Understanding the Data in the State & Congressional Tables
The data used to create these estimates are based on the most recent available IRS and Congressional District information. Two factors are important for the reader to keep in mind:
1. 2010 Congressional District Lines. The Congressional District data are drawn from the districts as they existed in 2010. While the general shape of the new district lines is known, not enough detail down to the zip code level is available for CDA to produce tax estimates based on new district lines.
2. Tax Data Based on IRS Numbers. CDA used IRS estimates and data in the following manner:

Comments On Jun 02, 2010:It holds just as good as some other brands I've used, BUT... The dispenser gives far better control of the amount, and the viscosity is higher than the other brands. This means it stays on the threads nicely while you tighten other bolts instead of running off the threads, creating blotches on the work bench.

Cortland® 10 Meter Double Taper Fly Line
- Easy to cast
- For short rods and tiny reels
- Designed to turnover quickly
- Double taper
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rodsrus Finest Flyline Cortland's ten meter length fly line is perfect for lightweight fly rods and small diameter fly reels with limited capacity. You don't have to cut down more expensive 90' lines just to fit your reel. An excellent value for the price. I have used Cortland lines for years and this line performs well in small stream situations. July 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by butch300 fly line by cortland durable cortland line has preformed the best for me cleaning it daily it always get the job done and lasts for a long time April 18, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by BuggerDragger Cortland Ten Meter DT5 In my opinion, a great idea, but not quite optimum. I purchased the DT5 version of this line for my short 6' DB Diamondglass 5 wt rod. It's an excellent line if you're only considering the fact that it will fit on the White River Classic ultralight fly reel with room to spare...otherwise it's a fair caster, but a little more difficult to load than I would prefer. I have since purchased a Scientific Anglers Mastery Trout DT5 and another tiny reel that holds more backing...there's truly a night and day difference! My DB came alive! You get what you pay for! So, bottom line, this little line will cast...but not without some thought and effort and fly fishing should be effortless when it comes to a cast. 4 stars for execution, 3 for performance, 3.5 stars overall. October 3, 2010

is this good for saltwater fly fishing
4 years, 9 months ago
A:Due to the line weights, this line is really marginal for saltwater. Of the three line weights available, the 5 wt is the best suited.
If you're fishing for small fish close to shore on a calm day with small flies, you'll probably be okay. Any wind or large flies are going to be a problem.
Also, a rod matching these lines is going to be gutless if you tie into a medium or large fish and you run the risk of it breaking.
I would really recommend starting out with, at minimum a 7 or 8 weight line and rod for saltwater. Especially if that's all you're going to be fishing. A 9-10 wt would be better still.
Better to spend a bit more now for a more suitable equipment, than have to replace it later and end up buying twice.

LPGA International Champions Course
Daytona Beach, Florida
June 14-17, 2004
Crawford remains at 5-under-par, two tied at 3-under
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Rolex Junior All-American Julieta Granada of Asunción, Paraguay, fired a 3-under-par 69 Wednesday to take a two-stroke lead after two rounds at the Rolex Girls Junior Championship at LPGA International.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the 54-hole stroke-play invitational event is being held at LPGA Internationals Champions Course, the same venue as the LPGAs Qualifying School. The event features 77 girls from 21 states and four foreign countries (Canada, Japan, Mexico and Paraguay) who were invited based upon past top national junior golf tournament finishes.
The tournament, one of two girls-only AJGA Majors, brings 18 Rolex Junior All-Americans, including Granada, Amanda Blumenherst of Scottsdale, Ariz., and Florida natives Brittany Lincicome of Seminole, Jennifer Pandolfi of Navarre, Morgan Pressel of Boca Raton and Dolores White of Lakeland. Granada, Blumenhurst, Lincicome and Pressel are all first-team Rolex Junior All-Americans.
Granada, who shot a 4-under-par 68 in Tuesdays first round, recorded a two-day total of 7-under-par 137 to lead Laura Crawford of Lancaster, S.C., who heads into the final round with a two-day total of 139. Mallory Hetzel of Summerville, S.C., and Tiffany Joh of San Diego, Calif., are each four shots back at 140.
Granada said she was pleased with her second-round score, the lowest of the day by any competitor, but was disappointed with her putting after hitting 17 greens in regulation.
I was hitting it really solid but my putting wasnt that good, Granada said. I think I could have gone a lot lower but Im also happy because its not a bad score at all.
Tomorrow I just have to get out there and play my game shot by shot. Ill have to work on my putting tonight though.
After shooting a 5-under-par 67 to lead the field in Tuesdays first round, Crawford struggled early Wednesday, making bogeys at Nos. 4 and 7, but recovered on the back nine with three birdies to get back to 5-under-par for the tournament.
After the turn, I just wanted to get in around par or even-par, Crawford said. Im pretty happy with the way I closed. Julieta is a good player, so tomorrow I just have to keep the ball in play and stay focused.
Hetzel, who has three AJGA victories and is committed to the University of Georgia as a rising senior in high school, carded a 1-under-par 71 in the second round and hopes to make a move in Thursdays final round.
Today I had chance after chance after chance on the greens, and it was kind of frustrating, Hetzel said. I know Ive got a low round in me somewhere, Ive just got to dig deep and find it.
Joh shot a 2-under-par 70 to climb into a tie for third place with Hetzel heading into the final round. Sydney Burlison of Salinas, Calif., Morgan Pressel of Boca Raton, Fla., and Amanda Blumenhurst of Scottsdale, Ariz., are locked in a three-way tie for fifth place at 142.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA has a membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGAs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associations success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
Final-round tee times will begin at 7:30 a.m. Thursday off Nos. 1 and 10 tees. For more information about the Rolex Girls Junior Championship, please contact tournament headquarters at (386) 274-1549.
The Foundation
The Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program provides financial assistance to junior golfers who wish to play in AJGA events. Its goal is to give top-flight golf opportunities to young golfers regardless of financial resources. This program helps to fulfill the AJGA's mission of developing young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.
What is Leadership Links?
Leadership Links is a new program whereby the AJGA is able to further its mission to help develop young men and women by teaching charitable giving skills and service-oriented practices at an early age. This program gives juniors all the tools necessary to donate their time, talent and resources to local charities and the AJGA youth development programs.

Going Global: Risks and Protections for SME CEOs to Consider
Despite the world economic recession, small- and mid-sized companies are "going global" at an earlier stage in their development than ever before. Expanding overseas involves the careful consideration of risk and cost. What are those potential hazards? And what can be done about them? There are several issues that CEOs should consider when doing business internationally. Several critical ones are outlined here.

Efficient Talent-Sourcing for Global Growth
For the mid-market company that is expanding internationally — whether for the first time or into uncharted territory – identifying the right talent can be a challenge. In a 2012 Ernst & Young study of C-level and other executives in rapid-growth markets, 30 percent of respondents reported the need for a strategic hiring process in international markets. Intensifying the problem, according to the same study, is a self-reported knowledge gap in local culture and ways of doing business by more than half of the participants.

Hi my name is Alexandra, or Alex, or Alexandra2 as I have come to be known at WORN. I'm of Estonian-Chinese-English-Irish-Spanish heritage, and I've lived in the greater T.dot area all my life. I recently graduated from OCAD University, with a major in advertising and a minor in graphic design. My fashion interests began when I was born. My mother is a designer who often split her work with caring for my brother and I. From her I developed an incredible respect and appreciation for the handiwork and craftsmanship that can go into a garment — not to mention some awesome one-of-a-kind skirts and dresses, and the coolest Halloween costumes on the block. I have a particular panache for collage-ing and illustrative typography, and I've spent most of my life either in dance lessons, leafing through fashion magazines or snowboarding. As for my likes: I really love artichokes, Art Nouveau and Audrey Hepburn movies. I'm so excited to be working at WORN!
Current Inspirations:
Incredibly fantastical sense of personal style, most of the time she appears like she is straight out of the work of Alphonse Mucha.
Lovely whimsical fashion inspiration.
Friends of Type
Some seriously amazing and entertaining works of illustrative typography.

Over the years, I've made a tradition of both putting together a new succulent window box idea every spring, and posting about it here. Since planting up this year's box a few months ago, I've been taking photos as a prelude to a write-up here. But just when I begin to write, something in the box changes and I convince myself the box is even better and requires new photos. Now that I have broken my digital camera and am in gear purgatory I will just have to settle for the last batch of images and write this thing up already.
Sun-loving and exceptionally drought-tolerant succulents are just about the only plants that can survive the growing season slugging it out in a window box on my painfully hot and dry fire escape. I grow sun loving plants in larger containers on the fire escape as well but the succulents are the only plants that can withstand a day or more without attention and a long drink of water. They are hardy too, some like the 'Goldmoss Stonecrop' have been living in the same box for four seasons straight surviving straight through our cold, sporadic city winters. Many assume that because succulents are easy that they are also boring yet mine put on a good show, growing, draping, evolving with the seasons, changing colours, and eventually producing wacky alien-like flower forms.
From the Front (Photographed in May):
Clockwise from right front: Goldmoss Stonecrop (Sedum acre), Sedum rupestre 'Angelina', Sedum spurium Probably 'Red Carpet' , Sempervivum 'Pacific Sexy', Sedum spathulifolium 'Cape Blanco', Sedum sieboldii
- Regular potting mix with about 1/4 sand added. The other 3/4 can be straight up potting mix with an addition of compost if you like. Succulents need good drainage so a little sand helps. If your spot is really hot and dries out quickly you can forego the sand and just go with a well-draining potting soil.
- Window Box – This one cost about $15 and was purchased at Ikea several years ago. This kind of galvanized metal container is much more popular and easier to find these days. Make sure to poke holes in the bottom with a large nail if holes are not provided. Succulents require good drainage or they will rot.
- Plants – Most of these plants cost about $1.99-2.99 with the exception of the wildly expensive sempervivum coming in at $7.99. My cost for this box was $16 which is a bit higher than previous years which tended to come in at around $12. or under.
- Gravel or Decorative Rocks – Make a great succulent container mulch. Mulch prevents soil erosion, holds in some moisture, and just plain looks good. Rocks are cheap and reusable. You can also try aquarium gravel, marbles, broken pottery, or beach glass.
From the Front (Photographed in June):
- The wildly expensive Sempervivum 'Pacific Sexy' seems to be the only plant having a hard time this year.

I want to thank Commissioners Garry King, Bill Hayes, and Bill Brandenburg for removing the $12.5 million "placeholder" from the county's budget. They acted responsibly to not only serve all the county's citizens but to effectively use our financial resources. This issue has become so divisive that it should be put on hold. Perhaps in a few years and in a better economic climate the Commission as a whole can re-visit it.

Dance in the Aisles During Free Screenings of The Tales Of Hoffmann, Topsy-Turvy, and A Hard Day's Night at the Clark in December
For Immediate Release
November 20, 2006
From Gilbert & Sullivan to the Beatles, the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's fall film series will have the audience singing and dancing in the aisles. The series "Crossing Channels: Music and Art into Film," held at 4 pm on selected Fridays through December, celebrates song and dance transformed through art and design into film, with examples from both sides of the English Channel, offering different ways of looking at musical performance and spectacle. The films are free and held in the auditorium.
First to the Clark's big screen is The Tales of Hoffmann (1951, 127 min., not rated) on December 1. This film version of the opera of the same title stars Robert Rounseville as Hoffmann. Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, this lavishly designed performance of Jacques Offenbach's operetta is a follow-up to The Red Shoes.
Don't miss Topsy-Turvy (1999, 160 min., rated R) on December 15. Mike Leigh imagines Gilbert & Sullivan in full Victorian magnificence, creating The Mikado and mounting a sumptuous, if bedeviled, production. This Oscar-winning film stars Jim Broadbent and Allan Corduner.
Get up and dance to the rock & roll comedy adventure A Hard Day's Night (1964, 85 min., rated G) on December 22. Forty-odd years ago the Beatles burst on the scene to transform popular music, and Richard Lester's film captures the Fab Four at the peak of their anarchic energy.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Typesetting with groff Macros
"In the beginning was the word." And from the wordy primordial void there soon arose the blank page, the toner cartridge and the now ceaseless human craving for print. If you have a desire to look good in print, or just need to knock out a memo, term paper or letter to mom, you should know about groff. groff is a rich yet accessible set of document formatting tools and is available as standard equipment on every Linux system. groff can help take your words and typeset them beautifully on the printed page.
groff refers specifically to the GNU and updated version of troff (that venerable document formatting system developed for UNIX in the prehistoric era, before the Internet, compact disc and microwave popcorn). Traditional troff was first written in the early 1970s by Joseph Ossana at Bell Labs, rewritten a few years later by Brian Kernighan and designed for the computers and typesetting equipment available at the time. The GNU version of troff—first called gtroff, now simply groff—was written in the early 1990s by James Clark. While remaining compatible with traditional troff, groff offers several key enhancements making it easier to use, more powerful and containing fewer limitations than the program it supersedes. GNU groff is actively maintained and continues to evolve. In addition to Linux and other UNIX/UNIX-like systems, ports of groff are available for most of the other platforms out there. This ubiquity and open-source freedom lets you publish and share your documents portably and freely among platforms.
Using groff's macro capabilities for generating printed output is the focus of this article. It should also be mentioned that groff serves as the formatting engine for the on-line manual pages produced by the man command. If you need a sample of the typesetting prowess of groff, simply generate a printed manual page with the -t option to man:
man -t troff >troff.man.ps
This will produce a PostScript version of the manual page for groff, which you can then view on-screen with one of the PostScript previewers (gv, mgv), print directly with a PostScript printer or print to a non-PostScript printer using a PostScript interpreter such as GhostScript. (You should really take a look at this man page, by the way. It provides a thorough summary of all the additional features available in GNU groff, with more detail than presented here.)
groff offers all the niceties of computerized typesetting, including automatic ligatures, kerning, hyphenation and end-of-sentence spacing. groff also provides low-level control over all aspects of page layout by means of typesetting commands embedded into an otherwise plain text file. Most often these commands—or, in groff parlance, requests—are specified with a period in the first column of the line containing the command. For example, the following snippet of document has embedded commands for increasing the left indent and decreasing the current line length:
This is an example of a groff document..in +0.5i .ll -0.5i When formatted by groff, the text continuing here will appear indented by one-half inch from both of the previous margins.
Although it is possible to format a document completely using such "raw" groff requests, it is more typical for endusers to work with a collection of predefined macros that encapsulate sequences of raw requests into single commands. For example, if we wanted to create a macro for the block indent commands in the previous snippet, it might look like this:
.de Bi.in +0.5i .ll -0.5i ..The .de request begins the definition of our macro named Bi, and the double period on the last line marks the end. Invoking a macro within a document follows the same syntax as using a raw request (the name of the macro follows on a line with a period in the first column). Our new macro used in a document would look like:
This is another section of my groff document..Bi Oh boy, now the text continuing here is indented from both margins!If at some later time we want to increase the block indent to three-quarters of an inch, we need only change the macro definition. All instances of Bi throughout the document will then format with the new dimensions.
So far, we haven't seen a whole lot here to get excited about. One of the limitations of traditional troff is that the names of all commands, macros and other variables are limited to two characters. Two measly characters? As mentioned earlier, troff was developed in the veritable stone age of computing, when every bit mattered, and succinctness was sublime. While the developers of troff and the standard macro packages have done their best to devise naming schemes that are as mnemonic as possible within this two-character constraint, the resulting interface is about as user-friendly as 80x86 assembly language (which at least uses three characters for most of its instruction set!).
Fortunately, GNU groff eliminates this two-character naming limitation. For both the macro developer and the eduser, the
most significant enhancement of groff is that all names, including macros, numbers, strings, fonts and environments, can be of arbitrary length. Groff also allows for the aliasing of troff commands, macros and variables to provide alternative names for existing ones. We will exploit this feature heavily through the rest of the article. In fact, let's begin right now by aliasing the groff alias command itself:
.als ALIAS als
We can now use this command to provide a set of longer names for other key groff commands:
.ALIAS MACRO de.ALIAS NUMBER nr .ALIAS STRING dsSure, your old-time, hard-core troff jocks will gnash their teeth at the syntactic sugar. But the rest of us will have an easier time figuring out what in Sam Hill some macro is doing when we get back to work on it after a long and pleasurable weekend—or some other lapse into real life.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Bene prelaunch during the "Confession of Design" exhibit in Milan: The international office furniture expert is presenting an innovative setting for modern teamwork, the new TIMBA table combined with the Bay Chair, both created by the PearsonLloyd design studio in London.
Modern working environments have become more flexible, mobile and interlinked. The Internet has played a major role in this transformation: it has become an essential feature of our everyday life as a central resource and network platform. Aware of this fact, Bene is launching a new website that it is easy to navigate and combines cutting-edge technology with an attractive design.
Prangl, Zettling, Austria
The new operating site for the transport technology company Prangl in Zettling in Austrian Styria shows that comfort and functionality can go hand in hand. Both the architecture and the interior design follow strict guidelines which are practical and still allow enough space to accommodate splashes of colour and oases for contemplation.
Bene AG signed a contract to provide office dividing walls for the head office of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company in Abu Dhabi. This is the largest order in the history of the Austrian company. The company won out over 30 international competitors in the tendering process. All of the walls will be designed and produced in Waidhofen/Ybbs.
The distributor for the international office expert is demonstrating what first-class office solutions look like over 370 square metres and two floors: the office is presented as a living space that offers an interaction between zones for concentrated work, communication and collaboration, as well as high-quality executive offices.
Toguna Circle is the latest furniture launched by Bene as part of the groundbreaking and successful PARCS range designed by Pearson Lloyd. It has been developed to create team spaces within open plan office environments. The lounge-like design of Toguna Circle creates lively meeting spaces to support a range of activities and simultaneously foster great team spirit.
LED lights now not only illuminate the workplace, but shine a spotlight on it. A shining example of this is the joint development between Bene and the pioneering and innovative LED lighting provider Nimbus, who, together with London based design studio Pearson Lloyd, have introduced a new range of lighting designed specifically for the new forms of office work.
The latest design awards have once again acknowledged the design quality on offer from the international expert in forward thinking of office space solutions. Bene is proud to announce been awarded distinctions by three international design awards.

Clint Bowyer spent some time Wednesday morning chatting live with fans here at www.kwch.com. You can see the questions and answers in the window below.
Inside the walls of Michael Waltrip Racing in Cornelius, North Carolina is where the Clint Bowyer's familiar yellow and black car is prepped each week for the race. But a closer look revels that not much is familiar about the car, the paint scheme or the shop Bowyer now calls home.
Near the end of last season, the Emporia native made the decision to leave Richard Childress Racing, and start a new journey driving for Waltrip. It was a gamble, considering Childress was the only NASCAR team Bowyer had ever driven for. But on the eve of the 2012 NASCAR Season, Bowyer feels even more confident that moving to Michael Waltrip Racing was the right choice.
"It's a chance to prove myself all over again," said Bowyer. "You know the opportunity to prove myself was first there when I first came to RCR. And man it's all over again."
And all eyes will be on the 15 team this season, after all Bowyer did part ways with one of the most successful organizations in the garage area and joined one that still has a lot to prove. But make no mistake, Bowyer and his team plan on winning races and making NASCAR's version of the playoffs, known as the chase for the championship.
"If we can pull this off and go out and have success, It's going to do so much for me and building my brand and making me look good," said Bowyer. "I mean it really is. This is an opportunity for me to really build on what I've established."
Brian Pattie will serve as Bowyer's crew chief in 2012. And he agrees. "We've both won races and we didn't come here to be 15th in points," said Pattie.
The experience Bowyer brings has certainly grabbed the attention of those around him at MWR. The team has put a lot of faith in the belief that the Kansas native can take the organization to the next level.
"The main thing that he brings is a track record that is very impressive," said team owner Michael Waltrip. "A Nationwide championship, I think three chase appearances in his few years he's been in cup, race wins, sponsors love him media, loves him. He's just a guy that you would want on your team."
Added teammate Martin Truex, Junior, "Obviously he's a proven winner, a proven contender. I've known Clint a long time he's a good guy, fun to work with. He's going to bring a lot to the table."
And when asked what will be his story when it's written at the end of the season, he answers:
"Hopefully, just that hard work pays off, and that the reward was worth the risk."
Bowyer has had sort of mixed bag to start the his move to MWR. He finished fifth in the the Bud Shootout, an exhibition race held last Saturday. But he failed post qualifying inspection on Sunday and will starts Thursday's qualifying race for the Daytona 500 at the back of the field. Those races determine the starting position for the first race that counts, Sunday's Daytona 500.

Discover DOFUS
Slime, scales and the smell of the sea doesn't bother you, and you don't even mind being slapped round the face with a wet haddock! You're all set to become one of Amakna's happiest fishmongers!
It won't be easy to sell your products at the beginning because most adventurers don't immediately think of fish when they get hungry. Most reach for bread when their Health grows weak.
But with a bit of luck and hard work, you'll get on fine in spite of the unpopularity of your produce. And if you don't sell anything, at least you don't have to worry about dying of hunger yourself!
Although it's not obligatory, it can be a great help to have trained as a fisherman before becoming a fishmonger. You'll reduce your costs considerably if you can collect the resources you need yourself, and you'll end up making a lot more money.
Have you been itching to get the smell of a salty cleaver in your nostrils? Well get to Astrub and go see Bish Fone (2,-17) as quick as your land legs will take you. This hoary fisherman will teach you all you need to know about the profession before you can say 'Do I smell fish or are you just happy to see me?' If you're feeling extra fit, you can also make the trip south to see Roupi Chipon in his Sufokia workshop (14,26).
Once you've got the hang of preparing fish, you'll need to invest in the tools - start with a Fishmonger Cleaver, which you can get from Bish Fone or Roupi Chipon. It'll cost you 200 Kamas.
That's it! You got the tools, you've got the know-how, nothing remains but to get down to business!
It's time to prepare some fish! Put down your weapon, equip your cleaver and go to the nearest fishmongers' Workshop. Click on a Workbench and select the action 'Prepare a Fish'. Slide the ingredients into the empty slots according to what you see in the recipes interface.
As you might have guessed, the main ingredient in your cooking will be fish. You can buy some at the fishermen's Marketplace, or catch it yourself if you're trained. Any fish you buy has to have been gutted by a fisherman before you get it, so before trying out your recipe, make sure this is the case.
You'll also need certain resources for seasoning your dishes such as salt, lemons and onions. You'll find everything you need in Astrub grocery store (1,-16) or from Aga Dou at the (?) Amakna Marketplace (1,1).
The dishes you're going to make are eaten by tired or wounded adventurers to restore Health Points. The number of stars a particular dish has tells you more or less how many HP the plate restores, from 2 to 4 stars (****). The more stars a dish has, the more Health Points it restores when it's eaten. Four-star recipes are difficult to make, due to the rarity of the fish required to make them.
When you start practicing your profession, you'll only be able to use simple recipes, and only ones with 2 resources (i.e. 2 slots). Once you get a little experience under your belt, you can move on to more complex recipes with more ingredients and more slots. The list below tells you the different grades of recipe along with the level you require to be able to use them:
- 2 slots (level 1+)
- 3 slots (level 10+)
- 4 slots (level 20+)
- 5 slots (level 40+)
- 6 slots (level 60+)
- 7 slots (level 80+)
- 8 slots (level 100+)
As with all crafting professions, the more complex a recipe is, the more experience you'll gain if you manage to do it. But the lower your level is, the less likely you will be to succeed in using it... bear in mind that no recipe is a guaranteed success.
Fishmongers never make recipes with more than seven slots.
Special Recipes (****)
|Special Recipes for Fish
|Sliced Gudgeon ****
|Grawn Fritters ****
|Trout Flambé ****
|Crab Stick ****
|Smoked Tiger Fish ****
|Fried Breaded Fish ****
|Stuffed Mullet ****
|Grilled Kralove ****
|Steamed Carp ****
|Oil Sardine ****
|Grilled Bass ****
|Skate Wing ****
|Stuffed Pike ****
|Spicy Shark ****
These dishes are special because they don't just restore HP, but they also give characteristic points to whoever eats it. Dishes made from sea fish give you one INTELLIGENCE point and those made from river fish give you one WISDOM point.
You'll need a workbench to prepare your fish. You'll find them in the fishmongers' workshops scattered around the World of Twelve (you'll be sharing workshops with fishermen):
- - Astrub (2,-17)
- - Sufokia (14,26)
- - Bonta (-35,-54)
- - Brakmar (-24,40)
Crab Stick, Oil Sardine or Steamed Carp - you can sell all your products in a fishmongers' marketplace. You'll find one in each of the main cities in the World of Twelve:
- - Astrub (0,-17)
- - Bonta (-35,-55)
- - Brakmar (-27,37)
Tip: Fish isn't the first thing people think of when they get hungry, so you might have to go out looking for clients yourself. The best idea is to go far away from the cities to places where adventurers gather to gain XP (the Lousy Pig Plain, for example). Put yourself in merchant mode and hope for the best that the smell coming off you doesn't scare everyone away.

We are confident that the pieces we are putting into place to expand recruiting and marketing will achieve our strategic goals over the next four to five fiscal years, he said.
The states most selective school, Middlebury College, has accepted 19.5 percent of its 8,913 applicants.
A total of 2,144 Vermonters applied to UVM and 1,562, or 73 percent, were accepted.

Chocolate passion
Obviously I have thought and considered and then still thought to what the proper subject could be: the choice, needless to say was huge!
So I was visiting the various blogs when I found my source of inspiration:
the contest announced by dEleciouSly with the title "..To lick your fingers."
First recipe and first contest.
Indeed one "greedy" occasion to open with A pinch of Italy!
But alone the mousse, for how much tasty it can be, didn"t seem enough to me. This way I have decided to accompany it with a cream of mascarpone and Nutella and to alternate the two creams with a crunchy "interval".
For the decoration I have used some irregular geometric sketches made by melting some 70% dark chocolate strained then put it on paper oven and some kernels of walnut also dipped in the melted chocolate and allowed then to solidify on a gridiron.
The result is… To lick your fingers!!!
Dark chocolate mousse:
- 70% dark chocolate, 200 gr
- eggs, 4 egg whites and 3 yolks
- butter, 100gr
- Icing sugar, 150 gr
Melt the chocolate to the microwave for 3 minutes to a medium power (600W). In the meantime blend the very soft butter with the icing sugar to obtain a cream and then add the " Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, a billionaire who is the owner of a stake within the online casino Royale Goa, among the couple of legal gaming joints in the united states, stated Indians were "prone to gambling around the Chinese" and offered a historic perspective around the legislative discussion. 3 yolks one by one. When the chocolate will be warm, not too hot, add it to the mixture. Mix the whites to firm snow and slowly add them to the cream of chocolate. Put in the refrigerator resting for 2/3 hours.
Cream of mascarpone and Nutella:
- mascarpone, 200 gr
- Nutella, 140 gr
Melt the two ingredients in a bowl to make them perfectly amalgamate. The quantity to my advice have the correct equilibrium among them.
Crunchy "interval":
Pasta brisèe:
- flour 0, 150 gr
- butter, 75 gr
- sugar, 1 spoon
On a plan mix the cold butter to bits with the flour. Add enough cold water to get mix very homogeneous. Allow to rest it in the refrigerator for one hour in the aluminum paper.
Then you stretch the mix with a rolling-pin on the plan floured to get it thin. With a fork make holes on the pasta and put it into the oven to 180° for about ten minutes more or less according to the oven. Once completed the cooking leave it to cool and then break it up to coarsely crumble it. Add some dry fruit toasted in the oven.
I have chosen walnuts, hazelnuts and pine nuts.
- kernels of walnut-tree, 40 gr
- filberts, 40 gr
- pine nuts, 40 gr
I have put the fruit in a mortar and then added to the crumbled pasta brisèe.
Take 6 glasses (I have used those from wine) and 2 sac à poche with smooth and wide lip: in one put the mousse, in the other the mascarpone and Nutella cream.
You make a first layer with the mousse and cover it with the crunchy "interval". Then you make a second layer with the cream and cover it with other crunchy interval. You do so for all the glasses until the end of the ingredients. You put back the glasses in the refrigerator and take them out 30 minutes before serving them.
You garnish with the kernels of walnuts covered with chocolate and the doodles of chocolate.
Take a teaspoon and… Your fingers!!!

I can't decide which one I should get. It is my understanding that the leather feels nicer (I didn't really like the slick feeling of the Poly..) but I have also heard that it can rub off onto the iPad. Also, color wise I find the red Leather cover the most attractive.
What is your experience with the covers?

June 25, 2013 College News - The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) has received a five year, $2.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to develop the use of an ACE inhibitor, lisinopril, to mitigate radiation injuries in multiple organs.
Meetha Medhora, PhD, Professor of Radiation Oncology, is the primary investigator of the grant.
Dr. Medhora and colleagues are attempting to repurpose ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors, which are typically prescribed to treat hypertension, to mitigate radiation injuries. Investigators at MCW and other institutions have demonstrated that incidental use of these drugs by irradiated cancer patients decreased lung radiation injury. In rat models, Dr. Medhora, along with Dr. Eric Cohen, Dr. John Moulder and Brian Fish have demonstrated that the effects of radiation on kidneys were mitigated when the animals received ACE inhibitors a week after exposure.
In this study, researchers will study lisinopril under conditions simulating a nuclear accident or radiological event—and will test lisinopril in combination with countermeasures proposed for the Strategic National Stockpile for use against acute radiation syndromes. Dr. Medhora's team in collaboration with the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, will also test lisinopril for mitigation after exposure to different types of radiation including X-rays, neutrons and gamma rays.
A second aim of the grant is to study the mechanisms of action of ACE inhibitors at the molecular, cellular and whole organ levels.

Barack Obama announced ambitious new space plans when he visited the Kennedy Space Center on April 15th.
His speech mentioned "a sequence of deep-space destinations" and "progressing step-by-step until we are able to reach Mars." As I watched his speech, I couldn't help but wonder if this will be the catalyst for a new age of space travel and human discovery, as happened on Earth five centuries ago.
There's also the distinct possibility it will lead to the overturning of the current theory of everything, just as humanity slowly accepted the Earth was not flat half a millennium ago.
This week, news from space offered hope of finding life on planets orbiting dead stars; but also cast more doubt on finding life outside our solar system. It has also been discovered that some planets do not orbit their stars in the same rotational direction, which is the reverse of the dominant scientific theory.
The European Age
One thousand years ago, Europeans must have looked out at the Atlantic Ocean and wondered what lay beyond the horizon. Maybe they thought that God had created the world to keep some knowledge beyond humanity where nobody dared to venture.
Then Christopher Columbus traveled towards the horizon, and beyond it, to start the European migration to the 'New World.' Columbus thought he had reached Asia, yet of course, we now know that he reached a whole new continent previously unknown to him.
Thousands of travelers now cross the sea and horizon by plane and boat every day. On clear nights, many people look up at the sky, marveling at the colours created by the sun rising or setting, and wonder what is really out there among the stars.
Just as we have mapped much of our planet today, our descendants will know our universe as we now know Earth, and look back at our limited knowledge in the same way we viewed world geographical knowledge in Columbus's age. It is likely they will be able to experience space as we now travel around the Earth.
From Moon Landings to Hubble Images
While flying machines are still in relative infancy, telescopes have four times the history, as they were first invented in the early seventeenth century.
Four hundred years of innovation have seen them reach incredible power and intricacy; the pinnacle of the technology is the Hubble telescope that is circling the planet to bring amazingly clear images from galaxies and nebulas almost too far away for us to comprehend.
The only equivalent in Columbus's days might have been the stories and images brought back to Europe by Marco Polo and other travelers to the Far East. As some of those fantastic stories were proven to be accurate, while others were mistaken identities or downright falsities, the same might be true of our current perceptions about the physics of the universe.
It is currently believed that the Cassini spacecraft has discovered liquid methane lakes on Saturn's moon Titan, which if true, is the first surface water found anywhere else in the universe.
NASA also believes they have discovered forty planets outside our solar system, and within a decade, they hope to find one in a habitable zone: the right distance from the sun to retain water on its surface.
The Future Awaits
While we are starting to map the solar system as Columbus began charting the Americas, there had been a long history of sailing before those expeditionary voyages.
Just over forty years ago, the Apollo missions took the first humans to the moon.
While this was a momentous achievement, if space exploration takes us to the edge of our solar system, or even out into intergalactic space, the moon landings might one day seem more like one small step rather than a giant leap.

wow amazing post
http://www.facebook.com/pieter.uithol Pieter Uithol
I know we need to start some time and go somewhere, but when we have such pressing and costly problems here on earth can we afford to go to Mars or anywhere else? It is a very complex and ridiculously expensive undertaking which is hard to justify when there is still so much poverty and conflict on our own planet. Are we the kinds of creatures that should be extending our influence beyond our home?
Is it wise to spend a huge fortune we cannot afford on the egotistical whimsies of a few? Let us fix our world and establish peace before we leap on to the next stage in space exploration. We will have plenty of time to do so once we have healed otherwise there is little point and certainly we do not have enough time anyway. Priorities!! First things first.

T.J. Simers
10:55 PM CDT, September 22, 2012
So I buy into this Jim Mora-walks-on-water hoopla.
"Discipline," as one UCLA honk after the next says as I arrive at the Rose Bowl, making the difference.
I've only seen the Bruins play Rice, and I thought I was watching two high school teams.
But I'm here willing to write it off as opening-game jitters, expecting the Bruins to run their record to 4-0.
OK, so I'm a little surprised to see I'm the only one here, or so it seems.
I've always worried about the inferiority complex of these poor mopes, UCLA fans never getting a good football team or the chance to rub victory in the faces of others.
But I thought all this Mora buzz would bring the faithful back and give them something to get excited about.
On top of that, it's already been a great week, with Bruins' fans finally getting the chance to spread hate on message boards like Trojans worshipers have for so many years.
There doesn't seem to be anything UCLA and USC fans enjoy more than tossing around obscenities and going mean after a victory. Bruins' fans just haven't had all that many opportunities.
But then as the week goes on it gets even better. Lane Kiffin begins to self-destruct, losing and immaturity just too much for him to handle. And did I mention Mora walks on water?
Not only that, UCLA is an early 11-point favorite to beat Oregon State. And the Bruins will probably be a 100-point pick to beat woeful Colorado next week.
5-0, baby.
And the schedule has UCLA set up to go 10-0 before taking on those losers from USC.
But then the Bruins are only 10-point favorites against Oregon State. Then it's nine, and eight and only seven by game time.
Maybe the oddsmaker is a Bruin and expecting the worst, which might be another reason why so many UCLA fans have stayed home. They just know better.
They sure do. Just like that, the dream of going undefeated is over.
OK, so I'll get over it.
But I worry about the sad-sack Bruins fans, so many at home now with the lights turned off and unable to show their faces publicly. They never have anything good happen.
Mora is now swimming for his life like every other UCLA football coach who can't walk on water, his team no different than any other UCLA team when it comes to letting everyone down.
"Our hats are off to Oregon State," Mora says while still wearing his hat.
And how many times did Rick Neuheisel say that?
"It will be a great lesson for our young men to respond to this, and I expect they will," says Mora, and now I'm hearing Neuheisel's voice as Mora sings the same tune.
How about just stating the obvious? The Bruins just blew it. Why isn't he saying that?
Why isn't he talking about the Bruins' lack of pizazz, or the coaches' failure to make winning adjustments at halftime?
Why is UCLA losing to a team it beat seven of the last nine times they played with Neuheisel and Karl Dorrell as coaches?
Why isn't Mora stating the obvious and admitting his own lack of discipline cost the Bruins dearly?
Beyond the false start that probably cost the Bruins a touchdown and a personal foul on offense, why did Mora go greedy and cost his team a timeout?
The Bruins are down by 10 with 7:43 remaining in the game, and a coach is paid well to make the correct call in these kinds of situations.
On fourth and three at the Oregon State 24-yard line, Mora sends in the team's field-goal kicker as most coaches would do.
The Bruins line up to kick, but shift into some wacky formation as if preparing to go for the first down.
Oregon State shifts as well, so UCLA calls a timeout.
Was Mora thinking Oregon State Coach Mike Riley would not have his team prepared?
That's a wasted timeout for those who are watching from home, and time is something that is not on the Bruins' side.
In essence, Mora also freezes his own kicker, and Ka'imi Fairbairn lines up again and misses from 42 yards. The Bruins still trail by 10 with only two timeouts remaining.
"Why were you thinking fake field goal?" I ask.
"I'm always trying to find ways to put points on the board," Mora says. While stating the obvious, as he likes to do, isn't a field goal is worth three points?
"That was a point in the game where they had shown some things on the film we had been able to watch, the one game this year and the two games last year. It looked like we might have a chance to get a seven.
"And when we shifted and they shifted our plan all along was to call a timeout."
Blah, blah, blah. Mora outcoached himself, a timeout at that point of the game valuable, whether he would end up needing it or not. And he would.
The next time the Bruins get the ball, instead of having the chance to tie the score as they moved inside the Oregon State 20, they still need 10 points so they settle for a field goal.
UCLA would get the ball back again, but unable to stop the clock on Oregon State's final drive, it would only have five seconds and 90 yards to go to tie it.
What a bummer. A chance to send a message to everyone there is a reason to show up here and things will be different.
But instead I'm here writing the same old, because that's all UCLA has to offer everyone again.
