Fruit/Veggie Smoothie Recipe?
Does anyone have a yummy recipe for "hiding" veggies in my kids fruits smoothies? I heard flax seed was also good?
thank you
Does anyone have a yummy recipe for "hiding" veggies in my kids fruits smoothies? I heard flax seed was also good?
thank you
I have found that carrots will not affect the color or taste too much in any smoothie recipe. I can get by with a little broccoli (two or three florets) without noticing too much. Also if you add a tablespoon of splenda to sweeten it masks the taste of any vegetable quite a bit.
I have tried spinach (black smoothie anyone??), green beans…you name it! Just experiment and have fun. Just beware that you might come up with some crazy colors!
I've been experimenting with putting both fruit and veggies together in the blender – I use 1 banana, 1 apple (cored but not peeled), 1 pear (cored by not peeled) I happened to add a nectorine today. Add a 6 oz container of yogurt (I've used all sort of flavors including plain), I then put in a little unsweetened juice or water. As everything is blending I add 1 stalk of cerery (chooped), 1 few flowerettes of broccoli, a quarter of a cucumber (chopped and skin on – I also don't seed it), then about 5 or 6 of those little baby carrots (chopped) – I add this slowly through the top of the blender. I then add 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries, or strawberries, then I add a small bunch of spinach – blend some more on high and then add 1/8 teaspoon of ground cininimon. Blend on high for about a minute more. This makes two 16 oz glasses. I drink one, and refrigerate the other. I can't taste the veggies. But don't put too much broccoli (or you will take it) and go really easy on the cinnimon – it can take over the taste totally. You can get some weird colors, but they are yummy – I've been doing this for about a year for breakfast every morning.

Bodies are back. Walking through The Sun and Other Stars: Katy Grannan and Charlie White to get to Figure and Form in Contemporary Photography, I was struck by the insistent presence of the human figure. The body has always fueled the photographer's imagination, but we seem to have returned to the dominance of the studio portrait, where model and photographer collaborate on fantasies of identity and form. Except now cameras—and the people posing for them—can go to, and come from, anywhere.

In fact, Figure and Form offers a surprisingly diverse tour through the intimate exchange between body and photograph through the last century. Drawing from LACMA's collection, the exhibition explores fashion photography, documentary photography, conceptual photography, the erotic, the playful, the ironic, and the deadly serious.

It demonstrates how central the body has been to photographic practice, both as a subject and as a catalyst for experiments with material and process. And it offers a visually delightful survey of the body posing, prancing, and working hard through some of modern and contemporary photography's greatest moments.

On Thursday, February 6, 2014 — the day before the XXII Olympic Winter Games are set to begin — the UNH Law Sports and Entertainment Law Institute (SELI) and UNH Law's Chapter of Lambda Law will co-host a panel on Russia's new law that "bans gay propaganda aimed at children" and its impact on the Sochi Olympics. Please RSVP to: email@example.com
The panel will address such topics as:
- How does the prohibition impact LGBT rights in Russia?
- Is the prohibition legal under the law of Russia? How does the prohibition interact with local Russian laws that have barred public demonstrations of LGBT groups?
- Is the prohibition consistent with the Olympic Charter? The International Olympic Committee ("IOC") believes the prohibition does not violate the Olympic Charter. If that is the case, should the Olympic Charter be revised?
- Despite widespread criticism of the prohibition, no country or sponsor has said that it will withdraw from the Sochi games. Is this a case of "all talk and no action"?
- The United States has responded to the prohibition by announcing that neither President Obama nor Vice President Biden, nor their families, will attend the Sochi games. In previous games, either the President or First Family has attended. The U.S. is instead sending former Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Billie Jean King as part of its official delegation. Is this response appropriate?
Should the U.S have adopted a bolder response, such as pulling its athletes in a boycott – as it did in the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow in response to the Soviet Union's conflict in Afghanistan? Or is the response too harsh and might it create a precedent for leaders to skip Olympic games when they disagree with the host country's laws?
- Is the U.S. hypocritical given the different forms of legal discrimination against LGBT groups in the United States? Thirty three states ban same sex marriage. Federal law does not bar LGBT discrimination in the workplace and neither do the laws of most states. In sports, NFL teams have been known to ask college players about their sexual orientation.
Panelists will include:

Putting poverty on the map
The expansion of household surveys in Africa can now show us the number of poor people in most countries in the region. This data is a powerful tool for understanding the challenges of poverty reduction. Due to the costs and complexity of these surveys, the data usually does not show us estimates of poverty at "local" levels. That is, they provide limited sub-national poverty estimates.
For example, maybe we can measure district or regional poverty in Malawi and Tanzania from the surveys, but what is more challenging is estimating poverty across areas within the districts or regions (known as "traditional authorities" in Malawi and "wards" in Tanzania).
To address this shortfall, several years ago a research team from the World Bank developed a technique for combining household surveys with population census data, and poverty maps were born. Poverty maps can be used to help governments and development partners not only monitor progress, but also plan how resources are allocated. These maps depend on having access to census data that is somewhat close in time to the household survey data. But what if there is no recent census (they are usually done every 10 years) or the census data cannot be obtained? (I will resist naming and shaming any specific country): we are left with no map. Can we fill in the knowledge gaps in our maps?

It isn't often that a forward playing Junior B hockey at the age of 17 develops into a top four NHL defenseman. Don't tell that to Jason Garrison, though. Most hockey fans had little idea who he was before the 2011-12 season, unless they were a fan of the Florida Panthers or happened to stumble upon James Mirtle's 2011 column on the top defensive defensemen around the league.
Scoring 16 goals in 2011-12 changed all of that. Garrison was one of the most sought after UFAs this past summer. He rose from relative obscurity to sign a six-year deal worth $4.6 million per season in a little over two years. How, exactly, did he do it?
Read on past the jump to find out.
Garrison's offensive explosion in 2011-12 was due in large part to Florida's coach, Kevin Dineen, and his defensive partner this past season, Brian Campbell. Dineen had Garrison paired with Mike Weaver in 2010-11, and they were among the best "shutdown" defensive pairings in the entire league (in fact, they ranked as two and three on Mirtle's list of the top defensive defensemen, trailing only Vancouver's Dan Hamhuis).
Dineen had a hunch that Garrison had more to give offensively, however. The reason wasn't his passing, vision, or skating (all of which are above average). Garrison can absolutely hammer the puck, and he knows how to get himself open. He and Campbell were a perfect fit on Florida's top pairing. Garrison's steady defense and booming slap shot meshed with Campbell's sublime skating and passing.
Garrison was freed up from some of his defensive responsibilities, and he flourished offensively. His 16 goals trailed only Erik Karlsson and Shea Weber among NHL defensemen.
The Panthers wanted him back, but they didn't appear willing to give him a long term deal (reports say that Florida offered Garrison $4 million per over two or three years). The Canucks on the other hand, were among the teams interested in getting Garrison's name on a contract. He expressed a desire to play close to his White Rock home, and was willing to leave a fair bit of cash on the table and the rest is history. Garrison earned the massive contract with his offensive exploits, but the Canucks aren't paying him to score 16 goals again (although that would be nice). What they want is a steady and reliable defensive defenseman who can contribute on the power play.
He'll basically be Sami Salo's replacement.
Garrison's journey is an interesting one. He was still playing forward at the beginning of his junior hockey career, and was undrafted out of college. The Florida Panthers signed him in 2009, and he spent time developing with their AHL affiliate in Rochester. In 2010 he signed a two-year, one-way contract (meaning he would earn the same salary at the NHL or AHL level). He earned a roster spot out of camp that year, and quickly emerged as one of Florida's best defensemen.
The Canucks hope that the 27-year-old late bloomer still has room to grow.
Behind the Curve
Garrison always seemed a year or two behind his peers throughout junior hockey. He struggled to make the local Triple A rep teams. At the age of 18, he was playing Junior B for the Richmond Sockeyes. At 18, most prospects are drafted (or on their way to being drafted), and playing in college or the CHL. Junior B is a long way away from either of those leagues.
Garrison had played forward for most of his hockey career, but in his first year of junior he was moved back to defense. He wasn't a huge fan of the move at the time, but Garrison credits his coach with having the foresight to make the move.
"I had a coach my first year Junior that turned me into a defenseman ( I played forward my whole life) and it was probably one of the biggest reasons why I was able to get to where I am at."
The next season, Garrison made the Nanaimo Clippers final roster. The Clippers play in the BCHL – the top Junior A league in the province. He spent two seasons with Nanaimo, and emerged as a quality prospect in his second season (2004-05), scoring 22 goals and adding 40 assists in 57 games. Garrison's rapid development over those two years earned him a scholarship to the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Many of Garrison's 22 goals that season were of the slap shot variety. Garrison took pride in his shot, even from a young age.
"Growing up, I was complimented about my slap shot and really developed it in junior. It took a little bit of time to get the timing down for a one-timer and the accuracy, but for the most part, the strength of it has always been there."
At Minnesota-Duluth, Garrison played a top four role for the Bulldogs though he battled injuries (including a broken leg) during his tenure there. In his freshman season he played 40 games, but in his next two campaign he played in only dressed for a combined 47 games. After his junior season, the Florida Panthers signed him to a contract. At the age of 23, Garrison left school and joined the Panthers organization. Moving up from Junior B to the AHL in five years is pretty impressive, and even Garrison himself wasn't convinced he was ever going to make it there.
Making it to the NHL is a long shot and while players climb the junior ranks, it`s hard to avoid the question, `what if I don`t make it?' "I was a late bloomer and I honestly didn`t think I was going to make it as far as I have. That's the reason I went to school."
Garrison's first season in pro hockey was a very successful one. In 78 games with the Rochester Americans, he scored eight goals and added 27 assists. The club wasn't very good that season, compiling a 29-43-0-8 record, but Garrison was the highest scoring defenseman on the team (finishing with 15 more points than any other blue liner), and he was fourth on the team in scoring. He had his first taste of NHL action that year, playing one game up in Florida.
In 2009-10, Garrison split time between the Panthers (39 games) and the Americans (38 games). He posted a respectable eight points at the NHL level, especially considering he played only 20 seconds on the power play in each game. He saw over a minute per game on the penalty kill, and averaged 15:08 overall. After Florida's season wrapped up, Garrison went back down to the AHL and put up nine points in Rochester's first round playoff series with Abbotsford (ending in a Game 7 loss).
Garrison was one of the best Rochester players in 2009-10. Let's Go Amerks, a blog covering the team, gave a review for each player on the roster upon the conclusion of the season.
"He'll have a full time job in the NHL soon enough. The defense had issues all season and without Garrison in the lineup for the postseason things may have been [even worse]. Once he masters his shot from the point and can use it more effectively he'll have a long career ahead of him."
A bit of foreshadowing with that last point. Florida liked enough of what they saw from Garrison that season to reward him with a two-year, one-way contract extension. He came in to camp with a lot of confidence, and it showed in his play.
Finally a Panther
The one-way contract gave Garrison some level of comfort as the 2010-11 season approached.
"You sign that 1-way contract and you know that management has confidence in you that you're able to stay. So for me I just wanted to make sure I showed them that they made the right decision and work hard on and off the ice and try to learn as much as I could [and] limit my mistakes and just progress and develop as a player."
Garrison was one of the most effective defensemen in the league, forming an unlikely shutdown pairing with the undersized Mike Weaver. Garrison and Weaver – a former Canucks cast-off and one of the most underrated defensive defenseman in the NHL – played some of the most difficult minutes in the league, started the bulk of the team in the defensive zone, and came out ahead in goals and possession.
The Panthers moved Garrison up to the top pairing in 2011-12 alongside the dynamic Brian Campbell. The shutdown role was now on the shoulders of Weaver and Dmitri Kulikov. Garrison had been a productive offensive defenseman in the past, mostly because of his hard and accurate one-timer. The move paid off, as Garrison scored 16 goals, good enough for third among NHL defensemen.
Garrison's changing role:
Campbell was the catalyst in Garrison's breakout campaign. Garrison saw more power play time as well, and his penalty killing responsibilities were cut a bit, too. Even with his, impressive goal total, Garrison still wasn't getting the respect he deserved around the league. One NHL team executive had the following to say about him:
"He's a No. 5 defenceman. Plus, he's only lit it up for one year. There's no body of work here."
The second part of that statement is true. In terms of being a productive defenseman at the NHL level, Garrison really only has one year to fall back on. However, the only team where he wouldn't crack the top four would be an All-Star team.
You can count the number of defensemen who have been better than him in the defensive zone since 2010 on two hands. He likely won't score 16 goals again, as the Canucks don't have a playmaker like Campbell on the back end. However, Garrison's value comes more from his ability to eat minutes and shut down opposing stars and less from his ability to light the lamp.
Garrison also led Florida's defense in On-Ice Corsi, Relative Corsi, and plus/minus (I know, I know). You can see how Garrison's role changed from 2010-11 to 2011-12:
This past summer, I spoke with Chris Roberts from Litterbox Cats, the SBNation blog covering the Florida Panthers. Here is the Q&A:
When did Garrison first emerge as a legitimate NHL defenseman?
As an undrafted player signed by then-GM Jacques Martin, Garrison was sent to the AHL the season after leaving Minnesota-Duluth. Though at the time no one in the media seemed to notice, that season with Rochester was what probably punched his NHL ticket. Next season he'd earn call up duty with the Panthers. At that point, internal changes and free agent departures left the Panthers with a bare-bones roster for 2010-11.
In some ways Garrison's name on the roster wasn't due to his promise but rather that Florida was desperate for players, any player. Given a full season and good ice time with Mike Weaver, Garrison really began to show glimpses of his scoring power with five goals from the Panthers' rarely offensive blueline. His shot was a factor, but it wasn't until Dineen paired him with a truly offensive minded Brian Campbell that people started to take notice.
Were Florida fans confused when Dineen split him and Weaver up for the 2011-12 season?
Some of the confusion came from the fact that with all of the offseason changes a rookie coach would break up what seemed to be the only constant on the team; that Garrison-Weaver pairing. Looking back now the decision worked out just fine. Garrison had already learned the finer points of defensive hockey from Weaver and was given a complimentary partner to set him up for almost all of his 16 goals. The shutdown pairing would be reunited on the penalty kill, so it wasn't a total goodbye.
The Canucks are hoping for 15+ goals again, but I think they know not to expect it. How good is Garrison defensively? Is he someone the Panthers leaned on against the very best in the East?
While the experts focused on his scoring and possible decline in scoring without Campbell, it was frustrating for to see how little his defensive game was covered during free agency. Garrison is as stable as defensemen come and eats big minutes on the penalty kill; he's not a one trick pony with a big shot. Garrison was given big money because of his offense, but he got into the league because of his defensive play.
What are his strengths and weaknesses?
His main strength is obviously scoring, but it's not all from a booming shot. A good percentage of Garrison's goals came from putting himself in the right place at the right time. He knows how to capitalize by moving his feet. And though Florida's penalty killing percentage dropped from last season, he's still a top pairing penalty killer and physical player.
As far as genuine weaknesses, he was rarely a player who'd make you shake your head after a dumb play. Garrison could seemingly do it all without making mistakes. The only concern after last season is whether he can create his own offense or if he needs a set-up man to be successful. My guess is his scoring will drop a bit without Campbell and top pairing ice time.
Garrison is nothing if not a success story; if you'd have told me in 2010 he'd score 21 goals and 30 assists over the next two seasons I'd have laughed. Garrison was a well liked player amongst fans and never created trouble in the locker room. Even though he left Florida, I think most fans know better than to be bitter when a well behaved player leaves for big money and a lengthy contract in his hometown after playing several seasons near the league minimum salary. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't wish Garrison success in Vancouver.
How Garrison fits in with the Canucks remains to be seen. Canucks Army has a lot of Garrison-related coverage from this past summer.

text: from domain.tld/webmail to webmail.domain.tld Hi all, I've been searching the interwebs for a definite solution to this somewhat essential aspect of configuring a hosting platform. I have yet to find a solution with proper confirmation, so I was hoping I could get one here. many posts also mentions and as i've experienced myself that the ultimate server guide topic 20.2 does not work What I would like to accomplish is, for each created site have a redirection from a subdomain to the webmail interface. To make it clear. webmail.domain.tld points to domain.tld/webmail As I have understood so far is that in order to enable this, first off you will have to modify the squirrelmail.conf (or what have you) file as follows: Code: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail ServerName webmail.domain.tld </VirtualHost> second you will have to make a subdomain in ISPconfig3 as follows for each domain: Code: Host webmail Domain domain.tld Redirect Type R,L Redirect Path http://domain.tld/webmail/ While this works, I can't stop to think that there must be a 'smarter' or automated way of accomplishing this? A way that does not include manually adding the subdomains for each domain. sorry if this question is trite, but hopefully it can become a quick guide, sticky, or a wiki entry to shine light on this topic (so often asked)

Rossa and I took a sneaky trip to Antwerp back in May. We we're actually going to get my engagement ring, but didn't tell anyone. Antwerp is a lovey city, not as pretty as, say, Bruges, but nicer than Brussels. (We've been to both, Rossa is a total beer nerd so I could take about all the pubs we visited and beer we drank but I won't.)
While we were there the Mode Museum were holding an exhibition called Unravel: Knitwear in Fashion. It was a really good exhibition and I even managed to take a few snaps. It was great I have to say to be able to indulge my hobby while there, as sometimes I feel like our trips are hijacked by the pubs we *have* to go to and beer we *have* to try. Even in Antwerp (where we were getting an engagement ring remember) Rossa had a list of pubs and beers to check out. I'm not entirely complaining, but it was nice for things to be a little bit balanced.
We also visited Jilija's which is just such a gorgeous shop. I gathered that most of the yarns are La Droguerie, but she did have some other brands. She also had buttons and fabrics. As always happens me I felt a little overwhelmed, but came away with a skien of chunky baby alpaca, one of kid mohiar and some pure wool.
The baby alpaca and kid mohair both became cowls. I saw this photo on Pinterest and knew I wanted to make something similar with my mohair. For my Genna cowl [ravelry link] I cast on 110 stitches using 8mm needles, knit four rounds of 1×1 ribbing, then a round of k2tog/yo and five rounds of stocking stitch. I kept going until I felt I was going to run out of yarn, then four more rounds of 1×1 ribbing. Only problem is that I cast off really tightly, even though I went up to 10mm needles for the cast off. But I think it's still lovely.

The quarterback fraternity in the NFL is usually fairly collegial. But one former NFL quarterback is gleefully rooting for two current NFL quarterbacks to find themselves in an awkward situation this year.
That former quarterback is Jim Kelly, the Buffalo Bills Hall of Famer who says he's still a Bills backer and therefore is hoping that the Jets' two quarterbacks, Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez, find themselves in the midst of a divisive quarterback controversy.
"As a Buffalo Bills fan, I hope there's so much turmoil during training camp, I hope Tebow plays great, he pushes Sanchez, and all of a sudden the locker room is coming apart," Kelly told Andrew Siciliano on NFL Network's Total Access. "They open with the Buffalo Bills first game of the season in the Meadowlands, so this could be very exciting."
Kelly said that if he were a quarterback he would have hated to be in Sanchez's shoes right now, knowing that the first time he struggles, he's going to hear booing from his home fans and calls for his backup. Kelly said that if the Jets are really as committed to Sanchez as their franchise quarterback as they say they are, it was crazy to trade for Tebow.
"I really, to be honest with you, don't know what they were thinking," Kelly said. "Me, if I was a general manager or a president or the owner of a team, I would not have done that."
But as a former player for — and still a fan of — an opposing team, Kelly is glad the Jets did that.

Tropical Storm Andrea Gives New Jersey Heavy Rain, Flooding
New Jersey is feeling the full effects of Tropical Storm Andrea with heavy rains causing a slow ride home.
Parts of major roads and side roads have sections with high water causing a number of accidents and spinouts. The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Warning for central New Jersey counties as an area of heavy rain moves into the area until 9:30 p.m.
The Office of Emergency Management has activated the state's Emergency Operations Center to monitor the effect of the heavy rain Anrdea brings with her to New Jersey.
Ben Nelson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, Fla., said Andrea was "moving at a pretty brisk pace" and could lose its tropical characteristics Friday.
NJ Transit will cross-honor tickets on its trains and buses until midnight as remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea threaten Friday's commute home.
"It doesn't appear the storm will have a major impact on the coast, it doesn't appear like it's going to have strong winds either at the coast or inland - it's a pretty quick mover, so it's going to be in and out of here in relatively short order," says New Jersey State Climatologist Dave Robinson.
Nevertheless, he points out the storm may produce a lot of rain, and if we get into the 3 and 4 inch category for rainfall in some parts of the State, it could cause highway and small stream and river flooding problems.
Robinson points out however, we're not expecting multiple inches that could lead to flooding inland, similar to what we saw two years ago with Irene, and "it's not going to be a strong storm in terms of producing winds and waves and a storm surge along the barrier islands and into the bays - this is a totally different situation than we saw with Sandy so we should be grateful for that."
Winds may gust up to 40 mph along the Atlantic coasts of New Jersey & Delaware, 25 to 35 mph over inland sections east of I-95, and up to 25 mph west of I-95.The strongest winds will be over the Atlantic Ocean away from land. Beaches are at a high risk for rip currents with high surf and large swells producing dangerous pounding surf. Conditions are considered life threatening for anyone going into the ocean.
Heavy rains were continuing well away from the storm's center. The weather service in Charleston, S.C., advised of "an enhanced coastal flooding threat near the high tide Friday morning," as well as of possible tornadoes. Rain bands could bring wind gusts in excess of 40 mph or 50 mph, the weather service said.
Early Friday, tropical storm warnings remained in effect for the East Coast from Altamaha Sound in Georgia to Cape Charles Light in Virginia, the Pamlico and Albemarle sounds and the lower Chesapeake Bay south of New Point Comfort. A tropical storm warning means tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere inside the warning area within a day and a half.
David Matthau and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Nahki Wells has joined Huddersfield from City for an undisclosed sum.
Wells has signed a four-and-a-half year deal with the Championship club for a fee thought to be in the region of £1.5m. That will be further boosted by add-ons, including a sizeable sell-on clause.
Wells will go initially on loan so that he is eligible to feature in tomorrow's game against Millwall. But the permanent transfer deal has been signed and sealed.
Wells said of his move to the Terriers: "For football reasons and career-wise you have to make sure that when you move it's the right move, and this is the right move for me.
"I have had a lot of success and happy times at Bradford and also the opportunity to play in League One with them this season but now I've got the opportunity to play in the Championship with Huddersfield and I'm really looking forward to it."
Last season he helped Phil Parkinson's side to the Capital One Cup final and promotion from League Two.
Wells scored 26 goals in 54 games last season, and 53 in 112 matches since signing from Carlisle United in July 2011.
Huddersfield boss Mark Robins said of his new record signing - whose fee eclipses the £1.2m which lured Marcus Stewart from Bristol Rovers in 1996: "His achievements and potential meant that he was coveted by a host of Premier League and Championship clubs and I am delighted that he has chosen to join us.
"At just 23 he has huge potential, which he has proven at Bradford in the last two seasons. He fits into our ethos of buying young, hungry players who have experience and that we can develop.
"His goalscoring record over the last 18 months is hugely impressive and we believe that he is ready to make the step up to the Championship."

Degree: BS ForestryYear: 2003Email: email@example.com Title: Staff Forester IBusiness: Texas Forest Service (TFS)City, State: Granbury, TexasWeb Address: http://txforestservice.tamu.edu/main/default.aspx
I began my career with the Texas Forest Service (TFS) as a Forest Inventory & Analysis (FIA) Forester in Lubbock, TX in 2003. In September of 2005 I took a second position with TFS as a Multi-Resource Forester in Granbury, TX at the Regional Fire Coordination Center. Granbury is located approximately 38 miles southwest of Fort Worth. I cover 10 counties in North Texas but respond to any calls from here out to Abilene.
As a Multi-Resource Forester I have some stewardship, oak wilt and urban forestry responsibilities. Oak wilt takes up the biggest part of my time as it is a disease that affects a lot of the live oak trees in Central Texas. Oak wilt is a fungal pathogen that clogs the water conducting vessels of a tree and eventually causes the tree to die. Stewardship is the next part of my job in which I work with landowners to write a management plan for their property including their objectives for the land. Urban forestry takes up a part of my time as I cover the metroplex (Dallas and Fort Worth). Amongst all of these duties I hold programs and presentations for homeowners', cub scouts, school and community groups, and cities.
A typical work day for me includes going in to the office and checking any messages I have on the phone and email. Then I will either go to the field to look at trees for landowners or visit a stewardship site. If none of these are scheduled then I am probably working on a presentation for a group. The part I enjoy most about my job is working with all the different landowners. They all have a story to tell and you also get to see some beautiful countryside.
Along with my day to day responsibilities I was also able to help out during the 2005-2006 fire season in Texas. It was one of the worst in Texas history. During this time I worked as a public information officer and helped deal with the media. This was an interesting experience as we had not only local, but state, national, and international media calling about the fire season we were having. Public information is not for everyone but the Granbury office hosted the Incident Command Post and I had the opportunity to watch many of the different personnel responsible for a Type I incident. It is amazing how so many people from so many different places can work together for a common goal.
My advice for students is to take advantage of every opportunity you get to meet and work with professional foresters. Taking the forestry co-op position at NSWC Crane in Indiana was the best thing I could have done to help get experience in the forestry field. Get involved with the professional clubs in the department such as SAF, PSSA, TWS, etc. They do a lot of work that will give you experience in your specific areas of interest and you can meet professionals in the area you are studying. Also, I would advise you to get to know the professors in the department. You never know where they have contacts or job opportunities that will be coming up. Don't ever give up on finding your dream job. Keep looking and asking the people around you for help. There are no dumb or stupid questions. Take advantage of the student services office and the resources they have for job searching. The websites listed on the department site are also a good place to look for job openings. I included the TFS website at the top of the page as well, they always have positions open. Well before you are going to graduate, begin looking for the types of positions that are open in different organizations.
Good luck!

Also PLEASE HELP ROBOTS STEALING MY MEDICINE.
I'm downloading this patch , and will try it soon.
didn,t work. However I can use it to play the org. thief II and doesn't freeze up at all . maybe It me and I'm not getting into darkloader correctly.
Well note to all , when you pull your head out and do it right it works awesome!!!! THANK YOU 4 THE PATCH !!!! W.
Long ago I believe it was NV who told me that v1.18 is flaky in its application, so he suggested that I run it as a mod. So I extracted the files from the "v1.18 Premier patch" (mesh.crf, obj.crf, snd.crf, strings.crf) to thief2\RES\patch and modified resname_base line in my darkinst.cfg so that the patch directory overrides the contents of RES.
resname_base .\NTEXdds+.\EP+.\NTEX+.\PermanentMods\+.\res\patch+.\res
Here's my question, would this setup override any of the fixes done to models, missions, meshes, etc applied by Tafferpatcher?
Thanks in advance.
DARK.GAM 1376346 bytes, 27.03.2000, md5 9f510c7adbe415b287ba6fabf4d5f0ef
GEN.OSM 429568 bytes, 27.03.2000, md5 0cc03c984a79df89b341dfd208c8a362
If they are present in Thief 2 folder the Patcher will assume that your setup is properly patched and won't overwrite anything.
Just for reference, old files that Premier Patch leaves intact, look like:
DARK.GAM 1366129 bytes, 11.03.2000, md5 d593b9a25ea320b1f1a3744fb45b5c68
GEN.OSM 410112 bytes, 10.03.2000, md5 92ab303703f098e7ca7770f1058f6bca
2. For other optional resource patches, it checks all the folders listed in resname_base and searches for the exact old version of each file. So, there shouldn't be any problems.
3. For fan-made mission patches it assumes the .mis files are in root Thief2 folder. It doesn't check for load_path or anything. The old file is stored in Tafferpatcher\backup folder.
Thanks, you've cleared a lot up of things for me. One key thing though:-
That was my primary concern in the first place, I wouldn't want those these fixes to be overridden by the aforementioned setup in my previous post.
Thanks in advance.
1. There are same files as those to be patched in one of your custom folders. Then, the Patcher will find them first and replace them, the game will use them.
2. There are such files in your custom files at all. The Patcher will find original files in RES\*.CRF and replace them, so the game will use them since they are not overridden by anything.
3. There are files with the same names in custom folders, but they differ from originals (already patched, or modified somehow). The Patcher will skip them, search further and replace the original ones. The game will still use modified files from custom folders.
The 3rd possibility seems very unlikely (patch 1.18 surely doesn't contain them), and if it occurs, there are great chances that modified files are already fixed properly, so you won't see any difference.
I've looked around for a while and don't see instructions on * how to use Tafferpatcher *.
Do I install it before I install Thief 2, i.e. before i even slide in the disc? - or after? Do I install it to the same folder name that Thief 2 will want to load into, i.e. Program Files\Thief 2? Does it reguire other fixes or patches be made first? Is there a users guide of some sort?
We've been playing thief for 10 years and love it and are loving the fan missions too. Would love to have the benefits Tafferpatcher offers!
Thanks !!!!
Tafferpatcher does not require an installation of itself and can be run from any place. The message on the first page may be confusing as I didn't know how to change it at that time. Actually, it asks you to specify the folder where Thief2 is installed or should be installed. If you point to the empty folder, the program will ask you for an installation CD to install the game. If you point it to the existing installation, it will proceed with it. I think it's better to use an original installer if it works in your system though, as your distribution CDs may have differences which Tafferpatcher is unaware of. No additional patches are required to be installed before running Tafferpatcher. No need to run Thief2 for the first time before running Tafferpatcher too.
Thank for the reply, DJ Riff.
Ok, so I got the patcher to start running then at the end it stopped with a message something like "Unable to update executable files. Make sure you have access rights and try again" - which I should have cuz I am the administrator. Could this have been cause by my anti-virus, or software firewall?
It looks like some updates took. There is a BACKUP folder and a Tafferpatcher.ini with this:
Anyway, now when I try to run Tafferpatcher again, it says, 'Unable to execute file in temporary directory. Setup aborted. Error 5. Access denied.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again -
Will the latest version of DDFix ( as of this writing it's 1.5.5) be incorporated into TafferPatcher?
I've read currently it's version 1.4.4.
BTW; I've used this patch on a clean fresh install; ( WIN 7 PRO x64 bit; I7 core 950 CPU; 6 gig RAM); and it went very smoothly. Thief 2 looks and works great
Windows isn't paranoid enough. My Ubuntu system I can let someone use my account without worrying about it. They cant do anything to harm my system without using my password.
Windows on the other hand they could destroy it easily if I logged into my administrator account and walk away for some reason without locking it.
That's why I don't use an administrator account for normal usage though. I would rather be slightly annoyed and be safer.
Yes, they are. They don't interfere with each other though.aren't these included in EP?
Yes, Ok . Reran it with (in XP) right-click "Run as..." -then later it radio-button asks for Administrator+password, and it installed fine. I entered the folder name where my Thief2 was installed and all is good. Thanks DJRiff.
When I install fan missions (to a different folder), I assume I can re-run specifying that FM folder, yes?
I hope to try this on Thieves Highway - a great mission with less than great skies.
I still use a regular user account though for as much as I can do.
I would ditch windows forever if I didnt need it to game.
Just installed the patcher, ran Thief 2, get the image with messed up colours, and the message, couldn't set resolution.

The next thing to consider is the availability and condition of water shutoff valves. Check if it is located inside or outside the apartment. You may not want to discover very later that the shutoff valve is located underneath the floor, a place very much difficult to access, when necessary. Another thing to consider about water is that sings of water damage. Water damages can easily be identified. Say for example a leaky roof may have stains that tell the condition of the building. Slowly begin the process by inspecting the leak has been repaired recently. Then look for obvious linger impact.
Storage place is another important thing to consider. With regards to storage, this requirement is more a personal need.

The Sims 2
Electronic Arts, M15+, RRP $89.95, * * * * *
This sequel to the world's biggest-selling computer game is a masterpiece. As you guide your endearing digital denizens to health, happiness, fame and fortune, you may become so addicted that your own life suffers.
The Sims display astonishingly realistic emotions, and directing their lives can be comical and poignant. Whether it is a momentous event, such as a child learning to walk, or just how a couple tenderly cuddle as they sleep, the characters never cease to fascinate.
They are also much smarter, autonomously dealing with the most mundane of daily needs, freeing players to concentrate on life's bigger aspirations. Sims now age and reproduce, passing their characteristics on to offspring, letting you watch family dynasties evolve. There is also more creative flexibility to mould neighbourhoods, construct dream homes and sculpt characters.
Everyone will play differently: the depth and freedom is astonishing.
Playstation 2
Conflict: Vietnam
SCi, M15+, RRP $99.95. Also Xbox, PC, * * ½
Previous Conflict games let players command skilled warriors in gritty desert and street fights. But squeezing the Desert Storm games into the currently fashionable Vietnam setting was a mistake. Open landscapes are replaced by claustrophobic jungle, eliminating tactical freedom. Players edge along narrow paths, progressing from one firefight to the next.
The 14 missions can be unforgiving, especially with deadly snipers, booby traps and camouflaged enemies armed with machine guns, rockets and grenades. Splitting up the squad is rarely a realistic option.
It is a shame the level design is so restrictive as controls are instantly intuitive yet allow comprehensive management of your four-man squad. Character skills can be upgraded to suit individual playing styles but the action is often frustrating and multi-player options disappointingly limited.
Playstation 2
Spy Fiction
Sammy, M15+, RRP $99.95, * * ½
More Timothy Dalton than Sean Connery, this spy caper is a pale imitation of Metal Gear Solid. Players choose between two covert operatives who are masters of disguise and stealth. Missions are a blend of sneaking, combat and using high-tech gadgets to solve puzzles.
Tools include a spider grip for hanging from ceilings, X-ray glasses and an explosive pencil. The best is a camera for creating near-perfect disguises of enemies. You take a photo, duck behind cover to transform yourself, then wander straight past oblivious opponents while nonchalantly eavesdropping on conversations to gather clues.
But outsmarting enemies is not difficult when they are so myopic and stupid. Often just shooting adversaries, then hiding until the hullabaloo ends, is as successful a strategy as implementing a complex and cunning plan. The stylish Anime-inspired visuals are the highlight.

You can spend the time testing or spend the time do fixes and work-arounds. Consider the cost of procuring something you can't use or will have to spend the next few years working around. Or just let it sit around heating up the room. We already use >500KVA and have no real need for a heater in there. We had just that issue with a couple NAS vendors. In fact, had we accepted that solution without testing, we would have purchased tons of terabytes of storage with a 100% failure rate. It took 80 nodes and 3.5 days, but it failed 100% of the time. Ooooh, I would not have liked my name attached to that 'cause it would have cast doubt on my abilities. We have found that any reputable vendors will work with you to get an eval unit- he/she wants you to test their product 'cause that means you are really interested and not kicking the tires. > interesting; I'd enjoy hearing more about it. obviously, IB _is_ capable of > working, so what appear to be the sticking points? The fs vendor came in with the IB guys and swore it all worked together-but a year later we don't have it working the way it was represented. I make sure I use that stick when the powers-that-be starting thinking about things they should not be. > I think you mentioned EMC in an earlier message, and I suspect that pretty > much equates to what I'd call high-margin. this is NOT to criticize your > decision or EMC, just that it's probably a lot more than $1/GB. > > in fact, I'd love to hear your comments about EMC as well. Rule #1 is that you build your alliances carefully. These are relationships you are building for the long haul. If a vendor can not take care of you-take it as a sign that they will not be able to support you when it all hits the fan. We have had good luck with EMC. EMC produces a solid product. We beat the snot out of it every single day and it keeps ticking. But, it is all about our EMC reseller. If you have built the right kind of relationship with your vendor, when something falls apart (and it will) they will be there to help you pick up the pieces. Some 3 years ago or so, we had an issue where at 5:30 Xmas (Wed) eve we lost an array. Not a large one (~TB) but one that would be needed I in a couple of days for a precondition job (everything halts until this one is done.) I called our vendor (our sales gal was on the road heading to dinner with the folks and her husband.) I told her what my problem and she told me straight out, "Darlin' I can't get you one until after the 1st!" We talked a little bit more and found they had something we could use to hold us off. She agreed to be sure it was delievered Friday AM (we had to get going too.) At 8AM Friday, it was delivered and the job ran so when the guys came back, nothing wrong was noticed. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I've followed the illegal immigration dilemma for decades and would like to see a rational solution to the problem ("An opportune moment for deal on immigration," Nov. 17).
Today there are more than 12 million undocumented immigrants in America, and the number continues to grow. But whenever a rational person speaks out with a proposal other than "path to citizenship," they are branded a racist, bigot, xenophobe or worse.
Illegal immigration involves human trafficking, misery, poverty, abuse and sometimes death. Everyone who studies the problem understands the risks people take to get into this country and how vulnerable they are to "coyotes," the guides who demand exorbitant fees for smuggling people across the border. Afterward, undocumented residents must "live in the shadows" in order to eke out a living.
Francisco Dominguez, whom you described as a worker in Fells Point waiting for a construction job, failed to mention how many times he had to work in unsafe conditions or was stiffed by unscrupulous employers. He also never said he paid taxes or contributed to Social Security and Medicare. To me, this man has been horribly exploited, as have so many other undocumented workers.
Instead of a "path to citizenship," why not create a visa program whereby people could come here to work, be protected under the law, find employment in jobs that don't endanger life or limb, and only then, if they want, be offered the opportunity to become a U.S. citizen?
Republican Rep. Andy Harris is floating this proposal, which makes sense to me. But the idea has been shot down by Gustavo Torres and his supporters at CASA de Maryland.
Your article failed to mention the 1986 amnesty, which never solved the problem. America has an enormous appetite for workers who "live in the shadows" and work below minimum wage.
Once the undocumented people who are here now gain a legal foothold, more undocumented folk will step in to fill their places. It's a cycle that never seems to end.

Privacy Groups Take Facebook Quarrel to the Feds
Dec 18, 2009 9:17 AM PT
The Electronic Privacy Information Center, key privacy group, has filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission arguing that the privacy changes Facebook made a little more than a week ago were unfair and deceptive.
"We think this is the most important matter now before the FTC, and the reason is that Facebook has more than 100 million subscribers in the United States," Marc Rotenberg, EPIC's executive director, told the E-Commerce Times.
This is the latest development in a backlash against the social network that appears to be gaining momentum.
When Facebook implemented its privacy overhaul, it probably expected to encounter some resistance. After all, it was taking the unprecedented step of requiring 350 million or so users worldwide to review and update their privacy settings.
It seems safe to assume, however, that the reaction, in at least some quarters, has been more than it bargained for.
First, just a day after implementing its "transition tool," as it's called, user feedback prompted the social network to change the way it had originally handled the visibility of Friends lists on the site.
Then, criticisms appeared regarding the amount of personal information that had become available to third-party application developers.
Now, it's the FTC complaint.
Call for an Investigation
On Thursday, EPIC filed charges that Facebook's new privacy practices violate federal consumer protection law.
Far more user information has become publicly available as a result of the change, the group argues, as well as becoming more accessible to third-party developers.
EPIC urged the FTC to open an investigation into the changes, and to require that Facebook restore the privacy safeguards it had in place before the change pending its findings.
Among the groups supporting the complaint, according to EPIC, are the American Library Association, the Center for Digital Democracy, the Consumer Federation of America, FoolProof Financial Education, Patient Privacy Rights, Privacy Activism, the Privacy Rights Now Coalition, the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse and the U.S. Bill of Rights Foundation.
'Unfair and Misleading'
"Facebook chose to change everyone's privacy settings, and it's clear from users, bloggers, security experts and others that it really was unfair and misleading," EPIC's Rotenberg said. "What we found was that through this transition, Facebook had nudged the settings toward further disclosure."
Facebook had said that its transition process would preserve any current settings, "but they didn't show you what those were," Rotenberg noted. Furthermore, "the only option if you changed your current settings was to make information more widely available.
"We're not happy about where things are," he concluded. "Facebook can't ignore the 100 million U.S. consumers who are generally unhappy with these changes."
7 Data Elements Exposed
The biggest problem with the privacy overhaul "is that there are many people who open Facebook accounts that may not actively use them," Paul Stephens, director of policy advocacy with the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, told the E-Commerce Times.
"If that were the case, and they were not aware of the changes made to the privacy policy, there are seven data elements of their privacy data that were previously not available but that are now available to everyone," Stephens explained. "My understanding is that if you don't affirmatively go in and make that information private, it will presumably be available to anyone that enters the site."
It's not just Facebook that suffers from such problems, Stephens pointed out -- "Facebook is the focus of the complaint just because of their size," he said.
Still, while it's expected that "there will be bumps in the road" as privacy policies are honed, "this was a pretty big one," he concluded.
'We're Disappointed'
Facebook discussed its privacy program with "many regulators, including the FTC, prior to launch," and it expects to continue to work with them in the future, company spokesperson Andrew Noyes said in a prepared statement.
"We've had productive discussions with dozens of organizations around the world about the recent changes and we're disappointed that EPIC has chosen to share their concerns with the FTC while refusing to talk to us about them," Noyes said.
Facebook's plan to provide users control over their privacy and how they share content is "unprecedented in the Internet age," he added, and "we have gone to great lengths to inform users about our platform changes."
'I Don't Endorse the Complaint'
It should be noted that not all privacy groups stand behind EPIC's complaint.
"I think Facebook did some things right, and I think there are some things that could be better," Larry Magid, codirector of ConnectSafely, told the E-Commerce Times. ConnectSafely is a member of the newly established Facebook Safety Advisory Board.
"I don't endorse the complaint," he added, "but it's good we're talking about it."
No Place for Government?
It's "great" that Facebook provided granular control over privacy, "terrific" that users can block who can see individual postings, and "I think it's historic that they got 350 million people to think about privacy for three minutes," Magid said.
Nevertheless, "I see no reason why any information needs to be mandatorily controlled," he added. "I also wish minors by default didn't have their Friends list exposed."
Either way, while it's good that EPIC has raised the issue, "I'm not sure the government needs to be involved," he concluded.
'There Are Benefits to Sharing'
Indeed, "the important thing to recognize here is that the issue is not whether this is the perfect privacy policy or set of tools, but that this is an ongoing process of innovation," said Berin Szoka, senior fellow and director for the Center for Internet Freedom at the Progress and Freedom Foundation.
Many privacy advocates would say that all data should be opt-in, "but that doesn't strike a balance with the fact that there are benefits to sharing," Szoka told the E-Commerce Times. "Unlike EPIC, I don't think sharing is a bad thing -- the trick is to do it in a way that empowers users with granular control over the things they really find sensitive."
'Like Deer in the Headlights'
Looking at the privacy issue from a higher level, "nobody can agree on what should be done," Szoka noted.
The solution offered by companies like Facebook, Google and Yahoo is to offer "privacy by design," he pointed out.
"If you jump on companies every time they announce a new privacy-by-design feature, you leave them like deer in the headlights," he warned. "They'll be terrified to move forward with anything."

At this week's Thursday night cruiser ride, more than 400 riders gathered to pedal through downtown Boulder to honor the elk shot and killed on Mapleton Hill on New Year's Day.
The memorial ride, dubbed "The Ride for Big Boy: Justice for the Mapleton Elk," fell on the eve of the arraignment of the two former police officers charged in the case.
Sam Carter, 35, and Brent Curnow, 39, are due in court Friday on charges including official misconduct, illegal possession of a trophy elk and unlawful taking of a big game animal out of season.
