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.

Subject: [Letters to STRATFOR] RE: Turning an Economic Corner
sent a message using the contact form at
I seriously disagree that the increase in GDP represents a turning
point. I feel this increase is due primarily to funds artificially
introduced (created by the Federal Reserve) directly into the 'product'
such as 'cash for clunkers.' This inflates GDP while unemployment
continues to languish.
I am not a convinced conspiracy theorist yet, but I have gotten to the
point where I am suspicious of Obama's motives. I do not think our
president is a stupid man, but can't fathom the reasons for his actions.
His willingness to spend incredible amounts of non-existent money on
questionable programs is an example.
I would very much appreciate a Stratfor discussion of the possible goals
he might be pursuing.

Making pickles is fun and easy. There are many basic salt brine recipes that can be used to produce great tasting pickles in your home in just a few days' time. Although most recipes call for the canning of the cucumbers there are some basic salt brine pickle recipes that can be followed which do not involve canning. These pickles, often referred to as "refrigerator pickles" will then need to be refrigerated as they lack preservatives.
Pickles made in salt brine are called brined pickles and were made long before vinegar was used. Vinegar's main purpose is to speed the fermentation process, and is not necessarily required to make pickles. Many people choose not to use it when making pickles at home, as the process can still make delicious, crispy pickles.
A more involved basic recipe involves canning the pickles in order to preserve them for a longer period of time. Below the process for both types of pickles is described. Although these are basic recipes involving minimal ingredients, you can experiment with your own spices and ingredients to suit your taste.
Basic Pickling Recipe with no canning required (This recipe calls for only 4 cucumbers. You can adjust it to make the recipe larger or smaller as needed.)
In less than a week and with nothing more than water and salt, you can cure a deli-worthy pickle. Because there are only three ingredients, each should be of the highest quality. The water should be pure and without chlorine. If your tap water is chlorinated, leave a quart on the counter overnight, uncovered, and the chlorine will dissipate. Bottled water also works well. In choosing your salt, be sure to use either kosher, fine sea or pickling salt. These salts dissolve quickly, ensuring even distribution in the brine. Do not use iodized salt as it can make the brine cloudy. Finally, choose the proper cucumbers to use. Not all cucumbers can be used for pickles. One of the challenges when it comes to this recipe is how to make the pickles crispy. The first thing you should do is to make sure you are using cucumbers that are labeled pickling cucumbers. You can also use Kirbys or another dense cucumber with a bumpy, thin skin and few seeds. They should be fresh, not over ripe, and feel substantial and plump. Do not use the long, slim salad cucumbers or any waxed cucumbers with a thick green skin. These are best left for cucumber salad or cucumber sandwiches.
Once you have carefully chosen your ingredients, you are ready to make pickles!
First, bring 3 quarts of water to a full boil in a pot.
Next, wash the 4 pickling cucumbers and cut them first in half long ways, then each half again long ways so you will have four spears. Place them in a jar.
Then, add the 6 tsp. salt (kosher, sea or pickling) and pickling spices (optional) into the boiling water, stirring it thoroughly until the salt is completely dissolved. Pour the salt water mixture over the cucumbers in the jar so that they are completely covered. Make sure they stay completely covered to prevent mold growth. Twist on the lid loosely so that air can still flow freely in and out. Over-tightening of the lid may cause bacteria to form.
Last, place the jar in a warm place that is out of direct sunlight and where you can keep an eye on it. It needs to sit for at least two days. Once in the brine, the transformation begins. Look for rising bubbles, even a little froth, within the first 24 hours. The brine may also become cloudy. After the second day, test the pickles by eating one. If they are to your liking, place them in the fridge or else leave them out one more day. While the pickles are practically perfect plain, dill and garlic can be added for additional flavor. These pickles are a source of healthy probiotic microbes, which occur by the natural fermentation in brine.
Salt brine pickles with vinegar (no canning required)
This basic pickles recipe, while similar to the first, uses vinegar. Vinegar adds flavor and also serves as a preservative. However, pickles produced using vinegar are not probiotic. The type of vinegar you choose is a matter of personal preference. White distilled vinegar has a mellow aroma, tart acid flavor, and will not affect the color of the pickles. Apple cider vinegar, made from fermented apple juice is a popular choice for many pickles. It has a mellow, fruity flavor that blends well with many spices. However, it may darken the pickles slightly.
There is also apple cider-flavored distilled vinegar. It has the flavor and brown color of apple cider vinegar, but it is a mixture of apple cider flavoring and distilled vinegar.
While any of these vinegars may be used you should be sure that it has 5% acidic acid for best results.
For this recipe you will need:
4 lbs pickling cucumbers
2 3/4 cups vinegar
3 cups water
1/4 C sea salt, kosher salt or pickling salt (make sure it's not iodized, because that can make the pickle juice cloudy!)
Boil your jars and lids in order to sterilize them.
Wash and slice cucumbers lengthwise into spears. Add the cucumbers to the sterilized jars.
Boil water and vinegar in a pot then dissolve the salt into the mixture. Pour the mixture over the cucumber spears and cover with the lid of the jar. Let the jar sit on the counter for 2-3 days turning them occasionally. After 3 days on the counter put the jar in the refrigerator. Once again, this recipe is for a basic pickle. You can experiment with various spices including dill, garlic or packaged pickling spices. You can also make your own pickling spices and store for use at a later time.
Canning recipes
The following pickles recipes involve the process of canning
Canning is a method of preserving food in which the food contents are hermetically sealed for future use. This preservation method allows pickles to be stored for a much longer period of time than basic pickling does. The prepared food is put in glass jars or metal cans which are then hermetically sealed to keep out air and then heated to a specific temperature for a specified time to destroy disease-causing microorganisms and prevent spoilage. Canning provides a shelf life typically ranging from one to five years.
Canning does require some basic canning supplies. The supplies you need will vary depending on the types of foods you are canning. For canning pickles and other high acid foods you will need a water bath canner. 21-quarts is the most common size, but you can also find larger versions. If you decide to buy one second-hand, make sure it still has its lid, and preferable its rack. You will also need glass jars with lids and rings. Purchase the top selling canners at the best price here.
Of all the canning projects, making pickles is probably the simplest. This can be a great project for any pickle lover and can be done with kids. Just be careful around the hot water.
Below is a basic recipe for canning dill pickles. Just about anything can be canned! Be sure to check out the other recipes throughout the site and feel free to send in your own recipes for inclusion in the site!
Canning Dill Pickles (makes 4 pint jars of pickles.)
You will need 4 glass pint jars with lids, ¼ cup pickling salt, approximately 20-24 pickling cucumbers, fresh dill, peeled garlic cloves, 2 ½ cups water, 2 ½ cups white vinegar.
The day before you plan to can you should wash the cucumbers thoroughly and be sure they are firm. Dry them and refrigerate them overnight.
Once you are ready to begin canning the first thing to do is sterilize the jars and lids by placing them into warm water in a large pot or water canner. Allow the water to boil. Boil your jars and lids for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove them with oven mitts and tongs.
Place your 4 pint jars on the counter to cool. Add 3 peeled garlic cloves and 1 head of fresh dill to each jar. Optional spices: Some people add 1/2 tsp. of whole peppercorns and 1 tsp of mustard seeds to each jar. You might also include 1 tsp of onion powder or some chopped fresh onions. For spicier pickles, add half a hot pepper or 1 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes to each jar.
Pack as many whole cucumbers or cucumber sections into the pint jars as you can (usually 5-6 cucumbers per jar). You should aim to try and fill it up to the top.
Next, make your brine. Begin by placing 2 ½ cups of white vinegar, 2 ½ cups of water and 1/4 cup of pickling salt in a saucepan. Heat until the boiling point and then remove from heat immediately.
Pour the pickling brine over your pickles and into the pint jars. Leave about 1/2 inch of space from the top of your lid.
Place your lids and rings on your pint jars. Then place them in your boiling canning bath. Set the time for 5-10 minutes and take them out when it goes off. Do not leave them in the bath for much longer than 5-10 minutes, or they will lose crunchiness. After boiling, remove the jars and wipe them with a clean towel. Let them cool for a day or so before placing them in your pantry.
Place the jars in a cool place, such as your pantry, For best results, wait at least 1 week before serving, to allow the pickles to absorb the seasoning.. Once the sealed jars are opened, store them in the refrigerator.
Just about anything can be pickled and canned! Check out these other recipes and ideas!

What is Blizzard planning for its next MMO? {Massively}
Sep 2nd 2009 7:41AM No matter what you think of Warcraft or any of the other games Blizzard has produced, one thing they absolutely excel at is the business of making MMOs and making money. They have created a lot of additional features that tie back into Warcraft and keep you coming back for more like the addictive card game business that has chances for in-world items. Like BlizzCon. a Store site, books, etc... a movie forthcoming by a major director. It's everywhere. Microtransactions in the future only make sense to continue to draw people in.
Blizzard excels at the psychology of the Game.
That said. I have absolutely no doubt that whatever they come up with will be entirely and completely different from World of Warcraft. They want to keep the millions of subscribers they have... and add more. So it is going to be something wildly and radically different which means you can pretty much guarantee it will not be a fantasy genre game of any kind.
AGDC 08: The Secret to Storytelling in MMOs part 2 {Massively}
Sep 24th 2008 12:34PM Actually... he's not far off the mark, you certainly need a complete living world but it seems like the technology and workflows arent quite there yet. Here's an example of what I would hope to see:
There is a peaceful little village being attacked constantly by baddies, let's choose orcs, the downtrodden meat bag masses of the fantasy world. The orcs like that location because it is situated on a cove where they like to store stolen goodies and they want to branch out into further pirating affairs.
Players get a choice. They can choose to help the poor villagers and go take down the orcs at their camp or they can help the orcs slaughter those annoying pinkskins in the way.
Record the data. How many players complete the orc quest, how many the human quest. Tally.
1000 people completed the quest helping the villagers but 5000 helped those pesky orcs.
With your next monthly dynamic world patch which your players will expect as a feature, you remove the human village and replace it with a budding orc village and a port with a small pirate vessel.
Now what? New quests to choose from... aid the orcs in expanding their pirate activities in the area or aid some of the buccaneer groups that dont want any new competition in the area and raise the orc village.
Record quest completions, tally, repeat.
Voila, dynamic worlds and environments. Not only does this open up a host of new possibilities that will make players question their choice of quests a little more but it will give them a stake in the direction of the game world as a whole and at the same time open up an entirely new avenue for the company hosting the game to create real legend, lore, and history about their world.

Fire Emblem 11, 12, and 13 are the worst games in their series and use a pornographic illustrator for 11+12 and a guy that's just a step away in 13. 13 also introduced atrocious DLC practices.

Dr. Thomas Q. Morris, Chairman of the NYAM Board of Trustees; Dr. Jo Ivey Boufford, NYAM President; Dr. Jeremiah Barondess, President Emeritus; Frank Savage |
On October 31, 2013, NYAM hosted a luncheon at the Century Association honoring the members of its John Stearns Legacy Society, NYAM donors who are influencing the future by establishing endowment funds or remembering NYAM in their estate plans. The society is named for John Stearns, NYAM's first President in 1847.
The event featured NYAM Trustee Frank Savage as its keynote speaker. Mr. Savage's remarks were titled "Reflections on a Life of Global Leadership and the Importance of Sharing Wealth and Wisdom" (an excerpt can be heard at this link). He spoke of his mother's influence on his values as a young child, as he watched her offer food and clothing to struggling members of the community from her small shop in Washington, DC. Her powerful example gave him a lifelong commitment to being a leader and helping those less fortunate, guided by the principles of honesty, integrity, and hard work. These principles helped him build a career in finance as one of the first African-American executives to be hired by Citibank in the 1960s, and spearhead a highly successful capital campaign for Howard University, his alma mater, where he served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees. These anecdotes, and many others, are revealed in his critically acclaimed new book, The Savage Way: Successfully Navigating the Waves of Business and Life.
Today, Frank Savage is a highly accomplished global Wall Street financier with a distinguished career in international banking, corporate finance, and global investment management. He is Chairman Emeritus of Alliance Capital Management International, a division of Alliance Capital Management, a $700 billion asset management subsidiary of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company and the current CEO of Savage Holdings, a global financial services company. Mr. Savage is also Chairman Emeritus of the The John Hopkins University SAIS Advisory Board and serves on the boards of several corporations and nonprofit organizations, including Bloomberg LP and The New York Academy of Medicine, having previously served on the boards of Lockheed Martin, Qualcomm, and the New York Philharmonic.
For more than 160 years, NYAM has been dedicated to advancing the health of people in cities. Gifts and bequests sustain this mission. Creating a fund for the future enables a donor to make a contribution that will continue to grow, have a long-range impact, and create a living memorial to a loved and respected person. For more information on giving to NYAM, contact Abigail Franklin at 212-822-7244 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The LAPD Hollywood Division would not confirm that the restraining order was taken out by Perrette herself, or elaborate on the events that unfolded.
Shivers is currently being held on $100,000 bail, however.
Pauley's ex, who also goes by his indie rocker nickname "Coyote", has been feuding with her for years and has taken it upon himself to post negative comments and legal documents on his Tumblr account regarding Perrette.

I absolutely love to prepare food any number of ways but more importantly, I love to eat it! Although I'm a health conscious foodie, I don't mind baking sinful, shameless desserts for the ones I love, or even acquaintances. I have an incredibly wonderful 27 year old daughter who shares my love for food. Other than that, I love my family & friends, teaching, movies, & technology!
I love ethnic foods such as: Peruvian, Persian, Thai, Korean, Spanish etc... Although I love most all foods, with the exception of black licorice and Uni (Sea urchin), I'm a little more finicky when it comes to desserts. If it's Chocolate (and I do LOVE chocolate), it has to be milk chocolate, and I don't necessarily like the fruit-chocolate combination with the exception of bananas. Other than that, eating is definitely one of the top 3 finer pleasures in life for me!

Fungus fight against mosquitos
Scientists say a ground breaking study, by a team of academics led by Swansea University, could have far-reaching implications for the control of mosquito larvae across the world.
They say the study, into the mechanisms by which the insect fungus Metarhizium anisopliae kills mosquito larvae, has been published by the PLOS One research journal.
Professor Tariq Butt:
'The results from the study show that by simply casting the fungus spores on water we should be able to help to defeat troublesome life threatening colonies of mosquitoes which have been gradually moving north into Europe as the climate warms up.'
'Trials are currently taking place in Africa and the findings would have important consequences for tackling malaria and other mosquito transmitted diseases.'
Noble gas molecule found in space with Welsh help
Picture Credit: ESA/HERSCHEL/SPIRE and PACS/MESS GTKP supernova remnant team. NASA/ESA/Allison Loll/Jeff Hester (Arizona State University). Acknowledgment: Oli Usher (UCL).
Scientists say a molecule containing a noble gas has been discovered in space by a team which included astronomers from Cardiff University.
The find was made using SPIRE the Cardiff-led instrument aboard Europe's Herschel Space Observatory.
The molecule, argon hydride, was seen in the Crab Nebula, the remains of a star that exploded 1,000 years ago.
Noble gases rarely interact in chemical reactions and before the discovery, molecules of this kind have only been studied in laboratories on Earth.
The Crab Nebula is relatively close, at just 6,500 light years away, so it provides an excellent way to study what happens in stellar explosions.
Scientists using SPIRE were able to analyse the light emitted by spinning molecules. It has a very specific wavelengths, or colours, called emission lines.
Two of these lines proved the existence of Argon Hydride.
Bangor scientists predict sea states
Scientists at Bangor University are working to maximise the efficiency of tidal and wave energy generating equipment.
They say computer modelling at the SEACAMS programme accurately predicts tidal currents, wave heights and other important measurements through the water column.
That helps identify the best sites for energy schemes.
They say one project is a 10MW tidal energy converter planned for The Skerries off the North West coast of Anglesey.
Glaciers "harbour a wealth of microbial life"
Scientists at Aberystwyth University have calculated there may be around a septillion, that's a trillion trillion, microbes living in the uppermost 2m of Earth's glaciers.
They say there may be as many microbes at glacier surfaces as there are in the top 200m of the world's oceans.
Drs Tristram Irvine-Fynn (Department of Geography and Earth Sciences) and Arwyn Edwards (Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences) have presented revised estimates of the number of microbes in Earth's glaciers and ice sheet.
Their findings are in a paper published online this week in the journal Cytometry Part A.
Dr Tristram Irvine-Fynn:
"Most of life on Earth is microscopic, and we know there are more microbes on planet Earth than stars in the observable Universe."
Ivy "has great potential"
Scientists at Bangor University are investigating ivy as one of a range of plants which could provide compounds currently derived from crude oil.
Work at its BioComposites Centre is underway to find new uses for natural resources.
Development Chemist Dr Dave Preskett:
"We've used ivy extract as a slug killer in place of slug pellets and trials using it as a fungicide to treat potato blight, in place of oil derived chemical sprays, proved very effective in protecting crops.
"The same extract also has great potential to be developed in products for treating dandruff and athlete's foot."
"An oil produced from the berries is edible, as ivy is not poisonous, contrary to popular belief, and has all the health giving properties of olive oil but has the more solid consistency of butter or lard."
Cardiff scientists' hunt for new antibiotics
A team of scientists at Cardiff university are trying to find new antibiotics to fight infections like TB. No new class of antibiotic has been discovered for 26 years - and they say if no new ones are found people will start dying of infections they routinely survive. David Wood reports
Wales has some "important and diverse habitats"
Researchers at Aberystwyth University say Wales has some of the most scientifically important and diverse habitats for grassland fungi in the world.
Writing in the journal Mycosphere Dr Gareth Griffith and his international team recorded fungi at 48 grassland sites in all parts of Wales, from Flintshire and Anglesey to Pembrokeshire and Monmouth..
They compared data with other areas in Europe and beyond and showed that several of the best sites for grassland fungi in Europe and most of the best sites in the UK are in Wales.
Several are now protected as SSSIs (sites of special scientific interest).
Dr Griffith and his colleagues hope the study will lead to wider public recognition of the global significance of these Welsh habitats and fungi in general to biodiversity conservation.
The study was funded by the Countryside Council for Wales (now part of Natural Resources Wales) and NERC, the Natural Environment Research Council.
Aberystwyth expertise for Mars mission
A space scientist from Aberystwyth University will be travelling to Chile's Atacama desert later this week as preparations for the 2018 ExoMars mission to Mars continue.
Dr Stephen Pugh from the Institute of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science (IMPACS) will be working on the ExoMars Panoramic Camera Instrument (PanCam) during a seven day field trial.
PanCam will be the science 'eyes' for the mission and will feature a correction system to ensure that images sent back to earth truly represent the colours on Mars.
The Aberystwyth PanCam work is led by Professor Dave Barnes who'll be based at mission control at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories during the trial along with other PanCam team members.
The ExoMars mission is led by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos).
It will investigate the red planet's environment.
Second body clock discovered
Researchers at Aberystwyth and Bangor, along with colleagues at Cambridge and Leicester, have found the speckled sea louse has two body clocks.
Writing in the journal Current Biology, they've confirmed the existence for the first time of a body clock which follows the 12.4 hour cycle of the tide.
That's as well as the one which most land-based animals have, including humans, which reacts to light and dark; the circadian clock.
They say the discovery of the circadian clock was a major breakthrough in biology so finding the tidal clock presents a new perspective on how organisms define biological time.
It could have implications for the welfare and productivity of commercially important marine animals.
Science park planned for Anglesey
Anglesey County Council says land it owns has been chosen as the preferred site for a proposed new science park.
Menai Science Park Director, Ieuan Wyn Jones has announced that a strategic site on the A55 expressway near Gaerwen had been chosen as a preferred location.

Just a word of caution for everyone here about these boxes, most can be opened without too much work!! I have one that looks just like the Center of Mass long hinge box that popped open with a screwdrvier and very little effort. I had the cable around a post in the closet up north when the combination lock stopped working and I couldn't get it open. With the combination lock not working and I was trying to lift one of the corners just enough to get the cable out so I could bring the box home to open it. Just as I was about to slide the cable, out the box poped open!! The weak spot was the "bolt" that the latch is on!! It just snapped and the box opened. It is a nice strong box but the locking mechanism seems cheap. I don't remember the brand but I got it from cabelas about 3 months ago.
I think these make a great little storage box and I will be getting something similar in the future but I just wanted everyone to remember that most of these are just a lockable box and not a safe.
Buy something better if you have the room in your vehicle. I know there's not a lot of options when space is limited. Found this online the other day. I always thought to just cut the cable with a pair of dykes, but he said the screwdriver was probably quicker.

I bought this wholesale through one of our suppliers because they couldn't find a tag...didn't know what kind it was...I just liked the wavy-edged very heavy, almost succulent foliage.
Planted it this spring as a 4" pot, finally blooming this week. The foliage/rosette is about 12-14" wide. Pretty, isn't it? :) |

WHITING — Monday's Legislative Breakfast in Whiting drew several Cornwall residents who urged lawmakers to slow down or suspend a Public Service Board review of Vermont Gas Systems's proposed "Phase II" natural gas pipeline. The $70 million project is designed to deliver natural gas from Middlebury to the International Paper mill in Ticonderoga, N.Y.

BRIDPORT — Health care reform, education financing and budget matters are making most of the headlines in the Vermont Statehouse these days, but Addison County residents reminded lawmakers on Monday of another issue they will follow intently this legislative session: A proposed law that would regulate the manner in which shoreland properties can be developed.
MONTPELIER — The Vermont House and Senate agriculture committees are gearing up for a showdown over changes to the state's flagship land conservation program.
A special study committee chaired by Sen. Bobby Starr, D-Essex/Orleans, struck all the language from a bill that passed the House in 2013. The Senate version — still a rough draft — was discussed at the Statehouse on Tuesday evening at the fifth and final in a series of public hearings.
MIDDLEBURY — Rep. Paul Ralston, D-Middlebury, has co-authored legislation he believes will inject new vitality into Vermont's business sector without spending a lot of new money.
It's known as H.736 — dubbed "Unlocking Vermont's Economic Potential" bill — aimed at protecting and growing Vermont's current industries, while encouraging and rewarding entrepreneurs and innovators in new technology and knowledge-based businesses, according to Ralston.
As Vermont has witnessed with campaign finance reform and Entergy, it's costly to pursue things legislatively that might not meet judicial muster. The Legislature may be on that same questionable path once again with the proposal to unionize the state's childcare providers.
Editor's note: This is an open letter to the Vermont Lake Shoreland commissioners.
I am writing as a citizen of Vermont who has spent his life on Vermont waterways. I grew up on the Battenkill River and went to summer camp on Lake Sunset in Benson. I have swum and canoed in lakes from Somerset Reservoir to Lake Memphremagog. I have worked on Lake Champlain for 20 years and am now the coordinator of citizen-science river monitoring program.
House Bill 526 provides an object lesson in what's wrong with the legislative mindset.
The bill, which was recently passed out of the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee, seeks to regulate "lake shoreland protection standards."
The intent of the legislation, like so many other bills, is all well and good. In short, the mission of the legislation is to ensure clean water in our public lakes. No one, literally, no one, is against that premise.
One of the chief goals of the Vermont Legislature over the years has been to cut energy consumption through greater efficiency and to develop renewable energy resources. We continue to work towards these goals. The following is a report of accomplishments, programs and work in progress.
State Energy Policy
Betty Nuovo, a Democrat, represents Middlebury in the state House of Representatives.
BRISTOL — They say the early bird catches the worm.
Fred Baser hopes that old adage applies to politics, as the Bristol Republican on Thursday became one of the first candidates to confirm a run for the Vermont House this November.

Fast Moving Slow River
An interesting view of the normally calm Salmon River. This particular hole is deep and usually slow moving, not a white ripple in sight. Perfect for fishing. But during the winter the river rises even higher and moves quite fast. The normally clear water becomes green from the glacial runoff on Mt Hood.

Third Millennium Bible w/ Apocrypha (TMBA) | New International Version (NIV) |
16 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord saith thus: "Wailing shall be in all streets, and they shall say in all the highways, `Alas! Alas!' And they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful in lamentation to wailing. | 16 Therefore this is what the Lord, the LORD God Almighty, says: "There will be wailing in all the streets and cries of anguish in every public square. The farmers will be summoned to weep and the mourners to wail. |
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing, for I will pass through thee," saith the LORD. | 17 There will be wailing in all the vineyards, for I will pass through your midst," says the LORD. |

Patrick-Murray Administration Awards $76,000 for River and Salt Marsh Restoration
"Rivers and wetlands provide flood control, supply our drinking water, and support critical habitats important to the Commonwealth's native fish and wildlife," Secretary Bowles said. "The Department of Fish and Game and its Division of Ecological Restoration have made dam removal, salt marsh restoration and urban river revitalization priorities in order to restore these vital systems."
The following projects were selected to receive funds:
- Town of Marshfield: $6,180 for the Green Harbor River Restoration Project
- Town of Somerset: $30,000 for the Somerset Marsh Restoration Project
- Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District: $20,000 for removal of the State Hospital Dam on the Mill River
- Ipswich River Watershed Association: $10,000 to examine the feasibility for the removal of the South Middleton Dam
- Hoosic River Revival Coalition/Hoosic River Watershed Association: $10,000 for the revitalization of the Hoosic River in North Adams
DER's grant funding is authorized by the Energy and Environment Bond Act of 2008. With its partners, DER works to restore aquatic habitat to benefit fish and wildlife. Restoration projects also serve the community by providing local jobs, improving public safety and helping communities prepare for and adapt to climate change.
"River revitalization is very important for cold water fish like brook trout and anadromous fish such as blueback herring, alewives, and rainbow smelt, while marsh restoration benefits fish and wildlife such as waterfowl and wading birds," said DFG Commissioner Mary Griffin. "In addition to physical improvements to rivers and streams, DER and partners are implementing innovative flow restoration projects in Georgetown, Scituate, Pittsfield and Stockbridge that will restore more natural water levels to rivers and streams."
DER also announced that new projects in Pittsfield, Cheshire, Athol, Plymouth, Middleton, Lawrence, Taunton, Rochester, Scituate, Pelham, Georgetown, Lee, Milton/Boston, Stockbridge and North Adams have been accepted as DER Priority Projects. A total of 84 active ecological restoration projects throughout the state have now been designated as priority projects, making them eligible for technical assistance and a future DER grant.
The 15 new project proposals include dam removals, urban river revitalization and a first-in-the-state effort to implement proactive in-stream flow restoration. DER focuses on implementing scientifically sound and proven restoration techniques such as dam removal that provide the greatest positive impact to native fish and wildlife. These restoration projects have ancillary benefits including improving water quality and recreation, eliminating aging infrastructure and safeguarding the public.
DER accepted the following as new Priority Projects:
- Pittsfield : Partnership with Massachusetts Audubon Society for the Sackett Brook Restoration Project
- Cheshire : Partnership with the Hoosic chapter of Trout Unlimited for the Thunder Brook Restoration Project
- Athol: Partnership with the town of Athol for the Thousand Acre Brook Watershed Restoration Project
- Plymouth : Partnership with the town of Plymouth for the Wellingsley Brook Restoration
- Middleton: Partnership with the Ipswich River Watershed Association for the Ipswich River Restoration Project
- Lawrence : Partnership with Groundwork Lawrence for the Spicket River Revitalization Project
- Taunton : Partnership with Taunton Development Corporation for the Cotley River Restoration Project in Taunton
- Rochester : Partnership with the Coalition for Buzzards Bay for the Sippican River Revitalization Initiative
- Scituate : Partnership with North & South Rivers Watershed Association for the First Herring Brook Restoration
- Pelham: Partnership with the town of Amherst for the Amethyst Brook Restoration Project
- Georgetown : Partnership with the Parker River Clean Water Association for the Upper Parker River
- Lee: Partnership with the Housatonic Valley Association for the Housatonic River Restoration and Columbia Mill Dam Removal
- Milton/Boston: Partnership with the Neponset River Watershed Association for the Lower Neponset River Restoration Project
- North Adams : Partnership with the Hoosic River Revival Coalition for the Hoosic River Flood Chute Naturalization Project
- Stockbridge/Pittsfield: Partnership with the Housatonic Valley Association to restore the Pecks Brook and West Branch Housatonic River and the Larrywaug Brook
The DER's mission is to restore and protect the health and integrity of the Commonwealth's rivers, wetlands and watersheds for the benefit of people, fish and wildlife. The Division was created in July 2009 with the merger of the Riverways and Wetland Restoration Programs.
The DFG is responsible for promoting the enjoyment and conservation of the Commonwealth's natural resources. DFG carries out this mission through land preservation and wildlife habitat management, management of inland and marine fish and game species, and enforcement of the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act. DFG promotes enjoyment of the Massachusetts environment through outdoor skills workshops, fishing festivals and other educational programs, and by enhancing access to the Commonwealth's lakes and ponds.

also, if I purchase an Igloo 48quart cooler, do I have to worry that my false bottom does not go edge to edge on all sides?
I'm with Michael. Tried hunting for seperate parts, and after getting limited success, broke down and bought the kit pictured. Works extremely well.
It is hard to get all the fittings you need to make the cooler valve work the o rings are not available in either HD or Lowes. The only place I have found to get them for any price near reasonable you have to get a pack of 50. Great if you know 25 people who need o rings.
It is also machined. That brass nut has one ID on one side and another ID on the other. The O ring is also rated at 450 degrees (or so they say).
Kai, that's the exact same cooler I'm using

Frituras de Quinoa
c.1997, M.S. Milliken & S. Feniger, all rights reserved
- 2/3 cup raw quinoa
- 1 1/3 cups cold water
- 1/4 cup al all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/8 teaspoons ground white pepper
- 4 green onions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch flatleaf parsley, leaves only, finely chopped
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Rinse the quinoa in a strainer under cold running water and drain well. Heat a heavy saucepan over high heat and toast the quinoa for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula and scraping the bottom of the pan so that the grains do not scorch. Transfer the quinoa to a large saucepan and add the water. Over medium high heat, bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, flour, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and add the green onions, parsley, egg, and egg yolk. Blend together thoroughly until the mixture has the consistency of a soft dough.
In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Using 2 soup spoons, shape the mixture into egg shapes and drop them gently into the hot oil. Cook, turning over once the croquettes are firm and golden on the bottom, until all the croquettes are golden on all sides (about 1 minute total). Drain briefly on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.

Blogger of the Week - Daniel Schwabel and the Gospel of Me
Posted on April 13th 2008
It wasn't as easy as it sounds, Schwabel admits. His first blog, Driven to Succeed, was launched in October, 2006 and failed to make much of a ripple. About six months later, he encountered the writing of Tim Ferriss, switched his focus to personal branding, and the rest, as they say, is history in the making.
"I was trying to find my own brand for years but only uncovered a few interests and skills, such as mentoring, marketing, graphic design and web development," he says. "I realized that personal branding was exactly what I had been talking about all along, without ever mentioning the term."
For example, he says, he had eight different jobs in college, as well as his own consulting company, and also held seven leadership positions in organizations. For each interview he would market himself with a resume, cover letter, cd portfolio, website, and more.
"I never realized exactly what I was doing and when I discovered that my brand was "personal branding" that changed everything," he says. "Since everything I loved matched the topic, it was quite easy to be an evangelist. My passion activates everything I do, no matter how much work I take on."
During his meteoric rise, Schwabel has somehow found time to be everywhere on the web, launch a Personal Branding magazine with--who else--Donald Trump on the first cover, host a podcast show, hand out personal brand awards, do some freelance writing, work on a book and serve on the board of advisors for a startup--all while holding down a full-time marketing job at EMC where he is resident social media expert and helps executives blog.
"There is so much more I want to get involved with," he says. "The key to success these days is to create as much value as possible and give before you receive. That is how I've been networking and it's helped change my life."
As we say here in New York, we should all have such problems.
I hope that Daniel will consider being interviewed on my blog talk radio show!
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/drsallywitt to talk about his road to success!
I have been celebrating blogging appreciate day all day long!
Have a great day,

The H105 arrives like most other Hydros series coolers, that is, in black packaging with a single highlighted color for the naming. We get to see the entire AIO on the cover, we see it mounts to both AMD and Intel, and it says Extreme Performance in the red line near the bottom.
Laying the box back down, we can now take a trip around the side panels. In six languages, we are given the contents, with two renderings at the bottom showing the radiator dimensions from every angle, with or without the fans included.
This time, we see six languages covering the extreme performance, easy installation, and customizable performance features of the H105 with a stock cooler comparison to the right. At the bottom, we see compatible sockets and processors to the left, and we see that the ring on the head unit can be changed to the right.
Around on this side, we are given the basic specifications and dimensions of the H105.
The last panel then lists five more features of the H105. They cover the large radiator, the SP12L fans, the improved mounting (we will see), the low-evaporation and flexibility of the tubing, as well as the copper micro-fin coldplate.
Once the box was opened, we found the H105 comes with the same internal packaging as all the rest of the AIOs. Separated compartments made of recycled cardboard keep all the parts from touching and does a great job of protecting the cooler inside. Our sample showed up in perfect condition without even a single bent fin on the radiator, and that is rare in our experience.

Breakfast was great Staff were helpful and accommodating Room was clean and bed comfortable
For a hotel of this quality to have internet this poor, in 2015, is inexcusable. Its speed was glacial to the point of frequently being non-functional.
The rooms were very clean, and the beds were very comfortable, I was very impressed with all you got for the price I paid.
The only thing I didn't like about the hotel was when you were in the bathroom, you could hear the person in the next room taking a shower.
Staff was outstanding and considerate. They went out of their way to help us.
The hotel is currently or about to be renovated. The staff made up for any inconvenience. We had a great stay.
The staff was very efficient and cordial,they went out of their way to make us happy.We were really pleased,will definitely be back.
Rooms were clean and Directv was a plus.
Parking area was dark.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great.
A bit of mess because of renovations, but it was handled well.
The free breakfast was good. Cereal and waffles, coffee and juice. WiFi signal was fast and strong.
The room was dirty. Clean linens but dirty walls. Moldy shower curtain. Heater too a day to warm up the room.
The hotel was in a relatively convenient location. For the star level this hotel was clean with a refrigerator. It had no microwave. The staff was ok.
the room with clean it was in a nice location
I couldn't get hot water at first it was noisy the staff wasn't too accommodating
I like that is was clean and quiet.
I didn't like that it was sold to like 2 1/2 stars when it should of been a 2 star
The people running it.
The elevator was out and we were on the 3rd floor.
The staff.They were the most helpful absolutely amazing staff of any motel I have ever stayed at, and I stay at motels all over the western United States
Staff was friendly, check in was easy. Full kitchen and couch in the room.
There were two hairs on our towel, both on the inside fold so they were not seen until we took a shower and went to use them. There was also a bird's nest in the hallway leading to the room, the floor was covered in droppings.
The staff was warm and friendly. I loved the furnishings and location
I thought the breakfast could have been out earlier, and my sheet was ripped at the bottom.
Room was clean and was very quiet.
Never saw a continental breakfast.
very clean, nice room with a fridge and microwave at a good price. breakfast included fruit.
satelite tv stations were sometimes unavailable
3rd floor smells like a hospital somewhat. My sister agreed
Service, hot breakfast, it was all a great an enjoyable event! Thank you for making it a very pleasant stay visiting our soldier!
The clerk on duty on 6/15/14 that evening around 7:00 pm was to occupied talking to a male for a long time. Didn't want to deserve her and when I did she told me the info wrong.
It was clean, quiet and the staff was friendly and helpful - especially the breakfast staff.
Could not get wifi to work
Extremely clean and well kept rooms.
The hotel was absolutely amazing! Very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful! Our room was beautiful and we had an amazing view of the mountains. The breakfast they had in the morning was very good too. Next time we visit Sierra Vista we'll be staying here again!
It offered a good rate for the holiday weekend, and it was for the most part located in the center of town.
The window leaked in our room, and my in laws room had dirty/stained sheets on the bed, and when brought to the staffs attention, they were handed clean sheets and had to change the bed themselves.
Very clean and quiet!
All I can think of is the lack of a towel bar near the sink.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

As far as getting money from the government... well, they do get to list all these kids as dependants. Tax credit!! So, we are helping pay for them.
WoW Moviewatch: Two Fellas {WoW}
Jul 17th 2009 3:04PM Apparently, I must restate a few things for those who didn't understand my point...
Sure, it's just a video...we get that.
It's a video game ... understandable. We all play. It's not real.
It's not directed toward those who have been raped... we get that too...that's totally understandable.
My point is when the statement gets used more and more as humor or just a term to tossed around, like "let's go rape that boss" then the phrase gets used flippant like a joke. Eventually, when the act happens in real life people may start thinking the act is no big deal, like beating up a boss. And the act becomes common.
I don't care that people got raped everyday... times are different now. We shouldn't get used to that. We should have to stand by that happening to anyone.
I'm not going to laugh at the term rape until it not funny anymore -- these are comments we are talking about. How it is being tossed about as something funny.
Then when it does happen to someone... people forget it is an awful, vile, and personally humiliating experience that no matter how much you have "gotten over it" or "moved on" from the act. Part of you still remembers the sting, the fear of being touched, the feeling that it was your fault, the time where you couldn't sleep in a bed.
And then the victims, well, we get told to "lighten up" or we are "selfish" because we are sensitive or we are told "it was just a joke" in vent chat because it's not real or "to get off our high horses" because we worry that the impact of what rape really is is not taken seriously or "it's just a phrase" like "Don't worry, be happy."
Yes, I have been raped. It happened a long time ago. I have come to terms with the situation and have "moved on" but it does still sting when some makes a joke about it. When some guildmember laughes about raping Loken. I know they are not talking about me. They don't know that my good friend hurt me in a way no one else could. They don't know that he laughed about it to his friends because he didn't think it was a big deal. They also don't know that his friends kick the shit out of him when they heard.
I know this video has nothing to do with it.
I've said that several times... what we are having a dialogue about it how the term somehow has lost the definition of what the act implies.
Personally, if the worgen said, "Hey boys! You were saying...." Now, that would have been funny. Because it could have played more on the wolf in sheep's clothing bit.
WoW Moviewatch: Two Fellas {WoW}
Jul 16th 2009 10:53PM Do you know why people are upset by it, because it is a hard thing to deal with. It's hard to get past feeling like you are "selfish" for being upset over it, like it was your fault in the first place. I guess maybe if I "lighten up" about it, then maybe I can "get a sense of humor" about "rape." I mean, "in the context of the situation", it was just sex right. It was nothing, it happens. That's why it's hard for some people to get past the term. Sure, it's just a video...we get that. It's not directed toward those who have been raped, understandable. But when the situation gets used more and more as humor or just a term to tossed around, then the act becomes common. And then the victums, well, we get told to "lighten up."
WoW Moviewatch: Two Fellas {WoW}
Jul 16th 2009 2:12PM Right, it was just a joke....
Oh, because it was a werewolf, I'm supposed to think that's funny because getting raped by an animal is hilarious.
Oh, I really should be focusing on the rapist -- well that makes everything better especially when someone tries to throw it back in victim's faces like it something that is funny when it happens to people.
Oh, I'm being 'politically correct' by being offended...well, as a victim of rape I don't find ANY HUMOR in this at all!
It's "jokes" like this that makes people think that rape is not a malicious and violent act on a female or male. Where in what instance is rape funny? Ever?

Thank you bunches and gobbles for writing this--I love a huge plate of spaghetti and a bottle of cheap kee-an-tee. Have fork, will visit.
If the regulars do hang out, though, the crowd apparently thins by 8 p.m., which is when I returned with some friends a few days later. By then, there was just one other table in the dining room, and those diners were already spooning ice cream out of tall glasses. But we were ready to drink cheap Chianti and eat platters of family-style pasta until we exploded — and the staff at Mama Sanninos was happy to oblige. They greeted us with the same enthusiasm displayed by the lunchtime servers, bringing the wine and an order of the garlic-encrusted bread I'd asked for before I realized that dinner at Mama Sanninos comes with a basket full of rolls. Dinner also comes with your choice of salad or minestrone, neither of which was impressive. I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that the thin, bland minestrone had a chicken-and-star soup base; the salad was an equally uninspiring bed of iceberg lettuce drowned in dressing.
We had higher hopes for the pasta, and ordered an entree each — then threw in a mini-calzone, thinking it would provide a couple of bites per person. But instead, the calzone was the size of a small dinner plate. It came with a steak knife, so that I could dole out slices of the doughy pocket, which had been stuffed to capacity with spicy sausage, green-chile strips and stretchy mozzarella. Two of us could have split the thing and called it a meal. If this was "mini," the standard calzone must be the size of a tire.
The entree portions were just as generous; the three of us could easily have shared one dish — but then we would have missed out on some delightful eating. Although the shrimp in the pasta fra diavolo, which we'd ordered with penne, was slightly overcooked, it featured a version of the marinara that had been infused with still more chiles, which made it particularly addictive. The lasagna was another success, the sheets of fresh pasta layered with sweet ricotta, ground beef and spinach, then coated with a layer of that marinara and topped with melted mozzarella that was still bubbling when it came to the table. My favorite entree, though, was the simplest: homemade egg noodles. The pencil-thick strands came covered with that incredible marinara (we'd requested the chile-heavy variation) as well as a couple of meatballs, the beef pungent with garlic, basil and oregano.

By the time we'd finished a bottle of wine and eaten all we could, it looked like we'd hardly made a dent in the dishes. We asked for the leftovers to be packaged, then braced ourselves...and ordered the cannoli, which is made in-house. And miraculously, my appetite came back when it arrived: The crunchy, deep-fried shell had been injected with chocolate-chip-studded sweet cream and dusted with powdered sugar. It was the perfect finish to a very good meal.
When we paid our check, Cheers reruns were already showing on TV and staffers were finishing their closing duties in the empty dining room. But the Sanninos were still there to wave us goodbye, urging us to return soon.

Thank you bunches and gobbles for writing this--I love a huge plate of spaghetti and a bottle of cheap kee-an-tee. Have fork, will visit.
Such an interesting review.....how well I remember Jim's Pizzeria on Tejon and Paisan's Pizzeria on Colfax, (such wonderful food) we ate at both locations for years and loved every bite. As a very young child I remember a smiling man tossing the pizza crust at Jim's Pizzeria, they had a window where you could watch. We would go there, and then off to Lakeside and play in the Fun House....long days gone by. I did not know about this restaurant, and I certainly will be visiting soon. Thank you for history on this family, of great interest to those of us that have been around for a long time.

If the earnings materialize as forecast, based upon forecasted earnings growth of 11%, NSC's share price would $146.19 at the end of 2018 (brown circle on EYE Chart), which would represent a 14.5% annual rate of total return which includes dividends paid (yellow highlighting).
Earnings Yield Estimates
Discounted future cash flows: All companies derive their value from the future cash flows (earnings) they are capable of generating for their stakeholders over time. Therefore, because earnings determine market price in the long run, we expect the future earnings of a company to justify the price we pay.
Since all investments potentially compete with all other investments, it is useful to compare investing in any prospective company to that of a comparable investment in low risk Treasury bonds. Comparing an investment in Norfolk Southern to an equal investment in 10-year Treasury bonds illustrates that the company's expected earnings would be 7.6 (purple circle) times that of the 10-year T-bond interest (see EYE chart below). This is the essence of the importance of proper valuation as a critical investing component. Summary and Conclusions This report presented essential fundamentals at a glance illustrating the past and present valuation based on earnings achievements as reported. Future forecasts for earnings growth are based on the consensus of leading analysts. Although with just a quick glance you can know a lot about the company, it's imperative readers conduct their own due diligence in order to validate whether the consensus estimate seems reasonable or not.
