Resolve to Eat More Colorfully: Mango-Cherry Chia Pudding Parfaits
By Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN, author of Eating in Color
I'm on a mission to get people to eat more colorfully. Why? Brightly hued fruits and vegetables are loaded with compounds that reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, some cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, and obesity. You'd think that should be enough to convince anyone to throw some color on their plate! Unfortunately, the reality is that most of us are falling seriously short of getting enough fruits and vegetables.
That's why I create fun and delicious ways for people to eat their colors, like the recipes in my cookbook Eating in Color. In my newest cookbook, I showcase just how vibrant and delicious real food can be. The book includes 90 family-friendly recipes that are fruit, vegetable, and grain focused that you'll actually want to eat. With recipes like Caramelized Red Onion and Fig Pizza, Cran-Apple Tarte Tatin, and Roasted Tri-Color Carrots with Thyme, tasting the rainbow has never tasted so good, nor been so easy.

If you're frugal, sounds like being a contractor or firefighter is the way to go if you want to have time to be outdoors.
There are a lot of self-employed guys on here too. Plumbers seem to do really well, especially if you can get to the place where you have guys working for you. That's what is really great - having your own business and having guys you trust carry things on when you are away hunting.
First, you have to learn a trade. I went out on my own after six years working for other investment firms. I don't have anyone working for me but my business is pretty portable and doesn't suffer if I take a week off here and there.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA9) -- Saturday marks a solemn anniversary: 75 years since the Nazi and civilian rampage called Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass, which signaled the start of the Holocaust.
It's named for the shards of thousands of windows broken in Jewish shops, homes and synagogues on November 9, and November 10, 1938. Nazi storm troopers and civilians burned hundreds of temples, plundered thousands of homes and killed nearly 100 Jews.
Survivors Susan Warsinger, Jill Pauly and Susan Taube re-lived the terror and lit candles at the US Holocaust Museum in memory of the victims.
Warsinger remembers she and her then 8 year old brother were excited because the next day was their mother's birthday. "We finally had fallen asleep, and then all of a sudden, some bricks and rocks were being thrown through the window."
She buried her head under the blankets. "My brother rushed to the window, and he said it was our neighbors who were throwing the bricks and rocks through the window." A police officer they knew stood by and did nothing, even when the neighbors pulled up a telephone and rammed it through their front door.
So many Holocaust survivors are driven to keep talking about genocide in the hope that their voices and their memories will help prevent it from happening again.
"All I can say is again, over and over, that if you see here in the US, if you see bullying, or if you see prejudice, don't join the group. That's the worst thing," says Warsinger. "But also don't be an onlooker."
Never again, and never forget. That's the central message survivors are sounding three-quarters of a century after the world stood by and allowed this genocide to begin.
The Nazi's rounded up 30,000 Jews during Kristallnacht and sent them off to concentration camps like Dachau and Buchenwald.

Project Old School, Part VWritten by on December 1, 2003 Sand. Shoot. Repear. Layin' on the Black Suede (Finally)
At this point, I can't believe how far this truck has come in such a short period of time. We took a rough looking '64 Chevy longbed with a small back window and created the truck I've always wanted. I was now looking at a big-window shortbed with a GMC front clip. Just about everything we could weld up or shave was now smoothed over, and the truck even had its first coat of PPG primer.
There is still a long way to go, however. Although we finished the rough bodywork, we found that some of it was just that. Rough. We handled most of the problem areas and shot the first few coats of PPG filler primer. Progress screeched to a halt between Chris' and my work schedule and the start of the show season. We did not get another full day in on the truck until we resumed work a few weeks before the truck's planned debut at Paso Robles. We then made a few last minute adjustments. I decided it would be fun to shave the cowl, since that was about the only part left that we hadn't modified. We also opted to weld up the seams in the front fender. The inner doors still had mismatched speaker holes we had to contend with; Totally Polished's Chris Daley came up with a quick fix that would give the lower doors a custom look.
Finally, we sanded and shot primer until the big day came. Chris' neighbor offered up his paint booth and even gave us a hand cleaning and masking the truck. We shot the first coat PPG two-stage base black (DBC9700) and a single-stage base white (Concept DNC900) in the interior and found a few spots that we overlooked. A little spot putty, primer, and sanding later, we laid the final coat of gloss white on the interior and recoated the exterior with the black base. Since a durable black suede was our goal, we used a clear topcoat from PPG that leaves a matte finish. The DCU2060 was originally intended for refinishing Mercedes bumpers, but it fit the bill for our needs perfectly. I was so stoked to see the truck start to resemble Jimmy Smith's rendering that I had my Stockton wheels and Coker tires mounted up while the paint was drying. We bolted them on and torched the springs just to give you guys a glimpse of the finished exterior, which you will be seeing a lot more of next month.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
When we last left off, we handled the rough bodywork and shot a coat of PPG DP-90LF. Instead of just scuffing the surface so our high-build primer would stick, we blocked the entire exterior with 100-grit attached to our flexible board sanders and adjustable flex sander from Eastwood.This made it easy to see the areas that weren't going to block out and would require more metalwork and/or filler. Again, the goal was to scuff the primer and find the high and low spots, not sand it off.Most of the truck soon looked like this; not bad at a glance. But if you look closely, you can see a low area just above the wheel opening. The '60-66 bedsides are notorious for this.The front corner of the hood was also a little banged up. Chris worked the area with the hammer and dolly.A thin coat of Evercoat Z-grip filler from Eastwood was all that was needed to smooth the area perfectly.Out in the sun, the bedside area around the wheel opening left a lot to be desired. This area actually had to be pulled out slightly to help remedy the situation.
They were minor, but we filled and blocked the area anyway. We hit a few more areas that required attention; then we taped off from the beltline up with plastic.The high-build primer we used was NCP280 from PPG. We first hit the areas where we used filler. The DeVilBiss HVLP Finish Line spray gun we were using is also from Eastwood.At this point, the truck already looked 100 percent better. Unfortunately, this was the last time we got to work on the truck for a while.After spending its days in the sun for a few months, we finally set out to get some paint on the truck. It was obvious we didn't prep the new Brothers fenders very well.I decided that since everything else on the truck is shaved, we should go ahead and smooth over the cowl, as well.
The raised areas for the wiper shaft were cut out of the cowl with a plasma cutter, and the surface was ground clean.I kept the area cool with the air nozzle while Chris welded the panel solid. The welds were then ground completely smooth.Once the welds were ground smooth, you would hardly know what we did. Those speaker holes were plaguing me from day one, and they were gone in an hour.
We gave the rest of the truck a once-over with 80 grit and our handy sanding block (a full day's work with the camera put away) and shot another heavy coat of NCP (this time tinted black). Things started to go much smoother on this lap around the truck.Our fender mod shaped up pretty easily, as well. It's funny that the worst areas on the truck were stock areas that just needed to be flat.After one layer of primer and a single blocking, the tailgate only needed a few dabs of glazing compound.We hadn't looked under the hood since we shot the DP-90. After an hour or so with some 180, we were ready for paint.The back of the cab was the last area we hit before we shot the black base coat. This is when I started to get ahead of myself. We shot the single-stage white throughout the inside of the cab, and it was so damn glossy it immediately pointed out every single imperfection. Several small areas were hit with filler, sanded out and covered with white primer from a rattle can before respraying the white interior panels.Unfortunately, the exterior went the same way. I am by no means a perfectionist, but after shooting the first coat of the black base, we decided there were a few spots we could not overlook. Yet another day of cleaning up one small area at a time followed.
I already had Andrew over at Rooney Tire mount and balance the Coker wide whites to the red steelies from Stockton. More on this new/old-school combo combo next month.After nearly a year of looking at a ragged stock-height truck, we had to see the "Old School" we had been envisioning. Chris torched the springs (we would never drive it this way), and I took this teaser shot to tide us over 'til next month. Finally, our project will get its chrome and flames and a few other surprises. And it won't end there. Old School is just getting started.

Adam Sandler Is The Most Overpaid Actor Of 2013
by Daily Dish
posted Dec 10 2013 7:23AM
Big names at the box office usually make a film big money, but that's not
the case. Well, Forbes has officially named the Most Overpaid Actors of 2013. Calculations were based on the last three movies each actor starred in over the past three years. So who took the top three spots? Reese Witherspoon took the number three spot, bringing in an average $3.90 for each dollar paid. Katherine Heigl took the number two spot, returning an average $3.50 for every dollar she was paid, and the number one most overpaid actor is… ADAM SANDLER! His last movie,
Jack & Jill
grossed $150 million, but cost an estimated $80 million to make.
That's My Boy
, on the other hand, had an estimated budget of $70 million and only brought in $57 million at the box office. For every dollar Adam Sandler was paid in his past three films, each movie returned an average of $3.40. OUCH!
This is too funny! Where was the band Imagine Dragons when they found out that they were nominated for a Grammy? How about fast asleep! Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds went to sleep on Friday night as the frontman of the year's biggest breakout band and woke up on Saturday morning as the
frontman of the year's biggest breakout band. He said, "I was on the tour bus, driving somewhere in the middle of Spain, between Barcelona and Madrid. My family started texting me at like 5 a.m. with, like all caps and exclamations marks, saying we got nominated for a Grammy. Then, like 10 minutes later, it was 'Wait, you got nominated for
Grammy!' It was a very nice surprise to see in the wee hours in the morning." Their hit song "Radioactive: is up for Record of the Year and Best Rock. Too funny! Good luck to them!
After entering a not guilty plea in October, Khloe Kardashian's husband Lamar Odom has changed his tune and his attorneys instead pled no contest to his DUI. The end result? Lamar Odom will serve three years probation and will have to take an alcohol education class. Lamar Odom didn't appear in court and the plea was entered on his behalf by his lawyer.
Also, in an attempt to try and salvage his NBA career, Lamar Odom has agreed to undergo random drug testing in exchange for a spot on the Los Angeles Clippers. If he returns one dirty test, Lamar Odom will be suspended from the team immediately. That's enough to hopefully get him clean, right?
Honestly, I can't blame Jennifer Lawrence. She's madly in love with her boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, and the idea of him wandering into the arms of another woman just isn't going to fly! Jennifer Lawrence has supposedly become worried about her relationship because her boyfriend will be working with another young starlet, Kristen Stewart! Jennifer Lawrence apparently isn't too thrilled about it and doesn't trust Kristen Stewart, who cheated on Robert Pattinson with a married man! Sometimes, you have to worry about everyone else! But who would cheat on Jennifer Lawrence?!
Victoria Beckham is ready to put the past behind her when it comes to the Spice Girls. The pop star turned successful fashion designer says she has no "passion" for her former "girl power" persona. She said, "I realized it was finished for good in 2008, when we performed for our reunion tour. It should have been the best moment of my life, but I just wanted to be elsewhere." Victoria Beckham and her bandmates took a very long hiatus in 2000 but reunited for a 2007-2008 world tour. They also got together for the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony in London. Victoria Beckham finished by saying, "It wasn't a lack of respect for the girls or the audience, but the passion just wasn't there. By contrast, in my new career, the passion grows every year. I still want more." Sometimes you have to move on to get new and more success!
First Tom Cruise compared his job as an actor to being at war and now Kanye West is doing the same! Kanye West is saying that his profession puts his life on the line as well, stating that rapping is very dangerous work and that "this is like being a police officer or something ... or like war. You're literally going out to do your job every day knowing that something could happen to you." Kanye West says it's not JUST the physical risks like slipping on stage, but that he also risks getting his feelings hurt because people could watch a show and decide they don't like him. Awe, that's JUST like being a police officer or solider!
Never break Katy Perry's heart because she'll only end up making a killer album and selling millions. But that's not before going through the heartbreak first. It's been about almost two years since Russell Brand filed for divorce from Katy Perry, but she can still remember the heartache. Not only was Katy Perry devastated, but she says there were two weeks of her life after she found out the truth of her marriage where she was like, "OK. All right. I can't feel this. This is too intense right now." Katy Perry just ate Flamin' Hot Cheetos and drank, and that was IT! Her pain was so intense, that Katy Perry even admitted to thinking about taking her own life! She was publicly embarrassed! But she got by with help from hiking, vitamins, therapy, prayer and good friends. Oh, and let's not forget her now boyfriend of over a year, John Mayer! That's definitely one yummy way to move on!

GLENWOOD SPRINGS - In his first several weeks as interim president of Colorado Mountain College, Dr. Charles "Chick" Dassance has hit the ground at a gallop.
He is learning quickly about the college, its students and employees, and the communities it serves. He's been meeting with as many people as he can, reading reports and budgets and documents of every stripe.
"The role of an interim president, in general, is to prepare the college for its next CEO," Dassance said. "My role is not to restructure the college but to bring stability to college operations. This does not imply that we should not address issues that need to be addressed, nor that we should stop innovating and improving.
"I have been impressed with the many fine programs and services at CMC," said Dassance. "I know this transition period can be unsettling, but I am also confident that the most important work we do - helping students learn - continues to be the main focus of our faculty and staff."
Dassance will oversee the 11-location community college in north-central Colorado while CMC's elected board of trustees seeks and appoints a permanent president.
The position became available in December upon the resignation of Dr. Stan Jensen. The college's trustees will conduct a nationwide search for a long-term candidate. Details of how the search will be conducted will be determined over the next several months.
"The board of trustees clearly wants CMC to be a college that will be a source of pride for the citizens of our service area, and I look forward to working with the board on finding the right leader for the college's future," Dassance said.
As a former president of two community colleges, Dassance was hired in 1996 as president of what was then known as Central Florida Community College in Ocala, Fla. Over the next 15 years, he led the college's transformation into prominence and record enrollment.
Among the initiatives he oversaw there was the introduction of bachelor's degrees, something Colorado Mountain College introduced last year. After Dassance retired in 2011 from the renamed College of Central Florida, he was honored with the title of president emeritus.
Dassance was known in Ocala for saving the Appleton Museum of Art, which was brought under the auspices of the college, as well as for his community involvement and commitment to providing workforce opportunities.
"He put the community in community college," said Frank Rasbury, a former College of Central Florida trustee, in an article about Dassance on Ocala.com.
Before CMC's board of trustees voted unanimously to appoint Dassance, trustee Pat Chlouber of Lake County said, "Dr. Dassance seems to understand and can fulfill the mission we have in mind for the next few months, and we're confident he'll work well with our communities and add strength to our staff."

What is FYE 101?
This course, FYE101-First Year Foundations, will provide critical information on personal, academic, and professional development for first-year students. Class discussions will support students engagement in the Kettering community, help make important connections for students to develop a sense of self-governance, and set a foundation for both a critical thinking and reflective learning mindset. Students will learn to interact in the academic and cooperative work environment successfully. Mentoring and interaction with the instructors will provide support and guidance for students to be fully integrated into Kettering University. Discussions and assignments will enhance student transition and acclimation to Kettering University.
The FYE office is housed within the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) to promote best practices in teaching while bringing together faculty, staff and students from multiple disciplines. A working group, consisting of faculty, staff and students, meets regularly in the CETL Office for formative assessment of the course.
The primary goal of FYE is to help build a strong foundation for student success during the time of transition from high school to college. Kettering students experience not only a personal and academic transition but also a professional transition as they embark upon their first co-op experience. FYE strives to foster a sense of belonging for students in the Kettering campus community and provide information for students.
What to expect in FYE 101
The FYE classroom provides a dynamic opportunity for students to reflect and develop the skills necessary to thrive in academic and professional environments. Students will lead and participate in weekly class discussions that provide them with information on the different opportunities available to them at Kettering University. The faculty/staff instructor and peer mentors will guide and facilitate the discussions with meaningful insight on each of the topics discussed in FYE.

Thousands of Syrian refugees arrive in Iraq, many with special needs
|UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
|Publication Date
|22 October 2012
|Cite as
|UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Thousands of Syrian refugees arrive in Iraq, many with special needs, 22 October 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/5087ce772.html [accessed 31 May 2016]
The UN refugee agency said Tuesday that Lebanon has become the third country in the region to see its population of registered Syrian refugees and people waiting for registration exceeding the 100,000 mark.
She's only four years old, but Syrian refugee Magi can't shake off the sounds and images of war that forced her family to flee the embattled northern city of Aleppo and seek shelter in northern Iraq.
"I can't sleep at night; I still have images of soldiers shooting from the roofs of the buildings," whispered the traumatized young girl in her family's tent at the Domiz refugee camp in Dohuk governorate. "There was rocket fire everywhere and we were really scared," added her mother, Rojin.
"There were power cuts all the time in our building and prices went up significantly," she continued. "It was impossible to buy bread and oil, shops were always closed and Magi was crying because she was hungry, so we decided to flee the country."
Magi and her mother are among some 34,400 Syrian refugees who have arrived in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq since the Syrian conflict erupted in March last year. And they continue to come, with an average of 500 people reaching Domiz every day.
Many of the children arrive suffering from trauma similar to Magi's and struggling to get the horrifying images out of their young minds. UNHCR met several children in need of professional support as well as participation in social activities to help them cope in their new, unfamiliar environment.
Such vulnerable cases are of particular concern to UNHCR and the Government of Kurdistan Region (KRG), which work together to provide support and counselling for children suffering from post-traumatic symptoms such as nightmares, anxiety attacks and painful memories.
In Domiz, UNHCR identifies cases of traumatized children and refers them to the camp's mental health unit, which is run by the KRG's department of health. Here, experts provide psychological counselling and support to the children and their families as well as follow up on their mental health situation.
Growing numbers of Syrians arriving with no economic resources and opting to stay in the camp and seek assistance are putting increased pressure on services in all sectors, including food, shelter, water and health care.
The new arrivals, including Magi's family, are living in transit areas while the infrastructure of the camp is being expanded to cope with the growing influx. It currently provides shelter to some 14,500 refugees. "It is difficult to live in a tent," said Rojin, adding: "We will never return."
The anxious mother said she hoped life in the camp would help her child "soon forget the trauma of war." Her husband is seeking work in Dohuk.
The Kurdistan Region of Iraq continues to welcome Syrian Kurdish refugees and facilitate their integration and freedom of movement by issuing residency permits and providing access to public services.
As of early October, some 34,400 Syrian refugees have been registered in Iraq's Kurdistan Region. Duhok governorate hosts the largest number with more than 27,000 people, followed by Erbil (5,852) and Suleimaniya (1,683).

Are we down to about one week or so?
Well, I'm not a scotch guy, but I'll pour you a wee dram from my bottle of Bushmills. Yeah I hope to see one real soon. I got money down on one, and cash in hand for the day it arrives. My wife wants it to get here more than I do, I think I'm driving her crazy with it. ANY info would be greatly appreciated!
r80rt: I hear 15 year Balvenie is an excellent tongue loosener if you're digging for info.http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=620026
Yes!And if you like Speyside, the Aberlour 10 yr old is a great buy!It may be only 10 years old, but it actually rivals the older ones very well, and it is affordable enough(under $40) to be a regular drinking Scotch.Many of my "single-malt snob" friends drink the Aberlour as their everyday Scotch, because it is so good for the money. And these are guys that often crack some $250 bottles of Scotch. So, if it's good enough for them to not turn their noses up at, then it's some pretty good stuff.And it's a Speyside single malt. I like it pretty well too.

Discover Belgium: Special themes - Brussels - Antwerp - Bruges - Ghent - Mons - Namur - Liège - Leuven - Mechelen - Ostend
Brussels is an essential destination for any tourist. The city is a leading cultural, historic, culinary and tourist centre.
In the centre of Brussels, you must certainly visit the Grand-Place with its large number of historic mansions, the magnificent 15th-century Town Hall and the well-known Maison du Roi Museum. There is also the Galeries St Hubert, which is the oldest covered shopping arcade in Europe. The fifteenth-century Saint Gudula and Saint Michael Cathedral is also worth a visit. You can relax in the Parc de Bruxelles facing the Royal Palace.
You can also go for a walk along the Place du Grand Sablon, with its large number of antique shops. The daily flea market on Place du Jeu de Balle is certainly an attraction. Other sights include Sablon Church with its Gothic interior and the Palace of Justice on the Galgenberg. The European quarter, which is the centre of government for the European Union, surrounds Place Schuman. Just outside the city centre, you will find the Atomium, a steel molecule enlarged 165 billion times.
Châtelain: a quarter full of independent boutiques and laidback restaurants: the square itself hosts a popular Wednesday evening food market.
Dansaert: there are always things happening – and a new boutique to explore – in the Dansaert quarter, the fashion heart of the city.
Louise: upmarket Avenue Louise is where all of Brussels heads at the weekend: the area has a real buzz and the city's best shopping.
St. Gilles: multicultural St. Gilles is full of hidden treasures: wonderful architecture; great restaurants and quirky boutiques.
Flagey: laid-back bars, an excellent weekend food and flower market and the beautiful Ixelles Ponds to stroll around.
Sainte Catherine: from the ultra-tradition fish restaurants on the square to the hip shops and bars of Rue de Flandre, Sainte Catherine is packed with distractions.
Uccle: Leafy Uccle has sweeping Art Deco avenues, pretty squares full of shops and cafés as well as acres of surprisingly wild forest to discover.
Creativity has always been an inherent part of Antwerp - in the 16th and 17th century, Antwerp was home to great masters such as Rubens and Anthony Van Dyck; in the 20th and 21st century, the city has been an inspiration to famous fashion designers such as Dries Van Noten and Walter van Beirendonck. There is much to do of a cultural nature, but the city is also well worth a visit for its excellent restaurants, bars and clubs. And of course for shopping: retail stores are also open on each first Sunday of the month. Much like Antwerp diamonds, the city sparkles with an impressive range of architecture from medieval buildings to Art Nouveau townhouses and the beautiful contemporary MAS or "Museum Aan de Stroom" ("Museum at the river").
EVENTS Taste of Antwerp (05.05.2016 - 08.05.2016): Taste of Antwerp is the most important culinary festival in Belgium. During the Ascension bank holiday weekend, the city is all about food. Taste the signature dishes of renowned chefs, enjoy delicious finger food at one of the food trucks and take part in interactive cooking workshops. - Luc Tuymans: Glasses (13.05.2016 - 18.09.2016): Museum aan de Stroom celebrates its 5th birthday with three new exhibitions. The most important one is a display of works by Antwerp's greatest living artist: Luc Tuymans. Tuymans has a fascination for people with glasses and in the spring of 2016 he will show 25 of his most famous portraits of world leaders. – Sinksenfoor (14.05.2016 - 26.06.2016): With its 150 attractions, Sinksenfoor is the biggest fair of Belgium. - The Golden Cabinet. Royal Museum at the Rockox House (until 01.01.2017): Masterpieces from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (closed for renovation) and the most important works from the Rockox House itself.
EAT Michelin-starred Dôme (Grotehondstraat 2), is one of Antwerp's best-loved restaurants. Just across the street is the seafood eatery Dôme sur Mer (Arendstraat 1) and bakery Domestic (Steenbokstraat 37).
SHOP Hospital (De Burburestraat 4-5) is more than just another fashion store; it's an experience in itself. Shop the latest fashion in store or head to the wine cellar for the city's best wine selection. Plans are being made to add a small resto-coffee bar and a luxury B&B to the store.
LATER Well-heeled creatives make a beeline for the café-bar Vitrin (Marnixplaats 14), located on a key square in the trendy Zuid (South) district.
The heart of Bruges, surrounded by an almost continuous ring of canals, is the best preserved example of medieval Flanders. So picture postcard perfect is the city center, known as "the Venice of the North", that it is nigh on impossible to take a bad photograph. With the city center closed off to cars, all the stunning beauty and culture of this unforgettable city can be easily explored on foot, by boat ride along quiet canals, or by horse-drawn carriage over cobblestone streets. Although Bruges is a small city, it will easily take more than one day to explore all of its architectural and artistic treasures, folklore, chocolate shops, lace boutiques, and local restaurants. The historic center of Bruges is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is teeming with places of interest. Bruges is so magical that it's akin to a film set. This seems appropriate given that the 2008 film In Bruges was filmed on location in the city. This film, starring Ralph Fiennes and Colin Farrell, features two hit men holing up in the city after a difficult job. Farrell allegedly stayed in Bonifacius Exclusive Guesthouse (Groeninge 4) while in town filming.
EVENTS Exhibition Bruegel's Witches (25.02.2016 - 26.06.2016): Everyone imagines a witch as an ugly woman who scoots on her broom up the chimney. In the fireplace, there is a large cauldron where she brews her magic potions while the cat warms itself by the fire. Less well known is that this witch image was created by artists from the Low Countries. Especially Pieter Bruegel played a decisive role in this. He was the first to place the witch near a fireplace, and while witches used to fly on all kinds of objects, Bruegel resolutely opted for the broom, which others were only too happy to copy. - Great War Battlefields tour commemorating WW1 (until 31.12.2018).
EAT Bistro Bruut (Meestraat 9) has had a radical facelift; its dining room now combines vintage industrial-style lampshades and reclaimed-wood tabletops. The honest Franco-Belgian cuisine at Assiette Blanche (Philipstockstraat 23-25, assietteblanche.be) is a hit with the chic local crowd.
SHOP Family-run chocolatier Dumon (Eiermarkt 6) occupies a dollhouse-like shop near Markt Square, while newcomer BbyB (Sint Amandstraat 39) features chocolates from top chef Bart Desmidt in minimal Pantone-style packaging.
LATER Venerated 't Brugs Beertje (Kemelstraat 5) offers 300 different beers, including Brugse Zot ('the fool'), the city's only official home brew. A former employee runs Comptoir des Arts (Vlamingstraat 53), a hip and atmospheric cellar jazz bar with a roaring fire.
"Here's a secret within a secret: Ghent might just be the best European city you've never thought of visiting, in a country that continues to be criminally overlooked." - Lonely Planet 10 places to visit in 2011. If you're the type who prefers exploring away from the tourist hordes, funky Ghent is definitely the place to go. Ghent is praised for its brilliant mix of a wonderful past and a vibrant present. Here hides one of Europe's finest panoramas of water, spires and centuries-old grand houses. But this is no place to simply kick back. It's also Flanders' biggest university town, which means linger-as-long-as-you-like cafés, well-priced restaurants and a laid-back atmosphere. Under the watchful eye of Gravensteen Castle or Castle of the Counts, the city boasts an Opera House, 18 museums, 100 churches and over 400 historical buildings. The most visited site in Ghent is the famous polyptych, The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, painted by the brothers Jan and Hubert van Eyck in 1432. It still hangs in its original location, the St. Bavo Cathedral. The locals, while intensely proud of their city, are very modest and would never brag about its merits. One reason, perhaps, why it has taken so long for the rest of the world to discover this little gem.
EVENTS 2016 Ghent Floralies (22.04.2016 - 01.05.2016): The vibrant festival Floralies Ghent celebrates its 35th edition with a new concept. Four locations in the Arts Quarter of Ghent will be transformed into a magical paradise of flowers and plants. Visitors can admire the enchanting floral creations of national and international artists. They can also take part in interactive workshops and guided tours. - Rinus Van de Velde: Donogoo Tonka (05.03.2016 - 05.06.2016): Rinus Van de Velde draws himself as the protagonist in the biography of an imaginary artist.

Cultural capital of Wallonia since 2002 and European Capital of Culture 2015, Mons is a dynamic city with a rich heritage. Located close to the French border and at the centre of the largest mining and industrial region of Belgium, Mons has been a pilgrimage destination since the 7th century, when a Frankish woman, later St. Waltrude, decided to stop here and dedicate her life to God. St. Waltrude's Collegiate Church, one of Mons principal attractions, was never fully completed after 200 years of works! This can be seen on the church's exterior as the tower is not completed, the interior however, was completed in the 17th century. The church is considered one of the best examples of Brabant Gothic. Other remarkable landmarks of Mons are the Grande-Place, surrounded by the impressive Town Hall, and the Belfry (listed as a World Heritage site by the UNESCO), a bell tower hosting a carillon of 47 bells. If you have a more contemporary feel, don't miss the Marsh House, where painter Van Gogh lived around 1880.

LATER Cuba'R (Rue de Nimy 57) is a cellar bar that has brought Cuban music, Cuban drinks and some great cigars to Mons.
Namur is the capital of Wallonia, the southern region of Belgium. Enjoy a stroll through the medieval city centre or the Citadel, one of Europe's most impressive strongholds. If you want to give your feet a rest, you can join one of the many boat trips on the rivers Sambre and Meuse, as the city is neatly tucked in between where both rivers meet, an ideal and romantic way to explore the region. Do you prefer a more challenging way of exploration? Namur is also the gateway to various nature hikes in the Belgian Ardennes, an extensive forest region famed for its gorgeous landscapes and hillsides.
EVENTS Namur in May: Festival of Travelling Arts (06.05.2016 - 08.05.2016): During the Ascension weekend, Namur is all about arts.

LATER Exterieur Nuit(Place du Chanoine Descamps 6) is only open until 11pm but it's a good place for Belgian beer and French wine.
Just an hour from Brussels by train, Belgium's third most populous city is perfect for a weekend getaway. As your train pulls into Liège, the first thing you'll notice is the hypermodern train station designed by the famous Spanish architect Calatrava. The modern architecture of the train station contrasts with the rest of the city, which is a more eclectic mix of styles that reflect Liège's long history dating back to the Middle Ages. As a Prince-Bishopric, Liège was a city of great importance in medieval times. Later, in the first half of the 20th century, the city gained further importance as one of Europe's main centres of the iron and steel industries. Remnants of the city's history can be found in the old Citadel, and at the Archeoforum which lies below Liège's main square, Place Saint-Lambert. Liège's most famous tourist attraction is the long stairway Montagne de Bueren - after taking on the more than 400 steps, you'll be rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view of the city. Definitely a challenge that's worth the effort!
The city is located on the banks of the river Meuse, which divides the city into two parts. The Outremeuse (which translates to 'the part beyond the Meuse river') is famed for its more creative vibe and folklore. The most important character in Liège's folklore is Tchantchès, a marionette doll representing the stubborn and rebellious yet good-natured character of Liège. Enjoy the puppet theatre at the Musée de Tchantchès and learn more about Outremeuse's history with the help of Tchantches and his wife Nanesse.
EVENTS Mithra International Jazz Festival (10.05.2016 - 14.05.2016): The Mithra International Jazz Festival is an annual festival in Liège. In 8 different halls, both famous artists and young new talent will play different kinds of jazz music. - International contemporary engraving biennial & festival (27.03.2016 - 24.05.2016): Dozens of engravers from all over the world gather in Liege to exhibit the unique world of engraving and etching.
EAT Every bite is an adventure at Mandibule en Roue Libre (rue Souverain-Pont 38), a cosy bistro where chef-owner Fabien Henrard encourages customers to pick up their own orders from the kitchen and play their own vinyl records during meals.
SHOP For a genuine Liégeois shopping experience, forget the high street stores and join the foragers at the city's many antique markets. Every Sunday morning on the left bank of the Meuse river, La Batte (Belgium's oldest outdoor market) is a beehive of activity. Alternatively, try the Saint-Pholien market every Friday morning on the Boulevard de la Constitution.
LATER Party until the wee hours in the pubs and nightspots of the Le Carré neighbourhood.
Whether you're looking to quench your thirst for knowledge or just your thirst, Leuven is the ideal place. This youthful town, less than half an hour by train from Brussels, is home to one of Europe's oldest universities (KU Leuven), and history is present on every street corner. A few lucky students even have the distinct privilege of living in the 13th century stone beguinage (begijnhof) selected as a world heritage site by UNESCO. And where there are students... there is beer! Leuven is Belgium's reigning brewing capital – no small feat in a country that produces hundreds of delicious varieties. Leuven is the headquarters of AB Inbev, the largest brewery in the world, famous for Stella Artois beers. Centuries of Flemish tradition and craftsmanship lie behind Leuven's premium brews. The university, one of the oldest and most important in Europe, has its roots in the center of Leuven, and its historic college buildings dominate many of the squares and streets. The university and its 28,000 students and professors have a special tie with Leuven, which has existed since the university's founding in 1425. Leuven is a great place for the curious traveler with time to explore. It is an intimate city; any spot can be easily reached on foot or by bicycle.
EVENTS Leuven Beer Weekend (22.04.2016 - 24.04.2016): During the last weekend of April, Leuven is truly the beer capital of Belgium where visitors can taste about 500 different beers by 100 different brewers during the Zythos Beer Festival. And there are also beer walks, workshops, beer routes, and tastings at Leuven's own city brewery Domus. The world's biggest brewer, AB InBev, also opens its doors to curious visitors. - InBev: biggest brewery of Belgium, located in the city centre of Leuven.

LATER Sample Con Domus and Nostra Domus beers at home brewery Domus (Tiensestraat 8).
Mechelen is a small and picturesque city that is big on charm and history but is probably best known for its carillon school. Here students from all over the world come to learn to play church bells. One of the most pleasant experiences to have in Mechelen is to sit outside on the terrace of a cafe sipping a local beer while listening to the delightful bell music coming from the sky. It is a city thriving with quaint shops, car-free areas and amazingly pleasant little squares. The grace of centuries-old palaces and majestic churches appeals to everyone. Mechelen is a city for all ages. Young people can actively enjoy themselves in the Toy Museum or the Tivoli Children's Farm, whereas the young at heart can entertain themselves at the Anker, one of the oldest operating breweries in Belgium. There are also many parks and gardens to stroll in, and the boat trip to these parks from Mechelen Central Station is not to be missed. Mechelen has no less than 336 listed buildings and monuments including eight gothic and baroque churches from the 14th century through the 17th century.
EVENTS Mechelen hoort stemmen (23.04.2016 - 15.05.2016): Mechelen hoort stemmen is an annual music event.

SHOP Kaashandel Schockaert (IJzerenleen 28) is a shop selling almost 300 cheeses and is particularly famous for its Gouden Carolus Brouwerskaas, which is made with local beer.
LATER Unwined (Steenweg 22) with a glass or two of grape at this unpretentious bodega. The sommelier has removed the snobbery associated with choosing wine by creating a selection chart based on country of origin and occasion.
At the "City by the Sea", over five and a half miles of sandy beaches invites you to delightful sunbathing and a refreshing dip in the North Sea. After frolicking in the sun, take a walk down the Promenade where you will find many shops, bars and restaurants. Ostend is a cosmopolitan city with a harbour, yacht-basin, airport and over 50 hotels. Visitors will be amazed by all there is to see and do. All year round, many activities take place. Some highlights are: Oostende at Anchor, Theatre by the Sea, Magic Lights in the Park, the Christmas Market with huge ice-skating ramp and Carnival week-end with the well-known Bal Rat Mort. One of Ostend's main, and maybe lesser known, trump cards is the gastronomy. What better place to sample the sea's delicacies than on the seaside. There are many restaurants, ranging from exclusive hot spots to cosy bistros, so there is something to suit everyone's taste and budget. The specialities are Dover Sole, shrimp croquettes and "tomato filled with shrimps". There is also plenty to keep you amused later on in the evening such as pubs, clubs and cinema complexes.
EVENTS Week of the Sea 2016 (22.04.2016 - 08.05.2016): Week of the Sea celebrates its 20th birthday. Visitors can discover the beautiful nature of the seaside and enjoy other activities such as organised walking tours, a visit to the windpark, workshops and talks from experts.
EAT Traditionalists eat mussels only from September to April, and the busy De Mosselbeurs (Dwarstraat 10) serves up more than a dozen versions, from basic to Thai-style, spiced with coconut, curry and coriander. Otherwise head down to Ostend Queen (Westhelling 12), where you'll feel like you've stepped aboard a cruise liner that serves excellent seafood.
SHOP Stock up on local delicacies at the outdoor market on the Wapenplein every Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
LATER Choose from 500 types of beer and 50 kinds of genever (a Belgian juniper-flavoured spirit) at the English pub-style Café Bottelje (Louisastraat 19) or throw shapes on the dancefloor at Tao Bar (Langestraat 24-26).

Half-Life 2 - Please Rate This Review
This is an old piece of writing which I wrote for another forum about a year ago. My style has changed allot since then, becoming more rigorously analytical, and benefiting from the thoughts of people like Jonathan blow. I thought that this piece might actually be more appropriate for this purpose however. I hope you enjoy reading it.
Half-Life 2: Review/Ponderings
Playing through Half-Life 2 again, I suddenly realized that I had previously been taking the wrong approach. During past play sessions, I would search for some sort of cohesive world design whereby valve could express their ideas by manipulating an otherwise familiar and understandable backdrop. As is so often the case in music and painting; artists set up expectations using familiar concepts, then skillfully defy and play with them.
My main cause for frustration with Half-Life was that this sense of being in a world with which we have some grasp is never really set up. Sure the art style is pretty realistic, some of it so tangible that one can barely resist exploration. The problem is that I never really know what Im supposed to be doing. In real life, unless youre really high on mushrooms, you always have some sort of purpose for moving about. Maybe someone tells you to travel north; you can follow your compass, or someone tells you to get from a to b on a map thats fine. But what if youre standing in the middle of the country side and someone tells you to travel to someplace youve never heard of? You dont have a clue how far it is, in what direction it lies or what it looks like. But in the world of Half-Life, there is a way to find this unheard of place. The otherwise believable locales are contrived in such a way as to only ever offer one way of advancing. You travel, not because you believe the path to be the correct one, but because it is the only possible place to go. This approach might make sense in a game like Ico, in which you must escape a riddle riddled castle, but Half-Life makes no such attempt of justification.
Towards the beginning of the game for example, youre instructed to get to your friends place of which you know absolutely nothing about, by a group of people who you know nothing about, and you find yourself in a rundown city which you know nothing about. Only its not quite a city, its just a load of connecting alleyways, train tracks and the like which give the illusion of a city while severely restricting your path. You begin following a trail of unlocked doors to find yourself in a train depot. Of course you have no idea where your supposed to be going, so youre left to wonder around, cursing, as you try to find the one possible way forwards whilst being shot at. You find that a couple of the trains in the middle of the depot are open, so you make your way to the other side of the depot because it seems to be the only way to anywhere, where you find an unlocked door. Soon after, you are confronted by an un-jumpable gap, which, luckily is quickly filled by a train. A few conveniently broken fences later and you end up knee deep in a shallow abandoned canal, confronted with a large fence with an old derailed train wagon at its feet. Still completely disorientated, I due fully climb the ladder on the wagons side and enter via the open hatchet on its roof, where I meet two bizarre creatures who seem to know me. After a while they open the wagons door to reveal a hole in the large fence and bid me a safe journey.
At this point I do not have a clue what is going on. Im traveling through an albeit visually pleasant world with no real objective, simply following a completely unbelievably contrived path, all the while coincidentally meeting people who seem to know me (and think that I know whats going on), and shooting (or crow baring) some bad guys. The game is not relating to me. I feel my time is being wasted.
The lack of sense only gets worse; particularly when puzzles are involved. How about the one where your boats path is blocked by a pile of junk, but just before it, in the water, lies a long wide plank of wood? Swimming under water reveals that the tip of the plank closest to the pile of junk has a downward vertical extension, with an upside-down, empty mesh container at the end. Turns out that if you fill the mesh with floating bottles, it will rise to the surface, pushing up the plank and turning it into a ramp, allowing the boat to jump the pile of garbage. Quite a nice puzzle indeed but I wonder who made it, in the games fiction I mean. And what if, against all odds, this standard junk jumping device hadnt been left there? Game over?
Now I found the game very hard to get into because, for me, it failed to set up a familiar and meaningful structure, and so I could not appreciate its expression within whatever structure it does implement. Perhaps, though, this bizarre structure is in fact familiar to seasoned gamers, just as the sonata form is to classically trained musicians. Both seem rather meaningless to the unacquainted, but allow for great (or not so great) expression within these forms once familiar.
Upon playing the original Halo again, I realized that it had a rather similar form to that of Half-Life. The main difference being that it always made it completely obvious where to go instead of forcing the player to search for that single, nonsensical path. I realized that it was what was going on within that bizarre form that was of interest; namely the beautiful sci-fi environments and the exquisite combat game play.
So, bearing in mind that Half-Life is also an fps, I decided to take a similar approach. I have always adored its environmental artwork, but to my surprise, I also found much to like in the combat game play and even more surprisingly, the path finding. Once I stopped frantically running around, fruitlessly waiting for everything to make sense, it became a joy working with the environment in all game play aspects, and I more fully appreciated the bold expressiveness of the worlds architecture. Indeed, the fun of the combat generally lies in being resourceful with the objects around. Less annoyed and more grateful I am now for that bit where you can get close enough to deal with a group of combine soldiers around a mounted machine gun by crouching behind a loaded trolley and pushing towards them while remaining under cover.
However the combat is not as masterfully designed as that of say Gears of War or Halo. Being so reliant on using the environment, I long for more options, such as being able to blind fire around cover while playing Half-Life. It is hard to shoot without getting shot back, and this is made worse by the lack of reaction made by the combine to getting hit. One of the main strategies in the N64 game, Goldeneye, was to buy yourself time when confronted by multiple soldiers by shooting them all once, thus occupying them with their wounds and preventing them from shooting back while you dealt the next round. Firefights in Half-Life, however, often turn into wars of attrition which are sometimes near impossible when you have low health. This brings me to the main problem with health packs over regenerating health. The game designers cannot anticipate exactly how much health a player will have upon entering a combat scenario, and so cannot accordingly gear the difficulty as desired. The resultant challenges are often too easy or too hard. Finally, fighting head crabs and sand lions is, hands down, not fun. Their AI is poor and repetitive and these scenarios quickly degenerate into target practice. Other problems include the weapons (almost all of which feel like pea shooters), Freemans awkward handling of objects, the guns being so much louder then the speech that you have often to alter the volume, and the way they try to make the sound dynamic by making you barely able to hear people speaking when your standing about two meters away from them.
Back on topic though, Half-Life 2 is a rather good fps game. Although I dont think the genre fps is accurate enough; we dont yet have a term for such an fps that expresses itself through the details and freedom allowed in a rather intentionally loosely put together world, rather then that of say GTA which makes complete sense. Perhaps thats why its so popular come to think of it, (GTA that is) because its form is so universally familiar that it allows those less familiar with computer games to enjoy it. Half-Life 2 on the other hand is like a Sonata by Beethoven (except no where near as good), a work of art that requires familiarity with a rather man made form in order to fully enjoy.

Who Will Give In to Temptation?
January 12, 2013
So, who's going to be the sacrificial candidate? That's the question of the day, in the wake of U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller's announcement he will not seek re-election in 2014....
Oh, the racist card. How discerning. yawn

I'd like to believe that Mike Myer is wrong about WV voters, but if he is correct this is a sad commentary on our state. While much of the nation has moved into the 21st century, West By Gawd appears to be stuck with racial views that not only are morally wrong, but hurtful to the state's image. Who would want to bring business or industry to such a backwater?

Gooseman, Myer is talking about Obama and Republicans in West Virginia. I love my state, but when it comes to politics, we're in some sort of weird bubble, out of step with the rest of the nation. West Virginians despise the President. He's black ( Strike one, two and three). He is percieved to be some sort of a wild-eyed Marxist whish is false. Finally, yellow journalists like this guy and liars like McKinley have convinced everyone that the President hates us and our way of life through articles and op.ed.s promoting the fantasy war on coal, and now guns.

"Providing Republicans don't shoot themselves in the collective foot, they ought to have the Senate seat in the bag." Is Mr. Meyers even aware the GOP is in complete meltdown nationally? Until the GOP does shoot off one of their feet, they will remain, a minority.
When we get rid of 17 more far right extremist Teapublican House members in 2014, gridlock is abandoned and the future will look great. Just 17 far right extremist haters keeping any semblance of GOP leadership alive right now. Who is the leadership of the GOP nationally? TeaParty? I dont think so. Limbaaaa? Appears so.
The ONLY sane guy that the GOP could have had any chance of saving them was Jon Huntsman, who could have brought some dignity to the general election for the GOP. Instead, far right extremists picked the wrong rich, white Mormon. Huntsman should have been the GOPs Knight in Shining Armor. Instead he was not extreme enough and was kicked to the curb. Smart move. NOT!
