CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – Starr Hill Brewery, Virginia's largest and most award-winning craft brewery, is expanding into the Philadelphia market beginning in October.
The craft brewery plans to make its entire core lineup available which includes: Northern Lights IPA, Boxcar Pumpkin Porter (fall seasonal), The Love (wheat beer), Jomo Lager, Dark Starr Stout, Festie (amber lager), Starr Pils, and Double Platinum (Imperial IPA) as well as the brewery's variety packs and All Access rotating draught-only series of beers.
"Twelve years ago it was our dream to open a world-class craft brewery in Charlottesville, Virginia, and that dream became a reality," said Mark Thompson, founder & master brewer of Starr Hill. "We've been successful in Virginia and some surrounding states, but entering Philadelphia is taking the dream to a new level. Philadelphia is one of the most sophisticated craft beer markets in the country, and I can't tell you how excited we are to introduce Philly beer lovers to Starr Hill."
Starr Hill beers will be available on draught (1/2 barrels and 1/6 barrels) and in bottles (six-packs and 12-packs) at bars, restaurants, beer distributors and delis. The beers will be distributed by Penn Distributors, Inc. (Philadelphia) and Gretz Beer Company (Norristown, Penn.).
"Starr Hill is based in Charlottesville, but they have been well known and well respected throughout the craft beer community for years," said Mike Gretz Sr., president and chief executive officer, Gretz Distributing. "Mark Thompson and his team brew a wide variety of craft beer styles, and they've been successful wherever they've gone. We're thrilled to welcome them to Philadelphia, and we look forward to working with them to build the Starr Hill brand."
"Starr Hill coming to Philadelphia is great news for anyone who is passionate about great craft beer," said Matt Funchion, president and chief operating officer, Penn Distributors, Inc. "Mark Thompson is one of the most respected brewers in the country, and we could not be happier to be distributing Starr Hill's full lineup of award-winning beers."
At the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) in 2011, Starr Hill was awarded a gold medal in the Vienna lager category for Jomo Lager, a light-bodied amber lager. The company also won silver medals for two of its specialty beers, Monticello Reserve Ale (indigenous beer category) and Smoke Out (smoke beer category). The company has won 19 GABF medals since its founding.
Starr Hill Brewery was founded in 1999 in Charlottesville, Virginia by Mark Thompson and Kristin Dolan. The company brews more than 20 brands of beer representing a variety of beer styles. Starr Hill brands are distributed in Virginia, Washington, DC, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, and South Carolina.

Staying up late, sleeping in every day and eating after 8:00 pm may be risk factors in weight gain. A recent study from Northwestern Medicine found that late sleepers consumed 248 more calories a day, mainly at dinner and later in the evening. They ate half as many fruits and vegetables, twice the fast food and drank more full-calorie sodas than those with earlier sleep times.
"The extra daily calories can mean a significant amount of weight gain – two pounds per month – if they are not balanced by more exercise," said co-lead author Kelly Glazer Baron, a health psychologist and a neurology instructor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
The study followed 51 participants, 23 late sleepers and 28 normal sleepers, with an average age of 30 for a week. The participants wore a wrist actigraph to calculate their sleep and activity levels and completed food consumption diaries.
Late sleepers went to sleep at an average time of 3:45 am and woke up by 10:45 am, ate breakfast at noon, lunch at 2:30 pm, dinner at 8:15 pm and a final meal at 10:00 pm. Normal sleepers on average were up by 8:00 am, ate breakfast by 9:00 am, lunch at 1:00 pm, dinner at 7:00 pm, a last snack at 8:30 pm and were asleep by 12:30 am.
The study showed that in addition to the number of calories consumed each day, the timing was important. Those who ate after 8:00 pm were more likely to have a higher BMI, even after controlling for sleep timing and duration.
"The research findings could be relevant to people who are not very successful in losing weight," said Phyllis Zee, M.D., the study's lead author. "The study suggests regulating the timing of eating and sleep could improve the effectiveness of weight management programs."

[prMac.com] Boston, Massachusetts – Yanobox Nodes 2 is a unique visual effects plugin for FCP, Premiere Pro, AE and Motion that offers unprecedented power to create connected motion graphics and abstract particle universes. Yanobox Nodes takes its inspiration from data visualizations and networks. Diagrams of nodes and complex networks visualizations are becoming very popular in motion graphics because of their underlying beauty.
Yanobox Nodes offers a unique work-flow to combine text , images and graphics. The plugin provides comprehensive interface to produce a large palette of Motion Graphics including networks, diagrams, particles, points or text clouds, dynamic connections, wireframe, 3D structures and abstract universes. Above all, Nodes 2 is fast because all the graphics are integrated in a single environment and are accelerated by the GPU.
What's New in Nodes 2:
* Nodes 2 is the result of a complete rewrite of the original plugin from the ground up. Low-level coding was used in order to provide a rendering engine that can support 50,000 particles and unique font acceleration. The plugin runs in Final Cut Pro X and Premiere Pro, alongside Motion and After Effects.
* Point clouds are now created from primitives, footage, and 3D models, allowing for infinite possibilities.
* Animation modules let you quickly animate a choice of destination parameters, mixing them with keyframes if needed. Individual nodes are now procedurally generated up to a resolution of 4096 pixels, including the new glowing shapes dedicated to particle creations.
Fully Integrated into After Effects
Nodes 2 natively supports the After Effects Camera. This allows for seamless integration with other industry standard plugins also compatible with the 3D environment offered by AE. This feature enables clever methods of layering to quickly create sophisticated 3D compositions with multiple instances of Nodes.

ATHENS — An anti-austerity demonstration by more than 80,000 people in Athens degenerated into violence on Wednesday as hundreds of protesters clashed with riot police ahead of a crucial parliamentary vote on new spending cuts.
The vote is the toughest test yet for the country's fragile four month-old coalition government, which must pass the $17 billion package of measures to ensure Greece continues receiving vital bailout funds from its international creditors to avoid bankruptcy.
Hundreds of protesters hurled rocks and gasoline bombs at lines of riot police guarding Parliament, who responded with volleys of tear gas and stun grenades, and the first use of water cannon in Greece in years.
Some in the 80,000-strong demonstration ran for cover as running battles broke out with police on the second day of a 48-hour general strike. Clouds of tear gas rose from Syntagma Square.
Inside the Parliament building, lawmakers interrupted the debate as Parliament employees went on strike to protest cuts to their wages brought by Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras in an amendment to the austerity bill.
Stournaras later withdrew the amendment, and the tempestuous debate resumed after Parliament employees returned to work.
The austerity package is expected to scrape through when the vote is held later in the night. But any defections or abstentions could severely weaken the conservative-led coalition formed in June.
"This bill not only demonstrates that this country will honor its international commitments in return for the major amounts of assistance it has received, it is a commitment to proceed with major structural reforms," Stournaras said.
The government combined has 176 of Parliament's 300 seats, and needs a simple majority of those present to pass the bill. Without the Democratic Left, which has said it will vote against, Samaras' conservatives and the Socialists control 160 votes. However, there is still a threat of more dissenters.
Greece's next bailout loan installment of 31.5 billion Euros, out of a total of 240 billion Euros, is already five months overdue. Without it, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras says, Greece will run out of money on Nov. 16.
If Athens cannot raise sufficient funds otherwise, it will quickly find it impossible to pay its huge debts. As well as pushing the country out of the 17-country group that uses the euro, this could trigger a nightmare of bank runs, hyperinflation and currency depreciation that would vaporize savings and put many basic goods out of the reach of many Greeks.
"We must vote in favor of the measures," conservative New Democracy lawmaker Constantinos Tassoulas urged Parliament. "It is our duty."
The measures being debated are for for 2013-14 and include new deep pension cuts and tax hikes, a two-year increase in the retirement age to 67, and laws that will make it easier to fire and transfer civil servants who are currently guaranteed jobs for life. The country is suffering a deep recession set to enter a sixth year, and record high unemployment of 25 percent.
"You are throwing people onto to the street, people who need a few more years till they get their pensions," said Panagiotis Lafazanis, parliamentary spokesman for the main opposition Syriza, or Radical Left, party. "What will happen to them. Will they starve? … This is an illegal and unconstitutional law."
Opposition parties accused the government of trampling on Greece's constitution with the proposed cuts in pensions and benefits, and complained that the bill, several hundred pages long, was too complex to be debated in a single session.
Meanwhile, judges in the country's Supreme Court ruled that new cuts to their own pay contained in the draft bill were illegal.
Samaras' small Democratic Left coalition partner has said it will not back the measures, while a handful of lawmakers from the third coalition party, the Socialists, are expected to vote against the austerity package.
Socialist MP Theodora Tzakri verbally shredded the bill, but said she was forced to back it as Greece had no other way of raising the funds it needs.
"The recession has exceeded every limit, and not only is no light visible at the end but we are still at the beginning of the crisis," Tzakri said. "I will vote for the measures with a gun to my forehead."
Greece's main trade association warned that the new cutbacks would further reduce consumer and government spending, driving even more retailers out of business.
"To vote for the measures … will deal the coup de grace to an exhausted and battered society," association head Vassilis Korkidis said.
While Samaras has been facing increasing pressure at home, other members of the 17-country eurozone have been doing what they can to ensure Greece stays in the currency group. Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, for example, has softened her previous tough stance – paving the way for a deal to let Greece take more time to meet loan conditions.
Even if Parliament approves the draft legislation, it is unlikely that Greece will receive the next bailout installment in time for Samaras' Nov. 16 deadline. The payment was expected to be approved at a meeting of European finance ministers on Monday Nov. 12.
However, the ministers' vote hinges on a report by the so-called troika of austerity inspectors from the European Union, IMF and European Central bank, which may not be ready in time. Furthermore, some eurozone countries can only give the go-ahead after their own Parliaments have voted on it. Germany is not expected to do so before Nov. 19.
As a result, the EU or ECB may have to step in with some interim financing.
The 48-hour general strike against the bill shut down the public administration, left hospitals functioning on emergency staff and closed schools and tax offices. All ferry and train schedules have been canceled until Thursday, flights were disrupted by a four-hour air traffic controllers' strike and Athens was without public transport for most of the day.
The country's biggest union has also called for a demonstration on Sunday evening, when the 2013 state budget is due to be voted on.

Eleven Palestinians suspected and reportedly convicted of working as collaborators for Israel were executed at the Gaza City police headquarters on Friday morning, according to a Hamas official, a day after Israeli air strikes killed three high-level Hamas commanders in Rafah.
Israeli authorities said the assassination of the three commanders, who died Thursday morning, was an intelligence coup. Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri condemned the killing of three of groups senior commanders, Mohamed Abo Shamaleh, Raed al-Attar and Mohamed Barhoum, threatening that Israel would pay for the "crime."
Thirty-five other Palestinians were killed on Thursday via Israeli bombing. At least four more Palestinians were killed in Gaza on Friday as the 'Operation Protective Edge' entered its 46th day.
The Israeli military reported more than 20 airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, while two rockets were fired at Israel from the besieged enclave. According to Haaretz, Palestinian factions launched five rockets and mortars after dawn.
By Friday midday, one Israeli was moderately wounded by shrapnel in the southern Israeli town of Be'er Sheva.
Targeting Hamas chiefs
According to the Shin Bet, Israel's internal intelligence service, Raed al-Attar and Mohammed Abu Shamaleh were considered the two top commanders in the southern Gaza Strip. Abo Shamaleh organized incursions into southern Israel, while al-Attar was responsible for smuggling weapons and recruiting military personnel in the Rafah area.
All three were killed in Rafah on Thursday. Thousands of Gaza residents participated in their funeral. Seven members of the Kallab and Younis families, killed in Israeli airstrikes, were also mourned at the march.
On Wednesday, the Israeli forces struck the home of Mohammed Deif, leader of the Qassam Brigades—Hamas' military wing. Deif managed to escape the attack that killed his wife and young child.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the offensive in Gaza may be further extended. The Israeli army is currently preparing to rotate in 10,000 fresh new troops.
European ceasefire initiative to the Security Council
Britain, France and Germany brought a new bid to the UN Security Council on Thursday, aiming to halt the six-week long conflict. The document calls for an immediate ceasefire, a lifting of Israel's blockade on the Gaza Strip, and a return of the Palestinian Authority to the enclave, which is now controlled by Hamas.
In addition, the countries proposed a monitoring mechanism for ceasefire violations and the flow of goods to the Gaza Strip. The initiative comes three days after the Egyptian-brokered truce negotiations failed in Cairo.
The United States decided to back the European proposal. An unnamed American diplomat said that both Palestinians and Israelis have privately asked for action from the Security Council, as this would help them "sell it [ending the conflict] internally."
UN Human Rights chief Navi Pillay criticized the UN Security Council on Thursday for its ineffectiveness in the world's conflicts, ranging from Mali to Gaza. According to her, "greater responsiveness would have saved hundreds of lives."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal in Qatar on Thursday. Azzam al-Ahmad, head of the Palestinians delegation in Cairo, senior negotiator Saeb Erekat, and Palestinian intelligence chief Majid Faraj, were also present at the meeting.
More than 2,087 Palestinians have been killed and 10,500 injured during the conflict.

So Long, Folks (and See You Next Week)
Well, folks, are you sitting down?* This is it for me. The end of an era. After four and a half years at Serious Eats/SENY, almost eight years of blabbing on Slice, and six years of intermittent burgering on A Hamburger Today, I'm bidding a fond farewell to you all. Today's my last day at Serious Eats, a site (a group of websites, really) that I'm happy and extremely grateful to have had a part in shaping.
When SE overlord Ed Levine asked me to join him in his rag-tag experiment in up-to-the-minute food journalism, restaurant reviews, recipe-sharing, and overall gabbing about grub, I never imagined it would grow into the resource it is today.
Wait, scratch that. I did imagine it becoming a daily read and an invaluable tool to food lovers everywhere, so I am overwhelmed that the vision shared here by all Serious Eaters — the staff, our contributors, and all our community members alike — has materialized. I want to thank Ed for the opportunity. It's been crazy, challenging, maddening at times, but always extremely rewarding and always a load of serious fun (and, yeah, deliciousness).
And, of course, thanks to all my colleagues here in the office and across the country who have bowled me over with their serious knowledge of food, drink, and restaurant intel. I could go on and on with recollections and anecdotes, but this post would get looooong. Suffice it to say that everyone I've worked with closely here at SE HQ brings something unique and irreplaceable to the experience both on the site and in the office. I'll miss you guys!
Last but not least, I would like to thank my wife, Girl Slice, first for encouraging me to make the leap to Serious Eats in the first place and then for her support and advice during my stay here. I'm sure she'll be happy that from now on the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do before going to bed won't be checking Talk for spam or to see if you rascals in the boards are behaving yourselves!
I can't imagine a day without Serious Eats as part of it.
And I won't have to. I'll still be around.
- On Slice, I'll continue with my weekly pizza reviews, some Daily Slices here and there, and at least once a month dropping in with some sort of pizza-at-home experiment or how-to.**
- On AHT, I'll be rotating in with a monthly NYC burger review
- On the main Serious Eats site, you'll see me pop up whenever I get a bug to explore things like bagel-making, cookie-stuffed cookies, or 7-layer dips
In addition to that, how could I stay away from Talk? You crazy SE'rs are like family. The biggest, most-extended, rollicking family full of smart, funny, talented — and, yes, cantankerous — sumbitches I've ever known. I want to thank you all for the great commentary, recipes, and insights you've shared over the years. And for more or less keeping the level of discourse higher than that of any community forum on the web I've participated in. I can honestly say that I'm starting to ... no, scratch that ... um ... I think I got something in my eye as I started typing this farewell to you crazy SE'rs ;)
So this is less a last goodbye than a "see ya 'round, SE'rs."
For those of you wondering, I'm moving on to become the Social Media Director at nycgo.com, New York City's official tourism marketing organization.
So, What's Up With Slice?
Apart from SE, the one site I'm probably most associated with these days is Slice, where I've been blabbing atcha for ages. Don't worry, pizza nerds, it's in good hands.
As you know, Maggie Hoffman has been editing Slice since October 2010. I want to thank Maggie for the great job she's done in getting Slice running on a tight schedule so that there's plenty of crusty, saucy, cheesy stuff to read from day to day.
Maggie, though, who is also our Drinks editor, will be handing over those duties to incoming Slice editor Meredith Smith. Meredith will be editing posts and directing Slice editorial coverage on May 16. Expect to get to know her better in an upcoming Pizza Obsessives interview.
Meredith will continue Maggie's push toward a well-(olive)oiled machine, and, like everyone who has been involved with Slice, Meredith really "gets" pizza. Her posts from the Boston area are a testament to that, so I know I leave this place in capable hands. Please give her a warm, cheesy welcome when she comes on board!***
So with all that said, folks, it's been a wild ride.
Hasta la pizza*** and see you next week!
* Of course you are! Who reads the internet standing up?
** The powers that be are pushing for a cheeseburger pizza mashup to celebrate National Hamburger Month.
*** Don't get any ideas. That's still MY catchphrase, suckas.
**** And if you don't well, I can't ban you anymore, but I can call you a mean, nasty person in the Comments.

Noah Hamman isn't about to weigh in on the always-controversial active versus passive debate.
The founder and CEO of Active ETF provider AdvisorShares Investments thinks it's rather moot, and sets his sights on a bigger target.
"I'm not trying to convince anyone that an active ETF is better than a passive ETF," he says, when asked to pretend the interviewer is legendary passive investment advocate John Bogle, the Vanguard founder. "I'm instead looking at the $13 trillion in mutual funds, 80% of which are actively managed, and telling them there is a better way."
He notes that when passive ETFs were introduced, passive strategies could be gotten from many different sources. It was the transparency, liquidity and accessibility that gave them their unique value proposition.
"It's the same now with active ETFs. You can get active management anywhere, but active ETFs are more liquid, transparent and have a lower cost than comparable products."
And of course, there's the product's tax efficiency, especially when compared with its mutual fund counterpart.
"For these reasons, active ETFs are attracting more assets at this stage of their development than passive ETFs did at the same point in theirs," he adds.
Hamman points to the number of new products coming available as proof of their popularity, despite recent regulatory hurdles like a moratorium on derivatives.
Hamman knows a little something about the active ETF and alternative investment space. In 2006, he was an equity founding partner of Arrow Investment Advisors, advisor to the Arrow Funds. In the first 24 months of operation, Arrow had $350 million in assets under management and distribution relationships with firms including Merrill Lynch. Before that, Noah was vice president of business development for Rydex Investments.
Giving credence to his active/passive peace plan, Hamman notes that at Rydex, he led the launch of the firm's index-based ETF, commencing with the launch of RSP (Rydex S&P Equal Weight ETF). In addition, he diversified the firm's business and product lines by developing the firm's first buy-and-hold mutual funds.
As for the near-future for active products, Hamman sees a particular type of advisor as the key.
"It will be the fee-based advisors that will drive their growth in large part," he concludes. "The commission-based people will still go for more of A-share and C-share mutual funds, but for the former, it fits."
For direct insights on the role of ETFs in client portfolios from multiple experts—including Rick Ferri, Ron Delegge, Skip Schweiss and more—we invite you to register for AdvisorOne's premiere advisorcentric Virtual ETF Summit, which starts July 23 (and get multiple hours of CFP Board CE).

That was well under the previous record of 3.49 percent, set in July and again last week in the survey by the giant government-supported home finance company.
The typical rate for a 15-year fixed mortgage, 2.73 percent, also set a record low, as did the 2.71 percent start rate for loans that have a fixed rate for five years and then 25 years of adjustable payments.
In the news release announcing the latest weekly survey results, Freddie Mac economist Frank Nothaft said the decline was due largely to Federal Reserve purchases of mortgage securities, the central bank's latest attempt to fire up housing and stimulate the economy.
Freddie Mac asks lenders each week about the terms they are offering to people with solid credit and at least 20 percent down payments or 20 percent equity if they are refinancing.
The borrowers in the survey would have paid an average of 0.6 percent of the loan amount in upfront lender fees and points, Freddie Mac said. The survey does not include additional closing costs, such as for appraisals and title insurance.
Well-qualified borrowers who shop around can often find better rates than those in the survey, and many people pay additional upfront points to reduce their interest rates.

To arrange a suitable day and time to meet support staff in Cranhill Development Trust call free on 0300 123 2898, or text 07393 753 298 or email: email@example.com Free support available: Sending CVs with no response Take an honest look at your CV; does it talk too much about what you're looking for and not enough about what value you can bring to the company? Selling ourselves to employers is hard. Jobs & Business Glasgow can assist you to promote your skills, and highlight your strengths and achievements to ensure you stand out and leave the right impression. Seeking work with no experience It's a catch 22; you want a job but need experience – so how do you get experience if you haven't got a job? Well, there are ways of getting around this, one of which is to take part in Jobs & Business Glasgow work tasters. Work experience will provide greater understanding of job roles and an opportunity to make new contacts; both excellent ways to improve your chances of getting a job. Selling yourself with no confidence The truth is most people aren't comfortable 'selling' themselves at interview; in fact many of us are brought up to believe it's rude to brag. The good news is that you don't need to be fake or dishonest to sell yourself – Jobs & Business Glasgow can help you to identify your key strengths and the best ways to communicate these in short and convincing ways to employers. Succeed in training with no qualifications We don't all manage to leave school with a terrific report card and sometimes we've fallen out of training opportunities because the timing isn't right. For some of us it takes several years before we know what kind of training we would like to do. The good news is there are no time limits to learning and you can take part in training at any age. Jobs & Business Glasgow can assist you to access courses and help you to identify your transferrable skills which you probably don't even know you have. Starting a business with no plan Have you had a good business idea for a while now? You're not alone. Many people sit on their ideas for months or even years before taking action. Some can't find the time to start; some are scared to take the plunge, while others just simply don't know how to set their business idea in motion. Whatever it is holding you back, let Jobs & Business Glasgow mentor and guide you on the right path to success.

Great day at the Salvation Army in Williamsburg, Brooklyn today. To give you an idea of what kind of place this is, they didn't even have a dressing room. When I asked a sales lady where the fitting rooms were, she told me there was some "space" behind the racks; that I could change there. Okay then, so I got undressed behind the rack hoping no men would come in. This dress was waiting patiently for me to rescue it. And yes, it came home with me. For the low. low price of $10.00. Yes, it does look a little "Flowers in the Attic-ish" howev, I'm cutting it short (knee length) and wearing it with cowboy boots. Genius. Didn't want to pay for dry cleaning so I washed and hung to dry myself. Super Genius.
Look at THIS dress. This was brand new with the tags for $10.00. Now, I couldn't get it over my hips howev slid on beautifully over my head. Fits PERFECT! No biggie. For 10 bucks? I'll take it. A great dress for work and super cute with cowboy boots as well. Will transition well into fall.
Stopped by your Salvation Army lately?
I am-The Dress Recycler.

Theme: All is calm, all is bright. The circled letters, in order, spell the word NIGHT; and each letter is silent in both of the down and across words in which it appears. If you didn't get the circles, I don't know how you'd deal with it.
Silent N:
20 A. Spreadsheet figure : COLUMN TOTAL. Typical spreadsheet math.
6 D. "Ave Maria," e.g. : HYMN. A religious song.
Silent I:
25 A. Take by force : SEIZE. Suddenly and Forcible take hold of something.

Silent H:
37 A. Cheering word : RAH. Perhaps shortened from hooray/hoorah, 'cuz we're just that lazy.
32 D. Present day? : CHRISTMAS. The day when Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus. The Magi brought him gifts, and so we give each other gifts. The "present" day can be either today, Christmas Eve, as we celebrate with the Bumpa clan, or Christmas day, as we celebrate with my mom and sister.
Silent T:
54. Clever remark : MOT. Actually BON MOT, the French designation for a witticism.
32 D. Present day? : CHRISTMAS. Making a second appearance, 'cuz - why not? It's that kind of day.
And the unifier:
55 A. Classic 6-Down suggested by this puzzle's circles : SILENT NIGHT.
One might quibble, perhaps, with the degree of silence some of these letters actually present. But let's just go with it. Who but hard/soft G Don Gaglairdo could so exploit the vagaries of the English language, to bring us such a brilliant and timely construction? This is his present day present to all of us.

We hope you will join us on Monday to listen to the uplifting story of Dr. Carol Masheter (former faculty member at University of Utah – and has been with Utah Dept of Health) – who at the age of 65 has experienced great adevntures and continued to show both physical and mental toughness in climbing the highest peaks on each continent. She is an inspiration to us all and gives new definition to the phrase "active aging." See more at her website, and join us Monday, Feb. 27th, noon to 1:00 pm in HSEB 2120.
Dr. Masheter continued to climb in her 60s, first Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America, followed by Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. On May 24, 2008, at age 61 years 7 1/2 months, she became the second oldest woman in the world to summit Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world. If Dr. Masheter summits the Carstensz Pyramid, a steep fin of limestone that rises out of equatorial jungle to over 16,000 feet in elevation next month, she will become the oldest woman in the world to summit the Seven Summits, the highest peak on each continent. Dr. Masheter now enjoys sharing lessons learned from her mountaineering experiences with others. At age 65, she also continues to climb.

Ruslan Tsarni speaks out about his relationship with his nephews, who he says he hasn't seen in years, saying "somebody radicalized them" and "I just wanted my family to be away from them."
The Boston Marathon bombing suspects may have been motivated by shame and hatred, their uncle said Friday at a raw, impromptu press conference.
"Being losers, hatred to those who were able to settle themselves; these are the only reasons I can imagine of. Anything else, anything else to do with religion, with Islam – it's a fraud, it's a fake," Ruslan Tsarni said outside his home in Montomery Village, Md.
Tsarni expressed outrage over the alleged actions of his nephews Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who was at large on Friday – spawning a massive manhunt – and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in a firefight with law enforcement.
"They have brought shame on the entire Chechen ethnicity," Tsarni said of the two young men suspected of carrying out the attack that left three dead and more than 170 injured
Explaining that he had been estranged from his brother and that he had not seen him or his children in years, Tsarni insisted that his nephew's actions had nothing to do Chechnya, and he was visibly angry that the public was drawing that conclusion.
"This has nothing to do with Chechnya. Chechens are peaceful people," he said.
He said that if the young men had become radicalized, it would not have been by his brother, who he said "spent his life bringing bread to their table, fixing cars."
Tsarni, who was visibly shaken, said his nephews had also shamed their family.
The bombing suspects' uncle Ruslan Tsarni pleads for his nephew Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the marathon bombing suspect who is on the loose after his accomplice brother died in a shootout with police, to turn himself in.
"Of course we're ashamed!" he responded to a reporter's questioning. "They are children of my brother – who had little influence over them."
When a reporter asked Tsari about his own feelings towards the United States, he passionately described his love for his adopted country.
"I say, I teach my children and that's what I feel myself: This is the ideal micro-world in the entire world. I respect this country. I love this country. This country – which gives chance to everybody else to be treated as a human being."
Asked what he would say to the younger of the two brothers, Dzhokhar, who was still on the loose, he urged him to turn himself in.
"I say, 'Dzhokhar, if you are alive, turn yourself in. And ask for forgiveness from the victims, from the injured, and from those who left. Ask for forgiveness from these people.'"

Home-Made Dhal
>> Wednesday, May 30, 2012
I'm over-ambitious & I'll admit it. In ONE work-day, mind you, I want to cook & bake for today & tomorrow as well. Crazy, right?
Since I bought some instant canai, I've decided to ambitiously cook my own dhal (when I could buy it from the mamak with less than RM3?). I've no clue on how to cook dhal & have no clue on the ingredients as well. But with great hopes & faith, I bought a packet of dhal beans & some spices that resemble those I've seen in the dhal served with my canai outside. Hahaha.
Anyway, here's to share on my version of dhal, inspired by the many years of indulging in one of Malaysia's "staples". I stir-fry my vegetables like potatoes & carrots first to ensure they soften faster when I cook.
* Makes at least 4 rice bowls of dhal
** I'm basing all measurements on estimation since I seriously don't follow recipes for most of my cooking/dishes. So please estimate it yourself as well ;)
1 rice bowl of dhal beans, soaked overnight so that it softens (I didn't do that, so I blended the dhal beans instead. Pulp-ish dhal beans make very creamy/thick dhal though, which I like)
1/2 a yellow onion, chopped
1/2 large carrot, diced
1 tbsp of mixed Indian spices/"Halba Campuran" in Malay
2 tsp of garlic, chopped
2 tsp of ginger, chopped
1 tsp of cumin
1 tbsp of curry powder
2 stalks of curry leaves
1/2 tsp of chilli powder/flakes (optional: for added spiciness)
Oil for cooking
Salt to taste
Note: You can add eggplants, cauliflower, long/french beans & all sorts of vegetables, but I didn't have those in my fridge, thus I just used the above.
1. Heat pan with 3-4 tbsp of cooking oil with medium high flame.
2. Once the pan it hot, add potatoes & fry for 3-5 minutes 'til it's just a little brownish.
3. Add the carrots & stir-fry 'til slightly cooked.
4. Add the onions & fry 'til fragrant.
5. Add the ginger & garlic, frying it 'til fragrant.
6. Add the Indian spices, curry leaves, curry powder & cumin. Stir-fry for 2 minutes or so. You can add your chilli powder/flakes here too.
7. Add water into the pan, covering the ingredients. Allow to simmer 'til the ingredients are softer, especially the carrots & potatoes. Stir occasionally. Adjust flame to medium.
8. Bring dish to boil, then add in the dhal beans. Keep stirring to ensure the thick dhal dish does not stick at the base of your pan. You can add more water & bring to boil if you find your dhal too thick for your liking.
9. Add salt (and chicken granules for additional fragrance) & allow to boil. For all ingredients to be softer, you can add more water & allow to simmer & boil 'til the amount reduces to half. Remember to keep stirring to avoid the dhal to stick at the base of the pan/get burnt.
10. Once all your ingredients are soft enough for your liking, turn off flame & the dhal is ready to be served!
Bon apetit!
For the instant canai, you can just get those from the supermarket's frozen section. Follow the directions on the packet to prepare your instant canai/pratha. Enjoy!
Note: I'm tired cos I've also prepared a baked chicken dish, portuguese egg tarts & will be preparing pasta & canai (to go with the dhal) for tomorrow's breakfast & lunch at office! It's gonna be a feast! :D Tiring, but satisfying :)
The tired agak-agak chef,
