Praline Pecan Liqueur features this same unique taste in a smooth, rich, mixable liqueur that is a great addition to many cocktails and recipes. Praline's distinct pecan flavor tastes excellent on the rocks, simply with milk, mixed in coffee, or in a variety of signature cocktails. The Pearl of Praline combines Praline, coconut liqueur, cream, and a touch of nutmeg for a tasty after dinner treat. For something that warms you up, try a Praline Sundown which simply combines Praline and hot chocolate.

Romana Sambuca 'Con Mosca' is served in a snifter with three coffee beans standing for 'health, wealth, and happiness'.
A liqueur produced by the infusion of Witch elder bush and licorice. The sugar and these natural aromatic plant extracts make for a delicious combination. It can be flavored with sweet anise and now can be found in different varieties. It is similar to Anisette but has a higher alcoholic level and is less sugary. Clear ,oily, fusel, sweet anise aromas. Thick, sweet and viscous with a distinctly oily note through the finish.
Light gold in color; fresh orange juice aromas, rather than zest, are predominant in the nose, with a hint of candied violets in the backdrop. The big, creamy body yields a palate rich in oranges, hazelnuts, nutmeg and cinnamon. The finish is long and very spicy. A great bottling. Reserve it for sipping neat after dinner.
Anise flavor made with the white petals of the elderberry flower. Smooth. Distinctive. The unique essence of anise has been used in potions for centuries. An exotic and distinctive flavor - known throughout history and folklore for its medicinal qualities and romantic powers.
Sambuca goes well with coffee. Float 3 coffee beans on top for a traditional after-dinner drink. Use Sambuca di Amore to create an exotic mixed drink.

The under water volcanoes, the mild climate and the lime consisting soil of the Mediterranean island of Chios, along with a tradition, rooted deeply in ancient years, of cultivation and harvesting, make mastiha world unique.
From 600 BC, mastiha spirit has traveled to Genoa, Istanbul, Athens and the world as a drinking delicacy and an excellent digestive.
Today Skinos Mastiha Spirit adopts the very same traditional harvesting and distilation process and creates a unique product, ideal to drink chilled before or after dinner.
Skinos Mastiha Spirit is a spirit made in Greece. This spirit comes from a tree sap named mastiha. Mastiha is a sap from trees on the Greek island of Chios. The spirit is very strong similar to vodkas or whiskies with about 30 percent alcohol by volume. The flavor is sort of delicately sweet and flowery. The spirit has an evergreen scent with aromas of buttery pine and juniper berry on the palate. Others recommend to serve it over ice with a slice of lemon as an aperitif or in a martini.
Pernod Ricard USA is harnessing the power of the Asian invasion with the US introduction of Soho Lychee Liqueur, a highly mixable spirit that captures the essence of the popular fruit. The exotic tropical flavor of the product is complemented by its bottle, which is embossed with a lychee medallion and the vertically scripted label, designed to evoke the neon signs of Asia's nightlife districts.
The aroma is a light but sharp whiskey, with overtones of maple, some dried fruit and spice cake notes, and very light hints of vanilla. It's a unusual aroma that isn't as much maple as I would have thought. As I warmed it up the dried fruit notes opened up and masked all the other scents, which was an improvement since I didn't really care for the aroma that much at first.
The taste is very light and medium sweet with a light, but syrupy body. There isn't much going on with the flavor. It has hints of whiskey under the very mild maple flavor. In the background there is some of that dried fruit and spice cake that I noticed in the aroma. This is a nice, mild liqueur that is different from most, but it doesn't wow me. It's nice to have when you want something different but I wouldn't have it on a regular basis. I would like it a lot more if it just had more of the whiskey and maple action going on.
All natural, made from 100% fresh, handpicked elderflowers
Subtle yet complex flavor
Low sugar content, roughly half that of other liqueurs
Easily pairs with a variety of spirits in many cocktails
Elegant French-inspired bottle to adorn your back bar
"This floral, well-balanced liqueur, developed by distiller Robert Cooper, has inspired the country's top cocktail experts. By sharing the product—and recipes—with home mixologists, St-Germain brings flower power to the masses."
Our intense liqueur is packed with the aromas and unmistakable sourness of tart, green apple, yet has a smooth finish that makes it a welcome addition to any cocktail you want to give a little kick. Your mouth may start to water when you merely look at the bottle.
With the aromas of fresh-grated ginger and a flavor profile featuring the warm, woody spices of gingersnap, this should be a staple on your shelf for those times when you really want to serve something memorable.
Intense yet delicate, the flavor profile is true to the fruit, not the standard syrupy sweetness of others on the shelf. The state of Georgia will have nothing on you.
Featuring sharp aromas of berry jamminess, it's tart on your tongue, with slight drying accompanied by unmistakable flavors of juicy, dark pomegranate and mashed berries. The sweet-yet-tart finish will likely turn this relatively obscure flavor into a household favorite that works surprisingly well in a wide variety of cocktails.
The Ginger Royale
35ml The King's Ginger
140ml Champagne
Pour a generous measure of The King's Ginger into a flute. Add chilled Champagne
Afternoon Delight
1 oz. Trader Vic's Kona Coffee
1 oz. Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut
1 oz. Irish cream
Stir together and serve warm over ice.
2 oz. Trader Vic's Kona Coffee Liqueur
2 oz. Trader Vic's Coconut Rum
Pinch of cinnamon
Mix and pour over crushed ice. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
The drink that launched the label, the original recipe was (and is) served in Hasse's Missouri Tavern. Tweaking the recipe a bit for bottling, Hasse is aiming for the fresh smell and taste of apple pie: Cinnamon, sweet and with just a bit of a citrus tang. He definitely comes close. The nose is perfect: Like fresh apple pie filling, warm and tempting. On the mouth the drink is almost too sweet. Every other sip, however, absolutely delivers the cinnamon, apple, nutmeg, citrus and allspice of really good apple pie filling. Sipping the liqueur neat is challenging, but gracing vodka-based cocktails, it works really well. It might seem odd to add more vodka to a neutral grain spirit-based liqueur, but what the clear stuff does is cut back and balance Apple Pie's syrupy sweetness).
The liqueur pairs beautifully with Vermont Spirit's Limited Release vodka (made from maple sap). In addition to the full flavor of the maple sugars, Vermont Spirits limits its distillations, so that the flavors of charcoal filtering come through as rich and full (you know, for vodka).
For a beautifully balanced sweet treat, pair the Apple Pie liqueur with Van Gogh's new Dutch Caramel Vodka. Dessert in a glass, with no creme.
Our favorite method to employ the liqueur, however, is poured over rich, whole-bean vanilla ice cream. Welcome to the first hints of warm weather!
Apple Pie-Tini
1 1/2 oz Vermont Spirits Special Limited Release or Gold Vodka
1/2 oz to 3/4 oz Travis Hasse's Apple Pie Liqueur
Dip the rim of a cocktail glass in Apple Pie Liqueur and rim with crushed graham crackers. mix ingredients with ice, and strain into glass.
Caramel Apple-Tini
1 1/2 oz Van Gogh Dutch Caramel
1/2 oz Travis Hasse's Apple Pie Liqueur
mix ingredients over ice, strain into cocktail glass. Serve alongside salted caramel candy.
In a good-faith effort to find something that worked with this medicinal libation, we threw the liqueur in a concoction of dark coffee and chocolate syrup, hoping for a sort of liquid chocolate cherry. No luck - the cough syrup element continued to shine through loud and clear.
Where the liqueur performs well is blended with a strong brown spirit, like bourbon or scotch. Pouring Cherry Pie alongside Cherry Heering in an otherwise identical Blood and Sand, Hasse's liqueur competed favorably. Cherry Pie Liqueur doesn't have the depth and subtlety of Heering, and its bright-red color is a bit disconcerting in the way the red sauce on Chinese takeout can be, but in the cocktail it held up well, balancing the scotch and orange juice. For those who don't like the slightly bitter follow-up notes of Heering or Maraschino liqueur, Cherry Pie is perfect in cocktails emphasizing sodas and colas.
Again, though, ice cream is best. We poured this one over Green & Black's decadently rich chocolate ice cream, and the result was the sought-after deconstructed chocolate-covered cherry candy sensation. Delish!
Cherry Pie Blood & Sand
3/4 oz Scotch Whisky
3/4 oz Antica Formula Red Vermouth
1/4 oz Travis Hasse's Original Cherry Pie Liqueur
1 1/2 oz Orange Juice or Peach Nectar
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with orange twist.
X-Rated Fusion is a new liqueur imported from France that was released to the market in February 2006. This pink liqueur has a premium vodka base that is infused with Provence blood orange, mango and passion fruit flavors. The unique flavor blend adds an interesting twist to many occasion-specific cocktails. For wooing a lover on a romantic evening or any ladies night out, drinks with a little X-Rated added make a perfect libation.
Zen green tea liqueur is produced using only the finest ingredients, with a perfectly balanced blend of specially selected Kyoto green tea leaves, premium herbs and natural flavors. Zen's unique flavor reflects the modern palate and is well suited for the sophisticated cocktail culture.
Zen is imported from Japan and provides an authentic experience of Japanese culture.

"In the first room of the Creation Museum tour there's a display of two paleontologists unearthing a raptor skeleton. One of them, a rather avuncular fellow, explains that he and the other paleontologist are both doing the same work, but that they start off from different premises: He starts off from the Bible and the other fellow (who does not get to comment, naturally) starts off from "man's reason," and really, that's the only difference between them: "different starting points, same facts," is the mantra for the first portion of the museum."Don't forget the photo tour.

Before the class, Crocker had told me that she was going to teach "the strengths and weaknesses of evolution." Afterward, I asked her whether she was going to discuss the evidence for evolution in another class. She said no.A "Biology 101" class turns into a gripe session for creationists at a state school, the Northern Virginia Community College. The lecturer then whines about being discriminated against when she fails to teach the subject she's hired to teach.
The weight of the evidence clearly demonstrates, as noted, that the systemic change from "creation" to "intelligent design" occurred sometime in 1987, after the Supreme Court's important Edwards decision. This compelling evidence strongly supports Plaintiffs' assertion that ID is creationism re-labeled.

Venous System Anatomy
The veins in the lower limbs are classified into two systems:
The two systems are connected by perforating veins that pass through the deep fascia at mid-thigh, knee and ankle. The diagram shows the veins of the superficial system in blue and pink and the deep system in gray. The great saphenous vein is highlighted in pink.
Three factors influence the return of blood back to the heart:
Venous Insufficiency
Venous insufficiency, a.k.a., venous reflux, is the impaired return of venous blood from the legs and feet, often manifesting as varicose veins, swollen ankles, aching legs, skin changes or venous ulcers.
In many cases, venous insufficiency is the result of over-dilation of the venous vessels in the legs. This dilation eventually prevents the valve cusps from closing properly resulting in reflux. The pooling of blood results in ineffective flow back to the heart.
In some cases the reflux is caused not only by the over dilation of the vessel wall, but also by damaged or absent valves.
One of the most common clinical manifestations of venous insufficiency is varicose veins. Varicose veins are superficial veins that have dilated in response to increased pressure due to incompetent valves. These varicose veins progressively worsen, and often manifest into other symptoms, if left untreated.
Patients presenting with varicose veins should be referred to a surgeon or vein specialist to undergo a physical examination and/or in-depth evaluation, including a duplex ultrasound study.
Common Symptoms Of Venous Insufficiency
In the absence of other symptoms, patients with cosmetic concerns due to the presence of varicose veins might be evaluated with only a physical examination. However, patients presenting with other symptoms of venous insufficiency, such as those listed below, should also undergo an in-depth evaluation, including a duplex ultrasound study.
Venous Reflux Education Video
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are typically found in the superficial venous system and often involve the main trunk veins - the great and small saphenous veins - as well as tributaries.
Varicose veins are superficial veins that have expanded in response to increased pressure caused by incompetent or absent valves. This dilation eventually prevents the valve cusps from closing properly resulting in reflux. Alternatively, a lack of competent valves can also cause dilation of the vein. As one valve fails, increasing pressure is exerted on each more distal valve until they, too, become incompetent. Diameters of varicose veins can range from 3 mm to > 8 mm.2
The disease is typically progressive and if left untreated can encompass the entire vessel and can ultimately affect the deep system.
Edema & leg or ankle swelling with and without skin changes
Edema and swollen ankles are the next progressive states of venous insufficiency and occur as the result of venous hypertension forcing fluid into the lymphatic and interstitial spaces.
This can cause leg or ankle swelling and changes in skin pigmentation. Severe pain and discomfort are typical of these conditions, particularly in the lower leg (calf & ankle) where proximity of nerves exacerbates the situation. In addition to superficial involvement, these stages usually include some portion of the deep vein system (including perforators).
Active & Healed Venous Ulcers
Venous ulcers indicate the most severe forms of venous insufficiency and typically involve both the deep (including perforators) and superficial vein systems. Extreme reflux and venous hypertension result in changes in the microcirculation of the skin eventually leading to severe ulceration.
Anatomic involvement at these stages generally involves the saphenous system3, the perforators (typically the Cockett perforators), and the deep system (typically the femoral, superficial femoral and/or the profunda). A smaller subset of the population has deep system-only involvement (<5%) and an even smaller portion perforator-only incompetence.

PasswordBox with Number only keyboard
it would be helpfull to have a passwordBox like control which supports Number only keyboard. Numeric only passwords makes more sense for Smartphone world as its fast, convenient and easy to type.
Thank you for the suggestion. We are not adding this capability in the 8.0 release, but know that it is high on the consideration list for future Windows Phone releases.
Keep those suggestions and votes coming!

This is pretty common request, for example for PIN enterance
Here's a posible workaround in the meantime: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/index.php?title=How_to_create_a_PasswordBox_with_numeric_Input_Scope_on_Windows_Phone&diff=188042&oldid=188039
Steven commented
Even better MSFT, please update the PasswordBox control to inherit from TextBox so we can use InputScope on a PasswordBox. Changing the keyboard for this control is a must as it can be used for entering any private info, not just a password, and we need to give users the easiest input method possible. Having to make our own custom TextBox kid of defeats the purpose of build in controls.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to answer my question. This thread has been incredibly helpful to me. The fact that reasonable minds disagreed about the guy's intentions and about how I should respond helped me see that my confusion wasn't just the result of social cluelessness on my part. He created an ambiguous situation, intentionally or not.posted by mathowie at 1:00 PM on November 30, 2011 [1 favorite]
I especially appreciated tel3pathe's point that I was right to feel uncomfortable about being placed in this position; cairdeas' insight that if I'm looking for a relationship in which I feel comfortable expressing my boundaries, I should start here by being straightforward about them; and bilabial and phearlez' suggestions that I'd make things easier for both of us by explicitly establishing parameters.
I let all of your answers percolate for a day and then emailed the guy to tell him that I'm looking forward to drinks but don't feel comfortable going to a guy's apartment until I know him fairly well. I threw out a few suggestions for after-drinks activities that would be either free or "my treat" (which, as susanvance pointed out, would help me feel more in control of the situation).
I haven't heard back yet, but the problem is already resolved in my mind. My response was reasonable and respectful to both of us, and the guy's reaction is out of my control. I do expect that he'll say something in the vein of "Oh, hey, that's cool, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," but if not, I'll have all the information I need. Thanks again, everyone.

Possible changes to Falmouth's boat fueling regulations are on the horizon, and the public will get its chance to weigh in at a public hearing next week.
The Falmouth Town Marina Building at 180 Scranton Avenue will host the hearing, which is scheduled for 7:30 PM on Wednesday, September 4. Oral testimony will be accepted, and the Falmouth Harbor Master's Office is in the meantime accepting written comments on the proposed new regulations.
Gregg P. Fraser, town harbor master, said these latest regulations are the second set of amendments to regulations originally put in place in 2007, and were prompted by "an abnormally large number of violations of the refueling regulations" over the summer, including boats refueling outside the time periods defined in the current regulations and a few "unreported minor fuel spills."
Mr. Fraser said the problem became very apparent following one spill at the head of Falmouth Harbor in which the town was eventually able to identify the refueling company "but we never identified the owner of the boat" because the refueling company did not keep detailed records.
To address that issue, under the proposed amendments, fueling companies would be required to provide much greater detail on refueling jobs, including the name of the customer's vessel, how much fuel they expect to deliver, and the time and place the fueling will occur.
Fueling companies would also have to keep a detailed log, which may be inspected upon request by any authorized enforcement agent; and must provide a written report on any spills in which fuel spills directly into the water.
"This would help us track down the offending person if there is a spill," Mr. Fraser said. "We should be able to find out who's responsible," not only for the benefit of the refueling company, which could be held liable for a spill depending on the circumstances, but for the town, which could also be held liable if a spill occurred on town property.
"This is all an effort, really, to protect the town," he said.
The town would reserve the right to respond to any violations with the immediate revocation of fueling privileges on town property under the control of the Falmouth Waterways Committee and/or the Falmouth Marine and Environmental Services Department.
Among the other proposed amendments: only certain designated slips at the main marina on Scranton Avenue would be open for refueling purposes; fuel trucks would be barred from arriving and idling at the dock area at the corner of Scranton Avenue and Clinton Avenue for more than 15 minutes prior or after a fueling; and trucks would only be allowed at "Tide's Bulkhead," the eastern entrance to Falmouth Inner Harbor, between 7:45 and 10:15 AM.
Written comments may be mailed to the Falmouth Harbor Master's Office at 180 Scranton Avenue, Falmouth, MA 02540. Copies of the proposed amendments are available through the harbor master's office.

|As their offense spent most of the past few weeks appearing to be lifeless, the Braves bid adieu to their hope of defending their division crown.

The New York Jets have reached out to wide receiver Josh Cribbs and are signing him according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Cribbs has spent his entire career with the Cleveland Browns before being released before the 2013 season. In Cribbs' career, he has been used more as a kick returner or punt returner than a wide receiver.
As a wide receiver Cribbs has a career 107 receptions for 1,161 yards and 7 touchdowns. His best receiving season came in 2011, when Cribbs caught 41 passes for 518 yards and four touchdowns. It was only one of three seasons in his career where he had more than 100 yards receiving in a season.
His special teams stats are more impressive. He returned 195 punts for 2,154 yards and three touchdowns. He also has returned 3878 kick offs for 10,015 yards and 8 touchdowns.
The Jets had flirted with Cribbs once before in the preseason. Cribbs will be used almost exclusively on special teams and not as a receiver. Current returner Clyde Gates is dealing with a shoulder injury.
Gates has gotten more work as the number three receiver in the Jets offense. They could try to use him less on special teams and give those duties to Cribbs.
Jets are signing WR Josh Cribbs.

COVENTRY ŌĆö Jennifer and Melissa Schroeder Rondeau reckon that since April they have kept 16,800 disposable diapers out of the state landfill.
That feat may not seem noteworthy at first glance, until you realize it takes a disposable diaper, at best, about 250 to 500 years to decompose.
WOONSOCKET -- Local principals haven't received a pay increase for the past five years, but during that time they could count on past individual contractual agreements for a bit of job security.
Now, it appears the school department's ongoing fiscal troubles may be putting the local school leaders at risk.
Members of the school committee this week debated whether the school department's nine principals should serve "at will" and be open to layoffs at any time.
WOONSOCKET -- You couldn't have asked for a better holiday smile than the one members of the Woonsocket Police Department put on the face of Joel Felix, 4, at their annual Santa Claus party for local children this week.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö When the Rhode Island Municipal Police Training Academy graduates its 115th class of recruits today, a few of the stars will be heading for jobs on the Woonsocket Police Department.
Timothy Greene is the valedictorian of the 19-member class. Matthew Derham won the Highway Safety Award. Patrick Greeno was the choice of his peers to read the Policeman's Code of Ethics, a graduation rite considered a high honor, says Capt. David A. Ricciarelli, the academy's assistant director of operations.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö From year to year, they've featured scenes that are quintessentially Woonsocket ŌĆö the facade of the Stadium Theatre, the historic Court Street Bridge, the stately sidewalk clock from McCarthy's department store.
Now the city is offering a new installment of those limited edition Christmas tree ornaments, and this season they commemorate not one, but two of the city's venerable institutions: its police and fire departments.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō A federal grand jury Tuesday set the stage to make the shooting death and robbery of gas station manager David D. Main the state's first death penalty case in a decade.
The grand jury named Jason W. Pleau, 33, of Providence, Jose A. Santiago, 33, and Kelley M. Lajoie, 32, both of Springfield, Mass., on charges stemming from the murder, along with a ŌĆ£notice of special findingsŌĆØ needed to satisfy sentencing prerequisites in death penalty cases.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Students at the high school know it takes work for people from different ethnic backgrounds to get along.
They get that message by walking through the often crowded hallways of their culturally diverse school and also from their teachers and counselors who stress learning to work together and understanding others is the best way to leave the school with keys to a successful future.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö Daniel McKee, chairman of the board of Rhode Island Mayoral Academies Blackstone Valley (RIMABV), announced Friday the appointment of Jeremy Chiappetta as executive director of RIMABV schools.
Chiappetta will oversee both RIMABV elementary and middle schools located in Cumberland and continue as head of school at the RIMABV elementary school.

Albany -- Hundreds of South Georgia children were hoping to catch the big one Saturday morning during the Buddy Fishing Tournament. Children ages 4 to 15 along with their parents were welcomed to cast their lines at the Marine Corps Logistics Base.
Staff at the base fill the pond with catfish for the fishing tournament every year to encourage children to enjoy the outdoors with their family.
"You have to press and hold the button. You have to bait the fish. You have to get a good cast, and you have to lure it in," said 8-year-old Alexandra Chaffee.
"We've been feeding these fish for six months. So they are fat, lazy and complacent," said Natural Resource Manager, Eddie Parramore.
"You hear a lot on the news media about children spending to much time in front of the computer and stuff. So this gets them outside," said Conservation Law Enforcement Officer, Al Benger.
This is the 20th year the Marine Corp Logistics Base has held this fishing tournament.

Bird Conservation Topics and Links
: For the third consecutive year, TCBC is supporting a very worthwhile project by the
Institute for Bird Populations
(IBP). This research program, known as MoSI (Monitoreo de Sobrevivencia Invernal), monitors winter survival of neotropical migrants.
Take a look here
and see some of the results and the pictures of the good folks at work at the field station that TCBC helps to support in El Salvador. More information on the MoSI program can be found on the

State of the Birds Report
: The first ever comprehensive report on the state of the bird populations in the U.S. was released on March 19, 2009 by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. Using data collected over the past 40 years, it shows that one-third of the nation's bird species are endangered. It also offers numerous examples of where habitat restoration and conservation have reversed previous declines, especially among waterfowl species. The full report may be found on the
State of the Birds

Anyone can participate in the Cornell Lab's recently launched
. Not only will you see fascinating in-the-nest bird behavior but you will also help Cornell Lab sort the many thousands of photographs they are accumulating, once their Beta version is fully functional. Check it out!
According to the National Audubon Society, Breeding Bird Surveys from 1947 through the 1970s have revealed that the yellow-billed cuckoo and yellow-throated vireo -- as well as the northern parula, black-and-white warbler, Kentucky warbler,and hooded warbler -- are disappearing. Six other migrant song birds -- Eastern wood-pewees, Acadian flycatchers, wood thrushes, red-eyed vireos, ovenbirds, and scarlet tanagers -- have declined by more than 50 percent. The take home message for many of us living in urban and suburban settings is that we are altering the environment by destroying nesting and foraging habitat and by introduction of cats that are not kept indoors. (Perhaps the city fathers and mothers of Brevard could see their way to requiring some justification, in the form of permitting, before a perfectly healthy tree is cut down. Perhaps as well they could approve an ordinance that would require the owners of house cats to restrain their pets from roaming outside at will where they are such excellent predators on songbirds and other wildlife.) See more of the story at the
audubon web site
There will always be plenty of native predators on songbirds such as this Western Rat Snake* (
Scotophis obsoletus
) captured for us here by Camille Ziegler. We can continue to live in peace with these natives and encourage more responsible stewardship by our human neighbors.
*formerly known as black rat snake (
Pantherophis obsoleta
Speaking of county records and other noteworthy factoids:
Transylvania County enjoys the distinction of having the most pairs of nesting Peregrine Falcons of any county in NC! The four pairs currently followed by Chris Kelly, Mountain Wildlife Diversity Biologist at the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (and a number of ardent hawkwatchers), use sites at Devil's Courthouse, Panthertail Mountain, Looking Glass and Dunn's Rock.
Photo courtesy of Wayne Forsythe.
Photos that follow are of the Looking Glass Rock eyrie, courtesy of Chris Kelly. She states that "Pluton type rocks (big, round granite domes) don't usually have good ledges. Looking Glass is a pluton, but happens to have one
good ledge. The birds nest on
ledge every year, whereas at sites with many good ledges (such as Whitesides), they move around on the cliff face from one year to the next." Locals also enjoy watching the Peregirnes each year at Devil's Courthouse along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Speaking of falcons, hawks, harriers, etc., the annual fall hawk migration is often lively here! A nearby locale to observe this event is Caesar's Head State Park. New volunteer hawk watchers are always welcome, so if you are interested in volunteering, check in at the Caesar's Head ranger station starting in the first week of September. Check out national efforts at the
Hawk Migration Association.
Drinking shade coffee is for the birds
. Thanks to the good folks at the
Brevard-Davidson River Presbyterian Church
on Main Street in Brevard you can purchase fair Trade coffee and tea at very reasonable prices. Purchased via grower co-ops through
Ten Thousand Villages
your purchase brings more money to the grower at the local level and encourages the use of sustainable agriculture. Traditional shade-grown coffee requires much less fertilizer, water, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides than coffee grown in sunny fields in a monoculture and is much easier on the existing flora and fauna. This benefits birds in numerous ways. You can do well while doing good with this great coffee and tea!

Project synthesis
The objective of SDC assistance is to provide support to the Department of Justice and South African Board for Sheriffs to implement the National Action Plan for the transformation of the sheriffs' profession (NAP). The role of the sheriff is inter alia to ensure execution of the decisions of the civil courts, in servicing processes, executing warrants and court orders, seizing assets and investigating maintenance pensions. The sheriff acts as the arm of the civil justice and is the direct and often only contact that the justice system has with the public.
The project aims at improving service delivery of the civil justice system. SDC has funded the NAP preparation phase, during which an extensive audit of the profession involving all key stakeholders was conducted. The audit confirmed that the profession is still plagued with inequalities in terms of race and gender and revealed that a number of legislative amendments need to be made to accelerate the transformation process. It also showed that the actual governing structures of the profession require changes and reinforcement. Finally it emphasised that any efficient transformation initiative would need to be backed by a strong communication strategy.
The NAP has been designed to address the historical imbalances of race, gender, class and geography of the profession. The NAP aims at re-dressing the historical imbalances over a period of ten years. The critical issue is to put in place mechanisms, which will achieve the necessary outcomes to ensure that the historical imbalances of race, gender, class and geography of the profession are addressed.
Target group
While targeting primarily the sheriffs, the deputy-sheriffs and the Board for Sheriffs a statutory body consisting of 12 members appointed by the Minister to supervise the profession, it will indirectly benefit to all South African interacting with the profession
Activities and Expected Results
Capacity building and training programmes will play a decisive role to ensure that disadvantaged communities are provided with the necessary skills and expertise to take up positions in the profession. Research and legislation reviews initiated under the first phase will be completed on the basis of which transformative measures will be adopted and implemented A communication strategy will be set in place to ensure that the awareness of the relevant stakeholders on the transformation process is adequately raised. The whole transformation process will be supported by a reinforcement of the Office of the Board.
The Ministry of Justice executes the project. The South African Board for Sheriffs has the overall responsibility for its implementation.
Project duration
The preparation of the National Action Plan took place from November 2000 to July 2001. SDC will support the NAP implementation over a three-year period, up to August 2004.
SDC has funded the preparation of the NAP for a total amount of CHF 255'000. The support to its implementation will amount to CHF 2.8 million.
Geographical area The Project is implemented nation-wide through the 424 Sheriffs offices in the country. The Office of the Board for Sheriffs is located in Cape Town.

Designed to perform in cool conditions, the Pearl Izumi Men's SELECT Softshell Lite Gloves insulate your hands when the wind picks up and the temperature starts to drop.
Sizes and Fabric
Length: Measure from base of palm to end of longest finger (in inches)Width: Measure around the widest point of the palm, not including the thumb (in inches)
Comments: I recently purchased these with a few other PI items. I like these gloves because they are not bulky. I have warm them on runs do to about 34 degrees. They are warm but you do feel a little bit of the cold. They would be perfect if they had wind blocking material on the back of the hand since that is what hits the wind first. You take the wind away and these are great gloves. True to size also. I wear a medium glove typically and they fit about average. From: Ron W., Highspire, PA, USA

Today I have a small comparison for you! I wanted to wear a liquid sand/texture/sand/effect/whatever you want to call it nail polish, and I decided to take 2 different ones with me on my weekend trip: OPI Jinx and ANNY She's amazing. Well, at least I thought they were different…
until I asked J to pass me "the orange/red glittery nail polish" and he handed me both. Now, I stood there looking like an idiot because I was thinking of OPI Jinx, but it turned out I had packed two polishes that look identical to everyone but a nail polish junkie.
So I decided to wear both of them, to see if they really are the same. And I must say that the only difference between the two can be spotted on the close up pictures. If I wouldn't know that OPI Jinx is on my ring finger and on my pinkie and ANNY She's amazing is on the other two fingers, I couldn't tell them apart.
In terms of quality they were the same. 2 coats, quick drying, very sparkly. I like them both a lot. Also, considering the amount of nail polish in the bottle compared to the price, they seem very similar, except for Americans, where OPI is substantially cheaper. Then the OPI pays off more, because the bottle holds more polish. All in all, I would advise every texture lover to get one or the other!

6 Dividend Stocks for Earnings Season
Maintenance and repair product distributor Fastenal (FAST) is having a strong year despite the bearish pressure that's squeezed the broad market in 2011. Year-to-date, shares have climbed 12.5% -- Fastenal's dividend payout notwithstanding. That dividend is on the rise right now; management increased their payout to shareholders by 7.69% this week, ratcheting its quarterly dividend up to 13 cents per share.
Fastenal's core business comes in providing a massive catalog of maintenance, repair, and construction products to companies worldwide. At its core is the firm's namesake fastener business, which currently boasts more than 400,000 products; fittingly, fasteners make up more than half of the firm's sales. Competition is high for firms' maintenance and repair dollars, and Fastenal's geographic footprint is its biggest weapon to combat customer attrition. With more than 2,400 physical locations, Fastenal is best able to quickly fulfill orders and keep customers loyal.With no debt on its balance sheet and more than $115 in cash and investments on hand, Fastenal's financial health is excellent. The firm's recent dividend hike equates to a 1.54% yield at current levels. Fastenal, one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated supplier and distributor stocks, was also featured recently in " 5 Stocks Set to Soar off Bullish Earnings."

MacCarthy Interiors moves to New Gatwick facility
Business aircraft cabin specialist MacCarthy Interiors has moved its headquarters to a new and larger facility near Gatwick Airport, about 35 miles south of London. The move essentially doubles its capacity. MacCarthy earlier last year signed an agreement with Harrods Aviation that allows both companies to offer similar interior completion and refurbishment services at their respective locations at London Luton and Stansted Airports.

PISCATAWAY, NJ – Enjoying one of its most successful seasons in the history of the program, the Rutgers men's golf team embarks on its first NCAA Championship Regionals in 21 years this weekend. The Scarlet Knights will travel to Nashville, TN, to compete Thursday through Saturday at the Golf Club of Tennessee, hosted by the Southeastern Conference.
Rutgers is the 24th seed in the East Regional where it will compete against Georgia, Georgia Tech, Florida, Duke, Tennessee, Georgia Southern, Wake Forest, Alabama, Georgia State, Clemson, Coastal Carolina, Louisville, North Carolina, East Tennessee State, Central Florida, Virginia, Indiana, Vanderbilt, Charlotte, Penn State, North Carolina-Wilmington, Towson, Rhode Island, Maryland, Army and Boston College in the 27-school regional tournament.
RU, which finished third at the BIG EAST Championships earlier this spring, was one of 52 teams to earn an at-large berth in the 81-school field. The NCAA Championships field was divided into three regional tournaments, the East, Central and West, encompassing the current nine regions of the country. A total of 27 teams and six individuals not on selected teams were assigned to each regional site, where the top 10 teams and two individuals not on advancing teams will move on from each regional to the championship finals.
Should Rutgers advance, they will move on to the NCAA Championships Finals, held June 1-4 at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, MD. Loyola College serves as host for this year's championships.
RU has finished sixth or better in all 10 tournaments during the fall and spring seasons, including four tournament titles in the fall.
Rutgers highlighted its spring season with a third-place finish in the weather-shortened BIG EAST Championships in April where head coach Maura Waters was recognized as the 2005 BIG EAST Coach of the Year.
The Scarlet Knights are led by senior Brent Pittman (Montvale, NJ). After winning a pair of individual tournament titles in the 2003 fall season, he had top-5 finishes in three tournaments, finishing 10th or better in seven out of the 10 invitationals during the year. He is the top golfer in the BIG EAST and among the top in individuals in the Mid-Atlantic region with a 72.8 strokes-per-round average this season. Pittman tied for third at the BIG EAST Championship in late April.
Junior Jason Bataille (South Plainfield, NJ) is second on the Rutgers roster with a 74.36 scoring average this season. He owns a pair of top-5 finishes, winning the Rutgers Invitational in the fall with a six-under-par 136 (68-68). He led Rutgers to the team championship in the event, beginning a string of three-consecutive titles for the Scarlet Knights.
Junior Mike Kosup (Flemington, NJ) has emerged as a threat to win tournaments each time he steps on the course. He won the Elon Sea Trail Invitational, besting the 114-member field with a six-under-par 138 (69-69). Kosup's second top-5 finish came at the BIG EAST Championships in April, when he tied for third in the event. Kosup and Pittman were both selected to the All-BIG EAST team following their performances in the BIG EAST Championship.
Fellow junior Erick Morales (Bayamon, Puerto Rico) and sophomores John Browndorf (Rumson, NJ) and Seth Hirschhorn (Willingboro, NJ) have each contributed to the team's success this season. Browndorf leads the bunch with a 73.97 scoring average. His best finish was fifth at the Tillinghast, hosted by St. John's in the fall.
Rutgers owns a 113-21 record in head-to-head competition this season – its best mark in recent memory. The Scarlet Knights own the best scoring average in the BIG EAST.
Live scoring will be available daily through www.golfstatlive.com.

Charities will be given leeway in meeting fund raising and program spending ratio standardsArlington, VA –December 3, 2009 – Recognizing that charities across the country are struggling financially in the current economy, the BBB Wise Giving Alliance announced today that it would use the flexibility permitted under its Standards for Charity Accountability to consider the recession's impact when evaluating charities' fund raising and program expense ratios. Charities have suffered a decline in donations as the economy worsened. The Giving USA Foundation reported that giving from all sources, after adjusting for inflation, dropped 5.7 percent in 2008 – the largest plunge in fifty years. And the Foundation Center has recently reported that giving by foundations will likely decline by more than 10 percent in 2009. Unfortunately, there is little relief in sight. "BBB Wise Giving Alliance recognizes that donations are just not coming in as they have in the past and this will negatively affect the financial ratios for many organizations that do fantastic work," said Art Taylor, President and CEO of the BBB Wise Giving Alliance. "Spending ratios have limited value in assessing the worth of a charity and too much reliance on them is unwise. With the economy going sour, donors who fail to look beyond overhead ratios can unduly penalize good charities. We all need to be reasonable, particularly to those charities that otherwise meet rigorous accountability standards."The BBB Wise Giving Alliance evaluates more than 1,200 nationally-soliciting charities against 20 Standards for Charity Accountability that address charity governance, finances, effectiveness, fund raising practices and donor privacy. Two of the twenty standards require that a charity spend at least 65 percent of its total expenses on program activities and spend no more than 35 percent of contributions on fund raising. Because so many charities are seeing a severe decline in donations, their spending ratios may be impacted and fall below the required standards until the overall health of the economy improves. The BBB Wise Giving Alliance has decided to allow charities up to a 10 percent deviation for Standards 8 and 9, which use ratios. This leeway will be considered on an individual basis for evaluations of charity financial statements for fiscal years ending in 2008 through June 2010. "Of course it matters how a charity spends its money. But during this economy it's especially vital for the public to focus on other critical factors that affect a charity's performance including whether the charity has strong governance and oversight, evaluates its effectiveness, and is transparent in its fund raising appeals and other communications," added Taylor. Jacob Harold, Program Officer – Philanthropy, at The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, notes "The economic crisis is another reminder that we need to be smart about giving. Financial ratios do not tell us anything about the impact organizations make. BBB Wise Giving Alliance's action today will help encourage donors to focus on information about effectiveness when they make giving decisions."John Graham CAE, President and CEO of the American Society of Association Executives and Chair of the BBB Wise Giving Alliance Board of Directors, said that, "Although it is difficult to predict how many charities will be impacted by the economy this year, it's important for donors to be aware of the limitations of financial ratio statistics in making their giving decisions."For more information or to schedule an interview with a BBB Wise Giving Alliance spokesperson, contact Alison Southwick at 703-247-9376.
###About the BBB Wise Giving AllianceThe BBB Wise Giving Alliance produces reports on over 1,200 nationally soliciting charitable organizations. The BBB Wise Giving Alliance does not rank charities but rather seeks to assist donors in making informed judgments by providing objective evaluations of national charities based on 20 strict standards. The outcomes of the evaluations – or BBB Wise Giving ReportsTM – are available online at www.bbb.org/charity. The BBB Wise Giving Alliance is an affiliate of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, the national organization representing 124 BBBs serving communities across the U.S. and Canada – evaluating and monitoring more than 3 million local and national businesses and charities.
