THE BOOKMAN'S TALE. By Charlie Lovett. Viking. 347 pages. $27.95.
"The Bookman's Tale" is three stories in one: a tragic romance, a deadly mystery and the history of a book that might prove that the works of William Shakespeare actually were done by William Shakespeare.
Each of these stories is fabulous, and Charlie Lovett moves deftly among the three, each of which has bearing on the others, to create a wonderful "Bookman's Tale."
While working in the Ridgefield University library, Peter Byerly falls in love with books and Amanda Ridgefield. A decade later, after her death, a deeply distraught Byerly moves to the home the couple bought in England and soon becomes caught up in a complex investigation that could prove or disprove Shakespeare's legitimacy. It's an outcome someone is willing to kill over.
The historical part starts in 1592. As time goes forward, the reader gets to witness Shakespeare writing the words that will prove his identity once and for all. Given that the mystery part of the book is about whether those words are real or forged, this seems like cheating, but it's not.
"The Bookman's Tale" is just one of those books that you can't stop reading until you find out what happens, but you're a bit sad when you get to the end because you want more.
Reviewer Carol Edwards is a freelance editor and farmer living in Marlboro County.

In 1375 Edward III issued a writ in the Tower of London confirming the Charter of the Guild of St Bride. Its first purpose was to maintain a light to burn before the statue of St Brigide the Virgin. Later on, members of the Guild employed a chaplain to say Mass before the statue. The Guild continued until 1545 when it was swept away by Henry VIII.
Although the Guild was not active again until it was restored by Cyril Armitage after the Second World War, it maintained its identity. The Rector and Churchwardens continued as trustees of its funds, half of which went in 1893 towards the St Bride Foundation Institute.
In 1975 His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales paid his first official public visit to Fleet Street when he attended a service in the presence of the Lord Mayor and the Bishop of London. The occasion was the 600th anniversary of the Guild.
The Guild consists of men and women who undertake to assist in the conduct of public worship in St Bride's. Each Sunday morning ten guild members are on duty and six at Evensong. The livery consists of a russet gown in accordance with Edward III's Sumptuary legislation. Guild members also wear a medallion with a Celtic cross on the flame-coloured emblem of St Bridget's perpetual fire encirlced with grapes and vine leaves and surmounted by a representation of the medieval curfew bell.

Tropical Storm Isaac: Wind damage in Lake Worth
LAKE WORTH, Fla.-- Residents living near 14th and North D Street reported storm damage Sunday afternoon, shortly before a tornado watch was canceled by the National Weather Service.
Residents reported a tornado, but that has not been confirmed.
For a time downed tree limbs inhibited vehicles from passing.
Arriving fire crews found several trees down and power out in the area.
A section of a shed was damaged and a debris from a wind-tossed gazebo landed on a power line.
"We were watching the wind blow and all of a sudden this big, loud twirling noise happened and we watched in astonishment as this big wind came through here and everything was just way over, like we watched it go through here," resident Liz Kowalski said.
This story will be updated when more information is available.

Fortunately, the landslides were detected before it occurred, so everyone was evacuated and there were no injuries.
The slides moved at 70 miles per hour and hit 100 mph at times.
It is not unusual for earthquakes to trigger a landslide, but this is the only landslide known to have done the opposite.
Scientists say what is really important is how these slides can help save lives in the future.
"So when this slide occurred, nobody was hurt or killed," said Jeffrey Moore, an Assistant Professor of Geology at the U of U. "Landslides of this size across the world kill people. They move at extreme speeds and if they're not detected they can be quite deadly."

Review quote
The last posthumous work of one of the greatest of all scholars of Judaism in Graeco-Roman antiquity...Note the power and brilliance, as well as the (as ever) bold and controversial character of its representation of Judaism and Jewish history in the period between Alexander and the Maccabees. -- Fergus Millar Journal of Jewish Studies Highly readable and packed with information, much of which will be new even to those with some knowledge of one side or the other, Jewish or Greek. -- Jasper Griffin New York Review of Books [Bickerman] displays the qualities of a great historian: mastery of primary sources, wide learning in other areas, careful yet often bold judgments, and ability to write a lively narrative. -- Daniel J. Harrington Theological Studies
Back cover copy
One of our century's greatest authorities on the ancient world gives us a vivid account of the Jewish people from the conquest of Palestine by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.E. to the revolt of the Maccabees. It is a rich story, of Jewish social, economic, and intellectual life and of the relations between the Jewish community and the Hellenistic rulers and colonizers of Palestine - a historical narrative told with consummate skill.

May 26, 2009
Over the years there have been a lot of prime time TV shows set in hospitals.
Whether people watch the shows themselves or hear from friends, there is the tendency to talk about medical information that they remember hearing somewhere, even if they don't remember exactly where. This can complicate things for both doctors and patients who then need to sift through the truth and the fiction when a real diagnosis is given.
"[M]any shows rely on consultations with doctors and medical experts... That doesn't mean, however,that they get everything right. Experts say medical dramas often inaccurately portray organ donation, the range of doctors' expertise and nurses' roles, not to mention the level of hospital romance that takes place. 'If you want to learn how to treat your kidney stones or your kid's rash,' says Bob Thompson, director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University, 'you should no more watch a medical drama to get accurate information on how to treat symptoms than watch "The Simpsons" or "Married With Children" for clues on how to raise a child.' Sounds reasonable. The problem is people get a lot of information from TV shows on many subjects -- including medicine and health care -- without realizing it. After a while, you may not remember where the details or your impressions came from, you're just sure they're true."
When there is truth mixed in with fiction, it can be difficult for some to know which is which. While some inaccuracies are harmless or funny, it can be frustrating for medical professionals when they see potentially dangerous medical inaccuracies portrayed.
"Talk to medical professionals hooked on medical TV -- they're easy enough to find -- and you'll find they have a love-hate relationship with the shows. They pretty much love to hate everything the shows get wrong. 'I enjoy these shows because they are so unrealistic that I don't feel like I am at work,' says Suzanne Miller, MD, a recent Stanford emergency medicine resident who is starting a practice in Washington, D.C. ... But underlying the wacky story lines, these shows do offer a few grains of truth about the world of medicine, say the professionals. Residency is really hard work, medicine is an art not a science and doctors wrangle daily with ethical issues. ... The funny thing is, many doctors and students take the shows seriously. Their senses of humor flatline when confronted with inaccuracies they deem dangerous."
Wherever the information is coming from, if it is presented in an engaging way (which most television shows hope to do), it can be memorable. As those memories solidify, people build an expectation for reality based on what they have seen time and time again--even if they have seen it in a fictional setting.
"For UF [University of Florida] health experts, one of the biggest transgressions a television producer or moviemaker can commit is an inaccurate portrayal of a disease and its symptoms. 'If things are being portrayed inaccurately or misrepresented by description, that is potentially dangerous to people. It is, to an extent, medical education for the patient because people tend to internalize what they see and read, for better or worse,' Holtzman says. 'That is probably the biggest thing I would like to see portrayed accurately.' A 2003 article in the journal Sociology of Health & Illness showed that 'ER' viewers found the show to be not just entertainment, but also an information source. And a 2002 study in the European Journal of Medicine found an association between watching medical dramas and overestimating survival chances following CPR."
While doctors are bothered that patients are being confused by inaccurate or potentially dangerous information, it is not just the patients who are being fed misinformation.
"When physicians at an Alberta hospital asked why so many medical students and residents were using a faulty technique for inserting life-saving breathing tubes in patients, they received an unexpected answer: It's television's fault. Many of the doctors in training said they had learned the procedure from watching medical dramas. And a subsequent analysis of the show ER revealed its fictional MDs and nurses performed intubations incorrectly almost every time. The findings, just published in the journal Resuscitation, revive an intriguing debate over whether entertainment TV has an obligation to portray medicine accurately, and underline what some see as chronic flaws in the system of training Canada's physicians."
Sometimes the information can be dangerous; sometimes it can be confusing. Sometimes it can lead patients to think that there are treatment options available that may not be a good idea in real life.
"The two-hour [season finale of Grey's Anatomy] depicted Izzie and her fellow doctors agonizing over how to treat her melanoma -- a deadly form of skin cancer -- that had spread to her liver, bowel and brain. Because of the location of her brain tumor, doctors presented her with two unattractive options: surgery that could leave her with severe memory problems or a highly toxic drug called interleukin-2, or IL-2. In fact, doctors never recommend IL-2 for melanoma that has spread to the brain because it can cause bleeding and strokes, says Otis Brawley, chief medical officer at the American Cancer Society. If doctors are concerned about the risks of surgery, they recommend radiosurgery, in which doctors focus intensive radiation on the tumor, he says."
Questions of the Week:
Do television shows (such as "House" and Grey's Anatomy") have a responsibility to portray medical information accurately? Do you think it would affect how viewers interpret the information if there was a disclaimer at the beginning of each episode? What should you, as a viewer, keep in mind as you are watching TV programs that portray medical situations and information? Based upon conversations you have had, how factual do you think your friends and family members think fictional medical shows are? If you watch medical TV shows, do you ever question the accuracy of the medical information discussed?

Andy Vallis' World of Sport: Bristol City close in on new striker
Posted: January 06, 2014|
FOOTBALL: Bristol City are hoping to complete the loan signing of Peterborough striker Tyrone Barnett. The clubs have reached agreement on a loan deal for the 28-year-old to join City until the end of the season if he passes a medical examination at Ashton Gate tomorrow. He could join his new team-mates for training on Wednesday and make his debut in Saturday's League One fixture at Bradford. Peterborough paid Crawley £1.2 million for Barnett's services in May 2012, but he has made just 30 starts in that time, although he has scored seven times this season. Ipswich Town are also reported to be interested in taking Barnett, who had a short loan spell at Portman Road last season, but the former Macclesfield trainee jumped at the chance to join City instead.
FOOTBALL: Ian Holloway has been appointed Millwall manager, the club have confirmed on their Twitter feed. The former Crystal Palace and Bristol Rovers boss, who left Selhurst Park in October, has agreed a two-and-a-half year contract. A club statement read: "Millwall Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed with Ian Holloway for him to become new manager following the departure of Steve Lomas on Boxing Day. Ollie is set to take up his new position this week and will be in charge of the team for the Championship fixture at Huddersfield Town on Saturday."
RUGBY UNION: Rugby stars seeking new contracts can now promote themselves through a virtual shop window. An online list of out-of-contract stars has been launched to help English-based players secure new deals in professional rugby. The Rugby Players Association has set up the RPA Free Agent List, to detail which players' contracts expire at the end of the season. RPA chairman and Gloucester lock Will James said: "We believe this is yet another step in giving our members an enhanced opportunity to secure contracts for the coming season. Last year over 60 players did not have their contracts renewed for a variety of reasons, so we see this Free Agent List as a great shop window for clubs to approach players within the six-month window that started on January 1."
CRICKET: Somerset opener Nick Compton is determined to push his claims for an international recall in the wake of England's Ashes mauling. Compton was dropped by England prior to last summer's home series against Australia to make way for Joe Root at the top of the order and the Somerset batsman was then overlooked for the tour Down Under. However, the 30-year-old, who has scored two centuries in his nine Test appearances, is now "desperate" to catch the selectors' eyes again as English cricket looks for answers following a traumatic 5-0 whitewash. Writing in his column in the Daily Express, Compton said: "So just what do England do next? I guess that is the question all supporters will be asking after a massively disappointing Ashes series. As one of those hoping to regain a batting spot this summer, I intend to get my head down and make plenty of runs. I am desperate to prove how hungry I am to fill one of those top-three spots alongside Alastair Cook."
ROWING: London Olympic silver medallist and former world champion Rob Williams has announced his retirement from rowing in order to concentrate on a career in the City.
TENNIS: British number one Laura Robson's return to tennis at the Hobart International was ended when she retired from her first-round match against Yanina Wickmayer due to injury. The 19-year-old won the first set 6-4 but, after serving a double fault to gift her Belgian opponent an early break in the second, she pulled out of the match.
FOOTBALL: Referee Mark Clattenburg has been cleared of misconduct by the Football Association following a complaint from Southampton. The club had complained about comments allegedly made by the match official to Southampton's England midfielder Adam Lallana.
PENTATHLON: Double Olympian Sam Weale has announced his retirement from modern pentathlon with immediate effect. Weale finished 10th on his Olympic debut in Beijing in 2008 and followed it up with a 13th place in London in 2012.
SPORT: Michael Schumacher's condition remains stable but critical and he is under constant monitoring at the Grenoble hospital following a skiing accident on December 29, his manager has confirmed. The seven-time Formula One world champion has undergone two operations as neurosurgeons removed blood clots and reduced swelling, with the 45-year-old in an artificially induced coma.

Andre Anjos launched RAC while still a student at Greenville College in Illinois and quickly became one of the most exciting and in demand remixers around with Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Kings of Leon all asking for the RAC treatment. RAC CHAPTER ONE celebrates the first part of his career and compiles some of the classic remixes including The Shins' "Sleeping Lessons" which first brought RAC to international attention. The album is due out on November 6th via RAC Records and will be available at all digital retailers. In celebration of the release, RAC will hit the road in North America this November on the ENDLESS SUMMER TOUR with Classixx, Cosmic Kids, and JeromeLOL, dates below.
RAC CHAPTER ONE's tracklist speaks to the scope of RAC's appeal and imagination. Anthemic tracks by Phoenix, Foster the People, Tegan and Sara, and The Temper Trap were reworked alongside club staples by Penguin Prison, and exclusive unreleased remixes of Chromeo's 'Bonafide Lovin' (premiered by MixMag here – Free MP3), and Classixx's 'Stranger Love'. Also included are unexpected tracks by Theophilus London, Lana Del Rey, and Washed Out. RAC imagined a new dimension for each one of them. The album concludes with RAC RADIO which is a continuous mix of some of the album's tracks.
The next chapter of RAC will focus on his original material. The debut original single, "Hollywood," featured vocalist Penguin Prison and was released in the spring of 2012 on Green Label Sound. The track immediately took off, topping all four charts on Hype Machine at once, going to #1 on Elbo.ws and breaking all previous Green Label Sound download records in its first week. Likewise the cowboy-in-LA music video with a cameo by Quentin Tarantino muse Rose McGowan and two remix packages including yet another Hype Machine chart topper by The Magician kept RAC in the spotlight throughout the summer and fall. RAC is currently preparing his debut artist album for release in Spring 2013.

These creams work!

I have been using these Reviva Day and Night creams for about 2 weeks and am seeing a lightening of sun spots on my hands and legs. I have tried two other products, one much more expensive than these, and the Reviva creams are much more effective. Not at all irritating to my skin either.

I am a golden brown skinned woman and noticed I was getting light sun spots around my upper cheeks and nose. The spots are getting lighter but slowly. I've used the day cream every morning and the night cream every night for two and a half weeks now. I can see the difference but have had to be diligent. And it will probably be two more weeks at least before my spots are gone. The results were not as fast and immediate for me as they were for some other people but I recommend the product.
wonderful set

Good-bye dark spots
Posted by HealthyLiving on Apr 06, 2012
I was pleasantly surprised how well this product lightened my brown spots on my face. It may not be effective for all skin types, but it worked fantastic on my very fair skin. I really didn't think I could get results like this without a medical procedure.
great product

Plastic bottles are one of the most popular junks scattered around the community that we can recycle. These bottles of soda, mineral water, cooking oil, fruit juice or milk sometimes end up in landfills even though we could still make use of those no matter how empty, cracked or damaged they are.
The different ways of recycling plastic bottles has a lot of benefits. Aside from saving mother earth, we can also help on keeping our surroundings clean, make extra money and many more. Here are the steps on how you can recycle plastic bottles.
Be creative
Research about things that you can make out of plastic bottles. If you've got gifted hands and you know that you can make a lot of great things out of these bottles, you can definitely use it to help on the recycling process or make some money. Some products that have been made from plastic bottles are curtains, lamps, house decorations, bottle light and even chairs!
Reuse them as containers for some time
If you are short on canisters or other containers in your house, you can make use of the empty plastic bottles. You can store food and drinks such as milk, juices, sauce or even powders. Just make sure that the plastic bottles are previously being store with edible drinks and they are not more than a week old after the content has been consumed. Clean the bottles and ensure that they can be safely used as food containers.
Separate the bottle caps from the bottles
There is something else that you might be able to do with the caps so take them off and segregate. You can use the caps on making toys, stamps and decors.
Check for community programs
Every community's problem is waste and for sure, they have thought about recycling for a long time now. Ask your community on how you can help on their recycling process regarding plastic bottles. Familiarize yourself about the requirements, process and follow the instructions that they have set.
If you don't possess the artistic hands, not interested on trying to be creative and don't like the idea of approaching community officials, there is one process that you might want – sell for extra money. If you have collected enough in your cart, box or in the whole garage, selling those could be a wise move. The buyers of these which are usually junk shops are also making money out of what others call as garbage.
Plastic bottles have many uses and have a great potential when it comes to money making and saving the earth. Promote recycling and let's continue to live in a rich and green world.

DIE EASY. By Zoe Sharp. Pegasus Crime. 336 pages. $25.
In her latest thriller, Zoe Sharp throws her characters into fast-paced action in the first five pages, barely allowing them, or the reader, to catch a breath before launching into another scene. This would make a good movie.
Imagine looking down the barrel of a gun held by the man you love who does not remember the past you shared together. Or coming face to face with one of the men who gang raped you. That is the status of Charlie Fox's life.
To make matters worse, she is working with her former lover, Sean Meyer, as a personal protection agent.
This story takes place in Louisiana, and the pair becomes involved in a war that weaves past old enemies and new foes. Hidden political secrets are revealed, and nothing is as it seems.
Along the way, it appears that part of the mystery has something to do with Sean. As bits and pieces of his memory return, he begins to realize some of the tragic events that occurred in his life with Charlie, making their current working relationship froth with tension, anger and confusion.
When the man they are protecting is attacked, Charlie feels that she is fighting alone because she cannot fully trust Sean. They are no longer working together as a seasoned team. Although she is one of the best agents in the business, her safety is at risk, which also puts her client in danger.
As the story unfolds, Charlie's strength, determination and skill are highlighted. It is doubtful that her life will ever be the same, with or without Sean.

About us | Cafebarokk | Program for Cafebarokk | Previous season | Leaders/directors | Contact | Newsletter
Barokkanerne is an all-Norwegian baroque orchestra, consisting of Oslo-based, young professional musicians, all with recognized special skills within the field of Early Music. The ensemble was established in 1989, and gives concerts both as a full orchestra and as smaller chamber-music groups. Venues have included the Oslo Chamber Music Festival, the Oslo International Church Music Festival, broadcasts on the NRK radio and television network (the Norwegian Broadcasting Company), and tours abroad, including most recently concerts in Israel and Lithuania.
In 2006 Barokkanerne performed with Det Norske Solistkor in the world premiere of Lasse Thoresen's Ut Unum Sint, which was written specifically for this orchestra.
Barokkanerne's activities have traditionally included performances of music for choir, soloists and orchestra, such as Haydn's Creation, Mozart's Requiem, the St John and St Matthew Passions by Bach, Monteverdi's Vespers, and Handel's Messiah.
During recent years Barokkanerne has begun to draw a wide audience as a purely instrumental ensemble. The increased level of skill, artistry and enthusiasm amongst its members has spurred the orchestra to aim for more independent tasks.
Barokkanerne's solely orchestral series is called Cafebarokk , and is now in its second season. Following the great success of last year, the season of 2008/09 comprises six concerts. The concerts take place at Cafeteatret in downtown Oslo on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Cafeteatret is a unique venue, which can accommodate an audience of 120 people. The interior is baroque in style, and the atmosphere is perfect for intimate concerts. The audience is seated at tables, and the bar will be open before the concert. The kitchen will be open for food orders afterwards, serving delicious, organic food.
The programs for these hour long concerts will feature well known favourites from the baroque orchestral repertoire as well as rarely heard treasures. We're also proud to present solo performances by our internationally renowned English directors in addition to some of our world class Norwegian soloists.

Through Savall and Montserrat Figueras, he acquired first-hand knowledge of 17th century French and Spanish instrumental and vocal music. Since 1987, Rolf Lislevand has been living in Verona, Italy, where he has been trying to reconstruct an authentic way of performing Italian music from the first half of the 17th century.

Jones: Romo will win The Big One
Jerry Jones sees a Super Bowl victory in Tony Romo's future. Speaking at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington on Friday, Jones once again showed that he's firmly in Romo's corner.

Tony Romo finally talked to the Dallas media, spending nearly 20 minutes with reporters inside the locker room this afternoon. No big headlines came out of it.

Marion Barber (quad) had limited participation in the Cowboys' practice Thursday, Wade Phillips said. Even though he hasn't missed any workouts this week, Barber's status for Monday night's game with Carolina remains uncertain. "Marion wants to play on Monday, that's the key," Phillips said. "I can't predict it. It's day to day right now, but […] [Read More]
Cowboys-Panthers: A must-win game for both teams

At a press conference on Thursday, representatives from Taco Bell warned consumers that patterns related to global climate change could affect the availability of the rubbery green carbon-based substance used as the base of the company's guacamole. In effect, this would force the fast-food chain to raise the price of the popular item or remove it from its menu entirely, leaving patrons worldwide unsatisfied and plumbers across America with far fewer toilets to fix.
Andrew Philippe, the company's media director, told reporters, "We know that Americans love good food, great service, and a healthy dose of polymethylmethacrylate. Plus, we have a long history of making deep sacrifices on behalf of our customers; whether it was our move from beef to soy-chunk meat product in the 90's or our transition from salsa to red paint in 2011, we've always been ready to do whatever it takes to keep hungry Americans happy. In this case, though, our hands are really tied."
Reaction across the nation has included confusion, sadness, and questions of whether this means the drive through won't be open after 2am anymore on Saturdays, because a dude needs a late night burrito sometimes, you know?
Taking a bite out of a spicy enchilada from his town's Taco Bell, local hairdresser Harvey Williams offered, "Heck, I ain't mad. It's about darn time them Arabs stopped trying to make us American folk eat their food. They can take their guacy-moley and march right back to Micronesia for all I care."
Before providing further insight, though, Williams rushed to the bathroom with complaints of stomach cramps. He returned to inform us that he had found the lid of a Coke bottle in his stool, and further investigation into the uneaten half of his dinner revealed the presence of an empty water balloon, three Lego bricks, and a miniature Power Rangers action figure. Taco Bell refused to address the issue specifically, but insisted that it would make sure to maintain the high quality of product Americans know and love.

Light and Photomedia
A New History and Future of the Photographic Image
written by Jai McKenzie
I B Tauris | ISBN 9781780762784
Paperback – 224 pages
Member's price: $33.26
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Jai McKenzie identifies light-space-time structures throughout the history of photomedia, from the early image machines through analogue and digital image machines to the present day. She proposes that they will continue to develop in the future, and takes us to future image machines of the year 2039. With the use of the theories of Paul Virilio, Jean Baudrillard and Vilem Flusser, featuring artists including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Nam June Paik, Yves Klein, Eadweard Muybridge, Martha Rosler, Cindy Sherman and Michael Snow, as well as photographic images, Light and Photomedia places the reader in a new history and future which, although mostly overlooked by the canon of photomedia theory, is an essential line of enquiry for contemporary thinking and dialogue in photography.

Deli Farm Charcuterie is Great Taste Awards winner
Posted: July 27, 2011|
Deli Farm Charcuterie are proud to announce they are one of many Great Taste Awards Winners; they have been awarded a further two ** Star Gold Awards to add to their ever expanding range!
It was announced last Friday 15th July that Deli Farm's Venison Bresaola and Oak Smoked Paprika Salami had both won ** Gold Awards.
The Great Taste Awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, are now in their 18th year and going from strength to strength. 7481 products were entered from 1600 companies for the 2011 Great Taste Awards. It took 350 experts 34 days to blind taste all the entries and decide which entries would achieve the coveted one, two and three star gold awards.
The Great Taste Awards judging standards, devised by the Guild of Fine Food, are the most rigorous in the UK. To achieve the 3-star rating a minimum of 20 -more often 30 - judges need to be in complete agreement that the food delivered that indefinable 'wow' factor
The team are thrilled that the Venison Bresaola won an award so soon; it was only launched in February 2011.
Experiments took place in 2010, curing smaller pieces of Venison which proved extremely popular; an easy decision to produce more.
As soon as the Venison season begun the team received larger joints of meat, all shot on local Cornish Estates.
The meat is freshly cut and presented from a local farm butchery unit, ensuring traceability from start to finish. The joints were then cured and Air Dried and are now available as a 'whole' joint or sold in sliced packs (50g, 100g or 200g).
Many Farm Shops, Delicatessens and Restaurants throughout the South of England have been purchasing the Venison Bresaola where they have received fantastic reviews, complementing on the colour, texture and taste.
The Oak Smoked Paprika Salami has been a product for some years however recognised this year as a British alternative to the Italian Chorizo.
Judge's comments included: "This is a truly delicious salami which is both sweet and spicy. The meat is dense and chewy but without the resistance of poorer quality products. There is a lovely smokey note and the colour is very appealing. We liked this very much indeed".

McClung Steps in As Van Buren Town Manager
He's Van Buren's new head honcho. Dan McClung stepped in as the new town manager of the St. John valley community last week.
"The people have just been great to me..the community is everything I thought it was," said McClung.
McClung is excited to lead a community that wants to grow. And he's certainly hitting the ground running with the World Acadian Congress just a month away, but he says the town is prepared.
"The spirit of the town from what I can tell is that everybody's gonna pitch in and do whatever we need to do..whether it's giving the speech at the opening breakfast ceremonies or helping to park cars," said McClung.
He comes to the role with town manager experience in Mars Hill and a background in financial services. McClung says one of his priorities is economic development – in the near future he hopes to get Van Buren certified as a business friendly community.
"I'd really like to see Van Buren get it because it does open some doors for us," said McClung.
Along with that he wants to work on a 3-5 year strategic plan for the town which would include revitalizing main street, promoting the industrial park, and developing property in town. And he'll want the community's input.
"We need business owners, we need to span the gap between some of the younger folks some of the older people in town, to rely on their wisdom and experience but also address the needs of everyone," said McClung.
Geography and money are what he considers to be the two greatest challenges for the town – but he's confident that this community can thrive… And he's going to do whatever he can to make that happen.

The Leadership Kentucky program began in 1984. Since that time, the program has sought to bring together a group of leaders in order to gain insight into the issues facing the state and the people of the Commonwealth. Graduates of the program bring a fresh and informed perspective to their communities and companies, serving as important participants in the unified effort to shape Kentucky's future.
As part of the program, Gonzalez will attend a series of seven monthly, two-day sessions that will be held throughout the state.
"Many of Kentucky's greatest leaders have participated in the program and I am honored to have been selected to walk in their footsteps," Gonzalez said. "I look forward to exploring the multiple facets of our great state and learning from the experience of others in the program."
Past UK participants of the program include: UK President Lee T. Todd Jr.; Associate VP for Institutional Equity Terry Allen; Dr. Emery Wilson, director, Office of Health Research and Development, UK College of Medicine; Associate VP for External Affairs Tom Harris; General Council Barbara Jones; Marc Matthews, office of the treasurer; Chris Frost, professor, College of Law; and several others.
Gonzalez and other Leadership Kentucky participants are chosen for the program based on proven and potential leadership abilities, civic activity, concern for the community, volunteer leadership and potential to help build a greater Kentucky.
Gonzalez has been dean of the College of Health Sciences since 2005. She is a native of Kentucky and an alumna of UK, receiving her bachelor's degree in speech pathology and audiology with high distinction in 1979.

Airbus is the world's leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military airlifters, having evolved during the past 40 years on the vision, innovation and passion of its employees.
A brief history of Airbus
The A300 became the world's first twin-engine widebody jet with its commercial service entry during 1974. It was followed in the early 1980s by Airbus' shorter-fuselage A310 derivative, then later that decade by the company's single-aisle A320 – which has developed into one of the most successful aircraft families in history with the A318, A319, A320 and A321. The 1990s saw Airbus introduce its long-range A330/A340 jetliner Family, and a new era of airline travel started in 2007 when the 525-seat A380 began commercial operation. Responding to market requirements, Airbus also launched its A350 XWB twin-engine jetliner – which brings together the very latest in aerodynamics, design and advanced technologies – during the 21st century's opening decade, with initial deliveries scheduled to begin in 2014.To maintain its competitive edge, Airbus continues to invest in improvements across the product line – including development of the A320neo (new engine option) version, its A330 Regional variant for domestic use and more. The company's international production network also has been significantly expanded over the years, highlighted by its single-aisle final assembly line in Tianjin, China, along with the A320 Family final assembly facility in Mobile, Alabama, USA – the construction of which began in 2013.

Football: Champs Bowl Teleconference Quotes
Steve Hogan, FCS Chief Executive Officer
Opening Statement
Both Michelle Champagne (FCS President) and I are looking forward to having you. I believe this is the first time West Virginia is going to be playing in our game, and we're very excited to have you in Orlando representing the great state of West Virginia. The fans are excited, and we have a lot of people here tonight sporting your colors. We're looking forward to having you here for a great game.
Coach Bill Stewart
Opening Statement
To both Michelle and Steve, I want to give a very much appreciated 'thank you' from the West Virginia football family, the university and most importantly, the people here in the great state of West Virginia. We are absolutely thrilled and excited to be a participant. We are very much looking forward to this opportunity. I know the people of West Virginia, just as much as the football team, are really excited about this opportunity.
On NC State's head coach Tom O'Brien
Tommy and I go way back to when we were in the Naval Academy in '81-'83. When he was at the University of Virginia, I happened to be at the University of North Carolina, and we had some real battles there. So, Tommy and I have been friends for many, many years. I greatly respect him, he has tremendous character and he's a heck of a football coach and a guy. I would consider him a friend.
On playing NC State
It's a real thrill to go up against the Wolfpack. They've had a tremendous program there under Tommy. He's done a great job and again, he's a heck of a football coach. To get the chance to play them, with them being representative of the ACC and us representing the BIG EAST, it just looks for a really good football game and a heck of a match-up. While I was here as a position coach before I became head coach, I recruited the state of Virginia very heavily because that's where I spent most of my time. I certainly remember some of these players like Russell Wilson and Mike Glennon (NC State quarterbacks), so it's going to be awesome to go up against a team like the NC State Wolfpack.
On NC State's starting quarterback Russell Wilson
I know about him because I was down there when he was being recruited. Our assistant head coach and safeties coach, Steve Dunlap, recruited Russell for NC State. He is a great competitor. He has baseball skills, football skills and tremendous leadership skills. I got to see him play against Cincinnati, because that was in our film swap, so I know what he can do. I know the record he's had. His stats are phenomenal. He's very much a top-flight, efficient passer. The guy has around 26 touchdowns, which is pretty impressive, 14 interceptions, he's thrown for over 3,000 yards, averaging about 200-300 yards per game, and that right there should get everyone's attention rather quickly.
On UCONN's win
I see no disappointment whatsoever. This is a great challenge, and I've already received some calls from my players and they're excited. We were BIG EAST champs, and we are very proud of our 9-3 record, and we are very much proud of the result of our seniors. To come out and play like we have this last month has been a characteristic tribute to the young men here are West Virginia University and to our football program.
On the team's preparation for the bowl game
Right now we're in a reading period. The following week will be our exams. Once we get these few weeks out of the way, we can begin really serious bowl preparation. I can't wait.
On what it means to WVU's seniors
I think it's going to be an outstanding magnitude because some of the guys get the chance to go back to their home state, but it's also important to the rest of the football team and the seniors. This is a big bowl. I believe there's one on at 6:30 p.m. and then another one on around 10:00 p.m., so we're going to be the only show in town. We're going to be America's game on December 28. What more could you ask for with national coverage like this and to play such a great ACC power as NC State?
On the team's progress in the past month
Our accomplishments were great. I think our last month has shown not only the people in West Virginia, but the entire country, that West Virginia is still a team to be reckoned with. I think we were 21st or 22nd in the polls and I'm glad about that, but to win four games against the top four opponents that we just played is very good. Then, to come out of BIG EAST play with a 5-2 ledger and being a champ is an outstanding tribute to the seniors, to our entire football team and most importantly, to our staff. It's just been a real neat finish to the last month of the season.
