I had Open Suse 10.0 installed in my laptop. I was planning to switch to ubuntu for long and when DapperDrake got released, trying to get some freetime was proving to be difficult.
The installation was not straight forward for me. I had LVM configured in the previous Suse installation which I had to completely remove for the ubuntu installation to go ahead.
After installation I was nearly shocked to learn that root account by default is disabled. I enabled the root account using sudo passwd root. I am still trying to fix my ndiswrapper for Broadcom 4306 802.11g/b WLAN.
My technical adventures, hacks or what I do in my free time.

**BRAND NEW 2018 full canvas camper enclosure!**
The 340 Sundancer has a large cockpit, a well-appointed cabin, and a serious base power plant, to summarize Sea Ray's finest sport cruiser.
Twin 7.4L Mercruisers with 693 hours. Generator, air/con
Call Adrian - 613 985 3600
Designed for entertaining on a higher scale, the 340 Sundancer features a portside entertainment center complete with wet bar, cooler and cockpit fridge.
The cockpit table converts easily to a spacious sunpad by inserting the matching filler cushions. With high-quality marine-grade vinyl, every seat is amazingly comfortable, from the adjustable helm seat with flip-up thigh-rise to the full aft-facing seat with a convenient storage base and cooler.
Other standards include a self-bailing fiberglass cockpit liner, snap-in carpet, cockpit bolsters and more. Extra gear is neatly stored in an enclosed storage compartment located in the transom wall and equipped with a gas-assisted lid.
The Sea Ray 340 Sundancer is impeccably styled to a level only Sea Ray can achieve. A choice of three color schemes, a standard fiberglass sport spoiler and generous wood accents (including a wood-accent tilt steering wheel) conjure images of a fine yacht.
At the helm, the captain has a broad dash that places everything in easy sight and reach, including illuminated weatherproof rocker switches, standard Raytheon VHF radio, digital depth finder, compass, and full backlit instrumentation with a concealed circuit breaker panel. Under the electrically operated engine hatch, the new standard 310 horsepower twin MerCruiser V-drives provide an exceptional ride with responsive handling, thanks in part to the heavy-duty hydraulic steering.The 340 Sundancer also offers a selection of optional twin gas and diesel stern drives, as well as twin gasoline and diesel V-drives.
The forward stateroom has a full-size berth with two hanging mirrored lockers, a vanity, and plenty of personal storage space. The mid stateroom features Sea Ray's design in which the conversation pit converts to a private double berth.
The galley of the 340 Sundancer features all the comforts of home, including a 3.4-cubic-foot refrigerator, microwave, flush-mount two-burner electric stove, and fiberglass countertop with sink and cutting board cover to create even more usable space. The drawers and storage areas stow dishes, glasses, and flatware securely thanks to special inserts that hold them firmly in place.
The fiberglass enclosed standup head with vanity provides a VacuFlush head and shower.

Rio Tinto has announced plans for new spending at its Marandoo iron ore mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia and at its 58.72%-owned Iron Ore Co. of Canada (IOC) operations in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The new projects are in addition to previously announced expansion plans for the company's Pilbara mines (E&MJ, January 2011, p. 14) and for IOC (E&MJ, June 2010, p. 6).
At Marandoo, Rio Tinto will invest $933 million to extend the life of the Marandoo mine by 16 years to 2030. The project includes construction of a wet processing plant and on-site facilities, an accommodation village and construction camp, and additional mining fleet.
One component of the Marandoo project is a water management strategy to manage the operation's dewatering, including priority water delivery to the Tom Price township and mine operations, the reinjection of water into the Southern Fortescue borefield to the north, and a proposed irrigated agriculture scheme. The project requires a number of government and regulatory approvals, all of which have been received or are progressing on schedule.
Rio Tinto Chief Executive Iron Ore and Australia Sam Walsh said the Marandoo extension complements major expansion programs now under way and will play an important role in sustaining the annual capacity rate at the company's Pilbara operations. Located 35 km northeast of the town of Tom Price, the project will extend Marandoo mine life at its current mining rate of 15 million mt/y year by developing adjacent reserves below the water table.
"With a high iron and low phosphorus content, Marandoo's Marra Mamba ore assists in maintaining the Pilbara Blend grade requirements and maximizing the value of our integrated Pilbara operations," Walsh said.
At IOC, Rio Tinto has given the go-ahead to a further $277-million investment (Rio Tinto share $163 million) in the second phase of a three-phase project that will ultimately raise IOC's concentrate production capacity by 40% to 26 million mt/y. The phase-two spending will increase IOC's spiral and magnetite concentrate production capacity by an average of 1.3 million mt/y to 23.3 million mt/y beginning in 2013.
The third stage of the expansion to 26 million mt/y is currently under study, and a final investment decision is expected by 2012.
"Global seaborne iron ore demand is projected to increase substantially over the next decade, and IOC's concentrate is well placed to complement the increasing use of lower-quality ore to meet that demand," Walsh said. "With high iron content and very low levels of impurities, IOC's concentrate provides significant value to steel producers as ore grades from direct shipping mines continue to decline."

Freedom is the most prized possession of all beings on this earth. The freedom to mix up and groove with others or to be wretchedly alone. The freedom to make choices for own self and what not.
Because at the end of the day, you will be the amalgamation of the choices you made in your life. If you give up your freedom to make choices for yourself then you might end up being a successful and popular figure but that won't be true you. That person won't be what you wanted to be. By giving up your freedom to make choices for yourself, you are actually giving up the opportunity to make your own destiny. Of course, it may lead you do things you shouldn't have done and which you would never do again. It may leave scars on your body and on your soul but those scares from the past would be like medals won in a war waged in the name of faith and dreams. On this path to ultimate freedom to do what you want to do; you would realize that you could do absolutely anything except force another person to follow you in your madness, in your lust for life. Yes!! Freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery. The only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that smile is dimmed by tears.
You may have often questioned that absolute freedom doesn't exist but what does exist is the freedom to choose anything you like and then commit yourself to that decision. Freedom is not the absence of commitments. But the ability to choose and commit yourself to what is best for you. Anyway you don't know what future hold in for you then why not do what you want to do in your life. You don't know what rest of your life would be like. That why it's better to live cherishing a dream than face the possibility that it might all come to nothing.
" So impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Because who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete"

The Foreign Correspondents' Club of China has received several reports of journalists being harassed and detained in Sichuan province in the run up to the anniversary of last year's earthquake. With more foreign media organisations likely to visit the area before May 12, we call on the Chinese Foreign Ministry and local government officials to ensure an open reporting environment in the spirit of the regulations for foreign journalists that were announced on October 17, 2008.
Reports from the field include aggressive police and official interference with correspondents and their sources. In several cases, local authorities have insisted that journalists register in advance before doing their work. Such demands fly in the face of the new regulations for foreign media, which eliminated the need for prior permission to visit public areas and conduct interviews.
We have heard that guided media trips are planned to the affected areas. When offered as an option to augment independent reporting, such trips are welcome — but they are not a substitute. Journalists should have the choice of whether to travel alone or with the assistance of the authorities.
The open reporting environment for Chinese and foreign journalists in the immediate aftermath of the quake contributed to the global outpouring of sympathy and aid to the victims last year. We call on the Sichuan authorities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other agencies to respect China's regulations by providing unfettered access this year.
"The detentions and permit requirements in Sichuan are a disappointing step backwards by the authorities," said FCCC president Jonathan Watts. "Reporting restrictions are a barrier to understanding the circumstances and needs of the people trying to recover from last year's disaster. They should be lifted."
NOTE: The FCCC has received the following reports:
On April 1, a French journalist was working in Dujiangyuan on a story about a family whose daughter was killed in a school collapse when he and the family were stopped and detained by both uniformed and plainclothes police. The parents were released. The reporter was forced to go the police station and informed he needed to register to report in the area.
On April 2, a German reporter was barred from Yingxiu while attempting to cover the area ahead of the first anniversary of the quake. The reporter was in a public cemetery amid a group of Chinese journalists interviewing relatives of the dead when authorities approached him and told him he had failed to register. They led him away from the cemetery.
On April 6, a German television crew working in Shifang and nearby areas was physically prevented from filming and detained for over five hours. When the crew was waiting to meet the father of a child who died in a school collapse, unidentified men grabbed the man in front of the journalists.

We are finally settling in after our trip to Florida. We came home to our new house that we'd moved into shortly before the trip, which was a surreal experience. It's the first time I've ever come home from a long trip and not felt like I was "home". We've still got a long ways to go in terms of packing and making it feel homey.
We left for Florida on Christmas night, in short because it was the only affordable fare that week. Not many people are keen to take a red-eye flight on Christmas. I can't imagine why . . . . (YES I CAN).
We were a little punchy. Then everyone fell asleep. Then 5 hours later we had to wake them up and they had to pull their own suitcases off the plane. It wasn't pretty. I did not take pictures of that.
We go to Kissimee, Florida nearly every Christmas. It's my hometown and where my sisters and mom live. I love visiting them. I DON'T love visiting Kissimmee. Did you see the SNL skit about visiting your hometown? It's kind of like that. Only with more tourists, gaudy t-shirt shops, cows, and rednecks. It's hard to pay the thousands of dollars in airfare to spend a week in a town I'm not crazy about, so last year I appealed to my mom and begged that all of us take a road-trip to one of the nearby beach cities. We used some timeshare points to reserve a week at a condo-type resort. We got to hang with my family, in a setting that we all enjoy. Win-win.
After catching up on some sleep, we hit the road, bound for Daytona Beach. Chrysler generously let us borrow a minivan from their fleet for the week . . . a brand-spankin' new Town & Country. Admittedly, Mark and I are not car people. We drive very old cars, and have never owned a new car. Or a car with leather seats. Or butt warmers. Or nice stereos. So I will admit, driving around in this bad-boy made us feel like we were hillbillies staying in a fancy resort.
The Town & Country had another feature we've never had: built-in DVD players. A screen for each row. OH MY WORD is that a game changer for road-tripping with kids. No fights. No whining. No asking how long until we got there. They quietly watched a movie and then we were there.
Meanwhile, in the front seat, we geeked out over the built-in navigational system.
And the fact that I could plug my iphone in via a USB port and the stereo scanned the contents onto a touch screen. Hello, podcasts!
About half-way to our destination Mark spotted a Krispy Kreme with the HOT NOW sign on.
Here is a life rule to follow: always stop when the HOT NOW sign is on. Always.
(Okay, there is an exception to that rule. If you are in labor, don't stop. Believe it or not, THIS WILL COME UP LATER. In next Monday's post. Stay tuned!)
The kids all got donuts with chocolate and sprinkles, but Mark and I are purists and opted for the plain glazed. There is just no reason to sully perfection with sprinkles.
We're here!
We arrived after dark, so we ad to wait until morning to check out the view. OH MY WORD, THE VIEW. This is my happy place.
Later in the day, we gathered in my sister's room to open gifts . . . all 21 of us. This family gets bigger every year.
Doesn't my teenage nephew look excited?
Speaking of this family growing every year, I got to meet my new nephew, who is a foster child. Also, this:
My brave sister came out to the beach at 39 weeks pregnant. SPOILER ALERT: She does not return home pregnant. Are you excited about next Monday's post or what???
The girls spent most of the time quietly drawing. Whereas the boys spent most of their time like this:
Although Karis bridged the gender gap by acting as a human weight while Derek did his tricep pulls.
We celebrated Jafta's birthday our second day there. The resort had an arcade so he requested an evening of playing video games. So at least he spent his day with his One True Love. We planed to have cupcakes, but several trips to grocery stores availed no gluten-free cupcakes, so we settled for some kind of an egg-custard-thing that Mark had the bakery write on. The writing promptly slid down the custard in the car making it illegible. Then we had no candles, so Mark improvised by holder a lighter while we sang. You guys can pin that if you want to.
Then, for reasons unknown, Jafta blew out the lighter and then shoved the custard in his face. He's a stickler for tradition and I guess he was still mad at me for not throwing a pie in his face this year.
I WILL HAVE MY DAY. That's what this face said.
Video games, a pie in the face, and more beat-down from his cousin. In other words, Jafta's Perfect Birthday.
This is a sponsored post written on behalf of Chrysler. All opinions are 100% mine.

Eddie Cibrian Denies Brandi Glanville's Child Support Claims
LeAnn Rimes and her husband Eddie Cibrian stop to chat with a friend while heading out for lunch on Thursday (February 20) in Calabasas, Calif.
The 40-year-old actor is in a very public custody battle with his ex-wife Brandi Glanville, who claims he is asking her to pay child support.
"Im not taking cheap shots at my ex in my new book cuz its all true,&now mr fancy new cars&house man is asking ME for child support!" Brandi tweeted.
Eddie's rep denies the claims saying (via People), "There is no truth to the claims that Eddie has requested child support from Brandi now, nor will he ever request child support from his ex-wife. The notion is preposterous. This is yet another ploy for self-promotion."

Is it an available Frequency?
I asked this question:
I conducted a channel search at my proposed location ( 39.456874, 94.237864 ). REC says 105.7 is fully spaced and available, however it does offer a note about spacing from a third adjacent channel. The FCC search and RFree searchs did not show 105.7 as an available frequency at this location.
I got this response (THANKS KEITH!):
I asked Michi over at REC Networks (aka myLPFM) this question since it was not obvious to me and as usual, it was obvious to Michi :-)
The FCC database records the coordinates of FM stations in their database in two different ways. One way is in degrees-minutes-seconds and direction (NSEW) just as you would enter it on your FCC paperwork. But that form is pain to work with since you always have to convert to floating-point numbers anyway, and for some calculations it is also annoying that the sign can be negative, so the FCC also keeps the latitude and longitude in the database as "biased" (so as to remain positive) floating-point degrees -- much more convenient for computing.
As Michi pointed out, sometimes the FCC's floating-point degrees diverge significantly from what would be calculated from the d-m-s values -- essentially moving that station, and that's what happened here. myLPFM uses the floating-point values and RFree uses the d-m-s values. So RFree sees KKJO as blocking 105.7 but myLPFM does not. This is not surprising because the floating-point vs d-m-s difference is over 2500 seconds in both latitude and longitude for KKJO, which is probably on the order of 50 miles!
Thanks for the input, I understand now what happened. I assume the FCC search failed to report that as an available channel for the same reason.
I have a followup question, if I may. Since I am entering my coordinates on the application in D/M/S form, will this effect the freq. availability as far as the FCC is concerned?
Where is KKJO anyway?
Keith here :-) (not really)
To figure out about 105.7 you'll have to do some homework and find out where KKJO is actually located and also look them up at the FCC (google for fcc cdbs search). If the FCC's d-m-s coordinates are accurate then RFree probably has the right answer. If they are pretty far off then myLPFM probably has the right answer.

An architectural firm specialising in designing golf courses has unveiled plans for fairways and greens to be constructed in the shadow of the pyramids of Egypt.
New Giza – which is also a residential development – is currently been developed say Thomson Perrett & Lobb, the practice founded by five-time open golf champion Peter Thomson, who has just returned from a site visit.
When completed, the course will offer views of the nearby ancient monuments.
"With so many golf developments having been put on hold over the past year, it is a credit to the developers and everyone involved with New Giza that the project is moving forward," said principal Tim Lobb.
"The site for the golf course is part of one of the most dramatic landscapes we have worked on, with incredible hilltop views to the pyramids and 50-meter-high cliffs, which have been incorporated into the golf course design."
The plan will be part of a 1,500-acre development which will also includes two hotels, a hospital with 540 beds, medical school, university, two schools, sporting club, two mixed-use areas with restaurants, shopping malls and office spaces, plus 5,500 villas, townhouses, and apartments in 10 neighborhoods surrounded by parks and lakes.

Have Your Friends And Family Help Out With Dessert At Your Reception
Written By fania lubis on Friday, 3 March 2017 | 12:38
Dessert is a course that proves a primary meal. The course usually involves sweet foods and beverages, such as dessert wine or liqueurs, but may include coffee, cheeses, nuts, or other savory items. In some parts of the world, such as much of central and western Africa, there is no custom of the dessert course to conclude meals.The phrase "dessert" can apply to many confections, such as bread, tarts, cookies, biscuits, jellies, pastries, ice creams, pies, puddings, custards, and sweet soups. Fruit is also commonly found in delicacy courses because of their naturally occurring sweetness. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly tasty to create desserts.
The particular word "dessert" originated from the French word desservir, meaning "to clear the table. "[1] Its first known use was in 1600, in a health education manual entitled Naturall and unnatural Directions for Health, which was authored by William Vaughan.[2][3] In his A History of Dessert (2013), Michael Krondl explains it refers to the fact dessert was served after the table got been cleared of other dishes.[4] The term dates from the 14th century but achieved its current meaning round the beginning of the twentieth century when "service? los angeles fran? aise" (setting a variety of dishes on the table at the same time) was replace by "service? una russe" (presenting a dinner in courses. )"[4]Sweets were fed to the gods in ancient Mesopotamia[6]: 6 and India[6]: 16 and other ancient civilizations.[7] Dried fruit and honey were most likely the first sweeteners used in almost all of the world, but the spread of sugarcane around the world was essential to the development of dessert.[6]: 13Typically the spread of sugarcane Sugarcane was grown and processed in India before five hundred BCE[6]: 26 and was crystallized, rendering it easy to transport, by five-hundred CE. Sugar and sugarcane were traded, making sugar available to Macedonia by 300 BCE and The far east by 600 CE. Within South Asia, the Middle East and China, glucose has been a basic piece of cooking and puddings for over a 1000 years. Sugarcane and sugars were little known and rare in Europe until the twelfth century or later, when the Crusades and then colonialization spread its use.Europeans started out to manufacture sugar in the Middle Ages, and more sweet desserts became available.[8] Also then sugar was so expensive usually the particular prosperous could indulge on special occasions. The first apple company pie recipe was published in 1381.[9] The earliest documentation of the term cupcake was in "Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats" in 1828 in Eliza Leslie's Receipts cookbook.[10] Typically the Industrial Revolution in The usa and Europe caused desserts (and food in general) to be mass-produced, prepared, preserved, canned, and packaged. Frozen foods became very popular starting in the 1920s when freezing emerged. These fully processed foods became a huge part of diets in many industrialized nations. Several countries have desserts and foods distinctive to their nations or region.[11]Cakes are sweet tender breads made with glucose and delicate flour. Cakes can vary from light, well-ventilated sponge cakes to thick cakes with less flour. Common flavourings include dried up, candied or fresh fruits, nuts, cocoa or extracts. They may be filled up with fruit preserves or delicacy sauces (like pastry cream), iced with buttercream or other icings, and adorned with marzipan, piped borders, or candied fruit. Cake is often served as a celebratory dish on ceremonial occasions, for example weddings, anniversaries, and 1st birthdays. Small-sized cakes have become popular, in the form of cupcakes and petits fours. Chocolate is a typically sweet, usually brownish, food preparation of Theobroma cacao seeds, roasted, floor, and frequently flavored. Pure, unsweet ill-flavored chocolate contains generally powdered cocoa solids and cocoa butter in varying proportions. Very much of the chocolate currently consumed is in the form of sweet dark chocolate, combining chocolate with glucose. Milk chocolate is sweet chocolate that additionally contains dairy powder or condensed milk. Candy contains cocoa butter, sugar, and milk, but no cocoa solids. Dark chocolate is produced by adding fat and sugar to the cacao mixture, with no milk or much less than milk chocolate.

Duality and the End of Reactive
@Fabio Galuppo: Don't drink too much of the typesafe coolaide :) While I love what they are doing, I am not so fond of their attempt to pervert associations like Reactive == Actor, Actor == Typesafe therefore Reactive == Typesafe. Reactive is much bigger than that. Rx plays his part, which we are all super grateful to Erik (and Bart et.al) for giving us. Rx is cross platform now thanks to continued work from MS, Erik and Guys like Ben at Netflix.
Another point, this is a canned presentation. It is a well planned and executed and has been performed at other conferences. The firing analogy works well for it's purpose (comedy, marketing stunt and conveying knowledge). In my experience, off stage Erik is a very sweet and passionate person.
Thanks for sharing, explaining and moderating Charles. Keep it up!
Event processing at all scales with Reactive Extensions
Bart rocks.
@scyonx, If you are looking for some help on Current Best practices in the industry when using Rx, look over to ReativeTrader from the crew at Adaptive. There will be more in the way of blogs from them soon too. If you want anything more specific, I imagine you could just get in contact with them
MVVM Best Practices
Thanks Brian.
I thought this would be another mis-guided discussion on MVVM and some dogmatic views and misunderstanding between Prism and MVVM. I was pleasantly surprised. I agree with most of what you have said here.
In my experience, what many WPF devs are missing is the next 40-60min of this discussion.
- What is a Model?
- How should I inject my dependencies?
- How do I keep my UI responsive?
- How do unit test my ViewModel and Model (while still having code that keeps it responsive)?
- Does everything have to be a View, a ViewModel or a Model? Do I have to Suffix everything with these distinctions? i.e. you use Person, Would your real project be PersonView, PersonViewModel & PersonModel? What if my Person(Model) is a graph that has Addresses/Favorites/Basket etc hanging off of it; are these models too? Should they all be suffixed with "Model"?
- How does DDD fit in with MVVM.
Would enjoy seeing a show with this level of Q&A happening (i.e. the actual questions that come up in any Enterprise MVVM app after the first hour of coding).
Again good job.
Web Essentials 2013 Preview
26:30 The general argument I have heard against regions is that (in C#) if you class is so big you need regions, you are doing it wrong. The exception I see for this is CustomControls in WPF/SL.

15:15 "that not the way XAML would do it!" true, the first value is the Left value not the Top as per CSS. However your point as to a 3 value margin is wrong. XAML only supports 1, 2 or 4 values. 3 is not allowed. For 1 value; all sides get that margin, 2 values First value is Left&Right Second value is Top& bottom, 4 Values; Left, Top, Right, Bottom.
C++ and Beyond 2012: Herb Sutter - C++ Concurrency
Concurrent<T> looks very similar to the EventLoopScheduler in the Reactive Extension library (Rx). Nice feature to have the Thread.Join in the destruction. Also nice to get the result back in a future, however .NET would just use Tasks<T> for this. Scheduling is a slightly different problem space, better suited for the fire and forget problem like the logging example.
Good session as usual
.NET dev, but interested in what ever Herb says
Ping 161: Scroogled, Xbox sales, Windows Store wins, IE 10 trolls
IE was the best browser from v4.5 to v6 (or 1998 to 2004/5)
Paul is spot on, IE6-9 was a really poor experience compared to Google's Chrome and FF.
M$ marketing budget maybe wasted here. First make sure IE actually doesn't suck any more (maybe it doesn't but my fingers have been burnt), next gain a natural following by having a product that doesn't suck.
The only people marketing will work on are the people who cant make the critical analysis for themselves, these are the people that will have just used IE all along because it comes with windows.
The only way to get a loyal following back, is from a quality product....and time (for those old wounds to heal)
I want IE to be good (like .NET, Win8, SQL Server, WP, XBox). Installing Chrome is a pain in the rear, just less of a pain than using IE.
Bart De Smet: Rx 2.0 RTM and RTW
@Minh You can also get the zero-to-hero guidance from www.IntroToRx.com. If it doesn't provide what you need then (as you sound like the target audience) then we will try harder for version 2 of the book/site, if you provide the feedback.

Loreto on the Plains Personal Care Home
"Where Prayer Makes the Difference
Giving Hope Where there is No Hope"
Loreto on the Plains Personal Care Home has 3 patient / resident rooms plus a private Guest Room. The rooms are decorated in a very welcoming, home-like style. The Blue Room is a special Guest Room for times when a family member is dying and the family desires to stay close. Sometimes the family has traveled long distances and needs a place to rest until hotel arrangements are made the following day.
There is a private chapel, which will be available 24 hrs a day for patients and families as well as the volunteers and "staff" of the Center. It is a quiet and intimate place of prayer where the one can come for comfort and healing.

Visiting areas where family and friends can share without disturbing the patient / resident. Also available to the patients and their families is the use of the Pope John Paul II Family Life Center
Water fountains big and little features for prayer, education or a quiet meditation walk in the Divine Mercy Prayer Gardens. Water therapy is an important aspect of this ministry.
The sights and sounds of our faith are everywhere to build hope and faith in Jesus our healer and to remind us of those who went before us.
A small corner altar alcove will be in each room where a favorite statue, image of Jesus or other spiritually uplifting object or picture may be placed to bring comfort to the patient at times when they are alone.
Other features are a large entry way, large bathrooms between rooms.
Plenty of other bathrooms for guests and children. A play ground will be available for children.

A Habitat Underfoot
Many animals live in places you don't ever see—some right under your own feet! You have been learning how living things get what they need to live in different kinds of habitats. In this activity, you and your family members can observe worms in their underground habitat.
- large glass or clear plastic jar with lid
- sand
- moist soil
- 2–3 earthworms
- fresh leaves and grass clippings
- water
- dark construction paper
- clear tape
Ask an adult to help you put several layers of sand and moist soil into a large, clear jar. Place 2 or 3 earthworms in the top layer of soil. Place fresh leaves and grass clippings on the top of the soil. Wash your hands well. Sprinkle some water on the top of the soil and leaves. Put the lid on the jar. Wrap the outside of the jar with dark construction paper. After a day or two, uncover the jar. Observe the worms, the soil, and the clippings. After a few days, release the worms in a garden.
What did the worms do? What happened to the sand and soil? Why? What do worms eat in their habitat? How do you think worms can help the soil?

TONMAWR chairman Les Day believes his club can end a memorable season by lifting the Division Two West title after he heard that rivals Dunvant had stumbled at Bridgend Athletic.
"It was a good win over Felinfoel by 27-16 and I believe we can do it," said Mr Day. "We go to Pencoed on Wednesday and have Corus, Cardigan and Waunarlwydd to come. If we had not slipped up against Dunvant earlier we may have wrapped it up by now.
"Our Cardiff-based fly half Andrew Edwards, flanker Rob Hill and Geraint Lloyd gained our tries. Geraint also dropped a goal and Andy landed a conversion, while Ross Livingstone kicked a penalty and two conversions."
Bridgend Athletic moved to second, but trail Tonmawr by three points, while Birchgrove failed to appear at Cwmllynfell, yet Aberavon Quins, who have to fight a 12-point deduction, amazingly beat Vardre 37-31.
In the East, Builth Wells gained a win at Risca and then were surprised to hear that rivals Fleur de Lys had stumbled to a 29-8 home loss to Llantwit Fardre with Richard Langmead kicking 14 points on loan from Pontypridd.
The 112-0 win by Abercynon was the 10th century of points against Penygraig.
The division sadly has become the laughing stock of Welsh rugby and the 'Graig' rarely muster 15 players for the match, being usually lent players from their opponents.
Ian Withey (4), Lyndon Lewis (3) and two each by David Jones and Huw Davies led the Cynon to 16 tries and Matthew Turner passed 300 points with 11 conversions and a try. His brother Geraint also crossed the Penygraig line.
Croesyceiliog gained a good 26-12 win at Llantrisant with Steve Thomas gaining two of their four tries.

Springpad iPhone App Review - What is it?
First things first. The Springpad iPhone app is for people who want to quickly save ideas and information that they want to remember. If you're one of these people, then go ahead and install the app on your iPhone. It's a free app so you can freely delete later on if you think that you won't have a use for it. But I doubt you'll want to delete it after you find out how useful Springpad can be in helping you remember practically anything you encounter on the Internet.
How does it work exactly? Let's say you come across some interesting information from your daily web browsing. Yes, you can bookmark the site but that's the old way of doing it. If you bookmark it, chances are you won't take a look at it again. So, why not save it to your Springpad account instead? If you save it using Springpad, you can assign it to various categories such as notes, tasks, products, places or practically anything.
Springpad automatically organizes and enhances the stuff you save with useful information including directions, showtimes, price comparisons, and links to where you can purchase items.
After saving items, you can then go on and live your life. Then later on, if you want to go back and check out what you've saved on Springpad so far, you can easily do so using your iPhone. Or if you don't have your iPhone with you, you can check your Springpad account from the Springpad server. From there you can do the things you still need to do, buy the items you need to buy or reserve things.
In other words, Springpad makes your online life more organized.
- slide 2 of 3
Springpad iPhone App Review - Features
There are many things that Springpad allows you to do. You can type in a note or thought so you won't forget about it, save a photo of anything which you may want to look up later on, save nearby businesses and restaurants based on your location, scan a bar code of any product, book or media so that you can save it for later, search the web and then add movies, books, wine and more, access all your saved date online and offline and more.
To make Springpad more useful, you need to create an account from Springpad's online site. After creating your account, it will automatically sync with your iPhone app. So, it won't matter any more whether you are using your iPhone or your computer desktop when saving items. You'll have access to everything using either your iPhone or your computer.
- slide 3 of 3
We definitely recommend Springpad if you spend most of your time browsing the web, either for business or personal purposes. The Internet is definitely a vast space where you can find almost anything. To make your life easier and your daily task of surfing the web more fruitful, use the Springpad iPhone app.
Lastly, Springpad as an iPhone app is pretty well designed too. The interface is streamlined and very easy to use. That's very important because it will determine whether you'll use it again after downloading and firing it up for the first time.

TRENTON –New Jersey has entered into a multi-state settlement agreement with The Dannon Company, Inc. under which Dannon will pay the states a total of $21 million to resolve allegations it made unsubstantiated and deceptive marketing claims regarding its Activia yogurt and DanActive drink products, Attorney General Paula T. Dow announced today.
Under terms of the settlement – the largest payout to date in a multi-state settlement involving a food producer — New Jersey will receive $425,000. A total of 39 states and the Federal Trade Commission worked cooperatively on the Dannon investigation, which focused on claims made by Dannon about the purported health benefits of eating Activia and drinking DanActive. The FTC has entered into a separate settlement agreement with Dannon regarding the same claims.
Among other things, New Jersey and the other states allege that Dannon has misleadingly claimed in its marketing of Activia yogurt that a single serving per day for two weeks improves intestinal transit time. In fact, the states' investigation found, the majority of studies show that it requires significantly more Activia – three servings per day for two weeks – to achieve digestive benefits.
Dannon also claimed in marketing DanActive that drinking the beverage would provide certain "immunity" benefits, including prevention of cold and flu. The states alleged that such claims were deceptive, and that Dannon lacked adequate substantiation to make them.
In the case of both Activia and DanActive, Dannon made its claims of health benefits based largely on the presence of one ingredient — a bacterial strain with purported probiotic benefits. The strain in Activia was trademarked under the name Bifidus Regularis. The strain in DanActive was trademarked under the name L. casei Immunitas.
A lawsuit filed by New Jersey today along with the Dannon settlement agreement contends that the company made claims in its advertising, marketing, packaging and selling of Activia and DanActive that were not substantiated by competent and reliable scientific evidence.
Under the settlement, Dannon is now limited in the representations it can make regarding Activia and DanActive. Specifically, Dannon cannot claim the two products help prevent, treat, cure or mitigate disease. In addition, Dannon must possess competent and reliable scientific evidence to support otherwise-permissible claims about the health benefits, performance, efficacy or safety of its probiotic food products.
Under the settlement agreement, Dannon admits no wrongdoing.
Along with New Jersey, states participating in the settlement include: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the State of Hawaii Office of Consumer Protection.
Deputy Attorney General Alina Wells, of the Division of Law's Consumer Fraud Prosecution Section, represented New Jersey in the Dannon matter.

I searched for a thread of waiting times but found no info.
I am completely prepared and happy with approx 12 weeks until i get it ... will give me some time to change my mind over the build components
I just thought it would be informational and interesting to see how long people waited and the frame type they waited for .
I would say some of the rarer frames .... eg folding helius might have a longer wait as from what i hear they are done in batches .
Please post Frame type and time from "ordering" till "frame in hand"

Sunday January 4, 2009
I'll be attending the LSA 2009 meeting in San Francisco next weekend, and as in previous years, I think we should get together for drinks or food or something. Now, if you read those posts about our previous gatherings, you'll find the following, which I still believe to be true this year:
- Some of us may not have arrived on Thursday
- Friday evening is the grad student mixer, which some of us will want to attend
- Saturday Friday evening is the ADS Word of the Year event
Given this, the last couple of years we haven't tried to organize a single event, but instead have designated a corner of the hotel lounge as the spot to hang out, if you're so inclined, after the day's activities wind down. I plan to reconnoiter the hotel to find a good spot and announce it here Thursday evening—and unlike previous years, I'm just going to update this post rather than adding additional posts, so watch this space. I see the Hilton has a place called the Urban Tavern, but it apparently closes at 10:30 every night, which is...disappointing. I'll let you know what I find out.
Did you notice the antecedentless "we" in the first sentence of this post? Who, you may ask, are "we"? "We" are a loosely-defined set of linguistics bloggers, language bloggers, and blog readers, along with our colleagues, friends, and others (signifcant and otherwise). Basically, if you're reading this, you're invited. There's no minimum unique-visits-per-week or posts-per-month requirements. (Whew!)
Thanks to Claire and Russell for reminding me about this, and my apologies for taking so long to get around to it. I've been busy, I swear!
[UPDATE: Fritinancy points out that the ADS Word of the Year event is actually on Friday this year. That makes Saturday evening more open than in previous years—maybe we should consider going to dinner after all?]
[UPDATE: Well, I explored a bit. The Urban Tavern is nice, but the tables do seem to be under hostess control, so we can't just wander in and stake one out. The only other alternative I can see is the "lounge" area near the registration desk. It gets of lot of traffic and is kind of noisy, but at least it has wireless. What do you think? Tavern or lounge?
Friday evening is going to be busy: in addition to the ADS WOTY vote, they're apparently giving an award to Language Log at the LSA business meeting. Afterward, I'm planning to attend the computational linguistics session, possibly followed by the grad student mixer (because I'm frankly feeling a little old for grad student mixers). I suggest we focus on a plan for Saturday. Is there any good Chinese food within walking distance?
Oh, and did I see Semantic Compositions wandering around earlier?]
I am The Tensor, and I approve this post.

I'll be crossing the bay to attend (mostly for the American Name Society sessions), and would enjoy meeting you and other cyber-acquaintances. According to the schedule I just consulted, the American Dialect Society's WOTY event is Friday, not Saturday; it's followed by dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Ah, you're right, it looks like the WOTY is Friday, 5:30-6:30.

Several of us (me, Russell, Claire, and Semantic Compositions) are meeting Saturday for lunch at the crack of noon in the lobby, but I'm up for dinner, too. There's a break between 4:30 and 5:30, but that's a little short for dinner, so I suggest we meet in the lobby at 8:30, after the plenary and reception.

I could've stayed and watched him/her at work for hours---oh! throw in some coffee and I would've been over the moon! but I had a schedule to keep and I went to the gym and threw myself into my workout there and enjoyed chatting with some of the ladies that happen to frequent quite a few of the classes I regularly attend.
Therapy this week went all right. I'm still feeling ill at ease and dissatisfied but I have not been able to work up to collecting my thoughts and feelings to bring it up with my therapist. I've been dealing with feeling pressured to achieve wellness and appear better and sometimes feel like I'm spending my time listening to her personal stories rather than utilizing time for my own therapy and she's made a few comments that make me feel she is anti-medication which is part of my recovery* and having her come across that way is giving me bad feelings. It's all grown into a sort of mental block against this therapist and I find myself feeling grouchy and resistant when it comes time for my weekly appointments! Not good...
Besides that whole gnarled mess there was an interesting coincidence this week in session when she brought up the fact that I might have PTSD. I had listened to a story on "The Moth" just a couple days before and been moved to tears as I truly related to this man's tale of PTSD and wondered to myself, "maybe I have some of that going on too?" (Note: the hubster thinks it's just Generalized Anxiety Disorder and that's it, for the record)
The man was a combat veteran with 3 tours to the Middle East and when he spoke about the moment he realized that checking people for weapons and anticipating attacks around even corner wasn't normal I thought about my own fearful moments opening the door to my home and thinking that there might be someone inside waiting to attack me, or standing in front of my front door and fretting that bullets might shoot through it at any moment, or feeling vulnerable and scared in public, outside my condo, and even inside my own home... but relating so much to his examples and hearing him say that he made it to a place where he could recognize that being so afraid wasn't normal and he could relax with his wife and sip coffee in bed and just be-that gave me hope. That made me feel like I could get there too someday and I was so grateful for that.
That said, it sure sucks to be me right now in the midst of our family evening routines trying to surf my fear and anxiety and discomfort without getting too wound up or thinking about the future. I'm trying to stay in the now, trying to use my skills, trying to soothe and calm myself.
While I think many of my skills are helping, I also feel a heavy sadness to be dealing with these issues yet again. I feel a sadness for myself and the weight I carry. I feel a sadness as I yearn for a more comfortable and enjoyable "normal," but I'm just not there yet. Things are getting better though.
Things are getting better though.
Tomorrow is DBT class night which usually helps lifts my spirits. Thursday I have my regular TMS treatment and an office visit (check in with a doctor about every 2 weeks to make adjustments and check-in). That night we pack up and head east to see the hubby's family and celebrate his father's 75th birthday.
I'm excited to see my in-laws, especially my loving mother-in-law, but I'm nervous to see his siblings and be out of my routine and comfort (or semi-comfortable) zone of familiar gym classes and surroundings... I think I will manage, I think I'll do fine, and I'm planning on going for jogs and walks to keep myself energized-I'm just scared.
Oh the fear, so much fear.
Things are getting better though.
I will keep on keepin' on and keep y'all posted as much as I can :o)
*Speaking of meds, I've been on Saphris for a week now and while I had some severe fears and anxiety the first few days I'm having a much easier time taking my med at night and I think it might be helping my sleep a bit. I'm still having wakings and panic attacks in the middle of the night-some that are quite difficult to get back to sleep after-but I think it happens less and I sleep deeper and without as many dreams/nightmares which I appreciate. It's a "wait and see" type of thing, so we'll see how things go!

RAL quality certification mark
Monitored by a neutral body and on a regular basis
Certification marks characterise products and services which are manufactured or provided according to high, precisely specified quality criteria. Via a validation process RAL determines the requirements for the respective certification mark for every product and services group. In the process the manufacturer and service provider, the retail industry and consumer, testing industries and authorities are involved. The product and service specific quality criteria comprise all aspects that are important and useful to utilisation. They are published by RAL and are accessible to everyone.
Quality associations, which are recognised by RAL, award certification marks to manufacturers and service providers. They have to be able to prove in an initial inspection that they fulfil the respective certification and inspection provisions. They are then subsequently obligated to the continual monitoring of the provisions and in addition to that they have to have them monitored by a neutral body on a regular basis.
There are currently more than 160 certification marks in existence that characterise several thousand products or are used by service providers. Only RAL awards certification marks in Germany.
Following here the Kneer-Südfenster RAL certification marks:

If you are already using berries and almonds, why not get creative with your fruit and nut choices. Pomegranate arils and pistachios are a nice combo when combined with slightly sweet and nutty almond milk.
Instead of nuts, think nut butter. Any nut butter with a crisp sweet fruit, like pear, is a winner with a splash of your favorite milk.
Banana and walnut are always good in baked bread, so why not your hot steamy oats? Boost the flavor further with a splash of vanilla extract.
An overnight oatmeal is a solid standby for when you want a sweet, creamy, satisfying fix. Take two parts oatmeal, one part low-fat yogurt, one part juice and stir. Put it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, you've got three servings of a thick, cool, creamy and tangy oat treat that you can eat as is or warmed up.
Finally, Health Magazine features one you may not have thought of: savory oatmeal, complete with a crumbled piece of turkey bacon, low-fat cheddar cheese and scallions. This is nice for those breakfast eaters who want something a bit heartier in the morning.
No matter which one you choose, if you stick to the manufacturer's suggested serving size, just a tablespoon of nut, nut butter or cheese, and a half a piece of fruit, you'll be under 200 calories a bowl. But you'll be getting plenty of protein, fiber, heart-healthy fat and those fun-loving carbohydrates.

Liz's Adventure to Japan, South Korea and China
By Jessica Daniels On November 18, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
I've already described my exciting road trips to Boston's western suburbs and the great state of Maine (which — fun fact! — used to be part of Massachusetts), but I thought you'd want to hear from one of the staffers who traveled a greater distance for Fletcher. Here's Liz's report!
Hello Blog readers! I recently got back from a great recruiting trip to Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, and Beijing and wanted to share some pictures from my trip!
I arrived in Tokyo first, and had a few hours before I my work obligations. I really like to see the sights when I visit cities, especially if it means I get a great view. As such, before I went to work, I decided to try and visit some of Tokyo's highest structures. I had already visited the Tokyo Tower, so I wanted to see the new Tokyo Sky Tree! The Sky Tree boasts heights of 350 and 450 meters, and so it was on my to-do list! I took the elevator up to the first landing and was greeted with amazing views of all of Tokyo and could even see all the way to Mt. Fuji! I was thrilled the weather cooperated and gave me a great clear day.
Here you can see me (actually my feet!) standing on the glass floor 350 meters up!
After the Sky Tree, it was time to get to work! I headed to our admissions event where I caught up with some of our fantastic Japanese alums.
After my visit to Japan, it was time to head to Seoul, South Korea where I got to meet some great prospective students and see another terrific Fletcher alum, who helped me represent Fletcher at the admissions fair!
My time in Seoul was brief, but I did have the opportunity to go out for some delicious Korean BBQ – one of my favorite foods:
From Seoul I headed to China for visits to Shanghai and Beijing. I was particularly excited to visit one of our partner schools, China Europe International Business School (CEIBS). I had a great time touring the CEIBS campus and meeting my counterparts there.In Shanghai I also had the opportunity to have dinner with some colleagues at one of my favorite restaurants — Din Tai Fung. Though they are a chain and have restaurants all around the world, I still love to go whenever I can! If you ever have the chance, get the soup dumplings – you won't regret it!
From Shanghai I headed to Beijing to finish up my trip — where we participated in another admissions fair and I also did some interviews. The highlight however was a group dinner where we had Peking Duck. There were about 30 school representatives from all over the world, so it was really fun to make some new friends and enjoy a Chinese specialty!
All in all it was a wonderful trip! I had a chance to meet really interesting prospective Fletcher students and catch up with some enthusiastic Fletcher alums, and even had time for a little sight-seeing! If you missed us in Asia this time around, not to worry, we will be back in Seoul and Tokyo in early December. To see where else we'll be, feel free to check out our travel calendar.

Sunday's weather was rainy/snowy/windy in our local area, but snowy/windy in Maine. On Monday, I jumped in my car to drive to Colby College for a presentation alongside Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School. The eight inches of snow that fell on Sunday had mostly packed down or melted on the roadways and paths, but there was still plenty on the grassy areas.
From Colby, we drove on to Bates College for an evening presentation. Yesterday found us at Bowdoin College, where a lone snowman punctuated the otherwise autumnal scene.
I'm not usually the Fletcher rep who joins our peers out on the road, so this was a good opportunity for me to get to know John Templeton from Princeton, and to hear more about the program at WWS. And the career office staffs at the three colleges facilitated our conversations with engaged and interested future international affairs professionals. Today I'm back in town for a beautiful warm day, and I look forward to following up with students I met on my quick road trip.
Western suburbs tour
By Jessica Daniels On October 21, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
In an unusual scheduling fluke, the entire Admissions staff has been in the office for the past two days. Not for long, though. Flights will soon be carrying my colleagues to California and to the midwest (Chicago and Minnesota), and then next week to Asia.
While not as glamorous, but with the advantage that it requires no flights or jetlag, I'll be taking off in less than an hour for my tour of Boston's western suburbs. At noon, I'll be at Wellesley College, followed by a late afternoon information session at Boston College. (So crafty of me to fit them both in one day!) It's the perfect time to take a drive in that direction — the fall foliage is in full color burst — and we always receive great applications from graduates of both colleges. Plus, at Wellesley, I'm looking forward to meeting up with not one but two alums working in the careers office.
Two colleges, alumni visits, fall foliage, and home for dinner. A quick trip with lots of benefits!
On the road, heading home

Yesterday was fun. After the fair at Bowdoin, I joined about ten students and a rep from the career office for dinner and conversation. I'm hitting the road now, directly back to Fletcher, where Kristen and I are going to hold an information session for Tufts undergrads. Back to more varied blog topics on Thursday. Meanwhile, here are some pix from Bates and Bowdoin.
Liz is on the road
By Jessica Daniels On September 19, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
This week we really kicked off our fall travel. Kristen has already been to New York and back for MBA and Idealist fairs. And Liz is wrapping up a trip to the Midwest. Here are a few photos that she sent along from a visit to Macalaster College in St. Paul, MN.
A welcome sign on a sunny day after a long drive:
The team for the panel discussion:
Most of our travel falls into one of two categories, either participating in various types of graduate school fairs, or visiting colleges and universities in the U.S. and beyond. The college visits are often done together with a group of representatives of some APSIA peers. It's helpful to the students we meet to hear a diversity of information, and it gives us a great window into what our friendly competitors are doing.
The travel schedule is nearly complete, but some last visits are still being added. Check it out, now and then, to see if we've added a visit to a location near you.
We're hitting the road!

At this morning's Admissions team meeting, travel was the topic of the day. Two of us will be hitting the road this weekend, and all of us are booking flights, picking up visas, shipping materials, and lining up alumni who will join us at the larger grad school fairs.
We may be traveling to a location near you! Check our calendar of events on the road to find out. For the moment, please note that dates/sites are still being added as the details are finalized. If you don't see a location near you today, check back again in a week or so.
Liz reports on her first Fletcher trip
By Jessica Daniels On October 12, 2012 · 1 Comment · In General Admissions News, Our Staff
Last week, Liz and three other APSIA colleagues (nicknamed the G4) climbed into a van and toured the south. I'm a happy blogger because she wrote about it AND took a bunch of photos, which she arranged far more artfully than I ever do! Here's Liz's well-documented report.
My first travel experience with Fletcher!
Though I've traveled a lot in my roles prior to Fletcher, I had never experienced group travel before, and had never embarked on a minivan trip with colleagues from other schools. I'll admit, I was a little nervous leading up to the trip, as I had only been at Fletcher a little over a month and I wasn't sure what to expect. That said, I was also really excited to try something new, meet new people, and see some parts of the U.S. that I had only ever flown over! I packed up my favorite suitcase and headed to Logan Airport to start this next work adventure with an open mind and my camera at the ready. My trip began on a Friday in Washington, D.C., where I worked an Idealist Fair, and then I headed further south on Sunday to Nashville (otherwise known as music city) to meet up with the rest of the G4.
A little background info: "G4" is a group of four schools consisting of SAIS (Johns Hopkins), SIPA (Columbia) and Georgetown MSFS, in addition to Fletcher. We plan travel each year to college campuses across the country and join forces in meeting students. We've been traveling like this for over 30 years and everyone looks forward to these particular recruiting trips! The idea is that there are a lot of similarities between our schools, but we also have unique characteristics that make us each who we are. We give school presentations and answer questions at every visit, while highlighting what makes each of the four schools similar and different.
Before starting the G4 trip, I got to spend some time in D.C. after the Idealist event. Here are some pictures from my day off on Saturday, which was spent sightseeing and enjoying the magnificent weather!
From D.C., I flew down to Nashville on Sunday to meet up with the other schools and begin our G4 Southern Swing, which started on Monday morning. I had never been to Nashville before so I spent Sunday afternoon exploring the downtown area and checking out the Country Music Hall of Fame. It was neat to see all the live music venues and even cooler to hear all the different music as you walked around town. I loved that no matter where I turned I could hear live music from every direction.
We met up Sunday night for an amazing dinner at Merchants (I highly recommend the soup/sammie combo) and then headed out first thing Monday morning for visits at Fisk University and Belmont University. We then drove from Nashville over to Sewanee, TN to visit the University of the South. Everyone said the drive would be stunning and it didn't disappoint. We drove over the Cumberland Plateau, which had incredible views of the mountains and valleys for as far as the eye could see! If you have the opportunity, definitely take a drive from Nashville to Monteagle, TN.
The next morning we left Tennessee and made our way down to Atlanta for a few days with visits to Morehouse/Spellman, Emory, Agnes Scott, and the University of Georgia out in Athens. It was neat for me to see all the different campuses and I was especially captivated by the size of the football stadiums (I'm from New Hampshire – we don't have anything like that back home!). From Atlanta we went to Gainesville, Florida to visit Florida A&M and University of Florida, and we ended our tour in Tallahassee at Florida State University. All-in-all it was a wonderful experience; I learned lots of new things and made some great new friends! I'm looking forward to my next G4 trip to Southern California in a few weeks! Enjoy the pictures from the trip below. Take note: Fletcher is everywhere, even on the UF campus (see first pic)!
You can catch up with us at more recruiting events next week in NY, DC, Atlanta, and Chicago (sign up here) or at our next G4 trip which heads to Mexico and Texas in early November.
Until next time!
Wrapping up the travel season
By Jessica Daniels On December 16, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News, Our Staff
I did not do a good job of lining up tales from the road this year. I usually ask my Admissions peeps to write a little about what they've been up to, but the opportunity slipped by me. Until, that is, Kristen's final trip, which started well after everyone else's had ended. Lucky for me, she agreed to write this blog post:
Last week I returned from what was officially the last recruiting trip of our admissions "travel season." Talk to any admissions professional, and you'll quickly find out that we have a love/hate relationship with the fall. Most of us love being out on the road and meeting new applicants, but the pace can be frenetic and hard to manage with everyday work. My own travel schedule was very manageable this year, but the last trip — to India — represented a significant undertaking.
I was really excited to travel to India. I had been once before, in 2000 for the wedding of a friend. Each time I mentioned this to anyone familiar with India, the refrain was always the same: "Wait until you see how it has changed!" I didn't quite know what to expect, and I can't say that I saw many changes, but I certainly experienced them. Most notably, improvements to traveler infrastructure were apparent, and the whole trip was incredibly smooth and quite easy. This growth in infrastructure represents why we choose to go to a country like India: as the market develops, so does the number of qualified professionals seeking graduate degrees. In recent years, we've seen an increase in the number of applications and enrolling students from India, so we felt it was time for a visit. (A small footnote to say that that's not the only basis for our travel — we also go to places from which we would like to see more applicants.)
A highlight of any Fletcher trip is the ability to interact with our alumni. I was able to meet with some really inspiring Fletcherites, including one recent grad who is working at an innovative organization that uses rigorous and scientific impact evaluations to combat poverty; a current PhD student who is studying with a Boren Fellowship, and another who does very interesting work at the nexus of business and economic development.
Of course, these trips have their personal highlights as well. For me, that's always about the food. I have to eat, right? I had some really spectacular meals, and I was both heartened and disappointed to find out that one of my favorites was at a small chain that has an outpost in New York! Disappointed to know that I chose so unadventurously, but heartened to know that when the Fall 2012 recruiting season rolls around, I'll be able to hit an old favorite in New York. It's the glorious cycle of admissions.…

Jeff's on the road
By Jessica Daniels On November 5, 2009 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News, Our Staff
Last week, I asked Jeff (our newest staffer) to reflect on his Fletcher travels. Here's what he wrote:
Where has the fall gone? Every year I feel the same way when October draws to a close. Since graduating from college, I've held jobs that send me out on the road during the fall months. What that means for me is: no alumni/homecoming weekends, limited time for apple picking, and a jam-packed social calendar on the days when I am in town. That being said, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
The last couple months, I've had the opportunity to travel to New York City, followed by Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Each trip was fantastic, but there really aren't any exciting stories to share – nothing compared to Kristen's tour of Asia last year or Peter dodging wild fires in 2007. But I'm happy to say that the locations I visited this fall were a nice change from the travel of my previous job.
My life in corporate recruiting brought me to the same university campus once or twice a week for the majority of the fall months. While that got old quickly, I do miss the amazing restaurants that Philadelphia has to offer, and also the budget I had to "play with." Despite the gastric pleasures and the larger wallet of corporate life, I don't regret my switch to Fletcher. Meeting so many great prospective students and alumni during my travels has been amazing. I have enjoyed hearing stories from alums regarding their Fletcher past, as well as descriptions of what they are doing now. Alumni go out of their way to help the School, and from what I can tell, it's because they really value their Fletcher experience.
So, fall is flying by, but it's been great so far! I was able to visit friends who I hadn't seen in quite some time, and also to try some new restaurants (Eggspectations in Toronto, Rockit in Chicago, and Sushi Roku in LA) and visit some old favorites (JG Melon in NY and In-N-Out Burger in SF). Now I'm preparing for my next trip — North Carolina and Virginia — to host information sessions at various universities with colleagues from some other great schools. If you happen to be in the area, check out our travel calendar for the week of November 8th and I hope you'll drop by.
A Perk of Traveling for Fletcher
By Jessica Daniels On November 15, 2007 · Leave a Comment · In Our Staff
Our last word on travel this fall comes from Kristen.
Though my experiences traveling for Fletcher have been much less dramatic than Peter's recent brush with the Southern California wildfires, they are no less exciting. One of my favorite things about being on the road is getting to interact with Fletcher alumni on their home turf. We often ask them to help out at recruiting events, so that prospective students can get the low-down on the Fletcher experience. It's never hard to find alumni volunteers – they are excited to help, and sometimes we even have to turn people away. Our alumni are really in their element at these events where they can talk about their careers and their time at Fletcher – both subjects of deep passion for most.
I've very much enjoyed getting to know the alumni at these events. In Toronto, Waidehi Gokhale talked about how her work takes her all over the world for War Child Canada. She was getting ready for a research trip to Afghanistan when I saw her in September. In Washington, DC, Kevin Book regaled us with stories of his work doing political analysis for the energy sector at FBR. He really brings the subject to life and speaks of the many areas (security, environment, geopolitics, policy) that influence his work – a true Fletcher interdisciplinary perspective! In London, I spent time with Pedro Sanudo, the European advertising director for Yahoo! Pedro is well-integrated into the European business scene, and is on the cutting edge of new media.
The exciting part about speaking with these alumni, and many others like them, is that we see the Fletcher degree in action. We read your applications before you come, and get to hear about your plans and expectations. Then we see an infinite number of variations on the Fletcher experience, from self-designed curricula to varied thesis topics, to unique involvement in student groups. But seeing what happens afterward is what makes this job truly gratifying.
