C63 AMG Black Series Tackles Laguna Seca
It seems that Mercedes is bent on dethroning the BMW M3 as the car of choice for sporty coupes. This video follows the announcement of the C63 AMG Black Series' outstanding time at the Nurburgring, where it bested the current M3 GTS's time by 2 seconds. In that hot lap at the Ring, the C63 Black Series was also only short of the Porsche 911 Carrera S' time by 2 seconds. With its 517 horsepower 6.2 liter V8, this Black Series coupe has got the motivation and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission it needs to run with the best.

The Early Years
Despite great tragedy and numerous obstacles over the past 180 years, MUSC has grown and continued with its mission of creating highly trained and talented medical professionals while serving to better the health of the citizens of South Carolina.
Many men and women can be credited with the success of MUSC. A few deserve special mention.
The University traces its origins to visionaries such as David Ramsay, M.D., who must be credited for first introducing the idea of a medical school in South Carolina. Dr. Ramsay was an incredible man. He was from Pennsylvania and graduated from medical school at the University of Pennsylvania, studying primarily under Dr. Benjamin Rush, one of the founders of the first medical school in the United States.
David Ramsay, M.D. (1749-1815)
The son of a Scottish-Irish Pennsylvania farmer, Ramsay started a very successful medical practice in Charlestown, South Carolina.
Unfortunately, Dr. Ramsey was killed by a crazed patient in 1815. Twenty years later, his dream and vision for a medical school in South Carolina was realized.
David Ramsay, probably delivered the first 4th of July oration ever given in America
The first faculty of the Medical College consisted predominantly of young men (only 2 were over the age of thirty). The following men formed the first faculty of the Medical College. Each has a unique story and all helped to create the Medical University of South Carolina:
First Faculty of the Medical College
|Thomas Grimball Prioleau, M.D.
Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Infants
|Edmund Ravenel, M.D.
1791- 1871
Professor of the Chemistry
Samuel Henry Dickson, M.D.
|Stephen Elliot, LL.D.
1771- 1830
Professor of Botany and Natural History
Henry Rutledge Frost, M.D.
John E. Holbrook, M.D.
|James Ramsay, M.D.
1798- 1832
Professor of Surgery

Landscape Planning
The Strategic Environmental Delivery Group is involved in a number of land use planning documents and processes. These include the South East Regional Plan, the Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework and the Local Transport Plan at a County level and, at the local level, the District Local Plans, Local Development Frameworks and development control applications. The level and type of involvement varies, but the common thread is the sharing of landscape knowledge and expertise to inform plans, policy and decisions.
Underpinning the knowledge and expertise is a raft of information, including Landscape Character Assessment, Historic Landscape Characterisation, the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens and the Hampshire Integrated Character Assessment. These studies provide the basis for expert advice to internal and external partners on land use planning matters ranging from green infrastructure to criteria based landscape policies to coastal management plans.

Sisko Gallery scares up some 'Creatures of the Night'
At Seattle's Sisko Gallery, a new group show, "Creatures of the Night," takes up a Halloween theme through Nov. 11, 2012.
Seattle Times arts writer
'Creatures of the Night'11 a.m.-5 p.m. Fridays-Sundays through Nov. 11, Sisko Gallery, 3126 Elliott Ave., Seattle (206-283-2998 or www.siskoworks.com).
They can be human or reptilian, winged or pawed, angelic or diabolic.
Whichever they are, they're suitable subjects for a Halloween-themed exhibit.
That's what the recently reopened Sisko Gallery has lined up with "Creatures of the Night," a group show featuring work by seven artists.
Thomas Wood makes the most macabre splash with his aquatint etchings. In "Some Beasts Will Eat Anything," two wolf-headed creatures sate their appetites — one with unabashed delight, the other more furtively. The oddities of the image are heightened by the way one of the victims rests on his side, Christ-like, patiently awaiting consumption.
Other Wood highlights include "Vase of Creatures," with its cornucopia of distorted human and animal faces, and "The Terrible Boy" who, with his twisted lips and overgrown ears, looks older and sadder than the word "boy" suggests.
Charles Emerson's oil-on-canvas "Trajectory of Angels" evokes the essence rather than specifics of angelic beings making fiery, ethereal traceries across a backdrop of autumnal colors. Michael Bergt's gouache/colored-pencil "Omen" hints at a homoerotic variation on Hitchcock's "The Birds," as its male model gazes sullenly at you over his shoulder while stylized crow silhouettes hover behind him.
Bergt also contributes one of several striking sculptures in the show "Fallen Angel." Its potbellied figure in bronze is missing one wing and has his head tilted back and right leg striding forward, as though without a care in the world. His "fall" has less to do with agony than insouciance.
Steve Worthington's huge bronze toad, "Big Boy," greets you at the gallery entrance. With its hooded eyes and ridge and warty skin, it has a powerful presence. Worthington's scampering life-size mice in bronze — "Sprightly," "Nosey," "Chubby" and "Pugnacious" — have a more festive air.
Gallery owner John Sisko doesn't often blow his own horn as a sculptor, but he's right to include some of his bronzes in this show — especially his disembodied "Seated Arm" which, with knuckles anchoring it to its pedestal, rises counterintuitively into the air, and his two takes on the Minotaur legend, in which male figures, hands knotted behind their backs, engage in a struggle with the feral. The curiously mottled surfaces of Sisko's minotaurs add to the marble-like richness of their appearances.
There are a few questionable items in the show — John Cole's gentle autumn landscape, "On the Skagit," seems out of place — but there's enough spookiness here to keep the Halloween spirit going into November.

Plotting the Frequency of Twitter Hashtag Usage Over Time with R and ggplot2
The 20th annual ISMB meeting was held over the last week in Long Beach, CA. It was an incredible meeting with lots of interesting and relevant talks, and lots of folks were tweeting the conference, usually with at least a few people in each concurrent session. I wrote the code below that uses the twitteR package to pull all the tweets about the meeting under the #ISMB hashtag. You can download that raw data here. I then use ggplot2 to plot the frequency of tweets about #ISMB over time in two hour windows for each day of the last week.
The code below also tabulates the total number of tweets by username, and plots the 40 most prolific. Interestingly several of the folks in this list weren't even at the meeting.
I'll update the plots above at the conclusion of the meeting.
I'll update the plots above at the conclusion of the meeting.
Here's the code below. There's a limitation with this code - you can only retrieve a maximum of 1500 tweets per query without authenticating via OAuth before you receive a 403 error. The twitteR package had a good vignette about how to use the ROAuth package to do this, but I was never able to get it to work properly. The version on CRAN (0.9.1) has known issues, but even when rolling back to 0.9.0 or upgrading to 0.9.2 from the author's homepage, I still received the 403 signal. So my hackjob workaround was to write a loop to fetch all the tweets one day at a time and then flatten this into a single list before converting to a data frame. You still run into the limitation of only being able to retrieve the first 1500 for each day, but #ISMB never had more than 1500 any one day. If you can solve my ROAuth problem, please leave a comment or fork the code on GitHub.

Very useful post, thanks. So far I have the exact same issue as you using ROAuth 0.9.2. Also, I think the "until" parameter for searchTwitter() is very confusing. It seems to mean "up to but not including", whereas my brain would interpret it as "up to but not later".ReplyDelete
A week ago, I was using the twitteR package as well and the ROAuth problem seems to be rampant.ReplyDelete
I stumbled on the maintainer of the library's post, and it stated that he and Hadley are working to fix it
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one having problems with ROAuth. Glad Jeff and Hadley are working on it.ReplyDelete
I'm getting this message:ReplyDelete
- "Rate limited .... blocking for a minute ..."
Any ideas?

National best-selling author and New Mexico native Michael McGarrity takes listeners to the wild territory of the late 19th-century American Southwest for this epic tale. After the deaths of his wife and brother, John Kerney gives up his West Texas ranch and heads south in search of a new home. Soon Kerney is offered work trailing cattle to the New Mexico Territory - a job that will forever change his life.
©2012 Michael McGarrity (P)2012 Recorded Books, LLC
"A fine tribute to New Mexico"
Mr McGarrity did outstanding job of research in New Mexico history and seamlessly wove it into his plot. His characters ring true - with all their strength and flaws. I love the way he portrays strong women. I recognize my father in his gentle hard working people of Tularosa and my mother (a Canadian), a World War II veteran nurse- another strong woman of character - who met ( and later married) my father in that war. His descriptions of the geography and weather of New Mexico. The way he used Eugene Manlove Rhodes in his story was great. The hard life of the ranchers was very well portrayed as well as the Mescalero Indians.
I was fortunate to meet Mr. McGarrity when he spoke and read the first chapter of this book in Alamogordo, NM. It is my understanding it was the first of 3 books. I look forward to the rest and thank him for all his hard work on this book.
I've heard people compare it to Lonesome Dove - but they are wrong - it stands alone and will become the new benchmark. It is a cut above.
Yes, he does a fine job of narrating this tale.
I don't think a movie would cut it. It needs to be a mini series.
This book is a tribute to all New Mexicans.
"Enjoyed it!"
I enjoyed Michael McGarrity's new book. It's different than his other books--following a family in New Mexico in the 1800's and early 1900's. The ending left me wondering if there will be a sequel. George Guidall is a wonderful narrator.
"Solid if Uninspired Cowboy Tale..."
I'm a Michael McGarrity fan and I like his Kevin Kearny universe. This is a waaaay prequel that delves into the Kearny ancestry between the Civil and First World Wars. I was looking for some insight into what made Kevin Kearny...Kevin Kearny. Perhaps I'm asking too much. But, I'd like some foreshadowing and such. Not there. Not really. So, this story must be taken on its own merit and the result is a standard cowboy yarn. Not bad. Not terrific. Just okay. That is all.
"Hard Country lives up to it's title."
This is the best book I have listened to in over a year. My husband is the lover of coyboy stories, but this sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try. Don't let the lenght of the book deter you, I wanted more.
The characters are really well developed, the writer and narrator give you a real feel for the times and country. This is no place for wimps and thouchy-feely types, rather tough, stoic, deal with the situation and move on types. Which is not to say there is no friendship or love for characters. Quite the opposite, the story shows how love, loyalty and friendship bridge the years.
The story runs from the mid 1800's to WWI, chronicling the changes in the country side, towns coming and going, and inventions (electricity/ cars). The characters are so real, and the narration is superb. I will definitely look for more books narrated by George Guidall.
"Hard country, but an easy listen"
Every so often, I like to listen to an old fashioned western, complete with cowboys, cattle drives, and gun slingers. This was a great choice. Good story, well narrated, and an easy listen. If you like books like Lonesome Dove and that genre, you'll like this. So "jingle your spurs", download, and enjoy.
"For want of an ending"
I really enjoyed this book - the writing and narration were way above average. I would have enjoyed it more if there had been an ending that matched the story. It just sort of stopped at the nearest scene even if the scene didn't make sense
"Not a formula cowboy story"
Characters with depth, unexpected events, insights into regional history, outstanding reader. You do not have to like western novels to appreciate this book.
"A Great Novel"
The book very nicely walks you thru a family's day to day life, in New Mexico from late 1800's to early 1900s. The characters were developed well and very real.
I really enjoyed sharing part of their life on their small cattle and horse ranch and in the small towns, feeling their joys and sorrows.
I have been audible member for almost 10 years and this book is in my top 10 list, up there with Painted House. I was very disappointed when it ended.
I am going to pick up another one from this author this month.
"Settling the West"
A very good novel of the hard life of the pioneers of the west and the characters, especially the heroine and the Mexican pioneers, were complex and very fairly written. I think I will listen to anything George Guidell reads and love it, though!
"Good ole western yarn...."
Just a simple cowboy story. very easy to read or listen to, yet I truly got into the characters and felt their joy, sorrow, and pain. I read/listen to "The Son" and enjoyed it but like this story better. Looking forward to the sequel. Highly recommended.

When it comes to the self-portrait, David McNally knows exactly what he is doing. He embarked on a 365-Day Project inspired by the 365 Flickr group. The rules are simple: take one self-portrait every day for a year. Some are arms length self-portraits, some are taken another way, and some are on the artistic side. They're all insightful, funny, heartwarming, interesting, and very, very human. Here's how he describes the photos in his book JOURNEY IN SELF-PORTRAITURE, The 365-Day Project:
Enter the wildly creative world of [self-portraits] for one year. Giving birth to a new idea daily may not be painful, but it sure can be a challenge! This collection of 365 images [shares] a slice of my personal life, help me to [understand] who I am and reveal how others perceive me. How many ways can you find to portray yourself?
We love how this book is the convergence of so many cool things: A photographic experiment, a yearlong book project, Flickr, an exploration of self-perception, journaling, and sharing through social print media. Congratulations David, your book is a creative accomplishment. We all found it to be very unique and we enjoyed it very much.
So, do you take pictures of yourself? What do you use them for? What's your technique for getting the perfect arms length self portrait? And lastly, would you take on a 365 book project? If so, tell us about it.

Medical Travel to Mexico Stays Healthy, Despite Safety Fears
This is the second in a two-part series about medical tourism to Mexico.Although Mexico's much-publicized drug-related violence has hurt medical tourism in some regions, strong factors favor the continued growth of medical travel to Mexico – and with it, opportunities for travel agents.Tops among these factors is the high cost of healthcare in the U.S. Another factor favoring medical tourism to Mexico – government and private groups in Mexico are undertaking initiatives to promote Mexico for medical travel. (See sidebar.) Experts also note that medical travel to Mexico's resort destinations remains strong, despite security concerns elsewhere in the country. Parallel trendsStill, travelers' concerns about violence undeniably are shaping medical tourism in Mexico. "Medical tourism to Mexico parallels tourism to Mexico in general. It has definitely declined in those places with security concerns," said David Vequist, Ph.D., founder and director of the Center for Medical Tourism Research in San Antonio, Texas. (Editor's note: Vequist is a featured speaker at the Well-Being and Medical Travel Conference, June 20-21, in Scottsdale, Ariz.) Baja suffersPatrick Osio, vice president and co-founder of the Baja California Medical Tourism Association, noted that "Monterrey is definitely suffering. And, Baja has seen a major decrease in medical tourism as well. Some specialties, such as dental care are down by 50%." One expert who doesn't see a precipitous drop in medical tourism to Mexico is Robert Page, vice president of operations of MedtoGo International. The Temple, Ariz., company is one of the growing numbers of facilitators that advise would-be medical tourists about treatments and care in foreign countries. "There have been some incidents of violence in Mexico affecting Canadians recently. So, we've seen fewer Canadians looking to go to Mexico right now. But we're seeing a consistent flow of Americans," said Page.Warning has little impactThe U.S. State Department Travel Warning for Mexico, issued on Feb. 8, 2012, has not had much impact, he said."For the most part, the State Department warnings haven't affected the destinations we use substantially, such as Puerto Vallarta, Leon and Mexico City. We did formerly send people to a hospital in Hermosillo, but now some don't want to be so close to the border."Affordability still keyPage noted that security concerns are counterbalanced by other factors. "Higher insurance deductibles are an incentive to go to Mexico. And, any time you have a savings of 60% or so, that's enough to attract folks.""The key is making people realize that they are going to be taken care of from the moment they step off the plane," said Page. Osio added that "medical travel to Mexico may be weakened, but unless health care suddenly becomes affordable in the U.S., it will find a way to come back."Resort areas & medical tourismResort destinations that offer medical tourism, such as Cancun, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta, have fared much better in maintaining a steady clientele of medical travelers. Those cities were cited as having "no security advisories in effect" in the latest State Department Warning. And their appeal as beach destinations doesn't hurt, either.Travel agent opportunitiesDespite the challenges, Mexico's medical tourism creates opportunities for travel agents.Medical tourism facilitators often work with agents to arrange travel for clients. Companies such as MedtoGo International also offer referral fees to travel agents. "We've had a number of agents send out e-blasts about medical tourism to their client list. Some of them have even put banner ads for us on their web site, and we pay them a fee for referrals," said Page. Vequist offered this advice: "Keep in mind that the Internet is the number one source of information about medical travel. Studies show that it's the third-most common online activity; right after email and social media, people look for health care information. "So, it's not a bad idea (for travel agents) to develop an online presence as a medical travel expert," said Vequist.Please see Part One, "Mexico's Medical Tourism Keeps Pace With the Times," March 21, 2012.
It's not a bad idea to develop an online presence as a medical travel expert.David Vequist, Center for Medical Tourism Research
Government and private industry in Mexico are taking steps to bolster its lucrative medical tourism segment. The government of Mexico announced an ambitious medical tourism marketing plan in 2010 directed at U.S. visitors. Unfortunately, the initiative stalled when it failed to involve local and regional representatives in Mexico, according to David Vequist, Ph.D., of the Center for Medical Tourism Research in San Antonio. "The failure of the federal government to take a more active role means that Mexico is losing medical travel market share to places such as Costa Rica and Panama. Reducing violence is obviously a piece of the puzzle," said Vequist.Local initiativesLocal governments in Mexico are taking matters into their own hands by exploring options to bring back medical tourism. "Jalisco has been very proactive, as have Puerto Vallarta, Monterrey and Mexico City," said Vequist. And Mexico City's undersecretary of health has sent delegations to Chicago, Los Angeles and San Diego to tout that city's medical facilities. But some markets, such as Baja, are hard-pressed to find a solution. "It's difficult to take measures to get the medical tourists back or reassure patients when income is down so substantially. That also means that investment in new and improved facilities is down as well," said Patrick Osio of the Baja California Medical Tourism Association.

Gem diopside deposit, consisting of alkaline pegmatite veins that are hosted in marble. Individual veins are up to 300 m long and contain green diopside crystals of gem quality owing their colour to a small chromium content. The crystals are fully transparent, show prismatic or tabular-prismatic habits and measure 1-3.5 cm x 0.3-1.2 cm on average, but can be up to 7 cm long and up to 3 cm in diameter. Marbles in the northern part of the deposit also host diopside ore bodies that are 10-50 m long and 1.5-2 m wide, which produce fractured or cloudy crystals of an inferior quality. Marbles in the southern part of the deposit contain phlogopite and sodalite.

Definitions for visual field
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word visual field
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
vis′ual field′(n.)
Category: Ophthalmology
Ref: field of vision.
Origin of visual field:
Princeton's WordNet
visual field, field of vision, field of regard(noun)
all of the points of the physical environment that can be perceived by a stable eye at a given moment
Visual field
The term visual field is sometimes used as a synonym to field of view, though they do not designate the same thing. The visual field is the "spatial array of visual sensations available to observation in introspectionist psychological experiments", while 'field of view' "refers to the physical objects and light sources in the external world that impinge the retina". In other words, field of view is everything that causes light to fall onto the retina. This input is processed by the visual system, which computes the visual field as the output. The term is often used in optometry and ophthalmology, where a visual field test is used to determine whether the visual field is affected by diseases that cause local scotoma or a more extensive loss of vision or a reduction in sensitivity.

Universal Display Corporation Strengthens Management Team With Addition Of New Vice President Mauro Premutico
Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED ® technology and materials, today announced that Mr. Mauro Premutico, previously Managing Vice President and Chief Patent Counsel at The Walt Disney Company, has joined the company as Vice President, Legal and General Manager, Patents and Licensing. Premutico brings decades of experience in patent protection, intellectual property law, and licensing to Universal Display.
"We are delighted to have Mauro join our management team as we continue to build our company as the leading OLED technology developer and material supplier to the display and lighting industries," said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Display. "Mauro will lead our strategic initiatives to manage, defend, and further enhance our intellectual property. With his years of international experience in patent enforcement and defense as well as license negotiations, Mauro will play a key role as we move into the next phase of growth for our customers and shareholders."
While at The Walt Disney Company as Managing Vice President and Chief Patent Counsel, Premutico managed the patent legal and corporate technology licensing teams for all Disney companies, served as lead negotiator on all significant patent and technology licensing matters, and developed teams that monetized Disney's patent assets.
Before Disney, Premutico worked as Vice President, Intellectual Property Law and Licensing and Assistant General Counsel at Lenovo Group Holdings, where he helped build and oversaw its patent portfolio management and licensing teams in the U.S., China, and Japan. Before serving as Special Counsel at the law firm of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton in New York, N.Y., where he was co-head of the Intellectual Property and Technology Practice, Premutico served as Vice President, Intellectual Property and Assistant General Counsel at Symbol Technologies, where his responsibilities included enforcement of its patents and negotiating key technology transactions.

New email accounts missing default imap folders
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to set up courier imap on Fedora Core 5.
I *think* I have nearly got everything sorted out, but have one final problem.
When I create a new email account (using ISPConfig), the user is created successfully (ie Maildir folder is created with courierimapkeywords, cur, new and tmp folders + courierimapuiddb file), but there are no default "send" or "trash" folders, or a courierimapsubscribed file.
I can log into these accounts with Squirelmail (can only see the inbox), but I don't think I can successfully send emails.
I can manually create the folders, and the courierimapkeywords file, at which point all works fine (ie can send emails)
Can someone give me some pointers where to look?
Have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...ht=maildirmake
What is the content of your squirrelmail's config.php?
Hi Falko,
Thanks for the two replies...
I think maildirmake is a tool designed for creating shared folders (not what I wanted) - I think my problem is more of a config problem somewhere - for some reason the default folders (sent and trash) don't seem to be being created - I don't like the idea of manually creating a shared folder as a substitute!
Hi Tycho
My Squirrelmail config.php looks like...
<?phpMy copy of Squirrelmail was installed using the ISPConfig Squrrelmail package, and modified with conf.pl to use the default Courier settings.
Can someone give me some ideas on which program is responsible for creating the default folders? I get the impression that when a new email account is created that the send and trash folders are not created at this time - it is left to the first imap client that logs in to do this (eg Squirrelmail or Outlook etc) - is this correct? Are these folders created regardless of whether it is the first time that the account has been logged into?
My maillog has the following in it when I try to log in:
Dec 26 20:04:20 uksys01 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]Note: I've tried to implement the mod that allows me to log in using user@domain
Is it somehow possible that although courier imap is authenticating my email login successfuly that in reality it does not have access to the Maildir folder, and that as a result it cannot access the "Inbox"? (though I would have expected to see an error in the log if this were the case).
Thanks for your help,
OK, set
$auto_create_special = false; to
$auto_create_special = true;
I also reccomend setting
$show_contain_subfolders_option = false; to
$show_contain_subfolders_option = true;
Now reload apache.
This should solve your problem.
They are created because some mailclient is ordering to do so (so in your case probably squirrelmail). The folders and their structures are created and maintained by courier, but luckily courier does not autocreate anything.
Subsequently your mail client can order courier to create, modifie and delete all other folders you wish to handle.
By the way, the inbox and initial structures are created when the first message arrives.
Hi Tycho,
Thanks for your quick reply - Squirellmail is now working correctly!
I now have a new problem.
I don't seem to be able to receive emails correctly.
When Postfix receives an email, it says (maillog):
Dec 27 09:12:25 uksys01 postfix/smtpd[20719]: connect from omta04ps.mx.bigpond.com[126.96.36.199]From this I interpret that an email was successfully received from the Internet, and that Postfix *thinks* that it has been deposited into the appropriate mailbox correctly.
However, the email never reaches the mailbox.
I'm trying to use Maildir, but I think I might have accidently started to use something else (I think the Courier IMAP module that I installed possibly also included a Maildrop module too)
My main.cf looks like:
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfixMy Master.cf looks like:
#Can you give me some pointers on what needs to be fixed here to get things back to normal?
Your server is forwarding the email to the relayserver instead of handling it locally.
Is the domain of the email address (i guess its reidware.net ?) listed in the file /etc/postfix/local-host-names ? Have you enabled the maildir checkbox in ISPConfig under management > server > settings?

buttermilk roasted chicken with garlic and herbs
I think there are two types of Thanksgiving eaters. The people who are there for the meat and the people who are there for the sides. I am, 100%, without a doubt, a side gal. Give me a full plate of carbs on Turkey Day and I will pass on the actual turkey every time. It's really just taking up valuable tummy real estate. Don't get me wrong, turkey is delicious and I will eat the hell out of it on Thanksgiving evening on a sandwich, but for the meal? Give me potatoes or give me death!
That's why, when I was planning our Canadian Thanksgiving meal, I wanted a super flavorful main dish that wouldn't be overshadowed by the sides (although, admittedly, the cornbread dressing was definitely the star of the show). This chicken dish definitely fit the bill.
If you've never used buttermilk as a marinade, you probably think this combo sounds mega weird, but I promise it's a good one. The buttermilk makes the chicken incredibly moist and tender and adds a tiny touch of tang that is really addictive. Usually, you'll find buttermilk marinades used before frying chicken, but it works equally as well with a roasted bird.
And you better believe, I made this into a sandwich on Thanksgiving night. With a little bit of mayo, it was the perfect snack before curling up with Babyface and Puppyface to watch TV. There may or may not have been a pumpkin beer involved as well.
Okay, there totally was.
Buttermilk Roasted Chicken with Garlic and Herbs
The longer the chicken marinades in the buttermilk, the more tender and tangy the end result will be. For best results, let it hang out in the marinade overnight in the fridge.
Serves four
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 5-6 leaves fresh sage
- 3-4 sprigs of thyme, leaves removed from stem
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 whole chicken, cut up
- In a food processor, combine the buttermilk, olive oil, garlic, syrup, sage, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Pulse until herbs and garlic are well chopped.
- Season chicken pieces liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place chicken pieces in a large zip-top bag or baking dish, pour over marinade. Toss to coat.
- Close bag or cover dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours up to overnight.
- When ready to prepare, preheat oven to 375°.
- Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Place chicken pieces, skin side up, in a baking dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and skin is brown and crispy.
Are you a main dish person or a fan of the sides?

I hate to give this product a bad review considering the other good reviews, but I must say this shampoo did NOT work for me. Now, I know this stuff is for people with coarse hair, and I have fine hair, so maybe that was my problem, but when I used this stuff it made my fine hair MORE coarse rather than LESS. My hair was also very dull and shineless, very boring. I had just switched from John Frieda hoping to find a cheaper brand, but this did not work. I've heard keratin can make hair feel like straw, maybe that was the problem? I don't know, but I was definitely not satisfied with this. I did give it two lippies for the smell, it was quite nice.
I've found my HG shampoo. I originally bought the conditioner that goes with this for my daughter's super curly hard to comb hair and it worked great, so I bought the shampoo. I thought it would be too much conditioning for my hair and would weight it down (I like volume), but surprisingly it did nothing but leave it silky and just plain anti-spongy, just like the bottle said!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i like this MUCH better than their smoothing system (which i thought was REALLY good, despite my skin having a bad reaction to it). this doesn't irritate my skin... nor does it make my hair feel stabby like with their smoothing line. my hair is just soft and healthy. maybe the other one was just not moisturizing enough? i'm using both the shampoo and conditioner... and i find that i have to use ALOT less of this duo than their other shampoos or conditioners. so it's quite concentrated.
so far, no bad reaction to it... and i hope it stays that way. :)
This is the ONLY shampoo and conditioner product of Tresemme anti sponge shampoo and conditioner, this made my hair upon shampooing soft and silky while shampooing, and the conditioner made it even more silkier, I highly Love this Anti sponge shampoos and conditioner because this brand DOESNT have that NEW Keratin complex logo on the front of the black bottle, so I was eager to try it, and I was satisfied with the results, I DONT like any of the keratin they added into all there shampoo and conditioner lines it makes my hair non manageable, and straw feeling, I wanted more Softer feel to my hair, There vitamin E was my favorite until they added that junk ingredient and ruined it, I hope they dont ruin my anti sponge shampoo and conditioner, it works EXCELLENT WITHOUT THAT KERATIN!!!!

#1: Linda Gray Sexton, Half in Love
Most readers found this midlife memoir by the daughter of poet Anne Sexton to be an eloquent and engrossing account of how the author battled her mother's legacy of self-destructionthough a few dissenters took exception to her self-absorption.
Linda Sexton, daughter of the poet Anne Sexton, writes a compelling memoir about the legacy of suicide and depression she believes her mother bequeathed to her through biology and behavior. Linda Sexton, like her mother, suffers from what is now commonly diagnosed as manic depression and bipolar disorder leading to suicidal tendencies. While this condition went largely undiagnosed or misdiagnosed in her mother's lifetime, Linda is able to examine her own disorders and depression through the lens of modern medicine and psychology. It seems, however, that Linda also inherited her mother's flair for melodrama, as she revels in the mothering and attention or subsequent anger and back-turning that follow both of her suicide attempts. On both occasions she is saved by her own last-minute phone calls, indicating a real if subconscious desire to live. The memoir is beautifully written and often frustrating to read as Linda tries to make connections with people in her life who do not speak the language she and her mother did, a language of near-constant depression and manic behavior.Alta Dawson, Los Gatos, CA
Just like her mother before her, Linda Gray Sexton's work explores her deeply personal pain. Linda's memoir tenderly describes what it was like to grow up in the midst of her mother's depression. Her mother's story ends when she ends her own life. As she deals with the aftermath of her mother's suicide, Linda's own struggle with mental illness takes root. Despite Linda's best efforts to rage against her mother's legacy and lose her pain in work, marriage, and motherhood, she eventually succumbs to her own clinical depression and thoughts of suicide. Linda is both a daughter held hostage by her mother's illness and a mother holding her family in the grips of her own. Powerful, honest, and disturbing, Half in Love gracefully explores depression and suicide from inside the eye of the storm.Sara Miller, Carlsbad, CA
Linda Gray Sexton's journey through severe depression and multiple suicide attempts is terrifying, harrowing and strangely intriguing. The honesty with which she portrays the similarities between herself and her mother and the legacy of suicide that results demonstrates her bravery in facing her mental illness. While it can at times be hard to empathize with her actions and difficult to understand her illness, the beauty of her writing makes this a very readable memoir.Melissa Jackson, Bloomington, IN
Sexton's writing is filled with beautiful passages"Death was the itinerant salesman, always knocking on our green front door. My mother never failed to let him in"but she never romanticizes suicide and she ultimately triumphs, using her words to save herself and try to spare others from surrendering to the abyss.Lois Alter Mark, San Diego
Mental illness can be hard to understand and relate to for those lacking firsthand experience with the issue. For me, the intergenerational patterns, and her determination to avoid passing the behavior on to her sons, the next generation, framed the illness in a new way.Deidra MacLeod, Natick, MA
I get itpeople live through traumatic experiences and feel the need to experience catharsis by writing them down. Just because I understand it doesn't mean I will be entertained by it. Perhaps fans of Sexton's mother, Pulitzer-prize winner Anne, will get more out of this book than I did.Marie Robinson, Crofton MD
Ultimately, this memoir was grating and failed to evoke sympathy because it only showcased the cloistered and privileged world of Linda Gray Sexton.Joanne M. Choi, Boston

1Look at the safeties; if they are deep, run the ball,or throw a quick pass. If they are not, play-action to look like you are going to run the ball.Ad
2Check if it's a zone defense. If it is, the safeties will be playing close to the middle.
3Check for holes; this is the most important thing to look for. If a receiver is not going to be in a hole, change the route.
4Look for a blitz. The hungrier the defensive players look, the more likely they are going to blitz.
5Learn the different coverages defenses employ. You need to be able to recognize cover-1, 2, 3, and 4.
6Know the weak areas, the hard to cover spots, ie., zones of the field that are easiest to exploit for each specific type of coverage.
7Distinguish which defenders are cheating or overcompensating, e.g., a safety in cover-2 is creeping up and jumping the 15-yd quick post. A QB must recognize this and make the safety pay by pump-faking and then airing the ball out for the double-move fly route. Also always remember to stay focused
8Look at how loose or tight the corners are playing. If they are keeping a cushion, you need to make the quick throw such as a WR screen, quick out, curl, stop, or slant. If they are playing tight bump-and-run, you need to look to the fly, corner, fade, or deep post, or deep out.
9Recognize mismatches. If you are lucky enough to have a standout wide receiver, there will be times when the defense gets locked into a mismatch. You must instantly recognize it, seeing when a poor defender is on that receiver, and exploit it by going to that receiver. Get the ball in his hands and let him go to work.
10Pay attention to game film. If you're going to be able to read a defense like a book, you first need to understand the language the book is written in. Watch the film carefully and pay attention to the body language of each and every defender before each and every play. Look for patterns, and when you actually get on the field, you'll know exactly what's coming.
11Do most of your work before the snap. You don't have very much time to read the defense after the snap. After the snap, glance to make sure the defense wasn't disguising the coverage, and then make the throw that you know will be open.
12Read during the pre-snap read as much as possible. If the safeties are equally sided by each other while the corners are tightly on there receivers, the safeties are going to be in cover two while the corners will play man. If a safety lines up on the tight end, all the defensive backs are playing man.
13After the snap, do not keep your eyes in one spot. During your drop-back, remember the location of the routes. The defense has the ability to follow your eyes.
14Read the defense in layers. Safeties, linebackers, DLine. Read what Coverage the safeties are running, which will tell you what the DBs are doing. Then the LBs. If one is missing find the receiver in that hole. Then the D-Line. To find out where the pressure is coming from first.Ad

Twitter intends to sell some 80.5 million shares in its initial public offering (IPO) which will be priced between $17 and $20 per share. The proceeds could net the micro blogging site at least $1.2 billion based on a midpoint range of $18.50 per share, according to documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.
Earlier Twitter said its share will list under the ticker symbol TWTR on the New York Stock Exchange. The social networking site has not yet announced its listing date but there are reports that this could be in November 15.
Documents filed with the SEC indicate that from the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the nine months ended in September 30, 2013, Twitter's revenue increased by 106 per cent to $422.2 million with a net loss increase by 89 per cent to $133.9 million.
Apart from its massive user base, Twitter said that its value also lies in its platform partners and advertisers. For instance, many media outlets around the world such as CNN, BBC, and the Times of India regularly use Twitter as a platform for its content distribution and use Twitter content and tools to enhance they Web sites and applications.
For instance, Canadian company Bell Media inked a deal with Twitter earlier this deal on a joint analytics research partnership. Bell Media also said it will employ AMPLIFY, Twitters branded, in-stream video tool that enables broadcasters to compliment on-air content with timely in-tweet video clips.
Advertisers, use Twitters promoted products, many of which are "pay-for-performance" to promote their brands, products and services. Twitter enables advertisers to target an audience based on a variety of factors including the consumer's interests based what Twitter account the user follows and what actions the user takes while on the platform.
"Although we do not generate revenue directly from our users or platform partners, we benefit from network effects where more activity on Twitter results in the creation and distribution of more content, which attracts more users, platform partners and advertisers, resulting a virtuous cycle of value creation," said Twitter.
