Hello there. This is the first time I've ever done a guest post on a blog before so be easy on me. First a little about myself. My name is Nossi Fogel, and I have a blog called The Kosher Gastronome, head on over there, and check out how much fun you've been missing out on. Go on, I'll wait.
I live in Baltimore, Maryland, where I am currently in my 3rd year in the University of Maryland dental school. The only thing I love more than scraping calcified plaque off of people's teeth is cooking. On a scale of "check him into a psych ward" to "nothing to worry about" I'd say my obsession with food is at "it's a problem." So anyway, one day last year I decided to chronicle my problem on the internet for all to see, and that's where we are today.
Okay Mr Gastronome, enough chit-chat, let's see what you got.
All right, so as I'm sure we all know, Purim is right around the corner, and I'm sure you're all eager to figure out what you should make for the seuda. Well be eager no more, because I have just the thing. It will wow your guests, be a little different while keeping within the confines of tradition. Is that possible?! Well read on.
Some of you out there know that there are three times a year when it's customary to serve kreplach, erev Yom Kippur, Hoshana Rabba, and Purim. The reason behind this is, these three days are Yomim Tovim, but you are allowed to work, so the essence of the Yom Tov is nistar (hidden). So we commemorate that by eating kreplach, which is essentially meat "hidden" in dough.
All right so how can we take kreplach, and make them awesomer? I'll tell you, by traveling west young grasshopper, to the orient. We're going to make potstickers.
Potstickers are like wontons, but instead of boiling them, we're going to sautee them, and then let them steam for a little longer. The thing about potstickers that make me want to go get some right now, is that they're chewy and kinda crispy at the same time, and oh so flavorful.
The reason why they're called potstickers is because they never stick to your pot…I make joke! They stick to your pot, duh! You start with a non non-stick pot (a "stick pot?" if you think about it, you want it to stick to your pot, so no, a non-stick pot won't work) on high heat, and add just a tiny bit of oil, brush it around, plop these thingys down, and leave them for 2 minutes without touching them. This causes them to form this nice little crust. Then you throw some liquid in the pot, it will sizzle like crazy, and you quickly put a lid on the pot, and lower to low heat, and don't take off the lid for another whole 2 minutes, and that cooks the rest of it by steaming it. It's really not that bad once you get the hand of it.
To make the potsticker, you take two wonton wrappers, and stuff them with a meat filling, and fold them up all nice and pretty, and sautee them.
All right let's talk filling for the potstickers.
Assuming you're still reading, which you're probably not…in which case, how would you be reading this…wait, what? I'm lost…ok, that was weird…Anyway – if you're an avid follower of The Kosher Gastronome, you'll no doubt know by now, that I recently received some free food from Joburg Kosher. They sent me biltong and boerewors to try out. I'll spare you the details (meaning: head on over to TheKosherGastronome.wordpress.com for the details), but all you need to know is that I was left with 2 boerewors to figure out what to do with them.
Can you see where I'm going with this?
I figured to myself – I've grilled boerewors like a regular plebian, but now let's make something magical. So me thinks, these sausages are just ground meat with different spices, stuffed into an edible casing, so why not take out the meat, and make them into potstickers! Genius, right??! Yeah, I know.
The rest is history. Grab some boerewors (or whatever meat you're using, but heck go crazy, order some Joberg Kosher boerewors, and use that…shameless plug), and take off the casings, and mix it together with your chopped scallions, pepper, lightly beaten egg, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, and mix them all together (Chill brosef, all the amounts and directions are gonna be below…).
Then take a wonton wrapper, and place it in front of you, in the shape of a diamond, and place a teaspoon of meat mixture in the middle, azoy. You really don't want to put more than a teaspoon of filling.
Then take some water, and brush it on the two edges away from you, and fold over, and try and make sure to press out all the air from the inside.
And then to make the traditional potsticker look, you make two folds on each side, making sure to press them down tight, like so.
Then grab your non-stick pan, and get it nice and hot over medium heat, and brush a tiny bit of oil (you do want it to come off eventually), and place a bunch down, and let it sit for two minutes.
Then after 2 minutes, take your chicken stock, and pour it into the skillet, cover, and turn to low, for another 2 minutes.
Then use some tongs to take them out, and let them cool.
Now to serve, you can serve alongside some hoisin sauce, or you can make your own dipping sauce. Combine honey, soy sauce, and some hoisin, and what the heck, some sriracha sauce, whisk together, and there you have it, awesomeness.
That's all folks, thanks for bearing with me, and make sure to head on over to The Kosher Gastronome.
Boerewors Potstickers
1. If you're planning on keeping them warm while you wait for your guests to show up. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
2. Combine the first 11 ingredients in a medium-size mixing bowl (meat through cayenne). Set aside.
3.To form the dumplings, remove 1 wonton wrapper from the package, covering the others with a damp cloth. Brush 2 of the edges of the wrapper lightly with water. Place 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold over, seal edges, and shape as desired. Set on a sheet pan and cover with a damp cloth. Repeat procedure until all of the filling is gone.
If you want to freeze these for another time, now's the time. Place them in the freezer on the sheet pan, and when they're completely frozen, you can place them all in a Ziploc bag.
4. Heat a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Brush with vegetable oil once hot. Add 8 to 10 potstickers at a time to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, without touching. Once the 2 minutes are up, gently add 1/3 cup chicken stock to the pan, turn the heat down to low, cover, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove wontons to a heatproof platter and place in the warm oven. Clean the pan in between batches by pouring in water and allowing the pan to deglaze. Repeat until all the wontons are cooked.

George Zimmerman's wife, who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to perjury, was channeling hit country song "Stand by Your Man" when she lied to a Florida court about the couple's finances after Zimmerman's arrest for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, her lawyer said.
The lawyer, Kelly Sims, spoke to reporters after Shellie Zimmerman pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of perjury for lying in a bond hearing last year.
Shellie Zimmerman told the 2012 hearing the couple was essentially destitute, even though they had accumulated about $135,000 between them through contributions to an online legal defense fund, prosecutors said.
Circuit Judge Marlene Alva in Sanford accepted a deal in which Shellie Zimmerman agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor perjury rather than the original charge of felony perjury in an official proceeding.
She was ordered to serve one year of probation, perform 100 hours of community service and write a letter of apology to Judge Kenneth Lester, in whose court the perjury occurred.
Sims said Shellie Zimmerman was scared and caught off guard when she was asked in court about the couple's ability to make bond.
"So she stood by her man like Tammy Wynette," Sims said, referring to the singer's hit single "Stand by Your Man."
In her one-page apology to Judge Lester, Zimmerman acknowledged that she had lied in claiming that she and her husband were destitute.
"Over the last 16 months, I have become intimately aware of the justice system, and the absolute importance of all parties being truthful," she wrote in her letter to Lester.
George Zimmerman was acquitted in July of murder in Martin's death, but his wife still faced the perjury charge for telling Lester that they had no money at a bond hearing.
George Zimmerman was arrested last year, about six weeks after he shot Martin, who was walking to the townhouse where he was staying in the central Florida city of Sanford.
The case drew national attention to Florida's self-defense law, known as Stand Your Ground, while also sparking intense debate on racial profiling and equal justice for African-Americans.
The Zimmerman's family credit union accounts showed that Shellie Zimmerman had transferred more than $74,000 from her husband's account to her own during the five days before the bond hearing, an investigator with the state attorney's office wrote in an affidavit supporting her arrest.
The Zimmermans discussed the transfers in coded language in several phone calls recorded at the jail in the days preceding the bond hearing, the affidavit said. They also talked about moving money to Zimmerman's sister's account and about taking money from a safety deposit box, the affidavit said.

Competitive Advantages of Lincoln Log International Homes
What Differentiates "Lincoln Log Homes" from other
Log Home and Cabin Kit Manufacturers?
A Distinct Lincoln Log Home Advantage
To purchase in log home kit form; pre-cut logs which are assembled at the building site.
To purchase pre-assembled log walls; where the logs are assembled at our factory.
In log home kit form, the individual logs are pre-cut to size, and pre-numbered. A stack sheet is furnished for each wall. Blueprints are drawn for each house and accompany the log home kit. In addition, an instructional video tape is available to every Lincoln Log purchaser upon request.
NO. 3 – OTHER EXCLUSIVE FEATURES. Lincoln Logs offers so much more than other log home and cabin kit manufacturers. . .other exclusive features include:
* Exclusive "Weather-Lok Corners". The logs are machined to close tolerance. The whole log interlocking corners offer stability unsurpassed in the log home and cabin industry.
* Exclusive "Weather-Lok Grooves". Top and bottom of each log is v-grooved to accommodate a one inch diameter polyethylene backer rod. The groove ensures the proper horizontal placement of this insulation in the center of the log, sealing out the weather and sealing in the heat. Some other log cabin home manufacturers have a similar but smaller groove . . however, the groove extends to the end of each log, even at the corners. This forms a trough for water to run into the corners. NOT SO WITH LINCOLN. WE STOP THE GROOVE AT THE INSIDE OF THE CORNER. This technology is far better in eliminating water seepage. Furthermore, the "weather-lok" corners are more aesthetically pleasing.
As you can see, nobody pays more attention to detail than Lincoln Log Homes. Over thirty years of experience, complemented by a talented and committed staff, assures you of the finest quality yellow pine log home on the market today . . .at the lowest possible cost when compared to other log cabins or homes of similar quality.
* In A Lincoln home, the logs are laid up, just as you would imagine they should be. They are whole logs not just log siding. The neatly cut ends and tight joints make it impossible for any trace of weather to creep inside. there is never a sacrifice of quality
* 8 inch logs are specially selected , machine debarked to retain their natural beauty,
* Precut, notched, grooved and treated in odorless wood preservative to minimize the threat of fungus and mildew damage that is inherent in any wood
* Every Lincoln home will fit any terrain you select flat ground, steep slop or water front. Choose any foundation. Slab , crawl space , full basement, or piers .Your Lincoln log home will fit
We supply 3 complete and easily read sets of working drawings witch include foundation detail, joist layout, and elevations for use by yourself or your contractor
* We as dealers will be glad to advise you an how to select a contractor in your area and will assist you in working with him, regarding technical information and the specific
* Problems of translating the plans to your site location. You will soon feel like an expert yourself.
* The grooves cut in each log are filled with a 1" diameter polyethylene backer rod to insure a completely weather tight structure .
What are the major advantages of Lincoln Log Homes over other log homes?
Our homes are precision cut to eliminate any need for "on site" trimming or fitting. This reduces the amount of labor and thus the construction cost. Another advantage is our exclusive "Weather Lok" corner which creates it's own weather tight seal. Our thirty day delivery is probably the fastest in the log home industry. Our representatives are near enough to offer you assistance if needed, we don't just sell you the package and disappear. There are many other advantages; some which will be covered later in this question and answer section.
How many different models are available through Lincoln Log Homes?
What is included in a Lincoln Log Home Kit?
Our Standard Kits Include: logs, fasteners, backer rods, log seal, and blueprints.
Can I alter the interior layout of an existing design?
Yes! Most often at no additional cost to you. A Lincoln Log Home can be built as a completely empty shell when roof trusses are used, since all support is the outside walls. This allows you to get the house under roof in the least possible time, which often saves you money in cases where weather might be a factor. You can then arrange the partition walls to suit your individual needs and tastes.
Are there any special precautions in beginning a Lincoln Log Home?
As in any construction it is necessary to keep all footing, foundations and walls running square and true. Log homes are no different. Precautions should be taken to make sure the initial course ( basic logs) are laid square and conform to all measurements on your blueprints. Also, care should be taken to insure that the logs are sitting squarely on the foundation and no extreme overlaps exist. From this point on, you need only to follow the blueprints, making sure that each course is kept square.
What kind of heating system is recommended in a Lincoln Log Home ?
Any type of system used in a conventional type home can also be used in a Lincoln Log Home. Your local climate and building code would most likely determine the type of heating system you choose.
Is insulation necessary in a Lincoln Log Home?
Wood is a natural insulator, one of the best. A concrete wall would need to be ten feet thick to equal the insulation qualities of our 8 inch thick logs. Wood is 6 times better than brick, 1600 times better than aluminum. Consideration should be given to proper insulation of the floors and roof and we recommend the use of storm or insulating windows
Is it difficult to build a Lincoln Log Home?
Our homes are precision cut to allow ease in erecting them. There should be no need for custom fitting on the construction site.
What does Lincoln Log Homes provide in the way of instruction or written materials?
What kind of timber is use in a Lincoln Log Home?
Our homes are all cut from southern yellow pine.They are uniform in size to eliminate water or snow ledges on the outer walls, and to allow flexibility in finishing the interior walls. All logs are 8 inches thick and planed to eliminate bark for termites and other wood borers to hide behind.
How are the logs joined together in a Lincoln Log Home?
We utilize a polyurethane backer rod which fits into a pre-cut v groove between the logs. On the butt end joints, two strips of polyurethane gasket material and two 1" diameter hardwood dowel pins are incorporated to insure a complete seal against air, light and water. Ten inch spiral spikes are used at 16 inch intervals to nail the logs together forming, in essence, a solid 8 inch thick wood wall, a very tight fit and very strong structure.
What kind of foundation do you recommend?
Any type of foundation can be used, from concrete blocks to brick, poured concrete or piers. We suggest that concrete blocks be used in lieu of the lighter weight blocks due to the weight of the log walls. Also due to the weight, it is very important to make sure that the logs are centered over the foundation and not lapping over on one side or another.
All log buildings will settle to some extent. We allow for this by leaving some space above all windows and doors. This space should be filled with insulation and covered by the window or door face plate. Only 2% is expected with our homes.
How is the electrical wiring run in the log walls?
Very simple. Our bottom course of logs is sawed flat on the inside to allow for wiring conduit to be formed using furring strips and wide baseboard trim. In locations where a wall switch is needed on a long wall, the wire is run up the spline groove in the butt ends of the logs. Incidentally, where necessary, the wiring conduit formed by the base log and sideboard can also be used to hide water lines.
How are the interior walls built in a Lincoln Log Home?
Just as in a conventional home. Any type interior wall is acceptable, from sheetrock to wood paneling. There are clever ways to tie the interior partition walls into the curved log outer walls with no necessity of molding of any kind. Another saving over conventional homes.
Is it normal for the logs to crack?
Yes, we call it checking. It results from the natural seasoning or drying process of the logs. Some people think these cracks add character and beauty to the logs; however, anyone who thinks otherwise can fill the cracks with any quality wood filler. These checks in no way endanger the structural strength of the building.
How are the logs delivered to the construction site?
Is there anything else I need to know about building my Lincoln Log Home?
While we can't anticipate every question, we'll certainly be happy to provide you with any additional answers and information you might need or want.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA — A 5K run to benefit families of children born with congenital heart defects will begin on Saturday morning at Central Park.
Registration starts at 7 p.m. and the run, through the Pacific Electric Trail, starts at 8 p.m.
The event will feature a kid's zone, face painting, crafts, balloons for children and a raffle. A fire truck and sheriff vehicles will be on display.
Among the children who participants will honor by joining is Rancho Cucamonga resident Lauren Gentry, 6. Gentry was born with a congenital heart defect and had a heart transplant two years ago. Lauren, who is abnormally smaller than girls her age, has had three open heart surgeries in her life; the first was when she was five days old.
Camille Gentry said the same event last year raised $7,000. The money helped to fund a pediatric cardiac unit at Loma Linda Children's Hosptial and Christmas dinner for families.
"We were shocked when we had 400 people there last year," Gentry said. That was awesome, so we're excited to continue this year and hopefully raise more money."

Drones Kill - Animated, Interactive Visualization
Great data visualization design from Pitch Interactive. Out of Site, Out of Mind is an animated data visualization of every U.S. drone strike in Pakistan since 2004 and the associated kills reported in the news. There is also an interactive element is that the readers can hover their pointer over the visualization an more details appear in a popup window. Visit the original site to see the animation.
Since 2004, the US has been practicing in a new kind of clandestine military operation. The justification for using drones to take out enemy targets is appealing because it removes the risk of losing American military, it's much cheaper than deploying soldiers, it's politically much easier to maneuver (i.e. flying a drone within Pakistan vs. sending troops) and it keeps the world in the dark about what is actually happening. It takes the conflict out of sight, out of mind. The success rate is extremely low and the cost on civilian lives and the general well-being of the population is very high. This project helps to bring light on the topic of drones. Not to speak for or against, but to inform and to allow you to see for yourself whether you can support drone usage or not.
The visualization is created in HTML5 and JavaScript. We recommend Chrome for the best viewing experience.
The challenge with gathering the data and how drone attacks are represented in the news is shown by the large OTHER category of victims. Also, it's the largest category of victims. A data visualization like this is a tremendously effective way to bring this issue to light.
The category of victims we call "OTHER" is classified differently depending on the source. The Obama administration classifies any able-bodied male a military combatant unless evidence is brought forward to prove otherwise. This is a very grey area for us. These could be neighbors of a target killed. They may all be militants and a threat. What we do know for sure is that they are targeted without being given any representation or voice to defend themselves.
The visualization was created by Wesley Grubbs, and there is a video interview of him about the data visualziation process by The Huffington Post.
Thanks to Ray for sending in the link!

I'm just finishing up a long stretch at work and feeling drained. On the plus side, I am feeling much stronger (and faster!) when I ride my bike to work now. Not only that, but I'm actually enjoying it. When I first started, I knew it was good for me, the earth, and my checkbook, but I just didn't like it. It was hard. Sometimes you have to "fake it till you make it." Maybe it's the much awaited sunshine, but I couldn't help myself from just smiling every time I got on the bike! The down side? I'm so exhausted that I took an extra "rest day" off from working out today. I usually only take one day off a week, but today I thought I was going for a run and ended up mostly walking. My legs are sore and my energy is low. I hate messing up my schedule, but I have to respect my body.
Other exciting news? My bestie, Michelle, arrived in Portland Sunday! We are now about a 25 minute walk away- much easier than a 4 day car ride or 4.5 hour plane ride. As I mentioned, she is newly gluten-free and I have been making lots of gluten-free treats. I don't follow a strictly gluten-free diet, but I do enjoy trying new grains and grain alternatives. I feel best when I eat a variety of grains such as rice, quinoa, oats, kasha, and millet instead of just all wheat.
These muffins are actually made with almond flour and are low carb, high protein (a whopping 9 grams per muffin!), and packed with nutrients. I don't buy almond flour as it is quite expensive. I simply grind whole almonds in my coffee grinder and…voila! Almond flour. Almonds are high in protein, fiber, vitamin e, calcium, and magnesium. The best part? They taste amazing! Andrew wrote me a love letter after eating one when he came home the night I made them. The phrase "most delicious muffins I have EVER tasted" was used.
But it gets better! They are also ridiculously simple and easy to make. I slightly adapted a genius recipe from Elana for a simple almond flour muffin that she created as part of the "Gluten-free Ratio Rally." Her basic recipe has just five ingredients, though I changed it up slightly with the additions I made. The "bomb" is the homemade cherry jam surprise inside, and I also stirred some chopped cherries into the batter, as well as chocolate chips in half of the muffins.
Almond Cherry Bomb Muffins:
*8 oz almond flour (about 2 cups if you don't have a scale)
*4 large eggs (I know it sounds like a lot, they act as leavening and binding agents in gluten's absence)
* 2 tablespoons agave nectar
*1/2 teaspoon baking soda
*1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar (Elana uses apple cider vinegar, but I didn't have any on hand)
*1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
*1/2 cup pitted and chopped fresh or frozen cherries
*8 tablespoons cherry jam
*1/4-1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1. Line 8 standard muffin tins with paper cups, or grease them. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Combine wet ingredients (eggs, agave, vinegar, almond extract). Stir in almond flour and baking soda. Fold in chopped cherries and chocolate chips if using.
3. Pour batter into prepared muffin tins, only about half full. Spoon 1 tablespoon of cherry jam into each, then cover with the remaining batter.
4. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Cool and enjoy!
I'm off to enjoy some much needed sunshine! Have a beautiful day!

Namibian Communities Take the Lead on Conservation
- Date: July 15, 2013
- Author: Chris Weaver, Managing Director, WWF Namibia
Living in Namibia for the last 20 years, I have seen the outlook on the wildlife here go from rather dismal to incredibly hopeful.
By the mid-1990s—shortly after Namibia won its independence—wildlife numbers were at historical lows in many communal areas. But since passage of the 1996 communal conservancy legislation, the recovery of the wildlife has been amazing. We now have the largest free-roaming population of black rhino, the only expanding population of lions, and the biggest cheetah population in the world. Elephants are recovering and enlarging their range, while migration routes for many animals are being re-established.
This remarkable transition has all been possible due to Namibia's visionary government, which recognized the importance of engaging communities in conservation. The government teamed up with multiple non-governmental organizations, including WWF, to create a national community-based natural resource management program. We jointly assist communities in forming conservation areas to manage and benefit from their wildlife. Once a community meets legal criteria, it becomes a legitimate natural resource management organization registered and recognized by all branches of government in Namibia as a communal conservancy.
Namibia as a conservation model
With 79 registered conservancies covering 38 million acres, Namibia has become a conservation model that inspires hope for countries and communities around the globe. Twenty different countries have sent delegations to come and learn from Namibia's experiences and successes.
One of the most inspiring visits was a high-ranking delegation from Nepal. It was remarkable to sit in the constitution room at parliament and hear our Namibian hosts so proudly tell their guests about how important it is to create a constitution that incorporates sustainable management of the environment and proactive engagement with communities.
And it's very exciting to watch the transformation in how people value wildlife in Namibia. Wildlife, once perceived as a detriment to peoples' livelihoods and used as poached meat, is increasingly being viewed as a valuable asset to attract tourists. One can see peoples' mindsets incrementally shift; they start to think that wildlife is worth something and that it should be conserved and protected.
Realizing the value of lions
A great example of this is Puros Conservancy, in northwest Namibia. If you approached members of this community about lions in the 1990s, they didn't even want to talk to you. If a lion made it near their villages, they would track it down and shoot it.
Slowly, they came to realize that lions have a value, that tourism could bring income and employment benefits. In 2008, we attended a meeting with the Puros Conservancy committee to discuss how the resident pride of lions could generate benefits for the conservancy members. During the meeting, the community requested that WWF fund radio tracking equipment, a vehicle, and staff so the conservancy could monitor lion movements and manage potential conflict between the lions and resident livestock.
As Puros Conservancy was already generating some tourism income, we offered to provide half the money if the conservancy put up the other half. After two hours of discussion, the conservancy's representatives agreed. That was a huge demonstration of their attitude shift. Not only did they no longer want to kill the lions, they now were willing to invest their own money in managing the lions.
Working for WWF and being involved in this kind of work is incredibly satisfying. I doubt there's any other place in the world where I could have had so much personal impact or satisfaction from a job.

Queenstown's Historic Precinct of Arrowtown a Dining Mecca
Can you remember the cream we once enjoyed on the top of the milk?
Yes? Well if Queenstown is the milk, the historic precinct is the veritable cream!
1 / 5
If we are honest, most of us will admit that we do not like change. You'll be pleased to know then that there remain corners of New Zealand where you can escape the 'madding-crowd'. We call these our places. Queenstown's historic precinct of Arrowtown is such a place - a 'Kiwi-Secret'.
This precinct is one New Zealand's most charming villages. Authentic and relaxing are adjectives that spring to mind. Established following the discovery of gold 150 years ago, today you'll discover a sophisticated village reflecting echoes of the past
But wait – that's just the entrée! Are you passionate about fine wine & food?
This precinct is the new-child in the Queenstown dining scene. The savvy-diner is often one step ahead of the crowd - You can probably pretend to your friends that you discovered it all on your own!
Here, fine dining, alfresco café, brew-pubs and subterranean bars cohabitate happily alongside each other. Your friends may not believe that 'Saffron' was your own discovery 'tho.
Rated in the 'Worlds Top 100' by Conde Nast Traveller, Saffron was a Cuisine Restaurant of the Year Finalist in 2006, 2007, 2008, & 2009. The nearby Amisfield Bistro is another must-do for the serious foodie.
Amisfield Bistro is a finalist in the Cuisine New Zealand Restaurant of the Year 2011 awards. Our hot-tip- we suggest you spoil yourself with Amisfield's famous shared dining experience, 'Trust the Chef'.
This is a table d'hote menu where you will be served a selection of dishes designed to be shared at the table. All dishes are seasonal and chosen by the chef based on the freshest ingredients available on the day. What a great idea!
You'll be pleased to discover that the ubiquitous parking-meter has not yet arrived here! What more encouragement do you need to explore? Follow your nose down cobblestone lanes & you'll discover a veritable feast.
Café-culture is in good health in the historic precinct. Perfect for recharging batteries weary from gallery hopping and window-shopping. Lost Café [formerly Joe's Garage] a New Zealand cult for serious espresso fiends should be on your hit-list.
Revived, check out the restored Chinese Miner's Village. Chinese migrants settled here during the late 1800s gold rush. Work up an appetite for dinner by following the short riverside walking trail.
Need a mid-afternoon reward to maintain blood sugar levels? Choices are many but favourites are Patagonia Chocolates, for the natural goodness of chocolate in a classic Patagonian homemade style or Remarkable Sweets.
Remember Bon Bons, Aniseed Wheels, Live Wires, Milk Bottles? They're all here, with the largest selection of sweets in New Zealand.
In mid-summer you'll have to wait a while for the sun to set – More time to play! Days are long with darkness not descending until after 9pm.
You shouldn't have any problem with all this extra time on your hand. Early evening games we like to play are hide and seek at Dorothy Browns an art-house cinema or find the Blue Door.
What's behind the Blue Door? Mmmm, we don't want to spoil the secret but perhaps we could hint that this is a bohemian joint. We suggest a pre-dinner cocktail or adjourning here for a post-prandial pinot – get the idea?
By now you're probably thinking [or you should be!], why would we want to stay anywhere else…………..and you'd be right.
Three golf course, Japanese hot pools, luxury spas, cycle & walking trails and Coronet Peak Ski Resort all on your doorstep. If you drink Arrowtown dry, this precinct is the gateway to the world famous Central Otago Vineyards, where yes, more fine country dining awaits & the bottles are lined up for sniffing……… and more!
ps……when we say gateway …………….we mean the energetic can bike there or the driven can be exploring our bottled goodness in only 10-minutes.
Now you really must take the weight off your feet and grab some shut-eye!
Dedicated golfers, enjoy Millbrook Golf Resort, although you will need your wheels to drive into Arrowtown proper. The smart-money likes Arrowtown House, a Boutique Hotel just 2-mintes walk from all the precincts attractions.
Ranked #1 on TripAdvisor, these guys are the winners of a New Zealand Tourism Award and wait for it ……… a Conde Nast Travel & Leisure "Worlds Best Award" – enough said??
Come discover for yourself fine food, beautiful surroundings and refreshing adventures in Queenstown's historic precinct – but don't expect to be sitting around for long!

#Jets news: McElroy ruled out because of concussion. Lingered from game. Sanchez will start. #circus
Rich Cimini @RichCimini
According to Ryan, McElroy didn't disclose concussion symptoms. Trainers found out this morning. Tebow not happy, per Rex.
Per NYJets onTwitter
this team has no clue, none.
Conor Orr @ConorTOrr
Rex found out at 9:30 am. Had a conversation with both Tim and Mark. #nyj #jets
Brian Costello @BrianCoz
You can't make this stuff up. #nyj
You can't even make this up. At least we clinched a top ten pick now.
Just heard it as well. McElroy being evaluated for concussion.
At least our draft position should improve.
Can't Wait for Monday.
Great, so at least now we know McElroy has no durability... Hope Sanchez lights it up since we are stuck with him.
Jets trolling the fanbase, good stuff
Brian Costello @BrianCoz
Rex says he is going with Sanchez because they have short preparation time and Sanchez knows the Bills better than Tebow
and this is how the circus ends..let me know when it's Monday
Absolutely no reason to watch this game
I had a funny feeling this would happen...Jets didn't want Sanchez starting at home the last game
Am I missing something guys? A loss plus help gets us the 7th/8th pick, a win gets us into the low teens. Isn't Sanchez who you would want to get the job done?
We just clinched a top ten pick.

At a glance, Adobe Premiere Elements 7 looks like a complete video-editing tool made easy. The problem is that Adobe bundles it with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. In combining the two, both products seem to lose something.
Adobe Premiere Elements 7Pros: Good Web features and interoperability with other Adobe productsCons: Expensive, complicated to use; Photoshop portion detracts from video editingPerformance: BFeatures: B-Ease of use: C+Value: C-Compatibility: A+Price: $99.99
Adobe Premiere Elements 7 is more consumer-oriented than its competitors. It seems to focus on the bells and whistles, such as the ability to make it look like I'm flying over the Grand Canyon. Its competitors seem to put more emphasis on smooth video playback.
Don't get me wrong: Adobe has packed the software package with rich features that work well after a slight learning curve. With the dual software set, you can easily access and use photos and video clips from either product to create cinematic slide shows or freeze-frame effects. You can then burn them to a DVD or high-definition Blu-ray Disc. Even better, you can post your creations on YouTube or use the proprietary Adobe Web service Photoshop.com Plus.
Lead story: Video-editing tools cut to the chase
The Web interface is what makes Adobe's product unique among the other programs in this review. Adobe has the scalability and size to make all its suites interoperable and accessible to anyone with an Internet connection.
However, Adobe focuses too much on features that make it fun for family and friends and not enough on providing a dynamic, versatile program for government users who are new to video editing.
Finally, the $99.99 price tag is a little steep, considering that you can find a comparable alternative for half the price.Adobe Systems, 408-536-4070, www.adobe.com

Red Admiral
This butterfly is widespread in southern England, extending just into Wales and northwards. It has white-banded black wings and a distinctive delicate flight, which has short periods of wing beats followed by long glides. It could be confused with the larger Purple Emperor.
Adults are often found nectaring on Bamble flowers in rides and clearings. It is a fairly shade-tolerant butterfly, flying in dappled sunlight to lay eggs on Honeysuckle.
The White Admiral occurs widely in southern Britain and has spread rapidly since the 1920s, after an earlier contraction. However, population monitoring has shown a dramatic decline in the last 20 years, for reasons that are as yet unclear.
Size and Family
- Family – Nymphalids
- Size: Medium/Large
- Wing Span Range (male to female): 60-64mm
Conservation Status
- Butterfly Conservation priority: High
- Section 41 species of principal importance under the NERC Act in England
- Section 42 species of principal importance under the NERC Act in Wales
- UK BAP status: Priority Species
- European threat status: Not threatened
Caterpillar Foodplant
The sole foodplant is Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum), usually in shady positions.
The butterfly uses shady woodland and ride edges and is often associated with neglected or mature woodland, where there are sunny glades with large patches of Bramble to provide nectar for the adults. It is found in both deciduous and mixed deciduous/coniferous woodland.
- Countries – England and Wales
- Restricted to southern and central England
- Distribution Trend Since 1970's: -31%

Overview of Ed Ruscha's Paintings from the Last Five Decades at Haus der Kunst in Munich
US artist Ed Ruscha poses in front of his painting 'Large Trademark with Eight Spotlights' (1962) which is on display in the exhibition 'Ed Ruscha 50 Years of Painting' at the 'Haus der Kunst' (House of Arts) in Munich, Germany. The exhibition opened to the public on February 12 and runs through May 2, 2010. EFE/Felix Hoerhager.
The exhibition provides a comprehensive overview of Ruscha's paintings from the last five decades. The focus the selection of works share is the constants in Ruscha's artistic endeavors: the attention he pays to words and word-paintings. Also apparent is his analytical approach to painting, which, time and again, results in a revision of his formal methods. And finally, by omitting additional artistic forms of expressions that Ed Ruscha also employs, the exhibition demonstrates how his experience with drawing, photograph and film find their way into his painting.
In one of his earliest paintings, "E. Ruscha," executed in 1959 during his studies, Ed Ruscha (pronounced: Rew-shay, as the artist clarified in an invitation to a solo exhibition in 1973 in London) had already arranged the letters of his name as characters that filled the painting and were placed in the foreground of a landscape. In the paintings that followed landscapes were only alluded to behind a dominating word by means of a line in the horizon or different color fields. In a further step, Ruscha used trademarks that had the character and function of logos, rather than individual words. As steep diagonals they rush by like billboards along the highway, seen from the viewpoint of driver or, like the "Hollywood" sign, stand in the horizon, having become part of the landscape. With these methods Ruscha transmits the zoom technique and the simulation of speed, as they are used in film and comics, into paintings.
Ed Ruscha (b. 1937 in Nebraska) takes his motifs from the culture that surrounds him, which, in Los Angeles, his home by choice, is strongly influenced by the film and advertising industries. With the word "Annie" he quoted the trademark of the "Little Orphan Annie" comic strip, created in 1924 for the New York Daily News; the mountain in his Mountain Series is a play on the Paramount Pictures logo; "Large Trademark with Eight Spotlights" depicts the 20th Century Fox logo, while the dimensions of this work are reminiscent of a movie screen; in his painting "The End" these two words, which comprised the final shot in all black and white films, are surrounded by scratches and streaks reminiscent of damaged celluloid.
The fascination that such lettering and words have for Ed Ruscha led him to develop his own typeface in 1980, "Boy Scout Utility Modern": like the lettering in the "Hollywood" sign on the hills before Los Angeles, the curve of the characters is angular as if they were created by a carpenter. His systematic exploration of the effects of different fonts led Ruscha to use unusual dyes, such as fruit juice, blood, chewing tobacco, chocolate, coffee and tea. In his 1972 work "Sphere of Pepto-Bismol" the artist used Pepto-Bismol, a pink stomach medicine, as paint; in "It's Only Vanishing Cream" from 1973 he painted shellac on satin; in "Sand in the Vaseline" from 1974 he applied egg yolk onto moiré. The particular color effect of such substances is what interested the artist in these experiments, as well as what happened to them as they dried and aged. In this "romance with liquids," as Ed Ruscha himself named the phase, his interest in transience and decay found expression early on.
The motifs he picks up in streets and everyday life are not bound to these origins. Rather Ed Ruscha frees words from their original confines and detaches them from their specific syntactic or semantic context. The three letters OOF - of a comic strip figure being punched in the stomach, for instance - are magnified by Ruscha onto the canvas; they become a kind of still life or object that the viewer can confront with a new way of interpretation. On the one hand the onomatopoetic exclamation speaks even more urgently to the viewer while, on the other, it is relieved of its original function and upgraded to a pictorial object. Many of the words Ruscha has transformed into motifs appear to be abandoned in a strange place or landscape where they wait to be recognized.
With his silhouette paintings from the 1980s Ed Ruscha expanded his artistic repertoire once again. The dark, blurred silhouette of a howling coyote or a row of covered wagons, like those used by the early settlers, activates stereotyped pictures of Americans and their self-image. Instead of words white bars appear, as replacements or as allusions to censorship.
The exhibition will also present a selection of works from the "Course of Empire" cycle, with which Ed Ruscha represented the USA at the Venice Biennale in 2005. In this work series Ruscha subjected his 1992 "Blue Collar" cycle to a revision by contrasting the original five black and white paintings with new colored paintings of the same composition. Both the contemporary variations as well as the original motifs depict anonymous, box-like functional structures in arbitrary locations. Their identity is only discernable from the logos of the respective companies on the façades. By means of the changing company names, the paintings tell the tale of "urban frustrations" and the "cruelty of progress" (Ed Ruscha): the replacement of a once strong industry and manufacturing society by the products of service providers in the digital age.
The exhibition is organized by Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, London, in association with Haus der Kunst, Munich (February 12 - May 2, 2010). Further venue of the exhibition: Moderna Museet, Stockholm, May 29 - September 5, 2010

Health Care
The complete Barnard health care program for administrators has four components: Medical Services, Drugs, Dental, and Flexible Spending. Health care benefits begin on the first day of the month following 30 days of employment.
Medical Services:
The Cigna Open Access Plus Plan provides medical benefits with the flexibility of using either network or non-network providers.
In most cases, the Open Access Plus Plan provides 100% coverage less a modest co-payment for some services such as prescriptions and office visits. Since care under this option is provided by Cigna's extensive network of doctors, there are no deductibles nor are there any claim forms. This is called "in-network."
On the other hand, the Open Access Plus Plan can function as traditional indemnity insurance, allowing the participants to use doctors of their own choosing with reimbursement subject to the usual controls such as annual deductibles and reasonable and customary limitations. The claimant must complete claim forms. This is called "out-of-network."
In addition, employees may choose between three Cigna plan options, all of which allow in-network and out-of-network coverage. Plan A is offered to employees at a modest cost. Plan B requires a larger employee contribution, but it has a lower deductible and out-of-pocket maximum for out-of-network providers. Plan C is a High Deductible Health Plan which is available with a Health Savings Account partially funded by Barnard. Plan C has the lowest employee contribution. Dependents may be carried on all plans with an employee contribution.
Cigna insures both same sex and opposite sex domestic partners. Employees interested in this coverage should contact Human Resources at (212) 854-2551.
On the Cigna Plan A and Plan B Prescription Program, the employee pays $15 for generic, $25 for brand drugs and $50 for preferred brand drugs at participating pharmacies. Under the Plan C Prespription Program, the employee pays $10 for generic, $25 for brand name drugs, and $50 for preferred brand drugs at participating pharmacies. A mail order program is available for maintenance drugs under all medical plan options.
Aetna Freedom of Choice (FOC) Dental Maintenance Organization, is available at a cost of $23.50 per month for individual, $44.52 for employee plus one and $71.43 per month for family coverage. The plan allows employees to switch monthly from the DMO to the Preferred Provider Organization (PPO).
Flexible Spending:
The Barnard College Flexible Spending Account enables full-time, participating employees to pay for their unreimbursed health and/or dependent care expenses with pre-tax income. The health and dependent care plans are administered by Allegiance, a division of CIGNA. Employees can contact customer services with any questions regarding covered expenses at 1-877-424-3570.
Vision Plan:
An annual eye exam can help manage overall health and well-being. It can spot the early signs of serious health conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, so you can be treated sooner, rather than later. EyeMed makes it easy for your to visit one of their participating doctors in their network for your annual eye exam. You will also have access to the top six national retail chains as in-network options, including LensCrafters, Sears Optical, Target Optical, JC Penny Optical, and most Pearle Vision locations. EyeMed provides an annual eye exam at no cost and an allowance for frames or contacts once every 12 months. Coverage for non-network services are limited.
Employee Assistance Program:
We are pleased to announce our new Employee Assistance Program through Humana (formerly known as "Harris Rotherberg International, Inc."). We encourage your participation in this program and take advantage of the available resources provided. You may contact Humana at 800-448-4358 or at www.hriworld.com
Additional Considerations:
Adjustment of Coverage - Subsequent to initial enrollment, additions to, or adjustments in coverage may occur only during open enrollment periods (usually the first calendar month of the year) or if there has been a life status change such as marriage, birth of a child, or loss of a spouse's job. Dependents may be dropped from coverage at any time.
Termination of Coverage - Termination provisions for unmarried dependent children, students and non-students age 26 and above vary under the several plans (medical/drug, dental and flexible spending) that make up the complete health care program. Specific information is available in the individual plan documents. Finally, for employees who are terminating employment, coverage ends on the last day of the month in which their final working day falls.
COBRA and Conversion Privileges - Under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, employees who terminate employment under conditions other than gross misconduct may elect to remain in the group medical plans, at their expense, for 18 months from their termination date, or 29 months if termination is due to disability under certain conditions. The employee must notify ADP COBRA Services, 1-800-526-2720 or https://www.benedirect.adp.com of such election within 60 days of termination and must make insurance payments retroactive to the first date of COBRA coverage within a period ending forty-five days after such election. Subsequent payments must be made monthly. In addition, eligible dependents covered by the plans may remain in the group for a period of up to 36 months if continuation coverage is due to the death of the employee, divorce or legal separation, or loss of eligibility due to reaching maximum plan age or becoming entitled to and applying for Medicare.
Disability Insurance
The complete Barnard Disability Insurance program consists of two components: Short Term Disability Insurance and Long Term Disability Insurance.
Short Term Disability Insurance:
As mandated by the State of New York, Barnard employees are covered by Short Term Disability Insurance. CIGNA carries the College's policy. It provides a benefit of 50% of the employee's weekly salary up to a maximum of $750 per week for any non-occupational illness or injury, including maternity. These benefits will be paid for a period of up to 26 weeks depending on the severity of the illness. In order that a claim for short term disability benefits can be filed with CIGNA in a timely fashion, employees who are, or expect to be, absent from work due to disabling illness for five or more consecutive working days must contact the Office of Human Resources at the earliest possible moment.
Long Term Disability Insurance:
CIGNA provides coverage for long-term disability. This coverage is available after one year of service. However, this waiting period will be waived upon certification of coverage under a group long term total disability plan with the employee's prior employer if coverage was in effect within 30 days of the Barnard date of hire.
After an elimination period of 180 days, the policy will pay 60% of the disabled employee's salary up to a maximum of $5,000 per month for the period of total disability. These payments will be reduced by any benefits payable from Social Security, Workers Compensation, and any benefits payable under the College's short term disability program. Benefits continue up to age 65 if the disability commences prior to age 60. If the disability commences after age 60, the period will depend on complex provisions the details of which are available from the Office of Human Resources.
In addition, CIGNA will make appropriate contributions to the employee's Basic Retirement Annuity (see below) during the period of total disability.
Life Insurance
Employees are covered by a CIGNA group term life policy with an Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) rider. The face amount of an employee's coverage equals annual base salary rounded up to the next nearest thousand dollars. The most important feature of the AD&D rider is that it provides the beneficiary (ies) double the face amount of the policy if the covered employee dies as a result of an accident.
Additional Considerations:
Inception - The life insurance benefit begins on the first day of the month following completion of one full month of employment.
Beneficiaries - Employees designate the beneficiary (ies) and may change that designation at any time.
Seniors - For active employees over age 65, the amount of life insurance will be reduced in compliance with current plan provisions. The plan provides for additional reductions after age 70.
Retirement Plans
Barnard College provides two retirement plans: the Basic Retirement Annuity Plan and the Supplemental Retirement Annuity Plan. Both of these plans are administered by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association - College Retirement Equity Fund (TIAA-CREF).
Basic Retirement Annuity:
Eligibility -
Contributions to the Basic Retirement Annuity plan are made by Barnard. All regular employees performing 520 or more hours of service per year participate in the retirement plan if they have satisfied the eligibility requirements that are as follows:
1. Employees hired on or before September 30, 2002 must have completed two (2) years of service with the college and attained the age of twenty-one (21).
2. Employees hired on or after October 1, 2002 must have completed one (1) year of required service with the College and attained the age of twenty-one (21).
Eligible employees will begin participation on the January 1st or July 1st following their 1 or 2 year anniversary date, as described above.
Credit for prior service -
1. Employees hired on or before September 30, 2002 with two (2) years required service at an institution of higher education during the twenty-four (24) month period directly preceding their date of employment at the College may begin participation immediately.
2. Employees hired on or after October 1, 2002 with one (1) year of required service at an institution of higher education during the twelve (12) month period directly preceding their date of employment at the College may begin participation immediately.
Employees are requested to notify the Human Resources Department if one of these exceptions applies.
Contributions and vesting -
1. For eligible employees hired on or before September 30, 2002, the College contributes 8% up to the then current "break point" of earnings during each plan year (July 1 to June 30) and 12% of earnings in excess of that break point. These eligible employees are immediately vested in the College's contribution.
2. For eligible employees hired on or after October 1, 2002, the College contributes 8% of earnings during each plan year for years two (2) through four (4) of employment. Effective with the employee's fifth (5th) anniversary of employment, the College contributes 8% up to the then current "break point" of earnings during each plan year (July 1 to June 30) and 12% of earnings in excess of the break point. These eligible employees vest in the College's contribution following five (5) years of service.
Supplemental Retirement Annuity:
Both full-time and part-time employees may elect to make contributions to a supplemental tax-deferred annuity. These annuity contributions are made pre-tax and require that the employee execute an authorizing Salary Reduction Agreement, which is available from the Human Resources Department. Employees can elect to contribute any amount up to an allowable maximum set by regulation and calculated by TIAA-CREF in each specific case. There is no waiting period. The plan includes a loan provision. Details are available from the Human Resources Department.
Tuition Assistance
Full-time employees hired on/after January 1, 1984 who have completed a 90 day probationary period receive an allowance for a maximum of fifteen credits per year for courses which are a part of a program of study leading to a degree or certificate, individual academic courses for which credit is given, and individual courses that are job related. Such courses must be taken at accredited institutions of higher education or recognized business or trade schools.
Full-time nine and ten month employees receive 12 credits per year.
Part-time employees receive pro-rata benefits.
Effective January 1, 2003, there will be a cap of $1,000 per calendar year per employee for non-job related certificate programs. For non-job related individual academic courses, the College will pay an individual an amount per semester not to exceed the total cost of three (3) Columbia School of General Studies undergraduate credits then in effect.
As required currently by law, tuition benefits for graduate school in excess of $5,250 per calendar year are considered taxable income to the employee, and taxes will be withheld from the employee's paycheck when appropriate.
Daughters of full-time employees who are accepted for admission to Barnard under the normal admission procedures shall be entitled to eight (8) semesters of full tuition.
Eligibility, for Fall and Spring semesters, depends upon several factors. Further information is available through the Office of the Vice President for Finance and Administration.
Paid Time Off
All employees hired after July 1, 1987 earn two days per month for each full month of service up to a maximum of 24 days per year. Vacation time will be accrued but cannot be taken during the first six months of employment. Further, no more than 24 vacation days may be carried over from one fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) to the next. Any additional unused vacation days will be forfeited. In addition, an employee who resigns will be paid for any accrual vacation time up to the allowed carry over and any newly accrued but unused vacation days.
Scheduled - Employees receive eleven scheduled holidays per year. These are: New Year's Day; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day; Memorial Day; Independence Day; Labor Day; Election Day; Thanksgiving Day; Day After Thanksgiving; Christmas Eve; Christmas Day; and New Year's Eve.
Floating - In addition to scheduled holidays, twelve-month employees receive three floating holidays per year; those hired after January 1st receive two days for the first fiscal year ending June 30th. Nine and ten-month employees receive two floating holidays per year; those hired after January 1st receive one day for the first fiscal year ending June 30th.
Sick Leave:
Sick leave accrues on the anniversary of employment. The employee starts with a bank of 5 days for the first year of employment and accrues 10 days per year thereafter. In addition to the current year's entitlement, a maximum of 60 days unused sick leave may be carried from one year to the next. Therefore, the total maximum an employee will ever have available, including carry-over and current year's sick leave, is 70 days.
Commutation Benefit Program:
The College offers employees the opportunity to use pre-tax dollars to pay certain commuting costs. Employees who join the program can exclude up to $255 per month pre-tax for the purchase of Metrocards and transit passes. For those who drive or car-pool, the program can be applied to the lesser of the actual authorized parking costs or $255 per month. Complete details on the commutation program are available from the ADP website https://myspendingaccount.wageworks.com or 1-800-654-6695.
Mandated Benefits
In addition to Short Term Disability (discussed above), there are four other mandated programs. These are:
Family and Medical Leave:
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 requires that eligible employees be given up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job protected leave during any 12 month period for the birth and first-year care of a child; the adoption or foster placement of a child; the serious medical condition of the employee's spouse, child, or parent; or the employee's own serious medical condition. Both the employer and the employee have certain rights under the act. The Human Resources Department can be contacted for further information.
Social Security:
Social Security is a federal program of retirement, disability, survivor and health related benefits covering most staff. Contributions to Social Security are shared by the College and the employee.
Worker's Compensation:
Income protection, medical benefits and survivor benefits are provided for job related illnesses and injuries. This mandated coverage is provided to the College by CHUBB and is independent of the health care coverage provided by Cigna. For this reason, among others, any job related injury or illness must be reported immediately to the responsible supervisor, department chair or director and to the Human Resources Department.
Unemployment Insurance:
Staff and faculty who become unemployed through no fault of their own and are able and available to work, but unsuccessful in finding employment, may be eligible to receive a weekly benefit.
Voluntary Benefits
Barnard offers faculty and staff several voluntary benefit packages. Further information is available from Human Resources.
Backup Care: Through Bright Horizons, the College offers discounted Backup Child and Elder Care services for those times when an employee would otherwise miss work to care for a loved one. The program is designed to provide up to 20 visits annually either in a childcare center (Copays: $15/child or $25 for 2 or more children) or in a private residence ($8 per hour) when regular care for a child or dependent adult is unavailable on a temporary basis. Employees can visit the website at backup.brighthorizons.com or call 877-BH-CARES (877-242-2737) or 800-557-0847 for more information.
Met Pay: Offers discounted insurance rates for auto and home through Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Call 1-800-GET-MET8 for further information and a no-obligation quote.
Chase Banking: Chase offers checking and savings with no balance required, fee waived banking, when you set up direct deposit. Benefits include debit card, on-line banking, credit cards, access to mortgage and home equity loans and other banking services.
Health Club Membership: Faculty and staff can secure discounted health club memberships through GlobalFit Corporate Fitness.
New Employees are urged to review and understand their first pay stubs to assure themselves that their elections of benefits have been correctly recorded. Questions may be referred to Office of Human Resources.
More comprehensive information is available on all these matters through the Office of Human Resources. In the event of any discrepancy between this brochure and the underlying plan documents, the underlying documents shall govern. The College may modify benefits at any time without prior notice.

Hollywood's Latino stars are taking to their Twitter pages to respond to a controversial new Arizona law that has drawn backlash from even the White House.
"ARIZONA .. George Lopez is coming .. Oops .. I just got pulled over .. Apparently I fit the profile .. Gacho !!" the late night comedian Tweeted on Friday, following up with more Tweets over the weekend.
"The Crackdown in ARIZONA continues .. The New Taco Bell TORTADA has been outlawed .by GOV Jan Brewer .. As a treat to the Colon"s of her people !" he Tweeted. "The changing the name of PATRON to make it more ARIZONA friendly .. Now .. PAT RON."
Ricky Martin also spoke out against the new law, which is aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration. However, some have suggested it will lead to unjust racial profiling.
"Racial profiling should never be tolerated, in the US or anywhere in the world. We're moving backwards. Scary. #SB1070," he Tweeted on Saturday.
Eva Longoria Parkerre-Tweeted both stars' messages, as well as a Tweet from President Barack Obama's official account – "The recent legislation in Arizona threatens to undermine basic notions of fairness."
Senate Bill 1070, signed by Gov. Brewer on Friday, represents a crackdown on illegal immigration and requires authorities to question individuals suspected of being illegal immigrants – prompting protests in the state capitol on Friday and leaving many concerned that the law will lead to racial profiling.
According to CNN, the governor will require officers to undergo "additional training" to avoid such concerns while enforcing the law.

Stevenage 1-1 Southend: Barry Corr header cancels out Dean Parrett strike
Last Updated: 12/05/15 8:59am
Stevenage and Southend will head into the second leg of their League Two play-off semi-final on level terms after a 1-1 draw at Broadhall Way.
Dean Parrett gave Stevenage the lead early in the second half with a fantastic long-range strike.
But Barry Corr's deflected header on the hour mark drew Southend level and they will now fancy their chances of finishing the job at Roots Hall in four days and booking a trip to Wembley.
The visitors went close to taking an early lead when Michael Timlin poked Corr's cut-back inches wide.
However, Timlin's evening came to a premature end shortly afterwards, when a sickening clash of heads with Bira Dembele left the midfielder soaked in blood from a gaping wound above his eye.
Worryingly, Dembele appeared to have been knocked out and was motionless on the ground, receiving treatment for seven minutes.
But while Timlin departed the action for 15 stitches, Dembele played on in a bandage until he was substituted at half-time.
Next to hit the deck was Boro goalkeeper Chris Day following a collision with Stephen McLaughlin, and suddenly all eyes turned to the Stevenage bench where, due to a spate of injuries, 56-year-old goalkeeping coach Dave Beasant had been named among the subs.
The former Wimbledon and Chelsea keeper climbed out of the dug-out to indulge in some gentle stretches, to the delight of the crowd, but Day was eventually able to play on.
Day - himself 39 - ensured the sides went in level at the break when, during nine minutes of stoppage time, he pulled off a fine save with his legs to keep out Dave Worrall's close-range shot.
However, six minutes after the interval the deadlock was broken when Parrett, who once cost Tottenham £1million as a 15-year-old, curled in a superb shot from 20 yards which flew over Southend keeper Dan Bentley into the top corner.
Southend hit back nine minutes later when Corr's header from McLaughlin's corner found its way past Day at the far post.
Day had to turn away a fierce John White drive and Bentley palmed Ben Kennedy's shot clear to leave the tie finely balanced ahead of Thursday's return leg.

The number of security vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser were so numerous for so long that it was routinely flagged as the most vulnerable Web browser on the market—in no small part because it was also the most widely-used browser on the market. However, competitors like Firefox have been gradually eroding Microsoft's browser share…and now they're starting to feel more security pressures themselves. In fact, Web security firm Cenzic has just released its application security vulnerability report for the first half of 2009 (PDF), and guess what browser tops the list? Firefox.
According to Cenzic, some 44 percent of the browser vulnerabilities uncovered in the first half of 2009 were in Firefox. Apple's Safari Web browser came in second with 35 percent, while Internet Explorer came in third place with 15 percent. Opera managed a fourth place finish with 6 percent of browser vulnerabilities found during the first half of the year.
Cenzic notes that the percentage of vulnerabilities reported for Safari is mainly due to problems found in the iPhone's version of the browser, rather than the desktop version for Mac OS X and Windows.
The figures are a marked change from the second half of 2008, when Internet Explorer accounted for 43 percent of reported browser vulnerabilities—although even then, Firefox wasn't far behind, with 39 percent.
Firefox's plug-in architecture is widely seen as one of Firefox's weakest points; Mozilla has recently launched a plug-in checking service to help users make sure they're using the latest versions of plug-ins, and the organization released key updates in April 2009 to address several plug-in vulnerabilities.
Cenzic's analysis doesn't make any distinction between security vulnerabilities that were corrected and vulnerabilities that have actually been exploited in the real world, which means that although Firefox had the most vulnerabilities reported, that doesn't actually mean its the least secure browser…or that Opera is the most secure.

CHIPLEY � The time of year following football season is often thought of as the �off season� for the CHS Band. However, the winter months have been equally as busy for the student musicians of the Chipley High School �Spirit of the Tiger� Band. Several members of the band have recently been recognized for their excellence in musicianship.
Florida State University hosted the 32nd annual Tri-State Band Festival in December, Three CHS Band students were selected to participate in as members of the Tri-State Honors Band: Seniors Julia Veit and Morgan Locke, and Junior Richard Wayne Davenport. These students rehearsed over three days and then performed a concert in Tallahassee.
The Florida Bandmasters Association All-State Bands were hosted by the City of Tampa in January. CHS was represented again this year by two students in the Florida High School All-State Honors Band, selected from schools from around our state. They were: Cary Laird, a Junior Flute player, and French Horn player Richard Wayne Davenport, also a Junior at CHS. With the financial help of the Chipley Band Boosters, these students traveled to Tampa to rehearse and perform with this prestigious group in early January 2013.
The FBA District Two Small Schools All-District Bands were selected and performed in late January at Marianna High School. 19 CHS Band members auditioned for the bands and all were accepted, with five students earning first chair positions. CHS Ninth Graders selected for the Junior High All-District Band were: Chloe Bruner, Clarinet (1st chair); Jesse Deese, French Horn; Mikayla Henderson, Trumpet; Allie Sapp, Flute; Ethan Schwartz, Tuba; and Austin Wyatt, Trumpet (1st chair). Senior High members from CHS were: Richard Davenport, French Horn; Cassie Drummond, Flute; Malcolm Funderburk, Clarinet; Andrew King, Trumpet; Cary Laird, Flute (1st chair); Morgan Locke, French Horn; Lindsay Miller, Flute; Chelsea McEntyre, Trumpet; Katie Register, Tenor Sax; Nick Spencer, Tuba; Denise Spracklen, Bass CL (1st chair); Mary-Rosalyn Taylor, Trumpet; and Julia Veit, Alto Sax (1st chair);
The first weekend in February, seven CHS students performed as members of the 40th annual Southeastern United States Concert Band Clinic and Honor Bands at Troy University. Seven CHS students were placed by audition in the top two honor bands at the event, including Richard Wayne Davenport, Cassie Drummond, Andrew King, David King, Lindsay Miller, Nick Spencer, and Denise Spracklen. The students rehearsed over three days in Troy, and concluded the weekend with a concert to show off what they had learned from their nationally recognized guest conductors.
Feb. 8-9, 2013 saw nearly 400 students converge on the campus of the Baptist College of Florida in Graceville, for the Florida Bandmasters Association District Two Solo and Ensemble Performance Assessment. The CHS Band entered events at the festival, and came away with 14 �Superior� medals. Several students earned Superiors on difficult music and qualified for the FBA State S&E Assessment in March. Qualifying for state were: Cary Laird, Flute solo; Lindsay Miller, flute solo; Cassie Drummond, flute solo; Richard Wayne Davenport, French horn solo. Color Guard Captain Denise Spracklen also qualified for State by earning a superior on her Flag solo. Senior Julia Veit, who played a Beethoven Sonata for Piano from memory, earned a �Superior with Distriinction� for her performance. Also earning Superior ratings were: Jesse Deese, with solos on French Horn and xylophone; Nick Spencer, tuba solo, Emily Smith, Bb clarinet solo, and a snare drum duet performed by freshman percussionists Tyler Adkison and Shelby Savell. The CHS Color Guard earned a Superior on their flag quartet routine, as did flag soloist Cheyenne Rabon.
Other students performing from CHS that earned an �Excellent� rating on their events were: Chloe Bruner, clarinet solo; Megan Julian, bassoon solo; Andrew King, trumpet solo; Eddie Mosley, alto sax solo, Katie Register, tenor sax solo, Nathan Spencer, alto sax solo; Denise Spracklen, bass clarinet solo; Austin Wyatt, trumpet solo and a French horn quartet composed of Morgan Locke, Richard Davenport, Andrew King and Jesse Deese. These students would like to thank their piano accompanists who volunteered many hours to assist them; Mrs. Rachel Bruner, Mrs. Jenee� Floyd, Ms. Julia Veit and Mr. Sam Toole.
Congratulations to these students for their fine individual performances. According to CHS Band Director Richard Davenport, band members� participation in these �extra� events are an integral part of what make the �Spirit of the Tiger� Band program strong and able to carry on their tradition of excellence.
The CHS Band is now preparing for several performances in the coming months, including the District Concert Band Festival hosted by CHS on March 8-9.
