The OP employs a dual strategy for social implementation, that is, general measures that provide quotas for people with special needs and/or women, as well as measures that include action categories with special provisions for vulnerable groups.
The connection between NAPIn (National Action Plan for Inclusion) and OPIS is summarized below:
Aim 1.1: In political measures referring to employment, the connection involves intervention for the benefit of special minority groups and the unemployed in regions or sectors of high unemployment rate, and it promotes employment.
Aim 1.2: In the access to resources, rights, goods and services, the connection lies mainly in measures relating to Education, Health and Welfare.
Aim 2: Prevention of the danger of isolation, by confronting the digital gap and electronic exclusion, assisting people with special needs and preventing their marginalization, and reorganize rural areas and counteract their geographic isolation. By confronting the digital gap the OP is considered indirectly involved.
However, there is total involvement in the measures concerning vulnerable groups' universal access to the OP and several of its sections, like those aiming at the support/growth of enterprise in mountainous, rural and less developed areas of the Greek territory.
Aim 3: There is no clear reference in the OP for specific vulnerable groups except for people with special needs and the unemployed of advanced age. Recognition of connection stems from the reference to 'vulnerable groups'.
Aim 4: The mobilization of all bodies and agents, improvements in the operation of Public Administration, especially those concerning the Greek Manpower Employment Organisation (OAED), resulting from the OPIS by way of eGovernment show a direct connection.

I disagree with many of the past reviews I read before running this race. I thought the spectators were good, considering the majority of the race is on a base. If you need tons of spectators you may want to stick to Chicago, NY, etc. I thought the course was fairly easy, with only a few small hills mixed in. I thought the expo was above average, unlike some reviewers in the past. This was my tenth marathon and one of the better ones I have race. I had a PR of 3:08 on this course.
This was my fouth time running the Air Force Marathon, and it keeps getting better. This was the first year that all of the runs, 5K, 10K, Half and Full sold out. The marathon starts and finishes at the Museum of the US AIR FORCE. The start had a fly-over by a B-52 bomber, and during the run also, as well as a replica of the Wright Flyer built by the Wright Brothers. The course is mostly on the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, but you have fantastic support from base personnel, and themed aid stations as well as bands. For 2 miles from before mile 9 past 10, the course goes out into the community of Fair Born, and the residents show great support, which helps a lot. Mostly a flat course, though there are some hills, the biggest being at mile 1. At the finish you are presented a very heavy medal by a senior Air Force officer.
Everything about the race was good to great. The course, the volunteers, and the event as a whole were very sharp. The parking was ridiculously stupid. I was warned at the expo to get to the start 90 minutes or more early. I was there 90 minutes early and waited in line to park for the entire time. I ran to the start line and got there 3 mins after the gun and had to fight through all of the 10K walkers. I would return if they addressed the parking issue. The planes were awesome.
I recently completed the 2010 USAF Marathon and really enjoyed it. The medals are really nice, and having them presented to you by active military staff was a nice touch. I did not finish as well as I had hoped, but that had nothing to do with the race. My only complaint would be the LONG walk to and from the parking area to the race start/finish. Before the start it was no problem, but after the race it was not what I needed. I always make it a point to get out and stretch the legs after a race, but not right after the race on the walk back to the car. Overall, I would definitely recommend this race.
This was a great first marathon for me. It was well organized and a lot of fun. Thanks for the tremendous effort! I was also thrilled to meet Bill Rodgers, Amby Burfoot, and the other guest speakers.
As always, another hot and muggy marathon. I think quality was given up for quantity. The expo: you could not get to the vendors without losing your place in line to pick up your packet. Suggestion: move the packet to the gym floor and leave room to get to the vendors . On the course: the usual drums of water and sponges were not out; and the water on the course was hot - not room temperature, but hot. I'm sure some things were missed because of the large crowds. I've finished all of the marathons except the first year, when I did not run it. I know it's a top-notch race and was always well organized. I'll be back. Thanks to all of the volunteers and those men and women who serve our country.
I have to agree with others about the parking and getting on and off of the base. Between packet pickup the day before and the morning of the race, I would say that parking was dreadful. I arrived at the recommended 1 1/2 hours before the start of my race and it still took an hour to park - not to mention at the end I was so tired that trying to walk another 2 miles to the car was crummy. I know you need to cool down, but still. Although there weren't many spectators, those who did come out and at mile 10 were WONDERFUL!!!! It was very cheery. Overall, this was a nice marathon, with plenty of post-race food, and the medal was fantastic. Fly-overs were sweet too.
I tend to like smaller marathons because there are no crowds, but from the start, this run didn't have the feel of being overcrowded. It took about 45 seconds from the gun to hit the start line and from there on, you could run your pace and not feel too boxed in. The course is mostly flat and often pretty. The on-base sections (almost the whole course) are covered with only a few spectators from the folks who live on base (great support though) and the off-base section (mile 8-10) is in Fairborn and those guys were awesome. Aid stations came along often. The half and the full combine in the low 20s and it got a little crowded then, but not too bad. The expo could probably be a little better organized. The 5K was run on Friday afternoon at the same place as the expo and it took over an hour to go 2 miles on Col Glenn Hwy (near the Nutter Center). It looked like there were other roads in to the Nutter Center, but they either weren't being used or were blocked off. Parking on base the day of the marathon was a little congested as well, which is why I like smaller marathons. All said, this is one of the best "big" marathons I've run.
This was my first marathon. The course was well laid- out with various areas in the last 1/2 that were shaded. The full runs through a nearby town, Fairborn, where you feel like a rockstar! The whole town seemed to line the streets and every kid wanted to give you a high-five. There was not much more support along the way other than the frequent and well-staffed water stations. There were at least 3 offering fruit, numerous ones with gel, and plenty of medical tents as well. The course itself had a strong hill at mile 2, another overpass at around mile 8 and another at mile 21. They were enough to slow your pace, but walking was not required. Other areas of the course had rolling hills, just to make it interesting. The fly-overs at the start by the B-52 and F-16s were awesome as was the paratrooper with the American flag. Notes: 1. The traffic is bad. They have 3 entrances to get cars into the base and parked. There are just very many cars and not enough entrances. Give yourself PLENTY of time (at least 90 mins) to get parked and to the start line (which was close to a mile from our car). 2. Porta potties were at the start line but many people did not see these and used the few that were near the parking lot. Skip these lines and get to the 50 or so ones at the starting line. 3. Medal is huge, heavy and very cool. Even the lanyard was nice, and having an officer give it to you and congratulate you was a nice plus. 4. Volunteers at the water stations were top-notch. At the starting line? Not so much. Make sure to review the starting line map to know where gear check and potties are. 6. Finishing on a runway lined with planes was very cool. 5. The post-race party was nice, with plenty of places to sit. Pizza for the runners was good. Other food was available to purchase for the spectators. I would run this again!
As advised at the expo, I arrived near the base more than 90 minutes prior to the start but was stuck in traffic for over an hour. There was very little traffic control outside the base, and none that I saw on the base. We parked where we saw others parked, ran toward the general start area, checked bags , and were late for the start by 5 minutes. There were NO VOLUNTEERS that I saw to direct traffic or direct people towards the bag check and start line areas. This was not due to security reasons, as our IDs were never checked. FUBAR and SNAFU are acronyms that apply to Wright-Pat. My experience with parking was bad last year and worse this year. The rest of the race is ok, but there are plenty of other marathons that do a better job. I won't be back.

Jonathan Stark's Social Experiment With Collaborative Consumption
Sure, I majored in the sciences during college but you didn't have to be a scientist to participate in the social experiment, Jonathan's Card. What started as a local project amongst friends quickly blew up to become a national barometer of generosity and collective sharing.
The man behind Jonathan's Card is an mobile app developer, Jonathan Stark. As a way to explore how he could spur sharing of physical goods via digital currency, he made the picture of his Starbucks card available on the internet so anyone can get a free cup of coffee. You just had to download the barcode image onto your mobile phone and scan it during a purchase and voila, free coffee for you! But make sure you check the card's twitter account for updates on its balance before buying something. If you can afford several cups of venti caramel-mocha-triple-espresso-soy-milk-with-a-quarter-inch-to-spare latte or just feel generous, you can reload however much money you want to give onto the card. In fact, there isn't a limit to how much you can spend either (although you can't go below $0 in balance – there isn't an opportunity to raise the debt ceiling). To visualize the results and create a community of participants, he encouraged users to post information and pictures of their purchases and/or their donation on its Facebook wall as well as on twitter.
And Stark found several surprising results. Contrary to his expectations, the ratio of users to givers wasn't as skewed as he thought it would be. According to his interview with GOOD, about 50 percent of those who use it give back. Certainly it's not an indication that half of this country is altruistic do-gooders, but the experiment is a testiment that there are ample people who care about paying it forward. In fact, I scrolled through posts on Jonathan's Card's Facebook wall and I discovered that there are numberous stories of strangers doing the little bit that they can to help others in need. Whether it's buying coffee for the person standing behind you or paying for someone's parking fee, this experiment seems to work. Although the card's balance fluctuated more wildly as more people used the card – not unlike the stockmarket's recent past – it wouldn't remain at zero for very long. It's somewhat of a validation that generous people do exist and that such small acts of kindness could blossom into a wide-spread chain reaction.
Stark's proud experiment would have presumably gone on longer but Starbucks decided to end this little fun due to concerns about fraudulent activity. It seems like one bad apple ruined this experiment. But all is not lost: Many who were emotionally attached to the experiment spawned their own communal cards and Stark's legacy lives on. Seeing that the end of Jonathan's Card didn't completely destroy the spirit of generosity made me wonder if something else was brewing beneath the current social strata? Did Stark ignite a national phenomenon or had there been many unsung heroes who routinely practiced generosity?
I believe Stark had poignantly captured a growing culture within the "sharing economy". I don't think Jonathan's Card represents some capricious national mood but rather a microcosm of what is rapidly taking shape on the horizon. The movement is collaborative consumption, and as a driver of the sharing economy, it's is poised to disrupt the entire ownership marketplace. TIME magazine is calling collaborative consumtion, "one of the 10 ideas that will change the world."
What is collaborative consumption, exactly?
According to collaborativeconsumption.com, it is "sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping reinvented through network technologies." Do you have chainsaw just sitting in your garage? Or, does your condo have a spare bedroom that sees infrequent guests? Rent it out! It's about extending the value of something that is being used infrequently or just sitting idle to someone in need. For example, if someone needs to cut a twisted tree branch off but doesn't want to invest in a chainsaw just for that occasion, borrowing it from a neighbor would solve that dilemma. That person would save money that s/he could invest it elsewhere.
In the sharing economy, it's access vs. ownership. Rachel Botsman, the author of, What's Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption, says that access to skills and goods are more important than owning them. Up until recently, the market for renting was disjointed and fragmented; There wasn't an efficient platform for lenders and borrowers to find each other. Not only that, our social media technologies weren't mature enough to support such system. Building upon the successes of eBay and social media companies like Facebook and Twitter, we're now starting to see entrepreneurs tackling this space in earnest. From Freecycle and CouchSurfing (both free) to now, RelayRides, NeighborGoods, Airbnb, and TaskRabbit, more platforms are popping up that easily let anyone start a side-business monetizing un- or underused assets. This peer-to-peer retal market is currently a $26 billion market and the sharing economy is a $110 billion+ market, Botsman explains. The Twin Cities boasts several sharing enterprises like Yards to Garden, CoCo, and Hourcar.
Large companies who had dumped fuel into the hyper-consumerism lifestyle before the recession are adapting to the change in consumer behavior. Car companies such as BMW (DriveNow), Daimler (Car2Go), and Volkswagen (Quicar) have been testing out the car-sharing space – elbowing the Millennials who have flocked early to Zipcar. "People only use their cars about 8 percent of the day," says Lisa Gansky who wrote The Mesh: Why The Future of Business Is Sharing, "and the rest of that time – 92 percent of the day – someone else could be using them."
What will become of other big retailers who, pre-recession, demanded us to buy more? Umair Haque, the author of The New Capitalist Manifesto, says that the sharing platforms won't bankrupt these companies but the new lifestyle will probably eat away at the profit they would be making. For example, when I needed a desk last year but wanted a stylish one from Ikea, where did I go first? Craigslist. The desk itself was about $178 but I bought it (plus an Ikea chair!) from a young couple for $40. You bet I was ecstatic.
Besides being disenchanted by the housing bubble and banking crisis and doing the environment a favor, people are adopting a more collaborative lifestyle because it costs less and it's less wasteful. If you're cash-strapped, would you like to spend thousands of dollars on car maintenance? But more importantly, the bigger benefit is social: sharing creates meaningful connections and promotes communities. And the engine that runs collaborative consumption is trust.
Sharing wouldn't work without trust. And social networking tools have enabled us to develop friendships in real-time and share our lives and content that are meaningful to each of us. Those tools have also tore down barriers to forming new connections and increased transparency in our engagement. It's only now that we've started to take those online relationships offline. In a way, the act of sharing a physical object with another person reaffirms the trust in that relationship; Sharing is a way of spreading your own social capital with others – and it's the reason that Stark's social experiment works. Participants who share their monetary capital as well as their social capital find the experience of paying it forward meaningful. "We're trading basically less stuff for more experiences," explains Gansky.
As people continue to decouple self-worth from the amount of goods we have accumulated, the culture is creating a new kind of consumers who value meaning over stuff – because let's face it: when someone pulls the rug from under us and we lose everything, it's our relationships that we depend on most. And if companies wants to connect with the new consumer, the relationship would have to be based on authenticity, transparency, and community because trust is the new currency.
Since the phrase, "collaborative consumption" percolated down to the cultural masses, it has become somewhat of a buzzword. And the trend is not without some critics. Most of the pessimism come from those concerned about automating trust. Right now, there isn't a way to "carry" your reputation across platforms although something similar - Facebook Connects – already exists. With Airbnb recently dealing with vandalism and breach of safety, can we really reduce trust, which is inherently a human emotion, down to profiles and rating systems? What problems will we create when we start monetizing trust like TrustCloud is attempting?
Like Airbnb and Jonathan's Card, all it takes is one bad apple to ruin an entire system. In the case of Jonathan's Card, the hacker was Sam Odio, who wrote a script that diverted money from Stark's Starbucks account into another account for his own social experiment. Although the money ultimately would go to a charity, he broke the collective trust and outrage ensued within the community. As I scrolled down the Facebook wall and read the comments, it seemed that the participants were outraged because by diverting money away, Odio didn't honor the community's original intention for donating money – even if he meant to benefit a charity. It's ironic that social media technologies greatly increased transparency but simultaneously obscured it. Perhaps trust can't ever really be translated into algorithms.
Nevertheless, I think that collaborative consumption is a wonderful idea and hope that the sharing economy continues to grow. By strengthening communities through trust and transparency, we can take collective action and bring about sustainable change. It's something Good Work Group and I care a lot about. Ideally though, I hope we would still share without any monetary compensation. "Monetizing under-utilized assets" isn't exactly music to my ears, if you know what I mean. We share because we care and not because we need to commoditize sharing. So, how are you going to pay it forward today?
This is a version of a blog post I wrote for Good Work Group.

"Color is huge right now… Women don't want to be trading in the sea of sameness. They want their jewelry to be signature." - Eddie LeVian
With ever smaller budgets, a popular way women have been strategically updating their wardrobes is through accessories and color, making it this year's most important trend with greens and tangerine-orange colors leading the way (for Tangerine Tango, see our post here). Who can forget Angelina Jolie's 115 carat Lorraine Schwartz Columbian emerald drop earrings at the 2009 Oscars? Apparently those very earrings continue to inspire designers as we see them incorporate a wide variety of this color into their designs, from minty pastels to deco-inspired deep greens. Look for a range of greens in emerald-alternative stones, like opals, chalcedony, green agate, peridot, chrysoprase, jade, tsavorites, and malachite to update your look.
From top right, clockwise: Irene Neuwirth's Opal and Diamond Earrings, Kendra Scott's "Malachite" Christi Necklace, MCL's Titania Urban Deco Enamel Ring, Monique Pean's Opalina Waterfall Ring, Kendra Scott's Chalcedony Skylar Earrings, MCL's Titania Pave Cuff, and CrowdJeweler, KSPDesigns Chevron and Emerald danglers.

The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will begin a 60-day public comment period April 16 on the November 2000 Final Draft Remedial Investigation Report (RI) on the BNSF Fueling Facility in Havre.
The comment period will end June 14, 2001 at 5 p.m.
A public meeting will also be held on or before Thursday, May 24, 2001, The date and time of the meeting will be announced in the Havre Daily News as soon as word is received from DEQ.
The three-volumes, each about five inches thick, include information collected during field investigations conducted by the BNSF and reviewed by the DEQ over the last 12 years. It includes a DEQ review and comment of the Draft RI report, BNSF revisions to the Drift RI report in response to DEQ's comments, and resubmittal of the Final Draft RI report.
The volumes are available for public inspection at the Hill County Library and at the office of the Hill County Sanitarian, Clay Vincent in the Hill County Courthouse.
"The purpose of the report is to establish the nature and extent of contamination," said Doug Martin, project officer for the DEQ.
The report is one step in a process that will at last finalize DEQ's and BNSF's view of the extent and degree of contamination at the Havre site.
The concerns will be reviewed for inclusion into the final report, Martin said.
The findings in the report include a summery of ongoing investigations and testing that has been conducted in North Havre, on railroad property, and on the south side of railroad property along First Street and between Second Avenue and Fifth Avenue.
Martin cautioned during a previous interview, that while the RI will include everything the DEQ and BNSF has learned about the Havre site up to now, sites like Havre are "dynamic" or always changing.
"If we learn something new has happened after the RI is issued, we can still deal with that by adding an addendum to it," he said.
The finalized RI will signal the beginning of work on a feasibility study that looks at alternatives to cleanup. It will consider all aspects of cleanup including cost, danger to human health and environment, practicality, use of treatment and resource effectiveness.
Martin would not speculate about how long it might take to complete the RI process and the feasibility study saying only that it is part of the nature of Superfund sites that a lot of lawyers become involved and issues involving the state of Montana are also having to be considered.
The DEQ continues to collect and monitor water samples from wells in North Havre's residential area on a quarterly basis.
Product recovery wells also continue pumping diesel from the ground. So far about 174,366 gallons of diesel fuel have been recovered by BNSF and according to BNSF and DEQ reports. The recovered diesel is shipped off-site for recycling.
Estimates given by Martin at a public meeting in 1998 claim that there could be anywhere from 500,000 - 1.5 million gallons of fuel within the contaminated area.
For more information or for anyone wanting to comment in writing, contact Doug Martin at the Department of Environmental Quality, Remediation Division, P.O. Box 200901, Helena, 59620-0901.
Martin can also be contacted by e-mail at email@example.com.

It's graduation time and many of those college graduates are moving back in with their original roommates—their parents.
Bloomberg Businessweek is targeting twenty-somethings with a campaign encouraging those 'boomerang kids' to head-out on their own with the lure of a one-year subscription to the magazine. The "Bloomberg Businessweek Gets You Ahead" campaign website offers 42 e-gift cards that parents and friends can send to Gen Y-ers still living at home for an added kick in the behind—and a good laugh.Continue reading...

Mondelez International is about to find out if it can keep the advertising momentum going around its Oreo brand, arguably the most important individual product line for the global snack giant that was spun off from Kraft last year.
Oreo campaigns have scored one hit after another over the last several months, culminating, of course, with brand stewards' savvy in turning the Super Bowl blackout in New Orleans into an impromptu social-media marketing occasion.
Now, Mondelez is counting on its recently demonstrated advertising chops to create a great reception for its new campaign for Oreo, dubbed "Wonderfilled." It employs new positioning as well as TV commercials with original songs, print advertisements, a strong social media presence and pop-up choral mini-concerts in major US cities next week.
"It starts with a very simple premise, about how something as small as an Oreo cookie can bring about a positive change in perspective," said Janda Lukin, director of Oreo, according to Advertising Age.Continue reading...

Walmart is definitely getting at something with its new TV and digital advertising campaign, "The Real Walmart." By focusing on a simple and clear-eyed approach on the strengths of the company and how various huge constituencies—American consumers, Walmart workers, and the company's supply-chain participants—benefit, the world's largest retailer has a good shot at engendering more of the endemic kind of goodwill that has often escaped it.
The campaign relies on TV ads that feature real Walmart customers, another that tells the story of a 19-year old employee in Chicago, and a third that explains some of the super-efficiencies inherent in the retailer's system that may be very familiar to MBA students but whose understanding really hasn't trickled down to the rank-and-file American consumer.
"We have wanted to do this for a long time because we know that people trust Walmart even more when they understand the opportunities we provide our associates, who the customers are that shop with us and how we deliver low prices," Bill Simon, president and CEO of Walmart US, said in a press release.Continue reading...

"Perrier is the sexiest sparkling water you'll ever taste," according to the 150-year-old brand, which is trying to woo a younger audience with a sexy and sparkling online gaming experience, Perrier Secret Place.
"Secret Place is an immersive experience with a surprise at every turn, something that will be highly engaging for our target audience. And at a party that goes on for hours, we like to think of Perrier as the drink that can refresh like no other," according to a press release.
It's being marketed as the most high-profile, crazy party experience ever, dispensing clues through the eyes of 60 different characters along with a sweepstakes to win an invitation to one of five mega-parties taking place at Carnival in Rio, Ibiza in Spain, St. Tropez in France, Art Basel in Miami or New Year's Eve in Sydney, Australia.Continue reading...

The Old Spice Man is no longer on a horse, but he's got a few other creatures at his back.
The latest W+K effort by director Tom Kuntz for the P&G-owned brand promises unbridled (yet elegant) animal magnetism with The Wild Collection, a trio of manly new scents: Wolfthorn, Hawkridge and Foxcrest. The tagline, naturally, is "Answer the smell of the wild."
Watch the first two spots, featuring tuxedo-clad gents and their wolf and hawk companions, along with their social messaging, below. Update: According to Ad Age, the Wolfthorn spot will run during the Super Bowl — but only in Alaska, home to America's biggest wolf population.Continue reading...

Banking has become more consumer-friendly, particularly through sophisticated ATMs and mobile banking applications, but banks are still hampered by the stereotype that they are largely impersonal. TD Bank's new branding campaign, "Bank Human Again," makes the most of that deficiency.
New TV and web spots, supported by newspaper and digital media including a microsite, show a variety of consumers in what appears to be a cold, gray unwelcoming bank. Each consumer attempts a simple action only to be thwarted by a robotic-sounding voice that spouts bank policy.
In one spot, for example, a customer finds that the chain on the bank's pen is too short for him to write. When he asks about it, a disembodie voice says, "Here's the thing, Martin, banks can't have people taking their pens." TD Bank's answer: plenty of pens with no chains. Not to mention no rope lines, free coin-counting, and a focus on the little things that add up to the big things in customer service.
While a chained pen may seem insignificant, it's a remnant of banks' traditional (inflexible, impersonal) way of doing business. "The new marketing campaign viscerally communicates TD's attributes of unparalleled service and convenience, and our customer-first culture," stated the bank's Chief Marketing Officer Vinoo Vijay.Continue reading...

New York-based Gilt Groupe, the billion-dollar, members-only flash sales website, has just launched its first TV campaign. Two commercials (above and below) play up the Gilt brand of designer deal-shopping (in a cab, and in a gunfight that plays on Gilt's noon deal-posting) in time for holiday 2012. The Gilt campaign comes as Groupon, a rival deals website that relies on email to publicize a more general range of local daily deals, is struggling financially.Continue reading...

Thanksgiving is coming up. And while cans of vegetables will last for years, Del Monte decided that the timing couldn't be better to remind American consumers about the easiest way to elbow onto the Turkey Day table with side dishes worthy of the buxom bird: get them out of a can. Preferably a can of Del Monte vegetables.
So the brand is launching its most extensive and expensive ad campaign in a decade, under the tagline "Bursting with Life." The idea is to emphasize the freshness of Del Monte vegetables — an attribute that consumers don't naturally associate with foods that have been preserved in a cylinder of metal for weeks or months.
While they're not trying to make eating your veggies (let alone canned veggies) sexy, Del Monte hopes to claim a bigger share of mind stomach of a collective American household that at least is thinking more about vegetables these days, and the nutritional value of consuming them.Continue reading...

Black Pepper Horseradish Zabaglione
Makes about 3/4 cup. Recipe is from Viking Cooking School Outdoors and Carnevino Restaurant, Las Vegas.
3 large egg yolks
3 tbls. dry marsala wine, of drinkable quality
1 to 2 tbls. freshly grated horseradish, or to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1. Fill a double boiler or small saucepan half-full with water and set over meidum heat, bring to a simmer. In the top of a double boiler or a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks off the heat until creamy and smooth.
2. Whisk in the marsala, then place the mixture over the simmering water. The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.
3. Cook, whisking constantly and vigourously, over medium to medium-low heat until the mixture has doubled in size and registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the bowl from the heat when necessary to prevent scrambling the eggs. When the custard is ready, remove from the heat and whisk 30 seconds more.
4. Whisk in the horseradish and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or hold in a warm water bath or thermos until needed.

Oklahoma State Senate Communications Division State Capitol Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73105
For Immediate Release: May 4, 2010
Sen. Randy Brogdon
Senate Gives Final Approval to 'Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act'; Measure Authorizes Use of Private Attorneys to Fight Obamacare
In a move Sen. Randy Brogdon said was designed to protect the sovereignty of Oklahoma, the full Senate gave its approval Tuesday to House Joint Resolution 1054. Brogdon, R-Owasso, is the principal Senate author of the "Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act," which is authored by Rep. Mike Ritze, R-Broken Arrow, and Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, in the House. "This legislation does three things. It would prevent the federal government from forcing any Oklahoman to participate in any health care system. It would also prohibit the federal government from dictating how doctors choose to care for their patients," Brogdon said. "Finally, the measure authorizes the leaders of the Legislature to hire outside council to represent Oklahoma in a lawsuit to prevent Obamacare from being forced on our state." Debating for the measure, Brogdon pointed out numerous problems in countries that have socialized medicine, including unreasonable waiting periods for treatment, rationing of medical care and even refusal to cover some procedures and medications. "I believe Oklahomans should have the freedom to choose their own healthcare and insurance plans—and I believe if we have to go to court to fight for that right then we should. Unfortunately our Attorney General has refused to stand up for the people of this state and has declined to file suit," Brogdon said. "HJR 1054 authorizes our Pro Tempore and Speaker to hire outside counsel. The good news is that we already have outside attorneys that have volunteered to take this case pro bono." The measure was approved by the Senate, but the emergency clause, which would have allowed the bill to become law immediately upon the governor's signature, was not. If a vote to reconsider the emergency clause does not occur within three legislative days, the measure will proceed to the governor in its current form. If approved by the governor, it would become law 90 days after Sine Die (final) adjournment of the Legislature.
For more information, contact: Sen. Brogdon: (405) 521-5566

We searched the web's ticket sites high and low, but no one has any tickets available for this event.

SeatGeek's Deal Score is a rating that determines whether a ticket is a bargain or a ripoff. The higher the number, the better the deal. The worst options have the classification Awful Deal, with classifications proceeding all the way up to Amazing Deal (Deal Score of 88 or above). Amazing Deals are exceedingly rare--only 5% of events have one.
When buying tickets for any event on SeatGeek, focus on the tickets with the highest Deal Scores and you can be confident that you're getting a bargain.
For some events on SeatGeek, there are over 10,000 tickets available. It can be quite difficult to sort through all of those tickets and identify the best deals.
This is further complicated by the fact that, when buying tickets for live events, you cannot shop based on price alone. A courtside ticket for $50 is probably a better deal than a bleacher seat for $30, but this might not be apparent if you sorted by price.
Deal Score enables you to make apples-to-apples comparisons among tickets that are in different parts of an arena.
If considering going to one of several events, Deal Score, is also helpful for determining which event has the absolute best deal.

Posted Tuesday June 26, 2012 1:50 PM GMT
They never do things halfway, and Valentino's new Fall 2012 ad campaign is dripping the the trappings of luxury.
The Sicilian Palazzo Valguarnera-Gangi in Palermo was selected as the setting for the Italian fashion house's new spread, chosen for the ornate design and over-the-top accents.
Valentino brought in Deborah Turbeville to photograph the shoot, centered on Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli's fabulous red gown creations.
Chiuri told press, "Deborah captures her models emphasizing the values of the Valentino women exquisitely. They're sophisticated, romantic and dreamy, but with a dark modern edge."

Serbia will reduce administrative costs and sell money-losing companies, leaving thousands without work, to avoid cuts in public wages and pensions as it works to trim the budget gap and prevent a public debt crisis.
Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams were named as the top seeds at Wimbledon, the world's only grass-court tennis major.
Twenty years ago, in a debate over the war in Bosnia, Madeleine Albright, then the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, issued a challenge to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin Powell. Albright wanted the U.S. to confront an aggressive Serbia; Powell and the Pentagon were hesitant. Albright grew frustrated: "What's the point of having this superb military that you're always talking about if we can't use it?" Albright asked. Powell later said that he thought Albright was going to give him an aneurysm.
Etihad Airways PJSC, the third- biggest Gulf airline, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Serbian government that would lead to a possible tie-up with unprofitable JAT Airways AD.
Serbia's budget gap widened to 77 percent of the full-year target in the first five months, as the government continued to repay debts amid declining revenue collection.
Serbia will invite bids for Telekom Srbija AD, the state-owned phone company, in September, Blic newspaper reported, citing a person it didn't name.
Galenika AD, Serbia's state-owned drugmaker, said it received a compliance certificate for non- sterile products that allows their sales in the European Union.
Serbia will revise spending to limit the budget deficit to 4.7 percent of economic output this year as part of a broader program to balance austerity and growth, the Finance Ministry said.
Serbia's foreign-exchange reserves fell for a second month as the government repaid debt to domestic and foreign creditors, including the International Monetary Fund, the central bank said.
Serbia's central bank, which sold euros today to prop up the slumping dinar, urged the government to adopt an austerity program quickly to narrow the budget gap and regain the confidence of investors.

Black Widow almost ready for thrills
Walt Banachoski, a "setter" from Evan City, works on the new Black Widow ride at Kennywood. The ride is set to open May 17.
Share with others:
For those Kennywood Park aficionados who have grown weary of the venerable Thunderbolt or the gut-wrenching hyper-coaster Phantom's Revenge, the Black Widow is waiting to inject her venom into your innards.
But this brand new ride won't be spinning its web around your helpless body -- at 60 mph and at a height of 146 feet, no less -- until the third week of May, at the earliest. The park is scheduled to open for the season on May 5.
"We advise guests to time their rides appropriately," said Jeff Filicko, a spokesman for the park -- i.e., don't have any of the park's fabled french fries too soon before strapping yourself into this thing.
Built by the Italian company Zamperla, it replaces Pittfall, the park's tallest ride at 251 feet, which was sold earlier this year. Forty riders will be strapped into individual seats, to swing back and forth like a pendulum while at the same time being rotated counterclockwise. Peak height: 146 feet off the ground, at a 120-degree angle from the center, while moving 68 mph, providing a feeling of weightlessness.
As we said, save the french fries for afterwards.
Kennywood riders must be at least 52 inches tall to take the ride, which will be in Lost Kennywood, near the boarding station for Phantom's Revenge.
Other new features at the park include a new barbecue stand and some other changes, but for now, no details are forthcoming.

I used Vogue 8670 and made some alterations. I shorten the sleeves and the body to put a heart printed jersey at the bottom. Added a lined hoodie, a kangaroo pocket and a zipper. Also sew 2 ribbons on each side because there was no zipper long enough at my fabric store.
Sorry for bad quality pictures.

Historically, the company has been a leader in advanced glass manufacturing and design. The company's works were first distinguished by its realization of artistic stained-glass windows, many of which are today still functional elements and ornamental features of churches and cathedrals, among them the Duomo of Milan and the Cathedral of Brasilia. By using glass, Ponti realized what an enormous potential this material could offer in the in the making of furnishing complements for interiors, and he started to design and produce furniture, lamps and objects with glass as the main distinguishing feature. Soon a new collection was ready to be marketed, and his new design concept was being used as a complement to the interior decoration of many houses that he personally designed. Over the years, FontanaArte has had many contributors to its designs, including Pietro Chiesa, Gae Aulenti, Pierluigi Cerri, Piero Castiglioni, Vico Magistretti, Vittorio Gregotti, Ettore Sottsass, Umberto Riva, Alvaro Siza and Renzo Piano.

Although there is nothing wrong with the restaurants on the list, I can think of several far better ones in the city of Waukesha. I can`t help but wonder how these restaurants made the list

Where is La Estacion? Eric's Porterhouse? Dave's Family Restaurant?
10:27 am on Saturday, February 23, 2013
La Estacion is on Grand Ave.........Eric's is on Wisconsin Ave.......... Dave's is on Broadway..... Hope this help's.
Mr Lundt
10:43 am on Saturday, February 23, 2013
Tim---I agree
Don't get me wrong I love the occasional gut bomb from the grotto but that does not make them an overall number ONE?
I am glad to see only one chain. Nothing is more embarrassing for a community when they do stuff like voting Red Lobster as the best seafood restaurant. (or Famous Daves as the Best BBQ)
That is like voting for who has the best catsup for a fillet Mignon.
3:10 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
I'm glad that Culvers on Sunset isn't on the list. Cause everytime I go and eat there. I end up with RED MEAT!
Aaron Perry
8:38 pm on Sunday, February 24, 2013
I find YELP hard to trust sometimes. For my money I love La Estacion, People's Park, Fuzzys, and Eric's Porter Haus. Good food!
11:21 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
Timothy is right.. there are a lot more restaurants that are better than those on the list. What about Key Westconsin? Michael's on Sunset? I am not impressed with People's Park even tho everyone raves about the place..
11:28 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
Machine Shed? Really? Waukesha is severely lacking in GOOD, family friendly restaurants with some variety! Sometimes you want something besides heavy, greasy foods with no spice or flavor.

Never had a bad dish from Christina's. Ever.
Laura Bierdemann
3:27 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
As for Machine Shed and Famous Daves,I don't consider any chain retaurant local. Golden Gate is rated in the top 10 of the US - I am glad it made the list. I haven't been to 2 of the ones on the list, but I think they deserve to be there. Everybody will have a different opinion when it come to food though.
5:12 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Jimmy Grotto's is good, but #1? The inside of the restaurant is GROSS! Im afraid they haven't cleaned the place in years. I am afraid to eat there. It might have foreign matter as an ingredient. I bet the health inspectors would have a field day in there.
Also, their are several great restaurants in Waukesha better then what is in this list.
6:35 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Chain restaurants should not qualify and I agree with Grottos, Fuzzys and Golden Gate, but where is Eric's and here is a new one Mia's

Fashion Inspiration From Film- Miu Miu Fall 2011 Channels Hitchcock
A little something I noticed…
While many designers past & present have taken inspiration from the seminal films of Alfred Hitchcock including Alexander McQueen and his blockbuster tribute to Tippi Hedren in 'The Birds' for Fall 2005, one of us was thrilled to catch Miuccia Prada's probable inspirations for Fall 2011 in another Hitchcock film, 'Shadow of a Doubt.'
Her wonderous ode to 40′s on-screen broad-shouldered glamour was quite evident on the runway for Fall and quite evocative of Teresa Wright's confused yet nevertheless put-together character in the film.
>> MORE: Miu Miu and Fashion Shows
Besides the refined silhouette's and the natural, subdued color-ways, one of the most stand-out got-you moments came when we noticed Wright wearing two swallow pins that are dead-ringers for Miuccia's sequined swallow appliqued adornments throughout her hit collection.
Call it a true welcomed "return to old Hollywood glamour" if you will, as we ourselves find that trite saying fitting this time around.– Naveed Hussain

Jets' Tebow denies he told Rex he wouldn't play wildcat vs. Chargers
- Posted: 5:05 PM, December 26, 2012
Paul J. Bereswill
Tim Tebow denied that he ever told Jets coach Rex Ryan he would not play in the wildcat last week.
The Jets quarterback met with reporters Wednesday for the first time since the story broke Sunday that in frustration last week the told Ryan he no longer wanted to be used in the wildcat.
"I didn't tell them [that]," Tebow said. "I went in there last Tuesday and had a man-to-man conversation with coach Ryan. The conversation was great. I simply asked to get an opportunity to play quarterback. That was my passion. I did tell them I was frustrated with the wildcat and the success we were having, some of the stuff we were doing. I was definitely disappointed and frustrated. I let him know that, the same I did Wednesday to y'all."
Tebow said he would never refuse to do something for the team.
"I never said, 'hey I don't want to do anything or I won't do anything.' That wasn't the talk at all," Tebow said. "[Ryan] knows that and everybody on this team knows that I would never not do something if I was asked. I think that's what's disappointing in the whole situation, people saying 'oh you quit.' That was not it at all. It was just me asking to get an opportunity to get a position I love, which is quarterback. It wasn't me asking out of anything."
Tebow said he went to Ryan on Friday to let him know he would do anything he was asked. He said what has bothered him the most is how he has been portrayed as a selfish player and how his character has been called into question.
"I think when people are talking about how you play football or how much that's one thing," Tebow said. "That really doesn't bother me. I think the one thing that has been disappointing these last few days and frustrating is the people saying, 'oh, you quit on your team' or 'you're not a good teammate.' I think that's disappointing. I take a lot of pride in you ask the people I've played with, the people around me and they know I'll do anything for my teammates. I'll go out there and play my heart out, be the first one to practice, the last one to leave, do whatever I can for my teammates.
"For people not to know the situation and go off something and then start to bash your character and say you're phony or you're fake or you're a hypocrite. I think that's what's disappointing and frustrating because it's a football game. That's one thing if you're good or bad at football but your character and your integrity, that's who you are as a man and I think that's a lot more important. I think that's what's disappointing for me and frustrating. I take that a lot more seriously than I'll ever take a football game."

So, it's been incredibly difficult to get the Hackerspace Scanner off the ground, even with all the help here. And because I have a demanding (but awesome) day job, it's been hard for me to get in the right mindset every night when I get home.
This thread is where I will document what I'm doing and what problems I'm facing getting my CNC Router into production.
My biggest issue at this point is regenerating all the artwork in a way that makes sense. It's one thing to offer a package of Open Hardware artwork suitable for one person to copy. It's another thing to go into production yourself - the quantities change everything.
My task today/tonight is the same it's been for the last three weekends: hack the artwork into shape. Right now, the art is 1 sheet per scanner. However, due to the fact that most of these parts are small and irregularly shaped, that is unlikely to be the most efficient way to make them. Most likely, it will be best to tile them and cut, say, twenty parts per sheet rather than one scanner per sheet. So by tomorrow I will report back on my tilings. I think I'm going to shoot for 10 scanner kits per week; 10x quantities are high enough that I should be able to optimize things in an interesting way, and 10 sheets of ply are about as many as I can fit/carry in my truck before I start hurting it and myself.

He is (slowly but surely) working on a status and distribution book for the birds of the Lake Tahoe basin, but his interests span all taxa: he has authored papers on chipmunks, butterflies, dragonflies, tiger beetles, and his own discovery of the Tahoe basin's second species of salamander. Will received his Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology from the University of Nevada, Reno, studying bird communities in Sierra Nevada aspen habitats. He's never not birding, but he also attempts to squeeze in backcountry skiing, climbing, sea-kayaking, ultimate frisbee, and the occasional gig with various musical projects.
