Peruvian Marinade (Rotisserie, Grill, or Oven Chicken Marinade)
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 0 mins
This marinade is for rotisserie chicken, but you can also marinade chicken parts (even boneless skinless breasts!) and cook in oven or on grill. It's deliciously lemony and garlicky. A bit of vinegar makes it even brighter-tasting. Great paired with a fruity Argentinian Malbec.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
- 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄4 cup white wine vinegar
- 8 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 tablespoon hot paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- kosher salt
- fresh ground pepper
- Combine ingredients in a large zip lock bag and whisk or shake till blended.
- Add chicken to bag and shake until it is coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
- Scrape marinade off chicken (if using skinless), season generously with kosher salt and pepper and place in rotisserie, in oven or on grill.
- Cooking time will depend upon size of poultry pieces; do not let meat become dry;.
- For Reference;.
- Whole fryer (3-4 pounds) 60 - 70 minutes; Whole Roaster (5-7 pounds) 22 minutes a pound, Butterflied whole chicken (3-5 pounds) 45-50 minutes; 450 degrees for first 15-20 minutes and then lower to 350 for remainder of cooking. Remove from oven when meat thermometer reads 175°-180°F; temperature will continue to rise as it stands.
- Breast half, bone in (6-8 oz) 10-15 minutes a side; Breast half, boneless (4 oz) 8-10 min a side & (6-8 oz) 10-15 minutes a side; leg or thigh (8 or 4 oz) 10-15 minutes a side; Drumstick (4 oz) 8-12 minutes a side & (8-16 oz) 10-15 minutes a side; wings or wing drumette (2-3 oz) 8-12 minutes a side – Remove from oven when meat thermometer reads 175°-180°F; temperature will continue to rise as it stands.

Holy Mother of Pearl! This was great!!! This marinade is fantastic! My son could not stop moaning with delight as he stole small pieces while I was carving the bird. This rivals the rotisserie chicken at our favorite Peruvian restaurant. I roasted a whole chicken. I strained out the garlic and put it into the cavity and poured some of the left over marinade under the skin before putting it in the oven. Then I basted with the remaining marinade every fifteen minutes or so as it cooked. The chicken came out moist and juicy and oh so yummy! I will definately be making this again! (I'm laughing at all the exclamation marks in my review. They're well deserved!) Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!! :-D
I used a combination of lemon and lime juice to marinate a small, whole butterflied chicken for about 12 hours... The chicken came out very moist, but had a strong tumeric flavor for us. The garlic flavor was really nice though and the chicken browned up really nicely. Thanks for sharing!!!
I made half a recipe and used with 5 meaty chicken legs. The marunade was poured over the chicken and placed in the refrigerator for about 4 hours before grilling. The chicken had a very nice flavor. Thank you for posting.

University of South Florida Polytechnic edits[edit]
Linking here to University of South Florida Polytechnic as editor has ignored my request at top of page for all comments to link to the page under discussion. PamD 07:26, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi Pam,
I started on a clean up on that page, because the previous page incorrectly pointed to Florida Polytechnic University. University of South Florida began in 1954 and started University of South Florida Lakeland in the 1980s. I became a student of the school right after it became University of South Florida Polytechnic (that happened in 2008, I started at the school in 2009).
Our local state representative, JD. Alexander, decided that becoming a separate campus of USF with its own accreditation was not enough (mind you, USF is a Research 1 institution in the US, nothing to sneeze at!) and went nuts on starting a whole new STEM university. Long story short, a whole new university (Florida Polytechnic University) was started and University of South Florida Polytechnic was dissolved. The schools are NOT affiliated with each other in any way.
In fact, Florida Polytechnic right now may not receive the accreditation that JD Alexander promised they would this year. The South Atlantic Conference, an accrediting body headed by Belle Wheelan, refuses to grant this important status until the school meets the criteria established when it was formed. Meanwhile, if University of South Florida Polytechnic still existed, it would have been accredited 4 years ago!
It is a huge bone of contention for USFP students that all social media sites put the logo of the school that killed their school up when we list our alma mater. We have never been FPU students.
How do I get this resolved? I can cite about 50 articles in the Wikipedia page if I need to. FPU's buildings were designed by Santiago Calatrava to be USF Polytechnic, and the site donated to USF for use for their Lakeland Campus, but no, the schools are in no way affiliated with each other.

July 2016[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on User_talk:Bgwhite. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. I do not appreciate being falsely accused, or being talked to like I broke the entire encyclopedia. The thing you linked regarding templates is an essay and isn't a policy. I agree with the essay, and I thought hard about what would be the best method to post on the userpage - I used the notice template on the talk page because I didn't want to write a message, as I often sound like I attack people, but don't mean it. I wanted to avoid any trouble. A predefined template seemed less hostile to me. Nothing I did was against policy, yet you jumped to the possibility of me using an IP to edit, and treated me like dirt on my lack of knowledge with wikipedia lingo ("ce"). I am sorry for non-standard editing, but I am curious why it was chosen to remove, rather than standardize. This is very discouraging, as I meant no harm and enjoy benefiting people. I try my best but it's never good enough. I feel so unwelcome. Is this how every new editor who makes a frowned-upon action (not mistake) is treated? :'( CoolCanuck eh? 21:29, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- I haven't falsely accused you of anything significant - though at first I got the mistaken impression that you hadn't signed your comment, because an IP had added an unsigned comment with no section heading nor blank line, onto the end of your post. I realised what had happened, moved their comment to a new section, but forgot to remove my incorrect reminder to you about not signing your post (which I've now struck out). OK, perhaps that was a "false accusation", but hardly one to get agitated about.
- You, on the other hand, are accusing me of bad faith and saying that I treated me like dirt on my lack of knowledge with wikipedia lingo ("ce"). I literally did not know in which of two senses you meant a more meaningful summary than "ce" which is the equivalent of no summary: either you did, or did not, know that "ce" is a common abbreviation here for "copy-edit". I tried to be helpful in each case. You chose to take offense. Please calm down. :As far as I can see BGW removed some non-standard formatting from Simcoe County District School Board but left your image file still linked; the image file of the motto was later deleted by a different editor as a copyright violation. I then helpfully reinserted the text of the motto.
- And on WP:DTR: yes, it's an essay, but it makes sense. To suggest to an extremely experienced editor that their removal of text "may have been a test edit" is inappropriate. You could just have asked "Please explain why you removed my formatting". I'm sure s/he would have done so. Neither of you were leaving particularly useful edit summaries while you reverted each other. (@Bgwhite: for info, as this started on their talk page).
- I'm sorry that you're feeling unwelcome and discouraged. I chipped in as a friendly informative "talk page watcher" to respond to your post on BGW's talk page (which could well be interpreted as either careless or insulting, as it was so inappropriate to use that templated message), but you've chosen to react negatively. Ah well, such is the rich tapestry of Wikilife. Come to think of it, any templated message, like yours here, which starts off "Welcome to Wikipedia" is a pretty unsuitable message to leave on the talk page of someone who's been editing here for 10 years, and likely to result in the following message not being taken particularly seriously: you might do better to cut down on the templated messages and handcraft your posts instead. PamD 22:04, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- @CoolCanuck: Pinging you as I just noticed I forgot to do so above. PamD 08:44, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply, in all fairness, it's not policy - stop over reacting. Various editors have discussed on IRC and have no issue with using templates instead of being hostile, as I previously explained my reasoning. Thanks for your suggestion to refrain from using templates, but in the end, the decision is solely mine, and mine alone within official policy - not yours. Regarding an image being used in an infobox (the actual "issue" - let's stay on topic..) for motto without it being officially supported, editors and reviewers of Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016 have no issue with it. I would like to know how my instance differs? No mention of using images for slogans on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_U.S._federal_election_campaign .. just like the school district infobox motto. Your sarcasm and poor attitude towards new editors is dully noted. You were not a "friendly" talk page watcher. Don't bite new editors. --CoolCanuck eh? 17:48, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
- Note: the editor above first edited in November 2014 so is hardly "new". PamD 18:14, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Giorgio Tavecchio[edit]
Hey. I was in the midst of redoing the page and just re-writing the the previous facts in a more detailed manor. I'll remember to write a summary next time. I just figured I'd do it at the end instead of writing a summary for each edit I did on the same page. Toeknee44 (talk) 03:28, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Toeknee44: Sorry about that: I just saw edits which had removed the lead and sources, so fixed the article as I saw it. If you're doing a whole series of edits it's useful to add {{in use}} as an alert (and remember to take it away at the end). Alternatively, edit, use "Preview", edit again, etc, so that the article is in a good state when you finally hit "Save". It's a good idea to try to leave the lead sentence intact whatever else is going on - it's the key thing which people see in search engines etc - and not a good idea to remove sourced content without an edit summary to say what you're doing... it tends to upset people. I'm not interested in American football, but was stub-sorting back in April, saved him from speedy deletion on the basis that his significance was asserted, nominated him for BLP PROD as he had no sources, and he's been lying around on my Watchlist since then. Happy Editing! PamD 09:00, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
Where would I put {{in use}}? On the top of the page, in the edit summary? I've been doing edits for almost 5 years now and I'm still trying to learn everything.
- Top of the page, so people see it when they get there. (Actually, the documentation does say so: " ... is placed at the top of a page you are actively editing for a short period of time"!) Yes, I keep finding new interesting things (like how to link neatly to an article in another language Wikipedia). Glad to be able to spread a little knowledge! PamD 17:29, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

University of South Florida, Lakeland (U.S.F. Lakeland)[edit]
Hi, PamD, I'm a greenie (newbie) to the the Talk Page, hope i'm doing this right.
I live in Lakeland, Florida and attended the University of South Florida, Lakeland Campus ("U.S.F. Lakeland" as a nickname). Therefore I am an alumni of that college, which once existed as a satellite campus to the main campus of University of South Florida in Tampa, which is also a public university. In addition, U.S.F. Lakeland shared a campus with a community college, now known as Polk State College. (confused more yet?) So, historically, there was a U.S.F. Lakeland Campus that has closed, but it is still my alma mater. I would like the history to be preserved, because the new university is another institution.
At one point, as the Lakeland campus grew, with U.S.F. Lakeland leading the growth, the main campus in Tampa determined to have a campus that focused on Poly-Technical instruction (a technical trade school). Then, local politics came into play. A Senator from Polk County, where the City of Lakeland is located, decided to make it his duty to disconnect U.S.F. (et al) from the school altogether, due to political differences. The senator, J.D. Alexander, lobbied the Florida Senate to vote to create a twelfth university in Florida. The name would be Florida Polytechnic University.
There are still contentious politics at play. As I was googling for references I found that there is a newer name for the university yet again, as of December 2015. The University Trustees voted to name the school after the senator.
Some references: "Sen. JD Alexander: respected, reviled, always powerful" http://www.tampabay.com/news/education/college/sen-jd-alexander-respected-reviled-always-powerful/1216101 "Florida Polytechnic University trustees name campus after former Lake Wales lawmaker J.D. Alexander" http://www.theledger.com/article/20151202/news/151209903 AJMJohnson 00:05, 11 July 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by XanaDrew (talk • contribs)
- @XanaDrew: As I said a few posts above, this is all best discussed at Talk:University of South Florida Polytechnic: please join in the discussion there. For a good article about USFP, it would be helpful to have several Reliable sources about the school, and in particular to have a copyright-OK version of its logo. Another editor uploaded one, marked as "own work": that can't be correct, as either it's the school's logo and not her work, or it's not the official logo. If you have a school document from which you can copy or scan a reasonable-quality copy of the logo, so that it can be uploaded with a stated source, once an article exists, under the special rules for logos (ie it is OK to copy the copyright logo of an organisation for use once in one article about the organisation, roughly), then that would be helpful too. But go over to that talk page and talk there: I know nothing about Florida academic politics. @Cuchullain: for info. (And, by the way, when typing in Wikipedia you need to abandon the way we were all taught to write: don't indent starts of paragraphs, just add a blank line. A line starting with a space gets formatted differently, looks odd on a talk page. And hallo to yet another librarian - there are a lot of us around editing the encyclopedia: I guess the urge to make knowledge available goes with the territory.) PamD 07:41, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- XanaDrew, PamD, yeah, that's essentially true. However, the shift of campuses didn't happen with the move from being a USF branch to being independent. USF Lakeland, as it was then known, was outgrowing its space on the community college campus and local leadership secured land for the new campus back in 2008. The name changed to USF Polytechnic happened the same year. It wasn't until 2012 that the branch campus was dissolved and Florida Polytechnic University was officially created, and the process took till 2014 to complete. Classes were still held at the community college campus before the new buildings were ready. "JD Alexander Campus" is just the name for the physical campus itself, not the university, in the way university buildings and features are often named after prominent founders and benefactors. The history is fairly convoluted, which is one reason I think it's better covered at one article than two.--Cúchullain t/c 14:35, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

The West Country Challenge[edit]
I presume you have heard about The West Country Challenge?
The The West Country Challenge will take place from 8 to 28 August 2016. The idea is to create and improve articles about Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
The format will be based on Wales's successful Awaken the Dragon which saw over 1000 article improvements and creations and 65 GAs/FAs. As with the Dragon contest, the focus is more on improving core articles and breathing new life into those older stale articles and stubs which might otherwise not get edited in years. All contributions, including new articles, are welcome though.
Work on any of the items at:
or other articles relating to the area.
There will be sub contests focusing on particular areas:
- Bristol (Day 1-3)
- Cornwall and Scilly (Day 4-6)
- Devon (Day 7-9)
- Dorset (Day 10-12)
- Gloucestershire (Day 13-15)
- Somerset (Day 16-18)
- Wiltshire (Day 19-21)

Poetic encyclopaedist school[edit]
Hi, PamD, Thank you for your attention on the wiki pages about the "Poetic_encyclopaedist_school"(Poetic encyclopaedist school). This is a serious poetic school founded in China by Yin_Xiaoyuan (Yin Xiaoyuan), one poetic school very innovative in themes, styles and techniques etc. Please give us advice to construct a good presentation on Wikipedia of the poetic school in compliance with the spirit of Wikipedia.
Best regards! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jzjq (talk • contribs) 08:13, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Jzjg: (Please remember to sign all your posts on talk pages). I am not an expert on poetry, or Chinese literature of any sort. Your immediate problem is to defend the article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Poetic encyclopaedist school, by showing that the recently added sources are "Reliable sources" which are independent of the school, and by ensuring that the article is in clear English (see latest addition to the AfD debate). The references in the article are currently not well presented, in that they do not show the source of the reference clearly - a title and a URL are not enough for a reference: the reference should be as detailed as it would be in a written academic paper, with the URL as an extra bonus. Similarly, articles on individual poets need to include sources about them, not just duplicated chunks of information about the school and its other members. And you need to be sure that each editor edits using one and only one editor name. I see that your first edit was to add the article to the assessment requests at Wikipedia:WikiProject Poetry/Assessment where it says "If you have made significant changes to an article ...", although you had not made any changes under your current editor name. PamD 09:50, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
@PamD Hi, PamD, Thank you for your reply. I am a beginner as 'editor'on Wikipedia. Is it not a good idea to make an assesment request about an article edited by other editors? By doing so, we might expect a more objective rating? Best regards! Jzjq (talk) 11:39, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Jzjq: No, as a new editor I think you should concentrate on responding to the points made in the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Poetic encyclopaedist school. The section of the Poetry project page which invites editors to ask for assessment of their articles says, quite clearly, "If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below. By implication, if you have not yourself made significant changes to that article you should leave it to those who have done so to request any assessment. PamD 23:06, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Not that this needs to go any farther[edit]
- Background for talk-page watchers or myself looking at future archive: This is about a possibly non-notable, possibly ambiguous (see talk page), sailing ship: the Eliza Stewart. My curiosity was piqued by this rapidly-deleted talk page post, and I followed it up and then commented further. PamD 07:22, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
But you're welcome to review WP:AAGF when you have time. The edit comments were not utterly neutral, but neither were they inaccurate. There was in this case obvious and clear evidence that the banner spamming was not in good faith: no evidence was presented that the editor in question bothered googling or even reading the provided citation before claiming it was uncited and non-notable. The cite established that if the article was not notable enough on its own, the proper solution would be a merge into a larger list and not generic removal. In fact, the editor was just peeved that their original mistaken removal of the topic from the dab page had been undone. Per WP:CIVIL:
- Explain yourself.—Insufficient explanations for edits can be perceived as uncivil. Use good edit summaries, and use the talk page if the edit summary does not provide enough space or if a more substantive debate is likely to be needed.
Now, let us all kindly stop misusing policy to remove helpful information from the encyclopedia or to bicker with each other and get back to expanding it and ignoring one another except to provide kudos or help with our expansions. — LlywelynII 22:31, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
...speaking of which, overwrought non-AGF comment to my talk page aside, thank you for your help expanding that article and depersonalizing the conflict with the other editor. — LlywelynII 22:34, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
- @LlywelynII: Your insistence that Boleyn's policy-compliant removal of an entry with no blue link from a dab page was "mistaken" is verging on a Personal Attack on her. Please check WP:MOSDAB which states: A link to a non-existent article (a "red link") should only be included on a disambiguation page when an article (not just disambiguation pages) also includes that red link.. And it's difficult to "Assume the Assumption of Good Faith" in the light of your unpleasant edit summaries where you describe an editor as "peeved" and her edits as "catty" and "unhelpful", and legitimate tags as "obnoxious". There is no requirement on an editor to look for sources themselves before tagging an article with one reference as "needing more references" and suggesting that a one-sentence article does not appear to show WP:NOTABILITY. Tags are there to suggest ways in which an article should be improved: the editor doing the tagging is not required to do the work themselves. Just as I am entitled to add a {{catimprove}} tag without it being described as "tendentious", and without choosing to add more specific categories myself. PamD 22:57, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, Pam, I certainly agree with your comments here and elsewhere. Jut in case you were wondering, I removed the message from my Talk page because I had already responded to a similar comment on the talk page of the dab, and when I saw the message then at my talk page, which was rude, I couldn't give it any more of my energy. LlywelynII, I would just like to clarify that my edit summaries and response at Talk:Eliza Stewart took the time to link to guidelines so you could see clearly where you had gone wrong. I didn't create the guidelines - they have emerged from the consensus of numerous editors who work in this area over a number of years, and shouldn't be unilaterally ignored because you don't agree, based on your limited experience of editing dabs. I would, though, encourage anyone to open a discussion about changing guidelines on the MOS:D or WP:Wikiproject Disambiguation pages, that's the way to get things changed. Personal attacks just make you look bad. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 10:51, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
Thanks giving[edit]
Hi, PamD. Thanks for improving the article "Pooja Sharma (disambiguation)". Further, your comments are very helpful to me. Regards! Teampoojasharma (talk) 11:53, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Épinal-Erfurt glossary[edit]
I realise that the Épinal-Erfurt glossary page could use quite a bit of expansion (which I don't have time for at the moment), but I'm wondering how to expand it in regards to notability (something that won't require too much more work for now). The existence of academic work on it (including a number of books) and its mention in other Wikipedia pages should already suggest some level of notability. What sort of content might you suggest adding? (For the record, I wish there were some other method of requesting such expansion besides nominating the page for deletion. When it's nominated for deletion, it seems to convey that the nominator considers it to be not at all notable, when in reality they usually simply know nothing about the topic. Is it the case here that you doubt notability, or are you simply pushing for higher quality standards on the stub?) —Firespeaker (talk) 16:29, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
Also, it's not a book, exactly, so the addition of that category seems a bit odd. I'm wondering if that should also be fixed, or if you had something else in mind here that I'm not getting. —Firespeaker (talk) 16:34, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Firespeaker: I came across this while stub-sorting (it caught my eye as something misfiling and needing a DEFAULTSORT principally, as the initial accented "E" files after "Z"). I didn't really grasp what it was about, perhaps didn't put enough effort into thinking about it. The fact that the one reference led to a predominantly non-English language Google page about an OUP book was also a bit offputting. I now see that the glossary itself is the entity, a reference work in two manuscripts, and Pheifer's book is a scholarly work entirely about it, which probably confers notability - I'll tweak the article to try to clarify that. Apologies for my rather careless tagging: I should have just walked on after sorting out the DEFAULTSORT, though it would quite possibly then have come into the hands of someone equally out of their depth in the field. ... Have just found a couple of good-looking references and will see what I can do. PamD 16:49, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Firespeaker: There, I've had a go at it. Now looks thoroughly notable, even to an ignorant eye. I'm unaccustomed to dealing with seriously scholarly stuff in Wikipedia, as I mostly stub-sort miscellaneous stubs (lots of sportspeople, politicians, villages, albums), or things on my watchlist (including the very random collection of articles I've started myself over the years). I hope that what I've added is correct - I'm sure you and others who know the field will expand it. PamD 17:42, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

I thought SVU needed to be on that list for sure.
As a fellow Ravenclaw, I agree. 30 Rock is the only one I like.
Yes! My Clarisonic has changed my life. I was reluctant and skeptical at first but I will never not have one.
Lexli skincare products, Clarisonic, and spironolactone. I get flower enzyme facials as upkeep (mostly a treat for myself). I still get an occasional breakout (one zit compared to multiple). I recently did a test to see if Lexli was actually "my," holy grail and it is. I broke out using other cleansers and moisturizers. I highly recommend Lexli. It is aloe based and soooooo wonderful.
My thoughts exactly ??
I'm in the same boat. So many days I want to cry. It can only get easier from here!

Louisville playing unselfish
LOUISVILLE, KY - Louisville coach Rick Pitino said before the season he had no idea who would lead the Cardinals in scoring.
Three games in, and Pitino still has no clue. Not that he's complaining. The Cardinals are off to a perfect 3-0 start behind the kind of unselfish play he says Louisville will need if it wants to compete in the Big East.
Louisville has had a different leading scorer in each of its three games and had at least four players score in double figures in each contest, including seven in a 106-65 rout of Chattanooga on Monday.
The Cardinals are averaging an assist on 72 percent of their field goals heading into Saturday's game against Marshall (3-1). Pitino called the number a sign his team knew it had to work together to be successful.

Heart institute boasts first fiber-optic phone system in Houma
Published: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 at 10:49 a.m.
HOUMA -- A local heart group known for pioneering techniques in cardiovascular care has made its latest technological stride in a different field.
The Cardiovascular Institute of the South has Houmas first fiber-optic digital-telephone system.
The Tadiran Telephone system, installed by Alliance Communications, is based on a military design intended to keep lines of communication open at all times. The state-of-the-art system is "extremely efficient and dependable" during the normal business day and will allow communication to continue during a crisis, such as a hurricane, institute staff said.
The heart group installed the system to satisfy its unique needs, said David Konur, CEO of Cardiovascular Institute of the South, in a news release. "We also realize that hurricanes are a part of life in south Louisiana and they pose unique challenges for all of us who live and work here. Addressing those challenges is of vital importance to the people we serve."
The fiber-optic voice circuit features a direct connection to BellSouth, allowing phone communication to continue despite electrical outages, long distances or exposure to water. This makes the system much more resistant to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, than traditional phone systems, said Jon Walker, chief information officer for the institute.
The heart group has used fiber optics to transmit data, such as documents and images, for more than a year, but recently started using that technology to transmit phone calls, said Jonathan Carothers, spokesman for the institute. So far, the fiber-optic phone system is used only at the Houma clinic, but could later expand to the institutes nine other clinics, Carothers said.
The system integrates staff cell phones with landlines, allowing the cell numbers to become global extensions of the phone system. Calls placed to staff members clinic extensions can be forwarded to their cell phones or other numbers, and calls to their cell phones can be forwarded back into the Houma clinic. This makes doctors more accessible to office staff, a critical need during emergencies.
The new circuit also includes voice over Internet protocol, or IP, which can change voice to data for digital transmission. This allows staff members to use their extensions from almost anywhere by connecting their handsets to the Internet. This feature could help the heart institute avoid a lapse in communications like that faced by many businesses after hurricanes Katrina and Rita, staff said. Though phones were often not useable after the storms, Internet access was possible.
The new system also creates more teleconferencing capabilities. Teleconferences play a daily part in modern business, but becomes crucial during a crisis when participants might be spread across a region. The new system allows more than 30 people to participate in a single teleconference, compared to the three-party maximum of traditional phone systems.

Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone enlisted Nicki Minaj for the track "The Creep" for a Saturday Night Live digital video short released in January and the song now has a spot on the collective's new record. Also on the record is "Shy Ronnie 2: Ronnie & Clyde," a duet (of sorts) with Rihanna and Andy Samberg.
Both Rihanna and Minaj have had guest spots on Saturday Night Live, including Minaj's "The Bride of Blackenstein." The Lonely Island's debut album Incredibad debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200 and included collaborations with Justin Timberlake and T-Pain.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday rebuffed calls to reverse her welcoming stance toward refugees after a series of brutal attacks in the country. Merkel, who interrupted her summer holiday to face the media in Berlin, said the four assaults within a week were "shocking, oppressive and depressing" but not a sign that authorities had lost control. Merkel repeated her rallying cry from last year when she opened the borders to people fleeing war and persecution, many from Syria, which brought nearly 1.1 million migrants and refugees to Germany in 2015.

Does Weekly Marijuana Use By Teens Really Cause a Drop in IQ?
Category: News | Posted on Wed, August, 29th 2012 by THCFinder
Heavy marijuana use is associated with cognitive decline in about 5% of teens, according to a new study, which suggests that the heaviest users could lose 8 IQ points.
In the report, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, research conducted in New Zealand showed that teens who started smoking marijuana before age 18 and were diagnosed as being addicted to cannabis by age 38 experienced an IQ drop in early adulthood. But users who began smoking after age 18—even if they used heavily— did not show a significant decline.
"The effect of cannabis on IQ is really confined to adolescent users," says lead author Madeline Meier, a postdoctoral researcher at Duke University, "Our hypothesis is that we see this IQ decline in adolescence because the adolescent brain is still developing and if you introduce cannabis, it might interrupt these critical developmental processes."
The authors followed 1037 children born in the town of Dunedin, New Zealand in 1972 and 1973, virtually every child. They defined adolescent use as at least weekly use before turning 18. In looking at the relationship between marijuana use and IQ, they controlled for factors like years of education, schizophrenia and use of alcohol or other drugs that might also have an effect on IQ. While education weakened the relationship, it still did not eliminate it.
Researchers also had family members and friends of the participants confidentially rate them on attention and memory skills and those who had lost IQ points showed problems in these areas. Meier notes that an 8 point decline in IQ for someone with average intelligence (an IQ score of 100; the 50th percentile) would move that person down to the 29th percentile. "It's fairly substantial but it does depend on where you start out," she says.

Very reasonable price for extremely expensive Ushuaia, especially considering you get a complete appartment with kitchen facilities. Very friendly and helpful owner, offered us luggage storage during our trekking for free. Be aware some of the appartments are more downtown in the Beauvoir street and another one more uphill and outside the town centre. Appartments are not particularly clean, not dirty but just a bit old and dusty.

"I'm going to say it makes me feel relief," Quinnipiac head coach Becca Main Kohli said. "I would most likely see this team at the NEC championships if we get there; hopefully we will get there. [Robert Morris is] a very good team. Very good relief to get a big win under our belt."
Scoring started early in the game when McCreedy scored unassisted off a penalty corner 8:55 into the first half.
Robert Morris answered nearly 13 minutes later when Chantele Crow took the penalty corner, sending the ball to Michelle Lewthwaite. Jamie Hartley then sent the ball past Bobcat goaltender Nicole Lewis, tying the game at 1.
"[Robert Morris has] some really good stick skills," Kohli said. "I hadn't seen that in a while, and I think across the board, they handled the ball very well. We had to be very smart defensively, balance, we had to work together, so that was the one thing I think was most difficult for us today."
Throughout the second half, both teams fought for control of the game. Quinnipiac had 15 total shots, while Robert Morris had 13. Neither could capitalize on their chances until overtime when Cunniff scored the winning goal.
"We stayed unified, stayed as a unit, and we passed," Kohli said. "Our goals today were taking quick free hits, pass the ball, and communicate. We did all three of those things and that's why we won."
The Bobcats return to play Sunday at noon to face Saint Francis (Pa.) at home for Quinnipiac's Play for the Cure game.

This is the first time I use UITabBarController.
Since I have to make all the initial viewControllers that tabBarController will hold, I find appDelegate(where I 'm creating the tabBarController) code is getting longer.
(all the delegate methods of the viewControllers are defined in appDelegate)
Since appDelegate has other things to do such as initializing user data/ handling push notification.. I'd like to move the tabBarController somewhere else.
I guess I could create a dummy controller and create tabBarController over there..
How do people usually create tabBarController application?

It's obvious that a lot of work went into this. Some people need to realize that not everyone who posts here has English as a first language, and they shouldn't criticize or nitpick such insignificant things when the important part is clarity of the message being conveyed. Awesome job on both parts of this Tourney.

In this engaging study, art historian Lopez examines-as did Edward Dolnick's Forger's Spell, published in June-the fascinating case of Han van Meegeren, a notorious Dutch art forger. Van Meegeren, who sold Hermann Goering a fake Vermeer, was convicted of collaboration; he became a folk hero for duping the Nazi leader. But according to Lopez, van Meegeren was a successful forger long before WWII, and contrary to van Meegeren's claim that he was avenging himself on the art critics who had scorned his own work, Lopez says he was motivated by financial gain and Nazi sympathies: "What is a forger if not a closeted Übermensch, an artist who secretly takes history itself for his canvas?" Lopez asks provocatively. The author gives a vivid portrait of the 1920s Hague, a stylish place of "mischief and artifice" where van Meegeren learned his trade, and brilliantly examines the influence of Nazi Volksgeist imagery on van Meegeren's The Supper at Emmaus, part of his forged biblical Vermeer series. Lopez's writing is witty, crisp and vigorous, his research scrupulous and his pacing dynamic. 88 b&w photos. (Sept.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

It's a story that made Dutch painter Han van Meegeren famous worldwide when it broke at the end of World War II: A lifetime of disappointment drove him to forge Vermeers, one of which he sold to Hermann Goering in mockery of the Nazis. And it's a story that's been believed ever since. Too bad it isn't true.
Jonathan Lopez has drawn on never-before-seen documents from dozens of archives to write a revelatory new biography of the world's most famous forger. Neither unappreciated artist nor antifascist hero, Van Meegeren emerges as an ingenious, dyed-in-the-wool crook—a talented Mr. Ripley armed with a paintbrush. Lopez explores a network of illicit commerce that operated across Europe: Not only was Van Meegeren a key player in that high-stakes game in the 1920s and '30s, landing fakes with famous collectors such as Andrew Mellon, but he and his associates later cashed in on the Nazi occupation.
The Man Who Made Vermeers is a long-overdue unvarnishing of Van Meegeren's legend and a deliciously detailed story of deceit in the art world.
Editorial Reviews
Those with a more serious interest in the subject . . . will close Dolnick's book with an uneasy feeling that it leaves out a lot, an impression amply justified by perusal of Lopez's more detailed and thoughtful work in "The Man Who Made Vermeers."
"From the outrageous swindles he perpetrated in Vermeer's name to the nefarious dealings he had with the Nazis in occupied Holland, Han van Meegeren's is an unforgettable, almost unbelievable story. Witty, erudite, and utterly compelling, Jonathan Lopez's account of the twentieth century's most notorious art forger is a must-reada book that makes Van Meegeren's fake Vermeers even more fascinating, I dare say, than the Delft master's originals."Caroline Weber, author of Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution

Chapter One
The Collaborator
THEY CAME FOR HIM on May 29, 1945. Shortly after 9:00 in the evening, Lt. Joseph Piller walked over to Keizersgracht 321 from his nearby headquarters on the Herengracht. An armed soldier was by his side. They had a car at their disposalone of the few working vehicles in the citybut tonight they had no intention of using it. They planned to conduct Han van Meegeren to Weteringschans Prison on foot, marching him through the streets at the point of a gun.
It was cool and damp in Amsterdam; it had rained on and off all day. Complete darkness had settled upon the city: there were no street lamps, no house lights, no bright points of illumination shining down from apartment windows. The electricity and gas had been shut off throughout the Dutch capital for months. Having promised to lead occupied Holland into a glorious new era under his rule, Hitler had instead plunged it back into the age of the candle and the kerosene lantern. Even with the Germans now defeated, the power grid wouldn't be up and running again for weeks; gas service wouldn't return to normal until the winter. And of course there had been other, more serious indignities visited upon the Dutch people that could never be set right at all.
Knocking on the front door of Van Meegeren's home, an elegant, centuries-old burgher's residence, Lieutenant Piller announced himself as an officer of the provisional military government, or Militair Gezag. Once the introductions were dispensed with, matters took their natural course. The silver-haired Van Meegeren, a small man with a theatrically large presence, expressed complete bewilderment at Piller's inquiries into Hermann Goering's seemingly looted Vermeer. And with regard to the five other biblical Vermeers that Lieutenant Piller had traced back to him, Van Meegeren was likewise unable to provide further particulars. Piller then asked how, exactly, Van Meegeren had gotten so rich amid the widespread deprivations of the war. "He said that he had sold a group of Flemish Primitives prior to the outbreak of hostilities," Piller noted in his statement for the case file, "and that it was in this way that he had come by his money." Having already interviewed enough people to know better, Lieutenant Piller wasted no time informing Van Meegeren that the game was over.
As Van Meegeren later described it, he remained stoic and inscrutable throughout the mile-long journey to the Weteringschans. If true, this was no mean feat: collaborators on their way to jail were often jeered at or accosted by angry bystanders, even at night, now that curfews had been abandoned. In the three weeks since the end of the war in Europe, the public humiliation of quislings had become victory's sideshow. Thousands of -German-friendly Dutchmen were being led off to prison all across the country, sometimes one by one and sometimes in large groups, stumbling along with their hands clasped behind their necks, their faces frozen with fear.
During the war, the Germans had used Weteringschans Prison as a way station for Amsterdam Jews picked up in night raids, or razzias. Anne Frank's family had been kept there before being sent on to the death camps. Located just a stone's throw from the Rijksmuseum, in the center of the city, it was a convenient place for the Gestapo to take care of the record keeping so important to their far-flung apparatus of murder. Resistance leaders had also been held at the Weteringschans; some had been tortured there; some had been put to death. That this hulking, high-walled, nineteenth-century jail was now filling up with the Nazis' friends and helpers was a kind of poetic justiceinadequate, to be sure, but gratifying nonetheless.
When they finally arrived at the prison, Lieutenant Piller gave Van Meegeren one last chance to tell the truth, instructing him to write down the names of the people who had provided him with the Vermeers.
"They tried to get me to talk," Van Meegeren later recalled, "but they did not succeed."
His stubbornness earned him a stay in solitary confinement. The guards shut him away sometime after 11:00 that nightand Lieutenant Piller, for his part, would have been content to let Van Meegeren rot in the Weteringschans forever.
JOSEPH PILLER WAS neither a professional soldier nor an expert in the history of art. He didn't understand the full details of Van Meegeren's case, and many of his assumptions about what had occurred would later turn out to be wrong. But Piller approached this matter, like everything else he was working on in those chaotic days just after the Liberation, with a sense of passion and purpose. "It was clear that I didn't like collaborators," he later remarked. "Too much had happened in my life to be kind to people like that. I was more extreme then. I was young and had witnessed many deaths, and I hated anyone who had worked with the Germans."
A self-described "simple Jewish boy," Joseph Piller had been living happily in Amsterdam until May 1940, when the Germans invaded the Netherlands. He soon found it expedient to take refuge in the countryside with his wife and infant daughter. A skinny twenty-six year old, a garment worker by trade, Piller had no prior experience with rural life, but he made the most of his time among the farms and fields of the tiny village of Emst. He joined the local Resistance and set to work finding hiding places for Jewish children from the cities: locating reliable farmers who could take on young "guests"; procuring false identity papers and ration cards through clandestine channels; raiding German storerooms for supplies; and keeping a constant eye out for the unwelcome attention of informants. This network was fully established and running smoothly when the admirable Piller suddenly found himself with additional responsibilities one day in 1942, when a British secret agent named Dick Kragt fell from the sky bearing special orders from London. Kragt had parachuted into the Netherlands on a mission to rescue Allied airmen shot down over occupied territoryto hide them, protect them, and then spirit them across the front lines to safety. And, together, Kragt and Piller proceeded to do just that, time and again, over the next two and half years, expanding the Underground's existing operation to accommodate the new assignment.
By the time he came face to face with Van Meegeren, Piller had been awarded an officer's commission in the newly reconstituted Dutch army. Indeed, he had assumed a leading role in investigating the goings-on at Amsterdam's famed Goudstikker gallery. A Jewish-owned business, the gallery had been taken over shortly after the invasion by one of Hermann Goering's henchmen, a -Bavarian banker named Alois Miedl. Known throughout the war years as the go-to man for German opportunists visiting the conquered Dutch capital, the chubby Miedl whiled away his evenings with the fast set of young Nazi officials who congregated at the bar of the sumptuous Amstel Hotel; he threw dinner parties for the likes of Ferdinand Hugo Aus der Fünten, the SS Hauptsturmführer in charge of transporting Dutch Jews to the death camps of Eastern Europe; and when VIPs came to town from Berlin, Miedl proudly led them on tours of the storerooms of looted Jewish valuablessilverware, furniture, porcelain, watches, wedding rings, children's toys. Lieutenant Piller, as he informed Allied investigators at the time, was convinced that Miedl had turned the Goudstikker gallery into a front where looted art got laundered into cash to finance the Nazis' Abwehr espionage ring. Given Miedl's well-timed escape to the safety of Falangist Spain toward the end of the war, such a theory seemed more than credible. Piller was after big game: spies, informers, the hidden financial workings of the Third Reich. It was in the course of looking into these matters that he happened upon the Van Meegeren case.
"I discovered that a painting had passed through Miedl's hands depicting Christ and the Adulteress, attributed to Johannes Vermeer," Piller stated in a later deposition. "Miedl bought it for 1.65 million guilders and then sold it to Hermann Goering. By interviewing various middlemen I realized that this work must have come from the artist Han van Meegeren.?Speaking to various other people, I soon discovered that a total of six paintings by Johannes Vermeer had appeared on the market since 1937 and that these also had come from the aforementioned Van Meegeren. I then went to Van Meegeren for an explanation."
But Van Meegeren was clearly not the type to explain. The man was a collaboratorPiller was quite sure of itand like all collaborators, Van Meegeren had covered his tracks. Although Piller could link him to the Vermeers through various dealers and straw men, the trail went cold from there. The experts whom Piller consulted said that these particular Vermeers were part of a special cycle of paintings, unusual for their biblical subject matter. It was thought that Vermeer might have painted them to decorate a schuilkerk, a hidden Catholic church, during the Reformation. If these pictures had originally belonged together, then it stood to reason that Van Meegeren and his accomplices might have looted all of them from a single collection. But which one, whereand who else was involved?
On June 11, 1945, Piller transferred Van Meegeren from the Weteringschans to a nearby interrogation facility on the Apollolaan. There, Piller and his men questioned Van Meegeren for an entire day, around the clock, without pause. Van Meegeren admitted to nothing: when asked a question, he would either turn away and face the wall or else answer with an elaborate non sequitur.
Piller then decided to try a more aggressive tactic. He told Van Meegeren that the Allies had tracked down Miedl in Spainwhich, in fact, was true. Piller then suggested that Miedl was prepared to testify under oath that Van Meegeren had come to the Goudstikker gallery with the sole intention of doing business with highly placed Germans, a threat that Piller invented out of thin air. If Van Meegeren refused to divulge the names of his accomplices, Piller could still get him for trading with the enemyeven without an admission of guilton the basis of Miedl's supposed testimony.
Piller asked Van Meegeren one last time where Hermann -Goering's Vermeer had come from.
"He turned to me," Piller recalled, "and he said: 'I did it. I painted it.'"
For perhaps the first time in his life, Han van Meegeren was being entirely honest. And to Joseph Piller's everlasting astonishment, he found himself believing Van Meegeren's confession almost immediately. "I was sure of it," Piller later observed. "Van Meegeren had done it. It was completely in keeping with human nature. He was someone who felt misunderstood by everyone involved with art. He wanted to show the world what he could really do.?After twenty-four hours of questioning, once you came to understand his psychology, it made perfect sense."
Indeed it did. And suddenly, Joseph Piller, who had just come through his own five-year David-and-Goliath struggle, saw something in Han van Meegeren that he rather liked.

This resort has something for everyone. we stayed week of June 7-14 for our honeymoon and it was the perfect spot for us. staff is friendly, good food, great infinity pool and something for everyone whether its couple or families. Robbie is a great bartender and took care of us all week. the housekeeping was outstanding, very clean unit and did a great job all week. lots of little services that may go unnoticed, like towels for the pool, etc, but the staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. highlight of the week was Capt Herman cooking us an UNBELIEVABLY GOOD meal in our room after fishing with him during the day. super cool guy who made our last night on the island a really fun experience. only reason not 5 stars is the shore isn't the best for "swimming" in the sea. good for snorkeling, not so much for swimming. it's pretty rocky and a lot of seaweed near the shoreline and construction was going on to build a new building. it didn't really interfere with anything we did at the resort, just had to walk around sites that were work areas. the best thing is you are close enough to other things like Rum Point and Kaibo, restaurants like Tukka and Capt Herman's fish fry, that you can really relax and feel like you are secluded but also have a good variety to things to do on vacation. you definitely will need a car to stay here, it's about a 45 min drive from the airport, pretty much two lane road from Bodden to east end up to Rum Point. but don't let that be a deterrent, you have the freedom to explore and see all the island has to offer. there is also a grocery store very close, closed on Sunday I think. but very convenient to pick up a few things you need as you go thru the week, whether it lunch items, water camera, snacks, etc. a little pricy at the store, but still a good convenience. we would definitely go back to this resort again! Thanks Capt Herman, the meal was amazing!!!!!!!
