An architect of the latter part of the Middle Ages, whose name is mentioned with comparative frequency in contemporaneous literature. But information about his personality and his works is somewhat more difficult to find. It seems however, that he was born in Gratz, Styria ("Seckauer Kirchenschmuck", 1880, p. 56). He worked on the choir of the Freiburg cathedral from 1471 to 1480; in the latter year he was compelled to leave the task of building and to swear that he would not try to revenge himself for this. In 1480 he worked on the church of St. Leonhard at Basle; in 1482, on the cathedral at Strasburg ; and in the following year he probably was engaged on the great cathedral of Milan with a yearly salary of 180 guilders — at least there is a "Johannes of Graz" mentioned as architect in Ricci, "Storia dell' archit. italiana", II, 388. The choir at Freiburg was turned over to him in 1471; the contract is interesting and instructive showing as it does the manner in which buildings of this kind were erected during the latter part of the Middle Ages, and how the working hours, wages, etc., were determined upon (Schreiber, "Münster zu Freiburg ", Appendix, 15 sq.). The choir possesses great beauty, but it also manifests the peculiarities of Late Gothic. It is long, like the main church, with the nave higher, the side aisles lower and somewhat narrower than in the front, and surrounded by twelve chapels, enclosed on two sides by fluted columns. The arched roof, supported by beautifully carved columns, forms a network. The windows are characteristically Late Gothic, and the arches are wonderfully delicate. The whole is the work of a master.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

I own my own company putting on in home parties and I sell a lot of anal stuff, however I hear wonderful reviews on these but I also read another review and I agree with the one time use. Anal can be fun but with the proper use. I do hear a lot of positive on these though.

Two teenagers who were shot early Sunday in Harrisburg are recovering from what police describe as "non life-threatening wounds."
An 18-year-old male was shot in his right thigh and a 15 year-old male was shot in his right arm, police said, adding that neither teen would provide any information about what happened or where.
Police said they were responding to the M.W. Smith Homes off North Cameron Street around 12:30 a.m. Sunday for a report of a shooting when they were diverted to a convenience store at North Cameron and Herr streets.
There, they found two Uptown Harrisburg teenagers who had been shot seeking help. The teenagers were transported to Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center for treatment of wounds police said were not life-threatening.
Officers located a number of spent casings from handguns in an area of the M.W. Smith Homes where the original dispatch indicated.
They said they also stopped an Allison Hill man, 29, who was speeding, in a car with a bullet hole in the windshield, through a red light and away from the area where shots were reported.
The man claimed he was visiting a person but did not know who that person was or where the person lived, police said.
Anyone with information about the shootings should call police at 717-255-6586.

Dependable Auto Body and Victory Sports both advanced to the Twyford-Muche Major semifinals, but took very different paths to get there.
Dependable Auto Body defeated the NY Dynasty 5-4 in a play-in game Sunday morning to earn a spot in the quarterfinals later in the morning against Team DMZ.
It looked like Team DMZ was off to a quick start, leading 2-0 in the bottom of the first when two players were ejected for arguing a call at home plate.
With only 10-players, DMZ was down to eight and the umpires rewarded the win to Dependable.
Victory Sports defeated the SI Pirates 7-2.
Dependable will now meet Reyes Progreso Sunday at 9 a.m. at Clove Lakes 2 and Victory will meet top seeded Brothers Pastries at Clove Lakes 1 at 9.
The winners will meet for the title at 11:15.
Dependable Auto Body 5, NY Dynasty 4
The Dynasty jumped out to a 3-0 in the top of the first off complete-game winner Mike Fiore.
In the third inning, a single by Devon Discoli, three walks and a two-run double by Nick Doscher tied the score at 3-3.
In the fifth, a bases loaded single by Frank Dimasi and sac fly by Doscher made the score 5-3.
In the bottom of the seventh, the Dynasty cut the lead to 5-4 and had the bases loaded with two outs, but Fiore recorded the final out via a strikeout.
Victory Sports 7, SI Pirates 2
Southpaw Chris Falcone was touched for two runs in the first inning via Jordan Stark's RBI double and an infield error, and then blanked the Pirates on four hits the rest of the way.
Victory responded with three runs in the top of the second on two walks, an RBI single by Frank Torres and a two-run single by Ralph Tufano.
After Victory scored a run in the fourth on a Pirate error, Ryan Brown crushed a home run to deep right field.
Victory added a run in the seventh via a Troy Sogluizzo double and a Pirate error.
Falcons 6, Victory State Bank 0
Danny Contant (5IP, 2H, 4BB, 7K) and David Rees (2IP, 2BB, 3K) teamed on the hill as the Falcons captured their first Legends/Murphy championship.
The winners jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first on Kevin Anza's solo home run.
In the third inning, Tim Holder's RBI single gave the winners a 2-0 lead.
Bryan Mullins homered in the fourth to make it 3-0.
Braves 14, Cardinals 4
Sean McAuliffe and Gunnar Strandberg had three hits and two RBI each and John Sica had a double and three RBI as the Braves advanced to Sunday's final against the Wolfpack at 9 a.m. at the Richmond County Youth Complex. Dylan Zinko picked up the win.
Wolfpack 9, CC&R Royals 6
Sal Villani, Mike Baroz and Anthony Ollivetti each had two hits and Jonathon Swanson had two RBI in the Wolfpack's semifinal win.
Ryan Mannello went the distance for the win.
Wolfpack 8, Beer Garden Cubs 7
Trailing 7-3 in the bottom of the 10th inning, the Wolfpack scored five times for the walk-off win.
In the bottom of the 10th with two outs, Joe Azzinaro and Manello doubled and Villani, Joe Murgia and Baroz all singled to tie the score at 7-7.
Chris Vardaro then drew a bases-loaded walk for an 8-7 win.

Lane, who lives in London and is married to writer Allison Pearson (whose wonderful "How Does She Do It?" was reviewed her a couple of issues ago), has been with the New Yorker since 1993, maintaining their tradition of great movie critiques and critics. He assumed the mantle from the late Pauline Kael, the woman who single-handedly redefined what the craft is about, and has done it consistently since, with wit, style, and elegance.
With "Nobodys Perfect," Lane follows another Kael tradition, that being the compilation of columns into book form. The result is joyous, and a true celebration for those who appreciate good writing, films, and good writing about films. A delight from start to finish, this assemblage of almost 150 reviews and profiles also includes several book reviews and other pieces on art and culture, broken into three categories - movies, books, and people. Every piece here is proof positive that Lane is not just Kaels successor, he is every bit as insightful, spirited, and gifted as she was. Reading this volume, there is little doubt that Lane is one of the foremost film critics of all time.
His skills are so considerable that often, his writing is better than the films themselves. In fact, the worse the movie is, the sharper and funnier his columns are, and that is not meant to undermine that he has an incredible depth of knowledge about a dizzying array of topics and is an astute analyst. Its just that he is so sharp and incredibly entertaining, especially when he writes about movies that dont live up to their potential, as he does here in this excerpt from the Robert Redford-Demi Moore-Woody Harrelson soaper "Indecent Proposal":
"Indecent Proposal stars Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore as David and Diana Murphy, a young married couple living in California. He is an architect, she sells real estate, but times are hard; the film starts in a welter of voice-overs as they look back on better days. This is sad for them but great news for the audience, which gets to see Woody Harrelson trying to play a high school kid by wearing a shaggy wig: it's one of those preposterous, sublimely wrong moments that make you glad to be a moviegoer..."We never had much money," Diana muses, looking back on their early years, "so David would show me architecture that moved him." Now, there's a fun day out: have Woody Harrelson take you around and point out buildings that move him. All in all, it's a relief when the two of them go to Vegas on a whim and win twenty-five thousand dollars in a single night. They then make love on top of all the crackling bills, with the camera right there, shifting its position in excitement and rising to a sudden fade. (I think the movie comes before they do.) John Updike pulled a similar stunt in Rabbit Is Rich, where Harry Angstrom screwed his wife amid a hoard of gold Krugerrands, but there you heard the clink of self-delusion as Rabbit lost a coin and scrabbled around for it in panic. No such ironies are permitted here. Instead, the film bundles together all its desires and smelts them into one gleaming character: a billionaire named John Gage, played by Robert Redford. Gage thinks that money can buy you love-or, at any rate, the kind of sex that might, you know, sprout into love... Gage then makes his big offer: a million bucks for a night with Diana -- no aftermath, no strings. "It's just my body," Diana explains. "It's not my mind." I was glad to have that cleared up, though it does raise an interesting question: How much would you pay for an evening with Demi Moore's mind? I would happily give away the rest of the plot, except that you can guess it anyway. Indecent Proposal induces a strange power in the viewer, a glow of prophecy: you can see every kink in the plot minutes, even hours, before it happens. Looking back at my notes, I found a scribbled menu of predictions -- "He'll buy the dress," "They're going to lose," and the eerily specific "He'll find the copter taking off as he arrives" -- each of them followed by a gratified "Yup."
Lane (and the reader) has great fun with the skewering of movies like this one, as well as others like "Sleepless in Seattle,""Poetic Justice," another Demi Moore clunker, "The Scarlet Letter," and "Braveheart," of which he says, "The obsequies seem to go on forever: the bodies are buried at a Christian ceremony, after which a little girl comes shyly up to William and gives him a thistle. I thought, I'm out of here." The bulk of the book, though, is given to films he admires, and the eclectic list contains the likes of "The English Patient," "Speed," and "The Usual Suspects."
The other selections here, profiles of authors such as Vladimir Nabokov and Thomas Pynchon, and some full-length articles, round out the collection and demonstrate the authors versatility as a critic, as well as his humor and intelligence. Whether hes dissecting Forrest Gump, Shakespeare, "Sound of Music" sing-along events, the Oscars, a Walker Evans retrospective, or cookbooks, Lane is a true pleasure to read. At one point, he says that "the ideal literary diet consists of trash and classics...books you can read without thinking, and books you have to read if you want to think at all." One can say the same about a walk down this Lane - his work has set new standards for criticism, whether the topic is on the disposable or the indispensable.

ESSEXVILLE, MI — To show appreciation for military personnel, David Hunt, owner of the Big Boy restaurant, 3111 Center Ave., is offering a free breakfast to veterans from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 12. Veterans Day is Sunday, Nov. 11.
Hunt said it's the third year the restaurant has offered free breakfast to vets at the Essexville location.
"In light of what's going on in the world today, and with what the military is doing, this is something small I did for those who served," Hunt said, adding that while he never served in the military, he can let returning servicemen and women know that they are appreciated in their communities.
Last year, more than 150 current and former military personnel received a free meal, with more expected this year, Hunt said.
"It seems to be growing every year," he noted, adding that he started the promotion five years ago at the Big Boy he owns in St. Johns.
To receive their free trip through the breakfast buffet, veterans should notify their server.
"We're on the honor system," Hunt said, adding that he expects some veterans will wear their uniforms or otherwise display their military service.

Last week, I had the pleasure of hosting a reception for our women's club water polo and lacrosse teams to celebrate their national championships. Our women's water polo club captured its first National Collegiate Club Championship at Florida State University in early May, knocking off some pretty tough competition in the process. And our 10th-seeded women's lacrosse club pulled off an upset of No. 1 Colorado State to win the national club lacrosse title. Both teams were considered underdogs, but with their spirit and skill, they brought the national titles home to UC Davis!

Shane van Gisbergen looks to enjoy the teenage years he missed now he's quit V8s
- From: SPEED
- December 07, 2012
Shane van Gisbergen is looking forward to living a normal life in New Zealand now his V8 Supercars career has come to an end.
The 23-year-old has spoken to the media for the first time on the reasoning behind his plan to quit V8 Supercars after last weekend's Sydney Telstra 500.
"I'm looking forward to waking up in the morning and not really knowing what I'm going to do that day," van Gisbergen told The New Zealand Herald.
Will you miss Shane van Gisbergen? Leave your comment below.
"Don't get me wrong, it's been good here in V8s but it's time I just went and had some fun and do different stuff.
Shane van Gisbergen V8 Stats

- Was the 200th driver to start a V8 Supercar race when he debuted in 2007
"I'm looking forward to being 18, 19, 21 etc and going and having some fun."
Van Gisbergen caught V8 Supercars fans on the hop last month by announcing he was being released from a recently-signed three-year deal with Stone Brothers Racing and leaving the sport, only saying 'personal reasons' were behind his exit.
Despite rampant speculation of just what that two-word phrase could mean, the fast Kiwi admits he's just looking for a break.
"I'm 23 now and it's all I've really known is racing these things and the time has gone pretty quick."
Van Gisbergen had a meteoric rise through the sport's junior categories in his native New Zealand, growing up into the intense world of highly-competitive racing rather than enjoying his teenage years.
Jumping from rung to rung on the ladder, he reached V8 Supercars at the tender age of 18, landing a plum drive with Team Kiwi Racing half-way through the 2007 V8 series at Oran Park.
"I only spent a season in each open-wheeler class and then made the big, big jump into V8s.
"Going to Pukekohe and racing there in V8s was always my goal. I had no interest of going to Europe and all that stuff - I wanted to come here [Australia] and race V8s.
"I liked the V8s because the racing was really exciting. It's not so much any more with the fuel races, but back then it was great to watch and all I wanted to do was race V8s."
A wolf in sheep's clothing, the black car with the silver fern on the side was in fact built and prepared by SBR, the team he would soon drive for full-time. Until now.
"It's sort of like leaving a family as I've been here five and a half years.
"It's a different feeling. It's a bit weird and I'm sad to be leaving but I'm also really excited about the future."
Re-live all the excitement of the 2012 V8 Supercars Championship over the summer months on SPEED (512).

Previous abstract Next abstract
We analyzed UBVRI, H$\alpha$, Washington CMT$_1$T$_2$, and JHK CCD photometry as well as low-resolution spectroscopy of the young, populous cluster NGC 330 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Though one of the most thoroughly studied clusters, there is significant disagreement about two of the most important parameters of NGC 330 -- metallicity and reddening. Reddening determinations for NGC 330 range from E$_{\rm B-V} = 0.03$ mag to 0.12 mag, while recent abundance determinations differ by more than 1 dex in [Fe/H].
Using our new objective theoretical technique of multicolor isochrone fitting (e.g., Roberts \& Grebel, this conference), we can determine for the first time reddening, abundance, age, and distance modulus in a single calculation. Application of our method to the independent Johnson and Washington data and isochrones shows excellent agreement. We derive the following results for NGC 330: E$_{\rm B-V,0} = 0.10\pm0.015$, [Fe/H] = $-0.67\pm0.24$ dex, DM = $18.90\pm0.07$, age $20\pm\sim1.5$ Myr. These physically and observationally compatible results provide some explanation for how discrepant values could be found by the several empirical and theoretical methods used in prior studies, as we discuss.
We also studied the Be star content of NGC 330. Among other things, its Be stars exhibit an infrared excess of up to 1 mag in V--K. We find correlations between infrared excess and our Balmer emission strength index that give insight into the atmosphere and environment of Be stars.
We compare the properties of the cluster stars to those of the surrounding field population. Several prior studies found the young field population to be more metal-rich than the cluster population. We do not find any significant difference: the region seems well mixed. These metallicities will be useful in studying the enrichment history of the SMC.

Irondale under boil order through Saturday
City school employee indicted
STEUBENVILLE – William Rhinaman, a 53-year-old director of technology for Steubenville City Schools, remains in the Jefferson County jail today waiting for his Wednesday afternoon arraignment on charges he obstructed a special grand jury investigating whether additional crimes were committed regarding the Steubenville teen rape case.
Rhinaman was arrested at approximately 4:30 p.m. Monday at his Mingo Junction home by Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents.
He was taken to the Jefferson County jail, where he was booked into the facility and held without bond until his 1 p.m. Wednesday arraignment hearing to answer charges of tampering with evidence, obstructing justice, obstructing official business and perjury.
Three of the charges are felonies, while the obstructing official business is a second-degree misdemeanour.
Rhinaman is expected to ask for legal assistance from the Ohio Public Defender's Office during his arraignment hearing Wednesday afternoon.
Steubenville City Schools Superintendent Michael McVey said Monday evening he "was aware of the situation," but declined additional comment.
McVey was expected to issue a statement today.
Summit County retired Judge Patricia Ann Cosgrove is expected to preside over the arraignment proceedings.
Cosgrove was appointed by the Ohio Supreme Court to oversee the special grand jury investigating the Steubenville rape case after Jefferson County Common Pleas Judge Joseph Bruzzese recused himself from the case.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced the secret four-count indictment late Monday afternoon and said, "This is the first indictment in an ongoing grand jury investigation. Our goal remains to uncover the truth, and our investigation continues."
The indictment was returned by the 14-member special grand jury during its meeting Friday and made formal Monday.
The indictment remains sealed at this point.
DeWine said Monday evening a no-bond order was issued, and Rhinaman will remain in the county jail until his arraignment.
"The grand jury work is not done and the panel will continue to meet. Our goal is to find the truth. Some investigations take time and this investigation is ongoing. I am not going to speculate on future indictments. That wouldn't be fair. But the grand jury will continue meeting," said DeWine.
The special grand jury investigation was announced in March by DeWine immediately after two former Steubenville High School students were convicted and sentenced for their roles in a series of parties in August 2012 that saw a Weirton teenage girl raped.
The special grand jury was impaneled in April and the same day BCI agents searched Steubenville High School, the school district administrative offices and the Harding Stadium fieldhouse and seized computers and cell phones.
Search warrants also were served at Vestige Digital Investigations, a digital forensics storage company in Medina that has done work for the school district.
The company has denied it's the subject of a criminal investigation.
The special grand jury has met 10 times since it was seated on April 15.
A chief issue before the panel is whether coaches, school administrators or other adults knew of the allegation but failed to report it as required by Ohio law.
The special grand jury is set to meet again later this month.

Depression Other Emotional Problems Bladder Cancer
Do depression and other emotional problems increase the risk of getting bladder cancer?
No: Emotional problems do not increase the rate of bladder cancer. Bladder cancer is generally caused by carcinogens. Risk factors include smoking, dyes, chemicals, and benzene compounds.

Bladder (Definition)
The bladder is a muscular organ in the pelvis that accepts urine from the kidneys, stores the urine at low pressure, & expels the urine during voluntary voiding. Though seemingly a simple reservoir, the bladder is a complex organ intricately connected with the brain and spinal cord with sensory, motor, and autonomic circuits. The muscular layer that contracts during voids ...Read more
Urine test checks for bladder cancer or other problems?
Can be both: Many tests can be run on urine, although the selection is not as vast as blood testing. The basic test is called a urinalysis or ua. A urine cytology is a separate test where a pathologist evaluates the urine for cancer cells. Please ask your doctor more about the testing. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer

Could a "full" bladder on CT with contrast of abdomen & pelvis be confused or misread as bladder cancer/tumor/problems?
Probably Not: Part of the intent of using contrast on a ct scan of the pelvis is to "fill the bladder" this allows us to see if there is thickening of the bladder walls, or filling abnormalities among other things. It's unlikely that a full bladder represents problems, unless the problem is one of emptying the bladder.

How dangerous is bladder cancer?
Depends: There are various grades of bladder cancer to determine how aggressive the cancer is. Cancers that are very aggressive and multifocal tend to be much more dangerous than other types of bladder that are more similar to normal bladder cells. If these very aggressive tumors are not treated appropriately, they tend to metastasize and spread over time. Once this occurs, the long term prognosis is poor. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers

Prospect Flashback: Marlins Slugger Giancarlo Stanton When He Went Simply By 'Mike'
In case you missed it Wedneday, the No. 1 Marlins Major Leaguer, slugging outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, was struck in the helmet by a pitch from No. 1 Marlins Minor Leaguer, right-handed starter Jose Fernandez. (See the video with MLB.com's article.)
Things move so fast here in 2013 that it's easy to forget that Stanton was, like Fernandez is now, a top prospect — but an unproven one at that — as recently as three years ago. Stanton, who went simply by Mike back then, played just 324 games in the Minors and all below the Triple-A level. He hit 81 home runs as a farmhand, or one ever 14.75 at-bats, portending his MLB power potential.
Here is a gallery of Stanton in every Minors uni he donned 2007-2010. Click on any picture to begin the slideshow. For all past editions of Prospect Flashback, head here.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Miley Cyrus both with similar looks. There is no mistake that there is an obvious resemblance here.
Maxi skirt designed by Peter Dundas, Cyrus wore this outfit to attend the premier of The Hunger Games. While the outfits resemble each other, the women wearing them send off a completely different message.
E! Fashion Police said:
"Cyrus kept it simple and understated—sort of an 'I'm with the band' look—with short, golden, highlighted waves that complemented her cazh, gypsy-chic style. But she wasn't the only one…"
"Gwyneth Paltrow had a more of a Mata Hari- 'I'm the star in the room' look."
My thoughts: Is it just me or does Miley Cyrus usually look trashy in the majority of looks she chooses for events? She should have left this outfit for the Saturday night beach bonfire with her friends. Paltrow is definitely the classier of the 2.
The problem here is that Cyrus did not follow the golden rule, highlight one body part you want to show off. The cleavage, bares arms and shoulders and the midriff are all just too much and easily take this look from one that could be classy and tasteful to one that is much more teeny-bopper-boho-mall-walking-window-shopping.
I think Cyrus should wear the top separately with acid washed high waist shorts and a bold jacket or a vest for a casual look.

What is in this article?:
- Western fires worse due to invasive cheatgrass
- Remote-sensing technology
- Cheatgrass is involved in a disproportionately high number of fires in the Great Basin, a 600,000 square-kilometer arid area in the West that includes large sections of Nevada, as well as parts of Utah, Colorado, Idaho, California and Oregon.
- The fires can threaten agricultural lands and, since more people are building homes in the west, residential areas as well as habitat for threatened native wildlife.
An invasive grass species may be one reason fires are bigger and more frequent in certain regions of the western United States, according to a team of researchers.
Researchers used satellite imagery to identify cheatgrass, a plant species accidentally introduced by settlers in the West during the 1800s, in a disproportionately high number of fires in the Great Basin, a 600,000 square-kilometer arid area in the West that includes large sections of Nevada, as well as parts of Utah, Colorado, Idaho, California and Oregon.
"Over the past decade, cheatgrass fueled the majority of the largest fires, influencing 39 of the largest 50 fires," said Jennifer Balch, assistant professor, Penn State's Department of Geography and Earth and Environmental Systems Institute. "That's much higher than what it should be when you consider how much of the Great Basin that cheatgrass covers."
The average size of the fires in cheatgrass grasslands, which dominate only about 6 percent of the Great Basin, was significantly larger than the average fire in most regions dominated by other vegetation, including pinyon-juniper areas, montane shrubland and agricultural land.
In addition to targeting the influence of cheatgass on major fires, the researchers, who reported their findings in the online version of Global Change Biology, also found that the plant may play a role in increasing the frequency of fires, said Balch.
"From 2000 to 2009, cheatgrass burned twice as much as any other vegetation," said Balch.
One of the consequences of more widespread cheatgrass fires is that landscapes dominated by the grass have a shorter fire-return interval -- the time between fires in a region -- of 78 years, compared to other species like sagebrush, which has a 196-year fire return interval.
"What's happening is that cheatgrass is creating a novel grass-fire cycle that makes future fires more likely," said Balch, who started this work at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. "Fire promotes cheatgrass and cheatgrass promotes fires."
The ability of cheatgrass to rapidly spread and fill in the ground between other plant species may be one reason the plant is involved in larger and more frequent blazes, said Balch, who worked with Bethany Bradley, assistant professor of environmental conservation, University of Massachusetts-Amherst; Carla D'Antonio, professor of ecology, evolution and marine biology, University of California-Santa Barbara, and José Gómez-Dans, research associate in the department of geography and the National Centre for Earth Observation, University College London.

Some people choose to follow very few people on Twitter. Others choose to follow everyone back. Most people fall somewhere between and, like me, never established a consistent plan for realistically finding, managing, and engaging with hundreds or even thousands of "follows."
There are several apps that are searchable databases of people-to-follow lists created by others. There are apps to search Twitter bios and apps that recommend or help you discover people to follow. But what about managing the people you already follow?
For awhile now, ManageFlitter has been my favorite Twitter contacts manager for its ability to filter follows for removal based on simple but useful criteria like if they are not following you back or are inactive. A new tool called Formulists goes beyond follow removal by offering additional keyword and geographic filtering options and then auto-generating continuously updating Twitter lists of the results. Formulists can also act as a discovery engine if you allow it to curate beyond those users you already follow.
Why would you want lists? Twitter lists are a simple way to organize groups of people and carry them across platforms. For example, you can create columns in a client like TweetDeck from your existing lists and then have the same lists available when you access the Twitter website or certain mobile apps. The problem is that Twitter lists are a hassle to make without an app like Formulists.
Specifically with Formulists you can:
- Sort Your Following: Organize the people you follow by searchable criteria such as location and bio keywords
- Find New People: Find people similar to you, who your follows engage with, and mutual follows of your follows
- Manage Your Followers: See the people who recently followed or unfollowed you, people who do not follow you back, who you recently followed, and who recently listed you
- Track Your Interactions: Keep track of who you retweet, who retweets you, and who you @ converse with
- Create Custom Lists: Add, subtract, and filter existing lists or clone another existing list
As ReadWriteWeb points out, the one major limitation of Formulists is a limitation of Twitter itself — you can only have 20 lists at any given time. Hopefully with the new platform released, Twitter will return attention to improving its oft-overlooked features like lists.
See some of the lists I created here. What are your favorite apps for managing contacts on Twitter?

It may not be the capital any more, but Lagos has still got it going on
It's 20 years since Lagos lost the title as Nigeria's capital, but the city doesn't seem to believe it. For a start, it's still home to the country's main business district, on Lagos Island. Nigeria's movie industry ('Nollywood') is based here too, and its vibrant music scene is famous throughout Africa and beyond.
Take a cheap flight to Lagos and you'll soon see it's not the place for a relaxing break – it's perhaps a bit hectic for that. Although there are some sandy beaches on the Atlantic coast. But if you're up for an adventure in one of the busiest cities in Africa, grab a ticket to Lagos.
From Fuji to Afrobeat, Lagos is at the heart of the Nigerian music scene. It's changing all the time, so ask a local for tips on where to find the hottest gigs.
Lagos has more than a dozen gorgeous beaches, from the lively Bar Beach on Victoria Island, to the more peaceful Lighthouse Beach, which you might just have to yourself.
About an hour away from Lagos, in the town of Abeokuta, you'll find the sacred Olumo Rock. Hire a guide to explain its history on the breathtaking walk to the top.
Sharpen up your bargaining skills and head to Jankara Market, which sells everything from fabric and jewellery to traditional medicine. Haggling isn't just permitted, it's expected.
For a complete change of pace, head to the Lekki Conservation Centre. Take the 2km boardwalk trail, keeping a lookout for monkeys, birds and even crocodiles.

Boeing Does the "Right Thing"
The planemaker heads off criticism of its settlement with the government by passing up a tax deduction that could have eased the pain
In calculating its earnings for the second quarter, released on July 26, Boeing made the unusual decision to ignore an enticing tax loophole that would have wiped out much of the financial pain associated with a $615 million settlement with the government over egregious ethics charges.
Why take a pass on hundreds of millions in savings? The decision is a shrewd move by Boeing Chairman and CEO W. James McNerney that could save Boeing (BA) lots of trouble in the future. The news came just weeks before Senate hearings about the Boeing settlement and the possibility that the Chicago company would use it to reduce taxes owed the very government that levied the fine. Earlier this month, Senators Charles Grassley, John Warner, and John McCain had voiced reservations about the deal negotiated by the Justice Dept.
With new defense contracts on the horizon and dissatisfaction on Capitol Hill over the settlement, Boeing needed to do something to defuse this political bombshell. "Would Boeing have taken a tax write-off if it could? Sure," says Richard Aboulafia, aerospace analyst for Teal Group consultants. "But it's better to eat the cost and not make yourself a target. This was a savvy move."
Other Pentagon watchdog agencies agreed. "There are enough questions about how this settlement was structured that any other decision by McNerney would have been hard to justify," said Jennifer Porter Gore, a spokesperson for Pogo, a government watchdog agency. quot;We're glad that Boeing is doing the right thing."
Boeing agreed to pay the fine on June 30 for improperly acquiring Lockheed Martin documents related to its rocket launch program and for recruiting Darleen Druyun, a top Pentagon procurement official, at the same time she was overseeing billions of dollars in contracts that Boeing was competing for. The move was part of McNerney's effort to rehabilitate Boeing's reputation (see BusinessWeek.com, 3/13/06, "Cleaning Up Boeing").
The decision to skip the tax deduction cost the Chicago aerospace giant a lot of money in the second quarter. Boeing took a total of $1.07 billion in charges in the period, including $496 million to cover delays in an international airborne surveillance system for Australia and Turkey as well as $571 million of the $615 million settlement. That contributed to a $170 million quarterly loss for the company—the first in three years. Revenues rose 2%, to $15 billion, from $14.7 billion in the year-earlier quarter.
"Without question, the short-term financial impact of the taxability issue is significant," McNerney told analysts and reporters on the July 26 conference call. "However, the long-term value of Boeing's reputation is even more significant." On Wall Street, Boeing shares slipped 4.6%, to close at $79.90.
At least one U.S. senator—Senate Finance Committee Chairman Grassley—applauded Boeing. But he remains critical of Justice for failing to consider the settlement's tax treatment that allowed Boeing attorneys to negotiate a "35%" discount. "That's the right decision," Grassley said in a statement. "However, Boeing's attorneys believed the settlement was tax deductible.…Justice lawyers were asleep at the switch. That's inexcusable."
Grassley, McCain, and Warner had written to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales objecting to structuring the Boeing settlement in such a way that would allow the company to deduct its payments and "leaving the American taxpayer to subsidize its misconduct." Grassley said he would continue to seek legislation that clarifies whether parts of the settlement are deductible. Warner and McCain could not be reached for comment.
In making his decision, McNerney said he felt strongly that the right thing to do was to not seek tax-deductibility for the settlement charges. "This should be a signal to our employees, customers, suppliers, and our shareholders of our willingness to acknowledge responsibility and to accept accountability and to move forward," McNerney said in the conference call. "Simply speaking, my intent is to focus on the future and put this unfortunate part of our past behind us."

The largely party-line vote — 219 Democrats voted "yea" while 178 Republicans and 34 Democrats voted no — meant President Obama's biggest domestic initiative inched closer to the end of its year-long political and legislative odyssey.
The vote at 10:45 p.m. sent a bill passed on Dec. 24 by the Senate to Obama for his signature. The House, however, was to still consider another bill that would make major changes, called reconciliation.
Upon passage — and approval seems virtually assured — it will go to the Senate. Should the Senate concur — probably later this week — all the health care changes would need is Obama's signature.
The $940 billion legislation would create the biggest health care system since Medicare was created 45 years ago. Under the new plan, most consumers would be required to have coverage by 2014, and most employers would have to offer it.
The reconciliation bill makes several key changes to the Senate measure. A Medicare payroll tax would increase by 0.9 percentage points, to 2.35 percent, for earnings of more than $200,000 a year for single filers and $250,000 for joint filers. In addition, such earners would pay 3.8 percent on dividend, interest and other unearned income, starting in 2013.
The bill also provides more help with insurance premiums for lower- and middle-income consumers and expands Medicaid funding to states.
"I know that this bill is complicated," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) "It's also very simple. Illness and infirmity are universal, and we are stronger against them together than alone. Our bodies may fail us. Our neighbors don't have to."
Republicans warned the plan's impact would reverberate beyond health care policy.
"Make no mistake about it, we're not just here to pass a health care bill. We're being asked to make a choice about the future path of this country," said Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the top Republican on the House Budget Committee. "The philosophy advanced on this floor by this majority today is so paternalistic and so arrogant, it's condescending."
The outcome was in some doubt early today as about a dozen anti-abortion Democrats threatened to withhold their support unless they got guarantees the legislation wouldn't expand the government's role in abortion. However, the White House said this afternoon Obama would issue an executive order to ensure the administration will enforce long-standing restrictions on the use of federal funds for abortion.
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), who led the anti-abortion group, was pleased, and flatly predicted it would have the 216 needed for passage.
"We wanted to see health care reform, but there was a principle we wanted to see — the sanctity of life." Stupak said. Another group member, Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.) said he now planned to cast "the most pro-life vote" in his 34-year congressional career.
The lengthy executive order, negotiated over several days, resolves several thorny problems — it removes from the legislation any changes to abortion policy, which would have required the difficult prospect of getting Senate approval. It also assures the support of the last big bloc of holdout Democrats.
Democrats picked up other key votes today. Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.), who had voted no on the House bill in November, said he would now vote yes. "This legislation before us in not perfect, but it does make substantial improvements on what exists today," he said.
Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio,) one of the anti-abortion Democrats on the fence, sadi said she got assurances from administration officials that current federal law on abortion would be preserved.
Democrats, though, were still having trouble convincing a lot of "Blue Dogs," or fiscal conservatives. Rep. John Tanner (D-Tenn.) decided to vote "no" because "I am unconvinced the long-term trend of rising health care costs is adequately addressed."
The debate today began as the Capitol buzzed with an electric atmosphere. Outside in warm early spring weather, crowds protesting the health care bill and others supporting it rallied.
"Things are colliding today," said Maria Robalino, 35, of Washington, carrying a purple "Catholics for Healthcare Reform" sign.
Inside the Capitol, the mood could be tense. Particularly after a protester jumped up during the debate and shouted "kill the bill." Police quickly pounced and escorted him out of the chamber.
The debate on the House floor was a rerun of sorts, as Republicans and Democrats took turns offering well-rehearsed points.
"We know a nation is truly healthy when all of its citizens can have health care," said Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.)
"These bills are not the answer. They compound current problems and make health care even more expensive for small businesses," argued Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.).

Metallica brought down the curtain on Reading Festival last night (Sunday) with a hit heavy set of metal anthems.
The US rockers blasted through a 90-minute set, which included two new songs 'Cyanide' and 'The Day That Never Comes', from their forthcoming album 'Death Magnetic'.
Featuring a spectacular pyrotechnics show, fans were treated to the loudest show of the weekend, in the wake of complaints about low sound levels on the main stage.
Starting the set with 'Creep', Metallica raced through all their biggest hits, including 'Nothing Else Matters', 'Master Of Puppets' and 'Enter Sandman', before ending on a racous 'Seek And Destroy' as fireworks saw out the festival in style.
Earlier on, Tenacious D brought their comedy rock show to Reading Festival for the first time, drawing a huge crowd to the main stage.
Jack Black took to the stage in a wizard's robe while Kyle Gass emeged in a green lizard's outfit, but it was the appearance of a metal demon character during song 'The Metal' which raised the biggest cheers.
The theatrical band were also joined by a large 'devil', who Black danced with during the hit 'Tribute' as the American pair warmed the stage for Metallica.
Feeder proved one of the surprise hits of the day, treating legions of fans to a selection of their greatest hits.
Singer Grant Nicholls dedicated the song 'Buck Rogers' to Slipknot, who were meant to be playing the slot but were forced to cancel, but the highlight of the set was a stunning cover of Nirvana's 'Breed'.
Avenged Sevenfold were also forced to pull their set on the main stage due to illness, prompting some ribbing from the Dropkick Murphys during their afternoon show.
Frontman Al Barr told the crowd: "We won't cancel because of vocal strain, I've been playing with vocal strain for 20 years", before the band were joined by Shane McGowan on stage.

FAIRHOPE, Alambama -- Residents along Fish River weren't expecting what occurred on Tuesday night. Proof of that was found on Thursday morning when many residents were cleaning up after Tuesday night's epic flooding.
Shirley Langley, 70, has lived along the river her entire life. "Never, ever have I seen this kind of devastation living here," she said, sweeping her property on Thursday morning. "This is just unreal. This is the worst ever in my decades."
Langley is a Keeney Drive resident like Trese Thompson along the same road that was hit heavily by record breaking floods. "I had my wife and kids rescued by marine police at midnight," said Thompson on Thursday morning. He was cleaning up along with other neighbors, many of whom were salvaging what they could from the mud.
"All my years here this is the worst I've seen" Thompson said. "But you know what, people lost a lot worst, so I'm grateful we got out with what we lost. "

78 - Timed DKP not functioning
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run a raid with timed DKP active
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Timed DKP should be given at the right times.
Instead, sometimes timed DKP is not given at all and skipped.
What version of the product are you using?
MorgDKP 4.17 (r152) (yeah, I know it isn't latest version, but from the changelogs, this isn't something you have fixed)
Do you have an error log of what happened?
Full log at pastebin:
Please provide any additional information below.
Timed DKP (using an event called just "Timer") is set to be given at 15 minute intervals. As you can see in the pastebin log however, it's given at these times:
And that was the last time, although we ended it at 23:40
I was thinking this might be related to beeing dead when the timer is meant to add DKP? As we had quite a few deaths right here...

Hey mate!
I know exacly WHEN the problem occurs now, if not why.
Sometimes when I die, the timer is reset to 0 when I get back into the instance.
Example (DKP supposed to be given at 15 minute intervals):
20:55 - DKP given
21:08 - Back in instance after death
21:10 - No DKP given
21:23 - DKP given
I figured it might have something to do with the zone switch? As when I release, for a while I am in Icecrown, instead of Ice Crown Citadell, before re-entering the citadell.
Important to note however, is that it is when I re-enter the instance the timer gets reset. If i'm actually corpse running at the time (and then as it is, is located outside the instance), it will give out DKP.
Hope this info will help out :)

Only reason why I wasn't using latest version was that I hadn't noticed there was a new version when we started the raid. Had a look on latest version, and as no fix for this was posted, I decided to ticket it, so that we hopefully can avoid it next sunday :)
Didn't notice any other strange behaviour, but the times fit very well with when we were dead. I don't have any exact log of when I were dead, but we were wiping during those times (yeah, we wiped on trash before marrowgar :P)
And as for starting new raids, or anything else - nope. It started at the start of the instance, and apart from loot during boss, I didn't touch the addon until I stopped it when we were done.
Thanks man :)

Syracuse, NY -- The Zen Center of Syracuse Hoen-Ji has had many homes since a small group of Syracuse University students founded it in 1972 in an annex of SU's Hendricks Chapel. For years, it moved from one member's home to the next.
In 1996, the center moved into an historic 19th-century home at 266 W. Seneca Turnpike, Syracuse, the centerpiece of a 6-acre site that allows it to host more than 100 active members and some 2,000 people the center calls "connections." They meet for meditative sittings and special programs and to attend courses in topics such as stress reduction and introduction to meditation.
The property was once the home of Syracuse pioneer Joshua Forman, who helped create the Erie Canal and was an official for the village of Syracuse, before it became a city. The home later served as a seminary and community center.
The house was built in 1810. The Zen Center this month plans a series of community events tied to the bicentennial of the property.
The Zen Center opens its doors to whoever is interested, said Rebecca Beers, the organization's board president.
"There's enough places where there's anxiety and strife, and our role is to be a calm place," Beers said. "It's just very peaceful, calm and quiet. You're here in the middle of the city, and you still hear the traffic, but you can hear those birds and those chipmunks calling out. The other day we did walking meditation, and there was a heron standing there on one leg looking at us."
The center also prides itself on being what Robert Strickland, one of the founders, calls "non-creedal."
"We're part of the civil community, we're part of the religious community, we're part of the Buddhist community, and we try to be available to each of these communities in whatever appropriate way," he said.
When the Zen Center moved to its current location in 1996, the members weren't aware of the property's history.
''We're very fortunate and privileged to be custodians and stewards of the property," Strickland said. "In the legal sense, Zen Center of Syracuse owns the property, but in a bigger sense we see ourselves as representatives of the community, and it is our responsibility to take care of this piece of earth for the duration of our sojourn."
The Zen Center has made numerous improvements to the house over the last 14 years, including replacing the wrap-around porch, updating the wiring, replacing the roof and improving the insulation. The neighboring carriage house was converted to a meditation hall, and the property next door was acquired as a residence.
Bicentennial events:
These are some of the events connected to the Zen Center of Syracuse's celebration of the Joshua Forman house's 200th anniversary:
The celebration began Thursday with the creation by Buddhist monks of an intricate circular pattern called a mandala, constructed of sand. It represents harmony.
"Creating this takes a great deal of focus, attention, and skill," Strickland said.
The mandala can be viewed from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sunday, when it will be taken down in a sacred dissolution ceremony. The short time span for the mandala honors the temporary nature of all things.
"They create this extraordinary piece of art, and in the end, they just fold it all into a pail, and there's a deep lesson in that," Strickland said. "Even though life is transient, it is still a worthy thing to pay attention to in a heartfelt way."
At 1:30 p.m. today, the Zen Center joins with leaders from the Onondaga Nation for a ceremony called "Honoring and Giving Thanks to the Onondaga Waters." That recognizes the center's location on traditional Onondaga lands. A dedication of a large-scale sculpture by Tom Huff and a reception will follow.
A silent art auction opens on Sunday and features donated art by Jerome Witkin, Carrie Mae Weems, Sarah McCoubrey, Kim Waale, Christian Sunde, Paul Nielsen and others. Bidding ends at 3 p.m. Oct. 17.
Presentations by Soh Daiko, a taiko drumming group, mark the end of the Zen Center's bicentennial series, beginning at 4 p.m. on Oct. 16. Participants can earn how to play the giant Japanese drums. The class costs $15. Soh Daiko will perform an open-air concert, "Taiko: the Art of the Japanese Drum," on the front porch of the Forman House at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 17.
All events, except the taiko drum workshop, are free and open to the public.

Heading into the 2014 college football season, the NCAA has fine-tuned several of its rules in hopes of creating a more consistent and fair on-field product.
Here's a look at four of the more prominent rules changes fans watching the University of Massachusetts football team this season should keep an eye out for, beginning with the targeting rule that's gotten so much attention lately.
Last year, much was made of the penalty, including by yours truly here in this space. Basically, the old rule for targeting – which constitutes a hit from a defender to the head or neck area of a defenseless player – that resulted in an automatic 15-yard penalty was strengthened to include an automatic ejection for the guilty party. Video replay could keep the player in the game if the infraction was found to be not as egregious as originally thought, but the 15-yard penalty would remain.
It happened to UMass once last season when safety Antoine Tharpe was flagged and ejected in the Minutemen's win over Miami (Ohio). For 2014, the targeting rule is getting tweaked after a season's worth of feedback:
- Instant replay can now overturn the 15-yard penalty as well as the ejection
Now, when the officials put on the headset and reverse the verdict on a video replay review of a targeting foul, not only will the player in question remain eligible to play, but the 15 yards are not marched off (assuming there are any other personal fouls on the play). It's a common sense move and one that will be appreciated by coaches everywhere. If you didn't do the crime, why should you be punished?
- For games being played without instant replay, a halftime review will be used instead
Believe it or not, but there are games played each season without the luxury of instant replay. In such cases, there was previously no possibility of overturning anything following a targeting call – now there will be. In the case of one of a replay-less games, officials have the option of reviewing an infraction during halftime. Should a penalized player be found to be wrongly accused, he will be permitted to return to the game for the second half. Players ejected in the second half of games will go before a national review so that their ban from the start of the next game might be uplifted.
Penalty yardage will not be overturned however, because if these stadiums don't have instant replay, it's unlikely they come with a time machine. This rule change stipulates that conference or pregame rules must be in place before the start of play in order to determine what video will be used.
Two other new rules don't involve targeting:
- Roughing the passer extends to include low hits at or below the knee
This rule change is similar to the Tom Brady rule put into effect in the NFL after the New England Patriots quarterback was lost for the year in 2008 following a low hit to the legs that tore his ACL. The key here is the use of the term "forcible contact." Essentially, that means a defender can't lunge at the lower legs of a quarterback with his head, shoulders or arms in an attempt to knock him off his feet. Incidental contact, of course, will happen, especially when a defender is blocked into the quarterback, and won't be penalized. However, that can be a tricky judgement call and probably won't always be made correctly.
- Uniform numbers must contrast in color with the jersey
College football uniforms nowadays can get weird. Like, really weird. They're used to excited fans and entice recruits and usually end up offending uniform traditionalists in the process. In 2014, the NCAA is further clarifying a previous rule that requires some of the most wacky uniforms – the ones that have numerals that blend in with the uniform color – to be easier to read.
Beginning this season, if officials see that a team is wearing such a uniform, they will request the team change into something else. Noncompliance will result in a charged timeout and the team will be asked again between each quarter to change with a further timeout being charged each time the team says no. Teams only receive six timeouts in regulation per game – three each half – so the potential for losing four of them because of illegal uniforms is a strong deterrent.
UMass doesn't currently have any such uniforms, so this won't be a problem.

Town Center development gains approval
Residents show support for retail, apartment buildings at Mequon and Cedarburg Roads
Mequon - The Mequon Common Council is hoping a major development will breathe new life into the Mequon Town Center.
A four building development featuring both apartments and commercial use on the corner of Mequon and Cedarburg roads gained approval Tuesday, with Alderman Dale Mayr opposed. Residents turned out in droves to show support for the project that Blair Williams of WiRED Properties called the start of creating "the gateway to Mequon and Thiensville."
Residents agreed, citing numerous reasons the project is beneficial to Mequon.
The development includes 28,500 square feet of retail space spread among four buildings. Two, four-story buildings will be mixed use with between 40 to 50 apartments with retail on the bottom level and underground parking. One building will feature only retail space and a fourth building will house a restaurant. WiRED Properties will also build a new American Legion.
TIF funds help city pay debt
The development is located in the Town Center tax incremental finance district. This means the project will generate property taxes that will help pay down city debt. Alderwoman Pam Adams said she is hoping this development will also spark new business in the area.
"We have a TIF right now that is severely lacking in people coming in and I don't want it to look old and it's going to look older and older for new businesses coming in there," she said.
The project's net value of the development is approximately $12 million, generating approximately $3 million in revenue through the remaining life the of Town Center TID.
Mayr voted against the proposal, citing concerns over its size. Historically, he said, Mequon has never favored four-story buildings. Though he liked the overall project, he also said there will not be adequate parking to serve it. There will be 141 outdoor parking spaces and 73 underground spaces serving the site, as well as shared parking with city-owned property. Williams said this should compensate the traffic to the development.
No opposition from crowd
Residents echoed the sentiment of the council, saying the Town Center development is just what Mequon needs.
"The project's buildings are attractive and bringing them out to the street with parking in the rear and ground is consistent with our design guidelines," said Stan Smith, former chairman of the Mequon-Thiensville Town Center Committee. "With this project, people will know they arrived in the Town Center."
Members of the American Legion post also spoke in favor of it. The current American Legion building is deemed a historic building in Mequon; however, Elmer Prenzlow, from the American Legion, said a new building will help the struggling veteran's organization continue to exist for years to come.
"Without moving in this direction we would not have a viable future," he said.
Construction is anticipated to begin this summer, with apartments ready for tenants in summer of 2014.

Recipes center around New Orleans-themed vodka, Absolut New Orleans
By Judy Walker
"I heard that the city's Tales of the Cocktail featured drinks using the special Absolut New Orleans vodka, " K.R. writes. "I tried to research drink recipes for the vodka online, but was not successful. Can you publish the recipes they used during the Tales of the Cocktail events or some other recipes using the Absolut New Orleans?"
K., it's so appropriate to print more recipes for drinks when it's high season for hurricanes.
In case you missed the news, Absolut created a new limited-edition mango and black pepper flavored vodka. All proceeds, guaranteed to be at least $2 million, go to Gulf Coast rebuilding efforts.
Thank you to Tales founder Ann Rogers, who provided recipes for K.R. The first one is for the refreshing cocktail served when Absolut announced the special flavor, the first of several city-themed vodkas the company will release.
Absolut Big Breezy
Makes 1 cocktail
4 or 5 small chunks watermelon
2 ounces Absolut New Orleans
½ ounce simple syrup
Squeeze of lemon
Pinch of freshly cracked black pepper
Melon ball for garnish
Muddle watermelon in a mixing glass. Add vodka, simple syrup, lemon and ice. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Sprinkle pepper over cocktail. Garnish with a melon ball.
Bartender Chris Hannah of Arnaud's French 75 bar created the "Creolinha."
Makes 1 cocktail
1 half of a lime
2 ounces cubed mango
½ ounce simple syrup
2 ounces Absolut New Orleans
Lime wheel or wedge for garnish
Muddle lime half, mango and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill an old-fashioned glass with crushed ice.
Add a scoop of ice and Absolut New Orleans to the muddled mixture in the shaker. Shake well, then strain over crushed ice in the old-fashioned glass. Garnish with lime wheel or wedge.
. . . . . . .
Marvin Allen at the Hotel Monteleone named his creation after a little street a block away.
Bourbon Street Jump
Makes 1 cocktail
5 to 6 fresh tarragon leaves
¼ ounce fresh lemon juice
¼ ounce simple syrup
1 ¼ ounce Absolut New Orleans
Club soda
In a rocks glass, muddle together the tarragon, lemon juice and simple syrup to release the tarragon flavors. Fill glass with ice. Add Absolut New Orleans and a splash of club soda.
. . . . . . .
Michael Brewer said the best drink he has made with the vodka is the one now on the drink list at Commander's Palace, where John McCain recently enjoyed it.
New Old Fashioned
Makes 1 cocktail
1 ½ ounces Absolut New Orleans
½ ounce simple syrup
1 orange slice
1 maraschino cherry
1 lemon slice
Muddle orange, cherry, and lemon with the simple syrup in a rocks glass. Add ice and Absolut New Orleans. Stir and garnish with cracked black pepper.

IN SEARCH OF . . . "Back in the late '80s, the TP printed in their 'Annual Award Winning Recipes' a great dish titled artichoke and shrimp melee, " J.C. writes. "It was served over fettuccine tossed in grated cheese.
"This is what I remember about the recipe. The base is a mushroom soup with added cream and 1 tablespoon of crab boil, chopped artichoke hearts and, of course, ya gotta have dem shrimp! The recipe also called for other assorted great herbs and spices.
"I loved it! Is there a chance this can be located? I would really like to make it again for family and friends."
J.C., that recipe is not in the files here, but several readers have told me they saved the copies of the annual recipe tabloid. Here's hoping one of them can find it for you, and the rest of us.
. . . . . . .
TWO SORT-OF RECIPES: From River Ridge, M.M. writes, "Do you have a pre-Katrina recipe for
galletts ? I would like to have it, as I lost mine."
She described galletts as "sort of a fried biscuit, non-rising dough, old French thing."
Any clues, anyone?
Here's an equally mysterious (to me, at least) request, from R.L. of Lacombe. I finally decided he is not making this up just to yank my chain.
"Would appreciate it very much if you could locate a recipe for 'Erky Lerky, ' (not sure of spelling). I know it contained pasta, smoked sausage and ripe and green olives, etc." The recipe was in the TP many, many years ago, R.L. said. He bought the ingredients and made it numerous times at home.
"Once, while shopping in a Schwegmann's or Delchamps (this was a long time ago) I talked with some folks wearing 'Erky Lerky!!' T-shirts. Best I remember, it was some church group or club, but they were having 'Erky Lerky' nights!"
He couldn't make this up.
. . . . . . .
PULLED PORK SANDWICHES: M.S. of Gonzales, formerly of Chalmette, wanted this recipe. Special thanks to N.B., who found it for her.
North Carolina-style
pulled pork
Makes 8 to 10 servings
1 Boston butt or end-cut boneless pork roast, 5 to 7 pounds
Wood chips or chunks
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Soak hickory or other flavor wood chips in water for 30 minutes.
When coals are ready, place chips directly on charcoal briquettes or in the smoker box in a gas grill.
Season pork with salt and pepper. Place meat on the cooking grate so that heat from the coals is indirect. Cook slowly over low heat for 3 to 4 hours or until an instant-read meat thermometer registers 180 to 190 degrees. (If using gas, use indirect/medium heat.) When ready, the meat should be very tender and falling apart.
Note: Be sure to add coals each hour to keep the heat constant in a charcoal grill.
Pull meat from the skin, bones and fat. Chop finely or shred with two forks. Mix with enough sauce to moisten.
Serve on white buns and top with coleslaw that has been dressed with the barbecue sauce. Serve additional sauce on the side, if desired.
barbecue sauce
Makes about 3 cups
2 cups cider vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup ketchup
Mix all ingredients together and let sit for 10 minutes. Add to chopped barbecue when hot to season the meat and keep it from drying out.

I had this game recently and i decided to analyse it with chess.com computer analisys... but i am sure that what the analisys mark as a blunder, it's no at all a blunder
so here is the game
thanx Squarecat... yeah, my opponent moven the queen too much, i was expecting cxd there, not taking with the queen, maybe because i was many points lower than him, he played so agressive
I can't answer for the computer's analysis of your moves but whites blunders were many (more). This is a classic example of bringing the Queen out too early (white). Not only was she hounded but she also impeded the use of the other white pieces. At #16 rather than advance the d pawn (taking away the short castle) white makes another blunder with the Queen. Almost half of white's moves involved the King or Queen. That means unused white pieces and poor board development. Looks like some of my mistakes
