Vampire Diaries Producer Teases Season Premiere "Death Sequence," Major Delena MomentMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Alaric Saltzman may be dead (moment of silence, fans...), but Julie Plec has made it clear in a new interview that one of the history teacher's final acts will play a key role on The Vampire Diaries Season 4 premiere.
"[He] told a lot of details about a lot of people that in the first episode back we'll see have created a little bit of a domino effect," the producer told Entertainment Weekly at the Television Critics Association press tour, adding that a "powerful, surprising death sequence" will take place on October 11.
Other tidbits/spoilers revealed by Plec include:
- Delena supporters should especially look forward to episode four of the new season: "There's a really interesting moment between Damon and Elena where she's acting a little bit out of character and they both get caught up in a moment."
- Klaus will quickly return to his body... and continue to cause problems moving Forwood: "Things are going to be evolving and changing for all points of all triangles on this show."
- Bonnie will desperately try to prevent Elena from transitioning. We somehow doubt she'll succeed.
- Hot vampire sex may be on the way between Elena and a mystery man, but it doesn't go down on either of the first two episodes at least.
- We'll see various Originals return throughout the season... but should we NOT refer to them as Originals? "Esther's creation of the original vampires was predicated on a spell that she already had, so where did she get that? And what does that mean?" asks Plec. "Does it mean that there are vampires that pre-date the original vampires?"
- Look for Klaus to have some kind of agenda that involves the new hunter in town.
Which of these storyline has you most excited? Who might be involved in the aforementioned death sequence? And, seriously, how much will you miss Alaric?!? Sound off now.

Nicole Lamartine Receives Ellbogen Meritorious Classroom Teaching Award
Many instructors will spend the first year of their teaching careers becoming accustomed to their new environment and slowly begin to incorporate change.
That's not the way Collegiate Chorale Director Nicole Lamartine began her career at the University of Wyoming. She immediately embraced the previous traditions associated with her position and simultaneously began to mold UW's choral program to where she envisioned that it could be.
Lamartine, a UW music assistant professor since 2008, brought in new composers and gave her students the opportunity to experience a new facet of music creation by premiering a new composition. She created a yearly vocal jazz festival, not only reaching out to high schools around the region and giving them new opportunities, but also utilizing UW's Jazz Choir to run the event. This gave undergraduate students much needed experience, which prepared them for their own teaching careers.
She also encouraged the existing choirs to seek new venues and experiences by providing the UW Singing Statesmen with the prestigious opportunity of performing in Carnegie Hall.
Lamartine's influence on UW students has earned her the Ellbogen Meritorious Classroom Teaching Award, established in 1977 by businessman John P. "Jack" Ellbogen, to "foster, encourage, and reward excellence in classroom teaching at UW." Winners are selected from a list nominated by students, and the awards are based entirely on classroom performance and helpfulness to students.
Other recipients this year are Thomas Thurow, professor in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management; and Cameron Wright, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
"One of the greatest lessons that Dr. Lamartine passed on to me and other students was teaching them how to teach," says former student Nathaniel Gillette. "She gave us the opportunity to grow steadily and incorporate what we learned in our other music courses."
Another former student, Phillip Newland, says Lamartine's willingness to work with Wyoming music educators has inspired him in his own career.
"I sincerely believe that Dr. Lamartine has taken the choral area to a new level of excellence. Her dedication to quality choral music is inspiring; her rapport with students is exceptional; her level of professionalism is beyond reproach; and her love or music and teaching is infectious," he says. "I aspire to be an educator of such depth and value. Under her direction, I have grown both as a musician and a teacher."
Even current students, such as Kathleen Brown, sing Lamartine's praises.
"Dr. Lamartine is one of the most dedicated, passionate teachers I have ever met. She is always willing to talk to students, as well as share any knowledge and experience that would best help the student," Brown says. "She cares about her students, and truly wants them to succeed. She is a positive role model in every sense of the word, especially when considering her vast knowledge base, interaction with students, and her ability to create a community. She is a true inspiration."
Lamartine received her B.M. degree (1997) in vocal performance from New Mexico State University; and an M.M. (2000) in vocal performance and a Ph.D. (2003) in musical arts in choral conducting, both from the University of Arizona.

CAMBRIDGE, Maryland (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Friday waded into Washington's war of words over a union organizing election in Tennessee when he accused Republicans of trying to block labor's efforts at an auto plant in that state, according to a Democratic aide who heard the remarks.
A Democratic aide said that Obama, speaking during a closed meeting with U.S. House of Representatives Democrats, said everyone is in favor of the United Auto Workers representing Volkswagen workers except for local politicians who "are more concerned about German shareholders than American workers."
House Democrats were winding up a three-day retreat in the small town on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, about 85 miles east of Washington. Obama briefly spoke to the Democrats about a range of issues while reporters were present.
The Democratic president then held a closed session during which he made the remarks about the election that ends on Friday in Chattanooga, where union organizers are hoping to win representation of auto workers at a VW plant in that city.
Earlier this week, Republican Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee caused a stir when he lashed out against the UAW and said he had had "conversations" leading him to believe that if the union effort failed, VW would announce the production of a new line of SUVs at the Chattanooga plant

They're fun, they're fashionable, they're at the top of almost every back-to-school shopping list. As convenient and necessary as they are, backpacks can also cause pain and strain muscles if not chosen and used properly.
To avoid health problems now and in the future, Wake Forest Baptist physical therapist Sandra LaComa says parents should look for the following features when choosing a backpack:
Experts say a child shouldn't carry more than 10 percent of his or her weight. According to The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), about 55 percent of students carry a backpack that is heavier than the recommended guideline. "The primary goal is to keep the load as light as possible to reduce the postural strain," LaComa said. After you've made your choice, LaComa stresses the importance of packing the backpack safely.

"I tried to say really weird things and do really weird positions."
It's hard to keep up with all the porn-parody versions of TV shows, but every so often one catches our eye. This Ain't Girls XXX, an extra-raunchy version of HBO's Girls, is one such film. "I tried to make it as weird as possible," award-winning porn star Richie Calhoun tells industry site Xbiz. "I tried to say really weird things and do really weird positions." Calhoun plays the Adam character, obviously.
In the XXX parody, Hannah (Alex Chance) decides to forsake men, and boyfriend Adam, to experiment with lesbianism. After a few satisfying jaunts she returns to Adam — and mankind. Adam accepts her back into the fold, but, true to the original show, adds a dominant and quirky dimension to the scene.
"[Adam's] like, 'OK, then crawl to my fucking bed," Calhoun said, explaining how the action begins. …
He also mentioned that, due to the show's frequent sexual themes, "They didn't have to do much" but roll with the original script and extend the intercourse scenes.
"Roll with the original script and extend the intercourse scenes" is how they made the 30 Rock porn parody, too.

Many people think of hunger as an affliction that only affects underdeveloped countries or is typically the result of environmentally-induced famine. However, for one in ten Americans, hunger is an everyday reality.
Right now, over 50 million Americans -- including nearly 17 million children -- are struggling with hunger. We all know and are in contact with people affected by hunger, even though we might not be aware of it.
Poverty is forcing millions of Americans into a hunger crisis. Their hunger emergency is defined by food insecurity, which is the lack of access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs for an active and healthy life.2 Families find themselves buying cheaper and less nutritious food, or cutting entire meals out of their diet, just to make ends meet. Increasing over time, this pattern leads to chronic malnutrition, affecting children and families in profoundly destructive ways.
Hunger plays a pivotal role in perpetuating the cycle of poverty in the U.S., weakening families and systemically impairing the country's collective ability to reach its full potential. Hungry children are not able to play, engage, and learn like other children, and are therefore less likely to become productive adults. Compromised health can lead to both short- and long-term problems; children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable.
Both the commonplace demands of daily life and unexpected, dramatic events can easily push families below the poverty line. "Families are often forced to make the tradeoff between food and other expenses" explains Penn State University economic geographer Amy Glasmeier in her book, An Atlas of Poverty in America. "Healthcare is a particular problem. In poor, rural communities families often have no choice but to use the emergency room for routine health care. This is very expensive. Car repairs are another significant and unexpected expense. If the family car needs repair and it is the end of the month, when cash reserves are low, a family will have no choice but to reduce food intake to get the car back on the road in order to go to work."4
According to FeedingAmerica.org, food insecurity affects many segments of the American population, and exists in every county in the U.S., from a low of 5% in Steele Country, ND to a high of 37% in Holmes County, MS.
The USDA estimates that 16.7 million children are living in food-insecure households. In 2011, households that had higher rates of food insecurity than the national average included households with children (20.6%), especially households with children headed by single women (36.8%) or single men (24.9%), Black, non-Hispanic households (25.1%) and Hispanic households (26.2%).
Families: A frightening 14.7% of U.S. households experienced food insecurity during 2011. 50.1 million people lived in food-insecure households, including children, working adults, and seniors.
8% of seniors (one million households) were food insecure in 2011. A study that examined the health and nutritional status of seniors found that food-insecure seniors had significantly lower intakes of vital nutrients in their diets when compared to their food-secure counterparts. In addition, food-insecure seniors were more likely to report fair/poor health status and had higher nutritional risk.6
"Decades of research and experience with antipoverty programs have made it clear that poverty involves very complex, interrelated and sometimes intractable socioeconomic, family, and individual issues," states the website of the Institute for Research on Poverty." 8
Because the causes are so complicated, it is not surprising that the solutions are equally as difficult to implement. Improving education in poverty stricken areas and changing public policy both affect change, and providing a safety net for those individuals in immediate crisis are all important areas that must continue to be approached with staunch purpose.
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
—Franklin D. Roosevelt
One person or one idea alone cannot unravel the hunger crisis. We must continue to alleviate the immediate suffering of the hungry by sending food to families in need, but simultaneously we must move toward solutions that will end the poverty cycle. By banding together and supporting nonprofit relief organizations, we can work toward affecting change nationally while immediately providing enough for those who have too little.

Lol 31 is nothing. Thats just after a few days ;P
So... Question marks mean they registered and never sent actually played the game or never actually activated their account?
And one more thing... this kind of sucks because im poor and all, but i finally got enough credits off of the guys ive recruited to buy some packs in the shop... now i thought this activated my being able to sell cards, but it didnt... i dont actually have the capabilities to buy anything... With like real money... is there anyway that you could make it so you are able to sell your cards after you BUY something from the SHOP instead of buying credits themeselves? You say you do it to prvent like... spammers or something (I cant remember the right word) but if you manage to get enough credits through entering tournaments and getting the people you invted to get credits then you obviously have put some amount of effort into the game, and you arent a multi or whatever...
I dont nkow... just a suggestion...
Oh, and just wait Give it another week and ill have invited over 50 people
... in fact...
The round resets on Zelderex (where i lead my biggest clan of 200 people) which means ill be getting a lot of fresh blood in the clan... so i might even be able to get as many as 100 people to join this game It is really quite fun!
Kupofather, I'm pretty sure no one wants to hear you boasting about the infulence of your clan, because it does get quite tedious =P

Shelly Brosseau, a Marian University for St.Vincent Health student in the accelerated BSN program, was honored during the 11th annual Salute to Nurses luncheon.
Shelly was among the nursing students throughout Indiana who competed in the Indianapolis Star's nursing student essay contest for a $3,500 tuition scholarship. Her essay described her path to nursing, which began when her late husband, Cam, was diagnosed with end-stage pancreatic cancer.
According to Julie Smith, Marian University for St.Vincent Health site director, the Indianapolis accelerated nursing program is filled with students just like Shelly. "Shelly's story is a great example of who the accelerated nursing student is: a wife, a mom and someone who may have had to overcome obstacles to make their dreams a reality," she said. "Her perseverance, positive attitude and strong compassion are all traits that will make her an excellent nurse. The flexibility of our online classes allows a now-single mother to fulfill her commitment to creating a better future for herself and her children."

PASDA GIS Data Reminder
October 9, 2012 Leave a comment
As the Oil and Gas boom has hit Pennsylvania, GIS data is a prime commodity in obtaining permits and generating needed concept plans. A major source is the Pennsylvania Spatial Data Access (PASDA) clearinghouse. And I quote:
Pennsylvania Spatial Data Access (PASDA) is the official public access geospatial information clearinghouse for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and has served for fifteen years as Pennsylvania's node on the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, Geospatial One-Stop, and the National Biological Information Infrastructure.
PASDA was developed by the Pennsylvania State University as a service to the citizens, governments, and businesses of the Commonwealth. PASDA is a cooperative project of the Governor's Office of Administration, Office for Information Technology, Geospatial Technologies Office and the Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment of the Pennsylvania State University. Funding and support is provided by the Pennsylvania Office for Information Technology,Geospatial Technologies Office. In addition, PASDA also receives substantial support from the Pennsylvania State University.
So there are tons of great data types to choose from, depending on your needs. But there is one question I often get asked and rarely remember the answer. For some reason, some data is formatted to be in the coordinate zone Antarctic98.LL, which refers to the Lat Long grid for the Australian Antarctic 1998 datum. Of course, this is not correct. So the first place to research is the metadata. Read more of this post

Floyd Mayweather Jr. will fight Robert Guerrero on May 4, and he's changing television networks to do it.
The biggest star in boxing dropped a surprise Tuesday while announcing his long-rumored next bout: After several years on HBO, Mayweather is moving to Showtime with a lucrative multi-fight deal.
Mayweather's move is a coup for Showtime, the CBS-owned network that has always trailed behind HBO in boxing prominence. Mayweather (43-0, 26 KOs) is the sport's biggest moneymaker, and his new revenue-sharing deal with Showtime could include up to six pay-per-view fights over 30 months.
"They were extremely aggressive from the start, and they made it clear they want Floyd Mayweather to be the face of Showtime," Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe told The Associated Press. "It's the ultimate compliment to a fighter like Floyd. They were aggressive, and the deal that they put on the table was essentially a deal that you can't refuse."
Mayweather's first bout is against Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs), the WBC's interim welterweight champion. The fight likely will be at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, the site of Mayweather's last six bouts.
Mayweather turns 36 on Sunday, but the unbeaten WBC 147-pound champion has shown few signs of advancing age in the ring. He hasn't fought since beating Miguel Cotto last May 5, and he spent two months in jail last summer after his conviction in a misdemeanor domestic battery case.
With Showtime as his new showcase, Ellerbe said Mayweather's fans will see much more in the next few years from the re-energized champion, who has fought just four times since December 2007.
"He has a renewed motivation to stay active and to take on everybody out there," Ellerbe said. "When Floyd is more active, he's going to be beyond untouchable. He's proved he can stay sharp with those layoffs in the past, but he's going to be more active now."
Guerrero beat out several contenders to get the biggest payday of his career and a shot at his sport's biggest name. Guerrero, from Gilroy, Calif., is a onetime featherweight champion who hasn't lost since 2005, beating welterweight Andre Berto in a thrilling fight last November.
"On May 4th I'm going to shock the world," Guerrero tweeted.
Ellerbe said Mayweather chose Guerrero as his next opponent because of his toughness and crowd-pleasing style.
"He definitely earned the right to fight Floyd," Ellerbe said. "He won the Mayweather sweepstakes, so now he gets to see what the grand prize is, and when he opens up that grand prize, it's going to be a can of (tail) whooping."
Guerrero and Showtime Sports general manager Stephen Espinoza both felt lucky after Mayweather made his decision. Espinoza went after Mayweather before his last fight, but finally got his man after two weeks of negotiations.
"He is as compelling an entertaining a personality as there is in sports, and his performance is at the top of the sport as well," Espinoza told the AP. "You don't often see those things in combination. Everything he does, everything he says generates reaction and discussion. Those are the people you want. We're thrilled to be working with Floyd."
Mayweather has been on Time Warner-owned HBO for essentially his entire professional career, which began after the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Along with his peerless pay-per-view prowess, Mayweather starred in HBO's popular "24/7" reality series before each of his past six bouts, further growing his celebrity with the four-episode showcases of his Vegas lifestyle and irrepressible personality.
Any boxing fans who are worried about missing Mayweather on "24/7" can rest easy: Espinoza is forming his own plans to showcase Mayweather outside the ring.
"It would be a major failure if we didn't capture all that interesting stuff," Espinoza said. "Literally within the next 24 hours, we're going to have cameras on him. We're going full speed ahead. What HBO has done is very impressive, and I respect their creative work. We have a slightly different approach, and we feel there's a lot of the Floyd Mayweather story and the personality that has not been exposed. We've seen one facet of him repeatedly, and we think that's only part of the story."
Manny Pacquiao, another longtime HBO fixture, was Mayweather's only rival for boxing supremacy in recent years before the Filipino congressman's back-to-back losses last year. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum moved Pacquiao off HBO for one fight in 2011, beating Sugar Shane Mosley on Showtime, but returned to HBO for Pacquiao's next bout.
HBO fought to keep Mayweather as well, but couldn't top Showtime.
"We made an aggressive and responsible pay-per-view offer," HBO said in a statement from spokesman Kevin Flaherty. "Now we move on. We are focused on the best boxing franchise in the television business. We are proud of the roster of superstar fighters and emerging stars who are scheduled to appear on the multiple HBO television platforms this year."
Mayweather usually partners with Golden Boy Promotions to organize his fights, but the boxer essentially serves as his own promoter and cuts his own financial deals with help from adviser Al Haymon.
"All the fighters and promoters out there should be applauding Floyd," Ellerbe said. "He's elevating the sport and bringing more eyeballs to it. More importantly, he's changing the pay structure in the sport. He's setting that bar higher for everybody."
Mayweather is making another big change for his next fight: He has hired his father, Floyd Sr., as his trainer. The younger Mayweather was estranged from his father for long stretches of the past several years while he trained under his uncle, Roger.
Golden Boy is working on a deal to put Mexican star Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on the undercard of Mayweather's bout with Guerrero, possibly against Austin Trout. Alvarez, the WBC 154-pound champion, could be Mayweather's next opponent in September.

Chatting Up Cash... Creating Your Hats.
Got your show down? Beginning, middle and end ready? They're laughing, they're staying, and your puzzle is "How do I fleece 'em properly?" Read on, here comes your cash rewards program.
Hold on to your seat; I'm about to blow an assumption. It's not your hat line. In fact, the moneyest* acts out there are not using a hat line at all, but we're not about to tell you that. When you've been at it a few years, it's no longer a hat line, my dear: (cupped hand, straight to your ear whisper...) it's a hat conversation. It goes two ways. You are the source of what they hear, and the source of their final statement, which, hopefully, will be delivered on paper. Your management of what they say to themselves about you determines your hat size.
One factor is 'costume.' Some street performers dress down to play up the guilt angle...Don't. Let your clothing be an expression of who you are as a performer. One great example of this is the huge cargo pockets Hawaii Two-0 use, which can hold their bowling balls. Marcus Marconi, now performing for Elvis and Jimi Hendrix, (miss you, funnyman) gave us a street performing workshop at the Montreal IJA Convention back when McDonalds was on its first million burgers. His take on it? "Find a costume you can machine wash. And do so. Frequently."
Clean, see, would be the point here. Why discredit yourself with how you look? Your appearance is a nuance; a punctuation in the hat conversation. Manage the appearance of yourself as someone who is listened to. (Doesn't matter why... because his hair sticks straight up, because she's so eccentric, because he must be brave to wear that blonde wig and tutu... only that you are listened to.) Your costume should work for you, drawing them to you, and communicating a message to them: "I've prepared something for you."
The man who wrote the Book of Love, Martin Ewen, has an overview:
A flush is basically your whole show being a subtle (or not so subtle) feat of social engineering that uses tags (mentions of intent, ie money and amounts) combined with structured skills, personality and timing to illicit a herd response at its end wherein your crowd, because you've made them feel grateful, guilty, obligated or even entertained (and quite often a mixture carefully calculated) stampede forward like mindless drones to deposit the beginnings of your mortgage/orphanage donation/binge, in your hat.
Acerbic, as always, and one hopes the stampede is mindful, not mindless, but the holistic view of what it takes is in that paragraph. Lets look.
Tags: Yes. They work to inform your crowd, on the way through, that you are at work here. This implies that in their sticking around, a deal is being made, without demanding anything. I sometimes thank everyone for coming before my finale, and announce that everything up to this point was free. If you would like to see one more, know that I expect you to pay after. If you are a person planning not to pay, thanks for coming, its been real, please leave now.
Structured Skills: Oh Yes. End high. Do your homework, and then do more. No one walks away because the trick is too outstanding.
Personality: Have one. Larger than life. And I disagree with some of the convention on this; I like to stay in character through the hat. Some people want you to let them tip 'You,' not your character. I don't think so. And I'm right.
Timing! I've gone so far as to announce that if you do plan to pay after this trick, please rush right up and set the example. This could easily be under-explored in terms of re-defining audience participation. Hmm, mabe I should delete that. Bill Ferguson goes so far as to go through a man's wallet, and tell him and all gathered exactly what the man can afford, then take same. To pull that off, you might want to become Bill Ferguson first. Before attempting that, please ask your pharmacist.
Have three mentions of the hat in your show, at least, if you want to pay the rent at this game. Have fun with it! Create blown up versions of why you need money from your reality. Take what is really in your life and make it funny. My partner Ned used to tell 'em at South Street that he needed to make a payment on the Audi. Always got a laugh. So did Ned, especially when someone from his crowds would go "HEY!" when they saw him later, in the Audi they thought was the stuff of sarcasm, pulling out of the expensive parking lot.
I still love the idea of strangers dumping their money into my hat because I chose, on that day, to make it happen. Don't be shy. I know plenty of "artists" who are squeamish about asking for money for their talents. You find that sort taking "real jobs." It's a worthy line of inquiry. It's a fun puzzle. Go get 'em, and then come tell me what worked.

Free boiler grant scheme in Lambeth
Government grants for free boilers are now available in Lambeth. The free boiler scheme provides energy-efficient gas boiler replacements for low income households throughout the Lambeth area. Boiler grants are designed to help lower heating bills and carbon dioxide emissions.
The A Grade, eco-friendly, gas condensing boilers are energy efficient and will mean a reduction in gas bills for many who qualify for a Government energy-saving grant under the new scheme.
The Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) Affordable Warmth boiler grant scheme is Government led and funded by the six biggest utility companies in the UK – British Gas, Scottish Power, EDF. NPower, SSE and EON.
Boiler Grant Application
The process for applying for a free boiler grant is a straightforward process consisting of the following stages.
Boiler Grant Contact Form
Free Boiler Survey
Boiler Grant Qualification
Free Boiler Installation
Boiler Grant Contact Form
The first stage of your boiler grant application is to provide us with a few details via boiler grant application form. This enables us to identify a domestic energy assessor in your area.
Free Boiler Survey
The Domestic Energy Assessor will check your boiler's its energy performance to see if you are eligible for a boiler grant. To have a new replacement boiler installed your existing gas boiler must not be a condensing boiler. Your existing boiler must also be either over ten years old or must have a low energy efficiency rating.
Boiler Grant Qualification
The boiler grant survey will only take a short time. The assessor will also ask you to provide verification of your address. This will be via your mortgage statement or your tenancy lease. He will then fill in your details in the boiler grant application form.
Free Boiler Installation
If you qualify for a boiler grant the assessor will arrange a date for your free boiler to be installed. All boilers installed under the boiler grant scheme come with manufacturer's warranty etc.
The new replacement boiler grants replace the old boiler scrappage scheme, which was phased out in 2012.
Free boiler grants are available for pensioners who receive State Pension Credit and for families in receipt of Tax Credits.
Pay Monthly Boilers
If you don't qualify for a free boiler most heating installers are currently offering pay monthly boiler finance plans. By replacing your old boiler with a new energy efficient one you can more or less cover the cost of the monthly payments with the money you save on heating bills.
In addition a new boiler will come with a warranty so any existing boiler maintenance cover you may have won't be needed, meaning you may actually end up paying less per month for a brand new boiler. Find out more here – Pay monthly boilers.
Other ways to pay
If you don't qualify for a boiler grant and you would rather not be tied to monthly payments let us find the best deal for a new boiler for you.
Provide us with a few details and we can put you in touch with three approved local installers in the your area. Each will provide a no obligation quote and you can choose the best price for a new boiler.

NOTE: The second time I made these, I used Tyler Florence's method of cooking the potatoes right in the cream (you can view it here). I then poured out the cream (saving it), once the potatoes were tender, and use half of it to puree with the basil, with a blender. I think the blender worked better. The remaining hot cream is reserved, on low heat, to fresh up or reheat the potatoes. This technique worked really well!
VERDICT: My husband, son and I really loved the flavor of these potatoes. This might sound odd, but my men said it kind of tasted "pumpkin pie". Don't ask me why, but they both agreed. Pumpkin pie? I tasted basil and Parmesan. I am so fond of garlic mashed potatoes, so I made this recipe a second time. Not only did I cook the potatoes in the hot cream, but I threw in one clove of garlic. I really liked this version a lot. My husband said that these didn't taste like pumpkin pie. Well, that's good. I have no idea what tricks their taste buds were playing. The bottom line is, these are a colorful and flavorful way to enjoy fresh basil. One more Ina Garten recipe success story. I can see why I have all of her cookbooks. They are pretty much fool-proof! I hope you try them!

TV in the main room didn't work, not a huge deal-but still. Bed was comfortable. There were other little issues with the room. Seems like it used to be nice, but it's just an older property that hasn't been kept up. It's ok if you're never gonna be in the room much or just using it to sleep one off. Overall average or slightly below average
Can't wait for a return visit next year!!!!
The Palms of Destin was a good place for our family to stay while vacationing in Destin. We enjoyed the pool and close access to the beach.
After arriving at 4am. The room was great, clean , great view. The pool was full of leave,.the pool and not been clean in least a week. After two day we show the pool guy cleaning which he did not finish. The shuttle was not useful because if you miss the bus you have wait a full hour for the next one. It was easier to drive because there was free parking at all its stops.
My husband and I stayed here for three days and four nights with our 6 year old daughter. We Vacationed with some other family members staying in the unit next door. The condo was just right; no major issues. Plenty of space, large balcony (sunsets were beautiful), and the A/C worked great once it got going. The wifi worked fine (a big deal for us), it was very clean, water pressure in bathrooms was sufficient, pots/pans were serviceable, but some oven mitts would have been nice. The bed was not very comfortable - a little too firm - and the pillows were awful. You may want to bring your own. We thought having to memorize a room code would be an issue, but we all had it memorized be the end of our first day there, and it was nice not having to worry with a key card. The pool was beautiful and despite a lot of people, never felt crowded. The restaurant onsite was VERY pricey, and nobody from our party was very impressed with the food. Also, we brought our daughter's Xbox but there was no HDMI hookup on any of the three TVs. It was a little disappointing but probably not a dealbreaker, as my husband said as we were checking out: "I think we've found our place." :) bonus tip: you can take a back way to Walmart just by taking a right instead of a left toward Highway 98 when you leave the parking lot of the resort! Just go through the Bealls parking lot and you're there:)
Resort was really nice. Our condo could use some updating. Our key cards didn't work on any of the scanners. The lagoon pool was awesome! Shuttle would have been convient but we chose to drive.

Thus, many disputes are caused by the realization by the non-Korean party that he/she doesn't need the Korean party and the realization by the non-Korean party that the Korean party had no intent in following the joint venture agreement.
We find that a joint venture is, normally, only successful in a few situations. The following are the major situations that we encounter that tend to make sense for both parties.
- The Korean party has instant access to a proven distribution network (retail outlets) or supply chain and the non-Korean has a product that easily fits into this supply chain. Often this, however, is best addressed through a distribution/license agreement and, not, a joint venture agreement, but in some cases the joint venture makes sense. Be careful, often a joint venture is not necessary and changed circumstances can kill the relationship.
- The industry is an industry closed to foreigners (few industries in Korea as closed to foreigners - ie. publishing) and the Korean party needs the expertise or money of the non-Korean party in order to succeed in the industry. Be careful, needs often quickly change and, often, these industries are heavily regulated and, often, lead into a money pit that you will never dig anything out of. Knowing the governor does not mean that you will receive government support. Everyone in Korea has contacts, however, few are able to capitalize on these contacts, thus, don't be sold a can of hooks.
- The non-Korean party is broke and, thus, unable to commercialize an invention and the Korean party is in need of a new product line or has spare manufacturing capacity. Be careful, the learning curve may not be as great as you think and this you may not be needed for too long.
- The industry is a niche industry with only a handful of players and the non-Korean can receive instant access to one of the main players through the joint venture and the Korean is able to gain access to the technology through the joint venture. Typically, this is a joint venture between a Korean conglomerate (chaebol) and a multinational company. Often these relationships are fleeting and lead us to many hours in arbitration.

Claiming Exodus
A Cultural History of Afro-Atlantic Identity, 1774-1903
By Rhondda Robinson Thomas
Subjects: All Cultural Studies, All History, All Literature, American History
During the 18th century, American Puritans introduced migrant and enslaved Africans to the Exodus story. In contrast to the ways white Americans appropriated the texts to defend the practice of slavery, African migrants and slaves would recast the Exodus in defense of freedom and equality, creating narratives that would ultimately propel abolition and result in a wellspring of powerful writing.
Drawing on a broad collection of Afro-Atlantic authors, Rhondda Robinson Thomas shows how writers such as Absalom Jones, Daniel Coker, and W.E.B. Du Bois employed the Exodus metanarrative to ask profound, difficult questions of the African experience. These writers employed it as a literary muse, warranting, Thomas contends, that they be classified and studied as a unique literary genre. Through an arresting reading of works renowned to the largely unknown, Claiming Exodus uncovers in these writings a robust foundation for enacting political change and a stimulating picture of Africans constructing their own identity in a new and unfamiliar land.
List of Illustrations
1. Exodus and the Politics of Liberty (1774–1800)
2. Exodus as the Blueprint for Building Free Black Communities (1800–1840)
3. Exodus in the Era of Manifest Destiny (1840–1861)
4. Exodus, the Civil War, and Reconstruction (1861–1877)
5. African Americans in the Nadir (1877–1900)
Scripture Index
General Index
"The Exodus narrative has met with a long history of fascination and engagement in Black Christianity. Rhondda Thomas has delved into this intersection of race, slavery, and religion operating under the sign of freedom to compose an important contribution to the field of Africana religions."
—Sylvester A. Johnson, Associate Professor of African American Studies and Religious Studies, Northwestern University and co-editor, Journal of Africana Religions
"Thomas's work is a compact study of the Exodus trope in the African American experience that will benefit general readers as well as undregraduate teachers and their students."
—Michael O. West, Binghampton University, The Historian
"Thomas searches an impressively vast archive to discover how African-Americans wrestled with the entire Biblical saga of Israelite enslavement and emancipation as they staged their own movement towards self-determination. Importantly, she probes not only the moments when the Exodus saga uplifted and inspired but also when it failed to deliver. Claiming Exodus reminds us why religion matters profoundly to the way Americans imagine themselves out of narrow places."
—Joanna Brooks, author of American Lazarus: Religion and the Rise of African-American and Native American Literatures and editor of Transatlantic Feminisms in the Age of Revolutions
Rhondda Robinson Thomas is Assistant Professor of English at Clemson University. She lives near Greenville, South Carolina.

Uploaded. at Friday, November 24th 2017 01:31:46 AM under Chair by Chloe Jorgensen.
Dimension. 2000x1674 pixels.
Resolution. High Resolution.
Category. Chair.
Total. 29 image Chair Ideas.
In addition to the style of chair you choose and the type of material it is made of you also want to take in consideration the color of the accent chair. No matter how great the type of chair you choose, if it is the wrong color it can totally throw off the decor of the room. If you want to add warmth to a room choose neutral colors like brown, beige, yellow, and gold. If you would like to make your accent chair the focus of the room, choose a strong, bold color like red or black. If you would like to add a bit of spring to the room choose a pastel color like light blue or pale pink.
Your body should be able to fit perfectly on the chair. The backrest should be at least a little higher than your shoulder so it also supports your shoulder when you lean back. Another thing to take into consideration is if the chair has features to control or change the height of the chair to fit the length of your leg from your knees to your feet. A chair with a roller is advantageous because it allows you to move around your desk when you need to move away to get something from behind you. Another advantage that you should consider in picking the right chair is being able to move your chair back or no t having to twist your body when you need to get something behind or beside you.

Friday Video – Billy Joel, "Goodnight Saigon"
Click here to listen to Billy Joel's The Nylon Curtain on Spotify
Admittedly, this is not much of a happy hour song, but it's Veteran's Day – there aren't a whole lot of upbeat songs about war veterans and what they endure in order to preserve freedom for the rest of us. Whatever your feelings about war, we should all thank our lucky stars that there are men and women who are willing to do the unthinkable so we can tweet from the safe zone about how miserable our meaningless little lives are. Just sayin'.
While we had our choice of songs on the subject, we went with Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon" for a number of reasons. For starters, it's one of his best songs, with an unforgettable climbing piano progression. Second of all, he describes the vibe of the soldiers like he was there. Unbridled enthusiasm and naivete became fear, panic and the kind of mental scarring that does not fade with time. He even brings in what are clearly Vietnam veterans to sing the simple but devastating chorus of "And we would all go down together." Joel has written some enduring work, but this is his most powerful.
For those unfamiliar with this song, may we suggest that you hunt down The Nylon Curtain, the album from which it came, at once. (To make this easier, we included a link to the album on Spotify above.) It is, in our opinion, Joel's best album by a country mile. Think of it as a giant tribute to the Beatles, and a dark, angry tribute at that.

We have cut ties with all banks due to the fact that opening a bank account means you have accepted the presented terms which in most casses contain acceptance of riba or other haraam, and even kufr etc. we recieve income cheques each month but are not able to cash it because we dont have an account at the bank. There are stores which cash them for a certain percentage of commision and take some money for processing aswell. I need to know what is mentioned in the shariah regarding this matter or matters as such.
Cashing a cheque through a financial services company in return for a fee or commission may be done in several ways:
Where the cheque is due, so the company cashes it through the bank in return for a fee or commission. There is nothing wrong with this, because it is a kind of fee or commission in return for work, which is going back to the bank and collecting the money from it. The company is not entitled to this commission and does not take possession of it unless it actually gets the cash from the bank. But if it is stipulated that it will take [the commission] before the cheque is cashed, that is not valid.
See: al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 15/218
Where the company pays the amount stated on the cheque to the bearer, minus its commission, then after that it collects the money from the bank. This is not permissible, because it is exchanging money for money with a difference in the amounts, or it is a loan of the amount stated on the cheque to the customer in return for something extra, both of which are riba.
The way in which it is an exchange of different amounts is that if the cheque is for one thousand, for example, and the company gives him nine hundred, then he has exchanged one thousand for nine hundred, and this is riba al-fadl.
The way in which it is a riba-based loan is if the company gives the customer nine hundred, and the cheque at this moment is still in the name of the customer and in his possession; then the company has loaned him nine hundred on the basis that it will take back one thousand when it cashes the cheque at the bank.
Where the cheque is post dated, and the company gives the money to the customer, then cashes the cheque with the bank on the date written on it. This is also haraam, for the two reasons mentioned above.
See also the answer to question no. 114733.
To sum up: the permissible way of doing this is agreeing with the company that it will cash the cheque and collect the money from the bank, in return for a specific amount of money or percentage, which it is entitled to when it finishes its work and collects the money from the bank.
And Allah knows best.

Illinois' Pieters takes individual title
Playoff between Kent State, Florida State to settle final qualifier
LOS ANGELES -- Illinois sophomore Thomas Pieters shot a final-round 71 to win the NCAA Division I individual championship on Thursday at Riviera Country Club.
Pieters finished at 5-under 208, three shots better than Julien Brun of TCU and Florida's Tyler McCumber, son of PGA Tour player, Mark McCumber.
Pieters began the day with a two-stroke lead and after a bogey on his sixth hole was tied with UCLA's Anton Arboleda. The Belgian made a birdie on the next hole and never relinquished the lead.
''It was a tough day,'' Pieters said. ''My strategy was to make a lot of pars. I struggled a little and the last couple of holes I was nervous, but I managed to hang on.''
Alabama went wire-to-wire in stroke play to grab the No. 1 seed going into Friday's match play. The Crimson Tide finished with a three-day total of 7-over par 859. UCLA finished second, two shots behind. Texas, San Diego State - California, Washington and Oregon earned the other spots.
Florida State and Kent State finished tied for the eighth and final spot. They will return Friday morning and all five team members will play sudden death with the best four scores counting.
Alabama will wait to see who it faces in the first round.
''They were a little nervous, but we told them the goal was to finish first,'' Alabama coach Jay Seawell said. ''If you just try to qualify, you can fail. We wanted them to play like they have all week and for the most part they did.''

Shhhh – get into the Sun Hospitality Suite at Burton Catalyst 2009 FREE
I blogged last week about Sun's hospitality suite at the Burton Catalyst conference in San Diego later this month (July 29th to be exact). I included a priority code in that post that would get you a discount off Catalyst conference registration; well, with a bit of digging I've unearthed the code that will get you a pass to get into the hospitality suites (NOT the sessions, mind) absolutely free (and, as we all know, there's nothing better than free, right?). Just register at the Burton site with super-duper secret priority code sun1du0w - and, shhhhh - don't tell them you got it here 😉

If your cat seems bored with its food, offer a wet food with a different texture and flavor. Experiment by placing a few different types side by side to see which one your cat likes best.read more
Name: Sookie
Age: 9 Months
Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Owner: Tracy
Hometown: San Francisco, CA
Likes: Anything that crinkles, snuggling and small spaces
Dislikes: Strangers
Tracy says:
SSookie and her sister Pumpkin were adopted at the age of three months. She loves to cuddle and will often snuggle up on her owner's lap or up by her neck giving lots of kisses. SSookie spends her days teasing her sister, watching pigeons, and playing with anything small enough to bat around. Her two favorite activities are tormenting her sister and playing with her dry food. She is quite shy with strangers but if you are patient, she warms up.

Econsultancy's Peer Summit, now in its third year, is our invitation-only event for senior client-side digital marketers to help you meet your peers and learn from each other about the latest best practice, what's working and what's not.
It's a 'hands-on' participatory event: you will network and learn through discussion, roundtables and debate.
Thanks to everybody who participated to make this a first-class event - we look forward to seeing you February 2012 for Digital Cream New York!
The Roundtable Format
The topic-focused roundtable format allows you to discuss a number of subjects that are most relevant to you and find out from your peers how they are addressing the challenges and opportunities you are also facing. These typically include questions around best practice, measurement, ROI, resourcing, supplier selection, recruitment, business processes, budgeting, trends etc.
There are three roundtable sessions of an hour and fifteen minutes each. Each roundtable is moderated and focuses on a particular topic with the roundtable attendees proposing specific questions or challenges they wish to discuss on that topic in the time available.
So the specific agenda for each topic roundtable will depend on the input of the delegates.

Shelter offers tips to help diffuse tension over dogsBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
January 18. 2013 12:34AM
HAMPSTEAD - As someone who spends her days saving dogs from homelessness and those at risk of being killed in a shelter, Melissa Hannon hopes there are lessons to be learned following the deadly shooting of a dog that wandered onto a Hampstead neighbor's property.
Hannon and her husband, Bo, are founders of Peace and Paws, a Hillsborough-based nonprofit, all-volunteer, foster-based rescue for abandoned dogs and others in high-kill shelters.
She said incidents like the one in Hampstead are more common than people realize in states where it's legal to kill a dog that comes onto private property, but added there are steps that could be taken to avoid problems.
"In this case, a sturdy fence between the two neighbors could have been a simple solution that would have avoided a lot of heartache on both sides," she said. "Know your neighbors and their pets. If you have pets, make sure you know if your neighbors are scared of or don't like them, and plan accordingly. And watch out for your neighbors' pets; if you see a neighbor's dog has gotten out of the house or yard, call your neighbor and help get the situation taken care of before someone else handles it irrationally."
Hannon's advice comes after Hampstead resident Christopher Gibbons shot and killed his neighbor's dog, Sadie, a 6-year-old Brittany spaniel, with his AR-15 semi-automatic rifle on Jan. 5.
Gibbons claimed he killed the dog after she came onto his property and began barking and frightening his caged rabbits.
Sadie's owners, Fred and Judy Galietta, expressed outrage after the killing, saying there was no need to kill their dog and that the shooting was unjustified.
Police investigated the shooting but said Gibbons had a legal right to kill the dog under a state law that gives owners of livestock and other domestic animals authority to kill dogs that cause "worrying" for their animals.
While it's difficult to make a judgment when the facts surrounding the Hampstead dog shooting aren't clear, Hannon said the case seems extreme.
"There are varying accounts of what happened. The man who killed the dog says it was vicious and was trying to harm his animals; the dog's owner says the dog was harmless and was too small to have done any damage to the rabbits' enclosure. Based on current law, the homeowner was within his rights to kill the dog," she said.
But Hannon said there are other nonviolent ways that could have been used to deal with the situation.
"The homeowner could have picked up the phone and called the neighbor who owned the dog and asked her to come retrieve it. He could have called animal control to come pick up the dog. He could have distracted the dog with treats long enough to put a leash on it and walk it back over to the neighbor's home. The dog was not that large; any grown man could have approached it and either grabbed it by the collar or picked it up and taken it away from the cage," she said.
Hannon added, "Incidents like this show that we're paying a steep price for being more closed off to people who live in our neighborhoods. It used to be that if neighbors had a problem or dispute, they could discuss it and try to come to some kind of resolution. We're hearing more stories about neighbors who resort to violence instead of trying to talk to each other."
Hannon said education about dogs and typical dog behavior is also important.
"People need to learn the difference between an aggressive dog and one that is fearful or is just barking out of excitement. There are different body cues a dog will present, and if more people knew how to recognize these, they would learn that in many cases, they have nothing to fear," she said.
Dog owners also need to be vigilant about their own pets, Hannon said.
"Even the friendliest, most well-trained dog can sometimes get away from you, especially if there is something tempting like another animal within view. Even dog owners with fenced-in yards should keep a close eye on their pets. Dogs are very curious, and they are pack animals. If they are bored from being left outside alone for hours, or if something catches their attention in another yard, they will try to investigate it. That's the nature of a dog," she said.
