Paul Bartolotta is best known for Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare, his lavish seafood restaurant at the Wynn Las Vegas. But for all of his restaurant's sourcing and presentational pomp, his dishes are straightforward and brilliantly uncomplicated. One of Bartolotta's preferred homemade meals is chicken, the most common – and most commonly overcooked – protein. Here the chef demonstrates how easy it is to do it right. "Our favorite cut is the thigh. It's the most flavorful, and we do it supersimple – just roasted with garlic and rosemary. Every day, we cook this kind of food."
For the Brown Rice:
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3/4 cup onion, diced
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 3/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 11/2 cups brown rice
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step 2
Melt butter over medium heat in an 8-inch sauce pot. Add onions and cook until translucent. Add stock and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Stir in bell pepper and rice. Season with salt and pepper, and return to a boil.
Step 4
Cover with lid. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
For the Chicken:
• 8 bone-in chicken thighs, with skin on
• 2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 16 garlic cloves, smashed with skin on
• 16 asparagus spears, cut into 2-inch lengths
• 8 rosemary sprigs
• 1/3 cup dry white wine
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine chicken with salt, pepper, olive oil, and garlic. Place in an 11-inch roasting pan, and roast for 25 minutes along with the rice.
Step 2
Remove from oven, add asparagus and rosemary, and roast for 10 minutes more.
Step 3
Transfer chicken and asparagus to a serving plate. Add wine and lemon to the pan and cook over a medium flame until slightly reduced. Spoon over the chicken. Serve with brown rice.
"Instead of making a fancy sauce with stock or butter, just throw some white wine in with the pan drippings and add a little lemon juice for acidity. Squeeze it and throw it in."

OAKLAND — Two adults and a juvenile have been arrested in connection with the killings of 15-year-old Raquel Gerstel and 16-year-old Bobbie Sartain, law enforcement sources confirmed Saturday.
No one has been formally charged, sources said, but one suspect did make admissions connecting the trio to the brutal early morning shooting Nov. 25 near Brookdale Park that left the teenage best friends dead in the street. The callous killing outraged the community.
Law enforcement officials added that one of the suspects already had been in custody on a crime unrelated to the shootings.
No other details were provided.
Gerstel's father confirmed there had been "good news" in the case, but has been asked to refrain from further comment by investigators.
The girls were found around 6 a.m. on Nov. 25, lying on the asphalt in the 2600 block of Minna Avenue near Brookdale Park, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. They clung to life as neighbors held their hands and waited for paramedics to arrive.
It is still unclear what the girls were doing before they were killed, but family members said they stopped by a mobile home that belongs to Bobbie's uncle at High Street and MacArthur Boulevard before they reportedly walked to a nearby Union 76 gas station.
Authorities had said the two girls had been friends for years after meeting in Alameda, where Raquel was raised before moving to San Leandro.

Well, had a lot of fun when playing with my friends. It's kinda chaotic and the bosses are easy with 3 players. Game is short, though.

For those who want to face Oktavia, I'd recommend grinding some levels in the normal stages first. Oktavia is always Lv35 no matter when you face her. She's available whenever Sayaka dies, so get some levels in first.
Long range is recommended, unless you want to get one-shotted by her sword slam.

Also to everyone, some cool facts.
When you beat your first lap, you then can start from the 5th lap. Beat the 5th lap, and you can play the 26th lap. Beat the 26th lap, then you can play the 677th lap. And from 677th lap....to 2602nd lap...
From the 26th lap on, enemies have a lot more health and they will ALWAYS one-shot kill you, no exceptions. Boss fights are of course much much harder.
The 677th lap is ridiculous. I saw a stream of 3 people playing it with Madoka, Homu, and Kyouko. Enemies have a ridiculous amount of health to the point that bigger enemies take like 5 minutes of constant juggling before they die. Gertrud has such a massive amount of health that even after 10 minutes of time stopping and arrow storm spamming, Gertrud's health bar barely budges. Pretty much to survive these high laps, you need Homura. Her timestop is key to survival and there's absolutely no chance of success without her.
Somehow i saw a picture in /jp/ and apparently someone completed it and that unlocks the 2602nd lap...It might be a photoshop, but if its real, I can't even imagine how difficult that is.

To those wondering how the lap unlocking works, there is a formula.
It goes by this: x^2 + 1 = c
So 1st lap = 1^2 + 1 = 2. Unlocks up to 2nd lap
2nd lap = 2^2 + 1 = 5. Unlocks up to 5th lap
5th lap = 5^2 + 1 = 26. Unlocks up to 26th lap
And so on and so forth. There seems to be no limit to the highest lap you can get.
And of course, the game gets progressively harder the higher you go.
Saw someone stream a fight with Oktavia at lvl 1000ish. Its so fucking ridiculous

Undine in the box T_T
Something quick I just made up
A little review and some opinion about the characters.
Akemi Homura: "TOKI WO TOMARE"
With her Time Stop Special you can think of a lot variation of spamming her attacks on the screen. Sadly she has the least Soul Limit count. Using her Special for escape purpose gives you the mind set to play safe.
Kyouko Sakura: "Crowd Control Meister"
Her normal and especially her strong attack safely covers in all specific directions.
At first I found her special to be useless but found out that it was to help her safely charge her Strong Attack.
Kaname Madoka: "Boss Killer"
Oh please don't tell me I'm not the only one who thinks she's like Rockman. Her Normal Attack is chargeable and can focus to one of 3 directions. While her Strong Attack is an effective Straight line penetrating single arrow shot. I dubbed her as a boss killer for her low cost Arrow Shower special.
Mami Tomoe: "Tricky Elegance"
The trickiest character in my opinion. I can only think of her forward [X] as her strongest trait. While her normal acts as both melee and mid range attack. She has the most double edge special though I can say it has the largest screen coverage attack.
Sayaka Miki: "Blue Saber"
Agile and mobility is her best asset while her attacks only focus in a minimal range but thanks to her moveset she dance and fight her enemies. My fingers are stressed using her really... If used wisely you can finish a stage with less soul consumption.

After defeating lap 26, I confirm HomuHomu is the best Meduka. She has everything to control the situation. The only down point is that she has the lowest soul limit which can easily KO you in higher lap. This game is so much fun, I wish that Tasofro will release an update for more stage and may be more character (Megane-HomuHomu and Homura with bow) in the future.
I do want to support the developers. This game deserve it. Does Tasofro sell their game via online?

I'm just not good with Mami. I just hate her move set, not enough range and her melee just isn't that good either.
Who do you guys think is best for WN? I tried Homura but I died a lot to the random stuff before the fight so I didn't get to her in good condition.
Edit: Nm used Madoka and got it pretty easily, her special is kind of OP.

Once you learn how to do mortar/grenade spam and rocket canceling with Homura, she is pretty powerful. Walburger Night is also the easiest boss in the game. Pretty easy to dodge everything, especially with Homura.
Also, the best way to play as Mami is to jump cancel her forward strong attack and up strong attack. She's still the hardest character to use but she becomes a lot more effective using cancels.

I really wish people wouldn't bash Mami in this game. It's like that's all I see everywhere I look, lol. She's the hardest to master and that's about it. Once you can master her she's downright amazing. Especially that Tiro Finale!
I feel like I'm the only one that feels that way. You can combo with her really well if you just know what the heck you're doing
I beat a few laps using just her in order to get better. Just takes time.
Mami = for the more skilled (or so I believe) :P

I like to use Mami. She's tricky to use, and one must be extra careful, deaths consume a lot of Soul Power. But she's great for juggling the enemies. And the full charged unlimited flintlocks works deals quite a punch.
I used to keep diying in WN, but's my fault, not Mami. Syndrome of Im-gonna-win-yeah!-crap-I-did-something-really-stupid-like-falling-in-the-hole! ><

The youthful Old Rochester-Fairhaven hockey team dug itself into a canyon-sized, four-goal hole in the first period — a hole it couldn't dig out of in an 8-1 loss to Blue Hills.
MARION — The youthful Old Rochester-Fairhaven hockey team dug itself into a canyon-sized, four-goal hole in the first period — a hole it couldn't dig out of in an 8-1 loss to Blue Hills Wednesday at Tabor academy.
The Bulldogs (1-2-1) trailed 3-0 before getting their first shot on goal against the bigger, stronger Warriors.
"This was probably the first game all year I thought, physically, we got beaten up," said ORR-Fairhaven head coach Eric Labonte. "We just didn't play well positionally in our own end in the first period, and quite frankly, didn't get the goaltending we needed either. That's a bad combination."
Blue Hills senior forward Josh Edwards netted a pair of goals four minutes apart midway through the first period, giving the Warriors a 2-0 lead. Teammate Kyle Moore wristed a shot past Bulldogs' freshman goalie Chris Nadeau from the faceoff circle on the left side of the ice, increasing the Blue Hills advantage to 3-0 with 5:04 left in the first period.
The Bulldogs finally got their first shot on goal with four minutes remaining in the opening period when junior forward Jacob Graham came up with a steal in the defensive end, but his bid was calmly stopped by Warrior netminder Austin Carrel.
With two minutes left in the first period, Edwards completed a hat trick when he uncorked a slapshot from center ice which whistled by Nadeau. Labonte opted to use freshman Derek Gibson in goal the rest of the game.
The second period was more evenly matched with both teams coming up with tallies. Sophomore forward Jeremy Lawton fed linemate Cam Severino, who snuck a shot into the Warriors' net, making the score 4-1 with 6:18 left in the second period. Blue Hills answered when junior Kyle Moore tapped in the rebound of an Edwards' bid, increasing the Warriors' advantage to 5-1.
"I thought the team competed in the second and third periods, but we are going to struggle to score goals all year," said Labonte. "If we can't keep the puck out of our net, we are going to be in trouble."
Blue Hills put the game away with three goals in the third period.
LABONTE ON HIS TEAMS' LACK OF OFFENSIVE FIREPOWER: "Ultimately, to put the puck in the net you need finishers. Sometimes we have good opportunities, we just can't put it in the net."
NOTES: The Bulldogs have scored more than two goals in a game once this season, a 3-2 victory over Dartmouth on Dec. 12. ... ORR-Fairhaven has seven freshmen and a trio of eighth-graders on its varsity roster. ... The Warriors outshot the Bulldogs 33-10 for the game.
UP NEXT: ORR-Fairhaven takes on Medfield Friday night at 6 p.m. in the Big Ham Cup. The tournament is being held at Gallo Rink in Bourne.

I've had a long-running conversation with a friend and reader of the Local about the lack of engagement we've had since the onset of summer. If you're a faithful reader of the Local's letters, you've definitely seen their volume fall to remarkable lows. Letters, which once filled up three to four news pages, now rarely need to be jumped from page 4.
My friend has been really surprised by the sudden evaporation of reader sentiment, particularly on fairly controversial subjects, such as the Bowman
Properties proposal to transform the old Magarity site into a Fresh Market grocery store and upscale condos (though the trend there seems to be reversing).
When you're out talking with Hillers, they're never short of an opinion on nearly everything, but when it comes to sharing that opinion, be it in print or in an online comment, they're nowhere to be found.
"What is in the water in 19118?" my friend asked a few weeks ago.
I said I'm not sure, but I do have a theory based on approximately 10 years of gathering and reporting news in Chestnut Hill. It's based largely on anecdote and experience rather than hard polling data, but despite the lack of science, I think it rings true. Hillers, on average, have always felt they had "more to lose" by sticking their necks out by expressing an opinion.
And now, with the mainstream adaptation of web publishing, Google Alerts (in which a company or institution is alerted every time its name is entered on an HTML page) and Facebook page checks by employers, peopleare particularly paranoid now that any words they share now may likely come back to haunt them.
The question if we accept that the theory is close to the truth is this: Should people be concerned?
On one hand, yes, people should be concerned. Their words and actions are likely not only to have a much further reach because of the Web, but they will also be recorded in perpetuity.
An online identity, however, can work two ways. Who you are online is no longer out of your control.
The average person now should not be focused so much on staying out of the press or from sharing opinions online according to a new book by "Internet optimist" Jeff Jarvis, author of "What Would Google Do."
In his new book, "Public Parts," Jarvis argues that the best defense is a good offense. You can now share and write in a way that can give you control of your online identity.
I think Jarvis' point is spot on. The ability of the average person to share online has never been better. From social networks like Facebook, Google+ and Twitter to simple blogging platforms like Blogger, Tumblr and WordPress, your online identity is what you make of it.
If you assume everything you put online is public, it's a pretty good place to start. With that in mind, you can create a record of statements and positions online that you can stand behind, plain and simple.
So yes, there is reason to be concerned. But there is also ample reason to be even more open, especially when you consider the alternative. If you're not in charge of your reputation or your online identity, somebody, or something else, will be.

A film star of Hollywood's golden age goes mild, in Straub's curiously bloodless debut.
Elsa Emerson, whose father owns and manages a Wisconsin summer stock playhouse, wasn't always destined for stardom. Her older sister, Hildy, is the one with the glamour, presence and grace. But when Hildy hangs herself after being jilted by an actor, Elsa's discovery of her sister's body forever alters her worldview. Just how, is the novel's task to reveal, and unfortunately it fails in that purpose. Elsa seems to drift into the various phases of her life. Having escaped Wisconsin by marrying fellow Hollywood-bound thespian Gordon, she gives birth to two daughters in quick succession and is consigned to housewifery while her husband achieves a modicum of success under contract to Gardner Brothers Studio. When Elsa meets Gardner mogul Irving Green, he sees her diva potential, renames her Laura Lamont and changes her Nordic blond looks to the persona of a sultry brunette. Gordon is quickly dispensed with, and she marries Irving, who provides security and an opulent house in Beverly Hills. By the time her son, Irving Junior, is born, Laura's career again takes a back seat, this time to a more luxurious domesticity—now even her husband is touting her for matronly roles. Although Laura wins an Oscar early on, there is scant other evidence of her celebrity status since we see mostly her home life. Already a passive character, she becomes more so after Irving's death. (He had a weak heart and was never robust.) She resorts to barbiturates to get her through her not-so-busy day. The tragedy of Irving's death compounds the psychic wounds opened by Hildy's suicide and more recently, her beloved father's passing. Although Straub's languid language convincingly conveys Laura/Elsa's inability to cope, the reader at times wishes this screen star would go less gently into the good night of the aging female in Hollywood.
A life in pictures, mostly out of focus.

Pac-12 Morning Five: Leap Day EditionPosted by AMurawa on February 29th, 2012
- It's the last day of February, a glorious time to be a college hoops fan, right? But for UCLA fans, not only are they on the verge of being on the outside looking in during the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years, but Sports Illustrated today publishes an "extremely negative" article about the Bruin basketball program. Pulitzer Prize winner George Dohrmann – author of "Play Their Hearts Out", among other things – will publish a piece today, which deals with the downfall of the program, from Final Four installation to Pac-12 also-ran. The bulk of the story deals with destructive behavior from a handful of players in UCLA's 2008 and 2009 classes (most notably – surprise! – Reeves Nelson), but plenty of blame is laid at the feet of head coach Ben Howland for not dealing with that behavior promptly or fairly. The content of the article certainly didn't live up to the fears that UCLA fans experienced on Tuesday, when they found out that Dohrmann, breaker of the Minnesota cheating scandal in 1999 and the Ohio State football scandal last season, was dropping a bombshell on the program, but certainly any negative article about the Bruins at this point is not a good thing for the long term prospects of Howland, already regarded as being potentially on the hot seat. Howland commented on Tuesday that he can't talk specifically about former players, and that "everybody makes mistakes, I'm definitely not perfect" but that he thinks he has "for the most part" handled things correctly. We'll have more on this story later today and in the future as events warrant.
- Sort of annoying that we have to deal with that kind of story right at the start of what should be about a month-long holiday for fans of the sport, so let's try to wipe away that story by focusing on some good stories. And there may be no better story in the Pac-12 this year than Arizona's Kyle Fogg. Fogg came from being an afterthought in the 2008 recruiting class, only signed by Lute Olson because the Wildcats were losing Jerryd Bayless after just one year, as well as a couple graduating seniors, and needed some "fresh blood." Now, four years later, Fogg is well on his way to becoming an All-Pac-12 performer and he already occupies spots in several Wildcat career top ten lists.
- Another senior who has come from relative obscurity to claim a spot as one of the conference's best players is Oregon senior guard Garrett Sim, who just got done torching in-state rival Oregon State, the alma mater of both of his parents, to the tune of 25 points on ten-of-14 shooting. And for one Duck fan, Sim is the perfect player for the home crowd to root for – not only effective, but eminently annoying to opposing teams and opposing fans. And yes, annoying is a good thing in this context.
- Sim has certainly turned it on as a senior, but California's Jorge Gutierrez has got the whole "thorn in the side to opposing teams" thing down pat after four years of experience. Even as a freshman, Gutierrez's relentless energy, hustle and defensive pestiness drove opposing fanbases crazy, but over the years, as the Golden Bear combo guard developed his game, he has earned grudging respect from up and down the conference. While just about every coach – save one – in the conference will be glad to see Gutierrez's eligibility expire, we'll certainly be missing a little fire in our game next season.
- Lastly, let's jump up to Washington State for one last bit of finding that silver lining, because as Jeff Nusser at CougCenter points out, this year's Cougar team actually improved offensively, despite the losses of Klay Thompson and DeAngelo Casto to the professional ranks a year early. Of course, what he fails to mention is that the WSU defense took a complete nose dive. They fell from 46th in the nation in defensive efficiency last year to 199th this year, propelled mainly by their inability to do anything particularly well on that end of the court; they're in the bottom half of the nation in opponent's effective field goal percentage and in forcing turnovers, while they're not a whole lot better than that in hitting the defensive glass or keeping their opponents off of the free throw line.

Looking For A MooseBook - 2008
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Four intrepid youngsters set out to find a moose–a long-leggy…branchy-antler, dinner-diving, bulgy-nose moose.
The kids in the book can't find a single moose -- but maybe your kids can? A great read-aloud -- kids can tromp, squish and scramble through the forest with the characters, and try to find the moose hidden in the pictures.
Fun illustrations as the children hunt for the moose
When you go out looking for a moose, remember to put on your hats and your boots because you never know what you might find! And remember to keep your eyes open when you are stomping through the woods or wading in the swamp or scrambling up the hillside. He might be lurking anywhere and you could miss him if you weren''t looking very carefully at these marvelous mooseful illustrations!

Honda Pilot, Civic Headlights Subject of Latest Honda Recall
- Recall affects 820,000 Honda Pilot and Civic models.
- Headlights can fail due to faulty wiring.
- The recall follows a similar action in March.
Honda recently announced the recall of around 820,000 Civic compacts and Pilot SUVs for a problem that can cause their headlights to fail. According to the automaker and the federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall affects 2002-2003 Civic and 2004-2005 Pilot models, and expands on an earlier recall that affected CR-V and Pilot crossovers.
According to NHTSA, the recall is necessary because a wiring problem in the headlight switch could cause low-beam headlights to fail in affected vehicles. Of course, this could limit a driver's ability to see the road at night, increasing the risk of injury and potentially leading to a collision. That's the same issue that led Honda to recall its 2002-2004 CR-V and 2003 Pilot back in March, which affected more than 550,000 vehicles.
Honda says it will mail recall notices to drivers of affected vehicles urging them to visit a dealership service department. Dealers will inspect vehicles and, if necessary, replace the headlight wiring system free of charge.
But for shoppers interested in a used Pilot or Civic--or for drivers who recently purchased one--getting recall information might not be as easy as checking the mail. Indeed, as cars change hands, it's challenging for automakers to get recall notices to second or third owners. Fortunately, Honda says drivers unsure about whether the recall includes their vehicle can call the automaker at 1-800-999-1009. Using a vehicle's VIN number, Honda can identify affected vehicles, providing peace of mind to concerned drivers.
The headlight action comes on the heels of another major recall from Honda announced just days ago. On Oct. 1, the automaker said it will recall more than 570,000 Acura TL sedans and 2003-2007 Honda Accord V6 models due to leaking power steering hoses that could cause fires. In that case, Honda is delaying the recalls into early next year as it waits for parts to fix the problem.
What it means to you: If you have a 2002-03 Honda Civic or 2004-05 Honda Pilot and you're concerned you might not get a recall notice, call Honda at 1-800-999-1009 to find out if the recall affects your vehicle.

Conclusions of the 2013 Strasbourg World Forum for Democracy
You are either missing or need to update your ADOBE Flash Player in order to see this video .

Political parties are losing the trust of our citizens, who are looking for ways and means to have their voice heard. Internet can offer such possibility, but is it also transforming the nature and functioning of democracy? More and more political and civic activities are moving online, but do citizens participate and influence decisions to a greater extent? Is there a risk that despite its positive potential, the use of digital communication technologies erode(s) civil and political rights, fragment(s) the democratic debate, and undermine(s) the capacity of representative institutions to shape a common position?
These questions were discussed by the 1000 participants from more than 100 countries who gathered in Strasbourg, France, on 27-29 November at the World Forum for Democracy "Rewiring democracy – connecting citizens and institutions in the digital age", organised jointly by the Council of Europe, the French government, the Alsace Region and the city of Strasbourg.
Discussions were based on real-life examples. The twenty-one Forum Labs analysed thirty three digital participation platforms and initiatives, assessing their impact and the potential risks they carry for human rights and the integrity of democracy. Many of them reinforce the legitimacy, transparency and responsiveness of the governing institutions and help re-build a relationship of trust between citizens and their representatives. Others bring direct democracy elements into the representative system and create tension which may in turn reshape the institutional architecture of democracy.
These new developments do not, for the moment, constitute an alternative to representative democracy. Politics online is still mostly politics as usual. Digital communication tools have not so far produced a dramatic increase in public participation or trust in representative institutions, neither have they hailed the end of these institutions. However, the speed and scope of change are great, and we need to make sure that it reinforces, rather than weakening, democracy. In order to do so, the Forum pointed to some crucial tasks ahead of us:
- Encourage/promote change in political parties to enable greater openness, transparency, accountability and responsiveness to grassroots input, including by exploiting e-initiatives
- ensure that e-participation schemes are transparent, auditable, and accountable to participants and the wider community and in conformity with the highest standards on protection of privacy
- step up media literacy to enable citizens to make full use of the opportunities of digital technology for self-empowerment and participation in political processes.
These tasks require strong partnerships between international and national actors, the CoE is ready to play its part and welcomes other partners in joining efforts to address these challenges.
The Forum participants awarded the Council of Europe Prize for Democratic innovation to Women Of Uganda Network (WOUGNET).

Cybersecurity has been a growing problem across industries, but it is especially troubling in mining. Since 2010, there have been major cyber attacks at 22 mining companies.1 Motivations for breaches have ranged from derailing an M&A transaction to stealing intellectual property and personal information.2
A 2016 report from the Symantec security firm highlights the mining sector's risks.3 For example, mining ranks Number 1 among industries when it comes to receiving spam email. And about 1 in 3 industry emails will contain a virus. (See Figure 1.)
What can miners do? One answer lies in an emerging digital technology known as "blockchain." Blockchain allows individuals to sign contracts electronically, without having to rely on a trusted third party—such as a bank—to verify the contract's validity. That validation is handled automatically and electronically. Blockchain is a digital ledger that keeps a record of every transaction,4 and safely encrypts that information. And by eliminating the need for a middleman, it reduces the exposure of data to hackers. Financial services companies are already exploring the use of blockchain to automate and record transactions.5
Blockchain could add a new dimension of security for miners. But that's not all. It could also help drive productivity improvements in areas such as:
Often, productivity and security are seen as conflicting demands in business. But blockchain technology offers the potential to improve both. And now is the time for miners to see how it can work for them.

Sabina Low (Green)
Born: March 21, 1922
Ulanow, Poland
Sabina was one of four children born to a Jewish family in the Polish town of Ulanow. Her father was a landowner and cattle merchant in the area. The Jewish community in Ulanow was active, with many of its own organizations and a large library. Sabina attended public school in the morning and a private Jewish school in the afternoon.
1933-39: The public school was open Saturdays, but since it was the Jewish Sabbath, we didn't attend. We'd ask our Christian classmates for the homework assignments for Monday, but their parents would refuse to let them tell us. I didn't understand it. Classmates often threw stones at us. War broke out on September 1, 1939. We heard screaming every night as groups of Poles entered Jewish houses and took what they wanted.
1940-44: Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941 and occupied Ulanow. In fall 1942 we heard gunfire near the town. I went to see what was going on. My uncle's house was nearby so I went there. When I arrived, my uncle was lying behind his house, shot several times. His stomach was torn open. He was still conscious. I searched for something to cover him with and found a pillow inside. When I picked it up, out tumbled a dead child, my cousin. As I covered my uncle he said, "I pray that you'll survive."
Later, aided by false papers, Sabina fled to Stry. She remained until the Soviet army liberated the area in late 1944. She moved to Israel in 1957 and came to the United States in 1960.

Surface detractions on this set of Diamond Magnas is minimal to moderate, principally from storage and not from service.

Blogging the Caine Prize: An Introduction
Aaron Bady has come up with a great idea: since the Caine Prize for African Writing will be awarded in five weeks, and there are five short stories nominated, why not write about one story a week until the award?
I'm going to throw myself into this, because I think the Caine Prize is important, and the exercise could be fun. I hope lots of other folks will join in.
Here are the nominated stories, all available online as PDFs:
- NoViolet Bulawayo (Zimbabwe) 'Hitting Budapest' from 'The Boston Review' Vol 35, no. 6 - Nov/Dec 2010 [or direct link to the story at Boston Review]
- Beatrice Lamwaka (Uganda) 'Butterfly dreams' from 'Butterfly Dreams and Other New Short Stories from Uganda' published by Critical, Cultural and Communications Press, Nottingham, 2010
- Tim Keegan (South Africa) 'What Molly Knew' from 'Bad Company' published by Pan Macmillan SA, 2008
- Lauri Kubuitsile (Botswana) 'In the spirit of McPhineas Lata' from 'The Bed Book of Short Stories' published by Modjaji Books, SA, 2010
- David Medalie (South Africa) 'The Mistress's Dog' from 'The Mistress's Dog: Short stories 1996-2010' published by Picador Africa, 2010
[Update: My contributions: On "Hitting Budapest", On "Butterfly Dreams", On "What Molly Knew", On "In the Spirit of McPhineas Lata", On "The Mistress's Dog". Then a final post after the award was announced.]
To begin, though, and as an introduction, here's a review I wrote of Ten Years of the Caine Prize for African Writing, for the winter 2010/11 print issue of Rain Taxi.

The graduation of the Class of 2012 a few months back has left the Mount St. Joseph Academy volleyball team with holes to fill all around the court. Among those who departed were super libero Regina Trabosh (daughter of sixth-year head coach George Trabosh), who is now playing for Temple University, and dangerous outside hitter Kasey Cannon, who went on to Washington & Lee University in Virginia.
The Magic also graduated a second outside attacker, a middle hitter, and a setter from a franchise that went 15-5 overall in 2011 and finished second in the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies. The Mounties split their two head-to-head bouts with champion St. Basil's, but the Panthers ran the table in the rest of the league while the Magic remained one game back in the win column due to a loss to Gwynedd Mercy Academy early in the season.
Coming back for the Mount this year are just four players who were on the 2011 varsity throughout the fall, although several others swung up from JV later in the season.
The senior co-captains are outside hitter Maddy Good and setter Marissa McBride. Junior Moira Mulholland is a formidable force on the outside, and sophomore Sarah Thomas, the only freshman to become a full-time varsity player last year, brings six-foot stature to the middle of the front row.
Most of the other athletes on the roster were members of the JV squad last year, although some got some varsity experience. Aside from the captains, the seniors are setter Gwyn Kieffer, outside Meaghan Kiernan, defensive specialist Dominique Pacitti, and versatile utility player Kiki Saraceni.
Among the juniors are setter Sam Eberle and the Zakrzewski twins, Caroline (outside), and Elizabeth (right side). Sophomore Monica DeIenno is a defensive specialist, and freshman Alexandra Uzzo could swing up to contribute in some varsity matches.
As usual, the Mount should see heated competition right within its own league, thanks to teams like Basil's, Gwynedd, and longtime power Villa Maria. The Magic swept the Villa Hurricanes last season, but had to go to a fifth game to nail down the second of those victories.

Chalet Chenus Reviews
Just finished up a great week here! 19/03/17-26/03/17, It was amazing! the host David and Gillian, Were absolutely amazing! The food was on point! and my word the afternoon cake was incredible! perfect for after a hard session on the slopes! The hospitality that they offered was second to none! It was a pleasure staying here! The Location is about 1 minute walk to a decent freshly groomed piste (red) which takes you down to a chair lift, It's about 10 minutes walk down hill into town, and about 15-20 uphill back, But rather catch the ski-bus, a lot easier! The resort it's self is decent! pretty lively, Only downside very expensive! paid 13.90 for a pint! but there are a few hidden gems lying scattered around, Just follow the locals! also a lot cheaper! Ski-bus also can take you down to 1650 for cheaper and more lively atmosphere.
Apres Ski: 3/5
Accommodation & Value: 5/5

Our other four children seemed normal. Their grades were above average; they had good health; they got along fine with their playmates.
Tim was different, however. In many areas he excelled. He could run faster, stay underwater longer and climb trees higher than all the others. He was remarkably coordinated with amazing reflexes and a deep instinct for doing the right thing. He made friends with every kid in the neighborhood—especially those who were handicapped or had problems. And animals. He could talk to them. When they talked back, he understood.
But he couldn't read. By the time he completed his first year in school we knew something was wrong. We had enrolled him in a Christian school where he repeated first grade. It was a disaster. He was no further along than when he was in kindergarten. We had him tested by the school psychologist. Although he had a high IQ, the tests indicated he had certain learning disabilities which hindered him in reading and writing.

He gave us a term which we've lived with ever since: dyslexia. It's a Latin word which means "can't read." We put him under a reading specialist, had him tutored, sent him to expensive clinics, even put him in corrective glasses for a year. We enrolled him in a class where he spent agonizing hours putting pegs in holes, walking balance beams and crawling under ropes stretched low to the ground.
We finally took him to a Kathryn Kuhlman healing service. Nothing seemed to be working. We put him back in public school but the teachers did not seem to be able to do much with him. A dear friend arranged to have him leave school for a few hours each day so she could tutor him privately, but progress was slow.
The public school merely advanced him along with his class even though he could barely read and write. I remember the afternoon he came in from school, ran through the house and went straight to his room. I followed him down the hall but he had locked his bedroom door.
When I opened it with a key I found him in bed, his bright orange bedspread pulled all the way up under his chin. Two small peaks at the foot of the bed told me he had not even taken off his shoes. He lay staring at the ceiling, his eyes brimming with tears. "I don't want to go back to school anymore, Daddy," he sobbed. "I can't read the stuff the teacher puts on the board and she fusses at me."
I understood. How many times in my life—when I had been criticized for failure—had I wanted to do that: climb into bed with my clothes on, pull the covers up to my chin and sob. But I was a grown man. All I could do was share his feeling of desperation. When he was in the fourth grade, I realized I could not depend on anyone else to help him.
It was up to God. And me. My part was to pray. God's part was to heal. Gradually, I came to understand that while God could heal him instantly, He had more in mind. He wanted to teach me how to pray for my son—and He wanted my son to learn how to receive my love and appreciate my prayers.
For the next 10 years, I never missed a night, if I was home, going into his room when he went to bed, sitting on the side of the bed, and talking and praying with my son. The talking was important. I wanted him to know, regardless of the fact he had a problem, that his mom and dad—and his brother and sisters—were proud of him.
We did not blame him for his problem nor did we see him as different from the other children. In our eyes he was simply our son. If he'd had a bad day, or if we'd had to spank him for misbehavior, I encouraged him before he went to sleep. I wanted him to know he was loved, needed and appreciated in our family.
I wanted the last thoughts that entered his mind before he went to sleep—the thoughts which would influence his subconscious during the night—to he positive thoughts. But even though it was our loving encouragement which kept him well-adjusted socially, it was our prayers which brought the healing.
He finally finished high school, thanks to a splendid teacher who took him on as a special project. Even so, he was only reading at a fourth grade level when he graduated. A hard and willing worker, he got a job as a laborer and married his high school sweetheart.
One evening he stopped by the house. "Dad, always be a common laborer unless I go to college like the other kids in the family. I want to go to agriculture college and learn to work with animals." All the odds were against him, but Jackie and I encouraged him.
So did his wife, Kathie, who said she could read his books to him in the evenings. He picked the college and, with Kathie's help, filled out the application blanks. He needed a full year of remedial work before starting on credit subjects.
It was a massive struggle, mastering difficult texts in hor-ticulture, animal anatomy and farm management. But he persevered—and God answered prayer. When he graduated last fall, he was reading at college level.
Today he holds a highly responsible job as a ranch manager in Forsyth, Ga. When we visited him recently, he took us through the pasture, pointing out various cattle, calling some by name. His two little boys—T.J. and Dusty—rode with us in the back of the station wagon, giving a running commentary on fertilizers, artificial insemination and feeding programs.
Tim's 26 this month. Proud of him? You bet! And we're grateful to a loving God who answers the prayers of parents for children.

article about: http://arstechnica.com/information-t...r-low-mileage/
Remember that Dennis Hopper, cult classic movie: "Riders of the Storm"?
(the rest of the movie is on Youtube, if you haven't seen it)
slightly more realistic, there is some good legal news about personal drones;
FAA cant regulate small RC aircraft as drones, judge rules
NTSB judge strikes down $10,000 fine against man for unlicensed "commercial use."
There is LPFM which allows broadcasts in the FM band as long as it's not too powerful. Dreaming further, how about a towed array to launch smoke signals, dot-matrix style!
Swarms of drones can also spell out messages, with correct formations.
Any other ideas?

Perfect Pitch: Music and Pre-Race Excitement
"Carry on my wayward son. There'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest. Don't ya cry no more."
The lyrics to Kansas' timeless classic drifted above the crowd of tens of thousands of race fans at NH Motor Speedway on a cloudy day in June of 2008. The joint was jumping to the supergroup from the 1970s that still tours to this day. You could hear people sing along when the band performed "Dust in the Wind".
Pre-race brings in major acts from today and yesterday, and if speed drives the excitement of the race, then music drives the anticipation during the pre-race concerts.
If you've never been to see a live race, then you've never enjoyed an outdoor concert quite like the one we put on for the crowd in the grandstands every year. The tractor trailers pull the stage right to the center of the front stretch, the speakers aim in every direction and the music lifts the spirits.
NHMS Events loves to mix it up year to year. Our fans clearly enjoy a variety of music, from country to classic rock and many things in between. That's why fans have enjoyed so many different styles of music groups over the years.
"We have so many great groups to pick from," explains Jessica Ferreira, Director of Events at NHMS. "We like to spread the joy. One year, we will pick a classic southern rock band, and then we'll come back with one of the rising stars in country, and after that, we'll do something completely different like host a game show and give away ten Toyotas. It's never the same."
FOGHAT, Three Dog Night, O.A.R, Travis Tritt, Montgomery Gentry and Steel Magnolia are just a few of the major names that have revved up the audience before the green flag flew.
"Well I don't miss much if it happens on the dance hall floor. Mercy look what just walked through that door. Hello T-R-O-U-B-L-E, tell me what are you doing A-L-O-N-E?"
That Travis Tritt song had 'em dancing along the fence line back in September of 2012. The southern boys have a strong following up in New England. The aluminum seats were shaking when Montgomery Gentry belted out their hit "Where I Come From."
"Where I come from there's a preacher man in a cowboy shirt. Where I come from, a couple boys fight in the parking lot, nobody's gonna call the cops where I come from."
Last year, one of the nation's top young rock groups made a first ever race day appearance in Loudon. O.A.R performed their Top 40 hit "Shattered".
"How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line, can't define what I'm after, I always turn the car around."
The flute in the song "Can't You See" by Marshall Tucker Band echoed around the grandstands in July of 2012.
Three Dog Night had us wash away our troubles with the rain and "Shambala" in the summer of 2009.
Over the years Eddie Rabbit, Vince Neal, 38-Special, and Diamond Rio have all entertained the masses on Sprint Cup Sunday at NHMS. This year, we have new faces on the rolling stage. Recycled Percussion will wow the crowd when it performs things you have NEVER seen before on a stage. It's loud, it's cool, and it's kind of like watching a construction / demolition crew turn all of its tools into a rock concert. It is like nothing you have ever seen before.
You can catch Recycled Percussion from your seats, and trust me it will look and sound amazing. But there's a way you can get as close as you want. You can buy pre-race pit passes, which give you racetrack access to the show. Stand on the Granite Stripe, right next to the stage and sing along like you are part of the performance. Get more information on pre-race access here.

Q: Dear Annie, what's a sentimental crafty little gift I can give my boyfriend for Valentine's Day?
Smitten in the Mitten,
A: Hiya Jordan. Ain't love grand? You're probably so twitterpated you can't stop staring into Mr. Wonderful's eyes (aka: SOUL) long enough to get out to the store and buy tokens of affection. This is a good thing for two reasons: 1. You shouldn't drive and stare at your lover at the same time, it's dangerous. 2. Who needs storebought crappy pap like M&Ms with pictures of your face on them (creepy) and pink bubble bath (that in the words of my sister, "will make your butt itch") when you've got ME to come up with swell homespun ideas for you?
So here's some gift advice for all you lovers out there:
A cute n'easy way to say "I love you" or "I really like you" or "You're ok" is to personalize a children's book that is about love or Valentine's Day– just a short little cute one that relates to you guys as a couple. Purchase it (this step is important because you're going to vandalize it) and then write personal notes on some of the pages. I've done this with several boyfriends, and only most of them ended up dumping me. And almost none of them hated the gift because it revealed them to be illiterate.
2. Another take on this is to make a Have You Seen My Heart Valentine. Take a kid's/coloring/sticker book (preferably one that is Valentine's themed) and "hide" heart stickers in different places on the pages: like under a table, in a tree, etc. Throughout the book, you can write "Have you seen my heart?" "Is it inside the stove?" "Is it…" and on the last page, "Oh! YOU have my heart!" It's cheesy, but, c'mon, it's Valentines Day. And it's a great way to let someone in a new relationship know you've fallen for them without actually working up the nerve to tell them you've fallen for them.
What about DIY scratch-off lottery tickets? You can make them with silver paint and dish soap (I've never done it but I want to) and write little love notes that your lovah can scratch off. Dollar Store Crafts has a great tutorial. Make the notes he/she/he-she reveals sweet ("You've won 5 million KISSES Schmoopy!") or saucy ("I'm wearing scratch off underwear too") or political ("Stop buying lottery tickets, it's a ploy by the government to get you to believe in false hopes, ask Kanye").
If you want to go more on the naughty side of Valentine's Day, you could make a Do Not Disturb doorknob sign…You could even set your house up like a hotel and make your sweetheart leave money on the dresser. Just for kicks.
Chocolates have "been done" on Valentine's Day, but I found a post on Nifty Thrifty Things for how to make your own Baileys, which would be delicious! Find a roaring fireplace or television that's warm from being on so long and cuddle up with your homemade brew and your sweetheart. Sounds delightful.
Well, Jordan, I wish you and yours a lovely V-day. Let me know what you end up doing, unless it's dirty.
Here's a video for those of you who read the title of this post and got excited about seeing the "Show Me Love" video by Robyn and just scrolled to the end. I don't dissappoint.

To defeat an enemy, know its lifestyle, where it works and its secret hiding places. That's what researchers have done in a 10-year battle against two insects that bore into grassy crops such as rice, sugarcane, sorghum and corn.
"I think we're winning the battle," said Dr. Mo Way, Texas AgriLife Research entomologist in Beaumont. "But it's a continuing battle, so that is why the research is needed."
Way and a colleague, Dr. Gene Reagan, professor of entomology at Louisiana State University, joined forces a decade ago – though the Mexican rice borer was found only partly across the Texas rice belt and not in neighboring Louisiana – in hopes of getting ahead of the damaging, yield-reducing pest. Several discoveries from their work – showcased at a site visit with farmers and commodity leaders in late September – can be summed up: these once dreaded bugs are not as "boring" as when they first entered Texas from Mexico in 1980.
And that's a good thing because, as Way and Reagan put in the proceedings from their 10th annual site visit, "the Mexican rice borer is the most destructive insect pest of sugarcane in North America" and can cause "as much as a 50-percent yield loss in commercial Texas rice fields."
Since 1980, the Mexican rice borer has advanced about 12 miles a year through Texas and on into Louisiana where it now exists in five of that state's parishes. Along the way, it bored into sugarcane, sorghum, rice and corn in devastating proportions. "I remember going down to the Rio Grande Valley in 1981 or 82 and seeing sugarcane fields that were just totally brown at the end of the summer, and it didn't make any sense," Reagan said. "We'd go in the field and start cutting up stalks, and we'd get 20 to 30 larvae of the Mexican rice borer in one stalk."
Way and Reagan knew that the pest travels as a moth and lays its eggs on leaves. The eggs hatch and larvae dig into the stalk to develop as caterpillars before feasting their way through the grassy crops common along the Gulf Coast. So the two researchers went to the entomological equivalent of a war room – the rice and sugarcane trial fields around Beaumont – and also strung a line of snares across the region to trap and mark the pest's advance.
Proactive approach
"The term I would probably use is proactive. In most research programs, certainly in agriculture, we always have to do reactive work. When you have an emergency problem, you've got to deal with it," Reagan said. "But if you know you're going to have a problem in a few years, why not start making plans on how you're going to manage and how you're going to deal with it?"
But to complicate the matter, a similar insect, the sugarcane borer, invades the same areas and crops, yet has unique traits and lifestyle that must be controlled differently from the Mexican rice borer. So the team had to factor both pests while exploring ways for farmers to manage for the least damage to crops.
"The losses can be significant, so that's why the farmers and the whole scientific community is involved in developing solutions," Way said, describing how the caterpillar hides inside a stalk where typical chemicals cannot reach and eats the tissue with an appetite that grows as the insect gets bigger."Once they are inside the stem, they are very difficult to control because they are protected from natural control agents," he said, "so that is one of the reasons they can be a serious pest."
But over the years, Way and Reagan said, a "myriad number of solutions" have been proven effective for farmers. Their research, funded in large part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has found which varieties of each crop are least susceptible to the borers, and the best time for farmers to plant to avoid the insects' life cycle.
"The later the planting date in rice, usually the more damage," Way said. The researchers also discovered the cutting height on the season's first crop of rice can affect borer populations in the second, or ratoon, crop that year. "Basically, the lower the cutting height, the less damage from the stalk borers on the next crop," Way said. "And that also reduces populations on an area-wide basis beyond the individual farm."
Certain chemicals may work at specific times in the insect's life cycle, which the researchers have determined to help farmers know whether to go to the expense of applying insecticide. Way said research determined the timing as well as the rates for chemicals in both rice and sugarcane. Other methods that have come from the field tests include treatment of the volunteer plants along the field edges to destroy weed hosts. "This research fits the concept of long-term management of an insect," Reagan said. "If you've got an insect that feeds on a whole bunch of different plants -- crops and non-crops -- then you need to take into consideration all the different aspects of the biology. If you can find some vulnerable part on the biology of the insect – maybe on some crop or some weed that is necessary for it to complete its life cycle -- then that might be a great opportunity for management of the insect.
"It's going to be a continuing effort. We certainly know a lot of things we can do now. But there are always going to be other types of continuing management needs. Though we've conducted a lot of work so far, there still is a lot to do to manage these insects."

WORCESTER, Mass. – In its first NEWMAC match of the season, the MIT women's volleyball topped host WPI, 25-11, 25-7, 22-25, 25-12, on Tuesday night. With the win, the Engineers improved to 9-4 on the year and 1-0 in conference play.
Freshman Megan Gebhard (Howell, Mich.) led the way with 10 kills to go along with a .450 hitting percentage and two blocks. Junior Jenny Astrachan (Austin, Texas) posted seven kills while senior Kristine Bunker (Austin, Texas) totaled six kills, a .714 hitting performance, three blocks, and two aces. Senior Emma Gargus (Columbus, Ohio) racked up five aces, followed by three from freshman Jennie Glerum (Redmond, Wash.). Freshman Tori Wuthrich (Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.) collected 15 digs as senior Tatiana Berger (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) contributed five digs to MIT's cause. Junior Nicole Gagnier (Atlanta, Ga.) tallied 20 assists, five digs, and three aces while classmate Morgan Stewart (Powell, Ohio) tacked on two blocks.
Holding a 4-3 edge in the opening set, the Engineers used an 8-2 spurt to gain some breathing room. Following a WPI timeout, the hosts captured the next point but MIT responded with an 11-2 run to go up, 23-8. An exchange of points ensued until a Glerum kill secured the win for the Engineers.
After recording a service error in the second stanza that brought WPI within four (6-2), MIT mounted a 17-4 run to gain control of the set. Both sides posted a service error before a ball-handling error ended the frame for the Engineers.
The third set was closely played as it featured 10 ties with the last deadlock occurring at 16. A pair of miscues along with an ace gave WPI a three-point cushion. MIT came within one on two occasions, as a kill by Astrachan made the score, 20-19. WPI countered with four straight points; however, a pair of errors and an Astrachan strike narrowed the gap to 24-22. The Engineers couldn't extend the set any further as WPI converted on its next attacking attempt to force an additional frame.
MIT jumped out to a 9-2 lead in the fourth set and didn't look back as back-to-back aces by Gargus gave it a 22-10 advantage and prompted a timeout by WPI. The host Engineers registered a pair of kills following the break but MIT capitalized on an error, a Glerum ace, and a Gebhard block to close out the match.
MIT continues NEWMAC action on Saturday, Sept. 21 when it hosts Springfield College.

I need a logo that conveys either an "underground" feel or an "empowering" feel.
Real Deal Dance Marketing
I need a logo that conveys a feeling of "underground" or "no b.s." type of a thing.
It has to convey the fact that the guerrilla style marketing system I have WORKS.
Or, I would also consider a log that has an "empowering" feel to it. The concept is that you have a light and you spread it around.
It would like it to deal with dance, as that's what I'm marketing for, but you have to make sure that it doesn't box me into a particular style of dance.
- For example, if you put a hip hop style dancer, they might think it doesn't apply to ballroom styles of dance. It needs to have a universal type feel that deals with dance.
BONUS: If you can work BOTH the underground and the empowered feeling into, that would great! I know it might be a little impossible but I just thought I'd throw that out there.
- Text logo with build on the words 'real deal dance marketing'- Optional: Some sort of design element.- Use the following color combinations. You are not obligated to use all of them however: #000000, #9b0012, #f69930, #32a30d, 2d65c2, #ffffff, #da383e (you can use colors that are fairly close to those as well.)- I tend to favor minimalistic and solid color designs - I would prefer a web 2.0 look but not too plasticy
- A corporate feel logo- web 2.0 is good. too plasticy is bad- nothing too busy or with a ton of gradients
