- "I hope you're less full of shit than your cousin, here."
- ― Mallorie Bardas
Mallorie Bardas-Bellic is a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto IV. She is the twenty-nine-year old girlfriend and, eventually, fiancé and wife of Roman Bellic.
Life up to 2008
Mallorie was born in Puerto Rico, later moving to South Bohan, Liberty City. She occasionally works as a dancer for Manny Escuela in South Bohan, as well as an employee for Roman at his taxi depot in Hove Beach. Mallorie has been arrested on two occasions: in 1998 for joyriding and in 2002 for being in possession of a controlled substance (marijuana).
Mallorie at mission Three's a Crowd.
In 2008 (the setting of Grand Theft Auto IV), Roman's cousin Niko discovers that she is having an affair with Vladimir Glebov, but only because Vlad promised to settle Roman's debts if she slept with him. Although Niko warns Vlad multiple times to stay away from her, Vlad blows off the threats. Eventually Roman sees Vlad's car parked outside of Mallorie's place and puts two and two together. Roman goes to Niko for support, but when Niko reveals that he had suspicions of the affair, it only makes Roman feel more upset and betrayed. Feeling bad about not informing Roman or doing more to stop the affair, Niko decides that it's time to deal with Vlad once and for all, and the cousins head to the Comrades Bar to put a final end to both Vlad and the affair. Although at the time Roman seems to want a peaceful solution to the problem and calls Niko a "hot headed chump" after he puts a bullet in Vlad's eye; later in the game he tells Mallorie that it was him, not Niko, that killed Vlad in a jealous fit of rage, and that Niko helped him dispose of the body. When Mallorie tells Niko this, he plays along and supports Roman's claim, and tells her that Roman is an "old school romantic".
Later in the game, after Dimitri Rascalov has Roman's taxi depot and apartment destroyed, Mallorie's cousin allows Roman and Niko to stay at their flat in South Bohan. Mallorie introduces Niko to Manny Escuela and Elizabeta Torres. Later, Mallorie calls Niko to tell him that Roman was kidnapped, and Niko manages to rescue him. At the end of the game she marries Roman at a church in Suffolk and reveals that she is pregnant. In the Revenge ending of the game, Roman tells Niko that if they have a daughter, they will name her Kate, after the late Kate McReary (who was gunned down during their wedding by Jimmy Pegorino). During the Deal ending, Mallorie is left a widow (Roman was shot and killed while Niko disarmed an assassin) and tells Niko that the child will struggle without a father. Niko promises that her son "will never have to worry about anything."

- In the Broker Safehouse, there is a picture of a much younger looking Mallorie next to the bed, in a picture frame.
- Although sharing the same surname as Henrique Bardas, it is unlikely that they are related, simply because Mallorie is Puerto Rican and Henrique is of Dominican descent.
- Mallorie is known to smoke marijuana. She has a record of the substance, and there is a bong in the South Bohan Safehouse. It is not known if the bong is hers, however, as the apartment belongs to Mallorie's cousin.
- After Roman proposes to Mallorie, her voicemail will change, unlike Roman's.
- The only mission where she appears outside of a cutscene is Three's a Crowd.
- Even though Mallorie cheated on Roman with Vlad, Roman and Niko don't seem to care about the fact she cheated and only blamed Vlad. However, Mallorie later reveals that Vlad promised not to hurt Roman if she slept with him.
- Mallorie ends up getting Niko and Roman in trouble a couple of times in the game, despite her good intentions. The first was when she slept with Vlad and Niko killed him, which led to him working for Mikhail Faustin, which ultimately led to Niko being betrayed by Dimitri Rascalov and being hunted by the Russian Mafia. The second was when she got Michelle to date Niko without knowing that she was actually an undercover agent sent to watch Niko. That led to Niko being forced to work for the ULPC. The third time was when she connected Niko to Elizabeta Torres who ended up killing Manny Escuela and getting a 300 year sentence in prison. The only reason Niko wasn't arrested with her is because he was instead forced to work for the ULPC.
- Hostile Negotiation is the only mission where Mallorie is the boss.
- Mallorie doesn't show up as an "Unknown Caller" when she first calls Niko. This is likely due to the fact that Niko's cell phone is Roman's old phone.

Scottsdale Auto Glass – What Should I know?
Simply put, this is glass that you would find in an automobile. Not too many know that in Scottsdale there are two major forms of auto glass. Each one is used on certain windows in the automobile. Both types of auto glass are more impact resistant and stronger than regular glass.
What Are the Different Kinds Of Windshield Replacement Scottsdale Services that are Available?
Laminated safety glass-this glass is generally used on a car's windshield. It is comprised of a couple of pieces of glass that has a slim layer of vinyl. The glass is then heated and pressed together in an autoclave, which is a type of oven. When this glass receives a tough impact it will shatter also but usually the shattered pieces will stick to the vinyl and not fall on the ground.
If the windshield just has a tiny vein or nick, the auto glass professional may be able to repair the tiny vein or nick to keep it from spreading further. The repair will generally take fewer than thirty minutes in Scottsdale. The vein or nick is cleaned thoroughly and dried. Resin is injected and a material like Mylar is used to hold it in place. The professional cures the resin by using an ultraviolet light.
Three Reasons to Repair Your Windshield Chip Instead of Replacing the Windshield
But I Thought You Said This Windshield Was Original Equipment?
Here is a common story for a consumer. A person has a brand new or leased vehicle and a piece of glass becomes damaged. They call an auto glass company and the consumer is told OEE is an original equipment equivalent replacement piece for their vehicle. But when the auto glass technician shows up to complete the replacement, the piece of glass does not actually have the vehicle makers OEM manufacturer logo.
OEE - Parts produced for installation in the "aftermarket" by third party companies.
What Is OEM Auto Glass? (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
When a new vehicle is designed the vehicle maker can use an existing windshield part from an older model vehicle, or they can create a whole new windshield and part number. If the decision is made to create a whole new windshield the vehicle maker contracts a glass manufacturer to create the part. The glass manufacturer and vehicle maker create a unique mold and a unique molding/firing process to produce the OEM windshield (Original Equipment Manufacturer). The parts are installed when the vehicle is assembled at the vehicle makers factory.
6. Rear View Mirror Brackets And Sensors - Aftermarket windshields (OEE) use a different process to adhere the mirror brackets to the glass. I find that their quality of adhesion and location is not as accurate as OEM parts. In fact, aftermarket distributors repeatedly drip glue on the glass below the bracket which may stain the black ceramic band on the interior side of the glass. When it comes to sensor components such as a rain sensors, the problem it not as rampant. But on a BMW windshield, a mirror bracket not correctly aligned may hinder the re-installation of the mirror's plastic cover assembly which hides the sensor and bracket.
So Which Windshield Should I Choose, OEM or OEE?
The biggest impact on your decision will be budget. OEM parts are almost always higher priced. Most consumers simply choose OEE because they have no choice, everyone needs to save a few bucks. Don't be scared of choosing aftermarket glass though because safety is mostly impacted by the technician installing the windshield correctly, not the glass itself. But if you really love your vehicle and expect the best quality, you should choose OEM. And if you are leasing your vehicle, your dealer may have restrictions on what type of glass is acceptable upon returning the vehicle. You may get a fee added if you have an aftermarket glass installed. Call your dealer for more information.
What Are Windshield Replacement Cost Factors?
When there are windshield cracks the owner may be able to fix it themselves using a kit or have a professional auto glass technician do the job. The kit has all the tools that are necessary to fix the crack, including the resin. One thing to note is that these cracked windshield kits will only work on little holes or dings or thin small cracks. With larger cracks, they may not disappear no matter how many treatments are applied. For long or deep windshield cracks or ones that do not respond to treatment with the kit, should be taken to an auto glass repair shop to have the windshield replaced or fixed. When they look at it, they can tell you if it is repairable or needs to be replaced. Most insurance companies will take care of the repair or replacement.
• Once it has hardened you can remove the tool
• Check the crack to see if you need to repeat the treatment. If it is a deep crack, you may need to do it again.
• Once you are satisfied with the repair of the windshield cracks you should take a soft dry cloth and polish the area so the resin solution will match the glass around it as much as it can. If you were fixing a small crack it could become almost unrecognizable and appear new to the naked eye but if it is a large crack it could look slightly warped in the area where it was fixed.

Familiarity Breeds Contempt as White Sox Lose Series to Bosox; No Last Minute Deals This Year
For anyone who wants to understand the White Sox struggles through the club's first 106 games just has to look at the last three innings of today's disappointing 5-3 loss to the Red Sox. It serves as a microcosm of the team's failure to be better than their 52-54 record.
7th Inning: The Sox lost their 3-2 lead (wasting another Mark Buehrle effort) , largely due to a deflected infield hit and a Tyler Flowers passed ball that moved the tying and winning runs into second and third. The two runners scored on a Dustin Pedroia base hit.
8th Inning: With two outs and Alexei Ramirez on second with his 22nd double, Juan Pierre failed to drive in the tying run. It is important to note that Pierre was hitting in the third spot only because he replaced Paul Konerko, removed from the game after being hit by a pitch.
9th Inning: Now down 5-3, the Sox had three of their supposed big bats in position to give it a shot. But they went down with a whimper as Carlos Quentin, Adam Dunn and Alex Rios all went down swinging. The problem, as we all know, is that Dunn and Rios are far from being big bats, despite the preseason expectations and the back of their baseball cards. They haven't done it in the first four months and there's no reason to believe things are going to change.
If Dunn and Rios continue their woeful offense and continue to fail when it counts, there's no reason to believe the Sox are any better than a .500 team let alone a division contender.
Bad Timing?: With two losses in a row, the Sox find themselves in a tough situation with the Yankees coming in for four games. To make matters worse, C.C. Sabathia is on the mound in Game 1 tomorrow night.

|Madhu chargrilling some aubergines
On 19th November I spent the day with some good friends learning a little more about indian food, under the expert tuition of Madhu Choudhry.
Madhu trained as a chef in 1994, and did her work experience at the world famous Taj Hotel in Mumbai, India. She moved to Norfolk in 1999 and started offering cookery tuition at her home, before starting her own catering company "Ethnic Fusion".
She has introduced her food to the masses with regular stints at the award winning Creake Abbey Farmers Market, regularly selling all her stock within the first hour. And earlier this year she opened her brand new cookery school – based at Etling Green. This was our location on Saturday, tucked away in the Norfolk countryside just outside Dereham.
The cookery school is set in an old barn complex, part of which has been transformed into a fantastic spacious kitchen which is both welcoming and comfortable to work in. There were 5 of us learning from Madhu on the Beginners workshop, which is a full one day course introducing you to all the major ingredients used in Indian cooking, along with a chance to taste and then recreate some classic Indian dishes. We arrived just before 10am, and with cups of tea a plenty, settled around the demonstration hob to begin our day of learning.
|Entrance to Ethnic Fusion
|A welcoming environment with a few home touches!
Madhu first told us about all the key herbs and spices used in her cooking, which we passed around the class to look at, and importantly, smell. Madhu uses the freshest ingredients possible in her cooking, and this includes freshly ground spices. Being able to smell all the ingredients really showed us the difference freshly ground spices make. Then we watched as she created 4 dishes which we would then get to eat for lunch, and recreate ourselves in the afternoon.
|Spices - you have to imagine the wonderful aroma
|Cooking whole spices
Madhu gives all students on her courses copies of the recipes learnt on the day, so you get more time to concentrate on looking and listening, and don't have to worry about scribbling notes about ingredients. This was really handy, although its worth taking a notepad to write down some of the many tips shared throughout the day.
On the menu for our workshop was chicken masala, vegetable pilau, baingan ka bharta (an aubergine dish), and carrot raita. The morning was spent watching Madhu create these four flavoursome dishes, before we sat down at the dining table at the end of the workshop to enjoy them for lunch. This was another great point of the day, as we got to experience exactly how the dishes we were to prepare in the afternoon should taste – all the different flavours and textures.
|Madhu at work
|Delicious carrot raita
|Madhu's four delicious creations, a taste sensation!
And then after a leisurely lunch, it was time for us to do the hard work, under the watchful eye of Madhu and the ever helpful Jenny, who made sure we had enough drinks (cooking is thirsty work!) and also cooking pans. We spent 4 hours creating the 4 dishes. It sounds like a long time, but actually flew past and was most fun.
Each dish was taste tested by Madhu, and at the end, our creations were packaged up ready to come home with us. My creations fed 6 people very well, so you get plenty to take away!
|My workspace at the end of the day.
|Take out for 6? OK then!
All in all a really good day, and thoroughly worth doing. And, tonight I put my new skills to use and made a lovely chicken masala for dinner.

Vouchers are available for Christmas this year - a great gift for anyone who loves Indian food!

Note: Painfully slow internet could limit update capability . . .
Dennis Allen said he would visit the issue of whether Darren McFadden would see action against Seattle and his answer may come as a surprise.
McFadden is suited up and ready to play. When Allen says football is football and you can't worry about injuries, he means it. We'll see how many touches McFadden actually gets.
Also apparently out or listed as "not expected to play" are Sebastian Janikowski, Jacoby Ford, Denarius Moore, Aaron Curry, Stefen Wisniewski and Richard Seymour. No surprises there.
Not expected to play for Seattle are running back Marshawn Lynch, cornerback Walter Thurmond, safety Chris Maragos, linebacker Matt McCoy, guard James Carpenter, wide receiver Doug Baldin, defensive tackle Jason Jones and defensive end Greg Scruggs.
During pregame, former Raiders coach and Seahawks line coach Tom Cable renewed acquaintences with several team employees. Nothing nearly so interesting as last year's pregame, when Cable and Hue Jackson went through jogging rituals careful to always be on the opposite side of the field from each other.

Book – Oscar is doing pretty well for himself. He's found his way to Cambridge, working his way through his degree as an aide in a nursing home, where he meets the most interesting characters. He never loses his head, though, until he meets Iris Bellwether at one of her brother's church services (he plays the organ). A little light church music isn't all Eden Bellwether is interested in, though, and before he knows it, Oscar is drawn into Eden's circle of admirers, accomplices and experimental subjects. Eden believes that his music has the power to heal. He might be right.
This spectacular Gothic novel by debut author Benjamin Wood sucked me in from the wonderful two-page prologue. It's been repeatedly compared to Donna Tartt's The Secret History and Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, but as I've read neither of those, I couldn't tell you how accurate the comparison is. I can tell you that I fell in love with all the characters, who are by turns symbolic and wonderfully genuine, and that the tense, surreal atmosphere was sustained well throughout the book. I'd recommend it for a book club – there's lots to talk about.

NEA Delegates and Colleagues Say Farewell to President Dennis Van Roekel
Outgoing president leaves behind a legacy of making education equity a primary focus of the Association.
As delegates wrap up the National Education Association's 2014 Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly (RA), they also say farewell to outgoing president Dennis Van Roekel who has presided over the past six RA's, consistently demonstrating pragmatic leadership, decisiveness, and optimism, even in the face of mounting attacks on public education and unions.
Van Roekel steered NEA through one of the most tumultuous times in public education history, as right wing politicians and so-called education reformers sought to defund education, strip educators of their collective bargaining rights, and privatize schools to turn a profit.
Now, as Van Roekel hands the reins to incoming president Lily Eskelsen Garcia, he leaves behind a legacy of dedication and service to NEA members and public education students. Not only did he tirelessly work to reverse the influence of corporate reformers, elevate the teaching profession, and bring an end to an era of toxic testing, he has moved the issue of equity and the challenges of poverty into the center of the national conversation about public education so that each and every student has access to a great public school.
The 3 million members of the National Education Association thank Dennis Van Roekel for his service and passion for students and educators. As he leaves Denver at the close of his last RA, friends and colleagues – from former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Conner to renowned education advocate Linda Darling-Hammond – say farewell and wish him well upon his retirement from the National Education Association, but not from the work of serving our public school students.
As Justice O'Conner said, someone with Van Roekel's passion never really stops serving, and she wishes him the best as he continues to "go forward with service and help for the teachers of this country."

The LA Galaxy are still three weeks away from the start of their CONCACAF Champions League campaign, but the rest of Group 5 is already in full swing.
On Wednesday, A.D. Isidro Metapán (El Salvador) defeated the Puerto Rico Islanders, 3-1 at the Estadio Jorge Calero Suárez in Metapán, El Salvador.
Puerto Rico struck first blood in the 25th minute with a goal by Islanders' Nicolas Addlery, but allowed Metapán back in the match when the Islanders went down to 10 men after Jay Needham was sent off in the 35th minute. With a man advantage, Metapán's Nicolás Muñoz tallied three second half goals to lead the Salvadoran club to victory.
The LA Galaxy start CCL play when they host Metapán at The Home Depot Center on August 23rd.

SBS Designs S 6

Here it is REAL and Untouched by Marketing people.....
S6 Power Tests
Audio power unit bench test continuous sine wave (100% duty cycle) Due to extreme current, the following steps have to be taken to make the test work:
The amp board fuses replaced with ABC-15 types (they each see a half cycle of the load) the speaker fuse replaced with an AGC-30.
The power supply has a 2500 watt continuous draw limit, so the 100 % duty cycle test has to be done on one channel at a time.
80 volts peak delivered into 2 ohm resistor load which is 1600 watts RMS, 28 amps RMS distortion .09 %. Power supply draw 2000 watts.
90 volts peak delivered into 4 ohm resistor load which is 1012 watts RMS , 16 amps RMS distortion .03 % Power supply draw 1280 watts.
Stereo bench test 1khz 25ms on, 25 ms off, repeating cycles ( 50 % duty cycle)
The amplifier is restored to original fuse values and both channels are loaded and driven.
80 volts peak per channel into 2 ohm resistor load which is 1600 watts during on cycle Power supply draw 2030 watts
90 volts peak per channel into 4 ohm resistor load which is 1012 watts during on cycle Power supply draw 1300 watts
100 volts peak per channel into 8 ohm resistor load which is 625 watts during on cycle Power supply draw 950 watts
It can be seen that these results are like the continuous test, but with the power supply capacity being time shared between both channels.
Audio power test:
Bass heavy techno music from CD:
Voltage measured with Sperry DVM with peak averaging adapter.
Both channels driven to near clip with music
Results :
Load for 2 ohms: 1 Yorkville E15 , 1 EV180 sub, and 4 ohm load resistor on each channel 80 volts average peak for 1600 watts audio per channel.
Load for 4 ohms: same as above, but no load resistors
94 volts average peak for 1100 watts audio per channel.
Load for 8 ohms: 1 Yorkville E15 per channel
105 volts average peak for 689 watts audio per channel.
While 2 ohm ratings with big power are everywhere in marketing, it can be seen here that to truly deliver significant continuous power into 2 ohms takes huge current, it takes almost the full capacity of a 20 amp mains circuit to do it on one channel. It is even more of a challenge to do this in a high fidelity linear amplifier.
Fortunately, Audio is not a continuous draw, so we can time share a 2500 watt power supply between two channels with the help of 88000 uF energy storage.
However, every power unit itself is built to withstand its full rating 100% continuous for the benefit of reliability and longevity. How do competitors claim double this power with a 15 amp mains breaker ?
Its Simple, a 1/8 duty Cycle = (12%) of real power, enforced by compression and other limiting circuits.
This can be verified by looking at service manuals for popular brands and locating the VCA circuit in the input stage.
The result is a product that can produce very loud bursts, but not hold up on a long note.
General Specifications:
Frequency response as controlled by input preamp:
10hz – 60khz within 0.5 dB full power
Frequency response of power unit without preamp or output choke:
10hz – 100khz within 0.5 dB full power
THD in 20hz to 20khz range 4 ohm load full power .03%
Power unit step response Slew rate test without input RF protection at Preamp: 80 V/us
Damping Factor: 300
Input for for full power out: 1.4 volts RMS
Topology:Fully true complement, class AB + class B boost, AKA linear Class G
Output Devices Per Ch: S6 has 8 pairs per ch
These specifications are by design. The use of large amounts of negative feedback to obtain vanishing THD and higher damping is easy to do, but blind listening tests have proven that low feedback designs sound more natural and less fatiguing.
Tests are real world full power and bandwidth, and not selected sweet spots
in the operating range.

Hispanic Americans
[Back to Ethnic Heritage Studies Center]
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Spanish speakers in Oneida County, NY has grown from 1,271 in 1970 to 7,940 in 2010. The 2010 Census counts 10,819 Hispanics in Oneida County; and of the 62,235 inhabitants in Utica, 10.5 % are Hispanic.
Hispanics have lived in the Mohawk Valley since the 1800s. The numbers began to grow in the early 20th century with the arrival of Spaniards, Puerto Ricans and Mexicans who worked on the canal, railroads and local factories. The community grew even more rapidly after World War II as many Puerto Ricans from New York City and the Island came to work in the textile factories and slaughterhouses. The local Hispanic community is currently 60 % Puerto Rican and 11 % Dominican. The former has constituted the largest group of Hispanics for decades and the latter is one of the fastest growing groups in the county.
There have been many attempts to organize the various Latino groups in the Upper Mohawk Valley, including the Hispanic American Action League in the 70s, the Latin American Society for Togetherness (L.A.S.T.) in the 80s, Hispanos Unidos in the 90s, and the current organization, the Mohawk Valley Latino Association (MVLA), founded in 2003. The MVLA, under the direction of Sonia Martínez and Anthony Colón, organized the 2011 Latino Upstate Summit, and regularly sponsors a yearly Hispanic Heritage Festival, an annual dinner-dance gala, a local children's dance group Ritmo caribeño, and a boy scout troop. In the past, the MVLA sponsored a G.E.D. and citizenship class in Spanish.
Latinos have established upwards of forty businesses in the area, including restaurants, barber shops, beauty salons, a nightclub, a Karate school, insurance agencies, and an automotive repair shop. St. John's Catholic Church has offered a weekly mass in Spanish since the late 1960s, and several other Christian Churches in the city also have services in Spanish. Hispanics have taken leadership roles in the community as their presence becomes more and more visible. Antonia Cardona's novel Te veo luego (2009) recounts, in part, her experiences in Utica in the 60s and 70s.
For information about the Spanish spoken in Utica please click here.
The book Diary of a small Hispanic Community (2017) summarizes the story of the Utica Latinos.

Cyndi Lauper blamed 9/11 for flubbing the lyrics to "The Star Spangled Banner" at the U.S. Open.
The 1980s pop icon sang "O'er the ramparts we watched as our flag was still streaming" instead of "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming," at the tennis match in New York. By National Anthem flub standards, it was pretty mild. But the singer was still embarrassed.
"Whew, I just did the anthem for the US open," Lauper tweeted. "It was an awesome experience. I got choked up in the middle remembering 9/11. The moon shone done (sic) on us and I tried to say a prayer at the same time. I hope I didn't mess up too bad. I wanted it to be comforting."
U.S. & World
Christina Aguilera screwed the song up similarly at the last Super Bowl, replacing "o'er the ramparts we watched" with "what so proudly we watched." Roseanne Barr made the nation wince at the 1990 World Series, shrieking, spitting and grabbing her crotch. She did get the lyrics right, however.

In the wake of the introduction of federal marijuana reform bills on February 5, the national media has started paying closer attention to the possibility of change in the coming years. One example is this interview with MPP's director of government relations, Steve Fox:
Such bills have come before Congress in the past with less fanfare, but it seems like this time they are being taken more seriously. Perhaps the fact that voters in Colorado and Washington decided they were sick of marijuana prohibition had something to do with it:

Ohio bill would require 1 license plate, not 2
Motorists would only be required to display a single license plate on the rear of their vehicles under a proposal pending in the Ohio House.
But at the same time, a joint House-Senate task force unanimously has recommended against the change to one plate from two, The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Rep. Cheryl Grossman of Grove City, the chairwoman of the License Plate Safety Task Force, said the panel heard no testimony in favor of the switch. The insurance industry, school-bus drivers, truck drivers and the State Highway Patrol along with other law enforcement offices wanted to keep both plates.
At the end of December, the joint panel voted in favor of maintaining the two-plate requirement.
Law-enforcement officials told task force members that front plates help people more easily report crimes and allow officers to spot people involved in traffic investigations, Grossman said.
"I think it's important that we have as many tools as possible for identification," she told the newspaper. "The ability to identify whoever is in that car is far more important than someone who doesn't want a license plate to spoil the front of their car."
A House committee passed a bill seven months ago to require one plate, not two. The proposal has 19 co-sponsors from both parties and is awaiting the OK from House leadership to be taken up for a vote.
Supporters point to the bill's potential savings for the state: about $1.4 million each year in license plate production and distribution.

After all the tabloid news surrounding their relationship from two years ago, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian finally tied the knot yesterday, People reported. Their engagement was announced in December.
A spokesman for Rimes told the magazine: "LeAnn and Eddie were happily married today surrounded by their closest family and friends. They thank everyone for their well wishes."
The wedding, which was held at a private home in California, was a surprise even for the approximately 40 guests, who thought they were attending the couple's engagement party. Among them were Cibrian's two young sons from his former marriage.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Rimes and Cibrian's relationship became the subject of speculation when the two starred in the Lifetime movie "Northern Lights" in 2009, while married to other people: Rimes to Dean Sheremet, and Cibrian to Brandi Glanville. Those couples' divorces were finalized last year. At the time, both Rimes and Cibrian denied they were romantically involved with each other.
Rimes told People about her relationship with Cibrian last November: "We make mistakes and we learn from them, but we're human. We fell in love. We're really happy in what we feel privately."

Young children can start with a quarter of a teaspoon and can progress up to one teaspoon and increase with age.
Superfood Plus extra information and smoothie recipes:
You can just add Superfood Plus to fruit or vegetable juice (and shake) for the speediest drink! But if you want to make smoothies and add other ingredients alongside the Superfood Plus Powder then keep reading.
Smoothies can become a great part of an everyday healthy diet, so investing in a good blender or liquidiser can be good. Very cheap models do not tend to blend the smoothie as well (especially if you are adding nuts and seeds) but this doesn't mean you have to spend hundreds and hundreds. We currently recommend a NutriBullet which retails at around £100 for the standard model. If you are looking to spend more, Magimix is also a good brand plus Blendtec and Vitamix (at the top end).
Smoothies can be consumed throughout the day, so having containers to take extra with you can be useful although they will need be refrigerated if you are consuming them more than two hours later. You will need a good container that does not leak. Have a look at Smoothie Drinking Bottles or you can keep glass jars of smoothies in the fridge at home. Smoothies can be a great way of boosting nutrients not just in the morning but also throughout the day if you are prone to 'unhealthy' snacking. An ideal snack might be a handful of nuts and a green smoothie.
Time save: put all the dry powder you want to have in a little air tight container, the evening before. All you have to do in the morning is add it to water, fruit and vegetables etc in the morning or when e.g at work or the gym.
Getting used to green (or purple!) smoothies:
Not everyone initially loves a green smoothie when they are getting used to it! If you haven't tried Superfood Plus before then it can be daunting to go head first into total green smoothie land. More experienced smoother makers may find it easy to swig back the emerald liquid without a care in the world but we forget everyone has to start somewhere.
There is no use trying to make yourself start with a green smoothie with no fruit if you don't think you can drink it. Some of our staff, customers and clinic clients started out like this and then over the years everyone gets used to a 'greener' approach (or even purple if you add some tasty fresh beetroot) and has either no fruit or less fruit.
A word about fruit:
While the nutrients within the fruit are good for you e.g. vitamin C and they offer you a source of fibre to support a healthy gut; fruit also contains fruit sugar called 'fructose'. Lower fructose fruit includes: apples, pears, plums, peaches and berries. Try to choose these fruits when making a smoothie as these may have a lower impact on your blood sugar support you managing your weight. Sugars of all kinds (natural and less natural) may feed undesirable intestinal microbes.
Mango, banana and grapes are very sweet so either use only the smallest amount or don't use at all (especially if you are trying to manage your blood sugar). Those getting used to drinking green smoothies might want wish to use sweeter fruits while they get used to the taste of blended vegetables. Over time, try to reduce the sweeter fruit you use. Starting children off on green smoothies can go better if you use sweeter fruit but very young children may not have developed much of a sweet tooth at all, so do not assume it has to be very sweet. Experiment! Some vegetables like carrots and beetroot can be quite sweet so they can also be used to add to the sweetness of a green smoothie.
We have also included some less sweet fruit and zero fruit recipes below.
Tip: smoothies often taste extra good with lashings of lemon juice, fresh ginger and cinnamon powder.
Wild Cinnamon Powder also provides a sweet-like taste to trick the taste buds. Cinnamon is also warming and studies show it be helpful for healthy blood sugar support.
What can I add if I need to sweeten a smoothie?
A little maple syrup, raw honey, pure stevia powder (not commercially produced stevia products) or coconut nectar sugar. But you should aim for smoothies that are not extra sweetened! Fruit should be enough. Be careful with dates as these are very sweet and even 1 date goes a long way. Cinnamon, carob and liquorice powder can all be used to give the idea of a sweet taste which may be especially helpful for those trying to cut down on sugar (of any kind) in their diet or manage a sweet tooth.
Green Drinks in the Winter:
How to make a green drink inviting when its cold outside?
Drinking green juices isnt always appealing in the Winter! So what do you do in winter time when its really cold (or even snowing outside)? Well you dont have to give up green drinks. We recommend drinking them alongside a warming bowel of porridge (try with almond milk, nuts and seeds on top and some cinnamon power mixed through). If you arent much of a big eater in the morning, then try a green drink alongside a warming mug of miso soup or a mug of fresh ginger root tea! You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper and other warming foods like ginger and cloves to your green drink.
A little comment about lemons and limes:
Lemons (and limes) are a source of vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, normal function of blood vessels, energy levels, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, the normal maintenance of the immune system and increases iron absorption. It also contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This is why we include their juice in many smoothie recipes we personally favour food sources over synthetic vitamin C. The juice also gives the recipes a pleasant refreshing taste to greener smoothies as well as complementing sweeter flavours. It works well with 'earthy' flavours to make them more palatable. Limes give you a more tropical taste work amazingly with fruit like papaya, for example. If you are using organic lemons or limes then you can also go one step further – you can try blending the lemon whole (pith, skin and juice). The pith and peel contain the most volatile oils and bioflavonoids (plant antioxidants) and the volatile oils have established (through research) antiseptic and antibacterial properties. We (and Dr. Schulze) think you can never have enough lemon in your life which is also why he uses the dry peel in the pre-mixed powder.
The "I don't have time" Recipe:
These recipes are based on fruit juice or vegetable juice that is shop bought. Always look for those 'not from concentrate' and 'no added sugar'.
you can use vegetable juice instead. Many health food stores sell 100 % carrot or beetroot juice in glass bottles which only have natural preservatives in them. You could also mix it with a little 100 % prune juice and water (this is especially helpful for those that wish to regulate bowel movements).
If you are travelling, we recommend purchasing the Superfood Plus Sachets. These can be emptied into any bottle of pre-made smoothies or juices (there are lots of better brand available now).

Art and Artifacts of the North
The Dartmouth College Library (http://library.dartmouth.edu/) houses rare research collections in polar studies that range from the latest scientific journal articles to historical photographs and manuscripts in the Stefansson Collection on Polar Exploration in the Rauner Special Collections Library. Much of Dartmouth's northern material was the result of the remarkable period of northern activity at the college in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as support for Canadian and arctic endeavors on the part of then-president John Sloan Dickey.
Founded as the private research collection of the arctic explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Stefansson Collection is a rich body of material for research on the history of both the Arctic and Antarctic. It includes published expedition records and diaries, biographies, bibliographies, and general histories of the polar regions, as well as original logbooks, journals, correspondence, and personal papers of many polar explorers.
Many of the photographic holdings relate to the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913–1918, but there are also photographs of other expeditions, ships, events, peoples, flora and fauna, and equipment in the collection. The Stefansson Collection also contains paintings, drawings, prints, and sketchbooks, all of which are part of Dartmouth's overall collection of objects related to the art and material culture of Canada and the circumpolar North numbering more than 3,000 items.
During the International Polar Year 2007–2008, the Hood Museum of Art partnered with the Institute of Arctic Studies to develop the exhibit Thin Ice: Inuit Traditions within a Changing Environment (http://hoodmuseum.dartmouth.edu/exhibitions/thinice/index.html), which explored traditional Inuit life through 19th and early 20th century art and artifacts that indigenous arctic peoples used to survive challenging environments. The exhibit highlighted the impact of rapid climate change and the melting of sea ice on Inuit ways of life.

I'm using the Mailchimp STS plugin for Wordpress, which uses Amazon SES for transactional emails. The plugin is set up correctly, but the default "From" name appears only as "andrew" in sent emails. Since there is no option to change this in the plugin's settings, I assume this is being grabbed from my email address (e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com).
I found this code in the plugin:
// Plugin authors can override the potentially troublesome default
$phpmailer->From = apply_filters( 'wp_mail_from', $from_email );
$phpmailer->FromName = apply_filters( 'wp_mail_from_name', $from_name );
How can I change it so that I can display a custom "From" name (e.g. My Name, Company).

Lovely holiday luncheon yesterday. Dear Lady put on a sit-down holiday luncheon for about 20 women in our community. If it had been 1950, the luncheon might have looked like women wearing shirt-dresses with petticoats to make them flounce, hats and gloves, and a fashionable purse. But it isn't 1950, and that is not what the women looked like at our luncheon yesterday. Although, our dear hostess, bless her heart, had a gift for each of us at the close of the luncheon — individual hand-sewn aprons that she had been making since the previous summer. She made them specifically to gift to each of us at her holiday luncheon.
I would share photos, but I haven't obtained permissions from the women, so in respect for their privacy, if I have photos that don't reveal faces, I'll post those later.
I'm just tickled with the holiday festivities this year right here within our small little village. Open house party, holiday luncheon, church potluck, Women's Club potluck coming up next week, annual Christmas play put on by the children, Open house party on New Year's Eve, chili dinner – bring breads later in January. Perhaps these gatherings have been the norm here for several years, but I'm just entering into all the festive fun this year, so it's all new to me. And as such, it's like opening a lot of gaily wrapped presents, different in form and shape.

Renewable Riesling
State's first solar 'net-zero' winery goes live
Aug. 11, 2013
A motor whirs every couple minutes.
One of the panels ticks a few inches to the side on one axis. It moves a degree or two up or down on the other.
The giant, glistening solar panels have GPS systems and clocks so they know where the sun is at all times. The motors keep them pointed in its direction.
At sunrise and sunset, the panels stand almost upright. At night they rest, lying down to keep out of the wind.
The show is even better in the winter:
when they wake up, each panel is programmed to go through a series of movements to shake off snow.
Three of these striking solar panel arrays were installed at Brengman Brothers at Crain Hill Winery on S. Center Highway in Leelanau County in June.
The 430-square-foot tracking panels make Crain Hill the first "net-zero" winery in Michigan, meaning the operation produces as much electricity as it uses to make and sell its white and red wine blends, Reislings, Pinot Noirs, cherry wine and other batches from 22 acres of grapes.
In fact, the operation produces more electricity than it uses, and sells back the excess to the grid for energy credits that can be used in the winter.
Robert Brengman, one of the brothers and managing director, said solar energy makes sense from both an environmental and business standpoint.
The project is estimated to pay for itself in around seven years. After that, the winery will not have energy costs for years other than system maintenance.
"In this case, we're both good neighbors to the planet and it's a good business decision," Brengman said.
Part of the satisfaction, though, is knowing your energy source is 100 feet away and clean, rather than from a coal-fired power plant 100 or so miles downstate, he said.
The Crain Hill setup cost around $72,000 to install. The winery gets some of that money back in tax credits and also received a USDA grant to pay for 25% of the project.
Without the grant money, the numbers wouldn't add up so well, Brengman said.
"If you don't have that incentive or the credits, then it becomes just purely a decision of not having any carbon footprint, which, that's still a solid decision," he said.
With the incentives that currently exist, Brengman expects to see other Northern Michigan wineries go "net zero" soon.
Tom Gallery, owner of Leelanau Solar LLC, which installed the project, said private projects like the one at Crain Hill have an advantage over something like Cherryland Electrical Cooperative's Community Solar project (also called a solar garden), which got up and running this summer and offers co-op customers a chance to buy into solar energy.
Gallery said the trouble with Cherryland's project is that it could take as many as 20 years for an investment to pay for itself. That's around the life of a solar panel, he said.
The garden project, which motorists along US 31 may have noticed, was established earlier this summer in Grawn outside the Cherryland offices. It has the advantage of giving customers a chance to buy shares of solar power without concerns over maintenance or upkeep.
"If you want to have a 20-year payback, that's how you do it: just have someone else do everything and you pay into it," Gallery said.
Gallery said another reason the Crain Hill installation is more economically viable is because Consumers Energy pays 11.8 cents per kilowatt hour, or the retail rate, when it buys back excess electricity from Crain Hill. Cherryland buys back electricity from the solar garden at 7.8 cents per kWh, or the wholesale rate, which makes the investment take longer to even out.
Gallery notes that Cherryland opposed Proposal 3 last year, a measure that would have required 25% of energy produced in Michigan to be renewable by 2025. Before that, they opposed the current standard in the state, which is 10% by 2015.
However, Rachel Johnson, grass roots activist for Cherryland Electric, said the Community Solar project shows the cooperative's commitment to renewable energy.
"We had members who were interested in renewable energy, but couldn't potentially buy into it themselves," Johnson said.
"Our central goal here was to create a project that gave our members something they said they were asking for."
Johnson said another reason the Crain Hill project can pay for itself sooner than the Cherryland project is because they received grant money from the USDA.
If energy rates go up, the Cherryland project could pay for itself sooner, she said.
Cherryland offers a chance for ordinary customers to buy into solar for a few hundred dollars without having to worry about maintenance of a solar system, she said.
"We are going to handle all of the maintenance costs, all of the insurance costs, and if a panel breaks, we're are going to go out and get someone to fix it," she said.
Gallery came to renewable energy late in his career. He started out as an automotive engineer in Detroit, where he worked for over 30 years.
He's owned a home in Northport for decades, but moved north around eight years ago when he started conducting wind assessment and analysis for wind turbines.
In the past eight years, solar technology prices have dropped "just like a rock" and solar has surpassed wind as the best green technology for producing electricity, he said.
While the cost of solar has come down in recent years, solar has another big advantage over wind: its peak production usually coincides with peak periods of electrical use.
On hot days when air conditioners are going, the sun is out and solar panels can make electricity.
At Crain Hill, the panels make two to three times what it takes to air condition the facility, including the large, cathedral-like tasting room.
The excess electricity made in the summer can be banked in Michigan's electrical grid in the form of credits and used during the winter when there is less sunlight; for example, to run Crain Hill's geothermal heating system, Gallery said.
