I haven't posted in a while but I have been baking. This weekend I made Hamelman's Five-grain levain. The only changes I made was to use whole rye berries as opposed to rye chops and also pumpkin seeds in place of the sunflower seeds. I didn't realize I was out until it was to late. I baked one of the loaves on the day the mixed the dough and put the rest of the dough in the refrigerator overnight. I wanted to compare the flavor and texture the cold fermentation had on the dough. I also had to try the Meteils au Bleu after reading Pamela's "The Saga of the Little Meteils au Bleu." They turned out great. I was proud of the sourdough because the loaves had great oven spring. I also was able to find the bleu d'Auvergne. The blue cheese that was recommended for this bread. Oh MY! This is some funky cheese. Not just a few little strips of mold in this cheese but globs of furry gooey mold! The bread turned out delicious. I have also been working on baguettes. I will try to post my results soon. Here are a few pictures of the spoils.

Hi Folks,
You guys have seen this many times over and I was hesitant to post it, but I really wanted to acknowledge the generous spirit of TRAILRUNNER and MARNI who were kind enough to give me the link on how to make a woven round challah. This was like a month ago and I finally got around to doing it last Good Friday. I was quite nervous at first, and the instructions given on the site were rather confusing but I managed to get it right on the second try. I'll have to do it soon again lest I forget the technique.
I followed the technique posted by Tamar Ansh on chabad dot org, but I took the recipe from triple w sugarlaws dot com for her braided bread recipe. I find that her recipe seems to have the right proportions because the dough just comes together beautifully. I've come across recipes where I had to over-knead or underknead but hers was the ideal mix.
So trailrunner (Caroline) and Marni, you did ask for photos, so here it is!
My favorite buns.
Cut the top with scissors and put butter and sugar. Yummy! I used Swedish Pearl Sugar that I bought at IKEA. It's crunchy and sweet!
After many recent flops with my baking, it was SO rewarding to have a huge hit this morning! The house smells wonderful and we almost couldn't wait for them to cool to get the icing on. I may never eat a canned cinnamon roll again. I attempted to make these very slightly more healthy with some of the substitutions below as well as using considerably less raw sugar in spice mix and icing. With the melange of flavors it wasn't missed at all.
SulaBlue's Cranberry-Orange Cinnamon Buns
(Modified from Peter Reinhart's Cinnamon Buns and Sticky Buns, Bread Baker's Apprentice, pg 143)
3.25 oz granulated sugar
.25 oz salt
2.75oz butter or shortening (I used Smart Balance 50/50 blend)
1.65oz 1 large egg (I used Egg Beaters)
2-3 drops orange oil
16 oz unbleached bread or all-purpose flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
.22 oz instant yeast
9-10 oz whole milk or buttermilk, at room temp (I used 2%)
OR 1oz powdered milk + 8oz water
2.5 oz granulated sugar
1T ground cinnamon
Contents of 2 caradmom pods, ground
Dash of ground cloves
2 oz dried cranberries
2 oz pecan pieces
2 oz confectioner's sugar
2T or so 2% Milk
A few drops of orange oil
1. Cream together sugar, salt, and butter. Reinhart says if you are using powdered milk to put the milk powder in now, but add the water with the flour and yeast.
2. Mix in the egg and orange oil until lump-free, then add flour, yeast and milk. Add water now if you used milk powder.
3. Flour a pastry cloth and rub the flour in well. Turn dough out and sprinkle a minimum dusting of flour on top. Flour hands lightly and knead by hand for 10-15 mins until it passes the 'windowpane test.' Dough will become very slightly tacky and have a good spring-back to it.
4. Proof at room temp until doubled, about 2 hours.
5. Turn dough out onto pastry cloth and roll dough into a 12"x14" inch rectangle that is approximately 1/2" thick (Reinhart recommends 2/3rds, but that just seemed overly doughy to me. Add as little flour as possible during rolling. I use a rolling pin cover to avoid adding extra flour to keep it from sticking.
6. Shake on sugar-spice mixture, then sprinkle on cranberries and nuts.
7. Take the long end and begin to roll-and-tuck. Roll the dough forward, then without releasing pull back slightly to form a tighter roll. Complete the roll-and-tuck until you reach the end.
8. Trim ends of dough if they are tapered/irregular. You can either discard this or smoosh it together for that 'baker's dozen' one that you'll just -have- to eat right out of the oven. Cut the remaining dough into 12 equal pieces about 1" thick. Place the rounds on a sheet pan about 1/2" apart. Sprinkle any remaining spice mix on top of buns, careful not to dust it onto your pan where it may burn.
9. Proof at room temp for 75-90 minutes until the pieces have almost doubled and have grown into another. Reinhart says you can retard the shaped buns in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and pull the pan out of the fridge 3-4 hours before baking to allow the dough to proof.
10. Preheat oven to 350F with oven rack at the middle.
11. Bake for 20-30 minutes at NO HIGHER than 350F. Caramelization happens at 350F. A higher temperature may result in the sugar burning. If you have pans that are prone to giving your baked goods dark bottoms you may want to double-pan
12. When rolls are done, remove from the oven and allow to sit in the pan to cool for at least 5-10 minutes to cool. Eat the funny-shaped end piece to tide you over and to hide the evidence ;) While they are cooling mix the ingredients for the icing in a small bowl using a fork. Add just enough milk to make the icing pourable without being runny. Use the fork to drizzle icing over the rolls.
This is something I'm finally proud enough to submit to Wild Yeast's Yeast Spotting. This week's Yeast Spotting is being hosted by Zorra.
Peach Daisy Ring for Easter.
This is our Easter Sweet Bread. Glazed with homemade peach jam, almond icing dotted with slivers of fresh almonds.
I have continued to play with my formula for what I call "San Joaquin Soudough." This continuing series of experiments started with my curiosity as to whether the baguette formula of Anis Bouabsa could be applied to other types of bread than baguettes. The short answer is, of course, "yes."
The basic approach I have been using is described in detail in the following blog entry:
The present variation used 10% KAF White Whole Wheat flour, 90% KAF Bread flour and a slightly higher hydration - 76%. The techniques for mixing, fermentation, etc. were as I have described before. So, the ingredients were:
Ripe 65% hydration sourdough starter....100 gms
Water........................................................380 gms
KAF Bread Flour.........................................450 gms
KAF White Whole Wheat Flour...................50 gms
Sea Salt.........................................................10 gms
Instant Yeast................................................1/4 tsp
The combined effect of the different flours and the higher hydration was to yield a dramatically different bread with a much more open crumb structure - really ciabatta-like.
Now, I did bake these loaves under an aluminum foil roasting pan for the first 12 minutes and then for another 18 minutes uncovered. The oven spring was massive. My scoring was obliterated. Examination of the crust coloration of the bloom revealed that the bloom occurred very early in the bake and very rapidly. (The coloration was even and not different from the rest of the crust. See my Scoring Tutorial in the TFL Handbook for further explanation.)
With the higher hydration and covered baking, the crust softened quickly during cooling. The crumb was like a good ciabatta - very tender yet still chewy. The taste is very mildly sour, even on the day after baking. It made a delicious sandwich with Toscano salami, Beaver Brand Sweet Hot mustard and lettuce. (Sorry, Mini. It definitely would drip mayonnaise in your lap.)
This bread presented me with a number of surprises, but I'm far from disappointed. I'm happy to have a "new" bread in my repertoire.
I have tried to recreate a delicious roll made at the Smith and Wollensky restaurant in Washington, D.C. The rolls are served piping hot with melted butter and sprinkled with coarse salt and rosemary on the tops. Delicious! When I did the same, my rolls appeared cloudy, kind of messy on the tops. The salt was OK: It didn't melt. Is it the butter? I can't figure out what's wrong. I've got a batch rising right now and I'd like to use the salt and butter but I don't want the messy look. Any suggestions? Eve
Well it's Good Friday and time for some Hot Cross Buns and good memories! Mom made Hot Cross Buns all year round. They were a favorite to take on their weekly fishing trips. Back in the 70's I gave her a recipe for them I found in my Sunset Magazine's Bread recipe book...I still have it! Today I tweeked the recipe and added some K.A. Organic White Wheat, Brown Sugar, some very fresh veitnamese cinnamon, grated nutmeg and cloves along with my home grown citrus lemon and orange candied peels,organic currants and a little orange juice. The cross is made with a lemon glaze. They were basted with egg yolk just before baking...Mom would have been pleased! They are very tasty...Oh yes, and saved one for the tradition/superstition that hanging a hot cross bun on Good Friday assures it will never mold and protects the home from fires and your breads will always rise!....We need all the protection from fires we can get here in So. Calif. and of coarse who doesn't want their bread to rise! Ha, Ha...I have the perfect place for my bun.
I had 30 buns...29 to eat!
Very Tasty...but not as good as Mom's! She made hers a lot bigger!
This was my husbands 'Mike' mothers little house she brought back many years ago from Mexico! Being Irish and being somewhat superstitious...why not...I'll let you know if it molds! ; )
note: His little pan of buns!
My first try to use a starter to bake a sourdough bread was Mountaindog's Cherry Pecan Pain au Levain which was so dense and almost unedible. I was sure something was not right with my starter. So I requested MD post some pictures of his levains for me for guidance, which he did with nice illustrations. I followed that to feed my starter for over a week and tried to build a levain with bubbles that would match those of MD's and finally I thought my starter was ripe enough to make breads, I tried the Country French Bread (Thom Leonard's), also from MD's blog :
The crumb was still a little dense because I overlooked the part on folding. So a week later I had another try and followed the recipe as closely as possible and this was a better one :
I was so happy that my starter finally is working and the following one is Richard Bertinet's sourdough bread with a small touch of spelt flour :
Honestly, I like the flavour of the Country French Bread more. My next exercise will be the Pecan Cranberry Pain au Levain, again.
I would like to thank everybody on this site for their generosity of sharing techniques, experiences, recipes, etc. and a special thanks to Mountaindog's encouragement!
I had taken a few loaves (my first attempt) Paul's Sweet Vanilla Challah from the oven and was working on my photo's. I went back to get the smaller loaf to re- do the shot and it had been assaulted! My shaping was out of practice on my challah, but the taste is fantastic.

Lumber center sold to workers
HOUMA -- Morrison Terrebonne Lumber Center was sold to four of its longstanding employees -- Doug Gregory, Keith Voisin, David Vice and Greg Landry -- on Friday.
Combined, the new owners possess nearly 80 years of experience in the lumber and building-material industry.
MTLC, the product of two of Houma's independent lumberyards, Morrison Home Center and Terrebonne Lumber and Concrete Co., merged their lumber and building material operations in March 1999 to form the new company.
The company has 85 employees.
Gregory, a native of Lafayette, has accepted the position of president and CEO. Gregory had served as chief financial officer since the company's inception and was instrumental in the union of the two parent companies.
Voisin will serve as vice president of retail and marketing. Formerly, he served as MTLC's contractor sales manager.
Vice has 18 years with the company and will function as vice president of operations. He has held a range of positions with the company including sales, estimating, purchasing and expediting.
Landry, the company's former construction estimator, will act as the company's vice president of contractor sales.
Whitney donates to coastal effort
HOUMA -- New Orleans-based Whitney National Bank has donated $50,000 to America's Wetland, a campaign to save coastal Louisiana.
The campaign is a three-year bipartisan effort to raise awareness of Louisiana's wetland loss.
The bank's commitment to the campaign will include several grassroots local events to promote its mission, said Don Hingle, president of Whitney's south-central region.
Corps announces position changes
NEW ORLEANS -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently named Gregory E. Breerwood chief operations officer for its New Orleans District, which includes Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
The Corps also reported Walter Baumy Jr. was named chief of the district's engineering division.
A 32-year veteran of the New Orleans district, Breerwood previously served as deputy chief of operations. He earned his civil engineering degree from Louisiana Tech and a master's degree in engineering from Tulane University. Breerwood has also served as chief of the readiness and navigation branches and head of various other operations teams, such as dredging and lock sections.
In his new capacity, Breerwood will oversee an annual program totaling $185 million, which oversees 2,800 miles of navigable waterways and operates 12 navigation locks and numerous control structures.
Baumy previously served as chief of the Corps' civil branch. A 28-year veteran of the Corps, Baumer earned his engineering degree from the University of New Orleans and a master's degree in civil engineering from Tulane University.

Township officials are working with Canfield city to enhance the Austintown Fire Department's radio-dispatch signal.
Jim Davis, Austintown trustee chairman, said the township recently looked into finding a new location for the fire department's backup radio antenna, now at the Austintown Police Department.
Davis said the fire department is operating under the backup radio system because the regular 800-MHz frequency system needed to be rebanded. This means the frequencies will be moved to reduce the chance of interference between public- safety services and cellular services.
Fire Chief Andy Frost Jr. has said when the trucks get to certain outskirts, they're unable to communicate to dispatch, Davis said. "They can't get any sort of frequency on these radios because the antenna isn't up high enough."
He said often firefighters aren't able to communication with one another.
"We're talking about the safety of our firefighters," Davis said. "I don't like to hear they don't have the proper communications."
Assistant Chief Andy Frost III said the backup antenna at the police station is only about 80 feet in the air. Frost said moving the antenna will alleviate the problem.
"We're having a real problem especially over in the Cornersburg and Wickliffe areas, in those extreme corners," he said. "Moving the antenna is going to put us so much higher in the air, we'll have all the areas covered."
Davis said the trustees hoped to put the antenna on the Austintown water tower on Kirk Road, which is owned by the city of Youngstown, but had to move to plan B after speaking with city officials.
"I called Mayor [Jay] Williams and explained the potential for collaborative effort and said, 'Here's a good opportunity for the city to work with the township,'" Davis said.
He said Williams checked with the city water department and was told that moving the antenna to the city-owned tower wasn't possible because of security concerns, such as giving the township access to the water tower to do any necessary maintenance on the antenna.
Williams said Friday that a meeting will be set to further discuss use of the Kirk Road tower, although plans are already shaping up to move the antenna to Canfield.
The meeting is at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Youngstown Water Department, Davis said.
Davis said after looking into other options within the township, trustees met with Canfield City Manager Joe Warino to discuss placing the antenna on a tower off state Route 11.
"We explained to [Canfield] our situation," Davis said. "We need to do a study to find out if our antenna will interfere with the ones that are already up there, and as long as that study comes back fine, they will grant us permission."
Warino said Canfield sees no safety issue with granting Austintown access to its tower.
"From the discussion we've had, I think this is an emergency situation," he said. "There's a little bit of ground work that can be done. Once we test the system, we can get into a little more detail on the placement and timing."
Davis said because the tower is outside township boundaries, the antenna's frequency will need rezoned to include Canfield as well, which will cost about $500, in addition to installation.
He said moving the antenna to the Kirk Road tower wouldn't have cost the township anything extra.
Warino said the city is glad to help Austintown solve a major safety problem.
"If we can provide assistance to Austintown, I think it will be better for all of us," he said.
Davis said the trustees and fire personnel are "elated."
"We looked at every possible option within our township, and it seemed like there was just always a hangup," he said.
"Canfield is coming to our rescue to save us ... And that's what good neighbors do."
Leave it to the city of Youngstown -- always preaching regionalism and cooperation and now saying they don't trust the Austintown Fire Department to be anywhere near the water tower. Way to go Jay.
So, the Austintown Police Dept can protect the water tower area from vandals, and the Austintown Fire Department can protect the area from fire BUT since the Mayor doesn't like the trustees Austintown is suddenly not trustworthy should the antenna need maintenance? Mayor Williams, it is time to practice what you preach. You claim to desire that we act as a "region" but you only want that when it financially benefits you. You have no interest is working toward the safety of the "region". You really are the pompous jerk that people say you are. Thank you Canfield for seeing that the safety of these men who are there to keep the residents safe are safe themselves.
Good Work Davis! When it comes to safety, there should be no questions. But then again look at the peril that Mayor Jay puts his own safety forces in everyday, why would he care about Austintown's.
Good ole Mr.Williams. Nice way to come through and be a team player. I am proud of Canfield for coming through for A-Town, it makes me proud to live in Canfield.
Oh yeah! I forgot!! Jay, your welcome for the bailout of your bus system too...It is so nice to see so many empty buses running around now that we have restored all of the routes and started new ones.
A Cell Phone or two solve the problem when they are out in the boonies?

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College men's soccer team won its home NESCAC quarterfinal vs. Wesleyan on Saturday in dramatic fashion, as goalie Greg Sydor stopped two consecutive Cardinal penalty kicks to help the Panthers advance, 5-4, in a penalty-kick shootout after the teams finished regulation and two overtimes in a 1-1 tie.
MIDDLEBURY — After Saturday's 4-1 home victory over Colby in a NESCAC quarterfinal, the Middlebury College field hockey team will enter this weekend's league final four at Bowdoin with an 11-game winning streak, a 15-1 record, and the No. 3 ranking in NCAA Division III — behind only No. 1 Salisbury and No. 2 Bowdoin.
Division I Final at Rutland High
11/8 #1 MUHS vs. #2 St. J ................. 5 p.m.
Division III Final at Rutland High
11/8 #1 OV vs. #2 Fairfax .................. 2 p.m.
MIDDLEBURY — The next game for the undefeated defending Division I champion Middlebury Union High School football team is the D-I final at Rutland High School on Saturday, and the next opponent is also undefeated St. Johnsbury.
On this past Friday, the top-seeded, 10-0 Tigers posted their fourth shutout in their past five games, 42-0, over visiting No. 5 Colchester. On Saturday, No. 2 St. Johnsbury defeated No. 3 Essex, 26-6.
MIDDLEBURY — Running on its home course on Saturday, the Middlebury College women's cross-country team, ranked No. 3 in NCAA Division III, edged No. 7 Williams for the NESCAC championship, 38-47.
The league title was the 13th for the Panther women, and Saturday marked the first time the team hosted the NESCAC championship meet since 2003.
The Panther men, ranked No. 9, took third place with 80 points behind No. 3 Williams (39) and No. 7 Colby (76).
CASTLETON — Following an impressive senior season, Castleton State senior field hockey player and Otter Valley Union High School graduate Kristy Pinkham was last week named the North Atlantic Conference Player of the Year.
AMHERST — The fifth-seeded Middlebury College women's soccer team on Saturday topped host No. 4 seed Amherst, 1-0, to advance to the NESCAC semifinals for the 11th time in 15 years. The Panthers improved to 10-6 and Amherst dropped to 11-5.
Top seed Williams will host the NESCAC final four this weekend. The Panthers will face Williams in an 11 a.m. semifinal on Saturday. No. 2 Bowdoin will meet No. 3 Connecticut in the other contest at 1:30 p.m. The winners meet for the NESCAC title on Sunday at noon.
WATERBURY — The fashion mags suggest bold prints and the color gray are in this fall, but trendy hunters always choose hunter orange.
That's because season after season, smart hunters choose fluorescent hunter orange. They know they are safer and understand it helps preserve Vermont's hunting heritage. Because no matter how rare, each hunting-related shooting reinforces the mistaken perception that hunting is dangerous.

followed_user_ids string with:
followed_user_ids = Relationship.send(:construct_finder_sql,
select: "followed_id",
conditions: { follower_id: :user_id })
Only problem is that
construct_finder_sql was depreciated in Rails 3, so as well as not knowing if what I wrote was at all correct, I can't use it anyway. So, is there a Rails 3 way of creating a subselect string using ActiveRecord (that could preferably still use the
:user_id parameter) that would work in this situation?

The Dallas Cowboys are finally getting to see fourth-round pick Akwasi Owusu-Ansah on the field.
Owusu-Ansah is practicing with the Cowboys for the first time
since being drafted in April. The rookie cornerback-kick returner
suited up for Wednesday's lone practice.
Owusu-Ansah missed all offseason workouts because of shoulder
surgery before the draft. He missed the start of training camp,
when the Cowboys said he was also dealing with a hamstring issue.
In special team drills at the start of practice, Owusu-Ansah
moved swiftly while returning kickoffs.
Rookie linebacker Sean Lee, the second-round pick, is also back
after missing more than a week with a strained quadriceps.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension's investigation into a deadly highway shootout in Eden Prairie is now complete and in the hands of the Hennepin County Attorney.
Dawn Pfister and Matthew Serbus were shot by police in February after a car chase on Highway 212.
Four law enforcement officers were involved: two were from Chaska, one was from Carver County, and one from the Minnesota State Patrol. That's why the BCA handled the investigation.
No further details were released.
With all officer-involved shooting death cases, the investigation goes to the grand jury next.
The grand jury could take several months before reaching a conclusion.

All rights reserved. This chapter describes the emergence of national and international central securities depositories (CSDs) and the systems of tiered account-based security ownership they support. It examines clearing and settlement risks, including principal risk now largely removed by DVP, and liquidity risk reduced but far from fully removed by multilateral netting. Liquidity demand and the complexity of some underlying transactions results in a surprisingly high volume of postponed settlements (trade fails). Systems of clearing and settlement were resilient during the crisis of 2008, but the remarkable complexity of these networks suggests two policy concerns that need further examination. Problems in clearing and settlement could still magnify or transmit systemic financial risk in a future crisis, if firms do not again obtain public sector support; and the sheer complexity of clearing and settlement arrangements may both create operational risks and heighten barriers to entry, hence reducing competition and raising costs to investors. © 2016, IGI Global.

Editors: Remenyi, D Abstract: The paradoxical requirements of knowledge sharing and information security bring various knowledge management (KM) issues that affect both individuals' day-to-day work and the overall organisation's performance. This was the basis of a case study tackled by a team from Loughborough University. The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) is an organisation that combines knowledge and expertise from partnerships with academia, industry and the UK government, in order to deliver innovative low carbon solutions. Operating within a complex governance structure, the organisation works to meet the expectations of various stakeholders, comply with legal parameters of its membership model (to protect its unique knowledge and arising intellectual property), deliver innovative solutions many of which are of a competitive nature, and, disseminate this knowledge effectively and on time. Thus, the management of both, 'knowledge sharing' and 'information security', is an operational challenge for the ETI. The aim of the KM initiative was to (i) understand the current knowledge sharing and information security practices at the ETI and (ii) identify ways of improving knowledge sharing within and beyond the organisation. The KM initiative consisted of the development of an innovative and creative Action Learning (AL) approach through which ETI project teams combined their knowledge and experiences to identify their organisation's current knowledge sharing and information security practices and collectively devised practical solutions. Thus, through the combined effort of its project teams, the ETI was able to learn effectively and efficiently as an organisation about its challenges and the subsequent changes required, incorporate these in its KM strategy and initiate relevant changes to improve its KM. In addition to the value and benefits it has brought for the ETI, this innovative initiative has made methodological, theoretical and practical contributions to and received excellent feedback from international KM and AL communities.

The first published academic research on the performance of managed futures appeared in the 1980s. Researchers who adopted similar performance metrics to assess managed futures in different time periods reached similar conclusions as earlier studies about the benefits of managed futures. Some recent studies address the issues of performance persistence and market-timing ability of managed futures traders. Following the onset of the financial crisis of 2007-2008, researchers also reassessed the diversification benefits of managed futures and the low correlations of their returns with those of stocks and bonds.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Bentley Continental
By KBB.com Editors
Even in the rarified air of ultra-luxury vehicles, few combine the performance, pampering and prestige found in the 2013 Bentley Continental. The Continental is available as a coupe (GT), convertible (GTC), and sedan (Flying Spur), with Speed variants of each offering more of just that. While the big sedan is as distinguished as the 2-door Continental counterparts, 2013 marks its last year in current guise ahead of an all-new 2014 Flying Spur model. As praiseworthy as the sedan is, it's the coupe and convertible that really steal the show in the Continental lineup with their hulking excess. With thundering 8- and 12-cylinder engines and immaculate interiors, these handmade British automobiles more than hold their own against rivals from Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin and Maserati among the world's .01 percenters.
If potent performance is just as important to you as interior opulence, it doesn't get much better than a Bentley. The Continental's eloquent interior speaks of the finest British coachwork, while the vehicle's mechanicals feature some of the best German engineering.
You don't need to shell out $200,000 for Continental-like luxury and performance. You can spend much less money and have access to far larger dealer networks with a Mercedes-Benz S-, CL- or CLS-Class, BMW 6 or 7 Series, or even an S5 or S8 from Audi, which shares Bentley's VW corporate parent.
Bentley Continental GT coupe and convertible models now have an 8-speed ZF transmission that helps attain (slightly) better fuel economy, while the 2013 Flying Spur sedan continues with a 6-speed transmission before the vehicle's 2014 revamp. The GT Speed coupe and convertible performance variants boast additional power, with their 12-cylinder engines tuned to unleash 616 horsepower.
All 2013 Bentley Continental models have the power to blast their considerable mass from 0 to 60 mph in the 4-second range and hit top speeds of nearly 200 mph...
... or, in the case of Speed models, beyond. These are sports-car figures, but Continentals are not necessarily sports cars. A hushed, comfortable ride takes priority over racecar-like agility. Driving a Continental is meant to be an experience in elegant motoring. These cars just happen to also have the means to blow past lesser cars – which is most every car – when duty calls. The Continental's all-wheel-drive system provides excellent grip in slippery conditions, and the newer 8-speed ZF automatic transmission is smooth, especially in sport mode. On open roads, the 2013 Bentley Continental is bliss. Parking lots are another matter, especially for the coupe models and convertibles with the top raised. These cars' beautifully sloped roofs compromise rear visibility, which can make backing up your $200,000 vehicle dicey. Spend extra and get the rearview camera.
Unless you're an audiophile, Naim may not be a familiar name to you. After hearing what this British audio brand serves up in its components tailored for Bentley vehicles, you'll never forget it. These available ultra-premium sound systems turn the cabin into an auditorium for musical bliss.
Every knob, every surface and, well, just about everything you come into contact with in a Bentley Continental speaks a tactile language all its own. It's a language of nobility and opulence. For proof, nothing more is needed than a press of the sturdy metal ventilation buttons.
If you've ever wondered what sets a $200,000 vehicle apart from a $20,000 vehicle, step inside a 2013 Bentley Continental. The fit and finish are nearly without peer. The interior is leather, of course. But it's not just any leather. Only the finest, most premium and most blemish-free hides are selected. Metal and wood abound. Everything breathes quality, from the Breitling analog clock in the center stack to the diamond-pattern hide on the interior door panels. The two rear seats in the GT and GTC are tight for adults. The Flying Spur's bench offers more room and heating/massaging function for the outer seats, just like those in front, and can be configured with two individual seats.
Some cars are described as having "presence," an essence that exceeds mere physical size. The 2013 Bentley Continental abounds in it. Even the Bentley GT coupe and GTC convertible, at less than 190 inches in length – slightly shorter than a Honda Accord sedan – possess this trait. These two are the real lookers of the Continental lineup with their muscular curves that run front to back, defined best in their exaggerated rear haunches where the sloping roof and sides intersect. The Flying Spur sedan shares the big quad headlights up front but is statelier and much longer overall. At over 208 inches in length, this is not a small car by any means.
Needless to say, every Bentley is exceedingly well equipped. Some of the more prominent features include a high-resolution touchscreen command center with navigation, massive 20-inch wheels, bi-xenon projector headlights, an 8-speaker sound system, and a power trunk (or "boot," as it's called across the Pond). GTC convertibles have a power-operated 4-layer insulated roof. Speed models have a more powerful version of Bentley's already-potent 12-cylinder engine. Though parking sensors are standard, surprisingly, a rear-view camera is not. That's a shame on a car costing as much as a house, and is a feature highly advised especially on 2-door models with their compromised rear visibility.
Aside from the much-advised rearview camera, other options of note include the premium Naim audio system, an iPod interface, heated steering wheel, radar-based adaptive cruise control, carbon-ceramic brakes, and lambswool rugs. GT and GTC models can be equipped with 21-inch alloy wheels. We're quite fond of the electronically adjustable neck warmer in the convertible models, perfect for those cool nights when you want to cruise top down under starry skies.
Power for all 2013 Bentley Continentals, save the GT V8 and GTC V8, comes from a twin-turbocharged W12 engine mated to either a 6-speed or 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. The twin-turbocharged V8 is a powerhouse in its own right, making 500 horsepower and offering improved fuel economy compared with the 12-cylinder engines. All Bentley Continentals feature all-wheel drive, which enhances traction. The 8-speed transmission found in the fresher GT and GTC models helps fuel economy, but every model except the V8 Continental GT coupe is still subject to a gas guzzler tax. The Continental is also E85-compatible.

"A lot of people say I bought the car for prestige, but the truth is I bought it for the styling. When I first saw a Bentley Continental GTC V8, I saw the rear first with the big butt end and then the flowing lines to the top and the sides. It is something else! As far as performance it is a ten, in fact everything is a 10 except the price. I purchased the car for $50,000 below MSRP, a lot of markup and it was the end of the year. I have had the car for 5 months and not a problem in 2,200 miles. Everyone thinks it is a hardtop, but the four layers of roofing makes it so quiet. My suggestion is to buy a used one with low miles. The rich seem to drive less, myself it is to be driven. If you ever thought of owning one, a used late model year is the way to go. Let them pay the depreciation. It is a great fun car to drive."

"I have been fortunate to have owned many cars, and many high end offerings from Germany, the UK and Italy at that. When I bought my Bentley GT Continental, I considered (and drove) an Aston Martin DB9 and Mercedes CL63 AMG. I had owned both an Aston and AMG car before so expected to favor one of those over a car which was being described as a tuned up VW. Fortunately I drove all 3 the same day. The decision was an easy one at that point, the Bentley was the clear winner in performance, driving dynamics, and overall impression. The Aston was gorgeous and Benz solid, but the Bentley got my nod, from the moment I sat in it, and it sealed the deal within 5 minutes of driving it. Now years later, the Bentley remains as one of the most amazing cars I have ever driven. My current stable includes an Aston, Ferrari, R8, and a few others. If I could only keep one car, it would be the Bentley. In a straight line, particularly from 50-150, it's 12 cylinder 552 horses can keep pace with just about any supercar. Yet it can seat 4 adults and haul a lot of luggage and it would do so in a classy style only Rolls Royce can match. There is something special about Bentley design and fit and finish. It oozes classy luxury. Driving it is an occasion, the smells and feel evoke a feeling of being spoiled and pampered. Some expensive cars don't feel expensive, this one does. Usually this GT takes you from A to B in style, comfort, and quiet. But when your sporty gene flares up, just pop it into sport mode, tighten the suspension settings, watch the spoiler go up and you are in a rocket ship. Its AWD also makes it even better in the wet compared to its competition. Lookswise, only Aston' DB9 is prettier among GT coupes. To boot, Bentley has outstanding customer service, unlike any other maker I have ever seen (save perhaps Aston's). Overall, this is a car that has no competition in its class in my view and when it comes time for me to replace it, it will be with the exact same model."

Romney is an intelligent candidate who would probably make a decent president. But he cannot win. The South will stay home rather than vote for a Mormon, and no Republican can win without the South. QED.

Lots of stereotyping going on with their assumptions today.

Fundamentalists hate Mormons and would not vote for one?
Voters crave "moderates?"
Perhaps it looks that way through the liberal prism shared by this pair of pundits, and they probably said the same things about Ronald Reagan when he was running.
However, like most in the media, they have left the liberals and Democrats and their supporters exempt from jusstifiable criticism about their policies and statements.

re: Joe Blow: If the candidate were a Muslim, Buddhist or Agnostic that had personally ran a corporation that funded and established American companies, came into a politically charged and fiasco filled Olympic process and made it a huge success, and was elected governor in an eastern state with a long standing record of voting for the opposite party, and had supported candidates from his party throughout the country with his fund raising and speeches for the last 3 plus years, then I think LDS would give the person votes no matter their religion. After all, they have been voting for President for those not of their religion in every election since statehood.

If Huntsman is not VP pick, he should run as an independent. I'd say Democrats should be worried about that scenario, except that I think they'd ultimately be very satisfied with Jon Huntsman as president. Delegates crave wingnuts, but the American voters want a moderate.

Chantal Ringuet
When Chantal Ringuet discovered that her adopted city of Montréal had once been a prominent center of Yiddish culture, she decided to explore that fascinating world.
A francophone born in Quebec City, Ringuet's dissertation in literature focused on women writers from Quebec, but she decided to learn Yiddish and received a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council grant which allowed her to pursue two years of postdoctoral research on Yiddish literature in Montreal. Since then, she has published a cultural essay, À la découverte du Montréal Yiddish (with 150 photographs), an anthology of Yiddish literature in Canada in French translation (Voix Yiddish de Montréal), as well as two poetry collections, one that was awarded the Prix littéraire Jacques-Poirier 2009, and many literary translations. Ringuet also created the Facebook page Montréal yiddish en français to circulate research about Yiddish Montreal in her maternal language and to promote cultural interactions in Quebec and North America. She is also the co-editor of a collective work about Leonard Cohen that will be published in April by the Presses de l'Université du Québec.
During her residence at HBI, Ringuet is working on a new project entitled, « On the Other Side of Poetry: Rachel Korn and Kadia Molodowsky, two Yiddish Women Writers in North America. » The first step of this research was undertaken in the Molodowsky-Korn Archives in New York where Ringuet is YIVO Fellow in 2015-16. A second step will lead to the publication of a monograph, a comparative study that will shed light on the two author's works while allowing a better comprehension of the connections between Montreal and New York as two major centers of Yiddish culture. At the same time, Ringuet is writing a literary essay about Israel, for which she received a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts in 2015.

A man who smashed his way into an Oamaru supermarket,
terrifying the night staff with a loaded air rifle because he
was desperate for alcohol, has been jailed for three years.
Terence Eric Webb, 63, a recovering alcoholic, was in
considerable pain and having major difficulties with his pain
medication when he "fell by the wayside", Judge Kevin
Phillips said at sentencing in the Dunedin District Court
Webb had a sawn-off air rifle, a hammer and a fishing knife
with him when he went to the Wansbeck St supermarket about
3.45am on January 22.
He used the hammer to smash his way in and confronted two
staff with the loaded gun, which he had cut down the previous
night while drinking at home. When a third staff member
arrived, Webb continued pointing the weapon at the three
victims to keep them together near the beer fridge while he
drank some beer. He was in an agitated and drunken state and
all three victims were "scared witless", believing they were
going to be shot, the judge said.
The staff members discussed Webb's problems with him for
about 40 minutes, trying to keep him calm. A fourth staff
member arrived and was able to alert police, who eventually
arrested the defendant after a 90 minute negotiation.
Crown counsel Richard Smith said the prison term for Webb
should start at about four years. Although it had not been a
case where the defendant was disguised, he had detained the
victims for some time and subjected them to quite a degree of
fear, given he had a firearm. And there was then a "stand
off" with the police.
Defence counsel Campbell Savage said the defendant was
"racked with remorse" and was "at a loss" to explain why he
had armed himself. Apart from the hammer which he used to get
himself into the supermarket, Webb just wanted people to stay
away. He just wanted to get in to drink some beer.
He was self-medicating and at his wits end.
"He just wanted the pain to go away," Mr Savage said.
The summary of facts said Webb cut the barrel off the air
rifle while drinking at home earlier in the night, then shot
himself twice in the head in an attempt to kill himself.
Judge Phillips said that, as a result of Webb's actions, the
three staff members no longer felt safe and were nervous and
apprehensive about going to work. The nature of the detention
was such that one victim believed he would be killed if he
tried to escape.
Webb was assessed at medium risk of re-offending and the
probation officer who wrote the pre-sentence report felt he
did not appear to appreciate the problems he had caused the
There was no argument the staff had been detained, the judge
said. Webb had taken the gun with him so nobody could stop
him doing what he was going to do. And he was pointing the
gun at the victims and waving it around while in an
intoxicated, edgy and agitated state.
The victims were intimidated by the gun and the knife and
were all "entirely vulnerable".
Webb, who earlier admitted charges of aggravated burglary,
presenting a firearm, carrying an offensive weapon (a knife)
and using a firearm to resist arrest was given concurrent
prison sentences of three years (aggravated burglary), six
months (using a firearm to resist arrest and carrying an
offensive weapon) and two months (three charges of presenting
a firearm).
Judge Phillips also gave him a warning under the "three
strikes" legislation and ordered destruction of the air
rifle, the knife and the hammer.

I think a lot of us are going through this right now and driving ourselves crazy. I've heard it is normal to taper off around 9 weeks when your body adjusts to the hormones. So try not to worry :)
Posted 07/22/2012
When the placenta takes over symptoms will subside this can happen between 8-12 weeks so your probably ok :)

I lost the brunt of my symptoms at 9 weeks and they came back last night (10 weeks exactly) I wouldn't worry too much....my doctor said it's perfectly normal for symptoms to start to subside around 9 weeks. I had the exact same worries! I begged him to use his doppler to hear the hb at my last appt. (9 weeks 4 days) but he wouldn't do it, said it was too early. He said I shouldn't worry unless I have cramping and/or spotting and/or pain of any type. Hang in there and keep thinking positive thoughts!
Posted 07/22/2012
I'm in the same boat! I'm 9w2d and my symptoms have slowly decreased over the past week, and are practically gone now. I'm still super hungry all the time though, so I am taking that as a good sign and trying not to worry. Easier said than done, though. I don't have my next OB appt for 2 weeks. Hang in there, mama!
Posted 07/22/2012
I posted this pretty much yesterday:-) my ms had pretty much gone completly away and that was at about 9 1\2 weeks. I've had no cramping or spotting so far so I think Ill choose to be grateful and hope it dosent come back! :)

The Man and the Statesman: The Correspondence and Articles on Politicsby Frederic Bastiat
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 03/31/2011
Publisher: Liberty Fund, Incorporated
Liberty Fund's new six-volume The Collected Works of Frédéric Bastiat series, of which The Man and the Statesman is the first volume, may be considered the most complete edition of Bastiat's works published to date, in any country, and in any language. The main source for this translation is the seven-volume Oeuvres complètes/b>/i>
Liberty Fund's new six-volume The Collected Works of Frédéric Bastiat series, of which The Man and the Statesman is the first volume, may be considered the most complete edition of Bastiat's works published to date, in any country, and in any language. The main source for this translation is the seven-volume Oeuvres complètes de Frédéric Bastiat, published in the 1850s and 1860s.
The present volume, most of which has never before been translated into English, includes Bastiat's complete correspondence: 207 letters Bastiat wrote between 1819, when he was only 18 years old, until just a few days before his untimely death in 1850 at the age of 49. For contemporary classical liberals, Bastiat's correspondence will provide a unique window into a long-forgotten world where opposition to war and colonialism went hand-in-hand with support for free trade and deregulation. Bastiat's numerous letters to Richard Cobden, a Member of Parliament and best known today as the leader of the British Anti-Corn Law League, chronicle the profound effect the Anti-Corn League had on Bastiat. The League's success in mobilizing a popular movement in England to pressure the British government into abolishing the very protectionist "corn laws," in 1846, inspired Bastiat to emulate the League's success in France by starting his own free-trade movement.
The Man and the Statesman also includes articles and other writings on politics and current events that showcase Bastiat's talent as a theoretician, a pamphleteer, a journalist, and a deputy (Member of Parliament) of the nascent French Second Republic. Together with the correspondence, the writings in this volume fill an important gap in our understanding of the lesser-known Bastiat, who, in just a few short years, made a profound impact on French intellectual and political life in Paris.
Forthcoming titles in The Collected Works of Frédéric Bastiat series include:
"The Law," "The State," and Other Political Writings, 1843-1850
Economic Sophisms and "What is Seen and What is Not Seen"
Miscellaneous Works on Economics: From "Jacques-Bonhomme" to Le Journal des Économistes
Economic Harmonies
The Struggle Against Protectionism: The English and French Free-Trade Movements
Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) was born in the French port city of Bayonne and became one of the leading advocates of free markets and free trade in the mid-nineteenth century. A theorist of classical liberal political economy and an elected member of various French political bodies, he opposed both protectionism and the rise of socialist ideas.
Jacques de Guenin is president of the Cercle Frédéric Bastiat. He is a graduate of the École des Mines in Paris and holds a Master of Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley.
Jean-Claude Paul-Dejean is a historian from the University of Bordeaux and a Bastiat scholar.
Dennis O'Keeffe is Professor of Social Science at the University of Buckingham, Buckingham, England, and is Senior Research Fellow in Education at the Institute of Economic Affairs, London.

In this paper, we present the Intelligent Hybrid MAC (IH-MAC), a novel low power with quality of service guaranteed medium access control protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The IH-MAC achieves high energy efficiency under wide range of traffic load. It ensures shorter latency to critical and delay-sensitive packets. The IH-MAC protocol achieves high channel utilization during high traffic load without compromising energy efficiency. The IH-MAC does it by using the strength of CSMA and TDMA approach with intelligence. The novel idea behind the IH-MAC is that it uses both the broadcast scheduling and link scheduling. Depending on the network loads, the IH-MAC protocol dynamically switches from broadcast scheduling to link scheduling and vice versa in order to achieve better efficiency. The scheduling is done in the IH-MAC with a novel decentralized approach where the nodes locally use the clock arithmetic to find the time slot, allocated for it. Furthermore, the IH-MAC uses Request-To-Send, Clear-To-send handshakes with methods for adapting the transmit power to the minimum level necessary to reach the intended neighbor. Thus, the IH-MAC reduces energy consumption by suitably varying the transmit power. The IH-MAC also uses the concept of parallel transmission that further reduces delay. The analytical and simulation results corroborate the theoretical idea, and show the efficiency of our proposed protocol.

A retired circus chimpanzee is the Cezanne of simians, drawing crowds to a Brazilian zoo to watch him paint.
The 26-year-old chimp called Jimmy has been producing surprisingly lovely paintings each day for three weeks at the Niteroi Zoo.
Trainer Roched Seba said Monday Jimmy doesn't like the toys and other diversions that other chimps enjoy. So three weeks ago, Seba introduced him to painting after reading about animals in zoos elsewhere that enjoyed a little canvas time.
Pictures: Painting Animals
Temperamental as great artists can be, Jimmy at times declines to paint if his cage is surrounded by too many gawkers.
But for at least 30 minutes a day, he carefully dips his brush into plastic paint containers and uses broad, bold strokes to create his art.
An exhibition for Jimmy the chimp is already in the works.

Cathay Pacific May Review Air China Cargo Fleet After Losses
Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. may review the fleet at a cargo venture with Air China Ltd. after losses at the operations contributed to the Hong Kong carrier's first unprofitable half since 2008.
Air China Cargo will have to assess which will be the right aircraft to make it profitable in the long term, Cathay Pacific Chief Executive Officer John Slosar said today. The venture is taking four Boeing Co. 747-400 freighters from Cathay, which the Hong Kong-based airline is replacing with newer models.
"Old, fuel-inefficient airplanes is a tough business model," Slosar said in an interview in the city today. "We'll have to look at that to see what is the right way forward in terms of the fleet."
Cathay suffered a HK$300 million loss from its Air China Cargo stake in the first half as it slumped to a surprise HK$935 million net loss. The airline's own business was also hit by a slump in global freight shipments, rising fuel prices and slowing demand for premium travel.
The carrier agreed to buy a 49 percent stake in Air China's cargo unit in 2010. It's using the four 747-400 freighters, which were converted from passenger planes, to help pay for the investment. The new joint company began flights in March 2011.
Cathay rose 3.9 percent to HK$12.84 at the 4 p.m. close of trading in Hong Kong. Air China gained 0.6 percent. The two carriers, which own stakes in each other, both fell 4.3 percent yesterday.
Cathay has deployed 10 staff to Air China Cargo to help develop networks, Slosar said. The carrier will stick with the venture and does expect it to eventually make a profit, he said.
"It will take some time," he said. "But, I think it's something we will be able to achieve."
The airline is also seeing "early indications" of a possible pickup in cargo demand in the second half, Slosar said. The fourth quarter is traditionally the busiest for air freight because of the holidays.
