I'm happy to say that last week's Plane Porn was very well-received! Thanks to everyone who checked it out. I received quite a few great submissions from several readers, and I'll be sharing some of them in the weeks to come. As a reminder, if you have aircraft photos you'd like to share, please send them my way to email@example.com
This week, I've decided to feature airline liveries that aren't flying anymore. There are dozens of bygone airlines and some classic paint schemes that went along with some of them.
First up, (pictured at the top) Independence Air. Remember them? They were hardly around long enough to make any memories, only from 2004 to 2006. Also called FLYi, they were based at Washington Dulles (IAD). In 2005, FLYi had a student special, where for a one-time fee of $250, students could fly on any Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday from May 1 through August 31.
Another flash-in-the-pan airline was Skybus. It was based in Columbus, Ohio of all places. Not that Columbus is bad, just an odd place to base an airline. Skybus hauled passengers through the clouds from May 2007 to April 2008.

Next, we have a Northwest Airlines A319 in what avgeeks call the "Bowling Shoe" livery. It's not hard to figure out why, if you've ever worn rented shoes at the lanes.
After the Bowling Shoe, Northwest went with this pearl-silver livery that was just a half-step from plain boring white. I don't know about you, but NWA always made me think of the rap group from Compton. Northwest is now completely gone, having merged with Delta Air Lines.
Remember "Ted?" I didn't either, until I spent some time this weekend browsing my digital archives. Ted was an offshoot of United (see what they did there?) meant to compete with low-cost carrier Frontier at United's hub in Denver. Ted comprised a fleet of 57 Airbus A320s, and only flew from 2004 to 2009.
How about America West? They bought out by U.S. Airways, but kept the U.S. Airways name, as it had more brand recognition worldwide. Avgeeks jokingly called this one the Jurassic Park livery. The merger with U.S. Airways did not go smoothly, as unionized workforces battled to integrate seniority lists. Now, U.S. Airways is having the same issue as it merges into American Airlines.
Here's a better-looking America West livery. U.S. Airways has done a nice job at preserving their historic liveries on jets that are still flying.
And just for kicks, you probably remember U.S. Airways old livery.
This dated Delta livery was called "Wavy Gravy" or "Deltaflot," for its resemblance to Russia's Aeroflot on the tail. I never thought the engines matched the tail very well on this scheme either.
Here's one that disappeared not too long ago, ATA. The low-cost and charter airline was based in Indianapolis and flew from 1973 to 2008, when they ceased operations under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Their operating certificate and trademarks were bought by Southwest Airlines for the bargain sum of $7.5 million.
This is obviously not a full list here, but we'll explore more another time. Next week, I'll be devoting the whole post to great photos submitted by readers. Here's one as a sneak peak - a beautiful DC-3 shot by Jordan Witherspoon in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Until next time, happy flying!
All photos except for the Skybus A319 and Jordan's DC-3 were taken by the author, Paul Thompson.

Oh dear.
So these people want to join with the Tories & vote to bomb Syria @jo_cox1@JWoodcockMP #sad http://t.co/WRAg4FwjUc
— Diane Abbott MP (@HackneyAbbott) October 10, 2015
Labour Shadow International Development Secretary Diane Abbott is right to be sceptical of air strikes on ISIS. But she's completely misread where Jo Cox and John Woodcock, two centrist Labour MPs, are coming from in their push for a cross-party approach on Syria. And in the process, she's played straight into the hands of those parts of the media that are rubbing their hands in anticipation of a big bust-up within the Labour Party.
Start with the air strikes. As I wrote in a post here on Global Dashboard almost exactly a year ago, I have great misgivings about the west's existing strategy of air strikes on ISIS, for two reasons.
One, because they're militarily dubious. Air strikes only work in conjunction with effective allied forces on the ground. Those exist in Kurdistan, but not elsewhere in Iraq – and barely at all in Syria. What's more, as counter-insurgency writer William Lind observes,
The enemy quickly finds ways to conceal and protect himself from air attack. It's harder in desert country, but by no means impossible. Irregular light cavalry forces such as ISIS are difficult to distinguish from civilians from the air, and they will quickly intermingle their columns with traveling civilians so the air strikes kill women and kids.
This leads on to the second problem with air strikes on ISIS, again succinctly summed up by Lind (emphasis added):
By attacking ISIS, a force with few air defenses, from the air, we will fall once again into the doomed role of Goliath endlessly stomping David. That will strengthen ISIS's moral appeal and serve as a highly effective recruiting tool for them … As air attack has its usual effect of pushing those under bombardment closer together while giving them a burning desire for revenge against enemies they cannot reach, ISIS's power at the moral level of war will grow by leaps and bounds.
For both of those reasons, I share Abbott's instinctive scepticism of air strikes on ISIS. They may make us feel better, and scratch the "something must be done" itch – but they're unlikely to work, and may well end up empowering the forces they're supposed to weaken.
But Abbott gets it totally wrong with her late night tweet yesterday, responding to a Guardian piece with news that as many as 50 Labour MPs, led by Cox and Woodcock, may vote with the Conservatives to support a new approach to Syria set out in a joint article, also published today, by Cox and former Conservative International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell.
In her tweet, Abbott makes two big errors.
The first is to imply that Cox and Mitchell's proposal is simply to "bomb Syria" – as if they are merely proposing a continuation of the current, failed approach of 'air strikes only / ISIS only'.
Instead, Cox and Mitchell's article is calling for a major shift – starting with the recognition that if your priority is civilian protection, then you can't just target ISIS and ignore the Assad regime which, with its barrel bombs and chemical weapons attacks, is by far the biggest source of innocent casualties in this long conflict.
Nor are they proposing air strikes alone. Instead, it's clear from briefings given to inform the Guardian's accompanying news article that this is about a much more comprehensive approach, which could include "the use of troops to protect new "safe havens" inside Syria, and enforce a "no-fly" or "no bombing zone" to prevent Assad launching further attacks on his own people, as well as moves to hit Islamic State in Syria".
To be sure, there are still big questions about what Cox and Mitchell are proposing.
For one thing, I still feel uneasy about including air strikes on ISIS as part of the mix, for the reasons set out above. (True, a no-fly zone would also include air strikes, primarily on Assad's air defences and airfields – but Lind's 'Goliath vs David' point about perceptions, legitimacy and the moral level of warfare wouldn't apply in the same way here, and I also find it easier to see how these strikes would work militarily.)
More fundamentally, I have a lot of questions about how their proposed approach would work in the multi-side proxy conflict that Syria's civil war has now become. After all, Russian air forces have been responsible for plenty of civilian deaths in the past week: would we be attacking their air base at Latakia too?
(Of course, Cox and Mitchell aren't suggesting this, and instead it proves their point that any military scaling up would have to be matched by a diplomatic scaling up too, where there are tentative signs of progress in talks between the US and Russia – but the Russia question remains the gorilla in the room in all this.)
The bottom line, though, is that Cox and Mitchell are making a valuable and important contribution in reviving and bringing fresh ideas to a debate in Britain that's become stuck and that has too often lost sight of what should be our top priority: the humanitarian and civilian protection dimension.
And this leads to the other thing that Abbott gets wrong in her tweet: its tone, with its sour references to Cox, Woodcock and other Labour MPs as "these people" and to "join[ing] with the Tories".
Abbott may disagree with Cox and Woodcock's position, but she should at least acknowledge the seriousness of their intent and the integrity of their motives. Instead, she weakens her case, and offers a gift to all those hoping that Labour will go to war with itself under Jeremy Corbyn. Most of all, she diminishes her own standing by bringing party politics into it – as though this were about her or Jeremy Corbyn's authority, or "the Tories", rather than about thinking much harder about what we can do to protect the innocent victims of Syria's war.

Oh, please! Save us the sanctimony. Rudeness is never appropriate or educational, and it's disingenuous to try to justify personal arrogance as "help". Sure, I've flamed people in the past (generally people who come in and start criticizing and acting boorish without even asking a sincere question), but, to my knowledge, I haven't ever done it to someone who sincerely wanted to learn, and I don't think I ever tried to justify it as being "for their own good". It's quite possible to educate people about helpful resources without being an ass.Originally Posted by user unknown
And Flash00's criticisms about the available resources is quite valid. I try to sort through and do some rewriting when I get a chance, but some of it is just awful. Outdated information, fragmented all over the place, overly complicated "fixes" - a good portion of documentation purporting to address a particular issue is generally not at all helpful, or just flat wrong. I'd do more, except: (1) my knowledge is limited here, and I only try to address the issues where I feel some level of competency and experience (which means that I normally limit my contributions to newbie and Windows transition issues), and (2) some people get upset if you delete or rewrite what they wrote, even if it's confusing or outdated, and given how rare it is that anyone will add good documentation, you sure can't afford to offend them. Ideally, people would edit and update their own contributions as necessary. In sum, I guess it's difficult for me to accept the "culture" of RTFM, when there really isn't an available "FM" to be had! Sometimes it's an "FUM".
Funny thing, Ptarmigan and I actually participated in another thread a few days ago, talking about how Windows has a way of creating a sense of helplessness, and that it was actually refreshing to get back into an environment where you have the freedom to change the way a program runs if you want to. Not only is that difficult in Windows, but the most influential people spend millions of dollars to convince (they would say "educate") the users that this is morally wrong - even criminal! It's hacking after all!! After a few years, Windows users don't even realize that they've been brainwashed to be passive and helpless. In many ways, it's not only tolerated, but required that you do nothing without a wizard instructing you. I still remember times when I dared to pick a different install location for a Windows program, and all heck broke loose, then I couldn't even uninstall the mess, much less fix it. In the Windows world, the very idea of editing a program is likely a felony under the DMCA.
So, I can easily understand why people who have spent a long time in Linux cannot understand the helplessness of Windows immigrants. To the Linux oldtimers, it must be really hard to tolerate. All I can say is that it's not always laziness, stupidity or lack of initiative. Sometimes it's just a matter of not yet catching on to the freedom that Linux affords. And why should we get upset if a new user asks about the root password? To the Windows user, the whole concept is completely foreign. They deserve congratulation for even making it far enough to ask. Why should we take them to task for not understanding the "mount" command, when even Linux users agree that it's a stupid, useless artifact of an ancient era - outdated and unnecessary long before Windows was even conceived? The people who seek help come from Windows expecting to find an OS that's intuitive to new users - not one that's baffling even to people who are well-experienced in another OS. Is it their fault that Linux cannot meet that challenge?
Let's put the shoe on the other foot - how many experienced Linux users have ever had to use Windows, and found it so frustrating and baffling that they couldn't even make the simplest thing work - something like, say, opening or saving a file? How many of you actually had to search around and find a forum of Windows users, and cowtow and kiss butt to ask them such embarrassingly simple questions, only to be taken to task for not RTFMing all of the Windows documentation? And, for that matter, how many of you have actually taken the time to read all of the help and support pages in Windows, or read through the Microsoft Knowledge Base? And what if you did, and all the stuff from Windows 3.1 and 95 and Me was all jumbled up together with XP and 2000 by amateur writers, such that a good portion of the time, whatever you looked up won't work even if you went to all that trouble? Point is, the experienced Linux user, when suddenly put into a Windows environment, doesn't experience the same level of frustration and humiliation as the experienced Windows user who comes here.
On this forum, people from other countries post here, and their English is terrible, but does anyone take them to task and tell them to RTFD(ictionary)? And then justify it as part of a "culture"? Or "good for them"? Of course not. It's rude and uncalled for. Someone from Greece or Hungary who posts here in bad English doesn't owe me or anyone else here an apology, because they spoke well enough for me to understand, which is a damn sight better than I could ever imagine doing if I tried to speak Greek or Hungarian.

Spoilers for last night's American Idol Season 10 finale below:
I'll just spoil it for you before the jump: this year's American Idol is—a country singer!
Oh, which one? The choice boiled down, as in years past, to what you think the voting criteria should be: the finale performance or the season over all? Is Idol the Super Bowl, where even a wild-card should win if they have a great night? Or is it Formula One racing (please tell me I have the analogy right), where the winner is determined by cumulative performance over the season?
To my ear Lauren had (arguably) the better performance on Tuesday; Scotty was (I think plainly) the superior performer over the whole season. America voted, and…
…picked Scotty. And got it right, even if the result was less than suspenseful. (I.e., I called it weeks ago, and I am no genius at calling Idol winners.) The difference between the two performers was plain Wednesday from their pairings on their celebrity duets. Scotty, singing with Tim McGraw, looked like he belonged on that stage every bit as much as the established star. Lauren, paired with Carrie Underwood, seemed nervous, awed and grateful—nothing against her voice, and she has crossover appeal, but she doesn't seem quite ready yet, while Scotty appears born ready.
I'll admit that I am not a huge fan of Scotty's genre—straight-ahead but contemporary country—and I found his singing manner affected, but I can't deny his talent. And I found new respect for him in the way he sang what I am going to go out on a limb and call the worst Idol coronation song in the show's history, "I Love You This Big." (Seriously, unless the lyric is some horribly dirty double entendre, it has no business being sung by an adult.) Which is to say, Scotty barely tried to sing it, instead going into the audience and audibly hugging family and freinds in between a few half-hearted lines.
How was the rest of the show? It was two hours and seven minutes, is how it was. Per usual, the show was packed with guest performances from the artists you see doing guest performances a lot these days—Beyonce, Gaga—plus a Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark song in which, surprisingly, no one was injured. New judges Steven Tyler and J-Lo each got a turn on the stage, as did the eliminated finalists, copiously. Interestingly, though there was much talk this season about the strength of the boys—and Scotty did win, after all—the ladies actually sounded better as a group.
And that's your season! I've had a lot to say about Idol this year, not a ton of it positive. The new judges brought personality but not a lot of judging, and unfortunately the voting eliminated the more interesting performers (e.g., Naima) early. But does it matter what I think? Idol's ratings survived the loss of Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres nicely, and I suspect that Scotty—if we guess from the loyalty of his fans and the success of Carrie Underwood—may be the right singer in the right genre for Idol to have its first commercial-success winner in a while. [Compare last season's winner Lee DeWyze, who was relegated to sitting in the audience unacknowledged, like a second-tier cast member from Bones.]
Which means, Idol, if you know what's good for you, keep doing what critics like me don't like next year. Could you get the writer of "I Love You This Big" to pen a sequel? Because I would hate that this big.

Summer, chillout and sun – it means I finally have time to stay in and read! When my school bought a bunch of nice CPD books I snatched the one by Mr Stanley who's one of the people I truly respect (I even wrote about his IATEFL plenary three years ago) and would love to read everything he's written. I was sure I'd love the book…
…and since I've just finished it I'm happy to confirm my presumption.
The subtitle is quite promising – "Ideas for integrating technology in the classroom" and I'm delighted to confirm that this is exactly what the book consists of: ideas, examples, useful links and everything I love about a good "how to teach" book.
We have 11 chapters here, from integrating technology and building a learning community through particular skills, project work, finishing with assessment and evaluation. Each part includes several activities with examples and useful links. I'll just mention the few of them I'm really eager to try:
Digital camera scavenger hunt (vocabulary):
Prepare a list of items to be found and photographed around school, divide the class into teams and give them 10 minutes to find and take photos of the items. Lovely warm-up for classroom vocabulary.
Learner-generated quizzes (vocabulary):
Ask your students to create quizzes for one another, looks like great fun and it may be even better when you make it a pairwork activity. The sites you may use are Quia, Quizzlet or Vocabtest.
Memory posters (vocabulary):
Pretty much like mind-maps, only your students may work in groups to create their posters which is way cooler and more interactive – just have a look at Glogster or Mixbook. It may be a great idea for a project work as well!
Authentic word clouds (grammar):
Paste an authentic text into a word-cloud creator (e.g. Wordle) and give the word-clouds to students before reading, so that they have to connect the words into a coherent idea. After some time you may help them by writing a title of the text.
Coded message trail (reading):
It's like treasure hunt, only you create clues and use a QR code generator to code them. Next, you place the codes near the places you've chosen for a trail, make sure your students have their mobiles with a barcode-scanning app (at least one per group) – and enjoy one of the best activities, especially in the summer (in the city). You can find all instructions at QR Code Treasure Hunt.
Story Starters (writing):
I'm not going to describe the activity here, I'm simply going to leave a link to this magnificent activity and let you enjoy its endless possibilities (groupwork, homework, maybe a written composition for a test?).
Crazy tales (writing):
One of my most favourite activities – at least for my students – which I used to do myself. What you do is simply write random words in specific categories and then put them in a story creating a completely crazy, but usually hilarious, tale. I'm really happy I don't have to come up with them by myself anymore, now I can use MadTakes or Crazy Tales. Yay!
Translates to SMS (writing):
My students crave for natural English and translating "normal" English into a text message is not only educational, but also highly enjoyable. I used to bring handouts, but now I can use Transl8it.
Phonetics apps (pronunciation):
I've always found it most problematic to help my students with pronunciation development, I usually recommended Spelling Bee you can find at thefreedictionary.com, but there are some useful apps my students can use: Phonetics Focus by Cambridge, Sounds Right by British Council and my favourite Sounds by Macmillan.
But wait, there's more! No, seriously, there are loads of useful activities and if you're into technology I'm sure by now you're fairly convinced to get the book. But I guess the book is also for those teachers who don't feel comfortable with technology, aren't really sure what to do. I'm sure you'll find here something you like – like I have.
Enjoy reading and implementing Mr Stanley's ideas!

DJ Khaled has been a popular DJ, producer and artist for more than a decade, and has delivered some of the bigger summer anthems, R&B collaborations and guest features that the genre has seen over that span. However, it wasn't the millions of singles he's sold, or his widespread celebrity network that conferred Khaled–born Khaled Mohamed Khaled, so basically Khaled Khaled–this newfound level of fame. It was Snapchat. According to the new issue of Bloomberg Businessweek (on which Khaled is the cover subject), DJ Khaled averages 6 million views per Snapchat story, which is a ridiculously remarkable amount of traction. His absurd videos and photos about getting lost at sea on a jet ski, or his motivational shower speeches (that's not a metaphor, he literally delivers uplifting monologues as he lathers his beard with shampoo) have landed him homepage coverage on Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post and The New York Times, and that's just to name a few. The most recent bit of press may be his most impressive: an interview with Ellen Degeneres on Ellen.
Above, you can watch the clip, which finds Khaled giving the daytime talk show host a quick synopsis of his philosophies, his rise from small-town Miami DJ to being managed by Jay Z, and his superfluous positivity, which his recent run can be accredited to.

My season summed up in a Hashtag.
I started a new job promising me less hours but that didn't work out, after deciding to not work out the remainder of the winter a simple hashtag that I started using on instagram in June became the major motivation for my winter.
Now deep into the summer and getting jealous daily of whitebeard days from friends in Europe, Japan and North America I'm working hard and training harder to get myself in better shape for the coming winter in order to #splitmoreworkless
If you are an instagram user and follow us here at Splitboarding New Zealand on Instagram check out the hundreds of pics from the international splitboarding community using the tag #splitmoreworkless

Another fried chicken shop opened recently in Liverpool st. The displayed menus at the front of the shop looks so appealing that I decided to try the place out with bebski and Mr.P. I tried to look up online to check on their menu and nothing came up as it is really new. Not even a facebook page.
After much digging, I found that the menu is similar to the Red Pepper Club Chicken in Strathfield RSL. I might be wrong though :)
So we went on a Thursday night and the place was not too busy when we arrived. Their eftpos machine is not working yet and so we had to take out cash before ordering.
The waiter hardly speaks english so it was quite a struggle for us to order as Mr.P requested for the soup to be mild in spiciness.
I also spotted a different manner of eating in this restaurant. Usually the banchan is serve prior to any of the meal. Here, the banchan is serve along with the rice after one of our chicken dish came out. So we waited quite awhile before we can enjoy the side dishes.
It is also my first experience to have boiled eggs as one of the side dishes and also dried seaweeds which is quite oily. The fish cake does not impress me either, it is tough and almost tasteless. The taste of the kimch is like they have been taken out from the kimchi packed you can get from Korean store. But I love the soy beansprout :)
For the fried chicken, I ordered soy chicken and Black sesame Chicken. The Soy chicken came out first and after a bite of the dokbukki, we were wondering soy chicken got chilli pieces in it. It turned out that the chicken get switched. Luckily, we just had the dokbukki. Not long after that, the soy chicken came out. The soy sauce tasted like chinese herb medicine. Not really to our liking.. The picture below is of the spicy one. I forgot to take the soy chicken ones ;P
|Spicy chicken $17 (Medium)
|Black Sesame Chicken $17
|Seafood Hotpot $45

The triple-whammy of all of my classmates starting school today without me, talking to that lady about her health program yesterday and being over-tired enough to have reached that point where ideas sometimes seem more brilliant than they are has my wheels spinning.
When I start my senior year at Goddard in October, I'm going to need a senior study project. I fully intend on taking advantage of the six months I'm taking off to make sure I go to Vermont with a solid plan. Because dear senior study project, you are scary.

Let's Talk Picture Books, Part 6
It's important to know what to write to get a picture book contract, and it's just as important to know what NOT to write. Slice of life stories seldom get smiled upon by agents or editors, but they have become a little more popular after 9/11. When editors state that a manuscript is quiet or is a mood book, she means the story doesn't have enough tension. These stories are a glimpse into a character's life (slice of life). There is little action but the story makes the reader feel good. GOODNIGHT MOON is an example.
Mood or quiet stories are vignettes that involve a character in an activity with no conflict. Example: Billy goes for a ride on his bike. He sees a friend. They play a game of basketball. He rides to the ballgame and plays all afternoon. On his way home he meets his sister and gives her a ride on his bike. His day has been fun and now he's ready to settle in for the night.
One of my early submissions years ago was a slice-of-life story about a day in the life of a young girl. An editor wrote in the rejection letter that nothing was happening to interest or intrigue the reader. She said my story was "too quiet."
If you have written such a story, analyze it to discover a weakness or flaw in the character. In the example I gave, maybe the boy could have a fight with his friend, or maybe he could be afraid of the ball and his teammates blame him for losing the game. Within the story you just might find a hidden gem of a story waiting to unfold.
Call for Submissions for Young Writers:
Launch Pad. A bimonthly magazine dedicated to publishing fiction, nonfiction, poetry, book reviews, and artwork written and created by children ages 6-12.
Submission guidelines at http://www.launchpadmag.com/write/
Call for Submissions for Adult Writers:
Jack and Jill (Ages 7-12).
FICTION: We accept full manuscripts of 600-800 words. The tone of the stories should be fun and engaging. Stories should hook readers right from the get-go and pull them through the story. Humor is very important! Dialogue should be witty instead of just furthering the plot. The story should convey some kind of positive message. Possible themes could include self-reliance, being kind to others, appreciating other cultures, and so on. There are a million positive messages, so get creative! Kids can see preachy coming from a mile away, though, so please focus on telling a good story over teaching a lesson. The message—if there is one—should come organically from the story and not feel tacked on.
NONFICTION: We accept nonfiction manuscripts of 700 words or less. We are especially interested in features or Q&As with regular kids (or groups of kids) in the Jack and Jill age group who are engaged in unusual, challenging, or interesting activities. No celebrity pieces please.
POETRY: We accept poems of up to 30 lines. Poems should include unique topics that appeal to kids like sports, pets, friendship, seasonal activities, vacations, and school activities.
PUZZLES, ACTIVITIES & GAMES: In general, we prefer to use in-house generated material for this category but on occasion we do receive unique and fun puzzles, games or activities through submissions. Please make sure you are submitting a truly unique activity for our consideration.

Let's Talk Picture Books, Part 5
In earlier blogs, I have mentioned that editors did not often swoon when receiving submissions written in rhyme. Often, writers force the rhyme at the expense of the plot or add unnecessary words to keep the rhyme. Exceptions are always possible so just because it hasn't been done often doesn't mean it can't be done.
Stories about inanimate objects that come to life are difficult to write and difficult to nab a contract, also. Two train stories have become popular: THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD and THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE. THE GIVING TREE is also a classic about an inanimate object, but a book about a window that won't open or a rock that can't roll will probably not garner more than a rejection letter. Children want stories in which action impacts plot, where something happens. It is difficult to develop an inanimate object as the main character in a picture book. This works better in videos where sound and motion work together to build the character. THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT is also another example that inanimate objects can work, but it doesn't seem to happen often in the publishing world.
Dolls and toys as the main characters can work. Children relate to these, such as the VELVETEEN RABBIT. Dolls look like people and it's easy to imagine them become real.
What works best as main characters are children and animals, because a young child relates to both. By attributing human frailties to animals make them seem real. Kids identify with the characters' weaknesses and mistakes. Many popular picture books showcase imperfect characters that grow and learn. Engaging, humorous stories that inspire and can withstand multiple readings are always searched for by editors and agents.
Call for Submissions for Young and Adult Writers:

Kiki uses the college fashion design curriculum to tap into girls' creativity, including business, fine art, craft, history, world culture, math, and even chemistry.

Israel and Ishmael are the ancestors of two big nations. Judaism is from Israel and Islamism is from Ishmael.
Arabs and the Israelis have been fighting since time immemorial over that tiny plot of land called Israel. Their battle is not one of flesh and blood, but of spiritual things. The Bible states that the last great battle will pit Israel against the rest of the Middle East and its allies.
How did it all begin and why have they remained mortal enemies for thousands of years?

(Video originally recorded for IGTV but it Flopped- wrong size).
Everybody loves a Chinese takeaway, and for me salt and pepper wings used to be a must. Having gone mainly plant based I had to find an alternative dish with the same flavours and textures. Tofu is not for me, everyone keeps on telling me to try cooking it myself but I'm not there yet. I was never really fond of cauliflower but since going plant based I've realised just how versatile it is. One of my favourite plant based cheat meals is buffalo cauliflower wings, they are amazing and so simple to make. So I started experimenting with similar recipes, this chinese salt and pepper cauliflower is soon becoming a favourite and I love that it eradicates my hankering for a takeaway.
Serves 4
2 Heads of cauliflower
1 Cup plant based milk ( I use oat)
1 Cup Cooking Oil
½ Cup All purpose flour
½ Tsp Chinese 5 spice
¼ Tsp Chilli flakes
½ Tsp Salt
½ Tsp Pepper
2 Cloves Garlic
1 spring onion (just the green end)
2 Chillies
1 Tsp Fresh Ginger (chopped)
- Wash and chop cauliflower into 1-2 inch florets.
- Mix the flour, milk and spices together in a large bowl for form a batter.
- Dip the cauliflower into the batter and let it sit in the batter for 10 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on a medium heat.
- Gently place the florets into the hot oil one by one, fry them in small batches leaving space between them.
- Fry for 3 minutes rotating and turning each floret until evenly golden brown.
- Place the cooked cauliflower onto a paper napkin to drain any excess oil.
- Chop the garlic, ginger, spring onion and chillies. Then sautee them in a large pan on a high heat for 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked cauliflower to the pan and gently toss to coat with the garlic mixture.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then serve.
Typically I serve my salt and chilli cauliflower with rice and crunchy vegetables. My daughters love to eat it on it's own with a sweet chilli dipping sauce.

Open Development and the ASF
At Adobe we are working on adopting something we call Open Development.

Curating Communities in Open Development
Some of the key characteristics of an open development project have to do with things that are kind of like checkbox items, like having a code repository that everyone in the company can see, or having a project web page. Others are more nuanced and have to do with how the project behaves. But just like the checkbox items, if you don't do them your project isn't really open, no matter what else you might be doing that makes it appear open. ... Read more

2017 NCAA Bowl Game Picks
A few years ago I used to do these bowl game picks, and two years in a row I ended up picking the bowl game winners with over 70% accuracy.

This statement is circulated on behalf of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, the Association of Taxation Technicians, the Association of Accounting Technicians, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland and the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
The leading UK accountancy and tax bodies have published updated guidance on the standards expected of tax advisers and agents. The guidance has been endorsed by HMRC and sets out clear professional standards in relation to the facilitation and promotion of tax avoidance.
The guidance, formally known as Professional Conduct in Relation to Taxation (PCRT), has been in existence for over 20 years and is regularly updated. It sets out the high ethical standards which form the core of the tripartite relationship between tax adviser, client and HMRC. It supports the key role members play in helping clients comply with their tax obligations and their broader responsibilities to society. The guidance in the PCRT is based on five fundamental principles:
- Integrity
- Objectivity
- Professional competence and due care
- Confidentiality
- Professional behaviour
For this latest update, the professional bodies have strengthened the existing five fundamental principles by the addition of five new Standards for Tax Planning that members must observe. These include a standard which makes clear that members "must not create, encourage or promote tax planning arrangements or structures that (i) set out to achieve results that are contrary to the clear intention of Parliament in enacting relevant legislation, and/or (ii) are highly artificial or highly contrived and seek to exploit shortcomings within the relevant legislation." Such behaviours would lay a member of one of the bodies open to disciplinary action.
This addition to the PCRT responds to the Government's challenge to the professional bodies, made in March 2015, to take a greater lead in setting and enforcing clear professional standards around the facilitation and promotion of tax avoidance.
In a joint statement, the seven bodies said:
"PCRT has long set out professional and ethical standards which require more of the members of professional bodies than the letter of the law demands, and rightly so. Professionals owe a duty to the society in which they operate as well as to their clients. Our professional rules have long recognised this, for example in requiring the correction of HMRC errors. However, social expectations of behaviour in relation to tax planning have evolved significantly in recent years. Fundamental professional obligations to act with integrity and uphold the reputation of the profession and of clients would not be met if our rules did not also change to recognise this.
"We believe these new Standards for Tax Planning achieve an appropriate balance – making clear to the small minority of tax professionals who continue to facilitate and promote tax avoidance schemes that this behaviour is not acceptable, while enabling the vast majority of advisers to continue undertaking responsible tax planning for their clients to help ensure that they pay the right amount of tax as intended by law. We hope that those tax advisers and agents who are not members of the seven PCRT bodies will also commit themselves to following this code."
The Government has supported the publication of the updated PCRT. HMRC has also acknowledged that the updated guidance is an acceptable basis for dealings between members of the bodies and HMRC.
A copy of the guidance can be found at /professional-standards/professional-rules/professional-conduct-relation-taxation

I'll tell you what. For only three people, The Japanese House sounds like an entire world.
The British act, fronted by singer-guitarist Amber Bain, blasted a powerful, bracing wind into the South by Southwest Radio Day Stage on Wednesday, perfect for the spring weather currently treating Austin. (Incidentally, don't get used to that, visitors.)
Nature and the elements took root through the sumptuous electropop outfit's entire set, whether it was soft gazes in clean light mentioned on the rainforesty "Clean" or the "Face Like Thunder" that preoccupies Bain so much in the song of same name. For every tune about a stormy mug, a bass like thunder was felt. The Japanese House shook the stage with deep, overwhelming synth tones, countered by snippy cymbals. Babbling brook guitar lines refreshed the verses in "Cool Blue," which struck somewhere between First Aid Kit and The 1975 by way of comparisons.
When thinking of reference points for Bain's songs, though, the only name that popped in my head over and over was Imogen Heap (of "Garden State," "The O.C." and Jason Derulo sample fame). This wasn't a thought that hadn't occurred after already logging plenty of Spotify time with the Japanese House. Bain's magnified and distorted voice instantly and constantly recalled Heap's own loop-and-reverb style, and the use of vocal tracks as instrumentation lent to the feeling of mass on stage.
Nothing about the Japanese House was heavy, though. The were like the ocean: It's clear, it's purifying and it seems like it's everywhere.

I felt a little lighter as I bounced out of bed this morning. I hopped on the scale to see if I was just imagining things (after all, it was only 5 a.m. so it was quite possible I was still half-asleep). Much to my surprise, I weighed a full two pounds less than I did on Monday morning. Why does this excite me? Because I can officially say that you can look at my driver's license and not call me a liar!
While I was always so close, I haven't actually hit my "license" weight since I literally got my license. Losing weight isn't a huge concern of mine, but it's comforting to know that by feeding my body the right kinds of food, my weight regulates and falls to where it ideally should be. I'm more concerned with the overall muscle tone and strength of my body, so the two pound weight-loss wasn't a huge deal for me. But I'd be fibbing if I said it wasn't a little bit of extra motivation!
I started the day by teaching a 6 a.m. barre3 class. I love early morning classes. This is the time I would regularly go as a client and it sets my mood for the entire day. Strength, balance and a feeling of calm. I'll be heading into the studio again later this evening to get my actual workout in with Whitney. Isn't it just lovely?
Onto my meals for the day. I had two energy bites and the dreaded morning elixir before teaching. Before work I made myself a Butternut Squash and Cherries smoothie to go. I had a lot of leftover ingredients and it was delicious, so why not have it two days in a row? I pretended to be a master chef and made it without looking at the recipe. My first go around was way too watery. But the best thing about smoothies? If the taste is off, just throw it back in the blender, add a few more ingredients (cherries and another date), blend and voila! Good as new.
For lunch I went to Market 65 for a salad. This place is one of my favorites. All of their ingredients are local and you watch as they cut the fresh veggies for you. I watched them scoop out an avocado for me. This isn't a chain but if you work in the downtown Columbus-area I highly recommend checking it out. Today my salad consisted of a romaine/spinach mix, avocado, garbanzo beans, black beans, corn and lemon juice/olive oil as the dressing.
I felt a little light-headed yesterday halfway through the afternoon so in case that happens again, I bought a Bolthouse Farms Berry Boost Smoothie to keep on-hand. For dinner I'm going to be boring again and eat the last of my White Bean and Kale soup. I promise to branch out a little bit more tomorrow. I've heard good things about the Sneaky Greens smoothie and the Gingered Carrot soup so maybe those will be added to the menu.
If you have any awesome recipes for smoothies, soups or salads, send them my way. Otherwise, have a happy first day of spring!

The latest is Malibu, Calif. Before that came Seattle; Davis and San Luis Obispo, Calif.; and Miami Beach and Fort Myers, Fla.
They're all cities that have banned or limited the use of plastic straws in restaurants. Straws, routinely placed in glasses of water or soda, represent a small percentage of the plastic that's produced and consumed but often end up on beaches and in oceans.
Advocates said laws aimed at cutting back on the use of plastic straws can help spur more significant behavioral changes.
"I think a lot of people feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of the plastic problem," said Diana Lofflin, the founder of StrawFree.org, an activist organization based in San Diego. "Giving up plastic straws is a small step, and an easy thing for people to get started on. From there, we can move on to larger projects."
The City Council in Malibu voted on Monday to bar restaurants from giving out plastic straws, utensils and stirrers. Similar measures are being considered in other coastal cities, including Berkeley, Calif. A bevy of restaurants across the country have also voluntarily stopped providing straws.
It's not just happening in the United States. Scotland plans to be rid of plastic straws by 2019, and Taiwan is banning single-use plastic items, including straws, cups and shopping bags, by 2030.
Around the world, people have wrestled with the environmental effect of plastics, which do not naturally degrade and are frequently used once before settling in landfills, clogging storm drains or collecting in the ocean, often for long periods of time. Many countries have banned, limited or taxed the use of plastic bags.
[Read here how a 9-year-old boy's statistic shaped the debate on straws.]
Some of the leading organizations in the plastics industry have said they agree with the idea of reducing the use of straws, but have said laws are the wrong way to go about it. They haven't fought the laws with the same vigor they used to oppose bag bans.
The American Chemistry Council has taken a softer approach to straw bans than it did with bags, suggesting that restaurants provide straws only when a customer asks for one.
"We believe providing straws through an 'on-demand' system gives customers choice and helps prevent waste by ensuring that straws are distributed only to those who need them," Steve Russell, vice president of the organization's plastics division, said.
Scott DeFife, vice president of government affairs for the Plastics Industry Association, said in an interview that the problem of ocean debris was complex, stemming more from inadequate resources for waste management.
"We, as a nation, are not going to solve our marine debris issues by banning straws in restaurants," he said.
He said straws had become "the new poster child" for environmentalists.

March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb…but in between it can be hot, cold, wet, dry, and everything in between. These great blanketing options will ensure your horse is ready, whatever the weather.
Thermo Manager Stable Blanket
Made from unique Thermo Manager fabric, this blanket can do triple duty! Use it alone as a stable blanket, under your horse's turnout for added warmth on the coldest nights or as a new twist on the classic cooler for warming up and cooling down on chilly days.
600D Centaur Camelwatch Turnout
If your horse has been bundled up all winter, consider picking up a lightweight turnout. With no filling, your horse will still get completely waterproof protection from spring rain and mud, without overheating as the mercury starts to climb. For a fashion forward look, try new camelwatch plaid.
Rambo Optimo Turnout
Leave it to Horseware Ireland to reinvent the way we blanket our horses. This innovative new design lets you pair one 1000D outer shell with four separate liners (from 100 to 400 grams), letting you adjust the weight according to the weather. (400 gra liner included; other liners sold separately.)

Over 30,000 people visited the two-day annual flower show at Leisure Valley Park in Sector 29 on Saturday.gurgaon Updated: Mar 03, 2013 01:31 IST
Over 30,000 people visited the two-day annual flower show at Leisure Valley Park in Sector 29 on Saturday.
Area MLA Rao Dharampal and Haryana Urban Development Authority (Huda) administrator Praveen Kumar inaugurated the flower show where a cultural function was also put up by children.
According to a Huda official, more than 150 varieties of flowers are on display with over 100 participants from across the state.
Pleasant weather on Saturday drew residents from their homes in hordes and heavy footfall is expected on Sunday as well.
A six-judge panel of retired and working senior officials of the horticulture departments of CPWD, DDA and Huda distributed the awards to winners.
"The Huda Challenge Cup in the individual category won by city resident Dr Ranjan Aggarwal and in the industry category, Kunskapsskolan School at DLF-1 picked up the award. Madhu Malik, also from Gurgaon, won the prize for the best terrace garden," said a senior Huda official, adding that there were as many as seven categories of awards.
Several events by professional artistes are lined up for Sunday, the last day of the show.
"Huda has been organising the flower show since 1990 and the number of participants has increased every year," added an official.
"We have various categories such as cut flowers, potted flowers, gardening, terrace garden, hanging garden among others," he added.

It is always interesting to watch little kids take the first taste of new foods. Their faces are so honest. Tonight Zaka had his first fresh cherry. He ate the pit and spit out the fruit. It was funny to watch. He has decided against cherries.
Only two years and already he has very definite likes and dislikes. Most green foods are not fit to be eaten – "no want" is his pronouncement. And even without the words, one look at the turned up nose and the face full of disgust tells the true opinion.

Common HVAC Problems Most Owners Run Into
Keeping your HVAC system in top form involves keeping an eye out for signs of trouble. Here are a few of the most common problems you'll probably run into, sooner or later:
Little to zero maintenance
Regular maintenance checks can keep a lot of AC problems and issues at bay. Put this on your schedule so you won't miss one.
Wrong hire
It would be best to call for a heating and air conditioning service in Jacksonville to take care of the problem for you. Be sure to choose a NATE licensed service contractor to fix any of your HVAC problems. Don't hire anyone without properly checking their background and credentials. Ask for proof from their insurance provider to verify if they're insured or not.
Dirty filters
There are parts and components of your HVAC system that need to be replaced regularly and one of these includes your air filters. If these are clogged with dirt and debris, they're going to generate poor airflow. Prevent that from happening by having those dirty filters replaced regularly.
Dirty coils
These could be why your AC settings seem to be on the blink. You'll want to have those dirty coils cleaned up. If they happen to freeze, you'll need to turn off the AC, let it unfreeze for a few hours and clean it before you restart the unit, says SF Homeguides.
Mechanical wear and tear
Wear and tear is normal. Your AC will wear out a number of its mechanical parts and components over time. These includes parts like belts and bearings. You'll need to have these regularly replaced so you won't end up dealing with poor heating and overheating issues. This could also compromise your unit's airflow. By replacing worn-out and stretched belts, your unit will last you longer. Be sure to hire a heating and air conditioning expert in Jacksonville to help you.

The best walk in Newcastle
by Paul on Aug.21, 2009, under Walking
I have been getting out for quite a bit of walking in recent times and I have found what I believe is the best walk in all of Newcastle.
The walk from Nobbys Surf Club along Nobbys Beach, the Southern Breeakwater and back to Nobby's Surf Club. A easy stroll at just over 3 km on flat ground with a good path the whole way. It is only made slightly tougher if you choose to go out and/or back on the beach.
Follow this link for the route map on runkeeper: http://runkeeper.com/user/austpaul/activity/1584862
It has also been the source of some of my best photo's including this small selection:
Rainbow over Newcastle Habour
by Paul on Mar.03, 2009, under Photography
I have been lucky enough to spend the last five years working in and around Newcastle Harbour.
The scene captured in this photo is the beauty that greeted me one stormy afternoon as I left work on Dyke Point (a point of land that juts right out into the centre of the harbour).
The view is looking along the Eastern edge of Dyke Point towards the city with Christ Church Cathedral silhouetted against the skyline.
The map below shows shows the approximate location from which the photo was taken:
Rugby Union in Newcastle, Waratahs verses Fiji
by Paul on Feb.07, 2009, under Photography
New South Wales Waratahs played Fiji in a trial game in Newcastle last Friday night (30/1/09). Not the highest standard game with many passes going to ground (not surprising I suppose for a trial) but still great to have professional standard rugby union in Newcastle. The final score was Waratahs 60 to Fiji 0 (Zero).
Here are some photos I took during the game, for the full gallery visit Waratahs vs Fiji gallery.
Photo of the Month – August 2008

Happy New Year 2018
Happy New Year, or I should say Blwyddyn Newydd Dda as I am in Wales. 2018 has arrived. Do you look forward to the New Year? Do you take the optimistic view and wonder what 2018 has in store for you, what opportunities lie ahead, what new adventures will you have? Or the pessimistic line and dread what the new year will bring, what difficulties will there be, will you face challenges ahead? Or perhaps you are like me, and fluctuate between the two.
January is associated with Janus, a god in ancient Roman mythology. He is the god of beginnings and transitions and is usually depicted with two faces as he looks to the future and to the past. January 1st is the first day of the year on the modern Gregorian calendar. Amongst the first places to welcome in the New Year are Tonga, Samoa and Kiritimati or Christmas Island. Whilst the last few include American Samoa and Baker Island. I assume in the UK we must be somewhere near the middle.
In medieval times the first of January was linked to a superstition about prosperity in the coming year. In farmyards everywhere a flat cake was put on the horns of a cow, the farmer and farm workers would then sing and dance around the cow until the cake fell. If it landed in front of the cow it was good luck but if it fell behind it was bad luck. This custom appears to have died out, I cannot understand why!
Don't forget to celebrate Winnie the Pooh day on the 18th January, his creator A.A. Milne was born on this day in 1882. Also National Storytelling Week begins on the 27th January.
Finally have you made any New Year's Resolutions this year? I always think I should, to give me something to strive for, but if I choose the ones like eating healthier and doing more exercise I'm just setting myself up for failure...again. So this year I'm choosing something that should be enjoyable and achievable, my New Year's Resolution for 2018 is.... to read more books!

Shame in Recovery
a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.
"she was hot with shame"
humiliation, mortification, chagrin, ignominy, loss of face, shamefacedness, embarrassment, indignity, abashment, discomfort, discomfiture, discomposure
Hi, it's Dermot again. If you read my last blog from 10th May, you will know that this is a follow up to that blog and part of a "Recovery from Addiction Series", If not read on:
Shame in early recovery can be extremely paralyzing as suddenly without the cover of your drug of choice or alcohol you are raw. People feel humiliated having to acknowledge or admit that are alcoholic, they don't want to be seen at AA meetings or have anything to do with other people in recovery. AA covers this by promoting anonymity & confidentiality. This is to protect people and also make it more attractive for people to join.
Shame though is just a form of pride, and you've heard the saying: "Pride Goes Before A Fall", thus to maintain your recovery you have to process and let go of your shame.
An example of the insanity of shame in recovery is people who are mortified for anyone to know they are in recovery, but thought nothing about falling about the place in a drunken stupor, for all to see.
Shame and addiction
Shame is deep-rooted, and not always our fault, unlike Guilt, which takes an action from us.
Shame and Addiction go hand in hand.
Where one leads the other must follow.
Both exist behind the wall of Denial.
Not to be exposed
Shame hides behind Masks, just as addiction does.
Hidden by what it is not:
- Rage.
- Indifference.
- Need to Control.
- Depression.
- Obsession.
- Panic.
- Flight.
Without chemicals
We are very vulnerable in early recovery if we don't begin to deal with our Shame.
Getting back to basics.
Facing our own Fears.
If we don't deal with our Shame, we will drink or use again.
Living Death
Irrational Beliefs that appear very real.
The Vicious Circle.
Self Rejection.
Giving up Control.
Combating shame
Get a sponsor.
Do a step one.
Continued therapy.
Shame & Spirituality
You cannot find a Spiritual awakening if you have shame.
Has God Forgotten Us?
Do we trust God?
Am I alone.
Be gentle with yourself.
*I am a Child of God and I deserve Love, Peace, Serenity, and Prosperity.
*I am Loved because I deserve Love.
*I forgive myself for hurting myself and others.
*I forgive myself for letting others hurt me.
*I forgive myself for accepting sex when I wanted to love.
*I am willing to accept Love.
*I am not alone, I am one with God and the Universe.
*I am whole and good.
*I am innocent and totally deserving of love unconditionally.
*I am capable of changing.
*Just for Today, I will respect my own and others' boundaries.
*Just for Today, I will be vulnerable with someone I trust.
*Just for Today, I will take one compliment and hold it in my heart for more than just a fleeting moment. I will let someone nurture me.
*Just for Today, I will act in a way that I would admire in someone else.

Recovery is about growth and everyone does grow at a different pace. My advice to anyone in early recovery is to wait at least 2 years before making any major life-changing decisions that might have emotional ramifications. An example: get a mortgage, get married, change career, emigrate. In light of this everyone has dreams and we all do want to better our lives in one way or another, so it is important in early recovery to start to put those dreams into reality by creating achievable goals which can be reached in time. I found in my early recovery, although I had dreams, I wasn't aware of creating goals and my life unfolded by default. It turned out well for me but had I had clear goals, I do feel that it would have been even better.
I do try to learn from my mistakes, and that is why they are little miracles in themselves that happen for a reason. I am a growth-seeking being I will continue to seek change in myself. What motivates me is the Pain – Pleasure, which moves me away from my pain points (a lack of finances, time & peace of mind) to my pleasure points (freedom of finances, time & peace of mind). The way I have found to achieve this freedom and to move away from the "Groundhog Day" of life is through online marketing. I have taken this step into the abyss, I'm not tech savvy at all, and with the support of SFM, I am working my way through it. The internet is here to stay and is the future for all of us, so don't get left behind because it is gaining momentum. If you want to learn what I am learning and are in a point in your life where you want to change, then I offer you, through my mentors, a no obligation FREE 7-day video series to watch.

Mr Patel received many awards; for one of them you see illustrated what the award looks like. This award was missing in the Wikipedia article. Another award, the Chalmers Medal by the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, was mentioned but there is no information about other award winners.
Other awards for this society had their own item but no enrichment had taken place. They are now at least linked and award winners with a Wikipedia article are now also linked.
Linking people through awards, through their employers, their education provides an entry point to a subject like "Tropical Medicine and Hygiene". When this is a subject that matters to you, Mr Patel is the first one listed to have received the Chalmers award; this award started in 1923 so you can add all of them to Wikidata or write Wikipedia articles to these notable people.
When you consider notability, would it not be an argument to use against the Wikipedia deletionists when there is plenty of information at Wikidata?

New from Uncle Sam: a passport that fits in your wallet
For Americans who travel a lot across borders by land or sea, say to Canada, Mexico, or on Caribbean cruises, the State Department is now issuing zippy little Passport Cards, which are sized for wallets and contain the mandated (and controversial) RFID chip that makes crossing borders much breezier.
Makes sense to me. Booklet-size passports are vestiges of an earlier age, back when we traveled with steamer trunks and dollar notes were as big as hankies. Passports are also easy to lose, partly because they don't fit in wallets and partly because crooks can easily spot them. Having a high-level federal I.D. in your wallet at all times can also be mighty handy. Bouncers and postal clerks may quibble over accepting that gym membership card, but it's hard to argue with a passport.
According to the U.S. Department of State, you use the same supporting I.D. documentation for apply for a passport card as you do for a traditional passport, which means once you've got one, you're vetted, and you can use it to apply for a booklet passport later on if you want. You can even apply for both the booklet and the card at the same time without having to pay an extra execution fee or send more photos (just two will do the trick for both).
The downside is that you can't use the passport card to travel by air, mostly because so many countries are used to passport booklets. But for many routine crossings, a card will be enough and easier to keep track of. I'm sure just about everyone in Detroit will have one by the time the year is out. Passport Cards are also a good start for smoother worldwide travel.
If you've never had a passport of any kind before, the card costs $45 ($35 for kids), but if you have a passport issued within the past 15 years, it's just $20. If you've never had a passport at all (don't be ashamed; Sarah Palin got her first one just last year, which is admittedly unusual for someone vying for a top federal position with international responsibilities), I strongly suggest having one on hand for spontaneous travel. Besides, having one is now required for entry to nearly every country you can think of. The new Passport Cards began production on July 14.

Even at low ebb and in the midst of past slowdowns, GE Transportation has remained Erie County's largest employer year after year.
That continues to be the case, according to the most recent list of Erie County's top 50 employers, compiled by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry.
And, as usual, Meadville Medical Center ranked as Crawford County's largest employer.
But for all that hasn't changed, a look back 10 years and even further to the first top 50 list compiled in 1986 shows some surprising shifts among our largest employers.
Consider, for instance, that Erie County's third- and sixth-largest employers in 1986, Hammermill Paper Co. and American Sterilizer Co., are both gone.
What's more, Zurn Industries, the 11th-largest employer on the 1986 list, no longer cracks the top 50.
Inside Erie's business community, there has been talk in recent years about the rising importance of education and medicine as employment sectors.
Top employer charts going back 27 years, however, speak to the continued importance of hospitals as employers. Hamot and Saint Vincent ranked among Erie's top five employers in 1986 and still do today.
While the former Metro Health Center fell off the list entirely, Millcreek Community Hospital climbed from No. 40 to No. 25.
Meanwhile, the status of local colleges as employers has continued to grow.
Gannon and Mercyhurst universities and Penn State Behrend rank among Erie County's 22 largest employers. In 1986, only Gannon made the top 50.
Edinboro University employs 769 people but does not make the list because its workers are classified more broadly as employees of the state, Erie County's fifth-largest employer.
In another noteworthy change, banks no longer rank high on the list of large employers. In 1986, two banks, First National and Marine Bank, ranked among Erie's County's 22 largest employers. And in another sign of the times, manufacturers accounted for four of Erie County's 10 largest employers in 1986. Today, only GE Transportation remains in that top 10.

Step 1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Chop potatoes and sweet potatoes and place on a baking tray. Spray with oil.
Step 2 Make several sharp incisions down the lamb and place between 2 sheets of baking paper. Flatten lamb with a rolling pin, until it has doubled in size.
Step 3 Sprinkle basil, garlic, pine nuts, dates and cranberries over one side of the lamb.
Step 4 Roll up and secure with string. Cook potatoes and lamb for 45 minutes, until juices run clear. Rest meat for several minutes, slice and serve with steamed vegetables.
Love roasted garlic? It's easy to make! Simply place whole unpeeled bulbs in an ovenproof dish and spray with cooking oil. Cook in a preheated oven for 30 minutes, until golden brown. The garlic will be soft and can be served with the roast of your choice.
