Processors Working to Remove the Guilt From Desserts and Confections
And guilt comes in many forms: unnecessary calories, gluten and "artificial" sweeteners and color additives among them.
It's never a bad idea to remove some of the guilt associated with sweet indulgences if the taste doesn't suffer as a result. Confection manufacturers have spent the past few years learning they can deliver confections that are visually alluring and delightful to eat yet don't break the calorie bank.
Today, they are facing yet another challenge within the same category, that of avoiding chemicals and preservatives consumers have been shunning.
Whether the subject is artificial colors, fake flavors or sweeteners with names torn from chemistry texts, consumers seeking pure indulgence want just that: a pure indulgence, one with a clean label and a hint — just a hint, mind you — of health.
Although many manufacturers would rather not think about this, those who can pull off this triple play have a good shot at gaining home base with a loyal audience. They know they'll have a winner.
Sweet Solutions
Case in point: Belgian chocolate manufacturer Cavalier Chocolatiers (www.cavalier.be), Eeklo, Belgium, offers an extensive selection of milk and dark chocolates that are sugar-free and include healthy mix-ins such as crisped barley, freeze-dried fruits, flax and whole grains.
Cavalier's sugar-free formulation now comes via stevia, and the company is one of the first in the EU to get approval to use the naturally derived sweetener in confections – it was just approved by the European Commission last November.
As with many chocolate products, the company's products are textured with soy lecithin but also include soluble fibers like inulin. The chocolates can claim a good complement of antioxidants from chocolate and some of the other ingredients, such as the fruits.
This type of sweet is right on target with the current general perception of consumer desires in a dessert or sweet snack. Research from the Mintel Group (www.mintel.com), New York, shows that, despite obesity concerns, healthier chocolates with "low-in …" claims are likely to remain niche. This is because chocolate is a classic, affordable and appealing treat. People are more likely to cut back on total consumption than turn to healthier variants that can fall short on taste.
Starting in the 2000s, this made strategies like portion control, lighter formats via aeration and even chocolate-coated nuts or seeds important to building healthier confections. While these remain successful, of the chocolate confectionary products launched on the past six months in North America, only 15 percent carried natural or health/wellness claims, according to Mintel. The most dominant claims were "seasonal" and "Kosher." Of the ones that did have health/wellness claims, "no additives/preservatives," "organic" and "Kosher" topped the list.
Now that stevia has become pure enough — and familiar enough — to consumers as a "friendly" sugar substitute, a floodgate of low- or no-sugar confections might be about to open.
"As the first all-natural, zero calorie sweetener, stevia is a healthier alternative to highly caloric sucrose or undesired artificial sweeteners," says James Kempland, vice president of Sweet Green Fields LLC (www.sweetgreenfields.com), Bellingham, Wash.
"There are a number of high-quality substitutes the confectionary industry has been using for some time with very successful results," he continues. "A number of gums, mints, soft and hard candies and chocolates that use stevia in their formulations are currently available, and more are in development, to respond to the growing consumer demand for healthier, lower calorie, natural products."

Pouty lips are lips that are especially full or semi-puckered, as when expressing real or mock dissatisfaction by pouting. Some women believe that having ground-up gristle (also known as collagen) injected into their lips will make them poutier and hence more desirable.
"She's not really upset. She just thinks having pouty lips is sexy or something."
by Hey Nonny Mouse May 01, 2007
Silly & stupid smiles typically used by Generation Y girls who think they're destined for a career in modeling, or living vicariously thru celebrities like Britney Spears, Xtina Aguilera or Paris Hilton. Usually accompanied by the scissor gang mafia sign, an upraised alcoholic drink, while wearing obscenely large Dolce & Gabbana eyewear and hanging on a douchebag.

noun. Term used to describe over-inflated outer pussy lips. Commonly found on a woman who was really fat at one time, but now she is much thinner. She still has a big fat snapper. When a chick loses weight, the hooters are the first to go, but the snapper usually stays big and fat.
Guy: Dude, you're ho looks great since she lost all that weight.
Friend: Yeah, I know, but she still has a big "pouty" hangin' on her. Look at that big bulge in her shorts.

Bully for San Bernardino
California cities reject a dubious mortgage seizure scheme.
It may be more good news than readers can take in one day (see above), but this week politicians in financially struggling Southern California decided to think about the long run instead of going for a politically tempting quick fix. So bully to San Bernardino County and two Inland Empire cities for rejecting a proposal to use eminent domain to seize privately owned, residential mortgages.
The eminent-domain scheme was floated by San Francisco-based venture-capital firm Mortgage Resolution Partners as an easy, cost-free way...

Salsarita's, the national Fresh Mexican Cantina, is pleased to announce the addition of Mark Cote to the corporate team as vice president of operations.
Cote brings more than 30 years of operations experience in the restaurant industry to Salsarita's. He will lead the franchise business consultant team, as well as the menu development, design and construction, and training departments.
"Having recently relocated to the Charlotte area with my family, I was eagerly seeking a company that would be the right fit for my experience and skill set," Cote says.
"Salsarita's restaurants are clean, the food is fresh and plentiful, the speed of service is amazing, the atmosphere is fun and upbeat thanks to great employees, and the customers are excited to be there," he adds. "I really look forward to meeting each franchisee and working to make Salsarita's even better."
Cote most recently ran the operations of Boston Bread, the Panera Bread franchisee in Boston, overseeing the day-to-day operations of 16 Panera locations and 750 employees.
Before that, Cote worked for Friendly Ice Cream Corporation, starting as a district manager and moving up the ladder through training and human resources positions to director of operations and director of training and development.
Cote also worked in restaurant operations for brands like D'Angelo Sandwich Shops and Darden York Steak House.
"Mark brings a great deal of experience and talent to our team," says president and COO Larry Reinstein. "His people-development skills are going to greatly benefit our organization and franchise system as we grow.
"His pedigree with industry-leading brands will lead to better day-to-day operations," he continues. "Finally, his energy for the job is unsurpassed. We are very confident that Mark will be a great fit for Salsarita's."
Founded in 2000 in Charlotte, North Carolina, Salsarita's operates more than 80 franchised locations in 19 states.
Two restaurants are company-owned. Salsarita's expects to have at least two to three new franchise agreements signed before the end of 2012, with long-range projections calling for more than 300 locations nationwide over the next several years.

For 35 years, the Community Foundation has been doing �good� in Gaston County. One of the good things it does is honor local men and women who also do good things for this community.
Last week at the foundation�s annual gathering , it was time to honor Marshall Rauch and his wife, Jeanne, whose good works continue to impact the lives of many long after her death.
The couple received the Allen H. Sims Award, named for the Gastonia resident who left a legacy of generosity.
Travel almost anywhere across North Carolina and you�ll find folks who know Marshall Rauch from his decades in the General Assembly. His hard work and bright mind led him to powerful posts in the Senate.
Here at home, folks know another side of Rauch � the giving side. His business success provided the means to contribute mightily in ways that enrich life in Gaston County.
Among the most visible are the couple�s contributions to the arts, underlining Mrs. Rauch�s love of art and talent as an artist.
In her prime years, Jeanne Rauch gave of her time and talent to countless projects.
Getting the Art Guild started. Jeanne Rauch took the lead.
Organizing the Art and History Museum. Jeanne Rauch was at the center.
The Little Theater. The Girl Scouts. Name a good thing and, in Gaston County, you could count on Jeanne Rauch to do whatever it took to nurture and support it.
Her good friend Lucy Penegar , recalling the many projects she worked on with Mrs. Rauch, said simply, �I miss her.�
And so do many across Gaston County who benefitted from her tireless efforts as a community volunteer.
While his contributions as a Senator are well-documented, Marshall Rauch�s good works in other areas are less known to Gaston residents of today�s generation.
Principal among them are his efforts to help steer his city through the tumultuous years when communities everywhere faced the challenges of integration.
In no small part because of Rauch�s steady hand and heartfelt respect for all, integration in Gastonia moved along successfully, evidenced by how quickly African-American residents were elected and appointed to positions of leadership by the entire community.
The Community Foundation has handed out nearly $70 million for charitable causes since its inception, thanks to an abundance of Gaston residents who share the Rauches � philanthropic values.
The foundation chose well when it chose Marshall and Jeanne Rauch as recipients of this year�s Allen H. Sims Award.

ADDRESS: 11 Glover Square, Marblehead
BATHROOMS: 3 full; 3 half
LIVING SPACE: 3,728 sq. ft.
Gracious, grand and gorgeous. That's the essence of the General Glover home. Exquisite moldings, high ceilings at least nine feet high, raised paneled wainscoting and paneled doors begin when the front door opens and continue throughout the house.
What is more remarkable, is that this home underwent a such comprehensive restoration in 2012 that trying to distinguish "old" from "new" borders on impossible. The floors are a prime example. When the magnificent wide boards were refinished (or replaced when necessary) they were reinstalled with original nails and/or hand-crafted replicated ones. And the list goes on.
A few highlights
The central staircase is particularly stunning. In addition to intricately turned spindles, classic carved designs on the outside of the staircase and on the underside of the stairs make this installation art.
Decorated dentil molding is one of many highlights in the large elegant living room. Six-over-six windows — there are five — with Indian shutters that fold flush into the window frames are others. Still, the fireplace with a surround of delicate carvings is the showpiece. In addition, two double-door, shallow cabinets are installed in a "bump in" on each side of the fireplace.
That the original owner went down to the sea in ships is evident by a unique architectural feature on the fireplace wall. Initially the ceiling looks "off" as it's not perfectly straight. At closer examination, however, the slight curve is very reminiscent of the bow of a ship.
The dining room is — although it seems impossible — even more impressive. Here full paneling is above a gigantic fireplace complete with hanger. An adjacent closet has period H-style hinges and latch.
21st Century amenities are here, too. For example, a half bath in the hallway leads to the kitchen.
Talk about kitchen envy …
Simply spectacular, the 21st Century eat-in kitchen (with all the bells and whistles) works wonderfully in this antique home.
Beautiful custom cabinetry (including a pull-out pantry) matches paneling in the rest of the house. Under-cabinet lighting helps when doing prep work and also showcases beautiful black honed granite countertops and farmer's sink plus the contrasting subway tile backsplash. A center island with storage on two sides seats two. A large banquette eat-in area ensconced in a bump out is surrounded by two windows — one with 32 panes of glass; 16 on the side window.
Original features like the fireplace with a massive hanger add character and presence. So does a Dutch door with period "arrow" hinges that leads to the brick patio and a beautifully landscaped yard.
Reclaimed (and matching) wood floor boards (from other parts of the house and a warehouse in Manhattan) create a seamless look in the adjacent family room. A wall of built-in cabinets with hand-crafted hinges "hide" the modern flat screen television.
Attention to detail continues in the mudroom where matching cabinetry and paneling runs three-quarters of the way up the wall. A built-in bench makes it easy to put on/remove boots/shoes/etc.
By the way, the laundry room is also off the kitchen.
Second floor gems
The master bedroom is one of the more memorable rooms in this home for a very surprising reason: size. The sleeping chamber is gigantic, accommodating a king size bed easily plus highboys, chests and even seating with space left over. A walk-in closet is included, too.
This very attractive and inviting space with a fireplace on a full paneled wall and double crown molding has large windows overlooking a lush cherry tree in the yard.
A pocket door leads to a luxurious, spa-like en suite bathroom with a marble tile floor in a classic basketweave pattern and a semi-polished black granite vanity counter. Honed marble subway tile on the wall behind the free-standing soaker tub "hides" a frameless-glass enclosed, walk-in steam shower with multiple sprays and is separated from the commode "room" by a privacy wall.
The remaining bedrooms have delightful and distinctive features. One that has a fireplace and is large enough for a king-size bed has the "bowed" wall like the living room below.
Another en suite bedroom has original latches on the door to a closet next to the fireplace. The bathroom has a steam shower with a full surround of four-inch marble tiles.
Keep going
A large skylight insures the entire stairwell is always bright even on the journey to the third floor and additional living space. However a bonus room is used — guest space or office — a captivating harbor view is a perk. So are two built-in hutches and original exposed beams.
Two additional bedrooms share a bathroom with step-in shower with a full surround of marble subway tile.
In case you wondered — yes, this home has attic space.
A little house history
The house was built in 1762 by General John Glover, a brigadier general in the Continental Army. Glover was the leader of the "Amphibious Regiment" of Marblehead that rowed George Washington and his army safely across the Delaware River at Trenton on Dec. 25, 1776.
The house is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Press v politicians: can tabloids still take on the over-mighty?
Imagine a top tabloid newspaper supported a leading 'non-Westminster' politician through his difficult divorce. Instead of printing hard-hitting stories about the moral duplicity of this very Christian politician, it publishes soft-focus, upbeat articles about his lovely new wife and their joyous life together. The politician goes on to become a leading national figure, but then the tabloid discovers a story of his corruption when he was back in the regions. The politician rings up the tabloid editor to threaten 'unpleasant and public consequences' if they publish. What happens next?
The Leveson inquiry has not really got to grips with this aspect of media practice. Never mind the law or the codes, feel the power. In the past, commentators like John Lloyd felt the press had become too mighty and could make or break politicians and even determine elections. Then during the Blair/Campbell years it was felt the pendulum had swung the opposite way. Perhaps some people could imagine Peter Mandelson making a similar threat to a journalist at the height of his career?
In fact the scenario outlined above is playing out in the real world. In Germany, the President, Christian Wulff, was silly enough to try to intimidate his old chums on Bild. The tabloid ignored the threats and published the story of how Wulff had taken a very large secret loan from the wife of a local businessman. He then lied about it. The scandal now threatens to end the career of the man who is, in effect, Germany's head of state. In the midst of the Eurozone crisis, this is not good news for Angela Merkel.
But the point is that – without subterfuge or phone-hacking – this German tabloid has turned on its former political ally. As the chief executive of Bild's publisher, the Springer group, Mathias Döpfner said "whoever takes the elevator up with Bild will also take the elevator down with it".
It is always difficult to make international comparisons. Is Axel Springer comparable to Rupert Murdoch? As I have written elsewhere, British tabloids are pretty unusual. But the question does spring to mind – could it, or perhaps rather, how would it happen here?

New Jersey Gov. Christie vetoes state-run health exchange bill
TRENTON, N.J. – New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has vetoed legislation establishing a state-run health insurance exchange in line with the Affordable Care Act.
But he says in his veto message he has not eliminated any of the options available to states to comply with the national health overhaul sometimes referred to as "Obamacare."
Christie says it would be irresponsible to decide now without knowing how much each option will cost.
The states have until Dec. 14 to decide whether to establish a state-based exchange. They can also partner with the federal government or let the feds run the state exchange.
Health insurance exchanges are online marketplaces where uninsured residents can shop for health care coverage.
The Republican governor is in Washington on Thursday to lobby for Superstorm Sandy aid.

For VP, Carlson Executive Education Course Was 'Exactly What I Needed'
When Franco Cusipag was looking to further his education, he turned to the Carlson Executive Education website to review courses. He knew that the programs offered targeted subject matter from top instructors all in a compressed amount of time. When he noticed the scholarship opportunity, his interest was piqued even further.
"We're a small, growing company; so funds are limited," says Cusipag, the VP of finance at Netgain Technology, a healthcare information technology provider based in St. Cloud, Minn. "I came across the scholarship and I knew that if I were to get that, it would be easier for management to support me taking a course. So I applied."
To Cusipag's delight, he in fact did get the scholarship and joined nine others as inaugural winners of the 2010 Carlson Executive Education scholarship, a program designed to offer assistance to small companies and nonprofit organizations that need additional business knowledge to survive and thrive in the current tough economy.
"It was one of my prouder days as an employee, as an academic, as a person," Cusipag says of receiving his scholarship award letter. "I showed it to our CEO right away and got excited."
Cusipag, a University alum, opted to utilize his scholarship toward Mergers & Acquisitions - Creating Shareholder Value, a topic he says is very active in the medical technology field.
"I was fairly excited going in, especially knowing the subject matter was exactly what I needed," he says. "I was pleasantly surprised by the people that attended it. They've got a great mix of people with different perspectives. They had venture capitalists, they had strategists, they had the right industry experience and it made for good discussion.
"I know that the experience was unique and valuable. I got to meet a lot of great people, stayed connected with a handful, and will probably be doing business with some of them."
Mark Kizilos, assistant dean of Carlson Executive Education, says he's very pleased that the scholarship has helped so many Minnesota-based companies.
"Just seeing how this scholarship has opened up opportunities for Franco and the other nine winners is very rewarding," Kizilos says. "Our hope is that this educational opportunity will not only help grow the winners' businesses, but, in turn, the Minnesota economy as well."
Scholarship or no scholarship, Cusipag says that the education he received is well worth the price of a Carlson Executive Education course.
"I would have paid for it, in hindsight, because of the value that I got out of it," he says. "If someone is thinking about continuing their education, consider Carlson Executive Education. It's well-run, it's organized, and I think the quality is outstanding."
Those who are considering continuing their education might be able to do so with the help of a scholarship as Carlson Executive Education has re-launched the program for 2011. Minnesota small companies and nonprofit organizations can apply by articulating how attending a Carlson Executive Education open enrollment program will enable them to overcome challenges or capitalize on opportunities. Carlson Executive Education will again award 10 scholarships for up to $3,500 for one program registration.

Barak and Martin
|Jem and Addis (or is it Barak and Bo?)
His voice booming, he said, "Hey! You look just like Barak Obama! You look like Barak Obama!"
He was so loud that the people around us stopped talking and turned toward our table. The boys and I stared at each other with our 'what the heck' faces.
The boy ran to his mother and yelled, "He looks like Barak Obama!"
The mom came close to me and said "He just had a therapy appointment." and then added in a stage whisper, "He's kind of special."
She returned to her conversation, her son ran back to our table. This time he pointed at Mikias and yelled, "And you! You look just like Martin Luther King!"
Our fellow diners returned to eating. Friends who were seated nearby commented at how uncomfortable the exchange was.
The boys were embarrassed. Jem wanted to know what his deal was. Mikias wanted to know what being special meant. I didn't know what to say other than that some kids don't have complete control over the way they act and might not understand that what they are saying is rude or embarrassing. I told them I was really sorry about the boy making them feel uncomfortable. I told them I was uncomfortable, too.
I try hard not to judge other parents. I don't know what they are dealing with. I will admit though, I found myself thinking that that mom should have stopped talking and paid attention to what her son was doing. Seriously, after the Barak comment the MLK comparison could have been stopped in it's tracks.
However, I was thinking, that since my sons' are the spitting image of Barak and Martin, and this Monday one is being inaugurated and the other's birthday is being celebrated, perhaps dinner should have been on the house.

Hot Chocolate
Here is Rob Kasper's favorite recipe for hot chocolate, which he says "has been tested on snow shovelers." Hot Chocolate Topped With Chocolate Whipped Cream Makes 4-6 mug servings HOT CHOCOLATE: 3 cups milk 3 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate cut into bits TOPPING: 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder 3 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 cup heavy cream, chilled 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk just to a boil. Remove from heat, add the chocolate, and stir or whisk until well blended. To make Chocolate Whipped Cream topping, combine the cocoa powder and powdered sugar in a small bowl. In a chilled medium bowl, combine the cream and vanilla and whip until peaks form. With the mixer running or while whisking by hand, gradually pour in the cocoa mixture; whip until well blended.

Unless paid-memberships were to decline for some reason doubt things will ever change though.
My experience (5+ years) is that the ones who cause the most trouble are often paying members. Can't imagine why, but then nothing they do is really logical or rational.
Downside of this (to the active-membership) is numerous sockpuppets/cheats/idiots and ghost-members.
Paying membership never reduced this on ICC. At least in the idiots category. Chessbase's playchess is mostly pay and it takes time to get a game. FICS has been eclipsed by here. Chess.com seems to be a comfortable medium to all. Lots of games lots of players. A few idiots.
Nope. I do disagree with that "whatever".
Well I dunno' how could ya' not like a golden mug like me!..
hi ponz. I hear you man. I've been writing to chess.com for the past few days about a person who had three different aliases, and was causing a LOT of trouble and causing me a LOT of grief in a forum I'm in. When I busted him all three accounts closed within forty five minutes of each other, and I have no doubt they will reappear under other aliases. One of his aliases befriended me via a message and a game of online chess, while probing me for how I felt about the topic under discussion, while his other alias, on the forum, was harassing, provoking, and calling me names and terrible accusations. Its terrible, and I'm a vulnerable sucker for this stuff, cuz I'm nice. This person carried our fight onto wikipedia, and started saying crazy accusations about me in edit forums on wikipedia; he also has multiple aliases on wikipedia; one of them was closed on wiki, but the other two are still there.
Its a problem of virtual reality. I don't have any answers, just empathy.
I have had several imposters [or maybe just one or two persons] who have caused me problems. One changed my wikipedia to things not true. Some have posted on my threads, and other things I will not mention.
Is there a solution to this problem?
to be quite honest. no there isn't a solution. Both chess.com and wikipedia do not stop people from having multiple accounts. They 'ask' people to have just one account, but from my limited (and Verrry upsetting) experience of the last few days, there are a few bad apples on chess.com, and a few bad apples on wikipedia, and they spoil it for everyone. wikipedia is 'democratic' so articles become battlegrounds for supporters and enemies of particular topics and people. I have been on wikipedia almost nonstop for the past three days, and I"ve had quite the education in how imperfect it is. It was about a chess player who will go unnamed (it wasn't you or anything to do with you) and for some reason some lowlifes wanted to say crazy nasty stuff about him, and they accused anyone who supported him as one of his "army of sockpuppets'. Some of these lowlifes are very determined, very handy with switching aliases, and very mean-spirited. they have no commitment whatsoever to truth or fairness or common decency' they're in it for the fun ride. It is a perverted fun ride, but people have their perversions.
So the quick answer is no, there is no solution. I don't know the details of the trouble you've had, but if someone is out to get you they will draw you in and fight like snakes and you will stop going to sleep and you will feel hunted and targeted, which you are being.
In my experience, which is one week old, and it has been a terrible week, it has been one or two people. I identified two of them. One of them had only one alias, and was a nasty but harmless and transparent little twit. The other one had three aliases on chess.com, and has at least three on wikipedia, and he is a career provocateur, a career as*hole, a career creep.
My best advice is pay it no mind. If its your wikipedia page, leave it alone. Let someone else fight it out. Do NOT do the fighting yourself. It will sap your strength and your sanity. Do NOT fight the fight yourself. You are a chessplayer. A real one. Let the perverted lowlifes have their little wikipedia guerilla editing parties, and let them tell their friends about all the lowlife things they've done that week.
By the way, I tried to take this to the highest level on wikipedia. Its a zoo. and there are some nasty predators out there.

Canadians looking for more Android in their lives will be happy to hear that they may be receiving the HTC Legend in the near future. Canadian Android news site Mobile Syrup was tipped off that the 2.1-sporting, 3.2-inch-AMOLED phone will be appearing as an exclusive to provider Bell.
Bell has had a run of bad luck with exclusives, as they were the only Canadian provider to offer the Palm Pre. With Palm's recent sale to HP, the company could use a good strong phone to offer; at the moment the only other Android phone in its stable is the Samsung Galaxy.

Action-Packed AES 127th Convention Still the World's #1 Pro Audio Show
Attendees and Exhibitors Look Forward To 129th In San Francisco NEW YORK: If positive signs signal a welcome shift in uncertain times, the 127th Audio Engineering Society Convention may represent a harbinger to the return of a healthy, optimistic pro audio industry. AES Executive Director Roger Furness, Committee Chair Agnieszka Roginska, outgoing president Jim Anderson and the entire Committee cadre, report high marks from the 321 exhibitors and 18,162 attendees alike. "We had a level of trepidation going to shows this year because of the world economy," reports Piers Plaskitt, CEO of SSL, Inc. "The AES Convention, however, exceeded our expectations by delivering a wide range of prospects from decision-makers to students. Our booth was busy from start to finish. We look forward to participating in San Francisco in 2010.""This year's AES was a very pleasant surprise: a large quantity of well-qualified traffic. We saw top people from beginning to end and were thrilled with the results," states TransAudio Group president Brad Lunde. "Our Audio Underground Row 500 was packed and all our exhibitors along the row reported excellent results. I was approached by a number of exhibitors wanting to get involved in "The Row" for next year!""A number of first time exhibitors signed on this year," Roger Furness points out. "Shoreview Distribution; mh acoustics; Phoenix Audio; Savannah College of Art and Design and Webster University are but a few who made their AES debut at the Javits Center. This proliferation of up and coming firms represents a positive commitment to industry growth. The buzz on the show floor was palpably upbeat, and the steady isle traffic kept exhibitors busy demoing their gear throughout the four day event."Equally enthusiastic, Agnieszka Roginska points to an efficient, committed and eminently professional Convention Committee for keeping the densely packed Broadcast, Educational, Game Audio, Historical, Live Sound, Papers, Platinum, Tutorial,Workshop, Master Class and Technical Tour programs running like the proverbial well-oiled machine. "Each Committee member was equally over-qualified, over zealous and occasionally over-opinionated," Roginska says. "We were extremely fortunate to have the benefit of their experience and enthusiasm. From a hand-picked crew of volunteers to a flawless technical production, this alliance of champions has done themselves and the AES proud. It is impossible to over praise them, but their names bear repeating, in boldface type." Broadcast Chair, David Bialik; Facilities Chair, Michael McCoy; Historical Chair, Harry Hirsch; Live Sound Co-Chairs, Henry Cohen and Mac Kerr; Master Class Chair, Alan Silverman; Papers Co-Chairs, Veronique Larcher and Steve Garrett; Platinum Chair, Paul Verna; Technical Tours Chair, Lou Manno; Tutorials/ Workshops/Game Audio Chair, Alex Case and Volunteers Chair, Doron Schachter. Jim Anderson points to a standout program of events at the heart of this year's Convention. "Beginning with an immensely entertaining keynote speech by Peabody Award-winning broadcaster Bill McGlaughlin, a presentation which actually inspired me to revisit Aaron Copeland's Appalachian Spring, to a series of totally packed Platinum events and brilliant daily keynotes, this year's convention signifies a genuine milestone," Anderson said. "The dedicated Audio For Video Game Track recognized one of the most important sectors of today's industry, and the mentoring programs continue to inspire and inform the next-generation of audio professionals." "We were extremely happy with the turnout at this year's AES show, as it exceeded our expectations," concludes Gerald Krulewicz, president of Wireworks Corporation. "Our booth was consistently busy and we had a high caliber of visitors that were genuinely interested in our products for upcoming installations. We always enjoy AES in New York, it gives us the perfect opportunity to meet with our existing customers and begin to forge relationships with new ones - AES 2009 was a success for Wireworks!" The 129th AES Convention will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, November 4-7, 2010.Photo 1: 127th AES Convention Day 1 Registration, NY's Javits CenterPhoto 2: 127th AES Convention Day 1 Exhibition Hall, NY's Javits CenterFor high res versions of these and other Convention photos please visit: www.aes.org ###The Audio Engineering Society was formed in 1948 by a group of concerned audio engineers. The AES counts over 14,000 members throughout the U.S., Latin America, Europe, Japan and the Far East. The organization serves as the pivotal force in the exchange and dissemination of technical information for the industry. For additional information visit http://www.aes.org

Last week, Gen. Norton A. Schwartz, chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force, confirmed a no-longer-surprising fact: the Pentagon has sent the White House a menu of options for going to war with Iran.
But that doesn't mean the military thinks bombing Iran would be a good idea. "It's not prudent at this point to decide to attack Iran," Schwartz's boss, Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on CNN last month, adding that his advice applied to Israel as well as the United States. "A strike at this time would be destabilizing and wouldn't achieve their objectives," Dempsey said.
It's hard to find a high-rankingU.S. militaryofficer who thinks war with Iran is a good idea. They point out that it is unclear that bombing Iran would succeed in stopping the Islamic Republic from developing nuclear technology, and that an attack would almost surely provoke Iranian retaliation and touch off a longer, wider war.
But that hasn't stopped President Obama from rattling the saber.
"When the United States says it is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say," he told Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic last week. "As president of the United States, I don't bluff."
Part of the reason Obama sounds more hawkish than his generals is that he hopes the threat of military action can help bring Iran around. But he's also trying to navigate a delicate situation with a leader who's ostensibly one of his closest allies, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu and his defense minister, Ehud Barak, have said that they don't believe economic sanctions and negotiations are working fast enough to persuade Iran to curtail its nuclear program. Barak has warned that Iran's nuclear facilities will soon be so deep underground that they will be in a "zone of immunity," safe from military attack — or at least safe from the scale of attack that Israel could muster.
Once that happens, Israel would have to depend on the United States for protection, and that's not a position the Israelis want to be in. So Netanyahu and Barak have publicly suggested that it may soon be time for Israel to strike, despite the dangers that an attack would bring.
Are the Israelis serious? They say they are, and the Obama administration is taking them at their word. Over the past two months, a parade of U.S. defense officials has visited Israel. This week, Netanyahu is visiting Washington — hoping, according to Israeli media reports, to win a promise from Obama that the United States will prevent Iran from even attaining the capability to build nuclear weapons. Until now, the United States has said it will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, but Israel wants the red line moved to the less easily defined point of "capability."
For all Netanyahu's bluster, Israeli officials still say war with Iran is something they'd like to avoid. An Israeli attack on Iran would almost certainly lead not only to direct retaliation from Tehran, but also a ground war with Hezbollah, the pro-Iranian militia that rules southern Lebanon. A poll of Israelis released last week found that only 19% favor attacking Iran without U.S. support, and only 42% favor an attack even with U.S. support.
Even Netanyahu has said that the outcome he'd prefer is an Iranian retreat in the face of economic sanctions, with no military action by anyone.
But is that possible?
The United States and its European allies have been working on proposals for the next round of nuclear talks with Iran, which are planned to begin next month. The aim, Obama said in his interview with the Atlantic, is to induce Iran's leaders "to make a strategic calculation" to delay "whatever potential breakout capacity they may have."
That probably means some kind of deal under which Iran would agree to limit its enrichment of uranium to levels well below what's needed for nuclear weapons and submit to international inspections that would reassure Israel and other countries that it is not pursuing secret military projects.
The idea, said Dennis Ross, a former Obama advisor, would be to "stop the clock" and freeze Iran's nuclear technology at a level that doesn't threaten anyone else. But that would likely require the United States and its allies to soften their previous demand that Iran suspend all uranium enrichment as a first step.
Obama noted that Iranian leaders have frequently insisted they aren't seeking nuclear weapons. "So it doesn't require them to knuckle under to us," he said. But it would require them to allow more intrusive inspections than they have accepted in the past.
The Obama administration contends that a deal like that is more possible than ever before, because economic sanctions against Iran have finally begun to bite. But to obtain an agreement with Iran, the United States needs Israel to stay its hand.
The term "brinkmanship" was coined during the Cold War to describe threats of military action that, if implemented, would lead to disaster for both sides. It's ironic that in this case, the brinkmanship is coming from America's ally, Netanyahu, and it carries the potential of calamity not only for Iran and Israel, but for the United States as well.

P.S. My entry tonight is actually dedicated to someone that really needs our prayers right now! How perfect that I came upon this image from you!
The Theme is Hope, the Prayer is that you will read below about a special lil one name Memphis and maybe even reach deep into your hearts and help a little...or alot. My dear friend Nina met this little Angel simply shooting at her job one day and as she loves and cares about strangers in need as friends she could not just stand by and watch. She went into action and you can take part in that action. In this season of Hope...would you give Hope to a family that is struggling as their baby has undergone some harsh realities in his most recent task to fight for his life. Click on the link below and you can read his story and see the pictures of Memphis. As a mother of three children I am moved deeply by the trials and tribulations of this young family. My friend Nina you may not see so much on BP lately but that is because she is busy giving of her time with no recognition needed, giving the recognition and praise to others while she serves everyone amidst great health issues that would

Series 85176
District Court (Fifth District : Beaver County) Declarations of intention record books
Dates: i 1896-1940.
1.00 cubic foot and 3 microfilm reels
These records are housed in the Utah State Archives' permanent storage room.
Scope and Content
To become a citizen of the United States, an individual normally filed a "declaration of intention to become a citizen" at least two years prior to applying for citizenship. The next step was the naturalization hearing at which the candidate and witnesses either made oral statements or filed written petitions and affidavits attesting to the applicant's character, worthiness to become a citizen, and the validity of statements made to the court. If the judge found the applicant eligible to become a citizen, an oath was administered and the individual renounced his former citizenship. At this point a certificate of citizenship was issued documenting the fact. These volumes contain recorded copies of the declarations of individuals' intentions to later become United States citizens and to renounce current citizenship. The first forms contain little more than the declarant's name and native country, but forms after 1906 contain more detailed information about both the individual and his family.
The first volume contains preprinted forms created by the court. The forms contain blanks for the individual's name, sovereign, date, and signatures of the individual and the court clerk witnessing the statement. There are two typed copies of a new form from the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization glued into the back of the first volume which record entries for December 26, 1906, and for February 18, 1907. An additional entry made on the old forms for March 13, 1930 is marked obsolete.
The subsequent two volumes of forms were furnished to the court clerks by the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization of the Department of Commerce and Labor (later the Naturalization Service of the U.S. Dept. of Labor). Each volume was to be indexed and the declarations numbered consecutively beginning with number 1 in volume 1. Loose sheets were also furnished so the duplicate copy could be given to the declarant and the triplicate copy mailed to the Bureau of Naturalization. The forms contain blanks for the name and location of the court; the individual's name, age, occupation, color, complexion, height, weight, hair color, eye color, visible distinctive marks, birthplace, birthdate, and current residence; the location from which he emigrated to the United States and the vessel name; his last foreign residence; the name and title of the ruler to whom he would be renouncing allegiance; and the port and date of arrival in the United States.
By 1917, additional blanks were inserted to record his marital status, and if married, his wife's name (altered to "spouse's name" after 1922 when married women could seek citizenship on their own instead of automatically assuming the nationality of their husbands), birthplace and residence. He was to take an oath that he was not an anarchist or polygamist, and that it was his intention to become a United States citizen and make the country his permanent residence. Blanks were provided for his signature and for the date and signature of the court clerk who witnessed his oath. By the 1930s, more blanks were added for sex, race, present nationality; marriage date and place along with the spouse's birthdate and date and place of entrance to the United States; the number of children with their names, birthdate, birthplace, and residence; any previous declaration of intention, with number, location, and court; and his or her name at entry.
In 1941, the Immigration and Naturalization Service was moved to the U.S. Department of Justice. They also began limiting the number of courts hearing citizenship applications, and residents from Beaver county were henceforth to file in either Iron or Juab county district courts.
Chronological by filing date.

Taylor Swift Embraces Solitude + Death in 'Safe & Sound' Video
When introducing her video from her swank, sunny Los Angeles pad, Taylor Swift is so cheery and bubbly that the 'Safe & Sound' video's dank atmosphere is jarring.Talking to MTV, wearing a black lace A-line dress, Swift gushed about how excited she was that her video premiered on Feb. 13 — the whole world knows that 13 is Swift's lucky number. "This is probably my favorite video I've ever done," Swift said. "Absolute favorite."
Swift wears a white nightgown in the video as she navigates barefoot through barren, leafless woods. The video's dull, washed out colors reflect the eerie atmosphere and themes of life and death. We see Swift wander from the forest, which burns behind her, to a field. She holds dead baby's breath, sits on a gravestone (she revealed to MTV that it was an actual gravesite from 1853) and generally embraces the sense of loss in 'The Hunger Games.' Swift further embodies the death theme when she lies down on dirt and walks to the edge of a stream. Her feature acts in the song, the Civil Wars, sing in a dark cabin lit only with a fireplace.
Soon, Swift enters a dark house full of broken furniture, chipped paint and a sense of destruction. She finds the film's signature 'Mockingjay' pin and stares out a window.
Swift later walks to the edge of a stream before she's shown sitting on a bed in the abandoned home. She sees a deer disappear into smoke, then walks into the horizon to continue meandering among armageddon.
"I have chills," Swift said at the video's conclusion. "It's so crazy to see it finished. I love the video," she said. "I love what the director did with it."

Ramsay goes on to describe scenarios, such as building a music playlist ("create playlist "country plus katy" from last 11") wherein a simple typed description would me much faster, and in fact much easier (even for a n00b) than all the clicking and dragging and menus that it would require using a GUI. He gives this example:
Ever play Pictionary? Pictionary is a brilliant game. You get a card that describes some concept—say, "return address." You have to communicate that idea to other people, but here's the thing: you can only use your index finger (extended, McLuhan-style, with a pencil). Before long, people are laughing. "That's not an envelope!" "Yes! Look, that's a house, and that's a letter, and that's an arrow!" Much laughter ensues.
In the real world, we'd say, "I'm thinking of a return envelope."
I realize the analogy is a bit strained, but my point is simply this: the idea that language is for power users and pictures and index fingers are for those poor besotted fools who just want toast in the morning is an extremely retrograde idea from which we should strive to emancipate ourselves.
He's absolutely right that sometimes a few words are worth a thousand pictures (to reverse the common aphorism). I think most nerds could probably relate the most easily to the kind of CLI that we're really talking about by thinking of the voice interface on the starship Enterprise. When Captain Picard orders his tea, he just tells the computer what he wants. In Star Trek IV, Scotty tries to talk to the 1980s PC, then realizes that he has to type, then, improbably, actually knows how to type. Even if the computer didn't have to be able to understand our spoken language, what if it could understand what we typed in, and did that?
Unfortunately, speech recognition is probably more advanced than machine interpretation of natural speech, so by the time we can tell a computer to find every document related to your comparative literature class from 1998, it's going to be just as likely to understand us speaking it as typing it. There are some computers that can understand human language pretty well, like the one that beat Ken Jennings in Jeopardy, but it's probably going to be a little while before your iPhone will be able to.
And unfortunately, as long as the CLI means remembering what "ls -l" does, it's not going to have mass appeal. Only by allowing people to describe actions in their own words, and understand them is a command-type interface going to catch on. On the other hand, I'm a big fan of hybrid interfaces. I'm a dedicated Quicksilver fan, so a lot of what I do on a computer involves keystrokes and descriptions. On Windows 7 and iOS, I usually prefer to search for an app rather than poke around through the menus for it.
And Star Trek notwithstanding, I'm pretty sure that speaking to our computers is always going to be a secondary computer interface, reserved for when our hands are occupied, such as while driving, cooking, or working with tools. I doubt the keyboard is going anywhere.

"Our Faithful God"
Nov 11, 2018
Psalm 89:1-52 "But you promised!" As parents, how many times have we heard those words? And let's face it; kids' memories tend to be much sharper than our own when it comes to what we say – especially if it involves something fun in their behalf. They can be deeply disappointed if we forget, change our mind, or just have something come up that keeps us from doing what "we promised" to do. Truth is . . . all children need to know they can trust the adults closest to them to do what they
"How to Be Holy"

2 Peter 1:1-11 Well, this is the final sermon is this series on God's Holiness. And I hope and pray that it's helped you to draw closer to Him. We took a peek into the inner sanctuary of heaven with our friend Isaiah, and were overwhelmed with the utter transcendence and holiness of the Lord. We were reminded that an experience with a holy God brings two human responses: fear and awe. Then we looked at two scenes from the New Testament where this type of response was expressed in the

Description: Paring knives come in handy for all sorts of detail tasks around the kitchen. One of the most used, knives for anything from peeling fruits and vegetables to chopping garlic.
Kasumi knives are forged in Seki Japan, an area with over 800 years of smithing history. The blade is formed by forging folded layers of soft stainless steel (called a Jigane) around a central core formed from VG10 stainless steel. The central core is tempered to 59 - 60 Rc. This results in an exceptionally keen, long-lasting edge.
The blade is forged quite thin so as to have little or no resistance when cutting through food. Following in the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles cannot become lodged between the tang and the handle. Wooden handles are formed from resin impregnated hardwood. These hold up exceptionally well in a demanding kitchen environment.

BEAUFORT - Twenty-seven Beaufort County schools - a record number for the district - have earned 2011-12 Palmetto Gold or Silver awards for student academic achievement, the South Carolina Department of Education announced today.
The district's 27 school recognitions were an improvement over last year's 15 winners and a dramatic increase from three winners in 2006-07. Only six South Carolina school districts had more schools to earn awards this year, and all six have larger student populations and more schools than Beaufort County.
"Breaking our record for state awards is wonderful," said Superintendent Valerie Truesdale. "We are very proud of the way our schools have sustained academic progress over time. With the economic downturn, we had to cut budgets and lost a number of valuable assets such as science and technology coaches. Students continue to grow, however, because our teachers are so focused. For students to continue making academic improvements, year after year, is a glowing testament to their hard work and also to the determination and creativity of our teachers, school and district leaders, staff and community and business partners."
The Palmetto Gold and Palmetto Silver program was created by the South Carolina General Assembly to recognize schools that attain high levels of absolute performance, high rates of growth and substantial progress in closing achievement gaps between groups of students.
The state's Education Oversight Committee establishes criteria for the awards, and the Department of Education applies those criteria to determine which schools are honored.
Five Beaufort County schools earned Gold awards for general performance, while 19 won Silver awards. One district school earned a Gold award for closing achievement gaps, while six won Silver awards for closing achievement gaps. The district's total awards won in both categories increased from 22 last year to 34 this year.
Seven schools were "double winners" recognized for general performance and closing achievement gaps: Bluffton Elementary, Coosa Elementary, Hilton Head Island International Baccalaureate Elementary, Hilton Head Island High, Michael C. Riley Elementary, Okatie Elementary and Red Cedar Elementary.
Four district schools were first-time winners: Bluffton Middle, Lady's Island Middle, Pritchardville Elementary and Riverview Charter.
Schools receive awards for general performance based on both their absolute and growth ratings and the growth index found on state school report cards. These ratings are determined by PASS scores for elementary and middle schools. For high schools, ratings are based on Exit Exam results, graduation rates and percentages of students passing end-of-course tests.
Schools receive closing the achievement gap awards based on academic gains made by students in four categories: African-American students, Hispanic students, students participating in federal free- or reduced-price lunch programs and students with non-speech disabilities.

CASABLANCA – For the eight teams involved in the Africa U-17 Championships, which begins this weekend in Morocco and concludes on 27 April, there is plenty at stake.
Not only will the winner be crowned the African champion, but the four semi-finalists will qualify for the showpiece event of U-17 football: the FIFA U-17 World Cup United Arab Emirates 2013.
The 10th African U-17 championships will be held in the cities of Casablanca and Marrakech, with the 67,000-seater Stade Mohamed V in Casablanca hosting Group A – made up of the hosts, as well as Tunisia, Gabon and Botswana - plus a semi-final.
The somewhat smaller Stade de Marrakech (45,000), hosts Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Congo in Group B, as well as a semi-final, the play-off for third place and the final. FIFA.com looks ahead to the competition.
African giants aim to return to winning ways
Not too long ago, Ghana and Nigeria not only dominated the African U-17 scene, they were also heavyweights on the global scene, winning five titles between them and finishing runners-up a further five times.
The only country to match them was Brazil, whose record of three wins, two second places and a third and fourth place sandwiches the South American side between the Golden Eaglets (three wins and three second places) and Ghana (two wins, two second places and a third and fourth place).
But of late, the two West African rivals have found the going much tougher and neither side managed to qualify for the last two finals of the African championships, though Nigeria entered the 2009 edition as hosts.
Disappointingly for them, the draw in Egypt pitted them not only against each other but with the Congolese and Ivorians, who finished third and fourth respectively at the 2011 championships in Rwanda two years ago.
Black Starlets' coach Paa Kwesi Fabin has called up a squad of 23 home-based players and embarked on a training camp in Italy ahead of traveling to Morocco.
A 6-2 victory against the reserve side of Serie B club Novara, suggests that the side is well prepared to take on the tasks awaiting them.
The Nigerians too, have reason to be optimistic, as the Nigerian Football Federation set up a training camp at Qatar's Aspire academy.
The team played two friendly matches during their time in the country which will be hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup and scored a convincing 7-1 victory against the Aspire U-18 side before beating Al Sadd, for whom former Spanish international Raul Gonzalez plays.
Coach Manu Garba said that the game against the two-time Asian champions was the best he had seen his team play. "We have prepared well for the forthcoming competition. Our goals are clear, we want to qualify for the FIFA U-17 World Cup as African champions and then we will return to Aspire to prepare for the World Cup," he said confidently.
Congo and Côte d'Ivoire were two of Africa's representatives at the last FIFA U-17 World Cup and both managed to escape the group phase.
The Ivorians, for whom Golden Boot winner Souleymane Coulibaly scored an astonishing nine goals in four matches, were knocked out 3-2 by France in the Round of 16, while Congo lost their match at the same stage against eventual runners-up Uruguay 2-1.
North African rivalry resumed
The hosts Morocco, who with Gabon are making their first-ever appearance at the finals of the African U-17 championships, have called up a squad including several players who play for the youth teams of some of the biggest European clubs, such as goalkeeper Anwar Bourmila, who plays for Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund defender Mohamed El Bouazzati and striker Zakaria El Azzouzi, who plays his club football for Ajax Amsterdam. Morocco are expecting their main rivals to be fellow North Africans Tunisia, who have twice qualified for the world stage (1993 and 2007).
