Sonoma: Wine spoken here
Sonoma County's expansive geography allows diverse grape varietals to thrive. The region produces fine chardonnays, world-class pinot noir, warm-weather valley zinfandels, and high-altitude hilltop cabernets. Donna del Rey's favorites include:
- J Wine Sparkling Wines These creamy sparklers show subtle notes of citrus and almond (jwine.com).
- La Crema Pinot Noir Black cherries, floral notes, and nuances of clove and licorice typify these cool-climate pinots (lacrema.com).
- Quivira Grenache These biodynamically grown wines are light and versatile with a lovely nose of spice, earth, and fruit (quivirawine.com).
- Hanna Sauvignon Blanc Crisp, acidic, grassy flavors with a zingy finish (hannawinery.com).
- Longboard Late Harvest Semillon This luscious dessert wine has complex layers of fig, kiwi, peaches, and plum (longboardvineyards.com).

Smoked Salmon Rillettes with Sourdough Croutons
Hot-smoked salmon is thoroughly cooked by smoking it for 6 to 8 hours in an enclosure heated by fire. It can be used in most of the same preparations as cold-smoked salmon.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon chopped fresh shallot
1 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1 pound hot-smoked salmon, flaked with skin and bones removed
24 (1/2-inch-thick) slices sourdough baguette
1/4 cup olive oil
Sea salt to taste
In medium bowl use two forks to mix together butter, shallot, thyme, and nutmeg. Gently stir in salmon. Season to taste with salt. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°F. Brush both sides of baguette slices with olive oil and bake 10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Sprinkle with salt while hot. When cool, spread croutons with salmon mixture. Makes 24 appetizers. (This recipe halves easily.)
Pan-Roasted Poussin with New Potatoes and Mâche
2 (1- to 1-1/2-pound) poussin (very small chickens) or 4 small bone-in chicken breast halves (8 to 10 ounces each)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 to 3 teaspoons sea salt, divided
1/2 medium lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound tiny new or fingerling potatoes, scrubbed
4 ounces mâche or other tender, baby spring lettuce
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
Rinse chicken body cavities or chicken breast halves. Pat dry with paper towels; set aside. In small bowl combine softened butter, 1 tablespoon black pepper, and 1 to 2 teaspoons sea salt. Rub butter mixture onto chickens or chicken breast halves and under chicken skin, if possible. Tie legs to tail. Twist wing tips under back. Squeeze lemon over chickens. Set chickens aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add chickens to hot oil in roasting pan; cook on all sides until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove roasting pan from heat. Make sure chickens are on their backs (or bone-side down for chicken breast halves) in roasting pan.
In medium bowl, toss potatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining 1 teaspoon sea salt. Add potatoes to roasting pan with chickens.
Place roasting pan in oven. Roast, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until chickens are no longer pink (165°F).
Meanwhile, toss together the mâche, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cut chickens in half and serve with potatoes and salad. Makes 4 servings.
Grilled Asparagus with Spring Garlic Aioli
Chef Greenwald prefers fresh aioli, but for a quick substitute combine 3/4 cup mayonnaise; 1 bulb spring garlic, finely chopped; and 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
1 pound fresh asparagus spears
1 tablespoon good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 bulb spring garlic (white part only)*
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
1 egg yolk**
3/4 cup good-quality extra -virgin olive oil
Sea salt to taste
2 eggs, hard-cooked and shredded
Wash asparagus; break off woody bases where spears snap easily. If desired, scrape off scales. Leave spears whole. Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil and 1 teaspoon sea salt; set aside.
Finely chop spring garlic; place in large bowl with lemon juice and pinch of salt. Add egg yolk. Whisk vigorously until mixture thickens and becomes pale in color. Add oil in a thin, steady stream until aioli forms (should look like mayonnaise). Season to taste.
For charcoal grill, lay asparagus spears across grids directly over hot coals. Turn frequently to cook evenly. Grill 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. (For gas grill, preheat grill. Place asparagus spears across grid directly over heat. Cover; grill as above.) Serve with aioli. Garnish with egg shreds. Makes 4 servings.
* If spring onions are unavailable, you may use 1 finely chopped small green onion and 3 cloves of garlic, minced instead.
** If pasteurized eggs are unavailable, you may use regular eggs, however some experts believe raw eggs may be harmful to some people because of possible salmonella contamination.
Meyer Lemon Panna Cotta with Local Strawberries
Meyer lemons are a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange. Introduced to the United States from China in 1908 by Frank Meyer, they are less acidic and sweeter than regular lemons. "Meyer lemon trees grow in just about everyone's yard here," Chef Greenwald says. "Their flavor is truly sublime."
2 Meyer lemons or 2 small lemons
2-3/4 cups whipping cream
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise or 1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2 cups fresh strawberries, halved
2 tablespoon sugar
Squeeze enough juice from lemons to equal 1/4 cup; reserve 1 lemon rind. In medium saucepan combine 2 cups cream, the vanilla bean pod, the reserved lemon rind, and the 1/2 cup sugar. Heat over medium-low heat until mixture comes to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place remaining 3/4 cup cream in small bowl; sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes for gelatin to soften. Stir softened gelatin into saucepan; return to medium heat and cook until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in the 1/4 cup lemon juice. Strain to remove vanilla bean pod and lemon rind. Scrape the vanilla beans from pod. Stir vanilla beans into gelatin mixture. Divide among four 10-ounce or six 6-ounce custard cups. Cover; chill at least 4 hours or until set.
In medium bowl combine strawberries and 2 tablespoons sugar; let stand at least 5 minutes, stirring twice.
Serve in custard cups topped with strawberries or dip bottoms of custard cups into hot water for 10 seconds and loosen sides. Unmold onto dessert plates; serve with strawberries. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

BOSTON — Boston University (BU) is finishing work on its new 270,000-square-foot fitness and recreation facility. Slated to open April 1, the university hopes to use the center to recruit students, faculty and staff, and to re-establish relationships with alumni.
The estimated $90-million center includes an aquatics center with competition and recreation pools, a two-story cardiovascular fitness and weight training center, an indoor 1/8 mile elevated jogging track, a 35-foot high rock climbing wall, two gymnasiums with seven multipurpose courts, and racquetball and squash courts. The center also includes access to individualized fitness and nutrition counseling with full-service sports medicine and rehabilitation services provided by fitness professionals, a juice bar and lounge, and seven multipurpose rooms for classes such as dance, yoga, fencing and cardio fitness.
The center is part of BU's John Hancock Student Village, a $325-million project that not only includes the rec center but also the Harry Agganis Arena, a sports and entertainment facility with seating for up to 7,200 people and a student residence complex.
"Like many schools located in urban settings, BU has historically lacked a center of gravity or common meeting ground on its campus. As a result, the east and west sides of the campus were disconnected, and opportunities to maximize the 'campus experience' — which is so much of a school's appeal — were lost," according to a statement from the school. "With this $325 million investment, BU is going to create a center of gravity along with innumerable opportunities to make the campus more relevant and meaningful to faculty, staff, students and alumni — all of which will enhance the university's competitive position in the academic arena."
Full-time graduate and undergraduate students have full-membership benefits to the rec center, but in anticipation of the facility's opening, BU's Department of Physical Education, Recreation and Dance is offering three-month trial memberships to faculty, staff, alumni and part-time students at a discounted price.

Of all the brilliant cars in 2012, there were absolutely some standouts; some came as surprises and some were no-brainers. The vehicles that made our favorites list were ones that left us lying in bed at night awake, fantasizing about just a few more hours behind the wheel. These vehicles were so good in fact that they brought us seriously close to pulling out our checkbooks and plunking down our own hard-earned money.
In no specific order here are our five favorite cars of 2012.
Scion FR-S
Producing 200 horsepower from a direct-injected 2.0-liter Boxer four-cylinder engine and mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic, the FR-S is one of the finest rear-wheel drive economy sports cars of all-time.
Starting at around $24,000, the performance to price ratio of the FR-S is unprecedented not only in the modern automotive market but in the historical automotive market as well.
Developed by Subaru but paid for by Toyota, the FR-S also competes with a near-twin vehicle here in the states: the Subaru BRZ.
The FR-S is small, light, good looking, and affordable. With a well crafted but simple interior, the FR-S provides enough room for two adult passengers — even though it's technically a four-seater — and some luggage in the trunk.
While 200 horsepower doesn't seem like much these days in a sports car, the FR-S is high-revving coupe that is eager to please. What it lacks in grunt it easily makes up for with its cornering capabilities. The FR-S comes from the factory with the same tires as the European Prius. This might make some scoff but it's actually a brilliant choice. The tires provide enough grip to keep the FR-S planted to the road, but also the added benefit of being cheap to replace.
As for why we chose the FR-S over its brother the BRZ, we felt the altered suspension setup of the BRZ added with its satellite navigation unit and increased sticker price made the FR-S the obvious winner. The FR-S is stiffer, lighter, and cheaper than the BRZ, and as a corner taming economy sports car, it gets our nod.
Audi TT RS
People went head over heels for the Audi TT when it first debuted. Not only did people love its design, but some TTs were flipping over at high speeds, killing passengers in the process. To solve this problem, Audi fitted a wing on the back, reducing the lift created by its distinctive body design.
Since then, Audi has released a second generation TT along with a high-performance model, the TT RS. Unlike the first generation TT, which looked great, the RS is the one that makes us weak at the knees.
We simply weren't expecting the TT RS to be as good as it is, which is what made it even more exciting. Before we drove it, we thought Audi took a dentist's wife's car and put a bigger turbo on it. But oh boy, it's so much more.
Under the hood of the TT RS, Audi has given new life to its infamous five-cylinder engine and — just as we mentioned before — bolted a honking big turbocharger to it.
The last time Audi had a five-cylinder with a big turbo was in the first generation S4. If you were fortunate enough to drive one, you'll recall what sheer magic that engine was. This newest iteration is a 2.5-liter producing 340 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque. This cast iron block five will push the all-wheel drive TT RS to 60 MPH from a dead standstill in 4.1 seconds and onto a top speed of 174.
Just to give you some idea of how simply magical the TT RS is, we drove it back-to-back with the 662 horsepower 2013 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500. The Shelby will do 0-60 0.1 seconds faster but everywhere else, the TT RS has it beat.
Unlike turbocharged cars of the past, the TT RS pulls and pulls with seemingly no end to the powerband. The all-wheel drive and perfect suspension made quick work of sharp corners and the five-cylinder produced a soundtrack that makes us a bit tear-eyed to recall.
At $56,850, the TT RS might seem a bit steep but for the power, luxury, and sheer driving enjoyment, it's worth every penny. Consider this: we have a colleague who, once having driven the TT RS, traded in his Audi R8 for the TT RS. That's how good it is.
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
Let's open with the figures: 580 horsepower; 0-60 in four seconds; top speed of 184 MPH; 11-second quarter-mile time; $56,550 price tag. Those numbers, thanks to its supercharged small-block V8, make the ZL1 the fastest Camaro ever.
Competing directly with the $54,995 2013 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500, the ZL1 is a bit more expensive and not quite as powerful. But what the Shelby lacks, which is essentially everything at that price, the ZL1 includes as standard equipment, including; transmission cooler; differential cooler; dual-mode exhaust, and dual-mode suspension.
Fire up the ZL1 and any motoring enthusiast's senses will be alight. The loud, guttural rumble of the ZL1 is hypnotic and intoxicating. It's on the open road, however, where we really fell in love with the ZL1. Unlike, well, every American Pony car before it, the ZL1 can actually handle. The huge 6.2-liter V8-powered ZL1 is surprisingly at home doing 120 through the corners and upwards of that in the straights. At those speeds, we burned through a half-tank of gas in 20 minutes, so we don't recommend straying too far from a near-by gas station if you're going to give the ZL1 the beans.
We loved the ZL1 at 120 as much as we loved it parked on the side of the road. The interior is comfortable and the exterior is breathtaking. Although the Shelby GT500 is cheaper and has more horsepower, we'd choose the ZL1 over it any day.
Mercedes SL550
SLs of the past were rather bland in both looks and performance. In order to get an SL that really stood out and made your hair stand on end, you'd have to step up to an AMG model or, if you had a death wish, the SL Black.
Thankfully with the debut of the 2013 SL550, customers can have a perfectly brilliant — and sane – hardtop convertible at a relatively reasonable price. Starting at $105,500, the SL550 is a rich man's car. For that price, however, you get a lot. The SL features a metal folding roof that goes up or down in 20 seconds, making it a year-round convertible.
Under the hood Mercedes has placed a twin turbocharged 4.6-liter V8 producing 429 horsepower, which has been mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. While the power in the SL550 is intense, it's also very poised and predictable. Driving the SL, you'll never feel afraid for your life or that this beautiful wedge of German steel wants you dead. On the contrary, with its massaging seats, active side bolsters that inflate in the corners to hold your body, and a heater vent mounted behind the driver's head — called the headscarf – the SL cradles and massages you to 60 mph from a standstill in 4.5 seconds and onto a limited top speed of 155 mph.
The typical SL550 buyer already feels like a million bucks, simply by looking at his bank statement. The SL550 has a similar effect but quietly adds that je ne se qua that only a hundred grand German luxury convertible can.
We've only driven this one on the Leguna Seca racetrack so we can't tell you what it's like, say, driving your kids to school. We can, however, tell you what it's like to drive at one of the world's most infamous raceways: frightening; absolutely frightening, but in a good way.
The F10 M5 is frightening because it is far more capable than you are. In it, you brake later and harder than your heart would ever allow in any other car. You can also accelerate more quickly and carry that speed into corners better than you would have ever dreamed.
Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 producing 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, and mated to either a six-speed manual or seven-speed M-double clutch transmission, the new M5 is simply untouchable in the performance sedan market. What makes the new turbocharged V8 so special is that the turbochargers are mounted in the V of the engine rather than shoehorned on the outside. This means the exhaust flows into the block rather than out to the sides like on a standard V8, and it's these kinds of technical touches that make the M5 so remarkable.
The list of things to highlight about the M5 is virtually limitless. The looks are subtle, menacing, and striking. The interior is simple, well laid out, and comfortable. The engine is insatiable. Both transmissions are — when compared to the competition — in a league of their own. And the $92,000 price tag is just as impressive.
If we could see a reason for a track-taming four-door family car, the M5 would be our favorite car of the year. But when the standard 5 Series is so good, we just can't justify the extra cost of the M5.

Sonia Simon Cummings, Steve Durchslag, Roberta Friedman Cummings
Trustees, Nathan Cummings Foundation
SSC: Steve, did you feel as a spouse that you were right away involved in decision-making or was there a time when the foundation was created when you were still on the outside on the periphery of those discussions?
SD: Well I guess I suffer from chutzpah, cause I always felt from the beginning that I had something to contribute, based on my legal background and my thinking and my strong commitment, particularly in the Jewish heritage area. I felt my voice was always heard as an equal, but that might be blinders on my part.
SSC: My husband was very welcoming and I know from history that he was one of the first proponents of bringing spouses into the family foundation and I felt it a privilege. I was very nervous at first, because I knew I had to prove myself and it was challenging at times, but I worked hard and I became very involved and I do feel that it was and it is an incredible privilege. A lot of other foundations do not invite their spouse or relatives.
RFC: Rick (Cummings) would always joke about it. He would say, 'I'm an associate, but my wife's a trustee' and there was never any sense of competition or anything else and I would always encourage him. Here we are in 2011 and after many years Rick has decided to become a trustee for which now we are equals, it's an equal playing field, although I never felt anything other than equal playing field, because there isn't a great distinction.
Whether you've married in, whether you're a spouse or you're a lineal descendent or whether you're an associate or a trustee, I think that everyone plays on a level playing field.
SSC: I feel the same way as you, Roberta. With my husband I never felt competition. On the contrary, it enables us to talk about more things and really get involved and engaged in the community and in the work that we all do with intensity and passion and the caring—the common bond. So that has made us richer.
SD: And I certainly would feel that we have all benefited from the Nathan Cummings Foundation and hopefully through our participation have made the world somewhat of a better place.

There's this library with a NO cell phone policy. But it does allow laptops, Pocket PCs, etc.
Presumably patrons could skype on their laptops – would that count as phone use? And they can talk to each other, across the tables – so why not to other students in other rooms or in other cities?
Some librarians might say "but they're not using their phones for academic purposes…" Well, how do you know that? You can't police their conversations. It's kinda like a student looking at a J.Crew catalog on library computers – is it academic use? Well, it is if they're looking at online pricing trends for a marketing class.
The point is that patrons ought to be relatively quiet in the library. If they can use a laptop or a cell phone quietly, then they ought to be able to use that technology because it can help them with research. Patrons: Cell phones on SILENT or at least on MEETING mode, please. Set it to VIBRATE, or get out of the library… And don't shout your conversation in any medium.
Mobile phones aren't going away. In fact, they're becoming ever more prevalent and ever more useful. The line between 'computers' and 'phones' has long since been crossed. The line between tools like the Blackberry and the Pocket PC on one hand, and the ordinary cell phone on the other has way been crossed. Mobile phones now have web browser capabilities, file transfer ability, e-mail, simple word processors, cameras, and other applications. You might say that the cell phone is the poor man's laptop computer.

Tevez linked with Monaco move
Monaco have been given the green light from Carlos Tevez to approach Manchester City with an offer for the Argentina striker, L'Equipe reported on Tuesday.
The sports daily claimed Tevez, 29, and the newly-promoted Ligue 2 side have held secret talks in recent days with the aim of bringing the City striker to the principality ahead of their assault on the top flight.
The report added an annual net salary of €10 million helped convince Tevez, who reportedly rejected overtures from Paris Saint-Germain in December 2011.
Tevez is the latest in an impressive list of players linked to Monaco, whom reportedly have approached Radamel Falcao, 27, and are prepared to pay his current club, Atletico Madrid, €60 million for the Colombia striker.
However Monaco owner and president, Russian billionaire Dmitri Rybolovlev, is reportedly unwilling to dip into his vast personal resources until uncertainty over his club's administrative position is resolved.
The French Football League's (LFP) Administrative Council ruled in March all clubs participating in its competitions would have to be based in France for tax purposes come the end of the 2013-14 campaign or potentially face expulsion.
Monaco claim the move is specifically aimed at them as it would nullify their current fiscal advantages, which mean foreign players pay no income tax, while both foreigners and French squad members cost the club much less to employ than their France-based counterparts.
Monaco appealed to the French Football Federation (FFF), but initial talks to resolve the situation faltered with the club and the FFF claiming the other party said a compensation package of €200 million would maintain the status quo. A further round of conciliatory discussions are scheduled for May 22.
The situation has provoked a mixed response from Ligue 1 presidents with some threatening to boycott Monaco games next season if the new regulations are not enforced. Marseille president Vincent Labrune told RMC a solution needed to be found.
"In sporting terms, it's a good thing to see Monaco promoted, because they're a good team," Labrune said. "But personally, there is problem in terms of fairness. I just want the rules to be the same for everyone.
"I'm not in favour of financial compensation, but there are the rules of sport. They can come back into Ligue 1, no problem, but they have to make an effort."

TBS has greenlighted a police procedural spoof called "Tribeca" from Steve Carell and his wife, actress Nancy Carell.
The single-camera, half-hour comedy was developed by the Carells in conjunction with Steve's production company, Carousel Television. TBS' new comedy vice president, Thom Hinkle, headed up Carousel during the show's development and helped sell it to TBS before joining the network early last month.
"Tribeca" seems to be in the same vein as the new Fox cop comedy and Andy Samberg vehicle, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." It tips the traditional police procedural on its head while telling the story of Angie Tribeca. Tribeca is a 10-year vet of the Los Angeles Police Department's Really Heinous Crimes Unit (RHCU).
The cops in the show are portrayed as hilarioulsy clueless when it comes to fighting crime.
TBS is at a crossroads when it comes to original scripted programming. The news about "Tribeca" comes a week before the premiere of the network's newest comedy, the multi-camera "Ground Floor," by "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence, starring John C. McGinley, Skylar Astin and Briga Heelan.
Both shows are intended to build on the success of TBS' shows "Cougar Town," "Men at Work" and "Sullivan & Son."
[For the record, Nov. 6, 6:45 p.m.: A previous version of this post misspelled Steve Carell's last name as Carrell in the headline and caption.]

BRISTOL Rovers head coach and former Salisbury City player/manager Darrell Clarke is part of the best man team at Mikey Harris's wedding with ITV sports presenter Sarah Gomme.
Clarke will play his part when the young city boss ties the knot at The Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Great Hampden on Saturday.
Soon after, the newly-wedded couple are setting off to Italy for their honeymoon.
"I've tried to get things nailed down before the wedding as I want to spend time with my new wife on our honeymoon," said Harris, 29.
"She's well aware that my phone will have to be switched on at certain points in the honeymoon.
There will be some times when I have to speak to players, managers and agents. But that is the nature of my job, which Sarah accepts. That's a plus for me because if she didn't there could be a divorce before the end of our holiday!"
Meanwhile on the pitch, ex-Whites skipper Brian Dutton has left Old Sarum for Lee Bradbury's Havant & Waterlooville – the side he last netted against.
The 29-year-old, who made more than 150 appearances for Whites over four years, signed a deal with the Conference South outfit last week.
Dutton, pictured inset, a central defender, typed on Twitter: "I've just put pen to paper with my new club! Looking forward to a new chapter and another promotion! Can't wait to get started."
He skippered City in their promotion winning 2012/13 season under Darrell Clarke, where he picked up his last goal during their 5-1 pasting over Havant.
But following City's first defeat on their return to Conference Premier, new boss Mikey Harris handed the captain's armband to fellow defender Glenn Wilson. Injuries and not being selected saw Dutton appear just 20 times in 46 league matches.
Harris added: "Brian was keen to have a new challenge and I'm pleased he's got himself sorted at Havant.
"I'd like to place on record my thanks to him for his services over the past few years. His goal at Grimsby in the FA Cup will live long in the memory and captaining the side to promotion is a fantastic achievement that very few people experience in their careers."

Back in early December, I shared that I was planning a Parisian tablescape for New Year's Eve. Here are Parisian Party Hats for New Years Eve.
Parisian Party Hats for New Years Eve
I thought it might be fun to give you a sneak peek and provide a tutorial for pretty party hats.
To create the hat base I used a free template found at Jones Design Company. I had some old atlas pages that worked well.
Time Saving TIP: Print the image directly onto heavy paper versus making a pattern, tracing and then cutting out the template.
After the hat was cut out various bits of leftover tinsel and trim were hot glued to the bottom. The two edges were then glued together to create a cone shape.
Old clock face images were found on Google and The Graphics Fairy. White craft glue and glitter add a bit of sparkle.
Scrapbooking paper punches in various sizes helped to create a rosette of sorts.
Chipboard letters and feathers also add some fun.
Pearl picks propel the pizazz.
Bits of tinsel or pom poms finish off the top tip.
Go HERE to view the Parisian Party.
See you on Monday for Parisian Party Food!

Hedge fund chieftains Dan Loeb of Third Point and Bill Ackman of Pershing Square sparred over Herbalife Ltd. just ahead of the company\'s closely-watched investor meeting, while the Securities and Exchange Commission reportedly set up a probe of the nutritional products specialist on Wednesday.
The potent mix of news and and social media chatter added up to a busy trading day for Herbalife , prompting one Wall Street veteran to advise smaller investors to exercise extra caution on the stock for now.
The drama unfolded early in the day, with trading of Herbalife briefly halted prior to a filing that laid out Loeb\'s new holding of 8.9 million shares, or about 8%, in the company.
After the halt, the stock initially spiked up to $42 a share — its highest level in weeks. The stock held more moderate gains by midday, only to fall lower on reports the S.E.C. opened up an inquiry into Hebalife after Ackman\'s allegations that the company is a pyramid scheme. A spokeswoman for the SEC declined to comment
The stock ended the session with a solid gain of 4.2% at $39.95 a share, at the closing bell.
Mike Holland, a longtime money manager on Wall Street, said regular investors should try to avoid getting caught up in the fight over Herbalife between two deep-pocketed hedge funds.
\"There\'s smart people on either side of this,\" Holland told MarketWatch. \"Generally, the [investing] public ends up a loser if they get involved in either side.\"
Loeb did not return a request from MarketWatch for comment on his new stake in Herbalife, but he said in a letter to clients the company\'s stock could be worth $55-$68 a share.
An Herbalife spokesman declined to comment on Third Point\'s stake.
In a statement after Loeb\'s disclosure, Ackman said:
\"The goal of our…presentation was to shine a spotlight on the company so that the world better understands the facts about Herbalife. The outcome of this investment is not about Pershing Square or anyone else who is long or short the stock. To the extent another investor, long or short, brings additional sunlight to the situation, we welcome them.\"
As the plot around the company thickens, Fox Business Network reported that Ackman is expecting Herbalife to take legal action against him.
Herbalife also drew positive comments with distributors of the company mostly affirming their faith in the company in a story in Monday\'s Wall Street Journal .
Ackman earlier told Bloomberg News he\'ll spend \"whatever it costs and do whatever is required to make sure the world understands the facts about this company.\"
The company\'s stock has been fighting its way back after its sharp drop on the heels of Ackman\'s public attack on Dec. 20
The tirade was followed by a response from Robert Chapman, an activist investor who laid out a case against Ackman on Dec. 29.
Herbalife Chief Executive Officer Michael Johnson has also called Ackman\'s allegation\'s \"bogus.\"
More is expected from Herbalife as it readies a presentation to analysts on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Loeb\'s move has drawn a response on Twitter:
Wow. The Loeb Third Point rally/squeeze in
$HLF lasted all of 35 minutes. Shares halted at 10:05 after big pop. But back in red by 10:40.
Dan Loeb\'s Third Point takes 8.2% stake in Herbalife ahead of tomorrow\'s meeting. Let the games begin!
Lending a level head to the furor over Herbalife, D.A. Davidson & Co analyst Timothy Ramey reiterated his buy rating on the stock late last week and praised as \"brilliant\" Ackman\'s move to attack Herbalife during a quiet period for the company and ahead of the holidays.
\"Herbalife will not, in our view, offer a point-by-point refutation of Ackman's slides,\" Ramey said in a note to clients. \"Instead, we think the company would be best-served to educate investors about the industry generally and HLF in particular — why it legally and ethically offers opportunity and changes lives. Herbalife has a good story to tell and will tell it with recognized third-party endorsers and experts.\"

Sarasota is a community with arts and culture at its core -- and that idea extends even to its shopping centers.
So when Bee Ridge Plaza owner Lindy Heim was trying to come up with a way to help support the tenants in her aging shopping center, she turned to art. Heim commissioned local artist Lisa Sparling to design and paint two wildly colorful murals on the walls of her plaza, at 4100 Bee Ridge Road, that would draw the attention of passersby.
One mural, called Sunburst, is a bright and funky framed sun with rays that stretch out to the very edge of the concrete wall. The other is sunny scene set across a field of tall grass, but with a three-dimensional twist -- three painted bicycles are mounted on the wall in front of the mural.
"Bee Ridge Plaza is an older building and not easily seen from the street," Heim said of the plaza, which is smack between Tamiami Trail and Interstate 75. "Since Sarasota is known as an arts center, it only made sense to find an artist that could help me support the local businesses in my center."
Heim says many of her tenants, such as Sarasota Bicycle Center, Cracker Jack's Pub, Chase's Pool Service & Supplies, Bee Ridge Pharmacy, Bee Ridge Barber and Bee Ridge Books, are locally owned and longtime tenants.
"Folks driving on Bee Ridge will surely remember the mural and how to find the center shops," said Sarasota Bicycle Center owner Mike Kemp.
Florist adds showroom
Bee Ridge Florist, a locally owned and operated floral company, is expanding with a new showroom that will incorporate elements of its All Event Rental & Design business. The public is invited to attend a grand opening event on May 18, with food, drinks and giveaways.
Cosimo's reopens on Clark
Cosimo's Italian Restaurant, formerly known as Cosimo's Brick Oven, has reopened at Honore Avenue and Clark Road. The move comes eight months after the restaurant closed its longtime Southgate Mall location. Cosimo's owners declined to comment on the restaurant's mall exit. The new location, at 5501 Palmer Crossing Circle, debuted early this month.

AIDS 2014 Video Blog #5: Activist Theater, Condom Tryouts and a Mystery Man Revealed
July 25, 2014
This week, Gilead was targeted by hepatitis C treatment activists over the stunning price of its new hepatitis C drug, sofosbuvir (Sovaldi): US$1,000 per pill for each day of a 12-week regimen. Because the medication is both more effective and offers a shorter treatment period than previous therapies, activists see the drug as key to ending the hepatitis C scourge as we know it -- but warn that the price could keep that from happening. They took action here at the conference, and one of those events is in this video.
Meanwhile in Melbourne, two gay characters spar in a boxing ring over issues of HIV disclosure in "Box Me," and a series of monologues adapted from transcripts of real people's dialogue brings immediacy to HIV in "STATUS," both of which are playing in the city during AIDS 2014. Come along for a peek of the shows and a chat with their directors.
And among other gems in this video blog -- which includes my skepticism about the aesthetics of the female condom and a chat with a number of prominent figures at AIDS 2014, such as the incoming (and first-ever openly gay) president of the International AIDS Society -- is the Big Reveal: my volunteer cameraman, who has been tirelessly schlepping my equipment, shooting tape and dutifully laughing at my jokes for the past week.
As you'll quickly be able to see, with Theo around, it's been a lot easier to get the interest of potential interview subjects. Add a genuine humility to his Aussie charm, and you'll understand why this exhausting week has had a bright spot.
Thanks for watching, and please be well.

Even professional chefs get the Thanksgiving Day jitters. Just ask Quinn and Karen Hatfield, the couple who own Hatfield's restaurant (he's the chef, she's the pastry chef) and the recently opened Sycamore Kitchen.
"I feel like I forget how to cook a turkey every year," says Quinn, who's inclined to prepare it differently each time: roasted; grilled; the legs removed, deboned and rolled into a roulade stuffed with foie gras or chorizo; butterflied; deep-fried.
This year it's smoked turkeys (a couple of Willie Birds ordered from Harvey's Guss), prepared on his Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, a Father's Day gift from Karen, their 2-year-old son, Bennett, and 5-year-old daughter, Paige.
Squash recipe: In the Nov. 10 Saturday section, a recipe for Weiser Farms roasted squash called for " 1/4 sherry vinegar." The measurement is 1/4 cup. —
Also on the holiday menu: a potato and mushroom gratin layered with béchamel and goat cheese and topped with a flaky pastry crust, cherry-pear mostarda for the turkey, roasted squash and Karen's pumpkin pie with browned-butter-pecan-and-pepita streusel.
Smoking the turkey is a preemptive maneuver on Quinn's part. "Cooking out of the house frees up kitchen space," he says. "I'm a big proponent of not fighting over the oven."
No matter how he cooks the turkey, it is always brined, Quinn says, with a mixture of water, salt, brown sugar, garlic, peppercorns, rosemary and thyme. "Brine is critical," Quinn says. "It helps get that beautiful color and absorb the smoke flavor."
His brining tip: Place the turkey in a bucket filled with brine, then top it with ice so it doesn't have to go into the refrigerator. "Trying to find room for a bucket in the refrigerator is impossible, and we have a big fridge." (The same brine, by the way, is used before roasting the turkey breasts at the Sycamore Kitchen for Karen's excellent turkey sandwiches.)
The gratin, warm and rich and cheesy, is a throwback to the Hatfields' early Thanksgivings, back when they used portobellos instead of maitake mushrooms. "One of our best Thanksgiving Days was in a tiny New York apartment after getting off of work at Jean-Georges, crammed with people, with no ventilation, so we'd have to open the windows but it'd be freezing outside," says Karen.
Since then they've moved into a house in the lush hills of Laurel Canyon, and this Thanksgiving it's a tossup between hosting dinner on their patio or, as is tradition, heading to the Pacific Palisades home of Karen's parents. "It's great, two chefs doing the cooking," says Karen's dad, Larry Friedman. "But I'm the one dishwasher."
On the Hatfields' kitchen counter is a recent farmers market score: a pile of confection and kabocha squashes from Weiser Farms for roasting with honey, sherry vinegar, a little chile de arbol, rosemary and black pepper until the cut edges are browned and slightly curled.
"Kabocha is my favorite," says Quinn. "You can make it savory; you can use it in dessert. It has a deeper flavor. And you can eat the skin."
Karen always makes extra desserts. Being chefs, "we don't know how to cook for just six," she says. "And we don't hold back."
The same dough that tops the gratin can be used for an apple galette. Cut the dough into a desired shape, top it with thinly sliced apples and brush them with jam, then bake.
Her pièce de résistance might be the pumpkin pie. "I never make the same pumpkin pie recipe twice. But this one we've been doing on weekends at the Sycamore Kitchen, so I'm kind of fond of it." Her crust is among the flakiest. She says it all comes down to technique. All of her pie dough is mixed by hand (no food processor), folding and rolling the butter in, almost like a rough puff pastry dough. "It can make a mess, but once you're in the habit of doing it, it yields a more flaky, delicate crust. Doing it by hand is the only way you can get a feel for what you're doing.
"I'm always looking for the perfect pumpkin pie recipe," not too sweet with a dark crust ("brown is good"), "not too much spice but a little is nice, the right texture — not too firm, not too soft."
She cuts into her pumpkin pie, revealing a custardy interior and layers of flaky, golden-brown crust. This one might be it.

Last night at Re/Code's Code Conference, Microsoft announced a real-time, multilingual translation beta called Skype Translate. The service can mediate between two video chatters who speak different languages by providing text and audio translation after each person finishes speaking. Currently the service works for English and German, but Microsoft says that it will support other languages soon. The beta will be released later this year.
Realistically, Skype Translate won't be ready to take over for interpreters at the U.N. anytime soon. But the fact that it's coming from a large company like Microsoft and being tested on a really mainstream product like Skype shows that we're actually making progress toward a Star Trek-like universal translator—and that's amazing.
There's been tons of research into things like automatic speech-to-text transcription, textual translation (like Google Translate and Bing Translator), and digital speech recognition. But these are difficult machine learning problems to solve. The big issue is that accuracy needs to be near 100 percent for these services to actually be useful. For example, a recent DARPA speech-to-speech translation program called TransTac achieved 80 percent accuracy, which was a fascinating and significant step, but still not enough for regular use. There are also consumer apps like Vocre that offer services very similar to Skype Translate.
The difference here is that Microsoft is behind this service. Sure, the company may be struggling with its vision for tablets and other next-generation products, but it's still a major player, and Skype is pretty ubiquitous. Whether Skype Translate is a hit right away or, more likely, it takes years to refine, Microsoft is being bold in bringing the technology to the mainstream now. It's a good thing for tech, but maybe not for Microsoft. The company had better be sure that it can deliver because Skype Translate's debut will probably fuel competition, and someone else may end up making a better product that takes off. So what? The end result for the consumer will be real-time video chat translation that works. And that's all we want—we don't care who we get it from.

Most people go to the Lewiston Jazz Festival for the music and I'm here to say "Me, too!"
I am also going for the food. The next few days I will give you my Jude The Foodie take on a way to plan your culinary experience along with your listening pleasure.
I have the honor of singing to honor Canada and the United States of America before the headliner, Diane Schuur, who sings on the main stage at 8:00 pm. She is a Grammy winner and I hope I get to meet her…how cool! Check out the Historic Lewiston Jazz Festival website for many more details.
Meanwhile, since this is my own blog, allow me to do some shameless self promotion. I along with my talented singing partner Loretta Frankovitch and fast fingered accompanist Claudia Andres will be performing at the Orange Cat Coffee Company at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 25, 2012
If I could sing while I cook and make a fine living I'd quite my delightful day job before you can say Accidental Jazz!

Staying Home (or "Opting Out") Won't Save Your Marriage
Thursday, August 8, 2013
This week, the New York Times has yet another article about the dynamics of managing careers, marriage, and parenting. The "Opt-Out Generation Wants Back In" by Judith Warner looks at what happened to women who ended up staying home. The article discusses the inequity in their marriages and the implications of it. In this post, I share my take on the issues.

Great market research considers all sides of a business decision. It leads to tough choices and doesn't dance around recommendations. Above all, it provides context and clarity.
Scroll for more clarity.
Businesses need clear direction. But the world is complex. Market research that ignores that complexity is often simplistic, superficial or wrong. We don't cut through complexity. We deal with it. We factor it into our research. We filter and refine it.
Answers that resolve the divide between complexity and clarity. Answers that are correct. If this is interesting to you, read some stories of how and for whom Dig has worked. Or, see who's behind Dig. Have complex questions? Need clear answers?
Dig brings market research into the real world. This requires us to integrate complexity – business questions, competitive contexts in which consumers make choices, and methodological decisions. We can do this because our senior consultants collaborate internally and with clients on every project to develop custom-designed solutions that address the business' needs. Our methods are more labour intensive, but they deliver superior results.
We eagerly look outside of market research, and then integrate the opportunities we discover into advanced methodologies and ways of delivering data. We don't ask people why they think or behave a certain way; we derive it. We don't ask people what they will do; we create simulated decision environments and allow them to act. Wherever possible, the numbers we present are those that matter to the business: volume, revenue and profit.
A lot of market research lives in a parallel universe, where people know why they do what they do, where their choices are logical, where they can predict their own behaviour. It's a place where methodologies developed years ago, that no longer reflect current thinking, are permitted to survive. This universe has its own language. A language of top two box scores and performance vs. normative databases that are filled with failed ideas. This language is divorced from the language of business.
This other universe exists because it benefits many market research vendors. It allows for simplistic, scalable methodologies managed by junior staff. But this universe does not benefit market research users. Those who enter it find that research often becomes an obstacle to change. We Dig people have all seen this universe, clocked its failings, and created a better one of our own. Have complex questions? Need clear answers?
We invest in our business and in our industry. Here are some of the things we are thinking about and working on.
We believe the marriage of big data and market research leads to deeper insights and action-oriented prescriptive analytics. This means getting a business' behavioural, transactional, and social data out of their silos and combining it with customized primary research. To facilitate this integration, our data scientists have developed a suite of custom APIs and platforms like Dig Sandbox.
Integrating the latest in technology is one of Dig's core values so our data scientists consistently use the latest machine learning and AI to refresh old methodologies and generate new ones.
Upsiide is a mobile app that engages the next generation in market research. It uses a swipe-left, swipe-right interface to assess ideas. The respondent task is simple, but it allows for sophisticated analytics.
We have used TURF (Total Unduplicated Reach and Frequency) to help companies make a variety of optimizations (menu, product line-up, coupon) since 2010. We now have an online tool that uses custom algorithms which allows for advanced analyses to be done quickly on a simple, self-serve interface.
We created tools to make data, particularly big data, easy to interpret. Network and correspondence maps can be created by our analysts, or by our clients, in a matter of minutes.
We are a multicultural company in a multicultural city. To further understand our world, we created the syndicated Newcomer Financial Monitor Report that helps Canadian financial institutions understand and assist newcomers.
We are delving into how perceptions on recreational marijuana are leading to legal and behavioural changes, and how legalization will cascade into adjacent industries: alcohol; quick serve restaurants, and consumer packaged goods. The Cannabis Culture Report helps us, and our clients, predict and prepare for this change.
To find out more about what Dig is thinking about and creating, please visit our blog.
We help our clients understand the market. We translate that understanding into action. We build a business case for change. And we speak in the language of business.
We have experienced strong growth since our launch in 2010. This creates opportunities for learning and career advancement. The roles we have listed here are our perspective on what we need. But we try to be open-minded. If you think you would be a great addition to the Dig team and have a different vision of what role you can play, please contact us.
We are focused on building a better market research agency. What does "better" mean? The most important thing to understand is that we have tools, approaches and a perspective on how research should be done, but we do not sell 'canned' methodologies. So if you want to manage an established process, Dig is not the place for you. People who succeed at Dig Insights either have a fantastic technical understanding of market research or are willing to build this understanding. Ideal team members are smart, creative and fun. They use quantitative research to work through complex questions and deliver clear answers. They question established research practices and are passionate about helping our clients to move their businesses forward. They are comfortable working in a fast moving, flat organization.
We are always looking for talented individuals to join our team, especially in the following positions:
Please send a copy of your resume to email@example.com for consideration.
Please note that only applicants who are selected for an interview will be contacted.
Dig Insights welcomes and encourages applications from people with disabilities. Accommodations are available on request for candidates taking part in the selection process.
Dig Insights is an Equal Opportunity Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration.
My background before joining Dig Insights was being a full time Student at Carleton University, once I graduated, I worked different jobs until I found my passion for Human Resources.
I think 3 years from now, there will be a new social media platform to help transform market research into something new. Twitter and Facebook are excellent tools, but it would be fun to have a new social media platform to target any market with.
If not market research, I would take film classes and direct a film. Film is another passion of mine and it would be a dream to watch Quentin Tarantino direct a film.

Forests fires are a natural ecological phenomenon. Effective fire management should endeavour to exploit the positive role of fires while mitigating its negative impacts.
Understanding the linkages between fire ecology and forest fire management as well as how fires impact the health of watersheds in protected areas is critical for implementing effective conservation initiatives in Viet Nam.
The workshop 'Impacts of Current Fire Management Practices on Biodiversity and Watersheds in Protected Areas of Vietnam' hasgenerated an improved understanding of forest ecology in Viet Nam.
In mid-September, Protected Area practitioners, managers, fire specialists, and policy makers gathered together at this workshop to learn more about fire ecology. The workshop was jointly organized by Viet Nam Forest Protection Department (FPD), the World Conservation Union (IUCN), and the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. The workshop was made possible with generous sponsorship from FPD, The Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) and the United State Agency for International Development (USAID).
Workshop attendees participated in debates that explored the importance of fire to forest ecosystems, forest fire policy and regulations; prescribed burning; and forest fire and biodiversity in the context of global climate change.
The current protected area policy of Viet Nam restricts the use of fire as a management practice. Protected Area forest managers must prevent forest fires and sometimes resort to management actions that are detrimental to the forest's natural ecosystem, such as keeping water levels high during the dry season.
The workshop concluded with the following recommendations: FPD should revise regulations that enables effective fire management in protected areas; more studies of fire ecology should be conducted and awareness on the role of forest fire in ecosystems should be improved; and FPD should collaborate with international partners to improve fire management in Viet Nam.

While I write this post, I am munching on Lankaaster, aged Vieilli cheese and crackers. I purchased it at the Glengarry Fine Cheese store north of Lancaster. http://glengarryfinecheese.com/
These are the experiences that make a trip so worthwhile. To enjoy the local products. I would have purchased more but travel can make it difficult. My little brick made it home and through security and to the USA.
It is very flat around Lancaster.
I was going in search of the Lancaster Library. It is actually a branch of the S.D. & G. County Libraries.
The library is situated on the main street of Lancaster. The website gives a listing of the locations of the S.D.&G. Libraries with hours and more. http://www.sdglibrary.ca/
I just stumbled onto this today:
There is a S.D.&G. Branch in Cornwall. It is apparently the Administrative Offices and they are on Facebook. I also found that there are a lot of Video Tutorials on You Tube for this library system.
My goal in this library was to see what it had in genealogical sources. I entered the library and much to my surprise I saw Penny. She is the person I met at the Glengarry Archives. I was very happy to see her. We chatted happily.
The Local History section of this library is in a little room off to the left as you enter. It is not a very big library but it was comfortable.
I finished up at the Lancaster Library and headed out. here are some views of the area around Lancaster.

July 6, 2004. One moment, 18-year-old Brian Boyle was driving home from swim practice. The next, he was in a hospital bed, unable to speak or move. A natural athlete, Brian was now using all his lessons learned from team sports to survive. "Sometimes you do everything right, and life still doesn't follow the path you thought you'd be on," he says.
A dump truck had broadsided his car, and he needed immediate surgery. His heart had been pushed from one side of his chest to the other. He was resuscitated eight times. The only physical hope for his survival was the gift of blood. Sixty percent of Brian's blood was replaced through transfusions given by volunteer donors.
As he inched his way back to life, Brian wanted to reassure his parents. "I was their only child," he says. "I wanted to give them a sign I hadn't stopped fighting. What better way than to smile?" Then, gradually, he squeezed hands, wiggled his fingers, and blinked. "Once I was able to talk, I never wanted to be quiet again," he laughs.
Two months later, when Brian entered rehab, he knew he wanted to make a difference. "I was alive! I wanted to take my experiences and help others. I started at the very foundation of my recovery—the blood donors, who were there from the get-go."
He began by giving testimonials and speaking about blood donation, then by sponsoring 5K races for blood donation, still later by hosting blood drives. Now as a volunteer spokesperson for national blood campaigns, he wears the American Red Cross emblem proudly at all his athletic events.
"Blood is needed every day for emergencies like mine, as well as for those with chronic conditions. For nearly 5 million people every year, a blood donation can make the difference between life and death. I am living proof of this."
Brian's determination and athletic spirit led to a rapid recovery. He'd make a new goal every day. By December, he was walking and, soon after, started swimming. Several months later, he stepped onto his new college campus and swam his first stroke with his college team.
Now there was no holding Brian back. In 2007, Brian finished his first Ironman triathlon. "I had lost 100pounds and had only weeks to train for it,"he says. "My story of survival made me believe I could attempt these races. When I crossed the finish line, I knew I was fully healed."
In 2009, Brian made his own first blood donation at the hospital that brought him back to life. Brian graduated from college with honors and is now a public speaker about the patient's perspective when dealing with health issues. "My work with the Red Cross has made all the pain and suffering worthwhile," he says. "I am blessed."
Today, Brian blogs about racing and blood donation at redcrossblood.org/ironheart

Kansas notaries public are not state officers; however, they are considered public servants of the state. Regardless of who has bonded the notary, purchased the supplies for the notary or paid the application fee, the individual notary is responsible for following all Kansas laws.
Under Kansas law a notary public has the specific authority to take acknowledgements, administer oaths and affirmations, take a verification upon oath or affirmation, witness or attest a signature, certify or attest a copy, note a protest, and any other act permitted by law. However, a Kansas notary may not do any of the above if the notary has a direct financial or beneficial interest in the transaction. In general, if a notary is named in a document, or is signing a document, he or she should not notarize it.
Kansas law does not require notaries public to keep a journal of notarial acts. However, keeping a journal ensures that the notary has an accurate record of all transactions that could protect the notary if any action is ever questioned.
Notaries public often receive questions or requests from individuals to perform many other actions outside of these specific duties. Please refer to the FAQ section of our Web site for some commonly asked questions about the responsibilities or duties of a Kansas notary.

The Automated Display of Maps and Images from the Web
or "How to Make your old Computer Download and Display Weather Maps for Public Viewing"
Book Description:
By Chapter:
Designed and written for:
|The Working System:
Map #2: US Severe Weather
How it works:
The web contains a variety of weather maps that are updated continuously throughout the day. This book describes how to download a series of these maps to a dedicated computer and display them in a continuous loop. The specific images that are downloaded can be changed by simply inserting another web address. The system can also display a series of webcam images.
Once the maps or webcam images are downloaded, they are shown in a continuous loop using the full screen of your Macintosh display. No menu titles are visible. The amount of time that each image is shown is adjustable. Ten seconds is sufficient in most cases. The display of maps loops continuously. At a pre-determined interval, usually an hour, the display program stops, the images are deleted and new images are downloaded. Once downloaded, the display program starts displaying the new maps and images.
The "show" can be set to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It can also be turned on and off at certain times and days of the week. For example, it can be set to work only on weekdays during working hours. Some Macintosh models can be set to turn on and off at certain times.
Memory usage is kept to a minimum by using AppleScript and a series of smaller programs. This makes the system ideal for older computers. Eight megabytes is the recommended minimum. No web browser is needed.
How to get the book:
The Automated Display of Maps and Images from the Web book is available as a PDF file from Michael Peterson. All instructions and access to software are contained in the 66 page book. The book contains a link to an on-line site with updated information on available weather maps and changes in programs and operating systems which may affect your implementation.
The book does not describe a single program. Rather, it describes how a series of programs can be used to transform an otherwise interactive computer to work in an automated fashion. These programs are combination of freeware (no cost), postcardware (requiring you only to send a postcard to the author), and shareware (only a small payment). Of the two shareware programs, one ceases to function two weeks after the initial usage if the registration fee of $40 is not paid. The second shareware program is $10.
