Hey Everyone, welcome back to Colourful Friday.
Today a few ladies from the Orillia Quilter's Guild met for the first meeting of the Colour Club. There were 10 of us in total and we have decided to work through the book The Quilter's Color Club by Christine E. Barnes to gain a better understanding of colour.
This book has a great layout talking about colour, value, the colour wheel and it's different schemes. Along with all of these discussions are exercises to help the club along in understanding each colour scheme, value, intensity and so on.
We have decided to start with making the traditional colour wheel as well as the Herbert Ives colour wheel which Joen Wolfram bases her book Colour Play on. As suggested in Christine's book we will be using fabric to create the wheels. The idea is from this book as well and we will be trading fabrics with each other to create the colours from the pure hue to the shades and tints for each colour on the wheel. Our first colours to start with next meeting are yellow and yellow-orange. Can't wait to start trading fabrics and seeing what everyone brings.
It is going to be a great group to belong to as there are going to be 10 pairs of eyes seeing the fabrics and the colours and each interpreting them in a different way. The discussion that is sure to ensue will be enlightening and interesting. Not to mention the time for social interaction with fellow like minded quilters will be an added bonus.
Take a look at the book – it is a great book that you and your fellow quilters could use to understand colour better. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to learn. There isn't even any sewing involved – all the exercises have you pasting the fabric in position. Get together at someone's home and start your club today – take turns each month going around to each other's houses and using each other's stashes to work through the exercises.
A Colour Club – what fun! I always wanted to belong to a club.
Happy Quilting!

Spring Asparagus Soup with Warm Herbed Chevre Crouton
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This soup has a wonderful asparagus flavor that holds up well to the large chevre crouton that is added at the end thanks the asparagus stock used instead of water or chicken stock, and the way the asparagus is sweated with sliced leek, spring onions, yellow onion, thyme and yellow mustard seed to completely soften the fibrous asparagus and bring out its full flavor. The thyme and mustard seed bring in some great herb flavors, but a little pack of herbs is in the crouton that mixes in with the soup as the goat cheese melts so if you decide (mistakenly!) to omit the chevre, you'll want to add a little more herbs and salt when making the soup. Note: the stock, which is made from the first 8 ingredients below, can be made in 1 hour and can be simmering while you prep the rest of the soup. Water or chicken stock can be substituted with ease, but you'll lose some asparagus flavor. —TheWimpyVegetarian
Serves 4-6 (depending on the size of the bowl)
Spring Asparagus Soup
- 2 bunches of asparagus (about 4 cups when ends are trimmed off)
- 6 cups water
- 1/2 onion, cut into 1" wedges
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 6-7 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 3-4 sprigs of parsley
- 10 whole peppercorns
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup spring onions, white and light green parts, sliced (about 4 large onions)
- 1 cup yellow onion, sliced (about 1/2 onion)
- 1 cup sliced leeks
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 3/4 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 quart asparagus stock
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- splash of soy sauce or sriracha hot sauce
- Make the asparagus stock by bringing the water to a boil in a large pot. Break or cut off the bottom 3" of each asparagus stalk. Reserve the top half of the stalk for the soup. Put the bottom half of the stalk in the boiling water and add the next 6 ingredients. Simmer covered for 1 hour. Strain and set aside the stock.
- Melt the butter and oil together in a dutch oven or large pot over medium-low heat. Slice the asparagus into 2" pieces, which should amount to about 4 cups. Throw them into the dutch oven along with the leeks, spring onions, yellow onion, garlic, herbs and spices. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low and sweat at a very low simmer for about 30 minutes or until the asparagus is very soft.
- Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-low and add half the wine. Reduce until the wine is completely gone. Add the rest of the wine and reduce again.
- Add the asparagus stock and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes. Puree in a blender or food processor and reheat over medium heat.
- Add the lime juice, a splash of soy or sriracha sauce, correct for seasoning.
- Serve hot with a warm goat cheese crouton in the middle. Since the crouton is already warm and the soup is hot, it can easily be stirred into the soup when it's eaten. The crouton will dissolve and flavor the soup with herbs and goat cheese.
Herbed Chevre Crouton
- 4 ounces chevre
- 2 tablespoons creme fraiche
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed herbs, minced (chives, thyme, basil, tarragon)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- Heat your oven to 350F. In a small bowl, mix the chevre, creme fraiche, garlic, salt and herbs together until smooth.
- Take a teaspoon of the cheese and form a small patty with your fingers about 1" in diameter. Dip it quickly in olive oil to coat both sides and then into the bread crumbs.
- Bake until soft, about 4-5 minutes. With a spatula, place a crouton in the middle of the bowl of soup and serve.

What better way to celebrate the country's first African American president than with a concert (or two) featuring the country's first authentic art music — Jazz! It's woven into the fabric of our culture like a colorful silk thread. Martin Luther King Jr. called it America's "triumphant music." Tonight, at the Kennedy Center in D.C., some of the greats of jazz, including Dave Brubeck, gathered to sing and celebrate. I put together a little collection of photos, posters and album covers. I LOVE the one of Josephine Baker. And the one of Ray Charles makes me smile. I saw him nearly 20 years ago at the Ventura Theatre, complete with the Rayettes donning sunglasses. So much cool.

Surprisingly, I have a lot of people ask me if I photograph portraits. And the answer is a resounding yes, yes and more YES! Portraits are so special to me - there's nothing better than being able to get to know somebody, have a great connection with them, and make an image that captures their real personality. I'm not kidding when I say I live for that. It's one of the main reasons I love being a photographer.
Portrait photography is particularly meaningful because not only does it capture YOU, it captures place, too. Take a moment - look around you and say, "Look at where we live!" We've got beautiful, natural backdrops in abundance, and I thrive on being able to photograph people in places they love, whether that's in the great outdoors or in their home.
Pulling from my background as a photojournalist, I am always looking for real moments within my portraiture - those laughs, that crinkle of the nose, your soft smile. That's what makes me tick. My style is definitely more of the documentary and lifestyle feel - capturing life as it happens, focusing on those vivid, real moments - because that's where the magic happens.
So, if you find yourself dreaming of someone capturing your real smile (not that forced one that a lot of us make - myself included!), and would like to meet with me, please send me a note. I'm more than happy to meet with you in my sweet little home-studio in Missoula, over the phone, or via the magic of the Internet.
If you'd like to check out recent portrait blog posts in full, pop on over to the Kristine Paulsen Photography blog to see the wonderful people with whom I've had the opportunity to work. You'll find "just because" photos here, fun family pictures here, sweet children's portraits here, and senior pictures here. Enjoy!

The ceremony was performed with Vedic rites and elation. Swamishri then blessed the assembly, saying, "...whatever we do for such religious activities will bear fruits. Your life is crowned with kalashas through your contribution and cooperation for this occasion..."
Finally the murti of Harikrishna Maharaj was honored by the devotees.

A sadhu, with reference to the program, said to Swamishri, "The presentation of the kawali was very good."
"The drama (Ten Fools) was also well enacted," another sadhu added.
"Swamishri, you were not looking. You were engaged in letter-writing," a sadhu said.
"I saw it all. I was looking at it while writing letters. It is your ignorance that you were unable to understand this," Swamishri replied.
" Because you were writing letters this thought came to me," the sadhu hesitantly said.
"Did I not talk about the kawali and drama in my discourse," Swamishri responded. And then added, "If one perceives with the eye of knowledge and one's atma, then no such questions will arise as to whether he has seen it or not. He sees all."
Like Bhagatji Maharaj who said, "A gnani (one who has realised knowledge) has infinite eyes." Swamishri sees everything even though he may not seem so.

"It will be done. Since he was born in your home, he will be redeemed," Swamishri assured.
Then Kanubhai expressed his frustration, "This son of mine is like Jad Bharat."
"That's good. You can worship God without any hassle," Swamishri replied.
"But what will happen to him when my wife and I die?" Kanubhai asked.
"You should not think of that. God is looking after him now and will care for him afterwards. It is He who looks after everyone."
Swamishri reassured the devotee that God is the sustainer of all life.

Ben & Jerry's are known for their unique ice cream flavors, which usually tie into celebrities, like the new Jeremy Lin flavor, "Linsanity." However, the ice-cream, which features bits of fortune cookies, was deemed racially offensive.
The company issued a statement on behalf of the gaffe, stating: "We offer a heartfelt apology if anyone was offended by our handmade Lin-Sanity flavor," Ben & Jerry's said in a statement. "We are proud and honored to have Jeremy Lin hail from one of our fine, local universities and we are huge sports fans. Our intention was to create a flavor to honor Jeremy Lin's accomplishments and his meteoric rise in the NBA, and recognize that he was a local Harvard graduate. We try (to) demonstrate our commitment as a Boston-based, valued-led business and if we failed in this instance we offer our sincere apologies."

Four Seasons Kid's Club Booklet
Family is a large part of the Maven culture, with many of us being proud parents. So when Four Seasons Resort Seychelles tasked us with creating a booklet for their kid's club we saw it as a great opportunity to get into the minds of our little counterparts.
The Four Seasons 'Pti Torti Kids's Club' lets kids discover the secrets of the island through fun activities and games. From indoor educational activities to outdoor ones like 'Crab Hunting' and roasting marshmallows by a campfire little kiddies will enjoy endless entertainment.
Obviously we couldn't embark on this project without sampling the kid's activities first hand. Only kidding - we'll leave that to the kids!
Our task was to create a captivating and engaging booklet that would promote the club to parents and kids alike. We created a series of original illustrations, each hand drawn with the aim of being fun and vibrant. The illustrations were then used to put together the final design for the booklet and sent off to our production team for printing.
You can see our original, hand drawn illustrations below:
And the final product:

Will the internet free motion pictures from the old ways of telling stories?
By Ted Hope
By Randy Finch
In 1958 the most influential film critic of his day, André Bazin, wrote that the 19th century invention of photography had brought with it "a great spiritual and technical crisis" that profoundly affected other arts – in particular painting.
After the invention of the camera, the burden of what Bazin called "duplicating the world outside" was snatched away from painters and handed to photographers.
Here's how Bazin describes what happened next: Photography "freed Western painting, once and for all, from its obsession with realism."
In other words, André Bazin argued that modern painting – with its emphasis on abstraction – would not have existed without photography.
While some painters saw opportunity and pursued non- representational art in the late 1800s, many Old World painters were not happy. Similarly, these days many established professionals are not happy that their accustomed role in motion picture storytelling is being usurped by cellphone-wielding "amateurs."
But (then as now) the Old Guard's contempt has never stopped tech- savvy entrepreneurs from coming up with better ways to serve fundamental human needs (like storytelling)…
We'll never know what André Bazin would have made of the spiritual and technical crisis that the internet has caused in the early years of the 21st century. André Bazin died in late 1958, when he was just 40 years old. But undeniably the 20th century's dominant art forms – including filmmaking – are undergoing a significant disruption: A disruption that mirrors the changes that photography forced on traditional realistic painting 150 years ago.
In the early 1800s, before the invention of photography, painters were the acknowledged masters of accurate representation. For centuries, painters had served a special role in the culture. That role ended abruptly when the photograph and photographers arrived. As Bazin observed (writing 100 years after the fact), the change in the role that
painters served came with fundamental changes to the aesthetic goals of painting. For example, because photography in the 19th century lacked color, pioneering Impressionist painters emphasized the role of color in their art.
Cameras, utilizing "automatic means," were the disruptive technology of 150 years ago. Today the internet and affordable digital tools are replacing the old systems for producing and distributing motion pictures. As everyone knows, the internet has already disrupted the business models and forced changes to the aesthetics of newspapers and music. And, just as photography created new revenue streams in the 19th century (e.g., photography shops sprang up to serve common people, who could never own a painted portrait), the new digital tools are in the process of creating new revenue streams for motion pictures. (With all the lamentation about motion picture revenue lost to "piracy" – has anyone tallied up how many billions will be spent worldwide in the next few years on devices and mobile plans for viewing online video?) Most importantly, when the human impulse toward a "likeness of the real" became readily available to a mass audience 150 years ago through photographs, the aesthetics of Old World painting changed. Does the advent of the internet hold a similar promise for a new aesthetics of motion pictures?
How will motion pictures change when motion picture narrative is freed from delivering content that the web does better? Are there elements of storytelling (e.g., exposition? back story?) that might be better delivered on a second screen or via hypertext? If traditional movies are not as immersive as some interactive web-experiences, or there are elements of popular storytelling that the web does better, how will traditional movies evolve? Will the hero's pearl–handled pistols remain unexplained in a New World Hollywood film – with some fans seeking and finding the story of the pistols online? Will Hollywood motion pictures continue to emphasize big-budget spectacle (something that democratized online filmmaking doesn't currently offer) or will other aesthetic goals emerge that reinvigorate Old World film production?
Traditional portrait painters didn't give up without a fight and the transition to a new way of motion pictures won't be easy either. Old World movies will survive; after all, it's still possible to get a realistic
portrait painted today. But, as Bazin notes, photography narrowed the psychological and cultural reasons for having a portrait painted. The reasons for commissioning and sitting for a painter today (ostentatious show? self-indulgence? vanity?) are not entirely the same as they were before photography. Which begs the question: What kind of filmmakers will continue to make films in the Old World Hollywood model, once democratized filmmaking is the dominant form?
Just as some painters advanced their art after photography, the redefinition of filmmaking in a digitally networked world comes with opportunity. Some pioneering painters seized the moment in the 19th century: Who are the young filmmakers today who will be remembered tomorrow for their innovative contributions to the aesthetics of modern filmmaking?
150 years after photography changed painting forever, we are living through another democratization of representational art. To paraphrase André Bazin, the aesthetics of Hollywood films and TV shows must change as the internet replaces some of their function. The question all filmmakers should be asking: How will the internet free motion pictures from their obsession with the old ways of telling stories?
Randy Finch has produced movies (e.g., OUTSIDE PROVIDENCE and THE SUBSTANCE OF FIRE) and plays (e.g., work at Lincoln Center in NY and the Kennedy Center in Washington DC). Mr. Finch has also contributed to online storytelling experiences (e.g.,plantcitystories.com and miraclemileparadox.com). Mr. Finch's first film, MILES FROM HOME, premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. Mr. Finch currently teaches New World filmmaking at the University of Central Florida.

Today Chevron entered into a memorandum of understanding with Argentinian oil and gas company YPF that paves the way for the companies to form a joint venture to explore Argentina's promising shale formations.
Argentina, which has been stuck paying $10 per mcf for gas exports from Chile or via LNG, desperately wants skilled partners like Chevron to help tap its domestic riches and lower its energy bills.
Argentina's Vaca Muerta shale formation in the south of the country is said to contain more than 20 billion barrels of oil and gas equivalents.
It was Repsol's foot-dragging on drilling Argentina's shale prospects that led President Cristina Kirchner earlier this year to expropriate 51% of Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales from Spain-based Repsol and another private shareholder.
After the move by Kirchner it was thought that international oil companies would shut the door on Argentina. Why even consider investing in a country with a track record of confiscating assets?
But Chevron thinks Kirchner needs American capital and especially shale-drilling know-how badly enough that the terms of any investment it makes there will be secure. It's not alone: ExxonMobil and Apache Corp. are also pursuing deals with YPF.
Chevron already operates a couple of conventional oil and gas projects in Argentina, but its newly broadened ambitions there have a distinct regional significance.
Consider this a nose-thumbing in the direction of Brazil.
Late last year Chevron and deepwater driller Transocean incurred a relatively minor spill of a couple thousand barrels of oil-laced drilling mud at the Frade prospect they were drilling off the coast of Brazil. The leak was stopped, the mess was cleaned up and no gunk floated ashore. But Brazilian authorities wasted no time in threatening Chevron with more than $10 billion in fines.
Two days ago Brazil's supreme court upheld a ruling barring Chevron and Transocean from operating there at all. The companies are appealing the ruling. But if their case is rejected it will force Transocean to halt work on 10 wells it is drilling with Petrobras. What's more, it would likely lead Chevron to sell off much of its position in Brazil, robbing the country of the skills and know-how of Chevron's top-notch engineers.

You rush a miracle worker, you get lousy miracles!Jim Butcher
I'm a very talented person, I know that. I'm a very gifted person. I have a lot of imagination. I work hard. I feel I have the attributes within myself to have achieved what I have done. There has been no luck, no miracles. The only miracle has been this voice.Sarah Brightman
Each moment of worry, anxiety or stress represents lack of faith in miracles, for they never cease.T.F. Hodge

Where there is great love there are always miracles.Willa Sibert Cather
God is not creative, for God is not. But God as made by man reflects what man is, unbeknownst to himself. God is said to have made the world of concern to us out of nothing; so man makes something, God, out of nothing. The faith in God and the belief in miracles are closer to the truth than any scientific explanation, which has to overlook or explain away the creative in man.Allan David Bloom
In Israel, in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.David Ben Gurion

Most efficient combined-cycle power plant: GE breaks Guinness World Records record (VIDEO)
BOUCHAIN, France--GE (NYSE: GE) and EDF officially began operation of the first ever combined-cycle power plant equipped with GE's HA turbine in Bouchain, France, launching a new era of power generation technology and digital integration; GE also announced that the company has been recognized for powering the world's most efficient combined-cycle power plant based on an achieved efficiency rate of up to 62.22% at the Bouchain plant, according to the World Record Academy.
Photo: GE and EDF have achieved the extraordinary - world's most efficient gas power plant, capable of achieving 605MW of output at 62.22% efficiency. Enough to power the equivalent of more than 680,000 French homes. Photo: GE (enlarge photo)
The Guinness World Records world record for the Continuous power plant operation was set by Stanwell Corporation's Unit 4 at the Stanwell Power Station, Queensland, Australia, which operated continuously from 8 September 1999 to 16 August 2002. This gives a total continuous operation time of 1073 days 1 hour.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most efficient combined cycle power plant; it achieved 62.22% efficiency, powered by General Electric (USA) and operated in Bouchain, France, as verified by Bureau Veritas on 28 April 2016.e
In addition to achieving unprecedented levels of efficiency, GE's HA gas turbine delivers more flexibility than ever before, capable of reaching full power in less than 30 minutes.
This helps pave the way for greater use of renewable energy by allowing partners to respond quickly to fluctuations in grid demand, integrate renewables onto the grid and adapt quickly to weather changes.
These advances support the recent Paris COP21 agreement, where 195 countries pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, placing more emphasis on cleaner electric power opportunities.
By commissioning this new generation thermal plant, EDF demonstrates its intent to apply the best available technologies on the market to make its French thermal power plants more energy efficient while supporting the energy transition," said
Jean-Bernard Lévy, CEO of EDF. "This also confirms EDF's innovation pledge under the CAP 2030 program."
With a generating capability of more than 605 MW, the Bouchain plant will generate the equivalent power needed to supply more than 680,000 homes. In addition, the HA compressor flows air at a rate that could pump up the Goodyear blimp in 10 seconds, and the tip of the last blade in the 9HA.01 moves at 1200 mph/1931 kph -- 1.5 times the speed of sound.
"Today is an important milestone in our industry, one that would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the many GE and EDF employees across the world who are committed to a future of increased energy efficiency," said
Joe Mastrangelo, president and CEO of Gas Power Systems for GE Power.
"By tapping into the broader GE Store, we are able to collaborate on these initiatives and bring together the right hardware and software tools, as well as people to deliver these results."

UNIONS representing 1.3 million local government workers – GMB, UNISON and Unite – have agreed to escalate their pay dispute with a campaign running into the autumn.
The unions agreed their members will run a co-ordinated strike by their local government and school members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland on Tuesday, October 14.
The strike will be just a few days before the TUC-organised national demonstration on October 18 calling for 'decent' pay.
Local government workers' pay has been frozen for three years. They have now been offered one per cent. They say their pay has reduced in value by 20 per cent since 2010 and this resulted in a one day strike on July 10.
No further talks have taken place since that date, despite the unions offering to go to the Government's arbitration and conciliation service.
Brian Strutton, GMB National Secretary for Public Services, said: "Our members in GMB, UNISON and Unite expect us to maximise our joint effectiveness and that's why we are announcing the next strike together.
"Our members deserve a fair pay deal... council leaders should reconsider."

The Tuscaloosa News is reporting that Alabama has placed an assistant strength and conditioning coach on administrative leave for lending money to suspended defensive back Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.
Clinton-Dix was suspended indefinitely by the coach Nick Saban on Wednesday for violating unspecified team rules, but no other details were released.
The Tuscaloosa News, citing unidentified sources, reported Thursday that Corey Harris was put on administrative leave. The newspaper said that while the Alabama compliance office was looking into the loan of less than $500 that Harris made to Clinton-Dix it found that Harris also had a connection to a sports agent. The loan could violate NCAA rules about student-athletes receiving extra benefits.
Alabama athletic department spokesman Doug Walker said he could not comment on personnel matters.

Mission After Christendom
Full Product Description
In 1910 Protestant missionaries from around the world gathered to explore the role of Christian missions in the twentieth century. In this collection, leading missiologists use the one hundred year anniversary of the Edinburgh conference as an occasion to reflect on the practice of Christian mission in today's context: a context marked by globalization, migration, ecological crisis, and religiously motivated violence. The contributors explore the meaning of Christian mission, the contemporary context for mission work, and new forms in which the church has engaged-and should engage-in its missionary task. From these essays, a vision of twenty-first-century mission begins to emerge-one that is aware of issues of race, gender, border spaces, migration, and ecology. This renewed vision gives strength to the future of shared Christian ministry across nations and traditions.
Mission After Christendom was published by Westminster John Knox in April 2010 and is our 48621st best seller. The ISBN for Mission After Christendom is 9780664234652.

Customer reviews and testimonials Write a review
Mission After ChristendomJim Currin, via The Good Book Stall
Mission after Christendom provides a very illuminating update on mission theology and praxis a centenary on from the 1910 World Missionary Conference. Here is a collection of essays looking at mission now being 'bottom up' and about 'dialogue', and 'from everywhere to everywhere', with such contemporary topics considered as globalisation, the environment and migration. This is more than welcome. It is a valuable contribution to the study of mission and world Christianity today. The contributors come from a wide academic spectrum and the topics tackled are from a practical as well as theological and biblical base - here is an insight into various parts of the world and the 'emergent themes in contemporary mission': it may be broad in its application, but important to address none the less.

Travel Guide North America USA Northeastern United States New York
© All Rights Reserved avene
New York State is a state in the northeast of the USA and was one of the original 13 Colonies. When most people talk about New York State they just say Upstate New York. Although people forget that Upstate New York is home to amazing national and state parks that are quite stunning. There is also good skiing and some neat towns upstate that get overshadowed by the Big Apple on the coast. The largest city is New York City.
New York covers 141,300 km2 and ranks as the 27th largest state by size. The Great Appalachian Valley dominates eastern New York, while Lake Champlain is the chief northern feature of the valley, which also includes the Hudson River flowing southward to the Atlantic Ocean. The rugged Adirondack Mountains, with vast tracts of wilderness, lie west of the valley. Most of the southern part of the state is on the Allegheny Plateau, which rises from the southeast to the Catskill Mountains. The highest elevation in New York is Mount Marcy in the Adirondacks. New York's borders touch two Great Lakes (Erie and Ontario); the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in Canada; Lake Champlain; three New England states (Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut); the Atlantic Ocean, and two Mid-Atlantic States, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In addition, Rhode Island shares a water border with New York.
In contrast with New York City's urban atmosphere, the vast majority of the state is dominated by farms, forests, rivers, mountains, and lakes. New York's Adirondack Park is the largest state park in the United States. The Hudson River begins at Lake Tear of the Clouds and flows south through the eastern part of the state without draining Lakes George or Champlain. Upstate and downstate are often used informally to distinguish New York City or its greater metropolitan area from the rest of New York State. The placement of a boundary between the two is a matter of great contention. Unofficial and loosely defined regions of Upstate New York include the Southern Tier, which often includes the counties along the border with Pennsylvania, and the North Country, which can mean anything from the strip along the Canadian border to everything north of the Mohawk River.
New York, New York, the city so great they named it twice, goes by many other names as well such as The Big Apple and The City That Never Sleeps. Probably most interesting to the traveller is the unofficial declaration of being the "world's capital."

The Adirondacks refers to the park and mountains located in this area. The Adirondack Park is both the largest and the first government-protected park in the contiguous United States. It covers a vast expanse - bigger than New Hampshire - of rugged, thickly wooded, mountainous terrain in northeast New York State. The Adirondacks are a popular destination for all lovers of outdoor activities, from hiking and skiing to ice and rock climbing.
The Niagara Falls are one of the most impressive waterfalls in the world. And although the Canadian side has been developed into a big tourist attraction, the falls haven't lost any of their appeal.

One the most famous statues in the world is the statue of liberty. It's not only an icon for New York but also for the entire country. The statue was a gift of the French people to celibrate the centennial of the Independence of the United States. The statue was constructed in France, and after completion shipped to the USA, where it was stored for 11 months, to await the completion of the pedestal, the 46-metre-high statue could finally be unveiled in November 1886.
Liberty Island was closed after the attacks of 9-11, and only reopened in 2004. The crown can be visited again since July 2009, but only by a few people a day. Two smaller statues predates the statue that is placed in New York. One stands in Paris in the Jardin de Luxembourg, and a second stands in front of the city hall in Maceió, in Brazil. After the success of these statues, it was decided to go huge. Nowadays there are several copies of the statue of liberty to be found all over the world.
In general, New York has a humid continental climate, though New York City has a humid subtropical climate. Weather in New York is heavily influenced by two continental air masses: a warm, humid one from the southwest and a cold, dry one from the northwest. The winters are long and cold in the Plateau Divisions of the state. In the majority of winter seasons, a temperature of -25 °C or lower can be expected in the northern highlands (Northern Plateau) and -15 °C or colder in the southwestern and east-central highlands (Southern Plateau). The summer climate is cool in the Adirondacks, Catskills and higher elevations of the Southern Plateau. The New York City/Long Island area and lower portions of the Hudson Valley have rather warm summers by comparison, with some periods of high, uncomfortable humidity. The remainder of New York State enjoys pleasantly warm summers, marred by only occasional, brief intervals of sultry conditions. Summer daytime temperatures usually range from 25 °C to 30 °C, over much of the state and between 15 °C and 20 °C at night. Precipitation is quite evenly distributed throughout the year, with sometimes very heavy snowfall in winter. During summer, heavy showers can occur, especially after periods of hot weather.
The two main airports in NY city are also the most important ones for the state:
Most trains to and from New York State originate and terminate in New York City. Services will arrive at Pennsylvania Station, located at 7th Avenue and 34th Street. There are easy connections from Pennsylvania station to the subway network of the city. From Pennsylvania Station, Amtrak runs a number of services, including the Acela trainconnecting Washington, D.C. to Boston. Other trains include:
Some train service (mostly from northern suburbs and Connecticut) will arrive at Grand Central Terminal.
Many bus companies offer services to neighbouring states.
Many cruise ships call at New York's ports from far and wide. The last of the major ocean liners, Cunard's Queen Mary 2, continues to uphold the century-old traditions of the Titanic era with scheduled liner service from Southampton UK to New York City.
Several trains travel from New York City across the state. These include:
Many international rental companies have a wide selection of rental cars and these include Hertz, Avis, Dollar, Thrifty, Enterprise, Budget and Alamo/National. Most companies will require you are at least 25 years of age, although younger people might be able to rent cars at slightly higher rates and with some insurance differences as well. A national driver's license is usually enough, but an additional international one is recommended. Also note that it usually costs more to include lots of other extra things. For example extra drivers, GPS, the first full tank, SLI (Supplemental Liability Insurance), PAI (Personal Accident Insurance, usually covered already at home), road assistance/service plan, and drop-off costs for one-way rentals.
If you want to book a car, it is recommended that you book your car before arriving in the USA. This is almost always (much) cheaper compared to just showing up. Also, try and book with a so-called 'broker', which usually works together with a few or many car rental companies and can offer the best deal. Some examples include Holidayautos, Holidaycars and Sunny Cars. Some of the cheapest deals to book from Europe, includes Drive-USA, which also has a German version.
For more information and tips about renting cars and campers, additional costs, insurance, traffic rules, scenic routes and getting maps and fuel it is advised to check the USA Getting Around section.
New York has a number of National Scenic Byways which offer a great way to explore the state crossing beautiful landscapes. Mostly, there are lots of national parks, state parks or monuments along the way and it's generally a better alternative than the faster but boring Interstate Highways.
Every year thousands of travelers (both in-state and out) take to the New York State Canal System to spend hours, days, or even weeks cruising the placid waters and visiting a variety of villages and cities along the way. The crown jewel of the canal system is the famous Erie Canal, in operation for nearly two centuries. The Erie runs from Buffalo all the way to the Hudson River at Albany, but there are several smaller canals that connect the Erie to other waterways: the Cayuga-Seneca Canal to the Finger Lakes, the Oswego Canal to Lake Ontario, and the Champlain Canal to Lake Champlain. This extensive network means you can, in theory, see the six biggest cities in the state all without leaving your boat.
New York's diversity is on full display when considering its cuisines. New York City, of course, as the point of arrival for so many immigrants, is home to some of the most authentic and most diverse ethnic cuisines in the country. Even upstate, though, in cities not known for their diversity, you can find plenty of variety.
American cuisine is ubiquitous, of course, except perhaps in areas of New York City like Chinatown and Little Italy. Italian food (much of it Americanized, admittedly) is also found throughout the state. Asian cuisines—mostly Chinese and Japanese, but with some Thai and Indian restaurants in the larger cities—are also common. Greek food is readily available, primarily at family restaurants that also serve plenty of American food and a smattering of Italian. Polish specialties can be found in Buffalo, and the North Country has some French-Canadian influence in its cuisine.
Notably, each of the upstate cities seems to have its own unique home-grown dishes. Buffalo is famous for its chicken wings, of course, but also features "beef on weck". Rochester is home to "white hots" and the late-night favorite "garbage plates". Syracuse has salt potatoes, the Utica-Rome area has its "chicken riggies", "spiedies" originated in Binghamton, and Plattsburgh residents favor "Michigan" hot dogs. While perhaps not as famous as Philadelphia's cheese steaks, most of these local favorites are worth trying, if only to get a taste of the local "flavor".
From the Finger Lakes region all the way up to the North Country, Amish and Mennonite communities contribute fresh vegetables, fruits, and baked goods that are often found at road-side farm stands or at farmers markets. And New York City is well-known for New York-style pizza, pastrami, bagels, pretzels, cheesecake, danishes and black & whites, among other local specialties.
Many visitors don't realize that New York still has a very large agriculture industry. The state is one of the top American producers of apples, grapes, milk, sweet corn, and maple syrup. To highlight New York-grown food and drink, the state has begun opening Taste NY stores in several service areas along the Thruway. There are also stores at JFK and LaGuardia airports and Grand Central Terminal in New York City and farmers' markets throughout the state, including a large one thrice weekly at Union Square in Manhattan.
New York is the second-biggest wine-producing state in the country, though a distant second to California. The Finger Lakes are the largest wine country in the state, and there is also a substantial wine industry in Peconic, which consists of the forks of Long Island and adjacent countryside on the eastern end of Suffolk County. The oldest wine-growing area is the Hudson Valley, which still has some wineries.
There are also quite a few brewers in the state, including Ommegang, a brewery in Cooperstown that produces an excellent Belgian-style ale, and Brooklyn Brewery, which produces a solid lager.
Whiskey is also produced in New York. Baiting Hollow on Long Island produces an excellent whiskey and Hudson's, in the Hudson Valley, produces excellent though pricey whiskey and rye.
As a major apple-growing state, New York also produces both unfermented and hard ciders, but probably the best place to get those is either fresh at an apple orchard or at a bar that concentrates on hard cider.
Compared to some of its neighboring states, New York has fairly loose liquor laws. The drinking age is 21, the same as every other state. Minors may not sell alcohol in liquor stores nor loiter in them, even when accompanied by an adult. Beer and other beverages with a low alcohol content can be found in supermarkets, drugstores and convenience stores, along with (since 2010) some wines, while hard liquor and most wine can be sold only in liquor stores. Liquor stores, by law, are not allowed to sell beer. They are also not allowed to take returns, so all sales are final.
There are dozens of hotel and motel chains, ranging from budget to top end. Allthough they are not the most charming accommodations, they usually have a very decent midrange service with good rooms and are generally good value. At least you know what to expect and in some cases they are either the only or the best option in the area. Some of them include:
as well as Lavafalls (6%), Peter (3%), Hien (<1%), Scott O (<1%)

Few will deny that college is a time of personal growth and self- discovery. During this brief window of opportunity, our constant exposure to new people, beliefs, and viewpoints allows us to get a better idea of not only who we are, but also who we want to be. Not surprisingly, the road to personal enlightenment is fraught with countless lessons along the way, all of which are necessary, but some of which can really suck.
For that reason, I have compiled my personal list of The Ten Most Important Things I Learned In College, in hopes that all the knowledge I've gained in the past five years can in some way help you navigate these turbulent, unpredictable waters that everyone keeps referring to as "the best years of your life."
1.) You Get What You Work For: As a freshman, I, like many others, was under the impression that getting violently intoxicated in strangers' basements and skipping all my morning and Friday classes was the road to unadulterated success. True enough, this route called for rough mornings, but I figured if Van Wilder could do it, certainly I could too. Well, I had a very rude awakening at the beginning of my junior year when I sat down to draft my resume' and realized I was hardly qualified to wipe the dog crap off of the bottom of my own shoe. Though I have feverishly managed to bolster my personal qualifications since then, I still make a point to never forget what this experience taught me–nothing worthwhile in life "just happens." Successful people are successful because they work to be so; and this means pulling all nighters to cram for exams, attending class even when you don't want to, and actually staying conscious once you get to said class. I'm not saying that you can't have any fun–just remember that attending college is a privilege, and these four years are meant as a transition into adult life, where two-story beer bongs in the early afternoon are frowned upon.
2.) Don't Judge Yourself Based off Your Peers: Admittedly, this is easier said than done, but if you don't want to spend every waking moment of your day pulling out your hair, you simply cannot live in the shadows of others. There are always going to be people who are smarter, better looking, more well- liked, and in general, "better" than you. As a matter of fact, with time you will likely realize that there are droves of individuals around you who fit this description. If you want to be happy, you'll need to learn to accept yourself for who you are, shortcomings included. No matter how awful things get, we always have the choice to be happy; it's one of the joys of being human. That, and roasted red-pepper hummus; that [expletive] is golden.
3.) Change Is Inevitable: To many, this is often one of the most difficult aspects of life to stomach. Though we would all like to imagine that our "glory days" will last forever, I can assure you they will not, and honestly you probably won't even realize they were your "glory days" until long after they've passed (::cough:: COLLEGE ::cough::). Family members die, people who were once your best friends will become mere acquaintances, and your beliefs, goals, and viewpoints will probably change dozens, if not hundreds of times. People will hurt you, you will hurt other people, and eventually, they'll stop making that body spray you love and you'll need to switch brands. It is an unavoidable cycle, and it is part of growing-up that everyone must go through. That being said, do not fear change, but instead embrace it; don't cling to the good things, and don't despair for the bad things. You will never know what you are passionate about if you are not willing to step out of your comfort zone, and though this can sometimes be scary, more often than not the risk is worth the reward. Either way, I can promise you one thing–upon graduating, you will be a completely different person than you were at the beginning of your college career.
4.) Help Others, Even Strangers: I know what you're thinking– 'Why should I stick my neck out for strangers who probably wouldn't do the same as me' Well, to some extent this is solid reasoning, but this is also the mindset that has sparked wars, incited genocide, and allowed for Scar to kill Mufasa and rule the Pridelands. Honestly, helping others does as much for you as an individual as it does for the people you are helping; when we lend a hand to others, other's will be more inclined to help out when you're in need, and I promise at some point you will be. In a society fraught with economic crises, a crippled job market, and Miley Cyrus, many labor under the impression that if they keep to themselves and keep their heads down, they can effectively avoid conflict. And maybe, for a little while, they will. You cannot however, simply overlook the fact that we are all human, and for the most part, we all want the same things out of life, regardless of background or upbringing. So do whatever you can each day: hold the door open for the pretty girl walking behind you, pay for a strangers coffee, or walk your friend home if they've spent a little too much time at Buffy's. In the words of Anne Frank, "No one has ever become poor by giving."
5.) Don't Take Part In Strenuous Activity Within 45 Minutes Of Eating At Debot: I feel like I really don't need to go into detail with this one, and quite frankly, I really would prefer not to. Just take my word for it; bad things will happen.?

The Lubbock County medical examiner is working to identify the three people killed in a fiery Monday morning crash on U.S. 87 about 10 miles south of Lubbock.
A tractor trailer and van collided at about 3:30 a.m., near the intersection of U.S. Highway 87 and FM 41, killing three in the van, according to a news release from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The van was traveling west when it pulled in front of the truck, according to the DPS. The truck was filled with flammable liquid and caught on fire.
Woodrow volunteer firefighters battled the blaze all morning. The fire was extinguished, according to a DPS statement released about noon.
The truck driver was airlifted to an area hospital, the DPS said.
The crash caused significant damage to the roadway, and Texas Department of Transportation crews will begin repairs when the vehicles are removed from the incident.
North- and southbound traffic lanes on U.S. 87 between 194th and 210th streets have been closed to traffic as Texas Department of Transportation crews to safely makes repairs to a segment of the roadway damaged by the burning truck.
Dianah Ascencio, Lubbock TxDOT spokeswoman, said work started at about 4 p.m. and would take about four hours to complete.
"As soon as work is complete, our plan is to get traffic back on U.S. 87," she said.
Southbound U.S. 87 traffic was detoured around the area via FM 41. Traffic will be directed west to southbound Slide Road to connect with FM 211 and then back east to reconnect with U.S. 87. Northbound U.S. 87 traffic was detoured at FM 211 to Slide Road.

However, things got interesting when Gallon of Milk was spotted with a calf. The whale has now become a mother to another albino whale. This is a highly rare occurrence on land and even more so in the sea.
The albino gene is a recessive gene, and it needs the gene to come from both parents for it to manifest. This situation makes it even harder to occur. Scientists are even more surprising that the calf is albinism with such odds at play.
"In the recent sighting, this time in the area known as Alhambra Island in the Ojo de Liebre Lagoon, Gallon of Milk was accompanied by a calf that was completely gray, which must mean she has become a mother for the first time." Said a report from the Commission on Natural Protected Areas. "The bright white whale's condition albinism makes her of a particular kind since the gene mutation that leads to a sharp decrease in the pigment melanin or the lack of it is barely recorded among marine mammals."
Color is usually a big adaptation feature in many animals as they need to merge with the environment to avoid predators. But with the whale having few known predators, scientists believe it will be okay and the calf will live to see adulthood.

The damage is reparable and I have learned some valuable lessons.
Those at that income level must ask themselves how much is it worth to make sure our children grow up in a community that values them and ensures that they are not excluded from a healthy future because they were born with a congenital, but reparable heart defect, or type 1 diabetes.
Maybe not the women (those characters need some major work to bring them into the twenty-first century), but the racism – while not excusable – is certainly reparable without much effort at all.

text: Not if the person is really thorough. But if all that's being done is something like SunOS nit is being used, there is a way: emit a packet addressed to an Ethernet address not in use on that segment, but with the suspect machine's IP address in the IP to-address field. Make it something you can count on to draw a reply, like an ICMP echo request ("ping"). Then if the interface is promiscuous, the packet will be picked up, the Ethernet code will blindly strip the Ethernet header and kick it upstairs to IP, which will obediently reply to you. Nope.

All Transition Metals :
are malleable and ductile
have high melting and boiling points
have high electrical conductivity By Kaumron Eidgahy, Kathy Daniels, Jordan Penn, and Ethan Chung The Periodic Table Background Info Transition Metals Halogens Rare Earth Metals Noble/Inert Gases Alkaline Earth Metal Family Elements:
Be (Beryllium)
Mg (Magnesium)
Ca (Calcium)
Sr (Strontium)
Ba (Barium)
Ra (Radium) Alkali Metal Family Elements:

At (Astatine) in 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist founded the Periodic Table when he arranged the elements in order of atomic mass he noticed a repeating pattern of similar properties All Rare Earth Metals :
are good conductors of electricity
have luster, but rust easily
are silver, silvery-white, or gray metals Characteristics: They are all shiny, relatively soft, and they are the highest reactive group of elements on the table. makes it easier for chemists to locate and understand elements the Periodic Table arranges the elements by common characteristics and behaviors they are arranged in rows (periods) and columns (groups/families) Real World Situations: 1. Lithium is what's inside your cellphone battery.
2. Potassium is found in your common banana.
3. Sodium mixed with hydroxide is used for soap making. 3 uses of Rare Earth Metals :
television & computer screens
hybrid cars
cellphones the Noble Gases are:
-He (Helium)
-Ne (Neon)
-Ar (Argon)
-Kr (Krypton)
-Xe (Xenon)
-Rn (Radon) characteristics that all Noble Gases have:
-are non-metals and,believe it or not, gases
- have 8 valence electrons, so they usually don't bond, which is why they are called the Inert Gases, this makes them more stable
-have very low energy and are bad conductors of electricity Characteristics: They are all are silver in color, they all are found in nature and that they all have 2 valence electrons. Real World Situations: 1. Magnesium is the third commonly used structural metal.
2. Barium added to firecrackers turns fireworks green.
3. Calcium is found in common milk. real world uses:
-helium is used to fill up balloons
-xenon has many uses from development in x-rays to plasma display panels
-radon is used in radiotherapy and can help arthritis Group 18 Dmitri Mendeleev Uses of Transition Metals :
some cosmetics All Halogens :
have low boiling and melting points
are poor conductors of electricity
are non-metals Uses of Halogens :
disinfectants Helium Balloon Group 1 Group 2 Group 3-12 Group 17 Lanthanoids
and Actinoids The Periodic Table tells the atomic number (number of protons/electrons), the atomic mass (average sum of protons and neutrons), and the number of valence electrons in the atom. ----> Periodic Patterns:
moving top to bottom
-atomic radius increases
-ionization energy increases
-electronegativity decreases
moving left to right
-atomic radius decreases
-ionization energy increases
-electronegativity increase

The X Factor season two winner Tate Stevens is going from one big TV show to another. The country singer will unveil a new track, "Holler If You're With Me," as part of a Pepsi clip to debut during the Grammys, with a full music video available online immediately afterward.
"When I won The X Factor, part of the deal was getting to do this video shoot with Pepsi and Syco Music/RCA Nashville. They've teamed up to do this video to get America the first look at me," Stevens told Rolling Stone when we visited him on set in a very windy Simi Valley, California. "The whole concept is just people getting together, having a big bonfire party. That's the idea – you're going to a Tate Stevens concert, or party, in the middle of nowhere."
'X Factor': Rolling Stone's Complete Coverage
To capture that feel, the producers brought in a hundred or so extras. Stevens used the crowd reactions to the song as a litmus test. "Of course the more they heard it the more they got involved, and they were singing along and stuff," he said of the track, which he described as "an anthem-y kind of thing."
Based on that response, he is excited about bringing the song to the stage: "It's definitely gonna be a lot of fun to throw down live."
While this will be the first taste of Stevens' music fans get post-X Factor, he is not ready to declare "Holler If You're With Me" his first single. Of four songs he says he's completed toward his debut album, one called "Ordinary Angels" is "probably a really strong candidate for a first single. It's got a great message behind it."
The singer is hard at work writing his debut album, release date TBD, and while there will be more rowdy party numbers like "Holler If You're With Me" he also says fans can expect a little bit of everything that falls under an increasingly wide country umbrella, ranging from George Jones to Kenny Chesney and Patsy Cline to Taylor Swift.
"I love George Jones' music, I love the traditional country music. But I also love Kenny, I like Jason Aldean – I like what they do. I like everything in between. You put your own thing to it and you bring the best of what you can do," he said. "That's what I'm gonna try to do. Hopefully it works. You can classify it however you want – it can be George Jones or Kenny Chesney, it's all country."
Yet as viewers saw on the show, on which Stevens performed two Bon Jovi numbers alongside tracks by Garth Brooks, among others, Stevens' own musical tastes are wide -anging. "I'm an Eighties hair band guy. If you go through my iPod when I'm running and working out and stuff, there's a lot of Metallica and Mötley Crüe, it's just loaded with Guns N' Roses. I love Boston, I love Journey, I love Foreigner, I love Queen, REO Speedwagon. I have a guilty pleasure of Air Supply – that's awesome music, it's amazing," he said. "In my live shows I do some Journey and some Foreigner just to be different. How many dudes in a cowboy hat are gonna sing 'Separate Ways'? I do in my show."
With his cross-section of tastes and a musical background (his father was a musician,) Stevens found a connection with his mentor on the show, L.A. Reid. "Working with L.A. was a blessing because he knows the business inside and out, which helped me because we had a lot of conversations about how things worked," he said. "And he was always very forward, a very straight-shooting guy, and super good to me."
Reid, however, is leaving the show, like Britney Spears, which will create two vacancies among the four on the judging panel. Stevens plans to be plenty busy with music, but if for some reason things don't work out, he has a fall-back plan in mind.
"I told L.A. if this whole singing thing didn't work for me, I would come back and take his place," he joked.

Michelle Obama's 'Let's Move' campaign was launched in hopes to eliminate childhood obesity. Childhood obesity actually affects one third of American children and at least $150 billion is spent every year to treat the condition and yet, the rate continues to grow.
Alarmingly, obesity rates have tripled in the past 30 years, which could mean that American children will have a shorter lifespan than their own parents! Such upsetting stats has moved Michelle Obama to create this 'Let's Move' crusade, which hopes to solve this epidemic.

text: Man first emerged from the depths of sea as a fish with fins-turned-shortened limbs that over hundreds of millions of years evolved into legs. From these humble ancestral origins emerged bipedalism, and in the blink of a cosmic eye, humans have gone from Stone Age hunters and gatherers to rulers of the planet. So it's with great interest that the NRC came across this new BBC video of a deep-water hunter of fish; it was filmed underwater in Bajau (southern Philippines) for the Human Planet series. In this segment, a local fisherman by the name of Sulbin freedives 20 meters to the sea floor to catch a fish. In fact, he's actually seen striding across the sea bottom, "as if he's hunting on land," in the words of the narrator. His underwater chase made us think of the Attenborough video of the Kalahari Bushman tracking and hunting down an antelope over eight hours. In that case, the land-based hunter ran his prey to death. With our fish-hunter, he doesn't have that luxury; he can only hold his breath for several minutes at that lung-crushing depth.

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 1 Hour
Servings: 4
Almonds and salmon go together perfectly!
Heat butter and 1/2 tablespoon of the oil together in a large skillet over low heat. Add chopped sweet onion, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and slightly caramelized, 30 to 45 minutes. Stir in lime juice and keep warm.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease the bottom of a baking dish with remaining 1 teaspoon oil; set aside.
Put almond meal on a large plate; set aside.
Season salmon with salt and pepper. Spread honey mustard over the top of each salmon fillet, then gently roll each in the almond meal, pressing to make sure it sticks. Arrange salmon in prepared baking dish in a single layer and bake until salmon is done to your liking, 15 to 25 minutes.
Transfer salmon to plates, top with caramelized onions, garnish with green onions, and serve.
