Back at school I used to envy all those talented and creative people in my Arts & Crafts class. They had something I did not … a special skill to create beautiful things with their hands. It took a long time till I found my own skill working with my hands. As my love for photography developed I realized this was that source of creativity I needed - it was so fulfilling and was so absolutely me.
With this blog came the passion for food photography and also styling. While I love the photography part, it's the styling that brings out the creativity and inspires me on many levels. It's like creating a painting; choosing colors, working with textures and adding highlights with light. It's my creative outlet and it makes me thrive.
I love the other aspects around styling. Looking for props, backgrounds and unique items. But what I really enjoy is actually designing or crafting props at home for that personal and individual touch to the pictures. Be it tags, hand-painted jars or colorful backgrounds, it all adds to give the set-up a little extra personal feeling.
When you get to know Sandy from the lovely blog Confiture de Vivre, one thing you will quickly realize is her pure passion to create beautiful things. She has a joie de vivre that is so infectious and she inspires that creativity one has stuck deep within. Every time I spend an afternoon with her I come back loaded with ideas and am bursting with creativity.
"I just have to work with my hands!" Sandy said to me one afternoon and that was what got the ball and the ideas rolling for this workshop.
We've crafted an absolutely brilliant workshop. Under the theme of South of France, this 2 day workshop will have its main focus on food photography and styling but it will also include many creative sessions on crafting and designing your props and setting.
The Food Styling, Photography and Design Workshop in Weimar, Germany is for all those of you who need the kick of creativity and inspiration. The gorgeous Manor Holzdorf nestled in the rolling hills just outside Weimar reflects a lot of German and European art and music of its era. The spacious rooms covered with Gobelin tapestry from the 19th Century and beautiful leather will further stimulate your inner artist during the 2 days.
We will be working a lot with our hands, learning the fundamentals of photography, using light to highlight your images, finding and selecting props for your set-up, composing the perfect shot, the rules of placement and angles. There will be many practical assignments, a lot of theory and plenty of creative sessions. It does not stop here though: you will learn how to craft and design your own props and backgrounds and you will master creating a perfect table setting using a variety of material and ideas. There will be cameras and tripods, vintage cutlery and gorgeous dinnerware, paint and paintbrushes, colorful washi tape and fabric, beautiful papeterie and stationary: we hope to sensitize your imagination and tickle your skills so you are equipped with the know-how to create beautiful images, blog posts, articles or your own personal masterpiece.
We will take you on a culinary tour around the South of France and are collaborating with local artisans in Weimar, Erfurt and Jena to provide our participants with amazing food and meals. A brunch in St. Tropez with tapenades, tartines and salads, or a dinner in Marseilles with the classic bouillabaisse or a delightful picnic in Provence with tarts, verrines flans and sandwiches - our meals will not only tantalize your tastebuds but they also serve as the basis of practical photography/styling assignments and crafting/designing sessions.
To make this workshop a success we've collaborated with some unbelievably generous and extremely helpful sponsors who will be providing props, food, material, papeterie, fabric, wines and so much more. So we are perfectly equipped for this workshop and are looking forward to welcoming you to Weimar. Please take a minute to browse the sponsor page and check out our lovely sponsors. Lots of great stuff here!
Are you ready to let the your creativity loose? If you are keen to join Sandy and me, here are the details of what the course covers, the costs and where you can register. The workshop is limited to only 12 participants and works on a first-come-first-serve basis. Presentations and main workshop language will be in English but both Sandy and I speak German fluently should it be required to explain details.

Published Abstracts from Research Projects
Fate of Rehabilitated, Vasectomized Buck Fawns Released on Ossabaw Island, Georgia
By: John W. Bowers and Daniel Forster
In 1992, a long-term study was initiated to validate the technique of estimating white-tailed deer age using tooth wear and replacement from known-aged deer. To this end, up to 16 buck fawns were obtained annually from permitted deer rehabilitators in Georgia for release into a closed and hunted population on Ossabaw Island, Georgia. Buck fawns were vasectomized to avoid genetic pollution, tagged with Monel ear and Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags, and released (hard-release) at 12-16 weeks of age. Suitability for release was determined by the rehabilitator and varied among individuals. From 1992-1994, forty-three (43) buck fawns were released with 8 being harvested within three months post-release, only one was recovered in the harvest at >1 year-old. To further evaluate short-term survival, 10 of 17 fawns were fitted with break-away radio collars equipped with a mortality switch in 1995. Signals were monitored once per week for mortality until the collar was recovered. Sixty percent (n=10) of radio-collared deer died within 3 weeks and 1 at 8 weeks post-release. Three fawns survived a minimum of 3 months post-release although one was legally harvested that same year. To date, a total of 60 fawns have been hard-released with only 2 being recovered as yearlings and none older than 1.5 years of age. These results indicate that rehabilitated buck fawns exhibit low survival under hard-release conditions into unfamiliar coastal environments.
Presented at the 25th Annual Meeting of the Southeast Deer Study Group, February 17-20, 2002, Mobile, AL.

Speaker John A. Boehner came before the mics on Thursday, and he made one thing clear: The sequester is here to stay until the White House gets serious about spending cuts.
"Sequestration is going to remain in effect until the president agrees to cuts and reforms that will allow us to remove it," the Ohio Republican said to reporters in his weekly news conference. "The president insisted on the sequester none of us wanted, none of us like it, there are smarter ways to cut spending. The House has moved twice over the last year and a half to replace the sequester, and we saw no action in the United States Senate.
Boehner's remarks came a day after GOP leadership made the startling decision to pull from the floor, mid-consideration, an appropriations bill funding transportation and housing programs. Boehner on Thursday morning reiterated the official party line, that the choice was because of scheduling concerns, not concerns that there weren't enough Republican votes to bring the measure over the finish line.

Yoooo, I'm digging an actual manly support.
is feral flare really OP? i mean all i seen is Yi soloing baron , gonna try it with jungle Nasus
I always thought Nocturne was actually a decent Jungler. Idk, since I haven't played much ranked recently.
wow getting diamonds in enemy team and gold in my team like 6 times in a row, and so much AFK and rage quitters

TSM VS C9 finals soon!
Don't know if this is the right place to ask,but does anyone has a spare Curse Voice beta key for me? Thanks.
Master Yi, Xin Zhao, Jarvan IV, Jax, Warwick, Nocturne, Udyr, Volibear, are ridiculously OP because of Feral Flare. They aren't even nerfing it. They're just increasing the cost of the item and making you kill 5 more big creeps. Then you can proceed to snowball and destroy everything once the wriggles turns into a FF. Only thing that'll change is making junglers stay in the jungle longer until they get the FF.
not sure about feral being OP but i dont like people soling baron at 20 mins
Angu- I mean Braum got revealed.
Disappointed that he's a support. Given that he has a gigantic shield, it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth because I wanted a top lane bruiser.

There is something familiar and likeable about narrator Michael Coon's voice, and he uses that quality to brighten the serious topic of estate planning. Edmund Fleming provides all the necessary information to make decisions on estate planning as he covers wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and more. The details in this handy audiobook will eliminate much of the confusion that can occur over this important and essential task.
Coon takes care to narrate Fleming's straightforward, practical tips and checklists in an equally precise tone, highlighting the importance of planning ahead while individuals are still young and healthy.
The complexities of planning and administering an estate are clearly explained in this up-to-date and authoritative guide. From wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives to probate and administering an estate, it's all here in plain English.

"May be tough for the non-expert"
For a person wanting a solid grounding in the basics and the basic documents, I would suggest trying the NOLO book here at audible, which is clear and understandable. This one is a bit more advanced, and touches on a lot of topics that people with smaller estates or simpler situations will not find necessary to learn. I like this, but I'm an incessant legal self-educator. Again, as these books remind us, none of these books should be mistaken for an actual consultation with an attorney about one's particular situation. But the NOLO book will do the most (of any audios I've seen yet) to make a typical person a smarter consumer.

Ian Orme is a professor in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology at Colorado State University, and his research focuses on the immune response to tuberculosis (TB) – a bacterial disease that most often infects the lungs. He's speaking at the American Society for Microbiology's Conference for Undergraduate Educators (ASMCUE).
In the U.S., TB seems like a thing of the past. Here, public health measures and medical care have all but wiped out the threat from this infection. But worldwide, the WHO says there were 9.2 million new TB cases in 2006 alone, and each person with TB infects an average of 10 to 15 people with the TB bacterium every year.
These are just some of the reasons Dr. Orme is delivering a talked titled "Tuberculosis: Why Now Is a Good Time to Leave the Planet" at ASMCUE. He admits leaving the planet isn't a practical suggestion, but he wants to raise awareness of the disease and he's not afraid to stir the pot a little. Orme and his group not only study the immune responses to TB bacteria, they're also following a number of different avenues for developing new vaccines and improving the existing vaccine, BCG (bacille Calmette-Guérin).
In this interview, I talked with Dr. Orme about his vaccine work, why he thinks latent TB bacteria aren't really latent, and how he sometimes feels like the wild-haired radical, cat-calling from the corner of the lecture hall.

No, though they are popular they aren't "pop culture". If the zombie design was referencing the "Left 4 Dead" game or "Shawn of the Dead" (which is awesome), then it would be pop culture. The idea of zombies has been around for hundreds of years, so it's not the same as a movie or game...ect. Hope that clears it up for you

Slip them on and see how quickly the spotlight finds you.
All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. View Gemstone Enhancements and Special Care Requirements for important information.
Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Chrome Diopside:
Chrome diopside, also called Russian diopside, offers an intense forest green color. Because it is the most affordable gemstone with a pure, rich green color, many jewelry designers predict chrome diopside will be the world's leading emerald substitute by the end of the decade. It is mostly available in smaller sizes, with the rare larger sizes becoming much more expensive and too dark. A 26.17ct oval cut chrome diopside may be the largest known example of the faceted stone, but there is also a 25.33ct stone that is brighter and more intense in color.
Chrome diopside is relatively soft, with a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs Scale. Mostly mined in Yakutia and Siberia, the liberalization of the former Soviet Union's economy has made chrome diopside more available, and more popular, than ever before.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.

Heya folks!
Well, patience sure does pay off, when it comes to quality stuff by excellent artists in this group!
I finally received my shipment from Bobamaker today!
Among other items in this shipment, it included my BM Helmet and my Weathered ESB Flightsuit!
It's like Christmas in May at my house today!
I've compiled some pictures to document the shipment!
As you will see, from the pictures, DAZ does fantastic work! And his efforts are not only reflected in his attention to detail in his products, but also in his meticulous, and timely, shipping! The packing of my stuff was incredibly efficient, packing the flightsuit into the helmet, separated by a layer of bubble wrap! (Other people may have just stuffed it in, thinking it was padding enough inside the helmet).
And folks... do not be put off by the wait times for these items! He more than makes up for it with his speedy delivery... when his site says 3 Day shipping... you have it in 3 DAYS! (I live in Canada and he lives in the UK... impressive! MOST impressive)
Hope you all enjoy!

Kode Wrote:Designers wanted!!
Ok, some of you may have followed the old clearlogos thread and know I'd been waiting a while to make this site, waiting for Sranshaft to do some designs for me, they never materialised and he's never on my IM to bug about it, so in the end I just jumped in myself, looked at some sites I liked, borrowed some ideas from here and there (thanks trakt.tv ;P) used a similar colour scheme to PhoneShop and arrived at where we are now.
However, I'm a developer, not a designer, trying to design as well as develop is really slowing down progress, and it's starting to show, the header section is getting cluttered and things aren't flowing as well as they should/could.
So this is a callout to any talented designers out there that might want to get involved.
Find a part of the site that could be done better, come up with some cool ideas, send me a PM with a mockup and your IM details (I can do, in order of preference, gtalk / msn / facebook chat), if you can't do IM still feel free to PM me, but i'd prefer people I can speak to over IM as email/PM is just too slow and disjointed.

Every so often, a politician will promise to tear up the tax code and create a tax return that's simple enough to fit on a postcard.
Until that glorious day, we're left to wade through hundreds of tax forms during tax season, from the most basic individual type (Form 1040EZ) to estate returns (Form 706) to first-time homebuyer credits (Form 886-H-FTBC) and on and on.
Although many filers with simple returns can do it on their own, others seek out an expert to help them sort through the paperwork. And if you're in that second group, finding a preparer can be a tricky exercise, but it doesn't have to be a hopeless one.
Who is a tax preparer?
You could pay your nephew or random neighbor $20 to fill out forms. But remember, you are ultimately responsible for the filing and any errors it might contain.
In recent years, the Internal Revenue Service has tried to tighten regulation of third-party tax help, but a Jan. 18 federal court decision thwarted that, saying that the IRS can't regulate tax preparers as proposed in its Return Preparer Initiative.
The decision disappointed many tax professionals, including Mike Blackburn, an attorney, CPA and faculty supervisor of the University of Utah Low Income Taxpayer Clinic.
"Prior to the IRS case, anybody who had money to go to Costco to buy TurboTax called themselves a qualified tax preparer," Blackburn said. "Some of those people were totally unqualified and a lot of really bad tax returns were filed."
Blackburn said he supports more regulation of the industry.
"It's not to support market share; it's just to make sure that any (preparer) has a minimum level of competency," he said. "That improves the industry for all of us."
Make smart choices
Although the IRS plans to appeal the court decision, its website offers this advice: "If you choose to have someone other than yourself prepare your tax return, choose that preparer wisely."
Most paid tax preparers fall into three categories: tax attorneys, certified public accountants (CPAs) and enrolled agents. Most are individuals who pass an extensive three-part exam administered by the IRS, are required to take continuing education classes and are reviewed every three years.
As you weigh the options, here are a few tips for finding the paid tax preparer that's right for you:
Assess your needs • First, see if you can do it yourself. Often, though, a major life change means a more complicated tax picture, said Terry Marti, an enrolled agent in the Cottonwood Heights office of H&R Block.
"Anytime something changes in your life you get married or have a child or retire or buy and sell property that's when you may want some help," she said.
Do some homework • The law requires paid tax preparers to register with the IRS and obtain a preparer tax identification number (PTIN). This requirement is not affected by the recent court ruling.
Marti advises finding someone with a year-round presence because tax questions from the IRS can crop up anytime.
And if a sales pitch sounds too good to be true, it probably is, said Gail Anger, a longtime CPA with Professional Business Advisors in Bountiful.
"If someone guarantees a refund, that's a dead-set thing to be wary of," he said.
Using a licensed professional, such as an attorney or CPA, can offer an added layer of security, said Michelle McGaughey, CEO of the Utah Association of Certified Public Accountants. She said licensed professionals are held to a higher set of standards, which helps protect consumers.
"A dozen times a year, I'll talk to someone who says they went to a non-accountant and their taxes were botched and asked, 'What can I do?' If you hire a CPA and they blow it, you can go to state board of accountancy, which has authority to admonish or sanction that CPA," McGaughey said.
To check on a CPA's credentials, visit www.uacpa.org or call (801) 466-8022.
To check out an attorney, contact the Utah State Bar at (801) 533-9077 or email email@example.com.
To verify a preparer's PTIN with the IRS, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (313) 234-1280. Have your full name and address ready to share.
Look at your budget • Many tax preparers charge by the form, so a simple filing can be as low as $50. But according to a recent survey by the National Society of Accountants, the national average cost for an itemized Form 1040 with Schedule A and a state tax return was $246.
Ask around • Finally, Anger, the CPA who's been in private practice for the past 23 years, recommends asking your friends, neighbors and business associates who does their taxes.
"Most of our clients are referrals," he said. "We get a lot of clientele by word of mouth. Ask the people you know who they work with and what works."

Have questions? Call (800) 515-1214 to speak to a cancer information specialist.
Every skin cancer patient is different. The cancer experts at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) have extensive experience in properly staging and diagnosing the disease, and developing a treatment plan that's tailored to your specific type of skin cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, basal cell carcinomas are the most common type of skin cancer, and approximately eight out of every 10 non-melanoma skin cancers will be basal cell carcinoma. These cancers develop within the basal cell layer of the skin - the lowest part of the epidermis.
This type of skin cancer tends to occur in areas of the skin that receive the most exposure to the sun, like the head and neck. Basal cell cancers usually grow slowly, and it is rare for them to spread, or metastasize, to nearby lymph nodes or even more distant parts of the body. However, this can occur if the cancer is left untreated, so early detection and treatment is important.
Basal cell cancers can also recur in the same place that the original cancer was found. Patients who have had basal cell carcinoma once have an increased risk of developing a new basal cell cancer elsewhere. Potentially as many as 50 percent of these patients will develop a new basal cell carcinoma within five years of the first diagnosis.
We understand you may be feeling overwhelmed with questions and concerns about your type of cancer and what it all means. We're here to help guide you through the process.

Get the Recipe
Fish can be one of the most feared things to throw on the grill. It's notoriously difficult to manage over a hot fire, easily sticking to the grates, flaking apart, or becoming overdone. At the same time, a perfectly grilled piece of seafood can be a glorious thing—light and fresh, relishing in its delicious simplicity. Every backyard griller can get it right with a few pointers.
How to Choose the Fish
There's no wrong or right answer here. The grill has ways of handling everything from delicate fillets, to giant steaks, and even whole fish. That being said, going through how to handle every type and cut would most likely try our collective patience, so for the sake of this post, we'll be dealing with fish best suited to throw over the flames with little more than oil, salt, and pepper, no special tools or procedures required.
When choosing a fish for grilling, you first want to consider how hearty it is—how well can it stand up to the torture of a live fire. Flaky or delicate fish like flounder or sole won't cut it here. You want thicker fillets or steaks of more sturdy contenders such as:
- halibut
- tuna
- swordfish
- haddock
- salmon
- mahi-mahi
- grouper
These will have the integrity to hold up to fire and the ever tricky process of flipping.
Armed with a thick-cut slab of seafood, there's really no more needed in terms of food prep than a liberal coating of oil, salt, and pepper. All the work to make that fish great is in the grill.
A Clean Grill Makes a Happy Fish
How can you avoid the fish from sticking? I've grilled a fair amount of fish at this point and still get hung up with a sticker every once in a while. The most frustrating part is it's never something you can blame on the seafood. Usually it comes down to not properly prepping the grill, which is paramount to success here.
First, the grill needs to be cleaned. The best to do this is to cover the grill right when the coals have all lit and the fire is at its hottest. Five minutes of this heat will then make it incredibly simple to brush away any residual nastiness left on the grill grate using a good grill brush.
Equally important: oiling the grates after, best done using a cloth or paper towel dunked into some vegetable or olive oil and then whipped over the searing hot grates.
Failure to do one or both of these things are reasons for later trip-ups when it comes to actually grilling, but with both done, the fish is now ready to be thrown over that medium-hot fire.
Flip It
So the fish has been going and you can see the bottom starting to go from translucent to opaque, indicating it may be time for the dreaded flip. A clean and oiled grate paired with an oiled fish should provide proper insurance against total stickage, but there's a couple more important factors when it comes to a successful flip execution.
First, you need the right tool. A wide spatula with a thin, tapered edge, like this one from Weber, does the job nicely by first being able to slide easily under the fish and also large enough to support the whole filet while you flip it. To make your life even easier, pair it with a flexible turner which can help hold the fish in place while the larger spatula is slide underneath.
While attempting the turn, if you feel too much resistance, just stop and walk away. If you've properly cleaned and oiled the grate, the fish will let you know when it's ready to turn by releasing itself from the grate. A spatula will help undo some light sticking, but if you feel like you're doing more harm than good in attempting the turn, it may be the fish just needs a minute or two more to finish up on that side.
Almost Done!
With the fish flipped, you should feel a great sense of pride in achieving that noble grilling feat, but don't bask in the glory too long, as it will all be for naught if that fish goes overdone and starts to dry out.
Unlike with other meats, where I rely entirely on a trusty instant read thermometer to test for doneness, fish I tend to take the visual route. The goal here is to pull the fish right before it finishes cooking (unless you're purposely under-cooking like in the case of tuna or salmon)—allowing it to fully cook with carryover during a rest off the grill—and it's not too hard to tell.
When the fish cooks through, it both starts to flake and becomes opaque, so to test for doneness, take a fork and gently pull back a flaky section in the center. If the fish is opaque with just a bit of translucent center, it's ready to come off.
You can still go the thermometer route, which is admittedly more failsafe and maybe I should consider switching my ways. When using an instant read thermometer, the fish should be pulled when it registers between 130-135°F, letting it carryover to 140°F while it rests.
Again, apply the same delicate care with the spatulas when removing the fish to preserve all the skillful work put in thus far.
You Are a Fish-Grilling Master
Step back, give yourself a pat on the back, and relish in those fish grilling skills. Fresh fish with a nice sear and a faint smokiness is a prideful thing, and ready to serve as is. A squirt of lemon juice livens it up a bit, but for seafood aficionados, that's about all you need.
For someone, like myself, who isn't entirely into seafood in its more natural state, there's some great options for topping those beautiful filets. A little pesto adds a nice Italian flare, try fresh Sriracha for a garlicy heat, or a grilled pineapple salsa for a fruity touch. Some other nice accompaniments to consider: romesco, chimichurri, gremolata, cilantro pesto, or black olive tapenade
No matter how you serve it, fresh fish on the grill on is an excellent thing. Hopefully this guide has dispelled any fish-fears, and you're on your way to becoming a masterful seafood griller.

GunnersGaming by Betsson, Arsenal's Official Betting Partner, gives us the rundown on some of the markets on offer ahead of Sunday's clash with Tottenham Hotspur...
The Gunners make the short journey to Spurs on Sunday afternoon for the first North London derby of the season. With Spurs unbeaten in September and the Gunners on a three-game winning streak, something could give at White Hart Lane.
As both sides' transfer window signings have settled in well, with ex-Gunner Adebayor likely to play some part in the game, Sunday's clash has the hallmarks to be another classic derby. Given home advantage and with Spurs recent 4–0 win over Liverpool at the Lane, GunnersGaming has Spurs as slight favorites at 6/5.
Arsenal represent good value at 12/5 if they can continue to show the confidence that was evident in the second half against Bolton last weekend. The draw might look like the safe bet at 9/4 - but would you take a point from a Spurs game?
With 11 goals in the two Premier League meetings last season, one has come to expect goals in this fixture. A repeat of arguably the match of the season last year, the 3–3 draw, would give a return of £440 from a £10 stake with odds of 44/1 for the correct score.
If you're new to GunnersGaming.com, enjoy three risk-free bets to start and collect your £200 free casino voucher when opening an account.
Remember any bet placed prior to midnight on October 2 goes into the draw to win eight matchday tickets in the Betsson box for the game against Sunderland on October 16 at the Emirates. Good luck!

Young forward Gilles Sunu has joined French Ligue 1 side Lorient on loan until the end of the season.
Frenchman Sunu, who signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal in March, played an integral part in the Club's FA Youth Cup and Academy 'double' winning side in 2009, scoring vital goals during the victorious run.
19 year-old Gilles, who has been a regular in the Reserves this season, scoring two goals from his eight appearances, also made the step-up to first team football last season. He made his debut in the Carling Cup Third Round victory over West Bromwich Albion, being named in the starting line-up. His other Arsenal first team appearance came in the UEFA Champions League, when he came on as a substitute in the match against Olympiacos in Athens in December 2009.
From February 2010 until the end of last season, Sunu gained some vital experience during a loan spell with Championship side Derby County. During his time with The Rams, the young forward made nine appearances, scoring one goal.
At Lorient, Sunu joins his Arsenal team mate Francis Coquelin, who is also on loan with the Ligue 1 side for the rest of the season.
Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes Gilles the best of luck during his time with Lorient.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Georgia's Colonial Coast Birding Trail
Welcome to the Colonial Coast Birding Trail
Coastal Georgia is steeped in human and natural history. Since the first human inhabitants colonized the coast, man and the abundant natural resources found here have been inexorably linked. A visit to one or more sites along the Colonial Coast Birding Trail will provide you with the opportunity to see and enjoy the beauty of a kaleidoscope of birds and glimpse the fascinating history of this land and its residents.
More than 300 species of birds (75 percent of the total species of birds seen in Georgia) have been spotted at the 18 sites along the birding trail. Don't expect to see most of these birds on a single visit. The birds you see will depend greatly on when and where you visit. Some birds can be seen throughout the year. Others are migratory and travel long distances from their breeding grounds to wintering areas.
If you want to see migrants, you need look for them during those times of the year when they visit Georgia. You will also find a wide variety of habitats along the trail. Shorelines, salt marshes, old rice fields, woodlands, tidal rivers, freshwater wetlands and other habitats host their own fascinating bird communities.
Each site along the Colonial Coast Birding Trail is unique. Many sites offer visitors the opportunity to watch birds and visit 18th and 19th Century historic places. Other sites are located on lands and waters that were once part of early plantations dedicated to growing rice, indigo and cotton. So whether you want to see a bald eagle soaring over a coastal river, an endangered wood stork feeding its gawky young, sanderlings chasing the waves on a sandy beach, or a great egret standing motionless in a placid pond, the Colonial Coast Birding Trail has something for you.
The numbers of birds found along the trail change with the rising and falling of the tides and with the passage of the seasons. Consequently, each visit offers the chance to experience a new wildlife adventure. Spend some time along the Colonial Coast Birding Trail and learn why the Creek Indians called the Georgia coast The Enchanted Land.

Wayne Law Moot Court celebrates outstanding performance in regional competition
Pictured above from left to right: Adam Clements,
PHOTO RELEASE (Dec. 9, 2010) – Wayne State University Law School congratulates its two national Moot Court teams, third-year students Adam Clements, Jessica Lange and Kathryn Tignanelli, and Carol Bagdady, Andrew Beck and Kenneth Koshorek, on their impressive performance in the regional round of the New York City Bar National Moot Court Competition held at the University of Toledo College of Law Nov. 20-21.
The regional competition, which tested the participants' skills in both oral advocacy and legal writing, focused on issues based on a fictional municipal healthcare ordinance. The problem posed questions involving the proper legal standard for a preliminary injunction, and the preemption of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The team of Clements, Lange and Tignanelli was undefeated in the preliminary rounds, where 15 teams were represented. They defeated the University of Akron School of Law in the quarterfinals before falling to Case Western Reserve University School of Law by less than one-half of a point in the semifinals.
The team's brief, written by Tignanelli, won second place in the competition.
"This experience provided an outstanding opportunity to represent the excellent education received at Wayne Law," Lange said.

Care and awareness about the environment are principles the University of St. Thomas faculty impart on students and the Houston community. Salt + Light Television, in partnership with the UST Environmental Science and Studies Department, addresses why it is essential to care about the environment in a new six-part documentary series titled "Creation…and God saw that it was good." The first 30-minute episode will feature numerous UST faculty members including Sister Damien Marie Savino, FSE, assistant professor and chair of ESS.
"This episode focuses on the idea that awe and wonder are the foundation for environmental stewardship and for cultivating a wholesome relationship with creation," Sister Damien Marie said. "We talk in the film about learning the 'language of creation' as a Franciscan approach to environmental stewardship."
The Rev. Ted Baenziger, CSB, assistant professor of French literature and civilization, will speak on his work with orchids. Dr. James Clarage, physics chair, will speak on his work with protein structures. Dr. Ann Fairbanks, professor of music, will speak on music and creation. Dr. Albert Ribes-Zamora, assistant professor of biology, will speak on developmental biology and evolution. Sister Damien Marie will speak on ecology and faith.
Also, students Andrew Hite and Celine Simmons, who are joint majors in environmental studies and communication, assisted with the filming and interview transcriptions as part of their internship course for their degrees. The UST campus and Galveston-Houston area are featured in the film.
"The collaboration between the Environmental Science and Studies Department and Salt + Light has benefitted and will continue to benefit UST in a number of ways," Sister Damien Marie said. "The episode could be used for educational purposes in both science and theology classes and in synthesis courses for the core. UST has desired a collaboration with Salt + Light, and this is a concrete step toward it."
The TV premiere is at 8 p.m. and 12 a.m. CDT on Dec. 2. The program will repeat at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. CDT on Dec. 5. To view the program, go to SaltAndLightTV.org and click on the "Watch Live" link when the program airs.

Acting Laboratory Chief – Resnick
With Dr. Paul Costa's departure, Dr. Susan Resnick, Ph.D. has agreed to serve as Acting Laboratory Chief. Dr. Resnick received her Ph.D. in Differential Psychology and Behavioral Genetics from the University of Minnesota and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Neuropsychology and Neuroimaging at the University of Pennsylvania. She was a Research Assistant Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania prior to joining the Laboratory of Personality and Cognition, NIA in 1992. She studies brain-behavior associations in health and disease and is the principal investigator of the brain imaging component of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA).
Marcelle Morrison-Bogorad, Ph.D., Director of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Division of Neuroscience for the past fourteen years will be retiring at the end of the current calendar year. Dr. Morrison-Bogorad earned a Ph.D. at Glasgow University in Scotland, and then went to Cincinnati to do a post-doctoral fellowship. From there she joined the faculty at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, where she became Professor of Neurology. When she joined the Institute in 1997, she brought a special interest in aging and Alzheimer's disease, as well as a rich background in brain research. Her talents, wisdom, advice, willingness to tackle the seemingly intractable to her staff and her forthright candor have been an asset to the Division and the Institute at large. During her tenure, she has accomplished much for the Division's dual mission of research into both Alzheimer's disease and aging. With her guidance, the Division embarked upon a number of key undertakings including the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging and Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Initiatives, the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center, and along with NIMH and NINDS, the Cognitive and Emotional Health Project: The Healthy Brain. She will be sorely missed in 2011 and for years to come. She leaves, not only NIA but this country, to take up residence on a mountaintop in Costa Rica, S.A.

I'm assuming that you are asking how to do it in Mathematica, not
the pencil and paper method.
There is a function called Series. I haven't looked into it very much,
but, from the examples in the book, it allows negative integer powers of x.
I wrote a function for Talyor polynomials:
taylor[func_,a_,n_] = Sum[ D[(func[x],{x,i}]/. x->a)/(i!)*(x-a)^i,{i,0,n}]
(* This is the standard formula found in books *)
This has some drawbacks. First, x cannot be defined prior to calling
taylor. Second, it does not tell you what the general term of the taylor
series is, though you can certainly call talyor[f,0,20] and try to see
the pattern.

Sophos is a free Anti-Virus solution for Mac computers.
The time has come. Mac users should really start joining the bandwagon and begin arming their computers with some kind of security against malicious threats online. Mac computers are gaining popularity at a stunning rate; going from mid single digits up to 23% as Apple CEO, Tim Cook explained at the iPhone 4S keynote. Here at ModMyi, we've reported on three consecutive trojan horse infections for Mac OS X. The first being Flashback.C, which was a trojan horse created to disable your Apple Anti-Malware defense system. This system is updated automatically by Apple every once in a while to provide to you malware protection on your Mac. Flashback.C was easily installed by accidentally installing a fake Adobe Flash player. It would then try to install more malware on your computer; the trojan would force quit the installation if you had LittleSnitch firewall installed. The only way it could be installed was if the user entered their administrator password. The second threat was OSX/Tsnunami.A (Troj/Kaiten), which was a trojan horse that could turn your Mac into a Web Site killing machine by having a remote control user send commands to the malware over IRC to send DDoS attacks to a specified address. It also attempts to install more malware on your computer after installed. Like the previous trojan, it could only be installed if the user entered the administrator password. Finally we reported on OSX/Miner-D (DevilRobber), this trojan horse was the worst of them all as it eats up your GPU and CPU performance to a sluggish crawl in order to make and steal Bitcoins. At the same time it key-logs your usernames and passwords and opens backdoors into your computer for more malware to be installed. This trojan could be contracted from downloading certain things via BitTorrent. Like the others, it could only be installed by entering your administrator password. But, it could do some serious damage to your machine by making it over-heat and over-process constantly.
All of these trojans are recent. It seems like a new one is being set free every week. So why not take a moment to download a very good Anti-Virus program known as Sophos Anti-Virus? The program offers a very light-weight solution to protection. It doesn't eat up a lot of processing power and uses very little memory at that. The program is also very good looking, just like you would expect a Mac program to look. It comes with a variety of settings that you can choose to monitor your computer for infections. Scan time varies between two to four hours – but the scans are deep and thorough and will find almost anything. Aside from Intego, I would say that Sophos is one of the best security experts available for the Mac. They don't slack off with their information and they are often cited on the release of new Mac threats.
Sophos Anti-Virus has an incredibly easy interface. All you need to do is let it know when to scan. The two round buttons are the main functions for scanning. The one that looks like a play button is the one that starts the scan, while the one with a pencil on it opens up the Sophos Anti-Virus settings. The quarantine manager is the vault where Sophos Anti-Virus keeps all of the infections that it finds. In the vault, they cannot harm your system as they are locked away with Sophos' advanced security.
Sophos Anti-Virus, while simple, comes complete with some useful settings. When installed, the default protection method will log the threat. I recommend changing that to clean up threat so that Sophos Anti-Virus can remove it from your system. The second option means that if Sophos cannot remove the problem, it will just delete the entire problem altogether so that it cannot persist. In the second tab, labeled, "On-Access Scanning" you can choose which folders are scanned and which ones are not. By default, everything and anything is scanned. The third tab, labeled, "AutoUpdate" is pretty self-explanatory. You can set how often the system updates itself. By default it checks with Sophos' servers every hour to check. The fourth tab, labeled, "Logging" gives you the option to change where your infection logs are stored. The last tab is, "Messaging" which allows you to set up custom alerts for actions. For example if an error occurs, you can make a custom message like, "Sophos F41L3D D00D." (Not that it ever would.)
Sophos Anti-Virus also puts a nice menu bar icon in your menu bar. It's black and white and pretty attractive if you're avid about keeping your icons looking Apple-like and hate having colored icons like Skype and DropBox. Clicking on the menu bar icon brings down a menu that let's you manually being an update to your definitions, open the Scanner or Preferences window, or even begin a custom scan. When Sophos Anti-Virus is updating, the icon becomes gray and the dotted part pulses in a descending motion.
Sophos Anti-Virus is free and can be downloaded here. It's Mac OS X Lion compatible as well as backwards compatible with other versions of Mac OS X. It has excellent reviews from well-known sites such as CNET and Cult of Mac which can be read here. The best part is that Sophos offers support for anyone who uses their software for free.
Writer's rating: / 4.5/5

Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on December 12, 2011
With CES 2012 a month away, it's a good time to look ahead at what's next for consumer technology product strategy. All eyes have been on tablets: Apple sold 40 million iPads in just 18 months, with 11 million sold in this past quarter alone. With the Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet finding their own successful markets, it's easy to see why tablets attract so much attention and excitement. But computing evolution doesn't end here—tablets, while still growing rapidly, are not the final form factor. We've identified these five form factors as the best candidates for what comes next, which we describe in more detail in a new report for clients:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thank you!
Now thats what I was wanting to hear about! Yes it will be a planned trip when the someday finally comes along! There are 2 C30s and a Erikson 32 the club here and they have all come from new england when purchased by the owners. they are the ones that say "just go"
Fair winds!
|That's her on the left in the photo. Great boat handler & sailor too!
|Oh yeah - I forgot to say. New Jersey is great sailing. My first date with my wife in 1978 was a night sail out of OC; it must be good sailing because she married me. The wind in summer is 10-15 from the south mostly. There's lots to look at from a few miles offshore and every harbor is a resort, so there's lots to do and eat.
First - do the trip.
Second - Prepare for it and you'll be fine.
Third - The Oday 30 if well maintained, is fine for the trip.
Fourth - Have recent charts for every inch of the transit.
Fifth - Be in by 1500 to avoid t'storms (but not as common as in the Chesapeake)
Now for specifics.
I grew up in Ocean City, NJ and sailed my father's Catalina 30 from OC to Newport, RI with two friends when I was 20. I've also done the OC to Annapolis trip several times (we're on the Bay now). We went directly from OC to Block Island deadrecon-ing (it was 1978 and we didn't even have Loran). For purposes of the thread, I won't recommend this route and will stress that for a new cruiser, I'd only go in summer when weather is mostly fair. Assuming that you want to stop at night, I'll give you our return itinerary. From Cape May, your only real option is to stay about 5 miles offshore until you get to OC or head another 5 miles to Atlantic City. There is nothing in between that's safe (except maybe Townsend's Inlet). OC's inlet (Great Egg Harbor) can get bad in bad weather, but on a good day, is easily navigated (my brother-in-law does it weekly in his CD-25D). AC is a much easier entrance, but the slips are pricey from what I hear.
From AC, you can make a long day's run to Manasquan. It's a small harbor but holding is good. I've not been into Barnegat, but it's entrance can be bad. As with OC, Bernegat has quite a bit of local traffic so it's manageable in good weather with local knowledge.
Frome Manasquan, it gets tricker. You can go all the way through NYC to Manhasset Bay where you will definitely be one of the smaller boats, but it's fun if a bit pricey. In NY harbor, keep a keen eye for all sorts of traffic. Not difficult, but follow the rules of the road, stay out of the way, and definitely get a tide chart for the East River (can run ~3kts).
From Manhasset Bay, you have lots of options on the LI Sound. Decide how long you want to transit and pick a stopping point from your Coast Pilot (get one) or Chartbook. We stopped in New Haven and New London. Beware of of the "Race" which is roughly between Montauk Pt and New London. LI Sound narrows at at the Race and if you have a falling tide and an East wind the water can get BIG. An anecdote: we transited westbound in 20 kts going downwind with no reef in 8' seas at 12+kts. We broached, gybed, blew the goosneck apart and tore the main 4' up the luff. I learned to sew that day. If the weather is up, stay in port or I think tha you can go behind Fishers Island but will defer to anyone who has local knowledge.
Go to Block Island. It was magical. I hope that it hasn't changed, I haven't been back but want to.... VERY cool place. You'll anchor in the Great Salt Pond. Have a motor or strong arms. Not sure if there is a marina with slips. There wasn't when I was there.
Newport is a must-stop. Annapolis of the north. Try for reservations before arriving at a mooring or in a marina. Otherwise, it can get real crowded. Newport is a far north as I've been so I have nothing further to offer.
Good luck, it's a great trip and very feasible. Out and back took us two weeks but we were rushing and did some very long days.
Ummm... I was hoping to hear more about the actual sail along the Jersey coast. Is it just a boring sail? is Atlantic city a good stop along the way?
I know that most of the inlets and bays are exstreamly shallow down that way (i've kayacked some of barnaget)
thanks all!
I would suggest getting a copy of the tidal current tables and tidal tables 1 2 and 3 to plan your trip. If you do not know how to use them I suggest learning before making the trip. The Tidal range and current velocities increase as you sail towards higher latitudes. Additionally I would recommend downloading The Coast Pilot Nos 2 & 3. Office of Coast Survey - United States Electronic Coast Pilot download
The Coast Pilots will tell you alot about what you need to know. It does help to know how to pilot a vessel. In fact I would not take an extended voyage without having someone on board who knows how to navigate WITHOUT a GPS.
Here is a good site to plan those tidal currents in the Delaware Bay an coast.
FishWeather.com - DE- Delmarva Wind Data
As you can see, the fastest tide currents are in the center shipping channel. Plenty of water to sail in less current outside of the channel.
I fish the Delaware Bay out of the Roosevelt Inlet in Lewes, DE. Yes it can get choppy if the wind picks up and is against the current. But most of my trips have been nice. I now have a Helms 25 now and plan to sail the bay many times this season. Take a look at the chart of the bay. There is a lot of deep water for great sailing. I would say the river section to where the bay opens up is you biggest concern with shoals, current, ship traffic etc.. Like anywhere else, plan your trip. Take a look at current, tide and wind. A stop over at Lewes might be a nice addition to your trip depending on the time you have. Its a nice town. You'll have to cross the bay to get to Cape May though, but a great 18 mile sail. At least your starting to plan your trip.
|Well, according to the Nor'Easter that is currently clobbering the New England area... winter ain't quite done yet.
|thanks guys... good advice and encouragement on all points.. Yes on the currents... the Delaware up here has 5-8 knots too. the big ships ply the channels up here too all the way to Trenton and they are big! But they don't scare me like the sportfishing boats do. (they don't try to head off a sailboat intentionally) Funny .. Delaware Bay is always the discussion. I looked at the charts and see how shallow it is but again everone here that's sailed it tells me it's not that bad, and you can tack across the bay and not run aground I dunno.. just what hear is all. Certainly it's not a bay to be dilly dalling on.. just get point a to b and back again. Lately I'm thinking about the Cape May jazz fest coming up soon. but geeze!! when will spring arrive???? LOL.

I have a 16' lowe aluminum boat, and have traditionally ran a 15 HP 4 stroke suzuki short shaft motor behind it. I am looking to sell my current motor, and then purchase a new mud motor asap. I am looking to pay around 3-3.5k on a motor, and want to get the most HP I can while also making sure the weight of the motor isn't too much for the boat. Do you have suggestions on long or hyper drive motors? Benefits you've personally experienced? I want to get at least a 23-30 HP engine if my boat can handle it. I hunt with friends who have both.
I have hunted waterfowl in deep water lakes my whole like, and this mud motor deal hasn't become a necessity until now. Any insight would be appreciate.
