i visited the NNG a few weeks ago, for the Gerard Richter expo, which was great, Mies & Richter two milestones of germany culture, face to face :-)
The NNG really needs some renovation, the facade isn't in his best shape, the garden is no longer open for the public and the small but very lovely cafe is a bit out of date for a big museum crowd, the cafe has a very nice interior/atmosphere ( does anyone know if Mies also did the interior design of the cafe ?)

AP source: Tagliabue bounty ruling coming Tuesday
A person familiar with the decision says former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue will rule Tuesday afternoon on the latest round of player appeals in the NFL's bounty probe, and that any potential punishment will be delayed by a week.
The person says the delay is designed to give a federal judge in New Orleans the opportunity to rule on pending motions to throw out the suspensions and remove Tagliabue as the appointed arbitrator for these player appeals to the league. The person spoke to The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because no rulings have been announced.
The NFL's decision to delay potential sanctions for four current or former Saints means linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith may play Sunday when New Orleans hosts Tampa Bay.

We knew that Hudson planned to release the import Gradius II GOFER no Yabou and Digital Champ Battle Boxing (that's Battle Boxing, instead of all those non-battle boxing games) in October, but it turns out they've picked the earliest possible time in October to do it, which happens to be next Monday. Along with the announcement, the info pages for both Gradius II and Digital Champ are available. This is the second set of imports in a row for Hudson, as well as the second set of imports to be released as a pair.
Keeping in mind the obligatory disclaimer that Nintendo may decide at any moment to apply their veto power and just put up MaBoShi or something, we're tentatively excited. We aren't sure if this is a good time or a bad time to put out a boxing game, though.

No. 3 Kansas State and No. 4 Notre Dame each moved up a spot in The Associated Press college football poll, setting up a final four of sorts for the last month of the regular season.
Alabama is No. 1 for the ninth straight week and it is unanimous. The Crimson Tide received all 60 first-place votes. Oregon is No. 2 for the sixth straight week.
Florida's 17-9 loss on Saturday to Georgia dropped the Gators five spots to No. 8 and allowed Kansas State and Notre Dame each to move up a spot after victories.
Now the top four are all undefeated and none will play any other the rest of the way.

Santa Clara County Band Directors Association
P.O. Box 1421
Cupertino, CA 95015-1421
Honor Band Audition Requirements
Date/Time/Location: Calendar
All students enrolled in an instrumental music class with participating band directors (SCCBDA Bylaw) in Santa Clara County are eligible to audition. Students must submit an application form with all required signatures.
Students will not be given an audition without all required signatures, $5.00 non-refundable audition fee, and completed application form.
All rehearsals of the SCCBDA Honor Band are mandatory. Students failing to meet this commitment or are tardy to any rehearsal can be immediately dismissed without discussion.
Students are to report to the registration table in the Santa Teresa High School Music Building. Each auditioning student will be assigned a number to determine the order of auditions for each instrument.
All auditioning students must:
Audition Checklist
1. Did you read every detail of the Audition Instruction packet (including specific instructions about the scales and those intended for flutes & percussion)? Do NOT audition if you plan to miss any of the rehearsals, including partial rehearsals. You only have a limited amount of time to rehearse with your fellow musicians. Your absence would already deteriorate the chances of putting on a great concert.
2. Did you acquire all the necessary signatures? Did you fill in every applicable space? Don't forget $5.00 for the audition process (checks made out to "SCCBDA").
3. Did you make copies of your prepared piece (at least 2)?
4. Will you look respectable? (i.e. – something much nicer than a t-shirt & blue jeans/shorts. This is similar to a job interview.)
5. Do you know how to get to the Music Building @ San Jose State? Here's an STHS Campus Map. Get there early for your audition. Anticipate traffic. 5:00 PM is everyone's reporting time for auditions.
6. Bring a snack/money in case you have to wait longer than anticipated. Your health is a key to putting on a good audition. You will not have to remain after your audition. The SCCBDA will be listing the results on the website. They will also be trying a new means of communication by also emailing the people who made the band. Of course, you are more than welcome to stay to see the posts.
7. If you make it into the honor band, remember that the first rehearsal begins at 9:00am sharp the following morning at Santa Teresa High School!
Audition Results - Click Here
Arrive early to rehearsal on Saturday so you can find your seat. Have all necessary reeds, mutes, oils, pencils, etc. Bring a lunch/money for your break.

|Niners promote veteran assistant Ted Tollner to quarterbacks coach
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 30 January 2008 14:14
Tollner's new title also includes a designation as ``assistant to the head coach,'' Mike Nolan. San Francisco also hired Adam Gase as an offensive assistant.
Tollner, the former USC coach and longtime NFL offensive assistant, rejoined the 49ers' staff in late November for the final six games. He was an assistant to rookie offensive coordinator Jim Hostler, who was replaced by Mike Martz earlier this month after San Francisco finished with the league's worst offense.
Tollner was on the 49ers' coaching staff from 2002-04, with two seasons as quarterbacks coach and one year as offensive coordinator. He spent the following year as offensive coordinator with the Detroit Lions, who dismissed coach Steve Mariucci and eventually replaced Tollner with Martz, who was fired after last season.
Gase also spent the last five seasons on the Detroit staff.
Tollner and Martz will be in charge of fixing the offense that finished last in the NFL last season in points (219), total yards (3,797), yards passing (2,320), offensive touchdowns (23), first downs (218), sacks allowed (55) and third-down conversions (31.4 percent). Quarterbacks Alex Smith and Shaun Hill are expected to compete for the starting job.

Since the first game, and excluding the expansions which I've never played, I've been a big fan of the FEAR series. It's blend of action, horror and tight gunplay brought much of what I love about video games (namely gore, flailing limbs, and slo-mo gunplay) and threw it all together in a neat little package. The first FEAR was a damn terrifying game; on the horror meter (that I made up just now) it wouldn't rank at shit-out-your-spine terrifying, but it'd definitely score in at oops-I-think-I-just-peed-a-little.
The second game, FEAR 2: Project Origin, lost its way in the horror department, leaning more on the action part of action/horror, but there were still the creepy enemies, like the ghosts and those spine-chilling guys that controlled corpses, and plenty of eerie settings to feel terrified in. Project Origin also brought with it much improved gunplay and fixed the repetitive gameplay that plagued the original. So how does FEAR 3 stack up, and more importantly, how does it rank on my newly created Horror Meter? (patent pending)
The Baby Factor: If Alma violently raped Modern Warfare while it was lying helplessly in that weird psychic chamber from the end of Project Origin, FEAR 3 would be the result.
I say Modern Warfare not because you're asked to shoot up civilians in an airport or do all the crazy behind the scenes of war shit from that series - in fact, I could've said she raped any modern FPS game, because the result would be much of the same. You see, this game, even though it's really quite good, it almost completely devoid of scares. If it wasn't for the gore and immensely creepy environments, it would be impossible for me to label this a horror game when it's really just a great shooter with some scary tendencies.
Much of the game takes place in broad daylight where you're being pitted against waves of soldiers, and even a few soldiers that can spawn more soldiers. I never really understood that part, how are those phase soldiers able to fire arcs of lightning that teleport new soldiers? Despite it not making much sense (after all this is a game about a psychic chick who's tearing the world apart with her contractions while her two sons, one with a bullet wound embedded in his forehead and the other named Point Man, try to reach her to do, well, something), I still found it fun trying to focus on the glowing blue dude to stop him from spawning more enemies.
But it still makes no sense. Just sayin'.
The fantastic mech segments from the last game have returned in two parts - first you'll pop your cherry on a smaller mech, then you'll move on to what I affectionately refer to as Big Daddy to unleash five flavors of kickassery on any unsuspecting foes. These parts of the game are fun diversion from the two other things you'll be doing, and that's shooting things and exploring creepy places waiting to shoot the things you just know are waiting for you around a corner.
Unfortunately, none of the enemies you'll come across, with the exception of one seemingly unstoppable creature, are actually scary. In fact, you can break up the enemy types into three categories: soldiers, homeless folks, and fiery monkeys. Sure, you'll come across the occasional helicopter, mech or boss, but for the most part that's what you can expect. This ended up being my biggest disappointment, even more of a let down than the paltry 4-5 hours it takes to beat the game, because I've always liked the enemies in this series. Remember those guys I talked about earlier? The ghosts and that dude who reanimates corpses? Yeah, those were cool. Why'd you get rid of those?
Now, it might sound like I didn't like this game, so to assure you that I in fact did, let me toss a few positives at you. First, there are some genuinely unsettling places you'll be forced to explore. Even places I didn't think would be scary, like the lower part of a bridge high above the water, ended up being pretty tense for me. Then there are very creepy locales like a trek through a commercial meat freezer complete with far away sounds and distant moving shadows that I won't soon forget. Sadly, these areas don't make up much of the game but when you're cautiously walking through them you'll know you're playing a FEAR game.
For the uninitiated, FEAR 3 was built around playing through the game with a friend - a first for the series. I wasn't sure if this would ruin the scare factor for me but since we've already established that was thrown out the window, we can now focus on how well it was done. I'm very happy to say that playing as both Point Man and his recently deceased brother Paxton Fettel is incredibly fun. Point Man can slow down time and always has the ability to use whatever armaments you'll come across while Paxton can only use guns, grenades and mechs when he's possessing a foe.
This is where the real fun starts. The first time I played through the game it was alone, with the lights off, the sound up and with Enya cooing softly in the background (ok, not that last one, but the rest are true). You have to play through as Point Man until you unloc the option of playing through a chapter as Fettel once you've completed it. If you've played a FEAR game you know what to expect, and if you haven't, all you need to know is he can slow down time and has a few slick melee moves up his sleeve to unleash when he's low on ammo.
Playing as Paxton offers a completely different experience, and dare I say - a far more entertaining one. If you want to be a whiny baby face you can spend your time possessing enemies and using guns to plow your way through to each chapter. Or, you can have some fun and levitate foes (before exploding them), possessing them (before exploding them), or firing small bursts of psychic energy at them that, you guessed it, explode them (or parts of them anyway). I won't ruin anything for you but when you're playing through the game with a friend it's in your best interest to kick their ass in the score, because there's something in it for you in the end.
Speaking of the score (see what I did there?), you can grow yours by completing various challenges. Doing things like taking cover, getting headshots and performing melee moves all reward you with points that are than used to level you up. As you progress through the tiers of levels you'll increase your maximum health, be able to carry more grenades and ammo clips, and increase the number of times Paxton can use his psychic abilities and the amount of time Point Man can spend recreating scenes from The Matrix.
Unsurprisingly, I ended up liking the devilishly sarcastic Paxton more than Point Man, the silent protagonist. I'm not saying I'm terribly fond of cannibals, I just couldn't find any way to give a damn about the other dude. I understand the need to add an aura of mystery to some characters since that multiplies their badassitude by at least five, but in a horror game where I'm tasked with caring for the guy I'm controlling it's difficult to do so when he doesn't utter a word over the course of five hours. With that said, the 360 degree cover system is nice and something I'd really like to see implemented in Gears of War. How does that have anything to do with the two siblings? Oh, it doesn't, I just had to clear room for the last thing I'll be talking about before closing up this review: the multiplayer.
I'm not going to bury the lead - I fucking love this game's multiplayer, and that's saying something for someone, like me, who hasn't spent more than an hour playing the previous FEAR games online. What I love the most about FEAR 3's online offering is the modes you can play (Fucking Run, Soul Survivor, Soul King and Contractions) have been woven into the world of FEAR. There aren't any lame ass "Capture the Flag" or "Team Deathmatch" modes here, oh no sir, instead you'll be in gametypes like the Fucking Run mode, spending quality time working with your friends trying to outrun a mile high wall of unstoppable death.
The aforementioned mode is my favorite, but there's good fun to be had in the other three as well. Contractions plays much like Call of Duty: Black Ops' Zombies mode where you're tasked with barricading walls and collecting supplies so you and your allies can survive 20 waves of progressively more intimidating enemies. Then there's Soul Survivor, where four players fight each other with one player portraying the Spectre, who can possess their opponents and use them to kill the other players. The last mode, Soul King, is much like Soul Survivor only this time everyone's a Spectre and you all have to collect the souls of your fallen comrades.
The Final Word: FEAR 3 is the most exciting and addicting experience I've had so far with the FEAR games and it's the perfect entry point into the series if you haven't experienced them yet. The only drawback is the game has strayed even further from its horror roots.
This review is based on a retail copy of the Xbox 360 version of F.3.A.R., which was provided by the publisher.

The U.S. now has more than 200 times the amount of installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity than it did in 2002, according to a new report from Environment America, and the top 20 cities for this capacity contain more solar power today than the amount installed for the total country six years ago. "Shining Cities: At the Forefront of America's Solar Energy Revolution" looks at which metropolises were in the lead of PV capacity in 2013, and what cities top the country when it comes to capacity per capita. The top cities may not necessarily be the locales you expect, but this data may highlight potential markets that are hot for building PV installations? Do you work or live in one of them?

Hello Jean.
I don't think I can help you, as far as I know Julia only had 5 sisters and no brothers, Julia was born in Ireland and married William moss who was B.in Norfolk,U.K. William Joined the army & was posted to India. Julia & William both died in India. My mother was one of 5 children born to Julia & William. My mother never spoke of her childhood or her parents.I have tried to trace Williams army records,but no success, so I have been left "up the creek without a paddle" or as you put it up against the "wall". If I come up with anything in the future I will pass it on. Keep trying, Stephen.

Nouveau To Enter The Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Kernel
Published on 23 November 2009 09:10 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
16 Comments
The Nouveau driver, the X.Org project designed to provide a open-source NVIDIA graphics driver for Linux with 2D/3D/Video acceleration that's developed by cleanly reverse-engineering NVIDIA's binary driver, is about to get promoted in
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
. The Nouveau project has been around for years now and continues to
make progress
but there has yet to be a stable release of any component -- even just a DDX driver -- although their current
feature matrix
is reflecting that 2D and X-Video support is complete for all NVIDIA graphics hardware generations, many output-related features (RandR 1.2, KMS, NouveauFB) are done, and the 3D work using
is even progressing. The only Linux distribution to currently deploy
the Nouveau driver stack by default
is Fedora, considering the driver isn't even in the kernel's staging tree. This though may soon change.
With Ubuntu 9.04 it became easier to
use the Nouveau driver with Ubuntu Linux
as a snapshot of its DDX driver (xf86-video-nouveau) and its kernel DRM code were packaged up and made available through its package repositories, which continues to be the case in Ubuntu 9.10. Though after the Ubuntu Developer Summit last week for 10.04 "Lucid Lynx", Canonical is now going to put Nouveau into the kernel by default. Not too many details beyond that or their intentions are known at this time, but Nouveau developers are currently being asked about the matter.
One mailing list message can be found
. Pekka Paalanen of the Nouveau project has commented and recommended they use Nouveau's kernel mode-setting support and goes over the Nouveau project's official release steps of first needing to get this code in the mainline kernel's staging tree and then to tag and release their libdrm and DDX driver code once this support is available in a released driver. The
Linux 2.6.32 kernel
is likely what will be found in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, so for this release Canonical's kernel team will likely end up pulling in their own Nouveau support regardless of whether Nouveau enters staging in the next few months.
Having the Nouveau driver with all of its kernel mode-setting glory by default in Ubuntu 10.04 would be certainly welcomed and would be a much better option than continuing to use NVIDIA's
driver that only provides basic 2D acceleration atop an obfuscated and ill-maintained code-base and that's about it (the xf86-video-nv tree hasn't even seen any serious work done in months) with no kernel mode-setting or support for other newer technologies.
For Ubuntu Lucid we will likely not see Nouveau's Gallium3D driver appear for providing OpenGL acceleration by default for this NVIDIA hardware, but even just a proper 2D driver will be quite exciting and a huge step forward. This will also mean that a majority of the graphics cards (ATI, Intel, and NVIDIA) would all be supported by kernel mode-setting in this next Ubuntu release. To see how the Nouveau driver is currently working with your NVIDIA hardware, one easy way to test it is by trying out a
Fedora 12
LiveCD that has a recent snapshot of Nouveau. Also worth noting is
what the X stack in Ubuntu 10.04 may look like

According to Larry Brooks at the New York Post, the Rangers have assigned Chris Kreider to the CT Whale. ...i guess the Rangers took my advice yesterday. lol. This was a no brainer. Made no sense for him to either be playing four minnutes on the fourth line or sitting in the press box. Hoping he takes advantage of this move to gain some confidence and get himself back in the NHL as soon as possible. ...also guess this mean Nash is good to go tonight.

Did you all go for HIV STD testing?

Did you all go for HIV STD testing?
|Mon, 01-25-2010 - 10:28pm
What did it entail? Did he go too?
|Mon, 01-25-2010 - 10:57pm
I had my husband go get the full panel done for STDs before I would even let him touch me with a condom. He said it was extremely painful, as something has to get inserted somewhere.... = D
Of course, our circumstances are different than most on this site, as he was out of town on business for the full extent of the affair, which ended before he came back home. If you were active with your H while the A was going on, definitely get tested as well.
|Mon, 01-25-2010 - 11:22pm
H just stated that if they have to insert something, he's not going to let them, we'll have to rely on MY tests - I told him that's not fair, I wouldn't HAVE to have tests if he didn't go stick it somewhere he shouldn't have. To someone who let everyone else stick it there as well! Needless to say, I'm not happy if he should tell them they can't do that part of it. He should have it ALL- .......... thank goodness we go to the MC before the test, maybe he can talk some sense into him. As for the painful part - good, I've been through enough - and am still going through enough!!!! Your H went w/o arguement?
|Tue, 01-26-2010 - 7:46am
NO argument. I don't think he knew about the extent of the tests, but he even said he deserved every ounce of that pain. He had the tests done the day after D-Day.
|Tue, 01-26-2010 - 4:37pm
My DH and I went together. It was a requirement from me to him. Usually MM try to convince S women who sleep with them not to have S with anyone but them and usually the dummies don't have sexual relationships outside of their MM but you never know who they were with before and if they are willing to sleep with someone else's H they have no morals anyway. Either way you need to make sure you get a battery of tests done both you and him.
|Tue, 01-26-2010 - 6:28pm
Kathy, that's kinda the answer I got, don't believe it no matter what he says, I know better, this woman has quite the reputation and if she's sleeping with my H and then also with her remarried xH and he has been sleeping around on her and his now wife, then goodness knows how many that would count up to... I need to have everyone have the tests~
|Tue, 01-26-2010 - 9:39pm
My H resisted at first; saying, "I don't have anything!" and "The odds are rare."
|Tue, 01-26-2010 - 10:37pm
you should go with him and make him face the music, why should he be sparred the embarassment and humiliation that you have had to deal with because of his actions.

North/South Consonance, Inc. continues its 33rd consecutive season of free-admission concerts on Sunday afternoon February 10 when internationally acclaimed flutist Lisa Hansen accompanied by pianist Max Lifchitz present a recital featuring chamber music by composers from Argentina, Brazil, México and the United States.
The recital will start at 2:30 PM and will take place at the Bruno Walter Auditorium of the Lincoln Center Library for the
Performing Arts (40 Lincoln Center Plaza -- Amsterdam Ave at 65th St) in Manhattan. Admission is free (no tickets necessary).
Lisa Hansen has dazzled audiences and critics alike with the expressive beauty of her and tone and the brilliant virtuosity of her technique.

Grinding out their own niche
The coffee bar boom brings a hot trend and the perfect latte to the neighbourhood.

On any weekend morning you'd be hard-pressed to get a "quick" espresso at Sam James Coffee Bar at Harbord and Clinton. The lineup usually stretches from the counter and out the front door of the four-month-old café.
The neighbourhood coffee shop also attracts attention from other communities. People come from blocks away to soak up what Sam James has to offer – the bare-bones basics of espresso-based drinks and some select pastries.
Most small business owners would kill for that kind of instant success.
And while Sam James, owner of what is arguably right now Toronto's hottest new coffee shop, is thrilled, he doesn't seem too surprised.
James had been building up hype for his place for months by "blogging about it and tweeting about it."
It also doesn't hurt that he makes a flawless cappuccino, or that his shop is the latest in what is likely the biggest independent coffee shop boom this city has ever seen.
Since James' coffee bar opened in August, nine more "independents" have followed in different Toronto neighbourhoods. That makes almost 25 this year and a couple of shops, such as local darlings Dark Horse Espresso Bar and Ezra's Pound, have opened second locations.
At a time when the world of corporate coffee hasn't been doing so hot, this independent uprising may come as a surprise.
While Tim Hortons has been growing, stocks of the Canadian coffee icon have been stale since it went public in March 2006. And in fiscal 2009, Starbucks Corp. closed more stores than it opened.
Yet, many neighbourhood café owners are predicting the number of independent shops in Toronto will soon multiply.
"I think that next year, you're going to see another 20 (openings), if not another 30," says Stuart Ross, owner of Bull Dog Coffee on Granby St. near Church and Carlton.
"It's just the hot business right now," he says. "Entry is not extremely difficult. There definitely has to be a skill level, if you're talking the same quality of coffee, but it is obtainable to learn."
Ross got his training in coffee-drenched Seattle before setting up shop in a neighbourhood he says was "no-man's land" in 2004, before the boom began. He'd previously been a regular at Jet Fuel Coffee at Parliament and Carlton streets, one of the first downtown independent espresso bars.
"It's super social: that's the weird thing about this industry," says James, who left skateboard shops for an entirely different kind of grind. "People are so willing to share their ideas and philosophies."
It's also surprising to hear coffee shop owners talk about the competition. "They have an incredible atmosphere: such a well-designed place, so unique," James says of Dark Horse's signature communal tables and benches. "The (new) Spadina location. I've never seen anything like it."
Sam James and Dark Horse serve different neighbourhoods.
"I think neighbourhood is really important for that sense of community, for the success of your shop," says Dark Horse co-owner Deanna Zunde. "We wanted to be a part of that: a part of people's routine, a place that gives people somewhere to go every day."
She admits, though, that the Leslieville neck of the woods (where the original location still stands on Queen St.) almost defies economic logic. "It's insane over there! On that strip of Queen St., I could say there are easily 10 coffee shops within a three-block range. Three years ago it wasn't like that."
Zunde says many people "think running a coffee shop is ... easy money, and that's not the reality. At the end of the day you have to sell a lot of coffee to make anything."
"Go into it because you're passionate," suggests Ross, "because you love what you do."
And that passion is clear in the way Ross perks his head at every strange sound from the espresso machine; the way Zunde knows her customers by what they order; the care James takes to produce a perfect coffee every time.

Martha Stewart's photographers dodged the incredibly friendly goats at Sweet Georgia P's at Amee Farm to create these beautiful images. Farmer Joe climbed the ladder to hang these light up snowflakes on the front of the goat barn under the watchful eyes of the photo team (and the goats.)
Courtney recruited her kids to search our wedding locations for the perfect tree for the team. They found just what was needed at Riverside Farm.
Martha Stewart's team found our wedding venue in their hunt for snow, and Vermont nature did not disappoint, fresh snow fell through out the photo shoot.
Thank you again Martha Stewart Magazine for coming to Riverside Farm and letting us show the world how beautiful it is at Riverside Farm, Amee Farm and Sweet Georgia P's Farm in winter.

Riverside Farm's "Groom's Cabin" can sleep up to 8. Traditionally a place for the guys to hang out and get ready for the big day, the cabin is just a stones throw from the ceremony site. At many wedding venues so much attention is focused on the bride that the guys can feel overlooked. Don't worry guys, we've got your back. We know this is your big day too. We've designed the perfect man cabin for you. Put your feet up and watch movies on the flat screen TV, hike the trails right out your back door, then get to work with your last minute ironing and toast writing all nestled on the grounds of Riverside Farm.
As we look out our windows and watch the change in seasons … fall coming to a close and winter on the horizon … the promise of cozy moments by the fire calls to us. A favorite pastime when snuggled by the fire? Paging through old photo albums. So as the color of Fall disappears, join us as we enjoy photos from one of our most colorful weddings. A full summer, full color Vermont farm wedding!

Riverside Farm was proud to host the inaugural 431 project conference September 21-23, 2014. Inactivity rates for children continue to increase and childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years. In 2012 more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.
To stem the tide of this inactivity pandemic a passionate group of 120 elite athletes, nutritionists, fitness experts, technology gurus, and educators gathered at the Riverside Farm in the Vermont Green Mountains to develop actionable plans to increase the physical activity, nutrition and the overall well-being of our nation's young people.
It was the first meeting of what has become known as The 431 Project, a Spartan Race-sponsored charitable organization whose goal is to drive social change through the works of non-profits, socially aware corporations and individuals committed to helping the next generation lead healthier lives.
The conference was organized by Diane Stokes, 431 Project Executive Director, John Werner, founder of Ideas in Action, Joe De Sena, founder and CEO of Spartan Race, and a collection of passionate volunteers who are making it their mission to help make healthy the new normal for the next generation. The summit was also sponsored by Global Rescue, an organization which provides global medical assistance and rescue for travelers.
"The meeting was part Think Tank, part TED, part training camp," said De Sena. "We hope to set a clear course to change the world, providing catapults towards a more healthy lifestyle, and build the support network to drive results."
De Sena continues, "The 431 Project is about mobilizing a community who wants to help future generations get healthy. By working with educators in particular, we can make a difference in changing these kids' lives."
"The 431 Project Global Summit was an inspirational and powerful gathering of dedicated individuals who have a common passion to take action in improving the health and well-being of Americans. I feel there is hope for my peers and the youth of America thanks to The 431 Project," said Winter Vinecki, 15, Founder of Team Winter and 2018 Olympic hopeful in Aerial Skiing.
There is an ongoing debate – what is the best season for a wedding at our Riverside Farm Vermont wedding venue. Some say the new growth of spring is the perfect time to celebrate the new beginnings of a wedding, some believe the full lush green days of summer are the best time to celebrate life to its fullest, others insist the clean white snow of winter brings families and friends closer at warm fire side gatherings … and then there is fall.
A fall farm wedding is the classic New England wedding. What is more Vermont than barns, covered bridges and fall foliage? Here are a few favorite photos of the barns, meadows, mountains, covered bridge and natural beauty that make up our Vermont Farm wedding venue.
Every part of your Vermont Barn Wedding should be an expression of who you are and what you love. What speaks to the soul more clearly than food? Take your time when choosing the menu for your wedding. A tasting session with your chef or catering team is one of the most important tools you have available. We asked Katie from Vermont Farms Catering to share her suggestion on making the most of your menu tasting session.
What's in season?
One of the joys of a farm wedding is the opportunity to enjoy fresh seasonal foods, that's why Katie suggests you schedule your tasting in the same season as your wedding. This takes a bit of advanced planning, but it's worth it. When you eat in season your chef can prepare samples using the same fresh seasonal ingredients that will be available on your wedding day.
Get to know each other
Planning the tasting session is not just a chance for you to get to know the chef, but for them to get to know you, your likes and dislikes. Help them get to know about you before the meeting, everyone's tastes are different and it can be difficult to explain the kinds of food you like. Katie suggests sharing two or three of your favorite restaurants with the catering team, or starting a FOOD board on Pinterest and sharing it. You might also provide like and dislike list in advance of the tasting if there are specific ingredients you feel strongly about like mushrooms, bitter greens or pickled items. Be sure to give your chef a per person budget range too, that way you'll be sure their suggestions are realistic.
What will it look like?
Make the most of your tasting session and use the opportunity to select place settings and linens. Ask if your caterer can help you coordinate with your rental and linen suppliers for a full preview.
The extra step
If you are looking to take that extra step to express yourself on your wedding day ask your catering team about creating your own unique signature item. Katie and Kevin from Vermont Farms Catering have made late night pizza slices for guests to take with them when they leave the party and created custom ice cream flavors for the bride and groom. Look for ways they can help you make your wedding meals an expression of you you truly are as a couple.
Bonus Tip
Love small batch craft beers? They are the perfect detail for a farm to table locavore style meal. If there's one you fall in love with, be sure to let your caterer know as soon as possible. Craft beers are often made in small seasonal batches, if you don't buy them now and set them aside, you could miss out.
Weddings in the barns at Riverside farm are unique for their combination of the honest rustic buildings that hold them and the elegant chic events they contain. We are always honored when a group of wedding professionals choose our barns for a styled wedding inspiration shoot. Last winter photographer Christina Bernales brought a team to Riverside to create a Gothic Baroque spin on the Vermont wedding. We hope you enjoy her photos and they inspire you to see new possibilities for traditional Vermont barn wedding venues. Be sure to scroll down to read Christinas thoughts about the shoot and to see the names of all the artists and wedding professionals that worked together to create these beautiful images.
Photographer and creative Christina Bernales' thoughts on the shoot:
"Our main goal for the shoot was to put a new spin on the "Vermont Rustic Wedding Theme" by incorporating textures and bold dark colors reminiscent of Gothic or Baroque paintings while mixing in elements found naturally in Vermont. One thing people might not notice are the silk flowers we used in the arrangements. Since we planned our shoot in the winter, we decided to give silk flowers a try. Erin was able to mix live and faux florals to put together two stunning bouquets for our bride and bridesmaid.
On our main table we used driftwood and antlers for texture as well as pyrite and black tourmaline stones for a little bit of bling. One of my favorite details are the goblets, even though those particular ones could not be used to drink out of. The Red Barn at Riverside farm was the perfect location for our shoot bringing a balance of rustic and elegant. The dark patina of the wood inside and the beautiful light entering through the windows really brought the shoot and all the little pops of color to life."

The rustic chic option of a New England barn wedding is becoming more and more popular. It's a great way to combine fresh air, mountains and views with classic wedding traditions. At Riverside Farm we offer several wedding barn options and hundreds of acres of trails, woods, fields and meadows to enjoy. But how should you choose a barn wedding venue? We've come up with the 5 key questions you'll need to answer to pick the perfect barn wedding venue for your wedding day.
1. Do you just LOVE it?
What makes a wedding barn venue unique. We believe details like our hand hewn timbers, stone work and rustic railings set our Stonewell Barn apart from newer "pop up" barn structures built to warehouse weddings. Our Red Barn incorporates the classic New England red and white paint color scheme and wood plank floors. When you walk in the door of a wedding barn can you feel the history, passion, artistry? Your wedding is a day to lead with your heart, so we think it's important that the barn speak to your heart.
2. Can you light and decorate the way you want?
Once you love your wedding venue, you'll need to check on some of the practical considerations. Is there enough power, and well distributed outlets to allow you to light and decorate the space the way you need to and set the band up with their equipment without blowing fuses?
3. Can you keep your cool?
You want the rustic farm feel, but you don't want to sweat like a farmer on your wedding day. Ask if your wedding barn venue is equipped with air conditioning if you're planning a summer wedding.
4. How can we say this politely?
You want your guests to be comfortable, even the distant relatives that aren't so sure they want to leave the city. The last thing you want to do is invite them to a wedding venue that doesn't have modern on site bathrooms.
5. Will the food get cold?
Ask your wedding barn venue if they have an on site equipped space for the caterer to work from. They'll need things like a staging area, power, and water for dishes – so they can serve freshly cooked food right to your guests.

OX40L is an important costimulatory molecule that plays a crucial role in the regulation of T-cell-mediated immunity. The interaction of OX40-OX40L is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), carotid artery disease and cancer. The genetic variants of OX40L can increase the risk of SLE, atherosclerosis, systemic sclerosis and show gender-specific effects in some studies. Accordingly, we performed a case-control study including 557 breast cancer patients and 580 age- and sex-matched healthy controls to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the OX40L gene are associated with sporadic breast cancer susceptibility and progression in Chinese Han women. Seven SNPs of OX40L (rs6661173, rs1234313, rs3850641, rs1234315, rs12039904, rs844648 and rs10912580) were genotyped with the method of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results indicated that rs3850641G allele could increase the susceptibility to breast cancer (P = 0.009662), even in the validation study (P = 0.0001515). A significant association between rs3850641 and breast cancer risk was observed under the additive model and dominant model (P = 0.01042 and 0.01942, respectively). The haplotype analysis showed that haplotype A(rs844648)A(rs10912580) was significantly associated with breast cancer, even after 10,000 permutations for haplotypes in block only (P = 0.0003). In clinicopathologic features analysis, the association between rs1234315 and C-erbB2 status was significant (P = 0.02541). Our data primarily indicates that rs3850641 of OX40L gene contributes to sporadic breast carcinogenesis in a northeast Chinese Han population.

Breast cancer is a polygenetic disorder with a complex inheritance pattern. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the most common genetic variations, influence not only phenotypic traits, but also interindividual predisposition to disease, treatment outcomes with drugs and disease prognosis. The co-stimulatory molecule CD40 plays a prominent role in immune regulation and homeostasis. Accumulating evidence suggests that CD40 contributes to the pathogenesis of cancer. Here, we set out to test the association between polymorphisms in the CD40 gene and breast carcinogenesis and tumor pathology. Four SNPs (rs1800686, rs1883832, rs4810485 and rs3765459) were genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method in a case-control study including 591 breast cancer patients and 600 age-matched healthy controls. Differences in the genotypic distribution between breast cancer patients and healthy controls were analyzed by the Chi-square test for trends. Our preliminary data showed a statistically significant association between the four CD40 gene SNPs and sporadic breast cancer risk (additive P = 0.0223, 0.0012, 0.0013 and 0.0279, respectively). A strong association was also found using the dominant, recessive and homozygote comparison genetic models. In the clinical features analysis, significant associations were observed between CD40 SNPs and lymph node metastasis, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (C-erbB2), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and tumor protein 53 (P53) statuses. In addition, our haplotype analysis indicated that the haplotype C(rs1883832)G(rs4810485), which was located within the only linkage disequilibrium (LD) block identified, was a protective haplotype for breast cancer, whereas T(rs1883832)T(rs4810485) increased the risk in the studied population, even after correcting the P value for multiple testing (P = 0.0337 and 0.0430, respectively). Our findings primarily show that CD40 gene polymorphisms contribute to sporadic breast cancer risk and have a significant association with clinicopathological features among Chinese Han women from the Heilongjiang Province.

Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the most common malignant breast cancer in women, and genetic factors appear to play a significant role in the susceptibility to IDC. Alteration of DNA methylation is an epigenetic change in human cancers, including breast cancer. DNA-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is a major enzyme that determines genomic methylation patterns. In order to clarify the association of DNMT1 polymorphisms with IDC, a case-control study was conducted in women from the Heilongjiang Province, in the northeast of China. We scrutinized the 2 genetic polymorphisms in exons of DNMT1 that may influence the activity of DNMT1. Our research subjects consisted of 305 patients with IDC and 314 age-matched healthy controls. Genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Data were analyzed using the χ2 test by SPSS, version 13.0, and Haploview, version 4.1. The association between DNMT1 polymorphisms and the clinical features of IDC was analyzed. In rs16999593, the frequency of CT genotype and C allele were lower in patients than in controls (P = .028 and P = .017, respectively). Also, rs2228611 AG genotype was higher in patients than in controls (P = .015). The frequency of haplotype CA was lower in patients than in controls (P = .034). Significant association was shown between the 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms of the DNMT1 gene and progesterone receptor (PgR) and p53 status. No association was found between DNMT1 gene polymorphisms and tumor size or estrogen receptor status. Our results was a previous study, which suggested that DNMT1 gene polymorphisms in exons may provide valuable information for predicting the sporadic IDC risk and may be associated with prognosis factors such as PgR and p53 status in Chinese Han women in the Heilongjiang Province.
