MSU names Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics chairperson
Titus O. Awokuse has been named chairperson of the Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics (AFRE) in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) at Michigan State University.
August 26, 2015
Titus O. Awokuse has been named chairperson of the Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics (AFRE) in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) at Michigan State University. His appointment was effective August 17.
Awokuse most recently served as chairperson of the Department of Applied Economics and Statistics at the University of Delaware, where he was also a professor.
"Titus is poised to lead a department that is one of the largest in our college," said CANR Dean Fred Poston. "He joins a group of faculty members who are working in Michigan and around the world to address some of the toughest issues of our time in food, energy and the environment."
Awokuse replaces Lindon Robison, who was serving as chairperson on an interim basis.
"I am very honored to have the special opportunity of joining the Michigan State University community and serving as the chairperson for the Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics," Awokuse said. "It will be very exciting to lead such a dynamic and productive unit.
"I'm quite impressed with the excellent faculty and staff in AFRE and the potential for working together with them to build stronger and more impactful programs in research, education, outreach and engagement in Michigan and across the globe. I look forward to building collaborative working relationships with the students, faculty, dean, and other administrators and staff members in the college and throughout MSU," he continued.
Awokuse serves as a consultant for the United Nations World Food Program and its Food and Agricultural Organization. His research interests include international trade policy, economic growth and development, health economics and global food security. In 2014 he was appointed to the 14-member Nigerian National Agricultural Policy Committee to help the country develop a strong policy roadmap. The economic policy working committee assessed agricultural policy projects and initiatives developed as part of the Agricultural Transformation Agenda in Nigeria.
"Titus brings energy, experience and a quick grasp of the opportunities and challenges confronting our department," said Professor Scott Swinton, who chaired the search committee that recruited Awokuse.
Awokuse earned his doctorate in agricultural and applied economics from Texas A&M University. He earned his master's and bachelor's degrees in economics from Murray State University and Berea College, respectively.
He has taught classes in international agricultural trade and marketing, agricultural and natural resource policy, applied data analysis and statistical research methods. Additionally, he has served as primary advisor for more than a dozen graduate students.
Awokuse started at the University of Delaware as a visiting professor in 2000. In 2011, he became a professor in the departments of Economics and Applied Economics and Statistics. Between 2000 and 2011, he was an assistant and then associate professor and served as director of graduate programs in the UD Department of Food and Resource Economics.
Awokuse is a fellow of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities' Food Systems Leadership Institute and of the Institute for Transforming Undergraduate Education at the University of Delaware. He is a member of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, the American Economic Association, the Council on the Status of Blacks in Agricultural Economics and the International Association of Agricultural Economists.

Crowds roar, bells ring at Yankees parade
(AP) - Crowds roared and church bells rang in lower Manhattan on Friday as the Yankees' World Series championshipcelebration revved up with a ticker-tape parade.
As the players on floats made their way through Wall Street toward City Hall Plaza, a loud roar rose above Broadway and confetti rained down on the parade.
Revelers arrived early Friday to get a good spot along the routethough many were forced to pack surrounding streets.
Gov. David Paterson and rapper Jay-Z were among those in theparade.
Bells were ringing at historic Trinity Church, but the roar ofthe crowds drowned out the sound.
Reggie Jackson said the Yankees' 27th title has him thinking "alot" about owner George Steinbrenner.
"I wish he was here," Jackson said.
George Steinbrenner has made few public appearances since hishealth deteriorated in recent years. He attended the first twogames against the Phillies, returning to the new Yankee Stadium forthe first time since opening day.
His son, Hal, took over the day-to-day operations of the teamlast November.
"A magical day," Hal Steinbrenner said. "New York just hasthe best fans in the world."
Lower Broadway is known as the Canyon of Heroes. Some 200ticker-tape parades have been held there, for heroes ranging fromastronauts to sports champions to five-star generals.

Thanks for the suggestions.
If my site name relates to jobs that deal with online gaming, is it better to go with these poker/GAMBLING sites? or like the beta testing gaming sites? The beta testing gaming sites usually don't require adeposit of money and just a download but they pay significantly less.
Separate names with a comma.

While much of iPad presentation thus far has been focused on content consumption, Apple's iWork demo and the ability to run iPhone productivity apps -- and eventually iPad-specific apps -- as well as 1024x768 web apps means it's got a fighting chance in business, especially key verticals like medicine, and with developers like Omni Group.
First up, 9to5mac reports that in a survey by medical lynch-pin Epocrates [Free - iTunes link], up to 60% of doctors were at least considering an iPad:
- 9 percent want it now
- 13 percent want it this year
- 38 percent were interested and wanted more info
Next, Mac developer Omni Group, which has dipped a toe into iPhone development with Omni Focus [$19.99 - iTunes link], has decided to port than entire portfolio of apps -- OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, OmniPlan, OmniFocus, and OmniGraphSketcher -- to iPad even if it delays development of the Mac versions:
Remember how Macintosh was intended to be the computer "for the rest of us"? That's what we feel Apple's iPad is: the best computing device for most of the things people use computers for. (Or, as Apple puts it, "the best way to experience the web, email, and photos.") It's the computer people can sit down and start using immediately, without training, whether they're 2 or 92.
Having seen many workers struggle with inelegant interfaces and fidget with poorly conceived controls, the idea of a great app on a 9.7" multitouch screen will no doubt be highly appealing to some. An app that could work across iPhone, iPad, and desktop could also allow for quick reference when on the go, easy exploration when on site, and powerful organization and reporting when back at the desk. Sound appealing to you?

The Sheridan County Commissioners Tuesday unanimously approved a 99-year lease with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department for Lake DeSmet water rights. Commissioner Bob Rolston says that the Commissioners have always been behind the proposal.
The lease with the G&F is far from being a done deal, as the Johnson County Commissioners have expressed concerns about the lease.
Terms of the lease state that the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission will pay the Lake DeSmet Counties Coalition a total of $2,971,900 between October of this year and October of 2016, with the first payment this October to be in the amount of $850,000. The lease agreement still needs to be approved by the Johnson County Commissioners and the Lake DeSmet Counties Coalition.

Chateau des Plassons Napoleon is aged for a minimum of 6 years and makes for an excellent cognac to be drank on its own.
Warning: Last items in stock!
Availability date:
We have no tasting reviews for you yet, but have found that the producer writes that it is a very elegant old cognac with special flavours that develop on the palate.
The cognac house of Chateau des Plassons may not be one of the world's most well known cognac brands, but this beautiful chateau has an eminent history that can be traced back to the 1500s. Today, this artisan cognac house is run by two young brothers, David and Julien Pannaud, both of whom are passionate about the family tradition of cognac production. Situated in the Bons Bois growing area of Cognac, their eaux-de-vie is sold both under the name of Cognac Chateau des Plassons, and also that of Cognac Rastignac. A further portion is sold under contract to one of the big four cognac houses.

I've rewatched this whole show quite a few times. Each and every time I absolutely love it.
The show follows Sam and Dean Winchester who despite choosing different paths in life become "Hunters". Men and women that travel the world hunting down and killing the things that go bump in the night.
The show begins with Dean finding Sam at his university and convincing him to leave with him to find their missing father. They travel the country fighting werewolves, demons, ghosts, and even lesser known monsters like the wendigo; following clues that will hopefully lead them to what happened to their dad.
This show touts a diverse cast of characters each one of them incredibly likeable. The show manages to pull at your heart strings, terrify you, and make you gut yourself laughing sometimes in the span of one episode. I would highly recommend this show to anyone. The show is still going on today so you'll have MONTHS of binge watching joy. I give this show a 10/10 which makes this the third show I have ever rated this high. Go watch it!
Here's the trailer
What show should I watch next week? Let me know below!

Subject: I have found a CD that I think you would enjoy
|Pere Ubu
Worlds in Collision
Genres: Alternative Rock, Pop, Rock
CD Details
Similarly Requested CDs
CD Reviews
Accessible pop album
Pieter | Johannesburg | 02/22/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"World In Collision is Pere Ubu's most accessible album. It still contains their experimental edge, but a song like the poignant opening track Oh Catherine is pure pop with its lovely melody and poetic lyrics. Cry Cry Cry is likewise a most soulful and moving tune with universal appeal, the perfect hit single that never was.Even a song like I Hear They Smoke The Barbecue has a catchy tune that sticks in the mind long after the last notes have faded, whilst the quirky Turpentine has a hook strong enough to pass the pop test. Weirdness comes in the form of the title track with some innovative found sounds and Life Of Riley with its complex structure and swaying rhythm, whilst Mirror Man contains a lovely Glockenspiel.Over The Moon is another catchy pop song with a beautiful lead vocal and evocative imagery, Don't Look Back is a powerful rock number with a driving beat and rousing chorus and Playback is an atmospheric ballad. The beautiful choir-like vocals of Nobody Knows and the song's complex but cohesive structure make this one of my favorites. This amazing and rewarding song cycle concludes with the eerie, evocative ballad Winter In The Firelands. Worlds In Collision is a remarkable and neglected work that offers beautiful songs, moving vocals and impressive arrangements. I enjoy this album more than the highly acclaimed Dub Housing and Terminal Tower put together."
A consistently enjoyable album - Simply good music
drumb | milwaukee, wi United States | 06/03/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Although Pere Ubu have never been much more than a cult act, it would be difficult to fully understand this after listening to one of their albums. Case in point, the group's early 90s release "Worlds in Collision" may have a cover that is graced by disgracefully childish artwork, but underneath the offsetting packaging there lies a brilliantly conceived pop album that is in every way as deserving of critical acclaim as the band's more well known peers, which include The Pixies and to a certain extent the Talking Heads. On Worlds in Collision, Pere Ubu knows they are forever bound for obscurity, but they continue to pursue a pleasing and poppy sound nevertheless. Drafting Gil Norton as producer, a move that only strengthens the band's likeness to The Pixies, toning down the weirdness, and crafting the most straightforward set of songs the group has ever experimented with, Pere Ubu shows that even though they continue to share the stage with abrasive minded indie elite, they are in no way afraid to expose their more marketable leanings. However, even when Pere Ubu decides to abandon much of their underground persona, their pop effort would still be most accurately described as an experiment, since instead of cementing a single genre, Worlds in Collision tests the limits of pop music while still bordering on the Avant Garde in a way that few bands would dare to try. "Worlds..." is therefore a far cry from the group's post punk beginnings, a genre cultivated on the sprawling skronk of bands like the Birthday Party and Gang of Four, and owes much more to the styles less aggressive fallout, such as the Talking Heads. The lack of blatant shock factors and punk rock machismo on "Worlds..." also highlights the group's impressive songwriting abilities, which not only make for a thoroughly enjoyable and delightfully consistent album, but show the incredible sense of collaboration within the band itself, since every song is credited to the entire lineup. A consistent and utterly enjoyable album, World's in Collision is not likely to change your entire outlook on music, the way the Pixies could, but as a one of the most ingenious modern takes on classic pop, Worlds... is definitely a memorable listen."

The KIDS are alright!
Sometimes kids are frustrating, stubborn and hard work but there's a whole other side of them and it's one that we always try and see. There is real joy is their open mindedness, bravery, willingness to give stuff a go, straight down the line honesty and matter of fact assessment and recognition of fairness. Their confidence that blossoms in the right environment with the right support. Their willingness to listen, learn and achieve. We could all learn a lot from them.
We're running KIDS CAMP courses at Glentress for the fifth year in 2015. Glentress mountain biking sessions for kids went off the radar for a while but we are happy to fix that and our KIDS CAMP and other products for younger riders are really a great success story. These courses give all those kids, the one's who ride every day and the one's who do it a few times over summer, a great start to their riding for years to come.
We've worked a lot with young riders over the years. We run specific family days and kids mountain bike lessons at RIDELINES because we know the needs of a family are different. Over the years we've developed courses that get the best out of young riders – we know how they tick (until they move the goalposts again). But hey, at least we know they do that too!
We have an opportunity to play a tiny part in their lives, to influence them for just a small time and hopefully give them an experience that will give them more belief in themselves, boost their confidence – not just on a bike but believe that they can surmount personal obstacles and challenges, give them a strong sense of personal achievement and empowerment.
Oh, and give them a great start on a mountain bike with some mighty fine biking skills to make sure they get the most out of their riding, push themselves and set personal goals that they maybe thought were beyond them and you never know, maybe even show their mum and dad a thing or two.
The Easter and Summer mountain biking KIDS CAMP provide progressive tuition. Getting them out, getting active having a blast and learning new confidence inspiring skills. It's about learning core bike handling techniques but it's got to be fun straight from the off. Bring it on! It's going to be proper fun!

Serves: Makes 6 shakers
Special equipment: a spice grinder
Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven, and preheat it to 90°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment, and generously coat with cooking spray. Spread the tomato paste out into a thin layer on the parchment (an offset metal spatula works best). Bake until the paste deepens to brick red and is dull in color and not shiny in any spots, about 2 hours. (It will look and feel like fruit leather.) Let it cool. Tear the paste into small pieces, and finely grind them in batches in the spice grinder.
Add all the ground tomato paste back into the spice grinder, along with the Parmesan, oregano, garlic salt and pepper flakes, and grind to a fine powder. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The spice blend makes enough for about 6 batches of popcorn.
To make 1 batch of pizza popcorn: Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup kernels; when one pops, cover the pot, and cook, shaking the pot constantly, until the popping subsides to 1 pop every 20 seconds. Add some melted butter and 2 heaping tablespoons of pizza spice, toss to coat.

Audi has officially unveiled the Q5 Hybrid at the Geneva motor show. The vehicle was announced last year. The Audi Q5 Hybrid comes in an altogether exceptional form.
Following realization that Porsche's current assembly plants in Zuffenhausen, near Stuttgart, and Leipzig are too small to meet their high demands, the company is now looking to start production from North America and China. The plan is aimed at hitting the predicted global sales of 200,000 units.
The upcoming X1 crossover of BMW has delayed its U.S launch by almost one year. BMW spokesman Tom Plucinsky said the X1 won't be coming "until fall of 2011 at the absolute earliest." The stated reason is that the Leipzig, Germany plant can barely keep up to the extreme demand for the vehicle in the European Markets. Hence the plant is struggling to meet its European orders. Amidst this, US launch is not possible at the moment.
Two more days for till the 28th Wörthersee Tour in Austria closes doors. One of the most stunning four wheelers that take part at the show is this custom concept Audi Q5. With an eye for detail, the custom Q5 is covered with a special Daytona Gray painting and features a bunch of stylish red highlights on the rims, the roof rails, the front skirt and the rear spoiler. Running on the same supercharged 3.0 TFSI V6 that powers the S4 but now outputting 408hp the hunchbak monster flies to 100km/h in 4.4 seconds on its way to an electronically limited 250km/h. A beautiful design exercise that makes it stand out from the crowd, we can't help but wonder if we'll ever afford one. Looks simply stunning.
Audi Canada is trying to mock other SUV brands with their new Q5. It's true that the Q5 is the perfect mixture of utility vehicle and performances, but apparently the German automaker thinks that if it's not an Audi SUV, it's just a big box. I'm not buying into their jokes and I don't know about you, but I would have left the British do the advert instead of the Canadians. Looks cheap and doesn't make the point as it should … Check the videos out, and let us know! [Thanks David]
Scheduled to be available in the US dealerships starting next week, we managed to find out how much the new Audi Q5 will cost. And although it's only for the US market, we can definitely get the idea … The base model will start from $37,200 (plus $825 destination/delivery/tax), the Premium Plus starts at $41,500 while the Prestige goes up sky from $48,200. Based on the A4 platform, Q5 is a long-wheelbase crossover vehicle that plans to take on BMW's X3. It has an 18 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, so you better be saving some money if that suits you. We'd definitely want to get behind the wheel for a bit.
Just a couple of weeks after announcing the Audi Q5, the Germans have already came up with the S Line version that includes both interior and exterior changes.
On the outside 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels are available, a new front grille and new front air vents near the fog lights. These are the main changes that should make the Audi Q5 S Line a much more aggressive SUV. Getting inside it comes with a three-spoke steering wheel wrapped in perforated leather and with all sorts of functions and special Nappa or Alcantra seats with "S Line" embroidered on them.
No modifications have been announced for the engines. Too bad, because S Line means faster for most of us and I don't think this one will be faster than the original Audi Q5. It just looks like it could be faster.
The new Audi Q5 made its world debut, where do you think? At the Beijing Motor Show.
I'm sure Audi knows who they are going to fight with, in the compact crossover niche, because BMW already has the X3 live, Mercedes-Benz have just announced the GLK and Volvo seems pretty active, too. Their ace up the sleeve is the sportier (elegant) looks, or at least the Germans think so.
Beautiful headlights with bi-xenon lamps and LED daytime running lights, a large single-frame grille or those big wheels are extremely eye-catching when you take a look at the picture. I wouldn't expect anything cheaper on the rear: taillights with LED technology or the aluminum wraparound tailgate.
The engine palette is also nice. Three choices that include two diesel versions and a petrol engine, all turbocharged:
I really like what I see. Waiting for prices now !

She kept calling the berries on the holly bush "apples."
This is Madison's "aggravated look" so I stopped taking photos there!
I spent yesterday getting the Christmas tree up. This was our first real tree in six years of marriage. I told Jason that when we had kids I really wanted to do a real tree. I had NO IDEA the extra work in getting it up. I'm a neat freak and I about had three aneurysms with the sap and pine needles strewn across my living room. After we FINALLY got it up and cute about half a foot off the top so it would fit I began my work of putting the lights on. I like a lot of lights so I wrap just about every branch. I was covered in sap and my back was killing me when I was near the top and the lights went out. I froze in pure disbelief. So Jason stepped in and went to work. He replaced a fuse and they came back on. Just a few minutes later... poof.. they were out again. This happened a total of six times. I was screaming the whole time that I would throw the tree away before I would restring the lights!!
In the end we still have our Christmas tree!!

Barnett brace helps Crawley cruise
Tyrone Barnett scored twice in the first 14 minutes as high-flying Crawley thrashed Oxford 4-1 to secure their eighth win in the last 10 league games.
The former Macclesfield striker gave Crawley the perfect start by firing in from 25 yards in only the fourth minute.
Barnett's low left-footed shot beat goalkeeper Ryan Clarke diving to his right and skipper Pablo Mills put an overhead kick against the crossbar before Barnett struck again by heading in an Andy Drury free-kick from eight yards.
Oxford reduced the deficit against the run of play on the half-hour when striker James Constable cashed in on a defensive mix-up by Mills and goalkeeper Scott Shearer to roll the ball into an empty net.
Winger Drury restored Crawley's two-goal advantage in first-half stoppage-time with a low angled shot which went through the legs of Clarke after David Hunt had combined with Matt Tubbs.
Defender Dean Howell (58) fired Crawley's fourth from 20 yards direct from a free-kick. Kyle McFadzean was later denied by Clarke while substitute John Akinde went close on three occasions as the hosts eased to a straightforward victory.

Hillary's Secret Hospital?
Sound odd? It did to me.
So I looked up a bit about Chelsea's new apartment.:
I discovered that it exactly shares an address with:
METROCARE HOME SERVICES, INC. 21 East 26th Street, 4th Fl New York, NY 10010
To the press it would only appear Hillary was just dropping in for a visit with her daughter...when, in reality, she is receiving medical treatment and controlled substances from private physicians and private pharmacists on private property (no need for disclosure.)
If so, Chelsea's apartment served its secret purpose flawlessly this Sunday.
It makes sense that to establish a clandestine medical treatment facility in a residential apartment--one which is legally compliant with the controlled substances dispensing/stocking/delivery & shipping requirements and one which is able to legally supply and treat a private patient with the drugs needed. One would also have to register the address as a medical treatment facility.
In this case, I would assume the Clinton Foundation would be the controlling entity.
A staff (and private) doctor or pharmacist would then be employed (Hillary has two) to legally treat the patient, practice medicine within the confines of the private residence and dispense drugs to that private patient without any disclosure.
This sham medical facility, while legally registered as a public care facility would also have to be closed to the public in order to operate without any disclosure.
This is exactly what appears to be taking place at 21 East 26th Street, 4th Fl., New York, NY.

Excellent movie, great acting from all of them, and the excuses the Church makes to cover up the abuses are so well integrated in the movie you just believe them.

R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman. The Bronx, 1964, a Catholic school has just admitted their first black student. Soon, one of the sister suspects a charismatic priest of having an inappropriate relationship with the student, and the revelation may tear apart the community. Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams all do fantastic Jobs in they roles in this brilliant film.

Doubt is a pure vehicle for acting, combining brilliantly written words with a stunning cast. Meryl Streep is, as always, acting perfection, but her intensity is matched by Philip Seymour Hoffman (also always good,) and a surprisingly subdued and haunting performance from the usually bubbly Amy Adams. The film explores a difficult subject without moralizing.

Based on a play, also entitled "Doubt," the film unfolds much like a piece of theater would with the dialogue and actors all in the spotlight. It's in this way that Doubt ultimately succeeds. The performances are all fantastic. Meryl Streep is brilliant in the lead role, while Philip Seymour Hoffman owns as the Priest and Amy Adams shines in a more reserved role; throughout the film, I found myself anxious for the next scene where the 3 would be together because they had great chemistry. Also Viola Davis delivers a great performance, she has only one scene in the film but makes it count by stealing it from the great Meryl Streep. All 4 garnered Oscar nominations. The film also benefits from a really good screenplay. It is never too obvious in delivering its themes and topics, but the dial...

Acting says it all
Sister Aloysius Beauvier is the principal of the church-run school St. Nicholas, who has her own way of handling and disciplining students. Suspicion arises in her when Sister James comes to her and told her about a particular black student called one day by Father Flynn and comes back to class upset and with a scent of alcohol on his breath. These information, not supported with any other evidence and witness, make Sister Beauvier doubt the priest.
I understand why this movie failed to snatch trophies and awards as a film in general. But what is much clearer is why this particular movie received awards for its commendable actors. Without any doubt, Streep, Hoffman, Adams, and Davis had knock-out performances in here making every scene worth watching. They delivered magnificentl...

Great Acting, No Doubt
Créditos pela qualidade de um filme tendem a ser, em geral e quase aleatoriamente, atribuídos ao diretor, atitude que pode resvalar num equívoco: a experiência proporcionada em Dúvida se deve, em grande parte, pelo conflito de personalidades e motivações eclodido entre personagens construídos com todo o know-how ao alcance de intérpretes de primeira categoria como Streep e Philip Seymour Hoffman. Conduzido com elegância comportada, parcimônia deliberada e distanciamento um tanto gélido pelo autor da peça original homônima competente o bastante atrás das câmeras para não denunciar as raízes teatrais do material -, o drama é sustentado pelo entrechoque de olhares desconfiados, tensos duelos verbais, angústias interiores e ambiguidades deixadas no ar, elementos estes comunicados com sucess...

In the 90s the world was taken by storm by the rise of electronic dance music and a thriving culture and community formed in support of those who produce and distribute it. In recent years this community has seen a massive influx of new blood whose invite was distorted in transmission, leading to a loss of the core ideals and vibe that made raves so special to that early 90s crowd. Now marks the time for the new generation to step up. Let's bring in the summer raving in honor of those core values and bring the new generation into the fold properly. Let's show them what raves once were, and tune them in to that underground radio signal that calls us all back night after night!
$15 at the door all night!
18+ (bar for the 21+ downstairs)
There will be a chill area upstairs hosted by our own Bay Area DanceSafe with free water and snacks you can buy, and if you missed dinner fresh meatball sandwiches cooked by our own Vaughn Augustine Dumela will be available for purchase all night long in case you get hungry!

Dear Family Historian,
It's just a month until the next Route Back Home family history conference and it's promising to be the best ever, I hope you'll be able to join us!
The programme has plenty to appeal to everyone interested in genealogy who has family in North Antrim. Local researchers will be joining us every day to provide support and expertise and delegates will be able to chat and exchange ideas and information throughout the four exciting days.
The success of previous conferences has encouraged BBCTV to send a film crew. They will focus on two delegates and their story will be broadcast in October on the popular Ulster-Scots programme 'The Gaitherin' http://www.bbc.co.uk/
programmes/b046s2nc/episodes/ guide .
If you haven't booked your place, please make sure you don't leave it too late. I hope to see you in the Route next month!
Best wishes,
Keith Beattie

Picking the right apple is tricky. Picking the right grapefruit is trickier. James Parker, a national produce buyer for Whole Foods, rides to the rescue with a bushel of helpful hints.
Citrus: For grapefruits and oranges, look for fruit that is relatively smooth. A more textured peel suggests a thicker rind and an immature fruit.
Go for a relatively firm texture. A fruit that's too soft is probably overripe.
Check the weight. If two fruits of the same variety and size have different weights, the heavier one is probably juicier. You can put a fruit in each hand to test which is heavier.
Don't worry too much about color. A ripe grapefruit can be green. A ripe orange can be yellow or slightly green.
Still confused? Pull out your trump card: "The best way to tell if you're making the right purchase decision is to sample it right there," Parker says. Ask a produce worker to cut you a piece.
Apples: Look for firm fruit with no bruises or wrinkles.
Pears: Look for firm fruit with no bruises or wrinkles. Buy a couple of days to a week before eating and leave the fruit out on the counter to ripen. Place near citrus to speed the ripening process.
Bananas: Look for fruit with no visible bruises and store at room temperature. Fruit that's more green than yellow should keep three to four days.

In our modern era of marketing, it is becoming more and more difficult to separate and differentiate from the uprising of the digital agency mass.

I'm going to take a blogging break for a few days. I've been trying to read The Pilgrim's Progress for a few weeks, and, if you've ever read it, you know that it requires a great deal of attention. I've been tempted to give up more than once, but each time I am, a knock-down allegory will jump off the pages and hit me right between the eyes.
So, all this to say, I want to make some headway on this book this week, and stepping away from my blog is the best way to discipline myself. In the meantime, just for the heck of it, I'm going to re-publish some older posts. I'll be back for Works-For-Me Wednesday. See you then!

Clayman Lab
The Clayman Lab is the area in Mother 3 where you go to work part-time so that you can get into Club Titiboo and find Lucky/Duster. Anybody who works here will be given a free pass so that you can go to the Club that night.
[edit] Location
This place is up north of the Train Station east of Tazmily Village. This is the only way to get there, as the train is not running to and from the station unless you work there, which it doesn't even start running when you are a part-timer.
[edit] Usages
Here is where you work part-time as Lucas so you can go get Duster. This is a spot that Claymen are found working, and sometimes snoozing on the job. Those that are tired must be taken back to one of the first rooms. You have to do this three times to get through with this area. After completing it, you will be paid with a few items, and then rewarded with the Club Titiboo Ticket. You can always come back for more things, but you cannot obtain the Ticket anymore, as yours will work anytime throughout the game, as people abandon the Club.
[edit] Appearances
This spot only appears in Mother 3. On the outside it looks like an old building, and on the inside it looks like a beautiful building. Once you go downstairs, all of this changes. You will find that this place looks like a Mine, but really torn up and destroyed. This is the area that all of the Claymen work. It is basically a lot of ground with a few indents in the ground for you to go farther down. Of course, like a mine, this area also has little doors for you to go through. You will find that it is impossible to go very far in the mine though. At the very beginning of the mine, there is a little elevator for the Claymen. A Pigmask operates this, so you can get the Clayman back up to the next floor without pushing him up the Rope Ladder.

c'mon Italy we know you can be more original.. OK maybe not...
And gets hit by a bicycle and it gets totaled.
Attach a vacuum cleaner to it and clean as you go. Right?
Well, it saves all that energy walking from your car to the elevator.

T- The trail always calls for work
E- Every moment spent in nature is a privilege

Though there's a family history at Notre Dame that dates back roughly 100 years, Tom Seeberg said he can't help but feel betrayed by the Indiana university.
Speaking publicly for the first time since his daughter's Sept. 10 suicide, the Northbrook father said he believes the university failed to conduct a thorough investigation after his daughter, a freshman at nearby St. Mary's College, accused a football player of sexual battery.
"You've got to have a process that's robust, that's vigorous and that ensures that if you're saying you're going to take matters like this seriously, the process is serious," Seeberg said Thursday.
Hours earlier, St. Joseph County, Ind., investigators announced that without a victim, they simply didn't have enough evidence to file charges.
That's little consolation for the Seebergs, who believe investigators initially didn't take the girl's allegation seriously enough, and call into question why it took two weeks for the player to be interviewed.
"I don't think they've lived their values, and that's a great sadness to us," said Tom Seeberg of the university.
A day after Lizzy Seeberg was allegedly touched inappropriately by the Notre Dame player, who has not been publicly identified, she received a text message on her phone, records show.
"Don't do anything you would regret," it read, according to the Chicago Tribune. "Messing with Notre Dame football is a bad idea."
Eight days later, she overdosed on prescription medication.
With little hope that her accusations will ever make it to a courtroom, her father said his job now is to speak up for others who may be victims.
"ND's slogan is, 'We are the Fighting Irish,' and our opinion is that we are, too. We're fighting for young women," he said.
Although Lizzy Seeberg did have a history of depression, her family says she never indicated she was suicidal. The football player in question remains on the Notre Dame football team.

A Dog's Purpose is now a major motion picture
An Amblin and Walden Media Production, a Universal Release, in theaters Worldwide January 27, 2017!
The blockbuster, critically acclaimed novel A Dog's Purpose is finally coming to big screens worldwide!
Unlike many Hollywood movies, this one has the author of the novel, W. Bruce Cameron, (along with his wife Cathryn Michon) among the screenwriters. Directed by Oscar nominee Lass Hallstrom (A Dog's Life) the movie is produced by Gavin Polone (Zombieland).
The all-star cast includes Dennis Quaid (The Right Stuff), Britt Robertson (Tomorrowland), John Ortiz (Silver Linings Playbook), and Peggy Lipton (Crash). Josh Gad (Frozen) narrates the movie from the point of view of a dog who tells the story of how he continues to reincarnate, coming back each time as a dog, always remembering his past dog lives and his people, and always wondering, what is my purpose?
But perhaps the most amazing stars of A Dog's Purpose are the dogs themselves. They're not yet household names, but trust us, they will be.
The film was shot in Canada in the fall of 2015. Here is an on set photo of Bruce, with Bolt, who plays Buddy, the last of the four incarnations of the dog.
The movie will be amazing, perhaps the best dog movie ever made. However, as everyone knows, no movie can ever contain everything that's in a beloved book, so you definitely want your whole family to read the two book series before the film comes out.

I have Series E savings bonds of $100, $500, and for $25 dating from 1944. I have read that E-bonds purchased around this time should be cashed in, as taxable interest can be more than four times the original cost and more than three times its face value. -- M. H.
You should consider redeeming your old E-bonds, but for different reasons than you cite. The US Treasury has extended the maturity of E-bonds from their first issue for a maximum of 40 years. E-bonds purchased in 1941 will begin maturing after 40 years in 1981, and they will not be extended again. Thus, E-bonds with 40 years of life will no longer draw interest and should be cashed then if not sooner. Your bonds purchased in 1944 will mature after 40 years sometime in close to the multiples you note, but that is no reason in itself to cash them in. They will continue to earn 6 1/2 percent until they mature after 40 years, and the twice-a-year increases in redemption value are not taxed until you cash in the E-bonds. Then, all of the accrued interest is taxable at ordinary income rates. Or you may exchange. E-bonds for HH-bonds and defer paying the tax due at the time of the exchange.

The Haunting Prediction About Harry Potter
Deep in the Department of Mysteries, Harry and his crew find a dusty glass orb containing a prophecy revealed by Hogwarts' Divination teacher, Madame Trelawney, some sixteen years earlier. In the chaos of battle with the Death Eaters, the orb is shattered and the prophecy is released. But given all the commotion, no one can hear it, so only later does Dumbledore disclose the contents of the prophecy.
It announces that "the one with the power to Vanquish the Dark Lord approaches" and would be born "as the seventh month dies" sixteen years prior to this most recent disclosure--the year of Harry's birth. It further promises that "the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives."
The meaning of the prophecy seems quite clear. Even Dumbledore is convinced: the prophecy foretells a showdown between Voldemort and Harry. And Harry must be either murderer or victim.
But Harry's reaction is just what we would likely utter ourselves: Couldn't it be otherwise? Am I doomed to fate? How is that fair?
Prophecy: Magical vs. Biblical
With these questions, J.K. Rowling explores terrain common in many religious traditions. Prophecy, providence, and predestination are especially central in the biblical traditions that have emerged from the Hebrew scriptures: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
But how does prophecy in the magical world of Harry Potter compare with prophecy in the biblical tradition, particularly from a Christian perspective? The fulfillment of prophecy was crucial for the early church's proclamation. The Gospel accounts (especially the Gospel according to Matthew) are punctuated by claims that Jesus of Nazareth was the promised Messiah.
Obviously, there are several key differences between biblical prophecy and "magical" prophecy of the kind we find in the Harry Potter books. But there are also similarities. Looking at Harry's dilemma through a religious lens can provide us with some resources to see Harry's future differently.
Consider the Source
Prophecy in the Bible is always surrounded by a good principle of journalism: consider the source. A false prediction compromised the integrity of the prophet and thus tainted everything else the prophet had to say.If we apply this rule of discernment in the case of Harry Potter, we might wonder about the prophecy's validity. After all, the Seer who made the prediction about Harry's mortal duel was none other than Madame Trelawney, introduced to us in The Prisoner of Azkaban as Hogwarts' resident quack--something Hermione quickly discerned. Trelawney regularly makes wrong predictions (especially concerning the annual student death count). Given her miserable track record, it's hard to know why Dumbledore seems so convinced that this prophecy (about Harry and Voldemort) is real. With the prophecies concerning Voldemort, her altered, trance-like voice seems convincing. But even then, we need to consider the source. What if Trelawney's prophecy is akin to Harry's dream: a trap set by Voldemort? If Dumbledore operated with the biblical criterion of source suspicion, Trelawney's prediction should be disregarded.

Prompted by consumer complaints and costly delays, a growing number of airline officials are urging a reform that was once unthinkable: Hand over the US air-traffic-control system to a private company.
With a 43 percent rise in passenger numbers expected in the coming decade, there's widespread agreement that the nation's antiquated air-traffic-control (ATC) system must be updated. But the scope of the air-travel problem means that the radical proposal of putting the system into private hands is receiving more high-level attention than ever before.
If such a proposal succeeded, it would be the biggest reform in US commercial aviation since the deregulation of the 1980s - impacting everything from ticket prices to safety.
The notion, though, has long been opposed by major players in the aviation world, namely federal aviation administrators and airline pilots. Their opposition - grounded in the assertion that the current system needs to be updated, not discarded - is unlikely to change anytime soon. Yet the fact that some top airline officials are beginning to lobby for the transfer indicates that the debate over ATC's future will become more animated in coming months.
"This idea is no longer out on the fringe," says Robert Poole, a former aerospace engineer and president of the Reason Foundation, a think tank in Los Angeles. ATC privatization is "the critical next step to preserve the gains from airline deregulation by making the infrastructure flexible and market-driven."
Recently, the push for privatization has been building momentum. The Clinton administration's National Economic Council has been talking one-on-one to members of the House Aviation Committee about privatization models. And during the past few months, top executives at United, American, and Continental have made key speeches calling for the ATC to be turned into a private business.
The reasons to make significant reforms are clear. Current ATC has had an increasing number of runway near-misses, says John Mazor, spokesman of the Airline Pilots Association, and such safety concerns have led to more delays.
The question is: What's the best fix?
At present, US air-traffic control is maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and is funded mainly by passenger ticket-tax revenue.
Privatization proponents want to replace this with direct user-based charges paid by airlines. Delays cased by inefficiency cost the industry billions each year, Mr. Poole says, and any savings brought about by the change would be passed on to passengers.
That's been the experience in countries that have privatized ATC systems, including Canada and New Zealand, Poole adds. In all, 16 countries have gone private.
But critics say America doesn't need to go that far. Privatization is "unlikely, undesirable, and unnecessary," says Mr. Mazor. Like FAA officials, he says the current system can be saved, but only if Congress spends more money on modernization.
The key, he says, is to get Congress to spend some of the Aviation Trust Fund, a trust filled by airline ticket-tax revenue. To this point, Capitol Hill has been unwilling to do so, for fear that such expenditures might push the government even further beyond its tight spending caps.
Critics also say privatization could create a serious safety hazard. They point to Britain, where the Labour government came under fire for its continued support for selling off 51 percent of the nation's ATC, despite an Oct. 5 rail accident involving two privatized trains.
Poole and others respond that the FAA would retain much of its oversight on safety issues. Moreover, a privatized ATC would seek liability insurance from the private insurance market. This, Poole says, would ensure additional scrutiny of its safety by those underwriting the risk.
In addition, a private company could raise money much more quickly to modernize the system - making it safer and reducing delays. Using a satellite global positioning system (GPS) could help air-traffic controllers safely reduce the distances between planes, even under some adverse weather. That would allow more planes to fly in any given corridor.
Poole estimates that GPS would increase capacity at congested airports like Reagan National by 50 percent.
"People pay attention when they see improvements and lower costs coming together," Poole says, "which goes contrary to the idea that the solution is to throw lots more money at the problem."

The Ramcharger was classified as a full sized SUV built by Dodge from 1974 up until 1993, when it was discontinued and replaced by the Durango. The Dodge Ramcharger had only one two door body style available and was originally only made as a four wheel drive car, however, that changed starting in 1975 when a two wheel drive version was introduced to the market. The chassis of the Dodge Ramcharger was the same as the one used for the RAM pickups of the time, with the only difference being that the Ramcharger had a smaller wheelbase.
The Dodge Ramcharger was a competitor to other large sport utility vehicles such as the Ford Bronco. This car was also sometimes used as a rally car, but it never really took its place in this sporting branch and was not very successful. The Dodge Ramcharger was discontinued by the Chrysler Corporation in 1993, however, it was once again produced and marketed in Mexico from 1999 - 2002. This version, though, was never sold in the United States.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado: Active Fuel Management
December 06, 2013
Curious how "active" the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado's Active Fuel Management system is?
You can scroll through the instrument panel for a readout that shows when the 355-horsepower 5.3-liter direct-injected engine switches back and forth between four cylinders and eight.
In the lower right corner of the central IP display it'll either say "V4" or "V8."
Obviously anytime you're into the throttle for acceleration, it's in V8 mode. But much of the time during steady-state highway cruising, even at elevated speeds, it deactivates cylinders to save fuel.
Of note, our average fuel economy for the life of this test with the 2014 Silverado is 17.3 mpg, versus the EPA rating of 19 mpg combined (16 city/23 highway).

After another terrible terror attack by an asylum seeker in Stockholm, Sweden, German Chancellor Angela Merkel finally admits the some of the migrants she allowed into to Europe are "no doubt" terrorists.
During an interview with the Funke newspaper group, where topics such as North Korea, Syria and the upcoming elections were covered, journalist told the Merkel, "Many people are convinced that the refugee influx has made our country more unsafe."
"There is no doubt that among the so many people who have sought shelter in our country were also persons who have become the focus of the security authorities," she confessed, before adding "we should not forget that our country was already in the sights of Islamic terrorism before the many refugees came to us".
In December 2016, Germany face a high profile terror attack by Tunisian migrant Anis Amri, which were very similar to the attacks in Nice, France and the recent attack in Stockholm, Sweden.
When Merkel was asked if people would "have to accept terror" as part of everyday life following attacks in "Stockholm, St. Petersburg, London, also Berlin," she rejected this idea and said Germany would "never come to terms" with that.

PowerPoint is so ingrained in modern life that the notion of it having a history at all may seem odd. But it does have a very definite lifetime as a commercial product that came onto the scene 30 years ago, in 1987. Remarkably, the founders of the Silicon Valley firm that created PowerPoint did not set out to make presentation software, let alone build a tool that would transform group communication throughout the world. Rather, PowerPoint was a recovery from dashed hopes that pulled a struggling startup back from the brink of failure - and succeeded beyond anything its creators could have imagined.
Fascinating story. I despise PowerPoint because PowerPoint presentations are difficult to translate (my actual job), but there's no denying it's used in meeting rooms all over the world - for better or worse.

It's a combination of things. PPT has such limited space, and if the translation is longer and needs more space, the entire slide is all messed up. It's incredibly annoying and frustrating, especially since corporate people are fucking terrible at using properly sized images and such, making the PPT large and slow to edit.
It's... Not fun.
Yeah, I can imagine that would be terrible. Surprised slightly that i18n isn't built in to powerpoint.
But hey, you bill by the hour right? Right? There may be a way to macro at least the text replacement. Then you'd still have to clean up the design manually, but it might be easier.

Like the gunning down of Ronald Reagan, the crash is a piece of film that replays itself endlessly in my mind. Through damp, sticky darkness, I'm chasing the two red embers of a BMW's taillights around the long freeway on-ramp of Nelson's ÂCarousel. He taps the brakes. I reflexively answer with mine. Instantly, I'm skating off through wet grass. First sideways, then backward, down an embankment and along some trees, the mowed grass, leaves, twigs, and mud clods showering through the headlight beams. The white-hot flash of a lung-emptying "Bang!"
I'm pretty sure my helmet has hit the roof, but otherwise, there's no pain. Hanging in the belts, adrenaline roaring in my ears, I feel a sudden duty to radio the pits.
"I've rolled the car! It's all over! I'm sorry! F---! F---! F---!" End transmission.
But it isn't over. After worming out and being rescued, I watch the ass-over-teaÂkettle MX-5 be uprighted by Nelson's efficient wrecker crew. Paramedics haul me away to inspect my pupils. They ask me what happened. Pilot error, I tell them. The FAA official terminology is "controlled flight into terrain." Ten minutes postcrash, my heart is still throttled up to 140 beats per minute. Otherwise I'm within spec, so they grudgingly release me.
I emerge from the medical tent just as the Mazda is dragged into the paddock, rear bumper peeled back like the half-shed skin of a molting python. A gawking crowd forms. I pray that a soda straw will rise up from the underworld and suck me down.
The car is miraculously intact.
The fiberglass hardtop is whole and almost unscratched.
Before I can wriggle out of my skunky driver suit, somebody has set up tool boxes and klieg lights and a gas-powered generator. There is no chin pulling, no protracted planning, just a sudden blur of a dozen bodies around the car and the glint and tinkle of plated box-end wrenches.
Spontaneous teams break up to tackle the critical points: two bent links in the impacted rear suspension, the tree-rumpled passenger door, the windshield cracks that must be taped, and the flattened driving lights. I busy myself changing the front brake pads and rotors. Around me, people are holding spotlights helpfully, noodling solutions, dashing to grab tools for one another, laughing together. At one point, I spot boss-man Csere's legs among several pairs sticking out from under the bent rear suspension.
After two hours, the car is lowered onto fresh Hankooks. A full four-wheel alignment is complete after another hour, and the MX-5 motors onto pit road around midnight, to a hearty cheer from the other teams.
In eight years working for Car and Driver, I have never been prouder to call this sweaty, bloodshot-eyed lot my co-workers. It's a feeling almost worth rolling a race car for.

Tomorrow is the inRL meet ups across the country. I wish I could be there. We planned a family vacation to California, we leave tomorrow. I am truly excited about our trip. But part of me will miss the Community I will be leaving behind.
In a way it is odd to be sad about it. It's a community I haven't even met yet. But I am at a stage were I am desperate for true community. The kind that feeds the soul and heart.
I will be wearing my inRL t-shirt Saturday and catching the webcasts. I will be praying for the girls that meet. The ones like me that are desperate to fit in, to feel the warmth a Community has to offer.
I look forward to future get togethers with this inRL community.

I'll end today's posts with a vision of pure perfection.
At the Audi Oscar week event celebrating Marchesa red carpet queens Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig in LA this weekend, Camilla Belle was the host.
She dazzled wearing a Marchesa Fall 2010 off-the-shoulder feathered dress which made her look like a beautiful swan gliding down a lake.
Not like Bjork at the 2001 Oscars.
Normally I would complain about her hair being down with such a look, but the relaxed nature of her hairstyle fits perfectly with the dress.
Had it been too over-styled maybe her look would've come across too costumey.
Her look is paired with a Marchesa Karung corset frame clutch and Christian Louboutin Archidisco patent heels.
BDOTW contender for sure.
