Professor Elaine Baker appointed as UNESCO Chair
20 September 2013
Professor Elaine Baker, from the School of Geosciences, has received the prestigious appointment of a UNESCO Chair in Ocean Governance at the University of Sydney from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, starting in mid-September 2013.
The international UNESCO Chair positions aim to improve the capacity of institutions to work globally and form partnerships with each other to deal with issues which transcend the borders of any single state. Professor Baker's position is for four years, with the option of renewal at the end of this period.
"Being made a UNESCO Chair is a great honour and I am hoping that it will enable us to develop a more visible presence at the University of Sydney for the science that supports the sustainable use of the oceans. There is growing interest in how we use and value the resources of the ocean," said Professor Baker.
"Most recently the United Nations has launched a program - the World Ocean Assessment - to make regular reports on the state of the marine environment including socioeconomic aspects. I have been very much involved in this process," explained Professor Baker.
"In addition, we have a number of programs, such as the University of the Sea, the Pacific Marine Spatial Information System, Deep Sea Mining and Blue Carbon, that link institutions in research, capacity building and knowledge transfer partnerships."
Professor Baker is the co-ordinator of University of the Sea - a program of the Asian Neighbours Network that allows senior researchers from the Asia-Pacific region to work with young local scholars on marine issues of direct interest to the region.
She leads the partnership between the 28 organisations involved in University of the Sea, which include the University of Sydney, University of NSW, University of Technology Sydney, Australian National University, University of Tokyo, Korean Ocean Research and Development Institute, Tongji University China, Partnership for Observation of the Global Oceans Canada, National Institute of Oceanography Goa, Indonesian Research Centre for Marine Technology, and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO.
"The UNESCO Chair position came about as the result of the collaborative project that is University of the Sea, but this is only one of many collaborative projects and capacity building activities that I am involved in. In addition to the 28 partner organisations in University of the Sea, I work with many other state government and institutional partners in the Pacific and West Africa on aspects of ocean governance," said Professor Baker.
Marine spatial planning and The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) for oceans project will be Professor Baker's major research focuses in this new position. She has recently received a large AusAID grant from the Australian federal government to conduct marine spatial planning with Pacific partners. The TEEB project was kicked off by a discussion paper commissioned by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), on which Professor Baker was an author. She is now developing a large scale project for TEEB with global partners.
"I think the UNESCO Chairs program is a great opportunity to capitalise on the research done at universities like Sydney, where we have fantastic people and research capacity, and can really contribute to the global debate on how we manage our marine environment, a large part of which has been designated the common heritage of mankind.
"Importantly, it gives us the opportunity to help build the expertise and leadership of marine scientists from the region so that they can sustainably manage their marine resources. This is very important for developing states and small island developing states in our area, as they are custodians to some of the largest marine jurisdictions and most valuable marine resources on the planet."

Want to get the Shiny Starters? Shiny Zorua? Shiny legendary dogs? Shiny Mew? or any other shiny pokemon in the game? Adopt them today using SnD coins! Click here for more info.
Visit the PTD: Pokemon Center - a place to trade pokemon, get your Daily Code, adopt Pokemon, view your items and change your avatar!
Released some time ago, this title quickly built up momentum and now with over 18 million plays, it's the most popular game available on the legendary Hacked Arcade Games site. Sam and Dan have outdone themselves with this awesome take on the epic Pokémon experience. It encapsulates the original game play and goal of catching all the creatures in a hybrid Tower Defence / RPG format. You get to follow awesome stories, evolve, trade and collect cool mystery gifts and many other incredible bonuses. Gotta catch 'em all!
You start the adventure by following the guidance of a very familiar figure, Professor Oak. He'll help you set up your game play and provide you with your first Pokémon to get the ball rolling. While this is happening the incredible story will start to slowly unfold and you'll be drawn into the cool twists and turns from the outset, starting by protecting the professor's rare candy but quickly moving out of Pallet Town and on to more dangerous tasks out in the wilds of a mystical land!
As you progress through the game and watch the mysteries unfold, you gain new and powerful Pokémon to help you in your quest. You'll soon come to realise that each of the awesome Pokémon have their own unique powers that work best in certain situations, so pay some thought to when and where to deploy your little dudes to maximise their effectiveness, defeat your enemies swiftly and protect the prize at all costs!
The game play itself is a seamless cross between the typical RPG format of exploring new lands and the cool TD experience of defending your ground and stopping invading forces. The defensive towers in this game are the Pokémon team members, but the objects and characters you must defend depend on the particular situation and point in the game you're at. Before you start each stage you must select your Pokémon defensive line-up that you'll strategically deploy to defend yourself during the game, but you can also get more versatile and select other Pokémon on the fly to help out in a scrape.
During each stage, you can click and drag the Pokémon in your line-up and place them into the path of the attacking Pokémon to stop them in their tracks and prevent them from carrying out their evil masters' wishes. Once deployed your little Pokémon dudes can pretty much stand their own and fight by themselves but you'll need to keep looking back on them frequently to check their health and help them evolve to become faster and stronger fighting critters! Keep your team evolving to increase their fighting powers and make them a formidable force to be reckoned with!
To truly become a Pokémon master and catch them all, you'll need to take the time to understand each of their powers. This will help you to recognise the most effective place to station them so they can inflict the most damage to your opponents and prevent the baddies from carrying out their dastardly plans for world domination!
The storyline and game play for this classic are really quite entertaining and you can easily find yourself caught up in things, spending a lot of fun-filled hours building your team and trying to catch every last one of the Pokémon! Sam and Dave have put in a lot of effort to beef out the story and it has paid off in the form of a cohesive game play melded well with a great storyline.
If you enjoyed this classic and would like to see other cool games from this amazing series then why not take the time to explore the HAG Pokémon archives! And check our Pokemon Tower Defense 2 at hacked arcade games.

Callicebus barbarabrownae
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Callicebus barbarabrownae Hershkovitz, 1990
Common Name(s):
Callicebus gigot ssp. gigot (Hill, 1960)
Callicebus personatus ssp. barbarabrownae Hershkovitz, 1990
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Described by Hershkovitz (1988; 1990) as a subspecies of Callicebus personatus. Kobayashi and Langguth (1999) argued that the titis of the Atlantic forest should be considered species rather than subspecies of C. personatus. They listed C. nigrifrons, C. personatus, C. melanochir and C. coimbrai besides C. barbarabrownae. According to Printes (2007), the name Callicebus barbarabrownae Hershkovitz, 1990 may prove to be a junior synonym of Callicebus gigot (Spix, 1823), according to the principle of priority.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Critically Endangered C2a(i) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Veiga, L.M., Printes, R.C., Rylands, A.B., Kierulff, C.M., de Oliveira, M.M. & Mendes, S.L.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
This species is listed as Critically Endangered due to its small population size (estimated to be less than 250 mature individuals in the wild), which is severely fragmented in small subpopulations (none exceeding 50 mature individuals), and which is continuing to decline extensive ongoing deforestation. The species is not known to occur in any protected areas.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Endemic to Brazil, the Blond Titi Monkey occurs in the states of Bahia (Hershkovitz 1990) and Sergipe at approximately 240-900 m asl (Printes 2007) from the Rio Paraguaçu river basin to the border between the states of Bahia and Sergipe along the margins of the Rio Real. Prior to the survey of Printes (2005, 2007), this species was known from only four localities: Lamarão (type locality), Formosa, Bandeira de Melo and Mirorós in the municipality of Ibipeba all in the State of Bahia (Hershkovitz 1990; Marinho-Filho and Veríssimo 1997). However, the taxon has now been confirmed at over 55 sites in Bahia and Sergipe (Printes 2007; Estrela et al. 2007). In recent surveys (195 km) undertaken in Lamarão in Bahia, the species was registered in four locations, all caatinga scrubland fragments (Estrela et al. 2007), some considerably smaller than previously estimated (A. Estrela pers. comm.). In the past, the coastal forests of the 'Agreste' in eastern Bahia probably supported large populations; however, this type of vegetation is rare today (Printes et al. in prep.). Populations have been located in three main regions: Agreste, Lamarão and north of the Chapada Diamantina. No titis were recorded in the region west of Araci and Nova Soure, which is dominated by the Cerrado. However, C. barbarabrownae was recorded in the Caatinga of the moister uplands northeast of Araci (Mandacaru, Mirandela and Serra Branca). The species was also recorded in Caatinga habitat further north as far as the Salitre river, 170 km from Juazeiro, but titis were not recorded west of the Chapada Diamantina (Printes 2007; Printes et al. in prep.)
Callicebus melanochir replaces C. barbarabrownae in the region known as the 'Recôncavo Baiano' (south of the Paraguaçu river in the municipality of Igrapiuna). The lower Paraguaçu forms the limit between the geographic ranges of C. coimbrai, restricted to the left or north bank, and C. melanochir, found on the right bank. Further west, in the region of Feira de Santana, C. barbarabrownae occurs on both banks of the Paraguaçu. There appears to be no physical barrier between the eastern limit of the range of C. barbarabrownae and the western limit of C. coimbrai (Printes et al. in prep.).
The extent of occurrence of the Blond Titi Monkey is estimated to cover an area of some 291,438 km², but its area of occupancy is only thought to be 2,636 km² (Printes 2007; Printes et al. in prep.). Approximately 90% of all records are between 37º and 41ºW and 09º and 13ºS (Printes 2007).

|The estimated minimum population is 260 individuals (Printes 2007).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Occurs in caatinga (dry scrubland) with a preferences for dense arboreal caatinga (Printes 2007). There are no available data on ecology.
|Major Threat(s):
|Occurs in a region of Brazil with widespread deforestation and habitat fragmentation. Cattle ranching, agriculture and continuing urbanisation are the main threats. The area is characterized by rapid development facilitated by an extensive network of highways. Other threats include potential dangers from roads and power-lines and predation by domestic pets. This species occurs in small fragmented populations that are exposed to synergistic genetic and demographic risks. Hunting pressure needs to be ascertained, but it is probably moderate due to the small body size. During surveys, a few individuals were found being kept as pets (Printes et al. in prep).
|Conservation Actions:
|The species is not found in any officially protected area. It is listed on CITES Appendix II.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky man has admitted to secretly recording a private campaign meeting between Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and his aides earlier this year.
Curtis Morrison of Louisville made the admission Friday in a first-person account posted on Salon.com, where he also said an assistant U.S. attorney has notified his attorney that a grand jury will consider bringing charges next Friday.
A spokeswoman said the U.S. attorney's office in Louisville would not comment. It was unclear who was representing Morrison. Morrison's phone had been disconnected, and he did not immediately respond to an email Friday.
Morrison, a former volunteer for the political group Progress Kentucky, also acknowledged in the story that he provided the recording to Mother Jones magazine.
On the recording, McConnell and his aides talked about opposition research into potential Democratic challengers.

Dear Hans Pandeya: Buying A Website Involves More Than Just Saying You're Going To Buy It...
from the just-so-you-know... dept
A few months back, however, Pandeya showed up again, this time in the US rather than Sweden, with a new company called Business Marketing Services, which was the result of Pandeya taking over the OTC stock symbol of an effectively defunct penny stock. However, he claimed he was still buying The Pirate Bay, supposedly from GGF -- except of course, GGF never actually owned The Pirate Bay, so the whole thing appeared to be a joke. Pandeya took exception to our coverage, demanded we correct the errors in the post, though he refused to explain what was in error. He also told us that he had "put the acquisition on hold," which is a funny thing to say when there's no evidence that there was any actual acquisition in the first place.
It looks like Pandeya's at it again, telling TorrentFreak that he's buying the BitTorrent community Demonoid. But, again, this appears to be wishful thinking. Demonoid hasn't agreed to any deal. Pandeya appears to be representing GGF again, and claims he now has money. It's not clear what happened to "Business Marketing Services," of course. Pandeya still talks big, saying he'd still like to acquire The Pirate Bay and IsoHunt, and claims that this time he's got money -- but he's said that before and these things haven't panned out.
So, a basic tip for Mr. Pandeya: talking about buying a website is not the same as actually buying that website. Also, saying you have cash is not the same as actually having the cash. So far, we've seen lots of claims from Mr. Pandeya, but no real follow through, so it's difficult to believe that this time around it will be any different.

Obama Warns Syria Again on Chemical Weapons
WASHINGTON -- President Obama on Monday warned that Syrian dictator Bashar Assad would be "held accountable" for any chemical weapons use in the country's bloody 20-month civil war.
Obama's threat of unspecified "consequences" followed by hours a similar Monday assertion by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that Syria's use of chemical weapons would cross a "red line" -- a term previously used by the president in addressing the situation in Syria. While Clinton did not offer specifics, the red line is taken to mean the point at which outside military intervention in Syria becomes possible.
The new statements by the Obama administration come as anonymous U.S. government officials have told news organizations of troubling new intelligence indicating forces loyal to Assad might be readying to put chemical arms into the field.
"I want to make it absolutely clear to Assad and those under his command, the world is watching," Obama said in a speech at the National Defense University at Fort McNair. "The use of chemical weapons is and would be totally unacceptable."
Damascus has said repeatedly it has no intention of mounting chemical strikes against domestic opposition forces, but it has left open the door for employing such unconventional weapons to ward off a possible foreign aggressor. Still, there is the worry that Assad could employ his sizeable chemical arsenal -- composed of hundreds of tons of blister and nerve agents, along with various delivery platforms -- against Syrian rebels if he determines he has no other options to stave off total regime failure.
Speaking at a symposium commemorating the two decades of nonproliferation gains accomplished through the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program, Obama promised in his second term to continue his high-profile efforts to secure nuclear and other WMD materials.
Since 1992, the CTR initiative has made considerable gains in securing weapons of mass destruction in former Soviet states including the removal of all nuclear warheads from Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan; deactivation of more than 7,600 nuclear warheads; and destruction of thousands of delivery platforms. In recent years, the program has expanded beyond one-time Soviet republics, supporting disposal of chemical weapons in Albania and efforts to secure potential biological weapons ingredients held in African laboratories. The total count of participating nations is about 80, Obama said.
Despite these advances, the president warned "there is still much -- too much material, nuclear, chemical, biological -- being stored without enough protection."
"There are still terrorists and criminal gangs doing everything they can to get their hands on them," said Obama, who in his first administration was instrumental in advocating for two high-profile global Nuclear Security Summits that focused on building broad-multinational support for tightening protections around atomic substances. "And make no mistake: If they get it, they will use it, potentially killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people."
The ongoing danger that terrorists might acquire and use an unconventional weapon means the U.S. federal government will continue funding its threat reduction programs, Obama told the forum's attendees, including CTR architects Senator Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) and former Senator Sam Nunn (D-Ga.). "Even as we make some very tough fiscal choices, we're going to keep investing in these programs because our national security depends on it."
The United States through the CTR program has provided Russia with more than $7 billion in monetary aid, technical expertise, and technology to secure Soviet-era weapons of mass destruction. That cooperation occurs under a soon-to-expire umbrella agreement that Russia dislikes for various reasons, including the oversight provided to Washington and liability rules that heavily favor the U.S. government and contractors in the event of an accident during a project.
Russia announced in October it did not intend to renew its participation in the CTR program when the underlying bilateral accord with Washington lapses in June, raising concerns about the future of U.S.-Russian nonproliferation cooperation.
Obama, however, sounded optimistic about the likelihood of striking a compromise with Moscow. "Russia has said that our current agreement hasn't kept pace with the changing relationship between our countries, to which we say, let's update it, let's work with Russia as an equal partner."
WASHINGTON -- President Obama on Monday warned that Syrian dictator Bashar Assad would be "held accountable" for any chemical weapons use in the country's bloody 20-month civil war.

UND Recognized as an American Heart Association Platinum-Level Fit-Friendly Worksite
Posted on 10/12/2012
University of North Dakota has been recognized as a Platinum-Level Fit-Friendly Worksites by the American Heart Association for helping employees eat better and move more.
UND leaders and employees will accept the award from the American Heart Association on Monday, Oct. 15, just before University President Robert Kelley and First Lady Marcia Kelley lead employees to the Grand Opening of the indoor walking paths through the parking ramp stairwells and skywalks. The event will begin promptly at 11:30 a.m., in Swanson Hall, along University Avenue next to the Memorial Union, with a brief presentation of the award.
UND will be accepting its fifth Platinum-level award and is the only entity in the state to receive platinum status. The award is given for meeting criteria in the areas of physical activity, nutrition, having a culture of wellness and increasing the number of employees that participate in worksite wellness.
UND had a spectacular year by reaching a record of 50.2 percent or 1,382 employees that participated in at least one worksite wellness activity. This is a 38 percent relative increase from the previous year. When asked about the increase, Kim Ruliffson, coordinator of the worksite wellness program, Work Well, said "Most of the increase has to do with the Advanced Ambassador Program. There are 56 staff and faculty that volunteer to be Ambassadors and have invited wellness staff to their meetings to provide programs on health, fitness and nutrition topics. Other popular programs that provided an increase in employee participation were through BCBSND. The Health Club Credit program incentivizes employees and spouses for working out at a gym 12 days a month and the HealthyBlue program incentivizes employees and spouses that use the on-line wellness tracking program."
"Employee wellness is a critical priority at the University of North Dakota and the Work Well' program aligns nicely with our Exceptional UND goals to enhance quality of life for faculty and staff. We are excited to unveil a new indoor path for staff, faculty and students to use in the North Dakota winters to ensure safe, marked areas for exercise", said President Kelley. "We're committed to providing the best workplace environment possible. This will benefit our employees' health and produce even more positive results for our worksite overall."
Fit Friendly employers:
Offer employees physical activity options in the workplace.
Increase healthy eating options at the worksite.
Promote a wellness culture in the workplace.
Implement at least nine criteria outlined by the American Heart Association in the areas of physical activity, nutrition and culture.
Demonstrate measurable outcomes related to workplace wellness.
Ruliffson says that in the past year, UND implemented health coaching to help employees and spouses make wellness goals as part of the free health screening offered conveniently on campus and also included nutrition and dietetic students at screenings. Additionally, the I CAN Prevent Diabetes 16 week program was new this year and the results were life-changing for participants to understand the food they eat and increase exercise to prevent the on-set of diabetes. There has also been continued success with current programs such as Weight Watchers at Work, where the participants from campus shed over 4,000 pounds since November 2009.
The Fit-Friendly Worksites program is catalysts for positive change in the American workforce by helping worksites make their employees' health and wellness a priority.
American employers are losing an estimated $225.8 billion a year because of healthcare expenses and health-related losses in productivity, and those numbers are rising. Many American adults spend most of their waking hours at sedentary jobs. Their lack of regular physical activity raises their risk for a host of medical problems, such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Employers face $12.7 billion in annual medical expenses due to obesity alone. The American Heart Association is working to change corporate cultures by motivating employees to start walking, which has the lowest dropout rate of any physical activity.
"The Fit-Friendly Worksites Program offers a unique, easy-to-implement opportunity for corporations to increase employees' physical activity, which will help improve their health - and their employers' bottom line," said Joan Enderle, Communication Director for the American Heart Association in North Dakota. "Even people who haven't exercised regularly until middle age can reap significant benefits by starting a walking program. A study published in 1986 in the New England Journal of Medicine found that some adults may gain two hours of life expectancy for every hour of regular, vigorous exercise they performed."

I am a certified nursing assistant who works at Sunnyview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. My top priority is giving the seniors there a chance to live out their years in dignity.
This should be a top priority of county officials as well. Instead, we see an attempt to make Sunnyview the scapegoat for Butler County's financial problems.
And, who pays the price in the end? It's the residents, employees and citizens of Butler County who rely on Sunnyview.
Rather than singling out Sunnyview, which brings in millions of dollars for the county each year, our county commissioners should be looking across the board to find savings to solve our county's budget problems.
They should be working to secure Medicare and Medicaid dollars, and urging Gov. Tom Corbett to accept the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.
We need our politicians to stand up for the citizens and seniors of Butler County, and work hard to give Sunnyview what it needs to provide the best care.
Sooner or later, most of us will need geriatric care and many of us will look to Sunnyview to provide it.
We need to look at the big picture of what matters for our community, both today and down the road.

Sitting down for Lone Survivor, the biopic of former SEAL Team 10 frogman Marcus Luttrell, I expected to be confronted with the horrors of war and the sacrifice soldiers like the Navy SEALs are forced to make for country, which I was. I did not expect to see a nod to Anchorman in the form of a signed picture of Ron Burgundy or a new team member dedicatedly acting out the big dance scene from Napoleon Dynamite. But when I spoke with Luttrell over the phone about the upcoming film, he assured me that these details were as true to his story as the brutal gunfire and battle damage I saw rained upon his onscreen doppelganger Mark Wahlberg, and the rest of the team.
Writer-director Peter Berg adapted Lone Survivor from Luttrell's best-selling memoir of the same name, which detailed the failed mission "Operation Red Wings." The mission's purpose was to capture or kill an infamous Taliban leader, but in the end it resulted in the biggest single loss of life for Naval Special Warfare forces since World War II. As the title suggests, there was only one survivor of this bloody conflict on an Afghani mountain on June 28th, 2005. His name is Marcus Luttrell.
He's a retired SEAL with a Navy Cross. He's a proud Texan, who repeatedly addressed me as "ma'am" during our conversation. He's a big fan of movies, though isn't the kind of guy to get star struck. And perhaps most importantly, he felt it was up to him to pay tribute to his fallen brothers by telling their story. He served as a consultant on Lone Survivor. And according to one of the film's stars, Emile Hirsch, he was on set nearly every day. Below, he shares what it was like making the worst day in his life into a movie, why he feels movies matter, and why he believes his late friends would have enjoyed Pain & Gain.
What kind of responsibility did being the lone survivor give you in telling this story?
The ultimate responsibility: to get it right. Since I was the only one to make it off the mountain, to make sure that nothing was exaggerated or fabricated and that what happened [actually] happened, and to honor their memory the best way that I possibly could.
After the book came out, was it important for you to see this made into a movie?
No ma'am. No, absolutely not. The book itself was a big deal. I was really apprehensive about that. That's not who I am. I was a Navy SEAL, not a writer. So, when the Navy came calling and said, "Hey, we're going to declassify this op and put it out"--because there are so many rumors and stories floating around about what had happened up there, that I'd be just sitting around and a family member would call me and say, "Hey you didn't tell me about this. Why am I hearing this?" And I would say, "I don't have any idea what you're talking about. That's not how that went down. You can't be listening to everything that you hear."
So, for you, the book was setting the record straight?
Yes, ma'am.
Did you have any say in casting?
I kind of left that up to Peter. It was one of those things where he's the pro at making movies. I mean, I like to watch movies, but as far as how they're made. I'm sure everybody who watches movies thinks they could make one, that they could act in one. I'm kind of a realist. I was like, "You're the resident expert on this. If you've got a question on Navy SEAL stuff, come to me."
But you deferred to him?
Right, and I think he did an absolutely fantastic job of picking the cast. It turned out very well. Everyone worked as a cohesive unit, from the time we started training to the time the film wrapped. I mean, you could see them grow together as team. It was actually an honor to watch that happen.

In response to a lawsuit between its members and regional YMCA board, The YMCA of South Alabama plans to hold elections this week for a new board. After the board has been reconstituted, the controversial strategic plan that led to the member lawsuit would be subject to a vote in order to move forward.
Members of the Moorer YMCA wanted to block the election, according to the Mobile (AL) Press-Register, but the judge in the case would not pass their injunction. With 21 candidates, 13 of which are current board members, seeking 21 seats on the board, voters can cast votes for and against individual candidates or vote positively or negatively for the entire group. Ten percent of the membership must participate for the election to be valid.
Hoping to relieve the organization's $5 million debt, the strategic plan that prompted the lawsuit involved the proposal of replacing the current 36,000-square-foot Monte L. and Louise R. Moorer YMCA in downtown Mobile, AL, with a 20,000-square-foot healthy living center.
The relocated Moorer YMCA branch would feature an increased focus on health and fitness, including a new personal training studio and more group exercise rooms. The new facility would not include the parking garage, swimming pool, gym or racquetball courts that the previous facility had.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A proposal to build a cruise ship terminal with taxpayer money in Savannah appears to have sunk.
The Savannah City Council voted unanimously Thursday to stop further work on studying where and how to build the estimated $70 million cruise ship dock. They city had already spent more than $250,000 studying the idea.
Public opposition to the project has been growing, with critics saying cruise ships would add to pollution and traffic congestion in Georgia's oldest city. They feared passengers coming-and-going to the ships wouldn't deliver a worthwhile boost in tourism dollars.
After hearing from concerned residents at its regular meeting, the council voted against moving forward with the next phase of the study, which was expected to cost an additional $82,000.

Without Oxford, there'd be no Lord of the Rings, we'd never have discovered Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and we'd be without one of Britain's most beautiful cities. This academic city is home to over 800 years of history and an alluring, cosmopolitan buzz.
Oxford's history extends way beyond its famous attractions. Don't miss the chance to eat at the Old Parsonage Hotel where Oscar Wilde is said to have stayed, and enjoy a pint at the Eagle & Child pub - the regular meeting place of JRR Tolkien and his literary group, the Inklings. If it's fine dining you're after, head to the nearby village of Great Milton where you'll find Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons - a 2 Michelin-starred restaurant run by iconic French chef Raymond Blanc.
Oxford is home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Here you can enjoy Oxford sightseeing by walking in the footsteps of world leaders, saints and Nobel prizewinners at any of the 38 colleges. Alternatively, at Oxford Castle, you can walk in the footsteps of prisoners at the 900 year-old underground crypt, which detained prisoners from 1071-1996. The Ashmolean Museum was the world's first public museum, founded in 1683. Today, it's one of the most important museums of art and archaeology in Britain.
Oxford's university buildings boast some of Britain's most impressive architecture. In fact, poet Matthew Arnold named Oxford 'the city of the dreaming spires' in reference to the many spires that crown the university buildings.
Our highlights? The Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Camera and Sir Christopher Wren's Sheldonian Theatre. Another of Oxford's cultural highlights is the jam-packed events calendar - don't miss the Oxford Literary Festival, Oxford Jazz Festival and the Oxford Chamber Music Festival.
You may have heard of a little-known literary series named after a wizard called Harry Potter. Oxford's sights have a strong connection to the feature films, and little ones will be delighted to discover the other side of the world-famous colleges. The Grand Hall of Oxford's mighty Christ Church College was the inspiration for the design of Hogwarts' Great Hall, and the Bodleian Library, New College and Blenheim Palace have all been Potter filming locations.
Oxford's literary connections are legendary – it was home to C.S Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Oscar Wilde to name a few. It was here that author Lewis Carroll met a young Alice Liddell, who became his inspiration for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The city's historical attractions are plentiful too - don't miss Kelmscott Manor - the home of poet and craftsman William Morris - and the amazing Blenheim Palace, considered to be one of the finest baroque houses in the country.
By day, Oxford is a quiet, peaceful city. But when the sun goes down, the city comes alive with vibrant bars, clubs and music venues. If you love live music, head to Cowley Road, where you'll find the O2 Academy. In the city centre, you'll find some of the city's most popular watering holes on George Street and Magdalen Street, or for something different, explore the bohemian district of Jericho.
If it's a unique shopping experience you want, you've come to the right place. As well as traditional high street shops, the city centre is home to the Covered Market - a lively mix of small stalls selling everything from handmade gifts to Oxford sausages and antiquarian books. Label lovers should head straight to the amazing Bicester Village. This designer outlet village sells collections from over 130 boutiques like Alexander McQueen, Burberry andMulberry at up to 60% off all year round.
Oxford is packed full of fascinating places to discover. At Oxford Botanic Garden, you can sit under J.R.R. Tolkien's favourite tree – said to be the one that inspired the tree-like Ents characters in The Lord of the Rings. And as you walk around the city, look up at the intricately carved gargoyles and grotesques that cling to the buildings. The mysterious faces have been there for hundreds of years – why not take a tour to discover the stories behind some of the most famous ones?

Best Uses
I bought these pedals after I upgraded to a specialized Tarmac comp. It took me a few attempts to get my foot just right to get in, but once I "felt it" I never had a problem again. I typically go on road rides and on that' note, clipping in and getting out was never a problem. Pending on how tight or lose you set the tension spring can make it a little easier for you to get in or out.
Best Uses
It was an item that was recommended to me since I purchased a sport road bike and new Bontrager RL road shoes. I guess it is your typical road cycling pedal, but it was not suitable for me since I live in the city where I actually abide by the traffic signals just to be safe. Unclipping from the pedal is very easy specially with the adjustable spring tension. However, I sometimes have a hard time finding the right spot to clip into the pedal quick enough to get out of cars' paths when a traffic light turns green. If you're looking for a quick clip in pedal while cycling in the city, then these might not be the best choice. They're great for long non-stop riding while out training for a race. So, no for city use; yes for suburban/longer riding periods. I love them once I'm on a trail, but the clipping in issue is a great concern when riding back home through the city. I hate knowing that I am causing some sort of traffic behind me just because I can't clip into the pedals quick enough.
Best Uses
These pedals are a good no nonsense design that are perfect for the first time clipless pedal user.

The former Florida Gator point guard assists graduated college athletes with the transition into the work force.
After helping lead Florida to a Final Four in 1994, point guard Dan Cross went on to a successful pro basketball career overseas.
But Cross realized that not all the athletes he knew in other sports were as fortunate.
"There's a 99-percent ratio that are looking to enter the workforce immediately," Cross said.
So when his playing career ended in 2005, he launched a business that helps place jobs for athletes coming out of college. Called "Athlete Connection," it has helped hundreds of former athletes to start careers out of school.
Cross said it's tough for athletes to network coming out of school due to NCAA regulations that limit booster-athlete contact.
"They're in a position to help and employ, but we're put at a disadvantage a lot of times if we don't understand how to network," Cross said. "There were some voids that were missing with the transition from sports to life after sports, the lack of preparation when it comes to a lot of student-athletes, when it comes to what careers you want to go into after sports."
Cross himself has dabbled in broadcasting Florida basketball games (during the 2010 and 2011 seasons) and runs summer basketball camps for his charitable foundation. Living in Orlando, Cross still closely follows the Gators and takes pride in being part of the first of four Final Four teams in UF history.
"To see the transition and the development of the tradition of University of Florida basketball, it's been a great experience to see what's taken place," Cross said.
But Cross now takes as much pride in helping fellow athletes succeed in the business world.
"There are a lot of companies that look for student-athlete qualities, such as insurance companies, such as financial companies like Nationwide and State Farm insurance," Cross said. "They look for the key and driven people that are very competitive. Since athletes are very competitive, you will find this particular niche market of employers, such as pharmaceuticals, insurance, financial services."
In one instance, Cross helped former Tennessee women's soccer player Melissa Amado. A Canadian, Amado was looking to secure a work visa in the United States following the end of her college career. Amado attended several of his events in Orlando, which put her in touch with business professionals.
"Within actually 72 hours she was hired, and she understood how to network, how to get business cards, how to follow up," Cross said.
Amado started a career in marketing with Wyndham Vacation Ownership in 2008.
"I couldn't thank Athlete Connections enough for the support, mentorship, networking and employment opportunities they provided me," Amado said.
Due to his Southeastern Conference ties, Cross started his client list with several athletes throughout the SEC. But Cross said it's now expanded to athletes throughout the country.
"What you'll find is there are athletes all across the country that are in the same position," Cross said. "It's what is next for their careers. So we've had a gamut of both gender athletes who are looking for employment opportunities. Everybody wants a job."

A controversial wildlife agency director abruptly resigned Wednesday amid continuing pressure from a former legislator and others about his deer management ideas.
Ken Mayer was in his second stint as director of the Nevada Department of Wildlife when it was announced he had resigned. He had previously worked in the same position and was fired from it in 2010 by the former governor, then rehired in 2011. Agency directors serve at the pleasure of the governor and his resignation followed a request to do so by Gov. Brian Sandoval.
The departure came after steadfast pressure about Mayer's ideas for deer management and his department's work battling federal protection of sage grouse. He will leave office Feb. 12.
"We all reach times in our careers where change in inevitable," Mayer wrote in a letter obtained by The Associated Press. "That time came for me this week when Gov. Sandoval's office asked me to resign as the director of the Nevada Department of Wildlife."
The Associated Press reported that former Nevada Assemblyman John Carpenter is among several who has pressured the governor to relieve Mayer. Carpenter is a Republican from Elko and told the Associated Press he has "had problems with Ken Mayer for a long time."
"It is the position of Ken Mayer to turn Nevada into another California," Carpenter wrote in a letter obtained by the AP that he sent to Sandoval, urging Mayer's ouster.
Being compared to California's wildlife agency is no shining beacon at the moment, since it, too, is undergoing criticism for some of its recent decisions.
State assemblymen and the animal groups last autumn pilloried the state wildlife commission's president, Dan Richards, after a photo of him on a legal mountain lion hunt in another state became public. They were outraged the wildlife commission boss would deign to go hunting a protected animal in California even in another state; he eventually was replaced.
The state agency changed its name at the start of the year to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, changing the last word from "Game" after pressure from animal "rights" activists.
Then California's DFW officials decided to cancel a planned predator hunting clinic, again bowing to pressure from outraged animal "rights" activists. Looking like children having their hands spanked, the agency backed away and heard about how non-lethal control methods should be used for mountain lions, coyotes and other predators. A state legislator has introduced a bill focused on those non-lethal options.
A longtime outdoors writer makes the point clearly in this column saying the California agency has lost its way.
If you're wondering who's running the show in California it doesn't appear to be the wildlife agency. So, being compared in Nevada to the Cali Follies doesn't seem to be a big compliment.
Stay tuned.

GENEVA – Trevor Gretzky's parents always encouraged him to choose his own path growing up, which in part explains Gretzky's current coordinates along the Kirk Road corridor.
The son of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky pursued football and baseball as a child. Had he tried taking after his old man, it's likely Gretzky would have appeared at neighboring Fox Valley Ice Arena before Fifth Third Bank Ballpark.
The Cubs drafted Gretzky as an outfielder in the seventh round in 2011, some 15 months before agreeing to a player-development contract with the Cougars.
Making his Kane County debut over the weekend, Gretzky wore No. 29 – a ways off from his dad's iconic 99 by design.
"They've done a good job of letting me do my thing, too, you know," said Gretzky, whose mother is actress Janet Jones. "They don't want to be here every day. They obviously could. But they want me to kind of learn the ropes and do it on my own."
Gretzky, 20, entered Monday's game against Clinton still in search of his first Midwest League hit. He joined the Cougars from Short-A Boise on Wednesday on the heels of Dan Vogelbach's promotion to Advanced-A Daytona.
He was 0 for 3 with a walk Saturday night and batted .256 with six RBIs in 27 games at Boise.
Giving up hockey at a young age because other sports interested him more, Gretzky was the starting quarterback at Oaks Christian (Calif.) High for a time and turned down a baseball scholarship to San Diego State when the Cubs drafted him.
Competing for playing time in a Boise outfield that included another pro sports legacy in Shawon Dunston, Jr., Gretzky worked to mimic the approach of all minor leaguers: Make an impression whenever given an opening.
"I've been healthy. I've been good. There's a lot of good outfielders down in Boise," Gretzky said. "I was just waiting for my opportunity. I'm here now, so I'm going to go with it and play hard the rest of the season."
Most Cougars were early in their grade school careers when Wayne Gretzky retired as the NHL's all-time leading scorer after the 1998-99 season.
The oldest player in the clubhouse, 24-year-old left-hander Sheldon McDonald, was born in Edmonton about three months after his hometown Oilers traded Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings in August 1988. Many believe the deal that sent the four-time Stanley Cup winner west changed the landscape of modern hockey.
"I didn't get to see all the glory days, but I definitely watched the replays and watched him play when he was still playing," McDonald said. "He was a great player, and it's pretty cool to have Trevor on the team. Hopefully, maybe Wayne will come up for the last series and we can talk to him a bit."
Trevor Gretzky – the middle of five children – made no promises, but mentioned his parents could be in attendance for part of the Cougars' final home series over Labor Day weekend. Several relatives from his mom's side of the family traveled from the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood, Mo., for games Saturday and Sunday.
Gretzky's parents live in California but spend their summers in Spokane, Wash., and Idaho, which made for convenient travel when their son was with Boise.
Vancouver, the most metropolitan stop in the Northwest League, was abuzz when Wayne Gretzky was on hand while the Hawks were in town in mid-July.
The son of The Great One aspires not to be The Great Big One, or to upstage his famous father.
Still, for all the physical resemblances, the 6-foot-4, 190-pound Gretzky realizes corner outfielders can't always be lithe.
Before Monday, just five of his 57 minor-league hits went for extra bases, including zero home runs.
"The offseason's going to be huge for me. I've got to put on some weight and I'm going to spend a lot of time in the weightroom, and that's the biggest thing for me," Gretzky said. "But I just think I need to keep doing what I'm doing and work hard, and it'll happen. It'll come together."

John Hagee's "In Defense of Israel"
Thank you for your e mail.
While I appreciate John Hagee's support for Israel, he is clearly theologically misguided.
Some months ago prior to his book being published we were aware of where he was going and Mike Oppenheimer (a Jewish brother in discernment ministry) and I discussed it and considered some action. The problem is that John Hagee officially denies that he is dual covenant and he seems to accept the basic tenets of the New Testament faith.
Gary S Greig's Pseudo-Scholarly Apologetic For The Unbiblical Antics Of Todd Bentley
A Review Of Gary S Greig's Pseudo-Scholarly Apologetic For The Unbiblical Antics Of Todd Bentley And The Lakeland, Florida Sequel To The Failed Revivals Of Kansas City, Toronto, And Pensacola
by J. Jacob Prasch
Moriel Ministries
Faculty of Hebrew, Judaism and Judeo Christian Hermeneutics
Midland Bible College and Divinity School, University of Wales, UK
Jacob Prasch is the author of several books and holds a non-cessationist pneumatology. He believes in the ongoing operation of charismatic gifts as defined and practiced biblically, but firmly rejects the alleged "revivals" of Lakeland, Toronto, Brownsville, and Pensacola as carnal and demonically-influenced counterfeits of biblical charismata.
Scholarship and Reality
Although my initial academic background was in science, I entered the world of theology at Cambridge University and London Bible College/London School of Theology. This was after serving a number of years as a lay missionary in Israel prior to ordination. In the theological jungle of undergraduate and postgraduate theological and divinity studies and research I learned much about what is indeed a virtual game and how the game is played.
Fraud, Embezzlement, Illegal Tax Free Benefits By The Executives of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship John Arnott and Steve Long

Canada has strong hate laws! And TACF words and lawsuit against Walter Kambulow and his family is a hate crime.
Aird & Berlis did their Client Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, John Arnott and Steve Long a disservice by trying to bury their " financial and hate crimes" and by trying to destroy Mr. Kambulow, the whistleblower, using the court system instead of telling their client to come clean!
Church Of England To Allow Women Bishops
Tuesday, 08 July 2008
The Church of England's governing body has confirmed it will ordain women bishops but also approved measures to accommodate traditionalist opponents.
After six hours of debate over the direction to be taken by the 450-year-old church, the solution hammered out by the synod was a typical Anglican compromise that sought to avoid a mass walkout by opponents of women bishops.
English Paper Announces President Bush May Be Considering Catholicism
[caption id="attachment_10" align="alignright" width="250" caption="The Pope & President Bush"][/caption]
Vatican City, Jun 13, 2008 / 05:50 pm (CNA).- Today as President Bush and Pope Benedict XVI met at the Vatican, the English newspaper, The Telegraph reported that Bush may be considering converting to Catholicism at the end of his presidential term.
The Telegraph indicated that various Italian newspapers have been commenting on the news, especially Il Foglio.
Il Foglio explains that the circulating rumors could be correct: 'anything is possible, especially for someone reborn like Bush." Â Yet, similar to former Prime Minister Tony Blair, 'if anything happens, it will happen after he finishes his period as president, not before. It is similar to Blair's case, but with different circumstances.'
Statement Concerning James Sundquist
To Whom It May Concern
A series of vicious and unfounded attacks against Pastor John Higgins, Mike Gendron, and others (including members of the Moriel team) are being circulated concerning events that transpired at a Conference held at a Calvary Chapel in Tempe , Arizona three years ago in June of 2005 which for some inexplicable reason has been resurrected as an issue. The Conference theme and aim was Roman Catholicism, the Evangelization of Roman Catholics, and the dangers of the ecumenical movement.

NEPO 5K: Don't Run
Saturday (9/10)
When is a 5K not a run? When the city won't give you a permit! No matter, it's easier to experience art at a slower pace, anyway. Artist Klara Glosova, who opens her Beacon Hill home to the public for exhibits of local art on a regular basis as NEPO House, has organized an extravaganza of visual art and performance spanning 5K between Occidental Square and NEPO House. Start in Occidental Square, where you'll obtain maps and "artistic licenses," witness a performance by Vis-à-Vis Society, meander through exhibits in Pioneer Square galleries, then make your way to the International District, wander into new installations in Hing Hay Park (where Seattle mag online editor and NEPO board member @bondhuberman will be leading a very interesting game inspired by Werner Herzog's Encounters at the End of the World); and mosey up to Beacon Hill, where live music awaits, as well as acres of art at NEPO House. Along the way, expect a variety of live performances. The only rule? No running. 9/10. Walk: 2–6 p.m. NEPO House art show: 6 p.m.–midnight. Free. nepohouse.org

Saturday (9/10)

History of Thomas More College & Villa Madonna College
Thomas More has not always been located in Crestview Hills - nor has it always been called Thomas More College.
The Benedictine Sisters of Covington, Kentucky, founded Villa Madonna College in 1921 to train Catholic school teachers and to provide college education for young women. The college was chartered by the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1923. Villa Madonna graduated its first students in 1929 and sponsorship changed from the Benedictine Sisters to the Diocese of Covington the same year. Three religious orders operated Villa Madonna in its early years: the Sisters of Notre Dame, the Congregation of Divine Providence and the Benedictine Sisters.
Although founded as an institution for women, men attended many of the same classes through the Villa Madonna - affiliated St. Thomas More College. In 1945, Villa Madonna was designated a co-educational college and St. Thomas More College was abolished.
Affirmation of its goals and increasing enrollment prompted relocation of the college from downtown Covington to what is now Crestview Hills. The new complex was renamed Thomas More College and was dedicated by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.
Today, Thomas More College serves just over 1,900 students. Although primarily from Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, students from about 20 states and several countries attend Thomas More College.

MILLBURY — Pet owners are being warned to stay close to their animals after a pack of coyotes killed a small dog just outside its owner's home.
Animal Control officer Daniel Chauvin said a small Norfolk Terrier was killed soon after its owner, Michael Conlon of Jessica J Drive, let it out about 7 a.m. Wednesday.
The dog was contained within an electric fence, but that had no effect on the coyotes, Mr. Chauvin said.
"They just entered the area of the electric fence like it was any other piece of real estate," he said. "The amazing thing is how close they came to the house. They came right up to the door."
He said the dog's owner, who was in the kitchen, reported that he never heard a sound.
"I'm so certain they have done this before because it was so clean, so quick and so silent. It wasn't just them stumbling onto a dog," he said.
Jessica J Drive is a cul-de-sac abutting a large area of open space between Route 146 and South Main Street.
Mr. Conlon could not be reached for comment.

Post subject: Fruit & Berry Vinegars
Blackberry vinegar is my number one favourite, and it began as an end of summer holiday family ritual as when I was growing up. For us Blackberry picking always began on the last Sunday of the annual school summer holiday. The resulting Blackberry harvest provided our family for several months to come with; jams, pies, syrups, cordials and vinegars, etc. It was a tradition that I continued with my children, becoming a much looked forward to, end of summer ritual.
My Mother and Grandmother both swore by Blackberry vinegar as a cure all for coughs, colds, sore throats and the flu. No doubt this is because of the amounts of vinegar and Blackberries used; I have read somewhere that Blackberries are one of the few fruits that do not experience the destruction of vitamin C when they are cooked.
You can use virtually any soft fruit or berries to make a fruit vinegar, and other favourites of mine are; Blackcurrant, Blueberry, Logan Berry, Raspberry and Strawberry. Although in the past I have also used Apples, Pears, Peaches, Damsons and Plums.
Normally I would pick the berries when they are in season, but as most of you are aware I have only recently moved into My own place, and I now have full unrestricted access to a kitchen for the first time in a little over three years. This year promises to be an exciting one, as there are loads of other recipes that I would like to try. However, this thread is about making fruit vinegars, and new vinegar recipes that I intend to try during the coming seasons will include; Apricot, Black and Green Grapes, Rose Hips, Haws, Gooseberry, and Rhubarb.
However, it is the end of January and so I have had to cheat a little, by purchasing 1 Kg of frozen Black Forest fruits from one of the major supermarkets. This fruit and Berry mix consists of; Blackberries, Raspberries, Blackcurrants, Black Cherries, Black Grapes and Strawberries.
The other ingredients for this fruit vinegar are; 2 litres of Malt vinegar, and 2 Kg of white granulated sugar. Note; if you pay attention you will notice that I was not fully prepared, and only had a little over 1.5 kg of sugar available and so I was reduced to ad-libbing, by utilising 425g of clear honey (keep your eyes on the sugar jar behind the kettle in the photos). You can make a fruit vinegar with Honey, but that is usually in a 50-50 ratio with the sugar. I have made this batch of fruit vinegar in the ratio of 3 parts sugar, and 1 part Honey.
Normally I would make fruit vinegar with the base ingridients in the ratio of; 1 kg fruit, 1 kg Sugar, and 1 Litre of Vinegar. I prefer to use a Malt vinegar, but plain and unflavoured wine and cider vinegars can also be used. Here in england, I am lucky because of the many small to medium sized Cider producers, who often also produce their own Cider Vinegars. Different varities of appples and techniques ensures many interesting base cider vinegars for me to work with. I hope to find a Perry (Pear) Vinegar producer this year, and try that as a base for one of my batches fruit vineger making.
First let the pack of fruit thaw out. Obviously if you have picked the fruit and berries yourself, you will not have to go through this stage.
Then place the fruits into a large mixing bowl, and zap them with a blender on the lower speed.
When you have the fruits and berries coarsely zapped with the blender, add half of the malt vinegar. Then zap the mix again, but on the higher speed.
Pour in the rest of the Malt vinegar and continue zapping it with blender on the high speed. When you are satisfied, cover the bowl, and stand it in the fridge overnight.
The following morning, stand the bowl on the work top and allow the contents to gradually return to room temperature.
Then strain it all through a sieve into a large pan. This is going to take some time; this batch took slightly over 4 hours to fully drain through my sieve. So putting it through a coarse sieve first would help.
Turn on the heat and bring it steadily up to the boil. Turn the heat down, and gently simmer for 5-10 minutes whilst occasionally stirring. This will give you the opportunity to start weighing out the sugar.
As the fruit and the vinegar is gently simmering, steadily add the sugar, constantly stirring.
As explained earlier, I did not have sufficient sugar available, and so I added 425 g of clear Honey.
Continue with a gentle simmer for about 90 minutes or until the mix has reduced by about a quarter of its volume. If you require a thicker, more syrupy end product, continue simmering until the mixture has reduced by a third. When I was a child, my mother often reduced her Blackberry Vinegar by half, ending up with something with the viscosity of Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup.
Stand the bottles in a pan of cold water, and slowly bring to the boil. The bottles have already been sterilised and this step is to prevent heat shock during the transfer shattering the glass bottles. I am using an empty 2 litre glass Cider jug and a 1 litre glass Cordial bottle because they are what I had immediately to hand. Usually I would prefer to use 250-500ml glass bottles for my vinegars.
Skim all of the scum from the surface of the simmering mix.
Make sure that your funnel is to hand and place it into the neck of the first bottle ready for the transfer.
With the bottle still standing in the pan of hot water, steadily pour the hot fruit vinegar into it. Be extremely careful when pouring, the syrup is still close to boiling point. WARNING: Scalds from hot syrups are usually very serious. So take very good care!
Here I have approximately 2.5 litres of hot volume fruit vinegar now bottled and ready to cool. Place a porous cloth held in place by an elastic band over the neck of the bottle. CAUTION: Do not place the cap on the bottle before it has fully cooled. As the fruit vinegar cools, the volume will reduce noticeably. If you cap at this stage the bottle could implode as it cools. Possibly causing injury, and definitely causing a sticky mess.
It is now 24 hours later and my Black Forest fruit vinegar has cooled. Note; as the vinegar has cooled, the level in the 2 litre Cider jug has reduced by about the volume of a wine glass.
There you go, I just couldnt resist making myself some hot, almost crispy, golden brown pancakes and drizzling them with some newly made Black Forest fruits vinegar, a dessert or a light snack, which is worthy of an Emperor.
These fruit vinegars are a lot like a good wine, improving with age. So if the opportunity allows, let them mature for a few months or even a year or two.
There are many ways to use fruit vinegar and I will list a few my tried and trusted favourite methods.
Coughs and sore throats: Take 2 teaspoons of neat Blackberry or Raspberry vinegar as you would an expectorant cough mixture, as and when required.
Colds, Flu, and Fevers: Fill a tumbler half full of Blackberry or Raspberry vinegar, top off with boiling water and drink.
As a marinade: Pour about 2-3 mm of Fruit vinegar into a flat bottomed dish and marinade Pork chops, Lamb chops, Chicken and Turkey breasts, Prawns or White fish Fillets; Cod, Coley, Haddock, Sea Bass and Whiting, etc. Turn over after a couple of hours and marinade the other side, then grill or BBQ for a wonderfully fruity, sweet and sour flavour. I can certainly confirm how tasty Reindeer steaks marinated in Arctic Blueberry Vinegar are.
On a roast: Pour over the Sunday Joint before popping it into the oven. Goes extremely well upon Lamb, Pork, Chicken and Turkey, but it is absolutely fabulous on roast Duck, Pheasant, and Rabbit. The resulting gravy is divine.
Brush a little fruit vinegar into the cavity of a Trout, Artic Char, or a Mackerel, or on to a Salmon, Tuna, Swordfish or Marlin Steak or fillet before grilling. Oily and Pelagic fish do not seem to marinade well in fruit vinegar, but it does work extremely well when they are only lightly coated using a brush.
As a Drizzle: Now this is where I will start all of the controversy, drizzle it on to; pancakes (a Shrove Tuesday family tradition), leftover Yorkshire pudding, Ice cream, Quiche, Baked Alaska, Sponge, Cheese cake, on toasted nuts and roasted Chestnuts, or enjoy it warmed over a spirit burner as a dip with a cheese board, the list is endless.
Well, that is how I make fruit Vinegars, and some of the ways that I enjoy the fruits of my labour. I trust that you have enjoyed this article, and will be encouraged to make and use your own fruit Vinegars.

That sounds wonderful! Just a few questions:
How do you store the finished vinegar? Refrigerated, or room temperature? Do you seal the bottles if you're planning to let it age?

I store my bottles of Fruit vinegar at the back of a cupboard, and have found that they will keep for 3 years and longer. So the rule would be, storage in a dark, cool place.
I always use screw cap bottles, and do nothing special to improve the integrity of the seal. But I assume that adhesive tape could be used, or the neck and cap of the bottle could be dipped into molten sealing or candle wax.
I have used screw top glass bottles for many years, and have also used screw cap plastic bottles, empty 350 ml Lucozade brand, bottles being a favourite. Mainly because I like the wide neck when filling the bottles. I also use these bottles exclusively when posting my fruit vinegars around the UK to family and friends. These are sealed with a couple of turns of adhesive tape.
This year, In my own kitchen, I have also used the hinged, wired down, flip top glass bottles, like the Grolsch beer bottle. But only because they are so convenient to use.

Damson Vinegar; Alternative method.
I have tried a new method of fruit vinegar making today, and it has been a resounding success.
2 Kgs ripe Damsons
2 litres Vinegar (I have used Malt vinegar, but you could use; Wine. Cider, Rice vinegars, etc.)
2 Kgs Demerara sugar
850 grams clear Honey.
Soak the Damsons in the vinegar for about 24 hours. Saving the vinegar base, drain the damsons and place in a large pan. Measure out 250 ml of the saved vinegar, and pour over the Damsons. Turn on the heat, bring up to the boil and reduce the Damsons; this may take up to 15 minutes or so on the boil. Strain the Damson skins and stones from the liquor, and throw them away. Return the liquor to the heat, bring to the boil, and stir in the remaining Vinegar, Honey and Sugar, bring to the boil, turn down down to a rolling boil and reduce by about 1/3. Bottle into sterlised glass bottles and cap.
This has turned out to be a full bodied, rich tasting vinegar with a bit of a smack; it's well worth doing, and I am certain that it will be a fantastic marinade for both Pork and Chicken meals, and as dressing for salads, etc.
The Damsons soaking in the Malt Vinegar:
The Sugar and the Honey:
Everything weighed out and ready to go;
Reducing 2 kgs of Damsons in 250 ml of the base Vinegar on a high heat:
This what it looks like after about 15 minutes on the boil:
I found that one of the pans from my vegetable steamer, fitted perfectly on top of my strainer; giving me a coarse and medium straining of the fruit liquor:
Straining the Damson skins, coarse pulp and stones from the liquor:
Bring the liquor back to the boil ready for adding the remaining Vinegar, Honey and Sugar:
The liquor reduced by about 1/3 and ready for bottling:
Lois and I recently found a new way to enjoy home-made Fruit Vinegars: Pickled Eggs.
Here is our very first attempt at Pickling Eggs in some of my home-made Blackberry Vinegar. When we sampled a couple of the eggs last weekend, they where outstandingly tasty, and were definitly worth the albeit minimal effort involved in the whole and worthwhile process.
Here is Lois' and my recent attempt at Bantam eggs pickled in Home-made Blackberry Vinegar:
Easy, Innit!

The Affordable Care Act adopted in 2010 requires U.S. citizens and legal residents to have qualifying health insurance, either through a private or a public plan (for example, Medi-Cal, Medicare or veterans benefits) by Jan. 1.
The Affordable Care Act adopted in 2010 requires U.S. citizens and legal residents to have qualifying health insurance, either through a private or a public plan (for example, Medi-Cal, Medicare or veterans benefits) by Jan. 1.
This very important - and controversial - provision of the law is referred to as the individual mandate.
Insurance is required of just about everyone to share the risk and keep costs down. The law makes it illegal for insurers to discriminate against someone with a pre-existing condition such as a bad ticker or diabetes, a practice that has kept many people out of the marketplace. Some insurers got around this by charging more for someone in ill health, but they can no longer do that. In some cases, just being a woman was treated as a pre-existing condition. Women must be treated equally with men when it comes to health care. Discrimination is specifically outlawed.
If you don't obtain coverage by Jan. 1, you will be assessed a penalty through your taxes. If you can answer yes to any of the following statements, you will not be assessed a penalty:
� You are part of a religion opposed to acceptance of benefits from a health insurance policy.
� You are an undocumented immigrant.
� You are incarcerated.
� You are a member of an American Indian tribe.
� Your family income is below the threshold for filing a tax return ($10,000 for an individual, $20,000 for a family in 2013).
� You have to pay more than 8 percent of your income for health insurance, after taking into account any employer contributions or tax credits.
If you were insured for the whole year through a combination of any of the following sources, the requirement to have health insurance is satisfied and no penalty will be assessed:
� Medicare.
� Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California) or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP or Healthy Families).
� TRICARE (for service members, retirees, and their families).
� Veteran's health program.
� A plan offered by an employer.
� Insurance bought on your own that is at least at the bronze level.
� A grandfathered health plan in existence before the health reform law was enacted.
If you are uninsured or don't fall into any of the previous categories, here's what you will face in penalties. And while some people might consider paying the fine because it is less than the insurance premium, consider that it will grow substantially in the second and third years:
� 2014: Penalty is $95 per adult and $47.50 per child (up to $285 for a family) or 1 percent of family income, whichever is greater.
� 2015: Penalty is $325 per adult and $162.50 per child (up to $975 for a family) or 2 percent of family income, whichever is greater.
� 2016 and beyond: Penalty is $695 per adult and $347.50 per child (up to $2,085 for a family) or 2.5 percent of family income, whichever is greater.
