There are familiar types of creativity, to be sure. But it's not always about being artful. Or expressive. It's not about being born with certain gifts, or validated by others. Rather, creativity is the ability to transcend existing ideas, rules, patterns, or relationships, and to bring about something new and meaningful.
Industry West is about supporting and mobilizing people who strive to be creative, whether it's at work or at home. The whole world needs to achieve its creative potential. So we are the tipping point. We will push creativity into the mainstream where it belongs.
That's what keeps the fire in our belly at Industry West. The non-stop thrill of being creative, sharing creative, and supporting creativity in others. It's why we like to gorge on new ideas. Why we have wanderlust, and friends all over the world. Why we're willing to bet big on rising talent. And why our furniture feels strong enough to withstand the nonstop activity associated with creative people, doing creative things in big, creative ways.
Marriott approached Industry West to manufacture customized seating for a new flagship hotel in Downtown Portland Oregon. Marriott required a custom matched Pantone color and and seat cushion for 700 Bar stools for it individual Rooms. Working with a team of architects and interior designers we were able to meet all delivery timelines to ensure the seating was ready for their successful launch of this property.
What's better than pizza at the beach? Mellow Mushroom Wrightsville Beach requested some easy breezy stools and chairs to give the casual restaurant a laid-back vibe. Our Marais style fit their aesthetic perfectly, and we were able to meet their schedule and requested quantity on time.
Project Pie
Our Freshman Chairs and Montclair Bar Stools hit the spot at this tasty pizza destination. Featuring artisan build-your-own pies, Project Pie started out as a simple quest for custom pizza at a fair price, and quickly grew to an international franchise with 15 locations (and growing!).All photo credit to Jonathan Zizzo
M Shack
We were more than happy to oblige when MShack restaurant, a local favorite here in Jacksonville, ordered chairs for their hometown location. Tasty old fashioned burgers just taste better when you're sitting in a solid seat.

Don't panic, but this wine rack makes the bottles disappear
If you think you're doing a good job of making wine bottles disappear by drinking the contents and then slinging the empties into the recycling bin, check out what Tony Potter can do.
More: Which wineglass will make your wine taste better?
The illusionist has 20 years experience in making people question their perceptions of reality, and one of his recent projects is a wooden wine rack that makes the bottles vanish.
In the manner of all good disappearing acts, they do appear again, completely unscathed.
We can't figure out how the Pinetti wine rack works, but it would definitely be an excellent talking point at parties.
Before he turned his hand to creating magical wine racks, Potter spent years as a circus clown and stage illusion designer. All his pieces (he also makes a salt and pepper grinder that appears to "shrink and grow before your eyes" and a trivet whose "stripes appear straight or askew depending on their position") are handcrafted in his workshop in Virginia's Appalachian Mountains.
"I love inventing ways to smuggle illusions into everyday things, imbuing ordinary life with a little magic," says Potter.
The Pinetti wine rack, handmade in Virginia wine country from red oak, holds 12 bottles of wine (6 of them hidden) and retails for $295; international shipping available.
Can you work out the secret to this illusion? Let us know in the comments below.

Document Type
Cultural Aspects of Criminal Responsibility, 43 Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology 323 (1952)
The classical theory of jurisprudence that criminal responsibility is a matter of knowing right from wrong had its origin in a simpler society in which it was possible for an individual to be, in the words of Tarde, "identical with his culture." Cultures were relatively consistent in their values, and the monolithic pressures of relatively uniform culture values concealed the fact to the philosopher that human behavior was no rational outcome of the awareness of right and wrong conduct, but a product of an equilibrium between the individual and his society, in which the struggle for individual and group survival determined means to ends.

Reading boss Brian McDermott is convinced Arsenal will finish in the top four.
McDermott's relegation-threatened Reading take on the Gunners tonight with both clubs going through unrest.
He said: "Arsenal are a massive club and well run financially, a terrific institution. I can't see it as them being in crisis.
"They generally come good at the back end of the season.
However many years since Arsene has been there, they have made the Champions League. I have always kept a lose eye on how Arsenal are doing because I was there eight years and they taught me a lot.

The requested news item does not exist. Please return to News
BRISBANE, 2 September 2013 – Jones Lang LaSalle's Mike Walsh and Sam Byrne have finalised a $3.2 million dollar sale in Springfield, with the deal settling last Friday.
The property comprises a freestanding medical / office centre at 29 Commercial Drive in the master-planned Springfield community some 30km south west of the Brisbane CBD.
It is currently occupied by Allied Medical Group Holdings (a fully owned subsidiary of the ASX listed Sonic Healthcare) and the Ipswich City Council, occupying areas of 485sqm and 105sqm respectively. The centre offers car parking for 22 vehicles including an ambulance bay and a permit for 5 doctors with operating hours of 6:30am to 6:30pm Monday to Friday.
The Site Area of the property featured 1,967sqm, with an NLA of 590sqm. Current Annual Rental generating $243,101.30pa plus GST with 100% of outgoings paid by the Lessee.
The property was sold on behalf of a Melbourne based private investor to a local Brisbane investor.
Accordingly to Jones Lang LaSalle's Mike Walsh, the sale price reflected the rarity of offer and the level of demand for such quality stock.
"Greater Springfield is ranked as the third fastest growing Statistical Local Area (SLA) in Australia with an average population growth of 6.6% p.a." he said.
"Rarely is the opportunity to secure an asset with strong fundamental investment characteristics underpinned by a 5 year+ WALE to two high calibre tenants in an established yet fast growing location offered to market."
"The sale yielded an excellent result, and typified the strength of the market for investment opportunities in this price bracket, which are underpinned by a long term WALE and secure lease covenants," he said.
Mr Walsh said he and his colleague received over 40 inquiries and seven Expressions of Interest before the deal finalised on prompt contract terms.
He said private investors were most prevalent in the sub-$5million market.
"The sub-$5million market is dominated by private investors, , and this market continues to gain momentum as we are witnessing increased activity and demand levels which augers well for the balance of the year and into 2014."

Search by PTA Job Type
PTA Job Description
Physical therapy assistants conduct their services under the guidance and direction of a certified physical therapist. PTs rely greatly on their Physical therapist assistants, so it is important that a Physical therapy assistant can offer patients a comprehensive plan of physical therapy techniques. Physical therapy assistants apply lots of physical therapy methods when looking after people. Several techniques include physical modalities, deep tissue massage, exercise therapy such as for instance ultrasound and electro-therapy as well as functional exercises.
Additionally Physical therapy assistants usually assist their patients to prevent losing mobility by creating wellness and physical fitness workouts to ensure more active lifestyles. Whenever a Physical therapy assistant sees a patient initially, the PTA helps the PT study the individual and develop a therapy plan promoting restored functionality, the ability to move, avoiding impairment and pain reduction. Then, as a team, the PT, PTA, and individual all work together to ensure the objective of the health program is attained, measuring patient progression, reaction, and safety even while making adjustments as needed.

French handbag company, Longchamp, is coming up on it's 60th Anniversary and to celebrate the occasion it's teamed up with Belgian artist Jean-Luc Moerman to produce a limited collection designed by the artist. The large tote is based on a bag design from the 1970s archive and no two bags will be the same since they are hand silk screened – the uniqueness is reflected in the price tag – a hefty $6,500. If you can't afford the originals, a set of reproduction bags will be available for sale. An installation of the bags can be viewed at the Anniversary Party on July 2nd in Paris at the L'Elysée Montmartre in Paris where The Kills are performing. Longchamp is hosting a celebration state-side at its NY flagship in conjunction with Deitch Projects on Bastille Day, July 14th. I'm a big fan of Longchamp and one of my favorite bags is one of their leather tote bags from 2006. Their style is timeless and classic and makes a welcome addition to any bag collection. Happy 60th! Very excited to see what's more to come!

Investcorp acquires office properties in Greater Houston and Chicago valued at $120 million
Jan 09, 2013, 09:00 EST
NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Investcorp, a leading global provider and manager of alternative investment products, today announced two portfolio acquisitions comprised of 16 high-quality office properties in the Greater Houston and Chicago metropolitan areas. The combined 900,000 square foot portfolio is valued at approximately $120 million.
The two acquisitions include 11 properties at the Oak Creek Center located in suburban Chicago's East-West corridor in Lombard, Illinois, and five properties known as Pin Oak Park in Houston's West Loop (Bellaire submarket), less than four miles from the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world. The properties, with a combined occupancy rate of approximately 90 percent, are leased to a diverse roster of tenants, many of whom are involved in the healthcare industry.
These transactions are consistent with Investcorp's investment approach of seeking out high quality, stable, cash flowing assets at attractive valuations, and in close proximity to major economic centers. Bellaire and Lombard are both high-income, densely populated areas, with limited new real estate supply or development – typical characteristics of the geographic areas in which Investcorp focuses its investments.
Herb Myers, Managing Director at Investcorp said: "We continue to focus on high quality assets in major metropolitan areas that benefit from macroeconomic demand drivers, such as healthcare, and can generate cash yields. We selected these two portfolios, in part, as a result of an existing tenant base affiliated with the growing healthcare industry. If appropriate, we may seek additional healthcare tenants for these properties."
Investcorp joined forces with two reputable operating partners for these transactions. In the case of Oak Creek Center, Investcorp partnered with Chicago-based Golub and Company, with whom they have entered into previous transactions. For Pin Oak Park, Investcorp teamed up with Houston-based Griffin Partners.
In 2012, among other transactions, Investcorp acquired three office properties in Raleigh, North Carolina and one office property in Dallas, Texas. Tenants in those properties include the National Institute of Health, in Raleigh and Oracle Corporation, in Dallas. Investcorp has also been active in the multi-family real estate market in the major Texas metropolitan areas of Austin, Dallas, and Houston, having acquired nine multi-family properties in these cities over the last 12 months.

After I got married, I had this vision of family life - a little girl and then a little boy. But then I had my daughter, and could not envisage having another child. I had endured horrible all-day sickness during my pregnancy, and then had a c-section. I didn't want to go through that again. And we were happy. Our family of three was perfect. I loved my daughter so much, and I couldn't imagine loving another child as much. 'But your vision', Husband said. 'What about that boy?'
There were many reasons, but really, I was scared of having a son. Now, I didn't actually know I would have a boy. But I felt fairly confident. I had been certain I would have a girl first, and I did. And for some reason, I felt quite sure I would have a boy next. And I was terrified. I was afraid of cleaning little boy genitals. I was frightened of having one of those crazy out-of-control boys that one sees terrorising playgrounds. And I was worried that I could not love a naughty son as much as my angelic daughter.

Great Sounds Great; Bad Sounds Bad is a column which sees a panel of writers for The Corner review a range of local singles and grade them out of 10. Check out the song below, read through their opinions and let us know in the comments section your own thoughts and what you'd like to see reviewed next time around.
[Grade: 8.8]
Chloe Cairncross: Wow…This track just made my night. I have not had this much aural loving since the last time I was wooed at a party (which was a very long time ago). Slow and seductive, Mockasin takes his time; even then, he still leaves us lusting for more. Judging by the comments on SoundCloud, this track will be frequently compared to Ween which is no bad thing. The vocal production and trancy beat warrant this comparison. However, Mockasin should be taken seriously, unlike Ween's propensity for humour. And when I say "taken seriously", I mean take it on a beach in a heat-wave, with one arm around a beautiful, virile person and the other hand waving joss sticks. This NEEDS to be a part of your summer playlist. [10]
Hayden Currie: Woah, this is weirdly good. I mean good an' weird. And good. Lush, gauzy, backwards looking Prince-gaze or something. And that soft-porn Eurotrash shot of the blonde guy, I assume Connan, with the little John Waters 'stache, is perfect too. But it'd be nothing without this music, a nightmarish loop of lilting late-70s lounge-psych which make me feel as though I'm stuck in a scene from Boogie Nights. I admit that up 'til now I hated Connan based on nothing more than his name (one too many D's, and Mockasin sounds like a sickeningly twee reference to his adorable spirit animal or something), and whatever off-key image I had of his music from the words and visuals representing him in print. This was wrong I guess, and I blame it on an overworked brain, now more than ever attacked by an endless array of colourful media crap all clanging and clawing for attention, requiring an arbitrary ad hoc judgement system to avoid lying awake at night in a state of terminal curiosity. Whatever this is though, I like it. [10]
Elizabeth Beattie: This song has a great funky base reminiscent of a cheesy 70s disco love track. The funky percussion and keyboard which introduce the song sound almost traditional, but this is wonderfully contrasted with Connan's creepy vocal style. This song is brilliant, slinky, sexy and Willy Wonka weird. I love the repetitive vocals which sound like a sample played underwater at double speed. But this song is not just weird for the sake of weird, there's also a really strong melodic structure underneath which makes this track addictive and makes me want to hit the repeat button. [10]
Ben Tuimaseve: Shakazulu! I was not expecting that….the groove is tasty but at the same time feels dirty (or dirtaay), like something Prince would jizz over. It's bugging me because I can't think the name of the song it reminds me of! But it's reminiscent of the old school 'music on drugs' era, which makes me picture people tripping out on free love. I don't agree on the vocal effects – its a bit too much for me – but the focus here is what's behind that. It's a pretty damn good song and it's not trying to imitate a particular sound but to be reminiscent and take you back. [8]
Robyn Gallagher: This reminds me a lot of early '90s Ween, back when they were doing that Prince-on-nitrous thing. It's an ultra laidback track that takes some seductive soul basics and slows it all down to a stoner tempo. Because it's a bit weird, it's never going to work as an outright seduction track. Maybe date night for an alt married couple. BTW, I'm intrigued by the comma in the title. It suggests the line means "I'm the man" (if you insist, Connan) and then, ominously, "That will find you". [6]
Vincent Michaelsen: Sexy stuff! I think this is awesome, it shows how far Connan's music has developed since his 'Sneaky Sneaky Dog Friend' days while still retaining its quirkiness. Though, if anything, I'd like to hear this a little less vibey, a tiny bit less wishy washy. [9]
Michael Kerby: You return to your hotel room. It was a good night — it's late, and you're tired. You get ready for bed, and peel back the covers just as there's a knock at the door — followed by what sounds like a child singing a slow jam.
You open the door to find a heavy-lidded Connan Mockasin swaying queasily in the hallway. His loose white shirt hangs open, his hair slick with sweat.
"…mmm, I'm the man that will find you…"
He stumbles a bit, pops the finger guns, and invites himself in. [8]
Oli Lewis: I really don't know what to say about 'I'm the Man, That Will Find You'. I was going to start with a jape about how Tommy Wiseau should remake The Room, replacing the cliché sex jams that make up the soundtrack, with the infinitely sexier, stranger sound that is Connan Mockasin. But that would be a disservice.
On first listen I was bemused. The strange vocal inflection that introduces the song is curious enough, what follows however is a masterclass in intrigue. A phased guitar licks floats gently over pillows of hushed vocals, creating a peculiar softness that sits easily atop the incredibly funky bass-line. And then Mockasin starts singing…
The only reference point I have to describe his voice is something I can only imagine: an opiated Michael Jackson. High pitched, ethereal and disturbingly childlike the chorus of 'I'm the Man, That Will Find You' is the most addictive thing I've heard in a long time. Gimme Caramel! [8]
Marc Swadel: Connan is outside musical fashion spins and oscillates in his own world. This track is Prince circa 1978 run through a David Lynch film filter. It is like being in a room where the oxygen is being replaced by Nitrous Oxide and you're slowly hallucinating and reality is unravelling at the fringes. I was gutted to miss him playing in Shoredtich recently, and on the basis of this new track.. extra damnation for missing his gig! This is the sound of someone doing what he wants, and not what the label or anyone else says – which is most probably why he is signed to a french label. Connan if you read this – lets go and make a tour documentary film in Japan to just take the whole freaking thing to another level! [9]
Stephanie Fawcett: Title + vaguely 70s-esque pin up cover + sounding oddly like Barry Gibb = the soundtrack to a TV murder. Specifically one on Cold Case.
That's not to say I don't like it. In fact, I could listen to it over and over, but it gives me the creeping dread and the anguished screaming from about four minutes on is particularly unnerving. I imagine this is when the frenzied stabbing takes place. [9]
George Johnston: Connan is already one of my favorite guitarists from New Zealand so I'm probably a bit biased, but I don't give a shit because this is great. I'm thoroughly enjoying that my kiwi guitar idols (see also: Ruban Nielson of UMO) are making this move into left wing porno groove soul music, and this whole song moves thick and sweet just like the name of the album it's on. Matched with his usual childlike vocals, it makes for an interesting union of things that don't sound like they should go together on paper but do. And just when you think it's wrapped up, he slams you with a couple more refrains for good measure. I don't know if there's a single thing that could make this song better. [10]

like the title says, anyone know the best screen capturing software? I've used a bunch of free ones in the past and either limited to 640 and or MPEG. I'm looking for something to has a wide range of options (free or not).
I use MSI afterburner you can easily overclock gpu and also no lag while recording also low file size!

I've been using virtualdub lately, h264vfw as the codec, uses 15% processor for 960x720, 18-19 for 1280x720 @30fps and 24 cfr main profile. Had a lot of borked mp4s that would play but would not reencode, stream or remux. Vdub wouldn't cap the sound from the desktop but it muxed with the original sound without timing issues. Nvidia had bundled sw but it was low res and crappy quality, the plus side was near zero processor load.

I'm no fan of President Obama's clumsy attempts to play media critic.
The Obama administration's wrangling with Fox News last year was as wrongheaded as it was counterproductive. A smart president does not dismiss an entire national network, even if it is biased. Indeed, as I argued at the time, leaders are supposed to stir it up with their critics — not refuse to accept interview invitations.
Obama is not always wrong when he talks about Fox personalities, however.
Asked the other day by CBS News' Harry Smith about talk-radio and talk-TV assaults on him during the health-care reform debate, the president termed Glenn Beck's on-air ranting "troublesome."
To the extent that "troublesome" is a synonym for "bizarre," it is hard to argue with the assessment of the man who has spent the weeks leading up to Easter attempting to rebrand Christianity as a rich-man's religion.
Christians will, in the spirit of the season, forgive Glenn Beck's war on Easter — or, to be more precise, on the basic tenets of the religion that, with Easter, celebrates the foundation of its faith — just as, I'm sure, Fox's Bill O'Reilly must forgive everyone he accuses each year of waging a war on Christmas.
After all, when someone is as wrong as Beck, it is cruel to pick on them. And, make no mistake, Beck is wrong about the social gospel preached by the Nazarene whose followers celebrate his resurrection on Easter.
In the weeks leading up to the central religious feast in the Christian liturgical year, Beck has used his Fox News platform to call on Christians to leave their churches if they hear mention of the phrase "social justice," which he suggests is a code phrase for socialism — or worse.
"I beg you look for the words social justice or economic justice on your church Web site," shouts Beck. "If you find it, run as fast as you can."
"Everything we see pushed down the throats of the American people right now–TARP, the stimulus, health care, immigration reform, bailouts, cap-and-trade–they all have one thing in common: Their PR campaigns contain two words: 'social justice,'" claims Beck.
Beck is bugged that priests and pastors have been suggesting that a child raised by a carpenter from Galilee might have sided with the poor, or that a child born in a manger because there was no room at the inn might have nurtured some concern for strangers in a strange land.

Earlier this year, the world's largest solar powered plant was opened in the desert of Riverside County, California. The power plant has an output capacity of 550 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 160,000 homes. This is in line with California's vision to source 33% of all electricity from renewable energy sources by 2020.
Construction of the project was made possible by $1.5 billion in federal loan guarantees. The U.S. Department of Energy, which acted on behalf of the government in this deal, say they expect the project to make between $5 billion and $6 billion in profits.
Benefits of the Project
The project is estimated to displace almost 300,000 metric tons of CO2 gas every year. It is a positive step towards the state's goal of sourcing 33% of all power from renewable sources. It is important to note how the renewable sector is creating jobs among Americans. For example, throughout construction of the Solar farm, 440 construction workers were hired at different levels. It also enlisted the services of 40 businesses in California thus providing a much needed boost to the local economy.
It should be noted that the future of renewable energy is optimistic. This is because it is perceived as a sustainable option to the public. In connection to this, the benefits of using solar energy will continue to shape the United States, and California will be a perfect example for renewable energy efforts.
How It Works
The project makes use of photovoltaic solar panels to produce electricity. It is situated on 4,000 acres of federally owned land. First Solar Development Inc. (First Solar) operates the plant. It was dubbed the Desert Solar Sunlight Farm (DSSF). It consists of three main parts that are the solar Farm site, a transmission line and a substation owned and operated by an Edison in Southern California ; the Red Bluff Substation.The United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has so far approved 52 large-scale renewable energy projects since 2009. Of these, 29 are solar plants. The project's first module was installed in the year 2011. It now boasts of 8.1 million panels, which work in unison to generate up to 550 megawatts of power.
This technology utilizes solar radiation and converts into electric energy. It is slightly different form other solar technologies currently running in the deserts of California called thermal solar power plants. They use giant mirrors controlled by a supercomputer to direct the sun's thermal energy for electricity generation.
California, which is also the world's seventh largest economy, is leading in the use of renewable energy. In connection to this, there is all the likelihood that it will continue assuming a leading position in renewable energy at least in the near future. Currently, the three largest solar plants in the world are already located in the deserts of California. This has earned has earned the state many accolades from renewable energy advocates. The state legislative arm is expected to ratify of the governor's vision of powering the state using 50% renewable energy. These are quite exciting times for the state of California in the renewable energy and a small step towards ridding the world of greenhouse gas emissions from hydrocarbon-based fuels.

Got this phone from Globe Philippines. Nice phone everything is cool except for the android, it keeps popping up application from time to time even if your wi-fi is connected or not. May this is the reason why the battery drains so fast and last for 1 day only, it keeps running unwanted apps. I see the reason why nokia didnt jump to android, apps are annoying with no dedicated close command.

PhysicsWeb - Single-electron transistor goes mechanical
Physicists in Germany and the US have built a single-electron transistor that operates using a nanometre-scale vibrating arm.
The device was built using a simple two-step process and does not need a surrounding cooled to cryogenic temperatures like previous devices of its kind. It could have a wide variety of practical applications and could also be used to study fundamental physics.
The transistor is a type of device known as a nanoelectromechanical system, or NEM. Unlike conventional electronic devices, NEMs can be potentially routinely manufactured to high tolerances on the scale of nanometres (10-9m), an important attribute in the quest to build ever smaller logic devices. Moreover, NEM devices can operate at and beyond radio frequencies making them ideal for applications in information technology.
The transistor, built by Dominik Scheible at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich and Robert Blick at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, features a silicon arm about 200 nanometres long and only tens of nanometres across. The researchers covered the tip of the device with a gold "island" and then placed the tip between two electrodes, known as the source and drain. By applying an ac voltage to one of the electrodes with a frequency that matched the resonant frequency of the arm -- in this case between 350 and 400 megahertz -- they were able to make the arm vibrate between the electrodes. This resulted in a flow of electrons from the source to the island, from where the electrons then tunnelled towards the drain electrode.
The scientists say the device could have greater practical application than previous NEM transistors, which needed to be excited using high magnetic fields rather than an ac voltage. These fields were produced by superconductors that were kept very cold using liquid helium. In fundamental physics, the device could be used to study the mechanically-controlled transport of single electrons, and so potentially improve our understanding of how materials behave on the nanoscale.

Meadowlands: Saturday 12/29 Analysis
Race 1 - $16,769 Carryover into Pick Five Pool
Race 3 - $25,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Race 7 - $75,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Best Bet: HILLBILLY HANOVER (6th) Spot Play: SHAWS CREEK BUFF (11th)
Race 1
(4) MCTUREESQUE got caught in a fast mile last week but his prior work is fine. This is certainly not the sharpest field and I can see him pulling off the upset. (1) RELENTLESS DREAMER qualified back okay. He should find some speed from the cones and did set his lifetime mark here this year. (2) TROTTOWN KING raced well last time and gets an interesting driver change this week.
Race 2
(3) MYSTIC DESIRE perked up on the class drop and just sprinted a mile over at Freehold to prepare for this race. (2) SOUTHERN SPORT dug in nicely against the tough Special T Rocks in that qualifier. Harmon trainee usually does well here. (7) MIGHTY JOE YOUNG gets a bit of class relief and has done well here in the past.
Race 3
(7) THE GREEN KNIGHT was sharp in his qualifier and raced well in his one big track start this year. (4) DOOMSDAY HANOVER has been consistent at Plainridge; this is tougher. (6) FRESH DREAM comes out of the same qualifier as the top choice and raced okay that morning. It looks like this guy has been in against better recently.
Race 4
(7) NORTHERN BREAKOUT jumped it off it his first start for Ron Burke. I'll give him a second chance in hopes of a better price. (10) SOCIAL NETWORK raced well in his first start since August. This guy has always had talent and perhaps he is finally ready to realize his potential. (3) GAELIC THUNDER has shown the ability to pop a big mile at any time.
Race 5
(9) R CAAN wasn't going anywhere from post eight at Yonkers last time. This guy has the early speed needed to get into the action and should be right there at the wire. (10) VARSITY HANOVER is another with early zip from an outside post. I can see him showing a bit more with the driver change tonight. (1) ROYAL MEETING displayed his talent in November with some big miles at Yonkers. I wouldn't be comfortable tossing him.
Race 6
(8) HILLBILLY HANOVER blitzed lesser last time and should have no problem with the class rise. Since entering the Burke barn he has been a different horse. (7) RIVER SHARK comes here in fine form and has always racing well at the Meadowlands. (6) WESTERN SHORE posted the fastest qualifying time of the morning last week. This classy guy is very capable if feeling right.
Race 7
(4) GEORGETOWN N swept the field at Yonkers two starts back and that is not easy to do. He posted an even mile last week with no real shot. The big track should suit him. (5) ELECTROFIRE has been racing pretty well and moves into a top barn; does well here. (2) FOUR STARZ TRACE has picked up his game lately.
Race 8
(7) RESCUE PLAN has been moving down the class ladder at Philly. He would be eligible to a cheaper condition under money earnings but looks like a fit in here regardless. (5) TREND SPOTTER comes out of a similar race as the top choice; must use. (8) MR DENNIS has reeled off some big miles at Philly and is hard to completely ignore.
Race 9
(4) A SWEET RIDE was aimed high after the claim and now finds a more reasonable spot. Don't toss him too quickly just because he was dull from post eight. (6) MORTAL ZIN has done his best work when he gets away from some of the top 3-year-olds. (10) GRAMS LEGACY found himself before that weak uncovered effort last time; capable.
Race 10
(8) DINNER GUEST comes in sharp and actually seems to be facing slightly easier; good combo. (3) SONIC RAIDER has been racing well for some time now; use. (4) ETHAN HANOVER comes off a sharp score. (9) FAT MANS ALLEY has been closing at Yonkers. The bigger track could help.
Race 11
(3) SHAWS CREEK BUFF qualified back nicely. It seems like he has been facing tougher up north. This field is full of question marks. (9) BROOKSTONE scored at first asking for Burke. (5) TOUGH LOVE exits the claiming ranks where the competition was likely sharper.
Race 12
(3) PRESTISSIMO showed some signs of life last time. (2) TRADE EDITOR double-drops and hails from a top barn. (7) GENERAL MONTGOMERY is another veteran who got moving in the right direction last time.
Race 13
(4) GIDDY UP DELIGHT drops down upon arrival and sports a strong 10-2-2-1 record here in 2012. (8) SCOTTY MACH N comes off a win and lures Tetrick away from (3) MAR DREAM, who is trained by a strong barn that usually gets his services. (11) AROCKIN HANOVER is sharp.

A virtual treat to my mom
Now to give you the authentic traditional Omani recipes, we have spent so many hours discussing and gathering information from our Omani friends, internet sources, etc. Surprisingly everyone gives us a different recipe for the same dish.
Here is what we thought would be the most authentic recipe for making halwa Omania. Who wants to be its first taste-tester? We are getting some more inputs from our dear and near ones and may make minor changes here and there. So, if you are interested in this recipe, please bookmark this page for updates. We will also post the recipe for Kahwa separately.
Halwa Omania Recipe
Water – 1 L
White sugar – 1 cup
Brown sugar – ½ cup
Wheat starch – 1 cup
Ghee – ½ cup
Rose water – ½ teaspoon
Saffron – a pinch
Cardomom powder – ½ teaspoon
Almonds – 1 tablespoon, broken into quarters
Cashewnuts – 1 tablespoon, broken into quarters
Nutmeg powder – 1 teaspoon
Method: Boil the water in a vessel and add the brown sugar. Stir well until the brown sugar is completely dissolved. Add the sugar and stir well again until it is completely dissolved. Put on low heat, add the wheat starch, and stir the mixture continually for about 2 hours (lots of hard work involved). Add the ghee when the mixture is semi-thick, sprinkle a little water sparingly, and keep stirring it continously now until the mixture holds together. Add the saffron, rose water, almonds, cashewnuts, and nutmeg. Keep on stirring until the mixture is thick. Remove from heat and pour into 2-inch deep containers. Garnish with some nuts and allow it cool. Serve it to your guests with a cup of coffee or Kahwa (Omani black coffee). Enjoy!

The Canberra Region Presbytery is supporting the development of the new faith community/congregation in Goulburn, working with the local Uniting Church congregations to support new adventures in mission and ministry with people in the first third of life.
Last weekend the community had its first gathering under its new name – Grace Uniting Church (or Grace Community). As the minister, Aimee Kent, writes in the latest Perspective, the gathering marks a significant milestone for the new faith community project which, over the last twelve months, "has begun to make the transition from 'networking and community engagement' into 'community gathering and development of worship'."

This recipe was inspired by a recipe I found on Epicurious.com and the contents of my freezer. I've had a package of Italian-seasoned ground turkey in my deep freezer for quite a while now and needed to cook it before it got too frost-bitten. I found this recipe for Penne in Cream Sauce with Sausage and did some tweaking.
This is one of those recipes that is a joy to cook. I like to get everything all chopped and measured before-hand. Then it comes together so quick, all in the same pan, and it smells fantastic. I had this strange feeling of actually knowing what I was doing while cooking it. Knowing exactly what temperature and for how long to cook the mushrooms, chopping the parsley like the chefs do on TV and plating the food up to look gorgeous. Dare I say it, the results were restaurant-quality! I think I just may be an experienced cook. Try this recipe out for yourself!
****Check out my Low-FODMAP Version of this recipe:
Low-FODMAP Creamy Italian Turkey Penne****
print recipe
Creamy Italian Turkey Penne
serves 4
2 cups dry rice penne pasta (I like gluten-free from bionaturae)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz. fresh button mushrooms, sliced
20 oz. Italian-seasoned ground turkey (such as from Jennie-O)
2/3 cup dry white wine (I used Pinot Grigio)
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
6 Tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, divided
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- Prepare pasta according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, melt butter with oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 7 minutes. Add ground turkey and sauté until cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 7 minutes. Add wine to skillet and boil until almost all liquid evaporates, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat and add heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the pepper, 4 tablespoons of the parsley, and 3/4 cup of the cheese.
- Dish out onto plates and sprinkle with remaining parsley and cheese.

with 80% acetic acid which kills both nosema spores and EFB bacteria and no doubt some of the fungal pathogens too. Stack supers, sealed as tightly as possible, with an acetic acid pad (22–30 cm2 with 150 ml of acid per super box) over every two supers and leave for a week to 10 days. Use petroleum jelly to protect metal parts from the corrosive effects of acetic acid. Air the frames well to clear any remaining fumes before using them. Nosema spores are susceptible to a number of commonly used disinfectants. Tools should be cleaned routinely with a solution of washing soda while out-of-circulation hive boxes and other parts should be washed and flamed with a blowtorch before bringing them back into use.
Caution – use protective equipment when handling acetic acid or commonly used disinfectants. Be aware that acetic acid has a corrosive effect on metal hive parts
Related Viruses
Black queen cell virus, Kashmir bee virus and virus Y are all associated with nosema while virus X is associated with amoeba. It is not clear what the relationship between viruses and nosema actually is but it is thought that damage to the gut lining made by injecting the nosema sporoplasm makes it easier for viruses to the enter the cells. It may also work the other way round so that bees infected by virus become more susceptible to nosema.
Genetic Resistance
No genetic resistance to the parasite has been unequivocally demonstrated although it is not unrealistic to expect that bees should be more resistant to the original parasite, Nosema apis, than the more recently introduced N ceranae. However, the bees' defence mechanisms protecting them from nosema are linked to seasonal weather patterns so it is difficult to assess the effect of the different pathology of N ceranae or the effects of continuing cool, wet summers.

49 Mile High Trash Chute
In my role as Board president of our condominium association, I have a chance to experience things well outside my normal work in technology and the arts. This week, I overcame my fear of heights to climb up to the roof of our 32-story building and check in on a crew from Wash on Wheels that spent 10 hours cleaning the trash chute. It gave me new appreciation for a part of the building I've taken for granted, and for the tough work our building engineer Jaris Thomas and the WOW guys did.

London crowned world's top tourist destination
London has been crowned the most popular tourist destination in the world, by the respected Mastercard Global Cities Index report, putting the city ahead of Bangkok and Paris.
According to the report, London is projected to host 18.7 million international visitors in 2014 – 300,000 more visitors than the 2013 top destination city Bangkok.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "With nearly nineteen million visitors this year London is the world's favourite place to visit. Our city perfectly combines history, heritage, arts and culture, not to mention vast amounts of green space and major events that are the envy of the planet."
Now in its fourth year, the index provides a ranking of the 132 most travelled cities from around the world.
Europe boasts two of the top five cities, London and Paris, with Bangkok, Singapore, and Dubai making up the global top five. Overall, Europe boasts eight of the top 20 destination cities by international overnight visitors. Istanbul (7th), Barcelona (11th), Amsterdam (12th), Milan (13th), Rome (14th) and Vienna (17th) all make the cut.
Ann Cairns, President of International Markets, Mastercard said: "The recognition of this year's top international destinations reinforces the continued importance of cities as business, cultural and economic hubs. For London in particular, being recognised once again for its place as the top destination will further boost this city's ability to continue to be a global leader, whether it is hosting events that shine a spotlight on this city to draw in further investment, or inspiring those within to drive economic growth."
In 2013, according to the Office of National Statistics International Passenger Survey, London welcomed over 16 million international visitors in one year for the first time in history. Tourists from around the globe flocked to the city in ever increasing numbers to attend world class exhibitions, visit amazing royal palaces, dine at Michelin starred restaurants, and watch world class sporting events.
Some of the major cultural events in London this year drawing millions of international visitors include 'Ming: 50 Years that changed China' at the British Museum, 'Constable: The Making of a Master' at the V&A and 'Rembrandt: The Final Years' at the National Gallery.
Among many other 2014 events expected to capture worldwide attention is the commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of World War I with the re-opening of the Imperial War Museum this month and the 'Great War in Portraits' exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. Together with an exhibition about fictional detective Sherlock Holmes at the Museum of London and the Thames River Festival in September, this year offers a feast of activities for visitors.

Mount Goode, Mount Agassiz
By: Ron Campbell
Doing Goode and Eating Well
The pine duff (also known as ôdirtö) nicely set off the linen tablecloth and brass candlesticks. The vintage wine, custom packaged in plastic bottles, complimented the smoked salmon blinis, marinated Portobello mushrooms and Godiva Belgian Chocolate ice cream.
Thatĺs the way it was at the Decadent Wilderness Weekend III. Oh, yes, and we climbed a couple of 13ers too.
Seven of us met at the South Lake parking lot shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday. The weather was sunny but not hot Ś ideal hiking weather. We arrived at Bishop Lakes by 11 a.m., a full hour ahead of my pessimistic forecast.
I had originally planned to climb Mount Goode on Sunday, descend the southwest side, contour to Bishop Pass and then climb Mount Agassiz. After Tom McDonnell and Patrick McKusky both assured me that I was nuts, I privately crossed Agassiz off my plan.
But when we arrived at Bishop Lakes Goode was right there, calling to me. Right then, co-leader Georgette Rieck and I decided to climb Goode immediately, before dinner, and set aside Sunday for Agassiz.
From Bishop Lakes, Goode looks about a football field away. That turns out to be the wrong clich?: Itĺs more like a Rhode Island away. First, Bishop Lakes is the wrong starting point. You have to aim somewhat north of the peak to reach a sandy area above the first talus slope; the best way to get there is from Saddlerock Lake, just north and 100 vertical feet below the Bishop Lakes basin.
The climberĺs second decision is what to do after reaching the sandy area. You can take a diagonal toward the peak through a field of boulders ranging in size from microwaves to SUVs. That was my decision.
Or you can exercise the miraculous virtue of hindsight: Stick to the sandy area until you are directly below the summit; then head straight up through a well-worn talus field. All seven participants summitted Goode after a four-hour climb; we easily could have shaved 30 or even 60 minutes from that time by staying low longer.
Back in camp, it was time for the gourmet potluck. We spread an autumn-themed linen tablecloth on the ground, added the candlesticks and attempted to light the candles in the erratic wind.
Next we broke out the appetizers: smoked salmon on blinis (small buckwheat pancakes) with cream cheese, capers and, a heavenly touch, fresh dill; Kalamata olives; fresh shrimp with cocktail sauce; Portobello mushrooms and miniature plum tomatoes, marinated in olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic; and stuffed grape leaves.
Diners had a choice of three red wines, each tastefully packaged in Nalgene or Platypus bottles: Frei Brothers Petit Syrah (2003), Fat Bastard Merlot (2003) and Black Mountain Fat Cat Cabernet (2002). Georgette helpfully left the cork in her Fat Bastard. (And yes, that really is its name, and yes, itĺs French.)
We had two entree choices. Most diners chose, well, both. First off the mountaineering stove was capellini (angel hair pasta) in puttanesca sauce with goat cheese and freshly grated Parmesan. Next up: shrimp and rice with Mandarin oranges and almonds in a sesame ginger sauce.
For dessert, Georgette whipped out a surprise package, a 7-lb. cooler loaded with, oh, 6-1/2 lbs. of dry ice and two pints of ice cream Ś Godiva Belgian Dark Chocolate and Santa Barbara Vanilla Bean. Diners drizzled their ice cream with Kahlua. The ice cream would have been outstanding by itself; with the Kahlua it was as blissful as the night sky. We toasted ourselves to bed at 9:30 p.m. after a suitably slow-paced dining experience. Any restaurant critic who could survive the hike would have given it four stars.
At 5:30 a.m. a few of us were awakened by a rockslide on Picture Puzzle Peak. At 6 a.m., I tried to arouse those who werenĺt disturbed by hundreds of tons of moving granite. Just three of us were awake, fed and ready to hike when we set out for Agassiz at 7:20 a.m.
We summitted Agassiz shortly after 11 a.m. The views were among the most spectacular I have ever seen in the Sierra. Just to the south, Sill, North Palisade and Thunderbolt seemed close enough to touch Ś but you already know how poor a judge of distances I am. Tom and Humphreys dominated the horizon to the north. To the southwest we enjoyed a fine view of the Black Divide.
While taking in the scenery from the summit, we supped on roasted garlic and three cheese potato chips with leftover Kalamata olives.
The descent was extremely tedious. Iĺm sure there is a good route off Agassiz. I am equally certain that it was not the route we took.
A few hours later we returned to the parking lot, toasting a fine weekend with Sam Adams Summer Ale.
Participants were Lisa Buckley, Daryn Dodge, Marlen Mertz and recent WTC graduates Roger Behrens and Brandon Mosst.
My thanks to Georgette for her usual great colead, to Lisa for her help on Agassiz and to Daryn for carrying that heavy cooler of ice cream up and down Mount Goode without even once asking what was inside.
