I got this letter yesterday-it's from an IC for Saturday's exercise. It's worth reposting.
Hello Everybody,
The tremendous success of Saturdays exercise is a testament to the expert training provided by Steve Willey, Mike Forgy and Richard, I don't know your last name but it should be "Superman", in the "Carry" portion of our training Richard put me on his back and carried me across the class room, and I'm 6'7 250. These 3 guys are the "Grand Masters" of rescuing the masses.
This was my 1st time as an Incident Commander and I'm grateful that I was chosen to run operations in Delta building (5) Its a fact that a team will take on the persona of its leaders, and "Big Country Jackson" set the tone from the git go. He was cool, confident and believed in me and the IC for Hotel team whose name I can't remember, but I haven't forgotten your actions. I know why he was chosen to be an IC, I worked with him at the "Capital Shield" exercise and if you don't know him let me tell you he does everything well.
I take my hat off to Alex, Penny and Laura for doing the work of 10 people in Deltas medical area, we were short handed and couldn't provide them help until Jackson sent us reinforcements from Hotel team.
Once teams of 2 from Hotel began arriving they were immediately given 2-4 green tags to commandeer on extraction and transportation of victims to medical.
I also broke an existing Delta team in two and filled in the 2 teams with green tags.
The overall Logistics team can only be compared to "Radar" from M.A.S.H.....whatever I needed I got, including asking their assistance to help clear victims out of a room who were red tags so medical could expand operations into that room. Also those extra stretchers you got me enabled those reinforcements Jackson sent to do their job...bravo. Folks we had a lot of victims in Delta building 5, I was told there was at least double what Hotel had. Buy the end of the day Deltas medical area encompassed 4 rooms.
You stretcher carriers have the heart of a lion, it was cold, dark and the terrain was treacherous, but they went off into the darkness time and time again until everyone was brought back.
Andrew is who I chose to be the scribe for me at Delta IC. This guy is an "Accounting Ninja", he tracked CERT's flowing in and out of IC like it was Grand Central Station, he constantly checked and rechecked his stats with Whitney and Deltas medical accountants who were awesome. Spencer and the tall gentleman whom I'm sorry I forgot his name , but he is great.
Radios were beneficial for IC to speed up requests, transmissions were kept to a minimum.
I also want to commend Mike Hanlon for his performance throughout the course and on the final exercise, he is only 16 but was given permission to attend training if I sponsored him, he is as strong as a bull and his stretcher team carried more victims to medical than any other during Saturdays exercise.
These are all the CERT emails I have so whoever has the master list please forward this to every CERT whether they were there Saturday or not. We all benefit from sharing situations encountered in the field, what worked , what didn't etc...
This was a tough but rewarding day, there is something to be said about those who put themselves in harms way for total strangers, "He who gives himself to save another will certainly be saved" (Jesus Christ)...perhaps its best simply stated as "They are heroes"!
I invite you all to visit my website/blog Global Strategic Survival Solutions, gssurvivalsolutions.com and read "Your neighbors will be your first responders" along with this awesome training hopefully this will help you prepare and organize your community against disaster.
Thank you CERT veterans for donating your time to make us better, and thank you everybody for your friendship.
Your Friend
Eric "Kong" Bjerke

The patented SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY with intelligent position recognition automatically switches to the best transmission antenna. You will be found easier. We make no compromises in terms of searching either. The 3+ is equipped with all the features of a modern, digital 3-antenna device. The illuminated real-time display tells you the direction, distance and number of victims. The tendency display, combined with the intuitive search acoustics, leaves no doubt when operating in fine search mode. Once located, victims can be removed from the display using the flagging function. The motion-sensor-based follow-up avalanche switchover ensures additional safety. We have also thought about the future: the 3+ can be updated and protects the environment with just a single battery. SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY More easily found with the 3+! The integrated SMART-ANTENNA-TECHNOLOGY analyses the position of the antennas in the avalanche and automatically switches to the best transmission antenna. The result: Almost double the range in the worst coupling position, regardless of the beacon used for searching. SECONDARY AVALANCHE SWITCHOVER We have added a motion sensor to the 3+ to enable secondary avalanche switchover. If the sensor has not detected any motion for 120 seconds during the search, it automatically switches back to transmit mode. Thus rescuers can also be found if there has been a secondary avalanche. RECCO REFLECTOR INSIDE For maximum protection, we've also equipped the 3+ with a Recco reflector. Recco helps professional rescuers find victims buried in the snow even faster. This offers an additional possibility of being found quickly. The backup technology is used by more than 700 ski areas and rescue teams around the world.

What started this journey...
My journey started on June 16, 2005 on what will always be known as the worst hair day of my knatural borne life and the day I made the best decision of my life. My 3 year old afro was not acting right and wasn't showing any signs of acting right soon. I brushed, plaited, twisted, oiled, washed, wrapped up and puffed, but all to no avail, when my BSF said the words I'll never forget. "Why don't we just lock up? I mean, you've been talking about it, and if you do it then I'll do it with you." Priceless words. Well, once we decided that we immediately went online, did our research and figured out how we were going to start them and with what product. I started my 4-5in. locks with two strand twist, using ORS lock and twist gel. You can view my journey at http://www.fotki.com/TheCurlyOne/ and see photos from before I started locking up until a few months ago. My regime has stayed pretty consistant over the years and that requires me to do a retwist every 3 to 4 weeks. I'll do a touch up on the front locks if I want to go an extra week without doing a full retwist. I'm currently palmrolling but I am research the nappy locs too to see how latching feels for me. I'd like to latch the back and continue to palm roll the front because I love the coiled retwist look that you don't get from the latch method. I'm coming upon my 3 year lockaversary and I want to do something special to my locks. A straw or roller set using pipe cleaners will probably be the next style that I attempt. I have everything I need I just have to actually sit down and do it.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for international Scientific Research
The organization and the structure of the genes encoding phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and chalcone synthase (CHS) were determined and the effects of elicitor and suppressor produced by a pea pathogen, Mycosphaerella pinodes, were examined by transforming a chimeric DNA containing the PAL- and CHS-promoter fragments connected to a reporter gene into tobacco or pea plant with particle gun, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, or electroporation.1. Analysis of PAL genes. Chimeric DNA containing PAL promoter fragment connected to luciferase gene (lux), beta-glucuronidase (GUS) or chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene as a reporter were constructed. Chimeric DNA (PAL-GUS) in the vector, pBI101, were introduced into tobacco and pea by Agrobacterium mediated- transformation. Km^R-transgenic tobacco plants were regenerated from the callus. GUS activities were induced by the treatment with pathogen or elicitors in some of the transgenic plants. Since the regeneration line of pea p

lant has not been established from the single cell lines, we obtained Km^R calli and the induction of GUS activities were examined by the treatment with fungal elicitor and the infection of pathogens. Considerable induction of GUS activity was observed in some of the callus. The integration of the chimeric DNA into the plant chromosomes are currently under investigation. Gene transfer by using a particle gun (Dupont Inc.) into these plants were performed at UCD, Davis. Cytological studies showed that plants with Lux or GUS gene connected to 35S promoter as a control exhibited the distinctive GUS atibity in the cells possibly carrying the chimeric DNA, however those with PAL promoter did not exhibit GUS or Lux activities even by the treatment with fungal elicitor. Furthermore, the sequentially deleted promoter fragment of PSPAL1 connected to a plant expression vector containing the reporter gene (CAT) was introduced into pea protoplasts by electroporation, and induction by elicitor and suppression by orthovanadate was examined. Cis-element responsible for these regulations exists between -340--140 of PSPAL1.2. Analysis of CHS gene. The structure and the organization of three major CHS genes were determined from 38 CHS-cDNAs prepared from elicitor treated pea epicotyl tissues. Two of the major pea CHS genes (PSCHS1, PSCHS2) from a cluster in a tandem repeat with a spacer, and an identical 31 bp sequence containing the consensus motif of box I located 5'-upstream from the putative TATA box of both CHS genes. Buth were highly expressed even without the treatment with fungal elicitor by transient transformation assay mentioned above, which indicate that the activator elements exist in the promoter-distal region (PCHS1 : -1493 - +80, and PCHS2 : - 1889 - +83).3. Isolation of signalling substances from the pathogen and study of the signal transduction pathway Prof. C. I. Kado visited our laboratory on December, 1991, and discussed about the signaling substances produced by the pathogens. We particularly focused on the substances that blocked the induction of defense reactions. Since M. pinodes suppressor specifically inhibits pea plasma membrane ATPase, he examined bacterial signalling molecules from the aspect of blocking PM-ATPase. Less

Born in Jesi, Italy, Luca Silvestrini graduated in Performing Arts at Bologna University. In 1995, he moved to London to complete his dance training at Laban. Since then Luca has worked with Maxine Doyle's First Person, Catherine Seymour Dance Company, Lea Anderson and The Featherstonehaughs, Rose's Thoughts, Bock & Vincenzi, Sarah Rubidge, Joanna Portolou, Ruth Segalis and Aletta Collins.
His choreography dates from 1997 when he co-founded Protein. As Artistic Director he is known for idiosyncratic dance theatre work provoked by its deep connections with the everyday. His personality is stamped on large-scale cross-generational and participatory events including the world record-breaking Big Dance Class, Eat London (which won a Visit London Gold Award) and Big World Dance 2010, both of which took place in Trafalgar Square. Being equally at home working with professionals and non-professionals has extended international demand for Luca's work to community settings and he has created large-scale inter-generational productions in Valenciennes, Athens, Barcelona, Turin and Kinosaki, Japan; and has taught and presented Protein's participatory work at schools and conferences in Singapore, Spain and Italy.
In addition to his work for Protein, Luca has created work for the Royal Opera House, Transitions Dance Company, CandoCo, Bare Bones, Intoto, From Here To Maturity, Company of Elders at Sadler's Wells, Sankalpalm and HeadSpace Dance. Theatre and opera credits include work for English National Opera, Theatre Rites, Royal Court Theatre, Duckie and Youth Music Theatre UK. He has won a Jerwood Choreography Award, a Bonnie Bird New Choreography Award and The Place Prize 2006 Audience Award and was one of the first recipients of a Rayne Fellowship for Choreographers (2006). In 2012 he was selected by the European modul-dance project to develop the piece Border Tales, focusing on multi-cultural Britain and how we perceive ourselves and each other, which toured the UK in 2013/14.
Luca is a Work Place artist.
Protein has created its most playful show to date with a new immersive work that features four vocalists and four dancers, singing for their supper in a dining setting that may contain food...
This witty piece of dance and music theatre is inspired by social occasions and life at mealtimes. The performers invite you to sit at a table, offer a tasting menu and then serve you a show that explores our relationship with food. All sound is performed a cappella as movement is composed and music is choreographed, creating an intimate experience of indulgence, nostalgia and mischief.
Watch May Contain Food Trailer
May Contain Food was commissioned by The Place and funded by Arts Council England, The London Community Foundation and Cockayne – Grants for the Arts. Supported by the Greenwich Dance & Trinity Laban Partnership, The Place Choreodrome and the Jerwood Choreographic Research Project, with funds from The Jerwood Charitable Foundation, Appetite, Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Pavilion Dance South West, Swindon Dance and The Royal Ballet.
With an engaging blend of dance, dialogue and live music and treated with trademark physical and verbal wit, Border Tales looks at multi-cultural living in the UK seen through the eyes of the characters on stage. Silvestrini turns his sharply satirical gaze to stereotypical thinking, tolerance and where lines are drawn between 'them' and 'us'. Seated in the round to bring you closer to the action, a cast of international dancers and local performers will entertain and provoke you with this amusing yet poignant look at how we perceive ourselves and each other.

"Excellently performed by a multi-talented, international cast, Border Tales is a big, brave, cacophonous attempt to show what it means to live in multicultural Britain today." Guardian
"…the whole thing is superbly stage and performed" Daily Telegraph
"Totally blown away. Amazing contact work. Thoughtful. Bloody funny." Audience member
"An intimate piece that scratches the surface of what I believe to be much broader tales. The intimate proximity to the stage brings to light just how real these issues are in all our lives. Portrayed with majesty and unabashed humour." Audience member
Commissioned by Bath Dance, ICIA Bath, DanceEast, DanceXchange, Dance Manchester and The Place. Supported by modul-dance and the Culture Programme of the EU, Greenwich Dance, Yorkshire Dance, The Place Choreodrome, Trinity Laban, British Council and in co-production with tanzhaus nrw in the frame of modul-dance.
Luca Silvestrini's critically-acclaimed show enters the lives of a group of six people trapped in their webs of aspirations, desires and self-broadcasting.
Reflecting their inability to free themselves from their online personae, the characters narrate their busy and intricate electronic lives as their physical interaction becomes progressively more awkward and out of control. Against a video wall of screen-gazing individuals, the cyber souls stylishly nail the language of life online in their quest for romance. Talking and dancing at speed, they tackle the baffling etiquette of electronic discourse, make hilarious straight-to-the audience confessions, and dance the physical equivalent of poking and tweeting. With video animation by Rachel Davies and original music by Andy Pink, these ingredients conjure a razor-sharp commentary on our Facebook society, and an affecting rendering of human need.

Commissioned by Dance East, Greenwich Dance and The Place and supported by South Hill Park Arts Centre, Bracknell.
(In)visible Dancing is a unique location-based performance intervention, originally conceived in 2010 for International Dance Festival Birmingham (IDFB).
Each (In)visible Dancing project takes the form of a piece of contemporary dance/physical theatre about 30 minutes in length, specially created for a particular location by Protein's Luca Silvestrini. It is performed twice a day over a period of up to two weeks in the same place; typically a busy, outdoor pedestrianised shopping street or indoor shopping centre where there are lots of members of the public.
(In)visible Dancing seemingly grows out of everyday life, developing from what looks like 'incidental' strange behaviour on the street to a fully-fledged dance experience that engages with the architecture of the location. (In)visible Dancing then becomes Visible Dancing, a big-splash finale event engaging 80+ local amateur/community performers in a high profile performance display on the final day of the project. Made as a bespoke piece for each location it's commissioned for, (In)visible Dancing can be experienced in a number of ways – as a passerby enjoying a brief event as street entertainment, an avid watcher following the action as it builds daily, a participant in the finale, or an Apprentice Dancer co-devising and performing the work from beginning to end.
Duration Usually over 7-10 days; 20-30 minutes for each show, twice a day which culminates in a Finale event
People on road 8 (6 dancers, tour manager, choreographer/rehearsal director). 3-5 local dancers will also be recruited by promoter as apprentices for the duration; up to 5 local musicians recruited by promoter
Freight Excess baggage only
Wraparound Masterclasses for professional dancers; Mentoring; short-term apprenticeships for local dancers

Have you read our rules, and do you agree to abide by them? Yes!
Character Info
Canon/Original: Original
First Name(s): Daniel
Surname: Medhurst
Age: 25
Sex: Male
Place of Birth: Edenbridge, Kent
Occupation: Soldier
Family: Father: John Medhurst. Mother: Mary Medhurst. Sister: Edith Tanner. Older brother: Thomas Medhurst. Younger brother: Samuel 'Sammy' Medhurst.
Appearance: Medhurst is not your average whipcord thin Light company soldier. He has a more solid and muscular build than many light troops, and is mainly in the Light company thanks to his height, being a touch below average at five feet and five inches. His most noticeable feature is a port-wine stain birthmark on his right cheek, just below his eye. Otherwise, his appearance is unremarkable, with dark eyes and dark hair worn short according to regulations. He has a tendency to stubble around the mouth and chin, which shows after a day or so, meaning that he has to shave every day in order keep properly clean shaven – something not always possible in bivouac. His uniform is kept as neat as possible on campaign, which is to say, not very – his jacket is patched at the elbows and his trousers (replacements for the issued white ones) are made of brown homespun, the type of cloth used for friars' habits, and are patched at the knees and seat.
Personality: Medhurst is a pretty stolid type of guy, loyal and hard-working. He is not one to shy from a fight if he believes there is cause, whether this is in the line of battle or a simple milling in camp. He is a natural follower, which has prevented him from attaining any sort of rank, even though he can read after a fashion. He is aware that there is something about his appearance that differs from most other people, although he is not so aware of his looks to register what without recourse to a mirror, not having grown up with mirrors in the house (apart from his father's shaving mirror).
Background: Born in a relatively small town a stone's throw from the Kent/Sussex county border, Medhurst always knew there was something a bit different in his appearance compared to most people. The town's industry centred on tanning and iron-working and almost from the moment he could walk, Medhurst was destined for one trade or the other – he had family working in both. Not by nature curious, this suited him until the day a recruiting party of the West Kent regiment came to town, beating up for recruits. Medhurst was taken by the uniforms and the sergeant's patter, and the sudden opportunity to see something of the world apart from the small town and surrounding villages. Not dissuaded by his father's doom and gloom predictions, he took the shilling and set out on a life of adventure that has led to Spain, making Medhurst the only one of his family to have left the shores of England.
Training was not easy for him, but with dogged perseverance, he eventually managed to learn all the required drill and manoeuvres, even though he still finds himself copying his fellow rankers rather than necessarily working out the orders for himself, at least on occasion, although he is getting better at it.
He has neither the imagination nor desire to be anything other than what he is, and what he is is a soldier who is a stolid, dependable type, who will obey orders without flinching and do his best to do his duty as seen by his officers and NCOs. His fellow soldiers like him for his cheerful nature and loyalty, and his officers appreciate his dependability and hard-working nature. His NCOs know that he might not understand something at first but he will work at it regardless.

Sweet and sour
Sour mix, also known as sweet and sour mix or bar mix, is a mixer made of lemon or lime juice and sugar syrup. It is an important part of many cocktails.
To make your own, mix one part heavy sugar syrup (3 parts sugar, 2 parts water) with one part lemon juice, and add 2 egg whites per liter of mix. The egg whites are optional, but will make the drinks slightly foamy. You may want to adjust the sugar/juice ratio to give the mix the right balance of sweetness and tartness.

About Herpes Simplex Virus
There are two types of herpes simplex virus, or HSV. Herpes simplex type 1 is known as oral herpes, while herpes simplex type 2 is known as genital herpes. The two viruses are very similar in all aspects, except that each type tends to infect these different areas of the body.
Both HS1 and HSV2 are transmitted via close contact with someone who is actively infected. Transmission can occur via sexual contact or via lower-intimacy skin-to-skin contact such as during a kiss. The initial infection causes the development of lesions on the infected area; typically the mouth in the case of HSV, and the genitals in the case of HSV2.
After the initial infection, the virus becomes latent, which means it is still present in the body, but no longer causes a symptomatic infection. During the latent period, the virus is present in sensory nerve cells. Occasionally an active, symptomatic infection might occur, often in response to physical or mental stimuli or stress.
The ability of HSV to become latent in sensory nerve cells means that the virus cannot be completely eradicated, therefore infection with HSV is incurable. Treatment for active infection can reduce the severity of lesions and reduce the duration of active infection. Treatment is in generally in the form of topical or oral anti-viral medications.
- slide 2 of 3
Methods for Laboratory Diagnosis of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1
Several different lab tests can be used in the diagnosis of HSV1. These include blood tests for HSV antibodies, and culture tests in which a patient sample is examined for the presence of live viruses.
Laboratory diagnosis of herpes simplex virus type 1 might include one or more of the following test types.
Viral Culture Test
In this test, the patient gives a sample of fluid from an active HSV1 lesion. For best results the sample needs to be given in the first three days after the appearance of the lesion. If the virus is present in the fluid, it can be cultured in the laboratory under the right conditions.
This test can take up to ten days to complete, however, which can be problematic when infection is severe. If the infection is severe enough, the test period can be shortened significantly, but results are less accurate.
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Test
This laboratory test is used to detect viral DNA in the fluid sample. This is useful because a PCR is highly sensitive and can detect viral DNA even when the concentration is very low. It is much faster than a viral cuilture, and produces more accurate results.
Tzanck Smear Test
For this test a sample of scrapings from a lesion is examined under a microscope. In this test the virus itself cannot be detected; what is detected here is signs of HSV infection in cells. This test is fairly old and is not often used, as it is much less accurate than culture or PCR tests.
Serologic Testing
This type of testing involves the use of assays that check a blood sample for antibodies that the body produces in response to HSV infection. If someone has been infected with the virus, their immune system generates antibodies specific to that virus. Serologic testing is particularly useful because it is a quick and relatively simple way to distinguish between HSV1 and HSV2 infection.
The main drawback of this method of laboratory diagnosis of herpes simplex virus type 1 is that it is not effective during initial infection, because it takes time for the body to generate antibodies to the virus. The best time to carry out serologic testing is actually around three to four months after the initial infection.

Apple will release iOS 7.1 "any day now", an update expected to bring several software enhancements to the platform, according to John Gruber of Daring Fireball.
The prominent Apple blogger says the release is necessary for a new iOS app that will stream Apple's first iTunes Festival in the US starting next Tuesday at SXSW in Austin. The app will be released to coincide with iOS 7.1, which explains why it's not out.
Read: iOS 7 vs iOS 7.1: What's going to be new?
iOS 7.1, currently in testing with developers, will feature fixes for iOS 7's "white screen of death" bug, visual changes to the slide-to-unlock functions, as well as the phone, dialer, music, and keyboard, improvements to the keyboard, and a new dialer.
We'll be tracking for an official release from Apple.

Former Nebraska Republican state treasurer and retired U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Shane Osborn is making a run to be his state's next senator. He's hoping to succeed retiring Republican Senator Mike Johanns.
Osborn gained national attention in April 2001 when flying a routine Navy mission in the Pacific. His plane was hit by a Chinese fighter over international airspace and landed in China. The Chinese government held him and his crew hostage for 12 days.
Fox News National Security Analyst K.T. McFarland spoke to Osborn about his experience in China and his senate campaign.
Osborn explained how the incident with China first happened.
"We were off the coast of China … a Chinese fighter jet was being a hotshot, joined up on us and hit us … we fell into a dive … we lost almost 16,000 feet before we got it out," said Osborn. "We have to land in China and taken off at gunpoint and held for 12 days … they just interrogated us for 12 days and my new name was 'Master Spy' and they threatened our lives."
After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Osborn extended his tour.
"I volunteered and flew some of the initial combat missions in Afghanistan," said Osborn.
Osborn said his experience in the military allows him be a strong leader for Nebraska. "My ability to serve my country and survive pretty tough times taught me a lot about leadership."
He said his time already as the state's treasurer proves he shares the same values as Nebraskans.
"I'm a fiscal conservative," said Osborn. "I actually shrunk my budget over 10% over 4 years … I cut over 1/5 of the staff but we made the office more efficient."
Osborn pointed out the low number of current combat veterans in the U.S. Senate.
"That's a problem," said Osborn. "We need more people that are going to put the country above their own political wellbeing and get things done."

Product Musings: Mirenesse
Today is a rather busy day for this Muse.�� How's your day been so far?�� This morning I was trying to quick dab and go makeup and was looking through some of my older, mixed up makeup draws and I happened upon some of my Mirenesse collection.� Whoa totally a break down moment as I forgot how much I enjoyed the brand back in the day.
In honor of my dash and go look I created today using Mirenesse I thought I'd do a little Product Musing about it.
Gather round kids let's Muse Mirenesse.
Please tell you've discovered the joys of this great little Australian brand. My first try was when I seen a presentation of the color cosmetics on HSN. Now normally HSN isn't always the best place in the world for cool makeup finds, I leave that up to QVC. But on a rare occasion I have discovered pretty awesome brands on it such as Morgen Schick. The best news is that Mirenesse is now widely available on their own website where as a few years ago it was kinda exclusive to HSN if you were in the US.
I consider it bit of an Indie line as it's not widely known but still manages to have a small groupie base that really adores it. They make incredible mascara which is one item that really sticks out for me. Another item that I really adored were the Mirenesse Piano Eye and Lip Palettes. These kinda mimic Milani's Runway Eyes but they were out way before. Each palette contains five strips of color for eyes or lips. The colors are all quite pigmented. At the time the design really tickled me as nothing else on the market was quite like it.
I've since discovered many little bits and pieces from Mirenesse that I really love. It's one of those interesting brands that no one really knows about but when they do discovery it, it's a love.
Hope you'll take some time out today to Muse Mirenesse with me if you're a fan.
If you're not, a happy adventure awaits you.

Author Notes: I must admit that Texas Toast puzzled me for awhile as I watched it pop up over and over in a lot mediocre menu items in restaurants. Finally I bought a loaf just to mess around with. Now I'm a convert. I discovered that its sturdy structure makes a better platform for things like Welsh rarebit and, in this case grilled cheese, than plain old white sandwich bread. One of my friends from Louisiana used to make what he called his "white trash" sandwich which was fried, soft shell crab with a ketchup based sauce. I can't wait for summer to try that one out. For best results use a sandwich press such as a Cuisinart "Griddler" or other Panini press. —pierino
Serves: 1 but can be multiplied
slices Texas Toast ( I use Rainbo "restaurant style")
thin slices red onion
slices cored green apple
slices Swiss cheese
slices American cheese
tablespoon Coleman's mustard to taste
tablespoons Hellman's or Best Foods mayo
- Spread some Coleman's on one slice of bread. Spread mayo on the other side of the bread and also on top of bread.
- Top with the Swiss Cheese
- Next the apple slices
- Top that with the American cheese
- Finish with the onion slices
- Close up with the final slice of bread
- Grill to your taste level. The cheese should be melted but not runny, and the bread should be golden and not too browned.
- Repeat for as many sandwiches as you need.

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)
The Civilian Conservation Corps was established in 1933. It was designed to provide work for unemployed men during the Great Depression. In 1937, a detail of 27 men from the Zion CCC camp began construction on the Visitor Center and Ranger Cabin at Cedar Breaks National Monument. These structures exhibit the classic National Park Service rustic architecture. Both buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places. Make sure to stop at the Visitor Center to see this historic structure.

Electricity customers will not face higher bills in 2014 on top of a previously approved 4percent hike, the Turlock Irrigation District board heard Tuesday while reviewing next year's proposed budget.
The board in late 2011 agreed to raise rates under a three-step plan, with 4percent increases at the beginning of 2012, 2013 and 2014. Officials say the extra money helps the district comply with a state mandate for more renewable energy.
Other than that, "We're proposing no base rate increases for 2014," General Manager Casey Hashimoto told the board while proposing a $398.9million budget, a half-percent bump up from the previous year.
Attributing the increases to the state environmental mandate allows TID to escape legal stumbling experienced by its Tuolumne River partner, the Modesto Irrigation District. MID has not considered raising power rates since its attorney last year privately advised that a hike without the vote of the people could violate state law linking rates to actual costs of providing services.
Both districts charge power customers more in order to keep farmers' irrigation rates artificially low.
MID could revisit the issue after Nov. 5, when three new board members join the five-person panel. Two TID incumbents face re-election challenges.
The MID board approved a 2014 budget last week, while TID leaders are not expected to vote on theirs until Dec. 10.
TID expects to receive $372million next year in power and water sales, up from $358million in 2013. But costs are rising even faster, forcing the district to pull $13million next year from a rate stabilization fund to keep from raising electricity bills. That's substantially more than a $7.4million transfer approved with the 2013 budget, which followed an $11.4million transfer the year before.
The district's debt payments will climb next year to $32.6million, up from $30million this year. TID carried $1.1billion in debt as of Jan. 1 and expects to put out an extra $877.4million in interest payments through 2041, for a total of nearly $2billion.
If the budget is approved, the number of approved TID positions would drop by two, to 454, including 22 that are vacant.
The district signed a labor contract with a union representing more than half of all employees earlier this year but continues to negotiate with another representing 40 line workers and their supervisors. Hashimoto said, "I hope to conclude labor negotiations in 2014, but that's a variable," and suggested building a 3percent pay increase, or an extra $1.1million, into the proposed budget.
Pension costs are expected to soar an extra $1.3million next year, he added.
Seeking a new federal license for Don Pedro Reservoir, which TID shares with MID, is expected to cost TID $2.5million next year. The districts expect to spend more than $25million in the multi-year effort.
TID expects to lose an additional $100,000 next year in bad debt, or inability to collect from customers who use services but can't pay. Joe Malaski, assistant general manager over finances, put the blame on "the ongoing economic downturn."

Receiver Buying Guide 2013
It is that time of year where we get to spend your money again! We kick off our holiday buying guides with receivers. Our goal with these guides is not necessarily about getting the latest product. Its about getting a good product at a great price so you may see some of last year's gear on the list. All these receivers are readily available online or at a big box store.
Less than $500
Sony STR-DH740 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver $275
In this price range you just want a basic receiver that can give you a surround sound experience and leave you some cash for speakers. That's what this receiver is. It doesn't do 4K but it will pass the signal through to the TV so it won't prevent you from enjoying 4K, you know when we actually get 4k content. It comes with 4 HDMI inputs and can process all the advanced audio codecs. In all its a great starter receiver for less than $300!!
Onkyo TX – NR609 7.2 Channel Network THX Certified A/V Receiver $400
Wow! Both of our budget receivers are 7.2. Onkyo really packs a ton of features in a unit and prices them for just about everyone. You get six HDMI inputs, iOS connectivity, Network streaming with a great mobile app, and if that's not enough the receiver is THX certified! But what might really seal the deal is the Audyssey calibration and audio leveling technology.
$500 – $1000
Denon AVR-X3000 7.2-Channel 4K Ultra HD Networking Receiver with AirPlay $900
Hard to believe this is what we would call mid-tier but its true. Some may say that a $900 receiver is not mid-tier, but in the larger scope of products out there, X3000 is right in the middle based on price. How about based on features? Well in that regard we would agree that it leans more towards the higher end units. It has 7 HDMI inputs, you know in case you have three Blu-ray players It also has two HDMI outputs for multiple zone viewing. The X3000 comes with Audyssey's Gold package so you can get your sound exactly the way you want it. The unit is Airplay and Windows 8 compatible and comes with Denon Remote app for mobile devices. Honestly there are many more features that we can't list here. This is a very capable receiver and will last you for years.
Yamaha RX-A2020 9.2-Channel Network AVENTAGE AV Receiver $1000
This receiver is at the limit for the range but is a bargain at the price. The A2020 is all about audio quality. Sure it has the same bells and whistles of other receivers in its class but this unit differentiates itself by using the highest quality parts get the most out of the sound. Yamaha also spent time in the design layout like laying out the left and right channels so that the crosstalk is minimized. Yes it supports Airplay, Network Audio, and comes with a mobile app for setup and control. Yamaha includes the YPAO auto calibration system with Reflected Sound Control for easy setup and optimization. Like the Denon, there are so many features we can't list them all here. The A2020 is also a receiver that will do the job for years to come!
Pioneer VSX-1122-K 630W 7-Channel A/V Receiver $600
Our last mid-tier receiver is also the best bargain. At $600 its will probably be in the entry level range by summer. The VSX-1122 is certainly not a entry level receiver in terms of capability. It too is a 7 channel receiver that supports Airplay, iPad and iPods. For those with Windows it is certified to works with Windows 7 and DLNA 1.5. With an Internet connection you can stream Pandora and radio stations from around the world. Pioneer has their own auto calibration feature which will have you enjoying surround sound in no time. The iControlAV app gives you ultimate control of the settings on this receiver. So much easier than doing everything from the front panel. The 1122 will be the hub around which your home theater experience will center.
Greater than $1000
Marantz SR7008 9.2-Channel 1080P and 4K Ultra HD Pass Through $2000
Our first unit is quite a bit more than the $1000 entry point for this tier. The reason for that is the mid tier really has about all the features you would want even for a greater than $1000 receiver. The SR7008 definitely has features. Its a 9.2 channel receiver that can be controlled with a mobile device. It supports Airplay and will upconvert video to 4K. There is Internet connected features like Pandora. It has seven HDMI inputs and three outputs! So why then would you want to spend a thousand dollars more than the mid-tier receivers? Its the sound. Don't buy this receiver if you don't have an equal amount in investment in speakers. To get the most out of it you will want speakers that can reproduce sound as precisely as the SR7008 can. With the Audyssey MultEQ XT32 your subwoofer will produce the bang for all the bucks you spend. This is a serious receiver for serious home theater lovers!
Sony STR-DA5800ES 9.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver with Automation $2100
This is another receiver for serious home theater lovers. Along with similar features sans Airplay, the 5800 sports: nine HDMI inputs, you know for those of you with four blu-ray players, three HDMI outputs (supports multi room HD video distribution), a four port Ethernet switch (thank you!!!), Control4 automation support, special parts selected for their audio quality, and so much more!! This is a super receiver with high quality sound and more bells and whistles than you would ever imagine!

Koushik Dutta of ClockworkMod, known for things like ClockworkMod Recovery and ROM Manager, has a new app in beta that could prove to be extremely handy for Android users concerned about backing up their data. Tentatively named Carbon, this backup app for Android 4.0 and up devices will let users backup their app data to Google Drive or Dropox, and restore to any device. In fact, it will be possible to easily restore apps from another device that is on and set up with Carbon, in order to sync between devices. Yes, this means that it will be possible to sync game saves between devices. As well, backups can be saved to the SD card.
While the app in beta currently requires a rooted device, Koushik Dutta is planning on making it not require root, so everyone should hopefully be able to get into the app backup game, unlike the current state of affairs with Titanium Backup. The Carbon beta can be downloaded from Koushik Dutta's Google+ post about the app.

curly clip on extensions are no doubt an outstanding trend. They will be able to give you a red carpet ready Tetyana Taylor hair or a flirty summer beach hair. The have a look of a genuine natural hair and it can be blended with both natural and relaxed hair textures really quick. Kinky curly hair may become a challenging texture to wear if you used to wearing straight hear extensions. If you have a relaxed hair for several years and you have forgotten the various challenges of natural hair, kinky curly hair may be a great way of bringing you into the world of highly textured hair, helping you make the decision of whether or not you would want to transition into natural hair.
After the partial learning curve and you stop to expect the kinky curly clip ons to behave like your straight hair, you will find that looking after a curly weave may become a true pleasure. It is also really easy as soon as you get the hang of it. You'll love how you look with a head full of wild kinks, coils, and waves, finding yourself installing this extension again and gain. In order to preserve that kinky curly coily textures overnight, it will depend on how you have styled it to start with.
This is how you go about preserving and styling the kinky curls of your kinky curly clip on extensions overnight without a need to re-wet the hair each morning:
Your hair needs to be braided down to blend with the kinky curly weave.
Separate a section of the hair near your nape, and then spray liberally with water until drenched. Using a heavy curl or gel styling cream will smooth and rake through the curls just your fingers. Run your fingers down every curl twirling as you go. Thus, you will be able to get perfectly separated and defined curls.
Repeat this with the rest of your weave until you get to the crown. As you get close to where your leave out is, you should avoid using so much gel. You may prefer being quite frizzy and big so that it would blend better with your leave out.
Enable your hair to blow dry or air dry by means of a diffuser attachment. You must not touch the hair when drying so as to prevent any unnecessary or extra frizz. Release your leave out hair in with the kinky curly clip on extensions and this will be your look for the day.
At night, you will want to pineapple your hair. It is just through a hair elastic band tying your hair up at the very top of your head and form a pineapple. You would not want to tie the hair elastic too tight, and avoid leaving a dent in your hair. As a matter of fact, just wrapping the band around the hair and not double it over will be enough to secure it for the night.
These tips are for creating a style with multiple textures. The very defined curls at the back will reduce the volume of the whole look while the big voluminous curls at the front will remain true to the nature of the kinky curly clip on extensions, and give you a seamless hairdo.

Gabriel James Dziya has been on the path for what now seems to be most his life. Since he was reborn into the salvation of Jesus Christ, he has been determined not only to share that gift but also to fully understand just what that gift means and is, not just for himself but for all.
This path has led him to explore the issues of the path in almost all their incarnations. From Prophecy, Healing, Fellowship to now his greatest love- Teaching. What started over 10 years ago as one man's search for salvation has now turned into a ministry based in Zimbabwe which sees him play all the roles for which he has prepared for his entire life.
Gabriel does not simply follow the question of what it is to be a Christian in this time but what it means to be a Christian in eternity.

In essence, this is one book that you start as one person, and by the end of the book your life has been changed. I will never be the same. My only prayer is that the writer releases more on this topic.

A refreshingly insightful book about heaven and the reality of it written with such clarity. Such a delight to read the vivid descriptions that make it all the more imparative for the human race to accept the Lordship of Jesus knowing that we will share this heavenly glory with Him throughout eternity.
Looking forward to more heavenly revelations in future volumes and believing that I too will begin to experience the glory of heaven while still here on earth.
Thank you man of God.

Zoe Kazan is one of those actresses who has been slowly building up her resume with impressive performances and gradually gaining momentum in terms of public recognition. A California native who happens to be the daughter of two Oscar-nominated screenwriters, Nicholas Kazan and Robin Swicord as well as the granddaughter of famed director Elia Kazan. She is an established and talented actress on her own merit, despite her successful family in the world of film. She attended Yale University where she studied theatre. Right off the back of her graduation in 2005 she threw herself into her acting career, beginning with acclaimed off Broadway productions and then proceeding to star in a variety of TV programmes and films.
After winning the Best Actress Award at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival for THE EXPLODING GIRL, she went on to star in IT'S COMPLICATED, REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, ME AND ORSON WELLES, and indie dramas such as MEEK'S CUTOFF, HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE, THE PRETTY ONE and most recently the big budget comedy WHAT IF with Daniel Radcliffe. She also starred on Broadway in 'A Behanding in Spokane' with Christopher Walken to rave reviews. Kazan is also an accomplished writer, for both film and theatre. She has had a play produced off Broadway and she wrote and starred in the 2009 hit RUBY SPARKS. It is the story of a novelist who is plagued by writers block when trying to produce a follow-up to his first, critically acclaimed work. He escapes this by retreating into his dreams, it is there where he envisions his perfect girl. He writes her down on his typewriter, she then literally comes to life, he has written her into existence. The story that follows is about the consequences of projecting our ideals of perfection onto others, in setting them up for an inevitable fall. Kazan says that writing was her answer to rejection as an actress. She says "I remember points where a casting director would think I was pretty or not, or good or not, and that would define how I felt about myself that day. Writing gave me the sense of accomplishment that had nothing to do with what someone else thought of me. It helped me survive."
She is also the first person who managed to get the husband-wife directing team Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris to make a movie since their Oscar winning film LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE. Nothing felt right to them until they received Kazan's perceptive and charming script.
She has recently been called the queen of the indie romantic-comedy, however she has so much more to offer than this. When asked if this is the genre of film she favours, she replied that these were the stories that she was responding to at the time, but that now she is making conscious decisions to take her career in a different direction so as to constantly challenge herself and display the versatility she possesses. She has made a point of choosing to portray the more complex and interesting female characters and should certainly not be pigeon holed into this one specific genre for her talent stretches far beyond this.
Zoe Kazan is an actress of subtlety and a writer of charm and insight. At such a young age she has already produced some wonderful performances and we cannot wait to see how she surprises and delights us all next.
