We've picked the best chicken wings in Central New York. Then we chose the best pizza, burgers and breakfast. Now, we're washing it all down with the best cocktails.
Readers nominated their favorites, and then you voted for the top five.
Now our judges are visiting your picks and testing each bar's signature martini and their choice of drink.
This week's contestant: CopperTop Tavern, 3380 Milton Ave., Camillus (There's also a location in North Syracuse.)
Tested: S'mores Martini and the Black Cherry Guava Mojito
Corinne Rudy has been pouring drinks at the CopperTop for six years. She believes the two drinks we tested this week are so popular among her clientele not just because of the taste, but because of the experience.
She calls the S'mores Martini "a liquid campfire in a glass." She chills and shakes 2 1/2 shots of marshmallow-flavored vodka, 3/4 of an ounce of toasted marshmallow syrup and a half ounce of half-and-half. She pours it into a chilled martini glass rimmed with chocolate syrup and crushed graham crackers. She garnishes it with two large marshmallows that she toasts with a torch at the bar.
The CopperTop's signature mojito starts with a half of shot of simple syrup muddled with fresh mint in a pint glass. Rudy then squeezes in a half of lime. Then come shots of three different rums: black cherry, guava and citrus. She tops it with club soda. "It's the perfect drink for a warm day like this," she said.
Charlie Miller, syracuse.com high school sports manager: "I'll be honest, I'm a martini snob: Bombay Sapphire gin, a drop of vermouth, stirred with a good olive. That said, Rudy's a pro in mixology and presentation. The folks at the CopperTop should rename the S'mores Martini to the 8'more Martini because that's exactly what I wanted. The mojito was brilliant as well. It was like a salad in a glass that leaves you with good breath."
Katie Kramer, syracuse.com social media specialist: "I wouldn't say no to going back to CopperTop Tavern and trying more delicious drinks. The S'mores Martini was just like a campfire in my mouth thanks to the marshmallow and graham crackers. All that was needed was a piece of chocolate to finish it off. I'll leave the "Kumbaya" singing to the judge. The Black Cherry Guava Mojito's flavors were so refreshing on a warm day. The drink went down so smooth like water that we literally drank it as fast as water, like we were in the Sahara."
James Cecile, Syracuse City Court judge: "After tasting the drinks here at CopperTop, I certainly realize why they made the final five in this contest. The S'Mores martini was excellent. The roasted marshmallows in place of olives and the graham cracker crust around the top of the glass perfectly complimented this sweet and tasty drink. I felt like telling ghost stories and singing "Kumbaya." The black cherry guava mojito was cool and refreshing, and I'm sure the mint leaves added important nutrients. In fact, this drink was so refreshing I may put this in a water bottle when I work out. It won't make the workouts any easier, but it will certainly make them more enjoyable."
Katrina Tulloch, syracuse.com entertainment reporter: "A whiff of toasted marshmallows at the bar? Color me intoxicated. Although sophisticated drinkers might dismiss it to girly-drink doom, a smart camp counselor opts for this martini over dessert. From the chocolate-dipped rims to the graham cracker crumbs, these drinks are pure campfire decadence. I slurped the mojito up a little too quickly because it tasted like my personal favorite, the gimlet, replaced with rum. A lot of rum. But the juicy lime and muddled mint masked all three shots of Cruzan - a good thing or a bad thing depending on how much of your night you want to remember."
Don Cazentre, syracuse.com food and drink writer: "You don't need a roaring campfire to savor one of these sweet drinks. From the sweet rim to the toasted marshmallows skewered over the top, it seems more like a dessert drink that a pre-dinner cocktail. But hey, whatever lights your fire. And don't be fooled: There is alcohol in here. It'll sneak up on you. This mojito is the perfect tall, cool drink for a hot day, with a touch of fruit. Is it cherry or is it guava? It blends so seamlessly it's hard to pinpoint. But in a word: refreshing."

There Is No Egg in Eggplant
You may know what you mean to say when you're writing copy for your Web site, but are you expressing your vision as clearly and precisely as possible?
You may know what you mean to say when you're writing copy for your Web site, but are you expressing your vision as clearly and precisely as possible?
The night before the Search Engine Strategies conference in Dallas, I was at dinner with my cousin Sandra and my friends Anthony Muller, Detlev Johnson, Jill Whalen, and Heather Lloyd-Martin. In the course of conversation, Heather, of search engine copywriting newsletter Rank Write, blurted out this week's article title.
What brings this to mind now? Well, I've been exhausting hours on conversion assessment reports for several clients, which puts me in a very objective frame of mind. I've found that the fascinating similarity between all the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) sites I've been analyzing is the weakness of the copywriting. Each site fails to precisely and fully describe what the writer wants from the visitor. After all, the word "egg" may superficially resemble the word "eggplant," but, if you mean "eggplant," you should say it.
George Bernard Shaw said: "Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last you create what you will."
In a previous article, I quoted Roy H. Williams: "Describe what you want the listener to see, and she will see it. Cause her to imagine taking the action you'd like her to take, and you've brought her much closer to taking the action." The sites I've been looking at don't deliver a complete mental image that allows readers to put themselves in the picture and comprehend the whole. The following poem by John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887), about six blind men encountering an elephant, provides the perfect example: The Blind Men and the Elephant
It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!"
The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, "Ho, what have we here,
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!"
The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a snake!"
The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," quoth he;
"'Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"
The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!"
The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!
Most efforts at persuasion online are nothing more than one blind man trying to convince another to "see" the elephant as he does. You've read copy like this: "The blankety-blank is the true essence of a high-performance blankety-blank, delivering sizzling blankety-blank in an absolutely refined way. It's a paradigm shift with profound implications for blankety-blank." If this is how you are speaking to your visitors, you need to develop a plan for constructing persuasive copy.
The key to constructing effective mental images and creating powerful persuasive copy lies in systematic and coherent intentionality. Your copy should not be constructed randomly. Instead, it should flow, interconnect, have a consistent personality, and reveal the gestalt as well as the particulars. It can help to follow a fundamental process similar to the one that is used in other developmental or "construction" practices.
Begin by wireframing the mental image or series of mental images you want to interconnect, starting with the action or actions you want your visitor to take. In wireframing, we begin by dealing with "what" questions — the how comes later. The goal is to ensure that the needs of both you and your readers will be met. Find all the words that help describe the complete mental images you need to convey — all the nouns that draw the mental picture and all the adjectives that modify these. Then relate these nouns with verbs, which are modified by adverbs. Finally, add prepositions to form complete sentences and paragraphs that will evoke the full mental image and its associations in the mind of the reader.
The next step is to arrange content in the form of a storyboard. You develop mock-ups of potential "pages" that support the flow of all actions identified in the wireframe. Your result looks a lot like an enhanced flow chart, with pages representing each mental image. Each sheet describes the mental image and contains a summary of the objectives.
Remember, our objective here is to elicit certain emotions that will lead people to do what we want them to do, since people buy emotionally and only rationalize it later. Once you have each sheet done, arrange the pages in the logical order of the persuasive process, with arrows between them.
The third phase, whose early segments may occur in tandem with storyboarding, is prototyping. Develop an operational model of the copy, which will allow you to see exactly how your writing functions and hear how it sounds (please read your copy out loud). This is where you really start creating your copy. When you have finished your copy and made sure it covers everything you planned in the wireframe, you can start to freeze it, preparing it for the Web. For example, ask yourself how the headlines read, where the hyperlinks are, how the pages are split up, and how they look with the design.
The fourth and most enjoyable phase is optimizing the copy, in which you test and optimize it for improved conversion rates (more on this in a future article). I recommend saving the evolving versions of your copy so you never forget where the ideas came from.
Words are magical! Treat them haphazardly and you will be making little difference between eggs and eggplant. You will have lightning bugs instead of lightning. Are you treating your words as if they have the power to persuade, or are you limply using them to simply inform?

Improved Qubit Control with Phonons
Posted: 05:15PM
Author: Guest_Jim_*
For quantum computers to leave the laboratory, researchers will have to overcome many challenges, including some concerning how to move information through a system. Qubits are the basic unit of information in a quantum computer, and can be made of ions, photons, or electrons. As reported by Springer, researchers at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, and the Center for Computational Science and Engineering at the National University of Singapore have found a new way to transport electron qubits.
Key to the discovery was the use of phonons. Phonons are the quanta of vibrations, similar to how photons are the quanta of light. The researchers first confined electrons in what is called a Double Quantum Dot (DQD) and used a nanomechanical resonator to create phonons. These phonons then coupled with the electrons. When the researchers caused the electrons and phonons to decouple, they found it was possible to induce the electrons to tunnel from one quantum dot to the other, in the DQD. This only happened when an integer number of phonons could be created by the extra energy of the two quantum dots in the DQD. However, when the coupling was particularly strong, the researchers found the electrons were more strongly confined within the DQD. This means phonons can be used to control electron transport.
While quantum computers are still a ways off, this research will help in the design and creation of electron-based quantum computers.

Flood warnings in place across West Yorkshire
Three flood warnings remain in place in West Yorkshire after heavy rainfall.
The warnings, which mean flooding is expected, have been issued for the rivers Aire, Calder and Wharfe.
People living on the banks of the River Aire in Leeds said they were keeping a close eye on water levels.
Resident Oona McNee said: "Just over the road it's up to thigh deep, it's obviously very quick, it's quite scary."
One man said he was considering moving after his home was flooded for the second time in a year.
Roads closed
Mark Smith, from Allerton Bywater near Castleford, said his home was flooded with more than 2ft (0.6m) of water.
Mr Smith said he had just finished repairs after the property was inundated in June.
"We were just putting everything back to normal and we get hit again. We had a warning but there isn't much you can do," he said.
The cost of repairs three months ago were more than £40,000.
Mr Smith said: "It is disheartening and it is hard to look to the future in a property when we don't know how often this is going to happen."
Across England there are 77 flood warnings in place in the Midlands, North East and North West and 139 flood alerts.
Heavy downpours have resulted in homes being evacuated, disruption to train services and school closures while many roads have been closed as a result of flooding.
The Environment Agency said persistent rain combined with heavier bursts had led to rising river levels in West Yorkshire.
Yorkshire Water said it had mounted a "massive" operation working with other agencies to reduce the risk of flooding.
Matt Thompson, from the company, said: "Our key pumping stations are being closely monitored, and additional pumping capacity is in place at areas that we know are at a particularly high risk of flooding."
He added the company was contacting vulnerable customers and arranging for sandbags to be made available where appropriate.
The West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service said it had responded to a number of incidents relating to flooding.

My friends and I had wanted to try Ethiopean food for a while, and we stumbled upon E'Njoni Cafe because it had the best reviews. What a LUCKY day!
We came in just as they opened and were wonderfully greeted and sat down. Apparently on Sundays they have an ""all you can eat"" buffet, so you can sample almost everything on the menu. We couldn't turn down that kind of deal!
The food was amazing! The curry chicken and curry vegetables were my favorite. Everything smelled delicious and tasted just as good.
The owner really takes pride in his business and being environmentally, vegan, and...
There are several reasons this restaurant pulls us back on a nearly weekly basis. The owners are exceptionally nice and welcoming and the food is fantastic. My vegan friend and I often share the 5 item vegetable combination. Relatively spicy so be sure to ask for mild if you don't want a lot of heat. All the items in the combo are terrific and even better if you use the injera and mix them together. The beet stew is somewhat sweet and makes a great compliment to the other spicy items. My partner almost always orders the Shiro mis Dorho - chicken in chickpea sauce. The flavor is amazing....

Specialist international personal injury solicitors from Irwin Mitchell helped a woman after she was seriously injured whilst travelling across India.
Our client, Lesley Mae Oakley, was on a dream trip exploring India with her husband and another couple. The venture had been booked through Trailfinders Ltd who organised the hotels and travel arrangements to the various locations. The party were making their way across India by rail travel, taking in some wonderful sights and locations throughout the journey.
Train journey
Mrs Oakley and her party were two days into their 16 day journey and were travelling onboard a narrow gauge "toy train" that pulled into the station of Barog in Northern India. On this train it was customary to pull into each station for a minimum of a 10 minute comfort break. This break would end with the sound of the driver's first whistle which indicated that passengers should board before a second whistle which would sound as the train would continue its journey.
Our client and her husband left the train at Barog station, leaving the rest of their party, luggage, passports and money onboard. The train was apparently behind schedule and barely a few minutes into the stop, the train diver sounded his first whistle much earlier than expected. Passengers on the platform rushed back to the train.
The second whistle sounded as Mrs Oakley was climbing onto the top step to get into the carriage. As the train increased its speed she lost her footing, falling to the tracks. She became wedged between the train and the platform and as a result, suffered a fractured pelvis in three places as well as severe bruising to both of her hips, her back and her stomach. Our client experienced a large haematoma (blood clotting) and damage to her bladder.
Hospital treatment
For a week following the accident, Mrs Oakley was admitted to hospital in Delhi before being transported back to the UK where she had to stay in hospital for a further three weeks. Following her discharge home, our client was dependent on the care of her husband and was confined to her home for several months.
Despite undergoing pelvic surgery and making a considerable recovery within six months, Mr Oakley continued to suffer ongoing pain and discomfort in that area. In addition her left thing haematoma swelled up to the size of a melon and required draining on three separate occasions before she finally had surgery to clear the underlying cause. The operation left our client with scarring and residual pain and she required further assistance from her husband during this period.
Mrs Oakley's solicitor, Joseph Dawson, wrote to Trailfinders Ltd who, despite denying responsibility for the accident, agreed to pay her £30,000 in an out of court settlement for her injuries and expenses.
In relation to the case, Joseph said: "This was meant to be a great experience for Mrs Oakley and her husband, but instead she suffered a serious injury to her hip and pelvis.
"We are pleased that we have reached an agreement with Trailfinders Ltd and now the settlement will provide Mrs Oakley with funds so that she can continue with her recovery.
"Holiday providers should ensure that all parts of the holiday, especially those for transport and excursions, are safe for customers and also that such services are properly monitored and free from potential hazards. We hope that this case serves as a reminder to the industry that protecting guests from injury must be a top priority.
"Tour operators should ensure that service providers take appropriate precautions in order to prevent injuries such as Mrs Oakley's from happening."

Assessment Forms
Assessment Report Forms or Business Reply Envelopes Request
A form that first handlers of wheat can download and use to request additional assessment forms and/or business reply envelopes from the Colorado Wheat Administrative Committee.
Wheat Assessment Reporting Form
A form that first handlers of wheat can download and use for reporting and remitting the wheat assessment to the Colorado Wheat Administrative Committee.
For Handlers of Colorado Produced Wheat
June 1, 2016
- Wheat Subject to Assessment: All varieties of wheat grown in the 32 counties covered by the Wheat Marketing Order are subject to assessment. The counties covered by the Wheat Marketing Order include: Adams, Arapahoe, Baca, Bent, Boulder, Cheyenne, Crowley, Custer, Douglas, El Paso, Elbert, Fremont, Huerfano, Jefferson, Kiowa, Kit Carson, Larimer, Las Animas, Lincoln, Logan, Moffat, Morgan, Otero, Phillips, Prowers, Pueblo, Rio Blanco, Routt, Sedgwick, Washington, Weld, and Yuma.
- Assessment Rate: The assessment rate is two cents (.02) per bushel effective April 13, 2014, and continuing until changed by the Commissioner of Agriculture. The maximum rate of assessment is two cents per bushel.
- Responsibility for Collection: The Wheat Marketing Order states in part "assessments shall be collected from the producers by the first handler thereof." A "handler" is defined as any person engaged in the operation of selling, shipping or distributing wheat which he purchased or acquired from a producer, or which he is shipping on behalf of a producer. The Wheat Marketing Order further states "any handler within the state of Colorado who fails or neglects to collect such assessment from any producer shall be deemed guilty of a violation of this Order."
- Assessment forms: "Wheat Assessment Reporting Form(s)" are provided by the Colorado Wheat Administrative Committee (CWAC) or can be obtained from our website, www.coloradowheat.org by clicking the CWAC tab and clicking on assessment forms. These forms must be filled out completely providing all information requested. You may submit your own printout without filling out a "Wheat Assessment Reporting Form" as long as each transaction specifies the date, name of producer, address, bushels, the amount of assessment, and the signature of the handler.
- How To Remit: Completed assessment forms and payment for the total amount of assessment collected are to be mailed to the CWAC office located at 4026 South Timberline Road, Suite 100, Fort Collins, CO 80525. Make checks payable to: Colorado Wheat Administrative Committee.
- Time of Filing Remittances: Assessments are to be remitted on a monthly basis and are due by the 10th of the following month. A quarterly remittance can be arranged if necessary and must have prior approval by the CWAC. In special cases, a semi-annual or annual remittance can be arranged, but only if very small quantities of wheat are handled. The CWAC will notify handlers when its records indicate that assessment remittances from the handler are past due. Handlers must notify the CWAC if they desire a remittance schedule other than monthly. A simple form to be completed by the handler is provided for this purpose.
- Errors: "Wheat Assessment Reporting Form(s)" are tabulated to verify bushel and dollar figures. Handlers will be notified of any mistakes found. A debit or credit will be applied toward the handler's remittance account to correct the mistake.
- Assessment Receipts: Assessment receipts must be given to producers requesting them. Elevator and grain handler settlement sheets in many cases will be satisfactory to producers.
- FSA – CCC Loan Wheat: Wheat assessments are collected by the FSA when any loan (regular or reserve) is obtained by the producer from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). When wheat which was formerly under loan (regular or reserve) is marketed to a handler, the producer must submit (to the handler) documented proof that such wheat has previously satisfied wheat assessment requirements. The CWAC provides a form to the FSA for this purpose entitled "Proof of Payment of Assessment in Compliance with the Colorado Wheat Marketing Order." If documented proof is not presented, the wheat assessment is to be collected by the handler in the usual manner. You must include the original yellow copy with your assessment payment. If the original yellow copy is not provided with the assessment payment, the handler will be responsible for paying the assessment. COPIES ARE NOT ACCEPTED.
- Assessment Partially Refundable: Any producer may request and receive a refund of that portion of the assessment levied which exceeds one-half cent per bushel from the CWAC pursuant to the following attached rules and regulations established by the Commissioner of Agriculture. Handlers are not authorized to refund assessments to producers. All refunds must be made by CWAC pursuant to the rules and regulations established by the Commissioner of Agriculture.
- Inspection of Records: The Commissioner of Agriculture or his duly authorized representative (including the CWAC) are lawfully permitted to inspect books and records pertaining to the collection of the assessment.
- Further Information: Handlers having questions or desiring information regarding the wheat assessment should contact: Colorado Wheat Administrative Committee, 4026 South Timberline Road, Suite 100, Fort Collins, CO 80525, 970-449-6994, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Support Oscar's Recovery
This past Friday night, a member our Comal family was brutally assaulted while returning home after his shift at work. Oscar Castaneda has been an important member of our line cook team for the past 2 years, bringing both valued skills and a smile to the job nightly.
After exiting the Ashby BART station, and only one block away from his apartment, two armed men jumped Oscar from behind, savagely punched and kicked him, robbed him of his possessions, discharged a bullet into the back of his neck and left him for dead. Oscar didn't even know what had hit him. By a stroke of luck, the bullet lodged behind his ear while missing his spine, arteries and other vital organs. Thankfully there was a swift response from Berkeley police and paramedics that were called to the scene by concerned neighbors. Oscar received great care and after one day, has already been discharged from the hospital to begin what is expected to be a swift and complete recovery.
We often talk at lineup about the dangers that restaurant and bar workers face, leaving work late at night and alone, and the importance of having extra awareness of one's surroundings when heading home. We've since learned that there were two similar assaults committed the previous Thursday night in the area around the Ashby BART station. It appears that the same two perpetrators have been preying on pedestrians that leave the station on foot alone at night. While Oscar has been told by the Berkeley Police that they know who the criminals are, they are as of now still not in custody.
It appears that Oscar was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Any of those among us in the restaurant and bar industry that work similar hours could have found ourselves targeted under similar circumstances, and perhaps not have been so lucky. It will be difficult for Oscar to overcome the psychological trauma, but he is committed to resuming the routine of his life prior to this shocking disruption. In regards to the more mundane hurdles, we are asking the restaurant community to help us rally around Oscar. He was stripped of his knife roll, backpack, phone and the contents of his wallet including a few hundred dollars, and is now facing some daunting medical bills to add insult to injury. We have set up a Go Fund Me page in his name, with the hopes that our restaurant industry friends will recognize that "there, but for the grace of God, go they", and that they will help to lighten the burden for Oscar as he puts his life back together.

2 co-op startups in Oregon health insurance market
PORTLAND — Two startup cooperatives have joined a crowded health insurance market in Oregon, offering a consumer-run experience and hoping to draw customers who prefer smaller not-for-profits, or who support underdogs and alternative, DIY culture.
Oregon's Health Co-op and Health Republic have filed policy details and proposed rates with the state, The Oregonian reported.
In October, they will go head-to-head with about a dozen established insurers to appeal to small businesses and more than 200,000 individuals expected to buy their own insurance next year.
Both startups feature bare-bones administration, more than $50 million in interest-free federal loans, and partnerships with existing health care players. A majority of the co-op board members will be plan members who are elected by other members.
They plan to promote services such as naturopathy in the case of Oregon Health Co-op and massage in the case of Health Republic.
Member-run health plans aren't new, and some still exist, such as Group Health in Washington state.
The Affordable Care Act called for at least one co-op in every state to boost competition and bring health care costs down. But federal budget woes put a stop to the initiative after 24 received funding. Only Oregon got funds for two.
The Oregon operations have faced obstacles, such as starting from scratch without a customer base and such as actually offering lower prices.
In a comparison of the Portland individual market the state posted last week, the co-ops requested rates in the middle of the pack of the insurers — Oregon's Health CO-OP at fifth best, and Health Republican at eighth. The state has yet to approve the filings, so rates could change.
Dave Ford, the retired head of CareOregon who helped recruit a leader to Oregon's Health Co-op, said there's a need for something different. But if the new co-ops don't lead in lower premiums, their success will rely on providing special "sizzle" to lure new customers.
"If they can't meet the price with some other compelling argument," he says, "then they basically won't make it."

NEW YORK — Three Franciscan priests have to spend $2 million by Aug. 15. The task, they are finding, is not easy.
The money is intended to help establish a St. Francis residence like the two Manhattan centers the priests now run. The centers provide housing for chronic schizophrenic men and women, people who otherwise would most probably be wandering the streets, homeless.
With extra funds coming from donations, the priests say they hope to find a building with 100 to 150 rooms that they can buy and renovate for $3.1 million.
Will they be able to make the deadline? ``If God wants it, it`s going to happen,`` said one of the priests, the Rev. Thomas J. Walters.
The $2 million came in a settlement between the real-estate developer Harry Macklowe and the city, under which the city dropped a $10 million lawsuit against him. The suit alleged that his company had been responsible for the illegal nighttime demolition of a welfare hotel near Times Square last January.
The city seeks to create decent replacement housing as soon as possible, and the Franciscans were chosen because of past success in turning rundown hotels into bright and cheerful residences. If the priests cannot meet the deadline, the money will go to some other group.
One measure of inflation, and of the priests` problem in using the $2 million, is the cost of residences No. 1, No. 2 and the prospective No. 3.
``We paid $550,000 for the first one and $875,000 for the second,`` said Walters. ``Now we`re looking at prices at least double what we paid for the second one.``

Evoken – Chime The Centuries End lyrics
A majestic sight of everlasting reign
Behold the rise of December's frozen kingdom
Reddest of the skies welcome the angel of sorrow
The tower chimes the centuries end
I awaken to the eclipse of the blackest nights moon
Come forth winters orchestral winds
I am weakened by blizzards of sadness and chilling forgotten Eves

MESA, Arizona -- With his experience and contract status, Jason Hammel would seem like a prime candidate for the Cubs to trade to a contender this summer for a pitching prospect.
But Hammel says he wants no part of that.
"I'm sure you guys are going to talk about that all year," Hammel said Monday after pitching two scoreless innings against the Giants in a B game at Cubs Park. "I honestly can care less. And that's the answer you're getting me from me every time. I'm here to win ballgames, and that's it. That's my bottom line. I'm here to help the Cubs.''

The Iron Man 3 Panel at the San Diego Comic Con just might be the most anticipated panel of the weekend.
We've already seen the new Iron Man 3 armor, as well as news that the Edgar Wright Ant-Man movie might be announced with footage.
Now, not only do we get a second verification of Ant-Man — but Thor 2 as well as the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
Seems the official title for Thor 2 will be revealed as IGN is "hearing" that the title is "Thor: The Darkest World." They also state the film's first footage will be revealed as well.
Not only that, but they corroborate the previous mention of the Ant-Man movie and also state a Guardians of the Galaxy movie is forthcoming at the panel.
Stay tuned, the panel is in a few.
Thor 2 hammers into theaters November 8th, 2013 directed by Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones), starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Heimidall, Zachary Levi as Fandral and Jaimie Alexander as Sif.

Painting Laser Cut Counters:
I recently got a couple of sets of laser cut counters from Silver Compass Designs. They have a well illustrated and entertaining tutorial up on their Facebook page that shows how to paint their counters in a quick and easy way. Following their tutorial you get very cool looking counters that look like this:
But to me accessories like Laser cut counters scream out for a little extra attention.
So here is how it came to this...
I decided to go for a two tone shading style that is common in comic books. I like the feel of that for the Orks.
The first thing I saw after the counters arrived is that they has a fair amount of dust left over from the cutting process. This is completely normal and is easily cleaned up with a paper towel and an old, clean, drybrush.
The next thing to do was lay out the highlighted areas. I elected to start with Goblin Green as the highlight color and painted it on being careful to paint the side walls of the etching as well as the flat surface. This is important as the sidewall areas are visible from the front of the counter and a complete sidewall will give a much sharper look. Failing to paint the sidewalls completely will also leave pinholes in the color that is highly visible.
Then I did the coat of Snot Green to the remaining area of the face.
At this point the Skull and crossbones might seem complete but they are not.
Since you end up applying a backing that is dark this might not matter but I decided to do a second coat to clean it up and even things out.
I chose Tausept Ochre as the shade color and Sunburst Yellow as the primary.
I started by painting a line across the lettering with the Tausept Ochre. After getting the line established I checked the front to make sure I had good fill and decent lines.
Once that was done the Sunburst Yellow got liberally applied to the remaining areas of the lettering making certain that the sidewalls were well coated and that there were no pinholes.
There had been a few pinholes in the Tausept Ochre that escaped my notice so the second coat would end up being done in that color to clean things up.
The Second coat of Tausept Ochre marked the end of the painting part. There still remained the felting which has a few quirks.
The first one is that the felt shapes are also laser cut which means that the layer that needs to be peeled off does not have a pronounced grab area making it possible to accidentally peel the entire adhesive area off by mistake! I encountered this while doing the 1 shot counters so was ready for it on these.
Above you can see where I accidentally peeled of the entire adhesive and below is a good peel showing the adhesive area still attached to the felt.
Pete commented on this felt peel with a great tip!
"The felt backs, I've found it's easiest to get off the wax paper by lightly scoring the paper with a blade so you just barely cut through the paper but not the adhesive, then you can bend the entire piece along the score and then easily pop off the paper." ~ Pete B. Silver Compass Designs.
After this all that remains is the removal of the top protective layer. I was not initially certain that this existed because the laser cut makes the edges non existent but I could see that the surface was filmy looking and then notices a peice where the film had been damaged which confirmed it.
The Final Peel!
Before and after the final peel.
And the complete set of Wrekk'd counters.

Halloween is less than two weeks away and zombies can be found all over Iowa.
KWWL reports several events in eastern Iowa had people getting out their fake blood and dressing like the dead. The zombie crazy and the love of the undead has spread all over Iowa and across the U.S.
From the zombie apocalypse to zombie walks, zombie runs and more, even kids have zombie fever.
"The Walking Dead stuff has gotten very popular. The zombie culture and all of that has gotten very big over the last few years," said volunteer Justin Michael.
"It's just that eerie thing that people always think about, like what if there was a zombie apocalypse and maybe this is like a training day for the onset," Michael said.
And while some may be training for the zombie apocalypse, the ones at the fundraisers are safe.
The zombies at the fundraiser in Cedar Falls said they dressed up because it's fun and it's for charity.

ALBANY, N.Y. >> After 35 years at the helm of the Freihofer's Run for Women, George Regan announced Wednesday he is stepping down as director of the annual event and into an advisory role.
Regan has directed the Freihofer's Run since 1982 and helped develop the event from its small start in 1979 as the National Amateur Athletic Union's 10K Road Race Championship into one of the nation's largest all-female races. He will, however, continue as director of the annual Troy Turkey Trot, as well as the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon and Half-Marathon, according to a news release.
"With the 40th anniversary just around the corner, now is an ideal time to pass the torch to new leadership," said Regan, a Troy native who has overseen 22 national road racing championships at the 5K and 10K distances and, in 2005, helped the Freihofer's Run for Women open its doors to the world by hosting elite international athletes.
Assistant Event Director Patrick Lynskey, Freihofer's Training Challenge Coach Kristen Hislop and Tim Shepard, an account executive with the baking company, will direct the 39th edition of the race on Saturday, June 3, as well as its companion activities: the Freihofer's Health & Fitness Expo, Freihofer's Kids' Run, Freihofer's Junior 3K and Charitable Partners Program.
"These individuals are highly competent and have the background to take this event to the next level," said Regan. "I'm excited because as the Freihofer's Run for Women prepares for its 40th anniversary, we can now have even greater community impact."
Lynskey, who has been involved with the run since 2003, has more than 20 years of event management experience, and, since 2009, has managed all logistical operations for the Freihofer's Run for Women, including overseeing all area directors, volunteer recruitment, vendors, partnerships with city and state agencies, managing the Health & Fitness Expo and serving as a coach in the popular Freihofer's Training Challenge.
Hislop is in her seventh year as coach of the 10-week Training Challenge, offering advice on running form, talks about injury prevention, guidance on cross training and a push, when needed, to inspire athletes to achieve their goals. She will work on event sponsorship and the Health & Fitness Expo, as well as handling many of the event's media interviews.
Shepard has worked for the baking company for more than two decades and overseen various aspects of the event's logistics since 2009. A road race director and recreational runner, his role will be to further integrate and represent the baking company at the event.
From 1982-2016, Regan served as referee for six Olympic marathon trials, while also chairing the championships sub-committee for men's and women's long distance running for the IAAF. Locally, he also served as the president and chairman of the road race management committee for the USA Track & Field Adirondack Association.
Regan has been honored on numerous occasions for his service to the sport of running and the community, receiving the President's Award from The Athletics Congress/USA in 1987, the USA Women's Long Distance Running Committee's Service Award in 1990, USA Men's Long Distance Running's Scott Hamilton Award in 1995, the Race Director of the Year Award from Road Race Management in 1995, the Hospitality Excellence Award from the Albany County Convention and Visitors Bureau in 1998 and Hudson Valley Community College's Most Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1999.
"Road-running event production has been my career's work and has given me so much pleasure," said Regan. "I look forward to working with the new team this year and providing any expertise they may need to ensure the event runs as smoothly as possible."

Present: Shri Mohit Mahinia Complainant in person
Opposite party ex-parte
Jaspal Singh Bhatia (President)
1. The complainant has filed the present complaint under Section 12 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 against the opposite party on the averments that the opposite party is carrying on business for the sale of Mobile Phone and many other products through ON LINE in the name & style of "timtara" throughout India including Jalandhar under website: www.timtara.com On 27-6-2012 the complainant deposited with opposite party the sum of Rs.7499/- for the purchase of a HTC Explorer A3 1 Oe Mobile Phone and this amount was debited from complainant's cousin Account (Dr. Navjot Kumar S/o Dalip Chand, 14 New Harbans Nagar, St.No.1, Jalandhr) through State Bank of India, Harbans Nagar, Jalandhar on 27.6.2012. The opposite party received the above payment vide order No. 10279184 on 29.6.2012 and assured the complainant to deliver the said product within 10 to 15 days from the receipt of payment Now more than 50 days have passed but the opposite party has not delivered the said product. Several requests and several telephonic talks have been made to opposite party but the opposite party has not given any satisfactory response nor delivered the mobile phone. However, the opposite party gave a reply of a request No.41826 vide their letter dated 15 July 2012 that a representative will follow-up with complainant as soon as possible. After reply of above letter of opposite party, neither any representative nor any Courier man approached the complainant to deliver the said product. On such like averments, the complainant has prayed for directing the opposite party to deliver the mobile phone or in the alternative to return its full cost of Rs.7499/- with interest. He has also demanded compensation and litigation expenses.
2. Upon notice, opposite party failed to appear despite service and was proceeded against ex-parte
3. In ex-parte evidence, the complainant has tendered in to evidence his own affidavit as Ex.CA along with copies of documents Ex.C1 to Ex.C4 and closed his evidence.
4. We have carefully gone through the record and have also heard learned counsel for the complainant.
5. The complainant deposited Rs.7499/- with opposite party on 27.06.2012 online for the purpose of purchasing mobile phone. Ex.C2 is copy of statement of account. The amount was sent by the complainant through the bank account of his cousin Dr. Navjot Kumar. Ex.C3 and Ex.C3/A are copies of letters/emails dated 29.06.2012 sent by the opposite party to the complainant confirming the placing of order. It is in affidavit Ex.CA of the complainant that opposite party assured him to deliver the said product within 10 to 15 days from the receipt of payment vide Ex.C3 and Ex.C3/A and now more than 50 days have passed, but the opposite party has not delivered the said product. At the time of argument, counsel for the complainant stated at bar that the mobile was sent by the opposite party through courier during the pendency of the complaint, but the same was not received by complainant as he has already filed this complaint. The opposite party has not come present to contest the claim of the complainant. Non-sending of mobile after receiving the payment in advance within stipulated and promised period constitute deficiency in service.
6. In view of above discussion, the complaint is accepted and opposite party is directed to refund Rs.7499/- to the complainant along with Rs.2000/- in lump sum on account of compensation and litigation expenses within 15 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order, failing which, it shall be liable to pay interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the date of order till payment.
