With classic guitar tone disappearing down the road of digital modeling amps and effects, Carl Martin is proud to introduce the Quattro four of the most popular Carl Martin effects in one package.
The Quattro begins with Carl Martin's award winning Compressor/Limiter circuit with single controls for compression and level. The Two-Channel Overdrive has switches for on-off and for selecting between the crunch and high-gain stages, and controls for tone and level. In classic fashion, the Vintage Chorus has a speed and a depth control. Finally, the vintage style Echo has controls for level, tone, repeat and tap-tempo, as well as an on-off switch. No hard to read screens, no menus to scroll through, just set-up and play. There is no simpler multi-effect pedals on the market! There is also an effects loop built in between the overdrive and chorus effects for that special drive or fuzz pedal that is part of your sound.
You also get famous Carl Martin build quality, ultra quiet switching, a high quality on-board regulated +/-12V power supply which allows use of the finest components allowing the greatest amount of headroom, and low output impedance which leaves your amp sounding exactly like your amp.

Comments about Carl Martin Quattro Analog Multi-Effect Pedal:
Multi-effects are largely sold to teens looking for a million sounds. And usually there are a half dozen "good" sounds in the box and 999,994 junk sounds left. Had the good boy or girl simply built up a small pedal collection piece by piece, he or she could be happily on his or her way to tone nirvana. Carl Martin, known for making top-knotch equipment of unmatched quality and tonality entered the multi-fx camp with something new: an all analog multi-fx floor console. It does what individual pedals--in just the same manner (no futzy menus and hard to read displays) as their boutique pedals. So for the price of a couple top-quality pedals, the Quattro gives you all you need in an easy to use, great sounding multi-effect unit. Don't think of it as a multi-effect unit; think of it as a pedal collection!
Comments about Carl Martin Quattro Analog Multi-Effect Pedal:
Quattro is a high quality device that puts a first-rate compressor and two very usable gain stages/overdrives ahead of a send/return loop and follows the return with an excellent chorus and a very good-sounding (though limited) echo (whose delay time can only be adjusted by tap tempo). On its own, Quattro offers a ton of good tone choices for a rock player. True, at 21" across, it hogs board space, but at +/- $425 on sale at GC, it's definitely cost-effective for the number and quality of effects.
I use a wah pedal and flanger (for Van Halen/Heart tones) pedal ahead of the Quattro (that is, ahead of the compression and distortion) and have a fuzz pedal followed by a Keeley super mod in the effects loop. The former provides a heavier choice for distorted tones right after the O/Ds and the later provides a choice of sixteen (including some exotic) modulation effects on two banks. I generally leave the Keeley's plate reverb on and sometimes choose one more from the second effect bank if a song calls for exotic flavors. Following the return, Quattro's chorus is almost always active in the chain. Ahead of the loop, the compressor is a constant (tho set fairly low) presence and the two overdrives get a ton of use. They're out of the signal chain only for clean tones, on one hand and fuzz, on the other. Of the Quattro's built-in effects, only the echo gets limited time.
Net, net: Quattro is a fantastic way to cover most rock sounds with a minimum of batteries, cables, wall warts, etc (which is to say, a minimum of problems), My entire effects rig has only five boxes (wah, flanger, Quattro, fuzz, and supermod station).... and there's not a lot of tones that I can't dial in with a tap.
My only issues are the limited control for the echo and the loud "pop" that often occurs when switching the drive function on or off. All other switching (including A/B drive selection) is silent. A tuner would be nice. Fix those and Quattro is a 5 star buy.
Best Uses
Comments about Carl Martin Quattro Analog Multi-Effect Pedal:
When you see a multi-effects unit like the Quattro, you might first think "versatility" at the expense of sound quality, but this thing is 180 degrees the other way 'round. You step though each effect, as follows.
The compressor is great. Don't overdo it and you'll get unobtrusive sustain. Just dial in the fluidity you need. Then, move on to.....
Drive 1 This can be quickly dialed in (to an amp's clean channel) for a great crunch tone. Strike a few power chords and you'll get there in no time. Then, it's on to....
Drive 2 This adds substantial gain and - when dialed in - the result can be a beautiful vehicle for melodic runs. The increased level means that this setting can get you a great boosted lead tone. Crunch and lead are now settled, but may things may still sound a bit thin to some. So..
A little chorus. This effect adds flesh and rounds out the sound. I love a LITTLE of this for the single coils on my Tele, but back off even further with humbuckers. A little goes a long way, but it's worth adding in.
The default echo (100ms) effectively functions as a reverb and simply adds more body. Some have complained that making tap tempo the only adjustment here is limiting (fair enough), but the idea seems to be easy access to solid rock tones - Clean, crunch, lead - with a single channel amp. For this purpose, the Quattro works incredibly well. If you want exotic echo effects, the Quattro makes you work for them. But, if that's what you really want, the Quattro might not be the best choice for you, anyway.
Bottom line: Quatto isn't every tone you'd event want in one box. It's an easy solution for rock tones.
I dinged the Quattro one star for a lack of versatility, but this thing might deserve a sixth star for excellence within its narrower mission. If you play primarily rock music and you've got an amp that shines clean, this device will do the rest with great sound, easy set-up, and no wall warts, batteries or cords to complicate life.

The area consists of 37 Lodges, 36 of which meet in 11 Masonic buildings with 1, Victoria Lodge, meeting at the Midland Hotel, Bradford.
The area stretches over the following towns:-
Haworth – a hilltop village in the heart of the Bronte country situated above the Worth Valley amid the bleak Pennine Moors and internationally famous for its connections with the Bronte sisters.
Keighley – an industrial town in the Aire Valley. Famous among steam enthusiasts for its railway station, terminus of the KWVR, a lovingly restored steam railway.
Bingley – a small town in the Aire valley. The Leeds/Liverpool canal passes through Bingley, where boats must negotiate the famous Five Rise Locks.
Baildon – a small town north of Bradford. Baildon Moor contains a stone circle known as Soldier's Trench which is said to date from the Bronze Age, 3000 years ago.
Bradford – famed for its University. Recently titled a UNESCO City of Film and home to the National Media Museum. The many beautiful Victorian buildings found throughout the city illustrate the city's impressive past and include the area known as Little Germany and the Wool Exchange. It is also renowned for the magnificent Alhambra Theatre and some of the finest Asian cuisine in the country.
Dewsbury – market town within Kirklees and largest town in the "Heavy Woollen District". Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, after undergoing a period of major growth in the 19th century as a mill town, went through a period of decline. More recently there has been a rapid and ongoing redevelopment of derelict mills into projects concerned with regeneration.
Mirfield – during the 18th century, a canal was constructed through the town linking the River Calder with other rivers in the area. The canal is part of the Calder & Hebble Navigation. Its construction resulted in many industries such as textiles and boatyards.
Cleckheaton – is at the centre of the Spen Valley and was the major town in the former borough of Spenborough. Has a history as a mill town, like much of West Yorkshire, although this industry has now all but vanished.
Heckmondwike – formerly a mill town and famous for its blankets.
The oldest Lodge in the area is the Lodge of the Three Grand Principles No 208, which meets at Thornhill Lees, Dewsbury with the newest being Woodsmoke Lodge No 9317, which meets at Mirfield, and which was formed predominantly by members of national Youth organisations (Scouts, Boys Brigade)in common with pathfinder Lodge in Sheffield. King Edward VII, is a "daylight Lodge", meeting in a morning followed by a lunchtime festive board.
The Lodges in the Area are covered by 22 Liaison Officers. The Charity Committee is headed by W Bro Neil Davies, and all members of the committee give unstinting service on behalf of charitable purposes. There are 4 Mentoring Co-ordinators and the initiative is working very successfully with their sterling help.
There are three very successful Installed Masters' Associations within the area which are, the Bradford IMA, the Airedale & Wharfedale IMA and the Dewsbury & Spen Valley District IMA.

Endocrinologists specialize in disorders related to glands and the hormones they release. They work to correct hormone imbalances in those with metabolic disorders, thyroid problems, menopause, diabetes and those with impaired growth. Endocrinologists also deal with cholesterol disorders, hypertension due to adrenal gland tumors, infertility and cancers impacting the endocrine glands.Continue Reading
The most common disorder treated by endocrinologists is diabetes mellitus. This disorder occurs because the pancreas does not provide the body with the correct amount of insulin, causing blood sugar. This, in turn, can damage other organs. Endocrinologists teach their patients how to monitor their blood sugar and administer medications that lower blood sugar, including injections of insulin. They also prescribe strict diets to help bring a patient's blood sugar back to normal.
Endocrinologists can choose to specialize primarily in the treatment of diabetes. This requires training to evaluate the eyes, kidneys and blood vessels, as they are often negatively impacted by the disease. Additionally, they need to have a working knowledge of podiatry and how to care for the feet of diabetics, as improper treatment can lead to gangrene and amputation.
Thyroid disorders are also commonly treated by endocrinologists. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is overactive, where hypothyroidism indicates a thyroid working too slowly. Endocrinologists evaluate the thyroid's condition and prescribe medication to enhance or inhibit hormones according to the diagnosis.Learn more about Career Aspirations

Thorn, Lisa, Hucklebridge, Frank, Evans, Philip D. and Clow, Angela (2009) The cortisol awakening response, seasonality, stress and arousal: a study of trait and state influences. Psychoneuroendocrinology, 34 (3). pp. 299-306. ISSN 0306-4530Full text not available from this repository.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the cortisol awakening response (CAR) and two key state variables (morning stress and arousal) and the trait-like variable of seasonality as recent evidence suggests that the CAR is subject to both state and trait influences. The CAR was examined across two consecutive winter days in 50 healthy participants. Participants collected saliva samples in the domestic setting immediately on awakening, then at 15, 30 and 45min post-awakening on the two study days. Concomitant trait and state measures were examined, notably seasonal changeability in mood as a trait, and self-reported stress and arousal as state measures. Although there was correlational stability for measures of the CAR across days, there was a significant difference in the magnitude of the increase in cortisol levels following awakening between the two study days, being greater on the first sampling day. This reduction in the magnitude of cortisol increase was significantly associated with an observed reduction across the 2 days in self-reported arousal assessed at 45min following awakening. Participants reported greater arousal (more alert, active, energetic and stimulated, less drowsy, tired and sluggish) on the first study day than the second. Average CAR across days was associated with seasonality score, greater propensity for seasonal changes in mood being associated with smaller average CAR. High seasonality scorers were also more likely as a group to show a strong association between daily changes in state arousal and CAR. This study supports the view that the CAR is, in part, susceptible to short-term changes in state variables, notably perceived arousal, while observing a novel link between CAR and the trait variable of perceived seasonality. Finally a tentative finding suggests the importance of examining for possible interaction between trait and state effects, evidenced by a significantly greater association between state arousal changes and cortisol response changes in those with high (trait) seasonality.

"Me and @RosannaJasmin have some very exciting news," he tweeted. "We are expecting our first baby, we really can't wait to be parents." "This is the best Christmas present I've ever had," he added. "I'm going to be a dad with the love of my life." Rosanna and Antony got engaged last week, when the Blue star proposed in Paris. They've been together for 18 months. The baby, thought to be due in June, will be Rosanna's first child and Antony's second child – he already has a daughter, Emilie, from a previous relationship. "I've done some stupid things in my life - I was such a tw*t. But I am seriously the happiest I've ever been right now," a delighted Antony told The Mirror. "Me and the boys have had our album out, we've done The Big Reunion, and we're touring. Now Rosanna and I have a baby on the way – it's like everything's fallen into place." Read more...

Got Your Back! UMD
You are here
Got Your Back! UMD
An initiative inspired and informed by the StepUp! Bystander Intervention Program at the University of Arizona, Founded by Becky Bell.
Got Your Back! UMD encourages EVERYONE to notice harmful situations around them EVERYDAY, and to take the steps to safely and effectively intervene. TOGETHER, we can create a safe place at UMD and positively shape the culture that we learn and work in. If you are interested in getting involved and learning more, please contact Dori Decker at email@example.com, or visit our calendar of events for updated campus workshops.
Read the homepage story from 2014
New! Hear our Peer Health Educators talk about Got your Back! UMD on KUMD.
How GOT YOUR BACK! UMD came to be
In the spring of 2013, UMD's Office of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity sent out a call for grant proposals that would initiate programming on campus that supports goal 2 of UMD's Strategic Plan. Goal 2 serves to "Create a positive and inclusive campus climate for all by advancing equity, diversity and social justice". Health Services staff responded to the call with a proposal to bring the StepUp! Bystander Intervention Program Train the Trainer Webinar to campus. The proposal was awarded the UMD Equity Education and Diversity Grant Funds, and on May 8, 2013, thirty three campus community members (students, staff and faculty) attended the training, representing 22 campus units, student organizations and academic departments. Another Train the Trainer Webinar was brought to UMD in 2016.
Vision, Mission, and Goals
The vision for the bystander intervention initiative at UMD is to support UMD in its efforts to create a positive and inclusive campus climate for all by advancing equity, diversity and social justice (Goal 2).
The mission of Got Your Back! UMD is to create a culture of actualized shared responsibility and individual action in challenging unjust and hurtful words, behaviors and attitudes, or simply to help someone in need; action that in turn serves to create a safe, positive and inclusive campus climate for all.
The Goals of the bystander intervention initiative are:
1. To increase awareness and knowledge that supports noticing events and interpreting events as a problem.
2. To deliver tools and strategies that inform safe and effective intervention.
3. To build confidence and motivation that inspires taking personal responsibility to act.
Strategies to support the vision:
- The bystander intervention TRAIN THE TRAINER WEBINAR will empower and equip UMD students, staff and faculty leaders across campus who participated in the webinar directly, to begin the momentum for intervention, and to cause a shift in positivity and inclusivity on campus. By incorporating our version of the StepUp! Program on campus, UMD is making a statement that it recognizes the importance of each individual being sensitive to and taking action on issues of equity, diversity and social justice. Bystanders have an important role to play in the learning and working climate at UMD. Leaders on campus have a responsibility to shape a positive environment for students and employees; what we say and do can shape this environment.
- Train the trainer workshops will be provided periodically (approximately every three years) to interested faculty, staff and students, as funding allows.
- The TRAINERS will commit to at least one bystander intervention presentation, each semester. If each trainer presents to an average of 20 people each semester, in one year, we will have the potential to reach 1320 campus community members, or roughly 12% of the campus population.
- UMD Health Services and the PEER HEALTH EDUCATORS will provide on-going campus programming as a part of their annual outreach. Health Services aims to reach approximately 2200 students each year.
- Faculty will be encouraged to incorporate bystander intervention topics into course CURRICULA, further defining the important role we all can play in social justice – one observation, one action, one word, at a time.
As students, staff and faculty across campus learn and practice intervention tools and strategies, UMD will see bystander intervention become the SOCIAL NORM. The social norm of taking responsibility for each other, and in the process, educating about unjust attitudes and actions, will advance equity, diversity and social justice by creating a welcoming and safe climate for all (Goal 2!).
Topics covered in GOT YOUR BACK! UMD Bystander Intervention workshops and classroom presentations
1. Introduction to Got Your Back! UMD and Bystander Intervention
2. Common Barriers to intervening
3. The 5 steps to intervention
a. Notice the event
b. Interpret it as a problem
c. Assume personal responsibility
d. Know how to help
e. Take action
4. Intervention styles
5. Tips for successful intervention

Linguists are doing excellent micro-analytic work demonstrating in detail how 'agency' is so often the doings of several people in interaction, rather than the preserve and action of one specific individual and an intrinsic part of her_his identity. I do wonder whether this strikes a chord in other parts of society. Are we witnissing a broader acceptance of the notion of the decentred subject?
New article: Najma Al Zidjaly (2009) Agency as an interactive achievement. In Language in Society, 38: 177-200.
This study explores how agency emerges and is negotiated moment by moment in interaction by applying Erving Goffman's notion of production format to an extended sequence of discourse that revolves around accomplishing a conjoint action: the rewriting of an official letter. Deconstructing the participants into the social roles they undertake in accomplishing this task illustrates what is involved in exercising agency: interactively negotiating production format roles and footing shifts through several linguistic strategies aimed at either claiming, ratifying, or rejecting the participants' agency. These include providing options, negotiating production format roles, asking questions, speaking for another, questioning and asserting expertise, providing counter-arguments, and asserting past agentive selves. This study, thus, contributes to an understanding of agency as co-constructed, mediated, and continually negotiated, while also identifying specific linguistic strategies through which agency is negotiated in interaction.

10 Things You Do All The Time Because You Smoke Weed And Don't Give A Fuck
There are ways to tell if someone gets down with Mary Jane. To name a few, here are ten things people who smoke weed do all the time and don't give a fuck.
Smoking weed is a choice. Not only are cannabis-smokers proud of what they do, but they also don't care what you think. If you don't love the ganja, it's your loss as far as they're concerned. After all, cannabis is a magnificent plant that helps people in more ways than one. While the herb is not for everyone, there are ways to tell if someone gets down with Mary Jane. To name a few, here are ten things people who smoke weed do all the time and don't give a fuck.
1. Get high openly yet discreetly
If someone loves weed, then chances are they smoke it in more ways than one. So, when they're in the mood to get high, then they're going to get high, even if it means hiding it. Edibles and vaporizers are just a few discreet ways to consume the herb.
2. Eat a ton of food
After a smoke sesh, the munchies can strike hard. And when it does, food is the best thing, like ever. From wings to cupcakes, weed-smokers will indulge on anything and everything.
3. Offer others a hit
Not just anyone, of course. But if they trust you and like you, cannabis consumers will likely offer to smoke with you. After all, getting high is always fun when you have someone to join you.
4. Spread the word
Cannabis is without a doubt a fascinating plant. Not only does it treat a variety of conditions, but it also makes you feel damn good. For this reason, weed enthusiasts will always do what they can to spread the word about all of its benefits.
5. Engage in deep conversation
Unless your high, you'll never understand how quickly a conversation can get serious after smoking weed. From discussing the weather to the color of the ocean, pot smokers can talk for hours. In fact, you'd be surprised how interesting some of their thoughts can be.
6. Stand for what they believe in
Obviously, people who smoke weed want to see the herb legalized all over the world. And when it comes to standing up for cannabis, they'll participate without thinking twice. Even if it means facing harsh consequences, the cannabis community will fight for what's right.
7. Shop for the latest and greatest
What's so awesome about weed? The fact that there's constantly something new hitting the market. From grinders to pipes, you can never get sick of a product these days.
8. Have a great time
Everything is better when you're high. Even the most boring activity can be fun if you're stoned. But people who don't smoke weed wouldn't know about that life.
9. Remain calm
Life can be hectic and stressful, to say the least. However, those that smoke weed don't let the hard times get the best of them. After all, you only live once. There's no sense in worrying about everything little thing around you.
10. Find new places to get high
Whether it be on top of a mountain or at a secluded beach, getting high can be done anywhere. Of course, it's best to find a spot where the herb is legal. But then again, if one wants to smoke some weed, then they will smoke it, regardless if it's legal or not.

This week is about as eclectic as Neil Young's David Byrne tribute band. We've got your zombies, we've got your criminals, we've got cartoon bears stuck in trees; it's a random act of Blu-ray on the Shelf, folks!
Does crime pay? It seems to in Michael Bay's non-blockbuster blockbuster Pain & Gain. Mark Wahlberg stars as a fitness instructor who wants to be a winner, but is generally the opposite. He teams up with an ex-con (Dwayne Johnson) and a steroid abuser (Anthony Mackie) to steal from a notorious swindler (Tony Shalhoub) and get in much deeper trouble than they expected. This was based on a true story, though Bay clearly indulged quite a bit, as is his way. I imagine we're supposed to feel somewhat sympathetic for these three, but it's hard to do so when they're such raging ass-hats. Still, it's entertaining and much deeper than it has any right to be.
The Blu-ray comes with a DVD and a UV digital coupon, but no other special features. Strange, given Bay's proclivity toward doing commentaries. Unless you really love this movie, a rent would be sufficient. For more info, read our interview with the film's screenwriters, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
In 1977, Walt Disney Pictures released their 22nd animated feature, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. However, this was really just a compilation of three of their previous shorts: Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968), and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too (1974). Some new material was added to connect the three stories, but the bulk of the work was done. It was a pretty genius move on Disney's part; the Winnie the Pooh characters had become (and remain) among their most popular brands, spawning toys, clothing, and other bric-à-brac for decades. My mom had more Eeyores than I can count. Despite what could be construed as a late-'70s cash-grab, the actual film is still a delight.
Yes, the Hundred-Acre Wood characters were, are, and will always be adorable and engaging. Why do you think they brought them back in that film the other year? Because people like them! Each of the stories is entertaining and fun, from Pooh getting stuck in a tree for days on end to being freaked out by the Heffalumps and Woozles. You know, they really are confuzzle. At only 74 minutes, it's one of Disney's shortest features (and is actually shorter than the 75 minute minimum the MPAA has today) but you'll have a quick and good time.
The Blu-ray, being for a family movie, skews young, with features mainly amounting to more Pooh shorts and sing-along stuff. But there's a 25-minute making-of ported over from the DVD release that will speak to the animation historian in you (or me).
After a relatively stable season at the Farm, the third season of AMC's smash hit The Walking Dead took the heroes to the Prison, where they had a whole new set of problems. It also introduced us to David Morrissey as The Governor, one of the smarmiest, creepiest, yet charmingly folksy villains on television. He does some real nasty stuff to people while attempting to keep safe the citizens of Woodbury and seducing the all-too gullible Andrea (Laurie Holden). Also properly introduced in this season is Michonne (Danai Gurira), who you wish would just tell people things, and Tyreese (Chad Coleman), whose group adds a new dynamic to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the band of survivors. Lots of folks die this season also, but you'd expect that from a show about the dead who are walking.
The set includes commentary on five episodes by various members of the cast and crew, eight featurettes about the making of the series, and 13 minutes of deleted material. If you want to spring for the deluxe limited edition set (akin to the ones from the first two seasons), you can get the Blu-rays in a box containing severed zombie heads in aquariums as seen in the Governor's private room. If you want to have that somewhere in your house, have at it, but don't call me, because you're weird.
The Great Gatsby – Another failed attempt by Baz Luhrmann to make a movie I like. This one's based on the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel and features anachronistic music and a glancing blow at the plot.
Q – The Winged Serpent – Larry Cohen's weird stop-motion monster movie set in early-'80s New York. Cohen staple Michael Moriarty gives one of his most fidgety performances opposite Candy Clark, David Carradine and Richard Roundtree.
Dark Angel – Get this: Dolph Lundgren plays a vice cop in Houston who ends up chasing an extraterrestrial drug dealer who looks kind of like a Mad Max He-Man. This movie exists, you guys.
Sons of Anarchy Season 5 – The best motorcycle gang show on television has a fifth season full of Adam Arkin, Peter Weller, and more Ron Perlman than you can shake a snake-and-steel boot at.

Gov. Bobby Jindal, in his veto of a bill that would have created a new legal and regulatory framework for surrogacy births in Louisiana, has sided with conservative groups.
Lawmakers had overwhelmingly voted to support the bill by Norco Sen. Gary Smith, who has two children with his wife through surrogacy. Jindal released his veto on Friday.
Religious groups have raised ethical and moral concerns about surrogacy. In his veto letter, the Republican governor said questions and concerns about surrogacy weren't studied enough.
Backers of the legislation said surrogacy births are taking place without clear guidelines on the legal rights of parents, the surrogate mother or the child. They said the bill was written in consultation with judges, lawyers, experts in family law and theologians.

When you get on the road for long enough and start to become a serious traveler, you eventually notice that you're missing something. It may take you a while for notice. At first, you may have a queasy feeling that you're forgetting something important, like perhaps your bags or your passport.
And then it hits you. You're a man with no keys. You have no car keys, no appartment keys, no letter box keys, no office keys, no garage opener, no access cards. You don't have to worry about losing them, forgetting them, getting them stolen. You're a free man. Keyless.
By the way, do you know the difference between a tourist and a traveler? A tourist doesn't know where he is and a traveler doesn't know where he's going.
No matter how far a tourist goes, it's the same place. If it's Tuesday, it must be Luxor. It doesn't really matter because he goes to the same Hard Rock Cafe and McDonald'd and Pizza Hut. The sights change, the local waitresses don't understand him as well, but he's basically always in the same place. He never really left. He has a schedule and he sticks to it. He's in a momentary state of geographic displacement.
A traveler may have a vague schedule, but he knows he won't stick to it. Things will happen. Ferries will be missed, planes will be canceled, buses will break down, passports will get lost. The hut on the beach will beacon to stay a few more days, the friends on the road will share tips about a detour not to be missed, a taxi driver will share a secret about a little village where the rest of his family lives.
It's fine to be a tourist. Sometimes, that's all you have time for, and it's better than staying home. But it's really nice not to have to worry about your keys.

Have you ever heard anyone use the adjective, 'awesome' in conjunction with the noun, 'turnip'? No? Me neither.
I propose to change that circumstance today, with a spicy, sweet and sour probiotic pickle made almost entirely from turnips - and a little help from beets, cumin, chilli and salt...
I am a whimsical eater. I get a flavour on my palate and that's just what I want to eat for a few days, or even weeks. When I have satisfied the urge, I'm on to the next thing. I will just say that my urges never lead me to the greasy doors of a fast food restaurant and they rarely lead to a pizza parlour, but they pull me along by some unseen Bisto trail none-the-less. It might be broccoli with butter and tamari, or scrambled eggs and kale. I might find that I long for stir fries, soups or stews and have to stop myself for the sake of Nick and Finn, from dishing up variations on the same theme.
Pickles are a constant, although these too vary with the seasons and I find that I m happy to add a spoonful of the current flavour to almost everything I eat. It becomes something of a joke, with the pickle jar arriving at the table even before any cutlery has been laid!
Just now, my tastebuds are calling for this turnip pickle. It delights me in every way.
'Just look at that colour!', I squeal each meal time - holding up a slice of magenta for agreement, before popping it in my mouth and wondering for the tenth time that week, how turnips could be so delicious?
Adding beets brings an earthy sweetness, but they are a little tougher than the turnips, so this ratio makes the most of their flavour whilst the turnips give the pickle a light, juicy crunch. Cumin and mild chilli add to the warmth and earthiness, and lacto fermenting brings a delightful sourness to the sweet roots.
It's just perfect alongside any spicy food, but also brings savoury depth to salads, stews, soups and breakfasts. If you are adding it to hot food, then stir it in once you dish up to preserve as much of the probiotic as you can.
This is my contribution for this month's Go Ahead Honey it's Gluten Free - Pickles! I would love some more contributions if anyone has a pickle, preserve or chutney recipe lurking? Send them to me at naomidevlin @ f2s dot com by Jan 27th.
x x x
Probiotic Turnip, Beet and Cumin Pickle
1 kilo of Smallish, Firm, Turnips
2-3 Medium Beetroot
1 tablespoon Coarse Sea Salt
3 tsp Cumin Seeds
1-2 tsp Mild Chilli Flakes (Turkish Pul Biber or Urfa Biber)
Good Few Grinds of Black Pepper
Plus either of these:
2 Probiotic Capsules (break them open) and a 200ml of Mineral Water
200ml of Whey (drained from dripping yogurt)
1 litre sized Kilner (Mason) Jar
Peel both turnips and beets - use rubber gloves for the beets to stop your hands getting stained.
Using a mandolin (or slicing attachment on your food processor or box grater), slice turnips and beets as thinly as possible and put into a non reactive bowl (glass, stainless steel or ceramic).
Add everything else and pound everything together with a meat mallet or wooden spoon, until the juices flow a little. You're not trying to break up the vegetables, juice bruise everything a bit so that the flavours mingle and juices start to come out of the veg.
Pack everything into the Kilner jar and press down with your gloved fingers or a spoon, until the liquid reaches the top of the mixture.
I usually place a non reactive weight on top to keep everything submerged, but you can just leave the pickle like that to do it's thing. Enjoy watching the turnip turn pink!
Set the jar aside at room temperature for 2-4 days. It depends how warm your house is, so check after a couple of days with clean fingers and taste a piece of the pickle. If it's sour enough, pop the whole jar in the fridge, or decant into smaller jars. It's better after a week in the fridge.

Uneaten Cake Lurking in Today's Jobs Report
Matthew Yglesias is on vacation.
Today the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced 204,000 jobs were added to the economy in October, surprising analysts, many of whom anticipated only 120,000. And it comes just after a better-than-expected third quarter, in which GDP grew by 2.8 percent.
Interesting highlights: Leisure and hospitality lead with an increase of 53,000 jobs in October, followed by retail, professional and technical services, manufacturing, and health care employment. Unemployment notched up slightly from 7.2 percent to 7.3 percent. Average hourly earnings have increased 2.2 percent in the past year. August and September nonfarm payroll employment numbers were revised upward by 60,000 jobs.
For people who hate big government, there continues to be uneaten cake: "Federal government employment declined by 12,000 in October," the BLS said. That makes a 94,000-job drop in the past year.
People looking for a problem will probably focus on the fact that the bulk of those new jobs occurred in low-wage areas. But that's not enough to make this a bad jobs report. That said, Felix Salmon's comments over at Reuters are wise on how this report, relative to others, will affect the market: "We're still in the very heart of good-news-is-bad-news territory, where traders only care about when the famous Taper will begin. The stronger the data, the more worried they become, and the more that stocks and bonds sell off."
Damned if you QE, damned if you don't.
Still, according to the Wall Street Journal, if expectations of 120,000 had been accurate, this would have been "the weakest initial job read since March," which would have served as another justification to push the "Federal Reserve's taper announcement into 2014." Of course, there's still some likelihood of that anyway.
And how did this report deal with the shutdown? First, the BLS's survey operations were shut down for the duration—from October 1 through October 16—and the BLS delayed release of this report by a week to allow for data collection. Furloughed federal workers, since they were paid at some point in October, were all considered employed.

WILMINGTON, Del. - August 11, 2013 --The Rev. Roberto Balducelli, a longtime Wilmington priest who served St. Anthony of Padua Parish for decades, has died. He was 99.
The church and city officials announced Balducelli died Friday night on the eve of his 100th birthday. Balducelli was pastor of Wilmington's St. Anthony's Parish from 1959 to 1988 and remained active until his death.
In a statement Sunday, Wilmington Mayor Dennis Williams called Balducelli a transformational religious leader. Balducelli is credited with building Padua Academy, the Antonian high-rise for seniors and the St. Anthony's in the Hills summer camp, among other achievements.
Delaware Gov. Jack Markell said thousands more people will continue to benefit from the community that Balducelli leaves behind.
A viewing is planned for Tuesday at St. Anthony's Parish. A funeral will be held Wednesday.

Project aim
Improve living and education standards for local people and help protect wildlife habitats in ongoing conservation projects in Ecuador.
About the project
Next year, Harry, Kuldeep, Charles and Charlie will embark on an expedition to Ecuador with Camps International, a four-week excursion including community development work, environmental projects and wildlife conservation, as well as a challenging trek in Cotopaxi National Park.
There are three main components of this expedition:
Community – we will stay in our camps that are co-located within local communities in which we will be undertaking project work. This could be anything from building new classrooms to seaweed farming.
Environment- all expeditions have a strong environmental project element and we will visit some of the most amazing environments on the planet, but these are under constant threat. Camps' aim is to help protect the natural environment through projects such as tree planting, establishing sustainable practices and education.
Wildlife- we will work to maintain and support the natural environment surrounding the local communities in which we are based. As we will not undertake hands-on wildlife work, our main focus will be on activities such as reforestation, digging waterholes and snare collecting to name a few.
Not only will this benefit the people who live there, but we will come from this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as better-developed, more independent people, having being stretched out of our comfort zone, therefore opening doors for the future such as university and job applications.
This expedition will not be cheap, so to contribute to our costs, we are partaking in a bike ride on 22nd August which will cover 100km.
We ask you to sponsor us for organising and taking part in this event and, in turn, contribute to the betterment of many young lives in the underdeveloped regions of Ecuador and the ever-deteriorating environment and wildlife.
For more information about Camps International and their permanent presence in many developing countries head to www.campsinternational.com

Jimmy Fallon & Magic Kisses
|"There is a power in kissing."
"Jimmy is a huge fan of your work."
Last week I received an email from "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" asking me if I would like to be on the show in a few weeks. Apparently Jimmy Fallon had brought me up in one of their meetings and wanted me on the show. I was blown away. I love Jimmy Fallon and now he wanted me on his live show. I responded immediately and began to free up my schedule in the upcoming weeks. Something must have changed because the next day I got a call from the show and they asked, "How about this Friday?" I couldn't believe it. I was going to New York!
For the trip I decided to take my friend Nate from the Mistletoe Kissing prank. He had been with me since the beginning and I didn't want to go to New York by myself. The late night show had someone pick us up from the airport and put us in a hotel right in front of Rockefeller Plaza. Before getting some shut eye, Nate and I walked around Times Square and took in the city life.
|Back Stage
The next morning we spent exploring New York because we didn't have to be in the studio until 3:30 P.M. Before the show, I wanted to practice my magic but in New York this proved to be difficult. In Utah, people are always excited to see a magic trick. In New York, People there don't like getting stopped on the street. The only way I could get people to stop was by saying, "I'm going to be on Jimmy Fallon doing magic, you want to see one of my tricks?"
"I'm saving some of this food for the plane!"
At 3:30, Nate and I entered the "Late NIght With Jimmy Fallon" studio. They took us to the dressing room and explained how things were going to happen. Then we had a run through on stage. Not once did the producers try to script my performance or change it in anyway. All they suggested was for me to incorporate Jimmy Fallon in my trick.
|Nate in the dressing room.
Then we hung out in the dressing room until it was my time. The staff told us we could eat anything in the dressing room. Nate took that a little literal. He was eating everything he could and then he started putting food in his pocket. "I'm saving some of this food for the plane!"
Jimmy Fallon, the Johnny Carson of our times.
At 5:45 P.M. make up came in to do a few touch ups and by 6:00 P.M. I was on stage ready to go. Right before it went live, I met Jimmy Fallon for the first time. He shook my hand and said, "Thanks for coming, I am a huge fan." Then we went live. A lot of times when I am introduced on television shows, people get information wrong. They may mix the number of subscribers I have with number of Facebook fans or the number of views on one of my videos is over-exaggerated. All the information Fallon gave was correct and up-to-date. Once the trick was over, the show went to commercial and Fallon chatted with me a bit. He then let me sit on the couch with him while the band played.
In the dressing room after the show, the writers came in to congratulate me and let me know they were huge fans of my videos. I was blown away. These were writers for a national broadcasted late night show telling me they were fans. That was one of the biggest highlights of that night.
|Thank you note from Jimmy Fallon
The take away from the weekend: Jimmy Fallon and his crew are phenomenal! They were nice to Nate and I from start to finish. They made sure we were taken care of and always treated us with the upmost respect. Now that I met Jimmy Fallon, I can say without hesitation that he is the Johnny Carson of our times. He was classy. Fallon gave me the show for those few minutes. He let me perform my trick and for a moment he was a spectator. There are not many people who would do that. It reminded me of when Johnny Carson brought on special guests on his show. For those few minutes his guests were the stars. I'm looking forward to watching Jimmy Fallon's career grow as he takes Jay Leno's spot.
Fans: without you, none of this would be possible.
I want to give a special thanks to all of my fans who watched my video. If it was not for your interest and support, I would never have been able to be on Jimmy Fallon's show. I am so thankful for the support of all of you! I have been able to pursue my dream of creating videos thanks to you. I can never forget you. I hope I can continue to make content you will love. Thank you.
If you haven't seen it, here it is:
What was your favorite part of the Jimmy Fallon clip? Feel free to leave any comments below.
Thanks again fans!

Irritative voiding symptoms in women are most often due to uncomplicated urinary tract infection. A cost-effective approach to the treatment of urinary tract infections is a reasonable first step.
However, in patients who have persistent or frequently recurrent symptoms, a more thorough evaluation is warranted. These women may be found to have Interstitial Cystitis, requiring further evaluation.
While Interstitial Cystitis remains a difficult disease to treat, a multi-modality therapy provides excellent symptom relief.

This trail was amazing, we took out time and followed more trails than we expected. It was an amazing hike and even though the weather wasn't cooperating with us, we continued on and we ended up with some amazing photos.

Look out Verizon customers, it looks like the carrier has begun sending out emails to customers over the last couple of days informing them that privacy policy changes are on the way. At the heart of this change is Big Red's plan to start tracking mobile information from those who are using device's on its network.
In the email, Big Red says that it plans to start tracking things like URL's you have visited, apps that you fiddle with, the location of you and your device.
In addition to all of those, Verizon also plans to take a look at:
1. Information about your use of Verizon products and services (such as data and calling features, device type, and amount
of use).
2. Demographic and interest categories provided to us by other companies, such as gender, age range, sports fan, frequent diner, or pet owner.
You can read about the policy changes here if you didn't get an email.
What is it going to do with the information that it collects? Well, it plans to use said information to create business and marketing reports, for other companies to create business and marketing reports, and to better mobile advertisements so they are more 'relevant'.
Obviously, this policy change isn't going to sit well with customers. At least there is something that those of you on Verizon can do it about it though. You can opt-out right this minute.
If you head here, you'll need to log-in first, you should be taken to a page where you can opt out of two sections. You'll want to opt-out of the first section, click save. Then, you'll want to go back in and opt-out of the second option and hit save. And then you'll want to go in and opt-out of the third section and click save. One of them, in the middle is pretty well hidden.
Once that is taken care of, you're done and Verizon won't be tracking your mobile movements any longer.
I really want to be able to say I'm surprised by this sleazy move but frankly, I'm not. Not in the slightest.
