Terrorism by any other name …
On Nov. 19 and 20, I joined 19,000 other concerned citizens in protesting at the gates of Fort Benning, Ga., to demand an end to U.S.-sanctioned terrorism by closing the School of the Americas (SOA) — recently renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation.
It took five hours for the rally organizers to read the known names of the innocent people slaughtered by SOA graduates. Many of their heart-breaking stories were told by survivors. The abuses span the Americas over many years and continue to this day. One of the most notorious incidents is that of El Mozote, a village in El Salvador where, in 1989, SOA-trained soldiers massacred over 900 men, women and children, including Archbishop Oscar Romero, four U.S. church women (who were also raped), six Jesuit priests, their co-worker and her daughter. The atrocities continue, especially in Colombia, dubbed the "largest customer of the SOA" because of the 2 million people killed or displaced by civilian-targeted warfare carried out under the direction of SOA graduates.
My friends and I listened with heavy hearts as Maria Brigida Gonzalez de Cartagena told the stories of the eight brutal murders that occurred this past February in the San Jose de Apartado Peace Community in Uraba, Colombia. Through tears, Maria told of discovering the body parts of the three young children — ages 11, 6 and 1 — dismembered and scattered in a communal grave. The bodies of five badly beaten adults, cut at the throat, were thrown near a river. These acts were committed by soldiers under the command of a general who graduated from SOA. On Nov. 18, a leader of the same peace community, Arlan Salas David, was killed by troops led by another commander who was trained in counterinsurgency at the SOA.
Make no mistake: Just as our leaders eschew "international terror," they continue to fund civil wars in Latin American countries, providing billions in military aid and training.
We must speak out and hold our leaders accountable for their actions, holding fast to a vision of true democracy for the Americas. Nineteen thousand of us showed up at the gates of Fort Benning to raise awareness about the human consequences of the dirty wars our leaders sweep under the rug. Forty activists, including Brevard resident Linda Mashburn, committed civil disobedience by crossing onto the school's property — risking up to six months in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.
Currently in Congress, the Latin America Military Training Review Act of 2005 (HR 1217), which advocates for investigation into and suspension of the SOA, has 122 bipartisan sponsors. Urge Rep. Charles Taylor to sponsor this bill. Participate in national lobbying days, April 23-25. Check out soawatch.org to stay informed. Together, we must stand in solidarity with the thousands of women, men and children who have been murdered and disappeared by our government's foreign policy.

Increase water rates, not fees
Brian Postelle made an apparently small but actually huge error in his report on the Nov. 15 City Council work session ["On the Water Front," Nov. 23], when he reported a water "rate" increase that is actually a new fee. The difference is that a rate [generates a charge that] is proportional to the amount of water consumed and is therefore [environmentally] progressive because it encourages water conservation. In contrast, the new fee is wasteful and regressive because it corresponds only to the size and number of water meters, which can regressively drive up per-unit housing costs and only encourages the conversion to smaller meters, involving digging, erosion and new brass meters.
A fee is not a rate, and reporters should know the difference and appreciate its significance. I would support a rate increase for better maintenance, but I oppose [this fee] and want it changed.
I would use tradable rations for water (like trash disposal), issued to each city resident, who could then sell them at will to businesses or customers outside the city.
— Alan Ditmore
[Reporter Brian Postelle responds: Mr. Ditmore's point is well taken. A flat charge would be more accurately referred to as a "fee" rather than a "rate increase."]
Don't think, just consume
How silly of James Hrynyshyn to take the Mountain Xpress food critic to task for raving about sea bass because the species is "in serious trouble" ["Ethical Lapse in the Fish Department?", Nov. 23]. Americans don't want to be bothered with such trivialities — they want to enjoy themselves! What's next, restaurant reviewers urged to discuss the plight of veal calves and force-fed geese? This could easily get out of hand and lead to a discussion as to why the Humane Slaughter Act doesn't apply to the 9 billion baby chickens brutally slaughtered in America every year. And what about the hens and cows kept alive in horrific conditions so that humans can enjoy eating their reproductive secretions?
What if this foolish concept of discussing the moral considerations of our actions was expanded beyond restaurant reviews? Does Mr. Hrynyshyn expect an automobile reviewer to comment on the ethics of driving a gas guzzler? A fashion columnist to talk about the cruelty of sweatshops and fur coats, or the environmental degradation caused by mindless consumerism? A sports columnist opining on the morality of NASCAR's use of petroleum or someone spending $2,000 on a Super Bowl ticket when people are starving? Why does Mr. Hrynyshyn hate our freedom? This is America! Consume, consume, consume, and never give the slightest consideration to whom or what is destroyed in the process! He needs to spend more time shopping; our economy is depending on him!
For individuals who insist on being concerned about the repercussions of their food choices, attempting to eat fish from "sustainable" environments is well-intentioned, but nearly impossible. How, exactly, does one know where the fish they are eating originated? Most markets and restaurateurs haven't got a clue. And how does one keep up with the ever-changing dynamics of overfishing, etc.? An easier approach is simply to stop eating fish.

"Made in America" is still possible
Nothing is produced in this country anymore. Everything is made in China, imported by clever, greedy, big-profit-making large businesses that take advantage of cheap labor in Asia as well as the people here who buy the stuff. Most of the things are ugly and of no quality, not worth the price. These billion-dollar imports have been increasing the huge U.S. trade deficit; in the long run, this will destroy the country.
People, wake up! You are hurting yourselves and the country. Because American businesses move their plants out of the country, you have been losing your jobs — becoming dependent on charity or having to take low-paying jobs without health care, [instead of] making a decent living.
You are doing this all to yourselves by feeding big businesses with enormous profits when you buy all these China-made trashy products, filling up your homes with them [or] overloading your children with ugly, throw-away, sometimes dangerous toys, which often are recalled. At yard or garage sales, you get rid of the stuff to make space for new junk which big-business advertisements brainwash you to buy.
Global market? The states are destroying themselves because important producing facilities are closed or closing. The USA has become nothing but the retailer for Asian products.
Don't the politicians see what's going on? When will they, or the people, do something about it?
The USA should rethink and produce in this country quality products at fair prices, giving the people jobs to make a decent living. Why import junk when quality products can be made here? You get what you pay for, right?
Folks, give this a chance: Make your own toys for your children, and things for your family and friends. Ugly, plastic, China-made stuff doesn't make precious heirlooms.
Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.

Let's study that vote count again
In a recent letter to the editor, a reader advocates the nomination of Bryan Freeborn to fill the City Council vacancy created by the election of Terry Bellamy to mayor. He reasons that Freeborn is the natural pick due solely to the fact that he was the candidate with the next-highest number of votes, and that it would be undemocratic to ignore the will of the people in this matter.
However, I would like to point out a small error in his calculations: Dr. Joe Dunn received the next-highest number of votes overall, with 8,004 to Freeborn's 7,319. This would suggest, according to the reader's logic, that in fact Dunn should be offered the vacancy, not Freeborn.
Public commentary and media coverage continue to deny the fact that Dunn is the next favorite among Asheville voters. If indeed the people have spoken, and if we should respect the voters' wishes — as the reader and the partisan press demand — then Dunn is the natural to fill this vacancy.

Borderline issues
First off, people have commented on the proposal of the 2,000-mile barrier on the U.S./Mexico border. This is a great idea, and I think the support is tremendous. Some say this is consistent with the Bush administration. I am a huge Bush supporter, and I disagree with the president when it comes to the borders. He wants open borders, so how could this be consistent? Conservatives have no problem with immigrants coming over legally. Thanks to Bill Clinton and his welfare, there are plenty of jobs for them.
Secondly, on the subject of no religion in school: If we had more religion, maybe teen crime and pregnancies would be down, and we wouldn't have crazy things like same-sex wedding announcements in our local newspaper. These are the same people taking "Christ" out of Christmas. For all of you who believe in this, I pray for you. Hell is an awful place!

Preheat the broiler. Soak 8 long wooden skewers in water, 15 minutes. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush lightly with vegetable oil.
Meanwhile, whisk the ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar and honey in a medium bowl. Transfer half of the sauce to a separate bowl and set aside for dipping. Toss the chicken, water chestnuts, pineapple, bell pepper and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large bowl; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Thread onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the kebabs with some of the remaining sauce and broil until they start browning, about 4 minutes; flip, brush with more sauce and continue broiling until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 3 more minutes. Serve with the reserved sauce and rolls.

BenchVent Stacks up for School Laboratories
Posted on April 13th, 2017
Picture this, you have been knocked over by the pungent odour left lingering in the Science lab. Year twelve have been using organic chemicals and the stench just doesn't seem to dissipate. Apart from the disruption to your class caused by the odoriferous concoction, you are quite concerned about the safety of staff and students.
This can be a common occurrence in educational laboratories. Poor quality extraction systems commonly fall short when it comes to carrying away all those nasty fumes. If you are considering purchasing a new fume cupboard for your school laboratory, or for any other educational application, the goal is to have an effectual, low cost and easy to operate the system.
You have probably also been pondering the merits of both ducted and ductless systems in relation to achieving this target. There is obviously quite a lot to weigh-up when making this decision.
Many School laboratories employ a large ducted extraction system. For the chemicals and experiments undertaken, it is an excellent option. However, these units literally take up an entire wall and when in operation, can sound like a cosmic vacuum cleaner. For educational contexts, too big, too cumbersome, too noisy and too expensive.
On the other hand, we have the smaller, more modest ducted laboratory fume cupboard. A much more space efficient option, however, the internal parts and ducting deteriorated rapidly. The relentless repairs can quickly eat a hole into the School's tightening budget.
Ducted or Ductless – Finding the Right Solution for Your Laboratory
BenchVent has a fantastic range of compact, high-quality ductless fume cupboards that are perfect for the school laboratory. They are amazingly energy efficient and cost effective.
OK, so some will say that ductless fume cupboards have limited applications because they can only deal with a small range and volume of chemicals.
In terms of range of chemicals, the BenchVent© BV1000MFC Education Mobile Fume Cupboard is proven to efficiently protect staff and students from all fumes and hazardous substances associated with GCSE and A Level curriculum chemicals.
As far as throughput volume, you are probably thinking, "How often will I need to change the filters?". Given the high holding capacity of BenchVent filters, they only need to be changed every six months. Filters are reasonably priced and BenchVent can provide the required LEV Testing.
The other thing we hear is that the upfront costs of a ducted system are much more reasonable than its ductless counterpart. However, by the time you add up duct work, exhaust fans, other mechanical systems and possible on-the-hop engineering, a ducted system can be quite costly.
On the other hand, The BenchVent BV900-CIR Recirculatory Fume and Particle Filtration Cabinet, for example, is a reasonably priced educational purpose unit that is a piece of cake to install and maintain. Place it onto a desk, bench or trolley and then simply plug in and switch on.
From the Science lab to design and technology; from electronics to art, BenchVent have an impressive range of ductless fume extraction units that are perfect for educational contexts. Unlike bulky and cumbersome systems, they are quiet, compact, movable and totally effortless. In addition, they are robust and made to go the distance.
Having BenchVent in your school promises an effectual, lost cost and easy to operate option for eliminating knock-out odours or persistent chemical smells lingering after any Science class.

The Herculean Task of Moving Mike Kelley
Massive Mike Kelley retrospective is moving from MoMA PS1 in New York to Los Angeles next month
Earlier this month, MoMA PS1 concluded the largest solo show the museum has ever hosted, "Mike Kelley," a retrospective of the Los Angeles artist's nearly 35-year career that took over the entire museum. On Feb. 2, the show's last day, 3,500 people made a trek to Long Island City in Queens, where they waited in long lines for entrance into individual galleries of the late artist's work—everything from oversize stuffed-animal sculptures to raunchy videos.
While mounting the extensive exhibition proved challenging,...

Take in the fabulous 180 degree view of the Kona coastline, spectacular sunset show and sparkling lights of Kailua Kona town at night from your large, covered lanai.
You can pick flowers and fruit in the yard and enjoy the fragrances of gardenias and night blooming jasmine. It can be a romantic retreat for 2 or a wonderful place for family fun. A Hale Lani allows you to tune into the subtle harmonies and cycles of the tropics, the openness of this unique place encourages the shift to a fresh perspective, which is something that lingers after your vacation is over.
Unique Details: A Hale Lani Cottage is a unique place to visit. It offers a very quiet and peaceful experience. The views are spectacular and the Hawaiian ambiance give you a feeling of Old Hawaii. The owners spend months planting new fruit trees and flowers for your enjoyment. Be sure to visit the fruit orchard and orchid green house on the lower part of the property.

Visit the new Holualakoa Cafe 2 blocks away with exceptional brunches and dinners and be sure to drop by one of many art galleries and shops in Holualoa town.
My Love for Hawaii started at a very early age as I grew up in Oahu. I loved everything about Hawaii, from the ocean to the mountains. In 1979 I returned to live on the Big Island and have called it my home every since. My husband joined me in life in 1992 and we have shared the wonder of Hawaii together these past 17 years. We love to garden and our property reflects all our efforts. Picking papayas, bananas, oranges, grapefruit, mangoes, limes, lemons and pineapples gives us such a thrill.
The cottage is very close to many beaches where we zip down for a snorkel and swim most days. We have wonderful neighbors and friends to share beautiful sunsets with and are always happy to have visitors enjoy the cottage.
Here we are renewing our vows at our 10 year anniversary
Russell Blair purchased this cottage in 1996
We designed and built the cottage ourselves in 1996. My love of the islands gave me a strong sense of design for the tropical lifestyle. It was a labor of love and that is reflected in the grounds, house and decorations.
We planned a trip to Kona to watch my brother race in the Ironman. This was an extremely beautiful setting, private and breath taking views. Very quiet and peaceful. I would recommend this cottage for anyone that wants to experience Hawaii in it's most relaxed state. Close to everything and the cottage was stocked with all the essentials for cooking. Being able to wake up to the magnificent ocean views and walk through the fruit plantation was the highlight of each morning. This cottage is a hidden gem! Thank you for wonderful memories and an easy booking process!
This was our second time staying at our favorite place on the Big Island, A Hale Lani. This cottage has to be the most peaceful place on earth. The view from the Lanai is spectacular. I could sit out there all day from sunset to sunrise. This property is completely secluded and private, surrounded by lush tropical trees and vegetation. We enjoyed the outdoor shower that has an ocean view. The location is only about a 10 minute drive from Kona and seems remote up on the mountain approximately 1,300 feet above the sea. This cottage is stocked with everything you need from kitchen utensils to snorkel equipment in the garage. We planned our vacation around the guest activity book that has everything you need to know, from where to eat, to what the island has to offer. We visited the black sandy beach with sea turtles, went on hikes, and zip lined from recommendations from this book they offer in the living room. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place. We will be back soon!
My wife and I love the Hale Lani. The cottage is clean and nicely appointed. The views from the lanai were great. The feeling of privacy was unbroken during our entire visit. We intend to return this year.
We spent three wonderful weeks at A Hale Lani, which deserves its name 100%. We loved the peace, privacy, being able to pick fresh fruit daily, the amenities, quality of furnishing, the view...
Sitting up in bed at night and looking down at the lit-up town of Kona - through the large sliding doors - is one of innumerable memories.
A Hale Lani is in fact a giant "studio". Apart from cooking and sleeping we spent our time on the spacious lanai.
Consider a flight around the island (Cessna), well worth it to get a feel of the island. Don't miss a very well organised trip to Mauna Kea (with Forest&Trail), a visit to Volcano National Park and try the various beaches. Our favourite was Hapuna Beach, which never became crowded.
We thoroughly recommend A Hale Lani for a real get-away.
Stunning location and total privacy. So relaxing, with the stunning ocean views and sunsets. The house and gardens are beautifully maintained and extremely comfortable.
Delicious bannanas, papaya, pineapple, lemons, limes, tangelo to pick in the garden.
A short drive to great beaches and snorkelling/kayaking. Artists galleries and coffee shops within walking distance
We would recomend a stay here without reservation. We will be back!
This cottage is so beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. The pictures do not do it justice! It is way more than we expected for the price. The book Toni has put together is an amazing resource. We used it every day of our stay. She lists all the nicest beaches to go to, even the hidden ones that are hard to find. It was such an adventure! The best snorkeling on the island is just a 5 minute drive down the mountain. Swimming with the wild dolphins and sea turtles, as Toni suggests in the book, is a life-changing experience. We enjoyed doing all of the tourist attractions in Hawaii, however, our best day on the island was the one we just stayed at the cottage and enjoyed the beautiful ocean view and wonderful fruit gardens. The fresh pineapple and limes are like no other in the world! We highly recommend staying at the beautiful A Hale Lani cottage and we hope to return some day soon.

When will our community dispense with the myopic hyper-vigilante mindset of
"Calling all cars, be on the lookout for the bad man. Calling all cars"
Pete Dowe
Brimble, of Hamilton, was found guilty by a jury sitting in Warrnambool of one count of committing an indecent act with a child under 16 between January 1 and April 19, 2013.
She was acquitted of five other charges. The prosecution did not call for Brimble to be jailed given she was not convicted of sexually abusing the boy.
"Brimble had hugged the boy at her house and asked him if he wanted to sleep with her. The boy asked her what she meant and she said "sex".
"The boy pushed Brimble's hands away as she kissed him on the cheek and told him she loved him.
He told her he was not old enough to have sex but Brimble told him, "You are when you are at my house."
"She tried to manipulate [the boy] to think that she loved him and that his parents did not.
This hurts me to the very core," the father said.
Female teacher who sought sex with 10-year-old boy walks free
A primary school teacher who wanted to have sex with her 10-year-old student, and had his name tattooed on her chest, has walked free from court.
County Court judge Mark Taft said he was at a COMPLETE loss to understand why mother of eight Diane Brimble, 47, had engaged in "such utterly inappropriate conduct which must dismay every parent".
"You breached the trust reposed in you by [the boy's] parents who properly expected that a CLASSROOM TEACHER would care for their son in a professional manner," Judge Taft said on Thursday when sentencing Brimble on a two-year community correction order and 200 hours of unpaid community work.
Brimble will be placed on the sex offenders register for eight years, be assessed and treated for any MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION, take part in offender treatment programs and has lost her career as a teacher.
"The scale of your obsessive behaviour was demonstrated by your tattooing [the boy's] name on your chest with an INFINITY symbol, your endeavours to move your own children into the primary school where [the boy] had transferred and the letters that you penned which spoke of your undying love for him," Judge Taft said.
One letter read in part: "I can't write how much I miss you because there just aren't enough words ... Though you will be so far away when I leave I will still see you every night in my dreams just as I do now. Infinite love, forever in my heart."
Judge Taft said it "beggars belief" that a "mature-aged woman" would write such a letter to her 10 -year-old student.
Brimble, of Hamilton, was found guilty by a jury sitting in Warrnambool of one count of committing an indecent act with a child under 16 between January 1 and April 19, 2013.
She was acquitted of five other charges. The prosecution did not call for Brimble to be jailed given she was not convicted of sexually abusing the boy.

The boy pushed Brimble's hands away as she kissed him on the cheek and told him she loved him. He told her he was not old enough to have sex but Brimble told him, "You are when you are at my house."
The boy's father told the court he discovered what was happening when he saw inappropriate Facebook and TEXT MESSAGES from Brimble to the boy.
"I couldn't understand why [the boy] was agitated and refused to look at either of his parents," he father said in his victim impact statement.
"As it turns out it was due to him being subjected to deplorable and indecent actions by a person in a position of trust."
When the boy changed schools, Brimble toured his new school and tried to ENROL her own children there.
"She tried to manipulate [the boy] to think that she loved him and that his parents did not. This hurts me to the very core," the father said.
"I feel angry that if it was a 46-year-old man and a 10-year-old girl that it would most likely be a different outcome ... I feel angry and betrayed by the EDUCATION DEPARTMENT who did nothing to remove this evil woman from other children," he said.
"To think a woman would get a tattoo with my child's name as a sign of her undying love for [the boy] baffles me. I would like Brimble to endure the pain of removing name forever."

Justice system must be blind to gender when it comes to crime and punishment
- Herald Sun
- October 13, 2014
WHAT should the punishment be for a 47-year-old male teacher who asks one of his young female students to have sex with him? He tells the 10-year-old autistic girl he's in love with her, gets her name tattooed on his chest and bombards her with text messages.
What would you say if I told you the teacher was a woman and the victim a boy? Would that change things?
Of course not. No doubt you agree with me that paedophilia is paedophilia, regardless of whether the perpetrator is a man or a woman.
So why is it that schoolteacher Diane Brimble avoided prison for this very crime, copping a mere 200 hours of community service and a two-year community corrections order although she begged a ten-year-old boy to have sex with her.
I can only think she got away with a lesser sentence because she is a woman, and because she is a mother of eight children.
There has been widespread condemnation of Brimble's sentence because it seems to be not only totally inadequate, but well out of step with penalties handed out to men who commit similar crimes.
As the mother of a 10-year-old boy, I found the court transcript heartbreaking reading. Apparently, Brimble hugged the boy and asked him if he wanted to sleep with her. He didn't even know what she meant. He told her he wasn't old enough to have sex, but Brimble told him: "You are when you are at my house."
Police accused Brimble of also presenting the boy with a suitcase containing a pregnancy test, condoms, truth-or-dare cards and sex toys, as well as exposing her breasts.
As I see it, Brimble's crime was totally abhorrent on many levels.
First, she was the child's schoolteacher, and thus in a position of both power and responsibility. Her actions were not only a betrayal of the little boy and his family, but a gross betrayal of all teachers.
Second, the boy in question has Asperger's syndrome, so was particularly vulnerable.
Third, Brimble knew the boy's parents, and clearly breached their trust in her. In fact, she tried to come between the boy and his parents, making him believe she loved him, but they did not.
Fourth, she even involved her own children in her offending. When the boy moved schools, she toured his new school and attempted to move her kids there.
Sadly, this is not the only example of women getting off lightly despite committing horrific sexual crimes that completely destroy the lives of their young victims.
In Victoria, a mother who drugged her 13-year-old daughter and allowed her sex-offender boyfriend to photograph and indecently assault her was originally given a non-parole sentence of just one year. On appeal, the sentence was increased.
In South Australia, a 40-year-old woman received a suspended sentence despite having sex with a 15-year-old boy.
In Queensland, a childcare worker who sent nude graphic photos of her 12-year-old daughter to her lover walked free from court after receiving a suspended sentence.
It is hard to imagine men being treated in the same way. It seems there is a double standard, whereby male paedophiles are regarded as evil, while female paedophiles are viewed as mixed up or overly emotional.
Brimble claimed the offending occurred in the context of an obsessive and misdirected affection. But she did not treat this boy with affection; she ruined his innocence by treating him as a sexual commodity. The impact on him was so severe he had to be treated with anti-psychotic medication and moved out of the community. The fact Brimble was not convicted of sexually abusing the boy in a physical manner shouldn't matter.
County Court judge Mark Taft said Brimble had good prospects of rehabilitation and was unlikely to reoffend. I simply do not believe the same assurances would be extended to a male perpetrator in the same position.
In the end, cases like this make us less trusting of the adults in our children's lives. Inspiring, dedicated, wonderful teaches end up being viewed with suspicion, which means kids end up missing out on vital mentoring and friendship.

India Unlimited, FOODFOOD?s new offering
MUMBAI: FOODFOOD is all set to bring to its viewers cuisines from across the country. While every little corner of the country has a flavour of its own, the food and lifestyle channel is looking at entertaining its audience with a show that talks about different strokes of Indian regional cuisines and stories. The show ?India Unlimited? will be aired every Thursday at 2 pm and will be hosted by chef Shantanu.
The show aims at weaving the taste of the cuisine found in North to the colour of the food from South along with texture of the West and appearance of the East. ?India Unlimited? will see several stories that are weaved with the love for food.
?India Unlimited?, according to the channel, is set to give viewers a sense of nestling in the heart of the Himalayas , while bringing the taste of the spices of Tamil Nadu , the flowing mustard fields from Punjab, the awesome treat from the ocean world ? fish, from Bengal and both sugar and spice turning every vegetarian dish nice , from Gujarat .
The accurate time for adding spice, masala and the degree of cooking are the key factors that determine the quality of a dish. However, this art had been confined to the master chefs who have their proprieties spice mixtures etc. and are reluctant to share their recipes.
During the show, chef Shantanu will be seen sharing all his food secrets. He will also take the audience through the varied tastes of India, its traditions, its colour, texture and brings it all together in his kitchen. His cooking tips and tricks, food secrets, recipes are simple but will make one wonder how the complex layers of taste and flavours have come in to being.
?If we look at these recipes critically, we realise that each step has a particular purpose and there are many ways of making the same dish also. At the same time the touch of spices, is off course an art that needs to be understood and perfected as per change of taste. Cooking is not merely following a recipe, ?It is an art as well as a science?,? said chef Shantanu.
The show will feature three recipes in one episode, with each episode being specific to a particular region of India. Chef Shantanu will imbibe the traditional look of each region, through both his attire and attitude and bring the unlimited joys it offers to the viewers.

FORT LAUDERDALE — If current trends continue, the city can expect to post a 5 to 6 percent increase in serious crime by the end of the year.
The increase, indicated in a report released Friday, compares the first nine months of this year with the same period in 1984 and shows a 5.1 percent increase.
Much of the projected rise can be attributed to a surge in the number of robberies, minor assaults and batteries, according to the report, compiled by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.
The number of robberies jumped from 825 last year to 1,032 this year during the nine month-period.
Homicides are also on the increase, with 31 murders reported in the first three-quarters of this year compared to 25 for the same period last year.
The number of fires attributed to arson rose from 54 to 65, and the stolen vehicles category jumped from 1,367 to 1,555.
Rapes are down to 79 from last year`s 98, but police attribute the decline to chance rather than law enforcement efforts, according to the report.
The city`s crime outlook is helped somewhat by a drop in the number of home burglaries.
The number of break-ins during the first nine months dipped to 3,044 from 3,133 the previous year, but burglaries at businesses still increased from 1,701 to 1,748 during the same period, according to the report.
Police Chief Ron Cochran attributed the home burglary decline to community involvement programs such as Citizen`s Crime Alert but added that he won`t be satisfied until the rest of the statistics drop as well.

[SUNDAY 11 am ET]
GO TIME — This afternoon's Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be the first test of the new Generation-6 NASCAR Sprint Cup cars on a 1.5-mile track. It should be an interesting afternoon.
Defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski will start on the pole because qualifying was rained out on Friday and the field was set per the NASCAR rule book..
No worries about rain today, as there isn't a cloud in the sky over the beautiful desert facility. A couple of guys to keep an eye out for today are Carl Edwards, who won last week in Phoenix, and Kyle Busch, who has been fast all weekend.
Edwards was second and fifth in Saturday's two practice rounds, while Busch was third in both sessions, in addition to finishing second to Sam Hornish Jr. in Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series race.
"I think this is probably one of my worst mile-and-a-half (tracks) and we ran pretty good today," Busch said Saturday. "Taking what we learned today and going to places like Kansas or Charlotte or something like that where they better suit me — we'll see how it all stacks up."
And, of course, Daytona 500 winner and five-time series champion Jimmie Johnson is always a threat to win, pretty much wherever the Cup Series races.
HOLDING OUT HOPE — Could Sam Hornish Jr.'s hot start in the NASCAR Nationwide Series lead to a full-time seat in a third Team Penske Sprint Cup car next year? Hornish sure hopes so. In three Nationwide races so far this season, the three-time IZOD IndyCar Series champ finished second at Daytona, seventh at Phoenix and won Saturday at Las Vegas. He leads the Nationwide Standings After Sam's Club 300

Hey folks I am really struggling to get my game to work for iOS 8+ it worked fine before iOS 8 but I have not updated it since then and now returned to fix it but of course it brings this problem.
Basically, when the app launches, the splash is fine, in landscape, yet the game title screen is completely truncated, like this;
The only workaround that semi-worked, was to set the device orientation in Xcode build settings to 'Portrait' and then use the following code in AppDelegate.m
CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(1.57079633); navController_.view.transform = transform;
It's a dirty fix, and the problem with it, is things such as UIAlert views, appear upside down as the app believes it is portrait!
Any idea on how to fix this?
Some further code is here;
// Create the main window window_ = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Create an CCGLView with a RGB565 color buffer, and a depth buffer of 0-bits
CCGLView *glView = [CCGLView viewWithFrame:[window_ bounds]
pixelFormat:kEAGLColorFormatRGB565 //kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8
depthFormat:0 //GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT24_OES
director_ = (CCDirectorIOS*) [CCDirector sharedDirector];
navController_ = [[MyNavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:director_]; navController_.navigationBarHidden = YES;
// for rotation and other messages
[director_ setDelegate:navController_];
// set the Navigation Controller as the root view controller
[window_ setRootViewController:navController_];

Chicago police on Friday announced charges against four people in a lottery ticket scam targeting older Hispanic victims.
The four, working as a team, scammed five victims out of a total of $110,000 and tried to get $50,000 from another two victims, according to a police news release.
From left: John Garcia, William Velasquez-Ortiz, Janet Cruz and Carmen Perez-Santiago. (Chicago police handouts)
The team members fanned out across the city, usually targeting older Hispanic victims on the street or in front of stores. A targeted victim would be told that the scammers had a lottery ticket worth more than $1 million, but they couldn't cash it because they were undocumented immigrants.

Also, a majority of the Indian fans feel that in the ODI format, the self esteem, the confidence and the instinct to put in all out efforts by the whole team as one single unit are clearly visible. Perhaps, our supremacy - especially after lifting the last world cup - has already been established globally and this vital fact certainly boosts the morale of our boys. Another reason for getting expertise in the shorter version of the game is that except for the Ranji Trophy, our players normally indulge in playing only ODIs.
The reason for this preference is that it becomes a matter of just 50 overs. The bowlers are supposed to bowl just 8 to 10 overs and even if they do not get wickets, they can still remain in the game by just containing the run rates.
Likewise, in ODIs, the batsmen have also got an advantage of skipping the deadlier bowlers by just taking a single and allow their counterpart to face the bowler!
Sometimes, both the batsmen tend to avoid hitting a skillful bowler and wait to strike till a comparatively weaker bowler is put to work. Off late, the Indian ODI team has learnt to take full advantage of the situation and shown meticulous confidence, resulting in attaining a number of prestigious victories - Champions Trophy included.
Indian bowlers simply do not have the patience and the skill required for test cricket. Fitness is also a crucial factor. Since test matches really depend on bowlers, India struggles in this format. Our bowlers do not have enough speed and swing to trouble the overseas batsmen as well.
BCCI has never planned for test cricket, and they hardly have any program to develop trustworthy test bowlers. Unless test cricket is really focused upon, the state of affairs can never improve. Till appropriate steps are taken, test number one rank is a far off dream. Hope the administrators will give a serious consideration.

Very successful marriage of electronica and orchestra
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Having left Tangerine Dream in summer of 1987, Christopher Franke emigrated to America, where he settled in California, hoping to start a new career from scratch - a career of scoring motion pictures. As he admits in interviews, he needed a long break from the industry he lived in, as that was what Tangerine Dream was in the mid-80s. After more than a year, he signed up for several movies, and started to think of recording the soundtracks. To this end, he explored an idea he was toying with in the old times of Tangerine Dream, namely with orchestration of electronic music. Back in late 1986, the band released "Near Dark", a dark album with simulated orchestral sounds. In 1989, Franke decided to continue in that fashion, and he did. Instead of simply augmenting the texture of electronic music, he decided to make an additional move - to marry electronica with real orchestra. To this end, he founded Berlim Symphonic Film Orchestra, for which he composed music using real notes on sophisticated musical software. The results exceeded all expectations. In 1989 and 1990, Franke scored three movies ("Eye of the Storm", "McBain" and "She Woke Up"), the music from which appeared on a compilation CD in 1993, issued by his own musical label, Sonic Images. This album, somewhat awkwardly entitled "New Music for Films Vol.1" is much like a set of bridges thrown between "Near Dark" as a symbol of electronic orchestration, the real acoustic classical orchestra, and pure ambient sound. Even if this music was not available until later, some limited edition promo singles were released much sooner than 1993, when Franke was already in full swing of his career. In addition, in 1989 he re-composed and re-recorded one of his old compositions, which was often used in Tangerine Dream gigs. His first official solo track, 'Vermillion Sands', was published in 1989 on a KLEM compilation CD, along with his old employer's Tangerine Dream's tune. The latter didn't stand up to comparison. 'Vermillion Sands' was superb, dynamic, arrpegiated and extremely sophisticated, a move forward, whereas the forgettable track of Tangerine Dream was like a throwaway hopeless track refused for publication during "Lily on the Beach" or "Destination Berlin" sessions. In 1989, we already knew that their paths diverged, and wondered what happened to Chris. With KLEM's compilation, I was happy again. "New Music for Films Vol.1" is a very interesting CD, I dare claim a masterpiece, considering the high ambitions the composer had. It's of the highest class possible, comparable to the best music of Ennio Morricone, Jerry Goldsmith, and all other classical composers who work for the film industry. If you are fond of the old days, if the movies like "Lawrence of Arabia" or other ones with Paul Newman, Orson Welles, Rita Heyworth are to your taste, then you should reach for this CD, whether or not you like Tangerine Dream or Franke himself. This music is universal, beautiful and touching. It's timeless. Just about an hour long, this album is very eclectic, since it contains numerous experiments with sound, from piano, electric piano, delicate electronica (later to be developed to perfection on "Pacific Coast Highway"), horns and oboes, to full-fledged orchestra, with violins, contra-bass, cellos, gongs - oh my, it's the audiophiliac's feast! The atmosphere of this music is sometimes so grave and scary, that I have cold sweat on my spine. Other times it is lyrical, with solitary violin or cello, or piano - jerking tears out of your eyes."New Music for Films Vol.1" is one of the best albums of Christopher Franke, and a must in the collection of anyone who loves high quality music, and/or who is very fond of soundtracks."
Like stop and go traffic
(3 out of 5 stars)
"I really don't have a problem with Chrisopher Franke's post Tangerine Dream work. I know many cry for the old, pure electronic days, but wedding the orchestra to electronica isn't a bad idea (Klaus Schulze was successful enough on his "X" album, and other film composers have taken the opposite tack and been adding synthesizers to their orchestras). The problem with this particular album though isn't the music, it's the arrangement. On the "New Music For Films" releases (2 so far) Franke takes the music as originally scored for each film image. That makes for 1 hours worth of music, but 24 different pieces. On his "Babylon 5" compilations, Franke arranged the music into suites, and so there was a better flow to the music (in addition, the electronics were a bit more prominent). If you can get past that, you may enjoy this, as the music can be very good."

Social gaming has become a hot topic, but what does it really mean for a game to be social? This talk presents how Uken Games has found continued success over the past six years by building games with social gameplay in mind. Strong communities are formed when games provide players with the tools for social interaction, and strong communities lead to increased player retention, engagement and monetization. Real examples from currently live games, including what's worked and what hasn't, are shared in this talk by a lead developer from Toronto's largest independent game studio.
Attendees learn how to design features that foster social interaction and come away with real world examples of how creating a social community can help lead to the success of their game.

Remove a bleach stain by adding alcohol to the unbleached material and spreading the color into the damaged area. This takes about 30 minutes. You need clear alcohol, cotton balls, a container and cold water.Continue Reading
To remove bleach stains, purchase some clear alcohol, such as gin or vodka.
Soak a cotton ball with the alcohol. You may need more than one cotton ball for this process.
Rub the cotton ball over the undamaged material immediately surrounding the bleach stain. The alcohol causes the color to bleed. Once the color starts to bleed, spread the color into the bleached area with the cotton ball.
Continue this process until color has spread to all of the bleached areas. If you have more than one bleached spot, repeat the process for each of the areas.
Fill a container or sink with cold water.
Dunk the garment in the cold water. Swish the material around the water in order to remove all of the alcohol. Make sure to rinse the garment thoroughly.
Place the garment in a dryer, and dry it on a low setting.

Norwich makes return trip
Three different players score goals in Cadets win
NORTHFIELD, Vt. -- Norwich is headed back to Lake Placid.
Just two years removed from claiming the program's third national championship with a 3-2 double overtime victory over St. Norbert in 2010, the Cadets will make their third consecutive national semifinals appearance after downing Wentworth 3-0 in the NCAA quarterfinal round on Saturday night at Kreitzberg Arena.
Chris Duszynski, Kyle Thomas and Pier-Olivier Cotnoir each scored a goal while sophomore goaltender Parker Carroll made 19 saves to lead Norwich (24-2-2) to the victory.
Duszynski scored just 20 seconds into the game to give the Cadets the only lead it would need on its way to qualifying for its 10th D-III Frozen Four, all coming in the 17 seasons NU head coach Mike McShane has been at the helm of the program.
Duszynski pounced on a loose puck in the slot to beat Wentworth goalie Alex Peck after freshman defenseman Alec Thieda ripped a shot from the blue line off the goal post that bounced right back to Duszynski.
The goal was Duszynski's 10th of the season and first since Feb. 11 against Castleton. Duszynski reaching the double-digit goals mark now gives the Cadets eight players with 10 or more goals on the season.
NU held the 1-0 lead into the first intermission and maintained an 11-5 shot advantage over the first 20 minutes.
Norwich struck quickly again in the second period as Thomas wristed a shot past Peck's glove while backing away in the slot for his 16th goal of the season coming off assists from Blake Forkey and Doug Lindensmith.
Cotnoir capped the scoring with his team-leading 21st goal of the season and 12th power play tally on a rocket one-time blast from the point that ricocheted off the inside of the left post and into the back of the net before Peck could see it. Thieda picked up an assist on the play after he fed Cotnoir from the other point.
The goal marked Cotnoir's 100th career point and he now becomes the 45th player in Norwich men's hockey history to achieve the milestone. He has 55 goals and 45 assists in 85 career games played. Thomas also moved to within three points of the 100-point milestone with his two point night.
Carroll improved to 16-1-1 on the year and has now won eight straight starts, including all four playoff games so far. Peck made 21 saves and finishes the year at 13-3-1.
Wentworth finishes its season at 21-7-1. The Leopards were making their fifth NCAA Tournament appearance and picked up their first ever NCAA victory on Wednesday with a 3-1 win over Plymouth State in the First Round.
Norwich will now face St. Norbert (18-5-5) for the third straight season in the NCAA semifinals at 4 p.m. at the Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid, N.Y. The Green Knights downed Gustavus Adolphus 4-1 in their quarterfinal matchup.
The Cadets will be looking for revenge after St. Norbert knocked NU out in the semifinals last year in Minnesota with a 3-2 win before going on to win the national championship. St. Norbert and Norwich have combined to win three of the last four national championships with the Green Knights taking titles in 2008 and 2011 and Norwich winning in 2010.

Control the chilli and you control the heat in this pork and vegetable stir-fry. Cubes of marinated pork are cooked quickly with ginger, carrots and snowpeas, and then flavoured with lime juice, soya sauce, vinegar and sesame oil. Add chilli oil to taste.
There is a great mix of flavors and textures in this recipe if you don't blow it by following it too closely (ha!). The lime and vinegar are definitely strong, even for a lime and vinegar lover like myself. I ended up adding sugar at the end to even up the field a little, but the consistency of the sauce was great as written (I was a little surprised at that - I thought there might be too much cornstarch). I like my veggies barely-done to crisp-tender, so the 6-8 minutes on the carrots and peas would have killed this recipe for me. I also added mushrooms and zucchini. I cooked the pork first and set it aside, then did the mushrooms, added the carrots for a few minutes, then the zucchini, snap peas, and pork in just to heat through (which got my zucchini and peas just the way I like them). I like the spice and the overall flavor, but definitely had to play around with this to get it where I wanted it. Thanks! - 31 May 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Modifications I made: omitted the cornstarch from the marinade (for fewer carbs); sliced the pork thinly instead of cubes (turned out nice and tender!); used lemon b/c I had it on-hand; omitted chile peppers and chili oil, using instead a tsp. or two of red pepper flakes, fried with the ginger; added 1 sm red bell pepper and 1/2 white onion, omitted green onion; didn't bother to julianne the peas and didn't chop the peanuts. Turned out spicy enough for our tastes (I like a little bite but no burn), but the vinegar overwhelmed the rest of the flavors. The lemon juice may have also played into the overpowering tang this dish had. I'll use this recipe as a base in the future but do something a little less tangy for the sauce. - 25 Apr 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I absolutely loved the taste of the pork and soy sauce marinade! It cooked up beautifully! I always try to substitute cooking spray for any olive oil and I must say it did not diminish any flavor in my book! This recipe was beautiful until I added the 1 Tbs soy sauce, 2 Tbs rice vinegar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 3 tsp dark sesame oil! My sugar snap peas just soaked up the vinegar taste and ruined the whole recipe! I added honey to try and tone down the vinegar flavor! After adding the honey, the vinegar taste was toned down just a bit! I had to pick out all the sugar peas to make the recipe tolerable again! I beseech any other home-makers to not add the second bit of soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and sesame oil! Without that, this recipe is FANTASTIC! An absolutely perfect bite! I will definately cook this again but, leave out the aforementioned ingredients! - 21 Aug 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

MAYVILLE, N.Y.:-- Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan will hold three public hearings on the County's Shared Services Plan as part of Governor Andrew Cuomo's 2017 Countywide Shared Services Initiative (CWSSI).
The hearings will be held on Tuesday, August 29, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. at the Fredonia Technology Incubator, 214 Central Ave. in Dunkirk; Wednesday, August 30, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. at the County EMS Office, 2 Academy St. in Mayville; and Thursday, August 31, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. in the CCIDA Board Room, 201 W. Third St. in Jamestown. Each hearing will include a brief presentation of projects and an opportunity for county citizens to ask questions and give input on the plan.
"After months of work and collaboration developing our Municipal Consolidation and Efficiency Competition (MCEC) grant application, we've explored those projects further and developed a new project to present the state with a comprehensive, three-year shared services plan for Chautauqua County," said Horrigan.
The CWSSI was proposed by Cuomo this spring, and adopted by the New York State Legislature as part of the 2018 State Budget. The initiative established panels in each county across the state and each panel is convened by the county executive and is made up of all the mayors and supervisors in the county. The panel is tasked with developing a shared services plan, which must be reviewed by the County Legislature for comment, presented to the public for comment, and ultimately voted on by the panel before being sent to the New York State Division of Budget. Projects which materialize actual savings in 2018 will be eligible for a 1:1 match of state funding to the local municipalities.
For more information, contact the County Executive's Office at (716) 753-4211.

NEW YORK (AP) — With eight games remaining, Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff's message to his team was simple: Win them all, and we're in the playoffs.
Then they went out and knocked off the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers.
Drew Stafford had two goals and an assist, linemate Tyler Ennis had a goal and two assists, and Marcus Foligno set up both of them to lead the surging Sabres to a 4-1 victory Friday night. Travis Turnbull scored his first NHL goal.
Buffalo moved up into an eighth-place tie in points with Washington, which lost in overtime to Winnipeg on Friday night, and is only two points behind seventh-place Ottawa with two weeks left.
"We're just trying to ride this wave as long as we can," Stafford said.
And what a ride it has been.
The Sabres were 14th in the 15-team Eastern Conference, 10 points out of a playoff spot, on Feb. 17. They are 12-2-4 since and are trying to become the second team to rally from such a deficit so late to get a postseason berth.
"We've put a lot of work into getting to the position where we're at right now, but obviously we're not there yet," Stafford said. "We're not worried about the other teams around us. We know if we play well, take care of our business and win the games, we'll be sitting just fine. Right now we haven't accomplished anything."
Ruff wasn't too pleased with the line of Ennis, Stafford and Foligno during a win over Montreal on Wednesday, but he saw lots to like against the Rangers. If Buffalo finishes eighth, and the Rangers hold on for the top seed, these teams will meet in the first round of the playoffs.
The Sabres have seven games remaining.
"We've got to take care of what we've got to take care of," Ruff said. "It's a good feeling when you can control your own destiny. I know it's not probably realistic, but it still gives us the upper hand."
New York had won the first three meetings this season — two after regulation — but Buffalo avoided a sweep on Friday.
"They had our number most of the year," said Ryan Miller, who made 26 saves. "It's nice to just break through and show we can beat this team.
"But we're getting ahead of ourselves. We'll talk in a few weeks."
Stafford had goals in the second and third periods and Ennis added one in the third. The Sabres took advantage of New York's aggressiveness as it tried to rally, and caught the Rangers with odd-man rushes that produced a pair of goals within 2:09 that made a 2-1 game 4-1.
The Rangers missed a chance to tie St. Louis atop the overall NHL standings, and now are in a precarious position in the East. They still lead Pittsburgh by one point, but the Rangers have only eight games remaining, compared to nine for the surging Penguins.
"We just need to play how we need to play," said Brian Boyle, who scored New York's lone goal. "We didn't focus on (points) all year and we shouldn't now. Just focus on being the best team we can."
New York went 4-3 on its seven-game homestand and will play its next three on the road, starting Saturday at Toronto.
The Rangers nearly tied it multiple times in the third period, with its best chance coming with under 7 minutes remaining when Buffalo's Christian Ehrhoff and Derek Roy laid out in the crease to assist Miller in keeping the puck out of the net. Just seconds later, Ennis fired a shot that deflected in off goalie Henrik Lundqvist to make it 3-1, and Stafford scored again at 16:09.
"It just reinforces how badly we want to make the playoffs," Ennis said.
The Rangers thought they had tied it moments earlier, but Brandon Dubinsky's goal was waved off because of a hand pass.
It was a rough second period for Rangers forward John Mitchell, who had a direct hand — and skate — in Buffalo's two goals.
New York defenseman Stu Bickel landed a crushing hit on Turnbull behind the Rangers net, but the Sabres forward — playing in his second NHL game — was able to get his stick on the loose puck enough to nudge it in front with his backhand. Mitchell was moving toward the crease and kicked the puck in the net to give Buffalo a 1-0 lead 3:14 into the second.
Referee Kevin Pollock picked up the puck after it had been swept out of the net, tossed it to Buffalo defenseman Andrej Sekera, who flipped it to someone on the Sabres bench for safe keeping. Turnbull is the 29th player to score for the Sabres this season.
New York got even at 9:32 on Boyle's seventh goal of the season, but another mistake by Mitchell led to another Sabres score.
Mitchell carried the puck inside the Buffalo zone and tried to skate deeper, when he got stripped of the puck by the backchecking Foligno. The quick Sabres suddenly had a 3-on-1 rush going the other way. Foligno sent a pass to Ennis, who then fed it to Stafford for a rising drive from the right side that sailed over Lundqvist's shoulder with 6:17 left in the second.
Stafford has been a key cog in the Sabres' recent surge toward a playoff spot. With his big performance Friday, he has four goals and eight assists in six games.
NOTES: The Rangers lost forward Mats Zuccarello in the first period when he was struck by a puck and broke his wrist. … Rangers D Tim Erixon earned his first NHL point in his 17th game — all the season — by assisting on Boyle's goal. … Columbus leads the NHL with goals from 30 players this season. The Sabres have had goals from 30 players three times, the most recent during the 1991-92 season.

Obama Budget Forces Republicans To Defend Protecting The Wealthy
And it also focuses on the disproportionately low rate their likely candidate, Mitt Romney, pays in taxes.
Indeed, if Dems have their way, Republicans will be voting en masse to protect the wealth of their own presidential candidate, one who is worth as much as $250 million and is benefitting to an untold degree from a tax rate that's lower than many middle class taxpayers pay. Maybe I'm missing something, but this doesn't seem like very good optics for Romney or the GOP.Click here for reuse options!

Aimpoint Launches New Optic Package For Blaser® Rifles
Aimpoint's previous Micro H-1 for Blaser rifles utilized a short mount that locked into just one of the two mounting points featured on Blaser rifle barrels. Based on repeated requests from the user community, a longer mount that utilizes both of the mounting points was developed and tested. Quick detach levers were added to allow this sight to be mounted and dismounted quickly, and without loss of zero. This mount is suitable for use on Blaser rifles, including the R93 and R8 models.
"The Blaser straight pull bolt system is extremely fast, and we like to think that the Aimpoint Micro H-1 makes it even faster" said Dave Pasienski, Director of Commercial Sales at Aimpoint Inc. "The repeatable nature of the Blaser mounting system allows a shooter to quickly change their optics without losing zero. Having this compact Micro H-1 in your kit allows a hunter to quickly swap their magnified scope for the speed and both-eyes-open aiming offered by an Aimpoint sight before moving into cover to stalk or track dangerous game. This is an advantage you cannot afford to be without."
The extremely compact Micro H-1 offers up to five years of constant on power from a single CR2032 battery, and has 12 brightness settings for optimal performance in any light conditions. This sight is completely waterproof, and has been designed to stand up to any extremes in temperature, shock, and rough handing that you will encounter in the field. The new Micro H-1 Blaser mount combination is available as a complete package from all Aimpoint Dealers, as well as from Blaser Dealers such as EuroOptic.

The clean and clear waters of Lake Superior are tempting, though the water is typically cold for even the hardiest swimmers.
There are no lifeguarded beaches at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore or its surrounding communities. Rip currents can and do occur. Rip currents do not always appear in the same spot every time; they can change position. Please use extreme caution if you choose to venture into Lake Superior waters.
Caution: Do not jump off rocks or cliffs into the water! The sandstone cliff edges are fragile and eroding. They may give way at any time. What you can't see can hurt you! The water depth can be difficult to predict and there's a good chance of rocks or logs in the water. Impact with the water can cause injury, and injury can lead to drowning. Hitting a solid surface under water is often deadly. If you want to go in the water, walk in from the beaches.
Please help keep our beaches clean.

*I plan on freezing this batch. When I'm ready to bake them I'll just pull it out in the morning to thaw and reheat in a 375 oven.
2 C cooked chicken *I used half of a rotisserie chicken from Kroger*
1 C ricotta cheese
1/4 C grated parmesan cheese plus 2 T for sprinkling
1/4 C crumbled fetta cheese
1/4 C milk
2 T parsley
1/4 t Italian seasoning *optional*
1/8 t pepper
8 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
2 C favorite spaghetti sauce
1 C frozen spinach, thawed and patted dry
1/2 C chopped mushrooms *I used crimini, they have great flavor*
In medium bowl combine chicken, cheeses, milk, pepper and Italian seasoning. Spread 1/3-1/2 C mixture on each noodle and pat into a flat line down the middle of the noodle; roll up like a jelly roll. In a 9x13 baking dish spread 1 C spaghetti sauce until bottom is coated. Arrange lasagna noodles seam side down in the sauce in the pan. Top with remaining sauce down the middle of each roll. Sprinkle parmesan cheese and parsley on each one. Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes.
*I found through trial and error the easiest way to do this is get your water to a rolling boil and drop your noodles in one at a time. I cooked mine for two minutes less than the recommended time. After they were done I laid out a sheet of aluminum foil and using tongs to transfer each noodle to the foil. I found that doing it this way helped avoid tearing the noodles. After they are laid out top with cheese mixture, roll up and place in pan and then throw away the foil and the mess!
