Red Sox set to face Brewers in Fenway Park opener
Peavy, Estrada make first starts of season after ring ceremony
It's time for Ryan Braun and the Brewers to hit the road, and time for the Red Sox to come home and receive their rings.
The 103rd season at Fenway Park will begin in style on this afternoon, when the World Series champion Red Sox will be presented their World Series hardware ahead of a home opener against the Milwaukee Brewers.
"I'm excited that I'm getting one, and who knows when we can get another one?" said David Ortiz, who is collecting his third World Series ring. "It's just appreciation and thanks to God for the way things went down last year. I'm excited that our work paid off."
"Friday is going to be another reminder of a tremendous year and a tremendous experience for a number of people," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "We'll all take away from it our own special memories. It will be a fun day."
Once the game starts, it's Marco Estrada of the Brewers against Jake Peavy of the Red Sox. It's time to restart the party on Yawkey Way.
"If you can't have an Opening Day start [of the season], what's better than the home opener coming off a World Series win and ring ceremony?" Peavy said. "I'm excited, and like I said, I'm doing everything I can to get prepared for that start and I'll leave it all out there."
The last time Peavy pitched a meaningful game, it was Game 3 of the World Series in St. Louis, a Sox loss in which he allowed two runs in four innings. He came to Boston from the Chicago White Sox as part of a three-way trade in July that cost the Red Sox an excellent young shortstop in Jose Iglesias. Peavy paid off by going 4-1 with a 4.04 ERA in 10 starts down the stretch.
Peavy aims to soak in the atmosphere at Fenway today.
"Life's crazy. You never know what the future holds. You never know what tomorrow will bring. I try to be in every moment," said Peavy. "You just realize how special last year was. To become part of a family and win a World Series, and now starting 2014 trying to find a way to defend that title is special, something like I said I feel very blessed to be a part of."
For the Brewers, it's Opening Day No. 2 of 3. They already opened Miller Park with a win over the Braves, and after a weekend in Boston, they will head to Philadelphia to serve as the Phillies' opponent in their home opener on Monday at Citizens Bank Park.
Estrada will treat today's festivities as regular business.
"It's big for them, but for us, it's just another game," Estrada said. "I pitched last year against the Cubs for their Opening Day, and I realize this is different, because they're getting their rings, but it's only special for them. I'm not getting a ring. If I was, it would be the happiest day of my life, probably.
"For me, it's just another game. I'm just going to try to keep them from scoring."
Brewers right fielder Braun will also treat today as just another game, but it is his first road game since admitting to wrongdoing and accepting a season-ending suspension from Major League Baseball related to the Biogenesis investigation last year.
Earlier this year, Braun said he was looking forward to the jeers he is sure to hear on the road this season.
"[I] dealt with it in 2012, dealt with it for the majority of 2013, so I think I have an idea of what I'm getting myself into," Braun said. "As a competitor, in a really odd way, I enjoy it. I think it's fun. I think the more hostile an environment is, the more enjoyable it is. I just enjoy that pressure. In a really unique way, I actually enjoy and look forward to it."
Brewers: DH comes at ideal time
• The earliest Interleague series in Brewers history will come in quite handy for manager Ron Roenicke, who has a couple of players he would like to rest. Roenicke intends to use three different designated hitters in the three games: shortstop Jean Segura, who was bothered by a sore throwing shoulder at the end of Spring Training, third baseman Aramis Ramirez, who had offseason surgery to remove a polyp from his colon, and catcher Jonathan Lucroy, whose break would allow Roenicke to start backup Martin Maldonado behind the plate.
"Because we're coming off an off-day, it doesn't work out well, so I'm trying to figure it out," Roenicke said. "The first day is the problem, because [Segura, who was also off Wednesday] doesn't want three days off from throwing, and Aramis probably doesn't need it, because we have [Thursday] off. So I'll have to talk one of them into it."
Red Sox: Home sweet home for new Sox
• This will be the Fenway home debut for the following Red Sox players: Grady Sizemore, Burke Badenhop, Chris Capuano, Edward Mujica, A.J. Pierzynski and Jonathan Herrera. Sizemore should get one of the biggest ovations during pregame introductions, given the compelling story of his comeback. For former Brewers starter Capuano, a native of Springfield, Mass., this will be his first chance to pitch at Fenway Park. Pierzynski has played 32 games at Fenway with 121 at-bats, but he has never hit a home run there.
Worth noting
• Sixteen of the Brewers' first 19 games are against 2013 playoff teams, including their opening series against Atlanta and this series in Boston. All of those playoff teams won at least 94 games last season.
• The Red Sox lead the all-time series between these old American League East rivals, 218-185, including 7-2 in the era of Interleague Play. The teams last met in 2011 at Fenway, with the Red Sox taking two of the three games.
• Ortiz is third among active qualifying Major Leaguers with a .972 OPS in Interleague games. Braun ranks ninth at .929, and Jonny Gomes and Sizemore are tied for 10th at .925.

Garland hopes to outduel imposing Price
Veteran hurlers look to give bullpen break after busy opener
A new year, a new result for the Rockies in Interleague Play?
That's what they're hoping for as the Rockies look to break a rough Interleague stretch against Tampa Bay when right-hander Jon Garland faces reigning American League Cy Young Award winner David Price on Saturday at Coors Field.
The Rockies struggled mightily against the AL last season, going 2-13, including an 0-9 mark against the AL East. That trend continued with Colorado's 7-4 loss Friday and on Saturday, Garland looks to snap both his team's and his own Interleague struggles.
Garland has posted a 5.82 ERA in six career Interleague starts, going 1-3 with a .317 average against. The four-year National League veteran has fared well against the Rays, going 5-2 with at 3.27 ERA in 11 starts. He has a 3-2 career record at Coors Field.
He'll be facing a Rays squad that hasn't played well on the road, posting a 5-11 mark, but sends its ace to the mound on Saturday.
After a rough start to the season that saw him winless through his first five outings, Price has turned in better outings in his last two. The lefty earned his first win in his last start, allowing three runs in seven innings against the White Sox, and has pitched at least seven innings in his past two.
Price has only faced the Rockies and the high altitude of Coors Field once, in June 2009, allowing five runs in seven innings.
Rays: Loney swinging hot bat
First baseman James Loney is batting .489 in his last 15 games compared to posting only a .167/.265/.233 slash line in his first 13 games.
Loney also owns a .321 career average at Coors Field.
• Outfielder Matt Joyce has a six-game hitting streak and is hitting .300 over that stretch.
• The Rays have homered in a franchise-record 17 straight games, during which they've left the yard 31 times.
Rockies: Chacin ready for Sunday
Jhoulys Chacin said he feels no issues from a back strain that landed him on the disabled list last month and expects to return and start Sunday.
"I've fielded ground balls, bunts, everything, and I feel no pain. So everything is good," Chacin said. "I have no problems. I just missed two starts, so I'll do the same thing I was doing -- throw strikes, get hitters out, let the defense help me."
• Center fielder Dexter Fowler, who exited Friday's game with right hip flexor soreness, has an 11-game hitting streak during which he's batting .400 with two doubles, a triple and a home run.
• Outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is hitting .308 in his Interleague career.
Worth noting
• Both the Rays and Rockies have swept the other in their opponent's home ballparks. Colorado won three straight in Tropicana Field in June 2002 and the Rays swept the Rockies at Coors Field in June 2004.
• Rockies first baseman Todd Helton has a .301 average with 25 home runs in 209 career Interleague games.
• The Rays are 3-7 all-time at Coors Field and 6-7 overall against the Rockies.

Volturi "fisher" |
Loyalty |
- "Yes, they do look rather juicy."
- ―Heidi to Demetri.[src]
Heidi is a member of the Volturi guard. She is the one who brings humans to them to satisfy their thirst with her ability to attract people. Her way of dressing has earned her the appellation of "fisher" and "bait".
Heidi's main responsibility in the Volturi is arranging elaborate ploys to bring human victims to Volterra. She might orchestrate a contest where the prize is an all-expenses-paid vacation to some random location, or a job position with an amazing salary. Most of the victims never hear the word Volterra, and don't even know they are being taken to Italy. She uses numerous jets and other vehicles and props in her efforts to attract. Once a victim has met Heidi it is difficult for him or her to refuse any invitation from her.
Early life
Heidi was born in Germany and lived a hard and mistreating lifestyle. She met a vampire named Hilda, who decided to change her out of pity, and had lived with her coven for several years (which was joined by Noela, Mary, Victoria and Anne), before the Volturi accused them for attracting too much attention to themselves. In truth, Aro wanted to acquire Heidi to his "collection" because of her gift to attract people. Right after Hilda was executed, Aro decided that Heidi was penitent and spared her, Chelsea then bound her to the Volturi and made her betray her own coven. The rest tried to escape, but only Victoria survived, until she was killed by Edward Cullen in 2006.
Heidi became a key member in the day-to-day existence of the Volturi. Her primary duty is orchestrating elaborate ploys to bring human victims to Volterra for the sustenance of the coven. She is required to bring them from far away, without leaving a trail, as Alice explained to Bella on the plane trip to Italy that luring prey from beyond the city not only prevents hunting within the area but also gives the guard something to do when they are not annihilating law-breakers or protecting the city from exposure. Heidi might arrange an all-expenses-paid vacation to any random location, such as Hawaii or Spain, or a job interview for a position with an amazing salary. The victims never hear the word Volterra, and usually are unaware that they are even being brought to Italy. She has more than one jet and other vehicles and props to use in her efforts to attract humans to the Volturi's private city. Once an intended victim meets Heidi, she can use her power to make them unable to resist any invitation she extends.
New Moon
- Main article: New Moon
- "Ah, Felix. Heidi will be here any moment. Patience."
- ―Aro urging Felix to wait for Heidi.[src]
Heidi makes a brief appearance in New Moon, where she lures a group of tourists of all ages into the Volturi's lair to be preyed upon by their members. Demetri, who is leading Bella, Edward and Alice to the lobby after their brief confrontation, tells her to save some for him. While making her way across the hall, she gives a curious look to Bella and Edward before entering the chamber to feast.
The tourists' screams are heard when Bella, Edward, and Alice reach the end of the hallway, signaling that the frenzy has begun, and the vampires are feasting.
In the movie, she leads the tourists into the chamber without pause or looking at the Cullens. She comments that the tourists look "juicy".
Breaking Dawn
- Main article: Breaking Dawn
When the Volturi come to Forks for the immortal child crisis after mistaking Renesmee Cullen for being one, Alice and Edward mention that the entire coven is on its way, doubtlessly meaning that Heidi is among them as well. After the situation was cleared peacefully, she departs to Volterra with her coven.
Physical appearance
Heidi is described as gorgeous and statuesque with long, lustrous mahogany hair and long legs that make her 5'10" tall, and her beauty is comparable to Rosalie Hale, which makes her more beautiful than most vampires. By wearing blue contacts over red irises, her eyes become violet. Her voice is described as silky.
To make herself more attractive to her prey, she would dress up beautifully.
Powers and abilities: physical attraction
- Main article: Physical attraction
- "Nice fishing, Heidi."
- ―Demetri to Heidi.[src]
It is stated that, like Rosalie Hale, her beauty is exceptional, mesmerizing and unforgettable, and supported by her power to physically appeal to people, human or vampire; man or woman. Though resisting her attraction is possible, it's hard to succeed, especially if she is trying hard to attract someone.
Aro found her power useful in fishing for "food", as anyone who comes near her find her overwhelmingly appealing, and so bound her to the Volturi with Chelsea's gift.
According to The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide, her power works on a mind basis, and therefore can be rendered impotent by Bella's shield.
Heidi is named after Stephenie Meyer's sister Heidi, after her siblings wished to be mentioned in the saga.
Film portrayal
In the New Moon movie, Heidi is played by Canadian supermodel Noot Seear.

Dr. Rajiv Shah led the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah led President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also managed the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.
As we reflect on what we have achieved and bring new ideas to the challenges still ahead, it's important to remember that due to our collective follow-through on the commitments we made last year, to a fast and resolute humanitarian response and to help build resilience in the Sahel, we prevented a tragic situation from becoming much worse.
The United States continues to work through all possible channels to most effectively deliver aid. This includes working through the UN, NGO partners, local Syrian organizations and committees. Regardless of political affiliation, we are directing assistance to the most vulnerable people, and we are doing this in coordination with the Syrian Opposition Coalition.
When President Obama selected Raj Shah to be the leader of this organization, I knew instantly he'd picked somebody who understood this mission, who understood we also need to change a little bit, that we need to understand that we have to account clearly to our citizens in a time of tough budgets for all of the dollars we're spending in a very transparent and thorough way. We want to do that. But it also requires us to think creatively, sometimes out of the box, about how we may be able to deliver some of this in 21st century terms in ways that augment, multiply, when we don't have the same amount of resources we've had previously, but multiply the efforts in their return on that investment by creating greater investment opportunities, more jobs, building the economies. I think there are a lot of things that we can think about creatively together to help make that happen, and I'm convinced Raj Shah understands that, and I'm looking forward to working with him over these next years to help make that happen. We're going to get this job done.
At the Washington Call to Action, you announced that India will remain in the forefront of the global efforts against child mortality, acknowledging India's potential to greatly reduce preventable child deaths. Today's summit proves the commitment of India's leaders to both the global community and the children of India. The U.S. Government is proud to be a part of this initiative, and we look forward to working with the Government of India on addressing critical child survival issues.
USAID is proud to be part of this new Commercial Farm Services Program, one of many projects we have here in Ethiopia that form part of the U.S. President's Feed the Future Initiative. I am very pleased to see this group here today working together to achieve our common goals: to provide smallholder farmers with the tools that enable them to earn a decent livelihood and contribute to the development of their country.
I am pleased to represent the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the American people today at the 2nd Annual Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) - Cooperatives Forum, supported by USAID's Agribusiness Market Development (AMDe) activity.
Over three intense days we have seen how countries who have committed to reducing child mortality face great challenges and achieve progress by using proven cost–effective and high impact interventions, building health care delivery systems, working directly with and on the community level, investing in the education of girls and women, and by forging political will and determination. These improvements in maternal, infant, and child health are critical for overall development of nations.
Since the Legislative Research Program began more than a year ago, USAID has worked with the to strengthen the capacity to provide National Assembly members and staff with greater in-depth information and analysis on critical laws and policies.
The U.S. Government launched the EC-LEDS initiative more than two years ago to support developing country-led efforts to accelerate their economic growth, achieve their development goals, and address climate change. Vietnam was one of our first partners and we are privileged to work with you in this endeavor.
Haleh described my official title as Deputy Administrator, and that's what it says on the website. I help provide overall direction and management for the Agency, with an emphasis on the Middle East and Africa, oversee implementation of USAID Forward and advancement of presidential initiatives such as food security, global health, climate change, and democracy and governance. But in this small intimate environment –webcast throughout the world—I'm going to let you in on a little secret.
My real day job is to ensure that all our development efforts are implemented in an inclusive manner, in particular drawing on the contributions of previously marginalized and disempowered groups, whether that is women, people with disabilities, indigenous groups, youth, the LGBT community, and religious and ethnic minorities. They must be at the center of our work, and they must be planners, implementers and beneficiaries of all of our development efforts. We have a watchword we use at USAID, "Nothing about them without them."

This off subject, growing up my favorite soup was Swiss Chard and Lentil Soup With Lemon Juicehttp://www.food.com/recipe/swiss-chard-and-lentil-soup-with-lemon-juice-276909Where did you buy your Chard from?
Norma:My experience cooking with both chard and kale is that chard has quite a bit more water content.Barry
I put it on raw, and it worked great. No water issues at all. It would be a mistake to precook for NP unless you wanted to just put stacks of the stuff on a pie. I cut out the center stalk and chopped it into about 3/4 inch slices. I also topped the pie with buffalo mozz, hot fennel sausage, and Calabrian chilies.
Have you tried broccoli rabe on a pie? That would have to be tasty too.jon
It was very good. I'd make it again for sure.
Sounds good....wonder how a collard(not cooked down too much in a garlic,butter, Texas Pete pot liquor) topped with ham hock bits from the pot would turn out...a white pie with Gruyere maybe? Pot liquor drizzle...my snizzle?
I look forward to seeing you make one and telling us how it was.

Hm... Voynich Manuscript sounds pretty interesting... I'd actually never heard of that one before. You'd think it would have been the focus of at least one conspiracy special or something. LOL
Posted 20 November 2012 - 16:26
Voynich Manuscript is believed by some to be trolling instead of being an actual crypto. Which, frankly, just adds to the mystery.

Tamam Shud case
Considered to be one of Australia's most profound mysteries, the Tamam Shud Case revolves around an unidentified man found dead in December 1948 on Somerton beach in Adelaide, Australia. Aside from the fact that the man could never be identified, the mystery deepened after a tiny piece of paper with the words "Tamam Shud" was found in a hidden pocket sewn within the dead man's trousers. (It is also referred to as "Taman Shud.")
The phrase translates as "ended" or "finished" and is a phrase used on the last page of a collection of poems called "The Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam. Adding to the mystery, a copy of Khayyam's collection was later found that contained a scribbled code in it believed to have been left by the dead man himself.

Winter Jackets
Product Selection
Find the Right Winter Coats
Combat cold weather in the right winter coat.
From lightweight fleece jackets to burly down jackets, find the outerwear that matches every weather condition and adventure. Zip into a thermal insulated jacket for harsh temperatures or a lightweight soft shell for hiking and climbing in the great outdoors. Shop from a selection including:
- Men's Winter Coats
- Women's Winter Coats
- Girls' Winter Coats
- Boys' Winter Coats
- Toddler & Infant Winter Coats
Winter jackets are available in a variety of materials, colors and constructions to meet your needs. Look for details like full sealed seams, hem cinch cords and brushed interior liner for comfort and utility. Find a winter coat you can count on from popular brands like The North Face®, Columbia® and Spyder®.
Buying Tips
Select the winter coat that best matches your activity and climate:
- Soft shell jackets provide lightweight comfort and warmth. These jackets are constructed to be both wind and water-resistant and worn alone during mildly cold conditions. When the temperature delves, layer your soft shell with a baselayer or fleece for customizable warmth
- Fleece jackets are versatile for a variety of weather conditions. Wear your fleece jacket alone or beneath a soft shell to customize your level of warmth. The level of warmth provided by your fleece jacket is directly proportional to its weight
- Insulated jackets provide thermal warmth in harsh conditions. Insulated jackets are soft shells lined with layers of insulation, including down. These seam-sealed jackets are generally weather-resistant and can come constructed with a variety of natural and synthetic materials. Down jackets, for example are filled with the fluffy undercoating of ducks or geese
- Three-in-one system jackets are designed with multiple components that can be zipped together to form a single jacket. These pieces can be worn together or separately in more mild conditions
Expert Advice
Winter sport enthusiasts should look for a jacket constructed with four-way stretch fabrication and articulated elbows – features that let you maintain a full range of movement while keeping warm.
Maximize durability with a jacket that is both wind and waterproof, with sealed seams for complete protection. Always keep in mind interior lining in your jacket – a brushed or fleece interior liner feels superbly soft when you're pushing the pace in the cold.

Sounds more like a personal dilemma to me.
I have done the first...i would try the latter.
sobbing is too girly. i'd take sneezing.
AZGman wrote:Sounds more like a personal dilemma to me.
what's that supposed to mean?
Which answer will get me a monkey? Oh wait, prolly sneeze.
Would sneezing that much give you a concussion or something over time? Still though, I'll take that over uncontrollable sobbing. I'll just learn to use much much longer sentences.
I'd sob. randomly might mean a week between sobs, or 5 years. you'd never know.

History & Historical Fiction students will inevitably study United States, and in doing so need to obtain United States textbooks. But students of United States often spend far too much money every semester purchasing United States textbooks. United States books can be very expensive when you buy new textbooks, while a rented textbook can be half the price or less. For example, a rental copy of either Our Nation: Texas Edition, American Nation, or The American Nation can be 75% less than what you might pay in a college bookstore.
Textbook rentals are easy (and even cheaper than buying used textbooks! And there are a number of ways to find the rentals themselves. If you wanted to rent Holt United States History: The Complete School Atlas Grades 6-8 Beginnings to 1914, the best way would be to find the ISBN number (in this case, ISBN9780021494033) from your United States class guide and search for it on BookRenter.com. Whether you're studying 1800s, 1900s, or any other subject within United States, renting textbooks is the way to go.
Since launching the first textbook rental site in 2006, BookRenter has never wavered from our mission to make education more affordable for all students. Every day, we focus on delivering students the best prices, the most flexible options, and the best service on earth. On March 13, 2012 BookRenter.com, Inc. formally changed its name to Rafter, Inc.

Innes Crest Jewelry - Rings, Pendants, Cufflinks, Bracelets and more - Direct from the manufacturers.
There are several spelling variations for the Clan Innes surname. Included are families (known as Septs) with different surnames from the original Clan name. Throughout the centuries, surnames have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original Innes spelling.
The Innes Clan Crest which, all members are entitled to wear, is from the crest on the top of the Clan Innes Chief's "Coat of Arms". The complete Innes Coat of Arms is displayed only by the Clan Chief and passes down directly to his eldest son. The wearing of your Clan Innes Chief's Crest, is a way of honoring your Chief, your Clan association and your Innes Scottish Family Ancestry.
We make this range of Clan Innes Crest Jewelry and Innes Clan Crest as your link to your Scottish bloodline.
Click each box to view Innes clan crest items: ee your Innes family history below:
Clan Chief: No current chief, is an armigerous clan
Last Chief: Sir James Innes, 6th Baronet, died 19th July 1823.
Origin of Name: Innis is the Gaelic name for meadow or island.
Gaelic Name: Mac Aonghuis (son of Angus)
Clan Crest: A Boar's head
Clan Motto: Be Traist
Lands: Morayshire
A Flemish nobleman by the name of Berowald was granted the land known as Innes (being all the land along the seashore between Spey and Lossie) by Malcolm IV in 1160. The land ownership was later confirmed in a charter by Alexander II in 1226, to Berowald's grandson, Walter, who first assumed the surname of Innes.
A century later, Sir Alexander Innes (son of "Good Sir Robert" 8th Laird of Innes) married Janet the heiress of the thane of Aberchirder, and thus could lay claim to the lands of her family, further expanding the Clan Innes lands. Their son Walter Innes became the chief of Clan Innes and held the position for 42 years. Further along, the son of Walter Innes, "Ill Sir Robert" became the 11th Laird of Innes and also formed the Greyfriars of Elgin. His son Sir James followed as leader and was succeeded by his son Alexander Innes.
In 1579 the Privy Council decided to recognize Clan Innes as an official Clan, and thus the family became a clan of the form it is today.
The succession of Lairds continued to this day, with the Innes Clan expanding in both size and prestige along the way. Some of the accomplishments in that time have included the building of Innes House, the construction of Coxton Tower, the appointment of Robert Innes of Blairton to lord Drpute of the Register of Arms and Bearings in Scotland, and also Sir Thomas Innes of Learney, was Lord Lyon, King of arms from 1945 to 1969, his son Sir Malcolm Innes of Edingight, became Lord Lyon, King of Arms,and keeper of the Scottish Heraldry from 1981 until 2001.
There has always been a presence of Innes Clan members in the academic society of Scotland, with the most prominent of such, being Father Thomas Innes author of "Critical Essay on the Ancient Inhabitants of Northern Parts of Britain or Scotland"; Father Lewis Innes who was the Principal of the Scots College in Paris which played a large role in keeping and preserving many historic Scottish documents; and also Cosmo Innes who was the Sheriff of Moray in 1840 and a Professor of Edinburgh University, he also played a role in the preservation of Scottish historical documents.
The Clan Innes crest is a boar's head and the proud Innes clan motto reads "Be traist" this simple message can be both an inspiration to you in everyday life, and a reminder of the ancestry and history behind every Innes Clan member.
Our Scottish Heritage is the common bond that unites our Innes family name forever.

- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cases. Gently melt the butter, chocolate, sugar and 100ml hot water together in a large saucepan, stirring occasionally, then set aside to cool a little while you weigh the other ingredients.
- Stir the eggs and vanilla into the chocolate mixture. Put the flour into a large mixing bowl, then stir in the chocolate mixture until smooth. Spoon into cases until just over three-quarters full (you may have a little mixture leftover), then set aside for 5 mins before putting on a low shelf in the oven and baking for 20-22 mins. Leave to cool.
- For the icing, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Once melted, turn off the heat, stir in the double cream and sift in the icing sugar. When spreadable, top each cake with some and decorate with your favourite sprinkles and sweets.

Comments, questions and tips
I have now made at least ten batches of these delicious cupcakes in the last month! I have to because everyone who tastes them loves them! A superb and luxurious recipe Sarah! I even served them at my ten year old daughter's Harry Potter birthday - I cut out a penny sized hollow out of the middle and filled them with white buttercream coloured using food colouring either red, blue, yellow, or green (the Hogwarts house colours). I then sealed and topped them off with a great swirly cone of chocolate buttercream icing to make.... Sorting Hat cupcakes!!!! As each of my daughter's guests arrived, they chose a random cupcake, then they were sorted into houses as revealed by the centre of their cupcake when they bit into it!
Never made cupcake this was my first recipes.I will try now and let you know how it came...
My world
Delicious! I made these yesterday with my 6 yr old daughter. Easy and quick to make. Moist and quite rich. Instead of making icing, as we didn't have any double cream, I used chocolate fudge icing (ready made) and decorated with smarties as the recipe states. Would definitely recommend and will be making again. We got 19 out of this batch. I put them on lowest shelf in gas oven for 22 mins. usually my cakes are dry but these were perfect as I think putting them on low shelf made a big difference.
that's a very simple easy to make recipe... and healthy for babies...
check it...http://marmiteetponpon.com/2014/03/06/simple-cake-for-your-baby/
These cupcakes were my first ever successful bake! Really chocolatey and rich as said below, but I thought that was great. I don't know if I would describe them as cupcakes, as they are really more like brownies, but that's not bad! I made them in small cupcake cases so got about 20 from this mixture and covered in them dark chocolate and white chocolate buttons. Everyone loved them!
Pretty good. This was just my second time baking, so was relieved when it turned out well. I did have to improvise a bit. I used 1) milk chocolate instead of plain chocolate, 2) fresh cream (25% fat) instead of double cream. (Not sure if we get double cream that easily in India.) 3) Also, since I used milk chocolate, I toned down the amount of sugar in the icing to 35 gm. 4) Used the microwave in the convection mode instead of an oven.
All in all, it turned out perfectly delicious. Will try again with dark chocolate. :)

I agree Compiz is a turd, but I think there is other problem that is causing it to become a turd. I have had to resort back to using Openbox with Ubuntu 12.04, Unity and Gnome3 are both unstable for me. I'm running AMD Phenom II N620 Duel Core + AMD 4200 on-board graphics (laptop). With Unity and Gnome3, I have Xorg and Compiz processes taking CPU to full load. I have tried both the open driver and AMD drivers from the repository and installed from the AMD web site. With the same results. I did not see this in Ubuntu 11.10 and even in the 12.04 beta. I have looked around the web and have ran across some bug reports with users experiencing the same problem all with different hardware. Some of the point to Compiz other point the finger at the PAE kernel. I have tried most of the easy suggestions to fix this, but none of theses work. I'm hoping this will be addressed in further updates.
TLDR: Compiz,Unity and or Ubuntu's Kernel is broken And it needs to be fixed.
DEV: Intel S2600C0, 2xE52658V2, 32GB, 4x2TB + 2x3TB, GTX780, F21/x86_64, Dell U2711.

There was, and you are correct.
Ivy bridge doesn't have the best support in linux, and provides a fairly crappy experience (compared to Nvidia/AMD). to quote Michael regarding win7 vs. linux on Ivy bridge;

To blame compiz at the end of it all, when you aren't even benchmarking it - seems a bit silly.
As d2kx pointed out;
I was told abut this a while ago, by one of the main compiz-devs. We were discussing this very issue. He stated that Unity needed some changes because it had some perofrmance issues, which compiz didn't have. He even said something along the lines of but i'm sure it doesn't matter to you (me), since you aren't using Ubuntu. ~ to which i added that Unity runs on Archlinux, so i know some people who it does matter to

It's pleasing to see KDE doing well and often even not far off XFCE in those benchmarks. Kwin has come a long way.
" Compiz has turned out to be a shivery wreck that is unlikely to see dramatic improvements in the near future."
I find this to be offensive. I worked myself into a severe depression trying to get everything working and this is all you can say.
At this point the whole website is a shivery wreck.
I think webupd8.org and h-online.com provide better linux coverage, without all the sensationalism.

new to the bike community, but gaining speed...
so I've been biking (sorry, cycling) for years but only in a recreation sense... always drove a car to work and got on the bicycle after and on weekends...
well now I've ditched the car and use TriMet and my bike as my primary transportation and couldn't be happier... I'd been riding a Giant Rincon ('80's model) in street mode for the last 5 years and gave my new wife a spare Giant Yukon I had so that I could get her addicted to it as well... now we pull a toddler in the trailer instead of dogs... and we just picked up a new pair of his/hers Electra Townies for cruising around and for me to get to work (~15 miles round-trip)... my first new bike in 25 years and it's so comfy and smooth... we're evolving... now that I've been car-free since the beginning of the year I've been reading this site religiously and peeking in on all the other bicycle oriented sites in Portland... it's great to see all the work going into evolving cycling into the spotlight it deserves and I hope to be involved in many events when the weather permits... so expect lots of silly/stupid questions from me and try to forgive me for using the term "bikers" as I'm just that casual, sorry... (: |
Hey Spiffy !...I'll extend to you the grand bikeportland forums welcome...such as it is......! This forum is actually kind of quiet compared to another that comes to mind, so more people weighing in here with good ideas could be a big benefit. I like the level of activity, content and mutual respect of another weblog...bikeforums. I wish this forum had more of that going on, focused on issues of particular concern to our area...the metro area...the west side, and so on.
Sounds as though you aren't in short supply for bikes to ride. None of them are the type I ride (road bike), but lots of people do, so you should find plenty of company. Yeah, some people....for example...our honorable Editor in Chief of Bikeportland...occasionally get anxious about 'people that ride bikes' being referred to as bicyclists, cyclists, bikers. Fear of dismissive objectification? So to keep the dude working on more important stuff, most people commenting seem to avoid the use of those words ...nyuck,nyuck, nyuck !!.

Welcome to the Forum!
Hi Spiffy,
Welcome to the forums here. Sorry it's been so long before I was able to get around to saying "Hi". I have to agree with wsbob, it has been quiet around here for a while. But people do check it out. So, it's still a good place to get local questions addressed. All The Best! K'Tesh |

Becoming a finacial advisor Posted by mandevilletiger34 on 11/13 at 9:01 am Considering a complete career change. With the right training and good company, how hard is it to become a successful financial advisor with proper certifications and licenses?Reply Back to Top |
Posted by LSUcam on 11/13 at 9:04 am to mandevilletiger34 It depends. I am with Merrill Lynch as a financial advisor for Merrill Edge, and the job is definitely performance based, but is much more relaxed than a build-your-book branch gig. When you have to go out in your community and solicit new business, that's when FA work gets tough. People like to invest with folks that they know and respect, and that comfort level is tough to establish. It just depends with the position and role you play for your company. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Janky on 11/13 at 9:05 am to mandevilletiger34 quote: That is the easy part. Building a book of business that supports you is another thing. My advice to you would be to start at a bank. They have decent training and and you have a built in referral base. You can then create relationships and move on later and hopefully they will move with you. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by whodatigahbait on 11/13 at 9:30 am to Janky quote: +1. Another option is to try to get in with a wirehouse but ONLY if you can get on with an established group. Building at book solo can be really tought but if you are part of a group you have some backing and support. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by mandevilletiger34 on 11/13 at 9:40 am to LSUcam quote: This is who I am looking to talk to? Part of the Merrill 38 month training program. I am looking for something where I can interact with people and keep learning as I grow. Is it more of a strictly commission based position? Reply Back to Top |
Posted by LSUcam on 11/13 at 9:51 am to mandevilletiger34 Are you looking at the PMD program? Just FYI, it is extremely demanding and the success rate is low. Not trying to say its a bad progam, but it is geared to someone willing to to absolutely whatever it takes. And even then, many fail. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by mandevilletiger34 on 11/13 at 9:56 am to LSUcam quote: I believe that is what it was. I am not opposed to a challenge, but I am also looking to earn a salary with benefits while going through the process. Not sure if that program fits into that area? Is the program a full time "job?" Did you go through the program? Reply Back to Top |

Posted by LSUcam on 11/13 at 10:04 am to mandevilletiger34 With a limited financial background, a teller would not be unreasonable. I suggest reaching out to a few local banks and getting a beginner finance book (Finance for Dummies, A Random Walk Down Wallstreet, etc.)Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Janky on 11/13 at 10:14 am to mandevilletiger34 quote: I will tell you this as I have been with an independant from day one. However, my brother in law started in the mortgage dept. of a bank and moved to the advisor side. I don't hink being a teller will help you all that much. You can start as a junior broker. Your senior broker should help you succeed because part of his income is determined by you. You will work long hours and som saturdays, but that is the price you pay. If you eventually make in the business it can be very rewarding. Where are you located? Good luck. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by BARNEYSTINSON on 11/13 at 11:24 am to Janky I agree, that a bank is a great place to start. But, I disagree that it will provide great training. The bank will allow you to have access to prospects and their financial situation so that you wont be flying blind. I think the Merrill training program then switching to a bank if you arent with an established group as a Junior Broker would be my recommendation. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by bbuisson on 11/13 at 2:05 pm to Breadcrumbs I wouldn't classify all bank programs the same. Some are terrible places to learn the business and others are better than your wirehouses. All depends on the program. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by tigerrocket on 11/13 at 2:31 pm to mandevilletiger34 If you can get into a training program with a wirehouse, it will open up opportunities within the firm and outside. Once a wirehouse pays for your training and licenses, you will have many options including joining a successful team . Banks typically don't hire financial advisors that aren't licensed and have some experience. You will learn very little as a bank financial advisor, except how to sell annuities and other high commission products. Reply Back to Top |

single handedly the coolest football team in the NFL. Lost 4 straight Super Bowls in the 1990's. But the more important thing is that they MADE IT to 4 straight Super Bowls....and people still say that they sucked. Lets see the Dolphins or Patriots make it to 4 straight.
Oh yeah, they had OJ Simpson playing for them as their star player too!
JP Losman in 2005 all the way!

One of the NFL's loveable losers, they were founded in 1960 as a member of the AFL, winning 2 championships in the league in 1964 and '65. Made the playoffs just one time in the 1970s, despite having OJ Simpson at running back. Were an excellent team from the late 1980s to the late 1990s, with 10 playoff berths in 12 years. These teams were led by 2 hall of famers who never won a championship- quarterback Jim Kelly and coach Marv Levy. Buffalo went to 4 straight Super Bowls from 1990-93, losing everyone. The first was lost on a missed field goal by Scott Norwood. The Bills have not made the playoffs since 1999, despite assembling some talented players in recent years.
"The Buffalo Bills with a chance to win the Super Bowl, down 20-19 to the Giants. Norwood, from 47 yards out. His kick is up, it's long enough, but it's no good! Wide right!"

the sickest losing team in the NFL. Nobody hates them except for those wankers in New York City and Boston. Fuck them! they've never won a superbowl, but they made the Superbowl 4 times in a row. The fans still love em cuz they try their hearts out every year. they always fall one game short of the playoffs, or one field goal short of Superbowl championships, one kick return TD of...

An NFL team that must delight in torturing their fans with near playoff caliber teams. Known for prodigious amounts of talent, but with either a weak link or dream-shattering crises of confidence.
The Buffalo Bills would be great if Trent Edwards could show a little more heart, or if Turk Schonert could call a game worth a damn.

Finger-banging a girl with buffalo wing sauce still under your fingernails.
We had a lovely evening. I took her out to Buffalo Wild Wings, karaoke, then we retired. When things started getting 'hot', so did her vagina--because the wing sauce under my fingernails got rubbed on/into it. I 'Buffalo Billed' her.
