I had problems with beta version of Kerio VPN Client (KVC) and I decided to uninstall it and install older stable version. When I tried to uninstall it, I get a message: "Error 2738. Could not access VBScript run time for custom action." When I tried to install stable version of KVC without uninstalling older one, I get the same message.
I had similar problem on my machine:
Can't find script engine "VBScript"
It was a VAIO laptop with stock setup, however I've removed a lot of crappy pre-installed application like McAfee. It appears that the McAfee uninstaller was not able to restore the registry and there was the following entry:
Trying to delete the key as suggested by Simplius didn't work because of the permissions restrictions. I had to run regedit, find this key there, right click, Permissions, change owner to Administrator, change permissions to allow Administrator full access to the key.
Then I was able to replace this value with the correct one:
And finally the problem was resolved.
I know that it's an old question, but I had the same problem and the solution worked for me with a little change:
The regedit folder for 64-bit Windows is different, so the previous answer wouldn't have worked.

Stay Connected
Outlook No. (WRS-992) 56 pp, October 1999
Provision for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was integral to the agreements that established the European Union (EU) and the CAP has been among the most important EU policies administered and funded in common. Revisions or " reforms " of the CAP have been numerous,in response to dramatic changes in agricultural realities and circumstances since the 1960s. This report contends that the continuing need for revision results significantly from the interventionist nature of the CAP, which manages agricultural prices, precluding automatic market-directed adjustments of production and consumption to changing circumstances. Strong vested interests will continue to limit reforms, allowing revisions only when the immediate political costs of not reforming equal or exceed the costs of reform.

|Got PDEs to solve? Try the open source computational physics platform OpenFOAM
|CCMA Luncheon Seminar
|Xiaofeng Liu, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, PSU
|Abstract Link:
|The talk will showcase some modeling work for various physics problems (mainly in fluid mechanics) using the open source computational physics platform OpenFOAM®. It has been more than ten years since OpenFOAM® entered the public domain. The user base has grown tremendously evidenced by the active online community and the increasing publications. This platform is essentially a computational toolbox which solves mathematical models (partial differential equations, PDEs) using finite volume method. OpenFOAM solves the PDEs in an automatic fashion and yet provides sufficient user controls on almost all aspects of the numerics, for example discretization schemes. Parallel computation based on domain decomposition is also automatic since the mechanism is built into the lower level of the code structure. Upper level users do not need to know the details. It liberates the researchers from the burden of extensive computer coding and makes it possible for them to focus on the physics. From the abstraction of physical processes to mathematical models, to implement them in OpenFOAM and see the results, a proficient user probably only needs several hours. Our research group has used it for a variety of problems, including river and coastal hydraulics, porous media flows, sedimentation, buoyant plumes, etc.

- See Vienna like an Austrian empress with this sightseeing combo
- Follow in the footsteps of Empress Elisabeth – Sisi – at Schonbrunn Palace, the former summer home of the Habsburgs
- Explore Hofburg Palace and its many features including the Imperial Silver Collection
- Learn about Sisi's life and her famous quirks at the Sisi Museum
- Enjoy an elegant 3-course dinner at Café-Restaurant Residenz
- Listen to the works of Mozart and Strauss at a classical concert at the Schonbrunn Palace Orangery
Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
See the two must-do Viennese palaces, hear a concert of Mozart and Strauss favorites, and learn about Austrian Empress Sisi and the Habsburgs with this combo package. The museum and palace vouchers are valid for a year, so you can definitely take your time!
What You Can Expect
Schonbrunn Palace
Explore the former summer residence of the Habsburgs, where the athletic Empress Elisabeth spent much time riding horses and enjoying other summertime activities. With the self-guided audio tour, visit some of the palace's rooms, including Emperor Francis Joseph's bedroom and Sisi's grooming room.
Hofburg Palace
Another former home of the Habsburg dynasty, Hofburg Palace (also known as Vienna Imperial Palace) dates back to the 13th century and is today the seat of the Austrian president. It houses the Imperial Apartments, the Sisi Museum and the Imperial Silver Collection, all of which you can visit. Admire the ceremonial rooms and residential apartments used by Francis Joseph and Sisi, and discover what life was like at the Vienna Court. At the Sisi Museum, browse the many exhibits to learn about Sisi's intriguing life, including her rebellious side and her devotion to her beauty. Then at the Imperial Silver Collection, be wowed by the impressive array of silver dinnerware that belonged to the imperial family.
Imperial Furniture Collection
Gain insight into how Sisi and the rest of the Habsburgs lived by taking a peek at some of their extravagant furniture. This is one of the world's largest furniture collections, and it doesn't disappoint with more than 150,000 pieces from a cradle to a throne. In particular, seek out the exhibition dedicated to the furniture used in movies about or featuring Sisi.
Dinner at Café-Restaurant Residenz
At 6:30pm, your three-course dinner will be served in this elegant restaurant adjacent to Schonbrunn Palace. Your menu may include dishes like Austrian-style beef soup, pork medallions with prosciutto and polenta, and cake.
Concert at the Schonbrunn Palace Orangery
The grand finale to your royal Sisi adventure is a concert by the Schonbrunn Palace Orchestra. From your seat, enjoy music by classical composers like Mozart and Strauss. Doors open at 8pm and the concert begins at 8:30pm. At intermission, toast your Vienna experience with an included glass of sparkling wine, and then enjoy the rest of the performance, which ends at 10:15pm. When the night is over, use your public transport ticket to make your way back to your hotel (Sisi wouldn't have traveled this way, but it's faster than a horse-drawn carriage!).
Customer Reviews
June 2013
We enjoy it very much, the person who take care of us at the office was very kind. Nice package for two days.
Moustafa G United States of ...
September 2015
The ticket agent did not understand our package so we did not get a ticket for Hofburg Palace. Dinner was great. The concert was combination of symphony, opera and ballet is a class act. Highly recommended
December 2013
Was very enjoyable. It was great that we could divide into two days. I wish there would have been a ticket pickup point at the Hofburg, where we would have received the subway tickets to the Schonbrunn. We had wasted a full day on out multi-day pass getting to the Schonbrunn to pick up tickets and then received our to and from subway tickets. The palaces were beautiful with audio guides with great information. The dinner was somewhat disappointing-food was good, but Courtyard by Marriott, wasn't the setting for dinner that I expected. I had hoped for a more Vienna historical setting.

Today is marks the first day of National Hepatitis Awareness week, which is set to run until May 26th. With over 200 patient groups it is the first official global awareness event. Activities are planned nation wide to raise awareness of Hepatitis B and C.
What is Hepatitis B?(Mayo Clinic, National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, Web MD)
Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It affects the liver's vital functions including ability to fight infections and remove toxins from your blood. The hepatitis B virus is transmitted through contact with the blood and body fluids of someone who is infected. You're especially at risk if you are an intravenous (IV) drug user who shares needles or other paraphernalia, have unprotected sexual contact with an infected partner, or were born in or travel to parts of the world where hepatitis B is widespread. In addition, women with HBV can pass the infection to their babies during childbirth.
Some statistics on Hepatitis B (Hep B Foundation, Center for Disease Control)
2 billion people in the world have been infected (1 out of 3 people), of which 400 million are chronically infected.
An estimated 1 million people die each year from hepatitis B and its complications.
Approximately 2 people die each minute from hepatitis B.
There are 1.8 new hepatitis B cases per 100,000 population (2005)
What is Hepatitis C? (Mayo Clinic,Family Doctor, Medline Plus)
Hepatitis C is one type of hepatitis-a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Most people infected with the Hep C virus are asymptomatic or don't have any symptoms. Of the many types of Hepatitis, Hepatitis C is generally considered to be the most serious. Over time, it can lead to liver cancer, liver failure or cirrhosis (irreversible and potentially fatal scarring of the liver). Serious cases may need a liver transplant.
Some statistics on Hepatitis C (Center for Disease Control, World Health Organization)
Estimated number of new infections per year has declined from an average of 240,000 in the 1980s to about 19,000 in 2006.
Most infections are due to illegal injection drug use.
Transfusion-associated cases occurred prior to blood donor screening; now occur in less than one per 2 million transfused units of blood.
The risk for perinatal HCV transmission is about 4%.
Approximately 170 million people, 3% of the world's population, are infected with HCV and are at risk of developing liver cirrhosis and/or liver cancer.
The prevalence of HCV infection in some countries in Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean, South-East Asia and the Western Pacific (when prevalence data are available) is high compared to some countries in North America and Europe.

Some thoughts from a kitty's perspective
pretty great bday presentMay 1st 2012 3:21 pm
[ Leave A Comment | 1 person already has ]
Well the vet called today & after they did the second test on my blood, she said I DO NOT have hyperthyroidism! So mom says that is a pretty great birdday present! So all I really need now is a good report from the cardiologist checkup next week. Mom was starting to feel really bad about the bladder issue. But after doing some more research, & hearing from a few other kitties too it seems that sometimes even eating nothing but excellent grain free canned food, you still can have issues. So hopefully momma is not blaming on herself too much. So we'll see when we talk to the vet next week maybe I can eat some of the rx food, and still eat the good stuff too. Or maybe just take some meds to keep in line. Anyways, I am having a pretty great birdday. Mom says I will get a teeny lick of vanilla ice cream, but just a teeny weeny teeny one. Thanks for everyone's wishes & purrs. Mom has to work all day tomorrow, but we will be getting to all our thankies (& Smitty too) prob on Thursday. So thanks again all my friends. Oh and Maizy only hissed at me once today, so all in all - pretty great day!

Another fun weekend on the farm. But stupidly I forgot to take some photos of the work I was doing… so close your eyes and imagine.
Well no, don't close your eyes until after reading the blog.
Friday evening I stopped off to see a friend who has a lovely old Aston in his garage – and found a DB9 Volante in the lane outside. DB9 far too cramped for my taste – I like the grand tourer comfort and style of the V8.
I spent most of Saturday under the parts car in the barn, as I need parts of the handbrake and brackets for ROJ. Foul job. After the Barn flooded last time there is all sorts of … well you really don't want to know what's under the car now. In the end I didn't get the bracket off and will need to drill out a bolt next time I'm up.
Saturday evening usual pilgrimage to Ye Three Fishes in Turvey for a steak and stilton – cooked to perfection – bled all over the plate the moment I cut into it.
Sunday I spent riveting the bulkhead panel behind the dashboard into place and bolting on the fuel filter bracket. I also riveted the headlight cowl retaining ring back into place on the side of the car that Billy repaired for me.
The rear shocks came off again as I will replace the oil in them (EP90 is apparantly recommended) and refit those next time round.
My tool of the month is a 24 inch breaker bar from Halfords. I could have done with lt years ago for taking apart ROJ – but it works a treat on the spares car.
Only one more weekend to play before Christmas…..

The preseason kicks off Sunday night. Today and tomorrow we round out our look at the weaknesses of every team in the NFL. Today, the NFC West.Arizona Cardinals
Stronger Blockers Up Front
When an offense is compiled of an ageless wonder at quarterback, the best wide receiver in the game, the best compliment wide receiver in the game, and a promising rookie running back that is capable of handling the load right off the bat, points will be a plenty. If history wants to get in the way, the Cardinals are going to have a tough time getting back in to Super Bowl contention. The one aspect of this offense that can hold this unit back is arguably the most important, the offensive line. The talent in the trenches is in need of a couple of upgrades. While the unit as a whole took a major leap forward in 2008, the interior blocking or lack thereof was the main culprit in one turned out to be one of the worst rushing attacks in the league. A move from right tackle to left guard may be a smart move for the slow footed Levi Brown whom struggled as a pass protector in 2008. If that ends up being the case, an upgrade will be needed on the outside. No matter what, the Cardinals need to give a boost to the big uglies.
Steady Presence in the Middle
The Cardinals have been a strong offensive team for awhile now, but their defense was not even close to being up to par until this past season. The likes of Darnell Dockett, Adrian Wilson, and Karlos Dansby led the resurgence and are now complimented by a healthy mix of promising youngsters and solid veterans. They play a lot of hybrid defensive football, which plays well into their diverse athletes ont hat side of the ball. However when a defense plays such a complex scheme, it is vital that there is a steady presence in the middle. Gerald Hayes has been the starting middle/inside linebacker for three years however he has yet to record over 100 tackles in a season. He is a smart player that is good for the team's continuity and chemistry, but there comes a point where an upgrade needs to be brought in so that the position can be on par with the rest of the defense.
San Francisco 49ers
Franchise Quarterback
Alex Smith is a sure thing bust. Nate Davis is a middle of the pack, possible backup signal caller in the league. Shaun Hill is your typical career backup that had a little bit of success for a half a season, but will not maintain that level throughout a full sixteen game schedule. If the Niners want to return to a competitive nature, or even just a level of respectability, they need to get their quarterback for the future in to the system. If not, that team will go nowhere. They have the talent on both sides of the ball to make one of those random one year runs that could possibly sneak them into the playoffs, but in terms of the long run, a quarterback that is slated to be the starter for the next decade needs to be brought in. Teams that are consistently hoping they have the next Kurt Warner or Tom Brady on their roster are the ones that are consistently looking up from the bottom of the standings. It is not a coincidence.
Ballhawk Difference Maker
There were only two teams in the NFL that forced fewer turnovers than the 49ers in 2009. A miniscule six recovered fumbles and twelve interceptions will not get it done in this league if you want to play deep into January. There are different ways the Niners can go about taking care of this issue. Beefing up the pass rush is always the popular strategy, but they already have a couple of promising young players up front that can get to the quarterback. Manny Lawson should be given at least another year because of his freakish athletic ability and everyone knew Kentwan Balmer was somewhat of a project coming into the league last year. That leaves the secondary approach where adding a ballhawk or two could elevate the Singletary defense into something that could really pan out. Whether or not Reggie Smith is moved to safety, the Niners still need to add a body in the middle with range and instincts. They have reliable cover men on the outside so that a smart player in the middle could really benefit from taking chances and going after the passing lanes.
Seattle Seahawks
Stronger Rushing Attack
The Seahawks scored just ten touchdowns on the ground in 2008, which ranked fourth from the bottom in the NFL rankings. The loss of Maurice Morris is nothing to be overly concerned about but when you consider they are left with a combination of Julius Jones, TJ Duckett, Justin Forsett, and rookie Devin Moore to control the ground attack, one has to believe this is going to be a struggle for the Seahawks in 2009. None of the above mentioned names are every down runners and even though the committee-based rushing games are the new fad in the NFL, you still need they dependable back that can beat a defense in multiple ways. With Matt Hasselbeck slowly declining, the ground game is going to become more and more vital over the next few years.
Cover-First Safety
When the Seahawks signed Deon Grant to a six year deal in the spring of 2007, I'm assuming they planned on getting more than they have to this point from him. While he is a steady presence in the defensive backfield, 5 interceptions in 32 games is not what a team wants from one of the highest paid safeties in the league. Next to him is 31 year old Brian Russell whom has totaled just 1 interception in his 32 starts since the beginning of the 2007 season. It is fine to have one safety that is an in-the-box player that stuffs the run and direct traffic. But both Grant and Russell play that same role and neither of them are the kind of athletes that can cover a lot of ground and make plays against the pass. With a strong defensive line and even stronger linebacker corps, the run defense provided by the safeties can be compensated a bit for more of a cover-based talent.
St. Louis Rams
Reliable Targets
Gone are the days of Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt carving up defenses with their impeccable route running and catching ability. The Rams are now built on a power rushing attack riding on the wheels of Steven Jackson. While the depth behind him needs a boost, the targets that Marc Bulger has to work with will make it difficult for the offense to have any sort of production balance. The team's top wideout returning is second year veteran Donnie Avery who averaged a mere 12.4 yards per reception on his54 receptions. The next most productive receiver/tight end that is returning to the 2009 squad? Tight End Randy McMichael (11 catches – 139 yards). The addition of Ronald Curry could help but there is nothing at the wide receiver position that will give Avery a run for his money as the team's top target. With that in mind, I'm not even sure Avery is anything better than a slot receiver in a strong passing game. Bulger has the arm and the smarts to be a very respectable passer in this league, but he is not the kind of quarterback that can get it done with the tools, or lack thereof in St. Louis.
Interior Pass Rush
If there is one thing new head coach Steve Spagnuolo is going look to bring to St. Louis, it is a diversified pass rush. The Rams have a strong presence off the edge with solid depth, but there is almost nothing to speak of in the middle. While Spagnuolo will shift bodies around to create mismatches against the centers and guards, there still needs to be a boost in overall talent there. Not one of the team's 30 sacks in 2008 came from a defensive tackle. This will be a huge and telling year for former first round pick Adam Carriker who should play a Justin Tuck type role in the new scheme being implemented. He does not have the tools Tuck has, but he has size and strength that could create those mismatches Spagnuolo is looking to exploit. However besides him, the Rams need a boost in talent if their pass rush is going to be in par with what the new head coach is looking for.

WADSWORTH — Lexie Shirley will be bowling for dollars starting with the 2013-14 school year.
The Wadsworth senior accepted a scholarship offer that combines academics and athletics from Division II Ursuline College.
"It's cool," Shirley said Thursday. "Not many people get to bowl in college."
Shirley led the Grizzlies to the state team tournament as a junior, when she averaged 206, and qualified individually as a senior, when she averaged 198. The latter season, she was joined by freshman brother Brendan in the boys state tournament competition.
Like most kids her age, Shirley has never heard of the 1970s and '80s show "Bowling for Dollars." Nor did she know until recently that scholarship money was available to participate in the sport at the college level.
"I just bowled because I liked it," the right-hander said. "It wasn't until my junior year that I realized if I got serious, there were actually schools that offered scholarship money for it."
Shirley, who has a 3.8 grade-point average and scored a 24 on the ACT, also received a scholarship offer from D-II Notre Dame College. She plans on majoring in chemistry.
Shirley was a pitcher/first baseman for the Wadsworth softball team in the spring. The Grizzlies' season ended Wednesday with a Barberton Division I Sectional final loss to Cloverleaf.

The raspberry or hindberry is the edible fruit of a multitude of plant species in the genus Rubus, most of which are in the subgenus Idaeobatus; the name also applies to these plants themselves. Raspberries are perennial, with woody stems.
Raspberries contain significant amounts of polyphenol antioxidants such as anthocyanin pigments linked to potential health protection against several human diseases. The aggregate fruit structure contributes to its nutritional value, as it increases the proportion of dietary fibre, placing it among plant Foods with the highest fibre contents known, up to 20% fibre per total weight. Raspberries are a rich source of vitamin C, with 30 mg per serving of 1 cup (about 50% daily value), manganese (about 60% daily value) and dietary fibre (30% daily value). Contents of B vitamins 1-3, folic acid, Magnesium, copper and iron are considerable in raspberries.
Raspberries rank near the top of all fruits for antioxidant strength, particularly due to their dense contents of ellagic acid (from ellagotannins, see for instance raspberry ellagitannin), quercetin, gallic acid, anthocyanins, cyanidins, pelargonidins, catechins, kaempferol and salicylic acid. Yellow raspberries and others with pale-coloured fruits are lower in anthocyanins.

- Delicious raspberries are low in calories and saturated fats but are rich source of dietary fiber and anti-oxidants.100 g berries provide just 52 calories but contain 6.5 g of fiber.
- Raspberry tea is one of the best herbal teas for pregnancy to relieve nausea, prevent hemorrhage, reduce pain, and ease childbirth.
- Raspberries have significantly high levels of phenolic flavonoid phytochemicals such as anthocyanins, ellagic acid (a tannin), quercetin, gallic acid, cyanidins, pelargonidins, catechins, kaempferol and salicylic acid. Scientific studies show that these antioxidant compounds in these berries have potential health benefits against cancer, aging, inflammation, and neuro-degenerative diseases.
- Xylitol, a low-calorie sugar substitute extracted from raspberries. Xylitol contains just 9.6 calories, as compared to one teaspoon of sugar, which has 15 calories. Xylitol absorbs more slowly than sugar and does not contribute to high blood sugar levels; can be helpful in diabetics.
- The leaves of raspberry is used fresh or dried as herbal teas to regulate menstrual cycles and to decrease heavy menstrual flow.
- Fresh raspberries are excellent source of vitamin-C, which is also a powerful natural anti-oxidant. 100 g berries provide 26.2 mg of vitamin C. Consumption of fruits rich in vitamin C helps body develop resistance against infectious agents, counter inflammation, and scavenge harmful free radicals.
- Raspberries are also thought to contain compounds which are important towards having a healthy vision. The substance that appears to be responsible for this is called lutein.
- Eating red raspberries may possibly prevent cancer by inhibiting the abnormal division of cells. Research has found that black raspberries appear to be as helpful as red raspberries in preventing or slowing the growth of cancer. In a study it was shown that one cup of raspberries per week will stop prostate cancer growth for a period of up to one week.
- Raspberry contains anti-oxidant vitamins like vitamin A, and vitamin E. In addition to the above mentioned antioxidants, is also rich in many other health promoting flavonoid poly phenolic antioxidants such as lutein, zeaxanthin,and beta carotene in small amounts. Altogether, these compounds help act as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a role in aging and various disease process.
- Raspberry has an ORAC value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) of about 4900 per 100 grams, crediting it among the top-ranked ORAC fruits.
- Raspberries, especially the seeds, may become important in the booming cosmeceuticals market (skin care products with health benefits). The oil in raspberry seeds is rich in vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids and has a natural SPF (sun protection factor) of 25 to 50.
- Raspberries contain good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, copper, iron and Magnesium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. Copper is required in the production of red blood cells.
- They are rich in B-complex group of vitamins and vitamin K. Contain very good amounts of vitamin B-6, niacin, riboflavin, and folic acid. These vitamins are function as co-factors and help body in the metabolism of Carbohydrates, protein and fats.
- The raspberry has been used for centuries to treat pregnant women with morning sickness but more recent studies have shown that consuming 3 or more servings a day will lower the risk of age-related macular degeneration, the main cause of vision loss in older adults. Their high level of antioxidants helps neutralize free radicals in the body and thus, prevents damage to cell membranes & other structures

I stopped by Florida Southern College in Lakeland to walk around and see a hidden treasure here in Central Florida. This campus holds the largest collection of structures by Frank Lloyd Wright on one site (listed on the National Register of Historic Places). Its the only college campus that he designed. Construction started in the late 1930's. But, World War II affected progress and students were given tuition incentives to do the labor. When the men left for war, the women continued construction.
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), America's greatest Architect, is known to have designed over 1,000 structures and completed 532 throughout the world. As a child, his mother brought him educational blocks known as "Froebel Gifts". They were geometric shapes that, when put together, would create three dimensional figures. Frank Lloyd Wright played with these blocks for years and it is where he discovered the geometry of Architecture. He never completed a formal education but seemed driven internally to learn.
Originally from Wisconsin, he moved to Chicago in pursuit of job opportunities after the "Great Chicago Fire" of 1871. He eventually became an apprentice for Architect Louis Sullivan and was instrumental in designing the interiors of the "Auditorium Building," still one of the greatest landmarks of Chicago. Today, we see the "Prairie Style" home everywhere, another inspiration of Frank Lloyd Wright's play of Geometry.
Here on this campus, you can see how Frank Lloyd Wright used clear geometric lines to reach out and connect with the environment. Becoming one with nature was an important design principal for him. The Florida Southern College campus is called "A Child of the Sun." It was intended to look as if it was rising from the earth. A network of covered walkways extends the design while sheltering students from the elements of rain and sun, like peas on a pod. For anyone interested in turning off the beaten path of typical tourist spots, there is a visitor center, offering guided tours that can even take you inside the some of the buildings. That alone may be worth the trip.

ESPN's delayed decision to cut ties with Williams evidence of network's blurred policies
On the surface, it seems a ludicrous question to ask, one week after a country superstar compared the President to one of history's worst mass-murderers, getting himself booted off TV's most venerated showcase for football in the process.
But I still find myself asking: Why exactly did ESPN take Hank Williams Jr.'s theme song off "Monday Night Football?"
If ESPN were just an entertainment company, the answer would be simple. He said something publicly which made his brand radioactively controversial, so they separated their brand from his.
In other words, he committed the cardinal sin of an endorser; he risked making the sponsor look bad.
John Skipper, ESPN's vice president of content, said as much in an interview for the Poynter Review Project, a series of columns which provide an ombudsman-style look at ethical issues faced by the sprawling sports media company.
"We felt it was inappropriate to have that song be the opener for 'Monday Night Football' given that for a period of time (the Hitler analogy) will be the overwhelming association with Hank," Skipper said in a quote from the project's column Wednesday on the issue, written by Poynter Institute ethics instructor Kelly McBride and Jason Fry, my colleague here at the National Sports Journalism Institute's columnists lineup.
Still, ESPN is not just an entertainment company. It is also a journalism company, which means it has a greater responsibility to be transparent about its actions and a greater responsibility to follow guidelines every employee can easily understand and anticipate.
In this light, ESPN's initial press release on pulling Williams' theme from the Oct. 3 game – which said they were "extremely disappointed with his comments" – left a lot of wiggle room. Williams compared President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner playing golf together to "Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."
Was it his invoking of Hitler? The racial and cultural resonance of using such a comparison with a black president and a Jewish prime minister? Williams' unwillingness to back down and erratic behavior during the Fox News interview itself? ("Daily Show" host Jon Stewart later quipped he could "smell the Jack Daniels on his breath from the television.")
Poynter's column tries to address this, saying "ESPN's decision makes sense in light of its policy on political advocacy and how it has handled similar incidents in the past," noting that columnist Jemele Hill and football analyst Lou Holtz had to apologize for invoking Hitler in commentary on air.
Another problem here: ESPN seemed to wait until the comments became a full-blown controversy to act.
In an interview with Sports Business Daily, ESPN vice president of communications Mike Soltys said the Huffington Post's reporting on Williams' interview and USA Today reporter Michael Hiestand's piece for his "Game On" blog connecting the comments to "Monday Night Football" has a greater impact on the controversy.
"From a PR end, 20 years ago, when an issue would break locally, we would just hold our breath that the local (Associated Press) reporter wouldn't notice it," Soltys told SBD. "Then it became, 'Would SBD notice it?' That has evolved to now where you know everything is going to be noticed. As soon as we saw the Huffington Post thing – even though it wasn't connecting it to ESPN – we knew that we had an issue to deal with."
But I noted in a previous column that Williams already had questionable public statements in his past, including writing an anti-Obama song for the 2008 election (which he updated after his departure from ESPN), voicing anti-Obama political ads during that same election and performing a song where he pines for an America where the Confederate South had won the Civil War.
In truth, Williams has often skirted the boundary between Southern pride and cultural insensitivity many, many times. It would have been nice to see ESPN react to Williams' antics before they became a full-blown controversy, simply because he violated their standards.
You know, like news organizations do.
Seems to me that Williams likely violated whatever standard ESPN had about political stances and public statements long before last week. And failing to say why this situation is somehow different than the others – beyond the public humiliation factor, of course – leaves the public and employees guessing as to what exactly made this event a firing offense.
In a perfect world ESPN would have taken a stance on some of the larger implications wrapped up in Williams actions, so fans, staff and fellow journalists had a sense where exactly the line falls on these issues at the Worldwide Leader.
Maybe I can figure out a way to make this a major topic on Twitter and in cyberspace.
I have it on good authority that's a great way to spark a reaction at ESPN.

Globalisation survey puts NZ ahead of United States
An international survey has put New Zealand ahead of Australia and the United States in terms of globalisation.
The globalisation survey carried out by Ernst Young and The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked New Zealand 21 of 60 countries in 2012, the same spot as the previous year.
Australia was ranked 24th and the United States was in 25th place.
Hong Kong took the top spot, with Singapore second and Ireland in third place.
New Zealand ranked highly in terms of movement of goods and services, capital and finance, the exchange of technology and ideas and cultural integration.
But the survey found the country performed poorly on the movement of labour compared with its developed counterparts.
Financial services firm Deloitte says an increased uptake of broadband from the current level of 30% of the population should push New Zealand further up the index and is predicting the country will climb to 12th position by 2016.
Globally, firms worry that weak growth and increased competition could prompt more protectionism in the next year.
Nearly half the respondents expect an increase in protectionism in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) as well as developed countries.
But the survey suggested countries like Turkey, Mexico and Indonesia are emerging as strongly growing economies, while Peru, Malaysia and Vietnam are considered the best places to invest.

Has any religious community been the subject of more curiosity, controversy or misunderstanding than the Latter-day Saints? From the time pioneers settled the Salt Lake valley, Mormon culture has drawn the public eye and colored the public record — for better or for worse. Below are statements on Mormons from prominent people in history as well as modern times.
Horace Greeley
"I do not believe there was ever a religion whereof the great mass of the adherents were not honest and sincere."
Sir Richard F. Burton, translator of Arabian Nights and agent for the East India Company
Of his visit to Salt Lake and his conversation with Brigham Young, he said, "When conversation began to flag, we rose up, shook hands, as is the custom here, all round, and took leave. The first impression left upon my mind by this short seance, and it was subsequently confirmed, was, that the prophet is no common man, and that he has none of the weakness and vanity which characterize the common uncommon man."
Mark Twain, on his visit to Salt Lake City
"There was fascination in surreptitiously staring at every creature we took to be a Mormon. This was fairyland to us, to all intents and purposes — a land of enchantment, and goblins, and awful mystery. We felt a curiosity to ask every child how many mothers it had, and if it could tell them apart; and we experienced a thrill every time a dwelling-house door opened and shut as we passed, disclosing a glimpse of human heads and backs and shoulders — for we so longed to have a good satisfying look at a Mormon family in all its comprehensive ampleness, disposed in the customary concentric rings of its home circle."
Abraham Lincoln
"You go back and tell Brigham Young that if he will let me alone I will let him alone."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Good out of evil. One must thank the genius of Brigham Young for the creation of Salt Lake City — an inestimable hospitality to the Overland Emigrants, and an efficient example to all men in the vast desert, teaching how to subdue and turn it to a habitable garden."
Charles Dickens talking about the Liverpool emigrants going to Utah
"It is surprising to me that these people are all so cheery, and make so little of the immense distance before them."
P. T. Barnum, in speaking with Brigham Young in Salt Lake City
"Barnum," said Brigham Young, "what will you give to exhibit me in New York and the eastern cities?"
"Well, Mr. President," I replied, "I'll give you half the receipts, which I will guarantee shall be $200,000 per year, for I consider you the best show in America."
President Warren G. Harding called Utah children "Utah's best crop." "I do not know when I have seen so many happy, smiling, sturdy children in so short a period of travel."
President Franklin D. Roosevelt sent a letter to Winston Churchill about the Deseret News article noting that Clementine Churchill was related to a Mormon line and that Churchill was too.
"Hitherto I had not observed any outstanding Mormon characteristics in either of you — but I shall be looking for them from now on. I have a very high opinion of the Mormons — for they are excellent citizens."

Justin Bieber has been through a lot of rough times recently, with a string of allegations of criminal misconduct making it appear as if he is the target of a serious take down. Regardless of whether or not Bieber is actually guilty of any wrongdoing, what he needs most now is support of family, friends and fans to help him through this difficult time in his life. He is therefore lucky to have his greatest fan of all, his mother Pattie Mallette, standing by his side as reported by E! Online on Feb. 12, 2014.
Although Mallette has said she is genuinely concerned about her son, she has also made it clear she is not going to turn on him during this time of controversial time in his life. A source told E! news:
As any mom of an adult child, Pattie is holding him close and talking to him about everything, but she can't make his decisions for him."
Mallette has explained she doesn't have her head in the clouds and keeps in very close touch with her son.
Mallette has no plans to be anywhere but beside her son now, reports Inquisitr. The flood of criminal charges and dramas which are currently engulfing Bieber have seemed to draw his mother closer to him, as she shows the true emotions of a genuinely concerned mother. Bieber is under scrutiny dealing with charges of an alleged assault for attacking a limousine driver, a suspected DUI, and allegations of vandalism.
With his mom beside him now, and some prayers, hopefully Bieber will survive all of this and perhaps find some time to reflect on his behavior and turn his life around. Bieber is an extremely talented young man who appears to have a warm heart, and therefore needs the support his mother and others are offering him now.

I live in the UK and it's really annoying that the Google results are always American. How can I configure Firefox to use google.co.uk instead of google.com?
Go to this page and find Google UK from the list. Click on that link to install google.co.uk and confirm the addition. The new engine will appear in the search bar shortly. Select it from the search bar and you're done.
You can also check this Mozilla Help Page for alternative solutions.
You can also set the default search engine used when you type a search query in the address bar.
Enter the address "about:config", (If it's the first time you've used this, you'll be warned that you can break things here)
Enter "keyword.url" in the "filter" box. Double-click the result "keyword.URL", change the search provider query string and press OK, eg: http://google.co.uk/search?q=
I've not found a way to change the firefox default home page google search, which still annoys me (I'd just change the home page, except now that is the only way to access the restore session button).

Team Firebird recently competed at the Summit E.T. Finals outside Medford, OR. An enthusiastic group of racers earned a sixth place finish in the final standings. Looking back in time (more specifically - the Boise Roadster Show in 1989), Team Firebird won their first of four Division 6 crowns in 1988. Several of the racers were invited to showcase their race cars at the Roadster Show, including Shayne Schaefer and Scott Lemen as they are joined in this photo by former Division 6 Director Gene Bergstrom and Firebird's John New. Other racers standings in the background include: Schaefer, Dave Goff (who won at the `88 Finals), Scott Casper, Steve King, Ole McNamar, Mike Schreiner, Terry Anderson, George Phillips, Dale Harsin, and Lonnie Kuenzli.
It's no secret - we are already in the early planning stages to gear up for the 2007 E.T. Finals, which will take place at Woodburn Dragstrip in Woodburn, OR. As we "Drive for Number Five!" - we will be focusing all efforts on putting together the "STRONGEST, BADDEST, TOUGHEST 54 RACERS" in the history of Firebird and the Team Race itself, which dates back to 1978 (when we first attended and competed with 32 racers at Seattle Int'l Raceway). Mark your calendar right now - for the second weekend in September and make plans to be a part of Team Firebird "Drive for Number Five!" in 2007, `cause we are on a mission to bring the gold back to Idaho!

Peugeot 505
Most French cars of the 1980s and before were weirdly styled, horribly unreliable, slow, and possessed a combination of pillowy ride and freak-show interior ergonomics. This combination proved to be either immediately endearing or nausea-inducing to Americans.
The Citroen CX, for example, was such a car--my lust for that vehicle marks me as one of those unfortunates genetically predisposed to French cars. I'm hoping medical science finds some pharmacological help for me before I do something I regret.*
If it is at all possible for a French car to be in the American mainstream--and I'm not at all convinced that this possibility exists--then the Peugeot 505 was it. It replaced the typically strange 504, but set itself apart from the diverse oddness of other French cars.
Smart buyers bypassed the gutless base four-cylinder, but real power was available from either a smooth V-6 in the STX, or a punchy turbo. Its handling was almost sporty, and its driving manners were endearing. Its handsomely crisp sedan lines were reminiscent of a contemporary BMW 7-series, but with just a hint of Gallic expressiveness--which, like the pungent bleu cheese of which the French are so fond, is best used in strict moderation lest it overwhelm the basic flavor. The 505 was also available as a good-looking wagon.
The 505 sold like hotcakes in America, at least by French car standards. Which is to say, Toyota has probably spilled more Corollas off the docks than Peugeot sold 505s. Nonetheless, you can still find 505s on the road, and for me at least, a used 505 is a dangerously seductive option. There were a cornucopia of interesting European sports coupes and sedans available in the 1980s, and for me the Peugeot 505 was one of the most interesting of the group. Viva la difference!
I've included a creepy and bizarre 505 commercial below--evidently a 505 driving through your window and coming to a stop in your bedroom is proof positive that the French brought the same inspiration to the 505 as they do, um, in the bedroom. That's information we don't get from Chevy and Ford.
The handsome 505s featured here all belong to Peugeot Club of North America members. The top 505 STX belongs to Rick Matteis, the gray 505 STi belongs to Mike Murphy, and the gorgeous 505 GLS wagon belongs to Jim Lill.
* I once came this close to purchasing a windshield-less diesel Peugeot 504 in a level of condition that could best be described as not "Excellent," not "Good," not even "Poor," but rather "returning to the earth from whence it came." Fortunately, my horrified friends staged an intervention and brought me to my senses. I still get goosebumps and cold sweat when I think about that near-miss.

Ducks Top Dons 4-2
Courtesy: GoDucks.com
Release Date: 04/09/2012
In the bottom of the fifth, Pac-12 Player of the Week Brett Thomas drove in the go-ahead runs with a two-out, bases-loaded, two-run single back up the middle.
As San Francisco (14-21) led 2-1 heading into the bottom of the fifth, starter Jordan Remer (1-3) got into trouble after surrendering two walks and a single to load the bases with two outs. USF went to the bullpen in favor of right-hander Cameron Love, but a wild pitch from Love scored the game-tying run as Connor Hofmann came across the plate. Love then walked Ryon Healy to load the bases for Thomas.
In the loss, Remer allowed four runs on three hits and five walks while striking out four in four and 2/3 innings on the mound.
Oregon (21-9) left-hander Jordan Spencer (1-1) was credited with the win after holding San Francisco to one run on six hits in four and 2/3 innings of relief while registering two strikeouts.
In his first start on the mound for Oregon, Scott Heineman allowed one run on one hit and one walk, while striking out one in two and 1/3 innings of work.
In the top of the ninth, Jimmie Sherfy picked up his seventh save of the year, retiring the final two batters of the game.
Brett Hambright and Hofmann led the Ducks with two hits apiece.
The Ducks and Dons return to action at noon on Tuesday at PK Park. It will be a Bi-Mart $2 Tuesday, and fans can pick up a coupon at Bi-Mart to get $2 general admission to the game.
Notes: Scott Heineman made his first career start on the mound for Oregon…Henry Gigeous made his first career appearance on the mound…Oregon leads the all-time series against USF 6-0.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - As China's appetite for coal is booming, American investors and businesses are cashing in.
American pension and mutual fund money is being invested in the Chinese coal industry, which is lucrative but has a poor record for pollution and worker safety.
Look no further than China Shenhua Energy Co., the Beijing giant that produces about 170 million tons of coal a year from 21 mines and builds power plants.
While about 80 percent of the company's stock is owned by Shenhua Group in Beijing, the rest of its shareholders reads like a who's who of U.S. investors: Fidelity Investments, OppenheimerFunds, Merrill Lynch, even the Teachers Retirement System of Texas.
The performance of Shenhua's Hong Kong-listed shares explains why U.S. investors love Chinese coal.
Shenhua gained almost 65 percent from July through September, while Peabody - a favorite of analysts who follow U.S. coal companies - lost more than 3 percent over the same period. Shenhua's initial public offering in Shanghai in September raised $8.9 billion, a record for mainland China.
U.S. investment in the likes of Shenhua has gone largely unnoticed.
Individual investors such as the retired Texas teachers probably don't know their money is going into Chinese coal stocks, says corporate government expert Nell Minow.
But while such companies might come with concerns, investors find poor returns equally upsetting, she adds.
"You're really on the horns of a dilemma," she said. "You can't afford not to be in China."
A spokesman for the Texas pension fund declined to comment.
Even environmental groups that have criticized the U.S. coal industry for practices such as mountaintop-removal mining have been largely silent on investing in Chinese coal.
The Rainforest Action Network, for instance, focused on the United States in its criticism of Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp.'s involvement with the coal industry.

I can't speak for everyone, but two years ago we were able to have Jason Marsalis up for our clinic. We sent 3-4 days that were best for us and they picked one. We set aside a time block (4-6:30pm I think) and used that entire time for our clinic. It worked great...we had plenty of time to work on the Swing Central tunes and then Jason played one or two other tunes that the kids had in their folder. Our parents fed the kids and Jason dinner. They enjoyed the time to meet him and "talk shop"!
Looking forward to another great experience this year!

Italy's De Rossi: England would have been scary under Capello
Italy's star midfielder Daniele De Rossi believes the mere presence of England's former boss Fabio Capello would have scared their Euro Cup rivals.
Capello quit the post following a row with the Football Association in February, and Roy Hodgson was appointed as his successor.
The former Liverpool boss would take charge of the Three Lions against the Azzurri in Sunday's Euro 2012 quarterfinal, and De Rossi claims if Capello was still present then his team would have been more worried.
"Capello on the bench can scare you. With all respect to their actual coach, he [Capello] is extra special," The Daily Mirror quoted De Rossi, as saying.
"At Roma, he took me from the youth team to the first team and with him I became an Under-21 international, ready for the national team. To say that I owe him everything is not enough," he added. (ANI)

Earl Thomas
5'10, 197 pounds | Safety | Texas
Agility/Hips: Shows smooth, fluid hips in his backpedal. Is a quick-twitch athlete, which would help him if a team decides to use him at cornerback. Exceptional short-area quickness. Can turn his hips
Ball Skills: Thomas has perhaps the best ball skills of any defensive back in this year's class – Eric Berry included. Thomas is a natural with the ball in the air. He catches the ball like a wide receiver and properly carries the ball. Intercepted eight passes as a sophomore, and returned two for touchdowns.
Body Control: Great high-point agility. Times his leaps really well and reportedly has a good vertical. Maintains his balance while changing direction.
Instincts: Possesses elite recognition skills – both against the pass and sniffing out the run. When he plays back in coverage, Thomas does an excellent job of reading the quarterback's eyes.
Pass Coverage: Thomas has the skills to be a starting cornerback in the NFL. He stays low in his backpedal and doesn't take false steps in his break. Adept playing in zone. Has the quickness and playing intelligence to give up a cushion and breaking back on the play. Locates the ball exceptionally well, especially when it's in the air.
Pursuit: Although Thomas gives up a good amount of size, he doesn't mind taking on large blockers. Has flawless lateral pursuit.
Run Support: Gives a good effort supporting the run, but doesn't have the size to always be a factor. Breaks on the ball really well. Not much more than a help player against the inside run. Doesn't have the size to shoot through gaps in the middle and can be manhandled by guards and centers. Does a nice job of working the outside run.
Size: Listed by Texas at 5-foot-10 and 197 pounds, Thomas has average size for the position. His legs are strong throughout, so if he gets bigger he may not face a loss of quickness or speed. Where Thomas needs to get much stronger is in his upper body. He's tight-skinned, but doesn't have enough power to take on strong running backs in the open field.
Speed: Has very good straight-line speed to stay with receivers on deep routes. With his speed, Thomas can afford to play off tight ends which allows him to diagnose the play. Tackling: Solid contact tackler. Solid wrap-up tackler in the open space and will lower his shoulder and pop the ball carrier. In traffic and near the line of scrimmage, Thomas will sometimes become an arm tackler and miss. When he shows good technique, Thomas shows he can lower his pads and run through receivers.
Final word: Thomas had nothing short of a phenomenal season. He was second on Texas with 71 total tackles. He intercepted eight passes and totaled 16 pass breakups and 24 passes defended. Add to those numbers five tackles for a loss and you have one of the best seasons for a defensive back ever.
So when Thomas, a redshirt sophomore, announced he was entering the 2010 NFL Draft, it was no surprise. He was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given to the nation's top defensive back. Several publications named him a first-team All-American and first-team All-Big-12 member.
Thomas started every game he played at Texas, 27 in total. Some might consider him as inexperienced, but Thomas has shown he has the football acumen to play at the next level. Played safety in college, but some teams might consider him a cornerback. His ball skills, agility and speed would say as much.

Beowulf Lines 1232-1496 Summary
- Everyone continues to drink wine and enjoy themselves, but the narrator knows that something sinister is about to happen.
- King Hrothgar retires for the night, and the rest of the warriors bed down to sleep in Heorot Hall for the night. Because Grendel is dead, they think they're completely safe—but at least one of them is already "marked for death" (1241).
- Even in their sleep, the Geatish and Danish warriors are ready for battle. They keep their shields at their heads and their armor, helmet, and spear on the bench just above where they're sleeping.
- The warriors go to sleep—but Grendel's mother, grieving for her son, is out marauding in the night, ready to revenge herself on her son's killers.
- Grendel's mother comes to Heorot Hall, which is filled with sleeping, unsuspecting warriors. She attacks, and she's nearly as powerful as Grendel himself was.
- The warriors wake up and grab their swords and shields; they don't have time to put on their helmets or chain-mail shirts.
- Grendel's mother panics. Clutching the corpse of one of Hrothgar's retainers, she flees back to the swamp.
- Where's our hero while all this is happening, you ask? Beowulf is somewhere else, because after his heroic exploits Hrothgar didn't want to make him sleep on the floor of the hall with the common soldiers.
- In Heorot Hall, everything is chaos. Not only did Grendel's mother kill several men from each tribe, Danes and Geats alike—she also stole Beowulf's trophy, the severed arm of Grendel.
- When King Hrothgar hears the news, he is grief-stricken by the death of his retainer, who was his dearest companion.
- Hrothgar, wondering if God is ever going to have mercy on him, sends for Beowulf, who doesn't know what has happened yet.
- Beowulf asks if Hrothgar has rested, and Hrothgar replies that he can never rest as long as the Danes are plagued by yet another demon. He laments the death of his counselor, whose name, we learn, is Aeschere.
- Hrothgar realizes that Grendel's mother is bound to avenge the death of her son. That's how things work in this medieval world: every killing brings about another killing, and deaths turn into blood feuds.
- There is a legend, Hrothgar tells Beowulf, among the local people, about two huge monstrous demons, one male and one female, who roam the countryside together. He thinks this explains the appearance of the second monster, Grendel's mother.
- Although earlier the poet has described Grendel as the descendant of Cain, here he's described as "fatherless," from a mysterious, ghostly, demonic source. Grendel and his mother live on the moors, where streams disappear into the mist.
- A few miles away from Heorot Hall, King Hrothgar tells Beowulf, there is a strange, eerie lake. As far as men can tell, it's bottomless, and at night the water burns. Deer who come to its banks would rather stay where they are and be torn apart by pursuing hounds than jump into it.
- Hrothgar thinks this lake must be the place where Grendel's mother lives. He puts his faith in Beowulf, asking him to seek the monster if he dares, and offering more treasures as a reward if he succeeds in killing it and coming back alive.
- Beowulf comforts Hrothgar with tough love, telling him that everyone dies and that it's better to avenge the deaths of our loved ones than to sit around mourning them. All warriors can do, he reminds Hrothgar, is try to win fame before they're eventually killed.
- Beowulf swears to track down Grendel's mother and kill her.
- Hrothgar praises God for Beowulf's promise. Hrothgar, Beowulf, and their followers ride out, tracking Grendel's mother across the moors. She's pretty easy to follow, since she's dragging Aeschere's corpse behind her.
- Hrothgar, Beowulf, and their retinue follow Grendel's mother up the cliffs, into places where they have to walk single-file along narrow ledges. Suddenly, they come to a place where some trees grow out at an angle—the path ends. They're at a dead end on a ledge above the watery lair of the demon.
- Everyone is disturbed to realize that Aeschere's severed head is lying at the foot of the cliff.
- The whole group sits down to watch the water of the lake, which is filled with sea-monsters and reptiles thrashing around. Someone blows a war-horn and the monsters go crazy.
- One of the Geats shoots one of the sea-monsters with an arrow, crippling it. Other warriors rush up and stab it with spears, dragging it onto the bank and looking at it in amazement.
- Beowulf dons his chain-mail armor and a golden helmet to protect himself from the crushing grip of the monsters.
- Unferth lends Beowulf an ancient sword called Hrunting, which was tempered in blood and which has never lost a battle.
- The narrator speculates that Unferth must not remember the drunken speech criticizing Beowulf that he made earlier. Unferth simply isn't brave enough to take on the monsters in the way Beowulf is willing to do.
- Beowulf says goodbye to Hrothgar, reminding him that he promised to take care of the Geat warriors if Beowulf is killed in battle and to send the treasures Beowulf won to the Geat king, Hygelac. Beowulf also announces that, if he is killed, Unferth will get Hrunting back.
- Without further ado, Beowulf leaps into the churning lake. It takes most of a day before he can see the bottom. (You'll just have to suspend your disbelief about the fact that he couldn't breathe if that were the case.)

Chocolate-Dipped Holidays
Baby, it's cold outside! During these frozen and dark days, the warmth of the kitchen beckons more strongly than ever. Here at Theo, we've been heeding its call and have come up with a few simple and creative ideas that we hope will bring a festive glow to your own kitchen this holiday season. With little more than a bowl full of melted chocolate, we'll show you how you can make tasty and unique chocolate-kissed treats. What's more, we've designed these gift ideas with children in mind, so the whole family can take part (and the results make excellent afternoon treats, to boot).
What better time of year to gather around your kitchen table and create edible gifts to share with your loved ones? Fire up your favorite holiday tunes and let's get dipping!
Chocolate for Dipping and Drizzling
Chocolate can be intimidating to work with, but it need not be. If you want to get technical, you can find instructions on our website for tempering chocolate, which will give it that sharp, professional sheen. However, a small amount of tempered chocolate is difficult to hold in temper, and we've found that with just a little attention and a bit of coconut oil, you can create a very similar result. Here, we'll show you how, and then we'll talk about what to do with that lovely liquid chocolate.
- 3-4 3oz Theo bars of your choice (Gingerbread Spice or Peppermint Stick Holiday bars perhaps?)
- 1-2 tsp coconut oil
- Break or chop the bars into small pieces.
- Place in a small microwave-proof bowl and microwave in 30-45 second increments, stirring well after each. The goal is to melt the chocolate without it becoming very hot, so be patient and take your time.
- Once the chocolate is fully melted (this should take approximately 2 minutes total), add a small spoonful of coconut oil and stir until it is no longer visible.
- Check the temperature of your chocolate. You can do this with a kitchen thermometer or by using your own sensory skills: dip a fingertip into the chocolate and touch it to your lip. If it feels warm, it is not yet ready for use. But if it feels neutral or even a touch cool, you are good to go. On a thermometer, you want it to register somewhere between 90 and 99ºF. The closer to 90ºF the chocolate is, the nicer it will look once it dries. If it is too warm, simply set it aside for several minutes while you prepare your dipping items or popcorn and check again.
Chocolate-Dipped Delights
The list of edibles that benefit from a generous coating of chocolate is endless. The following are a few simple suggestions to get you going:
- Dried apricots, dried mango slices, dried banana slices
- Coins of crystallized ginger
- Breadsticks and pretzels
- Shortbread cookies or gingersnaps
- Graham crackers
Get to Dipping!
Line one or two cookie sheets with parchment paper and place on your kitchen table. Place the bowl of prepared chocolate out on the table and put the items for dipping beside it. One by one, dip the items roughly halfway (or as desired) in the chocolate and allow the excess to fall back into the bowl. Gently scrape the underside of the item on the edge of the bowl (this will prevent a puddle of chocolate from forming around your finished product) and then place the item on the parchment. Continue until the chocolate is used up or until you are finished.
Place the sheets in the refrigerator (or outside) for a couple of minutes to set. Allow to sit at room temperature for at least several more hours to continue to set up more firmly before packing in gift bags or storing in sealed containers.
Chocolate Popcorn
Warning: this is dangerously easy to make, and to eat!
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels, freshly popped
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Sea salt
- Chocolate for dipping/drizzling (prepared as indicated above)
- Line a rimmed half sheet pan or similarly sized pan (roughly 12 inches by 16 inches) with parchment paper. Pour the freshly popped corn onto the pan. Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn and sprinkle with a generous pinch of sea salt. Toss to combine, then spread evenly in the pan.
- Using a spoon that has been warmed in someone's hand, drizzle the prepared chocolate over the top of the popcorn, using a continuous motion so as to even coat the popcorn. Continue drizzling spoonfuls of chocolate over the top until it is as chocolate-covered as you desire. Sprinkle with another generous pinch of sea salt.
- Place outside in the cold or in the refrigerator to set for a couple of minutes.
- Store in sealed bags or containers. Best when eaten within several days.
- We think this popcorn is absolutely delicious in its simplicity, but if you'd like to embellish with dried cranberries, toasted nuts, or any other flavor ideas, go for it.

Should police be allowed to tip off criminals?
State Sen. Dave Koehler (D) doesn't think so. He's sponsoring a bill that would make it a felony.
In 1998, a police dispatcher warned a drug dealer that the police were near his home. A trial court found the dispatcher guilty of official misconduct, sentencing her to two years of probation. She appealed. In 2010, the Illinois Supreme Court called her actions "unjustifiable", but found her not guilty. There was no state law against what she had done.
Koehler said that the public should be able to trust the police to enforce the law.
The bill (SB2695) provides that an employee of a law enforcement agency commits misconduct when he or she knowingly uses or communicates, directly or indirectly, information acquired in the course of employment, which obstructs, impedes, or prevents the investigation, apprehension, or prosecution of any criminal offense or person. It also provides that an employee who violates this provision is guilty of a Class 3 felony and shall forfeit his or her office or employment.

Harvesting maple sap and boiling it down into syrup is an old tradition in Vermont. When winter turns into mud season the sap starts to run. Some collect it the old fashioned way - hand-drilled taps in the maple trees dripping into galvanized buckets, horses driving through the sugarbush pulling the collecting vat, gathering the harvest by hand and pouring it in, then hauling the sap to the sugarhouse where a wood-fired boiling pan steams off 34 gallons of water for every gallon of syrup that is made. This book pictures a tradition of March in Vermont where big Percherons are used to work the sugarbush and maple-fired boilers make the syrup.
Gerry Davis is a photographer with a great love for the Vermont countryside, hill farms, sailing, seacoasts, church, fishing, and particularly people at work and at play. He takes great pleasure in sharing images of special times and special places. He works as a Professor of Medicine at the University of Vermont and a lung disease specialist at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington. He is a transplanted "Flat-Lander" who came to Vermont almost 40 years ago; in another 2 generations his family will be "natives".

Enjoyed your chronicle of making maple syrup. Sounds good right now!
Take a look at my books, Feline Fractals Fantasy, But I Thought I was Mommy's Baby and A Cat Abroad on the Streets of Heidelberg. Tell me what you think of them and do vote if you like them.

EverBGreen says Greetings from Upstate New York where the tradition is also strong. There were family outings as a child and now an annual reminder upon a wagon ride at Highland Forest outside of Syracuse, New York. I highly recommend making their pancake breakfast with fresh maple syrup an annual affair. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do such a superb job in chronicling the tradition.

We get a little jealous anytime we see someone sporting a faux fur vest on the streets, and it's only because we are envious with how simple they make it seem to pair it with anything. We have finally accepted that these vests are not as hard to wear as they look, which is why we are going straight for the Rebecca Taylor Faux-Fur Vest ($350) as soon as we get off work. The perfect colors in the faux fur make this outer piece a neutral for the fall and winter seasons and also make you pop out as the fashionista of the block, party, or where ever you are found wearing this furry little number!

Shackleton: Antarctic Odyssey a new graphic novel from Nick Bertozzi, (released on June 17), puts Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton in the spotlight. Shackleton the man was one of the last great Antarctic explorers, noted for leading some of the most ambitious expeditions ever undertaken on Earth's southernmost continent. Bertozzi's tale is an imagining of one of such adventure in particular––the rather grandly named Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition which spanned from 1914-1917.
Shackleton and his party set out upon the Endurance with the aim to travel to Antarctica and voyage across it before making their glorious return. Ambitious and impressive as that undertaking is on paper, it is all the more a tale that begs for an epic retelling given the knowledge that despite a number of pitfalls and some very desperate circumstances not a single man died on the expedition, though all of them surely must have thought they would at one point or another.
Bertozzi fills his pages not only with this adventure, but also with the little details that make Shackleton and his men tangible to the reader. His pages, like the continent Shackleton and company are exploring are largely white (with muted colors taking on the detail work), a smart choice that allows all of the color to come from the characters. Bertozzi, who received much praise for Lewis & Clark, an earlier work in this same vein, proves himself a master of taking his readers along for the ride, even as he imparts as much information as a textbook, and then some considering that we get a real sense of the personality of these men from the pages.
Fans of adventure and history buffs alike are sure to enjoy this visual rendering of an incredible survival tale. Shackleton: Antarctic Odyssey is a breezy, interesting read that wisely uses style and art to highlight the stories of these real men who lived in a romantic age of discovery and exploration that now feels distant to us, except for when we lose ourselves in art that captures it.
