Get The Right Camera For All Your Needs
DSLR cameras are fantastic for shooting pictures of everything from your family vacation to your kids' sporting events to still life photos. Shopping for a DSLR can be overwhelming with so many options available. Before you make your final purchase, consider the following factors to help you find the right DSLR camera for your needs.
PriceStart narrowing down your DSLR camera choices by setting a budget. Cameras range in price from very affordable to astronomically expensive. Set a maximum price that you want to pay and stick to it. When determining your camera budget, keep in mind that you also may need to buy accessories like batteries, filters, lenses, memory cards and other items. UseProbably the most important factor to consider is how you will use the camera. Do you want a general camera to shoot photos of your everyday life? Do you travel extensively? Do you intend to use your DSLR for sports and action photography? How about low light? If you go to a camera shop or electronics store, these are some of the questions the sales person will ask, so ask yourself the same things as you are narrowing down your camera options. Check out these DSLR photography tips for beginners >>ResolutionIf you plan to print very large photos, then you'll need a camera with high megapixels. For standard sizes and posting photos on the web, a lower number of megapixels may be suitable for your use. SizeDSLRs aren't tiny like some compact point-and-shoot cameras. However, some are much smaller than others. If you want to shoot pictures on family vacations and other trips, you'll probably want a DSLR camera that is relatively small and light. If you are looking for an easy-to-use DSLR with a compact design that delivers beautiful pictures, consider the Canon EOS Rebel T3i. Read these tips for shooting kids' portraits at home >>ConnectivityGetting your photos off your camera and onto your computer is generally done by USB. However, some DSLR cameras offer wireless connectivity and other options. Additional featuresQUICK TIP Also ask around to your friends and family to see which DSLR they own. Find out what they love about their camera and, maybe more importantly, what they dislike.
Most DSLRs have all the basic features, but when it comes to the extras, they vary tremendously. If you want a low-fuss option, you might want to purchase a DSLR with just the bare bones options. For low light photography, consider the camera's range of ISO settings. If you are interested in shooting action photography, then burst mode (holding down the release to shoot a burst of images) may be something to look for. The LCD size is also another feature to compare between cameras. You might not be comfortable shooting pictures with only a 2-inch screen. Many cameras come with a variety of semi-automatic shooting modes often labeled as "portrait," "sports," etc. These are also things to keep in mind when selecting your camera. Check out our guide to shooting action shots >>Before you purchase your new DSLR, read online reviews from both professional reviewers and actual customers. Many review websites offer the ability to do side-by-side comparisons of different models. By doing a little research and being familiar with the camera options available, you can find the perfect DSLR for you. Family travelDiscover fun family destinations with our Family Travel Guide.

May08 instagrammet gala 2013fashion Met Gala 2013- Punk: Chaos To Couture (Instagram Edition) The 2013 Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala (aka "The Met Gala"), is like the Oscar's of fashion for designers, celebrities, and fashion icons! The theme for this years Met Gala was appropriately titled "Punk: Chaos to Couture". I was thrilled that the theme was switched up this year. While I love a classic gown, the punk theme allowed attendees to have a little more fun and actually have a reason to step outside their comfort zone at such a major event! Instead of using all red carpet photos, I thought it would be fun to approach things from an Instagram point of view. Here is a list of my favorite red carpet looks, dope nails of the night, and some tragedies that just didn't give me life at all. Read on for a healthy dose of leather, spikes, lace, and hair gel! Cheers to those who really had fun with it! MY TOP FAVS I love how Nicole Richie went all out with the punk theme! Everything from the grayish blue hair to the bold lip and couture white beaded gown. You see that dope gold ear cuff? Details make all the difference! Go Nicole! Model Cara Delevingne in Burberry Prorsum! Yaaasss hunny, so my style! I absolutely love the deep v neck dress with the extra edgy spikes and messy smokey eye! Young, fresh, and definitely punk. Donatella Versace looked hot last night in a black floor length gown with sheer cut out panels and safety pin covered sleeves! Loving the mixed black textures paired with her signature blonde hair and smokey eye. Sarah Jessica Parker NAILED IT in a Giles gown and Christian Louboutin boots! …and that Philip Treacy headpiece … ::drops the mic:: I pray to God that I age like Jennifer Lopez! Every time she steps out she serves glamazon on a platter! Ok, Miley Cyrus is on a roll with this fresh style transition of hers. She rocked a mesh Marc Jacobs number complete with the ultimate spiked "up-do". Rooney Mara turned heads as she donned a sexy angelic take on "punk" wearing a white, lace Givenchy dress. I probably would have selected a different shoe but she did her thing with the dark lip! Madonna in Givenchy… enough said. I know she had a ball with this theme! Although this wasn't the punkest of the bunch on the red carpet, I just love the artistry behind Balmain. Kate Bosworth couldn't have been with a cuter date, Balmain designer Oliver Rousteing (pictured sitting down). I would totally rock this look! I love Kerri Washington. While watching her red carpet interview with Vogue, she mentioned that she threw in some cool purple highlights into her hair to really get into the punk theme. Don't think I didn't notice the fly ensemble Vera Wang chose! Two thumbs up from me. Last but not least, the anticipated arrival from Queen B! Even the celebrities couldn't wait to see her and ensemble selection. Beyonce literally showed up in flames rocking a strapless Givenchy dress. Givenchy made a heavy presence on the red carpet this year! Aaaannnnddd as far as the "not so much" crew, Kim Kardashian and Nikki Minaj were on my worst dressed list. While I appreciate a fashion risk taker, the floral frock Kim K. selected was not working for her at all. Nikki's hair looked ok, but I was expecting something a lot more out of the box coming from her. Who do you think was the best dressed on the red carpet? And how do you think Kim K and Nikki could have rocked it better? Permalink
Jan04 mckenzie renae20132013 new yearfashionthreads of the dayinstagram New Years Eve 2013 Recap I wanted to come into the new year with an open mind and an open heart. A fresh start of positivity, laughter, risk taking, and blossoming relationships! Every year I used to stress myself about what to wear for New Years Eve. That was not the case this year, I chose to go with clothes I already had and either hadn't worn yet or had not worn in a while. I got my dress for like $20 at a no name boutique, I made my vintage lace jacket and then had altered to fit my body. My style is pretty simple, just jazzed up with a lot of the right accessories! I looooove accessories … jewelry, shoes, bags, I love it all lol! I went with my nude sandals with the sparkle heel from Zara (pictured center) … and my gold sparkle clutch with the rhinestone clasp. I think I got it from Forever 21 a long time ago. I added the finishing touches with my blue and gold statement necklace from Topshop. and here's the finished look :) Me and my girlfriends brought in the new year in style and partied the night away with Mr. "Gold all in my watch," Trinidad James. Here are some more photos taken throughout the night via Instagram (@McKenzie_Renae) ! Enjoy :) Happy 2013!! Permalink

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- With everything going on in our daily lives, the area of relationships is often the one that suffers.
Not only are our current relationships strained, but there are also those that resurface through reunions, e-mail and social networking tools like Facebook. There seems to be a great divide between folks who thrive on reconnecting with old friends on Facebook -- and those who say they weren't that close to these friends in high school and can't see how they'd have anything in common with them now.
Personally, I think it's a need to fill that great void of "community" that's lacking in many of our lives. Sometimes we're living virtual lives -- with those across vast distances -- rather than interacting with neighbors over the backyard fence.
Which is not to say one is more highly valued than the other. It's just different, and it plays out differently among generations.
I recently heard an excellent talk by Susan Brewer, CEO of the Steptoe & Johnson law firm, to the Elevations luncheon group of the Charleston Alliance. While the talk was geared toward women, I believe both sexes could relate to and benefit from her wisdom.
Brewer began by defining success, although the bulk of her talk had to do with the relationships we form along the way. Just take a look at her definition of success: "growing and gaining wisdom as a person while maintaining a sense of humor, sanity and stability -- and being satisfied and happy with your accomplishments without comparing yourself to anyone else."
Success doesn't come without lots of help and support from others, though. You definitely need relationships to achieve your goals and to maintain your sense of humor, sanity and stability. Listed here are the five important relationships you need, according to Brewer.

Panther Energy 'spoofed' oil and commodity markets traded on CME exchanges
New Jersey-based Panther Energy Trading and its principal, Michael Coscia, were fined a total of $3.1 million, and also ordered to hand over at least $1.4 million in trading profits, for "spoofing" markets in crude oil, natural gas and other commodities, such as wheat, soybean and corn.
Coscia was accused of using an algorithm to illegally place and quickly cancel orders to buy and sell futures contracts traded on CME Group (CME)exchanges and London's ICE during a two-month period, the regulators said.
Regulators said Coscia and his firm would place small sell orders they wanted to execute, followed by several large buy orders at successively higher prices that they intended to cancel, with the aim of artificially inflating the price at which they could sell by creating an impression of strong demand.
Related: Favorite stocks of high speed traders
Once the sell order was filled by another market participant, Coscia would cancel the buy orders and then reverse the process, racking up a profit from the executions of small orders many times over between August and October 2011.
"While forms of algorithmic trading are of course lawful, using a computer program that is written to spoof the market is illegal and will not be tolerated," said David Meister, enforcement director at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Panther and Coscia have been banned from trading on any CTFC-registered entity for a year, and from CME markets for six months.
The CFTC said this was the first case pursued under Dodd-Frank rules that explicitly prohibit placing buy or sell orders with the intent to cancel before executing the trade.
The total financial penalty includes a CFTC penalty of $1.4 million, a CME fine of $800,000, along with a fine of about $900,000 imposed by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority for Coscia's deliberate manipulation of Brent crude, gas oil and West Texas Intermediate futures contracts on the ICE.
Related: High speed trading: Paying for an edge
The FCA fine was cut by 30% because Coscia chose to settle.
The FCA said Coscia made a profit of nearly $280,000 over a 6-week period, mainly at the expense of other high speed traders.
"High frequency trading and the use of algorithms are an important and commonplace part of the markets nowadays but in this case these techniques were deliberately designed to abuse the market," said Tracey McDermott, director of enforcement and financial crime at the FCA.

San Diego Zoo( Don Bartletti / Los Angeles Times )
For all the attention it gets, the San Diego Zoo (2920 Zoo Drive, San Diego) boils down to about 3,700 animals on 100 acres -- not unlike certain college campuses. But instead of four years, you spend a full day, beginning at the 9 a.m. opening. One of the attractions you'll find is the Galapagos tortoise enclosure, where you'll find the zoo's oldest inhabitants.

The Geneses of Civilizations, Part Two (A Study of History Volume 2)
by Arnold J. ToynbeeArnold Toynbee writes: IN the first volume of A Study of History, I start by searching for a unit of historical study that is relatively self-contained and is therefore more or less intelligible in isolation from the rest of history. I was led into this quest by finding myself dissatisfied with the present-day habit of studying history in terms of national states. These seemed, and still seem, to me to be fragments of something larger, and I found this larger and more satisfying unit of study in a civilization. The history of the United States, for instance, or the history of Britain, is, as I see it, a fragment of the history of Western Christendom or the Western Christian World, and I believe I can put my finger on a number of other societies, living or extinct, that are of the same species. Examples of other living civilizations besides the Western Civilization are the Islamic and the Civilization of Eastern Asia, centring on China. Examples of extinct civilizations are the Greco-Roman and the Ancient Egyptian. This practice of dealing in civilizations instead of nations is taken for granted by orientalists, ancient-historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists. The carving-up of a civilization into pieces labelled 'nations' is, I believe, something peculiar to students of modern Western history, and, with them too, this present practice of theirs is only recent. Down to the beginning of the eighteenth century, the classic works of Western historians took for their field the whole history of Western Christendom or even the whole history of the World from the Creation to the Last Judgement. Other books in this series are available from Bookshare.
by Stephen MitchellIn this highly acclaimed translation, Stephen Mitchell conveys in English the simplicity, dignity and powerful earthiness of the original Hebrew. More than just interpreting it, he also separates stories that were combined by scribes centuries after they were written, explaining their sources and omitting all verses that are recognized as scribal additions. Like removing coat after coat of lacquer from a once-vibrant masterpiece, this allows readers to appreciate the clarity of the original tales. Genesis is an extraordinarily beautiful book that is accessible in a way that no other translation has ever been. It will shed new light on readers' understanding of this seminal work of sacred scripture.
by Keith R. A. DecandidoThe Hive: a subterranean genetic research facility owned and operated by Umbrella, an immensely powerful corporation with interests in everything from human longevity to biowarfare. With computerized defenses and heavily armed human backup, the Hive is impregnable and invulnerable. Or so Umbrella believes. But something has gone fatally wrong. The Hive has lost containment of its most lethal and horrific creation: a virus that kills and reanimates human life, reducing the entire facility staff of five hundred men and women to mindless creatures with a single driving force -- hunger. And the key to stopping them rests with one young woman who cannot even remember who she is.
Genesis 1 - 11
by Edwin M. GoodThis book invites readers to reconsider what they think they know about the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis, from the creation of the world, through the Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel, to the introduction of Abraham. Edwin M. Good offers a new translation of and literary commentary on these chapters, approaching the material as an ancient Hebrew book. Rather than analyzing the chapters in light of any specific religious position, he is interested in what the stories say and how they work as stories, indications in them of their origins as orally performed and transmitted, and how they do and do not connect with one another. Everyone, from those intimately familiar with Genesis to those who have never read it before, will find something new in Genesis 1-11: Tales of the Earliest World.

Genesis Force
by John VornholtFollowing on the success and popularity of Genesis Wave: Books One, Two, and Three, John Vornholt pulls together a group of Star Trek heroes with a mission unlike any other!The passing of the Genesis Wave has damaged hundreds of worlds in the newly named "Genesis Sector," and chaos reigns throughout that area of space. Each world has been changed in different ways, and a group of extraordinary men and women -- some old friends, some new faces -- have been assigned the job of getting the devastated planets back on their feet. Their first job: To resettle an entire displaced alien race on its altered home planet, where the dead come back to life, microbes have reached gigantic size, and the new ecology taking over the world is one not fit for man nor genetically altered beast. . . .
Genesis in Space and Time
by Francis A. SchaefferGenesis is a book of origins--the origin of the universe, the origin of life and the origin of man. It places man in his cosmic setting, shows his particular uniqueness, explains his wonder and his flaws, and begins to trace the flow of human history through space and time. Many today, however, view this book as a collection of myths, useful for understanding the Hebrew mind, perhaps, but certainly not a record of what really happened. Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer challenges that view and shows how the first eleven chapters of Genesis stand as a solid, space-time basis for answering the tough questions posed by modern man.
The Genesis Key
by James BarneyMore than three decades ago, Dr. Kathleen Sainsbury's archaeologist parents were murdered at an ancient excavation site in Iraq. Now the gifted biologist stands on the brink of a miraculous breakthrough: the discovery of a gene that could extend a human life by hundreds of years. But at the moment of her greatest triumph, a mysterious phone call reveals a hidden truth that draws chaos and violence once again into Kathleen's world . . . and threatens to irreversibly alter the destiny of humankind. For somewhere in the shadows, powerful unseen forces are watching . . . and waiting. Suddenly Kathleen is a target of covert government operatives as she races to uncover the mystery behind her parents' secret research and brutal deaths- a mystery locked in the human genome, in the sands of antiquity, and in the Book of Genesis. More than survival is at stake for Dr. Kathleen Sainsbury. The future of all humanity hangs in the balance . . . and the prize is the secret of life itself.
The Genesis Machine
by James P. HoganBrad Clifford's theory was just applied mathematics-but its implications were too hot for the frozen minds of his superiors. So they buried it--and him--under wraps of secrecy. Then Aubrey Philipsz, iconoclast and fellow genius, appeared on the scene to build the Genesis Machine Clifford's theory made possible. And all previous science and technology went into a tailspin. Suddenly, all weapons seemed useless before the previously unimagined power of the Genesis Machine. It could wreck a world or save it--and the men who ruled that world on a path of disaster now fought to gain control of this new force. But Clifford and Philipsz had another goal, another dream. They were reaching for the stars!

The Genesis of Ethics
by Burton L. VisotzkyBurton L. Visotzky, one of America's most respected scholars of religion, guides readers through a close reading of the narratives of the Book of Genesis, exposing their brutal power and revealing how their moral dilemmas apply to ethical issues we face in our lives today. Rabbi Visotzky has led highly regarded seminars, attended by novelists, poets, editors, filmmakers and critics, Fortune 500 CEOs, bankers, and attorneys. He also was a major participant in Bill Moyers' PBS Genesis series. His reading of Genesis opens the door to moral development for all readers--Christians, Jews, Muslims, and secularists. As Burton Visotzky says, the Book of Genesis seems to be, at least on first reading, "an ugly little soap opera about a dysfunctional family . . . a story about rape, incest, murder, deception, brute force, sex, and blood lust. But these stories reveal much about human dilemmas and ethical problems that mirror our own lives. By delving into the lives of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Esau and holding up these characters of Scripture to the light of critical inquiry, Burton Visotzky reveals much that is fresh and useful about ethics and morality. "He is a rabbi who is earthy, playful, and full of insight, who refuses to draw a veil over the dark side of the Bible or of our own contemporary experience. " --Thomas Cahill, author of How the Irish Saved Civilization "[Visotzky] has a wonderfully earthy, human touch to his commentary, a perspective that can be especially refreshing for Christians who have seen the 'Old Testament' sanitized or ignored by their own tradition. " --San Francisco Chronicle "Thrilling original insights . . . a new way to see and feel these old, old sentences. " --The New York Times Magazine "Visotzky delights in turning the gem of each story so that its facets, especially the darkest ones, gleam out at us. . . . The Genesis of Ethics is a unique contribution to Bible discussion. . . . One can only applaud and thank him. " --Naomi Rosen, Congress Monthly

Genesis of Symbolic Thought
by Alan BarnardSymbolic thought is what makes us human. Claude Lévi-Strauss stated that we can never know the genesis of symbolic thought, but in this powerful new study Alan Barnard argues that we can. Continuing the line of analysis initiated in Social Anthropology and Human Origins (Cambridge University Press, 2011), Genesis of Symbolic Thought applies ideas from social anthropology, old and new, to understand some of the areas also being explored in fields as diverse as archaeology, linguistics, genetics and neuroscience. Barnard aims to answer questions including: when and why did language come into being? What was the earliest religion? And what form did social organization take before humanity dispersed from the African continent? Rejecting the notion of hunter-gatherers as 'primitive', Barnard hails the great sophistication of the complex means of their linguistic and symbolic expression and places the possible origin of symbolic thought at as early as 130,000 years ago.
Genesis of the Salk Institute
by Suzanne BourgeoisThis work is a personal account of the origins and early years of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Bourgeois crafts an engaging study that draws on her involvement with the Institute and on related archives, interviews, and informal conversations.The volume discusses the people who founded the Institute and built a home for renowned research--leading scientists of the time as well as non-scientists of stature in finance, politics, philanthropy, publishing, and the humanities. The events that brought people together, the historic backdrop in which they worked, their personalities, their courage and their visions, their clash of egos and their personal vanities are woven together in a rich, engaging narrative about the founding of a world-premier research institution.

Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology of Multiple Myeloma
by Suzanne LentzschMultiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy characterized by complex heterogenous cytogenetic abnormalities that accounts for 1.4% of all cancers, and approximately 10% of hematologic malignancies. The clinical manifestations of multiple myeloma include lytic bone lesions, cytopenia, hypercalcemia, renal dysfunction, hyperviscosity of the blood, immunodeficiency, and peripheral neuropathy. Based on the clinical and genetic data, probably all cases of multiple myeloma arise from an asymptomatic monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance. The exact mechanism of the transition from MGUS to overt multiple myeloma is still not well understood. Recent oncogenomic studies have further advanced our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of multiple myeloma. This book will give a comprehensive overview of the genetic and molecular epidemiology of multiple myeloma in order to get a more refined and conclusive understanding of this disease.

by Mehdi Tafti Paul Shaw Michael Thorpy Paul Shaw Mehdi TaftiThe first comprehensive book on the subject, The Genetic Basis of Sleep and Sleep Disorders covers detailed reviews of the general principles of genetics and genetic techniques in the study of sleep and sleep disorders. The book contains sections on the genetics of circadian rhythms, of normal sleep and wake states and of sleep homeostasis. There are also sections discussing the role of genetics in the understanding of insomnias, hypersomnias including narcolepsy, parasomnias and sleep-related movement disorders. The final chapter highlights the use of gene therapy in sleep disorders. Written by genetic experts and sleep specialists from around the world, the book is up to date and geared specifically to the needs of both researchers and clinicians with an interest in sleep medicine. This book will be an invaluable resource for sleep specialists, neurologists, geneticists, psychiatrists and psychologists.
Genetic Mapping in Experimental Populations
by J. Jansen J.W. Van OoijenGenetic linkage maps are an increasingly important tool in both fundamental and applied research, enabling the study and deployment of genes that determine important biological traits. This concise introduction to genetic mapping in species with disomic inheritance enables life science graduate students and researchers to use mapping software to produce more reliable results. After a brief refresher on meiosis and genetic recombination, the steps in the map construction procedure are described, with explanations of the computations involved. The emphasis throughout is on the practical application of the methods described; detailed mathematical formulae are avoided and exercises are included to help readers consolidate their understanding. A chapter on recognising and solving problems provides valuable guidance for dealing with real-life situations. An extensive chapter dedicated to the more complex situation of outbreeding species offers a unique insight into the approach required for many economically important and model species, both plants and animals.
Genetic Modification of Plants
by Frank Kempken Christian JungConceived with the aim of sorting fact from fiction over genetically modified (GM) crops, this book brings together the knowledge of 30 specialists in the field of transgenic plants. It covers the generation and detection of these plants as well as the genetic traits conferred on transgenic plants. In addition, the book looks at a wide variety of crops, ornamental plants and tree species that are subject to genetic modifications, assessing the risks involved in genetic modification as well as the potential economic benefits of the technology in specific cases. The book's structure, with fully cross-referenced chapters, gives readers a quick access to specific topics, whether that is comprehensive data on particular species of ornamentals, or coverage of the socioeconomic implications of GM technology. With an increasing demand for bioenergy, and the necessary higher yields relying on wider genetic variation, this book supplies all the technical details required to move forward to a new era in agriculture.
The Genetic Strand
by Edward BallThe Genetic Strand is the story of a writer's investigation, using DNA science, into the tale of his family's origins. National Book Award winner Edward Ball has turned his probing gaze on the microcosm of the human genome, and not just any human genome -- that of his slave-holding ancestors. What is the legacy of such a family history, and can DNA say something about it? In 2000, after a decade in New York City, Ball bought a house in Charleston, South Carolina, home to his father's family for generations, and furnished it with heirloom pieces from his relatives. In one old desk he was startled to discover a secret drawer, sealed perhaps since the Civil War, in which someone had hidden a trove of family hair, with each lock of hair labeled and dated. The strange find propelled him to investigate: what might DNA science reveal about the people -- Ball's family members, long dead -- to whom the hair had belonged? Did the hair come from white relatives, as family tradition insisted? How can genetic tests explain personal identity? Part crime-scene investigation, part genealogical romp, The Genetic Strand is a personal odyssey into DNA and family history. The story takes the reader into forensics labs where technicians screen remains, using genetics breakthroughs like DNA fingerprinting, and into rooms where fathers nervously await paternity test results. It also summons the writer¹s entertaining and idiosyncratic family, such as Ball¹s antebellum predecessor, Aunt Betsy, who published nutty books on good Southern society; Kate Fuller, the enigmatic ancestor who may have introduced African genes into the Ball family pool; and the author¹s first cousin Catherine, very much alive, who donates a cheek swab from a mouth more attuned to sweet iced tea than DNA sampling. Writing gracefully but pacing his story like an old-fashioned whodunit, Edward Ball tracks genes shared across generations, adding suspense and personal meaning to what the scientists and Nobel laureates tell us. A beguiling DNA tale, The Genetic Strand reaches toward a new form of writing<the genetic memoir.

Applejack is a strong alcoholic beverage produced from apples, popular in the American colonial period.[1]
Applejack was historically made by concentrating cider, either by the traditional method of freeze distillation or by true evaporative distillation. The term applejack derives from jacking, a term for freeze distillation.[1] The modern product sold as applejack is no longer produced using this traditional process.
In New Jersey, applejack was used as currency to pay road construction crews during the colonial period. A slang expression for the beverage was Jersey Lightning.[2] The oldest licensed distillery in the United States, Laird & Company, in Scobeyville, New Jersey, was until recently the country's only remaining producer of applejack, and during the American Revolution George Washington asked Robert Laird for his recipe for "cyder spirits."[2]
Freeze distillation is a low-infrastructure method of production compared to evaporation distillation. Apples and applejack have historically been easy to produce in small quantities. Hard apple cider was an important drink in the colonial and early years of the United States, particularly in areas without access to clean water, but was often considered insufficiently palatable and bulky to store.
Rather than consume an alcoholic fruit beer, the cider harvested in the fall was often separated in the winter via freeze distillation, by leaving it outside and periodically removing the frozen chunks of ice, thus concentrating the unfrozen alcohol in the remaining liquid. From the fermented juice, with an alcohol content of less than 10%, the concentrated result contains 30-40% alcohol.
It is slightly sweet and usually tastes and smells of apples.
Freeze distillation can concentrate methanol and fusel alcohols (by-products of fermentation which true distillation separates out) in applejack to unhealthy levels. As a result, many countries prohibit such applejack as a health measure.[citation needed] However, reducing methanol with the absorption of 4A molecular sieve is a practical method for production.[3] Also, distillation by evaporation can separate these since they have different boiling points.
With easy availability of grain, metal stills, clean water, and eventually pasteurization starting in the mid-19th century, cider and applejack were gradually displaced by other beverages and liquors. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, traditional applejack acquired a stigma as a result of its association with the older production process, and was less economical to produce than some alternatives.

The EU court has been asked to define 'human embryo' and outline their practical uses as spelled out in the EU's Biotechnology Directive (see 'Background'), which states that "the human body, at the various stages of its formation and development," cannot be considered a patentable invention.
Brüstle vs. Greenpeace
The request for a preliminary ECJ ruling on the matter comes from the German Federal Court of Justice, which failed to decide whether to patent a method of converting embryonic stem cells (hESC) into nerve cells, which could potentially be used to treat neurological trauma and disease and was introduced by German researcher Oliver Brüstle.
The patent was originally granted to Brüstle in 1999. But following legal action by Greenpeace, the patent was deemed to be in violation of the EU biotech directive and was partially revoked.
After a renewed appeal by the patent holder and given the incapacity of the German court to decide, a number of questions are now being referred to the ECJ for a preliminary ruling.
A request for a preliminary ruling enables national courts to ask the ECJ for its interpretation of EU law or enquire as to its validity. The ECJ's response or interpretation is binding on the national court to which it is addressed, as well as on other national courts before which problems of the same nature are raised.
Questions to be answered
The ECJ hearing on the Brüstle vs. Greenpeace case, which starts today (12 January), seeks to clarify the terminology used in the EU biotech directive and answer a series of specific questions tabled by the German court.
Firstly, the Court is asked to define 'human embryo' as well as clarify the specific wording used in the EU biotech directive, which states that "uses of human embryos for industrial or commercial purposes" are not patentable.
Brüstle argues that the ban on granting a patent should only apply to embryos that are more than 14 days old and that the EU directive should allow the patenting and use of embryonic cells before the 14 day mark.
Secondly, the ECJ is asked to be more explicit regarding the expression "uses of human embryos for industrial or commercial purposes" and to specify whether that also includes patenting for scientific research.
Greenpeace argues that a patent always has a commercial purpose and points out that research is possible without a patent, whereas patent law regulates commercial use.
The third question focuses on whether technical findings can be patented, in this case referring to the method of converting embryonic stem cells into nerve cells.
In search of clarity
The EU's biotech directive does not mention embryonic stem cells, as the technology did not exist when the directive was discussed and adopted in 1998.
However, in a resolution adopted in 2005, the European Parliament sought to address the matter.
It insisted that "the creation of human embryonic stem cells implies the destruction of human embryos and [...] therefore the patenting of procedures involving human embryonic stem cells or cells that are grown from human embryonic stem cells is a violation" of the EU directive.
The European Patent Office (EPO) has taken the provisions of the EU's biotech directive into account and transposed them into the European Patent Convention (EPC).
In 2008, the European Patent Office (EPO) decided not to patent the development of human stem cell cultures whose preparation involves the destruction of embryos.

They said it themselves. I showed them gnome, kde and xfce and they chose which one they liked. Any if them would do but gnome was closest to what they liked put of box so they went with it.
Style is matter of personal taste. They liked. Gnome because of its launcher. You click activities and up comes a launcher with favourite apps and an expose-style view of all their open windows.
The way they view an OS is that it launches their apps. Besides launching apps they barely do anything else with the desktop or os itself. They also open all windows maximised all the time and even worked that way in XP--shortcuts on the desktop for all the apps they used and maximised all their windows. In that way gnome3 suits them. We don't all work the same way.

Salisbury University Social Work Department 1101 Camden Ave. Salisbury, MD 21801 Phone: 410-543-6305 Fax: 410-677-5305 email@example.com
Participating in clubs are a key part of the student experience at Salisbury University. There are several clubs across the SU campus that students can become involved in. In the Social Work Department, we have two student clubs: the Social Work Student Association and the National Social Work Honor Society - Phi Alpha.
Participating in these clubs are a great way to meet other students and faculty, while also becoming more involved with the larger community.
The Undergraduate Social Work Club was recently renamed the Social Work Student Association. Members take an active role in the leadership of the organization. They work to develop effective and meaningful service and fund-raising activities that benefit the larger community. Its not all work though! Members also find time to participate in fun activities to help foster a strong connection among students. Be on the lookout for announcements in your University e-mail! The advisor is Ms. Eileen Gilheany.
Phi-Alpha is the National Social Work Honor Society open to undergraduate and graduate students. Members of Phi-Alpha are outstanding students who are also committed to engaging in service activities that benefit the community. Please follow this link to find out more about the application process for membership in Phi-Alpha. The Phi-Alpha advisor is Karen McCabe.
Social Work Department Phi Alpha Honor Society Induction Ceremony (December 13th, 7:00 p.m.)– will be held during the Recognition Ceremony and will include all Phi Alpha inductees. During the ceremony inductees names will be announced and awardees will come forward onto the stage and be presented with their certificate and honor cord and take part in the candle-lighting and pledge recitation. This is a smaller, more personal ceremony than commencement and offers great photo opportunities with family, friends, faculty and classmates!. Inductees can wear their cap and gown or appropriate dress for this special occasion. Participation is voluntary, but you won't want to miss it!

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-13687 RIN 3235-AK61 Release No. 33-9408, IA-3616 IC-30551 File No. S7-03-13 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Proposed rule. Comments should be received on or before September 17, 2013. 17 CFR Parts 210, 230, 239, 270, 274 and 279 The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission" or "SEC") is proposing two alternatives for amending rules that govern money market mutual funds (or "money market funds") under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The two alternatives are designed to address money market funds' susceptibility to heavy redemptions, improve their ability to manage and mitigate potential contagion from such redemptions, and increase the transparency of their risks, while preserving, as much as possible, the benefits of money market funds. The first alternative proposal would require money market funds to sell and redeem shares based on the current market-based value of the securities in their underlying portfolios, rounded to the fourth decimal place ( e.g., $1.0000), i.e., transact at a "floating" net asset value per share ("NAV"). The second alternative proposal would require money market funds to impose a liquidity fee (unless the fund's board determines that it is not in the best interest of the fund) if a fund's liquidity levels fell below a specified threshold and would permit the funds to suspend redemptions temporarily, i.e., to "gate" the fund under the same circumstances. Under this proposal, we could adopt either alternative by itself or a combination of the two alternatives. The SEC also is proposing additional amendments that are designed to make money market funds more resilient by increasing the diversification of their portfolios, enhancing their stress testing, and increasing transparency by requiring money market funds to provide additional information to the SEC and to investors. The proposal also includes amendments requiring investment advisers to certain unregistered liquidity funds, which can resemble money market funds, to provide additional information about those funds to the SEC.

Every Monday, we'll be letting you know about new releases the editors at O and Oprah.com couldn't stop reading. This week, we've been moved by the Chinese memoir:
The Little Red Guard By Wenguang Huang Memoirs are tricky to write, mostly because life just isn't that tidy. Events don't happen in the most compelling order, and people don't realize what they're supposed to in time to save the plot. In The Little Red Guard, however, Wenguang Huang manages to tell such a riveting, well-crafted story that it could be a novel were it not for the subtitle clarifying that erroneous assumption. Huang begins with his grandmother (by family memoir, he really means family; you get to know everyone, not just the narrator). She's afraid of being cremated and insists that her son, Huang's father, bury her the traditional way, complete with plot and coffin. Unfortunately, she lives in 1970s China, and the law dictates that everyone in town must be cremated to save land for the new apartment buildings needed for the new families to work in the new factories. Thus begins a struggle—at times comic and at times heartbreaking—which pits an elderly individual and the people who love her against an entire society. Some of the details of life in China at this period ring familiar (one example: the kids singing catchy tunes like "Down with Confucius, Oppose Old Rituals"), but the book roams backward and forward in time so adroitly that there are plenty of fresh and unforgettable revelations (for example, the description of the 1950s when, lacking a currency, the government paid people in sacks of flour). For anyone who has felt that they've given a bit too much of their comfort to their family, this book presents a new question: Did you spend more than a decade sleeping next to Grandma's coffin? Now that's an act that demonstrates not just respect—or gratitude or the crucial understanding that this will all make a great story much, much later—but also love.

Every time I talk to her I make some very awkward reference to it; yesterday we were chatting about weekend playdates, and I was saying, "Ugh, my husband is WORKING this weekend, so the kids need stuff to do, and I'm so TIRED," and then I immediately corrected myself, "But jeez, sorry, I shouldn't complain to you of all people!" and launched into a rousing round of I-don't-know-how-you-do-its. She smiled and said, very calmly, very magnanimously, "Oh, everyone has something." [something! A husband in Bahrain is "something!"] "And anyway I don't like when people don't complain -- it takes away my right to complain when I need to." I could have sworn the sunlight formed a halo around her hair. I maintain that I don't know how these army wives do it, since I am pretty convinced the world has ended when the dishwasher stops working and my husband isn't around to make the call to fix it. But they do, and some of them, like Jessie Knadler, even find the time, energy, and humor to blog about it. Jessie Knadler's great blog, Rurally Screwed, shares stories of how she (a former New York City magazine editor) has been raising her baby daughter alone on a farm in Virginia, while her husband has been deployed in Afghanistan for the past year. This blog is seriously addictive reading -- as is, I'm guessing, her new memoir. Most recently, Knadler has been sharing the story of her husband's homecoming (yay!) and the unexpected new family member he brought with him: Solha, the dog he rescued from Afghanistan. I can't imagine what Knadler has gone through this past year, or how it is to reunite with a husband after a year, but this dog I can wrap my mind around. Because she is crazy. Crazy dogs I get. Every Monday, we'll be letting you know about new releases the editors at O and Oprah.com couldn't stop reading. This week, we're floored by the engrossing new examination of our nation:
American Canopy by Eric Rutkow It's always interesting to examine the large and familiar through the lens of the small and unexpected. This is what made Mark Kurlansky's Cod so exciting: It revisited the history of the world through the harvesting of these large, white-fleshed fish. In American Canopy, first-time author Eric Rutkow views the discovery, survival and rise of the United States as a function of its trees—trees used to build royal masts for royal English ships, trees used to build turn-of-the-last-century rails across America, trees that did not catch fire during World War II, despite Japanese air balloons sent to do just that. In each case, trees are the resource that defines the economy, politics, culture and even national identity. His argument is interesting, of course (who doesn't love trees?). But it's Rutkow's eye for storytelling that keeps even those who don't normally read histories zipping through the pages. The book begins with a heartbreaking account of one of the world's oldest trees, a bristlecone pine that lived almost 5,000 years, "an organism already wizen when Columbus reached Hispaniola, middle-aged when Caesar ruled Rome, and starting life when the Sumerians created mankind's first written language," which was chopped down in 1964 because a grad student couldn't figure out how to examine its rings. Plenty of other tree lore is debunked and detailed: Washington's love, not of cherry trees, but of dogwoods and sassafras on his Mount Vernon estate; Johnny Appleseed's (nay, John Chapman's) cultivation of orchards for alcoholic ciders, not apples; Benjamin Franklin's efforts to save trees with the invention a super-efficient woodstove that no one used, preferring the huge (read: 4 by 8 feet) stone hearths of the day which "lost about 90 percent of the heat out the chimney"; FDR's failed attempt to transform the Great Plains into a forest. But equally fascinating and certainly more moving are the words of lesser-known folk like the 16th-century Englishman Richard Hakluyt, who saw the potential of such a resource, even if he was never able to make it across the ocean to see "the sweet woodes ... and divers other kindes of goodly trees" of the soon-to-be colonized New World.

Every Monday, we'll be letting you know about new releases the editors at O and Oprah.com couldn't stop reading. This week, we're floored by the subtle, moving story collection:
This Isn't the Sort of Thing That Happens to Someone Like You by Jon McGregor When you're reading a book of short stories, it's pretty common to dog-ear the corner of the story (or two or three) that really wins you over, that really makes you stop and say, "Ouch!" or "Wow!" or "Dear god, it really is all about forgiveness, isn't it?" This week, of the 29 stories in Jon McGregor's collection, I dog-eared 26. Let's add that I was not in the mood for short stories. I was in the mood to sit down with a nice thick novel for a few weeks and make friends. Further, the stories took place in rural, isolated eastern England. It is April and, in my world, still slightly chilly. I would have liked to read about someplace hot and lazy, a land of never-ending guacamole. And yet...each tale in this slim, elegant book does something most of us wish would happen to us in real life: It stops us in a humdrum moment and reveals how that small, unnoticed sliver of time can illuminate an entire life. Some examples: A long-married man decides to tell his wife about a hit-and-run accident that happened on their first date. A widow realizes an old flame has come to visit not to woo her but to ask for money (and something even more offensive). Plenty of other authors can pinpoint these moments too. But McGregor has a casual yet audacious way of dropping you in at exactly the right pause, as if you were falling into water without the sound of a splash, then carried briskly along. When a father comes to see his son's school play, the action begins: "They told him he wasn't allowed on the school premises. They didn't even use the word 'allowed' to start off with, they just said they thought it would be better if he didn't come in." We readers don't know who "they" are, but we quickly find out—and we also quickly find out why he should not go inside (the reason is painful, so please prepare yourself). Some of the stories are as straightforward as ones you might tell yourself; others explore the unexpected, like the one where a page is narrated by the husband, and the opposite is narrated by the wife, who is trying to write a poem. However, the great triumph here is that nothing confuses or distracts or even seems out of the ordinary. Booker-nominated McGregor proceeds with such clarity and such confidence in our daily lives. No houses burn down, and no vampires seduce the local teenage beauty. The magic here is in the field or sea or window, starting with the first two-page masterpiece in which a husband listens to his wife exclaiming about the colors of fall, colors they have discussed over and over during a lifetime together—and he feels for her hand and holds it, saying, "But tell me again." Read More The April O magazine book list! Novels that will get you outside Jerry Seinfeld once said that trying Pop-Tarts for the first time as a kid "blew the back of my head off." And though I haven't touched Pop-Tarts for the better part of a decade, suddenly foodie versions of the foil-wrapped breakfast treats are everywhere: At a recent festival, I feasted on San Francisco-based Black Jet Bakery's flaky, buttery pastry dough enveloping pockets of brown sugar, apricot jam or—brace yourself—jalapeno-cream-cheese, which was as scrumptious as it sounds strange. A good friend served a platter of vanilla-glazed, jam-stuffed toaster pastries from the famous Boston bakery Flour at her birthday party, in lieu of a cake. While shopping for gift ideas for my has-everything-she'll-ever-need mother, I saw a toaster pastry press at Williams Sonoma. So when Alana Chernila's new book, The Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making, landed on my desk—with a picture of powdered sugar-dusted toaster pastries on the cover, no less!—I was ready to take the hint. Where would you be without your library? I had occasion this week to visit the library I grew up visiting, and passing by a particular shelf in the children's section I happened to glimpse the exact set of ancient hardbound Oz books that I devoured as a kid. I had a kind of sensory flashback: the scent of the yellowed paper, the art deco-weirdness of the illustrations. Even the slightly reverential act of kneeling -- they were on the bottom shelf. The excitement of being done with one and moving on to the next (even then, at 9 or 10, I knew there was something great about being able to say, "Oh, The Wizard of Oz? Sure, that one's good, but do you mean to say you haven't read Rinkitink in Oz?"). I discovered so many books at that library, and thus so many (fictional) friends, and it was because I loved reading that I wanted to become a writer.
What about you? Where would you be without your library? This is the question posed by the tiny M.N. Spear Library of Shutesbury, MA as they try to raise money for a new building. Their 900-square-foot library is a center of community life, but lacks space for studying, story times, and is hopelessly outdated -- they don't even have running water. Here is the charming video filmmaker Lindsay Van Dyke made, with the help of local library patrons, which states the case for why this small town needs a new library: It happens to be, right now, an uncanny nexus of National Library Week AND National School Library Month. I know, I know, we all read books on kindles and write novels via text and memoirs on Twitter, but still, as the video above demonstrates, there is nothing quite like a brick-and-mortar library. Nothing like finding a book by accident, or being drawn to a crackly spine for an unknown reason; nothing like losing oneself in a quiet corner studying or reading. My current library life is, in fact, nothing like this at all, but one of rowdy story times and chewed-up board books -- important, too, in its way. What about you? Where would you be without your library? Post to M.N. Spear Library's Tumblr or in the comments below! Read More: Every Monday, we'll be letting you know about new releases the editors at O and Oprah.com couldn't stop reading. This week, we're obsessed with the gripping, beautiful novel:
The Land of Decoration by Grace McCleen "I know about faith," says 10-year-old Judith McPherson. "The world in my room is made out of it. Out of faith I stitched the clouds. Out of faith I cut the moon and stars." The world she speaks of is a diorama of the universe (including miniature planets, oceans, factories, rabbits and dragons) that she's built in her room out of orange peels, soda caps, twigs, pipe cleaners and other odds and bits. She calls this world the Land of Decoration after a passage in Ezekiel, and it's there that she plays the imaginary games that all children play: making snow fall, sailing hot-air balloons over the rooftops. But Judith isn't like other children. Her mother is dead, and she and her father belong to a strict religious sect that believes the Armageddon is just around the corner. School, naturally, is an endless loop of teasing, spitballs and other emotional torments until one particularly committed bully focuses on her—turning this book into a much larger, very adult story about violence and fear. In many ways, it's suspense—is Judith going to get hurt?—that keeps you tearing though the pages (be prepared for the complete and total devastation of your social life; once you pick up this novel, you will not be able to do anything until you finish). However, even if you were not afraid for her, you would want to spend the rest of your life listening to her speak. The differences that make her a pariah at school are the differences that make her a delight on the page. This isn't a child like the other children in books—say, the unbelievably smart ones who can lecture on astronomy and rare stamps. This is a regular old child—a loving, confused, tenderhearted little person, who is trying, like all of us, to make some sense of out of this life. Her mistakes along the way will sometimes make you laugh or wince—for example, when she believes God is talking to her—but they will also makes you gasp with delight because, as she says, "Faith is like imagination. It sees something where there is nothing, it takes a leap, and suddenly you are flying." Read More The one experience every reader needs to have The star of The Hunger Games talks books
And yet...I remain the most gullible, trickable, April's Fools-able person in the world, and why it was with great horror that I read the National Poetry Foundation's announcement that they were cancelling National Poetry Month, which happens every April. (Spoiler alert: it was published on April 1st. You know. April Fool's Day.) "Poetry has a presence in every part of American life?!" I read aloud, disgusted. "Instead, they are going to have 'an annual month of attention to film, topped off with an awards show in Los Angeles, to take place in February each year?!' Are they kidding??" Well, yes. Yes they were. And once my brain started working gooder again, I couldn't stop laughing at the post. It's really worth the read. And like all great satire, not only does it make us laugh, it makes us think. Why should it seem so absurd, as the post suggests, that there would be reality shows about writers? That major news shows should debate who really wrote Shakespeare's plays? Will it ever be the case that poetry really is as ubiquitiously-loved as film? I dunno. While the idea of reading poetry can intimidate me, I also know that there's nothing like that feeling of finding the right poem at the right moment, reading a line that makes you feel all sparkly, discovering that some poet you've never met has expressed a feeling you've often had with gorgeous precision. As I once said, "It is difficult / to get the news from poems / yet men die miserable every day / for lack / of what is found there." Or wait, maybe that was William Carlos Williams.
Unfortunately, this does not mean you can actually step into your favorite fictional world, a la Gumby (I know, I was disappointed at first too). But darn close! Users can check out their book club's next pick (or a favorite book, or one you'd like to read) and find an interactive list of people, places, and things that appear in the book. A fun, new way to think about a book, but also a way to guide your reading -- for example, users can browse all books that mention Zeus, or California, or Coca-Cola. Share it at your book club's next meeting...or keep it to yourself, and make it seem like you just did some really awesomely close reading.

Annual survey by the National Restaurant Association shows gluten-free dishes, non-wheat noodles and healthy kids' meals will remain "hot" in restaurants in 2013.
Gluten-free dining is holding steady in restaurants, according to the National Restaurant Association's (NRA) annual chef survey. Each year, NRA surveys professional chefs from the American Culinary Federation (ACF) to get their take on what's "Yesterday's News," "What's Hot" and what will be a "Perennial Favorite" among diners.
According to the survey, 74% of chefs believe "gluten-free cuisine" will continue to be a top trend in 2013, ranking it as #8 on the "What's Hot" chart. Only 14% categorized gluten-free as "Yesterday's News" while 11% say it is here to stay, marking it as a "Perennial Favorite." Gluten-free was ranked #4 in the top "Culinary Themes" for 2013.
Non-wheat noodles, pastas and whole grains are also forecasted to be top trends in 2013. When looking at the predicted trends for the upcoming year, chefs ranked non-wheat flour at #4 in the "Other Food Items/Ingredients" category and non-wheat noodles and pasta came in as the #1 hot trend for the "Sides/Starches" category. Quinoa is gaining interest and was ranked #3 in the same category.
Also noteworthy is the rise of the "Healthful Kids' Meals" trend and "Hyper-Local Sourcing" coming in at the #3 and #7 slots respectively in the overall "Hot Trends." This can be seen as good news for the gluten-free community as locally sourced ingredients allow consumers to have easier access to the producers to better understand what ingredients are in a product. Adding to healthy kids' meals movement, the chefs predict "Fruit/Vegetable Children's Side Items" will be a 2013 trend, meaning more naturally gluten-free foods may be available in restaurants.
While it is encouraging to see gluten-free as an overall trend and alternative grains trending in the restaurant scene, cross-contamination is still a risk for gluten-free diners. With proper training, however, this risk can be minimized so gluten-free diners can feel more comfortable eating out. The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) urges restaurants to establish safe gluten-free food preparation protocols with the help of NFCA's GREAT Kitchens training program.

Spyware and viruses can interfere with your computer's ability to process information or can modify or destroy data. You may feel that the more anti-virus and anti-spyware programs you install on your computer, the safer you will be. It is true that not all programs are equally effective, and they will not all detect the same malicious code. However, by installing multiple programs in an attempt to catch everything, you may introduce problems.
It is important to use anti-virus and anti-spyware software (see Understanding Anti-Virus Software and Recognizing and Avoiding Spyware for more information). But too much or the wrong kind can affect the performance of your computer and the effectiveness of the software itself.
Using anti-virus and anti-spyware software is an important part of cyber security. But in an attempt to protect yourself, you may unintentionally cause problems.
Scanning your computer for viruses and spyware uses some of the available memory on your computer. If you have multiple programs trying to scan at the same time, you may limit the amount of resources left to perform your tasks. Essentially, you have created a denial of service against yourself (see Understanding Denial-of-Service Attacks for more information). It is also possible that in the process of scanning for viruses and spyware, anti-virus or anti-spyware software may misinterpret the virus definitions of other programs. Instead of recognizing them as definitions, the software may interpret the definitions as actual malicious code. Not only could this result in false positives for the presence of viruses or spyware, but the anti-virus or anti-spyware software may actually quarantine or delete the other software.
