Meet the Winemaker
There's a magical stretch of the Danube river that's known as the 'Tuscany of Austria'. Hills rise in the mist above the Wachau valley, and between fairytale towns of ornate, pastel coloured historic buildings, wineries line the river banks and hillsides.
In this MeettheMakerstv.com, we visit a vineyard in Krems, where the vintner's tour reveals the winery's history as well as a new taste for interactive, modern art.Start your Trip

I'm not going to tell you "the best". Although I'll take the opportunity to mention I'm extremely annoyed at those who talk of 'the best' and only consider level 70. It tends to reinforce the subject of this post:
You are doing yourself a massive disservice if you delay enchantments till you get "that next piece".
The fact is that as long as you're not getting the top enchants, they're not going to cost a lot of money. And little increases add up.
An example is Lesser Intellect. It goes on a 2H weapon. It adds +3 to int. It is cheap even if you have to pay for the mats – three greater magic essences will usually cost less than you make running through Deadmines or Wailing Caverns even after repairs. And +3 int is 30 more mana which is very useful at these levels.
That brings me to the second point. Take the enchantment that fits. The thing that puts most people off getting enchants is that they only look at the best. Using our example, that's Major Intellect for weapons less than level 35, and major intellect after that. And for a level 10 or 20 or 30 player, that's a LOT of gold for those mats. Especially for a weapon you're going to replace in 5 to ten levels. But that +3 Int beats nothing.
Notice I'm not really telling you WHAT enchants to get. Just… if you're not putting on everything you can, especially when enchanters are practically giving away anything under level 200, you're hindering yourself.

We're only half way through the month, but the "June gloom" appears to be surprisingly mild this year. We discussed the matter with Alexander Tardy, a forecaster at the
Q: It seems like the "June gloom" isn't as bad as it's been in past years. Is that the case?
A: In general, this is correct. While the number of cloudy days along the coast varies between May and August, this year has had only a few days when the sun did not break out on the immediate coast and at the beaches. The inversion has been weak enough to make it so clouds haven't gotten trapped near the surface all day. This has brought many sunny afternoons, such as the ones we've seen this week.
The past two summers have seen similar weather patterns and breaks in the June gloom.
There's a misconception that the coast will be cloudier if the deserts are hotter than normal. Actually, we saw the opposite last summer, with above average deserts temperatures. But there were many days of sun at the beaches. The hot, dry air inland can be very effective in eroding the marine layer and lowering humidity enough to remove or break up clouds.
Q: Just how "gloomy" is it when the June gloom is in place?
A: Very deep marine layers can be 2,000-feet thick and extend up to the mountain slopes. The marine layer and clouds typically extend up to 1,500 to 2,500 feet. The thicker it is, the harder it can be to burn off completely.
Q: Is June gloom hard to predict? There are times when the marine layer extends farther inland that expected.
A: Yes, the depth of the marine layer responds to very subtle (only a couple degrees) of change near or above it, as well as temperatures below it (deeper at night when the land cools.)
Q: Why does it get so gloomy over La Jolla? Is there something about the topography that enhances the marine layer?
A: The bluffs. The shape of the coast and the higher terrain that extends to cooler water can have some impact on clouds or fog persisting longer. The coastal hills also can force the clouds to rise, which is similar to the orographic effect we see with precipitation and storms.

Actor Max Ryan, who plays Samantha Jones' love interest in "Sex and The City 2," is stable after a head-on collision while riding his motorcycle in Los Angeles on Monday, a rep for the actor confirmed to AccessHollywood.com.
According to rep Erik Kritzer, a car turned in front of Max and they ran into each, leaving Max trapped under the car.
"Max is stabilized," his rep told Access on Wednesday. "According to attending physicians, he has broken five ribs and cracked his collarbone. Max wants to thank the emergency services for responding so quickly."

As Commercial Property Management Companies Near Me in Pretoria, there are many positives and negatives with this job. As with any job you make it what you want. There are days that are longer and more difficult then others.There are many regulations you need to know and must be a realtor. If you want to start this business you need to know exactly what it entails.You will need to be licensed by the sales tax agency if they charge sales tax on the monthly rent.
You need to have one for each town you are doing business in. It is extremely helpful that you are well versed in repairing things or have a good list of contractors available for repairs. Your life will be so much easier if you can determine what repair needs your immediate attention, what can wait until the next business day.

The job in Pretoria can be a 24/7 day business. You set the hours. It is hard to predict when a client may need a repair. Keep in mind that the owner has the right to cancel the property management reviews. This has not happened to me I still have the same customers for the last seven years and continue to grow.
Why you ask, I believe it is that I handle this like a business while maintaining contact with the owners on an as needed basis.
Property Manager Customer, Complaints, Reviews And Enquiries
Dissatisfaction may be one of the reasons why relationship between rental property owner and a property management company in Pretoria do not succeed. If this happens, take immediate actions to stop the service. But, make sure you do not deviate from the terms of the management contract you are in to avoid a more serious legal problem, breach of contract in particular. The following are the do's and don'ts in terminating a management agreement.
Provide Proper Fitzanne Service Review on All Complaints
One must first, go over the Commercial Property Management Companies Near Me contract under termination clause, as to the required number of days before issuing a notice to terminate a contract. Make sure you are within the 30 and 90 days notice (which most contracts require) bound to avoid these two things to happen: nullity of your termination request or you will be charged of breach of contract if you still insist on terminating the agreement. You may even end up involving in a lawsuit especially in the latter case.
Why checking Fitzanne Estates Customer Service Reviews , Enquiries and Contact Details ?
Make sure your notification to terminate the management contract is in writing. You can send the notice via certified mail; state the effective date of the contract termination.

Property Management Reviews in Johannesburg
Concentrate solely on the numbers and . Do not let personal relationship affects the actual results the property manager is trying to attain. Meaning, even if you personally like the property manager, but thinks they are not fitted to the position as such, for instance low production as to number of occupancies convinced or delayed response on the maintenance requests. Maybe it is high time to untie the bond by hiring someone who could be of full advantage to your investment.
Commercial Property Management Companies Near Me in Pretoria ?The Property Management Contract - Taking it ApartThe manager will be taking on significant responsibilities with the owner's real estate. It is important to look at the contract and at a minimum it must1. Name all parties to the contract2. The legal property address3. Define the responsibilities of the manager and the owner4. Enumerate all fees and commissions for leasing or real estate sales.5. Define the term of the contract6. Both parties must sign and date the contractWhat is Agency?"It may be referred to as the relationship between a principal and an agent whereby the principal, expressly or impliedly, authorizes the agent to work under his control and on his behalf. The agent is, thus, required to negotiate on behalf of the principal or bring him and third parties into contractual relationship."WikipediaBasically you are signing off and binding the manager to act in your behalf and in your best interest regarding the management of the property.The Take-away:1. You should require a current license and go to search your state dept. of Real Estate to see if it is current and that there have not been any complaints or suspensions or revocations of the real estate license.2. You should also check with your local Better Business Bureau and ask for referrals. 3. Finally, ask to see the general liability insurance policy and if the principals have errors and omissions insurance.2. Tenant Screening: What are the tenant screening criteria. he company should be able to clearly offer you a set of rules. This should never be an off hand "we pick em if we like em" approach. Thats a law suit waiting to happen. We will write on fair housing, the federal government's body of law governing housing and discrimination. meanwhile there are a series of articles at our website you can read if you need to know.Financials:All management companies should have accounts online and always available. The bigger companies will have an accountant in the company. Thats a plus.The company responsibilities are:1. Track income and expenses to determine profitability2. Rents and other fees from the property shall be deposited into a special bank account or trust as required by law and cannot become mingled with the company funds.Issue monthly income statements3. Negotiate rental agreements4. Respond to tenant requests and deal with problem tenants5. The Agent should collect the rents and other income from the property promptly6. From the rents received the Agent should pay all operating expenses and such other expenses as requested by the Owner. This may include the payment of mortgages or taxes.Howard Bell for yourpropertypath.com
Property Management Fees: Is It A Necessary Investment To Cater Problems?Being a landlord is not all its cracked up to be. Think carefully of all the responsibilities that follow the purchase of an investment property for rental use. Screen your clients, run credit checks and, if you are both landlord and owner of the property, learn to deal with problems objectively, fairly and legally. Many clients will try to talk their way out of serious issues like late rent payments. Some will even present a dramatic sob story be sure to stand firm and take care of your property the best way you know how. Any renter can and should be held accountable for rent they have agreed to pay. Tenants can be like children and will give you gray hairs. You may have to start coloring twice a month! Make Sure You Have Time For DIY Do-it-yourself (DIY) property management can be difficult if you have a career and a family. The responsibility of the landlord position can be incredibly time consuming. As the owner or manager of the property you will receive all tenant phone calls to report items that need to be fixed or complaints that need to be mentioned. Tenants can be very high maintenance. Be prepared for them to call often and for minor reasons. Also, take the time to complete quarterly checks every three months. Especially if you are a DIY property manager/owner, keeping an eye on the condition of the property is essential to maintaining your investment. Ask Questions And Read The Fine Print To find a property manager you must know what questions to ask. Write a list of the reasons you want to hire a property manager and be clear about what you will expect from the person or business that represents you. When you hire a property manager read the property management agreement thoroughly. Many property management agreements renew annually, unless you cancel the agreement sixty days in advance. Most property managers continue their management while tenants they have procured are still living on the property. The management agreement will hold in place until the tenant vacates regardless, of your desire to terminate the current relationship. Always, be fully aware of what kind of commitment you are making in these agreements. Dont Let Management Companies Take Advantage Of You If you decide to work with a property management company educate yourself about possible hidden fees that may be added to take advantage of less knowledgeable property owners. Extra fees like charges for acquiring work or cleaning estimates, procurement fees for finding new tenants and commission fees added to tenant sales are just a few examples of things to look for. Commission charges that are added to tenant sales are negotiable within the property management agreement. These types of concealed charges are typical in agreements created by larger companies that have a property management division. In general, the cost to hire a property management company should be a percentage of the monthly rent. Tips To make Your Property Management Search More Successful Always research and read your property management agreement from beginning to end. Dont sign anything until you feel comfortable. Take all the time you need to make a decision. Research and compare property managers. Ask them about their marketing strategy for the property. Find out how long the manager has been licensed and how many properties they have worked with. Ask for and contact references. The best property managers are found by referral through a trusted friend or business colleague. Living By Example As a property manager I try to exemplify the highest qualities in the business. I charge a percentage of the rent for my fee and promise not to add any hidden fees or undisclosed costs. I also require all potential tenants to allow me to do a credit check. I work to create the best situation for everyone involved. Since many rental properties eventually go up for sale, you are always building relationships with tenants who may be potential buyers. It is worth it to be smart, fair and reasonable in your property dealings. ZZZZZZ

Rachel maybe?
time? not me one more thing then I swear I'm leaving!
Quote from: gingerman28 on November 14, 2007, 09:24:48 PMTrain to O or train leaving O for somewhere else???Nope. I pointed out earlier in this thread that the Na Ka Boom statue is at the Railroad station. That is likely to be the destination in the clue that teams receive in Amsterdam as they leave the pitstop. Peach's information on the paucity of where the railroad goes in the best of times and how it is mostly out of business is certain to be accurate, so there will be no train rides for AR12 teams in my estimation.
Train to O or train leaving O for somewhere else???
puddin, here is what I'm thinking:1. It is likely to be a TBC in spite of what TAR Asia indicates and MICHAEL D wants. The structure of the AR12 indicates that there has to be one before Taiwan and there will not be a more contiguous place than in Africa.

NBC says it has a deal with Conan O'Brien to produce a possible series, only days after his rancorous exit as host of the network's "Tonight Show."
NBC is picking up a pilot from O'Brien's production company, Conaco. The drama, as yet untitled, focuses on a Supreme Court justice who leaves the bench to start his own practice.
Casting has yet to be announced for the pilot, which is bucking for a series slot on NBC's fall schedule.
Despite O'Brien's recent split from NBC as an on-camera star, he retains a development deal with the network.

I got my recent Homing Beacon (#223, in fact) email, and it had a link to a story on Star Wars and Indiana Jones Madlibs (however, I couldn't get the link to load ) books. I loved them, and putting them in familiar settings like the Well of the Souls, on the Bantu Wind, Chalman's [sp?] Cantina, or a garbage masher sounds neato!

Pushing Ukraine Back to the Soviet Union?
Ukraine scored a historic upset in their first Euro 2012 soccer match yesterday, creating a rare celebratory and unifying atmosphere in the country. There had been little good news out of the Ukraine leading up to its co-hosting—with Poland—of the continent's major soccer championship. Despite achieving independence two decades ago, Ukraine's political development remains stunted. Ironically, European governments risk pushing Kiev away while attempting to promote democracy there. Such as by Berlin's threat to block a new political and trade agreement between Ukraine and the European Union.
There's not a lot to choose from among Ukraine's leading politicians. However, President Viktor Yanukovich appears to be misusing his power to punish rival Yulia Tymoshenko for political revenge.
In response, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that her nation would boycott the 2012 European Championships. Last month German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle also threatened to kill Kiev's Association Agreement and the Common Economic Space Treaty with the EU. Ukraine is a member of the Eastern Partnership initiative, created three years ago by Brussels.
Ukraine is not the only troubled member of the EP: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, and Moldova all have serious human rights issues. However, Nicu Popescu of the European Council on Foreign Relations explained that while Ukraine is not the worst offender among the group, it "is the biggest source of disappointment and bad news." As a result, warned Jana Kobzova, also at the Council, "More and more EU states are asking why should we want the Ukraine closer to the EU when its political system is increasingly incompatible with the values the EU preaches?"
It's a fair question, but the alternative is Kiev slipping closer to orbit around Russia. Yanukovich originally was viewed as Moscow's candidate, since he represented Russophone speakers. However, in office he put his nation first. He has refused to join Russia's Customs Union (which also includes Belarus and Kazakhstan) and turn over control of Ukraine's natural gas to Moscow. But because of resistance in Brussels, Yanukovich last month declared a "strategic pause" in Ukraine's relations with the EU. In fact, Foreign Minister Konstantin Grishenko said his nation would no longer seek full EU membership.
Germany and the other EU members should moderate their ambitions. None of the Eastern Partnership members were on the fast-track to EU membership. The systems were too different and the geographic distances were too great. Even before Kiev disappointed its European friends people were talking of a 20-year accession process. And enlargement fatigue had not yet afflicted Brussels, with disappointment over the performance of Bulgaria and Romania, resistance to Turkey's membership, and reluctance to quickly include the rest of the Balkans.
Instead of viewing Ukraine as a candidate member to be transformed, the Europeans should treat Ukraine as an errant friend to be reformed. Closer ties should be developed, allowing more criticism to be delivered with greater effect. The association agreement between the EU and Kiev obviously is important economically to Ukraine. It also may be the best vehicle to help pull Kiev back to a more democratic course.

Red Sox, Yanks united in honoring Newtown
NEW YORK -- The Yankees and the Red Sox joined together on Opening Day to dedicate Monday's game to the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting, their families and the greater community of Newtown, Conn.
Pregame ceremonies at Yankee Stadium featured a joint honor guard of Newtown police and firefighters, along with a moment of silence during which a list of the Sandy Hook victims' names were recognized on the center-field video board.
"Just honoring them, being there for them, is outstanding," Yankees closer Mariano Rivera said. "We cannot change what happened. I wish we could. But at the same time, we're trying to bring them a lot of good moments and just trying to take the tragedy away from their minds for a little bit.
"Hopefully, we will have a great game so they can enjoy and we will honor them the right way."
Monday's ceremonial first pitch was thrown by former Yankees outfielder and manager Lou Piniella, while Broadway star Constantine Maroulis performed the national anthem. A moment of silence was also held for former Yankees right-hander Bob Turley, who won the 1958 Cy Young Award and died on Saturday at the age of 82.
The Yankees and Red Sox took the field wearing special ribbons on their uniforms to honor those lost and affected by the Dec. 14, 2012, Newtown tragedy. The ribbons were also painted on the field in front of both dugouts, and Commissioner Allan H. "Bud" Selig has asked the other 28 Major League teams to follow suit in wearing the ribbon during their respective Opening Day games.
"I think it's important to say thank you," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "The town of Newtown went through so much during the last four or five months, and you think about being a responder. Sometimes we don't think about what they go through and how important they are during a situation like that.
"I think it's nice that we're getting an opportunity to say thank you for all that you do, because they're obviously going to do more as the future goes on."
On July 7, approximately 3,000 children, families and members of the Newtown community will be invited to celebrate summer recess by attending the Yankees' 1:05 p.m. ET game against the Orioles. The date will be proclaimed "Newtown Day at Yankee Stadium."

On tonight's Report, Amy Chua—the controversial author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother—was Stephen Colbert's guest. The interview was a mix of funny and serious, with defenses by Chua of her parenting throughout. Here are some highlights.
At the beginning of the interview, Chua described how she felt about the negative reaction that some have had to her strict parenting memoir:
Then, Colbert asked Chua to respond to accusations that she believes the Chinese method of parenting is superior to other methods (when describing how she backpedaled a bit on the strictness by allowing her daughter to play tennis instead of the violin, the audience booed Chua):
Later, Chua described some of the values she tried to instill in her children through her parenting methods, and also responded to Colbert's question of whether or not she parented by forcing her children to do things that she herself was interested in:
Finally, Colbert asked Chua, "If there is one misconception about this book, what would it be?" Here's her answer:

Find a Financial Planner in Celina, Texas
In life, nothing is permanent in this world. Everything that comes will definitely go. That is why it is best to put our best foot forward and save more for the future. The best thing you can start with is a properly thought out retirement plan.
Celina Financial Planner
Some wait to long before they decide to plan for their future. This is not a good idea because we can never tell what lies ahead. So, here's how and when to start retirement planning:
1. The retirement year
First, decide on what year you would like to retire. It is always best to start something with a goal in hand. This will keep you focused and determined to push it through.
2. Do your homework
The best way to start creating your retirement plan is to consult your employer-sponsored 401(k) or IRA, or any of your retirement schemes and investigate mutual funds to determine what programs may coincide with your target date of retirement. A qualified Celina Financial Planner can steer you in the right direction, and will have the most up-to-date information.
3. Backup Plan
There are many instances where your plan can backfire. So, it is best to have backups. So, when making a retirement plan, you'd better include a backup that will serve as a fallback in case your nest eggs fails or if something else goes wrong. It is best that you do not depend entirely on your funds because sometimes there are circumstances that are beyond our control. Your financial planner can suggest good alternatives.
3. Opt for annuities
When doing retirement planning, you should take note also of the different retirement planning strategies that will surely make your plan work. One good example of a retirement planning strategy is to invest in annuities.
Basically, annuities are adaptable indemnity bonds that are exclusively patterned to pay interest, while at the same time assisting you in accomplishing your long-term saving goals.
These annuities are the long-term items recommended by most insurance companies, though, there are brokers and other financial establishments that provide this kind of service. Your Celina Financial Planner can help you set specific goals with a plan to achieve them.
There are two types of annuities: the immediate and the tax-deferred annuity.
In the immediate annuity, you start your retirement planning by giving a hefty amount of money to the insurance company or financial institution. Your payment scheme will begin immediately after funding the annuity. This type of annuity is usually best for those who are already at least 60 years of age.
On the other hand, the tax-deferred annuities you may choose whether you will pay the retirement amount instantly or make a monthly disbursement until the time you reach your target date.
This is usually appropriate to those who start their retirement planning early, generally those who are 20 years old at the least.
4. Consider Modified Endowment Contracts
Annuities had been heading the limelight for so many years now. Most people would go for annuities, as this is the most popular retirement planning strategy. However, like most plans, it is still vulnerable to problems and crisis. That is why it is best to make an alternative option when doing your retirement planning.
The next best retirement planning strategy is the Modified Endowment Contract or the MEC. This is, basically, one kind of insurance policy.
In reality, MEC is similar to annuity, especially the tax-deferred annuity, in terms of the preliminary premium rates. Though, they differ in terms of tax codes.
With an annuity, the tax code appears to be very unfavorable especially when the benefactor dies while the annuity accumulation stage is in full force. This, in turn, makes the deferred wage taxes on development suddenly become payable.
In contrast, the MEC resolves this problem by providing the benefactor or the beneficiaries with an insurance rider included in the agreement. The insurance rider is made to hand over the full amount to your recipients absolutely free from any taxes.
Moreover, MECs can give you the flexibility of choosing between the variable and fixed account preferences. This, in turn, will make your retirement planning relatively easier.
Whatever retirement planning strategy you choose, the bottom line is that it is really important to save for your retirement as soon as possible. The help of a good Celina Financial Planner will save you a lot of headaches.
As they say, life is suspense; you will never know what it can offer you until the end. So, the best time to do retirement planning is now.

Checking in on… the MAACPosted by rtmsf on January 2nd, 2010
Ray Floriani of College Chalktalk is the RTC correspondent for the MAAC and NEC conferences.
LYNDHURST, NJ – Just before the New Year teams rounded out the non-conference schedule before MAAC play heats up not long after the ball drops in Times Square. The significant contest of note was two days before Christmas as Siena 'held serve' defeating conference contender Rider in a game at Albany.
The other big news came in the boardroom not on the court. The MAAC weighed bids and decided to award their championships to the Mass Mutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. The tournament will be held there 2012-14. In choosing the 8,000 seat facility, MAAC Commissioner Rich Ensor wanted a truly neutral site. Ensor feels the facility is in proximity to member schools and the conference can draw at a locale where a member school does not use as a home facility on a full or part-time basis. The Basketball Hall of Fame in the same city is prepared to help setting up a special exhibit regarding MAAC history.
A tempo-free look at defensive efficiency. The metric is simply points per possession allowed multiplied by 100. The average possessions per game for the respective teams is noted in the first column. This includes all games. The next time out we will focus on MAAC play only as everyone will have at least four conference games in the books which should allow us to see trends start to take shape. Again, stats are courtesy of Basketball State.
St.Peter's was sort of a surprise though the 6-6 record is deceiving as John Dunne's club had a few tough losses. Niagara's 96 is high but can be explained given the schedule and injuries. The fact that the Purple Eagles have been able to weather those setbacks (notably injuries to Bilal Benn and Tyrone Lewis) and find a way to start 2-0 in conference play (9-5 overall) speaks volumes of their resiliency and the job coach Joe Mihalich is doing.
- Rider junior Justin Robinson leads the MAAC in free throw shooting and is 17th nationally.
- Tyrone Lewis is four steals away from setting the all-time record at Niagara. Lewis is five assists from becoming the 5th MAAC player in history to record 2,000 points, 200 assists and 200 steals.
- In Canisius' 63-48 win over New Orleans, the 48 points marked the lowest total allowed by the Griff defense since last century. Fairfield scored 45 on February 8,1997 in a Canisius victory .
- Derek Needham of Fairfield is second in conference scoring (15.8) and assist (6.1) totals.
MAAC Co-Players of the Week :
- Brett Harvey (G), Loyola – Led the Greyhounds to a big 72-67 upset at Indiana. Harvey scored nine of his game high 25 points down the stretch as Loyola sealed the victory. He added four assists and five rebounds in 29 minutes.
- Alex Franklin (F), Siena – Scored 22 points (9 of 13 shooting) and added 11 rebounds in the Saints' big victory over conference contender Rider in Albany. It was Franklin's second double-double of the season.
Rookie of the Week. Rashard McGill (G), Iona – Averaged 11.5 points and 3.5 rebounds off the bench in a win over FDU and a loss at UConn. McGill scored his career-high 12 points in the game against the nationally ranked Huskies on Sunday.
Team Breakdowns
- Canisius – Finished second at the Southern Miss Christmas Classic by winning two out of three games in the round-robin event. Canisius fell to North Florida but defeated Southern Mississippi and New Orleans. The loss was Southern Mississippi's first in the three years of the event. Senior guard Frank Turner continued his outstanding play, averaging 19 points for the three games. A good sign is scoring help from junior forward Elton Frazier who had 17 in the New Orleans game and averages 11 ppg on the season.
- Fairfield – Derek Needham is now second in conference scoring with 15.8 ppg. Needham is one of two Fairfield players to start all eleven games to date and have double figures scoring in ten of them. Not just a scorer, the freshman guard averages 6.1 assists per outing. Fairfield owns a 5-0 home record to date. The Stags played Holy Cross, Fordham and St.Francis (NY) at the on campus facility, Alumni Hall.
- Iona – Started a six-game road trip, the season's longest, with an 82-60 win at FDU. That was followed by a 93-74 setback at UConn. Sophomore Scott Machado and freshman Rashard McGill were the only Gaels to average double figures for the two games. Machado has shown no signs of a sophomore jinx and has displayed the ability to hand out assists as well as score. Senior Milan Prodanovic knocked down five three-pointers, accounting for all of his 15 points in the win at FDU.
- Loyola – The Greyhounds had never defeated a Big Ten team in eight tries. Number nine was the one as they defeated Indiana 72-67 in Bloomington. Loyola led by 24 the first half before the Hoosiers came back and held a three-point lead in the stretch. Resiliency and senior guard Brett Harvey secured the victory, Loyola scored 10 of the game's last 12 points with Harvey scoring nine of them. Harvey finished with a game high 25 points, added five assists and had two four-point plays the second half.
- Manhattan – The Jaspers have spent virtually the entire month on the road. After the New Year the trek continues with a visit to Marist January 2nd before returning to the friendly confines of Draddy Gymnasium. Darryl Crawford and Antoine Pearson have been steady contributors. Of late, Manhattan is also getting contributions from upperclassmen Patrick Bouli and Andrew Gabriel. The Jaspers had their longest layoff of the season going from December 19 until December 30 between games.
- Marist – Dropped their first nine games. Freshmen are getting most of the minutes, 24 of the first 45 starts, and account for 55% of the team's scoring those initial nine outings. First year point guard Delvin Price had a recent three-game run with a 9:4 A/TO ratio. Veteran contributions are coming for the Red Foxes as well. Sophomore guard RJ Hall returned to the lineup after sitting out the first semester due to academics. Hall, a solid performer at guard last year, scored nine points and had four assists in a recent loss to Lehigh. Junior guard Daye Kaha scored a team high 11 off the bench in that same contest.
- Niagara – Came back from 19 down to defeat rival St. Bonaventure. Niagara was without the services of All-MAAC performer Bilal Benn. The Purple Eagles, in fact, have played eight of the first dozen games minus a first team all-conference performer as Tyrone Lewis missed a few contests earlier in the season. Senior sixth man Demetrius Williamson has answered the call filling in for injured teammates and posting 12 points per game. He had a career high 22 against St. Bonaventure and hit several crucial threes down the stretch.
- Rider – There is something about 8-6. Rider's loss to Siena just before Christmas to drop to 8-6. Rider was 8-6 last year then proceeded to win 10 of 13 down the stretch and be selected for postseason play. Rider was 8-6 in '08 and finished with 23 wins. The Broncs were 8-6 in '07 and doubled the win total from the previous year. So 8-6 is no cause for immediate concern. Rider has won 15 of its last 22 (.682) regular season MAAC games. Mike Ringgold had a double-double at Siena with 16 points and 12 rebounds.
- St. Peter's – Traveled to Piscataway and came out on the short end of a 66-42 decision at the hands of Rutgers. In that contest, the Scarlet Knights rejected 18 St. Peter's shots. A positive note was Steven Samuels who led St.Peter's with 14 points and 7 rebounds. The Peacocks bounced back for a road win at Stony Brook on Monday. Wesley Jenkins leads the team (13.7 ppg) in scoring while Nick Leon has contributed steadily from his guard spot. Darius Conley has also been a factor off the bench.
- Siena – Drew first blood in conference action knocking off contender Rider 84-62 in a pre-Christmas meeting in Albany. LaSalle transfer Kyle Griffin saw his first action in a Siena uniform. Griffin, coming off three knee surgeries, played both guard positions and scored five points in 13 minutes. Griffin will contribute and add depth to what is undoubtedly the MAAC's best starting five unit. The senior lead guard is running away with the national assist race. Moore, at last count, was averaging 8.4 assists per game. With the likes of Alex Franklin and Edwin Ubiles, Moore has capable teammates that are converting his passes.

This cute little snowman survived a 8552km journey from Japan to the desert of Bahrain without any refrigeration. The only things keeping him alive in his cardboard box were some new vacuum insulation panels designed by Panasonic.
Basically, the folks at Panasonic had this clever new product sitting around and needed a way to show it off when they just happened to get "a message on their Facebook page from a Bahraini girl named Amna al-Haddad, who wanted her younger brother Saleh to see snow for the first time".
So they did the logical thing:
They made a mold out of reinforced styrofoam and shoveled heaps of snow into it - about 70 quarts' worth - packing it tightly to form a rotund snowman. They put the mold in a cardboard box and covered it with Panasonic's U-Vacua insulation, which has a glass core enveloped by a plastic-metal composite foil.
Then they slapped a "Snowman Inside" sticker onto the 102kg box, and off it went. You can see the happy results in the video above. [Eco-Ideas via PopSci]

Your Pomegranate Cake and Honey-Wine Salmon were both incredible! My family & guests are bored with the same old Yom Tov foods and these were a delightful change. My guests were thrilled to enjoy something different.

Everything Came Out Great
I want to thank you so much for the Pesach cookbook. I enjoyed it a lot and everything I made came out great. My biggest hits were the stuffed pumpkin squash and the potato kugel with the meat inside!!!
Three Generations Enjoying Challah
I bought two of your challah cookbooks and I gave one to my daughter. Well, here is a picture of my twin grandchildren reaching for the bread we baked. They kept trying to grab the bread and saying "hot" as we snapped pictures! They will be 2 years old in September. Enjoy the photos.
A Memorable Challah Show
Thank you sooooo much for the challah show tonight. My kids loved you and my grandchildren will remember you for a long time... May HaShem bless you and yours with many smachot in good health and with good mazal.
Love Your Cookies!
We love your basic cookie recipe coated in crushed peanuts that came up in Hamodia!

Muffins How They are Meant to be
I am thrilled with your recipe for Pesach Applesauce Muffins. My daughters usually comment "you reduce the sugar and change the recipe so its not how its meant to be." I didn't have to this time, it is all wholemeal flour and so wholesome. Miss Critical goes for them whenever she misses a meal! Thank you so much and keep these healthy recipes coming.

My Grandson's Favorite
I've been making your non-gebroks butternut squash kugel and mushroom quiches since they first appeared. The squash dish is my grandson's favorite, and with my daughter now gluten free, it's been appearing ever more often! Chag sameach and keep up the good work!
Barbara, New Jersey
Just the Best Ever
Your recipe Yum, Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies are just the best ever. I doubled the recipe as I do for all my cakes and cookies for Pesach. I also chopped up chocolate instead of using chocolate chips. They are absolutely the best ever. I know my children and grandchildren will have a field day and want the recipe.
Braid Challah With my Eyes Closed
For years I tried braiding challah with six strands following diagrams and instructions in recipe books, but I could not get the hang of it. UNTIL some years ago when you had an article in Binah that included user-friendly diagrams and instructions. After successfully managing using the paper a number of times, I can now do it almost with closed eyes! Not only have you enhanced our Shabbos but you have also boosted my confidence!
My Biggest Hits
Thank you so much for the cookbook. I enjoyed it a lot and everything I made came out great. My biggest hit was the stuffed pumpkin squash and the potato kugel with the meat inside!!!

Logan debuts, feels in midseason form
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Left-hander Boone Logan made his spring debut Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless fifth inning at Bright House Field.
"That's what I was expecting. I wanted to go out there and get the job done," said Logan, who had been sidelined by a sore left elbow. "I wasn't going to have the first game be an excuse to not get my job done. On top of that, it does feel extra good to go out there and get a couple strikeouts, to do well against lefties."
Logan expected he'll feel some "typical soreness" on Wednesday, but he hasn't felt any pain in quite some time. He admitted that he might have to ice his arm every day he pitches, which he never used to do. But he has done it this spring, thinks it's helped and figures he'll stick with it once the regular season begins.
With his first outing out of the way, Logan has about two weeks to get ready for the season, enough time for him to make about four more Grapefruit League appearances. In his mind, that's enough time to be available should manager Joe Girardi call his name on Opening Day.
"If I can stay the way I'm feeling right now, I'll be in good shape," Logan said.
Logan shrugged off the idea that his 2012 workload -- he pitched 55 1/3 innings over an American League-leading 80 appearances -- may have contributed to his soreness this spring. And Girardi said he believes he'll be able to use the lefty just as often this season as he did last year, if necessary.
Logan didn't expect to have any limitations placed on him this year, either. And if he feels like he did Tuesday, he said, he won't need any.
"It's a little premature, but I felt midseason today," Logan said. "That was the first game back, also, so it could probably change the next couple games. I'll probably settle down a little bit."

USS JOHN C. STENNIS, At Sea -- New England Patriots coach, members of the New York Jets and an actor from "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" made special phone calls to spread holiday wishes to deployed Sailors aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Dec. 21.
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, New York Jets defensive end Mike DeVito, defensive tackle Kendrick Ellis, quarterback Greg McElroy, and cornerback Kyle Wilson and SVU actor Danny Pino called to thank Sailors for their service and let them know that their sacrifices are appreciated.
"I'm proud of the men and women in the service. It means a lot to me that we're one of your favorite teams because you're our favorite team," said Belichick. "We appreciate all your sacrifices; it's hard to be away from your families during the holidays, and we want to win for you guys."
Sixteen Sailors were present for the calls. One phone call gave a Sailor a chance to learn more about his personal interests outside his normal work routine.
"Talking to Pino was a personal interest for me because I am an aspiring writer and theater actor," said Boatswain's Mate Seaman Casey Rogers, from Kalamazoo, Mich. "This experience was invaluable to me in my future outside of the Navy."
Pino currently stars as Detective Nick Amaro in the long-running NBC legal drama, "Law Order: Special Victims Unit". He is also known for his critically acclaimed performance as Mexican druglord and serial rapist Armadillo Quintero on FX's The Shield.
"I appreciate all the dedication and commitment to keeping us back home safe especially during this time of year," said Pino. "I wish you guys all a happy holiday and happy new year."
"Getting a chance to talk to him [Pino], showed us that people in Hollywood actually care about the military," said Electrician's Mate 2nd Class Cameron Stewart, from Vancouver, Wash. "It means a lot to me because I'm a big Law and Order fan and now when I watch him on TV I'll know him as the person and not the character he plays on the show."
Sailors were left in suspense on whom they were going to talk to during the Jets phone call. One Sailor in particular was really excited to get a chance to talk to a player he had been following since he was in college.
"It was awesome to get a chance to speak with Greg [McElroy]. It is the best thing that's happened on deployment so far," said Intelligence Specialist 3rd Class Mark Dewberry, from Elberta, Ala.
McElroy was just as thrilled to talk to the Sailors aboard Stennis as they were to talk with him.
"I was thrilled to talk to the Sailors. When asked about this opportunity, I said 'Are you kidding me? It is a no brainer' so I'm glad I got the chance to talk to them and wish everyone a happy holiday," said McElroy.
The John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group, consisting of Stennis, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9, Destroyer Squadron 21 and guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay (CG 53) are forward deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet to strengthen regional partnerships, sustain maritime security, and support combatant commander requirements for assets in the area.

Here's a blog post I made in October of 2006:
"So I was doing some work and I look up to see my iTunes window. And I think to myself, hmmm, "how close am I to 10,000 songs?" So I take a look. And to my suprise, I actually hit 10,001! Weird, I tell you, weird. Freakingly weird, in fact.
But anyways, do you know how much music 10,001 songs is? Well first of all, it is 41.71 GB worth, thats how much. Secondly, it is enough to play music continuously for 25.4 days! Crazy huh. Crazy.
For the record, last song I played was (checking now)…"Famous Last Words" by My Chemical Romance."
Well, less than two years later, I have doubled that amount. I find this amazing as the initial 10,000 songs took about 4 years or so to build. The funny thing is, I haven't even yet imported all of my CD's (yeah, remember those shiny thing-a-ma-bobs). So, 20,000 songs later, I'm out nearly 90 GB (yes, NINETY GIGABYTES). That's enough music to last me 50 days. And I still I have the rest of my CD collection to import! Well, here's to the next 10,000.
And for the record, the last set of songs imported were from the Beastie Boys Discography!

Brother, Help Thyself Inc. (BHT), a local LGBT organization offering support to local nonprofits for the past 36 years, awarded more than $75,000 in grants to 31 various organizations on Jan. 25 at a reception at Ziegfeld's/Secrets Nightclub.
Among the nonprofits benefiting from the grants are: AIDS Action Baltimore, The DC Center's HIV Working Group, the Equality Maryland Foundation, Helping Our Brothers and Sisters (HOBS), Helping Individual Prostitutes Survive (HIPS), HIV support group HOPE DC, the Latino GLBT History Project, PFLAG chapters from Howard and Carroll counties, the Rainbow History Project, youth organization SMYAL and the Wanda Alston Foundation. Grants were also given to various social groups such as D.C.'s Different Drummers, the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, the Washington Renegades Rugby Football Club and the Washington Scandals Rugby Football Club.
More than 125 people attended the reception, which featured performances by the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington and drag performer Billie Ross. The event also featured guest speakers Catherine Hyde, the Mid-Atlantic regional director of PFLAG, who spoke about her path to becoming an advocate after coming to terms with her child's gender identity. Benjamin Takai, the monitoring and evaluation coordinator for the D.C. Department of Health's HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, STD and TB Administration (HAHSTA) Prevention and Intervention Services Division, also spoke about the District's attempts to reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS. In an official statement, BHT's treasurer, Mark Clark, said the reception was "our best ever."
"What really makes this annual event so wonderful, on top of the awarding of the actual checks, is the opportunity for our grantees to network and connect," BHT President Jim Slattery said in a statement. "They all do such great work and their expertise and best practices are vital to our community and each other."
BHT also handed out special honors at the reception. Winning the Billy Collison Award was Baltimore's Hope Springs, a nonprofit seeking to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS. GayRVA.com was honored with the George Dodson Business Award, given to a business that works on behalf of the community, for its promotion of Gay & Lesbian Night at Kings Dominion.

Bachrach Award, given to an individual working on behalf of the LGBT community, went to David Mariner, executive director of The DC Center, the city's primary LGBT community center.

The new season of Survivor Nicaragua is already causing controversy only two weeks in.
It all started when Shannon Elkins, a 30 year old pest control co. owner from Louisiana, decided to make some seemingly homophobic comments during his tribe's tribal council meeting. During the meeting, Shannon decided to randomly accuse one of his fellow tribe members, Sash, of being gay before adding that New York is filled with a lot of gay people. Sash is from New York by the way.
In a new interview with PEOPLE, Shannon attempts to clear his name by stating he isn't a homophobe or a sexist. He states he brought up Sash's sexuality to prove that he wasn't being honest about certain things. Shannon also believes he was the biggest threat in Nicaragua. Excerpts from his interview below –
What about going off like a loose cannon?
People think I dug my own grave but I knew I was going home. Anyone who has ever played Survivor will tell you that when one person can't look you in the face, it's you. It didn't matter what I said . . . I tried to take down the two idiots with me.
Do you mean Chase and Sash?
Chase admitted he was playing both sides. He was playing The Bachelor out there with his aspiring country music singer sob story and waiting for Brenda to bring him a freaking rose. Chase did not change the vote out on the island, where I could have defended myself and tried to change the vote to NaOnka. He did it on the way to tribal when we weren't supposed to be talking.
Your arguments against Sash and his sexuality seemed based on personal disapproval.
Did I stereotype Sash? Yes. That was wrong and I'm sorry. But you saw less than 40 percent of that tribal. There's an edit. I didn't straight up ask that dude if he was gay. I didn't need to ask his preference. He showed it while he was out there.
But why even bring it up unless you thought it'd turn people against him?
The guy kept coming after me, calling me a liar. I said, "I lied to you because you lied to me." He said, "When?" And I said, "When you told me you weren't gay." . . . I was simply trying to show people you can't trust him because he wasn't being honest about who he was. Why would you want to be in an alliance with, a liar and not me who shoots straight?
No pun intended?
I could give two craps what Sash does in his spare time. I'm not a homophobe. I didn't bash gays. I bashed Sash as a person. I'm also not a damn sexist. I'm married to a woman and I'm voting for Sarah Palin in 2012. And I think a woman, Brenda, is the biggest threat. She's athletic, sneaky and got Chase to fall in love day one.
A new episode of Survivor is set to air tonight at 8/7c on CBS.
