Deadline to oppose water rate hike comes after hearing
Residents opposed to proposed water rate increases will have a last chance to air their concerns and submit a protest letter to the Crescent City Council during a public hearing Monday night.
The Council in September unanimously approved increasing monthly water rates by $6.16 - or 60 percent - in December for the average residential customer who uses 1,600 cubic feet of water per month. Rates would then increase by $3.79 in 2014, $3.44 in 2015, 72 cents in 2016 and 74 cents in 2017.
The additional revenue would pay for upgrades to make the system more reliable. The upgrades include making an elevated tank on Wonder Stump Road, which guides the water from its source near the Smith River to town, more earthquake resistant.
If rates aren't increased, Crescent City's water fund will be out of cash by January and it won't be able to make a state loan payment in February, according to Interim Finance Director Susan Mayer. The water fund's projected deficit was $417,000 when the city adopted its 2013andndash;14 budget in June. The current projected deficit is $649,000, according to Mayer.
Water customers have paid the current water rates for more than a decade. Residential customers who use 1,600 cubic feet of water per month currently pay $10.26.
Residents have an opportunity to protest the proposed rate increases through the Proposition 218 process. If the city receives protest letters from more than 50 percent of the affected parcels, it cannot implement the rate increase. The total number of parcels for which protests can be submitted is 3,741, according to the city.
"They've had a 45-day opportunity to protest," said City Manager Eugene Palazzo. "We have received a few, but I don't know the number."
Protestors have until the end of a public hearing on the water rates to submit letters, Palazzo said. Those who have already submitted protest letters also have until that time to withdraw their protest. It may take 30 minutes or so for City Clerk Robin Patch, who has received the protest letters, to count them, Palazzo said.
One protest per parcel may be submitted to the city, according to City Attorney Bob Black. The protest can come from the property owner or a tenant who is directly responsible for his or her water bill. Even if the water bill is in the landlord's name, if it is stated in a tenant's lease that he or she must pay for it, then that person too would be able to submit a protest letter, according to Black.
The City Council meets at 6 p.m. Monday at the Flynn Administrative Center, 981 H St. Agendas and staff reports can be found at www.crescentcity.org.

The Windows 7 Upgrade
The latest fad among free-wheeling startups may be BYOD, but government offices tend to be far more conservative. Government offices handling confidential data even more so. When Miguel started his contract with a state office, they issued him a laptop. For security reasons, he was forbidden from using any other machine, nor should anyone else use his. Also for security reasons, the laptop was not allowed to leave his desk. It was locked in place with a security chain too short to move the laptop more than a few inches.
The computer had a great deal of character. It was so old that archaeologists kept stopping by, asking to place it in a museum. Over its lifetime, it had received a few upgrades. The HDD was 500GB, and its RAM was maxed out- at 2GB. This created special challenges for Miguel, since their software required VS2003, VS2005, VS2008 and VS2010, installed alongside their third-party SaaS reporting tools. The machine limped along on Windows XP.

kyriacos kyriacou 11/27/03
If anyone has any information about the families of either Kyriacou or Hajifodi (not sure of spelling) that lived in the village of Koni Kebir or nearby, I would really appreciate it.My great grandmother was Lumbrou Kyriacou then married my great grandfather Georgio Hajifodi.Although he died in his 30's she left Cyprus in the 1950's to come to England, where her daughter (my grandmother) met and married Costas Iacovou.
I know my great grandmother had alot of siblings but thats all I know.

Re: Thomas Flahive Glantanes+Mary Landers Ballinahunt ,Co,Kerry
mary hosford 8/16/08
It looks like we are not related afterall.My Ellen went to Albany NY in about 1870 and married a John Gunnoude of Ross Parish, Rahan, King Co. Ireland.She and the extended Gunnoude family moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa,in about 1870, she had a son Michael Gunnoude b. in early 1870's and then John G. died in 1872.She married (2) George Bick from Glouchester, England and they had 5 children one of whom was my grandmother Hannah Bick.George Bick and family is in the 1880 census of Council Bluffs.Ellen Gunnoude Bick was burned to death in a house fire in 1902 in Council Bluffs.
I know that Ellen's brother, Maurice was from Kerry as it is on his tombstone.I know from family records that her father's name was John and mother's was Catherine.I am sorry that it wasn't the Glenthanes family as I have been there and really believed that it was the one.Really beautiful on the Dingle Peninsula!
As you know, it is usually a process of elimination.Out of five Johns in the land records, there are already two Johns with wife's name of Catherine.The probabily of even two out of five is very low so it is hard to believe that I should look for a third set with John and Catherine.
The other one was John Flahive and Catherine W. Kennan of Castlegregory who had two baptisms:Joannes son of Joa. Flahiff and Catherine W. Kennan witnessed by Joa. W. Kennan and Surre Reeves (27 April, 1851) and Maria daughter of Joa. Flahiff and Catherine W. Kennan witnessed by Patrick Flaherty and Maria Flaherty.I couldn't find any other children from 1828-1879.Maybe the whole family left Ireland.The place in Castlegregory was referred to as Keelnandrane and in another place, Kilnanandrane.
Now I wish I were back in Dublin so that I could follow through.
I have the names of the witnesses for the baptisms of the three children of John Flahive and Catherine Lynch in case you would like to have them.Also there were a couple of other entries which might belong to your clan
(another John Flahive).Let me know if you would like this information.I don't think that there were many Flahives in Castlegregory.
Let's keep in touch,


text: Okay this is my first pre trip report and while I am in planning mode over a year in advance, which some will say is crazy! I am known to be a meticulous planner and want things to be extra magical for my children when we go back to disney for our 2nd trip. We will be there during Dec. 19-27 and as I said this is our second trip. Our first was in June of 2008. I have made it a mission to try to return every 2 years, with agreement from my dh, which may not always be so easy. Thus far all I have done is made my resort reservation at the Wilderness Lodge with deluxe dining. Not sure about that, we had basic dining last time. Any suggestions please let me know. Also, I honestly need and welcome any ideals for celelebrating a 8yr old boy's birthday, as our first arrival day will be my youngest son's birthday! Thanks.

Since aerobic exercise (e.g., walking) and resistance exercise (e.g., lifting objects and mopping) are both parts of activities of daily living, an exaggerated elevation in systolic blood pressure (SBP) during aerobic and resistance exercise is an early marker of cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the effects of habitual exercise on SBP during low-intensity resistance exercise using both cross-sectional and interventional approaches. First, in 57 normotensive women (61.9±1.0 years of age) daily physical activity level as assessed by triaxial accelerometry was correlated with SBP during resistance exercise at 20% and 40% of the one-repetition maximum (r=−0.408 and r=−0.348, respectively). Maximal oxygen uptake was correlated with SBP during exercise at 20% (r=−0.385) and 40% (r=−0.457). Physical activity level or maximal oxygen uptake was identified as a predictor of SBP during the exercise in stepwise regression analysis, independent of SBP at rest and other factors (R2=0.729 to 0.781). Second, 66 men and women (64.6±0.9 years of age) participated in a 6-week intervention as a part of the training (walking, 4.3±0.3 d/wk, 55.6±4.1 min/d, 70.7±1.2% of maximal heart rate) or control group. SBP during resistance exercise in the training group decreased after the intervention (before vs. after: 20%, 143±4 vs. 128±4 mmHg; and 40%, 148±5 vs. 134±4 mmHg). In the control group, there were no significant differences in SBP before and after the intervention. SBP during resistance exercise after the intervention was lower in the training group relative to the control group. These results suggest that habitual exercise decreases SBP during low-intensity resistance exercise.

Up to £2 billion of the UK's unclaimed financial assets have been found and could transform future funding for the charity and voluntary sector. They were unearthed during an investigation by the Dormant Assets Commission, formed in December 2015 by Minister for Civil Society Rob Wilson to identify new resources for social ventures.
Around £360 million from dormant accounts have already been used to support good causes, with £300 million donated to independent financial institution, Big Society Capital. A total of £893 million is available to charities and social enterprises, with an impact already being felt by projects such as Homes for Good in Scotland, who use social investment to offer affordable housing to those at risk of homelessness.
'The reason I set up the commission was to unearth new resources that would allow our charities and voluntary groups to become more sustainable and independent,' said Wilson in a press release on the UK government's website. 'But crucially, to deliver really important local services over the long term.'
Further projects who have benefitted from the current dormant accounts scheme include London's ThinkForward, a charity providing disadvantaged young people with education and employment opportunities, and Harrogate Skills 4 Living Centre in Yorkshire, a residential care home for 90 adults with learning disabilities.
'I am delighted we now have the potential to help good causes even more,' said chair of the commission, Nick O'Donohoe. 'I hope the financial sector now supports our ambition by contributing dormant assets benefit to an expanded scheme.'

TRINITY INDUSTRIES. Trinity Industries, headquartered in Dallas, is a diversified manufacturer and marketer of heavy metal products with manufacturing and fabrication operations in six business segments, including railcars, marine products, construction products, containers, metal components, and leasing. In 1993 the company operated sixty-three production facilities in seventeen states. The company, first known as Trinity Steel, was founded by C. J. Bender in Dallas in 1933. W. Ray Wallace, an engineering graduate of Louisiana Tech, worked for Dallas's Austin Bridge Company in 1944 before joining the company in 1946 as its seventeenth employee. At the time Trinity Steel manufactured butane tanks in a Dallas County mule barn. In 1958 Trinity Steel merged with Dallas Tank Company, which was also founded in 1933, and Ray Wallace became the new firm's president and first chief executive officer. At the time Trinity had revenues reaching $2.5 million and employed 200 workers. While some employees of the firm in other states eventually unionized, Texas workers never formed a union. For a time the company profited by producing larger tanks that enabled it to enter the petroleum business and do steel fabrication for refineries. In addition, to free up capital, it established an investment company to buy trucks and lease them back to the firm. Nonetheless, by 1957 Trinity faced competition and declines in the petroleum industry. Dallas Tank, Trinity Steel, and Bender-Wallace Development Company merged in 1958 to form Trinity Industries, Incorporated, and went public.
In 1970 Trinity diversified with the acquisition of 153 acres of land adjacent to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airportqv and in 1971 established its first real estate subsidiary. Acquisition of Mosher Steel in 1973, after initially contracting work out to them, enhanced the company's structural business. Among projects completed by the firm's structural division were the Texas Stadium, New York's World Trade Center, the Balboa Bridge in Panama, the Pennzoil Building, and two buildings in Moscow. By the 1980s two subsidiaries, Gamble's Incorporated of Alabama and Mosher Steel of Texas, manufactured structural products including materials for drilling platforms, highway bridge components, commercial-high-rise buildings, and other girders and beams. The firm's marine subsidiary, Equitable Shipyards, produced LASH or Lighter Aboard Ship barges, riverboats for use by Hilton Hotelsqv, and other craft for industrial uses. Hackney, Incorporated, its metal components subsidiary, produced materials for piping systems. Trinity produced completed railcars, including tank cars, hoppers, and gondolas to transport chemicals, coal, and other substances, at locations in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Longview, Texas, and held two railcar leasing subsidiaries. The company also produced containers for fertilizer, liquified petroleum gas, and nuclear fuel and waste. In 1981 the company acquired a metal fabrication firm at Channelview, Texas, and Babcock and Wilcox plants in Elkhart, Indiana, and Koppel, Pennsylvania, and in 1983 it acquired Halter Marine. In the 1990s expansion continued with the acquisition of the Transit Mix Concrete and Materials Company of Beaumont, Texas, Beiard Industries, Syro Steel, and Stearns of Fort Worth, Texas, a major producer of airport equipment. By 1993 revenues exceeded $1.5 billion, and the firm employed 13,000 people.

Trying to get a modem to work under Linux can be frustrating, irritating, and downright brutal. But it doesn't have to be that way. Setting it up properly requires some patience and careful planning. Here I'll explain how to set up your modem to work under Red Hat 8 and offer a quick troubleshooting tip.
Make sure you have a Linux-compatible modem
Before you try to install and configure the modem, make sure it is Linux-compatible. To find out if a particular modem is Linux-compatible and obtain the appropriate driver, check the modem manufacturer's Web site, Red Hat's Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) and/or Linmodems.org.
Configuring a new dial-up modem
Once you've physically installed the modem and connected it to the phone line, log in as root, click the Main menu button, click System Settings, and select Network. This will open the Network Administration Tool, which is used to install and configure network devices such as network cards, ISDN modems, and dial-up modems. You can also start this utility from a shell prompt by issuing the command, redhat-config-network.
Once the Network Administration Tool is open, take a few moments to familiarize yourself with its four main tabs: Devices, Hardware, Hosts, and DNS. By default the Devices tab is selected and from here you can add, edit, copy, delete, and activate/deactivate various communication devices, such as network adapters and modems.
To add a new modem make sure the Devices tab is selected, then click Add, select Modem connection from the Device Type list, and click Forward. If you have already configured your modem on the machine's hardware list, the Network Administration tool will use that one to make the connection. If no modem is configured, the Network Administration Tool will search for one. When the search is complete, you will be asked to select the appropriate modem device, set the modem's volume, baud rate, flow control, and use of Touch-Tone dialing. Once you have configured the modem, click Forward.
You will then be asked to enter information about your ISP, such as phone number, user name, and password. Enter the required information and click Forward. The Create Dialup Connection screen will appear displaying the information you have just entered; click Apply. You will return to the main Network Administration Tool window, and the modem connection should appear under the Devices tab. Click Apply to save your new modem connection settings.
Once the modem has been added, you can further customize its configuration by clicking on the modem in the device list and clicking the Edit button. The Modem Dialup Configuration screen appears, and from here you can customize the modem by editing the information under the General, Route, Provider, Compression, Options, and Advanced tabs. But I recommend leaving the default settings unless you are an advanced Linux user. When you're finished making changes, click OK to save your settings and return to the Network Administration Tool's main window.
One final step before you can begin using your modem: By default new network devices are listed as inactive. You will need to activate your new modem by selecting the modem from the device list and clicking the Activate button.
Troubleshooting dial-up modem problems
So you've done all your homework, entered the correct configuration information, and the modem still fails to function properly. When this happens, you'll need to do some careful thinking and some intensive digging to find out what went wrong.
You might get an error message that says something like, "No modem detected" or there might not even be an error message. When this happens, your first step is to watch for hang-ups during the boot process. If you notice this happening, it's likely Linux cannot find the modem on the serial port you specified. Go back into the Network Administration Tool and ensure the modem is on the correct serial port.
If you don't know on which serial port your modem is located, you can use a program called, WvDial to find it. WvDial is automatically installed during the typical Red Hat 8 installation and has two main components, wvdial and wvdialconf. For the purposes of this article, you should be concerned only with wvdialconf. When run, this program searches your serial ports for modems, determines the capabilities of any modem it finds, and saves this information to a configuration file. To run wvdialconf, enter wvdialconf at a shell prompt followed by a configuration file name. For example:
wvdialconf mymodem
The results of wvdialconf's search will be displayed on the screen. If wvdialconf fails to find your modem, the problem may be that your modem isn't installed properly or isn't compatible with Linux. For more information on using WvDial check out Red Hat's Web site or Net Integration Technologies Web site.
If you still have trouble after trying WvDial, I recommend you read Modem-HOWTO from LinuxPlanet.com.

After finally hitting their stride and going on a run that included wins in six of seven games, the New York Knicks actually began to look like a team capable of saving their season and reaching the playoffs.
Things were good in Knick nation, considering the circumstances.
With the exception of the never ending issues concerning J.R. Smith, New York had managed to rattle off five straight victories and move into a tie for the final playoff spot in the dismal Eastern Conference prior to their tilt in Charlotte this past Tuesday.
But unfortunately for the Knicks (15-25), the Bobcats ended their longest winning streak of the season with a 108-98 victory, leaving New York unable regain their footing in time to handle a tough Pacers' team that cruised to a 117-89 thrashing of their rivals on Thursday night.
Friday night didn't go any better for the Knicks who welcomed the L. A. Clippers to town for the first game of the franchise's longest homestand since December of 1986, and after losing their third straight, New York will undoubtedly need a miracle to salvage the season.
Despite entering halftime knotted at 50 apiece, New York couldn't hang on to a 65-62 lead with just over four minutes left in the third. Clearly outgunned, the Knicks watched as the high-flying Clippers went on a 14-2 run that resulted in a 76-67 lead to begin the final quarter.
Led by Blake Griffin's 32 points and seven rebounds combined with 29 points from Jamaal Crawford, the Chris Paul-less Clippers outscored their hosts 33-28 in the fourth to earn their fifth-straight win and improve to 8-2 over their last 10 games.
Currently evicted from the Staples Center due to the Grammy Awards, L.A.'s "other team" began their second seven-game road trip of the season on Friday night, and will travel to Indianapolis for a showdown with the Pacers on Saturday.
While Carmelo Anthony led the way for New York in the loss with 26 points and 20 rebounds, the Knicks' top scorer shot just over 17% from the field (4-23), but did manage to hit all 16 shots from the charity stripe.
And while Anthony was busy building a house one ill-advised jumper at a time, Smith took advantage of playing time that he's no longer guaranteed, and turned in his best performance of the season with 24 points for the Knicks who shot only 35% from the floor.
Clearly concerned after the loss, head coach Mike Woodson suggested that some changes to the starting line up may be in the near future after a horrid showing from both Ray Felton and Iman Shumpert resulted in a combined five points against the Clippers.
Adding to the laundry-list of concerns currently troubling to the Knicks, both Amare Stoudemire and Kenyon Martin sat out on Friday night after injuring their left ankles during New York's loss to Indy and are expected to miss a minimum of two weeks.
But almost as if they've been handed a gift by a committee of mythical NBA-deciders, New York's next six games (Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Bobcats, L.A. Lakers, and Cleveland Cavaliers), are all scheduled against teams that all currently have records below .500.
Even with one last chance to right the ship however, the fact remains that prior to the start of their current homestand, New York was well aware that these eight games at MSG could easily decide the fate of their season, and in order to capitalize, you simply have to find a way to win.
Injured, disorganized, and reaching for a life-preserver, the Knicks are constantly surrounded by a headline-hungry sports media in the big apple, and are now in desperate need of a tone-setting win on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets if they have any chance at all of turning this thing around before it's too late.

To know how to calculate your personal 'cognitive randomness'
ability (as shown in our widely covered article) read this.
For the new functionality on network analysis read:
An Algorithmic Information Calculus for Causal Discovery and Reprogramming Systems
and also, very important, the Numerical Limitations subsection in the How It Works subpage.
The Online Algorithmic Complexity Calculator (OACC) is a powerful tool that provides estimations of algorithmic complexity (a.k.a. Kolmogorov-Chaitin complexity) (or $K$) and Algorithmic Probability for short and long strings and for 2-dimensional arrays better than any other tool, and estimations of Bennett's Logical Depth (or $LD$) for strings, hitherto impossible to estimate with any other tool. These 3 measures constitute the most powerful and universal algorithmic measures of complexity.
To estimate the complexity of long strings and large adjacency matrices, the OACC uses a method called $BDM$ which is based upon Algorithmic Probability. The estimation of complexity by $BDM$ is compatible with --but beyond the scope of-- lossless compression algorithms, which are so widely used to estimate $K$. Implementations of lossless compression are, however, entirely based upon Shannon entropy ($S$) (e.g. LZ, LZW, DEFLATE, etc) and thus cannot capture any algorithmic content beyond simple statistical patterns (repetitions). In contrast to lossless compression, $BDM$ not only considers statistical regularities but is also sensitive to segments of an algorithmic nature (such as sequences like $12345...$ or $246810...$), which Shannon entropy and lossless compression algorithms would only be able to characterize as having maximum randomness and the highest degree of incompressibility. Moreover, unlike Kolmogorov-Chaitin complexity (thanks to the Invariance Theorem), both Entropy and Entropy-based compression algorithms are not invariant to language choice and are therefore not robust enough to measure complexity or randomness (technical arguments and an example are be found here).
For exhaustive or heavy calculations please do download or use alternatives such as our R implementation.
The OACC is a project developed by the following labs:

Chin Implant Surgery (Chin Augmentation) New York City
The chin augmentation procedure is one of the most common procedures performed, and can be performed either alone, or conjunction with another operation. Other operations that are performed simultaneously are a facelift, and/or a rhinoplasty (nasal surgery).
If you often find yourself complaining of a weak chin, Dr. Sherman can help by simply inserting an implant to rectify the problem. While chin augmentation in New York does work to improve facial aesthetics, it is not designed to correct any type of occlusal (malocclusion) abnormalities. In addition, chin implants and augmentation are ideal for both men and women who desire a stronger facial profile, and can be leveraged to realign the structure of a patient's face.
A strong chin is an important part of the facial profile and can make people feel younger, healthier, and more attractive. Let Dr. John E. Sherman and his New York Plastic Surgery Clinic help you achieve your goals!
In addition, be sure to take a look at our before and after chin surgery and augmentation gallery to get some ideas about potential results!
Procedure Details
The operation takes approximately 15-20 minutes. The incision for the chin augmentation procedure may be made either through the mouth or through a very small incision placed in the crease under the chin.
The chin implant, which is made of silicone, is placed in a small pocket, and secured to the mandible (lower jaw). The incision is then closed, and the resultant small scar is inconspicuous and hardly detectable.
Anesthesia: The chin implant surgery procedure can be performed either under local anesthesia, or sedation if the patient desires to be asleep. If performed under local anesthesia, patients may pre-medicate themselves by taking an oral pain medication half an hour prior to surgery. If intravenous sedation is used, a board certified anesthesiologist will be in the room giving the anesthesia.
Risks and Recovery
Potential Complications
Potential complications, as with any operation, are infection, bleeding, and scarring. Infection is exceedingly rare, and if present, the chin implant is simply removed. Other possibilities include injury to either a sensory or motor nerve. Again, this is exceedingly rare and usually temporary, but it can possibly be permanent. Usually, the sensation or motor movement of the muscle returns within 2-3 months.
Since the chin implant is placed within a very small pocket, the other remote possibility is the implant being placed in an improper position. If this occurs, this certainly can be corrected with a small procedure usually taking less than 15 minutes. This is usually noticed within the first week after surgery.
The patient leaves the operating room with tape over the chin to help reduce swelling, and to keep the implant in place. This tape is usually removed approximately 48 hours after surgery. Therefore, the usual time off from work is approximately 48 hours. Sutures, if present, are removed 5 days after surgery.
Benefits of Chin Surgery and Augmentation
No matter how healthy or physically active you are, the effects of aging cannot be stopped. This is most evident in the areas surrounding the chin as it has a tendency for a lot of sagging and fat accumulation to take place. For this reason, chin implants offers numerous benefits, restoring a look of youth and vitality:
- Implants simulate a natural bone structure, which gives more definition to thin or recessed features, or angular shape to parts of the face like the jaw line.
- Chin implants offer the option of restructuring the face for better balance and symmetry.
- Stronger features will be emphasized and will detract from other flaws around the chin.
- Someone who dislikes their nose structure but does not want go through a procedure can choose to get implants in surrounding features, such as the chin, in order to boost surrounding features. With chin implant surgery, it can minimize the perceived size of the nose and provide a balance to a patient's facial features.
- Our chin implant and augmentations are very customizable to the individual patient's needs and goals; they come in different shapes and sizes. Square jaw implants and cleft chin implants are also available. From a subtle and effective look to a procedure where a bit more character is desired, our New York chin specialists can make it happen!
Results can certainly vary, but it mostly depends on how accurate your vision is. Make sure you have examples and a clear goal in mind before the procedure.
Note that the best candidates should be at least 20 years old to ensure that the process of bone aging has been completed.

This delicious holiday Trappist Ale was brewed with a little help and inspiration from the White Street Taproom Crew! They wanted a beer that was designed to connect to the community by making a holiday ale designed to be shared with close friends and loved ones. We took the community connection one step further by using malts that were sourced from Epiphany Malts, a local maltster out of Durham. The result is a rich Trappist Ale full of wintertime flavors!
Caramel, toffee, fig, dates, raisins, clove, and nutmeg flavors all swirl together in the glass. The aromas of fruit and spice derived from our Trappist yeast strain remind you of those desserts after the holiday meal that you savor while enjoying the company of family. Come by the taproom, grab a glass, and be sure to tell the Crew what you think of their new brew-you'll feel right at home.

Quick and easy chocolate caramel slice, AKA millionaire's shortbread. It's dairy and gluten free with a fruit and nut base, a cashew caramel middle and chocolate topping. This can be made in about 10 minutes.
You can use any chocolate you like for the topping. I usually use a very dark 85% cocoa solids chocolate. If you want to make your own raw chocolate topping mix together 1/3 cacao powder with 1/3 fat and 1/3 sweetener. You can use coconut oil or cacao butter for the fat. For the sweetener anything runny such as maple syrup, date syrup, coconut nectar or honey work well. All of these sweeteners also work well for the caramel and each give a slightly different taste. Let me know how you get on in the comments.
The figs in the base can be replaced by other dried fruit such as dates if you prefer. I like to use figs as the fig seeds when blended give a crispy texture that works well with the smooth caramel and sharp chocolate.
If you want to cut the chocolate caramel into clean sharp squares take it out of the fridge half an hour before cutting. As you can see from my photos I didn't do this so most of the chocolate topping is roughly cracked, but that's how I like it.
Chocolate Caramel Slice Recipe
- Total time: 10m
- Yield: 12 portions
- Calories: 160 cal
- Figs, 150g / 1 cup
- Walnuts, 150g / 1½ cups
- Cashews, 150g / 1 cup
- Creamed coconut / oil, 4 tbsp
- Maple syrup, 4 tbsp. Any runny sweetener would do but you may need to adjust the quantity by taste.
- Vanilla, 1 tsp extract or the seeds from ½ a pod
- Chocolate, 100g of your favourite. See intro for making a raw chocolate topping.
How to make
- Blend together the walnuts and figs until they are combined into a ball.
- Spread this out on a tray that's about 10″ by 10″.
- Melt the creamed coconut / oil.
- Add this melted coconut with all the other caramel ingredients to a blender and whizz until a smooth caramel is formed. If it becomes too thick to blend just add some hot water, 1 tbsp at a time until you can blend it smooth.
- Melt the chocolate and spread over the top.
- Store in the fridge and it will last for 3-4 days in theory, but mine is always eaten way before then.

Have you ever gotten to the bottom of a craft beer and been left wondering what happened? The taste, carbonation and — most importantly — temperature are nothing like the beginning of the experience.
Well, the Piscotty brothers sure have, and they have come up with a solution they are showing off on a new Kickstarter campaign. Nick and Stephen Piscotty headline a three man team working to produce, market and sell the new product aimed at keeping your beer tasty.
"The Beer Bit" is a chilled piece of metal that adheres to the bottom a pint glass using magnetic coasters and keeps you craft beer at its ideal temperature. The bits keep the beer at the right temperature while leaving enough room in the glass for a 12 ounce beer plus the head.
Different beers are best enjoyed at different temperatures, the Kickstarter says, so they have developed different beer bits for different style brews.
If you are interested in backing the product, you can find out more here. The page says they anticipate shipping out the first of their product in February of 2017, so it could make a late Christmas present for the beer drinker in your life.
Stephen Piscotty holds a degree in atmosphere and energy engineering from Stanford, where he also dabbled in hitting Pac 12 fastballs. He was drafted by the Cardinals in the first round of the 2012 draft, before returning to Stanford to complete his degree.
His brother Nick was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the 32nd round out of high school, but turned the Royals down in favor of Duke University.
He only played one season before graduating a few years later with a Bachelors degree in Economics with a concentration in finance, according to his LinkedIn page.

um... yippee?!
I hear Donald Trump is demanding to see his death certificate.
Damn it, that's not funny, but it made me laugh. I'm momentarily ashamed of myself. lol
Sorry man, I tried to positive rep this and my stupid computer hiccuped and it neg repped at the last second. My bad bro, was meant to be a pos.
O frabjous day
It's great, if true, in the sense that Osama is confirmed dead. But that's it. I don't want to hear this as justification for more war mongering.
No problem
FWIW, I ripped off the joke from somewhere else, but I wanted to be the first to get it here. I could only be so clever.
The presidents dead?.....Oh...."Osama".....my bad.
I have a hard time believing it. If you do a quick google search for "Osama Bin Laden Dead" you see articles from 2005 to 2009 saying the same thing in different regards. Including one that claims he has been dead for 7 years. I will wait for an official announcement before getting too excited about it.
If so, then good riddance.
I think the president will be coming on shortly to announce it. How cool would it be if a guy like that one crazy sword wielding dude killed him?
News are saying he has been dead for a week and the DNA evidence confirmed it was him.
Huge notch on Obama's belt for his re-election efforts. I wonder how happy Bush is right now? Every American should be extemely proud and happy.
He was killed in a mansion in Pakistan? Wow thanks for your help Pakistan! Idiots.
Maybe, but every major news organization is reporting on it and apparently Obama is going to talk about it. If it's a hoax, this will have major, major backfire.
Now who heads the CIA's Arab division? Is Anwar Al-Awlaki really up to the task?
My guess is this guy had something to do with it:
Too bad it wasn't this guy.
Boy, a massive crowd is gathering in front of the White House in celebration. It's goosebump inducing.
Well said. This is what I was thinking (just made it my facebook status). How did you like Obama's pimp walk away from the camera after the speech? I love being an American.
"God Bless America
land that I love,
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a Light from Above."
Hopefully they party in NYC, the Pentagon, and a lonely Pennsylvania field all night long.

Tyga Fakes Getting Sick In Court After Being Asked About His Spending Habits
According to TMZ, Tyga went into serious medical distress mode Tuesday morning when the lawyer for a jeweler started asking him questions about how much he spends on girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
Jason of Beverly Hills hauled Tyga into a hearing to prove that he has enough money to satisfy a $200k judgment for a fancy chain and timepiece.
Tyga told Jason's lawyer, Boris Treyzon, about his income and what he owns. But when Treyzon started asking Tyga about the various gifts he's given Kylie, he became quickly and surprisingly sick.
Tyga said he started feeling extremely ill, lost memory and became confused, telling the lawyer he just couldn't go on.
The hearing has been rescheduled for November 1st. Kylie is scheduled to come in for a separate interview.

Washington Post Staff Writer

Sprint Nextel was wrong to charge customers penalty fees of $73 million for early termination of cellphone contracts, a California court ruled yesterday, offering encouragement to customers of other companies who have filed similar suits around the nation.
Sprint must pay $18.3 million in cash to users who paid early-termination fees; another $54.8 million must be credited to users who were charged but didn't pay the fees, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Bonnie Sabraw said in her decision, which is open to comment until Aug. 5, when the final ruling will be made.
The penalties are not legal under California law, the judge said. They are not rates, as argued by the carriers, which allows consumers to sue in state courts.
Although the decision only affects California customers, Sprint, T-Mobile and other wireless carriers are trying to protect themselves from suits there and in other states by lobbying the Federal Communications Commission to adopt new federal rules governing such penalties, removing them from state jurisdiction.
"This gives great momentum to cases in other states," said Pamela Gilbert, a Washington attorney representing the California plaintiffs. "And if the FCC turns around now and gives the companies the get-out-of-court-free card, it means the FCC is going to be condoning what was past illegal behavior and letting the companies off the hook for illegal behavior."
Sprint said the decision underscores the need for a national policy on early termination fees. Other carriers, including Verizon, also have lobbied the FCC for such a policy.
"A national regulatory framework protects customers from a confusing patchwork of state regulations," said Matthew Sullivan, a spokesman for Sprint. He said the company hasn't determined whether it will fight the decision, saying it is focused on responding to the proposed rule.
This month Verizon Wireless settled its early-termination lawsuits for $21 million. The company, which is a joint venture between Verizon Communications and Britain's Vodafone Group, said the litigation was a distraction for the company.
Carriers charge $150 to $200 in early-termination fees on two-year contracts, a tactic consumer groups say is used to lock in subscribers so they can't move to competitors. Those contract terms are often applied even when a subscriber moves to a region where the carrier doesn't offer service. And in the case of Sprint, a family with four phone lines can be charged as much as $700 for leaving a family plan early, according to the suit.
The carriers argue that the fees are necessary to make up for the costs they incur offering lower prices on phones and devices.
The wireless trade group CTIA has filed a petition asking the FCC to determine that the fees are really rates so that the agency can cement its authority over them. Joe Walls, a spokesman for the CTIA, said the California decision wouldn't necessarily prevent the FCC from doing so.

HHS Earmarks $1B for Healthcare Jobs, Innovation
The healthcare industry got a $1 billion shot in the arm Monday when the Department of Health and Human Services announced a competition to spark "innovative healthcare delivery models." Preference will be given "to projects that rapidly hire, train and deploy healthcare workers."
Most of the department heavyweights were on hand for the afternoon press conference: Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Don Berwick, MD, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and Richard Gilfillan, MD, acting director of the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation.
Sebelius said preference will be given to projects that provide for "rapid workforce deployment" and help "spark the economy" although HHS has not targeted the number of jobs it hopes to see created. She needled Congress for its failure to pass a comprehensive jobs bill, saying "This program will help us create the healthcare jobs we will need in the future to promote care coordination and improve health."
Healthcare remains a leading source of job creation in the overall economy. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, new healthcare jobs represent 22% of the more than 1.2 million non-farm jobs created in 2011.
The billion-dollar Health Care Innovation Challenge is a response to the many successful local healthcare projects that are helping to improve care and reduce healthcare costs, Sebelius said. "Public and private community organizations, including hospital, physicians, churches, and other groups, are developing innovative solutions to help improve our healthcare system. This competition will help them build on their success."

text: Coming from years on the original Blackberry, then some WinMo devices, back to Blackberry, and the last 4 years on WinMo, I finally broke down and decided, its time to check out an Android phone. Being on the AT&T network, options were very limited, until now. Gave up my Tilt2 for the Captivate and I am liking it, a lot. Picked it up this morning at my local Corp AT&T store for $149 and a new 2 yr deal. It is taking me some time to get used to it, but this thing is fast and responsive, gets better reception than my Tilt2 did in my house and is a pleasure to use so far. I must say, the Android OS blows the WinMo OS out of the water, even with my custom ROMs and HTC's magic. So far, very happy with my purchase.

Koch Institute investigators have been pioneers in the use of animal models to study the molecular basis underlying the genesis and progression of cancer and are at the forefront of using animal modeling to address cancer detection and treatment. The Histology Core Facility has an outstanding histotechnology staff that provides cutting-edge histological expertise to all cancer researchers utilizing in vivo models. This expertise includes all aspects of histological analysis, from processing and sectioning to specialized staining and pathologic examination of tissue samples. Investigator training, from slide preparation to analysis, is another core component of this Core's mission. In addition, the Center continues to benefit from intellectual insight provided by veterinary pathologist, Dr. Roderick Bronson, an internationally recognized expert in mouse pathology. Dr. Bronson has made invaluable contributions to the characterization of developmental and tumor phenotypes, and has trained numerous Kl students, fellows and staff in histopathology. This has fostered exchange of intellectual expertise between Core staff and Center member laboratories and has played a significant role in strengthening the integrative nature of the Kl research program. Centralizing histological analyses under the auspices of the shared Histology Core allows us to capitalize on economies of scale and thereby provide cancer researchers a comprehensive and robust range of services. Over the current funding period, there has been a significant increase in the demand for these services, reflecting the broadening use of animal models by Center members. The Histology Core has responded to this need by increasing staff size and acquiring new instrumentation, which have enabled significantly greater and more efficient sample throughput. Accordingly, Core output in the immediate past funding year was substantially increased in all service categories in comparison to the last competing renewal. Based on continually increasing demand, additional service enhancements are planned for the requested funding period, which will allow us to expand both the usage and the Core Facility offerings without affecting the turnaround time for services.

Leicester City chairman Mandaric pleads with fans to back manager SousaThursday, September 30th, 2010
Leicester City chairman Milan Mandaric has made an impassioned plea to the supporters not to turn on manager Paulo Sousa and his players.
Mandaric told the Mercury he likened the current situation to when City were relegated to League One for the first time in the club's history and his call for unity then was heard by the Blue Army.
Mandaric, below, urged supporters not to believe press speculation that Sousa is on borrowed time, but some fans think otherwise after Tuesday's defeat at Norwich – the team's third successive loss.
There were even reports on Tuesday that former City boss Martin O'Neill was being lined up as a successor, but Mandaric said Sousa had the full support of himself and City's new owners, Aiyawatt and Vichai Raksriaksorn.
"Things go wrong but we can't turn things upside down now, for God's sakes," said Mandaric. "We can't turn around now and say Paulo needs to go! Now is the time for us to show how strong we are together, how united we are behind our manager and give him a chance to get the results.
"I would like to remind everyone what happened two years ago when we had a horrible time going down. At that time I called on everyone to be united and energise ourselves, get behind the new manager and the team, and give him time to show what he could do.
"We had gone down but all the supporters gave undivided support to me, the manager and the team at that time. They didn't know anything about Nigel Pearson at that time, but at the end of the season we put smiles back on their faces.
"I am asking the same again. It is a difficult time, but it is time to be united and not to listen to speculation in some parts of the media. Get behind the manager and give him support. I believe in the manager and the team and we need to give them our support. It is as simple as that. As far as I am concerned I told him on behalf of the owners and myself there is tremendous support for him overall and we all have to pitch in and do the same."
Mandaric said Sousa was just as upset as the supporters following last Friday's 6-1 defeat at Portsmouth, but he urged the fans not to heap more pressure on the manager.
"He is not a happy man and the players are not happy, the supporters are not happy. All of us are not happy," said Mandaric. "But it was just a week ago that we played Portsmouth and we demonstrated our capability.
"Prior to that we beat Cardiff with a good performance. It was not too long ago and we shouldn't forget that, just because of one disastrous game.
"I have met with Paulo and he is unhappy. He has heard the rumours and he knows that it was a game that no one can be proud of, but you have to support the manager.
"What about me when we went down? I spent millions of pounds to turn us around to support the manager.
"I didn't leave the team down and I ask the supporters not to desert the team, let's be united. That is what you have to do in difficult times, and this is a difficult time."
"We are trying to find the winning formula and, while we are doing this, they need support. It is not easy. We have a really good owner and I have more desire to give support when the results are less successful.
"I will do everything I can to influence things one way or another so that we can turn things around, and give our supporters a winning club."
Mandaric may have sold the club to the Asia Football Investments consortium, but he feels he still has a vital role to play as chairman during a difficult period.
He also urged people not to listen to reports that he is about to take over at Portsmouth again.
"I do feel there is more importance on me to help Paulo," he said. "I am the chairman and I remain in the firing line. I never run away from that. I need to be there and I don't hide.
"I am going to stand behind Paulo and the players and I ask the supporters the same thing.
"The worst thing now would be to go against Paulo and take away his energy. We are all human and he needs support and the players need the support.
"This is the worst time, when you see the speculation from some people about his job, and the speculation about Portsmouth as well. You can't listen to those things.
"The facts are we are having difficulties at the moment, but we will come out of these difficulties.
"We have experienced them before but, unfortunately, that is football for you. We will sort things out, as we have always done before.
"Look at how many times this season we have had a clear penalty not given, or a goal disallowed, how many times we have been unlucky. But we can't dwell on that, we need to win the games."
Sousa ponders tactical switch in search for winning formulaThursday, September 30th, 2010
Under-pressure Leicester City boss Paulo Sousa looks likely to abandon the 4-3-3 system as he attempts to end the damaging losing streak which is jeopardising his future at the Walkers Stadium.
City's 4-3 defeat at Norwich on Tuesday night was their sixth defeat in nine games and leaves them propping up the Championship.
Now Sousa, who is also being linked with a move to Greek club AEK Athens, knows that he has to come up with a winning formula against Scunthorpe on Saturday to avoid incurring the further wrath of an increasingly impatient Blue Army.
City worked their way back into the Championship contest at Carrow Road by reverting to 4-4-2, before striker Matty Fryatt's dismissal checked the comeback.
Sousa said: "Every time we change to 4-4-2 with two strikers down the middle, it has been a change in a positive way and we will explore that more, and probably, from the beginning."
With Fryatt expected to serve a three-match ban for violent conduct, Martyn Waghorn looks favourite to partner Steve Howard in attack against the Iron.
However, Sousa knows his major concerns revolve around a back-line which has conceded 22 goals in nine league games.
And he said it is vital for the team to put up a rigorous case for their defence in Saturday's clash at the Walkers Stadium.
He said: "We keep working on that, but to change it we need two or three games with a clean sheet to encourage our players and to avoid the decisions we are making at times. It is something we want to change and something we work on every day to change, but it is not easy.
"Confidence comes with wins and with clean sheets, especially for defenders and goalkeepers. It is something we want but we have the quality and want to push up front sometimes and that means we are exposed."
Sousa has also admitted his frustration at being unable to strengthen a defence which is now having to cope with the additional loss of Miguel Vitor, who is also serving a ban for his dismissal in last week's heavy defeat at Portsmouth.
Sousa had a bid for Swansea defender Ashley Williams turned down in late August, while a mid-September move to bring in Kamil Zayatte on a loan deal from Hull, with a view to a permanent deal, foundered in its final stages.
There were suggestions that Zayatte had problems with his medical, but Hull boss and former City chief Nigel Pearson said the reason the deal fell through was "administrative, technical and financial in relation to emergency loan regulations."
The City boss said the search for new recruits is continuing, but added: "It is something we wanted to do from the beginning, but the market has not been good for us.
"When we come close to concluding deals with certain players we always have an issue and it doesn't allow us to settle the deal. We keep going because we want to add more quality."
The Portuguese sports newspaper, A Bola, claims that Sousa is a target for AEK Athens, whose head coach Dujan Bajevic resigned earlier this week.
Defender Lamey concedes Leicester City players must cut out silly errorsThursday, September 30th, 2010
Michael Lamey has conceded that Leicester City's beleaguered defence will have to work harder to eradicate the errors which are blighting their Championship season.
City have conceded 22 goals in nine league games, with 12 coming in the past three defeats against QPR, Portsmouth and Norwich.
"We must work harder in our defending. The spirit is there, but every time we score, the opposition then get a goal," said the 30-year-old Dutchman, preferred to Robbie Neilson at right back for the 4-3 loss at Carrow Road on Tuesday.
"Things are not so good and we are last in the table and we've given away three goals on the counter against Norwich, which made it difficult."
Lamey, who joined City in the summer after a spell with German club Arminia Bielefeld, said manager Paulo Sousa spoke after the Norwich loss about a team which is working hard, but does not have luck on its side.
"Our luck is out but we don't need to keep conceding goals," said Lamey. "We are also making mistakes and we have to work hard to stop making them. We are playing better football than our opponents but we are giving them easy goals.
"When we went 1-0 up against Norwich we should have been making it 2-0, but instead we were 3-1 down."
Lamey described his own performance against Norwich as "average", but was pleased to win a second League start after impressing during a trial spell at the Walkers Stadium.
He also knows all about being in a relegation dogfight, as Arminia were dumped out of the top flight of the Bundesliga during his first season at the club.
The former PSV Eindhoven man left Arminia at the end of last season after they failed to gain promotion back to the top flight
"We have to focus on every aspect of the game and stick together and do our best to get out of this situation.
"Of course, we are under a bit of pressure but we have to forget about it," he added.« Previous Entries
