There are several ways to have an affair with cheese.
It could be pure passion by the fluroscent light of a refrigerator on a stormy night after a few drinks; a quiet romance with a glass of wine and a favourite book or just aging love that's weathered storms, new apartments and sometimes mouldy bits on the fromage. We confess to having experienced all of these in the last 24 hours thanks to Derham & Derham.
Stick A Knife In It
Rupert, an erstwhile trained Opera singer realised on a trip to Darjeeling that while India was as exotic and beautiful as he'd imagined, he was homesick for the hearty cheese he was used to back at home in the UK. This simple problem turned into a business idea with his sister Emma, who works with a charity organisation full time, and thus started Derham & Derham- an online gourmet cheese store which brings traditionally made British cheese to India.
A curated menu boasts of beautiful cheese each with a backstory and a point of origin. Waxed cheddars from the Tobermorey Isle of Mull, single & double Gloucester cheese, organic cheddar from Godminster and the Shorrocks Lancashire Bomb which is wrapped in black wax and topped off with a rounded head looks suspiciously like a real bomb. Now don't just go off, read on !
Some (bo)Vine ?
Having showcased in a few food festivals in India, Derham & Derham is looking to set up shop in Delhi and is meanwhile shipping cheese across the country. We got ourselves a burgundy wax wrapped Godminster Organic Cheese (especially suitable for vegetarians). This yellow handmade cheese from Somerset in South West England has a delicious straightforward creaminess with the slightest undertone of caramel.
A more assertive flavour was confirmed in the two Isle of Mull cheddars we tried next. Produced on the West coast of Scotland, the cheddar wrapped in black wax was laced with whiskey, far crumblier than the Godminister with a warm depth. An excellent companion to a deep ruby, we concluded after detailed research (further notes on this are hazy!).
The second Isle of Mull cheddar is traditionally produced and leaves an earthy, slightly pungent after-taste. Rupert shared that anyone who has travelled and lived in the English countryside will be reminded of its particular sweet smell each time they try this cheese.
Currently taking orders (larger orders preferred for ease of shipping), Derham & Derham ships pan-India in excellent shipping boxes which preserve the cheese well. Each shipping box is accompanied with specific 'tasting notes' which help you decide how best to use the cheese. Though Emma maintains that her favourite parings are traditional: with wine, crackers, grapes, pears and sometimes just out of the box. If the order is large enough and you ask nicely Rupert might sing for you in his opera trained voice. Curd you believe it?

Bryan Bickell, Tuukka Rask set to cash in
When it comes to athletes, it seems that they perform at their best during a contract year, putting up career numbers right before they are set to hit the market.
This postseason has been no exception, as two players, one each from Stanley Cup finalists – the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Blackhawks – have set themselves up for a nice payday this offseason.
Bryan Bickell of Chicago and Tuukka Rask of Boston have had breakout postseasons, just in time, as both are set to become Free Agents following this season.
With the salary cap dropping from $70.2 million to $64.3 million next season, each player's respective teams will need to get creative in signing their budding stars.
Here's where the two stand as of now -
Bryan Bickell Age: 27 Pos: Left Wing
Bickell has emerged as a star for the Blackhawks this postseason. After totaling only 9 goals and 14 assists during the regular season, the 6'4" power forward has already netted 8 goals in 17 playoff games. He has seen his ice time increase by almost two minutes per game with the recent success, while at times playing on Chicago's top line with stars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.
Drafted in the 2nd round of the 2004 NHL Draft by Chicago, Bickell finally seems to be rounding into form. And just in time too. In the Blackhawks 4-1 series victory over the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Finals, Bickell tallied at least a point in every game, totaling 3 goals and 4 assists over the five game series.
This season, he carried only a $541, 667 cap hit according to capgeek.com, but is set to make much more this offseason.
Bickell can be compared to another former Blackhawk power forward, Andrew Ladd, who also benefited from a strong contract year. Ladd was part of Chicago's Cup winning team in 2009-10 and signed for $2.35 million with the Winnipeg Jets after the season. That could also be the number that Bickell signs for following his magical playoff run. Whether that's with Chicago or not remains to be seen.
Tuukka Rask Age: 26 Pos: Goalie
Unlike Bickell, Tuukka Rask was a known commodity around the league. Unfortunately for him, he was stuck behind Tim Thomas in the Boston crease. Rask starred in 2009-10 when Thomas struggled, posting a 22-12-5 record with a .931 save percentage and 1.97 goals against average. But it was Rask who struggled early in 2010-11 and Thomas retook the starting gig, helping to carry the Bruins to the Stanley Cup.
This season, with Thomas taking the year off, the spotlight was directly on Rask. And he delivered.
Rask posted a 19-10-5 record in 36 appearances, allowing a slim two goals per game, which ranked fourth in the league. His postseason, though, has been nothing short of magnificent, and the Finnish net minder will be looking at a big raise from the $3.5 mil he made this season.
After allowing 18 goals in the Bruins seven-game Conference Quarterfinals series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Rask has allowed only 12 in the two series since, going 8-1 against the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins.
The numbers Rask put up against the Penguins were simply unreal. Coming into the series, the Penguins had been averaging over four goals per game in the postseason. In four games against Rask, they scored twice. Of the 136 shots Pittsburgh threw at him, he stopped 134 for a dazzling .985 save percentage, and 0.44 goals against average for the series. His 53-save performance in Game 3, a game they eventually won in double overtime, was remarkable.
So what will he do for an encore?
It's unrealistic to think Rask will put up similar numbers against Chicago. With the way he has been seeing the puck lately, though, he could stay on par with his postseason stats to this point, which are a .943 save percentage and 1.75 goals against.
Rask could command a contract similar to the one signed by Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price before this season. Price's contract pays $39 million over 6 years, for a $6.5 mil cap hit.

Editor says, what if William I of Orange had survived his assassination and lived for a further decade? Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the views of the author(s).
In 1584, on this day in Delft, William the Silent (pictured) survived the weakest of attempts on his life by that miserable excuse for an assassin Balthasar Gérard. The incredibly inept Frenchman failed to get even one of his three pistol shots on target.William the Silent LivesAs the main leader of the Dutch revolt against the Spanish, he would soon be recognized with an elevation to the traditional enobled title of Count of Holland. Still only fifty-one years old, he would live for a further decade, and the issue from his branch of the Orange-Nassau line would eventually pursue greater influence, perhaps even a kingship of a greater Holland that would draw other northern German Protestant state into a new European Great Power.Gérard however would be tried, convicted, and gruesomely executed before the week was out. The magistrates decreed that the right hand of Gérard should be burned off with a red-hot iron, that his flesh should be torn from his bones with pincers in six different places, that he should be quartered and disembowelled alive, that his heart should be torn from his bosom and flung in his face, and that, finally, his head should be cut off.

I'm not making any New Year Resolutions for 2013. To be honest, I'm a little bored with the usual ones- lose 20 pounds -- or is it 30 now?
So, for the first time since records for these things began, I'll be going into 2013 without a goal. This year I intend to treat myself better. This year I intend to live with more authenticity. This year I intend to push my boundaries. This year I intend to live closer to the promise of my chart- and that means listening to my strengths and actively working the more challenging aspects in my chart.
But where are the measurements, I hear you ask? How do you know whether you've done these things?
I wouldn't go into a business project without a defined goal, without knowing what the outcome will look like, and how the success will be measured. The thing is, when it comes to business, somehow it's easier to define goals. Very often there is a strategy and a critical path littered with milestones. Life for some of us isn't like that. For some of us it is. For some of us it should be.
I have no planets in the element of Air, yet I constantly try to over analyse or over think things. It's learned behaviour- as if that missing element somehow has to be over compensated for.
It means that I don't listen to my heart as much as I should. It knows instinctively where I should be going and how. In the meeting room of life, my heart is the quiet one down the bottom of the conference table who knows that everyone else is making a huge mistake, but no one else is paying attention to her.
The thing is, when it comes to personal goals, you'll generally achieve the things that you really really want. So, for those of you who are going to make a declaration at midnight on the 31, here is my (quick) guide to goal setting through the elements.
If you're an Earth sign, the structure of a well composed goal will help you get to where you need to go. Laying the foundations is important to you.
If you're unable to build on it, it won't exist.
Share a free sample Vedic Matchmaker. Are you meant to be together? Get answers from the most comprehensive reading on Vedic compatibility today!
If you're a Fire sign, make sure that there's sufficient flexibility within the goal to allow the flames to breathe, but not so much that they are able to escape the fire break.
If you can't visualise it, you can't achieve it.
If you're an Air sign, the framework of a goal will allow you to capture those elusive ideas and turn what is essentially hot air, into something with substance. If your brain isn't engaged, you won't get there.
If, like me, you're a Water sign, you must attach emotionally to whatever your goal is in order to feel it…then allow yourself to detach in order to see it through. If you can't feel it, you can't want it.

1Washington Irving
Washington Irving is extremely good at descriptive writing. "It was, as I have said, a fine autumnal day; the sky was clear and serene, and nature wore that rich and golden livery which we always associate with the idea of abundance. The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow, while some trees of the tenderer kind had been nipped by the frosts into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet." "…the pigeons were snugly put to bed in a comfortable pie, and tucked in with a coverlet of crust; the geese were swimming in their own gravy; and the ducks pairing cosily in dishes, like snug married couples, with a decent competency of onion sauce." He is also has a very good sense of humor and his word choice is excellent. These characteristics lead me to believe that he is very well read, smart, and humorous.http://kirjasto.sci.fi/wirving.htm

2Setting of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"
The story takes place after the American Revolution (so about 1780s) in Sleepy Hollow-- a valley that is about two miles from Tarry Town, New York. Washington Irving lived in Tarry Town in the house pictured above. The setting of this story is important because it takes place in New England, where the Salem Witch Trials had taken place less than 100 years before the story was written. So we expect a very superstitious community which is a perfect place for a superstitious person like Ichabod Crane to be.
internet page
3Main Character- Ichabod Crane
Ichabod Crane is the main character of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. He's from Connecticut, but has come to Sleepy Hollow to become a school teacher. He is described as "tall, but exceedingly lank, with narrow shoulders, long arms and legs, hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves, feet that might have served for shovels, and his whole frame most loosely hung together. His head was small, and flat at top, with huge ears, large green glassy eyes, and a long snipe nose, so that it looked like a weather-cock perched upon his spindle neck to tell which way the wind blew." Ichabod is extremely superstitious. He believes every myth, legend, and ghost story he hears. He is extremely skinny, but has an endless appetite. But he doesn't have much money for food, so he befriends the family of his students and dines with different families each week. So when he becomes interested in the beautiful, rich heiress, Katrina Van Tassel, he immediately begins to romanticize about marrying her and inheriting all of the wealth of the Van Tassels.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=armKM1-kYY8
internet page
Ichabod is interested in Katrina Van Tassel's wealth. It is believed that she allows Ichabod to flirt with her to make Brom Bones want her even more. Brom Bones want to marry the same woman (Katrina) that Ichabod wants to marry. He sees Ichabod as a threat so he pulls pranks on him. He started by smoking out Ichabod's singing school by stopping up the chimney, and by the end of the book, we assume that his final prank was to dress as the Headless Horseman and run Ichabod out of town.http://askville.amazon.com/characters-Legend-Sleepy-Hollow/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=13520103
internet page
Ichabod and Brom Bones are both fighting for the affection of Katrina Van Tassel. Brom Bones tries to scare Ichabod Crane off by pulling pranks on him, but Ichabod does not leave. One night, Ichabod is invited to a party at the Van Tassels. He stays after the party to talk to Katrina, and she somehow disappoints him. Ichabod leaves and has to go through Sleepy Hollow to get home. The headless horseman is waiting there for him and begins to follow Ichabod. Brom Bones knows that Ichabod is superstitious and fascinated by the legend of Sleepy Hollow. Could it be that Brom Bones' last prank on Ichabod is pretending to be the Headless Horseman?http://www.gradesaver.com/the-legend-of-sleepy-hollow/study-guide/short-summary/
personal page
There are two types of conflicts used.
Man vs. Self- Ichabod is so superstitious. He needs to overcome his own fears and needs to come to terms with what's reality and what's not real. His superstitious self is what leads him to his ruin.
Man vs. Man- Brom Bones plays pranks on Ichabod to get him to stop courting Katrina. Brom knows that Ichabod is superstitious and uses that information to run Ichabod out of town.
personal page
1. Imagination is extremely powerful. Ichabod's imagination leads to his downfall. He loves to hear stories about ghosts, legends, and myths, but because of his powerful imagination, he convinces himself that it is all real. Ichabod gets so wrapped up in his imaginations: he imagines himself owning the farm of the Van Tassels and marrying Katrina. He enjoys these fantasies so much that he forgets to back to reality to even try and make his fantasies reality. Irving wants us to realize that taking our imagination too far is a bad thing because sometimes we forget to come back to reality.
2. Believing in superstitions is what causes us to see the "supernatural." If everyone tells you that Sleepy Hollow is haunted, you expect to see ghosts, so your imagination will convince you that they are there. If people were not so superstitious, we wouldn't scare ourselves.
internet page
When I was little, everything I knew about The Legend of Sleepy Hollow came from what I saw in the Disney movie. It was not until I read the actual story that I delved a little deeper and actually saw the real story of Ichabod Crane. From the movie, I perceived that Ichabod was a character to pity because his looks were quite goofy, but you just liked him because he looked so silly and because he seemed nice. But in the book, you don't pity him and you really don't like him all that much. He's a moocher and selfish. I interpreted the ending of the movie and the book differently. I watched that movie quite a lot when I was little, especially around Halloween, and I always agreed with the townspeople that he was dead. How could a guy get chased by a headless horseman, get hit by a fiery jack-o-lantern and survive? It just didn't seem possible. But after reading the story, I was pretty sure that Ichabod ran off. I got to know a little more about Brom Bones and I don't think he would actually kill Ichabod. He didn't seem like a murderer. And Ichabod was SOOOO superstitious that it would only seem right that he would run from the "ghost." When I watched the movie, I felt so bad that Ichabod died. It didn't seem fair. But I think Ichabod got exactly what he deserved in the book. He was so self-centered and superstitious, he needed to get hit in the head with a pumpkin and run out of town.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SsCHYW_I3s&feature=related

This is one of the worst natural disasters of our lifetime:
Archbishop Auza stated his observations of the situation in the capital to Fides, saying, "Port-au-Prince is totally devastated. The cathedral, the archbishop's office, all of the big churches, all of the seminaries have been reduced to rubble."Then Pat Robertson does the unthinkable and says the reason this happened is because Haiti struck a deal with the devil. Unfortunately, I am not kidding. Pray for him as well.
The nuncio said that the resident priest at that cathedral had informed him of the likely death of Archbishop Joseph Serge Miot as he was buried under rubble along with hundreds of priests and seminarians. Other news reports confirmed that the archbishop did pass away in the earthquake.
Auza reported that many government buildings had been razed. All of the Ministry buildings but one were on the ground, as were the Presidential Palace and the schools.

Makes 4 to 6 servings
active time
30 min
total time
3 hr
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 4 pounds country-style pork ribs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- Special equipment: an 11- by 17-inch flameproof roasting pan
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F.
Sprinkle ribs evenly with salt.
Bring orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and pepper to a boil in roasting pan over moderately high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add ribs in 1 layer using tongs, turning to coat, and cover pan tightly with foil.
Braise ribs in oven until very tender, about 2 hours. (If making ahead, see cooks' note, below.)
Before serving:
Reduce oven temperature to 200°F.
Transfer ribs to a baking dish, arranging them in 1 layer, and keep warm in oven.
Skim fat from cooking liquid if desired, then make glaze by boiling liquid, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Brush glaze generously on ribs.
Cooks' note: Ribs can be braised 5 days ahead and cooled completely in cooking liquid, uncovered, then chilled, covering them once they are completely cold. To reheat, set roasting pan with ribs and cooking liquid over moderate heat, covered with foil. Simmer, covered, turning once, until they are heated through, about 15 minutes, then transfer ribs to a baking dish and keep warm. Make glaze as directed.

The new rules require municipal advisors to register with the SEC, and mandate a new level of disclosure.
(Published Jan 21, 2014)
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced on Jan. 13 that it has delayed implementation of new municipal advisor rules until July 1, 2014. The rules were initially supposed to take effect on Jan. 13, 2014.
For the better part of the last three years, the SEC has been considering proposed rules intended to provide greater protection for municipalities working with "municipal advisors." While municipal interests were generally supportive of the rules, there were initial concerns that the definition of municipal advisor was overly broad and might include some municipal officials, as well as professionals such as city attorneys, city engineers, and accountants. The League and other state and federal associations submitted comments to the SEC, and the final rules issued on Sept. 20, 2013, generally addressed the concerns of municipal entities.
The new rules—which are complicated and exhaustive in their scope—require municipal advisors to register with the SEC, and mandate a new level of disclosure. The intent is to provide greater transparency within the municipal financial world.
Historically, cities and other local governments that issue municipal bonds have relied on advisors to help them decide how and when to issue the securities and how to invest proceeds from the sales. In July 2010, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, which included a provision to protect municipalities, taxpayers, and investors from conflicted advice and unregulated advisors. The new SEC rules attempt to address this concern.
A "municipal advisor" is a person (who is not a municipal entity or an employee of a municipal entity) who provides advice to or on behalf of a municipal entity with respect to municipal financial products or the issuance of municipal securities, or that undertakes a solicitation of a municipal entity or obligated person.
Professionals such as city attorneys, city engineers, and accountants are exempted from the rules when those individuals are providing advice or services that are of a traditional nature with respect to the issuance of municipal securities or municipal financial products.
While the rules do not directly regulate cities, a number of the exemptions for those providing financial advice to municipalities (e.g., underwriters, brokers, etc.) are tied to a city having a financial advisor, or to the source of the funds being invested. Accordingly, cities may be asked to provide certain written representations. The League will continue to monitor this subject and provide additional advice as best practices develop.

MARCOS MAIDANA, WBA Welterweight World Champion
"I know I am fighting the best in the world and that this is the biggest opportunity there is, so I am very thankful to Mayweather for giving me the chance.
"I never let what anybody outside the ring says bother me. I've heard a little about what they're saying, but it doesn't matter. I've heard it before.
"I've been an underdog my whole life. I was the underdog against Adrien Broner and Victor Ortiz and you saw what happened. I won. I am the underdog again in this fight, but I earned the right to the fight.
"I will give Mayweather a much better fight than any of the other contenders will. I have trained very well, and I'm in great shape. The only pressure is to perform well. I am a fighter and I come to fight. I don't respect any opponent when I'm in the ring. I'm in this fight to win.
"This is going to be a great fight that fans will not want to miss. They know my style is to come forward. They know I like to be the aggressor. They know I throw heavy punches that can seriously hurt my opponent. .
"My fans know I am going to give it my all, my absolute best. I am excited and very confident. I am ready for May 3 and I'm ready for Floyd Mayweather.''

Nothing bothers me more than to have to throw out food that is still good, but maybe not in its prime in terms of freshness. Quite frankly, I think some of the 'expiration' date or 'good until' dates are marketing ploys…trust me, my kids give me a hard time about it, and like detectives, they're always 'inspecting' the dates on things. Of course, I'm living proof that even if something is 'expired' or eaten beyond its 'edible' date, sometimes you won't die! How many times do grapes start getting wrinkled and shrivel into almost raisins right in front of your eyes on your kitchen cabinet? Too many time for me to count…so what do I do? I make 'Fresh Red Grape Brandy Reduction Sauce.' This sauce can go from going on pork or chicken to pound cake and ice cream~~you gonna love it!
What you need:
2 tbl butter
2 cups of fresh red grapes (these can be almost going bad…no problem!)
¼ cup brandy
What you do:
In a medium size saucepan, melt butter, add grapes and toss and cook about 5 minutes. Slowly add in brandy and cook another 10-12 minutes or until there's a slight thickness. Turn off heat and remove pan. Refrigerate if not using immediately. Can be reheated.

Gyazo 2.3
Drag your mouse to capture
A simple screenshot can be taken using the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard however, it can take a little time until you get the end result, and accidentally pressing it again will replace the one you actually needed. You can leave those worries behind, because Gayzo will assure you that nothing will be lost.
The application lets you get a hold of the desired picture as fast as possible. To do so, not even a main window is available, you simply run the application, drag your mouse around the details you want to include in your image, and it automatically uploads the result to a dedicated server, all of which are stored in your account.
Speed over anything else
Although it lets you quickly grab anything of interest, there are a few limitations. If further post processing needs to be done you will have to forget about it, the pictures are not saved to your computer and you need to download them in order to apply any modifications. Furthermore, the application automatically closes after a capture. It would have been useful to use a combination of hotkeys to activate the utility whenever you needed it, rather than running it again every time.
Quickly share with your friends
Once your image gets uploaded to the dedicated server, a web browser is brought up giving you the ability to share your result on various social network sites. This helps a little, seeing how you are not given the option to directly save the screenshot on your computer.
To end with
Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Gyazo does its job well, but is not a pro. It tries to put speed above anything else however, having to run the application each time you need to take a screenshot might make you change your mind. Its main advantages are the easy capturing method and the ability to quickly share everything.

Ponte Vedra, FL (CBS/WVLT), Tiger Woods has done many things in his electrifying career, but he did something on Thursday that he has never done before. He broke 70 in his opening round at the Players Championship.
He told Golf Channel after his round that he knew he had to go low because of some great scores early on:
"I felt like I had to go out and shoot something in the 60s today. Most of the guys were under par in that morning session."
Woods has never had a bogey-free round at TPC Sawgrass, something that he nearly accomplished Thursday if not for a bogey on the final hole. Here's a look at the sweet little 5-under 67 that he shot. The 67 was one shot off his best round ever at the Players Championship. He shot 66 in the third round in both 2000 and 2001. It was also his best round since the final round in 2007.
We have ourselves a strong leaderboard at one of the strongest tournaments on the PGA Tour. Woods trails Rory McIlroy (66) and Zach Johnson (66) and is tied with Hunter Mahan, Steve Stricker and Webb Simpson, among others. Sergio Garcia (68) and Padraig Harrington (68) are just behind them. They all trail leader Roberto Castro, who shot a 9-under 63 to tie the course record held by Fred Couples and Greg Norman.
Woods was outstanding off the tee, often eschewing his driver for his 3-wood or 5-wood and consistently finding himself in the middle of the fairway with managable approach shots.
He mostly avoided bogeys (except for No. 18), something that can send you spiraling out of control in a hurry at this golf course. A prime example of this was on the famed No. 17, where Tiger shelved his tee shot on the top right of the green and had a lengthy 55-foot putt that he lagged beautifully. It could have turned into a four (or worse), but Woods cleaned up his par and marched on to No. 18.
We've talked about Woods and McIlroy and this faux rivalry that we've created for them for quite a while now. But on a gorgeous Thursday at the Players, they delivered equally outstanding rounds.
They're chasing Castro for now, but they're both right where they want to be. And wouldn't it be sweet to get a little Tiger-Rory action on the weekend. Stay tuned and take a look at the tweet below; we could be in for a show at the Players.
Knoxville's Scott Stallings got to -5 and grabbed the early lead, but a bogey on 11, a double bogey on 12 and triple bogey on the par-5, 16th dropped him back to minus-1 and a first round 71.
