In any major Packers news, the Packers thrashed the Chicago Bears, 37-3, bringing their record to 5-5 and creating a three-way tie for first in the NFC North with the Bears and Minnesota Vikings. The Packers rebounded nicely after two tough losses to the Tennessee Titans and Vikings.
Now the Packers head south for a Monday Night Football matchup with the dangerous 5-5 New Orleans Saints, who need a win as much as the Packers do.

This 919-pound bull, taken in Bloomfield by Kevin Rice of Pomfret, is the largest ever shot with a bow in Vermont and the states 15th largest overall. He got some help with his hunt, in the form of a decoy fashioned from a cardboard refigerator box. (Courtesy photo)
Pomfret fire chief Kevin Rice applied for a Vermont moose hunting permit for more than 20 years, and this year he was drawn for an archery permit. That began a process of scouting and planning that all came to fruition on October 1, the opening day of the season when he downed a trophy bull in Bloomfield.
The 919-pound bull is the largest ever taken by bow and arrow in Vermont and the 15th largest overall, according to the Vermont Big Game Trophy Club.
Chief Rice had located the big bull during a scouting trip in late September and began to plan for a way to get it within archery range when the season opened.
He and his partner, Steve Schaefer of Hartford, constructed a cardboard cow decoy from a refrigerator box they got across the river in Colebrook, and that proved to be the key to their success. He said they used their hunting knives to hack out the moose silhouette and then spray-painted it black.
They were crossing a clearcut before daylight on opening morning when they heard a bull moose grunt. As the light improved they saw a young bull and three cows. They tried calling, but that didnt seem to work. The young bull had no intention of leaving his harem and eventually they moved off.
A bit later they watched a cow and a calf. Obviously they were in a good area.
The two continued moving and calling over the next several hours until they spotted two moose bedded in a clearcut around 9:30. From a distance of 250 yards they could see that one was a cow, but couldnt identify the second animal. So they opened up their decoy and started slowly moving toward the moose.
At 60 yards the moose stood up. Now they could see that the second moose was indeed a young bull, but not the big bull the hunters were in search of. They watched as the two moose moved away.
At 11 a.m. the pair was walking along a skidder road, intermittently calling and waiting. Suddenly a moose stood up from its bed just 35 yards above them. This was the big bull they had seen days before. Rice immediately knelt down and nocked an arrow while Schaefer unfolded the decoy right behind him. The big bull quickly focused on the decoy, and testosterone took over as he immediately turned and headed right at them.
The bull came in slow and steady, posturing all the way, as Chief Rice put it. Its head was down, its massive antlers swaying from side to side and drool dripping from its mouth.
At 15 yards, Kevin stood up and drew his bow, fully expecting to have only a couple of seconds to take his shot before the bull turned and ran off, but it kept coming. Its desire for the cow made it lose all caution, and that would be its downfall. Rice said, I didnt want to shoot him straight on, and I kept thinking, hes gotta turn eventually, or step on us.
Chief Rice held off until the bull was just seven yards away. It finally turned slightly for better footing on the edge of the trail, and Kevin had the opportunity for a lethal shot just behind the shoulder. Talk about an adrenaline rush!
Soon all that hard work in preparation for the hunt had paid off. The bull only went about 60 yards before dropping. Five and a half hours later the two men had dragged and winched the huge bull out to the waiting trailer, where it was loaded and taken to be reported.
To take such a trophy animal with a bow and arrow is an accomplishment most of us only dream of. Rice and Schaefer can be proud of their success.
We decoy waterfowl and turkeys but I had never heard of a moose decoy. You can bet others will be using one from now on in an attempt to get a bull within range--Rice and Schaefer will likely be remembered for starting a new technique to hunt moose.

While the public continues to wait for news concerning the Balsams Resort development plans, Balsams View and the Town of Colebrook reached an agreement earlier this year to abate approximately $12,300 in taxes from 2012 and 2013.
In August of last year, Balsams View LLC and Balsams Resort Amenities, LLC, through attorneys at Waystack Frizzell, petitioned for abatement of taxes assessed as of April 1, 2012. According to the petition, the town assessed the Panorama Golf Course and Country Club parcel at a sum of $2,639,563, which Balsams View felt was a high amount. The taxes totalled $56,249 for the parcel, which contains an 18-hole course and several buildings.
The Balsams applied for an abatement and was denied in June of 2013. While the Balsams group considered only the golf parcel as part of the appeal, the town, through attorney Shawn Tanguay, argued that any and all taxable property owned by Balsams View serves as the subject of the appeal.
According to the settlement agreement, the town will reduce the assessment of the property to $2,339,563 for the 2012 tax year. Unless there are changes to the property that require a reappraisal, the town will adjust the assessments of the property, including the 2013 tax year, to $2,339,563 until the general reassessment of the town.
That reassessment is set for the 2014 tax year, and pursuant to the agreement, the town agreed to set the value for the subject property at $1,666,000 for the 2014 tax year. In doing so, the Balsams or any successors will waive the right to contest the assessment for 2014 and 2015. The town also agreed to process the requested abatements, with the Balsams agreeing to waive the statutory interest owned.
The agreement states that the Balsams and the town shall employ good faith to carry out this settlement agreement and to amicably resolve any disputes or disagreements hereunder. At a selectboard meeting last month, the town abated roughly $12,300 in accordance with the settlement agreement.

Following a summer-long hiatus, the Colebrook School District Facilities Planning Committee gathered in the CES library last Thursday evening, October 16. The group of school officials, teachers, students and citizens engaged in a 90-minute discussion focused on developing a wish-list of programs and classes to be considered for inclusion in Colebrook schools now and in the future.
The group began meeting last year to explore possible improvements and additions to existing school programs and curriculum, and to discuss the potential for combining grades K-12 in one building. The district completed a major addition and renovation project at the site of the K-8 school site on Dumont Street in 2001.
The project was funded in part by a bond that will be paid off in July of 2017. The consensus at the time was for that initial, Phase I project to be followed by a second, Phase II round of construction in which Colebrook Academy would be closed and the CES facility would house all grades.
The Colebrook school board began holding public planning sessions in the fall of 2013. Participants took tours of both schools, discussed whether the Academy building should continue as an operating high school after 2017, and gathered input from parents, teachers and students about how best to improve the schools curriculum and programs.
School board member Brian LaPerle was designated to chair this committee, and he called last weeks session to order at 6 p.m. with SAU 7 superintendent Bob Mills, principals Dan Gorham and Mark Fiorentino, board members Greg Placy and Rick Brock, and 20 members of the public in attendance.
After a few minutes of preliminary discussion concerning school expansion logistics, the role of the local economy in the planning process and the continuation of cooperative efforts with neighboring districts, Mr. LaPerle narrowed the groups focus to a conversation on school programs. The gathering spent some minutes talking about Advanced Placement (AP) classes and Running Start courses, and Mr. Fiorentino clarified the difference between the two programs.
Advanced Placement allows a student to test out of having to take a college course later, he said. Running Start gives students credits for completing college-level classes while in high school.
Responding to an inquiry, Mr. Mills further explained, There are no requirements that a public school must offer these classes, and there are no requirements about sending kids out of district if they want to take AP classes that their school does not offer. Mr. Fiorentino added, Also remember that any student can take an AP final exam and get credit if they pass.
At this point, the group began making a list of programs and classes. Suggestions came from all those in attendance and after 30 minutes, the list included classes in nursing, hospitality and tourism, culinary arts, environmental sciences, foreign languages including French, Spanish and Mandarin, graphic arts and CAD, media and broadcasting technology, early childhood development, firefighting and EMT training, small business administration, teaching and the arts. Mr. LaPerle noted, This is a long list and in the future we will have to decide which ones we think will be most beneficial to our kids.
He also observed that during compilation of the list, several said theyd like to see many of the proposed classes at lower grade levels. What Im hearing here is we feel that focus on the middle school receiving many of the classes on our list is important. Teacher Gina Dagesse concurred, adding, Thats why we need to get all our students and teachers in the same building as soon as we can.
After the meeting, Mr. LaPerle said he was pleased with the turnout, especially the number of teachers and staff, although I would have liked to see more parents in attendance. The next step is taking our wish-list and beginning the winnowing-down process to make it more workable. I was particularly happy to hear people start to consider what we can be doing right now apart from the Phase II considerations.
The planning committee will meet again at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 20 in the Colebrook Elementary School library and Mr. LaPerle said that all are welcome to attend.

Release: Immediate
Beverly Porter (AIR)
JERSEY CITY, NJ, and BOSTON, May 14, 2002 Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) has acquired Applied Insurance Research (AIR), a leading provider of risk-assessment and risk-management technology for all major natural hazards in the U.S. and 40 countries worldwide. The deal signals ISO's and AIR's stepped up commitment to help the property/casualty industry and other industries manage extreme-event losses that are occurring with increased frequency and intensity. Terms were not disclosed.
As a wholly owned subsidiary of ISO, AIR will continue to operate as an independent, stand-alone entity and will maintain its offices in Boston, London, San Francisco and Hyderabad, India. Company founder Karen Clark will continue to head AIR as president and CEO.
"I cannot overstate the value this acquisition brings to the property/casualty industry and many other businesses that need to anticipate and prepare for natural hazards and man-made catastrophes," said Frank J. Coyne, president and chief executive officer of ISO.
The ISO chief executive cited AIR's "outstanding leadership and proven management team" as major reasons for ISO's decision to buy the 15-year-old firm. "AIR stands out because its topflight people make it extremely successful in a business of growing complexity and importance," said Coyne.
After suffering unprecedented losses in the September 11 tragedy, the property/casualty insurance industry faces catastrophes that not only are greater than ever, but also can impact multiple lines of business simultaneously, noted Coyne. "AIR's widely recognized expertise in risk-assessment and risk-management technology and ISO's strength in the property/casualty market, its resources and extensive databases are an ideal combination."
"Together ISO and AIR will develop analytical tools our customers need to make sound decisions about pricing, underwriting, risk transfer, loss mitigation, portfolio growth and future strategies in light of increasing extreme-event risk," said Coyne.
AIR's Clark said she "looks forward to working with ISO to develop new integrated pricing and rating solutions incorporating catastrophe modeling. ISO's massive databases and unparalleled expertise in the property/casualty industry will also enable us to leverage our technology to other lines of business and perils much faster and better than we could on our own," said Clark.
"Property/casualty insurers, reinsurers, risk managers and financial-services entities have come to rely on catastrophe modeling technology to manage extreme-event risk due to natural hazards. September 11 made it painfully clear that lines of business other than commercial and personal property need to be managed with the same sophisticated, scientific technology that companies now use for property business," she said.
Hurricane Andrew in 1992 was the first wake-up call to the industry, and risk management technology has advanced significantly since then, noted Clark. "September 11 was the second wake-up call that makes it imperative for insurers to extend this technology further within their organizations."
"ISO and AIR together possess unmatched resources and expertise that large and small insurers can rely on to manage extreme-event risk efficiently and cost effectively," said Clark.
"Careful catastrophe-loss planning will help companies survive losses from future extreme events. And carriers that have integrated tools to manage extreme-event risk successfully in every phase of their business operations will prosper," Clark said.

Wonderful Christmas
Holly Springs missed the white Christmas.
But our family experienced the snow, about two inches on the ground and still falling, thanks to our Christmas Day trip to Hamilton, Ala.
My sister Vickie called early Christmas morning and asked, "Are y'all getting snow?"
"No – none," I replied
"We have a lot," she said. "The roads are OK right now, but y'all be careful driving."
So when our 8-year-old did not wake up to a highly-anticipated white Christmas, I immediately informed her that we'd make it to Alabama in time to see the snow on the ground.
Later, about 11 a.m., before leaving for Alabama, snow did start falling in Holly Springs but not sticking. Then when we returned late Saturday night, snow started falling once again when we reached Marshall County. There was more snow Sunday – but little or no accumulation.
"Everyone got snow for Christmas but us," was a common comment on the local front.
The snow scenes in Alabama made Christmas 2010 a special one, no doubt. The countryside blanked with snow was beautiful.
But even more special in late December each year is the opportunity to be with family and friends. As I near 50, I realize more and more the importance of enjoying the time together and the joy of giving instead of receiving.
There were some last-minute deliveries to the Burleson household – with some help from our good friends from the U.S. Postal Service, UPS and FedEx.
We always open presents from a long-time family friend on Christmas Eve. They had not yet arrived this year December 24 but when I went to the post office that morning, I was handed a packed box. I knew without looking who it was from.
And there were some Christmas Eve purchases by the Burlesons.
It just would not be Christmas if Pam and I did not have to rush out at the last minute and buy a few more things. Those kind of things make for some of our best memories over the years – like the drive from our former home in Aberdeen to Tuscaloosa, Ala., late one night in the quest for a doll house.
I think a gift for yours truly might have been one of the latest ones this year.
The family apparently had hoped my gift was arriving Christmas Eve, but to no avail. So instead they rushed out to buy me something different (a new DVD player) – apparently providing a clue of what was to come. Monday night, I received "The Best of Perry Mason" on DVDs.
The best times during the holidays are usually the simplest ones.
We sat around the table Friday night playing "Bamaoply," a Roll Tide version of the famous board game Monopoly. Saturday night, while visiting in Alabama, Emma, Andy and Erin sang some spiritual songs from church camp for the family. Sunday, Pam and I joined Erin playing one of her new board games, Hedbanz, and later we all watched Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 together.
I also enjoyed about a two-hour nap Sunday afternoon – something I had not experienced in some time.
It was a wonderful Christmas.

"I apologize to anyone who was offended."
Aah, that passive-aggressive non-apology apology. We've become used to seeing it in press releases after celebrity f**k-ups, but now the world seems to have caught on to how meaningless a statement it is.
These days, it's not enough to just go through the motions. In 2011 we require more than a token statement when a celeb tries to convince us that something was "taken out of context," or is "not what's in my heart."
Tracy Morgan is the latest apologetic celeb, and he seems to be working the hell out of his apology cycle, from meeting with GLAAD and GLBT teens, to loving a hypothetical gay son, to going back to the scene of his anti-gay tirade to apologize there.
His eagerness to make amends means he's either truly sincere in his apology … or he's scared sh*tless about the future of his career.
Considering that Morgan has made homophobia a part of his stand-up act for years, we're going with the latter. But we have to give him props for the amount of energy he's spent trying to convince us that he's sorry, which is a lot more than we can say for some other celebs.
Let's compare Morgan's road to contrition to some other infamous mea culpas. How do they stack up?
And more importantly, are they as bullsh*t as we suspect Morgan's apology to be?
(Note – Celebrities will be graded on a scale of one-to-five Tracys, with one being the most believable, and five being total B.S.)
Mel Gibson
In 2006, Mel Gibson went on an anti-semitic and sexist tirade after being arrested, he said, "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," and calling a female officer, "Sugar tits."
He released an impassioned apology, which included:
"The tenets of what I profess to believe necessitate that I exercise charity and tolerance as a way of life. Every human being is God's child, and if I wish to honor my God I have to honor his children. But please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite. I am not a bigot. Hatred of any kind goes against my faith."
Heartfelt words, but too bad he didn't feel that way when he refused to apologize for the antigay remarks he made over the years.
That, coupled with the violent drama with his ex-girlfriend, make his apology and promise of honoring his God a bit … dubious.

LOS ANGELES — June Squibb isn't the lady next door. Or that nice mom who makes the really good brownies for the school bake sale.
She's the actress from Vandalia, Ill., who might just be nabbing a best supporting actress Oscar for her role as Bruce Dern's never-happy, shoot-from-the-hip wife Kate in the film "Nebraska."
Already, Miss June has a big cheering section — including that other Illinois native who plays her screen husband.
"It's about time that Hollywood lets June Squibb get out there and be Rosalind Russell," Dern says. "She's one of the best actresses I've ever had the pleasure to work with and someone who is always full of surprises. And she's beautiful, a lovely person to boot."
No one is more surprised about all this hoopla than Squibb, 84. Ask her: Did the people of Vandalia ever think that she was headed for stardom?
"They all thought I was too smart for my own good!" says the good-natured Squibb. "I remember that later in my career after I had been to New York and working, I came home and I think people were surprised. They were like, 'June, you're doing WHAT?' Maybe they were a little bit intimidated by the idea of going out there and trying to be in show business."
She is being singled out now as one of the highlights of "Nebraska." where she plays the acid-tongued Kate who still thinks all the boys wanted to get in her knickers. Now, she's a senior living in Montana with her husband Woody (Dern). He gets one of those mailings saying he has won a million bucks from a publishing house and wants to go to the Nebraska headquarters to claim his prize.
"She thinks he's just plain crazy," says Squibb. "She's this strong woman who can't believe her husband will do anything including walk from Montana to Nebraska to claim what is certainly a bogus nothing. But he's determined. And she wants to stop him for his own good."
Squibb says that she didn't base the role on family members. "I didn't think of my mother or my aunts," she says."I just thought about all these women who have a tough exterior, but deep down they love their family. They would do anything for family."
In Vandalia, Squibb's mother played piano for the silent movies in the 1920s. "I always saw some of my mother in myself," she says. "I had that need to perform."
Her long list of screen credits includes "Scent of a Woman" (1992), "The Age of Innocence" (1993), "Meet Joe Black" (1998) and most memorably playing the short-lived Helen Schmidt, Jack Nicholson's wife, in "About Schmidt" (2002), by "Nebraska" director Alexander Payne. She was the woman who made Nicholson sit down each and every time he used the bathroom.
As for Oscar talk, she says, "It's just beyond anything I can think of right now."
The real win is the film. "How often does any actress get to play someone so unfiltered? I know women like that. I love women like that!"

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon [1949]
The second installment of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy (which also includes Fort Apache and Rio Grande), this meditative Western continues the director's fascination with history's obliteration of the past. It features one of John Wayne's more sensitive performances as Capt. Nathan Brittles, a stern yet sentimental war horse who has difficulty preparing for his impending military retirement. All things considered, he refuses to leave before fulfilling his obligation to the local Indian tribe. It's a film about honor and duty as well as loneliness and mortality. And Oscar-winner Winton C. Hoch beautifully photographs it in Remington-like Technicolor tones (you've never seen such stunning cloud-covered skies). The combination of melancholy and farce (Victor McLaglen makes a perfect court jester) evokes comparisons to Shakespeare. Best of all, the scene in which Wayne fights back tears when receiving a gold watch from his troops is unforgettably bittersweet. If you view the whole trilogy, it actually makes sense to save this for last. --Bill Desowitz
Abby Allshard:
How did "Marching Through Georgia" take the idea of "Old Iron Pants" riding with him?
Major Mac Allshard, Commanding Officer Fort Starke:
Under protest, my dear.
Captain Nathan Brittles:
Under WRITTEN protest, Abby, of course. It's always my pleasure to escort "Old Iron Pants". Well, as long as you're going along with us, I guess we'll have...
Captain Nathan Brittles:
Abby, that is the dad-blastedest outfit I ever did see. Quincannon's old britches.

We knew what we could take. .
In the game of seduction, there's only one rule - don't fall in love.
And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this, the reasons all have run away but the feeling never did. It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live. Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is.

Under pseudonym Lorde, Ella Yelich-O'Connor has exploded over night. With the success of single "Royals", she has burst into the mainstream of pop consciousness. With her debut LP Pure Heroine, it's ironic that she's breaking through with a distinctly anti-pop mentality.
From the jump, Lorde is stubborn-clad in her deflection of fame's disorienting light. The opener "Tennis Court" rips into the delusions of grandeur:
Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it Never not chasing a million things I want'Cause I am only as young as the minute is full of it Getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought But I know they'll never own me
It is possible that Lorde radiates the internet age of cynicism, but her glaring perception and wit shines on this song and several others admirably. On the anti-bling smash "Royals", she deftly pieces together a baller mosaic and shatters it with a hook that stays grounded as her voices soars. Rocking dimly light hip-hop sensibilities, Royals is evident that she has studied the game and she is acutely aware of fame's pressures. Sinking into a swell of isolation on "Still Sane", Lorde reality-checks herself every 6 seconds, promising to stay grounded, stay hungry and stay up on the new shit.
In other subject matter, Lorde directs her daggers at the delusion of teenage culture around her. Lorde targets staples of the millennial, taking down vanity on "White Teeth Teens", shaking the complacent apathy of youth on "Buzzcut Season" and deals with lovers' hearsay of "A World Alone". At 17, her song writing is impressively accomplished. Her songs definitely have something to say, even if they feel a bit juvenile at times. It's not that her songs feel utterly fluff in this regard, it's simply that she has room to grow, mature and temper some of the themes she speaks of (which also limited to some extent).
Lorde's voice is rich and seeps into every crevice of each mix on Pure Heroine. Overdubbing her voice works strikingly well throughout because of fantastic range. Honest, full and deep Lorde already has one of the best voices in popular music at large. Her voice stands out even further because of the synthpop, chillwave sensibilities found throughout the instrumentation on the album. Hip-hop drums, 80s dance synths with a modern sheen are paired down with strong minimalism. It all works well sonically, but a little extra punch in the percussion department would have been welcome. Not necessarily, a deal breaker by any means, but some extra grit would have been nice.
Lorde's debut LP is focused, cohesive and consistent. Pure Heroine is a mighty effort from a remarkably young artist that defies the millennial image of laziness perpetuated by crotchety 30-40 somethings. Much like strong records by other young artists such as Earl Sweatshirt, King Krule and Chance The Rapper, Lorde is lightening spritely fire under bigger, more established names and gunning for top pop spots.

The months between summer and Christmas yield some fantastic ingredients such as root veg, mushrooms, figs and game. Delia's recipes make the most of autumnal highlights.
Vanilla Creme Brulee
Make sure you start this recipe at least one day before, so the custards have time to chill.
Entrecote Hongroise
If you've been looking for a quick and easy sauce to make with steak, this has to be it...
Smoked Haddock with Creme Fraiche, Chive and Butter Sauce
It's hard to believe how good this quick and easy recipe is - the combination of flavours is quite superb. Enjoy it for lunch or supper served wtih buttery spinach.
Warm Chocolate Rum Souffles with Chocolate Sauce
Light and lovely, these beautiful little souffles have the added attraction of being less likely to collapse than a standard version. Hand round chocolate sauce and cream for even more luxury (not to mention calories!)
Twice-baked Goats' Cheese Souffles with Chives and Balsamic Vinaigrette
These can be made with Cheddar cheese and can be made a few days in advance or even frozen.
Spinach and Ricotta Souffles with Anchovy Sauce
Spinach and ricotta are a classic combination in cooking - adding an anchovy sauce is truly inspirational, as it provides a salty element that sets the recipe off to a tee.
Banana and Chocolate Chip Slice
Children and adults alike will love these cakes - perfect for a mid-morning snack or in a lunchbox.
Vitello Tonnato
An Italian classic, this wonderful recipe would work really well as part of a summer buffet.
Plum and Almond Buttermilk Cobbler
This recipe is a wonderful way to ring the changes from the ubiquitous plum crumble in late summer when plums are at their peak. Serve this with cream or ice cream for real indulgence.
Potted Cromer Crab
Potted meats and fish were originally invented to eke out fresh foods but in fact there's something so glorious about potted crab (which must come from Cromer!) that it's worth giving it top billing as a great meal in its own right.

CUBA, NY ( WKBW-TV) - A southern tier school district may be forced to close an elementary school. The Cuba-Rushford Central School District is facing a $2 million budget gap for next school year and now the district is considering closing the Rushford Elementary School
Cuba-Rushford Central School District superintendent Kevin Shanley told the Olean Times Herald, the district is facing a very serious 2012-13 budget year gap that it needs to close and that closing the elementary school would be a big step towards doing so.
"Our (the board's) initial projections are that it would save more than $900,000 in cost savings to close that building," he said. "The board still has to make a decision on how much fund balance and reserves it would have to use to close that gap and how much they're going to raise in the tax levy. Of course we're limited on that, too, with the tax cap limits. Those things still need to be decided, but everything is being considered that's not mandated at this point."

Pinpin: Chinese and Filipino Cuisine
Hearing nothing but good things about this joint, we headed over to Fraser Street to indulge ourselves in some Filipino-Chinese cuisine. Fraser does seem to have a pretty diverse selection of dives and joints, doesn't it?
Off this portion of the menu, we ordered Sisig (11.50).
Pusiat ala Pobre and the Sizzling Delight for this portion!
The first thing that came was this macaroni soup (part of the order for the Lemon Chicken and Java Rice [$8.95]). It was pretty much like drinking chicken stock which had dairy added to it. Wasn't bad, though not special either.
Here we have the Pusit Ala Pobre (squid with a WHOLE lot of garlic!). The squid had a very nice texture, in that it wasn't overly chewy, nor was it total mush either. The sauce was SOO garlicky, it'd make a vampire squeal. Overall, it was a very tasty dish though! The colder it got, the more tastier it became, oddly enough.
The Sizzling Delight was a steaming platter of assorted goodies. The sauce reminded me of the sauce used in clay hotpots in typical Chinese dishes (just to be clear, I'm not talking about the hot pots where you cook raw meats and veggies in soup). The ham was by far the most flavourful component of this, as it totally absorbed all of the juices. The chicken, I found, was a little bland though, but it might have been because I should've let it sit longer and mingle with the other foods on the skillet. The veggies were very fresh and crunchy, and the quail egg was pretty much your typical hard boiled egg.
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, the Sisig has to be one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten. At first, it looks like it'll taste something similar to sauteed ground beef, but it was very crunchy! If I had to compare it to something else, it'd be like eating roast pork skin or bacon bits. With a pinch of salt, it was one of the most guiltiest pleasures I've ever had! If you order this though, make sure you get some rice, and you have at least 3 others with you, as it's uber heavy.
Lastly, we have the Lemon Chicken with Java Rice. The rice was of the short grained variety and had a very flowery/herbal taste to it, almost like basmati rice. The Chicken tasted like it was chargrilled, though if you let it sit in your mouth long enough, you'll find it's got a very deep fried taste to it.
-Sisig (Yum…makes my mouth water just thinking about it)
-Squid and Sizzling Delight were good!
-Got pretty busy pretty fast (might have to wait if you come during prime time dinner hour)
-Kind of pricey-ish depending on what you order
-Service was a little unattentive
Closing Comments: Apparently it's one of the more authentic, homemade style Filipino joints around. Judging by my experience, I can see why, it was pretty damn good!
Overall Rating: 4 PBJ's out of a possible 5

Sony Patents Way to Check for Pirated Software Via Load Times
By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor
Posted on February 25, 2013 AT 05:46am
Posted on February 25, 2013 AT 05:46am
Sony has patented a way to use load times to check whether software is legitimate or pirated.
Basically the idea uses a benchmark load time for the selected piece of software and then checks to see if your load time is too far outside the acceptable threshold, if it is then it's goodnight Vienna. The patent fails to explain what happens if the time is outside of the threshold, but I'm guessing it's nothing good.
The patent is titled "Benchmark Measurement for Legitimate Duplication Validation" (via DarkZero) and was published on February 21. This patent is only connected to pirated software and has nothing to do with used games.

Overview of Keratoconus
By Dr. Beers
Characterized by damaged or broken-down corneal tissue, keratoconus affects as many as 1 in 500 individuals. While many people remain unaware of this disorder and its prevalence today, keratoconus represents a problematic issue diagnosed and treated by ophthalmologists throughout the world. The first signs of keratoconus include corneal bulging, which results from pressure behind the eye tissue.
This pressure causes discomfort and changes the way the eye processes light. Eventually, this can lead to distorted eyesight and compounding vision problems. Unfortunately, this problem most commonly affects both eyes as a bilateral condition. Individuals may encounter signs of the disorder as early as childhood or as late as adulthood. Biological and hormonal variances that occur during pregnancy or puberty often serve as trigger points. While keratoconus usually progresses slowly, it is extremely important to consult with a doctor in order to receive proper ophthalmological treatment.
Patients who suffer from this condition generally have two options. The first involves custom-made rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses, which allow patients with mild cases of keratoconus to enjoy improved overall vision. In the circumstance that these lenses prove to be uncomfortable and ineffective, corneal implants usually offer the best solution. This minimally invasive procedure takes approximately 40 to 60 minutes to complete and requires little or no maintenance. The implants work to modify the corneal structure, improving the patient's eyesight and overall comfort.
About the Author: Dr. Beers operates out of Mountain View, California, at his own practice, Peninsula Laser Eye Medical Group, where he serves as a highly experienced ophthalmic surgeon specializing in LASIK procedures, among others. Focused on quality care and superior service, Dr. Beers works with state-of-the-art equipment and employs proven medical techniques to best serve his clients' needs. In recent years, the Consumers' Research Council of America has recognized Dr. Beers as one of America's Top Ophthalmologists.

Things to Do Before Starting At UW-W
- Make sure all immunizations are up to date and mail the immunization form back to University Health and Counseling Services (UHCS). Recommended Polio, DPT, Tetanus, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Hepatitis B, and Varicella. Optional Pneumovax, Meningoccal.
- Write down a list of all medications, drug allergies and your health history and keep it in a safe place.
- Pack a first aid kit with Band-Aids, thermometer, tweezers and non-prescription medications, at least enough prescription medicine for one month and a self care book with a symptom decision tree.
- If you have special medical or psychiatric needs, have the appropriate release of information forms signed and the practitioner's report sent to UHCS. The start of college may not be a good time to change medications, especially psychiatric medication. If you want to continue allergy shots at UHCS, ask the allergist to fill out the UHCS allergy form and send along or ship the allergen.
- If you currently have health insurance bring a copy of the card to campus and check the following:
- How is non-emergency care in the Whitewater area covered?
- Until what age am I covered by my parent's policy?
- How many credits do I need to take to be covered?
This site is not meant to replace the advice of a health care or counseling professional. You should not rely on any information on these pages, or information generated for you by this site, to replace consultations with qualified professionals regarding your own specific situation. Some links take you to a source outside of UHCS. The owners of that site, not UHCS, are responsible for the content.

Sustainable Cities Initiative
This initiative grew out of efforts to connect work on sustainable transportation, livability and urban design with research and education programs that would better serve communities and inform policy. The Sustainable Cities Initiative takes programs such as Sustainable City Year, experts in residence and policy advising to create a long-term model of education, research and service.
Featured Project
Sustainable Cities Initiative (SCI)
Project Investigator: Nico Larco University of Oregon
The Sustainable Cities Initiative (SCI) is a direct outgrowth and integration of several research, education, and technology transfer projects supported by OTREC at the University of Oregon over the last five years. Over that period, the supported PIs initiated ways to better connect the related work on sustainable transportation, livability, and urban design into something that provided a more robust research agenda, educational experience for undergraduate and graduate students, provided better service to Oregon (or elsewhere) communities, and more directly informed the policy making and agency administration efforts around sustainable transportation topics. The result was the development of the Sustainable… Continue reading »

NVDAILY.COM | Quick Hits - Politics | A View from the Cheap Seats
Posted July 2, 2009 | Leave a comment
Quick Hits
The Cheap Seats have been vacant recently, as we've spent a huge amount of time working on a series with the rest of the news department about the impact of the recession on the Northern Shenandoah Valley.
Now that we've cleared the decks of that effort, we can turn out attention to some of the political matters piling up on the desk.
• Where's Gov. Kaine?
Democratic Gov. Timothy M. Kaine has been playing coy with his schedule lately. Not his gubernatorial schedule, but the political schedule he keeps for the Democratic National Committee as its chairman.
Both Republicans and members of the press corps have been beating on Kaine pretty hard for not being more forthcoming with the details of his travel. Kaine has said he's not going to release the schedule, but would answer if asked.
So last week, we asked. Kaine's office politely told us that the governor was in New York, but in the future to direct questions to either the Democratic National Committee or Kaine's Moving Virginia Forward political action committee.
Why the ruckus? It's all about November. Republicans see a huge opportunity here.
Kaine has never had the god-like approval numbers of former governor-turned-U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner. Putting a dent in Kaine's image by casting him as a part-time governor who raised money for national Democrats while Virginia's economy burned would make Sen. Creigh Deeds, D-Bath County, road to election in November that much harder.
• McDonnell Debates
Speaking of November, Bob McDonnell's team has challenged Deeds to no fewer than 10 debates between now and November. That's a huge number compared to recent statewide campaigns.
Why the challenge? It would seem that Team McDonnell has read "The Art of War" -- and remembers Jerry the Duck.
In 2005, Democrats mocked Republican Attorney General Jerry Kilgore mercilessly for refusing to meet the Lt. Gov. Kaine's debate schedule, branding him as the aforementioned mallard.
McDonnell's team has enough Kilgore veterans on board to neutralize the issue as soon as possible -- by proposing an unrealistic schedule of debates to which the Deeds' campaign would be flatly nuts to assent. Kaine had a significant rhetorical advantage over Kaine, but Deeds and McDonnell are much more evenly matched.
Being first in the field gives McDonnell control of the issue, and the duck stays unemployed for the 2009 election cycle.

Don't try the Gay Gordons - they just end up tying themselves in knots! Cumberland Reel is usually
very successful (especially if they're encouraged to count to 6 aloud for the casting - they don't
know 6 is an unusual number in SCD so it doesn't worry them the way it seems to worry experienced
dancers). I've only taught Brownie Packs for one or two evenings, so can't help much with a

What does real-time mapping with New York City public school kids look like? Recently, Digital Democracy was invited to work with 120 young people from all 5 boroughs as part of the Department of Education's "Future Now" program.

My task was to engage the kids in a conversation about what they'd like to see in the year 2020.

Perception have just released a case study of their recent UI work on Robocop.
Perception do a great job at showcasing their work. We previously posted a link to their work on Europa Report, which was just as good. There's explanations of the project as well as heaps of alternate designs and concept designs, which you wouldn't normally see.
Their work on Robocop included amongst other things HUDs, touch screens and screen designs. The key elements to note are the targeting sequences and threat assessment shots, which are in a similar vain to Terminator Salvation and Battleship.
The Robocop HUD looks almost like a game HUD, with vitals and ammo/weapon readouts locked to the sides. It also looks like they haven't retained the green LED look from the original and gone instead for a red and white colour palette with contemporary type to modernise the HUD along with the suit. Looking through the HUD makes you feel like you're in a video game. Perhaps this was intended to help the audience empathise with the cyborg.
The highlight for me would be the environment scanning sequences. I love the look of the red beam that gets sent to the far end of the room (at about 00:23), that analyses the environment. It's so luscious and organic, and sometimes the organic approaches feel more advanced than the overly technical.
What also stood out was the threat assessment shots, detailing the target's vitals, and analyzing everything from fingerprints to retinal scans. What's great is that you can see the robots physically scanning the database, so you can imagine being the target and seeing a blank look on the robot. It'd probably look a bit weird but you now know that it's just taking time to process all the information. Interestingly, the EM 208, ED 209 robots predates Robocop, so perhaps this wait time was a clever way to make it look like an older version of the technology.
I also stumbled on this page 'Experience Perception' which explains the company's positioning and how they've geared their business towards 'Future-tech for film' and 'Concept design for Next Gen UI'. It's really interesting to see more company likes Perception and OOOii appear who specialise in UI for film, which proves that there's really a market for this type of work now.

Ok, what I am trying to do is create a page where someone can sign students up for classes. First, they select the student. Then, a table comes up with periods. Each "period" has a corresponding list of available classes. The person would select an available class and that would assign that particular class to that student for that period.
Well, right now, to do this, I am updating the null values in that student's period. This seems to be working fine.
But, let's say the student already has a class picked for that period. Can I have it so that the first option selected is that class and it says "(already scheduled)" right before that option in the select box. And then, it would go on to list the available classes for that time, but it wouldn't list the one already selected. How can I go about doing that?

Joe Stack, Janet Napolitano and the definition of terrorism
March 11th, 2010 | Agencies Homeland Security | Posted by Gregg Carlstrom
Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano was on the Diane Rehm show earlier this week. Part of the interview focused on Joe Stack, the man who flew his small plane into the IRS building Austin, and Napolitano — who clearly wanted to avoid calling Stack a terrorist — offered a slightly odd definition of terrorism.
He used a terrorist tactic… but he's not necessarily a member of a terrorist group… this is an individual who had his own personal issues and personal motives… he used that [the attack] as a means of carrying out a personal agenda.
[...] The issue is tactics, organization, motives. When you get to the lone wolf, it's very debatable whether you want to put them in the same bucket [as someone like Timothy McVeigh].
A couple of points here. There's no universally accepted definition for terrorism, but it's generally agreed upon that terrorism is the use of terror tactics in service of a political goal. So it's the tactics themselves — not the degree of organization — that determine if someone is a terrorist.
Second, I'm not sure there's a clear distinction between Stack and McVeigh, because both were lone wolves. McVeigh had an accomplice, Terry Nichols, but he wasn't part of any organized terrorist group. Nor was the Unabomber. Nor was John Allen Muhammad, the Beltway sniper. Outside of the 9/11 attacks and the first World Trade Center bombing, most of the terrorist attacks in America over the last few decades were carried out by "lone wolves."
Readers — what do you think? Should Stack be classified as a terrorist? And more generally — what do you think about the recent anti-government violence, in Austin and at the Pentagon Metro station? Part of a trend?

There are several interesting points here. While there is no generally accepted definition of "terrorist" (one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist) from the point of view of Janet Napolotano, whose concern is homeland security, I can see why Joe Stack is not a terrorist. He did not represent a threat from an organized group that could harm the US. For everbody else, what difference does it make?
Joe Stack was a friend of mine. He was not crazy. However, he did lack the ability to handle stress. I think this is why his manifesto is so hard to label left-wing or right-wing. He represented, I believe, the growing population of people who are just angry. I do think this is an alarming trend perpetrated by increase of anger and intolerance of our leaders and media pundits. Our country seems to be under going a generalized fear attack. Guns sales are skyrocketing–and for what? It seems like there are no longer respectful disagreements–you're either on my side and very angry or you're a socialist, communist, fascist or something else insulting.
My fear is that this is a part of a trend.
I thought Joe was a bit "tightly wound" but otherwise a regular "Joe". But he chose to end his life with violence and destruction–forever changing the way he is remembered . I wish I had said "chill Joe" when I had the chance.

March 12th, 2010 at 10:17 am
What about VA Tech and Columbine? Kind of reminsicent of the tactics used in the Mumbai terror attacks.
The question is, is it the tactic or the intent? Stack used a terroristic tactic and had a goal/objective of conveying his displeasure with the government and political system by using violence. So he fits both criteria.

An After-Hours Spot Above All the RestBy Jake Mooney
As anybody with a weakness for weepy film romanticism knows, closing time at the Empire State Building's observation deck was always the stroke of midnight — right? Cary Grant waited up there for Deborah Kerr until the clock struck 12 in "An Affair to Remember" (1957), and Meg Ryan had to talk her way past a security guard to meet Tom Hanks there at night in "Sleepless in Seattle" (1993).

Can Google Untangle the New York Transit Web?By Patrick LaForge
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Web site tends to crash in a crisis (although the agency claims to have fixed the problems). Some just think the site is hard to use. (And, of course, the subways and commuter lines are just part of the New York region transportation network.)
So it is no surprise that some New York transit watchers perked up at a report from Bloomberg News today that Google is planning to create a transit guide and trip planner for the New York region.

The Bloomberg Angle to Colbert's 'Wristgate'By Michael M. Grynbaum

The plaster cast has been signed by a number of celebrities — including Tony Snow, the White House spokesman, and the news anchors Brian Williams and Katie Couric. It is being auctioned for charity on eBay, through Sept. 2. (As of 3:15 p.m. today, the price stood at $2,850.)
It turns out Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg also got into the autograph act. His name popped up on "The Colbert Report," which featured a brief video clip of the mayor meeting Mr. Colbert and scrawling his John Hancock.

So often in journalism, the matchup between story and reporter is crucial. City Room asked me what it was like to report this article, part of the weekly Summer Rituals series, and I can say that it was one of the coolest assignments I've ever had.

For decades, I have not only been a tango aficionado, but also a champion ballroom dancer and an award-winning writer on the sublimely specialized world of the dance. Not.

Like a Mute Button for HateBy Michael Brick
The sidewalk ranter of southern Park Slope has an iPod now. It's the best thing that's happened to the neighborhood in months.
The man, who did not give his name (because he was not asked), spends most mornings wearing a Mets jersey and sitting in front of the La Dolce Vita deli on Seventh Avenue and 14th Street in Brooklyn.
There he waits for neighborhood Yankee fans to meander by, at which point, as they say, it's on. He unleashes a stream of invective describing the Yankees' many shortcomings, not the least of which includes the team's employment of, in the man's opinion, far too many black and Hispanic players. Only he doesn't use the words black and Hispanic.

Answers From the 'Suburbanization of New York' Editors, Part 4By The New York Times
Following is the fourth and final set of responses from Jerilou Hammett and Kingsley Hammett, the editors of "The Suburbanization of New York" (Princeton Architectural Press, 2007). The book is a collection of 14 essays about the economic and social changes that have swept the city over the past two decades and the Hammetts, who are husband and wife, run DESIGNER/builder magazine. They took questions from City Room readers this week.
Cole: I saw neighborhoods in Manhattan destroyed in an attempt to turn the city into a theme park for the hyper wealthy. Sadly, so much history has been erased. There are no gritty areas left anymore; the meatpacking district is now a leper colony for trendies. NYC resembles the Las Vegas version of NYC; Broadway musicals, now Vegas floor shows.
