Good point Joe. Most people consume calorie intensive foods with thier beer. Then blame the beer for the belly. My eating habbits are very clean and I still have a 30 inch waist in spite of all the beer I drink.
Gas-tank for a love machine!
I still am proud of my twelve pack abs

Cambridge, Mass. – The MIT women's swimming team delivered two dominating performances, getting by both schools they hosted in a weekend tri-meet. The Engineers won 228-70 over Bowdoin College and 251-44 over Babson College at Zesiger Pool. The women from MIT won sixteen of the meet's events.
Sophomore Anna Kokensparger won the 100 yard butterfly (58.58), 200 yard butterfly (2:08.57) and the 200 yard IM (2:09.09). Kokensparger made NCAA "B" cuts in the 200 IM and 200 Fly. She was also part of an Engineer team that won the 200 yard medley relay in this past weekend's victory over Babson and Bowdoin (1:49.89).
Also on the winning medley relay team were Calley Murphy, Elina Hu, and Christy Rogers. Rogers went on to win the 100 yard backstroke (1:00.05), Murphy was tops in the 100 yard breast (1:08.69) and Hu sprinted to victory in the 50 yard free (24.71) and the 100 yard free, in a time of 54.73.
Katalina Sher was best in the 200 yard freestyle (1:57.60) for the Engineers, Katelyn Rossick took the 200 yard backstroke (2:11.05), Morganne Klein won the 200 yard breast (2:32.72) and Joanna Yeh took the 500 Free in 5:21.12, with two Engineers placing behind her as well.
Yeh, Rogers, Sher and Hu won the 400 yard free style relay in a time of 3:41.13.
Beth Stavely was again superb on the diving boards for MIT. Stavely swept both the 1 meter (247.40) and 3 meter diving (248.25) competitions to pick up big points for the Engineers. Elise Stave and Mia Stevens each had strong showings on the board for MIT.
The Engineers will take Thanksgiving week off before hosting the MIT Invitational December 3rd and 4th.

Today, two Slackware-based Linux distributions from the lightweight division will square off to find out once and for all, who has the clear edge.
On the left corner, please welcome the Brazilian sensation, GoblinX. On the right corner, put your hands together for the Zenmaster, Zenwalk.
I will be the sole and fair (hopefully) judge of this Slack-off as I have recently tried and tested the latest versions of the two distros. I know that it is kind of unfair to compare the two as Zenwalk is bigger than GoblinX "Mini Edition" in terms of size and therefore has more pre-installed applications and features. And, I could have used the "Standard Edition" edition instead. But, we are all just having fun here so we shall push through. Who knows, this could somehow end up like the fight between David and Goliath.
Let the battle begin!
Distrowar Arena (Test Machine Specs):
Board: Intel Corporation D102GGC2
Processor: 3.40 GHz Intel Pentium D
Hard Drive: Samsung 80GB ATA with 8GB allocated to VM disk
Memory: 2GB DDR2 RAM with 256MB allocated to VM memory
Tale of the Tape:
Distro Name: GoblinX/ Weight: 153MB/ Country Origin:Brazil/ Distro Origin:Slackware/ Package Mgt.:TGZ/ Default Desktop:XFCE/ Distrowatch Rank:#36
Distro Name: Zenwalk/ Weight: 469MB/ Country Origin:France/ Distro Origin:Slackware/ Package Mgt.: TGZ/ Default Desktop:XFCE/ Distrowatch Rank:#14
Speed Test:
Installation Time- Draw!
Boot/Start-up Time - Winner, Zenwalk!
Responsiveness- Draw!
Both GoblinX and Zenwalk were completely installed at almost the same speed, so I just gave a draw verdict on "Installation Time". Zenwalk took about 41 seconds to boot (measured from Grub menu to the main desktop) compared to GoblinX's 45 seconds. They were both very responsive since the two are using the same lightweight window manager which is XFCE.
Both GoblinX and Zenwalk were completely installed at almost the same speed, so I just gave a draw verdict on "Installation Time". Zenwalk took about 41 seconds to boot (measured from Grub menu to the main desktop) compared to GoblinX's 45 seconds. They were both very responsive since the two are using the same lightweight window manager which is XFCE.
Default Theme- Winner, GoblinX!
Extras- Winner, GoblinX!
Artwork- Winner, GoblinX!
GoblinX won the entire "Aesthetics" category because of its unique and artistic appeal. Zenwalk was just too plain and simple. Though for me, simplicity in design is not a disadvantage, I just thought that GoblinX has that X-factor in terms of looks.
Pre-installed Applications- Winner, Zenwalk!
Available Packages from Repo- Draw!
Ease of Use- Draw!
Being the bigger distro, Zenwalk has the obvious advantage against the smaller GoblinX for available "pre-installed applications". But, they both have plenty of packages on hand from their software repositories. Also, they were both user-friendly and I had a hard time choosing which one is better so I'm giving a draw verdict for "Ease of Use".
Hardware Detection- Winner, Zenwalk!
Software Management- Draw!
Error Handling- Winner, Zenwalk!
The minor predicament in GoblinX during installation is the reason why Zenwalk won "Hardware Detection" and "Error Handling". Zenwalk was just too smooth and trouble-free during the set-up. Since both have the same package management system, it's a tie for "Software Management".
Final Score:
Zenwalk = 4
GoblinX = 3
*Winner, Zenwalk!
The older and more experienced Zenwalk Linux won, but by just a slim margin. Its stability and added features were just too much for the young GoblinX to take. Nonetheless, GoblinX didn't just easily go down because it fought until the end. I think it has a huge potential to succeed, and perhaps, could someday become a distro to be reckoned with.
A well-deserved win by Zenwalk in my own view, but as always, I want more opinions from our dear readers.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 16, 2008) - It was not the usual cast of characters for the ETSU men's basketball team, but the efforts they provided were enough to get the Buccaneers a much needed victory Saturday afternoon inside Memorial Center.
Senior Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) posted his first career double-double, senior Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) scored a game high 23 points, and redshirt freshman guard Micah Williams (Manchester) came off the bench to score a career high 14 points as the Buccaneers snapped a two-game losing skid and rebounded from a disappointing loss to Belmont with an 81-78 win over Lipscomb in Atlantic Sun Conference action.
With the win, ETSU improved to 15-11 overall, 9-4 in A-Sun play, while Lipscomb falls to 13-14, 7-6. The Bucs remain one game back of
"I thought it was a good bounce back win," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose teams have reached at least 15 wins in four of his five seasons in
While the Bucs came away with the win, it was not easy. In the first half, ETSU rolled out to a lead of as many as 15 points thanks to a 14-5 run midway through the half, leading 37-22 with just over three minutes left before the break. However, Lipscomb posted a 9-0 run of its own to close out the first 20 minutes and cut the ETSU advantage to 37-31.
In the second half, Lipscomb kept the pressure on, outscoring the Bucs 14-4 to open the final 20 minutes and lead by four points at 45-41. From there the two teams had seven lead changes and a pair of ties before the Bucs progressively pulled away to an eight-point edge at 74-66 with remaining.
Over the final minutes Lipscomb slowly whittled away at the lead, and even though the Bucs hit their final six free throws, a 3-pointer by Lipscomb's LaKory Daniels made it 79-78 with just over two seconds remaining. After a pair of free throws from senior Travis Strong (
Swader finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds, Reed just missed a double-double of his own with a game high 23 points and nine boards, while Williams finished with six boards and 14 points in just 17 minutes. For the game, ETSU was an impressive 48 percent from beyond the 3-point line, while Lipscomb out-rebounded the Bucs 48-42.
Lipscomb had four players reach double figures, led by 18 from Josh Slater. Daniels finished with 17, while Jimmy Oden pitched in 14 and Adnan Hodzic scored 10.

Monday will be the 225th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution.
What do you know about that 8,000-word document?
Two years ago, we offered a 15-question quiz on the Constitution and American history under a headline that said, "Want to vote? First, you must pass this test ..."
To observe this important anniversary, we present the quiz again today.
Rumor has it that you didn't do so well last time.
AS WE SUGGESTED then, this will not prove or disprove your citizenship, patriotism or allegiance to the flag.
You could reasonably say that some of the questions require little more than a knowledge of historical trivia.
But we believe it's a good base to understand how some things work in our relatively young and still evolving republic.
As the editor used to tell his college journalism students, every test is really a learning exercise. The idea isn't to get a good grade – it's to come away smarter than you were before.
This is a multiple choice exam, so all the answers are right in front of you.
And it's self-graded, so there will be no permanent record of your score.
But you will know ...
Good luck!

SO, HOW DID YOU do this time?
If you think about it, No. 11 was really a math question (2012 minus 225 equals ...). It has been the most-missed question.
Nearly 40 percent of respondents thought the Constitution was written in 1776. That's the year when the Declaration of Independence was adopted, on July 4 – Independence Day.
Almost a third of test-takers thought the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances was not part of the First Amendment; 25 percent believed the Bill of Rights comprised 21 amendments; and 18 percent said Theodore Roosevelt was president during World War I.
But what's important is, Did you learn anything?
Maybe even that you're smarter than you thought!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A solid second half that featured six unanswered goals during final 23 minutes of action helped power the MIT men's lacrosse team to a 10-6 victory over Curry College on Wednesday. The Engineers picked up their first season-opening win since 2006 while the Colonels moved to 2-1 on the year.
Curry opened the contest with three straight goals, but Gabe Blanchet connected on a pass from Carl Tilbury to put MIT on the board with 2:35 remaining in the quarter. Tilbury posted a solo marker early in the second stanza which was followed by Tom Hay converting a feed from Nick Sisler that evened the score at three. Back-to-back goals gave the Colonels some breathing room, however, Corey Garvey's solo effort cut the Engineers' deficit in half and made the score 5-4 at the intermission.
Curry extended its lead after 1:22 elapsed in the third quarter. Following five minutes of scoreless play, Hay found Tilbury for a man-up goal and then John Kucharczyk notched the equalizer at the 3:52 mark.
Dan Piemont recorded what proved to be the game-winning goal just over a minute into the final frame as he put MIT up, 7-6. Garvey's unassisted goals sandwiched a strike by Sisler to seal the win.
Garvey finished with a hat-trick and three groundballs as additional three-point performances came from Hay (one goal, two assists) and Tilbury (two goals, one assist). Justin Myers gathered six groundballs while Bryan Beller and Eric Zuk both earned a trio of caused turnovers. In net, Christopher Rullan collected 12 saves.

It's a good cut just needs a bit of extra detailing across the front chest area and you're away. Love the tablecloth. I've got some retro sheets from the op shop I'm going to use soon. Love it. $3 each. Bargain! !

If you wear a tanktop or a tube top underneath it should be fine. I like the colours.

Jolette, WOCCU Board Member to Receive National Credit Union Foundation's Wegner Award
December 20, 2006
Madison, WI, The National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) announced it will bestow the Herb Wegner Award for Lifetime Achievement to Barry Jolette, World Council board member and President and CEO of San Mateo Credit Union in Redwood City, California. Jolette's award will recognize his service to the credit union movement at the local, state, national, and international levels. Among Jolette's many achievements:
·managing one of the first credit unions to successfully emerge from federal conservatorship,
·fighting to preserve his state's independent credit union regulator,
·helping to lead the nationwide campaign to pass the Credit Union Membership Access Act of 1998,
·working to spread the benefits of credit unions worldwide and
·earning "Outstanding Employer" and "Best Place to Work Awards" in his own credit union.
"We are proud that the National Credit Union Foundation is honoring Barry Jolette for his lifetime achievements and his ongoing commitment to the credit union system," noted Pete Crear, World Council CEO. Crear continued, "His commitment expands far beyond the borders of his own state of California and the United States. Barry has also played a key role at World Council as an international ambassador, helping to expand the support of World Council and credit union systems around the world."
Jolette currently serves on Credit Union National Association's World Leadership Development Committee and on the World Council board as 2nd Vice Chair. He formerly acted as World Council's Treasurer and as the Chair of the Legislation and Regulation Committee. He has also worked closely with the Worldwide Foundation in raising funds and acquiring resources for international credit union development.
"Barry's drive to make healthy and safe credit unions available to those around the world is commanding," reported WOCCU Chairman Gary Plank, President of the Arizona Credit Union System. "Barry is always in the forefront of any discussion in developing and strengthening of credit unions nationally and worldwide." Jolette intends to concentrate his energy on international efforts over the next several years.
"Barry has shared stories with me about the value of loans as small as $3 in developing countries," related James McPheters, President & CEO of California Coast CU in San Diego and Chairman of the California League. "These loans can start a business for people who as a result are able to feed, clothe, and shelter their families."
"Barry's leadership has greatly benefited WOCCU and credit unions throughout the world," added Dave Chatfield, retired California Credit Union League president. "Barry epitomizes the phrase, 'If you have an important volunteer job to be done, ask the busiest person you know...' Barry just doesn't know how to say no when asked to help a worthy cause."
Leader with a Legacy
"I had the honor and pleasure of knowing and working with Herb Wegner," concluded Chatfield, who received a Wegner Award in 1997. "I believe Barry is that special breed of unselfish leader who makes us all proud. Barry's selection for the Herb Wegner Lifetime Achievement Award would have pleased Herb very much."
Wegner Awards Lifetime achievement will be the final of three prestigious awards to be celebrated at NCUF's Herb Wegner Memorial Awards Dinner during CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference. For more information on Barry Jolette, please visit the World Council of Credit Unions website.

3. Are you talking about Scientologists?
If so I'm with ya.
Seems to be an even mix of people saying the idea is stupid, and people who want to twist it to their own ends.
God these people are disgusting peices of shit.In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.
In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.
However they want terrorists to have constitutional protections and consider giving prison inmates bread and water cruel and inhuman. These people are nothing if not predictable.Progressivism is a bottomless pit of absurdity.
Gee...I wonder if they're talking about the Religion of Peace????
Hey DUmmies, did you see the interview with that kid who is the son
of one of the Hamas Leadership??? The one helping the eeeevil Jews???
Did you hear what he said??? He said there is no such thing as a moderate
Muslim. Zero, Zip, Nada. Eat that you POS.May the FORCE be with you!

You know, sometimes when I imagine what the ultimate, most obnoxious, and most flat- out evil neo- Communist/ Socialist would be like, I imagine him ranting that America should adopt the Soviet policy of having all Christians who refuse to convert to atheism imprisoned, tortured, and executed. Then, I tell myself, "No, be realistic. Nobody in real life would be so twisted and evil as to openly advocate that!"
However, Bolivarian Zero's post today proved me wrong, and that scares me.
Every day, I'm given more of a reason to thank God that the DUmmies are not in any positions of actual political power. Idiotic though a lot of the liberals in our government are, they look completely sensible compared to 96% of the DUmmies.
Though, Gator is right; The Christian faith thrives even more under persecution. As much as the Devil's pawns try to destroy them, the faith just keeps on growing under those conditions.
The people out there like Bolivarian talk more than they act, thankfully. Hopefully, he wasn't really serious. There are actually bumper stickers out there that say "So Many Christians, So Few Lions". I don't think the people I saw driving the beat-up old Vega with that sticker on it were much of a threat to American Christians.
It's better for all of us that most of the DUers are unemployed and living in their parents' basements (except their parents). For them to gain any position of power would require passing a drug test, so I don't think there's much to worry about. Alll the democrats want from them is their votes, anyways, and we can get those even if they're dead.:)

Nov. 17, 2007
BRUNSWICK, Maine - MIT's men's swimming and diving team opened its dual meet schedule in stunning fashion on Saturday afternoon, winning 13 out of 14 swimming events en route to victories over host Bowdoin College (170-82) and New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) foe Babson College (175-73). Bowdoin defeated Babson, 173-66, in the afternoon's other match-up.
The Engineers, who boasted the top three finishers in a remarkable seven different events, improved to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the NEWMAC with the pair of wins. Meanwhile, the Polar Bears moved to 1-1 with the split and the Beavers fell to 3-4 (0-2 NEWMAC) with the losses.
Jeff Zhou, Rastislav Racz, Laurent Charpentier and Luke Cummings got the afternoon started for MIT with a victory in the 200-yard medley relay, touching the wall just over four seconds ahead of teammates Toomas Sepp, Deke Hu, Brendon Sullivan and Peter Wellings. The two foursomes finished with times of 1:37.00 and 1:41.68, respectively.
Tech then grabbed the top four spots in the 1000-yard freestyle courtesy of Michael Dobson (10:03.27), Jack Hill (10:19.04), Harrison Hall (10:31.22) and Colin Hom (10:48.01), before Charpentier and Wellings finished 1-2 in the 200-yard freestyle by clocking in at 1:46.06 and 1:50.56, respectively.
The Cardinal and Gray once again occupied the 1-2-3 positions in the 100-yard breaststroke, as Racz (1:00.04), Kalvin Kao (1:03.44) and John Walk (1:04.42) all touched the wall ahead of their opponents. Other events in which MIT copped the top three finishes included the 100-yard freestyle (Charpentier, Cummings and Wellings), the 200-yard breaststroke (Racz, Kao and Walk) and the 100-yard butterfly (Sepp, Hu and George Rossick).
Incredibly, the Engineers most impressive performance of the afternoon occurred in the 500-yard freestyle, in which they occupied spots one-through-five. Dobson picked up his second victory of the afternoon by clocking in at 4:54.54, and was followed by Hill (4:59.35), Udit Garg (5:09.15), Zack Cordero (5:11.32) and Eric Roselli (5:15.12).
Zhou won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 53.80, Cummings took top honors in the 50-yard freestyle by touching the wall at 22.24, and Hu (2:02.21) and Sepp (2:03.57) finished 1-2 in the 200-yard butterfly to round out Tech's remarkable contingent of triumphs.
MIT also grabbed the top four spots in the 200-yard individual medley and had the fastest relay team in the 200-yard freestyle relay, but the events counted as exhibitions, as the Engineers had already wrapped up the victories.
The Engineers will return to action in two weeks time, as they will host the MIT Invitational on Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1. The event will also be the next competition for Bowdoin, and will also include Brandeis University, Colby College, Tufts University and Wheaton College. Babson won't return to the pool until Saturday, Dec. 8, when it will travel to Clark University at 1:00 p.m.

Can't Get Laid? Blame Your Genetics
Ever notice how some guys just do not seem to possess the proper genetics to be strong, successful or you know, get laid? According to a new study in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports. That's because some men lack the actual gene that allows them to be risk-takers.
Researchers say that this supposed "Mega Man" gene affects how dopamine is distributed throughout the brain. In a study of nearly 500 thrill-seekers, researchers found that the majority of those with the gene were sporting enthusiasts, and much more likely to attempt to accomplish feats they had never tried before. Those who lacked the gene were more likely to prefer a seat on the sidelines.
Even if you are more of a dud than a stud, experts encourage you to try new things and force yourself to occasionally take necessary risks in order to follow your passion in life. Setting small goals for yourself, rather than always focusing on the outcome of your actions, is a great way to enjoy small successes – leading to much larger victories in the future. It's not all genes, after all.
When it comes to picking up women, experts recommend trying to engage them outside of a bar setting, without the 13 beers and martini in your gut doing the talking for you. Believe it or not, most women prefer to spend time with a man who is confident and sober, rather than a slobbering idiot grinding on them on the dance floor. Who knew!

Sociology is a social science that involves the study of social behavior and interactions in family units, groups, organizations, institutions, communities and societies. Sociologists view the world through the lens of different cultures, social classes and social groups. The sociology program at UT Dallas trains students to use theoretical frameworks and scientific methods to examine questions about various aspects of social life, such as those related to health and healthcare, religions and religious organizations, educational quality and achievement, workplace policies and corporate downsizing, the global economy, multi-cultural communication and technological changes.
Students seeking a degree in sociology will be equipped with critical skills necessary to succeed in a 21st century workplace, including critical thinking, analytic problem-solving, effective written and verbal communication, and an understanding of multi-cultural and global issues. Few fields incorporate such a broad knowledge base, skill set and application to the social world.

MS – Applied Sociology
With an emphasis on the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and social research skills, the master of science degree in applied sociology is designed to prepare students for careers in policy analysis, program development and evaluation, and quantitative and qualitative data analysis. As public, private and nonprofit organizations attempt to maximize their human and monetary resources, they often seek professionals with specialized skills to assess program demands and viability, evaluate program success, direct change and inform policy.
Graduates are trained to fill such roles and effectively apply their knowledge and skills in employment areas including healthcare, local, state and national government, nonprofit social services, community activism, marketing research, human resources and business administration.

I think this is very creative and quite interesting! This unique cardboard folding playhouse design idea intended for your kids. This called My Space designed by Liya Mairson purpose for children aged 4 -7, so it's have playful and modern design concept. The designer is a graduate of Israel's Shenkar College for Engineering and Design. My Space has been developed particularly for minimalist urban apartment with small room because in closed state it is extraordinarily compact. Even though it might be opened to become an amazing play area through multiply possibilities. These children playhouse's look and shape depends only on kid's imagination. The cool thing is that they could open and close it by themselves. The innovative folding playhouse is completely recyclable. You can visit Liya Marison design portfolio here.

About voiceover
As a result, the agency fielded criticism for failing to crack down on financial crimes ahead of the Great Recession and losing sight of real-estate fraud ahead of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.
Yeah, but that white-collar stuff ain't sexy. Kinda boring in fact. Makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Back to bed.
(the success of American Hustle gives lie to that tho'. Maybe we just need a few more movies with Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams and the FBI might rediscover an interest?)
I'd guess this is designed to startle his less bright colleagues (and there are far too many) who may not have grasped that their information is caught up in this worldwide dragnet. And as persons of interest, their ability to keep their dirty secrets secret is clearly jeopardized.
He's trying to build momentum among his fellows to recognize the danger and reign in the NSA. Added bonus for him is plaguing the NSA with, as Mike noted, the useful framing of the question.
I was surprised and pleased to see this language too:
His leaks revealed that James Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence, lied to Congress when testifying in March that the N.S.A. was not collecting data on millions of Americans. (There has been no discussion of punishment for that lie.)
Don't recall seeing a mainstream publication use the term "lie" rather than the more weaselly "falsely testified." Better still to see the Times suggest the lie merits punishment.

Gardening at Night
Labour is blossoming or dancing where
The body is not bruised to pleasure soul.
Nor beauty born out of its own despair,
Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil.
O chestnut-tree, great-rooted blossomer,
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?
— William Butler Yeats
So tonight, slightly bored as most folks I know in Cold City are out of town or otherwise indisposed, feeling mildly bloated from a modest supper consisting of a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of minestrone, I began Googling. On one hand, the electronic infrastructure of web, email, and other assorted circuit-based paraphernalia means that we, as an egghead class, are as far removed from our dusty sinecures as we have ever been. We are everywhere, yakking and writing and commenting and engaging, far from the remove of our isolated Ivory Towers (or cement-brick basements, as the case maybe). Yet, that networking also means that the fates of friends and enemies long forgotten are also at our fingertips. Such information, if not judiciously weighed, can provide a one-way ticket to the Funny Farm.
Schadenfraude and Envy seem to be two cardinal emotional states in the academy, and the Internet provides us with the ambivalent deliciousness of both in equal measure. But a little of this goes a long way, and after entering some key names and idly reviewing university profile pages, course descriptions, and conference programs, and perusing listings on Rate My Professors and Amazon, I did not feel the usual self-loathing I usually experience at such tortuous, masochistic moments. You know the drill: Mr. X has Fabby Job #2439, Ms. Y has Post-Doc #746338, Ms. Z is still at the Roy Cohn Center for Self-Aggrandising Studies, et cetera. Woe is me. Slow curtain, the End.
No, instead, this time, as I monitored, through casual Internet stalking, my former colleagues and doctoral student peers, I realised with a mild start that we move at different paces and speeds. In fact, the stars of my cohort and the ones immediately before and after seem to have hit a wall. They burned bright, burned hot, then flamed out. Some have received early tenure, and retreated into bourgeois respectability, producing no doubt hideous monster children and buying homes. Others have just dropped off the map, stopping at book #1, or article #1 as the case may be. The Next Big Thing turned out to be rather the latest Flash in the Pan. Some are still passing through the Merry-Go-'Round of mentions in equally moribund authors' acknowledgment pages ("So-and-So continues this important work," and other such nonsense), or they have nice positions in which they're producing little, a name on a webpage, all pixel. Like most of the profession, once we have achieved a certain level, many of us die a figurative death. We continue to breathe, theoretically, but professionally we have become the embodiment of a certain sort of social parasite.
In my fields in particular, this final resting place is one that is deeply political. If I were to look at the range of people in my areas of research and teaching expertise, the ones who landed the plum jobs or had early articles or clawed their way to the top, were also the ones who, to a certain extent, worked for it. And not in some snarky CHE sort of way, but rather in terms of the desire to succeed at any cost. I have commented on this particular sub-strata of homo academicus before, the Fine Young Cannibal. And I have always felt bereft in front of their dazzling skills (not to mention gleaming fangs), the dedicated talent at leaving no ass unkissed in their rush for their positions and name recognition. But tonight, I remembered that the profession is not only the terror-induced adrenaline rush of the probationary period, the desperate grasping at the keys to tenure. Rather, it is (also) a longer race, a deeper challenge.
The probationary period and its unpleasant rigours has distracted many academics of my generation from the real struggle, which is ultimately the task of maintaining a vital and dynamic intellectual and teaching life beyond the tenure finish line. This tends to be true across disciplinary and interdisciplinary boundaries, and is also a relatively familiar trial. It is not by accident that we have, for our use, the term Dead Wood. Also, the dangerous depression that many academics face immediately after receiving tenure is indicative of this struggle. And that is why, tonight, instead of self-loathing, I felt curiously relieved.
Yes, my book(s) remains undone. Yes, I have devoted too much time to teaching and service and not enough to professional rimming. Yes, I never had the interest to fuck my way to the middle, and yes, perhaps I had better things to do than the relentless slogging that our professional coaches recommend in print and conversation. The truism of Arbeit Macht Frei in our profession has some chilling dimensions that are stifling, if not down right dangerous. My summers and free time were spent travelling, or reading, or staring into the air, thinking and reading what I wanted rather than what I should, or hours wasted spent talking and socialising with people I wanted to, rather than those I should have. (Flashback: a dinner with Paul Gilroy just as his star was rising, years ago. I was a first-year graduate student, unfamiliar with his work, and said nothing. Later, chastised by a colleague for my silence, I shrugged. I had, frankly, nothing to say.)
Yet, all this wasted time was not for naught. It has contributed to the longer term, to the intellectual and academic I am. Intellectual life is like tending a garden. True gardeners plant with an eye towards the future: this sage here will complement the bougainvillea, and fill in the space in front of the Cana. Any of us can plop ferns in the sun or marigolds in the shade, straight out of the pot. They look nice for a few weeks, but then die. Poorly placed, a disregard for their natures, instant gratification instead of building (a mystery). Similarly, the professional pace I have been keeping has not necessarily landed me in academic nirvana, but it has provided me with experience and expertise, space for reflection, bad times and good times, and the slow percolation of ideas and projects that are ripening and maturing. This is also generally true of other academics of my generation who I respect. They too are tending their gardens, learning the structures of the institution, and writing, just slowly, deeply, with care instead of flash. Learning their craft the old fashioned way, as instructive as the difference between Nina Simone and Brittany Spears, between mastery and pastiche.
As I closed my browser on the past, I felt hopeful, optimistic, not necessarily at the misfortune, the wonderful and horrible lives of formerly famous (or soon to be formerly famous) colleagues, although that is always a nice touch, but rather at the realisation that there is more than one way to skin a rabbit. Remembering that, in the face of the relentless and vicious propaganda that indicates otherwise, might save some of us from ending up exactly where we don't want to be: moribund, self-satisfied, uncurious, stultifyingly cynical, self-involved and distant. I would rather have had the indeterminacy and constant questioning, and yes, controversy and resultant displacement into academic Siberia, that has characterised some of my time in the profession than a set of slogans and a polite audience that applauded at all the right moments, an airless sinecure, left to rot. That's not an intellectual life, that's a museum-quality death.
How we come to believe that this state of dusty irrelevancy is what we have been working towards, what we should want, tells us quite a lot about the current moment in academia.

Great piece, Master Gardener. My little contribution to this discussion comes from the only dictionary that doesn't cease to amaze me, The Devil's Dictionary by Ambroise Bierce.

Thanks for this bit of perspective. Well-timed, too, as I am getting ready to apply to grad school and at some point in the process of deciding on programs and studying for the gre and trying to write a personal statement I had lost sight of why. I was starting to get a grasp on things again and it's always nice to have some affirmation (and knowledge that one can maintain that perspective into the big bad world of academia).

You know what the best part of that horrible "getting tenure is exercise" CHE piece is? That it inspired so many wonderful, thoughtful responses (or at least serves as a contrast piece to meditations like yours).
What I said at profgrrrl's is true for your essay, too: this should be required reading for all untenured faculty.
How inspiring. I can't wait to start working today :)

Good post. However, keep in mind all the academic frauds we have in putatively 'respectable' positions.
They do not accept their role as humble tillers of the soil. Instead, they create elaborate illusions of their own erudition. This is a much sadder version than what you describe. I know of one who lies about academic rank on their web pages. This is beyond pathetic. So, things could be much worse. At least you describe an honest situation (we assume -- many fictions appear on blogs, see my comments above for examples).
Peace, friend.

Thank you, this is excellent. I continue to be frustrated with the forced hot-house flowering of most material just to follow the seasonal fashions of the tenure clock. I am so tired of the race always going to the swift.

What is folic acid?
Folic acid is vital for the formation of red blood cells, DNA synthesis and for protein metabolism, and for the prevention of neural tube defects in the developing foetus during early pregnancy.
Neural tube defects
The neural tube in a developing foetus eventually becomes the baby's spinal cord, brain and the bones that surround them. Neural tube defects occur very early in pregnancy - often before you even know you're pregnant - and the defect describes anything that causes problems in neural tube development.
Neural tube defects can produce a range of disabilities, the most common being a loss of bladder and bowel control, although the more serious conditions, spina bifida and anencephaly, are also neural tube defects.
Spina bifida affects the formation of the lower spine and often results in partial paralysis, while anencephaly occurs when the brain doesn't form properly.
Folic acid taken before conception and during the first few weeks of pregnancy can prevent seven out of ten cases of neural tube defects - over 600 pregnancies in Australia every year are affected by neural tube defects.
Recent research has shown that 7 out of 10 cases of neural tube defects can be prevented by increasing your intake of folate, or folic acid ,for a least one month before and continuing for the first three months of pregnancy.
How much folic acid do I need?
Although folate is found in many foods - dark leafy green vegetables and whole grains being excellent sources - it is difficult to accurately measure the amount of folic acid you are receiving each day as the vitamin is affected by the way in which foods are cooked and stored.
Women of child-bearing age need 0.4 - 0.5 mg of folate daily, and taking a folate supplement is the easiest way to ensure you receive the correct amount each day. Even women who aren't planning to fall pregnant should take a folic acid supplement as many pregnancies are unplanned.
As the foetus's neural tube forms and closes in the first four to six weeks of pregnancy, it's important that folate is taken at least a month before you plan to fall pregnant and that it is then continued for the first weeks of pregnancy.
Folate rich foods
Folic acid is found in most plant foods but is particularly plentiful in green leafy vegetables (such as green beans, green peas, spinach and cabbage). It is also found in wholegrain breads, cereals (many commercially made breakfast cereals are fortified with folate) and legumes.
Liver is also a rich source of folate but as it also has high levels of vitamin A, it isn't recommended for pregnant women.
Because folic acid is destroyed with cooking and prolonged storage, it's best to eat fruit and vegetables fresh and raw, and only lightly steam those that need cooking.
1000 micrograms = 1 milligram
To satisfy the daily folate requirements of 0.4 - 0.5mg, you need to consume between 400 and 500 micrograms of folate a day.
|Excellent folate sources
100 - 400 micrograms per serve
|Very good folate sources
50 - 100 micrograms per serve
|Good folate sources
25 - 50 micrograms per serve
Sources include VIC Government's Better Health.

Doctor of Education in Instructional Leadership
In their own words
Our students constantly affirm their appreciation for their experiences in the doctoral program. Here are some of their thoughts about the opportunities they are afforded:
The program was extremely beneficial for me as a leader and a researcher. The coursework was not only applicable and rigorous, but also provided direct connections to the workplace. The faculty presented material in a challenging way, but also provided support when needed. I have been able to use so much in this program in my current role as an instructional leader. The program has provided me with many new skills necessary for success as a leader. The success of this program is attributed to the dedicated faculty and the cohort model, which provides students with opportunities to collaborate on ideas, projects, and research. Dr. Christopher Longo, Cohort 3
As a lifelong learner and educator, I found the program as the vehicle to develop my leadership skills and knowledge. The program was challenging, yet doable. I learned how to stretch beyond my comfort zone and grow as a leader as I collaborate with my classmates and as I work closely with the faculty. The faculty's leadership contributes to the success of the program for me and many others. Reine Issa, Cohort 4
The WCSU doctoral program in instructional leadership combines high quality instruction with engaging coursework and a personable staff. The best part about the program is the people - the other students, the alumni and the professors. The workload is extremely challenging but absolutely manageable. The professors want to see everyone be successful so they are happy to work with students to create the most positive environment possible. We have had people with very busy professional and personal lives successfully complete the program - so if we can do it, so can you! All of the readings and assignments can be related to teaching and administrative jobs so you truly feel that you are doing authentic, real world learning not just busy work. I highly recommend the program to anyone interested in furthering their education and themselves. Jessica Galbraith, Cohort 4

The Walt Disney World resort has made a formal announcement detailing the entertainment and attraction Grand Openings for the Summer 2016.
Although several dates were already internally announced, the full line-up has now been publicly confirmed with exact dates:
Disney's Animal Kingdom will debut several exciting new guest offerings starting Friday, May 27. The Tree of Life will begin its nighttime awakenings after the sun goes down each evening. But as the sun sets the fun will heat up on Discovery Island, where two new parties – Harambe Wildlife Parti and Discovery Island Carnivale – will add fun, music and entertainment to the night. And the park will also begin extending its operating hours into the evening to allow guests to experience their favorite Disney's Animal Kingdom attractions, like Kilimanjaro Safaris and Expedition Everest, in a whole new light. Two new F&B locations, Tiffins restaurant and Nomad Lounge, will also open their doors for business. (Make your attraction plans now in the My Disney Experience App. Reservations for Tiffins will open Saturday, May 21).
On Saturday, May 28, Disney's Animal Kingdom will debut the new "The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic" water show, which will retell the tale of Baloo and Mowgli on Discovery River each night. FastPass+ will be available for the show and can be booked through the My Disney Experience app starting Saturday, May 21.
And even more summer fun is on the way to the Walt Disney World Resort in June. Magic Kingdom Park will debut a brand-new stage show called "Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire" on June 17. In it, Mickey and his band of Merry Makers are preparing to host a joyous festival and bring friends Tiana, Naveen and Louis (from "Princess and the Frog"); Rapunzel and Flynn (from "Tangled"); and Olaf, Anna and Elsa (from "Frozen"); to the Castle Forecourt Stage to join in on the celebration.
On June 17, Disney's Hollywood Studios will make theme park history when it launches the most elaborate nighttime spectacular the park has ever seen with the new "Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular" fireworks show. This new nightly show will combine fireworks and pyrotechnics with video projections that will turn the surrounding buildings into familiar Star Wars destinations. The show will end with a tower of fire and spotlight beams that create massive lightsabers in the sky. Showtimes will appear in the My Disney Experience app as soon as they are available.
And don't forget, beginning Memorial Day weekend, even more guests will be able to experience Toy Story Mania with the addition of a third track.
Epcot will welcome Soarin' Around the World on June 17. A new version of the popular attraction located in The Land pavilion will debut to take guests on a journey to far-flung lands, over some of the world's most unique natural landscapes and man-made wonders.

Simple Wedding Dress
Added Sep 17, 2011
by erdronen
Cincinnati, Ohio...
This summer I had the pleasure of making my sister's wedding dress! It was such a fantastic experience, and so much pressure knowing that it had to be perfect.
She had the wedding on her organic farm in Cincinnati (if you're around, check out Finn Meadows Farm in Montgomery), so she wanted something simple and comfortable. She picked an embroidered cotton from JoAnn's who classified it as an "eyelet", but it doesn't have any actual eyelets. It's beautiful fabric, though! I started with two different patterns and modified the heck out of them, so much so that it doesn't really even matter that I started with a pattern… She knew what she wanted, so that's what I made her. I used a voile (very very lightweight) to both underline and line the dress. It has a waistband (covered with her ribbon) and small train, which we bustled for the reception. She wanted something convertible (to knee length), but we didn't have nearly enough time to create it. I also matched the fabric at the waistband seams which was quite an adventure :)
I'm so so happy with how it turned out! It fit her almost perfectly, which was the point with such a simple dress, really. I think we did about 6 fittings to get it right.
Also, because I know that I would want to see more (but maybe I'm just a wedding junkie), I included a pic of the reception setting and the bridesmaids (I made my own dress, and my mom made my other 2 sisters'). Sorry, I have no better pictures of them yet, but when I do I will post them.

As most people who've read the blog know, I don't use scripts; I use the classic cartoon method of writing the details of the story with drawings on storyboards. My writers are all cartoonists and animators. Of course, not all cartoonists have story ability but the ones who do write the best cartoons because they understand what works when you have to draw every frame of the story.
Mike Kerr, one of my funniest story partners will be joining me on stage to conduct a "gag session".
Their may be around 80 people in the audience, so I wouldn't be able to personally spend time withe every artist, so I'm trying to figure out a way in advance to maybe see some of your work and select a few funny cartoonists.
I will do another post with some links to storyboards I've done and character designs and descriptions.
Maybe we can get 2 or 3 cartoonist units together and each unit can storyboard a section of a different story.
If you wanna do some sketches and upload them to a blog or web site to show, put an (active) link in the comments to this post. If I think you have story potential, I may select you and give you a heads up on a rough story idea to start sketching up. Or if you already are familiar with my characters, you can suggest your own story or gag idea. - REMEMBER - DO IT WITH DRAWINGS, NOT JUST TEXT.

An initiative created by the Saola Working Group of IUCN's Species Survival Commission (SSC) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Greater Mekong Programme has removed and destroyed 26,651 snares from the forests of Viet Nam and Laos that are home to the rare and elusive Saola.
Listed as Critically Endangered on The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, the greatest threat to the Saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) are snares that are set for other wildlife in the forests along the border of Viet Nam and Laos, the only place in the world where this species is found. Although Saola have a low value in the wildlife trade, the snares that are set for more valuable animals are indiscriminate.
To tackle this threat, the SSC Saola Working Group worked with their partner WWF Greater Mekong Programme to develop an initiative to privately fund, train and supervise forest guards hired from the local community. WWF implemented this scheme in 2011 in the Hue Saola Nature Reserve, Viet Nam and later expanded it to two more sites: a reserve in Quang Nam Province, Viet Nam and another in Laos. Between February 2011 and September 2012 a total of 19,593 snares were collected from these sites. In addition, data collected by WWF shows that the snare encounter rate has dropped indicating that the forests guides are successful at removing snares and keeping them out of the forests.
In Laos, a similar project has been established by another IUCN SSC Saola Working Group partner, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Despite funding constraints that force the project to operate on a smaller scale, patrol teams have been established in the new Phou Sithone Endangered Species Conservation Area established by Bolikhamxay Province specifically to protect Saola. Between September 2011 and November 2012 the patrols collected 7,058 snares.
Described as the most concrete on-the-ground result for Saola conservation since the species' scientific discovery 20 years ago, these efforts have removed a total of 26,651 snares, saving the lives of Saola and other wildlife in the region.

All thangkas are HD.
To enjoy the beauty of art by touching.Over hundreds of HD beautiful thangka photos,you can see more details of these awesome Artworks.Use two finger to zoom in or zoom out. Also can save to photo albumen set as a wallpaper.Also can view thangka offline.
Thangka is a Tibetan silk painting with embroidery, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala of some sort. The thankga is not a flat creation like an oil painting or acrylic painting but consists of a picture panel which is painted or embroidered over which a textile is mounted and then over which is laid a cover, usually silk. Generally, thangkas last a very long time and retain much of their lustre, but because of their delicate nature, they have to be kept in dry places where moisture won't affect the quality of the silk. It is sometimes called a scroll-painting.

One Powerball Winner From Ocean County Comes Forward
One of the 16 county employees from Ocean County who are sharing their portion of Wednesday's $448 million annuity Powerball jackpot has come forward.
Sue Nichel of Eagleswood who put $6 in the Ocean County Vehicle Service Department's Powerball pool, told WCAU TV she is "numb" about winning. "I can't even imagine what will happen in the next few months."
She and her co-workers did what they usually do when the Powerball jackpot grows: they get together and buy tickets at the Acme supermarket in Little Egg Harbor.
"They all got to work before me and they had checked the tickets that were in our bottom drawer, because you know, nobody ever thinks they're going to win," she told WPVI TV. "I didn't believe them. And then my co-worker Elaine came out and shook me and said, 'We did win!'"
The only plan she's made is for her husband to retire "because he's worked hard for a long time," she told WCAU TV. Nickel plans to stay on the job for another year-and-a-half.
Nichel was hard hit by Superstorm Sandy and says the money will help with her own recovery. "We had seven feet of water during Sandy but we're very lucky, very fortunate," she said. "We cleaned out a lot of stuff, and we're just starting to regain. This money will really help us."
The group plans to present their ticket early next week to the New Jersey Lottery and had asked their managers not to reveal their identities. Each winning ticket was worth $86 million before taxes, or $58.3 million after taxes, if taken in a lump sum. They are worth $149.4 million over 30 years if the winners choose the annuity option.
Another winner from the group, a man, was photographed by the New York Post pumping gas. He wouldn't identify himself but told the newspaper, "It's exciting, I'm in disbelief," he said. "[Hearing about the win], you obviously think someone is playing a joke on you."
The manager of the Little Egg Harbor Acme told WCAU TV the store will donate it's $10,000 they received for selling one of 3 winning tickets to charity in the form of gift cards.
There were 3 winning tickets sold for Wednesday's drawing. The buyer of a ticket purchased at the Stop and Shop in South Brunswick remains anonymous while a winner in Minnesota has come already claimed his prize.
