Have any (or even all) of your clients pigeonholed you?
We become "pigeonholed" whenever a client labels us the person they go to for one thing but meanwhile, we offer many other things they're buying from someone else.
This can present a bit of a challenge for us because we don't want to go over the top with the "Did you know we also offer ______" stuff.
There are many things I do to keep the various things I offer front and center with my clients.
Today, I want to focus on just one!
First, I made up a single sheet with 10 services I offer.
Note: I didn't want the sheet to contain lots of words or narrative of any kind.
Why? Because people are far too busy to read that stuff! It's also very typical and I'm not typical.
Next, I wasn't digging the whole "10 Things I Do For My Clients" or "10 Ways I Can Work With You" thing . . .
While speaking to something my clients need . . .
They need help becoming sales rock stars!
So, I changed the title and went with . . .
"10 Ways I Rock With My Clients" Simple, elegant and no sh*tty marketing speak!
I sent it off to my designers and let them work their magic.
Here's what they came up with . . .
It's fun, its informative and its brief enough to get read.
It's also a versatile piece . . .
I can send this to my clients in an email.
I can include it as a page in my proposals.
I can upload it onto my LinkedIn profile.
I can send it off via snail mail with an intro letter or with a handwritten post it note.
Do I think this crazy little PDF will change the world?
Hell no . . . but I do believe it will help me in my efforts to educate while reinforcing my brand!
I'm also of the belief that's it's a breath of fresh air because it ISN'T typical!
The results have been incredible to say the least. For the last 6 years I've created more opportunity for additional products and services.
Not bad a single sheet of paper with very few words!
I have several other suggestions on how YOU can keep yourself from getting pigeonholed and will be sharing ALL of them during our How To GROW Your Existing Accounts webinar.

Miller, Scot M., Charles E. Miller, Roisin Commane, Rachel Y.-W. Chang, Steven J. Dinardo, John M. Henderson, Anna Karion, et al. 2016. "A Multiyear Estimate of Methane Fluxes in Alaska from CARVE Atmospheric Observations." Global Biogeochemical Cycles 30 (10): 1441–53. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016gb005419.
Methane (CH4) fluxes from Alaska and other arctic regions may be sensitive to thawing permafrost and future climate change, but estimates of both current and future fluxes from the region are uncertain. This study estimates CH4 fluxes across Alaska for 2012-2014 using aircraft observations from the Carbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment (CARVE) and a geostatistical inverse model (GIM). We find that a simple flux model based on a daily soil temperature map and a static map of wetland extent reproduces the atmospheric CH4 observations at the statewide, multiyear scale more effectively than global-scale process-based models. This result points to a simple and effective way of representing CH4 fluxes across Alaska. It further suggests that process-based models can improve their representation of key processes and that more complex processes included in these models cannot be evaluated given the information content of available atmospheric CH4 observations. In addition, we find that CH4 emissions from the North Slope of Alaska account for 24% of the total statewide flux of 1.74 +/- 0.26 Tg CH4 (for May-October). Global-scale process models only attribute an average of 3% of the total flux to this region. This mismatch occurs for two reasons: process models likely underestimate wetland extent in regions without visible surface water, and these models prematurely shut down CH4 fluxes at soil temperatures near 0 degrees C. Lastly, we find that the seasonality of CH4 fluxes varied during 2012-2014 but that total emissions did not differ significantly among years, despite substantial differences in soil temperature and precipitation.

Francoise Villeneuve: What inspired you to pursue cooking professionally?
Chris Ford: It started with my grandmother at the age of six. I was always around food in the kitchen; I guess that's where it was instilled in me. I've always cooked for my family. I wanted to pursue music and realized, 'I cook all the time. I might as well pursue it professionally.' Then I went to culinary school and it all happened. The first job I had was at Norman's of Norman Van Aken at the Ritz-Carlton. I worked with Clay [Miller] for two years there, then at ChikaLicious in New York, and was [Chef/Owner Chika Tillman's] pastry sous chef/pastry chef for two years, and then I came to Trummer's.
FV: Who were your mentors and what did you learn from each of them?
CF: From Chika I learned a lot. She was my main mentor. She taught me a world of things: flavor combinations, composition, the kitchen—overall a five-star performance in a kitchen. She taught me how to work with the ingredients, let them speak to you and they'll tell you what they need. You don't have to overpower it or over think it.
FV: Did you go to culinary school? Do you hire chefs with and without a culinary school background?
CF: I went to Le Cordon Bleu. I would prefer a bit of experience in someone I hire, although it doesn't have to be schooling. I gravitate toward real-world kitchen experience more than schooling.
FV: What advice would you offer to young cooks just getting started?
CF: Don't stop. Learn as much as you can. I spent every waking moment for the past five years doing what I'm doing. Be a sponge; take criticism, let everything absorb, be open, and learn as much as you can.
FV: What are your top three tips for pastry success?
CF: Don't stop believing in yourself, work hard, and have an open mind.
FV: What is your pastry philosophy?
CF: Don't over-complicate it. If it's peach, I want it to taste like peach. I want super-fresh and clean flavors. Keep it simple.
FV: Where do you like to go for pastry?
CF: Bouchon Bakery is one of my favorites. The Red Velvet Cupcakery in DC is really good. There's a chocolate store in downtown DC called Bellaggio; chocolates from all around the world, and so I go there instead of going to a pastry shop.
FV: What are some of your favorite flavor combinations?
CF: My favorite? I think, to be very boring, the most classic is chocolate and vanilla. Very boring, but I love those two ingredients and together they make sense.
FV: What's your favorite pastry resource?
CF: Other than StarChefs.com, I have a lot of books. I would say my go-to would be eating out; I like to go out and experience other chefs and what they're doing. I might see them working with pineapple one way and say, 'oh I didn't even think about that.' It really provokes your mind. When I can't go out, I'll go with books and blogs.
FV: How are you involved in your local culinary community?
CF: Last year I did Life is Sweet, and this year I'm doing it again. It's an event that pairs up pastry chefs with buddies with special needs. We create a dessert, plate it, and serve it to 1,000 people. I just enrolled in "Chefs Move to Schools" too. At Trummer's on Main we do as many events as we can, like Taste of the Nation and Share Our Strength programs.
FV: What would you be doing right now if you weren't a pastry chef?
CF: I would be a photographer. I would say for the past two years I'm into anything creative. I paint a lot; anything I can do with my hands I love. Photography is a passion I've really started pursuing over the last three years.
FV: What's next for you?
CF: I had this goal to publish my first book by age 30; either a cookbook or food photography, kind of an all-in-one. I wanted to do something with recipes and photography and then my story. Everything I do in my blog in a book for the home cook, the professional, and the beginner, to give insight into how to get where I am as a chef.

RR, WB, WCG and Monster Records
April 20, 2015 April 20, 2015 Brad Beheler 1 Comment
"Well, it's not really a monster track Mike."
Jerry Jeff Walker spoke those tongue-in-cheek words over 40 years ago as the tapes rolled on his recording "Gettin' By". It was a knowing wink that while the song was simple and somewhat off the cuff, Jerry Jeff knew he was on the brink of a movement. It may not have been a monster track, but it was part of a monster moment. Texas Music has had a few of those throughout the past five decades. We're on the cusp of another one this week with the twin releases of two highly anticipated albums. The Randy Rogers-Wade Bowen duets record Hold My Beer, Vol. 1 and William Clark Green's Ringling Road. The anticipation for each is for different reasons.
Ever since Pat Green and Cory Morrow released the rollicking, Lloyd Maines produced Songs We Wish We'd Written Vol. 1 in 2001 there has been a void of that type of vibe and music in this scene. It was a shoot from the hip, free-wheeling ride through some of their favorite tunes. Morrow has never sounded finer and Green has never sounded like he's having more fun than on that collection. Into that void, 14 years later, steps Rogers and Bowen. For many years these two have taken their Hold My Beer acoustic songswap concept and made it half house party-half listening room. This record bends more toward the party aspect. It reeks, in the best possible way, of late 70s/early 80s country music debauchery. This new Hold My Beer record sounds as if the ol' Bocephus "All My Rowdy Friends" video has come to life. That's the vibe it has. It's fun, it's honky-tonk, it's true. Simply, it's country music. After coming out of the other side of the Nashville factory and living to tell about it, Rogers and Bowen are enjoying what they have and not chasing what they don't. That satisfaction and relief is evident in this Maines' produced collection. One of the most hyped and heavily anticipated releases in this scene's history lives up to its billing.
William Clark Green burst on the scene, as so many before him, via toiling away writing songs and singing in the bars of Lubbock. His career built relatively slowly as it grew on the back of each album release. His last album, Rose Queen, was a testament to being in the right place at the right time with the right songs (and producer…Rachey Loy). Loy's back at the wheel again and WCG has bolstered his sound by adding more guitars (Josh Serrato of 6 Market Blvd fame) and a broader scope of sounds and styles. It's another bevy of songs that feature a wide range of thematic elements including relationships and small-town Texas life. Watching an artist enter their creative peak is one of the most thrilling aspects of being a music fan. Much like athletes, musicians have career arcs and William Clark Green is poised at the top of his roller coaster. He's got the buzz and growing audience to soak up these new songs and sustain that peak for quite a while.
Hold My Beer, Vol. 1 and Ringling Road are different albums, but cut from the same cloth. They come from different inspirations and points, but seek the same truth. They're a raw, real alternative to bros, dirt roads and sugar shakers. Even at their most fun, they're packed with thought. We've all been craving something with a little depth, a little heart and a touch of commercial appeal without sounding slick. These records do that. They're not really monster albums, but they're each as important (for different reasons) as any Texas record of the past five years.

One thought on "RR, WB, WCG and Monster Records"
I spent four years trying EVERYTHING in Online Dating, and through a huge amount of trial and error, I produced a system that I will share for you. This book will take you, step by step, through everything you need to know to double, triple or even quadruple the number of women you meet online.


Almost every girl I know dreams of the fairytale wedding we so often see in movies or the pages of a bridal magazine. While some may have the luxury of splurging on their big day, others simply have to work within a budget. But do not fret, the beauty of a wedding is not really directly related to how much you spend for it. Aside from the priceless emotions of love and laughter, the trick really is in the style details. And that's where B&B comes in.
Being a lover of all things beautiful, I hope to share with you my own wedding experience, the creme de la creme weddings and super gorgeous wedding-related things that can inspire you to get your style to the aisle. Whether you need to keep tabs on the expenses or it's sky's the limit for your big day, if it's fresh, unique and pretty, it's here!
But first things first! Let me introduce myself. I'm Janna and I love pretty things. Ever since I started planning my wedding, I simply got hooked on the beauty and creativity it requires. I constantly seek for inspiration in books, blogs and anything in between. I am blessed to be totally in love with my husband who is also my best friend. And a mom to our first little darling Matti who adds so much color to my life. I am passionate about style, wedding fashion, and anything artsy and elegant. I love to write, I love to daydream, and I love to be girly. As a wedding curator, I constantly strive to get ideas to innovate and better my eye for detail. As a blogger, I try to filter out the best of what this industry has to offer hoping that I would be able to help and inspire all of you.
So with that, I say cheers to you, yes you… the beauty of this story. You deserve the best groom, the best wedding and the best memories of one of the grandest days of your life!
Janna Loves Pretty Things. That's why she loves me.
Great Job dear! Praying for great things through this blog!
janna simpao. i'm so proud of you. you really have good taste (from clothes, weddings and even bathroom paint colors) and i'm so happy i can always ask you!
I first chanced upon your wedding pictures via the facebook pics found at Pat Dy's personal page. I found your wedding classy and fun! Congratulations and continue to inspire a lot of people with your blog.
hi ms. janna, what kind of fabric did you use for the bridesmaids' dresses? thanks!
I used silk chiffon 🙂 It's great for draping!
I saw your wedding video at Pat Dy's website. Your gown was so gorgeous! Just want to ask who designed and made it? Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Kate! Thanks for visiting B&B. My wedding dress is by Monique Lhuillier. Thank you for the compliment! Although I'm wondering, you did mean wedding photos, and not wedding video right? I will be blogging about our wedding soon. See you again here!
Hi Janna, I just stumbled upon your blog today, and I want to bop myself in the head for not knowing about this sooner! The weddings you featured are all oh-so-gorgeous! I looked through every single post (which brings me to your first one, hehe).
I'm getting married in October next year, and I will definitely be a frequent visitor to get lots of ideas. I'm working with a verrry limited budget, but your blog challenges and inspires me to pull off a beautiful wedding without going bankrupt.
How exciting! Preparations are both fun and draining, so be sure you take time to breathe, pray, and remind yourself that what matters most is love! I hope B&B will inspire you to make your wedding as stylish as possible. Some weddings we've featured also had a very tight budget, and yet they have super amazing celebrations!
Am a fan . 😉 i love how you narrate all the pretty details of one lovely wedding unto a read worthy blog. Being a starting detail coordinator in our little town, i can check you blog for inspirations, and surely it would be a hit! I saw your wedding pics featured in some of our local magazines and when I stumbled upon your blog way back October, I was very happy! I even browsed from your first blog 'till the present entry, and I'm always excited for your Monday entries and Fashion Friday posts ( very brilliant accounts that greatly inspires weddings suckers like me). your site is now climbing up the charts in my fave wedding related sites !
LURVE IT! Keep on blogging … you inspire me a lot … and will definitely tell my soon-wed-friends about your blog!
It really makes my day when I have readers who tell me how much they enjoy B&B! It encourages me to keep doing what I am doing! I hope to always see you here 🙂 Join our FB page and/or subscribe if you haven't still… so you can get regular updates 🙂 Thanks again for your kind, kind words!
Such an inspiration for a blogger like me!
You are an inspiration to filipina brides, and even artists, especially writers! Would you mind if i write about you on my blog, Wedding Pinays please?
Sure Elaine! You can send me an email through our contact page and we can communicate from there! Cheers!


That's 9 years of blogging. I've seen a lot change in that time, and my life has changed a lot since then. I've lived in 5 different houses in 3 different cities, changed jobs a few time, went from being married to not married to enganged to be married, saw my children grow, made new friends, found old friends, seen the web mature, seen businesses launch and fail… Whew, it's a little crazy when you think about it.
Through all this blogging, I've never really been a popular blogger. I don't live in the Bay Area, I don't work for some startup, I didn't come up with the word "Ajax" but along the way I think I did some interesting things… I've worked with RSS, aggregators, podcasting, videoblogging, and other things. Through all of that, I stick with it. I feel I'm dedicated if nothing else. What I lack in talent I make up for in tenaciousness. I've seen bloggers come onto the scene, become very popular, and then disappear. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
I will patiently await my lifetime achievement award. See, since Cam doesn't really keep CamWorld up to date, I believe my last target is Dave Winer. I've know Dave (in the internet sense of knowing someone) for probably 12 years now, and his time is coming. He admits that he is going to stop blogging at some point, and when he does, I can claim the title of LONGEST CONTINUALLY RUNNING WEBLOG ON THE INTERNET!!!
I'll just keep cranking out the posts until that happens… I've waited this long, what's another few months or years?
Posted on Saturday, August 5th, 2006 at 8:05 am. Subscribe to the comments feed. Both comments and pings are currently closed. Post on your own blog.
Re. the Title, if I remember correctly Dave did stop blogging briefly a couple of years ago as an "I'm not playing" move somehow related to criticism of his version of RSS. Ok, he only stopped blogging for a matter of hours, but it was intended as a symbolic gesture, and so it seems reasonable to accept the symbolism, i.e. he's not been blogging continuously.
I haven't really stopped blogging. I just don't update that frequently. My life is way too freaking busy this year to pay any attention to my blog these days.
But as I said in my most recent post, stay tuned frome big announcements in the next month or two.
Your blog is only as important as you make it. I have learned over the years that there are far more important things in life than ego.
I'm coming up on two years but was actually supporting others for about 2 years before that. It's kind of interesting how it all works out, eh?
And here I thought I was an old timer. ;-) Congratulations on reaching your millstone milestone Pete!

HMS Montgomery (G 95)
Destroyer of the Town class
Type Destroyer
Class Town
Pennant G 95
Built by Bath Iron Works (Bath, Maine, U.S.A.)
Laid down 26 Jun 1917
Commissioned 23 Oct 1940
End service 23 Feb 1944
HMS Montgomery was commissioned under the White Ensign on 23 October 1940, Cdr. H.F. Nash, (retired), RN, in command. The destroyer underwent further fitting out and familiarization before departing Canadian waters on 1 November, bound for the British Isles. En route, Montgomery and the other of her sister ships in company swept through the scene of the one-sided naval engagement between the armed merchant cruiser HMS Jervis Bay and the German "pocket battleship" Admiral Scheer. This action had occurred on 5 November when the German warship attacked a convoy escorted by the erstwhile merchant steamship. Jervis Bay had gallantly interspersed herself between the raider and the convoy, allowing the latter to escape while being herself smashed to junk and sunk. Montgomerg found nothing, however, and after searching briefly for the German "pocket battleship" with orders to shadow by day and attack by night arrived at Belfast, Northern Ireland on 11 November.
Shifting to Plymouth, England, a week later, Montgomery was allocated to the Western Approaches command and based at Liverpool. During the course of one of her early patrols, Montgomery rescued 39 survivors from the torpedoed motor tanker Scottish Standard which had been torpedoed and sunk by U-96 on 21 February 1941. Disembarking the rescued mariners on the 24th, Montgomery resumed her Western Approaches patrols soon thereafter.
The flush-decker underwent repairs at Barrow, Laneashire from April to September and was later assigned to the 4 th Escort Group. Based now at Greenock, Scotland, the destroyer operated between the British Isles and Canadian ports through the end of 1941. On 13 January 1942, the Panamanian-registered steamer SS Friar Rock was torpedoed and sunk by U-180 100 miles southeast of Cape Race' Newfoundland. Four days later Montgomery picked up seven survivors from that ship.
In February 1942, Montgomery came under the aegis of the Western Local Escort Force at Halifax. Later in 1942, the destroyer was loaned to the Royal Canadian Navy before she sailed south and underwent repairs at the Charleston (S.C.) Navy Yard which lasted into the following year 1943. Resuming her coastwise convoy escort operations in February 1943, Montgomery rescued survivors of the torpedoed Manchester Merchant sunk by U-628 on 25 February 1943, 390 miles off Cape Race.
The destroyer remained with the Western Local Escort Force into late 1943, operating out of Halifax. On 12 December 1943, she assisted the Bowater-Lloyd Paper Co. barge Spruce Lake and, on the 27th, departed Halifax for the British Isles, carrying the surviving crew members from the torpedoed British destroyer HMS Hurricane which had been sunk by U-415 on Christmas Eve.
Arriving in England soon thereafter, Montgomery was placed in reserve in the Tyne River on 23 February 1944. Removed from the "effective list" the British equivalent of the United States Navy's "Navy list" the veteran flush-decker was subsequently broken up for scrap in the spring of 1945 shortly before the end of the war in Europe.
Former name USS Wickes (DD 75)
Commands listed for HMS Montgomery (G 95)
1 Cdr. (retired) Henry Freston Nash, RN 23 Oct 1940 28 Feb 1941
2 Lt.Cdr. (emergency) William Lavallin Puxley, RN 28 Feb 1941 23 Jan 1943
3 Lt. Kenneth Innes Hamilton, DSC, RN 23 Jan 1943 early 1944
4 T/Lt. Robert Harrison, RCNR early 1944 16 May 1944
5 Lt. John Harry Fowler, RN 16 May 1944 late 1944
Notable events involving Montgomery include:
The Italian submarine Marcello (offsite link) was most likely sunk in the North Atlantic, south off Iceland, in approximate position 59°00'N, 17°00'W, by the British destroyer HMS Montgomery (Cdr. H.F. Nash, (retired), RN).
HMS H 50 (Lt. N. Marriott, DSC, RN) conducted exercises off Lough Foyle with HMS Montgomery (Lt.Cdr.(Emgy.) W.L. Puxley, RN), HMS St. Elstan (T/Lt. G. Butcher, RNVR) and HMS Anemone (Lt.Cdr. H.G. Boys-Smith, DSO and Bar, RD, RNR). (1)
British destroyer HMS Montgomery (Lt.Cdr. W.L. Puxley, RN) picks up 7 survivors from the Panamanian merchant Friar Rock about 110 miles south-west of Cape Race in position 45°30'N, 50°40'W.
British destroyer HMS Montgomery (Lt. K.I. Hamilton, DSC and Bar, RN) and the Canadian corvette HMCS Rosthern (T/Lt. R.J.G. Johnson, RCNVR) together pick up 32 survivors from the British merchant Manchester Merchant about 400 nautical miles east-south-east of Cape Race in position 45°10'N, 43°23'W.

Bread Basics
Bread Baking for Beginners: Everything You Need to Know
It's Not as Hard as You Think
Danilo Alfaro
Danilo Alfaro has published more than 800 recipes and tutorials focused on making complicated culinary techniques approachable to home cooks.
Updated on 02/6/20
Beginning bakers often find yeast breads intimidating, and it's not entirely unwarranted. Many of the stages of making a loaf of bread, like fermentation and proofing, take place with no input from the baker whatsoever, which can make the process seem especially mysterious, if not downright magical.
And yet our grandparents knew how to bake bread, and so did their grandparents. It's unlikely that they were wizards and magicians—at least not all of them. The only thing standing between you and bread-baking expertise is practice.
Now, since each bread recipe will feature a specific set of ingredients and use a particular technique, a bunch of one-size-fits-all bread baking tips might not actually be helpful. But we can certainly demystify the concept of bread, including what each ingredient does as well as the purpose of each step in the recipe.
We can offer one general tip, however, which is to follow the recipe you're using, especially if you're just learning how to bake yeast breads.
What Is Bread?
Bread is what you get when you bake a dough made from flour, water, and yeast. At a minimum, there's also going to be salt, but from this basic formula, the variations are virtually endless.
These variations are not limited only to additional ingredients like nuts, grains like rye, oats or cornmeal, dried fruits, to say nothing of eggs, fats, and sugar. The types of flour themselves can vary, depending on what type of bread you're making.
Flour is the primary ingredient in yeast bread, and in most cases, flour comes from wheat. It contains protein in the form of gluten, as well as starch. The protein and starch are what eventually give the bread its structure and texture. Flours with higher levels of gluten are called hard, and bread flour is an example of this. Lower gluten flours are called soft and are used for baking cakes and other delicate pastries. All-purpose flour is a blend of hard and soft flours.
Water is critical to baking bread. Yeast needs water to activate the process of fermentation. The gluten molecules in flour uncoil when they meet water, which allows them to lengthen later when the dough is mixed. The starches in the flour attract water and then gelatinize when heated. And dissolving in water also allows the salt and sugar to interact with the other ingredients. Even the temperature of the water can be an important factor in developing the dough.
Yeast is a biological leavening agent, that produces CO2 gas when activated, and is available in various forms including dried, fresh and instant. Different bread recipes will call for a certain type of yeast and while it's possible to convert between the three types, it's best to stick with whatever the recipe calls for. In addition to gas, yeast also produces alcohol as a byproduct of fermentation, which is how beer is made.
Sugar, Salt, and Fat
Sugar, salt, and fat contribute flavor but more crucially, they also interact with the glutens in various ways. Salt causes glutens to become more firm while also promoting elasticity. It also slows the growth of yeast, which means it's important not to use too much or too little, as doing so can cause over- or underfermentation. Sugar, by contrast, weakens the glutens, producing a finer, more tender texture, and it's also the yeast's food. Fat adds moistness but also shortens the strands of gluten (i.e. "shortening"), thus producing a more tender bread.
Mixing the Dough
Mixing is the process of combining your ingredients to form a dough. This can be done with a machine or by hand (aka kneading) or a combination of both. What happens during mixing is that the yeast is distributed throughout the dough while also developing the glutens that give the finished bread its structure and texture.
During fermentation, the yeast consumes the sugar in the dough and produces CO2 gas. Meanwhile, the glutens, which were developed during the mixing stage, relax, making the dough easier to work with and less prone to shrinkage during baking. Fermentation typically lasts an hour or two. When the dough has doubled in volume and a finger poked into the dough leaves a dent, fermentation is complete.
Makeup refers to shaping the dough into loaves, or rolls, or whatever the final shape will be, and placing it in whatever pan or baking sheet the bread will be baked on. If the dough is not shaped evenly it can split during baking. The makeup phase is also where any large air bubbles are forced out, which would otherwise create large holes in the bread.
Proofing the Dough
During the proofing phase, the dough continues to ferment and increase in volume. Proofing time varies depending on how rich the dough, the strength of the flour and the desired texture. But generally speaking the longer the dough proofs, the fluffier the bread will be. High-fat doughs are less elastic, and thus need less proofing to ensure that the gluten strands don't break.
Baking the Bread
The first thing that happens when the dough hits the oven is that the heat causes a sudden rush of gas to be produced by the yeast. This is known as oven spring, and since the yeast is killed once the dough reaches 140 F, this is the last rise the dough will have. While baking, the glutens become firm and the starches gelatinize, while the top of the bread turns brown. Browning of the crust can be enhanced by introducing steam, and the tops of loaves can also be brushed with milk or egg wash to increase browning. Often loaves will be slashed on top with a sharp knife before baking to help the dough expand more fully without rupturing.

Feeling into the Body
Heads up bodywork nerds — this Friday we're doing another (free) seminar, this one called "Feeling into the Body: Learning palpatory vision from the feet and ribcage." We'll be exploring how skilled bodyworkers are able to pull off a seemingly "voodoo" move: contact some distal or exterior part of the body, and then get detailed spatial information about a structure that's far away or deeply buried under opaque tissues.
As a teacher who hangs out with researchers, teachers, students, and consumers of bodywork, I often encounter two erroneous attitudes on this subject: One, that such a skill does not actually exist, and two, that it cannot be taught.
To the second notion, I'll simply say that "You either got it or you don't" is a hallmark saying of burnt-out teachers and ego-stricken artisans, and has no place in a classroom. People vary in their learning ability, but rarely is there no point in trying. More often, "it" has not been sufficiently explicated, and so we treat "it" as needlessly mysterious.
To the first point, I readily admit that I can't yet use words to convince an ardent skeptic. I've not seen an RCT or a meta-analysis on the subject of "feeling in". Most scientific attempts to investigate palpatory skill use a research methodology called "intrarater/interrater reliability", and the variables measured (such as in trigger point evaluation or vertebral mobility assessment) are too sparse to give us much insight into the richer (but squishier) world of palpatory vision.
However, I think I can make a decent appeal to reason. Palpatory vision does not require some extra sense, nor is it limited to a small segment of the population. All it requires is a mental map of how things connect to each other, and some time spent interacting with the anatomy.
Imagine driving a car — one familiar to you — and suddenly blowing a flat tire. Vibrations of rubble and asphalt shake the frame, fill the air inside the car, jar the steering wheel, the window pane, the driver's seat. Do you need to go out and look at which tire is flat? Or can you simply feel into the car and notice which wheel is bumping?
Imagine swinging a baseball bat with your eyes on an incoming ball. POW, the ball is struck, and you are off running. But feel your hands in that moment: could you tell whether the ball was hit nearer the handle or the tip? Could you sense whether it was a glancing blow or dead-on?
This sensation-by-proxy is a fascinating skill, seemingly universal to all humans, and we're only beginning to articulate the mechanisms behind it. But the same ability we have to feel into familiar objects, discern information about their inner workings, and sense through them their contact with surroundings… that can be taught in bodywork. By holding the feet, for example, we can learn to sense tensional asymmetry along the spine, or feel peritoneal adhesions resist the movement of breath. By placing a receptive hand on the sternum, the entire thorax comes alive with spatial detail.
Is this skill dependable enough that it should be used in the absence of conversation or direct palpation? Not in my experience. Should it be used to contradict imaging or physician's advice? Obviously not. But it's a powerful tool in the art of anyone who uses their hands to treat human bodies, and it's high time we had a straightforward vocabulary for teaching it.
(Pre-Reading for Friday: KEG's article in Massage Today Leon Chaitow's excellent text, Palpation & Assessment Skills.)


Hey Guys! My husband & I have recently started up our drone business and have accepted a job for a company. We thought it would be a nice gesture as well as a great way to promote our business to alert local business that we will be flying our drone around the area. Do you guys have any recommended resources that provide examples of a professional way to address this? We have love the advice & contract ideas from DroneLaw.Pro, but we unfortunately don't have the budget to purchase the documents at this time. Thanks in advance!
Aerial Photographer Needed! Quick job pays $100!
Are there any updates on this situation?
It's right in 107 §107.41 Operation in certain airspace. No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft in Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace or within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport unless that person has prior authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC). The types of Class E are: E1 – Class E Airspace at and above 14,500 feet MSL E2 – Class E airspace areas designated as a surface area for an airport. E3 – Class E Airspace Areas Designated As An Extension To A Class C Surface Area E4 – Class E Airspace Areas Designated as an Extension to a Class D or Class E Surface Area E5 – Class E Airspace Areas Extending Upward From 700 Feet Or More Above The Surface of The Earth E6 – En route Domestic Airspace Areas E7 – Offshore Airspace Areas E8 – Class E Airspace Areas Designated As Federal Airways Class E2 is what is contained in 107.42 and not E3 or E4 which are designated as an Extension. Further, you can compare what the UAS facility map covers for an airport with Class E extensions and note that the grids do not include that airspace. A comparison of the airport in Olympia Washington for example.
Yuneec Typhoon H "Issue with acquiring GPS, IPS mode will not enable.
Hey everyone, I am looking for other pilots that have the Yuneec Typhoon H, (NOT the Plus or Pro) My issue is after I have done the firmware update for the ST16 Controller and the Typhoon H. My H will not take off or even start the blade rotation, it shows on the top right that I have linked to 18 GPS sats and on the left, I have linked with up with 16 and under that is shows that the H is trying to Aquire. Now I have watched several videos on how to update the H from Yuneec and still have the issue. I have also tried to put the Typhoon H into IPS mode and it does not enable! I have opened a ticket with Yuneec to help me with the issue but because of business hours, I won't know anything till Monday. I am curious if any others have encountered the same issues and what you have done to fix the problem. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Anyone heard of this Drones Job Board?
Anyone else heard of this job board for drones, www.unmannedcareers.com? My friend sent it to me, seems interesting, lots of jobs.
In your lecture 3.4 class 'E' airspace at the 2:00 minute mark you discuss the class E extensions that 'technically you don't need authorization to fly in those extensions'. Can you locate the FAR that supports that assertion.
It seems like California is trying to overstep its boundaries again. The designated uav areas are regulated by the FAA(ama fields).
I want start (New drone school), how?
Another thing that I've enjoyed about sharing work in this thread is to see how everyone has progressed. When I started that thread @JBR LIFE Photography Was kind enough to compliment some of my work, I occasionally get the opportunity to shoot for friends, (I don't produce real estate media for a living) which is a very different thing than those that do this under the constraints of making a living. When we all get to witness the improvement of @JBR LIFE Photography, who is doing this for a living in a competitive market we can all take a little pride in his work (because I tought him everything he knows...) it really is community we can all share in. There have been a lot of great contributions to the property videos thread.

Bijapur (city)
Bijapur now Vijayapur - (Kannada: ವಿಜಾಪುರ) is a city of the Karnataka State in the Bijapur district. Bijapur is located 530 km northwest of Bangalore and about 550 km from Mumbai
From 1490 to 1686, Bijapur was ruled by the Adil Shahi dynasty which left the most important monuments of the town.
The railway station (Station Code : BJP) is linked with Bangalore, Hyderabad and other major cities. There are four trains per day from Badami to Bijapur, the journey takes two and a half hours.
Bijapur is also well connected with other cities by bus. There are five buses from Badami to Bijapur per day. The journey lasts four hours.
From Mumbai, there are direct bus services to Bijapur (but very few). The most convenient option is to take a bus to Belgaum (there are more than 25-30 buses). From Belgaum Central bus stand, there are regular express buses (every 15-20 minutes) to Bijapur. The journey takes 3 hours or so.
Mahatma Gandhi Square (chowk) is the main place and it is situated in the heart of the city. It is the main market place for the locals and also for the people from towns nearby. There are a lot of rickshaws in town. Their drivers knows all the major attractions of the town. Since no rickshaw has a meter, you need to negotiate their prices very hard.
A very quaint way to get around, especially for tourists, is by tonga or horse buggy as its called. There is a horse buggy stand at MG Square. Alternatively, outside Gol Gumbaz, there are many horse buggies waiting for business. Negotiate a round figure for the whole day and the tonga will take you to all the important places. A small tip at the end (in the name of the horse - tell the driver to buy something special for the horse) will get you a friend for life.

Join us for a friendly game of golf at Belmont Hills Golf Course.
Email Cheryl to be added to the weekly Paperless Post invitation list as we need to know how many tee times to reserve.
When: Every Monday (except holidays and tournament days), first tee time at 9:30 AM September through May. During June, July and August – 8:30 AM.
Cost: $45 for 9 or 18 holes includes a shared cart (cart path only) or push cart. Some of us walk the front and ride the back. It's the same price whichever way you get around the course – the best golf deal in Bermy and only available on Mondays.
Walking vs riding: I suggest walking 9 holes until you develop straighter shots. If you're driving you have to keep the cart on the path at Belmont and you end up doing more walking back and forth across the fairway from cart to ball and back for different clubs. When you walk with a push cart you go directly to your ball and always have the right clubs with you.
Pace of play: The course is selling time slots of 4 to 4 1/2 hours on the course and expect each group to clear each hole in 10 to 15 minutes. That's hard when you're starting out.
Here's three ways to have fun while playing within your time slot.
1. Pick up the ball halfway down the fairway and move on to the next tee.
2. Forget about the tee boxes – tee up halfway down the fairway and play out from there.
3. Or just play the green – chip from just off the green and putt out.
Ready Golf: Anticipate your next shot – you should take several clubs with you for when it's your turn. Take the club you think you'll need and one up and one down. Don't slow down the pace of play by walking to your ball without any clubs in hand.
Practice Swings: A practice swing on the tee box helps you to warm up. Then with difficult shots it's a good idea to take 1 or 2 or even 3 practice swings to get the feel of the "lie." But if you need more you should consider spending some time with a pro who can help you develop an efficient pre-shot routine.
Golf Etiquette: Please be quiet while others are preparing to swing. Don't stand in the way – either in front or in back – it's dangerous and distracting.
Playing Through: If a group of golfers is waiting behind you for a couple of holes invite them to play through by waving them through. They'll appreciate it and it takes the pressure off you. Then move to the side of the fairway. Take cover behind your cart or a tree – they might get a little nervous about having an audience and shank the shot. There is a downside to letting a group play through – it takes time for them to play out the hole while you wait for them and you're now over your allowed time and another group may be right behind them waiting. So only do this if the course isn't busy. It's better to skip holes to keep up pace of play.
Questions or concerns: Call me at 331-6000.

Film Title: Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban
(English translation: World Roaming Bachelor)
Directed by M. G. Ramachandran (M.G.R.)
Produced by Em Gee Yar Pictures
Country of Production: India
Mr.Murugan (M.G.R) is an Indian scientist who has recently discovered how to store a part of the energy unleashed from lightning. He announces this during a Hong Kong Scientists' Conferencem though he says that he will not reveal his discovery since the world is at the brink of World War III and his research may be used for destructive purposes. Scientist Mr. Bairavan denounces Murugan that he is merely showing off without having conducted any concrete research. So, Murugan demonstrates his new stored energy and destroys the vital research notes, an act which upsets the other scientists.
Murugan then departs with his girlfriend Vimala for a world tour. He tells Vimala that he actually pretended to destroy the research notes and he has kept the notes in a safe place. He is willing to use them and conduct further research so that it can be used for productive purposes. Bairavan who has been following them hears this and follows them wherever they go. Bairavan wants the research notes so that he can sell them to some countries for a hefty sum.
Bairavan shoots Murugan with a special gun, but not killing him. Vimala faints on seeing this. Murugan becomes mentally affected and is taken into Bairavan's custody. Now comes Mr.Raju (M.G.R) a CBCID officer and Murugan's younger brother who arrives in Singapore in search of his brother. How he finds his brother and what happens to the others form the rest of the story. (Source: Wikipedia)
1. Keppel Harbour and Sentosa Island
Singapore. A view of Keppel Harbour and Sentosa as shot from Mount Faber.
Keppel Harbour in 1972/73, before the World Trade Centre (now HarbourFront) and the Cable Car Tower were built.
Sentosa Island (or Pulau Blakang Mati) before the development of major tourist attractions. Two of the colonial era buildings sit atop the hill on the island. They were built by the British between the 1880s to 1930s to accommodate the garrisons for the coastal defence of the island and the harbour. Now the conserved buildings house hotels and attractions such as the "Images of Singapore", Moevenpick Heritage Hotel, and Capella Hotel.
2. Paramount Hotel?
(updated on 12 May 2013: Top-floor restaurant in the Sea View Hotel.)
Aerial views of the city from a restaurant in a skyscraper hotel. My guess is that the location is the Paramount Hotel along East Coast Road (now East Village Hotel; but currently closed due to a recent fire breakout). The lower left film-still shows the reclaimed land off the East Coast of Singapore.
(Updated on 12 May 2013: The location as depicted in this set of film-stills was most definitely the Sea View Hotel at Amber Close. MGR had an aerial view of the surrounding cityscape from the top-floor restaurant in the hotel.)
(Updated on 12 May 2013) From the National Archives PICAS website: A view from the top-floor restaurant in Sea View Hotel, of the reclamation area at Katong on the east coast of Singapore. 1969.
(Updated on 12 May 2013) From the National Archives' PICAS website: Sea View Hotel at Amber Close. 1970.
It was in business between 1969 and 2003. A new condominium sits on the former site of the Sea View Hotel now.
Immediately preceding the shots of the "restaurant in the sky" in the last set of film-stills, M.G.R. and a female actress were filmed entering what looked to be hotel lobby and there they ask to meet a person at the reception. Notice the "key box" in the lower right film-still. This could be the hotel lobby of the former Paramount Hotel in 1972/73.
(Updated on 12 May 2013: This could be hotel lobby of the Sea View Hotel at Amber Close.)
3. Haw Par Villa or Tiger Balm Gardens
One of the most popular tourist destinations in Singapore during the 1970s — Tiger Balm Garden, otherwise known as Haw Par Villa (虎豹别墅). There is a five-minute segment in the film that is set in the Tiger Balm Garden, with M.G.R. leading a group of children (from various races) to sing and dance to the song "Sirithu Vaazhavendum" (literal translation: "Should Be Laughing").
Don't quarrel and fight. Life is too short. Be merry and laugh away…
Chinese mythological park, statues of Chinese deities and mythic characters, Tamil song and film, Indian actors, Bollywood-style dancing, multi-racial make-up of the children. What a melting pot.
Most of the statues seen in the film still exist to this day. Upper left: Laughing Buddha. Upper right: Dioramas are aplenty in the villa. Lower left and right: Shakyamuni Buddha atop a chinese-style pagoda.
Villians in the film attempt to hide behind the statues.
Bollywood dancing with Sumo-wrestling!
The song ends with a Bollywood actor (Nagesh) and the children incorporating the "antics" of the ape into their dance moves.
I have uploaded this catchy song and dance sequence from the film onto Youtube. Watch it here.
From the film, we can also tell that Haw Par Villa in 1972/73 was located just next to the sea. Before the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) Pasir Panjong Wharves "claimed control" over the west coast of Singapore.
INTERMISSION. Probably required for a three-hour long film.
The segments set in Singapore take up no more than twenty minutes. M.G.R. will roam the other parts of the world in the film — Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Europe, Bangkok and Osaka…

Borno farm massacre: Military makes fresh claims, hints on actual number killed
Friday, December 04, 2020 Fashola MC POSCABA 0 Latest News in Nigeria
The military has come up with further claims regarding the killing of rice farmers in Borno State.
Addressing reporters in a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, military Spokesman, Major General John Enenche, suggested that the farmers were interacting with the insurgents before they were killed.
According to the military, its sources informed it that the farmers, about 70 of them, were invited by the insurgents the day they were murdered.
"I want to say that the armed forces we have now and security agents is normally determined by the people," he said.
"It's not in our powers or to say yes or no. It is the kind of force package …each time I brief, talk to you here, I say Air Force will make an enhanced force package of fighter jets, helicopter gun-shooter then take out opposition.
"The same thing with the army; the same thing with the navy. So, for every government it is what you want. It is not for the military to begin to join issues or begin to contest.
"From the testimony we got from a credible source who escaped, part of them said that they (Boko Haram) called about 70 of them. They invited them to come.
"And when they were going they thought it was the usual interaction they used to have. That brings a lot of things. That brings a lot of things for all of us to learn.
"That means they were having interactions with them [Boko Haram] under some arrangements or whatever subject to further confirmations. We are still working on that."
Recall that Abubakar Shekau, leader of the dreaded Boko Haram sect on Tuesday, revealed that the group killed 78 farmers and not 43.
Shekau's claim of 78 is slightly above the figure (70) the military is now projecting.
Also, against the claim of invitation and interactions by the military, Boko Haram was said to have attacked the farmers while they were harvesting rice at Zabarmari community in Jere Local Government Area of Borno State.
Over 40 deaths were earlier reported and Governor Babagana Zulum told journalists that 43 farmers were killed.
However, in the video released on Tuesday, where Shekau boasted about the killing, the terrorist leader said they killed "at least 78 farmers".

Why would a planned Turkish invasion of Syria motivate US troops' withdrawal?
According to Fox, President Trump may have ordered troops withdrawn from Syria due to President Erdoğan giving advanced warning of an imminent anti-PKK Turkish invasion. Why would this motivate the US to withdraw, instead of a Turkey-US collaboration? The above source suggests Erdoğan recommended such a withdrawal; why would Turkey seek it?

Did Fox by any chance cite sources for the claim that Trump ordered the troops withdrawn because of ... or did they say anything additionally? – Trilarion Dec 21 '18 at 13:53
@Trilarion When I posted the question, I tried and failed to find any evidence other than the video I've linked, and it doesn't do what you ask about. But it's kind of a shame we're now in a world where Fox needs sources rather than actually being a source. – J.G. Dec 21 '18 at 13:57
@JG Not sure it's a shame. Basically I was asking for more context and background information. Fox is supposed to be journalism, right? So either they have a source or it's their opinion. I wasn't sure which one of these it was. Now I take it just their opinion. – Trilarion Dec 21 '18 at 14:43
@JG Sorry, but I'm still not sure what you mean. Typically, there are primary and secondary sources. I just wanted to know which of them this is. It makes a difference if the president explained it directly or if somebody else said that this may likely be the reason. It doesn't matter that it's Fox. I would have asked in any case. In summary: It's not a direct quote by someone official in the government but it's the opinion of some Fox commentator? – Trilarion Dec 21 '18 at 15:13
@Trilarion As far as I'm aware, they've got nothing more direct than what they've talked about. – J.G. Dec 21 '18 at 15:14
This is Turkish-US cooperation, as it works out in practice.
Up to now the two countries have been rather at odds over Syria. The US's priorities have been twofold: destroy IS's territorial holdings, and avoid committing US ground forces wherever possible. A side benefit is doing anything to destabilise Syria to prevent Assad from regaining control of the country, since denying Russia and Iran a stable, reliable ally has no downside from the US point of view.
Turkish priorities are somewhat different. Their first priority is preventing the formation of anything resembling a Kurdish state on their border. Anything that weakens Assad is also good since Turkey doesn't really want a stable unfriendly power on their southern border backed by other powerful states, but that's a lower priority.
The US has long wanted Turkey to be more involved in Syria, since they have a competent military that could easily oppose IS and Assad. But Turkey wasn't particularly interested in opposing IS because it doesn't really pose a threat to them. They were happy to keep out of it and let the various factions in the civil war get on with it.
Hence the US had to resort to using the much less capable Kurdish militias and so-called 'moderate opposition' (which was largely a fiction created by wishful thinking or attempts to make things palatable to the US public).
Even last week (around 10th December?) the US announced the construction of new observation posts along the Syrian-Turkish border to help defend their Kurdish allies from Turkish intervene while they dealt with IS, amount with public warnings to Turkey not to take unilateral action against the Kurds.
Two things have changed in the last week. The Syrian Democratic Forces (basically Kurds) announced victory over the last major IS stronghold in northeast Syria. And it became clear that Turkey was going to take unilateral action against the Kurds regardless of what the US wished.
So US policy has pivoted. Now that IS is 'defeated' the Kurds are not needed. If Turkey essentially annexes the Kurdish parts of Syria, they will do a better job of a) securing it against an IS resurgence and b) prevent Assad from regaining control over the whole country. And more importantly, the more of Syria they control, the more leverage they have in the inevitable multi-party negotiations on the future of the country. This serves both the US and Turkeys interests. It isn't so much in the Kurds interests, but apparently they are expendable.
So the US gets of of the way before Turkey comes charging in, and gets to disengage forces entirely from Syria, while still achieving its main objectives. Is just that Turkey becomes its main ally (which was always the preferred plan) rather than the Kurds.

I suppose this will be controversial, but I think this is Trump's standard operating proceedure as displayed in his business dealings: use your business partners until you find a profitable moment to pull out and leave them holding the bag. – jamesqf Dec 21 '18 at 2:56
I generally agree, except for the opinion that Turkey will do a better job of securing against an IS resurgence. The Kurds have shown far more effective on that one, and Turkey doesn't really care, and didn't even mind helping them and using them against the Kurds in the past – Mario Trucco Dec 21 '18 at 10:12
Very good answer up until the last sentence "..which was always the preferred plan..". Are there any sources to backup the claim that this was always the plan? Otherwise it seems to be overly speculative. – Trilarion Dec 21 '18 at 13:50
@jamesqf And much like his business dealings, when it all goes south, other people end up carrying the can. – Ian Kemp Dec 21 '18 at 14:40
"which was always the preferred plan" preferred by whom? Pragmatists and those interested in democratic rule of law tend to side with the Kurds as they are non-tyrannical, oppressed, and also way more effective at fighting insurgents than Turkey has been. A bit of a soapbox here but the Kurds have shown that an independent Kurdistan has been deserved for decades now. – TylerH Dec 21 '18 at 17:57
I would argue contra to the accepted answer by @PhillS..
It seems that Turkey has leverage to take advantage of the situation, and seems to have anticipated this type of response from the US government - specifically from Trump.. Not only is Trump clearly deflecting politically, he is in a minority here. The US ground troops are not entrenched, and closing operations can be quick. Trump has repeatedly campaigned and stated his desire to leave Syria. Now with him vulnerable, and with an advantageuos headline with IS beaten, the Turks merely pushed Trump into leaving, and he has used this opportunity to advance his own interests.
The US leaving, I would argue, will not only create a vacuum in northern Syria, but will in deepen cooperation between Turkey and Russia. The Russians now have a strong position to support Turkey, while the US will have no ground presence and no allies within Syria. Russia in fact doesn't need to share power in Syria, it only needs to veneer of influence, and unless Turkey really is willing to deploy massive troops to eradicate the Kurdish claims, which is debatable, both them and the Russians and better off shutting any such possibility by consolidating control of Assad in the area.
At the table, the Russians and Assad can have something significant to offer Turkey - the promise of no Kurdish state in the north. Perhaps this can achieved by Turkish-Russian-Syrian cooperation.
How this situation will play out to the US' advantage is not immediately clear to me at all. The resignation of Mattis seems to confirm that in the eyes of the US Defense Depart. this move weakens the US position.
The correct answer imo. This is another "Mission Accomplished". – Julien Lopez Dec 21 '18 at 7:50
Never get involved in a land war in Asia. – Mazura Dec 22 '18 at 17:11
And let's not discount the possibility that it's purely a political move (Trump said he'd troops out of Syria when he was campaigning, this does that; This helped to distract from the news coverage about his double reversal regarding passing a budget) – Joe Dec 22 '18 at 18:17
The US will benefit by avoiding having to spend tens of billions of dollars on a war that brings few tangible assets to US citizens. Now Russia will spend all that money instead and their budget is a lot smaller. – JonathanReez Dec 25 '18 at 22:26
Much like @PhillS's answer, could you provide more sources to these claims? – isakbob Jan 8 '19 at 17:00
The US has been supporting Kurdish forces against the organisation that calls itself (in English) "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant", but is often abbreviated to ISIL, ISIS, or just IS.
The same Kurds that the US has been supporting would be the target of a Turkish intervention. Turkey doesn't like IS, but the Kurdish desire to speak their own language in Turkey is anathema to the Turkish government. The Turkish government has been quite honest about that, saying on January 8 that it will not provide any security guarantees for the Kurds that have been allied with the US against IS and feeling rather insulted by the suggestion that they might.
If the US forces were to turn around and start fighting the Kurds in collaboration with Turkey, they would never again be able to enlist any kind of irregular forces as allies. Even withdrawing will do considerable damage to perceptions of the USA.

I would think that US public opinion rather favors the Kurds, so that being seen to obviously cooperate with Turkey - especially a Turkey led by a borderline Islamist - would hardly be good for the administration's public relations. – jamesqf Dec 21 '18 at 2:51
"the Kurdish desire to speak their own language in Turkey is anathema to the Turkish government." The Kurds want to establish their own state. The hypothetical Kurdistan would at least border Turkey, and at most even include territory that's currently part of Turkey. – user2752467 Dec 21 '18 at 3:46
@jamesqf I'm not sure the American public knows enough about the Kurds to have an opinion. – user2752467 Dec 21 '18 at 3:47
@Justin Lardinois: That's a fair point, so make that "the segment of the American public that knows about Kurdistan". But if the US did get obviously involved in anti-Kurd operations, it would likely make the news and more people would learn about it. – jamesqf Dec 21 '18 at 5:27
@JustinLardinois After Kurdistan was arbitrarily partitioned by the imperial powers, absolutely. This still might not have been such an issue, except that Turkey mounted a long-running campaign of massacres, human rights abuses and ethnic cleansing against the Kurds. The PKK has called several ceasefires, all of which have been broken by Turkey. Yes, they do want their own state - but that's in response to state persecution which is closer to Rwanda than, say, Northern Ireland. if Turkey backed off, it'd all stop - but it seems like they never will. – Graham Dec 21 '18 at 10:39
I think many actions of Turkey are easier to comprehend if you look at Hitler's actions prior to WW2. Sadly, Erdogan and Hitler have incredibly much in common. If you want to become a dictator, you need an "outgroup". Hitler used the Jews for this; Erdogan takes the Kurds. Erdogan needs to keep this "enemy" in focus to keep himself in power. This "thread" of the Kurds in Syria lets many Turks see in Erdogan a leader and protector. Also, as Phills said in his excellent answer, Erdogan wants his own part of Syria. To close my Hitler-comparison: "Lebensraum im Osten" - Space in the East.
EDIT: As noted, I forgot to mention the role of the US: because of the fact the Erdogan marked the Kurds as the enemy, he really wants to take some aggression towards them. While US-troops support the Kurds, an attack could easily lead to a war with the US. So it's strongly in the interest of Erdogan that the US withdraws their troops, though I wouldn't say that this was the reason for the withdrawal. I don't think that Trump would fear Turkey. But I think it was just an opportune moment to fulfill his promise to get the US troops home.

While I don't entirely disagree with your assessment, this seems only tangentially related to to the question. How does the US' presence enter into the equation? – Ruther Rendommeleigh Dec 21 '18 at 10:55
good point, yes. I'll edit my answer. – miep Dec 21 '18 at 13:32
Godwin's law triumphs again. – kubanczyk Dec 22 '18 at 23:41
@Knetic It makes more sense with the final paragraph. And Godwin doesn't apply in the face of decades of massacres and ethnic cleansing. Germany certainly wasn't the first or last state to do it, but it's the one everyone knows, and the comparison is perfectly apt when that is genuinely what is happening. – Graham Dec 23 '18 at 11:46
Well, it's not my fault when Erdogan himself says that he wants to emulate Hitler. When diskussing Erdogan, you can't diskuss without mentioning Hitler or else you would leave out relevant parts of the debate. – miep Dec 23 '18 at 17:58
In Syria, there are three main groups:
The Syrian government. The United States is not working with them.
Daesh/Islamic State. The US is actively opposed to them.
The Kurds. Allies of the US, with US military personnel embedded.
Turkey has a large Kurdish population, particularly in the southeast corner. Turkey claims that Kurdish terrorists are crossing from Syria into Turkey, participating in terrorists acts, and then returning to Syria. So they want to invade and attack the Kurds.
Turkey wants the US to leave, so the Turkish military doesn't accidentally kill US military personnel while attacking the Kurds.
It is not practical for the US and Turkey to work together, as Turkey's target is the very people with whom the US has been working. Both the Kurds and the US have been fighting Daesh. Kurdish terrorism does not threaten the US.
It is unclear what Turkey has offered in exchange for a US withdrawal. Nothing? A commitment to fight Daesh as well as the Kurds? It's also unclear how much the US has been supporting Turkish aims in Syria. Have they been advocating Kurdish extradition of terrorists to Turkey?
Making matters worse, some have asserted that Turkey isn't worried so much about Kurdish terrorism as simply Kurdish separatism. A strong Kurdish group in Syria (and Iraq) makes it easier for Turkish Kurds to assert their independence politically, as they can flee government persecution if necessary.
There have been terrorist actions in Turkey that have been blamed on Kurdish terrorists.
There is probably at least some truth on all sides. Some terrorist actions in Turkey caused by Kurds (possibly acting individually). A lack of support from Syrian Kurds in bringing those to justice. Turkish government attempts to squash political opposition by Turkish Kurds in the name of preventing Kurdish terrorism. These are not mutually exclusive possibilities. They can all be true (to some extent) at the same time. They may not be as true as they are claimed (e.g. the terrorists may not have official support; the Turks may really regard some alleged political enemies as terrorists).
TL;DR: the US and Turkish interests in Syria are opposed. There is no real scope for the two to work together at this time.

What would happen if Turkey decided to push an offensive in Northern Syria.. while US troops were still present? In fact... In all seriousness.. what would happen if US troops were actually and in practice.. forced to actually enter combat with Russia...Iran... Or Turkey.. And those countries responded by not backing down.. but actually using all the force at their disposal?
In short. The US is withdrawing because its presence in Syria is untenable. Turkey's threat to prosecute a war in 'US held territory' regardless of US objection caused the US to evaluate its position in reality.. rather than idealism.
On a level battlefield.. Given time to draw up all forces.. the US would defeat any nation or alliance in conventional warfare. But if open war broke out in Syria.. the us would maybe have 10000 troops on the field in a few days. In that time Russia might have that number of tanks on the field.
And what would happen were the war to escalate to NBC? The US mainland would be at risk.
It was always a mistake to believe that Russia.. Turkey... Iran... Syria or China would back down. Any future war is unwinnable.. and a conventional war in Syria is not something the US could effectively prosecute.
Pulling troops from Syria is simply the right thing to do. It took Turkey's threats to make the sleep walkers in the US military to do the hard sums.. and still there are those who can't wrap their heads around it..
I'm no fan of trump. But he gave Mattis carte blanche publically.. and Mattis sleep walked the US to the point of having to endure what would have been a swift and excruciating date with reality.
Then quit.

Fatal Flip -Lifetime movies - written and directed by Maureen Bharoocha
On August 29, 2015, Lifetime Channel will air Fatal Flip, a psychological thriller directed and co-written by Maureen Bharoocha. In the vein of Single White Female, and using the classic device of a couple - Dominique Swain and Michael Steger - trying to repair a fixer upper house they have just purchased, they invite a handyman (Mike Faiola) to help him without knowing anything of his background and find themselves in a whirlwind of fear. The other lead in the film is Tatyana Alli.
Writer Maureen Bharoocha - photo by Rohan Chitracker
Having come from a background of comedy, this is Maureen's first thriller. A big fan of Alfred Hitchcock and Brian de Palma she says , "I always wanted to play in this genre and feel it's important to stretch one's abilities." As a comedic director, she has spent a lot of time working at Amy Poehler's Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and has cast comedians Lauren Lapkus, Nicole Byer and Mary Holland, in her newest short film called Hairpin Bender.
Stumbling on a film class when she attended Santa Barbara City College, she knew immediately that this was her passion and went on to received her MFA in directing at Boston University. Starting as a production assistant (PA), she has worked her way up doing a variety of jobs in the industry.

As the product of a multi-cultural family - her mother a Rhode Island Irish Catholic and her father an Indian Muslim born in Burma, she and her siblings quickly learned the value of diversity. "It's important for people to understand cultural differences and know that there are other places in the world." Her large family, with its varied attitudes and beliefs, is an inspiration for many of her stories. In fact, her Sundance semi-finalist screenplay, Mornie is a true story about her the death of her mother's six-year-old sister and her namesake. She and her brother, Ahmed Bharoocha who is also in the arts, are currently writing a TV pilot based on growing up their diverse family, "there is nothing like it on the air right now".
She has spent the past few years working for Sprinkles Cupcakes, with bakeries nation wide, creating short films for them in a variety of genres with each story being about a cupcake. The owners saw her thesis film, Abajee, shot on location in Karachi Pakistan and were so impressed that they commissioned her to develop a short films series and created a position in the company for her.

Mostly, Maureen enjoys directing. When she writes, she likes to co-write with others and loves the collaboration.
Currently, she is going into pre-production on her second psychological thriller, an independent film, for Mar Vista Entertainment and plans to shoot in October in Los Angeles. She is excited to keep telling entertaining stories and make movies in every genre "I want to change the world with the stories that I tell."
Director Maureen Bharoocha - photo by Dana Starbard
As advice to others wanting to be in the industry, Maureen says the best thing is having people who believe in and champion you. It was one fellow filmmaker Hannah Pillemer whom she met in grad school, and had kept up a friendship with that took a chance on her. "She is the reason I was able to write and direct my first feature" A lot of people have helped me along the way and it's important to help back." Since this is a relationship industry, she belongs to several women filmmaking groups including The Film Fatales .
It's important to be pro-active. Go out and make stuff. It's easy now and there is no excuse not to do so. Dedicate yourself to learning your craft. If you love it, learn it and do it. Be willing to say no to projects that don't fit your values. The driving force of what I am doing is creative fulfillment.
Though she has no agent now, she does have legal representation - Ginsburg and Daniels.
