As an application of the new model for pooling designs proposed by the last two authors in Guo and Wang (J Combin Theory Ser A 118:2056–2058, 2011), we construct a family of pooling designs based on the \(t\) -cliques of various sizes of the Johnson graph \(J(n,t)\) . Its performance as a pooling design is better than that given in Bai et al. (Discrete Appl Math 157:3038–3045, 2009).

LONDON (ICIS)--The UK's chemical and pharmaceutical industry has reported a fall in sales over the previous six months, industry body Chemical Industries Association (CIA) said on Thursday.
In its latest survey of member companies, the CIA found 44% of companies in the UK chemical and pharmaceutical sector had seen lower sales volumes, and only 22% an increase.
"Looking ahead, on balance companies saw rising sales – albeit by a smaller margin than in the previous survey three months ago. The proportion expecting volumes to increase has fallen from 46% to 39%," the trade body added.
The CIA's chief executive, Steve Elliott, said: "It is clear we continue to operate in difficult times. The one encouraging piece of news is that 70% of companies expect employment numbers to increase or remain the same".

A Dubai court convicted two men Monday for their role in the assassination of a former Chechen warlord last year and sentenced each to 25 years in prison.
The two men, an Iranian and a Tajik, were each handed life sentences after being found guilty of aiding and abetting the assassination of Sulim Yamadayev. A life term is limited to 25 years under local law. The men will be deported after serving their sentences.
State news agency WAM identified the Iranian defendant as Mahdi Tagi Dhurnia and the Tajik national as Mahsoudjan Asmanov.
Four other suspects are believed to have fled the United Arab Emirates.
The Chechen's killing in a beachfront parking lot in March 2009 stunned Dubai authorities as the first major political assassination in the Gulf city-state. It came just months after another contract killing, of Lebanese pop star Suzanne Tamim, in a luxury high-rise apartment in the emirate.
Both those high-profile killings have since been eclipsed by the slaying of Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh by a hit squad in January. That case, involving multiple suspects carrying fraudulent passports widely suspected of ties to Israel's Mossad secret service, has strengthened Dubai's image as a city of international intrigue.
Nonetheless, local officials have been eager to portray the emirate - long a favourite haven for exiled leaders and others unwelcome at home - as a safe and secure city, where crime is low compared to much of the West.
Yamadayev was a former Chechen warlord who switched sides in the conflicts between Chechen rebels and the Russian government. He later fell out of favour with Chechnya's Kremlin-allied president Ramzan Kadyrov and left the country, making his way to Dubai, where he lived under a different name.
He was gunned down March 28 last year in an audacious daytime slaying. Dubai police say four other suspects were also involved, including Adam Delimkhanov, a Russian parliament deputy and close ally of Kadyrov. Mr. Delimkhanov has denied the allegations.
According to court documents, the Iranian defendant was accused of passing a gun to the alleged shooter, while the Tajik defendant provided information to the assassins and later helped two of them flee the country.
Both defendants pleaded not guilty to the murder-related charges at their arraignment in August.
Defence lawyers for the two men claimed in court that police failed to produce strong enough evidence against their clients and mishandled the investigation by not thoroughly questioning Yamadayev's bodyguards and others in his entourage.

Needs Assessment and Description
Fertility preservation in the male is routinely performed
by cryopreservation of sperm. However, prepubertal or
azoospermic patients do not have this option. In recent
years many scientific breakthroughs were achieved, creating
novel options for male fertility preservation based primarily
on the existence of spermatogonial stem cells. Testicular
stem cells can be cryopreserved from birth onward, and
strategies to create sperm by transplantation of the stem
cell back to the testis, auto- or xenografting, or in vitro
spermatogenesis may provide exciting novel clinical
treatment options. Many centers have therefore started
to create banks of cryopreserved immature testis tissue.
This translational symposium deals with several relevant
aspects of the introduction of intracytoplasmic sperm
injection (ICSI) on fertility preservation in male patients,
causes of infertility in oncological patients or men with
Klinefelter syndrome, and the role of genetic or epigenetic
patterns in germ cells. Preclinical perspectives for male
fertility preservation will be presented. In addition to
reproductive scientists, the symposium is highly relevant
for a wide range of clinicians who are needed to perform
these procedures in a clinical setting, including (pediatric)
endocrinologists and oncologists, urologists, andrologists,
and other assisted reproductive technology (ART)
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be
able to:
ACGME Competency
Medical Knowledge
Future treatment for fertility preservation in prepubertal
boys undergoing oncological treatment may be performed
a. Combined treatment with LH and FSH to induce
stimulation of spermatogenesis after cancer therapy.
b. Bioptic retrieval and cryopreservation of immature
testicular tissue and subsequent generation of sperm
from cryopreserved stem cells by transplantation,
grafting, or in vitro culture.
c. Suppression of spermatogonial stem cell turnover
via down-regulation of the gonadotropic hormones
through treatment with GnRH antagonists.
d. Cryopreservation of sperm obtained by

Technology-aided Integrated Security Scheme (ISS) conceived for Tiruchi junction to reinforce security and surveillance is getting closer to fruition with the supply of first batch of gadgets to the Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel.
A couple of luggage scanners, a parcel scanner, bomb suit and a bomb suppression blanket constitute the paraphernalia provided under the ISS, which aims at putting in place a comprehensive security mechanism for effective monitoring.
Tiruchi is one among the major railway stations across the country identified for implementation of the hi-tech ISS, which was conceived in the aftermath of the terror attacks in Mumbai in 2008.
The idea was to avert such ghastly incidents by fortifying security and surveillance in stations utilising technology and advanced security gadgets.
Accordingly, a sum of Rs. 4 crore was sanctioned exclusively to Tiruchi Junction for bringing it under the scope of the ISS with the key components under this mechanism being Closed Circuit Television System, Access Control measures, Baggage Screening, and Bomb Detection and Disposal system.
A couple of automatic vehicle scanners are the next items in the pipeline for Tiruchi Junction under the ISS which would enable RPF personnel to scan underside of vehicles of all sizes and detect foreign objects. The scanners would provide high resolution images of the underside of the vehicles.
RPF officials say it was only a matter of time before the cameras would be in place, as the Research Design and Standards Organisation has already given its approval for the equipment.
A total number of 23 dome cameras and 35 fixed cameras have been approved for Tiruchi Junction, under the ISS, to cover all the seven platforms.
Cable works as a precursor to the installation of the surveillance cameras have already been completed at the station. From a master control room, the movements on platforms and circulating areas would be monitored.
The points for installation of cameras have already been identified. All cameras would be linked to the seven monitors that are to be installed inside the air-conditioned master control room identified near the VIP entry side.
Six RPF personnel in three shifts would be deployed at the master control room to watch the movements round-the-clock. RPF officials expect the cameras to be in place before May.
The advanced gadgets would facilitate the RPF in better monitoring, say officials.
Chennai Central, Chennai Egmore, Coimbatore, Madurai, Ernakulam and Thiruvananthapuram are the other stations in Southern Railway zone to come under the scope of the ISS.

Cuba eyes semi-pro league to reinvigorate boxing
Thursday - 3/21/2013, 3:23pm EDT
AP Sports Writer
HAVANA (AP) -- Protective headgear has been the rule of the ring for more than 50 years in Cuba, which banned professional boxing shortly after the 1959 revolution.
Back then, pro boxing was deemed corrupting and exploitative, and the big purses not in line with socialist egalitarian ideals. Now the island is on verge of relaxing the monopoly of amateur boxing by joining a semi-pro league in which athletes are paid by sponsors and fight pro-style bouts, but still retain the Olympic eligibility that's all-important to Cuban sports authorities. Boxers also would fight without the headgear they have grown accustomed to.
While officials caution that no decision has been made yet, it could offer island boxers a chance to earn more money, gain more exposure in high-profile competitions and help staunch the flow of defections that has robbed Olympic delegations of some of Cuba's brightest talent and resulted in disappointing medal counts in recent years.
"It motivates me. It's something new. It's a challenge," world amateur featherweight champion Lazaro Alvarez told The Associated Press at a local tournament in an Old Havana gym. "I would really love to take part to be able to show the world what I am, what Cuban boxing is really all about."
The World Series of Boxing was launched in 2010 by the International Boxing Association and consists of a dozen teams in two divisions.
During four months of league play that begins each fall, semi-pro franchises such as the Algeria Desert Hawks and the USA Knockouts face off in home and away matches, with a post-season playoff in the spring. Some teams are backed by national boxing federations, while others receive at least partial private sponsorship: the Dolce & Gabbana Italia Thunder team, for instance.
Fighters earn $1,000 to $3,000 a month plus bonuses ranging from $500 to $2,000. Bouts are five rounds, unlike three in amateur, with a point system similar to the pros.
That would mean a big raise for Cuban fighters, the most successful of whom collect lifetime stipends of $100-$300 a month after winning Olympic or world medals. Others presumably earn an amount closer to the national average salary of around $20 per month.
In January, World Boxing Association president C.K. Wu visited Cuba for talks with local authorities and announced that they were seriously considering their own franchise.
"We have all the elements so that those who must make a decision have the pros and cons," said Alberto Puig, president of the Cuban Boxing Federation.
Juan Hernandez, a 44-year-old four-time world amateur welterweight champion who now works as a trainer, was optimistic that the island will join the league and breathe life into the sport.
"Cuba seems to be close to taking part in the World Series," Hernandez said. "I would have liked to participate in a tournament like that, of course. It's a great challenge and opportunity for the boxers of today."
If Cubans live for baseball above all other sports, boxing probably ranks second. The first bout took place in 1912 and the annals of Cuban greats include the likes of Kid Chocolate and Kid Gavilan, both winners of professional titles, plus other colorful names like "Lightning" Saguero, "Butter" Jose Legra, the Las Tunas Kid and "Puppy" Garcia.
But in 1961, two years after the Cuban Revolution, all professional sports were banned and the very concept has been anathema to the island government's Marxist ideals ever since.
"In our eyes, sport is not just another instrument of the market ... nor of profit for promoters, agents and all manner of parasites that feed off the athlete's hard work," Fidel Castro said as recently as 2005.
Cuba nonetheless devotes a considerable amount of its scant resources to developing amateur talent and has punched above its weight at international competitions, scoring relatively high in the medal tables for a nation of around 11 million people.
Former pugilists Felix Savon and the late Teofilo Stevenson are among the three boxers in history to win gold medals at three Olympic Games, and Cuba took seven gold medals out of 11 possible at Barcelona in 1992.
Yet low wages, decaying facilities and the lack of opportunities for athletes to test themselves against the best fighters on the professional circuit have all contributed to a long, slow decline and costly defections.
After Olympic champions Odlanier Solis, Yurioski Gamboa and Yann Barthelemy walked away from training in Venezuela in 2006, the Cuban boxing delegation was left short-gloved two years later in Beijing and went home without a single gold for the first time in 36 years.

Venice, Italy
My Rating
Awesome. We were lucky enough to have the singer and musician in our gondola which made it really special - however this was not the case for the Reston the gondolas in our flotilla. So cool to be guided through the tiny canals and under little bridges between the old buildings of Venice. Meal was ok but the instructions on how to get to the restaurant were not good.
Florence, Italy
My Rating
Good, interesting. The advantage of booking this tour is that your transport from Florence is provided. You get some free time at the end to look around and take photos at your leisure. If you want to actually go up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, this is NOT PART OF THIS TRIP. You just get to look from the outside.
Rome, Italy
My Rating
Good if you are into history - the benefit of doing this tour is that you avoid very long queues - particularly in the high season. Make sure you take a hat because the Roman Forum part of the tour is all outside with no real refuge for the sun. Knowledgable guide.
Rome, Italy
My Rating
This tour was so much fun - a definite must do for anyone who can ride a bike. The mikes provided are well sprung with a nice comfy seat - a must on all those cobble stone streets! Our guide was knowledgable and interesting to listen to. He moved at our pace giving us plenty of breaks from the heat. There is really only one hill to conquer and the bikes are so well geared they make it easy. Definitely do this if you get a chance
Paris, France
My Rating
This was a great way to see the Mona Lisa without having to wait in long lines. The guide was interesting and knowledgable about many items in the museum. At the end of the tour you are free to leave or stay and enjoy the Louvre at your leisure.

New winery caters to local palates, open spaces
Bons estimates that the winery can become profitable in about five years. Until then, "sweat equity" from family labor and sales of garden crops will keep the operation going.
From flowers to grapes
Bons said he used to raise flowers, but phased those out in favor of other garden crops because of low-cost imports. A few years ago, he and Kappeler, whose families equally split ownership of the winery venture, planted grapevines on part of their respective properties, and planned on selling the grapes to another winery.
As the grape-growing venture progressed, the deal fell through. Now with several acres of grapevines on hand, the partners had to make another plan.
"We decided to have a vertically integrated operation," Kappeler said. "We did not want to be dependent on somebody else."
In other words, Twin Oaks Valley Winery would do everything on site, from planting the vines to crushing the grapes, aging the wine and bottling it.
"It's almost like an insurance policy," Kappeler said. "You're not at the mercy of price swings of the raw product."
So they converted part of their buildings from other agricultural purposes to winemaking. They bought secondhand winemaking equipment for a fraction of the $300,000 it would have cost new.
Bons said their move into winemaking was largely self-taught, building on the agricultural knowledge they already had and supplementing it with classes at UC Davis, renowned for its viticultural expertise.
More troublesome, Kappeler and Bons said, was "the bureaucratic red tape," from the city of San Marcos and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms that goes into opening a winery.
Some of that is understandable, they conceded, because there is quite a bit of difference between growing crops and making an alcoholic beverage.
Small and spread out
Compared with the vast vineyards of Napa and Sonoma, or even Temecula, San Diego County's wine industry is tiny. For example, the Temecula region has about 2,500 acres of vineyards under cultivation, compared with fewer than 300 acres in San Diego County.
By number of wineries, the comparison with Temecula isn't quite so lopsided. The Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association lists 18 winery members, along with a few nonmember wineries.
The San Diego County Vintners Association lists 10 winery members, including Twin Oaks Valley Winery. Add to that at least six wineries not listed, including Orfila Vineyards in San Pasqual, and the numerical disparity is not so great.
But while the average small Temecula winery is not so different in size than San Diego's mini-wineries, there is a big geographical difference. Most of Temecula's wineries are located east of the city limits along Rancho California Road. That is ideal for making a designated Wine Country that tourists can easily drive through.
San Diego County's wineries are spread out among several different cities. The nearest wineries to Twin Oaks Valley are in Escondido, such as Belle Marie Winery and Ferrara Winery. There is another winery cluster in Ramona, a few in Julian, two in Fallbrook, and isolated wineries in Rancho Bernardo, Warner Springs and other locations.

Court set to hear appeal by DC sniper mastermind
RICHMOND, Va. Before John Allen Muhammad went to trial for orchestrating the deadly sniper rampage that terrorized the Washington, D.C., region, he claimed he was a prophet and that his teenage accomplice had concocted an herbal AIDS cure, his lawyers say.
Despite such grandiose statements and evidence that Muhammad's brain was damaged by childhood beatings, his trial counsel failed to stop Muhammad from acting as his own attorney for part of his capital murder trial, his new legal team has argued in briefs filed with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
On Tuesday, the appeals court is scheduled to hear those argument in Muhammad's bid to overturn his conviction and death sentence or return the case to the trial court for whatever further proceedings the appellate judges might deem appropriate.
Muhammad made his own opening statement and cross-examined witnesses for the first two days of his 2003 trial before turning the case back over to his court-appointed attorneys. His new lawyers claim on appeal that the failure to prevent him from representing himself violated his constitutional right to an effective defense.
A jury in Virginia Beach sentenced Muhammad to death for the Oct. 9, 2002, murder of Dean Meyers in Prince William County. In all, the shooting spree by Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo left 10 dead and a half-dozen wounded in four states and the District of Columbia.
Along with the ineffective defense claim, a three-judge panel of the appeals court will consider two other issues raised by Muhammad: that the prosecution withheld crucial evidence and that the trial judge erred in refusing to allow the jury to hear expert testimony about Muhammad's brutal childhood.
Muhammad's lawyers describe him in court papers as "an inarticulate high school graduate with no college experience or knowledge of the law." They say an MRI of his brain showed abnormalities and two experts said he likely was schizophrenic.
But the attorney general's office says in its brief that Muhammad was lucid and coherent in answering the trial judge's questions, and his own attorneys "found him very bright and knowledgeable about the case based on many months of interaction."
Muhammad also claims prosecutors withheld thousands of pages of documents that could have helped his defense, including an FBI profile developed before the arrests suggesting a lone sniper was responsible. According to Muhammad, that document contradicted an expert's testimony that snipers operate in teams – a shooter and a spotter.
State attorneys say the profile was just "law-enforcement's best guess about the type of at-large murderer who was randomly killing citizens along I-95," and noted that Muhammad's attorneys omitted this key sentence from the report: "If there is a second offender, he is not likely to be an equal partner in these crimes, and would be subservient to the primary offender."
Prosecutors argued in Muhammad's trial that he directed the killings and therefore was as culpable as the obedient Malvo, who carried out the shootings with a high-powered rifle from the trunk of a Chevrolet Caprice that had been converted into a sniper's nest.

I'm no expert, but I don't think this is unusual. After all, barn swallows can be aggressive towards each other- male barn swallows that have not mated will sometimes break the eggs in other barn swallow nests. Or perhaps this one is a juvenile, and is to young to nest this year?

Submitted: 09-03-2014 by ted28285
This was my first kayak, I've owned it about ten years now. It has been discontinued from Old Towns line. I have only used on flat water and find it quite fast and easy to maneuver. This one came equipped with a rudder which really aids tracking in high wind conditions. It has fore and aft dry compartments, deck bungees, and a small console pocket. The cockpit opening is a bit hard for me to exit with bad knees. The boat seems quite stable.
Since this purchase I have obtained several other 12' boats but this one remains the favorite.

If someone experiences Trust and Consciousness in the heart of the embrace,
they become a child of light.
If Someone does not receive these,
it is because they remain attached to what they know;
when they cease to be attached, they will be able to receive them.
Whoever receives this light in nakedness will no longer be recognizable;
none will be able to grasp them, none will be able to make them sad or miserable,
whether they are in this world, or have left it.
They already know the truth in images.
For them, this world has become another world,
and this Temple space [Aeon] is fullness [pleroma],
They are who they are. They are one.
Neither shadow nor night can hide them.

Throughout December, we had a Wish List in the library and posted online.
We got many donations for childrens' books and movies, and a couple of audio books. We truly appreciate the generosity of all the people who are helping us to add to our collection.
I want everyone to know that we were totally blown away by a lovely letter stating that dreams do come true and enclosing a check for $250 to help us replace the storm door at our handicap entrance.

Man driving on 2 flat tires arrested for DWI, Corpus Christi police report
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving drunk Monday night after an officer heard his car driving past because he had two flat tires.
An officer walking back to his police car about 11 p.m. after a traffic stop in the 2000 block of Airline Road heard a loud clunking noise zoom past.
He spotted a truck driving with two flat tires and pulled it over, police said.
The driver appeared to be intoxicated and was given a field sobriety test and a blood draw warrant was obtained. The man was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. During impound officers found a pipe in the truck with marijuana residue in it, police said. He was being held Tuesday on $1,000 bail.

Cowboys, wrote Western historian Ramon Adams, would go to hell for a piece of pie. In the culinary wilderness that was nineteenth-century Texas, anything sweeter than molasses or prunes was just pie in the sky. Sugar was such a luxury that early Texans never dreamed of wasting it in their coffee or corn bread. Even rarer were eggs and milk, so Texans never cared much for cake.
Maybe that early deprivation accounts for modern Texans' wantonness. They'll try anything to satisfy a sweet tooth, especially anything with a regional flavor: candied grapefruit peel, watermelon-rind pickles, pinto-bean spice cake, and prickly-pear, agarita, or mayhaw jelly. Rural cooks are especially fond of sweet congealed salads (gelatin is, after all, a beef by-product). They have added pecans, guacamole, Ruby Reds, or green chiles and tomatoes to Jell-O. Even Helen Corbitt, Neiman Marcus' culinary tastemaker in the fifties and sixties, was not above attempting avocado sherbet ("The curdled look," she assured readers, "will disappear in freezing").
Despite such regional excesses, Texas' favorite desserts remain the classics: simple, substantial, sweet. The top twelve listed here owe a lot to native fruits and nuts, or immigrant know-how. Some are traditional and some new, for today Texas' sweet legacy extends beyond the range to the fridge, from fruit fresh off the vine to frozen confections like guajillo-honey ice cream. Which means any good Texan can now eat his pie Alamode.
Buy It
The favored finale to a Tex-Mex meal, the ubiquitous praline is neither Tex nor Mex. The sugary counterpoint to salsas and enchiladas originated in France in the seventeenth century; it was named for a high-ranking soldier under Louis XIV. Except for spelling, it arrived in Texas intact. The history of the praline is severely under-documented: did it drift westward from the French stronghold of New Orleans or mosey over from the court of Maximilian, the ill-fated emperor of Mexico? Regardless, today the praline boasts as many recipes as pronunciations, but invariably it combines nuts, sugar, cream or butter, milk, and vanilla.
Pink Things
The very name transports you instantly to Six Flags — perhaps a childhood birthday party or a graduation fling. Properly termed a "Buried Treasure," because a cartoon character is depicted on the hidden end of the stick, the cherry-flavored ice-cream novelty is popularly called a Pink Thing. The tornado-shaped Pink Thing blew into Arlington in 1961, the year Six Flags opened. Back then, it cost 25 cents. Now one sets you back $1, and the manufacturer, Blue Bell Creameries, sells 400,000 every year. The Pink Thing is as essential to Six Flags as the Shock Wave or the Log Flume, and it is available nowhere outside the Metroplex. Like the whooping crane and the pronghorn, its limited habitat creates its allure.
Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream and Hill Country Peaches
LBJ adored Hill Country peaches. He served peach melba to the president of Pakistan and peach ice cream to the president of Mexico. The ice cream was Lady Bird's — homemade and hand-cranked — and almost as good as Blue Bell's. In 1911 the company sold two gallons of vanilla a day; today Blue Bell is a Texas synonym for ice cream and annually sells 10 million half-gallon tubs of Homemade Vanilla along.
Kid Stuff
"Worth crowing about!" clucks a cowboy-hatted hen on the wrapper. A long, dirty-yellow tube of peanut butter, sugar, and toasted coconut, it has been made since 1954 by Atkinson Candy of Lufkin, which also produces such gems as the pink-and-white-striped Rainbow Coconut ("luscious coconut taste thrill"). Chick-O-Stick — at least three times the age of its average consumer — was modeled after two rival candy novelties, Chicken Bone and Turkey Leg, both of which are now defunct. Perhaps by virtue of its less hideous nam, Chick-O-Stick remains Atkinson's best-selling sweet. Grown-ups prefer the number two confection, the "smackin' good" Peanut Butter Bar.
The brilliantly colored Mexican snow cones, whose vendors line Alamo Plaza, sell year-round in sultry San Antonio. Flavored syrups like coconut (blue, for some reason), grape, and lime turn shaved ice in a paper cone into the perfect summertime street food. Luridly red or alarmingly purple lips identify recent indulgers. So popular and so lucrative are raspas (the name comes from the Spanish verb raspar, "to scrape") that two wrangling vendedores nearly came to blows a few years back over who was entitled to what patch of turf. Fortunately, the city council intervened and put the dispute on ice.
Dr Pepper With Peanuts
The nation's third-best-selling soft drink, born 103 years ago in Waco, has been added to Jell-O, ham sauce, and dips. It has even been served hot. But the most popular Dr Pepper combo is one every elementary school kid in the fifties knew. A devotee bought a cold Dr Pepper (which was sold only in bottles then), poured in a nickel bag of peanuts, drank the salty soda, then crunched the soaked nuts. Flirting with death by asphyxiation was part of the thrill.
Goodart's Peanut Pattie
It consistently appears on a regional Top 25 list of candy bars, according to a national candy-industry survey. The familiar nut-studded magenta patty, a Lubbock native, is going on forty years old. It was created by Raymond O. Goodart, a young soldier home from World War II and looking for a job. He perfected the recipe in his mother's kitchen. Goodart died in 1986, but his Peanut Pattie is going strong, from California to Florida and all points in between. True addicts buy the lethal Texas-shaped two pounder.
Bake It
Tunnel Of Fudge Cake
It won Houstonian Ella Helfrich $5,000 at the 1966 Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest and has since become a bake-sale staple nationwide. Followed faithfully, the exacting recipe produces a rich, pecan-riddled cake with a puddinglike center. It also started a craze for fluted Bundt pans. The original recipe called for a full box of a certain Pillsbury chocolate frosting mix; when the company discontinued that particular product, it was swamped with letters from annoyed customers protesting the threat to their favorite dessert.

A visit to El Museo del Prado art in Madrid
The El Museo del Prado

Sites and Links of The El Museo del Prado
The El Museo del Prado
is the main Spanish national art museum, located in central Madrid. It features one of the world's finest collections of European art, from the 12th century to the early 19th century, based on the former Spanish Royal Collection, and unquestionably the best single collection of Spanish art. Founded as a museum of paintings and sculpture, it also contains important collections of other types of works. A new, recently opened wing enlarged the display area by about 400 paintings, and it is currently used mainly for temporary expositions. El Prado is one of the most visited sites in the world, and it is considered to be among the greatest museums of art. The large numbers of works by Velázquez and Francisco de Goya, Titian, Rubens and Bosch are among the highlights of the collection. The collection currently comprises around 7,600 paintings, 1,000 sculptures, 4,800 prints and 8,200 drawings, in addition to a large number of other works of art and historic documents. By 2012 the Museum will be displaying about 1300 works in the main buildings, while around 3,100 works are on temporary loan to various museums and official institutions. The remainder are in storage.

The inside and outside door handles are prone to breaking.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) front wheel speed sensors are prone to failure. When a sensor fails, the ABS warning light may illuminate and/or the ABS system may activate erratically.
The power door lock actuators may become slow to operate or stop working completely and require replacement.

The vehicle makes a high pitch whine when braking to a stop. Once stopped it feels like the brakes are stuck and the check engine light flashes on. It will go away if the brake pedal is pumped.

1999 GMC Suburban 1500 Reviews
typical gm quality, the doorhandles break, heater work when it wants to and has no safety features for children other than front control door locks. front end goes out and breaks dont hold up. the motor on other hand has 160,000 and runs like new. be nice to get out of a big rig without rolling window down in winter.
Basically a safe vehicle but typical GM poor quality; door handle fell off, plastic interior parts broke easily, A/C compressor went out at 52,000 mi., door light spring switch fell off, right turn signal doesn't cancel, daytime running lamps no longer operational AND most importantly the BRAKE SYSTEM ANTILOCK SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. Next time, go to Honda or Toyota
I haven't had any problems with the truck as a second vehicle I had over 190,000 miles on it when I got it. It fits the old family and it keeps them quiet with the tv and sound system in the back.

" When I pray I talk to G-d, but when I study G-d speaks to me. "
- Rabbi Louis Finkelstein
The word CoLeL, an acronym for Community of Life-Long Learners, is pronounced like the word (Kollel), which means a "collection" or a "gathering" and refers to a group of people who come together to study. Many who study in Kollel make it their full time job. Others find a fixed time to sit and learn on a regular basis. But whether one attends everyday or less frequently, the motivation is the same: to be a life long learner.
At Beth El's CoLeL we recognize that the task of Jewish Learning is never over, and the rewards of Jewish study are sweeter when we are more mature in out approach. It's never too late, nor too early to broaden the scope of our Jewish knowledge.
At Beth El's CoLeL we offer something for everyone. We offer serious, fun and provocative opportunities with flexible time schedules. If you are a budding chef you might try our series - Cooking with Chef Louis. If deeper Jewish learning is what you crave, then one of Rabbi Krupnick's Jewish Text Series is your pick. Our staff includes our esteemed Rabbis, Hazzan and Educational Directors. In addition, to our clergy and staff, we have numerous guest speakers at our Tuesday Lecture Series and one time events throughout the year.

Customizable Neon Signs
Written by Katie on January 30, 2014. Permalink
What to do when your name falls from the top spot on your friends' 'effing-coolest-person-I-know' list? Here's what: don't fret. Take off whatever 'on trend' accessory you're wearing, and put down that bottle of bourbon. You don't need to order the Digital Edition of Tracey Emin's I Listen To The Ocean And All I Hear Is You to placate your loneliness, though you can if you want. Or, simply order a custom neon sign with an appropriately meta phrase and then sit back and reflect on the journey thus far. Those finicky friends will come knocking once the glow of the light filters through the windows as they walk past, and they'll know that you know what's up.

In 2010, Rob Swift released his album "The Architect," and for the follow-up "Sketches of The Architect" EP he revisited some of the uncompleted songs from those sessions. Both "The Architect" and "Sketches of The Architect" were inspired by Swift's recent immersion into classical music. This new fascination influenced his complex, turntable and MPC-based music in unpredictable ways.

Register today for this free VB Insight webinar with AEG's VP of Social and Marketing on May 28th. Verizon is selling its version of the iPhone 5 unlocked. It's no mistake: The company plans to keep it that way, according to a Verizon spokesperson who spoke to the AP. That means, if you buy an iPhone 5 from Verizon, you'll be able to use it on many competing GSM networks around the world — and in the U.S., you could use it on AT&T and T-Mobile. Verizon is betting that customer loyalty will come from other places: For instance, the Verizon iPhone 5's high speed LTE data connectivity will only work on Verizon's network, not other carriers'. Also, the carrier allows you to use Apple's FaceTime app on its data network (AT&T doesn't), and its LTE network covers 75 percent of the country. Finally, Verizon still demands a two-year contract to buy the iPhone 5 at the subsidized price, as most carriers do. So it's probably a safe bet that most new iPhone customers won't be going anywhere. Still, it's a nice boon if you're going abroad or want the flexibility to use another carrier.

Awesome quality. Love love love
These save the dates turned out even better than I could have expected. The picture was very clearly printed and the card holder was great quality. Very easy to assemble, not cheap thin paper!
Great Holder
The Carrier for the magnets is awesome because it enhances the magnets. Also you can add extra detail to the card itself.
Romanic Ruche Carrier Cards
Great compliment to the magnets we ordered. We kept the suggested details (date behind the magnet, hotel info on back). Easy 'assembly' of magnets and cards, too. It's a really nice touch to complete the Save the Date look.
Classy Looking Card
The card was perfect, it was great for sharing extra text that wouldn't fit on my magnet!
Beautiful design
Loved the card and design!!..I just wish the magnet was not so hard to fit into the sleeves of the card.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Like its most obvious antecedent, Terry Zwigoff's Crumb, D&DJ is as much a family portrait as an artist's profile. A "Christian fundamentalist Glass family," in the words of one friend, the Johnstons of West Virginia fretted over young Daniel's stubborn eccentricities and monomaniacal devotion to music and drawing. Always with one eye on his legacy, Johnston constantly kept his tape recorder or camera running, and thus D&DJ has some kinship with Capturing the Friedmans and Tarnation as a compendium of compulsive self-documentation. He may well have missed his vocation as an actor-directorin the Super-8 juvenilia It Must Be Monday, Johnston plays both himself and, with the aid of a wig and a rolling pin, his hectoring mother, Mabel, who's good-natured enough to provide commentary on the footage.
During a brief stint at art school, Johnston met Laurie Allen, the Beatrice in his Vita Nuova of unrequited-love songs; his muse decreed, his stardom awaiting, Johnston ran away and joined the circus, landing in Austin at the exact moment its music scene blew uproll tape of the boyish McDonald's employee hustling MTV with one of his homemade cassettes, Hi, How Are You, in which Johnston's primitive chord-organ musicianship and cracked, bleating voice belie his knack for pure pop melody and surreally plangent lyrics. As his scenester following grows and the dark, violent side of his autistic-savant persona becomes frighteningly evident, D&DJ testifies to the selfless heroism of his manager, Jeff Tartakov, and of Mabel and Bill, Johnston's now elderly parents and caretakers.
"I am the ghost of Daniel Johnston," the 1985-era Johnston declares in D&DJ's opening moments, and this phantom haunts the entire movie. Graying and obese in his heavily medicated middle age, the current Johnston bears little resemblance to his Hi, How Are You incarnation, and he's a nearly silent subject, the film circling respectfully around him. Feuerzeig sometimes re-enacts signature incidents of the biography using a handheld camera that stands in as Johnston's point of view, underlining the eerie intuitions of an absent presence.
Johnston's outbursts and breakdowns subverted his success, caused his loved ones untold anguish, and, of course, bolstered his legend. The documentary holds no illusions about insanity as a career move; there's a whiff of the freak show in Johnston's latter-day concerts but never in Feuerzeig's approach. The Devil and Daniel Johnston could have closed on a triumphant noteJohnston onstage, fascinating his publicbut the film's candid, clear-eyed humanism can be gleaned by who in the story gets the last word.

The Pheasant
'A 500-year-old Lake District favourite combining the role of traditional Cumbrian hostelry with a modern hotel,' says Jackie. 'Dinner in the restaurant might be loin of wild Cumbrian venison with a creamy pearl barley, jellied balsamic, beetroot and peanut butter, or poached breast of wood pigeon with apricot chutney, watercress, cumin jus and natural yoghurt.'
