SCAM Sites (Avoid these! You can tell they are a scam just by looking at the shoddy websites and the almost 10 year old obsolete "Samples" they offer on their sites!):
The worst places supposedly offering ID are a network of various scam sites connected to or run by 'underground-review', 'fakeidreview' and ukfakeidreview. These include myoids.com, 21overnight, dofake, uk-id, makefakeidclub, and most of the sites listed at underground-review.com. These sites are run by a Russian fraudster with shady payment links mainly via western union wire transfers to places like Pakistan and Cyprus. This fraudster pays other criminals a portion to collect your hard earned money and return nothing to you. These sites either don't even say where they are based, and have no physical mailing address, or if they do it is somewhere half way around the world from which they have no desire to send you your fake ID card as expected. Underground review and all of the sites 'reviewed' on it are all scams owned and run by underground-review -- and they will not make you a fake ID or send you anything at all. A Big Waste Of Money. Avoid!

The Black Cat (1934, dir. Edgar Ulmer)
Werner Fuetterer as the Archangel in Faust (1926, dir. F. W. Murnau)
"I think Murnau's imperturbable calm in the studio was due not only to a sense of discipline, but also because he possessed that passion for 'play' itself which is necessary and essential to any kind of artistic activity.
For instance, I'd made a steam apparatus for the heaven scene in the Prologue to Faust. Steam was ejected out of several pipes against a background of clouds; arc-lights arranged in a circle lit up the steam to look like rays of light. The archangel was supposed to stand in front and raise his flaming sword. We did it several times, and each time it was perfectly all right, but Murnau was so caught up in the pleasure of doing it that he forgot all about time. The steam had to keep on billowing through the beams of light until the archangel — Werner Fuetterer — was so exhausted he could no longer lift his sword. When Murnau realized what had happened, he shook his head and laughed at himself, then gave everyone a break."
–Faust art director Robert Herlth, quoted in Lotte Eisner's Murnau. The scene Herlth is discussing is online here.
Margaret Hamilton in publicity still for The Wizard of Oz (1939, dir. Victor Fleming) (photo by Virgil Apger)
"I was in a need of money at the time, and my agent called. I said, 'Yes?' and he said 'Maggie, they want you to play a part on the Wizard.' I said to myself, 'Oh Boy, The Wizard of Oz! That has been my favorite book since I was four.' And I asked him what part, and he said 'The Witch' and I said 'The Witch?!' and he said 'What else?'"

TranzAlpine Train
Some of the luckiest people in the world must be the train drivers on the TranzAlpine train. Every day a spectacle of majestic scenery beyond comparison.
1 / 3
Having done the TranzAlpine train journey many times, I totally appreciate how thrilling it must be for the train drivers on this most amazing trip. Every single day Mother Nature takes centre stage, showing off the vast Canterbury Plains with ruler-straight farm fencelines, classic rolling green hills, bustling rural towns of Darfield and Springfield, and the most imposing row of snow-capped mountains in New Zealand.
There is no doubt the extraordinary scenery speaks for itself, but on board the TranzAlpine train you have the added bonus of a live, informative commentary as various stunning points of interest glide past. It doesn't matter which way you are facing, the brilliant vistas are amazing from every angle and, of course, the wide panoramic windows ensure the impressive landscapes are enjoyed to the max.
Deep gorges and high viaducts, braided rivers and looming tunnels, native beech forest and majestic mountain peaks all combine to make every turn in the tracks a magical drama. The alpine village of Arthurs Pass, with its cheeky kea birds (alpine parrots), makes a very picturesque lunch stop en route.
With a little planning, the TranzAlpine train journey from Christchurch to Greymouth (or reverse) can be integrated into a New Zealand itinerary. It takes half a day (Christchurch/Greymouth 0815/1245 or Greymouth/Christchurch 1345/1805). Even if you are self driving, some rental car operators allow pick up or drop off of their vehicles at Greymouth Railway Station, making the train/car transition (or vice versa) super easy.
In response to popular demand we have included the TranzAlpine into one of our KiwiCombo Pass self drive itineraries. This 9 day Southern Circle route now allows drop off of the rental car at Greymouth, with the TranzAlpine train comprising the last leg of the itinerary to Christchurch.
Also, a number of escorted tours either include the TranzAlpine train in their itineraries, or offer it as an option. This 10 day Classic Southern Panorama escorted tour offers Greymouth to Christchurch as an option and makes a spectacular finale to the trip.
Either way, it's a winner!

There are several principal patterns in dependency injection, the most common of which is constructor injection. A less common but useful pattern is method injection, which I discuss in this article. When a dependency can vary with each method call, you can supply it via a method parameter, which is the basis of method injection.
Figure 1: A Client creates an instance of SomeClass, but first injects an instance of the dependency ISomeInterface with each method call.
How It Works
The caller supplies the dependency as a method parameter in each method call. It can be as simple as this method signature:
public void DoStuff(ISomeInterface dependency)
Often, the dependency will represent some sort of context for an operation that's supplied alongside a "proper" value:
public string DoStuff(SomeValue value, ISomeContext context)
In this case, the
value parameter represents the value on which the method is supposed to operate, whereas the context contains information about the current context of the operation. The caller supplies the dependency to the method, and the method uses or ignores the dependency as it best suits it.
If the service uses the dependency, it should be sure to test for null references first, as shown in the following code.
public string DoStuff(SomeValue value, ISomeContext context) { if (context == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException("context"); } return context.Name; }
The guard clause guarantees that the context is available to the rest of the method body. In this example, the method uses the context's name to return a value.
If a method doesn't use the supplied dependency, it doesn't need to contain a guard clause. This sounds like a strange situation, but you may need to keep it if the method is part of an interface implementation.
When To Use Method Injection
Method injection is best used when the dependency can vary with each method call. This can be the case when the dependency itself represents a value, but is often seen when the caller wishes to provide the consumer with information about the context in which the operation is being invoked.
This is often the case in add-in scenarios where an add-in is provided with information about the runtime context via a method parameter. In such cases, the add-in is required to implement an interface that defines the injecting methods.
Imagine an add-in interface with this structure:
public interface IAddIn { string DoStuff(SomeValue value, ISomeContext context); }
Any class implementing this interface can be used as an add-in. Some classes may not care about the context at all, whereas other implementations will. A client may use a list of add-ins by calling each with a value and a context to return an aggregated result:
public SomeValue DoStuff(SomeValue value) { if (value == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException("value"); } var returnValue = new SomeValue(); returnValue.Message = value.Message; foreach (var addIn in this.addIns) { returnValue.Message = addIn.DoStuff(returnValue, this.context); } return returnValue; }
The private
addIns field is a list of
IAddIn instances, which allows the client to loop through the list to invoke each add-in's
DoStuff method. Each time the
DoStuff method is invoked on an add-in, the operation's context represented by the context field is passed as a method parameter.
Method injection is closely related to the use of Abstract Factories. Any Abstract Factory that takes an abstraction as input can be viewed as a variation of method injection.
At times, the value and the operational context are encapsulated in a single abstraction that works as a combination of both. Method injection is different from other types of dependency-injection patterns in that the injection doesn't happen in a composition root, but rather, dynamically at invocation time. This allows the caller to provide operation-specific context, which is a common extensibility mechanism used in the .NET BCL.
Known Use
The .NET BCL provides many examples of method injection, particularly in the
System.ComponentModel namespace.
System.ComponentModel.Design.IDesigner is used for implementing custom design-time functionality for components. It has an
Initialize method that takes an
IComponent instance so that it knows which component it's currently helping to design. Designers are created by
IDesignerHost implementations that also take
IComponent instances as parameters to create designers:
IDesigner GetDesigner(IComponent component);
This is a good example of a scenario where the parameter itself carries information: The component may carry information about which
IDesigner to create, but at the same time, it's also the component upon which the designer must subsequently operate.
Another example in the
System.ComponentModel namespace is the
TypeConverter class. Several of its methods take an instance of
ITypeDescriptorContext that, as the name says, conveys information about the context of the current operation. Because there are many such methods, I won't list them all, but here is a representative example:
public virtual object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType)
In this method, the context of the operation is communicated explicitly by the context parameter, while the value to be converted and the destination type are sent as separate parameters. Implementers can use or ignore the context parameter as they see fit.
ASP.NET MVC also contains several examples of method injection. The
IModelBinder interface can be used to convert HTTP
GET or
POST data into strongly typed objects. Its only method is:
object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext);
In the
BindModel method, the
controllerContext parameter contains information about the operation's context (among other things, the
HttpContext), whereas the
bindingContext carries more explicit information about the values received from the browser.
If you're building a framework, method injection can often be useful, because it allows you to pass information about the context to add-ins to the framework. That's one reason why we see method injection used so prolifically in the BCL.

AMERICAN IDIOT Rocks Chrysler Hall in 2013, 1/25-26
Chrysler Hall is set to welcome the AMERICAN IDIOT national tour this upcoming winter, the punk rock adaptation of Green Day's conceptual album of the same name, from tonight, January 25 and tomorrow night, January 26th.
AMERICAN IDIOT is a one-act, sung-through stage musical that infuses traditional story telling with the steampunk, electro-explosive music of Green Day. Centered around three friends, Johnny, Will, and Tunny, the show displays the stifling atmosphere of suburbia and their parents' restrictions. Turning to the urban jungle, the friends attempt to find the vibrancy of life - and the methods to get through it unscathed.
As previously reported by BroadwayWorld, the show's cast has recently been revamped, now including Alex Nee as Johnny, along with Thomas Hettrick as Tunny, Casey O'Farrell as Will, Alyssa DiPalma as Whatsername, Jenna Rubaii as The Extraordinary Girl, Kennedy Caughell as Heather and Trent Saunders as St. Jimmy.
AMERICAN IDIOT will also feature ensemble members Aurie Ceylon, Carson Higgins, Antwaun Holley, Daniel C. Jackson, Brandon Kalm, John Krause, Alison Morooney, Turner Rouse, Jr., Jamal Shuriah, Dustin Harris Smith, Ashley Tobias, Chelsea Turbin and Jared Young.
AMERICAN IDIOT was nominated in 2010 for three Tony Awards, including best musical. The show closed on Broadway in April 2011, and subsequently launched the first U.S. national tour, which is scheduled to travel throughout the rest of 2012 and into 2013.
For more information on the national tour of AMERICAN IDIOT, visit www.americanidiotthemusical.com.

Only 1 percent of workforce is screwing up at any given moment, president estimates.
President Obama declared Thursday that 99 percent of federal employees are not boneheads.
"Are there some federal workers who do some boneheaded things? Absolutely," Obama said at a town hall meeting in Minneapolis, Politico reported.
The president recalled something that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates told him: "One thing you should know, Mr. President, is that at any given moment on any given day, somebody in the federal government is screwing up." That, said Obama, is "is true because there are 2 million employees … If 99 percent of the folks are doing the right thing and only 1 percent aren't, that's still a lot of people."
Gates' remarks clearly made an impression on Obama. In Sept. 2012, he also noted publicly that "at any moment in the federal government, there will be people who do dumb things."
The 1 percent principle of boneheadedness probably puts the federal government on par with any other large organization. Of course, it also means that at any particular point in time, in some corner of government, somebody is doing something like pooping in the hallway.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Burky F.
Wednesday, October 24, 2012
By: Donna F.
That morning, I slept later than usual. When I did get up, I realized something wasn't right. I found Burk on the floor downstairs, unable to talk or move. He had fallen and was kicking for help, unable to scream. I waited for the ambulance, after calling 911. It seemed like an eternity before they would arrive to help Burk, to help me. He wasn't answering us and a white foam was coming from his mouth.
Everything changed that day. The massive stroke left him unable to move his right side and unable to speak. I thought we could adjust, one way or another. It would not be easy, but with time and therapy I believed Burk could do as much or more than anyone. He was a tough guy. He fought to live in intensive care, when they moved him to a regular room, to rehab and back to intensive care. He fought when he was at the acute care, trying to become strong enough to go back to rehab. He struggled in Shepherd's ABI unit and while an outpatient at Shepherd Pathways and all the other rehab centers. I learned from the physical and occupational therapists, from the physiatrists, the case managers and the nurses and assistants.
Still, there was no way I could prepare or understand Burk's personality changes. He was a more cautious guy than before. Instead of the carefree one who made me laugh, everything was more measured, always challenging, sometimes fearful. I could see how difficult it was for him to be comfortable when he laughed at sad things and cried for no reason at all. At times, he laughed, cried and had angry outbursts with no warning. Something seemingly small would upset him and he would be obsessed for days. He didn't know what was happening. He didn't know this was part of his stroke.
Always emotional myself, I actually didn't mind that my husband was showing his feelings at times. It just didn't make any sense that he was laughing and crying and getting upset at the wrong things, the wrong times. I was afraid of him sometimes. At home, I tried not to provoke him so he would not get so angry with himself for being unable to control his emotions, the laughter and crying and outbursts that would come at the strangest times. Burk confessed he couldn't do anything about it, that it upset him to be out of control. Emotional lability was one more challenge to face at a time when he was unable to speak or stand and afraid to face the world. I remember him trying to learn to crawl. He looked up and asked how those babies did it. I was the one laughing then, but Burk was very, very serious. Nothing was easy.
We eventually learned about emotional lability, little by little. Beside the feeding tube and the meds and the wheel chair, the sliding board to get him in and out of the car and all the other gear we accumulated, we learned to deal with outward signs of emotions that were new to both of us.
I say us because the stroke impacted not only my husband, but our family and our friends. There was so much to learn, so much to do at a time we were exhausted and afraid. Friends wanted to help but we didn't understand enough to explain back then.
The emotional lability seemed like a cruel joke. There were new feelings that we wanted to hide as much as the crying and the laughter and outbursts. I didn't believe that we were lying when we told people we were fine. We were grateful every day, but the exhaustion couldn't be hidden. There were times Burk just couldn't do the things he needed to do to get better. There were times I just couldn't deal with the doctors and meds, the therapists and the equipment, the transportation struggles.
We had to face the truth. Burk could not control his emotions and I, who had always shown mine, was afraid to cry, afraid if I started to cry I wouldn't be able to stop. We were living in a new world and had to acquire new understanding, new skills.
After almost 11 years, Burk is doing most everything for himself. He is confident and eager to see friends or go out to a favorite restaurant. While he has more control of his emotions, there are still times when the tears and laughter come at inappropriate times. Understanding that emotional lability is a real problem and not uncommon helps him deal with it. We are thankful for those who understand and try to explain the situation to those who don't.
One of the uninvited legacies of many strokes is the inability to control emotion. This can result in embarrassing events.My most regrettable event was listening to my best friend speak at a high-school reunion. I was so proud of him. Without attending our Naval Academy, Skip had become a four-star Admiral. I was filled with admiration and pride. But I could not control my crying.
This happened to me over and over. I could have won a lottery, be extremely happy, and I would cry uncontrollably. At the time, I was in a wheelchair. Most people ignored my sobbing. But I was totally embarrassed.You see, I had been a good high-school football player. Crying was considered a sign of weakness. Even at home, I seldom saw my mother cry. I never saw my dad or his brother's cry. It was a sign of weakness. I did not ask for this double legacy. It has brought multiple consequences. That was the legacy I inherited.
With stroke survivors, most people easily can see that one side no longer works. What they cannot see often can be more of a problem. I have had countless rounds of speech, physical and occupational therapy in over ten hospitals. Not once have I seen the offer of emotional help. It just is not SOP. But emotional adjustment to my new limitations was my highest hurdle.In the 11 years since my big stroke, I have learned that crying is not a sign of weakness in stroke survivors, but a sign of extreme emotion-- either positive or negative. In my case, it has gotten better with time.I learned that crying is not one bit unusual. It is normal. I have every reason to cry. I've learned that the inappropriate crying and laughter is going away as my body heals.BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATIONPRE STROKE
Was an All-City Football Player at CHS in Chattanooga, Tennessee; traveled several times to Europe -- including Paris, Rome, Zermatt, Kitzbuhl, Venice, & Munich; held several positions in advertising agencies including responsibility for all direct-response advertising and for all research; moderated many focus groups (even one about stroke for the state health department);
Exec V.P.; had fun working for Six Flags; am the father of one son (who travels the globe to speak about astrophysics); Have been married to Donna for 43 years.
POST-STROKEHad a massive stroke about 11 years ago (was given up for dead by the hospital staff). Traveled from California to Boston to see family and friends (not easy on those old streets). Traveled for therapy to Augusta, GA for Bioness Training, to Charlotte, NC for Myomo training, to Chattanooga for weekly e-stem swallowing therapy. Currently continue with my PT, walk with a cane and take public transportation to the gym where I work.

To witness and photograph these winged visitors from far-off countries, four friends recently started at 4 a.m. and travelled 400 kms by road into the hinterland of the Great Indian Desert. Equipped with an array of cameras and binoculars we reached in time to see a flock of beautiful demoiselle cranes gliding into the dry grasslands of Tal Chappar in Churu district. Situated in North-Western Rajasthan, the small but isolated sanctuary lies strategically on the migratory passage route of scores of birds. The most spectacular migration seen here is that of raptors especially the harriers. These spectacular birds of prey pass through this area during the month of September and October. Montagu's and Marsh Harrier are more common, while Pallid Harrier and Hen Harriers are found in lesser numbers. Many migratory birds including the dainty demoiselle cranes will stay here until March mulling over the variety of menu spread across the pristine grasslands.
Tal Chappar wildlife sanctuary is basically a flat terrain with huge grassland looking like one outsized manicured lawn from a distance. Obviously the seasonal monsoons cajole growth of lush grass that slowly turn golden as it matures over a period, bearing billions of seeds. The height of the grass is just about three feet and harbours enormous number of insects thriving on the meadow. Insects attract a large number of small predatory creatures like the lizards, reptiles and rodents and these in turn lure numerous hungry birds. Grass seeds also are first-rate fodder for smaller birds like a variety of doves, pigeons, larks and pipits. Even the ostrich-like great Indian bustard, a very rare bird came visiting in 2009 for the first time at Tal Chappar and is regarded as significant occurrence.

Gluten Free Italy: A Celiac's guide to Umbria
I know, this seems to come out of left field. But I've been meaning to pull together a quick travel resource for celiacs travelling to Umbria for awhile…not because I have a gluten intollerance, but because we have a strangely disproportionate number of celiac guests. This for two reasons: 1) celiacs tend to stay in self-catering accommodations where they have access to their own kitchen and 2) Shauna Ahern, aka star celiac blogger and cookbook author, stayed with us a couple years back during her honeymoon (just for the record, she and new hubby were the cutest little piccioncini—lovebirds—and are now parents) and we've had many of her readers as guests.
Let me preface this by saying that though Italy is often associated with pizza and pasta, it is–somewhat counterintuitively—one of the best gluten free countries in the world. There is a very high awareness of celiac disease here, children are routinely screened for it, and celiacs get a state subsidy for the cost of their gluten free foods. People who follow a gluten free diet will find that most chefs and waiters are matter-of-factly familiar with celiac disease, and Italian food manufacturers produce some of the best gluten free food (which is readily found in larger supermarkets). In restaurants and bars, I have come across gluten-free croissants, pasta, beer, pizza, and gelato.
All this to say that I'm not being a hero. Not a lot of sleuthing had to go into this, just a bit of organization (and some translating).
Gluten Free Travel Resources for Italy
The sine qua non to tripping through Italy gluten-free is Maria Ann Roglieri's The Gluten-Free Guide to Italy. The downside is that—like all printed guides—the restaurant information can go quickly out of date. However, there is an extensive glossary and sample questions to ask restaurant staff, and many of the suggestions are still valid (the latest edition is from 2009).
For a more updated guide to regional restaurants, bars, pizzerie, and gelaterie which offer gluten free options, you can check the Italian Celiac Association's website. It's not translated into English, but you can choose a category from the list at the left (example: Ristorante) and then the region (Umbria) from the drop down menu at the bottom. From there, you get a list with the location (by town), category (hotel, restaurant, pizzeria, or albergo (inn)), and and name. There is also a regional Celiac website, but their restaurant list just sends you back to the national website.
If you feel awkward about stumbling over an explanation as to your dietary restrictions in Italian, you can simply download and print celiac restaurant cards in Italian here.
There is also a new iPhone app that maps out the nearest gluten free dining options. The text is in Italian, but the list is easy to decipher and the maps are your standard Google maps. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much for the region of Umbria, but if you are hopscotching around Italy you may find it helpful.
Where to Buy Gluten Free Food in Umbria
Keep in mind that the gluten free (senza glutine) label in Italy looks like this:
The best place to get gluten free food simply at the grocery store. And the best grocery store in our area is the Ipercoop at Collestrada. Coop (the chain of supermarkets) makes their own line of gluten free products, easily identifiable by the white and mint-green packaging. Aside from their own line, they also stock a variety of gluten free foods from other producers at a fraction of the cost of the pharmacy (see below). The shelving is a little unpredictable (sometimes the gluten free pasta is shelved with all the other pastas, but sometimes they seem to group all the gluten free products into one display near the pharmacy section) so you may have to comb the store pretty well and watch your labelling, but from pasta to flour to bread to frozen pizza to crackers to snack cakes to cookies…it's all here, and relatively inexpensive.
I have noticed that other area grocery stores stock gluten free items, but seem to have less variety and consistency than the Ipercoop. Smaller Coop grocery stores, for example, may stock some of the Coop gluten free line, but not as completely as the Collestrada flagship store. If you are popping into a supermarket to pick up something, it may be worth it to take a quick look around. But with the Ipercoop, you know you are going to hit gold.
For a little more grain variety, you can also try the health food store in Perugia. There are a couple, which are all part of the B'Io organic market chain, but the easiest one to find is just up the road from the Perugia train station at Via M. Angeloni, 42 (it's on the right as you are climbing the one-way street). They stock goods made with kamut, rice, spelt, and corn flour and a variety of soy products, as well, if you are looking for lactose free products.
As a last resort, you can purchase gluten free food at any pharmacy in Italy (the bigger the pharmacy, the more variety they will probably have, of course). I say as a last resort simply because it is usually the most expensive, inconvenient, and restrictive option. But it is there, in case you find yourself in a bind and can't make it to either a Coop or a health food store.
Where to Eat Gluten Free Food in Umbria
The gluten free restaurant emblem in Italy looks like this:
It seems like every menu I run across lately has a little star next to the gluten free dishes on offer, so it's pretty daunting—if not impossible–to make an exhaustive list. Just casually mentioning this blog post to a friend solicited two gluten free pizzeria suggestions that I had never heard of.
A good place to start is the Italian Celiac Association's website mentioned above. I gave it a cursory glance and noticed one restaurant listed that has since closed and one I know which serves gluten free options not included, so your mileage may vary. I recommend phoning first just to confirm that they do, indeed, have dishes for celiacs available.
I will also be listing restaurants here as I review them when I see that they offer gluten free options. If I actually eat something from the gluten free menu, I will be sure to mention it. Otherwise, you can use it as a guide to the general quality and vibe of a place. Check back periodically, as I will be updating the list over time.
L'Alchimista Wine & Co., Montefalco
Finally, ask around. As I mentioned before, Italians are generally quite well informed about celiac disease (and many have friends or family who are on gluten free diets), so I've often found that word of mouth is a great way to discover local restaurants and pizzerias who will be happy to accommodate your diet.
What to Eat Gluten Free in Umbria
You've hit the jackpot in Umbria, as some of its best local foods are naturally gluten free. While you're here, make sure you sample the famous pork charcuterie (including prosciutto, salame, and dried sausages) from Norcia, the porchetta (whole roasted pork) from the street vendors' white vans, wild asparagus, mushrooms, and truffles (depending upon the season), Sagrantino wine, extra virgin olive oil, and legumes (lentils from Castelluccio, fagiolino from Lake Trasimeno, and the chickpea's close cousin: cicerchie). Sure, Italy may be known for its pasta and pizza, but the traditional cuisine is so much more than that…and much of it senza glutine. Enjoy every bite!

Brava, Rebecca. This is a good article packed with useful advice! As someone with Celiac Disease, I not only found lots of GF product in Italy, it was also especially good. Even in the states, some of the best Gluten Free products are from bella Italia 🙂

There are lots of wonderful recipes using chestnut flour also of course polenta and wonderful soups. The main problem for celiacs is breakfast in the bar.

Great article! My mom has Celiac and I finally took her to Italy this spring; she had a blast! We even did a cooking class in Bologna where they adapted everything, it was amazing!

Hi, great article. My biggest challenge in Umbria was finding actual restaurants with a wide varierty of gluten-free food. My favourite discover for GF food in Umbria was Ristorante Pegaso, a family-run restaurant that makes absolutely delicious home-made (gluten-free, of course) pasta. It has a full GF menu and is certified by the Italian Celiac's Association. It belongs to a hotel run by the same family and is just outside Perugia. Here is their website: http://hotelvegaperugia.com/restaurant/gluten-free-menu/?lang=en

Working: Employers ferret out online lives
If you think the boss will never find those revealing party pictures because you used a fake name, think again.
Companies are hiring social media spies to scour social and other sites, using software that cross-checks email addresses and other electronic identification codes. They're looking for racy images, racist remarks or other offensive behavior of job applicants and current employees. And they're looking for information that many folks assumed was secret because they used an alias or set up an email account they thought made them anonymous.
Many companies check the criminal and credit backgrounds of their applicants, so it's a logical next step to investigate someone's online presence, said Max Drucker, CEO of Social Intelligence Corp., a Web-checking company he launched last year in Santa Barbara, Calif.
Companies are worried about negligent hiring lawsuits if they miss online clues about an applicant's proclivities, and the person commits a crime after coming onboard, he said.
Some clients also are using the service to monitor their existing workforces, Drucker said. They're looking for disclosures of confidential company information by employees or disparaging comments about the company in public forums.
He declined to disclose how many companies have signed up to conduct the searches, which cost $20 to $50 each.
Soliciting OxyContin
Drucker said it's not uncommon to find applicants posting sexually explicit material or drug solicitations — especially seeking to buy or sell the powerful painkiller OxyContin, which has become a popular street drug.
The searches also have found postings threatening violence as well as images of gun-toting applicants, he said. In one picture, a job applicant was pointing a handgun, and others in the photo were brandishing an assault weapon and a Samurai sword. They were all drinking beer.
But should employers be looking at these images? What if they reveal information about an applicant's race, religion, marital status or other detail that could launch a civil rights claim if they swayed hiring decisions?
"I think it's really important to find out as much as you can about the CEO and other critical positions," said David Barron, an employment lawyer who represents management with Epstein Becker Green Wickliff & Hall in Houston. But for lower-level retail or office jobs? It may not be worth the risk of facing a civil rights claim, Barron said.
"You will probably run across things you wouldn't normally know," he said. Or aren't allowed to consider -- like whether the applicant is pregnant. The problem is compounded if the employer just checks up on applicants of a certain race or gender.
Social media sites
Barron said he has been receiving more questions from clients about checking applicants on social media sites. Many are wary, especially if they know the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has been paying closer attention to how companies use credit and criminal background checks. The agency has sued companies recently, contending such investigations disproportionately screen out minorities and other protected groups.
"I don't think most employers are comfortable with it," Barron said.
"You don't want to be the test case," he said - forced to spend thousands of dollars to prove what you did was legal.
EEOC's take on the issue
In a recent interview, P. David Lopez, general counsel for the EEOC in Washington, said he wasn't aware of services that allow employers to scour the Internet looking for images and comments that employees or applicants are trying to hide with false identities.
"Technology evolves so fast that it's kind of hard to keep up," Lopez said. "You don't want to stifle employer innovation, but you also want to make sure they're not operating on discriminatory assumptions, either."
Screened-out information
Drucker said Social Intelligence Corp. filters out information an employer shouldn't have - including blacking out screen shots that reveal race or gender.
If an employer uses information from a search to reject an applicant, the applicant can dispute the information under the rules of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, he said.
The law covers searches of credit, medical, rental history and other data that consumer reporting agencies collect.

MIDDLEBURY — Abigail Nessen Bengsen, 27, recalled with glee her long involvement with "Night Fires," a winter solstice celebration in which since 1982 local performers had pierced the year's darkest night with a creative cornucopia of music, dance, poems and stories from throughout the world.
"My family was involved before I was born," Bengsen said. "I grew up in it."
But Night Fires went dark in 2007 when its creator, Lincoln's Marianne Lust, needed a break from the arduous tasks of staging what was then a traveling performance.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Older adults who are at high risk of falls should have physical therapy and take vitamin D supplements to reduce their chance of injury, according to new recommendations from a government-backed panel.
Falling is "a common problem and it's often overlooked because doctors may not be aware of their patients' fall risk," said Dr. Albert Siu, a professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and vice co-chair of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), which came out with the recommendations on Monday.
"By asking about falls and by observing the patient in terms of walking, we might be able to asses who might be at risk and who can benefit" from preventive measures, Siu told Reuters Health.
Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults, he added.
According to the new guidelines, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, 30 to 40 percent of people age 65 or older fall at least once each year, and five to 10 percent of them will have a serious injury such as a hip fracture.
The USPSTF makes recommendations on a range of prevention and treatment issues, and its guidelines on reducing the risk of falls in the elderly had not been updated since 1996.
There has been considerable research done since then on what seniors can do to prevent falls. In some cases, the evidence isn't clear. For instance, correcting vision, wearing a shield called a hip protector, stopping some medications or taking protein supplements may or may not lower older people's risk of falls, according to the guidelines.
Vitamin D, exercise and physical therapy, however, are moderately beneficial, reducing the risk of falling by 13 to 17 percent (see Reuters Health report of December 21, 2010).
A 13 percent reduction in falls would mean that instead of 30 out of 100 older adults having a fall each year, that number would drop to 26.
In the USPSTF's review of the evidence on vitamin D, the panel found that to prevent one elderly person from falling, 10 would have to take vitamin D supplements.
Siu said the usual dose is 800 international units (IUs) per day, and studies suggest people should take vitamin D for one year to see any benefit.
For exercise or physical therapy, 16 people would need to participate in a program for 12 weeks in order to prevent one from falling.
Siu said there's not one particular exercise regimen that works best for preventing falls, and that people should talk to their doctors about finding an exercise or physical therapy program they'll stick to over the long run.
"I know from experience, if you recommend something someone had very little interest in, it's not going to get done," he said.
Siu said doctors can pick out patients who are at a higher risk of falling by informal assessments, such as watching how steady they are on their feet and asking them whether they've had a fall recently.
Physicians can also use a more formal test that includes timing how quickly people can get up from a chair, walk a few paces and return to the same spot.
In some situations - such as when an elderly person is very weak or sick, or has fallen before - some benefit might be gained from doing an in-depth examination of risks and how to manage them, which might include evaluating the person's balance and whether their homes have tripping hazards.
But according to the USPSTF and Siu, there seems to be only a minor benefit from such in-depth evaluations, and such an undertaking should be reserved for just those patients a doctor feels would truly benefit, rather than widely applied to all patients at risk of falling.
SOURCE: bit.ly/L9cPi0 Annals of Internal Medicine, May 28, 2012.
This story was corrected to clarify that evidence on these interventions isn't clear in paragraph 7; also corrects paragraph 12; and paragraphs 17 and 18 to clarify that in-depth evaluations are helpful in selected cases.

Winter on the Washington Coast
January 26, 2010 by: Susan Goldsmith
Ah, winter on the Washington coast. There are many reasons why this is the ideal time to stay at a coastalbed and breakfast Washington: the quintessential Pacific Northwest experience, the solitude, the cleansing winds. These come together to create something special.
For starters, let's talk about the weather. When there is no expectation that the the sun will shine, there can be no disappointment if the clouds remain. You'll arrive prepared – with woolens and gortex in hand – ready to celebrate the misty beauty of Pacific Northwest beaches. And if it does turn out to be sunny, think how delighted you'll be.
Then there is the food. Winter is the perfect time to stay at our bed and breakfast Washington because it is always more satisfying to eat in the winter. We crave comfort food. We dream of drinking buckets of hot coffee. We are willing to loosen our pants just the teensiest bit. Our inn offers a unique dining experience, with food like no other inn we know. We use all the fresh and local ingredients we can find, including wild mushrooms, oysters from Willapa and Shoalwater Bays, and wild Pacific fish caught by local fisherman.
Go for a pre-breakfast walk on the beach to stimulate the appetite, or sleep in and spend the afternoon walking off your feast. Or forget the walk and curl up with a book and a view to the sea. The important thing is that you allow yourself to indulge in the fresh baked breads, Susie's fruit entrees, and Bill's egg extravaganzas.
The incredible beauty of the Long Beach Peninsula is present no matter what the season or the weather. Bring your walking shoes and explore Cape Disappointment State Park. Or stay close to the inn and visit the Long Beach Boardwalk and Discovery Trail. If you can travel mid-week, you may find you have these spots to yourself. Even during winter weekends, you're sure to find few crowds and ample solitude.
So come experience the winter coast at our bed and breakfast Washington.

Defenders in Action: Seeing the Forests for the Trees - and the Wildlife
© Joel Sartore/joelsartore.com
In a fresh start for forests, a federal court in June overturned the Bush administration's last-ditch effort to weaken protections for wildlife on the country's 175 national forests and grasslands. Several weeks later, it got even better, when the new head of the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced his goal of making forests more resilient to climate change and better able to protect watersheds.
In April 2008, the Bush administration repealed key protections, mandated under the National Forest Management Act, to sustain populations of wildlife species, to preserve clean, healthy streams and lakes, and to protect diverse habitats. The outgoing administration also sought to reduce public participation in national forest management planning.
Defenders and a coalition of other groups sued to overturn the action. In June, the court threw out the Bush regulations, finding that the U.S. Forest Service had failed to consider adequately the impacts to the environment and imperiled species, as required under the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act.
In mid-August, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack—whose department includes the U.S. Forest Service—announced a new effort to update national forest management regulations. In his announcement, Vilsack highlighted how he believes forests should be managed to protect water resources and to restore healthy forests better able to withstand the stresses associated with global warming, like fires and diseases spread by insects.
"Secretary Vilsack's announcement comes as great news for America's spectacular national forests and grasslands. He's charted a bold vision for the future of these lands, recognizing the importance of our national forests for the clean water, abundant wildlife and recreational opportunities they provide to countless Americans, as well as the vital role they play in the fight against global warming," says Defenders' President Rodger Schlickheisen.

Once a physicist: David Florence
David Florence won a silver medal for Great Britain in the single canoe slalom event at the 2008 Olympics Games in Beijing.
Why did you study physics?
I did mathematical physics because it was just what I was best at. I enjoyed it at school, so I applied to do it at Nottingham University. I fell into it, to be quite honest. Once at university, I struggled at first, partly because I found it quite difficult to combine studying with competing and training in sport, which is pretty much full time as well. But by the end of my university career, I had learned to be organized, and to manage my time pretty effectively, so I enjoyed it a lot more.
What was your training schedule like?
I did not have a huge number of lectures while I was at university, maybe 10 or 15 hours' worth a week, so the main problem was fitting in my training with the studying and some of the exams. I would be training about 12 times a week, for an hour each time — but it is not just an hour of training, because you also have to go down to the slalom courses beforehand to vet them, look at the white water and prepare for it, and then do video analysis afterwards. My schedule is fairly similar now that I am a full-time athlete, but it is obviously easier for me to go abroad to training camps.
How did you become interested in canoeing?
My uncle and father had done it when they were younger, and on one occasion my uncle brought some canoes to the beach on a family day out. I would have been about 14 then, which is pretty late to get into a sport — there cannot have been many other people at the Olympics who got started so late. I was really keen on it, though, and began training hard reasonably quickly.
Do you see any applications of physics in what you are doing now?
Not directly, but having an analytical mind can be a big help when you are training or racing. Being able to analyse a course carefully is essential, for example — you need to know exactly what you are going to do. So it is very helpful to have that kind of mindset that allows you to figure out for yourself how to get better, how to do things faster and how to learn better techniques.
What do you do when you are not training?
I tried to learn Chinese in the run-up to the Beijing games, at least to some standard, and I'm learning the guitar — I already play the bagpipes. I have not really kept up with physics, but I do still read the science section on the BBC website.
What do you plan to do next?
After the 2008 Olympics, I realized that if I retired, I did not have any idea what I wanted to do instead, so I thought I would use the next four years to figure that out. I applied to be an astronaut with the European Space Agency, figuring that with a degree in mathematical physics I might have some chance. I was not successful, but there was no harm in trying. Now, I am hoping to compete in the London 2012 Olympics, although you have to be selected, and that is a long way off. I am going to give the next four years my best shot, and now that I have an Olympic medal, I hope to get enough support from sponsors so that I can give it a really good effort in the London games.

Since all level populations are calculated explicitly, line emissivities and cooling rates are calculated as a straightforward product of the population of the line upper level, the spontaneous transition probability and an escape fraction.
Line optical depths may be large in some nebular situations. Photons emitted near the centers of these lines are likely to be absorbed by the transition which emitted them and reemitted at a new frequency. This line scattering will repeat many times until the photon either escapes the gas, is destroyed by continuum photoabsorption or collisional deexcitation, or is degraded into longer wavelength photons which may then escape. Our treatment of resonance line transfer is based on the assumption of complete redistribution. That is, we assume that there is no correlation of photon frequencies before and after each scattering event. This has been shown to be a good approximation for a wide variety of situations, particularly when the line profile is dominated by Doppler broadening. In this case, more accurate numerical simulations (e.g., [Hummer and Rybicki 1971]) have shown that line scattering is restricted to a small spatial region near the point where the photons are emitted. Line photons first scatter to a frequency such that the gas cloud is optically thin and then escape in a single long flight. The probability of escape per scattering depends on the optical depth, at the center of the line. For , the resonant trapping is effectively local. For , the lines become optically thick in the damping wings, and the line escapes as a result of diffusion in both space and frequency. Since the scattering in the Doppler core is always dominated by complete redistribution, and since most of the lines in our models are optically thin in the wings, we assume that all line scattering takes place in the emission region.
We use the following expression for escape probability ([Kwan and Krolik, 1981]):
is the optical depth at line center, and .
The rates for line emission and the probabilities for the various resonance line escape and destruction probabilities depend on the state of the gas at each point in the cloud. The cooling function for the gas depends on the line escape probabilities, and the effects of line trapping must be incorporated in the solution for the temperature and ionization of the gas. Once the state of the gas at a given point has been determined, the emission in each line is calculated as the product of the upper level population and the corresponding net decay rate, including the suppression due to multiple scattering.

I am a novice and newbie to both the discussion boards and the beloved Cavaliers. I am a new mom to Quincy. She is a Tri that is 5 months old. I want to be a good mom and handle her in the best way, since I read from you that there is a critical learning curve at her age. I found Cavaliertalk while researching the other night. I feel less confident of the discussion board, so forgive me if I mess up protocol. There is so much to learn and I think I have found the right place. So..my first question is: How do I handle the biting and nibbling that seems to be getting better but still socially unacceptable?
