Return to Normal (Chocolate Salted Caramel Tart)Posted: December 29, 2014 Filed under: Desserts | Tags: almonds, buttermilk, caramel, chocolate, sea salt, tart Leave a comment
My last post was in August. August, people. I knew it would be hard for me to blog while I was student teaching, but I had no idea I'd all but abandon the blog during that time. It was next to impossible for me to find any time to cook for myself, let alone take photos, write posts, and publish them for you. My apologies for my absence. I'm back now. And so glad to be here.
Student teaching went well; who knew I'd grow so attached to 121 different 8th graders? I remember myself at that age and I recall it being a really tough time in my life. I'm sure it's the same for most people, but to be in it every day for three solid months was a wake-up call, for sure. I had some tough days…days when I thought I just wasn't cut out for teaching, but then those days would wind down and quickly be replaced by really great days in which I felt completely at ease and comfortable in front of the class. Student teaching ended just before Christmas, as well as my graduation. After all this time in school, it's suddenly over. I feel a bit lost, to be honest, but I'm sure I'll find my new normal routine again soon.
There are only two short days left in 2014, a year that had some really wonderful ups and some devastating downs for me. What better way to ring in 2015 than with chocolate and caramel, right? This dessert is SWEET. Now, if you know anything about me, you know that my sweet tooth is quite small, but for those of you who love rich and sweet desserts, this one is for you! I used some buttermilk to replace a little of the heavy cream in the caramel, so it has a bit of a sweet and tangy flavor. I quite like it, but if you are not as partial to buttermilk as I am, go ahead and use all heavy cream.

Summer HiatusPosted: August 29, 2014 Filed under: Entrees | Tags: beans, COOP, eggs, green chiles, Huevos Rancheros Leave a comment
Hello all…
This is just a brief post to let you all know I'm still alive and kicking. I had a jam-packed summer and I can't believe it's over already. I had the chance to work for a couple of months as a prep cook/pastry cook for one of my favorite restaurants (more on that later), and I visited the UK for two weeks in July (again, more on that later).
At the moment I am spending my days as a student teacher in an 8th grade English classroom. My mornings are early, my days are long, and blogging, unfortunately, has been put on the back burner, so-to-speak.
Never fear! I'll get back to it soon. In the meantime, please enjoy a piece I recently wrote for the lovely ladies at COOP.
It's all about quick and delicious (and customizable) weeknight dinners for busy people…more specifically, Huevos Rancheros! Who doesn't love that? Yum!
Linguine with Fresh Spinach, Red Pepper, and LemonPosted: April 7, 2014 Filed under: Entrees, Pasta, Vegetables | Tags: butter, Garlic, lemon, linguine, pasta, red pepper, spinach Leave a comment
I love going to the grocery store; I do it several times a week, if only for a few things. I know, I know, it is poor planning on my part, but I enjoy weaving through the aisles, checking out new and interesting ingredients I may have missed during my previous visit. I recall going to the grocery store with my dad when I was small. He would take a list with everything we needed but inevitably, we'd return home with something he wanted. I remember riding in the cart or walking alongside my dad down every aisle in the grocery store. He'd take his time, selecting a bottle of this, or a jar of that, turning it over in his hands, considering its use, before returning it to the shelf or placing it in our cart. Mom never really knew what he'd bring home. Sometimes it was a jar of pickled herring, sometimes it was a new mustard, and sometimes it was a package of cookies he'd open on the drive home for the two of us to sample.
My Florida Connection via COOPPosted: March 27, 2014 Filed under: COOP | Tags: blog, COOP, Florida, Spring Break, vacation Leave a comment
I'm thrilled to share with you my second installment at COOP. For this post, I highlighted the many wonderful things I love about Florida. My husband is from the Sunshine State and is responsible for introducing me to crab legs, octopus, Gulf oysters, and sandy beaches; I wanted to pass along those experiences on to my best friend, Sophia. So, over Spring Break she and I spent five days enjoying what the Gulf coast of Florida has to offer. I plan to recreate in my own kitchen some of the dishes we enjoyed over our visit. Think: blackened grouper, fresh briny oysters, crab legs, and a refreshing glass of sangria. My Omaha kitchen will soon be my Florida oasis!
Puréed Vegetarian Mulligatawny SoupPosted: March 6, 2014 Filed under: Entrees, Soups, Vegetables | Tags: coconut milk, cumin, Indian food, mulligatawny, puree, soup, vegetables, vegetarian mulligatawny soup Leave a comment
Guys, I'm sick. I caught a beast of a cold earlier this week and I am one grumpy Sara. I'm achy, I've been sneezing, and if I'd known this was coming, I'd have purchased stock in tissues. I've been spending a lot of time in bed, but I'm awake now and before I head back to the warmth of my blankets, I wanted to share this recipe with you. This soup won't cure your cold, but it'll sure make you feel better.

Where can you get concerts by Beyonce, R.Kelly, Kendrick Lamar and comedy shows like Mike Epps and Cedric the Entertainer, listen to seminars on issues like gun violence AND enjoy live music outside WHILE eating delicious local food? THE BET EXPERIENCE! The first ever BET Experience graced its presence in the historical LA Live in DTLA June 28-30th, all happening before the 2013 BET Awards. The extravagant event of limitless things to do was made possible by the partnerships it created.
It all started with the ribbon cutting at the open ceremony where BET's CEO Debra Lee alongside our local politicians and partners got to welcome everyone to the first ever BET Experience stating that it would go down in history. The Fan Fest hosted the BET Pavilion, Centric Pavilion, Music Matters Stage, a Taste of a Taste of Soul, Health & Wellness, Dance 4 Hope, BET & Taste of Soul Community Stage, 106 & Park Stage and a Celebrity Basketball game.
The game featured celebs like Chris Brown, Marques Houston, Columbus Short and Busta Rhymes, Mike Epps, Tyga and Keke Palmer. Clipper's player Matt Barnes was also there participating as a coach for one of the teams. Crowds gathered to the Sprite Basketball Court to watch the celebrity battle go down. They warmed up as the DJ spun some records and started balling out! The Sprite Court also hosted Youth Basketball Clinics, Girls Basketball Clinic featuring Lisa Leslie, Sprite All-Star SlamDunkers, Drumline Competition judged by celebrity judges and Dance 4 Hope.
A Taste of a Taste of Soul brought in by Bakewell Media offered an appetizer to what LA's largest annual street festival Taste of Soul is all about. It featured vendors such as Harold & Belle's, Mel's Fish Shack, Grandma's House Catering, OMG Chicken and Waffles, Stone's Jamaican Food, Big Ronnie's BBQ, Fun Time Kettle Corn, and Big Tasty Legs just to name a few. The aroma of seasonings coming from several different types of food filled the air along with sounds of Bakewell Media's StarQuest winners and local artists on the BET/Taste of Soul Community Stage.
Friday, the stage hosted a Taste of Soul Food Showcase, StarQuest winner Adrian Battle, Crenshaw Elite Choir, LAUSD "Spotlight" Winners, LAUSD Classical & Jazz Ensemble and Debbie Allen's Dance Academy's "Kids Crewe." Saturday, the stage hosted Starquest winner Beau Williams, a Taste of Soul Food Showcase, LAUSD "Spotlight" Winners. LAUSD Classical & Jazz Ensemble, Marquise Brown & The Gifted and Lula Washington Dance Theatre's Youth Dance Ensemble. There was no way you could resist not grabbing a plate if you were at the Fan Fest! And if you didn't get to eat, you missed out, but no worries, the annual Taste of Soul is October 19, 2013. Chairman and CEO of Bakewell Media says that it was an honor to be apart of the BET Experience this year.
"The fact that they have established the BET Experience and have partnered with a Taste of Soul, it just makes it something that welcomes the community to downtown Los Angeles," Bakewell said.
He also says that a Taste of a Taste of Soul just hints at what's to come!
"What's important about Taste of Soul, different from this [a Taste of a Taste of Soul] is that it's bigger, it's better and it's in our community. It's in our house where everyone is welcome!
The Music Matters Stage hosted several talented artists and up-and-coming artists over the weekend. Day 1 of the Music Matters Stage brought artists such as Mali Music, Rap Pack, Kimberly Nichole, PJ Morton, BJ the Chicago Kid and Adrian Marcel.
Day 2 brought artists: Curtis Fields, Marsha Ambrosius, Mateo, Elijah Blake, RaVaughn, Ab-Soul, K. Michelle, Austin Brown and Jessy Wilson.
The BET Experience also brought the BET Pavillion, which hosted movies, gourmet food, beauty/grooming lounges, health and wellness, celebrity basketball games and a relaxation lounge. The Beauty Lounge was the perfect place to get your make-up and hair touched up for free! The temperature was HOT that weekend, so touch-ups were a necessity as lots of women gathered to get groomed. Once your make-up and hair was done, you walked away with some beauty products provided by Covergirl and more!
What could be better than FREE Celebrity Panels apart of BET Revealed? Several panels were conducted over the weekend offering advice on love & relationships, money & finances and issues like gun violence. Panels featured were 'Couples Uncovered,' which featured couples Nicole Ari Parker & Boris Kodjoe and Mari Brock Akil & Salim Akil. Another panel featured was 'Rich Forever: How to Make It, How to Keep It,' which featured Janice Howroyd, Dennis P. Kimbro, Master P and moderated by Paula Madison. 'Black Girls Rock! – Rebuilding the Village' was another panel which featured Beverly Bond, MC Lyte, Lil Mama, Holly Robinson Peete, Tricia Rose and was moderated by Harriette Cole. 'Making Moves Outside the Game' featured Laila Ali and Lisa Leslie and was moderated by William C. Rhoden. Speaking on issues of gun violence was the panel 'NO GUNS ALLOWED: Disarming Violence in Our Community,' which featured Snoop Lion aka Snoop Dogg, Ryan Coogler, Melvyn Hayward Jr., T.I. Congresswoman Maxine Waters and was co-moderated by Rob "Biko" Baker and Brandon T. Jones. Rapper, Snoop Lion aka Snoop Dogg says he has changed and hopes to help others change as well.
"You know we got to try to save the world in a better way, by making it a better place to live as far as ridding the world of gun violence and I've always been one to glamorize gun violence, so now I'm ready to change and do the right thing and say the right thing, so this is what it's all about," Snoop said.
BET Revealed also featured "Genius Talks" with Pharrell Williams in conversation with Bevy Smith and Nick Cannon in conversation with Bevy Smith.
We can't forget the Film Festival! It featured "Imagine A Future," "Mother of George," "Despicable Me 2," "Things Never Said," "BET Premiere Cinema: Gun Hill," "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete" and "Fruitvale Station."
The JW Marriott Gold Ballroom hosted Spike Bellator MMA, which featured cage demonstrations and chances to meet & greet with talent all throughout the weekend. The demonstrations were enough to get your adrenaline rushing!
Several concerts and comedy shows were also apart of the BET Experience including Mike Epps who took to the Nokia Club stage Friday night with hilarious stories, some that made us cringe, but laugh until we cried. Erykah Badu whose sultry and soulful songs beamed throughout the Nokia Club following Mike Epps Friday night. The beautiful Beyonce also kicked off her tour "Mrs. Carter Show" Friday night at the Staples Center. Singer Melanie Fiona opened up for Queen B's kick-off tour concert. Saturday was also full of ear candy goodies including The Roots & Friends, which included Nelly, MC Lyte, Naughty By Nature and Too Short. They performed at the Nokia Club as well. The Staples Center hosted a huge gallery of hip hop/rap artists Saturday night including Schoolboy Q, Miguel, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar and Snoop Lion aka Snoop Dogg and a whole bunch of surprise guests. Those surprises included Dr. Dre, Problem, Future, Ace Hood, Wale, Warren G, Kurupt, Jay Rock, Trinidad James and Wiz Khalifa. Talk about a hip-hop head's DREAM! Cedric The Entertainer and friends took up the Club Nokia stage Saturday night making us all enjoy some good laughs for the BET Experience. Sunday's Best was held Sunday at Club Nokia and was hosted by Kirk Franklin. The concert featured Donnie McClurkin, Karen Clark-Sheard, Kierra 'Kiki' Sheard of The Sheards, Amber Bullock, Joshua Rogers and Le'Andria Johnson. Bullock, Rogers and Johnson were past gospel competition winners on BET's Sunday Best TV show and recently released chart-topping albums.
All I can say is what an experience! If you were there, hope you enjoyed the FIRST EVER BET Experience and hope you make plans to participate again!

Today marks the 10th anniversary of one of my all-time favorite movies, Spike Lee's Get on the Bus.
For those who haven't seen the film: It's about a group of black men who travel (by bus, of course) from Los Angeles to Washington, DC to attend the Million Man March. (Today is also the 11th anniversary of the march.)
It's no coincidence that Lee chose a bus (the most democratic of vehicles) as his characters' mode of travel. The men come from varied backgrounds, circumstances, and stages of life but share in common a desire to attend the march, and, consequently, their time on the bus. Over the course of the three-day ride, they discuss their beliefs, prejudices, hopes, fears, and histories. They discuss the problems facing the black community and their differing views about how to fix them. They develop friendships and rivalries.
No one mentions public transit. 🙂
To commemorate the film's anniversary, I watched it again and found it just as moving and (sadly) relevant as I did the first time. It was definitely worth the bus trip (speaking of getting on the bus) to Scarecrow, including the return trip on the Husky Downer Express.
A side note: In real life, Rosa Parks (also known as my all-time favorite bus chick) was one of the speakers at the Million Man March.

Following last year's major Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 leak, it's understandable that we haven't heard much regarding the next CoD (apart from the occasional rumor) with Activision being tight-lipped as much as possible internally. However, while it's not as substantial as MW3's leak, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2's logo has seemingly surfaced, in addition to the debut trailer's release date.
While delving into Activision servers, members at the Call of Duty forums managed to retrieve the image shown above via the following URL: http://www.callofduty.com/bo2/images. While the URL has inevitably been taken down by – as well as the forum threads – with an error message now being prompted, the logo being on the series' official site certainly gives credence to the validity of the image.
Furthermore, the image indicates a date of April 28th which points towards an imminent reveal. Sure, it could be a date for the general unveiling of Call of Duty, but a debut trailer/teaser could be how it's actually revealed on the day. Coincidentally, April 28th, 2010, was the exact date for Call of Duty: Black Ops' reveal trailer.
Call of Duty: Black Ops remains Activision's best-selling game to date in the franchise with over a staggering 25 million sales to date.

Celine Dion is pregnant with twins, a rep for the star confirmed to Access Hollywood.
The singer's husband and manager, Rene Angelil, announced the baby news to People on Sunday.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Our Heart Still Goes On For Celine Dion!
U.S. & World
"We're ecstatic," he told the mag. "Celine is just hoping for a healthy pregnancy. She was hoping for one baby and the news that we are having two is a double blessing."
The 42-year-old mom-to-be is 14 weeks along.

Celine welcomed son Rene-Charles in 2001, and has made no secret of her quest to expand her family since.
In February, the Canadian star told Access that she had passed on performing at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver to focus on becoming pregnant.
"I'm going through some in vitro treatments – so that was my choice," Celine said at the time. "I'm trying to [grow] my family, be with my son and maybe be a mom for a second child, hopefully. That would be my biggest dream right now."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Canadian Stars: They Say 'Eh!'
And last December, the star opened up to Access about her struggles to conceive.
"We were [pregnant]," she said of August 2009 reports that she was expecting once again. "About 4, 5 days after, they found out that… it was not staying."

Cartoons of the day: Veterans Day
On this day in 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day, honoring the end of fighting in the first World War a year earlier. In 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day, in order to honor veterans of all U.S. wars. Today, editorial cartoonist Joe Heller offers the nation's thanks to those who have served in the U.S. military, while John Darkow suggests those who have fought are often forgotten the rest of the year.

BlackBerry is mad as hell and it's not going to take it anymore. The smartphone maker came out swinging Friday, one day after several market analyst reports said the company's first BlackBerry 10 handset, the touch-centric Z10, is not selling well in the U.S. The Z10 arrived in the U.S. in late March.
BlackBerry, formerly Research in Motion, takes issue with one analyst report in particular that claims Z10 handsets are being returned in record numbers. The company calls the claims "false and misleading." BlackBerry says it will appeal to U.S. and Canadian financial regulators to investigate the report, arguing that the comments about the Z10's return rates were intended to influence stock prices.
"When false statements of material fact are deliberately purveyed for the purpose of influencing the markets a red line has been crossed," BlackBerry Chief Legal Officer Steve Zipperstein said in a statement Friday. BlackBerry's stock price took about an 8 percent dive on Thursday after dismal analyst reports about the Z10.
The Z10 return debacle began after The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg quoted a report from Boston-based Detwiler Fenton that said Z10 return rates are exceeding sales in some cases. "Return rate statistics show that we are at or below our forecasts and right in line with the industry," BlackBerry President and CEO Thorsten Heins said in a statement Friday. "To suggest otherwise is either a gross misreading of the data or a willful manipulation."
Verizon Wireless backed up BlackBerry's rebuttal in a statement to TechHive. "After the first 14 days, performance of the Z10 has been in line with similar devices we've launched," the wireless carrier said.
BlackBerry scrutiny continues
BlackBerry and Verizon may dispute Detwiler Fenton's findings, but the firm is standing by its report. "We are confident in our research methodology and we welcome any regulatory inquiry," the firm's general counsel and chief compliance officer Anne Buckley said in a statement to TechHive.
In addition to Detwiler Fenton's report, the Journal and Bloomberg also quoted ITG analyst Joe Fersedi who said Z10 U.S. sales "started poorly and weakened significantly as the days passed." Fersedi also claims Z10 sales are about the same or perhaps a little stronger than sales of pre-BlackBerry 10 handsets. Reuters recently quoted a research note by Pacific Crest Securities analyst James Faucette that was also negative about BlackBerry's fortunes. While Faucette, as reported by Reuters, didn't call out the Z10 specifically, he did say that BlackBerry 10 handsets would not return BlackBerry to "long-term profitability."
In its most recent earnings report in late March, BlackBerry reported it had sold one million Z10 handsets after shipping the phone in several markets including the U.K. and Canada. Early U.S. sales numbers for the Z10 will be included in BlackBerry's next earnings report this summer.

Item Description
Letter, A. Lincoln (copy) to M. W. Delahay
Author: Lincoln, Abraham
Date: May 14, 1859
This two-page, handwritten copy of a letter to Mark Delahay from Abraham Lincoln was probably given to the KSHS by Delahay's daughter Mary E. Delahay in the early 1900s. Lincoln regretfully declined an invitation to attend the Osawatomie convention on May 18 which was to formally organize the Republican Party in Kansas. Lincoln warned against "the temptation to lower the Republican Standard [in whatever platform the convention might adopt] in order to gather recruits. In my judgment," Lincoln continued," such a step would be a serious mistake" that "would surrender the object of the Republican organization--the preventing the Spread and Nationalization of Slaver . . ."
Location of Original: KSHS Call Number: Delahay Family Collection, #326
Item Number: 100455 Number of images: 2
Keywords: Delahay, Mark W.; Douglas, Stephen Arnold, 1813-1861; Election, Presidential, 1860; Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865; Lykins County, Kansas Territory (see also Miami County, Kansas); Miami County, Kansas (see also Lykins County, Kansas Territory); Osawatomie, Kansas Territory; Republican National Convention (1860 : Chicago, Ill.); Republican Party (U.S.: 1854- ); Slave power; Slavery

INDIANAPOLIS – The Georgia College baseball team (29-19) has earned prominent spots in both of the most recent NCAA Southeast Region Rankings and the Collegiate Baseball National Top-30.
Georgia College is No. 8 in the Southeast Region, the poll used to determine the three at-large choices to the NCAA Regional Tournament later this month. Mount Olive College owns the top spot, followed by Tusculum College. Armstrong is the first Peach Belt Conference (PBC) school listed at No. 3, with another, Francis Marion University at fourth. USC Aiken is fifth, with Catawba College and then Lander University in front of GC.
In the Collegiate Baseball National Top-30, GC took No. 28, after bursting back into the poll at No. 25 a week ago. The University of Tampa regains the top spot, with Tusculum second. GC is ranked fourth of the five PBC schools listed in this ranking, led by No. 6 Francis Marion.
The Bobcats begin their quest for the school's first PBC Tournament title Wednesday, May 9 at 4 p.m., traveling to Columbus, Ga. to take on Lander.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

"We are really feeling good about the recent seminary grads; you should know that."Such a comment is always welcome, of course. But the context of the comment was particularly encouraging. It came in the midst of a lengthy conversation I was having with one of our ELCA bishops, and the "we" he referenced was his bishop colleagues.That does not mean everything is perfect. There may well be "other opinions." Our conversation covered a lot of ground, including a few pastoral situations that were not going so well. We talked about how to enhance the First Call Theological Education experience for new pastors and how to provide coaching/colleagues/mentors to help pastors and ministries flourish.Neither this particular bishop nor any other that I have ever known has any illusions about the reality of the "sinner" part of "sinner/saint" among parishioners or among clergy. We talked about how to improve some of the seminary journey to try to cover some of the traditional areas where first-call pastors struggle. We talked about how to enhance the partnership between seminaries and synods, and a host of other things.Still, given all the challenges and foibles in our lives, I deeply appreciated this unsolicited comment from a savvy bishop who has a good handle on the realities of life and ministry: "We are really feeling good about the recent seminary grads; you should know that."It is a generalization, of course. And we spent plenty of time reflecting on some of the frustrations and failings that mark our common lives. But still…I appreciated his words. And judging from the seminarians I know, I share that opinion.

Reuters — August 28, 2013
Japan's nuclear regulator said on Wednesday it has officially raised the severity rating of the latest radioactive water leak at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant to Level 3 on an international scale for radiological releases.
The upgrade by Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) raises the rating of what was Japan's first warning on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES) since the three reactor meltdowns at the Fukushima plant in March 2011, which were triggered by a massive earthquake and tsunami. Those meltdowns were classified as Level 7, the highest INES rating.
The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co, said last week that 300 tonnes of highly radioactive water leaked from a storage tank at the facility. The utility still does not know how long the water may have been leaking and said it was possible the contaminated water may have reached the Pacific Ocean.
The NRA had said last week that it may upgrade the severity of the crisis from a Level 1 "anomaly" to a Level 3 "serious incident" on the INES scale, after consultations with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

A good business opportunity can appear from anywhere. A friend, neighbor or a work mate may have approached you about a business partnership or opportunity. You may have stumbled across one in the newspaper or you came across one on the internet. Yet it is only a great business opportunity for those that can expand their imagination to believe in the realization that that business idea can prosper.
What it comes down to is having a product or service that is needed by the public. If the product is sellable and you have a passion for it, that's the best example of a business opportunity. To turn this business into a thriving success it needs to have a proven method of success and your burning desire to succeed. If you are willing to work, and work hard at it and not give up when things don't go to plan in your personal and business life you can be very successful.
Looking for the ideal business opportunity you don't want to put yourself in a deep financial debt. If you can sleep at night and the debt doesn't get to you that's fine go ahead and do it. Other wise look for something that is affordable to you that can be very profitable as well. These days, a smart way of building a business is setting it up so it can run by itself. So if the cat gets sick and you need the day off, or perhaps you and the family can go on a vacation whenever you please and it won't affect the operation of the business and you are still making money. If you can fine a business that you are motivated to build and it can run 24/7 that's the best business opportunity to be in.

COMBINED SHIPPING NOTEHeygidday
offers combined shipping as much as we can! Here is how it can work,
please read this carefully if you plan to purchase multiple items and
you wish to save on shipping costs.Once you order and make
payment we are NOT able to change the order and per Ebay rules it needs
to be shipped as ordered to the buyer. Ebay locks the order and also
takes a percentage of the shipping amount to keep for themselves.So
the best method is to buy everything you need BEFORE you pay and then
only once you are finished buying, then make payment. If you are still
unsure the shipping will be one low fee then BEFORE you pay send us a
message asking us to combine your order! We will then send you a final
invoice and make sure the shipping is the lowest possible amount. Note
we can NOT do this if you have already paid. See note above about that!The
way it works is you will pay the shipping ONCE only if you follow these
suggestions, and it will be the highest shipping amount of the items
you have purchased and that is it. For example vest extenders are
heavier than patches so shipping is a little more. But you only pay it
once if you follow this method.Hip flasks we sell are a bit different, since they are made of strong stainless steel and they often weigh around
half a pound each. You will pay a shipping fee for the first flask you
buy and then pay a lower fee for each additional flask you buy. But we
assure you we have gone through this very carefully, we ONLY charge
minimal shipping amounts. We do not make money on shipping (even though
Ebay does). We actually print our shipping costs on our postage labels
so you can see exactly what we paid,So the bottom line is, buy whatever you want, but message us for a total BEFORE you pay! Thank you.

Steve Harmison: Ashley Giles remains best candidate to lead England
Former England bowler Steve Harmison believes Ashley Giles remains the best candidate to replace Andy Flower as head coach despite Monday's humbling defeat to Holland.
The last chapter of a disastrous winter was written as Associate nation Holland inflicted a 45-run defeat on England at the ICC World Twenty20 - a tournament from which England are returning home ahead of schedule.
Australian Trevor Bayliss is the latest name to be mentioned alongside those of limited-overs coach Giles, former South Africa and Australia coach Mickey Arthur and Lancashire's Peter Moores as the England and Wales Cricket Board looks to finally replace Zimbabwean Flower, who stepped down in January.
Recently-retired fast bowler Harmison thinks Giles is the stand-out contender.
"Ashley Giles is a better candidate than all of them put together," Harmison told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"People have got to realise, who really wants this England job? The only names that have come out and said they do want it are Mickey Arthur and (former Sri Lanka coach) Tom Moody.
"I would take Peter Moores, potentially, but the rest of them - I'm not being disrespectful - Ashley is better."
Harmison says England's recent performances under Giles have been badly affected by injuries to key players including Joe Root and Ben Stokes.
"Ashley Giles has been coach of the one-day squad for the last 18 months and he has never really had a full complement to pick from," he added.
"How many times did he have Kevin Pietersen? Very few. Graeme Swann? Missing. Ben Stokes? Missing. Joe Root? Missing.
"All this comes into the melting pot."
England and Essex spinner Monty Panesar echoed Harmison's concerns over a chronic lack of personnel and feels Giles was plagued by bad luck at the World Twenty20.
"I think he's been slightly unlucky," he told Sky Sports News. "I think at one point he had the right blend of squad and then the likes of Joe Root and Ben Stokes got injured.
"He's been a little bit unlucky not getting his best XI throughout the tournaments in the Caribbean and in the T20 so, if you take the Netherlands game aside, I think England played really well.
"They were a little bit unlucky against New Zealand but they had the game of the tournament against Sri Lanka, it was great entertainment for T20 and Alex Hales had a fantastic innings.
"I thought it was the best knock of the tournament. We weren't far off and against South Africa we were a bit unlucky.
"All in all with the squad of players they had, they weren't far off qualifying."

SIMONA® PE Twin-Wall Sheets
The efficient solution for light yet stable designs
For some years now, livestock facilities have had to meet emission standards to prevent odour nuisance. These stipulate, for instance, that large livestock facilities, e.g. with 2,000 or more fattening places, need to be equipped with exhaust air cleaning systems to receive approval.
This has resulted in the manufacture of air scrubbers to filter out ammonia, odours and dust. For reasons of stability, SIMONA® PE Twin-Wall Sheets are ideal for the construction of rectangular air scrubbers. The sheets are characterised by high rigidity, low specific weight and good thermal insulation and are easy to process and machine. The twin-wall sheets can be processed with the same methods used for solid sheet material.
Special properties
- High strength and rigidity
- High resistance to breakage
- Rectangular shape without the need for steel reinforcement
- Low weight compared with solid wall due to hollow design
- Excellent sound insulation (DIN EN ISO 140-3 certification on request)
- Low heat transfer coefficients (K-value/U-value) based on ISO 8301, EN 1946-3
- Wide range of applications
- Very easy to process
- Excellent chemical resistance

Oklahoma starting quarterback Landry Jones has been elected a team captain for the third straight season.
Coach Bob Stoops said after practice Monday that Jones was one of five players chosen as a captain in a team vote. Gabe Ikard, who is moving from guard to become the starting center, joins Jones as an offensive captain.
Lineman David King was chosen as the captain of the defense, and punter Tress Way will serve as the leader on special teams for a second straight season.
Stoops says fullback Trey Millard received enough votes between offense and special teams that he was selected as the fifth captain.
The fourth-ranked Sooners open their season Sept. 1 at UTEP.

Grand Rapids Bridal Show showers couples on DeVos Place
Tonight, DeVos Place will turn into a soon-to-be bride's best friend. The 43rd annual Grand Rapids Bridal Show kicks off at 5 p.m. and goes through 5 p.m. Saturday.
The largest bridal show in West Michigan and the second largest in the state features more than 100 wedding professionals and vendors to help brides plan their special day.
A one-stop shop, the expo will provide brides and their families and friends the opportunity to speak with caterers, venue representatives, party planners, bridal shops, florists, DJs, photographers and videographers and plenty more. Every aspect of the wedding planning process will be under one roof.
"We are the largest and longest running bridal show in West Michigan," said Stacey Nelson, from Bunny Tuxedos, the company putting on the expo. "Longest running gives us a reputation in the wedding industry, and with the community, that gives us an advantage. That advantage makes us the largest.
"We have more wedding professionals at our show than any other, and we attract more brides because of it," she said. "Almost every large show in the area will have similar things to what we have, but we just have more of it. Any business that can't afford to do more than one show is probably at ours. So the smaller businesses and newer trends may only be seen at our event."
There will be three fashion shows during the weekend, showcasing the latest in wedding wear from Bunny Tuxedos and Bridal Lane. The fashion shows will be held at 7:30 p.m., Friday, and 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., Saturday.
Nelson said Bunny Tuxedos will be unveiling its new tuxedo styles for 2013, including Allure Men, and Bridal Lane will be showing the "hottest new trends" during the fashion show.
There will also be door prizes and several other giveaways and discounts to help brides keep costs down.
"Even our vendors that are at the show every year never show the same thing twice," Nelson said. "Each keeps up on the latest wedding trends and makes sure to offer what couples are looking for. We have several new businesses at the show that are sure to gather extra attention, too."
Nelson expects total attendance for the weekend to fall between 4,000 and 5,000 visitors, with about 1,000 of them being engaged couples.
The website for the Grand Rapids Bridal Show provides several tips for attendees, including advice to save time by pre-registering. There is also an opportunity for a free ticket for the bride by signing up online. Additional tickets for the show are $5.
The Grand Rapids Bridal Show is open Friday from 5-9 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Bunny Tuxedos is a locally owned company celebrating 60 years in business this year.

Good Eats Weekly Newsletter - August 10th, 2016
Posted by Pete's Greens at 4:02 PM
We believe strongly in local food production and consumption. Local food is more nutritious, tastes better, and eating it connects us to our place and to the time of year. Local food production is interesting work that makes a great career and creates a fine quality of life. If Vermonters decided to eat locally we would support thousands of small producers such as cheesemakers, slaughterhouses, sauerkraut makers, vegetable farms and creameries. At Pete's Greens we want to be part of this revolution.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #514
From Psalm 124
Now Israel may say, and that in truth,
If that the Lord had not our right maintained,
If that the Lord had not with us remained,
When cruel men against us rose to strive,
We surely had been swallowed up alive.
Yea when their wrath against us fiercely rose,
The swelling tide had o'er us spread its wave,
The raging stream had then become our grave,
The surging flood, in proudly swelling roll,
Most surely then had overwhelmed our soul.
Blest be the Lord who made us not their prey:
As from the snare a bird escapeth free,
Their net us rent and so escaped are we:
Our only help is in Jehovah's Name,
Who made the earth and all the heav'nly frame.

Your speaking voice is one of the first things people notice about you. And while it may be unfair, an unpleasant voice can make a negative impression.
But some voice and speech coaches say it is possible to give yourself a voice makeover with easy exercises that can improve your communication with others and, ultimately, improve your confidence.
Vocal coach Linda Septien said a person's voice can be an important presentation tool, whether a person is trying to get a new job, get clients or even get a date.
"The sound of the voice dictates who you are before someone knows the inside of you," Septien said. "So the voice is the foremost presentation prior to seeing anything else, especially on the phone."
Seventeen-year-old Rebecca Whaley is an aspiring singer whose deep and sultry voice sounds great when she's singing a love song. But she said it's not so great when she's trying to have a conversation.
"I speak really low for a female, and it's monotone, so it doesn't have much inflection," she said. "A lot of times I get questions like, 'Are you OK? Is something bothering you?' Or, 'I can't read you.'"
Whaley said she wants to improve her speaking voice because she wants to launch a singing career and needs to be able to promote herself well.
Bill Fairly, who is a financial adviser in Fort Worth, hates his voice, too, and wants to keep his twang under control.
"Whenever I've heard mine, it always sounds so nasally and twangy," he said.
He said people on the phone will sometimes respond to him with a, "Yes, ma'am."
Septien said many of the same tricks singers use can help people improve their speaking voices as well, whether you have a thick accent, your voice is too high or too low or even if you speak too fast.
First record yourself, she said.
"When you record it, you'll hear it, and you'll know what to do with it from there," she said. "And you just keep recording until you get better."
That's one of the tricks she suggested Whaley try. It helps people work on clarity, enunciation and even volume and tone.
Another tip: Practice reading children's stories out loud.
"If you understand how to be sort of a DJ telling a story to a child, a lot of that will get the inflections right, and will get them to stop bearing down on sound and mumbling," Septien said.
And fast talkers who need to pace themselves should think about what they're going to say as if it were a rap song.
"If you will rap what you're about to say and think of a beat, as I'm talking, it keeps me all the way to the end just speaking in a great rhythm, and it doesn't make me want to go fast at the end," Septien said.
Septien has more tips to make your voice sound more attractive on her Web site: http://www.theseptiengroup.com/.

The U.S. base in Guantanamo, Cuba, is practicing procedures officials say could be used should the base become the destination for a mass migration of refugees.
Some 500 troops were flown in this week to rehearse an imaginary humanitarian-relief crisis, The Miami Herald reported Sunday.
Soldiers, sailors and Homeland Security officials are part of the every-other-year drill, spawned in the 1990s after tens of thousands of Haitians and Cubans overwhelmed the base.
The exact scenario is classified and officials won't say whether an actual event would be created by political unrest or natural disaster. Col. Greg Julian, spokesman for the U.S. Southern Command, would say only the humanitarian war game is about a "mass migration event" in the Caribbean.
Among other things, the troops will be working to register 1,000 migrants a day.
The International Organization for Migration is taking part, but not the International Committee for the Red Cross.
The exercise was planned long before Cuba last month dropped its policy of requiring citizens to get exit visas to legally leave the island.

Pow Region Manipulation
OverviewPOW provides the user with the ability to create and edit standard region files through the Region File menu item under POW's Tools menu. The Region File dialog window consists of a list of regions available for manipulation; a set of buttons and an entry box which are used to modify the currently selected region; and, at the bottom, buttons which open/save regions in a file and delete all the regions. Region types supported are Box, Circle, Ellipse, Polygon, Line, and Point.
Creating RegionsWhen the region dialog box is open, a new region can be created by placing the mouse at the desired location in the graph and click-and-drag with the left mouse button down (Command-Click on Mac OS). The shape of the region created is determined by the current shape button in the dialog box. For Circles, and Ellipses, the initial mouse location will be the center of the region and the final location its radius or width and/or height, as appropriate. For Boxes, the mouse movement traces out opposite corners of the rectangle. For Polygons and Lines, the mouse movement locations define the start and end of a line segment. To add extra segments to the Polygon, let up on the mouse button then press it again, without moving, then drag out the next side of the polygon, repeating as necessary. For a Point shape, the final mouse position defines its location. When the mouse button is released, the new region is appended to the list of available regions and made the current region.
Current Region and ManipulationThe current region is the one highlighted in the dialog's list of regions and "tagged" on the graph (see below). Upon selection (clicking the left mouse button on a region in the list or on the graph itself) or creation, the definition of the current region is placed in the current region portion of the dialog box.
A region consists of 3 parts: a sign indicating whether it defines a region to be added (source) or subtracted (background) from the data (these are indicated on the graph with blue or red region outlines, respectively); a shape; and the parameters defining its location, size, and possible rotation. The sign and shape of the current region are represented by a pair of buttons. The sign button toggles between "+" and "-" and the shape button brings up a popup menu of the 6 available shapes to choose from. The region parameters are placed in a final text entry box and can be modified by hand. When changing shapes, POW does its best to translate the current parameters into appropriate values and format for the new shape. For example, in going from a circle to polygon, the parameters change from a circle's (X,Y,R) format to a list of points tracing out the circle's outline. Changing the current region information in the dialog box does not actually affect the current region until the Apply button is pressed. Prior to pressing Apply, the region information can be restored by reselecting the current region. (Note: the values initially placed in the entry box are rounded off after 6 significant digits, so pressing Apply may result in minor changes in the shape's size and location even though the values were not modified.)
Although the sign and shape of a region can only be modified via the dialog box, the location, size, and rotation of regions can be changed either in the dialog box (yuck!) or through direct manipulation of the region on the graph with the mouse. The current region is "tagged" with 2 types of handles: a rotation handle (green triangle) and one or more resize handles (green squares). Circles, Polygons, and Lines cannot be rotated, so they have only one or more (as appropriate) resize handles. Boxes and Ellipses have one of each type, but Points have neither. A shape is rotated or resized (for Polygons and Lines, it is more a matter of repositioning points) by clicking the relevant handle with the left mouse button and dragging it to a new location. When the mouse cursor is over one of the handles, the cursor changes to a double-arrow, indicating that point can be dragged. When the mouse button is released the dialog's list of regions and current region information are updated with the new information. On the polygon, to drag a vertex, use Shife-Left Mouse button to drag the intended vertex to new location.
To move a region, simply click the left mouse button inside the region and drag it to the new location. Because clicking on a region makes it the current region, moving a region can be performed on any region, not just the current one. When inside a region, the cursor changes to a 4-sided arrow and the region's outline thickens. The current region can also be moved via the keyboard. When the POW window is in the foreground, shift-arrow will move the current shape one screen pixel in the arrow's direction. Control-arrow moves the shape 10 pixels.
Polygons can be modified in two additional ways. Points can be deleted by dragging a point onto one of its adjacent points. A point can also be inserted by clicking and dragging one of the handles with the left mouse button (Command-Click on Mac OS). This inserts the new point before the one clicked. If this is incorrect, immediately drag the new point back onto the first to delete it (no need to release the mouse button) and then click and drag on the next point. Vertex can be dragged by click and drag with right mouse button.
The Delete button in the Region dialog deletes the current region, and the next region in the list (or previous region if deleting the last region) becomes the current region. All the regions can be deleted with the Clear All button.
Coordinate SystemsRegion parameters can be displayed in one of several formats selectable by a popup menu just below the list of regions in the Region dialog. The first is Image format wherein positions and size parameters are reported in the pixel coordinates of the image. If the image has a linear scaling, the Linear format will report coordinates in this scaled coordinate system instead of pixels. If WCS information is available for the graph, region parameters can be displayed in celestial coordinates as degrees. The formats FK4, FK5, Galactic, Ecliptic, and ICRS each report region positions and sizes as degrees, but POW currently does not convert between these formats; the user must specify the appropriate system which will then be written to the region file when saved. Finally, the Degrees format signifies a mixed style used by SAOtng wherein positions are in degrees, but sizes are in pixels.
The final 2 elements of the popup menu select the formatting to use when displaying degree values. Decimal Degrees format shows values as ordinary decimals with RA ranging over 0-360 and Declination over -90 to +90. HHMMSS Degrees instead displays decimals in hour:minute:second format.
Statistics Calculation3 entries indicate the statistics of a region selected (or combine of regions). The statistics include number of pixel enclosed, total flux and mean flux in the region(s).
For statistic of 2 or more regions on the image, number of pixels is determined by several factors, such as if a region intersects with one another, the sign of region (+: include, -: exclude). Pow calls CFITSIO routine and pass the region(s) descriptions to determine if a given pixel is part of the ROI (region of interests). And if so, that pixel's value is been recorded to be part of calculation of total flux and mean flux of the ROI.
Saving/Opening Region FilesAt the bottom of the Region dialog are a pair of Open and Save buttons which will read and write region files in the standard format, compatible with SAOtng. If regions already exist when opening a region file, the user will have the option of deleting the old regions or appending the new ones to the list. When saving regions, the parameters will be written in the coordinate system currently selected in the Region dialog.

Hollywood Celeb Assistants Reveal All – Miley Flashes Strangers, R-Patz's Romantic Texts & Who Knew Katie Holmes Smoked!
The assistants to the rich and famous are finally opening up and it turns out the stars, they aren't just like us!
From Katie Holmes' smoking habit to Britney Spears' baby talk, it seems like every celeb has some habit they wish they could hide from the public!
According to the new issue of Star, Britney, "talks in a baby voice all the time," and Miley, "thinks it's hilarious to greet first-time guests at the door and shock them with some skin." Scandalous!
It doesn't stop there either, with Tori Spelling only hiring gay men to work on her staff in fear of losing husband Dean McDermott, and Mariah Carey insisting on drinking champagne from a straw!
Most shocking however, is that Katie is a cigarette smoker! "Katie demands that her employees keep secrets from her hubby, Tom Cruise … including her smoking habit," reports the magazine.
Most romantic meanwhile goes to Robert Pattinson who is always sending texts to his GF Kristen Stewart.

To use chocolate for spicing up things in bed, you do not have to be an expert. Just follow our innovative ways to use chocolate and season your relationship with new flavours.
Chocolate and love are inseparable when it comes to sweetening and strengthening relationships. Historically considered an aphrodisiac, chocolates can be used to incite passion and attraction. To use chocolate to spice up your relationship, you don't have to be an expert. You just have to figure out what turns on your partner and slip a little of this sweet confection into that activity. Take a look at these ways to use chocolate and make your love life exciting. Image Courtesy: Getty
There can't be anything more amazing for your lover than a sweet surprise that starts and ends their day. Kick-start the day on a positive note by hugging your sweetheart and presenting her with a box of her favourite chocolates. Let her know that her sweetness is greater than the sweetness of any chocolate in the world by writing a note on the chocolate box. Image Courtesy: Getty
Grabbing the sweetness shouldn't come that easily for your lover and to make things more exciting, you might play a chocolate treasure hunt with them. Place the chocolates smartly in different areas of the house by leaving clues for the next one with the previous one finally taking them to the large box of chocolates. Your partner would be curious to find this sweet token of your love. This will double the fun and excitement. Image Courtesy: Getty
We mean chocolates in the shape of kisses. Buy a jar of such chocolates and make sure your lover doesn't see it. Play a romantic music track, hold the chocolate kisses to your mouth and tempt your partner to take them from you. Gently put her arms behind her and wrap them with your arms around her waist. Let her eat the chocolate without using her hands. Continue this by placing the next chocolate on your shoulder, and then your chest and let the heat build up! Image Courtesy: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/
Chocolate body paint is a hot selling gift on Valentine's Day and why not, it can stir your passion up by several measures. Get a jar of edible chocolate body paint. Before you both are about to sleep, go to the washroom, paint your body with the chocolate body paint and come out as a surprise for your beloved. The adrenaline rush would be too much for them to control and you know what will follow. Image Courtesy: Getty
Take your lover out to their favourite spa or salon for a romantically indulging chocolate bath and spa. To amp the effect you can book a couple bath wherein you can accompany your partner and spend some quality time in each other's arms while pampering yourselves. Image Courtesy: Getty
Search "chocolate" on a music program like iTunes and you will get numerous tracks based on chocolate. Pick the ones you like and put together a music compilation that you can play in the background next time you guys are chocolate romancing. Image Courtesy: Getty
Ditch the usual fare and have chocolate on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For example, dine on chocolate croissants for breakfast. For dinner, it's possible to infuse main course, appetizers, drinks and dessert with chocolate and to find the right recipe will not pose as a huge challenge. We hope your partner wouldn't mind having nothing but chocolate dessert for lunch every once in a while. Image Courtesy: Getty
A souvenir of chocolates at the end of a special date does more than it could if put in words. Recapture an indulgent evening for a little longer by presenting your lover with a box of delectable chocolates. They could also be naughty anatomy chocolates. And to seal the giving, how about a French kiss involving passing an exquisite chocolate between the two of you. Image Courtesy: Getty

GRANTHAM, Pa. – McDaniel's four starting pitchers combined to shutout Messiah and the offense produced three runs in the sixth inning for a 3-0 non-conference baseball victory on Wednesday.
James Chiorello (East Windsor, N.J./Lawrenceville Prep) had two hits and pitched the ninth inning to record his third save of the season for the Green Terror (20-10), who reached the 20-win mark for the first time in program history. Jimmy Najera (Fort Washington, Md./DeMatha) added two hits and an RBI.
Wes Hollenbach, Jacob Sprengle and John Brubaker each recorded single hits for the Falcons (15-21), who were limited to just three hits and four base runners all day.
Chiorello led off the sixth inning with a double to center field before scoring on a Mike Freeman (Lititz, Pa./Warwick) single one batter later to break the scoreless deadlock.
Najera followed with a double of his own to plate Freeman for a 2-0 advantage.
Two-out singles from Dan French (Williamstown, N.J./Williamstown) and Patrick Christopher (Union Beach, N.J./St. John Vianney) scored Najera for the 3-0 lead.
McDaniel finished the game with nine hits and left 11 runners on base.
Zach Jones (Frederick, Md./Tuscarora) pitched the first three innings with five strikeouts. Andrew Monger (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) threw the next three with two strikeouts to earn the win. Danny Snight (Silver Spring, Md./St. John's College) pithed the seventh and eighth innings while Chiorello had two strikeouts in the ninth.
Jones, Monger and Snight allowed one hit each.
The Green Terror returns to action at Franklin & Marshall on Saturday. The first game of the doubleheader begins at 12:30 p.m.

We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes, patches, etc.: http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Contributing The following section lists the changes in the MySQL source code since the previous released version of MySQL 5.5. It may also be viewed online at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/news-5-5-14.html Enjoy! Changes in MySQL 5.5.14 : Functionality added or changed: * CMake configuration support on Linux now provides a boolean ENABLE_GCOV option to control whether to include support for gcov. (Bug #12549572) * InnoDB now permits concurrent reads while creating a secondary index. (Bug #11853126) See also Bug #11751388, Bug #11784056, Bug #11815600. * Client programs now display more information for SSL errors to aid in diagnosis and debugging of connection problems. (Bug #21287, Bug #11745920) * In the audit plugin interface, the event_class member was removed from the mysql_event_general structure and the calling sequence for the notification function changed. Originally, the second argument was a pointer to the event structure. The function now receives this information as two arguments: an event class number and a pointer to the event. Corresponding to these changes, MYSQL_AUDIT_INTERFACE_VERSION was increased to 0x0300. The plugin_audit.h header file, and the NULL_AUDIT example plugin in the plugin/audit_null directory have been modified per these changes. See Section 188.8.131.52, "Writing Audit Plugins." Bugs fixed: * Replication: A mistake in thread cleanup could cause a replication master to crash. (Bug #12578441) * Replication: When using row-based replication and attribute promotion or demotion (see Section 220.127.116.11.2, "Replication of Columns Having Different Data Types"), memory allocated internally for conversion of BLOB columns was not freed afterwards. (Bug #12558519) * Adding support for Windows authentication to libmysql introduced a link dependency on the system Secur32 library. The Microsoft Visual C++ link information was modified to pull in this library automatically. (Bug #12612143) * In some cases, memory allocated for Query_tables_list::sroutines() was not freed properly. (Bug #12429877) * After the fix for Bug#11889186, MAKEDATE() arguments with a year part greater than 9999 raised an assertion. (Bug #12403504) * An assertion could be raised due to a missing NULL value check in Item_func_round::fix_length_and_dec(). (Bug #12392636) * An assertion could be raised during two-phase commits if the binary log was used as the transaction coordinator log. (Bug #12346411) * A problem introduced in 5.5.11 caused very old (MySQL 4.0) clients to be unable to connect to the server. (Bug #61222, Bug #12563279) * Using CREATE EVENT IF NOT EXISTS for an event that already existed and was enabled caused multiple instances of the event to run. (Bug #61005, Bug #12546938) * An embedded client would abort rather than issue an error message if it issued a TEE command (\T file_name) and the directory containing the file did not exist. This occurred because the wrong error handler was called. (Bug #57491, Bug #11764633) * On some platforms, the Incorrect value: xxx for column yyy at row zzz error produced by LOAD DATA INFILE could have an incorrect value of zzz. (Bug #46895, Bug #11755168) * An attempt to install nonexistent files during installation was corrected. (Bug #43247, Bug #11752142) * On FreeBSD 64-built builds of the embedded server, exceptions were not prevented from propagating into the embedded application.

In this book, the distinguished geneticist David Botstein offers help and advice to scientists and physicians daunted by the arcane technical terms that flourish in his discipline. The science of gene function has a vocabulary of specialized, sometimes confusing terms to explain how traits and diseases are inherited, how genes are organized and regulated in the genome, and how the genetic code is read and translated by cells. These terms are often a barrier to full understanding of the underlying concepts. Yet, as more and more individuals learn about their genomes, the information these sequences contain cannot be understood or explained without reference to the basic ideas of genetics. Botstein draws on his long experience as a teacher and pioneering scientist to explain and illuminate what many genetic terms mean and how they entered common usage.
David Botstein is a legendary teacher, as well as an outstanding scientist. Decoding the Language of Genetics presents his insightful, very personal dissection of the major advances that have led to modern genetics and genomics. Carefully explaining the critical roles of research on model organisms, he guides the reader to the exciting future of human genomics. Included are lively descriptions of his many scientific heroesfrom Gregor Mendel to Seymour Benzer and Nancy Wexler.
Bruce Alberts, President Emeritus, U.S. National Academy of Sciences (19932005)
Genetics researchers try to understand the molecular mechanisms central to life by studying an organisms phenotype. The language that describes their approaches is familiar to the geneticist but often incomprehensible to everyone else. Master geneticist David Botstein has written a book that makes all this clear, explaining both the beauty of the logic involved and the language that has to be understood. Read this book, be inspired by the power of genetics, understand your genetical colleagues, and be overwhelmed no more.
Paul Nurse, Chief Executive and Director of the Francis Crick Institute
Genome sequences allow us to peer back into our ancestry and assist doctors in tailoring treatments for whatever ails us. But how are those not trained in genetics supposed to understand how genomes work? David Botstein, a world-class geneticist and a passionate teacher, combines these talents to offer a comprehensive primer on genetics. Its a scholarly work, but written with such clarity that it provides a Rosetta stone for those who want to translate the arcane language of genetic analysis.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 14, No. 2 Fall 1987
Oscar S. Gellein RETIRED MEMBER, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD
Abstract: This paper traces in descriptive fashion some of the developments of thought about capital maintenance during this century. The adverse consequences of neglecting the subject are mentioned after a basic review of the concepts. Contrasts among the theories from the United Kingdom and Ireland, Canada, Au-stralia and other countries are also made.
To have income is to have an increment of capital; to have a loss is to have lost some capital. Capital maintenance and income are interdependent building blocks of financial ac-counting. All other notions either derive from or build on those foundation stones. Despite that mutual dependency, they have not had equal attention in the development of financial re-porting in the United States. Neglect of capital maintenance in the development of income theory has not been without pen-alty to financial reporting. This paper traces some develop-ments of thought about capital maintenance during the twen-tieth century. The paper is largely descriptive of the issues. Attention is not directed to strengths and weaknesses of argu-ments that have been made about the issues. Sterling et al [1981] have done that well. Some brief comments are made about adverse consequences of the neglect of capital mainte-nance.
Some simple thoughts about capital maintenance and in-come are offered first. The substance of financial accounting for a business enterprise concerns investment in assets looking towards a return of and on the investment. Investment in that sense refers to the act of giving up assets in exchange for other assets to be used in producing a return on the investment. Return of the investment refers to the receipt of assets equiv-alent to the assets relinquished in making the investment. Return on the investment is income, that is, the receipt of assets in excess of the return of investment.
Capital maintenance concerns the division of the aggregate return into its two components: return of and on investment.

Fallout Script Extender
From GECK
The Fallout Script Extender, also known as FOSE, is maintained by Ian Patterson (ianpatt), Stephen Abel (behippo), and Paul Connelly (scruggsywuggsy the ferret).
Current stable version: v1
Current beta version: v1.1 beta 5
Main site: http://fose.silverlock.org
Documentation: FOSE Command Documentation
Official forum thread: Fallout Script Extender (FOSE) v1, Thread 9
How it Works (or why NOT to be afraid of FOSE)
FOSE does not edit your Fallout3.exe in any way, and as such is not dangerous to use at all. It works by running the .exe and then patching it while it is in memory in order to add in new scripting functions.
How to use FOSE with the GECK
Scripts written with FOSE's new functions must be created via the GECK after it's been loaded through fose_loader.exe. To use FOSE with the GECK:
- Extract fose_loader.exe and the necessary dll files to your Fallout 3 directory.
- Open a command prompt window and navigate to that directory.
- Type this into the command prompt:
fose_loader.exe -editor
A more convenient method is to automate this command through a shortcut:
- Create a shortcut to fose_loader.exe.
- Right-click on the shortcut and open the properties window.
- Add "-editor" to the Target field.
Note: the normal editor can open plugins with extended scripts, but will give errors if it tries to recompile them.
Compatible Versions
- FOSE v1 (Stable) supports the DVD and Steam version patched to 184.108.40.206.
- FOSE v1.1 Beta 5 supports these versions of Fallout 3 (both DVD and Steam releases):
- 188.8.131.52
- 18.104.22.168
- 184.108.40.206 (original release)
- 22.214.171.124 (alternate release, found on steam and some European patches)
Incompatible Versions
- Build 18.104.22.168: FOSE is not compatible with the original, unpatched DVD or Steam version.
- Copy Protected Versions: the following versions of Fallout 3 use copy protection schemes to encrypt the Fallout3.exe, thus making it illegal to decrypt:
- Direct2Drive (D2D) version
- Polish DVD version w/ SafeDisc protection
- Russian DVD version w/ StarForce protection
- Games for Windows Live (GFWL): when running Fallout 3 via fose_loader.exe, Live will be disabled automatically. It appears that Live periodically checks the cryptographic signature of the Fallout runtime. If the signature doesn't validate properly, Live fails. Because of this, it is unlikely that FOSE will be directly compatible with Live in the foreseeable future.
- A note on DLC: by loading Fallout3.exe instead of fose_loader.exe, you can still download DLC and updates through Live. If you have DLC, you will need to move the DLC files into the Data directory located in the Fallout 3 installation folder.
- A note on saved games: since Live stores save files in a separate folder when active, users will need to move their save games from their user profile folder in the My Documents folder to the main Saves folder in order to access them.
