A set of Greek recipes hailing from Epirus, straight out of the latest Saveur magazine. The pasta dish is packed with bite size pieces of sausage and tossed with a white sauce made of wine and heavy cream. It's seasoned with lots of fresh oregano and typically blue cheese, which I swapped out for feta.
The feta tart is more like a flat bread, thin, soft and crispy around the edges with dollops of tangy cheese over top. It's ridiculously easy to make and is unlike any flat bread I've had before. The simple egg batter is spread over a hot sheet pan that is swimming with olive oil then the cheese is dropped over top along with dots of butter. I seriously thought I was going to wind up with a greasy mess, but all of the butter and oil soaked right in to make the most delicious crust. We didn't even use a knife to cut it! We used our hands to pull off 'rustic' pieces of bread to sop up the lovely sauce in the pasta.
These could not have complimented one another any better. The pasta is creamy and mild flavored while the tart has a sharp bite and a saltiness from the feta. A perfect balance of flavors. The tart took less than ten minutes to get in the oven, aside from the preheating of the pan, and in the time it took for the tart to cook I made the pasta. I had a hearty, heart-warming and satisfying dish on the table in record time!
Greek Pasta with Sausage and Cheese(Macaronia Me Loukanika ke Tiri)
(adapted from Saveur) (serves3-4)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 oz. semi-cured Greek pork sausages
or sweet Italian sausages, cut into 1/2″ pieces
sea or kosher salt, to taste
8 ounces pasta, preferably garganelli or penne (like Barila whole-grain)
1⁄2 cup white wine or chicken broth
1/4 cup blue cheese or feta, crumbled
1⁄2 cup heavy cream
1⁄4 cup loosely packed fresh oregano leaves, chopped or 1 tablespoon dried
1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
fresh black pepper, to taste
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes.
2. Meanwhile cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Strain pasta, reserve 1⁄2 cup pasta water.
3. Add wine to sausages and cook until reduced by one quarter, about 2 minutes. Add the cheese, cream, and oregano and cook until the mixture is thick and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes. Stir in reserved pasta and season with salt. (If sauce seems too thick, stir in some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid.) Transfer pasta to a small platter; garnish with grated cheese and season with black pepper.
Feta Tart (Alevropita)
(adapted from Saveur)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons vodka
1 egg
1 + 1⁄4 cups flour, sifted
1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄8 teaspoon baking powder
10 ounces feta, crumbled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1. Heat oven to 500°. Put an 18″ x 13″ x 1″ rimmed baking sheet into oven for 10 minutes.
2. In a small mixing bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons of the oil, vodka, egg, and 1 cup water in a bowl. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking powder. Pour wet mixture over dry mixture and whisk until smooth.
3. Brush remaining oil over bottom of hot pan and add batter, smoothing it with a rubber spatula to coat the bottom evenly, if necessary. There will be a lot of oil in the pan – it will all soak into the bread. Distribute cheese evenly over batter and dot the top with butter. Bake, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until golden brown and crunchy, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

It's winter time, the weather is dismal so what could I do but SEW ! This week I had so much fun doing scrap blocks. Tipped out my scrap tub onto the kitchen bench and sewed happily away.
This is what I got achieved for the week.
Photo 1 - my usual day sewing, scraps everywhere !
Photo 2 - got all these blocks done for a scrappy quilt, quite a few more to come to make the quilt a decent size
Photo 3 - some scrappy (or rainbow) fishes, will make a cute kids quilt
Photo 4 - 'auditioning' a block which I hope to use to make one of my selvage quilts and I think it will work out fine
I also finished off a couple of swap quilts and managed to get another swap quilt top sewn ready for quilting.
Now I have 3 whole days away from the sewing machine - oh my, I wonder how long before the withdrawal symptoms kick in
Enjoy and thanks for looking

DKNY Spring 2009
Protestors from PETA rushed the runway of the DKNY show during New York Fashion Week.
Two activists from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals interrupted the end of the show, waving signs reading "Donna: Dump Fur." The protest continued outside the venue with demonstrators dressed as animals covered in blood.

30 November 2009|

If you ask pro drifter Kyle Mohan how to get (and keep) a car sideways, his equation will always include rotary somewhere in it. Mazda is the only automaker still pumping out engines that are based on the quirky trochoidal design. With high RPMs and instant-on throttle, Mohan will tell you the twin-rotary powerplant is the key to success.
A resident of Anaheim, CA, Mohan has not only made the Rotary his hobby and passion but also his profession. He is employed at Mazdatrix, one of the leaders in rotary technology in the country and his position there is predictably Engine Builder. Mazdatrix management thought it was a good idea to back Mohan in his foray into Formula D, not only to help their employee, but to build their brand in the process.
"Everyone helped build this car together over a tight four month time period," says Mohan. "My friends, my co-workers, my family and then the corporate help of Mazdatrix and even Mazda USA!"
With that team assembled, it was expected the car would be a top performer. Now that we finally have a close up look at the car, the build quality is definitely there and the power is more than adequate. At the heart of the project is not the Renesis motor you'd expect, but rather the stout 13B twin-rotor. Displacing only 1.3L the rotary components were given a street/drift port at Mazdatrix and machined at KMR. The rotary assembly was milled, balanced and WPC treated for strength before being bolted back up with hardened fasteners. The rotors themselves were fitted with expensive Ianetti 1-piece ceramic seals. To keep the lubrication system on-point a Mazda competition oil pump was added with oil regulators and a GReddy catch can to keep it out of the combustion chamber. The cooling duties are delegated to Mishimoto where an aluminum racing rad and a pair of 14" fans pull air. The oil is cooled with twin Mishimoto oil coolers with Nomex braided lines by Blur industries.
The forced induction system comes in the form of a Turbonetics GTK-550 Drift-Special turbo hanging off a custom stainless manifold manufactured by JSP. The spent gases push on the Turbonetics wastegate eventually ending up in 3-inch Racing Beat exhaust shaped like a rotor. On the cool side, the compressed air heads into custom piping connected to a lay-flat Spearco intercooler. The 105 octane fuel is drawn in with an Aeromotive A1000 pump and managed by an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator. The injectors firing into the rotary consist of 1000cc primaries and 1600cc secondaries.
The ensemble is all orchestrated by a Haltech Platnium Sport 2000 standalone. Well known for the efficiency at perfecting rotaries, the Haltech was installed by Ash and Jason at Blur Industries in Long Beach ,CA, and tuned by Nelson Siverio. When the rubber settled, the numbers did not disappoint. Out of a tiny displacement 13B, the rotary churned out 470whp with 349lb-ft of twist!
The only way to get that kind of power to ground was to rethink the driveline. A Jerico 4-speed box was fitted up to the raging rotary with custom mounts.
A twin-disc Exedy clutch was also added with an integrated Chromoly flywheel to save weight. The clutch spins up a custom Mazdatrix driveshaft with a KAAZ 2-way LSD on the other end.
The attention turned to the suspension (dialed in and tuned by EF1 Motorsports) where JIC Magic was selected to bless the RX-8 with unnatural abilities. JIC fitted the car with a set of FLT-TAR coilovers featuring custom valving and 15-way adjustability. JIC Magic also supplied camber links, toe links and traction bars in addition to strut tower bars. The anti-sway bars are Racing Beat with Mazdatrix adjustable end-links.
The wheel and tire package was only fitting for an unorthodox drift car. Mohan is one of the few drifters sponsored by XXR Racing and Cooper tires. The RX-8 currently runs, XXR_006 wheels, 18x8.5 and 18x9.5-inches wrapped in Cooper 2XS tires, 235/40R18 fronts and 265/40R18 meats to spin. Lurking behind the 2-piece wheels are stock brakes but the car has been fitted with an SSBC bias-adjuster and a custom hydraulic e-brake.
The body and chassis got a make-over by KMR and Mazdatrix too. The entire car was seam welded and a TC Sportline under-brace was added to stiffen the car. The Formula D-spec cage was welded in by Henry Schelley. After the custom bodywork was fitted to the car, it was taken to Signal Hill Autobody where it received some fresh paint. Finally, the graphics were applied by KMR and it certainly looked the part of a pro drift car.
Inside the cockpit, it's all business. KMR fabricated some carbon Kevlar interior panels to lighten the weight of the car which stands at 2,580lbs with Mohan. Sparco Corsa racing seats were added in addition to 6-point cam lock harnesses. A Race Pack IQ3 digital dash and data logger interfaces with the Haltech computer to keep an eye on all the engine functions.
After a slow start to the '09 season, the potential of the car has yet to be realized. We're sure Mohan and his rotary rocket have a few Mazdatrix left up their sleeve. The hardware is certainly there and for Mohan he'll keep pushing the rotary as long as he's alive because it's his thing before, during and after work.

One of a series of six small paintings in an inventory of Goya's collection, Madrid, taken in 1812 for the division of property between the artist and his son Javier following the death of the artist's wife; the group of small paintings marked X8 being allotted to the son: "Seis quadros del Maragato señalados con el número ocho, en 700 [reales]" (the inventory mark has been removed from the painting and is no longer visible) [see Gassier and Wilson 1971]; presumably Javier Goya after 1812. Lafitte collection, Madrid; sale, Paris, Hôtel Drouot, March 7, 1861, bought in together with other paintings from the series for 590 francs [see Hippolyte Mireur, Dictionnaire des ventes (Paris, 1914), vol. 3, p. 360 and Despartment Fitz-Gerald 1928-1950]. Julius Böhler, Munich by 1911; sold to Martin Ryerson (died 1932), Chicago in May 1911 [see purchase receipt dated May 13, 1911]; bequeathed to the Art Institute, 1933.

It is possible that the main title of the report Freeman Sheldon Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Freeman-Sheldon syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by multiple contractures (i.e., restricted movement around two or more body areas) at birth (congenital), abnormalities of the head and face (craniofacial) area, defects of the hands and feet, and skeletal malformations. Craniofacial abnormalities may consist of characteristic facial features that cause the individual to appear to be whistling. These features include an extremely small puckered mouth (microstomia); a "full" forehead appearance; unusually prominent cheeks; and thin, pursed lips. Affected infants may also have an unusually flat middle portion of the face, a high roof of the mouth (palate), an unusually small jaw (micrognathia), an abnormally small tongue (microglossia), and/or a raised, scar-like mark in the shape of an "H" or a "V" extending from the lower lip to the chin. Affected infants often have abnormalities affecting the eyes including widely-spaced deep-set eyes, crossed eyes (strabismus), and/or downslanting eyelid folds (palpebral fissures). Malformations of the hands and feet are also characteristic of Freeman-Sheldon syndrome. Children with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome may also exhibit speech impairment; swallowing and eating difficulties; vomiting; failure to grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive); and/or respiratory problems that may result in life-threatening complications. Freeman-Sheldon syndrome can be inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait. However, most cases occur randomly with no apparent cause (sporadically).

Review: Nemіroff Premіum Lіme Vodka
Posted by Arctic Wolf on May 5, 2011
Nemiroff Premium Lime was introduced to the Nemiroff brand line-up in August of 2006. According to the Nemiroff website, the Premium Lime Vodka undergoes 10 stages of purification and is additionally polished with the specially prepared absorbent. Additionally, real citrus and lime aromas are used in the production of Nemіroff Premіum Lіme. The citrus aroma is the first and the most perceptible note of the new drink, it changes gradually into the central note of lime which brings about a subtle, but pleasant lime aftertaste. As with all of the Nemiroff vodkas, all the ingredients of this new vodka are completely natural.
I was asked to review the Nemiroff Premium Lime by Igor Kashcan, who is the importer of Nemiroff Vodka here in Alberta, Canada. Here is an excerpt from the resulting review:
"…when the Vodka was introduced to my mouth it coated my tongue and my palate with a nice creaminess, but only the flavour of lime was forefront. Lime is a very aggressive flavour, and I suspect that this is why I was not able to detect any other underlying grain flavours…."
You may read the full review here:
Review: Nemіroff Premіum Lіme Vodka
As well, I included a nice recipe which I heartily recommend for the Nemiroff Premium Lime, The De Lurey.
Please enjoy the review and cocktail!

MARION — Coming off one of its most successful regular seasons in school history, the Old Rochester/Fairhaven hockey team couldn't keep its momentum going into the playoffs.
MARION — Coming off one of its most successful regular seasons in school history, the Old Rochester/Fairhaven hockey team couldn't keep its momentum going into the playoffs.
Going up against No. 20 Scituate, the 13th-seeded Bulldogs were outplayed against a more physical team as they suffered a 4-2 loss in the preliminary round of the MIAA South Sectional Div. 3 tournament on Tuesday night at Tabor rink.
"We knew what we were up against in Scituate. They are a team that has won the South Sectional tournament 12 times in the last 20 years," Old Rochester head coach Eric Labonte said. "You draw Scituate, you know you're in for a battle and they play the same style they always have. They run a two-man forecheck and just try to grind you out and they did exactly that today."
The Bulldogs took an early lead when Jeremy Lawton netted a slap-shot goal from about 15 feet out just over a minute into the game. However, that lead was short-lived as Scituate scored less than a minute later before adding another goal right before the end of the period. From there, the two teams traded goals until the visitors put the game away with a power-play goal halfway into the final period to cap the scoring.
WHAT IT MEANS: The Bulldogs (11-8-4) suffered the loss to put an end to their season. With the victory, Scituate (10-8-3) will advance to the first round to take on the No. 4 Middleboro (15-5).
LABONTE: "We are a few years away from being where we need to be and physically we struggled to compete today, but the kids played their hearts out and that's all I can ask for in the end. The season ended for this team the way it should have, and that's by playing their hearts out and unfortunately it just wasn't good enough today. Scituate is a better team and there is no shame in that."
KEY SEQUENCE: With the clock ticking down in the first period, Scituate raced down the rink looking for a late score. Chris Nadeau stopped two shots but the second one deflected out in front of the net and was knocked in by Henry Holmes with just three seconds remaining. It was a goal that gave Scituate a 2-1 lead and early control of the game. "Going in, we thought if we could keep it tied after the first it would give us the belief that we could hang with them so that was a killer goal for us," Labonte said. "We were able to battle back but that made it an uphill battle the rest of the way."
NOTES: Scituate outshot Old Rochester 30-16 as Nadeau recorded 26 saves in net for the Bulldogs. "� Scituate was called for two penalties while Old Rochester was called for three, including a four-minute major in the third period for boarding. "� Each team scored a breakaway goal in the second period. Old Rochester's breakaway was a short-handed goal scored by Zack Mathews which tied the game at two.

When someone is considering upgrading their factory sound system, the first piece most people think to change is the source unit. Maybe it's because it's the component we interface with or see the most, but in actuality, it's probably the component that makes the least difference in sound quality. Nine times out of 10, the most significant improvements come from upgrading your speakers.
The OEM junk that comes in most cars these days simply can't hold a candle to a good set of aftermarket loudspeakers when it comes to sound quality and reliability. This fact is not lost on the folks at Polk Audio, who make several different sizes and types of speakers specifically engineered to replace those lame OEM stockers – or even a set of tired aftermarket speakers.
One of Polk's most popular models is the DXi650 coaxial, which they were kind enough to send us a pair of for evaluation. Here is what we found.
The Polk Audio DXi650 system is as the model number suggests a 6.5-inch coaxial speaker system that is also rated for marine use. Designed as drop-in replacements for your stock 6.5-inch speakers, this system also includes a cleverly designed 6.75-inch adapter ring to also make them drop-ins for European cars such as Audi, BMW and Volkswagen. Other nice details include generously-proportioned foam rubber mounting gaskets, which ensure a good seal to the mounting surface, and a very nicely done removable grill for mounting the speakers in a location other than behind the stock panels. The DXi650's are built around a powder-coated stamped steel basket and with a mounting depth of only two inches. They will fit in virtually any car door.
Using Polk's proprietary Dynamic Balance® technology, which involves the use of laser-equipped electron microscopes to find problem areas and eliminate them, the Polk engineers have equipped the DXi650's with a polymer/Mica composite cone and 0.75-inch silk polymer tweeters with neodymium magnets.
Crossover duties are handled by first order networks for both the tweeter and, a bit surprisingly, also for the midrange. I say surprising simply because most speakers at this price point let the midrange simply roll off via its own mass and inductance, but Polk has gone the extra mile in the interest of performance.
The system uses butyl rubber surrounds and temperature-resistant Nomex spiders for optimized reliability and sound quality. To increase the output of the system, the voice coils are actually three ohms, which increases power delivery without stressing the amplifier. The coils are wound on one-inch diameter, low mass Kapton formers. The wire connections are standard spade terminals and clearly marked for correct polarity.
Regular readers will know I prefer to evaluate the sound of all the car audio gear in my specially-constructed acoustics lab/listening room. After mounting the DXi650's in my baffle and letting them play at a low level overnight to condition them, I begin my listening session with some of my favorite music, as well as some difficult-to-reproduce tracks that I like to use to put good speakers to the test.
With Polk's reputation for excellent sonic performance, I'm not surprised to be greeted with a pleasant and smooth "round" sound. I note the silk tweeter is very polite and does not exhibit any sibilance or brittleness. The lower registers sound very warm and smooth with a very pleasing timbre*. The bottom end is strong and full with good definition and detail; plucked bass strings in Glen Millers "Little Brown Jug" sound full and vibrant. Drums and snare are very articulate, nice and tight and remain well-controlled even at fairly high volume levels. On a few tracks, such as the amazing acoustic guitar in Stanley Myers "Cavatina," I find myself wishing for a little bit more high frequency detail, but overall it's quite good. This track was recorded in a mission at San Juan Capistrano and, if you have not heard it play on a good system you owe it to yourself to track one down and give it a listen.
Overall, the system sounds reasonably accurate and quite impressive considering the modest $199.95 retail price. Don't get me wrong, when I say reasonably accurate, I mean you can very easily tell a Les Paul from a Stratocaster with this system, but a Bosendorfer grand piano from a Yamaha might be more difficult. Or ,as my buddy Allen likes to say, "Sure, you can tell it's a Gibson Precision Bass, but what kind of strings are on it?" In any case, this system will make the OEM stuff sound like tins cans connected by string.
*A note on "timbre" (pronounced TAM-ber) For a few of our readers this word is something you already know well, but for the rest of you, it means our ability to distinguish different sounds, voices or instruments, even when they are playing the same note and at the same amplitude. It's what makes a saxophone sound different than a clarinet or two voices singing in harmony sounding distinct and different.
As I always do, I wait until I have completed all of my listening before actually making any technical measurements on the system. The system measures well and the data obtained concurs with what my ears have observed.
Power Handling 100 watts RMS
Frequency Range 75 – 20,000 Hz
Sensitivity 89 dB / SPL @ 1.0 W (1.73 V)
Nominal Impedance 3 ?
The Polk Dxi650 system will most definitely improve the performance of your OEM system at a very reasonable price. If you are incredibly fussy, a touch of carefully-applied equalization on the top end will provide you with a system that should make you very happy with in your daily driver. It bears repeating that, for a very modest outlay of cash, you can make pretty incredible improvements in your system's clarity and accuracy, not to mention reliability. I encourage you to roll in to your local Polk Audio dealer and give these a listen for yourself. Maybe you'll also be surprised at the performance available at this price.

Con artists posing as U.S. Food and Drug Administration agents are trying to extort money from people who buy medications online and over the telephone, the agency warned on Tuesday.
The FDA, which is charged with protecting consumers, says these fake government officials gather people's personal information from online transactions, questionnaires and consumer lists and then call them demanding fines.
The scammers tell victims that buying drugs over the Internet or telephone is illegal and threaten them with prosecution unless a fine or fee ranging from $100 to $250,000 is paid, the agency said in a statement.
"If you refuse to pay up, the caller threatens to search your properties, arrest or deport you, put you in jail, and even physically harm you," the FDA said.
The problem is being investigated by FDA agents with help from other federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security.
Authorities acknowledge that scams of this kind are hard to trace. The crooks can sound convincing if they're armed with your address, phone number, Social Security number, date of birth, purchase history and credit card account number.
"The best thing they can do is ignore the caller and hang up," said Philip Walsky, special agent in charge at FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations. He stressed that true FDA agents do not call up consumers to demand payment.
The good news for frightened consumers is that no one is known to have been approached in person, so there is little danger of a physical threat. In fact, most of the fraudulent callers are overseas.
Nor is buying drugs online illegal, though the FDA has warned consumers that some websites peddle unsafe medicines and offered advice on how to identify trustworthy Internet pharmacies.

Meal time can become an incredibly frustrating event when you are a parent of a picky eater.
"If you put a vegetable in front of a kid a dozen times, eventually he will eat it!" say well-intentioned friends and relatives, but it can be difficult. Constant concern creeps in: "Is he getting enough nutrients?"
The recommendations on the Food Guide Pyramid only cause more stress. Servings of three veggies and two fruits per day seem impossible when one is a struggle. But, Kate Samela, writer of the book "Give Peas a Chance: The Foolproof Guide To Feeding Your Picky Toddler," is an author and a mother with first-hand experience who advises us to relax.
"When I had my second child, she was very cautious as an eater," says this West Hartford mom, also a pediatric registered dietitian at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. "I was really interested in putting to test all the things I doled out so regularly as advice to families, and it was much harder than I thought and it made me do better."
Her book contains user-friendly information for busy parents trying to feed their kids well and avoid a battle of wills. Samela advises that if we are cooking a new main course that could be risky, such as salmon or chicken Florentine, pair it with something very familiar, which will disarm the skeptical eater.
"Even if it's applesauce in a container that they know, or, people think this is hilarious, - I'll even put things like a small bowl of pretzels as a side dish," says Samela, who has a son and daughter, ages 8 and 5.
Samela is not opposed to being sneaky and "hiding" some nutritious ingredients. Go ahead and throw some diced up spinach into tomato sauce, but putting cupfuls of cauliflower in mac and cheese — a la Jessica Seinfeld in "Deceptively Delicious" — is labor intensive and may not work. Instead, think about tasty foods that even the choosiest child will love: "Banana bread, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, in essence you're giving them nutrient dense food without having to hide it."
This author, who will be appearing April 6 at Barnes and Noble in Blueback Square, also believes parents have a misconception about how much food a small child actually needs to thrive: "Put a couple of meatballs on toothpicks, put some veggie plates out. That's a meal. It doesn't have to be covered in pasta."
In her book, she interprets those Food Guide Pyramids for parents and explains how big an actual serving is.
Samela sees a trend of parents trying to get back to homemade meals. In her own home, she would rather ditch the coaxing and enjoy her picky eater's company, as long as she eats something from the table. As with most issues, Samela thinks our kids' food repertoire will change with time: "It doesn't have to be perfect by the time they're 5." Reassuring words for the most worried parent.
To learn more about feeding a picky eater, check out Samela's website (givepeasachanceblogspot.com) and tune into today's Fox CT Morning News.

Truth in journalism – then came the Internet
As difficult as it may be to believe, when people read a newspaper, they can feel reasonably confident that the articles they are reading are at least close to true.
Professional journalists have been verifying and referencing the information they commit to print for centuries. Many editors have managed to stay employed because of their reputations for ripping up copy from reporters who did not attribute reliable sources for their facts.
Important information usually begins with "According to," or "So-and-so said," or "An anonymous official," said that something "allegedly" happened. The idea is to make sure that nobody from the publication is held responsible for the accuracy of the information. The reporter must provide the source.
When people know their name is going to be in the paper, they are hesitant to lie. They are aware that they will be held accountable if their story is proven to be less than credible.
When the media discovers a blatant inaccuracy, particularly from a high-profile civil servant, they are merciless in their retribution. Many a politician has suffered a quick and painful loss of favor with constituents for tainting the truth even slightly.
Most often, it is impossible to completely recover from committing transgressions of this nature. High-profile people who develop reputations for lying to the media are usually out of the spotlight in short order.
Because of this practice, stories like the "Watergate" scandal of the Nixon era are famous to this day. The Washington Post took enormous risks by allowing the reporting team of Woodward and Bernstein to develop a story – from one anonymous source – that accused the White House of indiscretions.
The Post's faith in its reporters resulted in the resignation of an American president. If their handling of the story proved inaccurate, the demise of the paper would have been the outcome.
Back in the days when radio, and later television, expanded the media, the practice of verifying sources of information continued. This kept the industry honest for decades.
Then, in the early 1990s, when personal computers became widely used and browsers were introduced to the Internet, an unregulated global communications frontier was created.
A perfect opportunity to shrink the world and develop networks that can verify or discredit mainstream media became an instant reality. To this day, anyone with a computer can tap resources around the globe that were never before available.
Unregulated, free global communication caused an overnight frenzy. People wanted to get in on the ground floor. Unfortunately, as much corruption as good resulted from this new frontier in communications.
Scam artists, smut peddlers and pranksters seeking their 15 minutes of fame turned the Internet into a virtual wild west. Because it is an unregulated global phenomenon, the nefarious villains of cyberspace operate with impunity.
Legislation was eventually passed to control some of the criminal activity. However, there was so much latitude in the freedoms that the World Wide Web represented that to this day, anything that isn't a blatant infraction of an existing ordinance cannot be challenged.
For instance, it is not against the law to give opinions and spread false rumors on the Internet. Political groups use it all the time to discredit and cause doubt about their opponents. And people believe so many of the deceptive messages that they doubt the mainstream media – especially newspapers.
An example of this is the many rumors that questioned the legalities of President Obama's birth certificate. They were exacerbated on the Internet. Even though Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, produced and verified his birth certificate – and identified the doctor who delivered him – that wasn't enough. The Internet rumors continued.
She even produced records from Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children, the hospital where he was born. She also produced records from both the Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin, two Hawaiian newspapers that announced and documented his birth. Yet the rumors still flourish on the Internet. People swear by them.
Research reveals that the USA employs upwards of 100,000 people in its intelligence community for national security. They recently identified an unknown terrorist who attempted to explode a bomb in Time Square in New York City.
They had him in custody within 57 hours after the incident.
Does anybody really think that they are unqualified to check on the qualifications of the president of the country before he is sworn into office?
Those who don't believe that deserve to live in a system they can't understand.

Museum launches appeal for memories of iconic Cardiff pub
St Fagans: National History Museum, Cardiff CF5 6XB
20 September 2012
Museum launches appeal for memories of iconic Cardiff pub
Curators at St Fagans: National History Museum in Cardiff are appealing for memories, images, videos and objects to help them to learn more about the history of 'The Vulcan Hotel.'
The Vulcan Hotel in Adam Street was one of Cardiff's oldest public houses and following a Compulsory Purchase Order in 2008 it faced demolition. In May 2012 its owners Marcol Asset Management Ltd. donated the building to St Fagans: National History Museum and since then members of the Museum's specialist Historic Buildings Unit have been busy measuring, documenting and dismantling the structure in preparation for its eventual relocation to the open-air attraction on the outskirts of the Welsh capital.
Curators at St Fagans are now appealing for memories, images, videos and objects to help them to learn more about the history of The Vulcan - the building, its customers and occupants.
David Anderson, Director General of Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales said:
"If walls could talk then we could certainly fill volumes with tales from The Vulcan. What we hope to do now is to document some of those stories and bring them to life when we open the pub at St Fagans."
"We would appreciate it if members of the public who have any photographs, documents or stories about the pub or even of life on Adam Street could pass them on to our staff."
During a visit to meet the Museum's Historic Buildings Unit and to examine progress on site, the Welsh Government's Minister for Housing Regeneration and Heritage, Huw Lewis said:
"The Vulcan has long been a part of Cardiff's community life and it's very exciting that we now have the opportunity to save it for the nation and to tell some of the area's rich history. The Welsh Government and the Heritage Lottery Fund have recently announced funding to improve St Fagans and to further develop the museum as a truly world class attraction at the heart of Welsh tourism. The Vulcan will make an important contribution to the improvements at the Museum."
The Vulcan was originally built in 1853 to serve the new, mainly Irish, community in Adamsdown then known as New Town, in Cardiff. During the dismantling process, it became evident that the interior of the pub saw many modifications over its 150 year existence but it seems that the recognisable façade of green and white tiles remains the same since about 1915.
If you think you have objects or stories that might be of interest to the Museum, please contact curators Gerallt Nash or Sioned Hughes by calling 02920 573500 or alternatively by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
People are asked to ring in advance to discuss their object with the Museum before bringing it in. St Fagans can only accept items for donation by appointment and cannot accept them through the post.

Click here to design the interior of your dreams now!
What material are your products made of?
We use velour to manufacture our products which is a very durable yet soft material that feels like velvet. Camouflage and Hawaii print accessories are made from cotton. For the material of each product, please read the product's description.
What does the "Semi-custom Fit" size mean?
The seat covers you see in your local retail store are "universal fit" seat covers. Basically, that means they will fit a wide variety of vehicles. Just not very well, unfortunately. And if your seats have special specifications like armrests attached, seat belt holders, integrated seat belts etc. they will not fit at all. Moreover, if you have side airbags and the seat covers don't have openings in them, the airbags will not deploy in case of an accident! So if you want a fit that is better than the universal size seat covers but without the hefty $250+ price tag for a pair, then the semi-custom fit seat covers are for you. When you provide us your car's year, make and model and any special specifications your seats might have (like side airbags, armrests attached etc.) we will make them fit your seats.
How long will it take to get my order?
The majority of the products purchased from our website must be carefully manufactured after each customer's order. Please allow 7-10 business days for your products to be designed. Your order will then be shipped from California, USA (for US orders) or New South Wales, Australia (for AU orders) and the estimated delivery time is 1-4 business days.
How much does the shipping cost?
For the exact shipping cost of each product or order you can use the "Estimate Shipping" option in the Shopping Cart page after adding your products to the shopping cart.
What payment methods do you accept?

Joe Bonamassa's Gibson Guitars
Joe Bonamassa's Gibson Guitars
"It's one thing to hit a note on a guitar. To make it matter is something else altogether."
Joe Bonamassa's Guitar of the Week
Joe Bonamassa is considered by some to be one of the most successful blues guitarists of the past decade. This LA based guitar geek has released 10 solo albums in the last 12 years, 4 live CDs, 3 live DVDs, and 2 albums with Black Country Communion... with a third album on the way.
Bonamassa admits he's a total guitar nerd, and avid axe collector. He was quoted in 2007 with saying he owned "a couple hundred" guitars. Passion or obsession, who knows. Bonamassa says "Sometimes as a guitar collector you buy guitars from people looking to see it passed to a good home." Well, if you've got the room Joe!
Here are some of the Gibson guitars in this blues rocker's collection that have been talked about or seen being played on stage.
Gibson Flying V (1981)
Bonamassa told Premier Guitar "It's super light and I love it. It's been all around the world with me." He also spoke about the guitar on his message board, saying: "My Flying V is a 1981 A series heritage reissue. I bought it from One Guitars in Hamburg Germany on the European fall tour of 2008. I played it that night at the Fabrik and every night since."
Gibson Bona-Byrd
One of the most unique pieces in Bonamassa's collection would have to be the Bona-Byrd. This one-of-a-kind guitar was built by the Gibson Custom Shop and is essentially a Reverse Firebird neck with a Les Paul body. The guitar features just one humbucking pickup, reminiscent of a Gibson Les Paul Junior.
Get the Bona-Byrd Badass"ness"
Gibson ES-355TD (1972)
Bonamassa stated on his website, "I bought this guitar on EBAY because I wanted a 72 embossed covers ES-355TD in cherry red just like Freddie King played at the Cotton Bowl in Houston in 1974,"
"It's probably the rarest guitar I own next to the Johnny Cash Grammar guitar." See it in action with Baonamassa performing "Three Times a Fool".
Gibson Les Paul Standard (1959)
You'd think that one type of guitar would be enough for a man, but Bonamassa actually owns 4 Sunburst Les Pauls from the late '50s. At least two are '59 Gibson Les Paul Standards. The one closest to his heart is a '59 Les Paul that Joe named "Magellan." He chose the name because the guitar has literally travelled the world with him on tour in 2011. Joe also used "Magellan" during the recording of Black Country Communion's second album 2. The other 1959 Les Paul is nicknamed "Principal Skinner," and Joe calls this one "the flagship of my collection."
Les Paul Standard for just £369
Introducing Joe Bonamassa's Guitar Of The Week. Joe would like to share his guitar collection with you. Each week Joe will be picking a guitar out of his collection to showcase here for the Guitar of the week.

CICERO – Longtime customers returned to Albano's Pizzeria on Friday as the restaurant reopened eight days after beloved owner Giovanni "John" Donancricchia was fatally shot June 20 during an attempted robbery.
Ordering their favorite pizza or beef sandwich might have been a secondary motivation for this particular visit.
"The traditional customers, it could be why they're coming back is they like the food and have their favorites, but it was out of respect for John having served them for so long to come in and express their support," said Bill Fleischer, son-in-law of Donancricchia and his wife Angelia.
Fleischer is not an employee of the pizzeria, but he was working at the restaurant Saturday. He said all members of the Donancricchia family were taking hours at the restaurant outside of their regular jobs to help in this transition period.
That strong sense of family extended beyond the immediate relatives and served as part of the motivation for reopening a week after the tragedy.
"The motivating factor was that it's what Angie wanted, to get the restaurant open for John's sake and the importance of that for him. And it was important to stay open and not be down for a long time, which would ultimately affect the workers and their families," Fleischer said.
Suspect faces charges
A 25-year-old Chicago man has been charged with three counts of murder. Matthew A. Brown-Turner, 25, was also charged with one count of armed robbery.
According to police, Turner walked into Albano's, 5912 W. Roosevelt Road, at about 12:30 a.m. June 20, with a revolver and approached Angelia Donancricchia, wife of the slain owner, who was at the register. The restaurant was closed for the evening.
Giovanni Donancricchia saw Turner enter the business through an open back door and followed him to the counter area where Turner confronted his wife. Donancricchia entered through a swinging door and physically confronted Turner, giving his wife time to escape from the area.ĀDonancricchia followed her out, but then turned to confront Turner again and was shot once in the chest.
Turner then fled the business on footĀsouthbound through the alley, police said.
Police said that same night, a witness came forward and advised that a person said he was involved in the murder and gave detectives the name and address of the offender.
Detectives, tactical officers and patrol officers proceeded to that address where a surveillance was set up. At approximately 2 a.m.,Turner showed up and was taken into custody.ĀDuring subsequent interviews, Turner made statements implicating himself in the attempted robbery and the murder, police said.
Police Superintendent Bernard Harrison said investigators began working feverishly as soon as they arrived at the crime scene, collecting evidence and fingerprints and reviewing video security tapes.
Owner remembered as good boss, hard worker
By all accounts, Giovanni Donancricchia was a stand-up guy; liked by his employees at Albano's Restaurant in Cicero, his customers and those neighbors who did little more than exchange greetings in the early morning when he arrived to work.
On the afternoon of June 20, a handmade, freshly painted memorial bearing his name, was placed at the front door of the restaurant.
Thursday afternoon, people started showing up; some who had already heard about the killing, others confused at the paper signs hastily put up in the windows announcing the restaurant was, "Closed until further notice."
Loyal customers show support as Albano's reopens a week after owner killed

First off, I do not have a horse in this race between the NHL and NHLPA. I say a pox on both of their houses for making fans have to go through another CBA fiasco. In the end, the owners and the players will both be wins with hockey fans being the ultimate losers – either in terms of a lockout or higher prices at arenas.
The NHL's recent counterproposal to the NHLPA's first proposal caused a sensation because the League did not include a salary rollback – like they did following the 2005 Lockout. Way back then, the NHL instituted a 24% salary rollback – something they included in their initial offer to the players as the NHL looked to knock the players' percentage of hockey-related income from 57% to 46%.
I am not going to delve any deeper into the figures being thrown around by the NHL and the NHLPA because I am not a labor negotiator, nor do I play one on television. Besides all of these numbers and contract negotiations are giving me agita.
The one thing I will say is that both Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr are receiving a lot of heat from the media and the fans – rightly so. However, when you take a deeper look at their roles they are merely the pawns of the groups that have hired them.
Like it or not Bettman is the best Commissioner the NHL has ever had. Now before you start coming after me with the torches and pitchforks you have to realize he is also the ONLY Commissioner the NHL has ever had. Prior to Gary leaving basketball for hockey, the NHL's figurehead was known as NHL President as the power was maintained by a select few owners.
When you think about it, nothing has changed in the NHL other than the figurehead's title. The league is still run by a select few owners (e.g. Jeremy Jacobs and Ed Snider) and if you think Bettman isn't taking his marching orders from the hardline owners, well, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Conversely, the players knew what they were doing when they brought in Donald Fehr and his brother Steve. While salary escalation proves otherwise, the players are still smarting from the "beating" they took during the last negotiations and they wanted to make sure they are perceived as the winners this time around.
Fehr is great at deflection so he should be able to use his skills to get the players the "win" they want. If you don't believe that Fehr is good at public relations and deflecting, then how is it Bettman and the NHL gets grief for erasing the 2004/2005 NHL season, but it was Fehr and Major League Baseball that was the first league to wipeout its playoffs back in 1994?
Sadly the NHL's only leverage is to lock the players out – even though the NHLPA would be more than willing to start the 2012/2013 season. The problem is that the leverage then switches to the players with the owners fearing a repeat of 1992 when the players staged a nine-day strike on April 1, 1992.
Enough with the millionaires and billionaires, let's get back to the NHL's latest proposal.
According to Kevin Allen of USA Today, here is how the NHL's salary cap would look under the owner's newest proposal: "The NHL proposal calls for a fixed salary cap of $58 million next season and then caps of $60 million and $62 million. Under the plan, the league projected a fourth-year salary cap of $64.2 million, a fifth year at $67.6 million and the final season's cap of $71.1 million."
The one point that does need to be looked it is how NHL teams would get down to the NHL's proposed $58 million salary cap. CapGeek.com estimates that 16 of the league's 30 teams are already over the salary cap – including the New York Rangers who stand at $58.5 million.
While that might not seem that bad, remember, that figure does not include Michael Del Zotto. The Blueshirts could gain some wiggle room based on the Long Term Injured Reserve status of Marian Gaborik and Michael Sauer.
Amnesty buyouts would not give the Rangers much relief because the above-mentioned cap hit does not include Wade Redden's $6.5 million cap hit. However, it does include Chris Drury's $1.67 million buyout hit.
As a last resort, the Rangers could contemplate buying out a Brian Boyle ($1.7 million), a Taylor Pyatt ($1.55 million) or a Michael Rupp ($1.5 million). However, that does not help much when you look at the cap hits of possible replacements like J.T. Miller ($1.24 million) and Christian Thomas ($900,000).
This where my idea comes into play as a way to help alleviate the salary cap dilemma that would arise should the cap drop down to $58 million neighborhood. It is a simple idea that borrows ideas from the NBA and the NFL.
Gary Bettman's former employer, the NBA, allows teams to go over their salary cap into to re-sign their own free agents – the so-called "Larry Bird Rule". The NFL uses the "franchise" tag to retain unrestricted free agents if certain conditions are met.
I propose that the NHL institute a "franchise tag" that an organization could use on one of its players. That player's salary would NOT count against the team's salary cap. In order to prevent teams from taking advantage of this "loophole" during free agency, the franchise tag could only be applied to a player drafted or solely developed by that team.
For example, the Rangers could place the franchise tag on Henrik Lundqvist and remove his $6.875 million salary from the team's cap hit because he was drafted and developed by the Rangers.
Along the same vein, the Rangers could decide to franchise Dan Girardi because he was developed by the Rangers as an undrafted free agent. A player like Marian Gaborik (signed as a free agent) or Rick Nash (acquired in a trade) would not be eligible for the franchise tag.
Conversely, a team could decide NOT to use the franchise tag if doing so would drop them below the NHL's salary cap floor.
If a franchise player were to be traded or leave as a free agent, the team could designate another eligible player as their franchise player and said player would not be eligible for the franchise tag.
This idea offers teams near the salary cap ceiling a chance to "enjoy" some cap relief while allowing teams some ability to retain their own players. In a weird way it rewards teams for developing their own players rather than relying on free agency and trades.

PDE/API Tools/User Guide
Current State
API tooling is still under construction and currently lives in the PDE incubator project. This guide is intended to be an example of how we intend developers to use API tooling rather than how it is used today. Some form of the tooling will be avilable in Eclipse 3.4, starting with the M5 milestone build.
API tooling bundles (plug-ins) are not avialable as binary downloads. You have to build the plug-ins yourself if you want to use them. See Getting the Source Code for help on getting and building the bundles.
API Tooling Setup
API tooling provides a builder that reports API usage and binary compatibility errors in the workspace. You must configure bundles that you want API tooling to report errors on and you must define an API profile that can be used as an API baseline (i.e. workspace projects are compared to the baseline in order to report binary compatibility errors, missing @since tags, incorrect version numbers, etc.).
Define an API Baseline
An API baseline defines the state you want to compare your development workspace bundles against for the purposes of binary compatibility, bundle version numbers, and @since tags. For example, if you are developing bundles for Eclipse 3.4, you will use Eclipse 3.3 as your baseline.
API profiles are managed on the Plug-in Development > API Profiles preference page. Here you can create, edit, and delete API profiles. You can select one profile as the 'default' profile - this is the profile that will be used as the baseline.
Use the New... button to open a wizard to define a profile. Any Eclipse SDK can be used as a profile simply by giving it a name and version and specifying the root location of the plug-ins.
Note: Currently, Eclipse builds do not contain API description metadata that assists API tooling. This information will be added to builds sometime during the 3.4 development cycle. An SDK can be used as a profile/baseline without the metadata, although this may cause some extra problems to appear in the workspace (for example compatability errors). We also intend to produce special versions of older builds (for example, Eclipse 3.3) that contain some API description metadata in them.
Configure Bundles for API Tooling
API tooling provides a builder that analyzes bundles and reports API errors. You need to configure existing projects to use the builder (this effectively adds the "API Tooling" nature to your project). As well, you need to describe the API of your bundle. Special API Javadoc tags can be placed on classes, interfaces, and methods to describe their API (@noimplement, @noinstantiate, @noextend).
Note: API tooling can insert Javadoc tags into source code based on existing component.xml files.
Using the PDE Tools > API Tooling Setup... action to configure your projects.
A dialog appears allowing you to select projects you want to setup for API tooling.
Note: By default, component.xml files are deleted from your workspace after corresponding Javadoc tags are inserted into source code. There is a checkbox to disable this option.
After pressing finish, Javadoc tags will be inserted and the API Tooling nature (and buidler) will be added to your projects. API problems will now appear in the workspace where appropriate. You should manually examine your source code after tags have been inserted to ensure correctness.
API Problems
Once your projects have been configure for API tooling and an API baseline has been selected, API problems will be created during project builds (auto and full builds).
Adjusting Problem Severities
Similar to the way you can set compiler problem severities (error vs. warning vs. ignore), API tooling provides an API Errors/Warnings preference page that allows you to configure API problem severities.
Filtering Known Problems
Sometimes you will have API problems that are "known problems" or are "approved" API breakages. API tooling will soon have support to allow you to filter these problems from your workspace. Stay tuned.

Ever since Orange County Executive Ed Diana closed the county Government Center in Goshen following the one-two punch of Hurricane Irene and Tropical
Storm Lee, a seemingly endless debate has been waged about whether to renovate the 42-year-old architectural landmark or tear it down and replace it.
Yet, almost a year later, the future of the office complex remains uncertain.
Diana pitched plans for a $75 million replacement in March, but failed to win enough support on the Legislature to move forward, and no alternatives have been proposed.
Debate is likely to resume after Sept. 6, when a special legislative committee is due to issue a report on what it has learned about the Government Center's condition and its renovation prospects.
Democratic Leader Jeff Berkman, the chairman of that panel, said Friday he supports a total overhaul and expansion of the complex and hopes the Legislature will come to a consensus after reading the committee's findings.
"I'm ready to have a conversation with my colleagues on the Legislature about how to proceed," he said.
Others might not be so ready. Earlier this month, lawmakers approved spending up to $75,000 on another building study, this time focusing on the contentious issues of the Government Center's facade and multi-layered roof.
That report could take months to complete, once the county has defined its scope and hired consultants to do the work.
Legislator Leigh Benton, a Republican who supports replacing the Government Center, said Friday he expects the new study to include an examination of the building's construction and design flaws — and that lawmakers should make no decisions until that work is done, which he hopes will be by the end of the year.
"I'm considering this to be the last, final possible study, where I don't think anyone should have any questions from the result of this," said Benton, chairman of the Legislature's Physical Services Committee.
In the meantime, nearly 280 displaced Government Center workers remain in scattered locations, some in other county buildings and others in rented offices in the Village of Goshen. The Emergency Services Center, home to the county's 911 operation, has become the de facto seat of power.
For ordinary citizens, the most noticeable impact of the Government Center's closure probably has been the loss of the Department of Motor Vehicles office it housed.
Most of that business has shifted to Middletown, where the county has one of its three other motor-vehicle offices. Transactions there are up 84 percent from last summer, compared to increases of 32 percent in Port Jervis and 18 percent in the City of Newburgh during that time, County Clerk Donna Benson said.
Customers thwarted by the Government Center's closure also appear to have gravitated to the Internet for license renewals and other motor-vehicle tasks. The county, which keeps 12.5 percent of those transaction costs, projects a $300,000 dip in revenue from 2011 to 2012, Benson said.
The county is considering renting space elsewhere in Goshen to reopen the motor-vehicle office and has three potential sites, but no decision has been made, she added.
One factor weighing on the county as lawmakers continue to debate the Government Center's future is the state's demand for a decision about the court space in the building that is no longer being used.
The county has created two small courtrooms in the attached courthouse as a temporary replacement, but court officials want a long-term solution and have threatened to impose financial sanctions if they don't get one. They later backed off on the threat with the understanding that the county would decide by early fall.

Chaos/Order: Matt Devine's Metal Sculptures
Joanne Artman Gallery
Drawn to the immediacy, speed, and strength of working with metal, Matt Devine creates seemingly weightless and gravity-defying metal sculptures out of steel, aluminum, and bronze. Non-representational, the harmonious sculptures are characterized by clean lines in homage to mid-century Minimalism. Devine explains that the repetition of form, composition, and minimalistic patterns in his work "is about trying to remove as much as possible." A self-taught artist who learned welding by constructing theater sets, he admits that each piece matches his intended design only about 95 percent. Although he strives for 100 percent, he enjoys the element of surprise that works its way in. Often times, his idea for the next sculpture originates in something interesting he sees in the discarded scraps of metal left behind from the previous one.
