The following is an email sent Saturday evening by Sara Leiva, CFCA coordinator in CFCA Project Valparaiso, Chile, to Henry Flores, director of Communications Center in El Salvador, about her first impressions of the 8.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Chile early Saturday morning.
Dear Henry,
Good afternoon. Thank you very much for sharing the worries and concerns of the CFCA community. We have power in some areas of Valparaiso, Chile, and I was able to send this email from my sister's house.
It was 3:35 a.m., when the earthquake started. We are kind of used to this because Chile is an area with high possibilities of earthquakes; however, this earthquake kept going longer than usual. It was then when my husband, Luis, our son and I tried to secure ourselves in the safest section of our apartment.
The noise was terrible. In spite of having the lights off, they began turning on and off by themselves. Shortly after that, the power went off. From my home, you can usually see all of Valparaiso and ViÒa del Mar, but when I looked outside, everything was dark. The water was off, too. Everything was full of dust, and phones lines had collapsed.
Some time later, some of my CFCA colleagues started to phone me, because we could not call out. Praise God, they were fine. At this moment, I can say that my family is well, too. Praise God, the construction in Chile is strong and can withstand the full force of the earthquakes.
As soon as we had daylight, I went to the CFCA office. On my way to there, I saw some areas of Valparaiso. They are very affected because they are historical constructions and not as strong as present-day buildings. I saw houses collapsed and many destroyed walls. The CFCA office looks OK. When I entered, I saw everything on the floor, the walls have cracks and the place is full of dust.
One of the walls on the first floor have collapsed, and there was water coming out from somewhere. I contacted some firemen who were working in the area, and they helped me close it. The firemen told me that I needed to report the damages because some of the walls are loose and dangerous. They suggested that we evacuate the office building.
We immediately took the files and other important things to the houses of some of the staff members to keep them safe. We knew that in situations like this there is always a high risk of robbery. After that, I visited the house of some of the staff members: Luis Olivares, Olga and Mauricio. We need to contact a friend of ours who is an engineer to have him assess the damages we have in the office.
The most affected area is located south from Valparaiso, and at this moment, we are in alert of tsunamis. The islands in front of Valparaiso are being affected by the high waves.
Henry, we strongly believe that our CFCA families are very scared, without running water, power or communications, but we are hopeful that they are well. As soon as we receive more news, we will notify you. We hope to have a steadier channel of communication, because we wonít be able to go back to our office for some time.
Thank you for your concern. I will be in touch.

[Yes, yes... Ramses is not smart enough to figure out that he will recover the money from the next bet :-)]
The beautiful Tina is Sid's girl friend. With a red clip holding her ponytail, she loves hanging out with Sid... She's sweet, but gets jealous pretty soon. She loves shopping and gets distracted pretty easily.
The guy with the blue cap, Ramses is intelligent and often Sid's partner in crime. He's the quiet type, but a lot of things keep going on under his blue cap.
The guy with glasses, he's the geek (you guessed it) of the group. Keeg enjoys doing miscellaneous things in his spare time, from creating weird gadgets to executing complex programs and writing his original algorithms
Sid's best friend, Rahul is proud to be the guy with proper hair. His favourite passtime is thinking of ways to nail Sid down. And when is he's busy, he is actually executing his plans. Little does he know that Sid is not completely oblivious to his tricks.
The Boss:
The boss is a pain in the gang's rears. Most of the times, he ends up giving trouble to Sid. The boss isn't necessarily a boss, but represents the authoritative personality, like principal or dean of colleges, boss or manager of companies, and so on. And in Artistick, the boss has shown signs of driving on the wrong side of the road, if you know what I mean ;-)

Solving my clothing delima one bid at a time.
My friends, I want to thank you for advising me to check out Ebay to solve our clothing problems.
I'm happy to say I'm having a very sultry affair with this Ebay and it's paying off quite lusciously.
So far, I've purchased two dress shirts (one new, one used) and one pair of new dress pants for Clay. Normally I would have paid around $200 for those three items, but I only shelled out $30. I know!!!! It's like Heaven has opened up and rained Ebay on my head.
Right now I'm in a bidding war with some awful person that wears the same size jeans as I do. She has no idea who she's bidding against, I think if she did she would have mercy and stop bidding on those Calvin Kline jeans that need to be on my body!!!!
Don't worry, I do have a bid limit. I'm still the cheapest person in the world and I think I will be saying goodbye forever to those very cute Calvin Kline jeans that should be covering my big bodacious self. Dang it.
I also hit a thrift store a few weeks ago when I visited my sister. I spent $7 on a new Gap back pack that was full of playstation games and music cds, two shirts, one wool skirt, adult sized snow pants, rain jacket and several sweatshirts for the boys and Clay. I was surprised some of the clothes were in great condition and were name brands like Abercrombie, Gap, Carhart and American Eagle. My boys have been having a great time with the cds they found in the back pack. SCORE!
I told Clay that I might be able to cloth our family for around $1000 a year at the rate I'm going.
I tell ya, it's time consuming and somewhat irritating doing this debt thing, but I dig the challenge. Mostly, I appreciate all of you that have helped point me to some great resources. Thank you!
Now, I've got to go check my bids.

FTC Wants More Transparency From Data Brokers
FTC Asks Congress to Require Firms to Give Consumers Greater Control Over Their Personal Information
Congress should require data brokers to tell consumers more about how they collect and use information and give consumers greater control over their personal data, the Federal Trade Commission said on Tuesday.
Data brokers assemble profiles on nearly all U.S. consumers by gathering information from credit- and debit-card transactions, public records, online tracking cookies and smartphones, among other sources. In a long-delayed report, the commission said the companies operate with a "fundamental lack of transparency."...

Label Biography
Blending influences both classic and contemporary, from the outermost reaches of dubstep, hip hop and beyond, Slugabed has received unanimous praise for his debut album 'Time Time, released on the Ninja Tune label in May 2012. Under his Slugabed alias, 23 year-old Greg Feldwick creates music which is at once complex, deep, thoughtful and above all distinctive. It channels the energy of the best of today's bass music, through spacey bleeps and meditative melodies to explore the outermost reaches of electronic music making today.
Originally hailing from Bath, UK, Feldwick relocated to Brighton in 2008, where he played an instrumental role in the success of local club night Donky Pitch for which he still holds a residency. The first rumblings of appreciation from his peers came at this time, from Slugabed's initial pool of 12-inches. Releases for the Ramp Recordings and Stuff Records labels were the first introduction for many to his work, with both demonstrating his ability to combine intelligent and original production skills with serious dancefloor appeal. Strong club and radio support followed from a wide range of respected DJs including Mary Anne Hobbs, Mark Pritchard, Benji B, Laurent Garnier and Surgeon as well as Tom Ravenscroft and Huw Stevens on BBC Radio 1.
With an already impressive catalogue of official remixes for the likes of Starkey, Eprom and Kelpe under his belt, he also created his own unofficial version of Pharoah Monch's classic 'Simon Says' which devastated dancefloors worldwide. However, it was arguably his 'Ultra Heat Treated' EP, released in 2009 on the Planet Mu label, that propelled Slugabed into the spotlight, winning him new support and glowing reviews across the board, as well as interest from some of the best cutting-edge record labels around.
Partly as a result of this interest he was offered a chance to remix Roots Manuva's all-time great "Witness (1Hope)" for Ninja Tune's twentieth anniversary boxset. The result was one of the stand-outs of that mammoth collection, and made him one of only a handful of producers to successfully remix that classic cut. In fact, Roots Manuva himself liked it so much that he personally requested the instrumental so that he could use it in his live set. Almost inevitably, the album deal with Ninja Tune followed shortly after.
Since then, things have really taken off for Feldwick. He has played at the legendary Berghain club in Berlin as part of Scuba's SUB:STANCE night, toured the USA, Australia and Asia, and remixed both Eskmo and Stateless for his new home label, as well as supplying another remix for the mighty Roots Manuva's 'Get The Get' single. Funny, clever, referential, sometimes moving and never anything but completely himself, Slugabed is a substantial new presence in UK bass music.
With an ongoing touring schedule throughout Europe and the world, 2 new singles planned, and work on his second LP underway, things look set to stay busy for Slugabed into 2013 and beyond.

Product Handling Put to the Test at Twizzlers Candy Plant
Yaskawa America, Inc. Posted 02/07/2011Twizzlers® candy from Y&S Candies, Inc., a division of The Hershey Company, is an American candy favorite, known for its sticky, pliable consistency and sweet fruity flavors. However, some of the qualities that make it such a satisfying treat also make it a product packaging challenge.
Y&S produces and packs all conventional Twizzlers® candy varieties in a 290,000-sq-ft plant in Lancaster, PA. Since 2000, it has added automation capabilities to most of its nine packaging lines, replacing manual operations as product demand has dictated. Most recently, the company automated two of its packaging lines with MPK 50 robots from Motoman that transfer the candy products from processing to packaging, without losing a single soft, sticky strand.
Twizzlers® Twists are made through a process where the candy is extruded onto a flat board and then dried. In the past, up to eight operators were needed on each line to remove the boards from the drying racks, pull the strands of candy from the boards, and then place groups of candy into the infeed of a flow wrapper for packaging. "Before automation, those manual jobs were basically our highest-risk operations," says Jake Wildes, packaging systems engineer for Y&S. "Those positions required a lot of repetitive motion."
Y&S's directive for Motoman was to find a solution capable of taking candy from a discharge belt and placing it directly onto film feeding a Hayssen flow wrapper. Y&S required that the candy be placed precisely in position on the film, which is fed into the machine on a 16-ft infeed, at a rate of 30 boards/min.
In Wildes' opinion, the biggest challenge for the Motoman system would be to place the candy where it belonged on the film the first time. "When Twizzlers® Twists are made, they are kind of like ropes. They are flimsy, and at times they can be sticky or oily. So they tend to stick to one another when you pack them into a bag," he says. "The hardest part is transferring that group of candy onto the wrapper film without losing strands over a transfer or having them hang up. Or when they get dropped on the film, they might fall out of order.
"We were trying to get away from any kind of traditional infeed—like a bucket infeed or a metering system. The Motoman system sets the candy directly onto the film, which eliminates all transfer points, eliminates pieces getting lost in the transfer, and eliminates the transfer that causes groups to become misaligned."
In conjunction with the Motoman robots, Y&S added what it calls a Skiver system to the lines that automatically removes candy from the board. Used for some time on another Twizzler line, the Hershey-engineered Skiver takes the Twizzlers from the board and groups them on a discharge belt in the same orientation they held on the board.
To precisely pick the candy from the discharge belt, Motoman's MPK 50 four-axis, 50 kg-payload robots use an aluminum boom that measures approximately 55 in. and is fitted with a series of five, six, or seven grippers, depending on the Twizzler® candy variety being run. Delrin thermoplastic grippers pick the required amount of candy from the belt, move to the wrapper infeed, track the film at speed, and release the product onto the film when triggered by a photoeye at the infeed. The robots are equipped with the Motoman DX100 controller.
In the six months since the new robots were installed, Wildes says Y&S has seen greater efficiency and productivity, as well as less film waste, and "labor savings are huge." He notes that both lines are running at speeds well above those achieved when the lines used manual operations, with one of them at times running 150% of the previous standard. "We also have less rework and waste, and less product being lost at transfer points," he adds.

Make the brandied peaches first. In a medium bowl, combine:
2 ripe peaches, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons brandy or bourbon
Let the...
Retro recipes have been coming back into fashion lately. I've seen a few aspics in popular food magazines, and rumaki got a shout-out on Mad Men. There are probably many reasons for this trend, including changes in barometric pressure and the phases of the moon, but I like to stick to philosophizing about tangible reasons for things being the way they are. I have a one-word response to all this: Grandmother.
Most of my personal Proustian moments occur when I smell something that resembles the smells in my grandmother's house. Collard greens are a prime example. The smell of cooking collard greens is not inherently pleasant, but it is nonetheless capable of making my stomach growl simply because I remember my grandmother cooking them. Ditto brown gravy. Thoroughly unexciting, especially to someone with a palate for highly-flavored foods. But Grandma made it.
Of course, we could go deeper. We think so fondly of these homely foods because they are foods from a simpler, sweeter time in our lives when our biggest worries were acquiring one of the swings on the playground at recess and getting the dog to eat our green beans without Mom noticing. Ah yes, the good old days. I find that I especially crave things like this when the world is going crazy, as it has been lately. Listening to the radio in the morning is enough to make you want to get back in bed and pull the covers over your eyes. Wake me when it's over! At least you can return to childhood at your dinner table. Just don't play with your food, and remember to use your utensils. You probably have a reputation to maintain, after all.
This recipe is a true classic gem from Irma Rombauer's 1939 cookbook, Streamlined Cooking. Being a recipe from 1939, it is a little lacking in flavor. If your family likes food on the subtle side, it will probably suit you just fine. If you like more spice, please feel free to add it liberally. I can imagine that a good dose of chili powder or, if you like Indian spices, some garam masala or a spicy curry powder would be a good companion to this dish. The white bread crust is terribly cute, but you could always use whole wheat bread or even a real piecrust. I tend to think that the crust as-is gives this dish more character.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat in a large skillet over medium-high heat:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until it is browned and the onion softened, about 10 minutes:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
Stir in:
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons chili powder
Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in:
One 14 1⁄2-ounce can tomatoes, with their juice
One 15 1⁄4-ounce can corn, drained, or one 10-ounce package frozen corn, thawed
Bring to a simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon, and cook 3 minutes. Stir in:
3⁄4 teaspoon salt
(1 to 2 teaspoons minced garlic)
(1 teaspoon brown sugar)
Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch glass pie pan or 8 x 8-inch baking dish. Set aside. Trim the crusts from:
6 slices white sandwich bread
Spread one side of the slices with:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Cut the bread slices into quarters. Arrange the quarters buttered side up over the meat mixture, overlapping the pieces by about 1⁄2 inch and covering the mixture completely. Gently press the bread down to anchor it to the filling. Bake until the crust is browned, about 30 minutes.

Las Vegas Solar contractors and the risks they faceWith the entry of solar power system and the ensuing popularity of the same, there has been a growing increase in the demand for solar contractors in the Las Vegas market. There have been a lot of credits from the environmentalist owing to the fact that this type of power uses what is considered clean energy. This has also greatly influenced the spread of the acceptance of solar power because however you look at it; it is a vote of confidence. solarlasvegas.net is used by both commercial and domestic premise owners in many countries that experience sufficient sunlight intensity. In this regard there is need to have contractors who can fill this void. Owing to the fact that solar installations are a fairly new trade, most of the solar contractors will come from backgrounds that are typically substandard. You will also realize that a good number of artisans such as electricians and plumbers made a switch to solar installation so that they can cash in on the money arising from people turning to solar power. The tragedy is that that the danger that these artisans have created as result of merging these skills is throwing the insurance companies into disarray. In fact it is becoming increasingly difficult to come up with the right combination owing to the complexity of the said fields. You will also realize that most of the insurance companies have opted not to insure solar contractors.
Solar power being what it is comes from the sky and in order to be at a better vantage point the contractor is forced to work from elevated positions. This not only puts him at a risk, but also any third party individuals who may be lurking around the working area. Some of the dangers are posed by the forces of nature such as gravity. All it takes is for the contractor to place anything in the wrong place and gravity takes over. The result is always disastrous. This kind of danger is also shared by roofers and as a result most insurance have moved to cash on this thereby making it expensive for the contractors.
One other danger that the solar contractors face is the risk of losing income owing to a reduced amount of output contrary to the expectations of the home-owner. This is usually very difficult and costly owing to the fact that it is difficult to quantify the shortcomings of the input when compared to the cost. It is also for this reason that many insurance companies have not found the requisite manner to quantify this
There is also the issue of insurance companies refusing to insure appliances that are handled by the said contactors. It is not unheard of to find that the cost of some of the appliance run into millions of money and at time they get lost by way of pilferage. This is very injurious owing to the fact that it will probably take you ages before you can procure another. These among other are the perils and tribulations that contractors face in their line of work.
Solar power can help you save thousands of dollars on your energy costs each year. This is precisely what SolarLasVegas.net Experts specializes in. They have helped dozens of home owners in the Las Vegas area outfit their properties with solar panels that let them take advantage of free energy coming from the sun.

Thanks to Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley Adams, who ran a contest on her excellent writing blog which I won! Which allowed me to buy this book and also Steven Saylor's Last Seen in Massilia, which I'll read and review after my summer holiday. (I'm also thoroughly enjoying her mystery Delicious and Suspicious and plan to attempt dry rub from the recipies at the back at some point, which will probably go horribly wrong!).
Spoilers follow.
I wasn't expecting to post on The Graveyard Book, which I was desperate to read, but was delighted to discover a Roman lurking around the graveyard Bod lives in, making the book prime blogging material! Caius Pompeius doesn't play a large role in the book, but he does provide some colour at the beginning, emphasising the variety of people in the graveyard - it's not all Grey Ladies and monks (though they are there too).
The main purpose of Caius Pompeius' presence is to emphasise how old the graveyard is. Humans, once we have set aside a certain space as sacred, or as intended for the burial of the dead, or in the case of Christian burial both, tend to like to keep it that way. New religions take over old temples and convert them for their own purposes. In the case of burial, Roman pagans were horrified by the Christian idea that dead bodies should be buried within the town, as they preferred to keep the di manes, the shades of the dead, at a distance (whereas Christians kept the dead close in the hope of bodily resurrection). However, the idea that Caius Pompeius might ask to be buried beside an older burial mound makes perfect sense, as presumably the town boundaries were different in the Roman period and he specifcially says that he wanted to be buried near the even older burial mound already present. Romans used both burial and cremation, with fashions changing at different periods (mostly burial in the first century BC, for example, and mostly cremation in the first century AD) until the wide adoption of Christianity put an end to cremation (because one can't be resurrected in body and soul on the last day if one's body has been burned, according to Christian theology of the period).
Caius Pompeius is the oldest member of the graveyard's community, because the mound he was buried near contains something else entirely (I'm not sure if the Sleer is a fantastic invention of Gaiman's, or related to a mythology I'm not familiar with. Either way, there's not much indication of a ghostly person in that grave, though there must have been someone once). Unlike his companions from the Early Modern period, he speaks modern English, presumably because whereas they continue to speak in the way they did when alive, he has had to learn a new language post-mortem and has kept up with changing idioms (makes sense to me!). We don't get to know much about him as a character, but he's friendly and as an ex-soldier, he has a tendency to take charge. And his pro-consul was called Marcus because, as Chelmsford 123 pointed out, all Romans are called Marcus. (Or Gaius/Caius).
There are a couple of other Classical references in the book (and there's a lot of Latin on the gravestones, of course). My favourite, which actually made me laugh out loud, was Nehemiah Trot the poet's advice to Bod on how to talk to girls. He starts off all right, suggesting that Bod call the girl his 'Terpsichore' (Muse of choral song and dance), which is appropriate enough, but his next suggestion is 'Echo', who is not exactly a role model for successful romance, and his third suggestion is... Clytemnestra. Poor Scarlett nearly does end up being Bod's Clytemnestra, but not on purpose. Trot's suggestions for how Bod should refer to himself include Leander, who was killed trying to reach his lover, Hero, who was Leander's girlfriend (as in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, it's a girl's name) and who killed herself, and Alexander, which is another name for Paris, the man whose romantic relationship/seduction/rape of another man's wife (depending on version) started the Trojan War. Bod thinks to himself 'if you couldn't trust a poet to give sensible advice, who could you trust?' which just goes to show that the poor boy is in desperate need of a more up-to-date education.
Then, of course, there's Miss Lupescu. I will have to stop making excuses about how I didn't work out Remus Lupin's secret from Harry Potter because I hadn't done Latin yet at the time, because this one passed me by as well. I just don't concentrate when I read for pleasure. I rather liked the idea of werewolves as 'Hounds of God' though.
I loved the book - I've been desperate to read it for ages and I wasn't disappointed. It's beautifully illustrated with wonderful slightly creepy, slightly old-fashioned, but not too creepy illustrations by Chris Riddell. I wasn't too sure whether or not I liked the decision to put the illustrations, together with a caption, at the beginning of each chapter - on the upside, this gives the reader a taste of what is to come (I especially liked the drawing of Liza Hempstock, right) but on the downside, it takes away some of the surprise and excitement of seeing what comes next. The story was more bittersweet than I was expecting, though given the subject matter that was pretty appropriate. I wasn't so keen on the ghouls and the ghoul gate sequence, as it seemed a bit too fantastical compared to the rest of the book, but it worked in context, and was necessary for the plot. I loved the sequences featuring Liza the witch and the Danse Macabre, and I loved Silas. This was the sort of book that made me start imagining what happened to the characters afterwards, which is the sort of thing I love to do, and which I think is especially good in a children's book, as it might spark their imaginations!

Bitcoin is a type of digital currency that's created and held electronically. Unlike physical currencies such as pounds and dollars, bitcoins are not tangible, printed money, but exist exclusively in the digital space. Currently, Bitcoin is the most-well known form of 'cryptocurrency': the name given to digital currencies in which encryption techniques are used to verify transactions and regulate the generation of units.
The first mention of a 'cryptocurrency' concept was made by Wei Dai in 1998 on the cypherpunks mailing list – a subscription community set up in the early 1990s to discuss cryptography and its effect on society. Wei Dai spoke of the hypothetical creation of a new type of currency, with no central authority, which uses cryptography to control its transactions. However, it wasn't until 2009 that the first Bitcoin specification was proposed by software developer Satoshi Nakamoto. Since then, the 'cryptocurrency' community has never looked back, with a rapidly increasing number of developers working on Bitcoin.
According to Bitscan, as of February 2014, approximately 31 million Bitcoin transactions had taken place since the currency was first launched. Out of these transactions, over 25 million addresses (roughly equivalent to individual users) had been referenced. However, Bitscan's research found that not every address referenced in the data is still in use – and in fact only 10% (2.5 million) of the addresses referenced actually contained any bitcoins as of last year, reducing the pool of active users to a significantly lower figure.
Acquiring Bitcoins isn't all that difficult. Bitcoins can be bought either from exchanges or from other Bitcoin holders via marketplaces. They can be paid for in a number of ways, including wire transfers, debit or credit cards, cash, or even other cryptocurrencies.
In order to acquire Bitcoin, you need to have a Bitcoin 'wallet': the loose equivalent of a bank account. Bitcoin wallets can be stored in a number of locations, including the hard drive on your computer, a portable USB-style stick, a 'vault' service, which helps protect bitcoins while users are offline, or a web-based service. In recent years we've seen the advent of 'multisig' wallets, which feature heightened security characteristics.
In a Bitcoin wallet, there is a set of 34-character Bitcoin addresses, which can be used to receive bitcoins, and each address has an associated 64-character private key used to spend bitcoins and authenticate transactions. With multisig wallets, each address has three associated keys, which means that a user will need any two of them to spend their funds; drastically improving the security of transactions.
Not so long ago, finding a merchant that accepted bitcoins was challenging and time-consuming, involving sifting through hundreds of listings. However, the tides are changing, and as the currency has gained exposure it has become easier to find Bitcoin-accepting merchants. The best way to find such merchants is through aggregator sites and marketplaces that pool participating vendors in one convenient source. CoinMap is a useful tool for locating Bitcoin-accepting stores in different geographical locations.
A growing number of ecommerce sites are also beginning to accept Bitcoin. For example, in 2014 Microsoft added Bitcoin as a payment option for US-based consumers making purchases via BitPay for Microsoft products such as games and apps for Xbox, Windows and Windows Phone platforms. In July 2015 Dell followed suit, announcing it was now accepting Bitcoin in partnership with Coinbase. Dell even attempted to attract consumers to use the currency by hosting an introductory offer of 10% off all its high-end Alienware computers.
As it's speedy to use, doesn't require any of the bureaucracy associated with traditional bank accounts, and typically doesn't come with any transaction fees, Bitcoin is unsurprisingly becoming a popular currency for online gambling – and more gambling sites are introducing Bitcoin as a payment option as a result. The current market leaders are BitCasino.io and FlutterClub.
With its growing mainstream appeal, Bitcoin is naturally of interest to tax authorities, law enforcement agencies and legal regulators. Currently, due to the decentralised nature of the currency, Bitcoin regulation varies from country to country. For example, in the US, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) took the proactive move of publishing guidelines about the use of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin in 2014.
However, it's worth noting that casino operators accepting Bitcoin must still comply with the gambling legislation set down in their countries of operation – so, for example, any Bitcoin casinos operating in Britain must obtain the appropriate licence from the UK Gambling Commission. These casinos should also adhere to basic industry standards of fair play, ensuring their Random Number Generators (RNGs) and software are tested for fairness by reputable institutions like eCOGRA.

With the Athletics Center decked out in "blue and white" and alumni and friends adding a touch of "green," Penn State New Kensington's Chancellor's Gala on Sept. 28 proved to be an excellent vehicle for increasing the funding of student scholarships. The gala, which is a part of the University-wide fundraising effort, "For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students," brought in more than $21,000, a record for the four-year-old event.
The gala featured an evening of dancing, socializing and networking for 120 campus supporters -- donors, students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends. The theme was "Blue and White Lions Night," and the Penn State spirit permeated the room, as did the sounds of Dr. Zoot and the enthusiasm of Penn State alumnus and men's volleyball coach Mark Pavlik, who served as master of ceremonies. Guests demonstrated their giving acumen by bidding on auction items, purchasing raffle tickets and acquiring mystery boxes.
"It was an exceptional night and we are thankful for the support that benefits scholarships at the campus," said Donna Speer, director of development. "The community was at its philanthropic best."
In addition to fundraising, the gala served as a platform for the campus to honor its special donors. The Grable Foundation was named the fourth recipient of the Corporate/Foundation Partner of the Year award. Kevin Snider, chancellor of the campus, presented the award to the foundation for its support of the University and the campus during the past three decades. The inscription on the plaque denoted the organization's "leadership, support and assistance in the advancement, growth and development of Penn State New Kensington and the surrounding communities." Kristin Burns, associate director for the Grable Foundation, accepted the award on behalf of the foundation. Based in Pittsburgh, the Grable Foundation supports community and youth organizations in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Robert and Lorraine Arbuckle, Robert "Doc" and Linda Mueller, and Suzette Shaffer Schultz were inducted as the 2012 members of the Arch Recognition Society. They join the ranks of 24 alumni and friends who were honored at the gala during the past two years. The donor society's membership is reserved for campus supporters who have contributed a total of $25,000 to the campus.
With a recent estate gift of $100,000, the Arbuckles established the Dr. and Mrs. Robert D. Arbuckle Technology Fund. The campus' endowment encourages current and future professors and researchers to examine their assumptions about technology and education and imagine new possibilities for bringing them together. The Muellers established the Doc and Linda Mueller Trustee Scholarship at the campus. The $50,000 endowment is a need-based scholarship, and new and current students are eligible to receive the annual awards. First preference will be given to students in the four-year Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology program. Schultz, a former Penn State New Kensington student, pledged $50,000 to create the Shaffer Family Trustee Matching Scholarship. Schultz's gift establishes the 11th trustee matching scholarship at the campus.
Proceeds from the gala will be added to the Advisory Board's endowed trustee scholarship. Spearheaded by former board President Robin Rarie, the scholarship initiative was established in 2008 as part of the board's leadership gift to the campaign. The scholarship is geared toward upperclassmen who are campus leaders, i.e., Lion Ambassadors, Student Government Association officials and student club officers. The current board, headed by president Al Weber, hosted the gala.
Penn State New Kensington will continue the "For the Future" campaign, which helps create educational, cultural and economic opportunities that campus students and community residents need. The campaign is a University-wide effort to raise $2 billion by June 2014. Penn State New Kensington is responsible for $3 million of the total.

A Tale of Two Foleys
Mark Foley is not the first Foley to create problems in the House of Representatives at a time when a shift in party power seemed to be looming.
Tom Foley (D-WA) was the House Speaker in 1994, and was amid a series of very relevant controversies which Republicans used very effectively to communicate that there existed a system in Congress where abuse of power was the norm and where the needs of the American people came second to the individual member's desire for privilege.
Specifically, Foley fought term limits. And when the State of Washington passed a law limiting terms, Foley sued to overturn it in what became an very useful development for Republicans and a PR disaster for him and a symbol of all that the Republicans were saying was wrong: "Tom Foley v. The People of the State of Washington".
Coupling that with the check-bouncing scandal, the disaster of the House Bank, a Congress that seemed filled with out of touch self-servants, dissatisfaction with the Clinton Administration, a Republican minority that publicly offered a very appealing plan to Americans, and any number of local factors, Both Foley and the Democrats were tossed.
Twelve years later, we see something not all that different. A President who allowed himself, through years of ineffective PR management to fall prey to what would have been feckless attacks against a much better organized communications team, rendering him a liability to his party, a Republican Congress no less disciplined than its Democrat predecessor of a dozen years before which has gladly allowed spending and government to continue to grow, a Congress that appears too cozy with lobbyists, including one who was paying off some of its members, a House Speaker with a hands-off management style, and now, another Foley who has touched on a very relevant issue of the day: pedophilia.
By itself, Foley's acts are his own, with the consequences being likewise. But along with the constellation of other difficulties the Republicans are dealing with this election cycle, this is one more unneeded complication. And rather than hitting the party, the Dems have gone after Speaker hastert, who is unquestionably the most high-profile weak link in this matter.
Part of the problem is that nobody but Hastert knows what the real story is. And the Hugh Hewitt take on the matter seems the most appropriate (focusing on the Dem's double standard in these matters, and the fact that this is several years old, with the IMs only surfacing on the eve of an election--the media's concern for the youths involved would be more believable if this had come out right away). But if Hastert's staff bungled the handling of this, it still creates problems for him, as the principal is liable for the failures of the subordinate.
And it's a big deal if it looks like Hastert ignored the acts of a pederast congressman, or at the very least gave an ineffective response. But regardless of what really happened, the Dems need to be careful here, because their behavior differes from that of their successors 12 years ago.
The Republicans of 1994 were much more effective than those today in their message, delivery, and sincerety. But the Democrats really haven't gained much in the way of credibility since then, and have very obviously been a very angry party out of power who seem to have a tin ear when it comes to the major issues of the day, and who have actually fought efforts to secure the nation from terrorism. And while it is a remarkably effective tactic to play Hastert as being careless in his duties, it is quite the opposite to go the usual hysterial route that they have been going, alleging intentional misbehavior, conspiracies and the like. It's the tactic of Nancy Pelosi, which is just as effective as having a "Twin Peaks" San Francisco Congresswoman at the top of the party's leadership.
And it's just like every other missed opportunity they have had over the past six years. They upped the populist rhetoric, accused Republicans of being conspirators of evil, and downplayed the threat of enemies in order to worship at the altar of political correctness, and generally gave Americans reasons to look to other candidates. They offer nothing other than "We're the least worst party." Not a winning strategy, but it may win them enough to secure a bare majority, and enough time to remind Americans why the Democrats of the 21st Century are a party best ignored on election day.
And perhaps the removal of a few Republicans might be a good thing. Because the 1994 revolution wasn't about party, but rather a movement. That movement died in 1998. And it may take a very cold two years to correct some unfortunate attitudes.
One Foley was part of the end of the Democrats. This Foley might be part of the end of the Republicans for a while. But we need not worry. A Congress of Republicans who now behave like the Democrats they ousted is likely one not worth keeping anyway.

It always surprises me to see 25 December listed as the date of marriage – I've got half a dozen, and don't have marriage details for a good many of the people in my trees. I'm assuming that it was one of the few days that workers could have time off.
In my immediate tree:
- Emma Easter married Thomas Whiting in 1878
- Anne Holland married George Willshaw in 1832
- Eleanor Huntingdon Carter married John Parry in 1855
Managed to find about 20 certificates today, despite the library fire alarms being set off due to dust from the repairs being done on the lift.
Also got round to changing the template on my main site so it matches this one a bit better, and updated some of the info on the listed families.

This year we thank the fashion gods for many great gifts. From the explosion of highlighter hues to a happy farewell to hair feathers, the year of trends has brought us happiness and joy. As each of us divas prepare for the New Year's biggest bash, take a moment to reflect on the year of style.
Consider the best moments of fashion this year has delivered, and how each trend or style alert made a lasting effect on your own. Did your colors brighten with the hues? Did you step out of your matching-tone color box a bit?
One of the best ways to honor what you have learned is to select a highlight feature for your New Year's look. Here are some edgy opportunities to consider to help get your style engine started:
Bring the bling
This year we saw an extraordinary amount of bling enter into styles of all natures.
We found metallic fabrics, we delighted in glitter-tipped nails and we found sequins adorning everything from accessories to apparel. So if bling is your new thing, we love the subtle but sensual highlight option created by choosing sultry eye shadow full of glimmer. Choose a rich gold or cool gray silver and line it with flat black. This should be paired with a stunning dress, something that is bold but doesn't shimmer, leaving only your eyelashes to create a sparkle at each flutter.
Hot accent
Catching up on your color-blocking talents has been the focal point of your year. You live for pairing bold patterns and bright colors in new and sensational ways. Your friends will expect nothing less in your new year's ensemble than a bring-it-home send-off. For this, you can go all-out with the brightest of patterns, or you can pair off with vibrant hues to knock them off their feet. You can surprise them with that ever-so-black dress, set with an accent in jewel tones and a vivid clutch case.
Just remember to try not to out-dazzle your hostess!
Gleam team
For the stately fashionista, there may be nothing big about this year's apparel. For you, it is probably something a bit smaller that says it all. This is the jewelry fashionista, who takes her time to select just the right piece to say everything she needs to say about style. Is there a new pendant or strand of pearls that sets your standard? Or did you receive a new pair of sapphire earrings that will dazzle them all? Oversized watches can be just the statement to make sure everyone knows you are ready to move on to next year.
So take a moment, style gurus, and remember the past, this year filled with colors and textures and wraps. We watched silhouettes change, believed short hair was vogue and mastered so many new makeup tricks. Our nails are multi-color painted, our skin never loses luster and we adore our new handbags with matching smartphone or tablet couture. Enjoy for just one minute all that we've learned, because 2013 is ahead, packed with fashion fortune and fun!

Yesterday, we learned that US GDP unexpectedly contracted 0.1 percent in Q4, which was much worse than the 1.1 percent growth expected.
Economists spent most of the day downplaying any concerns, arguing that the number was "grossly distorted" by volatile government spending and inventory numbers.
The 2012 annual growth number, however, may have gotten less attention than it deserved, says Art Cashin, UBS Financial Services director of floor operations.
From this morning's Cashin's Comments:
The Other GDP - While most of headlines concentrated on the 4th Quarter GDP, it did give us a look at the annual GDP for 2012. It figures to about 1.5% (not the 4% growth that I think was the Fed's projection).
For why that annual reading may be important, let me quote my Bloomberg pal, Rich Yamarone:
The year-over-year change in real GDP was 1.5 percent. There has never been a time since measurement commenced in 1948 when the annual pace of real GDP has fallen that low without the economy ultimately slipping into recession. Sub-2.0 percent readings are historically the warning signal.
Patterns can always change of course let but that one's got a rather compelling history.
Maybe this time will be different.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The No. 30 Georgia College baseball team (2-3) was swept by No. 5 University of Tampa (5-0) 15-6 and 4-2 on two late rallies tonight at John Kurtz Field.
In game one, the Bobcats led 5-3 going into the seventh inning, when Tampa exploded for four runs. The Spartans proceeded to out-score GC 12-1 over the final three innings.
For the Bobcats, shortstop Tanner Funk (Kearney, Mo.) was 2-for-5 with three RBI, and catcher Cody Maas (Alpharetta, Ga.) swatted his second home run of the young season.
Senior righty Derek McGowan (Raytown, Mo.) went 6 1/3 innings in the loss (0-2), allowing just three earned runs and fanning four. Tampa reliever Preston Packrall (2-0) picked up the victory in less than a full inning of work.
Tampa posted three individuals with multi-RBI games in game one, led by designated hitter Heath Pritchard driving in six despite only having two at-bats. He swatted a home run and a double.
Game two was a pitcher's duel, as GC's Mike Guinane (Glenview, Ill.) went head-to-head with UT's Ben Brown (2-0). Guinane (0-1) went 5 2/3 innings with three earned runs and six strikeouts in his first effort of the 2012 season. Brown did him one better at six full innings, scattering two hits and two runs while also striking out six.
The Bobcats managed just two hits in the seven-inning affair, as Bryce Williams (Manhattan, Kan.) ripped a two-run double off the wall in dead center to give GC a 2-0 advantage in the second inning.
With a run in the fifth, a pair in the sixth and one more in the seventh, Tampa took this game over late as well. Pritchard had two more hits and a run scored, as leftfielder Damon Elder drove in a run on a 2-for-4 day. The go-ahead run scored on a wild pitch.
The Bobcats are back in action tomorrow, Feb. 11 at 1 p.m. for the final game of the three-game set with the Spartans.
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.

Although I use rice or bread in most of my bentos, I do like to mix it up with various other grains on occasion. Quinoa is probably my favorite alternate grain; it has a fun pop-y texture and nutty flavor, especially if you sauté it a bit in oil before steaming, and is so high in protein that it can considered to be a serious alternative protein source. This is really a carb and protein dish all in one.
While most quinoa recipes seem to be vegetarian, this one is not, though you can easily turn it into a vegetarian or vegan dish. I've added just a little bit of dried sausage or saucisson sec though - its meaty, assertive flavor really goes well with the quinoa and the fresh peas. (In France, peas are often cooked with bacon.) Saucisson sec just means dried sausage, so you can use salami, chorizo, pepperoni, or any similar hard sausage that you can eat sliced without cooking. Whole brown mustard seeds add a little bite. This dish can be made in advance, eaten for dinner one day and bento a day or two later.
I've used fresh peas here, which are in season where I live, but frozen peas will work just as well.
Makes about 4 cups cooked, for 4 to 8 bento sized servings. About 1000 calories total for the whole amount.
Sauté the onion, garlic and sausage in the olive oil over medium-high heat, until onions are limp and the sausage has rendered its fat and is turning a bit crispy. Add the quinoa and sauté briefly until it is lightly browned. Add the mustard seeds and sauté for a minute or two, to bring out the flavor.
Add the water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add the salt, pepper, herbs and green peas, and put on a lid. Let it cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the water has been completely absorbed and the quinoa is no longer hard. Taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve warm or cold. This will keep in the refrigerator, well covered, for 2 to 3 days. You'll want to pack a spoon with your bento to eat this.

That looks so good!
Trying to get my kiddos on board with quinoa and failing miserably thus far. They do love sausage and peas, maybe I'll just tell them it's pasta. ;o)
I love mixed dishes. And peas go really well with all kinds of bacon. I think I should try quinoa. Never eaten it before.
I don't comment here much, so hi :)
This looks delicious! In fact, this and the last 5 entries exemplify exactly what I love in your site. I love the wide range of recipes -- from glazed carrots to more complex dishes to made-from-scratch condiments and pickles.
We here in the Southern US also often cook veggies with a bit of bacon or ham hock to add some flavor.
How perfect! I just bought quinoa and am looking for ways to use it. Thanks for reading my mind!
I like quinoa a lot!
I once found a recipe for a bit similar one but it had sweet potato cut in tiny squares and a bit of bacon instead of sausage. Worth trying also, it was quite yummy.
Is this any good without the mustard seeds? I'm kinda allergic to them.
Great recipe by the way, looking forward to making it and eating it in the park on a sunny day :)
Love your site!
Some months ago, I bought a pack of quinoa in a local organic grocery store, but I couldn't get myself to do something with it because my quinoa dishes always turned out to be quite bitterly tasting.
But yesterday I tried your recipe and it turned out to be absolutely delicious! (I don't like sausage very much, so I used minced beef instead. The result was a bit too saltless for my taste, so I added a bit of a bouillon cube.) There are not many dishes that taste cold as good as hot, but this one definitely is perfect for a bento. I put it into my boyfriend's lunch today and I hope he'll like it too :)
Thanx for the recipe!
To everybody: Quinoa has a natural outer coating that is very bitter. It keeps bugs from eating it. To prepare, please put your quinoa in a fine mesh strainer (the quinoa is tiny) and, while running water over it, scrub the quinoa against the strainer to remove the coating. Now your quinoa will not be bitter when cooked!.
This reminds me of a recipe I have for a Quinoa dish. I like to take it to pot-luck meals as it's always a hit and not something that's usually duplicated at the event.
I love the high protein content of quinoa, makes it attractive, along with the ease of making it!
I'm definitely going to have to try this one out as it sounds very yummy.
I was just wondering if this would still taste good the next day, because I don't think me and my girlfriend will be able to eat all this in one night. So I was just wondering, because I love quinoa and sausage so this sounded like a perfect recipe.
Just made this (without meat) and let my six year old try it...he approves and requested it in his lunch tomorrow. Thanks for a great recipe.
Another instant favourite. I've tried it with bulgar wheat,normal rice and with minced meat and it's worked great with all the substitutions I've tried. ps Looking forward to your book!
Yum! Made this for dinner tonight. It was very tasty and filling!

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury selectmen have hired a consulting team to uncover creative financing options for a new in-town bridge project that officials hope could be built before the end of this decade.
The consulting team of RKG Associates and McFarland-Johnson will spend the coming weeks looking at revenue sources to finance as much as $10 million of the estimated $16 million price tag of the project. The project would involve building a new bridge linking Main Street to Court Street via Cross Street, across the Otter Creek in downtown Middlebury.
If things go as scheduled, selectmen will have financing information in hand — along with some recommendations — in time for the 2008 town meeting next March.
"We really have as a goal to get something done within the next couple of years," said Selectman Dean George, chairman of Middlebury's in-town bridge committee. "We know that's ambitious."
MONKTON — It was only 18 months ago that Monkton resident Caitlyn Bushey was hitting the books at Plymouth State University, preparing herself for a career in nursing.
Last month saw Bushey return from a military stint in Iraq during which she saw more catastrophic injuries in one year as a combat medic than she may see during her entire career as a hospital nurse.
Bushey, now 21, signed up with the New Hampshire National Guard soon after graduating from Mount Abraham Union High School in 2004. She saw the Guard as an opportunity to serve her country while receiving tuition reimbursement at Plymouth State.
"I saw it as the best of both worlds," Bushey said.
She joined the 3643rd Ordinance Co. based in Concord, N.H.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College junior Yan Oak has spent the past few weeks struggling to communicate with friends in his hometown of Rangoon, Burma. The military-run government, which refers to the country as Myanmar, had cut off phone lines and severed Internet connections in response to recent protests sparked by a 100-percent increase in fuel prices.
But Yan managed to get through, and has been able to keep a close eye on the action as his friends join thousands of protestors and monks in the largest demonstration against the country's military junta since a popular uprising in 1988.
In an effort to do something here in Vermont, half way around the world, Yan and fellow Burmese student Htar Htar Yu organized a series of events this week, including a panel discussion about the current state of Burma. The students have spent each day in the lobby of the college library answering questions about their home country and giving away red t-shirts that say, "Free Burma," to spread awareness.

Anime figure care help
Can anyone tell me how to take care of figures? I have one specific problem and that is the figure getting sticky on a certain part. I think it's because I live in Southern California and it is really hot in my room. I only have 2 figures that produce the stickyness on the same spot. The rest of my figures are fine.

Some figures are known to 'sweat' in hot climates. I've not experienced it myself, but I've heard freezing them can help. Make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight, and if it's getting too hot, use AC to lower the ambient temperature. That's about all there is to it.

Depends on the climate.
During the summer you should put it in at least once in every month for about 20minutes
After the first time you should be able to determine how long does it take for the figure to get all sticky again.

Don't leave it in the freezer for more than half an hour though... the expansion/contraction could be lethal for the figure if it is repeated very often. If you can keep it ~70s and out of direct sunlight, that's about as good as it gets without vacuum chambers
Where I live air conditioning is uncommon, so in the couple of weeks in the summer when it gets over 90F all the figures head down to the cool of the basement.
Dust is *my* biggest problem. Open air displays tend to accumulate a lot. Usually I can use an air canister (like what one uses to clean electronics) but occasionally I'll disassemble a particularly messy figure and put it in room temperature water with a very mild soap (woolite). Then I use cotton swabs and such to clean them in the water. Rinse, put the parts in front of a fan and re-assemble after drying.
It is pretty much the same as I do for plastic models prior to painting them.

I don't know if I should put my figure in the freezer because the figure has real net tights. Also would cleaning them with water and a mild soap work with my figure? My Mikuru figure has a lot of dust stuck on its ears. Both figures have issues with the bunny ears being sticky and every other part is fine. Makes me want to not display them anymore.
These are the figures I own that have this problem:Haruhi figure by Freeing

For other treatment, you can use wet tissue.
Some poeple say that putting a small glass of water near the figure helps, but i dunno about that. Never try it myself.
Yeah, i understand it. All my figure has open-air display feature on. So every night i must clean one of my figure... By the time i finish my last figure, i have to start over from the first figure...

Recap courtesy of Tom Mix and the Fargo Forum
MINNEAPOLIS – Fourth quarters during road games in the Twin Cities have not been kind to the Concordia football team this fall.
There was the heartbreaking one-point loss in Arden Hills two weeks ago, and on Saturday, the Cobbers let a large lead slip away late against Augsburg.
This time, however, Concordia hung on for a 38-31 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletics Conference victory at Edor Nelson Field.
"Flashbacks were coming back," sophomore quarterback Griffin Neal said, referring to the Bethel game.
Augsburg outscored the NCAA Division III No. 21-ranked Cobbers 24-0 in the final 16 minutes of regulation to make things interesting.
"After that Bethel game, you always have that in the back of your mind," junior wide receiver Mark Whiting said. "It was scary, but we are glad to pull out the win."
Concordia (6-1, 4-1 MIAC) had been in full control the first three quarters. The Cobbers appeared to have the game well in hand when Chris Gilson caught a 34-yard touchdown pass from Griffin Neal. That score gave Concordia a 38-7 lead with 5:41 left to play in the third quarter.
Augsburg answered with a 10-play, 75-yard scoring drive, capped by an Ayrton Scott 10-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Swanson on fourth down.
Scott threw two more touchdowns – a 5-yarder to Wesley Waytashek and a 54-yard strike to Swanson – in the fourth quarter.
A 39-yard field goal by Waytashek with 3:06 left in regulation pulled the Auggies (5-2, 4-2) to within a touchdown.
After holding Concordia to a three-and-out on the ensuing possession, Augsburg got the ball on its 1-yard line with 48 seconds.
"It was fun to make it interesting," Augsburg head coach Frank Haege said. "The game was almost to the point where you were ready to put the (second team) in. That is how down we were, but we kept the starters in. We went into a hurry-up offense just hoping to get a spark and we caught a spark, made some plays. … It was fun."
Augsburg's comeback came to a halt when Concordia senior cornerback John Bye intercepted a pass from Scott.
"We have a lot of confidence in our defense," Neal said. "We knew they were going to come through with this one."
Despite its breakdown in the second half, Concordia put together a near-flawless first half.
Neal connected with Whiting on touchdown passes of 45 and 56 yards and also rushed for a 21-yard touchdown.
"Our defense created some turnovers and got the offense on the field," Cobbers head coach Terry Horan said. "Our offense was executing. The second half was the flip of that. (Augsburg) gained some confidence, while we were trying to chew some clock. We lost our momentum a little bit, but we hung on. It is a win and we will take it."

The history of the municipality of Boqueixón is closely linked to its main geographic landmark and greatest natural and cultural resource: Pico Sacro, one of Galicia's most mythical and best-known mountains.
Pico Sacro's silhouette is a scenic point of reference in a wide-ranging area.
Pico Sacro is the source of countless legends and traditional tales. The region's inhabitants venerated the mountain before and after the arrival of Christianity, and it plays an essential role in the myth regarding the transfer of the Apostle James' body. It has a peculiar shape formed by rocks of crystallized quartz and a height of 533 metres above sea level.
According to the legend of Queen Lupa included in the Codex Calixtinus, which relates the arrival of the Apostle James' body in Galicia, Pico Sacro is described as the Apostle's first tomb.
Along the "Vía de la Plata" route, Pico Sacro is the last stage of the Way of St. James and the first place from which you can see the longed-for towers of Compostela's cathedral. Apart from this important legend, there are many other ones that arose from among the area's inhabitants and are centred on characters from Galicia's traditional mythology, such as mouros and snakes living in the mysterious caves near the top of Pico Sacro.
