Excellent recipe for a Thanksgiving must-have that people actually don't like all that much. This version is outstanding, and people actually did like it -- not icky-sweet, but piquant and fresh, the condiment it's supposed to be. The orange-julienne is pretty, and easy to cut very fine (this from someone who hates to julienne).flag if inappropriate
Great tasting and easy to make! Turned over some jellied can lovers over to this recipe!flag if inappropriate
This was very tasty - just made it this morning. I used large oranges, so the liquid was a bit too much... be aware that midway through boiling the concoction down, it might be wise to use a slotted spoon to briefly scoop the berries out (once they've split and reached that great 'whole cranberry' cranberry sauce taste)... while the liquid boils down a bit. I liked the orange zest taste so much I added a shot of cointreau (after briefly scooping out the berries during boil-down). It's a nice touch.flag if inappropriate
This sauce is so yummy, and my mother in law actually asked me for the recipe (that's a BIG deal!) I don't know why anyone thinks this is bitter, but they likely screwed it up. I have made this at least 10 times and it always comes out yummy and sweet/tart.flag if inappropriate
Wonderfully distinct from the tinny store-bought version. Quick, simple. Our international family loves it because it's not too sweet - and they like the 'bite'. How do I know? They keep asking me to make it.flag if inappropriate
Everyone loved it! Not too sweet; I added an extra teaspoon of ginger, great for ginger lovers.flag if inappropriate
I thought this was an excellent cranberry sauce--perhaps the people who found it to be bitter included some of the white pith from the orange peels, rather than just the orange part.flag if inappropriate
This cranberry relish looks beautiful on the table. It was fun to watch the lemon juice and sugar carmelize. Everyone here agreed that it needed more sugar. The ginger taste is nice.flag if inappropriate
I tried this recipe for Thanksgiving dinner this year. It was so bitter and the consistency like paste (I'll admit here that I may have over cooked it) that everyone took one bite and refused to eat more! The entire recipe, minus a few bites, went in the trash immediately following dinner. Horrible!flag if inappropriate
I enjoyed this recipe very much, but I had my doubts that it would turn out. The first time I over-cooked the sugar. I'm still not sure at what point is best to throw the orange zest in. It did not sugar coat it as I expected. However, my end product did look like the picture after letting the end product cool in the pan for an hour or so. Next time I'd add a tad less orange zest.flag if inappropriate

What I Would Buy If I Won An Extra $10,000
Just Imagine, Wow! I just won $10,000 and my imagination goes wild with all the things I want. Then the sensible subconscious Rudy pops up and says, "Is it what you want or what you need Rudy?" Oh heck, lets go for wants because the needs will always be there. I really want a new 3/4 ton diesel truck and ten thousand dollars will make a decent down payment. How about some real nice rifles .308, .338 Lapua and a 7mm magnum those are the calibers and I'd like the .308 left-hand AR-10, a .338 Lapua left-handed Weatherby or Remington-custom sniper-rifle and a left-handed 7mm bolt-action with a fluted barrel and enough ammo to spend a week at the range. I've been wanting a metal building out behind the house, since the house I have doesn't have so much as a garage. I'd like that, a two or three car metal shop building to do fixer-up projects like build more game tables and picnic tables that some of the charities I work with use for fund raising. But after much thought, I bring myself back to reality with this question, what is it you really want that ten thousand can buy you Rudy?
What I've really wanted for 21 years and have not been able to get it because finances weren't right or I got too busy doing radio and the price of concrete is sky high or I've saved up the money but something else came up and the kids needed the money or something needed fixing. What I want is a driveway. Plain and simple my driveway in good ole Americana concrete. I've wanted to get my old gravel driveway concreted for years and if I won $10,000 that would be for sure what I would get. I can just imagine my little girl rollerskating with all my grandchildren riding their tricycles on my new concrete driveway. I can just see my son out there washing and waxing his car. Oh, the things I could do with ten thousand dollars. So when ever that sounder for the Kean Cash Contest plays on the radio, I immediately start imagining how $10,000 cash will change my life.
Even if I won one thousand dollars I'd find a way to make one of my wants happen, like a new Weatherby, Remington, Savage or AR-10. How about you what would you do if you won one thousand dollars? what would you do if you won $10,000?

Several Oklahoma leaders of Christian nonprofits said they were "cautiously optimistic" about the new Health and Human Services mandate opt-out options proffered by the Obama administration on Friday.
Oklahoma faith leaders are cautiously optimistic about health mandate change
However, they said they are troubled that the new options will not help for-profit businesses like Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby nor do the new choices address what they see as the government's trampling over their civil rights.
"This latest move by the administration shows the impact that citizens of faith are having," the Rev. Anthony Jordan, executive director-treasurer of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, said Friday.
"Therefore we should redouble our efforts toward the goal of a complete restoration of religious liberty and not be satisfied with its mere shadow."
The convention — representing the state's Southern Baptists — had expressed concerns about the mandate through a resolution asking President Barack Obama to withdraw the mandate entirely.
The resolution was approved in November 2012 by delegates at the convention's annual meeting.
A representative of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma City said the faith group's leaders had not had time to analyze the new options.
However, Patrick Raglow, executive director of Catholic Charities of Oklahoma City, said though he also had not read the "fine print" of the HHS amendment, he was pleased that concessions were being made for those organizations like his own that object to paying for contraception and abortion-inducing drugs for employees.
"The potential was we'd have to choose between not providing health care for our employees or providing health care for our employees that violates our tenets. It should have never happened in the first place," Raglow said.
Loren Gresham, president of Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, said he was cautiously optimistic about the effect the new opt-out options will have on schools like SNU and other religious nonprofits. He said he remains concerned about Hobby Lobby's battle against the government-imposed mandate.

The purpose of this study was to see whether more apperceptive responses could be elicited by using the Children's Apperception Test (CAT) in a way which required the child to become motorically involved with the pictures. Very short enumerative and/or descriptive responses to the CAT are typical of the preschool child (Bryd & Witherspoon 1954). This is an important limitation of the CAT since the amount and quality of interpretative responses are important for the test's usefulness as a clinical instrument.

• 2013-14 Schedule Updated July 11, 2013
MADISON, Wis. -- Fresh off a revitalizing season last year, the Wisconsin wrestling team will look to build on its created momentum over the course of a 2013-14 schedule that the team released Monday.
The Badgers will spend the first month on the road. Wisconsin opens the season in Tennessee against Tennessee-Chattanooga Nov. 8, before competing at the Hokie Open on Nov. 10. The Badgers then return to the state of Wisconsin for match-ups with UW-Whitewater and UW-Parkside Nov. 15 in Whitewater.
After that, Wisconsin takes a trip to our nation's capital to face American University on Nov. 21.
The Badgers will take part in their first tournament of the season, competing at the Navy Classic in Annapolis, Md., on Nov. 23. The month-long road trip concludes with a trip to Northern Iowa for a Nov. 30 dual.
Wisconsin will make its season debut at the UW Field House, and open Big Ten Conference competition, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. against Illinois. The Badgers and Illini did not match up last season as Illinois finished fifth at the Big Ten championships and crowned Jesse Delgado a Big Ten and NCAA champion at 125 lbs.
Later that weekend, the Badgers travel to Michigan State for a Dec. 8 dual against the Spartans.
UW closes out the first half of the season three weeks later at the Midlands Championships at Welsh-Ryan Arena in Evanston, Ill., Dec. 29-30.
Following the break, the Badgers open the 2014 half of their schedule at home against Ohio State on Jan. 10 before traveling to Minneapolis to face-off with Minnesota on Jan. 12.
After a bye week, Wisconsin has a pair of Big Ten road duals, Jan. 24 at Indiana and Jan. 26 at Northwestern.
The Badgers host North Dakota State on Feb. 2 and Nebraska on Feb. 21 before closing out their dual season two weeks later on Feb. 23 with a much-anticipated match-up with Iowa. That match will be Hawkeyes' first trip to the UW Field House since the 2009-10 season.
Wisconsin will host the 2014 Big Ten Championships, which will take place Mar. 8-9 in Madison.
The 2014 NCAA Championships will be held in Oklahoma City, Okla., Mar. 20-22.

Got my notice. My build date is 03/2012.
Is it fairly easy to check? How do you get to it, to check?
I also have the Dieselgeek SS, and I haven't had to make any adjustments since my install. I have several thousand mileson it too.
Did you have to change the rotors too?
I've been running this on my stage 2+ R, for the past ~6K miles. No issues so far, especially in this colder weather. My clutch was slipping in the cold this time last year, and so far this Sachs...

Can anyone with a 4 door Golf R post a photo of their tire pressure information sticker on the B pillar? I think mine is wrong since it indicates 195/17 with 34 PSI as the suggested pressure. My car,...
Considering the mileage and the lack of demand for the car...I'd say that is probably the going rate. I got a quote from Carmax last year when my car only had 4K miles and I was quoted $26K.
What's your goal? How much power are you shooting for?
Are these maintenance free like the H&R bars?
I updated my iPhone 4 to IOS 7 and haven't had any issues at all.
Hey, today is talk like a pirate day...quick...what's a pirate's favorite car?

Welcome to the R family. Planning to keep it stock or modding it for more smiles per mile?

Peak oil postponed again
Posted By admin On June 24, 2010 @ 9:17 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Science & Technology | Comments Disabled
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
June 24, 2010
So there is plenty of oil and gas after all. Prices will bumble along gently until well into the next decade. We are becoming more efficient in our use of energy, with 3pc extra savings annually. That is a faster pace than the rising real cost of fuel. Mankind will not run out of fuel for a very long time.
That at least is the story today from the International Energy Agency. Their medium-term outlook for fossil fuel markets is a dazzling contrast with last year's warnings that a combination of break-neck industrialisation in China and lack of investment in new oil fields (thanks to the credit freeze) would exhaust global spare capacity by 2013.
The IEA said then that we would need "four new Saudi Arabias" within a generation to cope with the rise of China, and there were no such Saudi Arabias in sight. Such are the perils of forecasting the volatile variables of supply and demand for oil.

CSU Chico Presidential Search To Begin in April(April 10, 2003) – The California State University Board of Trustees will begin the search this month for a new president of CSU Chico to replace current President Manuel Esteban, who is retiring this summer.
The first meeting of the search committee will be held on Tuesday, April 22, at the campus in Kendall Hall, Room 103. This is the first and only meeting of the committee that is an open meeting.
Under the CSU Board of Trustees' presidential selection policy, adopted in 1997, the chair of the board establishes a five-person Trustees' Committee for the Selection of the President, which is composed of the chair of the board, the chancellor and three trustees, one of whom is designated as committee chair by the board chair. Board policy also requires the chair to appoint an advisory group to the trustees' committee. The Advisory Committee to the Trustees' Committee for the Selection of the President is composed of representatives of the faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as a member of the campus advisory board, all of whom are selected by the campus. Also on the advisory committee are a vice president or academic dean from the campus, and a president of another CSU campus, both selected by the chancellor.
Trustee Roberta Achtenberg will chair the Trustees Search Committee for the Selection of the President. The other trustee members of the committee are Murray Galinson and Kyriakos Tsakopoulos. CSU Board of Trustees' Chair Debra S. Farar and CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed are also members of the committee.
Members of the Advisory Committee to the Trustees' Committee for the Selection of the President are: Sarah Blackstone, dean, CSU Chico College of Humanities and Fine Arts; Scott Chalmers, chair-elect, CSU Chico University Advisory Board; Stuart King, chair, CSU Chico Staff Council; James Postma, CSU Chico professor of chemistry; Arthur Sanchez, CSU Chico professor of psychology; Glen Toney, CSU Chico Alumni Association; Shelley Young, CSU Chico professor of Nursing; Jolene Koester, president of CSU Northridge; and the new Chico Associated Students president, who will be elected next week.
The purpose of the first meeting is to discuss the role of the committee, set the schedule of meetings, review the descriptions of the campus and the presidential position, and discuss any other business related to the search process.
It is expected that the committee will not meet over the summer, but an advertisement for the presidential vacancy will be placed in the Chronicle of Higher Education in May. The committee will then meet again in September to review resumes and select those to interview. Those interviews would take place in October, followed by campus visits by each candidate. It is expected that the Board of Trustees will select a new president by the end of October.
Current President Esteban will retire in late summer after 16 years with the California State University. He began his CSU career in 1987 as dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at CSU Bakersfield, and then moved to Humboldt State University in 1990 where he served as provost and vice president for academic affairs before assuming the Chico presidency in 1993. CSU Chancellor Reed is expected to name an interim president for Chico in May. That person would not be in the search pool, and would serve until the new president arrived on the campus.

The California State University is the largest system of senior higher education in the country, with 23 campuses, nearly 408,000 students and 45,000 faculty and staff. Since the system was created in 1961, it has awarded 2 million degrees. The CSU is renowned for the quality of its teaching and for the job-ready graduates it produces. Its mission is to provide high-quality, affordable education to meet the ever-changing needs of the people of California.

LAKE LANIER ISLANDS — The "Phil Niekro Fins & Skins Celebrity Pro/AM" will be held at Lake Lanier Islands Resort today and Saturday. The event includes a golf outing at Golf at Legacy today and a bass tournament on Saturday at Sunset Cove. Both events can be viewed by the public."It's time for the community to step up to the plate and let the soldiers know we haven't forgotten about them," said Niekro, Hall of Fame pitcher and former Atlanta Brave. "They (our troops) are taking the bullet for me, and for you, and our families. And people sometimes forget to realize that. So we want to let them know how much we appreciate them by helping take care of them." Soldiers will also participant in the events. The bass tournament will be held in conjunction with the season-opening event of the Bass Pro Shops PAA Tournament Series. The PAA will provide each team — which consists of an amateur fisherman and a celebrity — one PAA guide, fishing gear and a boat. The bass tournament concludes with a weigh-in at Bass Pro Shops in Lawrenceville at 3 p.m., when each team will weigh in their five heaviest bass. Fans will get the opportunity to take photos and get autographs of their favorite celebrities and professional anglers. Niekro hopes the event will boost the morale of our troops and those who support them for years to come. "This is our first year. We want to make this annual. Any company, any individual who would like to make a donation, put it where it needs to be … at Operation One Voice," Niekro said. Operation One Voice is a nonprofit organization that helps meet immediate needs of wounded or fallen Special Operations Forces troops and their families. In addition to Niekro, scheduled celebrity participants include: Morten Andersen, Steve Bartkowski, Kevin Butler, Bobby Cox, Michael Finney, Karl Malone, Lou Piniella, Ron Reed, Dan Reeves, Chris Redman, Ozzie "The Wizard" Smith, O'Neil Williams and Robin Yount. For more information, visit www.OperationOneVoice.org.

What Is Tutoring?
Tutoring is one person helping another person develop the skills necessary to become an independent learner.
Why Should I Get A Tutor?
Tutoring can provide you with an opportunity to gain a more individualized learning experience. Working with a student or professional tutor can help you to improve your academic performance within a subject area, and learn valuable study skills that can help you in all of your classes.
What Are My Tutoring Options?
Student and professional tutors work with students individually or in small groups. All Ohio University Southern students are eligible for up to two hours of tutoring per week, at no cost. In addition, Drop-In Tutoring is available for OUS students during specified hours.
Who Are The Ohio University Southern Tutors?
OUS tutors are students that have achieved a minimum of a 3.0 cumulative grade point average, and have earned at least a "B" in the subjects they are tutoring. Tutors receive training and have the primary goal of helping students achieve academic independence. The Student Success Center also employs some professional tutors to work with students.
For Which Classes Are Tutors Available?
The majority of tutoring is provided for 100 and 200 level courses. Upper level students can usually make arrangements with their instructors for the help they need. Tutor availability is not guaranteed for any class, however every effort will be made to ensure that a student is paired with a tutor upon request.
How Do I Request A Tutor?
To request a tutor, come to The Student Success Center (or the main office at the Proctorville campus) and complete a Tutor Request Form. After receiving your completed form, The Student Success Center staff will give your contact information to a qualified tutor who will contact you personally to set up an initial tutoring session.
What Is Drop-In Tutoring?
Tutors are available so that students can "drop in" for assistance with specific questions or problems.
Where Does Drop-In Tutoring Occur?
In Ironton, tutors will be in The Student Success Center, which is located in Room 214 in the Collins Building. In Proctorville, tutors are located in classrooms at the Eastern Lawrence County Center.
Is Tutoring Guaranteed During Drop-In Tutoring?
Tutoring will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Tutors may need to limit the time they spend with each student, depending on the number of students waiting for assistance.
How Much Does It Cost?
Drop-In Tutoring is FREE for all Ohio University Southern students.

Michael Steele: Fakin' The Funk
So I see Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele "rolled" into the state the other day to drum up support for his party. Along the way, Mr. "Hat To The Back" stopped by a few places to encourage Republicans (presumably the white ones) to make more of a concerted effort to reach out to minorities.
And no, I'm not going to knock the man for trying. Even if I'm not sure if he has been all that helpful in banishing racial stereotypes, I realize he's a leader of a major political party and so he's got to do what he's got to do. Still, I think he's got a tough row to hoe with this young minority outreach thing, especially among young black people -- and if you ask me, he's one very big reason why.
Certainly, there's also black folks' historical resistance to the right-wing message, no matter how earnest the Republican ambassadors who deliver them. And I think this resistance hardens even more among the younger black voters Steele has said he wants to appeal to.
But another truth is that there are a handful of GOP themes that resonate with many black voters, due largely to the heavy influence that religion has in shaping a level of black social conservatism. No matter what the Armstrong Williamses of the world try to tell you in the course of selling a book, black people do not consider Republicanism new, maverick or "cutting edge." (We get it; most of us just disagree, OK?) Even so, you can still win plenty of votes among African-Americans with talk about God, family and "freedom," and the GOP has virtuosos who can hit those notes with perfect pitch at times.
But that's rare as compared to many other critical times minorities have seen the right wing as utterly tone deaf, not to mention hostile, when it comes to the issues and interests of many African-Americans, Latinos and others. And while I could riff almost infinitely about examples of this and why black folks in particular wouldn't be receptive to the GOP "brand," I am, as I said earlier, more compelled to think about why Steele himself is such a repellent.
From the moment he was named chairman of the RNC, Steele has launched into what, to this longtime hip-hop head, seems like one the lamest, bumbling and most crass attempts to develop crossover "hip-hop appeal" to younger, so-called "urban" voters that I've seen in some time. Dude wants to come off cool, but instead ends up embarrassing himself like some middle-age man trying to spit contemporary slang to a teenage girl at a kiddie disco. (He's also gotten some help in this regard from Michele "You Be Da Man" Bachmann and a few others.)
I can really only speak for me, of course, but Steele's timing seems incredibly poor, his ear for the broader black political conversation made of the worst kind of tin. At a time when he should be talking public policy to the audiences he wants to reach, he brags ignorantly about how he doesn't "do" policy. Just when he needs to be striking a pose of strength and intellectual independence, he bends over for the likes of Rush Limbaugh. ("I was maybe a little bit inarticulate???" Sorry, but that's just straight-up shufflin' in my book.) And when he should be trying to roll out something of a welcome mat for a black community rightly suspicious of right-wing policies, he's telling black voters that many whites in the GOP are scared of even him.
Just as bad, the hip-hop zeitgeist he seeks to channel is played out. Steele talks about hats turned backwards in an age when rappers like Jay-Z -- and the millions of young black, brown and white urban sophisticates who dig his style -- are trading in Timberland boots and sagging jeans for suits and sweaters. He's bopping around awkwardly tossing out 90s-era phrase like "bling bling" (really, Mike, even my mother knows that one's played). Cool to young hip-hop heads means something different in 2009 than it did 10, even five, years ago. And a big reason for it can be summed up in a short phrase: "The Obama Effect."
I get that Steele isn't a Dem, but if he really wants to make inroads, he should take a minute to realize how the election of the first black President has changed the game to the hip-hop generation. Obama raised the bar of expectation and offered young people glimpses of possibilities that, even to the post-civil rights crowd, used to be considered little more than wishful thinking.
And Obama didn't do it by strutting around and speaking in dated hip-hop catchphrases. Watching him campaign, for instance, it was clear that hip-hop flavored some of his style -- what hip-hop fan can forget how Obama "brushed his shoulders off" a la Jay-Z when dismissing critics or how he exchanged pounds ("terrorist fist jabs?") with his wife. But it all seemed natural and appropriate…and dignified. Steele, by comparison, seems to be little more than a bad caricature, a political version of Mudflap and Skidz in juxtaposition to Barack's Optimus Prime.
He starts from behind the 8-ball just by being a right-wing conservative, of course. Even though I think there are times when rap does indeed have its right-wing moments -- such as when MCs brag incessantly about how much money they've made and how they won't give you a dime of it -- I don't think this is the overarching sentiment that informs political thought among black voters who listen to rap. (Steele also probably doesn't help himself with young black voters when he attacks Obama, but like I said, that comes with the man's job so I get that part of his patter.)
Worse than that, though, are his frustrating, bizarre, mildly offensive, occasionally hilarious and always failed attempts to find the right pitch or pose. I think young people of color could accept that Steele's not really hip-hop and perhaps still listen to his message. But right now, he's fakin' the funk. And I'm pretty sure he won't convert many young voters -- not young urban ones anyway -- by coming off like a bad lounge singer struggling to retrofit old-school rhymes to his sleep-inducing musical stylings.

BRASHER FALLS - Stephan J. Vigliotti Sr. has been named as the new superintendent of the St. Lawrence Central School District, replacing Stephen M. Putman who has served as district superintendent since 2005 and plans to retire at the end of the school year.
Mr. Vigliotti has been the superintendent of schools at the General Brown Central School District in Dexter since 2002. He was also a finalist for an upcoming superintendent vacancy at Norwood-Norfolk Central School.
St. Lawrence Central initially had 10 candidates apply for the position, and that list was narrowed own to three individuals who were brought in for community interviews with administrators, teachers and community members.
The search was then narrowed down to Mr. Vigliotti and Lisa L. Grenville, who began working in the St. Lawrence Central School District in August 2005 when she was appointed as the elementary school principal. She took over as high school principal in September 2012 and also serves as the districts special education director.

Television, movies, and video games have welcomed lady action stars with outstretched arms. Tune in to some regularly scheduled programming, and you'll see lots of petite women fending off thugs or monsters with their bare hands. How embarrassing is it for the fallen bad guys in these situations? How is such a small woman able to lift a 200-pound man over her head? Who cares? Watching a woman emasculate an evil enemy is empowering for women, enticing for men, and makes for a visually appealing action sequence. When it comes to kicking some serious testosterone-fueled ass, the following four women are the cream of crop.

Beautiful photo by Besimo
Dear Santa,
It's been a while since we last talked. When I was little I would write you a letter every year before Christmas and lay it out in the garden for your elves. A few weeks later you would show up on our doorstep, sacks full of wonderful presents. But then you stopped coming. And I stopped writing you. At first I was disappointed - why didn't you want to see us anymore? And what about the presents? But like with everything, I got used to your absence. And eventually I didn't think about the presents as much, either.
This year the thought of presents hasn't crossed my mind once. Don't get me wrong - I've been wrapping up delightful gifts for all the people I love. But I haven't been able to think of anything to wish for myself. There are, of course, always things that would be nice to have. But all those things really aren't that important.
This year has been though. Yes, there have been ups and downs as my life has turned itself over. I have explored sides of myself I didn't even know existed. And gathered much courage to step outside my comfort zone. Yet it's been a really inspiring year - maybe the most inspiring one so far. And along my journey I have come to find more and more, that it is not the superficial things that really matter to me, but those which I already have. Love, friendship and togetherness. Positivity.
So this year Santa, joulupukki, I wish that I can keep all the wonderful things in my life. Let us all stay healthy and alive, and become closer to each other. And let everyone else in the world love each other a little more. And to those who I have not been able to keep, I hope you get along. Say hi to the birds and bunnies in doggy heaven you two (because unlike the human kind, it exists)!
I wish everyone a really happy and peaceful Christmas!
Lots of Love,
P.S. Thank you all for your kind words about Twinky.

his girlfriend doesn't like you
- Dedicated to ChristbelleLeynes
- View Cast
"LI LI! Where's my baby?" Her high pitch squeaky voice echoed through his flat. You rolled your eyes, and stood up from your spot next to Liam on the couch, knowing you would later be harassed for it. You headed for the bathroom. Your lunch was warning you that it might make another appearance. She swiveled her hips in her skin tight jeans as she made her way to Liam. You told yourself not to look, but you did. She plopped down next to him, and ran her fingers down his neck to his spine, and pulled him into her lips. You ran the guest bedroom forgetting your earlier plans for the bathroom. You threw yourself under the covers of your bed, and disappeared from the world. You must have fallen asleep. Your rumbling stomach told you to feed it. You left your room and made your way to the kitchen, forgetting the reason why you ended up in the bedroom in the first place. His girlfriend was still here, leaning on his chest, and running her fingers through his hair. Liam looked up when you entered the room and asked if you wanted to watch a movie with them. You shook your head and did your best to give them a kind smile. You searched through the fridge looking for anything appetizing. When you turned around, his girlfriend leaned against the door frame, evaluating you. "Your disgusting. Why do you even try?" she sneered through her perfectly whitened teeth.
"Hey!" You smiled and went in for a hug. His girlfriend stood behind him, crossing her arms, and twisting her face into a judgmental expression. Her eyes were screaming I hate you. You ignored it and greeted her kindly, and asked her how she was. She replied with a grunt. You proceeded to the boys, who kindly invited you into their arms. The boys invited you to their concert. Apparently, Zayn's girlfriend had been invited to. She absolutely loathed you, and she never cared to hide it. You weren't really sure if Zayn picked up all the hints though. He probably thought you were just tripping over your own feet, and not her leg. He probably thought she was being sarcastic, when you knew she was dead serious. He probably thought you got on just fine. You were walking through long hallways, following the boys to a room in the back. Zayn was behind you with his girlfriend. "Why did you invite her Zayn? She's so stupid. I don't know why you even talk to her." Your feet stopped moving. The boys didn't hear, and were skipping down the hall in their usual cheery way. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Zayn's voice bounced off the walls.
You slid into the booth of Lou's favorite restaurant. Liam slid in next to you, and you were stuck sitting across from Louis's girlfriend. She looked you up and down looking for something to pester you about. "Nice scarf." She coughed. Play it stupid. Play it stupid. "Thanks." Louis looked at you questioningly. You shook your head and gave him a reassuring smile. "Did you even brush your hair? Seriously you would think that someone with a face like yours would try a little bit harder." You laughed, and quickly brought your lips to your straw, and sipped on water. You looked to Louis. He looked confused, like he thought he was missing something. You decided to talk to Liam. You were pretty deep in conversation and you almost forgot about her presence completely until she dug her heels into your foot. You jumped back and gasped in pain. "STOP!"
Niall: "I'm so glad your coming." Niall was planning a camping trip, and he was inviting you to join him. It sounded amazing. You loved to camp, you would love it even more if Niall was there, so you greatly accepted the invitation. There was only one problem. His girlfriend was going too. Maybe it was your imagination, but you were pretty sure she didn't like you. The morning of the trip his girlfriend sent you a text with directions. You thanked her, and packed your car with your bags. You followed her directions perfectly. You thought you were going to the right place as the landscape became greener and the sky became bluer. You followed winding roads and found yourself driving through the woods. You looked for the correct address and maybe a big sign indicating the campsite, but instead, the numbers you were searching for where glued to an old mailbox. You pulled up to the driveway, to find yourself parked outside an abandoned home. We're you at the right address? Yes. Did she make a mistake? There's no way she could have completely screwed up the address. No, she did this deliberately, and you were in the middle of no where.

Your headline in the Sunday issue of The Tennessean betrays the warped vision of business and the role of government, and it overlooks their claims about the evils of regulation.
"Regulators dropped the ball" in connection with the meningitis "outbreak," indeed! This meningitis was no "outbreak," but another result of callous disregard for public safety in the seeking of profit. To suggest the disaster was the fault of the regulator when it is clearly caused by the criminal behavior of the drug company is at best irresponsible.
Remember the drumbeat of the business community in Nashville, reported faithfully in The Tennessean, demands less regulation of business. The regulators were in fact ignored. Blaming this on government is clearly deceitful.

B-HP's Green is most familiar with Clinton, Daniel
Wayne Green won't make a public prediction of tonight's Clinton-Daniel game, but of the thousands of prognosticators at Singleton Field tonight, Green is the most informed.
The Belton-Honea Path coach watched his Bears' three losses come at the hands of the Red Devils and Lions, their only losses in a 9-3 campaign.
"It's kind of nice you've got the only teams that beat you are in the Upper State championship," Green said.
Green has some overlapping allegiances in this game. He's a Clinton alumnus, and shares Western AAA ties with Daniel.
As the only common opponent for the teams, Green had already heard from both coaches by Monday morning, and planned to give them equal information.
He said he'd tell both that neither has seen a team like the other.
"Daniel's definitely got a speed advantage," Green said. " Clinton's advantages are they're so strong, (their) backs are so strong. Clinton 's extremely patient, two and three yards (per play) don't bother them a bit. Daniel's got speed and skill course at wide out positions. Clinton 's got tall defensive backs, (but) I don't know if Clinton 's played somebody with Daniel's speed outside."
Clinton could be the first team in several weeks that's both dedicated, and has the capabilities, to run the ball.
But that's also what Daniel prides itself in stopping. While Greenville didn't use the run as a priority last week, the Lions still created pressure on the quarterback by using just five defenders in the box, allowing them to drop six in pass coverage.
Daniel's defensive linemen love a challenge, like they got two weeks ago against Chester, and tonight they'll get challenges by the spoonful. Featured in Clinton's trademark wish bone and two tight end I-formation attacks are Taviouzie Booker and Ke'otis Goggins.
But Clinton, which has used primarily the same offensive philosophy for at least as long as coach Andy Young's 16-year tenure, doesn't do it with tricky plays.
"I bet their entire offensive playbook is four pages," Green said. "But each one of those plays is completely dissected."
Clinton 's success is built upon tough-minded kids who simply have more muscle and desire than most of its opponents. It's worked, too. Clinton's had nine double digit win seasons in Young's 16 seasons, which was a carryover from legendary coach Keith Richardson, who coached the Red Devils to six state championships from 1969-1992.
Can Daniel uphold its own championship tradition at venerable old Singleton Field, which holds its final game tonight?
Clinton showed last week it could erase a 14-point deficit even with its clock-draining offense. But as Green noted, if Daniel gets its own running game going, "they have a good shot at winning."
In games where each team scored at least three touchdowns, Clinton is 1-3. Daniel, meanwhile, has only allowed one team, Chester, more than eight points.
"If it's a high-scoring game," Green said. "It's definitely in Daniel's favor."

Mike Tyson, the source for about 88% of all our entertainment news, has confirmed that he's coming back for The Hangover Part III. This announcement wouldn't have even been newsworthy, except after the tepid reception of The Hangover Part II, the producers and cast said that they were going to take things in a different direction.
Oh well. They held out as long as they could.
No plot details are available, but we'll leave you with this nugget from producer/director Todd Phillips:
"Obviously we always envisioned it as a trilogy. The third would be very much a finale and an ending… I haven't discussed it with these actors yet. [It would] not follow the same template, but is very much a new idea."
Obviously. It would be ridiculous and reckless if they had just done the one.

This week's WIKI OF THE WEEK is the Daffodil Advocacy Project's website. The Wiki is very clear and easy to understand and contains a really helpful and generic section called 'What is advocacy?' that you should add to your portals. Daffodil have also added an 'under construction' place holder for one of their unfinished sections. This is a really good idea as it lets visitors to the website know exactly what is going on. If you want to use the same placeholder for your own unfinished sections you will be able to find it in the gallery….just don't forget to come back and finish building your website later.

BLUE BELL, Pa., Oct. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE Amex: INO), which is advancing synthetic vaccines to fight cancers and infectious diseases, announced today that VGX-3100, its investigational SynCon® vaccine for treating cervical dysplasia and cancer caused by human papillomavirus, was highlighted by Fierce Vaccines as one of 10 Promising Therapeutic Vaccines (see VGX-3100 – Cervical cancer). Inovio is currently enrolling patients with CIN 2/3 or CIN 3 cervical dysplasias in its Phase II clinical study being conducted in multiple centers around the US and sites in Canada, Korea, South Africa and Australia.
The article noted: "Fierce Vaccines spotlights 10 therapeutic vaccines now being tested in humans and generating buzz. Those for cancer get the most attention, in part because their anticipated gentleness stands in such stark contrast to the known toxicities of conventional chemotherapies….
"[Inovio's] VGX-3100 is a therapeutic DNA vaccine candidate, now in Phase II testing for the treatment of cervical dysplasia and cancer caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18.

Inovio is conducting Phase II clinical trials of related vaccine candidates based on DNA associated with leukemia and hepatitis C virus, and Phase I studies for influenza and HIV.

She cause ripples with her acting skills and interpreted her scripts professionally. Then, Cross River State-born actress, Shan George made headlines as one of the sexy actresses in Nollywood. She opens up on her career and life
You have been quiet for a while, what have you been up to?
I am working on my latest film entitled 'Finding Goodluck'. It will be released very soon.
It was said you withdrew because of the emergence of young girls in the industry?
I have heard this lot of times but we should all realise that this industry has no age limit. I am still acting and will still be acting till death. I was not seen for sometime because when you do a job for about 10 years or more, you are balanced well and need not be seen everywhere like before. That does not mean you are no longer in the industry. Entertainment is ageless and unending.
Or were you intimidated?
I think it's a shallow way of thinking. It's not a competition of youthfulness. It is an industry that accommodates everybody of any age. Actors such as Justus Esiri and Sam Loco-Efe died as actors at a much matured age. It is no longer the home video era where you shoot a movie in two weeks. Now, movies are taken to the cinema and that means your script has to be very good. The same applies to your logistics of location, audition, actors and lots more. All these take a very long period to put together. My latest work took me two years to put together. If you are seeing in me in 10 movies some years back, it's no longer like that because I am more involved in film production. Some people should grow up, please.
So far, how many movies have you produced?
I produced my first movie when I was at the University of Lagos which was in 2008. It was titled All for Winnie. Till date, I have produced 22 movies in all.
Where did you get the money to fund all these works?
It has been God all the way.
There are some actresses who haven't produced a movie till date?
You don't have to produce a film if you don't have the desire to do so.
What inspired you to go into production even as an actress?
I started as an actress and a producer. Let me say its desire and ability that brought me up into producing. Some people may not just want to produce, not because they don't have the money, but they don't desire it.
How has those scandals published in the media affected you?
As a human being, such things affect me. How we cope with it is what makes us different. For me, I see it as the hazard of the profession. Fortunately, my children are adults and can decipher truth from falsehood. Truth is, when people write false comments about you, those who are very close to you (your family) always know the truth. They are those who matter to me.
Once you have a clear conscience, then there is no fear.
How do you cope with fans who either like or hate you for roles you play in films?
I love all of them. I show them love because I know some will hate you and others will like you. The men? You don't even need to be a celebrity before men rush at you. Any man makes advances at every good-looking woman.
Where did the issue of your third marriage emanate from?
There was no third marriage. Actually, it was a role I played in a movie. Entitled 'Heartbreak', it was shot late last year in Abuja. In the movie, I got married and the production pictures circulated in the media as part of publicity stunt for the movie. Then, some bloggers, who claim to be journalists, got hold of it and said I got married! It was just a movie wedding not a real one.
When do you plan to re-marry since your children are all grown and you have debunked any recent marriage?
I have re-married! There has been no divorce although we have fought and gone our separate ways, but we are still together.
Let's talk about your marriage
I don't think it is a relevant question because it is an African mentality. It is only a man who wants to ask you out that should ask if I am married or not. The Shan George in films and that in real life are two different people. The Shan George they created in the entertainment was full of life, loved high-flying lifestyle and was sexy. That has nothing to do with my person.
The reality of it is that most people have this sex idol image and they want to keep hammering on the sex issue. They keep saying I wear skimpy clothes but now some girls wear more terrible clothes. In those days, we wore skimpy clothes only to act films but now you see them wear it on the streets!
Are there times you regret being an actress?
Yes. I do nurse regrets when people assume you are the roles you interpret in films. It is make-believe and if you don't do it well, no producer comes for you again. The number two challenge of acting is the fact that people think you are what they see in movies. If you were living in a big house or you are a big Abuja babe and then when they see you in real life they want to see you in that wealthy appearance and opulence which is not in existence and then it has a psychological effect on those acting.
There was a time I was pelted with tomatoes at Alade market because some of those people believed I snatched my friend's husband in a movie! That aside, some actors act as rich men/women in films and cannot extricate themselves from such roles in reality. They now live beyond their means and get involved in scandals because they are so desperate to meet with the standard. I am not a victim of that anyway.
Is that a challenge in the make-believe industry?
Yes, some actors find it hard to come out of a character and be themselves. If you are not careful, you lose yourself in the middle of different characters.
But there are films you expose a bit of flesh.
Yes, that was then. Now, I reject some scripts not because they would not pay me, (in fact, they are willing to pay double) but because of obscenity. Recently, I was invited to shoot a film in Ghana and I rejected the script because it exposes a lot of my body as a character in the movie. The producer was willing to pay me in millions but I refused.
How have you been able to maintain your trim stature?
I'm just lucky because I don't diet or go to the gym; but I am very careful about what I eat.
Do you have a beauty routine?
My hair is natural, my skin is natural and I do not apply make-up. Therefore, I do not have a beauty routine. I use normal lotion.
Do you have dreams?
I don't waste time dreaming. Dreaming is for people that are sleeping as far as I am concerned. As long as you are doing something, you don't dream. You can probably have a projection when you are working on something. I live with my projection and when I am done, I rest and move to another.
How fashionable are you?
I might wear designer clothes but I just get to the boutique and pick what I like. As long as it is fine and fits me, I wear it. I don't follow the trend. Fashion does not me feel high. If you are too intellectually balanced, it is hard to pull off fashion trends because it is a thing of the mind and your mind is on intellectual things. So, there is no time for fashion.
I remain Shan George and I don't understand what you mean by being sexy.

Niesel and Herzog: Test may diagnose Down syndrom easier
When it comes to chromosomes, extra copies are not a good thing. Every cell in the human body carries the same genetic information in two copies of 23 chromosomes. Having an extra copy of a chromosome is called trisomy, and an extra copy of chromosome 21 is what causes Down syndrome.

Switzerland embeds CAM in constitution
Over the last few years complementary medicine has been politically marginalized in Switzerland. Therefore, the complementary medicine sector, including doctors, therapists, manufacturers and specialized traders, together launched and brought about a national popular initiative. This enabled Swiss voters to obtain a referendum for a constitutional amendment if they collected 100,000 valid signatures within 18 months.
Parliament availed itself of its right to oppose the proposers' constitutional article and suggest a slightly diluted form. Since parliament's counterproposal adopted all the core demands on a legal level, the original popular initiative was withdrawn. Therefore, the people only had to vote on a constitutional article, which, experience has shown, increases the chances of them voting in favour. Particularly because parliament and the government support the parliamentary proposal.
On 17 May 2009, Swiss voters clearly approved the constitutional article proposed by parliament. The majority of voters per canton also voted in favour, which is likewise a prerequisite for any constitutional amendment.
In accordance with the referendum, the Swiss Federal constitution will be expanded by an article stipulating that "The Federal government and cantons shall ensure that, within the scope of their jurisdiction, complementary medicine is taken into consideration".
On this constitutional basis, parliament and the authorities have to implement the following requirements:
1. Admission of doctors of complementary medicine in the fields of anthroposophic medicine, homeopathy, neural therapy, herbal medicine (phytotherapy) and Traditional Chinese Medicine into the obligatory public health insurance system.
2. Creation of national diplomas for CAM therapists without a full medical education.
3. Integration of complementary medicine into teaching and research.
4. Safeguarding of proven remedies.

Review of Fergie's New Perfume Outspoken

It opens smelling like grape popsicles and then quickly dries down to a soft floral scent with a substantial wood base that stays and stays. It's high quality for its price point, but it's also not the leather and vetiver rock-chick smell it's billed as. It's the kind of scent you wear out dancing—sexy, not too expensive, and still on no matter how sweaty the dance floor gets or how late you stay out.

Remember the carefree days of summer? The memories aren't so positive for many corporations hit by cyber attacks during the summer of 2001. Three especially menacing threats-CodeRed, CodeRed II, and Nimda-cost U.S. corporations more than 12.3 billion dollars. After the fall-out, one company reported it had over 60 software engineers working for a week to recover from Nimda, and it still had work to do.
For many organizations, these recent network security breeches, as well as cyber terrorism discussions in the wake of the September terrorist attacks, have served as a wake-up call regarding the need for information security. Without effective security, companies risk losing money and customer trust. With good security, companies have the power to maintain stakeholder value, customer loyalty, and competitive advantage.
The Internet and the big "E's": e-business, e-commerce, and e-retailing, contribute to today's necessity for a protected company network. Big-even small-holes can lead to formidable problems. Consequently, a bullet-proof security program is critical to an enterprise's survival. Whether this effective security management comes from an in-house or outsourced program is a decision that must be made within a corporation using only its best data.
the first of a three-part series on managed security services, the following
describes why many organizations are choosing to outsource management and monitoring
of security systems.
is Part 1 of a 3-part article.
Part 1 notes the benefits of outsourcing security.
Part 2 will evaluate the cost of such an outsourcing.
Part 3 will provide guidelines for selecting a security services provider
Open for Business
E-commerce and e-business initiatives inspire companies to move toward an open, distributed network-computing environment. These environments are designed to enable employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and distributors to exchange and access information critical to conducting business. Unfortunately, these same networked environments create vulnerabilities that allow disgruntled workers, hackers, and other types of attackers-both internal and external-to wreak havoc on corporate systems through malicious acts of fraud and vandalism.
With customers and business partners dependent on accessing critical product and service data via open networks such as the Internet, companies must ensure the integrity of this information or risk jeopardizing their reputation and brand equity. The need to protect the bottom line, as well as corporate image and customer trust, drives the demand to effectively manage information security.
Other situations challenge today's networked businesses:
Surrounded by Obstacles
While security has never been so critical to the profitability of an enterprise, businesses face a number of barriers to achieving and maintaining in-house security programs.
Numerous organizations currently managing security in-house are looking for alternatives to overcome these obstacles. They want a way to maintain a strong security posture while focusing on core, revenue-generating e-business functions.
Outside the Box
For a growing number of organizations-large to small-outsourcing security tasks offers improved information protection by a seasoned team of experts in a cost-effective manner. According to a June 2000 survey by Hurwitz Group, as many as a quarter of companies with more than $10 billion in annual sales are using or considering handing over some of their security, such as firewalls, anti-virus software, virtual private networks, or intrusion detection, to a managed security service provider.
Analyst firm Gartner Dataquest states managed security services, defined as outsourced management and monitoring of security systems, is the fastest growing segment of the information security services market. "Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) use high-availability security operation centers (either from their own facilities or from data center providers) to support 24X7 services designed to reduce the number of operational security personnel an enterprise must hire, train, and retain to maintain an acceptable security posture."
For organizations facing the challenges of orchestrating in-house security, outsourced security represents a more effective alternative. Among other benefits, managed security offers the following:
