It's been a pretty mild winter so far here in New York, with temperatures rising above 50 just last week … so it seems only karmic that just when we were thinking we could deal with winter at its best, we're about to get it at its worst. Rumor has it (I go on Weather.com, sometimes) that temperatures are dropping, and a big chill is coming in a big way. If you haven't invested in some crazy-ugly, crazy-warm winter outerwear and accessories, well, you might want to hit express on that shipping. I know it's $15. Just do it. The good news: because we're technically moving into the next season (spring!), tons of these items are on steep sale. The bad news: you'll have to get your hands on them quick, before a) they sell out and b) the second ice age arrives. Okay, so maybe that's an exaggeration, but still. I just hope that when it comes, you'll have had the foresight to wear these …

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I'm a job creatorSubmitted by RSimmons (not verified) on Fri, 09/23/2011 - 11:05pm.
You write fairly well but with all due respect you don't know diddly squat about who creates the jobs. Rich people don't create jobs. they shuffle alot of money around but they aren't creating American jobs. The majority of American jobs come from the millions of small businesses like my own that employ a handful of people. I don't work for many rich people, 97% of my business comes from middle class and working class people. You want to get the economy rolling? Give the tax breaks to small business people like myself and to consumers whose spending equals 60% of our GDP. As for the GOP, last fall during the fight over the sun setting of the Bush Tax cuts. While they fought tooth and nail for the wealthiest I got hung with yet another increase in AMT because the GOP refused to negotiate adjusting the AMT. My taxes went up $2100 on the same income as 2009. For the record Democrats aren't doing me any favors either. Government regulations? I'm required to have insurances, licenses, bonding,I pay certain impact fees. I have to pay for certain employee benefits.along with related taxes. but so does everyone else in my business,therefore we all share roughly the same overhead. We all also charge pretty much the same. So what great disadvantage has this so called "socialist" government placed me in? »

SPRING has arrived, finally, after quite a winter. The water trail committee is hard at work making plans and working on scheduled improvements. In the works is a new website, a new and much improved map and brochure, "rack" cards and the installation of new access point signs. In addittion, the DNR and the DOH are in the process of putting new signage in place to help guide users to the sites from the Highway. A number of other improvements are in the works. We are also planning, what we have named,
"Meet The Cheat" day for early June to celebrate our first anniversity of the trail opening.
Stay tuned for more info on that.
The river is calling, see you on the water
Dave Cassell
Chairman, Cheat River Water Trail
2014 has arrived and spring is just around the corner. Won't be long until many of you will be putting those paddles in the water. The water trail committee is hard at work laying out the groundwork for improvements to the trail. Among the many things we plan to do, are upgrades to access sites, new signage, a new website and a new trail map and brochure. Community involvement continues to grow and our quest to find new partners contiunes. Stay tuned, in the near future we will be holding our first meeting of the year. After that get together, I will post an update with some details of our plans for the new year. Thanks for your continued interest and support.
Dave Cassell Chairman Cheat River Water Trail
The Latest from the Development Team
The Cheat River Water Trail held its 18th meeting last night Oct.15th, 2013. Eli Long from the Western PA conservancy attended. Amanda(FOC) Director accompanied him on a tour of our access points earlier in the day. He was pretty impressed and very complimentary of our efforts. He did point out some opportunities for improvement, which we will follow-up on. He also indicated that some funding is available from his organization and outlined what was needed in the way of applications.
In other news, our rack cards and map/brochure are being finalized. We have selected our designs for new signage and a new website is going to be under development very shortly. We'll be doing some work on access sites and kiosks as well. It's all about continuous improvement. We're already looking forward to the 2014 season. Stay tuned, we'll be posting some pictures and provide you with a peak at our t-shirt design in the next few days.

For Immediate Release:
Cheat River Float Trip Planned
What is the best way to spend the Sunday over Labor Day Weekend—enjoying
Rowlesburg, the river city, from the water! Take a lazy ride down the Cheat River from Riverview Lounge to Rowlesburg Park. The trip is beginner-friendly, Class I-II waters, and about 3.3
miles. Once there, enjoy the town's festival sponsored by the volunteer organizations of Rowlesburg. Lots to do in town from char-broiled chicken in the Park to the model train show at
the Ambulance Building. The Szilagyi Center will be open all day with its world-class museums, the River City Cafe and the Emporium. For more information on Labor Day activities in Rowlesburg
visit: www.rowlesburgguide.com
Free shuttle service will start at 11:00 am on Sunday September 1st, leaving approximately every 30 minutes until about
1:00 pm. Paddlers must drop off boating gear at Riverview Lounge first and proceed to Rowlesburg where cars will be left at the takeout. Meet the shuttle driver at the Cheat River
Water Trail takeout point in the Rowleburg Park just downstream (north) of the larger Park parking lot. Please contact Amanda Pitzer for more details: firstname.lastname@example.com. No boats or gear will be available in
Rowlesburg. Contact Blackwater Outdoor Adventure Center in St. George for information on boat rental: firstname.lastname@example.com or (304) 478-3775. The float trip will be cancelled pending low water levels.
The float trip is planned by the Cheat River Water Trail Committee which is part of Friends of the Cheat (FOC). FOC is a grassroots, non-profit organization formed in 1994 to "restore,
preserve, and promote the outstanding natural qualities of the Cheat River watershed." The group's primary focus since its inception has been the monitoring, characterization and remediation of acid
mine drainage (AMD), the Cheat's most damaging pollutant. The group works with its Cheat River Water Trail Committee to develop and maintain beginner friendly water trails. For more

Opening Day was a success. Thanks to all of you who came out to celebrate the opening of the Cheat River Water Trail. We had a number of special guests, including the Mayor of Rowlesburg, who celebrated her 82nd. birthday by taking a paddle trip.
Special thanks to the folks at Blackwater Outdoor Adventures, who allowed us to use their facilities. More details will follow with some pictures.
The work has just begun, with access site maintainance on top of the list. Our signage is marginal at best, and the DOH, has yet to put up access signs along the highways. Please bare with us during this during this initial start-up phase.
Continuous Improvement is the name of the game, and we're striving to make this trail as user friendly as possible.
A river and history flow through it
Rowlesburg's Szilagyi Center continues to churn up interest in Preston's past
Rowlesburg's past flows directly through that community on the Cheat River. Though this small Preston County town also owes a chapter or
two of its history to the railroad, the river wrote the book. And in a fashion, it's responsible for the latest page in its storied bygone days. During the devastating 1985 flood, the Cheat left its
banks and roared far and wide through Rowlesburg, destroying homes, small businesses and the town's centerpiece, its school. Though the building was not swept away, the damage from the floodwaters
caused it to be condemned. The three-story, brick structure was then put up for sale and fittingly, a river rafting company bought it to use for its business. About two decades later the owners of
the rafting company donated the site to Rowlesburg's Revitalization Committee. Almost like the 1985 flood's stops and starts from obstructions and bridges, plans since then for this building have not
been a steady flow, either. More aptly, good ideas for the site's use have appeared, then seemingly get dammed up with details and then break through — picking up more interest, and repeating the
process. Anyhow, you might make that connection if you look at how the Szilagyi Center — named for the building's donors — has developed since 2008. It started with housing a World War II Living
History Museum, then a Preston County Sports Museum and will soon serve as a place to display Preston 4-H'ers' memorabilia. Later this spring a library will also open, complete with a reading room,
and children's and rare book sections. Some may wonder how such projects emerged to fill the Szilagyi Center's space. What's not hard to imagine is what this building might have become. One vision
that quickly comes to our mind is one more shuttered eyesore like other condemned school buildings in Preston County. Or it could have been razed and become either a vacant lot or a parking lot. But
thanks to the efforts of scores of Preston County residents this building — this old school — is still serving to teach the area and this community about its history. We applaud everyone who has
contributed to the Szilagyi Center's development and smart use. Many communities in this area and across the state and nation continue to wrestle with how best to use antiquated school buildings and
others damaged by natural disasters. It seems to us that Rowlesburg and Preston County might have the perfect blueprint. Who not only know exactly where they're going with this site, but don't want
to go anywhere else, just like the river.

"Trout for the Cheat" did the frst of five spring trout stockings in the Cheat River near Rowlesburg on wednesday. Art George, president of Trout for the Cheat, said 1,650 pounds of 2-6 pound rainbow trout went into the river, with the assistance of cadets from the Mountaineer ChalleNGe Academy.
It's Official !! On Feb.8th,2013 we received our official notification of designation from the WVRTAB. as a West Virginia Water Trail. This will allow us to move forward on grant applications as well as a number of other initiatives.
In other news, the team has resumed its regularly scheduled monthly meetings. Our first meeting of 2013 was held on Feb.19th. We're back in high gear and moving as quickly as possible to meet our opening goal of the 1st. Qtr. of the year.
The team initiated its contribution campaign and will be visiting potential donors during the coming weeks. If you wish to make a contribution, please visit the CONTRIBUTE page for more information.
Thanks For Your Support
In The News
The first of a series of public meetings were held on the 15th and 16th of November in Parsons and Rowlesburg. Members of the committee provided an overview of the project and answered a number of very relevant questions. High on the list of concerns was handicap accessibility. To address that issue, we have assembled a sub-committee. In the coming months they will be doing research and looking for partners in the communities along the Cheat, looking for grants and developing a proposal.
With the rapid approach of winter, and its snowy driving conditions, the team has elected to utilize conference calls and the internet to conduct business during the months of Dec., Jan., and Feb. Much remains to be done and during this time period the team will be actively working on maps, brochures, and kiosk's, pursuing funding opportunities, investigating the use of boat slides and ramps, and finalizing sign requirements. The goal being to be in a position to place orders in March and begin the distribution process shortly thereafter. Site work will begin in early spring. We're still on track to meet our goal of opening the trail, which includes a maiden voyage, in the 2nd. Qtr. Of 2013. Much remains to be done, but the team has made amazing progress. It's difficult to believe just how far we have traveled in a few short months.
We will continue to use this website to provide updates and progress reports, so stay tuned.
Happy Holidays from the entire team and thanks once again for your continued support and participation.
December 12, 2012
The Friends of the Cheat staff, has completed the process of compiling all of our material together and has submitted our final application for state designation. This is quite an accomplishment and took hours our laborious work to complete. That completes yet another major step in the process. Hats off to the crew at FOC, for a job well done.
In other news:
Mayor Roberts and the city council of Hendicks voiced their support last evening and voted to allow the trail to utilize city property for an access site and volunteered their help to maintain the site.
Mayor Judy and the City Council of Parsons voted last night to support our efforts and signed a resolution. The trail will utilize 2 access points within the city limits.

Good News !!!!!!!!!
Our draft designaton request has been reviewed by the West Virginia Rail Trail Advisory Board(WVRTAB) and was accepted as submitted. We will immediately begin to complete our final request for designation and submit it as soon as possible.
Everybody believes in something, I believe I'll go canoeing.
Representatives of the Cheat River Water Trail Committee met with the Preston County Commission to provide them with an overview of the project and ask for their support. The presentation was very well received and the Commission signed a letter of support.
Only a few days later, the representatives, accompanied by a member of the Preston County Commission traveled to Morgantown to meet with the Morgantown Convention and Visitors Bureau. Once again they were well received and at the end of the meeting they were presented with a contribution of $5000.00 to assist the committee in funding the project.
Thanks to both the Preston County Commission and the Morgantown Convention and Visitors Bureau for their support and funding of this key project. This will allow the committee to begin work on maps, brochures and signs for the river trail.
In the coming weeks, the committee will be meeting with the City Councils of both Hendricks, Parsons and Rowlesburg. These three cities all are located on or near the trail itself. We wish to provide them with details of the project and ask for there support. It's our desire to enlist them as partners and activively participate in the development of the trail.
Public meetings are also being planned to allow the water trail committee to interact with citizens in the community. A key component of the project is to solicit input, answer questions and receive suggestions from the general public.
The tlmes and dates of these meetings will be announced on the webstite and posted in local newspapers as soon as they are confirmed. We urge all interested parties to attend and hear first hand the plans for the project.

Chimille Morgan - Lovely bags [Bignaturals/RealityKings] (2012/SiteRip/492 Mb)
Chimille came to have a fun time. She began my ironing her dress, topless, while waiting for Jmac to arrive. She looked delicious as she was ironing and her huge tits were bouncing around. Once Jmac got there, it was not long until she was sucking his cock and titty fucking him with those enormous knockers. She rode that cock as her colossal cans and juicy ass were bouncing around everywhere. She got man juice all over those huge tits.

Chimille Morgan - Lovely bags [Bignaturals/RealityKings] (2012/SiteRip/492 Mb)
Victoria lived for these new adventures. Had to have them. They both did. Fantasy after fantasy, each one wilder and more provocative than the one before. What could they do that was different? At Victoria's request, Jack even invites Rita back to the house for both of them to enjoy. And they do enjoy it… immensely. Until it seems like they'd done it all. No experiment that they haven't tried. There's nothing she won't do to please him. But it gets to the point where Jack no longer wants to make love to her. And that makes her crazy. He has Isabel bring home two blondes and forces Victoria to watch as they pleasure Jack and each other.
A lot of these chicks may still be wearing some old, traditional German attire, but that doesn't mean they're acting like good little village housewives or anything close to that! These babes are really getting into the Fucktoberfest groove by this point, with babes like Sharka Blue, Rachel Evans, Francesca Felucci, Gina Killmer, Anabel, Victoria Rose, Pepper, Celine Noiret, and lots more all looking old-school hot and acting very new-school naughty! Pussies are getting pounded and drinks are still going round as they would at any good beer fest, but these dudes and crazy chicks are more about the orgy action at this point than whatever fancy dresses they may be wearing (which are quickly coming off as panties are quickly getting pushed aside), so grab a brewski and check out Europe's wildest themed pornstar sex party as it gets harder and crazier with every passing update!

My 'Holiday-er' friends...I am posting a pic of our small town's Veterans' Memorial Lot (a FEMA lot that can't be lived or built on anymore)...it was installed last night & I took pics at dusk (about 8:30) ...no tripod ...just lots of pics & this one came out the best. A couple of the volunteers shined their truck lights on it so I could take pics! A local retired art teacher designed & created the memorial with the help of a Sculptor (college professor) who sculpted the 'stars.' Many, many hours of labor pouring cement, clearing the lot, gravel, electrical, hauling in dirt, prepping the ground for seed...so many volunteers! We are so proud to be a part of this group doing volunteer work this Spring to help out with these empty FEMA lots...our little town, New Hartford, is just over a pop of 500 now ...down from about 750 before the tornado & 500-yr flood of 2008. We have been working on 4 FEMA lots & 3 will be done by next weekend!...4 Season Perennial Lot, Town Square Gazebo Lot, Community Garden Lot & this one, the Vets Lot!
So, since I'm bursting with pride, I want to share this & wish you all a Happy Memorial Day weekend! Hope to be getting back to some decorating in June! Hugs, Jeanne S. |

Jeanne, that project turned out so beautiful. I can't even imagine all the work and coordination it took to create it. Congrats to all of you on a job well done. Your picture in the headlights was great, but the one with the rainbow in the background is wonderful. What a fortunate shot to capture that in the background. I don't understand how/why the lot belongs to FEMA and can never be built on again. I've not heard of that before. If you want to explain privately, my email is listed on my page here. Now get some rest and pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. Luvs |
I came back to see that 2nd pic! Did anyone else notice there are 2 rainbows in the pic? It's not quite 2 in. above the lower 1. Amazing! Love it! Jan |

There were 23 FEMA lots in New Hartford after the flood of 2008 ... people in these homes could either not afford to rebuild or have enough insurance to rebuild or just gave up on another flooded home...it means they took a 'buy-out' from FEMA ...so those lots can never be built on again...this was a 500-yr flood & affected many homes that never ever have flooded...but many of those that took the buy-out had flooded before ...but not on the main levels like this 2008 flood! So, when FEMA buys you out ...say like $25,000 or something I think may have been an avg (I don't know for sure)...then it becomes property of the city but cannot be built on to live in or have a business. The lots we are restoring have been this Vets Memorial, 4 Season Perennial Garden, Town Square Gazebo lot & a Community Gardens lot. We have written grants, raised money ...many of it donations & that's how we are doing it...we are wearing down as it is many retired people working long & hard...but we promised our community that we would have the 3 lots done by 1st week of June for the local yearly 'Beaver Creek Days.' It's all very worthwhile to all of us & brings a sense of pride back into the community. Thanks for asking, luvs & I appreciate all the comments from you 'Holiday-ers!' Jeanne S. |
Jeanne, your arbor with the Mandarin Honeysuckle blooming and little cherub is gorgeous. You should send that photo to a gardening magazine. Beautiful shot of the Memorial with the rainbows and roses too. Punk |
sunnyca...I went back to take another look...and yes - it was hard to see because it's so faint, but I did find it. Good Eyesight!! jane |

Jeanne, Everybody else has pretty much said it all! You certainly have the right to be proud and your photos are magazine quality! Beautiful tribute and I love that honeysuckle! TFS, |

Yep, DITTO on what the others said. But WOW...that photo with the rainbow is really awesome. Such a special moment to capture. You guys should all be bursting with pride. It has to be wonderful to live in that kind of community...I envy both you and Kirk for living in those kind of little towns. (I fondly call his "Mayberry", LOL.) Your honeysuckle is gorgeous. I've always loved that arbor as you know. |

I lost my comment post...starting over! Thanks everyone ... I am MIA so much lately ...taken on alot of stuff ...but will be slowing it down soon ...so hope to be back w/pics! Dollbaby has pouted for a long time now & I bet she'll never forgive me for not changing into summer duds! (She's still in her Spring Easter outfit!) Yikes! & she's wanted her baseball clothes for awhile now...maybe next week. I am reading posts & trying to comment ...love the Holiday Forum...today we went in & volunteered hauling mulch & planting for the 'Gazebo Lot' (former FEMA lot) & here's a couple pics I took today...lots of people helping on these lots! My DH helped build the Gazebo...it took about a week...isn't it gorgeous! We had Beaver Creek Days in it with little kids dancing in costumes & big kids Miss New Hartford pageant. Quite heartwarming!! Lots of donations were given to build this & hopefully it will be used for church services, small weddings ...family get tog...whatever...it's for the community...we did get some grant money, too. So I appreciate your comments! Hugs! Jeanne S. |
Oh Jeanne...it turned out so grand! What a wonderful place to enjoy so many events. I'm sure you and DH must feel so proud to be part of all these wonderful projects. Just think of how all of you helped build a legacy that will enrich your community and the lives of all the residents for generations to come. That's got to be some special feeling. Just wanted to let you know...Karen is a Facebook friend of mine, and jane |
The Gazebo is really wonderful. What a wonderful addition to your town. You and your DH should be so proud to have been a part of this wonderful project. It would be a wonderful spot for band concerts on Summer evenings. TFS Jeanne Nana |

What a pretty gazebo. Such a neat thing all of you are doing by finding a use for those empty lots and making them so pretty for everyone to enjoy. Luvs |

I can almost hear the music from the Music Man playing in the background! This is just wonderful and a project worthy of praise. Kudos to you both for your service. Your community is very lucky to have people like you willing to work so hard to improve their neighborhood. TFS, |

PROVO, UT — In 1995, James "Jay" Shelledy, then the editor of The Salt Lake Tribune, started a newsstand and billboard campaign asking people to "Think of Utah Without It"—"it" being the Tribune. The campaign was ostensibly in response to the newspaper strike unfolding at the time in Detroit, but it was also meant to emphasize the independence and singular journalistic role of the Tribune in Utah.
Eighteen years later, recalling that statement is enough to send a chill down the spine of Utah's journalism community. We're not close to being without the Tribune, but we're closer than we'd like. Two weeks ago the paper's management made the latest in a series of downsizing moves, laying off 17 full-time and two part-time staff employees—nearly 20 percent of the staff. Nancy Conway, Utah's first woman editor of a major metro, and editorial page editor Vern Anderson will retire early at the end of this month. Publisher Dean Singleton will leave that post, though he will remain chairman of the paper's board. In just two years, according to its own pages, the Tribune has reduced its staff from 148 to 93.
The Tribune's own coverage treated the layoffs as a big deal, as did the Radio West program on local NPR affiliate KUER, where I participated in a discussion in the wake of the cuts. And they are a big deal. People who live outside the Beehive State may not be aware of the Tribune's central role in politics and public policy here, but the paper is the state's most important news organization for hard-hitting coverage and civic engagement. Under Conway's leadership it has also become an ardent watchdog of open government, pouring money into lawyers, lobbyists, and coverage to protect the public's access to records and meetings. (Disclosure: in recent years I wrote a column about open government and First Amendment issues for the Tribune.)
Managing editor Terry Orme, who will assume the titles of editor and publisher, didn't sugarcoat the impact of the cuts, which he said were ordered by Digital First Media, the New York City-based firm that manages MediaNews Group. The paper will be at fewer meetings, and won't be able to cover some issues in the same way, Orme told KUER's Doug Fabrizio.
The Tribune's future success will depend in part on lively online coverage, Orme said: "The content [on the website] has to be fresh and new."
At the same time, Orme added in the radio interview, "We have to be the Tribune. The Tribune has traditionally been the place to go for meaningful enterprise, investigative work and explanatory journalism," he said. "We have to be able to do that and be alive online… We are committed to maintain the role that the Tribune has traditionally played—a serious, intelligent, fair discussion of the major issues that face the state." (I've written before about the Tribune's success in using Web tools to make its investigative work interesting and accessible.)
Orme and the paper's remaining leadership will soon have critical decisions to make about what gets covered, and what doesn't. The layoffs gutted the Tribune business desk, and environment reporter Judy Fahys and Utah journalism veteran Peg McEntee were laid off. Kim Mangum, a communication professor at the University of Utah, told me she sees the Tribune's future in local coverage that tells more stories about neighborhoods and local politics.
On air, Orme emphasized that the Tribune wouldn't be abandoning environmental coverage—a key beat in a state that, despite its wide-open spaces, is one of the most urbanized in the country. The paper also maintains a strong presence in Washington, with two reporters covering Utah's interests in the nation's capital. And it remains a leader on Utah's Capitol Hill with reporters like Robert Gehrke, whose ground-breaking coverage led to an ethics investigation of state Attorney General John Swallow.
Orme, on KUER, said the Tribune's drastic downsizing is a "little late" when compared to many other papers around the country. But it has the same cause—cratering print revenues, and an inability to generate cash from a digital audience, even as that audience grows.
A different story at the Deseret News
As the Tribune sorts out a path forward, Utah's other leading newspaper is becoming something of a digital darling, even as it targets a culturally conservative audience.
The Deseret News, owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, went through its own massive layoffs in September 2010. In the wake of that move, the paper started building a network of volunteer contributors to augment its paid staff, and made a new effort to capture the global Mormon audience while also attracting US readers who care about its six core editorial themes: "faith, family, care for the poor, values in the media, education, and financial responsibility."

I'm guessing they will continue to throw him out there in hopes to trade him in a couple months.....same with Gload, Sanders and Brown....as long as they can stay off the DL.

How to preserve (marinate/pickle) Suillus mushrooms (Weeping Bolete, Slippery Jack, etc.)
The most important thing during the marinating process is to keep everything as clean as possible and as disinfected as possible. Otherwise marinated and sealed mushrooms won't store in glass jars for long time as some bacterias will start the fermentation. To avoid this you need to take care of the mushroom cleaning, equipment cleaning and the conditions of glass jars sealing.
During mushroom cleaning and sorting,I separate mushrooms to those I will use for cooking and those which I will preserve. I take the most firm, hard, undamaged and young mushrooms for marinating. Actually, this marinating recipe below can be applied to King Boletes (Boletus edulis) as well. Other Boletes won't suit for marinating because they become too soft (even young and firm mushrooms) during cooking.
Before you start the process clean all necessary equipment (2 pots, 3 table spoons, 1 fork, 1 metal grid, 2 glass jars and their covers, 1 ladle) very carefully with washing detergent and soda in hot water and place it on the clean kitchen towel.
I usually sort and clean mushrooms at the same time. The dirt from Suillus mushroom caps should be removed as well as from pored surface under the cap. The stem should be peeled. The partial veil can be removed or left (depending on its condition). The bottowm part of stem should be cut. After that the mushrooms should be washed. Be careful not to wash them before cleaning! They will become so slippery that you will hardly be able to keep them in your hands From my own experience, Slippery Jacks tend to just jump out of hands and then you need to chase them around the kitchen floor :)
While you cut them, make sure to remove any snails, slugs and worms. Below you can see about 500 gr of prepared for marinating Weeping Boletes and Slippery Jacks.
To start the marinating you would need to have two pots – one big for mushrooms and one smaller for steaming the glass jars (I'll explain that later). In the big pot place bay leaves and sea salt (about 2 table spoons) and add about 1.2 l of cold filtered or hot boiled water. Bring it to boil on a nigh heat and when it boils add all prepared mushrooms at once.
Cook the mushrooms on a high heat for 15 minutes. At the same time bring water to boil in the second pot. Once the water starts to boil put the glass jar covers in the pot and place the metal grid on it instead of lid. Now place the glass jars on the grid and leave them there for 15-20 minutes while steam from the boiling water helps to sterilize them.
Before pouring the cooked mushrooms with the marinade, remove the hot jars from steam and keep them upside down on the clean kitchen towel to prevent loosing the heat too quickly. Using a clean fork (which is advisable to keep in the same boiling water for couple of minutes) remove the jar covers and place them on the kitchen towel as shown.
Now, we have to season the marinade. Take the clean (first) table spoon and take some water from the pot to taste whether there is enough salt. If not, add salt according to your taste.
Now, take another clean (second) table spoon and add about 1/2 table spoon of sugar and about 1.5 table spoons of vinegar (I've used apple vinegar). With another clean (third one!) table spoon (the same spoon cannot be used as you have already put it in your mouth and some bacterias can be on it) take some part of liquid from the pot and taste it. The taste should be lightly sweet-sour. I prefer more sour than sweet but it's up to you. You may adjust it according to your tastes (with the second spoon which you used earlier).
Once the marinade taste is adjusted leave it to cook for 10 minutes on the high heat. Usually the jars are removed from steam and the pot with mushrooms in the marinade from the heat at the same time because the idea is that the hot cooked mushrooms should be placed in the hot sterilized glass jars.
1 minute before removing the pot with mushrooms from the heat add in the pot cut pieces of dill twigs (4-5 cm in length), garlic and pieces (4-5 cm in length) of green onion. Horseradish root pieces can also be added.
In order to place the mushrooms into the jar you will need to use 1 ladle which should also be kept in the boiling water for couple of minutes to sterilize.
Once the cooked mushrooms and marinade is placed in glass jars they should be sealed tightly. Use another clean kitchen towel to keep hot glass jar and use the clean fork to put the cover on the jar. With a help of same clean kitchen towel seal the jar. Once the jars are sealed put them upside down on another kitchen towel (not necessarily clean) on the floor as shown below. It allows cool the jars slowly and no air pressure is collected under the jar covers.
After few minutes check is no liquid is going out of jars but do not turn the jars. Only if the liquid is coming out turn the jars and seal them tightly again.
It will take bout 8-10 hours to cool those jars. Once the jars of room temperature you may turn them around and place in the storage (basement or fridge). Mushrooms prepared in this way with all necessary sterilization and clean conditions will store well for a long time.
Once you open the jar, keep it in the fridge but no longer than 1-2 days. Otherwise it will develop mold and you will have to throw all mushrooms away.

But if you prefer to watch something live — and by "live," we mean "while guzzling cheap champagne at a safe distance from Times Square's Port-O-Potties" — we've got you covered. Below, check out our rundown of which special might be right for you.

On the 15th anniversary of the 'TRL' premiere, a look back at the first top 10
For anybody who did not live through the peak of MTV's Total Request Live, it's difficult to understand just how important that show was to pop culture. Every day after school, TRL host Carson Daly would not only unveil the 10 most-requested videos of the day, but he would also interview movie stars, call his celebrity friends, and facilitate awkward exchanges between unlikely bedfellows. Before everybody cared about tween culture, TRL was the center of that universe.
It was also the last time MTV was truly committed to music videos. Though as time went on they showed less and less of the videos on the countdown, the early run of TRL featured full clips in all their glory, and for some of the most definitive acts of the late video era—including Eminem, Backstreet Boys, Blink 182, and Britney Spears—it was the only place to catch their work (remember, this is in the era before video on the Internet was a viable option).
But before all the Mariah Carey ice cream drop-ins and Tom Green-related conspiracies, it had to start with the first episode of Total Request Live, which aired on this day in 1998. It was a hybrid of two shows—MTV Live and Total Request—that had been running intermittently. The first show didn't have a live studio audience, but it did have Daly's low-key charisma and 10 great videos. On the 15th anniversary of the show's premiere, let's take a look back at the inaugural top 10. READ FULL STORY

Carson Daly blogs 'The Voice' finale: Let's crown a winner!
The finale feels like graduation. When you look back, it offers a time of reflection. Last night we showed video of the four finalists' transformations and how far they've all come, and you look back and it's amazing, the journey that we've all had. Since the Super Bowl, this season has absolutely flown by. We had a lot of the eliminated artists in the audience last night, and you'll see some of them on the air tonight. It's been so wonderful to see how confident everyone is now. The four finalists are all there for a reason, and they're strong not only because they're four of the strongest voices in the competition, but they're the artists who have risen to the occasion. I think anybody could win this thing, I really do. There's not a runaway winner here. Tonight's going to be really, really interesting.

Carson Daly blogs 'The Voice' live shows, week 5: From the elite eight to the final four
It really feels like we've got an elite eight, and now we go down to the final four tonight. We saw a lot of emotions last night from everybody! Emotions on a lot of levels: everything from Erin Willett, who really broke down after her song, to Cee Lo, who was very emotional during Chris Mann's opera performance and certainly during Juliet Simms'. Everybody's realizing that there's only one more week left on season two of The Voice, and we have come so far. I think it's starting to dawn on a lot of people, and it's very, very emotional. This does not feel like a TV show to us; this feels like a family, and the family's been through a lot. A lot of good things, but there's a sense of the finality of it all, and I think people last night were really emotional because of it. By and large, 90% of last night was a shared experience where all the coaches really got to just enjoy these elite 8 and the battle lines were a little less drawn.
I think Tony Lucca's Britney Spears song last week worked well for him. It got him America's save, people responded to it, and it was a gutsy decision, and ever since Christina called him one-dimensional, making gutsy decisions has been the thing that's really worked well for Tony Lucca. After his performance last night of "How You Like Me Now?," a girl I work with this morning said that was the first time she saw Tony as a leading man. He was dashing, he was dancing, he had so much soul. He looked like an all around performer, and it paid off! It had a ton of energy, another excellent call by Coach Adam, and I think it's going to pay off for him. We'll see if he wins tonight! If he's in the finals for Team Adam, it'll be interesting to see what his final song is, because the last couple have been left of center.

Carson Daly blogs 'The Voice' live shows, week 4: Smooth sailing
The coaches really got it right this time. There was so much shock and awe last week — so much controversy over Jesse Campbell going home as well as RaeLynn and Jordis — that people may have been thinking, What's going on? But it felt like there weren't any surprises last night, which is a good thing for the show and has a stabling effect.
In regards to the beginning of the show, with Cee Lo and Christina and everyone laughing… all I can say is that it's live TV, and it's unexpected! The coaches all had the giggles, and I tried not to be sucked into that, but you have to just go with it, try to get beyond the moment, and wrangle those coaches in. We all can have a laugh for a second, but you can't live in that moment, and the difficult part is pulling those coaches out, especially when they're that giggly.
That aside, I'm proud to be captain of the ship, I really am. I'm so proud of the show, and last night reaffirmed how willingly I would take this show into a street fight with other singing competition shows. We've weathered some storms in the past, but I'm proud of our performances, of our level of talent, of our staging — it looked like awards-show caliber, and I am so impressed at what we do in two hours live. It's just remarkable.

- Mr. Shinn also assists and often takes the lead in investigating employee misconduct, especially misconduct involving computer, Internet, or digital information.
