They are relegated to a single line on the General Election ballot, without even their name to identify them.
They are write-in candidates.
Statistically, they don't have much chance of emerging victorious.
Frequently, they serve more of a function during the primaries than in November.
But they are candidates and so develop the face of the races on the ballot.
"They're like shadows," said Supervisor of Elections Sharon Harrington. "They're there or not there. It depends on the light you shine on them."
The rules to get onto the ballot are simple. Fill out a form during the qualifying period and tell Harrington she needs to put an extra line on the ballot.
"They can't do much. They don't collect money or open an account because their name isn't printed on the ballot," Harrington said. "They have to get out and talk to people."
Some write-ins have every intent of competing. For others, their candidacy is for political reasons.
In Republican heavy Lee, Harrington said, many races were settled in the primary - the Republican primary.
Usually, they faced no contender in November.
A few years ago, a law was passed stating that if there was no other candidate on the November ballot, a partisan primary would be open for everyone to vote.
To circumvent that, parties would get a write-in candidate to "run" in November, thus closing the primary.
"The parties found a loophole. There are staunch people who believe that only Republicans should vote in Republican primaries," Harrington said.
This has created controversy. Harrington remembered a few years ago, a last-minute candidate from Arizona overnighted the proper paperwork to prevent a county commission primary from being open, sending the Democrats into an outrage and media turning over stones to find out who the person was.
If you plan to vote for a write-in, Harrington said you have to fill in the bubble next to the line for that vote to be counted.
And a write-in candidate can be anyone. Harrington said someone always votes for Mickey Mouse or fills in his/her own name just as a lark.
Harrington did point out that write-in candidates can - and have - won.
The most noteworthy write-in victory was by Lisa Murkowski, who won the 2010 U.S. Senate race in Alaska, Harrington said.
There are plenty of write-in candidates from which to choose from, especially on the local level.
For the Board of County Commissioners in District 1, Cape Coral Republican John Manning faces write-in Gerard David Jr.
District 2 will have GOP candidate Cecil Pendergrass going against write-in Neal Moore and unaffiliated John W. Sawyer.
For Lee County Sheriff, Republican Mike Scott has a pair of challengers in write-in candidate Christian Meister and unaffiliated Lee Bushong.
The names of candidates running without party affiliation do have their names printed on the ballots.
For state office, in District 78, Heather Dawes Fitzenhagen of the GOP face write-in candidate Kerry Babb.
Nationally, write-in candidate Tom Baumann will vie for the 17th District U.S. House seat as GOP candidate Tom Rooney will battle Democrat William Bronson.
There are seven write-in candidates for U.S. Senate, none locally, while eight others are running for president.

The Akai Pro MPK mini is an ultra-compact mini-keyboard with an impressive array of buttons, knobs and pads to provide hands-on performance and production control no matter your location. MPK mini strikes the perfect balance between portability and comprehensive software control by melding together the complete control offered in the popular Akai Pro MPK family with the grab-and-go convenience of the LPK25 and LPD8. With a 25-note keyboard, 8 backlit, MPC-style pads and 8 Q-Link knobs, the MPK mini is the ultimate portable controller to get your music moving.
The MPK mini keyboard is ideal for quickly entering notes and phrases into your computer. The velocity-sensitive keys allow you to accurately express dynamics, while accessing different pitch ranges is done instantly through dedicated Octave Up and Octave Down buttons. Create sparkling, staccato leads and driving bass-lines in a variety of time denominations and patterns with MPK mini's built-in arpeggiator. A Tap-Tempo button gives you the ability to quickly adjust the arpeggiator clock, which is essential if you're looking to stay in sync with a band. A Sustain button holds notes after releasing your hand from the keyboard allowing you the opportunity to easily pound pads and twist knobs, with no pedal required.
MPK mini's 8 backlit, velocity-sensitive pads are based on Akai Professional's MPC line of iconic music production stations. Great for firing one-shot samples and sequencing drum patterns, you can use the pads to send note information, MIDI CCs, or even program changes. Pressing the Bank button will quickly toggle between 2 banks of pads giving you access to 16 pads in total. Additionally, the MPK mini has 8 assignable Q-Link knobs to control virtually any parameter in your software.
MPK mini works plug-and-play with Mac and PC and requires no software driver installation or wall power for operation. It has four memory banks for programming and recalling settings appropriate to your favorite software programs. The included software editor lets you quickly map MPK mini's controls as well.

Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz couldn't resist a presidential selfie when the 2013 World Series champions visited the White House on Tuesday.
"And of course, the legend. The only man to play for all three championship teams," Obama said of Ortiz. "The biggest bat in the dugout. Big Papi. Big Papi. That's what I'm taking about. Love this guy. Even a White Sox fan can appreciate these guys."
In return, Obama snagged an "Obama 44" Red Sox jersey.
What an honor! Thanks for the #selfie, @BarackObama pic.twitter.com/y5Ww74sEID

dd, sometimes called GNUdd, is the oldest of the imaging tools currently in use. A command line program that has been ported to many operating systems, dd uses a complex series of flags to allow the user to image or write data from and to raw image files. There are a few forks of dd for forensic purposes including dcfldd, dccidd, a Microsoft Windows version that supports reading physical memory.
When using dd, be sure to specify a proper "conversion" that will ignore bad blocks. You can also improve imaging performance by specifying a blocksize that is larger than the default of 512 bytes.
Here is a common dd command:
dd if=/dev/hda of=mybigfile.img bs=65536 conv=noerror,sync
Use extreme care when typing the command line for this program. Reversing the if and of flags will cause the computer to erase your evidence!

The design may be protected in certain jurisdictions.Description
Whitenights is a contemporary text family, which was developed by the prolific Swedish typographer Lars Berquist in 2002. Containing five weights (11 different fonts total), this family contains every tool you need to set splendid text. The base font of the family is Whitenights Regular, a reliable face designed in the old style manner. It ships in OpenType format, with old style figures. Whitenights Ligatures Regular is a supplementary font, which contains many extra ligatures (e.g., ffb, ffk, tt, and fj) whose use will improve the color of a page of text set in Whitenights Regular. Whitenights Regular may be accented by combination with Whitenights Small Caps, Whitenights Italic, Whitenights Bold, and/or Whitenights Bold Italic. The Whitenights Italic, Bold and Bold Italic styles all have supplementary Ligature fonts available for purchase, similar to the Whitenights Ligatures Regular face described above. For larger, headline text, the specially designed Whitenights Titling is quite useful. This titling font has been optically redrawn and respaced for use in large sizes. Naturally, it has its own supplementary Ligature font as well. In books, magazines, and newsletters this font is a great display companion to the rest of the Whitenights family. Its use in conjunction with the text faces will make your typographical compositions more sophisticated. Last but not least in the Whitenights family is Whitenights Math, which contains many additional mathematical and logical glyphs not found in a standard font's character set. Used together, the above 12 styles can set almost any text or math-based document. The entire family is included in the Take Type 5 collection from Linotype GmbH.License

They say good things come in threes, and seven is a lucky number.
But magicians know that four is a truly magic number.
~ There's four suits in a deck of playing cards.
~ Four seasons, four dimensions, four main directions.
~ We buy coins and sponge balls in sets of four.
~ Four personality quadrants (very handy to identify in spectators.)
~ Scientists have discovered that four is the magic number for the chunks we can hold in short term memory.
~ When we have issues with our diagonal palm shift, we usually utter four-letter words. (What, you don't? We do. And you're lying.)
Because four is a magic number, it's perfect to use in a new feature on the Ellusionist blog: FOUR POINTS. It's a pretty simple feature: We'll give you four important points about a topic, from practice to pop culture and everything else related to magic. And we'll kick this feature off with something near and dear to our fans' hearts, judging from what they send us regularly:
Photography is important to us, because it's also important to our fans. We make beautiful, eye-catching things such as the Infinity deck (pictured above), and we want to show them off right. Our fans are also proud of the gear they get from us, and love sending us pictures of what they get.
Not everyone has an awesome camera with top-end lenses, or the new iPhone 5, with its crazy awesome low-light abilities. Most of us have basic point-and-shoots that do pretty well. The pace of progress has given us some pretty powerful point-and-shoots, actually. But there are some basic things you can do to make your photos instantly better, no matter what you are shooting with:
LIGHT: Whether you use daylight or your camera's flash, you need light for a good picture. Don't be fooled by the monitor that shows what you're shooting — a camera sees light differently than the human eye. Make sure your subject is lit well. If you don't want to use a flash, find a lamp or two.
DOING IT RIGHT: Blackwater's picture of a burning chunk of ice is a dark picture, but his use of light (and how he caught flames on ice) won him first place in one of our photo contests.
SUBJECT: Pick a clear point of attention. It's one thing to slap a bunch of stuff down and cram it all in the frame. It's quite another to focus on one thing and let it enhance all the others. Want to take a pic of all your decks? Pick one or two and place the rest in the background. Think about eye-catching ways you can ARRANGE all the items you want to picture. Then use the rule of thirds to decide how to compose your shot.
DOING IT RIGHT: Martin-zz won second place in that same contest. Notice the Ghost card: It's off to the side, instead of being smack in the center of the frame, and his written message is tucked away in the corner. That's good composition.
BACKGROUND: It's said that photography is all about what's NOT in the frame, as much as what's in the frame. Make sure the background complements the point of attention you picked in the last step. And make sure your subject is clearly in focus. Everything else can be fuzzy.
DOING IT RIGHT: Onesickknave was a photo contest finalist with his shot of practicing. The ace in his hands is a clear center of attention, yet the mirror and computer screen enhance without distracting.
MOTION: Do everything you can to eliminate camera motion. In other words, don't move. Lighting issues make indoor close shots hard to capture, and fluorescent lights confuse cameras, so find a way to make your camera as stationary as possible. Prop your camera against books or on a table. Maybe a cheap, small tripod is something you can cram in your budget.
DOING IT RIGHT: This photographer for Michael Baker (performing in the background) was in bright daylight, which makes taking pictures so much easier. (In a nutshell: Bright daylight means the shutter is open less, which means the camera can stop motion better.)
Your turn: Show us how you put these tips to use. Grab your favorite Ellusionist gear, snap some shots and send them to us on our Facebook or Twitter pages, or e-mail them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dossier Disclaimer
The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Group Leader Description
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders, otherwise known as a Chief Experience Officer (CEO). The CEO will be the group manager, leader and driver – this person is experienced in the routes travelled and will organize and lead the meal preparations and has experience in cooking a variety of local and international dishes for large groups.
As the group coordinator and manager, the aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. They will also offer suggestions for things to do and to see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends.
We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting – we think it's the best of both worlds.
Group Size Notes
Max 16, Avg 12.
Meals Included
18 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 1 dinner
Eating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. On truck trips in Africa, aboard the M/S Expedition or our Galapagos yachts, while trekking in remote regions etc. food is included, plentiful and made of fresh local ingredients. The above information applies to G Adventures group trips. For Independent trips please check the itinerary for details of meals included. For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Private bus, taxi, plane, local bus, yacht, train, walking.
About our Transportation
Our vans are mini-coaches. Occasionally with smaller group sizes we will use smaller, equally comfortable 13-seater vehicles. All mini-coaches tow a trailer for luggage and camping equipment (when needed). All groups have one CEO/Driver.
The vehicles are factory built with comfortable seats and air-conditioning. It is mandatory to wear a seatbelt while riding in our vehicles.
Local Flights
All local flights are included on this trip.
Solo Travellers
We believe single travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and single travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Comfort hotels (14 nts), motel (2 nts) beach resort/hotels (4 nts).
Joining Hotel
For details of your joining hotel please refer to your tour voucher, G Account, the G Adventures App or contact your travel agent.
Joining Instructions
An arrival transfer is not included on this trip – please make your own way to the joining hotel. A group meeting will be held by your CEO this evening. Please check the notice board in the hotel lobby for the time and details.
It is very easy to make your way from the airport to the hotel. Options are as follows:
By Taxi: $40-50, approximately 15km and shouldn't take more than 30 minutes.
By Shuttle Bus: $16 pp. Buy tickets at the 'Sydney Airporter' bus desk between exit gates B & C. Alternatively, there is the "Airport Connect' service in the same location. Book tickets online at www.airportconnect.com.au/
Arrival Complications
We don't expect any problems, and nor should you, but if for any reason you are unable to commence your trip as scheduled, as soon as possible please contact your starting point hotel, requesting that you speak to or leave a message for your CEO (if you are not on a group tour please refer to the emergency contact details provided in this dossier). If you are unable to get in touch with your leader, please refer to our emergency contact details. If you have pre-booked an airport transfer and have not made contact with our representative within 30 minutes of clearing customs and immigration, we recommend that you make your own way to the Starting Point hotel, following the Joining Instructions. Please apply to your travel agent on your return for a refund of the transfer cost if this occurs.
Emergency Contact
Should you need to contact G Adventures during a situation of dire need, it is best to first call our local office in Melbourne.

What to Take
The max luggage allowance on domestic flights within Australia is 20 kgs, 1 checked bag and 1 carry on per person.
You will be on the move a lot, so our advice is to pack as lightly as possible. We recommend the use of a well-labeled duffel bag, soft bag or backpack (whichever you find easiest to carry). Suitcases or heavy luggage are not recommended for the health of the CEO! A good size day-pack (20-35L) is also essential as you will have the chance to walk and hike in different national parks during these trips. This daypack will be used to carry your personal gear for the day, your lunch and a water bottle.
For days in the outdoors, we recommend the use of lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics made of wool or synthetic fibers. Cotton is not recommended for days spent hiking as it does not allow for heat or moisture to enter or escape, and it will not dry easily once wet.

Visas and Entry Requirements
All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity). Contact your local embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent. It is your own responsibility to have the correct travel documentation. Visa requirements for your trip will vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. We keep the following information up to date as far as possible, but rules do change and sometimes without warning. While we provide the following information in good faith, it is vital that you check the information yourself and understand that you are fully responsible for your own visa requirements.
A valid passport and visa is required. For some nationalities, the visa can be issued by your Travel Agency or the Australian Embassy via Electronic Travel Authority (ETA).
To apply for an ETA online, travellers must hold a passport from one of the following countries:
- Brunei – Darussalam
- Canada
- Hong Kong
- Japan
- Malaysia
- Singapore
- South Korea
- United States
More information about the ETA and how to apply can be found here:
If you do not hold a passport from any of the above countries, you cannot apply for an ETA online. You may be eligible to apply for an ETA through a travel agent, airline or an Australian visa office. Alternatively, you may be eligible to apply for other types of electronic visitor visas. See: www.immi.gov.au
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
The Australian currency is the Australian Dollar (AUD).
Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere in Australia and can be used to purchase small and large items. When purchasing products or services with a foreign credit card you may be charged additional fees by your credit card company for foreign purchases.
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances but you must remember to bring your PIN number (be aware that many ATM machines only accept 4-digit PINs). Both Cirrus and Plus system cards are the most widely accepted debit cards. Both Visa and Master Cards are the most widely accepted credit cards. While ATMs are commonly available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work check with your bank before you travel. A visit to an ATM can be arranged on Day 1 and other days of the trip.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of local currency (preferably smaller bills, 5's, 10's and 20's) and credit cards is best. Currency exchange is best obtained prior to travel or at the airport, currency exchange is easy to find in Australia in the gateway cities and most banks do accommodate.
Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
It is not customary in New Zealand or Australia to tip service providers, but if you do experience outstanding service it is good to do so. Such service would only usually be in places like quality restaurants and it would be very rare that you would tip more than 10%. Unless specifically asked to do so at the time (by your CEO) – do not tip your local guides. Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures Chief Experience Officer did an outstanding job, you may consider a small tip – but it certainly isn't expected.

- Whale Watching (89AUD per person)
- Kayaking
Great Barrier Reef
- Great Barrier Reef Snorkelling from Port Douglas (246.50-355.00AUD per person)

Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that quite often we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical ratings for trip specific information.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your CEO has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy and explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards), have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
Trip Specific Safety
Heed the caution signs at all times in National Parks and other remote areas in New Zealand and Australia.
Between November and March, there is extreme heat with temperatures averaging between 43-46°C in the middle of Australia, especially around Uluru and Kings Canyon. This can lead to heat exhaustion and potentially become very dangerous. Be sure to drink plenty of water and replenish electrolytes by drinking sports drinks, coconut water or water mixed with electrolyte powder packets. Our CEOs have been trained in first aid and are well-versed in the risks associated with this heat.
As a result of this heat some included walks may be closed in the interests of travellers health. Certain walks around central Australia including Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon are closed when weather is forecast to exceed 36°C. During these hot months, we will endeavour to offer all walks early in the day to avoid the heat. Our CEOs will monitor the weather conditions to gauge the safety of any included walks and may need to call off a given day's walk due to extreme heat.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEO has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

Hey there,
I have a uvnc repeater configured and seemingly working well alongside a themed version of Single Click. I'm attempting to use noVNC as my viewer so I can use it cross-platform.
I've got everything set up so that both the SC server and noVNC viewer can connect to the repeater and it bridges the connections perfectly. However as soon as noVNC attempts to actually connect through the repeater to the SC server, it runs into two issues:
1) The SC server reports its RFB protocol as one that noVNC does not support (003.016), and once I get beyond that,
2) noVNC fails to negotiate an encoding type with the SC server, indicating that the SC server uses an unsupported encoding of type 16.
I opened an issue with noVNC here: https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/issues/545
#1 is pretty straightforward; I added the RFB protocol version to the switch statement in noVNC to allow the connection to proceed. Unfortunately #2 is not straightforward in that it seems that noVNC doesn't have any code to support encoding type 16 (which seems to be FTP encoding?)
I was under the impression that the protocol for connecting typically allows for negotiation, meaning noVNC should be able to fall back to an encoding that both SC and noVNC support, but that doesn't seem to be happening here. Does SC only come bundled with the code to support FTP encoding? Or do you think noVNC might be failing to handle the negotiation of encoding properly?
If only FTP encoding is supported in SC, is it possible when using the web creator that we could opt to include other (more common) encoding types for better client compatibility?
If specifying allowed encoding is not possible with SC, are there docs indicating how FTP encoding works so it could be implemented in noVNC? This would be done here.

I realized that I was pretty cranky when I wrote my previous post. I blame it on my diet. I'm participating in a New Year's weight loss challenge at the office. We're in week 8 right now and even though I'm doing fairly well - there are 20 participants and I am currently in the top 3 overall "losers" - I am constantly dreaming about food. In the beginning I was dreaming about pizza from Flour+Water, but now I am dreaming about dessert.
Being on a diet and living in one of the best food cities in the country has been tough, but I guess dieting is tough no matter where you live. Over the past two months I've learned to adjust my eating habits. I've always had fairly decent habits. I eat lots of vegetables and fruits, very little processed/packaged foods, and 98% of the time my drink of choice is plain water. I always bring my lunch to work and my husband and I only eat dinner out 2 or 3 times a month. But my portion size was out of control and desserts were hard for me to pass up. So instead of changing what I eat, I've just changed how much I eat. Before I put any food in my mouth, I always stop and ask myself if it's worth using my limited daily allotment of calories on it.
I can still have a 4505 Meats cheddar bratwurst when I go to the Ferry Building, but instead of eating the whole thing, I will eat a third of the bratwurst and none of that delicious bread that it comes nestled in. On the bright side, I can have all the sauerkraut I want. And that 4505 sauerkraut is definitely yummy enough to make me almost forget the other two-thirds of the bratwurst. I've survived Chinese New Year celebrations, fried chicken and cream biscuits at Prospect, and a pasta tasting at Perbacco.
You would think that I could make things easier on myself if I stopped baking during the weight loss challenge. But asking me to stop baking is like asking me to stop breathing. I just cannot survive without it. And I have been baking a lot lately. Most of it's been tempting, but not blog worthy. I've been able to resist the florentine cookies and lemon mousse cake I made for the Daring Bakers' challenges as well as the chocolate cake I made for Valentine's Day. I usually take one or two bites of what I make just for quality control purposes. Have you ever had just one bite of chocolate cake? It's really, really hard to stop after just one bite. But I did. And that's how it's been for weeks.
But my resolve is starting to wane. And it's all because of these damned pumpkin donut muffins. Damn the internet for bringing these to my attention. Damn Martha Stewart. Damn. Damn. Damn.
These baked pumpkin donut muffins are so hard to resist. They are insanely good. Baking them in a miniature muffin pan gives them the appearance of donut holes which adds to their appeal. They are moist and spicy with that lovely crackly sugar coating.
One bite and I was hooked. I could not stop at just one bite. One bite turned into 2 into 4 into 10. I ended up eating two whole mini muffins. And, yeah, I know, those calories are not going to hurt me, but in the long run every calorie adds up. I guess it just means that I have to stay on that treadmill a little bit longer.
Although I am now constantly dreaming about these pumpkin donut muffins, they are way too dangerous for me to make again. However, the recipe is too good to keep to myself. So bake 'em at your own risk.
Baked Pumpkin Donut Muffins
(Recipe from Martha Stewart)
10 tablespoons (5 ounces/1.25 sticks) unsalted butter, room temp, plus more for pan
3 cups unbleached all purpose flour, plus more for pan
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup buttermilk (low fat is okay)
1 1/4 cups pure pumpkin puree (which is not quite the whole 15-ounce can; be sure to use plain pumpkin NOT pumpkin pie mix)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
Sugary coating:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (4 tbsp / 2 ounces / 0.5 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour 12 (3.5- to 4- fl oz capacity) wells of a standard muffin tin.
2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and allspice. Set aside dry ingredients.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, pumpkin puree and vanilla. Set aside.
4. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl as necessary.
5. On low speed, add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of the pumpkin mixture. Mix until everything is just incorporated.
6. Spoon 1/3 cup batter into each muffin well and bake at 350F until a toothpick inserted into center of muffin comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let muffins cool 10 minutes in pan on cooling rack.
7. Meanwhile, make your sugary coating. In a medium bowl combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Working with one at a time, remove muffins from pan; brush all over with melted butter, then coat in the sugar mixture.
[NOTE: Martha says the recipe yields 12 standard (3.5- to 4- fluid ounce capacity wells) muffins, but it definitely makes much more. I got 24 miniature muffins and 10 standard muffins. I baked the miniature muffins at 350F for about 14 minutes. I baked the standard muffins at 350F for about 25 minutes. Since I had more muffins to coat, I had to increase my topping quantities accordingly.]

After the epic adventure of the Alps road trip, it was time to head back to the beach for the MEAK Cup at Nyali Beach in Kenya. The event is run by Prosurf Kenya and is in its fourth year. It has such an awesome vibe as the whole idea is to raise as much money as possible for the Medical & Educational Aid for Kenya charity and to have as much fun on and off the water as possible. M.E.A.K. is such an awesome charity to raise money for as they run projects such as heart and cataract operations all across Kenya and every penny of the money we raise go straight to the people who need it.
So after fighting my post Alps flu, I headed out to Kenya with Turbulence Angel Sheryl and the winner of the Trad Film competition Andrew Cockcroft. Courtesy of Turbulence, his mission for the week was to document the event and find out the nitty gritty on why kitesurfing is the sport for me…!
After worrying amounts of flights were cancelled out of Heathrow due to the snow, ours seemed to be the only one to leave much to our relief! We were greeted and provided a beautiful room for the week by the Nyali Beach Hotel, which overlooks Prosurf extreme and the event spot. We had a couple of days to acclimatize, get my new pink AH Pros sandy and get some riding footage done before the event kicked off. We were also graced with the presence of Major Brian Bloor a.k.a. Turbulence grom rider Elis Bloor's father/chauffeur as he is on exercise in Kenya. It was awesome to see him and he had a great couple of days break, although I think we sent him back more exhausted than when he arrived! He had only just managed to check into the hotel before we marched him to the Prosurf office and made him enter the competition. He took it all in great spirit and almost won the first round of the downwind course race until there this was a little issue with the second to last bouy!
You know the more fun you have, the quicker the time goes…! Well this week has seemed like one day! It's been crazy! We've had super nice wind, an amazing group of kiters of all abilities who mingled together really well, and we've raised loads of money for MEAK. Fundraising missions by the riders have included half of Eamon Armstrong's head being shaved, Keenan Perrin having a reverse Mohawk shaved and Jenny Kinnear donating proceeds from her beautiful silver and gold jewelry sales.
The competition was blessed with perfect wind each day. After the head shaving, the event commenced with a downwind course race. It was so good to have such a big Flexifoil contingent at the event, we were taking over thanks to the Irish crew! There were some hectic moments and spectacular crashes, with some unexpected results that were so good to see. Anyone could take the lead, whether amateur or pro, which was so refreshing. In the evening we headed to the Tamarind Casino for some roulette action. I had never tried gambling before and was a little hesitant to begin with, but once I got started I loved it and came out £25 up with two awesome pink chips that I didn't want to have to cash in!
We had a kicker event that resulted with a number or bruised bums! It was a white plastic kicker that was pretty steep and super slippy as soon as you hit it. The press boat assembled and continually demanded a beer flow from the beach so we Turbulence stickered the bottles up and kited with them one at a time between heats, we got quite a good relay service going! The kicker was awesome fun, just trying to keep balance to land on the other side was tricky!
Best trick and big air heats were followed by fire jumping on Saturday evening as it got dark. A big wooden raft was piled with wood, dragged out into the bay and set alight. As it got pitch black it was pretty mental approaching the raft as there were so many of us on the water buzzing around it but it was so hard to see each other's kites! When the fire finally died we headed in for a BBQ at the Prosurf centre followed by slack line and handle pass action!
Sunday and the last day of the event. We had the finals of the big air and then the main event – the freestyle. The wind picked up nicely and we headed out on 7m and 9m kites. We had an amateur, pro and ladies heat. It proved quite hectic as there was between 6 and 10 in each heat so there was a proper flight for trick space. It was so nice to have a lot of girls for the event. I managed to win the chic's heat and Turbulence Angel Sheryl finished third which was awesome.
With the event finished, our closing gathering was on the Tamarind Dhow, a traditional boat that has been transformed into an amazing floating dance floor. It was a Kikoi party, so everyone arrived wrapped up sarong style and the evening commenced with Kenyan dawa (vodka, lime, honey and a lot of sugar, so making it at home!) We had the raffle that raised a huge amount of money for MEAK and then prize giving. Jennifer Kinnear donated the girl's prizes from her jewelry range, which was so exciting to receive. She picked a beautiful long chain neclace with silver and gold limpet shell castings with white quartz, I can't take it off its amazing! The Dhow night ended the event in true style, it was great to see everyone celebrating the week together with Mike and Dee, the founders of MEAK.

The MEAK Cup raised an awesome 148,534 Kenyan shillings for the charity which was an amazing achievement. I would like to say a huge thank you to Prosurf for making the event possible and Turbulence and Trad Films for sending Andrew to document the week with me. Nyali is such an awesome spot, I will definitely be back again next year! I would like to say thank you to all the other riders for getting into the spirit so well and to Ibby for rescuing me from the crazy guy in Noon's!!

Wardrobe malfunctions, botched Black Eyed Peas songs, talking babies and men in tights – yep, Super Bowl Sunday is just a couple days away. Can't decide who to root for but still want to dress for the occasion? Lucky for you the New York Giants and New England Patriots have nearly identical team colors so you can still be in spirit without choosing sides. Check out my style picks for the most watched TV event of the year and if in doubt, stick to reds and blues. I guarantee no one will know you're only at their viewing party for the beer and halftime show.
I'm lucky enough to be heading to Indianapolis for the game this weekend and I don't know which performance I'm most looking forward to – Tom Brady's or Madonna's. Either way, I can't wait! Will you be watching the game (or at the very least the commercials) this Sunday?

Whether you oversee a large tract of land or own a smaller parcel, there are many wildlife management techniques you can use to help attract and keep wild turkeys on your property.
Wild turkeys, like deer, are �edge species,� because of their need for more than one type of habitat. Most of the time, with large tracts of land, this isn�t a problem because the vast landscape is diverse enough. But in the case of small-acreage, one-habitat properties, it�s up to you as the landowner to create varied, preferred habitats if you expect turkeys to use the property.
For optimal turkey habitat, most experts believe a �rule of halves� should be applied to the landscape. What that means is that half of the area (and if you own a small tract, then include surrounding properties) should be in mature forests and the other half in early-succession openings, such as fields or clear-cut and plantation-cut landscapes.
To create even better and more varied habitats for turkeys, you should offer differing age classes of forests and early-succession areas � and make prescribed burning a big part of your management plan. This will enable new growth of succulent, woody ornamentals, native grasses and weedy-type flowers.
Hardwood lowlands provide travel corridors that turkeys and deer use extensively and feel comfortable moving through. Most wild turkeys prefer to roost in trees over or near water, so it�s important to leave these areas undisturbed and free from timbering.
Buffer strips of native grasses and woody ornamentals should be left unmowed where clear-cut areas meet pine or hardwood forests. Hens require this thick understory cover for nesting.
In Florida, most hens begin laying their eggs in late March or early April and the eggs take about 25 days to hatch, so take care not to burn or mow through August. After hatching, poults will roost on the ground for the first 14 days, and during this period, approximately 70 percent of these young birds won�t survive, primarily because of predation from raccoons, hawks, coyotes, foxes and bobcats.
Attempts to control these predators are usually ineffective and economically unfeasible, so your efforts are better spent creating and maintaining good-quality brood habitat.
Good brood habitat should hold food in the form of seeds, insects and tender, new-growth vegetation for young poults to feed upon throughout the summer. It should consist of 1- to 3-foot-tall grass and weeds open enough to enable the young poults to move about, yet dense enough to provide cover from the above-mentioned predators.
There is great interest nationally in the planting of food plots for wildlife, including for turkeys. Within extensive closed-canopy forested areas, food plots and/or game feeders are essential to keeping turkeys on your property. Where an open forest structure is maintained by adequate timber thinning and the use of fire, such supplemental feeding is not as necessary because there is enough natural browse vegetation on which game can feed.
On very large tracts of land, sufficient supplemental feeding can be quite expensive. In these cases, proper use of burning and timber-thinning management are more economical ways of providing food for turkeys and other wildlife.
Food plots, though, are a lot more cost-effective at feeding game than using feeders on moderate-sized pieces of property. In cases of smaller tracts, perhaps where food plots can�t be utilized because the landscape is all lowland and you have a closed canopy, game feeders filled with corn or soybeans are your only option for attracting turkeys.
When thinking about good food plot sites, avoid excessively wet or dry areas, and don�t place them along heavily used roads to minimize disturbance and possible poaching.
Look to create these openings along an edge where upland pines meet a hardwood drain. This way, you�ll have an area where three separate habitats converge. Keep in mind that it is recommended that 2 percent to 3 percent of the land should be in these permanent openings.
The best food plots are long and narrow rectangular shapes that follow the contour of the land. When possible, create food plots where the length (longest part) runs east to west. That way, the planted crops will receive the most direct sunlight.
In the fall, cereal grains like wheat, oats and rye can be planted along with Austrian winter peas, clover and brassicas like turnips, rape and kale. Except for clover, these crops grow well in most of Florida.
Clover requires a higher soil pH � between 6.5 and 7 � and it often won�t grow in the sandy soils that make up most of our state, unless you apply enough lime to bring the pH level up. In the northern-tiered counties that border Alabama and Georgia, the soil is richer with red clay, and several varieties of clover and other legumes will grow well there.
All of the above-mentioned cool-season forages can be planted by �broadcast� method after Oct. 1. At least twice as much fertilizer should be applied. Slightly cover the seed by pulling a drag over it, and try to put your crop in the ground when the soil is holding some moisture and rain is in the forecast.
In the spring after May 1, you can plow under your �browned-up� fall crop and replace it with any combination of soybeans, cowpeas, browntop millet, sorghum or peanuts. If you can afford it, turkeys are especially fond of chufa. That, along with the other warm-season forages, can be broadcasted and planted just like the cool-weather crops.
Hopefully, using some or all of these wildlife-management practices will help bring in turkeys and increase your property�s carrying capacity for birds. If you need assistance, contact the FWC�s Landowner Assistance Program, the National Wild Turkey Federation, Natural Resources Conservation Service or your county agricultural extension agent. Here�s wishing you luck obtaining your management goals and objectives.
Tony Young has many years of experience managing turkeys, deer and timber on private properties in the Panhandle. He�s an avid turkey hunter, and before he was the media relations coordinator for the FWC�s Division of Hunting and Game Management, he worked seven years for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

DOVER — The Fifth Amendment, a broad but powerful legal protection for Americans, will be the topic of discussion in a hearing to compel Loraine Skaltsis to testify in court next month.
Lorraine has pleaded the Fifth more than 90 times since February, according to court documents, during meetings for creditors in her bankruptcy court hearings. Meanwhile, her husband is a patient in a psychiatric ward since attempting suicide three months before being charged with operating a Ponzi scheme and scamming local residents of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Attorney General's office says Nickolas Sklatsis is $1.2 million in debt.
Court documents show Lorraine has $2 million in liabilities.
While Lorraine has the right to plead the Fifth, to not be held to answer in the hearings, the 21 local residents who invested with her husband want to know where their money is today.
Two investors, Donald Andolina and William DiProfio, filed the motion to compel Lorraine to answer earlier this month. In the motion, they said Lorraine waived her privilege of pleading the Fifth when responding to cross-examination and that she should "be compelled to provide responsive and substantive answers to questions from creditors."
The motion states, "Allowing Debtor to continue to assert the privilege against self incrimination would hinder the Court's ability to make the essential determinations regarding Debtor's eligibility for discharge ..."
Every American citizen has the constitutional right to plead the Fifth Amendment.
When asked why one would plead the Fifth during a bankruptcy case, Albert Scherr, a University of New Hampshire Law School professor, said, "The judge could declare you bankrupt and give your assets to creditors or you could go to jail on what you say. What would you choose?"
Richard J. Lehmann, of Douglas, Leonard & Garvey, P.C., who previously worked as Assistant Attorney General for the New Hampshire Department of Justice and as an Assistant Prosecutor at the Merrimack County Attorney's Office and legal counsel to the New Hampshire Senate, said if the answer could subject her to criminal liability, "she is allowed to assert the Fifth Amendment because she can't be forced to give evidence against herself."
According to Eric Forcier of the state's bureau of securities regulation, Nickolas's case is a criminal case being investigated by the Attorney General's office while Lorraine's case is not criminal and is being treated separately. However, the state is still involved in Lorraine's case.
"We're at the hearings because it is our administrative case," Forcier said, adding, "We're a creditor with respect to Nickolas and we're doing everything we can for the people victimized by him."
Forcier has been present during the continuation of the meeting for creditors in Lorraine's bankruptcy case.
He has asked her questions throughout the meetings, such as her previous employment and how she and Nickolas made money through the real estate management entities they owned; if she had ever seen the promissory notes made from the business to 21 local investors and if she knew where the money from the investors was being deposited.
To these, and more than 80 other questions, Lorraine has pleaded the Fifth Amendment.
According to Lehmann, people only have the right to plead the Fifth to questions that may incriminate them through their testimony.
Scherr said the amendment gives people the right to not criminalize themselves, but that there are ways around it.
First, he said, the Attorney General's Office could grant her immunity.
"Meaning, nothing she says in bankruptcy hearings could be used against her outside of the hearing," he said, adding that this will take away her Fifth Amendment privilege in the hearings.
Second, if the party seeking to compel her testimony can convince the judge it is not possible that anything would be used against her, no criminal liability, Sherr said they can compel her to testify, but the decision lies in the hands of the judge.
"If the party can't convince the judge, then they should not be able to compel her to testify," he said.
Lehmann said that if the court finds that evidence would not incriminate her, such as saying what her job title was at her previous part-time position, they can force her to answer and put her in jail if she does not answer.
The hearing on the motion to compel is scheduled for May 21. According to Lehmann, the judge will do a background check on what is and is not incriminating to Lorraine to determine what she needs to answer and what she does not need to answer.
"You can always file a motion, but just because you file doesn't mean you are going to get it," Scherr said. "But, why not try and see what happens?"
Andolina and DiProfio's attorney, Brian D. Kenyon, from Keri Marshall Law, said the goal of his clients is to simply seek the truth.
"If she said X is worth $10,000, then we want to know where she got that figure and if she doesn't have the answer, then we can't get to the truth," he said, adding this all comes down to cross-examination.
He said he found it bizarre that Lorraine would answer one question and then plead the Fifth to a follow-up question.
He said the questions asked in the upcoming hearing will be limited to the representation she made under oath in her bankruptcy testimony regarding assets.
"We are seeking the ability to test those statements," he said.
According to Scherr, he would advise Lorraine to continue to plead the Fifth just like her current attorney, Hamilton R. Krans, Jr., is doing.
"I would be telling her to do exactly what she is doing until or unless the opposing party makes the formal promise of immunity," he said. "Until they say there is no way we are going to charge you, until they say that in a formal way with a grant from the Attorneys General Office of immunity, she will continue, she should continue, to assert her Fifth privilege because there are circumstances of just simply her awareness of what her husband is doing and her failure to act that could subject her to criminal liability."
Scherr said the problem with Lorraine and Nickolas's cases, even though they are being treated separately, is that they are "intertwined."
"That's the problem," he said. "If she has no possible criminal liability, she can't assert her Fifth privilege just to protect her husband, but to the extent that she is aware of what her husband is doing, and to the extent they can show her participation in what he is doing in any number of ways, she can be charged as an accomplice to what her husband is doing."Scherr said if Lorraine is granted immunity, Nickolas and his public defender, Carl Swenson, are the ones who should be nervous.
"They don't want her to be granted immunity because then she is answering questions that could get her husband in trouble," he said.

After LeBron James decided to leave the Miami Heat for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, Heat owner Micky Arison said that he was "shocked and disappointed."
So was the rest of the city.
Newspapers seemed to be split on the decision. Miami Herald columnist Armando Salguero wrote that James "shot an air ball" with his decision, while South Florida Sun Sentinel columnist Dave Hyde found it more appropriate to thank King James and the "Heatles."
Online, though, most of the social media chatter out of Miami on Friday morning was about Heat fans, who have a reputation for being less authentic than in other cities.
Many joked that Heat fans are going to jump over to Cleveland's side and opined that American Airlines Arena might be a little emptier next year and that, as Matthew Kick tweeted, the Miami bandwagon could sure use a fix-up.
Chris Bosh is likely to sign a max contract with the Houston Rockets, meaning that Dwayne Wade is presumably the only star returning to South Beach, barring a major roster move, as Carven Holcombe tweeted this morning.
We'll see what Pat Riley and the rest of the Heat front office can pull off, but right now fans aren't sold on next season.
The list of players signed to 2015 contracts with Miami doesn't exactly read like a championship contender, even with Wade's assumed return. As it stands this morning, the Heat have two free agents, Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger, one rookie, Shabazz Napier, one reserve center, Justin Hamilton, and incumbent Norris Cole to fill the void left by James and Bosh.
It's not exactly promising, as J.Earle points out.
Maybe some open tryouts will do the trick.

Cisco IOS: Forward Called Teclo DID To An Extension, Translate, Translation-Rule Limitation
A client of mine had a Cisco 2811 installed before I started working for them so I had to go over the configuration to become familiar with things. One of the Cisco IOS configuration items used was translation-rule which will allow 10 to 15 Rules to be created under each translation-rule. In this scenario they were using translation-rule to forward external DID's from their telco provider to internal extensions. This works fine except for the fact that if you have more than 10 (in this case) external numbers you won't be able to continue to forward them to internal extensions without complicating the configuration using multiple dial plans, etc. The easiest way to get away from the translation-rule being used in this way is to assign t he external DID telephone numbers as secondary numbers under each extension configuration as explained below.
