The Devil's Postpile is a geological wonder of the world.
|The John Muir and Pacific Crest Trails meander through this natural monument
|Unique formations in Devil's Postpile
Of all the sights to be seen on the John Muir and Pacific Crest Trail, the Devils Postpile National Monument is perhaps the strangest and most unique. For those who are traveling the famous Route 395 along the Eastern Sierras, this is also a destination which cannot be missed. Fortunately it is easily accessible from the nearby town of Mammoth Lakes, California.
View Hiking Trails in Devil's Postpile, NM in a larger map
The wonderful part about Devil's Postpile is that it is easily accessible and the hikes are rather short. There's a couple of sights you can't miss:
- Devils Postpile Hike: This is a 0.4 mile walk from the visitor's center and is well marked and flat. The trail will bring you to the base and you can hike to the top or circle around the monument. If you're coming from the John Muir Trail or Pacific Crest Trail, the monument turn-off is well marked. However, the JMT/PCT do not travel nearby the actual postpile.
- Rainbow Falls Hike: From the parking lot at the visitors center, its a 5 mile hike round trip but you can also park at Reds Meadow and take the JMT/PCT trail to the turnoff to cut out a little of the distance. This trail is also well-marked and you can see it on the map above.
- Ansel Adams Wilderness: If you follow the JMT/PCT trail northwards out of the park, you will travel through the infamous Ansel Adams Wilderness which has some stunning sights such as Thousand Island Lake, Garnet Lake and the rugged Ritter Range. These locations are all within about a 2-day backpacking trip.

So there are all kinds of options if you go to Devils Postpile. If you're looking for short hikes, there are plenty of them. Its also a great place to start an epic backpack trip. Of course, if you're on the Pacific Crest Trail, this will be one of your highlights as you hike up to Canada. Whatever your pleasure, the Devils Postpile will certainly amaze.
Read. Plan. Get Out There!

Maintaining Style Amid Seasonal Chaos
By: Rachael Dickhute
As we drift between winter and spring, I decided to put together a few transitional weather outfits packed full with accessories for making it through this time of ever changing weather.
Style is something that is oftentimes sacrificed for comfort during inclement weather, but it doesn't have to be. My recommendation is to layer the clothes to the appropriate level of comfort and then play the outfit up with accessories. It can be slightly more difficult to maintain style while dressing for colder weather without over doing it. Also, there is no need to freeze for the sake of style. Remember, function over form.
Throw in pops of color, brazen hats, bold jewelry and keep the outfit simple and functional and you will still look fabulous! Plus, accessories are always more affordable than filling your wardrobe with heavier pieces that only last until March or April. The accessories you invest in can last year round and be versatile enough for all seasons. For example, add a pair of colorful statement drop earrings for a pop of chic to peak out from under a black beanie! Or combine a pair of deep blue boots with your black rain coat and black pants for a splash of color.
There are so many fashionable choices right now for snow and rain boots, not to mention stylish riding boots made of quality material that can pose as either. Typically, I wear my favorite knee-high leather boots with a low heel when on the East Coast. Here on the West Coast, we are boot people year round and love pairing them with jeans, dresses, and shorts as the weather changes. Scarves can be tied in hundreds of ways to be stylish and functional. There are so many fabulous YouTube tutorials on the many ways to rock a scarf!
I have compiled a few ways I incorporate my accessories, no matter the weather, which can be toned up or down based on your style preference. Also, here is a list of a few must haves to test out this season as you are playing between style and function! Most importantly, make the look your own and play around with the trends each season. As I mentioned, hats and scarves are so versatile and are perfect ways to incorporate current fads and keep your style relevant to the season's colors.

MY DICK IS In america so america is best
Lawl, the only thing that made it better in spite of financial wealth for such a long time was absolute freedom, which is being stripped, our failed leaders could not handle the problems in one of it's own states, Arizona, so what did they do, they gave closed their eyes, and handed the problem to the UN, one of the most unarguably corrupt systems of government.
Every time we try to stick wings in pigs it ends in a bloody messInactive

america is ok in 1 way and again its not so good... ie. they have good tehnology , but theres at lease 5 houses in your block that have been robbed at least once ,,, theres no 15 year olds outside cuz they will get mugged or kiddnaped ... im 15teen that lives in croatia where kids can be outside after midnight whit no risk of anything, we have 100000000000000000000000 times better food than 70 % of the world but our politics suck .......... every country have its good sides and bad
No, the only reason your house would get robbed is if you lived in a "bad" part of town. Unless you just moved there, everyone knows what parts are what.
Thing is, what are 15 year olds gonna do at midnight outside? Nothing good.
Also, no one kidnaps. You hardly ever here of kindnapping.
America: We import our food lolololol.

Not everyone who is featured on People You'll See In Hell is here for killing someone, or molesting someone, or leaving a small handicapped child in the hot sun to die.
Minor bad things happen all the time.
Still. Sometimes, you just have to look at someone who did something relatively minor and say, "Dude, you're going to Hell."
Take 30-year-old Nicholas Garcia for example.
Nicholas Garcia, a professional loafer, walked into the Chevron gas station in El Jobean, Florida on the 4th of October, 2007.
On the counter of the gas station was a large two-quart jar that was set up by the store owner to collect donations for 15-year-old brain cancer patient, Tommy Widenhofer. The jar was holding two hundred dollars worth of donations for the boy, whose parents desperately need the money so they can afford to get Tommy Widenhofer the treatment that he needs.
Nicholas Garcia, being the fine upstanding citizen that he is, took one look at the jar filled with the hopes and dreams of a young boy and thought to himself, "That'd buy me a lot of crack."
Not caring whose money it was or what it would be used for, Nicholas Garcia grabbed the jar and ran off.
Fortunately for my overdeveloped sense of justice, Mr. Garcia was apparently unaware that he was being videotaped while he took the donation jar.
Because the news media loves stories like this, Nicholas Garcia's picture, taken from the videotape, was plastered all over the news.
Professional do-nothings like to watch the news while they're eating their free meals. It keeps them "in the know."
So when Nicholas Garcia was sitting in the Bread of Life mission, eating lunch with a roomful of other homeless guys, and his picture came up on the evening news, one of the homeless guys let Joseph Byron, the homeless shelter manager, know about it.
At first Joseph Byron didn't believe it, but once he saw the news story for himself he called the police.
Nicholas Garcia confessed his theft to the news media, insisting on camera that he took the money to support his drug addiction.
First of all, I didn't know who it was for. I saw it, I took if fast because I was dope sick. Now nobody is going to be hard-felt against me because I am just a junkie addict. I had a really bad habit, man. I was shooting 6 bags of heroin a day and I was doing cocaine, too. I thought I could come to Florida and dry out and it didn't happen. There's just as many drugs down here.
Gee. Drugs in Florida? No way! Next thing you'll tell me is that there are Cubans there.
Nicholas Garcia admitted that what he did was wrong, promised to pay the money back as soon as he could, and, in the best Cops tradition, submitted to the authority of the state.
I didn't try to run, it makes no sense. What am I going to do, start running around here, being wanted? I made a mistake, I might as well end it now, you know. It was a mistake.
As he was saying that, police were walking him to a squad car in handcuffs. They drove him to a local hospital for treatment before he would be taken to jail.
Four hours later, Nicholas Garcia escaped from the hospital.
It's ok though. He's probably just out looking for a job to pay back the money he took, right?
There won't be a big manhunt for Mr. Garcia. He's not on the FBI's most wanted list. He's only wanted for misdemeanor theft, after all.
The next time you see Nicholas Garcia, though, let him know how you feel. After you call the cops.

It's summer in our part of the world so it can get rather hot. No, I am not complaining one bit, especially when I have all these options:
Enjoying the morning and late afternoon sun while lounging on the lawn.....
Where I can nom on grass whenever it takes my fancy.....
Move to the shade when it gets a little too warm....
When it gets hot in the mid afternoon, I retreat to the cool and seclusion of the alley between the shed and the fence to have my nap and meditate on life....
Should I fancy some cold milk and cheese, I only need to mieow a few times at the back door. Ah, I do so enjoy my quiet life here and shudder to think of my time as a street kitty many years ago. I purr that more strays would be adopted, like me, and have a secure, loving home.

I love our little tomado shelves in the kitchen. I'm still not bored with them. But if I did get tired of them. In the Elle Decoration I saw another great way of hanging them. They look so bright and cheerful this way. So to be a bit moralistic: mix 'm up and the same thing can look fresh again. 😉

This is fantastic!!!! Thank you sis! Great discussion and information!
Thank you Gyhldeptis!
Climate change is scary. Once we reach the tipping point the slide into extinction will be swift.
Our oceans are in imminent danger due to acidification by CO2 from our atmosphere, and due to Nitrogen runoffs from agriculture.
Coral reefs support 90% of ocean life, but 25% have already been destroyed, according to conservative estimates, while other estimates place the figure closer to 35%.
Marine life helps reduce atmospheric CO2.
When all the reefs have died, the oceans will cease to absorb CO2 from our atmosphere. This means that there will be a dramatic rise in atmospheric CO2, enough to make the atmosphere lethal for anyone who cannot afford adequate, expensive, life-long protection.
A lot of people will die, or we can act now to help reduce the impact of climate change due to CO2 emissions.
love, the grigs...
To all my beloved friends on this site, especially other Americans -
Cry tears of sadness over President Trump's attitude about our ecological economy - but let them be not too bitter, angry, or despairing.
He is daring us all to overcome him.
And when we collectively show enough unfiltered love to dazzle the industrial lenses, we will know.
Meanwhile, it's still a struggle of balances, another phase of childhood for humanity. And humanity acknowledges that it does indeed worship people like Donald Trump, just like it does other industrialists, philosophers, movie stars ... success in any field. Our problems are less difficult than you realize, whisper the gods in disguise down here, as the mighty yet benevolent forces of nature.

text: I was just looking for some input on which receiver i should buy. I have about 1100 to spend. I am looking to hook up my TIVO (reg), Dvd player either hdmi or component, and xbox 360 with component. I am going to run component and hdmi to my projector. For sound i am still going to run 5.1 until i move into a bigger place. I was also wondering if the s-video out that the tivo has is going to look better when i run it through component or hdmi (up-converted) right now it is very hard to see during the day since it is 480i where as my dvd player still looks good during the day. If there is anything else you might need to know just let me know. thanks for the input

Allianz hikes premiums by 52pc as it records losses
Insurer Allianz lost money in this market in the three months to March despite raising its motor insurance premiums five times last year.
The multiple premium rises meant they were 52pc higher than a year earlier. This means that a driver who had paid a premium of €500 for motor cover was asked to pay €750 a year later.
However, there was better news when specialist motor insurance provider XS Direct said it was re-entering the market.
The Dublin-based company had been concentrating on the UK market since 2014, but has now decided to focus back on Ireland.
XS Direct targets customers who have had a claim and are willing to accept a high excess in return for lower premiums than they are being quoted by their existing insurer.
Allianz reported an operating loss of €9m in the Irish market in the first quarter of this year.
Net earned premiums contracted from €102m to €75m, figures published by the German parent company show.
Insurance companies are hiking premiums due to losses being made on their businesses, and changes in regulatory rules that require them to put more funds into reserves.
They have also been told by the Central Bank to increase premiums to boost their capital reserves.

Long Distance Slaughter Criticised by Bridport Farmer and NFU
6:34am 22nd May 2014
(Updated 11:19am 22nd May 2014)
A Dorset farmer has sparked a debate over animal welfare after refusing to send his TB infected cattle on a 170 mile trip to be slaughtered.
Kevin Wallbridge, who runs a farm in Hooke near Bridport, was told by the Animal Health Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) that his cows would have to go to West Wales to be killed.
But the farmer refused saying the trip would cause unnecessary stress on the animals which have all contracted TB.
Mr Wallbridge told us the trip is too long;
"My worry is, the cows will be stood on a lorry for about 5 hours to get from West Dorset to West Wales which I don't think is fair. An animal isn't used to standing up that long, especially in the condition they are, some are in calf and or heavily producing milk.
When they're producing milk they're using a lot of energy and they need more time to lie down and for them to be comfortable because they were working very hard for me producing milk. That's what's made me really unhappy. As a farmer I'm not happy to see them go that far anyway."
He says he's arranged to have the 14 cows shot on his own land next week to save them the stressful, uncomfortable trip to West Wales.
Animal welfare regulations stipulate animals should not be taken more than 200 miles to be killed.
Kevin says he'd prefer his cows killed closer to home;
"I would've been much happier for them to go to a more local slaughterhouse, I know there's one contracted in Taunton. I said to the AHVLA that I would not let the animals off the farm to go to West Wales, but they could go to Taunton."
The Animal Health Veterinary Laboratories Agency - Defra's organisation managing the Bovine TB operation in cattle - said animal welfare is of the upmost importance when they're travelling to abattoirs.
"Animals unfit to travel, including those in the later stages of pregnancy, would normally be slaughtered on-farm following a risk assessment undertaken by an AHVLA vet. "
Spokesperson for the National Farmers Union in Dorset Ian Johnson said the farmers and animals themselves have been completely neglected on the whole issue of cattle slaughter due to TB;
"The big casualty seems to be animal welfare and the worst affected species are cattle and badgers. This whole conversation should really to go back to what it's really all about, which is animal welfare and stopping animals from suffering, and trying to something about a disease that if you don't do something, is going to cause more suffering."
Ian said DEFRA were cutting corners on animal welfare to make a buck or two;
"I believe, but I don't know, various different places where they send these cattle to be slaughtered pay different rates and apparently they can get a better rate by going to other places rather than local. It would seem they're cutting corners at the expense of animal welfare."
The AHVLA said they select abattoirs that offer the best value for money;
"This cost to the taxpayer is partly offset by the value of the carcase, a sum paid by the abattoir, and as AHVLA is required to achieve best value-for-money for the taxpayer, it selects the abattoir which is likely to provide the best financial return, whilst also ensuring that journey times to slaughter strictly adhere to welfare during transport regulations.
Animals unfit to travel, including those in the later stages of pregnancy, would normally be slaughtered on-farm following a risk assessment undertaken by an AHVLA vet.
"Cattle owners have the option of choosing not to receive compensation and to arrange slaughter privately. In such cases the cost of slaughter falls to the owner, but is offset by their retaining any salvage value provided by the carcases."

Trademark infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights attached to a trademark without the authorization of the trademark owner or any licensees (provided that such authorization was within the scope of the licence). Infringement may occur when one party, the "infringer", uses a trademark which is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark owned by another party, in relation to products or services which are identical or similar to the products or services which the registration covers. An owner of a trademark may commence civil legal proceedings against a party which infringes its registered trademark. In the United States, the Trademark Counterfeiting Act of 1984 criminalized the intentional trade in counterfeit goods and services.[1]:485-486
The ACTA trade agreement, signed in May 2011 by the United States, Japan, Switzerland, and the EU, requires that its parties add criminal penalties, including incarceration and fines, for copyright and trademark infringement, and obligated the parties to actively police for infringement.[2][3][4]
In many countries (but not in countries like the United States, which recognizes common law trademark rights), a trademark which is not registered cannot be "infringed" as such, and the trademark owner cannot bring infringement proceedings. Instead, the owner may be able to commence proceedings under the common law for passing off or misrepresentation, or under legislation which prohibits unfair business practices. In some jurisdictions, infringement of trade dress may also be actionable.
Where the respective marks or products or services are not identical, similarity will generally be assessed by reference to whether there is a likelihood of confusion that consumers will believe the products or services originated from the trademark owner.
Likelihood of confusion is not necessarily measured by actual consumer confusion, though normally one of the elements, but by a series of criteria Courts have established. A prime example is the test announced by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in AMF, Inc v. Sleekcraft Boats, 599 F.2d 341 (C.A.9) 1979. The Court there announced eight specific elements to measure likelihood of confusion:
Other Courts have fashioned their own tests for likelihood of confusion--like those announced in In re E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 177 USPQ 563 (CCPA 1973), known collectively as the DuPont factors.
If the respective marks and products or services are entirely dissimilar, trademark infringement may still be established if the registered mark is well known pursuant to the Paris Convention. In the United States, a cause of action for use of a mark for such dissimilar services is called trademark dilution.
In some jurisdictions a party other than the owner (e.g., a licensee) may be able to pursue trademark infringement proceedings against an infringer if the owner fails to do so.
The party accused of infringement may be able to defeat infringement proceedings if it can establish a valid exception (e.g., comparative advertising) or defence (e.g., laches) to infringement, or attack and cancel the underlying registration (e.g., for non-use) upon which the proceedings are based.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I have been using the ISAPI filter on a few site I host, so first of all THANK YOU for writing this piece of software to secure sites that are not aging well, or have not been written by developers with security in mind.
However, I recently decided to turn this filter on a .Net 2.0 web app and something weird is happening as a result, all the WebResource.axd calls are returning 404. Here is an example request:
Any ideas on what might be going on?
FYI, it happens on other requests like /ScriptResource.axd
Thank you in advance for any pointers.
Add *.axd in the exclusion list.
Hmmm.... I did and restarted IIS, and still no luck. DotNet 2.0 sites in IIS still don't work right, by serving 404s for all the *.axd...
Any other ideas? I did turn on logging on verbose and I don't see anything but that the filter started, that's it.
Try this:
When you add the wildcard mapping in IIS (see video for details) you have a check box that reads "Check if file exists", if you check it it will probaby solve the problem.
To have logging working you have to make sure the user in user identity in the application pool has rights in the log folder.
This worked!!! Thank you so much. Kudos to you or anybody that helped making this ISAPI filter, it's been a life safer for those small legacy apps that nobody wants to go redo and secure from all those evil worms ;)
I wrote this ISAPI by myself. I asked someone else (very capable) to help me but he could not engage :)
I still have some tweaks but no time to work on this :(

Big Sean is having a pretty solid week, even if June 28th is the official day that matters most. The Rock City original's been everywhere in anticipation of Finally Famous getting a retail release. And even though the disc sprung a premature leak, the video for the second single, "I Do It," will only serve to stoke the fires.
Aren't weeks more fun when the G.O.O.D. guys are running rampant with tunes? The past few days feel just like those long lost Fridays we used to look forward to.

Just two years after the last parliamentary vote, Italy's president dissolved parliament on Wednesday, clearing the way for a spring election.
President Giorgio Napolitano made the decision after Premier Romano Prodi's centre-left government fell late last month and subsequent efforts to form an interim government to change voting rules failed.
Prodi will continue as caretaker premier until the election, which has been set for April 13 and 14.
Italy was plunged into political crisis after Prodi's government collapsed Jan. 24 after only 20 months in power.
The legislature was the second-shortest one in Italy's postwar history, according to Italian media.
Early elections represent a victory for Silvio Berlusconi, the conservative leader who has repeatedly demanded a return to the polls since the fall of Prodi's government.
Berlusconi has firmly rejected any possibility of an interim government. The 71-year-old former premier is hoping for a new stint in power as domestic opinion polls suggest his centre-right coalition would win an early election.
The centre-left coalition trails in opinion polls. Its leader and expected candidate for premier, Walter Veltroni, had hoped to delay a vote by supporting the possibility of an interim government.
Veltroni had been pushing for a change in the election law before any new parliamentary vote is held, saying the risk of instability is too high for whichever coalition wins the next election.
Prodi had to resign after a small centrist party withdrew its support, causing the government to lose a confidence vote in the Senate, where the premier's forces had a minimal edge. Throughout his time in office, Prodi had to mediate between positions in a varied coalition that included several small parties.

Today the tonsil stones and their impacts are not highly discussed as many people are least cared about it. But this is not a good sign for healthy life. The tonsil stones are capable of causing various health impacts. Hence instead of bothering about the treatment and expenses, one can put forth more effort in order to prevent the formation of tonsil stones. Even though these stones sound to be tough, their prevention methods are very easy that everyone can follow it without any hassles. Some of the effective tips which can help to stay out of tonsil stone are discussed in this article as follows.
High water intake
Since dry mouth is one of the major reasons behind tonsil stones, more water can be taken to avoid this dryness. It is to be remembered that dry mouth will be more favorable for the growth of bacteria. Hence as the first step to prevent tonsil stone, one can intake sufficient amount of water which can prevent dryness in throat region. Taking plenty of water also holds several other health benefits. Apart from this, water can prevent mucus formation which is also a reason for tonsil stone.
Proper brushing
Brushing is not just a daily habit. But through proper brushing the food particles, debris and other substances that are struck in the teeth can be removed easily. Brushing must be done twice a day. And while brushing, the tongue should also be cleaned properly. Many people do not have the habit of cleaning their tongue. It is to be noted that this is not the good sign for oral health and they will also cause several oral problems which can be treated only through prolonged treatment. Hence one should be more careful while brushing their teeth.
Salt water
This is not only the wisest solution for getting rid of tonsil stone. But gargling with warm salt water willalso support good oral health. Since salt is basically a disinfectant, gargling with salt water will help in removing the infections accumulated in the oral parts. People who are puzzled over how to get rid oftonsil stones can follow this factor as the first attempt. Since there are not limitations, gargling with salt water can be done three to four times a day. It greatly depends upon the interest of the individual. The only thing is they must follow it regularly.

Cruise industry sets sail for Asia's growth
Insiders say millions more passengers could come from the region but infrastructure and immigration pose challenges to expansion
HNA, the mainland airline, hotel and property group, will launch its passenger cruise business tomorrow when its first cruise ship starts its maiden revenue voyage from Sanya to Vietnam.
The move comes amid mounting interest by cruise lines in Asia and especially China, although senior industry executives said there was a raft of challenges to overcome.
William Ng Ko-seng, the chief operating officer of Star Cruises which is managing the ship, confirmed the HNA liner, Henna, would set sail on a series of cruises lasting four or five nights. The initial trips will be between Sanya, Ha Long Bay and Da Nang.
Ng said the ship, which can carry up to 1,965 passengers and is the mainland's largest cruise liner, is being managed on behalf of HNA Tourism Cruise. HNA is expected to redeploy the ship by the summer to launch cruises between Tianjin and South Korea.
"I am sure they will grow," Ng told delegates to the Seatrade Hong Kong cruise forum, adding that "in a short … time Hainan will be a very busy [cruise] hub".
Pointing to the growth of the cruise industry in Asia, Liu Zinan, chairman of the Asia Cruise Association, told the forum the "potential is huge".
Pier Luigi Foschi, chairman and chief executive of Carnival Asia, expected seven million cruise passengers would come from Asia by 2020, adding he "could be wrong, it could be 10 million".
Foschi confirmed that Princess Cruises, one of the cruise companies controlled by Carnival, the world's largest cruise outfit, was opening an office in Hong Kong. Industry insiders said this showed Princess was serious about developing its Asian business from Hong Kong, especially as its US$500 million cruise liner Diamond Princess would make four visits to the Kai Tak cruise terminal between October and April 2014.
Princess Cruises will deploy its 1,990-passenger Sun Princess to Asia this year, while Costa Crociere, also part of the Carnival group, will add a second ship, the Costa Atlantica, to the Asian market from May. But the ship's home port will be Singapore rather than Hong Kong.
Foschi said Carnival was eyeing the development of cruise-focused resorts in North and Southeast Asia. He said the Asian resorts would need hotels and beaches along with infrastructure to handle the cruise ships.
Foschi outlined a number of challenges in developing the cruise market in Asia. These included persuading people in Asia to take cruises and getting travel agents to understand what cruising was about. Other challenges included infrastructure issues and the difficulty people had travelling outside their own country.
Antonio de Rosa, vice-president of Asia fleet operations at Costa Crociere, echoed the view, describing the immigration approval process for mainland passengers to visit Taiwan as "a complication".
Jeff Bent, general manager passenger services and director of cruise projects at Worldwide Flight Services, said Beijing was in the final stages of clarifying arrangements for mainland cruise passengers to join passenger liners in Hong Kong for voyages to Taiwan and beyond.
Commenting on infrastructure issues, De Rosa thought some spare sea freight capacity at ports, including in southern China, could be converted relatively cheaply for cruise ship use.
Lee Tai Hsin, president of the Taiwan International Port Corp, said US$300 million was being spent to build two cruise centres at Keelung and Kaohsiung.
Lee said the corporation, which was formed recently to take over the operation of Taiwan's leading ports, was "planning to change some of the cargo terminals into cruise terminals".
Other cruise experts at the forum questioned if there were sufficient destinations for Asian cruise passengers.
Liu said that while Hong Kong "is one of the key cruise destinations", the "shortage of destinations [in Asia] was one reason why cruise lines don't put as many ships in [the region]".
He thought there was scope to develop cruise itineraries from Hong Kong to locations in the South China Sea, while there were potentially 80 cities in Asia that could be cruise destinations. This needed the "support of central governments of each country to invest in infrastructure".
"Build the infrastructure and cruise ships will come," Liu and others said.

Bake Store is a family owned company who have a passion for baking. They aim to offer quality baking products that can be used again and again in our own homes. They go the extra mile with their customers by sharing their own recipes and use their own experience to aid customers in perfecting their home baking experience.
It wasn't long before my package arrived which I was very happy about, I couldn't wait! When I opened the box I was greeted with green and purple tissue paper that I had to unwrap to get to the goodies inside.It felt like I was opening a present!
So this is what I received. A very colourful and fun package.
The brownie pan was of better quality than I expected it to be. It's made from
heavy duty commercial steel so you can tell it is made to last. And if something happens to go wrong with it, it has a 20 year guarantee. The silicone utensils and the plastic measuring spoons have a 5 year guarantee. Score!
I was a little skeptical of the silicone utensils at first. I really didn't know what to expect quality wise, I guess I imagined them to be a little too 'floppy'.
I was pleasantly surprised to find them sturdy with the right amount of bend. I liked that the mixing spoon has a hole in the middle as it made it a lot easier to get all the ingredients distributed.
I loved how the mixing spoon and spatula has a pointed corner, so it gets all that mixture that is stuck in the side of the bowl when mixing. It also aids when getting *every last bit * of brownie mixture out of the bowl. That is very handy!
The only negative about this is that there wasn't anything left in the bowl at the end for me : (..heehee!
After the brownies came out of the oven I used the handy dandy Cake Taster to make sure it was cooked to perfection.
I used Bake Stores own recipe. You can find it below!
Chocolate Brownies
Everybody loves a chocolate brownie and after trying a few different methods, I find this is the best recipe. I always get good results and they are soon all gone. Don't forget you can change the walnuts for chocolate chunks (or glace cherries or fudge pieces) depending on who you are sharing them with.
Makes: Up to 24 depending on how large you want to cut them!
200g / 7oz of butter or margarine
450g / 1lb of caster sugar
4 level tablespoons of cocoa powder
175g / 6oz of plain flour
Pinch of salt
4 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
100g / 3 ½ oz of chopped walnuts (or chocolate pieces etc.)
1) Line a medium (23cm square roughly) baking tray or brownie tin with a sheet of Bake-O-Glide
2) Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (gas mark 4).
3) Put the butter or margarine in a bowl and melt (If you have an AGA then you can just stand the bowl on the top, otherwise put somewhere warm or heat in a pan on the hob on a low heat and watch to make sure it does not boil)
4) Put the sugar, cocoa, flour and salt into a mixing bowl and give them a good stir to make sure they are all combined
5) Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or whisk
6) Pour the melted butter in with the sugar, cocoa and flour and give this a quick stir
7) Then add the beaten eggs and vanilla and mix all this together so that you cannot see any dry bits of flour. Try not to get too vigorous with the stirring here as you don't want to get too much air mixed in. You really only need a spoon or spatula as a food mixer can make this combine too well and you will get brownies that are more cake-like than the sticky but crusty topped treats you are aiming for
8) Fold* in the chopped walnuts (or whatever else you want to use if anything)
9) Pour everything into the baking tray or brownie tin and slide into the middle of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes (for an AGA use the baking oven for the same time or for a two-oven AGA the roasting oven but reduce the time to 25-30 minutes)
10 When done the brownies should have a firm top and a tester or skewer stuck in should come out clean. Leave to cool in the tin then cut into squares and enjoy
*Tip: Folding
This is just mixing but gently. The best way is just to work on the basis of making a figure of 8 with the spoon, using the edge, and turn the bowl as you go. You will need to scrape off the edges of the bowl a few times to get all the ingredients too.
Spoon / spatula
Brownie tin / baking tray
Measuring spoons
All in all this a great set which produced a great Brownie. I was genuinely surprise at the quality of the products and I can see this set being used over and over again. Bakestore.co.uk is definitely a company I would use again and recommend to others!

Welcome to the Rileys
Twilight's Kristen Stewart steps out of Bella's one-dimensional cage to play, with surprising flair, a teenage stripper
Breaking Dawn has the in-built fan following, the big budget and the gratuitous displays of buff lycan torsos, but it's in Kristen Stewart's other film this week, a gritty, slow-burning character piece titled Welcome to the Rileys, that she opens up and delivers a properly noteworthy performance. It's here that we get a tangible sense of what could make her one of the more interesting actresses of her generation, assuming that she can escape from the crushing grip of the Twilight franchise.
As the teenage runaway and stripper Mallory, she is jangly and abrasive. She looks as if she washes her hair in a deep fat fryer. She's sullen, petulant and self-destructive: not an easy character with whom to sympathise. And yet we do. Stewart…

If any of you know me well at all, and, let's face it, only like 3 people reading this thing really know me…
Where was I? Okay, if you know me at all you know that I have a borderline inappropriate love for Austin. Texas, not the character from Days of Our Lives. You know that because I may have mentioned 1 or 357 times that I would live in Austin again in a heartbeat and how it's the coolest city in the country and all other cities wish they were as cool and how the food there is heaven on a plate and the people are cool and funky and laid back and how it's scenic and like a sweet potato wrapped in a vintage coat stuck in a pair of the most fabulous (yet comfortable) shoes you've ever seen. In other words, the trifecta of all things good.
But, if you don't know me and this is the first you've heard of my city stalking, then grab your Snuggie and settle in, because it's sure to come up again on this blog.
I think my pining is partly because it really is THAT awesome of a city and partly because when I did live there for a few years I was, oh how do we say, occupying more space than I do now. As such, I feel I was robbed of experiencing all it has to offer and can appreciate that now. If any of you have ever been overweight – not like PMS bloat fat or I had a piece of cake last night fat – then you may know that while you can name all the restaurants in town, you may also be able to count on one hand the times you felt fabulous enough to mix with the beautiful people.
But that was 40 pounds ago, so now, as one of the beautiful people (settle down…I'm kidding. I'm more incredibly adorable than beautiful.) I think I deserve to move back and buy one of these houses. Is that asking too much? I mean, 40 pounds is a lot, ya'll.
I also deserve one of those airplane oxygen mask thingies to fall out the ceiling above my desk right now because I'm about to cold pass out. These houses? In Austin? Just. Stop.
Just. Stop.

A few weeks ago I heard our pastor tell us about how he had to surrender football to God for a season. He grew up the son of a pro football coach, and he and his brothers played football as well. Sundays were made for football. He himself played football in college. When God called him to the ministry, obviously, he surrendered the dream of going pro and settled for probably watching some games taped or just catching the end or even missing them all together. But at some point he felt God ask him to "give Me football." He felt that he already had given him football, but the more he prayed about it, the more he realized that football was still an idol in his life, and for five years y'all he did not watch football at all…that's a pretty big sacrifice for a man who grew up that way, but he laid it down on the altar to God to say it will not be my god…and obviously, now he can still enjoy football, he just knows it's not his God.
Our church is in a season of fasting and praying for this upcoming year, and we have a devotional that we do corporately. A couple days ago, our devo was entitled "What's in a Name?" and it discussed the names people call us and the identities that we take on, but that our most important name, our most important identity is in Christ. God has called us by His name; He has made us in His image. We are called Christians…but is that really the identity that we cling to most???
I told the story of my pastor, because I think in a large way it illustrates well how we don't know if we really just hold our identity in Christ or if maybe we have made a tiny bit of an idol/safety net out of other identities until we are asked to lay them down or they are stripped from us. Pastor Joe was pretty much Joe Football at that point – his family didn't go to church growing up, they weren't religious – they were football – and he gave up football, even watching it….
When Scott and I got married and our daughter was born exactly one year and three weeks later, I had a lot of identity change fast. I mean I hadn't even graduated from college before I married Scott – I went straight from high school to college student to married to mom in just a few short years and my world was rocked. My body changed. The activities I was involved in changed. I wasn't able to go the hair salon and get my hair highlighted (and all my sista's out there that need a good stylist said a good amen), and at the time I was in school and married and mom and living on nickels and dimes trying to make ends meet.
I remember really wrestling with God over my physical appearance, especially. People treat you differently, I felt, and I just felt so…worthless. I remember just begging God to get my hair done. Feel free to laugh, it's ok. I remember just wrestling over the thought of someone seeing me disheveled with spitup on my shoulder and baby boogers across the knees of my jeans, my roots grown out in some sort of backwards hombre, and clothing that could not hide all the baby weight that I had gained along the way. I mean, I know all moms go through this to some degree, but we were in some pretty serious situations and I was also working full time by this point and taking 18 hours of courses trying to finish my degree, so I was a little worse than your average just had a baby look. I felt ashamed.
And God and I wrestled. I cried. I cried a lot! I told him how I hated that I felt so humbled and ugly and how people treated me like I was so worthless. I hated feeling like I never had it together. I hated feeling so sleep deprived and like everything was out of control. I had so carefully built an identity where I was mostly well put together and well-manicured and well liked, and now I just felt like a mess, and I was hiding.
It was in that place that God asked me where my worth comes from. He asked me, "What is your name?" "Who are you?" Are you a blonde haired cheerleader? Are you some girl who used to be a cute little blonde haired cheerleader in high school and now is some typical has been overweight mom? (He didn't say that last part – that was me) Your family doesn't like you – so do they get to decide your worth? Who are they? Are you Scott's wife? Are you Laurelei's mom? What if something happens to them? Who are you then?
And then I cried more. And God had me go to the place where what if the worst happened and something happened to my sweet hubbie and my precious babies – even then, God would still be on his throne. Even then. And who would I be then?
And then it came to me…
I am the daughter of the Most High King. A princess of the highest royal line, not that I am better than any other, but that I have chosen to accept my inheritance. My freedom cannot be taken from me unless I give it away. I have power, I have beauty, I have strength because I am made in the image of the Most High God. The One and Only – The God! I am loved. And I am not hard to love, either. I am loved well. I am adored, admired, and wanted. I am paid for at a high price. I am His.
And my friends…so are you. What other names have you allowed people to call you – for me it was unlovable, irritating, ditzy, too deep, sensitive, too quiet, too loud
Or what identities have you clung to –
Hobbies or relationships or even I heard a song today that made me think "I'm a a little more country than that"…there was a time in my life where I told God I would go wherever He called me – even if it was to the city (which to me is a like a mega sacrifice), not that these are bad things….just they must all be surrendered to our identity in Christ! Because under Him our desires, our hearts true desires will always be fulfilled.

Before you judge this recipe, let me tell you that words cannot describe the yummyness that comes out of this soup! I first started making it this past winter and it was a fabulous soup for the chilly nights we do get here in Florida. It also has ended up being a great summer soup too, but again, this is probably my love of anything with a Mexican flair to it lol.
Ingredients and recipe
1 medium bell pepper – diced small
1 medium red onion – diced small
8oz. cooked chicken breasts cut or shredded into small pieces
2 (10oz) cans of Ro-Tel Diced tomatoes and Green chilies
1 (4oz) can chopped green chilies
1 (15oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 1/2 oz) chicken broth
1 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup salsa
1 tsp each cumin, basil, oregano
1/2 tsp each cilantro, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper
1 oz Baked tortilla chips
1oz Fat free or Low fat Cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp Fat free sour cream
Add all ingredients listed above in a large pot and heat on medium-high, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 min. Reduce heat to low (simmer) and allow to cook a minimum of 1 hour. The longer it cooks, the better the flavors blend.
To serve, crush 1-2 oz (to be precise it's about 14 chips if your counting for your points)of baked Tostitos in the bottom of the bowl pour soup on top of chips and top with shredded cheese and sour cream if desired.
**I got the recipe from someone at work so I'm not sure if its a Weight Watchers official recipe or not but it is from one of their group meetings a few years back.

Gretzky is currently engaged to PGA Tour pro Dustin Johnson.
"The first swing I took in my dad's tournament, I whiffed it in front of 30 people," Gretzky told Golf Digest. "It was probably the best thing that ever happened to me because I'm really competitive like my mom and dad, and it made me want to keep trying."

The effect of the elastic reflexion of slow (< 2 eV) electrons from the anode and the cathode of a planar diode on the potential distribution and the voltage/current characteristic is worked out. Both the `exponential' and the `space-charge limited' regions of the characteristic are treated, and for the exponential region some new $\xi$-$\eta$ tables have been computed which include the effect of electron reflexion. The characteristic of an actual planar diode is calculated as an example and is compared with the experimentally determined characteristic. It is concluded that the elastic reflexion of slow electrons in a diode with an oxide-coated cathode has a major effect on the voltage/current characteristic and the electric field distribution. The determination of contact potential associated with the diode is also affected.

Advent in Weimar - 30 November to 4 December
Directed by Colin Durrant
Advent in Weimar
If you really enjoyed last year's Christmas visit to Vienna, but found the Christmas markets and the city itself just a bit too busy, Weimar may be the perfect Advent destination for you. It's a city that feels like a beautifully preserved large town - we thought it was charming! Weimar was the home of Germany's two greatest poets - Goethe and Schiller - but also, for many years, JS Bach. We shall sing our concert in the Church where Bach's children (including Carl Philip Emmanuel) were baptised and see the tower where he was imprisoned by an irate Duke. Musicologists believe that it was during this incarceration that Bach wrote some of his finest work - including the 48 Preludes and Fugues - the Well Tempered Klavier.
We will sing a traditional English Advent concert in Bach's local Church and have secured the services of Colin Durrant - who many of you enjoyed singing with in Venice this year - to direct our music-making. There is plenty to do and see in Weimar when we are not singing, with the River Ilm, fine walks in the huge landscaped Park, museums, cafes and kellers - not to mention the Christmas markets. Weimar's markets are not as large and impressive as Vienna's - but they are a lot more accessible. The vistors are mostly locals or visitors from the region. The Gluhwein laced with rum is excellent and the grilled Thuringia sausages on offer are meant to be the best in Germany. Having sampled a few on your behalf, Nick is inclined to agree.
Find out more about Weimar here.
Leipzig Option
As we are so near Leipzig we though it might be good to visit some of Bach's other churches including the Thomaskirche where he is buried. We have arranged an optional day in Leipzig with a musical guided tour and some of the largest and most diverse Christmas markets in Germany to distract us. The cost of this extra day with the tour and an overnight stay in central Leipzig right opposite the Thomaskirche on the Wednesday night will be £150; the single occupancy supplement will be £35. If there are enough of us we will arrange a coach to Weimar the next day, if not, we will probably take the train. These onward transport costs can now be included in the Leipzig Option price.
Who is the course for?
This course is for experienced choral singers of all ages. Participants should be prepared to study the music beforehand, although nobody is expected to be note-perfect on Day One. It also helps if you enjoy good food, good company and the occasional glass of wine. Our singing holidays have proved equally popular with people travelling on their own and singing couples.
Of the Father's heart begotten (arr. Willcocks)
Teach me O Lord (Attwood)

The Linden tree carol (arr. Jacques)
And the glory of the Lord - from Messiah (Handel)
Angelus ad virginem (arr. Willcocks)
O Thou the central orb (Wood)
Lo! He comes with clouds descending (arr. Willcocks)
Colin Durrant
Dr Colin Durrant has been conducting choirs since the age of 15 – a very long time ago. He currently is conductor of the University of London Chamber Choir as well as Imperial College Choir. Colin has been leading the postgraduate programme in Music Education at the Institute of Education, University of London and previously been Visiting Professor at the University of Maryland and Choral Director of the New England Conservatoire in Boston. Colin has a wide range of choral conducting and teaching experience and is principal conducting tutor and on the standards and training unit for the Association of British Choral Directors.
Where do we stay?
Weimar is a popular place during the Advent markets but we have been negotiating hard on your behalf. As ever there is a balance to be struck between location and cost. For this event we have therefore chosen two hotels – a very comfortable (some would say luxurious) four star hotel in the centre of everything – and a perfectly acceptable alternative hotel about 15/20 minutes walk away.
The four-star Russischer Hof is ideally situated within strolling distance of shops, the markets, museums and (most importantly) our rehearsal room. The staff speak excellent English, there is a bar and restaurant, and a handy taxi rank outside the hotel. It is an elegant, traditionally styled hotel and justifiably popular. The price we have negotiated makes this a very good value hotel by German standards but it will still be an expensive option for some singers.
The Leonardo Hotel is also four star but is rather more modern. It also has a bar and restaurant and is sited opposite the gorgeous Park an der Ilm about a kilometre outside the town itself. The walk into town is quite pleasant and there is even a bus for the hard of walking.
What does it cost?
The cost of the singing package including the concert, four nights at the Russischer Hof with full breakfast and two 3-course evening meals will be £745 per person sharing. (Single room supplement £35 per night) The Leonardo option will be £645 per person sharing (Single room supplement £30 per night) Non-singing partners are welcome and pay a reduced fee of £495 and £395 respectively. This includes full participation in all group activites. We will require a £125.00 deposit per person and the balance will be invoiced no later than eight weeks before we leave.
Getting there
This bit is up to you and is not included in the price of the weekend. The nearest international airports are Leipzig and Berlin both of which have excellent rail links to Weimar. In fact, making good use of the excellent Deutsche Bahn high-speed rail services is definitely the best way to travel to and from Weimar. The course starts with dinner on the Thursday night and ends on Sunday evening after our concert. Most people will choose to go home on Monday but if you wish to stay an extra day please let us know in good time and we should be able to arrange it for you.
Travel and health insurance
Insurance is not included so we strongly recommend that all singers take out their own cover. You should also bring an EHIC card with you.
Any questions?
If you have any questions at all please contact Nick Couchman (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Emma Ford (email@example.com) or ring Nick during office hours on 01462 893972. The office is not always occupied but if we are not there, leave a message and we will call you back promptly.

America's leading authorities on ten influential cuisines offer a master class on authentic flavors and techniques from around the world
Today's professional chefs have the world to use as their pantry and draw freely on a global palette of flavors. Now Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page bring together some of the foremost culinary authorities to reveal how to use different flavors and techniques to create a new level of culinary artistry. Mario Batali, Daniel Boulud, Alain Ducasse, Paula Wolfert, and many others share the foundations of ten influential cuisines:
* Japanese
* Italian
* Spanish
* French
* Chinese
* Indian
* Mexican
* Thai
* Vietnamese
* Moroccan
Packed with information, ideas, and photographs that will inspire every cook, The New American Chef shares a mouthwatering array of nearly 200 authentic recipes, including Honey Spare Ribs from Michael Tong of Shun Lee Palace, Gazpacho Andaluz from José Andrés of Jaleo, and Steamed Sea Bass with Lily Buds from Charles Phan of The Slanted Door.
Dornenburg and Page (Chef's Night Out; Becoming a Chef) collaborate successfully once more, bringing together the international inspirations that today's chefs draw from. As unusual, often imported ingredients become more readily available, the authors believe that "there is an exciting opportunity for experimentation and exercising creativity. On the other hand, experimentation-particularly in the hands of an inexperienced chef-can be disastrous." Dornenburg and Page address this problem by bringing together 10 fundamental international cuisines in one handy volume. Drawing on the knowledge of the leading exponents of each fare, and liberally sprinkling in quotations, they distill these styles, ingredients and techniques into a philosophy that can guide the chef or the inspired home cook to produce authentic results. Whether focusing on Japanese or Moroccan cuisines, the authors call for advice upon the likes of such notables as Paula Wolfert, Rick Bayless and Daniel Boulud, who provide not only their expertise but also their recipes. Each section is divided into the fundamentals, including a culinary map, flavor palette, ingredients and techniques as well as a suggested reading list from cookbook shop notable Nach Waxman, before finishing with several timeless recipes that provide a basic repertoire. Most recipes require a certain level of knowledge and competence, but some, such as the clean-tasting Gazpacho Andaluz and vibrant Chicken Tangine with Prunes, are within reach of any cook. The finished work is deceptively thorough, but it works better as a guide to the values, tastes and methods that form each cuisine than as a recipe book. (Oct.)

Unanswered: Calculate time in days between 2 dates for each row, then use data in a second report
I have a table in access with rows of help desk incidents
Each incident has a create date, closed date, affected user, building, closed-by-person, etc.
The goal is to be able to run these couple reports against this data:
1- be able to specify a time period, say a week, a month (i.e. a range )
2- within this date range, to show the number of incidents closed on the first day (opened and closed on same day), with 2nd day, 3rd day, 5th day, 10th day, or closed after more than 10 days.
Add a column to the data sheet on the right next to each row showing how long it took in days between incident creation and closing.
both ideas above are related that's why I'm asking about both here.
Do you think it's best to add the calculation column on the right first , the using the results from here (this is flat and static data now) to use in the main report, the first one, to make it easier to create the first report?
Thank you
