History comes in many forms — some of it, apparently, edible.
The foodies are currently all about the resurrection of a local potato known as the "Bodega Red."
We see by the food pages that the Sonoma County North chapter of Slow Food, the international organization established in Italy 24 years ago to combat the effects of fast food on our civilization, has taken up the case of the potato that made Sonoma County rich. For a few early years, at least.
With the good offices of the Sonoma County Land Trust and the work of Department of Agriculture geneticists, survivors of this pioneer crop have been duly identified and named. And they are growing, carefully tended by admiring New Age farmers.
This is interesting stuff for local historians as well as those who pursue food truths in laboratories with microscopes.
Scientists have determined these few survivors are indeed Bodega Red potatoes, thought by many to be lost to the ages.
Scientists can do that. Historians have a harder time. Often, they can only surmise from tales told. Although in the case of this particular potato, there seems to be remarkable amount of agreement.
The Bodega Red, geneticists say, is the product of a Peruvian ancestor. This is hardly a surprise. Most potatoes as we know them, came from ancestors in the Peruvian and Bolivian Andes. (Ask the knowledgeable owners of Sazon restaurant on Sebastopol Road. Peruvians know their potatoes.)
If there is a mystery involved, it is how that Peruvian potato came here to be modified by the soil and climate of the Sonoma coast.
This is most interesting. But the Bodega Red, lost or found, is only a chapter in the potato annals of Sonoma County. The bigger story, oft told, is about the part potatoes played in the early history of this area.
Potatoes, all kinds of potatoes, were the first commercial crop planted in Sonoma County.
The "Potato Boom" of the 1850s, an indirect result (one of many) of California's epic Gold Rush, was engendered by the sudden and immediate demand for food to feed the thousands of people who flocked to the new town of San Francisco on their way to or from the mines of the Sierra Mother Lode.

Summer Assurance Intern InterviewApplication Details
I interviewed through college or university. The process took 3 months - interviewed at PwC in November 2012.Interview Details
The process started with an online application through my school. The campus recruiters selected about 15 students to interview on-campus, both intern and full-time. Honestly, the on-campus interview was the most difficult interview of the entire process. It was pretty much a straight run through of my resume, but I know other interviewers asked more random questions. Regardless, be well prepared with questions to ask the interviewer.
The recruiters selected only a few students for an office visit (or as they call it "superday"). Day started at 9:00am and consisted of a basic presentation followed by a panel discussion (ask a question). The candidates are then paired with a host to take you to your interviews. There are three 30 minute interviews. The type of interview heavily depends on the interviewer. Two of my interviews were more relaxed, focused on trying to get to know me. The third interview was nearly all behavioral questions, but still nothing very difficult. Just have a lot of questions prepared. After the interviews, your host will take you to lunch. After, you are free to go. PwC says they will get back to you after two weeks, but most people hear well before that. I heard from them after three days.
Process really isn't anything to worry about, but I also did kind of over prepare. All of my interviewers throughout the entire process were laid back and very friendly. Overall, a good experience.Interview Questions

I interviewed through college or university. The process took 2 days - interviewed at PwC in March 2009.Interview Details
I went in for a first round interview at my university. The questions were very basic, mostly behavioral. I was asked about my past work experiences, some of my school activities, etc. For the second round, I was interviewed in the Los Angeles office. The second round was completely behavioral as well. I would prepare for this by having lots of examples of your organizational skills, leadership skills, and teamwork experience.Interview Questions

The Airborne Reconnaissance Low-Multifunction (ARL-M) radar provides high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images in all weather, day or night.
The ARL-M is a multi-mode X-band SAR reconnaissance and surveillance system that has two modes of operation. Its Wide Area Moving Target Indicator (WAMTI) mode scans a 10,000-square-kilometer area in less than a minute, detecting ground movers, which are depicted on a cartographic map of the area. The depicted symbols provide target direction and location information. The SAR spot mode provides 1.8 meter resolution imagery of a 10-square-kilometer area. The WAMTI mode detects movers and provides a cue to invoke the spot mode for a SAR image of the same area.
With its high-quality imagery and moving target indication capabilities, the ARL-M can be used for border surveillance, ground force movement, littoral region activities, land mapping, and resource management. The ARL-M, a derivative of Raytheon's HISAR™ system, is operational on the U.S. Army's RC-7B aircraft.

Snowfalls keeping skiers happy

Enthusiasts at Thredbo and Perisher for the start of the ski season this weekend learnt long ago about the inverse relationship between the price of lift tickets and the latitude and altitude of where they ski.
Due in large part to the low height of the Snowy Mountains and their proximity to the equator, natural snowfall is so unreliable resorts have invested heavily in snow-making and grooming equipment to make sure they are snowy enough to provide a decent skiing experience. And that is why Australia leads the world for the price of a one-day lift pass.
The strength of the Australian dollar makes things look even more extreme when comparing prices at Thredbo and Perisher with their equivalents in Europe, North America, Asia and New Zealand.

Come the ski season, the Australian Alpine Club - which owns ski lodges in Dinner Plain, Falls Creek, Mt Buller, Mt Hotham, Perisher and Niseko in Japan - likes to publish a please-explain report comparing Australian lift ticket prices with those of resorts around the world.
The club has not yet published its 2012 survey but in 2011 the top Australian resorts (Perisher Blue $109, Thredbo $107, Falls Creek $106, Mt Hotham $106, Mt Buller $104) were charging more, in Australian dollars, for a one-day ticket than leading international locations like Vail in the US, Whistler in Canada and Klosters in Switzerland.
Its 2011 report also noted that for the previous seven years, ski lift price increases at the five largest Australian resorts had outstripped inflation. With the dollar still strong and Thredbo ($110) and Perisher ($112) both having raised their 2012 day-pass prices, Australia is likely to hold on to its title again this year as the destination with the world's most expensive single-day lift passes.
Ski season opens for 2012
Winter Olympian Britteny Cox was the youngest Olympian at the Vancouver Olympics. Today she she enjoyed her 1st turns of the snow season at Falls Creek. Falls Creek opened for skiing and boarding with a base close to 30cm and four lifts in operation. Cold Autumn and Winter temperatures have allowed snowmakers to add to the snow cover.

While not everyone will be happy to pay for it, the hundreds of snow-making guns and grooming machines have improved conditions for skiers, particularly at the start of the season when natural snowfall can be extremely patchy.
Eight years into a $40 million 10-year trial, cloud seeding by the hydro-electricity generator Snowy Hydro also appears to be helping ski conditions. The primary goal of the winter seeding is to boost the amount of water that flows into the dams of the Snowy Mountains scheme for power generation, but research suggests an extra 14 per cent of snow is being dumped by the targeted storm fronts.

NOAA's Office of General Counsel for Enforcement and Litigation has issued a $30,000 civil penalty to James Hahn, the owner and operator of the fishing vessel, Relax for violations of the Atlantic Tuna Convention Act.
The alleged violations occurred on October 3, 2005 when five Atlantic bluefin tuna were landed aboard the FV Relax, violating the charter headboat daily catch limit of one tuna. The Relax was operating off Long Island, N.Y., in the Hudson Canyon area. Upon return to the dock in Oakdale, N.Y., police with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation boarded the vessel and discovered the five tuna.
Hahn also failed to maintain four of the tuna with the tail and at least one pectoral fin intact to allow for proper measurement, as required by law.
The New York officers seized the fish and later donated them to the Long Island Cares food bank. NOAA Fisheries Service Office for Law Enforcement conducted a follow-up investigation.
"Joint federal-state enforcement partnerships put more eyes on the water, allowing us to closely monitor recreational and commercial fishing activities," said NOAA Special Agent James Cassin, Jr. "NOAA and our state enforcement partners take fishing violations seriously, and we'll continue our work to curtail the illegal harvesting of fish."
The owner/ operator has 30 days to request a hearing before an administrative law judge.
To report illegal fishing activities contact the NOAA Fisheries Service's Enforcement Hot Line at 800-853-1964.

Product Details
The 2013 Canadian Silver Polar Bear is the first and currently the only
coin produced by the Royal Canadian Mint to carry a weight of 1.5 oz. It is composed of .9999 pure silver, and has a diameter of 38 mm; the same as its 1 oz counterpart, making it exceptionally thick. The coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, as it is the newest addition of Polar Bear coins.
The coin's obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Susanna Blunt. The artist was chosen to create a likeness of the Queen in celebration of her 77th birthday. Her name is engraved at the top of the coin, with the eight dollar denomination and the year at the bottom.
On the coin's reverse is the image of the polar bear walking across the icy tundra. Less than 20,000 of these animals exist in the world, with one of the largest populations residing in Canada. The country's name is etched around the upper edge of the coin, while its .9999 purity and 1.5 oz weight appear at the bottom.
Customer Reviews
Unique 1.5 coins
Like many of the other reviewers I bought these coins because of the unique size. 1.5 oz coins are rare, and I like adding rare coins to my collection. I found a few subtle imperfections on a couple of the coins, but other than that I am very satisfied. They are a little more expensive, but you get more silver so that is to be expected. I would recommend them.

Awesome coins
Gainesville coins consistently has the best price. The $8 polar bear is a beautiful coin with lots of heft. The bear sculpture is shiny but the sky is duller by design. I found the scalloping on the edges to be a lot sharper than expected...clearly uncirculated. Get 15 so they will come in a tube. You will be happier that way.

It would have been fantastic
I was very excited to see these coins listed on the gainsville website for the lowest price out of all the other vendors but it turned out to be a huge let down. The coin its self would be perfect if not for the fact they sent me a blemish coin with a huge scratch and smudge marks where someone decided to try to "buff it out". I would recommend buying this coin but when your paying such a high premium you expect to receive a coin in mint condition.

descent coins
they are a bit pricey but i decided to purchase one anyway because of the unique size. There were some very light scratch marks on the tallest features on the coin which was a bit of a letdown. It was securely packed and in a protective flip so idk how that happened. It is a bullion coin that is shipped from the mint in tubes of 15 so i guess slight damage is to be expected.

smooth transaction
just received my polar bear and the first thing i noticed is how thick it is. They don't quite fit in a standard coin capsule due to the thickness so that was a bit of a bummer. They arrived in great shape.

Beautiful, Solid Coins
Beautiful coins, the extra thickness and weight give these carefully crafted Canadian Mint coins a solid feel. Granted, you do pay a premium on the uniqueness of this 1.5 ounce from any vendor, however I highly recommend this coin. Having purchased nearly a hundred Canadian Maple Leafs over the past eight months, this 1.5 ounce coin is a nice addition to any collection, and Gainesville Coins has repeated shipped high quality coins to me at a notably less expense price. Their packaging and price for shipments is also the best.

state representative from Oklahoma City is asking for an opinion from
the attorney general's office on the authority of the House
speaker-elect to spend money from the House budget.
Republican Rep. Mike
Reynolds sent a letter Wednesday to Attorney General Scott Pruitt
seeking a formal opinion as House Speaker-elect T.W. Shannon is expected
to announce his staff this week.
Shannon was formally
elected by the Republican caucus earlier this month to serve as speaker
for the legislative session beginning in February. He was unopposed and
will be formally elected by the full House in January.
But Reynolds questioned
whether Shannon has the authority to authorize spending before his
formal election and says there is "ambiguity in the Constitution that
needs to be clarified."

Welcome to Earth! It's a planet having an iron core, with two-thirds of its surface covered by water.
Earth orbits a local star called the Sun, the light of which generates the food supply for all the millions of species of life on earth.
The dominant species on Earth is the human being, and you're one of the six billion of them! Humans have iron in their blood, and their bodies are composed of two-thirds water, just like the planet they live on.
The physical composition of the Earth, its people and everything on it contains an electro-magnetic field which is not yet fully understood.
Theories and legends about the origin of Earth, people and life itself abound, however they are not commonly discussed. The bulk of earth's people spend their time immersed in daily activities, leaving the big questions for later.
"Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How will we get there?"
Many religions and philosophies have attempted to answer these questions over the years, but so far none has given an answer that everyone on the planet can accept.
In contrast to all the disagreement, the similarities among people on earth are far, far greater than any differences.
Welcome again to Earth! Enjoy your stay, and try to stay calm.

And talk about excuses, who on this team is between the ages of 26-31??
The Glazers thought they had Parcells nailed down before they fired Dungy. Before they even consider firing Gruden they will try to have their replacement nailed down and we know they shoot big. There's no logical replacement out there now and they gave up too much for Gruden to fire him without knowing who will replace him.
True but if Cowher is no longer in Pitt I can see the Glazers giving him a call.
On the Big Dawg today he proposed a different theory. that Simeon is on IR cause he hates Gruden. I find that hard to believe that sim would have an intentionally awful year that would drop his market value to almost zero just to spite gruden.
Coaches don't go away from what works because of personal issues.
Next Bucsguru? Why don't you respond to the other thread after I refuted all of your points? Or are you just like Dalbuc and just jump to other topics saying the same thing?

Inspector Gadget - experts come to Worcester to show off the latest cutting edge crime fighting kit
Updated 2:27pm Friday 16th May 2014 in News
2014599801. 16/05/14. Left to right - Graham Houghton from Neighbourhood Watch and inventor Rob Simpson with the Chain Reaction DNA Advanced Intruder Deterrent system that sprays a fine unique coded ultra-violet mist onto anyone trying to force their way
CUTTING edge crime fighting devices were on show courtesy of some modern day Inspector Gadgets who have made it their mission to help homeowners defend themselves and their property against criminals.
Graham Houghton of West Side Neighbourhood Watch organised a team of experts from the world of home security to demonstrate the newest home defence gadgets at St John's Youth and Community Centre in Swanpool Walk, Worcester, on Friday. He said: "We have got to be more security conscious in this day and age. It isn't going to cost you a fortune. Prevention is the best thing."
One of the devices on show was a forensic door alarm ("Chain Reaction") courtesy of inventor Rob Simpson, a key chain which sprays home invaders with UV marking fluid and emits a piercing alarm. The fluid has a unique coded signature so it can be tracked to a specific house/crime with the information stored on a national database. Mr Simpson came up with the idea of the forensic burglary deterrent while watching an episode of The Bill and he wants homeowners and businesses to use the device. He said: "This is the cutting edge of crime prevention, assisting the police in their inquiries. They go through the door and "boom!" Hundreds are now being installed, from Land's End to John O'Groats. As homeowners it is up to us to make sure we don't become victims of crime. It is about being proactive." He said the drop-in session was a chance to promote the use of the device to West Mercia Police. Mr Simpson was also demonstrating the offender marker, a hand-held device used by door supervisor to UV spray troublemakers.
Another demonstrator was former police officer turned independent security adviser Michael Keyte of Detect Deter Defend Limited who was promoting the "soft alarm" developed by Per Dahl in Sweden. The downloadable app for mobile phones is a "personal safe device" which can be set of manually if someone becomes the victim of a crime. Mr Keyte believes it could be used by the public or by the victims of domestic violence or in witness protection, with talks now underway with various police forces.
The app shows were someone is on a map, using the GPS, and even has a "man down" function so the alarm activates if the phone has not moved for a certain period of time. He also showed 'property marking skins' which cover UV signatures on possessions like laptops or bikes, so criminals cannot remove the signature. The idea is that it will help police to identify more easily stolen goods and return them to their owners. PC Julie Merry of the Safer Neighbourhood Team for the West Side was also present, as was Christopher Burton, senior health trainer for Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust, on hand to check people's blood pressure and BMI and give them other healthy lifestyle advice and Chris Stockman, director of Fire Fighting First Aiders. Representatives of Healthwatch Worcestershire and the Citizen's Advice Bureau were on hand to give advice.

Narrow your search
Very good picture quality and an extremely aggressive price make the Vizio M3D0KD one of the best LED TV values on the market.
The Vizio M3D550SR is a solid edge-lit LED TV with excellent black levels, although its passive 3D and Smart Dimming feature create some issues.
The TomTom XL 350 and XXL 550 series of GPS devices represent a marked improvement over the previous generation, keeping its great form factor while streamlining its software.
The Ultrasone HFI-680 headphones' abundant bass power, forgiving treble, and isolation from external noise should make these an attractive choice for some buyers.
Pricing not available
The HTC One SV's sleek design and fast processor are impressive, but not its call quality or the pictures it takes.
Pricing not available
With powerful and customizable navigation hardware and software, the RightWay 550 is a great GPS device for advanced users. Those looking for an easy-to-use GPS device, however, will probably want to look elsewhere.
Quick load times, excellent Blu-ray image quality, and a generous suite of streaming services make the LG BD550 a solid entry-level Blu-ray player.
The LG HBM-550 is a sleek Bluetooth headset that feels comfortable and sounds good.
Pricing not available
In addition to delivering solid sonics, the Zvox Z-Base 550 sets itself apart from competing single-speaker units with the unique capability to double as a stand for your TV.
Pricing not available
If you're a Live View-oriented shooter who doesn't care about color accuracy, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A550's good performance and decent noise profile make it attractive for the money. Otherwise, you can find a better camera.

Aguero close to City return (From Salisbury Journal)

Aguero close to City return
2:03pm Friday 10th January 2014 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero could be back in action in the next week, manager Manuel Pellegrini has revealed.
Aguero, City's top scorer with 19 goals this season, has been out since suffering a calf injury in the 6-3 defeat of Arsenal on December 14.
The Argentinian is now back in training and could be in contention for next week's home clash with Cardiff in the Barclays Premier League.
Pellegrini said: "Aguero continues working and maybe next week he can be fit."
City have won six of their seven games in Aguero's absence - the exception being a 1-1 draw at Blackburn in the FA Cup third round - but his return will be welcomed ahead of next month's Champions League date with Barcelona.
Key midfielder Yaya Toure is fit for the game at Newcastle on Sunday.
Toure hurt his ankle early in Wednesday's 6-0 Capital One Cup semi-final thrashing of West Ham but appeared to run off the knock and played on until being substituted in the 66th minute.
Pellegrini said: "Yaya is okay. There was a little pain in his ankle but nothing important."
Winger Jesus Navas is in contention after being rested in midweek due to a minor knee problem.
Striker Stevan Jovetic and midfielder Jack Rodwell remain on the sidelines.

It has been named "Festival of Neighbors" in hopes of bringing together not only our local citizens, but also our neighboring communities as well. A new group of volunteers with great new ideas and plenty of enthusiasm are organizing it. Kettle Falls Mayor Dorothy Slagle stated, "We're working with our Chamber of Commerce to create an event that celebrates our area and brings more awareness to our history and all we have to offer here."

Bill Grimes Daily News
Effingham Daily News
---- — At one time, Brian Larson had wanted to unload the Marina@Lake Sara.
But after a recent auction attracted no suitable bidders, Larson says he's going to keep the marina open for at least one more season.
Larson told the Effingham Water Authority Board Monday he's going to streamline the operation — located on the north shore of Lake Sara — as much as he can.
"We will keep running the marina, but I will pull back as much as I can," he said.
Larson said he was decreasing the number of rental boats available. Moreover, he's discontinuing all Friday and Sunday morning operations. The new marina hours will be noon to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
There's more, he said.
"We're not going to run the stage or get a liquor license," Larson said. "We won't have any ice cream or pizza, either. But we will still sell gasoline, and we may expand the number of covered slips."
Larson told the board he planned to take most of his personal belongings currently stored at the marina and move them to property he owns elsewhere.
"I will depersonalize myself from the marina a little bit," Larson said, adding he planned to rent out two large sheds on marina property.
Larson said the ultimate goal is to stop losing money.
"I think doing all these things will put me in the black," he said.
Larson said the changes will also help him on a more intangible level.
"My thought was that all I wanted to do was change my lifestyle," he said. "But it's not a huge burden to keep it. I like to see the people and provide customer service."
Also Monday, the board told leaseholder Gary Morgan they would conduct a special meeting at Lot 37 Beachcomber Haven to discuss Morgan's request for a variance on the lot. Morgan told the board he would like to tear down the existing home on the lot and build a new one — without a walk-through basement.
Board Chairman Chris Kabbes said he would like to visit the property at a later date.
The board also agreed to grant an easement to property on the north shore of the lake owned by board member Jim Boos. Boos said he would like the easement to be able to split the 10-acre parcel originally owned by his father. Boos did not vote on the issue.
Bill Grimes can be reached at 217-347-7151, ext. 132, or email@example.com.

Provenca Gas Fire Table 27 29
Provenca Gas Fire Table W/Tuscan Base This fire table creates a spine, tingling effect with it's pleasing quality associated with it's harmony of form, color, excellence of craftsmanship, and stirs a heightened response to your senses. It does just what was promised by Frontgate: "creates a memorable effect in our outdoor setting" ! June 29, 2014
Nice fire table, but missing a couple of things our fire table arrived and it looks nice. I was disappointed to see that it does not include the bolts needed to attach the table to the base, nor does it tell you what size bolt you need. For this much money, all necessary hardware should be included. Also, when a customer pays extra for the fire glass (as we did), you need to include instructions on how to use them. I don't know if we use the lava rocks under the glass or ??? 2 very simple fixes would make this purchase seamless. As it is, we can't use our table until (a) we go to the hardware store and buy multiple bolts to try and (b) get an answer about how to use the fire glass we purchased from Frontgate. Because these issues were avoidable by Frontgate, it is frustrating..... June 23, 2013
Love, Love, Love this product! This gas fire table is easy to operate, creates a wonderful ambiance and extends enjoying the Chicago outdoors by months! February 28, 2013
Fabulous Firepit We purchased the Provenca model, and it is by far, more than we expected. Well built, excellent finishes, and beautiful. This firepit has added a terrific dimension to our pool/patio area. Frontgate delivered exactly as promised with excellent customer service, notifications, delivery, and follow up. This model is worth the extra money over competitors and cheaper models. January 2, 2013
So Glad I Got This! I've been looking at this firepit for quite some time. I finally decided to order it, and I have NO regrets. My husband and I, along with some friends, tried it out the other night. I had ordered the gold and bronze glass (instead of using the lava rocks and logs that came with it) and it was amazingly beautiful! It puts out a very nice flame while the table, itself, stays cool.

Provenca Gas Fire Pit I have to tell you that I was disappointed with the color of this fire pit. We chose it becasue it seemed to be the only one that didnt have orange on the tiles...but when it arrived, it was as orange as the other fire pits on line. It is not the color the picture shows it to be. The picture needs to be updated. For as much as this costs, the images need to be reliable. Other than that, it is great. It just doesnt match my patio/furniture. October 29, 2012
Tuscan Custom Gas Firepit Absolutely stunning. Well built and big enough to sit a group of friends around comfortably. Was expensive but worth it. May 26, 2012
picture in catalog not representative of product. Product arrived without screws to hold the table top in place. The table top did not look like the picture in the catalog - the colors were very dull & washed out, the finish of the table top was matte/flat [I was expecting more of a tile/porcelain glaze finish], and the accent squares looked like they were made with a tin foil base & jelly squirted in. I would have sent it back but my husband had gone out & bought screws that would fit and had the firepit put it together while I was out shopping for a party we were hosting that night & I didn't have the heart to have him take it apart.

Lady Cougars cruise to 8th win
Gritt Ryder finished with a double-double and the Western Nebraska Community College women's basketball team remained unbeaten with an impressive 30-point win over Casper College 72-42 on Tuesday night at Cougar Palace.
Ryder finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while also adding eight steals and five assists in the win. More importantly, the Cougars showed plenty of offensive depth as three other Cougars finished with double-figure scoring. Jess Samorodova netted 16 points, while Mikayla Brower and Ashley Stevens each had 12 points.
Ryder said the team played well from the get-go.
"Coach [Dave Harnish] told us before the game that this was a big rivalry and that we wanted to do really well," the sophomore guard from Denmark said. "I think we played really great defensively. We still have a lot to work on, but we did great in the small areas with rebounds and boxing out."
The Cougars' defense was definitely on Tuesday night generating a number of turnovers and steals. The Cougars finished with 18 steals on the night, with Ryder benefiting with eight, Brower with three, and Laurin Rivera, Shalisa Moffit, and Jessica Aratani with two each. Samorodova also blocked three shots in the win.
"I thought we did a great job on defense. The posts did a great job boxing out and us guards tried to get the rebounds as well. I thought we followed the game plan pretty well, recognized the shooters, and did what coach told us what to do."
WNCC didn't take control of the contest until after the midway part of the first half. Casper held a 12-11 with 12 minutes to play. Brower changed the momentum of the game as she drained a 3-pointer to put WNCC up 17-14.
The Cougars continued playing strong the rest of the half. Leading 20-16, the Cougars went on a 21-6 run to close out the half and a 40-22 halftime lead. The lead included eight points by Stevens and five points from Ryder on two steals. Moffit also chipped in a 3-pointer.
WNCC's defense continued playing strong in the second half as the Cougars went on a 13-4 run to go up 53-26 behind four points from Stevens and back-to-back 3-pointers by Ryder and Moffit. Casper came back to score seven straight points, but WNCC put on the afterburner once again with a 6-point run to stop any hope of a Casper comeback.
The Cougars shot 45 percent from the field including connecting on 7 of 21 3-pointers. Ryder canned three treys, while Moffit had two. Brower and Aratani had the other 3-pointers.
Ryder said the team is starting to get confidence amidst their 8-0 start to the season.
"It helps to win games but we all know we want to win a regional championship so this is just one step in the road to that goal," she said.
The Cougars will be back in action Nov. 29-Dec. 1 when they compete in the Air Force Prep tournament. WNCC's next home action will be Dec. 6-8 when they host the Lady Cougar Holiday Classic.

To those involved in Ovi Publishing and Signing Java Apps;
I have just recently gone through the QA process and have reached the point where the app is published on Ovi Store.
Though, when installing the app from the store (on a Nokia E7 in this case), the user is not asked for the appropriate permissions.
In my specific case, GPS is needed, is asked for and works as expected.
Though, the app should ask for a network permission each and every session, to go to either online, or offline mode. In my case, there is no prompt for network permission at all, resulting in the app going into offline mode in each and every case.
At first, when the app was published, I contacted publisher support by sending them an email, and shortly after, I removed the app from Ovi Store by pressing the Unpublish button, since it would not make sense to offer people an app that will not function correctly.
After I sent the email to publisher support, I resubmitted the application for QA, assuming my message would have been received and read and eventually processed by the time it would get republished.
About a day thereafter I did get an answer from publisher support, stating my message would be forwarded and investigated.
Which brings us to today, where I just got an email from QA, stating the app will appear on Ovi Store again, though - The issue has not been resolved yet.
Having the app re-published shortly after the reply from support causes me some confusion.
From this point on, I'd like to know what my options are;
- Should I unpublish the app again? (Since it does not work properly)
- Should I send another request to publisher support? (Although I have an outstanding ticket)
And last but definately not least; Is there some way I could speak to someone in a more direct-fashion than emailing - since it seems to take a couple of business days each time to exchange only the most basic forms of information. This would be a great ammendment to support, and solve my frustration for the moment.
Thank you for reading,
Awaiting any reply,

Volunteers fighting crime on horseback
Horse riders could become crime-fighters after Hampshire police announced it can no longer afford to patrol rural areas. Volunteers from Hampshire Horsewatch will cover parts of the countryside, but they will only have the same power of arrest as citizens.
The Police Federation has criticised the scheme claiming that volunteers, wearing high visibility jackets, are being put at risk. Andrew Pate reports.

text: Caves, Cliffs Greet Visitors to Kanopolis State Park Reprinted from the Wichita Eagle KANOPOLIS STATE PARK — Six horseback riders crossed a tallgrass savannah, then had hilltop views of a sprawling lake. The horses were stirrup deep as they crossed a clear stream in a valley that looked straight from a classic John Wayne western, framed by towering rim rock — with a pair of sizable caves — and scarred where buffalo hooves had cut into rock for centuries. Eventually the riders traversed dense woodlands and toured a rugged canyon of giant, rose-colored boulders. more Posted on June 23, 2014 2:24PM by Michael Pearce

CATEGORIES Comedy, Horror, Thrillers, Cinematical Seven, CinematicalWith the Blu-Ray/DVD of The Wolfman remake hitting stores today, there's no better time than now to revisit the werewolf genre. Unlike vampires and, more recently, zombies, werewolves have never been as consistently popular with moviegoers, due perhaps to the inherent limitations of the concept (i.e., man vs. his bestial, primitive nature), but that doesn't mean fans of the sub-genre are completely bereft when it comes to putting together a must-see list, only that they (meaning me) have to dig a little deeper. As you'll see, three Cinematical entries arrived in movie theaters in the same year 1981 between April (The Howling ) and August (An American Werewolf in London) of the same year, 1981. It was a good year for werewolves.
A few, brief notes before we move on to the Cinematical Seven: (1) Films from The Twilight Saga will not appear on this list. (2) CG werewolves, by their nature, are inherently unscary, and will, therefore not be included on this list. (3) Sequels, regardless of quality, are automatically excluded from this list. Originality counts.
1. An American Werewolf in London (1981): Once, long ago, writer-director John Landis (Coming to America, Twilight Zone: The Movie, Trading Places, The Blues Brothers, Animal House) was an A-list director, but he was able to acquire studio support for one of his pet projects (sorry), an England-set, black comedy-horror film. Adding a new spin to the werewolf mythos (i.e., anyone killed by a werewolf hangs around, haunting him and otherwise upping the guilt quotient), Landis, along with a strong cast, and more importantly, Rick Baker's top-notch makeup effects (Baker won the first of six Academy Awards for An American Werewolf in London), created a horror-comedy with equal appeal to genre and non-genre fans.
2. Ginger Snaps (2000): Canada's sole entry on this list, Ginger Snaps, comes courtesy of director John Fawcett, who co-wrote the Cronenberg-influenced screenplay with Karen Walton. Centered on teen sisters, Ginger and Brigitte Fitzgerald (Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins), Ginger Snaps mixes black, Heathers-inspired humor (it's set in high school, after all), burgeoning sexuality, twisted familial relations, and camp-free, non-CG- horror. Followed by a sequel, Ginger Snaps II: Unleashed, and a prequel, Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (both more than watchable).
3. Wolfen (1981): Despite the absence of actual werewolves (they're super-intelligent wolves who hunt humans for food), Wolfen, based on Whitley Strieber's (2012: The War for Souls, The Greys, Communion, The Hunger) out-of-print first novel, deserves mention on any best-of list, due to Michael Wadleigh's (Woodstock) use of innovative use of thermography and Steadicams for the POV of the super-intelligent wolves, well-choreographed horror sequences, an eerily effective score by James Horner, and an A-level cast that included Albert Finney, Diane Venora, Gregory Hines (as the obligatory sacrificial sidekick), Tom Noonan, and a pre-Miami Vice Edward James Elmos as a Native-American bridge worker deeply conversant in Native American myths (specifically shapeshifters). Oh and did we mention the anti-corporate, pro-environmental theme that runs through Wolfen thanks to Wadleigh? Well, we just did.
4. Dog Soldiers (2002): Neil Marshall's debut film as a director (he co-wrote Killing Time four years earlier), Dog Soldiers, throws an unprepared squad of weekend reservists played by surprisingly talented cast, including Kevin McKidd and Sean Pertwee, against a pack of ravenous werewolves. Most of the action takes place in an isolated farmhouse on the Scottish moors, as good a setting for a horror film as you can find (just ask George A. Romero who first used the setting for Night of the Living Dead). The results are bloody, gory, hilarious, and, on occasion, cheesy (i.e., actors in ill-fitting werewolf costumes), but always consistently entertaining. It's Roger Corman-style, low-budget filmmaking, thankfully without unconvincing, ineffective CG (cf., Cursed, The Twilight Saga).
5. The Wolf Man (1941): The source material for this year's remake and the second werewolf-themed to feature the makeup effects work of Jack Pierce, The Wolf Man features Lon Chaney, Jr. in a career-defining role. Chaney makes his Wolf Man a tortured, tragic character, struggling, ultimately unsuccessfully, to save himself from the curse. Thanks to screenwriter Curt Siodmak's nuanced script, The Wolf Man also deserves credit for defining the general rules of the werewolf sub-genre.
6. The Howling (1981): A cheesefest from beginning to end (on purpose no less), Joe Dante's (Small Soldiers, Innerspace, Gremlins) The Howling appeared in movie theaters a few months before An American Werewolf in London. An overbroad critique of pop psychology and New Age Cults, The Howling is best remembered for the still impressive transformation scene created by makeup effects prodigy (and former Rick Baker protégé) Rob Bottin. Bottin would go on to develop the gruesome, gory effects for John Carpenter's The Thing a year later. Oh and an unrecognizable Robert Picardo (Star Trek: Voyager) in a brief scene where his character, Eddie Quist, a serial killer-werewolf, digs an inconvenient bullet from a hole in his head. Oh and let's not forget the scene involving werewolf sex.
7. The Curse of the Werewolf (1961): Hammer Studios revitalized the moribund horror genre with The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Dracula (1958), and The Mummy (1959). Each film, modeled on their Universal Studios predecessors, packaged eroticism and violence with high production values and stage-trained actors, most notably Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing (both appeared in an adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles with Cushing as Sherlock Holmes). For their take on the werewolf sub-genre, Hammer Studios turned to Oliver Reed to play the conflicted central character, a young man cursed from infancy to become a violent, uncontrollable werewolf as an adult. In its pathos and bathos, it actually supersedes The Wolf Man (our fifth entry above).
Honorable Mention: The Werewolf of London (1935): Best remembered for its cloak-and-hat wearing werewolf, The Werewolf of London featured Jack Pierce's makeup effects, but scaled back at leading actor Henry Hull's request. The Werewolf of London failed to attract audiences to movie theaters, due to the assumed similarities to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (an adaptation starring Frederic March appeared in movie theaters four years earlier). Pierce would revisit his werewolf makeup effects six years later when he supervised Lon Chaney, Jr.'s transformation scenes for The Wolf Man.
So what do you think of this list? Did I leave anything out? Did I include a non-worthy film on the list? What would you include?

March 9, 2012 | Tag(s): Born to be Wild, Imax
By: L'jeanne, Advertising Manager
We've got a wild show playing now at Entergy IMAX® Theater! It's Born to be Wild 3D! Like all IMAX® 3D movies the visuals are breathtaking. The movie takes place in the lush rainforests of Borneo and across the rugged Kenyan savannah. It truly is an inspiring story of how much love and dedication humans and animals share. In the movie orphaned orangutans and elephants are rescued, rehabilitated and returned to the wild. The rescue teams that help these animals are truly amazing and give everything to let these creatures be free once again. The narration in the movie is by Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman. The visuals and sound are IMAX® excellent. The story line calls for everyone to learn the effects of human errors and possibility that wild orangutans will be completely extinct if we as humans don't step up to help preserve this endangered species one life at a time. The orangutans are such intelligent animals and are considered the most intelligent of the apes. For orangutans to continue to survive in the wild, humans need to ensure the safety of their natural rainforest and keep their land free of poachers. Their forests have to be protected as scared for their survival. Take an opportunity this weekend to enjoy a wonderful and educating film on orangutans and elephants. Visit Entergy IMAX® Theater today I know you will thoroughly enjoy this heartwarming movie!

Tyson Foods Biofuels Plant Passing Quality Tests
November 8, 2010
Tyson Foods Inc. said that diesel fuel from its first biofuels plant is passing quality tests, reports the Associated Press. The fuel plant makes biodiesel from animal fat and other wastes produced at Tyson''s slaughterhouses. The company operates the plant in a joint venture with Syntroleum Corp., which has been operating since October. The plant in Geismar, La., is now producing 2,500 barrels of biodiesel a day. The fuel is passing quality tests that measure its "cloud point," when low temperatures make it gum up. The plant began shipping fuel in October, and has been making jet fuel for the Air Force Research Laboratory.

What's It About: After the death of his wife, Hal Fields (Plummer) comes out as homosexual to his mid-30s son, Oliver (Ewan McGregor). Hal begins living life to the fullest, even after he's diagnosed with terminal cancer. Meanwhile, Oliver must contend with both bits of life-altering news, as well as his own crippling self-doubt when it comes to life and love.
Why You Should See It: Buoyed by strong performances from both Plummer and McGregor, "Beginners" was one of the sharpest, smartest and most charming films released in 2011. (Even Ellen DeGeneres agrees!) Mike Mills's semi-autobiographical film is heartbreaking and heartwarming, and speaks to the human condition better than some of the nine films nominated for Best Picture. Plus, there's a dog, Cosmo, and he's almost as great as Uggie. Almost.
It's Kind Of Like: Wes Anderson meets Woody Allen.
How You Can See It: "Beginners" is out on DVD now.

I have a blue hydrangea that has very few flowers. It is in a sunny location. Should I cut it back?
Dee, Westerly, RI
Hydrangea macrophylla hortensia grows best in the shade. If it is in the sun, wait until spring to clean it up and cut it back to 11 inches from the ground. You will find that if you transplant it in the spring into a shady area, it will give you more and larger flowers. Blue hydrangeas that are in the shade can be cut back in the fall to the same 11 inches from the ground. Bonemeal and a pinch of Epsom salts with help revive the blooms.
We have a 5 foot pink dogwood that isn't doing well this year. The leaves are all droopy. We have not use fertilizer. What could be the problem?
Jerry, Galesferry, CT
Anthracnose fungus has been wide spread this year. It only attacks the Cornus florida. Streptomycin injections have had some success in arresting the spread within a tree. You will find that it is less expensive to ditch the tree and purchase another specie. Cornus kousa has smaller leaves and lower growth. It has flowers that are more clustered with a pink berry. One variety, C. kousa chinensis, has longer flower bracts. C.mas has small yellow flowers in March or April. Cornelian cherry also has a red edible berry in the fall. It is pollutant resistant.
My lawn has circles of light brown dead grass. What is it and what can
I do?
Gale, Lincoln, RI
Dollar spot usually fungus appears in August and September. It generally follows a wet summer and excessive feeding of lawns. Benlate fungicide will arrest the fungus. Follow directions on the package. I would stop the fertilizer program until next spring. You will need to seed the area in the spring. You can add limestone to the area this fall.
I have two maples that are very seedy and are dropping their leaves. What could be the problem?
Audrey, Middletown, RI
I would first check for cuts in the bark. If this is so, you will need an arborist to clean them out. Two years ago oak trees experienced leave drop. This occurs when trees are holding too much moisture. The trees go into premature dormancy to protect themselves. If there is no sign of spots on the leaves and there are no earwigs, you can relax. If it is a sugar maple, you can tap into the cambium for a great supply of maple sugar to sweeten your situation.

"I could play
for Belichick"
Bill Belichick's affinity for Ravens safety Ed Reed was well documented last year on the NFL Network's "Football Life." In that program, which documented Belichick during the 2009 season, the Patriots head coach called Reed one of the greatest safeties of all time.
On Wednesday Reed, who is a free agent after the Super Bowl, said he could play for the Patriots head coach.
"Yeah, oh yeah, man, I could definitely play for Coach Belichick," said Reed. "He is a great coach. I'm sure he can help me to expand my football knowledge even more as a player and as a coach, so if I'm ever able to be around him, just like I was at the Pro Bowl, it's huge."
He may not be what he used to be but Reed would fill a big need for the Patriots, even if it's just a short rental, and who wouldn't want to have one of the all time greats in their secondary, even if it's a watered down version.
Ever since Rajon Rondo has gone down with a torn ACL, the Celtics, albeit for two games, have showed the urgency they lacked over the first half of the season. Rondo is of course the Celtics best player and one of the most unique players in the entire NBA. But with the all star point guard sidelined with a knee injury, the Celtics seem to be playing as if the game matters more.
Instead of standing back and letting Rondo take over the offense, the Celtics are now moving the ball around, hustling up and down the floor and feature a more balanced offensive attack.
That's not to say the team is better off without Rondo, we will see just how much the Celtics miss their point guard come playoff time. It just took a major injury to their star for desperation mode to click in. Look for the Celtics to play fairly well the rest of the regular season because of that urgency. But in the playoffs, where every team needs a win, they will come crashing down to earth.
Can't see this team getting out of round one without Rondo in the lineup, despite the increased effort and efficiency over the last two games.
