It explains the visible trimmings of European sophistication such as opera houses, art spaces and pavement cafes.
Then there's the Latin passion: Learn the rhythm of the sensual tango or watch a game of football with the people who have perfected the sport

Celebrating Thanksgiving Day, Macy's colourful parade is one of New York's best. It features clowns, floats, marching bands and plenty of celebrities. Gigantic helium balloons shaped like cartoon heroes reaching high into the sky steal the show.
The parade route starts on 77th Street and heads down Central Park West to Columbus Circle, then down Broadway to Macy's at 34th Street, finishing on 7th Avenue. Crowds thicken as the day progresses, so find your spot early. The best are at Columbus Circle and Times Square, but there are also good views from Duffy Square (7th Avenue with 46th Street).
The Dakar Rally pits over 400 drivers against each other in a gruelling long-distance race. In 2011, the rally returns to South America, covering a 9000km loop between Buenos Aires, Argentina and Arica, Chile.

SAA News - Sustaining profitability
SAA results for the year ending 31 March 2010
Johannesburg, 13 September 2010: South African Airways (SAA) today released its financial results for the year ending 31 March 2010, reporting a Group profit before tax of R596-million (2008/9: R424-million). These results were achieved despite an exceptionally tough year for the aviation industry globally. The national carrier reported a bottom line profit of R581-million, a 45% improvement from the previous year's net profit of R402-million.
"The reporting period was exceptionally challenging for the aviation industry worldwide, with a large decline in passenger demand as a result of the continuing effects of the global economic crisis. We are most pleased that in comparison to many other airlines and despite the decline in passenger numbers, SAA reported positive financial results," said Ms Siza Mzimela, Chief Executive Officer of SAA.
During the reporting year, some 6,7-million (2008/9: 6,8-million) passenger flew SAA, representing a 2,4% decrease from the previous year. Domestic and international passenger numbers decreased by 6% and 5% respectively, while regional passenger numbers increased by 9%. Cargo tonnage also declined by 14% from 130 000 in 2008/9 to 119 000 2009/10.
Revenue and earnings
Total airline income declining by 15% to R22,3-billion (2008/09: R26,4-billion). This decline underlined the importance of SAA's determined approach to contain costs.
Operating costs declined from R24,4-billion in 2008/09 to R21-billion in 2009/10. The most significant contributors to the decline were fuel costs, which fell by R3,5-billion, and aircraft lease costs, which decreased by R643-million. Employee benefit expenses, consisting mainly of staff salaries, increased by 14% or R513-million.
The significant improvements in hedging losses also contributed to the improved financial performance. During the reporting period, fair value movements and translation losses from hedging decreased to R601-million (2008/9: R1,6-billion) – a 62% decline from the prior year.
SAA's cash position improved considerably during the reporting year, with cash generated from operations increasing significantly from a deficit of R1,8-billion in 2008/09 to R1,7-billion in 2009/10. During the year, the airline repaid R1,2-billion in external loans. In addition, SAA issued share capital of R1,5-billion, which was used to repay much of the subordinated loan from government.
SAA's operations continued on the positive trajectory set in the previous year. On-time performance – the key measure of operational performance – improved. SAA breached the 80% level consistently and achieved an 85% on-time performance for the reporting period.
With the exception of South African Travel Centre (SATC), SAA's subsidiaries also reported positive results. Airchefs reported a profit before tax of R35,5-million, an improvement on the previous year's loss of R12,7-million. Mango achieved a profit before tax of R18,5-million, a 9% improvement on the prior year. SAA Technical recorded a profit before tax of R9,5-million, an improvement of R180-million from the previous year's loss of R171,2-million. For the first time since inception 14 year ago, SATC reported a loss of R1-million.
Looking ahead, the national carrier has identified the following five primary objectives:
"We look to the future with cautious optimism. We will continue to work tirelessly to build an airline that is safe, environmentally and socially responsible, and sustainably profitable", said Ms Cheryl Carolus, Chairperson of SAA.

Three physicians are leaving Wellington and closing the clinic next month.
Wellington Family Clinic will be closing in May. Director of Communications Sherry Hill confirmed the clinic is closing but had no other comment about the situation.
The clinic has not announced an official closing date although some employees and patients have been told May 24, 2013 will be the last day of operation.
Wellington area residents who had used the clinic for their health care won't be left completely out in the cold though.
The Sumner County Family Care Center try to fill the void the closing of the other clinic will create.
"We are doing the best we can to accommodate as many of those employees and patients as we can," said Sumner County Family Care Center spokesperson Darla McGovern.
SCFCC has hired Whitney Newberry - currently a nurse practitioner at the closing facility - and Physicians Assistant Candace Giefer-Lira to help increase their capacity to handle new patients.
"We take all insurance and we can help patients make the transition to our facility," McGovern said.
Sumner County Family Care Center has been in operation in Wellington since 1976.

This week, weekends on All Things Considered begins a new series called "Why Music Matters": stories from fans, in their own words, about how music has changed their lives. In this first installment, Seattle resident Nathan Hotchkiss reflects on a sheltered childhood.
"My parents were very religious," he says. "I was limited to listening only to Christian music and classical. My father would stay away a lot, and my mother would be wrapped up in her own turmoil, and it would spill over onto me."
When Hotchkiss discovered he was gay, things grew even harder, as he wrestled with how to tell his family. But he says everything changed one day at a friend's house, when he was 13.
"I was flipping through her CDs and popping in various ones, and happened on The Cranberries," he recalls. "I remember being overcome with emotion, the emotion that was poured out by Dolores [O'Riordan], the lead singer. That touched me — to hear that much passion come out of one body. I really hadn't heard anything like that before."
Click the audio link to hear Nathan Hotchkiss' full story, as well as some words of encouragement from a surprise guest.
"Why Music Matters" is produced by Anna Boiko-Weyrauch with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, and in collaboration with the Association of Independents in Radio and KEXP-FM in Seattle.
Today, we're rolling out a new, occasional series. It's called "Why Music Matters." Every now and then, we'll bring you the stories of music fans, in their own words, about how a song or a band changed their lives.
Today, how The Cranberries helped one young man come to terms with his identity.
THE CRANBERRIES: (Singing) Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo...
NATHAN HOTCHKISS: A lot of things were the devil.
HOTCHKISS: They would say, this isn't from the Lord.
THE CRANBERRIES: (Singing) Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo,...
HOTCHKISS: My name is Nathan, Nathan Hotchkiss. I had a bit of a difficult upbringing. My parents were very religious. I was limited to listening only to Christian music and classical. My father would stay away a lot, and my mother would be wrapped up in all her own turmoil, and then it would spill over onto me.
HOTCHKISS: Around 13 years old is when I really started discovering music. I was down at my friend's house babysitting, and I was flipping through her CDs and popping in various ones - and happened upon The Cranberries.
THE CRANBERRIES: (Singing) See, do you like me? Do you like me standing here?
HOTCHKISS: I remember being overcome with just emotion - the emotion that was poured out by Dolores, that lead singer. Just - that touched me, to hear that much passion coming out of one body. And I really hadn't heard anything like that before. It was confusing to have been sheltered from that for so long, and not understand why.
THE CRANBERRIES: (Singing) ...to see life as fun and take it if we can. My mother, my mother, she hold me...
HOTCHKISS: And then I started collecting music and hiding it in various places in my house, and listening to it late at night when my parents - I thought - were sleeping. I would put the cassette player right behind my head, and play it at a soft level and just quietly sing along.
There was a Cranberries cassette tape that I would listen to. And there is that one track - always - where the lead singer would make this sound like, oh!
HOTCHKISS: And it sounded like my mother when she yells. And I'd always freak out and turn off the cassette tape really quick - and just expect to see my mother coming in through the door - what are you doing?
THE CRANBERRIES: (Singing) Be a good boy...
HOTCHKISS: My parents were always telling me what to do, and how to be.
THE CRANBERRIES: (Singing) ...try a little harder.
HOTCHKISS: When they'd go out and do something, I'd turn on these CDs and scream at the top of my lungs along with the music, and I was able to relate to someone else who, I felt, had gone through something like that.
HOTCHKISS: And I knew I wasn't normal when everything that my parents, church, talked about said that I was an abomination. My preference seemed to always lean towards boys. As I got older, I, you know, realized that it was part of who I was.
THE CRANBERRIES: (Singing) Everything I do for you...
HOTCHKISS: Many of the songs' lyrics that I listened to would talk to me and tell me that I wasn't the only one out there going through feelings like this, and being treated the way I was. Coming out, really, you know, put everything under the table. And my parents, through everything, we've managed to grow closer. And our relationship is the strongest now that it's ever been.
HOTCHKISS: Someone out there may hear this story, and have had a similar situation or is still in it - and have faith that things will turn out for the better.
RAZ: That's Nathan Hotchkiss on why music matters. And Nathan Hotchkiss joins us now from KEXP in Seattle. Nathan, welcome.
HOTCHKISS: Thank you for having me.
RAZ: It's a beautiful story.
HOTCHKISS: Thank you.
RAZ: And Nathan, I want to bring in a special guest who's been listening to your story along with us - Dolores O'Riordan, the lead singer with The Cranberries. Dolores, say hello to Nathan.
DOLORES O'RIORDAN: Hey, Nathan. How are you?
O'RIORDAN: That's a totally lovely story.
HOTCHKISS: Thank you so much for what you do. I appreciate you.
O'RIORDAN: You know, I appreciate you appreciating me because, you know what? It's lovely to hear stories like that. You know, to kind of think that your music touches people to that level - it's really great, you know? And, you know, I think everybody in life, you know, we go through struggles. And the reason we go through those struggles is because later, we become stronger people. And..
HOTCHKISS: I agree.
O'RIORDAN: ...the journey of life is never perfect, but what's really sweet is how you've turned it around and, you know, that you're saying you're closer to your parents now than ever before.
HOTCHKISS: It's true. Thank you.
O'RIORDAN: My dad just died there, on the 25th of November, and the one thing was beautiful was that, you know, before they go, you make peace with them and you accept everything. And, you know, that way, you feel great peace inside your own heart, so...
HOTCHKISS: Right.
O'RIORDAN: That's really cool that you found that inner peace, too, you know?
HOTCHKISS: I agree, definitely.
O'RIORDAN: Yeah.
RAZ: And, Nathan, I know we sprung this on you, and you were not expecting Dolores O'Riordan in the studio with us.
HOTCHKISS: Not at all.
RAZ: And what about now, at this point in your life - are you in a place where all those things have kind of fallen into place, and those struggles seem almost distant?
HOTCHKISS: Yeah. That's the case, definitely. I recently got my mom to move out here to Seattle. She was in Massachusetts and had moved back there to reconcile her relationship with her daughters, and that didn't really pan out. So it was a three-year-long campaign of begging her to move out here and now, she's about 12 blocks away.
O'RIORDAN: Yeah. It's great, you know? Well, life is all about hating, isn't it? And acceptance. And just to find your own peace in your own heart, and to love yourself, is the most important thing you could do.
HOTCHKISS: Definitely. I agree wholeheartedly.
RAZ: Well, Dolores, thank you so much for coming in today.
O'RIORDAN: Yes. And thanks, Nathan. That was a really nice story, very inspiring. And, yeah, look after yourself. And you're a great heart. You're a great person.
HOTCHKISS: Thank you. And you are as well.
O'RIORDAN: Good luck with everything.
RAZ: Dolores O'Riordan is the lead singer with The Cranberries. They've got a new record out now. It's called "Roses." And I'm sure, Nathan Hotchkiss, if he doesn't have it yet, will buy it very soon. Nathan Hotchkiss joins us from KEXP in Seattle. Nathan, thank you so much for your story.
HOTCHKISS: You're welcome. My pleasure.
THE CRANBERRIES: (Singing) I think that you're mad. You spend a lot of time in your head. I know that you're mad. You spend a lot of time in your head.
RAZ: "Why Music Matters" comes to us from AIR, the Association of Independents in Radio, and KEXP-FM Seattle; produced by Anna Boiko-Weyrauch, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Norovirus infection occurs in the stomach and intestines. It is most often call the stomach flu. Outbreaks often occur in areas with close contact such as:
- Cruise ships
- Restaurants
- Nursing homes
- Hospitals
Norovirus infections are caused by a specific group of viruses. The viruses can spread through:
- Contaminated water supplies, such as recreational lakes, swimming pools, wells, and water stored on cruise ships
- Raw or improperly steamed shellfish, especially clams and oysters
- Food and drinks prepared by infected food handlers who do not wash their hands properly after using the bathroom
- Surfaces, such as a door knob
The viruses can also spread by direct contact with an ill person. This is common in a day care center or nursing home.
Risk Factors
Any person who ingests the virus is at risk of getting this infection. Older children and adults commonly get this infection.
Even if you have been infected with norovirus in the past, you can become ill again if:
- You are exposed to a different type of norovirus
- Your last illness was more than 24 months ago
Symptoms may include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Headache
- Fever
- Chills
- Muscle aches
- Tiredness
Symptoms often appear within 24-48 hours of exposure to the virus. Symptoms often last about 1-3 days.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Often, this is enough to make the diagnosis.
It is rarely necessary to determine the exact virus causing the infection. Stool and blood samples may be taken if your doctor wants to know the exact type of virus causing the problem.
A norovirus infection will go away on its own. Medical treatment is often not needed since the illness is often brief and mild.
Most people will recover by resting and drinking plenty of fluids. Oral rehydration solutions are the best option to help replace fluids and electrolytes. These can be found in most drugstores. Severe dehydration may require IV fluids in a hospital but this is a rare complication in the United States.
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses. There are no antiviral medications or vaccines used to fight or prevent this infection.
To help reduce your chance of getting or passing noroviruses take the following steps:
Wash your hands
thoroughly with soap and water:
- After using the bathroom
- After changing diapers
- Before preparing or eating food.
- If you are caring for someone who is infected, make sure the person thoroughly washes his or her hands.
- If you are ill or caring for someone who is ill, immediately clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces using bleach cleaner. Remove and wash soiled linens. Use hot water and soap.
- Wash fruits and vegetables.
- Cook oysters and clams before eating them.
- Do not prepare food if you have symptoms. The virus may continue to be in your stool for up to 3 days after your diarrhea has resolved. Wait 3 days after you have recovered before handling food again.
- Throw away contaminated food.
- If you are sick, do not attend work until symptoms have passed.

Minturn - The historic town of Minturn is located just west of Vail up the Eagle River Valley. Founded during the silver rush in the late 1800's, the town has both historic and more recent Western architecture, and is home to boutiques, restaurants, and the well-known winter and summer Minturn Markets. Minturn is a mix of long-time locals and newer Valley residents in properties ranging from quaint single family homes to condos and town homes.
Red Cliff - The one-time county seat and former mining camp, Red Cliff lies tucked into the mountains up the Eagle River Valley south of Minturn. The small town has a cluster of older homes and more temporary dwellings offering back country access for skiing and snowmobiling as well as hiking in the summer.

Colin Montgomerie used to say it was harder than ever to win a major because each year it seemed that Tiger Woods won two of them, Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson or Vijay Singh won another and that left only one for everyone else.
Those days, at least for the moment, are gone.
Over the last five years, 18 players have won the last 20 majors, none of them named Woods. And the winner? It could be anybody. Darren Clarke won in his 54th major. Keegan Bradley won in his first. Rory McIlroy won when he was 22. Els won when he was 42.
The next chance is the 142nd British Open, which returns next week to Muirfield for the 16th time dating to 1892.
Muirfield is reputed to be the fairest of the links courses on the rotation, mainly because there are no tricks and very few blind shots. The course consists of two loops running in opposite directions so that golfers will face the wind in every direction by the end of the day. Muirfield is perhaps more predictable than the others.
Not so predictable is finding a player at the top of his game.
The search ordinarily would start with Woods, and for good reason. The world's No. 1 player already has won four times this year, and during a two-month span in the spring, he won three out of four tournaments, the exception a tie for fourth in the Masters.
Now, more mystery envelops Woods. He offered limited details at the U.S. Open about an injury in his left elbow that had been bothering him for a month. Woods has not played since he tied for 32nd at the U.S. Open, and he can't guarantee he'll be at full strength when he arrives at Muirfield.
"I would like to be 100 per cent, but I don't know," he said this month. "It depends on how the body heals. We'll see how it goes."
McIlroy is one of two players to win multiple majors in the last five years — Padraig Harrington, with back-to-back major wins in 2008 is the other — only Boy Wonder has become an afterthought this year. After building a big lead atop the world ranking at the close of 2012, he made a wholesale equipment change at the start of the year and has had only one reasonable chance to win, at the Texas Open.
After missing the cut at the Irish Open, he said he felt "lost."
Graeme McDowell has three wins, second only to Woods this year, though even he isn't sure what to expect. In his last eight tournaments, McDowell has won three times and missed the cut the other five times. At this rate, there's simply no telling what kind of game he'll bring to links along the Firth of Forth.
"When it's been good, it's been really good," McDowell said.
Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., is the only Canadian in the British Open's field.
If there is a trend in this year's majors, it is the emergence of quality players whose careers were elevated by winning a Grand Slam event.
Most players would have been devastated to lose a four-shot lead with four holes to play as Adam Scott did last year in the British Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. Scott later said he would have been crushed had he been watching a performance like that from home. Poised as ever, he realized he played the best golf for 68 holes and took that to understand he could do it again.
And that's what he did, winning the Masters in a playoff to end more than a half-century of Australian misery at Augusta National. Scott hasn't been Down Under to celebrate since he slipped on that green jacket. In his mind, the year was still young. There was much left to achieve, more majors to win. And there is a feeling of redemption he brings to the Open, even though he seemingly atoned for that collapse by winning his first major.
"I'm really looking forward to going back and trying to get myself in a similar kind of situation, a chance to win the Open," Scott said. "The hardest thing is going to be curbing the expectations right from the start. But it's exciting. Every tournament, I feel, is an opportunity for me now ... to just build on this."
Not long after winning the Masters, he sent a text to Justin Rose that "this was our time."
Rose lived up to his end of the prediction by winning the U.S. Open with three clutch shots at the end for a two-shot win. They have been friends and colleagues throughout their careers, born two weeks apart, both having endured their share of struggles.
"It hit me really at the U.S. Open that if you're not willing to experience the heartache and heartbreak of losing a major, then you can't really truly play your best stuff and be free enough in the moment to get it done," Rose said. "If you're kind of apprehensive to what it might feel like to lose, I think for me that's just what struck me. I was good with the fact that you just have to put yourself in that moment time and time again, and be willing to just keep knocking down the door.
"That's kind of what I learned as well from Adam."
Woods can't relate to any of this, of course. He won his first major as a pro with a record performance at the Masters. He had the career Grand Slam when he was 24. He was on his way to a calendar Grand Slam in 2002 when Muirfield and some fickle weather stopped him.
But he is seeing more players emerge to challenge him — McIlroy the last two years, Scott and Rose this year.
During the 12 years that it took Woods to win 14 majors, only three players who won majors were younger than Woods — Ben Curtis in the 2003 British Open, Geoff Ogilvy in the 2006 U.S. Open and Trevor Immelman in the 2008 Masters.
Since his last major in the 2008 U.S. Open, there have been 12 players younger than Woods who won majors, including six of the last seven. This is as deep and well-rounded as golf has been in years. And Woods isn't getting any younger.
"If you look at most golfers, their prime years are usually in their 30s," Woods said. "It takes a while to learn how to win at this level and learn how to do it consistently. I think that you've got to learn what you can and can't do. There's so much to learn out there, and I think that generally you see some of the guys don't mature into their games until their 30s."
That doesn't make this major any easier to predict.
Even so, Muirfield has a way of bringing out the best. Dating to World War II, the seven players who won a British Open at Muirfield are all in the World Golf Hall of Fame.

NEW VIDEOS ADDED! Team Associated has finally made it official. The SC10 4×4 has been unveiled. While this 4WD short course truck has been highly anticipated, most people suspected a vehicle based on Associated's 1/10-scale B44.1 4WD buggy or possible a smaller version of the 1/8-scale SC8 short course truck. Many Associated fans have even created homespun versions by using a RC8 chassis plate with a SC8. Contrary to all of the speculation, Associated has pulled the cover a whole new design for a whole new platform. The SC10 4×4 is not what anyone expected. Check it out:
Belt Drive
Associated designed the SC10 4×4 around a lightweight, low-drag belt driven system. The belt itself is thick and durable, measuring 5mm wide with 211 teeth. Due to the layout, the belt drives the front drivetrain only, while a standard 3-gear gearbox drives the rear end. Associaed states the belt drive works delivers explosive acceleration and yields a compact chassis layout, and reduced drivetrain friction. The belt also allows it to use 32-pitch gears with large teeth.
Decoupled Slipper
The unique "decoupled slipper" uses an internal thrust bearing assembly to allow the truck to feel like it has a slipper and center differential. There is no center differential. The top shaft connects the slipper unit to the front drive belt and the rear gearbox. The decoupled slipper allows the front and rear tires to slip independently, offering increased traction and stability. Without this feature, the slipper would slip and cause all four wheels to lose drive power.
Front Clicker
Instead of a standard front differential, Associated went with a front one-way "clicker" installed between the drive belt and front diff. When loosened for high-traction tracks, the clicker locks up under acceleration but freewheels and clicks loudly off power (giving it its name), effectively giving the truck a front one-way with rear-only braking. Lock the "clicker" down, and you have full-time four-wheel drive and four-wheel braking.
3-Piece Chassis
Only two screw heads are visible on the underside of the chassis, and all of the components mount to the top of the chassis. Associated calls its new three-piece molded tub chassis a "low CG and low polar moment design." As the chassis pieces wear, you can replace each section individually. When assembled, the chassis forms a near glass-smooth bottom surface that will glide over ruts and bumps. The SC10 4×4 is easy to work on. For example, only four screws hold the radio tray in place, with two additional screws capturing the receiver box lid.
Durability Measures
Associated designed the SC10 4×4 from the ground up to handle abuse. Thick suspension arms, heavy-duty rod ends, 3mm hingepins, and large 32-pitch gears make fore a heavyduty platform. The inner camber-link ball studs pass through the shock tower mounts and thread into metal inserts below. The SC10 4×4 took nearly two years to design and produce; according to designers Kurt Wenger and Jason Corl, they began design in April of 2009. Each piece was designed by hand in-house and tested in SoCal.
Over-sized Shocks
Large 13mm shocks are used for durability and for a smooth suspension. The shocks may be built pressurized with bladders or emulsion style, and a lower seal cartridge with snap-in limiters allow you to fine-tune without dumping out all of the shock fluid.
Metric Hardware
Associated went with all metric fasteners. The majority of the screws and bolts use a 2.5mm hex-head wrench (others use 2mm). This reduces the number of wrenches needed. Associated also reduced the number of different screw lengths.
> Unique dual gearbox drive train coupled together with a 5mm heavy duty belt system with external tension adjustment
> 32-pitch front and rear gearboxes with sealed fluid-filled differentials
> Decoupled center slipper clutch allows for front and rear wheel drive to slip independently, resulting in more traction and stability on bumpy track conditions
> CVAs with captured drive pins and heavy duty 6mm alloy axles
> 12mm hex drive KMC® replica wheels front and rear with aggressive short course racing tires
> Championship short course racing body (clear), with Team Associated decal sheet
> 13mm blue aluminum over-sized threaded shocks with low friction X-ring seals
> Composite modular tub chassis with Low-CG and Low Polar Moment design
> Enclosed water-resistant receiver box, and removable ESC tray for easy clean up and maintenance
> Ball bearing steering system with adjustable steering stops
> All metric hardware and ball bearings throughout
> Uses most 540 and 550 brushless motors
Length: 21.65 in. (550mm)
Width: 11.54 in. (293mm)
Track Width: 9.65 in. (245mm)

Now, however, I am trying to go deeper into Greek and really understand it. I have found that Mounce has sacrificed some important information for the sake of easy learning. For example, I have realized that I can hardly form a sentence in Greek on my own! (We've been having a discussion about this over on B-Greek as well, so sorry about the redundant comments!) I have been going through the First Greek Writer in the Textkit library, and I am having to cover a lot of ground that I feel I should have learned right off the bat in introductory grammar.
So, Mounce is a bit of a trade off. You gain early reading comprehension but perhaps sacrifice a true understanding of how the language works. Mounce is very upfront about this in the Rationale section of his introduction to the textbook. I am beginning to think I may have to go back and work through an older (or at least different) grammar to fill in the gaps. Maybe Croy as was suggested over on B-Greek.
Anyway, just my two cents!

It's been a long, seven week hiatus, of not being able to cook (let alone, bake), I finally made strawberry jam! If you've just landed on my blog, for the first time, the reason I'm so excited, is that I had a total knee replacement. I haven't been able to, comfortably, stand in my kitchen. Hence, I've missed not being able to cook for for my family-- and sharing my recipes with you.
Last year, I participated in National Can-It-Forward Day, sponsored by Ball Canning. I had fun trying out their newest product, the Home Canning Discovery Kit.
August 17th is National Can-It-Forward Day!
Ball Canning are happy to announce the third annual National Can-It-Forward Day will be on Saturday, August 17th! In addition to our own canning experts, this year's event will star Food Network's Chopped host, two-time Emmy and James Beard award-winning chef and cookbook author, Ted Allen.
This year, Ball Canning will be broadcasting from Union Square Greenmarket in New York City from 10AM to 2PM EST. National Can-It-Forward Day lets everyone share the joy of fresh preserving. Whether you're new to canning, a Master Canner, or curious to see else you can make with Ball® jars, they'll have recipes and tips and tricks to help make fresh preserving easy, fun, and creative!
You can watch a live Webcast, if you won't be in New York City by clicking here.
I crushed enough berries to equal 3-1/4 cups (about 4 pints), measured out 3 tablespoons of Ball Real Fruit Classic Pectin, and 1/2 teaspoon of butter. You turn the machine on, by pressing the "jam" button and the stirrer mixes the pectin and fruit. Four minutes later, there's a beep that tells you to add your sugar (and, in this case, the vanilla bean paste). The lid gets placed on, and you can go on to other things-- like cleaning up the kitchen. In my case, I prepared my jars by sterilizing them with the Discovery Kit basket (see below).
Vanilla Bean Paste. I have nothing against vanilla beans-- they're fantastic. But, they can be expensive and I don't always have them on hand.
There are three ways to store the jam:
- Ladle the hot jam/jelly into hot jars (never into cold jars, as they could crack), cool to room temperature, then refrigerate and eat within 3 weeks
- Ladle the hot jam into hot jars (or into plastic freezer storage jars) and freeze for up to 1 year
- Or, my favorite was is to "water can" the jam to preserve the jam/jelly to be stored in a cool, dry place.
JAM MAKER REVIEW: I found that the jam/jelly maker was really user-friendly. It's important to know that you need to use only the Ball Real Fruit Classic Pectin. Using any other brand can't guarantee perfect results. Both jams turned out to be thick, and gorgeous in color. Just know, that you will not get more than 2 pints of jam, per batch. I don't mind, one bit, because I have so many flavors that I'd love to create. In fact, I'm anxious to find sugarless fruit juices so I can create some jelly flavors-- starting with traditional grape jelly! My son asked me if the machine is worth $99.00. (The last that I looked, it is on sale on Amazon for $74.99) That's a tricky answer. I'd say, if it's in your budget, and you've always wanted to make your own jam (or are an experienced canner, and don't mind the small batch yield), go for it! It's pretty fool-proof. It cleans up so easily, as the pot has a non-stick coating.
If you've always wanted to learn how to make your own homemade jams, but don't want to make a big investment, I'd start with the Home Canning Discovery Kit.

Great little chocolate cups, ideal for serving a melody of different desserts in, including fruit, mousse and even ice-cream. Topped off with one of the Chocolate Trading Co's small chocolate panels or the little striped cigarellos (look like a barbers pole), makes a quick and easy pudding look a million dollars. Unlike some chocolate cups that taste of nothing, these really do taste of very high quality chocolate.

Matte Eyeshadow - China Blue
Item# 0607845020073
€ 26,00
China Blue
Product Actions
Additional Information

- True color application
- Can be applied dry or with a dampened brush for heightened intensity

Matte eyeshadows are great for helping to define the eye. A good rule of thumb is to follow the natural shape of the eye. You can widen the eye by extending the color out towards the temple or open the eye by blending towards the brow bone.
- Matte eyeshadows give the most depth, contour, dimension, and shape to the eye. Nothing is more elegant than a matte, smokey eye! –James Boehmer, Director of Global Artistry
- I love to use a Matte Eyeshadow as a base lid color and then work the other eye colors around it. It softens the look of shimmer shadows especially for clients concerned with wrinkles on the eye. –Lisa Leseur, National Makeup Stylist
- Apply Matte Eyeshadows in a light shade and then a darker shade for a smooth, velvety finish with no frost. –Jenny Smith, National Makeup Stylist
- To make a matte shadow really pop on the lid, use the Eye Shader Brush to press the color onto the lid until the desired intensity is achieved. –Jason Hoffman, Lead Trainer

Chandler Parsons had 27 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as Houston avoided a four-game sweep by Oklahoma City.
HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets finally found a way to close out a game in their playoff series with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
And it allowed them to escape playoff elimination with a 105-103 win over the Thunder on Monday night.
Chandler Parsons played a team-high 41 minutes and had 27 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as Houston avoided a four-game sweep in the best-of-seven series. Patrick Beverley added 16 points with point guard Jeremy Lin out with a bruised chest muscle.
The Rockets led in the fourth quarter of each of the last two games only to end up losing.
"We felt the pain and frustration from the last two losses ... and we didn't want that to happen for the third straight time," Parsons said.
It almost did.
Kevin Durant scored five quick points to cut the Rockets' lead to two. James Harden missed two shots for Houston after that and the Thunder had a last chance.
Reggie Jackson missed a jump shot and Serge Ibaka grabbed the rebound, but missed a layup at the buzzer.
A stunned Ibaka fell to the court after the miss and covered his face with his hands.
Durant scored 38 points in Oklahoma City's second game without injured All-Star guard Russell Westbrook.
The victory kept Houston from being swept in the playoffs for the first time since 1996. Game 5 is Wednesday in Oklahoma City.
"Getting this first win gives us confidence going back to Oklahoma City, and anything can happen," Harden said.
Rockets coach Kevin McHale was proud of his young team's work in getting its first playoff victory.
"That was a gutsy win," McHale said. "We're not going to lie down. The one constant has been their willingness to scrap and fight. We kept on fighting."
Houston scored the first 10 points of the second half to erase a halftime deficit and take a 63-60 lead. Parsons had six points in that span.

Eating your vegetables and hitting the gym are great ways to keep your heart in shape. But there are other ways to love your heart — and enjoy yourself at the same time.
Eating your vegetables and hitting the gym are great ways to keep your heart in shape. But there are other ways to love your heart — and enjoy yourself at the same time.
In honor of American Heart Month in February, consider a few of these suggestions from researchers:
Eat some dark chocolate. Studies have consistently shown that moderate amounts of dark chocolate have a beneficial effect on the heart.
The latest study was announced last summer in Australia, where researchers at Monash University in Melbourne determined that eating 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate daily over a 10-year period led to fewer heart attacks among the 2,000 study participants, all of whom were at high risk for heart attacks. The team concluded that 70 fatal and 15 non-fatal cardiovascular events per 10,000 people could be prevented over 10 years if patients at risk of having a heart attack ate dark chocolate every day.
Dark chocolate — particularly that with a 70 percent or higher cocoa content — contains antioxidants called polyphenols that help keep blood vessels dilated and reduce blood pressure.
In announcing the results, lead researcher Ella Zomer said the findings "indicate dark chocolate therapy could provide an alternative to or be used to complement drug therapeutics in people at high risk of cardiovascular disease." Zomer's research partner, Chris Reid, added that chocolate studies "have shown really good compliance rates."
Other studies have shown similar results. In 2006, Dutch researchers studied a group of nearly 500 elderly men for 15 years, finding that those who ate the most cocoa-containing products were half as likely to die from cardiovascular disease as those who consumed the least. Again, the cocoa's power to reduce blood pressure was cited as the likely cause.
Drink some red wine. Antioxidant polyphenols are also present in red wine.
According to the Mayo Clinic's website, one polyphenol in particular — resveratrol — "may help protect the lining of blood vessels in your heart."
There's some evidence that non-alcoholic wine might have even more of a positive effect on the heart, since non-alcoholic wines also contain the same amount of polyphenols as their alcoholic cousins.
One study, published last fall in the journal Circulation Research, followed 67 men at high risk of heart disease. Every day for four weeks, some men drank red wine, others drank non-alcoholic red wine and others consumed gin. The results? Those who drank the non-alcoholic red wine had the greatest drop in blood pressure, while the red wine drinkers experienced a slight decrease in blood pressure and the gin drinkers saw no effect. The report concluded that "the daily consumption of dealcoholized red wine could be useful for the prevention of low to moderate hypertension."
Make love to your spouse. It turns out that in addition to releasing endorphins, which produce a feeling of well-being, sex is a nice cardio workout for your heart.
In 2010, researchers published a study in the American Journal of Cardiology indicating that men who reported having sex once a month or less had a 45 percent higher risk of cardiovascular disease than men who reported having sex twice a week or more. Researchers theorized that men who are having regular sexual activity might be more likely to be in a supportive intimate relationship, which might have stress-reducing effects.
Other studies over the years have indicated that married couples experience less heart disease (as well as cancer and depression) than singles — even compared to those who are cohabitating.
Adopt a furry buddy. A 2012 study in the American Journal of Cardiology showed that having a pet can have a powerful effect on the body.
Researchers studied nearly 200 people and concluded that those who owned pets had more "adaptable" heart rates. An earlier study presented at a 2008 conference of the American Stroke Association, showed that people who never owned a cat had a 40 percent increased risk of death from a heart attack. Taking your new pet for a half-hour walk every day can also help your heart stay healthy.
Spice up a meal. Studies have repeatedly found a link between heart health and certain foods, including cayenne pepper and garlic.
Garlic contains allicin, which reduces blood pressure. Cayenne pepper, or capsaicin, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure while boosting circulation.
To recap: On your way home from work today, stop by the local animal shelter to find a new friend and then go home to uncork a bottle of red wine, make a spicy meal, eat some dark chocolate for dessert, and make love to your spouse. Those are doctor's orders.

Durango was swept into the throes of the presidential campaign Wednesday when first lady Michelle Obama visited Fort Lewis College as part of a two-day tour around Colorado.
"We can't turn back now," the first lady told a crowd of 3,700 during her speech in the college's Whalen Gymnasium.
"While we still have a long way to go to completely rebuild our economy, there are so many signs that we are headed in the right direction," Obama said.
It was Obama's second stop of the day as she worked to fire up voters across Colorado, which is one of a handful of states that seem to remain closely contested in the presidential race. The first lady, who literally came out punching, brought an energy to the crowd that many people thought President Barack Obama lacked a week ago during the first presidential debate in Denver.
The Southwest Colorado crowd's cheering swelled to a crescendo when Mrs. Obama entered the gymnasium.
"This is a beautiful part of the state," Obama told the crowd. "I don't know if I want to leave."
Backed by her husband's trademark "Forward" logo, Obama promoted her husband's work on health care, job creation and financial aid for students. She reminded the crowd that the president ended the war in Iraq, signed into law the repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy and made an executive order that grants temporary legal status to immigrants who entered the country illegally as children, allowing them to continue their education or career here.
With less than a month to go before the November election, Obama used the last part of her speech to hammer away on her message of getting out the vote.
"This election will be closer than the last one. That is the only guarantee," she said. "And it could all come down to what happens in a few key battleground states, like right here in Colorado."
In 2008, President Obama won Colorado by about 215,000 votes or 73 votes per precinct, which isn't much, the first lady said.
"That could mean a couple of votes in one neighborhood," she said. "You all in this room could swing an entire precinct for Barack Obama."
And she targeted her message to the audience peppered with college students.
"For young people, this is about the country you will inherit," she said. "Elections are always about hope,"
Once in a lifetime
A quarter-mile-long line began snaking through campus hours before the first lady's 5 p.m. speech. People in the queue called the experience "once in a lifetime."
"How often do you get a chance to see the first lady in Durango?" said Earl Caudill, a Bayfield resident.
Caudill and several other audience members credited Obama with an elegant speaking style and an ability to advocate for issues that matter to everyday Americans.
"She came up from everyday people, (she and President Obama) continue to be everyday people, and she speaks to everyday people," Caudill said.
Students were strongly represented in the audience, and dozens shared the stage with Obama.
"She speaks about the younger generation and the prosperity that's possible for them," said Francine Hatathlie, a senior at Fort Lewis College, before the speech.
Obama also impressed Elizabeth Somers of Durango.
"It was so great. She hit every point. The women, the health care, jobs, corporations – just everything," Somers said after the rally.
The visit was an exhilarating few hours for Durango and Southwest Colorado, which, many local officials acknowledged, rarely make it onto the itineraries of national politicians. Local historians wracked their brains to recall another time when a sitting first lady had visited and spoken in Durango. All came up empty.
Today's front page will be "filed away for future historians," said Carolyn Bowra, director of the La Plata County Historical Society and the Animas Museum.
"It is nice when politics come home because so many times Washington seems so far away. It is easy for us to feel disconnected," she said.
GOP present, too
Before the first lady's speech, a half dozen people, most from Farmington, were on campus holding Romney-Ryan signs. One called it a "peaceful walking campaign."
Andrea Buchla, of Farmington, said, "I love our country. I think the only way to take it back is to vote Romney in."
Republicans can look forward to a visit from one of their own political stars. La Plata County Republicans are expecting House Speaker John Boehner to visit the Glacier Club on Oct. 21, said Kenneth Fusco, first vice chairman of the organization.
The La Plata County Democratic Party had been pushing for an Obama visit whenever it got a chance, La Plata County Democratic Chairwoman Denise Bohemier said.
"I think somebody was quoted in the paper as saying Colorado isn't just the Front Range and the Western Slope isn't just Grand Junction, and we've been pushing that point every opportunity we get," she said.
This time, clearly, Durango's voice was heard.

Your Bond Dollars at Work!
On June 3, 2008, voters in the Fremont Union High School District passed Measure B, a $198 million school bond to: construct and renovate classrooms and science labs, replace or modernize aging food service facilities, construct solar electricity systems, replace aging infrastructure, create a long term technology fund, modernize our tracks and fields and implement other long term facility improvements. Since then, FUHSD has been able to identify an additional $33,424,957 to be utilized as a revenue source to help facilitate construction of the Measure B Bond Program. The original Program Implementation Plan (PIP) can be found here.
Due to increased enrollment projections not only at FUHSD but at our feeder districts as well, the District and it's Bond Management Team are evaluating the current project list and restructuring currently planned projects to include additional classrooms that meet the projected enrollment needs. A priority in the design of all classrooms under Measure B is that they are designed to meet 21st Century Vision standards and be flexible enough to accommodate a variety of future academic needs. Based on the need for additional classrooms and larger facilities, the Bond Management Team has hired architects to Master Plan each site. These Master Plans will help ensure that projects are identified, prioritized, designed and executed in the proper order to allow for efficiencies in construction and site facility use while maintaining a unique vision for each campus.
Site specific information can be found through the links below.
