Comics Legend Neal Adams To Conduct Charity Art Auctions At Wizard World Events Beginning At Austin Comic Con, November 22-24
Initiative To Benefit St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital
Eisner Award Hall of Famer Neal Adams, in conjunction with Wizard World, Inc., will conduct a series of charity comics art auctions at Wizard Worlds pop culture conventions across the United States, beginning at Austin Comic Con, Nov. 22-24, it was announced today by Adams and Wizard World Chairman & CEO John Macaluso. A portion of proceeds from the auctions, which will be comprised of pieces donated by Adams and other notable comics artists, will benefit St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital.
In addition to benefiting St. Jude's and more importantly, 50% of whatever is received for each piece will be paid directly to the artists who donate their pieces. Artists will benefit as 50% partners of the auction sale.
The auctions are a great way to showcase outstanding artwork produced by top creators all over the world and to reward them, while benefiting a tremendous cause, said Adams, a regular at Wizard World events who is widely credited with reviving the Batman franchise and is thought of by many as the greatest contemporary comic artist in our medium. I am pleased to be working with Wizard World to spread the program into as many venues and reach as many comic art lovers as possible.
Adams has created a Wonder Woman piece as his first donated item, available at Austin Comic Con. The auction will be held on the Wizard World Main Stage (show floor) on Saturday, Nov. 23, at 5 p.m.
Adams headlines a standout roster of creators scheduled to attend Wizard World Austin Comic Con, including Greg Capullo (Batman, Spawn), Mark Bagley (Fantastic Four, Ultimate Spider-Man), Kenneth Rocafort (Superman, Action Comics), Mike Grell (Green Arrow, Green Lantern), Phil Ortiz (The Simpsons, Muppet Babies), Zombie King Arthur Suydam (Marvel Zombies, Army of Darkness), Michael Golden (Hulk, Daredevil) and nearly 200 others.
Stan Lee, Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead, WWE® Superstar John Cena® and Star Trek captains William Shatner and Scott Bakula are among the top celebrities attending the event, held at the Austin Convention Center. It is the eighth and final event in the 2013 series produced by Wizard World, Inc. (OTCBB: WIZD) and will also feature a variety of activities, exhibitors and special attractions.
Additionally, all full price attendees will receive a free copy of the Exclusive Variant Cover of The Walking Dead #1 comic, drawn by Rob Guillory (Chew) and available only at Wizard World Austin Comic Con.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Adelphi Suites Hotel
Good Hotel, Excellent Locationfrom GMJ1
I had an executive 1 bedroom apartment which was a good size and had everything you need for a comfortable stay with the exception of cooking utensils (pots, pans etc). I'd like to see some included as everything else is.
For the business people the wifi works great and was reasonably quick and very reliable in the room.
The breakfast could have a bit more variety but is still very good and eating out is not a problem in this area.
The pool is small and only gets the sun till lunch time. The gym is great and has everything you need.
Depending what your after on an evening BKK has it all and it can all be easily reached from this hotel.
I'll be returning very soon!
Thank you for your kind comparison with other hotels. We are very glad to hear that your stay was enjoyable at Adelphi Suites. As for cooking utensils (pans, pots and etc.), we have it upon request and as this point, we will put a note in the kitchen then everyone can notice and ask for. Thank you very much that you will come back to our hotel again.
Kind regards,
Abel Benmoussa
General Manager

Excellent Place to Stayfrom meejulie
Before our stay in Bangkok at Adelphi Suites (AS) we went over to Koh Chang, we arrived into BKK the early hours of the monring and I had called ahead form the airport to AS and asked if it was possible to store one of our bags while we were in koh Chang for 5 days before returning to stay at Adelphi Suites, kindly they said yes.
On arrival for check we were greeted with friendly smiles from all the staff and offered cold tea and a nice cold cloth while checking in.
We were upgreaded to a deluxe suite as I had requested a studio room with a king bed and they had none avalible due to been fully booked.
Our room was very spacious, clean, and with modern facilities.
breakfast was pleasent, held in the hotel restaurant, you have a choice of a cooked breakfast or a selection of cereals, fresh fruit and bread.
The hotel is located on a quiet soi, with a seven eleven pretty much next door with is great. The BTS station is a 2-3 min walk, very handy.
All in all I would reccommend this hotel to everyone, the staff we friendly and helpful. I will definately stay here again on my next visit to Bangkok.
We are really pleased to hear that you enjoy staying with us. Once again, thank you very much for your nice comments about our hotel.
We hope to welcome you again.
Kind regards,

Great Locationfrom clkhoo
As with other hotels, when its popularity increases so has the rates, wanted to book this for my family in the near future but found the rates higher...
Thank you for your kind comments, regarding to our staffs, I just want to ensure you that their English has been improving. As for our rate charge, it is like all the hotels that have different rate which relate to each season.
We hope to welcome your family soon.
Kind regards,

Sterilefrom ExBuckeyeInAsia
The good... well the staff was nice. The hotel is right near a BTS station which was nice. It had a cordless phone which most properties do not include. The housekeeping staff was EXCELLENT very helpful and always nice. Will I stay there again, I'm not sure I like Somerset Suwan Park a lot however I think I would like to check out this companies other properties like legacy and such on soi 22. I might, I know I am coming back in a month or so so I might return but overall for a new hotel it did not live up to my expectations but maybe i am just spoiled by other properties in Asia.
Thank you for your comments. First of all, we would like to apologize about the bad experience that you have during you stayed with us.
Regarding to the airport transfer, we are using the same limousine company that most of luxury hotels are using in Bangkok and we are charging our guest almost the same price as them which is 1200 Baht. And for the swimming pool, I would like to assure you that the water is treated every day. As for the door, our hotel is just open 3 months ago. So they still have small touch to catch up. And for the elevator, it was been checking for our guest safety by officers.
I hope that my answers will be useful for you to understand our hotel's situation.
We hope to welcome you back and it will be nice to serve you again.
Kind regards,
Abel Benmoussa

Nice rooms, staff and locationfrom Morten72
The room is very nice, the staff is extremly friendly and the location is good (a few minutes walk from the Sky Train). The best is the price, which is very low compared to what you get.
It is very nice to receive your comments. We really appreciate it. Thank you for your staying in our hotel. We hope to have a chance to welcome you again.

Beautifulfrom chatterbox27
Very polite at all times and nothing was to much trouble.
Rooms were great - nice and spacious and the shower was amazing! Location was convenient nice and close to tuk tuk, markets, nana train station, and a fantastic massage parlour only a few shops up!
Breakfast was nice - simple but very tasty! One of the best we had in our whole trip.
I would recommend this hotel to everyone, you couldnt be more comfortable and price just topped it all off - for a studio approx Aus $80 per night!
Would love to thank the staff for making us feel so comfortable and welcome!
Your comments are a positive step to increasing our spirit of work for our staffs. We were happy when you were with us. All your comments are efficiently and we will certainly use them for our hotel standard. Thank you very much for staying with us.
We hope to welcome you again.

Top Local Tips for Bangkok
Koh Kret This is an island in the middle of the river. Inhabited by Mon People you will find lots of traditional desserts and Thai foods as well as Mon arts & crafts. There are also boat trips around the island where you can see thai houses on stilts, etc. Time to visit is on sundays where there are boats directly from the central pier to the island. Other days are a bit more complicated. Also, not so many vendors and shops open on weekdays
Don't trust the locals on the street! Unfortunately, most of the taxis/tuktuks, and even hotel security may mislead you. We talked to 6 different people as we tried to get to the Royal Palace, that all misled us! "Its closed today." "You can't go in wearing shorts." "Its a Buddha day today and its closed." All lies! Our tuktuk driver even took us to the wrong place (supposed to go to the Royal palace...he dropped us off at another Wat." Being novice travellers, we didn't know he took us to the wrong place! My suggestion is to do your research before travelling, bring a guide book, and talk to your hotel front desk for advice.
Get out of BKK for a quick get away to ChonBuri Head to ES-TA-TE, you stay at Khao Kheow Open Zoo and sleep in a tent. Get a private tour of the zoo in a cart, feed the animals directly yourself, excellent meals, night safari, etc... All a quick trip away form BKK. Excellent way to get out of the city for a day.

By: Jenna Lohse
(ABC 6 NEWS) -- It's a relatively new law in Minnesota that has some crying foul. But the local lawmaker who pushed it through says the measure is intended to protect taxpayers. Last July counties around the state had to start drug testing welfare recipients who had certain prior criminal convictions.
We talked with Olmsted County Family Support and Assistance who says randomly testing convicted drug felons who are on public assistance isn't the issue here.
In fact only 46 people in Olmsted County are now required to take these random drug tests. It's the staff time spent creating a county policy from the law and administering the tests that can be costly.
Under the new rule, two failed drug tests result in permanent disqualification for aid.
Representative Drazkowski says the law is a way to instill personal responsibility, but some county officials feel these people have already served their time and worry the new rule could have repercussions.
"What happens to those clients in the long run if they lose their cash benefits and they are chemically dependent? They might come through another door, they might end up committing a crime, they might end up in detox something more expensive then the money they are spending through benefits program," said Heidi Welsch, Director of Olmsted County Family Support and Assistance.
"This might be a way for those individuals to realize that you know what, you've got a problem and you need to get that, get your life straightened out and maybe this will be a sounding alarm to actually help those folks," said Rep. Steve Drazkowski.
As of now, letters have been sent to convicted drug felons in Olmsted County explaining the new rule. No drug tests have been done. Local agencies say the word "random" is not defined within the law, which has them interpreting in different ways. For Olmsted County that means just once a year. We also talked with human services in Mower County who say they are drug testing four times a year.

Is there a reason why slag is easily removed and then when it is hard too remove. I used about 25 rods of 6013 yesterday on a project. Flat welding it came away easily for 90% of the time but when corner welding, it took a lot of cleaning. I did not bother changing the amount of heat, when going from flat to a corner, I was just building two fire wood holders and felt it would be ok, but now I wonder if this was the reason for my troubles.
I have started using the stick method as much as possible, the price of gas is over the top and when working outside, stick is an obvious choice for me.
Thank you for any help in advance.

You're probably going to need more heat in corners, or else your weld will be colder than it is in non-corners with the same amperage. I suspect that's the cause of your difficult-to-remove slag issue. You might be getting some slag inclusion. It's also harder to wire-brush the slag out of corners, too...

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Passenger traffic is up at Richmond International Airport.
The Capital Airport Commission says 227,614 travelers used the airport in January. That's up more than 5 percent from 216,270 travelers in January 2012.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/13kZnnS ) reports that the commission released the figures Tuesday.
About 3.2 million passengers use the airport annually.

Questioning a 'Disgustingly Written' Brett Ratner TMZ Item
We hate to be the bearers of bad Web news. But catching up to Village Voice editorial fellow Raillan Brooks' complaints about the tone of TMZ's coverage of Brett Ratner donating to the NYC mayoral campaign of openly gay candidate Christine Quinn, we must sadly inform – there's plenty more where that came from.
There are basically three tiers of content at TMZ. The website has both feet planted firmly in the gutter; the half-hour syndicated TV show has one foot out on the cleaner sidewalk; and the one-hour call-in block TMZ Live is the most legitimate of all, with Harvey Levin and cohorts intelligently discussing the day's top stories.

Nothing is as sad or as worrisome as your own sick child.
The other two have had it & gotten over it, each suffering their own bouts to varying degrees & all were robbed of their usually voracious appetites. Things are grim when some hot buttered toast can't pep you up.
I remember as a kid my Mum would give me pea & ham soup, from a tin with thick slices of buttered toast when I was crook. I have always equated this soup with being ill funnily enough & has actually precluded me from putting it on the menu because of this reason.
Many people I know will take soup only when they ill. It's easy to understand why. It goes down easily, it's tasty & it is often simple. Often people like a clear soup, like a broth, perhaps that's the reason why chicken noodle soup has been lauded for its medicinal properties, the old Jewish penicillin as they say. Many cultures see soup as indeed that, a medicine. Not unlike a Tisane is to a tea, a hot water extraction of herbs, spices & blooms, delicate & fragrant. Perhaps beef 'tea' a clear concentrated consommé, is the obvious crossover from food to medicine?
Though I like soups, they don't restore me like other foods do when I am crook. When ill I would often go down to Victoria St or Little Burke St for some fragrant herby Viet dishes or some highly spiced Chinese food, the chillies, garlic & ginger making mockery of my condition, cajoling my taste buds & sweating the toxins from my pores. These clean true flavours would purge me or at least I felt they did. I once consulted a Chinese doctor who said I had 'heat on the lung' which meant I was an overly hot person & must avoid foods which generate it, like garlic onion & chillie, curious as felt they helped me get over the cold!
I often shake my head with the realization that some people only see food for its calorific content or its medical value, like not eating sugars or eating lean red meat but its often to the detriment of the sensual pleasure food can bring. Surely releasing those endorphins might be just as important to ones well being than a specifically aimed medicinal food item? While I agree some foods have proven medicinal properties, I'm uncomfortable about planning meals around them for this purpose alone. Just to contradict myself though, I have also realized that when I am ill, I respond better to spicy foods rather than bland stuff. I suppose the difference here is that I'm only prepared to take my medicine when I'm sick, not to take it to prevent me from being sick-does that make sense?
This dish from Victor could easily become the dish that I ask for when I get crook, in fact when she is able stomach more food, I'll let her try it as well.

Daily Qur'an Reading
Today's Qur'an Reading
Do not be upset at the good things you miss, and do not be overjoyed at the good things you receive. God does not love those who are arrogant and boastful; he does not love those who are stingy, and encourage others to be stingy also. Those who ignore these words, should remember that God alone is self-reliant, and God alone is worthy of praise.

Thomas Hajek has retired after a nine-year playing career and will now serve as a Philadelphia Wings assistant coach. Photo Credit: Larry Palumbo
The Philadelphia Wings have named former player Thomas Hajek the team's defensive coordinator for the upcoming 2013 season. Last year's defensive coordinator Blane Harrison will remain with the team as the offensive coordinator next season.
Hajek played eight seasons as a defenseman for the Wings. Last year's offensive coordinator Jimmy Milligan will not be retained by the team.
"I couldn't be more excited to join the Wings coaching staff next season as the team's defensive coordinator," said Hajek. "Being part of the Wings organization for much of the last decade, I'm very familiar with the high expectations of the owners and fans on and off the field. I look forward to the challenge of helping the team win as a coach rather than a player."
"We talked to Tom last year with respect to joining the coaching staff when he decided to retire from playing," said Head Coach Johnny Mouradian. "Everyone knows what Tom means to this organization, he is a character athlete and his passion, knowledge of the game and living in the market aligns perfectly. We are going to miss Jim Milligan in so many ways. Jim worked extremely hard on all fronts and this move in no way reflects on anything that Jim did or did not do while he was with the organization."
Hajek finishes his nine-year playing career with 126 games played, seven goals, 46 assists and a team-record 390 penalty minutes.

Lew, Junior Cheney demanded today on Fox News that Big Brother shut Wikileaks down.
She reminds me of Ken Burton. He's the Columbia, Missouri Police Chief whose jackbooted thugs shot up a house with kids in it, killed the dogs and terrorized the family. "Chief" Swatter Burton did not apologize. Instead, he exercised his right to remain silent, dragged his feet for weeks, but was finally forced to follow the law (apparently a novelty for Missouri "law enforcement"). He then released the incriminating video of his goons — which has now been viewed by over 1.3 million Youtube visitors.
The interesting detail for me is, did Chief Swatter Burton ever apologize? No. He just said, "I hate the Internet."
Translated: like Liz Cheney, Swatter Burton hates the truth.
Two of the "Twelve Steps" of Alcoholics Anonymous require that the alcoholic apologize to everyone he or she has ever hurt, and then that he or she make restitution to them.
Can anyone imagine a politician doing that? Or a rogue cop?12:48 pm on August 1, 2010 Email Christopher Manion

I'm looking for templates for my choc. molds, specifically the heart (DCRPDR9013) & the oval (11271). Other than making my own (last resort) I was hoping that someone might already have some templates that they would like to share, possibly?
I have looked into the Chocolate Artist Software, and apparently that has been discontinued according to Chocolate World/Deco UK (plus it was ridiculously priced). I was able to download the software but I need a USB stick to print, perhaps someone has one that they might like to sell?
Any help would be appreciated,
I bought my USB stick/key fob from Tomric in New York. Check to see if they any more. Alternatively you can make a template pattern in Adobe InDesign to match your molds.
Good luck!
Thanks Glenn. I checked with Tomric and they are no longer carrying the product. I am now in the process of downloading the InDesign program....Thanks for the help :)) Deb
It is worth it to buy the USB stick. Deco artist also has the cake software which is free. If you download the Edible Artist software, scroll way down in the template page and you will see all the template shapes. Just make sure it matches what you need.
What a life saver you are....I've spent the last several days working on this, going crazy. The Edible Artist software did the trick. I had download the Chocolate Artist originally but couldn't print and the Deco software works with these saved files...Thank You, Thank You, Thank You..
I can't tell you how much I appreciated your advice, :))
I am using transfer sheets made with starch and sugar for chocolates, same as the one sold by Tomric. I frequently have this problem: The ink stays partially on the transfer sheet so I have to make new prints have to trow away a lot of material.
Does anyone have experienced this problem and if you did, did you find a solution?
Thanks! Éric
Sounds like they are the one made by Deco chocolate artist in England. The spray is too thin and then when you print on them the ink saturates through that thin covering on the sheet. If you press print, the dialog box pulls up. Go into "properties", go to "colour/intensity", click "maual", then go to "brightness" and choose the "light" (will be automatically on normal). That will help reduce the amount of ink being printed. I use these sheets when I have artwork that is very delicate. These transfer sheets work great when they work!! The best solution is to use the ones by "Cake Art Intl". There is an American distributor but I find them to expensive. I purchase from "Home Chocolate Factory" in England. Ask for the trade discount if you are a business. The best size to use is TS02. I find the TS01 has caused me grief in the past. The American distributor even told me the TS02 size is a better quality product.
Thanks for all these détails Debra. I was already changing the intensity of my prints but still had problems. I will try the one from Home Chocolate Factory.
Dear Debra, greetings from Colombia, I read carefully this post and your valuable hints. I was wondering if you can advice me any particular edible ink brand, I am planning to import in bulk since here inks are quite expensive.
Also which Canon model are you using, we don´t have all the models but I will try my best and install it a Continuous ink system.
thanks in advance for any direction.
I have used several different brands from the United States. I live in Canada. I've used Icing Images, PhotoFrost, and Kopykake. The best inks for color matching to the original canon inks is Kopykake. The cartridges they use are quite well made. I use the canon mg5320. Canon is always changing their printers so I look for the new models that have the same printhead as whatever model I have. I just bought a new printer last weekend because it (mg5320) was on sale and the price was cheaper than buying a new printhead! I have not purchased the continuous ink system but have done some research in the past for this type of technology. I would be very curious to know how the continuous ink system works for you.
Thank you Debra! Here many photocake and photochocolate businesses are using already the CIS system with good savings. I just order my inks from Kopyk ;) I was wondering if you can advice me if for the tranfers on black chocolate you use a thin white cocoa butter layer on the sheet. I saw that some chocolates are a mix of white (photo) and black, but some are 100% black, what method do you suggest? Best regards
I always use a thin layer of white. I use white chocolate and cocoa butter.
100 grams white chocolate and 30 grams cocoa butter is my blend. Depending on what white chocolate you use, you can make minor adjustments.
What CIS system are you using. What brand of CIS are you looking at?

Since this gorgeous day it's been cold and grey in the city of lights, but I soaked up this sun deep into my bones, where I'll be holding on to it until I return to the golden state. The little park off the Pont Neuf is the most dazzling spot on a bright day, where you can view of all the grand structures lining the riverbank, or just sit with your toes pointed towards the rushing waters. This area is physically the center of Paris and you really feel it when strolling through this green park, with the Louvre before you and the towers of Notre-Dame at your back. I love wandering around this area, moving back and forth across the river from one bridge to another, running my hands along all the lover's locks, and browsing those famous green book stands along the banks. It's also an easy trip to or from the Latin Quarter, which means I have just enough time to sneak in one more trip to a certain patisserie before I fly back to the bay… (if you can't guess where the photos below reveal all)

Administrative Hearings
The Administrative Hearings Division (AHD) conducts formal administrative hearings under two workers' compensation benefit programs:
A party wishing to file an application for formal hearing to determine their rights or liability regarding benefits under private- or public-sector compensation laws must file an original Application for Formal Hearing with the AHD, and send a copy to the opposing party. Upon receipt of an application for a formal hearing, a Scheduling Order will be issued to the parties that sets forth the date of the formal hearing, as well as the deadlines related to the proceeding. Failure of a party to comply with the Scheduling Order may be grounds for dismissal of the Application for Formal Hearing.
DC Code Ann. §32-1501 et seq. (private sector) and DC Code Ann. §1-623.1 et seq. (public sector) govern formal hearings and the implementing regulations found in Title 7 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations, and are conducted consistent with the Administrative Procedures Act, as amended, DC Code Ann. §2-501 et seq. and the DC Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure. At the conclusion of the proceeding, the Administrative Law Judge thoroughly reviews the documentary and testimonial evidence in the record and issues a written decision. After a decision has become final, the judge may be required to rule on requests for the award of an attorney's fee or a supplementary order declaring default.
If a party is dissatisfied with a Compensation Order issued by AHD, they may file a request for review with the Compensation Review Board.
Further appeals, if any, are taken to the DC Court of Appeals.

As we get ready for another weekend of football, we should be aware that football players sustain head blows equivalent to a severe car crash in every game. They get an average of 50 head blows per game, each one equal to a boxer's punch. Researcher Stefan Duma says players "have headaches after every game."
Shaoni Bhattacharya writes in New Scientist that the average force of a blow to the head during a game is 40G, which is 40 times the force of gravity. Duma says, "That's loosely analogous to a boxer punching another boxer with a gloved hand." The most severe blows, at 120G, are "more analogous to a severe car crash." He doesn't know how players endure blows like this week after week, but he does know they can be left "dazed and confused."
Sports scientist Frederick Mueller says, "Every year we have six or eight players die from head injuries. We also have a large number who have permanent brain damage or permanent paralysis." Boxers like Muhammed Ali, who have sustained many head blows, sometimes get Parkinson's Disease, and some studies link concussion with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Even young players complain about memory problems.
Can secrets hide in plain sight? There's more to do than watch football this weekend?listen to Dreamland!

Rep. Gardner Announces Resolution to Tackle Duplicative Programs and Govt. Waste
WASHINGTON D.C. – Government redundancies cost taxpayers billions of dollars a year, and a new report from the Government Accountability Office details just how bad the waste has become. In response, Rep. Cory Gardner (R-CO) plans to introduce a resolution within the week that will force congressional committees to hold hearings on duplicative programs that fall under their jurisdiction.
"The amount of waste perpetrated by the federal government is mind boggling and has gone largely unchecked for far too long – enough is enough – we need to dig into why there are so many different programs doing the same thing and whether or not they need to be eliminated or combined," Rep. Gardner said.
Congress requires the GAO to provide an annual report detailing duplicative and wasteful programs across the federal government. Rep. Gardner's plan is to likewise require hearings on these programs within 90 days of the publication of each new report.
According to the most recent report, the U.S. government has more than 100 programs dealing with surface transportation issues with the overlap costing $58 billion annually. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. There are 82 programs monitoring teacher quality, 80 for economic development, 47 for job training, 20 devoted to homelessness and 17 different grant programs for disaster preparedness. The list goes on and on.
Rep. Gardner emphasized that while hearings are a good first step, he ultimately hopes they will lead to legislation making government functions more streamlined.
Click here to read the GAO's report.
Congressman Gardner is a member in the U.S. House of Representatives serving Colorado's 4th Congressional District. He sits on the Energy and Commerce Committee and is a member of the following Subcommittees: Communications and Technology, Energy and Power, and Oversight and Investigations.

If you have ever anguished over what to serve with your perfectly poached salmon, or what to prepare for your dinner guests toting wines they brought back from South Africa, Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg have advice for you. 2007 International Association of Culinary Professionals "book of the year" winner What to Drink with What you Eat: The definitive guide to pairing food with wine, beer, spirits, coffee, tea—even water—based on expert advice from America's best sommeliers is the current sine qua non of wine and food pairing, with 230 pages listing over 1500 pairing suggestions in two chapters—one starting with the food and the second with the beverage.
The book opens by explaining how and why a great pairing can create a life-altering experience. While the suggestions include other beverages, the focus is on wine. Yet, after all the minutiae of what pairs best with Taco Bell Gorditas or what clashes with kale, the authors readily admit that taste is personal.
In point of fact, many of the entries include long lists of wildly varying varietals and styles—there are 20 under "omelets," from sparkling wine to Côtes du Rhône to tomato juice—suggesting that even the appointed experts don't all make the same choices. This should offer comfort to those who prefer to let their own taste be their guide.
The book gets its life blood from the quotes and musings of over 70 chefs, sommeliers, and other wine, food, and beverage-savvy folks. There are restaurant wine pairing menus and listings of the dozen wines the likes of Daniel Boulud, Joseph Bastianich, and Larry Stone might choose for living out their final days on a desert island. A smattering of photographs (my favorite is the Junior's cheesecake coupled with a bottle of Quady Essensia), occasional recipes, and lots of illustrative stories and examples make real what could be at once an overly philosophical and technical volume.
Still, the book leaves me with lingering questions. While a great combination of food and beverage can be awakening, will the magic be the same for everyone? If I let the "experts" guide me, will I have the courage to try off-beat combinations that might tickle my idiosyncratic fancy? (The authors confess that there are surprises to be found; following a prescription might prevent that from happening.) Food is so complex; is it practical to look up all the components of a dish and find a wine that will make the whole thing sing? Where does the synergy of ingredients come into play?
For the voyeur, What To Drink offers an approachable and entertaining look inside the minds of restaurateurs, sommeliers, and other beverage professionals. The stories of how esteemed sommeliers learned to distinguish one wine from another in their vast world is in itself fascinating. And it is enlightening to learn how they look upon us when we sit down in their restaurant and ask for a wine suggestion.
The authors have one thing spot on—pleasure is an essential element of life. Remembering that this is food for thought and not a definitive reference, What to Drink adds pleasure to both the reading and dining experience.
Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page, What To Drink With What You Eat: The definitive guide to pairing food with wine, beer, spirits, coffee, tea—even water—based on expert advice from America's best sommeliers, Bulfinch Press, 2006, $23.10 (hardback).

text: I recently rescued an abused redtail boa. I already had two, one male and one female, that were in seperate housing. For now I put the male (which is only 8-9 months old) in a separate tub while the rescued snake (about 2-3 yr old female redtail) took the babies enclosure. I've read now in two places that they are ok to house together, but I wanted to check here to make sure. The tub I rigged for the baby is def a temporary setup and I'm sure he'd be more comfortable in one of the tanks with the big females. I just want to be sure it is safe, even though the sizes are quiet different... I'd hate to have them fight or stress each other out, and I can buy a full separate enclosure for the baby boy, but if its unnecessary than I will house him with one of the bigger females. What do you all think?

The 24th Congressional District featured a hotly contested rematch. Although the race has not been conceded, one candidate is ahead. Thousands of absentee ballots are still outstanding. Iris St. Meran talked to the campaigns of Ann Marie Buerkle and Dan Maffei.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- With Green Party candidate Ursula Rozum conceding early on Election Night, the race for the 24th Congressional District became a repeat of two years ago: Democrat Dan Maffei and Republican Ann Marie Buerkle battling for the seat. Maffei stopped short of officially declaring victory but called himself the 'comeback kid.'
"I am confident when all votes are counted I will be your next Congressman," said 24th Congressional District Congressman-Elect Dan Maffei.
Early polls predicted the race would be a dead heat. But that was not the case. Incumbent Republican Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle thanked her supporters at Republican headquarters.
Incumbent Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle said, "You are great Americans and this is a time for all of us to say thank you for what you do for our party and community. I am afraid this is going to be somewhat of a replay, maybe not of last time."
Maffei says there are still many votes to be counted. There are 21,000 absentee ballots which have been impounded. But with a sizable lead, his sights are set on Washington.Maffei outlined his priorities for the coming session.
"Get to work on getting the people back to work," Maffei added, "We still got a lot of people out of work. We've got a lot of middle class people very concerned that they can't afford to send their kids to college."
For now he waits for all the votes in the district to be counted.

Animal Trackers - (by Dave Alder)
Last edited by Echoseven; 05-05-2012 at 08:44 PM..
Hi, thanks for making this thread about my game.
There is a problem with the App Store in which Animal Trackers is not showing up in any lists and as a result, hardly anyone knows it exists!
However, you can find it if you search for it by name.
I've contacted Apple about it, but they have yet to fix it.
I'd just like to point out that Sanuku has been rather naughty by copying my pre-release trailer and re-uploading it as the so called 'Official Animal Trackers Launch Trailer'.
It's nice that he has taken an interest in my game, but misrepresenting it like that can mislead viewers about both the quality of the final game and that the video was sanctioned.
I would therefore be grateful if you would please replace Sanuku's trailer with this one. Thanks.
The REAL official trailer:

If you look at your gameplay video, on a number of occasions you can see the tracks leading off from the bottom right of the tree canopy, and at one point you're part way through and Foxy's tail is sticking out, but then you turned around and went back the way you came. You just need to continue through.
Here's a walkthrough for level 2:
And Sanuku...
PLEASE... rename your 'Official Animal Trackers Launch Trailer' video to 'Animal Trackers Pre-release Trailer' as it is misleading to viewers and may lead them to conclude that the game is of lesser quality than it is.
I've spent two and a half YEARS making this game and it would be nice if it could be presented as it was intended to be.

Dave, I've been following this game ever since you mentioned it was going to be released in the "Game Releases 2012" thread, but I've been hesitating because I really don't know what to expect. Is there any way you could upload another walkthrough, for say... a more complex level farther in the game?
Game details
I'll record and post a video a bit later, but in the meantime, here are a few details about the game.
The time limit for each level tends to increase as the game progresses, so there's usually more to do the further you get.
The 50 levels are split into 5 sets of 10, one set for each tracking animal (Foxy, Pumi, Bearny, Coyli, Sidey).
Each tracking animal tracks 2 quarry animals, 5 levels for each quarry.
Every 10 levels sees a change of terrain, but it's offset by 5, so levels 1-5 is lawns, 6-15 is grassland and rivers, …
Each quarry animal has its own evasion specialty, such as the rabbit disappearing down one hole and coming up another a little further away, the bighorn sheep being able to jump over crevasses which the tracker (Bearny) has to find his way around, the squirrel on occasion jumping from tree to tree without touching the ground and sometimes using that to get over hedges...
In certain levels, some trackers will need to interact with the scenery, such as hacking hedges to make a path through them, moving boulders into crevasses to make a bridge to get across, flicking switches to open gates…
Some of the later levels may require some forethought if you want to get the best time, such as pre-emptively moving a boulder into a chasm so that by the time you need to cross it from the other side, the boulder is already there to be used as a bridge...
Hopefully this will give some indication of the variety and puzzling that's contained within the game.

I feel a little dumb, I have read what I can and watched the video but I am unclear what the game is. I like the look but some impressions of gameplay would be great.
However, just as trails in the real world don't last forever, you only have a finite amount of time to find the quarry before the tracks begin to fade and the trail is lost, allowing the quarry animal to escape.
There are three difficulty modes, from 'easy' allowing the most time, to 'hard' allowing the least (to the point where you'll need to find shortcuts in order to finish the level in time, but doing so will reward you with the most points and also three stars).
(Breaking news: the next update will add 'explore mode' during which the timer is deactivated and you can wander around at your leisure, but finishing the level will only award one star and a flat 100 points.)
The tracks start out invisible and fade into view as you detect them by moving close enough that they are within 'smelling' range (which is basically the distance from the tracking animal to just beyond the edge of the screen).
Also, you have to find the tracks sequentially (that is, the trail must be unbroken... you can't just run straight to the end and hope to find the quarry there, as it won't be).
As mentioned in my previous post, the quarry animals have certain skills which enable them to cross seemingly impassable regions of the play area with ease, but which require the tracker animal to find a way around (or through).
Reading this back, all these details may make it sound a little complicated, but it's not really. Basically, at the start of each level, you see the tracks on the screen and you follow them as quickly as you can until you reach the quarry.
Well, it's late here now (gone 1am), so I'll sign off now and create another gameplay video tomorrow.

That description, Dave, is exactly what made me buy the game.
Impressions to come later.
Happy tracking!

Activision, Zynga, Expedia: Tech Pre-market
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Activision Blizzard (ATVI) was the big gainer in pre-market trading on Friday after the company announced an $8.2 billion deal to split from parent company Vivendi.
The Santa Monica, Calif.-based firm will buy back around 429 million shares from Vivendi for $5.83 billion, or $13.60 a share. An investor group led by Activision CEO Bobby Kotick and Co-Chairman Brian Kelly will also purchase approximately 172 million Activision shares from Vivendi for $2.34 billion, or $13.60 a share.
Activision shares climbed 16.27% to $17.65 before market open. The video game giant was also one of the most active pre-market Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 2,130,039.
Zynga (ZNGA) shares, however, tumbled 16.57% to $2.92 as investors responded to the company's weaker-than-expected guidance, released with its second-quarter results on Thursday. Investors also reacted negatively to the firm's decision to move away from real money gaming in the U.S."Investors have been closely watching the potential for Zynga in real money gaming," wrote Arvind Bhatia, an analyst at Sterne Agee, in a note released on Friday. "Bulls have argued this opportunity is large and is a reason to own the stock." Bhatia, however, says the move could mean greater focus on Zynga's core business, potentially positive in the long term. The analyst has a "neutral" rating on Zynga. The social gamer was also the most active pre-market Nasdaq stock on share volume of 3,828,208. Expedia (EXPE) was another laggard, plunging 23.31% to $49.85 on share volume of 651,821. The online travel site missed Wall Street's top and bottom line estimates when it reported its second-quarter results after market close on Thursday. Shares of Facebook (FB), which trounced Wall Street's second-quarter estimates on Wednesday, slipped 1.51% to $33.84. Amazon (AMZN), which reported a second-quarter miss on Thursday, was off 1.42% to $299.09. --Written by James Rogers in New York.

This offering is a condensed version of her classic book "Virginia Genealogy Sources and Resources".
The four-page laminated guide covers settlement, basic record sources, major repositories and online resources.
Born in Tshernovitz, Romania, Erica Miller was only seven years old when the Nazis forced her and her
family into a holding camp in the Ukraine, where they remained for four harrowing years before being liberated. But their relief was cut short when they returned to
their home and found it occupied by Russians. Only when her family immigrated to Israel was the author given the chance to escape the horrors of oppression and begin
a new chapter in her life.
A comprehensive and indispensable guide to tracing Scottish ancestry, this book will help you get to grips with
the differences and nuances of researching in Scotland, from civil registration and census returns, to parish registers and wills.
One morning in 1943, close to eighty men descended into the Smith coal mine in Bearcreek, Montana.
Only three came out alive. Goodbye wifes and daughters . . . wrote two of the miners as they died. The story of that tragic day and its aftermath unfolds in this
book through the eyes of those wives and daughters—women who lost their husbands, fathers, and sons, livelihoods, neighbors, and homes, yet managed to fight back and persevere.
The author looks at the lives and deaths of the miners and the tragedy's impact on the town. The title was taken from two lost miner's note.
It chronicles the hazards of post-World War II mining.
A novel where the author combines biography, history and mystery as she searches for her father's mother "missing"
since she died when her son was 6. From a box of keepsakes, a few journal pages and 90-year-old photographic negatives, the author begins her journey.
Discussing testaments, contracts, charters, land records, calendars, abbreviations, transcript conventions,
and much more; Understanding Documents from Genealogy & Local History is the essential guide for family & local historians everywhere. With 22 chapters covering resources
from England, Scotland, and Wales, this detailed volume fills a much needed gap in genealogy publishing.
Have you ever wondered what life was like in the villages where your German ancestors came from?
The book is filled with information, but fun to read because the author uses a fictitious family, the Mann s to explain major historical events and the everyday
customs in these villages during 1500-1850. Chapters include wars, religion, community structure, courtship and marriage, inheritance, family life and emigration.
The author presents a study of the most popular Chinese surnames. It is divided into three chapters;
One: History and general origin of Chinese names, Two: Analysis of 622 Chinese surnames and Three: an annotated bibliography.
Ms. Smolenyak has solved some of America s oldest and most fascinating genealogical mysteries. You've read the headlines;
now get the inside story as the "Indiana Jones of Genealogy" reveals how she cracked her news-making cases, became the face of this increasingly popular field and redefined history along
the way. This book tells how she did it.
In every field of study there is one book that rises above the rest in stature and authority and becomes
the standard work in the field. In genealogy that book is Greenwood s Researcher s Guide to American Genealogy.
No matter where they live, this book will help all those who are searching for ancestors in the Republic of Ireland
and (Northern Ireland). The author gives clues to finding your ancestral county, then the parish and town land within the county. He explains how Irish archival centers work and
describes how you can flesh out your ancestors' lives.
This work has been referred to as "the bible of German family history". It contains details on addresses; book,
microfilm and microfiche numbers; gazetteers; churchbooks and inventories; chronologies; German indexes of family history information; German, Latin and French genealogy vocabularies;
glossaries; numerous German correspondence aids; passenger arrival and departure records; help with the old German script; resource lists; German focused libraries and collections;
special directories and more, all in English.
George G. Morgan, Family Tree Magazine's Document Detective has revised and updated the third edition of this guide.
He shares sources and methods, gives examples and explains the basics evaluating genealogical evidence. This guide is suitable for beginners and intermediate level genealogists.
The author, a genetics professor brings us another unique DNA study. In a twist on Alexis de Tocqueville,
the author travels across America with DNA kits, meeting and swabbing scholars, celebrities and average folks. The results reveal the genetic makeup of our nation.
Each family history is different as are the stories of each ancestor. The research trail is equally
unique for each family history. In this book the author shares his experiences in hope of helping other researchers make their path to research success just a little
easier. This book serves as a research guide with examples from the author's experience with just enough encouragement to keep the reader going through tough times.
Scottish records are some of the easiest to access, but privacy laws prevent online access within certain
timeframes (100 years or older for birth and census records, 75 years for marriage records, 50 years for deaths), making your desk-chair research a bit limited. The time
is now to travel to Scotland to do your research on-site, Travel and spend time in the archives and get access to records not available on-line.
This book is the first to chronicle the paradign-shifting application of genetic genealogy to adoption search.
The author tells how DNA testing identified his deceased biological father and helped him reunite with his siblings.

Maui Part I: Take Five with Chef Sheldon Simeon of Star Noodle on Life Post-"Top Chef"
Wednesday, 24. April 2013 5:25
To say that life has changed for Chef Sheldon Simeon would be an understatement.
After placing third in this season's "Top Chef'' competition on Bravo TV and winning over viewers to be named "Fan Favorite,'' business has doubled at his already popular Star Noodle restaurant on Maui. Fans, tourists and locals alike now brave as much as a two-hour wait to get into the out of the way restaurant that serves creative pan-Asian street food such as Vietnamese crepes, and all manner of ramen, soba and saimin noodles – 100 pounds in total hand-made every day on site by one tiny, elderly woman whom Simeon affectionately calls "auntie.''
The crowds at the other restaurant he oversees, Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop, aren't too shabby, either.
When I visited Maui earlier this month as a guest of the Maui Visitors and Convention Bureau, I had a chance to sit down with Simeon at Star Noodle, where in between answering questions, he'd graciously accommodate the many diners who wanted to pose for photos with him. The 30-year-old chef, husband and father of three young daughters who was born on the Big Island, chatted about the impact the television show has had on his career that began humbly enough as a restaurant dishwasher.
Q: Why did you want to do "Top Chef''?
A: I could see the opportunity it brings. It's been overwhelming at times, but also a blessing. It was a chance for me to represent Hawaii. I wanted to test myself.
Q: What was the hardest part about doing the show?
A: Every challenge was hard. As a chef, I work alone on a dish. If I'm not satisfied with it, I don't put it out. But on the show, I was like, 'I can't believe I'm serving this to Wolfgang Puck!'
Q: Did you practice in any way to prepare for the challenges?

Collected Wisdom
In one of the most storied palazzos in Rome, an inveterate traveler assembles a global array of cultural riches and flea-market finds to create a distinctly personal refuge
By Craig Seligman
Living Room
The Doria Pamphilj has an illustrious, if complicated, history. Begun in the early 1500s, it rose around a large colonnaded courtyard that was reputedly the work of Donato Bramante, the architect who provided the original designs for St. Peter's Basilica. Construction didn't really finish until late in the 19th century, and today the palace is mainly known as a Baroque monument containing not only the Galleria Doria Pamphilj, but also 250 private apartments, among them some of the city's most sumptuous interiors. Italian public relations guru Roberto Begnini occupies one such dwelling. For a culture maven like him, "a place that's so identified with the city," he says, is the ideal home. He calls it "molto, molto Roma—the maximum of Rome."
In the living room of Roberto Begnini's apartment in Rome's Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, the antique trunk and 1920s portraits are Chinese, the lithograph is by Miela Reina, and the watercolor is by Cristiano and Patrizio Alviti; the tiled flooring was installed in the 1930s.

Colloidal Probe AFM Measurements of the Electrophoretic Force

|Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Colloidal Probe, Electrophoretic Force
Colloidal probe atomic force microscopy is a very useful tool in the study of colloidal interactions. Although this technique has been applied to study interactions between a particle and a polarized electrode during electrodeposition, it has never been used to study interactions in high electric fields as encountered in electrophoretic deposition. In this work, a preliminary study was undertaken to verify whether colloidal probe AFM could be used to measure the electrophoretic force on a particle. It was found that the electrophoretic force could be detected by colloidal probe AFM under certain circumstances. In order to prevent that the contribution of the cantilever on the measurement of the electrophoretic force becomes large, the charge on the cantilever should be small compared to the charge of the particle, which is attached to the cantilever. Moreover, the area of cantilever surface which is oriented parallel to the electric field should be small to minimize the contribution of the cantilever.

The Gay Agenda
By Peter Schaus
FILM: Bollywood buffs have much to be excited about this coming Diwali. Friday, Nov. 16, marks the release of two Indian films: Saawariya and Om Shanti Om. Saawariya has been getting notable buzz, mostly due to its lavish design and Romeo and Juliet-esque storyline, while Om Shanti Om had one of the widest releases ever for an Indian film in the U.S. Meanwhile, pick up Cut Sleeve Boys, the world's very first gay British-Chinese movie, when it lands on DVD Tuesday, Nov. 13. Cut Sleeve Boys tells the story of two gay men who react very differently to the death of a mutual friend: Mel (Steven Lim) sleeps around, and Ash (Chowee Leow) decides to don drag to find Mr. Right.
TUNES: Chances are you've driven your copy of Amy Winehouse's Back to Black into the ground. Good news: Generation Y's answer to the trashed, unhinged diva antics of Liza Minnelli finally releases her debut album, 2003's Frank, to U.S. listeners on Tuesday, Nov. 13. Frank put Winehouse on the map across the pond with hits like 'Amy Amy Amy' and 'F**k Me Pumps,' both required listening for pre-gaming.
EVENT: If we gays love anything, it's maxing out our credit cards. Why shouldn't we honor the people who make that possible? On Thursday, Nov. 15, the Commercial Closet Association hosts its Third Annual Corporate AdRespect Honors celebrating Absolut Vodka and American Express for their demonstrated leadership in the inclusion of the LGBT community in their advertising. You can purchase tickets at CommercialCloset.org.

Comments about Thorlo Experia Micro Mini-Crew Jet Collection 3 Pack Socks:
I use these socks only for running, and am extremely pleased with their comfort, quality, performance, and great looks. Their padding/cushioning properties are in just the right places, they breath well, are nice 'n soft, and fit perfectly. They also stay-in-place above my shoe's collar and tongue. Best of all, I haven't experienced any hot spots, shifting, or material thinning. I like these socks so much that I decided to add the "Jet Orange" color to my existing "Jet Yellow" pairs.

$30,000 Raised for Children's Cancer Network in October's Inaugural Run
PHOENIX (Jan. 27, 2012) - Grand Canyon University is hosting a spring edition of its successful Run to Fight Children's Cancer, presented by Pono Construction and benefiting Arizona nonprofit, Children's Cancer Network. The run will take place from 7 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 10, beginning at Grand Canyon University's new 5,000-seat arena at 3300 W. Camelback Road in Phoenix.
Participants in the 5K, 10K and Cancer Survivors' Walk will receive an official race t-shirt and goodie bag, with the first 500 to register also receiving an aluminum water bottle. Survivors will receive a special gift. Family-friendly activities will include jump houses, face painting, balloon animals, arts and crafts, a photo booth and appearances by mascots of Arizona's professional sports teams. Chip timing by Raceplace Events.
"Our inaugural run last fall raised more than $30,000 for the Children's Cancer Network and the money was immediately put to good use," said Jose Moreno, GCU's community outreach manager. "Childhood cancer has impacted even more Arizona families since our first race and more than two-thirds of our participants asked us to host another run because they are so passionate about the cause. Cancer never stops, so why should we?"
Every year, 12,500 children are diagnosed with cancer in the United States, making it the leading cause of death in children from illnesses. The inaugural Run to Fight Children's Cancer helped Children's Cancer Network provide:
"The proceeds from the fall run made a substantial impact in the fight against childhood cancer," said Patti Luttrell, Children's Cancer Network founder and mother to a six-time cancer survivor. "We regularly deliver $25,000 to $30,000 in food and gas cards in an entire year. GCU's donation allowed us to substantially increase that amount and gave us the opportunity to create educational programs we have been dreaming about for years."
The honorary race starter will be six-year-old Grace Kostyk, a spirited kindergartner who was diagnosed with leukemia in September 2011 and is currently being treated at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
Registration fees through March 2 are $20 for the 5K and $30 for the 10K. The Cancer Survivors' Walk is free and family and friends of survivors are encouraged to participate.

Oh, I dream of having roast lamb often, but living now alone without
