Twitter Has Spoken: What Does the Social Community Think of Armstrong's Confession?
Attensity Europe analyzed more than 250,000 tweets in English related to last night's confession by Lance Armstrong to doping. Attensity Pipeline delivered 48,000 tweets within just the first 30 minutes of Armstrong's TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, a clear demonstration of the important role social media plays in tapping into the public zeitgeist.
Time Series January 17, 2013, 05:00pm – 12:00am Pacific Time (times shown in the chart are Central European Time)
Obviously, most tweets in English originated in the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia. In the USA, the majority of the comments originated in California, Texas and New York — not surprising, considering that California and New York are the heartland of media (social and traditional) and Texas is the home of Lance Armstrong.
Distribution of tweets originating from the USA
The tweets offer some interesting revelations. Anger was by far the emotion most often expressed, followed by disengagement, sadness, excitement, happiness, confusion, and worry.
Emotional terms expressed in tweets
Let's take a look at the statements expressed in the tweets. That Armstrong doped is the distinct number one (52%), while the confession itself only ranks at number five (5%). Second place goes to cynical and ironic tweets that emphasize Armstrong's behavior (12%). Third place goes to tweets that criticize his long-time cheating (8%).
However, several hundred tweets point at his charitable deeds related to his Livestrong cancer foundation (7%). Many others express their continuing respect for him (4%) or appreciate his courage for admitting to doping (4%). Two percent of social commenters even write that Armstrong is still their hero.
Compared to the sentiment voiced in traditional print and broadcast media, at least a small part of the social media community seem to be sticking by Mr. Armstrong, even though the majority are angry or disengaged.

The NJCAA recently named Wynn the President of the NJCAA's WBCA. The WBCA All Star games are this weekend in Niceville, Florida and Wynn is the man in charge. Jones was elected to play in the games this weekend.
Wynn had been the vice president of the NJCAA's WBCA. The Booker native enters his eighth season as Seward head coach and is 187-46.

Tommy Ramone died Friday, July 11 at his home in Queens, NY. He was 65. Born Erdélyi Tamás, the musician was the drummer and last surviving member of the Ramones original lineup which included Joey Ramone, aka Jeff Hyman who died in 2001 of lymphatic cancer, Dee Dee Ramone, aka Douglas Colvin who died from a drug overdose in 2002, and Johnny Ramone aka John Cummings who died in 2004 of prostate cancer.
Mr. Tamás died from complications of bile-duct cancer.
The Morning Call reports, "Tommy Ramone's illness became public knowledge in March 2013, when he took ill and had to drop off a tour with The Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock. Ramone was replaced by Sylvain Sylvain of The New York Dolls."
As tributes and memories pour in from fans and favorite Tommy Ramone quotes abound, the Ramones album review in 1,000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die by Tom Moon captures the essence of this "group of misfit kids from Queens who could barely play their instruments" so many love, cherish and will miss.
"Made for $6,000.... Ramones is the first, best, and most unlikely manifesto of punk rock. It's also a kind of anti-standard, the record that decimates all the academic theorizing that gathered around punk as cultural watershed.
"Later punk became a "movement," a study in stance and calculation that could be endlessly reappropriated. But in 1976, when the four leather-jacket-wearing Ramones regularly terrorized New York's CBGBs with twenty-minute shows, punk was Joey Ramone uttering the immortal words "Now I wanna sniff some glue" in a dire monotone.
"Ramones is cheap thrills sped up to breakneck speed and played as though the four musicians were racing to see who could finish first. Most of the songs depend on three chords, and last less than two minutes - the basic Ramones strategy is run, gun and done.
"The songs the Ramones concocted for this album (and subsequent ones) work because they're so simple. Anyone could play them - even though Ramones had a relentless energy that was hard to duplicate. The everyman quality proved critical to the spread of punk: Two of the significant U.K. punk bands, the Clash and the Damned, began performing within days after seeing the Ramones London debut, which happened on July 4, 1976. The Ramones' punk was a spastic lurch, a homemade contraption that seemed at any minute on the verge of spinning out of control."
The official Ramones website posted this 1978 quote from Tommy Ramone: "It wasn't just music in The Ramones: it was an idea. It was bringing back a whole feel that was missing in rock music – it was a whole push outwards to say something new and different. Originally it was just an artistic type of thing; finally I felt it was something that was good enough for everybody."

Who's the Enemy? The Catholic Church. Chicago Cardinal Francis George is unhappy that the gay pride parade will pass a local parish on the final Sunday in June–and that the Catholic leadership was not consulted about the new parade route. Today on Fox Chicago News the Cardinal compared gay "rhetoric" to that of the Klu Klux Klan. (h/t Anthea Butler)
Plea Inbred. If you haven't yet read Matthew Shaer's latest for New York magazine, go do so now. He covers the Borough Park murder case of 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky by a member of the Hasidic community. The accused's lawyer is now claiming his client is inbred.
Merry Krampus! Peter Manseau on Krampus, Anthony Bourdain and the Pope:
Folk traditions—whether they are expressed through stories of Krampus, Charlie Brown and his friends, or an island full of misfit toys—echo into more institutional forms of belief through the memories of the boys and girls who become the men and women who shape religion. Particularly in a faith with global reach, it is easy to forget the influence (and the horror) of the local.
Media Benders. James D. Davis at the Sun Sentinel sends us these two quick links: a vicar rapping the story of the birth of Jesus; and a new comic by graphic novelist Billy Tucci, "A Child is Born."
Oh Holy Quack. Jeremy Stahl writes about Sweden's odd Donald Duck Christmas eve tradition:
Over the last half-century, the characters and sketches have become as much a part of the holiday as the Christmas tree, so much so that each time TV1 has suggested modifying the schedule, public outcry has forced the network to back down.
South Sudan and Israel Sitting in a Tree. Al Jazeera wonders why Netanyahu is cozying up with Salva Kiir:
Both sides have also agreed to boost their co-operation in all fields. Israel's foothold in South Sudan is significant, as it continues its efforts to build a Christian alliance in Africa to fend off Arab influence and the growing Islamic trends there.
Don't miss Alex Thurston's recent articles on South Sudan, the world's newest nation, here and here.
South Africa's got problems and according to Jacob Zuma they can all be traced back to the introduction of Christianity there in the 19th century. Quotes Barney Henderson at The Telegraph:
"As Africans, long before the arrival of religion and [the] gospel, we had our own ways of doing things," he said.
"Those were times that the religious people refer to as dark days but we know that, during those times, there were no orphans or old-age homes. Christianity has brought along these things."

The surest sign yet that dating has gone digital: Flikdate is a video speed dating app recently made available for Google Play and iPhone. If you're sick of wasting hours at a time over boring dinners and dates that go nowhere, Flickdate may be just what you've been looking before.
Flikdate.com connects you with the app's Twitter and Facebook accounts and there's a great informational video, too. The concept is simple: download the app, buy some Fliks, then start having 90 second video dates – speed dating for the millennials. If you like what you see you can "thumbs up" someone for hotness or even invite them on a real date right then and there. Don't like the person on the other end of the line? Simply "flik" them away and load another speed date immediately.
The app itself is free to download (iTunes is the easiest way) and you simply pay by how many "Fliks" you want although you get 25 free fliks every 24 hours. Currently you can buy 25 Fliks for only a buck – and that many Flicks could go a long way! Right now the biggest issue to Flikdate is the limited number of singles using it but once the app takes off it could really be a hit. Cheaper, easier, and more to the point than some other online dating sites, Flikdate.com has the right idea.

Drug Interactions:
Do not use Bilberry without first talking to your practitioner or healthcare provider if your taking any of the following medications:
Blood Thinning Agents -
Because the anthocyanidins in Bilberry may inhibit blood from clotting, there may be an increased risk of bleeding in those taking anthocyanidin extracts from bilberry along with blood thinners.
Those taking Warfarin or other blood thinners in the same class, known as anticoagulants, should be very careful if considering use of Bilberry and should be followed closely by a doctor who will check yourINR (a measurement to indicate, in part, your risk of bleeding).
The whole Bilberry Fruit, therefore, which contains both anthocyanidins and tannins (that may help stop bleeding) is likely safer if you are on a blood thinner than the isolated anthocyanidin extracts.

One idea I would like to commend to > folks is the way that Dylan accomplished all of this -- all methods > were by default dynamic, but you could 'seal' any method you wanted > for static dispatch. Elegant and simple idea. BTW Dylan was a large influence on the semantics on Groovy. The current mechanism I'd assumed when starting Groovy was that if a variable/parameter/field was given a type, then it would use static method dispatch & it'd be a compile error to call a method thats not available at compile time. (i.e. act like normal static typing). If the type information was excluded then dynamic typing would be used. So String x = "hello" // static dispatch x.length() // dynamic dispatch y = x y.length() Though we need to ponder about this a little through the JSR to check its still valid & doesn't have any holes in it - e.g. the invokeMethod() method as discussed elsewhere in this thread.

San Andreas in GTA V
- For the 3D Universe counterpart, see San Andreas in GTA III Era. For the title in that universe, see Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Southern San Andreas
Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto Online
|Southern San Andreas
The State of San Andreas is a fictional West Coast state in the United States. The state is based on California and Nevada. Only the southern half of the state is present in the events of Grand Theft Auto V.
The only area of San Andreas that is playable in GTA V is Los Santos and Blaine County. However, this area is obviously not representative of all the state. Though the map in GTA V is an island, the map is simply designed that way in order to keep the feeling of freedom for the player. In theory, Los Santos and Blaine County may very well be connected with other fictional areas of the state, but simply do not appear.
The small portion of San Andreas in GTA V features a number of mountain ranges, farms, deserts, woodlands, lakes, parks, towns, and a major city (Los Santos). The capital of San Andreas is unknown, but it may be based on Sacramento.
List of Cities, Towns, and Counties
Southern San Andreas
Mentioned areas
- San Fierro
- Las Venturas (seen briefly on one of GTA IV's TV programs)
- Red County (mentioned in GTA IV, so it likely exists in the HD Universe)
- The state flag of San Andreas is identical to that of California, with the exception of a beaver replacing a bear and the flag being colored blue rather than red.
- It is possible that Las Venturas and San Fierro will be the main featured areas in Northern San Andreas.
See Also
- San Andreas in GTA III Era - the rendition of the same state in the GTA III era.
- San Andreas in GTA 1 - a city directly based on San Francisco in GTA 1.

I'm a self taught naturalist, splitting my time between Tucson and Portal Arizona. I've really gotten to know my natural neighbors in the last 12 years. Eyes wide open, I see something new in the natural world every day. I served as a Docent at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum for 8 years and a Raptor Handler in the Raptor Free Flight Program for 4 years. The Desert Museum is among the world's finest Natural History Musuems, Botanical Gardens and Zoos, all in one! A must see if you're ever in southeast Arizona. With my husband Bud, we try to hike, walk, play music or just sit and watch nature every day. The primary goal being to see something new or different every day and with very little effort, it's easy to do.

Well hello there. My name is Amalia.
I'm a visual artist and self taught doll maker, an art devotee and craft enthusiast to the bones. I work from the comfort of my own home ever since I had my daughter in 2003 and nine years later (with two boys added under my wings), I can't imagine having it any other way! When I was little, I found true love in fairy tales and grew up in a whimsical world, the two things that inspire my art the most. I love the simplest things in life and if I had my way, I would spend hours sitting under a tree just dreaming my day away with a sketchbook and a pencil in hand.
I started this blog at a period of my life when everything seemed to be going downhill, and I'm happy to say that it's probably one of the best decisions I've ever made in my entire life. This blog has become a special space for me. A space where I gained friendships, faith and hope. Here you will find snippets into my life, work, inspirations and passion for art. So if you love art as much as I do, I know you will find a tiny haven here with me.
Welcome to my happy place!

As you can only fire 5 per floor, perhaps have a limit of models per floor like 15-20? Seems a bit odd that it's limitless but I'm not going to complain, I intend to put my 50 rangers in there

IMP Productions, the entity that owns the 9:30 Club, presents another area show for Emeli Sandé, the incredible Scottish soul singer/songwriter who dazzled as one of this year's Capital Pride headliners. Sandé will hit the grand Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, home to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, on October 19 as part of a fall tour through the U.S. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Aug. 9, at 10 a.m.
In addition to Capital Pride, earlier this year Sandé performed at the White House for a PBS-aired ceremony honoring Carole King with the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize. Her version of King's "Natural Woman" is really quite moving, right up there with her renderings of more current pop songs you might have heard, be it the jazzy orchestral take on Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" as featured on the sophisticated The Great Gatsby Soundtrack, or even more her exquisitely dramatic cover of Coldplay's "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall," performed for a Dutch radio station. Songs just have a way of becoming that much more powerful after Sandé gets hold of them.
Of course that's also true of the songs she's written herself, including her most recent single, the ballad "My Kind of Love." The sweet video to the song shows her serving as primary caretaker to an ailing, hospitalized best friend. "My Kind of Love" stems from Sandé's Our Version of Events, which won the 2013 Brit Award as British Album of the Year. At a January concert at the Howard Theatre Sandé brought down the house rifling through songs from that strong debut, captivating the crowd with her supple voice, her stirring tunes and her incredible charm and charisma — not to mention her slightly eccentric look. Expect her show at Meyerhoff to be every bit as stunning. She's also likely to preview new songs from her in-the-works second album, tentatively set for release next summer.
And you can bet plenty of gays will be on hand, just as they were at the Howard Theatre months before Pride turned on even more in the community. "It's always been the gay community that really connects first," Sandé told Metro Weekly before the Howard gig. "I have a big gay fan base, which I think is fantastic."
Tickets on sale Friday, Aug. 9, at 10 a.m., for show Saturday, Oct. 19. Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, 1212 Cathedral St., Baltimore. Tickets are $29.60 to $40. For more information, visit the 9:30 Club's website.

The citizens of Bremen say: "Een beten veel un een beten good." This is a typical saying which means: "Eat a lot and eat well".
The diversity of landscape of Lower Saxony is one of its strengths: a lake stone cast from the beautiful Weserbergland Mountain lies in the dark forests of the Harz Mountain.
The Federal Republic of Germany is the main industrial country situated in Central Europe that represents a union of 16 federal states. It is the 7th country in Europe by size, occupying an area of 356 970 km2 and having a population of approx. 82 million.
Its landscape varies from the northern low, flat shores of the North and Baltic Seas, over the central part with picturesque hills and river valleys, to the snow-covered Alps in the south.
Different factors have played a role in determining local specialties of a particular region or state, such as the fruits of the soil and the level of prosperity. The influences of cuisines of the neighboring countries are also recognizable: Czech and Austrian cuisines have influenced the Bavarian cuisine, while the influence of the Scandinavian countries and Great Britain is noticeable in the north of the country.
The main ingredients found in all German states, from the shores of the North and Baltic Seas to the bottom of the Alps in the south, are basically the same, so that the differences rest on details. In that way, each federal state has its own historical, cultural and culinary identity.
Saxony -Anhalt
Niedersachsen (Donja Saska)
There's a good reason why Thuringen is not only known as the region of boiled dumplings, cakes and sautéed sausages, but also as the green heart of Germany. In the Thuringen basin, on a land rich in limestone, people grow wheat, turnip and sugar beet, while the highly praised barley used for the production of beer is grown at the feet of the mountains. Vegetables are grown around the regional center, Erfurt, and also on the western edge of the Thuringen basin. Cauliflower, cabbage, broad beans, onions and cucumbers are grown in east Thuringen.
Many important people have stayed here and left their marks in the development of this area. Martin Luther translated the New Testament on the Wartburg Mountain near Eisenach. Hegel, Fichte and Schelling founded the University of Jena. Bach composed his music in Weimar, a city that became the centre of German classicism in the 18th century, in the time of Goethe and Schiller. Weimar has also had a great influence on the culinary habits. It is said that Napoleon's troops took with them the recipe for the Weimar Pie, a pie made from onions that has later transformed into the widely known Quiche Lorraine.
Leipzig, the old city of fairs, universities and the publishing activity, is the business center of Saxony, however the most representative city of this state is definitely Dresden. Gradually the main city of the region, completely destroyed in bombings during the 2nd World War, has transformed into a city described as Baroque Florence on the Elbe River. The Zwinger (baroque complex of pavilions) and the Semperoper (opera house) were rebuilt, and the Frauenkirche was restored. At the beginning of the 18th century, August Silni turned the city into a European art and cultural center. J. S. Bach worked in Leipzig as choir director. The Concert Hall Orchestra was founded in 1743.
The customs and cuisine are marked by the tradition of the Luzice Serbs, whereas the influence of the Czech cuisine in the area of the Zittlau Mountains in Lower Silesia is unquestionable. As far as food is concerned, Saxony is a synonym for Dresden Stollen (type of cake), Leipziger Allerlei (mixed vegetables), coffee and an abundance of sweet cakes and pastry. To get rid of the sugar these sweet delicacies are so rich in, there is the "Leipzig pepper grinder", a lively cabaret, a good old tradition of Leipzig that spices up the political scene.
A young political region with rich historical heritage and legends. Kings, artists and thinkers have shaped the entire nation. In 919 the Saxon ruler Heinrich was crowned King of Germany in Quedlingburg. Later in the 10th century, under the reign of Otto I, Magdeburg grew into one of the largest Christian cities in the world, while the great theological reformer, Martin Luther, shocked the entire world with his 95 theses which he nailed onto the Wittenberg Church door. Saxony-Anhalt was also the host to numerous writers and musicians known outside Germany, such as Goethe, Heine, Fontane, Telemann, Bach, Händel and Schutz. Regardless of the differences between the inhabitants, the best way to wake up the feeling of belonging is to satisfy the palate.
The people of Saxony-Anhalt are united by their pride and fruits of the soil: sugar and grains from the fertile fields surrounding Magdeburg, Bord, onions from Calba, asparagus and milk from Altmark, apricots, wine and Champaign from the Saale-Unstrut region or cheeses from the Harz Mountains. To restore the value of the regional food, creative kitchen chefs are doing their best to restore old recipes as the foundation for making nutritious and healthy dishes.
With its glorious avenues, historical buildings and large park spaces, Berlin is a beautiful city, and also the capital of Germany. What the visitors will soon note about the citizens of Berlin is that they enjoy small snacks between meals because, as Kurt Tucholsky nicely put it, the people of Berlin have no time. Berlin cuisine is simple and healthy: a solid, meager feast that reveals the influences of various cuisines that have been brought throughout centuries by various groups of immigrants. Berlin has been a sanctuary for victims of religious prosecution for centuries: 50 Jew families came from Vienna in 1671 and 1 000 French Huguenots after 1685. Their salads, diverse vegetables, sausages and fricasee recipes have forever enriched the urban cuisine.
When the German Empire was founded in 1871, the capital of Prussia became the capital of Germany. The speed at which the urban industry was developing at the time attracted people from various parts of the country, especially from Pomerania and Silesia. Urban cultural life bloomed in 1920s. Berlin developed in an avant-guard mecca, a legendary gathering place of artists and intellectuals. This period ended with the 2nd World War, after which the city was divided by the Berlin Wall, closing off the east and the west parts of Berlin. With the destruction of the Berlin Wall and the unification of West and East Germany, a new chapter in history began.
Numerous pine forests and large lakes, roads surrounded by trees and villages with traditional houses are the predominant landscape scenes of this flat, rarely inhabited region. Although the official statistics say that there are 86 people per 1 km2, Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg, has a population of only 137 000. Brandenburg used to be the centre of Prussia. Potsdam was its most important military city. Its distinctive cultural feature is the Sanssouci Palace, built by Friedrich II. Other important sights include the gardens near Cottbus, designed by Count Puckler-Muskau, and the idyllic city of Rheinsberg.
The boundaries of Brandenburg have changed throughout history: in 1815 Altmark went to Saxony, and after the 2nd World War most of the east territory of Brandenburg near the Odra and Nisa Rivers went to Poland. In spite of this fact, the people of Brandenburg have preserved their identity. They would not be annexed to Berlin in 1996 at any cost. Nevertheless, the cuisines of Berlin and Brandenburg have lot in common. The regions surrounding Berlin supply the city with fish, game, fruit and vegetables. Quark, cottage cheese with flax oil and potatoes is one of the authentic specialties of the region, while the turnip from Teltow, pickled cucumbers form Spreewald and asparagus from Beelitz are well-known outside their regional boundaries.
Even today, many centuries and two political systems after, the landscape of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern reflects a feeling of natural peace and serenity. Its lakes and rivers, the Baltic coast, sea coves and the Haff freshwater lagoons on the border with Poland, make 10% of the entire territory of this region. The fertile land is cultivated by 4000 farmers. Grains, potatoes, rooty vegetables and cattle feed are grown on 1.5 million hectares of fertile land. Mecklenburg, with its thousand-year-old history, became a large county in 1815. On the other hand, Vorpommern had been part of the Prussian territory before it was annexed to Germany.
For centuries these two regions have been known for their contrasts. The Baltic coast with the Rugen and Hiddensee Islands attracted poets and painters; the citizens of Wismar, Rostock, Stralsund, Greifswald, Demmin and Anklam developed trade relations with the Scandinavian countries. For a long period of time, parts of the region were under the Swedish rule that historically influenced the region's cuisine as well. A distinct feature of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern cuisine are sweet-sour tastes. Generally speaking, the cuisine of the region could simply be characterized as nutritious and practical.
This state, that lies between two seas, was politically unified as recently as in 1946. Before that time, the history of the region had been confusing, characterized by wars, voluntary divisions and foreign domination. The region was under the Danish rule for a long period of time. It was later inherited by the Prussians, even Austria and the city of Hamburg. Many cities, such as Lubeck and Flensburg, profited from these political conflicts, leaving the country however poor, with agriculture and fishing as the main activities ensuring sustenance.
This, of course, had an influence on the region's cuisine as well. The ingredients served on the table were mostly local. The meals were rich and served in large quantities - goulash, ham, large dumplings and all kinds of fish. In ancient times, people needed a lot of energy because of the harsh climate and hard labor in open air. Although todays cuisine also depends on the land, just like it does in other areas, the intake of fat has been reduced, and the dishes have become lighter.
Despite the fact that it is a port, Hamburg is not situated by the sea. The Elbe River, on which the city lies, runs along a stretch of more than 100 km before forming a delta. The city has more than 1.6 million inhabitants and is one of the historical trade cities. It has a small lake in the centre, enclosed internal watercourses, Alster Lakes and more channels than Venice. Historically speaking, its connections with the Baltic and the North Sea are of great importance for ensuring a dynamic communication with the world. Hamburg's merchants established significant contacts with London, the leading world trade centre, so that, in the early days of colonization, Hamburg was in the position, more than any other German city, to enjoy the world's food resources. The sailing ships of the East India Company used to bring spices, tea, coffee and tobacco, as well as information about distant countries and recipes. The people of Hamburg like to enjoy the taste of food, so that, when food and drink are in question, money is no object. "In Hamburg one can eat in the English, French or German style."
The citizens of Bremen say: "Een beten veel un een beten good." This is a typical saying which means: "Eat a lot and eat well" - which shows just how the quantity of food and drink is important to them. This is a kind of paradox though, since the people of Bremen are known as quite economical people. One way or the other, the tables are always rich, whether for a special occasion like the Schaffermahl, a family celebration or a simple meal regardless of the time of day. Bremen is a city of sailors and merchants, open to the world and its long history: it has been the centre of the diocese since 787. In 1947 Bremen and Bremerhaven formed the German state.
The closeness of the sea has resulted in the love for fish, and the close connection with the surrounding nature has developed an affinity towards a rustic feast. Trading activities ensured contacts with the wide world and readiness to try new, excellent and exotic food. As opposed to their lavishness as far as food was concerned, the councilors and merchants of Bremen were stingy when it came to art. This was a place where barrels with oil were more praised than oils on canvas, and banknotes were worth more than music scores. In spite of that, the citizens of Bremen are pleasant and hospitable, enriching with their manners their rich tables. They still celebrate a good deal with a bottle or two of wine in the restaurant beneath the Rathaus called "Ratskeller". They do not celebrate abundantly - God does not allow that - but enjoying quietly ... in the Bremen style.
The diversity of landscape of Lower Saxony is one of its strengths: a lake stone cast from the beautiful Weserbergland Mountain lies in the dark forests of the Harz Mountain. The lovers of nature will enjoy the Luneberg Heath even when it is not covered by late-summer flowers. Finally, the North Sea and its islands, the destinations of people craving peace and refreshment for over 200 years, have a special, simple charm. The most amazing are the houses with wooden frames filled with brick, not only those found in Einbeck, the city of beer, and Celle. Many villages still have a special charm about them with their picturesque straw roofs. Churches and houses built by more wealthy people were often real works of art made of dark-red bricks.
Traditional specialties of the region between the Ems and Elbe Rivers are simple and rich: kale with Pinkel sausage, Harzer cheese and sausages from the Brunswich region. Specialties like these match with their regional authenticity the character of the local national anthem in which people of this country sing of themselves as of "the turbulently fast and solid roots bound to the earth". The newcomers to the region, in which people still use the Lower German dialect and are not very sociable, often complain about the stubborn nature of the locals. On the other hand, they must admit that, once the trust of the locals is earned, it is permanent and does not rest solely on drinking brandy, a drink enjoyed throughout Saxony, together.
Nordrhein-Westfalen is a region created on the basis of a decision of the occupation forces, but there are, however, close historical connections between these two regions. The landscapes are the same, although the Westfallen region has higher mountains. Sauerland is situated in the south of the region. Small towns with their own characters are lined up along the Weser River with the beautiful Munsterland Castle. Still, the main regional attraction is the architecture of its urban areas, created in the time of the Romans and represented by the architectonic glory of the Cologne Cathedral and a church with a monastery in Aachen. The lively Rurh region is the most important part of Nordrhein-Westfalen.
The customs related to food are also the subject of inter-regional distrust since the regions are generally very similar, however not so when it comes to food. The inhabitants of the Nordrhein region often put down the inhabitants of the Westfalen region because of the rich nature of their feasts, whereas the people of Westfalen criticize the people of Nordrhein because of their accent on sweet&sour combinations. Maybe there is some truth in their prejudices. The top-quality fermented Rhein beer is very popular, a proof of simple life. The Westfalen farmers stress that their cuisine is natural because it rests on the locally-grown domestic animals and grains, while the citizens of Nordrhein let themselves fall under external influences.
The people of northern Hessen are, historically speaking, used to poorly fertile soil and poverty, and have not very much in common with the people of southern Hessen, spoiled by the sun and the rich Rhein valley. This difference is, of course, reflected in the cuisines of these regions as well. While the northerners tried to make the best of their potatoes, the southerners followed the trends brought by the merchants passing through the region. Therefore, one needs not be surprised to find out that the two specialties that Hessen put on its culinary map are the green sauce and Frankfurt sausages. The cuisine was largely influenced by Frankfurt, a rich metropolis, and by Wiesbaden, a city where the Roman thermal baths used to be and that became the capital of Hessen. Its influence is continuously spreading towards the south. The northerners are not very talkative; the stereotype of "garrulous citizens of Hessen" refers to the southerners. Rich in forests, Hessen is surrounded by fertile vineyards in the west, and fascinating moors in the east. This is a country that offers a feast for the eyes, as well as a feast for the palate.
Metaphorically speaking, two hundred years of good-living are reflected in the wine glasses and cooking pots of the region of central Rhein River and its confluences. The region has been under the invasions of numerous war troops from the time of Caesar onward, and almost all occupation forces have left the traces of their countries of origin behind them, including numerous culinary specialties. The most important mark left by the Romans is the vine-growing tradition on the shores of Rosel. In the Middle Ages, other cities and towns such as Speyer, Worms and Kaiserslautern grew, were becoming historically significant places, while the Rheinland region between Bingen and Koblenz, with its castles and churches, reached a status of a cultural center.
In the 19th century famine occurred, and those that did not emigrate lived on bread and potatoes. However, necessity is the mother of innovation, so that many potato recipes originate from that period. During the decades when locals had very little food to live on, the Rheinland region became a summer destination for English and Prussian tourists, attracted by the romantic tradition of the Rhein region. In the 20th century, however, the historical connections and common folk customs of the state's geographical regions, namely Westerwald, Eifel, Hunsruck, Rhinhessen and Palatinate, were joined to form a cultural and culinary identity.
Strings of cultivated fields and industrial plants characterize the hilly landscape of Saarland on the border with France, where the coal mines and metallurgy were very significant during the 19th century. Whether living in coal mine environments or agricultural settlements, the workers grew their own fruit and vegetables. Potato was the main foodstuff on the daily menu and is still a very important element of present-day cuisine of the Saarland region. There is one more product that is equally simple and known far outside its regional borders: the Lyon sausage. The natural beauties such as, for example, the Saar Oxbow River near Mettlach, and a large number of industrial monuments belong to the region's cultural heritage, just like the churches, castles and palaces. One of such castles is theAlte Volklinger Hutte, an old foundry proclaimed by UNESCO a part of the world's cultural heritage in 1994 and as visited as the Late Baroque church in Saarbruchen, the capital of Saarland. Saarland is the youngest of all the federal states, established in 1959, and the regional relations with the neighboring France have influenced its cuisine in that it has acquired the lightness and freshness of French cuisine.
"The food is sweet and there are plenty good things there,", said Goethe in his work called Reineke Fuchs. "Plenty of good things " really do mark this region surrounded by the Rhein, Neckar, Danube and Lech Rivers. These rivers characterize both Wurtemberg and Baden, as well as the food these regions produce: fruit and vegetables from the area surrounding Lake Constance, domestic animals from the rich valley of the Hohenlohe region, cabbage from the fields near Stuttgart, juicy asparagus from Schwertzingen situated in the north of Baden, as well as the ham and cherry brandy from Schwarzwald.
Solid, complete meals dominate the cuisines of both regions of Baden-Wurtemberg, although Baden is known for greater sophistication and finesse, which is probably a result of the influence of their French neighbors. They have a lot in common, and not only in the domain of food and drink. For centuries, the history of Baden-Wurtemberg was problematic and painful. Only a small number of people profited from the rich land secured by the Kingdom of Wurtemberg and the Duke of Baden. The poor could not live from the beauty of the landscape in the idyllic valley of the Neckar River or the Markgrafler Land called by Johann Peter Hebbel a "small garden of eden". In spite of these historical events, the citizens of Baden are people who enjoy life. One way or the other, all of them can work hard and, above all, practically. As a result of that, together they have built something that no one could have predicted: the German model of a federal state, being not only the first among the states in terms of industrial export, but also in the number of star-classified restaurants.
The well-known "Hofbräuhaus" (a beerhouse), Munich Oktoberfest, Lederhosen, 1l beer mugs, romantic, fairytale castles, Baroque glitter in the background of the impressive Alps create a typical image of Bavaria. In fact, this image has become a synonym for international popularity of Germany as a whole. Of course, there is some truth in this image: enjoyment of a pleasant life, deeply rooted feeling of tradition and simple piety are what characterizes the people of Bavaria, the pride of all inhabitants of Germany. This ideal image is far from reality, however, especially in the geographical sense.
The largest state in the Federal Republic of Germany includes Lower and Upper Bavaria, as well as Lower, Central and Upper Franken and Schwaben. "Munich is a shining light", wrote Thomas Mann, but it is not the only star in the starry Bavarian sky. The state is also proud to have Passau, Augsburg, Regensburg, Nurnberg, Wurzburg and Wagner's city, Bayreuth, to name only a few centers that have a history and culture behind them. Bavarian cuisine is rich as is its landscape and its world-famous beer. Bavarian specialties include: roast pork, roughly-cut meat loaf known as the Leberkäse (literally "liver cheese") and Weisswurst, "white sausage" made from veal.

THE WAR Memorial in Barnoldswick could be moved to the town's Memorial Gardens as part of a refurbishment.
Discussions have taken place between town councillors and Pendle Council over relocating the memorial, currently in Wellhouse Road, to the gardens, which are undergoing a refurbishment as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The costs of moving the memorial have been estimated at £20,000, and councillors said discussions were still taking place over whether to press ahead with the move.
Coun David Whipp said: "The town council had a three day consultation last week and the responses, of which there were a few hundred, are still being analysed.
"Having listened to people at that consultation it is clear that there are pros and cons, some people very much support the plan, others think it is fine where it is."
The Memorial Gardens were originally created in memory of those killed in the Second World War, and it was suggested to the town council that the War Memorial would be a fitting centrepiece for the renovation taking place this spring.
Coun Whipp said: "The plus points are that Memorial Gardens provide a lot more space and at the current location it is very difficult to accommodate everybody on Remembrance Sunday.
"The Memorial Gardens has also lost its role, it is not used on Remembrance Sunday, but having the memorial there gives the gardens a purpose for the future.
"The downsides are that it would not be quite as central as it is at the moment, and we have to consider the cost of moving it as well, although there could be the opportunity to get some charitable funding towards the cost."
The town council will further consider moving the memorial at their next meeting on Wednesday.

Whether historical or recreational, Union County offers Trail of Tears enthusiasts many ways to connect with the past and relax in the present. Union County Illinois is home to a large section of the Trail of Tears as it passed through Illinois. There are several historic sites associated the journey made by thousands of Cherokee as they passed through Illinois in the winter of 1838 to 1839 as a result of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. There are also monuments and parks named for the event and stories handed down from generation to generation. It seems nearly every time you travel through the area, you discover some overlooked marker or point of interest you missed before. Whether the sites have been certified as part of the original trail or they simply remain in their natural and relatively unchanged state, each gives visitors a glimpse of what life on the trail might have been like.
Campground Road Cemetery, just west of Interstate 57 off of Illinois Route 146, is on Campground Road. A short drive of a mile or so will bring you to Camp Ground Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the adjoining cemetery. The congregation has been here for more than 160 years, though the current sanctuary is over 100 years old. There are no Trail of Tears signs on Route 146 pointing the way to this spot but once you reach the church, you will see markers indicating the next three miles of the road are part of the original trail. The cemetery has been used since 1836. More than 6000 Cherokee camped at this site and some are buried in unmarked graves.
McGinnis Cemetery Trail Segment is six miles east of Anna near the small community of Mt. Pleasant. The cemetery sits just north of Illinois Route 146 and has a large memorial dedicated to the trail of tears. It is listed on the Trail of Tears list of registered sites, as is the Campground Road Cemetery. Other sites exist but are on private lands and not generally open to the public.
The Trail of Tears Lodge and Resort sits on 425 acres of privately owned land in Jonesboro near the Shawnee National Forest. While the lodge has no known significance related to the Cherokees who passed through the area, it is an interesting place to visit. The resort also operates a restaurant and hosts many special events throughout the year such as Morel Festival, Hummingbird Fete and Mud Racing.
The Trail of Tears State Forest sits five miles northwest of Jonesboro on more than 5000 acres. The Cherokee passed four miles south of its southernmost edge but the forest was named to commemorate their journey and sacrifice. Hiking horseback riding, camping and hunting are offered in the park that contains some of the roughest terrain in the state.

A photographic essay, images from a visit to South Africa in winter 2009. Sorties into Kruger, Cape Town, Soweto, a bit of wine tasting and the Lions' tour of South Africa restrict the focus somewhat!!
Working with images is part of my professional life, and viewing the world through a camera lens has always been an integral part of my life, since school. I Graduated from Box Brownie, via home conversion of Voigtlander plate camera to an enlarger, multiple SLR cameras with supplementary lenses, and now I have succumbed to high resolution, low light capability compact Fuji and a Canon G10. Cambodia, France, Iran, trout and whitebait fishing, mountains, golf and family are all passions.

NEWARK, N.J. -- When Nashville Predators general manager David Poile found out he had the fourth pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, he was excited because he felt there were four great players in this class.
When it came time to make his pick Sunday at Prudential Center, Poile was ecstatic.
Three players were selected before it was Poile's turn, but he still ended up with the player who was No. 1 on Nashville's draft board, and defenseman Seth Jones landing with the Predators was the first surprising twist of draft day.
"I wish I wouldn't have to say, 'I can't believe the player was there,' but we had Seth Jones rated No. 1. We think he is just a terrific player," Poile said. "This is a franchise-type player. ... Seth Jones to us has been the best player, but we'll see. We all know how it goes with the draft and we won't know for several years, but this feels real good."
Jones was the consensus top-ranked player in this draft class after leading the United States to a gold medal at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship in January, and, until recently, was considered a co-contender for the No. 1 spot with Halifax Mooseheads center Nathan MacKinnon.

During President Obama's first term, the debt increased by $5.8 trillion, which exceeds the combined debt accumulated under all presidents from Washington through Clinton. This equaled approximately $50,521 per household. Americans age 16 or older who decided not to work or even to seek a job increased by 8.3 million to a record 88.8 million in Obama's first term, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
During Obama's first term, the number of Americans collecting federal disability insurance increased by 1.2 million to a record 8.8 million. As a result, there is now one person collecting disability for every 13 people working full-time.
The Social Security Administration released data revealing that 8.7 million American workers were collecting federal disability insurance payments in September. That sets a record for the number of Americans on disability. This is a four-fold increase in 45 years, with 65 Americans working for each individual collecting disability.
Finally, there is no month during Obama's term when the federal work force was smaller than it was in the first month of his presidency. The president took over in January 2009. Every month after January 2009 has seen more federal workers than were employed in January 2009.

After an Olympic break that saw captain Sidney Crosby and his linemate Chris Kunitz win gold medals, the Pittsburgh Penguins returned to NHL action Thursday; falling to the Montreal Canadiens in a shootout.
Absent from the ice for the Pens, was star defenseman Kris Letang; as the 26-year-old has yet to play since suffering a stroke in late January.
"The day before, I was totally fine. I was practicing and I woke up that morning not expecting that to happen and it happened like this," said Letang. "My family is really worried. That was a difficult part. When you see your mom crying or your wife or any of my family members, it's always a tough thing to handle."
On the path to recovery, Letang has begun to do some light workouts, but the process is without question, a gradual one.
"I have some good days, some bad days [physically]," he said. "I think the most difficult thing is around family, everybody is really careful. I can't even lift their luggage without having them try to help me out."
Letang meets with his doctors twice a week, who tell him that because he had the stroke at such a young age, there is a very good chance he will make a full recovery. He may even play again this season.
"I've been focusing on just talking to my doctors and going to rehab," said Letang. "It's kind of reassuring that I will play again."

So what you guys think about it? Was thinking of playing it a bit but cant get a Founder's Referral :P
02-05-2009, 06:55
I tried the beta for it when it was first released a while back, it seemed a lot like WoW only for LotRO fans, but with less content, less pvp. I wouldn't recommend it unless it's had some major changes since then.
02-05-2009, 07:21
Played the demo - it was alright but there is alot better out there.
If your a big tolkien pve fan its good though.
02-05-2009, 07:29
its a relationship game, couples can play together doing the pve sides very easily. PvP is a joke and basically non existant unless there has been some change which there hasn't.
02-05-2009, 07:30
It is a lot more theme park. I was in beta, it was overall fun, but wasn't exciting enough to keep me playing it. If you are a fan of lord of the rings, or are a story driven player you may like it. I never tried the PVP. I heard it was sub par.
02-05-2009, 09:15
i played lotro until now , and alot changed in the game , its not bad at all pve is good and nice people in it.
pvp was a joke in the start but after some changes it got realy intresting and good better then in many other games tbh.
now they had a expansion they screwed up the pvp.
so darkfall is my hope ^^
02-05-2009, 16:08
So what you guys think about it? Was thinking of playing it a bit but cant get a Founder's Referral :P
If you want one send me a PM with your email. It isn't Founder's Per-Say, but it is $9.99 per month (paid in 3 month installments, so only one payment per three months).
02-05-2009, 16:22
i played it at release to max level its alright but at max level there is very little exciting things to do apart from boring grind.
02-05-2009, 16:30
I played it for a year, got rating 2000 in PvMP with ganking, the carebears whined like hell. Then i lol'd, leveled an alt and got bored.
02-05-2009, 16:53
I wouldn't think LOTRO would fly with a community like darkfalls. They are night and day in terms of game style.
I found the game enjoyable, nothing bad to say about it... but that may be because I didn't expect to be doing any pvp in it, and thus have no opinion about the pvp stuff it has. But as a good RPG adventure you can play with some friends, sure, its fun.
02-05-2009, 18:26
I played it for a year, got rating 2000 in PvMP with ganking, the carebears whined like hell. Then i lol'd, leveled an alt and got bored.
Nothing more satisfying then making carebears cry.

Organic wine importer Natural Merchants proudly presents SOFOS organically grown Greek wines now available nationally in the U.S. market. SOFOS white is a blend of 50% Moschofilero and 50% Chardonnay. Moschofilero is a pink-skinned grape variety and it is one of the main grape varieties of Peloponnese. The resulting wine is light and tasteful, with lemon notes, hints of mint and fresh summer fruits, an elegant crisp acidity combined with a long aftertaste.
SOFOS red is a blend of 50% Agiorgitiko and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. Agiorgitiko is a fragrant black–skinned grape variety native to Nemea of Corinth in Peloponnese. The resulting wine has well balanced acidity and a medium plus body; fragrant of fresh blackcurrant - blackberry fruit, red pepper and hints of black chocolate.
The wines are produced by family-owned and operated Domaine Gioulis SA, situated in the province of Corinth, adjacent to the valley of Nemea on the Peloponnese peninsula. Klimenti adjoins the mountainous vineyards of the Protected Designation of Origin Nemea, and in 1994 was recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture as the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Klimenti. The climate in Klimenti is semi-continental with heavy winters and cool summers, which favors the application of the organic farming. The vineyards are located at about 750 m altitude thus giving the wines a minerality and length that is rare for hot-climate wines.
The family has an unwavering dedication to preserving their Greek heritage in winegrowing. Not only do they grow different autochthonous varieties like Agioritiko and Moschofilero, but the winery's location in the Corinth region gives them the flexibility to blend these autonomous Greek grape varietals with International varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay to achieve the most complex flavors with wide appeal. SRP for both wines is $11.99. Click here to purchase some!

'What FOMC Rally?' Asked Precious Metals
Rod David
The anti-taper's biggest beneficiaries were big losers into the weekend.
The following are the latest daily summaries of my ongoing intraday coverage, providing context to interpret price action. Any prices listed are for a contract's current "front month." Their direction tends to correlate with any ETFs listed for each.
Today's Highlight:
Gold and silver had begun rallying sharply before Wednesday's FOMC announcement. Their rallies extended sharply into the following morning. But no net improvements on Thursday made them vulnerable, and Friday reclaimed almost all of Wednesday's gains.
Dollar Basket
Dec Contract DX; (NYSEARCA:UUP), (NYSEARCA:UDN)
Narrow ranging in slightly positive territory ended the week. No new signal is offered, but closing above Monday's high after probing under Thursday's low would trigger a rally.
Dec Contract EC; (NYSEARCA:FXE)
Friday's narrow ranging offered no new signals, except the "ineffectual optimism" that prevented a deeper, healthier dip that could have refueled buyers to help extend the rally.
Dec Contract GC; (NYSEARCA:GLD)
Thursday failed to extend the FOMC rally, opening the door to a correction back down to 1341.00. It was tested Friday down to 1327.20, and not recovered by the close. Recovering it immediately Monday is probably the only way to resume the rally without first testing 1321.00, whose break would target new lows.
Dec Contract SI; (NYSEARCA:SLV)
Friday's gap down held 22.75 as resistance and extended another dollar lower, testing "lower prior highs" that had preceded the FOMC news. But for probing any lower intraday, Monday should resume the rally to avoid retesting its lows.
30-year Treasury
Dec Contract US; (NYSEARCA:TLT)
Friday morning's test of 131-02 was resolved up to attack 132-00. A second consecutive higher close on Monday would launch a new rally leg. But closing back under 131-02 would still signal a new downleg underway.
Crude Oil
Oct Contract CL; (NYSEARCA:USO)
The reaction down from retesting 108.75 fell back under 105.00 Friday, which is too deep for a rally leg that should have been ready to extend higher This doesn't necessarily turn the pattern bearish, but a close back above 106.75 is the minimum requirement to become bullish.
Natural Gas
Oct Contract NG; (NYSEARCA:UNG), (NYSEARCA:UNL)
Friday's fresh low down to 3.65 did not extend down, but was not recovered back above 3.71. The pattern cannot tolerate much delay past Monday's open to launch a new rally leg.

Good things come in small packages, nutritionally speaking. Why just look at the health benefits of wheat germ; each flake of the germ itself has vitamins, minerals and nutrients bursting with goodness. Wheat germ is easily found in almost every grocery store, just look in the baking aisle. And when you're pregnant, looking to become pregnant or cooking for the family, adding wheat germ to your culinary repertoire is a surefire way to insure excellent health.
What is Wheat Germ?
Wheat germ is made from the germ of the wheat kernel. The germ is what grows into a new wheat plant and is left out of white four when processing wheat. Bran is the outermost portion of the wheat kernel, also left of when heavy processing is used. Endosperm is what white flour is made from and is mainly composed of protein and starch. Whole wheat flour is made from the germ, endosperm and bran.
Wheat germ is available separately to purchase. It's is removed from the wheat kernel and ground down into flakes. No vitamins or minerals are added to it and none are taken from it.
What Nutrients does Wheat Germ contain?
You are going to be stunned when you find out how many nutrients are in wheat germ. 1 cup of wheat germ has 60 grams of carbohydrates BUT more impressively it has 15 grams of dietary fiber, that's 61% of your needed daily dietary fiber. For a nation that desperately needs to eat more whole grains, wheat germ is a no-brainer.
Wheat germ also has an amazing array of the B vitamins needed for cell strength and power; thiamin, riboflavin and niacin, along with B6. All of your B vitamins should be increased during pregnancies due their use in the nervous system and for energy production. Choline, for example, during pregnancy is important for maintaining all the growing cell membranes. In addition to the aforementioned vitamins what makes wheat germ so essential during pregnancy is the amount of folate it contains. There's more than 80% of your daily recommended folate in 1 cup of wheat germ. Folic acid is what is what our food is fortified with; folate is found naturally in foods. Folic acid during pregnancy is essential for avoiding neural tube defects and spinal injuries and naturally found folate is the way to go.
Wheat germ also has an abundance of minerals necessary for optimal human health too. Potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese and selenium are ALL found in wheat germ and in impressive amounts. Potassium helps regulate sodium in the body, phosphorus is found in DNA, RNA and ATP (energy) and calcium which helps muscles contract (like the heart) and creates strong bones. Selenium, a lesser known mineral, is needed for specific amino acid production and is known to function in the thyroid helping maintain a normal hormone balance, protein production, weight maintenance and how quickly the body produces energy. The benefits for wheat germ couldn't get any better.
Or could they?
Wheat germ also has more than 800 micrograms of omega-3 fatty acids, so essential before, during and after pregnancy and for the whole family. Omega-3 fatty acids, like the ones found in fish and fish oil supplements, are used in the body in a number of ways. They improve lipid profiles in general which means they improve HDL, LDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce coronary heart disease, they reduce calcium stones, they decreases inflammation in the body and omega-3 fatty acids improves and reverses insulin resistance.
How Can You Use It?
Wheat germ is SO EASY to use! Seriously, a tablespoon or two every day goes a long way towards better health.
You can bake with wheat germ- substitute ½ to 1 full cup in any recipe and you add a seriously amazing nutty flavor and beautiful texture. You don't have to change the whole recipe to reap the benefits. For example, consider adding it to breads, cookies, cakes, granola or pies. The kids will never know!
Sprinkle a tablespoon- Leave a tablespoon and the wheat germ somewhere easily accessible and sprinkle some on…
- Your morning cereal or oatmeal- It instantly absorbs and you'll feel fiber-full all afternoon.
- Add it to bread crumbs- When breading chicken, pork chops or making meatballs don't forget the wheat germ.
