Passport basics:
Determine if you'll need a visa:
Try the U.S. State Department, or your home country's embassy
Then ask these questions:
International students and visas:
Non-U.S. citizens returning to the U.S. after travel can run into complications, so begin the visa process early
Print and take your International SOS and health insurance cards
Understand your health insurance coverage
Know you're covered!
Don't make assumptions about what will be covered!
Start with these resources:
Learn about:
See to your cash needsTell your bank and credit card companies that you'll be traveling
Clean out your wallet or purse
Find out if traveler's checks are a viable option or if you should rely on a debit card and ATMs to obtain cash
Share a copy of your itinerary with family or a friendProvide them with a copy of your passport data page and any visas as well. This will make it easier for them to contact you in an emergency
Schedule a consultation:
Schedule a travel consultation with Einstein Faculty Practice or your personal physician 6-8 weeks before you depart. Obtain a printout of your immunization record from Occupational Health (219-Mazer, 718.430.3141, and you should make an appointment with a physician who does travel medicine in order to obtain medical advice, vaccinations, and prescription for medications.
This can be done at the Einstein Faculty Practice at the Montefiore Medical Park, 1515 Blondell Avenue, appointment line 866.633.8255. Dr. Theresa Madaline is available for travel appointments at Montefiore Medical Park. Schedule your appointment at least 6-8 weeks in advance of the date of departure. All of the foregoing medical services are provided free of charge at Einstein (co-payments if provided elsewhere) if you have been approved for a fellowship award. Co-payments are reimbursed for required travel medications.
Schedule your appointment early; many immunizations are given in a series over time
Make sure to discuss:

As to be expected, I've taken a significant loss in a number of things that I've tried to sell. Not because of forgetting to do my homework, I've learned the hard way not to forget that part. I took a loss because I have very little to base my guess work on. And it wasn't until much later on that I discovered a few clues that would suggest avoiding a certain item. That being said, let me give you the full list of things that I have not sold or sold very few of so far. Anything that has sold came with a monetary cost that was not made back from sales to date.
Ornate steel choker
Gold gorget
Gold chain
Night iron gauntlets
Fine leather leggings
Plaited cinerium ring
Shining sapphire ring
Heartless ring
Reinforced leather helm
Reinforced leather belt
Each of the above items cost me two things. First is the obvious monetary investment it took to craft them. Sure I can RB them to try and recoup it, but that would be such a small fraction of the final cost that it's not even worth taking into account. I also don't have a toon that can use them so that is also not relevant. The second thing that I took a loss on was the tokens it cost to learn the recipe itself. That means time which is infinitely more valuable than the gold.
Each recipe took at least two daily of full dailys to get enough tokens for which could have been spent more wisely on something else that might (or might not) have sold. Like I always say, time is the most important thing you can invest because you cannot get more and cannot regain what you have lost.
Bear in mind though I am in no way saying that the professions that make these things are worthless themselves, far from it. I am only pointing out a few things that you should be avoiding unless you have nothing else better to spend your tokens on and have some decent cash that you can afford to throw in the gutter. While it is true that this can happen with anything on your shard, these are a few items that I know for a fact are not working out on mine and are very likely the same on yours.
As time goes on and I continue to experiment with different things to craft and sell I'll be writing more and more entries like this I'm sure. Once again there is little to no way to base your markets on. That is yet another reason that reading fine blogs such as mine is important even if you're already well off, you never know when a big loss is waiting around the corner. And the flip side of course is true, you never know if there's a fortune waiting right under your nose until somebody points it out to you. That's what I'm here for after all, to enlighten and to entertain.
I'm still looking for the markets that have a high rate of consistent sales because that's where you need to be if you want to get rich anytime this century. So far the closest I've found is bags, but their profit margins are so low it's still going to take a while with them. Then there is the "death and taxes" profession of rune crafting. I refer to it as such because the only two thing you can't avoid in life are death and taxes. Any time you get a new piece of gear you can't avoid heading to a RC to add some shine to it. But with the campers that farm for free that isn't an option either. So here's to searching!
Thanks for stopping by!

Customers AND content drive revenue growth for platform companies
Content is foundational to platform companies' business value and content operations are critical to their success. Despite this importance, most have focused on customers and customer engagement when trying to maximize business performance. Now the tides are shifting. In a future where content continues to evolve and expand, platform companies must also think about maximizing the value of every piece of content that resides on their platform. And, as with customers, not all content has equal value.
The net value of content is a function of four levers
The quality of the content in the inventory
The costs associated with managing it
The utility that the platform drives from the content
The speed with which it is published
The four-lever equation provides perspective on ways to maximize the overall content value on the platform. But, platform companies need to recognize one more aspect to take this to the next level: just as customers are not equal, neither is content. Some content—either a content type, or from a particular source, or on a particular topic—drives inherently more utility on their platform. If the other value levers can be managed successfully, then that content will, by definition, be more valuable.
Download our latest POV to see how companies can segment and prioritize content to maximize its lifetime value.

Southwest wheat producers got a glimmer of hope for a crop that has suffered under a long drought since early fall as rain and frozen precipitation moved through much of the area in early March. They may need more.
Precipitation is sorely needed, says Gaylon Morgan, Texas Extension wheat specialist in College Station.
"I'm not certain how much rain we got but before it started the overall wheat crop was not in good shape," he says.
Morgan says the latest crop conditions report from the National Ag Statistics Service shows the Texas crop as:
· 1 percent excellent
· 9 percent good
· 27 percent fair
· 32 percent poor
· 31 percent very poor
"If we can get some moisture in the Rolling Plains and High Plains relatively quickly and have a decently cool, moist spring, then decent yield potential still exists. However, a rain in the next few weeks is critical," he says.
"Stand is poor from Abilene up to Lubbock. And wheat that is up is only at a two- to three-leaf stage. It should be much further along by now."
Morgan says he traveled through that area recently and saw few stocker cattle in wheat pastures. "We normally see a lot." He says farmers are holding off on late winter management decisions until they see conditions improve. "Farmers are not applying fertilizer but are waiting for rain."
He says if farmers in the High Plains "do not get rain soon conditions will continue to deteriorate."
Wheat in the Blacklands and along the Gulf Coast is faring better than in other areas. "We see fairly decent wheat in the Blacklands." Farmers along the Gulf Coast are also optimistic. "We're picking up some diseases, but farmers can justify fungicide applications at current prices."
Futures contracts have been trading from $11.50 to $12 a bushel.
Northeast Texas wheat also looks promising. "Growers in this area have pretty good yield potential."
He says wheat farmers in the Blacklands areas typically make good yields in dry years.
"Yields in the Rolling Plains and High Plains depend on moisture over the next month. Potential is still there if they get rain."
Morgan says farmers with irrigation capability can "baby the crop along a little more."
If conditions remain dry through March he anticipates much of the Plains wheat acreage will be abandoned and planted in either cotton or grain sorghum.
Oklahoma's main wheat production area received more than 1 inch of rain the first weekend in March. Western counties bordering on Texas did not receive rain. Also, moisture the last weekend in February made a significant improvement in the Oklahoma wheat outlook, according to reports from Oklahoma State University.
Agronomists say recent rains will help the crop break dormancy. Field reports indicate growers have applied fertilizer and other management practices to increase yield potential.
Yield projections are for an average yield, with best case around 130 million bushels. More conservative estimates put production at 110 million bushels, still up from the 98 million-bushel 2007 crop.
Volunteer wheat infestations are causing problems in many wheat fields that appear to be in good shape. Those volunteer plants could make the crop too dense and reduce yield potential.
Crop observers also say thin stands likely will have weed problems.

As a member of the Budget Committee in Tiverton, it has come to my attention that one employee is working under, in my estimation, a currently expired agreement signed originally May 7, 2012.
As a member of the Budget Committee in Tiverton, it has come to my attention that one employee is working under, in my estimation, a currently expired agreement signed originally May 7, 2012.
Here are the facts of this agreement. The employee is a clerk in the planner's office. The planner gave up his position sometime in 2012. The Town Council made an agreement with said employee called an "interim employment agreement" that states, "This process is projected to last no longer than six calendar months from the date of this agreement."
The agreement goes on to say, "This agreement will automatically and immediately terminate with the hiring of a new town planner, or a decision by the Town Council not to hire a full-time town planner."
While the position was being advertised and before hiring a planner, the employee carries out the planner duties two days a week for a salary of $260 a day, as well as her clerk duties three days a week.
There were no required stated work hours or product.
Here is where the problem lies. First, the employee as a clerk is in a union. The employee as the planner is not in a union. This employee as a clerk reports to the planner who is her boss — ergo she is her own boss.
The Town Council, even though the Budget Committee provided the funds in the 2012-2013 budget for a planner of $67,600, did not hire a planner. Thus, the employee is working under the same agreement, which appears to have expired six months after signing or November 2012. Where did the $67,600, go you say? Why did they not hire a planner, you say? Why did they laugh at me at a joint Budget Committee and Town Council meeting when I brought this to their attention? The new town administrator was appraised of this and is reluctant to take any action.
These are the kind of things the taxpayers should know about, where our tax dollars are being spent with crazy deals like this. They did discuss this agreement at a few of the Town Council meetings but not the dollar amount she would be getting, ergo no transparency to the public.
The town, after much embarrassment as of late because of questionable employee activities, was able to make a few changes, but there needs to be more attention to details here to prevent any future embarrassments, more accountability where our money is going, more accountability that what is said will be done.
Please remember this when you vote in November. Four of the current councilors were on the previous council that made up this agreement. They were asleep at the wheel obviously. We do not need leadership like this, in my opinion.

In the first chapters of the seminal Appalachian Trail travelogue A Walk in the Woods, Bill Bryson talks about the books he read leading up to his journey. Apparently, he mostly read about bears.
Following Bryson's lead, I thought I'd share what I've been reading as I prepare for my homeless week. I just finished a book by Mike Yankoski called Under the Overpass (Multnomah Publishers, 2005). Mike did basically the same thing I'll be doing, except that he was on the streets for five months in six different cities.
I took a few things away from it:
1. It's best not to be alone out there. Mike's a pretty big guy, but even he had a friend along for safety's sake.
2. Panhandling is hit-and-miss, even when you play an instrument. I think this will be especially true in Columbia, which — despite the ever-so-inviting "Famously Hot" ad campaign — is by no means a tourist town.
3. For Christians, like Mike and me, there's no excuse for not helping the homeless. He described several run-ins with churchgoing folks that raised that clever old question: How can you worship a homeless man on Sunday and ignore one on Monday?
4. Very quickly, my life will become all about securing the bare necessities: food, water, shelter, a place to go to the bathroom, maybe a shower and a change of clothes. That seems obvious enough, but Mike writes about how the constant struggle to obtain those things redefined his dignity and self-respect.
Today, I started reading a book by Adam Shepard called Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25, and the Search for the American Dream (HarperCollins, 2008). After graduating from college, the author decided to test out the idea that anyone can pull himself up from poverty with enough elbow grease. To do this, he took a train to Charleston, S.C., with $25 in his pocket and checked into a shelter.
He gave himself one year to get a car, an apartment, $2,500 in cash, and a reasonable chance of career advancement without using his degree or connections. In the introduction, he admits his optimism — he thought it could be done.
I tend to agree with him. On the other hand, I've met enough hard-working poor people to have my doubts. Most of the great rags-to-riches stories involve extraordinarily talented individuals — artists, politicians, salesmen, athletes. But what if you've got nothing and you're ordinary? Do you still have a shot?
What do you think? Do you believe in what James Truslow Adams called "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement"?

The lawsuit in Montgomery federal court seeks to overturn Alabama's bans on the recognition of same-sex marriages legally performed in other states. Plaintiff Paul Hard and David Fancher, both of Montgomery, were married in 2011. Three months later, Fancher was killed in a car accident. Hard says hospital staff initially refused to speak with him, and Fancher's death certificate says he died unmarried. Hard is also not recognized as the surviving spouse in a wrongful death lawsuit.

A man has been charged in connection to a fatal shooting this weekend in Leavenworth, a prosecution official said.
A man has been charged in connection to a fatal shooting this weekend in Leavenworth, a prosecution official said.
Justin M. Driscoll, 26, Leavenworth, made his first appearance Monday afternoon in Leavenworth County District Court for a charge of involuntary manslaughter, according to County Attorney Todd Thompson.
Driscoll was arrested Saturday afternoon in connection to the shooting death of Dick Mathis.
Mathis, 30, died Saturday morning in Leavenworth. He was shot while he was a passenger in a pickup truck in the area of 18th and Cherokee streets, according to Maj. Dan Nicodemus, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department.
Police were called at 2:41 a.m. Saturday after two people brought Mathis to Saint Luke's Cushing Hospital after he'd been shot.
Mathis reportedly was shot in the chin by a bullet from a 9 mm handgun.
Mathis, Driscoll and two other men had been traveling in an extended cab pickup truck when the gun discharged, wounding Mathis, according to Nicodemus sand Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens. Police aren't releasing many other details regarding the circumstances of the shooting.
"We're not willing to talk about it at this time," Nicodemus said.
He said the case is still under investigation.
According to the complaint document used to charge Driscoll, the alleged crime involved reckless behavior.
One of the four men who was present at the time of the shooting apparently was not with Mathis when he was taken to the hospital. But Driscoll was one of the people who took Mathis to the hospital, according to Kitchens.
Driscoll was arrested around 4:15 p.m. Saturday, according to Nicodemus.
While in court Monday, Driscoll requested to have a court-appointed attorney.
Court records indicate KiAnn McBratney has been appointed his attorney.
Driscoll is next scheduled to appear in court Wednesday morning.

Behind Beckham, Viciedo, White Sox break out of slump in 8-2 rout of Giants
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
CHICAGO – Gordon Beckham and Dayan Viciedo hit two-run home runs, John Danks pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the Chicago White Sox snapped a four-game losing streak with an 8-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
The slumping White Sox had managed a total of six runs in their previous four games.
Viciedo, who was just 2 for 23 on the homestand before Tuesday, went 2 for 4. His fifth-inning blast ended a stretch of 51 at-bats without an RBI.
Danks (6-5) settled down after a somewhat slow start and gave up two runs — one earned — and five hits in 6 1-3 innings. In his last five starts, the left-hander is 3-1 with a 1.51 ERA.
Hunter Pence went 2 for 4 with a home run for the Giants, who have dropped four straight and seven of eight. Giants starter Matt Cain (1-5) allowed eight runs — seven earned — and 10 hits in five innings.

Pocono Township officials continue to research whether one of its supervisors can keep a job in its Department of Public Works.
Pocono Township officials continue to research whether one of its supervisors can keep a job in its Department of Public Works.
Frank Hess, chairman of the township's Board of Supervisors, said lawyers are researching whether Supervisor Harold Werkheiser still has a position in the department after he was removed as department director Jan. 7.
In the meantime, Supervisor Henry Bengel, who took over Werkheiser's position, said Werkheiser showed up to work Monday. But Bengel said he did not give him any assignments while the attorneys hash out the situation.
"If the attorneys tell me to bring him back, that's certainly what I'll do," Bengel said.
Hess said he couldn't comment further because of the involvement of the lawyers for both sides.
"I just want to do whatever we have to do to make this right," Hess said. "I'd rather us not spend the (legal costs), nor make them spend them, on this, when we could have had a cup of coffee and settled this."
Werkheiser, a 19-year-veteran of the department, had been the department's director for five years. On Jan. 7, the township's Board of Supervisors voted to elevate Bengel to the position — in essence firing Werkheiser. Bengel voted for himself in the 2-1 vote.
However, Werkheiser claims there was an agreement in place under a previous administration allowing him to return to the union if he should ever lose his position as director of the department.
At the Jan. 7 meeting, he did not produce that agreement. Former supervisors at the meeting, including longtime Supervisor Jane Cilurso, also claimed it existed. Hess said township Solicitor Jeffrey Durney is researching whether the agreement exists.
Neither Durney nor Werkheiser's representative, attorney Jennifer Wise, returned messages for comment Thursday.
Bengel had said he was requesting a salary of $72,000 with no benefits. He said it is less than the township paid for Werkheiser's services of about $78,000, including benefits. Without benefits, Werkheiser's base salary was $58,000.
In the meantime, Werkheiser has requested that his appointed position of assistant secretary/treasurer be a full-time, paid position with benefits.
Jennifer Wise spoke for Werkheiser at a recent meeting of the township's Board of Auditors to make that argument. However, the board decided not to take action on the request, and instead chose to hire a lawyer to help guide it through the muddled process.

No, Guitar Hero Doesn't Infringe On Gibson's Patent
from the good-news dept
It took almost a year, but Colin Ross points out that, earlier this year, a California court didn't just toss out the lawsuit against Activision, but told Gibson that the lawsuit "bordered on the frivolous." This was especially true of Gibson's claim (I kid you not) that "the '405 Patent covers any system where a user controls something 'musical' with any device." Yes, really. The court wasted little time smacking down that idea:
By arguing that any sound made by any controller can potentially be musical, Gibson would have everything in the world -- from the buttons of a DVD remote, to a pencil tapping a table -- be an 'actual musical instrument' within the '405 Patent....The lawsuits against the retailers and other companies associated with the game are still ongoing, but hopefully will be tossed out on similar grounds shortly.
No reasonable person of ordinary skill in the relevant arts would interpret the '405 Patent as covering interactive video games.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today announced his appointments of Interim Police Chief Jim Peschong and Interim Fire Chief John Huff to City Director positions. Peschong was named to the interim position in May 2011 when former Police Chief Tom Casady was named Public Safety Director to oversee the Lincoln Police Department (LPD), Lincoln Fire and Rescue (LFR) and 911 Emergency 911 Communications. Huff has been Interim Fire Chief since April 2011.
"The new management model has accomplished just what we hoped it would," Mayor Beutler said. "We have better coordination among Fire, Police and 911 resulting in cost savings. New ideas are emerging to provide better service. The new model will continue to provide the highest levels of efficiency and cooperation among our public safety agencies."
Both Peschong and Huff will retire from their current positions before their new appointments take effect. Because they will receive pension benefits, their salaries in the new positions will be 50 to 60 percent of their current salaries. Beutler said the amount of their annual defined benefit pension payouts was subtracted from their current salaries to determine their new salaries.
"It was important to this administration, and John and Jim concurred, that it would not be acceptable to have them retire and draw a City pension, and then be rehired and draw a salary comparable to what they are making today," Beutler said. "As much as we valued and wanted to keep these two men, that double-dipping did not seem appropriate."
Peschong's appointment will be effective February 2, 2013. He joined LPD as a beat officer in 1975, and his career has included work in internal affairs and as a detective, Captain and Assistant Chief. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy. His current salary is about $134,200, and his new salary will be about $68,400.
Huff's appointment will be effective September 7, 2012. He has worked for LFR since 1974 and has served as a firefighter, company officer Deputy Chief and Assistant Chief. He has been active in Nebraska Task Force 1, the Urban Search and Rescue Team based at LFR, and he has completed the National Fire Academy Executive Fire Officer Program. His current salary is about $137,700, and his new salary will be about $77,900.

Arianna Huffington Now Owns the Eighth Letter of the Alphabet
As you may have noticed, the Huffington Post's name begins with the letter "H." But don't say it! Because they've trademarked it. The letter, that is. So it's theirs now.
According to two filings with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the Huffington Post trademarked "H" in late December. One application kind of makes sense: It's for "the letter H inside a square with rounded corners," which does feature a distinctive design element that's recognizable as HuffPo's.
But the other one? "The mark consists of the letter H with a broad solid line below the H." (See the trademark filing at right.) So you can use an H if you like. You could even bold it or italicize it. But just don't underline it.

Norbert Yasharoff
Born: February 18, 1930
Sofia, Bulgaria
Norbert was born to a Jewish family in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia. His father, a prominent lawyer, was also active in the Jewish community, heading relief efforts for the city's Jewish orphans. Sofia was home to approximately half of Bulgaria's estimated 50,000 Jews during the mid-1930s.
1933-39: On September 1, 1939, while on a family vacation we heard over the radio that war [World War II] had begun. My parents exchanged worried glances; what would happen to us now? Bulgaria had close ties with the Germans and we were frightened. At the newsstand I saw antisemitic headlines appear for the first time in the papers speaking of the Jews' "international conspiracy." I asked my father to help me understand what was happening.
1940-44: In May 1943 my family was deported to Pleven in northern Bulgaria. It wasn't like the deportations we'd heard about; we lived with relatives and I even attended a public school. The Soviet army arrived on September 9, 1944. The Bulgarian partisans descended from the mountains and started rounding up town officials. I happened to be in the street so I helped. While the chief of police was held at gunpoint, I searched his pockets. I was shaking worse than the police chief.
Norbert finished high school in Sofia after the war. In 1948 he immigrated to Israel and later moved to the United States.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — On a last dash for cash in the celebrity scene of California, President Barack Obama on Sunday took a good-natured shot as his own underwhelming debate performance, marveling at how his friends in the entertainment business could turn in flawless showings every time.
"I can't always say the same," Obama told thousands of supporters, who got the joke right away. It was Obama's most direct acknowledgment that his Republican rival, Mitt Romney, won their debate on Wednesday as a tight race rolled into its last month.
Obama spoke at the start of two-day fundraising swing through California, his final one out West of this election, and one that was expected to raise several millions dollars for advertising efforts to the finish. He appeared on stage after comments by actor George Clooney and performances by Katy Perry, Stevie Wonder, Jon Bon Jovi — and before a night-capping dinner for 150 guests at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant at $25,000 per person.
The Republican presidential nominee, meanwhile, sought to build on the momentum from a debate performance last week that even Democrats conceded was "masterful." Campaigning in up-for-grabs Florida, Romney told a crowd of about 12,000 in Port St. Lucie that he had enjoyed himself, ticking off a list of Obama shortcomings he said he had exposed during the first debate.
"Now of course, days later, we're hearing his excuses," Romney said. "And next January we'll be watching him leave the White House for the last time."
As Romney finished speaking, someone in the crowd of supporters behind him held up a giant Israeli flag alongside smaller American flags, underscoring the amplified role that foreign affairs and the Middle East is playing as the presidential race draws to a close. Romney ended his day in Virginia, where on Monday he planned a major foreign policy address in which he will criticize Obama's handling of unrest in Libya and elsewhere.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki, dismissing what she called Romney's fourth or fifth attempt to explain his global intentions, said the bar is high for Romney to convince voters he's prepared to be commander in chief.
"We are not going to be lectured by someone who's been an unmitigated disaster on foreign policy every time he sticks his toe in the foreign policy waters," Psaki said aboard Air Force One as Obama made his way to California.
Even as Romney sought to reap further rewards from his debate performance, a string of good news for the president threatened to steal the former Massachusetts governor's spotlight.
A jobs report Friday showing unemployment at the lowest levels of Obama's presidency was quickly followed Saturday by a fundraising report showing Obama and Democrats had raised $181 million in September. It was their best fundraising month of the campaign, but fell short of their record $190 million raised in September 2008 as the president campaigned for his first term.
Romney's campaign has not released its report for the month, and Republicans sought to downplay Obama's financial advantage. The party's national chairman, Reince Priebus, said he had been counting all along on being outraised by Obama and Democrats.
"This isn't going to come down to money. This is going to come down to heart," Priebus said. "We'll beat them on the ground, and we'll have all the money we need to be competitive."
After trailing Romney in the money race for most of the summer, Obama is back on top and pulling out all the stops to keep it that way. In what will be his final fundraising trip out West this election, Obama is enlisting his celebrity pals — from actors to singers to chefs — to donate to his campaign and encourage their fans to do the same.
The president told about 6,000 supporters at the Nokia Theatre that he had bad days and made mistakes in the 2008 campaign, too, but nobody remembers that because he won.
"We goofed up. I goofed up," he said of 2008. "But the American people carried us forward."
He then moved onto late-night soiree at Puck's WP24 restaurant, which was expected to rake in $3.75 million. Former President Bill Clinton joined Obama earlier Sunday for a more intimate gathering with elite, longtime donors at the home of entertainment mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg.
As Obama played for California cash, his surrogates took to the talk shows to pound the theme that Romney's success in last week's debate was propped up entirely by dishonesty.
The president "was a little taken aback at the brazenness with which Gov. Romney walked away from so many of the positions on which he's run, walked away from his record," said David Axelrod, a top Obama strategist. "That's something we're going to have to make an adjustment for in these subsequent debates."
At the same time, Ann Romney was working to soften her husband's image, a frequent refrain as Romney's campaign seeks to broaden his support among centrist voters in the race's final weeks. Introducing her husband on Sunday, Mrs. Romney called him "a good and decent person" who had helped others throughout his life.
"Now we're going to get a chance for him to really care for others, because we're going to have the chance to see him get people back to work again," she said.
Both campaigns were prepping their running mates for Thursday's vice presidential debate — and working to keep expectations low lest their candidate underperform.
On Sunday Priebus called Vice President Joe Biden "a gifted orator," while former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., who challenged Romney in the GOP primary, suggested Paul Ryan would hold back on any hostility out of respect for Biden's status as a senior statesman.
Priebus spoke on CNN's "State of the Union." Axelrod spoke on CBS' "Face the Nation" and Gingrich on NBC's "Meet the Press."

why u no du a video about lady gaga
- little monster, 19 December 2011
BEAUTIFUL! Gaga is the greatest EVER.
- R. Shanaz Bowman, 28 July 2010
Lady Gaga has in a few years become a force to be reckoned with by the fashion world. Her "Haus of Gaga" is a group of creative, inspiring people responsible for her clothes on- and off-stage and her hairdos. Lady Gaga has an outspoken vision of fashion to be incorporated into her music.
"The Haus of Gaga" is clearly influenced by Andy Warhol's creative collective "The Factory". Gaga claims that the Haus is a way of her putting more effort into her performance, while staying in control.
For this sunday's Grammy Awards, Haus of Gaga's Nicola Formichetti announces that the crew will be taking a break and instead the perfermance will be in collaboration with the English/turkish fashion designer Hussein Chalyain.
The two Pacific Coast Harlequin dogs Lava and her son Rumpus have been heavily featured in Lady Gaga's videos since their first appearence in the "Poker Face" video.
Atso Kudo designs and manufactures a full range of ladies wear exclusively in latex rubber.Gaga made one of their red latex designs famous by wearing it to the 2009 Royal Variety Performance. The designs are truly something else.
The 25-year-old hatter Nasir Mazhar is obsesses by the history of headwear and sculptural forms. His pieces are architectural interventions.Gaga has worn his pieces in many of her videos, among them Poker Face and Alejandro.
The Haus of Gaga has been responsible for many of the Lady's creations. Examples are the Bubble Piano, the Razor Blade Glasses and the Disco Stick.
"The Fame: Part One" is a guerilla project made by the Haus of Gaga. The short film is a flirt with arty European movies. The film has a greyish tone, and Lady Gaga speaks fake-French. The film also features the two Pacific Coast Harlequins from the "Poker Face" video.
The un-official video for "Teeth" is made by Sergio Ceron. Sergio Ceron is a Mexican Visual Artist. His main subjects are Hyperrealism and Cyberconceptual Art. Sergio Ceron lives and works in Chicago, Illinois.
Matthew Michael Williams has been the creative director of many of the Haus' projects. Examples are Lady Gaga's tours The Fame Ball and The Monster Ball and the creation of the Disco Stick.
Designer Kerin Rose has quickly become one of the most popular designers of unique eyewear. She recently designed glasses to Gaga's latest music video Alejandro.
L.A.G. - Laurie-Ann Gibson, is the main choreographer of the Haus of Gaga. She has done the choreography for some elements of the tours, and for the videos Telephone and Bad Romance.
Nicola Formichetti is the Japanese/Italian stylist responsible for the amazing Alejandro video! He has also done the album covers for The Fame Monster and much more of the style related to Lady Gaga.

Sinkhole Develops in South Jersey
Crews are working to repair a sinkhole that apparently opened up overnight in a south Jersey town.
The Press of Atlantic City reports an Egg Harbor City police officer discovered the sinkhole early Thursday when he unknowingly drove his cruiser into the gaping hole on Ninth and Beethoven streets. The officer was not injured.
The discovery spurred city officials to shut off water service to dozens of homes and businesses in the city.
Officials say the sinkhole appears to be about 6 feet wide and 4 feet deep, but it's still not clear what caused it. It's also not known how long it will take to repair the sinkhole.

|The name stands firm in the deep German tradition of excellence. Our guitars feature more than style and appeal; they express our love for music and our intentions to provide you an instrument that will impact the history of music one player at a time.
|If you have joined the Doozy family already we thank you, and those who are just discovering us for the first time, we welcome you. Take sometime and see why so many of the top players in the world have joined our special Doozy family.
|German Pickup Engineering:
|Looking back in history we have seen some vintage pickups from the late 1950's and early 1960's really inspired the face of music, as we know it. We at Duesenberg have taken on the same challenge to produce our own identity and sound through the painstaking attention to visual and technical details. All enthusiasts know – that vintage is just that, vintage. So the question is why have we attracted many of the top players in the world who are known to play only vintage with a new guitar? One word, tone.
|At Duesenberg our production techniques allow us to meet the exact tolerances and meet the uniformity that ensures that you will be hearing the very best in tone. Each one of our pickups has been created by scratch, meaning, once we found that magic tone we locked it in. Many companies use other companies designed pickups in their product. To meet the Duesenberg standard we felt that the tone and the feel must not be compromised.
|We have developed our own "Printer Wound" computerized winding system that literally allows a hand winding process to be utilized on each pickup bobbin. This still retains uniformity of our production with the highest quality and lowest tolerances. The extra fine tolerances are achieved through "Elektrisola" a wire produced in Germany. The precision of this wire has a tighter tolerance than any U.S. or Asian wire manufacture. Maintaining the exact specified insulation thickness has allowed us to produce those classic pickups and also maintains the distinctive tone of Duesenberg.
|The key to this has been the influence on the capacity of the coil. A special so-called "soft iron" developed in Germany has incorporated the pole pieces along with the pole screws, providing a noticeable high harmonic content to the Duesenberg sound. This is all topped off with our base plates and covers and for this there is nothing better than German Nickel Silver. Nickel Silver has the least possible influence on the pickup values, and simultaneously achieving the optimum treble response while giving the best possible shielding.
|Duesenberg Grand Vintage Humbuckers and Domino P-90 Pickups:
|Our acclaimed Starplayer TV guitar model has this award winning combination pickups in it. This Doozy "Classic Sound" arsenal has already impacted many of the top songs and records around the world. Many musicians can identify this Doozy classic sound from the very first driving note. We have always felt that the best people to describe the Doozy tone are our family members. "My favorite electric guitar in the last 20 years" -Glenn Frey, The Eagles
|Duesenberg "Senior"- Pickup:
|"Sophisticated Design, Simple in Operation". Our new "Senior" single coil pickup with our special coil-tap construction is similar to a P90 – but with the new Doozy characteristics that will become much-loved to guitarist. When used in a single pickup guitar configuration the special coil-tap gives those glassy, pearly rhythm sounds and great leads tones. Giving you versatility in three different tones in one pickup in the most simplistic way. – "A true "Senior".
|Duesenberg D-Caster Single Coil Pickup:
|Quickly becoming a favorite, the D-Caster single coil meets that vintage tone for a single pickup. We use open nickel silver surroundings that gives you the best possible shielding and protection of the coil. Oh and did we mention that it sounds killer.
|Duesenberg V-Caster Pickup:
|These are the same single coil pickup bobbins housed in a regular "big" humbucker case. Making it easy to be dropped into a humbucker fitting without routing or any modifications.
|Duesenberg Toaster Pickup:
|Our new Mini Humbucker has made a impact with a handful of top players in the world. Giving you a new tasty sound to the Duesenberg line. The "Toaster" features a German Nickel Silver cover along with Alnico magnets to give you a wonderful "open" sound and that pearly like trebles. Other cool features to our Duesenberg Toaster are the classic dimensions (66×31.5mm) allowing you to simply replace your older classic German brands.
|Duesenberg Bass Toaster Pickup:
|Duesenberg's Bass Toaster design has an elegant arrangement that provides a double humbucking to our basses. Our new proprietary wiring achieves a very effective mid-range control that it totally passive giving you a wide range of tone for one instrument.
|Duesenberg 3-D Pickup Adjustment:
|We have designed all of our pickups to with the 3-D design. Adjusting pickups can be one of the most important things in finding your sound. We have placed screw adjustment on each end of the pickup plus we have added a third screw adjustment on the topside of the pickup, which incorporates a small cylinder. This allows you to raise and lower the pickup pitch angle, giving you more control of your pickup placement.
|Duesenberg Pots:
|Many in the industry are willing to sacrifice on parts that are not seen by the eye, but at Duesenberg we focus on only the very best in tone creation. Duesenberg's volume and tone pots are manufactured in Japan to the highest standard creating a precision-engineered pot with a sophisticated value curve that will have a long problem free life.
|Duesenberg Speed Pot:
|Featured on certain Duesenberg models this new specialist 70° pot controls tone with a slight touch. Also known as a "Quarter Pot" to some in the industry.
|Duesenberg Swell Pot:
|A cousin of the "Speed Pot" This spring-loaded lever pot allows those special effects that create volume swells, wah-wah effects and the crazy "machine gun" effect, without the click sound.
|Duesenberg Control Knobs:
|One of the first things you will notice on a Duesenberg is the fine attention detail on our control knobs and the jack plate. The "Art Deco" design is featuring our trademark 3-steps giving you that simplify and sophisticated look that only a Duesenberg can give.
|Not many will take the time to build their own tuners for their product but at Duesenberg have done just that. We have designed a classic and yet modern a quick-thru Z-Tuner.
|Easy, Fast Stringing! The string can be pulled quickly thru' the tuner shaft, then the string end can be cut off as normal – but on the rear of the headstock – push the string end back a little so it disappears – then you tune as usual. Easy, fast stringing for sure! You can also use the DZT's in the regular accepted manner. Technical Notes. A smooth, 18-1 gear ratio and the DZT's can be easily disassembled to renew grease by removing the back cover. Perfect!
|Duesenberg Endpins:
|The security of knowing that your guitar is safe while your playing is important and the Duesenberg endpins will give you just that. You will also have the ability to use the Schaller Security Lock System with our endpins without switching them out.
|Duesenberg "ML" & "CTT" Super-Tremolo:
|When you deal with old tremolo systems you often run into so many issues from tuning to difficulties in stringing your instrument. Our Duesenberg Tremolo guarantees the least amount of friction and maintaining the highest tolerances for your guitar. With our specially designed tailpiece and tremolo arm, your Doozy will stay in-tune and give you the sweetest tone with the fully adjustable tremolo arm. For those that are left-handed we have a new tremolo that can be converted to either right or left-handed guitar player.
|Duesenberg Les Trem:
|The one thing we get asked most about is our world-renowned Les-Trem. Once again it comes under the category of simplicity with sophistication. The Les-Trem fits directly on top of the stop tailpiece without modification to your guitar giving your guitar a whole new sound.
|Duesenberg Tone-Bender System and Glide-Capos:
|Duesenberg's Pomona Lap Steel incorporates two highly innovative systems. The "Tone-Bender" raises and lowers any string up to too a half- steps, giving unbelievably and realistic pedal steel sounds when using open tunings. String guides are practically friction free making the tuning stable. The adjustable string lever arms can be placed to meet the perfect playing style. The Glide-Capo is set on the solid aluminum fingerboard giving you the ability to change to any key on the fly. (Recommended tuning is E.B.E.G#. B.E.2 spring B to G#3.string G# to A)
|The Duesenberg Bridge:
|The material mostly used for this type of Tunamatic Bridge is crafted from brass or zinc. These two metals have a major disadvantage when a steel string makes contact with these materials. The affects of body acids or sweat, begins erosion as well as starting corrosion on the strings, which impacts the overall tone of your guitar. Simply put the Duesenberg saddles are forged from steel – so the erosion process is retarded resulting in longer life to both strings and saddles and not to mention better tone.
|Duesenberg Piezo Bridge:
|The Duesenberg Tunamatic Bridge has Piezo rosewood inlay strip combined with our German precision crafted "Bonoid" slide-able saddles. This gives you a balance response to all strings while creating great brightness and attack to the strings. Our "Multi-Tone" pot, allows the Piezo to be blended with the magnetic signal of the Duesenberg pickups. The other half of the pot works as a standard tone control – without adding the Piezo. And on top of all that the system is totally passive, no batteries means no problems.
|Duesenberg 49er "STB" Tone Adjustment:
|Duesenberg 49er has a "STB" adjustment system. Instead of using a stop tail we use 6 height adjustable string bushings for threading the strings thru' the body. Resulting in a fine adjustments along with great sustain and attack.
|Dual Action Truss Rods:
|A standard truss rod cannot adjust the neck for its optimum performance. The line of the neck should have a slight relief in it. Under extreme conditions especially for a touring musician, you may encounter that a standard truss rod may not give all adjustments that are required for heavy playing. Our dual action truss rods ensure the neck can be adjusted in both directions, giving you the best action and tone possible.
|Duesenberg Wood:
|The God angle of a guitar is the wonderful and natural material called wood. It has its difficulties, but when done right it becomes pretty magical. We use 2 or 3 pieces of wood in our bodies and rout sound chambers in some of our other guitars. The key is of course to reduce weight and at the same time enhance vibration qualities. Our hollow body guitars boast a top layer of premium spruce, which also enhances tonal sound quality. Over the years our combination of choice woods and fine lacquer products will give a distinctive surface "patina" of exceptional charm
|Best of both Worlds:
|Two German Innovations have come together to set a new standard. From 2009 all Duesenberg guitars and Basses are being processed by another ingenious German creation – The Plek. The Plek fret-dressing machine guarantees perfectly dressed level and profiled frets. With tolerances of 1/100mm the fully computerized, Plek system eliminates string buzz and provides a perfect feel and sound.

Josh Abbott Band, 'Touch' – Lyrics Uncovered
The lyrics to the Josh Abbott Band's current single 'Touch' pick up where their previous hit, 'Taste,' left off. Penned by Abbott, along with the iconic Radney Foster and Jay Clementi, the song is right up the band's alley — even though it was originally written for another superstar.
"I went to Radney Foster's house [to write with him and Jay that day], which in itself was like crazy," Abbott beams to Taste of Country. "I had never written with Radney before. We get over there, and he gets a phone call right as we sit down to write. We were trying to figure out what to write about and were throwing out ideas. He took the call and came back in the room. It was Sea Gayle, his publishing company, owned by Brad Paisley. They were looking for a love ballad – something rangy, a little sexual, and something that's just a great love song. I was like, 'I got this! That's the only thing I'm good at writing – that and songs about Texas!' [laughs]"
"We sat down and were throwing out ideas," Abbott continues. "Radney even said, 'I wish we could write something like that 'Taste' song that you did a while back.' I said, 'Well, I've always wanted to write a sequel called 'Touch.' I have a couple of ideas.' I immediately thought that was stupid … why did you say that? Radney Foster does not want to write the sequel to 'Taste'! You're an idiot! Radney was like, 'Sounds great!'
"Can't stop staring, my eyes keep taking off what you're wearing / I just want your touch again, to feel your body giving in / You're a bad liar; that smile gives away what you desire / You want to feel my touch again," they wrote in the lyrics.
"We started writing it, and of course Radney came up with the melody, because he's amazing at it," Abbott says, praising him. "I don't even know how, because I'm not a guitarist, but I some how wrote the intro. It was like the only intro I've ever written. Of course our producer tweaked it a little bit, but I was so proud of it."
"Let's just lie here together, chasing forever / I can't get enough of your love / Brave and relentless, sweet and defenseless / I can never get enough / Every time we touch," they wrote in the song's chorus.
"We wrote the song, and right as we were getting done, we were like man … this is great!" Abbott says with a smile. "It was exactly what [Sea Gayle] wanted. They called and said Brad's written a couple of love songs that he thinks is going to work. I thought well hey … we got a good song out of it. The guys and I went into the studio with it, and I think everybody was on the same page in terms that it could be a huge song for us. I love the song, and I think it came out great."

Padgett '84 Ends Time Career with Chavez• March 6, 2013 Share:
The death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez provided Tim Padgett '84 with one final chance to profile the controversial South American leader.
Chávez's death oddly occurred the same week Padgett's career as Time Magazine's Miami Bureau Chief ended.
Padgett '84 learned earlier this week that after a series of cutbacks Time had decided to close its Miami Bureau, and eliminate the veteran journalists' position.
Padgett will continue to write online articles for Time until he takes another position elsewhere.
Chávez played a role in Padgett's career. The former Bachelor editor and Carmel native first interviewed Chávez 15 years ago during Venezuelan elections. Chávez granted Padgett an interview when he ranted about the US and then President George Bush at the United Nations. He has been a key figure in Padgett's time as Bureau Chief.
Padgett's piece on the Chávez death is a must read for anyone interested in South American politics and great journalistic writing.

Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon 2010
To have been blessed to be part of this event has been life changing. To have gotten a chance to come to know and love the Raramuri people and all the friends of the Tarahumara has been a true honor...a major blessing for me, adding richness and insight to my life in doses so large that it continuously boggles my mind and leaves me with a deep sense of gratitude and thankfulness.
Indeed the Raramuri culture of korima is something that touches all of us with its simple beauty and trust in the human-divine spirit of sharing and mutual love. Let that spirit live on in all of us as we recognize it in our own lives and in our own circles of friends, family and colleagues...and other co-inhabitants on this incredible planet.
Someday, you too may be blessed to run in the Canyons, to meet Caballo Blanco and touch fingertips with Arnulfo or some of the other local legends. In the meantime, you can always try and book a trek in the canyons with the ole' Caballo himself (see: www.caballoblanco.com) or support the Norwas de Raramuri - Friends of the Running People - non-profit founded by Caballo (see: www.norawas.org).
May the Raramuri continue to run free and strong...and you too.
PS. The photo montage above I made in 2007 shortly after returning from my second year of participating, the year after McDougall came down, the year following the year covered in the book "Born to Run". It is an amazing tribute to the beauty of the experience.

Next-generation control engineer advice
Ask an engineer about the future of engineering and you are sure to elicit an intense and lively response. Case in point: an ongoing discussion thread among the LinkedIn Automation & Control Engineering Group for the past year. A query about the supply of and demand for young engineers in automation and control engineering unleashed a flood of comments, generating hundreds of responses from around the globe. Most participants agreed a problem exists to one degree or another. Unquestionably, each had his or her own take on the topic. A taste of the discussion, ongoing, is presented here. Read more opinions online under this headline at www.controleng.com. [Note: this online version is slightly longer than what appear in print.]
Brett Israelsen, a young process control engineer at Corning Inc., Oneonta, N.Y., with degrees in mechanical and chemical engineering, noticed there are not many others his age, especially degreed engineers, in this industry. "Even though some companies are trending more to IT, many understand the true value of control engineering and knowledge of the process. This means that there is still a need for competent control engineers and will be in the future. I am glad to see this discussion, although I am not sure there is a clear solution. Engineering students need to be interested in control. That requires programs and teachers that show how critical control systems are to industry and pass on the passion."
Although most felt that the shortage of automation and controls engineers is real, a few disagreed, at least in part. Will Wagoner, PE, president, Wagoner Consulting, process control engineer, Richmond, Va., said no, the problem is that "we have too many automation engineers who lack the background to understand what they are automating. Young engineers should get operation experience, field experience before launching into this side of the business because they fancy writing programs."
There won't be any good automation control design without the engineer touching the process he or she is trying to control, added Veronica Ramos, procurement coordinator at International Consulting Group, Miami. "It doesn't matter how good you are with PLC programming. When I worked in the pharmaceutical industry, my mentor never considered having me get involved with the chemical engineering team or with other plant operators before starting the design. Educate the young generation of control engineers on the practice of going to the field first. Getting to know the basics of the process must be primordial for every company."
Dean Ford, CAP, VP, automation and information solutions at Glenmount Global Solutions, Baltimore, said the real issue is that the profession does not exist as a profession. "None of us on this thread have an automation degree because it doesn't exist," he said, "and I would also bet that it is not what you entered the job market expecting to become. Another damaging component is that each industry sees itself as different from other industries. Although there are nuances to each, at our level it really does not matter what is in the pipes, it is the control that is important."
From a recruiter's point of view, a shortage of qualified controls and automation engineers—entry level or seasoned—certainly exists, offered Michael Grillo, an engineering recruiter at City and National Employment, Waterloo, Iowa. "Companies often use integrators to fulfill engineering needs, and that generally requires a great deal of travel by the controls and automation engineer. And travel is perhaps a reason many do not join the forces. Recruiting a controls and automation engineer for a company is often not too difficult until I tell them they may have to work at different facilities across the country, or around the globe, for that matter," Grillo said.
Controls engineering is evolving with the times, said Dyana Rollason, project engineer at Emerson Network Power, Columbus, Ohio. "It's not all relay logic to control processes anymore. It's not even all PLC programming. There are communication platforms to learn, operator interfaces to design, address mapping between the interface and the PLC programs," she noted. "I didn't learn 80% of what I do in college. Controls engineering is not a defined field; there isn't a job description. That's a big reason why there are few young engineers in this area. The current ones evolved into their current state, as I am doing now," Rollason said.
According to Scot Garner, PE, electrical and controls department manager at Industrial TurnAround Corp., Richmond, Va., the perfect controls engineer should possess a blend of process knowledge, electrical knowledge, logic theory, software development skills, and instrumentation and IT knowledge. "Someone with all of those characteristics is extremely hard to find," said Garner. "There is more to controls engineering than just analog process control. There is hardware design, sequential discrete logic, custom software development, motor control, safety circuits, and regulatory requirements. We don't execute projects in a vacuum. Controls engineers, mechanical engineers, process engineers, IT professionals, and project engineers must work as a team to get projects done."
There is a lack of recruitment for our industry, Garner went on. "Automation companies tend to be small and don't do a whole lot of recruiting from colleges. Fortune 500 manufacturing companies are downsizing and shipping jobs elsewhere, which is also contributing to the lack of young people in automation and control engineering."
Doug Brock, manager, Chattanooga territory at Kendall Electric, Chattanooga, Tenn., admits that at the time he graduated from college in electrical engineering, he had never touched a PLC from an automation vendor. "I was well versed in theory but had no industrial automation exposure. Fortunately, I found opportunities later and gained that experience. I think it's harder for new graduates to find those opportunities now. Chattanooga has some neat partnerships between industry and area schools, but most of those are two-year programs. Until there is a concerted effort to team four-year programs with industrial leaders, factory automation manufacturers, associations, and end-users, it will be difficult to provide the quick assimilation that is required to pull young people into the industrial automation and process control fields," Brock said.
In the view of Chris Stergiou, mechanical and manufacturing systems, Boston, to ask if there is a lack of young engineers in automation and control engineering is a bit of an oxymoron. "There is no such field as 'automation and control engineering,'" he said. "Automation and control engineering is simply the execution or integration of any to all of the conventional engineering fields. It represents a synthesis of process knowledge (so that we can know what we are trying to control), hardware knowledge (so that we can know what tools are available to us to monitor those control points), and a sense of algorithm development (so that we can devise an architecture that is simple, robust, and repeatable with well-understood and controlled internal reaction times). All of this takes time and experience to cultivate. Just as graduates from the most prestigious culinary schools start out chopping lettuce and learning from established chefs before they can truly become one, systems engineers are grown over time. They can't come out of school that way," Stergiou said.
"The issue is obviously complex, added James Federlein, PE, an experienced industrial automation consultant and instructor in the Pittsburgh area and a member of ISA's Standards and Practices Board."There are fewer young engineers today," he said. "Given that baby boomers are retiring in larger numbers than young engineers are graduating, there will be a lack of young engineers in all disciplines."
Automation is not considered a unique discipline by most colleges and some companies, he continued. "Young engineers don't graduate with a degree in automation. Even if they had some control courses in college, they may not be aware of automation as a field. The level of college education in automation is in no way commensurate with the importance of automation's and industry's need."
Further, automation is defined in various ways, he added, "In this discussion alone, some say it is the same as instrumentation and control; others feel it is software and application programming; still others regard it as a focus for process improvements. When someone advertises an automation job or says they work in automation, what does that mean? Automation is all of these and more. The field of automation probably struggles to attract young engineers because they are not sure what it is all about. We need to take action to attract more young people to engineering and automation if we want to remain competitive in a global world."
Perhaps Rick Rice, applications engineer at Crest Foods, Ashton, Ill., summed up the topic best…and offered the best advice. He said, "I recently started mentoring a young engineer completely unrelated to my job responsibilities…and not even living in my state, let alone neighborhood. Why did I do this? Well, I remember what it was like for me when I first set out on the path of life that has lead me to where I am now. I was fresh out of college with plenty of eager enthusiasm for my chosen career. I was fortunate to have some very patient people place a firm but guiding hand behind me to steer me along the way. I made mistakes (who doesn't), but the important thing is they made me feel like I had made the right decision in following this path. One told me there are no stupid questions, and that remark has stuck with me my whole life.
"To the young engineers out there: I hope you are fortunate enough to find yourself with a situation where you are allowed to learn your craft by doing and, yes, sometimes by making mistakes…but always learning.
"To the seasoned professionals out there: take what you read in this forum (and others like it) and make a difference in the life of a young engineer. Remember where you came from and how it felt to you when you first set foot on the path to your future."

For our Afghani dinner, I pulled out all the stops... and made lots of dishes! Okay, I guess I didn't pull out all the stops. I used a few tortillas for our bread instead of hand-making fresh Afghani bread. So, sue me! It was a weeknight! :) First up, I made Balkh Brown Lentil Soup, a wonderful lentil soup with butternut squash and orange juice and lime juice and cumin and hot peppers... It was great! Also, it called for a special spice called "Angelica," which I had picked up at the Persian grocer last time I was there. Angelica is hard to find, but it has a tangy, sour flavor and was a really great element of this soup! I loved this soup, and it made a lot, so there's plenty left over for weekday lunches. Mmm!
Along with the soup I made some Afghani Cilantro-Mint Chutney. Here is a link to my recipe. This was something they always had at our dearly departed Afghani restaurant... and a while back we got to remembering how delicious it was, so I recreated it. It packs a seriously cilantro-minty punch, so cilantro haters should back away quickly. Cilantro lovers, however, should run to the kitchen, make a big bowl of it, and roll around in it. A big dollop in the soup was very tasty indeed!
I also made Afghan Garlic Chive Boulani with Yogurt Sauce. YUMS. These little boulani used wonton wrappers (make sure you get vegan ones!), and were stuffed full with chopped fresh herbs and hot chilies. The only thing was that they were way too salty, so next time I will definitely cut way back on the salt. Especially because scallions and cilantro and hot chilies have plenty of flavor to carry the day. They hardly need so much salt. That said, I will most definitely make these again because they were really fun to eat, full of that wonderful fresh-herbs flavor, and not complicated to make. The yogurt sauce with mint and cucumbers was a great balance to the heat of the boulani.
The soup and boulani and yogurt sauce recipes were all from "Silk Road Cooking, A Vegetarian Journey," by Najmieh Batmanglij... which is really, really an exciting book. Full of amazing recipes with exotic ingredients (exotic to me, anyway), new flavors, and recipes from many countries that have wonderful cuisines which are under-explored for the most part. I really recommend this book for anyone who enjoys adventurous cooking!

The Texas Rattlesnake recently took aim at a venomous conversation that's sweeping through the U.S. ahead of this November's mid-term elections.
Retired WWE superstar "Stone Cold Steve Austin" is back stirring things up the same way he did a decade ago in the ring – this time, however, it's getting political.
Austin, whose career spanned more than a decade, took to his podcast a few months back to chime in on the legality of same-sex marriage in the States.
"Everybody is going crazy about this and some of the churches say ... you can't do that," Austin started. "I'm for same-sex marriage. I don't give a s--- if two guys, two gals, guy-gal or whatever it is ... I believe that any human being in America or any human being in the (world) that wants to be married, more power to them."
Austin, a 49-year-old beer-chugging redneck who appeared at WrestleMania XXX earlier this month, has stated he isn't overly religious. He now splits time between his L.A. and South Texas homes following a Hall of Fame career that included six world championships.
"Some churches have the high horse they get on and say, 'We as a church do not believe in that'. Which one of these motherf---er talked to God and God said same-sex marriage is a no-can-do?
"So two cats can't get married if they want to get married but a guy can go murder 14 people, molest five kids and then go to f---ing prison and accept God and He's going to let him into heaven? That don't jive with me."
And that's the bottom line, according to Stone Cold.

Patriots offense in a giving mood
FOXBOROUGH – In the eyes of many, scoring 34 points against the NFL's stingiest defense would have, or maybe should have, meant a victory Sunday night at Gillette Stadium against the San Francisco 49ers.
Especially putting up 28 straight points in the second half.
But the Patriots' offense, showcasing the ability once again to pile up yards and points, also had a key hand in aiding the 49ers' cause, turning the ball over a season-high four times in a quartet of game-changing plays that helped the visitors to a 31-3 lead.
All of which made the Patriots' impressive, short-lived comeback from that deficit tough to take for the rain-soaked home fans. By the time the Patriots finally started clicking on offense, they were a mile behind. Catching the 49ers took less than 15 minutes on the game clock and swung the momentum completely around, but it's what transpired before the late surge that ended the Patriots' seven-game win streak.
"We just didn't do a good job taking care of the ball,'' coach Bill Belichick said. "Too many mistakes, too many things that weren't good.''
When the Patriots weren't good, the 49ers pounced. They had three one-play scoring drives in the game, which took 19 seconds. Total.
Patriots running back Stevan Ridley lost another fumble. Shane Vereen lost one, and Tom Brady was intercepted twice. The last two turnovers came on the Patriots' first two drives of the second half, and doubled San Francisco's two-touchdown halftime lead.
"We were turning the ball over. We just didn't give ourselves a chance,'' Brady said. "We spotted them 28 points. You can't play poorly against a good team.''
The 49ers' first two quick-strike touchdowns followed those Patriots' second-half turnovers and helped San Francisco build that 31-3 lead less than five minutes into the third quarter, sending some in the crowd headed for the car.
That's when the Patriots flipped the switch. Four consecutive touchdown drives, none of them easy or on a short field: 73 yards, 86 yards, 66 yards, 92 yards. All four coming against the league's No. 2-ranked defense.
Brady threw for a season-high 443 yards, but needed to fling it 65 times to get there. The attempts are seven more than his previous high as a Patriot, never a good sign.
But he led the Patriots all the way back, combining with receiver Brandon Lloyd (10 catches, 190 yards, plus drawing a 38-yard pass interference penalty at the 5-yard-line) for a few big plays and doing some of the dirty work himself, leaping over the offensive line for a 1-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter that made it 31-17.
"I had a feeling we'd be able to come back,'' Brady said. "We hung in there, battled back, but made too many mistakes when we needed to make plays. It's a tough loss.''
The Patriots finished with 13 more first downs than San Francisco (32-19), and outgained the 49ers, 520-383. Those are the kind of numbers that typically mean a comfortable win. On this night, though, it was the offensive miscues that mattered more.
"We didn't coach well, we didn't play well. We weren't good on offense, weren't good on defense, weren't good on special teams,'' Belichick said. "We've got to perform better than that. We didn't, so that's the result. We just didn't do a good enough job tonight, it's as simple as that.''
In addition to the turnovers, third-down conversions hampered the Patriots. They led the league coming in, converting more than 50 percent. The 49ers held New England to just 2 for 15. Combined with the turnovers, the third-down defense allowed the 49ers to become the first non-AFC East team to beat the Patriots at home in December in more than 15 years (Pittsburgh won, 24-21, on Dec. 13, 1997).
The Patriots finished with familiar numbers, scoring 8 more points than anybody else has this season on the 49ers. It was the unfamiliar numbers (four turnovers, two third-down conversions) that dug a hole that proved much too deep.

UK opens investigation on death that sparked riots
September 16, 2013
LONDON (AP) — A British coroner has opened a long-awaited inquest into the death of Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old man whose shooting at the hands of London police sparked days of riots across England.
Duggan's death in the working-class London district of Tottenham on Aug. 4, 2011 was the spark that set off Britain's worst civil unrest in a generation.
The exact circumstances of Duggan's death are unclear. A gun was recovered from the scene of the shooting, but it's the circumstances surrounding its discovery are disputed.
Judge Keith Cutler told jurors at Duggan's inquest on Monday that they were on a "quest to find the truth."
Inquests are a kind of investigation held in Britain to establish the facts about violent or unexplained deaths.

Matthew McConaughey proposed to then-girlfriend Camila Alves like he does everything: slowly.
The actor, who is known as much for his laid-back lifestyle as for his movies, made sure Alves didn't rush the moment when he proposed last Christmas.
"It was the last gift to be opened and I wrapped it in seven different boxes so Camila would have to keep unwrapping. She got the ring, I took a knee and asked her to marry me and take my name," McConaughey told People.
True to form (or at least her beau's), Alves took her time with an answer: "After a bit, she conceded...thankfully."
The rose-cut Cathy Waterman engagement ring McConaughey chose was a perfect complement to the Kathy Rose wedding bands the couple exchanged at their Austin, Texas wedding on June 9. Alves also donned a diamond headpiece and 10-carat earrings, both by Neil Lane, for the occasion.
Of Alves's "Edwardian, art deco" accessories, Lane says, "[It's] vintage without being too old-fashioned. It's an exquisite, romantic look."
