements before ordering.
Queries about your order
A packing note will be enclosed with your order. Please examine all goods on arrival, especially plants, bulbs and tubers. If you have a query with your order contact us as soon as possible on 01932 878570 or send us an email through the 'Contact Us' area of the site.
Unavailable items and 'Substitutes'
Every effort is made to ensure that the items advertised are available, though if a seed variety is sold out, we will send the nearest available substitute of equal or greater value or give a refund. If you DO NOT wish to receive a close substitute, please make sure you inform us when you order or write 'NO SUBSTITUTES' on your order form.

19 U.S. Code § 2801 - Congressional findings and purposes
§ 2801.
Congressional findings and purposes
(a) Congress finds that—
there is a substantial imbalance in international wine trade resulting, in part, from the relative accessibility enjoyed by foreign wines to the United States market while the United States wine industry faces restrictive tariff and nontariff barriers in virtually every existing or potential foreign market;
the restricted access to foreign markets and the continued low prices for United States wine and grape products adversely affect the economic position of our Nation's winemakers and grape growers, as well as all other domestic sectors that depend upon wine production;
the competitive position of United States wine in international trade has been weakened by foreign trade practices, high domestic interest rates, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates;
wine consumption per capita is very low in many major non-wine producing markets and the demand potential for United States wine is significant; and
(b) The purposes of this chapter are—
to provide wine consumers with the greatest possible choice of wines from wine-producing countries;
to encourage the initiation of an export promotion program to develop, maintain, and expand foreign markets for United States wine; and
(Pub. L. 98–573, title IX, § 902, Oct. 30, 1984, 98 Stat. 3047.)
Short Title
Pub. L. 98–573, title IX, § 901, Oct. 30, 1984, 98 Stat. 3047, provided that:
"This title [enacting this chapter] may be cited as the 'Wine Equity and Export Expansion Act of 1984'."
