Be Health Conscious: Eat This Not That – Your Thanksgiving Dinner Game Plan
Thanksgiving is almost here, and do you know what that means? It's the season for expanding waistlines and forgotten resolutions. Just because your friends and family are getting their fill of cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes does not mean that you have to stuff yourself like that turkey (or tofurky) on your dinner table. You can join in on the day-long eating marathon without completely undoing all of the hard work that you've put into your exercise and diet regimen the previous 11 months of the year. Even if you have dietary restrictions, such as no meat or no gluten, you can eat with the best of them with just a few minor modifications.
So, put on your stretchy yoga pants and comfortable clothes, and away you go! Here is your Thanksgiving day game plan for you calorie cutters, vegan/vegetarians and gluten-free yogis:
Calorie Cutter: Watching your waistline on Thanksgiving can be tricky, but when it comes to turkey, it can be easy. Grab a small portion of meat – the size of the palm of your hand – and leave the fatty and high-calorie skin behind. Light or dark meat has about the same calories, so it's all about your portion size and avoiding that fatty skin. Also, just say no to deep-fried turkey!
Vegetarian/Vegan: Because turkey is not an option, you can opt for a tofurky (or fish for you pescatarians out there), or skip the main dish altogether and indulge in the best part of any meal – the sides!
Gluten Free: You are in the clear for this dish, so just make sure that your gravy on top is also gluten-free, as many gravy recipes call for flour.
Calorie Cutter: Stuffing is high in calories and fat and low in nutrition. This combination, while yummy, can wreak havoc on your waistline when eaten in excess. Make it more nutritious with a whole grain bread and by adding lots of vegetables to the recipe – celery, broccoli, carrots, peppers, mushrooms, etc. You will get tons of flavor, along with the health benefits in those added veggies. Instead of milk and butter, add chicken broth and a low-fat margarine to cut fat and calories.
Vegetarian/Vegan: Many recipes call for chicken broth as a base, so instead use vegetable broth. For a creamy stuffing, use soy or almond milk and coconut oil instead, all of which are great for vegetarians and vegans alike.
Gluten Free: Typical stuffing is a no-no, so instead, use a rice-based bread or your bread of choice as your base. You can add veggies and your choice of liquid base (vegetable broth, chicken broth) and seasonings to make this stuffing recipe your own.
Mashed Potatoes
Calorie Cutter: Mashed potatoes are creamy and delicious, but because they are loaded with heavy cream and butter, they can be a calorie monster. Try cauliflower mash, which is made just as you would mashed potatoes, but using cauliflower instead. Or, if you aren't ready to fully commit, prepare a 50/50 mix of cauliflower and potatoes, so you can cut calories without cutting the flavor or texture. Whichever recipe you choose, swap out your heavy cream for milk, skim milk or even low-calorie milk replacements (such as almond or coconut milk) to slash the calories and fat. If you don't want to change the taste or consistency, just have a small scoop of the real deal, and don't go back for seconds!
Vegetarian/Vegan: Skip the gravy, which is often filled with some form of meat. Make your own mashed potatoes, where instead of adding milk and butter to your potatoes, combine soy or almond milk and coconut oil along with your favorite seasonings. This combination is creamy and flavorful and just as good or better than the original recipe.
Gluten Free: While you are typically safe, make sure that your chef didn't add in flour to the potatoes as a thickener. And, double check that the gravy on top is all free of gluten.
Cranberry Sauce / Condiments / Sides
Calorie Cutter: Stay away from anything fried, covered in sauce or gravy or anything that appears to be thick and creamy. Instead, have your fill of veggies and a tablespoon or two of homemade cranberry sauce that you make yourself without added sugar. This sweet treat is a nice balance to the savory flavors throughout the rest of your dish.
Vegetarian/Vegan: While you are probably used to asking about ingredients when out to dinner, Thanksgiving is a particularly important day to ask. While your family and friends may mean well, they may add in unsuspecting chicken broth, mayonnaise and other meat-based items where you least expect it. Better yet, just play it safe. Grab a salad, cranberry sauce or other side dishes that you can clearly see all of the components, so you are safe from meat-product contamination.
Gluten Free: For this category of your meal, you are probably safe – but double check just to be sure. If it's bread-based and you didn't make it, it is probably filled with gluten, so choose vegetable or fruit-based sides. Even unsuspecting dishes like green bean casserole can be dangerous with those breaded and fried onions on top.
Calorie Cutter: At this point, you've made so many smart choices and have done so well throughout your meal. You are approaching the finish line and you don't want to stop now! Most desserts are full of butter, cream and and tons of sugar. Your approach here is moderation. Have a thin slice of pumpkin pie and skip the whipped cream. Have a spoonful of pudding. Share a cookie with a friend. Now is your time to have a little of what you'd like to reward yourself for doing so well throughout the rest of your meal. If you don't want to cheat, prepare strawberries or other fruit with a light cream or make a light and frothy pumpkin mousse or another sugar-free dessert. Enjoy a small, sweet treat at the end of your meal. You deserve it!
Vegetarian/Vegan: For vegetarians, dessert is a no brainer – you can have it all! However for vegans, most baked goods on Thanksgiving are filled with milk and butter, and anything with a pie crust is an instant no-go on your list. Unless you make it, it is probably off of your menu tonight. Here is your chance to show off your inner vegan baker, so pick your favorite dessert and share it with those you love.
Gluten Free: Many desserts are carb-heavy and unless the baker is gluten free, those carbs are generally made with white, refined flour. Make your own cookies, pie or cake and add it to the dessert table. The best part will be announcing that your dessert was gluten free after the meal is over – just watch the surprise on the faces of those who indulged in and enjoyed your sweet treat, only to find that what they just ate was gluten free!
Now, your meal is over and your belly is full. You can sit back, relax and give thanks for all that you have and the people in which you share your day. Cherish the time and memories that you create with your family and great food. Cook together and share your cuisines, and take some time to reflect on all things you have to be grateful for. Don't forget to do some yoga and limber up before you make a mad dash for Black Friday shopping!

The cliché
Efficient and disciplined. You can never write off the Germans.
The reality
German invincibility has taken a pounding in the past five years, with England, Romania and Italy all handing out the sort of thrashings that would have been inconceivable in the past. A shortage of talent means heavy reliance on Michael Ballack and the team have tried 14 different defenders in the past 18 months without improvement. Still as they showed in Korea/Japan you can, er, never write them off.
Where they're staying
Schloss Hotel im Grunewald. A luxurious Berlin mansion recently renovated under the supervision of pony-tailed fashion guru Karl Lagerfeld. As well as the usual delights, the Schloss boasts a "technology butler" - surely enough on its own to distract the boys from Berlin's prodigious club scene.
Grudge match
Frank Rijkaard's spit dribbling from Rudi Völler's bubble perm and Ronald Koeman claiming to have wiped his bum with Olaf Thon's shirt has fuelled a sense of German grievance with Holland.
The politics
Oliver Kahn and Jens Lehmann are locked in a ferocious battle of egos and have not attended squad sessions together for more than a year because of fears that they would poison the atmosphere. Now Lehmann is first choice, Kahn claims he "will not wish him an injury or red card". Yeah, right.
Supported by
Thousands of men with big moustaches dressed in denim waistcoats covered in club patches and badges will lend a Status Quo concert air to games.
Slogan on team coach
"We are football"
The coach: Jürgen Klinsmann
On his chalkboard
Jürgen Klinsmann has brought a New Age approach to coaching Germany with psychological training, a laid-back attitude to discipline and some US fitness coaches who he claims will increase the team's stamina by 30%. The former Spurs striker emphasises "positivity". Just as well, because the defence is a shambles.
In his closet
Klinsi once threatened to quit playing in protest at environmental damage. He now commutes by aeroplane from California.
The players
Most likely to move to Bolton
Bernd Schneider. The John Hegley look-alike from Bayer Leverkusen has the midfield skills and, at 32, the heavy legs to find favour with those Trotters still pining for the days when Fredi Bobic saved them from relegation.
Oscar nominee
Michael Ballack normally tops the poll of Schwalbenkonig (diving-kings) though, when Franz Beckenbauer said play-actors ruined the Bundesliga, he didn't mention the Bayern Munich star. Odd that.
King of the endorsements
Kahn is top man thanks to a major deal with Burger King and TV adverts for the Paulaner Brewery that see him supping a vast flagon of lager in a Munich beer garden, but Lukas Podolski is catching up thanks to his hunky appearance in a deodorant ad.
You'll be copying . . .
The salmon-like leaping of Miroslav Klose, who out jumps defenders as if he's on a pogo stick and then skies his header over the bar.
Nation sweating on
Sebastian Kehl is hardly a household name, possibly not even in his own gaff, but Germans, having already lost the luckless Sebastian Diesler, will be hoping he recovers from an ankle injury.
Rooney to have a grand on
Superfast midfielder David Odonkor outsprinting Theo Walcott over 100m (his PB for the distance is 10.9sec).
If they were shoes . . . Hush Puppies
Solid, dependable, robust. They rarely set the pulse racing though you have to admire that they've been an ever-present on the big stage since we were kids. They'll be feeling nice and comfy at home this summer

The country
On the psychiatrist's couch
"I took several centuries to pull myself together and establish my own identity. When I was young I was influenced by totally the wrong sort of people. I got into a lot of fights and I did some terrible things. I've calmed down since but it's not always easy when people whistle The Great Escape at you all the time."
What they eat
Sausages, of course. Germany is home to more than 150 varieties of wurst made from just about every part of an animal you can imagine - and some you'd probably rather not.
What they watch
Soap opera Gute Zeiten Schlechte Zeiten (Good Times and Bad Times) regularly attracts 40% of the viewing share and helped launch the pop career of Jeanette Biedermann - the German Britney.
Anthem in brief
The Germans praise German wine, women and songs and vow to keep them safe and happy even if it means lining river banks with their arms linked.
Well I never
With 60,000 registered naturists and 160 "free body culture" clubs, Germany can justifiably claim to be the nudist capital of the world. Neanderthal man came from just outside Düsseldorf.

Genesis- R-Kive pt 1-Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford
There are several revelations in this Genesis interview with band members Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford specifically about the initial five studio albums, 1972's Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound the following year, and the conceptual The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway when the charismatic Peter Gabriel was fronting the English progressive rock quintet. Rutherford confesses that the first personnel departure, that of his Charter House prep school chum guitarist Anthony "Ant" Phillips, was actually the hardest of all of the significant defections which would later occur in the band's more than forty year run. Phil Collins grudgingly admits to being somewhat annoyed at still having to defend the wisdom in the Genesis evolution of a band whose members have sold collectively upwards of 130 million records and still stayed together longer than any of their peers.
As the lead singer, Peter Gabriel was employing performance art in Genesis concerts long before anyone had even coined the term. But when asked if everyone else in the band encouraged the riveting, bizarre costumes worn by Peter, Mike Rutherford admitted," Had Peter run it by us, we probably would have said 'No.' Peter had the brains to actually realize,'Don't tell them what I'm doing, just DO it.' And it worked that way, otherwise we would have vetoed most of his things, knowing us!"
Phil and Mike chronicle the first distinct era of Genesis 1970-75 in part one of our look into the Genesis R-Kive three-disc anthology companion to the BBC/ Showtime documentary Genesis: Sum of the Parts. And be sure to listen to part two here. -Redbeard

Modern 8 Films
A Georgia wedding on Super 8 Film: As Hurricane Sandy made her way up the Atlantic on October 27th, the Soja & Vonsiatsky familes were busy preparing for Alex & Becky's big day. Anxious guests kept a close eye on the weather channel that weekend, but nothing could dampen the happiness of this little group:) Not the wind, rain, flood warnings, or the last minute party changes from outdoors to in. The day proved to be filled with so much warmth and love that not even a hurricane could steal the show. This was a weekend we will treasure for a long time. We met the Soja & Vonsiatsky families as strangers on Friday afternoon, and left on Sunday feeling like part of the family.
Behind The Scenes: As it would turn out, Hurricane Sandy swung out to sea and passed Georgia by on the east. And we breathed a sigh of relief knowing our cameras would stay dry:) The opening scene is a shot of the outside edges of the storm as it passed us by.

Smoked Prime Rib
Pamela Rappaport
My family loves this and while it looks time consuming it's very easy! You're just waiting for it to cook. This is also how I smoke New York strip loin roasts.
- 2-5 bone prime rib roast (standing rib roast)
- olive oil or other cooking oil
- sald and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 c
- sour cream
- 2 Tbsp
- prepared horseradish (or to taste)
- dash salt
How to Make Smoked Prime Rib
- 1Lay the prime rib on the cutting board. You want a good cap of fat left on the meat, 1/4 to 1/2 inch, can trim off excess.
- 2Rub the entire surface with cooking oil.
- 3Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- 4If you have the time, it is ideal to place it uncovered in the fridge for 24 hours. This allows the salt to penetrate ans is called a dry brine.
- 5Take it out of the fridge about an hour before cooking to take the chill off.
- 6Prepare you smoker and set the temperature at 225 degrees.
- 7Place the rib roast directly on the cooking rack bones down. Insert a meat thermometer so you can determine when to take it out.
- 8Add your chips or pellets for the smoke. Cherry, apple or any lighter flavored wood is good. Smoke it for at least the first 2 to 3 hours.
- 9Continue cooking in the smoker until the internal temperature is 135 to 140 for medium rare. Total cooking time can take from 5 to 7 hours depending on the size of roast/number of bones.
- 10Remove to a platter and immediately tent with foil and let rest for 30 minutes. Longer if it's a really big one.
- 11While it's resting mix everything for the horseradish sauce, taste and adjust. Some people like a squeeze of lemon juice or dash of Worcestershire. Make it yours.
- 12Slice between the bones and serve. Sometimes I cut the meat from the bones in one piece so that I can slice it thinner. Then I slice the bones apart and put them on the platter and the family fights over them!

Ontario rat 1??
Ok I am already looking to replace my current EDC knife. I have heard this knife mentioned before and I want owners opinions. The wife and I love the look and specs on the knife and your opinion is greatly appreciated
Also what's the deal with the company name? Is it esse or whatever and do they warranty the rat1
I own an Ontario rat 1 and it is easily one of my favorite folders... The blade takes a wicked sharp edge. I made a project out of texturing the grips to add traction, which turned out a bit unattractive but very functional. Locks up strong and slices well... For the cheap prices you can score this knife for online I say buy two!
I don't kniw anything about it... I havent had to find out (knock on wood)...
I just won a utilitac II and 6 other knives from a youtube contest .
The utilitac II is also made by ontario. You might want to give it a look as well. Ontario makes excellent knives. I also have a 1-18 sawback machete made by ontario 24" slab of 1095 for 20 bucks. whats better than that.
The RAT 1 is a favorite among lower end working man blades the utilitac II is trying to take that title and just may do it. You get a well built knife when you buy ontario
Here is the Rat 1 just above a utilitac II http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy277/JNieporteBF/DSCF0001-2.jpg
Correction.. the utilitac is an additional design in Ontario's portfolio. In fact, if my memory serves, the utilitac knives were designed by Joe Pardue, son of legend Mel Pardue...

As I write this, it has been 364 days since the first U.S. case of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) was diagnosed at the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. I believe everyone was concerned about that news.
A new disease always brings a chill of apprehension, but I doubt anyone knew just how concerned they should have been on May 17, 2013. As it turns out, "very concerned" or "scared to death" both may have been appropriate. The truth is, we still don't know which better describes this menace to baby pigs.
Not the Foreign Animal Disease We Feared
For years, the U.S. pork industry has feared, considered and planned for the introduction of a foreign animal disease, with virtually all of the attention on Foot-and-Mouth Disease, African Swine Fever and Classical Swine Fever. Any of these would immediately close exports markets, destroying demand for roughly 23 percent of U.S. production.
Domestic supplies would increase dramatically, pushing prices down sharply in order to clear the market. That assumes that domestic demand would remain relatively strong in spite of what almost certainly will be a public relations hurdle as news services cover control and eradication efforts.
PEDV though, is not a demand-killing bug. In fact, pork demand has remained strong since PEDV first appeared, with real per capita pork expenditures growing nearly 6 percent in 2013 and over 5 percent in 2014 through March.
There have been virtually no instances in which the safety of pork has been questioned due to PEDV, and consumers and the popular press have remained calm. This is due in large part to fact-based messages regarding food safety being shared by the pork industry.
The irony of PEDV is that as a supply-impacting disease, producers could be financially better off this year for the following reasons:
1) Demand for pigs is inelastic. This means that any reduction in the pig supply will cause a price increase that is larger in percentage terms than the supply reduction. Further, the relative price change (i.e., price flexibility or multiplier) normally ranges from -2 to -3. So, for every 1 percent reduction in quantity supplied, prices will usually rise 2 to 3 percent.
Since total revenue is price times quantity, a 1 percent decrease in pig output causes a 1 to 2 percent increase in total revenue for producers.
2) Some producers are not losing a large percentage of yearly output to PEDV. Current evidence indicates that most herds return to normal production within five to eight weeks, with most losses in the first three to four weeks. So, 8 to 12 percent of output is being lost on infected farms. Larger producers with multiple sow farms may avoid having PEDV at every location.
The obvious exceptions are single-site producers who farrow less frequently than once every two months or so. They could see pig losses proportionally larger than the price increase witnessed so far in 2014, meaning their total revenue would decrease.
Record Profits Expected
For producers as a whole, add to higher revenue the fact that production costs are 10 to 15 percent lower this year, and it is easy to see that 2014 will likely be a year of record profitability for producers.
So who will be hurt by PEDV? Consumers and middlemen (packers, processors, distributors, retailers) and people who work for them. Consumers will pay higher prices for pork and other proteins since high pork prices will allow those values to rise, as well. Middlemen and their employees will be hurt by reduced throughput and, most likely, operating hours.
How Big Has the Impact Been? How Big Will It Be?
No one knows the answer to those two questions with certainty because our data systems are not geared to accurately tell us how many pigs have died from the disease. There are three different data sources, each of which approach the issue from a different point of view.
1) National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) – This network provides weekly data to USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service on the number of case submissions and positive case accessions. Data are provided by states, but the labs have no way to know much, if anything, about the number of pigs lost, the number of pigs at risk, etc.
So all we know is that each accession represents a set of samples submitted for a given farm at one point in time. Many represent new cases, but some are retests on farms infected earlier. Farms that don't submit samples to diagnostic labs generate no data. Figure 1 shows weekly positive PEDV case accessions for the U.S. and several key states.
2) University of Minnesota Swine Health Monitoring Project – The College of Veterinary Medicine publishes weekly updates from large farms. Participants have steadily increased to 16 as of mid-May, with nine participating publicly and the identities of the others confidential.
The 713 breeding herds account for about 2.5 million sows, with 57 percent having been infected by PEDV in the past 12 months. Of the 713 breeding herds, 315 are in the Midwest, 62 in the Oklahoma Panhandle and 336 in the Southeast.
The new Census of Agriculture indicates, however, that there are far more farms with breeding hogs in the upper Midwest states than in the Southeast. This suggests that firms reporting may under-represent the Midwest herd, which saw rapidly increasing PEDV case accessions this winter.
3) USDA's Hogs and Pigs Report – USDA's March 28 report represents March 1 inventories and should reflect PEDV baby pig losses to that date.
Inventories, with the exception of the breeding herd, were larger than analysts expected but reflected some PEDV impacts. The average number of pigs saved per litter was the lowest since early 2009, and the December-February pig crop was down 3.6 percent from last year.
USDA's September through November pig crop, though, was as large as a year earlier, a finding that does not fit with March slaughter that was 6.7 percent lower than in 2013. March slaughter is made up primarily of pigs born in September.
The report also pegged the December through February pig crops for Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois at +5, +2 and +3 percent, respectively, from a year earlier. These numbers do not jibe well with NAHLN data that shows rapidly rising PEDV case accessions in the Midwest during that period.
So Where Do We Stand?
The honest answer is that we do not know. If more than 50 percent of sows have indeed been infected, with pig losses of 2.7 to 3.0 pigs per sow as widely established by producers dealing with the disease, we lost 7-8 million pigs from June 2013 through April 2014. Distributing these numbers according to the accession data suggests hog slaughter could be down 10 percent from 2013 levels from July through September.
Higher weights will make up 3 to 4 percent of the reduction, but pork supplies will, in my opinion, be tight in the second half of 2014. I expect weekly slaughter to drop quickly after June 1 and national barrow and gilt prices to spend most of the summer in the mid-$120s per cwt., carcass.
There is little data to suggest what may happen beyond September. Warmer weather has slowed the rate of positive accessions, so slaughter reductions should get smaller in the fourth quarter. The same should apply to the first quarter of 2015 if case numbers fall as expected this summer.
Beyond that, PEDV's impact depends on:
- Whether an effective vaccine is developed,
- The degree to which immunities persist in herds that have already dealt with the disease, and
- How effectively producers apply management practices they have learned to prevent future breaks.
Things are better now. But the only certainty is that the future of PEDV's impact is still quite uncertain.

Why do I need a pension?
A pension is simply a form of saving for retirement that has generous tax benefits. The money you save in a pension builds up into a pot which could be converted into a fixed or flexible taxed income or can be taken as a single or series of cash lump sums. You can take 25% of this tax-free with the remainder being taxed.
A pension is designed to help you fund your retirement and replace the income you are no longer receiving from working. It can fit alongside all your other savings, from bank and building society accounts to property.
It's important to think about the income you're likely to need in retirement.
Pensions could be one important way to support your retirement. Another may be your home (some people talk about their property as their pension) and another could be all your other savings and investments such as deposit accounts and shares. Your retirement income may come from any combination of these.
Average life expectancy is also increasing, meaning that the length of your retirement could be longer than you expect. So it's important to think about the income you're likely to need in your retirement and how a pension could help generate it.
With any form of investment, including a pension, the value can go down as well as up and so it is worth noting that you may not get back what you put in.
There are three main categories of pension provision to consider: State pensions, Company pensions and Individual pensions.
Benefits of pensions
There are several benefits of using pensions to save for retirement:
- Tax relief
When you save in a pension the taxman helps to increase your pension pot by providing tax relief, subject to certain limits.
- Tax-efficient growth
Money in your pension fund grows largely free of tax. This could help to boost the amount you have in you fund.
- Employer contributions
With company pensions your employer makes contributions to your pension, increasing the amount going into your fund. Depending on the scheme, they may match up to 100% of the contributions you make.
- Access to investing in funds
By saving in a pension, you're able to put your money in a range of investments, such as the stock market, commercial property, bonds, and funds. The range of investments will depend on the scheme.
- Access to tax free cash in retirement
When you take your benefits you may have the option of taking up to 25% of the pension fund you have built up as tax free cash (depending on your age, the scheme rules and tax allowances). So if you build up a fund of £100,000 for example, you may be entitled to take £25,000 as a tax free cash. The remainder would be taxed as earned income.
You now also have more freedom over how you take your tax-free cash, following pensions changes introduced by the government in April 2015
This is based on our current understanding of current tax legislation and HM Revenue & Customs practice, both of which may change without notice. The impact of taxation (and any tax relief) depends on individual circumstances.

WHEN Surrey Heath's teams take part in the annual Surrey Youth Games at Guildford in June they will all be kitted out in style to inspire top performances with Toshiba donated t-shirts and baseball hats and sporting water bottles.
Toshiba's Pam Thorley met up with members of the girls' football team to check out the kit and watch them in training ready to represent the borough.
"The new kit certainly shows how serious we are about competing this year and we are grateful to Toshiba for taking us seriously and sponsoring us," said Surrey Heath's business development manager, Mark Coughlan. "Surrey Heath came fourth last year, only six points away from being champions of Surrey. "When we take part in the cup this year we will certainly look the biz."

Deaditorial: Streaming Services are Killing Horror (And What They Can Do To Save It)Fearful Features,Home,Movies/TV,News Ken W. Hanley
It's a bit hard to imagine, but I've been a paying Netflix subscriber for over ten years now. At first, what appealed to me wasn't the convenience of never going to the local video store, which was a ritual I cherished then and miss dearly now, but rather the impossibly huge selection. As much as Blockbuster or Merchant Square Video could have the coolest new releases, the interesting video fare and a nice chunk of old & obscure films, they didn't quite have everything I had been recommended via friend's older brothers and society's younger brother, the internet. And so I partook in the 3-at-a-time disc service to rent films such as MEET THE FEEBLES, KING OF THE ANTS and UHF, plus many various foreign, art and shlock films I couldn't find elsewhere.Read more »

NYCC '15 Video Q&A: Jill Marie Jones talks "ASH VS. EVIL DEAD"; Second Season Confirmed!Movies/TV,News Ken W. Hanley
When you hear a title like ASH VS. EVIL DEAD, any fright fan can tell you that fighting deadites can get too messy for one man (or several, for that matter). Hell, it's even a given that the highly anticipated Starz series will feature Deadite-fighters who don't even have the benefit of the one-armed lothario on their side. In fact, one of the first people fans will see battle the EVIL DEAD is Amanda Fisher, a badass detective who learns first hand just how dangerous the deadites can be. Luckily, Starz enlisted in the versatile and talented Jill Marie Jones to bring Fisher to life, and at the 2015 New York Comic Con, FANGORIA caught up with Jones to talk ASH VS. EVIL DEAD…Read more »
"ARMY OF DARKNESS: COLLECTOR'S EDITION" (Blu-ray Review)Movies/TV,News,Reviews Ken W. Hanley
Fans of the EVIL DEAD franchise are among the most ardent collectors in the landscape of horror home media. Considering the various impressive DVD sets (including the lauded "Book of the Dead" packaging), the Blu-ray sets including two different editions of EVIL DEAD II and the excellent special features that come with each release, EVIL DEAD fans have spent a lot of money and raised a bar of expectations over the years. So when Scream Factory announced that they would be releasing a Collector's Edition set of ARMY OF DARKNESS on Blu-ray right on time for the premiere of ASH VS. EVIL DEAD, many EVIL DEAD fans were skeptical about what the specialty distributor could offer outside the already impressive, studio-released Screwhead Edition Blu from years back. As it turns out, the answer is a hell of a lot, with Scream Factory offering not only the definitive home media release for the film but one that puts the Screwhead Edition to shame.Read more »

Personally speaking, I have several reasons why I love SIMS 3 especially now with the addition of SIMS 3 Seasons in the line up.
SIMS 3 Seasons comes with a price. Not all will get to buy this kind of game, and that is a fact. Exciting and fun as it may seem, this is reality I am presenting here.

Everyone will now have the chance to get to enjoy SIMS 3 Seasons cool features. To mention a few: sims will now experience new activities for every season, they will also get to enjoy seasonal festivals, experience and challenge changing weathers, dress for different seasons, and so much more.
Personally speaking, as far as features and genre is concern, SIMS 3 Seasons is the best game and SIMS 3 Crack will let you play it for free.

I don't agree that is better. What i think is better is timely notification of state of branches and packages so users and admins can take action as they see fit to either help by participating in the maintainence burden, or choosing to uninstall the package based on the knowledge that its out of maintainence, or making an informed choice to live with the risks. Right now users who continue to use Fedora beyond stated EOL are making an informed choice to do so. In fact we tell them early enough about the timeframe that its a planned informed choice. Its not the choice I would make... but it is an informed choice and we aren't surprising them. Extending the lifetime of things in a freeform way only increases the risk that a package will go unmaintained without the users/admins knowing that it is. Unless we implement timely notification on the client we are not balancing that increased risk with increased notification. We are making it harder for people to make informed choices. And i think that balance is of ultimate importance, so that admins/users can make informed choices about what to do when packages and whole branches go EOL. > Indeed that would be nice (and nice for orphaned fedora packages too) > but I don't think this should be blocking the updates after end of life. I'm very concerned about this issue. > We trust packagers who sign for a branch to do things, and otherwise to > orphan it. Trust... but verify. Right now the trust we extended to maintainers is circumscribed by a hard and definite EOL timeframe. I think its inappropriate to have the timeline of a branch solely dependent on trust...unless you have process to verify that people are doing the necessary work required to keep the branch alive. It'd be really damn easy for people to just sign up for Core packages and do absolutely nothing to fix issues in them, just to keep the branch alive... because you have created a conflict of interest. The people using the branch, don't want to see the branch die, and as a result they'll claim maintainership on core packages just to keep things going. Unless you can verify that things are getting done. If for example the kernel has an exposed security flaw for X number of months without a fix...regardless of whether someone is officially listed as a maintainer.. the branch needs to die. You are delibrately tieing 'maintainership' to the branch continuation.. and if you do that.. you need to be very honest about what maintainership means... or else we'll have a branch linger for years without actual effort going into core packages. > > I'm not sure we can realistically make an open-ended commitment in > > terms of resources.

A Clear Housing Recovery
While housing appears at or near the bottom, it's hard for anyone to say with a straight face that we're in a housing "recovery." Home values remain down from peak levels in most markets, and significantly so in hard-hit areas like Florida and Nevada. Banks are still reluctant to extend mortgages to qualified buyers, and qualified buyers are fewer and farther between due to the soft job market.
There has been a trickle of encouraging news — such as a May report from RealtyTrac that noted foreclosures were down year-over-year for the 20th straight month. But most folks aren't looking for signs that housing is continuing to crash, they're looking for signs of a clear recovery.
A spate of overtly positive housing news could do wonders.
Help From Emerging Markets
During the crisis days of 2008, it was clear that investors were running scared from cratering Western economies and into high-growth opportunities abroad. Consider that the iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (NYSE:EWZ) more than doubled during 2009. The Morgan Stanley China A Share Fund. (NYSE:CAF) was up over 50%.
But since January 2010, it's been all downhill. While the Dow is up 20% in that time, the EWZ and CAF funds are off about 40%. It's no surprise why as inflation has become an issue in a fast-growing Brazil, and fears of a hard landing — or the "year of the draggin'" — have been holding back China.
If we could just get some help from other emerging markets now that China and Brazil have fallen out of favor, it could give the market a shot in the arm. Investors just feel like they have nowhere to turn right now since no region seems to be doing well.
Continued Earnings Growth
A lot of people like to hate on corporate profits, perhaps because they feel it's unfair for businesses to be enjoying more cash even if the broader economy is in trouble. But businesses need to be making money to spend money on equipment, people and software. And most important, investors need to feel like companies are growing if they're going to bid up their shares.
Right now, trailing price-to-earnings multiples for the S&P are a tad lower than 13 — and fiscal 2012 PE for the index is in the low 12s. Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management, recently told Yahoo! Finance that "We've never in the post-War era had this low of multiples when interest rates and inflation were also this low."
If earnings keep moving up, stocks simply have to follow suit — even if these broader macro troubles persist.

Why a new name? (2014)
For six years GSLIS has sponsored ten Digital Divide
Lectures each fall. This year we continue under a new
name: the Info City Lectures. But the digital divide
has not disappeared. So why the change?
These lectures and our other work have taught us that the digital divide is not only a simple matter of haves and have nots. It is the have-nots, the have-less, and the have-mores. It is in motion, expanding from computers to phones to chips everywhere. Old applications (email) are joined by new ones (social media). It is pervasive in our work, education, culture, and daily lives. Yet some data is plentiful, some non-existent, and most of it not shared or even understood. Looking at it sector by sector, there are many surprises.
Through all this, an information city is coming into being. The industrial city was a result of all kinds of forces. This time around, can we be more conscious and deliberate? Can we make sure the outcomes work for all of us?
This means conversation, so the Digital Divide Lectures become the Info City Lectures.
It also means work. So far infocitycu includes:
1. Connectivity: affordable broadband
2. Computers: recycled and updated
3. Public computing: open and functioning labs
4. Cybernavigators: supporting people at public computing sites
5. Community help desk: an IT department for the community
6. Cyberspace: online content of, by, and for the community
7. Annual community meeting: to keep it all on track and transparent
infocitycu builds on UC2B and its Community Benefit Fund. And on PLATO, Prairienet, and many more campus and community innovations. It is currently led by four partners -- Chrisp Media, Digital Equality Initiative, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Department of African-American Studies, and the Graduate School of Library & Information Science Community Informatics Research Lab -- and is gaining supporters. Implementation is the task, but the concept is simple: Connected we stand!

What is a Star Diagonal? When using a refractor or cassegrain style telescope a unique problem can sometimes occur. Depending on the telescope's position, it might be very uncomfortable for the viewer to look straight through the eyepiece! For that reason, a simple piece of equipment was invented: the diagonal. The star diagonal is easily recognizable. It contains an angled mirror or prism that allows for comfortable viewing, especially if the telescope is pointed at or near the zenith. At the same time, it can erect the image, making it appear "right side up", but it also reverses left to right. Let's discuss the two styles.
The first design is the mirror diagonal. Many star diagonals use a high quality mirror set at a 45° angle inside the diagonal. This allows the telescope's image to appear at a 90° angle to the rear cell where it is then magnified by the eyepiece. The image in your eyepiece will be correctly oriented vertically, but reversed left-to-right horizontally. At first, this change in direction can be slightly confusing when comparing the image to a star chart, but a high quality mirror diagonal provides very little light loss in the optical path.
The second design is the prism diagonal. Inside the angled body, an Amici roof prism bends the light path in the same fashion as binoculars. Because it is not reflecting, but bending, this design allows it to be "image erecting" or "image correcting" both horizontally and vertically. Because the eyepiece image is oriented the same as looking at a star chart or lunar map, it does simple things. However, unless a high quality prism is used, it can reduce the total amount of light transmitted to the eyepiece and the eye. Some prism diagonals may also introduce chromatic aberration when used with short focal-length telescopes. Before you believe prism diagonals to be a bad decision, however, they are an excellent choice for viewing terrestrial subjects where orientation matters the most and a small amount of light lost is no problem.
Because most diagonals supplied with average telescopes are not exceptionally high quality, you may wish to upgrade your star diagonal. Even the finest of eyepieces are no better than the diagonal in which they are placed. For a telescope with a 2" focuser adapted down to a 1.25" diagonal, the change to a full 2" star diagonal will be nothing short of amazing! Here at OPT, we stock the finest quality star diagonals from leading manufacturers, including star diagonals exclusively for binoviewers. When you browse through our selection in 1.25" Star Diagonals, you'll find a wide variety of offerings from Meade, Celestron, Orion, Takahashi, TeleVue, Stellarvue, and William Optics. The 2" Star Diagonals section is home to OPT, Meade, Celestron, William Optics, Takahashi, Televue, and more. You'll also find the Denkmeier Power X, which allows for multiple magnifications within the diagonal and models which allow filters to be threaded directly to the diagonal body instead of the eyepiece. If you specifically want Image Erect Diagonals and Adapters, check out our offerings from William Optics, Meade, Celestron, Stellarvue, and TeleVue.

Having to be a fan since 2004, One Piece appears to be less and less appealing to me and there are several reasons for that. Please no flaming and bashing. This is just my opinion.
- Timeskip: Ever since the Timeskip you'll think the characters would change but it appears that some characters have not changed. Like Chopper's gullibleness or Nami's short-tenderness or Usopp's crowardness. Oda appears to keep Nami, Chopper, and Brook a weak trio and almost never get enough spotlight.
- Lack of real adventures: In Magi, characters would explore dungeons and around the world dealing with empires, One Piece almost have no adventures since Skypiea and would never explore dungeons. The current arc is hardly an adventure. The Straw Hat Pirates have to disguise themselves, they always gets chased by Marines, they go visit islands that has cities and not an empty plains dotted with ruins and strange creatures.
Adding regional race that turns out to be a work of a Devil Fruit: Centaurs and Styers turns out to be a work of an Ope-Ope no Mi, meanwhile in Dressrosa the toys are the result of the Hobi-Hobi no Mi. One would wonder why Oda can't just add natural races in One Piece. I would not be surprise that once we reach Big Mom, she wo uld be surrounded by bunch of living candies and it was revealed to be result of someone who ate a Candy-Candy no Mi. Oda loves to limit things to a Devil Fruit.
One Piece is still cartoonish and goofy: Last time One Piece was dark and serious was in Water Seven. After that One Piece fall into being overly goofy. One Piece sometimes have a mess up rules like Usopp falling from the tower of Enies Lobby and is still alive but injured but in Thriller Bark as Zoro was falling from an tall heights it was stated that he will die from that fall.
Lack of different powers: Haki and Devil Fruits, Sword Techniques, and Material Arts is getting boring. Would it be neat to see Ninja skills, Chakras, Magic in One Piece?
Lazy Naming: One Piece is riddled with this. Its like Oda was staring at the paper of an character and said "I think I'll name him Killer".
One Piece: We been kept in the dark about the treasure and the Void Century for 15 years and we still don't know what its suppose to look like and what it is.
But One Piece is still interesting and still has some appealing qualities but I wish One Piece would open itself some more and knock it off of those silly names for each characters and bring in some real adventures

Last year in the last few games of the season Vurnon Anita played the best he has ever played for Newcastle United when it really mattered and in that final game against West Ham he was great and second in the Man of the Match voting, only to the incomparable Jonas Gutierrez.
And today Rafa Benitez has heaped praise on the Dutch International, who had an excellent game at right back in the great 3-0 win over Swansea last Saturday.
Rafa is simply delighted with the positive can-do attitude of the 27 year-old who was signed from Ajax in the summer of 2102 and has so far played 95 times for the side with two goals.
Vurnon Anita – he's a player you can trust
This is what Rafa Benitez has said about Vurnon in the Chronicle today:
"He is doing really well. We knew before that he's a player you can trust." "We played him at left-back and he's clever and can adapt well."
"On the right side he's even better because he can push forward and cross well too." "I am really pleased because some players are adapting themselves well to the circumstances and the team."
It seems that Vurnon is a better right back than a central midfielder and he did play for a full season at Ajax at left back – so he's versatile alright.
Vurnon will start at right back tonight and if he plays as well as he did on Saturday in keeping Jefferson Montero quiet, he should start at Liverpool on Saturday – whether or not Daryl Janmaat is fit for the game.
Let's give this player some credit – he always does his best for the team.
Vurnon is certainly a battler and not a bottler and those are the players we need in the team right now.
If we can survive in the Premier League this season – which is still against the odds – players like Vurnon Anita will be the real heroes on Tyneside.
Howay The Lads!!

Tobacco Use Among Teens Rising
Minors are smoking in alarming numbers, and the laws aren't stopping them, according to the CDC.
Despite laws designed to keep cigarettes away from kids, 34 percent of U.S. high school students and 15 percent of middle school students use tobacco products, government health officials say.
According to those figures, more than 3 million kids between the ages of 12 and 17 are lighting up, according to the national survey by the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) Office of Smoking and Health.
The survey, which included students from 29 states, posed a number of questions to teenagers about tobacco marketing, secondhand smoke and underage purchasing, as well as general use of all types of tobacco products.
Although the statistics show the number of teens using tobacco has started to decline from record highs in 1997, experts say the numbers are still disturbing given that nearly 90 percent of adult smokers began using tobacco at or before the age of 18.
"We want to emphasize, while cigarettes are the most lethal form of tobacco, adolescents are using many forms of tobacco, and potentially becoming addicted to nicotine from many sources, and will transition into cigarettes," said Terry Pechacek, head of the survey team and associate director for science with the CDC Office on Smoking and Health.
C-Stores Blamed
According to the survey, most middle and high school smokers get their tobacco at gas stations and convenience stores. While the legal age to buy tobacco is 18 throughout most of the United States, the survey shows current laws to be ineffective. Approximately 69 percent of middle school students and 58 percent of high school students reported they were not asked for proof of age when purchasing cigarettes.
Although the tobacco industry has altered its advertising, ads still lure teens into buying tobacco products, Pechacek alledged.
The study also found one of the "major predictors" of tobacco use to be whether teens spend time with other people who smoke. In the week before the survey, half of the nonsmokers were in a room with someone smoking, and approximately 70 percent of middle school students and 57 percent of high school students who smoke live in a home with a smoker.

My 6½-year-old's favorite carousel happens to be the one at Fox
Valley Mall. If she is good, she gets to take a carousel ride
before we leave. She's trying to ride a new animal each time she
rides, which is probably at least half of them by now.
Nicole Chojnacki
We always ride the carousel at Great America. It's always been
such a beautiful sight, especially at night.
Machelle Anderson
My kids love riding the carousels at Orland Park Mall and Chicago
Ridge Mall. We take them there during the winter months to play in
the play areas and burn off some steam.
Anne Lewis
Our family's favorite carousel is the one inside the
Westfield-Southlake Mall in Merrillville, Ind. (only 45 minutes
away if traffic's not bad). It's an indoor, double-decker, $2,
multi-animal ride with seatbelts on each of them. It's also great
because the mall is home to a FunFlatables location, which only has
open jump (which means it's not closed for private parties-ever!)!
Not to mention the free play area close to the carousel that gives
a little bit of variety and a moment for the adults to sit down and
catch their breath. All in all, totally worth the trip every

A Pandemic is a term used for the global spread of an infectious disease. This occurs a lot of times in zombie fiction and are out of control.
How the pandemic startsEdit
Normally there is a patient zero or it starts as a bioterrorist attack or in the case of the Living Dead series the cause is unknown.

Aloft Airlines is an airline that operates flights from Seattle Tacoma International Airport. It is at least one of the airlines Carly Shay and her father Col.Steven Shay took to get from Seattle to Florence, Italy in the episode "iGoodbye" in season 5. The design of the Airline's logo indicates that it is probably a parody of the real-life airline Virgin America. The airline is seen to operate Airbus A319s and possibly also A320s in Seattle, where the airline also owned a hub.

Have you ever wondered why so-in-so got chosen to be Grant Countian of the Year or this lady or gentlemen were honored by the title of Excellence in Education or Business or even Volunteer of the Year?
It all starts out with a nomination for these annual awards given by the Grant County Chamber of Commerce. You do not have to be a member of the chamber to be a nominator or to be a recipient of these community awards, but you must be nominated.
Kennedy, Crupper extend belated welcome
It was Nov. 15, 1906, when Dry Ridge hosted the birth of the Grant County News. While yet in its infancy, "The News" merged with the Williamstown Courier. The Courier did not survive, but the News made the most of its new surroundings and continued to grow and flourish in Williamstown for 100 years.
I'm fortunate enough to not have any friends or family members whose lives have been wrecked by meth.
Like most, I only knew about the drug from reading story after story about statistics of how big a problem it is in Kentucky.
My only first-hand experience was going to take photos of a couple meth lab cleanups, as men in Haz-Mat suits collected the remnants of what was a working lab right in the middle of an apartment complex.
Work is less fun, fun is more work
How many times have we exclaimed, "Had I know then, what I know now...". If you, like me, are in that group of people who have been sufficiently blessed to have survived declining health and other time imposed limitations, if work is a lot less fun, and fun is a lot more work, we are known as senior citizens. We can dwell in regret for what might have been, or accept the fact that it is what it is and focus on the benefits of our longevity.
I may have the best job in the world, because I get to go on a treasure hunt, and I've already started. What I've found so far has been priceless.
As part of an ongoing series, we will be presenting Grant County's Living Treasures.
Recently, I sat down with Anna Mary Gordon who turned 100 on March 19. I was humbled to be entrusted with her story.
She prospered by hard work, creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit in a time when it was difficult just to do the daily chores required to function and to get from one place to another.

|RE: Job Ads?
|Mon, 11 Aug 2003 08:07:29 GMT
I would prefer not to see job ads on this list: 1. As a resident of the UK, I would regard a mail for a job in California as junk and bin it immediately. Including job ads on this list (it's an international mail list so no advertisor can accuately target their job ad) would leave me in the same position but unable to avoid the junk mail because I want to remain on this list. 2. It may become harder to justify spending work time on this list if it includes commercial emails (although this depends on the volume of commercial emails). If you do allow them could we at least agree: 1. A minimum set of information to be in them e.g. location, (brief) job description, skill set, contact details 2. A standard message subject so that people can automatcially filter them out if they want to. > -----Original Message----- > From: Conor MacNeill [SMTP:email@example.com] > Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 8:13 AM > To: Ant Users List > Subject: Job Ads? > > On Mon, 11 Aug 2003 04:49 pm, abba_test wrote: > > Jakarta ANT, Make Experts needed for CMM level 5 > > > > Skills : Build Tools like Jakarta Ant, Make > > > > We'd like to get some feedback on whether job ads are something the user > community is happy to see on this list. > > In general, such posts come from non-subscribers and therefore need to be > approved by a list moderator before they will appear on the list. > Currently > the list moderators are Stefan and myself.

Perhaps Antoine Polite said it best after
"This is how the season has gone,
just a roller coaster of ups and downs," he said. "This game follows suit with
us coming back multiple times only to see it slip between our fingers. It had
been like this all season with beating
But with that in mind, one game
does still remain, this Saturday back in
And though it will be K-State's last game of the season, it's a game that K-State head coach Bill Snyder said will live to define this football team, depending on how they respond to the loss against the Buffaloes.
"I told them we had two directions to go," he said. "I have said on more than one occasion this year that after ballgames it would truly be a great test of character and I told them this one was probably the greatest test of the character of our football team. This football team will be remembered more than anything else by how they respond to this loss a week from now.
"We have a lot of seniors who are
going to line up and play their last game. Our seniors have not brought the
kind of leadership that we need and it is time for them to step up for their
last one and truly take command of the leadership of this team. We can
Polite said this Saturday's game against the upstart Cyclones is a chance for everyone on the team to come together and get next season started on the right foot.
"Coach said it was important for the seniors to stick together, for us to be with each other for this final game," he said. "He said for us to play this last one for the senior class and to make sure the underclassmen know how important it is to go out on a high note. As disappointing as this was, we can still come out and play with the same pride and character, and get our team started out next year on the right foot."
But while the obvious streak ended was K-State's 11 year run in bowl games, Snyder said there are many more streaks that he's seen ended this year and that he'll have some time to reflect on them after next Saturday.
"I think at some point in time you might reflect back and say we broke another string that was really significant," he said. "But we have had good practice with that. We have broken a lot of strings this year and none of them have been ones that we wanted to break. I am not sure I can remember what it is all about...not to have to prepare for a bowl game."

The next two weekends are shaping up to be huge for Louisville football recruiting. Jermaine Grace, a 6-foot-2 195-pound outside linebacker from Miramar, FL., is one of the many prospects that is expected to visit Louisville in the month of January. Miami is the leader for Grace at this point, but Charlie Strong and the Louisville program aren't too far behind. ESPN & Rivals both rate Grace as a 4-star prospect. He has offers from a number of schools, but is reportedly down to Miami, Louisville, Texas A&M, Tennessee and Florida. Louisville loaded up at the linebacker position in the 2012 class, but Grace is the type of prospect that Charlie Strong would welcome with open arms. The Florida native was named a Semper Fi All-American. At this point it sounds like he'll either be a Cardinal or a Cane.
