In all honesty, I promised myself my next blog post on here would have been about my birthday, my amazing family & partner and how they went out of their way to make my day super special, but then I made this and I decided that people needed to know about this witchcraft first!Is it pumpkin soup? Is it pasta? It's creamy pumpkin "carbonara" with smoky fried sage!
For the new players, I am one of the basquillion people on earth who are lactose intolerant. Unfortunately for me, being vegan didn't work out so well in the end, and while I lead a mainly dairy free life (being able to tolerate small amounts of some cheeses), I do find myself pining over gorgeous, comforting creamy pastas even though they make my belly grumble in rebellion and have me balled up in farty agony hours after eating.
I love soy milk, but I really just don't like cream/cheese alternatives (and neither does Alex, for that matter) so I just avoid the whole shebang and miss out on fun on both sides of the fence. So you can imagine, when I stumbled across this recipe, featured on the Vegan Foody's tumblr (well worth a peruse if you're on that site and keen for some dinner ideas) I couldn't BELIEVE there was not a drop of cream or cheese used in this beautiful, creamy, glossy sauce. No cream, no alternatives, it's pure vegetable power!
All credit to Cookie and Kate for this recipe, it's so amazing, I just had to share with y'all!
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
- 2 pound butternut or kabocha squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into small ½-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed or chopped
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes (up to ¼ teaspoon for spicier pasta sauce)
- Sea salt and/or kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 12 ounces whole grain linguine or fettucine (Z: all I had in the house was spaghetti, whoops!)
- Optional additional garnishes: shaved Parmesan or Pecorino or goats cheese and/or smoked salt
- Heat oil in a large (read: 12 inch) pan over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sage and toss to coat. Let the sage get crispy before transferring it to a small bowl. Sprinkle it lightly with sea salt and set the bowl aside.
- Add squash, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes to skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until squash is soft and liquid is reduced by half, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
- Once the squash mixture is done cooking, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the contents of the pan to a blender. Reserve the pan. Purée the mixture until smooth (beware of hot steam escaping from the top of the blender), then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine pasta, squash purée and ¼ cup cooking liquid in reserved pan and cook over medium heat, tossing and adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce coats pasta, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve pasta topped with fried sage, more black pepper and shaved Parmesan/Pecorino and/or smoked salt, if desired.
- Adapted from Bon Appetit's Winter Squash Carbonara with Pancetta and Sage (February 2014).
- Recipe yields 4 large servings.
- The squash purée is a killer bisque, which you could thin with vegetable broth if you'd like. You could also stir it into risotto at the end of cooking.
- Make it gluten-free: use gluten-free pasta.
I actually cannot believe how gorgeous and creamy and thick and saucy and.. Perfect this sauce is! I served mine with a little crumbled goats cheese on top, it really brought out the subtle sweetness of the butternut, but omitting the cheese would make it a totally vegan recipe! If you were feeling ultra luxe, you could even stir some butter or cream into the sauce while combining it with the pasta, but I think the texture is luscious as is.
It would be delicious with vegetables added, like fresh peas, broccoli or mushrooms, but on its own its a perfectly satisfying meal, like a snuggly blanket for your tummy! Do have a look through Cookie & Kate's blog for more amazing recipes, and give this one a go; I promise it is as delicious as it looks!
Thanks for reading!

Women are rising in two very different, two very macho arenas: Seafaring and hunting.
Although as of 2003, only 1 to 2% of the world's seafarers were female, the Women's International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA) reports a 40% increase in membership in the past two years, which may reflect a general increase in the number of women taking to the water. There are no global figures for the number of women ship commanders or officers, but people familiar with the industry say the number is increasing.
Not surprisingly, women are often discouraged from following this path. Capt. Sherri Hickman is a Houston ship channel pilot who used to work as an officer on ships with U.S. government cargo. She recalls returning to her Pennsylvania high school for career day, where she gave a talk about her work. Her lecture was labeled "Men Only" on the program. "Even today, women don't even realize the field is there," she said. "They normally feel like: 'I didn't know they let women do that.'"
"In the old times, men thought that this job cannot be done by a woman. Before, they believed a woman on board brings bad luck," adds Bianca Froemming, a German ship commander. "it is harder for a woman. You have to show more on board, you always have to work harder than a man to become higher in rank." Froemming is one of only five German female commanders on merchant vessels, out of a total of 1,400. This may seem like a tiny percentage—it is a tiny percentage—but the fact that Froemming has managed to rise this high in the ranks is laudable.
Women are also trying their hands at another male dominated activity: Hunting. The overall number of hunters in America has fallen in the past few years, but the number of women picking up the weapons has only increased, reports Northwest Public Radio. The Idaho Fish and Game Department has welcomed the influx of women interested in game hunting by holding women-only "new hunter" workshops.
Women of all ages have signed up for these classes. There are hunters from different skill levels as well: Jean Spencer reports that this is "going to be my first year" hunting elk, while Colleen Trese says she's been hunting for 12 years, but only smaller animals. This will be her elk season as well. Trese says she first got into hunting from her work, "being a wildlife biologist. My family doesn't hunt, but I've hunted with people that I've worked for. That's kind of how I've been learning." Others, like Spencer, were roped into the sport by their husbands or brothers. Class instructor Julie McKarley has been hunting all her life. For her, hunting is a family activity. "I got mine. My mom got hers and my dad got his, all in one day," she says of last season. "And it made for this great family outing. My mom has lots of pictures of it and she says that's one of her best memories of going out on this elk hunt and camping out with us and having a great time."
Hunting and shooting instructor Jeanie Elias says she also seen more women in her classes. She claims women are often better hunters than men because they focus less on the trophy and more on the food. "They don't have this idea of 'I got to have this perfect rack on my wall,'" she says. "When I go hunting, I'm not looking for the perfect rack on a deer. I'm looking for meat."

As Samsung releases a steady stream of larger and larger phones, and Samsung ads are proving brutally effective, and Business Insider's own editor-in-chief can't stop tweeting about the unstoppability of giant phones, I feel compelled to defend my iPhone.
After all, Apple itself stays pretty quiet in this debate.
(Although Apple CEO Tim Cook commented on it in a recent earnings call: "We put a lot of thought into screen sizes and we think we picked the right one."]
Samsung's giant phablets and phones remind me of sports utility vehicles.
When SUVs first came out, they seemed unstoppable. They kept getting bigger and bigger, as advertisements for these vehicles and owners of these vehicles mocked people who drove smaller cars, and for awhile the SUVs dominated the market. But at a certain point consumers started realizing that the benefits of a giant SUV — e.g. being able to drive through streams — were irrelevant to most consumers. Meanwhile those smaller cars had some pretty cool perks, like fuel efficiency and style.
So what's the point of a giant screen? It's better for watching movies and playing games. Some people consider it better for typing. And that's it.
Now let me explain why Apple products appeal to me as a consumer.
My iPhone 4S is an undeniably beautiful device. The operating system works like a charm. It provides me with a set of basic apps that enhance my interaction with the world (these include Mail, Safari, iTunes, ESPN, Twitter, Foursquare, Instagram, Facebook, Dictionary.com, Notepad, Google Maps, and a few more). I like how easily it fits in my pocket and hand.
As for the reported flexibility of the Android operating system, I personally don't give a hoot about advanced customization.
As for watching movies and playing immersive games on my phone, I simply don't have time for these things during the course of my day. I don't want to watch 5 minutes of a movie on the subway. When I do watch a movie, I would rather do so on the large screen of an iPad or the larger screen of a TV (with Apple TV hookup) or the larger screen at the movie theater.
So no, I don't envy Samsung's giant screen. In fact, I'm excited to see that Apple, with the iWatch, and Google, with Glass, are moving toward even smaller screens.
The end goal of Apple — as hinted by CEO Tim Cook's comment that " we are not a hardware company" — goes beyond the phone in your hand and toward a vision of a seamless digital world.

Mars Orange is a bright, extremely light red and appears almost pinkish in contrast with darker colors. It has incredible tinting strength and opacity. The synthetic form of Mars Orange is made from iron oxides and is cleaner, brighter, and denser than its ochre-based counterparts.
Mars Orange has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Mars Orange has no significant hazards.
The word Mars refers to the Roman god of iron and war. Mars Orange has been manufactured as a pigment since the 17th century.

Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high intensity color used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue. It is slow drying and an excellent base color for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a very good alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well and can be used to emphasize mineral colors in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so it can overpower other colors. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.
Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.
This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been in use since 1938.

Raw Sienna is a moderately dull deep earth yellow with medium tinting strength and excellent transparency. It is one of the basic permanent artists' pigments and is made from a form of limonite clay whose yellow-brown color results from ferric oxides. Raw Sienna is preferable to Yellow Ochre for creating flesh tones, due to its higher subtlety of color when mixed with white. It creates a bright Ochre when mixed with Cadmium Yellow and creates greens and grays when mixed with Ultramarine. Raw Sienna dries quickly.
Raw Sienna has good permanence.
Raw Sienna has no significant hazards.
Raw Sienna has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times, although its current name came about during the Renaissance. It comes from the city of Siena, in Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, meaning earth of Siena. Sienna was famous for the mining and production of earth pigments from the Renaissance until World War II. Due to the depletion of clay deposits in Tuscany, Italian siennas now come from other areas, including Sicily and Sardinia.

Golf star Phil Mickelson was not involved in insider trading in the shares of Clorox Co when billionaire investor Carl Icahn was attempting an unsolicited takeover of the consumer products company in 2011, the New York Times reported, citing people briefed on the probe.
Clorox was among the stocks that U.S. authorities were examining as part of a three-year investigation into well-timed trades by Mickelson and Las Vegas gambler William Walters.
The FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not find evidence that Mickelson traded Clorox shares, but Icahn and Walters remain under investigation over Clorox, the report said citing the people.
Mickelson's agent and representatives for Carl Icahn could not be reached for comment outside regular U.S. business hours.
The federal authorities believed that Icahn may have shared details about his stock bid with Walters, who later passed on the information to Mickelson.
The FBI is pursuing a criminal investigation in the case, while the SEC is running a parallel civil inquiry.
Mickelson, 43, a three-time Masters champion and one of the world's highest-paid athletes, earlier said he had done nothing wrong and was cooperating with the investigation.
Although, Mickelson is not connected to the Clorox trades, he is not in the clear on Dean Foods Co

The Georgia Supreme Court Monday ruled Christ Church and its property belong to the national Episcopal Church, not the local congregation.
The court's 6-1 ruling upheld earlier rulings by the state Court of Appeals and Chatham County Superior Court Judge Michael Karpf.
The 45-page majority opinion written by Justice David Nahmias found that the First Amendment's guarantee to freedom of religion "allows the local congregation and its members to leave the Episcopal Church and worship as they please, like all other Americans, but it does not allow them to take with them property that has for generations been accumulated and held by a constituent church of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America."
"In the end, it is fair to say, as the trial court did, that Christ Church can no more shrug off the trust, than the National Church could unilaterally import it. The trust has historical roots going back to the English church and the founding of the Episcopal Church in this country. Christ Church got the benefit of its bargain with the National Church for many years. The National Church has the right to insist on its part of the bargain as well."
The issue in the case was who had ultimate control of the historic church building and other church property, valued at nearly $3 million, after the local congregation broke away from the national church in 2007 in a dispute over the affirmation of an openly gay bishop, Gene Robinson in New Hampshire.
The Episcopal Diocese of Georgia sued in 2007, asking the court to declare that all property of Christ Church was held in trust for the Episcopal Church.
Church groups repond
Episcopal Bishop Scott Benhase said in a prepared statement the church is grateful the court upheld its legal right to the property but said that satisfaction was muted by the knowledge the decision was "painful for some of our brothers and sisters in Christ."
His reference was to the congregation that disaffiliated from the Episcopal Church while continuing to occupy the church property.
"While we were forced to take action when the breakaway congregation deprived the thriving congregation of Christ Church Episcopal of the property we hold in trust for them on Johnson Square, we know that both groups share faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of the world," Benhase said.
The continuing Christ Church congregation has been worshiping at another location for four years pending a final outcome of the case.
In a statement released Monday, the Rev. Michael White, rector of Christ Church, said the congregation plans to continue to worship at St. Michael and All Angel's Episcopal Church on Washington Avenue each Sunday at 5 p.m. while it concludes administrative matters necessary in the transition back to the Johnson Square site.
The church, founded in 1733 and considered the "mother church of Georgia," is located on Johnson Square on land designated by General James Oglethorpe.
Meanwhile, Christ Church attorney Jim Gardner said the state high court's ruling is being reviewed and the church group will meet to decide its next course of action, which could include an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"At its core, this case is about fundamental property rights of individual congregations in hierarchical churches," Gardner said.
Added board chair David Reeves, "The Episcopal Church has sought to exploit the judicial system in an attempt to coerce local congregations to accept its revisionist theology. ... Should Christ Church not have access to its property during the appeal process, Independent Presbyterian Church in downtown Savannah has graciously offered to allow us to hold services in their buiding."
The church received title to the building by land grants from the royal government in 1758 and post Revolution state legislature in 1789. In 1823, Christ Church co-founded the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia and formally joined the National Episcopal Church.
The dispute deepened in 2004-2005 as Christ Church representatives expressed concerns about the theological direction of their general church.
In September 2007, the local church's leadership voted to leave the national group and to keep the church property, which they have refused to give up. It aligned itself with the conservative Anglican denominations in Africa.
Dueling opinions
In his majority opinion, Nahmias said "most of our church property cases have ultimately relied on (church) governing documents to resolve the dispute."
"And the record shows that at all times during the 180 years before this dispute began, Christ Church acted consistently with the Episcopal Church's cannons regarding its property, demonstrating the local church's understanding that it could not consecrate, alienate or encumber — much less leave with — its property without the consent of the parent church."
Monday's ruling was "consistent with U.S. Supreme Court precedent, this court's prior cases and the decisions of several other state supreme courts."
In a 96-page dissent, Superior Court Judge S. Phillip Brown of the Macon Judicial Circuit said the majority opinion "reaches an unjust result that is contrary to law in many ways."
He said the "local congregation has spent large amount of time and money to prevent the National Church from wrongfully taking its property" through judicial action without the National Church having any document that qualifies as a title document under Georgia law."
"How else can we fairly describe the National Church's conduct other than an attempt to take (the local church's) property without paying for it."
Brown was sitting in the case for Justice George Carley who did not participate.

MANILA, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Philippine President Benigno S. Aquino III has declared a state of national calamity following the devastation brought by Typhoon Bopha (local name Pablo) in Southern Philippines, a senior government official said Saturday.
Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte, in an interview over state-run radio station, said that Aquino signed Proclamation No. 522 declaring a state of national calamity Friday night after he returned from a visit in typhoon-stricken Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental provinces.
"The declaration of a state of national calamity will hasten the rescue, relief and rehabilitation efforts of the government and the private sector, including any international humanitarian assistance, and will effectively control the prices of basic goods and commodities for the affected areas," the Proclamation said.
Valte said that price control covers only the areas, which were severely damaged by the weather disturbance. These include the provinces of Compostela Valley, Davao Oriental and Davao del Norte in Region XI; Surigao del Sur in CARAGA Region; Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City in Region X; Siquijor in Region VII; and, Palawan in Region IV-B.
The Proclamation said that the declaration also necessitates that the mechanisms for international humanitarian assistance are implemented pursuant to the "Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010", and will further afford the local government units ample latitude to utilize their respective calamity funds for the rescue, relief and rehabilitation of their constituents.
The latest data released on Saturday by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) showed that death toll hit 456, while 533 were still missing.
The estimated cost of damage in infrastructure, agriculture and private properties stood at 4 billion pesos (about 1 billion U.S. dollars).

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) � After playing 32 innings in roughly 31 hours, North Carolina's players may not have been completely rested.
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) � After playing 32 innings in roughly 31 hours, North Carolina's players may not have been completely rested.
Taylore Cherry sure was.
The first-time starter worked five solid innings to help the Tar Heels beat Virginia Tech 4-1 on Sunday in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
Cherry (1-0), a 6-foot-8, 270-pound freshman, pitched just 3 1-3 innings all season and never worked more than one inning in any of his five previous appearances.
But he gave up just five hits to the tournament's hottest-hitting team while working into the sixth inning � and coach Mike Fox called those accomplishments �the story� of the game.
�He's worked hard, and he's prepared,� Fox said. �You never know when your moment is going to be.�
Skye Bolt was credited with two RBIs for top-seeded North Carolina, which earned its sixth ACC tournament title but just their second since 1990.
North Carolina claimed its 19th straight victory against the mistake-prone Hokies (38-20) and denied them their first conference title since they won the Atlantic-10 tournament in 2000. Virginia Tech made four errors and they all led directly to UNC runs.
�I thought it was unfortunate that we didn't play a clean baseball game,� Virginia Tech coach Pete Hughes said. �We always want to play good defense and throw a lot of strikes, and we just didn't play good defense today.�
The Tar Heels finished up with an exhausting 4-0 record this week in Durham, and the middle two wins lasted a combined 32 innings.
They needed 14 innings to beat Clemson on Friday night and 18 to defeat rival N.C. State in a game that ended just before 2 a.m. Sunday � roughly 11 hours before the title game.
Fox, who said he canceled the pregame meal and instead encouraged his players to sleep in, insisted he didn't notice many tired Tar Heels.
�Youth � it's a great thing,� he quipped.
But ACC player of the year Colin Moran had a slightly different perspective.
�When you're playing for a championship, it's not very hard to get up for it,� he said. �But I'd be lying if I said we weren't a little bit tired.�
The Hokies, who entered hitting .310 as a team while going 3-0 in their four-team pool, loaded the bases in both the fifth and sixth innings but got only one run out of it: Tyler Horan scored on Chad Morgan's double-play groundout off freshman reliever Trevor Kelley in the sixth to pull Virginia Tech to 2-1.
�It's a shame, but it's baseball,� Tech shortstop Chad Pinder said. �You're not going to have the timely hits every single game. ... (If) you're not getting those clutch hits against a team like North Carolina, it's tough to get a win.�
Kelley retired the final 11 batters he faced, starting with that double-play ball, to earn his second save.
All four of North Carolina's runs came as a result of Virginia Tech's miscues.
Landon Lassiter scored in the first when second baseman Alex Perez couldn't handle Bolt's sharp grounder off Eddie Campbell (2-4).
Two innings later, the Tar Heels had runners at the corners with one out when Bolt grounded to third, but Brendon Hayden's throw to second pulled Perez off the bag and allowed Lassiter to score and make it 2-0.
The Tar Heels added two insurance runs in the eighth. Lassiter � who reached on a throwing error by Hayden � came around to score when relief pitcher Joe Mantiply fielded Bolt's sacrifice bunt and threw it past Hayden and down the third-base line to push it to 3-1.
Brian Holberton's sacrifice fly three batters later brought home Bolt to make it a three-run game.

Revere Excels Against Former Team, Twins Top Phils
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — New Phillies center fielder Ben Revere got off to a fast start against his former team with two hits and a steal Wednesday in Philadelphia's 12-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
Revere also scored twice. The Twins traded him to the Phillies for pitcher Vance Worley and pitching prospect Trevor May during the offseason.
Aaron Hicks, who hopes to inherit Revere's old job, doubled and singled for the Twins. He drove in two runs and scored once. Josh Willingham had three hits for Minnesota and Ryan Doumit homered.
Twins starting pitcher Kevin Correia, who left Fort Myers for San Diego after the start to be with his wife for the birth of their third child, gave up three runs in 2 1-3 innings. He allowed five hits and two walks.

Mac OS X v10.6 and later information
In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, background maintenance tasks that do not run when the computer is asleep are run after it wakes from sleep mode.
For more advanced information, visit these developer webpages:
- http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/periodic.8.html
- http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man5/launchd.plist.5.html
Mac OS X v10.4 and v10.5
If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In this situation, you may wish to force the maintenance tasks to run. There are two options: Use a third-party application or Terminal.
Use a third-party application
Some third-party applications may allow you to run these tasks whenever you wish. Four examples include:
- Macaroni by Thomas Harrington
- Mac Janitor by Brian R. Hill
- CronMaster by Dan Klein
- weRclean by Parental Advisory
You can search for these or other solutions at VersionTracker (http://www.versiontracker.com/).
Use the Terminal (advanced)
Note: As mentioned above, these steps are not necessary in Mac OS X v10.6 or later.
- Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities).
- Type: sudo periodic daily
Tip: Typing "daily" runs tasks normally scheduled for a daily interval. Type "monthly" or "weekly" in place of "daily" to runs tasks scheduled for those intervals. Weekly tasks usually require a longer time to run than others.
- Press Return.
- Enter your Admin password when prompted, then press Return.
- Quit Terminal when the task is complete.
The tasks are scheduled for 03:15 to 05:30 in your computer's local time zone. This is described further in "Mac OS X: Unexplained Disk Activity Produced by 'find' Process." These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large in Mac OS X v10.5 or earlier.

An estimated 16,800 fires are intentionally set in residences nationwide each year, with 41 percent of those occurring within vacant buildings.
Each year these fires result in an estimated 280 deaths, 775 injuries and $593 million in property loss, according to the U.S. Fire Administration.
National Arson Awareness Week runs Sunday through May 11.
The theme this year is "Reducing Residential Arson."
"What we're trying to do is draw attention that arson is still very much alive," Battalion Chief Alan Carter, of the Cape Coral Fire Department, said.
Carter is one of the team leaders with the Lee County Fire-Arson Task Force. Re-established in 2000, the group serves as an extension of the State Fire Marshal's Office and Department of Agricultural Law Enforcement.
It brings members and agencies together to assist in fire and explosion investigations of structures, vehicles, wildland and personal property. The Cape fire department is one of approximately 20 participating agencies.
"Our initial goal is the cause and origin - seeing if it's an incendiary fire," Carter said. "Every district in Lee County has had arson at one point."
In recognition of National Arson Awareness Week, the task force will have a display set up from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 11 at the Miromar Outlets in Estero. It will have incendiary devices from past arson fire investigations.
Members of the task force will be on hand with educational materials.
The public can help to reduce residential arson by being alert to situations.
"Anyone that sees something that's out of place or suspicious - do not hesitate to contact local law enforcement," he said, noting that a big help recently in arson cases has been surveillance cameras set up at homes.
"Every month we always have some type of incendiary fire," he added of the Cape specifically.
An incendiary fire is intentional, with the goal to do harm or damage.
"It can range from wildland fires, all the way through home fires and vehicle fires," Carter said. "We've had every range of incendiary fires."
The city recently, however, has experienced a slowing down.
"We're seeing a little bit of a decrease in the incendiary fires," he said.
According to Carter, just a couple of years ago the Cape was second in the state for the number of incendiary fires, specifically residential ones.
The U.S. Fire Administration reported that the motivations behind the burning of residences are curiosity, vandalism, concealing another crime, excitement, revenge, and insurance fraud or arson for profit.

Tarzan and the Diamond of Asher: Al-Ton-Tome's New Alliance (07/13/1934)
"We bring you Tarzan, that immortal fictional character of Edgar Rice Burroughs, in a new and exciting serial entitled Tarzan and the Diamond of Asher. Deep in the heart of Africa rises a mighty cone-shaped mountain, an extinct volcano, in the huge crater of which lies The Forbidden City of Asher. To reach this stronghold two safaris endure hardships and perils that bring death to some and high adventure to all. One safari is bent on the rescue of the son of its leader. The other, headed by a wily and unscrupulous Oriental, seeks only the Father of Diamonds; and through the intrigue and mystery and the danger moves the majestic figure of Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle."

I'm sure everyone is aware that there are two ways to spell colour, favourite and a number of other words which the Americans insist on spelling differently to the British (and therefore spell them wrongly in my humble opinion )
So, is it colour or color, favourite or favorite? It's a minor issue but it should be used consistantly across the wiki whichever version is preferred.

As the game's opening cinema takes place, you'll find The Ballad of Gay Tony's main character, Luis, in a bit of a bind. Veterans of Grand Theft Auto IV's main story will remember the bank robbery scene involving the McReary brothers, and you'll find yourself viewing said robbery from a different point of view. Luis is on the ground, with a man armed with a pistol next to him. The bungling Irish brothers go through the motions, but as their explosive device detonates, many of them are shot. Ultimately, the robbery comes to a conclusion, with Luis briefly being interviewed by the police before heading off on his way.
Luis will then walk the streets of Liberty City for a couple of minutes. Take in the sights and sounds of this pseudo-New York City, as you see some familiar faces, including Niko, in various scenes. Ultimately, Luis will arrive at his destination. It's at this point that you will meet "Gay Tony" himself, a rich nightclub owner who employs Luis as his bodyguard. The two catch up with each other, and clearly have a good rapport. Luis and Tony fill each other in on business as Tony gets ready for the day.
Suddenly, an unexpected surprise occurs. Two low-level Italian mobsters bust into Tony's apartment, and they're clearly looking for something. Just what is it that they want? Money, of course! After some racial slurs are thrown back and forth, the mobsters cut to the chase, wield a pistol, point it at Luis and Tony, and make off with some cash Tony had stashed on a nearby shelf. And just like that, the mobsters leave. Following them out the door thereafter is Luis, and the surprisingly-calm Tony.
You'll find yourself on Feldspar Street, where Tony's pad is. Walk to the car Tony gets into in front of his building, and you'll be ordered to drive him to the Hercules Nightclub, which is located on Galveston Avenue in between Kunzite Street and Lorimar Street. When you arrive, a brief cutscene will ensue, as Tony gives instructions to one of his bouncers about an important client rolling through. When you regain control, turn the car around and head to Maisonette 9 Nightclub, also located on Galveston Avenue, in between Jade Street and Iron Street. This is your next destination.
When you arrive at Masionette 9, you'll get to roam around the club a bit. You'll be shown how to drink, dance and party, and you can do all of that at will. Eventually, however, Tony will call you on your cell phone, so be sure to pick up. When you do, he'll tell you that some of your (Luis') friends are outside causing trouble with another one of the bouncers. Head on upstairs and outside, and see what's going on. After cooling down the situation, Luis is given the night off by Tony, and heads off with his two friends.
All that's left to do now is drive your two friends back to their apartment. As usual, the GPS will bring you there in short order. Pay close attention to the conversation the three men have as the car heads northward towards their home on the western edge of Vespucci Circus, and you'll get filled in on a bit of the game's back story. Seems that Luis' friends are drug dealers, and that Luis himself was once caught up in that game, and even did some time in prison as a result. After dropping your friends off, you can then head to your own safe house on Galveston Avenue, in between Wardite Street and Vauxite Street. Pay attention to the in-game information on how to use all of your safe house's amenities!

Hossa misses practice, expected to play in Game 5by Dan Rosen / Chicago Blackhawks
"Hossa is fine," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said.
Hossa was a late scratch Saturday for Game 3 against the Boston Bruins. He practiced Sunday, sat out the morning skate on Monday but was in the lineup for Game 4 at TD Garden and had one assist and four shots on goal during 19:07 of ice time in Chicago's 6-5 overtime win. Hossa has an unspecified upper-body injury.
Quenneville said he expects Hossa will be feeling more comfortable going into Game 5 than he was in Game 4.
"I think that one thing about Hossa, production offensively or responsibility defensively, complementing our team game in all facets of the game is what we look for," Quenneville said. "That consistency of what he brings day in, day out to our game is what makes him a special player and a valuable addition to our team. I think that all areas we're going to be leaning on him. No matter where we put him, you know he's going to get the job done."
Hossa admitted after Game 4 that he was limited in what he could do, but Quenneville said he still thought Hossa and his linemates, Patrick Sharp and Michal Handzus, were effective and generated offense.
Sharp scored a power-play goal and Handzus scored a shorthanded goal. Sharp, Handzus and Hossa combined for 14 shots on goal.
"I think defensively, too, you know Hossa is always going to be in the right spot and not give up anything on that end of it," Quenneville said. "[We're] very happy to use him. I think everybody has different limitations, but everybody is giving it their all."

i was pretty much blown away by patrick wolf, lindsay anderson and of course sam larson. i didn't stick around for the girls' race, i had to get back to the office, but in the first three races, each of those three had it won EARLY. the race i didn't see sounded like it went down to the wire with the south girl edging funke.
both wolf and anderson are juniors, so another year of dominance should be in store for next year. larson graduates and goes d-1 somewhere (i'm assuming anyway...that kid should definately get his education paid for. he is as legit a d-1 runner as i've ever seen - he got done running the 5k today and at the end basically took a couple of deep breaths and seemed to just shake off any fatigue)
my favorite thing about cross country meets is when the winners are encouraging those they beat at the finish line. cross country has always seemed to be one of the least ego-driven sports and as a casual fan i have always gotten the impression most people don't say 'i won' at the end, they look around and say 'we survived'.

Join CINSSU for a John Hughes classic, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off!"
Teenaged Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) is a legend in his own time thanks to his uncanny skill at cutting classes and getting away with it. Intending to make one last grand duck-out before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, "borrows" a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day bacchanal through the streets of Chicago. Dogging Ferris' trail at every turn is high-school principal Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), determined to catch Bueller in the act of class-cutting. Writer/director John Hughes once again tries to wed satire, slapstick, and social commentary, as Ferris Bueller's Day Off starts like a house afire and goes on to make "serious" points about status-seeking and casual parental cruelties. It brightens up considerably in the last few moments, when Ferris' tattletale sister (Jennifer Grey) decides to align herself with her merry prankster sibling.

The new service, which is also available for flights on Dragonair's sister airline Cathay Pacific out of Hong Kong, is designed to supplement the online check-in service and give passengers more control over their own journeys. It also provides environmental benefits by eliminating the need to print paper boarding passes.
Passengers travelling without an onward connection to other destinations can check in online at the Dragonair website and choose to receive a mobile boarding pass on their mobile devices sent via SMS or email.
After dropping off any baggage at the self check-in bag drop counter at the Hong Kong International Airport, passengers can proceed to the aircraft by scanning the mobile boarding pass on their mobile device at the respective checkpoints at security, immigration and the boarding gate. Passengers eligible to use the airline's lounge will also see a lounge pass displayed on the mobile boarding pass which can be shown to the lounge reception staff.

Finding SRM tools
How can I figure out what the best storage resource management tools are for my environment?
The only real way to figure out what the best SRM tools are for your environment is to detail your company's requirements for your current environment and set priorities for each area today as well as for the future.
I strongly suggest using a spreadsheet program to track the requirements using the following column headings as a guide:
If time and resources are available, you may want to install and test each product in your environment versus having the vendor respond via a request for information (RFI).
You might also want to look at the integration of the SRM solution into the rest of the storage management stack within the environment based on applications, volume management, file systems, host information, and storage device support. Remember, don't just look at the company's requirements today, but look at the future also and how closely the offering and the company map to your company's operating principles and technology ecosystem.
If we look back in time at the framework wars of the 1980's and early 1990's, we see that the frameworks were loaded with features, but the enterprise users never detailed their goals using a framework. As a result, they didn't have a way to know which pieces to install and how to manage their shops to begin with. Most IT managers thought that frameworks were a magic pill that would solve all of their ills. In reality the frameworks only made things harder to understand and required large consulting contracts to implement even the most simple management solution, such as a single event console. Since then the frameworks have unbundled their solutions and delivered many of their solutions as point products. This trend may also be seen in future SRM products as companies look to differentiate themselves with smaller point products that satisfy very specific needs versus providing large, resource intensive products that are akin to frameworks for storage management.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
73-Year-Old Denied Position Because of Age, Federal Agency Charged
COLUMBIA, S.C. – A disability services provider will pay $80,000 and furnish other relief to settle an age discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The EEOC had charged that CHESCO Services, formerly known as Chesterfield County Board of Disabilities and Special Needs, unlawfully refused to hire a 73-year-old man for a position because of his age.
CHESCO Services, a non-profit organization that is approved by the South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs (DDSN) to provide services to DDSN consumers, provides services to people in Chesterfield, Marlboro, Kershaw, Richland, and Darlington counties.
According to the EEOC's complaint, when CHESCO Services assumed operation of a residential care facility where Larry O. Knight was employed in early 2007, it consolidated Knight's position with that of a position held by a 43-year-old co-worker. The EEOC said that although Knight was well qualified for the newly formed position, CHESCO Services rejected him in favor of the less qualified 43-year old co-worker. Knight was age 73 at the time.
Such alleged conduct violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement.
In addition to monetary damages of $80,000 for Knight, the 30-month consent decree resolving the case (EEOC v. CHESCO Services f/k/a Chesterfield County Board of Disabilities and Special Needs, Civil Action No. 3:09cv00181, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina) includes injunctive relief enjoining the company from engaging in further age discrimination or retaliation against those who complain about it; requires the posting of a notice about the settlement; and requires the company to report information about its hiring practices to the EEOC for monitoring.
"We are pleased that EEOC was able to resolve this case of age discrimination," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District Office which includes a portion of South Carolina. "Too often age bias is a motivating factor in hiring decisions, and employers simply write off older applicants. This case reminds employers that all people, regardless of age, deserve fairness and freedom from discrimination in the workplace. The EEOC will vigorously pursue claims of age discrimination."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
The South Carolina Human Affairs Commission (SCHAC) originally investigated Knight's charge. The SCHAC works with the EEOC in investigating charges of employment discrimination. These charges raise claims under South Carolina law as well as federal laws enforced by the EEOC. Further information about SCHAC is available on its web site at www.state.sc.us/schac.

David Malone raised some interesting points in his Golem XIV blog last Friday: David learned his craft as a documentary maker at the BBC science department, where he worked for 9 years, ending up on Horizon. Since then he has made films for Channel 4, BBC2 and more recently BBC4. Some of his documentaries are available on YouTube.
Jonathan Sugarman versus UniCredit – an update
Jonathan Sugarman versus UniCredit – an update
by Golem XIV on NOVEMBER 16, 2012 in LATEST
WhistleblowerIRL, AKA Jonathan Sugarman continues to fight UniCredit. One rather impecunious man fighting a trillion euro bank. But Jonathan is nothing if not …well I leave you to fill in the blank.
The update comes via a very good 12th Nov. editorial in Village Magazine in Ireland, "Blowing the whistle so hard it hurts".
"In December 2010 a risk-manager in the Irish unit of UniCredit, Italy's largest bank, described in Village how in 2007 the Financial Regulator failed to intervene after he first alleged he falsified liquidity-ratio figures. The risk-manager maintained he was specifically warned by senior personnel at the Irish subsidiary not to report the matter to the Financial Regulator
Jonathan Sugarman blew the whistle on the massive repeated breaches. This magazine received aggressive threats from McCann FitzGerald solicitors on behalf of UniCredit not to publish the information."
To the credit of its publisher and owner, Michael Smith, the magazine has stood by the story and refused to be cowed. I recommend reading the whole story. You can follow any further developments at Jonathan's blog.
One thing to keep in mind when you read the story. The Irish financial regulator, Matthew Elderfield, was recruited, fresh from his earlier success at being one of the three Heads of Department at the British regulator, the FSA who were overseeing…Northern Rock. Mr Elderfield, along with his two fellow Heads of Department, was specifically criticised in the official report into Northern Rock. His supporters, namely the people in Ireland who hired him, will say he was only in that job three months when Northern Rock imploded. What, and that makes his silence all right?! So if an aircraft inspector had only been at his job for three months it would be fine for him to say nothing about an unsafe aircraft? That would be OK would it?
That would be a double standard if one could call it any sort of standard at all.
So I have my doubts about Mr Elderfield. Which are made worse when you consider some of the people above him and the world view they seem to have. You see there is an old guard In Ireland – as there is in most countries, mine definitely included – that has not moved on and has zero intention of ever moving on. Here for example you can watch Mr Bertie Ahern back in 2007 saying how he can't understand why people who talk down the wonders of Ireland's no-touch economy don't just kill themselves. Mr Ahern was never Elderfield's boss. I mention Ahern simply as an example of a world-view which is still there, defended by people still in positions of power.
One such old guard is Mr Elderfield's boss, Dr Brian Hillery. Dr Hillery was appointed to be a Director of the Central Bank of Ireland which incorporates the Financial Regulators Office of Ireland, in May 2008. Before his appointment to be guardian of financial probity in Dublin, he was the Chairman of …UniCredit Bank Ireland at the precise time Mr Sugarman was there trying to report those financial 'problems' to the financial regulator (who at the time was Mr Elderfields disgeraced predecessor, Mr Patrick Neary). So definitely no conflict of interests there. Obviously.
I feel absolutely sure that Dr Hillery would be very comfortable with, and would fully support, a rigorous investigation of UniCredits' behaviour and its attention to the law, and that the pressure brought to bear upon Village magazine when it chose to write about Unicredit and its breaches of liquidity are purely coincidental. I feel equally sure Mr Elderfield would feel fully supported in any investigation he undertook , which combined with his own proven track record of razor sharp and iron fisted regulatory zeal must make the Irish people feel warm all over. In good hands – as the priest/radio one DJ said to the boy.
Oh and it might be worth keeping in mind that Dr Hillery was also Chairman of Independent Newspapers in Ireland. Whose papers have not covered this story with any great … regularity shall we say.
A reader's Comment:
C. Flower November 17, 2012 at 11:51 am #
Great post, and also choice comments from the Dork from Cork. Jonathan Sugarman thought his job was risk management, when in reality it seems his employers wanted him to be rubber stamping illegal breaches of liquidity. Bank bosses knew their banks had gone over a cliff and the whole strategy was to buy time to consolidate their personal wealth and pass debt over to the public. The role of insiders like Hillery in this is essential – in part in that they give an aura of probity, respectability, and officialdom (Hillery being the son of a past President of Ireland) to a rogue operation – and also in that they tie "officialdom" and the political class into a backstream of financial benefits. Hillery is discussed further here –
