Travel Options in Colombia for People with Special Diets
Colombia World Tours Announces Special Meal Plan Options for Celiacs (Gluten-Intolerant), Vegans, Vegetarians, and People with Food Allergies. CEO, Dr. Vivian Kulaga, Makes it a Personal Mission to Offer Special Meal Plan Options on her Company's Adventure Ecotour Vacation Packages in Colombia, South America.
Colombia (PRWEB) October 07, 2011
Young Canadian scientist-turned-entrepreneur, Dr. Vivian Kulaga, CEO of Colombian tour operator company, Colombia World Tours, is putting a long-awaited dream of celiacs, vegans, vegetarians, and people with food allergies, literally on the map and she's doing it in Colombia, South America. Colombia World Tours is announcing the addition of gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and personally-tailored, allergen-free meal plan options, available on Colombia World Tours' Adventure Eco-tours.
Dr. Kulaga, or âœallergic girl,â as she calls herself, has taken her struggle of living and traveling with extensive food allergies and combined it with her love of travel to make âœlemons into eco-tourism,â as Dr. Kulaga puts it.
âœI know how frustrating traveling to a foreign destination with special dietary needs can be. Trying to explain to a well-intentioned waiter – in a foreign language – that even a 'little bit' can be harmful is like trying to convince my 83-year-old Polish grandmother that her favorite sausages are actually not dairy-free,â says Vivian.
Typical vacation packages are not geared to travelers with special diets. People with allergies, intolerances, or non-mainstream diets need to maintain constant vigilance when traveling. They often worry about how to plan their next meal or about what they are going to be served in the next restaurant. Vivian, suffering from a multitude of food allergies and intolerances (dairy and soy to include a few), has made it her personal mission to make life easier for those struggling with a similar situation by giving them a break on one of her company's all-inclusive adventure ecotours.
Apart from providing adventure ecotours across the country:
âœColombia World Tours offers a vacation from cooking, reading food labels, and from having to constantly explain your diet – you can just relax and have fun,â explains Vivian.
The company ensures the quality of their special meal plans by working closely with a handful of trusted restaurants, and by hiring private cooks/chefs and facilities to personally prepare the special meals where needed. This is often necessary as the tours typically travel from destination to destination every couple of days.
Colombia World Tours' trips travel across Colombia, South America's hottest up-and-coming vacation destination. The tours visit sites as diverse as hot springs, Caribbean beaches, Andean mountain glaciers, bustling cities, and quaint colonial towns. In addition, the tour groups are kept small on purpose, making it easier for the company to manage individual dietary needs and to provide a personal touch.
Colombia World Tours is a tour company passionate about travel, Colombia, the environment, and special food needs. The company is a proud supporter of eco-friendly practices, and the local communities that their tours visit.

The deadly crackdown on protesting Egyptian Copts marks a turning point in the military's post-Mubarak rule. Is this what democracy looks like?
Sunday's deadly attacks on Egypt's Coptic Christians, in which armored military vehicles killed 25 and injured hundreds by driving into crowds demonstrating against the recent arson of a church, represent a possible turning point in Egypt's rusting revolution. The military's responsibility for this bloodshed—apparently carried out while senior officers were helping broker the Israel-Hamas prisoner swap announced Tuesday—makes it harder to believe that Egypt's military leadership will promote the democratic changes that it has promised. "The military council has stated time and time again that it will not attack Egyptians," said U.S. Copts Association president Michael Meunier, who was in Egypt during the attacks. "But on Sunday, for the first time, it did. And that's a disaster."
But in Egypt, illusions rarely die quickly—especially when the government doesn't let them. And from the moment that the violence broke out on Sunday evening, Egypt's transitional government has mounted a tireless campaign to manage the public's response and keep it firmly on the government's side.
The government's propaganda effort began on Sunday evening, when, according to reports, Information Minister Osama Heikal ordered state-run media to cover the clashes "wisely." State-run television obliged, reporting that protesters were attacking soldiers and calling Egyptians into the streets to defend the military. As if on cue, thugs showed up in full force. Shouting "Islamiya! Islamiya" and "the people want the fall of the Christians," they beat protesters, looted Christian-owned shops, and even attacked a Coptic hospital where victims were being treated. Meanwhile, soldiers raided the U.S.-funded Alhurra satellite channel and the privately owned Channel 25, both of which were broadcasting the ongoing violence. (According to reports, at the Channel 25 studio the soldiers asked for employees' ID cards and then proceeded to beat those identified as Christian.) When a number of state-television producers began criticizing the government's coverage of the violence on Twitter, Heikal appeared on state television and announced that anyone who "spreads rumors" about the state-run media would be tried.
While the state-run media has been forced to walk back some its initial propaganda— such as its false claim that three soldiers had been killed during the fighting when, in fact, none had died—the transitional government has promoted a series of conspiracy theories that firmly absolve the military. The most predictable of these was uttered immediately following the violence on Sunday night, when Prime Minister Essam Sharaf addressed the nation and warned of "the external fingers that stir conspiracies." Translation from Egyptian: The United States and Israel are to blame.
Another conspiracy theory peddled by the government is that the anti-Coptic violence was entirely the work of thugs from the previous regime. Tourism Minister Mounir Fakhry Abdelnour, a Coptic billionaire who served in parliament from 2000 to 2005, repeated this line to me over the phone. What about the videos showing military vehicles running roughshod over protesters? "I saw the vehicles running into protesters," he acknowledged. "But I didn't see who was driving those cars. And it is very possible that the same attackers who shot gunfire or threw stones or threw Molotov cocktails took the cars and rode them."
In a way, the government's conspiracy-theorizing been useful because it has highlighted its alliance with Islamists, who have overwhelmingly echoed the official story. Former Muslim Brotherhood leader and presidential candidate Abdel Moneim Abouel-Fotouh—a "liberal Islamist" according to the New York Times—said that the attacks on Coptic protesters had the "foreign and Zionist aim to foment sedition in Egypt." The Muslim Brotherhood also sought to absolve the military. "We need a fact-finding committee to see who started it, and how people who dared to attack the army," Essam el-Erian, a leader in the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, told me. "The army is not in conflict with the people because the army is only guarding the high institutions, like television and others."
That's not how many Copts see things. "Our media is inciting hatred, because they said that the army needs protection," Sally Moore, a member of the Coalition of Revolutionary Youth, told me. "As if the Christians are stronger than the army, and as if it's a Muslim army—it's an Egyptian army." While Pope Shenouda, the Coptic patriarch, has called for a three-day fast and urged restraint, many Copts are demanding further action. At funerals held for those killed in Sunday's violence, worshipers called for the downfall of the transitional government.
Egypt's pro-democratic youth activists, however, are taking a more conservative approach. They fear that the government's misinformation campaign has won over the broader public—and that they will lose the battle of ideas if they push against the government too directly. "People are being influenced by this. I feel it on the streets," Shadi El-Ghazali Harb, a leading activist in the Coalition of Revolutionary Youth, told me over the phone as he stood outside of a Coptic hospital awaiting autopsy results. "There is a widespread belief that it was not the military's fault." So, in the short run, the activists seem inclined to direct their protests against Egypt's less popular transitional government, rather than denouncing the military leadership directly.
To some extent, the public outrage that the youth activists have helped channel against the transitional government is already paying off. On Tuesday, Finance Minister Hazem el-Beblawi tendered his resignation to protest the government's handling of the clashes. Though the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces ultimately rejected his resignation, it represented an important setback for the military junta, and rumors that Prime Minister Sharaf has resigned are further undermining it. Meanwhile, the transitional government has moved quickly to pass new legislation that Copts have long demanded, including laws that ban discrimination, legalize churches that were built before licensing became available in the 1900s, and ease church construction. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces still has to approve these laws, however, and many Copts remain skeptical. "If the law is issued, what's the guarantee that it will be applied practically?" asked Coptic human-rights lawyer Naguib Gobrail, who was injured in Sunday's attacks.
The deep divide in the way that the Copts and Egypt's pro-democratic activists on one hand and the broader Egyptian public on the other view Sunday's violence is potentially explosive. The rage within Egypt's Coptic community—the understandable reaction to the violence against them before and after Mubarak's toppling—will only intensify as Egypt's state-run media continues to dismiss their anger.
Some are predicting that Copts will be inclined to leave the country in the face of this state-sponsored brutality. Gobrail, the human-rights lawyer, noted sadly that two of his sons are pharmacists in Australia and Canada. Moore, however, rejects this notion out of hand. "Copts are ethnically part of this country," she said. "We're not building a new Israel somewhere else."

I'm going to probably lose my job this year. I work for a hospital and they're getting rid of the older more expensive workers and it's obvious that I'm in that number. I'm going to have to open my own practice, something I never wanted to do, but there are no jobs around here. Anyone know how this works? Is there a link I can't find?

Re: So it seems that UT3 & Crysis have'nt sold well....
Google Crysis torrent and look at the various sites hosting it + seeders + times downloaded. Crazy. Goes for most games, but that ones a biggy.
As far as UT3 goes, maybe that type of online game play is not as appealing as it once was? It seems team based warfare online games are the hot thing these days. I could be totally wrong, but that's what I'm personally drawn too. COD4 for example.
I keep holding off on UT3. One of the games I've yet to play, and I'm dying for a new MP to sweep me away, but I just dont see this as being the "one". As far as the UT3 engine itself goes, well, it certainly doesnt seem to be bad since so many games seem to be licensed on it. The engine itself, is hardly a failure. Personally I think it's pretty damn cool.
I think X-mas will give a lot of these games a boost. But what ones...

Norwich City winger Elliott Bennett is looking forward to facing former club Brighton tonight.
The 24-year-old left the Seagulls to join the Canaries in the summer of 2011 before Brighton had made the move from the Withdean to their impressive new stadium.
"Brighton will always have a special place in my heart, it's the first result I look out for along with how my brother's got on (Kyle, at Doncaster)," Bennett told Brighton's official website.
"It was really disappointing to see the lads lose to Palace in the play-offs because I really want to see the club succeed, especially for the fans who are so passionate and who treated me so well during my time here."

2011 Who's Hot & Not
Week 6
Cirminiello -
Who's Hot ... Week 6
Who's Not ...
10. Middle Tennessee The Blue Raiders' rough start was the result of a thorny non-conference schedule, right? Uh-uh. Middle Tennessee sunk a little further into Sun Belt irrelevancy with Thursday night's home loss to previously-winless Western Kentucky in double-overtime, 36-33. It continues to put up points behind the passing of Logan Kilgore, but poor play from the defense and special teams has the program quickly running aground with a 1-4 mark.
9. Fresno State (versus Boise State) The gap between these former WAC rivals has never been wider, as Friday night's 57-7 demolition in the Valley indicated. The Broncos have won six straight in this series, scoring at least 51 points in the last four games. Last week, the Bulldogs were held to just nine first downs, never competing beyond the first few minutes. Considering who's guarding the gates to a league title, Fresno State might want to rethink joining Boise State in the Mountain West next season.
8. Minnesota Could the situation get any worse at Minnesota these days? Now 1-5, with losses to New Mexico State and North Dakota State, the Golden Gophers have been utterly swamped in consecutive weeks by Michigan and Purdue. Sure, little was expected from Minny in head coach Jerry Kill's first year, but by losing to a dreadful Boilermakers squad by four touchdowns, it might only be spared the Big Ten basement by equally inept Indiana.
7. Connecticut Head Coach Paul Pasqualoni The beginning of Pasqualoni's tenure in Storrs is starting to look an awful lot like the end of his stay at Syracuse. The coach, who inherited the Big East champions from Randy Edsall, is now 1-4 against FBS teams in 2011, with the long win coming over Buffalo. A week after getting embarrassed by Western Michigan at home, the 2-4 Huskies ran out of steam in Morgantown in a 43-16 loss to West Virginia.
6. Navy After close calls against South Carolina and Air Force, the Midshipmen suffered a total collapse versus Southern Miss, 63-25, for their third consecutive loss. Navy was battered for 584 yards and eight offensive touchdowns by a Golden Eagles offense that was without two of its best rushers. Testament to just how bad the Mids' defense has regressed, USM RB Jeremy Hester ran for 118 yards and a score on 19 carries in the first significant action of his college career.
5. East Carolina QB Dominique Davis This decline was hard to see coming, especially after Davis threw for 37 touchdown passes and almost 4,000 yards in his Pirates debut in 2010. He's done an about-face this fall, throwing more interceptions than touchdown passes. In Saturday's 56-3 loss to Houston, the all-star got benched midway through the rout after throwing three interceptions, and helping fuel the rout.
4. Northwestern Has Mike Sherman suddenly left College Station for Evanston? The Wildcats have displayed an obvious lack of a killer instinct during their three-game losing streak, blowing leads in each of the last two weekends. Two weeks ago, Northwestern failed to hold on to a 28-10 lead against rival Illinois. And this past Saturday night, Michigan battled back from a 24-14 halftime hole to score the final four touchdowns of the game.
3. Florida's Run Defense Sure, the Gators were hamstrung the last two weekends, but QB John Brantley's injury should have no bearing on the defense's ability to stop the run. In back-to-back blowout losses to Alabama and LSU, Florida looked like a shell of the team that was beginning to raise expectations in September. In the two games combined, it allowed 464 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground, providing a blueprint for success for its second-half opponents.
2. Florida State Go ahead and feel free to label the Seminoles as the country's biggest disappointment of the first half of 2011. Okay, so there was no shame in falling to Oklahoma and Clemson in consecutive games, but Saturday's loss at Wake Forest has all but eliminated Florida State from contention in the Atlantic Division of the ACC … on Oct. 8. That's quite a turn-of-events for a program that was considered a heavy favorite to win the conference, and a fringe contender to play for a spot in the BCS National Championship Game.
1. Ohio State Yeah, Nebraska deserves plenty of credit for rallying in the second half for its biggest comeback in school history, but Saturday's game in Lincoln was as much about the Buckeyes' choke as anything else. Ohio State had no business blowing a 27-6 lead in a game it was winning handily in the third quarter. The shipwrecked program has now dropped three of its last four games, counting only Akron, Toledo and Colorado as its 2011 victims.

So, I have a war project with several dependent jars that are not available in any repository. Up until recently, I'd been keeping them in
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib, and adding them to the pom with system scope.
I get that that's problematic, so I'm looking to clean up my build. I've semi-manually installed the jars into my
.m2/repository via the
install:install-file plugin. That's great for me, but what about the other people on my team? We're tiny, and setting up Nexus isn't really an option for us. I've resorted to adding comments to the
pom.xml explaining how to run
install:install-file for each jar.
I'm OK with the
install:install-file solution, but I'd still like to include these artifacts in my project's version control, and not merely have them sprinkled about my filesystem.
Keeping them in
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib doesn't work, since that automatically adds them to the resulting war artifact (digression: if maven would simply go ahead and add them to the classpath here I'd be done, no need for install:install-file!)
Question: is there a sanctioned place in the maven directory layout where I can tuck these
.jar files, just so that I can keep them as part of my project?
I do realize what's going on here- Maven is attempting to keep dependent jars outside of my build so that when other projects depend on my build, they can resolve the transitive dependencies. That's great for open-source projects that are going into the public maven repos, but I'd bet that the vast majority of people using Maven are working on "leaf" projects such as this, and it would be really handy to have a way to include jar files as part of the project without jumping through so many hoops.

A Jet Airways flight from London to Mumbai set off panic while flying through German airspace recently, after the pilots did not respond to communication from air traffic controllers for about 25 minutes.
The incident happened just a few days after the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian airlines flight MH370, which heightened the seriousness of the case.
It was not immediately known how many travellers were on the aircraft, a Boeing 777-300ER, which has a seating capacity of 312.
The case was investigated by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), which received a complaint from the German air traffic control on March 13.
The two pilot on the Jet flight 9W 117 were taken off the roster for two weeks, during the course of the inquiry.
The DGCA inquiry found out that the pilots had taken off their headsets and did not hear the communication as the audio volume was low.
Communication was re-established after the air traffic controllers sent a text message to the pilots through the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS), a satellite-based system, and the pilots responded to the traffic controllers.
Jet officials also joined the DGCA in the inquiry into the case. "Based on the investigation report, Jet Airways has ensured strict disciplinary action against the pilots. The report has been sent to the German authorities for closure," said a spokesperson for the airlines.

The News of the World phone-hacking scandal on Wednesday claimed its biggest scalp yet when James Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch's heir apparent, dramatically resigned as executive chairman of News International, publisher of The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun, amid fresh allegations that he attempted to cover-up the scandal.
Last year, its chief executive Rebekah Brooks was forced to resign over her role in hushing up the affair. She was arrested and is on bail.
Officially, the line was that Mr Murdoch (39), who joined News International five years ago, had quit to concentrate on his role as deputy chief operating officer of its parent company, the New York-based News Corporation, and play a bigger role in the company's television business which includes Star TV and the Sky network.
In a statement, he said: "I deeply appreciate the dedication of my many talented colleagues at News International who work tirelessly to inform the public and am confident about the tremendous momentum we have achieved under the leadership of my father and Tom Mockridge (chief executive of NI).
With the successful launch of The Sun on Sunday and new business practices in place across all titles, News International is now in a strong position to build on its successes in the future."
His father, Rupert, chairman and chief executive at News Corporation, praised "James' leadership" saying he had made "lasting contributions to the group's strategy in paid digital content and its efforts to improve and enhance governance programs."
"He has demonstrated leadership and continues to create great value at Star TV, Sky Deutschland, Sky Italia, and BSkyB. Now that he has moved to New York, James will continue to assume a variety of essential corporate leadership mandates, with particular focus on important pay-TV businesses and broader international operations," he said.
Mr James Murdoch had been under pressure to explain how much he knew about the extent of hacking at the defunct News of the World after his own senior executives questioned his version. He was accused of misleading MPs when he appeared before a high-level parliamentary committee which inquired into the hacking row. An ongoing judicial inquiry, led by Lord Justice Brian Henry Leveson, has heard damaging allegations about the practices at his newspapers. Mr Murdoch's resignation came a day after a senior police officer told the
Leveson inquiry that The Sun had a "culture of illegal payments" to public officials including police officers to get information. Ten current and former Sun journalists have been arrested over allegations of paying bribes.

Yesterday, for only the second time in my life, I drove in a foreign country. For those of you only tuning in now, that country was South Africa which is where I am at this moment in time.
My first port of call was Stellenbosch. I was there to get footage of a vineyard for my "10 things…" video. The vineyard in question was Fairview which is also famous for its cheese tasting. Afterwards I had lunch with my friend Fiona who happens to be over in South Africa at the moment. She came to Stellenbosch and we enjoyed a light lunch in one of the nearby vineyards before I returned to Cape Town.
Coming back into the city was trickier than going out. I wasn't sure what exit I was to take from the motorway so I drove right into Downtown Cape Town. I was still unsure as to how to make it back to The Backpack so at this point I'd like to pay homage to Apple for inventing the iPhone and Google for inventing the Google Maps app. You guys saved me yesterday evening.
Because I want to show you an aerial view of Cape Town at night, what I did yesterday evening is getting a post all on its own.

BOISE -- The race for Idaho secretary of state may get more crowded on the Republican side.
Thirty-two-year-old Phil McGrane, chief deputy county clerk in Ada County, says he'll make an official announcement at 5 p.m. Tuesday at the Ada County Courthouse and is offering free barbecue to the public.
Already, state Rep. Lawerence Denney of Midvale says he's running.
Meanwhile, former state Sen. Mitch Toryanski of Boise filed paperwork and appointed a treasurer. He hasn't made a definitive announcement.
This crowd gearing up for next May's GOP primary began assembling as current Secretary of State Ben Ysursa announced he's retiring after three terms.
Ysursa has yet to announce if he'll endorse a candidate to replace him.
McGrane is among top election officials in Idaho's most-populous county.
He's been mulling a run for weeks.

Her terrific autobiography, Maria Tallchief: America's Prima Ballerina (first published in 1997 and recently reissued in paperback), tells the story of a country girl with ambitious parents and a relatively clear head. Smart, lusty, and passionate, she finds herself in the right places at the right timesin Los Angeles in the '30s, when many fine European ballerinas were teaching there, and in the Ballet Russe and Balanchine's many ventures in the '40s, making do and making dances during difficult years. Her romantic adventures form a counterpoint to the diligence of her devotion to craft and artit's ballet, rather than, say, coitus that obsesses her. Her marriage to Balanchine, obviously an alliance of muse and mentor, lasts five years, but her friendship with him, and their creative association, end only at his death.
An impulsive act of cunnilingus marks a turning point in the life of the ballerina heroine of Adrienne Sharp's First Love, a new first novel set in 1981. The writer has steeped herself, through research and experience, in ballet lore. Tallchief's book, Sharp says in an author's note, is among her sources, along with other chronicles by Balanchine's surprisingly literate colleagues.
Sandra Ellis, Sharp's fictional dancer who moves as if in a trance through the School of American Ballet and subsequent years in the New York City Ballet corps, is stalled in her career and in her relationship with the young Adam LaSalle when the aging Balanchine finally notices her, develops a crush, and starts planning a production of The Sleeping Beauty around her. A motherless child whose father is an unstable Southern writer, she finds structure and community at SAB, along with a boy who starts out as her best friend and becomes her lover. LaSalle, a hunky gifted city rat whose parents are both dancers and who has basically been raised by his rich gay godfather, feels neglected, demanding commitments from Sandra that the ethereal creature is not ready to make.
Set against the dawn of the age of AIDS and in a veritable sea of drugs and alcohol, Sharp's novel puts the young artists through experiences similar to Tallchief's, but the kids somehow miss their meaning. Buffeted by damaged parents, battered by controlled substances, too headstrong to practice birth control, they tear themselves and each other apart while Balanchine staggers toward the great beyond. Sharp has taken a few liberties with chronology, but her ballet world feels authentic, albeit viewed through a scrim. Her characters, primarily physical creatures, don't have a whole lot to say; it's hard to see how this book will become a film, though I'm sure someone will attempt it.

MGMT101 - Introduction To Management
This course is an introduction to the critical management skills involved in planning, structuring, controlling and leading an organization. It provides a framework for understanding issues involved in both managing and being managed, and it will help you to be a more effective contributor to organizations that you join. We develop a "systems" view of organizations, which means that we examine organizations as part of a context, including but not limited to environment, strategy, structure, culture, tasks, people and outputs. We consider how managerial decisions made in any one of these domains affect decisions in each of the others.

Thus far, most real progress toward implementing integrative approaches has occurred for health, as reviewed in several chapters of this volume (see also National Research Council, 2001b; Johnson and Crow, 2005), and in psychology, especially psychopathology (see Plomin, DeFries, Craig, and McGuffin, 2003; Rutter, 2006). Bridging the gap between the biological and the social sciences has taken more time, although important developments have occurred at the intersections of economics and psychology in behavioral economics (Brocas and Carillo, 2003, 2004; Camerer, Loewenstein, and Rabin, 2004). However, an increasing number of important prospective national population surveys are collecting (or considering) DNA samples, with the intention of enabling social science researchers, subject to suitable disclosure controls, to access information on a significant range of genetic markers (e.g., in the United States, the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and the Fragile Families Survey). Although the importance of such large and often nationally representative samples for genetic research is recognized, the longer term potential lies in the ability to explore the interplays between genes and behavior over the life course in response to experiences.
One of the great challenges of an integrative biosocial life-course approach to the study of behavior is the very complexity involved and to find the means of avoiding drowning in the multiple levels and interplays. One of my favorite relevant aphorisms, from the different context of population projections, is John Hajnal's (1955, p. 321) plea for "less computation and more cogitation." At the meeting during the preparation of this volume, Jim Vaupel summed this up differently as "model simple; think complex." My own preference would be to extend this somewhat to "model sufficiently complex, not simplistically; think more, both to complexify and to simplify." The key here is that we need to have more and better theory and conceptualization, including attention to mechanisms and pathways or processes (a theme developed at greater length in Hobcraft, 2006). The problems of data dredging or gene hunting are well recognized, and the need for replication and ever larger samples to avoid false positives is often stressed (e.g., Plomin, 2005).
Yet some of the most influential findings on gene-environment inter-

Family Recipe Friday- Old-Fashioned Sponge Toffee
With Halloween only a few days away I thought this recipe might conjure up some nostalgia for some of you. I know it did for me.
I remember sponge toffee well from my childhood. My mother made it on a few occasions but I remembered it mostly from the local corner store. On Saturday nights after Mass, my father would take us to the corner variety store for a treat. Sponge toffee in its simple clear cellophane wrapper was always one of my favourites.
Long gone are the days of making homemade Halloween candy to hand out to the neighbourhood children, but perhaps you might want to make this as a treat for your children or grandchildren.
I did a little research on sponge toffee wondering its history and origins. Little did I know that it is one of those treats that transcends borders. Depending on the regions of the world in which you live, you may know it as sponge candy (America) or seafoam (in various parts of the U.S. including Maine, Oregon, Washington, Utah and California, puff candy (Scotland) and hokey pokey (New Zealand) and Yellowman sponge toffee (Ireland). Then there is sponge toffee (Canada) orHoneycomb or cinder toffee (Britain) and believed to be the originating home of this sweet treat.
Most recipes vary little, with 3 ingredients corn syrup, sugar and baking soda, occasionally you may find a recipe with vinegar or vanilla added.
Here's a version from my collection of French-Canadian recipes.
Old-Fashioned Sponge Toffee
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of corn syrup
4 tsp of baking soda.
Heat the corn syrup and sugar in a heavy bottom. Make sure there is plenty of room in pot as it will foam up. Cook until you can drop a spoonful in cold water and it turns into hard threads or read 300F on a candy thermometer. About 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, add the baking soda mix well, (this is when it will start foaming up). Pour into a greased 8 x 8 pan lined with parchment paper. When cool,cut into pieces, store in air tight container at room temperature.

— The top U.N. official in Iraq was killed today after a massive truck bomb ripped through the world body's Baghdad headquarters. At least 16 others died and more than 100 were wounded in the most devastating attack ever on a U.N. facility.
The United Nations confirmed Sergio Vieira de Mello, the Brazilian who headed the U.N. mission in Iraq, had died. Vieira de Mello, 55, was in his office when the explosion occurred and was trapped in the rubble for hours.
U.N. officials said 17 people were killed, including seven U.N. employees. Of the 108 wounded, 86 have been hospitalized and 22 were hurt but walked away from the scene, U.N. officials said.
In a strong condemnation of the bombing, President Bush today called the attackers "enemies of the civilized world."
"These killers will not determine the future of Iraq," Bush told reporters at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. "Iraq is on an irreversible course toward self-government and peace. And America and our friends in the United Nations will stand with the Iraqi people."
In addition to Vieira de Mello, the U.N. employees killed in the blast were identified as Rick Hooper, an American who worked in the Department of Public Affairs; Fiona Watson, from the United Kingdom; Ranillo Buenaventura and Marilyn Manuel, both from the Philippines; Jean-Selim Kanaan, an Egyptian; and Chris Klein-Beckman, a 32-year-old Canadian who worked for the United Nations Children's Fund.
U.S. military officials in Baghdad said the bomb blew up near al Kanal hotel housing the U.N. headquarters in northeastern Baghdad around 4:30 p.m. local time. The hotel had been the headquarters for U.N. operations in Iraq since the 1991 Persian Gulf War, and housed the U.N. weapons inspection program and humanitarian assistance efforts.
A truck apparently approached al Kanal hotel from a parking area on the side of the building. A 12-foot-tall concrete wall had just been completed around the 600-by-900-foot hotel compound, but the site was not strictly guarded by police or military forces. It was unclear whether the truck tried to ram through the wall.
Annan Heading Back to New York
The light security presence was intentional, U.N. officials said, because they "did not want a large American presence outside," U.N. spokesman Salim Lone said.
"We are unarmed. We don't have a lot of security, as this bomb shows," Lone said. "We don't want a lot of security, because we're here to help the people of Iraq."
Messages of condolence and outrage came pouring in from officials and human rights groups around the world.
Shortly after the attack, a U.N. spokesman said U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan had cut short his vacation in northern Europe to return to New York, where the international body is headquartered.
In a statement released in New York, Annan expressed shock and dismay over the attack and said he hoped the perpetrators would be brought to justice.
The flags of the 191 U.N. member states were taken down, and the blue and white U.N. flag was lowered to half-staff.
Trapped in the Rubble
As night fell on Baghdad, distraught relatives of local U.N. staffers were desperately trying to reach the devastated site of the attack, anxious for news about their loved ones.
A security cordon was established around the area. Witnesses said Black Hawk helicopters hovered around the site ready to ferry the wounded to hospitals.

Redlands Police cited 15 drivers during a crosswalk enforcement detail Monday.
Two police officers and a community service officer conducted the crosswalk detail Monday, March 17, at two intersections – Cajon and Vine streets; and Redlands Boulevard at State Street. Drivers were cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian.
A significant number of downtown Redlands alcohol establishments have pledged not to over-serve alcohol in an effort to keep St. Patrick's Day celebrations safer. Bars and restaurants in Redlands are posting their pledge not to over-serve on their walls and asking patrons to help them keep their word.
As part of the City's continuing efforts to increase interaction with residents and promote transparency in City affairs, the City Council began a monthly "Coffee With the Council" in February 2011.
The informal meetings are held from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on the third Saturday of each month, rotating among three local restaurants – Olive Avenue Market, 530 W. Olive Ave; Cuca's Mexican Food, 1752 E. Lugonia Ave.; and Augie's Coffee House, 113 N. Fifth St. Council members rotate attendance, with no more than two members at each meeting.
Mayor Pete Aguilar suggested the meetings as a way for residents to ask questions or share concerns with Council members outside the formal setting of a City Council meeting.
The remaining schedule for this year's Coffee with the Council meetings is included below
The Redlands Human Relations Commission invites residents of Redlands and surrounding communities to attend its 12th Annual César Chávez Scholarship Breakfast, beginning at 7 a.m. Thursday, March 27.
The annual scholarship breakfast recognizes and provides awareness of the efforts of the late civil rights and farm labor leader, celebrating César Chávez's legacy of compassion, education, and equality for all Americans. Last year's event raised enough funds to provide $1,000 scholarships to several Redlands Unified School District students that the committee felt exemplified the spirit of Chávez.
This year's breakfast will be held from 7 to 9 a.m. Thursday, March 27, at the American Legion Post 650, 1532 North Church St. A stirring program is planned, followed by an auction of various goods, including art work, and community business packages.
The Fourteenth annual Faith and Justice Summit sponsored by the Cops and Clergy Network Inc. takes place March 20, beginning at 8 a.m. This year the summit is being hosted by Cops and Clergy Network, Yucaipa Chapter, and the City of Yucaipa. The summit will be held at Yucaipa Christian Church, 12954 Bryant St. in Yucaipa
This year's theme is "Curb Crime: Save Our Children," including the additional themes "Save a Life" and "Protect Our Children." A panel discussion by participants will explore: "How an effective coalition of community members and leaders, school officials and various civil authorities can be brought together to work in the best interest of our children's well-being on an ongoing basis rather than just attempting to do so in crisis mode."
Responsible Redlands operation to target social host violations
Redlands Police will be out in force conducting special party patrols Saturday, March 15, during the University of Redlands Beta Afterglow weekend as part of the department's Responsible Redlands enforcement efforts. The party patrols are part of an ongoing initiative aimed at creating a healthier, safer community through enforcing alcohol laws.
In an effort to keep the St. Patrick's Day weekend safe and fun for everyone, Redlands Police officers will conduct a sobriety checkpoint and targeted "saturation patrols" looking for anyone who may have been tempted to drink and drive.
Police will conduct a sobriety/drivers license checkpoint beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, March 14, in the northbound lanes of Church Street at Brockton Avenue, continuing through 3 a.m. Saturday.
Officers on grant-funded overtime will conduct saturation patrols Saturday, March 15, and Monday, March 17, looking for alcoholimpaired driving patterns. The St. Patrick's Day weekend enforcement actions are part of an ongoing initiative aimed at creating a healthier, safer community through enforcing alcohol laws.
The City of Redlands currently has openings on three City commissions. Deadline for filing applications to any of the three commissions is March 24. Commissioners are appointed by the City Council. Except where noted, commission meetings are held in the Redlands City Council Chambers, 35 Cajon St.
Persons interested in applying for the non-salaried positions may request application forms from the City Manager's Office, City Hall, 35 Cajon St., Suite 200, by phone at 798-7510, or on-line at www.cityofredlands.org
For kids who love LEGO, the Redlands Community Center will provide Pre-Engineering classes for children ages 5 to 6.
Classes begin Monday, March 10, and continue daily from 9 a.m. to noon through March 14. The cost is $126 and scholarships are available. Kids will learn how to design and build projects such as boats, bridges, mazes and motorized cars. Come and explore the endless creativity in the world of LEGO.
Due to a number of people placing items that are not allowed in the pharmaceutical drop-off box, the Redlands Police Department has discontinued the use of a secure pharmaceutical drop-off box in front of the Police Annex, but Redlands residents who wish to dispose of prescription drugs, used needles and other pharmaceutical items still have a number of safe options.
Improper disposal of prescription drugs, used hypodermic needles and other pharmaceutical items can create serious health and safety issues. Medications should never be flushed down the drain or thrown away in household trash.

And so are the memories of the voters, victims of their own apathy and the machine's propaganda. They are likely to keep in place one-party rule by what the New York Times recently called the last and largest surviving example, anywhere in the United States, of a Tammany Hall-type political machine.
The best way to understand a machine is to take it apart and study it, piece by piece. The Nassau GOP machine is notable for its staggering array of interchangeable parts and its politicizing of the judicial system. So here's an examination, based on campaign records and other public documents, of just one part of the sick shuffle of money, jobs, appointments and work among judges, lawyers and politicians in Nassau County.
You have to admire the chutzpah of machine boss Joe Mondello. You may want to feel sorry for the many other good people in Nassau who think they have no choice but to maintain the machine with regular doses of money and sweat if they want to make a living. But one outside observer nails it best by calling this frenetic buying and selling of people, power and money "a fucking cesspool."
The more things change...
Last June, when County Executive Tom Gulotta appointed Baldwin lawyer Bill Hodges to fill a vacancy on the Second Judicial District bench, not a whimper was heard from the Republican county legislators, who are part of the same machine. Gulotta also appointed Lisa Siano and Diane M. Dwyer to the district bench. Hodges replaced Anthony Marano, who had been appointed to a Supreme Court judgeship six months earlier.
Siano and Dwyer replaced Carnell Foskey and Joel Gewanter, who were appointed a couple of weeks earlier to Family Court.
This round of musical chairs in the year before an election is typical of the machine. It enables the Nassau GOP to, for instance, flood the county with bumper stickers urging that voters "return" Hodges and the other appointees to the judgeships the machine handed them.
How did Bill Hodges get so lucky?
Flash back to the late 1980s. While a zoning board member in the Town of Hempstead, Hodges allegedly represented clients in property sales in which the town granted variances. So did fellow board member Ray Mineo and board counsel Arthur Levine. Newsday, at the time in a dirt-digging mode, reported the situation, but all three denied that politics had anything to do with it.
"The people I sit with on the board are of the highest integrity," Mineo told Newsday back then. Levine added, "You have clean government here. This is minor, innocent stuff. We try to do everything right, open and above board."
Which must explain why, back in 1984, according to a 1989 Newsday story, Hempstead officials supposedly altered a consultant's rankings to grant a $4.6 million HUD contract to the company of a politically connected developer, Alvin Benjamin. A company official, Kurt Mohr, was a former town official during the reign of Alfonse D'Amato as town supervisor. Everyone denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of the action.
Bill Hodges, who presided over the town's housing authority in '84, told Newsday in 1989, "I have no recollection of that."
Tom Gulotta, who was the town's presiding supervisor in '84, told Newsday that he knew nothing about either the rankings or an extra $225,000 that the newspaper said was given to the company in connection with its work in the town. He blamed his executive assistant at the time, Ed Ward, saying, "I assume that people are going to act properly unless I learn otherwise." The newspaper's 1989 story reported that Ward told the town's planning commissioner to give the company the extra $225,000.
Ward told Newsday that Mohr "produced something" to justify his claims. But Newsday reported that neither Ward nor any other official who approved Mohr's request could produce any documentation supporting it.
Ward had worked for Mohr during D'Amato's reign in Hempstead. At the time of the Newsday story in 1989, Ward was special assistant to Joe Mondello, who at that time was Hempstead's presiding supervisor.
Where are they now? Ed Ward is a Nassau County legislator from District 19. Gulotta, of course, is the county executive. Mondello is still the party boss.
And Bill Hodges, carrying his poor memory with him, is about to become a judge.
But Hodges always remembers to keep up his contributions to the party. He gave $200 to the Nassau County Republican Committee on Aug. 11, 1998. Fifteen days later, he sent in $500. On Oct. 22, 1998, he gave $400 more. On Feb. 12, 1999, he chipped in $500 more.
What about fellow lawyers Ray Mineo and Arthur Levine? They're also regular contributors. For instance, Mineo gave $100 under his own name on Aug. 17, 1998, followed by $1,100 more in February and March of 1999.

As much as I laud Miami and it being the epicenter of all things bikini and hot in this country, nay, this world at this very moment, I'm not so keen on my California girls removing themselves from within my binocular shot to take part in the Miami exhibitionist movement. I admire talent wherever and whenever it appears, but when the likes of Anastasia Ashley and her twerkin' fine bikini bottom leave my vicinity, well, I'm kind of having anxiety attacks here. I'm breathing into a paper bag even as I scroll through photos of Anastasia in various states of bikini and surfing hotness.
I've got to talk to my friends in fake law enforcement (mall security) about getting one of those ankle monitors on Anastasia so she can't roam like this. Albeit, if she"s going to roam, it could be worse than doing so in a tiny striped bikini that shows off her ridiculously hot thumper. Anastasia, come home! Enjoy.

Still studying mandarim and dutch, one day I'll get there.

I had to manage the entire operation for their brazilian customers.

I've also worked at Teleco.IO (www.teleco.io) and at Handprint (www.handprint.me) as a community manager. I basically had to create their social media pages, manage them, answer the questions, engage with people in groups and pages, etc. I started my carreer in digital marketing in 2012 when I started studying about affiliate marketing and it took me to SEO and the other components of Online Marketing, such as paid advertising (PPC as Adwords, facebook ads, linkedin ads, youtube ads, twitter ads), SMM (social media marketing), SEM (Search Engine Marketing with Adwords), E-mail marketing (autoresponders such as mail chimp, magic responder and aweber), analytics (bing & google's webmaster tools, google analytics, facebook analytics, youtube analytics, seomoz, seo majestic), keyword research (google's keyword planner for adwords, keyworddiscovery, seomoz keyword tool, long tail pro) and content marketing of all types (writting, videos and audios).

Philippines - Last active: 09/06/2014 - Tests: 8
I have been working with Odesk for more than 3 years and counting. With the different fields of expertise I get to work on, I can say that I have developed my skills, my personality and learnt a lot of things that one can never achieve in a classroom or training facility. Hands-on is the best training to learn a skill. With the projects I worked on, and working on, I developed punctuality in any sense. My interacting skills, better since it's much harder to express emotions without facial expressions. The best thing, I think, is to be able to work with people of different race, living on the other side of the world. Always looking forward to new opportunities.

Long time Designer/3d modeller, short time Shapy, known about and experienced 3d printing back in the late 80's when they only had Stereolithography 3d printing to produce prototypes for the manufacturing industries costing a few thousand dollars for a single prototype, it's great to see it evolve using different methods, like FDM, SLS and even paper, and at an affordable price too, not only to get things printed but to actually own your own desktop 3d printer is awesome. So far it's been a great experience here on Shapeways, great site BTW, some of the stuff that people have been producing is amazing and inspirational. Just opened my first online shop http://www.shapeways.com/shops/saurus it's nerving and exciting at the same time. At first I uploaded my models for personal printing projects then seeing all the other shops I thought, what the heck there's no harm in offering my work to the public, if someone purchases one of my pieces great! if not, I'm still happy to be here and do what I enjoy doing, designing and modelling.

PRTG Network Monitor (BMKG)
News From Paessler
Experience PRTG at Cisco Live San Diego 2015
It's this time of the year again! IT professionals worldwide get together to meet at Cisco's annual premier education and training destination. Of course also Paessler will be there to show you the latest trends in unified monitoring. Our team will bring exciting demos and new features. Just stop by our booth! We're excited to meeting you and look forward to answering your questions...
Logjam Vulnerability: PRTG Is Safe Since Version 14.4.12 (October 2014)
After the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug and the SSL 3.0 POODLE vulnerability another encryption attack has emerged that enables exploiters to read and modify data passing through encrypted connections. According to an Ars Technica article this new attack leaves tens of thousands of HTTPS-protected web and mail servers vulnerable.
PRTG Now Available on Android Wear
As a user of PRTG Network Monitor, you probably know that you can keep an eye on your network using several different interfaces?your web browser, directly on your Windows desktop with the Enterprise Console, or by using one of our four mobile apps. Now we're extending that access to a rather less expected place: your wrist!
Listen Up: What Our Customers Think About Mobile, Efficiency and Support Quality
As developers of a software solution that is vital for IT departments worldwide, we constantly are looking for new ways to improve the user interface, the monitoring workflow and the capabilities of PRTG Network Monitor by adding new features. Of course we can rely on a team of very smart and enthusiastic developers who are deeply rooted in the IT and monitoring world. Another very important source of information is our dedicated group of users. You contact us on a regular basis, ask for specific features and hint at workflow optimizations. Your direct feedback is immensely valuable for us-and due to our continuous rollout strategy, we can make new features accessible very fast after they have gone through a thorough testing phase by our quality assurance team. ?
Sensor of the Week: Cloud HTTP Sensor
Today's business relies very much on the internet. This is true not only for vendors with big web shops, but also for companies, which present their product portfolio, or provide their services online. Downtime will actually mean revenue loss. As business is becoming more global, it isn't enough to monitor the availability of a web server from one single location?and that's where our brand-new Cloud HTTP sensor comes into play...
Experience PRTG Live at Interop Las Vegas 2015
Curious about the latest trends in unified monitoring? Meet the PRTG Network Monitor team at Interop Las Vegas, the independent technology conference and expo for IT enthusiasts. Our booth will be packed with exciting demos and new features. Just stop by! We're excited to meeting you, answer your questions, and have a good time chatting about IT and monitoring?or anything else you always wanted to talk to us about...

The Impact of March Madness on Your Network Traffic
The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, known widely as "March Madness," is in full swing, and a new college basketball national champion will be determined next Monday when the final is played. The tournament, which begins with 68 teams and spans nearly three weeks, is one of the most popular and highly viewed sporting events in the U.S. In fact, Saturday's thrilling, close game between the undefeated and top-ranked University of Kentucky and the University of Notre Dame was the most viewed college basketball game in the history of cable television, according to Forbes magazine.
[April Fools' Day 2015] PRTG VR: Explore Your Network in 3D
Please note: This article was published on 1st of April 2015. You face an April Fools' Day hoax here.
And Again: The Network Computing Award Goes to PRTG!
PRTG Network Monitor was again shortlisted for several categories at the?Network Computing Awards. This time we were able to bring home the award in the category "Bench Tested Product of the Year" which means that PRTG is the favourite of all tested products in 2015.?
PRTG Now Supports Push Notifications for Windows Phone
One of the most-requested features we get for our mobile clients is push notifications for Windows Phone. It took us a little longer to roll that out than it did for our other platforms, but we're happy to announce that as of PRTG for Windows Phone 15.1.1, if you're connecting to a PRTG 14.x.13?or higher server and using Windows Phone 8.1, you can now enjoy free, nearly instantaneous PRTG notifications in your action center.
Sensor of the Week: SSH Script Advanced Sensor
A few months ago, we've featured the SSH Script sensor, which allows you to use your own scripts to customize your Linux monitoring. The SSH Script Advanced sensor takes the customization potential even further as it enables you to show values returned by an executable script located on the target system in multiple channels. This really comes in handy if you want to monitor multiple processes and return the result of each process in a separate channel.
Help Us Beta Test the PRTG Certificate Importer
When you use HTTPS to log into the web interface of PRTG Network Monitor, you will see an SSL certificate warning in your browser, because the default SSL certificate of PRTG is not signed by a valid authority. If this warning always bothers you, keep on reading as we present a new freeware tool helping you to import trusted SSL certificates into PRTG.
Sensor of the Week: SSH Disk Free Sensor
When you are working with Linux/Unix systems in your IT environment, it's a huge advantage to be able to gather all kinds of information regarding your systems in one place. SSH (Secure Shell) monitoring allows you to query data by executing specific commands after PRTG has logged in to your devices. A value that's always good to know is the free disk space.
Sensor of the Week: Hyper-V Virtual Storage Device Sensor
In today's IT environments it's almost impossible not to incorporate some kind of virtualization in order to face upcoming challenges. Although the initial setup has to be planned very thoroughly, it provides more freedom in terms of scalability and a more flexible working environment for users and admins alike. Like physical hardware also virtual components need to be monitored to guarantee that they are performing as required. Virtual storage is a common area of application which is, for example, provided by Microsoft Hyper-V.
