Of all the Candlewoods I've stayed at across the country this rates the lowest.
NIce Staff
May 27, 2015
Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were clean and well supplied. I will stay there again.
This Hotel services are below the average of the low end hotel
April 29, 2015
After put in a request for room clean and it was not done. And when complain about it to the supervisor, he didn't do anything about it, he just went somewhere and never return and never came by the room to offer any help. They only clean once a week, yet they only put in four towers!
The request to change the arrival date was send to the manager a week earlier and the Manager never took care of it. I was trying to correct the date at the time of the check in and they never corrected it and result the bill show I stayed one day earlier!
Picked up a bag of Oak meal near by the coffee bar and was charged by the receptionist $1.50 for one day, another day is $1.00 and different day is free. It seem the receptionist charged randomly whatever price they want to charge you.
The Priority membership was presented at the time of the check in and it never save in the system!
Many phone calls and many complains results of these poor services and none was resolved properly. I had requested to talk to the Manager and the receptionist said she was afraid to call the Manager because she said the Manager told her not to call her only the Manager is in the office (it was the business hour).
I had stayed so many Hotel in the past and this is the first Hotel that I thought it was managed very poorly.
There so many people in my group expressed the same feeling about the services. But so much with my complains, I don't think they care at all!

1967 Ford Mustang - No-No Mustang
From A Wrecked Hulk To A Show Winner, This Mustang Was There For Its Owner
His dad became interested in the project after a year and a half. His mother saw how responsible it made Jeff, unlike his father's experience of being handed a new Mustang to drive off to college. The college senior completed the restoration two weeks before graduation. Two weeks after college, Jeff got married and his wife was happy to ride in the car on their honeymoon.
Although it is a basic hardtop, it does have some special features, such as the deluxe wire wheel covers, Exterior Dcor Group (including pop-open gas cap), center-mounted console, and a roof console.
At first, Jeff went back stock. After seeing a Falcon with a two-tone red and white interior, he decided to accent his all-red interior with white painted surfaces. The metal parts of the insides of the doors, both consoles, and the dash are now white. This color change, though a little off from stock, made a dramatic increase in show wins.
"I love my little white car," Jeff told us. She was ready to go to the wrecking yard and came back from nothing.

Keith Lemon apologises after failing to meet fans while filming in Barrow
Last updated at 09:51, Wednesday, 14 May 2014
TV comedy character Keith Lemon was spotted filming in Barrow.
• Did you snap a photo of Keith? Click here to send it to us
The host of ITV2's Celebrity Juice was with a camera crew in the town on Monday May 12 2014 and is believed to have stayed over at The Chequers Hotel in Dalton.
'Keith' was filming for his series, Through The Keyhole.
The TV personality was seen by a number of fans in Barrow and posed for pictures.
And while production crews were desperate for the identity of the home owner to remain a secret, it was not long before rumours surfaced of Hairy Biker Dave Myers being the subject of the filming.
By late afternoon, around 100 fans had gathered outside the Strictly Come Dancing star's house.
At one point police were called to make sure the situation remained under control.
Despite chants of "We want Keith," the ginger moustacheod maverick did not make a further appearance.
When I 'm filming at someone's house I can't use this as a location for a meet and greet and have t' respect the homeowners privacy.
— Keith Lemon (@lemontwittor) May 13, 2014
Sorry for anyone waiting outside the house I was filming at but if you come to a tv studio or a signing all do a photo album of pics for ya
— Keith Lemon (@lemontwittor) May 13, 2014
Just not good manners to do it outside someone's gaff! And besides that we were filming! Hope you understand. All't best

Have your say
I'd like to say that I find Keith lemon a highly entertaining and very attractive alpha male. The fact he's bothered to come to mighty barrow makes my chest swell with pride.
Wow, Keith Lemon in Barrow. My husband Mark has been trying to get me to move to Barrow where he is from for years. I've always resisted as being from the south I've heard the A590 is the road to nowhere. well all that's changed and sounds like Barrow is on the up. In my town I'm used to seeing celebrities like Chas and Dave but now I'm snooker loopy to move to Barrow. Rabbit.

- Staphylococcus aureus proteins Sbi and Efb recruit human plasmin to degrade complement C3 and C3b (2012)
- Upon host infection, the human pathogenic microbe Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) immediately faces innate immune reactions such as the activated complement system. Here, a novel innate immune evasion strategy of S. aureus is described. The staphylococcal proteins surface immunoglobulin-binding protein (Sbi) and extracellular fibrinogen-binding protein (Efb) bind C3/C3b simultaneously with plasminogen. Bound plasminogen is converted by bacterial activator staphylokinase or by host-specific urokinase-type plasminogen activator to plasmin, which in turn leads to degradation of complement C3 and C3b. Efb and to a lesser extend Sbi enhance plasmin cleavage of C3/C3b, an effect which is explained by a conformational change in C3/C3b induced by Sbi and Efb. Furthermore, bound plasmin also degrades C3a, which exerts anaphylatoxic and antimicrobial activities. Thus, S. aureus Sbi and Efb comprise platforms to recruit plasmin(ogen) together with C3 and its activation product C3b for efficient degradation of these complement components in the local microbial environment and to protect S. aureus from host innate immune reactions.
- Separation of strangeness from antistrangeness in the phase transition from quark to hadron matter: Possible formation of strange quark matter in heavy-ion collisions (1987)
- We present a mechanism for the separation of strangeness from antistrangeness in the deconfinement transition. For a net strangeness of zero in the total system, the population of s quarks is greatly enriched in the quark-gluon plasma, while the s¯ quarks drift into the hadronic phase. This separation could result in ''strangelet'' formation, i.e., metastable blobs of strange-quark matter, which could serve as a unique signature for quark-gluon plasma formation in heavy-ion collisions. PACS: 25.70.Np, 12.38.Mh
- Creation of strange-quark-matter droplets as a unique signature for quark-gluon plasma formation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions (1988)
- We demonstrate that strangeness separates in the Gibbs-phase coexistence between a baryon-rich quark-gluon plasma and hadron matter, even at T=0. For finite temperatures this is due to the associated production of kaons (containing s¯ quarks) in the hadron phase while s quarks remain in the deconfined phase. The s-s¯ separation results in a strong enhancement of the s-quark abundance in the quark phase. This mechanism is further supported by cooling and net strangeness enrichment due to the prefreezeout evaporation of pions and K+, K0, which carry away entropy and anti- strangeness from the system. Metastable droplets (i.e., stable as far as weak interactions are not regarded) of strange-quark matter (''strangelets'') can thus be formed during the phase transition. Such cool, compact, long-lived clusters could be experimentally observed by their unusually small Z/A ratio (≤0.1–0.3). Even if the strange-quark-matter phase is not stable under strong interactions, it should be observable by the delayed correlated emission of several hyperons. This would serve as a unique signature for the transient formation of a quark-gluon plasma.
- Canonical suppression in microscopic transport models (2006)
- We demonstrate the occurrence of canonical suppression associated with the conservation of an U(1)-charge in current transport models. For this study a pion gas is simulated within two different transport approaches by incorporating inelastic and volume-limited collisions pi pi leftrightarrow K bar-K for the production of kaon pairs. Both descriptions can dynamically account for the suppression in the yields of rare strange particles in a limited box, being in full accordance with a canonical statistical description.
- Chemical equilibration due to heavy Hagedorn states (2004)
- A scenario of heavy resonances, called massive Hagedorn states, is proposed which exhibits a fast (t H 1 fm/c) chemical equilibration of (strange) baryons and anti-baryons at the QCD critical temperature Tc. For relativistic heavy ion collisions this scenario predicts that hadronization is followed by a brief expansion phase during which the equilibration rate is higher than the expansion rate, so that baryons and antibaryons reach chemical equilibrium before chemical freeze-out occurs. PACS-Nr.: 12.38.Mh
- Dynamic canonical suppression of strangeness in transport models (2005)
- It is investigated whether canonical suppression associated with the exact conservation of an U(1)-charge can be reproduced correctly by current transport models. Therefore a pion-gas having a volume-limited cross section for kaon production and annihilation is simulated within two different transport prescriptions for realizing the inelastic collisions. It is found that both models can indeed dynamically account for the canonical suppression in the yields of rare strange particles.

- Influence of genetic variations in TLR4 and TIRAP/Mal on the course of sepsis and pneumonia and cytokine release: an observational study in three cohorts (2010)
- Introduction: It has been proposed that individual genetic variation contributes to the course of severe infections and sepsis. Recent studies of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the endotoxin receptor and its signaling system showed an association with the risk of disease development. This study aims to examine the response associated with genetic variations of TLR4, the receptor for bacterial LPS, and a central intracellular signal transducer (TIRAP/Mal) on cytokine release and for susceptibility and course of severe hospital acquired infections in distinct patient populations. Methods: Three intensive care units in tertiary care university hospitals in Greece and Germany participated. 375 and 415 postoperative patients and 159 patients with ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) were included. TLR4 and TIRAP/Mal polymorphisms in 375 general surgical patients were associated with risk of infection, clinical course and outcome. In two prospective studies, 415 patients following cardiac surgery and 159 patients with newly diagnosed VAP predominantly caused by Gram-negative bacteria were studied for cytokine levels in-vivo and after ex-vivo monocyte stimulation and clinical course. Results: Patients simultaneously carrying polymorphisms in TIRAP/Mal and TLR4 and patients homozygous for the TIRAP/Mal SNP had a significantly higher risk of severe infections after surgery (odds ratio (OR) 5.5; confidence interval (CI): 1.34 - 22.64; P = 0.02 and OR: 7.3; CI: 1.89 - 28.50; P < 0.01 respectively). Additionally we found significantly lower circulating cytokine levels in double-mutant individuals with ventilator associated pneumonia and reduced cytokine production in an ex-vivo monocyte stimulation assay, but this difference was not apparent in TIRAP/Mal-homozygous patients. In cardiac surgery patients without infection, the cytokine release profiles were not changed when comparing different genotypes. Conclusions: Carriers of mutations in sequential components of the TLR signaling system may have an increased risk for severe infections. Patients with this genotype showed a decrease in cytokine release when infected which was not apparent in patients with sterile inflammation following cardiac surgery.
- APADB: a database for alternative polyadenylation and microRNA regulation events (2014)
- Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a widespread mechanism that contributes to the sophisticated dynamics of gene regulation. Approximately 50% of all protein-coding human genes harbor multiple polyadenylation (PA) sites; their selective and combinatorial use gives rise to transcript variants with differing length of their 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). Shortened variants escape UTR-mediated regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs), especially in cancer, where global 3'UTR shortening accelerates disease progression, dedifferentiation and proliferation. Here we present APADB, a database of vertebrate PA sites determined by 3' end sequencing, using massive analysis of complementary DNA ends. APADB provides (A)PA sites for coding and non-coding transcripts of human, mouse and chicken genes. For human and mouse, several tissue types, including different cancer specimens, are available. APADB records the loss of predicted miRNA binding sites and visualizes next-generation sequencing reads that support each PA site in a genome browser. The database tables can either be browsed according to organism and tissue or alternatively searched for a gene of interest. APADB is the largest database of APA in human, chicken and mouse. The stored information provides experimental evidence for thousands of PA sites and APA events. APADB combines 3' end sequencing data with prediction algorithms of miRNA binding sites, allowing to further improve prediction algorithms. Current databases lack correct information about 3'UTR lengths, especially for chicken, and APADB provides necessary information to close this gap. Database URL: http://tools.genxpro.net/apadb/
- Superimposed high-frequency jet ventilation combined with continuous positive airway pressure/assisted spontaneous breathing improves oxygenation in patients with H1N1-associated ARDS (2012)
- Background: Numerous cases of swine-origin 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus (H1N1)-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) bridged by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy have been reported; however, complication rates are high. We present our experience with H1N1-associated ARDS and successful bridging of lung function using superimposed high-frequency jet ventilation (SHFJV) in combination with continuous positive airway pressure/assisted spontaneous breathing (CPAP/ASB). Methods: We admitted five patients with H1N1 infection and ARDS to our intensive care unit. Although all patients required pure oxygen and controlled ventilation, oxygenation was insufficient. We applied SHFJV/CPAP/ASB to improve oxygenation. Results: Initial PaO2/FiO2 ratio prior SHFJV was 58-79 mmHg. In all patients, successful oxygenation was achieved by SHFJV (PaO2/FiO2 ratio 105-306 mmHg within 24 h). Spontaneous breathing was set during first hours after admission. SHFJV could be stopped after 39, 40, 72, 100, or 240 h. Concomitant pulmonary herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection was observed in all patients. Two patients were successfully discharged. The other three patients relapsed and died within 7 weeks mainly due to combined HSV infection and in two cases reoccurring H1N1 infection. Conclusions: SHFJV represents an alternative to bridge lung function successfully and improve oxygenation in the critically ill.

Lady with the crazy neck
Big things happened! I moved to a different city (same state!). I haven't updated for LIKE A YEAR. FO REALZZZZZZZZ. no one cares! I care! you care! everyone cares! who the hell knows.
BUT. What I do know is that I drew this tonight. My model was "Modonna of the Long Neck" by Parmigianino -OR- 'Lady With the Crazy Neck' as my very good friend Lynn and I called it in college. Or tonight I am calling it 'Lady with the missing baby'. There is absolutely no cryptic message relating to my life in that title my friends so don't read into it. Google the Parmigianino painting and you'll understand. That's your art history lesson for tonight.
Kisses (as always), Mary

Yoga and Writing Class
Yoga and writing, two of my very favorite activities. This popular class takes places annually at The Ranch. It was taught in our beautiful Oaktree Pavilion by longtime Ranch yoga instructor, Phyllis Pilgram, and writer, Irene Borger.
We started off with yoga stretches taught by Phyllis to loosen us up, and to help us reach a state of flow in our minds to prepare for writing. After stretching for about 30 minutes, we took our places on comfy floor chairs, settled in, and got ready for writing.
It was a beautiful setting to write in. The late afternoon sunlight streamed through the large windows of the pavilion and bounced off the wooden beams, lighting the entire room perfectly. Even though it was a bit chilly outside, we were warm from our yoga stretches and had the option of covering ourselves with cozy woven Mexican blankets.
We started the writing portion by writing one word that described what we needed within the next hour of the class. Mine was "peace". Then Irene had us write one sentence on each of the following topics:
- Something you've been wanting to write about.
- A moment you could never forget.
- Something from your life you want to remember.
- A moment that should not be forgotten.
Next we had ten minutes of silence to write more fully about one of these topics. But to start off the ten minutes, first we took our chosen topic/sentence and created a mind map. The purpose of a mind map is to take one idea and expand on it in the form of clusters.
Something Irene said that stuck with me is that when you are writing, you need to loosen up, and then focus in. Don't worry about the state of your writing. Get the ideas on paper and edit them later.
As we formed our clusters, we were asked to try to relate them back to the original word that we needed to feel during class. Remember, mine was "peace". This was a great exercise to bridge these two seemingly different topics, which helped me write more expansively during the ten minutes.
We kept our pens to the paper for the entire ten minutes of free writing. It reminded me of journal writing. My mind went to places I didn't expect, but I just followed my thoughts with my pen. I didn't judge, I just let it flow.
Afterwards I was amazed at how interconnected my writing was within my two topics. I was also surprised at how much my writing reflected my mind map clusters.
I loved the idea of connecting writing with yoga. They are very similar in ways I hadn't thought of before. It's really about clearing your mind and letting your inner consciousness flow. I'm excited to take what I learned during class into my daily life!

Reality TV Star Bethenny Frankel Set for CBS SUNDAY MORNING, 1/13
Reality TV star and entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel tells CBS SUNDAY MORNING WITH Charles Osgood she feels obligated to show the bad parts of her life as well as the good.
"You can't kind of say to the audience, 'Oh, I'm a fairy princess and I was just whisked off into the night on a horse,' and not tell them the rocky parts," Frankel tells Tracy Smith. "I chose to share the highs. So I had to choose to share the lows."
Since a 2005 appearance on a reality competition TV show, Frankel has become a fixture in the media landscape, turning what could have been 15 minutes of fame into a business empire that spans TV shows, books and a trendy drink line. Her syndicated daytime talk show launches later this year.
"It was the best decision I ever made in my life," she tells Smith of getting into reality TV in a wide-ranging interview to be broadcast on CBS SUNDAY MORNING on Jan. 13, 2013 (9:00 AM ET) on the CBS Television Network.
Viewers have watched along as she's gotten married, had a baby, and struggled in her marriage.
"I had to take my audience on this journey," she says. "And I really didn't feel like holding that much back from them. Once you're on that train, it's really difficult to slow the train down." She admits, though, having her life played out on screen wasn't always easy. "It was part of the deal," she says. "You go to work and you do things at your office that you don't really want to do. And you roll your eyes and you get frustrated, and you know, that's what happens when you're on reality TV."
Frankel recently revealed she and her husband are getting a divorce.
She tells CBS SUNDAY MORNING she feels a responsibility to talk to young girls about what marriage is really like. "You know, your whole life isn't going to be that fantasy fairy tale," she says. "And I say going in knowing that is definitely important."
Smith's interview with Frankel will be broadcast Jan. 13, 2013 on CBS SUNDAY MORNING (9:00 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network. Rand Morrison is the executive producer.

As the year comes to a close, we often find ourselves resolving to do things different in the new year. But how often do we really stay on track with those resolutions? Girls Gone Strong encourages you to make a pledge, a commitment, to be the best possible version of YOU in 2013. Having a GOAL as opposed to a RESOLUTION can really help create a sense of achievement and ambition.
Instead of resolving to exercise more, make a commitment to taking care of your body. Rather than resolving to eating better, make a pledge to only eat whole foods 90% of the time. Make this pledge or commitment every single day. Write it in a journal and record your thoughts daily to ensure you stay on task and follow through with your goals.
To inspire your pledge, we have compiled some of our personal pledges for 2013. Thank you for being a part of our 2012, and for inspiring us to strive for the strongest version of ourselves.
All the very best to you and yours in the New Year!
In 2013, I pledge to continue my commitment to the following:
Mind: Learning and Practicing Peace –> Whether it be reading a little each day for perspective, faith and inspiration. To mitigate allowing something or someone to disturb my mind / emotions. To do my best not to sweat things that I can't control or things that won't necessarily matter a week from now, a month from now or a year from now.
Body: Training–> To continue keeping yoga in my mix weekly, to maintain strong strength to weight ratios and get my sweat & music fix with a good run. (Still aiming for handstands, scorpion pose, muscle ups and human flag)
Spirit: To play more –> While I'll always continue to hustle, I want to make time to play more with friends and loved ones.
My goals for 2013 include the following:
1. Be more organized so my mind can relax. I have a tendency to be a bit scattered and this prevents my brain from ever shutting off. I have some organizational books that I plan to read and implement immediately to give me more peace of mind and down time.
2. To take even better care of myself. From my relatively recent back pain to managing my Hashimoto's, PCOS, and Adrenal Dysfunction, I want to focus even more time and energy on getting healthier from the inside out. I think the organizational goal from above will allow me more time to sleep, and it will also allow me to stress less, both of which will have huge impacts on my overall health.
3. To focus my energy on the highest-yielding tasks. Whether those tasks yield enjoyment, money, strength, peace of mind, etc. I want to focus the majority of my energy on the few tasks that yield the greatest results.
4. Be more present. This one is tough for me since my mind is always going a million miles a minute and I am always excited about the future. This is a constant work in progress.
5. Help more people. This goals seems somewhat vague, and I guess it is. But I plan on growing my brick-and-mortar business (J&M Strength and Conditioning) a lot this year. I also plan on ensuring that the GGS movement continues to grow and reach more women. Finally, I have several exciting information products coming out in the new year that I believe will be of a lot of value to a lot of people. So even if it's hard to directly measure, I have to believe that I will help WAY more people in 2013 than I did in 2012.
2013 is going to be a BIG year. I am so excited about all of the things that are to come and have to remind myself to stay focused and continue my hustle. Some of my areas of focus for the coming year:
1. Write more. This is a goal I strive to achieve every day of every year that passes. Writing is not only my livelihood, but my deepest passion as well–and no matter how much I write, it's never enough. 2013 is going to entail so many new projects, that I have to keep my writing mojo in check. Not only do I want to write more blogs, articles and work on projects, but I pledge to be more regular with my journal writing as well.
2. Do more Yoga. At the moment, I'm lucky if I get to class once a week. My travel schedule has been downright obscene, which means that I don't get to my yoga studio as often as I'd like, and so far my attempts at finding suitable classes on the road have proved unfruitful. While I do practice on my own while I am out of town, I very much enjoy the energy of a group practice. This coming year, I pledge to do whatever it takes to make my yoga practice more regular, because it is that integral to my overall wellness.
3. Spend more time with my son. While I see Isaac all the time, I'm not sure we spend enough quality time together. I have been so overwhelmed with work and school, that I've forgotten to play. Next year, I pledge to do more fun activities with Isaac, take him to more parks and museums, and spend more time reading with him.
4. Commit to loving my body. As I mentioned before, the travel has been insane. While jet-setting is exciting, and staying active on the road isn't that tough to do, it still takes a toll on your body. I'm not in the same shape I was in when I started this year, mostly due to the fact that I eat out far too often and my training sessions have turned into "workouts" due to travel…and I've been drinking too much wine ;). But the problem is not the shape I'm in, it's how I've beaten myself up about it. I am committing to nourishing my body without berating my soul, and that starts now.
5. Stay Strong. As I mentioned above, travel has taken a toll on my body, and although I always stay active, I have lost quite a bit of strength. It's easy to workout in a hotel gym or get in some sprints on the beach-but what about my big lifts? What about my absolute strength? I pledge in 2013 to keep strength as my main training focus, no matter where in the world I happen to be.
6. Become a better version of myself. Every minute of every day. Period.

Kawabata Yasunari (to give his name in its usual Japanese order, family name first) was one of the major Japanese novelists of the twentieth century, and the first Japanese writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (in 1968). His career spanned about fifty years, from the early 1920s until the early 1970s, and during this period – a time of tumultuous political upheaval and radical cultural change in the history of modern Japan – he produced novels considered exemplary for the unique way they blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with the latest Western modernist techniques. Although often described as an apolitical aesthete, Kawabata was actually a kind of "gentle" cultural nationalist and political …

First, if you've yet to take the opportunity, please go and read this blog post from Cheryl (Naptime Quilter).
I'll wait here.
Back? Wasn't it great? Okay, here were my favorite bits:
I feel like modern quilting has arrived. 2450 members in Fresh Modern Quilts, hundreds and hundreds in the Modern Quilt Guild, new books coming out all the time.
Speaking of, did you see this?
and this?
I'm dying with anticipation.
But anyway, I think arriving is only half of the battle. Now we've got to explore this destination.
I would love to see more bloggers showing their processes and talking about their processes. This can take the space once filled by fast, easy quilts. What does your design wall look like right now? Can I see a page from your moleskine? Do you have any cool fabric stacks laying around?
Does that make sense? To those of you who want to do more with quilts than use them to stay warm, will you push?
I said there was a second step. This is something that I've been thinking about for a while, but have been sitting on. In part, this is due to my position as admin and photo-approver for Fresh Modern Quilts. Let me just say, that what I'm about to say has nothing to do with which photos go into the Fresh Modern Quilts pool.
I don't think that everything ya'll call modern is modern.
I think a lot of it would be better labeled as contemporary.
I think a lot of it would be better labeled as geometric.
I think a lot of it would be better labeled as art deco.
I think a lot of it would be better labeled as millennial.
The reason I never say these things in public is because I think people would be offended if I said that I consider their quilts to be contemporary. But somehow the fact that the Modern Quilt Guild uses the word modern and modern seems to be the word of choice in new books coming out solves this problem for me. Fine, hey, the umbrella term for this wave of mutant quilts is going to be modern. Okay, so let's start naming the types of styles that fit under that umbrella.
Can we please?
I think this is crucial in terms for future mutants to understand where they are and what they are.
Again, I think an increased transparency on the part of bloggers and flickr users about their processes will help. For example, I'm trying to get a quilting bee that is inspired by mid-century modernism off the ground, if quilters in that bee can show where they get their ideas from, then that could increase everyone's understanding of one part of this visual universe.

1 (3- to 3 1/2-lb) chicken, cut into 10 serving pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 (14- to 15-oz) can whole tomatoes in juice
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup peanut or palm oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter at room temperature
1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (14 fl oz)
1 lb sweet potato
1 (10-oz) box frozen small okra, thawed

Stir water into tomato paste in a small bowl until smooth.
Pat chicken dry. Heat oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, without crowding, in 3 or 4 batches, turning over occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes per batch.

Presenter: Nabeel Alzahrani
Location: CSUSB Pfau Library, PL- 4005 (4th Floor)
Complimentary parking available at the kiosk.
Many computer users think they need to buy new computers because their current computers are acting odd, old, or slower than when they bought them. However, their computers behave abnormally or run slowly because they never perform proper check-up. In this lecture, Mr. Alzahrani will present simple procedure steps that will help users fix and protect their computers against these kinds of problems:
- Computer freezes and crashes
- Unexpected computer shutdowns or restarts
- Slow performance
- Unwanted pop-up windows, error messages, and ads
- Abnormal Windows behavior
- Identity theft, hackers, viruses, and other malware infections

Published Apr 17th 2011
Klympen is a simple and efficient fly for sea run browns, which should be able to catch many other kinds of fish
This is one of a bunch of flies used by my gang of Danish coastal anglers - a colorful group and a very peculiar group consisting of people with many years of experience between them. They tend to stay isolated and not make a big fuss, and also tend to keep their locations and their fishing experiences to themselves, and - not least - their flies.
This is the story about one of these flies - Klympen. The originator, Henning Eskol tells:
- This fly was invented on the Danish island Bornholm and first saw water at the location called Klympen, hence the name.
He continues:
- I tend to smash a lot of flies into the rocks with my low backcasts, and because of this I wanted a pattern that could be tied in a short time. I also wanted a heavy fly, but first and foremost something durable and simple.
It since developed into one of Henning's favorite patterns, and he tied it in many variations of which we will cover a few here.
Henning tells:
- I first used a long tail of teal in combination with flash, but have since boiled that down to other materials and sometimes no tail at all.
A current favorite is a small orange version, which has proved to be a good autumn fly.
The hallmark of the fly is the copper body, which consists of wire wound as a foundation and then wound on top of itself as a rib. With a bit of varnish (or even epoxy, Bug Bond or similar), this creates a solid, heavy and durable body. Apart from that the fly is basically a tail and a front hackle, and on many variations there isn't even a tail.
The copper body gives the fly mass and density, and is most likely one of the reasons for its success. It penetrates the surface easily and descends towards the bottom very rapidly, making it fish in deeper levels of the water than many of our usual coastal flies.
The variations are mainly some smaller tailless flies and some really bright and flashy orange ones. All have proven efficient, and all are quick and easy to tie and use few and common materials.
You can omit the varnish on the body, but the result is probably a fly that disintegrates quickly. The heavy copper will move on the hook shank when you cast the fly, get tarnished and/or brittle after just one trip in the water and very often break after touching rocks in the water or stones in the backcast.
Hennings own instructions are very brief. You will find a more detailed set of tying instructions below.
1) I first cover the whole hook shank with tying thread. It's important with a good foundation for the copper wire, which has a tendency to move.
2) I tie in the tail.
3) Time for the copper in the full length of the fly.
4) If I have the time I varnish the copper before tying the thorax.
5) Thorax consists of SLF in a dubbing loop.
6) When the head has been varnished and you have admired the fly, it's time for big, bright fish!
He doesn't mention the front hackle or the double layer of copper (to the back of the fly and forwards again), but you get the idea. He sometimes also adds a bit of flash to the tail.

Hi LoH
Depending on how much an object is deformed by modifiers, the Hot-point (centre axis) will change to stay in the centre of the object, which is why the deformed terrain is above the level where the flat terrain was.
There's no such thing as the floor but there are a couple of ways to move things to a specific point in carrara..
.. try this.
Select the terrain object,.. Switch to the Directors Camera (if you're not already using it),. then press " 0 " (zero)
this will Zoom the camera to fit the selected object into the view.
you can then manually position the terrain where you need it.
Or,..You can hit "Caps lock" and then adjust the position of any object's (hot-point) (the three R,G,B, arrows) without moving the object.
this allows you to position the hotspot on a specific point in the model, then you can move the model where you need it.
You can Hit Caps lock again to "lock the hotspot".
once the hotspot is locked, you can move it to position the object where you need it in the scene.
Use the split views, if you need to move things around in the scene, since it gives you an "overall" view of the scene from the Top, Left, front etc…
and it's much easier to select and move objects in a BIG way when you're not looking through your camera1.
Use the Directors Camera a much as possible for working in the scene,.
If you find a nice view / angle,. you can save that position in the Camera menu,. then change to your main camera, and load that saved position,. ..
another way to adjust the terrain is to use the "motion" tab on the right, which gives you the numeric values for X, Y, and Z,. you can adjust the Z (height) there.
Or you could create an object,... EG: a Target helper object,. then select your terrain and go to EDIT / ALIGN
you'll get a little pop up window with three arrows,. you can click on any, or ALL of the arrows to align the objects to the same point.
In the terrain editor, there's also a "filter" to Zero the edge of a terrain,. as when you add terrain generators like Mountain, they deform the sides of the terrain ,(so it can be Seamlessly tiled) .
If this isn't what you need,. you can add a "Zero edge filter" which will level the edges of the terrain, and allow you to adjust the filter effect
I hope some of that makes some sense to someone..

State and Local Home Sales Surge in 2012
December home sales dipped a bit, but 2012 was still a killer year for sales in La Crosse county and around Wisconsin in general. New report today shows that home sales surged by just over 20 percent around the state for 2012 over the year before, while the median sales price inched up by just about one percent. Much better in La Crosse county, where sales were up by 32 percent over 2011 with a median sales price that was about four percent higher for the year. In surrounding counties, home sales figures were much less impressive. Especially in Monroe county, where sales actually dropped by about 6 percent.

Now anyone can create an iTunes U course to be viewed on student iPads
Alongside the release of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, Apple also updated iTunes U to allow teachers (and virtually anyone) to create courses for the iPad. More specifically, the courses that are created can be shared and viewed in the iTunes U iPad app.
Now it's easier than ever to unleash the full potential of iPad in your classroom by creating your own courses for iPad. You get to share your ideas in a powerful new way, and your students get a rich, immersive learning experience using the iTunes U app for iPad. iTunes U is available no matter where you teach — at any college, university, or K-12 school.
It turns out that you actually don't have to be a teacher at all to create an iTunes U course. All you have to do is visit the iTunes U Course Manager page and create an account. However, the catch is that if your Apple ID is not associated with an educational institution, you cannot publish your course to iTunes U, but are given a link that you can share with whoever you want. When someone clicks on the link with their iPad, they will be taken to the iTunes U app and be granted access to your course. Apple ID's that are not associated with an educational institution are limited to creating no more than 12 courses and enrolling no more than 50 students per course.
This lower level of entry is awesome for teachers at schools that do not have an iTunes U account. For example, since the community college I teach at does not have an iTunes U account, I have never been able to create an iTunes U course to use alongside my courses. Now I can! Smaller K-12 schools may also not be interested in the hassle of creating an iTunes U account for their institution, but individual teachers can choose to use it anyway. This really was a smart move by Apple. Especially with the iPad mini's imminent release.
However, the biggest thing that iTunes U currently has going for it is its availability on the iPhone and iPad and the ability for anyone to be a "teacher". Personally, I will continue to use my own personal website to make content available to my students because of the restriction that my iTunes U courses must be viewed on an iPad. Availability on the iPad is awesome -- restricting to only the iPad? Not so much. (This is only the case for teachers who are not associated with an educational institution's iTunes U account). Now, my feelings may change if a large percentage of my students have iPads once the iPad mini is released, but with only 1 or 2 of my students owning iPads, iTunes U just isn't a practical choice for me.
From a student's perspective, if you're looking for a free online course that is not associated with an actual course you're enrolled in, there are similar services, like Udacity, that are much more robust and provide a better learning experience. I hope Apple is taking notes, because I'd love to see iTunes U reach a similar level.
In addition to the changes for teachers in iTunes U, the iTunes U iPhone and iPad app has also been updated for students.
iTunes U 1.2 now makes it easy to take notes while watching or listening to a lecture. This update also adds the ability to search within posts, assignments, notes, and materials — from any of your subscribed courses — using the improved Search feature in iTunes U. It is also now simple to share your favorite courses with friends using Twitter, Mail, and Messages.
So what do you think about these changes to iTunes U? Are you a teacher and planning to use iTunes U to supplement your class? I'd love to hear from students as well -- do you want your teachers to start using iTunes U? Have you ever taken an iTunes U course? What was it a good experience? Let us know!

Now anyone can create an iTunes U course to be viewed on student iPads
If the instructor's ID is associated with an educational institution, then yes. But for teachers like me who do not have an ID associated with a school, the links to our courses can only be viewed on an iPad :(
So can the course content be viewed on an iPod or is the app exclusive to just the iPad and iPhone as you stated in the article?
On the apple website it says that the app is available for the iPad, iPhone, iPod. My point is that I have encountered more students with iPods than iPad's and If you have a similar situation the iTunes U app could still be a viable option for delivering engaging content to your students.
Just a suggestion....

Abuja — The Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Dr. Chidi Odinkalu , saturday in Abuja called on the State Security Service (SSS) to release two journalists arrested last Monday.
Report had it that on Friday, December 21, Al-Mizan, a Hausa language newspaper published in Kaduna ran a story alleging that operatives of the Joint Task Force (JTF) had rounded up 86 youths in Potiskum, Yobe State. The story was also posted on Al-Mizan's website www.almizan.info.
Around 4am on Monday, December 24, two Al-Mizan workers, Musa Mohamed Awwal and Aliyu Saleh, were respectively picked up and taken away by heavily armed security operatives from their residences in Kaduna to undisclosed destinations. During the operation to take them away, both men were allegedly assaulted by the security operatives.
In a statement, Odinkalu said that SSS and other security agencies in Nigeria were obligated to comply with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in carrying out their important duties.
He called on the SSS to ensure the arraignment of the Al-Mizan journalists presently in their custody, if investigations had disclosed their complicity in any crimes or release them promptly.
He also requested the SSS to allow the detained journalists access to their families, medical attention or other legal representatives.
"This statement also transmits a request and an offer to the SSS to allow the National Human Rights Commission access to the detained journalists to independently verify their state of health and conditions of detention," Odinkalu said in the statement .
According to him, sections 35(4)-(5) of the 1999 Constitution require all persons arrested by the security agencies to be arraigned not later than 48 hours or within "such longer period as in the circumstances may be considered by the court to be reasonable."
He said: "Under the Constitution, any detention beyond 48 hours must be authorised by a court. The constitution also requires humane treatment of detainees and suspects.
"The continued detention of these two journalists without information as to their whereabouts, crimes for which they are suspected (if any), or conditions of their detention, does not pass constitutional muster."
He also described the circumstances under which the journalists were arrested. "At the residence of Musa Mohamed Awwal, his wife was also allegedly assaulted as she sought to find out the identities and authority of those who came to take away her husband.
"An adult son, who suffers from sickle cell and was also in the house at the time, was allegedly also assaulted before Musa Mohammed Awwal was taken away."
"From the residence of Musa Mohammed Awwal, the security operatives allegedly took with them a lap-top computer and eight cellular telephone hand-sets belonging to different members of his family. From the residence of Aliyu Saleh, they also allegedly took away cellular hand-sets.
"The security operatives reportedly did not identify themselves and did not directly accuse the two workers of any crimes during the course of this operation to take them away.
"On the same day, also in Kaduna, another set of security operatives visited the residence of the Editor of Al-Mizan, Ibrahim Musa, which was subsequently ransacked. Following the visit by the security operatives, a lap-top computer and modem were allegedly found missing, presumed to have been taken away by the security operatives. There was no search warrant shown to anyone on the premises before or during this visit. Ibrahim Musa remains in hiding.
"Following these security operations, the workers at Al-Mizan went around the various police stations in Kaduna to look for their colleagues. The Police denied holding them and sent around signals seeking confirmation as to their whereabouts.
The SSS in Kaduna State subsequently confirmed that the operation had been undertaken by the SSS and that the two workers had been transferred to the SSS headquarters in Abuja. They have, however, not been granted access to anyone - family or other representatives."

Bluewater's Productions will be releasing a new comic book about the life of author and feminist activist, Gloria Steinem. Female Force: Gloria Steinem is released on September 11 the comic book will be available in print and digital.
Gloria Steinem is an author, politician, activist, speaker, editor and infamous feminist! From creating Ms. Magazine to inventing Take Our Daughters to Work Day, Gloria Steinem is constantly surprising us! Learn the ins and outs of Gloria's eventful life from this new Bluewater comic book.
Melissa Seymour writes the 32-page comic book with art by Angel Bernuy.
"It has been incredible writing about Gloria Steinem. She has truly devoted her life to making the world a better place for women. Being a feminist, I really admire her commitment to activism and her continuing dedication to women's rights", says writer Melissa Seymour.
Publisher Darren G. Davis said, "Our goal is to show the behind-the scenes machinations - many of them ignored by the mainstream media - that resulted in Gloria Steinem becoming a leading voice in emerging women's rights movement. A visual medium provides perspective that is not only accessible but more relatable to the average person without losing any of the information involved".
Female Force has featured actors, politicians, authors, and musicians—everyone from Mother Teresa, Hillary Clinton, Tina Fey, Arianna Huffington, Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama, Melinda Gates to Martha Stewart and Madonna. These biographical comics, written by some of the most talented writers in the comic world and beyond, deliver an informed and illustrated look into the lives of these figures.
Bluewater has also used their Female Force series as an outlet to broaden awareness on important challenges that face many people. In "Female Force: Carrie Fisher," the former Star Wars actress bravely shares her lifelong struggle with bipolar disorder. Proceeds from the comic book sales are donated to Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut, a facility specializing in mental disorders. Likewise, Grease star Olivia Newton-John uses her "Female Force" issue as a platform to discuss her fight against breast cancer and raise awareness for the devastating disease.
Female Force has been embraced by the media and featured on several television news outlets including The Today Show, Fox News and on CNN. The series has also been featured in many publications such as Forbes, Ms. Magazine, and People Magazine.
Upcoming Female Force subjects include: Nancy Reagan, Adele & Helen Gurley Brown.
Print copies of Female Force can be ordered at Comic Flea Market here: http://bit.ly/13xUI1r
You can download these titles on Wowio, ComiXology, DriveThru Comics, Google Play, My Digital Comics, Overdrive, Iverse, iTunes, Kindle, Wowio, Nook, Kobo and wherever eBooks are sold.
