Toys Sales Peak at Festive Season
More than 60 percent of Europe's toys are sold during the festive period from November to December. Are you prepared?
Increased demand can exert commercial pressure to stock shelves and fulfill consumer aspirations, but parents are more aware than ever about toy safety and better informed about what to look for on a toy to guarantee its safety. Toy actors must ensure that their toys have appropriate labeling/warnings (CE mark, 0-3 years symbol), appropriate age grading, instructions, etc.
Education through EU Toy Safety Campaign
Educating industry and consumers alike, the European Commission, together with Toy Industries of Europe (TIE), has launched the European Toy Safety Information Campaign including a new video that offers consumers advice on how to buy safe toys and use them safely. The animated robot 'CE-e' draws attention to key safety tips (http://ec.europa.eu/
Moreover, a leaflet (http://ec.europa.eu/
Within the industry, this campaign aims to increase knowledge about the new Toy Safety Directive among toy manufacturers and other toy sector players (importers, distributors)
Increased Market Surveillance throughout Christmas Shopping Period
All toys manufactured for sale within the EU since July 2011 must comply with the requirements of the EU Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC)
The seasonal peak in toy sales combined with the strengthened requirements of the EU Toy Safety Directive mean that you may see market surveillance increased and reinforced in the coming months. Unsafe toys have the potential to damage a child's health. Counterfeit toys can damage your business. The festive season's sales peak simply increases the risk of unsafe or counterfeit products reaching the market.
To assist responsible manufacturers, importers and retailers, RAPEX (http://ec.europa.eu/

Trad fans turn to Mhuscrai fleadh cheoil
THE finishing touches are being put in place for this weekend's County Fleadh Cheoil - the first to be held in the Cork Gaeltacht.
Up to 6,000 performers and spectators are expected to flock to Baile Mhúirne for traditional music, dance, sean-nós and more events which begin this Thursday, May 9 and carry on throughout the weekend.
Seán Ó Muimhneacháin, cathaoirleach of the organising committee said the event is a huge boost for the area.
"We're finishing off the final jobs at the moment ... there's great excitement but we are a bit worried about the weather, so we'll hope for the best," he said, adding that thousands will come from across the country for the fleadh.
"There will be 1,000 competitors, so you can work it from there; each of those will bring family or friends and then there are the audiences that will come, too. I'd say we could be talking five or six thousand.
"It gives us all a boost, it gives the Gaeltacht a boost and it gives the Irish language a boost," he said.
Hosted by Craobh Lachtaín Naofa, the Cill na Martra branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, the fleadh began on a high note with an Oíche Ghaeltachta held last Friday as a curtain-raiser or 'Fáiltiú na Fleidhe'.
The cream of Gaeltacht talent was on show in the Abbey Hotel, including many exponents of the sean-nós singing for which the area is famous, as well as traditional music groups and young Irish dancers.
"It had over 100 participants, all from the Gaeltacht and it was of the highest standard. In this area we have artists of a very high standard that can compete with the best, and we're very proud of that," Seán said.
The organisers hope that this year's Fleadh Cheoil will have a distinctive feel, informed by its surroundings in the Cork Gaeltacht.
"We're hoping to speak as much Irish as we can, and our helpers will be speaking Irish too. We do understand that not everyone is fluent, so don't worry, we all understand English!" he said.

10 Best Japanese Movie Trailers
The 10 best Japanese movie trailers are perfect showcases for the demented and absurd genius of Japanese cinema. From severed heads to dancing zombies, you'll have a raucous time perusing the madness.
"Sukiyaki Western Django" It's difficult to accurately describe the madness that transpires in the best Japanese movie trailer, for Takashi Miike's "Sukiyaki Western Django." The trailer is narrated by Quentin Tarantino and features Japanese cowboys using all manner of weapons, from six shooters to machine guns, samurai swords, and crossbows, to destroy each other. 'Nuff said.
"Invasion of Astroman" The trailer of "Invasion of Astroman" begins with a slow motion shot of Godzilla, a giant mutated pterosaur (Rodan), and a colossal three-headed monster colliding. That alone is enough to make it one of the ten best Japanese movie trailers. It also features worried discussion about something called Planet X and maniacal villains. Can't go wrong with that.
"Samurai Assassin" Few trailers capture the mood of a film as well as that for "Samurai Assassin," one of the ten best Japanese movie trailers. The short clip is filled with flurries of snow, torrential rains, stark violence, derelict buildings, and evil scheming. It's all very bleak, but very captivating.
"The Happiness of the Katakuris" Judging the film's trailer, "Katakuris" is a family-oriented musical farce featuring graphic murders and reanimated dead. For those who don't speak Japanese, it's difficult to know just exactly what's going on, but it is a very glorious confusion indeed.
"Zebraman" "Zebraman" tells the tail of an introverted schoolteacher who dresses up as his favorite superhero in his spare time, only to be accidentally pitted against a real live alien invasion. The film's trailer, one of the ten best from Japan, is a tongue-in-cheek montage of guns, creatures, costumes, and surreal humor, all without subtitles, making it that much weirder.
"Battle Royale" "Battle Royale" is a film about a group of school children turned against one another in a bullet-riddled battle to the death. One of the best Japanese movie trailers, the chaotic clip transposes very dark humor (the teacher is heard to say "It's against the rules to kill me") with bombastic music and shots of children in school uniforms running amok with automatic weapons.
"Tokyo Gore Police" As is implied by the film's title, the trailer for "Tokyo Gore Police" is not for the faint of heart. For splatter aficionados, it's a veritable masterpiece, a two-minute orgy of raining blood (literally), arterial spray, gaping wounds, flying body parts, melting flesh, sword-wielding school girls, and severed heads. It's all extremely graphic, disturbing, and hilarious.
"My Neighbor Totoro" "Totoro" is one of many masterpieces from Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki. The film's trailer is a must-see for its alarming admixture of creepy 80's music, laughing children, and gigantic creatures.
"Seven Samurai" The trailer for Akira Kurosawa's epic "Seven Samurai" is rife with heroic imagery, triumphant music, and the maniacal laughter of star Toshiro Mifune. At over three minutes, the trailer is nearly as bombastic as the film itself. There are burning buildings, flying arrows, galloping horses, collapsing bodies, and cascading rains.
"Gojira" "Gorjira" is the original Godzilla film and it boasts one of the ten best Japanese movie trailers. The short clip is filled with action, drama, and the titular monster, though is also interesting from a film history perspective, as it the film, and it's trailer, serve as a bridge between more artistic fare like "Seven Samurai" and the absurd kitsch of "Invasion of Astroman."

Dilli ka thug dupes aspiring models of Rs 3.5 lakh
Lokesh Kumar made a fake page on Facebook to lure his victims by dangling the carrot of well-paid assignments; he would ask the victims to deposit Rs 10,000 to execute a modelling contract
Seven months of hard work paid off for the officers from Cyber police station, BKC, after they nabbed a Delhi-based conman for duping aspiring models from across the country to the tune of Rs 3.5 lakh.
Lokesh Kumar
The accused, Lokesh Kumar (25), a resident of Ambedkar Nagar in South Delhi, used Facebook to lure his victims by promising them big-ticket modelling assignments across India.
An HSC dropout, Kumar was arrested last weekend based on the complaint filed by one of his victims last September.
He was booked under Sections 420 (cheating) of the IPC and Section 66D (cheating by personation by using computer resource) of Information Technology Act. He was produced in the court yesterday and has been remanded in police custody.
Modus operandi
Speaking to mid-day, an officer said that the complainant first saw a Facebook page with a headline 'Models Casting-Events Mumbai' in September 2015 and its moderator was Deepak Kumar (Lokesh). The page read that there were assignments for young, good-looking men and women in Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore, and would get anywhere from Rs 10,000 to Rs 1.35 lakh.
"As the complainant was an aspiring model, he called on the cellphone number and sent his portfolio on the e-mail Id mentioned on the page. The next day, the complainant received a reply claiming that he has been shortlisted for the campaign and would be paid R1.35 lakh for a nine-day shoot," the officer said.
Initially, the complainant smelled a rat the moment Lokesh asked him to deposit Rs 10,000 in his account for preparing a modelling contract. After the Sion resident expressed his reservations over the authenticity of the whole deal, Lokesh revealed his true identity and e-mailed his photo identity proofs to win over the complainant's trust.
Convinced, the teenager deposited R10,000 in his account. After receiving the money, Kumar told the boy that he would soon receive the shoot schedule. But days passed and nothing happened. Realising that he had been duped, the teenager immediately approached the Cyber Crime Cell.
Cops worked day in and day out to gather Kumar's details, including the bank account he used to execute the crime, to trace his location. They zeroed on Kumar and nabbed him last weekend from Ambedkar Nagar in south Delhi.
Cop speak
"During interrogation, the accused admitted that he has duped several aspiring models from various cities to the tune of Rs 3.5 lakh. He would ask the victims to deposit R10,000 in his bank account. So we believe that he has duped at least 35 people. There could be many more," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Cyber Crime) M Rajkumar.
Inspector Kalpana Gadekar from Cyber police station said, "He would operate using his personal number and used four bank accounts. Probe revealed that these accounts belonged to his friends, whom he fooled into giving details by claiming that he was expecting money from his relatives."
A troubled youth
Kumar told the cops that he hails from a middle-class family. His father remarried following his mother's death, and breathed his last a few years ago. Following his father's death, Kumar's stepmother deceitfully took over his father's property and cash, and threw him out of the house. Kumar claimed he spends his nights at gurdwaras and temples and eats at langars. He told the police that he got the idea of starting the Facebook page after watching a modelling advert on a social networking site and decided to make easy money by duping people, as his qualification would never land him a decent job.

Philadelphia Flyers: Analyzing Potential Forward Lines If Lockout Ended TomorrowNovember 30, 2012
Philadelphia Flyers: Analyzing Potential Forward Lines If Lockout Ended Tomorrow
There isn't a lot of hope right now for an NHL season, but you never know when the two sides could decide to start making money and playing hockey again.
Federal mediators are now involved in the discussions, so there's at least a little bit of reason to think a deal may get reached soon.
If that doesn't happen, the Flyers would actually be one of the least affected teams, because of how many young guys they have, some of whom are just developing and gaining confidence now in the AHL.
But if a deal is reached, those guys would get called right up to the big club. With so much talent across the board for the Flyers, it's worth looking at how their forward lines might get arranged if the lockout ends soon.
Line 1
Scott Hartnell-Claude Giroux-Jake Voracek
This would be one of the best lines in the league. Last year, Giroux and Hartnell were a dynamic duo supplemented by Jaromir Jagr on the left side.
As good as Jagr is, Voracek is pretty skilled himself, and if nothing else, he is younger and will bring some extra energy.
This line would be deadly from a scoring standpoint. The biggest element to this combination would be the necessity of Giroux shooting more.
Voracek is more of a setup guy than a scorer, meaning Giroux would have to take on a bigger scoring role.
Line 2
Wayne Simmonds-Danny Briere-Brayden Schenn
The biggest question with this line is whether Briere or Schenn should play center. Both are very good centers, so to me it comes down to who is more capable at wing.
That answer, as of now, is Schenn. He is younger, faster and plays more aggressively at this point than Briere does. Briere is much more effective defensively as a center, so at this point, he starts the year in the middle.
Either way, Briere and Schenn would play off each other well, and Simmonds is one of the most underrated wingers in the league. Simmonds would mix things up and get in front of the net, allowing Schenn and Briere to create chances in the offensive zone.
Line 3
Rusty Fedotenko-Sean Couturier-Matt Read
This would be one of the best third lines in the league. Couturier could develop into the Flyers' second best player in the next year or two. He has the size, skill and hockey sense to become a really special player.
With Fedotenko providing the grit and leadership on this line, they would be a solid group on both ends of the ice. Read has the speed to stretch the ice, leaving more room for Couturier to occupy the middle.
I'm not sure if Read would be able to match his production from last year on this line, but he doesn't necessarily have to, as long as he does his job and finishes as a "plus" at the end of the season.
Line 4
Eric Wellwood-Max Talbot-Zac Rinaldo
This line has everything you want from your checking line: toughness, speed, experience and a willingness to forecheck and do some dirty work.
Talbot would be the league's best fourth line center, and while I wish he could see the ice more, there just isn't room for him anywhere on the first three lines. The silver lining in this is that he'll be more fresh for penalty killing, which is what he's best at.
Wellwood is a phenomenal skater, and would be able to fly up the boards and keep the opposition on its heels. Combined with Talbot, he could bring a little offensive spark.
Rinaldo is definitely not afraid to mix it up, and would be the one to drop the gloves or deliver some big hits. He's not a bad player though, and is more than capable of getting up and down the ice and contributing a bit.

If you've ever wondered where is the most expensive home for sale in the United States, then do I have an answer for you! I bet you never thought the home would be located in Dallas Texas? Well it is, the estate has an estimated value of $135 million. The home its self is five stories tall with an impressive 42,500 square feet. Not too shabby huh?
While rumors swirled Friday about the alleged sale of a $117 million home in Woodside, Calif., another abode far from the center of the tech universe quietly began attracting attention as the new most expensive home for sale in the United States.
The Crespi-Hicks Estate, which is being quietly shopped off of the Multiple Listing Services, wants a staggering $135 million. The best part: it's not located in San Francisco, or even New York City. America's new most expensive home for sale is in Dallas, Texas.
The Dallas estate sits behind wrought iron gates in the ultra elite Mayflower Estates neighborhood. Spanning 25 acres, the compound boasts roughly 42,500 square feet of living space including a five-story main house, a two-story guest house and a three-story pool house.

from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A measure of length and surface, in which the yard is divided into quarters and nails: formerly employed in measuring cloth sold by the yard, but now practically out of use, the yard being divided into halves, quarters, sixteenths, etc.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
In the Victoria and Albert Museum there is a remarkable cloth-measure made of walnut, bearing date 1745, three-sided, one being covered over with letters of the alphabet cut in deep relief, thus serving a useful purpose in the home or as an educational standard.

Reports Mad Dog of Sand Lake: "Yesterday, I went to a medical center in Superior, Wis., for an outpatient procedure. Because I was to undergo anesthesia, my Beautiful Wife went with as my driver.
"After the procedure, she did some shopping, and then we decided to go to a restaurant. We went to a Duluth restaurant that is a member of a national chain of seafood restaurants.
"After we were seated, the waitress, a cheery young lady, asked: 'Are you celebrating anything, like a birthday or something?'
"My BW said: 'He had a colonoscopy today!' The waitress was at a loss for words! Absolutely dumbstruck for a few moments!
"Then we all laughed and got about our business."
A snowbird's life
Mavis of Little Canada: "It's springtime, at least in Florida, and time to pack up and return to Minnesota. But first, Saturday morning, we had to visit the Farmers' Market one last time. This is not your average Farmers' Market. This one has ambience! It's located in a park along the Indian River, which is part of the Intracoastal Waterway — a beautiful area.
"The vendors' stands, each with a white canopy over it, are nestled among the palm trees. There you can select fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, plants and flower arrangements, oysters and other seafood, and various goodies meant to be eaten on the spot while you sit along the seawall.
"Each Saturday morning there is different live music, which lends a festive atmosphere to the market. Today it was calypso music. We were amused by two little boys holding hands and dancing and by a generous-sized lady in slacks jiggling her fanny to the rhythm.
"Adjacent to this area is a marina. I like to walk past it and marvel at the size of the yachts anchored there. They have access to the ocean through a nearby inlet. Although it's fun to see them, somehow I'm quite content with our little canoe.
"So now we must get busy, harvest the last of our tomatoes, clean out the annual flowers and put away the bird feeder, bird bath and lawn chairs. A bittersweet chore but, God willing, we'll return next winter."
Come again?
Another episode of creative hearing, reported at midweek by The Grand Duchess of Grand Avenue: "A few weeks back, Little Blondie and the granddaughter from Texas were visiting. One night she came downstairs looking rather puzzled and wanted to know what she was hearing on the roof. It sounded like 'thousands of little mice feet.' We live in a bungalow, and there's not much distance between the ceiling and the roof outside. From the forecast for the next couple days, I'm expecting we'll be hearing thousands and thousands of little mice feet on the roof!"

W.i. Fly of Austin: "This is Tim McCarver's last year in the broadcast booth. He told a good story during the Yankee-Tiger game today. He said a player named Glenn Wilson bought two service stations while he was in the big leagues. He told Tim: 'I am going to hang it up. I worry too much about my mechanics.' Tim said: 'Your hitting mechanics or your throwing mechanics?' Glenn said: 'My mechanics at the service stations.' "

Fly in My Soup of Cottage Grove: "My favorite movie quote was from a Peter Sellers 'Pink Panther' movie; I can't remember which one. [Bulletin Board notes: It was "The Pink Panther Strikes Again."] Inspector Clouseau was in a small hotel lobby, talking to a clerk. He was doing an inquiry on something, and there was a little dog barking — just continually barking, barking behind the counter.
"Clouseau asks the clerk: 'Does your dog bite?'
"The clerk says: 'What?'
"He says: 'Does your dog bite?'
"The clerk says: 'No.'
"Just then, the dog comes around the corner and bites Clouseau in the ankle, and he says: 'I thought you said your dog did not bite.'
"And the clerk answers: 'That is not my dog.' "

A company that produces prophylactics — condoms — is introducing a new bacon-flavored … bacon-flavored … bacon-flavored condoms.

Then the light bulb went on, and I took my cousin's baby daughter and momentarily held her up for these boys to see. They were gone like bats outta hell!"
Ah, the smell of it!
A Proustian occasion for AJ's Mom of "Casablanca-by-the-Sea": "The other evening, as I waited for the Space Station, the night-blooming jasmine filled the air with its rich, sweet fragrance. It took me back to when I was young, and we lived at 6900 SW 4th Street, near Hollywood by the Sea. My dad had planted a jasmine in the back yard, and I would sit under it at dusk — my own little hiding place. When the stars came out, I would wander in and see Dad and The Tallahassee Lassie dancing to 'Moon Over Miami' or 'A Sleepy Lagoon.' I'd take my bath and go to bed, listening to the music and my parents' conversation, reading until I fell asleep."

We had a 50% turn-out for the vote. (That's better than a presidential election!)
We tallied the voting spreadsheet, and gave time for people to talk up their underdogs. The final results:
The Official Arbiter Of The Freeside Lease Negotiations (Taylor) will get tentative best prices for each of the top four. Next Friday we should have our final data points: the lease price. We'll have one more round of voting then, and pick a single winner.
In the mean time, you have a few extra days to sway the final vote to your favorite.
Dues collection will start on the 15th as planned. Raiford is setting up the PayPal magic to do so. You have until the 20th to pay dues before somebody on the waiting list bogarts your spot.
We've decided to collect donations when we move in (hopefully next month) when we do our move-in party / inaugural fund raiser.
Taylor showed a video of the Toronto Hacklab. You may view it here.
It was a well-attended meeting tonight - standing room only in the "Eagle's Nest" room. (25 people? 30?) It was good to see some faces that hadn't been out in a while -- good to know you folks are still in :)

As I am sure most of you are aware, Boston is getting hit with another giant snow storm as we speak. It started early Sunday morning and should continue to snow through Monday night. I know a lot of people hate all this snow, and I have to admit, it is a bit annoying, but in general, I really enjoy it. There are so many fun things to do in the snow and I love snow days cuddled up on the couch, drinking hot coco and relaxing
in front of the fire.
Because of all the snow, Vinnie and I had a pretty mellow weekend. I have been slacking a bit getting all my runs in for my half marathon especially with all the snow so I was concerned about not fitting in my long runs but I manage to run both days!
On Saturday we made it out of the house around 11am to pick up groceries for the week and run some errands. I amvdetermined to have healthy food in house and make smart snack and meal decisions this week. We did a big food haul at Trader Joe's full of veggies, lean meat and lots of fruit.
After our shop we rushed up to Melrose because there was an open house we wanted to check out. I know, kinda random, but we are always on the look out for a home and when something pops up we try to go see it because you never know! And, this house was so cute, in a great location and really affordable. We are considering placing an offer… we are on the fence because we love living in Charlestown… just sick of renting.
After the open house we walked around Main St of Melrose which is super quaint with tons of shops and restaurants. We stopped into Stearns & Hills Bistro for a late lunch and it was delicious.
By the time we got home it was late afternoon. I needed to sweat and clear my mind, so I rushed to the YMCA. I was planning on doing something light and easy but I jumped on the treadmill and ended up running for 60 min. It was a slow pace, but it felt good. I watched Kids Baking Championship on Food Network the whole time. Have you seen it?! It's pretty funny and they are good cooks!
After my treadmill run, I did 15 minutes of toning exercises before they kicked me out because they were closing. I shut down the gym on a Saturday night! #sweetlife #fitgirlproblems
Sunday was a day full of meal prepping and running. I had 12 miles on the training plan and the thought of doing it on the treadmill was terrible so I bundled up and ran 12 long snowy miles outside in the snow storm. It wasn't easy, but I had a lot more fun than if I was inside going nowhere on the treadmill! I will write more about my decision to run outside in a snow storm tomorrow so check back.
After my run, I was exhausted so I took a few hours to recoup but I eventually got off the couch and did a ton of meal prep for the week. I honestly think I have too much food!
I made BBQ pulled chicken and cole slaw to go with it, homemade hummus and sliced veggies, quinoa, protein pancakes, a loaded veggie egg bake, tofu and sliced strawberries. This doesn't include all the other food I have in my fridge that doesn't need slicing, dicing and cooking like carrots, apples, grapefruit, lettuce, kale, etc.
Andddd I didn't even watch the Grammys. Vinnie wouldn't watch the red carpet and by the time the show came on, I had completely forgotten about it! Were they good? I need to go and check out all the glamorous dressing and watch all the performances on youtube.
I am going to link up with Katie for Marvelous Monday and Biana for Weekending. Share the best part of your weekend… did you do anything marvelous!?

Preserving mushrooms
What to do when you have too many mushrooms
A big haul of delicious mushrooms is thrilling! But what to do when you've eaten all that can decently be consumed, and you still have pounds left over? Mushrooms can go moldy in the fridge quite easily (and certain specific mushrooms, like inky caps and puffballs, can render themselves inedible in a day or so) so finding some way of preserving them is important.
One of the simplest and most reliable ways of preserving mushrooms is by drying them. Mushrooms should be sliced first, to quicken the process. If you don't have a food dehydrator, you can put them on an aluminum foil tray over an electric lamp (or something else with a old-style light bulb you can just keep on) or the pilot light on the stove. My own stove has two hot spots from pilot lights that work very nicely; but my lights have all been switched over to fluorescent, so that doesn't work for me anymore.
Mushrooms should be dried until they have the texture of a crisp potato chip. If they are still flexible, they will continue to rehydrate and… bad things will happen. This also means that they will need to be stored in air-tight containers. But if these steps are followed correctly, they will keep for years. Some museum herbaria still have dried mushroom specimens from the 1700s, though I'm not sure I'd want to eat them.
Some mushrooms get tough or otherwise get a bad texture when dried. Chanterelles get quite leathery, for example. These mushrooms can be dried and then powdered and added to dishes as a flavoring – or of course they can be preserved in other ways. Dried slices of giant puffball can be used to build a pizza on, or they can be crumbled into soup for a nice fungal flavor and thickening. Drying is the traditional way to preserve morels and boletes, and it strengthens their flavor.
Freezing is the other preservation method that comes naturally to most of us. The main point here is that all mushrooms should be sautéed (or parboiled, or briefly cooked in some other way) before being frozen. Otherwise, unless you really, really flash freeze (and unfreeze) them, they usually liquefy upon thawing – a most unpleasant experience. Oyster mushrooms are absolutely the worst for this, which is really strange since in nature oyster mushrooms can freeze solid on the tree, and you thaw them out and they're fine. But if you freeze them in your freezer without sautéing first, you end up with mush when you thaw them.
This is also good for some mushrooms, like hen of the woods, that have a reputation for needing a long time to cook. In my experience, most of those mushrooms need some cooking at a higher heat than they often get in order to soften up. For instance, the hen of the woods one sees with a recommendation for soups or casseroles. But if you sauté it for a few minutes in a mixture of butter and oil, you can raise it to a temperature beyond what it usually reaches with those methods, and this softens it right up and you can just put it into your soup then and have it good to go. Or, likewise, you can freeze it then and have it cooked and ready to use as it comes out of the freezer. Also, you don't have to sauté your mushrooms on their own – you can add some onions and garlic to the pan and make a mixture called duxelles that also freezes very well and is a great ready-to-use ingredient.
Other methods
More elaborate preservation methods are of course possible: pickling, confiting, smoking are all good ways to make tasty preserved mushrooms. They also are more elaborate and take more work, and change the flavor of the mushroom more. With drying and freezing, you're preserving the mushroom pretty much as much as possible with its original flavor. The two methods can be combined, to a certain extent: if you want to make absolutely sure of your dried mushrooms, you can put them in a deep freeze for a while each year (or microwave them) to kill any bug eggs or larvae that might be on them. Since your mushrooms are potato-chip crisp and completely dehydrated, they will not be affected by the microwaving (or freezing), right?
In any case, I hope this helps you enjoy your mushrooms.

Agreed! It was such a horrible end, she kissed him and then left him behind. And there were so many mysteries still to be unravelled, like what exactly is that underground city used for, or why Ritori is helping her brother, to the extent she left her love-of-a-lifetime behind. And what an abrupt ending, it seems Chiyoki will now help out the boxers guy search for Ritori. Anyways I really liked Chiyoki/Phalem/flat-chested girl, at the end, how she protected the boxers guy putting her life on the line for him and how much she believed in him.
So in my opinion, although I preferred Ritori from the beginning I like Chiyoki more than Ritori now, because Ritori was prepared to watch her brother kill the boxers guy, that is Ritori was prepared to let the boxers guy die while Chiyoki put her life, fortune and everything on the line to protect the boxers guy. So I think at the end Chiyoki's love for the boxers guy is stronger than Ritori's love for him who chose her brother over the boxers guy, even after what her brother did to the boxers guy. But yeah...the ending was so dissapointing as this manga had so much potential, its much better that the mangaka's next other manga

Half assedly anwered possible questions. Like THE brother didnt want that anyone would find that underwater city which appearently regenerated whatever dead fell there. Stop people from playing god by destroying everyone who could get there.
Aaand the little sister just had one hellowa brother complex, big enough to the point to leave her love and blow the city.
His brother appearently died in one point, yeah, but he sank to that "godly" place, regenerated, got bad attitude and started killing ppl to protect that place.

Not just
leave her love
, she was going to
stand by and watch
her dear brother kill her love again after he had nearly killedd him once by stabbing him and leaving him for dead. Some love huh? If her love for him is that weak compared to her brother complex, I dont this kind of girl and this kind of love is worthy enough for a guy to set out on a search for across the seven seas, I would much rather stick with the girl who is not as beautiful but who noticed his sadness when everyone was comparing him to Ritori's brother and kept him comapny, and who stood there watching him while he was in coma ready to do anything, even risk her life to protect his, now that's what I call love.
And yeah you are right, the author provided some half-assed answers to the many questions. I really liked this manga as it gave off the vibe as Sindbad, Moby Dick, 200,000 leagues under the sea, all in one manga, its such a pity that it had to end this way

Every single chapter was great... but I'd rather have a few bad chapters here and there than end with only six chapters! It's kind of sad, this manga had some of the best chapters, but as a whole it wasn't so great since it seems to have gotten cut short.
Hopefully the author decides to do a sequel... I'm not going to count on it though.

Sad how it was going so well right until the last couple pages...and then the ending just makes you say...seriously...? However, on the brightside (if you can call it that) there is still the potential for a sequel since the ending is very open ended...but I sorta doubt that would happen.

seems like the reason behind this rushed ending its because minazuki suu (the autor) became incapacited

Hi guys just like you i was shocked at the ending of this manga! And for a manga to he this short i though at least the ending was going to be awsome and it started to be that way on the last 2 chapters! So i went ahead and surf the web to find any reason why this manga ended! And came across this post!.I became a member just to let u know guys what i know about the manga, I saw that one said that the author was ill or discapacitated! But the truth is that i was searching for some othet mangas he did and he has more mangas that are ongoing ! I can say from what i have seen is that the author has this and another manga complete! Sems to me that they werent positive reviews for this manga and the author decided to end the manga in a cliff hanger so readers could grt motivated and wanted to read more. Nothing more to wake up the curius minds of readers then a cliff hanger! If i find any more news about this manga or any manga related to this one ill let u know! Nowni could advised to read other mangas from the author from what ive seen he has like 6 or 5 mangas that are ongoig And its almost all about gurls like this one that we read! Luck guys

I have to add a data module into my RCP to enable the rcp to be able to connect to a sql database, read / write data. I can write my own data module to do that by jdbc. However, since I am now already in Eclipse platform and Data Tool seems having a comprehensive functionality for database connection & manipulation, I am wondering why I don't use Data Tool directly as the data module in my RCP? However, I found it is not that easy to learn Data Tool API. No good tutorial (there are some for how to use Data Tool as a kind of application, but what I need is for how to integrate Data Tool into my own application). I may not want the Data Tool UI for my RCP, I really want some low level of Data Tool API and build the UI myself. Can someone give me some hints on how to learn it or where to find a good tutorial of learning how to integrate DT to my own application? I have seen the Eclipse documentation, it only lists out all APIs but no tutorials. Hope ppl can help me out. thanks Xinuo]]> 2008-02-23T18:57:37-00:00

By Congressman Robert Hurt
This past week the Department of Labor released a very disappointing jobs report for the month of June. Our national unemployment rate rose to an unacceptable 9.2 percent and only 18,000 jobs were created.
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that truly surprised me: The word "America" was emblazoned across the top in all caps with a little message underneath.
Before I could read the rest, I expected it to be the usual patriotic bombast that you generally see. Instead, it said: "America: Sure was Great While it Lasted."
The 4th of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. Not only is it a bright, cheerful celebration with fireworks and such, but it marks the beginning of American independence. It didn't come easy. The men who signed that document knew they were signing their death warrant if they were captured, but, after a long, difficult struggle, we emerged as a sovereign nation.
Don't just dump unwanted pets
We are Bedford County residents who live on a rural gravel road. It seems that our road is a popular road for dropping unwanted kittens, puppies or pets. We love animals and have pets of our own who are all spayed or neutered to keep down the pet population.
As our nation comes together to celebrate this 4th of July holiday, we are once again reminded of the founding principles that guided our Founders as they carefully and deliberately crafted and signed the Declaration of Independence.
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) provides nursing home services to veterans through three national programs: VA owned and operated nursing homes, state veterans homes owned and operated by states and community nursing programs.
VA nursing homes typically admit residents requiring short term skilled care or those who have a 70 percent or greater service connected disability.

Fridays are and always will be my favourite part of the week.
Not only is it the start of the weekend but it's also the day I get to feature a blogger I have grown to know and love through reading and tweeting with them.
Let's BEE Friends is my weekly meme where readers and writers come to check out what new or old blogger I'm featuring. Many friends have told me they link-up with me on Fridays because it's a great way to meet new friends and find new blogs to follow.
The rules:
1. I ask that you follow me.
2. Grab the button from the sidebar and include it in your post.
3. Link up your favourite post from the week. (no giveaways please)
4. Visit other bloggers who have linked up. Follow who you like.
5. Spread the honey by leaving them some sweet old ♥ comment love ♥ !
The linky can be found at the bottom of this post and will be kept open all weekend! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found today's feature blogger through the Vancouver Mom's Top Mommy Blogger contest I participated in a few months back.
Amanda is the CEO of Lilahbility. She's not only a mother to adorable little Lilah but she's also a Canadian gal and lives in the very same city I do – Vancouver! We are so close and yet, we have not met. I'm pretty confident though, that with time, Amanda and I will cross paths and we'll arrange to get together for lattes.
Is that an invitation? Yes it is, Amanda!
So without further jabbering by me, sit back and read yourself some good stuff about my friend Amanda.
1. What got you started into blogging and how long has it been so far?
I had a few friends (online and IRL) who were blogging, and I thought I'd try my hand at it, just for fun. I started my blog when Lilah was about seven months old, in February of 2010. This was not a carefully thought-out, researched decision, it was really just on a whim. My style is to just sort of go for it and learn as I go, mainly through trial and error. (Case in point, I still haven't read my camera's manual.)
When I started, I blogged mainly about Lilah's growth and progress, which was really only of interest to friends and family. Now I write more about parenthood and life in general; both the funny bits and the touching moments. Of course, I still can't resist the temptation to throw in the occasional video of Lilah doing something random because, oh, the cute!
2. Besides blogging, what do you do for a living?
I teach small people to talk. The fancy term for my job is Speech-Language Pathologist. I work four days a week with kids ages 0-5 with speech and language delays and disorders, which means I get to play for large portions of my workday. And I must be pretty good at it, because they actually pay me for it!
3. Tell us about your family – spouse, kids.
The Hubs and I just celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary, though we've been together for almost twelve years (I know, he took his time with the ring, right?). We have two miscreant cats and we added Lilah to the mix two years ago. She is a very bright, energetic, cautious, earnest, and sweet kid with a fantastic, though sometimes odd, sense of humour.
4. Do you have any other passions besides blogging? Like, maybe photography? Please share.
No, blogging is my life.
Kidding! Can chocolate and wine be considered passions?
Okay, all joking aside, I've recently become obsessed with photography. I've always loved taking and sharing photos, but about a year ago, the Hubs gave me a digital SLR and now I am completely addicted. This is going to sound terribly hokey, but my interest in photography has made me appreciate the beauty in things I might not have noticed before. Also, it's a lot like blogging and writing, in that I can look back and see how far I have come, but know that I still have a loooong way to go.
Another huge part of my life is martial arts. I have been involved in martial arts for the past 14 years and I will always, always be a martial artist. The two disciplines I train in currently are Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. It's my "me time," my sanity, and my mental and physical exercise all rolled into one.
5. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Oh man, I have never been great at questions like this. I'm pretty complacent, so I'm hoping that things won't really be all that different. I guess that means I'm pretty happy with my life the way it is.
But in ten years, Lilah will be twelve, and the Hubs and I would love to have a second child at some point, so with luck, she'd have a younger sibling to boss around. Ideally, we will have a house in Vancouver with a backyard and enough space for all of our kids' crap. I will still be working as a speech therapist, but maybe in private practice, so I can set my own schedule and have more time for blogging!
6. Favourite fast food? Favourite healthy food?
I'm not huge on fast food burger chains, but I definitely love me some Subway, so that's my go-to for a quick lunch. And, being a good Canadian girl and having grown up in Ontario, I'm a big fan of Tim Horton's.
We eat a lot of chicken breast around here. The Hubs makes a mean Cajun chicken breast and we often just dump it on salad and call it a healthy, delicious dinner. I also love salmon (Pacific, of course).
7. Name three of the greatest challenges of motherhood – in your opinion – based on your experience.
In the early days: Sleep deprivation.
At times: lack of physical, emotional, and mental space.
Always: Patience.
8. If we were to snatch away your purse right now, what contents would we find and why would they be there?
Thankfully, I cleaned out my purse for our recent trip to the East coast, so this isn't as embarrassing as it could have been if you'd asked me this a few weeks ago!
Okay, so let's start with the obvious: wallet, keys, iPhone, sunglasses, date book, pen.
Slightly less obvious: blotting papers, lip gloss, hair clips and elastics (both for myself and for Lilah), all-natural hand sanitizer, notebook for jotting down whatever pops into my head, and a Tim Horton's gift card from the family of a child I worked with.
Totally random: Air Canada stir stick, hardened ball of play-do, and three sticky Tic-Tacs (various flavours).
9. What are 2 now-a-day luxuries you cannot live without and why?
You mean, like, live without forever, or for a few days or weeks?
For ten years, from the time I was ten years old, I went to a very rustic camp on a tiny island on a small lake in Ontario. We didn't have flush toilets or showers, and we washed in the lake. We went on canoe trips and sometimes spent days crusted in mud. So I'm pretty much an Amazon. I can easily go without modern comforts for a while. That being said, that first toilet flush and hot shower after getting home from the summer away was heaven.
So if we're talking long term, I'd probably say running water. And wi-fi (duh)!
10. Many bloggers have started adding vlogs to their blog. Do you see yourself ever doing the same? Why or why not?
Ha! You'd have to get me REALLLLY drunk to convince me to do a vlog. It's just not my cup of tea. Public speaking makes me nervous, and when I'm nervous, my face becomes expressionless and my voice monotone. Kind of like a robot. My robotic vlog would be neither interesting nor entertaining and really, nobody wants to see that. I express myself so much better through written words and photographic images, so let's just stick to that and we'll all be better off. (You're welcome.)
Thanks for featuring me, Bruna.
I had fun with these questions!

I am often critical of the Twins radio and television personalities for various reasons, but I can't stop watching or listening to the games. If you listen to Bert Blyleven on Twins television broadcasts long enough, you begin to pick up many "Bertisms" that he uses night after night, on a daily basis. He often uses some cliches that are perfect for the Major League level.
I have always wanted to do something like this, but just never have, so I want your help and your opinions. How about a game that you can play while watching Twins games? Below, I have created a Bert Blyleven Bingo Board. You can use the below template and mix up the order in which the Bertisms are shown. You can add your own Bertisms. Get your friends together and pass out boards to everyone. As you watch the Twins game and listen to Mr. Blyleven, simply cross off the sayings as he uses them. Be the first to get five in a row diagonally, horizonally or vertically and win a predetermined prize.
The below words or phrases are ones that I have heard him use frequently. I didn't include names of current or former Twins players or managers. I also did not include the word he uttered on live TV three years ago on a Sunday afternoon.
So, enjoy this game. Add to it and improve it. Include more Bertisms. And most importantly have fun. OK, even more important than that, if anyone decides to make something more of this idea, or sees financial opportunities, please remember me when you make a bunch of money!

I'm pleased to announce the release of my new book Foul Justice. It's the final book in the Justice series although the main character will live on in other projects I have lined up for this year.
Here's the blurb.
Detective Inspector Lorne Simpkins is back on the force. Before she can
get comfortable with her new partner, newly-promoted DS Katy Foster, the
two are assigned a tragic murder case that looks like a robbery gone
wrong. However, when another wealthy footballer's family meets the same
deadly fate within twenty-four hours, it is clear the crimes involve
something far more sinister.
Keeping her focus on unravelling the complex case isn't easy for Lorne
when she learns news that throws her personal life into a spin—her
fiancé, M16 agent Tony Warner, is involved in a dangerous covert
operation in Afghanistan.
But innocent people are dying on her patch, and someone must catch the killers. Lorne can't allow this Foul Justice to prevail.

About the eapps.cfg File
The eapps.cfg file is divided into sections that can be used to configure a selection of Siebel Business Applications from a global standpoint or at the application level. These sections are described in the following topics. A number of parameters can also be manually input to control security, the ports used for Web server communications, and other operations.
Although you can enter values manually for parameters in the eapps.cfg file, the recommended approach is to configure and apply a SWSE logical profile using the Siebel Configuration Wizard. Use of the SWSE logical profile and the Siebel Configuration Wizard reduces the possibility of introducing errors into the eapps.cfg file. For information about configuring and applying a SWSE logical profile, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

Hi everyone,
Me and my boyfriend are starting our very own first time big adventure and are hoping you lot could give us some well needed advice and guidance
We are planning to do some travelling in america from next june 2012 to end of august 2012. We would also like to visit my brother in Toronto in Canada. We are hoping to start out in New York and use new york as a sort of base for maybe 2 weeks, travel down then to Florida and then maybe get a flight or even public transport over to California. We would like to see i suppose the usual touristy places such as New York, Washington, Orlando, Miami, L.A, San Fran, Las Vegas..theres others just cant think of them right now. Places such as New York,Florida, Miami,L.A we would like to visit the attractions (Disney Land, Empire State Building, etc) We are hoping to have around 10,000 - 11,000 euros with us. Im guessing our accommodation will be motels or hostels as this seems to be the norm. We have decided between ourselves that renting a car/van for long term driving is out as we'd like to be able to relax and enjoy the views and feel that it would be an extra responsibility for us,however renting a car for short distance wouldnt be a problem. We've heard of the Amtrack and are quiet interested in it. Also Greyhouse buses seem to be the thing to go for to..tho im not a very good bus traveler. Canada would be a just a visit trip really,maybe 5 days or so just staying in Toronto and then flying back to America..
We would like to see as much of America as possible and are open to lots of suggestions..the more the better
Just a few Questions..
The Money..would we have enough for what we want to do???
Motels/Hostels: Good websights
We dont want to book our return date when booking our flights just incase we want to stay longer or go home earlier(we hope not). would you recommend this??
Do we need a visa also for Canada??
Carrying Cash..is this a BIG no no??
Would u recommend planning our trip intensively or just do it city by city day by day sort of thing..
If you feel there is other things/Info that we should be aware of please let us know..
This is such a huge thing to plan and we kinda dont really know where or how to start..
Thank you for reading our Thread,we hope that you can help us
Lindsay & Nicky
P.S This was ment for ''North America'' Dont know how to change it lol
Cheers!!! x

Zdeněk Šimek (1927–1970) – sculpture
Date: 30.06.2006 - 14.01.2007
1st floor
Zdeněk Šimek (1927–1970) was one of the major sculptors of post-war Czech abstraction. Since 1964, he displayed his artwork with the Trasa Group. This association put together a generation of artists who had graduated in the 1950s with Professors Emil Filla and J. Wagner at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Zdeněk Šimek came up with his own concept of abstraction based on the purity of form, summary of shapes and clear curves of material. The exhibition in the Recess on the second floor is a comprehensive presentation of his work.

By Aloysious Kasoma
The opposition party, Uganda People's Congress (UPC) has described the current situation in the country as a sign that the ruling National Resistance Movement party is on the verge of collapse after failing to track down the theft of public funds.
Okello Lucima the UPC spokesperson said that no government can live poverty to thrive like the NRM has done and mentioned that looting is well organized.
"There is no in charge, the NRM government is on the verge of collapse, no doubt looting in Uganda is well organized and the last elections is one of them" he explained
Lucima said that the president should announce it clearly that there is no government or the nationals must come together to push the regime.
UPC said that the situation in areas like Karamoja, Northern Uganda and Luwero Triangle in the last 20 years is still begging not until there is full accountability.
Okello says that the suffering areas would have been planned for if UPC was in power because their desire is to see a peaceful region of people sharing the national resources equally.

"God's not a secret to kept. We're going public with this, as public as a City on a Hill." Matthew 5:14 The Message
Nehemiah Leaders is a Multi-Ethnic, Multi-Denominational fellowship of Christian Marketplace Leaders in Chicagoland. Our mission is to be the "bridge" that connects faith in Christ to the Marketplace. Our vision is just as in the Old Testament Book of Nehemiah, to be utilized as God's "faithful remnant" to help rebuild and repair the City walls and gates of Chicagoland in and through the Marketplace for the glory of God and the expansion of HIS Kingdom.
Crisis Response International
Reaching the Harvest in the midst of Crisis
Crisis Response International (CRI) is a nonprofit organization that resources, trains and mobilizes volunteers churches and other organizations to respond to disasters and compassion initiatives around the world.
CRI provides a model and framework for responding to disaster situations and delivering resources to areas that would otherwise be offlimits to volunteers. Our procedures and training avoid what the government calls "the second disaster," referring to the chaos that often ensues when spontaneous resources and untrained volunteers arrive on the scene.
You dont need to be a seminary trained theologian to make an impact for Christ. Everyday we see ordinary men and women with a passion for Jesus take the leap of faith and become a trained and certified responder with CRI.
CRI hosts trainings around the country and certifies responders in real life, practical skills. These skills include Chaplaincy, Trauma and Grief Counseling, First Aid, Search & Rescue, Evangelism and Prayer counseling and ministry. So far we've trained over 3,500 responders to reach the harvest in crisis, but our work is far from over. Pray about joining our network of trained responders ready and willing in the day of disaster.
Online academy
CRI is launching an online training and resource website that anyone, anywhere can access to train and reach the harvest in crisis. We believe God is raising up 10,000 mercy missionaries through CRI who are equipped with the word and wisdom of God in the midst of deep darkness in the earth. Just as Isaiah prophesied, the glory of the Lord is rising upon you, we believe God is raising up men and woman who have a heart to go where we're needed the most. CRI provides a model and framework for effective missions in the midst of disaster.
When crisis breaks out we all want to do something to help. Some of us are called to help be the answer to our own prayers and go where Light is needed most. Since 2007 CRI has deployed hundreds of teams to places including Nepal, Philippines, New Orleans, Iraq, California and more. When it comes to disaster and crisis, it's not if, it's when. At CRI we believe Jesus calls us to server those who are hurting with the love and hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As a trained responder you are invited to deploy with CRI.
CRI Director Sean Malone is available to speak to your church, business group or company about ways you can reach the harvest in crisis with CRI. Sean can come to you and share stories from the field of crisis of God's infinite grace in action in the midst of incredible loss and despair. We know God has a plan and purpose for every nation even in disaster. Hear from a unique voice and leader in the Church today.
While involved in the motion pictures industry in New York, Sean found a front row seat at Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks. Using movie production equipment, he was able to provide lighting equipment for search and rescue operations. This is where the seeds for being involved in crisis response work were planted. Shortly after, he and his wife Laura trained with YWAM, and then moved to New Orleans just days before hurricane Katrina made landfall. In 2007 they officially launched Crisis Response International, and since then have trained thousands of Responders to reach the Harvest in the midst of crisis.

Protestors cheer after Hudson woman not detained or deported
March 08, 2017 05:45 PM
LATHAM -- Elsa Martinez was greeted by dozens of supporters as she walked into a check-in at Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Route 7 in Latham, on Wednesday.
During her last visit, an agent took Martinez's passport. Her family was afraid they'd be taking their mother next.
"It's scary to even think that she is in there right now and they could take her right now," said Nicholas Gonzales, Martinez's son.
Gonzales is one of Martinez's five American born children. Martinez fled to the United States 27 years ago to escape El Salvador's civil war. Now, she's self-employed cleaning houses.
Martinez's family says she has had legal immigration status, but now she's in limbo.
"If anyone deserves to be in this country, it's my mother, she's not a criminal," said Gonzales.
After chants from the recently formed Columbia County Sanctuary Movement and anxiety from her family, Martinez walked out of her check-in. Agents told her she wouldn't be deported anytime soon.
Martinez thanked the dozens in the crowd for turning out.
Martinez's case shows the uncertainty in the lengthy and sometimes complex immigration process.
"Even families who have their paperwork, that level of fear is still there," said Dina Gregory, Columbia County Sanctuary Movement.
Columbia County Sanctuary Movement put on the protest. The group was here last week for Maria Martinez-Chacon, who is Elsa Martinez's sister-in-law.
"There's a pretty dominant narrative that's breaking people into good immigrants and bad immigrants, and it's a little more complicated than that," said Gregory.
It's a win for Martinez today, but she doesn't get her passport until she gets a new status. If she does.
Because El Salvador has problems with crime and poverty, Martinez was able to request Temporary Protected Status. That request is pending. Martinez's lawyers are working on permanent status.

I was hoping to make something where you type something in then the computer responds and will ask questions and i want there to be a window with a picture in it - not a moving graphic - that you could type in to. I have all the code done except for a window to open and for it to have a graphic on it i also don't know if i would need to add a text box afterward to type into. Please does anybody know a tutorial on this type of thing?
