Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ I saw this in the Vampire Diaries spot and I also work this on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spot which most of you are probably more familiar with than the Vampire Diaries and thought it be cool to do it here, if your not familiar with Icon contests than this may be even more of a challenge, however this is not like other Icon contests read on to see what you need to know Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ -

The Marion County cross country team traveled to the Kentucky Horse Park in Georgetown Saturday to take part in the Lexington Catholic cross country invitational.
"It was a great day for racing and we were able to compete against some of the top teams in Kentucky at the state meet course," Marion County Coach Daniel Johnson said. "I was glad our kids got to see that kind of environment. I knew it was the biggest race our kids have seen since they've been running, but we responded well."

Does anyone know a mountaineering boot manufacturer producing shoes for overpronators (and possibly underpronators), in other words people with flat feet ? (small or non existent plantar arch)
Well, this is a bit my case, which led me to purchase overpronator running shoes, which I find great. Many running shoes manufacturers (for example Asics) do and it's getting more and more popular in this domain, so I was wondering if and which hiking boot manufacturers launched a range of products fulfilling this requirements. My current shoes are standard insole, despite I feel very well in them my ankles and plantar arch tend to feel soar after long hikes when I have not walked for a long time.
My question is valid for low hiking shoes (not covering ankles) as well as high boots (typical mountain shoes covering the ankle)
Thanks for the advice !

Dusted off your comic books lately? You might not have needed to, since almost every one of them, from superhero stories to grimy graphic novels, has been made into a movie in the last 15 years. This summer's blockbuster season is chock-full of comic book adaptations, so come on out of your mother's basement and check them out.
Iron Man 3 -- May 3
Robert Downey Jr. continues his reign as the ultimate comeback kid when he dons the Iron Man suit for the fourth time (not including his cameo at the end of The Incredible Hulk). This time, billionaire playboy Tony Stark faces off against international superterrorist The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), his most famous comic book foe. Expect some cool action sequences and a lot of pithy one-liners by Stark.
Man of Steel -- June 14
The new Superman reboot has a lot going for it -- an underrated director (Zach Snyder, Watchmen), a story by the Romulus and Remus of edgy, super-serious comic book films (Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer, The Dark Knight), the casting of Michael Shannon as the bad guy and Christopher Meloni as anyone.
Hopefully they can avoid the stupid pitfalls of the typical Superman story, like the over-abundance of Krypton available on Earth or Superman's lame ability to turn back time by flying around the planet, which ruined the 1978 movie. Oh, something went wrong, Superman? Just take a quick jaunt around Earth and fix it. God, didn't Doc Brown teach you that time travel has consequences?
The Lone Ranger -- July 3
The Lone Ranger, the famous masked vigilante from the American Old West, has appeared in many iterations, including radio, television, comics and novels, yet none of its films ever made an impact. Walt Disney Pictures is hoping that changes after it sunk a reported $250 million into The Lone Ranger, which stars Armie Hammer as the title character and Johnny Depp as Tonto.
R.I.P.D. -- July 19
Based on the comic book Rest In Peace Department, the new film R.I.P.D. follows Ryan Reynolds as a recently slain cop who joins up with a group of zombie police officers to find his killer. The movie, which also stars Jeff Bridges and Kevin Bacon, was filmed in Boston a couple years ago, taking over Milk Street with oodles of debris and fake blood -- that's your tax dollars at work, Massachusetts residents.
The Wolverine -- July 26
This will be Hugh Jackman's fifth time playing the mutant warrior Wolverine in the X-Men film series and second time headlining his own movie (after 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine). This time he encounters a ton of samurai on a trip to Japan. How jealous are you that Wolverine can scratch those hard-to-get-to spots on his back with his claws and you can't?
300: Rise of an Empire -- August 2
If the two-hour homoerotic bloodbath that was the first 300 wasn't enough for you, 300: Rise of an Empire will be 147 minutes -- and 3-D! King Leonidas and the rest of those pesky Spartans are dead, so the sequel will focus on the Battle of Artemisium, a sea engagement between the Greeks and the Persians, still led by androgynous god-king Xerxes.
Kick-Ass 2 -- August 16
The most violent, outrageous and hilarious teenage superheroes return with a sequel to 2010's Kick-Ass, based on the comic series by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. The titular hero Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) gets recruited by a new masked crime-fighting team led by Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey, replacing Nic Cage in the scenery-chewing department), who should have picked a shorter name. His partner Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) mulls retirement while Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse, a.k.a., McLovin) plans revenge and gives himself a new, unprintable name.

WHO SHOULD BE WARMED? The answer is simple - Everyone.
Anesthetized patients can't regulate their temperature. Research shows that core body temperature drops rapidly following the induction of general anesthesia, increasing the risk for unintended hypothermia - an all-too common and costly complication associated with higher mortality rates, longer hospital stays and an increased rate of wound infection.
Forced-air warming is a simple, cost-effective method to prevent unintended hypothermia and its complications.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi State University has chosen a new contractor to preserve a former cotton mill as part of a commercial development.
The College Board voted Thursday to sell 1.1 acres near what MSU calls the Cooley Building to developer Mark Castleberry for $460,000.
The Starkville structure was built in 1902.
Castleberry plans to develop a Courtyard by Marriott or similar hotel at the site.
The sale will only be completed if MSU can reach a deal with Castleberry for renovation of the Cooley Building and development of adjoining MSU property.
In 2010, the College Board approved a plan by developer Mark Nicholas of Ridgeland that called for the Cooley Building to be renovated into a convention center. After the contract with Nicholas expired, MSU called for new proposals and chose Castleberry.

An interesting though somewhat difficult new book by Anglican thinker Myron Penner contains an anecdote regarding a Congolese-Canadian theologian by the name of Dr. Mabiala Kenzo.
Kenzo had delivered a lecture to faculty and students at an evangelical Christian college about how Jesus is portrayed by modern African theologians and writers. Afterward, a student expressed concern: Before they begin trying to understand Jesus through their own culture, he said, shouldn't Africans first affirm the formula regarding Jesus' two natures (divine and human) that had been devised at the Council of Chalcedon in A.D. 451?
According to that formula, Jesus is "truly God and truly man, of a rational soul and body; consubstantial with the Father according to the Godhead, and consubstantial with us according to the Manhood ... one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, only begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures, inconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, inseparably; the distinction of natures being by no means taken away by the union, but rather the property of each nature being preserved, and concurring in one Person and one Subsistence, not parted or divided into two persons, but one and the same Son, and only begotten God, the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ."
Kenzo responded to the student with an excellent question of his own: "Must I, as an African, first study and learn Greek philosophy and master its conceptual categories before I can convert to Christianity and believe in Jesus?"
This certainly isn't how the New Testament describes the conversion and calling of apostles, let alone of ordinary Christians. The Bible commands neither philosophical study nor theological training. Consider this passage, for example:
"Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets. And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him" (Mark 1:16-20).
Penner, who knows Kenzo, suggests that a childhood experience lies behind the question with which the Congolese theologian responded to the student's concern.
In order to be considered a citizen of his own country, to be able to travel freely within what was then known as the Belgian Congo, to hold an official job and get a passport, Kenzo's father, who was a respected man in their community, had to be "naturalized" by Belgian officials.
Two officials visited his home to observe the family eating with knives and forks and following European etiquette while sitting in chairs at a Western-style table rather than sitting on the ground, African-style, and using their fingers.
The final test was for Kenzo's father to accompany one of the officials into the living room while the other remained in the kitchen. They were then to converse in French, loud enough that the man still sitting at the table could hear it.
If the officer in the kitchen was unable to tell which one was speaking — that is, if Kenzo's father could speak Belgian-accented French well enough — naturalization would be granted, and he would receive a coveted matriculation card and become a legal citizen of the country in which he'd been born.
In the Belgian Congo of the 1950s, when native Congolese were finally permitted by colonial authorities to travel out of the country, the Belgians created two categories: The "evolues" or "evolved" were contrasted with the "indigenes" or "indigeneous." Only the "evolues," those who held the matriculation card that Kenzo's father was obliged to earn, could eat in white men's restaurants, drink in white men's pubs or journey overseas.
To Kenzo, as Penner tells the story, the insistence that Africans must understand Jesus by means of a fifth-century Greek creed, rather than on the basis of their own encounter with the Savior in the New Testament and their own prayers, seemed just one more specimen of foreign imperialism. And, frankly, it's hard to blame him for that.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Radian Group ( RDN) received two price-target increases from equity analysts and an upgrade from a debt analyst. FBR Capital Markets analyst Steve Stelmach focused on improved 2013 guidance in raising his price target to $8 from $6, as the bond insurer's management said its risk-to-capital ratio should remain below 25:1. Radian also cited operating profitability and a growing business. Despite increased competition, Stelmach says the mortgage insurance industry is poised to grow. The growth comes partly from price hikes by the Federal Housing Administration aimed at slowly reducing the government's role in mortgage insurance. Also, Stelmach argues private insurers are increasingly focused on writing new business rather than mitigating losses left over from the housing bubble. "Radian seems to be on the cusp of finding its footing," Stelmach writes, though he reiterated his "market perform" rating, arguing the stock has come too far too fast. Indeed, Radian shares have more than doubled in the past six months. Radian did get an upgrade on Monday from Creditsights, which raised its recommendation to "market perform" from "underperform." That applied only to the company's bonds, however, as Creditsights analysts Rob Haines and Eric Axon argued Radian will be able to pay its debt through at least 2017. The note also indicated the analysts prefer Radian's bonds to those of MGIC Investment Corp. ( MTG), another mortgage insurer. In an email, however, Haines wrote that while Creditsights does not have a price target on the equity, "it looks expensive to us. There has been a major run up in price over past year ... this is still a company that has not made money in years. Trading at almost book value seems pretty overdone to us." Radian also saw its price target lifted to $6 from $5 by Susquehanna Financial Group, which maintained a "neutral" rating. Susquehanna's report couldn't be obtained. Radian shares were up 0.9% to $6.57 on Tuesday. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York Follow @dan_freed

Android Trojan Sends Messages to Your Contacts Labeling You a Pirate
The Trojan version of Walk and Text pretends to unlock itself, but really sends your personal information to a server elsewhere and then SMS messages everyone in your contacts telling them you're a pirate.
PCMag reviews products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use.
Android has had its fair share of malware issues lately, including a spate of Trojans masquerading as apps in the Android App Market (which Google quickly removed,) but this Trojan isn't the kind you'll find through official channels. The mobile app Walk and Text, which allows you to send text messages to your friends while using your phone's camera to see where you're walking, has been pirated enough times that some rogue Android developer (not affiliated with the company behind the app, to our knowledge) has built a version of the app that's actually a Trojan.
The version of the app, 1.3.7 - one that doesn't exist officially - actually records private data from your phone, sends it to an external server, and then sends SMS messages to your contacts to let them know you're a pirate and a cheapskate.
When you install the Walk and Text Trojan - which is only available if you were trying to pirate it in the first place, so no worries you'd stumble on it through legitimate channels - the app appears to take a few moments upon first run to "activate" or "unlock" itself. What the app is really doing during that time, according to Symantec, is fetching your phones IMEI number, telephone number, and your name and sending it to an external server that's presumably owned by the people that built the app.
When the process is finished and the data is away, the next thing the Trojan does is send an SMS message to everyone in your contacts list with a phone number that says "Hey, just downloaded a pirated app off the Internet, Walk and Text for Android. I'm stupid and cheap, it cost only 1 buck. Don't steal like I did!" When it's finished, it shows you a warning screen that the application isn't licensed, and that "We really hope you learned something from this. Check your phone bill."
The Trojan has caused debate in some circles, usually around the "pirates get what they deserve" versus the "no one deserves this" mentality. It's not the first app that does something punitive to get back at app pirates and it'll likely not be the last, but the moral of the story is to steer clear of unofficial and pirated apps in the first place.

Arisaph Pharmaceuticals Reports Positive Results From Two Safety Clinical Trials For Its Niacin Analog (ARI-3037MO)
By: PR Newswire
Nov. 7, 2012 03:24 PM
BOSTON, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Arisaph Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today during an oral presentation at the American Heart Association (AHA) meeting in Los Angeles, CA that its niacin analog, ARI-3037MO, was extremely well tolerated in a single-ascending dose (SAD) and a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) trial in healthy male and female volunteers. The results showed that ARI-3037MO did not provoke flushing or any other adverse skin changes, nor did it cause increases in liver enzymes or blood glucose at doses up to 6 grams per day. In both clinical trials, ARI-3037MO also demonstrated encouraging lipid effects. Based on these promising results, ARI-3037MO potentially represents a transformational, new niacin-like option for treatment of patients with dyslipidemia, especially in the setting of metabolic syndrome, a disorder that afflicts as many as 70 million Americans1.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110321/NE69091LOGO )
"The absence of flushing and other niacin induced adverse events highlights a differentiated safety profile for our novel niacin analog," said Christopher P. Kiritsy, Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Arisaph Pharmaceuticals. "Moreover, the evidence of lipid changes in such short duration trials in healthy volunteers shows that our preclinical efficacy data are translating and breeds optimism for the development of our best-in-class niacin analog."
In two placebo controlled, safety and pharmacokinetic trials (SAD and MAD), 58 healthy male and female volunteers were given either single escalating doses of ARI-3037MO (up to 6 grams per day) or repeat escalating doses of ARI-3037MO (up to 3.5 grams per day) for 14 days. In both trials, ARI-3037MO was given once daily without a titration scheme. The results showed that ARI-3037MO was extremely well tolerated with no treatment-related adverse events. Specifically, treatment with ARI-3037MO did not show any evidence of flushing or adverse skin changes, such as itching or rash, using a validated visual-analog scale. Additionally, no deleterious changes in liver enzymes or blood glucose were observed with ARI-3037MO, even when given at high doses in a repeat-dose setting.
The pharmacokinetics of ARI-3037MO revealed that the drug was well absorbed orally and showed good dose proportionality. In both clinical trials, ARI-3037MO produced encouraging lipid signals. For example, a single dose of 6 grams of ARI-3037MO produced a 15% increase in HDL and attenuated the postprandial increase in serum triglycerides (TGs). In the MAD trial, the 2g and 3.5g doses of ARI-3037MO decreased LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) from baseline and improved post-prandial triglycerides by more than 30% compared with placebo. Such lipid trends are encouraging considering that the trials were short-duration, safety and pharmacokinetic studies in healthy volunteers and would not be expected to show pharmacodynamic effects.
"Niacin's efficacy across a broad range of lipid risk factors has long been recognized but flushing and increases in blood glucose have limited its use, particularly in high risk metabolic syndrome patients," commented Dr. Ernst Schaefer, Professor of Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine. "The results from these two safety trials show that ARI-3037MO is devoid of such dose-limiting side effects, resulting in a significantly improved safety and tolerability profile compared with other niacin-based therapies."
In preclinical studies presented at the AHA in 2011, ARI-3037MO showed robust changes in lipids, including LDL-C, HDL-C and triglycerides. For example, once-daily treatments of ARI-3037MO lowered LDL-C in excess of 50% and lowered TGs by more than 70% compared with placebo in high-fat-fed hamster models. Additionally, non-clinical toxicology studies conducted in dogs and rats with ARI-3037MO showed that high exposure multiples could be achieved without serious adverse events, even at doses greater than 1000 mg per kilogram. The favorable preclinical safety and efficacy data reveal that ARI-3037MO has an extremely wide therapeutic index, indicating that ARI-3037MO will not be dose limited by adverse events. Consequently, it is expected that patients will be able to achieve improved efficacy observed with higher doses of niacin.

THIS is the left cerebral hemisphere of an 18-month-old infant who lived some 800 years ago. Such finds are extremely rare, because nervous tissue is soft and normally begins to decompose soon after death, so this specimen is unique in that it has been far better preserved than any other.

We end our series on the three CTA members among the 2013 California Teachers of the Year by featuring Veronica Marquez, fifth-grade teacher at Harmony Elementary School in Los Angeles. This United Teachers Los Angeles member teaches gifted students, sheltered English immersion, and bilingual education. A National Board Certified teacher, she has extensive experience providing staff development, mentorships and training for other teachers.
Favorite classroom strategies
My English learners benefit from grouping configurations, so my students move from whole group to small groups to partners. Whole class allows me to introduce key vocabulary, model and review to provide a shared experience for everyone. Small groups provide multiple perspectives and encourage collaboration. Working as partners allows students to practice what they learned. Visual aids make my instruction meaningful; I use pictures, charts, graphs, PowerPoint presentations and skits to introduce, reinforce and clarify points and create interest, increasing students' understanding and retention level.
Favorite classroom resources
I use literature and music to create an environment in which students want to learn. Books I provide for students' reading pleasure are rich in vocabulary and content so they learn and develop an appreciation for literature. Songs relate to the themes or time era we're discussing. Others focus on poetry or figurative language. Students create their own songs using key terms they are learning about. I've had students write songs about the solar system, what it was like to grow up during the civil rights movement, and most importantly themselves. Music makes learning fun and interesting!
Favorite Internet links
Www.readwritethink.org offers free K-12 materials in reading and language arts instruction. Www.pinterest.com is a social network to find, organize, save and share interesting images and visual ideas.
Words to live by
Stand up and rise! I stand up and rise for my profession and focus on my students. I mold the future by impacting students' views and understanding. I stand up to classroom challenges. I rise above mandated policies and teach the child — not because test scores matter, but because students matter.
On having a mentor
I am a reflection of the countless teachers who mentored me throughout my teaching career, especially Violet Rodriguez-Preciado. I could not have survived my first years without her encouragement and wisdom. Through her example and guidance, I defined a clear vision of the type of educator I wanted to become.
Favorite book for professional development or classroom use
The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown. The book features two-page spreads that take ordinary objects and describe important things about them. Students write poems and essays throughout the year that focus on important things about themselves, the unit we're studying, famous individuals, or past and current events.
Why I stay in teaching
The rewards of teaching are immeasurable. I help children develop an appreciation for learning. The "aha!" factor, when I see the exact moment that students understand, is magic. It is the pure satisfaction of watching my students bloom into the scholars they were meant to be. I make a difference.

A collection of 37 t-shirts is going to be hanging in the Redwood Falls Public Library starting Aug. 15 as part of a project raising awareness to the issues of domestic violence.
A collection of 37 t-shirts is going to be hanging in the Redwood Falls Public Library starting August 15 as part of a project raising awareness to the issues of domestic violence. While the number itself is significant, what brings the project closer to home are recognizable names. Among those killed as a result of domestic violence in 2013 were Kara Monson and Chris Panitzke. Shirts honoring their memory are going to be hanging in the library. Known as the Clothesline Project, the effort to bring attention to the realities of domestic violence began in Massachusetts in 1990 when women in that area decided it was important to memorialize those who had been killed and to help others see just how much of an issue domestic violence is. The Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women began the Clothesline Project in Minnesota in 1992. Denise Kerkhoff of the New Horizons Crisis Center said she has been hoping to bring this traveling display to the Redwood area for some time, adding the local connection made this a good time for it to come.
According to Kerkhoff, the Clothesline Project display is going to be at the library through Aug. 21 and is then going to be moving to Renville where it is going to be on display during the golf tournament honoring Kara Monson and Chris Panitzke at Stoney Creek Golf Course. That event is scheduled to be held Aug. 23, with proceeds being used for future domestic violence assistance in the surrounding area. "Last year was a tough year in Minnesota," said Kerkhoff. The Clothesline Project offers that somber reminder of the realities of domestic violence, and Kerkhoff said it also helps people see this is not just an issue that is happening elsewhere. Domestic violence is an issue that impacts women, children and men, said Kerkhoff, adding the impact of seeing children's t-shirts as part of the Clothesline Project is very moving. The Clothesline Project display at the library is being sponsored by the New Horizons Crisis Center, and Kerkhoff said those who would like to bring a group to the library and hear more about the issues of domestic violence can request a presentation from her. Those who are interested are encouraged to contact Kerkhoff at (507) 637-5570, or one can send her an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. More about the project can be found online at www.mbcw.org. All are encouraged to visit the Clothesline Project display, and Kerkhoff said even older elementary aged children can take something away from seeing the display. If you are someone who is in need of help or you know someone in need contact the New Horizons Crisis Center.

Since the December massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., which left 20 children and six adult staffers dead, parents across the nation have worried about the safety and security of their children — a concern that grows especially acute during school hours.
On Tuesday, in response to a joint letter signed by the Parent Teacher Association presidents of John M. Marshall Elementary School and the East Hampton Middle School, East Hampton Village officials decided to reinstate a part-time police officer at both schools. The letter had received "overwhelming parental support," according to Wendy Geehreng, who heads the middle school PTA.
"In 2013, we live in a different world. Our K-12 students are taught on cue to get to a safe place as quickly as possible. They know what 'lockout' and 'lockdown' mean," read the letter, co-signed by Erica Hren of John Marshall's PTA. "We, as parents, know for many reasons, Sandy Hook could have happened here or anywhere else. We are not immune to the dangers. We, as parents, ask that the village, for the safety of the children and teachers, place an officer in our schools to serve as a DARE officer, and to also be a police presence."
Starting next week, a part-time police officer will patrol both the elementary and middle schools.
For years, a full-time DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) officer circulated between the two schools. Last spring, the village voted to eliminate the position, citing both the questionable effectiveness of the DARE program and budgetary constraints.
"After the incident at Sandy Hook, some of the parents decided that they would feel better if they had more police presence. We discussed it as a board, and decided there was a relevance to that," said Richard Lawler, a village board member. The village officer who patrols both campuses at the beginning and end of the school day will continue to do so, he said, and to make periodic drop-in visits as in the past.
The village did not allocate money to pay for the increased police presence. "Chief Larsen will carry it out with the budget that he has," Mr. Lawler said.
The chief confirmed that one of his three detectives would now be assigned to patrol the two schools for three days each week.
"Manpower-wise, we're at a minimum now," he said. "We are going to accommodate it, but it's putting us in an awkward situation. We'll now be running with two detectives. It's the only way I could do it and not pay overtime."
As things stand, said Chief Larsen, the town and village forces are training together. "God forbid, were something to happen, it will be a joint effort."
East Hampton High School, which is outside village limits, has a town police officer assigned to the high school five days a week.
"The saying that it takes a village to raise a child rings true here. Our village of East Hampton, under the leadership of Mayor Rickenbach, the village board, and Chief Gerry Larsen took a great step in improving the safety and welfare of the children this week," said Ms. Geehreng. "For this, we are truly grateful."
Talk of increased school security similarly ruled the night at Tuesday evening's East Hampton School Board meeting. The board ultimately voted 5-1 to hire Michael J. Guido Jr., a Rocky Point-based architect, to perform "security audits" at each of the three schools, at a cost of $18,000. Mr. Guido has worked with the district on past projects.
Jackie Lowey took issue with the contract, calling it a "sole-source contract" that had not been put out to bid. She was the only board member to vote against it. "It's a lot of money for a small school district," she said.
Mr. Guido estimated his costs at around $6,000 per building. "We'll look at the doors, fences, are there places for people to hide, are the structures safe from an automobile intrusion. We'll go through procedures with staff, interview police, ask people how things are handled, how they handle visitors, attendance, whether it's an open or closed campus."
Superintendent Richard J. Burns said he had met with school administrators, head custodians, and the village and town police chiefs in the weeks following Sandy Hook. "Everybody has a prescription about what we should do, what we're lacking, what we're not lacking. Should there be locks on doors, shades on the windows. The responses have been astronomical," he said. "It makes the most sense to have an architect that's familiar with the community and will give us an appraisal that's well beyond a bureaucratic response."
Time is of the essence, said the superintendent. "We need a comprehensive plan. Let's stop with the Band-Aids. What we need is a unified vision."

New puppy - waking up a lot overnight!
I need some help....I'm sleep deprived and starting to break down - and feeling stressed out whenever I want to go to bed.
About a week and a half ago, we got a boxer puppy - she's a female, and turns 10 weeks old today (she was 8.5 weeks old / 2 months old when we got her). Each night we put her in her crate and she falls asleep for a few hours, and then from that point on - usually from about 12:30 / 1:00 a.m. until we get up around 5:30 a.m - she gets us up every 45 minutes to 1 hour. Each time we get up and let her out in the backyard (to ensure she doesn't have an accident in her crate) and she seems to be going to the bathroom each time.
Is going out for the bathroom this frequently (at this age) normal, or is she just trying to get herself out of the crate? I've read that if you take a puppy's age in months and add 1, that's generally the number of hours that they should be able to hold their bathroom habits - e.g. my puppy is 2 months old, so she should be able to hold it for 3 hours. Does this "rule" only apply when the puppy is a bit older - is she just too young to even attempt to hold it at all?
Are we doing anything wrong, are we missing a critical step in this process? We also have a 3.5 year old male boxer who (now) is completely trained and reliable in the house. I remember when he was a puppy, he also woke us up at night, but I think it was only a couple of times at most, and that only lasted for a couple of weeks. I don't think we're doing anything different in how we're treating/training the new puppy compared to our first dog (although I think he may have been closer to 11 weeks old when we first brought him home).
Can anyone reassure me that this will get better? Any tips on how to get her to settle for longer periods of time at night? Someone please tell me this will get better real soon!!!......Thanks.
some pups can hold it longer, but the rule of thumb is an hour per month plus one, I was lucky, at 10 weeks mine would hold it all night, how much exercise is your pup getting before bed? Boxers like labs need lots of exercise, a tired dog is a good dog remember. at 10 weeks we would do a half hour "soft walk" meaning no running and walking on grass, then 1/2 hour of play time, ball chasing, kid chasing etc and finally about 15-20 minutes of obedience training, this really tires them out because you're working their brain.
We're kinda going through the same thing. We got a Pug/Beagle mix around the same time you got your pup. Trust me, I'm feeling the same as you, I'm pretty strung out right now. Our puppy typically wakes us up twice during the night to go outside, but does have the occasional accident in our room. I've been told multiple times that things will get better soon, so I guess I'll pass those sentiments along to you as well.
Hi Sunaj52,
I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this - as much as it sucks, at least it makes all of this feel more normal. I can withstand the multiple wake-ups, but just hope it'll be a much shorter term thing than longer term!
puppy exhaustion
You have hit the point I call puppy exhaustion, I have been there myself, and some of the new owners of foster pups I have adopted out have hit it as well. At this point, some call me in tears, "I can't do this anymore, you have to come get him/her." I have never had to take one back. I have had to go stay at their house for a night so they could get some sleep. Not to worry, it will get better. Make sure you remove water sources 2 hours before bedtime, including toilet lids down! You may think she can't reach it, but you might be surprised. Also, make sure that when she does wake up to potty at night, there is not play time, it is all business then back to bed. Good luck and enjoy the pup!
Allie the shy dog
Benny the failed foster
ShazBot shelter mutt
I've actually heard from a couple different sources (Trainers, vets) that you shouldn't restrict a puppies water access during the night. That being said, everything I've read online regarding housebreaking recomends it. So I'm slightly confused as to what we should be doing. I know when we did take the water away 2 hours before bed she'd only wake us up once, but I'm not sure if it's o.k. to do that to the pup or not.
Hi Melinda,
We haven't started walking the pup yet as we're waiting for her second round of vaccinations (which will be in about 2 weeks), per the advice of our vet. (I can't wait to get her out walking!) Otherwise, she plays a ton with our 3 year old boxer - chasing each other around the yard, running after balls, and a lot of the puppy pouncing on the older one - and both are pretty crashed out in the evening. As I can't wait for her to be crate-trained and potty-trained, I've been trying to do some training with her as well. Thanks for the tips!

Have three markers for sale:
1. E-mag AGD 1.37, X-valve & kit, charger, shocktech drop forward, J&J ceramic barrel, 68/4500 smart parts max flow tank with neoprene cover (only one year left on tank hence lower price). $475
2. Mini mag, E-valve, level 10 bolt & kit, mini mag barrel, fore grip, ss hose. $200
3. 68 Classic Mag, Palmer CO2 stabilizer, RT barrel, ss quick disconnect, extra bolt. $125 (add a level 10 bolt and this is one of the nicest CO2 markers you will find under $200)
4. Felon titanium 9" barrel green powdercoat for R or L feed twist lock. $50
Some info from here: http://web.archive.org/web/199902101...ges.com/felon/
"FELON Barrels: as published by Industry News: July 1, 1995
There is a new high quality barrel on the market. The Felon Barrel for both the autococker and automag greatly increases accuracy and range, while at the same time being very silent and air effictient. These one piece barrels are machined from aero-space grade, aluminum rods, then plated with nickel. The result is a very strong, high quality barrel that will never tarnish and resists scratching. Combining the mirror like polish with the smaller holes on the sides allows the barrel to more rapidly clear itself of paint. Already a success in the MidWest, the FELON Barrel has proven to be the next revolution in the paintball industry.
FELON BARRELS are manufactured using the same technique
and the same high quality materials used in the aerospace and defense industries.
There seems to be conflicting evidence that these barrels were made from both titanium and aluminum/nickel. If anyone has additional info to share I would appreciate it. I will see if I can test for Ti vs Al later sometime this week.
Equipment was adult owned and maintained until it was shelved a few years back. I upgraded to the X-valve and E-valve with level 10 shortly before getting out of the sport so both are like new with all carriers and o-rings from kit. Markers will probably need some oil and tuning to get in top shape.
Only looking to sell, no trades.
Am in 92109 San Diego if local.


text: The references for AD5602/AD5612/AD5622 are derived from the power supply inputs to give the widest dynamic output range. Each part incorporates a power-on reset circuit that ensures the DAC output powers up to 0 V and remains there until a valid write takes place to the device. The parts contain a power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of the devices to <150 nA at 3 V and provides software-selectable output loads while in power-down mode. The parts are put into power-down mode over the serial interface. The low power consumption of the AD5602/AD5612/AD5622 in normal operation makes them ideally suited for use in portable battery-operated equipment. The typical power consumption is 0.4 mW at 5 V.

Trees are turning orange and yellow, the days are getting shorter, and the air smells like campfires and wet leaves. And that means taps are flowing with fall brews, and bartenders are mixing drinks laced with cinnamon, orange, and clove. Here are our picks for the best places to knock back a fall-appropriate drink.
• Canon: The so-called whiskey and bitters emporium feels cozy when it's cold out, with dark wood shelving behind the bar and moody lighting. Canon's drinks menu changes seasonally, so right now you can sip cocktails laden with apple, rhubarb, orange, and cinnamon. Try the Campfire in Georgia, made with mescal, peach-habanero shrub, orange juice, and cinnamon French oak; Washington's Mule, concocted with apple brandy, lime, ginger beer, and bitters; or the Coraje, made with rum, bonal, coffee, and a kiss of orange and angostura bitters.
• Capitol Cider: With apples in season, bellying up to a cider bar seems particularly apropos. The current tap list includes Washington and Oregon ciders like Finnriver's tart and semisweet Black Currant, Sixknot Organic Semi Dry, Snowdrift Cliffbreaks, Anthem Cherry, and Tieton Dry Hopped.
• RN74: The downtown restaurant and lounge has a few specialty fall cocktails on their list right now. Rise Into Fall mixes a spiced rum with cherries, and the TDH 13 combines dark and dry cider, Overholt rye, maple syrup, and orange and lemon juices. I'm Only Happy When It Rains is particularly fetching, with its Bulleit bourbon, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice, and pinot noir, all served in a burgundy glass.
• The Saint: Because sometimes, when the weather turns cold and the days short, you need to remember what summer feels like. The tropical environs of The Saint are sure to thaw your soul, especially when you order the hermano margarita, which is practically sunshine in a glass.

FREDERICK, Md.—Despite a five-point night from Donny Delpha (Walpole, Mass.), UMass Boston lacrosse fell 10-7 to Hood College (3-6) Thursday evening at Thomas Athletic Field.
Delpha finished with two goals and three assists on the night, to record a new season-high for assists and points on the season.
Thomas Pettiti (Quincy, Mass.) added his second career hat trick, while Ryan McGoff (Charlestown, Mass.) accounted for the final two tallies for the Beacons.
In net, senior Henry Bristol (South Hadley, Mass.) made 11 saves on 21 shots and picked up a team-high 10 of the Beacons 44 groundballs.
Randolph Clark led seven Blazers scorers with a hat trick of his own for Hood, who led the contest from start to finish.
The Blazers jumped out to a 4-0 lead 25 minutes into the contest, only to have the Beacons respond back with three of their own, to make it a 4-3 game less than three minutes into the second half.
The two teams traded goals over the course of the next 15 minutes, with both teams finding the back of the net three times.
Hood finally put the game away in the fourth quarter, as they outscored UMB 3-1 over the final 11:07, to pull out an 10-7 win.
The Blazers outshot the Beacons 39-29 and held a 49-44 edge in groundballs. Both teams recorded three extra-man goals, with UMB finishing 3-for-5, while the Blazers ended the game 3-for-7.
UMass Boston will finish their Mid-Atlantic weekend trip with Saturday when they play at Catholic University at 2 p.m.

"There's no better way to get to know the courses that we play during season," says senior Colleen Casey. "Playing in summer and fall tournaments give me the chance to improve and really work on my mental game."
Casey will be the senior leader of the 2015 Ladycat Golf team. An experienced team player, Casey has qualified and traveled to their state tournament her sophomore and junior years with finishing 19th overall.
Early in the summer Casey participated in the Colorado Junior Golf Association (CJGA) 2-day tournament that was hosted at the Estes Park 18-hole golf course. It was the first year that Estes has hosted an event for the junior golf association. Casey and Evan Richmond were the only two Estes players to participate in the tournament. Casey finished 12th overall in that tournament, with her two-day scores of 91 and 87.
"I was just not hitting the ball well," said Casey.
In July, Casey paired up with Loveland high school player Erin Sergeant to participate in another CJGA event. The 2-Ball tournament was played at Legacy Ridge golf course. Casey/Sergeant finished 8th overall. "Erin and I know each other through high school competition and we both use the same Swing Coach in Loveland," said Casey. "It was a lot of fun to play with her."
Last week, Casey participated in the Rocky Mountain Junior Golf Tournament, which was held at Highland Meadows. "I finished tied for 4th overall, but more importantly I was really happy with my game," said Casey. "It's a really hard course and I've never shot under 90 there." During the 2-day tournament, Casey shot an 87 and 84. "I was able to improve my game for the second day. I was really hitting well."
Her off-season tournament play isn't over. She in entered to play in the Heritage Tournament at Westmore Golf Course in Broomfield, July 23-24, which is a long course with many challenges. "As long as I keep my head in the game at Heritage, I expect to play well."
Casey will continue to play throughout the Fall season and participate in tournaments as well. "Our Estes golf courses are at their best in the Fall and I intend to take full advantage of them."
Casey has hopes to play golf in college, "possibly in a division 2 program." She intends to rock her senior year as a Ladycat Golf team leader, qualifying and finishing higher in the State tournament.
"I love golf. It's always changing, it's always a challenge and it never gets easier. I enjoy the challenge of always trying to do better and it's always fun!"

This article on iPod clickwheel explains the principle of how capacitive sensing works. But how would I go about connecting one of these to Arduino?Should I simply abandon the idea? Thanks!
I had the idea that it might not be too much of a hassle to implement a scroll wheel with just an Arduino. You would only need one "send" pin and maybe four or five "receive" pins, all linked to the send pin with 1 M resistors. You would then send a "burst" (cycle of square waves) from the send pin, to each receive pin (in order). After reading each pin (see the reference) it would be flipped to an input with pinMode().
This is to be used as a "jogwheel" for an edit controller I'm building.
Does it have to be one of the Ipod wheels ?Couldn't you do the same with an ordinary rotary encoder, maybe with a large knob on it ?
If anyone's interested, I could write it up and convert it from AVR assembler to Arduino sketch code.

It started filming a year ago. The wrap party happened last April. So, why isn't there confirmation on a release date for "Bel Ami"?
The distribution company, the UK-based Optimum Releasing, issued a non-committal press release late last year. It named August 2011 as the date for the UK release, but immediately qualified the date with a "TBC" (To Be Confirmed"). Since that time, there has been nothing from any official source to indicate the timing of the release of the film. Consequently, it has been listed as being in post-production for months.
The delay comes as a disappointment to many Robert Pattinson fans, who are feverish to see the star in more non-Twilight roles. Though the Brit is not the biggest star acting in the film (Oscar nominees Uma Thurman and Kristen Scott Thomas co-star, as does Golden Globe nominee Christina Ricci), he is currently one of Hollywood's hottest, outranking his co-stars on the IMDB StarMeter by several hundred or more points.

RICHMOND – An overnight fire on Tuesday caused $30,000 worth of damage to a former chiropractic care center in Richmond, according to the Richmond Township Fire Protection District.
Crews were called to the 5600 block of Hill Road at around 1:30 a.m. after the driver of a recycling truck in that area smelled smoke coming from a building, fire officials said. Firefighters arrived to find smoke billowing from the roof.
An active fire was later found in the basement of the building.
It had spread to the first floor of the commercial estate into the roof area.
Firefighters had the blaze under control in about a half hour.
The fire is believed to have started in the basement from a malfunctioning fluorescent light bulb, officials said.
No one was injured.
Crws from Spring Grove, Wonder Lake, Hebron, Antioch, Fox Lake, Nunda Rural, Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Marengo and Randall, Wis., assisted with the incident.
The investigation is ongoing.

Hey all,
So we found this forum a little over a month ago, while frantically searching for information on keeping fish. A little background - hubby (bolsen27) hasn't ever had fish, but I (tobinkinz) actually dabbled a bit in breeding guppies while in college, oh, about 10+ years ago. By dabbled, I mean that I couldn't have any furry pets in the dorm room but we were allowed fish, so I kept a 10 gallon with some male and female guppies and got excited when I saw fry swimming about. My mom had a 20 gallon tank for several years, but I didn't remember that much about it.
Our first attempt was what brought us to this forum, in an effort to learn more about the hobby. We have a 20 gal tall that is now finally cycled no thanks to us doing everything completely backwards. Fortunately only lost 2 false julii corys, and I wonder if they weren't the best stock to start with.
I have really enjoyed reading through the tank journals, especially brhino and MCHRKiller. I have no doubt that this journal will pale in comparison, but I have good standards to live up to!

Question: Transmission/speedometer
I'm a delivery driver. I have an automatic transmission, my car has 88,000 miles on it. Today while driving my Pontiac, I heard some strange clanking while slowing down to stop. When I went to accelerate, my car did not want to shift up to the next gear. When I press the gas pedal, it sounds like I'm pressing it in neutral but it still drove. Also, the speedometer went out at the same time- it is stuck at zero. When I could finally pull over, I discovered the transmission was out of fluid and and thin blue smoke came out of the hole the dipstick goes in. Should I rebuild, or replace my tranny? Or just fill it up with fluid and see if she goes? Trade her in and get a new car?
Car Brakes: How Do You Know When to Change Them?
By Zach Bowman For those who suffer a daily commute through heavy traffic, your vehicle's braking system can bring thousands of pounds of metal, plastic and empty Starbucks cups to a stop hundreds of times before you get to work. It goes without saying that these pieces wear out, but they do so slowly, meaning you may not notice they need attention until ...

Nov. 20, 2010 was an emotional day at Folsom Field.
Dan Hawkins, who was fired 12 days earlier, watched from the balcony of the Dal Ward Center as his son Cody threw three touchdowns to lead Colorado to a 44-36 victory over Kansas State on "Senior Day" in Boulder.
Nearly two years later, the backup quarterback that Saturday has emerged as the leading candidate to win the Heisman Trophy.
Unfortunately for the Buffs, Collin Klein plays at Kansas State.
"It was incredible. It really was," Doug Klein, Collin's father, recalled of watching his son come off the bench for the Wildcats to run for two touchdowns in the final Big 12 meeting between the programs at Folsom Field. "I can remember back in those Fairview days when my conditioning was running those same stadium steps and running 40's right down on that turf. ...
"When I was watching Collin out there going through warm-ups and then playing in the game, it was pretty emotional."
That's right, Collin Klein's dad grew up in Boulder.
Doug Klein played quarterback at Fairview High School for legendary coach Sam Pagano and was a teammate of Chuck Pagano, the Indianapolis Colts head coach, on some of the Knights' great teams of the era.
Collin Klein grew up to be a standout quarterback at Loveland High School. His coach always believed the "three-star" signal caller had the potential to be a program-changing player in major college football.
"He's the kind of a person, the kind of a player, the kind of an athlete, that makes a team better and the players around him better. It's the whole package that makes him special," longtime Loveland High School coach John Poovey said. "When coaches asked me about his ability, I told them he could play in the Big 12, even though at the time he was not the prototype. I thought he could create the same sort of impact Vince Young had (at Texas). Collin isn't as fast, but he had an ability to have an impact on the game like that, but in his own fashion. He wasn't going to be the freak athlete like Vince Young, but in that type of team environment he could have that type impact."
Klein committed to Kansas State during the brief Ron Prince era and played as a wide receiver and on special teams during his redshirt freshman season. His determination to play quarterback paid off and eventually Bill Snyder put the offense in his reliable hands.
"If a player like that doesn't have good ball skills, usually they end up as a DB," CU wide receivers coach Bobby Kennedy said of Klein starting out at wide receiver. "When you watch him you see that he has great skills in terms of running, and I know his passing has come a long way. I just think he's a great leader. He's a special guy."
Colorado State showed late interest during the recruiting process after Steve Fairchild, a former Rams quarterback, replaced Sonny Lubick and turned on the film of local high school teams.
Dan Hawkins did not bother to recruit Klein or even write him a letter. The former CU head coach was looking for a "passing" quarterback.
Poovey said if Klein didn't fit into the Buffs' plans or Hawkins' system, then it wasn't his place to talk them into giving his guy an opportunity.
"What I try to tell players and parents is every coaching staff and every team has their own needs in what they're looking for," Poovey said. "Their job is on the line and it's their program, so I don't tell them what fits."
The Klein family, who are devout Christians, doesn't hold a grudge either.
"My parents and the Lord gave me the perspective of not feeling slighted," Collin Klein told the Denver Post last week. "There is no animosity toward those programs. I understand what they thought at the time. The Lord knew I was meant to be here."
Last Saturday Klein completed 19 of 21 passes for 323 yards and three touchdowns and also scored four rushing touchdowns to lead Kansas State to a 55-14 dismantling of West Virginia on the road.
The Wildcats (7-0, 4-0) jumped over Oregon to the No. 3 spot in the latest BCS standings. Klein, a senior, stiff-armed Mountaineers quarterback Geno Smith on the way to the front of the Heisman race.
Klein is No. 1 in the Scripps Heisman Poll this week after receiving first-place votes from all 10 poll voters. Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o is a distant second entering this weekend's action.
"For Collin, that's pretty impressive," said current CU quarterback Connor Wood, a Texas transfer who saw Klein get a surprise start over Carson Coffman and then rush for 127 yards and two touchdowns in Kansas State's 39-14 victory over the Longhorns in 2010. "All the respect to him. He has the natural talent to play the position. ...
"I'm not surprised by (Kansas State). We played them in Manhattan my freshman year and they're tough sons-of-guns now. They might not be the most talented guys out there, but they play the hardest. That's why they're winning so much now and they're so competitive each week."
This week the Wildcats can take another big step on the road to a national championship against No. 14 Texas Tech.
Doug and his wife Kelly are making the trips from Loveland to all of the Kansas State games this season. Their son Kyle is a redshirt freshman wide receiver in Snyder's program.
"Our entire family, and Collin in particular, wanted him to be where the Lord wanted him to be," Doug Klein said when asked if he was disappointed that CU didn't pursue Collin. "Of course it would have saved us some money and time traveling back and forth on I-70, but Collin ended up in the right place."
The Buffs (1-6, 1-3) will also factor into the BCS equation on Saturday, likely playing the role of road kill on Pac-12 powerhouse Oregon's championship path.
CU will start Jordan Webb, Klein's former rival counterpart at Kansas, who has completed 127 of 228 passes (55.7 percent) for 1,351 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions. Due to 31 sacks, the junior transfer has minus-99 yards rushing with two touchdowns, including the game-winner at Washington State.
Klein has completed 98 of 139 passes (70.5 percent) for 1,397 yards with 10 touchdowns and two interceptions. He has also rushed for 551 yards and 14 touchdowns.
"He's been killing it," CU senior safety Ray Polk said of Klein. "I had no idea. We played Kansas State a couple years ago and it was like, 'They're an OK team, a good team.'
"But we had no idea they were going to be this football powerhouse a couple years down the road. It's great for them and I wish him the best."

The fallout from a failed mill levy increase on the November ballot could mean a change in lifestyle for some residents in the Ken-Caryl Metropolitan District.
Among the most significant changes discussed during the districts Nov. 27 budget public hearing were the advent of user fees for swimmers, adjusted operating hours and the closure of the Bradford Pool.
Bottom line, most of the changes here that are being proposed are user fees, said Darrell Windes, district manager. Throughout the election, one of the things the vote-no campaign proposed was turning to user fees.

This tender, sweet story by Yoko Ogawa revolves around a housekeeper and the man for whom she cares: the professor, who has a memory of no longer than 80 minutes. After that time, his world essentially "resets". To accommodate for this seemingly problematic situtation, the professor pins a plethora of notes to his suits to remind him of things, including who the housekeeper is.
A mathematical genius, the professor exposes the housekeeper to a way of seeing the world she previously had not: through numbers and their meanings. In reacclimating himself to her each day (or each 80 minutes, in fact), he asks her questions about everything from shoe size to birthday to phone number. Then, he then assesses her world according to how those numbers "fit"--amicable numbers, prime numbers, etc. Her world has been a series of simplistic experiences and disappointments up until the time she meets the professor, and she realizes the interconnectedness of the world through numbers.
The only character named in the book is the housekeeper's son, whose nickname becomes Root when the professor likens his flat topped haircut to a square root symbol. The relationship between Root and the professor is forged through baseball, both the enjoyment of the game and the mathematics inherently within.
I ended up buying the book since it quickly became one of my all time favorites. Author Paul Auster, a well known fiction writer, commented that the story was "Highly original, infinitely charming, and ever so touching". I would agree.

Pure Marytini
2 oz. Purity Vodka
3 oz. Basil-pepper-infused water (see below)
1 organic heirloom cherry tomato
1 organic grape tomato
1 small slice organic Serrano pepper
3 fresh basil leaves
1 small slice lime
¼ oz. Blue Chartreuse (half Green Chartreuse, half yellow Chartreuse)
Rim with Old Bay celery powder (see below)
First rim the Martini glass with lime and Old Bay celery powder. Muddle tomato, basil and pepper, and then add the basil pepper water. Fill with ice and add Purity vodka. Shake and strain into martini glass. Garnish with spear of two tomatoes and basil and set fire to ¼ oz. jigger of Chartreuse on top.
The Impure Virgin of the Desert
3 oz. Purity Vodka
2 oz. fresh grapefruit juice
2 oz. fresh lime juice
1 oz. simple syrup
3 Purity jalapeño slices (see note)
Old Bay seasoning
Combine all ingredients over ice and shake until combined. Strain into a chilled tulip glass rimmed with Old Bay seasoning (seriously). Note: We tried this drink with just fresh jalapeño slices and it just didn't have the right kick. Marinating the jalapeño slices in Purity Vodka overnight really brought out the flavor of both.
Pineapple Express
2 oz. Purity vodka
3/4 oz. lemon juice
3/4 oz. homemade sage-pineapple honey
1/2 oz. homemade ginger/serrano infused Falernum
Combine all ingredients in a shaking tin. Shake vigorously and double-strain into a Collins glass, then top with crushed ice. Garnish with pineapple frond.
THE TASTING PANEL: Purity Vodka is leading the ultra-premium vodka trend away from neutral spirits towards vodka with more complexity and character - how would you describe it to a customer at your bar to convince them to try it?
Jennifer Russick: While Purity is super clean and crisp in flavor, the estate-grown wheat and barley used to make the vodka add to the character, which comes out in the flavor of the cocktail.
TTP: You're trapped on a deserted island with a case of Purity and bountiful fruit trees. What three bar tools do you bring with you, and what cocktail do you make?
JR: I'm picturing coconut trees, palm trees and all of the juices and fruit that are associated with them. I love tropical drinks, but not overly sweet ones, so I would make some sort delicious Piña Colada type of drink with the delicious complexity of Purity Vodka. The bar tools I would need would be a muddler, a citrus squeezer, and a bar spoon (to crack ice in case I mysteriously came across some).
TTP: What was the inspiration for this cocktail recipe?
JR: Pineapples are an ingredient that are always in season (somewhere tropical), and I (usually) have a sunny disposition. Honey goes really well with pineapple and really brings out the complexity of Purity.
TTP: Who inspires you to make great cocktails?
JR: I have gotten the amazing opportunity to work with some great bartenders in San Francisco and the opportunity to taste their concoctions. I am inspired by my many cohorts and predecessors in this field. It's difficult to pick one, but if I had to it would be my current co-worker Carlo. He holds me to a high standard and won't let me go below it, and I appreciate that in him.
TTP: What's your bartending pet peeve?
JR: Filthiness behind a bar. I can't stand watching someone work in a filthy, unorganized mess. How can you produce a great cocktail when you're fumbling around trying to find the tools and ingredients you need?
The King's Peach
1 ½ oz. Purity Vodka
1 Dash Fee Bros. Peach Bitters
¾ oz. Aperol
½ oz. Hatfield's Sour (or Lemon/Lime)
½ oz. egg white
Splash simple syrup
Dry shake, then add ice and shake again. Add splash of soda and pour into Collins glass. Garnish with candied grapefruit peel.
NoBar BKNY may call Brooklyn home, but its roots are thoroughly rooted in NOLA, with craft domestic brews and classic cocktails making this one of the neighborhood's hottest hotspots. It doesn't hurt that the bar is owned by actor Anthony Mackie, who has starred in such films as
Million Dollar Baby and The Hurt Locker. Bartender
Jenny Pedraza is a Purity Vodka fan, and created
Purity on Nostrand, in homage to Nostrand Ave, the bar's street.
Purity on Nostrand
2 oz. Purity Vodka
1 oz. fresh-squeezed orange juice
½ oz. oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
1/2 oz. powdered sugar simple syrup
1 barspoon Herbsaint absinthe
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice; shake hard and strain into a highball glass. Garnish with lime wheel and dusting of powdered sugar.
Goldfish in Atlanta is a fish-lover's paradise. From fabulous seafood and sushi to the restaurant's 600-gallon salt water aquarium, not a single detail is missed at this upscale eatery. Mixologist
Bache Holland is holding down the bar with Purity Vodka in a complex cocktail called
Purity Pingsation, and THE TASTING PANEL threw a few questions his way.
Purity Pingsation
1 ½ oz. Purity Vodka
1 oz. lychee liqueur
1 jalapeño slice (seeds removed)
2 pieces of lychee
3 lemon slices
5 mint leaves
2 tbs. agave nectar
Splash of sour mix
Splash of pineapple juice
Muddle jalapeño, lychee, lemons and mint with agave nectar and sour mix. Add Purity and lychee liqueur and shake in ice. Strain into Martini glass. Garnish with lychee and lemon twist.
Bache Holland: I would inspire my guests by not only telling them about the properties of the vodka, but also by allowing them to do a taste test side by side with a vodka of their choice. The constant distillation in Purity creates a smooth passage over the tongue and down the throat. I would tell them that their senses will love the smooth feeling of this wonderful vodka as it soothes the throat and encourages other flavors to enhance it, as opposed to other vodkas that overpower mixers.
TTP: What is your bartending pet peeve?
BH: Customer who asks me to "Just make them something."
TTP: What was your inspiration for this recipe?
BH: My friend Ping who likes the kick of jalapeños in his drink.
TTP: What is your favorite mixology technique?
BH: Layering flavors.
TTP: What are the current mixology trends in Atlanta?
BH: Mixology has grown fast in this city. There are competitions springing up every other month. It has become a hot commodity.
TTP: Who inspires you to make great cocktails?
BH: My bar manager Ben Mizel and my guests that frequent every weekend.

Shares the pros are buying and selling
We look at four share trades by professional investors in Symphony International Holdings (SIHL.L), Vislink (VLK.L), Lamprell (LAM.L) and Superglass Holdings (SPGH.L).
by David Campbell on Nov 09, 2012 at 07:46
John Pennink raises Symphony International Holdings stake
Global value star John Pennink, manager of the £717 million British Empire trust, has upped his investment in Asian private equity investor Symphony International Holdings.
Pennink increased his stake in the company from 3.2 million shares to 41.89 million worth $26.8 million (£16.61 million) at a share price of 62 US cents a share.
While some of that increase is accounted for by the dilution impact of a $100 million rights issue launched last month, the manager also upped the total percentage of shares he holds.
Singapore-based Symphony invests in Asian consumption growth, primarily through stocks in the healthcare, hospitality, lifestyle and high-end real estate sectors.
Following the rights issue, broker Panmure Gordon cut its price target from $1.18 to $1.13, rated 'buy'.
In first half results in mid-August the company reported a net asset value of $1.24 per share, meaning it trades at a discount of exactly 50% to the most recent estimate. Symphony has since announced two profitable exits likely to have boosted the portfolio, however.
Hermes Fund Managers takes profits on Vislink
Leading activist investor Hermes Fund Managers has taken profit on its stake in broadcast technology specialist Vislink following a near-60% run-up in its shares.
Hermes previously held 6.82 million shares or more than 5% of the company worth £1.7 million at a share price of 25p, up 58.49% over the past 12 months.
A subsidiary of the BT Pension fund, Hermes manages almost £30 billion in 'responsible' investment strategies across a range of assets. The stake was held by Hermes Equity Ownership, its activist and advisory division.
Vislink supplies broadcast, communication and surveillance systems internationally, with a client base which includes many of the worlds major broadcasters.
The company returned to the black in the first half of 2012, with a profit of £733,000, up from a loss of £3.7 million previously. A programme of cost cutting was sufficient to outweigh a 14% fall in orders for its satellite terminal technology.
Whitney George raises Lamprell holding
Small-cap and value guru Whitney George has ramped up his exposure to beleaguered oil rig maker Lamprell, following a six month period in which its shares have given up 75% of their market price.
George upped his stake in the business from 10.05 million shares to 12.96 million or 4.98% worth £10.63 million at a share price of 82p, down from 337p in mid-May.
The manager is co-chief investment officer and managing director of Legg Mason subsidiary Royce & Associates. The stake is held across a number of his funds, such as the Royce Low Priced Stock fund.
Lamprell has issued no less than three profit warnings this year on supply chain problems and delayed projects, with a series of senior executives throwing themselves on their swords.
The business is trading at a discount to the market, at 7.08 times 2013 expected earnings versus a FTSE All Share average of 10.61, and a dividend yield of 6.24% versus 4.19%.
Peter Gyllenhammar buys more Superglass shares
Activist investor and entrepreneur Peter Gyllenhammar has ramped up his investment in troubled insulation specialist Superglass Holdings as it struggles to escape a restructuring and sales slump.
Gyllenhammar increased his stake in the business from 4.09 million shares to 7.39 million or 14.7% worth £369,656 at a share price of 5p, down 88.8% from 40p over the past year.
The former analyst and corporate adviser seeks out businesses which he believes are trading at a substantial discount to net asset value, often seeking board membership.Creditor Clydesdale Bank was left holding 23% of the business in the form of convertible equity following a financial restructuring at the end of 2011.
In an interim statement in July the business warned it faced 'extremely challenging' conditions, on both the construction slowdown and reduced government support for green investment.
Following a profit warning in the first half of the year it said it was revising its full-year sales expectations down once more.

ok, how would i go about using a putty? can i use it with a limited account?
have you tried running putty on the machine?
Or are you just asking the question without trying.?
if it doesn't run then use admin rights to run it, if you don't have admin rights then ask the administrator of the computer if you can use it.
If they say no then your outta luck, or if they say yes and set it up then your in luck..
IIRC you don't have to install putty, you just run it from its directory.
So you should be able to run it with a limited account, unless there are policies in place to further restrict your account,
Drugs have taught an entire generation of kids the metric system.
If you have XP SP2, there is a workaround that you need to install first.
They may have fixed the problem by now tho.
Real security doesn't come with an installer.
I run putty from XP SP2 all the time, no problem. The latest version is 0.58 and should pose no problems with XP.
Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects. Will Rogers

you've already missed the record for fastest removal
