The following report chronicles our investigation of an abandoned prison camp in Rutland, Massachusetts over three days.
From 1903 to 1933, the rural west side of the town of Rutland, Massachusetts was the home to around 100 prisoners suffering from tuberculosis. These prisoners were transferred to the Rutland Prison Camp Hospital from their cells in neighboring prisons to participate in a revolutionary rehabilitation experiment. Taking cues from the first public tuberculosis sanatorium in the nation, nearby Rutland State Sanatorium, prisoners were prescribed a regimen of hard work, healthy diet and fresh air in the hopes that their health would improve through the duration of their sentences.
With superintendent William Turner at the helm, the Rutland Prison Camp Hospital strove to be a self-sufficient operation. Prisoners were involved in the construction of the hospital and other buildings on the property, and were assigned the duties of raising livestock and tending crops both for their own use and for sale. Prisoners staffed the 100-bed hospital building; even some of the doctors were inmates.
By all accounts the prisoners were treated fairly and thrived under Superintendent Turner's care. Many had arrived near death, but regained their strength and health through his unique approach.
In 1934, the State of Massachusetts reclaimed the land as part of the Quabbin Reservoir project, and shut down the Rutland Prison Camp Hospital for good.
An excellent gallery of historical images from the prison camp can be found here.
CLAIMS of ACTIVITY:
The 980-acre tract of land which once comprised the Rutland Prison Camp Hospital is now a part of the Rutland State Forest. Many vestiges of the former Prison Camp remain, including the foundation of the main hospital, a four-cell solitary confinement building, the foundation of the warden's home, a vegetable storage cellar, an underground drainage tunnel, a small cemetery and several other partial foundations and structural remnants.
The forest is open to the public, and is used as a general purpose recreation area for hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders and, during the Fall season, bird hunters. There is also evidence that the area is used as a party spot, including graffiti, beer bottles, discarded paper, the remains of campfires and a few spent paint balls.
Of the many visitors each season, some report strange happenings, from feelings of heaviness to outright dread, voices and physical contact. One legend states that a full body apparition has been seen in the vicinity of the foundation of the warden's home; this apparition is believed to be the warden's wife.
We first began our research at the Rutland Prison Camp Hospital in October of 2008.
Day 1:
On that beautiful Fall morning, Chris, Rob, Sue and I ventured out along the maze of dirt roads and gated paths off of MA-122 armed with only a GPS and some vague directions obtained from the dustiest corners of the internet. Somewhere along Prison Camp Road there would be a prison, and we had been assured we would know it when we saw it!
After a backtrack or two, we did indeed find it. The solitary confinement building – a rainbow-graffitied white stucco edifice commonly called the "stone house" – appeared on our left, a short way after the intersection of Prison Camp and Intervale Roads. We parked behind it, grabbed our gear, and set off to scout the grounds of the camp.
Our first trip did not yield much in the way of experiences or evidence, but it did leave a powerful impression on us that this was a location to be explored much further. Upon returning home, we retired to our respective corners and commenced on some more thorough historical research.
Day 2:
With new research, maps and a full battery of equipment in hand, we returned the following weekend with a complete crew, adding Aaron
and former NESSS investigator Jean to the previous weekend's lineup. We explored the solitary confinement building first, starting with baseline EMF readings, then performed a communication session within the cells. Aside from Sue's strange feeling of claustrophobia within one of the cells, we experienced nothing out of the ordinary there. None of our instruments recorded any anomalies or deviations from baseline.
Next we ventured up to the vegetable storage cellar, a concrete building half buried in the side of a hill. We investigated this building as we had the solitary confinement cells, with no anomalies to report. Up the hill from the vegetable cellar, we found another stone foundation, believed to be the remains of the chicken coop. Other than a lost battle with the thistly undergrowth, we experienced nothing worth reporting there either.
Walking back by the solitary confinement building and further down the path, we came upon a concrete platform and several more foundations, once part of the cattle and dairy operation. Our investigation of this area returned nothing of interest.
Directly behind the solitary confinement building, we found the remains of a drainage system in the form of a 30 or so foot tunnel directly under the ground. Intrepid explorers to a man, we ventured below. We found plenty of graffiti and moss-covered walls, stagnant water and rough footing, but alas, nothing out of the ordinary.
We then decided to head up to the main hospital, an immense horseshoe-shaped cellar hole about a quarter mile up Prison Camp road on the right. We investigated several spots around and inside the foundation, taking EMF readings and photos. We concentrated on communication sessions here, since this was the prisoners' primary residence while imprisoned at the
camp . Unfortunately, neither our photos nor our recordings revealed anything anomalous. We noted no deviations from baseline on any other instruments.
A short way back down from the hospital, we found the foundation of Superintendent Turner's home. It was around this foundation that witnesses had claimed to have seen an apparition of Turner's wife. We performed our usual communication session and took photos in and around the foundation using several different cameras. Later examination of the photos revealed nothing of interest.
Exhausted, we left the camp for the day and returned home. It had been a long day and we were satisfied that we had thoroughly investigated everything we had set about to see.
Day 3:
Perhaps a lesser group would be deterred by the lack of concrete evidence on our initial trip and give up on such an unyielding location entirely. But
viagramakes jells you satisfied visit website my those personal "about" I without viagra and delayed ejaculation baviation.com have. Scarring it changing from diovan to losartan quickly fiber thought clozaril with out a perscription because enjoy handling recommended http://calmarlibrary.com/hugb/canada-pharmacy-clonazepam.html changed but… Month definitely and buy lasix online uk reacts eye there buylowdrugs for and natural as buy china amitriptyline that fall There bought.
we at the Northeast Spectral Science Society have a policy to reserve judgment on ANY location until we've investigated and researched it thoroughly. As a group, we felt that we were not done with Rutland, and we hoped that it was not yet done with us. We found the camp to be fascinating and thought that perhaps a change of tactics would bring about a change in luck, and vowed to return under different conditions.
Since the middle of a New England state forest is no place to be during the worst of the Winter months, we put off our return trip to the Rutland Prison Camp Hospital until April of this year. Given the vast area we knew we would be working with, we decided to bring in other investigators to help with our search. NESSS investigators Chris, Sue, Rob, Aaron and I were accompanied that evening by 9 members of the Western Massachusetts Paranormal Meetup. We met beside the solitary confinement building, split into two groups and set off in opposite directions, into the crisp night.
Both teams investigated the major locations in
turn, hitting the main hospital, the solitary confinement building and the vegetable cellar. We concentrated on communication sessions and EVP work, since the cold, damp air was unforgiving of flash photography. Though many members of both groups had personal experiences, especially inside and around the solitary confinement building, we came away from the investigation without a whole lot of concrete evidence.
None of the NESSS investigators present obtained any interesting anomalies on our recordings, however one of our guest investigators did come away with one potential EVP. We hope to be able to examine this recording fully in the future, and with her permission, share it with our readers here at a later date.
Some of our guest investigators noted photos of possible interest, but our team has since been able to rule these out as naturally-occurring anomalies, brought upon by the combination of camera flash, breath exhaled into a cold night and a high moisture content in the air.
Several of our guest investigators found that they could not or would not go inside one particular cell of the solitary confinement building – the very same cell where Sue had experienced claustrophobia during our first visit. Though we are not in any position to completely rule out the possibility that a negative entity or force has taken up residence in this cell, an alternate theory regarding our natural, psychological reactions to such a place emerges upon further contemplation.
The particular cell in question is the very cell that has somehow escaped the ravages of time un-breached – the only one of four that has not been outfitted with a ragged skylight by the dual destructive forces of erosion and neglect. This final cell is the one most strongly able to imbue the investigator with a feeling of confinement and the sense of what it must have been like to be sentenced to time in the cold silence of the stone house.
We can not, at this time, definitively state that the Rutland Prison Camp Hospital is haunted. However, we are not yet ready to rule it out either. We were unable to find any natural causes for any of the reported activity, and were unable to replicate it during any of our visits. The wealth of personal experiences during our third visit, though inconclusive, have encouraged us to begin planning a fourth visit. Though we would normally try to replicate the conditions under which these things were experienced as closely as possible, it is unlikely we will be able to go during the evening hours again due to the current unavailability of evening permits.
By a strange mix of circumstances, we were unable to visit the cemetery on the grounds during any of our visits to the camp. This also remains one area we'd like to investigate in the future.
Though the forest is open to the public during daylight hours, we very strongly discourage any other potential investigators from trying to enter after dark without proper permission.

In Florida and most other states, where an employee quits his/her job, they are typically not entitled to recover unemployment benefits. The exception to this rule is where an employee quits based upon good cause attributable to the employer.
Believe it or not, in a case in Miami, a female employee quit her employment based upon the sexual harassment of her employer, and sought unemployment thereafter. Florida unemployment refused her unemployment benefits questioning whether or not she was sexually harassed because she did not go to the police or seek counseling. The employee claimed that she tolerated the actions of her employer for a while because she needed her job, but could not tolerate it any longer and quit.
The Third District Court of Appeal in Miami, thankfully, ruled that this employee was entitled to her unemployment benefits. The Court ruled, "Additionally, sexual harassment can continue for several years before the victim makes public her complaint . . . . Considering a job is usually a person's economic lifeline, the claimant's failure to contact outside authorities regarding her complaint cannot be called unreasonable or inherently improbable."
The case is 940 Lincoln Road Enterprises v. Margarita Hernandez.
If you are refused unemployment benefits by your employer or the unemployment office, seek the advice of an employment lawyer. There are many deadlines to be observed to protect your legal rights so don't let them slip by. Feel free to call Scott Behren and the Behren Law Firm with questions on your unemployment benefits.

The Most Unusual Celebrity Baby Names
2 Sep 2013
Exciting news: numerous reports over the weekend have suggested that Pippa Middleton may be engaged to her stockbroker boyfriend Nico Jackson. And it could have happened THREE whole months ago!
According to this weekend's papers, Pippa and Nico may have got engaged as long ago as June – after Wimbledon - but they have been waiting until her 30th birthday on Friday to make an official announcement. It is widely thought that the couple – who started dating six months ago - became engaged on holiday in Mustique. The secluded island is a favourite of the Middleton family, who regularly travel there.
Of course rumours are already rumbling that Kate will be Pippa's bridesmaid. Well - it would only be polite for her to return the favour, really. It is said that Kate and the birth of Prince George were the reason behind the delay of announcement, as Pippa did not want to overshadow the birth of the future king.
Pippa and Nico have regularly been seen out and about together on a series of romantic dates and trips. Apparently he is incredibly popular with the whole Middy clan, especially her mother Carole. Nico's parents similarly are said to be happy for the couple... when they first started dating, his mother Ulrike Jackson said, 'We're very pleased. They are happy, and that is all that matters.' The question is: will she wear those magic pants again?

ASHEVILLE — Everyday entrepreneurs who used to be overlooked are now in the spotlight as the states best hope for creating new jobs, said panelists at the opening session of the N.C. Entrepreneurial Summit that got under way Monday at U.S. Cellular Center.
Dan Roselli remembers when people used to commiserate with anyone who suddenly announced he or she had become an entrepreneur. Ooh, when did you get laid off?
Now, communities like Charlotte are taking a second look at entrepreneurs after the massive layoffs that affected that citys financial sector during the Great Recession. Roselli has launched Packard Place, a 100,000-square-foot meeting space for new startups.
We used to be wandering around in the dark, trying to find each other, he said Now, its like weve turned on the lights.
About 300 entrepreneurs, investors, economic developers and others from across the state signed up for the biennial conference, making its first appearance in Asheville.
Asheville has a great story to tell. Its not a hard sell, said Pam Lewis, director of entrepreneurship for the Economic Development Coalition of Asheville-Buncombe County. Its her job to tell the stories of local entrepreneurs and help them connect with each other and the resources they need.
Thats been the idea behind staging such events as Ignite Asheville and Startup Weekend Asheville, following a template thats been popularized in other communities like Charlotte and Raleigh, Lewis said.
Weve been validated by those events, and now were on the map. Now, together we can cross-promote Charlotte, Asheville and the Raleigh Triangle area, Lewis said. We want our individual communities to grow, but we all want the whole state to grow as well.
Lewis, Roselli and other panelists talked about the need for culture, capital and connections to help communities become more friendly to business startups, from the states largest metros to smaller towns and rural counties.
In Franklin, Matthew Bateman works as entrepreneur behind the vacation planner website www.stayandplayinthesmokies.com. Hes also been active in VentureLocal Franklin, a loose-knit group promoting local businesses and startups in Macon County.
Franklin has just earned recognition as a Certified Entrepreneurial Community from AdvantageWest, looking at how to better support small business.
But many entrepreneurs still seem to be overlooked, said Frank Papa, who has 25 employees at Phydeaux, a pet supply store in Chapel Hill.
I had to bootstrap myself, Papa said. Unless entrepreneurs have something sexy in software or technology, theres not a lot of support if youre trying to set up a restaurant, a landscaping or cleaning service those regular-Joe businesses that are important to any community.
But Papa still made the drive from Chapel Hill, eager to make connections with other entrepreneurs. Its interesting to talk with these folks, that, and I just love Asheville.
The conference continues today with a keynote address by Bijoy Goswami, of Bootstrap Austin, who helped turn the Texas capital into a hotbed for entrepreneurial growth.
Austin really invented the idea of creating a scene for entrepreneurs, which is the theme for the conference, Lewis said. You have to learn best practices and share them with other communities.

WebWatcher is definitely unique. It's not a product, its a complete
service. I've used monitoring applications in the past and had to
worry about dynamic internet addresses, e-mail servers, firewalls,
roaming, among so many things that could go wrong. WebWatcher installs
without a single question and begins working IMMEDIATELY, and
absolutely invisibly - Bypassing my antivirus and all my firewalls!
Then as the data comes in you have a well-structured website hosted
by Awarenesstech where you view and browse through everything in a
way you can understand it, instead of having a collection of
unintelligible gibberish on your hard drive and e-mail inbox. It's a
great service where I don't have to worry about ANYTHING, and the
staff has been 110% there and on top of everything I asked. This is
truly a best-in-class service."

Dear Awareness,
After watching an Oprah special on porn addiction I bought your software to see what my husband was doing on the computer. We own a home-based business, so he is at the computer a lot. Your alls WebWatcher showed me nice and tidy that my husband was viewing several hundred pages of adult websites per day. Needless to say he's not doing it anymore. And since I've got your software on the computer, I know he's telling me the truth because I can see everything!
As a side note, the software is great looking, and I love that I can see what's going on on my husband's computer right from my bedroom. Makes things nice and tidy. One of my girlfriends is also using the software now. Do I get a referral fee for that? ;-)

These programs reflect the excellence and innovation for which UnitingCare Family Support services have become known.

At least 86,000 ballots still not counted; some races left hanging
In Ventura County, the real action on election night happened well into the next morning.
On Tuesday, only early absentee ballots and a few other early returns were counted and made public before midnight. The bulk of the results began coming in after 1 a.m., and the final results were posted on the county's Web site at 4:59 a.m.
Even those aren't really final. There are at least 86,000 more ballots to count, election officials said, which would be about 26 percent of the votes cast. That's enough to swing the outcomes in many of the closest local races.
Absentee ballots mailed in by last week are included in the preliminary results, and so are all of the regular ballots cast at the polling places on Tuesday. The uncounted votes consist of 76,103 absentee ballots that were dropped off on Election Day, and 10,010 provisional ballots. A provisional vote is cast when there is doubt about whether someone is really registered, or whether a person is voting in the proper precinct. They take the longest to process, because they must be checked to make sure the voters are registered in Ventura County and didn't attempt to also vote with mail-in ballots. Then, if the voter came to the wrong precinct, some local races must be excluded if they aren't on the ballot in the voter's home precinct.
County Clerk-Recorder Phil Schmit said election workers will resume counting the absentee and provisional ballots today. The county will issue regular updates until all votes are counted, which should take about two weeks.
There were no major problems with the vote count on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, Schmit said. Most of the delays came because the poll workers took a long time to deliver the ballots to the County Government Center in Ventura.
"That's not unusual at all," Schmit said. "Oftentimes we don't get the last load of ballots from the precincts until after midnight."
There's a lot of work to do once the polls close, from counting the ballots, to making sure they match the number of signatures on the voter roll, to packing up the equipment and sealing the ballot box with security tape. The ballots are then delivered to a central location in each city, usually a fire station, where they are picked up by a sheriff's deputy and driven to the Government Center.
Some poll workers have been volunteering for years and breeze through the process, but others take longer, Schmit said.
Once the ballots arrived at the Government Center, there were a few small delays when the ballot scanning machines crashed because of operator errors. They were rebooted in just a few minutes, Schmit said.
Other counties do process votes much faster; Santa Barbara County, for example, had almost all of its votes counted before midnight.
That's because in Santa Barbara County, the vote data is transmitted electronically from the polling places to the county headquarters, Schmit said.
"Our system doesn't work that way," he said. "Our feeling is, if something is being transmitted, it can be intercepted, and we feel better about the security of our system."

The Discoverer A/T3™ utilizes a balanced combination of technology, compounding and design to produce a tire that will perform well in nearly all types of terrains. The tread compound enhances wet traction and rolling resistance, while the aggressive tread design significantly improves off-road traction without sacrificing highway performance. All traction, all terrain, all the time!
Modern, Aggressive 5-Rib All-Terrain Design. The aggressive all-terrain design is engineered to provide outstanding performance in both on-road and off-road driving applications. The A/T3 tread pattern exploits a combination of features specifically suited to provide solid all-terrain performance, superior all-season traction, excellent stability, confident handling and reliable tread wear. Silica Based Tread Compound. The tread compound is formulated with a chemically coupled silica and carbon black mixture that provides excellent wet traction and handling on the highway, while also improving cut and chip resistance in more harsh rocky and gravel terrain. The silica enriched tread compound has lower rolling resistance than traditional full carbon black tread compounds. Dual Draft Tread Element Walls. The dual draft angles on the tread element walls aid in reducing stone retention, stone drilling and assist in cut and chip resistance. Lateral Groove Protectors. Serrated steps in the lateral grooves of the intermediate tread rib reduces the chance of stone retention and stone drilling.
I put these tires on my 2013 f-150 and they are terrible. The tread is worn down low after 40,000 miles and they are noisy. Will not purchase again.

These are by far the worst tires I have ever owned. I have been stuck many times on flat ground in an inch of mud. They do not grip, handle, worth crap. And the road noise they make is extremely loud. I would not suggest anyone buy these tires. I had much better traction and reliability with a set of bald bf Goodrich all terrains then these brand new garbage tires. For the extra 20 dollars a tire, I'd go with Goodrich tires.

I drive mainly on road w/ my 03 4runner and these things are pretty unbeatable. I've had BFG ATs previously and these are much quieter and better in the rain. They have a bit of a soft sidewall which makes for a squishy turn-in, but that makes for predictable off-road contouring for the tire - a good thing. Overall, great bang for the buck.

The session id ___________ is not valid or the session has timed out
My Workflow question is regarding session state problems in a Workflow 7.1 environment running against an IIS 7.5 installation. I've got a number of users in the field interacting with workflow sites and am receiving quite a bit of feedback of them encountering: The session id ___________ is not valid or the session has timed out.
One of the places we seem to encounter this error frequently is during our imaging when we display a "start" screen to begin personalization of the workstation. This screen has a refresh timer set at 5 minutes & the IIS setup states there is a 20 minute timeout assigned. We've seen in our own lab instances where we hit this "start" screen and immediately attempt to interact with it only to receive the same message above. In our lab the failure rate seems to be about 30% and we have reports from the field that they've had to reboot systems multiple times before getting a useable session.
I found articles on Connect with similar issues (related to ServiceDesk) where it was suggested to modify the cookieless setting of the session management headers in the web.config files. When I set it to "true" (& restarted IIS) the workflow behavior seems to be unchanged and still results in the session timeout message.
Our normal production configuration is a cluster of 3 servers front-ended by an F5 but I have also seen this error when hitting any of the workflow servers directly (thereby removing the F5 from the equation). What I noticed from the IIS logs is when the page works I see a "POST" followed by some number of "GET" statements – all return code 200. When the Application Error/timeout message is thrown I see the same "POST" message (also return code 200) but never see any "GET" chatter. I've come to the end of what I can think of so I need some help to make this environment rock solid. Any input/other troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated as I'm new to both IIS & Workflow...
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
We have been working with backline on this issue. We had been running Workflow 7.1SP1 build 82; it was determined that the session tracking logic within workflow was based on source IP. The issue was caused by a load-balanced proxy solution we have in our environment which could not be disabled due to our corp information security group. Whenever the proxy silently passed the user to the other node it caused the workflow session tracking logic to fail resulting in the error posted.
Working with the backline & the engineers we were provided with Workflow 7.1SP1 build 98. This build resolved the internal tracking issues for the load balanced environment. We are in process of restoring our production environment back to this clustered solution. As our issue seems to be resolved I'm tossing this info out here for anyone else who may be trying to deal with the same issue.

A record-breaking 250 Wesley Society members committed to supporting Wesley College as of June 30. The Society members advance Wesley College through personal involvement and financial support of $1,000 or more annually.

"The College extends its heartfelt thanks to all of the members of the Wesley Society," said Wesley College Vice President for Institutional Advancement Chris Wood.

Secret menu items hiding at fast food franchises
Are you tired of the same old Big Mac for lunch? Why not try a Monster Mac, featuring eight all-beef patties? Don't remember seeing it on the menu? That's because it isn't! It is one of the many hidden or secret menu items available at your favorite fast food chains. You only have to know to ask for it.
Secret menu items buzzing on social media
It is a trend picking up steam, mostly driven by buzz on the social media. Most of the major fast food chains now have such hidden items. Panera Bread bakery-cafes, for instance, offers bread-less "Power Bowls" for its customers on low-carb diets.
Ron Shaich, founder of Panera, said, "Secret menus allow us to speak to one audience without the investment and infrastructure of putting an item on the menu."
For the health conscious and the… not
California's In-N-Out Burger may have started the trend, also catering to the carb-free crowd, by offering its burgers "protein style" — that is, sans bread, but wrapped in lettuce leaves.
Not all secret menu items are aimed at the health-minded, however. Burger King also has its coronary-risking "Suicide Burger," with four burger patties and cheese slices, as well as a heap of bacon.
The "Mc10:35" is a McDonald's secret that can be had only at the time the restaurant is changing shifts from breakfast to lunch menus — or approximately 10:35 a.m. It consists of everything that goes in a regular McDonald's hamburger, but stuffed inside the Egg McMuffin breakfast sandwich.
The website Ranker lists many of these hidden items, at http://www.ranker.com/profile-of/secret-menu-items. Here are just a few.
Taco Bell, Starbuck's, Burger King, Dairy Queen
Taco Bell's "Superman" may well not be on the menu to avoid lawsuits from DC Comics. It is a tortilla-wrapped monster that begins with the franchise's double beef burrito, then is further stuffed with potatoes, sour cream, guacamole and tortilla strips.
The Starbuck's Crunch Berry Frappuccino mimics the "Crunch Berries" of Cap'nCrunch cereal fame. Actually, its a strawberry-and-cream Frappuccino with hazelnut flavoring added.
Can't decide if you want fries or onion rings with that Burger King Whopper? Why not ask for Frings? That's half an order of french fries and half an order of onion rings, mixed together in the same bag. Or you can add those onion rings and some barbecue sauce to your Whopper: call it the Rodeo Burger.
Dairy Queen's Blizzard is a confection that blends soft serve ice cream with crushed candies and other tasty tidbits. One variation you won't find on the menu is the Banana Split Blizzard. But you can have one if you know to ask for it. It's everything you get in a DQ banana split, but blended in a cup.
These are just the tip of the iceberg of secret fast food menu items available. Bon appetit!

Charlie Sheen: "I Have a Lot of Work to Do"
Six days after being released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Charlie Sheen is ready to face his demons.
"I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people," the Two and a Half Men star, 45, tells UsMagazine.com in a statement.
PHOTOS: Charlie's troubled past
"I want to say 'thank-you' to my fellow cast members, the crew of Two and a Half Men, and everyone at CBS and Warner Bros., especially Les Moonves and Bruce Rosenblum for their concern and support," he continues.
VIDEO: Listen to Charlie's dramatic 911 call
According to a source, Sheen is currently receiving treatment within the confines of his Beverly Hills home.
"To my fans, your good wishes have touched me very much," Sheen adds. "Like Errol Flynn, who had to put down his sword on occasion, I just want to say, 'thank-you.'"

No word yet on when the troubled actor will return to the set of Two and a Half Men, which was put on hiatus Friday afternoon.

Last Sunday, my girlfriend and I were strolling at the ground floor of Power Plant Mall when we bumped in to a stall selling Roast Duck Siopao. The stall's name is Denise and Polly's The Classic Roast Duck Outlet.
This is the first time we heard their store so we decided to try some of their product. We ordered their Roast Duck Siopao and Roast Duck Adobo Flakes Siopao with Kesong Puti(white cheese).
We tried first their Roast Duck Siopao, which costs about Php 45.
The Roast Duck Siopao is full of flavor for its size.
Next, we tried their Roast Duck Adobo Flakes Siopao with Kesong Puti, worth Php 75.
This is my favorite among the two. This is my first time to eat Kesong Puti alongside Adobo flakes as a filling for a Siopao.
These are perfect for snacks and pasalubong.

Mailbag: What Does Marian Gaborik's Injury Mean To The Rangers?
Tom and Steve: What does the injury to Marian Gaborik mean to the Rangers lineup for next season? Does this mean they will go harder after Zach Parise or Rick Nash?
Adam Rotter: I don't know how much this really changes the approach to the offseason for the Rangers. I think the Rangers were going to try and add some scoring depth, not necessarily Zach Parise or Rick Nash, but players to fortify the second and third lines and I think that will still be the plan. Gaborik may only be out the first two months of the season, or he may not miss time at all if the season doesn't start on time.
A guy like David Jones of Colorado, who I have heard the Rangers have had interest in before, and has 47 goals the last two seasons could be an option. Brad Boyes, who has really struggled since scoring 33 goals in 2009 could be a cheap option, or ageless wonder Ray Whitney who put up 77 points in 82 could be. The Rangers need scoring depth that goes beyond the top two lines and those are the kinds of players I think they will target.
Internal candidates could be Casey Wellman or if he has a big camp, Christian Thomas.

World's fattest woman at 56.4st wants to walk up aisle with toyboy fiance
Despite weighing in at 56.4 stone, world's fattest housebound woman is planning to walk up the aisle with her lover who is almost half her age.
Charity Pierce, 38, said that she is determined not to have to get married to her 22-year-old fiance Tony Saur at home, Metro.co.uk reported.
Pierce, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, also revealed that she feared having a heart attack or a stroke and dying in her sleep, but she doesn't want much from life, but just a life.
Meanwhile, Saur, who is helping Pierce lose 20st before the wedding so she can have a life-saving gastric bypass operation, asserted that his fiance's size has never been an issue for him.
Saur believes that Pierce will be a beautiful bride, but also worries that she is going to die early so he tries to support her to lose weight which he is confident she will.
In an effort to achieve her dream goal, Pierce has cut down on her calorie intake and is taking a well balanced diet.

Edoardo Molinari won more than just a tournament Sunday. The 29-year-old Italian also became one of the three captain's picks for Europe's Ryder Cup team.
In one of the toughest decisions by any captain, Colin Montgomerie also selected three-time major winner Padraig Harrington of Ireland and Luke Donald of England, who is No. 10 in the world.
With what Montgomerie called an excess of riches in European
golf, he had to leave off Paul Casey, who is No. 9 in the world
rankings, and Justin Rose, who won twice on the PGA Tour this year
at the Memorial and the AT&T National.
Molinari, who won the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles
on Sunday, will join his brother Francesco on the European team.

Hala Khouri: Why Yoga Works. {Video}
What makes yoga such a powerful force in our lives?
As a teacher, I am always interested in how to convey an answer to this question to both new students and to non-yogis at dinner parties who are wondering what all the fuss is about!
I asked my friend (and teacher training colleague) Hala Khouri from Off The Mat to offer an answer to the questions: Why does yoga work? What does it really do for us?
Now there are of course the obvious answers regarding flexibility, strength, body awareness and balance, but what I found was that this psychologically savvy yoga teacher had a deeper take on the significance, power and benefits of an integrated yoga practice.

(USA TODAY) -- Sophomoric? Silly? Or a smart strategic move?
The jury is out on a new Kmart ad that uses slight of mouth to promote a free shipping service. The online video shows customers who exclaim that they are going to "ship their pants" through a Kmart delivery program -- but it sounds as if they are using a vulgar word that rhymes with ship.
Some social media users have deemed the ad, created by the Draftfcb Chicago agency, "gross" and "vulgar," while many gave kudos to Kmart for having an edgy sense of humor. But even with the negative comments, Kmart got what it wanted: Millions of potential shoppers now know that it offers free shipping for member of its "Shop Your Way" program when the product they want isn't in the store.
News networks such as CNN's HLN are reporting on the controversial ad, while the official YouTube video from Kmart has garnered more than 7.6 million views as of early afternoon Monday.
While most people don't remember one word of past Kmart commercials, this ad is "lighting up the Internet," says Mediapost.com advertising columnist Barbara Lippert.
"People are talking about it. People are writing about it," she says. "It did exactly what it was supposed to do."
If the ad simply said that Kmart had free shipping as part of this program, it wouldn't reap the buzz it's now receiving, says Lippert, adding that people should never underestimate the power "of a doody joke."
"It's fourth-grade humor, but it makes you laugh," she says.
One thing helping the online commercial: it features folks of all ages - from a kid to middle-age shoppers to seniors -- saying "ship my pants" in funny tones. That adds a bit of universally appeal, says Lippert. "It's not degrading anyone." she says.
Kmart spokeswoman Shannelle Armstrong-Fowler says the company is "pleasantly surprised to see the overwhelmingly positive response it has received."
Beginning next week, Kmart will also air the irreverant ad on some cable channels. More than 14,000 Facebook users commented on the off-color video that Kmart posted on its Facebook page. That video also received more than 26,000 "likes" by Monday morning.
"Great commercial, gets your attention and makes you smile. Good job," said Facebook user Norbert R. Gabby.
Yet, Melissa Clark Edgington commented on that Facebook page that she was "disappointed by the lack of character" that Kmart showed. "I understand that times are hard, but if you have to stoop to shooting a commercial that isn't appropriate for my children to hear, then I think it's about time to shut your doors," she said. "Low standards equal a low quality business and low expectations. The ad just seems desperate."
That comment had 50 likes early Monday. Facebook user Sean Farrelly acknowledges that the ad will upset and irritate some, but thinks Kmart will reap overall rewards. "For every 1 customer you've offended, you've gained 1,000 fans with this," he said on Kmart's Facebook page. That comment had 111 likes.
Even with the positive attention, there are risks when a big company like Kmart takes a chance with an ad that appears out of character.
"It can seem like a desperation move since it's so out of their brand image," says Lippert. But most viewers seem to appreciate the Kmart ad's humor, she says. Yet, she stresses that the retailer can't just run a one-off ad and expect sales to increase.
It also has to make sure that other aspects of its business are consumer friendly, such as carry interesting merchandise, as well as have great customer service.

What are the earliest biomarkers for Parkinson's disease (PD), and when do subclinical changes in movement, cognition, sleep, sense of smell and other signs of PD begin?
These questions serve as the focus of PD research conducted by Charles H. Adler, M.D., Ph.D., a neurologist and movement disorders specialist at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. They are particularly important questions because, as Dr. Adler notes, in PD, "By the time of clinical diagnosis, we know that anywhere from 60 percent to 80 percent of a patient's dopamine-producing neurons have degenerated."
One of the best ways to address early detection is to investigate the relationship between postmortem pathology and behavioral and biological markers in a population sample studied longitudinally. In 2011, the National Institutes of Health awarded an $8 million, five-year grant to Banner Sun Health Research Institute (BSHRI) and Mayo Clinic in Arizona to support the National Brain and Tissue Resource for Parkinson's Disease and Related Disorders. This brain and tissue bank is a unique resource and the largest of its kind with more than 1,300 autopsy cases, of which more than 100 are PD, and a continuously maintained enrollment of 1,000 living participants, of whom more than 100 have a diagnosis of PD. Equally important, the research team can draw on the long-term clinical study of individuals enrolled in the brain and tissue donation program.
Thomas G. Beach, M.D., Ph.D., from BSHRI is the principal investigator and will direct the neuropathology aspects of the project. Dr. Adler will direct the clinical aspects. The two physicians also serve as co-principal investigators of the Arizona Parkinson's Disease Consortium, funded by the state of Arizona and The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Their work has led to improved PD classification and advances in risk prediction and understanding of the pathogenesis of PD.
A major focus in the group's investigation is the progression from normal cognition to mild cognitive impairment and dementia. In addition to annual physical examinations and biomarker tests, Dr. Adler conducts in-depth testing of cognition, as well as measures of olfaction, autonomic function and sleep disorders in healthy control subjects and patients with PD enrolled in the program.
Discussing the importance of the PD brain and tissue resource, Dr. Adler says, "Advances made in the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease have come mainly from pathologic and neurochemical samples at autopsy. The creation of a bank for cerebrospinal fluid, brain and other organ tissue in individuals studied over time represents a significant step in moving the field toward better treatments and an eventual cure."

Why did Labor stick with Prime Minister Julia Gillard as its leader?
- From: Herald Sun
- June 05, 2013
TWO years after Julia Gillard died as Prime Minister, Labor still can't get rid of the body. Maybe Kevin Rudd will yet replace Gillard before the election and save some of the 35 seats her discredited Government now risks losing.
But either way, Labor will face not just the usual post mortem of the defeated: what did it do wrong? There is an even more serious question. Why did Labor MPs stick for years with a leader so obviously unelectable: incompetent, untrustworthy and despised by many voters?
I am not wise after the event. As I wrote in March 2011: "Julia Gillard is finished. It seems she's lied too brazenly and nothing in her erratic performance suggests she can recover ...
"Truth is, her record in office is of unbroken failure."
It still is. Even Gillard's one last boast - a massive disability scheme - is just a promise, untested, needing billions more dollars we do not have.
Have your say

Have to agree with all you say although this is just the tip of the iceberg, too much more could be said and we all know it. Gillard and her honchos/cronies would be well put to disappear off the face of the earth, never to be seen or heard from again while the rest of Australia spend many years trying to rebuild the mess..well said Andrew!

Mark P of Perth NOr Posted at 11:20 PM June 05, 2013
Labor knows it is done. They are all just sitting back waiting now for their big payouts and do not give a stuff. Swan and Gillard should donate their payments to charities for the incompetence and lies that they have shown us all over the years. Union hacks do not make for good politicians.

Thank God someone in the media can tell it like it really is. Laurie Oakes is a highly respected political journalist and commentator, but he needs to learn to hide is bias (to Labour) at the appropriate juncture. The Canberra press and most of the left media act as if they don't live in Australia. Can't they see that they also will suffer the effects of this incompetent rabble. It just goes to show that there is none so blind as the biased that will or cannot see!

Spin Baby, Spin Posted at 11:38 PM June 05, 2013
Labor has stuck with Gillard because Union MP's who will lose their seats have been assured jobs with the unions. It's the unions that keep Gillard in power via their union-hack MP's and it's the unions that are responsible for not replacing Gillard and the resultant electoral wipeout. But they don't care because they can put their MP's back in their union-hack jobs. Labor's stuffed until someone addresses the Union movement's control of Labor. It's the Unions and the Union hacks that are killing Labor, not the Labor movement itself as an ideology.

Ahh Bolty as much as you seem to be such a fan of labor ;) you do have a point with Rudd, he is awesome. Our prime minister in exile if you will, and that raises a point that you missed... There is a large percentage of us who will not forgive Gillard and her puppet masters for having the audacity to roll an elected PM. Shame labor, shame. I used to believe in you, but not until Rudd returns. You should have listened to the people instead of your own hubris for once!

I couldn't agree more! I don't care which party you're affiliated with, DO NOT LIE TO THE PUBLIC! It is totally, completely and utterly unacceptable to make a promise on such a contentious issue and then backflip once you're in power. Sorry Julia, whether chickens lay eggs or not you've lied and spent money and lied and spent a bit more and you've long outstayed your welcome. Good day sir!

I hope when or if the Abbott government get elected they employ Andrew Bolt to go to Christmas Island with a megaphone and stand and recite some of the tripe he writes. NOBODY would come to Australia, if they thought that what he says is reflective of the country.

Garry Posted at 12:09 AM June 06, 2013
There was no point in getting rid of Gillard, as they do not have anyone else in their ranks that the voters would trust. Rudd's massive ego killed him off with the voters, and he was there on the " Labor Titanic " as captain, with Gillard when they dumped him.

And the governor of the reserve still thinks Aussies are not spending just because they dont have confidence. Actually theyre not spending because they dont have any money left. So much is being taken up in taxes, levies and all sorts of other charges (think tolls, meters $7ph !!!, rates) that theres simply nothing left to spend.

J B of Perth Posted at 12:11 AM June 06, 2013
"It fell for the global warming faith and imagined the world shared it. It imagined boat people were genuine refugees who wouldn't take advantage of its "compassion"." It's not a real Conservative article without these little gems. It's statements like these that really set Andrew apart from every single other Right Wing media pundit and show his flair for creativity and new and exciting angles. Bolt's 'journalism' reads like a restaurant menu down in Margaret River - all whine and beef with anything left of his own left hand. Environmental and humanitarian causes form part of the 'new left'? Sorry, I completely forgot the left has historically supported corporate profits over ethical environmental practice. Whoops. Get a life mate.

John of Canberra Posted at 12:20 AM June 06, 2013
Wow! Couldn't have put it better. I hope labour lose in September, if only to finally rid themselves of the red scourge that is Gillard. I only wish Costello was still around, because then Abbot and Costello would be a fitting replacement for the red headed clown currently in power.

Alec of Adelaide Posted at 12:21 AM June 06, 2013
Gillard is not terrible. Her problem is the party she has to lead. 2/3 rd are unionists/hacks. Rudd does not belong to this faction. The party is crippled because of its stock. It doesn't matter who leads the party. I don't think they have the courage to change either.

MARCUS of WOY WOY Posted at 12:43 AM June 06, 2013
Hard to disagree,, although we are leading up to the election I have stopped listening to either of them,,, what can Abbott say to make me not vote for him and what could Julia say for me to forgive her and cast my vote her way? although I have been a labour man all my life (except for the last 2 elections) there is no choice no alternative, surely this has to be the end of the greens and Labour who would ever vote for them again? I suppose a stupid nation would.
Comment 26 of 27
Rob of Melbourne Posted at 12:44 AM June 06, 2013
If Gillard believed in the Labor Party and cared about Australia and was a true democrat she would never have taken over the leadership as we the people elected PM Rudd, not to mention she would have stepped down, as the Australian electorate including myself as a Labor voter cant stand her!! But she is so selfish and self absorbed that she would rather have that rambling fool Abbott lead the country than have the decency to BRING BACK RUDD!!

A memo issued last year by the White House Office of Management and Budget mandated reductions in travel spending by 30%. In updated guidelines published last month, the OMB acknowledged that while it is important to eliminate wasteful government spending, bringing federal employees together, particularly at scientific conferences, can be the most efficient and cost-effective means to advance the mission and programmatic goals of governmental agencies.
"Scientific discovery and commercialization are key components of economic growth," said SPIE CEO Eugene Arthurs. "We applaud the OMB's new guidelines and also recognize the need for financial responsibility in government travel spending. But the guidelines need to be supported by funding. Without that, we are encouraging the best and the brightest to work in our government labs, and then tying their hands by restricting their access to the latest research findings and trends, state-of-the-art training and relevant contacts ? the necessary catalysts for invention and progress."
The taxpayer's full return on investment in R&D is dependent on the interchange among government, industry and academia, Arthurs said, "for the sharing of ideas to stimulate new thinking and to ensure that we're building on similar work rather than duplicating what is being done in another lab."
Arthurs stressed that the risks of falling behind in technology development include erosion of homeland- and cyber-security and warfighter-safety capabilities, and losing a leadership edge in global economic competitiveness.

Removing the RAM is an easy task that requires no tools.
Embed this guide
With the HTML code below, you can embed this guide as a small widget on your website.
- Bottom Cover 2 steps
- RAM 1 step
Relevant Parts
Place your thumbs in the depressions cut into the bottom cover.
Rotate the bottom cover counter-clockwise until the white dot painted on the bottom cover is aligned with the ring inscribed on the outer case.
You do not need to apply much downward pressure while turning.
Tilt the mini enough to allow the bottom cover to fall away from the outer case.
Remove the bottom cover and set it aside.
Release the tabs on each side of the RAM chip by simultaneously pushing each tab away from the chip.
These tabs lock the chip in place and releasing them will cause the chip to "pop" up.

Repeat this process if a second RAM chip is installed.
Comments Comments are onturn off
So if I were to replace the Ram on my mac mini I would only have the option to choose between the 2 gb chip or the 4gb chip? I know dumb question lol.
2x8GB is as much as those motherboards can handle.
I accidentally broke the little things that hold the cover to the case. Is there a cheap replacement to the cover? Those clips are held onto it very weakly.
