During Spartanburg Day School's commencement exercises Friday morning, 30 students processed in as seniors and out as graduates of the Class of 2019.
The ceremony was held in the Senior Courtyard, which was filled with friends, family, faculty and staff and many supporters.
Head of School Rachel Deems welcomed the crowd to the 56th commencement ceremony of Spartanburg Day School.
"On this last morning together as a class, you are encircled by those who love you, believe in you, who want the best for you and by those who will always welcome you back to this place," Deems said. "You are ready to leave us for you have been expertly prepared. Having met some of you as sixth graders and others somewhere along the last seven years, I have witnessed your potential unfold and have great confidence in the paths you will follow and how you will do your part to change the world for good."
Mrs. Deems acknowledged board members, faculty and past heads of school in attendance. She also recognized the family of Alli Hoy, a member of the class who died in January 2018 after a courageous battle with Burkitt's Leukemia. A chair was left empty in her memory, and friend and classmate Ariana Muehlenbein presented Alli's parents with roses during the traditional rose ceremony.
Alumnus Berkeley Young '81 served as this year's keynote speaker. He spoke of his own journey since graduating as a Griffin and of the journey still to come for the students sitting before him.
"With your graduation today you are part of a great legacy that comes from this caring, educational community," Young said. "Many have gone before you and many more will follow. Wherever you go in life Spartanburg and the Day School will be with you."
Valedictorian Christine Yang spoke of the immense impact support from teachers, camaraderie of classmates and richness of experiences had on her during her years at SDS.
"All the experiences in high school have shaped us into better human beings and made us think about our future," she said. "When I worried about what to major in college, Mr. Lonon told me to chase my passion and study what I enjoy. He led me to understand that to achieve greatness is not to acquire money and recognition. It is, instead, to enjoy the process and be hopeful toward life. Yes, it's time for us to take on the world, to find and pursue our passions. To 'leave a legacy.'"
Six graduates are "lifers" at SDS, having spent every academic year since 4K as Griffins. The lifers are: Anne Dobson Ball, Jake Beets, Rett Foust, Robey Leonardi, William Owens and Elizabeth Smith.
Upper School teacher and dean of students Paige Phillips was awarded the 2019 Larrabee Endowed Chair Award, an award presented annually at graduation to recognize good teaching and honoring a faculty member who incorporates innovation and creativity in the classroom.
The Caggiano Memorial Alumni Award was presented to SDS Director of Technology Services Celia Cooksey '86. The award is presented to an alumnus who has distinguished his or herself on a national or international level or for one who has made a significant contribution to the life of the Day School.
The Gary Clark Headmaster's Award is annually presented to a senior who, through graciousness, good manners, courtesy and through a genuine concern for others, has had a positive impact on the Spartanburg Day School community. This year that award was presented to Jake Beets.
Anne Dobson Ball was awarded the Groblewski Cup, an award recognizing a member of the graduating class for outstanding leadership.
Congratulations to the Spartanburg Day School Class of 2019!

SANTIAGO, Chile — An Easter Island tourist faces a $17,000 fine and three-year ban for chipping an earlobe off an ancient Maoi to take as a souvenir, Chilean press reported Saturday.
Marko Kulju, 26, of Finland also must make a public apology for damaging the figure, one of 400 volcanic-rock statues protected by Chilean law, according to the sentence recommended by an Easter Island prosecutor.
Local press reports said the sentence must be approved in court next week. Judicial authorities could not be reached on Saturday.
Kulju was surprised in the act at Anakena beach two weeks ago by a local Rapanui woman, who reported him to police on the 70-square-mile (180-square-kilometer) South Pacific island and Chilean territory.
Kulju already has said through a Chilean newspaper that he regrets the incident, which caused a national uproar.

I'm one of many people who think that Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is the greatest espionage novel of all time. Let's take the obvious things first. Unlike most examples of this genre, it's extremely well-written. Also, having worked in espionage himself, le Carré is able to get the atmosphere right. It feels 100% authentic, and you see that spying is like most other jobs. The greater part of it is routine and office intrigues, though every now and then something unexpected and dramatic happens [...]Jason says:
A few months ago a stylish looking British adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was released in theaters and I was intrigued. But I knew better. Movies are for smart people. If I had to constantly nudge my wife during Superbad to ask questions like, "so who is that guy again?" and "wait, is she the same one from before?" then I had to admit that seeing this movie would only serve to make me feel very confused and intellectually inadequate. I do better with books. Books explain thin [...]Jaline says:
Spy novels may be best consumed in large gulps by me. There is no question that John Le Carré is a brilliant writer, and his plots are peppered with surprise spirals throughout each novel.The one difficulty I had with this book was in the beginning, and it was my own difficulty. I had to quickly re-acquaint myself with British idiom, with spy jargon, distinguish between those two 'languages', and process many new players and how they related to characters I already knew from the previous 4 [...]Diane says:
I'm going to state the obvious and say John le Carré is a really good writer.This was my first le Carré novel, and I can see why he's considered such a master of the spy genre. The story itself was thrilling, but what I most appreciated were his thoughtful descriptions. The writing was so insightful that it was easy to become invested in the fate of the characters.A quick plot summary: George Smiley is a retired British spy. He was forced out during a reorganization of the Circus, a nickname f [...]Agnieszka says:
Who can spy on the spies ?We are at the heart of British Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6. For the initiated the Circus.Tinker, tailor, soldier, spyit's the look at the firm from the inside. Author himself worked there for many years and thanks to it I have no problems with his credibility. We get to know world of intelligence, its structure, jargon.Babysitters, lamplighters , ferrets, shoemakers, scalphunters . Sounds really crazy.Intelligence work it is not guns and fast ca [...]Jason Koivu says:
I didn't understand half of what I just read, and yet I loved it all the same!In John le Carré's (real name David Cornwell) Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, a British intelligence service known as the Circus has been compromised by a mole, a supposed Soviet double agent. Former agent George Smiley is called back from retirement to ferret him out. This is more of a psychological suspense novel than an action-filled James Bond spy thriller. Smiley is getting up there in years and though he's convers [...]BillKerwin says:
Whenever I think of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, I inevitably think of love: love that grants fortitude, love that clouds judgment, love that scars the soul and roots the heart. Although it is my experience of the book that guides me, it perhaps also has to do with the 1979 BBC miniseries, with the way Alec Guinness appears stolid and wounded, like an animal to the slaughter hit in the head with a hammer, with each inevitable mention of his wife's beauty, each smirking hint at her chain of ad [...]Patrick Brown says:
I had read The Spy Who Came In From the Cold on my honeymoon in Paris, and I remember liking it, but not rushing out to get more Le Carre. Well, now I'm going to rush out to get more Le Carre. I didn't give this five stars because it was a touch slow to get moving. I think if I'd just been able to focus a little more, I would've been into the plot faster. Le Carre has this ability to make every character a mystery. So much is withheld from the reader, and yet the characters are fascinating. I th [...]Willow says:
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is not my type of book. I never read stuff like this. I don't like contemporaries (unless there are vampires or witches in them) and I rarely read mysteries. I loved the movie though (I'm a big Gary Oldman fan) so I thought what the heck, I'll read the book. After all, it's not really a contemporary…at least not anymore. The action takes place during the early seventies. So here I am.First off, I have to say Le Carre writes with amazing detail. These guys a [...]K says:
I freely admit that I am not smart enough to appreciate this book.The whole thing was way too convoluted for me. First I was in one character's head, then another, then back to the first. Then there was a third character who mostly made cameo appearances and was clearly unimportant, but we spend time in his head too. As if that's not confusing enough, different people narrate different parts of the story as master spy George Smiley (highly distracting name, I must say) interviews different playe [...]Lewis Weinstein says:
UPDATE 1-18-18 For espionage thrillers, this is as good as it gets. The setting is the Cold War, and both the Britain and Russia are tired but still engaging in lethal combat by spy. One central theme that I did not appreciate before this re-read is that the primary conflict, even when Le Carre tells the story from a British POV, is not between British spies and the Russians, but between Russia and America, with British spies taking sides, not always as expected. The conflict between personal a [...]Ted says:
I remember that when I read this (and the other Karla novels) years ago, I ripped through them to the detriment of my understanding of all the twists and turns of the plot. So although I enjoyed them immensely, when I was all finished (and even during the reading) I felt confused about what story le Carre had actually told.So a couple years ago I watched (Netflix) the BBC adaptation of the books with Alec Guinness. Again, I enjoyed it no end, but while the 7 hour condensation of the story had to [...]Laure says:
Just one of those perfect books.Derrick says:
Oft billed as the "anti-Ian Flemming," John Le Carre inverts all the typical trappings of the spy-thriller: in place of the handsome, gadget-happy g-man we're given a sacked, middle-aged cuckold whose attention to detail and intellectual virtuosity quietly derail Moscow Central's invisible vise-grip on the Circus.Note that "quietly," as the tension here is all cerebral, the violence and spectacle off-stage, and the stakes themselves, though no less dire than the fate of the world, are entirely i [...]El says:
Apparently I'm turning into a really shitty reader.This is the first Le Carré I've read, and whatever, I think I expected a little more James Bond than, well, George Smiley - a name which every single time was mentioned (which was quite a lot) always made me think of his muppet-brother, Guy Smiley. Picturing George as a human and not a muppet made the reading more difficult than I had intended. (See first note about becoming a really shitty reader.)And in my current mood I wanted some violence.

It was a great synchronicity that this popped up on one of my reading lists right now, as one of my gaming groups is about to embark on a game of Cold City, set in post-War Berlin, playing representatives of different countries in BPRD-like surroundings.Note: The rest of this review has been withdrawn due to the changes in policy and enforcement. You can read why I came to this decision here.In the meantime, you can read the entire review at SmorgasbookRyan says:
Veterans of Britain's secret service refer to MI6 as the Circus, and when Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy opens, our hero George Smiley has been kicked out of the show. So Smiley has not retired with dignity, but rather has been ousted for backing a jaded horse. The head of Circus, a spy so skilled that people only knew him as "Control," went out in a blaze of tragedy, and Smiley's career was one of the casualties.Unknown to most, Control was trying to find a mole. He failed and the Circus has been re [...]Michael says:
How amazing--a spy novel where virtually nothing happens, and yet it's compelling and suspenseful nonetheless. It's really a testament to le Carre's writing that he pulls this off. A wonderfully cerebral work.Trevor says:
I caught up with a friend a few weeks ago when I had just started this book and he said he had given up on the film and drifted off to sleep as he had completely lost track of what was going on and in the end couldn't care either way anyway. That was exactly the experience I was having with the book and had thought it was just me. But then, all of a sudden, at about the middle of this one (I imagine just as George was dozing off in the film), the pieces of the jigsaw start dropping into place [...]Kate says:
First off, I understand that Tinker Tailor is a spy novel, and that Le Carre obviously wanted to achieve a certain effect appropriate to the genre, and to keep everything "realistic." But it was jargon-y to a fault, and in keeping its audience as in the dark as its protagonist, it succeeded too well.Furthermore, its characters never spoke the way they were described - it was always "'could you pass the tea please, that's a boy,' he shouted furiously." And about 95% of the book is written in past [...]Nigeyb says:
I've wanted to read the George Smiley books since watching the BBC adaptation of 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' back in the 1970s. I subsequently loved the 2011 film adaptation directed by Tomas Alfredson, which I saw in the cinema, and rewatched a few weeks ago. Everything I had heard about the source material suggested joy and wonder would await and, so far, I'm pleased to report, that's exactly what I have found.I have read the series, up until 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy', in quick suc [...]gaby says:
And thus began what would be a year and a half-long obsession with George Smiley and his British Circus. Having now read every last book in which Smiley is even cursorily mentioned, I can say steadfast that this is Le Carre's masterwork. It is a warm, immersive book. It draws you in like a warm sweater, and keeps you suspended weightless and happy in its alternate world. I literally read this book three times in a row before moving on to the next in the trilogy (The Honourable Schoolboy). It is [...]Feliks says:
For quite some time, this was one of the most amazing successes in the genre of espionage fiction. It reined supreme. The reading public had never seen anything quite like it. Everyone knew John LeCarre was a spy writer and that he was 'rather good'. Everyone--absolutely everyone--was aware of the landmark, the juggernaut which he had already achieved some years previously: 'The Spy Who Came in From the Cold'. But no one --I think--expected him to equal that triumph; no one expected him to follo [...]Matt Brady says:
The best espionage thriller I've ever read. One of the greatest living British writers hardly needs me to talk him up, but I truly am in awe of le Carré's skills.The plot is fairly simple. It's the early 70's and George Smiley, after a year of forced retirement, is tasked with uncovering the identity of a Soviet mole that has managed to infiltrate the highest echelons of the British secret service. But the amount of depth and complexity that le Carre manages to add to this story is remark [...]Mike says:
I enjoyed this, but not as much as I enjoyed The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Le Carre has many strengths as a writer. The dialogue is crisp, idiosyncratic and understated. The scenes may as well be in HD- you can hear the rain beating against the window in Smiley's hotel room, and see the mastery and discipline in the eyes of an elusive spy who while being interrogated refuses to take even a single cigarette from a pack of his favorite brand placed on the table in front of him. Descriptions o [...]Emer says:
The blurb from the back of the book: "The Circus (aka MI6) has already suffered a bad defeat and the result was two bullets in a man's back. But a bigger threat still exists. The legendary George Smiley is recruited to root out a high-level mole of thirty years' standing - though to find him means spying on the spies."Do you ever feel like you're just not on the ball? Like you're two seconds behind everyone else?? That everyone else gets things quicker than you and you are always trying to catch [...]Tahsina Syeda says:
John le Carré-কে স্পাই নভেলিস্ট বললে আসলে তেমন কিছু পরিষ্কার হয় না। স্পাই থ্রিলার বলতে আমরা যে গতানুগতিক juvenile male wish-fulfillment টাইপ ধুন্ধুমার গোলাগুলি, দ্রুতগতির গাড়ি আর শোপিস-সুন্দরীদের আনাগোনা বুঝি, সেরকম [...]Thomas Briggs says:
Not for the cursory reader, this book presents an enigmatic quest by that least dashing of protagonists, Mr. George Smiley, late of the Circus (MI6). The reader is dropped, as in other LeCarre novels, into the middle of the story, and must piece together the story from Smiley's own memories and those of others who, in one way or another have been exiled from their life's work . Gradually, Smiley finds that the promotion of an incompetent to the leadership of the service, and the banishment o [...]Kat says:
It was enjoyable - but what a mess!Structurally it was a catastrophe for me. It's part of a series, but I went in thinking it was fine reading it on its own, and it is, in a way. Smiley's case isn't linked to any previous novels - but I think some of the backstory that kept popping up here would have come across less confusing had I read any of the other books previously. As it was now it felt unfitting and interrupted in the most frustrating places, which was a downer.The spy stuff is really go [...]

Crossing Textual and Visual Content in Different Application ScenariosJanuary 24th, 2010
Ah-Pine, J., et al. "Crossing Textual and Visual Content in Different Application Scenarios." Multimedia Tools and Applications 42 1 (2009): 31-56.
This article is quite outside the scope of my research and is bordering on irrelevant to it. The article discusses two approaches to text-image information processing in the multimodal scenario. In doing so, the paper is rather thick with formulas and coding to create these methods by which multimodal documents can be automatically scanned and various types of information (text, image, video, audio, etc.) can be extracted and coded.
However, I draw on this article for a few points that the authors address about our current state of multimodality on the Web and about how we now think differently about the interaction of visual (image and video) and text.

In order to roll out its strategy in uniform manner through the region, Imaginove relies on four regional "poles" or centers of excellence, of national or international repute, all created in 2006 by the Cultural Direction of the Rhône-Alpes region and all bearing strong identities:
- CITIA, based in Annecy (Haute Savoie): creative industries,
- La Cartoucherie in Bourg-lès-Valence: animation films,
- The village of Lussas in Ardèche: creative documentaries
- Pixel, in Lyon/Villeurbanne: audiovisual, cinema, video games and new digital content.
Each of these clusters is active in contributing to the growth of their local businesses, synching harmoniously with Imaginove's operations. Thanks to extensions planned for Pixel and La Cartoucherie, and the 2015 inauguration of the Papeteries in Cran-Gevrier (74) (incubator, enterprise workshop or "hotel", co-working space), 3 of the 4 clusters will have their own economic development area at their disposal, further enabling innovative measures to prosper: training, assistance programs, think-tanks, backing for digital content and usages projects, etc). This added impetus will streamline the creation of new activities centered on digital content and usages industries.
Training is also a major point of interest, as proven by the significant work done by Citia with Les Gobelins, CCI Formation, Sciences Po and the Université de Savoie, as well as by the solid ties linking Lussas and Grenoble's Université Stendhal, all fine examples of success.
These 4 clusters all strive on local and national levels to boost the Rhône-Alpes sector of creative content and digital usages.

New York Fashion Week is not just about the designers and what's happening on the runways (although we have already witnessed some amazing things from the athletic themed Tommy Hilfiger show and the feminine albeit icy looks from the Carolina Herrera cat walk). It's also about the streets, and there has been an abundance of amazing style from the bloggers, celebs and fashion editors
We noticed that turtlenecks, leather jackets, colour fur and maxi coats were popular garment choices. The ladies did not shy away from colour as pink, blue and green coats were in abundance. It might be cold outside, but these women are definitely turning up the heat with their creative styling tricks.

text: Anxiety is the reaction to stressful situations and can be diagnosed as a mental disorder. It can come in many different forms, such as panic attacks or phobias. Comparatively, anxiety is different from fear in that fear is a reaction toward an immediate threat, and anxiety is a feeling of dread or nervousness over anticipated events. Additionally, this condition doesn't have to have a direct cause since it is sometimes fear of the unknown. Therefore, treatment can be trial and error to find helpful coping mechanisms.

Dear Rebel,
The other day, when I was strutting around the local Harley dealership, the service writer told me I should pay to have my clutch professionally adjusted. He also said that just the day before another rider had done $15,000 worth of damage to his motorcycle when he tried to adjust his own clutch. How can I avoid his mistake?
Live SOA Die SOA
Dear Jax,
Harley wants you to adjust the clutch on a new bike after the first 1,000 miles and then every 5,000 miles after that. You are going to need a set of tools, some spray lubricant, a derby cover gasket, some Teflon paste and a motorcycle jack. You might also need a book. Then do this.
Raise the bike on the motorcycle jack just high enough that the bike is level instead of leaning over on the jiffy stand.
Find the cable that comes out of your clutch lever and run your hand down that cable until your fingers find a black, rubber boot. It should be in about the middle of your clutch cable. Spray some lubricant inside the boot. Pull the boot up and you will see two nuts. The big one is called the lock nut and the little one is called the cable adjustor nut. Loosen both of them with a couple of box wrenches by turning the wrenches in opposite directions. Loosen them until your clutch lever is all play.
Pull the rubber sleeve away from the clutch lever to expose the top of your clutch cable. Spray cable lubricant into the sleeve so it runs down the cable. Open a beer, take a drink, set down the can then spray lube down the cable again.
Loosen and remove the Allen screws that hold the derby cover to the primary chain case. Some bikes might use Torx screws. It seems like Harley keeps changing fasteners every other year just to mess with me. I miss Shovelheads. But I digress. If you see a star shaped indentation instead of a hex it's a Torx screw. If you don't know what a derby cover or a primary chain case is get a book. Mark the exact location of the derby cover with something like touchup paint or a Sharpie. The cover is round and it is possible to put it back on incorrectly. Put the derby cover on something soft. Throw the old gasket away.
Loosen the locking nut in the center of the clutch with a socket wrench. I don't know what size socket. I always just try different sockets until one of them fits. Locate the center adjusting screw. If you don't know what it looks like look in your book. But, you should be able to figure it out. You want to separate the clutch plates by tightening the adjusting screw with an Allen wrench. Or, for all I know, on your bike it is a Torx screw.
Loosen the adjusting screw then tighten it all the way back in again. I don't know why you have to tighten it twice. Maybe the guy who taught me this was messing with me. Then, back the adjusting screw out one full turn. Keep that adjusting screw in place while you retighten the clutch locking nut with the socket wrench.
Now go back to the cable and tighten the cable adjuster nut until there is less than 1/8 inch of free play in your clutch lever. You are going to have to stand up and squeeze your lever a couple of times when you do this. Pull the boot at the top of the clutch cable where it meets the lever back up. Keep the cable adjuster nut in exactly the same position while you tighten the cable locking nut. After you tighten the locking nut pull that black boot in the middle of your clutch cable back up.
Look at the primary fluid in your primary case. The fluid should just touch the bottom of the clutch plates. If it doesn't add more fluid until it does. Don't use motor oil or transmission fluid. Use primary fluid.
Smear Teflon paste on the threads of the derby cover screws. Put a new derby cover gasket over the big, open hole in the side of your primary. It should go painted side in. Put the derby cover back in exactly the same place it was in when you took it off. Tighten up the screws.
Finish your beer. Lower the bike off the jack before you try to ride it. You're welcome Jax.
Your pal,

Born in 1960, educated in Harare, Zimbabwe and after completion of a commercial college course was asked to join the staff, managing and teaching the Executive Secretarial Course. During this time I re-wrote some of the Executive Secretarial Diploma and secretarial courses subject material and oversaw the teaching staff and course work at their sister college. In Senior Personnel (Manpower Planning) and Head of Administration capacities for a large food processing company at the age of 22, I was responsible in the latter position for managing 60 members of staff in 3 departments. Thereafter, I joined an international tobacco merchant as Personal Assistant to the Chairman and local/external Directors for two tobacco seasons. I continued to be involved in adult teaching, and tutored shorthand classes privately for some years. Due to my experience within the HR discipline, I found myself securing employment as a Consultant for various recruitment agencies and discovered that this work was enormously satisfying. I set up Ferns Employment in 1990 and operated this company with a change in name to EmployConsult in 2007, making the decision to close the business in 2009. While owning the employment agency, I secured one of three Zimbabwe franchises for a newly formed company involved in the wireless communications industry. After this, I deviated markedly from HR and set up and operated a small truck hire business in 2010 which was based in Harare. I sold this business mid 2018 after my move to the Eastern Highlands. From 2010 I found myself writing cvs for friends and various individuals referred to me. I once again found the human aspect of the work very rewarding, particularly when the individuals I was assisting found employment – some after several months of not being called for interviews. It also became evident that there was a need for this type of service and an opportunity to formalize this 'hobby' into a business. This I did in early 2015, and the client base has grown since then from local Zimbabwean to regional and international work. I possess previous adult teaching experience, have been an employer of mid- to senior-level staff for over 25 years, owned and operated my own recruitment business for nearly 20 years and have developed excellent knowledge of the requirements of various HR related documents locally in Zimbabwe, regionally in Africa, and overseas. My exceptional grasp of the English language assists me with proof reading and editing; together with the research, development and setting up of instructional guides for both HR and documentary requirements.

Day-by-DayNovember 22, 2011
I feel like I am still on a rollercoaster, emotionally, but the dips and hills are not so crazy-wild as they were before I received my lay-off news. I'll feel fine one minute and happy to distract myself by immersing myself into the play that I'm producing, and then the next moment, I'll feel inexplicably sad. Things that make me sad:
- The HR person who's supposed to be holding my hand through next steps knowing ZERO answers to very reasonable and foreseeable questions;
- going to court with a long-time pro bono client, knowing that I won't be around for the next review date;
- wondering when we will next be able to travel.
But for the next several days, I'm going to be home and enjoying the holiday. Monday will start the huge push toward the job search, but first – Thanksgiving.
The girls are going to the Middle of the Country this year. WD and I thought about taking a trip at the same time, but our time was too short and prices were too high. The girls leave on Thanksgiving morning, at some ungodly hour, so we won't even drive to see my parents. Instead, we made reservations.
Last year was the first year that we had a really nice meal out on Thanksgiving. Only, we weren't at home. The menu wasn't so different from this year's. WD had the turkey, and I went with the lamb, thinking I was being adventurous.
Instead, I missed having turkey.
So guess what I plan to eat this year? Yep. Turkey. It's gonna be delicious!
Other than the meal out, WD and I have no plans for our long-long weekend. I will probably spruce up the resume a bit more, and maybe do some job searching. I may prompt him to do the same. I'm sure we will watch movies. I would like to watch The Shining again – haven't in a long time. I've been on a horror movie kick since we saw Rosemary's Baby with Lemon recently. That movie was outstanding. Then came American Horror Story, and my old appetite for creepy is rejuvinated. But it is creepy that I like – not slasher. And there's less out there that fits my requirements, as opposed to sheer "scary guy waiting behind the door with a big knife" crap. The psychological aspects of my kind of creepy must be well-developed. I want some intelligence in my creep.
I also plan to exercise a good bit over the long weekend. Some running, some strength. Would like to firm up a bit before I start the interview circuit. Although I have a lunch with a partner at a firm on Monday, and I'm not sure there's much I can do about the lack of firmness before Monday.

Many European supermarkets offer loaves from around the continent - from the French baguette through to the Italian ciabatta and Germany's dark pumpernickel. But ironically, despite the variety, many consumers are turning back to local bakeries or even rolling up their sleeves to make their own bread at home like some of their grandparents. This new trend doesn't surprise food scientist Professor Grazina Juodeikiene who thinks we are searching for the kind of flavour and texture often sacrificed during industrial bread-making. She headed a three-year EUREKA project, which found a way to deliver taste while maintaining a long shelf life.
The Lithuanian scientist first began thinking about bread when a foreign company arrived in her country to teach local bakers how to bake bread types such as the popular baguette. "It was excellent but the next day you could play baseball with it," she jokes. "My idea was to develop bread with what I now call the big 5: longer shelf life, better flavour, better texture, with more dietary fibre and fewer additives."
Perhaps the most surprising thing about the project FERMFOOD is that Juodeikiene's team has found ways to meet the needs of modern consumers by drawing on an ancient bread-making technique. As in the other Baltic countries, Lithuanians still eat sourdough bread - a tangy tasting bread that uses a natural leavening method, which some trace back to the ancient Egyptians.
The leavening technique was replaced in many countries by industrially processed yeast and food additives, but sourdough bread has continued to be the main staple in the Baltics and some other regions of the world. In sourdough, the secret ingredient is a "starter" or "mother" of flour and water that ferments when a lactobacillus bacteria culture is added. That starter gives the lightness to the dough. This living culture is fed and preserved for use in successive loaves and often passed down through the generations.
It's often very difficult for new joiner countries like Lithuania to secure funding for research.
In Lithuania, however, for many years, bakers relied on starters developed abroad. Juodeikiene felt it was time for Lithuania to have its own mother dough, produced through carefully developed know-how. During the project FERMFOOD, food scientists and technologists at the Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania, the largest technical university in the Baltic States, gathered samples of the lactobacillus cultures from bakeries in the country. Given the importance of sourdough rye bread to the Baltic States, the researchers joined up with others in their field from Latvia and Estonia.
Winning approval to run a EUREKA project was a coup for researchers from a region with less experience of European research schemes. "It's often very difficult for new joiner countries like Lithuania to secure funding for research and application procedures need to be simplified for small companies from villages," says Juodeikiene.
Her three-country team analysed the different forms of cultures and explored which factors affected the sourdough bread and when it would go mouldy. Juodeikiene used cutting-edge equipment, which allowed her to test the texture of bread. Through using acoustic waves, the researchers were able to repeat their tests on the same slice of bread, since the equipment kept the slices intact. As they learnt more about the different lactic acid bacteria strains they were able to develop better effective cultures to produce more long-lasting bread they were able to test out their findings in the working bakeries.
The quest for the perfect loaf was full of painstaking research and sometimes unexpected results in the bakeries. Starters are affected by high temperatures in bakeries and the equipment used by different bakeries also affected the results. Nevertheless, some of the FERMFOOD loaves turned out to have shelf lives of three weeks and were mould-free.
Bread with a shelf life of three weeks and mould-free – that's just amazing.
Since the project finished, scientists from Kaunas University have been advising bakeries and businesses on fermentation products. The results are clear. The bakery UAB Alytaus Duona won two gold medals in 2008 and 2009 for its bread. Project partner UAB Ustukiu Malunas is now selling fermentation products commercially that were developed during FERMFOOD. In an age where people are trying to eat more healthily, sourdough bread-making is attractive. The method is ideally suitable for making rye bread - which has lower calories than many other types, as well as containing more dietary fibre – since baker's yeast does not work well as a leavening agent with rye flour.
FERMFOOD results have even attracted interest from outside Europe, with Lithuania's Japanese embassy paying a visit to Juodeikiene's laboratory to learn more about it. Juodeikiene is not just sitting back and savouring the success of the project, however. Having improved the quality of sour dough bread, she thinks it is time to improve the grain that produces it. "The next big challenge is how we feed a growing world population," she says. "We have no option but to intensify crop production."
She thinks that the discoveries made in FERMFOOD can be applied to produce grain that is resistant to rotting, which would allow for intensified crop production without harming the environment. "What was so nice about FERMFOOD is how practical it was and that I see such a future in this research," she says.

Casa Lisboa introduces its brand new Portuguese menu by its new Chef Edgar Alves with a more authentic in flavors and ensuring traditional Portuguese dishes are resurrected with a creative touch to arouse new delight. Since its opening in mid-2010, Casa Lisboa was quickly recognized as the best and authentic Portuguese restaurant in town. Chef Alves has created a set of menu that combines the traditional Portuguese cuisine with a modern presentation with many high quality specialty products directly from Portugal including the seasonal baby sardines and the lberico pork tenderloin.
With over 18 years of experience, Chef alves started his career at Hotel Pestana Palacio, a 5 star hotel, in Lisbon. Chef alves had also worked with Aime Barroyer, a Michelin starred chef and was the apprentice of Paul Bocuse. Chef Alves later moved across Portugal, working for many notable hotels like Casino Lisboa Hotel and Hotel do Lago Montargil. He had also worked outside of Portugal and had been the executive chef at the Vila Verda and Kartoffelkaelderen and selected to represent Portugal in 2002, 2004, and 2008 to compete in IKA Culinary Olympics, a renowned chef competition in the world.
<Traditional Creamy Bacalhau Cassoulet>
Bacalhau gets the limelight in Portuguese cuisine. Chef Alves reinterpreted this traditional dish and presented now as an appetizer. The baked bacalhau with chopped onions, potatoes, and just the right amount of cream, brings out richness of bacalhau. The dish is cooked with traditional Portuguese copper pot, accompanied by some toasts, exuding the flavor of traditional Portuguese dishes.
<Classic Codfish Cakes>
Bacalhau, which is dried salted cod, is a representative of the Portuguese national dish. This classic dish is a combination of Bacalhau and potatoes, cooked in a classic style. At Casa Lisboa, the chef increases the proportion of Bacalhau to 60%, so that there is a hint of the chewy and silky Bacalhau meat in every bite. The savory of Bacalhau, the fresh parsley and the homemade garlic mayonnaise is a perfect match.
<"Santos Populares" Style Baby Sardines>
This dish is named after the famous festival "Santos Populares" that takes place in Portugal every June. It is also a traditional dish for the festival. Juicy baby sardines imported from Portugal are fried until crispy on the outside, served on toast and sweet bell pepper. The different textures and tastes of the 3 layers give customers a memorable experience right after one bite.
<Traditional Roasted Suckling Pig "Bairrada" Style>
This is the restaurant's signature dish, also a famous Portuguese dish. 2-month old piglets are selected and marinates according to the ancient Bairrada recipe for one day, then grills it for 3 hours until crispy and tender. The side dish of rice is cooked with suckling pig liver and chouriço. To add a fresh accent flavor, try brushing the pig against the orange slices before eating. A truly Portueguese culinary sensation.
<Poached Fresh Atlantic Cod with Roasted Tomato and Herbs>
The cod fish is cooked with olive oil under low temperature, which helps keep its freshness, natural color and tenderness. The sweet sauce made from fresh tomatoes, harmonizes perfectly with the cod fish.
<Baked Portuguese Duck Rice Old Style>
The broth for cooking the rice is stewed with fresh duck bones. While the duck meats are hand-shredded and put in the rice and then baked until golden. The combination of the slightly crispy rice, with the rich duck essence taste just delicious.
<Iberico Pork Tenderloin and Mushroom Juicy Rice>
This is a dish inspired by a traditional family recipe of Chef Edgar. The top layer is the juicy and tender Iberico pork tenderloin. The bottom layer is the rice cooked in a traditional family style, with asparagus and carrots, which represents a childhood memory of Chef Edgar's home in the forest.
<Traditional Seafood "Cataplana" Stew>
All ingredients are placed into the traditional copper pot "Cataplana" to slow cook for 15 minutes. The sealed method of cooking keeps the freshness of the seafood. The orangey spicy broth is the essence from the great variety of the seafood. A must order!
The cozy ambience decorated with Portuguese pavement with black and white wave pattern. The walls are covered with copper pots, colorful handicrafts from Portugal, as well as the paintings that depict the local lives in Lisbon. Together with the famous Portuguese blue and white ceramic tiles, Casa Lisboa provides a total immersion experience into the Portuguese culture as well as extensive selections of Portuguese wines, ranging from red, white, green, porto and even beer, all are imported directly from Portugal.

Jobs and Climate Change
A particularly onerous obstacle to any lowering levels of atmospheric pollution CO2, CO, methane, nitrous oxide, CFCs, aerosols and black soot into the air leading to any reduction of effects on climate intensity, avoidance of sea level rise, ecological flora and fauna protection and saving habitat for humans is the use of the term "jobs."
Jobs (not Steve but work) is used as a disguise for continued corporate pollution and profitable waste to prevent environmental protection or acknowledgement that social change must occur to make any dent in the ineluctable one or two degree Celsius increase from climate forces that will cause all sorts of damage. We now see droughts and fires in Russia, the Gulf pollution, Pakistan floods, and intensity of hurricanes arriving along with sea level rise, glacial melt and that wonderful variable factor "feedback response" in which different aspects unite to increase the intensity of all the above. Climate change is a current topic of journalistic fumbling while the greenwashers will prevail in the US.
However. the subject is not made of one issue, or simplistic fixes. The intrinsic contradictions within the system persist and remain obstacles to any effective response. It wants to destroy its own resources. It would be helpful to cite the duplicity being used to continue marching to the tune of Obama-hope and green-entrepreneurs.
When General Motors wanted to obtain bailout funds from Obama's economic advisors, Geither and Summers, they said "Jobs! GM is here to protect jobs." While Union members prayed for GM, the corporation was loaned $50 billion to revive GM's machinery to produce cars that pollute in the making and the running and in the replacing. In 2008-9 when the auto industry only made 12 million private autos, fewer people died in crashes and destruction and pollution was reduced. When they ramped up to 15 million cars, providing more jobs, more people died, more pollution was created. Recently E. Whitacre Chief of GM, a major producer of military vehicles, said, "We want the government out, period." He aims to return the $50 billion since the Treasury owns 61% of GM. ( NY Times. Aug 6,10: B1) Will GM hire more workers and produce more cars to produce more pollution resulting in more dead, injured drivers and pedestrians? And where do the older cars go, into what dump site?
Had the Obama funds been devoted to public transportation buses, trains, jitneys, tricycles, skateboards, roller skates, walking sticks, hiking boots it would have saved thousands of lives, provided different jobs and produced less pollution and incidentally lowered the carbon footprint of the auto industry. The bailout of GM doesn't mean that the autoworkers will obtain improved wages, health benefits or better working conditions. A United Auto Worker member who used to make $34 an hour now gets only $24 an hour while recent hired get less. Auto factories in the South are often non-union and the pay is closer to $15 an hour.
In the BP case, Gulf state governors Democrats and Republicans all agree to keep drilling – drilling leads to oil spills before during and after, leaks, or blowouts, gushers, polluting burn offs, dribbles, dumps, and waste discarded into the waters. BP is "beyond oil" but still into pollution, all to keep jobs! BP and other oil corporations demand to lift the ban on deep-water drilling along with thousands of workers who make good money, followed by all the equipment providers, retailers and communities that fish part time and oil rig half time.
The odd element here, called false consciousness, is when the shrimpers assist in the opening of deep water drilling which in turn inevitably poisons the fish habitat, and the water column. Perhaps the hydrocarbon and dispersant diet the shrimp ingest will increase their color for sale. However, reading closer, a number of resort supply houses are importing fish from outside the Gulf.
Wetlands soaked in oil are not in the adverts BP places in the NY Times and the WS Journal, rather pictures of crews cleaning up oil blobs on beaches. How misfocused are those full page adverts when the significant ecological food producing areas are the wetlands, the delta, the coral reefs, the water column – all less visible but more important even to tourismo. "Phytoplankton ala BP Gusher oil" must be on someone's Fish Menu.
Meanwhile Obama announced it was "all right to fish" in the Gulf. In all sections? Fishing organizations want an outside examination of the hydrocarbons and dispersants in the water column. Where did the
un-accounted 2.5 billion barrels of oil go?
The Gulf, like many bodies of water around the US, has been a dumping ground for military waste, ship ballast and runoff from agribusiness toxic pesticides, as the Mississippi delta has been. The Gulf waters heaves up and the pollution up-she-rises (old folk song) yet the workers join with BP leading the racket to damn and deny ecological matters. "Forget next year, we want jobs now."
And so 10,000 voters tell their governors who tell their Senators to tell Obama, lift the drill-moratorium on deep water sites, ignoring and denying that the pollution kills not only the fish-bird-fish-food web, but the first recipients are workers who breath in toxic air pollutants, or die in blow outs, as the great energy/profit search endangers a whole ecological system. The workers in or out of unions demand to be exploited (paid well), while industry (in this case Halliburton, Transocean, plus BP) exploits all within touch, or breath.
One factor more (and the greatest obstacle to any US reduction of CO2, methane and nitrous oxide (ozone depleters) leading to increased warming) is the US military with its Pentagon budget of $700 billion a year (ever rising) and connections to every state in the Union. Each state receives a cut for production of weapons,therefore Senators vote for the stimulating military package, despite the pollution created in manufacturing and the use of vehicles, helicopters, airplanes with ecological damage visited upon other countries, populations, even the US soldiers who use Depleted Uranium, or breathe in the wonders of "Open Burn-Pit" fires in Iraq and Afghanistan. (NYT Aug. 7, 10: A10)
I have been doing research on the ecological damage the US military is responsible for, so I could use data to backup my statement that the "US military is the worst ecological disaster devised by the US Empire." I had to work that sentence over a few times.
"The worst ecological disaster is the military and its wars." Or,
"The Military is the worst ecological disaster of the Empire." Or,
"Capitalist Militarism is the worst example of ecological damage."
I haven't found a satisfactory sentence to include just enough without making it sound apocalyptic. But I did find a good story whose last line was key. "Old Weapons Off Hawaii Should Stay Put, Army says. Honolulu. (NYT Aug l, 10: 19). Chemical weapons dumped in deep water five miles south of Pearl Harbor after World War II should remain at the site because moving them could pose more of a threat to people and the environment, the Army says." [Nine paragraphs later] "The military used the ocean as a dumping ground for munitions from 1919 to 1970." [1919?]
I found this on August 6th__ Hiroshima day.

Phenomena Silver Sinister196276 5/8 x 59 1/4 in. acrylic on canvas
Part of the post-war Abstract Expressionist movement, Paul Jenkins was renowned for his technique of controlled paint pouring and use of translucent colors. His paintings drew on wide range of philosophies from Gurdjieff to Goethe, Jung to Zen Buddhism, astrology to alchemy, and all of which inspired him to preface the titles of his works with the word "Phenomena," followed by an evocative word or phrase. Jenkins remarked of his painting process, "I try to paint like a crapshooter throwing dice, utilizing past experience and my knowledge of the odds. It's a big gamble, and that's why I love it." His combination of chance and control reveals paintings of dazzling depth and beauty with their sinuous seams and arcs of colors, in other words, a phenomenon. Paul Jenkins was friends with Willem de Kooning and even took over de Kooning's loft near Union Square in New York City.

Are New Delhi's Trees a British Legacy?
Pradip Krishen is passionate about trees. A filmmaker-turned-naturalist as well as an author, Mr. Krishen spent almost a decade working on his "Trees of Delhi," his popular 2006 field guide. His "Jungle Trees of Central India," will be released later this year. Writing about plants and trees was also the focus of his session at the Jaipur Literature Festival, which ended Tuesday.
On a recent afternoon, India Real Time sat with Mr. Krishen, 62, and asked him to what extent New Delhi's trees are a British legacy. Edited excerpts.
WSJ: What was Delhi's vegetation like before the capital was moved there in 1911?
Mr. Krishen: All the evidence that we have, which is basically some travelers' accounts, suggest that most of the area that is south of the Walled City [Old Delhi] was pretty empty. There are some reports by people in the later part of the nineteenth century that suggest it was just rubble, gravestones, old mausoleums, and mostly just a devastated kind of place.
But if you look at the natural ecology of this part of Delhi, there is no reason why it shouldn't have supported good vegetation. What's known as the lower-alluvial or the Bangar region, which includes all the areas like Golf Links, Mathura Road, Lodi Gardens, has very good soil. But if you read, for example, accounts of what Lodi Gardens was like at the turn of the century, it sounds awful.
For reasons that may have been partly historical and partly just because it was just over-grazed kind of place, it was very poorly vegetated before trees were planted there after 1911.
WSJ: Are New Delhi's trees, in some ways, a British legacy?
Mr. Krishen: New Delhi's trees are definitely a British legacy. But it's important to sort out what is the British component and what is the non-British component. Obviously, the schemes are getting muddied. For example, along Akbar Road where you have the imlis, now you have second row of amaltas at the back. That is not part of the British planting.
What is also a British legacy is the prosopis julifora, which has taken over all of Delhi's semi-wild areas. If you go to the ridge, it is now dominated by this Central American tree that was introduced only in the 1920s. It has invaded this place in a huge way.
WSJ: How important were trees and plants for the design of Lutyens' Delhi?
Mr. Krishen: There were many many avenues in Lutyens' Delhi. They initially only chose 13 species of trees and slowly expanded to 16 species, which they planted along various avenues.
The original intention was to have major avenues point in the direction of a particular feature, like a monument or other. The trees that lined the avenue would frame the monument. They wanted the trees to frame that feature by choosing trees of appropriate sizes.
They were consciously trying to avoid using trees that have become so common that nobody would look at them again. For example, all the most common trees that the Mughals would plant as avenue trees, they would tend to avoid.
They didn't plant mangoes, the banyan, nor the shisham [Indian rosewood.]They planted things like the peepal [sacred fig] but not hugely. The neem [Indian lilac,] the jamun [Indian blackberry] and the arjun became the three main trees for them.
There were some inspired ideas. Very often you take a tree from the wild and you don't quite know how it's going to adapt to cultivation. There is for example a tree called the anjan [Indian blackwood.] It's a tree that to my mind had never been planted as an avenue tree anywhere. It's not even a north Indian tree. Somebody I think took a bit of a risk and planted it on Pandara Road. It turned out to be one among the most beautiful trees of the city.
WSJ: Did the British planner get some of the trees wrong?
Mr. Krishen It's only been 100 years and in many cases it's only 70-80 years since British planting was done. In a way, it's a good time to do a kind of ecological audit of how these trees have performed.
They tried a tree which is commonly called Buddha's coconut or narikel. It was planted in one avenue because in some towns like Dehradun it forms very beautiful avenues—very tall, very straight and very formal looking. Somebody who was trying to get that effect would have said "let's plant narikel in Delhi." But if you go to Bishamber Das Road today, where it was planted, there are huge gaps and the tree has not survived well.
WSJ: What was their planting 'philosophy'?
Mr. Krishen To my mind, the biggest issue was that the British consciously tried to avoid planning trees that they knew to be deciduous, trees that seasonally shed their leaves.
They seem to have this bias that if a tree loses its leaves then "we don't want it." Otherwise how do you explain why they would not plant the amaltas [Indian laburnum]? It is one of the most beautiful trees that we have in this part.
As somebody who works very closely with trees that are native, I find this odd because actually all the trees that the British planted turned out to be deciduous, like the jamun.
WSJ: What are the ecological challenges that the trees of Delhi face?
Mr. Krishen: Some trees are much more capable of dealing with atmospheric pollution and some are more prone to particular kind of pollution.
Water is going to be crucial. If you plant a tree that has a tap root that goes right down and if you expect that tap root to be reaching ground water, what is going to happen when that ground water levels are dramatically falling because of the extraction of water?

Kocsor Wins MPSF Indoor Weight Throw Crown
Feb. 29, 2008
Junior Boldizsar Kocsor blew away the competition to win his first MPSF Indoor weight throw crown on day one of the conference meet in Seattle, WA. Kocsor out-distanced his nearest competitor by over seven feet, tossing an NCAA qualifier of 69-9.50.
Washington leads the meet after five events scored with 31 points. Arizona State is close behind with 29 points, followed by Washington St. (25), Oregon (23), Cal State Northridge (17) and UCLA (16).
The distance medley relay team also put on a strong performance as they improved their NCAA qualifying time by nearly five seconds to place third overall. The team of Marlon Patterson, Elijah Wells, Cory Primm and Laef Barnes were just one second shy of the NCAA auto time with their run of 9:35.02. That time ranks amongst the top-10 in the nation this season.
Stan Griffin tallied two lifetime-bests on Friday as he finished 10th in the 200m (21.86) and tied for 16th in the 60m (6.99). In the 5000m, Drew Shackleton led the way with his 11th-place run of 14:26.35. Kyle Shackleton was 16th (14:41.24) with Alex Crabill close behind in 18th-place (14:43.10).
Matt Reuter, competing in his first indoor heptathlon, tallied a score of 2,812 points. He was second in the high jump with a clearance of 6-6 (785 points), sixth in the long jump (21-4.25/700 points), sixth in the 60m (7.28/785 points) and ninth in the shot put (35-10.75/542 points).
Also on Friday, Taylor Hobson jumped a season-best 22-10 in the long jump to finish 13th overall, while Bryson Banks placed 18th with a mark of 22-2.25.

Why this seminar?
While the VoIP (Voice over IP) hype for the consumer market is in full swing (e.g. look at all the hype about the acquisition of Skype by eBay), we're post-hype in the corporate market. Many companies and public institutions are announcing or implementing large-scale migrations, and for new greenfield situations, Voice over IP is a no-brainer. The advantages of scalability, usage of one single network for Voice and Data and easier maintenance outweigh any remaining doubt about sound quality, service level and robustness.
However, also for companies with an existing telephony infrastructure, IP telephony
is an option. Growth in work force, relocation, setting up new branches, all
of this can be the trigger to implement a mixed VoIP-PABX solution.
And last but not least: the convergence of Voice and Data enables new functionality: flexible solutions for mobile workers, "intelligent" phones (as a device or software-based) that are capable of handling metadata and application logic, and the integration of phone calls as just another data-input stream for CRM or ERP-like applications.
But decisions about corporate telephony aren't taken overnight: users do not accept the slightest glitch when it's about telephony (compare this with software applications, where failures seem to be taken for granted!). Vendor choice will determine your strategy for the coming years, and, as always with young technologies, there's the risk of expensive proprietary systems lacking long-term prospects.
This is why we have set up a vendor-independent seminar that includes a thorough overview of the technology and its opportunities, and considerations on product and strategic choices. A real-life case-study will illustrate the issues at stake.

Talk to the Home Loan Experts at Fellowship Home Loans about Refinancing
Refinancing your home can come with many benefits including the ability to take advantage of historically low rates that are expected to rise again soon. Refinancing to lower your mortgage by just a single percentage point can end up saving you thousands throughout the life of the loan. The refinancing experts at Fellowship Home Loans are here to answer your questions about refinancing and help you find the perfect loan for your particular circumstance.
There are plenty of great reasons to consider refinancing
Some of the most common reasons for meeting with our home loan experts about a refinance can include the following:
- Do you have a child attending college soon? Want to finance part or all of their education? Refinancing a mortgage can pay for your child's education without having to take out a student loan, or it can significantly lower the amount needed for a student loan.
- Starting a business? Refinancing can help to pay for your startup costs and provide you with the liquid capital to take care of some of your initial business expenses.
- Looking to travel? You may have an opportunity to go on a missionary trip or take a vacation to another country, and you can use the equity in your home that you've worked so hard to earn to finance your trip.
Everyone has a different reason for seeking a home refinance. At Fellowship Home Loans our refinancing consultants will meet with you to go over your particular situation and find out what you are hoping to accomplish with your refinance. We'll spend the time needed to educate you about the different choices that you can consider.
Several refinancing choices available
Fellowship Home Loans is proud to offer you a wide range of refinancing options that our home loan consultants can speak with you about, including the following:
- Fixed rate mortgages – Fixed rate mortgages offer fixed payments throughout the entire life of the loan, and they allow you take advantage of the great low rates that are currently in effect before they start to rise again.
- Adjustable rate mortgages – Adjustable rate mortgages can be a good choice for homeowners who are planning to move. As honest refinancing specialists, we'll let you know the pros and cons of choosing an adjustable rate mortgage for your refinance.
- FHA refinancing – A FHA Cash-Out refinance can allow you to access the equity in your home and refinance your remaining debt. There are no limitations on what the cash can be used for, which makes it a good option for many homeowners who want access to their equity.
- Conventional refinancing – A conventional loan can work for you depending on your requirements, and it is similar to the FHA options that you may have available.
Our home loan specialists can speak with you to determine which option is more suitable for your needs.
We believe in honesty and integrity
At Fellowship Home Loans our home loan experts are focused on giving you every potential opportunity to obtain the refinance that you are seeking. As a company with core values we believe in treating everyone the way that we would treat our own family.
You can trust that our refinancing specialists will have a compassionate and attentive approach as you work with us to find the best option. Contact us today at 1-800-804-SAVE (7283) for more information about the refinancing options that may be available to you, or send us an email at [email protected]

You've been doing the same tasks for as long as you can remember. New skills? New responsibilities? Can't really name any off the top of your head. In fact, you're starting to feel like things are a little stalled. It's time to pay attention to how your job is affecting your career as a whole.
This post originally appeared on The Muse.
I know. You have a good job. You work for an interesting company, and you like your boss and co-workers. And I also know that, sometimes, sticking with the status quo is exactly what you want out of your career.
But, if it's important to you to continue growing and advancing in your professional life, it's time to pay attention to how your current job is affecting your future career as a whole. And, more importantly, to recognise these signs that tell you when it might be at a standstill.
1. The Only Way You Can Move Up Is if Your Boss Retires
Or, you know, gets hit by a bus Regina George-style. If you're in one of those organisations with a rigid structure where everyone moves up the same ladder — and the rung ahead of you won't be vacated anytime soon — then a promotion or advancement probably isn't on the horizon for you.
If this is the case, you can (and should) talk to your supervisor about what your options are. Could you at least take on some new responsibilities? Or, if there isn't an opportunity for you in your current department, maybe there is in another. Of course, if you've done that, and there's still no hope of movement, there's nowhere for you to go but out.
You can also avoid this dilemma in your next position by asking questions like this during interviews: "How do employees grow and develop their careers here?" or "What does a typical career path at your company look like?"
2. You Get Passed Over for a Promotion More Than Once
Whatever the reason behind this might be, the fact is something or someone is preventing you from moving up in your current organisation.
Before packing up your things, do take the time to sit down your manager and ask why this happened again. Perhaps it's something you're doing and you're unwittingly self-sabotaging — if that's the case, you have something to work on. But if no one's giving you a clear reason on why you got passed over, it's likely that not much is going to change in the future.
3. Your Company Is Cutting Back
During the recession, there wasn't much you could do about your employer tightening its belt — everyone else was doing the same thing. But now, with a healthier economy, you have more options, and you should pay attention if your company seems to be cutting back.
You don't even necessarily need to be seeing mass layoffs or salary freezes. Just look out for signs that business isn't really growing, like dwindling job openings or the fact that every major player in your industry is moving in a similar direction — while yours remains stagnant. If growth really is slowing down, pretty soon you're going to be in that first "situation" I mentioned.
4. Your Whole Industry Is Shrinking
This one requires taking a step back. The realisation that the industry you've built your career in is slowly disappearing is not one that goes over well for many people. But the earlier you catch on to it, the better off you'll be. Yes, it's a tough pill to swallow, but it's better to know now, rather than be blindsided later on.
The good news? Plenty of people change careers. You can prepare by starting to think about what (else) you'd like to do with your life. What do you love about your job now? What are some things you've always been interested in? What are some interesting jobs you've seen friends and colleagues have? Take those answers and see what other fields utilise those skills and talents.
Once you've recognised that there's a problem, the next step is to do something about it. (Spoiler alert: It probably involves looking for a new job.) If you're not quite ready for that, a good first step is doing some networking to see what's out there. Then, once you get to the point you know you need to make a change, you'll be in a good position to launch right into job search mode

Costume by Bravo: Being Patti Stanger
Spend your Halloween as The Millionaire Matchmaker.
We know you loved last week's Andy Cohen costume idea, but maybe you want to go for something a little more feminine? If you're feeling fab enough, you could spend the night as the Million Matchmaker herself, Patti Stanger!
Patti is fun, vivacious, and absolutely shameless, so make sure you're up for a high energy night. She has no problem diving into the touchiest subjects in front of a national audience, and never censors herself to her clients. A third generation matchmaker with an extremely high success rate, Patti has no reason to tone herself down — clearly, the woman knows what she's doing.
In order to get the Patti look down, you'll need a few basic pieces and a couple of fun accessories:
- Form-fitting Dress: Patti is always rocking a tight dress that accentuates her curves. A black, blue, or purple dress will do in a pinch, but a perfect Patti costume has got to be bright pink. And work it!
- Black Wig: You'll need an ultra-straight 'do. If you aren't blessed with Patti's silky straight look, a long black wig is your best bet. And ditch the bangs (they're so last season).
- Heels: While the Millionaire Matchmaker is average height (about 5'8), her collection of heels makes her look statuesque. For your costume, the more dramatic, the better: We're thinking black thigh-high boots (but when aren't we?).
- Hearts: Jewelry, stickers, temporary tattoos — anything you can think of that screams "Love!" Patti is all about reading auras and spreading the message of togetherness. It's all about positive energy! If you want to take it the extra mile, you can even add cupid wings and a bow and arrow.
-Lingo: Patti's lingo is... well... bold. Study up on your Patti-isms, and be sure to tell people, "No here, no here, and no here!" We'll let you decide where to point.
Also, try to play matchmaker during the night! Set people up with strangers, or even yourself (Patti is back on the market, after all).
The key, of course, is doing your homework. Luckily Patti is giving weekly seminars every Tuesday at 9/8 c on the new season of The Millionaire Matchmaker.
