Interest in Canvas, as well as mobile apps, has led to a renaissance of old-school 8-bit graphics. Joe Huckaby of Effect Games has been playing around with color cycling, leading to some stunning effects. Anyone remember Color cycling from the 90s?

Please Reprint!

There are some excellent chess books that are forgotten and/or out of print. These are usually the same ones you can barely find on the web and only at ridiculously high price. Now, at the dawn of universal digital format we may not wish for an actual reprint, but more of a digital conversion that would make these gems available for all of us. With a legal, copyrighted format of course that the authors could rightfully benefit as well. What books would you guys hope to see again or more easily available?

Texas Runner Leo Manzano Nabs Big Silver for the U.S.

Thanks to a former Longhorn, an American has now stood on the Olympic podium to claim a medal in the men’s 1500m final for the first time since 1968.

And it’s none other than hometown Hill Country boy Leonel Manzano, BA ’08, Life Member, who grew up in Marble Falls.

On Tuesday evening, crowds watched the two-time Olympian storm down the 12-man stretch to a silver medal of historic proportions—and a long-awaited revival.

After failing to make it to the 1500m final four years ago in Beijing, the UT track star has more than redeemed himself.

At the start of the race, Manzano immediately fell to the back of the pack in his signature style. The initial favorites pushed to the front, not anticipating what would happen next.

To everyone’s surprise, Manzano fought his way to medal contention in the last 100m of the race.

In the final moments, Manzano gained momentum, coming from behind with a killer last-minute kick on the homestretch to claim silver in just 3:34.79. With his fist raised high in the air accompanied by a huge grin, Manzano crossed the finish line to secure his first Olympic medal.

After his big win, the Longhorn Olympian knelt down on the track and celebrated with flags from both the United States and Mexico.

At 4 years old, Manzano emigrated with his family from Mexico to Marble Falls in 1987. And soon after, the Texas-raised athlete garnered cross country honors and fame while attending UT. In his last season, the competitive runner finished as the top Texas runner at the NCAA and South Regional Championships in 2008. In all, the track and field athlete won four NCAA titles and earned nine All-American honors while at UT.

And with his biggest win yet behind him, Manzano has become the eighth Longhorn to earn a medal at the 2012 London Olympics.

Entry Foyers for Mini Spaces

James Michael Howard. Perfection in a foyer.

Entry foyers are an important space in the home. They set the tone for the rest of your living space. They should be welcoming but also say something about you. I have an extremely mini entry hall and as you may know I just set up/restored a chest to go in it. After much research, I have come up with some great ways to maximize your space and still have it look gorgeous!

The first element is the mirror. Mirrors have an amazing way of making the room look larger than it is--crazy right??! You can do one large mirror like I did, or several arranged in a fun way!

Pamela Banker used an octagonal mirror here which works quite harmoniously with the wallpaper!

In this foyer by James Michael Howard, he used many small mirrors and arranged them around pieces of art.

This is my sister and BIL's foyer in her apartment in Chicago! The gorgeous console is from Gumps, and I appreciate their symmetry here. Perhaps they could add something under the console? A bench or a ceramic stool?

Another important factor is storage. The entire reason that I needed this wardrobe chest was so that I could store my fabrics and other craft/design supplies. You might not have a chest, but a console. This is okay too because there so so many attractive storage containers out there now! Nobody likes clutter so you can easily store shoes or other things that might have a way of "living" in your foyer.

Robert Stilin put an oversized basket under this console--great for mittens and scarves?? Or maybe tennis raquets?

From Country Living, this designer used vintage suitcases as attractive storage.

Secondary elements should be added to your foyer as well to add interest to the space. I'd love to add this adorable little caned seat chair I saw at an antiques store but I don't have a lot of room. You can also add something functional like a cute umbrella stand or a plant stand.Amanda Kyser placed an intense red modern chair next to her console table. I love the contrast of modern and antique--the table is swaying down because it's so old!

From House Beautiful, Schuyler Samperton placed a stool (on an angle) to counteract the perfection of the scene. Having things look natural is also super important because the front hall is actually a very busy space!

The last part to this is adding objects to the console or chest or table in your front hall. I've decided to put some stacked design books (some of my absolute favorites), an etched brass bowl next to a ceramic candle stick, and possibly a plant. I'd love to add some green to the room. Right when you walk in you say, "Alicia loves design and she sure knows how to kill a spider plant!" See below.

This is just a sneak peek at my newly restored chest! I am quite pleased with what I've done, but it's a work in progress. I have three of my fave design books including Mariette Himes Gomez's Houses, an antique white enamel pitcher, two brass antique candlesticks, and a mirror. I know, the mirror is LEANING and not hanging, but I seem to be handling the trauma of it well. Deep breaths.

Alicia B.

Anonymous said...

Alicia B., thanks for your suggestion for under the console table! Do you have some specific suggestions you could send me? You can't tell from the picture, but where we have the table it is a fairly narrow space so I am fearful of cluttering it up.

My Notting Hill said...

Great post - so many pics I hadn't seen before. Like the color you painted your chest - look forward to seeing more.

Down Comforter said...

I think my favorite is the James Michael Howard foyer. The House Beautiful is also really pretty - love the color :)

Africa: U.S. Takes Different Approach to Africa Than China

White House — President Barack Obama's effort to engage Africa brought together the largest summit of African leaders ever held in Washington. But China has hosted such summits before, and the U.S. gathering highlights what some see as a belated U.S. effort to catch up and expand its economic ties with Africa.

The might of large American corporations like Coca Cola is powering the Obama administration's latest efforts to build its partnership with Africa.

The company at the summit announced it's boosting its investment by $5 billion in safe water and other programs.

China, too, has invested heavily -- doing twice as much trade with Africa as the U.S. But Beijing has been accused of ignoring governance and human rights issues.

Corporate investment

Obama announced $14 billion of American corporate investment at the Africa summit, but indicated the United States will have a different approach.

"Capital is one thing. Development programs and projects are one thing. But, but rule of law? Regulatory reform? Good governance? Those things matter even more, because people should be able to start a business and ship their goods without having to pay a bribe or hire somebody's cousin."

This was a big summit, but Beijing started hosting equally large numbers of African leaders 14 years ago.

U.S. officials say there is no competition with China for Africa.

Human rights, governance

Analyst Richard Downie agrees. "I think at heart, the U.S. and China have mutual interests in Africa. They're both interested in peace, stability and security because that's the best environment in which to grow markets and do business."

He said the U.S. seeks a new kind of engagement.

"The U.S. has traditionally focused very much on development issues, on tackling some of the big public health crises in Africa, such as HIV/AIDS and trying to resolve some of the most persistent conflicts," said Downie. "So it's really focused on the downsides, the problems of Africa rather than the upside, the economic opportunities that China is focused on."

This summit focused on the upside, with economic issues taking center stage. There were no sessions devoted to rule of law and justice. White House officials said leaders had a chance to talk about those issues on the sidelines.

Is 100mb of data enough for bbm on a blackberry?
I have a contract that allows 100mb per month, I only plan on using bbm and downloading a theme

you should get this phone

For $35 a month you get unlimited data and texts and 300 mins. virgin mobile also offers the iphone 4s for $30 a month for unlimited text and data plus 300 mins.
the only big difference is that you have to pay more for the phone upfront but you arent tied to a contract and low monthly fees.

No Bond For DMX, Rapper Could Be Jailed Until October

Legal drama for rapper DMX continues to unfold as the entertainer sits in a Florida jail under a no bail hold status. reports that DMX, born Earl Simmons, appeared in court on Friday (August 15) after a bench warrant was issued against him in Arizona for drug charges.

The rapper was arrested Thursday (August 14) while attempting to leave a Wal-Mart in Miami, Fla.

The arrest came as result of Simmons skipping a court date on Tuesday (August 12) for a pretrial conference on allegations of marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession.

The rapper had reportedly tried to surrender to police, but was taken in before negations with his lawyer were completed.

Simmons lawyer, Brad Cohen, waived extradition for his client and contested a no bond hold, after a $25,000 bond had previously set for Simmons.

Despite Cohen’s attempt to get a fugitive bond in the state of Florida for Simmons to return to Arizona to bond out, Judge Lawrence Schwartz upheld the no bond status, which was issued by the State of Arizona.

“I am not questioning the veracity of anything you just said to me. I would absolutely have no reason to do that,” Judge Schwartz said. “But until state of Arizona lifts its no bond status, its a no bond status at this point.”

As a result of the ruling, Simmons will have to stay in jail in Florida until his October 2 court hearing for a possession charge he obtained in Miami.

Cohen later told TMZ he would have the rapper released before the hearing if everything is straightened out.

Altered ingredient amounts. I made this for some of my friends at work, and it was a big hit. I raised it to a 110ml of chai which made it very moist and lovely. Also, the cream cheese made little cream cheese pockets randomly, which were so delicious! Served with strawberries and coffee, this was really fantastic, so easy and rewarding. - 14 Jul 2008

I am at uni and I made this recipe without spending one cent (I got some Chia tea bags for Xmas from a friend) - I am so proud - I never cook! It looks great, but I should have let the tea get stronger - can't really taste it, but I drank a lot of tea while it was cooking! - 14 Jul 2008

Great recipe. - 14 Jul 2008

I guess I'm one of the few who prepared this as written--with the rosemary. I used a little less than called for, but it complemented the asparagus and mushrooms well and was a nice addition. Simple, easy, delicious, and makes for a beautiul presentation on the dinner plate.

Most Helpful Critical Review
Jun 30, 2006

What happens to the mushrooms? This recipe only suggests you roast the asparagus. Is there a typo or is she serious?

Mar 01, 2008

This was so easy. I put the asparagus and mushrooms on the cookie sheet then just poured the olive oil over them and tossed them with my hands. That way I didn't dirty up a bowl. Then I sprinkled it with chopped, dried rosemary and regular salt and it turned out great. Also, the asparagus really shrink up so it's okay if you have slightly more than a single layer of stalks. Just stir them halfway through the roasting.

Sep 14, 2008

Great recipe! I've made this several times. White mushrooms are good, portobellos are great. I've tried this with thick asparagus and found roasting for 15 minutes is good. But I tried pencil thin ones once, and 15 minutes was too long and they got burnt and mushy.

I assumed the mushrooms were included in the roasting, after all they're combined in a bowl & drizzled w/ the oil, etc. Very good! I'd rate it PERFECT, just add a little common sense! Thanks for sharing it!

Feb 09, 2008

This was fabulous. I left off the rosemary because I just can't stand it, and used some minced garlic instead. We were so impressed with the way the tips of the asparagus got all delicious and crunchy! I've made it twice this week (asparagus was on sale), once with the mushrooms and once without. This is now my favorite way to cook asparagus!

Aug 16, 2006

I used Baby Bella mushrooms, and I enjoyed the winning combination of asparagus & mushrooms. Although I love fresh rosemary and use it frequently, I found out today I don't care for it with asparagus--seems to make it bitter. However, I believe that is a personal preference, and this recipe is a good one. I used a little more olive oil. The recipe is perfect as to the portions and the roasting time; I'll try again with a different herb. Thanks leo67!

Jul 06, 2006

This recipe has been a family favorite for years, my recipe has some small changes: no salt, 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to coat well, crush rosemary with a mortor and pestel and roast 500 degrees for 10 minutes. The asparagus without the mushrooms are good too.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place the chicken, cardamom pods, cinnamon, and whole red onion into a large Dutch oven. Fill with enough water to cover the chicken, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil for 20 minutes. Reserve 4 cups of the resulting chicken stock in a large saucepan.

  4. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until the chicken becomes golden brown.
  5. Meanwhile, pour the rice in with the reserved chicken stock. Bring the rice to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. once it reaches a boil, cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to low, simmer covered for 15 minutes. Stir the milk into the rice and bring the heat back up to medium-low; cook uncovered until no liquid remains. Serve the rice topped with the chicken and onion.

Good. Served to company and they all liked it too. It does not say whether to include the cinnamon sticks and pods in the broth that you use to cook the rice. I did not but I will try doing do next time to see if it strengthens the flavors. Also, I advise using more than one onion. The onion was the best at soaking up the flavors. The perfect bite had some chicken, some onion and some rice - but there was not really enough onion. Definitely will make again. Nice subtle flavors. Distinct recipe option. Makes me want to try more Saudi Arabian foods.

Feb 12, 2008

I enjoyed this recipe because it was very easy to make and had a unique and subtle flavor. I also like that the rice is partially made with milk - it is a technique I will probably use in other dishes as well. In my area, it was difficult to find cardamom pods, so we used ground cardamom (3 tsp) instead. Not having a basis for comparison, I can't say if it turned out the same, but we thought it turned out very good. It was also an experience to try a Saudi dish as I had never had one before. I will certainly be recommending this recipe to others.

Fragrant and delicous. The milk makes the rice rich, but not heavy.

Oct 22, 2012

This was really easy and tasty. I used my slow cooker and then deboned the chicken and served on side. It probably would have been even better baked.

Baked Soy Lemon Chops

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2015
Absolutely outstanding. I ended up making the pork in foil packets and threw in some cauliflower florets I had on hand. The flavor was so good that I regularly make cauliflower and potatoes this way now. I marinate overnight and then cook in the marinade. I'll definitely make this again - with pork and/or veggies!

This was the first salad dressing that I've ever made myself. I didn't have very high expectations because I didn't see how, with such a short ingredient list, it could be very flavorful, but it was GREAT. I took it with a big green salad to a BBQ and it absolutely disappeared and I had lots of people asking for the recipe. This is now a staple in my house. Also, the first time I made it I didn't have any red wine vinegar so I used Chinese red vinegar - it's fabulous both ways. Thanks so much for sharing!

Bean Casserole

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2007
This recipe is wonderful! Instead of bread I topped it with polenta - I just bought the sort of pre-made polenta in a tube, then sliced it and layered it on top of the bean and vegetable mixture. The polenta browned up nicely in the oven, and it was great. My boyfriend is a vegetarian, so I'm always on the lookout for recipes that we'll both enjoy. This one was hearty and savory, and we loved it. I think the spices could also be easily altered to make it a "southwestern" bean casserole - next time I'll try chili powder and cumin and top it with cornbread mix. Wonderful!

Ronnetta's Spaghetti Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 30, 2007
This was really good. My boyfriend's a vegetarian, so instead of the ground beef (and instead of the fake "beef", which I find can get sort of dry and has little flavor) I added finely diced zucchini and eggplant. We both loved it. I added more garlic and some crushed red pepper, as well as some tabasco (which I add to everything!). If your family isn't into spicy, then it's good as is. By the way - if you're a vegetarian, make sure you read the spaghetti spice packet well - a lot of them contain animal ingredients.

About this Cook
I am an educator in the Caddo Parish School System. I am married and love cooking for my husband, he's my favorite guinea pig. I also love cooking for and with my mother and sister.
My favorite things to cook
I would say my favorite things to cook are old recipes with a new and adventurous 'remix'.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Spending time with my mother, sister, and niece in the kitchen. We cook so well together and can use each other to add something new and exciting to our family recipes.
My cooking triumphs
There is not a breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner that I cannot create or make my own. I am quite proud of that fact.
My cooking tragedies
Don't do baking well mainly because I don't really try.

Cinnamon Rolls II
OMG! These were by far the best cinnamon roll I have ever made or eaten. The recipe does not yield many but is so very satisfying and leaves you yearning for more. Easy to follow recipe, methods and does not need to be redone or upgraded in any way unless adding more of the finished product.

My hubby and I
About this Cook
I'm Rachael, a 24-year-old American girl from Morgantown, West Virginia now living in Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico. I came here as an English teacher and stayed because I really enjoyed my job. Now, I'm married and a housewife, which I enjoy equally as much if not more. I really love being here, but I also REALLY miss West Virginia. It will always be my home, sweet home!
My favorite things to cook
I love trying to make everything from scratch and I cook 3 meals a day everyday, which my husband and I eat together. Some processed/canned/packaged foods are hard to find here anyway, so I rarely cook with things other than fresh vegetables, meat, fish, grains, etc. I like to make comfort and Southern foods that I grew up eating, really traditional Mexican foods (so no baked enchiladas or taco seasoning, etc.), and Indian food. I still don't know much about Indian food, but I hope to learn!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom makes the most delicious dinner rolls for holidays. She has the same recipe as my great grandmother, and I will surely keep using her recipe and pass it on to my kids. My family also eats creamed tomatoes and biscuits every Christmas morning-more recipes from my grandmother.
My cooking triumphs
I've always been happy with how my enchiladas verdes turn out, since the first time I tried making them.
My cooking tragedies
When I got married I had very little experience with seafood. I'm mildly allergic to shellfish and besides that I've never been much of a fan. I will eat fish though, but I had never loved it enough to make it at home. My husband asked for it one day and I agreed to give it a shot. I don't think I realized how fragile some fish filets can be. The whole things stuck to the pan horribly and when I tried to get it out of the pan, it broke into a bunch of pieces. Ugh!

Beef Brisket My Way
First time I ever cooked a brisket. It was delicious! It tasted a little sweet, it must have been because of the balsamic vinegar (from Modena, the best!). This recipe deserves 5 stars! I used fresh spices and Cannonau wine (from Sardinia). I chose to cook it in the crock pot. When the meat was done, I removed it and thickened the sauce with a couple tablespoons of flour and cook it for 10-15 min more. I then poured the sauce on top of the meat and ate it with a a baguette fresh out of the oven! Awesome! Will definitely make it again.

This was sooooo good, I did make alot of additions to this recipe though. I used the entire egg, also cut the recipe in 1/2 bc I only had1 lb of turkey. added cheese, put in 1/2 of the green ench sauce in the mix and topped the rest before putting in oven. small onion, garlic, rotel tomato sauce, cilantro, fresh thyme and oregano, canned mushrooms, and I used the homemade taco seasoning from this website as well. Really good, I cooked for about 1 hour at 350 and I had left overs from a family of 4. It was a huge loaf bc of all of the additions and it was sooo moist. I am def making this again! Thanks!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
This was AMAZING...with the mods I made of coarse! I didn't really change much...I used green enchilada sauce and a pinch of sugar in with the 26 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes, used fire roasted green chilis in a can. Added a can of rinsed black beans. Didn't add cilantro to the soup, but instead as a garnish. Also, I used 3 baked chicken thighs, I would have added boneless skinless chicken to the crockpot, but I didn't have any and I didn't want to add the skin and all to the pot and worry about fetching it later so this time I baked em and removed the fat, skin and bones. I also used 2 pkgs of chicken bullion in the pot with the water. I let this cook on high for 4 hours since I added cooked chicken. I would go longer next time with raw chicken. The way to serve this is over some rice to make it more hearty and filling, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the bowl and top with a spoon of sour cream, green onion, cilantro, cheese and tortilla strips...I used bagged tortillas. OMG SOOOOO AWESOME!!!!! Thanks! I personally think that you should read over reviews and take into count the changes ppl made, it helps make it better, so I never make things as written I always make changes to our liking. Enjoy cooking, I certainly do!!

Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli

Reviewed: Jan. 24, 2012
Great side dish! Some tweaks: I used cayenne instead of black pepper for some extra heat and only roasted them for 15 minutes. Any longer and they would have burned; 15 left them just the tiniest bit charred on the ends. I wasn't shy with my use of garlic and lemon and probably used more than is listed here. Also, I used 2 medium-sized heads of broccoli and barely had 2 servings, not the 6 listed here. Anyway, it was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be making this again!

Mexican Cornbread Salad

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2011
Great recipe, never fails to impress. I make my own cornbread and use bottled Kraft Peppercorn Ranch dresing, sometimes shredded chicken instead of bacon. Easily becomes no meat version for vegetarians and if you check for a cornbread recipe with corn meal is a great salad for celiacs or those who prefer a diet that is gluten free.

I used to make this recipe back in the 80's and I am so happy to see it again. It is the perfect blend of a lot of pumpkin and touch of old fashioned mincemeat. Start a new tradition and make the mincemeat out of your green tomtoes. My kids love mincemeat day. I spiced the pumpkin with 1/2 teas. ginger and 1/teas. allspice.

If you bake them for five (5) minutes before you drop them in the water, it makes them easier to handle, just pre-heat the oven to 300 for the initial baking, then raise the temp as directed for baking after the water bath. This also makes them alittle more airy, and less dense. Works great!

I, like another reviewer, unfortunately tried the Mall Pretzels from this site first...we LOVED that recipe. This was much quicker to make but the other reviewer was right the other recipe is much better. This also didn't work very well...oven temp too high and it just didn't taste as good as the other one. We will keep the other one. Thanks for the post.

I may have given these a better rating, had I not tried Mall Pretzels from this site first. These are quicker to make, but not near as good. The dough was tough to work with, it should rise for an hour first. When putting the pretzels in the baking soda water, I had one completely fall apart. I'm not sure I agree with the 475 degree temperature either. I had mine in for 9minutes, and they burned. They tasted okay, just more trouble to make than the Mall Pretzels. I will be using that recipe from now on.

Sep 19, 2003

This is a good basic recipe but I did adjust it a bit. I omitted the margarine and used two cups of water. After the dough was mixed I hand kneaded several times and placed the dough in a greased bowl and let it rise for one hour. I then punched it down and kneaded it a couple of more times and cut the dough into sixteen pieces. Once my pretzels were formed I let them rest for about ten minutes while I prepared my boiling water to which I added two tablespoons of baking soda. The pretzels held a perfect shape while poaching and were easily extracted with a slotted flipper. Once cooled I brushed the pretzels with an egg wash and proceeded with a garlic and salt topping. They came out golden and shiney. The gang devoured them! Thanks for a good start Colleen!

Mar 08, 2005

Yummy! I followed the measurements exactly and combined it all in my cuisinart (fast!). It makes a nice dough. After shaping I increased the rising time to at least a full hour. I also found that boiling for longer than 1 min. and flipping them half way through in a steady simmer resulted in the chewier consistency we all are looking for. I reduced baking to 7 min. or golden, brushed with melted butter while cooling and sprinkled with either salt or cinnamon-sugar.

Oct 08, 2003

Everything went well until I tried to lift them off the pan to boil them. Since the dough had risen, they were very delicate and were easily misshapen in the transfer process to the pot of water. Then they came out looking really weird. They taste good, though. And since they were boiled, they stay moist for awhile. So if you can't eat them all right away, they keep pretty well in a Ziploc bag. I think I'll try some other recipes, though.

Apr 04, 2011

The only difference I did was bake them at 400 degrees for 5 minutes; then turned the pan and baked another 3 minutes - because the first time I made them at 475, the batch came out very dark and hard. I also made one batch of brushed-on butter and coarse salt, and one batch with brushed-on butter and then sprinkled cinnamon sugar. The kids LOVED this, tasted like Monkey Bread. I also placed them on parchment paper, and sprayed that with cooking spray. They did not stick at all.

Dec 05, 2003

These pretzels are absolutly wonderful. We used Bread flour instead of all purpose, they came out GREAT!!! For a really good treat coat with butter when you remove from the oven!!!!

Change Careers

Many people will contemplate a career change over the course of their professional lives. Brandeis alumni are no different. Downsizing, performance problems, the need to relocate, the need for more earnings, the quest for more fulfillment, or perhaps the desire to reconnect with a childhood passion are several popular reasons why people decide it is time for a career change. Here are three key tips to help alumni career changers get started down their new path.

Know Thyself

What is motivating you to make a career change? Perhaps, it is one of the reasons mentioned above. Once you know your motivation, it is time to take a personal inventory of your current skills, knowledge areas, interests, and personal attributes. You may very well already possess many of the desirable strengths that are needed to succeed in your new area of interest. Or, perhaps you may find that you need some further education, like a class, a certificate, a volunteer apprenticeship, or another degree.

Type Focus is a wonderful online resource that can help alumni take a first step in identifying your values, skills, interests and personality type and how they may relate to new career options. Access TypeFocus by logging in to B.hired > Resources.

Research the Possibilities

Once you've identified career fields/areas of interest, it is time to do some research. The Occupational Outlook Handbook and ONET Online are two helpful online resources that will educate you on the knowledge, skills, abilities, and trends associated with a field.

Another important part of your research is actually speaking with people who are in your career field(s) of interest to learn about how they navigated their career path. Finding a mentor in your field of interest that can advise you on do’s and don’ts is also very helpful. Family, friends, and fellow Brandeis alumni are great resources to start with! Learn more about finding and connecting with Brandeis alumni through B Connect and LinkedIn.

Take Action

Volunteering with an organization or a group is also a wonderful way to give a potential new area of interest a test drive. Take small steps every day, allow yourself to experience setbacks, and remember to ask for help. Investment bankers can become chocolatiers! Trust us, it's happened.

"I practiced law for 10+ years. Wanting more from my job, I decided to change careers. I’m happily a 'recovering lawyer!'

I’m now the Assistant Director of Camp Matoaka, an overnight, summer camp in Maine. This is literally my dream job! I attended Camp Matoaka for many years as a camper and a counselor (from the age of 10 until the day I went to law school!).

It is hard to walk away from a high-paying, well-respected career, but I was unhappy and Hiatt helped me realize that there were other careers out there.

I took personality tests, etc., and networked galore. Most of all, they counseled me in the traditional sense…they were “therapists” in helping me realize that I was making a good decision for myself and my family."

Comedy and Tragedy on Da-da's Main Stage

Some artist's idea of Homer. If you rubbed his nose, he told you a story.

Hello, and welcome to rambling long-form Post #1464! Great to be here. Onward.

Few of you know -- how could you? -- that Da-da was unlucky enough to endure benefit from an extensive education in not only Science and Technology, but also the Classics and Humanities, History in general -- and about a zillion other subjects. Such books always seemed to be inside Da-da's cage.

Believe it or not, this curriculum mirrors what's happening today, but with less wigs and robes and more unprotected sex, and also shows you how long it took Da-da to get out of college; however, in terms of blood and cruelty, we seem to have exceeded our ancient counterparts, we just hide it better.

Misinterpretation of the Ancient Greek Chorus brought you: OPERA! If you're into that kinda thing.

The Players

Ah, Classics and Humanities: they makes the average hominid's eyes turn to opaque glass. But wait! Bright shiny thing!

The Humanities are, "The Best-of the Human Race," if that's possible, which includes: Art, Literature, Philosophy, World Religion, History, Theater History, Archaeology, Languages, etc. Wait... Theater History? Yup. Waitforit.

The Classics explore the earliest complete writings from Ancient Greece and Rome, on through their re-discovery and interpretation from the Middle Ages to The Renaissance to doric fast food joints all over North Hollywood, encompassing a bunch of other epochs that are making your eyes glaze over again.

Best of all were, The NAKED MAGICIANS.

Ok, maybe they were half-naked, but they definitely all drove convertibles.

The Set Up

Ok, ok, there were precious few naked magicians around back then, kinda like now, but their mere suggestion crazed your eye-glaze enough to move forward, if just a little.

The Ancient Greeks, who were fervent admirers of ancient poetry (some was ancient even to them) -- and who, like many ancients, were barefoot and naked quite a lot -- invented theater to give poetry a bit more to do. This of course gave poets the chance to ham it up something awful (awful being the key word), which they did more and more until someone finally said, "Do that over THERE."

Thus, was theater born.

This form of nascent-theater was championed by a nabob named, "Thespis," an (over)actor of the day. He was such an (over)actor that to this day his name is the root of, "thespian," meaning, "(over)actor." Thespis would no doubt be thrilled.

The Ancient Greeks and Romans would've loved Freud. Or killed him. One of those.

The Hook

As far as we know, the Ancient Greeks invented everything about theater: the stage, the scene/backdrop, the players, overpriced snacks, wrestling masks, booing... all the things that are still used to illustrate reality's delicious allegory that people still miss today, regardless of whether or not their seats are any good.

The Greeks also invented Comedy and Tragedy. Ancient "comedy" was simply a story that ended well, or happily ever after"; it wasn't necessarily funny, mostly because Steve Martin hadn't been invented yet. Ancient "tragedy," predictably, ended tragically.

With tragedy, there is no neat, hopeful ending. Ever. Everybody dies and stays dead, while the remaining cast -- the chorus -- mills about group-saying, "Thus: They Die. And you will, too, you NAKED PRE-DEAD PEOPLE shivering in tragically thin robes." Remember: theater was invented for the purpose of (over)acting.

O tragedy.

The Tale

The first Ancient Greek play was a tragedy entitled, "The Rape/Sack of Miletus," or, "The Capture/Fall of Miletus," depending on which translator was drinking what. This notorious play -- which was burned immediately afterwards -- rehashed the recent fall of the Greek city of Miletus, an event fresh in the minds of those in the audience.

The play was so devastating that the playwright, Phrynichus, was banished from Athens, all copies of the play burned, and a near-naked mob turned into the streets in an uproar. That's some play. If that happened today, people would brag about it:
Dude #1: "Dude, I got banished for that play, you know."
Dude #2: "Whoa!"
Dude #3: "No way!"
Dude #1: "Way. They burned all the copies. AND THEY WERE ALL NAKED."
Dude #2: "Awesome."
Dude #3: "The copies or the audience?"

Yorick? Santa? M. Emmet Walsh? ANYBODY know where Da-da's going with this?

The Wire

Da-da's not here to give you an education in ancient theater, he's here to draw parallels; Da-da's a generalist and can spot a parallel across a zillion light years of strip mall parking lot. (They're often scratched onto the hide of some dusty mammoth that's really NAKED beneath all that hair. Disgusting.) Meanwhile, back at Tragedy's Ranch...

Since all movies today HAVE to be comedies -- that is, end well, or they make no money -- our tragedies come in the form of news.

Media outlets drip with tragedy, where a neat, hopeful ending can nary be found.

The new iHelmet. Yay.

The Shut Out

Thing is, our media postmodern performance goes on and on and on with no stop, no catharsis, depositing layer after layer of tension and fear and future-promise inanity until we're all numb.

Today's media rarely offers the opportunity to take a step back and reflect, failing to augment your own life for the better with what you've learned before the next Prime Time Tragedy/Cautionary Tale barrels into your sensorium.

Of course, the world is designed to be this way, so you're confused and vulnerable and brainwashed into an endless buying cycle. But you don't have to be an actor in the dumb show, a continuous Society of Spectacle spectator/schadenfreude victim of endlessly looping tragedy.

The Sting

But wait! Your tragedy is actually a comedy! And EVERYONE'S NAKED.

Try this: take a step back from the media one day a week -- or more, if you can. Turn off the computer. Turn off the TV. Turn off your phone. Don't read your email. Don't Twabble. Don't read magazines or newspapers. And for God's sake, STOP READING BLOGS. What a waste of time.

Believe it or not, watching, reading or listening to all this crap is like hitting yourself in the head with a ball peen hammer over and over again: it feels really good when you stop.

So, unplug for a while. Sit in the sun. Read an actual physical door-stopping book. Enjoy a comedy. Life is, after all, a comedy, in both the ancient and very real modern sense.

Oh, and Sting's real name is Gordon Sumner. Like all good comedies, it always needs to end with a near-NAKED Sting.

Ew. Jeez, dude. You can tell wardrobe, "NO" you know.

Dominic Colindres race report from Santa Rosa Mile

Yve Assad of TheFastandDirty.com

Last weekend was the AMA Pro Grand National event held at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, California. This race was the closest race to my house out of all the races in this season. I felt a little uncomfortable heading into this event because it was a cushion and I'm still a little off pace on cushions. It was also a mile with tight corners, which I don't have much experience on. I would be heading into this event fifth in points and hopefully go into fourth in the overall points.

During the first couple of qualifying sessions the bike was a little off for gearing and we made changes every time I got off the track. I ended up qualifying ninth the first session and fifth the next. This would put me in the front row for the heat race.

We made another change right before the heat and felt like we were ready for another heat win. I got a little tangled with some riders off the start and ended up fourth into the first turn. After lap two I moved into first and stayed there for the rest of the heat. I felt very good and felt that I could have a shot at winning the main. We didn't make any more changes after the heat.

For the main I had second choice on the front row. I picked the outside next to Vanderkuur. I got the hole shot but was passed down the back straight. Vanderkuur was on rails and he quickly pulled away. I was in a good four rider battle the whole race with Shoemaker, Spencer, and Anderson.

I was having trouble hooking up down low so I moved to the outside and started following Spencer. I ended up a close fifth.

I feel good with my result because I see that I'm getting way better on cushions and miles. I'm also learning how to adapt to new tracks a lot faster which is key to doing good at a national. I am now tied for fourth in points and with some good results at the next two races, third place in points doesn't seem to be impossible to make happen.
