Megeve is one of world's iconic ski destinations. Created by a Baroness of the famous Rothschild family a century ago as a French answer to St Moritz, it has always been synonymous with the best of everything. Unlike most well-known French ski areas, Megeve was not built from scratch in the post-war era but was founded upon an original village that dates back to the 13th century and, with its cobbled streets surrounded by enticing restaurants and boutiques, oozes Gallic ambience. A Mecca for foodies, it is also home to the only three-Michelin starred chef in the Alps. To add further to Megeve's appeal, the surrounding slopes, located within the Mont Blanc massif – and extending to 445km thanks to connections to neighbouring ski areas – are some of the most scenically attractive in the skiing world.

The Mountain:
Megeve's local ski slopes are divided into three main areas and in addition you can buy regional lift passes which include more skiing at neighbouring resorts if you wish. Added together the length of runs in this 'Evasion Mont Blanc' lift pass area total nearly 450km – one of the world's biggest areas and plenty to keep you entertained for a week, or even a season.
This vast amount of terrain means that there's something for all standards of skier, but regular recreational skiers will particularly enjoy the huge amount of easy, cruising, blue and red pistes which in many cases are attractively located on tree-lined slopes and offer magnificent views as you descend.
The closest ski slopes to the resort centre are on Rochebrune, linked by a gondola from the heart of the village or by a separate cable car from the outskirts. The second, larger ski area is on Mont D'Arbois which is connected to Rochebrune by a 'horizontal' cable car (but without a piste connection) or can be reached direct from the resort, although the base of the Princess gondola is 3km from the resort and reached by ski bus. You can ski down from Mont D'Arbois to neighbouring resorts St Gervais and St Nicolas de Veroce over the far side of the ski area.
The third area, Le Jaillet, is located on the other side of town and was previously not connected to the other two areas, but from 2012-13 the resort has introduced a horse-drawn caleche (a kind of long sleigh for which Megeve is famous) to take skiers from the ice rink in the centre of town to Jaillet instead of having to take the bus.
A criticism often made about Megeve in the era of high-altitude French ski centres is that the slopes (1,100-2,353m) are low by modern standards, however locals claim this often works in their favour, as runs are open here when high-altitude lifts in the neighbouring Chamonix Valley are closed. The highest skiing is at Cote 2000 (Rochebrune sector) and Mont Joly (Mont d'Arbois sector).
Megeve is particularly popular with the Parisienne crowd, and the slopes are very quiet mid-week except in the main French holiday periods. It also does not fit the mass market tourism sector so you are unlikely to find big crowds of Brits either.
Because Megeve is not known as an off-piste resort one can usually find some good off-piste several days after a snowfall. But even so, the obvious places will get skied out quite quickly and as with powder days anywhere in the world, it's important to be first on the slopes when the snow falls in abundance, and the quickest way to reach the best spots is usually to get the first bus in the morning.
The main areas for enjoying fresh powder are from the two highest points of the ski area at Mont Joly and Cote 2000. There are many bowls and runs through the trees opening out into fields and glades but you need to ski with someone who knows the area.
Beneath Mont Joly the whole mountain below the ski lift is left unpisted and offers some of its steepest and challenging terrain around Megeve.
It's also possible to ski over the back from the top of the Mont Joly lift and off the map but this is avalanche territory so it is potentially a matter of (your) life-or-death that you seek help from a professional guide if you wish to attempt that.
There are long term plans to link Mont Joly to Les Contamines which will open up a lot of off-piste.
Cote 2000 has a large off-piste area with the best terrain off to the right of the ski lift but you have to cross the ladies downhill piste and this is often cordoned off for race training.
Jaillet/Giettaz also has some great off-piste and once again a guide is the best idea to take you to it and also ensure you coordinate your descent with bus services which you will need to connect to at the bottom, as the best runs don't connect back to the lifts.
If you wish to make more of your location than the nearby slopes, mountain guides office (+33 (0)45 50 21 55 11; guides-megeve.com) will be happy to take you on guided half-day or full-day tours to nearby areas including Chamonix (where the Vallee Blanche is an option), the grand massif, the Aravis and Courmayeur. They even offer heli-skiing into Switzerland and as far as the Atlas Mountains in North Africa.
A major difference between Megève's ski area and that of most other well-known French ski areas is that much of the terrain is below the treeline, resulting in hundreds of kilometres of easy-to-moderate cruising on trails cut through the forest. Of course, with the ski area being so large, there's open terrain above treeline too, especially on Mont Joly and at Cote 2000, home to most of the resort's steeper red and black pistes, but overall it's very family-friendly fayre.
Runs are up to 3.8km long and popular descents include the red down from L'Epaule to St Nicolas de Veroce which offers particularly splendid views of Mont Blanc and the fast Princesse gondola accesses some great terrain directly above the resort.
Although the local skiing is within the three separate sectors, each area is large enough to provide at least a day's entertainment, and the lift/sleigh links between them mean you can travel from one to another quite quickly if you wish to. If you purchase the Evasion Mont Blanc pass you can also take the ski bus to neighbouring ski areas including Les Contamines.
Most of the beginner slopes are down by the village in the classic style so as long as snow cover is good they're very convenient. A low-price beginner's lift pass is available and there are free easy-to-ride magic carpet lifts for beginners' use at Rochebriune, Princesse and Jaillet.
Children aged 3-5 have several snow gardens operated by Club Piou-Piou, a division of the local French Ski School (+33 (0)4 50 21 00 97; megeve-ski.com) and located by the Chamois gondola (accessed from the village centre) and at the bottom of the Mont d'Arbois cable car. Each is equipped with fun runs and magic carpet lifts and the Club offers full or part day care (reservations essential).
Megeve's old school image and reputation for generally mellow terrain mean that it is not at the forefront of most people's minds when asked to recommend a freestyle Mecca, so it may come as a surprise that the resort is home to three terrain parks at the last count, with several more separate terrain features at other locations too.
The four are located in separate sectors and are not, perhaps, world class, but each has its charm and a good selection of hits. Most have snowmaking so terrain features can be created if Mother Nature doesn't play ball.
Closest to the village is the Waidzai Park on Rochebrun accessed by the Grand Champs chairlift. This is best suited to the less adventurous with small-to-medium jumps, whoops and a pyramid as well as a big air bag and a 500m snowcross course.
The park is equipped with three automatic video cameras; you can download footage of yourself in the park at the end of the day by keying in your ski pass number and if you wish put it up on Facebook.
A second park at the foot of the Mont Joux lift on Mont D'Arbois has some more challenging jumps with a good selection of rails to ride and another cross course.
Other parks and features are on Jaillet where there's snowcross track and at Giettaz (links to Jaillet) which has what some consider the best snowpark of the four with a wide range of jumps and rails as well as another snowcross course.
Megeve was home to one of the great names in the history of downhill skiing, Emile Allais, who died six months after reaching his centenary, in autumn 2012.
The influence of the great man has travelled around the world, but although he is now gone, you will find plenty of memories of him in the village, and these are worth seeking out.
Allais was born in Megeve in 1912 the son of the village baker, just a few years before the transformation of the little village into a world-class ski area by Noémie de Rothschild, the wife of Baron Maurice de Rothschild, and 21 years before the first ski lift was installed. So Allais grew up during those crucial years of development and developed into a great skier, taking four gold medals and four silver medals in the early World Championships of 1935, '37 and '38 and a bronze in the 1936 Winter Olympics at Garmisch-Partenkirchen where he shook hands with Hitler, not knowing who he was at the time, but didn't join in the Nazi salute.
However Allais' influence was just beginning, he founded the École du Ski Français (ESF), now the largest ski school in the world; he created the Rossignol Allais 60, the first metal-edged skis which gave French victory in the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley. At various times he coached the Canadian and US teams and helped in the creation of ski resorts including Courchevel and the Chilean resort of Portillo. Famous names he taught to ski included Cary Grant and Brigitte Bardot. The list of achievements goes on.
But back when he was first winning medals, Allais had also been a tailor, working in his uncle's shop, where he helped his uncle create special trousers for skiing, an idea that had not dawned on anyone else at that point. His 'fuseau' was the height of ski fashion for the next 50 years. You can still shop where Emile worked all those years ago in the central Place de l'Eglise (AAllard, 148 place de l'Eglise; +33 (0)4.50.21.03.85. aallard.com), now run by his children and grandchildren.
You can of course also ski the Allais piste above the village and now you'll know where the name comes from when you see it on other pistes around the French Alps.
Le Comptoir du Père Sotieu Rue du Général Muffat St Amour (+33 (0)4 50 21 67 51) is the place to start your day off with a drink of this cosy tea shop's signature "Chocolat de Megeve" and fresh croissants.
Aux délices de Megeve, 290 route du Palais des Sports (+33 (0)4 50 21 30 48) is a wonderful tea room serving food that's both fresh and fashionable, with both healthy and indulgent options on the menu.
Les Mandarines, Mont d'Arbois (+33 (0)4 50 21 31 27). Beautifully located chalet dating back to 1934, located 1800m up and mentioned in the Gault Millau gourmet guide. Mandarines has a lovely atmosphere and excellent mountain food, served by a cheering open fire. A lovely man takes your skis upon arrival and looks after them until it's time to leave.
Chalet Du Radaz, Rochebrune (+33 (0)4 50 58 94 44) is accessed directly from the Cote 2000 ski slopes and serves what's popularly regarded as the best tartiflette on the mountain, as part of a range of Savoyard specialities.
Les Enfants Terribles, Place de l'Eglise (+33 (0)4 50 21 20 02). Located next to Hotel Mont Blanc in the village centre. Its name is taken from the famous Jean Cocteau novel and film of the 1950s in a nod to the fact that, at that time, Cocteau remarked that Megeve was a suburb of Paris, such was its popularity then, as now, with residents of the French capital. Cocteau was a regular visitor to the Hotel Mont Blanc. Les Enfants Terribles specialises in taking French Savoyard cooking to new levels and is regarded by locals as very expensive, with main courses typically €28-48. Steak au poivre is the signature dish and it is worth visiting for the stylish 1950s retro décor, again themed on Cocteau films.
Flocons De Sel, 1775 Route du Leutaz (+33 (0)4 50 21 49 99) has made waves not just in the ski world but across the global culinary scene with the achievements of chef Emmanuel Renaut, the only gastronomic genius in the Alps to be awarded 3 Michelin stars. Expect unique gourmet cuisine to a world-class standard, and indeed at a price reflecting that, so that the fact you need to take a taxi ride out of town to the Hotel Megeve is only a small part of your spend.
Le Vieux Megeve. 58 pl. de la Résistance (+33 (0)4 50 21 16 44). Approaching its 50th birthday (established in 1965) a Megeve institution serving traditional Savoyard food, well presented and always busy – so best to book ahead. Main course dishes are typically €22-28.
Flocons Villages, 75 rue Saint-François, (+33 (0)4 50 78 35 01). At the other end of the price scale from Flocons de Sel, Flocons Villages offers the same excellent food in a mountain bistro style and with touches from the great chef, Emmanuel Renaut, but very reasonably priced by comparison with a three course meal coming in around €24.
Club de Jazz Les Cinq Rues, 19 passage des Cinq Rues, (+33 (0)4 50 91 90 69) is a Megeve institution that has won accolades including "the Ronnie Scott's of the Haute Savoy." Located in the resort's atmospheric back streets, it is one of Europe's oldest surviving jazz clubs, dating back some 65 years and has seen superstars including Memphis Slim and Stéphane Grappelli take to the stage. You'll be very lucky if such A-listers are in town of course, but there's still live jazz and normally a great atmosphere every night.
Casino Megève, 199 rue Charles Feige (+33 (0)4 50 93 01 83). Although Megeve is famed for its wealthy clientele, and the casino is indeed a magnet for high rollers, you can in fact enjoy an evening in the casino – which is open until 3am nightly – without spending a fortune if you can stick to the 1 cent slot machines, among the 68 to choose from and not be tempted up to the €5 version or indeed the roulette, blackjack or poker tables. Besides the gambling there's a good restaurant (this is Megève after all!), the Equipe by the Purple Lounge where there are dinner concerts or other free entertainment every evening. You can also dance the night away in the Palo Alto disco.

1966 - Alabama goes perfect in '66 but the polls elect Notre Dame No. 1 despite the Irish's decision to refrain from appearing in bowls.

January 1, 1979 - For a game that forever became known for the goal line stand, Alabama beats Penn State 14-7 to clinch the national championship for the 1978 season. After the game, Bryant says, "There is only one team that could have stopped Penn State on the goal line and that team is Alabama."

December 15, 1982 - Paul Bryant officially announces his retirement from the University of Alabama. Including the bowl win over Illinois, Bryant finishes with a record of 232-46-9 for his 25 years at the Capstone.
December 29, 1982 - Coaching in his final game, Paul Bryant and his Crimson Tide beat Illinois 21-15 at the Liberty Bowl played in Memphis, Tenn.

This morning Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney spoke to the NAACP – not a group traditionally friendly to GOP pols – and made school choice a focus of his address. It was a politically smart message to deliver (though, importantly, federal vouchers outside of DC would be unconstitutional). School choice is very popular with African-Americans, who are often saddled with the worst public schools. Indeed, according to a 2011 Education Next poll, 50 percent or more of African-Americans either "completely" or "somewhat" favor vouchers for students to attend private schools, versus just 23 percent or fewer who oppose the idea. (The results depend a bit on question wording). When presented with tax credits for individual and corporate donations for private school scholarships, "somewhat" or "complete" support hits 57 percent.
It's a not-so-well-kept secret that the strongest opposition to school choice comes not from the people it would most directly benefit, but the wealthier "soccer mom" demographic that doesn't seem to realize that though they may like their public schools, not everyone can afford to choose a school by buying a house. Of course that's an incredibly inefficient way for anyone to choose a school, but it goes from an efficiency afterthought to a life-altering problem when you can't get your child into a place that is safe and able to maximize his or her potential.
Many Americans don't grasp that. Most African-Americans do.

People Story - Kelsey Fletcher
The secret to recruiting awesome university students
By Naomi Thalenberg,
SAP iXp Brand Manager
Kelsey Fletcher has seen it all. In her two years recruiting university students for internship roles at Concur and SAP's global Internship Experience Project (SAP iXp), she's combed through thousands of resumes and interviewed hundreds of internship candidates.
She's now changing roles from University Recruiter to Concur HR Business Partner of Global Services, focusing on the candidate experience and ensuring Concur employees are well taken care of.
We sat down with Kelsey to see what she's learned in her two years of recruiting for a global and competitive internship program. Whether you're a student seeking a new role or a novice recruiter looking for tips of the trade, Kelsey has insight for everyone.
Students seek a role where they feel they have a seat at the table and can make a difference through the projects work on. I always tell students that our hiring managers are looking for people who can challenge them and question the status quo. We want interns to raise their hands and ask the big questions.
Many students say "I want to make a difference and help people, or improve something." Honestly, in my two years recruiting for this internship program, we've assured that each student fills this inherent desire through the projects they work on.
Our goal is to eliminate this fear that they won't be making an impact by placing them on a great team with a project that's focused on developing real solutions for real problems.

Didnt read thru everyones posts. I put 5 strips in my GPH2 case. I bake them every time i open it. I live in NY, water and air temps are very different, especially in the summer. If mine fogs I hold it under water for a little while and sometimes it will clear it up.
I found out that holding it under water works cause it fogged one time. I put it back in my pocket to catch some more waves, and swim some more. Once I was going toward shore again I took it out and it was all clear. So Ive been trying it. I also added those 4 more strips and that has helped like crazy.
Just make sure those are dry cause if they are holding moisture then your dead in the water before you start.
I found even opening my case to upload causes humidity to catch on to those strips rendering them useless.
Bottomline if you know epic winds are coming......cook your strips, charge your camera fully (double check), and close it up until you are home and ready to upload. Then repeat. only thing more terrible then having a fogged up camera on a 30 footer of your buddy, is going 5 for 6 on a parley ahahhahahahaha

I think this is a good story because it shows you how to make a paper crane. The illustrations are great because they help to explain the story. My favorite part is when the homeless man came into the restaurant for food with his paper crane.
I recommend this book to people that like Origami and fiction stories. This book would be good for an art teacher or someone who liked art. Kids can also read it to learn a lesson as well.

POSTING PHOTO's IN LIT RULES:
This from the Site Admin, copied from Am pics thread as Laurel has modified them and updated the rules.
NOTE: Admin has appended these. 6/29/2015
The gist is this: please do not upload to our servers (as an attachment or user icon/profile image) any photographic images that
1) contain genital closeups or explicit sex; or
2) do not belong to you.
To clarify: no, you cannot upload photos of your erect penis or wet pudenda, and you cannot upload photos that you found on the Internet.
You can post links to images found elsewhere on the Internet. HOWEVER, we reserve the right to warn or ban you if we feel you are
1) spamming/advertising for another site/product/etc. or
2) you repeatedly post linked images which stretch the screen.
We also will remove links to images upon request from copyright holder. If, after we do so, you replace the image, we may ban your account.
The Literotica forum offers three different ways that you as a user can display your own images. Because of the massive size and high activity of the Literotica forum, none of these methods are pre-moderated. However, we will remove any images which are brought to our attention that violate our rules or any U.S. laws. The three methods of posting an image on the Lit forum are as follows:
1) Attachments. These are user-owned (that is, created by you and to which you own the copyright) images which are uploaded to our server by users.
2) Remote linking. These are images which are hosted on your server and displayed in your posts.
3) Avatars/Profile Pics. These are your images which you can upload to display on your profile page and next to each post you make.
The Literotica Forum Photo Guidelines have been created to conform to United States law in regards to content and copyright laws.
Here are the Forum Photo Guidelines for all attachments, avatars, and any image uploaded to our servers (Numbers 1 and 3 above):
Legally, we can allow soft nudity, but photographs (does not apply to non-photographic images) posted on this site may not contain "sexually explicit conduct", which the government defines as:
- Actual or simulated:
(A) sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex;
(B) bestiality;
(C) masturbation;
(D) sadistic or masochistic abuse; or
(E) lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person. We're talking about the close-ups, or any pictures where the genitals or pubic area is the center of attention, or part of any simulated masturbation. Artistic full nudes are fine, so long as they aren't spread shots and the person can't be masturbating or simulating masturbation
ALL images (uploads and links, Numbers 1, 2, and 3 above) must follow these rules:
- All persons in all adult-themed photographs must be over 18 years of age.
- Image must not contain URL or other advertisement.
- Image must not contain bestiality or extreme sexual violence.
Please note that these rules apply only to photographic images.
Non-photographic images (drawings, paintings, 3D renderings, etc.) may not contain bestiality, underage sexual content, or extreme sexual violence.
If you see any images which violate these guidelines, please report the post and we will review your report. Anyone caught repeatedly violating these guidelines may have their image posting privileges revoked.
Literotica may remove any image for any reason without notice, and may periodically purge old images from the forums.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact a moderator.
Thank you for your time, and enjoy the site.

THL Toolbox > Tibetan Texts > Cataloging a Tibetan Text
Cataloging a Tibetan Text
Contributor(s): THL Staff.
One of the important aspects of THL markup technology is the ability to catalog Tibetan texts in a deep way that collects information concerning several important aspects of the text. Creating an XML catalog of a Tibetan collection of texts such as Collected Works (gsung 'bum) or a canonical collection such as the Collected Tantras of the Ancients (rnying ma rgyud 'bum) has been made easier by the use of a three-step process in which the catalog entries are originally made in a Microsoft Word using a specific form available from THL, converted into XML through a special Word macro written in Visual Basic, and then creating a catalog document linking to the individual records. All the files are then posted to the web and display using XSLT stylesheets. This document briefly describes this process, and it assumes that one is cataloging a multi-volume collection of individual texts.

Waiting to Be Heard
A MemoirAudiobook CD - 2013
In November 2007, Amanda Knox was twenty years old and had been studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, for only a few weeks when her friend and roommate Meredith Kercher was brutally murdered. Young, nave, and grieving, and with only basic knowledge of the Italian language, she was arrested and subjected to harsh interrogations during which she struggled to communicate with the police. In 2009, after a trial that made headlines around the world, she was wrongly convicted of murder. But in October 2011, after Amanda spent four years in an Italian prison, the conviction was overturned.
Now, in Waiting to Be Heard, Amanda Knox shares for the very first time the truth about her terrifying ordeal. Drawing from her journals and letters, she gives an unflinching account of what it was like to be imprisoned in a foreign country for a crime she did not commit, and about the impact it had on her family and loved ones as they traveled back and forth to be at her side. With grace and gratitude, Amanda describes the aftermath of the trial and her return home to the States, where she is able once again to look forward to the future.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on Monday he thinks that 10,000 U.S. troops should remain in Afghanistan after 2014, when President Barack Obama wants to withdraw most combat troops.
McConnell has just finished a visit to Afghanistan with a small group of his fellow Republican senators, his seventh trip there in the past decade.
"I think we're going to need a minimum of about 10,000 troops here to provide adequate training and counterterrorism in the post-2014 period. And we anticipate there'll be forces from other countries who will remain here beyond 2014 as well," McConnell told reporters on a conference call during a stop in Italy after leaving Afghanistan.
McConnell said he met with military officials including General John Allen, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, during his trip and that the officials felt the Afghans would be able to handle their own security after 2014 if there was a "residual" force that could be involved in training and counterterrorism.
"This is the first time I've come back from Afghanistan with a feeling of genuine optimism," McConnell said.
Obama and visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai agreed on Friday to speed up the handover of combat operations in Afghanistan to Afghan forces, raising the prospect of an accelerated U.S. withdrawal from the country and underscoring Obama's determination to wind down a long, unpopular war.
The Obama administration has been considering a residual force of between 3,000 and 9,000 troops - far fewer than some U.S. commanders propose. Republicans had cautioned the administration against allowing anything other than conditions on the ground and security concerns to dictate the pace of the U.S. withdrawal.
On Monday, McConnell repeated what he said was strong praise for the Afghan forces from military officials he had met with.
"There's a widely held view that the Afghan National Army is definitely coming up to speed, that these are tough fighters who'll be able to deal with the Taliban or any other internal threats in the future and also rising optimism that the Afghan local police will be an effective force as well," he said.

On that note, how much was the engagement ring, if you don't mind my asking? Because I was looking in the Sears catalogue a while ago, and I chose out a 500$ ring that I thought would be nice. I made a comment about my expensive taste, and my mother laughed at me... apparently they usually cost a lot more than that?
El, you will make some guy very happy in the future.
I never even looked at rings. Couldn't care less.
My hunny picked one out on his own, still not really sure what it really cost, over $1000.00 ??
But a $500 ring would have made me just as happy.
Hell, the ring doesn't make the relationship.

EA to the Middle East: No Dante's Inferno for you!
Dante's Inferno has been a brazen controversy magnet over the course what could only be described as its promotional rollercoaster ride – and not for lack of trying, either. That, however, hasn't stopped EA from exercising uncharacteristic levels of caution where the Middle East is concerned.

Follow Wisconsin Supper Club Cookbook events online and order books directly from the author for a personalized gift!! Price: $25, plus tax. Shipping included for the continental U.S.
It's also fine to snail mail a check to:
Midwest Features Syndicate
P.O. Box 259623
Madison, WI 53725
Pair the book with filmmaker Holly De Ruyter's award-winning supper club documentary! More about the DVD is here.
I am a hard-working freelancer whose writing and photography have appeared in oodles of regional and national publications. Lots of websites too.
For starters, that means the Chicago Tribune and USAToday.com, TravelWisconsin.com and TravelAge West, Group Tour Media and Global Traveler, DK EyeWitness and Rand McNally guides, the Kenosha News, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Experience Wisconsin and The Restaurateur.
I'm proud of all of it and glad to bore you with additional details – just give me a nudge.
Midwest travel, especially lesser-known and rural destinations, is my specialty. So is a curiosity about food, especially quirks in regional cuisines. Add sustainability in travel, as in taking it easy on the Earth.
Wisconsin Supper Club Cookbook is my fifth book and pairs nicely with (hint, hint) the Old Fashioned: The Story of the Wisconsin Supper Club DVD by filmmaker Holly De Ruyter. We team up for presentations that are fundraisers for nonprofits, special supper club meals, culinary history discussions – you name it.
My Eat Smart in Germany book is the 12th in a series of culinary travel guides published by Ginkgo Press. It topped the travel guide category in the 2014 Next Generation Indie Book Awards and earned an honorable mention in Foreword Reviews' IndieFab Awards.
My previous three books were Itchy Cat Press titles (I wish Caroline and Frank a happy retirement!):

a Green Guide for Travelers
* Hungry for Wisconsin:

Studies by the Offshore Wind Cost Reduction Task Force, set up by the UK government, and the Crown Estate both conclude that the costs of offshore wind energy could be driven down by almost 30% by 2020, making it competitive with established forms of energy generation.
The UK is targeting 18GW of offshore wind energy by 2020, and the cut in costs envisaged in the two reports from the current £140/MWh to £100/MWh would save over £3 billion annually.
The task force report sets out 28 separate actions required by industry and government to achieve the cuts.
These cover areas including supply chain, planning and consenting, finance and grid infrastructure.
A programme board is to be established to improve collaboration between industry and government.
Andrew Jamieson, chair of the task force and policy director at ScottishPower Renewables, said: "To ensure that the UK's world-leading offshore wind sector expands rapidly over this decade and fulfils its massive potential, it is vital that costs are reduced.
"In doing this not only will we reduce risk and drive investment into the sector, we will further protect consumers from increasing energy costs, reduce the industry's requirement for financial support and deliver jobs and energy security for decades to come."

Kim Reynolds becomes Iowa's first female governor
Governor Terry Branstad has stepped down and Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds has become the 43rd governor of Iowa, the first woman to hold the position.
This transition of power happened because Branstad was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the new U.S. Ambassasdor to China. The vote Monday afternoon was 82 to 13.
It is an extraordinary opportunity for Branstad, who was selected in part because of his longstanding friendship with Chinese president Xi Jinping.
U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Steven Colloton swore in Branstad as ambassador after signing a resignation letter. Following the brief ceremony, a round of applause broke out in the rotunda.
A packed audience of lawmakers and members of the public filled the Iowa Capitol rotunda to watch as Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds is sworn in as Iowa governor.
Rows of people were seated before a large stage Wednesday morning as music blared from nearby speakers. Individuals also circled around an upper floor to view the historic event from the railings.
Reynolds becomes Iowa's first female governor in state history. Her predecessor, Gov. Terry Branstad, was reserved a front row seat alongside Speaker of the House Linda Upmeyer, Senate Majority Leader Bill Dix and Reynolds' parents, Charles and Audrey Strawn.
In her first speech at the helm of state government, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds highlighted four goals.
She told an audience Wednesday at the Iowa Capitol she wants to reform the state tax code and encourage innovation in energy production, especially wind power and renewable fuels. She wants to stress science, technology, engineering and math education in K-12 schools and expand workforce training for adults.
Reynolds spoke to hundreds of people in the Capitol rotunda after being sworn in as Iowa's 43rd governor. She is the first woman to hold the job.
Reynolds addressed her historic role and called it both "humbling and exciting." But the 57-year-old Reynolds said she hopes people remember her for more than that, promising to make the state a better place to live and work.
View full text of the address here.
Many Iowans may not know too much about Reynolds. She has been Governor Branstad's lieutenant governor, working alongside him since 2011.
She is also a former state senator. She's known as a strong advocate for STEM, she's also had a hand in many economic development initiatives around the state of Iowa.
She is from St. Charles originally. She now calls Osceola home.
She has three daughters and eight grandchildren.
Reynolds will be sworn in as the 43rd governor of Iowa at a ceremony in the Capitol rotunda. She will be sworn in by Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Cady.

Former Buffalo Bill Ruben Brown was charged with drunken driving in Hamburg, after he was involved in an a rear-end collision late Friday.
Hamburg police responded to the two-vehicle crash at 11:19 p.m. on Abbott Road, near Richmond Avenue.
Brown, 40, of Orchard Park, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, following too closely and imprudent speed, police said.
Brown - who played with the Bills from 1995 to 2003 - was not injured and refused a Breathalyzer test, police said.
The driver of the other vehicle suffered minor injuries. There were no passengers in either vehicle.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 30 Florida State men's tennis team (17-7) closes out the regular season this weekend at the Scott Speicher Tennis Courts. On Friday the Seminoles host the No. 1 team in the country, Virginia (19-0, 8-0), at 3:00 p.m. On Sunday at noon, the team will honor three seniors as they play No. 52 Virginia Tech (12-8, 4-4). In the event of rain on Friday, the match will be played at the Indoor Tennis Facility by the Seminole Golf Course.
"Our seniors have been here for a long time and have achieved lots of success," said head coach Dwayne Hultquist. "Jordan (Kelly-Houston) certainly was a big part of winning both singles and doubles in our best road win in school history this year against Oklahoma. Having both Andres (Bucaro) and Anderson (Reed) in the top ten of career doubles wins shows how strong they are. We want to get a win on their last home match."
Sophomore Dominic Cotrone bumped up 30 spots this week in singles and is ranked No. 95 in the nation. In doubles play, he and junior Blake Davis are ranked No. 42 while senior Andres Bucaro and sophomore Benjamin Lock are No. 58.
Virginia has three players ranked in the top 25 with Jarmere Jenkins at No. 1 and Alex Domijan ranked No. 2. Mac Styslinger is No. 23 with Mitchell Frank at no. 36. Ryan Shane is No. 58 while Harrison Richmond sits at No. 76. In doubles, the Cavaliers also have three pairs in the top 25. Jenkins and Styslinger are No. 1 while Richmond and Domijan are No. 20. Domijan is also ranked with Frank at No. 21. Shane and Julen Uriguen are No. 75.
"I think anytime you play the number one team in the country, it's a great opportunity," said head coach Dwayne Hultquist. "It's going to be an exciting match for us. They've had a great year and to be undefeated this late in the season is a great accomplishment."
For Virginia Tech Amerigo Contini is ranked No. 52 while Andreas Bjerrehus is No. 98. The Hokies only have one doubles pair ranked with Contini and Bjerrehus sitting at No. 22.
"Virginia Tech is an important match with us splitting matches with them last year," continued Hultquist. "They have good players with a couple ranked. Both matches were very tight, hard matches last year."

From a US or UK standpoint, Christmas holidays involve snow and ice skating, woollen hats and mittens, hot chocolate, eggnog or mulled wine and lots of decorations featuring Santa and a sleigh pulled by reindeer.
In New Zealand and Australia, however, the Christmas holidays are part of the summer holiday that begins late December and ends at the beginning of February.
In New Zealand, Christmas has traditionally involved the same focus on family coming together for a big meal and emulating the Northern Hemisphere with a roast and even watching the Queen's speech.
Much of the summer holiday meal-preparation involves inviting friends over for a barbecue, but on Christmas day, New Zealanders sometimes make an effort to cook a roast dinner inside and have Christmas pudding as well.

The Mediterranean monk seal is one of the world's rarest mammals.
The Mediterranean monk seal was one of 14 mammals listed as "in need of emergency action if they are to be saved from extinction" by the International Union for the Protection of Nature (as the IUCN was then called) at its first technical conference in 1949.
One of the difficulties in addressing the conservation of the Mediterranean monk seal is its situation involving so many countries that have mutual political, economic and other social problems.
Many countries have introduced laws protecting the Mediterranean monk seal in the last 30 years. Thus, in theory the protection of the monk seal has been much improved. But, implementation of these laws usually leaves much to be desired. In reality therefore, little has changed.

Stonehenge is surely Britain's greatest national icon, symbolizing mystery, power and endurance. Its original purpose is unclear to us, but some have speculated that it was a temple made for the worship of ancient earth deities. It has been called an astronomical observatory for marking significant events on the prehistoric calendar. Others claim that it was a sacred site for the burial of high-ranking citizens from the societies of long ago.
While we can't say with any degree of certainty what it was for, we can say that it wasn't constructed for any casual purpose. Only something very important to the ancients would have been worth the effort and investment that it took to construct Stonehenge.
Stonehenge is a megalithic monument on the Salisbury Plain in Southern England, composed mainly of thirty upright stones (sarsens, each over ten feet tall and weighing 26 tons), aligned in a circle, with thirty lintels (6 tons each) perched horizontally atop the sarsens in a continuous circle. There is also an inner circle composed of similar stones, also constructed in post-and-lintel fashion.

Tai ji quan [chin.: tàijíquán 太极拳] has become very popular in the last twenty years or so. Along with Yoga, tai ji is one of the fastest growing fitness and health maintenance activities in thw world. Tai Ji Quan, or Tai Chi Chuan is an internal Chinese martial art often practiced with the aim of promoting health and longevity. It is actually an effective martial art. Initially, Tai Ji was practiced as a fighting form, emphasizing strength, balance, flexibility, and speed.
Through time it has evolved into a soft, slow, and gentle form of exercise which can be practiced by people of all ages. Tai Ji Quan is considered a soft style martial art [chin.: nèi jīa 內家] — an art applied with internal power — to distinguish its theory and application from that of the hard martial art styles.

Do you have a past life in which you were persecuted? Were you killed by another person or group of persons? Were you poor because others were rich? Were you abused, raped, or maimed in some violent action from others? Do you have a history of suffering that runs through all or several of your past life recalls? My guess is that you will find lots of suffering as part of your psychic memory bank.
Suffering is a prevailing theme in all of lives. Our religions and mythologies reflect suffering to us as a consistent image. The first Noble Truth of Buddhism blatantly tells us that life is suffering. Christianity provides us with Jesus on the cross as a reminder of the suffering of human existence. The intention of our religions means well.
We are instructed to see suffering first so that we may rise above suffering into some greater level of existence called Heaven or Enlightenment. Ultimately, we are meant to live only in JOY and HAPPINESS here on earth in this lifetime.

Demand for IT contractors in the second quarter of 2012 saw a three percent increase, according to data from IT specialist recruitment site CWJobs.co.uk.
However, the quarterly data showed that demand for permanent staff declined for the first time since the second quarter of 2009 - falling one percent.
CWJobs.co.uk says the demand for contractors is "likely" to have been affected by the Olympics, with some organisations bringing in extra staff to cope with increased IT demand.
It said 90 percent of contract vacancies are located in the south of England, in close proximity to the London 2012 Games, although most IT contractor jobs are usually in the south when there are no games happening anyway.
Richard Nott, website director CWJobs, said: "The role IT specialists will play in delivering the games this summer should not go unnoticed.
"A significant number will have been recruited just to work on the opening ceremony, for example, and that's before you take into consideration those extra hands needed for traffic management systems and broadcasting images and videos of the athletes in action."
The contract market has seen an increase in roles almost across the board, with only the retail sector seeing slight stagnation. Media sector recruitment of contractors has seen the greatest increase at 4.6 percent, which may or not be linked to games coverage. Software house recruitment was up by 3.1 percent, finance by 2.5 percent, manufacturing by 3.4 percent and public sector by 2.3 percent.
The contract skills showing as being in greatest demand are .Net, with vacancies up by 3.3 percent, followed by C# up by 3.1 percent. Elsewhere contractors with Agile, Java and SQL server have seen an increase of 3.2 percent, 3.1 percent and 3.1 percent respectively.
The data is based on jobs advertised on the UK's leading IT and multi-sector recruitment websites, together with jobs advertised in IT business magazines, as well as national and selected regional press.
The latest monthly Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG Report on Jobs shows overall job vacancies continued to increase during July, but the latest improvement was the smallest increase for six months, although the IT sector was ahead of most other sectors.

If you follow CRAFT, as well, you may have seen Rachel's post back in January about Oregon jeweler Shannon Conrad's interlocking Lego rings. Shown above is the result of Shannon's very first experiment with casting from Lego elements, a one-off solid silver Imperial Stormtrooper minifig she made for her 11-year-old son. It weighs 1.5 oz (44g). I know Lego fanboys who happily would trade their own teeth for one of those.
Interlocking Rings – Set of 2. Sandcast and soldered sterling silver with brushed black patina.
2 x 2 Building Block Cufflinks. Sandcast and soldered sterling silver with brushed black patina.
2 x 2 Building Block Ring. Sandcast and soldered sterling silver with brushed black patina.
Shannon Conrad, aka rubygirl, lives and works in Portland, Oregon:
Protecting the environment is an issue that is very important to me. To that end, I am careful about the choices I make in sourcing materials as well as the processes used to make my jewelry line. All of the sheet and wire used in my work is made up of 100% recycled silver. Additionally, I have chosen non-toxic, environmentally friendly alternatives for use in the studio – citric acid pickle, bio-degradable flux and lead-free enamels. Little things make a big difference!
If you're in the area, you can find her work for sale at local stores Presents of Mind, fuschia, and REDUX. Shannon has published a brief phototutorial for those curious about her sandcasting process.

Scientists Appear One Step Closer to Reading Minds
Neuroscientists at the University of Glasgow say they have found a way to identify the type of information contained within certain brainwaves related to vision.
"It's a bit like unlocking a scrambled television channel. Before, we could detect the signal but couldn't watch the content; now we can," study author Philippe Schyns, director of the Institute of Neurosciences and Psychology and the Center for Cognitive Neuroimaging, said in a university news release.
The scientists were able to use electroencephalography (EEG) to measure patterns of electrical activity — frequency, amplitude and phase — in the brain while it was engaged in different activities. Specifically, they used EEG to decode brainwaves and identify the parts of the brain that were active when looking at different features on people's faces.
The six volunteers involved in the study were shown images of human faces displaying different emotions — including happiness, fear and surprise — and were asked to label which emotion the image represented. In some cases, images were partially covered so that only certain features, such as the eyes or mouth, were visible.
Schyns and colleagues found that "beta" waves, which have a cycle of 12Hz, were related to information about the eyes, while "theta" waves at 4Hz carried information about the mouth.
The study also revealed that information could be primarily encoded based on timing of the brainwave (phase), rather than its amplitude (strength).
"How the brain encodes the visual information that enables us to recognize faces and scenes has long been a mystery. While we are able to detect EEG activity in certain areas of the brain when particular tasks are performed, we've not known what information is being carried in those brainwaves," Schyns explained in the news release.
"What we have done is to find a way of decoding brainwaves to identify the messages within," he stated.
Schyns added that the study's findings could have a potentially profound impact on the development of brain-computer interfaces.

A whole new group for your garden. Coral Bells, or the Heuchera are a group of small evergreen perennials commonly found as native plants in North American woodlands, and they've been ignored until recently. During the 1990s, some enterprising nurserymen in the southeast realized the Coral Bells were diamonds in the rough, and went to work. Their efforts have created a mini-sensation in the world of perennials, as more and more gardeners discover these great plants.
Some of the natives are alpines from our mountaintops, others are dwellers in lowland forests. But all have several wonderful things in common.
They have beautiful foliage, with large leaves in several colors that remind many of grape leaves, and the foliage lasts through the winter. With hybridization, some of the foliage colors have become truly spectacular, with rich shades and fascinating bi-colors.
Now there are new Heuchera hybrids almost every year, and the group gains popularity all the time. They take full sun or partial shade. And while most of these are grown for their handsome foliage, many also have lovely flowers, some spectacular. Best of all, the plants bloom for weeks and weeks. The flowers rise from a clump of leaves on elegant, thin stems which are lined with the small bell-like blooms.

|Head Coach
|Previous College:
Mike Coven , the 2012 and 2015 UAA and New England Division III coach of the year, is the only coach currently on the Brandeis staff to have won a national championship. In 1976, his Brandeis team won the NCAA Division III championship and he has guided nine of his teams to the NCAAs, including a second place finish in 1984 and a third place finish in 1981.
In 2015, he became the 11th man in NCAA history and sixth in Division III history to win 500 career games, appearing in Sports Illustrated's Faces In The Crowd. He went on to guide the Judges to a fourth-straight berth in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, as the squad earned the right to host first- and second-round games. The 2014 squad reached the Elite Eight, when the Judges set program records for consecutive wins, fewest goals allowed and most shutouts.
Coven's teams have won four ECAC Division III New England titles, in 1994, 2006 and back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011. They have also reached the title game three other times. In his 44 years, Coven's teams have received 29 post-season bids.
Coven has served as president of the New England College Soccer Coaches Association and the New England Intercollegiate Soccer League. He is a graduate of American International College. Prior to Brandeis, Coven coached at Newton South High School, winning Massachusetts Coach of the Year four times. He was also an assistant on the 1980 United States soccer team the won the silver medal at the Maccabiah game.

I had a friend from high school "friend me" on Facebook years ago. He's a preacher now and even though I'm an atheist I kept him as a friend as I had no problems with him until he started outright attacking atheist. This shouldn't come as a surprise but his most recent post became an attack on me as I know I am his only atheist friend. I unfriended him after this post. Even though I knew he was wrong and I could refute his claims, I just got tired of his hate. I attached his post below, what do you think I should have done:
Views: 938
Home schooling? No. Not everyone who home schools is a theist, though I would gather most are. I am only basing my statement off of my own observations, so in general it my statement might be weak.
I have lived in both culturally diverse and non-diverse areas of the US, and prefer the diverse. You go to Kansas, you're most likely going to find towns that are 99% Christian - thus the culture is regulated by the church. You go to Washington DC, or even my smaller city, Frederick, MD, and you will find a more diverse cultural make up. No one religious institution holds the market of ideas. On the weekends you can find atheists either in book stores or at the bar, but none gather together like the religious do.
As for version of Bible I Use? I use multiple translations on my computer for quick reference using a program called e-Sword and I can download for a small fee more versions if and when I need to as well.
I also own hard copies for study NIV, NRSV ESV, and the HOT and GNT. It's part of my history being a seminary student and pastor. I always cross reference translations to see if there is any potential for discrepancy in meaning and interpretation, and then use the HOT (Hebrew Old Testament) or GNT (Greek New Testament) if there is because they are the original source texts.
My preferred translation is NIV.
There is this particular movement of believers, they're called Quiverfull Christians. They like to have lots and lots of children to fill their quivers with. They all homeschool and take those passages seriously. They're nice people.
I've lived all my life with different cultures. A few years ago I moved away to a mostly - kind of white suburb - and I swear, I got - Non-Culture Shock.
There were No Chinese, No Indian, No Italians, No Greeks No Color, Nothing, After 10 months, I left. I couldnt bare it.
I collect religious odds and ends.. I have some beautiful bibles.
The Greek New Testiment huh? - I want one.
I think it is because I try to find the good in all. Even the dimmest light has light. I wanted to show them that they too can be "good without god"and possibly if they will allow, much much better off.
Avoid those who are vexations to the spirit.
I can't tell YOU what to do Randy, but pussycat that everyone here knows me to be, I still would have stayed and refuted --
I think you did the right thing - he doesn't seem the least bit interested in actually having a productive dialogue with you. I recently deactivated my Facebook account over a typographical error and the Pope. I would have been hard pressed to say nothing in response to what was put on your page, but I am beginning to see that it not worth getting as upset as I do over some idiots on Facebook.
I did have a nice discussion at work today, during lunch, that was pleasant and productive. My Christian co-worker is finally trained to just accept me as I am. She knows attempts to convert me are futile.
Fantastic things, typos.
I once made a tiny, silly juxtaposition typo as I was helping a bloke get a downloaded program going. I typed, "Now its time to unzip your flies" rather than "files". Everything went pear-shaped at that point. The funny part was that I didn't see the typo to start with, and I had no idea what had suddenly made him so lecherous.
Good one! I tried to say, "Poke me with a fork." but I said, "Pope me with a fork." Eventually someone said something very rude about the Pope. My mother was thoroughly disgusted.
Think I'll unzip and let the Pope out. Uh Oh, I typed out loud, didn't I?
See? See what happens? It's disturbing, I tell you.

Classic Green Bean CasseroleI don't know what it is about Green Bean Casserole, but I am the first one to say I love it, and I expect it at holiday meals. Gooey, creamy southern béchamel (that's Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup for those of y'all with a more sophisticated palate) mixed in with one of our favorite southern veggies - green beans - and accented by crunchy French fried onions. Oh yeah. Comfort food for sure and likely to invoke all kinds of memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas past. Maybe that's why we love our classic Green Bean Casserole so much in The South.
And listen y'all. If you want to make a homemade cream sauce, then by all means, go for it... I love it that way too! But folks, I'd like to ask that you please stop trash talkin' the classic if you don't mind. There are an awful lot of us still endeared to the original, and besides... remember mama's advice that if you don't have something nice to say, well.. if you're a proper southerner, you know the rest. For those with more adventurous appetites, I've added in some nice variations at the bottom of the recipe too.
Let's make it!
If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!
Recipe: Classic Green Bean Casserole©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 35 minYield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 2 slices of bacon, optional
- 1/4 cup of finely minced onion, optional
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup of whole milk
- 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 4 cups of cooked green beans
- 1-1/3 cups (more or less) of French fried onions (like French's), divided
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray; set aside. Saute the bacon and onion in a skillet just until onion is tender and bacon fat rendered, about 5 minutes. Pour off excess bacon drippings, reserving for another use.
Stir in the soup, milk, soy sauce, and pepper until well blended. Add the green beans and 1/4 of the French fried onions; turn out into the casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle top of casserole with remaining fried onions, using more or less as desired. and return to the oven for about 5 minutes longer, or until onions are lightly browned.
Double for a 9 x 13 inch dish.
Cook's Notes: Use 1 large bag (16 to 20 ounces) of frozen French style green beans or 2 smaller packages, precooked; 1-1/2 pounds of fresh green beans, precooked; or substitute 2 cans of green beans, drained, uncooked.
For Broccoli Casserole, substitute 4 cups cooked broccoli florets for the green beans.
For Cheese Lovers, stir in 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese or other mild cheese with the soup. Omit the soy sauce. Sprinkle with an additional 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese when adding the remaining onions. Can also use Parmesan, or other stronger cheeses, but reduce to 1/4 cup mixed in and 2 tablespoons on top.
Cheesy Ranch Green Bean Casserole: Increase bacon to 4 slices, and add 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Stir into the soup mixture along with a packet of dry ranch dressing and seasoning mix. Finish as above.
To add a festive touch, stir in 1/4 cup chopped pimento or red pepper with the soup.
To add extra crunch, add 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds to the onion topping.

Hollywood couple Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde helped raise $100,000 for a cancer charity at a special comedy event in Kansas City, Mo., over the weekend.
Sudeikis was the headlining act at the Giggle With Gilda bash, which raises funds for cancer support group Gilda's Club, an organization named after late "Saturday Night Live" legend Gilda Radner, who lost her battle with cancer in 1989.
Sudeikis, who is a regular on SNL, performed with comedy troupe The Second City, and surprised the audience by bringing his actress fiancée on to the stage for a series of skits.
The event generated $100,000 through donations and ticket sales.
