Make A Film Foundation is a non-proft organization that teams children who have serious or life-threatening medical conditions with film industry professionals, who help them create short film legacies. We grant children their wishes of writing and starring in their own movies.
Some of the Hollywood celebrities who have enthusiastically participated include: Sean Astin ("Lord of the Rings"), Elijah Wood ("Lord of the Rings"), Miguel Sandoval ("Medium"), Natasha Gregson Wagner ("High Fidelity", Natalie Wood's daughter), Ernie Hudson ("GhostBusters" 1, 2 and upcoming 3), and Neil LaBute (playwright, director). Sponsors include: SONY Studios, HBO, Warner Bros., and the Annenberg Foundation.
In our unique 'Vidz 4 Kidz' Program, we go to hospitals where children are teamed with hand-held video cameras and with film industry mentors, who help them create short documentaries about their lives and illnesses. These films not only impact the children who make them, but all those involved, including their families, student mentors, the Hollywood community, inner-city filmmakers, cast, crew and volunteers.
These children have touched all our lives in ways they'll never know. Their films empower them by giving them a voice and the opportunity for self-expression and creativity, which, in turn, is cathartic and therapeutic. It also helps fulfill their dreams, gives them hope, and makes them feel special and loved.

Experts contend that captive dolphins offer little information about their true behaviors in the wild. Dr Lori Marino, Ph.D, a neuroscientist and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology and faculty affiliate of the Center for Ethics at Emory University says, "What we have learned about who these dolphins are tells us unequivocally that they do not belong in captivity. I think that field studies are and can be a replacement for some captive studies. In the past few years, almost nothing has been learned about dolphins from captive studies.
Likewise, some of the most exciting things we're learning about dolphins and whales are coming from studies of wild individuals. In other words, field studies. For instance, we now know that dolphins and whales have complex cultural traditions. This was learned from field studies, field observations, and actually could never be ascertained in captivity where they're deprived of their normal social relations. So all of the cutting edge research on dolphin and whale lives and behavior and psychology is coming from the wild, not from captive labs." Excerpted from the July 2011 newsletter of the Oceanic Preservation Society, Boulder, Colorado, creators of the Academy Award-winning film "The Cove".

ANNAPURNA, The Divine Mother who is worshipped as the manifestation of all material things, is the Hindu Goddess of nourishment. Also described as She Who is the Grantor of Knowledge, She Who Takes Away All Fear, She Who Gives Wealth and Nourishment, She Who Represents Learning and Arts/Cultural Fulfillment, and She Who Manifests Truth and Efficiency. Also known as Lakshmi, she is said to bring good luck, and is believed to protect her devotees from all kinds of misery and money-related sorrows.
GANESHA is one of the deities best-known and most widely worshipped in the Hindu pantheon. Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles (though traditionally he also places obstacles in the path of those who need to be checked), and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and as a patron of arts and sciences, as the deva of intellect and wisdom, and invoked as patron of letters, learning and writing. Ganesha is identified with the Hindu mantra, Om, and refers to the notion that he personifies the primal sound. The written manifestation of this divine Om symbol when inverted gives the perfect profile of the god with the elephant head:
The image of Ganesha represents man's eternal striving towards integration with nature. Ganesha, is almost always depicted dancing, signifying his ability to rise above Earthly concerns and sorrows; has the head of an elephant, symbolic of auspiciousness, strength and intellectual prowess. He holds a goad, to prod man to the path of righteousness and truth, and a noose, to convey that worldly attachments and desires are a noose. Ganesha is often shown riding on a mouse, which symbolizes those who wish to overcome or subdue destructive desires and be less selfish, a most important quality necessary for spiritual progress.
"I noticed the way a spider had knitted two chairs together. So much social networking goes on in nature, the original Twitter kingdom." ~ Text & photo by Dominique Browning, Slow Love Life blog

Now let's get one thing out of the way. Considering the place was a virtual ghost town at this time last season, I expected to encounter conditions that were, well, spartan.
And that was the case to an extent.
But remember, 12 months ago, the place was considered a lost ski area, a distant memory of snowboarding. So to get on the snow — in Connecticut, in the greater Hartford area, and at Powder Ridge — was truly remarkable.
You know when it hit me? When I sat on the lift, pulled the bar down and looked at the chairs. Hayes said that, in salvaging them, he replaced the decking and gave them a fresh coat of paint, but they had a new look and feel to them. They looked clean.
Yes, the lodge is still being renovated and yes, the food was limited, But all that is being done at a a pretty quick pace. With that, I decided to concentrate on what Powder Ridge had so far in early 2014 rather than what it did not.
Here are the highlights:
Aside from the two main lifts up the center and on the bunny hill, the rental center really stands out. It is spacious and, even at peak hours, no one seemed to wait very long to get fitted and out the door. There were plenty of cool helmets in all kinds of cool colors to satisfy the helmet requirement at the mountain.
The gazebo at the summit puts a nice touch for not only weddings in the warmer months, but it just gives the top of the hill a classy look. Last weekend, you could ski right into it and check out the views.
Everyone on staff — and I mean everyone — had a smile, from Hayes to the lifties to the folks fitting rental boots.
There were a few terrain-park elements to keep the younger crowd happy.
An outdoor brick pizza oven and waffle station filled in the gap well while the marketplace and full-service restaurant are under construction.
Here is what Powder Ridge is looking at when all is said and done:
- A Burton Riglet Park Learning area that "scopes the snow to alleviate the biggest fears about learning — the ability to stop and turn."
- A full repair and snow sports service facility along with a ski and snowboard shop — "With reasonable prices." There are a few basic shop offerings already.
- Additional retail — including an artisan and crafter venue for the holidays.
- Hayes is hinting at using some of the 200 acres for a pick-your-own Christmas tree farm.
- Hilltop weddings at the summit gazebo.
- A full adventure-type outdoor recreation area for the warmer months.
In terms of culinary, Powder Ridge has a five-year plan for offering three levels of food:
- Level 1 is to be a market-type area (yes the waffle house stays) with a full cafeteria.
- Level 2 is to be a full-service tavern-type restaurant where one could get something like an angus burger.
- Level 3 is to be "Fire at the Ridge," a fine dining restaurant presented by Chef Kevin Cottle, the Hell's Kitchen Season 6 runner-up.
Chris Dehnel is a local editor at Patch. He has been writing about snow sports for about a dozen years and is a past president of the Eastern Ski Writers Association. His Snow Business column runs weekly during the season.

Leaders of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) today expressed support for the Serbian government's recent actions to stand up for basic rights of gay-rights demonstrators. "We applaud and support the Serbian authorities for seeking to protect the fundamental rights of those in the Belgrade gay-rights parade to express their views," said Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD), Helsinki Commission Chairman. "From the statements of senior Serbian officials condemning the violence instigated by right-wing groups to the efforts of the police to stop it and arrest the perpetrators, the official response has been the correct one." Update on: Serbia: Attack on LGBT activists at the headquarters of Women in Black
The peace group Women in Black announced today that last night around 1:30 am, two young men invaded the organization's headquarters and with a hammer attacked men and women activists in the kitchen. This incident took place just before the holding of the Pride Parade in Belgrade, which indicates that homophobia is the motive of the attackers, a statement declared. "That it was not a matter of a random incident was proven by the young men entering the room loudly calling for 'faggots' among those present, and looking for a fight," the Women in Black statement added.
Religious women make change happen, whether it's by seeking peace or inciting war. Strong beliefs can inspire social justice or block a woman's access to freedom or equality. Join the International Museum of Women as they explore the relationship between faith and politics in the lives of women around the world.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon isn't quite as sexy right now as the Cabernet Franc but it, too, has plenty of stuff going on. Juicy dark berries, cassis, spices, pencil shavings, licorice and mint all take shape in this generous, radiant, totally inviting wine. A dark, authoritative finish rounds..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark, powerful and implosive. A cool, reticent wine, the 2011 is playing its cards close to the vest today. Plum, black cherry, graphite, rosemary, licorice and melted road tar emerge from the glass, but only reluctantly. The 2011 is big, rich and tannic. Ideally it..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This light and fragrant red is deftly balanced, allowing the cinnamon- and pepper-accented cherry and raspberry flavors to step forward with presence and depth. The wine lingers with intensity and weightlessness, showing tremendous integrity and potential."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dark red/black cherries, menthol, tar, licorice, smoke and tobacco emerge from the 2011 Zinfandel Geyserville. Deep, muscular and imposing, the 2011 boasts impeccable class, pedigree and balance. This is another drop-dead gorgeous wine from Ridge. The blend is 78% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, 4%..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Montana's inky purple color is followed by a rich, sumptuous bouquet of espresso roast, melted chocolate, black currants, charcoal, and subtle background oak. Full-bodied and dense with silky tannins as well as a slightly more velvety texture and opulence than..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate emerges from the glass with layers of smoke, mocha, spices, licorice and leather. It shows gorgeous inner perfume allied to dark tonalities of fruit in a deep, richly expressive style. The explosive finish makes it hard to resist a second taste. This is a highly..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is 100% varietal, from the Loess, Seven Hills, Pepper Bridge, and Mill Creek Upland vineyards. A deep, intense take on Merlot, it?s so dark and concentrated that it dances on the )edge of bitterness, but in a style reminiscent of the finest Italian Merlots, that use that flavor to define and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The fabulous 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Cimarossa Vineyard offers additional evidence of how brilliant this vintage turned out on this high elevation, mountain AVA. Tor told me the crop reached perfect ripeness on Howell Mountain, and the result is a wine of great intensity and lots of mulberry,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Keever's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon bristles on the palate with explosive aromas and flavors that conquer all of the senses. Vibrant, floral aromatics meld seamlessly into a gracious core of fruit as the wine opens up in the class. At once structured yet delicate, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is pure..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Across the board, Chris's 2011s are more linear and supple than the 2010s, without the back-end level of depth or concentration found in that vintage. Already complex and up-front, without the density found in the 2010, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is still gorgeous. Loaded with leafy tobacco,..

Some of these women learned to paint in their fathers' workshops and others were noble women whose advantages in life included the ability to learn and practice the arts.
Women artists of the time tended, like their male counterparts, to focus on portraits of individuals, religious themes and still life paintings. A few Flemish and Dutch women became successful, with portraits and still life pictures, but also more family and group scenes than women from Italy portrayed.
Properzia de Rossi(1490-1530)
An Italian sculptor and miniaturist (on fruit pits!) who learned art from Marcantonio Raimondi, Raphael's engraver.
Levina Teerlinc(Levina Teerling)
Her miniature portraits were favorites of the English court in the time of the children of Henry VIII. This Flemish-born artist was more successful in her time than Hans Holbein or Nicholas Hilliard, but no works that can be attributed to her with certainty survive.
Catharina van Hemessen(Catarina van Hemessen, Catherina van Hemessen)
A painter from Antwerp, taught by her father Jan van Sanders Hemessen. She is known for her religious paintings and her portraits.
Sofonisba Anguissola(1531-1626)
Of noble background, she learned painting from Bernardino Campi and was well known in her own time. Her portraits are good examples of Renaissance humanism: the individuality of her subjects comes through. Four of her five sisters were also painters.
Lucia Anguissola(1540?-1565)
Sister of Sofonisba Anguissola, her surviving work is "Dr. Pietro Maria."
Diana Scultori Ghisi(Diana Mantuana or Diana Mantovana)
An engraver of Mantura and Rome, unique among women of the time in being permitted to put her name on her plates.
Lavinia Fontana(1552-1614)
Her father was the artist Prospero Fontana and it was in his workshop that she learned to paint. She found time to paint even though she became the mother of eleven! Her husband was the painter Zappi, and he also worked with her father. Her work was much in demand, including large-scale public commissions. She was official painter at the papal court for a time. After her father's death she moved to Rome where she was elected to the Roman Academy in recognition of her success. She painted portraits and also depicted religious and mythological themes.
Barbara Longhi(1552-1638)
Her father was Luca Longhi. She focused on religious themes, especially paintings depicting the Madonna and Child (12 of her known 15 works).
Marietta Robusti Tintoretto(La Tintoretta)
A Venetian, apprenticed to her father, the painter Jacobo Rubusti, known as Tintoretto, who was also a musician. She died at 30 in childbirth.
Esther Inglis(Esther Inglis Kello)
Esther Inglis (originally spelled Langlois) was born to a Huguenot family that had moved to Scotland to escape persecution. She learned calligraphy from her mother and served as an official scribe for her husband. She used her calligraphy skills to produce miniature books, some of which included a self-portrait.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
Even with several player battling flu-like symptoms — including junior Jared Dickey and senior Rico Thompson — Stillwater High's hot shooting and fast-paced offense was more than Enid could handle as the Pioneers rolled over the Plainsmen 61-46 Tuesday at the Pioneer Fieldhouse.
"We were fighting sickness, but I was proud of our team," Stillwater coach Michael Davis said. "They were able to get it together. We know that every win isn't going to be a 20-point blowout, but we had some guys step up big for us."
Senior Carson Teel finished with 13 points to lead the Pioneers (10-3), but early on it was Enid (4-8) that dictated the pace by forcing Stillwater to play more of a half-court game instead of its typical run-and-shoot offense.
Leading 16-12 after the first quarter, Stillwater finally broke the game open in the second quarter. Using that pressure defense, Stillwater ended the half with a 13-4 run — sparked by Braydn Murrell's steal and layup — to take a 34-21 lead at halftime.
The Pioneers continued to pour it on in the second half as players like Caleb Watkins and Brett Budke knocked down shots from seemingly everywhere. At one point Watkins made three straight baskets, forcing the Plainsmen to burn a timeout and figure out a different defensive strategy.
"You have to give them credit, they shot well," Enid coach Ryan Wilkinson said. "We talked about it at the end of the quarter, but they just kept knocking down shots. There really isn't a whole lot you can do when that happens."
Along with Teel, Watkins finished with 8 points and Budke had 13 points and 4 rebounds. As a team Stillwater also went 10 of 11 from the free-throw line.
"This was a big win for us," Davis said. "One of our goals is to win every game in January. It's just one in a line, but right now we're on our way to achieving that goal. We just have to keep working and get ready for the next one."
Lady Pioneers fall to Pacers
In a game so evenly match, sometimes it's the little things that can make the difference. The Stillwater High School girls basketball team learned that lesson the hard way against No. 9 Enid Tuesday at the Pioneer Fieldhouse.
Leading by as much as 11 in the first half, several turnovers — including three in the final minute — ultimately helped the Pacers stave off Stillwater's upset bid with a 52-44 victory.
Austyn Iven's 3-pointer with 3:24 left in the first quarter provided the first blow in the heavyweight fight, helping Stillwater (8-5) end the first quarter with an 11-2 run.
"We played well most of the game," Stillwater coach Carl Treat said. "It shows the quality of team that we have and what we can do. It's just, we need to get the mixture to finish possessions and finish game like that."
Back-to-back 3-point possessions gave the Pacers (10-2) a little boost, but Stillwater got back on track with a pair of baskets from Jenny Scarbrough to take a 29-21 lead at halftime.
"It was a game of runs,"Treat said. "... Basketball is a game of runs and unfortunately they had the last one late. We felt pretty confident going into halftime with a lead, but we just couldn't hold them off."
Andi Pierce sparked Enid's offense with the Pacers' lone 3-pointer of the game, as Enid ended the
Stillwater had its chances late but it seemed like every time the Lady Pioneers had an opportunity to tie the game, the Pacers Abby Lee came up with several key offensive rebounds.
"We just had too many turnovers in the second half and too many offensive rebounds on their end really hurt us," Treat said. "I think they had three possessions in a row where they scored off second-chance points in the third and fourth quarters."
Iven knocked down four 3-pointers en route to a team-high 18 points, while Callie Atkins and Lauren Stettnisch each had 6 points and 3 rebounds for the Lady Pioneers.
The road doesn't get any easier for Stillwater as the Pioneers travel to No. 1 Edmond Santa Fe Friday.
"We know that rebounding is certainly going to be an issue against them," Treat said. "We just have to keep getting better and keep improving on it each day in practice."

Supernatural Episode 814
"Trial and Error"
Written By: Andrew Dabb
Directed By: Kevin Parks
Original Airdate: 13 February 2013
In This Episode...
Kevin has finally had a breakthrough with the tablets. It seems that there is a gauntlet of three tests. After each test is completed, a spell must be said. In theory, after the third test, the gates of hell should be slammed shut. Kevin has the spell, and he has the first task, which he turns over to Sam and Dean. They must slay a hellhound and bathe in its blood. Doesn't seem too hard - they've killed hellhounds in the past.
Sam does some research to see who may have made a deal with the devil 10 years ago. He finds it in the Cassity family, Idaho farmers who strike oil in a place that shouldn't have oil, and become the real-live Beverly Hillbillies. The Winchesters head to Idaho where the groundskeeper, Ellie, thinks they are answering the ad for farmhands. The boys take the job.
Over dinner, the farm owners - Alice (a Cassity) and her husband Carl - hear a wolf in the distance. Worried about her horses, Alice goes to investigate. Sam and Dean follow, but it is Carl who is devoured by the hellhound. The boys are at a loss, but the rest of the Cassity clan is coming to town for Carl's funeral. The walking reality show cliches include a 75 year old patriarch who married a 25 year old lingerie model; a drunk failed country singer; and the youngest of the group Margie, who ran away to Paris about 10 years ago. Dad and Margie head into the woods to kill the beast that killed Carl, and Dean convinces them to let him come along. Margie is killed by a hellhound.
Sam and Dean go into hardcore hunter mode. The remaining family members - none of whom will own up to signing over their souls (even though they all remember dining with a man named Crowley 10 years ago) are handcuffed to the furniture inside the house, and sealed in with some voodoo powder while Sam stands guard. Dean heads outside with special hellhound x-ray specs that allow him to see the beast. He hears music and finds Ellie having a private party in her quarters. She admits that she signed up with Crawley, in order to cure her mother's Parkinson's disease. Crowley neglected to mention that hellhounds would come to collect her soul, and it is here now.
Dean goes outside to meet the hellhound. It attacks, knocking off his x-ray specs, knocking him into a wall, and taking a big gash out of his side. Luckily Sam ignored his brother's dictate to remain in the house, so he is there to shoot the hound, wrestle it to the ground, and slit it open. Dean tries to read the inscription, but since he didn't bathe in the hound's blood, it doesn't count. He reluctantly lets Sammy read it, which means that Sam must complete the other two trials. When Sam says the spell, he is overcome with pain, and his arm glows translucent red before everything goes back to normal.
Dig It or Bury It?
I liked it. The story itself was kind of a means to an end, but I thought the interplay between the brothers was excellent. I think it is safe to say they are no longer fighting.
Sibling Rivalry
No rivalry at all here. Instead, Dean steps up as big brother and refuses to let Sam leave the house while he hunts the hellhound. Completing these trials is likely a death sentence. Dean sees himself as a grunt, as dying with a gun in his hand. But Sam sees a light at the end of the tunnel, and he wants his little brother to live in a world where the gates of hell are closed, where he can have a wife and kids and grandkids. But by the episode's end, Sam explains that he believes he can pull Dean through the light at the end of the tunnel, and Dean can live in his sunny world. Dean won't admit it, but he likes this idea.
An old friend returns with dreams of killing people - but were they just dreams?

MJ170 weeks agoThe specific numbers are secret, and they adjust over time as overall sales totals rise on the site.
It's a pretty impressive amount, though!
TheDoctor1170 weeks agoover a thousand? or over 5,000? OR OVER 9,000!?
ManoloFresco170 weeks agoOVER 9,000?!?!?!?!?!?!
Scafl170 weeks agoYou just wait 'til it grows back!
primus420170 weeks agoWithout giving too much away, how many digits does the number of shirts sold have that has currently qualified for pancakes as of Q1 2011? Is the number of digits in the amount of shirts sold that has recently qualified for a "Super Popular" doublestack greater than or equal too the number of digits in the first number?
Keep up the good work!
primus420167 weeks agoI have a pancakes question for which I didn't want to start a new thread. Sometimes I look at older prints in the gallery and I noticed that shirts that used to have pancakes now don't. Do you take them out manually or what? What happens to make a shirt lose pancakes?
Matt_Dearden167 weeks agoAs I understand it, the pancakes are added on automatically provided set requirements are met. As the requirements increase, the older shirts fail to meet them anymore. The only exception to this is particularly old shirts where they were added manually.
landfieldjc167 weeks agoI think it depends on weather the specific shirt color tastes good with butter and/or maple syrup.

Editor's Note: Tammy Lipps' gourmet but easy, decadent but delicious Valentine's dinner menu was a big hit last year, so we're pleased she accepted our invitation to share another "eat in," romantic, flavorful menu.
It's me with that decadent, romantic, comfort food dinner for two. What's on the menu?
- Individual Lobster Pot Pies
- Baby Greens With Edible Flowers, Fresh Mint, Heart-Shaped Strawberries, Candied Pecans in Champagne Vinaigrette
- Flourless Chocolate Cake With Fresh Raspberries, Raspberry Coulis and Whipped Cream if you MUST…
- Your favorite Champagne!!!!
***How do you cut a strawberry into a heart shape?
If you look closely at the berry BEFORE you do anything to it, you can already see that if you carefully remove the green top with a paring knife, you have to do very little to actually shape the strawberry into a heart.
At the top, cut into the side of the green top on two sides, into the center, as if you are "coring" the berry, leaving the two round mounds (as if it were a heart). You may have to do a little creative shaping with the paring knife.
Then, after washing, slice through the berry vertically to create two or three thick strawberry heart-shaped slices (depending on size and thickness of the berry).
Easy and Elegant Baby Greens and Herb Salad With Edible Flowers, Heart-Shaped Strawberries and Champagne Vinaigrette
1 pint fresh strawberries
1 package/bag of mixed baby greens
1 Herbed Salad mix with fresh mint. Just purchase mint separately and add if not available in your store.
1 small package of edible flowers. Found in produce section of better markets
1 red onion sliced
1 small bag of candied pecans
Wash and spin lettuces in salad spinner and toss together in salad bowl with edible flowers, onion, candied pecans, fresh mint and heart-shaped strawberry slices. (Or place the strawberries on top of the dressed salad for a romantic touch). Lightly dress with Champagne Vinaigrette right before serving.
Champagne Vinaigrette
½ teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Mix all ingredients together in small bowl. Slowly Whisk in the olive oil until the oil and other ingredients have emulsified. Set aside until ready to dress the salad.
Individual Lobster Pot Pies
This is my variation of a recipe that I love by Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa.
1 large yellow onion, chopped
½ small fennel bulb, chopped
1/4 pound unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups clam juice
1 tablespoon Pernod (optional: this licorice-like liqueur flavor is also created by using the fresh tarragon)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 pound cooked fresh lobster meat
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
1 cup frozen small whole onions
¼ cup fresh tarragon, chopped
1/2 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
2 store bought puff pastry sheets
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt the butter and sauté onions and fennel in large sauté pan on medium heat for approximately 10 minutes or until slightly translucent.
You are now making the roux for the filling of the pot pie by adding the flour and cooking another few minutes. Flour has to be cooked so it doesn't taste like flour in the filling. Stir the flour mixture every minute or so.
Slowly add the clam juice (it is better to add at room temperature than straight out of the fridge and cold), Pernod if using, salt and pepper and simmer, stirring every so often while sauce thickens. You are looking for a "pot pie filling" thickness here. If it gets too thick, add a little more clam juice or even warm water or cream to loosen. Then add the cream. Stir into the sauce and turn off heat.
Cut lobster meat into nice meaty chunks so it is not lost and shredded into nothingness. Add the lobster, frozen peas, frozen onions, fresh parsley and tarragon into the sauce, taste for seasoning and set aside.
Butter two entrée size ramekins or individual baking dishes of your choice.
Open your puff pastry sheets. (It is easier to work with cold sheets, not frozen, so allow some time on the counter to thaw slightly.)
Measure the opening of your entrée ramekins and cut a piece/circle of the puff pastry, slightly larger than the opening of your dish so that when placed on top of the filling in the dish, it will hang over the sides and create an amazing butter crust for the lobster filling.
Add the lobster mixture to the buttered ramekins/baking dishes and top them with the puff pastry circles. You may crimp them, as if you were making a pie, around the edges or just leave them hanging but secure them slightly by pressing them into the outside of the baking dish to keep all the lobster goodness inside while baking.
***Optional: Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter and cut out smaller heart-shaped pastry to add to the top of the crust for decoration. Just "glue" the heart to the unbaked crust top by using a drop of water.
Make a few cuts (you can do this in a decorative pattern) with a small paring knife into the crust to vent while baking.
Brush the top of the pastry crust with a little egg wash (one large egg and 1 tablespoon of water whisked together) with a pastry brush for a glistening finished crust.
Pop into the preheated oven to bake for 45 minutes or so, or until the pies are bubbling and crust is puffed and golden. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
***You can do all of this ahead/same day, before baking (except for the egg wash step) and keep in fridge for a few hours. Remove from fridge with enough time to let the dish come to room temp. Pop in the oven while enjoying champagne and appetizers then remove from oven and serve.
Sweet Endings
Flourless Chocolate Cake With Raspberry Coulis, Fresh Raspberries and Whipped Cream
Simple, easy, elegant and definitely do ahead!
8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped or morsels
2 sticks unsalted butter
6 large eggs
1 ½ cups sugar or baker's sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, more for dusting
2 pints fresh raspberries
Purchased whipped cream
1 9- or 10-inch spring form pan
You need a 9- or 10-inch round spring form pan, buttered with buttered parchment paper. Butter the pan by placing the parchment round on the bottom of the pan to help unmold cleanly after baking, and then butter the parchment paper in the pan.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt chocolate and butter over a baine marie or double boiler (simmering water in a sauce pan with a metal mixing bowl set on top for melting the chocolate butter mixture without burning it).
Once melted and mixed together until smooth, remove from heat and whisk in sugar. Whisk in eggs one at a time. Sift cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture just until combined. Pour batter into pan and bake until the toothpick test comes out with moist crumbs, about 35 minutes. (Everyone's oven is different…I always check baked goods after 20 minutes to see how they are doing.)
Cool cake in pan until cool enough to release from the pan, invert on plate to remove the parchment paper and invert again onto platter for pretty presentation. Dust cake with additional cocoa powder.
Rinse all the raspberries and drain. Reserve 1/3 of the berries for topping the cake. Blend the rest of the berries in a food processor or blender to make the puree or coulis. You may add a small amount of sugar if berries are not quite sweet enough for you. Pour the coulis into a container to save for serving with the cake.
When ready to serve, cut small wedges of cake, it is very intense and rich. Before putting wedges on plates, pour a puddle of raspberry coulis in the center of the plate. Place cake wedge on top of coulis puddle. Drop several berries randomly over the top of cake wedges. Top with whipped cream if desired and serve.
Enjoy a COMFORTable dinner at home with someone you love or just like A LOT!

Though already employed full time, former U.S. Marine Cpl. Josh O'Connor is ready to work over 40 hours if it means recovering from the devastation Sandy left at the Jersey Shore.
"I can work 80 hours a week," the 29-year-old from Ocean Grove said during the Hiring Our Heroes job fair at the George P. Vanderveer American Legion Post 129 in Toms River Tuesday. "When this happened, I didn't think about money. It was duty to where I live. You do it for your community,"
The corporal was one of an estimated over 150 veterans and service members who inquired about employment in trade and other jobs, said Kevin Schmiegel, executive director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Hiring Our Heroes initiative.
"If we're rebuilding New Jersey, what better workforce to have than having veterans who are proven on the battlefield," said Schmiegel, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel who served for 20 years.
"There's clearly a need," Schmiegel said. "There's a lot of focus on demolition, on cleaning up before we can do the building. There's a lot of government employment as well."
Among the 29 employment representatives at the fair hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and several state and federal agencies was Hardhats to Helmets, an organization that helps service members transition to construction careers. Chris DiMeo, a program coordinator in New Jersey, said that about 30 people signed up at his booth and many more have called the organization looking for ways to get involved. Despite the interest in recovery employment, it remains unclear how many jobs Sandy recovery will create.
"I think there's work on the horizon," DiMeo said. "It's still early. It's still very premature."
Veterans are well suited for the potentially challenging work, said American Legion Post 129 Commander Richard Gato, since they're disciplined, are used to working long hours and have served in dangerous environments.
"You can't go wrong hiring a vet," he said. "They're dependable."
"They bring skills to the workplace," Schmiegel said. "We spend tens of thousands of dollars to train men and women out of high school for the military. Why don't we repurpose those skills for the private sector?"
In the storm's aftermath, many like O'Connor didn't need to be employed to help the recovery process. He volunteered his time in Ocean Gate, helping his neighbors remove debris and flooring from their destroyed homes.
"I wasn't looking for work then, I was just going around helping. It was all volunteer," O'Connor said.
Going forward, O'Connor recognizes that skilled laborers will be needed to restore the battered shore towns, some of which saw houses ripped from their foundations.
"But now there's a lot of building going on," he said.
With 800,000 veterans currently unemployed and 1 million service members expected to leave the military over the next five years, Schmiegel is eager to get them back to work. Though Sandy was devastating to many, he said there is a "silver lining."
"The way I look at it is, from something very bad, some good can come out of it," he said. "If we can get veterans who are unemployed right now back to work, then there is some good that can come out of it."
In addition to Sandy rebuilding work, Schmiegel said that veterans should receive the training required to enter the growing economic sectors of energy, healthcare and transportation.
"But no one is doing that right now," he said. "This is about an opportunity for America to bring talented men and women into the workplace in sectors of the economy that we know are growing."
O'Connor came away from the hiring fair with a number of job leads he said he hopes can come to fruition as part time work. But for those who don't find recovery work right away, Schmiegel said that with efforts only recently beginning another hiring fair will be necessary when construction work ramps up.
"I think it will be important for us to come back again to focus on both commercial and residential building," he said. "These are long term sustainable careers and rebuilding New Jersey provides an opportunity."

Showtime's terrorism thriller "Homeland" has nearly everything: big-name stars, glossy production values and a surprising triple Emmy sweep last week.
The one thing it lacks? A giant audience. But under TV's new economics, big ratings don't necessarily matter anymore.
"Homeland" is a tense drama about an emotionally troubled CIA agent played by Claire Danes, who's plagued by doubts about a U.S. Marine (Damian Lewis) held captive by Al Qaeda. It costs about $3 million an episode to make but averaged fewer than 2 million viewers in its initial airings — less than one-tenth of what a broadcast hit such as CBS' "NCIS" gets.

Serious cool alert time. There is an all new fully analog drum machine with 64 patterns, pattern programmability, MIDI and trigger out called the Delptronics LBD-1. It's priced quite nicely at $240 USD. There is also a kit and Eurorack module.
"The LDB-1 "Little Drummer Boy" is a modern recreation of the classic analog drum machines of the 80′s, like the Roland TR-606 and TR-808. Our goal was to recreate the warm sounds of the classics, using all analog circuitry – not samples. The brain of the LDB-1 is a powerful digital microcontroller that triggers the analog drum sounds and provides the sequencer, programmability and connectivity features. Easily interfaces with other instruments, synthesizers, DAWs, etc. through analog connections, MIDI, and DINsync." – delptronics

"Some of the most truthful and useful words on [happiness] to be published in recent years . . . A marvellous synthesis of good sense, which would make a bracing detox for the self-help junkie." —Julian Baggini, The Guardian "The Antidote is a gem. Countering a self-help tradition in which 'positive thinking' too often takes the place of actual thinking, Oliver Burkeman returns our attention to several of philosophy's deeper traditions and does so with a light hand and a wry sense of humor. You'll come away from this book enriched—and, yes, even a little happier." —Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind "Quietly subversive, beautifully written, persuasive, and profound, Oliver Burkeman's book will make you think—and smile." —Alex Bellos, author of Here's Looking at Euclid "Addictive, wise, and very funny." —Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist "What unites [Burkeman's] travels, and seems to drive the various characters he meets, from modern-day Stoics to business consultants, is disillusionment with a patently false idea that something as complex as the goal of human happiness can be found by looking in a book . . . It's a simple idea, but an exhilarating and satisfying one." —Alexander Larman, The Observer"This is an excellent book; Burkeman makes us see that our current approach, in which we want happiness but search for certainty—often in the shape of material goods—is counterproductive." —William Leith, The Telegraph"Fascinating . . . After years spent consulting specialists—from psychologists to philosophers and even Buddhists—Burkeman realised they all agreed on one thing: . . . in order to be truly happy, we might actually need to be willing to experience more negative emotions—or, at least, to learn to stop running so hard from them." —Mandy Francis, The Daily Mail"Splendid . . . Readable and engaging." —British Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, The Times (London)

An important thing to know before you decide to rent a scanner/reader is what kind of barcode your trade show will be using on their badges. This is important because it helps us find the best scanner for your needs. 1D barcoded badges usually contain a combination of numbers and letters that relates to a database records which contains all the information of that person (for example, ABC123). It is similar to a license plate which has numbers and letters on it and has no meaning in and of itself, except when the license number is used to look up your information in your database record. This type of barcode would have no value for someone that has no access to the database record and would be meaningless.
On the other hand, a 2D barcode can contain the complete database record and when it is scanned it is like being connected to that database record. This kind of badge can be useful to exhibitors because they can scan the barcode and capture the full name, address, email, phone, etc. into the barcode reader and then transfer this data into a spreadsheet for later mailings and other marketing activities.
The following images are examples of the different barcodes.
One-dimensional Two-dimensional
Technology is changing at lightening speed, but how is the barcode itself changing with the times? The most basic barcode is made of vertical black and white stripes (a 1-dimensional or 1D barcode) which usually represents a set of alphanumeric characters. Those characters are then linked to an item, product name, price, etc. in a database. Now, 2-dimensional or 2D barcode are able to encode more data in a smaller space using various geometric patterns. So, for example on a driver's license the name of a person, their age and their address can all be encoded in a 2D barcode the size of a postage stamp. A couple years ago, MIT reportedly came up with a completely new type of "barcode," called the Bokode, which is only 3 millimeters wide (about the size of the @ sign on a typical keyboard). The Bokode can hold much more information than either a 1D or 2D barcode and can be read from a further distance using a camera-based interaction. Currently, the Bokode requires a special lens and light source to work, but in the future it could be much less expensive and easier to use. The new technologies promise more productivity and greater savings, however organizations can still greatly benefit from the tried and true technology of the basic 1D barcode. All barcodes, if used properly, help save time, money and effort by automating tasks that used to be done by hand!

SIM card shipments to rise to 6.6 billion by 2017
Annual volumes of SIM cards shipped are forecast to increase from 4.8 billion 2011 to 6.6 billion in 2017, according to IMS Research.
Annual volumes of SIM cards shipped are forecast to increase from 4.8 billion 2011 to 6.6 billion in 2017. This is one of the leading conclusions from IMS Research's (recently acquired by IHS Inc.) just published report SIM Cards – World – 2012.
"In terms of volumes the SIM card market is by far the largest smart card market and this is forecast to continue to be the case over the next five years," stated Alex Green, director of IMS Research's Financial and ID Technology Group and the report's author. "That being said, the market is forecast to change somewhat in complexion during this time.
"One of the most interesting changes will be in terms of the card form factors. The standard 2FF form factor has dominated the SIM card market for many years now. However, the smaller 3FF form factor has grabbed share during 2011, with nearly 200 million shipments. Further even smaller form factors, such as 4FF, are also forecast to take share during the next five years. The share taken by the traditional 2FF form factor is forecast to have fallen to 60% by 2017"
Non-removable form factors are also forecast to see success over the report's forecast period. This will be particularly driven by cellular-enabled industrial M2M devices where removable form factors are less practical and higher environmental tolerances are required. The big question remains as to whether these embedded SIMs will also be used in traditional cellular devices.
he product types that drive the SIM market are also forecast to change to some extent over the next five years. Smartphones and traditional cellular handsets have been the primary end-devices for SIM cards historically. Although these are still forecast to drive the bulk of the market, cellular-enabled consumer electronics devices, such as tablets, PCs, USB dongles and cellular-enabled industrial M2M devices (such as utility meters, vehicles, asset tracking devices and EFT-POS) are forecast to take approaching 15% of the market in 2017.
The IMS Research report SIM Cards – World – 2012 examines these issues in detail, along with presenting forecasts for more than 60 individual countries. The report also explores the impact of various embedded SIM card market models as well as presenting the market by air interface, NFC secure element uptake, SIM memory, IC markets plus much more.

Inside Our Process | Rubell Family
We only show art we own. That is a founding principle of the Rubell Family Collection, a principle that gives us tremendous freedom and enormous constraints. When we set out to conceptualize a new exhibition, we know we will only get the depth and quality we seek if we already have a strong foundation of works by a core group of artists. Once the exhibition is determined, we then collect into it, buying works that we consider essential right up to the closing date for the catalogue, just one month before the opening of the show...

McALESTER —
Authorities used DNA from a convicted offender specimen to identify remains found in December on a ranch north of Quinton.
The remains were identified in June 20 as those of convicted sex offender Timothy "Tim" Curtis Peterson, 29, last seen Sept. 10, 2009, according to report issued June 26 by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in Oklahoma City.
Peterson's remains were investigated the Pittsburg County Sheriffs Dec. 13 after they received a call regarding human bones found on a ranch just north of Quinton, off State Highway 71.
Pittsburg County Investigator Tommy Lyons and OCME Anthropologist Angela Berg processed the scene and determined the remains had been at the site from two to five years.
According the U.S. Marshal's Service, Peterson was a registered sex offender who brutally raped and forcibly sodomized a 7-year-old girl in 2000.
He was last seen Sept. 10 2009 the same day he was accused of beating his 70-year-old grandfather unconscious with pool stick, and piece of wood. Peterson was also accused of stealing his grandfathers truck and $2,000, the report states.
He was last register as a sex offender on July 15, 2009 and was declared a delinquent offender on Dec. 14, 2009.
He was considered extremely dangerous, according to the US Marshals Service.
In March the OSBI completed a facial reconstruction from Peterson's remains in an effort to identify them.
Authorities say they haven't determined how or when Peterson died.

Caledonia voters will head to the polls on Feb. 19 to narrow down the field of candidates running for the Trustee No. 3 seat on the Village Board.
The top two voter-getters will advance to the April 2 general election.
The candidates are incumbent Trustee Kevin Wanggaard and challengers Jim Tiderman and Maureen Cramer. (Click on link for biographical information on each candidate).
To provide residents with the most information on where they stand on the issues facing the village, Caledonia Patch invited readers to submit questions that we posed to the candidates.
Here, in their own words, are the candidates' answers to those questions as well as some posed by Patch.Why are you running for Village Board? Maureen Cramer 1. I want to preserve the nature of Caledonia, which is the reason most of us live there.
2. I want to be a voice for the people of Caledonia and will promote cooperation, transparency and two-way communication.
3. I believe that commercial growth belongs in commercial areas such as along Douglas Ave and on the Interstate.
Jim Tiderman I have chosen to run for the mere fact that every person ultimately wants the same in a community: meaningful growth, protection of your home investment, a safe place to live, work and raise your family. I feel I will bring to the Board a proactive approach to business with the ultimate goal of protecting the investments of the Caledonia residents and at the same time creating true growth that doesn't strain our municipality or negatively affect local businesses. True job growth is key. Kevin Wanggaard
I have been fortunate to be able to serve the residents of Caledonia over the past ten years. Throughout my terms on the Town and Village Boards, we have been able to balance budgets, maintain and improve services, and hold the line on property taxes. Our future as a Village looks promising and I would like to continue working for the people!
What are your greatest strengths as a candidate, and how would you leverage those strengths to benefit the community?Maureen Cramer As a salesperson and team leader, my job is to listen to my customers and fellow team members and make decisions and recommendations based on their needs and goals. As a board member, I will seek out public opinion and address/acknowledge the concerns of residents. I will be their voice on the board. Jim Tiderman My greatest strength is handling adversity with a professional approach no matter what the outcome may be. Business can be very cut throat in life but you have to move forward with the ultimate goal: What is best for the business and not myself. I take that approach with my companies and I would instill those same standards if on the Board with the Caledonia residents first in mind and the business community also.
You have to be able to bring companies to the table, set parameters that are feasible for businesses to develop here and yet have the business background to hold companies accountable for what effects they will have on our community including the environment, the residents and local businesses including our police and fire departments. Kevin Wanggaard As a current Board member representing the residents of Caledonia, it is my responsibility to do what I believe is in the best interests of the community as a whole, to further our growth and maintain public services while protecting our quality of life and preserving the areas within our borders.
What is the biggest issue facing the district, and how would you address it, if elected? Maureen Cramer Caledonia will have many opportunities for commercial and residential growth. I believe the Land Use Plan that was a cooperative effort between residents and the village for controlled growth needs to be followed. Jim Tiderman Our Biggest Issue is the way we decide to develop our municipality in the future . And the Water Agreement opens doors for that. I would like to see development that gives people reasons to enter and spend in our community. Our land use plan is very meaningful and detailed and should be taken into consideration relative to growth. The obvious issue is availability of land and where that land is. It limits size, scope and location and we need to be mindful of that. Set ourselves apart as a place that has a strong sense of community identity. Having a "center" a downtown, a la Greendale or Grafton, a destination, while expanding industrial park and opportunities along the highway that gives people a reason to enter our community and not simply drive through. I drive and see communities across Wisconsin as part of my job in the transportation industry. I talk to business people within those communities and I have established connections within the business community to promote ideas about growth that could set us apart from our neighboring communities.
Kevin Wanggaard Bringing water and sewer out to the Interstate along the Hwy K corridor, by considering all options with input from the business community and the community as a whole! What kind of future development would you like to see in Caledonia, and how would you work to attract such development?
Maureen Cramer Planned and controlled development within established parameters. Development should not adversely affect people, their property or our shared natural resources. Jim Tiderman I believe in controlled growth that does not put a strain on our municipality such as fire and police protection. We have the lowest unemployment rate in the state and a limited fire and police force so we have to be observant of that.
You have to be proactive...it means get out in the community. Ask questions and promote Caledonia to other businesses in different areas of the state and even Illinois. Get businesses to truly want to come to Caledonia and be a part of this community.
We have a rural feel that our current Caledonia residents love yet we are close to businesses. However, we need to grow our industrial areas and the only way to do that is solicit yourself. We can no longer wait for businesses to fall into our lap. I take a proactive approach to growing both of my businesses and that is the same approach I would take if a member of our board. Kevin Wanggaard Fostering a good business environment within the Village needs to be a primary focus. We must continue working with existing businesses to strenghthen their presence, projecting a positive environment for business startups while maintaining our rural character. This strategy allows us to help businesses retain their current employment levels and when possible allow them to expand. Future development in the village,could be dependent on something as simple as access to water as demonstrated in the Hwy K and I-94 corridors. The Board's vision along with multiple factors through execution of following a process will determine the next step.

Well that may be true what Chris Rock says, but I live by another motto. You never know till you try, and I've tried with success. I would like to put some of those that "swear" they would never attempt such a shot in front of a world record buck at 12 yards ready to bolt at any split second because he busted you and see if they still react the same way. I'm no casino grinder, but I know for a fact my money would be on an arrow flying. You can't tell me if this situation presented itself and there was no "other" way to wait out a better shot that 99% of the naysayers would let that buck slide, especially with so much at stake. That, in my mind, would be a true test to all of those on here that claim to be purely ethical.
I cannot say that I have faced this test on a "world record" but I have faced it on P&Y deer several times and I have not taken the shot. The lesson I learned on a 2.5 year old 8 point, in 1998 was enough to stay with me. Call BS if you wish but I am no more likely to take an inhumane shot on a wall hanger than I am on a young doe. In fact, I'd say I am more likely to open up my shot choices on does because I am more relaxed and likely to shoot better.

Secondly, your last two setences contradict themselves. I don't understand.

Secondly, your last two setences contradict themselves. I don't understand.
Yeah, I guess you are right. Thanks for the chance to clarify.
I will not take a more risky shot just because a deer is large. If anything, I will take more conservative shots on big deer. Big deer make me nervous so I know my skill will fall off. I may look at a fat doe standing relaxed at 35 yards and ark my arrow right into her heart because I am relaxed where on a big buck I may not take that shot.

Homemade whipped cream. Try it just once and you'll never look at the store brands again. Nothing beats the flavor or texture, and the method is simple. Purists are right -- using a hand whisk is one of the best ways. But here's a secret: I think the food processor method is the best.
Here are some tips for making perfect whipped cream:

On Wednesday night, we went to the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown again to climb the indoor climbing wall. We try to get there one night a week to hone our climbing skills.
There are several challenging routes designated by different colored tapes. After climbing until our fingers and arms are sore, we retreat to the racquetball courts to finish our nightly workout.
The climbing wall is on the end of the swimming-pool area, but high above the pool is another adventure area _ the High Ropes Challenge Course.
When we arrived, a group of kids were being instructed on the side of the pool. They were wearing climbing harnesses and were tethered to a cable overhead with two webbed straps and locking carabineers. At that point, they were learning to hook and unhook their safety straps before ascending to the high ropes.
The high ropes course is 30 feet above the two pools. Participants in the course will climb up through a rope-net tunnel and hook their safety lines to a steel cable that runs along the peak of the building.
There are several elements to the rope course. The first is crossing a rope net. When you get to the end of the net, there's a cage. An instructor then commands you to unhook one safety line and move it to a new section of the overhead cable. Then you release the second carabineer and move the second line to the new section. That way, you're always hooked into the safety cable.
The next challenge is a V-rope set up. You walk through a V-formation created by several ropes knotted to the bottom of a single one. After crossing that section, you stand in another cage and again switch your safety lines to the next section.
Other challenges include crossing a single rope for your feet with the help of another overhead for your hands and a section called the window, a wooden frame with an opening in the middle that you walk around.
At the end of the course, you're lowered into a diving pool or onto a dry section of the tile floor.
This course offers many vertical and horizontal challenges that test participants mentally and physically. It teaches many things such as taking instruction, how to work with others and how to work under pressure. It challenges any perceived limits you might have.
It's like rock climbing for me. I was afraid of heights before taking up climbing, but I was able to work through it. Today, I'm scaling walls and cliffs without a problem.
When the weather is good, there's an outdoor high-rope challenge course with 19 challenge areas and two levels _ 25 and 38 feet _ with a zip line.
The Clark Gym offers community rope-course instruction in both areas, which are available to gym members and the community. I'm looking forward to doing it and plan on joining one of the classes in the spring. The schedule is available on the Internet.
You never know. You might end up having to cross a rope that frays with each step over some bottomless gorge to escape spear-throwing natives in a bug-infested, tropical jungle some day.
What's Happening?
Oneonta's Main Street Baptist Church will host a presentation by Charles Alsheimer at 7 p.m. March 23. "Whitetail: A Journey Through the Seasons" and "Hunting the Whitetail Rut" will be featured during the event, which is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6 p.m., with free coffee and vendor displays.

Belmont's Leah Brams continues to secure her place as one of the top freshmen harriers in Massachusetts by placing second to Falmouth sophomore Lauren O'Neil at the Eastern Mass Division III Cross Country Championships held in Wrentham on Saturday, Nov. 10.
Brams will now take her talents to the All-State meet being held next Saturday, Nov. 17, at Northfield Mountain in western Massachusetts.
The Marauders' 9th grader ran the five kilometer course (3.1 miles) in 19 minutes and 5.5 second to take a clear second place behind O'Neil, who won with a 18:42, and in front of Natick's sophomore Sarah Lagan who finished nearly 100 meters behind the Belmont runner.
Running a sub-6:05 per mile pace, Brams finished nearly 36 seconds faster then the next frosh, Dracut's Rachel Flores, who finished 16th.
Brams' performance was one of the top by a freshman in the six division races run Saturday, although the times in all of the races are colored by the pace of the leaders and the tactics used. Only Division II champion Margie Cullen (18:53.4) and Division I runner-up Rebecca Grusby (a very swift 18:18.1) were quicker.
Brams' second place highlighted Belmont's strong 13th place finish with 328 points. Juniors Lia Aftandilian finished in 54th (21:14) and Julia Lenef in 62nd (21:25) to round out the top three Marauders with junior Alexis Kaihlanen (22:34), senior Madeleine Snyder (22:41), junior Cindy Yu (22:58) and freshman Sophia Klimasmith (23:14) running with the pack.
Led by two top 50 finishers, Belmont's Boys' placed 18th on Saturday, lead by Lewis Siilletto in 38th (17:20) and Tim Siracusa, 49th (17:33). Seth Altman (18:35), Ryan Touzjian (18:45), Peter Staub (19:23) and Riley Grant (19:44) had good days in southern Massachusetts.

Merrill Lynch Paid $121 Million to Top Four Bonus Recipients
The timing of the bonus handouts is suspect.
Merrill Lynch dished out a combined $121 million to the top four bonus recipients at the firm, right before Merrill was acquired by Bank of America Corp. Sheesh. Talk about shady timing.
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has been investigating the last-minute timing of the bonuses and presented his findings earlier this week to Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank.
"One disturbing question that must be answered is whether Merrill Lynch and Bank of America timed the bonuses in such a way as to force taxpayers to pay for them through the deal funding," Cuomo wrote in a February 10 letter to Frank. The letter became public yesterday, the day that the chief executives from the eight largest U.S. banks faced the ire of lawmakers at a committee hearing in Washington.

Dropping in to Silicon Valley for a 16-hour visit before heading to Atherton for a Hawaiian themed fundraising dinner.
A small group of invited guests, many with a NASA Ames connection, greeted Obama on the tarmac at Moffett Field where the president landed around 6:30 p.m. before a $38,500-a-head dinner at the home of Doug and Lisa Goldman.
Among those who stretched out a hand for a presidential touch were Lee Merchant and his 20-year-old son Azzam Merchant, who came from Sacaramento to see the president.
Obama is the third president the younger Merchant has met, but is the one with the most significance to Azzam.
"I've kind of grown up with him," Azzam said of Obama. "He's the first president that I'm old enough to relate to. He effects my life in a way that's meaningful."
His father, Lee, a retired military man has been on Air Force One in 1996, he said after posing for a picture with the plane behind him.
The younger Merchant got to shake Obama's hand as the president walked the line where dozens stood cameras and smart phones in hand taking photos of the president and his aircraft.
The Griffiths family of Sunnyvale was dressed up in their Sunday best for the visit, but the youngest, 14-month-old Simon was conked out by the time the president arrived. Asleep in his mother Stacy's arms Simon prevented her from getting that famous handshake. Castro Elementary students, 10-year-old Richard and 6-year-old Chloe, got the honors instead.
"I didn't get to shake his hand. I had a sleeping baby in my arms," Stacy said.
Greeting the president at the bottom of the stairs as he stepped off Air Force One were local dignitaries that included Mountain View Mayr Mike Kasperzak; Sunnyvale Mayor Tony Spitaleri; Simon Pete Worden, center director of NASA Ames Research Center; Col. Steven Butow, Commander 129th Rescue Wing, California Air National Guard; and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA).
Obama's brief meet-and-greet in Mountain View led to the Goldman-home dinner where David Crosby and Graham Nash were expected to perform. Among other guests at the Atherton fundraiser were Jan Brandt, vice chair emeritus of AOL; Dennis Troper, Google product management director; Tim Westergren, Pandora Media founder; and Susan Wojcicki, Google senior vice president, according to reports.
Following dinner at the Goldman home—Doug Goldman is a retired emergency physician and software company founder, and heir to the Levi Strauss fortune—Obama was headed to a Redwood City rally at the Fox Theatre where supporters paid $250 to $7,500.
Thursday morning Obama will attend a fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose with 20 Asian American supporters reportedly paid at least $35,000 each.

Availability and prices of tickets on the viagogo ticket exchange are driven by market demand; they are not determined by viagogo.
Face value is the expression used to refer to the price printed on the "face" of the ticket, i.e. the price it is sold for on the primary market. This price is determined by the concert tour promoter, the club or organizer of the event.
The face value of a ticket can differ from the selling price, because the tickets on viagogo are sold at "market value". This is the price a consumer is willing to pay for a ticket to a specific event.
If the event is in high demand, the selling price is likely to be higher than the face value on the ticket and vice versa.
