Chongwe River House
Chongwe River House - Your Private Home in the Lower Zambezi
Zambia's Lower Zambezi is renowned throughout Africa for its magnificent herds of wild elephant, exceptional predator viewing and of course the Zambezi River. It's also home to one of the continent's most spectacular and unique private homes. Chongwe River House sleeps eight in four spacious en-suite bedrooms, making an ideal safari base for a family or a group of friends wanting a private safari. It stands on the banks of the magical Chongwe River, close to the Zambezi, and with a sensational view of the dramatic mountainous escarpment beyond. Many animals come to the Chongwe River to drink and from the deck the game viewing can be as good as any safari activity. The property comes fully staffed with a guide, house manager and private chef – all of whom will tailor your private safari. The four bedroom house has been built around a frame of wild wood with walls following the natural lines of the branches. All the furniture in the sitting room has been carved from a single fallen winterthorn tree and colored pebbles from the river decorate the ceilings. The bedrooms all have king sized plus beds under waves of netting. From each bed there is a stunning view of the bush or the escarpment. The bathrooms have waterfall showers and exquisite basins carved from wood and white marble by the Zambian artist Eddie Mumba. From your outside baths you can lie and gaze out across the bush. Sitting on the deck, under a huge winterthorn tree and next to the large pool, your view across the Zambezi escarpment is magnificent. In the foreground the Chongwe River, a magnet to wildlife, passes by. As guests at the house, private vehicles, guides, canoes, a boat and an armed scout for walking safaris are all available at your disposal. All activities can be tailored to your individual requirements. Many guests are happy to spend the day relaxing on the deck. The chances are you will see elephant wandering around the grounds or crossing the river. Impala, kudu and many other species come to the water to drink. If you sit long enough, all of Africa will come to you.

Really Yummy!
Was just cruising through VitaCost looking for some new and interesting foods to try and found these. We loved them! Nice and spicy yet still tasty. Will buy again and try some other Jyoti products also.

Just not very exciting.
Somewhat spicy, but at the same time bland & boring. Will not be buying again.

Living with any chronic illness can be difficult, and it's normal to feel angry, depressed or discouraged at times. Progressive supranuclear palsy presents special problems because it can cause changes in your brain that make you feel anxious or laugh or cry for no reason. Progressive supranuclear palsy can also become extremely frustrating as walking, talking and even eating become more difficult.
The good news is that there are steps you can take to manage the stress of living with progressive supranuclear palsy. Consider these suggestions:
Most importantly, try to talk frankly about your feelings and concerns. Repressed feelings can be harmful to your immediate well-being and long-term health. If necessary, discuss your problems with your doctor or counselor.
Caring for someone with progressive supranuclear palsy can be difficult physically and emotionally for a caregiver. It's not easy to juggle tasks as you try to adapt to the constantly fluctuating moods and physical needs that accompany this condition. Remember that the moods and physical capabilities of someone with progressive supranuclear palsy — such as walking, writing and eating — may change from hour to hour and are not under their conscious control. Nagging or shouting usually just makes matters worse. Be prepared to take advantage of the "good" periods, and use this time to get out, take a shower or relax in some other way. Taking care of yourself helps both of you.

King's in the News
The 74th Annual Homecoming!
Alumni connect and explore the new Broadway campus
On the last weekend of September, dozens of alumni traveled to lower Manhattan for the 74th Annual Homecoming celebrations. During the weekend, alumni reconnected, met current Kings students, and held their annual alumni meeting.
Alumni attending Homecoming represented a significant cross-section of history at The Kings College. Some alum traveled from across the country to attend. Others, having attended Kings while it was located at Briarcliff Manor or Essex, NJ, traveled to Kings to see the new campus.
While at Kings, alumni caught up with each other over pancake breakfast on Saturday morning, and then took campus tours. In the early afternoon, alumni heard lectures from Dr. Joseph Loconte, Dr. Andrew Johnson, and Professor Brian Brenberg on topics ranging from a history of faith in the west to Economics 101.
Afterwards, the alumni held their annual alumni committee meeting, and then headed to a local restaurant to hear from President DSouza, Brian Parker, and members of the alumni executive team.
The major event of Homecoming was the traditional Students vs. Alumni soccer game, held on Roosevelt Island. The game pits current students against the graduated alumni of the College. Though the alumni have dominated the game in the past ten years, the student team pulled ahead to beat the alumni 3-2.
The Kings College educates students in the ideas upon which nations rise and fall. With a focused curriculum in the liberal arts tradition, students are prepared to help shape, and eventually to lead, the institutions of government, civil society, media, law, business, education, the arts, and the church. Kings is a Christian college located in New York City.

Your Home Lighting Guide
How to light your home safely, save energy, and decrease light polluion at the same time.
Reducing the glare from your home's exterior lighting is a common-sense courtesy to your neighbors, who, like you, have every right to a dark bedroom at night. But it is in your best civic interest as well: to promote a safe, pleasant nighttime environment, many jurisdictions are passing laws that prohibit light trespass, rays that shine from one property onto another. What's more, "dark-sky-friendly" practices will reduce your electricity bill. How? By ensuring that all your fixtures direct their light onto the ground, instead of spraying it up and all around, you can achieve the desired level of illumination with lower-wattage bulbs. Each watt saved means more money in your pocket.
Poor Lighting Increases the Chance of Crime
Beyond this needless expense, however, poor lighting may actually increase the chance of crime against your home and family. In its Recommended Practice Guideline 33 (issued in 1999), the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America states: "Too often people associate more light or brighter light with safer surrounds. It can be easily demonstrated that too much light, or poorly directed light, causes a loss of visibility."
A shielded fixture with a lower-wattage bulb, on the other hand, disrupts your dark adaptation less and allows you to see more of everything around you. Arranging your home's lights for evenly distributed illumination will minimize harsh shadows. And, of course, your eyes will adapt to the dark faster as you leave the proximity of your house.
Let's face it: for most homeowners, an outdoor-lighting "makeover" is long overdue. With this in mind, we researched more than 20 manufacturers of residential lighting, talked to lighting contractors, and visited major U.S. retailers to create a consumer guide to purchasing dark-sky-friendly light fixtures.

Although communication fabrics at the microarchitectural level are mainly composed of standard primitives such as queues and arbiters, to get an executable model one has to connect these primitives with glue logic to complete the description. In this paper we identify a richer set of microarchitectural primitives that allows us to describe complete systems by composition alone. This enables us to build models faster (since models are now simply wiring diagrams at an appropriate level of abstraction) and to avoid common modeling errors such as inadvertent loss of data due to incorrect timing assumptions. Our models are formal and they are used for model checking as well as dynamic validation and performance modeling. However, unlike other formalisms this approach leads to a precise yet intuitive graphical notation for microarchitecture that captures timing and functionality in sufficient detail to be useful for reasoning about correctness and for communicating microarchitectural ideas to RTL and circuit designers and validators.

Crystals can have extraordinary effects in the realms of the physic, metaphysical, spiritual, physical and emotional planes. A lot of people believe that gem stones & crystals act as amplifiers when brought into contact with the human body?s seven-Chakra points.
Chakras are wheels of energy that are located in seven centers within the body. the seven chakras correspond to the seven colors of the rainbow, the seven notes on a musical scale, and the seven endocrine glands.
Rotating at different speeds, these Chakra points release energies, imparting the body with its precious life forces. Your chakras can become clogged from stress or anxiety, and some people believe that using gem stones or crystals in accordance with meditation or bodywork will balance these energy points, promoting health, happiness and well being. I know it works for me.
Your experience with any crystal or gemstone will be a combination of that crystals unique properties and what you bring to the situation. Your experiences will be unique to you.
You will know in your heart if a stone is right for you. Pick them up, feel them, meditate with them. Take some time to be quiet with them. Take care of them, cleanse them and charge them, and keep them around you. Wear them. Let them touch your skin. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Is it merely coincidence that so many peoples in so many countries, in different ages and times, in different cultures long before mass transportation and communication seem to attribute the same healing qualities to the same gemstones? Is it just co-incidence?
I would like to say that I relied heavily on learning of the metaphysical meanings from the best-selling metaphysical book entitled:
LOVE IS IN THE EARTH; A KALEIDOSCOPE OF CRYSTALS - UPDATED, by Melody. ISBN code: O-9628190-3-4.
If you don't have Melody's book, I highly recommend it! Its easy reading, and fascinating that so much of this has been passed down for centuries. I just love it. I think it will become one of your favorites too!
It can give you some wonderful understanding into the metaphysical properties of stones and confidence that you really are beginning to understand how this all works.
The information here is presented to you to use as you see fit, but is not to take the place of professional medical advice.
Disclaimer: Crystals can accent, help, negate, protect, encourage, strengthen, and balance and thereby promote healing. Their effects can be extraordinary, but use in addition to medical advice, and not as a substitute for proper care. If you are ill, you need to seek medical attention from a qualified physician.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4
A - 4 - Dark brown-black beer with a nice tan head that sticks forever and leaves great lacing.
S - 4 - Cinnamon, dark roasted malts, toast, butter, caramel, molasses.
T - 4.25 - CInnamon sugar on toast, chocolate, caramel, vanilla
M - 4.25 - Mouthfeel is medium, alcohol is completely covered, leaves a sweet, cinnamon roasty aftertaste.
O - 4 - This is a great beer for the price. Almost taste like cinnamon toast crunch but with more dark malty, roasted notes. The cool thing is it doesn't really compare to any other porter or stout that I've had.

3.53/5 rDev -6.4%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.75
A: Nice thick, creamy head that takes its time to fade and leaves a nice bit of lacing. Color is a very dark amber that is only evident when held up to the light.
S: The high abv is immediately apparent, but not in a necessarily off-putting way. The alcohol fragrance is followed by an enticing, rich, malty smell (oatmeal-esque).
T: The oatmeal, malt smell is the first taste to come through. The taste ends up being dominated by toasted malts. Although the alcohol is definitely noticeable, it is not nearly as overpowering as the smell would suggest.
O: $2.73 for a pint. This is one of the cheapest pints/single servings available at my local craft beer store, but it definitely is in the top half in terms of taste. I readily admit that I'm a sucker for beers that successfully pull off having a high abv. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys porters and happens to see this in a local store.

Picked up this 9.4 ABV 500ml bottle on a recommendation from a friend who happens to work at my local imported beer store. Rarely am I disappointed with his recommendations and this beer fits the bill. Previous reviews accentuate the estery l / fruit like finish, which is no doubt present in this porter. But don't allow those descriptions to scare you away from the roasty, chocolate backbone of this outstanding beer. Perhaps a different type of yeast and this would be a top notch imperial stout. At $2.39 a pint everyone should take a shot at this fantastic Polish Porter

500 ml bottle poured into a snifter
A - Not quite black, this dark ruby mahogany beer remains clear, topped with a ivory head that leaves arches of gnarled lace across the glass as it sinks to a thin skim of foam.
S - Big maltiness like a boss! Toffee and caramel sweetness counteract bittersweet chocolate and dry mocha, resembling big, chewy chocolate covered raisins as this beer is loaded with dark fruit undercurrents including prune and notes of molasses and black licorice.
T - Sweet, sticky brown sugar and toffee meet bitter molasses and baker's chocolate for a smooth, balanced flavor that lingers with moist raisins and plums.
M - Creamy and smooth Black Boss has a medium-full body that finishes slightly roasted and bitter but balanced by sweetness for delicious and drinkability that subtly warms the tummy!
O - Black Boss' dark fruit esters add wonderful layers of complexity to this chocolaty beer as suggestions of licorice and molasses come in to seal the deal. Surprisingly drinkable, smooth, and deceptive, this Porter makes for a great cold weather treat!

pours a thin, almost transparent, nut brown ale-type of liquid with minimal to no head.
smell is a roasty, nut brown ale kind of smell....
taste is roasty, but thin, with lots of alcohol and a metallic twang. kind of nutty but with a twangy bitterness. one of the better Polish brews I've tasted.... not much else to say, however,,,,

Pours an almost opaque super dark brown with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cocoa powder, and sugary chocolate syrup aromas. Taste is much the same with extremely sweet cocoa powder, char, and vegetal grain flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an average beer that is fairly tasty when cold but as it warms up, there is an acrid burnt vegetal and grain flavor that is pretty off-putting.

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
a dark brown almost black pour with 2 fingers of creme colored head, slow dissipation and nice lacing left behind. there is a heavy booze aroma at first, which leads to sweet raisin, brown sugar, and chocolate. a very easy drinking porter, sweet up front, with raisin and chocolate notes, then a nice charred roasted bitterness hits you and leads way to a fig flavor that leads to a sweet finish. for the amount of malt needed to make such a high percentage beer, i'm surprised at how thin of a pour this is. medium in body with enough carbonation to make this beer go down nice and easy. this bottle is a few years old and has developed VERY nicely over time, so i suggest picking up a few since they're cheap-ish.

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A very deep brown practically just a shade or two lighter than black in the glass with a huge frothy khaki colored head that sticks around a while and laces nicely. There isnt too much in the smell. I do get just a touch of the chocolate and caramel that you'd expect in a porter but more yeast character and alcohol than is normal. The taste is pretty sweet with some of the alcohol flavors carried over. In the end some of the more typical porter flavors of roast malt and coffee come through. Overall the bitterness is quite low or perhaps that is just my perception which could be skewed by the near cloying sweetness. The body and carbonation level are both in the middle of the range, as mentioned previously the finish is a touch sweet but that gives way to a drying roasty character after a minute or two. Overall I can't get by the sweetness of this, it will appeal to some but I've just never been a big fan of big dark beers that dont bring the malt flavors that their color suggests.

look: 4 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
pours clear dark cola brown, 3/4" tan head which quickly dissipates but leaves lasting sticky lace tracings
very malty; minimal hops smell if any, but carmel/molasses sweetness can be detected already in the nose. nothing metallic or unnatural here; lightly biscuit, perhaps subtle raisin.
I immediately loved the thick chewy sweetness which is well-balanced by light bitterness. Molassess overtones; nothing really coffee or chocolate or citrus or grassy, but more towards figgy fruit... Perhaps a little one-dimensional, but wholesome; the alcohol is well-hidden. Very long-lasting, sippable...
medium-light bodied. lightly creamy. not as thick as some barleywines, but definitely chewier than a pilsner. no harsh aftertastes or hop smells at all; the flavor lingered well on the tongue.
I'd compare this to Spaten Optimizer, an imperial stout. It's also sweeter and more palatable to me, than Obsidian Stout, and packs a little more punch than Black Butte Porter, and it's sweetness was more to my liking. I found it at a great price in a grocery store, and will definitely try it again!

500 ml bottle served in a snifter.
Pours with a frothy, tan colored head that dies to a partial coat and ring rather soon. The body is mahogany: clear but very dark and not black
Aroma: Sweet medium malts with obvious alcohol esters. Hints of prunes, figs, raisins and allspice.
Taste: Fairly sweet, even in the finish. A bit too sweet. Quite fruity tasting, as the aroma suggested. The alcohol contributes to a suggestion of sherry. The dark malt is subtle for this style. Hints of nutmeg and allspice. No burnt malt flavors.
Feel: medium body and carbonation. Smooth. Well hidden alcohol.
O: An odd porter with an unusual aroma and some unexpected flavors. Interesting and worth trying, even though it is a bit too sweet.

Poured a cleary dark amber with some bright ruby highlights and a nice creamy and thick tan head.
The Smell is very sweet and grainy with just a touch of milk chocolate and sweet plum.
The flavor is rich and full with a nice heavy level of smoke that isn't at all apparent in the nose. This smoke and burnt malt flavor mixes nicely with the deep dark fruits and mild malty sweetness.
The mouthfeel is light and creamy.
Very nice Baltic Porter.

Pour a mild cola color, hardly black enough to be called a porter. Paper head is gone quickly and barely a hint is left to show it was there. Burnt malt dominates the nose, there's not alot of depth. It's smooth and easy drinking, cola, burnt toast, chocolate roast. The alcohol is present but concealed. It's awright and at 9.4 if your looking for someting to get your block rocked you could do alot worse.

Poured from a 500mL bottle into my Dogfish Head shaped pint glass.
Burnt umber liquid, dark but clear with a thick finger of soapy khaki up top. Sticky fluffy lacing, superior retention.
Melanoidin rich, yet soft malt in the nose with a hint of toasted oats, light chocolate, and tobacco. Clean but inviting.
Sweet palate entry with a massive kick of sweet malt and alcohol. An explosion of brown sugar with plenty of fusels subsiding to a slightly dry finish full of black bread with hints of rye, wheat, and pepper. Low bitterness though I can almost detect a hint of chive-like hops in there. Maybe just a whisper of diacetyl.
Medium-bodied, creamy, drying, warming.
A bit too alcohol forward which surprises me as this is less strong than Zywiec (my standard go-to Polish Baltic Porter), though not nearly as drinkable. Still a bready meal in a glass, well suited to a night cap or a small meal of sausage, cabbage, etc.

Quite a solid effort here. Black cherry in color maybe a little darker and very clear with a little carbonation evident. Decent lacing and a light covering that remains. Aroma has the requisite roasted and chocolate malt. A touch of coffee. An English style fruitiness with raisins and mild figs. A touch of alcohol and mild toffee/caramel sweetness. Taste is a recapitulation of the nose. Chocolate and coffee, molasses and toffee. SMOOTH. Roasted malt and lots of it. Earthy and dry hop bitterness that finishes clean with just a touch of lingering grapefruit. Some light graham. Feel is surprisingly light for a beer with this kind of og. Velvety carbonation, silky swallow. A great example and a wonderful bargain at less than $1.30 for a 500ml bottle.

500mL bottle served cool in a European style pint glass. Beer pours dark brown, not quite black, with nearly no head, and a few big bubbles visible. Aroma is initially kind of lagery/skunky, but upon closer inspection/sniffing, there are some really nice roasty notes too. Like, really deep blackened roastiness.
Initial reactions: there's too much carbonation, but aside from that, this is really smooth brew. Considering the high ABV listed on the top of the label, there are no harsh flavors here at all. In the middle of the mouth the porter provides some nice coffee and slightly sweet toasted malt flavors. There's also a slightly sour fruity note, which might be figs or prunes but mostly I find it nondescript. Unfortunately the aftertaste is a little bit cloying with an annoying adjunct sweetness.
Overall this was interesting enough to try but I probably wouldn't seek it out a second time.

Purchased a 500ml of this bad boy from Halftime beverage $2.69 not bad at all.
A - Well I didn't expect a big thick porter for "boss porter" but in the glass it's a very pitch black porter even at the base. Head is also great over a 1/2 inch tat settles to a thick sticky lace ring. I am impressed.
S - Smells rather fruity rather than coffee forward which came as a surprised. Has some coffee aspect with your chalky yeasts and some molasses and fruit preservatives.
T - Again very fruity and I am surprised how well it hides the ABV. If their is any coffee aspect its like a smooth frappuccino with vanilla and coffee combo. Stretching here the fruit is maybe a touch blackberry?
M - Very smooth, creamy and very drinkable for 9%. Love it.
Overall I could see why I picked this up its a nice change from a chocolate/chalky taste in your imperial porter. I love the fruity, chocolate/roast, sweet finish aspect this beer gets. Worth picking up just to try Poland's best porter.

500ml bottle poured into a New Belgium globe.
A: Deep garnet/purplish color with good clarity. One inch white head retains fairly well, though it ultimately settles into a thin crown. Thin rings of lacing and the odd patch here and there decorate the glass.
S: Chewy molasses, estery aromas of fig, date, and black currant. Restrained roasted malt scents of coffee beans and roasted barley. Whisper of semi-sweet chocolate. Touch of brown sugar. Slight scent of leafy European hops stays far in the background.
T: Molasses, touch of nuttiness, coffee grounds. Light cocoa impression and just a whisper of dark chocolate. Caramel. Fruity flavors of dried fig and date with black currant more in the background. Only the faintest hint of spicy alcohol character. Very clean taste suggests the obvious use of lager yeast. Hop character is even more shy than it was on the nose; just a light balancing bitterness and the slightest leafy taste that may be a mirage of the taste buds. Fairly sweet throughout though it does dry just a touch at the finish. Finishes with lingering roasted tastes of coffee grounds, a dab of cola and molasses, and cocoa.
M: Medium bodied and slightly syrupy. Low carbonation does little to lift it. It doesn't feel as full in the mouth as it could, and the lack of carbonation lets the dextrins sit a little more sludgily on the tongue than they should. There's a nice creamy and smooth element to it, but ultimately it just isn't as well-rounded in the mouth as it could be.
O: The mouthfeel is the weak point of this beer, and carbonation is the main issue. It's rather flat. This may be a product of poor bottling/rough shipping, among other things. Still, it doesn't detract enough from the drinking experience to make it totally unenjoyable. In fact, this is a pretty decent Baltic Porter, and more traditional than some examples of the style we see over here. Many American versions (including some of my favorites, admittedly) are affected by that overzealous, bigger-is-better American mentality. They come off tasting more like an Imperial Stout than a true Baltic Porter. It's refreshing to drink something a little more authentic and straight from the source. This is a real brain cell assassin at 9.4% abv too. It almost feels sessionable, and if it wasn't labeled you'd never know it possessed that strength until you were swinging from the chandeliers.

Appearance - Pours a near black, dark ruby brown with a light tan, 2 finger head. Good retention. Leaves behind nice, silky lacing with fair stick.
Smell - Mild notes of roasted chocolate malt, with hints of coffee and fruity esters, like red apple and grape.
Taste - Sweet and fruity. Mild notes of coffee, toffee and chocolate to start. Mid-taste a bit of fermented grape, earth and subtle heat builds to the forefront, producing a mild wine flavor with notes of chocolate subdued beneath. Finishes with a slight metallic ring.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with thick, creamy carbonation.
Overall - Odd beer. Has a bit of funky wine character amidst the porter flavor. Drinkable, and somewhat enjoyable. Something I might consider buying again, though it's not necessarily representative of the baltic style.

Poured a pitched black (had this in a dimly lighted bar, mind you) with good one-finger tan head that died quick but left some lace on top of a dry, roasted aroma with a mix of some sweet malt smells like caramel, possibly chocolate. Mouthfeel is a little thick and sticky, good balance between sweetness and roasted malts and finishes nice with a crisp finish (ABV leads to heated finish but doesn't nuke the tastebuds or anything). Good, not great, porter, as the tastes themselves are basic but pleasing. Some sweet caramel and chocolate and maybe a touch of candy fruit or something. Good beer, worth trying, not the greatest, but that's more of a critique than an indictment.

Pours the color of molasses with a healthy amount of mocha foam that settles to an appreciable veil that remains indefinitely. The aroma is very mild, a faint combination of molasses and cocoa. The flavor is much bolder than aroma, with a roasted malt character headlined by dark fruit, molasses, and alcohol. The alcohol flavor is not extreme considering the ABV, but it's certainly hard to miss. Some vanilla also manifests itself as the beer warms. The mouthfeel is slick and oily, typical of the baltic porters I've tried. A lush, roasty fog lingers in the back of the mouth after all else has subsided, lending a really nice finish. On the down side, the flavor profile lacks some cohesion, with heavy handed flavors smacking the palate variably in succession. I'm not a huge fan of Baltic porters, so perhaps I'm being a bit harsh here. With that said, this is better than other Baltic porters I've tried, so it appears to be a very solid offering for the style.

A - _Poured into a tulip glass. Dark amber-ruby color visible only when held directly in front of light, 1-finger tan-beight head leaving thin lacing.
S - Decent amount of caramel, some coffee, no chocolate. Mostly sweet roasted malts.
T - Predominantly molasses and caramel, not as much espresso/coffee that was in smell, dark fruitiness, roasted maltiness. Agree with others on a slight metallic bite on the finish. Sweet palate. Alcohol eminent and upfront. Mildly smokey in a good way...
M - lighter mouthfeel for a moderately dark porter. Perfect amount of carbonation in my opinion - Not too spritzy nor flat by any means
O - Great beer for the value, otherwise above average by other means. It is worth the $2/bottle price and would certainly consider purchasing again. I've had better porters, but this beer is better than many others I've tried before. Would recommend, but I wouldn't go out of my way to push it on someone to drink. The alcohol is a touch strong, but masked rather well.

Sandy doesn't stop residents from casting their votes in Presidential and Morris County races
It's all over now. Americans came out in record numbers to election representatives at all levels of government from the presidency down.
In Morris County the polling place turnout was 207,606 or 63.41 percent of the 327, 422 registered voters.
Already the pundits are debating the impact the "superstorm" Hurricane Sandy had on the voting in New Jersey and surrounding areas but regardless of what they believe to have happened, the people have spoken and here are the results.
President Barack Obama (D) and Senator Robert Menendez (D) are returning to office as will Representative Rodney Frelinghuysen (R) in the 11th Congressional District, Representative Leonard Lance (R) in the 7th Congressional District and Assemblywoman Betty Lou DeCroce (R) in the 26th General Assembly District.
Recently appointed Morris County Freeholder John Cesaro (R) from Parsippany was the top vote getter and will therefore retain that seat. Joining him on the Board are his running mates John Krickus (R) from Washington Township and David Scapicchio (R) from Mount Olive. Two Montville residents were vying for the unexpired term on the Freeholder Board. William Hank Lyons (R) beat out his opponent Truscha Quatrone, 100,812 to 63,766 respectively.
The two ballot questions were also approved statewide. In Morris County Question No. 1, the "Building our Future Bond Act," passed 88,961 to 59,857 and Question No. 2 passed overwhelmingly 123,462 to 24,015.
Here are the unofficial town by town results:
There was a shakeup on the previously all-Republican Board of Alderman.

meatball problems! (seriously)
I need to make perfect meatballs for a crowd this week but everytime I make them, something always goes wrong
1. too hard
2. falls apart, especially when I pan fry them, even if I bake then put in sauce- same problem
3. dry, not enough flavor, not moist
I love sbarros meatballs and the combination of pork and beef (not a fan of lamb), any ideas?
I've tried so many different recipes, tried to to overwork the meat, tried fresh bread and boxed bread crumbs, wrong type of meat (80/20,95/5%)?
Could it be too many bread crumbs? maybe egg yolks instead of eggs? Add an extra egg? buttermilk?
What am I doing wrong?! I love meatballs!
These are great .. I use currants instead of raisins but you can just eliminate that and the pinenuts if you prefer a plainer meatball. I also add more eggs and chopped fresh basil. I pan fry mine, not bake, but some people prefer to bake.
Last few times I've made meatballs (or meatloaf) have ripped up a few slices of bread and soaked with milk instead of dry bread crumbs. I like my meatballs SMALL (one bite) and "soft"... soaked bread seems to help. Once browned, into sauce for a nice long simmer. Don't like "bare" meatballs with sauce just topping them.
There are countless meatball problem threads, not to mention the currently active ones like the September dish of the month: http://www.chow.com/search?query=meat...
You are probably using too many breadcrumbs and not enough egg. Bread should be fresh, and wet (panade).
Can you post the recipe? Probably the ratio of a certain ingredient is off.
Also, don't try to mix them too much---that will lead them to be hard and tough.I use all beef, usually 85/15. To 1.5 lb beef, I use 2 large eggs, a handful of dry breadcrumbs (approx 1/2 cup, maybe a little more), about 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese and a little dry basil and parsley.

Jerrie Williams is a blogger on the Beauregard Daily News website. The name of her blog is C.O.P.E. Community Organized Parents in Education. This blog is syndicated statewide to all GateHouse websites. She will not only be blogging about local education concerns, but information about resources for parental research on different subjects concerning children and their well being. Jerrie Williams is the mother of three autistic children. Her journey began in 1999, when she discovered that her children were not developing according to the national mind stone charts. This was after they had received immunizations and developed reactions to them. She later learned the immunizations contained an agent that her children were allergic to, which led to their developmental delays. She moved her children to Georgia to be treated by a specialist in autism and brain injury in 2000. Since then she has been searching and discovering several research-based interventions and resources to educate, support and assist in the recovery of autism. She moved to Louisiana in August, 2011, and has been involved in educating the community about autism and the resources available to parents of autistic children as well as adults with autism. She has been instrumental in helping the Beauregard Parish school system to design an individualized curriculum that was suited for the educational needs of her children as well as other special needs children. Her children have since blossomed with this curriculum and continue to thrive. She will continue in her journey as a mother and an advocate for others.
A&E's hit show Storage Wars is rigged - at least according to a lawsuit filed by Dave Hester.In the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, the former host claims that he was fired from the series after complaining to producers about the alleged rigged practices, which he says include producers planting valuable items in the units. In one instance, Hester states that producers planted a BMW mini car underneath a heap of garbage.Photos: Everybody's posing nude! Check out Rihanna and other stars who've bared allFurthermore, Hester alleges that the show paid for certain cast members to get plastic surgery to "create more sex appeal."A&E declined to discuss the lawsuit, explaining: "We do not comment on pending litigation."This isn't Hester's first legal entanglement this year. In June, the reality star settled a lawsuit against singer Trey Songz over rights to the catchphrase "YUUUP!"Do you think Storage Wars is rigged?

Peaceful Manjushri Practice (CD223)
The purpose of Dharma practice is to purify the mind, to clear away all temporary stains of the afflictive emotions. The source of these afflictive emotions is a fundamental confusion about the nature of reality. Manjushri practice is then essential, because his basic function is to clear away confusion and bring forth wisdom. Manjushri is the embodiment of enlightened awareness, or primordial wisdom. His root mantra, OM WAM GI SHWARI MUM is highly revered as one of the quickest methods to bring about transcendent awareness. Manjushri is well-loved by Tibetan Buddhist practitioners across time periods and cultures.
This is a recording of the text called "The Wisdom of Light," a translation by Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche that is available in the "Sadhana" section of the Webstore. The sadhana was written by Drikung Bhande Dharmaradza, the second Chungsang Rinpoche, and a root teacher for Gartrul Konchok Tenzin Chokyi Nima, one of the previous incarnations of Garchen Rinpoche.
A recording of Lama Thubten Nima at the Garchen Institute in 2007. One disk.

This week, with a little bit of wiggle room in the 105-player camp limit because of the continued absence of newcomers Darrien Howard, Isaac McDonald and D'Vante Henry, DeForest brought in walk-on freshman kicker Mike Molina from Hurricane. But DeForest said that had nothing to do with Lambert's performance.
"No, I just need another kicker to save Josh's leg a little,'' DeForest said. "And I've got to identify a kickoff guy. We don't, at this point, have a guy who can kick off, which is a huge change of field position. So that concerns me.''
Punter is a little more crowded with junior college transfer Nick O'Toole, junior Mike Molinari and freshman Houston Syvertson all in camp. That job is perhaps O'Toole's to lose, but like kickers, punters are a strange breed. Coaches never really know what they're getting until the pressure is on.
But finding a kicker and a punter - or a snapper and holder - doesn't require a full-time special-teams coach. Obviously there's more to special teams than that.
So DeForest spends a lot of his time scavenging through the roster trying to find special-teams warriors, guys who can block for kicks and block kicks, cover and converge. One of his most interesting finds so far has been junior offensive lineman Michael Calicchio. He's playing as one of the protectors on the punt team, the three players who line up behind the line of scrimmage and form the final blocking shield for the punter.
Calicchio is 6-foot-9 and 325 pounds.
"Hey, you get big [players there] and [the defense is] going to run into you with big people. You just don't let them run through you. It's not rocket science,'' said DeForest, who once worked at NASA. "He takes pride in it. It's important to him. He's not going to get a lot of reps on the offensive line, so he takes pride on being a starter on punts. And that's what you're looking for.''
And that's what DeForest spends a tremendous amount of time doing - looking for those guys.
"Let's be honest, no one on this team wants to play special teams. Nobody,'' DeForest said. "You've got to convince them that it's an integral part of the game and motivate them. That's our job as coaches.''
Specifically, it's DeForest's job. That's the thing about being a full-time special-teams coach. Only half of it - perhaps less - involves X's and O's or technique. The biggest part might be identifying who has the best physical and mental qualifications to play, as well as balancing that against their roles on offense or defense. There will certainly be, for instance, defensive starters on special teams, but ideally a coach would like to find backups who will commit themselves and do the job even better because of that commitment.
"My goal is to find a third-team safety and make him the best backside tight end on kickoff returns. Give him that role,'' DeForest said as an example. "It's just like we did with Calicchio: 'Look, you're a third-team tackle. How can you contribute to this team? Be the best middle shield in the country.'
"If we can motivate kids that aren't starting on offense or defense to find a role and relish it, thrive in it, then we've accomplished what we want to get done.''
