The Poitou Charentes region is one of France's most popular holiday destinations and is believed to be the second sunniest French region after Provence. Like its neighbour the Dordogne, the Poitou Charentes is notable for glorious countryside. The capital of Charente is the walled city of Angoulême, a lively place to visit with many amenities and an annual World Music Festival. The immediate area offers the wooded valleys of several large rivers including the Charente, and the famous vineyards producing Cognac brandy. Further afield, but within reasonable driving distance are the coastal resorts of the Ile d'Oleron and La Rochelle. The theme park at Poitiers Futuroscope is a major attraction and the Leisure Lake at Saint Estèphe a must-see!
The nearby town of Angoulême offers a fantastic range of fashion and shoe shops, well-stocked supermarkets, food markets, lots of excellent restaurants, bars and cafés, as well as places of interest including its most famous museum which celebrates cartoon characters from Asterix to Peanuts. The museum, in a former brewery, with contemporary high rise and glass additions, houses some 4,000 original drawings and a family-friendly library with English editions. Closer to 'home' in Sers, the next village to Vouzan, there is a bakery, small grocery shop and welcoming bar.

chasing the dream
falling into a scheme
screaming as I fall
nails scratch the wall
going down
wake in a new place
hands reach and rub my face
people come to greet me
and they all agree
I'm not from this land
so they take my hand
and lead me to the queen
(who is quite mean!)
all dressed in red
from toes to head
then I meet an extraordinary man
who tells me how this world began
next to him are a mouse and hare
who go thru life without a care
that is where I meet the cat
who gives the man back his hat
a smile set upon his face
randomly appearing in a different place
taking me to see a girl in white
who asks me to join the fight
against the dragon who roams
the skies above their homes
I must agree
for is my destiny
dressed in my silver suit
ready to beat the brute
his wing flap against my face
why am I in this place!?
my sword comes down in a crash
he had no time to dash
now he's dead and I must leave
but the man grabs my sleeve
and dances a little jig
and tells me that the world's no to big
I give hugs and say goodbye
never shall these memories die
when back at my palace
I spoke my name aloud

"The Monk" is an eccentric period melodrama with horror-flick overtones. Occasionally incoherent but never dull, the movie brims with weird imagery: figures in peaked hoods scurrying across windswept plains, nuns in opaque white veils, a bouquet rapidly wilting and then bursting into blue flames, a baby being pecked by crows. At one point, a group of men march past the camera. They are wearing crowns of candles on their heads; drips of hardened wax cover their shoulders.
Directed and co-written by Dominik Moll, a German-born French filmmaker best known for his clever thrillers ("With A Friend Like Harry," "Lemming"), "The Monk" stars Vincent Cassel as Ambrosio, a Capuchin friar with an ominous hand-shaped birthmark on his shoulder.
Abandoned as a newborn on the steps of a monastery, Ambrosio was raised to be a model monk: pious, perceptive, sensible. A skilled confessor and orator, he is widely admired by his Capuchin brothers and by the townspeople who come to hear his sermons. Cassel gives the character a credible holier-than-thou confidence. He wears a beard that effectively covers half of his face, drawing attention away from his mouth and on to his pensive eyes.
The story of "The Monk" — adapted from Matthew Lewis' influential-though-hardly-classic 1796 novel — is the story of Ambrosio's descent into sin and madness. It's lurid, silly, strange stuff — murder, incest, pacts with the devil — so it should come as no surprise that Lewis' novel was a Surrealist favorite. Luis Bunuel even tried to make it into a movie. Though Bunuel never managed to get his version financed, the Surrealist critic and filmmaker Ado Kyrou eventually made an interesting film — starring spaghetti Western icon Franco Nero, of all people — based on Bunuel's script.
Moll's version flirts with Surrealism without ever quite giving the impression that it's a work of art; his take on "The Monk" is, first and foremost, a classy B-movie, keen to offer Gothic atmosphere, nudity, and mild shocks. In some ways, it resembles a Hammer horror flick (think "Curse of Frankenstein" or the Christopher Lee "Dracula") — except that the Hammer movies were visually opulent and "The Monk" is often austere and grayish. Interiors are dim and shadowy, which fits the 16th century setting. The costuming isn't gaudy or over-stylized. During its first 15 or so minutes, it would be easy to mistake "The Monk" for a restrained religious drama.
At around the 15-minute mark, however, Ambrosio recounts a dream — a vision of a woman in red who doesn't show her face — to a fellow monk, and the movie effectively enters a dream state which it never leaves. Every subsequent scene inches the dream further and further into nightmare. The visuals become more adventurous; Moll plays around with superimposed images, diffuse light, silent-movie-style iris shots, and even throws in a few theatrical lighting tricks — a spotlight pointing out a character in a crowd, for instance.
Oddly, as "The Monk" becomes more imaginative, its plot — a lot of twisty intrigue involving a masked leper who lives at the monastery and a young aristocrat's courtship of a woman who admires Ambrosio — becomes less engaging. By the end, it's hard to care for Ambrosio or his fall from grace; he has been marginalized by the imagery.

Xerneas is 9'10" and weighs 474 lbs. Its appearance is inspired by the letter X. This Fairy Pokemon may incorporate elements of the four stags Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr, and Duraþrór. According to the Poetic Edda, the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree Yggdrasill. Legends say it can share eternal life when it shines its horns in seven different colors. In addition to having superb HP, ATK, and SPEC. ATK, its ability, Fairy Aura, boosts the power of any Fairy-type attacks. It knows Geomancy, which causes it to charge on the first turn, then increase its SPEC. ATK as well as SPEC. DEF on the next turn by two stages, Horn Leech, the physical version of Giga Drain, and Moonblast, which borrows power from above to strike the target hard.
Yveltal is 19 feet tall while weighing 447.5 lbs. It is based on an avian in the shape of the letter Y, as well as the giant Hræsvelgr, or "Corpse Swallower," which takes the form of an eagle sitting at the end of the world, creating wind as it flaps its wings. This Dark/Flying Pokemon may also be based on the hawk Veðrfölnir. According to the Poetic Edda, the unnamed eagle resided at the top of the world tree Yggdrasil, with Veðrfölnir sitting between its eyes. When its life comes to an end, it absorbs the life energy of every living thing to turn into a cocoon so it can be "reborn." Its ability, Dark Aura, enhances the strength of all Dark-type moves on the field. It can use Phantom Force, causing it to vanish&rendering it semi-invunerable, then hitting the foe even if it used Protect or King's Shield, and Oblivion Wing, which is an attack the saps more than half of the damage dealt to the opponent back to the user's HP.

Outdoor Grilling:Filipino Bibingka Rice Cakes with Coconut & Banana Leaves
Is it possible to long for Christmas memories in July?
The aroma of the burnt banana leaves flew around our backyard. It was the smell of a burning sweet leaf mixed with the aromas of butter and coconut that hit me. The soft breeze escalated the food fragrances and brought back poignant memories of Christmas when I was growing up.
How is it possible to miss Christmas when it is only July, and the day has a torridly hot 101 degree temperature?
A bibingka can do that to me (say "bee-bing-ka"). This is a rice cake that has grounded sweet rice, eggs, butter, coconut, flour, two kinds of cheeses and wrapped in a bundle of banana leaves. Traditionally it is cooked in an outdoor clay pot with fire kindled from both under and over it. It is also a very traditional holiday cake in the Philippines and typically cooked in December when the tropical weather gets cooler. It is a time honored rice cake and recipes have been passed on for generations.
One of the pioneers of Philippine cuisine and food writing, the late Doreen Gamboa Fernandez described this delectable rice cake well : "Baking, as of bibingka, was done by putting heat on top (as well as below) — glowing coals on the clay pot or skillet lid."
IACP award winning cookbook author, Amy Besa, owner of the Filipino restaurant "Purple Yam" in NYC, another noted authority on Philippine food described the bibingka's method of cooking as "a type of baking that requires very high heat at the top with low heat at the bottom, which gives bibingkas their characteristic caramelized tops."
I remember seeing the authentic, original way bibingka was baked, from when I was growing up in the Philippines and Amy Besa described it well in her cookbook "Memories of Philippine Kitchens" when she said this : " Since most people in the rural areas in the Philippines do not have ovens, many local bibingka makers form a makeshift oven. The bibingka is baked in a pan lined with banana leaf over a low fire, covered with a metal sheet with a burning coconut husk, wood, pili shells (a type of nut), or hot coals heaped on top. This method defines the concept of bibingka."
Even if my family and I have lived in the USA for over twenty years, I have not forgotten my roots and have kept our heritage alive by continuously cooking Filipino recipes for our daily meals, most especially Sunday suppers.
I had been cooking outdoors this summer using banana leaves on different dishes. I've wrapped fish, meat, vegetables and rice cake desserts with banana leaves and grilled them. I love the sweet scent of a burnt banana leaf. I love to touch the crisp, blackened edges of the leaves as it gets off the grill. I love to unwrap what I just cooked with the banana leaves. I love to watch the steam of the cooked food burst out when I open the leaf. Best of all, I love the moist, tender flavors preserved within the ingredients which a banana leaf so superbly does.
So this hot July month, during one of our family cookouts, I decided to recreate a bibingka, even if it was not Christmas yet. I just had to sniff the scent right this minute. Even my family agreed. When we sat down to our regular family Sunday Supper, we had this bibingka right there along with the rest of our entrees.
As it came straight off the grill, and I unwrapped the banana leaves, the familiar fragrance gripped me, like a hug from an old friend I've missed. The site of that slab of melting butter in the middle, caressed by the grated coconut tendrils, just drew everyone around the supper table. The rich butter and cheeses melted on the rich sweet rice cake and in the process warmed our hearts.
Like the banana leaf that held the cake together, the bibingka rice cake reminded us of the many Sunday Suppers we've celebrated that has been our family's core always.
Filipino Rice Cake with Coconut & Banana Leaves : Bibingka
*Recipe from "Memories of Philippine Kitchens" by Amy Besa & Romy Dorotan
Makes 2 large rice cakes, each in a 9-inch pie pan
For the Galapong (rice batter):
1 and 3/4 cups sweet rice, soak overnight in water (from Asian markets)
1 and 1/2 cups galapong (rice batter)
1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, separated
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup whole milk
1 salted egg, quartered, optional (found in Asian groceries)
1/2 cup grated Gouda cheese
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, for brushing
Banana leaves, for lining baking pans (found in Asian groceries, freezer section)
- For the galapong, rinse the rice under cold running water, drain, and place in a medium bowl with cold water to cover. Refrigerate overnight. Drain and rinse again, then drain in a colander for 30 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and process until the mixture is finely grounded, about 1 minute, scraping the sides of the processor and process again, then work again through the sieve. You should have about 1 and 1/2 cups galapong (discard any extra)
- For the bibingka, preheat the oven to 425 F, and two 9-inch pie pans with parchment paper rounds.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, the baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the galapong and whisk to combine and break up any lumps (use hands to break the lumps if needed). Stir in the egg yolks, coconut milk, and milk.
- In the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold the whites into the galapong mixture.
- Line each pan with banana leaves. Cut the banana leaves to fit into the pan. Grease the banana leaves with softened butter. Divide the mixture between the lined pans. If you're using salted eggs, nestle a quarter into the middle of each cake. Sprinkle each cake with 2 tablespoons of the Gouda, followed by 2 tablespoons of the feta, and finally 1 teaspoon of the sugar.
- Set the cakes on the top rack of the oven, and bake until firm and set and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes. If the bibingkas are set but not browned, preheat the broiler and broil them about 6 inches from the heat source, watching carefully, until bubbly and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
- Brush the bibingka with the melted butter while still warm. Let cool slightly and serve straight from the pans. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Dr. Know soothes the worried parents of Oxford undergrads with this response from the October 2012 issue.
Fact or fiction: was a Miami University student abducted from his dorm room in the 1950s? It seems like such a safe place that it's hard to believe this is anything but a tale made up to scare freshmen. Or their parents. —Nervous Father
Dear Father:It is fact-based fiction. Abduction is the fiction part. Or might be. What is fact is that on an evening in April 1953, 19-year-old Cleveland native and MU student Ronald Henry Tammen—an unremarkable fraternity member (Delta Tau Delta if you must know), wrestler, jazz band player, and ROTC cadet who had been seen studying in his room by the dorm mother—was, when his roommate returned, no longer there. Wallet was there. Car keys were there. Psych book was open. Ronald Tammen was gone. Forever.
He's gone still. There was no evidence suggesting that Tammen was abducted, whether by aliens, communists, or Sigma Alpha Epsilons. But maybe even that is wrong. Maybe there was evidence. Remember that this was 59 years ago, when detectives routinely walked into crime scenes flicking ashes from their Camels into blood puddles and routinely ground critical follicular cells into the linoleum with the thick soles of their Florsheim longwings. In those simpler times, there were no charge card purchases to dig into and no ATM withdrawals to trace because there were no Visas and no ATMs. There were no cell phone calls to track down because there were no cell phones. Theories abounded, of course. This is America. But no theory led to any discovery of anything.
In short, the disappearance of Ronald Tammen was not made up to scare freshmen or their parents. Still, Miami parents remain among the most protective in the nation, probably as a result of that long ago event.

The consistent lack of news coming from either the NFL or the Players association is a good sign that the two sides are narrowing their differences on how to slice that 9 billion dollar pie. The leaks are indicating that we should be talking about free agents in the second week in July.
Is it any wonder that the talks have been going smoothly since the lawyers were told to stand down? Did anybody really think that the players were going to miss any paychecks, or that the owners were going to miss out on the chance to charge fans for USELESS preseason games? Sanity has prevailed.
Why wait a couple of weeks to talk about the free agents? Lets get something straight right now before that on-coming train of available talent hits the market. There is only ONE name that will have the same impact on the Lions that the top three picks did in the draft. Someone who is going to make the NFL say, "Damn, they did it again!" His name is Nnamdi Asomugha; it's actually a easier name to type than speak.
Asomugha is pretty anonymous for a superstar, but the Lions surely know about one of the best shutdown corners in the league. He is the rare corner that can, flipping through my cliche notebook, "shut down half of the field." He is also in the prime of his career, having played eight years in Oakland, and has a good four or five left in his 29 year old body.
I didn't really think that the Lions had a chance to land him, but a quote released June 21st by NFL.com quotes Gil Brandt as saying that they have a great chance to recruit him to wear a Lions uniform next season. This man knows what he's talking about. When he ran the Dallas Cowboys scouting dept., a fifth round pick of the Cowboys was the equivalent of a third round pick by another team. He said the Eagles and Texans aren't the only front runners in the Asomugha sweepstakes. He listed the Lions as another attractive option: " I wouldn't be surprised at all if they [Lions] make a big play for Asomugha," Brandt said, "and I think he would consider the situation in Detroit and playing for Jim Schwartz who has won the respect of his team. A cornerbacks best friend is a great defensive line, and right now the Lions have pretty good group of defensive lineman." He goes on the say that he thinks the Oakland Raiders have a chance to re-sign him.
I don't think that the Raiders are going to sign him, otherwise he wouldn't have put himself out there. After 8 years of working for Weird Al Davis, he probably feels like he can't get far enough away. I know that the Texans have Mario Williams to dangle in his face, but are the Texans really that close to being something special in this league? I still don't take the team seriously. The Eagles have a long tradition of strong corners, and that legacy might appeal to him. They are also a perennial playoff contender with an ALWAYS tough defense. At that franchise he would be merely slipping in and keeping the machine well oiled.
Going to the Lions would be a bold move that would draw him a lot of attention. I always thought that one of the main appeals in this situation would be going to a team where the free agent can be the "Difference Maker", the one that puts the team over the top. If you've read anything I've written, you'll know that I think the Lions are on the brink of crashing the NFL party and taking to the prettiest girl in the room. Sure, that defense still needs linebackers, but if Chris Houston returns to the team with Asomugha, and a healthy Louis Delmas, suddenly that backfield doesn't look too shabby. Don't forget that the Lions are extremely high on Aaron Berry and expect him to help out a lot next year.
Lastly, playing behind perhaps the most dominant defensive line in football will hopefully have number #21 thinking that he could become the stuff of legend, the player who turned the key on a drive to the Super Bowl.

Shark Week is halfway over, but things IRL are getting weird. Wondering why everyone is talking about a dead shark on Twitter today? It's because this baby shark was found decomposing on an Astoria-bound NYC subway last night. RIP, little carnivore.
In other shark news, Megalodon isn't real. And the Internet is pretty angry at Discovery Channel for making it seem like "science" said it was.

Today scientists cooked the first stem-cell-derived hamburger. Sounds gross, but then think about that image at the beginning of "Under the Dome" where the cow gets sheered in half and its blood and guts are oozing out, and remember that's how real meat basically gets made. So maybe braiding together petri-dish fibers until you get a patty is not so gross after all. I'm actually really excited about this.
Check out the images of making and cooking the first humane beef here.

LED Candles
LED candles are the most realistic non-flame candles we've seen on the market yet, and have the distinction of being greener in general because of lifespan and limited use of electricity to light.
We've brought you candles you can blow on as well as off, but we wanted to let you know about some of the additional options out there.
The Philips Aurelle line comes up when you search Amazon for LED candles, and these little tea light holders and tea light candles are rechargeable, and mask the fact that you don't have a real candle in the holder.
Do you have experience with LED candles? Let us know what you think in the comments!
They come in square, round and triangle holders and retail for $14.95 each, though if you buy a 10-pack at $200, that reduces the price to just $10 each. Also note that the triangle holder retails for $20, but the 10-pack is still only $200. You could also place the tea lights in your own holders.
BestNest has a wide selection of LED candles with a built-in LED, and come in a variety of sizes (up to 12" tall), colors, and multiple shapes (round, square, twist, stacked and hurricane).
Another option for tea lights and holders is the Viatek Rechargeable Candles which come with a round holder. These are $37.48 for a 6-pack. They are 4.25" tall by 2.25" wide.
A final option is Hampton Bay's 3-candle set, which oddly has a wick that doesn't light up (it's metal, so someone can't accidentally light the "wick")--we think these look great, except for the oddness of the wick. This 3-candle set is available at Home Depot for $30, and a detailed review by an LED aficionado is available through the link.

I was at a wedding where the centrepieces were lit with LED tealights and there was something strangely spooky about the way they flickered.
There's a restaurant in my old neighborhood that had these on the tables. I went there for years and didn't realize for a long time that they weren't real, oxygen-required, something's burning candles. Very convincing. If I liked candles more, maybe I'd consider some myself.
we've cats. 3 cats. they see something flickering and they can't keep their paws to themselves. sometimes we'd have to grab something to eat or go upstairs for a few minutes and we'd have to blow off our tealights, turn them on again when we came back, long story short we found a few of the LED ones at Walgreens so we said wth, why not? Ever since, we've used them for many occasions from our special outdoor get togethers, to the mundane everyday indoors and nobody notices they're faux, thought they certainly notice how much fun and lived in the place looks with just a few candles. The cats love'em too.

Hey guys and gals!
Hope you've all had a Merry Christmas, Hanukah or whatever you choose to celebrate over this festive period and are preparing for your New years celebrations!
I just wanted to drop in and say I haven't forgot about Not Another Rat despite this being posted on a Friday and not a Wednesday.
I'm finally on holidays for the first time since my America trip last September and I'm taking some much needed time to rest, refocus and set myself up right for the biggest year of my life.
I have some really big plans for Not Another Rat, which I hope to have released by February. I'll also be looking to obtain more freelance clients and turn a dream into a reality by finally leaving the 9-5 again but this time – once and for all!
The list really could go on of what I plan to achieve in 2014 but that'll be a post for another time.
Posting will return to normal as of January 8th and the year will be well and truly started with only success on my mind.
I hope you all are using this time to think, plan, get motivated and fully prepared for the new year to ensure all your goals become realities.
Until January 8th – Have a great new years and I'll see you guys in 2014!

The Area at a Glance
Found within the Vermilion River basin is the first prairie restoration nature preserve, the first river nature preserve, the first park reclaimed from strip-mined land and Illinois' only National Wild and Scenic River.
The Illinois portion of the Vermilion River basin is found along the Illinois/Indiana border and includes both the Vermilion and Little Vermilion river systems. The basin encompasses most of Vermilion County and portions of Champaign, Ford, Iroquois, Livingston, and Edgar counties.
The area's land surface is a flat, hummocky plain broken only by low morainal ridges. Valleys and ravines have been carved by the Vermilion River and its tributaries, some 50 to 100 feet deep, with sides so precipitous that little or no vegetation is found on them.
Unusual features of the Vermilion basin include calcareous seep' springs, tulip trees growing in the beech-maple forests of the ravines and adjacent uplands, oak savannas, and the occasional hill prairies on west-facing blufftops.
Today, cropland is the principal land cover in the area, representing 76.7% of the total surface area.
Only 4.3% (41,273 acres) of the area is composed of forest and woodland cover, most of which is concentrated on the steeper sideslopes of the Middle Fork, Salt Fork, and North Fork tributaries.
Wetlands cover only 1.0% (9,438 acres) of the total surface of the area, compared with 3.5% of the total area of the state. The paucity of wetland habitat attests to the extensive cultivation of the area.
Eight streams in the Vermilion River basin are recognized as Biologically Significant because they support threatened or endangered species or have high mussel and fish diversity. These segments, some of which include the entire stream, cover 190.97 miles.
The Middle Fork is Illinois' only National Wild and Scenic River, a designation based on its outstanding scenic, ecological, recreational, and historical characteristics.
Portions of two subbasins, the Middle Fork and the lower subbasin of the Vermilion River, have been designated "Resource Rich" areas because they contain significant natural community diversity.
Two geological time periods are well-represented here, the Pennsylvanian [the age of coal) and the Quaternary [the age of glaciers). The bedrock strata that immediately underlie most of the surficial materials in the Vermilion River area are Pennsylvanian in age, while the landscape features of the area result from the multiple glacial advances across the region. The glaciers left moraines, terraces, kames, an entrenched meander, and sand dunes.
East of Rossville is an area of sand that has been blown into dunes. Sand dunes in the middle of a field might at first glance appear odd, but these are the result of glacial ice. They were caused when the valey of the North Fork filled in with outwash from a melting glacier or with valley train deposits (outwash that has been deposited in a stream valley) from the draining of ancient lake Watseka.
The archaeological database indicates that the region was continuously occupied for the last 12,000 yeors. A total of 913 archaeological sites have been recorded here. In the sites discovered so far two periods dominate: Woodland (1000 B.C-300 AD.) and Mississippian (900 A.D.).
A cluster of Late Woodland settlements and a platform mound covering more than 42 acres (the Collins Site) is situated on a Middle Fork River terrace remnant. It has been identified as a major Late Woodland and Mississippian ceremonial complex and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The salt works were the nucleus of Vermilion County's First settlements. The first permanent settlement was established at Butler's Point, west of Catlin, in 1821.
In terms of both employment and earnings, the economy of Vermilion County has declined. For the past 25 years employment has fallen an average of 0.2% annually, while statewide it has grown 1.2%.
Vermilion County has 87% of its land in agriculture and ranks sixth in the state in the amount of cropland. Corn and soybeans dominate with Vermilion County ranking in the top ten statewide in the production of both.
Almost one percent (0.66%1 of the Vermilion area has been set aside as state parks, fish and wildlife areas, and forest preserves. County parks total over 8,200 acres while state lands include one state park (2,850 acres) and one fish and wildlife area (4,220 acres). Eleven sites totaling 522 acres are dedicated as Illinois Nature Preserves.
Kickapoo State Park, located west of Danville, was the first park in the nation to be built on strip-mined land.
Around 1820, about 85% of the Vermilion River area was prairie and 15% was forest/savanna. The total area of presettlement wetlands was belween 42-45%; the majority of these lands were prairie potholes and wet prairie.
Within the entire Vermilion River area, only 185.1 acres, 0.019% ,remain in an undegraded, high-quality, ecological condition. Habitat loss for prairie and we and have exceeded the rates for the state as a whole, while forest habitat loss has occurred at the same rate.
Three remnants of high quality prairie total 8.6 acres, 0.001% of the basin.
Of the original system of timber belts that followed the Vermilion and its tributaries, 5.2% (49,278 acres) remain. One hundred and twentyfour acres of high quality mesic upland forest remain, 11.7% of the statewide total.
One percent (9,438 acres) of the area is wetlands, but only 15 acres are high quality and undegraded. These 15 acres occur as seeps, wetland communities characterized by a constant diffuse Row of ground water. One of these is a calcareous (alkaline) seep and is home ta Wolf's bluegrass, an endangered species.
A plant community not normally found is the eroding bluff community, a vertical exposure of eroded material, such as glacial drift, maintained by the erosive action of streams. Four and a half acres of this community, representing 15% of the undegraded eroding bluff community in Illinois, are associated with the Salt Fork.
Twenty-eight percent of the state's flora [908 taxa] grow in the Vermilion River area. Four state-threatened [fibrous-rooted sedge, drooping sedge, W,lldenow's sedge, and false hellebore] and two state-endangered plants (Wolf's bluegrass and queen of the prairie) are found here.
At least 270 bird species regularly occur in the basin, 90% of the 300 bird species known to occur In Illinois. Of these, 140 breed or formerly bred here. Currently four stateendangered species [northern harrier, upland sandpiper, short-eared owl, and Henslow's sparrow] and five state-threatened species [pied-billed grebe, least bittern, red-shouldered hawk, brown creeper, and loggerhead shrike) breed here.
The wild turkey, once extirpated, has been successfully reestablished, especially along the Middle Fork and Big and Little Vermilion River valleys where it nests in shrublands and prairies adjacent to forest.
Forty-six (78%) of the state's 59 mammal species are known from the basin and two of these are listed species - the federally-endangered Indiana bat and the state-threatened river otter.
Twenty-three amphibian and 27 reptile species occur here, representing 57% of the amphibians and 45% of the reptiles that regularly occur in the state. The state-endangered silvery salamander (the Middle Fork Woods Nature Preserve harbors the state's only native colony), and the state-threatened four-toed salamander are known to exist here.
The status of the state-threatened Kirtland's snake is uncertain, but the state-endangered eastern massasauga has been extirpated from the area due to the draining of prairie wetlands.
The Vermilion River and its tributaries support a large diversity of aquatic species: 97 species of fishes, 45 species of mussels, 16 species of large crustaceans, and 540 species of aquatic macroinvertebrates.
Listed species include the statethreatened river red horse and the state-endangered bigeye chub, bigeye shiner, river chub, northern madtom, Iowa darter, eastern sand darter, and bluebreast darter. The bluebreast darter is found in Illinois only within the Vermilion River area and is the westernmost location known for this fish.
The North Fork Vermilion River supports the greatest concentration of rare, threatened, or endangered mussels in Illinois and its protection is crucial to the continued survival of those species.
A ten square mile area in Vermilion County supports as many freshwater mussel species as the entire Illinois River. Ten endangered mussel species are still thought to be present in the drainage; many of these are found nowhere else in Illinois.
While serious ecological problems still threaten the Iongterm maintenance of biodiversity in the area habitat fragmentation, habitat degradation, exotic species invasion, and fire absence - several groups are working on restoring habitat and rehabilitating the area. For example, The Nature Conservancy's Volunteer Stewards, the Vermilion County Conservation District, and Grand Prairie Friends hold work days to implement exotic species control and to conduct prescribed burning in nature preserves and natural areas.

Xavier included in 2008 edition of Princeton Review college guide
Recognition comes days after U.S. News & World Report ranked Xavier No. 2 among 140 Midwest colleges and universities
08/21/07The University is once again being recognized as one of the best colleges in the nation by The Princeton Review. The New York-based education services company features Xavier in the new 2008 edition of its annual book, "Best 366 Colleges." The recognition comes just days after U.S. News & World Report ranked Xavier No. 2 among 140 Midwest colleges and universities.
Only about 15 percent of the four-year colleges in America and two Canadian colleges were chosen for the book. It has two-page profiles of the schools and student survey-based ranking lists of top 20 colleges in more than 60 categories.
"We chose schools for this book primarily for their outstanding academics," says Robert Franek, Princeton Review's vice president of publishing. "We evaluated them based on institutional data we collect about the schools, feedback from students attending them, and our visits to schools over the years. We also consider the opinions of independent college counselors, students, and parents we hear from year-long. Finally, we work to have a wide representation of colleges in the book by region, size, selectivity and character."
The ranking lists in the 2008 edition of "Best 366 Colleges" are based on The Princeton Review's survey of 120,000 students (about 325 per campus on average) attending the 366 colleges in the book. A college's appearance on these lists is attributable to a high consensus among its surveyed students about the subject. The 80-question survey asked students to rate their schools on several topics and report on their campus experiences at them. Ranking lists report the top 20 schools in categories that range from best professors, administration, and campus food to lists based on student body political leanings, race/class relations, sports interests, and other aspects of campus life. The Princeton Review does not rank the colleges in the book 1 to 366 in any single category, nor do the rankings reflect The Princeton Review's opinion of the schools.

As of Monday, March 4, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Chris Johnson went 3-for-3 with a home run and Justin Upton also homered for the second time this spring as the Braves improved to 5-6 in the Grapefruit League with a 4-2 victory over the New York Mets on Monday.
Johnson, battling Juan Francisco for playing time at third base, is hitting .421 and has played first base as well as third. Francisco was 1-for-3 against the Mets, keeping his average at .333.
Tyler Pastornicky was 2-for-3 with his seventh RBI of the spring and like Johnson is hitting .421.
The hitting standout of the spring, though, remains Joey Terdoslavich. He was 1-for-1 after entering the game late against the Mets, raising his average to .647.
Tim Hudson pitched four innings for the Braves and allowed two runs on six hits. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter.
Luis Avilan and David Carpenter had hitless innings and David Hale allowed a hit over two scoreless innings before 2012 first-round draft choice Alex Wood got the save with a game-ending double play.

Fennel and Comice Pear Soup
Monica Buck
Fennel, also called sweet anise or finocchio, is crunchy and has a lovely anisey flavor. It has three distinct parts: the stalks, the feathery fronds (which can be used as an herb), and the pale green bulbs. Comice pears are large and very sweet and juicy. Together they make a perfect seasonal first course.
Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings
- 2 fresh fennel bulbs
- 1 yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 Comice pears (peeled and coarsely chopped)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- salt
- white pepper
- freshly ground black pepper
- Trim base and stalks from fennel bulbs, reserving a few leaves for garnish. Coarsely chop bulbs.
- In a medium pan, combine chopped fennel, onion, butter, and 2 tbsp. water; cover and cook over medium-high heat until vegetables are limp, 5 to 7 minutes. Add pears and chicken broth; cover and simmer until pears are soft, about 5 minutes. Purée the mixture in a blender, in batches if necessary.
- Return soup to pan to reheat. If it's too thick, add a little more broth. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with fennel fronds and freshly ground black pepper.

The best place to stay is definitely The Queen of Spades (Macakizi) Hotel and the food is also excellent.Just a 15 min. car ride outside of Bodrum downtown: Turkbuku village offers the best standards of the Istanbul Jetset without the rush of Istanbul.

THE ALARA Located in the pretty seaside village of Torba, the Alara is a traditional Turkish tavern with an Ottoman-style front bar and a bayside dining room. The restaurant specializes in local seafood, chosen from a fresh fish counter and simply grilled. There is also an interesting selection of regional mezes (Turkish tapas). Relaxed, fairly priced and incredibly atmospheric. Well worth a day-trip out of Bodrum Town (approximately 5 kms).

What Can I Make With Key Limes (Besides Key Lime Pie)?
Ingredient Questions
Q: I was recently given nine key limes. I am wondering what, besides key lime pie, are some good recipes to use them up. We have young children, so would like to make something they might like too.
Sent by Lauren
Editor: Readers, what are your favorite recipes for key limes? Any suggestions?

Lime Meltaway cookies! I have never made them myself, but I have eaten the fruits of others' labor and they are tasty.
You could candy them, as with candied oranges. Or make a lime cake, adapting a recipe for lemon cake, which shouldn't be too hard to find. If it were me, I might make a scallop ceviche, but that probably wouldn't be terribly popular with the children.
Key lime bars - just sub in the lime in any lemon bar recipe.
Or go more savory and just squeeze them over shrimp.
I made these key lime cupcakes for St Patrick's Day, and they were great.
Lime/strawberry paletas or popsicles
Lime meringue pie! Or go Caribbean and squeeze them over shrimp, fish, or chicken on the grill. Serve with coconut rice and garlicky salad or steamed greens. Can you say hello, summer?
I just made a gelatin-free mousse with the last of my bag of coveted meyer lemons. I think it would work with limes, too! I had a hint of rosemary and black pepper in mine, but you could easily leave those out if you don't think they'd work with limes.
key limes are pretty small so you won't get too much juice out of 9 of them... I vote candying them

5,000 - 10,000 downloadsAdd this app to your listsTweets por @AppsZoom
With AutoRemote you have full control of your phone, from wherever you are by sending push notifications to your phone and reacting to them in Tasker or AutoRemote standalone apps!
Please don't leave negative feedback without contacting me first. I'll always do my best to help you, and I can't do that if I can't contact you.
AutoRemote is an amazingly flexible remote control system, them gives an unprecedented level of control. So, for example, you could control your PC or Chrome Browser from your Android device, control your Android device from hundreds of web services (like Facebook or Twitter for example), or even your Linux PC from anywhere. The possibilities are endless and you decide what and how things work remotely!
Check out everything you can do with AutoRemote here: http://joaoapps.com/autoremote/what-it-is/
Make sure you click the AutoRemote menu button at the top for a full list of possibilities.
Here's a must see video for anyone starting out with AutoRemote: http://goo.gl/RYCTh
This is how it works:
- Send an AutoRemote message from a web browser, your desktop, EventGhost, Chrome, Zapier, or any place where you can call an URL
- Setup an AutoRemote profile in Tasker to react to the message
- Do whatever you like with that message!
Check out the Quickstart guide (http://goo.gl/OhZsg)
Also, check out an awesome AutoRemote guide here: http://goo.gl/aNfuA
With device-to-device or PC-to-device messaging, you can control one of your devices from another device or even from your PC! And with a Tasker plugin to send messages via AutoRemote, you can have full bi-directional messaging!
Imagine requesting your phone's location and have it displayed in a map on your tablet or PC.
You can also directly Share links or text to another device via the regular Share menu in Android! Imagine you are checking out a YouTube video on your phone, and directly open it on your bigger Tablet screen for better viewing!
With AutoRemote you have advanced matching options and a flexible command system (see how it works here: http://goo.gl/PRQas). It works just like with joaomgcd's AutoBarcode app!
See many use case examples here, including AutoRemote uses for saving lives and keeping in touch with your loved ones: http://goo.gl/3mFgz
Possible uses for AutoRemote(all these uses are fully customizable. You are free to use any other words or commands):
Can't remember where you put your phone? Create a lost-my-phone" command:
You could send a "Where are you?" message to your phone, and have Tasker respond with a repetitive "I'm here! I'm here!".
Let your wife send you a spoken shopping list when you get off work:
You can use AutoRemote with other Tasker conditions, such as the Date and Time conditions. Create a "shop=:=" command and combine it with a 5PM condition. Then, share your personal AutoRemote URL with your wife and have her send stuff she needs you to buy like "shop=:=carrots and ice cream". Then, at 5PM your phone could say that list out loud: "You need to go shopping! You need to buy carrots and ice cream"
Find my Phone:
Send a "location" command and have your phone respond with its location via AutoRemote to another Android device, or simply SMS to any phone
And many many more! Your imagination is the limit!
Tags: autoremote, autoremote api, autoremote target, autoremote tasker, where can i autoremote for tasker, autoremote register linux, best autoremote use, autoremote for windows send, autoremote social, autoremote demo.

Threat Description
X97M/Anis is a simple Excel macro virus.
Automatic Disinfection
Allow F-Secure Anti-Virus to disinfect the relevant files.
For more general information on disinfection, please see Removal Instructions.
Technical Details
When an infected workbook is opened, X97M/Anis.A creates "AutoRun.xla" into Excel's startup directory and infects it.
The virus infects all workbooks that are opened, closed or saved.
It attempts to disable items from the "Tools" menu and attempts to hook items in the "File" menu.
Anis has two different payloads. When saving a workbook or exiting the program it checks if the current day is 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th or 30th, and if so, it shuts down Windows. The virus also displays a message on 26th of every month, written in Japanese. Therefore message is not readable on versions of Excel that do not support doublebyte characters, such as the the English version.
This variant does not infect workbooks when an infected workbook is opened. Otherwise it is identical to X97M/Anis.A.
Anis.D variant is slightly modified Anis.C. Functionally it is similar to Anis.C
F-Secure Anti-Virus detects Anis.C since June 14th, 2002 and Anis.D since August 5th, 2002.

Peanut-Free/Nut-Free Directory
Our directory is intended as a resource for people with peanut and nut allergies. It contains foods, helpful products, and much more.
Some people cannot drink beer because they are allergic to the hops used to produce this popular drink.
Hops look similar to small pine cones. The flowers are dried before being used in beer production. The pollen from hops causes an allergic reaction in some people.
They are sometimes referred to as bitters because they combine with the sugar from grain to give beer its balanced, characteristic flavor. Hops are added toward the end of the beer-making process.
People with an allergy to hops may believe that they are allergic to beer. In reality, the pollen from the hops causes an allergy in some people.
A hop allergy is usually fairly mild, but it can cause a lot of discomfort. An allergy can cause a skin rash or a sinus problem with swelling and pain. It can also result in a runny nose, sneezing, or congestion after drinking beer.
People who work in beer production sometimes develop an allergy to hops. They may have trouble breathing while on the job. When they touch hops, they may develop a rash on their hands or arms. Someone with a severe allergy would not be able to continue working with this plant that causes an allergic reaction every day.
Hops can cause hives, facial swelling, and swelling of the mouth and tongue. These are signs of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening whole-body reaction that causes trouble breathing and swelling in the throat. Emergency medical treatment is required if you or someone you are with has these symptoms.
Hop allergies are caused from hop pollen, which can affect people who drink beer. Some people say that certain beer brands that use high quantities of hops are more likely to cause allergic reactions. You can take non-drowsy Benadryl or another antihistamine to relive some of the allergic reaction symptoms if this happens to you.
The only way to avoid having an allergic reaction to hops is to avoid foods containing hops. If you develop sinus problems or other allergic reactions after drinking beer, you are probably not allergic to beer but to the hops in it.

mt faith for this game has gone up 200%
Thanks for the support ghost59. We are happy to have it. :)
We are happy to announce that Darkstorm Entertainment will be using the Crytek Engine for development of Cyguard: Hammerhead Rising. The Crytek Engine has been used to make such great games as Far Cry, Crysis, Crysis 2, Ryse, and Warface. We are excited about using this great engine and will be releasing new information soon.
Been a while since I updated this and for that I apologize. We have hashed out the options in the Game Design Doc, began recruiting new members, and doubled our efforts to make this a reality for everyone to enjoy. Updates should come more regularly very very soon. Thanks for the support from everyone.
New screenshots of some of the items developed for Cyguard 7G are now up on our topic. Lots of model work being done at this point and the weapons have been coded for use in our game.
New images added to the page. One is the hardsuit used by Cyguard, rendered in Max by Lordseaf, the other is the light machine gun used by the Cyguard teams, also modeled by Lordseaf. I for one think he is doing a great job at getting the models done.
We will bringing out new updates to this within the next week or so. What I can say for now is that we have a dedicated team and they are working hard to bring this project together.
Nice to see you are getting this out there D, I have some new stuff for you to approve.

The next generation Audi A8 was supposed to be launched this September at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, but unfortunately the unveiling was delayed along with the highly anticipated all electric R8 super car . The German automakers have decided to forego their home show and even hold off on making an appearance with the luxury limousine at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. What we have learned is that the all new A8 is headed for a debut in the sunshine state, could it be the South Florida International Auto Show? Back in Frankfurt we will see a few of the automaker's new products, the Audi R8 Spider and the A5 Sportback .
The executives at Audi are hesitant to unveil the new A8 in Frankfurt or in L.A. because they do not want the launch of their flagship limousine to be overshadowed by other automobile's international debuts. It also doesn't hurt that the current A8 is still selling quite well, and if it isn't broke there is no need to fix it. The four ringed automaker also has a few more models planned for future production, like the A7 Sportback that is set to be unveiled in 2010, the compact A1 will also make an appearance in 2010, followed shortly by the slightly larger A2 and the Q3 compact crossover.

Money will give Oxford groups a chance to broaden horizons (From thisisoxfordshire)

Money will give Oxford groups a chance to broaden horizons
5:00pm Wednesday 30th April 2014 in News By Dan Robinson, Reporter covering Witney and West Oxfordshire. Call me on 01865 425483
TWO projects that are set to receive money from the Jubilee Legacy Fund are Cowley-based Porch Steppin' Stone Centre and 54th Oxford Ansar Scout Group.
The Porch Steppin' Stone Centre, in Magdalen Road, provides low-cost food, showers and laundry services for homeless and vulnerable people.
It will be given a £2,000 grant to be spent on buying new computers and upgrading software.
Manager Jon Fitzpatrick said: "The reality is that people are better off working than they are if they're not, so we help them find jobs on the computers.
"We might also use them for looking at accommodation options and contacting landlords, as well as benefits.
"We're going to buy an extra computer and put it in a different room to the cluster because there are some people who aren't very confident doing that in front of other people."
Mr Fitzpatrick said the centre, which is also funded by Oxford City Council, donations and fundraising, works with other networking services in Oxford to help tackle homelessness.
- Project worker Rachel Parfitt with a client at Porch Steppin' Stone Centre, Magdalen Road
He said: "We see people who have been homeless for 10 years and are very set in their ways.
"People come here of their own accord rather than being told to by a job centre or somewhere else.
"So we tend to be an access point for outreach workers to come and see them and look at alternative accommodation options."
The Scout group, for boys and girls, was set up in 2009 and includes children from different ethnic backgrounds. It is now trying to grow and plans to take members on a trip to Turkey.
OCF chief executive Jayne Woodley said: "It's been a very small project but now they are looking to grow.
"When groups are set up they are run by volunteers and don't have a lot of expenditure – it's only when they start looking at going to places and this money will help them to do that."
