Here's a first go at specifics for my 'Ale & Wenches' rule from my Cinder house rules. I'm not entirely satisfied with these rules, but I can't quite put my finger on the problem.
Under my draft Labyrinth Lord house rules players can opt to earn some extra XPs by carousing. At the beginning of a session if a PC is hanging around Ye Olde Village Inne with nothing better to do, they can roll 1d6 and spend 100gp times the roll on liquor and/or lechery. The character gains experience equal to the gold spent. The d6 x 100 standard applies to villages only. A PC could travel to a town or city and debauch much more efficiently. Towns are worth d8 x 150 gp/xp and cities d10 x 200. The city of Hautville is worth d12 x 250 owing to its extreme wickedness. Carousing occurs at the beginning of a session and normally only characters that ended their last adventure in a town or city can take advantage of the bigger dice and higher standard of living sinfully. Thieves who are members of the local guild can spend 50gp more per pip if they so desire, while their friends can spend 25gp extra. Being mobbed up gets you first crack at the really good lotus powder, etc.
If the die roll is equal to or less than the character's level, the result is a rousing good time and no harm done. Rolling above the character's level indicates things got out of hand one way or another and the poor sucker must roll d20 and consult the chart below. If a character cannot afford the carousing they have rolled, they also must consult the chart and they only gain XP equal to half their money (though all the money is spent). Fellow PCs can chip in to cover a character's bar tab, but henchmen only do so to avoid the imprisonment of the PC and then only if a loyalty check is successful.
[Update: I know use a straight save vs. poison to avoid mishap. Also I let people borrow to carouse as normal, but any money spent this way is owed to some local organized crime figure.]
Carousing Mishaps
1) Make a fool of yourself in public. Gain no XP. Roll Charisma check or gain reputation in this town as a drunken lout.
2) Involved in random brawl. Roll Strength check or start adventure d3 hit points short.
3) Minor misunderstanding with local authorities. Roll Charisma check. Success indicates a fine of 2d6 x 25gp. Failure or (inability to pay fine) indicates d6 days in the pokey.
4) Romantic entanglement. Roll Wisdom check to avoid nuptials. Otherwise 1-3 scorned lover, 4-6 angered parents.
5) Gambling losses. Roll the dice as if you caroused again to see how much you lose. (No additional XP for the second carousing roll.)
6) Gain local reputation as the life of a party. Unless a Charisma check is failed, all future carousing in this burg costs double due to barflies and other parasites.
7) Insult local person of rank. A successful Charisma check indicates the personage is amenable to some sort of apology and reparations.
8) You couldn't really see the rash in the candlelight. Roll Constitution check to avoid venereal disease.
9) New tattoo. 1-3 it's actually pretty cool 4 it's lame 5 it could have been badass, but something is goofed up or misspelled 6 it says something insulting, crude or stupid in an unknown language.
10) Beaten and robbed. Lose all your personal effects and reduced to half hit points.
11) Gambling binge. Lose all your gold, gems, jewelry. Roll Wisdom check for each magic item in your possession. Failure indicates it's gone.
12) Hangover from hell. First day of adventuring is at -2 to-hit and saves. Casters must roll Int check with each spell to avoid mishap.
13) Target of lewd advances turns out to be a witch. Save versus polymorph or you're literally a swine.
14) One of us! One of us! You're not sure how it happened, but you've been initiated into some sort of secret society or weird cult. Did you really make out with an emu of was that just the drugs? Roll Int check to remember the signs and passes.
15) Invest all your spare cash (50% chance all gems and jewelry, too) in some smooth-tongued merchant's scheme. 1-4 it's bogus 5 it's bogus and Johnny Law thinks you're in on it 6 actual money making opportunity returns d% profits in 3d4 months.
16) Wake up stark naked in a random local temple. 1-3 the clerics are majorly pissed off 4-6 they smile and thank you for stopping by.
17) Major misunderstanding with local authorities. Imprisoned until fines and bribes totaling d6 x 1,000gp paid. All weapons, armor, and magic items confiscated.
18) Despite your best efforts, you fall head over heels for your latest dalliance. 75% chance your beloved is already married.
19) When in a drunken stupor you asked your god(s) to get you out of some stupid mess. Turns out they heard you! Now as repayment for saving your sorry ass, you're under the effects of a quest spell.
20) The roof! The roof! The roof is on fire! Accidentally start a conflagration. Roll d6 twice. 1-2 burn down your favorite inn 3-4 some other den of ill repute is reduced to ash 5-6 a big chunk of town goes up in smoke. 1-2 no one knows it was you 3-4 your fellow carousers know you did it 5 someone else knows, perhaps a blackmailer 6 everybody knows.

FBI thwarts New York Fed bomb plot
A man was arrested Wednesday morning in downtown Manhattan for allegedly attempting to bomb the New York Federal Reserve Bank building, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday.
Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, tried to "detonate what he believed to be a 1,000-pound bomb at the New York Federal Reserve Bank on Liberty Street in lower Manhattan's financial district," according to a release from the office of Loretta Lynch, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
The suspect faces charges of "attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to Al Qaeda."
Kelly Langmesser, a spokeswoman at the FBI's New York office, told POLITICO in a phone call that "the public was never in harm's way."
The Federal Reserve Bank building is located just a few blocks away from Ground Zero, where terrorist attacks took down the World Trade Center buildings on Sept. 11, 2001.
Nafis's arrest was the result of an undercover operation in which he was being monitored by the FBI New York Field Office's Joint Terrorism Task Force. An FBI undercover agent posed as an Al Qaeda facilitator, and gave the suspect 20 bags of purported explosives, which Nafis allegedly used to assemble a bomb.
He "purchased components for the bomb's detonator and conducted surveillance for his attack on multiple occasions in New York City's financial district in lower Manhattan," the release said. "Throughout his interactions with the undercover agent, Nafis repeatedly asserted that the plan was his own and was the reason he had come to the United States."

Watching a 13-point lead dwindle to five with just under a minute left, the Buccaneers made the defensive stops they needed in the final seconds and converted at the foul line to finish with a 79-73 win over Conference USA's Thundering Herd in front of 4,080 blue clad fans. With the win, ETSU improved to 4-3 on the young season, with
"Any time you can beat a Conference USA team it's a good win," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team will now head on a five-game road trip with games at Oklahoma State (Dec. 8) and Syracuse (Dec. 15). "When you play as tough a schedule as we have so far this year, you have to win your home games and defend you home court. We've done that so far. I think we're learning a lot about our team and we know the one thing we can do is score. We just have to learn to defend better."
Indeed, the Bucs once again rolled on the offensive end of the floor, hitting 54 percent of their shots (27-of-50) and committing just 14 turnovers. While the Bucs still were out-rebounded 38-36 and gave up 16 offensive rebounds, ETSU did cut back on its foul issues, actually going to the line 38 times compared to just 18 trips for the Thundering Herd.
The key to victory for the Bucs on this night came with just over nine minutes left, when junior guard Courtney Pigram (

In a tight first half that featured six ties and five lead changes, neither team led by more than four points.

Horn, Georg H. (1620-1670)
Georg H. Horn (1620-1670) was a German historian, professor of history at the University of Leiden in Holland, the author of the book, Historia ecclesiastica et politica (Leipzig, 1677, new revised edition, Frankfurt, 1679), a book of 442 pages dedicated to Karl Ludwig, the Palatine elector. In compressed form it deals with the history of the church from the creation of the world to the 17th century. The author's statements about the Anabaptists, whom he derives from Thomas Müntzer, do not differ from the contemporary and traditional presentation. The book is of no historical importance. What he has to say about the Anabaptists in England is more extensive and is more deserving of consideration, even though he offers little that is new even here.

A new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright about the Church of Scientology will hit the shops on January 17, publisher Alfred A. Knopf announced.
"Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood and the Prison of Belief," will tackle the church's finances among other topics, Knopf said. It is the culmination of three years of research by Wright into the church that counts several Hollywood stars among its followers.
Wright will examine the church's founder, science-fiction novelist L. Ron Hubbard and its relationship with celebrities Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
"Scientology plays an outsize role in the cast of new religions that have arisen in the 20th century," Wright said in a statement.
"I was drawn to write this book by the questions many people have about Scientology," Wright added. "What is it that makes this religion alluring? What do its adherents get out of it? How can rational-seeming people subscribe to beliefs that others find incomprehensible? Why do popular personalities associate themselves with a faith that is likely to create public relations martyrdom?"
A portion of the book was published in The New Yorker magazine in 2010 and was based in part on interviews with "Crash" director Paul Haggis, who recently left the church.
A first printing of 150,000 was ordered, the publisher said.
Wright, 63, won a Pulitzer Prize for his 2006 book "The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11."

I think it's just summer which is time for pretty dresses with low necklines and pretty jewelry that sparkles in the sun. Plus, it's summer and our second income is that of a 9-month teacher's pay schedule, which means my slush fund and petty cash for furniture is too low to even look. So, rings it is!

What's more, in an interview in the upcoming Rides magazine, Hogan brags that he got let off not once, but twice by cops, after going over 100 mph in one of his other cars, a silver Viper, because he's a Hogan, and that he didn't get a ticket on the same trip until he was stopped doing 123 mph in a 50 mph zone. Cops said yesterday that a silver Viper was the other car involved in the accident.
Elsewhere, Hogan boasts about "dusting" a Ferrari, "stomping out" a Lamborghini, and even racing his parents and sister in their rides. He also posed for a snap -- with his beloved Supra, which he called "the god of the import tuners."

World No. 3 Murray, who was the highest ranked player remaining in the draw, squandered a match point before going on to lose to Poland's Jerzy Janowicz.
Murray had been expected to lift the trophy in the French capital after Novak Djokovic's defeat and the withdrawals of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
But he somehow contrived to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory after allowing Janowicz, ranked 69 in the world, to emerge triumphant.
The hard-hitting Pole looked to be heading out of the tournament when Murray served for the match in the second set.
But the Olympic and U.S. Open champion fluffed his lines and from serving for the match at 7-5 5-4 and 40-30, he capitulated in dramatic circumstances to lose the second set 7-6.
The Briton was then swept aside 6-2 in the final set and will now head to the end of season finals in London which begins on Monday.
It is the third consecutive tournament where Murray has lost after holding match points.
Murray was beaten by Canada's Milos Raonic in the last four at the Japan Open in Tokyo after holding two chances to win, while he also went down to Djokovic in Shanghai after failing to convert five opportunities.
"I didn't play a particularly good game and missed a couple of shots that I would have hoped to have made," Murray said on the ATP website.
"He probably gained some confidence from that and started playing better. He played a good tie-break, played aggressive.
"I have to make sure I tighten that up next week, if I get that opportunity in the matches. Make sure I don't let it happen at The O2."
Janowicz, who had already beaten Philipp Kohlschreiber and Marin Cilic before defeating Murray, has enjoyed a stellar year and will now hope to make the semifinals when he faces Janko Tipsarevic -- who clinched the eighth and final place for the season-ending championships.
"In the beginning of this year, I had many changes in my life," Janowicz said.
"I changed the racquet. This racquet which I'm using right now is helping me a lot. Even if I have some weak days, this racquet is actually helping me. So this is one change.
"The second one is, I have a new fitness coach this year, and he's helping me a lot. I'm doing a lot of fitness. When I'm at home I'm actually doing more fitness than tennis.
"So there is this other change. My behavior on the court is also a little bit different. I decided not to give up, whatever the situation is. I'm fighting right now for every single ball."
There was also another shock as home favorite Michael Llodra overcame seventh seed Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina.
Former U.S. Open champion Del Potro, who has already booked his place at next week's end of season finals in London, went down 6-4 6-3 to the 32-year-old left-hander.
Tipsarevic, who played in London last year as an alternate when Murray pulled out with an injury, ensured his second appearance by defeating Juan Monaco 6-3 3-6 6-3.
"The World Tour Finals last year was one of my best experiences ever on the tennis court. "I was always dreaming of playing the World Tour Finals and I'm excited to be back there," the Serbian said.
Elsewhere, the 2005 Paris champion Tomas Berdych overcame big-serving South African Kevin Anderson 1-6 6-3 6-4 to secure his place in the quarterfinals.
Berdych, who will also play in London next week, will now face France's Gilles Simon after his opponent, Japan's Kei Nishikori, withdrew with an injury.
World No. 8 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga guaranteed his place in London after defeating Spain's 11th-ranked Nicolas Almagro 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-3).
"It's really important for me to have qualified," said the Frenchman, who will next face world No. 5 David Ferrer following the Spaniard's three-set win over Stanislas Wawrinka.
"With the big four at the moment, it's not easy to get rewards in tennis, so for me this is one of my rewards. It feels good to be a part of it.
"I have some great memories from last year where I played the final against Roger. It was huge for me, one of the big moments of my career."
Canada's world No. 13 Milos Raonic was dumped out at the third-round stage after going down 6-3 7-6 (7-1) to Djokovic's conqueror, American Sam Querrey -- who will play Llodra in the last eight.

LCF Testing to ISO 12106 and ASTM E606
Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) testing is a growing area of materials testing, driven in particular by increasing demand from the aerospace, automotive and power generation industries. ISO 12106 and ASTM E606 specify the standard practice for strain controlled fatigue testing, used for simulating mechanical loading into the plastic region. This testing is typically carried out at very high temperatures to replicate the service conditions experienced by turbine blades in both gas turbines and jet engines.
Instron has supplied integrated LCF testing systems across the world for many years; if you would like to find out more about what we can offer and the benefits of choosing an Instron solution, please visit our LCF system page here.
A related application area is Thermomechanical Fatigue (TMF) testing where mechanical loading of the test specimen is combined with simultaneous thermal cycling through induction heating and air cooling. To find out more about this highly complex area of materials testing, please visit our TMF systems page here.

The same evening the Boston Bruins captured their first Stanley Cup in almost 30 years, a crestfallen horde of Canucks fans in Vancouver expressed their disappointment by laying waste to their own city. As I think about it now, this makes as much sense as trying to salvage your marriage by banging your wife's sister, or declaring war against an overseas despot and then hunting your neighbors with a crossbow. (It makes even less sense if your wife's sister is hot or if any of your neighbors are jerks.)
Still, since the turmoil didn't occur in or near Chicago—in fact, happened 2, 160 miles from my house—I felt no direct effects of the unrest. Most of my family in Canada is even more distant from Vancouver, so I felt pretty confident my mom wasn't doing the stop-drop-and-roll in a public park.
Here's the funny thing, though: within hours, my voice mailbox started to fill with questions from some of my American friends.
"Sooooo Brian, how about what happened in Van…cou…ver?"
"Oh my God…did you hear what your fellow Canadians did?"As near as I can tell, the thinking behind these calls went something like this:
1. Something newsworthy happened in Canada.
2. The Canadian event was newsworthy enough to receive coverage in the U.S.
3. Brian came from Canada.
4. Brian must therefore have an opinion about what happened in Canada, and
4b. He probably knows some of the parties involved.
This logic baffles me. I haven't lived in Canada since 1998. I've only been to Vancouver once—and, when I visited, nobody threw a Molotov cocktail at me, so I thought the city was gorgeous. I'm a Toronto Maple Leafs fan; when they're out, I don't automatically cheer for another Canadian team (in fact, during the first round of the playoffs, I wanted the Blackhawks to thrash the Canucks). And, in spite of the notion that Canadians are a peaceful sort who (a) always eat their recommended daily allowance in fiber, (b) have daily contact with polar bears, and (c) never utter a harsh word, I'm not surprised when (d) some of my countrymen act like idiots. I've known some. Most often, these few act like idiots because (a) they're idiots, and (b) Canadians love their beer almost as much as hockey. I presume at least some of those idiots live in Vancouver.I responded to the news with the same strong reaction I would have afforded riots in Boston, New York or Tuscaloosa (all of which are closer in distance than Vancouver):
"Huh." This followed by, "Was anyone topless?"Had a neighbor thrown a rock through my window—two days' driving distance from Vancouver, but a hell of a lot closer to my non-rock-resistant skull—my response would have been more immediate:
"Hey, what's with the rock? And where are you going with my flat-screen?"I love both Canada and the U.S., but little that happens there affects me nearly as much as almost everything that happens here. And yet I'm the Canadian ambassador to almost every American I know whenever Canadians do something stupid. Which got me thinking: what if I called these same friends to hold them personally accountable for everything that happens here?
On the same day as the Vancouver riots—June 15—a report revealed that 70 percent of guns in Mexico came from the U.S. I did not phone my friends to see if they could fix me up with an AK-47 to deal with chipmunks under my front porch. If I get desperate enough, I'll buy a cat.
In Wichita, KS, the temperature rose 20 degrees in just 20 minutes, and yet I did not yell at anyone for fucking with my polar ice cap.
In California, Arnold Schwarzenegger's mistress confessed that she and Maria Shriver cried together when the truth about Arnie's love child came out. I spoke of this with no one, because I couldn't give a shit.Sure, I could have placed these calls. After all, they happened in the U.S. and many of my friends are American. But I didn't. As a "nice" Canadian—one of the mostly non-idiotic, non-looting-and-pillaging, I've-never-lived-within-a-thousand-miles-of-Vancouver variety—I don't play that way.

The holiday season is a joyful time of year to celebrate with friends and family. But with the celebrations come lots of party foods at holiday gatherings. If you're trying to eat healthy, lose weight or maintain your weight, those holiday goodies can be awfully tempting.
Here are some simple strategies to avoid overeating and packing on the pounds. By planning ahead and sticking to your resolve, you can follow a healthy diet and still be part of the celebrations.
1. Eat regularly. Holidays are busy, which can disrupt our healthy eating plan. Grabbing meals on the run while shopping or grazing the buffet at social events only encourages you to eat unhealthy or more than usual. If you must skip a meal or eat at an abnormal time, keep healthy snacks nearby, such as oatmeal, almonds, cereal, fruit or string cheese.
2. Get your sleep. Lack of sleep contributes to weight gain and stress. Aim for at least 7 hours of shut eye in order to keep your stress and hormone levels in check.
3. Prep yourself before the party. Don't skip a meal or arrive at a party hungry. No – if you skip breakfast or lunch – you cannot save up those calories to consume later. However, skipping meals can make you cranky, tired and may even cause a headache. Plus, when you are hungry and surrounded by high-calorie foods, it's easy to overeat. Always eat a light, healthy snack, preferably with high fiber, before leaving your house. Fiber helps you feel full, so you might not eat so much at the party. Choose foods like crunchy vegetables, a salad, a piece fruit, or a small bowl of oatmeal. Foods with Fiber will help you stay full longer.
4. Make smart choices at the buffet or dinner table. Being health conscious doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the season and have a little bit of the foods you love.
• Rather than depriving yourself of a certain item, eat small amounts – say, two to three bites – of the foods you can't resist. Try to just have one small cookie, or two chips with dip. Just make sure to fill the majority of your plate with healthy vegetables and fruits, whole grain crackers, cheese and lean meats.
• Eat slowly and chew each bite thoroughly. It takes a few minutes for your brain to realize your stomach is getting full. Put your fork down between bites and sip some water.
• Limit rich, sugary foods. They have a way of making you crave more of the same. If the craving hits you, try a piece of fruit or a small bit of dark chocolate. If that doesn't help, simply take half of a serving of that chocolate or pecan pie you can't resist.
5. Those sneaky beverages. Avoid beverages high in sugar and calories, or at least limit your intake to a single drink. Also, alcohol adds extra unwanted calories and, if too much is consumed it lowers inhibitions and can lead to overeating. Try consuming water with a lemon or lime, or diet/sugar-free beverages. Or have a glass or two of water before you start drinking alcoholic beverages, and have one in between drinks, to slow your alcohol consumption.
6. Remain active. Regular physical activity is even more important during the holiday season. Physical activity reduces stress – which usually comes with the holidays – and gives us more energy. If you know you will indulge a bit, increase your exercise time a bit every day. You'll burn off those holiday indulgences and avoid extra weight gain. Remember, if you increase your exercise, that splurge won't ruin you.
7. Drink lots of water. Adequate water intake keeps your metabolism humming along at a maximum rate and staves off hunger cravings as well. Mild dehydration can mimic hunger. The best way to avoid becoming dehydrated – and that hungry sensation and excess pounds – is to drink plenty of water. Being active increases your water needs, drink at least 100 ounces of water a day.
It's difficult to avoid overeating during the holidays. If you do slip up, don't be too hard on yourself. Just exercise longer the next day and make sure your next meal or snack is a healthy one. By taking a few precautions, you can enjoy the holidays without overdoing it and gaining extra pounds.

I am a design engineer at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS), chapter lead of the North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NAYGN), and a Plymouth resident. I was disappointed to read Governor Patrick's recent comments regarding PNPS considering Pilgrim's environmental and economic benefits and because the governor has been such a strong supporter of clean energy.
I grew up around nuclear power. My father and twin sister are both currently employed at nuclear stations. We see nuclear power as a vital energy source for the future and truly enjoy our work. We believe many in the general public have been exposed to wrong information about the industry. Our opponents have a right to be heard, but also an obligation to be honest, and stick to the facts.
By closing Pilgrim, the commonwealth would stand to lose 680 megawatts of generation, millions of dollars in revenue to the area, community contributions and emergency preparedness funds. Statements promising to fight for plant closure also disregard the 650 dedicated, hardworking and professional individuals employed there, as well as our families and our community. Pilgrim's closure would truly be a loss for Massachusetts.
Pilgrim is a carbon-free power generator, and in 2013 it supplied 97 percent of the Massachusetts' clean-air electricity, avoiding emissions of 1.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, 599 tons of nitrogen oxides and 1,519 tons of sulfur dioxide. If we are going to meet our clean air goals, as well as keep the lights on, we are going to need Pilgrim's power for many years to come.

(NewsUSA) – Whether you're considering the resale value of your home or are simply resigned to doing maintenance projects to keep your house in good condition, your lawn and garden could certainly benefit from some TLC of the home- and lawn-improvement variety this spring.
The exterior of your house commands most first impressions, and even mild winters inflict seasonal damage. If you don't know where to start, a home-improvement project checklist may help. Consider the following lawn- and garden-maintenance tips from home and garden experts at HGTV and MarthaStewart.com:
* Remove piles of dead leaves from the lawn. Not only will your grass grow greener, a clean lawn helps maximize fertilizers and pesticides. Don't make the mistake of fertilizing your grass too early though. April is the general benchmark; any sooner might result in yellow spots and dried-out patches of grass.
* Check gutters for leaks and debris. Loose gutters cause improper drainage, so water can collect in basements and crawl spaces. Downspouts should point away from the foundation of the house and must be clear of all debris.
* Start a roof fund. It's a good rule of thumb to check your roof for rotted, buckled, loose or missing shingles after winter because summer sun will only worsen the damage. Since roof maintenance is so expensive, it's also smart to start a fund before you need it.
* Remove piles of wood or debris stacked near the home. Firewood should be kept far away from the foundation, and stacked 18 inches off the ground. These preventative measures help keep insect pests from exploring your home.
* Don't strain yourself, and stay hydrated. This might be the first time you've done any heavy lifting or spent hours in the sun for months. Remember to drink plenty of fluids, take breaks and stretch your muscles. If you suffer from backaches and muscle strains, keep some relief like Absorbine Jr. (www.absorbinejr.com) on hand. Its herbal ingredients and uncanny ability to ease muscle and back pain make it a must-have for yard work.
* Call a professional to clean your AC unit. Heating and cooling experts recommend an annual servicing since clean coils work more efficiently. When the summer's blazing heat drives you indoors, your family will appreciate having an AC operating at peak levels.

China Movie Channel said in the joint announcement that the deal marks the first time it will work with a western studio to produce a film in China, although other studios such as Walt Disney Co have entered deals with other parties to produce films there to tap the booming Chinese box office. The Chinese box office grew 36 percent to $2.7 billion in 2012, reflecting in part the country's move to open its market to more American movies. It did not lift its annual quota of 20 foreign films, but essentially expanded it through other concessions that pleased Hollywood. For instance, Beijing permitted 14 premium format films, such as IMAX or 3D, to be exempt from the quota, as will the 2D versions of those films. "Transformers 4" is expected to be released in China and in the United States on or about June 27, 2014. The China Movie Channel and Jiaflix in June announced they would launch an online service like Netflix in China this year. The "Transformers" movies are among the most popular films ever released in China. "Transformers 3, Dark of the Moon," released theatrically in 2011, grossed $165 million in China and over $1.1 billion worldwide, the companies said. The hottest-selling Hollywood film in China to date was 2009's "Avatar," which opened in China in the first week of January 2010 and went on to gross $221.9 million, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Envia Systems, a battery startup based in the East Bay city of Newark, made a big splash in early 2012 when it claimed it had achieved a milestone: a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with the highest "energy density" ever recorded. The company had been awarded a $4 million grant from ARPA-E, the innovation arm of the Department of Energy, and General Motors invested in the company with the hopes of licensing the technology.
Now, in an explosive and highly detailed lawsuit, three of Envia's top former executives allege that Sujeet Kumar, the company's co-founder and chief technology officer, created the company using intellectual property that he stole outright from Santa Clara-based NanoeXa, his previous employer.
The 52-page complaint further alleges that when the three executives raised alarms about Kumar's ethical conduct and about how Envia's batteries were performing, Kumar retaliated against them and worked with the company's board of directors to orchestrate the trio's ouster.
A previous lawsuit alleging intellectual property theft filed against Envia by NanoeXa in early 2012 remains in litigation. But the new allegations of stolen intellectual property, if proved to have merit, call into question millions of dollars the company raised from the federal government and private investors. Envia was also awarded a $1 million grant from the California Energy Commission.
"Envia's new battery technology represents exactly the kind of innovations and breakthroughs that ARPA-E is looking for from the American research and development community," said Arun Majumdar, ARPA-E's founding director, in Envia's Feb. 27, 2012, news release announcing the technology. "We hope that this low-cost and high-density battery technology enables widespread adoption of electric vehicles across the country and around the world."
The new lawsuit, filed Nov. 22 in Alameda County Superior Court, was filed by Atul Kapadia, Envia's former CEO; Hari Iyer, the former executive vice president of commercialization; and Rohit Arora, the former vice president of business operations. It alleges that the three former executives, none of whom had experience in the battery industry, joined Envia with the understanding that Kumar had developed revolutionary battery technology that would make mass-market electric vehicles a reality. Kapadia, a former venture capitalist, told this newspaper in an interview earlier this year that he wrote the first $3 million check to help start the company.
"Hari, Rohit and I joined Envia with enthusiasm to help a groundbreaking company deliver affordable clean power to the average American automobile consumer, and poured our efforts into making Envia a success," Kapadia said in a statement released by Harmeet Dhillon, the plaintiffs' attorney. "However, when we raised concerns in the company, we were subjected to retaliation, wrongful termination and defamation. Our lawsuit was filed to obtain justice for what happened to us."
Envia Systems, represented by San Jose attorney Daniel Bergeson, denies that Kumar stole technology or misappropriated trade secrets from NanoeXa and says its lithium-ion battery remains a promising technology.
"The allegations in the complaint are baseless," the company said in a statement. "The evidence will show that the plaintiffs' lawsuit is nothing more than the spurious allegations of three disgruntled former employees."
NanoeXa's CEO, Michael Pak, said that the most recent lawsuit bolsters his company's claim that Kumar stole trade secrets.
"We have more than adequate evidence of Sujeet Kumar's blatant misappropriation of NanoeXa's intellectual property as described in the two complaints," Pak said in an email.
The latest lawsuit alleges that Kumar, before leaving NanoeXa in 2007, downloaded gigabytes of files that contained chemical formulas, cell designs, business plans and test results and used the information to form Envia.
"Kumar used the stolen data to form Envia and falsely represented to the public that he personally had independently developed and produced Envia's revolutionary technology," the complaint alleges.
Things came to a head earlier this year when Envia shipped battery cells to General Motors and GM complained that the cells did not perform as expected, according to the complaint. That ultimately led to GM canceling the deal and the ouster of the three executives. GM did not respond to a request for comment.
According to Envia's website, the company's board of directors consists of Kumar, John Walecka of Redpoint Ventures, Takashi Morishita of Asahi Kasei and Purnesh Seegopaul of Pangaea Ventures. John Lauckner, president of GM Ventures, is listed as a board observer. Majumdar joined Envia's board earlier this year but is not listed on the company's website.
Majumdar, who currently works as vice president of energy at Google (GOOG), released a statement stressing that he joined ARPA-E in October 2009, after Envia Systems had completed the application process for the grant.
"The record clearly shows that I had absolutely no involvement in ARPA-E's decision to award a research and development contract to Envia," he said.

More, more, more. For years, data storage management meant dealing with requests for more space because of more data used by more applications. Storage admins responded by focusing on centralization and consolidation, as the InformationWeek Report "2011 State of Storage" found. That's changed, however.
According to "State of Storage 2012," demand is stabilizing. The January survey of 313 IT professionals found that almost the same amount of storage is under active management as in November 2010. The data growth rate is slowing, as well--76% of respondents reported rates of just 24% or less. Here's a look at what else has changed and what's stayed the same in data storage management, from 2011 to 2012.
Storage Technology Use
After seeing drops in usage from 2009 to 2010, both replication and encryption surged in 2011--replication was listed as being in use at 67% of the 313 organizations surveyed, compared with 57% at 377 organizations in November 2010. Encryption, which was in use by 47% of respondents in 2010, was used by 55% of organizations in 2011.
In last year's report, author Kurt Marko theorized that the maturity of technologies like disk replication made them less intriguing than newer products targeting storage efficiency and virtualized workloads. "State of Storage 2012," however, showed an increase in interest in data protection and availability technologies, perhaps a sign that the attention once devoted to consolidating and centralizing storage is now being turned to ensuring that the data is secure.
Since 2009, replication has ruled the list of storage technologies and features considered when making purchasing decisions; in 2012 it increased slightly to 52% of respondents citing it as "very" important. Encryption jumped as a priority, from 33% in 2010 to 42% in 2012. Neither increase is surprising, given the increase in the use of both technologies in organizations.
Snapshots and disk-to-disk-to-tape backup both dropped 5% from 2010 to 2012, while deduplication tumbled 7%. "This is likely an indication that IT now considers these relatively mature and undifferentiated technologies that are--or should be--standard features of any enterprise-class storage system," wrote Marko in "State of Storage 2012."
The concerns of data storage management professionals stayed pretty much the same from November 2010 to January 2012--data loss and data security, and insufficient storage resources, budgets, disaster recovery plans and management all topped the list again. The strengthened focus on data protection can be seen in the rise in respondents listing data loss and security as important--from 40% in 2010 to 49% in 2011.
"As our survey shows, storage pros understand that data loss isn't an issue only when using outside services," wrote Marko in "State of Storage 2012." "It's now the leading storage concern in general."
HP and EMC still hold the top spots for current or planned vendors for Tier 1 or Tier 2 storage, with just slight dips for both--HP dropped from 64% in the 2010 survey to 62%; EMC from 59% to 55%. The real story was IBM, which vaulted from being listed by 47% of respondents in 2010 to 54% in January. IBM also finished behind just EMC in storage virtualization leadership and backup and archiving, nudging out HP in the latter category.
IBM's growth in backup and archiving contrasts with a decline in the category for EMC, from 60% to 52%. EMC also saw a loss in the deduplication category--while it's still the leading vendor, the gap between it and other companies is narrowing. Why? According to "State of Storage 2012," it's a sign that buyers are paying less attention to data reduction and optimization, perhaps assuming that such features are standard in new storage systems.
Has storage virtualization reached its saturation point? Thirty-eight percent of companies report that they're using it, a 4% increase from 2010. However, fewer are planning new projects (8% in 2012, vs. 12% in 2010); 30% say they're looking into it, just 1% more than 2010. EMC, IBM, HP and NetApp remained the leading vendors in the field.
File virtualization deployment plans held steady, as well, for the most part--13% of respondents already use the technology, and 33% are considering it, a match to 2010.
While interest in storage virtualization has dipped, cloud storage services are finding more takers. Twenty-five percent of respondents plan to implement cloud storage by 2013; and while 43% say they aren't using it, that's an 8% decline from 2010.
"Cloud storage is mature, reliable and particularly well suited for data backup, archival and disaster recovery scenarios, and security doesn't need to be a deal breaker," wrote Marko in "State of Storage 2012." Email and archiving remain popular uses for cloud storage.
In 2010, 22% of respondents used solid-state drives (SSDs) for enterprise storage, with 15% planning to increase the usage. In 2012, 166 of the 311 respondents reported using or evaluating SSDs, with most planning to use them for general databases (61%) or to improve overall server performance (57%). Sixteen percent consider SSDs on disk array an important storage technology; 62% cited it as "somewhat" or "very" important when making purchasing decisions.
So what's next? "2012 is shaping up as a good year to address storage problems that have been allowed to languish," according to Marko in "State of Storage 2012."
And that's just what storage admins appear to be focusing on--while 2011 was full of plans to improve allocation (51%), implement disaster recovery plans (41%) and monitor utilization (39%), 2012 seems to be about assessing and refining usage. Allocation still leads the list of projects, but admins also want to reclaim unused storage (42%) and improve capacity planning (37%).

I do know a pretty princess. You think I am going to say my daughter don't you? Well, she is a girl and she is my princess but if I called her that, or especially "Pretty Princess", she would smack me (tomboy much?). No, my pretty princess is my niece Ashley... she loves all things pink. (You do still like pink right Ashley?) I designed this quilt with her in mind. It is a girl's best friend. You know the 3 Cs? No, not cut, color, and clarity. It is candy, cupcakes and cookies.

From a little idea...............
It wasn't long before the "leaves", made by quilters from coast to coast began arriving. In this article, you can see that Christine is nearly buried under just a small sampling of what arrived at her door. 100s of the bowls were given away to quilters during the 4 day conference, and those who attended the Gala banquet received their leaf bowl filled with all sorts of fabulous quilty treasures.
This was the first time I had created a project for others and I was completely amazed by the response.
Are you a CQA member?...........if so, you will be seeing more from me very soon....ah, but that is another post.

Hi Jill,
I didn't realize you were the creator of the "Leaf Bowls" They were fun to make. I did a half dozen for the event and got some back for volunteering..
I think it was one of the most successful tutorials.
You also designed the logo (Tree) for the CQA Conference here in Ontario.. Congratulations...You are one talented lady..
Yes I belong to CQA and also will be coming to LFG again this year. Look forward to seeing you
Hard to believe summertime is nearly over!

Let me ask you a question. How often do you get minor injuries in the kitchen? Once a month maybe; from an accidental slip of the hand when chopping or a careless grab at a boiling hot handle from the oven. Maybe even twice a month during the festive season.
I admit I am clumsy person in life but I am a major danger to myself when I get into the kitchen. Every time I have used the stove, oven or any kitchen appliance, I seem to come worse off than when I started.
For the past few weeks I have realised that all the boos-boos and scars I have all come from my adventures in the kitchen. Every time I cook something, there always has to be a safe aid kit somewhere just in case. If there was a television show documenting my kitchen activities it should be called Girl verses kitchen appliances. Think I am exaggerating? Maybe a bit but I am definitely getting a new scar every week for baking.
For example, this past year I have acquired a number of new burns on my arms and hands. I think this past week I have burned myself 3 times on the stove. Often it is because I am quite short; every time I need to reach for something on the back to stove tops, my arms grows ever closer to being burned hot fry pans.
It is not just the big appliances that have it out for me, I think my toaster does not like as well. Have you ever been shot at by your toaster? Not just once but 2 twice.
You know how they say a watched kettle never boils, it does not apply to toasters. The only two times I have stood by the toaster, I have been shot at by flying pieces of burning hot toast. I wonder if they have taken battle tips from Greek history?
Hopeful your toaster will not attack you when you need to toast a piece of this focaccia. I know I have posted two bread recipes before this one but unfortunately I have been very stressed. Others go to desserts, my stress relief is bread making and eating. I have been experimenting with beer based baked goods because I have been inspired by a fellow blogger who is known for her beer recipes. She does such creative things and many of them look delicious. While I may not be as creative as her with beer, I saw this recipe for a beer glazed focaccia and I just had to try it.
This is a wonderful aromatic bread because the caramelised beer glaze; along with the olive oil it provides a crust which contrast against the chewy tight crumb. For the herbs you can use whatever you fancy but I have been looking for an excuse to use my bottles of infused olive oils (lemon chili in this case) and paired it with Thai basil. To compliment these Asian flavours I used Tiger beer here, I find that you need stronger beers against robust flavours. Toasted or eaten the day it is made is the best way to serve with bread but it also freezes very well and makes great croutons.
Beer glazed Thai basil Focaccia
Adapted from this beer glazed bread and the Focaccia recipe from thekitchn.com
One Focaccia about 27x19cm
300g bread flour
5g yeast
175ml warm water
5g salt
60g Chili lemon infused Extra virgin Olive oil
120ml normal olive oil
1 bunch of Thai basil, chopped
1 medium chili, the large ones which are not as hot, scrapped and chopped
2 tsp cracked pink salt
1 tsp cracked pepper
150ml beer
Combine your yeast and water in a jug, Stir to dissolve and leave for 20 minutes to get foamy.
In a large bowl combine your flour, salt, yeast mix and flavoured oil. Knead until you get a smooth ball but still slightly tacky. Coat with oil and place in clean bowl.
Cover bowl with cling film and leave to rest and proof 1-2 hours.
Pre heat oven to 250c and place your pizza stone in the oven. Line a flat baking tray with grease proof paper, oil generously with unflavoured oil.
Prepare your beer glaze. In a frying pan, fry off your basil and chili in 30ml of olive oil. Add your beer and leave to reduce until most of liquid is gone.
Punch down dough and place in your dough in prepared tin, stench it out as much as possible. Cover with a damp towel and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
With your hands spread the beer glaze then poke dents in your bread, pushing the herbs into the dents. Coat with remaining olive oil and sprinkle your salt and pepper.
Place in oven and turn it down to 190c. Bake for 20 minutes. It may come out darker because of the glaze.
Remove from pan straight away to cooling rack. Leave for 10 minutes.

Marshalls Creek District Judge Brian Germano will decide at a future date if a Middle Smithfield Township veterinarian is guilty on all, any or none of the animal cruelty citations regarding dogs seized from the vet.
Clair "Doc PAWSitive" Thompson, owner of Pocono Animal Wellness Services on Route 209, faces 13 animal cruelty citations for 10 dogs the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals took from his care in March 2012. Thompson faces two citations each on three of the dogs.
A total of 10 summary trials on the citations were held on three different dates in April and May and June 28, when testimony concluded. Germano is now reviewing all evidence and testimony and will issue a decision at a future date.
After receiving a March 2012 complaint about one of Thompson's dogs fatally mauling another, SPCA Officer Liz Anderson visited PAWS, interviewed Thompson and saw his 10 dogs' conditions.
The dogs had been found abandoned and brought to Thompson. Some of the dogs were so aggressive, with behavior problems so severe, that no one else wanted them.
Thompson said he had been working with these unwanted dogs, as opposed to euthanizing or sending them to a pound to be put down.
Anderson said she saw injuries and signs of neglect and/or emaciation on the dogs. She said the more and less aggressive dogs had all been kept together in tight, cramped spaces with almost no sustenance or bathroom breaks.
She returned a week after her first visit and, seeing no significant improvements in any of the dogs' conditions or Thompson's care, took them into SPCA custody. Two later had to be euthanized, several others have been placed in foster care and the remaining are still at the SPCA's Philadelphia shelter, she said.
"It's appalling that the SPCA, an advocacy group, has the power to seize someone's animals, which are that person's property, simply because they feel the owner isn't giving good-enough care to those animals," defense attorney Jeff Conrad said. "What makes the SPCA so superior to a trained veterinarian?
"While the level of care Dr. Thompson was giving the dogs may not have been up to SPCA standards, it certainly didn't sink to the level of wantonness or cruelty the SPCA alleges," Conrad said. "If they viewed Dr. Thompson's care for his dogs as not good enough, then why didn't they simply advise and give him more time, say a month, to make improvements? Why did they take the dogs so quickly?"
Anderson said, "We're not telling Dr. Thompson or any other animal owner what to do. We simply look out for the safety of animals when their owners aren't doing so."
William Gould, who once helped Thompson care for the dogs, testified to seeing Thompson punch one dog and kick another, and being instructed to hit the dogs with metal chairs to break up dogfights. While none of this is accepted veterinary practice, according to veterinarians Michael Moyer of Bensalem, Karen Overall of Glen Mills and Joellen Bruinooge of Ithaca, N.Y., Conrad said Gould has an ax to grind.
Thompson said some dogs are so aggressive they "only understand correction," which may seem like cruelty to some people. He at one point said he can't say he's never hit a dog, and at another point admitted the dogs probably wouldn't have been injured had they been kept separate.
Thompson said letting his dogs fight is not wanton disregard for their safety, but his way of letting them work out their aggressive tendencies and reconcile. He said he was devastated when one fatally mauled another, adding that it was an isolated incident.

From the Desk of John Hanson, Senior Vice President of Communications at the USO:
"First, a statement for the record – or at least that part of the record that includes social media. The president's announcement that the last combat troops would leave Iraq in August could not have come soon enough. No one wants troops home more than my colleagues and I do. We've got friends who have served there, and who have been injured there. And, who have died there. Every day someone here sees what war does to the warriors.
But, there should also be a reminder that tens of thousands of troops will still be in the region – not to mention Afghanistan. Please don't forget that troops around the world are serving around the world – away from friends and families. They're missing birthdays and anniversaries and the births of children. Many aren't in combat, but they're just as likely to be in lonely isolated places, defending us. Their service counts and it's important. My father is a World War II veteran who never got closer to overseas than San Francisco. I'm counted as a Vietnam veteran, but I repaired aircraft in Guam and Thailand. I am as proud of my service as my father was of his.
On February 4, the USO will enter the last year of its 7th decade (just a few months before I enter the first year of mine. But, this isn't about me. At least not ALL about me). The USO's focus from the beginning was on the simple notion of providing morale services for members of the U.S. military. We do that well, by the way.
Over the years, we've seen waves of support during times of war, and just the opposite in times of peace. Our challenge is to ensure that we continue to support troops around the world every day of every year – in times of war or peace.
The current conflicts this country is engaged in are complicated. My guess is that we will be involved in one way or another for the foreseeable future. As a veteran of our last long war, I've seen how the public's patience can cause it to focus its discontent on troops, rather than the government. So far, that hasn't happened. Regardless of how people view our foreign policy, support for the troops and for the USO remains strong. Maybe it's because my generation realizes how we lost focus more than a generation ago. I hope so.
[caption id="attachment_914" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Wayne Newton entertains Troops on the first USO Celebrity Entertainment Tour in Afghanistan, December 2001."][/caption]
One more thing. Earlier this week, I saw a brief mention of an attack at the US base at Camp Phoenix, near Kabul, Afghanistan. I paid attention because I've been there a few times. The 5-minute drive from Kabul to Phoenix is an exercise in breath holding. The distance is short, but the atmosphere is extremely tense. I hate to talk about being worried, because when we're there it's only for a few days. Our troops do this day in and day out for months at a time.
The report underscored what we already know. The U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan are facing difficulties we can hardly imagine. We can't forget their service and their sacrifice – or that of their families."
You can help our heroes with the little things that will mean so much this year like a phone call home, comfort foods or a place to relax.

I'm just back from the ISC'10 Tutorial Sessions. Getting to and from Hamburg in one day from Düsseldorf is a pretty harsh thing you could do. First, the A1 was basically just a concatenation of construction sites, making it quite a hassle to get there. Means, I got there just on time.
We arrived at the registration desk at 13:20 sharp – Tutorial would start at 13:30. Registration was smooth. Give yer name and company, grab badge, WiFi-details, a map how to get from the CCH to the University and a schedule for all the tutorials.
First thing we didn't like: The schedule was divided in tracks – there was a CUDA-track, an Infiniband-track, and so on. A lot of lectures in every individual track, but no timeline, when the individual talks should start! It was hard to decide what to do first.
We grabbed our stuff and had a really short walk of probably 5 minutes to the venue. The building was a typical: A huge 1900's building, huge, massive, a lot of stairs – but eventually we got into the lecture room B, where we wanted to hear the CUDA tutorial.
Unfortunately, the CUDA talk wasn't anything new. I really think that the slides of this tutorial were actually used in a NVIDIA webinar about CUDA I attended last year! It was a real Deja Vu, and I think they just changed the date on that slides. Gernot Ziegler started up with the tutorial – I thought this would be "big time", cause we'd get the opportunity to hear someone who's really into CUDA – he's with NVIDIA after all. Anyway, he passed over the tutorial to John Stratton, who did quite a decent job, but he was pretty unlucky for he had to reiterate that presentation I already enjoyed last year in the webinar.
Ah, what a wasted opportunity. See, I'd expect more from the ISC when it comes to CUDA than reciting what was told earlier on less specific channels!
My colleague and me stuck to the talk until the long break – some cool things were said about how to abuse the texture-buffer in a clever way to to really local multidimensional computations, but unfortunately it wasn't elaborated enough. For my taste.
After the long break we decided to hit the Infiniband-talk. Since we deploy large installations we thought that this gives us some insight about how to deploy Infiniband and how to make up migration-concepts of how to get from Ethernet to Infiniband. Sadly, the talk was just a roundup of the available vendors, their products and performance comparison. That's not really what we expected, we could've just looked that data up elsewhere. While the talk was still going on (I think we were on slide 78 of 145) I decided to check the proceedings and see what this talk would be offering in the next hours. Unfortunately it was about to continue like that.
That was the time when we left the hall and went for the "Hybrid MPI & OpenMP Parallel Programming" lecture.
And wow, that was awesome. We got there pretty late, it must've been 16:30, but we were basically stunned by the ideas. Basically MPI and OpenMP both have their advantages and flaws. I certainly thought about combining both technologies, but never did for lazy personal reasons. And then those guys just did it: Awesome. In general, if we got out cluster of SMP-systems with multiple sockets and multiple cores we should be running MPI on the outer computing domain, and OpenMPI on socket- or core-layer. This ain't not new, but they gave me some insight about why you should do it and what pitfalls my arise.
In the end, I thought I should have sticked to the last tutorial in the first place. Coming back to my first complaint, there wasn't a real schedule, which is sad. We couldn't decide to go to which tutorial first since we had no idea when all those lectures were taking place. If the ISC continues to give those tutorials, they should improve their schedule.
Then again, since my collegue and me were both attending the CUDA-talk, we already elaborated on the spot how we could use CUDA in our usecases. We just got rough ideas, but sitting together, listening to that talk wasn't just a waste of time.
It brought us together.
Now I'm back at home and don't feel too bad about the ISC lectures – Now I feel sad that I'm not able to attend the rest of the ISC. But I got to work on Monday. Which is in… omg, in about 8 hours.
Good night! I'll be putting links to this posting tomorrow evening.

Smooth sailing for the past little while Have never paid any attention to baby's frenulum except to have several people check her for a tongue-tie after birth (she didn't have one).
In the past few days, when baby cries and I can see under her tongue, it's like there's this huge whitish lump all around the frenulum. I'm wondering what it could be and if it's hurting her. It's really quite large, maybe the size of a kidney bean but not so long.
Any insight? I've never heard of a ... um ... frenulum infection?!
Thanks in advance

Product manufactured exclusively for this store, according to our tastes, using the most traditional fish of Portugal.
Ingredients: Cephalopod, soybean oil, concentrate tomato, water, onion, garlic, spices and salt
120 g
- Store Information
A Vida Portuguesa was born from an investigation of the then journalist Catarina Portas into old Portuguese products: those that had been around for decades, that have kept their original packaging and that are still made involving an important dose of manufacture.In November 2004, these products were gathered in boxes according to different themes and the brand Uma Casa Portuguesa was launched. Later, in May 2007, the brand was reborn as A Vida Portuguesa in the Chiado neighbourhood, Lisbon.Considered by the local Time Out magazine one of the 10 most original shops of the Portuguese capital, it goes on surprising and enchanting its visitors. In November 2009 we have opened a second shop in the Clérigos neighbourhood, Porto, that featured in the 2010 Retail Directory of Wallpaper magazine. In 2009 we have also launched the online shop, making our products available to the world, in partnership with Feitoria. And, in the meantime, we have also done resale of our exclusive products to other shops in Portugal and abroad.From the beginning, we have established partnerships with several old Portuguese brands, in order to develop exclusive AVP products: soaps with Ach. Brito and Confiança, swallows with Bordalo Pinheiro, pencils with Viarco, ceramics with Secla, notepads with Serrote, notebooks with Emílio Braga. This is our most interesting and ambitious initiative: it involves research, creation, development and promotion of good quality brands and touching products; the praise of Portuguese production.We were born from the belief that there is a future for old Portuguese products. The many shops that, nowadays, throughout the country, draw inspiration from our concept and rediscover the old Portuguese brands proof that we were right. And we are glad, because that was our main goal. But in no other place are the products as many and as beautiful as in A Vida Portuguesa. The only and the original one.

In addition to the $250 prize, the winners will also be featured right here on "The Daily Dish" and we will show off the photo as the banner on the Better Recipes Facebook page. (Hey bloggers, winning this contest is a great way to show off your skills and promote your site!)
2) Reader's Choice – $250 weekly prize, $500 Ultimate Reader's Choice prize
Get your friends and family to vote for your entry each week! (One vote per person per day) Email the link, share a link to your recipe on Facebook, post it on Twitter, "pin" your entry on Pinterest, blog about your entry, or more! Get creative and hopefully walk away a Reader's Choice winner.
Plus, there is a new twist this time around. There will be a two week "vote off" at the end of the contest. The Reader's Choice winners from each week will go head-to-head and an "Ultimate Reader's Choice" prize will be awarded!
-In this new round of weekly contests, individuals can win more than once! In previous contests, once you were named an Editor's Choice winner or Reader's Choice winner you had to wait until the end of the contest to enter and win again. Not anymore! Now you can win up to five prizes throughout the Contest Period. How cool is that? Even if you win, keep those recipes coming in!
-In the weekly contest, a photo of your entry is not required. Although photos are optional, we certainly encourage you to photograph your dish and show it off! Just don't lift a photo from the internet that is not your own. This will disqualify your entry from winning any prize. (We don't judge the quality of your photo, so any snapshot of the dish is totally fine!)
-Remember, votes are not taken into consideration for the Editor's Choice winner. Votes are only counted for the Reader's Choice prizes.
-Bloggers are allowed and encouraged to enter the weekly recipe contests! As long as the entry is an original recipe, it is ok if the recipe has been previously posted on your own blog.
-Curious about past winners? Check out "The Daily Dish" every week for a new winner to be announced. You can also see an archive of winners here: http://www.betterrecipes.com/contests
