Is It a Sweet Potato or Yam?As easy as it may seem to grab a bag of sweet potatoes in your local market and get cooking, you may be a little confused if you see something that looks like a sweet potato labeled in your store as a yam. Is a yam and a sweet potato the same thing? Today, it is. Although there are some botanical differences that actually put them into two different families, the sweet potatoes, or yams, you see in your grocery store are the same vegetable.
Historically, yams, which are grown in Africa, tend to be starchier and softer, while sweet potatoes are less starchy and firmer. If you were to go to an international market, chances are you would be able to find a true yam, but those found in grocery stores across the country - whether they be called a yam or a sweet potato - will almost always be the traditional sweet potato served most often on Thanksgiving.
Tips for Buying Sweet PotatoesWhen purchasing sweet potatoes, be sure to look out for ones that are firm and free of any major blemishes. These will tend to last longer than ones that have been damaged. Once purchased, keep in a cool, dry area of your home, preferably in a cardboard box and not in plastic. An ideal temperature would be below 60 degrees. If kept in warmer temperatures, sweet potatoes may only last about a week, compared to a month in cooler temps.
Middle Eastern Sweet Potato RecipesNow that you've purchased your sweet potatoes and have them on hand, you're ready to begin choosing a recipe or two to incorporate them into your Thanksgiving menu. Although you can prepare traditional candied sweet potatoes, it's just as easy, if not easier, to give them a Middle Eastern twist and carry on, or create, your own traditional dishes. If you're looking for some delicious Middle Eastern uses for sweet potatoes, then look no further!
Sweet Potato Hummus: This recipe allows a traditional Middle Eastern dish to be flavored with a true Thanksgiving tradition - candied sweet potatoes. The addition of sweet potatoes and brown sugar to regular hummus livens up the dip to compete with the best of Thanksgiving appetizers. Mashed Sweet Potatoes: Instead of standard mashed potatoes, try mashed sweet potatoes! Not only will they lend some amazing flavor to your meal, but they'll add to the ambiance with their orange color, popular during the Autumn months. Sweet Potatoes with Pomegranate Glaze:Sweet potatoes with a pomegranate glaze are prepared similarly to candied sweet potatoes, but this recipe will give you a completely different flavor. While brown sugar is used, the flavor of the pomegranate really stands out and turns and ordinary dish into something extraordinary.
Looking for Something More Traditional?If you would like to stick to more traditional American sweet potato recipes, be sure to check out these delicious dishes from other About.com food guides! No matter how you prepare them, sweet potatoes are practically an essential part of your holiday table.

For all of you Sasquatch, Skookum, Skunk Ape, Yeti and Bigfoot fans, your odds of catching the giant ape-like creature may increase with this map of all 3,313 alleged sightings. A doctoral candidate created the map to pinpoint likely Bigfoot habitats.
Joshua Stevens, a student at Pennsylvania State University, used data compiled by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), which tries to document "the presence of an animal, probably a primate, that exists today in very low population densities," according to the group's website.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The
Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has upheld the life prison sentence
of a 30-year-old man who was convicted of first-degree murder in the
death of a man in Altus.
The five-judge court unanimously affirmed the conviction and sentence of Patrick Robinson in a decision made public Friday.
A jury in Jackson County
found Robinson guilty in the May 2009 shooting, stabbing death and
robbery of 34-year-old Hai Phan outside a southwest Altus apartment
Robinson acknowledged he was a drug dealer but said he did not know his four co-defendants planned to rob Phan.
One co-defendant pleaded
guilty to murder and conspiracy in the case and is serving a life
sentence. The others pleaded guilty to charges ranging from conspiracy
to commit robbery to being an accessory.

After Diane Keaton gave a somewhat bizarre ode to Cecile B. DeMille Award winner Woody Allen at the Golden Globes (that concluded in an a cappella rendition of the children's song "Make New Friends, But Keep the Old"), L'Oréal immediately came in with a perfectly timed commercial starring the actress.
The Twitterverse had mixed reviews:
Worst commercial placement ever. Diane Keaton wrinkled on #GoldenGlobes then ageless and wrinkle-free in L'Oreal wrinkle serum commercial.—
Gregg Giannillo (@Giannillo) January 13, 2014
Whoever set this L'Oreal ad w/Diane Keaton to air at the exact moment when everyone was going, "Wow, Diane Keaton looks great," is a genius.—
Bridget Smith (@bredalot) January 13, 2014
Diane Keaton's L'Oreal Commercial is much better than her Woody Allen tribute.—
Lou Lumenick (@LouLumenick) January 13, 2014
After seeing the Diane Keaton L'Oréal commercial, it's very apparent there's no filter on the #GoldenGlobes cameras.—

Newberry, SC (WLTX) -- When Lee Foster was elected Sheriff of Newberry County, he contacted friend and SC Criminal Justice Academy Instructor Jerry Wright to join him as Chief Deputy.
Sheriff elect Foster was to continue to serve the county that he lived in and loved his entire life. For Wright, the scenario was different.
"Jerry was a good friend, leader, and had outstanding abilities in law enforcement," said Sheriff Foster. "He was a natural selection and the last 24 years have served as affirmation time and time again of that decision."
Jerry Wright began his law enforcement career in 1974 as a deputy with the Lexington County Sheriff's Office. Wright quickly moved through the ranks from patrol, investigations, to second in command of the warrant division.
In 1985, Wright left the Lexington County Sheriff's Office to become an instructor at the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy.
There he served as an instructor on firearms, driving, and practical problems. Wright's leadership and foresight is still seen at the police academy as a version driving course he designed while at the academy is still in use today. Every police officer certified in South Carolina has had to complete this course to become certified since 1986. It was at the academy that Wright became friends with Lee Foster, who was also an instructor at the academy at that time.
When Sheriff Foster was elected Sheriff, he asked his friend Jerry Wright to move to Newberry County and become his Chief Deputy. Wright talked about the decision with his wife, Judy, and they decided he would accept the offer. Wright describes the decision as one of the best he ever made.
"I did not have the privilege of growing up in Newberry County, but I am so thankful that my family is now able to call Newberry County home," said Wright. "This is an absolutely wonderful community and I thank God for the people, our church, and all that makes Newberry County so special."
During his law enforcement career, Jerry Wright has been instrumental to every major criminal investigation of the Sheriff's Office. His thoughtful insight and input has been extremely important to many investigations such as the Vicki Lander Beckham murder case as well as many others. Wright's law enforcement abilities are seen in every aspect of his job performance and he has brought great changes to many aspects of the Newberry County Sheriff's Office during his time as Chief Deputy.
Jerry Wright has been named the Law Enforcement Officer of the year by the Newberry Exchange Club, Midlands Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 1, and the State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police.
Wright has also been extremely active with the Fraternal Order of Police. Wright said that he joined the organization 1976 and has been a member since that time. He has served as local Lodge President for 10 years, State Secretary, State Vice President, and was the State President for 11 years. He has also served on the National Board of Directors for 23 years.
Jerry and his wife Judy have been married 34 years and now they make their home in Chappells. They have two children who are now grown, Clay and Nikki. Clay serves in the United States Marine Corps and Nikki makes her home in Ninety Six.
Jerry Wright holds a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Professional Sciences from the University of South Carolina.
Wright will retire on December 31 after 38 years in law enforcement. Wright says that he wants to spend time playing golf and traveling with his wife.
"Jerry Wright's contributions to law enforcement and to Newberry County will be felt long after he is gone," said Sheriff Foster. "He has truly been a major factor in making the Newberry County Sheriff's Office one of South Carolina's premiere law enforcement agencies and I along with every officer of the Newberry County Sheriff's Office would like to say thank you and pray God's richest blessings for Jerry and his family as they enter into this new chapter of their life."
Sheriff Foster has named Jerry Wright Chief Deputy Emeritus, meaning he is retired but will maintain the professional title as a symbol of honor and respect for a job extremely well done.
When asked about a reflection of his law enforcement career, Wright said, "It has not always been easy, but it has always been rewarding. I have made many life-long friends and it has been an amazing journey."
Jerry plans to continue to make his home in the Chappells section of Newberry County saying, "This is now home to me and my family."
There will be a drop in for Chief Deputy Emeritus Jerry Wright on Thursday, January 3 at the Newberry County Court House Annex from 2-4 PM. The drop in is open to the public.

PITTMAN, N.J. (AP) - A police department in southern New Jersey wants to start a K-9 unit but it needs to raise money to do so.
So police in the town of Pittman are starting by selling T-shirts and hooded sweatshirts.
Their K-9 Supporter shirts come in either blue or pink. They feature a picture of a German shepherd with the words "Protector of the Innocent" and "Capturer of Criminals."
Orders must be placed at the police station.
Pittman police say they want a K-9 unit in part to battle increased drug crime, the South Jersey Times reports.

Three men have been arrested in connection with a pizza delivery driver robbery.
Madison County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a robbery call Wednesday at 10 p.m. on Crab Apple Drive.
The victim, a delivery driver for Domino's Pizza, told deputies he was held at gunpoint and forced into a vehicle. The offenders made him take off his pants and then let him out of the vehicle.
The victim said the robbers demanded his wallet, cash, a pizza, his shoes and his cell phone.
Deputies located three suspects on Alabama A&M campus later Wednesday night.
Dezmond Calhoun, Javarian Powell, and Quinton Fuller,were all charged with first degree robbery and first degree kidnapping. Powell and Fuller are students at Alabama A&M.
The three suspects are also being investigated by the Huntsville Police Department for robberies in their jurisdiction.
Delivery drivers must always unfortunately be on guard when they go about their duties. Jim Brown, President of Marco's Pizza, said an incident like this hits home.
"The Domino's driver was just trying to earn a living. That's all he is trying to do. And these guys - these knuckleheads - completely disrupt his life. Hopefully it is not going to impact him going forward," said Brown.
Brown remembered a similar incident with his staff that happened a few days prior. He said someone called to place a late delivery from a blocked number. The man on the line began asking odd questions, such as how late they could deliver, and if they would deliver if his porch light was out.
Brown said his employee got the person's address but was suspicious, so he did some investigating of his own.
"We haven't had an order from that address in over a year, and it turns out that after going by it, the house is for rent. No one is living there. And he made a comment that, if you deliver to me, my porch light won't be on because my light doesn't work. My daughter, who actually took the call, said if you call us back, call from a number that is not private or blocked. Then he hung up," Brown said.
Brown teaches his employees that after years in the business, he knows some of the warning signs. Not taking orders from blocked numbers is rule number one. He said that although they've been lucky enough not to have any of their employees robbed, the recent robberies still hit close to home.
"We are very diligent in following safety and security procedures: make sure our drivers don't carry a lot of money with them, make sure lights are on at the customer's address, that we have a valid phone number, that our drivers are aware of their surroundings when they get out of their car," said Brown.
All three men involved in the Domino's driver robbery were booked into the Madison County Jail with bonds totaling $120,000.

I'd like to blame the Toddler for this mac & cheese post. But the truth is, I'm the mac & cheese eater of the house. I often joke that my "Emergency Kit" contains a cake mix, a box of shells & cheese, and a bag of Funyuns. If by "joke" I mean that's exactly what's in the back corner of the bottom shelf of my pantry. Right this second.
Stove top mac & cheese is as easy as pouring yellow powder and milk over pasta. Or squeezing yellow stuffs out of a foil packet. It's also as easy as stirring pasta water, yogurt, and grated cheese together. Our favorite stove top macaroni & cheese recipe goes a little something like this:
We use American cheese instead of cheddar for that classic "yellow" mac & cheese. It melts like a dream, which is why it's the secret behind velvety smooth chile con quesos. Buy it in block form or get extra thick slices from the deli to shred at home but don't buy it pre-shredded (heavenly melting experience not guaranteed if you do). And really it's closer to 7 ounces instead of 8 – the Toddler can spot cheese from half a mile away and usually insists on at least one quality assurance sample. If American cheese completely weirds you out (it really is cheese!), try a Cheddar-Fontina split like we use here. And here. You can usually use as much as 5-6 oz cheddar or Monterrey Jack but your sauce won't be smooth if you go any more than that. American (white or yellow) or Fontina are really good options for the other 2-3 oz.
We make our macaroni & cheese with fat-free Greek yogurt in the cheese sauce. I like that it's thick, creamy, and loaded with protein and not fat. It makes a super creamy cheese sauce but mostly I like the extra little sharpness it adds to the dish, something otherwise lacking in the absence of cheddar cheese.
We use a "healthy" pasta. Or healthy-ish. Healthier? The brand we use advertises only 5 net grams of carbs. And we all know how much we love our carbs around here -
If I'm making mac & cheese, baked or stove top, it's usually a one dish meal. And that's where chicken and peas come in. Lots of peas and a cup of leftover shredded chicken if we have any from a previous night.
Stove Top Macaroni & Cheese
A quick and easy creamy mac & cheese that's made with Greek yogurt - pure comfort food and still relatively healthy.
- 8 oz macaroni pasta
- 8 oz American cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (I use 0% Fage)
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 cup shredded leftover chicken (optional)
- Cook macaroni pasta for 8-10 minutes in salted water, until al dente.
- Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining the pasta.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
- Add 1/4 cup pasta water, the yogurt, and 1/3 of the grated cheese and stir until the cheese has melted.
- Stir in remaining cheese, one small handful at a time to prevent clumping.
- Add additional pasta water as necessary to thin the cheese sauce.
- Stir in peas and chicken, if using, and serve warm.
- To reheat, microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between. If you think it needs it, add a tablespoon or two of skim milk or water. It's usually creamy enough after it's heated thoroughly but it's up to you.
Yields: 3-4 main servings
Estimated time: 30 minutes
It was pointed out to me that this mac & cheese recipe is actually pretty Weight Watchers friendly. Using "5 grams of digestible carbs" Dreamfields pasta, the numbers come out to be:
Calories: 327.7
Fat: 12.6
Carbs: 9.6
Fiber: 4.8

That's with peas and chicken. Not too shabby for a nice-sized bowl of pure comfort!

Over the past couple of weeks, several reports have pointed to a potential fourth encounter between Randy Couture and Chuck Liddell in Germany in the summer of 2009.
Other reports surfaced shortly thereafter and claimed that neither Liddell or Couture were pleased with the prospect of fighting one another for a fourth time. Additionally, there have also been rumors of a possible superfight with Anderson Silva to take place in early 2009
Now, according to an interview with the UK-based Fighters Only, Liddell claims that no one has even talked to him about the prospect of fighting Silva or Couture.
"Nobody's talked to me at all about Randy or Anderson Silva in any recent talks," Liddell told the British publication. "I know there was something about me fighting (Silva) in February, that's definitely not true. I'm not fighting until March or April. The rumor about me and Randy in June, no one's said a word to me, and I don't want to wait until June to fight. So we'll wait to see what happens and I'm gonna talk to Dana (White) about that. I haven't heard anything about it. I don't know where it came from or who was talking about it, but to me at this point it doesn't make sense."
It's unclear as to who Liddell will fight in the coming year as there are only a few options. A potential rematch against the winner of Wanderlei Silva vs. Quinton Jackson fight is always a possibility. Liddell's fight against Silva was one of the best fights of 2007 and a rematch would likely produce fireworks again. A rematch with Jackson would allow Liddell a final chance at redemption against the man who took his title from him as Jackson has beaten him twice before.
I think a fight with the loser of Rampage/Silva would be "fairer" to other fighters in the division, especially the ones who have been winning fights.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Franklin, Shogun, Henderson…there are a lot of great fightas out there in the 205 div. without recycling fights that won't have any real effect on the rankings
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Chuck Liddell probably wants Dana to make a call to Vernon"Tiger'White.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Chuck fights Forrest in March/April if Forrest loses to Rashad… Big, big fight.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
chuck does not deserve another title shot.
the only possible rematch I want to see him n is with wandy.
put him up against the loser of franklin hendo.
the loser of that to matt hamil.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
i thank chuck should fight keith jarddine
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
I think Chuck should fight some more like Thiago Silva. That would be a nice fight.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0

Imagine being able to hop on a ten-speeder in Bristol and work your way around Bensalem, up to Newtown, through Doylestown, detouring into Warminster and eventually ending up in Quakertown, all while traveling on either shared roadways or bike trails.
This vision of an interconnected network of bike trails that weaves a web all around Bucks County gained the unanimous approval of the Bucks County Commissioners Wednesday morning.
"This would be a great asset for Bucks," said Rob Loughery, who was re-appointed chairman of the commissioners on Monday.
With the plan approved, it's now time to implement it throughout the county's 54 municipalities. That's where a Bucks County Task Force hopes to step in.
Formed in 2008, the 10 members of the Bucks County Bicycle Task Force formulated a comprehensive plan for a county-wide network of bike paths and facilities that would make bike travel around Bucks easier and more attractive.
According to the 200+ page master plan, the county came up with the blueprint, but it's up to individual townships or boroughs to put the pieces together at their own reasonable speed.
"To be able to achieve this long range vision," the plan says, "the foundation for the overall bicycle network will need to be developed by the local municipalities through defining and implementing their own municipal or multi-municipal bicycle master plan."
The members of the task force developed a toolkit, or guidelines and resources for the municipalities and their planning commissions to use while formulating development plans. Wider shoulders, more shared use signs and smoother paths are just a few of the recommendations that city planners are advised to keep in mind.
The trail plan created 12 major spines, or paths, that would serve as the backbone for the network, with smaller subdivisions, or spokes, sprinkled along the way. Of those 12, the task force identified three that they feel are high-priority projects:
- A Doylestown/New Hope Connector that will provide a link between the end of the new Route 202 Parkway and New Hope, creating a cross country bike route in Central Bucks.
- A Levittown/Woodbourne Connector that would link the Levittown and Woodbourne SEPTA stations, providing a critical bicycle route for Lower Bucks County.
- Quakertown Trail which would connect to Lehigh County through the Saucon Rail Trail.
The task force also plans to forge partnerships with organizations that can help educate the public and generate excitement and interest in the bike trail network.
The study cites several bike groups that already exist in and around the county, including the Central Bucks Bicycle Club and the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia. The economic, environmental and physical advantages of the activity has helped create more interest in recreational bicycling, the study says.
"If bicycling is to become widespread throughout Bucks County," the study says, "a move must be made to make the County a more bicycle friendly environment, including improved and additional facilities, additional bicycle amenities and increased education and safety opportunities."

Why The Options Trading Platform You Use Can Influence Trading Performance
Of all the things to consider when selecting a binary broker, the trading platform is an important consideration. This is what you will use to buy your contracts with your broker. It is important because you will need to have accurate pricing when trading. The real time nature of markets means that it is important to access to a fast and responsive trading platform which you can use to execute your orders.
Many brokers make use of the Spot Option platform for their clients. This is a generic options trading platform that they are then able to badge with the brokers livery. While you would expect performance to be similar across all of these platforms, this is not necessarily the case. You will also need to factor in the speed of the servers which the broker uses as this will have an impact on execution time.
Other brokers make use of in house developed platforms. These are unique and can, in some instances offer distinct advantages for trading clients. They are far easier to integrate specific client features in and the broker maintains more control of the facilities offered.
If you want to find out more about the facilities on offer from a binary broker offering a bespoke platform for their clients, then you can read more here http://www.binary-brokers.com/24option-review/.

I have been reading many recipes with candy in cookies, brownies or cake. I have made cookies with candy lentils and they were cute but not the same as, chocolate in chocolate. I had chocolate fudge candies in the house that I certainly should not eat, plus the man of the house does not like chocolate, so I baked the brownies. You would think, I would be smarter. Now, instead of indulging on the candies, I was eating the brownies and the candy. No, I did not eat them all.
The candy adds a wonderful burst of flavor to the brownie. Suddenly, my mouth was filled with a wonderful sweet taste—-like chocolate fudge, melted. Of course, that is what it is but who expected this? Delicious does not have enough meaning for these. The candy leaves pocket of rich chocolate throughout the brownies and when you get one of these pockets and there are about 30 of them in an 8 x 8 square tin of brownies, you get that special smooth taste.
Candy Filled Brownies
spray cooking oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup melted margarine
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract ( I love vanilla.)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon milk
3/4 cup gluten-free flour mix (3 parts brown rice flour, 1 part potato starch, 1/3 part tapioca flour )
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 fudge squares, cut into small pieces
Spray an 8 inch square pan with cooking oil and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Using a mixer, cream together the melted margarine and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Then add the vanilla and milk.
Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the liquid ingredients to this bowl.
Add the pieces of candy and just stir to combine.
Pour batter into the pan and bake 30-35 minutes.
Cool completely. Cut into squares.

More homes may be forced on Colchester if Tendring fails to meet its quota (From Essex County Standard)

More homes may be forced on Colchester if Tendring fails to meet its quota
6:00am Friday 7th February 2014 in News
Colchester could be forced to allow thousands of extra homes if neighbouring Tendring fails to meet its Government quota.
At Monday's Local Plan Committee words such as "parasite" and "infernal cheek" were used to described Tendring and its draft local plan, which sets out how it will meet the criteria of building about 10,000 new homes between 2014 and 2029.
Colchester Council estimates the plan leaves a shortfall 4,650 homes and planners fear this could mean additional homes could have to be built in Colchester.
It is also worried about the West Tendring site which borders Colchester and is earmarked for development post 2024.
The area includes the site off St Andrew's Avenue, where 3,000 homes could be built and the extension of the Plains Farm estate.
Councillors Ray Gamble and Paul Smith, who represent the Colchester St John's ward which border the proposed areas, put forward their views to the committee.
Mr Gamble said: "Anyone who has followed the saga, and I have tried to do so because I don't trust Tendring, will appreciate that our neighbours have been eyeing up our borders to satisfy their own economic development in a very predatory way."

After 2024 any development there would have to be done only with the cooperation of Colchetser Borough Council. At the moment there is no sign of that cooperation materialising in Colchester's site allocations for housing which are up for review in 2015.
So the idea in the headline that Tendring is forcing homes on Colchester is a bit OTT isn't it !

Headache-Inducing Foods
Try avoiding these common triggers.
From tension headaches to migraines, there are many varieties of head-pounding pain. And although several different triggers may be to blame, like stress and allergies, some experts believe that certain foods can cause headaches in some people. "It is not unusual at all for food to trigger migraines or other types of headaches," says Noah Rosen, MD, Director of the Headache Institute at North Shore-LIJ Health System in Long Island, New York.
Many migraine sufferers are willing to try an array of methods to get rid of the pain. In addition to other remedies, the Mayo Clinic suggests pinpointing foods that may be triggering the migraines. Common culprits include the sulfites commonly found in alcohol (especially beer and red wine) and chocolate. While sometimes used as a migraine treatment, too much caffeine, and even caffeine withdrawal, can cause headaches in many people. The artificial sweetener aspartame can also bring on a migraine.
Dr. Chris Iliades, MD, notes that aged cheese can cause your head to start hurting thanks to tyramine, a substance that forms as the proteins in cheese break down over time. The longer a cheese ages, the more tyramine it has. You may want to avoid blue cheese, Swiss, cheddar, Gouda and parmesan if you find you are among those sensitive to tyramine.
While bananas are a healthy snack, people sensitive to tyramine may want to avoid them also. Dr. Iliades notes that, like aged cheese, banana peels contain a significant amount of tyramine, around 10 times more than does the banana pulp. If you don't want to avoid bananas altogether, try weeding out those stringy pieces of inner peel. Dr. Iliades also points to monosodium glutamate (MSG), which can be found in soy sauce and as an additive in many other foods.
The Mayo Clinic notes that skipping meals can cause a headache or migraine, so if you want to avoid one of the above foods, try to find a better alternative rather than missing out on a snack or meal. The best way to tell if specific foods are causing you headaches is to keep a food and headache diary. Keeping track of what you eat and when you suffer from headaches can help you and your doctor detect possible food reactions.
For more information about headache prevention, visit the Mayo Clinic at www.mayoclinic.com/health/chronic-daily-headaches/DS00646/DSECTION=prevention.

Networking is about making connections that ultimately can help you find the resources you need to be successful- from planning, hiring the right staff, finding the best lawyer, or getting the marketing strategy right. "Working the crowd" sounds contrived, however, networking can be your best ally as you manage your startup. I recently sat on a panel at the Levin Institute about the value of networking to a group of corporate refugees who are considering entrepreneurship as a next step. There were a lot of nervous faces in the audience about the prospect of having to go out and 'network.' It was amazing how many people considered networking to be the domain of the "masters of socialization." I think we succeeded in helping everyone better understand how to network more effectively in their own lives and get the results that they want.
Whether you describe yourself as an extrovert or an introvert there are common tips that I recommend to be a good networker:
1) 1 Event a Week: If you're just starting out, go to at least 1 networking event per week. You can always go to more but 'force' yourself to go even if you have a million reasons not to. Getting in the habit of weekly networking will help you both meet new people (or foster deeper connections with people you know) but will also help you think about new or better ways of doing things. If you're shy, then you may need to set goals. For example, make a point of talking to at least 3 people. Go to meetup.com to find networking events in your area.
2) Focus: Going to parties may be fun- and be a networking opportunity- but this doesn't necessarily count as your weekly networking. Think about the industry that you're in and go to events related to your business. The idea is to connect with people in your industry, share knowledge and learn about trends. Your time is limited so go to events that can help you on your startup journey.
3) Exchange Contact Info: While iPhone 'bumping' or beaming contact information is becoming more prevalent, get business cards. Even if you don't have a name for your business, include your name, email, and contact number. When you take cards, I like to write the date I met the person and anything relevant or interesting. (Usually once a month, I then enter the information into my contacts in Outlook.)
4) Offer to Help: When you meet people at these events- figure out how you can help them. Yes, you may need something but first listen and see how you can help the other person. I've often found this help can easily come in the form of making introductions. For example, I went to a StartOut.org networking event and met a lawyer, Chris, who, in the course of conversation, mentioned that he was looking for shared office space. I knew another attorney looking to rent an office, so I connected the two and they were a match. I helped two people. And, months later, when I needed a contract reviewed at a moment's notice, Chris happily offered to do it complimentary! So, you never know when your good karma pays off.
5) LinkedIn: Setting up an account on LinkedIn is simply the easiest (and free!) way to network. It's a fantastic service that lets you set up a profile and include professional credentials. It's fast becoming the tool that defines professional networking. If you don't have an account, set yours up today and then you can start 'connecting' with people you know, contacts you make at networking events, or contacts of your contacts. For example, when I was looking to hire a resource for my business, Wicked Start, I simply posted it in my account. Within hours, I had quality responses from dozens of prospective applicants. It was super easy! As your LinkedIn network grows, you'll have access to several resources to help you on your journey.
Remember, it's never too early to start networking. Best wishes for success and let me know of any successful networking tips that have worked for you!
Thanks for these tips, Bryan.
I especially like your first one: go to live events each week. That's an excellent way to become comfortable with networking. As a bonus, you build a network too :)
Follow-up is essential. The business cards (step 3) can be used to send invitations to connect on LinkedIn (step 5). You can then stay in touch with new connections prior to the next live encounter.
Bryan – Thanks for writing this article. You've provided some great tips on networking. I agree with you on business cards but I'd like to recommend an app for those who don't like keeping paper cards around. It's called CardMunch and it was acquired by Linkedin. Cardmunch is a quick and easy way to incorporate the data you have from the cards you collect while networking. I am extremely organized and diligent on getting card information into my address book. I used Mac so iCal is my friend :)
Networking is critical for any business to participate in. You might not get a lead right off the bat but you never know….down the road when you least expect it the phone will ring with a lead through a networking opportunity that you had months before.

CNN Correspondent Now the Communist Candidate in El Salvador
After a 12-year civil war and a peace undermined by soaring crime, leftists in El Salvador are on the verge of completing a remarkable journey from armed struggle to the presidential palace.Hat tip: 'The Gentleman from Lickskillet' comic strip's Steve Allen.
Their candidate is a veteran TV broadcaster and morning talk show host, Mauricio Funes, whose Facebook page lists his political views as "other." Funes, 49, a former correspondent for CNN en Español, was recently recruited by the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN), the revolutionary group-turned-mainstream political party that is favored by polls to win the presidency in a vote scheduled for March 15....
Funes considers himself to be El Salvador's Barack Obama -- an agent of change in a country beset by the highest murder rate in Latin America and an economy in free fall.
The comparison is overt: Funes and the FMLN use images of Obama in their ads (despite objections by the U.S. State Department), saying both candidates were smeared by their opponents as allies of extremists. The FMLN television spots complete the link by employing the Obama slogan in English and Spanish, vowing "Yes, we can!"...

Kure Beach Board Of Adjustment Rules On Fireplace And Well House

The Kure Beach Board of Adjustment recently upheld a ruling by the Town's building inspector regarding a new home with a cantilevered fireplace and well house located in the setbacks.
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
KURE BEACH - The Kure Beach Board of Adjustments upheld a ruling by Town Building Inspector John Batson regarding a home at 242 N. Third Ave. at their March 26, meeting.
The hearing was requested by Richard and Ann Lawing due to the building inspector ruling a well house and cantilevered fireplace were located within the required setbacks on the property.
Batson testified at the hearing, "The appeal before you today is for my interpretation of specific codes in our ordinances, and also for NC Building Code issues upon which the Board cannot rule. 242 N. 3rd Ave. is a brand new house that has been built by the Lawings. The house is located in B-2 Zoning District."
Batson explained, "In November, I was asked to complete a final inspection. The final inspection failed because I did not have a final as-built survey done on the property, and the landscaping was not installed. At that time, the Lawings asked me to turn on the power so that they could install the landscaping and water with an irrigation well. I obliged on the condition that I received the as-built survey first. On November 6th I received the as-built survey. I turned on the electricity as I said I would. Normally, I would have required a $1000 bond to do this since the final inspection had not been completed."
He explained, "After review of the as-built survey, I noticed that the well house was located inside the side setback, and the fireplace was hanging 2ft into the side setback. (This is a corner lot, and the side setback of issue is required to be 10'.) Additionally, I drove past the property and noticed multiple real estate signs, a cedar tree, and stakes in the Town right-of-way."
Batson said the well house covering irrigation well is covered by Town ordinance Sec. 19-320. - Control of setbacks, that says that the only structure that can be located in the setback is a fence or beach crossover.
Batson explained, "Fireplace hanging 2ft into side setback. Town ordinances do not provide for any cantilevers into the setback area. In the Lawing's defense, their building plans did show a fireplace on them, but the plot plan did not, neither did the final as-built survey. The purpose of the plot plans and surveys are to show me that impervious surface restrictions are being met, and the setbacks are being maintained. So anything covered by a roof, concrete or anything in the setback area should be noted on the survey."
He explained the Town ordinance Sec. 19-329. - Modification of required yards, does, "allow for some things to extend (18) eighteen inches into the setback. They are as follows."
The ordinance states, "Architectural features such as fire escapes, cornices, eaves, steps, gutters, buttresses, open or enclosed fire escapes, outside stairways, balconies, and similar features, but not carports or porches, may project not more than eighteen (18) inches into any required yard.
Batson said, "A fireplace is not in this list."
He explained that real estate signs couldn't be located in the Town's right-of-way.
He said a small cedar tree was addressed because it is located in Town right-of-way and has the potential of growing very large and creating visual difficulties at the intersection.
Batson explained, "The Lawings provided proof that they did not plant this tree. I am not withholding the C.O. for this tree removal."
Batson addressed other issues he said couldn't be ruled upon by the Board, but felt they needed to be addressed.
He explained, "The other issues that I had pointed out are from the North Carolina Building Code and cannot be ruled upon by the BOA. However, I will go through each of them since it was introduced as part of the appeal."
He said, "The Board is probably aware by now of the issue with the window. I broke a window during the framing inspection in July. When I do a framing inspection, part of the inspection includes looking at windows to make sure the right ones are being used. The new Impact Glass requirement is easy to test by lightly banging on the window. The difference between an impact glass window and a regular window is like hitting a brick wall, then hitting wooden wall. When I hit the top sash, it shattered. The impact pane was on the outside of the top sash of the brand of windows installed. I was told immediately by the Lawings that another window had come in broken, and that it would be replaced."
He explained, "On November 6th, the Lawings called the Mayor and informed him of the window and how I had broken it. The Mayor forwarded this on to my commissioner Emilie Swearingen. Ms. Swearingen told the Lawings that the Town would pay for the window. The Town sent a check to the Lawings on February 1st."
He explained, "My request for a receipt showing the windows bought and installed is purely for my protection as well as the Town's. While the windows appeared to be correct, the window that broke simply shouldn't have. It is a request that I have made numerous times of other contractors for other reasons."
Batson said he had inquiries as to whether the irrigation well was installed legally.
He explained, "Since the governing body for well installation is the NC Division of Water Quality, I've asked for a letter from them stating it is legally installed.
He said, "Furniture inside the house. The NC Building Code and Administrative Policies states that a Certificate of Occupancy must be issued prior to the building being occupied. Furniture within the building implies occupancy."
Batson said he wasn't sure how much of the fireplace overhang is in the setback. He said, "Judging by the as built survey the Lawings provided it appears to be two feet but when I requested that the survey be redone to include the fireplace is when the Lawings appealed to the Board of Adjustments."
He said he had not heard from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality about the status of the well.
When asked by the Board if the overhang was installed, "at the rough-in?" Batson explained, "It would have been there during the framing inspection, yes sir." He said the original building plans show the fireplace but the plot plan did not.
Property owner Ann Lawing said her husband Richard is the general contractor and has been building homes for over 40 years.
She said, "When John Batson came for a framing inspection on June 29th, he was mad because I had called five or six days straight to get him to make an inspection." She said she left messages every morning to see if Batson was in and, "I finally called the Mayor to find out what to do. John came and said he forgot the inspection. I had called him everyday and left him a message every day. In the inspection he locked himself out on the third level porch and had already called the fire department when we discovered him. There were four women, friends of ours there, looking at the house with us and they saw what happened."
She explained, "He proceeded to bang on the window with his hand and said it broke when he tested it for impact glass. It was not just a crack. He hit it ... and the inside glass shattered because inside glass is not impact, its the outside. The outside glass did not break. The inside shattered. The impact glass is written on the window. Why would you slap it? You don't believe the little inscription on it? What inspector would slap the glass with their hand? The impact glass was on the outside. As a licensed builder this is new to Richard. All six of us saw what happened and it scared the four women."
Lawing said she told Batson that a window in another part of the house was broken when delivered and it would be replaced. She said, "When they were loading the window a fork-lift went through it. I don't think that's anything wrong with the window when that happens. We didn't have to ask them to fix it. They are standard windows that have been used by other builders at Kure Beach. They certainly were not a special order."
She said Council member Emilie Swearingen told them they had installed the windows backwards but, "We don't know how you can do that."
Lawing said, "We've had power since November 7th and would have been moved in the house if the one we lived in had been sold. We had no clue we were not signed off or that we didn't have a final inspection. We had to hear it from a third party. When I called for a final inspection in late October, again I had to call three times, we didn't ask for any favors about turning any power on. We asked for a final inspection. John went through the house and the yard and said everything looked good. He said it turned out nice."
She said, "He asked for a plot-plan and we called Stewart Jones who is a professional land surveyor who we've used for many years and Stewart came and did the plot-plan and height elevation which we hand carried to John and he said everything was ok and he would call it in for final power. We asked for a final inspection. What was he there for? If there was anything wrong he should have said so then. He asked about grass seed and we told him we were putting out sod and would wait until we had power so we could irrigate."
She said temporary power was available, but they wanted to wait until the permanent power was cut on to hook up the irrigation.
She said John, "said he trusted us to put the sod out. The yard was completely ready for the irrigation system and the palm trees were there. The only thing that wasn't down as far as the landscaping was the sod. Had he asked me for a thousand dollars I would have sure told him just wait until we get the sod
out and then do the inspection. John did not know anything was wrong on the building permit, he didn't say anything was wrong. When we carried the plan to him he said it looked fine and I'm going to turn it lose for power."
Lawing said, "The stickers were on the windows at the framing inspection when an inspector is supposed to check. Why would you wait until a house is complete and a builder has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to see if the right windows were in place? The stickers were still there at the final inspection but once we got power we cleaned up the house."
She explained, "The cantilevered fire place was shown on the submitted plans... and if there was a problem John should not have issued us a permit. We even told him and pointed out to him the cantilevered fireplace. A plot-plan we submitted showed the foundation plan. It didn't show cantilevers, no, it showed the foundation plan. It showed the lot, 50 by 100 foot lot, and where the house was sitting."
Lawing pointed to the Town's ordinance stating, "You have it there, concerning setbacks, which says balconies and similar features can extend 18 inches into the setback along with a number of other structures most of which goes to the ground. It eliminates carports and porches but it does not say you can't cantilever. There are cantilevers all over Kure Beach. I've got pictures here that show cantilevers at houses that are completed and people are living in on Kure Beach."
She said, "If we had known that it had to go inside the setback we could have certainly done that but we've finished the house now. And all of a sudden he decides it."
She said another surveyor said they do not put parts of the structure that do not go down to the ground and the cantilever does not reach the ground.
She said, "Nothing blocks any emergency vehicles and it's completely accessible."
Lawing said the well replaces an old existing well that had been on the property for many years and they had work done on the well so they could once again use it.
She said, "It was put in July 24, 2012. Why would John wait six months if he thought there was a problem? He never mentioned it to us until February."
She said, "Our little three, by three by three... foot removable well house is completely removable by lifting it off. You have to be able to do that if you want to work on the well."
She said the surveyor told them he doesn't list removable structures because they may be moved in the future. She said the ordinance
states, "Any structure requiring a building permit shall not be permitted in the setback area with the exception of a fence and beach walkovers. A three by three by three does not require a building permit. North Carolina Building Code says a structure 12 by 12 by 12 feet requires a building permit."
She said the well house is only a few inches into the setback.
Lawing said the real estate signs have nothing to do with the house passing inspection and, "We can point out hundreds of signs on the right-of-ways" in Town.
She said the little cedar tree was there when they bought the property and other people have landscaping in the right-of-way.
Lawing said, "We put out twice as much sod out as we would have had to" and put sod in the right-of-way to make it look better for the Town.
She pointed out of violations in Town and said, "We don't care but we just don't like to be the one that's being told to move everything. If Kure Beach decides to enforce all of the ordinances they will certainly have their work cut out of them. The signs and the little tree can be moved, but why pick on us."
She said string put up around the yard is to keep people off of the sod while taking root.
She said, "John cost us the sale of the house which we put on the market."
She said, "When we finished up with our bills... and saw how much it would cost to replace the window we thought John should be responsible for paying it. After six months he had offered to pay for it, he hadn't said anything at all about paying for it, and its not very professional, I don't think, to not at least offer something along that line and there is someone here that can testify he said he would make it hard on us. He's mad."
She said they thought the final inspection had been done and her husband's been in the building business for over 40 years. She said, "We never picked up a CO. I know that may sound a little unusual but when a building inspector says we are final, we think we are final.... When we get power we think we are final."
Kure Beach Mayor Dean Lambeth said, "I received a call from Ms. Lawing and she said she had asked for an inspection on the house five different times and it was not done. When I called John he got upset and told me I should tend to the Mayor's business which I thought this was part of the Mayor's business. She called again when they had the problem with the window. I assume that John probably thought the Lawings would let the window go. They brought it to the attention of the Town. We were sitting in the clerks office and she said why did you just not bring it to me and we would take care of it and then
John said he would make it hard on the Lawings in more ways than one for them to pay for that window."
Town Attorney Andy Canoutas asked the Mayor if he expects Batson to carry out his duties as building inspector to the letter of the law and took an oath to do so. He asked Lambeth, "Can you tell us which law he has violated in the inspection of that house?"
Lambeth said, "I don't know of any law he has violated."
Canoutas said, "So he has carried out his duty so far as you know as he is sworn to do."
Lambeth said, "He has carried out his duty."
Batson later denied saying he would make it hard on the Lawings but that he and Lambeth sometimes have debates on various issues.
Board member Harry Humphries said the Board couldn't rule on the window, the signs, the tree, and furniture. He said, the only issue the Board can deal with is the irrigation well house and overhang for the fireplace encroaching into the setback area between the house and road. The Board also said they could not rule on the performance of the building inspector and its an issue between the Town and homeowner.
The Board discussed "sliding" over the little well house to get it out of the setback area as a solution.
The Board voted to uphold Batson's ruling that the well house is in violation and has to be moved out of the setback area.
The Board also voted to uphold Batson's ruling that the overhang for the fireplace is in violation by encroaching into the setback area. The Board felt it is the contractor's responsibility to know and adhere to the Town's ordinances.
One Board member said placing the fireplace inside the house would not lead to a total loss of the house.
Both votes were unanimous.
The Lawings say it's created a hardship for them because Batson approved plans showing the fireplace overhang and nothing was said until after the house was completed.
They have hired an attorney and will appeal the decision.

This time of year my head is running wild with gift ideas. We have seven birthdays, Christmas, and work holiday parties all through out December. Coming up with new and interesting gifts is a challenge with so many people to please. But this year at least one gift is a breeze with ChocolatRouge – I'm making a chocolate lover's gift pack!
I'm so using this for the white elephant exchange at this year's company Christmas party. Last years' exchange was fun, and about 1/3 of the gifts brought were alcohol. We're waiters and waitresses and we like to relax with a drink, so bottles are an easy choice. Every one at work LOVES that I bring in extra baked goods, so I'm throwing those in the mix too. While this present may seem a little on the girly side, any chocolate lover would flip out for all the goodies inside.
In my gift pack, I'm including a peppermint bark scented candle (chocolate & mint!), a little stash of homemade chocolate cookies, one of my fave chocolate candies, and a bottle of ChocolatRouge Milk Chocolate wine. Now if you just had an "Oh my god! Did she say chocolate wine? Huh? Should I be saying ewww?" reaction, let me help. Yes. Deep breath. NO!
Before trying ChocolatRouge, I had never had chocolate wine. I'd seen it around for years, but the whole idea of red wine and chocolate mixed together just seemed wrong in my brain for whatever reason. I love drinking wine, I love chocolate, and they pair really well together. But for the life of me I've been scared to take a sip, and freaked out by the whole idea. I'm not scared any more, and I'm going to help you wrap your brain around this too.
Forget the red wine part, I think that's what freaked me out – I don't know. Think of ChocolatRouge as a creamy, chocolate cocktail that's sweet with a little alcohol bite to it. Now you can remember that there's wine in it, because it's not really a cocktail, it's chocolate wine. Seriously though, it's good. I mean hello, it's a 98 point wine! I grabbed a bottle of the ChocolatRouge Wine Milk Chocolate in the wine section at my local store (you see if your local store carries ChocolatRouge HERE), and while I was checking out the cashier asked if I had this wine before. I said no, and she proceeded to recommend chilling it and having a glass with dessert. She'd had it before and really liked it. I told her I was scared to try it, and she helped put my mind at ease. I'm so glad she did.
So be on the lookout co-workers. A big box of chocolate goodness and yummy ChocolatRouge wine is in your future!

Straight pour from a 750ml/25.4oz pry-off bottle to a pint jar; no bottling date, but this was released seven weeks ago to the day, if I'm not mistaken, and it's been kept refrigerated. I had it on tap when it was a good deal fresher, so let's so how it is now.
Appearance (4.0): Three and a half fingers of creamy, bone-white foam rise easily off of the pour, capping a bright, yellow-golden (not quite straw) body with TONS of little bubbles streaming to the surface all around. Somewhat above average retention for the style, dying down slower than average and leaving an arc and fat clumps of fine suds on the near side, along with a soft, sticky, sudsy collar at the surface on the far. Good looking for a witbier.
Smell (3.75): Classic witbier, showing light hay, crackery malt, and spice in the form of clove and white pepper evenly balanced, plus a bit of coriander. Clear blueberry notes no longer dominate but now mix in, between the spice and crackery malt.
Taste (4.0): Pretty much a straight-on iteration of the nose, but the tannic parts of the blueberry flavor are much more noticeable. Fresh and on tap, this was crazily, perfectly, naturally blueberry-flavored—not a hint of artificial flavoring whatsoever, just beautiful blueberry flavor that made you wonder how the beer wasn't purple-colored. This beer is now more subdued in terms of sweetness, but the tannic character of the blueberry skins pushes forward and nestles comfortably in between dry, crackery/biscuity malt, dusty straw, a touch of honey, and a smattering of coriander, clove, and white pepper spice. It's not so much a bombastic blueberry beer right now as it is a more complex witbier, which I dig.
Mouthfeel (4.25): Soft, fluffy carbonation coats all surfaces as soon as it arrives, playing counterpoint to a dry, lighter-than-medium body with a light prickle and gently tannic feel. In spit of the fruit addition it finishes somewhat (but not thoroughly) on the dry side. Very pleasant to drink—this would be a great one to pair summer pastas and seafood.
Overall (4.0): Glad I drank this when I did. The blueberry character has definitely shifted and dropped off a bit since it was fresh, but it's moved forward gracefully, exposing the tannic undertones of the fruit addition and allowing them to mingle rather organically with the base beer. I'm glad they made this beer, and glad they're doing it again. Now, if they would just shove this beer with some brett into a wine barrel . . .

On tap at the brewery. Pours a light purplish pink color with hardly any head. Aroma smells like a fruit sour beer, with a bit of blueberry and sour cherry. Flavor doesn't follow the aroma. Taste is light witbier with a bit of fruit (though, not super blueberry flavor which is good since I'm not a huge blueberry fan). Mouthfeel is light, with adequate carbonation. Not bad at all.

Appears a ruby pink, like the color of grapefruit. A whispy ring of head clung to the edges of the glass. The aroma of wheat and grapefruit like hops dominated the aroma, but behind them lingered an aroma of tart blueberries. The flavor is where this beer truly shines though. Other than the hint of wheat in the flavor you would be hard pressed to tell this was a beer. The hops mixed with the tart blueberry creating a flavor similar to a mellow grapefruit juice. After a few sips and a chance for the beverage to warm up in my hand a little the blueberry made a juicy appearance in the back end. It was smooth and juicy as well as a slight drying effect similar to eating a red grape. This beer was great to experience, I could have have one or two of these... or three... maybe four...

It was an inspiring story when he came back and joined the Rockies' rotation to begin the 2012 season. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury trying to field a ground ball against the Dodgers in early June and has been on the DL since then.
Now, he's had surgery and won't return this year:

This sort of surgery is fairly common and it wouldn't seem to get in the way of Nicasio returning to pitch for the Rockies in 2013.

DALLAS -- A downtown collision tied up traffic near the Omni Dallas Hotel on Saturday evening.
A small black sedan and an 18-wheeler tangled at the corner of Lamar and Young streets. No one was seriously injured, but the impact punctured a diesel tank on the truck, spilling slippery fuel down Lamar Street.
The Dallas Fire-Rescue hazardous materials team used power equipment to soak up and dispose of the fuel.
Police, meanwhile, directed traffic through the hotel's entranceway to sidestep the tainted pavement.

A DuPage County judge refuses to dismiss animal-hoarding charges against a man who was found to have nearly 500 birds inside his feces-filled home.
Defense attorney Roderick Mollison argued that the case against David Skeberdis should be dismissed because Aurora officials didn't advise his client on how to come into compliance with animal welfare guidelines or give him time to do so.
However, Judge Bruce Kelsey said Tuesday that although there is the possibility the birds weren't removed in accordance with civil procedures, Skeberdis could still be criminally charged.
In October, authorities discovered hundreds of birds, mounds of garbage, bird feces and bird seed in his home. About 150 birds were dead, and others were taken by the Greater Chicago Cage Bird Club.
The case returns to court April 10.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.
