Some simple maths to outwit Tendulkar
A mathematician's plan and modern technology have helped England keep Sachin Tendulkar's bat quiet in the ongoing Test series against the Indian cricket team, a report in London claimed.cricket Updated: Aug 22, 2011 01:33 IST
A mathematician's plan and modern technology have helped England keep Sachin Tendulkar's bat quiet in the ongoing Test series against the Indian cricket team, a report in London claimed.
England has relied on drawing Tendulkar outside his offstump in the early part of his innings rather than let him get his runs on the onside and this ploy is the result of a computer simulator plan, created by team analyst Nathan Leamon.
"We feed into the simulator information about pitches and the 22 players who might play, nd it plays the game a number of times and tells us likely outcomes." Leamon was quoted as saying in a British newspaper.
Run jam
England believe Tendulkar largely gets his runs on the onside until he has made 50 and they have denied him the advantage completely.
Of the 261 balls bowled to Tendulkar by England's fast bowlers till the Edgbaston Test, 254 have pitched outside his off-stump, six have been in the line of the stump and just one beyond leg-stump.
Leamon, nicknamed "Numbers" by England players, breaks down the target area of the pitch into 20 blocks, each 100cm x15cm, in his software and bowlers begin to get a better idea of where to aim against a particular opponent.
'No rocket science'
England might claim they have sorted out Tendulkar but Sunil Gavaskar sees no great science behind such a discovery.
"Every batsman has his style of batting. It emerges from his grip. One with a heavy top hand, like the one Sourav Ganguly used to have, would be better on the off-side than he would be on the on-side.
"Tendulkar, if you notice, has a round top grip. It gives him a natural advantage on the onside. So that becomes your preferred mode of run-making," said Gavaskar.
"So it's no rocket science. I'm glad it took the world to discover Tendulkar's style after he has nearly 15,000 Test runs under his belt."

Since the Thrust 2 back in 1984, Britain has held the Land Speed Record, this also includes the greatly immortalized Thrust SSC of 1997 which remains the current world beater. Thus, Britain has held the record for three decades now.
Another Golden Age?
This is a remarkable time where the land speed record is concerned. This is because there are number of competing teams that are each going for land speed glory. This is reminiscent of other golden ages especially in the 1930s and 1960s. Today, there are three continents each having a go at being the fastest.

Two always seems better than one and the choice of a bunk bed can save space (and money) in the bedroom, fits perfectly into any child's room and easy access with ladders that safely transport children from the floor to the top floor, and a promise a lot of fun (Kids love them). With reputable brands like Atlantic, Bolton, Lea and Night & Day Furniture and NE Kids, you have great options to choose from. Try a boys or girls full bunk, L-shaped bunks with lofts, metal trundle beds, wood desks, futon versions, storage trundle units and more. For added versatility, we carry units that separate to 2 beds, stair sets, twin bunk beds, twin over full, twin over twin and even versatile futon style bunk beds. Get everything you need in our bunk bed furniture gallery.
Bunk Bed Safety Guide
From college campuses to children's bedrooms nationwide, the bunk bed is an important piece of furniture for small children and young adults. The reason why the bunk bed is so ubiquitous is that it is a space saver. Instead of spreading two beds over precious ground space in a bedroom or dorm room, beds can be stacked safely to take up half the floor space.
However, bunk beds improperly installed and maintained can be dangerous for those who sleep on them or use them as a study space. There are plenty of tips in order to protect your loved ones from harm in what is supposed to be one of the safest places in their lives: the bedroom.
Bunk Bed Installation
There are some simple steps that can be taken when installing a bunk bed in order to prevent injuries or damage to property. One step is to take careful measurement of the size of the upper bunk, which determines the size of the frame and the lower bunk. Ideally, the top bunk would be equal to or greater than 74" (6'2") in length and 38" (3'2") in width.
Another step is to make sure that the top bunk mattress is not so large that it rises over the guardrail. The best way to ensure this safety measure is to make sure that the mattress and foundation are no larger than 8 inches and that the mattress is at least 5 inches below the guard rail. These measurements ensure that the bunk bed will be balanced, will fit conventional bunk bed frames, and will allow more room for kids as they grow. Though this is a simple step, it is certainly one that people may overlook in looking for the best deal on new beds.
Another step is to install bunk bed safety rails on the long sides of the top bunk. These rails are typically made out of hard plastic or metal, though metal is the safest choice because of its tensile strength. Guardrails should be installed on both sides of the bed, to prevent falls from the bed and to keep the user from getting caught between the bed and the wall.
While rails alone give parents and friends a sense of security, they need to be installed properly in order to maximize safety. Proper installation involves tightening the screws connecting rail to frame as much as possible, doing a test of the rail by pulling on it with your hands, and checking regularly to make sure that the screws have not come loose. These simple steps have been proven to make bunk bed usage much safer.
Bunk Bed Safety Rules
For parents who want to make sure that the bunk bed doesn't lead to mishaps during playtime, a few simple rules can be set up in order to keep the bed's integrity intact. The first rule that should be established is that absolutely no horseplay allowed on the bunk bed, most especially on the top bunk. This includes playing games like catch or tag, which can cause undue stress and unnecessary wear and tear on the bed frame. As well, one bad move by a child on the top bunk can cause a broken leg or other serious injuries.
Another rule that is important is to prohibit more than one person to be on a bunk bed at one time. Having several people on a bunk can cause the bunk bed to jostle and weaken not only the bed frame, but also the foundation of the top bunk. A good rule of thumb is to make sure that less than 300 pounds is on the top bunk at all times. This may not be a problem for a child, but a group of children or a few college students can easily get up to 300 pounds and beyond.
There are a few more tidbits that can help parents and others determine the safest installation of bunk beds.
1. Bunk beds should always have ladders or steps leading to the top bunk, which is the safest way to reach the top level of the bunk frame. Some kids and young adults may want to climb up the side of the frame, but this has led to many injuries and broken bed frames from repeated abuse.
2. Bunk beds should never have water or other flotation devices as part of the mattress because leakage and instability ensue from such beds.
3. Finally, and most importantly for young children, there should never be any hanging attachments from the ceiling onto the top bunk. Mobiles and other objects hung from the ceiling can be choking hazards or can be harmful if they fall from their fixed positions.
These steps seem like they are common sense, but it is always good to have a checklist of considerations going into any home improvement project. Bunk beds are great space savers and fun for kids, but their proper installation is critical for their maximum efficiency.

I know the feeling of growing up as the fat girl with all skinny p perfect friends. i played sports all through high school but still was bigger than everyone. It doesn't help that I'm only 5'3 and was 175 I got all the, way up to 190. I just had my baby 7 months ago and I am proud to say I am down to 163 through hard work and determination. I know you can do this. Make time everyday for a work out whether its a walk for 15 min or a work out on here. And FIRST ELIMINATE THE WORDS CANT WONT AND DONT. Be positive say everyday I want to be healthy, I want inner and outer beauty, most important I WANT TO BE HAPPY WITH MYSELF! Look in the mirrior at your self when ya say it. I geniunly love ya girl and so proud for taking the first step to a happier you 😊 Dont ever give up on yourself.
Hi hunny! U poured ur heart out. Im here to tell u that u CAN DO IT! Last summer I was 200lbs. I am a small framed 5'5. I remember walking up three flights of stairs out of breath. I was depressed and unhealthy. Today I am 133 pounds and still losing. Girl block out everyone that is telling you you CANT do it. Weight loss is 90% mental motivation and 10% doing. Sign up for social websites such as sparkpeople, so you can have support 24/7. (Im on there lol). Your mind has to be consumed with weight loss. Youtube weight loss vlogs, make collages, surround yourself with weight loss success stories. Use technology to surround yourself with weight loss, and the rest will fall into place. In terms of exercise, you have to gradually build up your fitness. Start with cardio and strength, with a slow increase in intensity as you get more fit. You can do it hun!
Remember you are the only person who can stop you but from what I can tell you are already in the mindset! Just keep your chin up and smile. We are all here for you. We are your exercise family... 😺 KEEP GOING TOU CAN DO IT!!! xxx
Starving yourself is never the answer. It is especially dangerous to starve yourself and exercise. Eat portion controlled meals and exercise to the best of your abilities. You are beautiful and you are strong. Be the amazing person that we see you are. Good luck on your journey to an even more fabulous


text: You are cleaning your bathroom but the thing is our available faucet is just that on the sink. And you don't have a hose to use to put water in the pail. Here's a very helpful tip, get a dustpan, a dustpan, which only have a short holder, the kind of dustpan that you can use to clean tables and chairs. Put it under the faucet, put the face of the dustpan to where the water from the faucet flow, put holder on the middle edge of the sink, make it is as a spout when the water runs to fill the dustpan, it will go over the holder in which you made it as a spout so to fill your pail. No need to use a hose, your pail is already filled with water when you use that dustpan.

"Rose led the large orchestra in a reading of the score that honored the sparkling, richly melodic vein in Tippett's writing, the impressionistic melding of ancient and modern sound worlds, and the admirable fluidity of his craft. The ritual dance numbers took on a life of their own, and the buoyant singing of the chorus helped drive many of the evening's most vibrant moments."

Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering
Energy is a key component to people's everyday lives; and a secure energy future requires a balance between environmental impact and affordable supply. In petroleum engineering, students learn to evaluate potential oil and gas reservoirs, oversee drilling activities, select and implement recovery schemes, and design surface collection and treatment facilities. Geosystems engineers and hydrogeologists are concerned with the development and use of engineering approaches in the management of water resources in addition to oil and gas, as well as environmental restoration of contamination sites and other processes related to the subsurface. Petroleum and geosystems engineers are able to address and solve important issues that will lead to energy security and thus are in high demand.

A New York court hearing for actress Lindsay Lohan was delayed after prosecutors said they need more time to investigate assault allegations against her.
The "Liz & Dick" star was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault after she allegedly punched a woman in the face.
"The investigation into this case is continuing," TMZ quoted an unnamed prosecutor as saying.
The actress' attorney, Mark Heller, has dismissed the assault claim, contending that Lohan is "a victim of someone trying to capture their 15 minutes of fame."

I am on some sort of cooking/recipe kick! I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I have had more time to cook things and have wanted to make something that I always made in Mexico and have realized that my memory isn't quite as good as I thought it would be.
The other day I suddenly arrived to that extreme point of hunger that hypoglycemics get to when they don't eat the way they should. I don't even think hunger is a good way to describe it, especially to people who do not have hypoglycemia. If I were hungry, I wouldn't get so distracted and I would eat. No, this is not quite hunger. It is an extreme chemical imbalance in my body that can hit very suddenly. I can't quite think straight, I usually feel like I am going to pass out, and I start stumbling around the kitchen groping the counters and bent at a 90 degree angle clumsily looking for the best sort of chemical (food) to fix my malady. I think my hypoglycemia is more extreme when I am pregnant too.
Anyway, this isn't a post about hypoglycemia. This is a post about how in my stupor I was trying to figure out (and remember my head feels like it is in a cloud) what to eat. I saw that I had bought 2 wonderful avocados for two different recipes for the week. I had the bright idea to make guacamole. Somehow I started thinking, "if I use this, I will have to go to the store tonight to get more avocados for my recipes" and then I realized it didn't matter, and I could go to the store for avocados to replace my recipe avocados, PLUS get extras to make MORE guacamole later!
I sorely miss Mexico in respect to food, cooking, and shopping. My old habit of frequently making guacamole is no exception. I could literally just go grab a free avocado off the trees at my school and grab some fresh limes off of my own tree outside my house and make this delicious dish for next to nothing. When I went to the store, each avocado was $1.59. Sure, I guess if that is all you eat for lunch it comes out to be a mostly cheap meal, but compare that to what I was paying in Mexico: close to nothing.
You might be thinking, "why make guacamole when I can buy this stuff in a package at the supermarket?" or "I've used those seasoning packets and mixed them with avocados and it turned out great." Well, it turns out "great" to the unknowing pallet. The prepackaged stuff is pretty stale tasting, and the seasoning packets you can buy to add to an avocado probably have a ton of unpronouncable chemicals. Bleh. If you want pure, heavenly freshness, try a variation of my recipe below.
Guacamole Recipe
1 Avocado
1 Key Lime
1 Roma Tomato
Your choice of fresh tasting, authentic salsa (with a limited amout of ingredients!)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cut the avocado in half. Scoop out of the skin with a spoon. Mash using two forks. Dice then add the tomato. Squeeze the juice of the lime in to the soon-to-be guacamole. I use a handy dandy exprimiador, which is a lime press. For this recipe, I actually didn't have any fresh limes, so I used the bottled lime juice. Please avoid doing this! Add about 1/2 cup of salsa. Sprinkle with salt (I think I used maybe 1/2 teaspoon?) and a tad of pepper.
Test your guacamole. If it seems to be lacking a bit of flavor, you might need another few shakes of salt, another tablespoon of salsa, or an extra squeeze of lime! You will figure it out!
Here is an awesome INSIDER tip! If you make the guacamole for a party or for later, it might turn kind of yucky brown. To avoid this, SAVE THE PIT and stick it inside the guacamole till it is time to serve it. Also, cover it tightly with plastic wrap. This also works if you (for some crazy reason) only want to use 1/2 an avocado and you want to save the other half for later… the "other half" will get brown unless you leave the pit in it (and place in a ziplock bag). Great authentic secret!
As I would say in Mexico, or just anytime speaking Spanish, disfrútalo! or enjoy it!

Happy Birthday Jim16 Jan 2009
By Nicola West (Editor/Writer (UK))
On January 17th Jim Carrey will be celebrating his 47th birthday, one day before the highly anticipated release of "I Love You Phillip Morris" at the Sundance Film Festival.
It's been a very busy year for Jim, one which saw him travelling to Madagaskar and Washington DC on behalf of his charities 'Better U' and 'Generation Rescue'. We've also seen "Horton Hears a Who!" released on DVD, whilst several of his back catalogue films were released on HD. Perhaps the most exciting thing to happen however, was the release of the blockbuster comedy "Yes Man" which took him to Europe for the promotion tour.
After such a productive and successful year, it's fitting that he will begin the next on another high, as ILYPM is released. This year will also see him taking the 'Better U' Foundation to an international food production sumit, to promote the System of Rice Intensification.
"A Christmas Carol" will be released in December and next month the release of "Under the Sea 3D".
All at Jim Carrey Online send out our warmest birthday wishes to Jim, we hope he has a wonderful day and the best of luck for 'Sundance'.

The video, which was posted online by Olympic luger Kate Hansen, became an overnight sensation, fooling thousands of people on social networks - as well as many mainstream media outlets including US news networks CNN and Fox News - and the Mirror.
The talk show host revealed the prank on his Thursday night show, showing how he created a hotel set so convincing even real-life members of hotel security were starting to get nervous.
It's not the first time Kimmel has successfully punked the public with a hoax video.
In September he revealed he was behind a viral video showing a woman catching fire after an 'epic twerking stunt' went horribly wrong.
The clip had clocked up 9m views before Kimmel admitted it was a hoax all along.

So now it falls upon Curse of Chucky to restore the "scary" to the franchise, by which we mean that the bulk of the action takes place in a cavernous old house at night, and that the diminutive Mr. Lee Ray carries out the majority of his misbehaviour off-camera (rather than noisily gallivanting around in full view like a sort of homicidal Sam Kinison). As is often the case with Child's Play movies, our story begins with Chucky being delivered to some unsuspecting people who, through an odd foible of character, don't take one look at him and immediately return him to sender before spending the rest of their lives trying to remove his taint from their bodies with hydrochloric acid and wire scrubbers. The people, in this instance, are wheelchair-bound young woman Nica (Fiona Dourif, who manages to accomplish the unnerving feat of simultaneously bearing a striking resemblance to her dad, Brad "Chucky" Dourif, and being kinda hot) and her flaky mum. Speaking of folks with peculiar faces, the more astute amongst you may have noticed that Chucky's familiar moulded visage seems to have been somewhat altered this time around. He looks a bit…different. Fear not: the reason for this becomes apparent later on in the film (this film sure does like to explain things – particularly in the latter half, where it reels about like a drunk aunt at a wedding reception, hysterically babbling "home truths").
For the first half, though, we operate on the well-worn "assembly of roughly sketched, largely unappealing characters congregate in big, spooky building to be bumped off" template. Amongst the players soon to "exeunt stage right pursued by a doll" are:-
Father Frank (A Martinez) – reticent priest with a chinny beard whose function is mainly to sit there looking like a wise old ape.
Barb (Danielle Bisutti - Insidious: Chapter 2) - Nica's prissy, materialistic sister, who somehow looks more artificial and plastic than our leading man (and who may be having an affair with Jill the hot nanny, because woo, lesbians, amirite guys?!)
Jill (Maitland McConnell) – implausibly attractive childcare professional and potential lipstick lesbian (soon to be disrobing to a vaguely titillating and yet wholly unsatisfying extent in a scene near you!)
Ian (Brennan Elliott) – Barb's husband and our resident dickhead misapprehender of situations
Some kid (Some kid) – Because somebody's gotta innocently and earnestly relay what "Chucky said" to the adults
So it is that these poor souls are left in a big, spooky house with Chucky, who locks the door, casts a warding spell to keep out the meddling powers of plausibility and reason, and sets to thinning their ranks. The "back to basics" approach means that he's employing pretty conventional, tried-and-tested methods, too. There's a poisoning, which is milked for as much suspense as possible (including a couple of groan-worthy, false alarm "Ooh! Aaargh! Cough! Splutter! I'd just like to say a few words…" moments), but otherwise it's all pretty pedestrian stuff. Chucky's one-liners continue to be as bafflingly banal as ever (seriously, what is the go with that - he makes Freddy's material look like molten gold droplets of Wildian wit?!).
Playing With Dolls: The Making of Curse of Chucky - Serviceable behind the scenes doco in which all concerned gush excitedly about how awesome everyone else was to work with and various death scene makeup techniques from the movie are skimmed over.
Living Doll: Bringing Chucky to Life - Much more interesting look at the technical work that goes into…well, bringing Chucky to life. Note for future franchise endeavours: if you want to make Chucky really freaky-looking, don't bother putting his skin on.

Sub Interface command allows you to assign multiple addresses to a single interface. Particularity useful in a lab environment. That way we don't have to purchase a ton of T1 WICs or serial interface cards and expensive cables to connect all of the equipment.
R1#configuration terminal
R1(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0
R1(config-if)#ip address 10.2.1.1 255.255.255.0
Sub interface command
R1(config-if)#interface 0/0.1
Assigns the Sub interface it's own IP address
R1(config-if)#ip address 10.1.4.1 255.255.255.252
If you use a sub-interface in a VLAN, be sure that you define the encapsulation type (encapsulation dot1q) with the VLAN number. Also, a good tip if you use sub-ints in a VLAN to number the sub-int with the VLAN number--i.e. a sub-int in VLAN 505 would be int gig0/0.505.
Just a couple reminders :)
Appreciate the tips, I'll keep that in mind for my exam! :)
Yeah, I'd add Montee's note into the howto, It's a critical point with those subinterfaces, and can prevent a headache for someone following step by step. Just my two cents.
Appreciate the feedback, it really helps me fully understand the material. Thanks!

Payvand.com - According to the research reporter of ISNA, the researchers in the Iranian university of Science and Industry managed to synthetically produce a durable catalyst for the process of reforming Methane and Carbon Dioxide.
Dr Mehran, a graduate from the chemistry department of the Science and Industry University said: This catalyst is used in petrochemical industries to transform the natural gas into synthetic gas (mixture of Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide). The reforming process is normally done by using vapour bath or partial oxidation.
Member of the Chemistry Department of Kashan University added: With the new catalyst the process is done in a dry environment and has the advantage of using two green house gases, namely Methane and Carbon Dioxide.
Dr Rezaii said: In conventional methods of reforming using vapour bath, the ratio of Hydrogen to Carbon Monoxide is between thee and six, which can be obtained by the dry reforming process as well.
This member of the scientific board of Kashan University said: The main difficulty in the reforming process is that the catalysts becomes inactive very quickly; but in the new material, the base for the catalysts is Zirconium Dioxide instead of Nickel which is produced by using the nanotechnology synthetically.
He added: The conventional catalysts become inactive after five hours but the synthetic ones can last more than 1550 hours, which has been tested. There has not been such sustainability in such catalysts up to now.
The graduate of the chemistry department added: The use of nanotechnology in this process makes it feasible for industrial production on a larger scale.
It should be noted this scheme was the subject of the Doctoral thesis of Mehran Rezaii with the consultation of Dr Seyed Mehdi Alavi and Dr Saeed Sahebdel and the collaboration of the Danish company Haldor Topsoe A/S and Chinese CNPC company (Chinese Petrol University); the results of these researches have been published in more than 10 articles and presented in various international conferences.

Debian 6.0, squeeze, has been the stable version of Debian for over 18 months now. With the relatively slow release cycle for Debian distros, it will likely be the current release for at least another year, and because of this it is of course getting point updates. Debian 6.0.6 is available now, as part of the ongoing support.
The update includes up-to-date packages compared to the previous ISOs, as well as various security updates. Packages that have been updated include nVidia drivers, Plymouth, Memcached, and the Linux Kernel. Security fixes are applied to Iceweasel, PHP 5, OpenOffice.org, qemu, and many more.
If you're already running Debian 6.0, a simple apt-get update will keep you up to date with these changes. You can grab the ISO from the Debian website.

FUGITIVE multi-millionaire fraudster and Liberal Democrat donor Michael Brown is set to face an extradition hearing in Spain early next week.
Brown was arrested in the Dominican Republic in January and flown to Madrid yesterday where he was in the process of being handed over to British officials.
He fled the UK to the Caribbean after being convicted of fraud at Southwark Crown Court in 2008 and was sentenced in his absence to seven years in jail.
He was detained in the tourist town of Punta Cana over an unrelated fraud charge.
A City of London Police spokesman said: "Michael Brown was deported from the Dominican Republic and landed in Madrid on Saturday morning, accompanied by officers from the Dominican Republic.
"City of London Police will be taking the appropriate steps to bring him back to the UK, via a European Arrest Warrant."
Detective Superintendent Bob Wishart said: "The City of London Police is pleased that after four years evading British justice, Mr Brown is a step closer to returning to the UK to start his prison sentence.
"We hope that him facing justice will bring some closure to the victims who suffered as a result of his frauds."
A spokesman for the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) said: "The process would be for an individual to be taken to Madrid for an extradition hearing.
"Once that extradition is agreed there's a 10-day period for him to be extradited to the UK. We would expect the process to start early next week."
Brown donated about £2.4 million to the Lib Dems ahead of the 2005 general election, its largest donation to date.
He had been living on the Caribbean island under the name of Darren Nally, officials in the Caribbean said.
An international manhunt was launched when Brown went on the run after stealing nearly £8 million from the former chairman of Manchester United.
He posed as a highly successful bond dealer and claimed connections with royalty to steal the money from Martin Edwards.
He secretly used investors' money to fund the record donation to the Lib Dems' election war chest and also blew a large slice of his ill-gotten gains on an "extravagant" lifestyle.
Dominican police said Brown was also charged with defrauding people in Punta Cana, but the alleged victims dropped their complaints so he could be extradited.
An Electoral Commission inquiry in 2009 found the Lib Dems accepted the fraudster's donation in good faith and cleared the party of all wrongdoing.
A Lib Dem party spokesman said: "We completely welcome any further steps to bring this man to justice."

Infrastructure industries services provider Service Stream Service Stream is tendering for further design and construction work on the NBN project, according to managing director, Graeme Sumner.
The company has already designed the NBN's first release sites in Armidale and Minnamurra, and participated in NBN Co's request for capability statement, Sumner told investors at the company's AGM.
Service Stream's communications business will also earn an estimated $250 million in FY11 from an expanded network design, construction and maintenance services contract with Telstra, he added.
Under the revised contract, now extended until June 2012, the unit will provide over 60 per cent of Telstra's outsourced installation, maintenance and construction services.
As part of the revised agreement, Service Stream's maintenance contract for Telstra payphones has also been extended until June 2011.
The pipeline of opportunities for the communications division has led the company to take an "optimistic view" going forward, Sumner said.
"The development of national broadband capacity [and] projected increases in mobile network construction...suggest that we could be entering a significant growth phase," he said.
Service Stream swung to a $2.5 million loss in FY10 from an $11.1 million profit the year before. Revenue shrunk 7.2 per cent to $517.7 million.

The last SWEMN presentation of term will take place next Wednesday, 3rd December, starting at 6.30pm. Kate Ellis, who is a PhD student at Bath Spa, will be giving a paper on 'Textual Underpinnings of A Game at Chesse.' Her abstract follows, with directions to the event.
To ensure a sufficiency of wine on Wednesday, it would be helpful if you could drop a line to Tracey Hill if you are planning to come along.
The circulation of oral and literate culture in Early Modern England has been the subject of much recent research. Drawing upon a variety of sources, including play texts, letters, pamphlets and other records, this paper will aim to show that theatre in the seventeenth century, particularly in 1620s and 1630s, provides an ideal medium through which to explore this circulation. Through a detailed consideration of Middleton's 1624 play, A Game At Chess, I will focus primarily on the role of the audience in the dissemination of oral and literate culture. This paper will explore the ways in which the audience's experience of, and response to, the King's Men's performance opened a dialogue between social boundaries, taking the play out of the Globe into a far wider political theatre, playing out scenes in settings as diverse as the Office of the Revels and the Spanish court. Through a network of communication, both oral and written, Middleton's play prompted a discourse in which the ordinary London theatregoer occupied the same textual framework as the Spanish ambassador, exposing the oral and textual underpinnings of the Caroline stage as both a commercial enterprise and a vehicle for propaganda.
Directions and a map of the Newton Park campus are here.
We will meet in the Castle, room CE.G01 on the ground floor (yes, a real castle!). The nearest car park is next to Newton building (see map); directions to Newton Park by public transport are also on the BSU website.

Mastering the Phone Interview
By Peter Vogt, MonsterTRAK Career Coach
You just got word that you landed a job interview with a company that really interests you – only there's a slight catch.
You won't be meeting with your interviewer(s) face to face. Instead, you'll be taking part in a phone interview, the results of which will determine whether you're invited to meet with company representatives in person.
Many companies use phone interviews as an initial employment screening technique for a variety of reasons. Because they're generally brief, phone interviews save companies time. They also serve as a more realistic screening alternative for cases in which companies are considering out-of-town (or out-of-state and foreign) candidates.
So the chances are pretty good that, at some point in your job hunt, you'll be asked to participate in a 20- to 30-minute phone interview with either one person or several people on the other end of the line. In many ways, the way you prepare for a phone interview isn't all that different from the way you'd get ready for a face-to-face interview — save for a few slight additions to and modifications of your list of preparation tasks.
Here's what to do:
1) Treat the phone interview seriously, just as you would a face-to-face interview.
2) Have your resume and cover letter in front of you.
3) Make a cheat sheet.
4) Get a high-quality phone.
5) Shower, groom and dress up (at least a little).
6) Stand up, or at least sit up straight at a table or desk.
A phone interview seems so informal on the surface that it can be easy to fall into the trap of "phoning it in" — i.e., not preparing for it as well as you would for an in-person interview. Don't get caught with your guard down. Be sure to research the company, study the job description, and practice your responses to anticipated questions, just as you would for any other interview.
You'll almost certainly be asked about some of the information that appears on these documents. You might also want to have in front of you any supporting materials that relate to information in your resume and cover letter, like documents you've designed or written, a portfolio of your various projects, or the written position description from your key internship.
Jot down a few notes about the most critical points you want to make with your interviewer(s). Are there certain skills and experiences you want to emphasize? Do you have certain interests or passions you want your interviewer(s) to know about and understand? Be sure these pieces of information appear on your crib sheet. Then touch on them during the interview, even if your only chance to do so is at the end of the session when the interviewer asks you if you have any questions or anything to add.
This isn't the time to use a cell phone that cuts in and out, or a cheaply made phone that makes it difficult for you and your interviewer(s) to hear and understand each other.
Odd advice? Perhaps. But focusing on your appearance, just as you would for a normal interview, will put you in the right frame of mind from a psychological standpoint. You won't do as well in your phone interview if you're lying in bed, for example, or if you're draped over your couch in your pajamas.
Again, there's a psychological, frame of mind aspect to consider here. But on a more tangible level, research has shown that you project yourself better when you're standing up, and you'll feel more knowledgeable and confident.
Phone interviews can be tricky, especially since you aren't able to read your interviewers' nonverbal cues like facial expressions and body language during the session — a big difference from the typical interview. But if you prepare well for your phone interview, you won't need to read anyone's nonverbals to gauge your performance. You'll know for sure how you've done because you'll be invited to a face-to-face interview, where you'll have yet another opportunity to prove you're the best person for the job.

I gave the local newspapers a hard time after the murder of journalist Chauncey Bailey. I was dismayed and a little surprised that no Bay Area paper tried to uncover the facts that led to Bailey's assassination. I ascribed the indifference, in part, to the recent media consolidation that left the region with just two newspaper chains – The San Francisco Chronicle, owned by Hearst Corp. and Dean Singleton's MediaNews.

A resident of Gray, Tennessee, David Psimer heads administration and construction projects as owner and chief executive officer of DP Builders. In his free time, David Psimer enjoys cooking a variety of foods, including steaks.
Making the perfect steak may seem difficult for many home cooks. It is easy to overcook or dry out a steak if you do not use the correct techniques. Even if you are not a professional chef, you can still make quality steaks in the comfort of your own home by using the following tips:
-Choose a good cut. There are a wide variety of steak cuts that you can purchase for grilling. Make sure to choose a cut that is fresh and full of fat marbling, which prevents the steak from drying out and adds flavor. You can find sirloins, rib eye, and filets at most grocery stores, but you should also consider buying other excellent cuts such as tri-tip and strip steak.
-Season it well. While preparing your steak, it is important to season the meat to add flavor. Use good salt and freshly cracked pepper in large amounts, remembering to season the sides as well. To make sure the seasoning adheres to the meat, wet your hands and rub the steak to create a paste. You can also use herb butter or spice rubs to incorporate more flavor into your steak.
-Watch the temperature. Maintaining the right temperature is crucial to cooking steak. You can invest in steak thermometers to manage the internal heat. Cook a steak to 125 degrees to maintain rareness, or cook it to 140 degrees for a medium sear. You can also see if a steak is done by testing its firmness. A steak will feel soft if it is rare and very firm if it is well done.

Celebrate Hearing Day
Sponsor fun events and activities at your school to celebrate hearing!
Idea At A Glance
Let's start celebrating hearing!
Each year, March 3rd is the World Health Organization's International Day for Ear and Hearing. Your school or university could organize events in your community to celebrate the day and raise awareness of hearing health.
On that day, you could encourage people to wear a special t-shirt or a wristband to show their support for people with hearing loss. Or, you could rally support for a "moment of non-silence" in your community, with singing, shouting, whistling, and music to celebrate hearing.
No matter how you celebrate, you could share videos of your local celebration with other schools around the world via social media. This could help start a global movement to recognize hearing loss as an important health issue.
Earth Hour is a global event organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to raise awareness and encourage action on climate change. Each March, households and businesses can participate by turning off all non-essential lighting for one hour. The movement has grown substantially in size since the first Earth Hour was held in Sydney Australia in 2007. In 2012, approximately 7,000 cities in 152 countries switched off their lights and participated in Earth Hour.
International Women's Day has been observed on March 8 every year for over 100 years. The day aims to celebrate women's achievements and to highlight economic, political, and social challenges women around the world still experience. On one website, people are invited to share events in their country, such as art exhibitions, lectures, conferences, and dinners.
Potential Impact
Events and activities in your local community can contribute to a global movement to make people around the world recognize hearing loss as an important health issue. Connecting the day with fun activities and events can encourage large-scale public participation and attract media attention.
Even one event, in one isolated community, can grow into a chain of events around the world that draws attention to hearing health.


text: I have been having a boat load of issues with my Eris lately. Terrible phone delay when trying to make outgoing calls, browser issues, no more camera, etc. Last night it cut itself off and would not turn on. I did a battery pull and it finally came on. I put it in my pocket and didn't pull it out for about 15 minutes. Apparently in that time frame, it sent one random text "Oh lol. Its ok." to my husband. This is def something I have sent before at some point but why the one random message to one person. He wasn't even the last person I had texted before the shut down. Any answers?

When you first get into prepping, there seems to be a lot of essential things to remember. All of the terminologies are new, and you are wondering what things like a "bug out bag" can be. Most fellow preppers like to overwhelm you with information, and sometimes it just gets to be too much. But, there are some things which are more important than others, and there are 12 emergency essential foods you shouldn't forget about. Some of them might surprise you.
Essential Food Number One – Honey
My husband, an Egyptologist, keeps finding thousand-year-old honey in the tombs in Egypt. It doesn't seem to matter if the person buried in the tomb was rich or poor, honey was often left for the person to take with them into the afterlife. The honey which he finds is still okay to eat, and surprisingly it tastes fresh. Honey is not only a good food which can add flavor and be used when cooking, but it is a natural remedy as well. It can be used to treat all sorts of infections and is fantastic when it comes to wound care. Next time you cut yourself, put on some honey and see how quickly your cut heals.
Essential Food Number Two – Peanut butter
Peanut butter is very high in calories and that makes it the ideal food when it comes to prepping. It will give you quick calories to burn up when you are in a crisis, and it can help your food taste better as well. Add it to casseroles and chicken dishes, not only do you get essential nutrition but at the same time you get tastier food and increase your protein intake.
Essential Food Number Three – Dried Meat
In a crisis, fresh meat will become a real problem. It is best to be prepared and investing in freeze dried meats should be on top of your essential food list. It is rich in protein, and none of the nutrients would have been lost during the freeze-drying process. Freeze dried meats are also quick to prepare, and if you have limited energy, they are a better option than fresh meat, should you have access to it.
Essential Food Number Four – Freeze dried vegetables
One of the best ways to make sure that you get healthy vegetables during a crisis is to stock up on freeze dried vegetables, Just like freeze dried meat, vegetables will not lose any essential nutrients during the process. They also taste great, and more than anything, they will give your body essential vitamin B. Our bodies cannot manufacture vitamin B, so we need a daily intake. One of the best ways to store dry foods like this is to seal them inside Mylar bags. We get ours from MylarPro.com. They seem to have to most durable food storage bags and they usually even include a bundled package of enough oxygen absorbers to remove any oxygen residing inside the sealed bag so that your food won't perish.
Essential Food Five – Nuts
Become a squirrel and start storing nuts. Fresh unshelled nuts have an almost unlimited life and make a fantastic prepper food. You can store them almost anywhere, and they are easy to take with you. A handful of nuts every day will help to keep up your intake of vitamin E, and you get an enormous amount of slow release energy from nuts. There are some places you can gather your own nuts, and the humble hazelnut is one of the best nuts for energy. Just ask as a squirrel!
Essential Food Six – Canned Fish
Yes, fish is good for you, but you should focus on fish like cold water fish. All cold water fish is rich in Omega 3 essential fatty acids, another nutrient your body cannot manufacture and will help to keep you healthy. It is also rich in protein, and you should stock up on salmon, tuna, herring and mackerel. The more cold water fish you have in your pantry, the healthier you will be.
Essential Food Seven – Rice
White rice is one thing, but there are many different kinds of rice that you can store. The truth is that whole grain rice is much better for you. There are more nutrients in whole grain rice, and is a good way of getting extra vitamin B in your diet. It is also versatile to cook with, and you can prepare it in the same pot as your vegetables and meat. Learning how to cook with rice, is a good preparation exercise.
Essential Food Eight – Dried Fruit
We should never ignore the health values of dried fruits. Some fruits, like apricots and prunes, actually increase their nutritional value during the drying out process. They become richer in protein, and natural food sugars. But, also remember to include dried apples and bananas. Both are packed with natural energy, rich in potassium and pectin.
Essential Food Nine – Wheat
Wheat, or other grain products, are natural foods which can be stored for a long time during the right conditions. You can use them for baking, and add them to food. Don't forget that white flour isn't that good for you, and it is better to focus on whole grain products.
Essential Food Ten – Salt
Salt is really good when it comes to preserving meat and fish if you can access fresh foods. If, you can, learn how to preserve with salt before a crisis. You will be surprised to discover how versatile salt can be. It can be used to preserve fish, meat, and vegetables.
Essential Food Eleven – Sugar
Sugar is important when you do your baking, but it can be used as part of preservation techniques as well such as canning. It can also be used to make pastes with for wound treatments. Sugar is a quick source of energy, but may not be good if you need to go on a long hike. Much more likely to make you tired than to keep you going.
Essential Food Twelve – Have a drink
We should never underestimate the importance of tea and coffee. Both are actually good for us in more ways than one. They can help to raise our mood, and warm us up at the same time. Herbal teas belong in your medical cupboard as well, and coffee can aid an upset stomach.
It always surprises me when preppers' blogs don't mention vinegar. I know that it may not seem essential, but to me it is. You can use it to start pickling your own vegetables and fruit. In this way, you can take advantage of your garden's and nature's bounty. Yes, there are 12 emergency essentials food you shouldn't forget about, but there are other food products you should add to your prepper's essential shopping list as well.

Guide of the month: January 2018
Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

On-the-Job Training in the Air Force: A Systems Analysis. Final Report.
Stephenson, Robert W.; Burkett, James R.
A systems analysis of the Air Force On-the-Job-Training (OJT) System was conducted to describe its operation, structure, requirements, and functions, and to develop new or improved methods and alternatives for evaluating the effectiveness of OJT programs. Seven major command headquarters locations were visited for the purpose of discussing possible ways of improving the system with OJT staffs and to discuss plans to make site visits to field-activity locations. The staffs were asked to comment on plans for field activity questionnaires and to evaluate preliminary ideas for improving OJT programs. A number of base-level field-activity locations were then visited. An analysis was made of OJT policies and procedures at each location. Ways of improving the OJT program were discussed with OJT administrators and work-center superintendents. Questionnaires were criticized and refined by small groups of work-center superintendents, OJT administrators, and trainees. On later site visits, some data was gathered using these questionnaires. Seventeen problem areas were identified during the visits and conferences. The nature of each problem area was defined, in part, by reactions of work-center superintendents and OJT administrators to specific suggestions for improving the Air Force OJT program. Three complete revisions were made and 75 recommendations were under consideration when the field-activity visits ended. Additional information about problem areas was obtained by analyzing survey data collected by the Air Force OJT Advisory Service in their 1973 survey of 1,592 OJT supervisors and 1,580 trainees. Thirty tentative conclusions were drawn. Specific recommendations for program changes were made, including recommendations for field tests and surveys to validate those conclusions that require additional information prior to wide-scale implementation. The specific conclusions and related recommendations, along with individual priority ratings, are included in the report. (LAS)

Business and Financing Models
A project implementer who is considering engaging in an improved cookstove project needs to consider the appropriate business models to support the design, manufacture, distribution, sales, marketing and maintenance of cookstoves, and potentially fuels as well. There are many different business models for clean cooking carbon projects, in order to determine which is right for your project, the following questions need to be answered:
What are the technology and design choices? More specifically, what are the design priorities (cost, fuel efficiency, emission reduction, attractiveness and/or ease of use)? What is the basic technology type (natural, forced draft, gasification, simple combustion)? What is the fuel type (raw biomass, processed biomass, charcoal, ethanol, LPG, biogas)? What is the manufacturing strategy (imported, mass-produced locally, made by artisans)?
Who are the target customers? More specifically, what are the demographic characteristics of households (income, education, occupation, household size, gender)? What is the geographic or regional focus? What is the dwelling location and type (rural, urban, peri-urban)? What are the competing fuels and cooking methods (kerosene, open fire, traditional stoves)?
What is the marketing strategy? More specifically, what are the product selling points (cost effectiveness, faster cooking time, health concerns)? How will the product be advertised (TV, radio, magazines, Internet, word-of-mouth, billboards, live demonstrations)?
What is the channel strategy? More specifically, what are the means of building and incentivizing a distribution network? What are the maintenance and after-market support strategies? What are the means of sourcing fuels (if the stove uses processed fuel)?
What are the organizational characteristics? More specifically, what is the type of organization (branch of a foreign/multinational company, indigenous company, NGO, government agency)? How many employees are there? How much experience does the management team have? What are the expected commercial and social returns? Are there other products sold by the organization, and, if so, does the organization have experience with products that are analogous to cookstoves?
For more information on business models, please see Cookstoves and markets: Experiences, successes and opportunities (GVEP, 2009), and Improved stoves in India: A study of sustainable business models (Shrimali et al., 2011).
Potential investments/funding models
A typical clean cookstove carbon project involves two main phases: the project implementation phase, where the project is registered under a carbon standard, and the operational phase, where carbon credits are continuously monitored, and then verified and sold. Different types of funding can support each step of the project. Typically, the following activities need funding:
- Project Implementation Phase: setting up an organization (for implementation/distribution/maintenance), office infrastructure, conducting feasibility studies, performing baseline surveys, providing training and capacity building, registering the project under a carbon standard, as well as procuring the clean cookstoves and distributing them. All these activities result in one-time costs, which typically need to be covered upfront.
- Project Operation Phase: covering operational expenditures like salaries, rent and other recurring costs, performing continuous monitoring and data collection, record-keeping, verifying the project in regular intervals, and maintaining the improved cookstoves. These activities result in recurring costs during the operation phase of a project.
In most cases, the project implementation relies on funds from investors or grants from development agencies (sometimes in the form of overseas development assistance (ODA)) to cover the initial costs of the project.
Carbon credits may be sold in advance ("sold forward") or after they are issued by a carbon standard. If credits are sold after issuance, the revenue can only be used to cover operational costs, because the transaction happens during the project's operational phase. If carbon credits are sold in advance, usually for a significant discount, pre-payments may be obtained to cover upfront investment during the implementation phase of the project.
The types of available funding models may also depend on the legal status and other characteristics of the project developer. In some cases, a private company may have more difficulty in accessing grants and ODA agencies.
Typical activities in a project cycle are listed below, along with potential sources of funding.
|Project cycle stage
|Private investment
|Implementation phase
|Setting up organization,
office infrastructure,
project feasibility studies,
baseline surveys
|ODAs from grants agency
|Project provides or acquires own funds
|Implementation phase
|Training and capacity building,
registering the project under a carbon standard,
procuring clean cookstoves and distributing them
|ODAs from grants agency;
Public-private partnerships
|Private capital investment;
loans (concessional or market based);
public-private partnerships; prepayments from,
carbon credits sold 'forward'
|Operational phase
|Operational expenditures like salaries,
rent and other recurring costs,
continuous monitoring and data collection,
record keeping,
verification and issuance of carbon credits,
servicing the improved cookstoves
Several organizations specifically support the development of improved cookstove projects with carbon finance. How easily financing can be accessed from these various organizations varies depending on the project development stage and characteristics of the project developer. Below is a non-exhaustive list of organizations and programs that have provided grants and loans to carbon project developers:
- DFID (United Kingdom)
- AFD (France)
- Global Environmental Facility (GEF)
- Austrian Energy Agency
- GIZ – HERA program
- CDM Loan Scheme
- ACAD (African Carbon Asset Development)
- Asian Development Bank
- InterAmerican Development Bank
- Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa
- Grameen Bank
- GVEP (Global Villages Energy Partnership)

You'd have a hard time outrunning the Hovitos without one of these holding your pants up.
1 1/4" military style cotton web belts in your choice of colors: "Crusade Khaki" or the elusive "Raiders Brown". You even have your choice of buckle material. Gold colored steel like the ones used on screen, or solid brass like the kind used in the military. Which one's better? The one you like the best.
Sort-of-Interesting Factoid: Indiana Jones wore a brown web belt in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and a khaki belt in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" he wears both (not together, of course!).
Please measure your waist before you place an order. Our sizes do not match retail.

Great belt to complete your Indy look or to use regularly with casual or formal attire.

I had a heck of a time getting the metal end through the buckle. Appears the crip on the from metal piece was not good so it wouldn' go through.

I have one brown and one tan for use with my gear and another tan that I used to replace the belt on my Navy uniform that I wear every day. This very inexpensive belt is nicer than the ones I can get from the Navy uniform store where real brass buckles are no longer an option.

Originally I bought this to complete my Indiana Jones costume, most of which consists of vintage or "authentic" items. Not only did this belt fit the bill, I was able to get it in the proper size for me. Belt was so nice I started wearing it regularly to work!
Posted by Kalen Ortiz on 20th Sep 2011
It's hard to go wrong with a standard web belt. Todd's hits the mark with these excellent web belts! I now own both colors of belts, and use them both regularly. It's essential for the Indy costume, so don't forget to add one (or both) to your order!
Posted by jvpeters on 19th Sep 2011
This is a nice webbed belt and it's great that Todd has offered the different buckle options. Be sure to buy bigger than your regular size. You cna always cut the belt, but you cannot make it any bigger.

Comments by Jan Hanford:
A wonderful recording. The harpsichord performances are excellent and the orchestra is rich and lively. The inclusion of BWV 1061a for 2 solo harpsichords without accompaniment is very unusual, the performance is outstanding and makes owning this cd essential.
Robert Levin's several recordings in the Hanssler Edition Bachakademie are oustanding. His performances are all excellent.

|Home | About | Contact | Vitamins for Schizophrenia
I did some fairly academic work at my job today. I won't go into detail. I also then came home and turned on Second Life and had a brief chat with some educators. No one there knew I had schizophrenia. Schizophrenia also did not come up at work but will tomorrow as we prepare at work for the International Day for Persons with Disabilities this coming Monday, December 3rd. I know many consumer survivors do not consider schizophrenia or depression or other labeled condition a disability but I do think of this this way. I am coming out and disclosing next week in the workplace although I will be labeled an invisible disability. My father thinks I should have waited until I had landed a permanent government job. But I am nearing late middle age and it is now time to stand up and be counted as someone with either a lot of bad luck or horrible disabling condition. Wish me luck on Monday!
It has already been a long day and I am seriously considering staying up late and then doing another long day tomorrow. I am living like a maniac with no sleep and thinking excited thoughts. I went to school this evening and programmed at a computer for about three hours with two other students who are originally from China, They are youngsters. The one programmer was very good at writing our code while I translated the mathematical algorithm into old school code and then she translated that in the latest computer language C#. We grew tired after three hours and will get back at this school project later this weekend. It was strange to be studying in middle age at school while these students are in their twenties and young enough to be my children. It is strange given the mis-perception of age effect in schizophrenia. I then went to the library and borrowed a slew of books for work. I began to focus on broader academic goals after and tried to focus after being hit with small waves of self doubt as I walked from the computer faculty building to the library. I also borrowed these books dreaming big as I often do. I then usually end up surfing the Internet which means a lot of reading and writing Internet pages and not doing the reading that would really help me and instead spending huge amounts of money on credit. So I plan to stay up and try to implement my dreams and focus on reading these work related books. Then it is work another day tomorrow. After work tomorrow our self help board meets then it is off to school for a class. I have my homework done already though. I know I can not stay up this whole, what would be 40 hours, so I am sure to nap in a few hours before work.

I haven't really been a fan of pork chops historically speaking. They're usually either too dry (yuck) or undercooked (even more yuck), so I haven't bothered trying to make them in quite some time. I was reading my favorite sous vide web page though and saw the recipe for pork chops. Given how juicy everything else had been, and the fact that you don't have to worry about undercooking when you cook sous vide, I decided to give them another try. The resulting pork chops were so good, and so juicy, that I might be back on the pork chop bandwagon. Because these are brined before cooking, they needed very little seasoning.
Sous Vide Pork Chops
- Pork chops (I used center cut)
- ¼ cup salt
- 2½ Tablespoons sugar
- 1 quart water
- 1 Tablespoon canola oil
- In a large ziploc bag, combine the water, salt and sugar. Mix until dissolved.
- Add pork chops and brine in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
- Remove pork chops from brine and pat dry. Place in individual vacuum bags.
- Cook in sous vide machine at 135F for 12 hours.
- Heat oil in heavy pan over high heat until just before smoking. Place pork chops in pan and sear, about 45 seconds on each side.
- Remove from pan and serve!
I brined my pork chops for about 12 hours. They were still good, but I think 1-2 hours would be plenty. I served these splashed with just a little bit of this pomegranate tangerine vinegar Also, in case there's any doubt about how juicy these are, here's a cropped close-up from the above picture:

GiftWiz Product Information
No more tediously cutting and folding tiny pieces of paper, writing names on them, and throwing them in a hat to be drawn to see who buys a gift for whom. GiftWiz automates and simplifies the entire process of the time-honored holiday tradition of drawing names to exchange gifts (Secret Santa) while keeping it fun and festive.
Using the program to manage your group gift exchange could not be more simple. Begin by entering the names of all the participants either individually or by importing them from a text file containing a list of names.
Screen Shot
Then, the fun begins. For each person to individually pick a name, select that person's name and click the "Pick" button. A window will open showing a graphic of a hat with another "Pick" button on it. Clicking that button will cause a random name from the "Recipient pool" to literally pop out of the hat and be shown. There is also a cool, optional "drum roll" sound effect as names are being picked from the hat. The giver's name will then be removed from the "Giver pool" and the name of the person that was picked as recipient will be removed from the "Recipient pool". Both names will then be added to the results under their respective columns.
(Actual program dialog will show an animation of the name coming out of the hat when the button is clicked.)
All names can be automatically picked at once, if desired, by clicking the "Auto Pick All" button, though it's more fun for each person to pick his or her name individually, especially for kids.
Once all names have been picked, the results can then be printed or saved so that noone forgets the name of the person for whom they should buy a gift.
Best of all, GiftWiz is absolutely free. Merry Christmas from Harmony Hollow.

text: As you can see in the pictures the coarse side is worn out like hell !! I found this stone in my garage probably around 10 years old maybe more, I think its an oil stone but im not 100% sure The fine side is ok to use i think cause ive sharpened a few knives with oil and they were pretty sharp. Anyway if i should throw it away what stone should i get? Im thinking 1000/6000 grit whetstone? or 1000/3000, i sharpen my knives like once a week, so its just a 5 min job, instead of once a month and taking like 1 hour to sharpen them all. so really they are pretty sharp all the time, Also is there anything else i need? to maintain the whetstone, Do i still need a strop or ceramic steel even with a grit as high as 6000 or 3000? If so how important are they I have a few Wustof ikon knives and a few Procook knives Any help would be great thanks
