Kim Kardashian, Fred Durst, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Rob Lowe, and Hulk Hogan have all had sex tapes either stolen, "leaked," or sold, but they're celebrities (and some has-beens) we've seen a billion times before. Why is that of interest? Why aren't people going batshit over amateur sex tapes? Latina Sex Tapes, an "amateur" Mofos site focusing on women of South and Central American descent, serves up almost 200 exclusive POV-shot hardcore movies that take you into the bedrooms of total (but not complete) strangers to watch them fuck as only a real couple does. Ok, so there might be plenty of professional porn talent here, but that doesn't make Latina Sex Tapes any less thrilling… or does it?
Isn't every boy in gay porn a cocky boy? Well, in the sense that they're using their cocks to make a living, sure. Very few gay porn performers are as cocky, however, as the guys at Cocky Boys; they're tattooed young hunks who aren't so musclebound they're ridiculous or so slight they're in twink territory. Throw a couple (or a group) of these bad attitude boys together and guess what happens: they fuck each other senseless in glorious High Definition video! Cocky Boys can't rely on a rough and tumble attitude alone, though, so let's see how this site and its featured fellas measure up (in more ways than one).
Tainster might initially sound like a site devoted to the perineum, one of the male body's hidden pleasure zones, but inside lies something much more spectacular: a seventeen-site network of utterly fantastic fetishistic sex. Delivering its content in stunning 1080p HD video formats and 2000px photos, Tainster's many websites are often the outstanding websites of their respective niches. If you're into wild drunken orgies, watersports, WAM, or CFNM, or if you even know what those acronyms mean, you're bound to get a swift kick in the libido from this plethora of pornographic delights. Be warned, though: you won't feel quite the same after five minutes at Tainster, let alone a month.
Your own wife might be sexually disinterested, far from arousing, off visiting her mother, or enjoying her new life with her new man, but as long as you've got a little imagination and a persistent erection, Housewife 1-on-1 has plenty to offer you. A Naughty America website focusing on marital harmony exemplified in vigorous POV hardcore sex, this steamy adventure sees "you" seduced by "your" lively, lusty, and (usually) busty "wife." And hey, if you find "yourself" banging India Summer, Veronica Avluv, Anissa Kate, or Kagney Linn Karter… well, all the better!
Big-bootied African American women don't just populate hip-hop videos, they can now be seen filling the archives of Round and Brown, a Reality Kings site devoted entirely to presenting plump-assed black girls in supremely hot, scandalously decadent hardcore porn scenes. Always keeping the focus where it belongs, these ass-obsessed fuck flicks show every models' best side before (and while) laying her out for some deep and heavily cushioned pussy- and ass-pounding that'll have you salivating like a bulldog in heat sooner than you ever thought possible With fantastic HD videos and nearly 400 scenes already making waves across the African American porn scene, Round and Brown is the place to be if you wanna find a surrogate shorty and get low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low.
In its ten year history, the Reality Kings site, Cum Fiesta, has nailed hundreds of gorgeous amateur sluts, mature MILFs, and even the occasional off-duty pornstar, finishing off each girl with a messy, messy facial deposit. With HD videos and a 500-scene archive at your fingertips, a Cum Fiesta membership is one of the most desirable on the 'net and the perfect 'in' to the incredible 39-site Reality Kings network. Even if you're not specifically into facials, there's enough powerful hardcore sex scenes starring frisky, feisty babes to make Cum Fiesta's invitation impossible to decline.
A Tugjobs scene involves three things: a penis, a woman to stroke it, and something to spurt out near the end. It helps, though, if the woman in question has a deviant personality and love tossing of a few choice lines about what she's about to do next to her… would it be wrong to call him a victim? Tugjobs' manual stroking scenes show just how much porn's most sizzling women can do with just their hands and a little saliva - although Tory Lane's creative use of a string of pearls is a brilliant exception - and it's a delight to view in 720p HD videos. Nice one, Bang Bros!
Cosmid is a strange name for an adult website, yes, but Cosmid's M.O. is a necessary breath of fresh air in an industry filled with gaping assholes, cum-plastered faces, and screaming, screeching superwhores, presenting its members with a large, exclusive, and frequently updated collection of seductive tease and softcore nude content. With 720p HD videos and 1600px images on hand, Cosmid more than makes up for its signature lack of explicit nudity with real amateur girls, sedate yet sultry scenes and galleries, and an instantly identifiable sense of fun and flirtation. It might not introduce you to any new (and comparatively freakish) sexual acts, but Cosmid definitely confirms the idea that sometimes all you need to experience sexual bliss is an attractive girl with big, natural tits.

Mountaineers to Face Cincinnati
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – With postseason play quickly approaching, the West Virginia University women's basketball team knows that it still needs a few more wins to solidify its chances of making the NCAA Tournament.
The team has an opportunity to do that with two regular season games remaining, including Saturday's game at Cincinnati, where the Mountaineers (19-8, 9-5 BIG EAST) will take on the Bearcats (15-12, 6-8 BIG EAST) at Fifth Third Arena in a 2 p.m. tip.
West Virginia will be facing a Cincinnati team that comes into Saturday's contest on a four-game winning streak, and has won six of its last seven games with the only loss coming to No. 15 Georgetown. Its wins have come against Syracuse, Marquette (twice), Providence, Pitt, and Seton Hall.
"They're playing with a lot of confidence now and we probably aren't and we're playing at their place and they've won four in a row," head coach Mike Carey said. "We'll have to go up there and play."
Meanwhile, the Mountaineers head into Saturday's game looking to bounce back from two tough losses to No. 21 DePaul and No. 20 St. John's.
"I think the girls have worked hard and they've bought in but now we're going through a little bit of a lull that we have to come out of and come out of quickly," Carey said. "I tried to wake them up a little bit yesterday in practice and they responded very, very well and we just have to have a good practice today and go into the Cincinnati game and get better."
Junior guard Dayeesha Hollins paves the way for the Bearcats in scoring with 14.6 points per game. She's led the team in scoring in 11 games and is also the team leader in steals with 50 on the season so far.
Behind Hollins, senior guard Bjonee Reaves scores averages 13.2 points per game and presents the biggest threat from beyond the arc as she's made 71 treys this season.
With 2.6 threes per game, Reaves holds the second-highest 3-point average in the BIG EAST. Altogether, Cincinnati averages 5.6 threes per game on 31.6 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
Following Reaves and Hollins, redshirt-senior guard Chanel Chisholm is averaging 9.1 points per game.
Defensively, sophomore forward Tiffany Turner leads the Bearcats on the glass with 5.9 rebounds per game. Behind her, Chisholm pulls down 5.8 rebounds per game while sophomore forward Jeanise Rudolph averages 5.5 rebounds per game.
"Cincinnati has great guards; they shoot the threes but also have guards that can get into the paint and drive on you and create and make things happen and that's been hurting us here of late," Carey said.
Junior Asya Bussie currently leads the Mountaineers in scoring, as she averages 12.0 points per game in addition to 6.8 rebounds per game. She also leads West Virginia in blocked shots with 65 on the season.
Behind Bussie, redshirt-sophomore Christal Caldwell is second on the team in scoring with an average of 11.9 points per game. She's now recorded double-figure scoring numbers in each of the last 15 games including consecutive 20-point outings against Georgetown and Marquette.
Sophomore Taylor Palmer rounds out the top three in scoring, with 11.6 points per game including a team-leading 64 threes.
Defensively, West Virginia's scoring defense (50.8) ranks sixth best nationally while its field-goal percentage defense (32.5) is the third-lowest nationally.
Out-rebounded just twice in league play this year, the Mountaineers are led on the glass by redshirt-junior Ayana Dunning, who holds the fourth-highest rebounding average in the league with 8.6 rebounds per game. She had double-doubles during the last two games against DePaul and St. John's, with 12 points and 14 rebounds against the Blue Demons and 21 points and 16 rebounds against the Red Storm.
Behind Dunning and Bussie, Caldwell averages 6.4 rebounds per game.
"I read our stats off to the players as far as offensive stats and they haven't changed," ended Carey. "What has changed is our defense; we're not playing with the intensity we were playing with and we're not playing as hard and we're not communicating as much as we were in the past so there's where we have to pick it up. We can pick it up on defense and we can pick it up on rebounds and those are categories that we can't take a rest in. We have to continue to dominate the boards and we have to get stops."

Hang tight!
Recipe by none
"The quince is an old-fashioned, intensely aromatic, and dearly loved fruit. It is not an easy fruit to prepare, as it needs to be poached or cooked before it can be used in recipes. Quince paste is a wonderful accompaniment to cheese and crackers-try chevre as well as other mild, firm cheeses. You can also serve it for breakfast in place of jam."

I have just moved to a new house, and new country, and am blessed with a number of fruit/nut trees, one being a lovely good sized quince, have tried a number of recipes and this one is the simplest I have come across and easily competes with the rest. Thank You. as an added bonus most of the local comunity do not realise the many uses of this fruit for food and as a herbal remedy, always good to bring somthing new to the table, Thank you again
I halved it -- using 1 cup of sugar for 2 pounds of quince.
Still too sweet
7 Ratings
While preparing another quince recipe I discovered what a royal PITA it is to core and peel quince. So... when I looked at this recipe I decided to invert it. I halved the quinces, put them in a pot and barely covered them with water. Cooked for 40 mins or so until they were soft. Then I scooped them out with a slotted spoon and ran them through a food mill/ fruit and vege strainer aka the thing with the auger and screen that separates flesh from seeds and skins. I strained the liquid that remained and returned it to the pan and reheated it to dissolve the sugar. Remixed it all hot and was left with something the consistency of applesauce. The only thing I had to watch was that the volume of seeds can jam the auger so I had to clear it once. Huge time saver over peeling first, plus less waste.
This was outstanding! I was so excited to see this recipe on here, because I'm crazy about quince. The first time I tried them, I thought, "Where has this fruit been all my life?!" I think I added too much water, though, during the quince cooking stage. Next time I'll add a couple of cups to start with, and add more if needed. From 4½ pounds of whole quince, I got more than 5 lbs of quince puree! Like I said: too much water. It took a long time to cook down. I spread it into a pan and left it in a 100 degree F oven overnight (we have a "bread proof" cycle that was perfect for this). Wonderful! As good as the membrillo we had in Portugual. Perfect with crusty bread and slices of manchego cheese. It made a ton, so I'm giving away slabs as gifts to a select few!
This recipe was so easy! Someone at work brought some quinces in and didn't know what they were. He stated his grandmother used them all time when he was kid. So I make this paste and served it crackers, brie, cheddar cheese and it was the talk on the whole floor. The only problem it call for a lot of sugar. Next time I want to try stevia or splenida. Thanks for sharing.
This was so good! We ate it as a little sweet treat with meals. It was good alone or on toast. Great recipe!

Okay, for the next Spider-Man reboot, it's all Donald Glover. We haven't forgotten you, dude! The reboot after that, however, should star Josh Hutcherson, who clearly demonstrates that he has all the web-slinging, book-dropping, meathead-pummeling moves in his Spider-Man audition tape. On an unrelated note, if you see a guy throw your friend to the ground, jump twelve feet into the air and then backflip into a three-point stance…maybe you shouldn't keep trying to fight him? I know bullies aren't the brightest bulbs in the package, but jeez. On a very related note, those glasses! Eeeeee! Alternate film casting history squee!
Unearthed from the bowels of YouTube by Crushable today, Hutcherson's fighting demo for the film appears to be dated March 8, 2010. Which means if we got a time machine and traveled back with a DVD of the Hunger Games…no, that wouldn't be right. Andrew Garfield ended up doing an amazing job with the role; we just need to make more Amazing Spider-Mans to accommodate all the actors we want to see fighting bad guys and kissing upside-down. We mean, they were probably going to reboot it that many times anyway! Amazing Spider-Mans for everyone! On, and in case we didn't make it clear…those glasses!

Happy Friday! Do I have something to share with you! I am not much of a popcorn person but I was strolling through the grocery store on Wednesday evening picking up a few things which of course turns into yet another $100 trip to the grocery store. Is it just me or is everybody spending what seems like gobs of money just on groceries lately?
Sorry about that little tangent – So I was strolling up and down the grocery aisles with my memorized list feeling a little hungry. I decided to look for somewhat of a healthy treat and happened to stumble upon Gourmet Kettlecorn Popcorn. I read the bag, looked over the ingredients and thought sure, why not? I threw the bag in the cart, finished my shopping and checked out. Once in the car, I called my wife and told her that I got a treat… she was so excited and I knew she loved popcorn.
Arriving home, I pulled in the garage, unloaded the bags and immediately opened the bag of popcorn. We took a handful each and our eyes lit up like glow plugs. This popcorn isn't just good, it is amazing! I have never tasted anything like it in my life. Sweet, Salty, Crispy and Crunchy…. I was pretty sure I was eating junk food. To my surprise though, I discovered that it's made with whole grains and only 130 calories in 2 cups!!
Maybe I am living under a rock, but have you tried Gourmet Kettlecorn Popcorn before? It is excellent. Here is a peek at what the bag looks like. ( All pictures provided in this post are from http://popcornindiana.com.
I must be living under a rock because it appears that they have won a very prestigious award… see below:

I've been a big fan of Haru for years. Though it is a bit pricey, I've thought the food and service were worth it. I generally stop in to the 48th st. location once a month and order takeout up to twice a week. The past two months, there's been a weird dip in service and I'm not sure why. Twice in the past two months I've received orders that were incomplete and then had to wait an additional 30+ minutes to get my full order delivered. The most recent time, I asked to speak to a manager to confirm everything was, indeed, coming (as the delivery guy didn't speak English or understand that I hadn't gotten the full order) and the woman who got on the phone was both rude and dismissive. I explained that I'm a pretty regular customer and that I've been having issues recently. She countered with a mumbled 'Well the order's on me' and then hung up! (I was also still charged for the order.) There are plenty of places to order good sushi in Midtown. I've been loyal to Haru for years, but I will very easily find a new place for my business.
Posted by Anonymous Sushi Enthusiast on 12/30/2009
My wife and I are nuts about sushi and we owe it all to Haru. When we met and began dating a few years ago, she wouldn't touch raw fish and thanks to my pushing and the great appeal of Haru, we love it all the time. The only problem I have is that their spicy mayo tastes more fruit-infused than spicy and in my opinion can be ruinous to certain dishes. It doesn't mix well with ginger or wasabi and the earthiness of it hits you way too hard when you are trying to just get your spicy-something on. They should re-do this recipe as anyone who requests it will be expecting something with more kick and not a berry flavored asian compote.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/21/2009
First off, I do love Haru and their sushi. BUT, today me and friends at work ordered a ton of sushi, and were confused about why we were being charged over $20 more than the menu stated. Apparently, we were looking at the third avanue menu, as opposed to the park ave menu - an appetizer at 3rd is $5.50 less than at park, which charges $10. Really ridiculous, especially if you're ordering out and not sitting in the restaurant. Be sure to check which delivery menu you're ordering from!

Average food, weak drinks and way over-priced food. What's the point?
Posted by Anonymous on 11/11/2008
I eat here once a week for lunch. Not that I have many options for sushi in a close vicinity to my office, but its good for what it is. I wouldnt get too fancy there but for basic sushi and salads its good. The shrimp and mushroom sumai are very good too.
Posted by Anonymous on 08/01/2008
Good if you like rolls, I guess. Nothing to set it apart from the 100s or other sushi places that slop together gimmicky rolls. Go only if you have no other options. Maybe take tourists there for the "scene". Go elsewhere if you want real sushi.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/17/2007
I have never had a problem with any of their food, and actually have found them to be a really good go-to Sushi place. I first came across them on SeamlessWeb when my boss had me order from there for a meeting. Everything was actually really delicious and fresh. So good in fact that I decided to go to the 22nd and Park location. Great spot - really enjoyable!

Health officials say four more people have died in the national meningitis outbreak, bringing the number of deaths to 19.
The deaths are among the 247 people in 15 states sickened in the outbreak, which has been tied to steroid shots for back pain. Most have a rare fungal form of meningitis. Two have joint infections.
A specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts made the steroid, and federal officials are investigating the business.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated the count on Wednesday. There were two more deaths reported in Tennessee and one each in Florida and Virginia.
The CDC also said test results so far show infections with three kinds of fungus. Most were a form of black mold.

Roscoe's varsity teams and JV boys traveled to Rotan to begin their track season this past Saturday.
The Roscoe girls and boys placed fourth at their meets as they scored 73 and 59 points, respectively, while the Roscoe JV boys team edged Haskell's JV 129-128 to win its division.
Those placing in the top six are listed.
59 points (4th place)
Shot put — Juan Solis 4th (39-9)
Discus — Landon Jones T4th (106-6); Juan Solis 6th (93-1)
Long jump — Jose Rangel 6th (13-8)
High jump — Cody Graham 2nd (5-4)
These members of the Sweetwater High School boys powerlifting team have qualified for the regional powerlifting meet to be held Friday at Sundown High School. Seated from left are Zack Rosas, Kyle Lambert, Spencer Young, Anthony Palacios, Adrian Lopez, Alex Garcia, Mateo Gonzales, Sam Nemir, Ryan Linebaugh, Jose Garcia; front row, Hunter Johnson. Not pictured are Jay Lomas and Cory Burns. The top two in each class at the regional meet advance to the state meet in Abilene next week.
The Sweetwater softball team saw its record fall to 6-5 heading into a weekend tournament at Post after losing a 9-7 decision at Colorado City Tuesday.
Sweetwater had over twice as many hits (15) as Colorado City, but never led in the contest due in part to baserunning and fielding errors as well as pitching wildness, said coach Steve Roberts.
Kelsi Crosson led the offense by going 4-for-4 with a double while Alicia Finn had three hits and Suede Shirley (triple), Angela Garza and Kendra Crosson had two each.

T.P., Advanced Intermediate
"Just wanted to say what a fabulous weekend of tennis I had at Sugarbush. This was my fourth time to tennis camp but first time to Sugarbush and I must say I was impressed with the accommodations, the food, and the picturesque setting. Kurt and his team make learning and playing tennis so much fun. I always feel like I come home with a few new tricks in my bag. Thanks again for a great weekend!"
Tanya Dawkins, Advanced Intermediate
"I attended your tennis camp at Sugarbush last week from Wed. through Friday. Although the heat was daunting, the camp experience was wonderful. I thought your staff was incredibly professional and very enjoyable to work with. Having never been to a "camp," I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It was a delightful experience and I look forward to the two additional days I have committed to before the end of the session in October."

W.r.t. using /usr/share/sgml for the XML catalog this is the unfortunate result of SGML nutheads blocking XML from the LSB standard a few years ago, so Red Hat had to keep them there instead of a far more logical /usr/share/xml subtree ! W.r.t. XHTML 1.1 and SMIL 2.0, they are extensible languages, i.e. the basic language defined in the DTDs are supposed to be extended with foreign elements in different namespaces, which is actually something which doesn't work with DTDs, so the usefulness of shipping those 2 gets very limited, as DTD based validation will just fail in general (but Relax-NG or XSD schemas would work better though there isn't good ways to reference them for catalog access from the instances).

Ferrari are enduring yet another below par start to their season, and the popular theory is that the new V6 turbo engine built by the Maranello outfit is down on power and overweight, but it is now emerging that the F14T is also plagued with a major design flaw which is hampering downforce.
Autosprint have clamed that Ferrari's 2014 challenger "suffers from a congenital defect in the design" which "to put it in a nutshell, is too narrow."
However there is an additional problem facing Ferrari. Autosprint claim that sources within Maranello have revealed that in the effort to package the F14T as aggressively and effectively as possible, the extreme narrowing of the side-pods has sacrificed downforce.
In other words engineers have failed to optimise the balance between downforce and streamlining the F14T, too much emphasis on the latter being the root of the problem.
The issue is reminiscent to the problems suffered by Sauber last year with their C32, which was tightly packaged, but sacrificed valuable downforce as a result of the narrower sidepods.
This would explain why the F14T is quick to step out of line in medium fast corners, having caught out Fernando Alonso and more often Kimi Raikkonen on a number of occasions this season during race weekends and in testing. It has also proved to be quite a handful in the wet.
The engine issue, where the too small turbo is a problem and has no quick fix as the V6 power unit freeze is now well and truly implemented, with Mercedes clearly enjoying an advantage in this area. Autosprint suggest that Ferrari are expected to test solutions to the problem, with new wider sidepods on the list of items to be tested during free practice for the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend.

Cultural immersion, sans the passport
Immersing yourself in another culture is perhaps the best way to gain an understanding of the world. Yet, it is not necessary to jet set on an airplane or sail across oceans to experience cultural immersion. It can be found right here in America in our local backyards, neighboring towns and bordering states.
While my passport boasts the stamps of various foreign nations — England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy and Belgium, to name a few — I love exploring American soil. Oftentimes the richness of American hometowns, whether large or small, is enough to keep even the most frequent traveler busy and inspired.
As an avid traveler, I enjoy exploring new counties and states leading me to stumble upon unfamiliar cities and towns. My favorite aspect of traveling to new destinations is submerging myself in the area's culture and lifestyle. It is always so intriguing to learn new things and experience how others live, from their customs and language to their beliefs and simple way of life.
My latest opportunity for cultural immersion was during my inaugural excursion to Nashville to visit my younger brother. Having moved there just a few short months ago, my brother already knows where to find true local flavors, unique shops and vibrant markets.
We opted for walking as our major mode of transportation, allowing us to really get a feel for the energy and vibe of the city. Each of Nashville's neighborhoods provide a unique atmosphere complete with shopping, dining and nightlife options that offer locals and visitors alike a taste of the city's eclectic diversity — from hipster to ritzy all on the same block.
Music has been the common thread connecting the life and soul of the city and its people, and diversity plays a key role in the city's past, present and future as different cultures, religions, ideas and customs come together harmoniously in Music City. In a way, Nashville is a model of the American "melting pot."
Downtown Nashville is the hub of entertainment that defines Music City, where everything comes alive with exciting live music, great food and elegant hotels. Within blocks of each other, we encountered the Frist Center for Visual Arts displaying world-class art, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center where the city's Grammy award-winning symphony performs and the Bridgestone Arena hosting world-class concerts and events. And the legendary Ryman Auditorium, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and the Johnny Cash Museum are within walking distance of one another.
South of downtown's honky tonks and neon lights is an area called SoBro, filled with the new Music City Center convention center, hip new restaurants and trendy hotels. The Music City Center stretches six city blocks and houses the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Right next door is the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which is home to the largest collection of country music artifacts in the world. The building also houses one of my favorite Nashville sites, Hatch Show Print, one of America's oldest letter-press poster print shops that is still in operation.
After a meal in SoBro's culinary scene, we walked over the Cumberland River on the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge, which offers magnificent skyline views and serves as the gateway to East Nashville and LP Field.
No visit to Nashville would be complete without a stop by Opryland/Music Valley, an area known for outstanding entertainment, activities and shopping. We took our time exploring the notorious Grand Ole Opry and nearby Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.
While these three areas fulfilled my desire to play a Nashville tourist, it was four other smaller neighborhoods that fed my cultural appetite — Edgehill, Hillsboro Village, 12South and Germantown.
The trendy urban neighborhood of Edgehill with its loft apartments and chic boutiques offers a variety of unique, casual restaurants. Our favorite was locally owned and operated Taco Mamacita, where made-from-scratch and super-fresh eats are served up in a fun, laid-back setting with some of the best customer service.
Edgehill is close to the famous Music Row, an area home to hundreds of businesses related to the country, gospel and contemporary Christian music industries. Walking through the area we spotted numerous record labels, publishing houses, recording studios, video production houses and radio networks.
In nearby Hillsboro Village, a collection of specialty shops, boutiques and restaurants make for a perfect afternoon stroll. Comprising a four-block radius, the quaint neighborhood has rejuvenated the community and attracted young professionals with eateries like Jackson's Bar and Bistro and the Pancake Pantry, both must-sees in the village.
While the village may seem small, its one-of-a-kind stores abound like the BookMan/BookWoman Used Books offering more than 150,000 used volumes.
In the 12South neighborhood, one of Nashville's newest neighborhoods, we found everything from art galleries, music stores, coffee shops and cafés. In a neighborhood that I would call "hipster," in one afternoon we grabbed brunch at Frothy Monkey coffeehouse, enjoyed gourmet popsicles at Las Paletas and perused multiple old gas stations that have been refurbished and transformed into apparel stores, salons and home goods shops.
And it would be remiss not to mention Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, a small chain that builds its ice creams from the ground up with milk from grass-grazed cows and whole ingredients that the staff blends, bakes, peels, chops, pulverizes and blowtorches themselves. They use no flavorings, chemical dyes or off-the-shelf ice cream mixes, and you can really taste the difference.
Out of all the areas in Nashville, if I moved to the city I would relocate in the neighborhood of Germantown. Lined with beautiful Victorian buildings and homes, Nashville's oldest neighborhood has quaint restaurants and stores interspersed throughout the area. The neighborhood boasts more than 100 species of trees and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
On my final day in the city, we stopped by the new bakery and sandwich shoppe, flour. sugar. eggs., to indulge in a few fresh-baked pastries on the sidewalk patio.
By visiting so many different areas of Nashville during my trip, I was given the chance to experience a variety of customs and lifestyles. Each time I travel I realize the importance of embracing the destinations I visit and the significance of cultural immersion.
Whether trekking across the pond, over to the opposite side of the country or a few hours to visit my younger brother, traveling is always a great adventure.

Charleston Animal Society is offering free adoptions at its shelter from Wednesday, June 26 through Sunday, June 30. As the area's largest rescue organization and leading adoption organization in South Carolina, Charleston Animal Society finds homes for every healthy or treatable animal that enters its sheltering system.
With a record number of kittens and more than 800 total animals in its system (both in-house and in foster homes), the animal society is beyond its capacity and the animals are in dire need of homes. With help from PetSmart Charities, Charleston Animal Society aims to place 300 animals during the campaign.
"Traditionally, we see a great leap in the number of kittens coming into our system during the summer months, but never before has our situation been so urgent," explains Joe Elmore, chief executive officer of Charleston Animal Society.
"We don't turn animals away nor do we import highly desirable animals from other areas at the expense of local animals."
"In order to realize our goal of making Charleston a No Kill community by 2015, we need the public's help in providing these wonderful animals a new home," Elmore said. "Our rallying cry is 'make room for one more in your heart and in your home.'"
"Last June, we had in excess of 600 animals in our system, which was our all-time record. Right now, we have already exceeded that number by more than 200 animals. These totals have been driven up by the exceptional number of kittens brought to us, and we are committed to making sure they all find good homes."
All animals available for adoption through Charleston Animal Society come spayed or neutered, are fully vaccinated, microchipped and are eligible for a free health exam from most veterinarians. To get a jumpstart on the campaign, PetSmart gift cards will be given to the first 50 adopters on Wednesday.
Animals eligible for fee-waived adoptions are available at Charleston Animal Society's animal care campus at 2455 Remount Rd. in North Charleston. The shelter is open:
Wednesday, June 26 – Sunday June 30 from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Dogs from Charleston Animal Society are also available on weekends at PetSmart stores at 2076 Sam Rittenberg Blvd., West Ashley and 676 Long Point Rd. in Mount Pleasant. Adoption hours for these locations are:
Friday: noon - 5:30 p.m.
Saturday: 11 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Sunday: noon - 4 p.m.
Charleston Animal Society also has cats available every day at PetCo, located at 975 Savannah Hwy., West Ashley. Adoption hours are:
Mondays – Saturdays: 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.
Sundays: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
More information can be obtained at 843.747.4849 or through its website: http://www.charlestonanimalsociety.org.

Florida is home to an amazing array of fish, wildlife, and the habitats in which they live and thrive. With over 700 terrestrial animals, more than 200 freshwater fish, more than 1,000 marine fish, numerous other aquatic and marine vertebrates, and many thousands of terrestrial insects and other invertebrates, Florida literally is teeming with wildlife.
These multitudes of species are dependent upon the highly productive natural habitats of Florida, ranging from the tropical coral reefs of the Keys and the magnificent Everglades "river of grass" to the awe-inspiring array of first-magnitude springs and the quiet beauty of the rolling sandhills.

Panthers, like most cats, are solitary hunters. They are most active at the same time their prey is likely to be about: dawn and dusk.
Sea Turtles
Sea turtles, who are among the oldest creatures on earth, have remained essentially unchanged for 110 million years. However, they face an uncertain future.
FWC Facts:Florida panther kittens have dark spots that help them blend in with their den's surroundings and camouflage them from predators. They fade to a tawny brown as they become adults.

Council defers decision on city-county compacts
City Council members on Wednesday decided to delay taking action on several interlocal agreements until the ongoing sales tax distribution issue is settled.
During a morning-long retreat at the city municipal center, members of the Sanford City Council reviewed proposed interlocal agreements put together by an appointed subcommittee — composed of Lee County Commissioners Kirk Smith, Amy Dalrymple and Jim Womack and council members Samuel Gaskins, Poly Cohen and Rebecca Wyhof. The committee met last week and tasked the respective managers with drafting new agreements based on the subcommittee's recommendation. The drafted terms of the interlocal agreements were submitted to council by Lee County Manager John Crumpton.
For her part, Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive said, "I do not want to sign any agreements until we know something on the sales tax distribution."
Lee County has until April to change the sales tax distribution method from the current per capita system to ad valorem — pushed by the Republican majority on the county's board — which would provide a net increase of $1.4 million to the county, but a $1.3 million decrease for the City of Sanford. The Town of Broadway would also be impacted, losing about $100,000 if the change takes effect.
Gaskins said he believes the sales tax distribution will change and the city needs to be prepared.
"They have made promises of reducing the property tax rate," he said. "And the only way to do that is to change the sales tax."
Sanford City Manager Hal Hegwer said the city will be working with two budgets until the county commissioners make a decision.
"We need to keep in mind that this is not our revenue source," he said.
The city will have to make some cuts to relieve the shortfall in revenue, and the largest chunk of the general fund budget is personnel, Hegwer said.
Personnel-related expenses constitute nearly 70 percent of the city's general fund. The city's police department employs 106 positions, followed by the fire department (54 positions) and general government (46 positions). Community development, solid waste and street departments constitute the remaining 58 positions.
Hegwer said he hopes reductions in staff will come through early retirement; about 20 people currently qualify.
"We have people in all spectrums," he said. "Through the interlocal agreements, we can look at some reorganization. We are still waiting to see what the county is going to do."
A full list of the county's terms of the interlocal agreements are available at www.sanfordherald.com. The subcommittee is scheduled to meet again at 1 p.m. March 11 at the West End Conference Room.

North Creek As fat snowflakes fell on Main Street Dec. 27, Mike Bowers, co-chair of North Creek's Business Alliance, pointed out the window of the former Mountain and Boardertown space and said, "That's money."
The Saratoga-North Creek Railway is banking on the wintry weather for its snow train, which makes its first run the weekend of Dec. 30 and will continue weekends through March. The trip will mark the first winter passenger train to the Gore-side town in more than half a century.
Though the train will complement travel to the Gore ski resort this winter, Iowa-Pacific Holdings, parent company of the local railway, knows from other operations around the country that ski-season train riders aren't all seeking a day at the slopes. Some are tagging along with skiing and boarding enthusiasts, while others are simply tourists who want to enjoy North Creek in cold weather.
Part of the effort to bring more browsing options to visitors and keep them downtown is a re-opening of the Mountain and Boardertown space in the Grand Union Plaza, a storefront that's been shuttered for years.
During a tour of the store, Bowers grabbed an inspection tag from a fire extinguisher mounted near the entrance, checking its date.
"2007, that's how long it's been," he said.
Bower's construction company is working on the store for an artisan's bazaar. Iowa-Pacific is leasing the large store and in turn will lease to a juried selection of local craftspeople at a percentage of their sales. Bowers said they're hoping to create an inviting space that people want to spend time in.
A sitting area, a coffee counter — though not one so well-equipped that it will compete with Main Street coffee stops — and maybe even a concessions stand are all ideas floating around, though not yet tied down, said Bowers.

Countdown to Cambridge University Hospitals smoking ban at Addenbrooke's
Posted: November 27, 2013|
Smokers have little more than a month left to enjoy their habit at Addenbrooke's.
The smoking ban at the hospital site comes in on January 1, as reported in the News.
From the new year, there will be nowhere for anyone to smoke on the Cambridge University Hospitals campus, which includes the Rosie and the various research institutes.
Dr Keith McNeil, a heart and lung transplant physician and respiratory medicine specialist at the trust, said the ban is the right thing to do.
He said: "I have spent a large part of my professional life dealing with the terrible effects of smoking – deaths from cancer, emphysema and lung transplantation. As well as this smoking costs the NHS and society billions of pounds each year.
"As a leading healthcare organisation we should be encouraging a healthy lifestyle and smoking is not part of that. I know how hard it is to quit and I want to do everything I can do to support staff and patients to give up.
"It's only right and proper that we lead by example, and make Cambridge University Hospitals a smoke-free campus."
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) released guidance yesterday recommending that all NHS secondary care settings are smoke-free.

I assume that by 'here' you mean the UK.
First, you offset the expenses of writing (and shooting, and travel) against the article, so you're being paid (not much, it's true) to do the things that most people do as a hobby.
Second, the tax rate doesn't start at 40%. There's a personal allowance (zero band) followed by at least two lower tax rates, if I recall aright. Many journalists never reach the 40% band (I should know...)
So unless you have other income, or are doing very well indeed from your journalism, you don't pay 41%. When I left the UK I was paying between a thousand and two thousand a year in tax, which was not 41% of even my income.
Or am I missing something?

Oscar Pistorius' lawyers appeal bail conditions
Mar 11, 2013, 9:58 AM EDT
Oscar Pistorius's lawyers filed an appeal Friday against the bail restrictions imposed on the Blade Runner after he was charged with the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, last month.
"The conditions appealed against are unwarranted and not substantiated by the facts," read the appeal, which was released to the Associated Press by the Olympian's family via email Monday.
The current restrictions handed down by the South African Magistrate require that Pistorius relinquish his passports and firearms, stay away from his home and neighbors, refrain from using drugs and alcohol, and restrict him from leaving Pretoria without official permission.
Pistorius shot Steenkamp three times on Valentines Day morning through his bathroom after he claims he heard a noise that he thought was an intruder in his house. Only after he had fired did he considered it might have been Steenkamp. He saw he had shot her, called paramedics, and carried her downstairs to wait for help to arrive. She died in his arms. He bawled in court as his statement was read last month.
The appeal argues that there is "no basis in fact or in law" for the terms, and that evidence at last month's hearing proved that Pistorius is not a flight risk and should be allowed to leave the country so long as he has official permission from the court. It also suggests that the sprinter should be allowed to consume alcohol, and that he should be able to return to his home once officers complete their investigation.
"He's not under house arrest, but his movements need to be known to us so that we don't pitch there and he's not there," said chief deputy commissioner James Smalberger. "We agree on free time normally during the course of the day, and in the evening we expect him to be home."
Pistorius has been staying with his uncle Andrew, where officials will visit him four times a month until the trial beings in Pretoria on June 4.

Gotta love the legal maneuvering, but wow is his lawyer making him sound like a tool. Checking these restrictions out one by one:
Relinquish his passports… The most legitimate complaint since that would keep him from competing out of country, though easy to see why the don't want him leaving and never coming back.
Relinquish his firearms… You've just shot your girlfriend dead in a supposedly horrible accident. Would you EVER pick up a gun again?
Stay away from his home and neighbors… Again, the tragic accidental shooting was at the home. You'd be upset about not being able to go back there?
Refrain from using drugs and alcohol… I suppose the alcohol could be argued
Restrict him from leaving Pretoria without official permission… Inconvenient, but he is on trial for murder, after all. Ties back into the "we'd really prefer you actually be here when your trial happens" bit.

Sweeney is the typical Democrat that has hurt our state for years. He thinks that the way Christie acts is bad, he needs to not look far at himself! His words speak of a lack of professionalism as a politican who represents you and me. He does represent the Democratic party that used to get everything it wanted including our votes! He just lost mine and maybe yours for "what comes from your mouth is in yoru heart" Would you stand by his side and say his actions are correct? You'd correct your children for such actions.This is the real Sweeney and we don't need a bully, abusive minded embarrassment to represent us!
If he had any character, and not as much PRIDE and EGO, he would humbly apologize to the Gov and all of us for his actions. What makes him better than Christie ? If you like him and vote for him it puts you in the same boat called character. I don't believe we are in his boat.

Mum and daughter from Leicester jailed over £56,500 benefits scam
Posted: February 04, 2013|
A mother and daughter involved in a benefit fraud scam have both been jailed.
Dahiben and Nutan Patel claimed £40,000 of housing benefits they were not entitled to.
When questioned about her fraudulent activities, Dahiben Patel told investigators: "Well, everyone is doing it."
Leicester Crown Court was told Dahiben Patel had thousands of pounds of savings in secret accounts and purchased a £9,300 holiday home in Gujarat, India. The 62-year-old, of Kashmir Road, St Matthew's, Leicester, was jailed for nine months. She admitted 11 counts of benefit fraud in relation to housing and council tax benefit and income support, totalling £56,533. Her daughter, Nutan Patel (42), of Thorndale Road, Thurmaston, was also involved in jointly dishonestly obtaining £39,970 of that amount. She admitted five counts of benefit fraud and was jailed for six months.
Sentencing, Recorder Stuart Sprawson told Dahiben Patel: "You minimised your involvement in a sophisticated enterprise. Your throwaway remark, that everyone was doing it, reflects your insincere attitude towards your offending and lack of remorse."
He said her daughter had "expressed more insight" and he accepted she behaved uncharacteristically.
Rhona Campbell, prosecuting, said Dahiben Patel originally made a legitimate claim for income support in 1988, which became illegal 10 years later. She amassed savings but did not declare her capital, which affected her eligibility for state benefits, from 1998.
She also falsely claimed to be a tenant at an address owned by her daughter and payments went into a joint account between them, in 2000 and 2011.
Miss Campbell said their "housing benefit scam" involved forged documents, including a bogus tenancy agreement.
At one stage, mother and daughter lived together in Bardolph Street, Belgrave, which Nutan Patel purchased in 2000. Payments were made on the basis they had no relationship with the landlord.
Miss Campbell said Dahiben Patel only revealed savings of £330 in a Barclays account when she had "significantly more".
She had fluctuating balances including a unit trust account from 1997 of between £2,000 and £3,700, a £6,700 mini cash ISA, a £1,000 investment account, a joint HSBC account with £5,300 and between £1,000 and £3,000 in another account.
Miss Campbell said: "She held those monies while claiming off the state on the basis she had nothing at all. She also acquired a holiday home in Gujarat whilst falsely claiming."
The defendants face having assets seized in a forthcoming proceeds of crime hearing.

Video: No-Bake Sweet Potato Pie
Last year I made a NO-Bake Apple Pie that I loved so much I really wanted to come up with some more "No-Bake" Pie ideas.
I mean basically I just pick a pie, think of all of the flavors and ingredients that go into it and then SIMPLIFY!!
Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE to bake, but when a sweet tooth rolls in at 6 O'clock on a Tuesday night I am not about to bake myself a pie, if ya know what I mean?! It's just not happening.
This is exactly where a no-bake pie is perfect!
It gives me all of the flavors and textures of the real deal with HALF THE HASSLE, IN HALF THE TIME!
Two sweet potatoes will give you about four servings and I find that whatever is leftover from dessert makes a great breakfast the next morning!!
I haven't tried it yet, but I bet it would be pretty dang tasty mixed into some pancake batter as well!!
And remember, if you need a refresher on how to handle a sweet potato, be sure to check out my "Sweet Potato 101″ video.
No-Bake Sweet Potato Pie
Yield: Serves 4
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 2 tbsp. of earth balance
- ¼ cup of maple syrup
- 2 tsp of cinnamon
- 1/3 tsp. of nutmeg
- A pinch of salt
- ½ cup of grape nuts
- ¼ cup of pecans, chopped
Steam sweet potatoes for eight to ten minutes or until nice and tender.
While you're potatoes are steaming combine one tsp of cinnamon with the grape nuts and chopped pecans. This will be you're topping!
Once the sweet potatoes are done cooking, transfer them to a large bowl and using a big fork to begin mashing. Keep on mashing until most of the big chunks are gone.
Add in the butter, syrup, and the rest of the cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined (… take a taste… smile!).
Scoop about ¾ cup of sweet potato pie filling into a serving bowl and top with a couple of teaspoons of the grape nut mixture and a dollop of whipped cream… enjoy!

oh, dani…you did it again–yummy yams!
It's a gray day, and I'm exhausted from flying around the country and having a grand old time, So I checked my email and there you were with ANOTHER great video with your upbeat style!
Thanks for being here in cyberspace. It feels like you're right here with me cheering me on.
Jeanie – It sounds like you could use a little NO-Bake Sweet Potato Pie:)! If I could, I would make some for you!!
Hey Dani! I just tried this recipe but with mucho substitutions, and it was soo deelicioius. I had leftover butternut squash so I used that instead, I had no maple syrup, so I went with a agave, and I had no grapenuts so I used some Kashi granola and it still came out so yummy. Thanks for an awesome, healthy recipe!! You rock!:):)
Yolanda – I'm so happy you subbed in your own ingredients!! After all, a recipe is really just a guideline…it's an idea for you to take and make your own!!
Yum! Love this! So easy but so delicious. You can't go wrong with sweet potatoes too. They are so yummy and the perfect fall ingredient.
I love your video's too! Looking forward to meeting you at BlogHer Food!
I know this was posted a while ago but I am just finding your website and am in love! I wanted to ask 2 questions…. First, what kind of pot is that? I don't currently have one with a steamer basket and need to add that to my stash. Secondly, what is that you are getting your salt from? I always just get my kosher salt from a box when i need it but that looks very handy.
Thanks! I am currently 38 weeks pregnant with my third child and hope you are feeling better. Morning sickness is the worst!!
Can pumpkin pie spiced be instead if the measured spices???

Hinds football to host Jones in final home game of 2012October 9, 2012
RAYMOND – The final home game of the 2012 football season for the Hinds Community College Eagles will be played at Joe Renfroe Stadium in Raymond on Thursday night.
Hinds will host Jones County Junior College in a 6:30 p.m. start. The Bobcats are currently ranked 19th in the latest National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) poll.
The Eagles are coming off a 38-14 victory last Thursday over South division rival Southwest Community College. The win moved the Eagles to 3-3 overall and 1-3 in the South division.
Hinds freshman quarterback Anthony D'Angelo (Long Beach) was highly effective in the win against the Bears, completing 18 of 26 passes for 197 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. His top target was wide receiver Quantavius Leslie (Hogansville, Ga.), who finished with eight catches for 135 yards and a touchdown.
The defensive line of Hinds, led by Dontrill Hyman (Warsaw, N.C.) and Risean Broussard (Lake Charles, La.) stifled the Southwest rushing attack by holding the Bears to -45 yards rushing and picking up seven sacks on the night.
Hyman finished with 2.5 sacks to increase his team leading total to seven, while Broussard had two sacks of his own to move his sack total to 5.5 on the season.
Jones enters Thursday night's game fresh off a 46-21 victory over East Central Community College last week. The Bobcats are now 4-2 overall and 3-1 in the rugged South division.
The Bobcats offense is led by quarterback Ben Stevens, who is currently 106-184 with 1,369 yards passing, eight touchdowns and four interceptions. Jones also pounds the ball on the ground, led by running back Reuben Duckworth, who has 685 yards rushing and eight touchdowns on 126 attempts.
The linebacking corps of Damien Wilson and Marion Chapman lead the Jones defense. Wilson has 80 tackles (50 solos, 30 assists) on the season, while Chapman has 67 tackles (41 solos, 26 assists) thus far.
To hear the game live go to www.hindsccsports.com. Russ Robinson and Doug Garland will have the call.

US Denies Yemeni Investigators Access to Guantanamo Bay
The United States has denied a team of investigators sent by Yemen access to its naval base at Guantanamo Bay where they wanted to question Yemeni detainees, a senior official said Saturday.
"The investigators did not make it to Guantanamo. They flew back home from London after US authorities notified us that they would not be allowed to meet the detainees for the time being," the official told AFP.
He declined to say why the team had been turned back however added, on condition of anonymity, that it would "go to Guantanamo in the next few weeks after obtaining US authorization."
Sanaa announced on February 20 that a team of investigators had departed for Cuba to take part in the interrogation of Yemenis held at the Guantanamo base.
The weekly September 26, mouthpiece of Yemen's defense ministry has reported that 32 Yemenis were amongst the 300 Taliban and al-Qaeda prisoners from the Afghan war held in "Camp X-Ray".
September 26 reported in January that Yemeni investigators wanted to obtain information from the detainees likely to help the probe in the October 2000 bombing of the destroyer USS Cole in the southern Yemeni port of Aden which killed 17 US sailors.
Washington suspects the Cole bombing was masterminded by Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect in the September 11 attacks on the United States and head of the al-Qaeda network. (Albawaba.com)

Video game publisher Aksys Games is bringing Ragnarok Tactics, a strategy RPG based on the Ragnarok universe, to North America as for the Sony PSP.
Developed by Apollosoft and Chime, Ragnarok Tactics features an epic original story with numerous warring factions and multiple endings. The game will have an all-new battle system with some familiar Ragnarok universe job classes, creatures, and culture.
Ragnarok Tactics will allow for players to interact with others through the PSP's Ad Hoc capabilities. Through these interactions, players will be able to exchange weaponry and engage in "extra battles" both another player's units. Furthermore, customized characters can be created by players -- complete with modifiable skills, statistics, and job classes.
The game's story follows an ancient and ferocious war that has since come to be known as the Holy War. It was during this bloody conflict that humanity erected a magical barrier to keep both gods and demons from overrunning their world. Once the war was over, it was believed that peace would return. However, humanity soon began to turn on itself, and war began anew. While a truce had been reached between the Branshaldo Empire and their rival, the Aura Republic, the people of the war-torn know war could resume at any time.
Ragnarok Tactics yas not yet been rated by the ESRB.

ECN's Tale of Two Veterans
The military deserves our eternal gratitude, and this Veterans Day, we extend our heartfelt appreciation for their immeasurable sacrifices...for their blood, sweat, and tears shed in defense of this great nation of ours.
You may not know this, but Electronic Component News has two veterans in its midst.
Your humble author, formerly 2nd Lieutenant Lomberg, served three years in the Army Reserve. I enlisted in 2007, and shortly thereafter, went to Officer Candidate School (OCS) in Fort Benning, Georgia. OCS is a rigorous 12-week course designed to mold green civilians (or grizzled veterans) into commissioned officers in the United States Army.
Distinguished OCS graduates include: William F. Buckley, Senator Bob Dole, General Tommy Franks (former CENTOM Commander), Caspar Weinberger (former Secretary of Defense), Major Dick Winters (of "Band of Brothers" fame), and Jackie Robinson (yes, that Jackie Robinson).
After my commission as a 2nd Lieutenant, I joined the 2nd Battalion 309th Regiment, 72nd Field Artillery Brigade, based out of Fort Dix, New Jersey (unit crest seen to right). Our overarching mission was to train mobilizing units (to Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) in basic soldiering skills and cultural immersion. The 2nd/309th's duties were myriad: administering weapons ranges, Humvee rollover training—Humvee Egress Awareness Trainer (HEAT), Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) training, and more.
I stayed at Fort Dix for the duration of my time in service.
My Editor-in-Chief, Alix Paultre (formerly Specialist Paultre), was on the frontlines during the Cold War. Before he became a superstar in the electronic design community, Alix was digging foxholes, eating C-Rations, and spying on the ruskies.
Alix attended Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri (aka "Fort Lost in the Woods") in 1978. Given the choice between Fort Dix and Fort Leonard Wood, Paultre chose the latter (he'd "already seen New Jersey"). Alix went to Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, Texas. It was there that he learned his trade as a 98C (Electronic Warfare Radio Traffic Analyst). For the curious, I was a 25A (Signal Corps Officer)...Officers are generalists, while Enlisted personnel are specialists (not to be confused with Alix's military rank).
From there, Alix deployed to Baumholder, Germany, where he joined the 415th Army Security Agency, 8th Infantry Division. The 415th fell under the NSA's jurisdiction before being integrated into the 108th Military Intelligence Battalion. In Baumholder, Alix built the foundation of his career as a tech editor.
While deployed on the East Germany border, Alix performed live intel missions. He monitored communist transmissions and was literally on the front lines of the Cold War. If the bombs started flying, Specialist Paultre would've been the vanguard of the West, standing between Soviet tanks and the free world. Luckily for him (and future generations), it never came to that.
After his discharge from the Army in 1983, Alix remained in Germany for an additional 13 years. From 1987-1991, he was a Sales Manager for Anheuser-Busch, and served as AB's point man for Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Alix assumed various other sales positions, often working within the PX system. Eventually, he found his way to a humble electrical engineer trade magazine.
ECN is the premier source for the electronic design community, and has served in such a capacity since 1956. But our expertise extends beyond ICs and semiconductors. Next time you see Alix, ask him about his time in Germany...
Happy Veterans Day!
