Today was a beautiful, crisp, sunny day. It was great to put on a sweater and actually need it! Yes... I love cool weather!
I had a busy morning and before I knew it.... time to fix lunch! Something quick, nutritious and delicious! I opted for Pasta e Fagioli but this time with the addition of Italian sausage. The result was delizioso and it only took about 20 minutes to prepare!
So here goes!
200g (7oz) of a small pasta (I used pennette lisce)
1 small can of borlotti beans
1 or 2 links of Italian sausage
1 clove of garlic
Extra virgin olive oil
a handful of fresh parsely, washed and chopped
hot pepper, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
Take the sausage out of the skin, put in a large pot to sauté. As it cooks, break it up with a fork. Add the whole clove of garlic. Cook the sausage through and let it brown slightly. At this point, if you want, you can drain off the fat.
Add the drained and rinsed beans to the sausage and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Add the pasta. When it comes back to a boil, lower the heat to medium. Stir often, because it WILL stick! Add more water a little at a time, we are not looking for a soupy consistency but a thick and creamy one. This is why we use only just enough water and continue to stir. When it is almost cooked add the parsely and the hot pepper. Taste and salt and pepper to taste.
When the pasta is "al dente" turn off the heat and serve! Italian Soul Food! Buon appetito!

PSU faces big questions as camp opens
An overview of the Penn State football team as it gets ready to start preseason camp Monday.
By the numbers
1: Starter returning on the offensive line (LT Donovan Smith). This is, without a doubt, the biggest concern entering the season and the reason why the Lions could struggle to post a winning record even with a favorable schedule.
2: Weeks into camp that the coaching staff will have a good idea who will be starting at most spots.
3: Let's call this the myth about RB Zach Zwinak. It's how many fumbles he had last season, all coming in the first seven games, which was a problem. But he carried 115 times without a fumble in his final five games (23 per contest). Bill Belton, meanwhile, also had three fumbles last year – in his final four games – but people don't seem to hold that against him the way they do Zwinak.
9: Wins at Vanderbilt each of the past two seasons for new head coach James Franklin. Any coach who can win nine games at a doormat like Vandy should be considered very promising, and Franklin certainly is that.
14: Number of quarterback Christian Hackenberg, by far the most important player on the team and the reason why eight or nine wins is possible despite the suspect O-line. It will be fun to watch how much he's progressed from his strong freshman season.
26.2: Points allowed per game last year by PSU, a number that must drop significantly.
27: Days until the opener in Ireland against Central Florida.
72: Scholarship players on the team to start the season.
80: Scholarships for next season.
85: Scholarships for 2016, the full allotment allowed by the NCAA. Remember, had the scholarship sanctions not been reduced last year, PSU would be playing with 65 scholarships from 2014-17 and wouldn't be back up to 85 until at least 2019.
97: Catches by Allen Robinson last season, a school record and a huge void that will not be easily filled by any two or three players.
5 to look forward to
1. Franklin factor: We have no idea exactly what the new coach is going to do in so many respects, which makes for a lot of intrigue entering a season.
When Bill O'Brien was hired, it was easy to predict the style he was bringing because of his background with the New England Patriots. But has anybody really sat down and watched a ton of Vanderbilt game film to see what Franklin did there?
The answer to that is: Why bother?
Franklin didn't have a quarterback like Hackenberg at Vandy. He didn't have the caliber of all-around athletes that he's getting and will continue to bring to Penn State. And he was playing in the SEC, where the game is just different in a lot of ways.
Franklin is said to be more of a CEO who delegates to his assistants than an overly hands-on head coach. He's the energetic, passionate motivator on the sideline. But what will the offense actually look like? And the defense? And his strategy in various situations?
And, you know, can he actually coach?
We'll find out in just a few weeks.
2. Hack attack: He's a star in the making, no doubt, so what can we expect to see from Hackenberg?
He's not only a year older and wiser, he's also bigger and faster. He won't have his favorite target with Robinson gone to the NFL, but he will have a bunch of talented tight ends and young, speedy receivers.
Look for Hackenberg to get rid of the ball in a hurry, meaning short drops, quick outs, screens to running backs and heavy use of the tight ends. Also count on him throwing on the run a lot, something he did very well last season and should only be better at this year.
As good as he already is, we'll probably only get to see Hackenberg in a PSU uniform this year and next, then it will be off to the NFL. So enjoy his immense talents while you can, and hope he stays healthy behind that offensive line.
3. Terrific tight ends: Jesse James, Kyle Carter and Adam Breneman make up the best tight end trio in the country, plus there's the return of Brent Wilkerson from a back injury and the addition of impressive freshman Mike Gesicki.
It's what you call a plethora of riches.
Who will have the best season? James is getting all the preseason hype because of his freakish athletic ability and NFL potential. But don't forget about Carter, who had 36 catches two years ago but was never fully healthy last season.
4. Eastern rivals: OK, the word rival is up for debate since Penn State has dominated Maryland (35-1-1) and Rutgers (22-2) over the years. Still, the Big Ten's newest additions do give the Lions some Eastern competition, plus shorter trips for fans.
Rutgers isn't expected to be strong this year, but look out for that night game there in week three. Lots at stake there from a recruiting standpoint for both teams.
5. Let's go bowling: We'll find out probably in September if the NCAA will give Penn State back its bowl game for this year and next. The guess here is it's 50-50 at best for this season, and more like 80-20 next year.
5 to worry about
1. O-line concerns: It will be OK if the line is just mediocre or even a little below average. The Lions can still have a winning season if that's the case.
But if the line is really bad, which is a possibility, then all bets are off and there will be no way to estimate how the team will fare.
Protecting Hackenberg is the No. 1 priority, and everything Franklin does in that regard has to take into account the likelihood that the line – at least early on – will not be able to keep the quarterback upright very long.
2. Not the Linebacker U we're used to: It's a rarity, but linebacker is a big concern. Mike Hull is a quality player when healthy, but no other member of the unit has proven himself to be a consistently reliable linebacker.
3. Inexperience and depth: There are some talented youngsters on the roster, but many of them have never been counted on to contribute the way they will be asked to this season.
The biggest example is receiver Geno Lewis, who looks to be a good player in his own right but has the pressure of trying to fill Robinson's gigantic shoes.
From a depth standpoint, having only 72 players on scholarship figures to be a big issue as the season grinds on.
4. Ireland trip: It was set up as a reward by the previous coaching staff, but it's basically a big hassle for the new staff. Concerns include logistics problems with travel, jet lag issues, keeping everyone out of trouble in a foreign country and getting back to the normal schedule after the trip.
That's not even taking into account the health of the team. With such an unusual trip, and playing a decent opponent, the last thing the Lions can afford is to get anyone injured in Ireland.
5. Bottoming out: This could be the worst season from the sanctions fallout.
The Lions were able to go 8-4 and 7-5 the past two years primarily because there were still good players left over from before the sanctions and they were coached well.
Franklin appears to be a good coach, but this team is not as talented or as deep as the past two years because of the scholarship reductions. Then again, it does have an excellent quarterback, which will help solve some of the issues.
Still, even with a favorable schedule, it's hard to see this team having as good of a year as the 2013 squad did. Remember, the Lions needed a huge upset in the finale at Wisconsin to avoid a 6-6 record.
It will be tough to match that 7-5 mark this fall.
Prediction: 6-6

I choose "Othello," Act 111 Scene 111, Lines 121-132. I choose the character Othello.
What I learned about the impact of tone was that you have to paste it right and project your voice at the right moments. What I learned about volume was that it is certain words that you have to raise your voice and lower your voice to.
In my rehearsal and in my oral performance I learned that when you are reading something it has to sound like you are not reading it off the paper. It has to sound like you know it by heart and that it has been memorized.
What I learned was that Othello can show that he has a lot of different characters in one. Also he portray many traits all in one person. One last thing I learned was that when Othello is talking you can tell weather it is a good or bad emotion.Tags: freemont-high-schoolLRNGShakespeare

So the tradition for the day before the start of Lent is called Pancake day. New Orleans has Mardi Gras, Rio De Janeiro has Carival, here they eat pancakes. Instead of trying to get all the sin out before starting Lent the tradition here is to get rid of all the food that can't be eaten during Lent and would spoil. (Apparently that just magically just happens to be the ingredients for pancakes.)
Now British pancakes are what I think of as a crepe. We had a gathering in the village hall and a few people including me had a try at flipping them in the pan. Sweet and savory toppings were presented (lots of different kinds of chocolate sprinkles, fruit, golden syrup - basically corn syrup but made from sugar, lemon juice, sugar, cheese, and ham) Of course by the end of the night people were mixing the ham and chocolate on their pancakes.

If you're getting ready to install new gutters on your home and you're thinking about adding leaf guards, preparation is key to getting the best performance from them. In fact, there are a few common problems that can occur with leaf guard installation that may lead to more serious issues. Here's a look at what you need to know about optimizing your gutter and leaf guard installation to protect your home.
Preventing Ice Buildup
When you have leaf guards on your gutters, one of the things that you will risk is the accumulation of icicles. This can lead to ice dams if not addressed in a timely manner. Ice dams usually form as a result of poor ventilation in the attic, so make sure that you have the ventilation spaces checked before you install your gutters.
In addition, talk with the gutter installation contractor about ensuring that your gutters and the leaf guards are installed so that they are level with the roof's pitch. This helps to encourage water runoff, which minimizes the potential for freezing and ice accumulation. You'll also want to make sure that you are proactive about clearing snow from your roof. A quality snow rake will help you do this, that way you minimize the melting under the snow, which will reduce the risk of any freezing.
Ensuring Proper Water Flow
If your roof has any visible valleys, those are areas where rainwater will concentrate. This happens because water naturally flows to the lowest possible point. This can often lead to water flowing faster from those channels than from anywhere else on the roof. Once it hits your gutter, the water from those valleys can not only be flowing quickly but can also be greater in volume than the rest of the water runoff. This may cause it to overshoot the gutter edge, particularly when you have a leaf guard on the surface.
You can minimize this problem by working with the installer to place a diverter and a specialty mesh cover in those areas. This will help to ensure that the water can still flow properly so that you don't have overflow problems. Just keep in mind that the mesh will still need to be small enough to prevent debris from falling into the gutters.
Reducing The Risk Of Clogging
While leaf guards will prevent your gutters from becoming filled with leaves and debris, they aren't always completely free of clog risks. The problem is that when leaves settle on top of the guard, any rain that falls will make them wet and soggy, making them stick. This blocks the mesh, preventing water from flowing into the gutters as it should.
The best way to avoid this is to ensure that your leaf guards and gutters are installed with the pitch of your roof or are angled downward toward the ground slightly even if your roof isn't pitched. This encourages dry leaves and debris to slide off the mesh surface so they don't end up becoming wet, sticky messes in the rain.

ICDP starts in Nicaragua
ICDP and INPRHU (Instituto de Promocion Humana) established cooperation with a shared vision for ICDP expansion in the municipality of Ocotal, Nicaragua.
For more information about INPRHU follow this link: http://www.icdp.info/icdp-in-ocotal
Aura Estela Mendoza, from INPRHU, invited members of her organization and also several other organizations in Ocotal to participate in the ICDP training with the hope of reaching a large number of families and children at risk with the ICDP programme in the future.
The first workshop was held on the premises of the Red Cross, during the second week in November 2016, and it was conducted by Nicoletta Armstrong, who was accompanied by Monica Andersson. A group of 30 people attended, including INPRHU educators, social workers and teachers, as well as a few young volunteers. The workshop was very well received. The group enriched all discussions around the ICDP themes with a wealth of personal experience. The training will continue in 2017.
Very strong interest in ICDP was expressed by the Ministry of Education (MINED). They plan to spread ICDP through the education network - ICDP was told that there are 18 schools and 27 preschools with the potential of receiving the ICDP training.

First of all, tourists have to wonder what they want to see and experience in Sapa. A discovery of the multicolored culture around the city of fog or a sunny hike on the well-known mountains? Golden rice terraces or snow covered Sapa?
We all know the poor condition of the roads in this mountainous region that easily become a disaster after heavy rains. Then, for all lovers of hiking, the warm but comfortable climate and the sunny day at the end of March seem the perfect time to make a trip. Unfortunately, you can not take a photo of green but brown rice fields full of water while waiting for planting.
Although you could not contemplate the magnificent view of the rice terraces, but April and May is the best time to admire a Sapa decorated by the beautiful shades of pink species of plum blossom flowers and cherry trees. Do not get lost in such a paradise of flowers and take the most beautiful pictures. In addition, tourists who wish to have a complete discovery around the city will be welcomed by the pleasant temperature all day long.
Travelers coming to Sapa in June will be immersed in the cool green rice fields. In addition, you can see the agricultural activities of the people of the ethnic groups. By chance, an interesting conversation with the smiling farmers definitely looks like a beautiful memory in your journey. In addition, for someone who is waiting for a hike, the rainy season and the heat during the day do not allow you to easily have an easy trek.
From July to August, it is not so humid but always hot. Do not forget to try some homestay programs that will leave you with the most incredible memories of the mountain region. Above all, it's a good chance to learn local crafts or enjoy delicious specialties … The more you discover, the more you love the unique culture of the various ethnicities in this remote city.
September, finally came the best time to admire one of the most beautiful terraced rice fields to visit in the world. Do not forget to bring your camera because you never want to miss the irresistible charm of huge rice fields. From a high angle, people will be impressed by the natural palette of all shades of green and yellow rice. And another thing to note, this month is also the peak season in Sapa, so the city and the mountains are always packed with people.
From December to January, Sapa will be covered by the perfect white of snow. At this time, nature and mountains offer views that can be described as "breathtaking" shows. But, think of the snow, it is a bit difficult to walk outdoors.
Sapa continues to cool down throughout the year, so you cannot experience enough the ultimate charms of this mountainous city with just one visit. Come back to Sapa to check out other shades of beauty of this land!

I'm feeling desperate now, why can't I just except, say alhamdulilah and move on, however could the grass be greener on the other side? could there be a better life for me?
Again, its this want and need that's ruling my life.
I know I have too wake up and smell the coffee, I need a couple of good slaps on the face and someone to tell me to except the great things that god has given me, but to people I look happy, my life looks great and nothings wrong.
I wish that content feeling I had two days ago comes back, its such a weight off my shoulders. Whenever I'm feeling the way I feel today I try to remember those good days but all I seem to come up with is negative thoughts.
Things I'm grateful for:
- My Husband - who's easy going and lets me be who I want to be.
- My children - every day is an exciting step up to their world - my heart skips a beat every time they do something new.
- My parents, their unconditional love for us - and the sacrifices they made for us.
- My brothers and sisters- who are always there.
- My religion - keeps me alive.
- My Job - Gets me out of the house.
Alhamdulilah yarab.
I feel better now, thank you for listening.

I've been thinking of doing this for a while & thought I should do it now, so I did. When I signed up for Etsy in April I choose the user name "Jenni4" because it sounds like "Jennifer" (Jenni-fer) & that's how I picked it. I HATE the name Jenny & that is what I'm always getting called. I thought that would *just* be my user ID and my shop & shop's URL would be something different, like ebay. Of course I didn't read everything & it does say as clear as day during registration that it will be your shop's name & URL, duh! Since I renamed my shop & got a new domain, I decided to open a new etsy shop http://www.jtstitches.etsy.com/ & I will eventually fade out http://www.jenni4.etsy.com/. I want everything to be the same name. Since my sold & feedback numbers are low anyway I'm not really loosing much.
I will let everything at the Jenni4 shop end on its own . I will relist & list all new stuff at the new Jtstitches shop. It would make life so much easier if Etsy would just let us change our user name. But hey, I'm very happy with Etsy so I will deal with the *little* unimportant things.
If you have hearted my Jenni4 shop, I would love for you to heart me at the JTstitches shop. If you have any suggestions for me to make this switch smooth & successful I would appreciate that.
GET 10% OFF- If you see something you like at http://www.jenni4.etsy.com/, let me know before you buy it & I will list it at my new shop http://www.jtstitches.etsy.com/ with 10% off. I need to get my reputation up at my new shop ;)
I wish I could give a better discount but almost all my stuff isn't made yet & will be made after payment.
Have a great weekend!

An integrated investigation based on field surveys and GIS modeling is being carried out in the Rienz basin (630 km2, Eastern Italian Alps), to predict large wood (LW) recruitment and transport during large flood events. Mobility and transport distance of LW elements of different size is being monitored through repeated surveys of tagged logs in different reaches of the main Rienz River and in one of its tributaries, the Brunst Creek (11.3 km2). Preliminary results show both mobility and displacement length seem to be highly influence by channel morphology characteristics rather than by hydraulic variables. Potential LW deriving from unstable slopes connected to the channel network is predicted using the SHALSTAB model coupled to a GIS-based connectivity index. Connected LW volumes from the slopes, summed to LW erodible within the river corridors, are then routed through the stream network applying simple Boolean transport conditions.

Mental toughness in baseball and softball can be developed with a positive mental attitude, creating positive habits, and minimizing your minds negative talk and beliefs. Mental toughness can be defined as having the psychological edge to better cope with demands and challenges you face as an athlete. Being more determined, focused, and resilient, will lead to consistent results under pressure.
Start With a Positive Attitude
A positive attitude and believing that you will do well is crucial to achieving your athletic goals. One simple method to help focus your energy into positive thinking is to break down your strengths and weaknesses. By breaking down your skills, it will allow you to not only recognize areas that need improvement, but more importantly, allow you to focus on your greatest skills with positive energy. Recognizing your weaknesses and focusing on them with optimism will lead to continued improvement. These traits will give you the edge needed to excel beyond your opponents. Find confidence by recognizing your abilities, and using them to your advantage on the field. Once you've found confidence, use this as motivation to start plowing towards your goals. A positive attitude will help you remain focused when challenges arise.
Create Reassuring Habits
Staying focused starts with good habits. Develop valuable routines each day when you're at the ballpark. Whether you are in practice, preparing before a game, or competing, stick to a good schedule that helps boost your mental game. During practice, become a student of the game. Learn and perfect the drills your team works on. If you can execute drills in practice with confidence, this assurance will carry onto the field. Before competition, visualize your success. Even the night before a game, visualize hitting a homerun or striking out a player. Listen to music, tell stories, play games, and do what ever it takes to lift your spirits just before competing. This will make it easier to have confidence in your abilities. During the game, stay poised and confident in your abilities. Remembering good at-bats you've had or solid plays you've made in the field can help keep your mind focused and composed.
Minimize Negative Talk
Negative self-talk can be devastating to an athlete and should be minimized. During practice and in game situations ball players often let doubt creep into their mind. Start by recognizing these thoughts and turning them around. For example, a ball player might think to himself or herself – "there's no way I can hit this pitchers change-up." Instead tell yourself – "look for the fastball, adjust to the change-up, square-up and hit a solid line drive."
Mental toughness and determination can take a ball player much farther than pure talent. Ballplayers like Greg Maddux, Dustin Pedroia, David Eckstein and many others have achieved greatness with less than superior talent. They accomplished this by using the skills they were given. They overcame challenges and failures in their path to greatness. What challenges are you facing? What obstacles are in you way? What are you going to do about it?
This game is great...

At least $154.4 million in fuel stolen from either the U.S. military or the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF), a U.S. watchdog has said in a released review of the management and oversight of fuel in Afghanistan.
According to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) report, due to the amount of fuel needed for military operations, along with the highly transferable nature of this commodity, fuel theft has become a lucrative business in Afghanistan, with at least $154.4 million in fuel stolen from either the U.S. military or the ANDSF.
"However, because U.S. officials usually detected that the fuel was being stolen only long after the theft began, it is likely that even more fuel has been stolen in Afghanistan," the report read.
The SIGAR review noted that according to Defense Logistics Agency–Energy (DLA-E), the agency supplied more than 2.8 billion gallons of fuel to support U.S. military operations in Afghanistan at a cost of more than $13 billion from 2008 through 2016 fiscal years.
From 2010 through 2018 fiscal years, U.S. the Department of Defense (DOD) planned to spend $3.2 billion to supply fuel for the ANDSF.
"CSTC-A (The Combined Security Transition Command–Afghanistan) are supplying fuel to every corner of the country based on demands," said the Afghan Defense Ministry Deputy Spokesman Mohammad Radmanish. "We are seriously engaged in the fight against corruption and there is no corruption."
The review said that as of March 2017, DOD estimated that the ANDSF would require approximately 108 million gallons of fuel annually.
According to the SIGAR review, CSTC-A estimates supplying fuel to the ANDSF for a 5-year period may cost nearly $2 billion.
This comes as SIGAR has conducted 70 investigations related to fuel theft in Afghanistan, which resulted in almost $32 million USD in fines, restitutions, and forfeitures, and $28.5 million USD in recoveries and savings.
In addition, the SIGAR investigations have led to 40 convictions that included sentences totaling more than 115 years in prison and 53 years of probation. According to SIGAR the investigations also resulted in authorities barring 176 individuals from military installations.

Alka, The First
Stories go back for hundreds of generations about Alka, the Shimmerwind. Alka is said to have been the first being of this land, a land of barren desert plains. Alka knew of life, and knew how to harness the power to give life and let grow. Over time the once flat, barren sands began to shift and come alive. The land grew hills and valleys from which rivers sprung and created lush forest and grasslands, and from those lands sprouted individual life. An ecosystem was born, overseen by Alka's graceful watch. Beasts began to wander the lands, feeding from the vegetation and in return letting the vegetation feed from them. Over time, the land itself began to grow out of control. The beasts that roamed the now fertile landscape could not keep up with the ever growing vegetation. Alka saw the rampant growth and knew something needed to be done before the land devoured itself out of existence. Dividing the land in two equal halves, a vast ridge of mountains were created in hopes to stunt the growth of the now arrogant landscape. These mountains harness no known life and are said to calm the feral land beyond with their shadows and rocky soil.
"Prophecy states that one day the impassable mountains may open and the careful balance that Alka set there could break." - MantisAlka knew that the presence of these mountains alone would not be enough to calm the land of its chaos. Thus we are here; we aid in the control. Over the centuries, our people have cultivated the lands, almost as if dividing it into regions of harmonious unions. We have learned the ways of harnessing the lands and controlling them within our being. Alka taught us appropriate ways to harness this flow of energy and control it. Alka watches over us still, seeing as the second sun, but has left people in control of our land.

The magic of Sholay
Recognise these TV grabs? Hmm, well, in the midst of Madras Week and the Beijing Olympics (was just watching Usain Bolt strike the second time – and oh boy what a 200m race did he run!), I found time to watch Sholay one night. And sat through the film for what must have been the umpteenth time. The dialogues resonated as sharply as ever, dialogues that I had come to learn by heart when I was in school in Calcutta.
The magic of Sholay never fails to charm you, does it? Each of the main characters – Thakur Saheb, Veeru, Jai, Basanti, Choti Bahu, the redoubtable Gabbar Singh and even the others – remains as firmly etched in your mind as ever. And somehow the story never turns stale. Call it the magic of Ramesh Sippy or what you will, but there can never really be another Sholay – not in terms of a repeat but in terms of another movie that can enthrall you decades after it is released.
And no scene in any film quite captivates me and brings goose pimples as that magnificent opening scene when bandits astride horses attack the moving train… And whenever I watch that scene, I wish had a 70mm film screen at home!

Why It's Great To Live In The Midwest
Life in the Midwest is appreciated. It's not the hip West Coast or the historic South, but it is America's Heartland and the home of open skies, rows of corn, and more lakes than you can wrap your head around. What exactly makes the Midwest the place to be?
Still need some convincing? Here are some reasons that the Midwest is just simply the best:
- Midwesterners are friendly. (A lot of people will say they're THE friendliest people!)
Everyone in the Midwest is genuinely interested in you. They take the time to get to know you and your story. It's actually scientifically proven. The University of Cambridge did a survey of 1.6 million Americans via Facebook and surveys to prove that Midwesterners are the best.
- Everything in the Midwest is so cheap!
The Midwest is extremely affordable for families and young professionals. There are a lot of mid-size cities you can plant yourself in, but if the metro isn't your thing, then there are plenty of smaller communities.
- Our Midwestern air sparkles! Not really, but it should.
Yes, there is still pollution here, but the Midwest does have some of the best air quality in the U.S. This part of the region seems pretty satisfied with the quality of air.
- Midwesterners are BIG on family values.
According to 2008 Pew survey and analysis of the U.S. census, the data suggested that about half of all adult Midwesterner residents have spent their entire lives in their hometowns. This is because most of their relatives aren't more than an hour away.
- The Midwest is home to the very best of higher education. (Well, really just education in general.)
The Midwest has a very impressive list of colleges and universities, along with great primary and secondary educations.
- The Midwest has easy access to a laundry list of big cities.
Sure, New York and California are great, but you don't need to go there to experience big city living. If you live in the Midwest, you can be in a number of big cities in just a matter of hours such as Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Denver, etc.
- The Midwest is all about the sports.
Living in the Midwest gives you more than a handful of college and professional teams to support and Midwesterners aren't shy about their favorites. Not to mention, we take tailgating very seriously.
Have we ever mentioned that Homestead Homes builds in the Midwest? Well, we do! We are currently building in Colorado, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. If you are looking to build in any of these states, contact us at Homestead Homes and our experts would be more than happy to help you out!

Because we can all do with some money tips from time to time...
Can we collectively agree that the years spent at varsity were probably the best years of our lives? Two-month long holidays, partying from dusk till dawn, spending ridiculous amounts on fashion fads… all the while sponging off our parents. The closest many of us got to experiencing real world money issues was when we'd exhausted our "pocket money".
Fast forward some adult years later, and even dinner evenings out once a month are debatable. Who can even afford those with a savings account screaming "Save Me"?
We took to the 24.com floor to find out what our staff members wish they'd known before they started earning a salary. In the process we learnt some valuable career and money management lessons.
1. "I wish I had known money would be as important as it is."
What we took away:
Research the earning potential of the career you're going into. It's important that you have a clear understanding of the kind of salary you can expect from a career. If not, you might find yourself pursuing a position that will not be able to take care of your basic financial needs.
2. "Don't glamourize the career and only look at the $ signs. Know all there is to know about the career you're going into and don't let people decide for you."
What we took away:
It's fantastic that you can crack number codes with your eyes closed and your potential starting salary will be nothing less than 6-figures. But if you aren't exactly known for your commitment, have you given a thought to the many lunch breaks you'll probably have to spend at your desk to meet deadlines?
3. "Go into a career that actually has money."
What we took away:
Money isn't everything but it definitely is an important factor. After some experience as an administrator, this particular staff member came to the realization that if he'd pursued a career in say an oil refinery, he'd be earning much more money.
Read: This is why you'll never earn more money
4. "When you start working you work even harder and the money doesn't come immediately."
What we took away:
You won't earn the big bucks from the get-go. Unless you're a trust fund baby, the flashy car, the fancy apartment overlooking the ocean and the schmancy restaurants are all a myth when starting out.
5. "You don't need everything, so don't buy everything."
What we took away:
… the car, apartment and constant dinner outs… You don't need them all in one go anyway. So don't spend money on things you don't need.
Read: 7 things you need to stop wasting money on
6. "As soon as you start getting a regular income, start saving a portion of it."
What we took away:
Save now!
Need we say more?
7. "Don't allow yourself to be exploited; working for a minimum salary just because you're young."
What we took away:
Scoring an offer because you're young and inexperienced shouldn't determine your worth. Before accepting a new position you need to find out as much as you can about the company, its future prospects and the kind of environment you're going into – and if these factors will work for you. Also think about other offers that might come your way.
In the comments box below, tell us what money lessons you wish you'd known before you started your career.

Israel's population and area are roughly equal to the population and area of Alabama. Try to imagine what would happen if there were a fatal terrorist attack every day in Alabama or Mississippi or Maine or New Hampshire or Oregon.
The terrorist slaughter still goes on. So why would anyone would think that peace is at hand for Israel?
(Since something is always happening in the Middle East, immediately below this message are three news tickers which will let you know what's happening in that part of the world today. To read any story on the following news tickers, click on the headline.)
Below is a map of Israel. Notice that the West Bank is a huge area right in the middle of Israel. The occupied Gaza Strip in the south-west and the occupied Golan Heights in the north-east are smaller areas but are important strategically to Israel's enemies.

Mister O's Personal Opinion
At the top of this page is a map of Israel. A basic familiarity with the geography of the area is helpful; however, understanding the situation is not so easy because the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis is crazy! Rather than settle their differences and live in peace, the two sides continue to risk complete destruction and the rest of the world puzzles over why the violence continues.
In the area we today know as Israel the crazy enmity between Arab and Jew has been simmering for several thousand years. And that simmering pot has boiled over so many times in the past that it is no surprise to learn that Israeli troops and tanks are on the move again, that suicide bombers are blowing themselves up on Israeli buses and in Tel Aviv nightclubs, that American newspapers and magazines are chock full of stories about Arafat, Sharon, and the latest suicide bombing, and that American diplomats are once again trying to promote peace in the area by trying to stop the current fighting and trying to force the two sides to develop a long-range peace plan. Well, good luck to the diplomats! We hope they are successful, but we also know there are many reasons why no plan for peace is likely to end that conflict. Even as I was typing this on May 1, 2002, a gun battle between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian gunmen holed up in the Church of the Nativity had left that famous site in Bethlehem in flames, and when I was editing this site on May 8, 2002, the news was all about a suicide bomber who killed himself and 15 Israelis. Indeed, since the current wave of violence began in 2000, at least 1400 Palestinians and at least 700 Israelis have died as a direct result of all the terrorism and military action.
Yes, there are many reasons why it very nearly impossible to solve the problem of Israeli/Palestinian violence, but in these remarks I will concentrate on the only most important ones. Some of these reasons are religious; some of the reasons are historical; some of the reasons have to do with the personal attitudes of such leaders as Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat; and some of the reasons have to do with future issues that will cause conflict between the two sides. The details of the struggle are enormously bewildering, but in the following paragraphs I will try to give you enough information to understand what is going on in the area and to understand why we should not be too quick to believe that there will ever be peace in that part of the world. As Christians we believe that all problems can be resolved by God, and it may be that we will have to trust God on this one; for as you will see below, even though individual Palestinians and Israelis object to the constant bloodshed and destruction, there are so many other obstacles to a human solution to this conflict that it is very close to impossible to see how a lasting peace can ever come to that region of the world.
So let's try to shed a little light on some of those reasons why bringing peace to that part of the world is apparently impossible. . .at least, nobody has yet succeeded over the past several thousand years and it seems unlikely that anyone will succeed in the near future. . .unless, of course, there is a Divine intervention. (Back to Text Guide)
To begin with some religious issues, it is important to understand that Palestinian Arabs and Israelis are like two rival heirs to Abraham's estate. That is, both sides claim to be descended from Abraham; and both sides believe they themselves are the "true" and "legal" descendants of Abraham. The Arabs are descended from Abraham through his first son, Ishmael the traditional figure alleged to have founded the Arab ethnic group. According to the Arab view of things, Abraham had officially named his first-born son Ishmael as heir to his estate. Therefore, the land that God promised to Abraham should have been inherited by Ishmael and his descendants. But the Jewish interpretation is quite different. Because the first-born son Ishmael was the son of a maidservant to whom Abraham was not married, the Jews view Abraham's second son Isaac as the legitimate heir to the promised land. In other words, the Jews feel that the true son of the true marriage of Abraham and Sara has the right to inherit over the older boy even though the older boy was legally recognized as Abraham's heir. (If you want review these events as related in the Old Testament, please click here, and use "Abraham" as your search keyword. You will need to use your "back" button to return to this page.) As a legal problem, it's impossible for either side to see any justice on the other side, and attempts to resolve differences on this basis end up in angry arguments just as often happens when siblings fall to arguing over matters of inheritance..
If you would like to print the text of this page, click here to obtain non-graphics version.
Even if such legal wrangling over ancient Biblical laws of inheritance does not carry much weight in the modern world, the religious differences between the two sides complicate matters in very practical ways. The mostly Islamic Arabs claim some of the same holy places as the mostly Jewish Israelis. Here's an example: in 2000, Ariel Sharon visited the site of the original Temple at Jerusalem -- a very holy place to the Jews and for different reasons a very holy place to the Moslems. Seeing their dedicated enemy Ariel Sharon at such a sensitive place inflamed the Palestinians. Rioting broke out among the Arabs in the neighborhood because that same site is also considered to be the spot where Mohammed ascended into Heaven at the end of his life. Dozens were seriously injured in the rioting. In other words, as long as Jews take their religious heritage seriously and as long as Moslems take their religious heritage seriously. . . well, the conclusion is obvious. Religious differences that come from claiming the same holy places are part of the reason why there is not much hope of solving the Israeli-Palestinian problem.
Also under the heading of religious reasons is the fact that there has always been some degree of anti-Semitism in the world at large; and that means that no matter what the Israeli Jews suffer and no matter how justified their reactions to attacks on them, they will still be seen by anti-Semitic people as the "bad guys." There is also anti-Islamic prejudice in the world at large. Anti-Islamic people will always see the Muslim Palestinians as the "bad guys." The result is that both sides at one time or another are demonized by many people in the world at large. As a Syrian-American who grew up near the Golan Heights told me recently, "Both the Palestinians and the Israelis have dipped their arms up to the elbows in the blood of innocents. It is really time for peace, not the deadly violence preached by the politicians, the generals, and the clergy on both sides." As you can see, it is psychologically easier for the prejudiced people of the world to say "a plague on both your houses" than it is to take meaningful steps toward resolving the problems of that chaotic part of the world. (Back to Site Guide)
There are also historical reasons why it appears unlikely that a long-term peaceful solution can be found. But we obviously cannot summarize the entire story, so quite arbitrarily I have decided to begin the story about the time that World War One ended. By then there were Jews scattered all over the world who held Zionist beliefs, that is, they believed that Palestine should be a Jewish state. A tiny trickle of these Zionists found their way to Palestine and began to agitate for an independent Jewish nation. Naturally their Arab neighbors were uncomfortable with these new arrivals.
As World War One ended, England found itself responsible for administering the Palestinian territory. It was called the Palestinian Mandate, but that area is roughly the same area that we know as Israel today. About 80 percent of the population of Palestine around 1920 were the Arabs who called themselves Palestinians; somewhat less than 20 percent of the people were Jews. Although they hated each other and had frequent violent clashes, both the Palestinians and the Jews wanted the British to leave..
But the British rulers did not want the population to be unbalanced. That only made it more tempting for Arabs to try to attack the Jewish minority. So around 1920, a British politician named Lord Balfour published a declaration inviting Jews from all over the world to come to Palestine and establish a homeland there. At first, not many Jews took advantage of this invitation; only the most extreme Zionists continued to trickle into the country. European and American Jews were living comfortable life styles in their adopted countries and so had little incentive to immigrate to a harsh land like Palestine. The Jews who wanted to come to Palestine were mostly small settlements of Jews scattered about the Islamic world in such places as Jordan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and so forth. But these Jews from the Arab countries were not allowed to leave. Arab leaders did not want a large number of Jews congregating in Palestine. The Arab leaders believed quite correctly that the more the Jewish population grew, the more trouble there would be for Palestinian Arabs who themselves wanted to possess the whole nation of Palestine.
Nevertheless, by one means or another, a steady stream of Jews came into Palestine (especially after World War Two when there were thousands of Jewish refugees from Europe seeking a new life). By 1947 the Jewish population had come to be about 40 percent of Palestine. It was inevitable that the two rival groups inside Palestine would continue to feel mutually threatened, to harden their hearts against one another, to attack each other verbally, to build up secret supplies of small arms and ammunition, and to conduct terrorist attacks on their rivals. Only the presence of the British in Palestine prevented a full-scale civil war between these two groups..
But the British did leave after World War Two. And now thousands of Jews began to make their way into Palestine as the new United Nations tried to decide what to do with Palestine. In 1947 fighting broke out between the two factions, and the UN finally decided in 1948 to partition Palestine into two states -- a Palestinian Arab area on the west bank of the Jordan river and a little strip of land along the southern Mediterranean coast were designated as Palestinian territory, and the rest of Palestine was designated as Jewish territory. (See map above.) Obviously neither the Jews nor the Palestinians were satisfied with receiving only part of Palestine as a place to establish their new nations. (By the way, it is a common misunderstanding that all of Palestine was given to the Jews by the UN.) (Back to Site Guide)
So we have reviewed some religious reasons and some historical reasons why the conflict is so hard to resolve. But equally important is the intense personal hatred that exists between the leaders of the two factions. Ariel Sharon, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Arafat, the head of the Palestinians, have been personal, mortal enemies for over 50 years. Now in their early 70's, they have been fighting each other since they were both teen-agers back in the late 1940's. And, while it is tempting to believe that the removal of one or both of these two old guys might be a step towards peace, the fact remains that there are so many other reasons for strife between the two sides that there is almost sure to be continued trouble no matter who leads either side.
Sharon has been responsible for a number of assassination attempts against Arafat, and Arafat has been responsible for a number of assassination attempts on Sharon. Each man thinks the other is a terrorist murderer of children and other innocent civilians. Arafat, for example, blames Sharon for the massacre of about 600 Palestinians in Lebanon during the early 1980's, and Arafat has not forgotten that Sharon was the commander of Unit 101 during the 1950's. Unit 101 was an Israeli secret commando group that conducted terrorist type raids in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank during the early years of the new Israeli state. Obviously Sharon has the same low opinion of Arafat. Sharon knows Arafat as the founder of Al-Fatah, one of the most dangerous Palestinian terrorist groups, and as the head of the PLO, the umbrella under which several terrorist groups have collected. The chances of these two men having a meaningful discussion about peace is practically non-existent. (Back to Site Guide)
Past and present religious and historical differences as well as the Sharon-Arafat clash of purposes and wills are all factors in why the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues, but there are even other problems that lie in the future. One problem in this region of the world is fresh water for both agriculture and for human consumption. As the population of the area increases over the next few decades, water may become more valuable than oil, and the ability to control the fresh water supply may turn out to be a more effective weapon in this ongoing struggle than atomic bombs. Another problem that lies ahead is that outside forces have always exploited or meddled in the troubles in Palestine for their own purposes. Osama Bin Laden, for example, claims that he acts in sympathy with and on the behalf of his Palestinian brothers while in actual fact he and most other Arab leaders have never tried to help the Palestinians in meaningful ways. Or, to look at another example, consider that the U.S. frequently applies pressure on Israel to make concessions to the Palestinians in order to scale down the violence. (This seems very strange to the Israelis who have seen our own war against terrorism and who think that they are fighting the same kind of war against terrorism.) At various points Russia, England, and France have all also tried to manipulate the situation. (Don't forget that it was France who helped Israel develop the technology that led to Israel developing atomic weapons.) Most recently (May 6, 2002), the U.S. has insisted that Israel accept Yasser Arafat as the person with whom they must negotiate. Just as outsiders have gummed up the works in the past, it seems unavoidable that outsiders will continue to interfere in ways that are not always helpful. Also we can count on Israeli distrust of the Arabs to continue on indefinitely because of the Arab tradition of verbal deception when negotiating. Indeed, Arabs themselves tell stories about the advantages and disadvantages that grow out of this cultural trait. (See "The Imaginary Oranges" below.) So, as crazy as it is for these people to continue to slaughter one another, it seems they will continue to do so even though they risk destruction along with their enemies. As I said earlier, perhaps the only hope we have for solving this conflict is direct Divine intervention. (Back to Site Guide)
I realize that these remarks are extremely pessimistic. So I have turned my attention to trying to see a reason for hope. Frankly, I don't think that I can do any better than to merely list the pre-conditions that might lead to a hopeful outcome in the conflict.
First, I think, we need to pray for some sort of Divine intervention. After all, human attempts have been failing miserably for centuries. But, according to the old idea that God helps those who help themselves, here are some steps that I believe would help matters greatly:
Arafat must be replaced by a leader who is committed to educating the Palestinian people. There are no more than 30 percent of the Palestinians who are even literate. I know that my faith in education is a result of 40 years spent as a teacher, but I am convinced that an educated Palestinian populace would be far less likely to accept martyrdom as a desirable goal in life. Fewer illiterates would mean fewer suicide bombers, fewer people who could be manipulated by the Arafats of the world, fewer people who are caught up by the Arab tendency to use verbal deception as a bargaining technique, and more people who are able to see that there are two sides to the conflict.
Next, the Israelis must abandon the practice of electing former generals as prime minister. Generals generally (forgive the pun!) believe that intractable problems can be solved by breaking things and killing people. But, as we can see, that condition is difficult to achieve because nearly every adult Israeli is a military veteran and nearly every major political figure is proud of having served as a high-ranking military officer.
Somehow the Palestinians must be brought into the 21st Century. Everyone in that part of the world needs to be involved in "making the desert bloom." Ideally, what I would like to see is Palestinians being trained as engineers and scientists and to see those new technical people working on problems like improving the water supply and building an economic infrastructure for the West Bank and Gaza.
And are there any signs that such preconditions may may be met? Well, there is a growing "peacenik" movement in Israel, and there are certain to be new leaders of the factions soon. Sharon and Arafat are old men. Also there is a growing awareness that the water supply problem needs serious attention since the principal source of fresh water for human consumption is the Sea of Gallilee, a body of water is rapidly approaching a critical degree of pollution.
In any event, both sides must abandon the notion that there can never be a Palestinian and an Israeli state living side by side. No matter what they might prefer, neither side will ever see the other completely disappear. They are stuck with one another, and that means they must learn to live with one another's differing cultures and religions. There is no feasible solution to the territorial problem that will put enough distance between the two factions to make it possible for them to continue to hate one another. No matter what happens, Palestinians and Israelis will be living in close proximity to one another. And, as much as some of us on the outside would like it, there is no realistic chance that any outside power will try to nuke either or both of the factions out of existence.And then there is this one last source of hope. Remember the tale of the scorpion and the crocodile? Its moral is that common sense and logic have nothing to do with how things work in the Middle East. Well, even though all the evidence, all the common sense, and all the logic may point against a hopeful solution to this conflict, it is still the Middle East where no one can ever confidently predict what might happen tomorrow.(Back to Text Guide)

- changed status to open
That's correct. How would you change it?
The current behavior is to have only handler per model. A second handler defined for the same model will cause the first one to emit the same data as the second one.
I briefly looked at the code and it seems that there's a dict association model -> handler (through typemapper).
That's correct. How would you change it?
I would add another level to the typemapper which should discriminate between different handlers for the same model. And the idea is to link the resource/emitter to the typemapper.
new_typemapper = {
'default': default_typemapper,
'area1': area1_typemapper,
'area2': area2_typemapper
Then when you define the handlers use the 'tags' to toss the handler into the right area(s):
class CommonHandler(BaseHandler):
class Area1Handler(BaseHandler):
class Area2Handler(BaseHandler):
The resource should call out the area so that it'll be able to recreate the correct typemapper by concatenating the specific area and the default one. In this case Area1Handler's emitter would 'see' only its neighbours and all in the default area.
res1 = Resource(handler=Area1Handler, authentication=session_auth, area='area1')
res2 = Resource(handler=Area2Handler, authentication=session_auth, area='area2')
For the backwards compatibility if the Handler doesn't define any tags then it will go by default in the default area, and similarily if the Resource doesn't specify any area it will use the default typemapper. Also if two or more handlers for the same model go into the same area, piston should display a big warning or maybe disallow this.
I'm not sure how this will fit into the current piston's design, you should know better. So what do you think?
That would work, but I'm not too sure about the "tags" and "areas".
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
This is meant to be a quick rework of the existing functionality compatible with previous versions. The tagging idea was the easiest one that came in my mind.
Do you or anyone else have better ideas ? I'd be glad to see them :)
I just found and alternative package that offers REST API for Django models: http://github.com/toastdriven/django-tastypie
It also supports multiple resources per model and *many* more!
BTW, I've found another alternative which makes things much easier and cleaner.
So here it is:
This way piston can serve a read-only interface to some complex joined queries of the same base model. I use it to as a JSON provider for a UI grid control.
ugh this is a nasty limitation
This limitation needs documenting heavily big red letters and it needs to raise an exception when you try to use the same model twice.
I just waisted a few days of my life tracking this down.
It appears you can hack you way around it by creating a proxy class for each handler, but I haven't tested this extensively:
class _MyModelProxy(MyModel): pass
We have a large project which makes extensive use of piston and we have the need to use several handlers for various models.
As one person above has mentioned, it is possible to create a proxy model which will then allow you to specify it as the handler model.
It certainly doesn't allow for pretty code, but it is a means to get around the current limitation.
Ideally, it would be great to see a patch which lets piston support this out of the box.
I've actaully patched Piston to accomodate this limitation. The fix involves introducing two new attributes to the handler; a namespace and a refereces attribte.
It basically slices up the typemapper into different verticals, so that in any given vertical can resolve a handler for a given model without collisions. I can send you guys a patch if you like, with accompanying documentation and tests.
Rishi Ramraj,
sure. Can you share it as gist on github or any other way?
Hey guys, what is the best way you have found to achieve this?
