BRISTOL, R.I. – Facing its third consecutive regionally-ranked opponent in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll, the No. 9 MIT men's soccer team fell to No. 4 Roger Williams University, 1-0, in a non-conference tilt on Wednesday. The loss lowered the Engineers' ledger to 4-3-1 on the season while the Hawks improved to 7-0-1.
MIT dominated the attack in the first half, tallying 10 shots, six of which were on goal. The Engineers almost got on the board in the 26th minute when senior goalie Dylan Rankin (Providence, R.I.) lofted a strong kick past midfield that bounced just outside the box. Freshman John Kramer (Glastonbury, Conn.) chased down the pass but it ricocheted off of him, resulting in a handball and thwarted his run towards the net.
The Cardinal and Gray's best attempt at ending the deadlock came in the 48th minute. Junior Ben Lewis (West Hartford, Conn.) unleashed a shot off a corner kick, but the Hawks' Billy Kissane headed the ball out of danger. Roger Williams broke through the defensive battle in the 62nd minute when Kissane found the back of net courtesy of feeds from Bradley Macdonald and Daniel Caruso. The Hawks defense was impenetrable down the stretch as it withstood five shots from the Engineers.
Rankin made three saves for the visitors while Jon Pelloso turned away nine shots for Roger Williams.
MIT returns to NEWMAC action on Saturday, Sept. 24 when it travels to WPI for a 5:00 p.m. start.

Why Just Do A Job When You Can
Save The World with Design
You can make the world more beautiful, more intelligent, more creative, more sensible, and more delightful. An intense workshop on how you, whether as a techie or a non-techie, can author user-interface design and user-experience that is more professional and even quite stunning. For mobile-apps, tablets, website-designs, and the internet-of-things (IoT).
Join the design revolution sweeping across India. 18 such incredible workshops have been conducted already in:
Through these workshops, professionals like you in tech-startups and IT companies in India are learning how to think and strategize about design, and how to get design implemented. With one objective: how to become more competent and more successful in the world.
A tip-o'-the-turban to NASSCOM for helping us get there as our Knowledge Partner. #10,000Startups is an inititiave of NASSCOM. Its members get a sweet-deal of upto 15 tickets on a first-come-first served. Scroll down to find out more.
While we're at it, let's also tip the gender-bias. The workshop also encourages women professionals and entrepreneurs. That includes fleximoms, mompreneurs, work-at-homes, career women, and even those who wish to chuck a boring corporate job and explore their creative side. Making this special spotlight on women possible is SHEROES.in. The design revolution just got a whole lot more exciting.
Come, join me as we start a revolution in user-interface design from India. Because it's about time we do.

Topics Covered In The Dive Into User-Interface Workshop:
Introduction to:
Language: English
|Fri & Sat: 24-25 July 2015
|2:00 pm to 6:00 pm each day
|1 session per day
|4 hours per session, including a short 10-minute chai, kaafi break
Skilled! At the first workshop on user-interface design, conducted in September 2014. Join the gang.
Target Audience:
This workshop is deliberately designed for fewer participants, to keep the interactions, discussions, and brainstorming sessions more focussed, more meaningful, and more efficient. Less is more.
Even more fun at the second workshop on user-interface design, conducted in October 2014.
Audience Profile:
1. English-speaking
2. Disposition: Must have an inclination or disposition or some expression towards visual arts. This could be as basic as an interest in photography; or have rudimentary skills in sketching, illustrating, or painting; graphic-design; film-production, or any other form of visual arts. Definitely must be comfortable with using a pencil and paper for drawing simple things like flow-charts, simple charts, boxes, arrows, lines, etc.
3. Should have some basic understanding of how to dabble with any graphics software, even if as a newbie or an amateur.
4. Skills in HTML, web-development, or app-development, or software engineering, are not required for this workshop. Good if you have them, but we will strictly focus on 'design' per se, and not on 'development'.
Let's please finally put the horse before the cart.
The third workshop on user-interface design, conducted in October 2014 sold-out within weeks. Professionals acutely feel the need and urgency to understand UI design in the real-world.
Each participant will receive:
1. User-Interface design sketchpad
2. UI template files by e-mail after the workshop
3. A massive and comprehensive reference of all things user-interface design, at the end of the workshop. There's enough 'gyaan' here to last you a whole year, once you dive in to explore
4. Subscription to an exclusive e-mail newsletter that keeps you inspired and diving deeper, week after week, long after the workshop is over
5. And, maybe a few more things. Dive in to discover
6. Free wi-fi will be provided. Would be nice if participants bring along their laptops, tablets, smartphones. Helpful to have these handy to understand a few topics more deeply.
The fourth workshop on user-interface design, conducted in November 2014. Join this much-needed revolution in design.
Suggested Course Content:
1. Why User-Interface design is confused with development in India and how and why we must break out of this.
2. How to correct the existing workflow of user-interface design adopted in India.
3. Adopt or create your own design philosophy: Form follows Function; Form follows Emotion; and more.
4. How to follow and analyze design trends year after year. And how to predict the next in design.
5. What is a design language, and how to create one for your product.
6. Arriving at the core design-value of each task.
7. Popular tools and resources for UI design.
8. How to get UI prototyping and wire-framing right.
9. How to adapt one design for mobile, tablet, desktop, and more. Essential guidelines.
10. Classic guidelines for selecting fonts and typography.
11. The art and aesthetics of colors; and color-moods. Moving away from garish colors to world-class color tastes.
12. Skeumorphism vs minimalism: Pros and Cons.
13. Understanding audience psychology: user-case scenarios.
14. Set the art-direction for Icon-design and Button-design.
15. Get a grip on texture, gradients, shadows, and lighting.
16. Minimize user-interference: clickstreams; ambiguity; panic-modes.
17. Interaction Design: visual cues and feedback loops.
18. Break out of your own mould as a designer.
Note: This may be tweaked further.
Course Deliverable:
Best summed up by the first slide from a webinar I delivered earlier.
(Personal Note: I could give you a hyperlink to my presentation at http://slideshare.net/niyam. However good user-interface design dictates I keep you glued to this page and inspire you to sign up and pay, rather than let you jump onto another page and possibly have you get distracted away. So stay with me here!)
At the end of the course, a reasonably intelligent participant will be able to handle any project in user-interface design far more professionally.
A newbie will be able to dive in immediately into their first UI design project and handle it competently.
The course aids such a participant by offering:
Here's how you can re-think a notification alarm on a smartwatch. This user-interface design concept uses bold typography and colors to convey the growing urgency as the time draws near.
Suggested Project(s):
Newbies will be suggested small simple projects that are utility, widget, or with limited functionality, just to invoke 'design-think' in them. These are strictly optional.
Other participants may bring in existing projects for design brainstorming. Do note there is obviously no time to handle any hands-on design-production of digital artworks, much less demand professional inputs. Design brainstorming on existing projects will definitely be time-limited. It will be open to all participants and used only as a tool for learning. It will be optional, and at the sole discretion of the trainer.
Participants may be suggested inspiring everyday project(s) especially for mobile-apps, and optionally even for gadget-interface design. Armed with the introduction and the knowledge from this short workshop, participants may pursue the design and development of their projects on their own initiative, if they wish.
Yes. Certification of participation will be awarded to those who attend the full workshop sessions.

Backed by Google, Microsoft, Intel, Kotak and Verisign, NASSCOM's 10,000 Startups is literally on a mission to impact 10,000 startups by the year 2023. An integral part of creating this impact is providing startups and the ecosystem with skill-building techniques, resources, and engagement opportunities with domain experts.
Exclusive offer for 10,000 Startups members. Upto 15 seats are reserved by NASSCOM at a 10% discount, exclusively for members of its 10,000Startups initiative. On a first-come-first served. If you're a member, get your discount-code which is only available from NASSCOM and key it in while purchasing tickets so you can keep some more of the green stuff in your pocket, and your creativity in the rocket. Or somethin' like that. The 10% discount is valid against the stated price of any type of ticket you purchase. So if early-bird tickets sell out, you may apply the code on the price of a regular ticket. Until all 15 seats reserved for 10,000Startup members sell out. And if all do sell-out, buy your ticket at its stated price before it sells out too. If you're serious about your billion dollar product and services dreams, you shouldn't be flinchin' for just a couple of hundred rupees off, right?
So if you're committed, you've got to hurry. As the workshop returns to Gurgaon after a long spell across various cities in India, these special tickets may sell out rapidly, and the regular, paid tickets may sell out in the first few days. Therefore, hurry slowly.
Dive In!
The exciting world of user-interface design has come.
It can not be taught.
It can only be caught.
By you.

The Halloween costumes are packed away and stores are piping in the carols, it is a signal: Get ready for the busiest shopping season of the year.
Consumers plan to spend an average of $704.18 on gifts this year, down 2.1 percent from a year ago, according to the National Retail Federation's 2011 Holiday Consumer survey.
To make those dollars count, shoppers want to know they're buying the right gift.
"In 2009, it was all about personal, practical gifts, and last year consumers wanted to treat their loved ones to something special," said Pam Goodfellow, consumer insights director at BIGresearch. "This year, it's a little bit of both."
According to the research, exactly half of the respondents picked accessories and apparel as their choice of gift for the holiday. Others chose electronics, jewelry, or personal-care items.
To make your shopping easier, here's a guide that offers up ideas that should suit you if you want to give something trendy or something practical, or a little of both.

Ok after reading StopSpam's tutorial and finding it....errr...somewhat lacking in any kind of indepth explination or advice i have decided to write an altogether new one - is not a definitive guide or anything - lol
but should provide a little bit more help to those worried about adware/spyware and spam
Ok am going to break this down into 2 parts :
- Infections on your computer (spyware/adware}
- Attacks on your inbox (Spam)
these I feel are the two most annoying things affecting the normal home user today.
So what is Spyware?
from hereA technology that assists in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge. On the Internet, "spyware is programming that is put in someone's computer to secretly gather information about the user and relay it to advertisers or other interested parties." As such, spyware is cause for public concern about privacy on the Internet.
ok so spyware is a little program which runs in the background without you knowing and gather sinformation about you. The types of information gathered varies but can be the likes of :-
- Websites visited
- Music listened to
- Movies watched
- Personnal details
- IM conversations
- CC Numbers
- Buddy contacts/emails
and so on and so on.
Now obviously this is not something you want to be happening but how do they get the software to montior and record all this on to your computer in the first place?
Well they are constantly coming up with new ways here are some of the more common ones :
As a Trojan a trojan is a program which poses as one thing but is actualy something else [see here] So you think your downloading a nw piece of software could be anything a p2p program, an mp3 player and along with the program it comes bundled with all these other nasty little surrprises.
Most legitamite programs which use this method to spread their spyware will have a clause in their EULA (End User License Agreement) which states that by installing their program you also agree to the installation of the spyware. Now how many people actually read the EULAs? Yeah not many and thats how they slip through a lot of the time. One thing you should be carefull of if you see in the EULA a bit stating that you agree to allow companyX to use some of your bandwith for periodic reports on usage/activity etc etc as basically what they are saying is that you agree to let the software dial home and report to the makers on how you use it (eg if it was a media player it could tell them what music you listened to what films you like detc)
Another method is through Webpages how many times have you seen pop-up boxes asking you to download X plugin or upgrade Y some of these pop-ups which may look genuine are actually faked in order to get you to allow the downloading and installation of more spyware &/or adware. The only way to be completely safe if you receive such a pop-up eg if it was for Macromedia Flash Player Verison n is to visit the manufactuars site in this case Macromedia and download the plug-in from them and then visit the previous site. If it is indeed a genuine request for a required plug-in it will nt matter what site you get it from as long as you have it and the original site requestijng the plugin should now work fine.
Some spyware however does not even need you to click on anything for it to be downloaded and installed it relies on a vunrebality in IE which allowed software to be downloaded and installed on your machine simply by viewing a site. This is why you should always keep your browser (and OS) up to date with all updates and critical patches.
Ok so now you know a little bit about what it is and how you get it how do you go about stopping it?
Well first of all the best method is prevention!
Follow the simple instructions mentioned above.
Only install programs which you are sure of dont even truyst those sent to you by friends as they might not be aware that the program is infected either.
Check the EULA for any clauses which sound sus
Check all pop-ups and do not click ok without reading it properly.
Have a good AVP (anti-virus program) installed, running and updated you can get AVG free from here
Install a firewall you can download a free version of outpost firewall here
You may also wish to get the cleaner (free 30 day trial) to scan for any trojans which maybe installed.
Now you have the necessary precautions in place you should scan your machine for any current infections. Due to the fact that a lot of adware/spyware are legitimate preograms your AVP like AVG might not pick up on them so it is best to get additional spyware/adware scanners to check for you as well.
Two of the most successful are Adaware and Spybot
These pieces of software will scan your system for none pieces of spyware before running a scan you should always check for any available updates as spy/adware is constantly changing so you need to ensure you have the latest definitions.
You should run a ful scan with each of these to check for any infections what you may want to do as well is scan in safe mode. As you probably know you can delete a file that is in use. So these programs may not be able to clean some files which are currently active by booting into safe mode you stop these programs from running and can then get rid of them. For more information on how to boot your computer in safe mode check here
For more information on spyware/adware check these links
Ok so now for part 2 Spam (and no I aint talking about this kinda spam lol)
So what is spam?
from hereUnsolicited "junk" e-mail sent to large numbers of people to promote products or services. Sexually explicit unsolicited e-mail is called "porn spam." Also refers to inappropriate promotional or commercial postings to discussion groups or bulletin boards.
we will be focusing on the type of spam that you receive in your email.
Everyone has prolly received some form of spam at some stage but how do they get your email?
Well sometimes they dont they simply guess! They may send out emails to :
Etc etc until they finally get a correct address because of this one of the things you should never do when you receive spam is open it. Some spam msgs have Webbugs contained within them these are little transparent images which allow the sender of the spam to tell when an email has been viewed so if an email has ben viewed then they know someone is using that email addy and they can send more spam to it! So how can you stop these?
Well as I said above dont open the email but sometimes you cant tell its spam so you should also disable the HTML view so that you see the email as a plain text document and the image is not fetched from the spammers server.
Another major rule when dealing with spam is never click on the unsubscribe link. Once again this alerts the spammer that someone has received and viewed the email as they are clicking on a link from it so they will then target you with more spam.
There are other ways in which a spammer may get your email address as well
They may use some forms of spyware or trojans to harvest email addresses from peoples computers or they may scan websites for the addresses this is why on some sites now the email will be displayed like johnSmith -=[AT]=- hotmail -=[DOT]=- com we know that this email realy should be email@example.com but a spammers webcrawling robot may just ignore it as it does not recognise it as a valid email address.
But what if you have a website and wish to have people contact you from it and you do not wish to do this? Well you can set up another email address just for emails from that site and then set up rules to move any that contain a certain subject to another folder
You could then use
or something similar so that all legitimate emails arrive with same subject and could then be fwdd to a new address using filters/rules.mailto:email@example.com?Subject=this is not a spam msg&body=Pls do not change the subject of this email

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Seven straight goals scored across three periods helped power the MIT men's lacrosse team to a 12-3 victory over UMass Boston on Tuesday afternoon. Will Waste posted a game-high five points on three goals and two assists for the Engineers (3-3) while Dean Driscoll paced the Beacons (2-5) with two goals.
Dan Piemont put MIT on the board midway through the first quarter when he connected on a feed from Waste for a man-up goal. The slim lead would hold until Driscoll registered the equalizer after 37 seconds expired in the second stanza. Piemont quickly converted a pass from Justin Myers, but Driscoll knotted the game at two with 12:40 on the clock. An unassisted goal by John Kucharczyk less than two minutes later sparked the game-changing run for MIT as it entered halftime with a 6-2 advantage.
The game was a defensive battle following the break, but strikes by Waste and Elliot Sykora increased the hosts' margin and served as the only goals of the third quarter. Waste completed the hat trick at the 13:51 mark of the final frame as Tommy Petitti ended UMass Boston's scoring drought over eight minutes later.
Piemont responded with his third and fourth goals in a span of 48 seconds as Waste and Tomas Vianna earned the assists. The Engineers capped the scoring on a solo effort by Timothy Wilczynski with 1:40 left to play.
Morgan Krey contributed one goal and an assist for MIT as Michael Fowler notched his first goal of the season courtesy of pass from Nick Sisler. Myers tallied seven groundballs and two caused turnovers as Britt Cyr won four of his six faceoffs and chipped in three groundballs. Christopher Rullan compiled eight saves, four groundballs, and two caused turnovers while Wilczynski collected three groundballs.
John Perro was 7-of-14 in faceoffs and scooped up five groundballs for the Beacons. Pat Driscoll also had five groundballs while Patrick McGoff followed with four of his own. In net, Anthony Fitti turned away nine shots.
Both squads will square off with Massachusetts Maritime Academy for their upcoming games. UMass Boston will host the Buccaneers on Thursday, April 7 while MIT will travel to Buzzards Bay for a Pilgrim League contest on Saturday, April 9.

mindful and artful
I will be greeting my sixth grade students at Davis Waldorf School in less than two weeks! With a handshake and a good morning, I will welcome them into the classroom space. It is the space where teaching and learning will meet; it must hold us and support us. With a feng shui background, it was with mindfulness and intention that I designed the sixth grade classroom. The classroom is minimalist and uncluttered. There are living plants that the children will nurture and make grow. There are some decorative objects that are born from nature and crafted by hand. Musical instruments and artwork inspire creativity. Rugs, lamps, and pillows give lightness and warmth. Placement of students' desks and my desk, bookshelves, and file cabinets organize work spaces. I am fortunate to have a large enough room to define a space for my work, where I feel supported and protected. When I am prepping for school, the children are all home, the campus is quiet, and the room is all mine, I can pause and sit at the piano and play. It is my meditation; I breathe, and I will look forward to another day.

It is beautiful. My daughter begins 6th grade at our Waldorf School next week. What aspects of Feng Shui did you use for setting up your room?

Thanks for leaving nice comments! I studied feng shui with Terah Kathryn Collins from the Western School of Feng Shui in southern CA - a very practical approach. I did not use the deeper elements such as the bagua map and remedies, but I applied the more practical elements such as consciousness of safety and energy flow, balance of fire, earth, metal, wood, and water, and the general feel of warmth and comfort. Let me know if you want more info! Rick

hi again I ran across this ebay item 200519087796 that appears to have the pearlised colour but the foot looks different but it does have part of a label attached, although it is not a separate photo.Thought if it looks close to you you might write for another photo of the part label.
Antiquerose: I have seen this iridescence, I think it is called, before on a red/gold vase by Seguso Vetri de Arts that a friend of mine owns. Yours is an absolutely stunning colour and appears to be very well made.Hope you get to ID it as it looks like a piece by a master. If I had to guess I would say Barbini but my thoughts are often off with the pixies.

The project is a partnership between the Horticultural Society of New York, Global Kids and the school. This garden consists of 57 green roof modules containing shrubs, flowers, herbs and seasonal vegetables.
"Young people are continuing to advocate for green roofs around the city," said Evie Hantzopoulos, executive director of Global Kids. "I was just really happy that we could connect the Horticultural Society with Bryant High School."
Funding for the project comes from a $7.9 million initiative to invest in energy efficient and environmental projects in areas of western Queens that were affected by the July 2006 electrical power outage.
"It's a great validation for us for all the pain we went through," said State Senator Michael Gianaris at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday. "The fact that the kids are driving it makes it all the more gratifying."
Students at the school have been pressuring faculty members and local organizations to make the green roof a reality.
"Since we don't have a lot of green space, the rainwater has to go through the combined sewage system," said Amosh Neubane, a Bryant High School senior who advocated for the project. "The more green spaces, the more water will be absorbed."
In addition to pushing for the green roof, Neubane is starting an environmental club. He hopes the green roof can be used to grow produce to be sold cheaply in the schools cafeteria, as well as to local stores in Astoria.
"We can also use this to grow organic food," he said. "Only the affluent community members get fresh food."

Difference between revisions of "Tabriz"
Revision as of 07:13, 9 July 2011
Tabriz is the capital of East Azerbaijan province, in the Azerbaijan region of Iran. Its an ancient city that its history is about 4500 years ago these informations beloges to digs that archaeologist find near the blue mosque.
Provincial capital of Eastern Azarbaijan, it is 310 km southeast of Bazargan (Iran- Turkey frontier); 159 km south of Jolfa on Iran-Azarbaijan Republic border, and can be reached by good road; rail (742 km from Tehran, with connections to Europe and Moscow), and air from Tehran, Istanbul and other major cities.
Situated at an altitude of 1,340 meters above sea level, 619 km northwest of Tehran, the second largest city in Iran until the late 1960's and one of its former capitals ( with a population of 1,400,000 according to 1992 census), Tabriz is in a valley to the north of the long ridge of Mount Sahand. The valley opens out into a plain that slopes down gently to the northern end of Lake Orumieh, 60 km to the west. The 160-km long Aji ,Chai or Talkheh River is the major river of the city, formed by merging of three smaller rivers, namely the Ab Nahand, Quri Chai, and Ojan Chai, all of which originate from the Sabalan Mountain and the heights in the southeastern part of the town. The river and streams join the Orumieh Lake after passing through the valleys between the Sorkhband and Yekkeh Chin mountain north of Tabriz and Osku district. Mehran River or Maidan Chai, also called Liqvan River, originates from the peaks between Karim and Sultan mountains overlooking the Liqvan village (a: major center of cheese production in Iran) near Esparakhoun and Qeshlaq. Its worst natural disadvantage, however, is its vulnerability to earthquakes, one of which utterly destroyed the city in 858. Rebuilt in a minor key, it was again devastated in 1041, when more than 40,000 people lost their lives.
By virtue of its situation, Tabriz has an agreeable summer climate, but the cold in winter is severe. Altogether, it has a continental climate with low humidity. The average annual rainfall is 288 mm.
The town has along and checkered history: Although the early history of Tabriz is shrouded in legend and mystery, the town's origins are believed to date back" to distant antiquity, perhaps even before the Sassanian era (224-651 AD). The oldest stone tablet with a reference to Tabriz is that of Sargon II, the Assyrian King. The tablet referrers to a place called Tauri Castle and Tarmkis. The historians believe that this castle was situated on the site of the present Tabriz. It was the capital of Azarbin the 3rd century AD and again under the Mongol Ilkhanid dynasty (1256-13 53), although for some time Maragheh supplanted it. During the reign of Aqa Khan of the Ilkhanids, as well as under the reign of Ghazan Khan, Tabriz reached the peak of 1 glory and Impotance. Many great artists and philosophers from allover the world traveled to Tabriz. During this same period 1 Khajeh Rashid od-Din Fazlollah, the i..: learned historian and Minister of Ghazan , Khan, built the famous Rob'e Rashidi center. In 1392, after the end of Mongol rule, the town was sacked by Tamerlane. It was soon restored under the Turkman tribe of r the Qara Qoyunlu, who established a short-lived local dynasty. Under the Safavids it rose from regional to national capital for a short period, but the second of the Safavid kings, Shah Tahmasb, moved the capital to Qazvin because of the vulnerability of Tabriz to Ottoman attacks. The town then went into a period of decline, fought over by the Iranians, Ottomans and Russians and struck by earthquake and disease.
Tabriz was the residence of the crown prince under the Qajar kings, themselves of Turkish stock, but the town did not return to prosperity until the second half of the 19th century .The greatest boost to Tabriz came with the opening up of Persia to the West at the turn of this century, when it became the main staging post between the interior of Iran and the Black Sea and, for a short time, the economic capital. In 1908 it was the center of a revolt against Mohammad Ali Shah, which was only put down with the brutal intervention of the Russians.
In the second Irano-Russian War the city was occupied by the Czar troops. however, it was returned to Iran following the signing of Turkmanchai Treaty, a peace and trade settlement that ended the Irano- Russian War of 1826-1828. The Iranian Constitutional Revolution originated in Tabriz and culminated during the reign of Mohammad Ali Shah of Qajar dynasty (1779-1925). Sat tar Khan and Baqer Khan were the two most prominent leading figures behind the movement. Tabriz was occupied by Russians several times in the first half of this century, including most of both world wars. A railway line to the border at Jolfa, built by the expansionist Russians, was of little importance until recently, but it has increased in significance in the '90s as a result of Iran's friendlier relations with its northern neighbors.
Get in
By plane
Daily flights from Tehran on Iran Air, Iran Aseman and other companies. Fare is 490,000 Rials for 1-way. Direct flights from Dubai have just started on Tue and Sat, operated by Kish Air (around 200 USD for 2-way). Direct flights from Istanbul (7 flights per week), operated by Turkish airlines (5 flights) and Iran air (2 flights); fare is around 250 USD for 2-way.There are also direct flights from Damsacus.
Flights to other Iranian cities are scarce. Ask your favourite Iranian travel agency for schedules.
By car
By the newly built bridge over the Urmia lake Tabriz is reachable from Urmia in 1.5 hours.
By train
Daily train from Tehran. 12 Hours travel (152,500 Rials for 1-way ).
Weekly to and from Istanbul, twice a week to Van, see [1].
By bus
Bus relations with major cities. 6-8 Hours travel from Tehran (normal ticket cost around 150,000 Rials for one-way).
Get around
City transport, awaiting the Metro currently under construction (and still for a long time) is limited to Taxis, shared taxis and buses.
Taxis can be chartered for a modest fee (around 20 USD if you need a driver and car for the whole day to visit the region!)
Shared taxis are even more of a bargain, but you will need to speak a few words of Persian and risk your life by stepping on the side of the road and scream your destination at passing-by Paykans. However, the experience of sharing a car with 4 locals of both genders and all ages (+ driver) can be fun! Odds are the fare won't be more than 10 cents (1.000 Rials) for a 10-minutes trip. Some drivers even refuse to be paid, the pleasure of chatting with a foreigner about the various plagues of Iran being apparently enough to make their day. (be careful of tarof, though)
Buses are difficult to take (no map, no schedule) and definitely not worth the experience when compared to shared taxis despite being quasi-free.
With a very rich history, Tabriz used to house many historical monuments. Unfortunately, many of them were destroyed in repeated invasions and attacks of foreign forces, negligence of the ruling governments, as well natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. What remains now mostly dates back to the Ilkhanids, the Safavids, and the Qajars. Some of the monuments are unrivaled masterpieces of architecture. The Shahrdari Square is the center of the town, on the south-west of which stands the imposing edifice of Municipality. The railway station (5 km from the center of the town) is at the western edge of the town. The Quri Chai river runs through Tabriz, and most places of interest to the visitor are to the south of this river and alone or north of Imam Khomeini Avenue.
Tabriz has been a place of cultural exchange since antiquity and its historic bazaar complex is one of the most important commercial centres on the Silk Road. Located in the center of the city of Tabriz, Iran, this spectacular structure consists of several sub-bazaars, such as Amir Bazaar (for gold and jewelry), Mozzafarieh (a carpet bazaar), a shoe bazaar, and many other ones for various goods. The most prosperous time of Tabriz and it's bazaar was in 13th century when town became the capital city of Safavid kingdom. The city lost it's status as capital in 16th century, but it's bazaar has been being important as a commercial and economic center. Although, numerous modern shops and malls have been established nowadays, the bazaar of Tabriz has remained economic heart of both the city and northwestern of Iran. It is worthy of mention that Tabriz bazaar has been being an important political place, and one can point out its importance in the Iranian Constitutional Revolution in the last century and Islamic Revolution in the contemporary time.
There are also numerous places to see around Tabriz. The mountainous region of south Azerbaijan offers breathtaking views and excellent treks among castles, rocky paths and remote villages.
The interiors of the dwellings, usually divided into a living and a bed room, are dimly lit; however, the villagers are used to it. The interconnecting corridors are very narrow. From the outside, the dwellings look so similar to each other that one may easily get lost in the village. Steep pathways and steps are made of rock pieces for animals as well as human beings. As the legend goes, the first people to settle here were the soldiers involved in military operations nearly 800 years ago, who found the cones by chance and used them as their temporary camouflage and accommodation. However, among archaeologists, it is considered to be of Pre-Islamic Period.
If you have (lots of) money, the Tabrizi carpets are among the finest in the world, and you will find masterpieces in shops and inside the Bazaar. Tabrizi rugs are among the most decorative rugs and frequently use colors like pink, red and cream. Rugs here are about 50% less than what you pay in the West, but you can typically only take 2-3 rugs back to your home country without paying a customs fee.
You can buy gold from Amir Bazar.
Tabrizi nuts are very famous.
Kabab(or Kebab), rice, Abgousht (Meat broth) some restaurants serve them all, but if you step inside a more modest Tchelowkebabi, odds are you won't have much choice apart from the traditional rice and kebab. But still you can finid some resturants which serve all, for instance there is a historical bath in tabriz which now has became a traditional resturant and it serves both Abgousht, Kufteh, and other foods. Kufteh Tabrizi (Meat ball) Tabrizians most popular food; very delicious.
Confectioneries and Dried Nuts there are lots of confectioneries which are speacially for tabriz Qurabiya is one of the most delicious and famous ones, there are other confectioneries such as Nuga(or Nuqa), others like Ris, there are also lots of other kinds of confectioneries, you may name Tabriz as the capital city for eating! Nuts just one thing: you don't wanna miss them, althogh they are a bit expensive but it's worth, they're very delicious. you can enjoy Tabriz so much, if you have a guide it will help you out to find and go to lots of monuments and also to save up lots of money, because they know how to and where to buy things to be affordable so the money you pay for your guide makes you enjoy, it depends on your luck if you find a good guide or not, but you can ask for it from tourist information.
Tea, dough, tea, Zamzam Cola, tea, Fanta, tea...
You could say that Iran isn't really a destination for binge drinking. It's more the kind of place for Tea and Hubble Bubble (Qalyan) lovers. Or sipping a glass of dough over some Tchelowkebab.
"Nightlife" may not have the same meaning in Iranian towns. Apart from private parties, you won't find anything even vaguely close to a nightclub in the whole country. However, places for getting out at night in Tabriz include ice & juice houses, kebab restaurants, Qalyan (hubble bubble), tchaikhaneh and walking around the Valiasr district. Nothing really exciting, but good enough for spending the evening chatting with friends or trying to meet young locals.
Recently Hotels and Guest Houses (Mosaferkhaneh) have to offer a same tariff for nationals and foreigners. In case of doubt, ask a local to compares your price by the one written on price board in Persian. Main place for regular Guest Houses in Tabriz is Ferdowsi Street and Amin Street. For Japanese Darya Guest House is more friendly. Some richer Turks often go Darya Hotel in Rah-Ahan Street, otherwise one of those in Ferdowsi Street. From best to worst:
Get out
There are comfortable night trains to Tehran. There is 2nd class sleeping train (6 people in one room) that leaves Tabriz at 8.30PM and arrives to Tehran at 9.30 AM. Price is 40 000 IR. The more comfortable choice is to take 1st class train for 170 000 IR. This train leaves at 5.30 PM and arrives to Tehran at 6 AM. There are 4 bed-rooms with TV and dinner is included in that price. To get the ticket you need to use some of travel agencies it the city or in the train station (this option only for recent day registration). For more info visit Iranian Passenger Railway [3]or Comprehensive Train Travel Site [4].

EXPO is also an opportunity to invite young learners, industry partners and community members to come and experience the research and design that are happening at the University of Idaho's College of Engineering.
Engineering EXPO is an excellent learning opportunity for community members and students from grade school through high school. EXPO is also an excellent venue for the university's partners in industry to converge on the University of Idaho campus to judge the senior design projects, to connect with faculty and other industry partners, and to recruit some of the finest engineering graduates in the nation.
The University of Idaho Engineering Design EXPO is our signature showcase of the innovation of our students. The College of Engineering has developed a program that focuses on teaching students the fundamentals of engineering during their first two years and then creating opportunities for students to use those fundamentals in the labs while also earning experiences in engineering design. Engineering EXPO is the culmination of this education process. Every U of I Engineering graduate participates in a senior capstone design course before they head to graduate school or the workforce. This process challenges Idaho engineering graduates to tackle real-world issues with the help of industry partners.

Tables are essential objects in a database because they hold all the information or data. For example, a database for a business can have a Contacts table that stores the names of their suppliers, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers. This article provides an overview of tables in Access. Before you create tables, consider your requirements and determine all the tables that you might need. For an introduction to planning and designing a database, see Database design basics.
In this article
A relational database like Access usually has several related tables. In a well-designed database, each table stores data about a particular subject, such as employees or products. A table has records (rows) and fields (columns). Fields have different types of data, such as text, numbers, dates, and hyperlinks.
A record: Contains specific data, like information about a particular employee or a product.
A field: Contains data about one aspect of the table subject, such as first name or e-mail address.
A field value: Each record has a field value. For example, Contoso, Ltd. or email@example.com.
Table and field properties
The characteristics and behavior of tables and fields are defined and controlled by the properties. A table's properties are set in the table's property sheet, For example, you can set a table's Default View property to specify how the table is displayed by default. A field's property defines an aspect of the field's behavior. You can also set field properties in Design view by using the Field Properties pane. Every field has a data type which defines the kind of information stored in the field. For example, multiple lines of text or currency are data types.
Table relationships
Although each table in a database stores data about a specific subject, tables in a relational database such as Access, store data about related subjects. For example, a database might contain:
A customers table that lists your company's customers and their addresses.
A products table that lists the products that you sell, including prices and pictures for each item.
An orders table that tracks customer orders.
To connect the data stored in different tables, you would create relationships. A relationship is a logical connection between two tables that have a common field.
Fields that are part of a table relationship are called keys. A key usually consists of one field, but may consist of more than one field. There are two kinds of keys:
Primary key: A table can have only one primary key. A primary key consists of one or more fields that uniquely identify each record that you store in the table. Access automatically provides a unique identification number, called an ID number that serves as a primary key. For more information, see adding or changing a table's primary key.
Foreign key: A table can have one or more foreign keys. A foreign key contains values that correspond to values in the primary key of another table. For example, you might have an Orders table in which each order has a customer ID number that corresponds to a record in a Customers table. The customer ID field is a foreign key of the Orders table.
The correspondence of values between key fields forms the basis of a table relationship. You use a table relationship to combine data from related tables. For example, suppose that you have a Customers table and an Orders table. In your Customers table, each record is identified by the primary key field, ID.
To associate each order with a customer, you add a foreign key field to the Orders table that corresponds to the ID field of the Customers table, and then create a relationship between the two keys. When you add a record to the Orders table, you use a value for customer ID that comes from the Customers table. Whenever you want to view any information about an order's customer, you use the relationship to identify which data from the Customers table corresponds to which records in the Orders table.
A primary key is identified by the key icon next to the field name.
A foreign key — note the absence of the key icon.
Benefits of using relationships
Keeping data separated in related tables produces the following benefits:
Consistency Because each item of data is recorded only once, in one table, there is less opportunity for ambiguity or inconsistency. For example, you store a customer's name only once, in a table about customers, rather than storing it repeatedly (and potentially inconsistently) in a table that contains order data.
Efficiency Recording data in only one place means you use less disk space. Moreover, smaller tables tend to provide data more quickly than larger tables. Finally, if you don't use separate tables for separate subjects, you will introduce null values (the absence of data) and redundancy into your tables, both of which can waste space and impede performance.
Comprehensibility The design of a database is easier to understand if the subjects are properly separated into tables.
Add a table to an Access desktop database
Create a new table if you have a new source of data that doesn't belong in any of your existing tables. There are several options for adding a table to your Access database such as, by creating a new database, by inserting a table into an existing database, or by importing or linking to a table from another data source — such as a Microsoft Excel workbook, a Microsoft Word document, a text file, a Web service, or another database. When you create a new, blank database, a new, empty table is automatically inserted for you. You can then enter data in the table to start defining your fields.
For more information on adding a field to a table, see the article Add a field to a table.
Create a new table in a new desktop database
Under File, click New > Blank desktop database.
In the File Name box, type a file name for the new database.
To save the database in a different location, click the folder icon.
Click Create.
The new database opens, with a new table named Table1, rename the table based on the type of data it stores.
Create a new table in an existing database
Click File >Open, and click the database if it is listed under Recent. If not, select one of the browse options to locate the database.
Under Create, click Table.
A new table is added and opens in Datasheet view.
External data
You can link to a variety of external data sources, such as other databases, text files, and Excel workbooks. When you link to external data, Access can use the link as if it were a table. Depending on the external data source and the way that you create the link, you can edit the data in the linked table, and can create relationships that involve the linked table. However, you cannot change the design of the external data by using the link.
Import or link to create a table
You can create a table by importing or linking to data that is stored elsewhere. You can import or link to data in an Excel worksheet, a Windows SharePoint Services list, an XML file, another Access database, a Microsoft Outlook folder, and more.
When you import data, you create a copy of the data in a new table in the current database. Subsequent changes to the source data will have no effect on the imported data, and changes to the imported data do not affect the source data. After you connect to a data source and import its data, you can then use the imported data without connecting to the source. You can change the design of an imported table.
When you link to data, you create a linked table in the current database that represents a live link to the existing information that is stored elsewhere. When you change data in a linked table, you are changing it in the source. Whenever data changes in the source, that change is shown in the linked table. You must be able to connect to the data source whenever you use a linked table. You cannot change the design of a linked table.
Note: You cannot edit data in an Excel worksheet by using a linked table. As a workaround, import the source data into an Access database, and then link to the database from Excel. For more information about linking to Access from Excel, search Excel Help
Create a new table by importing or linking to external data
On the External Data tab, in the Import & Link group, click one of the available data sources.
Follow the instructions in the dialog boxes that appear at each step.
Access creates the new table and displays it in the Navigation Pane.
Tip: You can also import or link to a SharePoint list, for more information, see Import from or link data to a SharePoint list.
Use a Web service to create a table
You can create a table in your database that connects to data at a Web site that provides a Web service interface.
Note: Web service tables are read-only.
On the External Data tab, in the Import & Link group, click More and then click Data Services.
If the connection you want to use has already been installed, skip to step 5. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
Click Install new connection.
Select the connection file that you want to use, and then click OK.
In the Create Link to Web Service Data dialog box, expand the connection that you want to use.
Select the table that you want to link to. Access displays the fields on the right side of the dialog box.
Optionally, type a name for the linked table in the Specify link name box. Access will use this name for the linked table in the Navigation Pane.
Click OK. Access creates the linked table.
Set table properties in a desktop database
You can set properties that apply to an entire table or to entire records.
Select the table whose properties you want to set.
On the Home tab, in the Views group, click View, and then click Design View.
On the Design tab, in the Show/Hide group, click Property Sheet.
On the property sheet, click the General tab.
Click the box to the left of the property that you want to set, and then enters a setting for the property. To see a list of table properties, click Available Table Properties.
Press CTRL+S to save your changes.
Use this table property
Display Views On SharePoint Site
Specify whether views that are based on the table can be displayed on a SharePoint site.
Note: The effects of this setting depend on the setting of the Display All Views On SharePoint Site database property.
Subdatasheet Expanded
Expand all subdatasheets when you open the table.
Subdatasheet Height
Do one of the following:
If you want the subdatasheet window to expand to display all rows, leave this property set at 0".
If you want to control the height of the subdatasheet, enter the desired height in inches.
Set the view orientation, according to whether your language is read left-to-right, or right-to-left.
Provide a description of the table. This description will appear in tooltips for the table.
Default View
Set Datasheet, PivotTable, or PivotChart as the default view when you open the table.
Validation Rule
Enter an expression that must be true whenever you add or change a record.
Validation Text
Enter a message that is displayed when a record violates the expression in the Validation Rule property.
Define criteria to display only matching rows in Datasheet view.
Order By
Select one or more fields to specify the default sort order of rows in Datasheet view.
Subdatasheet Name
Specify whether a subdatasheet should appear in Datasheet view, and if so, which table or query should supply the rows in the subdatasheet.
Link Child Fields
List the fields in the table or query that are used for the subdatasheet that match the Link Master Fields property that is specified for the table.
Link Master Fields
List the fields in the table that match the Link Child Fields property that is specified for the table.
Filter On Load
Automatically apply the filter criteria in the Filter property (by setting to Yes) when the table is opened in Datasheet view.
Order By On Load
Automatically apply the sort criteria in the Order By property (by setting to Yes) when the table is opened in Datasheet view.
Tip: To provide more space to enter or edit a setting in the property box, press SHIFT+F2 to display the Zoom box. If you are setting the Validation Rule property to an expression and would like help in building it, click next to the ValidationRule property box to display the Expression Builder.
Add a field to a table in an Access desktop database
You store each piece of data that you want to track in a field. For example, in a contacts table you create fields for Last Name, First Name, Telephone Number, and Address. In a products table you create fields for Product Name, Product ID, and Price.
Before you create fields, try to separate data into its smallest useful parts. It is much easier to combine data later than it is to pull it apart. For example, instead of a Full Name field, consider creating separate fields for Last Name and First Name. Then, you can easily search or sort by First Name, Last Name, or both. If you plan to report, sort, search, or calculate on an item of data, put that item in a field by itself.
After you create a field, you can also set field properties to control its appearance and behavior.
You can create a new field in Access by entering data in a new column in Datasheet view. When you create a field by entering data in Datasheet view, Access automatically assigns a data type for the field, based on the value that you enter. If no other data type is implied by your input, Access sets the data type to Text but you can change the data type
Add a field by entering data
When you create a new table or open an existing table in Datasheet view, you can add a field to the table by entering data in the Add New Field column of the datasheet.
1. Enter data in the blank Add New Field column.
To add a new field:
Create or open a table in Datasheet view.
In the Add New Field column, enter the name of the field that you want to create. Use a descriptive name so that the field will be easier to identify.
Enter data in the new field.
Set a field's properties
After you create a field, you can set field properties to control its appearance and behavior.
For example, by setting field properties, you can:
Control the appearance of data in a field
Help prevent incorrect data entry in a field
Specify default values for a field
Help speed up searching and sorting on a field
You can set some of the available field properties while you work in Datasheet view. To have access to and set the complete list of field properties; however, you must use Design view.
Set field properties in Datasheet view
You can rename a field; change its data type, change its Format property, and change some of a field's other properties while you work in Datasheet view.
To open a table in Datasheet view: In the Navigation Pane, right-click the table and on the shortcut menu, click Datasheet view.
To rename a field: When you add a field by entering data in Datasheet view, Access automatically assigns a generic name to the field. Access assigns the name Field1 to the first new field, Field2 to the second new field, and so on. By default, a field's name is used as its label wherever the field is displayed, such as a column heading on a datasheet. Renaming fields so that they have more descriptive names helps make them easier to use when you view or edit records.
Right-click the heading of the field that you want to rename (for example, Field1).
On the shortcut menu, click Rename Column.
Enter the new name in the field heading.
Field names can consist of up to 64 characters (letters or numbers), including spaces.
Change a field's data type
When you create a field by entering data in Datasheet view, Access examines that data to determine the appropriate data type for the field. For example, if you enter 1/1/2006, Access recognizes that data as a date and sets the data type for the field to Date/Time. If Access can't definitively determine the data type, the data type is set to Text by default.
The data type of the field determines which other field properties you can set. For example, you can set only the Append Only property for a field that has the Hyperlink data type or the Memo data type.
There may be cases where you want to manually change a field's data type. For example, suppose you have room numbers that resemble dates, such as 10/2001. If you enter 10/2001 into a new field in Datasheet view, the automatic data type detection feature selects the Date/Time data type for the field. Because room numbers are labels, and not dates, they should use the Text data type. Use the following procedure to change a field's data type.
Click the Datasheet tab.
In the Data Type list, in the Data Type & Formatting group, select the data type that you want.
Change a field's format
In addition to determining the data type of a new field, Access may also set the Format property for the field, depending on what you enter. For example, if you enter 10:50 a.m., Access sets the data type to Date/Time and the Format property to Medium Time. To manually change a field's Format property, do the following:
On the Ribbon, click the Datasheet tab.
In the Format list, in the Data Type & Formatting group, enter the format that you want.
Note: The Format list may be unavailable for some fields (for example, Text), depending on the data type of the field.
Set other field properties
In Datasheet view, click the field for which you want to set the property.
On the Datasheet tab, in the Data Type & Formatting group, select the properties that you want.
Set field properties
You can set a field property by opening the table in Design view.
To open a table in Design view : In the Navigation Pane, right-click the table, and on the shortcut menu, click Design View.
To change a field's data type : Locate the field name for which you want to set the data type, click the Data Type field, and then choose a data type from the list.
To set other field properties : In the table design grid, select the field for which you want to set properties. In the Field Properties pane, enter the settings that you want for each property. Press CTRL+S.to save your changes.
Note: The properties that you can set, depends on the field's data type.
Save a table
After you create or modify a table, in a desktop database you should save its design. When you save a table for the first time, give it a name that describes the data that it contains. You can use up to 64 alphanumeric characters, including spaces. For example, you might name a table Customers, Parts Inventory, or Products.
Access gives you lots of flexibility when it comes to naming your tables; however, there are some restrictions to be aware of. A table name can be up to 64 characters long, can include any combination of letters, numbers, spaces, and special characters except a period (.), exclamation point (!), square brackets ([]), leading space, leading equal sign (=), or nonprintable character such as a carriage return. The name also cannot contain any of the following characters:` / \ : ; * ? " ' < > | # <TAB> { } % ~ &.
Tip: You should decide on a naming convention for the objects in your database, and use it consistently.
Click Save on the Quick Access Toolbar or press CTRL + S.
If you are saving the table for the first time, type a name for the table, and then click OK.

One-pot herb garden
I'm not one of those green-thumb people. I really am not. I've killed many a potted plant, among them cacti and even aloe vera. So, it's not without trepidation that I took this lovely one-pot herb garden home.
I've been wanting to have potted herbs at home for a long time though. Every Spring I mumble to myself, this year for sure, this year I'll grow my own herbs. I've grown tried of buying expensive, emaciated-looking herbs in little plastic packets from the store, yet every time I buy them in big bunches at the farmers market so much go to waste because I just don't use enough at a time.
A few weeks ago I made my usual early Spring grumble in front of Cynthia at the garden. Last week I went up there and there it was, a big "strawberry pot" filled with gorgeous, vibrant, vigorous-looking herbs, ready for me to take home. Cynthia has made it especially for me.
Unlike my black thumbs, Cynthia's are not only green they sparkle with magic garden dust. Everything she touches grows and grows and produces the most delectable of produce. Her Love Apple Farm--the kitchen garden for Manresa--has turned me from a city-girl afraid of dirt under her fingernails to someone who barely brushes off dirt from a freshly-pulled carrot before devouring it.
So, when she insisted even I could keep this one-pot garden, I chose to forget my old black-thumb days and believe her. How hard can this be? I live in (mostly) sunny California. I feed my cat in the morning, then feed my Bob, I'll just add watering my herbs to the routine and I should be set. Well, I hope. It's only been a few days yet. Check back with me.
I now have nearly all the herbs I need in my regular cooking: four kinds of basil (Thai basil, purple basil, regular basil and the mini greek basil), beautiful silver thyme, cilantro, parsley, tarragon, mint, and rosemary.
If this pot survives and thrives, I might even get a second one, with room for one or two more herbs not in the first pot, like chervil and a couple different kinds of chive. I'll probably add more basil as well. I use so much basil I could easily have the whole pot filled with basil alone. I wonder if lemongrass will grow in one of this? I might just give it a try. Eventually you should be able to tell a story of my cooking from just looking at my potted herbs.
Have you got an herb pot or two? What do you have? Any advice for a novice like me?
Also, if you want to try making your own herb pots, Alanna at A Veggie Venture has some very good advice, and so do the hip kids at Apartment Therapy's re-nest.

Flea Market Dealers Key to Farnsley '83 Researchby Howard Hewitt • November 14, 2007 Share:
In sharing his research interviewing flea market dealers, alumnus Art Farnsley '83 said he's discovered much about himself during the 2007 Eric Dean Lecture in Religion.
Farnsley is the Executive Director of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion. He holds a Ph.D. in the sociology of religion and has written books on welfare reform, Southern Baptist politics, and American religion.
He has become a leading expert on faith-based initiatives, has a strong interest in folk art, and is a champion tomahawk thrower.
He spent the early part of his lecture talking about growing up and struggling with religious issues. He also struggled with what his major would be at Wabash. Classes with Ed McLean and Bill Placher gave him a direction. But as he earned his Ph.D. and became involved in research, he avoided the traditional teaching positions, though he has lectured at numerous universities.
He became interested in "the way institutions shape our lives."
"Folk art and flea market dealers are people who live their lives outside of institutions," he told a Center Hall classroom of students and faculty members. So he began interviewing flea market dealers about their religious beliefs. He found the great majority believed in God, but did not attend church. They "generally hold literal religious beliefs."
Farnsley said they don't vote, don't watch TV preachers, and overwhelmingly don't trust the government. Still, in other areas they are more ambivalent. They don't hold strong beliefs on abortion or gay rights. "I don't care what people do in private," he summarized as their beliefs.
"Because they are outside institutional contact, they don't have a stake in the issues," he offered. Still, the same groups of people strongly believe that God intervenes in people's lives. "They are common people who believe the right things – the things their mother and father and grandparents believed. Academics are just eggheads."
He characterized their beliefs that "God cares about the little people and intervenes on their behalf."
His research turned reflective as it unfolded. "I figured out this was about me," Farnsley said. "How did I lose this built-in, institutional belief in God? I believe in the power of community, but fear what they force people to believe — whether they're liberal or conservative."
He found he had more in common with the flea market dealers than he ever imagined. "They're skeptical that rich and powerful people are going to help them." The rich and powerful represent institutions. The dealers put more faith in God than government.
Farnsley finds conflict and comfort in analyzing the research. "I'm considerably more patriotic than I am religious," he suggested. But he too has doubts about government, but believes in institutions. He serves on several boards and his wife is a vice president at Cummins Engine.
He believes the research is helping him find himself. "I'm not the first guy to consider these things but maybe the first to use flea market dealers to find myself."

Body Found in Lake IDed As Missing Minnesota Woman
CHISAGO CITY (AP) - Authorities in eastern Minnesota say a body pulled from a small lake is that of an Oakdale woman missing for five months.
The Chisago County sheriff's office says crews recovered the woman's body from the water Friday. The Anoka County medical examiner's office positively identified the body as that of Danielle Jelinek.
Jelinek was reported missing on Dec. 9 after she disappeared from a home in Chisago Lakes Township.
Sheriff Rick Duncan has said the last person to see Jelinek is a man family members describe as a friend with whom Jelinek had a past romantic relationship.
The sheriff's office says the investigation continues.

WOLCOTT, Colo. (Sept. 24, 2012) – Behind the strong play of sophomore Gabrielle Wahl (Heidenheim, Germany) and junior transfer Lourdes Lopez (Cadiz, Spain), the ETSU women's golf team began play Monday in the Golfweek Conference Challenge with an impressive showing and currently stands fourth in the 18-team field at the Red Sky Golf Club's Fazio Course.
Both Wahl and Lopez carded first-round scores of 1-over-par 73 to finish tied for 17th on the team leaderboard. The Bucs duo is currently five strokes back of Oklahoma's Chirapat Jao-Javanil, who holds a one-stroke lead over a trio of players after posting a first round score of 4-under 68.
As a team, the Bucs finished the day at 10-over 298 to tie for fourth with former Atlantic Sun Conference foe Campbell, a team that is now a member of the Big South Conference. Both the Bucs and the Camels find themselves 12 strokes back of Pepperdine and Oklahoma, as those two teams finished the day atop the team leaderboard at 2-under 286.
"This was a very good start for us in a tournament with a quality field," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "Gabs and Lourdes both had good rounds today, and as a team we were pretty solid from the top to the bottom of our lineup."
As for the rest of the Bucs, junior Sian Evans (Gillingham, England) and senior Chloe Garner both finished at 4-over-par 76 to tie for 39th, while freshman Vivienne Chin is currently tied for 45th at 5-over 77.
Second round play at the Golfweek Conference Challenge will continue on Tuesday, followed by third and final round play on Wednesday. Fans can watch live scoring and get complete results by visiting Golfstat.com, while ETSUBucs.com will have a complete wrap up following each day's action.

However, for California cotton and rice growers, Feinstein and Boxer's modification of their positions on the controversial Dorgan-Grassley payment limitation amendment was profound and not soon forgotten.
"All California cotton growers owe a debt of gratitude to Calcot and those producers who sat down with Sen. Feinstein and laid out the facts of how the Dorgan/Grassley amendment would impact them individually," said California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association President Earl Williams.
Calcot President Tom Smith; board chairman Bruce Heiden of Arizona; vice chairmen Fred Starrh and Charlie Fanucchi, both of Kern County and Tranquility, Calif., producer and former Calcot chairman John Pucheu met with Feinstein for an hour.
Producers grilled
The meeting was to last only 30 minutes, but Feinstein grilled the producers on their individual operations, asking very specific questions about how much money each made and other detailed questions about their operations.
The Calcot delegation was involved in 16 meetings during its two-day visit to Washington, but Smith said the one with Feinstein was the "most significant. The meeting lasted over an hour and included some very pointed questions and some very frank answers about the personal farming operations of four board officers of Calcot."
Based on those answers, Feinstein limited her support of the Dorgan/Grassley amendment to only provisions that would deny loans and payments to producers if adjusted gross income of owner or operator for the previous three tax years attributable to farming exceeded $2.5 million.
"This has become known at the millionaires' amendment and would not impact very many growers who earn their income from farming," added Smith.
Feinstein asked Boxer to sign the joint letter and the junior senator agreed. Once the Calcot delegation saw the Feinstein/Boxer letter, even they were surprised by its "intensity of conviction."
In their letter to Republicans Tom Harkins, Senate Ag Committee chair, and Richard Lugar, ranking member of the Senate ag committee, the two California senators said, "We are concerned about the impact payment limitations will have on family farmers in California and respectfully request that you recede to the House provisions where the Senate language hurts California.
Eliminate safety net
Noting that the Senate's $275,000 limit will "hit rice and cotton farmers first and would hit them the hardest," they also wrote that restricting the used of commodity certificates eliminates a farmers' safety net.
"We should not deny essential financial assistance to commercial-sized farming operations in California when prices are extraordinarily low, while farmers in other regions of the country receive assistance on every bushel," the senators wrote.
"Large cotton and rice farms in California are family farms which should continue to receive payments, and not be discriminated against because of their size.
"These are not millionaires, but hard working family farmers," they said.
Williams said the Boxer-Feinstein position likely would have a significant impact across the Senate. "These are respected members of the Senate and as such, senators from other parts of the country would likely seek their council on this issue. The significance of the Feinstein-Boxer letter will extend well beyond the borders of California," said Williams.
Smith said the significance of the Feinstein-Boxer clarification letter cannot be understated because both voted for Dorgan/Grassley payment limited amendment.
"The letter was magnanimous and much appreciated by California cotton farmers," said Williams. "Calcot is to be commended for its valiant efforts on behalf of all California cotton producers."
