Hello Mariposas...are you still out there?? So sorry it's been FOREVER since I posted anything, it's been a challenging few months!! Today I have a great product to talk with you about, NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils. I'm sure many of you have heard about these, they are versatile and great as an eyeshadow base under pressed eyeshadows, pigments and glitters or worn alone. They retail for about $4.49, they are super creamy and pigmented I use them over an eyeshadow primer but I always use a primer first (my go to primer is Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP)). My suggestion when using these is to BLEND them out with your finger or a brush in order to avoid creasing. My favorite is MILK it can be used to amp up lights, brights and pastels and make an average eyeshadow POP, Black Bean can be used to create an amazing smokey eye!! You can purchase these here: Harmon Discount Ulta Cherry Culture
Below are some descriptions and swatches. Milk is a creamy opaque matte white. Cottage cheese is a shimmery white which would be a great highlight color and inner tear duct. Yogurt is a shimmery champagne, gorgeous!! Pots and Pans is a bright shimmery silver. Hot Pink is an opaque matte well, hot pink :). Black bean is a super saturated glossy matte black.

Emirates Team New Zealand has established a top speed for America's Cup 72-foot catamarans, hitting 44.15 knots, or 50.8 mph, on San Francisco Bay.
The Kiwis set the mark on the first reaching leg as they sailed alone around the course to collect another point in the Louis Vuitton Cup for challengers. The scheduled opponent, Artemis Racing, has yet to race as it works to get its second boat launched following the fatal capsize of its first boat on May 9.
The Kiwis' top speed on Thursday translates to 81.7 kilometers per hour or 74.5 feet per second. The wind speed on the leg peaked at 15.8 knots.
The team's previous best mark was 43.26 knots, or 49.78 mph, set July 9 in slightly stronger winds.
The cats generate their speed thanks to wing-shaped mainsails and hydrofoils that reduce drag.

Okay, it's offical. I am addicted to squash. It started with a question on facebook, "What should I make this week?" Being the beginning of fall, everyone seemed to be in the mood for squash. Acorn squash and pumpkin and butternut squash. So many suggestions, all involving those weird looking vegetables! Or are they fruits? Anyways… I have to break it to you, before last week I had never eaten a squash. I was so concerned about cooking with these wacky ingredients.
I mean come on, acorn squash looks totally strange! It was the first bit of produce that I took on, making acorn squash ravioli. I'm looking over a dozen recipes for squash ravioli and thinking "Nutmeg? Who puts nutmeg in pasta?" Apparently I do, because this ravioli was amazing. Although perhaps it was the browned butter.
Next up was pumpkin. I have never been a pumpkin pie fan. Maybe this is because I've never had a good pumpkin pie? Since I have a problem with pancakes, in that I eat way too many of them, I decided to start there. Do you know if there is such a thing as Pancakeaholics anonymous? I think that I need to join that group. Thankfully the pancakes turned out heavenly, and so did the cookies, and so did the cupcakes (stay tuned!).
My final hurdle was this odd looking butternut squash. I kept putting it off, which was okay, because squash is hearty. It sat on my counter, staring at me, mocking me. Can squashes laugh? Because I think this one was laughing at me too. No more laughing at me squash! I'm going to take a vegetable peeler to you! Ha! Who's laughing now squash? You're naked! Okay, time to make soup.
Butternut Squash Soup
Adapted from Giada at Home
I upped the carrots in the original recipe which gave this soup an amazing color. You can change out some or all of the water for stock. If you want to make this vegetarian then change out the chicken stock for vegetable stock. I served it up with a dallop of sour cream to add some tang and creaminess.
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 carrots, chopped into ½-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½-3 lb butternut squash, peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes
3 cups low-sodium chicken stock
3 cups water
1 tsp kosher salt
¼ cup sage, chopped
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrot and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add squash, chicken stock, water and kosher salt. Bring soup to a boil and maintain boil for about 20 minutes. You want the vegetables to be fork tender.
Remove from the heat and add nutmeg and sage. Puree with a handheld blender (my favorite) or in a blender. Process until thick and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

(a) Examination of jurors.
The court may call for examination an initial venire of prospective jurors of a number equal to the number of jurors necessary for the jury plus the number of peremptory challenges available to the parties. A general examination of prospective jurors is optional with the trial judge, but any examination by the trial judge does not in any manner limit the right of the parties to conduct the examination. If the examination is not conducted by the judge it shall be conducted by the parties. If, after the parties have exercised their challenges, the venire size is larger than the number required under Rule 48, the excess number of jurors will be excused in inverse order in which they were called. The court has the discretion to allow singular examination of prospective jurors in chambers.
(1) Venire. Unless otherwise stipulated by the parties, the court must call for examination an initial venire of prospective jurors equal to the number of jurors necessary for the jury plus the number of peremptory challenges available to the parties. If, after the parties have exercised their challenges, the venire size is larger than required by Rule 48, the excess jurors must be excused in the inverse order in which they were called.
(2) Examination. The court may examine prospective jurors itself and it must permit the parties or their attorneys to make their own examination. The court may allow individual examination of prospective jurors in chambers.
(b)(c) Peremptory Challenges.
(1) Number.
Each side is entitled to four (4) peremptory challenges when a six (6) person jury is to be impaneled and four (4) peremptory challenges when a nine (9) person jury is to be impaneled. If a side consists of more than one party, that side is entitled to a total of four (4) peremptory challenges when a six (6) person jury is to be impaneled and to a total of four (4) peremptory challenges when a nine (9) person jury is to be impaneled.
Regardless of the size of the jury or the number of parties on a side, each side is entitled to four peremptory challenges. If the parties on a side have adverse or antagonistic interests, the court may grant them additional peremptory challenges.
(2) Procedure.
All parties on a side must join in the challenge before it can be made unless the trial judge, for good cause shown court, for good cause, permits otherwise. If parties on a side have essentially adverse or antagonistic interests the trial judge may grant the parties on that side additional peremptory challenges. If no peremptory Peremptory challenges are taken until the panel is full, they must be taken by the parties alternately, commencing with the plaintiff; but a.
(c)(b) Challenges for cause.
If the trial judge, after the examination of any juror, is of the opinion that grounds for challenge for cause are present, the judge should excuse that juror from the trial of the case. If the judge does not excuse the juror, any party may challenge the juror for cause as provided by law.
If the court, after examination of any juror, finds grounds for challenge for cause, the court must excuse that juror. If the court does not excuse a juror for cause, any party may make a challenge for cause.
(d) Alternate Jurors.
(1) In General. The court may direct that one or 2 two jurors in addition to the regular panel be called and impaneled to sit as alternate jurors. Alternate jurors in the order in which they are called shall replace jurors who, prior to the time the jury retires to consider its verdict, become or are found to be unable or disqualified to perform their duties.
(2) Procedure. Alternate jurors shall must be drawn in the same manner, shall have the same qualifications, shall be subject to the same examination and challenges, shall take the same oath, and shall have the same functions, powers, facilities, and privileges as the principal jurors. An alternate juror who does not replace a principal juror shall must be discharged after the jury retires to consider its verdict.
(3) Peremptory Challenges. If one or 2 two alternate jurors are called each side is entitled to one peremptory challenge in addition to those otherwise allowed by this rule. The additional peremptory challenge may be used only against an alternate juror, and the other peremptory challenges allowed by this rule shall may not be used against the alternates.
Rule 47 was amended, effective January 1, 1979; January 1, 1988; September 1, 1990; March 1, 2003;________________________.
Rule 47 was amended, effective _______________, in response to the December 1, 2007, revision of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The language and organization of the rule were changed to make the rule more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules.

In this episode Horo was sooo damn cute, it was nearly criminal. Apparently I had the same feelings as the little apprentice in this picture (I was grabbing my chest and tried to calm down several times).
(...then again, they could show me Horo eating an apple for 20 minutes and I would nevertheless give a perfect score).
I like the details about the character behaviour. For example:
1) When Guy Bartose told Lawrence that besides alchemy also magic was researched in that part of the city, Lawrence refused to walk on since as a merchant he just dont believe in that kind of superstition. So Guy had to cajole Lawrence into following him further to Deannas house by saying that they are all "nice people". XD
2) The absolutely funny chat between Mark and his wife. Quote: "I would bake Amati a cake over your jealous flames".
3) When Lawrence asks drunken Horo where Amati is, she says that she "probably" parted with him downstairs..... just hilarious! ^^
It really gives me the feeling of a very well-thought-out and mature storyline. Totally different to the "He is the only chosen one teenager that can safe the world and satisfy all the girls" anime I have watched way too often in my life. :P

That boring guy
Join Date: May 2009
And yet, he chooses to intervene. Is it for the sake of competition and adrenaline? Or maybe he takes pleasure in showoff of his wealth? Whatever is the reason, his behavior is not of a person who cannot control his emotions.
IMO, Amati is ungrateful to the guild and whoever helped him to start his trade. Unstained reputation, flourishing business, success at such a young age..and he decides to risk it all just because of some whimsical idea to get Horo's attention.
Having an affair with a nun, who is already in some sort of relations with another member of the same guild (which brings a lot more attention to the story), is not going to harm just his social standing. Saying "I'm ...a travelling merchant, Rowen guild" will just cause people to think "ah, those guys who like travelling nuns" before anything else.
As we see near the end of Ep.2, rumors are spreading really fast. Townsfolk in Kumerson found these quite interesting. If they make it to Rubinhagen...some contracts and contacts will be lost

Is Lawrence considering of going into swindling business himself by selling pyrites? Mark ransacked or did demand for nails dwindle ?

I thought the episode was very good. The part when the aprentice walks into the room with Horo under the bed sheets.......priceless!
It was cool to see some more character's introduced like Bartose. Maybe we will finally see a jealous Lawrence! I mean he was running pretty fast there at the end, and I don't think it was to go and buy pyrite. Can't wait for the next episode!

I still have a hard time believing the Pyrite's value could climb so much before anyone pointed out it's a total scam. Lawrence isn't the only decent merchant in town you know. At minimum I was surprised Horo couldn't tell that it wasn't gold seeing as how she was such an expert on metals in the first arc.

Heh.. didn't we just have a world-wide meltdown due in large part to fancy 'legal' Ponzi schemes that severely overvalued assets?
But you're right... gold is actually quite easy to distinguish from pyrite (doesn't weigh the same and visual differences in raw form) so its either a weak point in the story or a bit of Monty Pythonesque "wood=duck=witch" idiocy.

I disagree with you all.

- Lawrence: how can I get in on the action?
- Amati: hey, I can use it to impress Horo with my money!
Why would other "decent merchants" react differently? What would they have to gain by denouncing it as a scam? They'd just look silly.
I'll also point out that gold is a relatively useless yellow rock. It's only valuable because we say so.

Probably the main reason it has been deemed valuable is because its a rare metal. It is also impervious to the elements. Beacause of this, people in ancient times were able to take natural nuggets and pound them together to form metal objects. Gold does not oxidize or corrode, so it's shape will remain a thousand years from now if you do not ware it away.
Another property making it valuable was its mallebility. No matter how much you beat on it gold tends not to crack. Gold can actually be hammered out so thin that light can pass through it. "Gold Foil" is basically gold thats thinner than tin foil and was used to cover idols and temples, thus raising it's status even more.
In the past gold's value was based on work; People worked very hard for gold. It quickly became impractical to carry large piles of it, so governments took much of the gold and gave people money representing a given weight in gold.
There are plenty of new uses for it today...
- Gold transfers electricity with less resistance than any other metal on earth
- Many electronics and computer components use gold wiring for circuitry
- Since it doesn't corrode it's used to plate or make fine electrical contacts
- Due to its reflectiveness it is used in equipment that needs to not oxidize like laser chambers
- Astronauts, pilots and some sunglasses are coated with gold to cut down on the intensity of sun rays
- Many fine fabrics have gold threads due to gold no dulling over time
Of course another reason it is probably cosnidered valuable is that gold looks apealing. Jewelry and sculptures have been fashioned from gold throughout history and today.
Many people find gold to be beautiful and it has very rare properties which makes it so valuable.

Okay, thanks for the explanation. I don't know a whole lot about theology so stuff like this usually leaves me scratching my head.
I left you some rep points for such a good answer
Horo didn't seem to care what the die was made out of. She just thought it was cool. She was impressed that the fortune teller was accurate.

Project Description
The proposed work at the University of Texas aims to develop large eddy simulation (LES) models for simulating high hydrogen content (HHC) gas turbine combustion, with specific focus on premixing and flashback dynamics. The project is divided into three components: (1) LES model development using direct numerical simulation (DNS) and canonical experimental data, (2) targeted experimental studies to produce high quality mixing and flashback dynamics under engine relevant conditions, and (3) validation of LES models using a validation pyramid approach and transfer of models to industry using an open source platform.
Project Benefits
This project will focus on the development of a computer model that can simulate combustion of high hydrogen content (HHC) fuels. Improving large-eddy simulation (LES) models that can predict flashback characteristics for HHC fuels will improve the design process for hydrogen combustors that could potentially produce fewer emissions at higher temperatures. Specifically, this project will develop an LES model validated against direct numerical simulations, conduct targeted experimental studies to produce high quality data under engine relevant conditions to validate the models, and transfer the validated models to industry.

This article provides the information on "Resetting the BIOS to default configuration on a system may not match the BIOS settings configured from the factory".
All Dell system Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) have an option to reset to DEFAULT that resets all BIOS settings to the Dell Default Configuration for that system model.
Some Dell users have noticed that resetting the defaults in the BIOS MAY NOT reset the BIOS configuration to match the settings of the BIOS when the system shipped from Dell.
EXAMPLE: The Default setting for Fast Boot is "Thorough" but it is set to "Minimal" from the factory for faster boot times.
On Dell Branded BIOS (OptiPlex, Latitude, Venue. etc.) either the Load Defaults or the Restore Settings button restores the BIOS defaults.
On Phoenix Branded or American Megatrends Branded BIOS systems pressing the F9 key in the BIOS will load defaults.
Some options in a system BIOS may be changed from the default setting during the manufacturing process for various reasons.
Some of these changes are predicated on optional hardware that is installed in the system, others setting changes might be a result of Dell customer feedback of preferred settings desired by system users.

Shirley R. More, a retired social worker who earlier had been a Baltimore County public school teacher, died Monday from complications of Alzheimer's disease at Bonnie Blink, the Maryland Masonic Home in Hunt Valley, where she had moved this year. She was 90.
The daughter of Walter A. Reed, a bank president, and Agnes Gordon Reed, a homemaker, Shirley Agnes Reed was born and raised in Corning, N.Y., where she graduated from high school in 1940.
After earning a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1944 from Albany State Teachers College — now the State University at Albany — she began teaching math at Oneonta High School in Oneonta, N.Y.
A graduate of the school, Capt. William L. "Bill" More, a decorated Marine who had fought across the Pacific with the 4th Marine Division and survived the battle for Iwo Jima, returned to his old high school after World War II to see former teachers and friends.
"The moment I came in the back door, my English teacher, Mrs. Super, said in a booming voice like I had forgotten my homework, 'William, you are just the person I want to see. I'm chaperoning a dance Saturday night and we have a new math teacher here, Miss Reed, who is going to help me. I want you to go to Homeroom 33 and introduce yourself. She is young and beautiful,'" Mr. More recalled.
"I said, 'Yes, ma'am,' and told her I had never met a math teacher who wasn't hungry for a date, so I went up there and here was this beautiful woman. Mrs. Super was right. I walked her home and asked if she wanted to go out to dinner," said Mr. More. "We did, and after dinner, I informed her that we were going to get married, and we did on June 22, 1946."
The couple moved to Cornell, N.Y., where Mr. More earned his bachelor's degree from Cornell University. They were living in Quebec when Mr. More was recalled to active duty during the Korean War.
They settled in Baltimore in 1955. From 1955 to 1964, Mrs. More taught math part-time in Baltimore County public schools.
They later moved to a home in Deer Park, near Soldiers Delight, in Baltimore County. There she volunteered as a Girl Scout troop leader and helped her husband make Liberty Road Baseball into one of the largest area Little Leagues, with 1,200 players and 86 teams.
In 1964, Mrs. More decided to work as a full-time mathematician and applied for a job doing statistical work at the old Rosewood State Hospital.
"She was told by the hiring psychiatrist that she was a wonderful mathematician but would be happier as a social worker," said her daughter, Cindy Bowie of Hunt Valley. "Taking his advice, she became a social worker for the Baltimore City Department of Social Services."
Mrs. More worked in the foster care division helping parents who provided foster care to children, many of whom had special needs, from 1964 until her retirement in 1982.
"She was always a leader and very dependable," said Susan "Susie" McBride Murphy, a social worker who lives in Anneslie and worked with Mrs. More for years. "She was very thorough, and the clients liked working with her. And she became particularly close to some of them."
"Shirley was very helpful to me," Mrs. Murphy said. "She was always very pleasant and proper. ... She was an awfully nice person who tried to find the good in people."
After retiring, Mrs. More and her husband worked side by side in community and Masonic organizations. Among the largest events she helped bring to fruition was the 4th Marine Division Association, World War II reunion in 2001, when her husband was president of the association. The event brought together more than 1,000 veterans from the 4th Marine Division, and also the 3rd and 5th Marine Divisions, at the Litton Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss.
Mrs. More, an animal lover who was especially fond of her golden retrievers, was an active volunteer with Pets on Wheels.
"Not only did she love her dogs, she had a fondness for nature, feeding the opossums, squirrels and birds," said Mrs. Bowie. "She and my father even were known to have the deer eat from their hands at the back door."
Visitation will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 22, followed by funeral services at the Haight Funeral Home, 6416 Sykesville Road, Sykesville.
In addition to her husband, a retired Exxon marketing representative, and her daughter, Mrs. More is survived by a son, Douglas More of Fort Worth, Texas; and four grandchildren. Another son, Dr. William W. More, died in 1994.

RIVER FOREST, Ill . -- Concordia University Wisconsin and Benedictine University finished in a dead heat for the Northern Athletics Conference men's track & field title today with 135 points each, while Aurora University was a close third with 127 points. CUW senior Alex Pawlak was named Track Athlete of the Year for his record-setting three medal-winning performances.
Pawlak (Colgate, Wis.) won the 110-high hurdles in a NAC record time of 14.73 seconds, the 400-hurdles in a conference record 42.09 seconds and was part of CUW's first place 4x100 team. Senior Justin Rogers (Milwaukee, Wis.), also part of the 4x100 squad, finished second in the triple jump and was also runner-up in the 100-meter with a time of 10.85.
"We had a very good season as a program," said head coach Russ DeLap. "We won the men's indoor and outdoor 2012 NAC championships and our women's team finished second and fourth. There's a lot to be proud of."

Ogando tries to follow up Darvish's near perfecto against Astros
Alexi Ogando returns to the rotation on Wednesday when the Texas Rangers play the rubber match of their season-opening three-game series against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.
Ogando won 13 games as a starter in 2011 and was named to the American League All-Star team. However, manager Ron Washington moved him back to the bullpen last season and he was 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA.
The 29-year-old right-hander has normally gotten off to a quick start, as he is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his career in April, his lowest ERA for any month.
"I think he has a feel for what it is to start," Texas skipper Ron Washington said. "He knows the preparation and dedication it takes. He's experienced the grind and understands what he needs to do to maintain himself."
Ogando will be trying to match Yu Darvish's near perfect performance from Tuesday. Darvish didn't allow a baserunner through 8 2/3 innings in Texas' 7-0 win.
The Japanese hurler seemed unstoppable and was one out away from perfection when Marwin Gonzalez hit a ground ball between his legs and into center field for a single. Darvish was then replaced by Michael Kirkman, and despite not getting to finish the game, recorded an impressive 14 strikeouts.
"I think my teammates were more disappointed than I was," Darvish said through a translator.
Ian Kinsler hit a two-run home run for the Rangers, who recorded 12 hits. Lance Berkman had two RBI while Nelson Cruz, Elvis Andrus and Mitch Moreland knocked in a run apiece in the victory, Texas' first of the season.
Berkman is 5-for-8 through the first two games of this series and the former Astro now has a 14-game hitting streak at Minute Maid Park, during which he is hitting .491 with six homers and 22 RBI.
Gonzalez and Jose Altuve were the only two to record hits for the Astros, who saw starter Lucas Harrell (0-1) allow one run on six hits over six innings.
Going for Houston on Wednesday will be righty Philip Humber, who bounced back and forth between the bullpen and rotation last season for the Chicago White Sox, going 5-5 with a 6.44 ERA in 26 games (16 starts).
However, Humber, who pitched collegiately for Rice University, became the 21st hurler to toss a perfect game after retiring all 27 Seattle Mariners hitters in a 4-0 victory at Safeco Field on Apr. 21.
Texas has dominated the Astros over the past four years, winning 20 of the 26 matchups.

- Fiberglass
- Length:
- 40'
- Engine/Fuel Type:
- /
The perfect balance between a cruiser and a racer, both racing around the cans and during offshore racing. The winner that takes it all but at the same time a comfortable and easily handled yacht, with quality built into every single detail.
The Arcona 410 is a further development that started with Arcona 400 and which has been continuously refined. Hull, deck and inner liner are produced with an infusion method, which guaranties optimal weight, strength and quality. High stability is attained with a composite keel (steel fin with lead bulb), which has been optimized in cooperation with Chalmers University of Technology to maximize lift and minimize drag. Moulds for hull, deck, keel and rudder are all CNC milled to achieve optimal and precise profiles. The sail-plan has a non-overlapping headsail and, in relative terms, a slightly larger mainsail than previous models; this combination will ease handling and keep the costs down.
This is a modern and easily managed 40 foot winner with the classic Arcona promise: exceptional sailing combined with great comfort. It is a light and stable yacht, ideal for the family as well as a racing crew. A fast sailer in all winds. Designed and built by an experienced team who puts effort into every detail.

The Hagstrom Viking was manufactured from 1964 - a two pickup guitar very much in the style of a Gibson ES335 or Guild Starfire, however structurally quite different.

This is a very collectible and one of the coolest semi-acoustic guitars you'll find, not to mention this is really well-priced for a vintage instrument!

TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- An Australian who allegedly hanged himself in an Israeli jail was heavily interrogated about his work as a spy just before his death, an official said.
Australian broadcaster ABC reported this week that it had evidence that Israel's infamous Prisoner X, jailed in 2010, was an Australian national named Ben Zygier, who also used the name Ben Alon. He was found hanged in a high-security prison cell near Tel Aviv in December 2010, the report said.
The reason for Zygier's arrest and detention wasn't reported.
Zygier's former attorney, Avigdor Feldman, said his client had faced heavy interrogation when he was told he faced a long prison sentence and ostracism from his family.
There was no heartstring they did not pull and I suppose that ultimately brought about the tragic end," Feldman said.
Zygier worked for Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, which is facing exposure of its operatives' identities after Zygier's case was revealed, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
"Of course this will be damaging," said former Mossad agent and security agent Gad Shimron.

Bridgetown: Wily off-spinner Sunil Narine has been labelled as a "fast learner" and a "match-winner" and is expected to be one of the West Indies` trump cards on the Bangladesh tour this month.
Narine`s entry to Test cricket against England earlier this year was a tame one but head coach Ottis Gibson said since then, the 24-year-old Trinidadian had improved tremendously to adapt to the more stringent demands of Test cricket, reports CMC.
"He`s a very fast learner. When he played his first Test match, it was on the back of very limited first class cricket. He made his name in one-day and T20 cricket," Gibson told a media conference here.
"Bowling in one-day and T20 cricket is very different to bowling in Test match cricket and he had to learn how to bowl in this format, how to try and get wickets.
"England, obviously, was an alien environment for him. He wasn`t at his most comfortable. When we came back to the Caribbean we saw the real Narine.
"Wickets in Bangladesh will suit him, they will be some assistance there for him. When the ball is spinning he`s at his best and you saw in the series against New Zealand he started to go around the wicket which again against shows (he`s) learning."
Narine made an unflattering debut in the game`s longest version, going wicket-less in the rain-ravaged third Test in Birmingham back in June.
The right-armer returned to the Caribbean and instantly reaped success against New Zealand, picking up 12 wickets in two Tests and another 13 in the five-match one-day series.
Gibson said he expected Narine`s improvement to continue, especially in Tests.
"We expect him to be a handful for us. He`s a match winner, certainly in the shorter format so far and we believe he will be a match winner in the longer format as well," Gibson noted.
The Windies will play two Tests, five One-Day Internationals and a single Twenty20 against Bangladesh, from Nov 8 to Dec 10.

The Black Culture Organization at Davidson County Community College reflected on the famous "I Have a Dream" speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday.
The Black Culture Organization at Davidson County Community College reflected on the famous "I Have a Dream" speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday during a birthday celebration on the national observance holiday.
Nearly 80 individuals of all ages attended the second annual event in the Conference Center that featured a speaker, presentations, entertainment and activity stations.
"We're very excited to have you here," said Dawn Tafari, DCCC faculty member and co-advisor of the club. "I promise this will be exciting, educational and informational but fun."
Emmanuel Baptist Church's youth pastor, Andrew Watkins, was the speaker who used a food seasoning to discuss with the crowd what impact salt has on everyone's lives.
He said the ingredient has three different aspects — flavoring, preserving and melting ice. He said salt is used for different things to add flavor to food. He said the choices or decisions everyone makes play a role in preserving their legacy. Watkins also said salt is used to melt ice. An example he gave was when King melted the cold hearts of individuals because of his love, passion and relationship with Christ.
"It's a perfect opportunity to preserve our legacy every day," Watkins said. "(With) everybody you talk to … make sure you're having an impact. Martin Luther King had a powerful legacy that's going to last forever."
The club started the event last year to highlight the life and teachings of King through messages, presentations and educational activities. A reenactment of King's speech took place as well as a performance by Suah African Dance Theater of Greensboro.
The club is also in its second year of existence and has 25 members that have an interest in black culture. John Canty, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, serves as the other co-advisor of the club.
DCCC students Dominique Lindsay, president of the club, and Quamaine Love, vice president, said the program turned out well. Love enjoyed having the opportunity to share historic facts because a lot of young people are not aware of all of the information.
They also noted the program gave people a chance to learn about other cultures. At the end, stations were set up by the Student Government Association, men's basketball players, international students and the Suah African Dance Theater of Greensboro.
"All cultures were able to come together as one like King's dream," Love said.
Lindsay followed with, "Everything went great."
Kim Sepich, vice president of student affairs at DCCC, connected the college's 50th anniversary this year with King's "I Have a Dream" speech 50 years ago.
"The founders of the college had a dream, and they made it happen," she said. "As we celebrate the life and leadership of King, I challenge you to reflect on your dreams. What will be your contribution to this world? Can we act upon our dreams? I believe we can."

Imagine for a moment the stepping stones of an academic career: a passion or deep interest, graduate school, a teaching appointment, pre-tenure, research, grant-writing, tenure, mentoring new faculty, administrative work, full-professor, emeritus status.
Or follow another path when a professional brings skills and experience to the mix valued by a variety of disciplines and also important to the learning process of the students, perhaps full-time or maybe as an adjunct or part-time faculty member.
The vocation journey of the teacher/scholar is challenging yet filled with opportunities. Manresa for Faculty supports faculty members on the various steps of their careers in a Catholic, Jesuit University. Manresa (Man-ree-suh) is a town in Spain where St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, spent a year in prayer and discernment about the future direction of his own vocation path.
Manresa for Faculty accomplishes these goals through seminars, workshops, panel discussions, and faculty learning communities.

I hope your year is going fabulously so far, and that you've had lots of delicious pork cutlet bowls (or whatever your dish of choice may be)! I've got an update for you all regarding the current status of the Masquerade!
Waitlisted entries for the Masquerade are NOT pulled into the contest on a first come, first serve basis. We attempt to fill spots with an eye towards divisional balance. For instance, currently the craftsmanship only section of the Masquerade is very heavily weighted towards Novice entries (there are far more novices than journeymen or masters). This means that the Novice category will be far harder to win an award in! If we have people drop out, we will be attempting to pull in journeyman or masters applicants from the waitlist first in order to try to make the contest more balanced and fair for everyone.
If you have any questions or concerns about the contest this year, please feel free to ask here or email us!

South Carolina officials hope restricting what people can buy with food stamps will cut down on obesity.
Department of Social Services director Lillian Koller said Thursday she wants permission from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to require food stamp recipients to use the federally funded benefits for healthy food. Now, Koller says alcohol and tobacco are the only prohibited items in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Koller says has asked the USDA to discuss making the changes. Koller says meetings will be held around the state next month to solicit public opinion on what restrictions should be enacted.
Department of Health and Environmental Control director Catherine Templeton says she supports restricting SNAP benefits to the same list her agency uses for a benefit program for women and children

Prototype polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Europe, 1980-1989
The nickname of this machine is 'Baby Blue'. The Baby Blue prototype was devised in 1986 to replicate DNA from a tiny sample. Samples would be used to study HIV and genetics. The double helix structure was separated by heating each strand. A mating strand was then created with the help of a special enzyme which can stand high temperatures, forming new double helixes. This process was repeated 25-35 times. This is the first model which combines the software controlling the process with the heating and cooling block in one machine.

Step by Step Makeover: A Walk-in Closet from Drab to Fab
I rebuilt this closet a couple of years ago with Elfa shelving, hardwood floors, new trim and better lighting. Last month I finally got inspired (and motivated!) to finish this project and make it into the cozy and very girly dressing room I had always imagined.
Looking at the second photo above, you can see the exterior of the closet (the door on the right) so you know what I was working from. I chose Waterfall blue for the base coat in the closet for two reasons — one is that this hue of blue (it's a soft turquoise) looks lovely with the pink and cream colors of my bedroom, and two, I don't have any blue elsewhere in my apartment. Last year I had tried to wallpaper this closet and failed miserably, so this year I ordered a stencil. I chose gold shimmer paint to echo the gold frames that are hung throughout my bedroom.
Stenciling is a bit cumbersome because you have to wait for the paint to dry a few minutes before you move it to paint again, or else you will smudge your work as you go. This small closet took about 12 hours to stencil. Corners are definitely tricky in small spaces, but since it's a closet I wasn't overly concerned about being perfect. I knew I would be putting lots of distracting things over the painted walls.
Once the painting was finished, I reinstalled the shelving, lowering the racks for better access. I ordered a custom sized wall mirror ($100) from a local glass company and mounted it to the wall in the corner. I then added my new DIY jewelry organization pieces to the left of the mirror and installed six additional hooks around the closet to hold scarves, belts and purses.
I have long arranged my clothing by color, so I added it back in the same way. All of my shoes fit nicely on the floor under the hanging blouses, and I added a few baskets overhead to hold hats and small purses that don't hang.
My closet finally feels like a proper woman's dressing room! The color and the stenciling do not make the space feel small, and in fact make the space feel like a very special, hidden nook.
After finishing this project, I realized that I have always had a thing for decorating my closets. Going back to 5th grade, it was the place I hung all of my Tiffany and Madonna posters. My 8th grade closet was a floor to ceiling collage of magazine ads, and in my first apartment, I hung postcards, posters, and framed prints!

We�re writing about the ever-changing development plans for the Guilford County Prison Farm. This beautiful tract of land near the border with Alamance County is apparently burning a hole in the pockets of area officials, who can see only dollar signs on its rolling acres.
Historically, the prison farm has saved the county money by growing food for other prisons. It has provided a source of landscape plants, vegetable seedlings and other products beneficial to local citizens. It maintains and passes on culturally and economically important agricultural practices and traditions. And it provides effective rehabilitation for non-violent offenders� surely a wise investment and a social good.
The latest proposal, a 2,500-acre technology park, might make money for developers, but would be disastrous for area residents. The park would require the purchase of large tracts of adjoining land in two counties and would cost tens of millions of dollars for infrastructure including roads, sewer, and water. The city of Burlington would have to supply the water � if possible. Development would generate traffic, congestion, pollution and noise, and would utterly destroy the rural character of the area.
Leave the prison farm alone. There is little enough green space left in the Piedmont.

Law enforcement officers commonly work extended hours in ever-changing environments that can cause great mental and physical stress.
Enduring fatigue for a long period of time may lead to chronic fatigue syndrome, a health problem characterized by extreme fatigue that does not improve with bed rest and continues to worsen with physical and mental activity.
Fatigue can:
Cycle of Fatigue
Fatigue arises primarily from inadequate sleep — both the quantity and quality of sleep. See Law Enforcement Officer and Sleep Disorders.
Officers get inadequate sleep when they experience a break in their
circadian rhythms, the sleep/wake cycle all living organisms require to maintain good health.
Circadian rhythms impact a person's biochemical, physiological and behavioral processes. External cues such as daylight or noise help modulate a person's circadian rhythms, generating a series of internal responses that cause sleeping and waking. Changes in external cues can effect a person's mental and physical disposition — one common example is the experience of jet lag.
Continual breaks in circadian rhythm can cause serious mental and physical fatigue. This fatigue diminishes people's mental and physical health, and impairs their ability to deal with stressful situations. For police officers, this gives way to a cycle of fatigue that decreases their ability to perform their job effectively.

Ethnic Foods Equal Healthy Foods
With good reason, many ethnic foods are associated with health-imparting benefits.
Two decades ago, few Americans were familiar with hummus; now it's at many Super Bowl parties. Sabra has introduced singles for individual snacking.
While the term "ethnic flavors" has long since ceased to bring merely Mexican, Italian and Chinese foods to mind, this mushrooming category has begun to encompass much more than the tastes of other exotic cultures. Processors are finding that consumers are not just demanding Thai, Middle Eastern and Brazilian items — they're demanding healthy Thai, Middle Eastern, Brazilian, etc.
"Consumers are looking for healthy and flavorful foods and are truly eager to expand their culinary horizons," says, Nicole Hofmann, brand manager at Sabra Dipping Co., Queens, N.Y. "We just conducted a national Taste Intervention promotion and sought out people who felt they were in a 'food rut.' The entries poured in, with thousands of people indicating a desire to bring more authentic, interesting and great-tasting foods into their lives."
But Hoffman notes convenience is now an important factor in creating and marketing ethnic cuisine. "We provide variety in terms of flavors and also in terms of packaging, so that people can serve their favorite hummus to friends and family, add it to their recipes or enjoy it as a snack at home or on the go."
Annie Chun's, a San Rafael, Calif.-based Pan-Asian food marketer with emphasis on Korean (and one of our R&D Teams of the Year), provides Americans with authentic Asian flavors geared toward the newly sophisticated American palate that also demands health. The focus at Annie Chun's is to present healthy choices to meet a variety of dietary needs. For example, the company offers vegetarian, gluten-free and organic options.
Most recently, Annie Chun's launched Brown Rice Noodles. "This new addition fits into the modern lifestyle in which consumers with limited time for creative cooking, still desire healthy and all-around good food," says Diana Wang, director of marketing for Annie Chun's. The company's goal, she says, is simplicity of ingredients yet authentic flavorings.
"Adding flavor into your everyday meals doesn't have to entail additional work and a long list of ingredients," she continues. "Instead, you can improve your menu with simple mealtime solutions and snacks that bring Asian flavors into a busy American day." Flavors such as roasted sesame oil, ginger and scallions carry the Asian message without being overly exotic. Also, twists on basics, such as the company's new Brown Rice Noodle dishes, are made with 100-percent whole grains and available in Pad Thai and Maifun styles.
Variety is the spice of ...
Serving this demand for more interesting ethnic foods requires processors and ingredient suppliers to be a combination of world travelers, ethnobotanists and crystal ball gazers.
"Consumers today are increasingly interested in a wider variety of flavor profiles and are sampling different ethnic cuisines," says Gitti Crowley, vice president of Tribe Mediterranean Foods Inc., Taunton, Mass. "But we also consistently hear from people who are looking for easy meal and snack solutions to fit into their busy, active lifestyles. And, they also are looking for foods that are healthy and delicious, with on-the-go choices to provide positive nutrition without sacrificing taste."
The company meets all three by manufacturing a line of all-natural hummus made from a few simple ingredients and without artificial flavors or preservatives. Flavors include Tribe Origins Spicy Red Pepper, Tribe Classic Calamata, and Tribe Classic Roasted Eggplant. The company also has a special "Forty Spices" flavor to appeal to the more extreme ethnic seekers and notes the flavor has become one of its best sellers.
As enticing as the flavors of ethnic foods is the passion brought to their creation, from ingredients to final production. "In the early 1990s, we noticed the emergence of three megatrends in the American grocery industry: health and wellness foods, convenience foods and specialty foods," says Meera Vasudevan, executive vice president of Stamford, Conn.-based Preferred Brands International. The company hit on all three trends when it introduced Tasty Bite ready-to-eat foods in the Indian and Asian categories, including entrées, flavored rices, spiced legumes and cooking sauces.
Vasudevan says an increasing number of Americans were traveling internationally in the 1990s, while newer immigrants were settling in America and bringing their cuisine influences with them. This meant more international-style restaurants opened, educating consumers on trendy new cuisines.
Riding the coattails of the natural foods trend, these ethnic items were perceived as more healthful. This was true, in a way, because of the heavy use of non-animal protein sources such as soy, lentils and beans, as well as whole grains, spices and multiple vegetable varieties within single recipes.
"It made sense for us to leverage these three megatrends and launch a concept like Tasty Bite," says Vasudevan. "Our brand sits in the 'sweet spot' in the middle of all three. It is all-natural, the food needs only to be heated in a microwave for 90 seconds and served."
Another contributor to the perception of health in ethnic foods is their use of spices that have long histories of nutraceutical properties in other cultures.
