The Online Marketplace features great merchandise and services from local, trusted businesses who are customers of our newspaper. Using auction-style bidding, you can place bids on items available from these local vendors and, if you are the highest bidder, pay for and receive a certificate to pick up the item directly from the vendor. Bidding on items is controlled by the Bidder Trust Committee, the software that accepts and places bids on your behalf and oversees the whole bidding process to ensure fairness. A predetermined set of guidelines that are explained in the Official Rules governs the entire process on behalf of bidders.
The Online Marketplace also features Proxy Bidding which means that you can submit a Maximum Secret Bid for an item and let the Bidder Trust Committee act on your behalf to submit bids up to your maximum if your current leading bid is outbid by another participant's bid.
The benefit of this type of bidding is that you do not have to constantly submit one bid after another when you are outbid, and consequently, do not have to follow the bidding minute by minute as it unfolds. When the bidding is finished, the person who has submitted the highest bid will buy the item at no more than $10 over the second place bid (or $100 more for items with a value of $10,000 or greater and $1 for items with a value of less than $100).
Not only is this a tremendous opportunity to purchase featured items at unheard-of prices, but bidding is competitive, exciting and fun!
Bidding is as easy as ...
When the bidding ends, you will be contacted by email or phone if you hold a Winning Bid for any item.
The website always shows the current status of each item, as well as your personal bid history. You can also keep a 'watch list' of those items which you wish to track.
If you are outbid on an item by another bidder, you will receive a notice via email. In this case, you might want to consider placing a new, higher Maximum Secret Bid to still try to win the item.
For most items, you will pay online at this website, or by telephone, with your credit card. Your payment is to the newspaper, which is collecting the selling price on behalf of the business sponsoring the item. Your payment is due immediately after the close of the auction. As soon as your payment is complete, you will receive a certificate to redeem at the business which sponsored the item. For some items, such as automobiles and real estate, you will pay the vendor directly. Please read your winning bid email notice carefully for payment instructions.
Because this is not a live event, you cannot react instantly to someone bidding against you on the same item. For this reason, we use a system called Proxy Bidding. Under Proxy Bidding, you tell the Bidder Trust Committee the most you are willing to pay for an item. This is your Maximum Secret Bid and is known only to you and the Trust Committee. The Trust Committee then places a bid on your behalf at the lowest level possible to make you the Leading Bidder for the item.
If another Bidder places a bid on the same item and their Maximum Secret Bid is less than yours but greater than your leading bid, the Trust Committee automatically raises your bid in $10 increments (or $100 for items with a Value of $10,000 or more greater and $1 for items with a value of less than $100) until you are again the Leading Bidder or your Maximum Secret Bid is reached.
Your bid will not exceed your Maximum Secret Bid unless you submit a new, higher Maximum Secret Bid.
By using a Maximum Secret Bid, you save yourself the trouble of having to enter a new bid every time another bidder bids on the item, and you reduce the chances of being outbid at the last minute before the bidding ends.
Each item has a Reserve Value. This is the minimum amount that bidding must reach for the item to be sold. The Reserve Value is usually about 50% of the actual Value of the item. If the Reserve Value is not reached through bidding, the item will not be sold.
During the course of bidding, each item will display one of two Reserve Statuses:
Reserve not met. The amount of the highest bid is less than the Reserve Value and the item has not yet sold.
Reserve met. The amount of the highest bid is at least as much as the Reserve Value and the item will be sold to the highest bidder.
If your Maximum Secret Bid is the first to meet or exceed the Reserve Value, the Bidder Trust Committee will automatically place your bid at the Reserve Value and declare reserve met for that item.
At any point while bidding is in progress, Bidders A and B could enter higher Maximum Secret Bids, to attempt to outbid Bidder C, or additional bidders could enter the bidding on this item, making for a competitive and exciting auction-style online marketplace.
Please read the Bidder FAQ and the Official Rules for more information about the Online Marketplace.

Ahh, Malabrigo, my favorite of all yarn lines. Today's offering from Little Knits 12 days of Little Sales is Malabrigo Rios. My favorite yarn from my favorite manufacturer!
It's going to be really hard for me to pass up an opportunity to get the lovely Rios at 20% off, but I might be helped by the fact that I snuck up to Little Knits sans toddler a weekend or two ago and snagged three skeins of Aguas.
Rios is a fantastic yarn. It's a worsted weight (4.5-5.5 stitches to an inch on U.S. size 6-8 needles), superwash, 100% merino wool. It is uber soft, squishy and cosy, and comes in many of Malabrigo's always beautiful colors.
I've used Rios for a variety of projects, and it has held up well in all of them.
This hat (yes, another Thorpe, I know, I'm obsessed!) was knit over a year ago, and has held up amazingly well. Being worn all winter (which can drag on until June here in Seattle), and stuffed into a diaper bag along with toys and snacks and all associated detritus when not being worn, hardly affected it. When it got cold again this fall, I chose Rios again to knit up a new one, since he had grown out of this one.
Rios is fantastic for items worn against the skin. These Dashing mitts get a lot of wear and still look lovely!
If you're looking for an uber soft worsted weight wool, Rios is unbeatable, and the fact that it's superwash is icing on the (yarn) cake!

With a brand new, sleek design and enhanced control capabilities, the new Sony NEX-6 camera packs all the imaging power, shooting responsiveness, handling and operability of a DSLR into a pocket-sized mirrorless camera, according to the company.
The newest addition to Sony's E-mount camera lineup includes Fast Hybrid AF, Wi-Fi capabilities and the Play Memories Camera Apps platform recently introduced on Sony's new NEX-5R model, as well as the same high-resolution XGA OLED Tru-Finder viewfinder found on the flagship NEX-7 model. Additionally, the NEX-6 adds a standard DSLR-style mode dial for fast, simple navigation between settings.
The camera's large Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor offers 16.1 effective megapixels. It is teamed with a Bionz image processor that ensures flawless, low-noise images at extended sensitivity settings up to ISO 25600, Sony claimed.
The Fast Hybrid AF system combines phase- and contrast-detect AF methods. It uses 99 phase-detection AF points arrayed on the image sensor to detect a subject's distance and direction to quickly lock focus on it, and then utilizes contrast-detection AF to confirm extremely fine focus detail. In Speed Priority Continuous shooting mode, the camera automatically switches to phase detection tracking AF to track fast-moving action accurately in each frame at up to 10 frames per second, the company highlighted.
As with the flagship NEX-7 camera, the NEX-6 model features an XGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF for precision framing and focusing. This 2.36 million dot electronic viewfinder gives a bright, detail-packed, high contrast view of still images and video, with 100% frame coverage and a wide field of view. On-screen grid lines and a digital level gauge can be displayed to assist with accurate framing.
The OLED Tru-Finder EVF is complemented by a 3.0-inch Xtra Fine LCD display that can be angled up to 90-degrees up or 45-degrees down for easy viewing in virtually any shooting position, Sony said. The LCD screen ensures detail and contrast with significantly reduced on-screen reflections, aiding composition when shooting outdoors or in direct light.
Shared with the NEX-5R model, integrated Wi-Fi on the NEX-6 camera allows photos to be transferred wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet running Sony's free PlayMemories Mobile app, available on both Android and Apple iOS platforms. Additionally, content can be directly uploaded from the camera to Facebook using a Wi-Fi connection and the new Direct Upload application, part of Sony's new PlayMemories Camera Apps platform.
The service can be accessed over Wi-Fi or when the camera is connected directly to a PC via USB.
Sony has also introduced three new lenses for its E-mount line of interchangeable lens cameras, adding to the system's flexibility.
The new SELP1650 lens is an extremely light, compact 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 powered zoom model that measures only 29.9mm thick (when fully retracted) and contains built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization for clearer handheld images.
Additionally, it features a dual-function ring that controls both power zoom and manual focus, depending on the camera's focus mode. With the camera set to AF the control ring adjusts smooth, high-speed zoom with small hand movements. With the camera in MF mode, the ring controls manual focus. A smooth power zoom dial makes the lens particularly useful for shooting video.
The new SEL35F18 lens is a wide aperture 35mm focal length model with a bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 and built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. It offers excellent optical sharpness, clarity, and background defocus in both still images and HD video, and is exceptionally light and easy to carry.
The new SEL1018 lens is a super-wide angle zoom with a maximum aperture of f/4.0 across its range of 10-18mm and built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. Adopting the super Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass which reduces color aberration, the lens is capable of producing dramatic perspective effects and is ideal for shooting landscapes and interiors.
The NEX-6 compact system camera will be available November 2012 in a kit with the SELP1650 power zoom lens for about US$1,000. It will also be offered as body-only for about US$850.
The SELP1650 power zoom lens will be sold separately in January 2013 for about US$350, and the SEL35F18 prime and SEL1018 wide angle lenses will be available November 2012 for about US$450 and US$850, respectively.

For the past few weekends we've been talking about heading off into farm country and doing what every respectable family does this time of year and enjoy the fleeting warm temperatures and glorious colors of fall by going pumpkin picking. So with the weather positively glorious Sunday afternoon. Think 75 degrees and bright blue skies streaked with a few passing clouds. A 2 year old that refused to take a nap and a desire to check one of our October activities off our list. We decided to head out and take advantage of the beautiful fall day that had presented itself to us.
We hopped in the truck and drove about 30 minutes southwest to Long Valley, New Jersey and the home of Ort Farms. Of course our non-napping toddler dosed off promptly 5 minutes before arrival but upon hearing that there were monster trucks and pumpkins to be picked he perked up rather quickly.
Ort farms did not disappoint, with the warm weather, crowds Ray Ban outlet of people enjoying the fall festivities and Nikolas excitement at riding in the back of a tractor and picking pumpkins from a patch, we were together and having a blast. Not to mention the views and hot apple cider topped off a lovely afternoon.

Hey Flying.. Im actually close to Salem but it would still be a long drive for you. I ride with another hand cycler who uses a Bionix because well he is in his 60's and has tore up shoulders from riding so many years. We have AB riders who go along also but our rides are more recreational and not fast I train alone and that's when I do speed and distance work. We have done the Row River Trail before and its a fun time.
I have a Marathon on June 16th and I have Football agility camp the following week for 3 days but after that im pretty open. I will say im a fair weather rider I raced in April on my old Force G in the rain and I hated it. ha ha. Well let me know when you might think you might be going and I will see about coming down I will stay over night because its a distance to drive after a 30 mile ride.
Dear Flying
I saw where you stated you were getting KAFOs. Just to give you some encouragement I have the same injury as you and I was told I would never get out of the bed until I went to mayo clinic and got kafos. Kafos is the greatest tool us paras could have. It makes me feel more normal and I do not use a wheelchair at all anymore. I wake up at 7 and put my kafos on and I go to bed at 11 and then take them off. It is a tough road to get to this point but its worth it. If you ever have any questions please pm me. Tks Ron
Hey man actually Brookings near the coast border of Cali...The goats r @ Bandon Big Cat Refuge, its funn there.. Yeah I was 170 lbs swim, run, weights, pretty muscular and retained most of my upper strength, case C-5/6 no tris n just wrist extendors, but full shoulders, biceps, n pretty full forearms still.. I'm holdin it together thnxs fer askin.. Luv tht glider, n man thats gotta feel great get the heart pumpin, havea great cycle trip !!
Hi, your avatar caught my attention. Prior to my injury, aviation was my passion. Instrument, single and multi engine rated. I have no use of my legs, so anything that requires rudder input is out of the question.
Would be very interested to learn of your experience with aviation.
Hi, I'm East of Salem near Stayton. Been to Coos Bay many times. Nice. Take care. Ramey
well crack up is better than being on crack ha lol. Ohio is having elections so people are going nuts here and it's not summer anymore so it's colder; I'm working on a ph. d. and I have no feeling left in my brain otherwise I am fantastic.
That was a great video! It was a beautiful weekend to be up in the air, I'm sure. How old is your daughter? She did a good job putting the video together. Looks like it was warmer in Powers than was down here in North Bend. Today (Tuesday) sure is nice though... except now I'm back at work!
And it looks very close to the eastern part of Norway where I am living. I am living in Oslo but around the city it looks nearly like this. The soil is a little darker here, more brown like s... Thank you, that was so funny to see
Hi David, I returned from Oregon last week. It was so beautiful. I did a little floating in Bend. I saw the gorge and the waterfalls. I also went to the The Edgefield.. I did not have enough time as it was a family reunion. I hope to return and see the coast.
Great picture of your Rans!!!
Hi David~
I will be 4 years post this fall. I have always been a loner, so being inside my little cocoon is not sci induced. I hope that at some point your situation will change and allow you to do the things you want most. Thank you for taking the time to say hello.
Haha that's funny about the Gravitron, Went to the fair on Friday. We were there quite a while. It's pretty accessible once you get down the big hill @ the entryway. They've changed the livestock barns so they're easier to navigate. Chickens/rabbits building is still cramped and bumpy though. You need to go next year!
Sorry its been awhile! Are you going to the fair this week? I think the family and I will try to make it there on Friday.
And to answer your question about swimming at the North Bend pool... it's COLD! My kids go all the time, but I could never stand it! It would be nice to run into you one of these days. There are a few of us in chairs around here, maybe one of these days we can all get together. Have a wonderful day.
I am living in Oslo, but I have been visiting Svalbard, I think you call it Spitsbergen and that is the North Pole
I love the short summer nights and hate the long and dark winters. I am always surprised when I am in places when it is getting dark 7pm in the summer, here we are without sun about 3 hours and it is not real dark.
I am a T11 T12 and I can't walk anymore. I lost the possibility to walk about four years ago but has been in a chair around seven years but I am 41 years post so it is not so strange. The feet and under the knees are close to normal but the rest is not for walking.
My kids were at the pool last night! They have a lift, but I don't think I would be caught dead getting in the water... I love the picture of your family, it looks like you guys have a beautiful place. Have you been able to do home modifications?
Saw your new profile pic, thats a nice looking ultra-light Have you been up after your injury?
Hi, David, I am 18 years post injury, July 24, 9:10 am....where are you in Oregon. I'm going up there next month. Flying into Portland and driving up to Bend. I have never been up there, and I am pretty excited. One of my best friend's lives up there and her family is having a reunion. Lisa
I hope to hit the lottery and buy a rudderless Ercoupe someday.
David.... I did not know it was a single place. Of course it is your decision amd you know your capabilities but I would not fly that plane. You will probably be disappointed after flying a Kolb. The QS performance is going to be much less impressive. If you do choose to fly it... do iton a calm day!!!!
Not married... divorced... my 17 year old son lives with me every other week.
I guess to answer your question.... The fact that you are asking my opinion tells me you are questioning whether you should fly with your friend or not. That means the answer should probably be no. Alot of my decision of whether to go would be based on the level of your friends flying skills and the condition of the airplane and the level at which it is maintained. A two axis quicksilver would not be my first choice of airplanes to return to the air after having come close to dying once before. Personally I would not do it.
To answer the other part of your question... No I have not flown since my accident except on a commercial airliner. Mostly because the airfield where I was based was closed and sold. They built a new high school on the property and the group of flyers have all dispersed to other regional fields in the area. I have not kept in touch with most of them.
What kind of plane did you have your accident in and how many hours had you flown?

The Ph.D. Grind
A Ph.D. Student Memoir
June 2012 (perspective of a Ph.D. student)
The Ph.D. Grind, a 115-page e-book, is the first known detailed account of an entire Ph.D. experience.
This book is free, but you can support it via Patreon, PayPal, or credit/debit card.
This book chronicles my six years of working towards a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Stanford University from 2006 to 2012. A diverse variety of people can benefit from reading it, including:
The Ph.D. Grind differs from existing Ph.D.-related writings due to its unique format, timeliness, and tone:
Finally, before I begin my story, I want to emphasize that there is a great deal of diversity in Ph.D. student experiences depending on one's school, department, field of study, and funding situation. I feel very fortunate that I have been granted so much freedom and autonomy throughout my Ph.D. years; I know students who have experienced far more restrictions. My story is only a single data point, so what I present might not generalize. However, I will try my best to avoid being overly specific. Happy reading!
Philip Guo
The best way to read this book is by downloading the 115-page PDF and then printing it out or reading it on an electronic device.
If you have a Kindle (or similar device), you can download the MOBI e-book version. If you have a Nook, iBooks reader, or another EPUB reader, you can download the EPUB version. However, neither of these formats look as polished as the PDF.
Alternatively, you can also read it in your web browser by following these chapter links:
Finally, if you want a 10–20 minute summary of the book, read The Ph.D. Grind: tl;dr Edition.
Here are some notable comments from readers. (Note that "CS" stands for Computer Science.)
"You've done a good job of explaining just what this thing called PhD
actually is, and that is a service to the world, both to people
contemplating entering a PhD program, and for those who have to deal
with the products of a program ..."
"Phil Guo's short online book, The PhD Grind, is the best description of
the modern PhD experience in CS that I know of. People working on, or
thinking about working on, a PhD in CS should read it."
"I think this is the first full, detailed, and honest account of
an entire PhD that I have ever read. Worth reading for first/second year
students: sometimes the anecdotal can make a longer-lasting impression
than the usual parade of rarefied generic advice one usually
"I sent it to my grandmother, and she is really enjoying it. I am
the first person in my family to get a PhD, so she had a lot of
questions about the process, many of which your memoir was able to
answer so that I did not have to. :)"

Modeling Residual Stresses in Arc WeldingF. Roger[1], and A. Traidia[2]
[1]ENSTA Paristech, Paris, France
[2]AREVA NP, Saint Marcel, France
The prediction of mechanical response of assemblies during arc welding necessitates the knowledge of thermal history of the components and the constitutive behavior of the materials. COMSOL can simulate thermal and structural interaction but it needs to evaluate the time evolution of internal variables like viscoplastic strain and hardening parameters. In the present paper we extend the thermoelastic COMSOL model to thermoelastoviscoplasticity using Chaboche viscoplastic law with non linear kinematics and isotropic hardening with temperature dependence of model parameters. The model is used to describe the residual stresses evolution during welding of 316L stainless steel.

Food and drink exports grow to £22bn
Food and drink businesses raised £22 billion from exports in 2017, a record high according to government figures.
UK businesses are now exporting products to 217 countries around the world, with whisky proving the most popular - bringing in £4.5 billion.
This was followed by sales of salmon (£720 million), chocolate (£680 million) and cheese (£623 million).
Sales of milk and cream also rose by 61%, salmon by 23% and pork by 14%.
The top 5 export destinations were:
- Irish Republic (£3.7 billion)
- France (£2.3 billion)
- USA (£2.3 billion)
- Netherlands (£1.5 billion)
- Germany (£1.4 billion).
The announcement follows the creation of a new Food and Drink Sector Council, which had its first meeting on 29 January 2018.
The council aims to boost productivity, and make the sector more sustainable and competitive ahead of the UK's exit from the EU.
Ian Wright, director-general at the Food and Drink Federation, said:
"UK food and drink is known across the globe for its provenance and quality. We are a proud home to many of the world's most beloved brands.
"We must now build upon this platform in order to take advantage of new opportunities and the growing global appetite for great British and Northern Irish manufacturing as we leave the EU."

The MCR, or Middle Common Room , refers both to the community of graduate students in College and to the room in which they meet. The Lincoln MCR is the the oldest and, we would argue, the liveliest of the Oxford MCRs. Despite being the oldest MCR in Oxford, we also have a brand new room in which to meet, as part of the newly refurbished Berrow foundation building (see picture right).
With around 300 graduate students in residence each year, the MCR organises a full and varied programmes of meetings, social events and sporting activites during termtime and vacations. Partners of MCR members may also apply to become associate members.

UPDATE to the UPDATE: Julia Moskin joins the debate in today's New York Times story on recipe search engines.
UPDATE: 130+ thoughtful comments later, both David Lebovitz and one of the creators of Google's recipe search have weighed in (see below in the comments).
- Amanda
The entity with the greatest influence on what Americans cook is not Costco or Trader Joe's. It's not the Food Network or The New York Times. It's Google. Every month about a billion of its searches are for recipes. The dishes that its search engine turns up, particularly those on the first page of results, have a huge impact on what Americans cook. Which is why, with a recent change in its recipe search, Google has, in effect, taken sides in the food war. Unfortunately, it's taken the wrong one.
In late February, when Google announced that it was adding a new kind of search, specifically for recipes, it seemed like good news for a site like ours -– at last Google was shining its searchlight on content we deeply care about. But then came the bad news: once you get your new recipe results, you can refine the results in just 3 ways: by ingredient, by cooking time and by calories. While Google was just trying to improve its algorithm, thereby making the path to recipes easier and more efficient, it inadvertently stepped into the middle of the battle between the quick-and-easy faction and the cooking-matters group.
Before these new changes, Google recipe results favored sites with lots of content and good Search Engine Optimization (that is, those that organized their pages and chose their words with Google's preferences in mind) – e.g. AllRecipes and Food. Now, recipe results favor these sites, but also those with lots of additional information, such as ratings, calories, cooking times, and photos.
Imagine the blogger who has excellent recipes but has to compete against companies with staff devoted entirely to S.E.O. And who now must go back and figure out the calorie counts of all of his recipes, and then add those numbers, along with other metadata. That's not going to happen. So the chance that that blogger's recipes will appear anywhere near the first page of results is vanishingly small. (See Craig Goldwyn's piece on this in the Huffington Post.)
What this means is that Google's search engine gives vast advantage to the largest recipe websites with the resources to input all this metadata, and particularly those who home in on "quick and easy" and low calorie dishes (which, by the way, doesn't mean the recipes are actually healthy). In so doing, Google unwittingly -- but damagingly -- promotes a cooking culture focused on speed and diets.
Take, for instance, a recent search for "cassoulet." The top search result is a recipe from Epicurious, one of the larger and better sites. But if you refine by time, your choices are "less than 15 min," "less than 30 min," or "less than 60 min." There is no option for more than 60 minutes. In truth, a classic cassoulet takes at least 4 hours to make, if not several days (the Epicurious recipe takes 4 hours and 30 minutes; yet there in the results are recipes under each of these three time classes. One from Tablespoon goes so far as to claim to take just 1 minute. (It's made with kidney beans, canned mushrooms, and beef, so it's not long on authenticity.)
If you refine by calories, you can even find two cassoulets that are purportedly fewer than 100 calories per person: the Lamb Shank Cassoulet from Good To Know contains a full lamb shank and sausage link per serving, yet is supposed to weigh in at just 77 calories a serving. No such dish exists unless the serving size is a pinch.
For something more mundane like fried chicken, a refinement of "less than 15 min" takes you to a recipe on Food that claims the total prep and cooking time is six minutes, even though the recipe itself tells you to bake it for 1 hour. Even if you do find a recipe that accurately claims a fast cooking time, how will you know it's a good recipe? Refining recipe search by time doesn't result in better recipes rising to the top; rather, the new winners are recipes packaged for the American eating and cooking disorder.
Google's new approach is misguided even if sites don't try to game it. What does cooking time really mean, anyway? If I'm braising lamb shanks in the oven for 2 hours and am able to do laundry or watch TV during that time, then is the cooking time 2 hours? Is that the same as the 2 hours I'd spend standing over the stove stirring strawberry jam? And what if I'm making something that's not actually cooked, like a salad -- is the cooking time the time it takes me to whisk the dressing and mix the salad?
What happens when you must marinate a dish for 24 hours? Do you count that as prep time or cooking time? If you have a food blog or website, won't you be afraid to tally up the 3 days it took to make your shortribs dish? Because if you do, your recipe most certainly won't appear in the refined recipe results. And even if Google does miraculously find your recipe, your audience might be scared off by the putatively huge cooking time. Whereas, if they just read the recipe, rather than the "duration" time, they might grasp that it's not much work at all but must be distributed over a few days to allow the flavors to develop.
The tradition of prep times began creeping into our cooking culture about 30 years ago with the rise of quick-cooking columns. They've long acted more as a marketing tool than as helpful information. The proliferation of cooking times has not only put pressure on writers to fudge times, but has encouraged editors to stop running recipes that take longer than an hour. Lost in the rankings will be such slow-build classics as paella and layer cakes.
Google must surely know that recipes are anything but precise formulas: they're descriptive guides, and quality cannot be quantified in calories or time. The search engine's real opportunity lies in understanding the metrics that actually reflect great quality. A very simple place to start is by tracking the number of comments relative to pageviews, the number of Facebook likes a recipe has garnered, or how often a recipe has been shared. A recipe with 74 comments is almost certainly better than one that takes 8 minutes to make. (And at some point, Google should create its own system for calculating calories.)
I'm glad Google put effort into improving its recipe search, but their solution feels robotic rather than thoughtful. If they don't change their current approach, I fear to contemplate the future of American cooking. As it stands, Google's recipe search gives undue advantage to the "quick & easy" recipe sites, encourages dishonesty, and sets up people to be dissuaded from cooking, as they will soon learn that recipes always end up taking more time than they expected. Alas, the search algorithm fundamentally misunderstands what recipe searchers are really looking for: great recipes.

If you're looking for answers on how to handle millennials, you will not find them in this article.
Experts can't even agree on exactly who to include in this category of young employees now entering the workforce. They generally seem to think of millennials as those born somewhere between the early 1980s and around 2000.
The main message of this article is if you currently manage people, don't ignore the sometimes crazy-sounding ideas of the millennials.
Members of every generation look at members of subsequent generations and think, "Why aren't these people normal like me?"
You can bet that a lot of the 23-Skidoo folks observed the Greatest Generation folks and thought, "These whippersnappers are nuts!"
I think when we sort through it all, we will find that some of the millennials' ideas have merit and some are malarkey (I've been looking for a way to use that recently revived 23 skidoo-era word since the Biden/Ryan debate).
Let's focus on one thing that several people think is important to millennials. Millennials prefer to base the requirement to be physically present in the official workplace (such as their office or cube) on their productivity rather than just the passage of time on a clock.
That may sound like malarkey to managers who paid their dues for years, somehow got the kids off to school, fought rush-hour traffic, made it to work at the appointed time, stuck it out for the required number of hours, and then reversed the process at the end of the workday.
Wait a minute, when you put it that way; I'm not sure who is crazy.
As one person put it, "These young people are more concerned about life balance than their careers." I'll let you decide if that is a good idea or not.
Here's what I can tell you about the working-hours issue. The desire to reduce working hours is not a new idea. And here's the big surprise, the last time it came up in a big way, it was an employer's idea, not an employee. And it worked quite well.
In the 1930s, W.K. Kellogg (yep, the Corn Flakes guy) decided that it was better for his employees to work six rather than eight hours a day. As it turned out, accidents plummeted 41 percent, days lost due to accidents improved 51 percent, morale increased, and unit cost of production was lowered enough to pay as much for six hours as they formerly paid for eight hours.
It, in fact, worked well at Kellogg for two decades. The idea was eventually reversed by an increasingly work-obsessed nation in the booming post WWII economy. People began thinking of and calling six-hour workday supporters lazy. Even unions fought for a return to the eight-hour day.
I'm not sure what the right answers will turn out to be for your business. But I'm sure you should listen carefully to the ideas of all your employees, including the millennials, and attempt to sort the meritorious ideas from the malarkey.

The Pardoner's Tale
Publisher's Summary
Three tales from The Canterbury Tales, read in the original Middle English by Richard Bebb under the direction of Britain's foremost Chaucer scholar, Derek Brewer.
More from the same
"The Pardoner's Tale" is surely among the more scathing and ironic entries from Geoffrey Chaucer's eponymous Canterbury Tales. Here, the medieval bard takes on moral and spiritual hypocrisy. Performer Richard Bebb is stunning, his mellifluous Middle English brogue betraying wry warmth and playful humor as he relates this tale of religious hucksterism. To be sure, Chaucer's language is unlikely to be readily comprehended by the casual listener: indeed, part of Bebb's appeal lies in his ability to extract emotions and atmospherics from the melodious, if archaic, verse.

great fun
Well, I am not versed in speaking Middle Englisch (English is not even my mother tongue) nor am I student of Medieval languages. Therfore I cannot even say if this reading of Chaucer is correct or not... But I can say that I thoroughly enjoy it. Just love the rhythm, the rhymes and that wonderful language and to me the reading sounds really well done.
And I am definitely going to read the Canterbury Tales! Should have done that long before...

The Pardoner's Tale
Because I am not versed in speaking Middle English,the book was total gibberish to me since it was read in Middle English. I doubt that anyone outside of acedeme could comprehend what was being said. Sorry I didn't know. Sorry I wasted a credit.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Pardoner's Tale to be better than the print version?
I find astonishing that many poor reviews that I've read on various classic works of literature are due to stupidity on the buyers part. In this example it states clearly, on the description, that this is in Middle English and the sample is also in Middle English. Duh! However the second half is in Modern English. So a poor review in that regard is wholly unfair and should be removed. The writer of the review should also be fined for being a trolling dumbass.

Installing Your Brakes
Getting It Right Means Faster, Safer Stopping
Everybody knows that brakes can be the most important aspect of your cars makeup. After all, what good is going fast if you cant stop the car? You need brakes to race. Its that simple. Otherwise, the only stopping youre likely to be doing involves a concrete retaining wall, lots of noise and the potential for serious injury.
When it comes time to put new brakes on your racer, dont scrimp on parts or installation. Your brakes are sometimes the only things between you and a sudden stop against something hard and painful.If you have any doubts about your welding and fabrication ability, it is best to have a professional install the brake system.
For the purposes of this story, we have decided to install a set of new brakes on a race car from stem to stern. For this, we went with a four-piston Wilwood system and a Dan Press Industries recirculating kit. For the test car, we chose the NASCAR Goodys Dash machine fielded by Crenshaw Motorsports. Crew chief Bruce Jones did the installation, so follow along and see how its done.
Jones started with the Wilwood master cylinders in the front of the car and worked his way to the rear. There are three master cylinders: a one-inch bore for the front brakes, a 17/8-inch bore for the rear brakes and a three-quarter-inch bore for the clutch. Normally you would have to drill holes for both the master cylinder body and mounting bolts, but since this car had a brake system in it before it was refurbished, the holes were already in place.
Jones simply attached the master cylinders and bolted them down. Because a DPI Sure Stop 2 Master Cylinder Equalizer and Brake Fluid Recirculator kit were installed, a little work needed to be performed prior to the installation of the brake reservoir tanks. A hole was drilled into the front of each reservoir, fittings were screwed in and a plastic tube was attached to connect the two reservoirs together. As the brakes are applied, the DPI recirculator moves the brake fluid around the entire system to prevent it from overheating. When the pedal is released, the fluid is returned to the reservoir, but with the DPI kit installed the majority of the fluid goes into one reservoir. This balancing tube lets the fluid drain from reservoir to reservoir preventing either side from going empty.
With the master cylinders in place on the firewall, Jones attached the DPI kit. This kit is designed to screw onto the front of each master cylinder where the normal brake line would exit. From these blocks, the brake lines are connected and run to the calipers. A second set of brake lines is used as return lines in the front of the race car. This set of lines is attached to the caliper via the bleed hole.
If you are using two-, four- or six- piston calipers, a crossover tube needs to be added at the bleeders and the return line gets attached to one of the feed holes.
Next, Jones needed to attach mounting brackets to the front spindles. To make sure that the bracket is properly aligned so the Superlite 111/ST caliper is parallel to the HD 48-vane directional rotors, Jones attached the caliper to the rotor and bolted the bracket onto the caliper. He then attached the rotor onto the spindle. The bracket was moved into the proper position and tack-welded in place. Jones removed the caliper, rotor and spindle to fully weld the bracket in position.
The bracket must be mounted so the rotor and caliper are parallel. With the bracket secure, Jones remounted the front assembly and moved to the rear. The rear axles had the wrong mounting brackets so Jones continued by removing the rear axles, which needed to be done to change out the rotors anyway. He cut the old mounting brackets off with a torch. Jones used an angle grinder to clean off any residue left from the old bracket and continued the line-up process as he did in the front. The only difference was that the rear mounting brackets wrapped around the axle tube in two pieces and bolted together in clamp-like fashion. The bracket was spot-welded onto the axle tubes to prevent it from sliding around from the braking force. Once again, the rear brake assembly was reinstalled and bolted to the new mounting bracket.
Moving on, Jones installed the remainder of the brake lines. He used three- sixteenths-inch bulk brake line, bending it to fit the car as if you could buy custom factory lines and three-sixteenths-inch braided whips to attach to the calipers.
With the major brake components installed, the time had come to add a way to use them. Jones installed the forward-swing mount brake and clutch pedals and remote brake-bias adjuster cable. The pedals were mounted in freshly drilled mounting holes on the back side of the firewall adjacent to the master cylinders. The brake bias adjuster was mounted on the driveshaft hump in reach of the driver and to the backside of the brake pedals control balance bar. This bar slides from side to side to change the amount of pressure applied to the front and rear master cylinders.

Michael Frazier II scored a career-high 21 points and No. 7 Florida handled Georgia 72-50 on Tuesday night, setting a school record for consecutive home wins.
The undermanned Gators won their 25th straight at the O'Connell Center, topping the previous mark set between March 2006 and November 2007. Two-time national champions Corey Brewer, Taurean Green, Al Horford and Joakim Noah did most of the heavy lifting in that streak.
This group, which has four seniors who have lost in three straight regional finals, barely acknowledged their achievement. They have loftier goals.
And if Frazier continues to play like he did against the Bulldogs, Florida (14-2, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) certainly could improve its chances of making a deep run in the NCAA tournament. Frazier made 7 of 16 shots, including 5 of 12 from 3-point range. His previous high was 20 points in a loss to Wisconsin early this season.
Juwan Parker led Georgia (8-7, 2-1) with 13 points while Marcus Thornton added 11 points and seven rebounds.
Dorian Finney-Smith scored 14 points for Florida. while Will Yeguete added 12 and Pat Young 10.
Florida won despite playing its second game without leading scorer Casey Prather, who sat out with a bruised right knee. The Gators had just seven scholarship players. Florida got even thinner when point guard Scottie Wilbekin left the game midway through the second half with cramps.
He got treatment and returned a few minutes later. But just as he re-entered the game, guard DeVon Walker headed to the locker room with a busted lip.
In the midst of those issues, the Gators went 9:43 without a field goal in the second half, but the Bulldogs did little to take advantage of the lull.
Georgia's real problem was the opening 20 minutes. Florida used a 24-4 run in the first half to open a 20-point lead and pretty much coasted from there. Frazier, Finney-Smith, Wilbekin and Walker all hit 3s in the spurt. Florida finished 11 of 26 from behind the arc.
The Bulldogs had nearly as many turnovers (12) as points (16) at halftime. They shot 31.6 percent from the field, well shy of Florida's 50 percent shooting.
The closest Georgia got was 45-31 with about 11 minutes to play.
Frazier's fifth 3 made it 70-39 and sent many scrambling for the exits in a laugher.
Georgia looked nothing like the same team that upset Missouri and Alabama to open conference play.
Charles Mann, who scored 40 points in those games and earned SEC player of the week honors, finished with 8 points on 3-of-7 shooting.
Florida's last loss at the O'Dome was March 4, 2012, against Kentucky.
The Gators have won eight straight this season and 12 in a row at home against the Bulldogs.
No. 7 Florida tops Georgia, sets home-winning mark
Michael Frazier II scored a career-high 21 points and No. 7 Florida handled Georgia 72-50 on Tuesday night, setting a school record for consecutive home wins.

Associated Press Release
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) -- Two cities along the Gulf of Mexico are suing oil giant BP over tens of millions of dollars in lost tax revenues from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Dunedin and Clearwater join other local governments such as Tampa and Hillsborough County, along with the state of Florida, that are also suing BP.
The Tampa Bay Times (http://bit.ly/ZmJrjK) reports that the lawsuits from Clearwater and Dunedin were two of nearly 60 suits that South Carolina-based law firm Motley Rice filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Louisiana.
The cities claim they suffered millions in losses from hotel, gas, sales and other tax and fee receipts because of the spill. No oil washed into the Tampa Bay area but the cities say visitors were scared away.
By: Lanetra Bennett
April 23, 2013
Tallahassee, FL - Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi says the lawsuit is the first step in a long process.
She says, "It's astonishing to me considering the harm that BP has caused our state and our people. Floridians deserve better and we are going to receive it from BP."
Bondi says four firms have been hired for outside counsel. She says if the case makes it to trial, it will be tried in Florida, "where it belongs."
By: Lanetra Bennett
April 23, 2013
Tallahassee, FL - Today, Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondi announced that the state is suing BP for $5.4 billion in revenue loss from the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which includes past, current, and future losses.
The lawsuit was filed Saturday on the third anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon spill.
Bondi says Florida tried to settle, but BP never responded to the offer.
She says she's still open to discussion but says she is ready to take it to trial.
WCTV will bring you more on the BP case tonight on Eyewitness News.

Neurofinance: Inside the investor's brain
Irrational thinking
Our brains like to take short cuts, and this can have serious ramifications for investment success or failure, according to behavioural economist and psychiatrist Dr Richard Peterson.
Dr. Peterson is Chief Executive Officer of Marketpsych, a psychology-based big data provider to asset managers.
Certain subconscious shortcuts that our brains take can be particularly insidious when making investment decisions.
Research has shown that humans are far less rational than standard economic theory assumes.
The good news, says Dr. Peterson, is that much of this irrationality is systematic, and because it is repeated, it can be predicted and possibly even prevented.
Dr. Peterson discussed the dangers of 'emotional priming' as just one example of how we can fall prey to our brain's shortcuts.
Emotional priming can have a material impact on our propensity to accept risk, and what's more, we are unlikely to be aware it is even happening.
Investment experiment
In a 2007 investment experiment, a group of subjects was shown either a happy, fearful or angry photo of a human face.
The subjects shown the happy face were found afterwards to increase their tolerance for risk by as much as 30%, versus the other subjects.
What's more, the experiment's participants denied that the faces they saw had affected their judgement at all.
The problem is that our prefrontal cortex, which governs judgement and executive functions, evolved on top of our deeper limbic system, which governs emotional responses.
The result is that our brains can actually override rationality. This results in some interesting patterns, which Dr. Peterson follows through the Thomson Reuters MarketPsych Indices.
Statistically, he says, September is the 'angriest' month of the year, whilst December is the most optimistic.
Given our demonstrable susceptibility to our surroundings in forming decisions, it follows that certain emotional qualities often make for better investors.
Emotional stability and openness are prime examples of personality traits that can be shown to have a positive impact on returns.
Defending your logic
The question is, if an investor is armed with this knowledge, is it possible to overcome these emotional biases? The answer from some of the world's most successful investors is: yes.
According to Warren Buffett, intellect need have nothing to do with performance, but emotional discipline is essential.
"Success in investing doesn't correlate with I.Q. once you're above the level of 25," Warren Buffett has been quoted as saying.
"Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing."
The temptation when investors are presented with a decision is to seek out more information. What the aim should be, says Dr. Peterson, is to seek out better information.
Investors should try to filter out inputs or people that are not adding anything valuable.
He recommends a two-step process to investment decision making, in which investors first manage stress before taking action.
If investors are concerned about markets, they ought to assess the present cause of their worries in the context of the wider market influences.
Having done so, it is best to then to mitigate the anxiety-provoking stimulus before taking action.
Ultimately, the recognition of our irrationality is the most important step in overcoming it. Picking the right stock, bond or fund as a part of a balanced portfolio is still a tremendous challenge.
However, once we are aware that our brains are susceptible to potentially damaging emotional patterns, we can better defend more logical responses

SACRAMENTO - At the end of the day, students from Pacific Law Academy were the first to approach the keynote speaker, a Sacramento-based criminal defense attorney who undoubtedly could earn a living as a full-time motivational speaker.
SACRAMENTO - At the end of the day, students from Pacific Law Academy were the first to approach the keynote speaker, a Sacramento-based criminal defense attorney who undoubtedly could earn a living as a full-time motivational speaker.
"I was inspired," senior Melissa Jimenez, a 17-year-old senior, told attorney Keith Staten.
"It was encouraging to hear somebody who's had real-life experiences," added 18-year-old Bailey Salemme, another senior at PLA, a 2-year-old school on the Stagg High School campus.
Jimenez and Salemme were among 48 PLA juniors and seniors who attended the high-school law day event Friday at University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law. Of the six high schools represented, PLA was the only one not based in Sacramento.
During the four-hour event, students toured the campus, listened to a lecture from a McGeorge professor, participated in simulated trial preparation and jury selection, and in some cases were beseeched to make a career of the law.
"Lawyers are agents for social change," Professor Raquel Aldana said during her lecture.
"Never put limitations on what you can do. Never," Staten told the students. "Be lawyers. I want you to be lawyers, every last one of you."
Most of the students from PLA and the other schools were Latino or black, and a focus of the day was to encourage increased minority representation in the legal profession.
It was an understandable focus; fewer than one-third of McGeorge's 2012 first-year students were minorities, and a 2010 report by the National Association for Law Placement reported significant under-representation of minorities in the law.
"The goal (of the law day) is just to provide high school students with exposure to the law and exposure to the campus," said Tracy Simmons, McGeorge's assistant dean of admissions and diversity.
Jimenez said the exposure solidified her decision to become a lawyer.
"Going to a place like this will make you work, it'll motivate you, it'll make you passionate," she said.
The 52-year-old Staten, who is black, spoke for 45 minutes, much of his time spent recounting a childhood spent getting in trouble and underachieving in school.
"I wasn't the best kid," he admitted.
It took dropping out of a community college, getting arrested for theft and seeing the tears of his disappointed mother to alter his path.
He told the students success will be assured if they maintain self-belief ("It's your own personal garden in your mind"), if they focus and if they weather the inevitable storms they will face in the years ahead.
"A big storm can come tomorrow in your life," he said. "But what are you going to do about it? That's the measure of your character."
Salemme said it's vital for students to hear encouraging words and to get a first-hand glimpse of the possibilities that await them if they dedicate themselves to the pursuit of their dreams.
"Kids need to be told 'You can be something great. You can be something amazing and change the world for the better,' " she said. "I don't think a lot of people hear that."

And quiet flows the Don, Deel 1
A.A. Knopf, 1966 - 755 pagina's
This story of a group of Cossacks living along the Don river--a primitive, virile, and unbelievably brutal people--centers about Gregor Melekhov, a young Cossack with Turkish blood in his veins. His home life, his unhappy marriage and impassioned love affair, and his military adventures and experiences in the Revolution are told with frank naturalism, from a Bolshevik point of view. Host of other characters crowd the pages of a powerful novel of war and revolution.
