A summary of the original Short Story written by: Christian Andersen
Once upon a time there was an emperor that spent all his money on expensive clothes. He cared nothing about other activities like going to the theatre, or going for a ride in his carriage, except to show off his new clothes. He didn´t even care about talking to people.
In the great city where he lived came lots of tourists, one day came two swindlers and let it be known they were weavers and said they could make to the emperor the most magnificent suit from a special fabric. Not only were their colors and patterns uncommonly fine, but clothes made of this cloth were only visible for non stupid people.

With canned Christmas music in their ears and grim determination in their hearts, shoppers are setting out in search of the perfect holiday gift. For
many that means toys that talk and move, musical electric keyboards, and coffeemakers.
Toy shoppers are seeking out both the traditional and the ultra-modern, according to local store managers.
On the traditional side, people are buying Tonka Toys at Ames, board games at Jamesway Discount Center, play kitchen sets at K mart and Nichols Department Store, and Barbie dolls plus accessories at Bresee's Oneonta Department Store.
Probably the star of this Christmas season is the television character Alf, which is available in several different models including one that talks. He
was reported as a big seller at Ames, K mart, and Nichols.
Cabbage Patch Kids are back in at Nichols. Anything involving dinosaurs - stuffed toys, plastic models, books - are popular at K mart. Remote control cars are hot sellers at both K mart and Ames. Wild Puffalumps, a soft stuffed animal, are popular at Bresee's.
Coffeepots, microwaves, and video cassette players are selling well at most of the stores. Electric crock pots, selling for half the price they did when they were introduced in the 1970s, are big at Ames, Keyboards are a major seller at K mart and Nichols, and so are Nintendo video game systems which only need a television to be operated. A new model of the Dust Buster is a hot item at Bresee's, and so are woks.

ROXBURY - The Boy Scout God and Country award, one of the rarest and most difficult to achieve, was awarded Sunday to Stanley Martin, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Martin of Roxbury. He became the first Boy Scout in Roxbury to receive the award.
Presentation was made at the morning service in the Roxbury Methodist Church by the Rev. Richard Guice. The candidate was greeted by Scoutmaster Lindon B. Morse. Mr. and Mrs. Martin were presented with facsimile pins, commemorating their son's honor, which requires more than a year of study and church participation.
Fifteen Scouts with Co-Scoutmaster Daniel Underwood of Troop 41 were present at the service. They were led in the scout oath and law and salute to the Christian and American flag by Linden Gregory.

My name is Mike Mearls, RPG Group Manager for the D&D Research and Development team. Welcome to Legends & Lore, a weekly column where I write about various topics on D&D's history, how the game has changed over the years, and where it's going in the future. One of the things I want to do is pose questions and topics to D&D players across the world, because my real purpose is to understand what you think about D&D. Once I know that, then I can better understand the game.
This is something of a strange approach, so bear with me. Imagine if the skills you can use untrained were instead treated as inherent uses of the abilities. In 4th Edition terms, we'd remove some skills from the game and make them generic rules (as described last week; the skill system doesn't hide how to do basic things such as climbing and swimming).
Each ability then has a training rank attached to it that represents your general aptitude with those tasks that the ability is used to perform. Let's use Strength as an example.
You have a Strength ability score, an ability modifier, and a training rank. Whenever you make a Strength check, you use the training rank to determine if you need to make a check and, if so, that check's DC. You then use your modifier to make that check (if necessary).
In 4E terms, Strength training is the equivalent of training your Athletics skill. We just remove the skill as the filter between your Strength score and tasks like climbing, jumping, and swimming. When you increase your Strength rank, you're learning athletic techniques, practicing, and getting experience in doing stuff with your Strength score.
What I like about this approach is that it distinguishes between the trained athlete and the natural talent. A character with Strength 18 but a novice rank for Strength checks is a big, strong guy who doesn't know how to use his power. He dogpaddles when he swims. If you're a sports fan, he's the guy who runs fast, but when he's in the game he's always out of position.
In contrast, the guy with a 10 Strength and grandmaster training is like an elite athlete. He has excellent balance and body control. He knows the best swimming stroke for his style and can translate his raw strength into grace. In sports terms, he's the savvy veteran who is always in position to score.
Opposed Checks
With that business dealt with, it's time to talk about how to handle opposed checks. Under this system, we have a fairly easy way to build a defending character's DC on an opposed check.
Under this system, a skill or an ability contains its own DC. Let's say I have a 16 Dexterity and expert training in that ability. I need to sneak up on a cleric who has a 14 Wisdom and journeyman training. There's no opposed check. Instead, the active party, the sneaking guy, makes a journeyman Dexterity check. My expert training wins, meaning that I can sneak up on the cleric.
However, let's now say that the cleric is suspicious of being followed. He takes a moment to scan the area and make a Wisdom check. That check's DC is matched against my expert Dexterity. He is one rank below me, so he needs to make a DC 20 Wisdom check to notice me.
Let's assume that I'm playing a rogue and I'm tracking the cleric in a shadowy ruin. The cleric, suspecting that he's being followed, casts a light spell down the hallway where I'm lurking before he makes his check. The DM can then drop the DC down one level, to journeyman. The cleric's target number is now 10. Just as in the system described last week, players (and DMs) are encouraged to engage with the game setting and come up with ways to tilt the odds in their favor.
I have to admit that this is my favorite part of this system. It provides a clear, easy way to shift difficulties as a reward for becoming immersed in the game. It encourages the players to get into character and engage with the setting. With this model of opposed checks, we unify everything into one mechanic, rather than needing two separate procedures.
Last week's proposal is a good or bad idea...

Florida Democrats: Scott shouldn't use state seal, official pix on campaign website02/12/14 Blog
Gov. Rick Scott may wear the state seal on his cowboy boots, but it shouldn't be popping up on his campaign website, say Florida Democratic Party officials, who argue that Scott isn't following state laws prohibiting the use of the seal in public campaigns.
The official state seal appears when visitors to the campaign website click on a few videos, including a Feb. 3rd announcement of $80 million in cancer research funding and another on education. Florida statutes state that "in no event shall approval be given for the use of the Great Seal for the following: (a) Political or campaign purposes."...

For the fourth year, Democratic legislators and advocates for medical marijuana are pushing for a measure to legalize the drug. What makes all of them more hopeful about success this session is the Florida Right to Medical Marijuana Initiative amendment, which will be on the ballot Nov. 4.
"We've seen a seismic shift in how the legislature is beginning to look at these issues," said Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, at a press conference Monday to announce his 157-page bill, the "Cathy Jordan Medical Cannabis Act" (SB 962), with House sponsor Rep. Joe Saunders, D-Orlando. ...
State issues warning about unlicensed combat sports02/07/14 Blog

Feldman was recently in the news for planning a controversial boxing match pitting George Zimmerman, acquited in the death of Trayvon Martin, and rap star DMX, expected to take place in March in Philadelphia, if it actually happens. The hype alone has prompted a groundswell of opposition....

At a press conference Tuesday, Patty Cohen said she has been pursuing a change in the law, which now gives drunk drivers an incentive to leave the scene of a hit-and-run, since her husband Aaron was struck by a motorist on the Rickenbacker Causeway's William Powell Bridge on Feb. 15, 2012....
State gets five-year extension of a funding waiver to help at-risk children02/03/14 Blog
Florida's child welfare system got a boost Monday with the approval of a five-year renewal of a federal waiver that allows the state to have more options in helping children from troubled homes.
The waiver enables the state to use Title IV-E federal foster care funds to pay for services it deems necessary for children in at-risk families, whether it's mental health counseling or substance abuse treatment. In the past, that money could only be used for children placed in the foster care system. The waiver "allows us to have more flexibility in the services we provide families," said Stephen Pennypacker, assistant secretary for programs for the state Department of Children and Families....

I made the cake exactly as the recipe was written, with the exception of using milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chips. The baking time was exactly 55 minutes. I did not do the thin "glaze" frosting, but rather a thicker one and using a whole can of frosting, 3/4 c. creamy peanut butter, 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract and only 2 Tbs. milk. This made more than enough frosting to do the cake (how we like it), and I garnished it with chopped Reese's peanut butter cups. Delicious but extremely rich, the cake yields more than 10 servings, especially after a heavy roast beef dinner. I made this cake specifically for my niece, who now, after having a nut allergy for most of her life, can now, amazingly, eat most nuts, including peanuts, and she mentioned to me that she had been craving something peanut butter and chocolate. She appreciated my effort, and devoured the cake with a tall glass of ice cold milk. She even asked me for the recipe and I gladly obliged, hoping that she will make it herself at some point. Thanks for a winning recipe.
LOVED the cake part of this recipe! However, I followed the frosting recipe exactly (minus the almond extract) and it came out sooo thin. Maybe it's supposed to be more of a drizzle? Anyway, I thickened it up with extra frosting and peanut butter and it was fine. Nice and easy dessert recipe.
VERY easy to make. I followed the recipe to the letter and it turned out perfectly. Only addition was to drizzle Reese's chocolate peanut butter topping over the top of it for a little extra artsy 'oomph'. Served it at a holiday party and got a lot of ooohs and aaahs.

The American Red Cross is responding across multiple states as Hurricane Sandy bears down on the East Coast.
The large and powerful storm could affect as many as 60 million people in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, and the Red Cross has workers and relief supplies in place to provide help to people in the path of Sandy.
Nearly 11,000 people spent Monday night in 258 Red Cross shelters in 16 states – New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Indiana, Michigan.
"This storm is dangerous and it's critical to follow the advice of local emergency officials. If people are told to evacuate, they need to do it," said Charley Shimanski, senior vice president of Disaster Services for the Red Cross. "The Red Cross has shelters open and will be opening more throughout the day. Hundreds of disaster workers are ready with relief supplies and emergency vehicles in place to help."
To find a shelter, people can download the Red Cross Hurricane app, visit the Red Cross web site, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767), or check local media outlets. They should also register on the Red Cross Safe and Well website, a secure and easy-to-use online tool that helps families connect during emergencies. To register, visit www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767). This site also connects with the Twitter and Facebook accounts of users.
Almost 200 Red Cross emergency vehicles are mobilizing to distribute meals and relief supplies after the storm passes. Thousands of ready-to-eat meals and relief supplies such as cots and blankets are also being sent into the region.
HOW TO HELP "This will be a large, costly relief response and we need help now," Shimanski said. "People can help by making a donation to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief online, by text or by phone. Donations help the Red Cross provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance to those affected by disasters like Hurricane Sandy. To donate, people can visit www.redcross.org, call 1-800-RED-CROSS, or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Contributions may also be sent to your local Red Cross chapter at 408 Central Avenue N, Suite B in Faribault, MN 55021, or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.
PLEASE GIVE BLOOD The storm has already caused the cancellation of Red Cross blood drives in the region, and more cancellations are expected. This has resulted in the loss of several hundred units of blood and platelets so far. The Red Cross has shipped blood products to hospitals in the affected area in advance of the storm as patients will still need blood and platelets despite the weather. If anyone is eligible, especially in places not affected by the storm, they are asked to please schedule a blood donation now. To schedule a blood donation or get more information about giving blood, people can visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). To give blood, someone must be at least 17 years of age, meet weight and height requirements and be in general good health. Donors should bring their Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID with them. Some states, including Minnesota and Wisconsin, allow 16-year-olds to give with parental consent.
Important information about how to get ready for the storm – steps to take for emergencies like flooding, power outages, even winter weather - is available on the Red Cross web site. Videos are also available to help people get prepared, including information on severe weather preparedness and how to get ready for winter weather.
RED CROSS APPS People should download the free Red Cross Hurricane and First Aid apps for mobile devices to have emergency information at their fingertips. The Hurricane App keeps people up to date on the situation with weather alerts, locations of Red Cross shelters, and features a toolkit with a flashlight, strobe light and alarm. The "I'm Safe" button lets someone use social media sites to tell family and friends they are okay. And it's available in Spanish by changing the language setting on someone's smart phone to Spanish before downloading. The First Aid app includes expert advice for everyday emergencies. The apps can be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross.
About the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Springfield, Mass. -- February 1, 2012 -- Alex Berthiaume led his Springfield College men's basketball team to a 72-63 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference victory over the Coast Guard Academy by scoring 28 points this evening at Blake Arena. It was the same number of points the junior guard scored in a two-point win at Coast Guard on January 7.
With the win, Springfield raises its record to 14-6 overall, 6-2 in the NEWMAC. The Bears fall to 7-11 overall, 1-8 in the conference.
Besides Berthiaume's 28, two others scored in double figures for Springfield College. They were senior guard Jordan Rote (Sheffield, Mass.) with 17 points, and senior center Ryan Coburn (West Warwick, R.I.) with 11. Coburn also had three rebounds and six blocked shots. Berthiaume, a native of Springfield, Mass., added a game-high five assists. Rote added nine rebounds.
Coast Guard also had three players score in double figures. They were sophomore guard Devonte Weems (Chesapeake Beach, Md.) with 18 points, sophomore guard Kevin Sowers (Monrovia, Md.) with 14 and freshman forward David Anderson (Goose Creek, S.C.) with 13. Sophomore forward John Benedict (Cumming, Ga.) added seven points and nine rebounds.
Berthiaume put on an offensive show to start the first half, pouring in 17 of his 28 points. He netted 13 of the Pride's first 22 points, giving the hosts a 22-13 advantage following his third three-pointer of the opening 9:58 of action. The Pride's nine-point lead was short-lived as it went cold from the field, allowing the Bears to answer with a 13-2 run over the next 6:04, giving the Bears a 26-24 lead on a lay-up from Sowers. The teams then traded buckets until Springfield scored six unanswered points in the final 1:52 to head into the half up 34-28.
After a jumper by sophomore forward Robbie Burke (Cheshire, Mass.) put the Pride up 36-29 just 29 seconds into the second half, the Bears used yet another big run to get back into the game. This time, Coast Guard registered an 11-2 spurt, capped off by a Jimmy Knudsen jumper, to snag a 40-38 advantage with 15:47 on the clock.
A three-point play from Berthiaume following a great display of teamwork in transition gave the hosts a 43-40 lead, only to have junior forward Greg Marshall (Gaithersburg, Md.) answer once again with a big three to even things at 43. Coburn converted in the lane the next time down the court and was fouled, but Rote snagged the offensive board on the missed free-throw and buried a trifecta to push the Pride's lead back up to five, 48-43, with 14:21 remaining.
An Anderson jumper at the 11:35 mark made it a 50-48 ballgame and would prove to be as close as Coast Guard would get the rest of the way. Springfield's largest lead was the final-point margin.
Springfield will next host MIT, the first-place team in the NEWMAC, this Saturday, Feb. 4, at 2 pm.

Haiti earthquake: What Oxfam is doing and what next for reconstruction
Two years after the devastating January 12 earthquake, which killed more than 220,000 and initially left more than 1,5 million homeless, reconstruction efforts and the relocation of those displaced by the earthquake remains slow. 519,000 people are still living in camps in tents and under tarpaulins.
The grave humanitarian situation was worsened in October 2010 when, less than ten months after the quake, Haiti was gripped by a cholera outbreak. There had previously been no documented cases of the disease in Haiti for many decades. Today, Haiti has the world's highest cholera infection rate, with more than 5% of the population affected; and more than 6,700 Haitians have died as a result of the outbreak.
With a new government in place the time is now to work together to rebuild Haiti. The second anniversary of the devastating earthquake must be a call to action. Despite the apparent slowness of reconstruction, this remains an opportunity for Haiti to address the chronic poverty and inequality that has plagued the country for decades.
What Oxfam has achieved
In 2011, Oxfam reached 532,000 beneficiaries: providing safe water and sanitation facilities; supporting small businesses; rebuilding communities and carrying out advocacy work with communities and partners on governance and protection issues. Our main focus is now on recovery and rebuilding; transitioning from humanitarian to development work with existing and new partners to find sustainable solutions to Haiti's problems.
We're also working hard to ensure that the voices of the Haitian population are heard in the reconstruction efforts.
Read Oxfam's Haiti Progress Report, January - December 2011
In pictures: Year two of Oxfam's response to the Haiti earthquake, 2011
Aid is working
Aid has made a difference in the lives of Haitians. There have been major achievements. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved and hundreds of thousands of people have been supported in leaving the camps and rebuilding their lives. Oxfam is making a difference in communities affected directly and indirectly by the earthquake and we are spending donor money effectively.
Oxfam has been working in Haiti since 1978. After the earthquake in January 2010, Oxfam raised approximately $98 million for its three-year earthquake response program. A further $8 million was raised in 2011, bringing the total to $106 million.
Oxfam helped 500,000 people during the first phase of the emergency humanitarian response to the 2010 earthquake (accounting for $68 million of the Earthquake Fund) and has assisted more than 700,000 Haitians through its cholera response program.
In 2011, Oxfam's began the transition from emergency response towards longer-term rehabilitation and development focussed programming, drawing a further $28 million from the earthquake fund.
Development and reconstruction
Our focus now is on longer-term development, promoting sustainable change. We are working in communities rather than camps; identifying and engaging with Haitian organizations as partners in longer-term initiatives to strengthen civil society and local capacity, supporting employment creation through development of small enterprises, to re-build a new Haiti.
Read our report: Haiti – The Slow Road to Reconstruction: Two years after the earthquake
However, the fragility of Haiti's recovery, as well as the threat of cholera and regular tropical storms, will ensure that Oxfam's emergency response capability will always be a core part of our program.
Oxfam is committed to the reconstruction process in Haiti, and will develop innovative programs to help empower local communities and build the foundations of a stronger civil society.
Donor funding
Of the $4.6 billion pledged by international donors for Haiti's reconstruction in 2010 and 2011 (including $1 billion in debt relief), donors had only delivered 43 percent by the end of September 2011 (according to the UN Office of the Special Envoy for Haiti).
Donors and aid agencies must do more to support the government, to help it be accountable to its own people and ensure that Haitians have a say on how the country is rebuilt.
Transitioning water and sanitation management
Since mid February 2011 Oxfam has been handing over ownership of most of its water and sanitation (WASH) programs in IDP camps to trained water committees. We have established alternative WASH provision mechanisms in all the camps we have exited. This process will continue through January 2012.
The transition process is an approach that ensures greater and more effective ownership and participation by the Haitian people. Oxfam will support and continue to build the capacity of the communities to enable them to take ownership of the facilities in the camps.
Video: Distribution of hygiene and shelter materials in Haiti
Some of what we provided to those affected by the earthquake:
- Over 300 million liters (approximately 79 million gallons) of clean, chlorinated water each month to the camps and areas where we worked
- 2,500 latrines and 1,032 bathing shelters, which the camp residents and local people maintain
- Hygiene kits containing personal care items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, sanitary pads, and towels to more than 120,000 people.
- More than 42 million water purification tablets, 20,000 buckets, and one million bars of soap
We've also worked with local organizations on developing innovative and environmentally friendly solutions to sanitation problems, including a urine diversion toilet and this bio-degradable 'peepoo' bag.
Food and livelihoods
Unemployment and food shortages are two of the main obstacles that people face as they start to rebuild their lives. Our focus has been on local production and reinforcing links between producers and consumers. We also provide support to small businesses and those owned by women, to help get them back on their feet.

Advocacy and campaigning

---- — ESSEX — Police issued summonses Tuesday to 15 minors for possessing alcohol and an additional summons to one of the 15 for providing a place for minors to drink alcohol, stemming from an incident Friday when police broke up an underage drinking party on Apple Street about 9:57 p.m.
The officer discovered the party when responding to a complaint of an unknown vehicle parked in a neighbor's driveway. When the officer arrived with back-up, a number of people were running from the house, police said.
The 16-year-old girl whose parents own the house was charged with both possessing alcohol and providing a place for minors to drink, according to police. Police said the parents were apparently out of town.
Members of Fire Department brought infrared cameras to the scene to help locate the teens who had run into the woods. Police said the cameras and searches were used because it was a cold night, and authorities wanted to locate the teens and ensure their safety.

Re: David J. Habib, Jr.'s Jan. 14 letter, "Cabinet choice":
After reading the writer's comments regarding the selection of Chuck Hagel for secretary of Defense and the slam against Israel with remarks about "un-American," I had to laugh out loud at the obvious left-sided vision of the writer.
Our current president, much like the now-famous African bee, seems to be working to destroy those traditions America was founded on. He is trying to claim imperial power over the Constitution, and I am sure he would rewrite it if his supporters gave him enough ink. He has defamed marriage and God. He wants to turn our military into a video game with no real bullets and his own special soldiers to play it. He has made us a nation of Monopoly money. He has spit in the faces of allies like Britain and Israel and embraced the Islamic world by kissing up to the Egyptian "brotherhood" and even justifying the Benghazi massacre then trying to cover it up with such ruthless deception that even the "stoic stone" Hillary Clinton has become ill.
His agenda will be remembered for what he did to America, not for America. It is obvious that the agendas of Obama and Osama are the same - to destroy America; the difference is that Obama might succeed since he took out Osama so he would not have to compete with anyone for the credit in the history books.
With regard to pro-Israel lobbyists being required to register as agents of a foreign government, I would suggest that the pro-Obama lobbyists and loyalists are the ones who should be registered as foreign and un-American.

Celebration Cakes
We are pleased to introduce "Carr Valley Celebration Cakes", our newest addition to Carr Valley Cheese. Looking for something to make a special event more memorable? These cakes consist of layers of the finest cheese made right at Carr Valley and are the perfect solution to adding a special touch to any event or celebration. Cakes are available to custom order. Choose from several different varieties of cheese to get exactly what you are looking for. All cheeses are hand-dipped in ivory wax, giving them a beautiful and elegant finish.
Carr Valley Celebration Cakes are the perfect solution for those who do not like traditional cakes that are made with chocolate or icing. However, for those who do, they are a great option to serve on the side as well. These cakes are the perfect item to have at a wedding, especially for couples looking for something a little bit different than a traditional cake. These cakes can also be served alongside a traditional frosted cake as an appetizer or part of the main course. Tiers and different pillars give these cakes a unique and elegant look.
Cheese Varieties
We have many great cheese varieties for you to choose from for your special occasion. Please select from our list of Cake Cheese Varieties (PDF) for the flavorful cow, goat, sheep, and mixed milk cheeses for your celebration cake.
Decorating Ideas
Add a special touch to your cake by decorating it with flowers, fruit, and other figurines. Stack the layers of cheese on each other or use pillars and tiers to separate the cheese. It is easier to use at least two to three different cheeses that are of different sizes in order to make your cheese tower more appealing. Consult your caterer, specialty cake shops, and other specialty bakery stores to find the perfect pillar, cake stand, or separator plate to display your Celebration Cake. Although we do not provide the additional pieces for the cake, here are some ideas to get you started:
"Tying the Knot"
Decorate this cake with several white roses. Include glass votives with white candles or white lace to complete the look. Approximately nine yards of white beading would be needed to wrap around layers.
"Harvest Fruit"
This simple and easy idea is a quick way to give your cake the personality you may be looking for. Simply add pieces of fruit to add some color to the cake. For a traditional three-layer cake, consider using approximately five red and green apples, five pears, and multiple bunches of both red and green grapes.
A perfect choice to serve at the next wine and cheese party. Complete the theme by decorating the cheese with wine glasses as cake toppers. Use grapevine-like leaves to finish the look, intertwining them between stands and layers of cheese. Bunches of both red and green grapes are another great touch, along with wine bottles and rustic vases.
Another easy and inexpensive option to decorating the cake. Use a simple floral arrangement of flowers and ivy. Start at the top of the cake using a bunch of flowers as the cake topper and slowly wrap around layers moving from top to bottom.
How to Serve
Serving Size
We find that approximately one pound of cheese is adequate for about ten people, depending on how the cake is served. Use our cheese as an ingredient in your main dish served at your special event, or cut and serve on a platter as a snacking cheese or an appetizer. The best serving options will vary with the type of cheese you select for your cake. Refer to the pairing suggestions above for more details.
Consult your caterer or food service provider for accommodating the cheese. Upon receiving, refrigerate your Celebration Cake. It is recommended to remove the cake from refrigeration as soon as four hours before serving. In order to fully enjoy the flavors of each variety of cheese, it is best to serve any cheese at room temperature.
Cutting and Preparation
In order to cut the cake to serve, it is important to use an extremely sharp knife. Larger knifes will work best for the larger wheels on the bottom. Cut your cheese in any style you prefer—from cubes to slices. The wax on the outside of the wheel gives our cheese a beautiful finishing touch and protects the cheese from any type of damage or spoilage. You will find that the wax on our cheese is easily removable. In most cases, cheese is easier to work with and to serve once the wax has been removed.
Ordering Information
Each cake must be custom ordered. We find that approximately one pound of cheese is adequate for about ten people, depending on how the cake is served. In order to ensure that your cake is finished on time, please order well in advance of your special event. Choose the number of layers you would like your cake to have along with the type of cheeses you would like as well. Please use this selection guide (PDF) for ordering your cheese wheels.
Pairing Ideas
Planning a dinner party or a night with friends? Add a tasteful experience with Cheese and your favorite beverage. We have done the work for you and have composed a Wine / Beverage Pairing Guide (PDF). This guide makes suggestions as to what beverages complement the tastes of our fine Cheeses.
You must have a PDF Reader installed on your computer to view PDF files. This software is available as a FREE download.

Posted Monday, June 4, 2012 --- 6:45 a.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- An explosion and blaze at a Milwaukee duplex has injured six people, including five firefighters.
Deputy Chief Michael Romas said emergency personnel responded about 6:30 p.m. Sunday to a report of gas leak at a two-story brick duplex.
The duplex exploded shortly after firefighters arrived on the scene. Three people -- two firefighters and one civilian -- suffered serious burns while the other three people hurt in the blast sustained minor injuries.
The resulting fire was quickly extinguished, and the cause of the explosion is being investigated.
James Taylor saw the explosion. He says the blast caused a fire fighter to be blown into him and they both ended up across the street.
Samuel Dorsey says he saw a big fireball and saw the blast blow the roof off.

Bring The Big Screen Home
Imagine... a screen so big you feel like you're at the drive-in... without having to sit in your car all night. Instead, you'll be luxuriating in the comfort of your home theater seating, and pausing the action whenever you want to go get popcorn or soda. Try that at the drive-in. You'd get yourself lynched. And, unlike the limitations of drive-in movies, you can hang this Draper front projection screen just about anywhere -- anywhere with 92" of free space, that is! The anti-reflective Vel-Tex-coated frame and screen assembles in 10 minutes or less with one provided tool. And, it accomodates front or rear projection. Move it into the kids room for Disney movies during slumber parties, or into the basement so your teenager and his friends can play video games without driving you nuts. Of course, you'll be THE SOURCE for summer fun when you host outdoor sports parties -- projecting NASCAR races or Red Sox series games in the great outdoors, where spilled beer and flung airborn cheese puffs won't permanently mar your carpet. Heck, if you wanted to, you could even hang your Draper screen in the garage and sit in your car on a date with your honey. Nostalgia dies hard, you know?
Simple, By Design
The beauty of this screen is in its convenient design -- nothing too complicated, just the simplicity of a thing well-made. The screen is a highly-reflective, M1300 matte white front or rear projection compatible material, the perfect light diffusing surface. The matte white reflective material diffuses light in all directions, making the image visible from any angle -- a real convenience in larger rooms. This screen is spot-washable, as well as flame- and mildew-resistant -- assuring that it will wear well with age and require very little in the way of ongoing maintenance. The best part is how easy it is to set up and adjust. The anti-reflective Vel-Tex-coated frame snaps together with one simple tool (provided in the box) and the screen itself is suspended using a snapless fabric retension system. You can adjust the screen placement by 1.5' in any direction without tools. A perfectly smooth, taut screen is easily attained in minutes. You can start setting this bad-boy up minutes before the big game and still be seated in time for the kick off.

The Free Press
Minnesota State forced three turnovers in the first half, which were turned into 21 points, and rolled to a 42-35 victory over Wayne State in a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference South Division football victory Saturday.
"We were able to generate some momentum early on," interim coach Aaron Keen said. "We kind of let some of that slip away, but we made enough plays to win in the end."
Minnesota State took advantage of two early turnovers to go up 14-0. Andy Pfeiffer scored on a 1-yard run, and Jon Wolf added a 10-yard scoring run. Connor Thomas' 1-yard run made it 21-0 at the end of the quarter.
Wayne State scored three touchdowns in the second quarter to tie the game, but Wolf passed 39 yards to Adam Thielen for the go-ahead score in the final minute of the half. It's the fifth time in the last three games that Wolf has thrown a touchdown pass to Thielen.
The half ended when Isaac Kolstad made an interception and returned it 60 yards for a 35-21 lead at halftime.
"That was huge," Keen said. "We threw that long pass to score, then the defense came out and put another touchdown on the board."
Wayne State scored the first points of the second half, but the Mavericks answered with a 39-yard touchdown pass from Wolf to Pfeiffer.
Wayne State drew within seven points and had the ball before the Mavericks stopped the final drive.
Wolf was 10 of 18 for 198 yards, with Thielen making nine catches for 99 yards. Pfeiffer was the top rusher with 75 yards.
Robert Gunderson led the defense with eight tackles and two interceptions. Marcus Hall-Oliver had five tackles and an interception.
Minnesota State (9-0, 5-0 in South) plays Saturday at home against Sioux Falls (8-1, 4-1).
"Essentially, our playoffs start now," Keen said. "Our goal of going 1-0 each week isn't going to change, but this is a big game against a good opponent. We're excited to be back home."

The good news for the U.S. economy as we enter 2013 is that the election's over. The bad news is that the election's over.
What's good about it is that both parties in Washington can shed their preoccupation with the campaign theatrics that dominated our long national voyage from pre-primary jockeying through election day.

736 Mission
San Francisco, CA 94105
Category: Museums
Region: South of Market
While Mah Jongg, a game of skill, calculation, and chance involving 136 tiles, may have originated in China (with alternate variations found in Japan and Korea), Gravity Goldberg, Manager of Public Programs at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, tells us that Mah Jong, or Mahj for short, happens to be "hugely popular with little old Jewish ladies." Further evidence of this truth rests in the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York and the Skirball Cultural Center in L.A., which both had recent exhibitions about Mah Jongg. Of course, it's not only Jewish elders who love the game, evidenced by the fact that the first Mah Jongg sets sold in the U.S. came from that bastion of hip, shirtless youth, Abercrombie & Fitch. All ages and skill levels are welcome to attend Mah Jongg Open Play, which is led by Mahj Maven Sara Linden. The event does tend to sell out, so get your tickets early because there's only room for 56 players. When asked whether the games tend to be competitive, Goldberg said, "The ladies (mostly ladies) do take it very serious -- they don't like ambient noise other than the tiles -- play now, gossip later." Lest you think it's all business up in this house of tiles, we'd like to point you to its delightfully playful catchphrase: "Get your mahj on!" See you on the flip side.

Man accused of choking child, 8June 20,2013BENNINGTON A North Bennington man is being held in prison after being charged with four felonies recently involving an allegation that he tried to choke an 8-year-old child three times
William J. Borden, 35, of North Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court last week on three felony counts of first-degree aggravated domestic assault. On Wednesday, a felony charge of obstructing justice was added in the same court.
Borden, who pleaded innocent to all the charges, was also charged as a habitual offender. Someone who has been convicted of three or more felonies can be charged as a habitual offender and, if convicted, could be sentenced to up to life in prison.
Borden has three previous felony convictions for aggravated domestic assault from 1998 and 2004 and a felony conviction for unlawful restraint from 2004.
In an affidavit, police said they spoke with the child on June 3. The child said Borden had choked him on three occasions, at the childs home, in a car after a baseball game and at the home of an unidentified witness in Shaftsbury.
The obstructing justice charge was filed based on allegations by the witness that Borden had tried to intimidate her while she was trying to describe the incident to police. She said Borden was with her when police called her about the incident and said he tried to force her to hang up.
Borden is being held in the Rutland jail.MORE IN This Just InSACRAMENTO, Calif. Full StoryWASHINGTON Congress ran full-tilt into election-year gridlock over immigration Thursday and... Full Story
