Lt. Michael Whaley, of the 14th Police District, told a handful of residents at Wednesday night's Police Sector Area (PSA) 4 meeting held at Lutheran Theological Seminary, 7301 Germantown Ave., that burglaries for July were down.
"Thanks to the efforts of the newspapers, block captains and citizens that have been showing up at these meetings, we have been getting a lot of direct feedback from citizens calling to report suspicious behavior," Whaley said.
Whaley said three burglaries occurred in PSA 4. They took place on the 8000 block of Seminole Avenue, the 500 block of East Mt. Airy Avenue, and the 500 block of Roumfort Road.
Despite the recent decrease in burglaries, a Chestnut Hill resident, whose neighborhood was recently burglarized, said several homeowners on her block feel totally isolated because they live in a "dead zone." The problem is that in certain areas of Chestnut Hill officers' radios don't work.
The woman, who asked not to be identified, said over the years neighbors have met with police officers but nothing has ever changed. She added that several years ago four out of eight houses on her block were burglarized.
"We were told by police then that they knew it was a problem and were working on the issue," she said.
Recently, her next door neighbor was robbed in the middle of the day. The burglars used a crowbar to gain access to the house.
"I heard him go into the house, but I thought it was the lawn guy," she said.
Whaley told attendees if they see anyone suspicious call 911.
"It's always better to be on the safe side," Whaley said.
"We are a very vigilant neighborhood," she replied. "We have been trying to work with the system for years. It's frustrating because we know the radios don't work. It's kind of ridiculous."
In the past, she said some officers have told her to get a gun.
Whaley said he called downtown and inquired about dead zones in Chestnut Hill.
He was told that "no repairs or new towers are being built at this time."
Whaley suggested that residents contact their elected officials and make them aware of the situation.
The woman said, "Unfortunately, until something happens to them (the other residents), they are not as invested."
Robbery arrest
Police arrested Eric Rawls, 37, and Shelvell Freeman, 27, both of Tacoma Street in Germantown, on July 3 on the 8100 block of Germantown Avenue for allegedly robbing a 31-year-old woman on the 8500 block of Shawnee Street on July 1. .
According to the police report, the Chestnut Hill resident was walking down the 8500 block of Shawnee Street when a man approached from behind, pointed a gun at her and demanded she give him her purse and wedding ring. After she gave him the items, he fled on foot. The woman walked home and immediately called police.
Police charged Rawls and Freeman with robbery, simple assault, terroristic threats, criminal conspiracy, violation of the Uniform Firearms Act and other related offenses.
A 22-year-old man was walking with a friend on the 1500 block of Greenwood Avenue in Mt. Airy at approximately 10:29 p.m. on July 15 when shots were fired from a blue Buick, according to Officer Jillian Russell, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia Police Department.
The unidentified man was shot in the back and the left leg and foot. He was transported to Einstein Hospital. No arrests have been made.
Thefts from automobiles
While crime in PSA 4 is down compared to the rest of the district, Whaley said there has been a dramatic increase in the number of thefts from autos in Chestnut Hill and parts of Mt. Airy.
"We just want to remind people not to leave valuables in their car especially laptops, cell phones and money," Whaley said.
Also, he asked residents to call 911 if they see a White Nissan Altima 2011 to 2013 with a Pennsylvania license plate number HZR2483. He said the vehicle, which is wanted in connection with a string of burglaries in Philadelphia, was last seen near the 500 block of E. Mermaid Lane on June 26. Police pursued the vehicle but were unable to continue a high speed chase throughout a local neighborhood.
Before the meeting ended, Whaley reiterated the importance of being proactive in fighting crime. He asked residents not to hesitate to call 911 if something looks suspicious. He also encouraged residents to contact Crime Prevention Officer Lesinette Ortiz at 215-685-2147 to get a free assessment of their property or participate in SafeCam, a program in which residents register their video surveillance cameras with the police, or Operation ID, a property identification program.
The next PSA 4 crime meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 21, at the Water Tower Recreation Center, 209 East Hartwell Lane. For more information call the 14th Philadelphia Police District at 215-686-3140.

The very observant people who run a Beyoncé fan site noticed that Nicki Minaj's Twitter avatar was actually a photo of Beyoncé with Minaj's face (poorly) Photoshopped on top.
It was likely someone in Minaj's camp that did it, as we're guessing that the singer doesn't spend her time doctoring pictures of herself in Photoshop. And there are a few weird things about the situation. The first is that it's not like this is a particularly iconic image of Beyoncé—like say, the Crazy in Love album cover—to which Minaj would be making some kind of referential tribute. Added to that, after it was pointed out, the photo was removed from Minaj's Twitter account with no acknowledgment that it was a joke or a mistake or anything. And if it was a mistake, and Minaj thought that it was a legitimate photo of herself, it is so bizarre that she didn't remember that she never actually looked like that.

England avoid series whitewash
Joe Root's second one-day international century helped England stave off a Royal London Series whitewash their captain Alastair Cook could ill afford.
Cook, beset by critics convinced he is not the right man to lead England to next year's World Cup, was indebted to Root in a total of 294 for seven which proved 41 runs too many for India at Headingley, and salvaged a 3-1 rather than 4-0 series defeat.
Root became the only Yorkshireman to hit an ODI hundred on his home ground, in his first match there in this format for his country.
Joe Root's century proved key for England in their 41-run victory over India
His career-best 113 was a triumph of composure, and vindication of the methods for which Cook's England have been vilified in some quarters - accumulation, complemented by late acceleration to push his strike rate above 100, and serve the situation ideally.
India then lost two early wickets to James Anderson, and although Ravindra Jadeja (87) and Ambati Rayudu (53) narrowed the margins as the world champions targeted James Tredwell and Ben Stokes, they never appeared to be on course for a fourth successive win.
Opener Ajinkya Rahane fell in the tamest fashion, pushing an innocuous delivery straight and with no power to point, and then Anderson took Virat Kohli's wicket for the fifth time this summer - neatly caught at slip by Cook.
Shikhar Dhawan was bowled aiming a sweep at Moeen Ali; Suresh Raina was caught-behind cutting at the off-spinner, and - having been dropped at third-man by Chris Woakes off the luckless Steve Finn on just six, Rayudu eventually mistimed an attempted big hit at Stokes (three for 47) to Cook at mid on.
India's hopes hinged on Mahendra Singh Dhoni's ability to inspire a fightback.
But when Finn's fortunes changed, the India captain just about reaching a slow long hop which might otherwise have been called a wide and cutting it off the bottom of the bat to point, even Jadeja could not keep the tourists in it.
The left-handed number seven nonetheless saved his best for last and had hit two sixes and nine fours when he was last out, playing on to Finn in the penultimate over.
Root had earlier played with characteristic bustle but also patience, a commodity very few of England's detractors have counselled in recent times.
He hit 10 fours and three sixes from 108 balls, his second maximum a slog-sweep off Jadeja to go to three figures.
His century stand, England's first of their hugely disappointing series, with Jos Buttler for the fifth wicket was the key to the hosts' innings after they had been put in just as morning cloud cover began to disperse.
On a good pitch, but one which offered plenty of help too to the slow bowlers, England had to contend with 26 overs of spin - an opposition element which has previously stopped them in their tracks for the past two weeks.
It was seam, though, which soon eliminated Alex Hales and then Moeen Ali as their attempts to dominate from the outset came to little.
Opener Hales mistimed a pull high for a simple catch to midwicket off Umesh Yadav, and Moeen - pushed up the order to number three in place of Gary Ballance - carved Bhuvneshwar Kumar straight to third man.
Cook had begun with off-side fours off the back foot from only the third and fifth deliveries he faced in Kumar's first over.
He flirted with the slips too, though, twice in his first 23 runs edging aerially through them for four - while Root soon appeared to be relishing the occasion, hitting five boundaries in his first 22 runs.
Cook's luck ran out four short of his 50 when, after the introduction of spin at both ends, his attempted sweep at Raina looped apologetically into Dhoni's gloves.
Eoin Morgan never got started against the turning ball and was stumped as he lurched towards Ravi Ashwin - and in 18 'middle overs' of unbroken spin, England could muster only 66 for two.
Root kept his cool, though, and had power to add alongside Buttler.
They plundered 55 in the batting powerplay, including five fours and three sixes - and by the time Buttler ran himself out for 49, England had the basis for a total approaching 300.
Root eventually paddled a catch to short fine-leg off Mohammed Shami, but his skill and the impetus provided by Buttler and Stokes' late hitting had given Cook the breathing space he so badly needed.

text: ANFO Pacifica Debuts New Single-Phase CIP Detergent April 3, 2013 12:33 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email Source: ANFO Pacifica Dairy producers in the western U.S. now have access to a single-phase cleaner that saves water without sacrificing cleaning power. ANFO, available from ANFO Pacifica, is phosphate-free and has been shown to be effective at removing the toughest buildup in milking systems, including residue from teat sealants. ANFO One effectively removes organic solids, minerals, iron, fats and proteins from milk contact surfaces in milking systems. Its cleaning power helps dairy producers manage bacteria counts (both PI and SPC) at the same level or even better than traditional full-cycle detergents despite using less water. The advanced cleaning technology of ANFO One single-phase detergent decreases water use by combining the detergent and acid cycles. This reduction of water use also saves energy that would have otherwise been necessary to heat the water. Finally, overall system cleaning time is reduced. This means fewer employee hours must be dedicated to cleaning the milking system, there is less system downtime and more cows can be moved through the parlor without the expense of adding or updating costly equipment. ANFO One is a high-performance, single-phase detergent that is a blend of organic and mineral acids. It is designed to replace standard alkaline, chlorinated detergents in CIP system cleaning applications. Because it is chlorine free, it reduces wear on system parts, including rubber goods, seals, gaskets and flexible joints. ANFO One is available through ANFO dealers in the western United States. As with all ANFO products, it is backed by the application expertise of ANFO milk quality experts who regularly visit the dairy to ensure that each milking system is cleaning to its highest potential. Since 1919, ANFO Pacifica has provided cleaning, hygiene, sanitation, and animal-care products that help dairy producers improve milk quality and safety. It serves dairy producers in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington. More information can be found here. firstname.lastname@example.com Back to news

Jose Mourinho has been urged to take advantage of Chelsea's very promising young talent. Romelu Lukaku is determined to impress even more football fans – this time in a Chelsea shirt.
The powerful striker fired his way to excessive media attention when he displayed his astonishing talent on loan to West Brom. Netting 17 goals, he won the hearts of the Baggies' supporters.
Now he has returned to Chelsea.
The Chelsea army are ready to deploy their missiles and regain the Premier League title. And with a trio comprising of Eden Hazard, Oscar and Juan Mata, the English crown doesn't seem that far off.
Chelsea did indeed have this magnificent trio last season, but due to low confidence and the failure of Fernando Torres and Demba Ba to hit it off, Chelsea were halted in their attempts to attain more goals.
The Blues have secured Marco van Ginkle, a beautifully creative player who almost mirrors Oscar's skill and performances. With this in mind, and a no-shortage-of-deliveries guarantee, Lukaku is on the path of becoming a striker extraordinaire - potentially loved to the extent that Didier Drogba was, and still is.
And with Paris Saint-Germain kissing the feet of the Napoli elites in the hope of securing Edinson Cavani's services, Hulk possibly remaining at Zenit and Robert Lewandowski set to remain at Borussia Dortmund, Lukaku can overachieve as he so vigorously did at West Brom.

Pat Martin, You Have A $5 Million Dollar Problem On Your Hands
Remember these comments Mr. Martin?
1. "and now the hundreds of thousands of the phony phonecalls by the Racknine rascals..."
2. "I predict that Racknine will become the Conservative Parties GroupAction, and I predict that we will find the sheer magnitude and audacity of the Racknine rascals to make Richard Nixon blush"
3. " so who are the masterminds of the Racknine rascalsrobocalls of deceit into NDP held swing ridings?
Mr. Martin, here is a $5 million reason your are screwed.
"Elections Canada says in court filings that it does not believe RackNine engaged in suspicious activity."
Filed Statement of Claim - Action No. 1203 03498 (3!2!12) (E6148218)
9 comments:
Martin is fine. The reputation of Racknine is poor. It did not suffer a loss. Will the Conservative stop using Racknine because of what Martin says. Of course not. No loss of business means no damages. Rack nine will never be able to prove it lost $5 million in revenues fron the Con party over the past 3 weeks.

Do you really think the Conservative Party is the only client of Racknine? Do you really think any company would use them at this time with the microscope they are under?
It will be quite easy for Racknine to show financial losses year over year. And why would you think it's for a three week time period?
Not to mention punitive damages for both Racknine and it's CEO, who's name Martin used repeatedly as well.
Here's an idea. Read the entire notice of suit. Google libel.
If I was Martin I'd be issuing an apology post haste. Then again, Martin seems like the Mark Holland type. If you don't remember Holland was sued for making libelous statements about individuals connected with John Baird. Holland wanted taxpayers to foot the bill for the lawsuit, lost that request, and in the end issued an apology.

Anony @7:23pm
Are you living under a rock? There is an election looming in Alberta. One that could be called any day. Another potential election in BC.
These Provinces would be 2 of their biggest clients, for all political parties plus what they do for other clients.
Had they not been aggressive right out of the gate over these defamatory statements, they well could have been damaged by even more.
Had they been silent they most certainly would have B-B'd imo!

Racknine is a publicly traded company with a reputation to uphold, so Pat ("F U" ) Martin is screwed. Martin will try and wait until the smear campaign has run it's course, then, he will try and apologize. Martin is a very angry, stupid man, he is used to bullying Conservative members of Parliament where he is protected from the courts and can pretty much say what ever the hell he wants. This time crazy Pat took his bullying hyperbolic rage and slandered a private company, he will either pay Racknine for his slanderous, libelous statements or he will wait as long as he can and then issue an apology. Personally, I hope Racknine goes ahead with the suit, as they will surely win.

This is the same NDP that supported a Convicted MP thief that was caught on Video stealing a $60'000.00 item, yes folks... Svend Robinson was all for Social Equity and Equal treatment in the Courts no matter the Social status.
But that was before he had to face a Judge and jail time in a a$$ pounding prison...then HE fell to the ground and cried for speaicl treatment as a MP and a victim of Homophobia that made him SNAP and choose a life of crime.
Oddly though, Jack Layton and Libby Davies welcomed Svend back to run for a MP seat in B.C. .
Martin is in good campany and would have to be convicted of Murder for the NDP to finally boot these losers out of the party.

Tips for organizing your home
You may work hard to add your own decorative flair to each room of your home, whether it's cute homemade decorations, a new paint job or installing faux wood blinds. But clutter can take away from all of your interior design efforts. Follow these home organizing tips to keep a clean room so your home gets the attention it deserves.
Kids' cubbies
Having kids generally means having a mess, but you can do damage control by giving them a place to store all of their toys. You may want to think about constructing some simple cubbies out of a few planks of wood right in their rooms. You can include hooks and little shelves and let them customize with a paintjob of their favorite color and letter stickers to spell their names.
Kitchen cabinets
The more shelf space you have for your dishes and cups the more organized your kitchen will be. If you can't build another full cabinet, Martha Stewart suggests a shallow cabinet that will take up less space and can still fit a few stacks of cups or silverware. To help give your kitchen a more open feel, she also recommends taking the doors off your cabinets.
Closet cure
You don't always have to add something to subtract from the mess, many times you just need to reorganize - this is especially true with closets. To maximize closet space, Living With Lindsay recommends taking everything out and then sorting it into various bins that you can then place on shelving space in your closet. You can also invest in containers that are made to stack on top of each other. For items that can hang, you can install racks or hooks as well.

TALLAHASSEE (AP) - Florida's insurance consumer advocate is seeking a state investigation of homeowner policy cancellations and claim denials that are based on credit information.
Robin Smith Wescott made the request in a letter Tuesday to Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty.
Wescott contends the tactic should be considered an unfair trade practice. She wrote that insurers are obtaining credit reports after customers file claims and then using previous instances of bankruptcy, foreclosure and liens to cancel policies after the consumers have paid premiums for years.
She added that homeowners often then are unable to obtain or afford other coverage because their policies ostensibly have been cancelled for misrepresentation, so they face the prospect of losing their homes.

Joel Quenneville stood at the lectern in the United Center press room Wednesday night and announced Patrick Kane would miss three weeks with an apparent left knee injury, marking one of the few occasions this season the Blackhawks will experience a significant injury to a top player.
"(Kane) is a special player and we'll have to work our way through it knowing what he brings to our team," Quenneville said after the winger limped off the ice during the Hawks' 4-0 victory over the Blues. "It's definitely a huge loss for us, but … we've been fortunate as far as not getting hit too hard (with injuries)."
Bryan Bickell (14 games), Michal Handzus (14), Corey Crawford (10) and Marian Hossa (five) have been sidelined for stretches with injuries but in the grand scheme of things, the Hawks have dodged the bullets during 2013-14.
"You're going to get tested at some point," Quenneville said.
That point is now as Kane could miss the remaining 12 games of the regular season for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who are battling the Blues and Avalanche at the top of the Central Division standings.
It's no easy task considering Kane's playmaking ability. The 25-year-old's speed, vision and remarkable hands make him a threat every time he touches the puck. Defenders are drawn to him, opening shooting lanes for his linemates, and Kane, who has 29 goals and 40 assists this season, is one of the best finishers in the NHL.
Trying to replace the dynamic talent likely will be a teamwide effort.
"Whether it's the power play or the quality or the quantity of the ice time that (Kane) absorbs, everybody's going to get a little bit more," Quenneville said. "That four-line rotation that makes us consistent a lot of games is something that we'll have to exaggerate even (more) as we go along."
Helping matters is the impending return of Brandon Saad, who has missed two games with an upper-body injury. It's possible the winger will be in the lineup when the Hawks are host to the Hurricanes on Friday night.
Strong play from Bickell and Ben Smith would be huge as both forwards have come on in the last couple of weeks and figure to see increased ice time.
"Every game is getting more and more like playoff hockey," said Bickell, who appears to have found his game after a long struggle returning from a knee injury. "It's brings my game out more and gets me more physically in the game."
The under-the-radar acquisition of Peter Regin via trade with the Islanders on Feb. 6 bolstered the Hawks' depth, and the veteran could see a larger role.
It's possible the Hawks will make a move to help bolster their offense. Jeremy Morin would be the leading candidate to be recalled from Rockford. The winger has had three stints with the Hawks this season and is the IceHogs' leading goal-scorer with 24 in 47 games.
And then there is top offensive prospect Teuvo Teravainen. With his Finnish Elite league season concluded, the intriguing forward is expected to join the organization shortly after arriving Thursday in Chicago.
But to add Teravainen, 19, to the roster the Hawks would need to clear space under the salary cap. Placing Kane on the long-term injured list, meaning he definitely would be unavailable for 10 games, would solve that issue.
Still, Teravainen has yet to face the level and depth of NHL competition. He has been working on getting stronger but whether he can display the two-way skills Quenneville demands of his forwards remains to be seen.
Also, if Teravainen plays 10 games this season (including the playoffs) he would burn a year on his three-year entry-level contract. General manager Stan Bowman must weigh the possibility of a significant impact from Teravainen in a run to the Cup and a potential earlier large payday for the 18th overall selection of the 2012 draft.
It's possible — perhaps likely — Teravainen will be sent to Rockford to adjust to the North American style of play before a decision is made on whether he will join the Hawks.
Another player suddenly in the mix is forward Matt Carey, whom the Hawks signed to a two-year free-agent deal Thursday. Carey, 22, had 18 goals and 19 assists in 38 games as a freshman this season at St. Lawrence University.

Here's a nice little BTS video from "Saw VI". Mostly fluff, but not a bad watch for a minute and a half. The newest installment lands this Halloween.
Van Damme comes to horror? After his next action film he says he's all set to star in "Breed", about "a village where strange things happen". Boy does that guy have a way with words. I'm sure this will turn out just great.
It doesn't have a wacky title, but today's Indie shoutout goes to "A Mannequin in Static". Go check out the trailer at the site, comes recommended from me.
Mezco snags the rights to "Halloween 2" toy production. They're usually a solid company when it comes to these things, so no worries here.

This dish is created for the Blogger Mushroom Recipe Challenge hosted by Marxfoods, an online gourmet ingredients store. Selected bloggers received dried wild mushroom samples: chanterelle, lobster, matsutake, porcini, and black trumpet mushrooms to create a great recipe out of it. Those mushrooms are hand-foraged from the forests of the Pacific Northwest. They will then put the recipes to a vote on their blog, here, on October 18. If you like my recipe, don't forget to hop over and vote for me! I will be sure to remind you so don't worry if you forget (wink).

12 sliced heirloom tomato (about 2 tomatoes)
Radish sprouts for garnish

Vinegar pickled baby carrots (recipe below). This can be made ahead of time.
Medium eggplant, peeled, thick sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 tbs chopped fresh sage

- Place eggplant and tomato in between on a prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle chopped fresh sage and drizzle with olive oil (see photo)
- Bake for 35 mins until roasted and tender.

- Rehydrate mushrooms by pouring boiling water on mushrooms on a heat proof bowl to cover. Let it sit 20-30 mins until they become tender. Strain and reserve mushroom if you wish to make a risotto or stock.
- Thickly slice mushrooms that are big. Set aside
- Heat up skillet on medium high heat. Add 4 tbs of butter and 1 tbs oil. When butter is melted and bubbly add mushrooms. Saute them until tender. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. Add a splash of dry white wine. Saute it until cooked though and wine is evaporated.

- Spread eggplant tomato puree on toasted baguette about 1/4 thickness. Place mushrooms on top. Place provolone slices on top. Bring it back in the broiler. Broil it until the cheese is getting to melt. Take it out and add sliced tomato ( I added 2 halved slices), then top with sliced provolone cheese. Yes double cheese layer!
- Toast it under broiler until cheese melts. Garnish with radish sprout. Serve with pickled carrots.
|Beautiful organic baby carrots
1 bundle fresh baby carrots

Kurt Elling - GRAMMY Nomination for 'Dedicated to You'
On Target Media Group (OTMG) Press Release (8th December 2009)
Renowned Vocalist Kurt Elling Earns His 9th GRAMMY Nomination for Dedicated to You: Kurt Elling Sings the Music of Coltrane and Hartman
Honor Comes One Week After Headlining the First State Dinner at the White House
Last night when the 52nd annual GRAMMY nominations were announced in Los Angeles, renowned jazz vocalist Kurt Elling was honored with his ninth GRAMMY nomination for Dedicated to You: Kurt Elling Sings the Music of Coltrane and Hartman in the Best Jazz Vocal category. The album was recorded live at the Allen Room at Lincoln Center and has received critical praise. The Washington Post wrote: "With his soaring vocal flights, his edgy lyrics and sense of being on a musical mission, he has come to embody the creative spirit in jazz" while the Chicago Tribunewrote, "His buoyantly creative lines in "Dedicated to You" and arialike phrases in "Lush Life" represent some of the best ballad singing being performed today."
This past week he earned perhaps one of the highest honors of his career; headlining the First State dinner at the White House. As President and Mrs. Obama welcomed the prime minister of India last Tuesday, Elling performed "Nature Boy" with an orchestra directed by Marvin Hamlisch, whose own lists of awards include an Emmy, an Oscar, and a Tony. Elling has a special relationship with the Obamas, having first met the President when he and his wife purchased their Hyde Park condominium from then-state senator Obama some years ago. A well known jazz enthusiast, President Obama counts himself as one of Kurt Elling's biggest fans.
Although Elling has been nominated for every album in his canon, he has yet to garner a win. There is no doubt that he is the most revered male vocalists in music, not just in jazz. Named "the jazz stand-out male vocalist of our time" by the New York Times and "perhaps the most distinctive singer on the American scene" by the Sunday Times UK, Elling has never hesitated to take on a musical challenge. From the creation of multi-disciplinary new works for the Steppenwolf Theatre to his Four Brothers collaboration with Jon Hendricks, Mark Murphy and Kevin Mahogany, from his epic vocalese versions of John Coltrane's "Resolution" or Dexter Gordon's "Body and Soul" to his creation and direction of a commissioned two-hour extravaganza for the City of Chicago's millennial celebrations, Elling has applied his unsurpassed creativity to one project after another.
Elling's unmatched languid baritone is only equaled by his embrace of true artistic exploration, making him one of America's most unheralded national treasures. Indeed, those traits along with his cool Sinatra swagger and style has earned Elling top spot placements in the DownBeat Critics' and Jazz Times Readers' polls year after year. Although mainstream audiences have inexplicably eluded him, it is likely that 2010 will be Kurt Elling's year.

It seems I've come to attract the nontraditional weddings more frequently than not… and I LOVE it! This wedding took place at Blue Mound State Park and was a simple family affair. The whole of the wedding was 4 hours of coverage for me including getting ready pictures and all of the reception! I loved the simplicity and, most of all, the love. Can't wait to share all of the day with you!
Sara and Chad, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! You'll get to see all the rest soon :)
This site is all about my journeys as a professional photographer in Madison. But first and foremost I am Kaia. Kaia means "Earth" in Norwegian and I live up to that by tree hugging, dog loving, and nature walking. My first word was "happy," I still love to jump in puddles, I strive to live simply and self-sustainably, and my favorite color is yellow. I'm married to a stunningly handsome, ridiculously talented, and intensely loving musician husband. We have two spunky and sweet baby girls (see more of Maisy HERE or Penny HERE), one furry friend (see more of her HERE), and we all live happily ever after in a house on a hill in the land of southern Wisconsin.
I am a photographer bent on capturing the uniqueness in life. I strive to serve my clients lovingly, creating a series of memories they can cherish forever, and making them my forever friends. I shoot honest photography – real people, real colors, and real life.
My primary photographic endeavors are weddings, senior portraits, boudoir, newborns, birth, and family photography (especially in the fall). I offer many gorgeous products ranging from prints, to albums, to wall art products and more, but I particularly love creating my custom designed Coffee Table Albums with my clients. My work is also featured in Madison Magazine, in publications at the Madison Children's Museum, Main Street Hub, Tough Mudder Rockford and in every issue of BRAVA Magazine; I've had the privilege of being on the cover several times now!
Do I sound like so much fun and you are so in love with my work? Next, step/mouse over to my "Contact" tab and let's get started on some great pictures!
I do the majority of my photography as a Janesville senior portraits photographer, Madison wedding photographer, Janesville wedding photographer, Madison boudoir photographer, and Janesville family photographer and any place that my camera will take me. I am available for travel worldwide as your destination wedding photographer!

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker men's lacrosse team will play host to the Brevard College Tornados on Sunday (Mar. 30) in a South Atlantic Conference showdown.
Coker is looking to improve upon its 2-2 SAC mark, which sits the Cobras one spot out of the top four and a birth in the conference tournament. Offensively, the Navy and Yellow have two or more players in the top five of every major offensive category. They are led by sophomores Mike Martiello and Shane Wilson. Martiello is the SAC leader in goals (28), points (45) and shots (67), while Wilson ranks second with 26 goals. Senior Ryan Maurer is the league's top assist man with 21 helpers and defensively, goalie Tim Ryan is having a stellar junior campaign between the pipes with 125 saves, which ranks second in the SAC.
The Tornados come to town sporting a 1-3 conference mark and 3-7 overall record after a 16-5 non-conference loss to Florida Tech. Brevard is led offensively and defensively by the duo of Mathew Dropuljic and Andrew Reilly. Dropuljic ranks fourth in the SAC with 20 goals, while Reilly has a league-leading 168 saves.
The game is set to begin at 1 p.m. at Byerly Park in Hartsville. Live coverage of the game will be available at www.cokercobras.com.

Tim Hallinan Revisited
Tim, why did you decide to go the indie route with your new ebook series?
The real answer is that the money we were offered by the publishers we approached wasn't very good. I looked at the offers and thought, "I'd rather own the books." And I'd already put up some of my Simeon Grist series from the Twelfth Century—sorry, the 1990s—and people were actually buying a few hundred copies each month. I figured if those books were selling, new ones would sell even better. And they have.
In fact the first one, Crashed, sold so well that we got a substantially bigger offer for Little Elvises and reprint rights to Crashed. After a life spent lingering outside publishers' doors in the hope someone would offer me a glass of lukewarm water, it was kind of nice to say no.
What inspired your Junior Bender series?
While I was trying to finish the third Poke Rafferty book, Breathing Water, I kept hearing this voice in my ear, trying to tell me a story in the first person, and every time I listened, it entertained me. I finally put Breathing Water aside for five weeks and let Junior tell me the story of Crashed, which is the fastest I've ever written a book. I put the first draft in a drawer, gave a couple of additional months to Breathing Water, and then edited Crashed and went straight to work on Little Elvises.
Part of the appeal was Junior himself; he's a burglar with a moral code who works as a private eye for crooks. In one sense, he's just a middle-class guy who's unhappily divorced and loves his teenage daughter more than anything in the world, and in another, he's risking his life trying to help clients who will not be good enemies if he fails, and he's trying to catch people who are crazy enough to commit crimes against criminals. He's at risk no matter how things come out.
Tell us more about your ebooks.
Well, they're the funniest books I've ever written, and that counts as something for me, because laughing, for me, is right up there with eating. They're meant to be funny and thrilling at the same time, and I'm not the best judge, but the reviews are 99.5% 5-star (only one 4-star in the batch), so that must mean something.
I've always loved to write crooks, and Junior gives me the chance to fill entire books with them. In Crashed, the main crook is Trey Annunziato, a beautiful woman in her early thirties who runs the biggest crime family in the San Fernando Valley and is trying to take everything legal because she's looked at the techniques the government has developed in the war on terror, and she knows that when the cops get back to catching criminals, criminals won't stand a chance.
And in Little Elvises, we meet an old-time, mobbed up Philadelphia record producer who took handsome Philly kids and turned them into pallid imitations of Elvis, plus the oldest still-dangerous gangster in the world, who is based on a very real person who was the California pointman for the Chicago Jewish mob. (One of Capone's guys said, "If it wasn't for the Jews, we'd still be hiding money in mattresses.") This man, whom I won't name, who was for about 40 years the most powerful person in the state. No contest. Half the banks in Southern California were originally opened to launder money.
How well have your ebooks sold so far? Are you pleased with the results?
They've done okay, The reviews have been great and it's a few thousand dollars every month. I'd like them to do better, but I just HATE promoting myself. I can't drop in on every online conversation in the world and say, "Speaking of the economy, my book Little Elvises takes an offbeat look at the underground economy." It makes me wince when I see other writers do it, and I won't.
I also loathe Twitter, which is undoubtedly hurting me. I've got like a thousand followers and I have no idea what to say to them.
How have you promoted your ebooks?
Well, that's sort of the issue. I really haven't, other than blogs like this one. I accidentally did a very successful promotion for Little Elvises. I had two covers and couldn't make up my mind, so I put them on Facebook and asked people to choose. And did they ever. And then I did the same thing on my website and in my almost-nearly-sort-of-monthly newsletter, and literally 800 people stopped their lives long enough to cast votes. So I gave away a bunch of the e-books, and that was the promotion. And Little Elvises really took off in its first week out.
My primary promo device is the newsletter. My website is loaded with information for beginning writers – it's about 80% of the site, and people have been writing to thank me or ask questions for years and years. And I also get a surprising amount of fan mail. All those people are on my newsletter mailing list now—about 6,000 of them—and I see a sales jump every time I send one out.
I work hard to make the newsletter more than just a plug – each has a theme and got reviews of good books and nice images, and nobody unsubscribes, which is saying something. Anybody who wants it can e-mail me at email@example.com.
What advice do you offer writers contemplating the indie route?
Pretty much the same advice I have for everyone. Write the book you want to read and when you're finished, make it better. Proof-read everything ten times.This book is supposed to be you at your best, so you don't want it to be riddled with dumb mistakes.
And do a better job with promotion than I do.

The thing that keeps me going, Tim, is what my editor says about promotion. She says it's a marathon, not a sprint. Each little bit does help...or so I keep telling myself. ;-)
See you in November for the Mystery We Write Blog Tour!

You're obviously doing something right, Tim, to get where you are today.
I'm always happy to see another author go indie. I have many friends who are still going the traditional route, but I love the freedom of being my own boss.

Indie writers are uniting more and more, and have great success. It shows we writers know more about what the public wants than those publishers who continue to turn down good books from us!
Thanks for a good interview

Gosh, I should show up here more often -- nicest people on the web. Thanks to M.M. for the applause (which I can use), John for putting LITTLE ELVISES on his TBR lists, Anne for the reminder about the hateful marathon of promotion (the only thing I like is bookstore events), to Jinx for the slur on Junior's abilities (it wasn't HIS fault the place was full of Rottweilers), to Jackie for opening her own blog to my blather later this year, to John for being an all-around good guy and popping up so often, to Earl for suggesting a really difficult blog topic that's got me tied in knots, to Morgan and Velda for slogging beside me/leading the way as we attempt to climb Mount Indy (although Poke is still in paper, thanks to Soho), and to Beth for having such interesting titles on her Kindle and also for being so nice.

hi there,
Well, since you asked, I've been a keen user of Netbeans for as long as the project has been around. It was always my Java IDE of choice and once Python support became available, it was an easy transition.
I've used it extensively when helping to implement the Solaris IPS package management system in Python, and continue to use it in my day-job developing other Solaris features. I really appreciate the fact it can seamlessly handle just about any language I write in: shell scripts, xml, C sources, perl, etc all Just Work.
I'm a huge fan of Netbeans' project support, the Mercurial integration and its general ease-of-use. I've been fairly happy with the extent of the Python support - nice work

Puzzle--how to get around these apparent dependencies of the modern synthesis on supernatural powers?
Natural selection works by whittling down the number of less-fit variations. As fast as it does so some agency must add new variations, otherwise natural selection would run out of variations to select from and evolution would cease. Failure to find a non-supernatural agency able to account for the creation of new variation led to natural selection being almost abandoned after Darwin's death.
But did the addition of genetic mutation help? Genetic mutation by itself leads to harmful mutations that, accumulating generation by generation, would lead to rapid extinction. Natural selection's effect, being so slight, can do little to slow that accumulation. But according to population statistics, when that slight effect acts in favor of beneficial mutations it can increase their incidence to make them the dominant form of their gene, although that would take millions of generations. For that time to be availalble something must be suppressing the accumulation of the harmful mutations that would otherwise lead to extinction in just a few generations. That can only be supernatural powers in the beneficial mutation.
Illustration: Take two species competing in the same niche. Both suffer genetic mutation but the second one has a perfect repair mechanism so no mutations survive into its phenotype. Until beneficial genes appear in the first species it accumulates harmful genes and extinction threatens. But once a beneficial gene appears, all that accumulation of harmful genes must supernaturally disappear and only beneficial mutations will increase in incidence, leading after millions of generations to eventual evolution and dominance in the niche. Without this supernatural power of the beneficial mutation, how else how can one account for mutations helping species evolve?
Views: 786
Your third paragraph is a great deal of gobble-de-gook. Of course something is suppressing the accumulation of harmful mutations: the highly-increased rate-of-death amongst those with that harmful mutation. How is that so hard to understand?
You're also leaving out neutral mutations, which make up the vast majority of mutations. Your classification of mutations as either harmful or beneficial is just wrong.
Finally, your assertion that it takes millions of generations for a beneficial mutation to become dominant is ridiculous. Where are you even getting that from? I've never heard anything of the sort from anyone who understands evolutionary theory. In a high-pressure selection environment, such as that caused by the introduction of a new predator or a major change in the food supply, you could see a huge change in gene frequency over a few dozen generations.
Why do you keep bringing up this sort of stuff? Anyone with a basic education in evolutionary theory should be able to spot your many wrongheaded assertions. At least link us to an article by someone who understand what he/she is talking about.
Both suffer genetic mutation but the second one has a perfect repair mechanism so no mutations survive into its phenotype.
Without this supernatural power of the beneficial mutation, how else how can one account for mutations helping species evolve?
Those two statements are just complete bunk. Beneficial mutations happen randomly, the same as harmful mutations. How the hell is a beneficial mutation automatically supernatural? You make zero sense.
And what the fuck is a perfect repair mechanism that prevents mutations from occurring? How would the genetic repair mechanism know what is the original genetic code and what is a mutation? Do you even have a specific mechanism in mind, or are you pulling something straight out of your ass?
I think someone probably mentioned this, but evolution doesn't happen over millions of generations, it happens in small ways in EACH generation. Every successive generation of any species is slightly different from the parent generation. These differences being selected for on the basis of successful reproduction.
I dunno, it's not necessarily fair to him to say that he doesn't know the basics, I guess. He knows that mutations and the selection by survival is what drives Natural Selection. He just doesn't seem to know anything in any kind of detail. He knows what I learned about biological evolution in middle school, and he hasn't learned anything beyond that.
The conflation of beneficial mutations with supernatural agency blows my fucking mind, though.
The conflation of beneficial mutations with supernatural agency blows my fucking mind, though.
And yet he claims to be an atheist
I dunno, this guy baffles me.
I challenged him on the god-question, in one of his blog posts, and he stuck to his guns. I've just never seen this kind of seemingly-willful incomprehension about Natural Selection, from anyone other than a fundamentalist creationist. I don't know what to make of Shaun.
It was pretty funny seeing the accusation from the other direction, though, as ignorant as it may have been. "You don't want to believe in Evolution, guys. That's God-stuff!"
Thank you, I have read and appreciated all comments. Pleased to blow your mind.
If mutations lead to rapid death, ie the rate-of-death is highly-increased, those are lethal, not merely harmful, mutations. The increased rate-of-death amongst those with that harmful mutation is the mechanism of natural selection. It cannot eliminate all harmful mutations, merely nibble away a few.
Only beneficial and harmful variations are relevant to how mutations induce the action of natural selection.
Significant evolution, to create new species, typically takes time of the order of a millions years, I believe. Of course, measurable changes in change frequencies can be detected in less than that, but not, I think, the evolution of notably new species.
I don't know how, but I got the information from Shapiro: Evolution: View from the 21st Century. There is a repair apparatus, and it is amazingly efficient.
I seem not to have made myself plain. Some points:
You can't attribute what you can't explain to Jesus of Nazareth fucking the Easter bunny while Mohammed watches and jerks off.
Pleased to blow your mind.
Blowing my mind with your ignorance of the subject you're bashing is not an achievement, man.
Significant evolution, to create new species, typically takes time of the order of a millions years, I believe. Of course, measurable changes in change frequencies can be detected in less than that, but not, I think, the evolution of notably new species.
Considering that we've observed speciation events in the lab, and we haven't had labs for millions of years, I'd say you're slightly wrong, by several orders of magnitude.
I don't know how, but I got the information from Shapiro: Evolution: View from the 21st Century. There is a repair apparatus, and it is amazingly efficient.
That is an inherent repair mechanism of DNA duplication you're speaking of, I believe, and is therefore not something that one species would have and another not have. And once the gene mutates due to a failure of the transcription mechanism, there is no repair system to weed out bad mutations and restore them to a previous, non-mutated form, in daughter cells.
I suspect that you're quote-mining the living hell out of that book.
When you make changes to a blueprint at random, harmful results will be much more frequent than beneficial ones. Consider making changes at random to the blueprint of a two-stroke engine, how often would your random changes improve the performance of engines made from it? In almost all cases your random changes will be disastrous, improvements will be extremely rare.
That's a very bad comparison. Two-stroke engines are precision, designed systems with very little tolerance for variation. Most mutations involve a slight variation within a protein, not a complete migration of vital components to a random place in the engine.
When you have an engine that goes through an embryonic stage instead of an assembly line, you'll have a valid comparison. This one is crap.
Do this session after session (in each "generation") and this damage will accumulate, until engines made from this blueprint no longer work.
No, they won't, because the embryos with "damage" will probably die before adulthood and will not reproduce. I think you're grossly underestimating the power of the sifting mechanism, in Natural Selection.
And the rest of your argument falls apart under the weight of your bad metaphor.
You're aware that Shapiro's book just adds additional complexity on top of the existing Natural Selection framework, right? It doesn't nullify Natural Selection, any more than Punctuated Equilibrium did.
The answer to your title question is still no, and your use of the word supernatural is as idiotic as ever.
New species of flies can arise in one generation when a mutation changes the shape of genitalia. The offspring of one parent can lead to a species, as flies are fecund.
I don't understand your argument
Now suppose one random change is actually an improvement. Nice, but it can't outweigh the much greater amount of damage that's accumulating as you keep making random changes. You're just making many more harmful than beneficial changes as you go along.
A beneficial mutation can make a huge difference in survival, because selection pressures can sometimes be severe, such as dehydration from drought or a violent storm that selectively kills off the birds with largest body weight in a population. During events in which most of a population is killed, the few survivors will ensure that the beneficial gene becomes frequent in the next generation's gene pool.

The emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, 61, informed members of the ruling family on Monday of his decision to hand power to Crown Prince Sheikh Tamim after a meeting in the capital Doha, the Qatari-owned television channel Al Jazeera said.
The U.S.-allied Gulf Arab state is geographically small, with 2 million people, but is the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, a global investment powerhouse, a growing force in international media and a financial backer of Arab Spring revolts.
A Gulf official told Reuters the announcement of the transfer of power would be made later on Monday.
The royal court said in a statement the emir would make a speech at 5:00 a.m. GMT and Tuesday would be a national holiday.
Qatari political analyst Mohammed al-Misfer told Al Jazeera he did not expect major changes in the event of a handover, adding that Sheikh Tamim was already involved in running the country under his father's direction.
Diplomats said earlier this month that the emir was considering an orderly transfer of power that would probably begin with the departure of the powerful prime minister and foreign minister, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, 53.
New Generation
Arab and Western diplomats said they understood the motive was the emir's desire to have a smooth transition to a younger generation. Such a transition would be unusual for Gulf Arab states, where leaders usually die in office.
Sheikh Tamim is 33, young compared to other Gulf rulers.
Qatar's one-family absolute monarchy has ruled over the Gulf peninsula for more than 130 years.
Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim has been prime minister since 2007 and has played a central role in positioning Qatar as a regional power broker. He is also vice-chairman of the board of the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), a position he is expected to retain. QIA has estimated assets of $100 billion to $200 billion.
Widely seen as a savvy dealmaker, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim has personally negotiated some of the sovereign wealth fund's most high-profile investments, and held talks with Glencore's chief last year when the fund demanded better terms for backing Glencore's acquisition of Xstrata. The companies eventually merged to create Glencore Xstrata.
The emir has elevated Qatar's international profile in recent years through the launch and development of the Al Jazeera television network, as well as its successful bid to host the 2022 soccer World Cup tournament.
Qatar has played a substantial role in promoting Arab Spring protests, lending significant support to rebels who toppled and killed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 and to a continuing uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
It has also played host to a delegation of the Afghan Taliban, which opened an office in Doha last week in preparation for expected talks with the United States about how to end a 12-year-old conflict in Afghanistan.
Punching Above its Weight
Other political crises and wars that Qatar has tackled include Yemen, Somalia, Lebanon, Darfur and the Palestinian territories, often arranging for peace talks on its own soil to try to prove it can punch above its weight in international diplomacy.
Eman Ebed Alkadi of the Eurasia Group consultants wrote that she did not expect Qatari domestic priorities or its foreign policies to change significantly with a change of ruler.
"Tamim has controlled key policies in Qatar for some time, and shares his father's views on political development in Qatar and economic diversification," Alkadi wrote.
(Read More: MSCI Ups Qatar and UAE to Emerging Market Status)
National budgets had been agreed up until 2016-2017, Alkadi said, and with preparations for the World Cup in full swing, much change in domestic momentum was unlikely.
When he took power at age 44, the emir was among the youngest leaders in the region. Viewed as less aloof than other Gulf Arab monarchs, he could often be found at his favorite cafe in Doha's souq, talking with the patrons.
Qatar is the world's largest exporter of LNG, an achievement that set the country on a track to achieve double-digit economic growth for several consecutive years, during a time when many Western nations were mired in recession.
This spurred a population boom, with inhabitants surging from 500,000 to 1.9 million in the last decade.
(Read More: Middle East CEOs Worry about Region's Youth Boom)
Revenue from gas exports helped fund a string of high-profile purchases by the sovereign wealth fund, including the acquisition of London department store Harrods as well as stakes in oil majors Total and Shell.
But in 2005 Qatar declared a moratorium on development of the North Field to allow the impact of a rapid increase in output on the reservoir to be studied.
The moratorium is expected to last until 2015 and likely beyond.

Judge To Consider Texts, Photos In Martin Case
A Florida judge is set to consider whether Trayvon Martin's text messages about smoking marijuana and trouble at school can be shown during the trial of the man charged with killing the teen.
The text messages and photos, which were released by defense attorneys for George Zimmerman last week, are among the subjects that will be considered Tuesday in Sanford, Fla. The photos released by the defense team also show Martin blowing smoke and making an obscene gesture toward the camera.
The judge also will consider whether a voice analyzer can be called by prosecutors to determine who was making cries for help on 911 calls.
Zimmerman is charged is charged with fatally shooting the unarmed 17-year-old Martin last year during a confrontation at a gated community in Sanford.

I love butternut squash, but in the warm weather the traditional recipe with brown sugar just isn't the same as it is at thanksgiving. Tried this one out tonight on the grill and it was great with some BBQ chicken and a 3 bean salad
1 Butternut squash
1/4 cup each
Olive oil
Red wine vinegar
1-2 tablespoons of rosemary (or you could use some parsley, time, whatever you like to be honest)
Cut the squash in half and remove the pulp
cut squash into 1/2 in slices (i cut the large pieces from the bulb in half)
place all ingredients into a plastic bag and toss in the fridge for a couple hours
Heat up the grill and toss all the squash on there, but try to retain as much of the olive oil mixture as you can
Grill 5-6 minutes per side, then wrap in foil for about 10-15 minutes
Toss with the reserved olive oil mixture
(if you try the squash and it isn't quite done, just toss it in the microwave for a couple minutes)

This week I did something I rarely get to do: talk with another blogger about blogging. Liz Strauss from Successful Blogs called and I got to hear from someone who's been blogging much better and much longer than I have.
Liz grew up in Chicago then lived in Peoria and Indianopolis briefly before returning to the Windy City to settle for good. With 20 years of experience in print media it's no wonder she's taken to blogging where she attacks issues such as blog writing, branding, marketing, linking and designing alongside meatier issues like net neutrality and SEO--and sprinkled with an occasional interview or forum with fellow bloggers.
Here is a list of her more popular blog posts but I would especially recommend reading this week's post A Holiday Gift: The 31-Day Calendar of Blog Post Ideas for January where she outlines a whole month of ideas for your blog.
And as Liz herself said, "If you like me you stay, if you don't you move on." I'll be visiting her frequently.
And by the way, I'm hosting the 32nd edition of the Carnival of Family Life on Monday. If you would like to submit a post related to family life please send it to this link here by midnight Saturday night.

I woke up this morning and here you are. Tonight is when I'm writing all about you.
Thank you for this. It's so lovely.
BTW, it was like I said. You DID turn out to be a VERY high point in my day. I knew you would. It would have been that way on any day of the week, any day of the year.
Thank for talking with me.

Trite, perhaps, but its true that the simple things are the real things to treasure.
Here at Keuka Lake, I am inland, and even though it is a lake, you cant get commercial fish from itits a law!
Whats a fellow to do who was raised in a coastal city, has southern Italian blood, and cant do without simple seafood?
What I do is drive every Friday 60 miles, to Ithaca, New York, to get my fix at Wegmens grocery, where seafood and other fishes comes from all over: Portuguese sardines, bronzini, whiting, real wild salmon (in season), cockles, oysters.
Now, it is the season for one water-borne simple fish that does not come from the sea, which reminds me of a story.
Last year, when the season rolled in, I noticed that none of my favorite February/March delicacy could be had at Wegmans. When I asked the seafood department lady what gives, she said the store had stopped carrying it because it has to be super fresh and we are so far inland from the delivery point.
I felt truly bad about it, but I had to tell the woman that this particular delicacy comes from a large river fish with great teeth that spawns at this time of year upstream, beginning in the eastern portion of the Southern states and continuing north via East Coast rivers, and that includes the Hudson River, which is only 4 hours east of Ithaca by car.
I am talking about shad roe, that reddish-brown sack of shad eggs that, along with the Maryland blue crab should have been counted as one of the worlds wonders.
Heres how to prepare it: light dusting of flour with some crushed pepper; then, sauté in olive oil with garlic and Meyer lemon (I used to use butter and a bacon strip, but since prostate cancer, Ive been eating less saturated fatsthats what the information says to do).
You dont want to overcook shad roe or it will be dry and taste like the collar of a flight jacket. Inside that sack are eggs, after all. They need to be tender and bursting with river-fishy richness.
Which wine would I serve with shad roe?
After many years of experimenting, I have settled on Cabernet Francnot the Bordeaux style, but the Loire style. Shad roe is super fatty, requiring an acidic bite in the wine; it is also quite rich in a gamey way, requiring red not white to stand up to it.
Speaking of wine: I have one more racking to go before I decide whether I will filter the Gewurztraminer and Riesling or let them clarify themselves before bottling. If I do that, the Gewurztraminer being relatively dry is not much risk, but with the Riesling measuring beyond 1% residual sugar, it is a risk not to filter, as it can ferment again when spring rolls in. Instead of filtering, I can add potassium sorbate to prevent fermentation, but I dont like to add that stuffor any stuffto my wine. Besides, that stuff makes wine taste like lemon Life Savers.
What to do?
What would you do?
Oh well, not to worry. I have shad roe to keep me going for two or three more weeks before the fish move farther north. A filtering decision can wait.

The studies encompass classes in various aspects of Orthodox Christian theology. The school is currently conducting classes in Punchbowl, New South Wales, Australia. An expansion of the curriculum is planned toward accreditation of the course of studies.
At the end of 2005, the curriculum for the course of studies was still under development, although six semesters of study had been taught by this stage, with topics covering Church History, Introduction to Liturgics, the Old and New Testaments including Background to the Gospels and Epistles, Ethics, and Comparative Religions.
As of 2007, first-year students study Introduction to the New Testament and Church History, while final-year students study Dogmatic Theology and Patristics.
Additional information and applications for enrollment are available on the St. Paul Theological Course of Studies website.
