David Mitnick's Winning Chulent Recipe
From Joy of Kosher – winning chulent recipe. One 18 Quart roaster oven (crock-pot) full of this chulent can feed approx 50 people gathered for a lunch simcha! (65 people if they ate a lot at Kiddush) Helpful hint – extend the life of your roaster oven by setting up a Shabbos clock to shut off the oven after the chulent has been removed so its thermostat doesn't get too much use when nothing is in the oven.
- Prep Time : 10 min
- Ready Time : 10 min
- 6 lb Potatoes, cubed
- 2 large Onions, chopped
- 3 bags Barley
- 2 bags cholent beans
- 5 lb Cheek Meat (holds up well and doesn't dry out)
- 1 1/2 cups Sweet and Sour Duck Sauce
- 1/4 Cup Osem Beef Soup Mix
- 4 tablespoons salt
- 4 Tablespoons Garlic Pepper Blend (McCormick spice mix, or substitute similar spices)
- Spray Roaster insert liberally with cooking spray.
- In the bottom of the pan, place a layer of 1/2 of the cubed potatoes and onions.
- Spread the beans and barley next.
- Add the duck-sauce and then the meat.
- Season the meat (once inside the pot) with the salt, pepper and beef soup mix.
- Add the remaining potatoes and onions.
- Fill to cover with water.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat.
- You want it to be just barely simmering as Shabbos comes in so that it doesn't overcook.

Duck sauce! Are you kidding? What an idea. And, in the article you mention cinnamon as if THAT would be strange. My family's recipe uses the aforementioned cinnamon and brown sugar. No garlic, no soup mix. Listen, if you put in flanken with big, beautiful soup bones, the chulent makes its own broth. Also, 4 tablespoons of salt + soup mix is sort of overkill. I know our taste buds can adjust to anything but by 2011 we know that some things are not so good for us.
Two more items: apple sauce and matzoh meal kugel. Does this family eat the chulent with apple sauce (and horseradish) as we do or do they skip that lightening touch? My maternal grandmother would make a matzoh meal kugel for the top. Anyone else do that?
Also- cheek meat "… refers to the facial cheek muscle of a cow. It's a very tough and lean cut of meat and is most often used for braising or slow cooking to produce a tender result."
Could u please help divide this up to a more reasonable 10-12 portions for the average size family crock pot.

Sundance Film Festival is becoming a destination for upstart media companies. Orhan Cam / Shutterstock.com
The UpTake: The Sundance Film Festival is about more than movies. Upstarts like Aereo CEO Chet Kanojia traveled to the annual Utah event this week to showcase their disruptive plans for mass media.
If you want to get an idea of which upstarts are shaking up the entertainment industry, I suggest tuning into the ongoing coverage of this week's Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
Tim Wu, a professor at Columbia Law School and the man who brought you the term "net neutrality," has a nice roundup in the New Yorker of the entrepreneurs at Sundance working to upend the media behemoths.
One we mentioned earlier last week: actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt whose crowdsourced television show HitRecord on TV just debuted. You're probably aware of what Netflix has done for binge-watching with House of Cards and Orange is the New Black. A few that might not be on your radar: Seed&Spark, which runs crowdfunding campaigns for independent films as well as help with distribution, PivotShare, which gives creators tools to rent or sell their videos online, and NoBudge, a website which curates indie films.
Aereo CEO Chet Kanojia also made an appearance at Sundance. Kanojia's streaming television company doesn't make Wu's list, but it's definitely one of the biggest entertainment disruptors out there in our book. Not content with his battle against traditional broadcasters—a date with the U.S. Supreme Court is in the near future—Kanojia told The Street that he wants to make Aereo an alternative destination to Netflix for indie films.
"We've started with a technology that lets consumers get broadcast TV, but ultimately as we open that platform to new creators and new business models, it could be a pretty attractive aggregation point," Kanojia said "We think creators need a new platform."
Of course, many of the biggest, most powerful companies in the U.S. are mass media companies, meaning it won't be a cakewalk for these companies.

Everyone remember back in 2010 when some of the cast from The Thing headed to the New York Comic-Con and showed a trailer that wasn't released? Well, my good friend Darren managed to send me over a pretty decent version of the trailer and I've made several screen-caps off the trailer. I have to say though that this trailer definitely should've been the one that got released to promote the film. It was just the right amount of tension without giving anything away.
Be sure to head over to the gallery to see all the caps.
Actress Claire Bronson, who co-stars with Mary in the upcoming film A.C.O.D. (Adult Children of Divorce) has posted this great new photo of Mary and Adam Scott on the set when they were filming last week. Be sure to check out the pic in the gallery.
Empire Online has published a brand new UK poster for director Timur Bekmambetov's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter which hits theaters on June 22 in 3D. So far, this is my favorite poster released. Be sure to see the full-sized poster in the gallery.
Also, apologizes for the lack of updates on Mary and Riley's new short film project, The Cub, but the film surpassed the initial funding asking price of around 3K and reached $5,000+. A couple of days ago, Riley and Mary filmed The Cub with actress Savannah Lathem. And five days ago, Riley and Mary both tweeted that they had seen dailies for the film and to quote Mary: "Just watched the dailies from THE CUB and it all looks AMAZING!! Proud producer."
I'll be sure to update you guys more on the progress of that film.
And on a bit of a sidenote, Hitfix has named Mary one of the sexiest stars of summer 2012.
I've updated the gallery with some new MQ pics of Mary at some past events from the last couple of months. First, I added three new photos of Mary attending The Hollywood Reporter's "Nominees' Night 2012″ back in February and then, I updated the gallery with some new photos of her at the Valentino 50th Anniversary And New Flagship Store Opening On Rodeo Drive that Mary attended in March.
The Hollywood Reporter's "Nominees' Night 2012″:
Valentino 50th Anniversary And New Flagship Store Opening On Rodeo Drive
I have finally uploaded over 1500 caps of Mary Elizabeth Winstead in 2011's The Thing to the gallery, all ready for your viewing pleasure! Be sure to check out all the pics and enjoy!
I have finally begun to upload the first caps for 2011's The Thing. Since I'm doing them by hand, it'll take some time, but please bear with me. I will continue to add additional caps throughout the weekend and everyday until I get the film completely capped. You can see the current caps in the gallery.
Also, production on Mary's new film, A.C.O.D. has officially wrapped according to Mary:
Back in August of 2010 while Mary was promoting Scott Pilgrim Vs the World during one of her interviews during Comic-Con, Mary (& I think a few of the other actors too) had revealed that they had all received a list of ten facts about their character that wasn't in the books or the film.
At the time, Mary explained:
A fan recently asked comic creator Bryan Lee O'Malley about the lists, and this was the Q&A:

So I caught the repeat of the Glee Club/football team mashup, and I want to say this, if I may.
I think Karkofsky's got a LONG way to go before he even thinks how much fun he had on the field that night.
Sure, it's all about the popularity and the fact that everyone looks up to football players. But knowing how much fun you had and seeing the crowd light up during that halftime show is a lot better than knowing you're a good football player.

East 15 announces appointment of new Director
Professor Leon Rubin commences his post as Director of the East 15 Acting School on the 4 January 2007. He comes straight from Middlesex University where he was the Professor of Drama and Theatre Arts and Head of the MA and MFA in International Theatre Directing. Prior to this he has been Artistic Director of three major UK theatre companies, including the Bristol Old Vic.
Also a member of the Directors Guild of Great Britain, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, he was awarded an Honorary Professorship of GITIS Russian Theatre Academy, Moscow, in 1997 for his distinguished work in the Russian Theatre. He is a former Associate at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin and began his career as Assistant Director at the Royal Shakespeare Company. He is author of The Nicholas Nickleby Story (the making of the RSC production) and a new book on Balinese theatre that will be published by Routledge in 2007.
Professor Rubin has directed numerous productions throughout the world, including Canada, Thailand, Japan, Greece, the USA, Ireland, Chile and Hong Kong, as well as the UK. His international training and lecturing activities have also been undertaken in those countries and in others as diverse as Russia, Spain, Korea, France, Holland and the Philippines. In the last few years, he has directed a series of Shakespeare productions for the Stratford Festival Theatre, Canada and a major Japanese theatre company, Bungaku-za. In the past year he directed a Chinese version of Peter Pan in Hong Kong and a new Canadian play in London. He is director of a long-running show in Phuket, Thailand, which has been performed in a 3,000 seat theatre for the past eight years. He has also directed in the West End and in New York.
These are exciting times for East 15, as the new Director will be responsible for a three-phased opening of East 15 at Southend-on-Sea, which will be launched in September 2007 with four new degree schemes. Four more new programmes are being offered from September 2008 and the final group of three schemes will be introduced in September 2009. The innovative degrees currently being considered include BA Theatre and Disability, BA Design, BA Physical Theatre and BA Writing for Film, Theatre, Radio and TV.
East 15 will continue to run its prestigious programmes at the Loughton Campus, where the School has produced actors, directors, writers and teachers of high calibre for over 40 years, with alumni including Alison Steadman, April de Angelis and Stephen Daldry.
Professor Rubin said: 'I am delighted to join the University of Essex and East 15 at the beginning of a new era of development for them both. I know we will all continue together the dynamic traditions of the past as we also innovate and prepare for the theatre of the future. There are exciting times ahead as the work at Loughton continues to flourish and the Southend Campus begins to take shape.'

Five things I wish I knew when I offered to give a eulogy
Waking today I remembered that twelve months ago, the 29th November, was an equally drab and grey November morning. Not too much different to any other autumn morning when the sun stays at half light as though its too apathetic to break through the clouds. It suited me, felt like an honest reflection of my mood as it was the day of Dad's funeral. Two weeks had passed since he died, two long and short weeks, not dissimilar to how time has passed since – so fast it feels like a lifetime ago, and so slow that it's as real as yesterday. In that fortnight I had spent many hours ruminating on giving his eulogy, something that felt like a huge privilege and a huge responsibility in equal measure.
1. Ask permission before it's too late
I only asked Dad if I could give his euology in the last couple weeks before he died. It's no exaggeration to say I'd been thinking about it for years but I was slightly anxious about asking in case he said no! My Dad was a complete paradox of traditional Lincolnshire stock, but also the proudest Dad on the planet, so it could go either way. In the event he started off ambivalent What do I care I'm not going to be around to worry, and ended up all behind it, telling me to make sure I didn't go on too long (he knows me well) and also saying he hoped it'd appear on my blog!! This conversation has brought me much comfort over the last twelve months, the confidence he had in me to do a good job, but also in his acceptance, indeed his enthusiasm for my blogging.
2. Make sure family members know about that discussion
Pretty much immediately after Dad died we set to discussing his send off. The first time I mentioned me giving his eulogy it's fair to say my Mum and siblings were lukewarm to the idea. No-one objected outright, but no-one was exactly brimming with enthusiasm either. This threw me, then upset me and eventually made sense. It wasn't that they doubted my ability to do a good job (although that's exactly what I heard and interpreted at first), it was partly about a concern that it would be too hard for me, and partly a concern that it would be too hard for other people and it would be better that someone more removed did it.
3. Start writing it as soon as possible
In the end I did give Dad's eulogy, we spent hours crafting it, luckily Dad had made some notes about his early years before he met Mum which made it easier to talk intelligibly about that time. Google also came into it's own when checking out the passage that his first naval trip had taken. We gathered stories and reminisced for hours. Mum and I played with words, perfecting and perfecting and were almost at a danger of over perfecting.
The priest that came to discuss Dad's funeral with Mum and I was hugely supportive of me giving the eulogy, stressed how it's always good if someone who knows the person is able to share a sense of personal; that helped a lot, boosted my fragile confidence about the whole thing. The other thing that boosted that belief was the lovely twittersphere and I am so grateful for those who reached out. I had slowly returned to twitter after Dad died having been very sporadic for a week or two; the advice that stuck with me was from Andrea Sutcliffe:
4. Rehearse
So, I rehearsed. I read it out loud and I read it in my head.
I am perfectly used to speaking to groups of strangers, rooms full of them. Less used to talking to family and friends, especially on such occasions. I remember repeating slow down and breathe in my head in the hymn before I had to get up. In fact I remember repeating it on loop in the days that preceded Dad's funeral, I was on a short wick and felt like I was inpatient with everything and everyone. I was completely hypersensitive, everything illicited a stronger reaction, good and bad. What this meant on the day was that every emotion was magnified, including nerves.
Luckily, we had the logistics sorted, I had a printed copy of Dad's eulogy, double spaced with a few stars scribbled on where I needed to breathe and take a pause. I'd rehearsed enough to know the two points where I was at highest risk of cracking up – the point where I mentioned my sister's best mate, Dad's honorary third daughter; and the point where I insisted that Dad hadn't lost his fight with cancer (I really need to blog about that analogy some time). We also had a back up plan (Bobby would have been proud that we were that well prepared), my brother in law had a copy in his pocket and had promised he'd finish it off or do it if I didn't feel able to.
5. Remember that everyone there is with you, not waiting for you to fail
The climax to this was actually much better than I thought. A calm came over me as I stood at that lectern and looked at the sea of faces in front of me. I was so proud that the church was full, those from the cadet force were in full uniform, something that made my heart swell as I thought about how proud Dad would have been. My gorgeous, lovely, ever supportive PA from work was in the audience and I spotted her in the sea of faces before I started talking and that made me feel much calmer. I couldn't look at the front row, at my nearest and dearest although my Mum was the definition of serene and dignified, I wasn't sure I could handle the anticipation and the pain. I took a deep breath, gathered my thoughts and started.
It went well.
On reflection I'm sure I could have been slower, allowed more time after the laughs (I'd not anticipated them, not at a funeral), almost certainly should have made more eye contact, but the stakes were high and I couldn't risk that. I didn't crack up giving Dad's eulogy, I channeled Dad's stoicism and held it together until back in my seat. That's when the nerves really kicked in, the hands were shaking and the sobs rattling around in the back of my throat.
It was done though and I felt an immense relief.
All good researchers tell you that you measurement and feedback is key. I felt humbled at the number of people who made a point of congratulating me after the funeral, the biggest compliments were those that said it was exactly as Dad would have wanted, and we'd captured his essence perfectly. A year on as I sit thinking of Dad, thinking of that day, remembering the love that was shared with us, in words, in actions, in company, it feels right. I'm so glad that I risked giving Dad's eulogy, that I spent the hours perfecting it, that I asked him and got his support. They're only words after all but they're probably the most important words I've ever written.
If you'd like to read Dad's eulogy it's available here.

Celebrity Plastic Surgery
Who can blame celebrities for getting plastic surgery? If we were faced with the constant scrutiny of Twitter and TMZ, we might be tempted to nip a little here and tuck a little there as well. But while some stars keep their enhancements very subtle — hello, Jennifer Lopez! — some are far more obvious with their work. From Iggy Azalea's new nose to Lil Kim's...everything, here are some of the most obvious examples of celebrity plastic surgery.

When I started brainstorming what type of clothing I would like to create, two main ideas came to mind:
1. I wanted the colors to give me an out of this world space vibe and
2. I wanted the clothing to be classy, but not something you would find your grandmother wearing.
Hopefully I accomplished both. Enjoy!
Step 1: Sketching the design
Step 2: Bring Design into Autodesk Sketchbook
This process was extremely easy!
Next, I looked at the color palette and got a feel for what type of colors I would like to use.
Step 3: Outlining with Steady Stroke
As you can see on the left hand side, I experimented with many different utensils and widths.
Step 4: Rectangles with Polyline
As you can see on the left hand side, I made a few different shapes using the Polyline feature.
Step 5: Adding Color
I picked the color I wanted, in this case black, clicked on the bucket, and then clicked on the areas I would like for it to go. It is important that the area you click is a "closed" area, otherwise the color will go other places as well.

An interview with up-and-coming fashion designer Kate Walz
August 17, 2011
Even at 14 years old, local designer Kate Walz is no newcomer to the runway–she showed collections in Spring and Fall 2010 on the Omaha Fashion Week stage, as well as several other events including a fundraiser for a friend in her community with breast cancer. I sat down with her a few weeks ago to ask her some questions about the path she has been on as a designer, what she has learned, and what's next for her as she continues to challenge herself and renew her vision as a designer.
In past years, Kate has presented several collections that showed her growing range, starting from tulle skirts and moving into taffeta party dresses and long gowns, always experimenting with silhouettes and textures.
Kate and I met at Blue Line coffee in Dundee and she was accompanied by her dad and brother. Kate's parents are her biggest supporters–every time we have a meeting or fashion week designer event, there is no shortage of encouragement from her mom and dad. I love seeing that and it makes me so optimistic for Kate's future because nothing is more important and helpful than when your parents have faith in your passion.
Here's a look into our conversation that day!
Meg: How is this year's collection different from what you've done in the past?
Kate: Last fall I did all tutus–it was fun and girly. This year I am trying harder to edit my collections, and I'm showing ten pieces. For this fall I am doing all jewel tones. I have some reversible skirts that the models will take off with a beautiful ruched fitted dress underneath. I'm also not just doing skirts anymore. I'll always use tulle though, because it's lightweight and there's so much you can do with it. And you can get it in any color.
This year I am making sure everything matches, using the same colors and fabrics. In my first show, I just used all different colors in the same tutu, the same dresses, and after the first show when I saw the pictures, I realized that I wanted the collection to be more cohesive.
M: Do you plan to pursue a career in design at this point?
K: I want to go to fashion school, and I'm excited to go to high school next year where I can take some fashion classes.
M: Have you sold any of your pieces yet?
K: I used to sell at Bellwether Boutique in the Old Market as Just Because by Kate Walz. I sold some shirts there. I make clothes for myself and my friends–like matching dresses. I did a dress with satin on the bottom that was pink, blue, and purple, with a black bodice and roses around the neckline.
M: What are you most proud of, out of all you have accomplished and learned in the last two years?
K: I'm most proud that I'm even in fashion week as the youngest designer. One of my models bought a dress-she was going to wear it in a pageant, so that was an honor.
M: How do you learn new techniques? Do you take classes?
In the past I have taken some sewing classes at the Bernina store where I made a pair of shorts and a bag–
M: –I think I took that class when I was younger too! A denim bag?
K: Yes! And we embroidered it with a machine. Mostly when I want to use a new technique, I just wing it and see what works. Sometimes I watch YouTube too. Like I learned how to gather by watching a video.
M: So has it been hard being a young designer? I mean, I can imagine that without a certain level of experience it might be hard to take charge or something.
K: Last year at Omaha Fashion Week I freaked out a little bit because my models kept leaving. But I've done a few shows since then and I've gotten more comfortable taking charge and telling the models what I need them to do.
M: Because a lot of them are the same age as you, or even older!
K: Yeah most of them are older. I'm working with some very professional ones this year.
M: Older, like sixteen. What kind of model do you typically look for to convey your brand message?
K: I've been using a lot of the same models–I've figured out my look. I want variety and diversity in models so it looks like anyone can wear the clothes. I don't want there to be an age limit on who can wear my clothes. At my first fashion show, one of the Omaha Fashion Week organizers wore one of my tutus!
M: Besides Omaha Fashion Week, what else is coming up for you?
K: I'm doing a show in October called Sweet Couture. It's cool because pastry chefs design chocolate hats for each dress. I was asked on Facebook to design the finale piece. One dress will even be made out of chocolate–I'm not sure how that will work.
M: What else?
K: I'd like to be a designer living in New York, and have my own store. I'd like to be able to sell my own clothes and make money doing what I love.
M: What advice do you have for other young people who want to get into designing?
K: Start out drawing and learn how to sew. Just take a class. You don't have to design something you're capable of sewing in the beginning, so you're just being creative at first. Don't let yourself be held back just because you can't sew it. I started out drawing lots of tutus because it's all I could sew. But now I draw more things and I'm gradually learning how to turn my sketches into pieces that work on the runway. My teacher said, you should make your clothes look expensive. Use smaller stitches, have cleaner seams, sew closer to the edge, etc.
Go see Kate's Omaha Fashion Week show this year on Tuesday, August 23rd at 8pm. Buy tickets for the Tuesday show at the Omaha Fashion Week website! (And pick up a pair for the Thursday show too so you can see my new collection drop!)
Thanks again, Kate, for meeting with me at Blue Line and telling me more about your work. I think you've already made a splash here locally and I can't wait to see you continue to come up as a new designer.

LINE them up in your head. Generation after generation of your ancestors, reaching back in time through civilisations, ice ages, an epic migration out of Africa, to the very origin of our species. And on the other side, take a chimp and line up its ancestors. How far back do you have to go, how many generations have to pass, before the two lines meet?
This is one of the biggest and hardest questions in human evolution. We know that at some point we shared a common ancestor with chimps, but exactly when - and what that ancestor was like - have been maddeningly hard to pin down. Palaeontologists have searched for fossil remains, and geneticists have rummaged through the historical documents that are human and chimp DNA. Both made discoveries, but they did not see eye to eye.
No more. New estimates for when our lineage and chimps went ...

Demi Lovato signs multi-book deal, will pen a memoir
Actor, singer, reality show judge ... and now author? Is there anything Demi Lovato can't do?
The 21-year-old quadruple threat is taking her talents to the written word. Lovato has just agreed to a multi-book deal, publisher Feiwel and Friends announced on Monday (Sept. 9).
Lovato's first book will feature tweets she has shared about her life. Titled "Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year," it is set to come out in November.
The "X Factor" judge also plans to write a memoir. Lovato has openly struggled with bulimia, cutting, and drug and alcohol abuse and other personal troubles, as well as an alleged nude photo scandal, so even though she is only 21 there is plenty of material for a memoir.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi gives his ministerial colleagues all the freedom and encourages them to take decisions, Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar said on Tuesday while remarking that "policy paralysis" had come to an end under the new regime.
"He gives us so much freedom and has only one mantra for us – that 'you should have the courage to take decisions. Listen to all, but take decisions which are best for the country'," Javadekar said with reference to Modi.
Javadekar outrightly dismissed suggestions that the prime minister wielded too much authority over his colleagues or had ticked off a minister for wearing jeans or that there had been any such instances.
"I can show you a picture of Modiji in jeans. We have got the person with the best dressing sense and he will not bar someone from wearing certain clothes. The PMO is not so childish.
"To imagine such things, it is an unsuccessful attempt to cause damage to his (Modi's) image. But we are directly connected with the people," Javadekar said even as he claimed that some people from Congress were spreading misinformation.
As his dispensation marks 100 days in power, the minister said that people had chosen the NDA government for five years and not just hundred days. He averred that during this period, however, "policy paralysis" has ended and decisions are being taken in all ministries.
He added that the prices of petrol have been reduced twice recently and steps taken in these 100 days to keep the prices of food items in check.
Javadekar said that in Rajya Sabha recently, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had congratulated him when he was told that 17 projects which had been referred to the Environment and Forests ministry by the previous regime had been cleared now after NDA had come to power.
Javadekar, who also holds charge of the Ministry of Environment and Forests in the Modi government, said that proposals like that for a BSF post in Kutch or relating to a broken fence along the Bangladesh border, which were held back, had been cleared by the NDA government.
Javadekar said that the investors have gained confidence now as the economy is back on the growth path. He said that the GDP growth rate would once more rise to 8.4 per cent and beyond.
He was speaking at an event organised by the Aaj Tak channel.
Congress leader Deepender Hooda who, too, was taking part in the event, said that the government may have reduced the prices of …continued »

This week, Maryland wine lovers will be able to get their favorite bottles delivered directly to their homes — so long as they're interested in buying from one of the 11 wineries that have applied for a shipping permit.
Since the state made the applications available on June 10, just eight Maryland wineries have returned the forms, according to the office of the state comptroller. Three more from out of state have also applied.
Maryland is home to 50 wineries, and there are about 6,500 across the country.
Under the new law, passed this spring by the General Assembly after a multi-year fight, wineries must obtain a permit from the comptroller's office, post a $1,000 bond and pay $200 per year to the state.
On the imbiber's end, the person signing for the wine must prove to the delivery worker that he or she is at least 21 years old. Each consumer may have up to 18 cases per year delivered from each participating winery.
Baltimore County's Boordy Vineyards, Maryland's oldest and best-known winery, was among the first to apply for a permit. Owner Rob Deford said shipping is "an absolute must" for new wineries — but even at age 66, his winery can use home delivery as a marketing tool.
"Maryland is not an easy place to grow grapes," he said, "but when you get it right, the wines can be just beautiful."
Direct shipping will help get those wines into more glasses, Deford said.
The vineyard, which sells about 42,000 cases per year, plans to use direct shipping for a new venture — called the landmark project — that Deford said will "promote premium wines driven by nature, not consumer demand."
If those wines are popular among home delivery recipients, he said, they'll circulate into the larger market.
Winery owners and consumer advocates said one reason that so few wineries have applied for permits so far could be the season.
Summer isn't the ideal time to transport wine, which could degrade in the heat. It's also growing season, and some winery owners, including Bert Basignani of his namesake Baltimore County winery, say they've been so busy with farming that they haven't had time to take a breath and apply for the shipping permit.
State Comptroller Peter Franchot said there's also a "learning curve." He predicted it would "take a while for the wine community to adjust" to direct shipping.
"People need to get comfortable with the new law once it kicks in," he said. "For decades, the wine industry has seen Maryland as a medieval regulatory state. They slapped their foreheads and wondered what we were thinking."
Maryland, which has some of the tightest alcohol controls in the nation, was one of 13 states that did not allow wineries to ship directly to customers. Violating the law was a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Franchot believes that "thousands" of Marylanders circumvented the law by having bottles shipped to their offices in Washington or a friend's home in Virginia — still a crime, if you're caught.
Wine retailers are still not allowed to ship to consumers, which keeps popular Internet-based wine-of-the-month clubs off limits, though consumer advocates have vowed to continue lobbying Annapolis to allow retail delivery.
"If there's a particular bottle that you want shipped, and it's not offered by one of the wineries with a permit, you're right back to the same problem as before the new law," said Adam Borden, president of Marylanders for Better Beer and Wine Laws.
"There were people who felt, let's get this done right the first time. But the General Assembly was more, 'One step at a time.'"

A doctor of internal medicine (also known as a physician of internal medicine) specializes in diagnosing, treating, and managing the various diseases and conditions that affect the human body's internal organs. Doctors of internal medicine may also specialize in a variety of different areas, such as cardiology, sports medicine, infectious disease, or geriatrics. They may work in medical offices, clinics, and hospitals; they may also open their own private practice or partner with other doctors to form a group practice. It is fairly common doctors of internal medicine to work part-time in several different facilities. Their hours vary depending on their chosen work environment, although these physicians typically work over 40 hours per week and are on call for medical emergencies. In private practice, these physicians may work comparatively fewer hours but spend additional time completing administrative tasks.Read More...
To become a doctor of internal medicine, a medical doctorate (M.D.) is required. To obtain this degree, four years of medical school are required after earning a bachelor's degree. After the M.D. is earned, a one-year internship and three years as a resident in a medical setting are required before a license to practice medicine is issued. If the doctor of internal medicine decides to pursue a specialization, they are required to complete an additional one to three years of training. Doctors of internal medicine must pass several certification and licensing exams and are required to pass oral and written exams to become "board certified" by their local licensing board.

Internal Medicine Physicians may progress into high-paying roles like Invasive Cardiologist, where median compensation is $263K annually. Given that the median pay is $146K, it may be surprising to find that a General Internist is the most common role for Internal Medicine Physicians to subsequently assume on their way up the ladder. Transitioning into a Hospitalist role — which pays $183K — is also typical for Internal Medicine Physicians, though less common by comparison.
While select V.A. Medical Center employees may bring in up to $191K, a median salary of only $168K — the lowest in the field — suggests a serious lag in the earnings department.
Professional skills reported by Internal Medicine Physicians are few in number. Most notably, facility with Hospitalist and Geriatrics are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 54 percent and 5 percent, respectively. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Palliative Care. Competency in Geriatrics frequently indicates knowledge of Internal Medicine.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Internal Medicine Physicians with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $160K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $174K. Internal Medicine Physicians bring in $181K after working for 10 to 20 years. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $187K.

Dar es Salaam — Fastjet Plc, Africa's first pan African low cost carrier has said it will soon launch a website where customers would buy tickets using mobile phone technology. It will debit the users phone accounts.
In Tanzania, mobile money transfer service that allows mobile phone users to send and receive money, as well as paying their bills is performing successfully.
There is the Mpesa, Tigo Pesa, Zan Money and Airtel Money among others battling for the existing market.
According to the airline holding company for African airline Fly540, operating from four bases in Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana and Angola, it will commerce its first flight this month.
The airline's Chief Executive Mr. Ed Winter told East African Business Week in Dar es Salaam while unveiling its new brand that will begin selling tickets this week ahead of the airline's first flight this month.
"We have created the airline's new website which would allow tickets to be bought using credit/debit cards as well as mobile phone technology that debits the users phone accounts next week," said Winter.
Additionally, Winter said tickets will also be sold through travel agents. They will also be sold at Fastjet's own sales desk, call centre and offices throughout East Africa.
He insisted tickets will be available from as low as $20 one-way excluding taxes and charges.
The new branding, which replaces the existing placeholder logo, features the well-known African Grey Parrot which was carefully selected following in-depth market research in Africa and reflects the firm's mission, values and target audience.
He said African Grey is a perfect personification of Fastjet's motto, the smart travel. "We are delighted to be unveiling this new branding today (last week), which better reflects our individual corporate identity and speaks to our key audiences," noted Winter.
The airline which is listed on the London Stock Exchange has three Airbus A319s as part of its fleet.
Winter said all three aircraft are in the process of being painted with the Fastjet livery before being dispatched to Tanzania ready for the launch.
The airline's Chairman, Mr David Lenigas said; "We are excited that the launch is now imminent and that fastjet will be turning from a concept into a reality."
Fastjet Plc is the holding company for African airline Fly540, which operates from four bases in Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana and Angola. Fly540 currently has 10 aircraft serving around 25 domestic and regional destinations, carrying approximately 750,000 passengers per year with a strong emphasis on safety, security and reliability.
Africa is a growth aviation market with regional and intercontinental traffic both growing rapidly as a result of the continent's continued economic expansion. With over one billion people, Africa is hampered by poor infrastructure, a lack of roads and railways and long distances between urban populations. The African aviation market is significantly underserved with air travel spending as a percentage of GDP a fraction of that of other emerging markets.

Critical Essay by George Edgar Slusser
In pursuing what I call the "Odyssey pattern," I seek to define a central organizing structure in Clarke's fiction, one which bears interesting and precise analogies to the writer's cultural and social situation and hence to ours. If all literature possesses such significant structures, Clarke's work is of particular interest for its angle of vision—here is a scientist writing about the quandary of modern scientific man, drawing on deep and persistent currents of Western literature. This firm grounding in the "two cultures" alone would make Clarke worthy of our attention. As we shall discover, there is much more. (p. 3)
More than characters or wise pronouncements in Clarke (the first are usually flat, the second commonplace), the reader notices the insistence with which he returns to the same ambiguous pattern over and over. Ambiguity is not some...

Bishop Boulos Yazigi of the Greek Orthodox Church, left, and John Ibrahim of the Assyrian Orthodox Church, right, who were kidnapped Monday, in the northern province of Aleppo, Syria. (AP Photo/SANA)
BEIRUT: Greek Orthodox Patriarch John X Yazigi discussed developments Thursday in the case of two bishops kidnapped in Syria with General Security head Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim.
The two met at the Rafik Hariri International Airport for 20 minutes before Yazigi left for the Vatican.
"We thank everyone for their efforts particularly Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim for the efforts he has made in the case of the kidnapped two bishops and we will remain hopeful," Yazigi told reporters at the Beirut airport in response to a question about the meeting with Ibrahim.
"God willing, soon we will all celebrate the presence of bishops Yazigi and Yohanna among us," he said.
Armed men abducted Aleppo's Greek Orthodox Archbishop Paul Yazigi and Syriac Orthodox Archbishop Yohanna Ibrahim in April while they were on their way to Aleppo from the Turkish border.
Yazigi is scheduled to hold talks with the pope and discuss the situation in Syria and the Christians in the Middle East.
"Wherever we go, we carry the concerns of our people and the region so there will be deliberations about the situation in our countries in the East, Syria and Lebanon," he said.
He also thanked the pope for the call for peace he made earlier this month for the world and in Syria.
Yazigi also discussed the situation of the predominantly Christian Syrian village of Maaloula, which recently came under attack by radical rebel groups who reportedly destroyed and looted churches, forcing dozens of families to flee.
The patriarch said he made an appeal earlier this week to distance the village from clashes and spare it damage.
The village is of great significance to Christianity as some of its inhabitants speak Aramaic, the language believed to be spoken by Jesus.
"The appeal was also for all international organizations, the International Red Cross, the Red Crescent, and government and non-government organizations to help the village from a humanitarian aspect and provide it with water, electricity and food for the 40 individuals, including nuns and orphans, in the Mar Takla monastery," Yazigi said.
He noted that the nuns were not hostages but that they refused to leave the monastery.
Asked about the presence of Christians in the Middle East, Yazigi said Christians and Muslims of this region share a similar history and fate and "we have always lived side by side despite some circumstances."

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The human cost of the Greek financial crisis
18 Mar 2012 19:06 GMT | Middle East, US & Canada, Turkey, United States
Turkish police have used water cannons, tear gas and baton charges to break up Kurdish demonstrations across the country, leaving one local politician dead in a sign of rising tension ahead of the Kurdish new year of Navroz.
Several thousand people gathered just outside the city of Diyarbakir, in the southeast, and were confronted by hundreds of riot police backed by armoured cars and helicopters.
Television pictures showed a police water cannon vehicle driving towards a group of stone-throwing youths, spraying them as it went, while other officers fired tear gas.
Police had taken over strategic points in the city from the early morning and tried to prevent large crowds from coming together.
Haci Zengin, the head of an Istanbul branch office of the main Kurdish political party, Peace and Development, died after being hit on the head by a tear gas canister, party members posted on their Twitter accounts. Police said nine people were injured and 106 arrested.
The unrest spread to nearby areas and several cars were torched, the AFP news agency reported.
Protesters also threw firebombs, the Anatolia news agency reported, adding that a police officer suffered a broken arm and an elderly person was hit in the head with stones.
Celebrations banned
The Peace and Development Party (BDP) and the main armed movement, the illegal Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK), have both called for large demonstrations on Navroz, which begins on March 21, sensing that the government, which has strongly backed Arab uprisings, may be vulnerable to pressure from street protests.
Both the legal BDP and the PKK are demanding a level of autonomy for the mainly Kurdish southeast of the country.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's conservative government has taken steps to increase cultural rights for the country's Kurds, who make up about 20 per cent of the population, but has come out strongly against autonomy.
Turkish authorities had banned Navroz celebrations until March 21.
Still, tens of thousands of people gathered just outside Diyarbakir, waving Kurdish flags and holding up portraits of Abdullah Ocalan, the jailed PKK leader.
"Long live the leader Apo," they chanted, referring to Ocalan's nickname. "The PKK is the people, the people are here."
Crowds set fire to at least four mobile telephone relay stations and ignited tyres in the streets. Fire is the traditional symbol of Navroz, originally a Zoroastrian festival. Thousands of people danced, cheered, leapt over fires and shouted slogans as columns of black smoke rose into the air.
The Kurdish protesters "have nothing to do with the Navroz celebrations," Diyarbakir governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu told Anatolia. "What they want is to fight with the security forces ... We won't let them do that."
Police in Istanbul, Turkey's biggest city, which features a large Kurdish population, also moved in to break up a Navroz celebration just outside the city's ancient city walls. Clashes broke out when police prevented two groups of more than 1,000 people coming together, Turkish media said.
Turkish prosecutors have this year arrested thousands of people across the country accused of sympathies with the PKK, which Turkey, the United States and the European Union recognise as a terrorist organisation.
More than 40,000 fighters, soldiers and civilians have been killed in the fighting since the PKK took up arms in 1984.
The bloodiest Navroz in Turkey occurred in 1992, when some 50 people were killed by security forces in the Kurdish-dominated southeast.

After dramatic recovery, coma patient returns to Tucson
Sam Schmid made headlines worldwide when he came out of a week-long coma that had him near brain death in 2011.
With the wiggle of two fingers the night after discussions of taking the then-21-year-old off of life support, Schmid took the first step in his journey to medical miracle.
Having completed years of grueling rehabilitation therapies since that day, the former University of Arizona student is bound to return to his hometown to complete school and begin work. Schmid, 23, was recovering at Barrow Neurological Center, where he was airlifted after the fateful car accident which placed him in such a condition in Tucson in 2011.
"It's taken a great medical team as well as hard work and dedication to make the type of recovery I've made," says Schmid. "Not only did I learn to walk and talk again but I've learned how to reintegrate myself back into the community and to be successful."
Schmid may be grateful to the medical staff which has assisted his rehabilitation over the years, but he stops short of labeling himself just a favored anomaly.
"It's not that I was lucky to have this remarkable recovery," he says. "It's that I worked for this remarkable recovery."
He wants to inspire others to put in such effort in their own recoveries and battles, rather than waiting for special circumstances.

Let's begin with what's Search Engine Optimization?
SEO stands for search engine optimization. Along with the phrase enhance your own seo strategy encompasses the activities taken to make sure your website is found in an internet search engine's results page (SERP) when hunting for words or phrases related to the content on your web site.
What does Societal SEO mean?
Social Search Engine Optimization describes the thought that interaction and social media links play a considerable role in a website's search positions. It sounds complicated (and, in reality it is) but essentially Search Engine Optimization is about optimizing content–whether it's on your own site or on a social media platform–in order to appear higher in search rankings.
Here are six uncomplicated Societal Search Engine Optimization tips you can easily begin implementing now:
1. Optimize your social networking profiles
The important thing to a best SEO in Raleigh friendly social networking profile will be descriptive as possible. Use words or phrases that describe your company and so are also terms individuals would utilize to search for your company.
For instance, to optimize your Facebook Page for local searches, it is very important to include your address, city, state, and zip. Always contain links out of your social channels back to your company's site (and links from your website to your social channels).
Insider Tip: The "Group" field is frequently over looked on Facebook Pages but is essential for Facebook mobile searches. Assess to be sure your company is recorded as the correct type while editing your fundamental info.
2. Optimize your social media content/upgrades
To optimize your societal content, always comprise a few of the applicable search keywords you ascertained for the business in your Facebook updates, tweets, pin descriptions, etc. It Is important to remember to share content from your own site or web log socially to give it a Search Engine Optimization boost also.
Insider Suggestion: Use your company's name in your societal places. This helps Google associate the key word you utilize to describe your business with your company's name.
3. Construct links by making your content shareable
A vital factor in SEO is link building. In other words, this means having good site to web site relationships through links. More authority equals a higher SERP position.
Likes, opinions, 1s, repins, retweets, etc., all play to the weight given to your links. If you create content people desire to share, it is possible to create more inbound links. "Content" doesn't constantly have to be as elaborate as a site post or whitepaper, content also can make reference to tweets or Facebook posts also. By posting engaging social content, you're improving your SEO worth. Simple right?
Insider Hint: A more advanced way to increase shares will be to add societal share buttons to individual pieces of content on your own website or web log. http://copynight.org/
4. Use Pinterest
Pinterest is excellent for link building and enhancing your keyword strategy. Google indexes pages from websites with heavy traffic higher and more rapid in a SERP. From an SEO perspective, Pinterest enables one to do a few things that other networks don't, so take advantage of it. Insider Trick: Google prefers high-resolution pictures, so use high-quality images on Pinterest whenever potential.
5. Subscribe to Google and spend 10-minutes a day about it
No one loves Google more than Google. Google also lets you add several customized links within your profile, you can use this as a chance to link back to your site, blog, and additional societal channels. By spending 10-minutes a day sharing your articles for your Google page, you'll be prone to appear within Google's SERP. There are more reasons you ought to care about Google if you are a Solution Supplier.
6. Build a Google Local listing
An Area Google page differs from a Google Business Page as it enables customers to easily connect with that company's actual place. Update the details about your company–address, telephone number, hours, etc.–and you are all set!
Here are a few common mistakes to avoid:
- Not making your business's social media sites public.
- Making a Facebook Profile rather than a Facebook Page (learn how you can repair this here).
- Not customizing your Facebook URL. (Here's how)
- Uploading pictures to your own social channels with file names such as: Photo1 or IMG1287–pictures with significant file names are able to help you rank better.
- Duplicating another web site's content. Your time plus resources are restricted as a tiny business owner but Google does not like this.
Enhancing your SEO takes time and SERP changes do not occur immediately. Always be as descriptive as you can and keep your information updated. Ultimately, as a little business owner you shouldn't obsess over SEO. Rather, focus on providing a WOW! experience to your customers and your organization will gain through natural word of mouth.

Dear Lynn,
I beleive the massive beachings of marine mammals is due to all the underwater noise and electromagnetic energies emitted from submarines, USO"s, and other projects on the ocean floors. These creatures have developed highly sensitive receptors and the simple "ping" of a submarine is probably amplified a million times sounding more like a Chinese gong. To a dolphin or whale it probably sounds like a busy Vegas casino at high volume that NEVER ends. Not only that but there is also underwater communications and probably underwater versions of HAARP. Imagine listening to a busy CB radio channel at high volume and many radios at one time along with the hundreds of sonar ping-gongs, that would be enough to drive anyone insane. The beachings are a futile attempt to get away. When these animals jump out of the water for a second or two the noise stops for an instant. It might even be that they have begun to understand underwater radio transmissions and are terrified. Animals of all kinds are very sensitive to the intentions of unknown persons or objects. They can probably tell the difference between submarines from different countries and whether they are freind or foe. Going way out on a limb I suspect that there are one or more submarines with evil intent who's transmissions are recognized by marine mammals and they are so frightened they beach themselves trying to get away. If I were in command of anti-submarine warfare I would want to look for hostile submarines in areas where these massive beachings are taking place.
