According to tradition, for each holy day of a festival, Jews living outside of Israel celebrate two. So what happens then with the two holy days at the end of Sukkot — Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah — which seem to be separate holidays rather than duplicates of the same event.
"On the eighth day you shall hold a solemn gathering" Numbers 29.35.Growing up in America, I always knew about the concept of "yom tov sheni shel galuyot." According to this tradition, for each holy day of a festival, Jews living outside of Israel celebrate two. I always wondered, however, about Simchat Torah. On the other festival holy days (the first day of Sukkot, the first and last days of Passover and Shavuot) it was clear to me that the second day outside of Israel was basically a duplication of the first. But after the seven-day holiday of Sukkot (one holy day plus six festival days in Israel, or two holy days plus five days of festival outside the country), we Jews in the Diaspora celebrate Shemini Atzeret ("the eighth day of assembly") and Simchat Torah, on the eighth and ninth days, respectively. Unlike the other "second days," here seemed to be an example not of mere duplication but of a separate "second day" holiday — Simchat Torah. What then, I wondered, went on in Israel? If Israelis did not have two holy days at the end of Sukkot, when did they celebrate both Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah?
Since I will be celebrating my seventeenth Simchat Torah in Israel this year, I think I have finally grasped what goes on. Believe it or not, the process took me a few years. For the ritually curious, all of the rites that are celebrated in the Diaspora over two days are packed into one day. The special prayer for rain, the Yizkor memorial prayer and the hakafot ("circuits") with the Torahs all occur on the day of Simchat Torah. For all intents and purposes, there is no Shemini Atzeret in Israel, only Simchat Torah.
It's true that the liturgy speaks not of "Simchat Torah" but of the "holiday of the eighth day of assembly." However, the central rite of the holiday — the completion of the Torah cycle with the reading of the end of Deuteronomy and the renewal of the cycle with the reading of the beginning of Genesis — carries the spirit of the day.
An interesting aspect of Simchat Torah is that it provides the only case where Israel alone repeats a major holiday rite. I am talking here about "hakafot shniyot," a second night of dancing with the Torah that has come into vogue throughout Israel. Hakafot shniyot takes place this year on Thursday, Sept. 26, the evening after Simchat Torah in Israel, a time that is technically weekday here. Because of this, the hakafot are accompanied by live music. Because children do not have school the next day, many people take off from work and join in the celebration. In Givat Ze'ev, the music is provided by a local professional keyboard player accompanied by other musicians — how many depends on the financial situation of the municipality and whether or not a mayoral election is approaching.
I have no idea what percentage of Israeli Jews celebrate Simchat Torah. As a religious person, it's nice to live in a country where my town government sponsors hakafot shniyot. Yet, as usual, I will likely be bothered to see that practically all of the people celebrating hakafot shniyot will be religious. There are religious and cultural reasons to dance with a Torah, and in the Jewish state's early decades, secular and religious Israelis danced together at hakafot shniyot. I look forward to a return to this tradition.

School All-Ivy Releases:

PRINCETON, N.J. -- The 2012 Ivy League football postseason awards mixed in a little of the old with a little of the new.
Fresh on the college gridiron this year, Dartmouth freshman quarterback Dalyn Williams (Corinth, Texas) made his impact known with a late-season surge that vaulted him to Ivy League Rookie of Year honors. He becomes the seventh Big Green player to be bestowed the award and the first since Josh Dooley took home the honor in 2002.
Williams' contributions were not necessarily overly superlative early in the season, but they were felt in a major way when Dartmouth needed it. Pressed into the starting role behind center in the seventh game of the season after sophomore Alex Park went down to injury, he took over the reigns with the leadership of a veteran, throwing for 160 yards and two touchdowns and running for 96 yards and a third score to lead the Big Green to victory over its colorful compadres from Ithaca. In three games as the starter, Williams threw for 684 yards on 52-of-82 passing and six touchdowns and ran for another 163 yards on 44 carries and two touchdowns. Just as impressively, he did not throw an interception over that stretch. His 82 pass attempts without an interception is the longest streak for a Big Green quarterback since Alex Jenny had 86 attempts without a pick between the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
Appearing in all 10 games, Williams was 73-of-114 for 974 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions as a passer and was the team's second-leading rusher with 262 yards on 89 carries and three touchdowns.
The Dartmouth rookie was not the only newbie to shine in his first season, as Princeton's two-way threat Anthony Gaffney (Columbus, N.J.) showed. Gaffney was the only freshman to be named first-team All-Ivy and the only player selected to the first team at two positions -- at defensive back and as a return specialist. In his first season wearing the black and orange, the Columbus, N.J., native had his statement game in just his third collegiate contest and his first-ever Ivy League matchup against Columbia. Gaffney took the opening kickoff 94 yards to hush the home crowd and put his visiting Tigers on the board just 51 seconds into the game. He followed that play with two more big plays -- two fourth-quarter interceptions -- to spark Princeton to its first road win since its 2009 season finale. Gaffney ended 2012 leading the League in kick return average at 25.9 yards per return, adding 35 tackles (26 solo), 2.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions and six pass break-ups as a starter in the Tigers' secondary.
Not to be outdone, the "old" of the Ancient Eight posted outstanding performances of their own, many final season of college football. Stalwarts like Brown senior defensive back AJ Cruz (Lake Forest, Calif.) and Penn senior defensive lineman Brandon Copeland (Sykeville, Md.) each received first-team All-Ivy accolades for the third time, becoming the 40th and 41st players in League history to achieve the feat.
Cruz, a unanimous selection in 2012 after being named to the first team in 2010 and 2011 and second team in 2009, was second in tackles for the Bears with 71, including tying for the team lead with 41 solo stops. He was tied for second in the conference in interceptions (4) and passes defended (1.0 per game). Copeland continued to be a beast up front for the Quakers with 8.5 tackles for loss among his 51 total tackles to go along with five sacks and two fumble recoveries.
Joining Cruz as unanimous first-team choices were Cornell senior wide receiver Luke Tasker (East Aurora, N.Y.) and senior offensive lineman J.C. Tretter (Akron, N.Y.), Harvard junior tight end Cameron Brate (Naperville, Ill.), senior linebacker Joshua Boyd (Hyde Park, Mass.) and senior H-back Kyle Juszczyk (Medina, Ohio) and Princeton senior defensive linemen and fellow New York natives Mike Catapano (Bayville, N.Y.) and Caraun Reid (Bronx, N.Y.).
A converted tight end, Tretter has anchored the left side of the Big Red offensive line at tackle, starting there the final 20 games of his career. He has been responsible for protecting the blind side of junior quarterback Jeff Mathews, a 2012 second-team All-Ivy selection and the 2011 Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, who has set numerous Cornell and Ivy League passing records. Tasker was Mathews' favorite target this season with a League-leading 75 catches and 1,207 yards.
Tasker's eight touchdown receptions tied Juszczyk for tops among Ivy receivers. Juszczyk is an All-America candidate once again this season after leading the team with 52 receptions for 706 yards and eight touchdowns. For his career, he set the mark for all Harvard tight ends with 125 catches for 1,576 yards and 22 touchdowns. Brate was the other half of the Crimson's lethal receiving tandem with 41 grabs and 592 yards and six touchdowns. Boyd, just named Harvard's 140th captain for the 2013 season, was all over the field for one of the nation's stingiest defenses with 67 tackles (30 solo), five tackles for loss, two sacks, five passes defended, six quarterback hurries, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
Reid joined Juszczyk as the only other first-teamer being honored for the second-straight year. He and Catapano were bookends forming a formidable Tiger front which combined for 81 tackles, 25 of them for lost yardage, 17.5 sacks, four quarterback hurries and four forced fumbles. Catapano recorded six passes defended on his own, while Reid was responsible for three blocked kicks and a safety.
Harvard totalled 10 players on the first team as the senior quintet of running back Treavor Scales (Stone Mountain, Ga.), quarterback Colton Chapple (Alpharetta, Ga.) offensive linemen John Collins (Hull, Mass.) and Jack Holuba (Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J.) and punter Jacob Dombrowski (Gaylor, Mich.), along with junior placekicker David Mothander (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.), all garnered first-team recognition for the first time in their careers.
Scales joined Cruz as the only two players to receive first- or second-team honors all four seasons as he was named to the second team each of his first three seasons. He capped an impressive career with his first 1,000-yard season (1,002 yards), also making him the only Ivy Leaguer to reach the milestone this season. For his career, he gained over 2,800 yards on the ground, 3,000 yards from scrimmage and scored 29 touchdowns -- the second-most rushing touchdowns in school history.
Chapple finished the season as the second-rated passer in the country. He set Harvard's single-season record for touchdown passes, totaling 24 to surpass the previous high-water mark of 18. He also set the school's single-season record for total offense (3,169 yards).
Collins, who started 20-straight games to close his career and Holuba, who started 18-straight, anchored the Crimson's offensive front that ended the season ranked fourth nationally in scoring offense with an Ivy-League record 39.4 points per game.
Dombroski and Mothander each led the League at their respective kicking expertise as Dombroski averaged 44.0 yards a punt with six touchbacks and Mothander was responsible for 70 points, including going 52-of-54 on PAT attempts.
Ivy League champion Penn put up the second-most first-team All-Ivy picks with five, followed by Brown and Dartmouth with four players each, Princeton with three (in four positions), Columbia and Cornell with two each and Yale with one.
The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) and the Ivy League are partnering for the third-consecutive year to co-host the presentation of the Asa S. Bushnell Cup on Monday, Dec. 3 at 12:30 p.m. as part of the festivities surrounding the NFF Annual Awards Dinner in New York City.
The Asa S. Bushnell Cup which honors the Ivy League Football Players of the Year, will be presented the day before the NFF Annual Awards Dinner, at a special reception and press conference in the Vanderbilt Room of the famed Waldorf=Astoria Hotel.
George Pyne, NFF Board Member and President of IMG Worldwide's Sports & Entertainment Group, will once again emcee the event, which will feature two offensive and two defensive finalists along with their respective head coaches. Ivy League Executive Director Robin Harris will be on hand to unveil the winners' names in front of a packed crowd of media representatives, NFF Board members and notable Ivy League football alumni and dignitaries.
The two offensive and two defensive finalists will be announced on Tuesday, Nov. 27 on IvyLeagueSports.com.

In 1999, the California Academic Partnership Program (CAPP)
established a special case study project to work with a small
number of "low-performing" high schools in California. The
goal of the CAPP Partnership Initiative (CPI) is to support
the schools in moving towards full implementation of the State
Mathematics and English Language Arts Standards, preparing
the students to pass the high school exit exam, and improving
overall college eligibility rates. CAPP's role is to facilitate
the integration of existing efforts with areas of need (as
identified by the school), provide resources to address those
needs, and document the work of the Partnership.
The CPI activities focus primarily on:
CAPP is providing up to five years of funding for the CPI
project. The following schools are involved in this CAPP Partnership
* The CPI work with these schools is a Districtwide collaboration.

Letting go of active addiction is the first step towards living a life based in reality and truth. The cessation of substances is not the end goal, having peace in one's life is. Coming to terms with the wreckage of addiction can be a daunting prospect. However, fully embracing the problems at hand and moving forward in sobriety towards a contentment never thought possible can be exhilarating process with the right help. Give yourself these opportunities and with a true commitment the problems of active addiction can be behind you one day at a time.

Design: Mummy
Fill: 600 fill down
Temperature Rating: 35 degrees Farenheight
Weight: 1.5 lbs
Price Paid: $170
I originally purchased this bag with the insulated-air core pad for the affordable savings in weight. For the money, there's no seeping-pad / bag combo out there that hits my sweet-spot for comfort, warmth, weight and price. The bag and pad together weigh under 3 lbs and I spent around $250. Used to be if you wanted something this light, you'd have to pay a mint for something potentially flaky. So for me, this is a bargain.
I love down bags, and the bag is lightweight and warm--so far down to 45f. I find the quality of the bag excellent too. It feels very sturdy, the material is very comfortable and the workmanship is top-notch. I love the way it mates with the the insulated air core pad, so it's hard to roll off of the mat.
There are always trade-offs, and for me, this combo hits the sweet spot of comfort, warmth, weight and price. For my money, nothing else compares.
I was really disappointed in this bag. I needed a…
Price Paid: $180
I was really disappointed in this bag. I needed a bag to use in temperatures from 30-50. I read all the reviews and narrowed it down to the Horse Thief 35 degree and the Marmot 40 degree bags. I purchased both bags so my wife would also have one.
At 40 deg my wife was cold all night which was surprising since she is a very warm sleeper. I tried the bag also at 40 degrees and was cold all night also.
I really like the bag design and roomy size but had to return it because it was not close to its rating. With the Marmot Atom 40 degree bag I slept comfortable at temperatures down to 33 and 30 degrees which was surprising for a 40 deg bag.
I really like this bag and the integrated Big Agnes…
Price Paid: $135
I really like this bag and the integrated Big Agnes pad system. It packs down super light and small and feels roomy enough for me and my big manly shoulders (I'm a tick under 6'0, a tick under 200 lbs., and I have the long version of this bag).
I don't think I've gotten close to pushing the 35 degree rating, because cold weather camping is for maniacs and insane people, so I'm withholding a star until I can confirm the rating.
In short, this is my go-to bag until further notice. I got a crazy good deal online, too (think it was a returned item or a second or something like that).
Not for me this. I spent three nights with the Horse…
Fill: down
Price Paid: GBP200
Not for me this.
I spent three nights with the Horse Thief and mummy sleep mat combo and didn't have a good night's sleep once.
There has been a lot said and written about the Big Agnes system, which in theory seems a winner. However, I found myself cocooned in the bag and any movement caused the whole thing, mat included, to tilt off the deck with me. It felt as if my legs were taped together.
I ended up removing the pad form the sleeve and reverting to a traditional bag on mat set up. It also made a right old racket each time I moved, with the noisy squeaking mat causing much mirth among my pals next door.
Unless you can sleep flat on your back, with your arms by your side without moving for six hours, this isn't for you. Their claims of it being like your mattress at home are just fanciful marketing spiel.
Thankfully the good people at Big Agnes have been very helpful and accepted the return. I will be reverting to bag and mat. In their defense, I may have been better suited to a non-mummy type bag, but I would still think long and hard about going for this new system.
Make sure you choose a model large enough that enables you to move on your axis without the whole thing moving with you. A shame, because the Big Agnes tent I bought with it is superb.
This is a nice comfortable bag. If you are larger…
Design: mummy
Fill: 725 down
Temperature Rating: 35 f
Price Paid: $112
This is a nice comfortable bag. If you are larger than 5' 10" and weigh more than 200 lbs. it may be too small for you. It was perfect for temperatures in the 50s so the 35 degree rating may be optimistic. Light and packs small.

Just 2 1/2 years old, Gabel was a passenger in a pickup truck driven by an aunt. She was in the process of making a turn on Suwannee Road in Old Town. The three-wheeler in the bed shifted, causing the truck to roll.
Little Alysia was tossed from the vehicle. The injuries were life threatening.
"She remembers the helicopter,"said her father, Shawn. "That's about all."

In the midst of Buffalo's spiral into new depths of futility, many fans are degenerating into zealots taking ultra-aggressive stances of protest. Boiling frustrations turn the idle opinions of a few into the angry mantras of many. Frankly, some of these exaggerated cries lack any common sense whatsoever. Take the Jason Woolley situation.

Hey, my name is Nick Gee, and I'm a musician (do everything really). I started off 8 years ago using FL Studios, and then switched in 2010 to Reason by Propellerhead.
I ended up getting frustrated by Windows a few weeks ago and installed Ubuntu, and then found out about Ubuntu Studio, so I just installed that last night.
I'm not sure how to do anything in it really. I want to be able to synthesize instrumental tracks using my computer keyboard as an input device, and also be able to record vocals onto it. I know you can connect the JACK thingy to the Ardour thingy and do stuff or whatever.
Not looking for anyone to fully explain these things to me, just if you know of any full tutorials of Ubuntu Studio, could you help me out?
Looking forward to being a member of this community, and seeing what everyone else is doing with it too!

Commuters in London are facing chaos on the way to work as RMT and TSSA unions strike against plans to close ticket offices and cut jobs, which Transport for London claim are essential to modernise.
FT reporter Bryce Elder found his local station, Ladbroke Grove, was closed when he had been expecting it to be open (photo left).
The last major strike was in 2007 and cost London an estimated £48m a day in lost productivity, according to the London Chamber of Commerce.
FT reporter Caroline Binham bumped into London Mayor Boris Johnson participating in the propaganda war at London Bridge station.
But aside from the politics about who is to blame, the challenge for most is simply to get to work.
And that is something which takes on a familiar pattern in the internet age: venting on Twitter. #tubestrike was choice more many this morning.

Elvin Bishop
Spotlight show • The 70-year-old guitarist with his signature Red Dog guitar (Gibson ES-345) went solo in 1968. Before that he was an integral member of the influential Paul Butterfield Blues Band and a player on the seminal 1969 album "The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper." These days, Bishop lives off the royalties from his 1970s hit "Fooled Around and Fell in Love." Directors Spike Lee, Paul Thomas Anderson and Rob Zombie are fans of the song, having used it in their movies. In a phone interview, Bishop said he performs only when he wants to, and that includes being a regular performer on blues cruises he just got off one with Taj Mahal. During the week, Bishop lives in the northern California countryside and preserves up to 400 cans of the fruit annually from his 40 fruit trees. "I grew up on a farm and I know what real food tastes like," he said. Bishop will bring a stellar six-piece band with him to Park City, including the former bandleader of the late bluesman Albert King's band.

Desert Noises
Spotlight show • Desert Noises joins Neon Trees, Imagine Dragons and The Used on the list of Utah County success stories. The alt-country ensemble, which will perform at Kilby Court, recently finished a two-year tour to promote its 2011 album "Mountain Sea." The band which has not yet been signed includes frontman Kyle Henderson, Tyler Osmond, Patrick Boyer and Brennan Allen. Henderson said he and his bandmates are planning another large-scale tour, one that will take them to Ohio in their new 12-passenger Chevy Express van. They also have a new EP, November's "I Won't See You." And during a recent Southern California sojourn, the band headlined at The Hotel Cafe, a Los Angeles hot spot. Despite all the recent recognition, the band's mantra is still "patience," Henderson said. "We want to lift each other up rather than push [each other] down." Hannah Georgas and The North Valley are also on the bill.
When • Saturday, Feb. 23, at 7 p.m.

Spotlight show • This Berkeley, Calif., metal band, launched in 1983, is still kicking with singer Chuck Billy leading the charge. The band released its 10th studio album, "Dark Roots of Earth," last summer. Best of all, "We haven't done a ballad in 15 years," Billy said in a recent telephone interview. The band has seen many lineups over the years, but the current incarnation features bass player Greg Christian, who returned in 2004 after being gone nearly a decade; lead guitarist Alex Skolnick, who initially left in 1993 but returned in 2005; and drummer Gene Hoglan, who played with the band in 1997 and rejoined in 2011. Guitarist and founding member Eric Peterson remains. "We're like brothers," Billy said. "We fight like brothers. We understand what we want and expect from one another." The band's longevity and consistency means its German record label, Nuclear Blast Records, doesn't try to push it to make new records every year. The last one was "The Formation of Damnation" in 2008. "We demo over and over," Billy said. "There's no throw-away or filler songs on the records. We try to put out 10 solid songs." Overkill, Flotsam and Jetsam, and Harm open.

Tweaks help D-backs' Chafin fan 10
Arizona's No. 19 prospect throws seven scoreless for Visalia
By Jake Seiner / Special to MLB.com | April 9, 2013 10:11 PM ET
Last season, Visalia pitcher Andrew Chafin learned a lot about the day-to-day business of being a Minor Leaguer. He started the year confident in his fastball and slider, and positive results followed.
But when his fastball command started to slip, issues compounded for the D-backs' No. 19 prospect. He leaned heavily on his slider, and hitters stopped offering at the pitch. The walks piled up, and by the end of the year, his ERA ballooned to 4.93.
Chafin suffered similar difficulties in his first start of 2013, but on Tuesday, the left-hander did what he couldn't last year -- adjust on the fly. The result -- seven dominant innings in Visalia's 3-0 win over Bakersfield.
Chafin (1-1) struck out 10 and allowed four hits and a walk. After giving up four earned runs in three innings in a loss on April 4, the rapid turnaround has shown off the 22-year-old's improving approach to the game.
"We worked on some stuff during my side day," he said. "When I was looking at film, I noticed I had some timing issues. I was a little overexcited the first day, too rambunctious, and I think that threw my timing out of whack."
Chafin also noted how similar the issues seemed to what plagued the Kent State product in 2012.
"I think it's mainly a mechanical issue more than anything," he said. "I've always had trouble with my timing and keeping everything under control. I'll get excited and I'll get to the plate faster than my arm sometimes. When I stay back and stay together, I'm able to throw my fastball where I want."
Chafin's future will depend on how well he can corral his command issues, as well as the development of his changeup. He used the pitch sparingly for much of 2012, but spent time developing the offering this spring and mixed in a few Tuesday.
"In Spring Training, I used (the changeup) quite a bit," he said. "I'm getting really comfortable throwing it. I think I even used it today in an 0-2 count and got a guy looking, buckled his knees a little. My confidence in it has improved a lot since last year."
Bakersfield's only baserunner in the first three innings was Juan Silverio, who reached first after a dropped third strike. Chafin struck out the side in the fifth and allowed just one man to reach safely in his final three innings of work. The shutout was Visalia's third this year in the hitter-friendly California League.
Chafin knows the league well. Arizona sent the 2011 first-round Draft pick (43rd overall) to Visalia at the start of 2012 -- an aggressive move for the college arm. He logged 122 1/3 innings with the Rawhide last season.
"Obviously, it's a hitters' league," he said. "After spending the year here last year, I know what I need to do to keep the home runs at bay, so to speak. I feel like I have a good approach toward everything this year.
"I'm getting a much better feel for my mechanics and my delivery to the plate. Tonight, I could make that pitch and could feel what I did wrong and correct it, make a quality pitch after that. I'm definitely maturing as far as that goes."

I missed the good old days for sure...... I remember every week Funk Flex would shout out the tunnel. Wasnt prodigy from Terrace ave? But i was definitely paying attention to graff since 97 and can say to me, things where much more crushed and dope back then. Foe went on the all city tour..crushing every parkinglot downtown...Derek was mutilating the LIRR..Shocn...Shit was dope and to me everyone in queens had dope style too.

Paul McDonald
Back in March they announced they were splitting up and now Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald have begun the legal process of divorce.
Earlier this week, the "Twilight Saga: New Moon" actress officially filed the paperwork with the court following a lengthy separation.
Their partnership went beyond marriage, but now Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald have decided to separate.
According to a rep for the "Twilight" star, "After much consideration, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald are ending their marriage. They have been living separately for the past six months due to work obligations."
Kicking off the week with a live performance, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald showed up at the Hotel Café in Hollywood last night (June 10).
The "Twilight Saga: New Moon" babe was in the house to support her "American Idol" alum hubby as he took the stage with The Grand Mags Band, and after the gig they scurried off to their car.
Treating themselves to a night on the town, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald attended the Rolling Stones concert on Friday (May 3) in Los Angeles.

Truth: I eat a lot of salads.
Falsehood: All salads are delicious.
Truth: Honey mustard is a wonderful invention.
Falsehood: I eat salads just because they're good for me.
Truth: Salads can be downright awesome with the perfect combination of textures, sweetness and salt.
Falsehood: Crispy apples, crunchy toasted walnuts, mellow chickpeas and caramelized shallots drizzled with honey mustard just don't work together. (SO FALSE.)
Truth: I love tawdry historical fiction dramas with a strong female protagonist. …which is totally besides the point, I'm sorry. (Not sorry.)
I also love everything about this salad – the combination of the apple, raisins and honey mustard almost make it a dessert, while the spinach, walnuts and chickpeas bring it back to lunchtime. And the caramelized shallots – they're just there for a dash of sex appeal.
The Ultimate Spinach Salad
(makes 2 meal-sized servings)
– A few large handfuls of spinach (Baby spinach works well. I had English spinach so I cut the leaves into small ribbons.)
– 1 cup of cooked chickpeas, rinsed well
– 1 apple, sliced thin (I used a gala apple)
– 2 tablespoons of raisins
– 2 tablespoons of toasted walnuts
– 1 shallot, sliced thin
– 2-3 tablespoons of honey mustard dressing (see below)
– salt&pepper, to taste
To toast walnuts: place nuts in a dry skillet over a medium heat, tossing occasionally until slightly browned and fragrant (3-5 minutes).
To caramelize shallots: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over a medium heat. Add the shallot slices and a dash off salt and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. They should become dark brown in color without burning.
Place all your ingredients (besides the dressing) in a large bow. Add the dressing slowly, tossing as you go. Serve immediately.
Honey Mustard Dressing
– 2 tablespoons of honey
– 2 teaspoons of mustard (I used 1 teaspoon of wholegrain and 1 teaspoon of Dijon)
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar
Place ingredients in a small jar with a lid and shake well.

Alexander McQueen Spring 2012
Before we go into describing the content of the Alexander McQueen spring collection, here's something of what happened afterward: Emmanuelle Alt, editor of French Vogue, first backstage—ahead of a 200-strong throng of congratulators—went down on her knees and pawed the ground in front of Sarah Burton, laughing, "Thank you!" In the background, an army of English interns jumped around and hugged another; a publicist briefed everyone, "She even had some of those ruffles hand-massaged, you realize!"; and Burton, who was losing her voice, croaked to journalists, "It's all about Gaia, the wonder of nature, the sea." Behind her, dresses constructed of encrustations of beading and mother-of-pearl, rivulets of microscopic pleats, filigrees of leather, cascades of ruffles, and miles of lace were painstakingly peeled off models by a phalanx of dressers.
Observing it all somewhere a little further off, David Burton, the designer's photographer-husband, remarked, "When you think about everything that's happened to her in the past eighteen months, you just couldn't make it up, could you?"
No, you could not. Three measures of exactly how speedily time zips past in fashion are these thoughts: a) that Alexander McQueen died only in February 2010, b) Catherine Middleton was married to Prince William this year on April 29 in a Sarah Burton for McQueen dress, and c) the Alexander McQueen exhibit in New York broke records at the Met before closing in August. Those events have so swiftly passed into history that it's incredible to realize: This is just the third collection Sarah Burton has designed on her own.
With this one, she, like Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy and Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, made her theme aquatic. Burton, however, must have thought long and hard before taking that plunge though, because the underwater world was also the ominous, apocalyptic theme Alexander McQueen explored in his last show, "Plato's Atlantis," for his spring 2010 collection. He saw the world drowned by global warming and women morphing into sea mammals with crustacean feet.
But Burton's way of looking at clothes is lighter than that of her former boss in both senses. Her collection—despite the fact that it honored McQueen's classic silhouette in the strict, suited opening, and his aggression in the lace-masked heads and gleaming, fetishy black leather—is actually far more life-affirming and free of constriction.
But there is not one iota of slipping back in the question of quality. In fact, this show, with all its allusions to coral, sea anemones, barnacles, frondy seaweed, silvery mother-of-pearl, and bone-white seashell, was practically at the level of a Parisian couturier—but created out of the McQueen London studio, with the help of those many interns and their chiffon-massaging fingers.
Rich and imaginatively extraordinary as it was, it also elevated the McQueen identity to a diplomatic fantasy-plane beyond which questions can't be asked. Speculation as to exactly which dress the Duchess of Cambridge might choose from this fantasia are impossible: Like most women, she never dresses this opulently in real life. Any woman who wants a translation of the froth and the curviform peplums which appear here will without a doubt find it in the parallel commercial collections Sarah Burton has sorted out just as beautifully.

I was wondering if anyone could confirm me that iPhone 5 would really be released on October 7 2011 or not? And is Apple really going to release it without any events?
Can I pre-order yet?
Technical faults are the first major problem iPhone 5 is going to face. If you are thinking this is wrong then dont forget what happened when iPhone 4 was launched. Rumored specs and features of the 5th generation iPhone clearly show that iPhone 5 will have a lot of new features and Apps. in it. Most of them will be introduced for the first time through this smartphone. So, there are chances that this phone will have a few minor technical faults in it.
If there is ANY department that they should be trying to find new innovation in, it should be battery technology.

- Drop-down lists
You can make a worksheet more efficient by providing drop-down lists. Someone using your worksheet clicks an arrow, and then clicks an entry in the list. Take this course to learn more about how best to use and manage them.
Inside this course:
Drop-down lists
Data entry is quicker and more accurate when you use a drop-down list to limit the entries people can make in a cell. When someone selects a cell, the drop-down list's down-arrow appears, and they can click it and make a selection.
Drop-down list settings
You can use a comma-delimited list, a cell range, or a named range to define the options in a drop-down list. This video focuses on how to use a cell range and named range.
Input and error messages
To help people decide what drop-down list option to select, and even to let them know that a cell contains a drop-down list, you can create a message that appears when they select a cell. Or that shows an error message when a drop-down list option isn't selected properly.
Manage drop-down lists
To prevent changes to your drop-down list data, you can hide the columns, rows, or the entire worksheet that contains the data. And unhide them if you need to make changes. You can also lock and password protect the cells on the worksheet or even the entire worksheet.

Made from material developed for military use, this is the beach tote that is impossible to fill with sand. Used in military applications to contain sand and dust when helicopters land and take off, the material is made from two layers of patented woven PVC/PE that instantly filter sand to the beach as soon as it falls on its surface. The specially woven polyurethane acts as a one-way filter to prevent sand from reemerging through the bottom or sides of the bag. The tote also allows dirt, dust, and water to pass through and won't absorb moisture, preventing mold and mildew. Includes a solid internal pocket for a phone or wallet, shoulder straps, and reinforced box stitch seams. 15" H x 17" W x 7 1/2" D. (1 lb.)

I don't know how that fabric works, but I can say that sand does not enter it, but if it does get in from the top, it falls through the bag and out again.

I bought this tote to carry the grandkids sand toys and hoped that it would keep the sand out of the car. It did a fair job but had hoped for a little less sand.

Couples Counselor
Philip Kolba, MA
Troy, New York
There are countless models of healthy romantic relationships, from monogamous to polyamorous, and unique variations between partners. The scripts for dating and longterm relationships of our parents' generations may not be applicable to your relationship, and there is no formal education in how to be a good partner or how to identify unhealthy relationships. But there is psychological research that shows that effective communication, emotional openness, intimacy, and other factors contribute to healthy relationships. Creating these conditions are skills that can be learned. I practice brief humanistic and emotion-focused therapy (EFT) to help my LGBTQ and hetero clients learn these skills.

Couples are dyads formed of exclusion. They conspire, they are rude. it's much better, particularly for girls, to act independently. I enjoy my role as Minister because it affords me the "promiscuity" I require in order to get to know everyone! No significant other would tolerate my wish to join in unspecified groups. Fit in, I do all by myself. I wouldn't really consider trading. my celibacy nor sharing. my soapbox with any other.

There's no off-time when you're in charge of San Bernardino police.
Chief Robert Handy was meeting a Neighborhood Watch captain at the Coco's on Highland Avenue on Wednesday morning when a customer mentioned that someone in the parking lot was selling power tools out of a backpack, Handy said Thursday.
"I was not in uniform, I was in a coat and tie, so I went out and talked to him," Handy said. "They were commercial tools, not like your mom or dad might have in the bottom drawer, and he offered to sell them to me."
Handy expressed interest and said he had to go inside to get his wallet. Instead, while inside he called for a patrol car to meet him in the parking lot.
"I tried to stall, but as soon as the police pulled in, he took off running and I took off chasing him," Handy said. "Either he pulled out a gun or dropped a gun, but he reached for his waistband, and as we struggled a little bit he dropped it."
The officers whose arrival had prompted the man to flee were a few steps behind, Handy said.
If he had been in uniform, Handy said he may have drawn his gun when he saw the man do the same.
"I was reaching for mine, there's no question, but at the same time, the accessibility of my suit is difficult to get to," he said. "If I'd had my gun, I may have pulled it. I'm not sure, since it all happened so quick."
The man turned out to be a 22-year-old transient from San Bernardino named Valid Llyas, said Lt. Paul Williams.
Llyas was charged with possession of an altered handgun because the gun's serial number had been scratched off and being a felon in possession of a handgun, said Williams, who didn't know what felony Llyas had been convicted of.
The tools were later determined to belong to Angie's Auto Center on Highland Ave., where they will be returned to, and Llyas will also be charged with burglary and possession of stolen property, Williams said.

No sugar, no sulfites, no oil, absolutely nothing added 5 Chocolates: Premium Dark Chocolate Fair Trade Certified No cholesterol, no transfats Why Organic Quite simply because organic food is grown without the use of harmful chemicals. A healthy choice for you and your loved ones, and, something not always realized, for those who produce the food, who are exposed to these harmful chemicals during non organic farming and production. And, without question, healthier for the precious ecosystems being damaged in countless ways by the use of these harmful chemicals. Choosing to buy organic food for yourself and your family affects this whole chain, and supports a system that is beneficial rather than harmful at each link. According to the USDA, US Department of Agriculture's NOP Standards, National Organic Program: "Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations... Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Kopali Organics' products are certified organic. This means a Government-approved certifier has inspected each and every farm where the food is grown, as well as each and every producer and company that processes it, to make sure they are following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. USDA certification is an incredibly important step, however Kopali Organics is committed to going even beyond organic certification, to support the most sustainable agricultural practices possible. About Kopali Organics Some were entrepreneurs and investors. Some were farmers. One was a retired dentist. In 2004, they were living on Punta Mona, their off-the-grid permaculture farm and educational sustainability center, beachfront in the rainforest of Costa Rica. Most of the food they eat there grows there. Houses are built from fallen trees, and even though they are in the middle of the jungle they have solar powered satellite wireless internet connecting them to the world. And as if that were not enough, some of the most amazing people from all over the world come to visit, share, live, teach and learn about sustainable farming and living. It is one of the most magical places on the planet, and life there is beyond good... But is it enough to live such a good life, while the rainforest and entire ecosystems around them are being destroyed? As entire communities of people are treated unfairly, and are directly and repeatedly sprayed and harmed by toxic herbicides, fungicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers? As food is produced with these harmful chemicals, which will directly enter the bodies of unknowing consumers, including children, who are especially vulnerable? Kopali Organics witnessed this first hand with their farming neighbors in Costa Rica. Large-scale industrial chemical banana production has caused unimaginable harm in the region. When they started Kopali, and still now right this very minute, thousands of acres of previously virgin rainforests are being destroyed; people living on and near the land are getting sick, sometimes dying, from the chemicals; and downstream ecosystems all the way to the coral reefs of the Caribbean sea are being destroyed. All so that "cheap" perfectly yellow bananas can be sold in the United States for pennies less than the alternative could be sold for. Small Farmers In the middle of all this, there are still small farmers, thousands of them, many indigenous to the region, who are holding out and still growing bananas and other food organically. The farmers take care of the land as if it were an extension of their own bodies, because it is a part of them and they always expect to live there. Wise and knowledgeable in ways that are valuable to all of humanity, these small farmers are the unsung heroes of their time, contributing to their well-being. The food they grow is not only free of the poisons of chemical agriculture, it is filled with more of the nutrients and healthful compounds that purely grown food contains. And these farmers not only avoid destroying the land like chemical agriculture, they regenerate it. They are the stewards of remaining unpolluted land, air and water, so desperately needed for their global balance. But these farmers are a dying breed. They are under tremendous price pressure and pressure to sell off their land and their communities, and they cannot and will not survive unless they can compete in the global market. Which they can only do, if those of them in the United States understand the choice they are making, each and every time they buy a "cheap" banana. Kopali Organics' Mission This is why they first started Kopali. To connect these heroic organic banana farmers, their neighbors at Punta Mona, with the growing market of shoppers who care where their food comes from. Kopali Organics believes this to be a viable business model. They believe that if properly informed and provided with viable alternatives, shoppers will make righteous choices. Nobody wants to destroy other people's lives, nor the ecosystems that support all life, only to save a few pennies on food, especially that which is unhealthy to eat. And Kopali's mission has expanded, to bring to the U.S. market not just bananas, and not just food from Costa Rica, but many products from all over the world that are nourishing, healthful, and healing in deep ways to all involved, to the planet as well as to current and future generations. Kopali Organics stand to prove that business can and must move beyond being harmful, and even beyond becoming responsible, to serving as a healing force in the world. Kopali Organics Every choice people make affects their well being, the lives of countless others, and the future of their world. This is the truth that inspired the start of Kopali as a partnership to restore the connection between the food they eat, the farmers who grow it and the planet we all share. Kopali Organics' part is to bring you radically pure, irresistably delicious, healthful snacks, produced in the most compassionate and sustainable ways possible. Your part is pure enjoyment. The outcome is…. in your hands!

I have searched the newbie forum for issues close to mine and dont seem to see any. My issue is that whn i start BT2 and 3 in a VB machine, the window used to autosize to fit the 1024x768 resolution. But then i updated from 3.08 to 3.14. Now what is happening is that the screen of bt2 and 3 are not auto fitted any more so i have to use the scroll bars on the right and bottom sides to move the bt screen around so i can see the task bar. This is anoying since i have to hit the right ctrl button continually to move the envronment to see any of the windows or task bar. I have posted in VB forums but no one has posted back and its been 3 days. Like i mentioned earlier in the post, it used to auto fit the bt screen in the box so i would not have to use the scroll bars. i have tried to look for an option in VB but cant seem to find one. Also i try to change the res of bt3 or 2 to 800x600 but it does not like that. haha.
thanks for the help. I am using bt2 for my labs from the professional pen test book by tom welhelm.

A total of $120,000 in Making THE Difference(MTD) Scholarships have been awarded to 116 students representing the 18 Assemblies of God colleges and universities located across the United States. MTD Scholarships are made available by the Assemblies of God Trust and the AG Alliance for Higher Education.
According to college administrators, even a smaller scholarship can often make the difference whether or not a student enrolls or continues their studies at an Assemblies of God university. AGTrust awards these scholarships designed to "make THE difference."
"Training young leaders is one of the major initiatives of AGTrust in our effort to empower future generations for the task of fulfilling the Great Commission," says Dr. George O. Wood, chairman of AGTrust and general superintendent of the Assemblies of God.
"We are investing in these young people through scholarships because we believe they will effectively reach multiplied thousands of people for Christ, if Jesus delays His coming, and will help build the kingdom of God in their generation."
Making THE Difference scholarships are awarded annually to students selected by the 18 individual AG schools, as AGTrust funds are available. Listed below are the 2011 Making THE Difference scholarship recipients from AGTS:

Crescent Times, one of Avustralia's Islamic newspapers, continues to publish the articles of Mr. Adnan Oktar. The newspaper published the author's article titled "The Good Should Avoid Bickering and Unite" on its edition dated November 25th, 2010. (You can read the complete article from here.)
ADNAN OKTAR: Unity, cooperation, solidarity, friendship, self-sacrifice, support, and similar other qualities are some of the beautiful attributes which are the underlying foundation of the Qur"anic morality. This is stated in many sayings of Our Prophet (saas). One of them reads:
"Believers are like the different parts of a building, each one supporting the other." Then he demonstrated what he meant by interlocking his fingers. (Hadith of Al-Bukhari and Muslim, Words of the Prophet Muhammad (saas), p. 67)

A Liberal Member of Parliament inaccurately claimed this week on national television that Telstra would launch a 12Mbps wireless broadband service which would "surpass" the National Broadband Network's 100Mbps fibre to the home service, meaning there was no need to proceed with a project he said was a "white elephant".
The ABC's Capital Hill program on Wednesday ran an extensive debate between Liberal MP Don Randall and Labor MP Mike Kelly on the NBN, following the Government's release of NBN Co's new corporate plan to cover the years until 2015. You can view the full clip on YouTube here or on the ABC's website. And thanks to Terry Green for first highlighting this issue on his blog.
Speaking on the program, Randall said "Telstra will beat the NBN at their own game" with competitive wireless broadband infrastructure. "Thanks to the $11 billion the NBN's giving Telstra, they are rolling out wireless, at a cheaper cost, 12 megabits per second, to people in outer areas of Australia," said Randall.
