Chocolate Angel Cheesecake Pie
Preparation time: 45 minutes, plus chilling time
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
1 recipe Meringue Pie Shell (scroll down for the recipe)
1/4 cup organic cane sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup light cream
3 egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon salt
Two 1-ounce squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Prepare the Meringue Pie Shell and cool completely.
In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the cane sugar, brown sugar, and unflavored gelatin and mix with a wire whisk. Stir in the cream, egg yolks, and salt.
Place the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until the mixture starts to thicken and the sugar and gelatin completely dissolve, about 6 to 8 minutes. Don't let the mixture boil.
Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Beat until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
Beat in the cream cheese using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Then beat in the vanilla.
Chill this mixture in the refrigerator until it's smooth and thick, about 1 hour.
In a small bowl, combine the whipping cream, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form.
Using the same beaters, beat the cream cheese mixture until it's light and smooth. Fold in the whipped cream mixture.
Spoon the mixture into the Meringue Pie Shell.
Cover and chill for 3 to 4 hours before serving.

WALTHAM, Mass. -- The Brandeis indoor track and field teams had four performances that earned All-New England honors at the 2013 New England Division III Championship meets on Feb. 16. The men had three different runners take top-three podium spots at Bates College, while the women had one performance in the field at the University of Southern Maine.
The top performance of the weekend came from junior sprinter Vincent Asante (Bronx, N.Y./High School for the Arts, Imagination and Inquiry) in the 60-meter dash. Asante ran a time of 7.09 seconds in the preliminaries, which was the fourth-fastest in qualifiying. He then ran a time of 7.02 seconds in the finals, one-hundredth of a second off his fastest time of the season. In each race, Asante was second only to Colby's Dominic Kone, who is the defending NCAA champion as well. It was Asante's third All-Region honor, second indoors, having finished third in the 55-meter dash two years ago as a rookie.
Earning his second career All-New England honor was senior Alex Kramer (No. Andover, Mass./No. Andover) who finished third in the mile run. Kramer ran a time of 4:14.40, 1.17 seconds out of the top spot. It was not Kramer's fastest time of the season, but because his previous best had come on a banked track, Kramer improved to 18th in the nation in the event. Kramer had previously earned All-Region honors in the mile as a junior, when he finished in eighth place.
Senior Mik Kern (Groton, N.Y./Groton) was a second-time All-New England honoree, the first time as an individual. He place third in the 1,000-meter run with a time of 2:32.33. He was 0.41 seconds shy of winning a New England title.
With the 20 points scored by the three Judges, the Brandeis men finished in 13th place out of 22 teams that scored points at Bates.
On the women's side, senior Kim Farrington (Shirley, Mass./Ayer) took home All-New England honors for the second time in her career in the triple jump. Her distance of 10.66 meters (34 feet, 11 3/4 inches) earned eighth place to just sneak into the scoring column. She reached the distance on her second jump and was able to hang on to the spot. She had previously claimed All-Region honors in the event outdoors in 2011.
Farrington's point helped the Judges finish in a tie for 23rd place with four other schools.
The Judges return to action next weekend at the University Athletic Association championships at Case Western Reserve University.

LONGMONT — After mandatory furloughs for the nation's air traffic controllers took effect Sunday, it didn't take long for an impact to be felt — in Longmont and nationwide.
This week, the 311 air traffic controllers at the Denver Air Route Traffic Control Center in Longmont joined the nearly 15,000 controllers nationwide taking a mandatory day off without pay every two weeks. The furloughs affect all 47,000 employees of the Federal Aviation Administration, including the more than 400 workers at the Longmont facility.
The Denver Center, as the Longmont facility is known, is one of 21 centers around the country, and its controllers are responsible for monitoring the high altitude air traffic over most of Colorado and portions of eight surrounding states.
The FAA has said that, in general, 10 percent of controllers at any given facility will be on furlough every day. The furloughs are part of mandatory budget cuts that kicked in March 1 after Democrats and Republicans missed a deadline to agree on a long-term deficit reduction plan.
Flights around the country were delayed by varying lengths Monday. Delays caused by the furloughs were being felt particularly up and down the East Coast.
Some flights into New York, Baltimore and Washington were delayed by more than two hours because there weren't enough controllers to monitor busy air corridors. One of every five flights at New York's LaGuardia International scheduled to take off before noon Monday was delayed 15 minutes or more, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware. The previous Monday morning, just 2 percent of LaGuardia's flights were delayed. The situation was similar at Washington's Reagan National Airport, in Newark, N.J., and in Philadelphia. Some flights were late by two hours or more.
Monday is typically one of the busiest days at airports with many business travelers setting out for a week on the road.
FAA officials have said they have no choice but to institute furloughs. The FAA has said that planes will have to take off and land less frequently, so as not to overload the remaining controllers on duty.
Critics have said the FAA could reduce its budget in other places that wouldn't delay travelers. But in testimony to Congress in February, FAA administrator Michael Huerta said that because a large portion of the Department of Transportation's budget is exempt from the mandatory cuts, known as sequester, the FAA will be taking more than 60 percent of the DOT cuts even though the agency only accounts for 20 percent of that department's budget.
Some travel groups have warned that the disruptions could hurt the economy.
"If these disruptions unfold as predicted, business travelers will stay home, severely impacting not only the travel industry but the economy overall," the Global Business Travel Association warned Huerta in a letter Friday.
The FAA has also furloughed other critical employees, including airline and airport safety inspectors.
The country's airlines and some lawmakers have suggested the White House is causing misery for fliers to put pressure on Republicans in Congress to rescind the cuts. They say the FAA is ignoring other ways to cut its $16 billion budget. Two airline trade associations and the nation's largest pilots union filed a lawsuit Friday asking the U.S. Court of Appeals to halt the furloughs. No hearing date has been set.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Way it Was Yesterday: Yosemite Valley in Autumn
mentioned in the previous post, we discovered a nice little spot on the Merced River across from the sheer cliff of El Capitan. I don't think I've captured it before mirrored in the river as it is in the photos above.
Yosemite Valley over at Geotripper Images.
The other side of the bridge offers a nice view down the valley towards Yosemite Falls, and on that side another idiot had strung a rope across the river, and was trying to cross the river in a hammock kind of thing. He was having problems with his contraption, and I am glad to report that he sploshed into the river. I would have liked it even more if a ranger had happened by and ticketed him for something or another. Recreation is great, but don't do it in front of the most iconic picture spots in the valley (I'm reminded of the selfish people who linger in Delicate Arch in Arches National Park just as the sun is setting and dozens of people are trying to photograph the span without people mugging for cameras in the middle of it).

Anatomische Strukturen
This module of vet-Anatomy is a basic atlas of normal imaging anatomy of the dog on radiographs. 51 sampled x-ray images of healthy dogs made by Susanne AEB Borofka (PhD - dipl. ECVDI, Utrecht, Netherland) have been categorized topographically into seven chapters (head, vertebral column, thoracic limb, pelvic limb, larynx/pharynx, thorax and abdomen/pelvis).
648 differentiated anatomical legends have been added by Antoine Micheau (MD, Montpellier, France), separated in different colors to improve the survey and the identification of searched structures on each radiograph.
Terms are labeled using the Latin terms defined in the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (fifth edition - 2012 by ICVGAN). They have been translated into english and french by Antoine Micheau - MD, Imaios

So it's out! CLAMP's wedding dress designed based on CardCaptor Sakura. And they featured Sakura and Chii wearing it, just like I wanted them to. They would have anyway.
Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong: it's a very cute dress, but this clearly isn't a wedding dress. It definitely looks wedding-related on Sakura in the art panel, but the real life version just looks like a one of the nicer cosplay costumes of Chii's outfits from Chobits, not at all like an actual wedding dress. This is actually more like a bridesmaid's outfit, not the bride's outfit. This could've been a side piece, in addition to the actual dress.
I was expecting something more 华丽. It's really CLAMP's Chobits/CCS style but if you're going to design an actual wedding dress you'd make it much longer and less cutesy, wouldn't you? It's supposed to be a bridal gown, not a bridesmaid's outfit. I can't really see anybody getting married in this.
At least it looks cuter worn on the model.
This is really pretty, though. They really should just make another wedding dress with a full skirt and incorporate this into the design. That, I think, would be a gorgeous wedding dress and perfect for an CLAMP-crazy otaku couple to get married in! ^_^

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's basketball head coach Phil Stern has signed Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Junior/Community College Player of the Year finalist Capree Garner (Silver Spring, Md./Springbrook) to a National Letter of Intent.
Garner was the nation's leader in scoring in 2013-14, averaging 28.1 points per game, en route to becoming the MD JUCO all-time leader in points (1,497) and steals (246). The 5-7 sophomore guard was one of three finalists for the top JUCO honor and earned All-America First Team honors from the WBCA. She shot 45.6 percent from the floor, chipped in 8.8 rebounds, 4.1 steals and 3.7 assists to earn her second straight All-MD JUCO First Team recognition and help her team to the NJCAA Division I District Tournament Semifinals.
As a freshman, Garner led the MD JUCO conference and ranked third nationally with 22.5 points per game, as well as leading the league with a 53.9 field goal percentage. She scored double-figures in all 29 games, in addition to posting seven double-doubles and two triple-doubles. The Silver Spring, Md., native was named to the WBCA Junior College and NJCAA All-American Honorable Mention Teams.
During her time at Springbrook High School, Garner was named to the All-Gazette First Team and was an All-Washington Post Honorable Mention. She was a two-time team MVP and finished her career as a 1,000-point scorer.
"Capree is a prolific scorer," Stern said. "She gets her points off of hard work and being in the right spot. She is a tremendous addition to our program and will make an immediate impact.
"I am thrilled that another local star has decided to stay home and play at UMBC," said Stern.
UMBC announced that addition of local talents in transfers Pandora Wilson (Gaithersburg, Md./Academy of Holy Cross) and Infiniti Alston (Baltimore, Md./Digital Harbor) last month as Stern and the Retrievers look to make some noise in the America East in 2014-15 campaign.

MILAN (Reuters) - Italian shares and bonds lost earlier gains after election projections showed former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's conservative bloc leading in the Senate, contradicting initial exit polls and raising the specter of deadlock in parliament.
While polls indicated the center-left should win the lower house, projections based on early vote counts from television channels pointed to a victory for media tycoon Berlusconi in the key region of Lombardy, which holds the key to controlling the upper house. The situation remained confused, however.
"I was bowled over by the magnitude of the turnaround. It all seems a bit excessive to me and so I think we should wait," a Milan fund manager said after a buying run immediately after polls showed the left ahead in both houses had been reversed.
"It's clear that from a foreign investor point of view they're very concerned about political instability and forming a government that can push through pro-growth policies in Italy and in Europe," the fund manager said.
"It's an emotive reaction."
State television RAI said Berlusconi's bloc was ahead with 31.6 percent in the Senate, with the center-left at 29.4 percent. Beppe Grillo's protest 5-Star-Movement was at 24.9 percent, on course to be the biggest single party.
The centrist party of technocrat Prime Minister Mario Monti, the darling of international investors, stood at 9.2 percent.
Initial telephone polls published when voting ended at 3 p.m. (1400 GMT) had put the center-left Democrats (PD) on course for full control and the later, conflicting signals led to highly volatile trading as investors fretted over the prospect of political gridlock in the euro zone's third largest economy.
The Milan blue-chip index closed up 0.73 percent at 1630 GMT, having earlier gained nearly 4 percent.
The spread between Italian 10-year government bonds and equivalent German Bunds widened back to 280 basis points after earlier dipping below 255 basis points.
The market had initially soared on hopes of a clear-cut outcome, which would have created scope to push through reforms to revive Italy's recession-hit economy.
"The market's initial reaction was too optimistic. We thought the PD would have won a majority in the lower house, and that's a given. But the Senate is still up in the air, region by region," said Alberto Gallo, credit strategist with Royal Bank of Scotland.
"If the PD gets 156 seats in the Senate but Monti in several regions doesn't win the minimum 8 percent of the vote then even a PD-Monti alliance would have a very thin majority, something which the market would not like."
The euro pared gains against the dollar and the yen in the wake of the Italian election projection, with forex traders closely following political developments in Italy, the euro zone's third-largest economy.
UniCredit, which had led an Italian bank rally with gains of more than 8 percent, erased all gains. Berlusconi's Mediaset, which had suffered losses in the run-up the elections, was up 1.43 percent.
Opinion polls before the vote and a low turnout on the first day of voting on Sunday prompted some traders to place bets already earlier on the day on a victory for the center-left Democratic Party (PD) of Bersani in coalition with Monti.
Heavy snow in several Italian cities and bad weather elsewhere kept some voters away from polling stations on Sunday, when turnout was around 55 percent, down from 62.5 percent at a previous election.
Earlier on Monday, the Italian Treasury paid slightly higher borrowing costs to sell 4.07 billion euros - near the top of its targeted amount - of 2-year zero-coupon bonds and inflation-linked BTPs.

The last two weeks have been hard since my old computer died a slow death with a deteriorating hard drive. Fortunately all the data was recoverable, and I didn't need to use my cloud storage or my external hard drive storage. It took days to move the data (literally) since we have many gigs of photos and documents. It took a professional to do all the fine tuning, which is fine by me since I wanted it done fast and "right the first time".
Thank goodness for pre-posting two weeks of blog posts ahead of time!
Several emails and messages kept me busy on my laptop while all this was happening. First, Jeanie at The Family Connection blog http://www.jeaniesgenealogy.com/ wrote to me about my blog post "John Locke ~ He Cut Off an Indian's Nose with his Scythe" at this link: http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2012/07/john-locke-he-cut-off-indians-nose-with.html
She questioned my statement that John Locke was not married to Elizabeth Berry. She was correct, and I was wrong in my post. John Locke definitely did marry Elizabeth Berry, daughter of William and Jane Berry, about 1652. I was thinking of statements seen all over the internet that his wife was Elizabeth BOLLES or BOWLES. See, I almost perpetuated that myth with my boo boo. Sorry, Jeanie, but thanks for making the comment so I could correct the blog post!
I had my guest blogger Bette Pye Wing write up a second blog post about Fort Banks, Winthrop, Massachusetts at this link: http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2012/07/fort-banks-winthrop-massachusetts.html . She will be creating her own genealogy blog soon, and it will be titled "The Pye Plate" (cute name 'eh?) I've never met Bette, but she is a cousin to a very good friend. Bette's research on her lineage to the Mayflower passenger Stephen Hopkins helped me to complete an application for membership for my friend's Mom just two year before she passed away. She was thrilled to become a member, even though she was only a member for a very short time. Now her children and grandchildren and descendants will be able to apply for member in the Society of Mayflower Descendants, all due to Bette's hard work.
I also heard from Paul A. Clark, who is researching Esther Wines, wife of Nicholas Hodson, married about 1639. He is looking for a connection to the Wincoll family and is also looking for a will written by a cousin with the fantastic name of "Faintnot Wines" from Charlestown, Massachusetts. This will mentions the cousin connections. Has anyone out there done any research on the WINCOLL or WINES families?
A mysterious message by " Fr. Garcelon" left me a link to a GARCELON family tree on an excel spreadsheet. Thanks, for the link and I have checked out the large pedigree chart! I know I haven't blogged about this family, but I did leave a message on a bulletin board a few years ago when I was looking for information on a Peter James Garcelon who married my third cousin Anna M. Wilkinson on 14 August 1875 in La Grange, Maine. The pedigree chart was very helpful.
I am finding Connecticut research maddening. There are two Charlotte Mathers (a daughter in law and her mother in law) who appear to have flown under the radar and their records do not appear in any of the usual places for vital records. I've never done any research in Connecticut before. I hope I don't have to make a trip down there! Help! Any research tips or RAOGK would be appreciated now. Maybe now that I have my computer I can write to a dozen possible towns clerks for information!
Surprise, surprise! A very odd bunch of websites related to metal detecting have been referring readers to my blog. I clicked on one of the links that showed up on my statistics page, and there was a running thread on a forum for metal detectors. It seems that someone dug up a metal medallion related to an anniversary for the city of Springfield, Massachusetts. On the front of this medallion was an image of Samuel Chapin, one of the city founders. There is a large statue of Chapin in Springfield, and I blogged about it during the last NERGC conference in Springfield (see this link: http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2011/04/mini-chapin-reunion.html) My blog post and the accompanying photograph helped the hobbyists identify the medallion and the image of my 10 x Great Grandfather, Deacon Samuel Chapin. You never know, do you, where all this blogging will lead?
For the truly curious:

Reflections of a life lived
Album 3
on photos below to enlarge.]
[April 29, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
This painting hangs in the ground-floor
gallery of the new museum. At the old museum it held a prominent
spot on the east wall. In the new museum it is equally dominant in
the room, catching the eye quickly.
The piece was done by artist
Sacha Newley and donated to the Lincoln Heritage Museum in 2008.
Entitled "The Head of Lincoln," it depicts Abraham Lincoln and
includes the words of the Gettysburg Address as a backdrop.
Art is created for a variety
of reasons, among them to please the eye or to evoke an emotion. This
painting catches the eye and draws the viewer into it through its
use of light, dark and texture. For some, the emotion it evokes,
though, is not as much pleasure as it is sadness.
This is more than fitting, as throughout Lincoln's life he was
plagued with sadness and pain. Born in Kentucky, he
lived a meager life and lacked many of the creature comforts even of that
day. He suffered the loss of his mother and was sorrowed deeply by
this. He longed for education, but was denied that as he was made to
work and help with the financial support of his family. He was not
particularly successful in the romance department of his life until
he met Mary Todd. He suffered deeply over the inhumanities of the
era and grieved for those bound in slavery.
As a president, he reached the
highest pinnacle of his political career, but the joy that should
have been there was swiftly dashed away by war. He labored over
every decision and suffered greatly when knowing those decisions would
lead to mothers burying their young sons before they had a chance to
really live their lives.
On the main floor of
the new museum, visitors can walk through the life of Abraham Lincoln,
seeing what he saw as a young man. The displays draw attention
to his life and relationships in Logan County, his efforts as a
young politician, a son, husband, father and finally the father of
our nation.

The region was once the domain of the Mohegan Chief Uncas. The name Mashamoquet is Indian for "stream of good fishing" and originally was applied to the entire area. Later, Captain John Sabin built a house here to serve as an outpost and the settlement gradually increased in size. In 1723, parish and township privileges were granted and the town became Pomfret, named after Pontefract in Yorkshire, England.
The present park area is actually a combination of three parks: the original Mashamoquet Brook, Wolf Den and Saptree Run. A large portion of the park was public domain even prior to the State Park and Forest Commission's creation in 1914 due to the foresight of the Daughters of the American Revolution who had purchased the Wolf Den parcel in 1899. The State purchased this section from them in 1924 for the original 1899 price and added it to the first Mashamoquet Brook parcel which had been a gift of former Pomfret resident Sarah Fay. These areas, other purchases, and gifts (notably, in 1957, the 148 acre Hotchkins Wolf Den Farm parcel) have been combined to form the present park, which is over 1000 acres.
The most famous feature is the Wolf Den into which, on a night in 1742, Israel Putnam crept and shot a wolf that for years had preyed upon local sheep and poultry. Israel Putnam was later to gain fame as a Major General in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.
Near the Den are the Table Rock and Indian Chair natural stone formations. The Indian Chair is a wide seat-shaped ledge. In the section that is now the entrance to Mashamoquet Brook State Park, there once operated a cider mill, grist mill and wagon shop. The mill dam and pond went out during the flood of 1938. Now only the grist mill is still in existence. It is maintained as a museum by the Pomfret Historical Society. The mill is open on a regular basis and staffed by members of the Historical Society who provide interpretation for all interested visitors.

A group of men stole a vehicle in Waverly, then joined up with another group and cruised around North Baltimore, robbing joggers of their cell phones, police reports say.
The incidents were reported to police about an hour apart, with victims describing being boxed in by youths driving a dark-colored sedan and a second group in a white SUV, which had been reported stolen at about 6 a.m. on Aug. 2.
In one of the incidents, the victim reported seeing an attacker clutching a Taser, and in a second the victim's own pepper spray was snatched out of her hand and pointed at her when she refused to turn over her phone.
"The suspects have not yet been arrested, however, detectives believe they have some good leads," said Det. Jeremy Silbert, a police spokesman.
Northern District Maj. Kimberly Burrus did not respond to a request for comment.
The first occurred at about 6:10 a.m. in Wyman Park. A 43-year-old man was out jogging when he was thrown to the ground by two youths that had jumped out of the sedan. As he tried to run in another direction, a white Tahoe came around the corner and two men got out of the vehicle.
He was punched repeatedly and his iPhone was taken. The attackers spotted a woman walking her dog and took off running, the report shows.
At 6:15 a.m., a 54-year-old woman told police she was walking south in the 4800 block of Roland Ave. in Roland Park when a white SUV and a black four-door sedan passed her traveling north. Both vehicles made an abrupt U-turn.
The woman told police she was tying her shoe when a male approached holding a Taser, telling her to "kick it." She handed over her Samsung cell phone, and they fled.
Police next responded to the 5500 block of N. Charles St., where a woman said she was jogging in front of the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen when she noticed the white SUV and the sedan. She told police that she believed the cars were following her, and she tried to speed up and change directions.
The driver of the SUV and his passenger got out of the vehicle and demanded that she hand over her phone. When she resisted, another male grabbed pepper spray out of her hand, pointed it at her, and said, "Give me your [expletive] phone or I'm going to kill you."
A fourth robbery was reported to police around 7:25 a.m., in the 2800 block of Saint Lo Dr. in the Northeast District. Silbert said the victim was walking in the block when four males got out of the SUV, assaulted him, and took property. A dark sedan was seen behind the SUV, Silbert said.
A police report shows the white Tahoe was stolen from the 900 block of Montpelier St. Police also believe the sedan was used in a series of robberies of 7-11 stores.

Man who threw shoe at Hekmatyar released
Man who threw shoe at Hekmatyar released
HEART CITY (Pajhwok): Abdul Wahid Dadshani, the man who threw a shoe at Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, has been released from the National Directorate of Security (NDS)'s detention following a protest rally seeking his release in western Herat province.
Hekmatyar, the Hezb-i-Islami Islami Afghanistan (HIA) chief , was delivering sermon before last Friday's prayers at the main mosque in Herat City, the provincial capital, when the man threw one of his shoes at him. Gulbuddin pardoned the man who had been arrested by security forces.
After spending five days in detention, Dadshani was released on Tuesday following a protest involving many people in front of the governor's house here.
The protestors insisted that the detention of Dadshani was against the law. Aziza Khair Andish, a civil society activist who took part in the protest, said no one had the right to arrest a protesting person.
"People and the civil society believe Dadshani's act was a protest and there is no punishment for such acts in the law so his detention is against the law and he should be released," she said.
Ghulam Hazrat, another protestor, said: "Gulbuddin has committed many crimes in Afghanistan but only innocent people are imprisoned, we ask the government to release Dadshani as soon as possible."
Meanwhile, Abdul Samad Dadshani, brother of Abdul Wahid Dadshani, said Hekmatyar had forgiven his brother and the government should release him.
"My brother told me that he is pardoned, so why the NDS is keeping him in jail," he said.
The governor's spokesman, Jilani Farhad, told Pajhwok Afghan News that Dadshani had been released from the NDS jail.
"Intelligence officials after completing their investigations about Dadshani released him today and he has reunited with his family," he said.
Meanwhile, Abdul Aziz Wasiq, a cousin of Dadshani, also said that he was home now. He said Dadshani was not ill-treated during his detention.

C. Carpenter's future unclear as free agency looms
Cardinals veterans Beltran, Mujica, Furcal also eligible to sign elsewhere
BOSTON -- Chris Carpenter may have taken his final ground balls in a Cardinals uniform.
You read that right. Carpenter, the 38-year-old free agent-to-be is known much more for work on the mound over nine Cardinals seasons, but was sidelined in 2013 by shoulder woes and active in this postseason only as a vocal, laughing middle infielder during batting practice.
A 6-1 loss to the Red Sox in Game 6 of the World Series meant no more batting practice.
Did Carpenter appear at peace if this was the end of his playing career?
"I think so," said his protégé, Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright. "I think if you asked him before he tried to come back this year, he would have said no. But after he tried and it didn't work again, I think he would say yes."
The Cardinals announced early in 2013 that Carpenter would not be able to pitch all year because of side effects of thoracic outlet syndrome, an ailment that ruined Carpenter's last two seasons. He tried a comeback anyway, but called it off after a setback in July.
Now he is one of the Cardinals' highest-profile free agents, along with outfielder Carlos Beltran, erstwhile closer Edward Mujica and injured shortstop Rafael Furcal. Right-hander Jake Westbrook will join the list if the Cardinals decline their half of his $9.5 million mutual option.
Carpenter did not speak to reporters on Wednesday about his future. He said last week that he would wait until the season ended to discuss with his family whether to try another comeback. His agent, Bob LaMonte, told the Boston Globe earlier this month he expected Carpenter to retire and would consider a position in the Cardinals' front office.
"He's been a face of this clubhouse for nine years now, just a great guy, a great mentor, a huge, vast library of knowledge about pitching," Wainwright said. "It will always hurt to lose a guy like that. Really, it will.
"Luckily, we have some tremendous studs to take that place, but I don't think you can ever take the place of a guy in every area like him."
Carpenter was 95-44 with a 3.07 ERA in 197 starts and one relief appearance for St. Louis during the regular season. He was also 10-4 with a 3.00 ERA in 18 postseason starts, all with the Cardinals.
His impact extended beyond the pitching staff.
"He's a guy that I've admired ever since I stepped foot in this clubhouse," said David Freese. "He's a true gamer, a hell of a talent, the ultimate gamer. It's going to be tough, but hopefully he sticks around a little bit and comes around a yard. We would appreciate that.
"We went around and talked to everybody and handed our hugs and everything. [Carpenter] is probably just soaking it in. A guy like Jake, too. He's done, and it's hard on them, for sure."
Said reliever Jason Motte, who also sat out the season with an injury: "What it comes down to is 'Carp' is a huge deal here. He's done a lot for this organization. He came in this year and when we knew he wasn't going to be here, we had guys step up and fill that role. It was a similar thing with me [being injured]; it's not who you don't have, it's who you have, the 25 guys you've got to play ball."
Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak conceded that Carpenter may not be one of those guys.
"It's going to be hard because of what he has meant to us and just his identity of being with this organization," Mozeliak said. "Clearly, he didn't play this year, so this team was built without him. But I do think part of what he brought to the table will be missed."
Mujica, 29, expressed optimism about a return after posting a 2.78 ERA and 37 saves in 65 appearances, most of them as the closer until Trevor Rosenthal took over in late September. The Cardinals appear set at that spot with Rosenthal or Motte, but Mujica said he expected an offer.
"We have to wait, maybe Monday we're going to have the first conversation about it and see what they can do," Mujica said. "They say they are going to make an offer. Let's see."
Asked whether he would prefer a situation where he was the clear closer, Mujica said, "I don't know. I love it. They gave me the opportunity and I liked that job. A few teams need those guys, and I'm going to be available in the market."
The Cardinals also have a handful of arbitration-eligible players who could be non-tendered, including relievers John Axford and Fernando Salas and catcher Rob Johnson. Only Axford, acquired in August from the Brewers, was on the club's World Series roster.
"Over the last few days we've talked a lot about this club, but we've also talked a lot about the future," Mozeliak said. "Where my head is right now, I've already somewhat turned the page as far as already thinking about what we need to do for next year. Next week, free agency opens, so you have to be prepared."
"That's one of the hardest parts about it, that you get so close to guys throughout the whole season, and the traveling, you get to know everybody extremely well," infielder Allen Craig said. "On the other side, baseball is a business, and some guys won't be back next year. That's the hardest part."

Here's a piece I penned that appears in tomorrow's Ottawa Citizen.
The Liberal party sure likes things complicated
There's an earworm and an allegory snaking their way around my head as I ponder the most recent drama in the Liberal Party of Canada. The earworm comes courtesy of Avril Lavigne: Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? And the allegory? Why, it comes from The Scorpion and the Frog: "It's my nature ..."
Having been involved with the Liberal party in the lowest and the highest organizational capacities over a really long period of time, I can attest to the endless machinations of reforming and democratizing, with an outcome that almost always disappoints or gets reversed when it no longer suits. It always seems to be one step forward two steps back. With luck, this time will finally be different.
In the early '80s a group of Young Liberals pushed for a lengthy reform process that saw among other things a diminution of the weight of party elites in party decision making. For example, senators and members of the appointed revenue committee were no longer to be delegates to conventions. At the first convention where the delegation would have been thusly composed, the 1990 leadership, the party took the highly democratically questionable step of reinstating those delegates through a retroactive constitutional amendment. The day before the voting began, these people were not delegates. The day of the vote, they were.
Who this was fair to, or unfair to, didn't really seem to matter. Average party members had made a decision that didn't work for the elites and vested interests, and that just wouldn't do.
After two extremely long and divisive leadership races in 1989-'90 and 2006, and another aborted one in 2008-'09, party members decided that future leadership contests would be reasonably short, and so when Michael Ignatieff decided two days after the election last year to step down, I and others thought: Finally! We know exactly what's up, and everyone will be on an equal footing. We will have a leadership vote no later than October and then get down to the brass tacks of rebuilding, unfettered by leadership sniping and with a good four years to heal and strengthen.
But some didn't think that was the right way to go, and constitutions hadn't stood in the way before. It's just that this time, according those in charge (the infamous "National Board") the party wanted and deserved an "unprecedented" national consultation because the last democratic decision made by the party, well, just didn't suit the current circumstances.
An "extraordinary" convention was called and held to change the timing of the leadership contest. But this is only part of the story.
It's true that there were people calling for consultations on the leadership process and timing. But some were also calling for those consultations to include the appointment of an interim leader. It only made sense, if you are going to democratize major decisions beyond the constitution due to circumstance, this one should be democratized too.
Clearly, after the circumstances surrounding the appointment of the previous interim leader, Michael Ignatieff, which many felt had contributed to the tainting (or solidifying depending on your point of view) of the Liberal "brand," this was the one area where a greater say from the party's proletariat was called for. But here, the board chose not to consult, and to keep the process and decision to themselves, as was their entitlement.
And they did so with the inclusion of the famous "conditions," two of which many believed were directed at excluding, specifically, the candidacy of one individual, Bob Rae: those of non-complicity with the NDP and agreement not to seek the permanent leadership.
At the time, when these two decisions were coinciding, Rae implored the party, saying that if he was to accept the interim leadership under the proposed conditions, he would need time to rebuild the party and basically make it leader-worthy. According to one report at the time, "Rae laid down a condition of his own. He said he's only interested in being interim leader if the vote for permanent leader is put off for 18 to 24 months."
And so Bob Rae became interim leader and the leadership was put off for gee — 22 months from the decision and 18 from when the leadership would have been. But circumstances changed. Jack Layton's passing resulted in a leadership race of its own and increased focus on the NDP. People said the leadership was too far away. Bob Rae did such a superb job that the party brass were under intense pressure to change the process again. Media focus increased and the party became increasingly fragile and divided. And, then finally, someone decided for once to do the right thing and stick with the program.
Here another earworm invades. This time it's Alanis. Ironic, isn't it?

The Differences Between Tattoo ink, Pen ink and Printer ink
Ink is ink right? Wrong! Contrary to popular belief, there are various types of ink out there that all perform many different functions. Getting in the know about what types of inks are out there will certainly give you kudos points amongst you're friends, not many people know this stuff!
According to a survey undertaken in February 2012 by Harris Interactive, a staggering 42% of US citizens admit to having at least one tattoo, now that is certainly a lot of ink! The origins of tattoo ink stem back thousands of years ago and have since evolved into the increasingly popular artist's aid that it is today.
Most recent variations include UV light tattoos which create glow-in-the-dark body art work and easily removable permanent tattoos that can be erased with just a couple of laser sessions, as opposed to the laborious procedure of yesteryear which required near to 12 laser treatments to achieve results.
Despite its evident popularity tattoo ink has not been without its problems. Due to the fact that the substance is not regulated in the US, tattoo artists are given free rein to alter ink formulas, which can then lead to difficulty in distinguishing the exact components that make up certain tattoo inks. Traditionally, tattoo inks are made up of anti-fade and smudge components; no one wants to pay for a tattoo that will come off in the shower do they! However this often results in heavy and potentially harmful components such as particular metals, alcohols and chemicals being used.
A far cry from the arguably exciting nature of tattoo ink, the humble pen ink has a standardized formula and is heavily regulated in the US meaning this formula cannot be tampered with by different manufactures. Unlike tattoo ink, pen ink commonly uses dyes as opposed to pigments due to their ability to not clot or dry inside the actual pen.
Mirroring the vast differences between tattoo and pen ink, the ever useful printer ink certainly follows suit. Unlike tattoo ink with its often unknown elements, it is widely accepted that Printer ink is made up of four components colorants, binders, additives and carrier substances. However, similar to tattoo and pen ink, printer ink can be split into two categories: dye-based and pigment-based both of which offer different finishes and host their own benefits.
The type of printer will determine whether a dye-based or pigment-based ink is to be used which is ultimately important to remember. Nothing can be more annoying than purchasing ink that won't work for your printer.
The differences between all these three ink types are clear and interesting to see. What's even more interesting is to see the ways in which ink and its uses will evolve over the years to come. Who knows what ink could be used for in 10 years' time, watch this space!

(AP) - A state appeals court upheld a proposed route for California's bullet train project connecting the San Francisco Bay Area to the Central Valley.
The decision issued Thursday is a short-term win for Gov. Jerry Brown, who has made the $68-billion project a priority.
The original lawsuit filed by Bay Area cities had argued that a planned path through the Pachecho Pass hurts the environment.
The state argued the project was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act because of federal oversight.Thursday's court decision left the project open to other environmental lawsuits.
Plaintiffs' attorney Stuart Flashman says it's not clear if his clients will appeal. He says the authority still has a lot of hurdles ahead.
The appeals court is expected to rule on two other high-speed rail challenges.

Six Miracles Already Reported During Pope's UK Visit
The Guardian is running a map during Pope Benedict's visit to the UK where people can report seeing the Popemobile, masses, protests and miracles. One user in north London reported seeing a "Cloud that looked like the Pope. I wept."
The Guardian CrowdMap has so far received 77 reports, 35% of which it says are verified. Well, the paper is getting what it asked for. Here are some more accounts from the CrowdMap:
As the popemobile drove down Princes Street in Edinburgh, one tweeter, @shrimpin, wrote: "Nothing says 'I have faith in God' quite like three inches of bulletproof glass."
Another, @gregjames, added: "Whatever you may think of the pope's visit, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we'd all like a go in his little car."
Others have sent in pictures and one person reported a "miracle" after seeing municipal workers in Birmingham painting dried up grass a brighter green. Another person found a pepper that looks like Jesus.
In other Vatican vacation news, the Pope has pissed off quite a few people by equating the spread of "atheist extremism" with the rise of Nazi Germany:
Even in our own lifetimes we can recall how Britain and her leaders stood against a Nazi tyranny that wished to eradicate God from society and denied our common humanity to many, especially the Jews, who were thought unfit to live.
"As we reflect on the sobering lessons of atheist extremism of the 20th century, let us never forget how the exclusion of God, religion and virtue from public life leads ultimately to a truncated vision of man and of society and thus a reductive vision of a person and his destiny."

Pottery & Porcelain Marks – Crescent: Marks shaped like crescents first appeared in the late 19th century. They have both simple (rough sketch of a crescent with line borders) and more elaborate (detailed borders, with stars, company name and/or city) designs. While most of the crescents face to the right, some face top to bottom. There are also marks of two crescents locked together, facing opposite directions.

Phillip A. Sharp, a world leader of research in molecular biology and biochemistry and an institute professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been named winner of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Herbert Tabor/Journal of Biological Chemistry Lectureship. Sharp will give his award lecture, titled "The Biology of Small RNAs," at 6 p.m. Saturday, April 24, at the 2010 annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif.
Sharp's research interests have centered on the molecular biology of gene expression relevant to cancer and the mechanisms of RNA splicing. His landmark achievement was the discovery of RNA splicing in 1977, for which he shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Richard J. Roberts.
"Phil's work has been characterized by a remarkable creativity— he has literally broken open whole new fields— and also by an equally remarkable track record for training outstanding scientists," said ASBMB President Gregory A. Petsko. "I can personally testify to his willingness to help young colleagues and to the generosity with which he has given his time to numerous good causes. He is a shining example of what a senior scientist should be."
Currently, Sharp has turned his attention to understanding RNA interference, the process by which RNA molecules act as switches to turn genes on and off. This recently discovered phenomenon has revolutionized biology and could potentially generate a new class of therapeutics.
Sharp did his undergraduate studies at Union College in Barbourville, Ky., where he majored in chemistry and mathematics, then completed his Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1969, studying under noted physical chemist Victor Bloomfield.
While at the University of Illinois, Sharp read the 1966 volume of the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Quantitative Biology, titled "The Genetic Code," and became interested in molecular biology and genetics. He subsequently obtained a postdoctoral fellowship at the California Institute of Technology, where he studied the structure of sex factor and drug resistance plasmids in bacteria. In 1971, Sharp began a second postdoc, studying gene expression at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory under the renowned James D. Watson.

In 1974, Sharp joined MIT's Center for Cancer Research, now known as the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, and has remained on the MIT campus ever since. He has held numerous leadership positions along the way: He was director of the Center for Cancer Research from 1985 to 1991, head of the biology department from 1991 to 1999 and director of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research from 2000 to 2004.
Sharp, who has authored more than 350 scientific papers, has received numerous awards and honorary degrees and has served on advisory boards for the government, academic institutions, scientific societies and companies. His other awards include the Gairdner Foundation International Award, the General Motors Research Foundation Alfred P. Sloan Jr. Prize for Cancer Research, the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award, the National Medal of Science and the inaugural Double Helix Medal from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Sharp is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.
In addition, Sharp is a co-founder of Biogen (now known as Biogen Idec) and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals.
The Herbert Tabor/Journal of Biological Chemistry Lectureship was established by ASBMB to recognize the many contributions of Herbert Tabor to both the Journal of Biological Chemistry and to the society.

Priority Registration
Each semester there is a special early registration period for matriculated students who were registered for the previous semester. The priority week is determined by the total number of credits earned. Take advantage of your priority week! The Registrar's Office will send you your priority week registration information via your Southern email account. If you have any questions regarding your priority week, contact the Registrar's Office in the Wintergreen building.
Undergraduate Catalog
The Undergraduate Catalog contains important information that is useful to students. Please familiarize yourself with the catalog. The undergraduate university catalog can be found here.
Major Area of Study
We encourage you to begin to explore a major area of study as soon as possible. You are not limited to any major and may change your major at any time. However, do not adopt the narrow perspective of only focusing on the university's "general requirements." If this is done for the first three to four semesters, you will find yourself with only major area courses and a few electives that need to be taken. Many major course areas need prerequisites, or only a selected few of the courses may be offered during a particular semester. This situation could postpone your graduation.

I didn't have too many problems with the PC controls, but it is a little awkward at first. The game is more defense focused than I figured, so I think the controls have been built with that in mind. This isn't Diablo where you just rend armies asunder with powerful spells and attacks. This is more deliberate and paced. Honestly, I was surprised by the demo and enjoyed it quite a bit. Whether or not that gameplay can hold up for twenty hours is another story.

Need for Speed World introduced its first "premium elite" car and, yeah, based on the sticker price, we'd say it qualifies. The Koenigsegg CCX Elite Edition is on sale in the in-game store for $100. But wait! If you act now, you can get this car for only $75! They'll even throw in a passenger-side floormat (I think.)
EA announced the item's availability on Wednesday; Need for Speed World is the free-to-play PC racer that launched last year but, as you can surmise, that doesn't mean everything is free. EA's gotta make its money back somehow, and it looks like selling vanity items to whales is one way to do it.
It's possible, of course, to play that game without the Koenigsegg CCX Elite Edition, but I'm not sure what the standard rides are. The game is set in Rockport from Need for Speed: Most Wanted (which was, in fairness, a great entry in this series) and the Palmont city streets from Need for Speed: Carbon.

From GENE LOGSDON
Every year in the brown, sere days before the great greening in spring, I begin to have doubts. Will the flowers come again? Will the birds return? Will the trees leaf out? With all the despair and calamity rife in the world, the ancient fear that the end is near is as believable as ever.
Perhaps global warming will burn us up.
Oh no, it's global cooling on the way. Watch out for glaciers.
No, no. The real fear is bombs and chemicals.
Not to worry. Disease outbreaks will get us before that.
Going into March I am gripped by a madness that has nothing to do with basketball. I am torn between despair over a political process descending into lunacy and an economic process that guarantees only an ever-growing poverty class. I am glad I do not know how to tie a rope into a noose.
Then I look out the window one morning and see the great miracle. Snowdrops are blooming by the house wall. I blink my eyes and shake my head. They are still there. In a few more days they are joined by winter aconites, merry yellow jewels against the melting snow. Slowly but surely all the spring wildflowers return— actually this unusually warm spring, they came fast and furiously— and I feel that great uprising of joy and hope once again. Nature does not renege on her promises.
The resilience and stability of nature is amazing and we often miss it because the news of the day focuses on the failures and threats, not on the successes. In all the earth-shaking changes that have shattered our sense of security over the past forty years or so, here on our farm, right here, the state of wild nature is remarkably little changed. There is less woodland but what remains is growing trees like it always has. And new patches of forest are on the march on "marginal land" where industrial farming is no longer profitable. In the last hundred years, roughly during my lifetime, we have lost only one bird that I am aware of: the little bobolink of the pastures fields. It left us when most of the pastures were plowed up. But amazingly, the meadowlark remains. And I have a strong hunch that if pasture farming continues to grow, the bobolink will return. It lives its merry life yet on the Amish farms not so far away in eastern Ohio, just waiting to move back in here.
The biggest change is in the creek. I don't see as many black snakes, frogs, minnows and turtles as I used to. But they have taken up residence in the scores of farm ponds that have been built in recent years. The streambed springs that feed the creek miraculously hang on although uphill springs have long since dried up. A few fresh water mussels remain in the creek, another miracle.
We lost the bobolink, but gained the bald eagle. One year the tufted titmice disappeared from the feeder but were back the next year. For awhile, the great horned owl left us (I am told because of West Nile virus but I don't know that for sure) but last spring, in those sad days of February, suddenly, at dusk came that old reassuring whoo whoo from the woods. Along the edge of one of our woodlots, the red-headed woodpeckers still flash from roadside electric pole into the woods and back again as I have watched them do all my life.
It is hard for many people to believe, but actually, in the forgotten and ignored rough and tumble patches of land between the cornfields, where tractors can't reach, nature is gaining on human civilization. There are hundreds of deer now where in my childhood there were none. Coyotes, new here, are everywhere, eating, among other things, fawns and young groundhogs, keeping both those species from overrunning us. Raccoons continue to take their deadly toll of the bird population, but surprisingly there are more bluebirds now than ever. In the spring, the migrating birds come through as they always have, enduring perilous journeys thousands of miles long from the tropics to the arboreal forests. That alone is some kind of miracle.
It sounds corny, but if we will relax, withdraw a little from the clamor, and sink into the arms of nature with observant eyes, things are not as bad as they appear to be on the news. Keep reminding yourself. The snowdrops have come again.

While children often look forward to Christmas as their favorite day of the year, many adults say Thanksgiving is tops.
Among those counting the uniquely American holiday as their favorite day of the year is Realtor Christina Meinen as she looks forward to spending time with family.
Grayton's DeLene Sholes agrees and is looking forward to family and friends gathering at a river house.
"The main dishes are assigned and everyone brings a dish so that everyone's favorite is served," she said. "Tables on the porch overlook the river and are decorated with flowers and leaves gathered from outside. We hold hands and thank God for our many blessings. It's my favorite holiday."
The day is also Sandestin's Kent and Peggy Lillie's favorite. "We always include in our blessing 'those great Americans who can't be with their families as they are at risk around the world, protecting our country.' Then we always overeat, especially turkey and pumpkin pie!" said Kent.
Eastern Lake's Lane Rees looks forward to family fellowship, as does Chef Giovanni Filippone, and Attorney Ed Walborsky. Artist Debbie Weant always spends the day with her mama.
For 33 years, Freeport's Bill Stephenson's immediate and extended family has ventured to a state park for a family holiday celebration. There have been as few as a dozen people available to attend and as many as 40 attending. They have met at state parks in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida. Family activities have included hiking, snowsleding, fishing, arts and crafts, reading, spoiling the youngsters, golf, swimming, cooking, eating, and relaxing.
In addition to time spent with family, Thanksgiving also conjures up thoughts of special foods.
In addition to time with family, Seagrove's Donnelle Clark especially looks forward to eating ambrosia on Thanksgiving Day, which is made with her grandmother's recipe and eaten with a piece of coconut cake made with fresh grated coconut.
When family and visitors ask Gulf Place's Bill Freeze the best place in the area to eat, he always says "my house" because Cheryl Freeze is a tremendous cook. So, to give her a holiday and keep her out of the kitchen, he is taking Cheryl, her son and daughter and their children on a cruise to Nassau for Thanksgiving. But on her return she must fix her famous dressing for all, said Bill.
Santa Rosa Beach's Carol Wenrick remembers when her clan all gathered at Mom and Pop's home in New Jersey and Carol did the cooking, but they are both deceased now. In the past 10 years they have gotten together with friends. But last year and this year, they are joining Denny�s sister and her husband at a cabin in the woods; last year in Gatlinburg, and this year northwest Georgia.
As a child, Alys Beach's George Hartley remembers seeing his cousins at his grandparents' house, and, of course, dessert. As an adult, his tradition is seeing all his kids home, and, of course, dessert.
Sandestin's Gerry Christman's tradition is fairly simple: cranberries.
Artist Aaron Sutton says his wife and mother-in-law always make amazing chocolate-chip cookies with chunks of dark chocolate bars rather than regular chips. "They are awesome. A glass of milk and three of those and I'm done!" he said.
Santa Rosa Beach's Beth Coppedge's Thanksgiving tradition is cooking dinner for her entire family (now 18 members) who join Bob and herself from Atlanta. She makes her mom's sausage dressing using the family recipe from the 1800s.
Freeport's Karen Kolenberg's family tradition is to make her great-grandmother's turkey dressing and Waldorf salad together. "It has become a right of passage for the small children," she said. "They start out only being able to tear the bread and graduate to removing the seeds from the grapes, to cutting the grapes in half, to being able to turn the crank on Great Gran's meat grinder. The cooking of the food involves everyone, some good snacks and delicious wine or grape juice as age would dictate."
At Jerry and Doreen Baca's Sandestin house, the tradition is to reflect on everything they have to be thankful for: love, health, family and great friends. "However, we wish we could include saving all the homeless animals in the world, including the turkeys!" said Doreen.
Seagrove's Jane and Greg Bahr have several Thanksgiving Day traditions. Cafe Thirty-A always cooks their turkey, the Bahrs work at Cottages for Kids in Rosemary Beach, then they enjoy a late lunch. "It's always a great day with friends," said Jane.
Thanksgiving is when the Chick and Cathy Huettel clan comes together in Santa Rosa Beach from Memphis and Huntsville. They rotate locations every year and exchange Christmas presents, but not to be opened until Christmas.
Dawn Moliterno's Thanksgiving Day routine includes getting up and watching the Macy�s Day Parade while cooking Thanksgiving dinner at her Sandestin home. After dinner they scout all the shopping deals and rise and shine at 4 a.m. to go get 'em.
Santa Rosa Beach's John Bryant's tradition is attending the annual "Turkey Run" Classic Car event at Daytona International Speedway.
When Santa Rosa Beach's Buz Livingston thinks of Thanksgiving, he thinks of listening to �Alice�s Restaurant.�
"A must for me Thanksgiving morning is to take a long walk by myself or with family on the Western Lake trail," said former Artist of the Year Allison Wickey.
A tradition Realtor Bobby Johnson is thankful for is that he always sells lots every Thanksgiving Day.
Seagrove's Randy Torrey always counts his myriad of blessings, for where he lives and for his health, happiness and safety, and this year he is praying that our great country can turn itself around.
Miramar Beach's Carol Annino said she loves Thanksgiving since it is a time to be with family and share a festive dinner experience. However, the last couple of years she has added something special to the mix. "I love spending Thanksgiving Day serving meals for the homeless at the Waterfront Mission Shelter in Fort Walton Beach. When I get home I truly feel grateful for all the blessings we have," she said.

Looks like Tesla Motors wasn't kidding about the Roadster's 200 mile range: a pair of drivers in Australia set an EV range record of 313 miles (501 kilometers) with a Tesla Roadster in the 10th Annual Global Green Challenge in Australia.
Tesla Roadster owner Simon Hackett and co-driver Emilis Prelgauskas completed the trip on a single charge. The prior record was set back in April, when another Tesla Roadster completed the entire 241-mile Rallye Monte Carlo d'Energies Alternatives race with 38 miles left on the battery. (Source: Tesla)
