text: In 2001, Jock traveled to Mali to fix a small village's water treatment system. While there he came across a woman who informed him that it would be of great service to her village if he could find an affordable peanut sheller for them. Upon returning to the United States he contacted peanut authority Dr. Tim Williams of the University of Georgia who told Brandis of a Bulgarian Peanut Shelling design. Jock adapted the design with help from a friend Wes Perry. Jock went through several iterations of a redesign and one year later he completed the machine that is now called the Universal Nut Sheller. In 2003 Brandis teamed up with a group of returned Peace Corps volunteers from Wilmington, NC to form the Full Belly Project.

Forecast concerns over the next several days will be the Excessive Heat and humidity, heat headlines, monsoonal moisture and chances for thunderstorms. Will maintain Excessive Heat Warning today through Friday and future shifts can decide if the headline is extended. Our current forecasts has highest heat index values from 102 to 112 through Friday and 98 to 106 on Saturday. High temperatures will range from 91 to 101 each day through Saturday. Surface dewpoints should mostly range from the lower 70s to spots in the upper 70s and even some of our high spots could have 80 with soil/crops in full evapotranspiration mode. Sometimes people wonder while all the fuss. It has been a hot summer so far...in the top 12 for overall temperature for Omaha for heat. Heat waves can be deadly, however heat related deaths are preventable. It helps to stay hydrated...and limit strenuous outdoor activities and you can plan ahead. Similar to Monday and Tuesday...there is always a degree of uncertainty with convective activity...outflows and cloudiness can always affect the high temperatures. Typically when a large area of high pressure is over the area, the heat will shut down the local thunderstorm activity. The area of the h5 high is centered over Kansas and Oklahoma and water vapor satellite imagery continues to show a fetch of mid level monsoonal moisture into the Plains. This moisture plume does not push south of the forecast area until Sunday...thus the prolonged period of heat and humidity will also bring some areas thunderstorm chances. Thunderstorms developed overnight and the HRRR/RAP/NAM show these should last into this morning and possibly early this afternoon for parts of northeast Nebraska. Increasing south winds and very warm temperatures are still on track for today for the rest of the area. Isolated thunderstorms may develop Thursday in northeast Nebraska with scattered thunderstorms spreading eastward from western Nebraska Thursday ahead of a boundary that moves into northeast Nebraska. Thunderstorm chances linger into Friday and this could hold temperatures down. Forecast soundings show a lot of elevated instability some strong to severe storms are possible. Thursday night and Friday have inverted v shapes supportive of wind damage. The ridge builds back with the front lifting north Friday afternoon. Thunderstorm chances increase Friday night with the 40kt jet across Kansas nosing into the forecast area. Still hot for Saturday ahead of the approaching cold front. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Tuesday) Issued at 350 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 A stronger shortwave in the Northern Plains pushes southward Saturday night with scattered thunderstorms and eventually is enough to scour out the deep moisture. This is shortlived as the moisture returns for Monday and Tuesday and a boundary will be in the area. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 610 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Generally look for VFR conditions through the period. There will be some TSRA...but mainly north of KOFK this morning. Chances at KOMA and KLNK look very low. All three sites could see some restriction to vsby around sunrise today and again on Thursday.

Sometimes, my PC (win7, 64 bit version.) will freeze for 5-10 seconds.
- Sometimes the mouse cursor still moves, but my actions do not do anything. Sometimes the mouse cursor is frozen too.
- It usually happens a few minutes after boot, but well after all the start-up tasks have "died down".
- One of the most sure-fire ways to induce it is to browse to a stackexchange site that uses the LaTeX plugin. Math Stackexchange will do this almost every time, but only the first time I visit it.
Based on cursory research my first suspect is the HDD so I:
- Updated the drivers of the motherboard and the bios to the latest version.
- Read out the SMART data of my disk. It shows the disk to be healthy with 0 recorded retries.
The problem still persists, and it is quite annoying.
Can anyone offer any specific insights, or point me toward a general troubleshooting strategy?

HBO sets 'Game of Thrones' premiere date, plus 'Veep,' 'Girls' and 'Game Change'
HBO is about to kick off a three-hour bloc of press tour panels, mostly for new shows like the Milch/Mann horseracing drama "Luck," Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Armando Iannucci's "Veep," Lena Dunham's "Girls" and Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's "Life's Too Short." And now we know the premiere dates for all of those shows, plus when "Game of Thrones" season 2 will begin.
In press releases given out to the media ahead of the panels, HBO announced that "Game of Thrones" season 2 (which will again be 10 episodes) would debut Sunday, April 1 at 9 p.m. "Girls," a comedy about 20something women in Brooklyn which Dunham ("Tiny Furniture") wrote, directed and starred in (and produced along with Judd Apatow), kicks off its 10-episode first season Sunday, April 15 at 10:30 p.m. "Veep," in which Louis-Dreyfus plays the Vice-President of the United States, begins its eight-episode first season Sunday, April 22 at 10 p.m.
"Luck" had previously been announced as debuting on Sunday, January 29 at 9 p.m. for a nine-episode season(*), and "Life's Too Short" will debut its seven-episode season on Sunday, February 19 at 10:30 p.m., following the third season premiere of "Eastbound & Down."
(*) Yes, it seems HBO has a lot of irregular episode orders this year, but in some cases they're working with foreign talent, and in others they may be dealing with either budget or scheduling issues. (Dustin Hoffman may not have had a bigger window for "Luck" season one, for instance.)
HBO also announced that "Game Change," a TV-movie about the 2008 presidential election(**) starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin and Ed Harris as John McCain, will air Saturday, March 10 at 9 p.m.
(**) Reminder, as always, about the No Politics rule for this blog, which was created as a result of that 2008 election.

I. Monsieur Myriel
In 1815, Monsieur Charles-François-Bienvenu Myriel was bishop of Digne.1 He was an elderly man of about seventy-five and he had occupied the seat of Digne since 1806.
There is something we might mention that has no bearing whatsoever on the tale we have to tell—not even on the background. Yet it may well serve some purpose, if only in the interests of precision, to jot down here the rumors and gossip that had circulated about him the moment he first popped up in the diocese. True or false, what is said about people often has as much bearing on their lives and especially on their destinies as what they do. Monsieur Myriel was the son of a councillor of the Aix parliament, a member of the noblesse de robe.2 They reckoned his father had put him down to inherit his position and so had married him off very early in the piece when he was only eighteen or twenty, as they used to do quite a lot in parliamentary families. Charles Myriel, married or no, had, they said, set tongues wagging. He was a good-looking young man, if on the short side, elegant, charming, and witty; he had given the best years of his life thus far to worldly pursuits and love affairs. Then the Revolution came along, events spiraled, parliamentary families were wiped out, chased away, hunted, scattered. Monsieur Charles Myriel emigrated to Italy soon after the Revolution broke out. His wife died there of the chest infection she'd had for ages. They had no children. What happened next in the destiny of Monsieur Myriel? The collapse of the old society in France, the fall of his own family, the tragic scenes of '93,3 which were, perhaps, even more frightening for émigrés4 watching them from afar with the magnifying power of dread—did these things cause notions of renunciation and solitude to germinate in his mind? Was he, in the middle of the distractions and amorous diversions that filled his life, suddenly hit by one of those mysterious and terrible jolts that sometimes come and strike at the heart, bowling over the man public calamities couldn't shake, threatening as these did only his existence and his fortune? No one could say; all that was known was that, when he came back from Italy, he was a priest.
In 1804,5 Monsieur Myriel was the curé of Brignolles.6 He was already old and lived like a real recluse in profound seclusion.
Around the time of the coronation, a small parish matter—who can remember what now?—took him to Paris. Among other powerful persons, he called on Cardinal Fesch,7 Napoléon's uncle, to petition him on his parishioners' behalf. One day when the emperor was visiting his uncle, the worthy curé, who was waiting in the anteroom, found himself in His Majesty's path. Napoléon, seeing the old boy give him the once-over with a certain curiosity, wheeled round and said brusquely: "Who is this little man staring at me?"
"Your Majesty," said Monsieur Myriel, "you see a little man, and I see a great man. Both of us may benefit."
That very night, the emperor asked the cardinal what the curé's name was and some time after that Monsieur Myriel was stunned to learn that he'd been named bishop of Digne.
But, when all's said and done, what was true in the tales told about the first phase of Monsieur Myriel's life? No one could tell. Few families had known the Myriel family before the Revolution.
Monsieur Myriel had to endure the fate of every newcomer in a small town, where there are always plenty of mouths blathering and not many brains working. He had to endure it even though he was the bishop, and because he was the bishop. But, after all, the talk in which his name cropped up was perhaps nothing more than talk; hot air, babble, words, less than words, pap, as the colorful language of the Midi8 puts it.
Whatever the case, after nine years as the resident bishop of Digne, all the usual gossip that initially consumes small towns and small people had died and sunk without a trace. No one would have dared bring it up, no one would have dared remember what it was.
Monsieur Myriel arrived in Digne accompanied by an old spinster, Mademoiselle Baptistine, who was his sister and ten years his junior.
They had only one servant, a woman the same age as Mademoiselle Baptistine, called Madame Magloire. Having been the servant of Monsieur le curé, she now went by the double title of personal maid to Mademoiselle and housekeeper to Monseigneur.9
Mademoiselle Baptistine was a tall, pale, thin, sweet person, the personification of that ideal expressed by the word respectable; for it seems a woman must be a mother to be esteemed. She had never been pretty, but her entire life, which had been merely a succession of holy works, had ended up laying a sort of whiteness and brightness over her; as she aged, she had gained what you could describe as the beauty of goodness. What had been skinniness in her youth had become transparency with maturity; and this diaphanous quality revealed the angel within. She was more of a spirit than a virgin. She seemed a mere shadow with scarcely enough of a body to have a gender; just a bit of matter bearing a light, with great big eyes always lowered to the ground, an excuse for a spirit to remain on earth.
Madame Magloire was a little old lady, white skinned, plump, round, busy, always wheezing, first because of always bustling about and second because of her asthma.
When he first arrived, Monsieur Myriel was set up in his episcopal palace with all the honors required by imperial decree, which ranked bishops immediately after field marshals.10 The mayor and the president of the local council were the first to visit him, and on his side, he made his first visits to the general and the chief of police.
Once he had moved in, the town waited to see their bishop on the job.
II. Monsieur Myriel Becomes Monseigneur Bienvenu
The episcopal palace of Digne was next door to the hospital. The episcopal palace was a vast and handsome town house built in stone at the beginning of the previous century by Monseigneur Henri Puget, doctor of theology of the faculty of Paris and abbé of Simore,1 who had been bishop of Digne in 1712. The palace was truly a mansion fit for a lord. Everything about it was on the grand scale, the bishop's apartments, the drawing rooms, the bedrooms, the main courtyard, which was huge, with covered arcades in the old Florentine style, and the gardens planted with magnificent trees. It was in the dining room, which was a long and superb gallery on the ground floor opening onto the grounds, that Monseigneur Henri Puget had, on July 29, 1714, ceremoniously fed the ecclesiastical dignitaries, Charles Brûlart de Genlis, archbishop prince of Embrun, Antoine de Mesgrigny, Capuchin bishop of Grasse, Philippe de Vendôme, grand prior of France, abbé of Saint-Honoré de Lérins, François de Berton de Crillon, bishop baron of Vence, César de Sabran de Forcalquier, lord bishop and lord of Glandève, and Jean Soanen, priest of the oratory, preacher in ordinary to the king, lord bishop of Senez.2 The portraits of these seven reverend fathers embellished the dining room and the memorable date of July 29, 1714, was engraved there in gold lettering on a white marble panel.
The hospital was a low, narrow, single-story house with a small garden.
Three days after his arrival, the bishop visited the hospital. When his visit was over, he politely begged the director to accompany him back to his place.
"Monsieur le directeur, how many sick people do you have in your hospital at the moment?"
"Twenty-six, Monseigneur."
"That's what I counted," said the bishop.
"The beds are all jammed together," the director went on.
"That's what I noticed."
"The living areas are just bedrooms, and they're difficult to air."
"That's what I thought."
"Then again, when there's a ray of sun, the garden's too small for the convalescents."
"That's what I said to myself."
"As for epidemics, we've had typhus this year, and two years ago we had miliary fever—up to a hundred were down with it at any one time. We don't know what to do."
"The thought did strike me."
"What can we do, Monseigneur?" said the director. "You have to resign yourself to it."
This conversation took place in the dining-room gallery on the ground floor. The bishop fell silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to the hospital director.
"Monsieur," he said, "how many beds do you think you could get in this room alone?"
"Monseigneur's dining room?" cried the astonished director.
The bishop sized up the room, giving the impression he was taking measurements and making calculations by eye alone.
"It could easily hold twenty beds!" he mumbled, as though talking to himself. Then he spoke more loudly. "Look, my dear director, I'll tell you what. There has obviously been a mistake. There are twenty-six of you in five or six small rooms. There are three of us here and we've got enough room for sixty. There's been a mistake, I'm telling you. You've got my place and I've got yours. Give me back my house. This is your rightful home, here."
The next day, the twenty-six poor were moved into the bishop's palace and the bishop was at the hospital.
Monsieur Myriel had no property, his family having lost everything in the Revolution. His sister got an annuity of five hundred francs, which was enough for her personal expenses, living at the presbytery. Monsieur Myriel received a salary of fifteen thousand francs from the government as bishop. The very day he moved into the hospital, Monsieur Myriel decided once and for all to put this sum to use as follows. We transcribe here the note written in his hand.
household expenditure
For the small seminary 1500 livres
Mission congregation 100 livres
For the Lazarists of Montdidier 100 livres
Seminary of foreign missions in Paris 200 livres
Congregation of the Saint-Esprit 150 livres
Religious institutions in the Holy Land 100 livres
Societies of maternal charity 300 livres
For the one at Arles 50 livres
For the betterment of prisons 400 livres
For the relief and release of prisoners 500 livres
For the release of fathers of families imprisoned for debt 1000 livres
Salary supplement for poor schoolteachers in the diocese 2000 livres
Upper Alps public granary 100 livres
Ladies' Association of Digne, Manosque, and Sisteron,3 for the free education of poor girls 1500 livres
For the poor 6000 livres
My personal expenses 1000 livres
total 15000 livres
The whole time Monsieur Myriel held the see of Digne, he made almost no change in this arrangement—what he called, as we shall see, "taking care of his household expenses."
Mademoiselle Baptistine accepted the arrangement with absolute submission. For this devout spinster, Myriel was both her brother and her bishop, the friend she grew up with and her superior according to ecclesiastical authority. Quite simply, she loved him and revered him. When he spoke, she listened, and when he took action, she was right behind him. Only the servant, Madame Magloire, grumbled a bit. As you will have noticed, the bishop kept only a thousand livres for himself which, added to Mademoiselle Baptistine's pension, meant fifteen hundred francs a year. The two old women and the old man all lived on those fifteen hundred francs.
And when some village curé came to Digne, the bishop still managed to find a way of entertaining him, thanks to the assiduous scrimping and saving of Madame Magloire and Mademoiselle Baptistine's clever management.
One day, when the bishop had been in Digne for about three months, he said, "With all that, things are pretty tight!"
"They certainly are!" cried Madame Magloire. "Monseigneur hasn't even claimed the money the département owes him for the upkeep of his carriage in town and his rounds in the diocese. In the old days, that was standard for bishops."
"You're right, Madame Magloire!" the bishop agreed. And he put in his claim.
A short while later, after considering this application, the department council voted him an annual stipend of three thousand francs, under the heading, Bishop's Allowance for Carriage Upkeep, Postal Costs, and Travel Expenses Incurred in Pastoral Rounds.
The local bourgeoisie was up in arms over this and an imperial senator,4 who had been a member of the Council of Five Hundred5 promoting the Eighteenth Brumaire and was now provided with a magnificent senatorial seat near Digne township, wrote a cranky little private letter to the minister of public worship, Monsieur Bigot de Préameneu.6 We produce here a genuine extract of a few lines:
"Carriage upkeep? Whatever for, in a town with less than four thousand people? Travel expenses incurred in pastoral rounds? To start with, what's the good of them anyway? And then, how the hell does he do the rounds by post chaise in such mountainous terrain? There are no roads. One has to proceed on horseback. Even the bridge over the Durance at Château-Arnoux7 can barely take a bullock-drawn cart. All these priests are the same. Greedy and tight. This one played the good apostle when he first turned up. Now he acts like all the rest. He must have a carriage and a post chaise. He must have luxury, the same as the old bishops. Oh, these bloody clergy! Monsieur le comte, things will only come good when the emperor has delivered us from these pious swine. Down with the pope! [Things were not good with Rome at that point.]8 As for me, I'm for Caesar alone." And so on and so forth.
Madame Magloire, on the other hand, was delighted.
"Hooray!" she said to Mademoiselle Baptistine. "Monseigneur put the others first but he's wound up having to think of himself, finally. He's fixed up all his charities. Here's three thousand livres for us. At last!"
The same night, the bishop wrote a note, which he handed to his sister. It went like this:
carriage upkeep and travel expenses
Beef broth for the sick in the hospital 1500 livres
For the society of maternal charity of Aix 250 livres
For the society of maternal charity of Draguignan 250 livres
For abandoned children 500 livres
For orphans 500 livres
total 3000 livres
And that was Monsieur Myriel's budget.
As for the cost of episcopal services, redemptions, dispensations, baptisms, sermons, consecrations of churches and chapels, marriages and so on, the bishop took from the rich all the more greedily for giving it all to the poor.
It wasn't long before offerings of money poured in. The haves and the have-nots all knocked on Monsieur Myriel's door, some coming in search of the alms that the others had just left. In less than a year, the bishop became treasurer of all works of charity and cashier to all those in distress. Large sums passed through his hands, but nothing could make him change his style of life in the slightest or get him to embellish his spartan existence by the faintest touch of the superfluous.
Far from it. As there is always more misery at the bottom of the ladder than there is fraternity at the top, everything was given away, so to speak, before it was received, like water on thirsty soil. A lot of good it did him to be given money, he never had any. And so, he robbed himself.
The custom being for bishops to put their full baptismal names at the head of their mandates and pastoral letters, the poor people of the area had chosen, out of a sort of affectionate instinct, the one among all the bishop's various names that made the most sense to them, and so they called him Monseigneur Bienvenu—Welcome. We'll do likewise whenever the occasion arises. Besides, the nickname tickled him.
"I like that name," he said. "Bienvenu pulls Monseigneur into line."
We are not saying that the portrait of the man we offer here is accurate; we will restrict ourselves to the claim that it is a passing likeness.

Hugo was elected to the Académie Française in 1841. As a statesman, he was named a Peer of France in 1845. He served in France's National Assemblies in the Second Republic formed after the 1848 revolution, and in 1851 went into self-imposed exile upon the ascendance of Napoleon III, who restored France's government to authoritarian rule. Hugo returned to France in 1870 after the proclamation of the Third Republic.

As if anyone needed an excuse to read Les Miserables--one of the most fantastic pieces of literature of all time--we now have a wonderfully rendered translation by Julie Rose. Coupled with a wildly intelligent introduction by Adam Gopnik, this is the most complete and informative edition of Hugo's masterpiece to date. With ludicrously complete endnotes, one can read the novel and achieve near total comprehension of the era about which Hugo was writing. We understand through this winning translation and notes why Napoleon was good and evil, why he was such a polarizing figure, why the French Revolution was so important to European and world history. Understanding the world from which Hugo's charaters come helps us relate and identify with them even more. We understand why Enjolras is a zealot, why Javert is dedicated beyond reason to the law, why Fantine felt she had run out of options, to name a very few. Les Miserables, at its core, is a meditation on the human spirit in its idealized form: what Man can achieve through good deeds, dedication, and love of his fellow men. Read and be inspired.
The translation of Victor Hugo's Les Misrables by Norman Denny is as close as you can get to an unabridged version. This is not a volume to be read quickly, so if you are on a deadline let this one lie & get one of the shorter translations; but you will be missing the full experience! Hugo's style was to go on in excrutiating detail about the people, places, & institutions in his stories. It is one of the things that make his works timeless; you come away with not just so much entertainment, but an understanding of the place & time that the characters inhabited, & what they thought & felt & why. Norman Denny captures that full experience in his translation, with minimal editorializing or abridging. He includes two appendices that were complete chapters in Hugo's original text, but depart fully from the story line to give background & explanation. You will be tempted at times to skip several pages or whole chapters. Don't! Instead, take a break (stretch, get a cup of coffee, a nap, some conversation, some excercise, or do some work) and come back to it fresh later so you can savor every nuance. It will be worth it when you come to the last chapters & can read not only what happens to the characters, but feel what they feel.
In this epic tale, Hugo has an endless array of characters that are willing to do whatever they have to including sacrificing themselves, to ensure that those they love are happy. The amazing characters are made even more realistic in that Hugo shows that each one of them is human, each one has their own faults, this only makes the novel more inspiring, as it illustrates to us that everyday people, just like us, have the strength to self sacrifice for the greater good. It is a beautiful novel that inspires us to live not for ourselves, but for others.
THis is by far my favorite book! It was outstanding.I read the entire book when I was 14 and still is my favorite.I love all of the detailing Victor Hugo does.He is a Great writer and the book is full of adventure ,I just couldn't put the book down!My favorite character has to be Eponine.I definatly recommend this book!!!
Les Miserables Les Miserables is one of the best books I¿ve ever read. It contrasts the hard life of Jean Valjean, a convict, to the sheltered and almost star struck life of Cossette, whom Jean Valjean fosters after her mother, Fantine, dies. When placed against the striking background of a Paris in political turmoil, this story strikes a chord in every person who reads it. I give it an A+, 10 out of 10, 5 stars, whatever I can to express how good this book is.
undoubtedly, this novel is an eye-opener! with the revealing plot and the symbolic figures used, Hugo artistically presented a story of a convict with a touch of the political dilemma of the people during his time. the characters of fantine, cosette and javert add up to the effectiveness of the novel and their stories are somehow affecting the the outcome. Valjean's character is outrageously different , his transformation from a convict into an important man of society makes his character interesting despite the struggles he encountered especially with Javert who appeared as a classical villain although his objectives are just a part of his job. the love story of marius and cosette , on the other hand made a little part boring because the flow of story became slow but still it adds flavor to the completeness of the novel!!! truly les miserables is recommendable and 5 stars are enough to fully recognized the essential points that this eye-opener is trying to implant into our minds.
This is a marvelous, detailed, and exciting read. This is quite possibly my favorite book- there aren't any words to describe it more than that... This text must have inspired thousands of books to be written, and is still, in my opinion, one of the best books in history.
This book wraps you up in a whirlpool of remarkable characters and inspiring events. Way cool. Try this novel if your looking for something that will leave you pining for it ages after it. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ending! Something you could read again and again! (Also because it's so long by the time it's done you forgot how it started.)
Les Miserables was amazing. Hugo's motivational inspiration on the actions and events in his actual life time are just amazing, and reflect on his writing, and how he portrays his story, and characters. Not only is the storyline intriguing, and adventurous, but his personal view on life in general, is so true. This is what highschool literature should be based on. Not these idiot teen novels we're forced to be reading. Thankyou Victor. I enjoyed your book very much.
Escape - to avoid capture, danger, or harm. This simple word is the center of life for Jean Valjean, a master of escape in Victor Hugo's novel, 'Les Miserables'. Les Miserables is not only a captivating novel which cultivates and evokes deep thoughts, but it also retained this reader¿s interest. Les Miserables has an excellent mixture of grief, action, suspense, and eventual happiness to please any avid reader. It allows insight into the human soul and gives hope for the future through Valjean¿s actions. The mood in Les Miserables is a constantly changing one. Tension consumed me as the mood changed and made me feel the imminent doom, reconciliation, and hopelessness released by the characters. A sense of mystery and foreboding is emulated through the dark settings. Most of the action occurs in a dark, dreary place, or at night, so as to give off a feeling of bad happenings. One of the biggest reasons for my love of Les Miserables has to be the story line itself. An ex-convict transforms himself from a bitter, angry person to one who sacrifices himself to better others. Stories like this give me faith in the human race and humanity. The characters are what give Les Miserables its power to fascinate readers. Each character plays a specific part in creating the novel. Fantine, a lonely, hopeless prostitute, represents misfortune. Jean Valjean is the savior for all characters. He is the one who nurses Fantine in her time of need, raises the orphaned Cosette, and saves Marius in his time of peril. Cosette is light of Valjean¿s life. Witnessing Cosette make Valjean happy lightens the mood and give Les Miserables appeal to the emotions. Javert, the police investigator, is the stimulant for most of the action and chasing in the novel. Each character contributes his or her personality to the work as a whole. I would recommend this riveting book to people who enjoy action novels with plenty of conflict and pleasing endings. Extreme detail makes Les Miserables memorable. I remembered the smallest detail because of the wonderful descriptions portrayed by Hugo. Relying heavily on justice and morality, Les Miserables kept me in suspense waiting to discover what misfortune would fall upon the next character. I recommend this book to all ardent readers.
I believe Les Miserables deserves four stars. It encompasses the primary historical trends of the nineteenth century. Victor Hugo, the author of Les Miserables, utilizes some of his personal experiences to create the exciting adventures of Jean Valjean, the protagonist of the novel, provides insight on poignant issues such as universal suffrage, prison reform, free education, and social equality. I recommend reading this novel. Les Miserables not only broadens the mind toward social issues, but the techniques used to form the novel enhanced the theme. The context of this novel was enjoyable because Hugo appropriately used different techniques to intensify the effect of the novel, one of which is symbolism. Three of the main characters symbolize different dilemmas present during the French Revolution, the period in which Les Miserables was written. Jean Valjean symbolizes the degradation of man in the proletariat; once a man has committed a crime, he will always be a convict. Cosette symbolizes atrophy of the child by darkness; women who birth children out of wedlock are belittled. Fantine symbolizes the subjection of women through hunger; women would suffice anything to survive in society. Through Jean Valjean, Hugo implemented satire to provide Les Miserables with moral redemption. In Valjean¿s attempt to redeem his past, he progresses from convict to saint. This ironical situation salvages one¿s view of mankind, that salvation can be acquired and produce a tremendous impact. The satire and moral redemption, in this novel, added immensely to the effect of the theme. It provides a sense of comfort; people make mistakes, but through those mistakes knowledge is gained for them to succeed. Another interesting technique Hugo used consists of a microcosm. He created a world within a world. Valjean possessed his own world that revolved around him and Cosette. Through this microcosm the reader gains a feeling of attachment to Cosette and Valjean. When something happens to either of them it seems as though it has befallen upon a close friend of the reader. Although this novel contains unsurpassable context, it also contains a few minor flaws. The story line for Les Miserables seems to drag out, which makes the book difficult to read. It seems as though the novel may continue forever. If the novel had not tarried along, it may have been easier to comprehend. Unfortunately, I became bored with the novel at times and had to cease reading for a while. Hugo¿s eccentric use of symbolism, satire, a microcosm, and moral redemption, provide a source of exquisite reading material. Hugo used many other techniques to spawn Les Miserables, such as flashbacks, similes and metaphors, irony, monologue, and self-communion. Each technique adds to the exquisiteness of the final product. This novel is distinguished worldwide for its portrayal of France during the French Revolution. Ultimately, Les Miserables subsists of extraordinary context. I highly recommend reading it.
I find 'Les Miserables' to be one of the most incredible novels ever written! 'Les Miserables' is a wonderful novel about redemption and the analysis of one's own heart. The primary focus shadows upon the life of protagonist, Jean Valjean. Valjean, after many years of imprisonment, sets forth on a journey to give himself a new name and place in society. All of his random acts of kindness are a result of the hospitality of a town priest. The seeds of compassion that were sprinkled on Valjean grow into an array of meaningful lessons that the 'real world' will later find enduring. I believe that 'Les Miserables' is an astounding novel. In fact, I had the entire book read in less than one week. I never wanted to put it down. The plotlines are all about common and perceivable issues, but they are displayed in such an intensely rich, dramatic manner that is extremely mind-captivating. Nineteenth Century France is a very culturally and socially rich place to begin with, but the way Victor Hugo writes makes the entire novel sound that much more impeccable. The creative imagery (to some extent) invokes the reader to feel as if they are a part of the novel. I even found myself yelling at the book at the very exciting parts. Yes folks,I was that drawn into the novel! 'Les Miserables' centers around many themes which I feel that the society of today and the society of tomorrow should start examining very closely. To begin, one common theme is: 'Nothing is more worthy to own that compassion, ' which is also a quote from Bette Midler. This theme is consistantly examplified all throughout the novel. Seemingly, compassion is the key element motivating everything in 'Les Miserables.' If not for compassion, the fate of the characters would seem even more detrimental and depressing that what they already appear. Also, much usage of sensory details enhances the tone of the setting. A Parisian cathedral is no longer looked at as another common church, but as an emmaculate building of devoted worship. 'Les Miserables' is also told from many different points of view, adding more complexity and intenseness to this piece of literary art. The novel is divided into five sections, each with its own morality play essence. Whether it be a story from the devoted Jean Valjean, or the saint-like Fantine, none are forgettable. In order to fully enjoy this novel, one would have to possess a lot of empathy, sympathy, and understanding. If the reader does not dive into the novel with these qualities, he or she will surely finish the novel with them. Personally, I was very moved by the entire work as a whole. The drama, emotion, and most of all, the teachings are heartfelt and inspiring. I strongly recommend this novel to everyone! The climactic adrenaline that the reader feels is enough to last a lifetime. However, do not let the number of pages steer you away from something so prestigious.
Les Miserables was a truly remarkable book and i loved every part of it. I simply could not put it down once i started. It was a great work of art. And i simply enjoyed it.
im a seventh grader and im reading this for an honors english class. i will admit it is kinda hard to read but in the end it is all worth while!!!!!
Beautifully written- you feel much closer to the characters in the stage version (such as how the musical doesn't explain Javert's backstory). The book truly makes you think about the workings of society. I'm not going to spoil the plot, so I'll just give a brief summary: Jean Valjean spends nineteen years in prison for theft. He spends the rest of his life searching for redemption, becoming an honest man in the process. FAVORITE CHARACTER: Javert- I relate to this character more than the others, as there have been times when I have felt unstable. Thankfully I got through it. FAVORITE SCENE: The Gorbeau Tenement, because somehow ( hacks?) Valjean trolls several Thenardier, most of Patron-Minette, and the police. OVERALL: 5/5, I highly recommend it.

Le miserables? Or what?
Christine Donougher's new translation is brilliant. That the novel is a classic, we knew. What Donougher does is make the work seem fluent to our eye and ear and as thrilling to us now as it must have been when it was published in 1862. The relevance of this story to our world cries out to us, and the simplicity of the language makes it accessible even to a schoolchild. The time it must have taken both the translator and the publisher (Penguin Classics) to complete this gorgeously-produced novel is staggering but they have allowed us to marvel at Hugo's work once again. What astonishes me is that by the time Hugo wrote Les Miserables, he was already a widely respected poet and author in France. Hugo began as a poet and was in his late thirties when he wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Twenty years later, Les Miserables was published. Part I was published first, and sold so well that subscribers lined up for the rest of the work. How could Hugo create characters as heartbreakingly complete as the young Gavroche, as recognizable as the teenaged Cosette, or as good as the Bishop of Digne? Hugo created an entire world with this huge novel, and we believe him about the bleak penury and poverty. But how did he know it? Hugo is so supremely sure of his audience that two hundred and fifty pages into the novel he takes fifty pages to lead us on a tour of the old battlefield of Waterloo, recounting for us every strategy of the generals and how their plans went awry. "Let us go back now--it is one of the narrator's privileges," he says, knowing we would follow him wherever by this time, we are so anxious to hear about the child Cosette who was left with exploitative foster parents Thénardier and is now being sought by the again-fugitive Valjean. It turns out that the Battle of Waterloo is not just discursive after all, but tells us of the first meeting of Pontmercy and Thénardier. Valjean is recaptured and sentenced to a chain-gang. The ingenious method of his escape this time is both breathtaking and heart-warming--he saves a working sailor from the deep--and we find ourselves mad for love of him. As we progress further in this magnificent novel, we begin to mull over why it is so remarkable: what qualities make it a classic? The scope and relevance of the work which we find immediate even today ("the poor will ever be with us") and…Hugo plays us. By his characterizations he captures something in us which wants to believe in goodness, in heroism, in fairness and the right for something better. He involves our every sense, our every emotion. Even the wicked are making sense of their cruel world and therefore can be seen as humorous, or forgivable. We are on the barricades, waving the red flag and singing. What a brave book. In the Production Notes of the latest Oscar-nominated version of the film starring Jackman, Crowe, Hathaway, Redmayne, Carter, and Cohen, all the actors praise the set for making them feel like they were in 19th Century Paris. When the Set Designers were asked where they got their inspiration, they said they had done a little bit of research, but most of what they constructed gave from the descriptions in the novel itself. The book is a self-contained world. We have everything we need to draw each character and know them intimately. Every bow is tied, every thread followed. I have seen at least three different film versions of Les Miserables and I have to say that Tom Hooper's version stays with me the longest and best, while at the same time recognizing that I will always think of Gerard Depardieux as Jean Valjean. Tom Hooper's ability to make song the natural mode of communication was unlike anything I'd seen before. That skill, along with the actors' skills, paired with the Claude-Michel Schönberg score and the Herbert Kretzmer lyrics, together make such a brilliant work that one really is cheated unless one hears the score sung. Hugo would be proud. The book is such a huge work that directors must choose what they will show, and Hooper changed his scenes from the stage presentations because he had more latitude. I so appreciate that he showed Éponine taking a bullet for Marius just as it is in the text. The story itself is an unwieldy thing and moving from the story of Jean Valjean to that portion that incorporates Marius is a big obstacle for directors and readers. Hooper manages it adroitly by choosing the telegenic and enormously compelling Eddie Redmayne to play Marius and Hugo manages it by making his work more interesting than anything else we could be reading. I can hardly imagine someone reading or listening to this story in the nineteenth century and what a miracle it would have seemed, with so many moments of riveting tension, chatty background, and characters real enough to paint. Hooper, the director of the most recent film version, abridged the work so well and while I questioned the appearance of Marius' uncle hovering in some scenes, I can see why he wanted to include it. In the book the uncle is a creature of huge regrets and it must have seemed impossible to leave him out entirely, though I don't think it played well in the film. By the same token, Hooper and Crowe made the death of Javert a much more emotional moment than it was for me when I read it. Crowe so inhabited the character of Javert we found ourselves actually caring for him at the same time we feared him. That is a complicated response. But I liked the way Hugo managed Javert's slipping away from the front door of Valjean's house with no words or sense of moment. That was Javert's moment of greatness, and it was so quiet and small, almost nonexistent. What a thing to write! This translation by Christine Donougher is magnificent. She makes Hugo once again seem completely relevant and current through her use of language, accentuating Hugo's great gifts. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to see the differences between the work itself and any attempts at stage play. Hugo was a great storyteller and while I wish I could have heard the clamor when the work was published that first time in 1862, I feel lucky to have experienced it in 2015.
This book is great, I love the storyline too ! It has a lot of pages if you get the paperback version. 1463 to be exaxt. Don't give up keep on reading

Advantest Falls as Applied Materials Cuts Outlook
Advantest Corp., the world's biggest maker of memory-chip testers, fell to the lowest level in a month in Tokyo trading as Applied Materials Inc.'s cut to forecasts heightened concerns about the industry's outlook.
Advantest dropped as much as 4.7 percent to 1,084 yen, the lowest since June 6, and traded at 1,100 yen as of 10:32 a.m. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average declined 0.6 percent.
Chip-related companies including Applied Materials and Tokyo Electron Ltd. have said sales may remain weak, contributing to Advantest's 12 percent drop in the past four days. Santa Clara, California-based Applied Materials, which manufactures chipmaking equipment, said yesterday net sales will fall short of a forecast of $9.1 billion to $9.5 billion for the 12 months ending Oct. 28.
Demand in Europe and China is ebbing, Applied Materials Chief Executive Officer Mike Splinter said yesterday in San Francisco. That echoed remarks from Advanced Micro Devices Inc., the second-biggest maker of processors for PCs, which earlier this week blamed those regions for an unexpected drop in second-quarter sales.
Tokyo Electron, the world's second-largest maker of semiconductor production equipment, said July 6 orders in the three months ended June 30 plunged 28 percent to 79 billion yen ($996 million) from the preceding quarter.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's largest contract manufacturer of chips, fell 1.4 percent to NT$78 as of 9:30 a.m. in Taipei. TSMC plans to spend a record $8 billion to $8.5 billion on equipment and facilities this year, it said April 26.

The practitioners and researchers whose work is reported in this book have come together as a community of practice around particular principles and methods of education and research. The interpretive approach to religious education and a given model of action research provided common organising principles for the design, implementation and interpretation of the community's diverse projects but they did not provide a rigid framework. Instead individual projects and shared reflections became testing grounds for them both. This book documents a development of thinking about the interpretive approach and action research so that the version of both presented in the later chapters will be seen to differ in some respects from the models from which the Warwick community of practice set out. It is therefore appropriate to begin this book with two chapters that explain the project's starting points, the origins and initial formulations of those models.

Bond investors are supposed to be smart. But their enthusiasm for two recent deals show they are just as prone to hubris and bad timing as anyone.
The deals? One was issued by the greatest company in the world with the largest pile of cash assembled in corporate history. The other was done by a unstable central African Republic that is the 17th poorest country on earth.
In the last week of April,
Three months later and holders of both Apple and Rwanda were nursing some hefty losses. By early August, Apple's 30-year bonds had dusted 15 per cent of their face-value while Rwanda's 10-year bonds had fallen more than 10 per cent.
The buyers seemed to have piled in at what many believe was the last gasp of a 30-year bull run in bonds.
Just three weeks on from those bond issues, US Federal Reserve chairman
For investors, the timing was awful. But for borrowers it was Jedi-like.
Apple's treasurer would be well entitled to a bonus; if the company sold the bonds a mere three months later, it would have cost $US153 million more in interest over the life of the bonds. The brains behind Rwanda's bond, which got in ahead of a savage sell-off in emerging market debt, meanwhile, should have his or her name on the new Kigali convention centre that the proceeds will build.
Until May, bond investing had been easy. Anything and everything had performed as interest rates fell and a thirst for yield forced credit spreads tighter. But now it no longer looks like a one-way bet. If this is indeed the end of the bull run for bonds, the mass of retail funds that gushed into fixed income could flow out just as quickly.
Profound changes in the plumbing of the bond markets could make further moves in the bond market disorderly and destructive for investors . have piled into the asset class. The concerns emanate from the fact that The dramatic growth in the corporate bond market, as banks shrink their balance sheets, has coincided with the rapid decline of dealer capacity, as banks shrink their balance sheets.
Recent Bank of America Merrill Lynch research showed that in 2007, the size of corporate bonds on issue was roughly equal to the positions bond dealers held on their trading books – $US300 billion. The boom in corporate bond issuance since 2007 has grown corporate bonds on issue to $US500 billion, while dealer "inventories" have shrunk to just $US45 billion. A ratio of 1 to 1 is now more than 10 to 1.
Most global bonds on issue are in retail mutual funds and increasingly popular exchange traded funds. These offer investors the opportunity to cash out in an instant, while the underlying bond market becomes less willing to do the same. So when disgruntled holders want to dump their Apple or Rwanda bonds, there may be no one out there willing to buy them.

Hi there. My name's Tim. I'm intensely curious, in both senses of the word: I have a lot of questions, and they say I'm a little on the weird side. In my various pursuits, I aim to inspire people (myself included) to wake up to every moment.
I'm a PhD student. I also write novels and run ultramarathons. Sometimes I write novels about or while running, and sometimes I do research while and about running. Sometimes I do other things, like paint and travel.
Check out some of my most recent activities below. If you'd like to get in touch, don't hesitate to do so.
I recently turned 26. Simultaneously I feel, on one hand, that time is slipping away, and on the other, that I'm still a little kid.
Location: I've lived in Philadelphia since September 2014. I mostly love it here.
Research: I study how people experience information. I started my PhD program in Fall 2014. I finished my coursework in March 2016, and in early May I passed my doctoral candidacy exam. I plan to present my dissertation proposal sometime in winter 2016–2017. I plan to graduate in summer 2018.
Running: I'm on a 100 Mile kick. It's a really challenging distance to run. I'd like to do another this summer, but right now the next 100 on my schedule is the Javelina Jundred in Arizona and October. I'm thinking about signing up for a six-day race.
Fiction: In mid-2014 I finished my sixth novel, The Eternal Parade, but so far haven't found an agent to help me pitch it to publishers. I will probably self-publish it sometime in 2016. I am currently working on a new novel under the working title The Observer.
Guitar: I've monkeyed around on the guitar since about eighth grade, but I didn't practice with gusto until I started my PhD program. (Correlation?) I've been doing video lessons on Jamorama, but may invest in in-person lessons in 2016.
Languages: I'm currently studying Japanese writing. Japanese has three different systems that work in concert; the most complex uses characters from Chinese, which is what takes the most time to learn. I've been studying this on Wanikani for about two years.
Life: Since I moved to Philadelphia for my PhD, I've been mostly neglecting my social life. Working on this is one of my focuses for 2016.

"Dawn Of The 5th Era" album released worldwide!
return with new single and video!
full "… And Death Said Live" album streaming!
EXCLUSIVE SONG PREMIERE on metalinjection.net
new album details unveiled!
"Dawn Of The Fifth Era" is the fifth output of Melodic Death Metal band MORS PRINCIPIUM EST around vocalist Ville Viljanen.
Taking a look at the career of MORS PRINCIPIUM EST so far shows that the band easily attracted attention with each album. Already in the days of their debut "Inhumanity" (2003) critics were full of praise for the Finns, who still sounded fresh and made no secret of where their roots were. Comparisons to At The Gates, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, or even the fellow-countrymen Children Of Bodom were common, but MORS PRINCIPIUM EST have never been characterized as just a mere clone of the above mentioned. Even when the follow-up albums "The Unborn" (2005) and "Liberation=Termination" (2007) were released, the names of the scene pioneers were always at hand, but rather to show that this upcoming band is on a par with them. This positive response from the press helped to build a loyal fan base and establish the band internationally.
Since 2007 the band had to deal with several line-up changes, which almost lead to their disbanding and were the reason for the long hiatus. Over the following years they tried out different musicians and combinations, clearly intending to not let things end this way. In 2011 they found Andy Gillion from United Kingdom and Andhe Chandler from New Zealand as their new guitarists (selected from over 200 applicants). With this new line-up they recorded their previous album "... and Death said live"(2012).
However, another line-up change happened: Andhe Chandler left the band and Kevin Verlay came in as their new guitarist.
Now, in 2014 the band returns extremely impressive: brute and tremendous riffs meet beautiful melodies, which were recorded, mixed and mastered at well-known Panic Room Studios in Sweden (Scar Symmetry, Solution.45, Watain).
The cover artwork for Dawn Of The Fifth Era is by Alexander von Wieding (Tankard, Karma To Burn, VOLCOM, High Roller, SPV, Napalm).

Thomas K. Fowler, Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — As video spread of an officer in riot gear blasting pepper spray into the faces of seated protesters at a northern California university, outrage came quickly — followed almost as quickly by defense from police and calls for the chancellor's resignation.
University of California Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi said in a statement Saturday she was forming a task force to investigate the police action and the video images she said were "chilling."
However, a law enforcement official who watched the clip called the use of force "fairly standard police procedure."
In the video, an officer dispassionately pepper-sprays a line of several sitting protesters who flinch and cover their faces but remain passive with their arms interlocked as onlookers shriek and scream out for the officer to stop.
As the images were circulated widely on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter on Saturday, the university's faculty association called on Katehi to resign, saying in a letter there had been a "gross failure of leadership."
At a news conference, Katehi said what the video shows is, "sad and really very inappropriate" but defended her leadership and said she had no plans to resign.
"I do not think that I have violated the policies of the institution," she said. "I have worked personally very hard to make this campus a safe campus for all."
Katehi remained in a media room for more than two hours after the news conference, eventually walking to an SUV past a group of students nearly three blocks long who, in a coordinated effort, remained completely silent. The Sacramento Bee said.
The protest was held in support of the overall Occupy Wall Street movement and in solidarity with protesters at the University of California, Berkeley who were jabbed by police with batons on Nov. 9.
Charles J. Kelly, a former Baltimore Police Department lieutenant who wrote the department's use of force guidelines, said pepper spray is a "compliance tool" that can be used on subjects who do not resist, and is preferable to simply lifting protesters.
"When you start picking up human bodies, you risk hurting them," Kelly said. "Bodies don't have handles on them."
After reviewing the video, Kelly said he observed at least two cases of "active resistance" from protesters. In one instance, a woman pulls her arm back from an officer. In the second instance, a protester curls into a ball. Each of those actions could have warranted more force, including baton strikes and pressure-point techniques.
"What I'm looking at is fairly standard police procedure," Kelly said.
Images of police actions have served to galvanize support during the Occupy Wall Street movement, from the clash between protesters and police in Oakland last month that left an Iraq War veteran with serious injuries to more recent skirmishes in New York City, San Diego, Denver and Portland, Ore.
Some of the most notorious instances went viral online, including the use of pepper spray on an 84-year-old activist in Seattle and a group of women in New York. Seattle's mayor apologized to the activist, and the New York Police Department official shown using pepper spray on the group of women lost 10 vacation days after an internal review.
In the video of the UC Davis protest, the officer, a member of the university police force, displays a bottle before spraying its contents on the seated protesters in a sweeping motion while walking back and forth. Most of the protesters have their heads down, but several were hit directly in the face.
Some members of a crowd gathered at the scene scream and cry out. The crowd then chants, "Shame on You," as the protesters on the ground are led away. The officers retreat minutes later with helmets on and batons drawn.

By Mr. David E Poe (IMCOM)October 21, 2010
FORT BLISS, Texas -- Mission Installation Contracting Command-Fort Bliss, along with the U.S. Army Office of Small Business Programs and the El Paso (Texas) Small Business Consortium, hosted Industry Day at the Centennial Banquet and Conference Center at East Fort Bliss, Oct. 14.
The all-day event brought businesses in contact with government agencies to learn about MICC-Fort Bliss' organization, fiscal 2011 and 2012 contract opportunities, and the contract process involved in supporting Bliss' current expansion.
Col. Joseph Simonelli Jr., Bliss' garrison commander, opened the information session by welcoming potential future members of Team Bliss with a firm pronouncement of how business is done on his post.
"We are transparent in our operations here on Fort Bliss," said Simonelli, "and that's why we've come out here today; number one [to promote] our transparency and two [inform the public on] the processes. Everybody here has an equal opportunity to get into Fort Bliss, but we have processes that we are going to follow."
He added that with many representatives from both on and off post on hand, Industry Day would serve to be a perfect opportunity for businesses to learn everything they needed to know about possible contracts on Bliss.
"If you leave here without the answers you need, it'll be because you didn't ask the question," said Simonelli, "so I encourage you to do that." In the spirit of information sharing, he also included that the presentations and questions-and-answers from the day would be made available online, and that the same experts in attendance would be a phone call away if future questions arose.
The agenda offered 10 forums for guests, ranging from general topics such as the "Mission and Vision of Fort Bliss," presented by the post's Mission Support Element office, to many organizational visions from areas such as Bliss Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, Direc-torate of Logistics and William Beaumont Army Medical Center.
While the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have held informational sessions for larger contractors at Fort Bliss since the first quarter of 2007, David Woj-ciechowski, team leader for MICC-Fort Bliss' public works and utilities branch, said Thurs-day's Industry Day was a success because it provided an opportunity for smaller, local companies who may not have the resources for major contracts to learn about opportunities which better fit their respective scopes.
"It allows contractors to network," said Wojciechowski. "In this case there seems to be a lot of contractors here trying to sell products. It's intended to be informative and help people with the processes. There may be some value in what they learn here, or the contacts they make could end up being the next phone call that gets them a contract."
If the opinion of Ivonne Gastelum, the director of sales for Homewood Suites by Hilton El Paso, who was attending her first forum of this kind on post, was any indication, Wojcie-chowski's feeling that Industry Day was time well spent for potential contractors was a certain reality.
"It's been very helpful and has offered informative information which will help me do better business with the government and I'll be better prepared when I present them with a bid," said Gastelum.
She said her company currently has no contracts on Bliss, but has had them in the past, and that by attending the event, she had a wealth of information to bring back to her employers.
"The company I work for owns more than 40 hotels so the [information on how to pursue] opportunities here, will pertain to other locations as well," said Gastelum. "I'm going to go back and share websites with a lot of good information, and where to find good opportunities."

Choose the nearest Central Market tosee what's happening at your store.
Select your store >
Twenty years ago, we discovered this amazing pepper in the heart of New Mexico, where hot days and cool nights give it a flavor all its own. Stuffed or sautéed, fire-roasted or fried, this versatile variety will give any dish a signature punch. Spice up south-of-the-border classics like rellenos, salsas, and ceviches, but don't be afraid of pushing your creative borders by using them in sweet dishes, too.
No one throws a Hatch chile party like Central Market. We were the first to bring these special peppers to the Texas masses. And for the past 20 years, we've perfected our festival. We work with the same farmer in the village of Hatch, New Mexico, every year to make sure our harvest produces only the biggest, most flavorful peppers. Our in-store roasters have over 120 years of combined roasting experience. And no one brings you more ways to love Hatch peppers than we do.
Get this on your grill, then in your grill. We created Natural Angus burgers that crackle and sizzle with the spicy crunch of hot Hatch chiles and the tongue-tingling tang of rich blue cheese. What you get is an irresistibly juicy, flavor-filled instant classic that stands up to your favorite burger-friendly sides, and Hatch enough to make you love it.
This new masterpiece was so worth the two-decade wait. Hatch chiles roasted to perfection and diced, then folded into a smooth blend of sour cream and cream cheese – with a dash of fresh lime juice – for a perfect balance of complementing flavors, baked in a graham cracker crust. It's the perfect after-dinner cool-down for those summertime meals.
This new favorite starts with kale and collard greens tossed with crisp cucumbers, grape tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, and roasted Hatch peppers, then topped with Cotija cheese crumbles and Hatch lime vinaigrette. The combo of sweet potatoes and Hatch chiles makes this salad a little old-school, a little down-home, and down-right delicious!
Pepper people, this one's for you. Just describing it makes our mouth water. Our Chefs stuffed poblano peppers with meatballs made with fresh ground pork, cilantro, Monterey Jack, Cheddar, and Cotija cheeses. On top, we spooned tomatillo sauce, more cheese, and our special Hatch pesto cream sauce. Grab a really big fork.
Veteran Hatch Heads will be familiar with these. Our rolls combine two of our favorite things – roasted, hot Hatch chiles and cheese. If you want your mind blown, go for mini sandwiches made from our in-house roast beef, horseradish, and mustard. Also, perfect paired with Hatch Chile Butter.
Our Dairy Buyer inspired the award-winning chefs at High Road to create Hatch ice creams you have to taste to believe. Hatch chiles are roasted, sugared, puréed, then added to ice cream filled with broken chunks of chocolate for a blend that gives you a hint of just-hot-enough heat as it melts in your mouth.
Pepper-infused condiments? Hatch, yeah! This collection of Hatch-infused condiments is made with fresh Hatch chiles roasted to smoky perfection and flavored with tangy pineapples, zesty jalapeños, and spicy mustard seeds. Trust us, your burgers, hot dogs, seafood, steaks, and chips will thank you.
New this year, and bursting with flavors Texans will love! Our Market experts stuffed a tender, roasted chicken breast with roasted Hatch tamale stuffing that blends earthy masa, mild Hatch chiles – roasted daily in our stores – and Monterey Jack and Cheddar. Spicy, tangy, and the perfect blend of Texas and Southwestern flavors!
The ultra-creamy texture of this young cheese comes from the milk of cows grazing on some of the newest, freshest, most nutrient-rich first grasses of early spring. Its delicate, melt-in-your mouth butteriness is the ultimate backdrop for the sweet flavor of Hatch chiles. Oh, the casseroles you could make!
Don't let the smooth look of Frankie V's Creamy Hatch Hot Sauce fool you. That smoothness has some heat, thanks to the roasted Hatch chiles blended with coconut milk, herbs, spices, and a splash of lime. If heat is what you want, open a bottle of High Octane's Hatch BBQ Sauce. Hatch peppers, spices you can see, and not much else go into every engine-revving bottle.
Remember: Roasted chiles freeze better than fresh.
Remove seeds and outer skin of roasted chiles or just grab them roasted from the produce department.
Pack seeded and skinned chiles in a freezer bag with all air removed. The fewer per bag, the better. Don't overcrowd!
Freeze chiles within 24 hours after packing. Lay flat in the freezer.
When you're ready to Hatch, thaw and enjoy!
First, look for a bright green color – the brighter, the better.
Check the shape, too – the ideal pepper is symmetrical.
Then pick one up. The skin should be smooth, and when you give it a little squeeze, it should be firm.
It should also feel a bit heavy for its size (probably all that flavor it's holding!).
Betty's Broiler Method:
Preheat broiler. Place chiles under the broiler for 6-8 minutes. Turn peppers to allow all sides of the skin to completely blacken and blister.
The Cheater's Range-Top Method:
Cover gas or electric burner with a layer of heavy wire mesh. Once the mesh is hot, place chiles on top, turning occasionally. Remove once skins have blackened and blistered entirely.
Comal Cowboy Method:
Heat a comal (the cast-iron griddle used to heat tortillas) or iron skillet. Place several chiles on it, and turn until they completely blacken and blister.
Uncle Randy's Method:
Place chiles on charcoal or gas grill about 5-6 inches above heat source. Turn as skin blackens. Remove once skins are completely charred and blistered – if there are green spots, the skin won't come off.
Once the chiles are blistered and black all over, place them in a plastic or paper bag for about 10 minutes
to steam. Put on a pair of rubber gloves (chile burns sting!), take the chiles out of the bag, and remove the skins by
running them under cool water and rubbing them gently. The skin should come right off.
If you're not going to use the chiles right away, freeze them – remove the stems, membranes, and seeds, put them in airtight freezer bags, and place them in the freezer.

Ferro chrome producer Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Ltd announced the commissioning of the first unit of its 2x60 MW captive power plant located at Choudwar, Odisha.
While the interim captive power generation capacity stands at 198 MW with synchronization of the first unit, it shall go up to 258 MW when the second unit is commissioned in February 2013.
Set up at a cost of more than INR 600 crores, the 120 MW CPP will primarily cater to IMFA's captive requirement of electricity for its ferro chrome production. However, in the short term there is going to be a surplus of about 50 MW which can be supplied to the grid although plans are already underway to increase smelting capacity to absorb the entire generation.
Power injected by the Company at Choudwar will help system parameters in the surrounding areas including Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. The Company is going to lay the second circuit from Choudwar to Salepur which will be a part of the OPTCL system as well as state of the art 'High Tension Low Slag' conductors between its complex and the Choudwar Grid. This will help in evacuating more than 100 MW besides providing stable power to Salepur and Kendrapada.
The boiler and pollution control equipment have been procured from Thermax which is also the EPC contractor while the Turbine has been procured from HTC, China and Generator from Jinan Power Equipment Factory, China.
Mr Subhrakant Panda MD of the company said that "Combined with the imminent start of the captive coal block, the foundation is in place for a boost to the topline and bottomline going ahead."

Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn, who manages the career of stars like Carl Froch and James DeGale, feels that a unification fight between WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs) and WBA 160 pound champ Gennady Golovkin (30-0, 27 KOs) would be a match-up that would attract a tremendous about of excitement and interest from boxing fans due to the popularity of both fighters. However, Hearn believes that Golovkin would ultimately beat Cotto if that fight were to get made.
Hearn doesn't go into the reasons for this opinion, but you have to see it as a situation where Golovkin's huge power, superior size and technical skills would be too much for the 33-year-old Cotto. Golovkin hits with major power, and none of his last 17 opponents have made it the distance with him. Getting to the finish line, even in defeat, is a major accomplishment for any of Golovkin's opposition and the last guy to go the distance with him was in 2008 when Amar Amari lasted the full 8 round distance.
"GGG v Cotto – Huge fight, huge event, huge numbers, but only one winner! #GGG," said Hearn on his Twitter.
As good as this fight is, we may not see it for a while, if at all, and due to Cotto being very careful about the guys he faces at this point in his career. He's got his trainer Freddie Roach checking out all of his potential opponents, and he's not a someone that likes to have his fighters taking risky fights that they're likely to lose. Roach has been this way as the trainer for Manny Pacquiao, as he always been quite vocal about the types of opponents that he felt were good for him.
When Pacquiao had a chance to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2009, Roach talked tough and seemed to some boxing fans to be not excited about the fight despite the huge money that it would have made for all those involved. Ultimately, Pacquiao went off into a different direction to face the safer choice in Joshua Clottey.
Roach was at Golovkin's fight against Daniel Geale last Saturday night to scout Golovkin first hand. Roach will use the knowledge that he gained from watching that fight to help make a decision on who Cotto should fight next in December. There are several names – Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Golovkin – that Roach has mentioned are in the running for that fight. But, Cotto's promoter Bob Arum is also very interested in matching him up against welterweight Tim Bradley, because he feels that this would be a good fight for Cotto.
Roach might agree to a fight against Bradley because it's a doable fight due to both guys being with Top Rank, and it being a safer fight than putting Cotto in with Chavez Jr or Golovkin. Canelo isn't going to fight Cotto in December, because that's a fight that will likely be made next year on Cinco de Mayo in May.

I'm making a new plugin that incorporates Smooth Gallery. If you are familiar with Smooth Gallery, it is a javascript apparatus built upon the prototype framework. I am just getting around to building the custom actions that will be used in theme/template pages when I ran into a question: "How do I only include the mootools library on pages that use the action".
I've been able to accomplish this in the wp-admin section rather easily by checking the value of
$_GET['page'], but I am lost as to how to go about this in the live blog. What I'd like to do is represented in pseudo code below"
function my_wp_head(){
if( $theme_file_uses_my_custom_action )
wp_enqueue_scripts( 'mootools' );
add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_wp_head' );
Any thoughts here? I can't wrap my head around this one. Thanks in advance,
