Message For
Future Suicide Terrorists

This message is for any future suicide terrorists (as opposed to former ones, of which none exist).
I assume that you do what you do for one of two causes. If it is for religious reasons, then surely you must realize that you are not creating a favourable impression towards your religion. If it is for political reasons, then the means negate whatever cause you are trying to put forth. If, however, you blow up only yourselves and not take with you innocent victims, than I can assure you that people will listen to what it is you want the world to know.
When enough of your kind have been blown up, people will start asking themselves -- "who are these persons who have such faith in their cause that they are willing to die? What are they trying to tell us?" Your ideology will receive much more coverage throughout the world. So please, in the future just kill yourselves and leave us a note telling us why you did it. You will see (well not you, but those who remain and who agree with you) that my way is much more productive.

I suspect that if the terrorists blow up enough of our people, then those charged with protecting our people just might include listening to the terrorists' complaints as one of several possible ways of getting the terrorists to stop blowing up our people. Unfortunately, I think the terrorists we're dealing with are more into retaliation than anything else. Also unfortunately, I think those charged with protecting our people tend to enjoy competitive sports and would consider it more fun to engage in various forms of chest-pounding than it would be to listen to the complaints of terrorists, even if doing so could potentially save the lives of their own family members -- and even their own voters! Such is life among the tribes of domesticated primates who dominate this back-woods boondocks of a planet!*

Hello to all customers and people potentially interested in my templates. My big apologies for delay with replies within last 10 days. Application notifying about new comments was not working within 10 days and I was sure there were no new comments. It came back to work just today. I replied all questions and hope my answers are still actual, sorry once again!
I'm interested in purchasing this theme and have a few questions.
Can I change the color (orange/salmony)?
Can I change the background to a static image?
Can I alter the items in the left sidebar? I don't need all those descriptions (member of…).
I'd like to include DJ mixes, instead of song samples. Is there a limit to the size of the audio files?
Hello, thank you for your interest, the answers are
1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes 4. Yes
Thank you for your responses. Happy to hear it's open to customization.
One last concern…
I want this to be a page/link in my current website? Is this set up to be an enhancement to an existing website or will this be the website? If it is an enhancement, are there instructions on how to do that in the theme's instruction manual?
Let me know, and thanks again!
Yes, sure. You can set it as stendalone website or link this page to your main website. It is simple HTML page which you can manipulate as you wish. Best wishes. Tanya
Hi there,
I saved the files in the Template folder to a folder titled "Press Kit" on my server.
I'm a bit of a novice, so pardon my ignorance…
How do I make changes to the playlist? It says it's a jscript script file. Do I use Notepad?
Hey Virtuti,
Disregard my last comment post. I figured out how to make the changes to the file, tried to edit my comment online but it wouldn't let me.
I have a separate question, though.
For the list under the badge, if I have more than one country or website, how do I make the list of the countries or website continue to align to the right, under each other? I've tried a few things and it's not working. I also tried googling it but I'm not finding something that would help (possibly not using the correct terminology in my search).
Thanks again for your help.
I'm loving this press kit. Really nice.
Hello, thank you! Do you mean to align right the whole sitebar (orange, badge, ul)? All the best!
Hi this plugin is for Wordpress or not?
Hello, sorry, have not understood your question. Which plugin, why Wordpress? Thank you, Tanya
Greetings: I would like to have some clarity before i purchase… I noticed you did not include Safari and Firefox for compatible browsers. What does the template lack when viewing on ie7/8, Safari and Firefox?
Thanks in advance
Hello, thank you for your interest. Regrettably automatic ThemeForest form (when we submit templates we tick compatible browsers) offers to choose only old versions of these browsers– FF4 , Safari5. Since current version of FF is 14.0.1 and Safari 5.1.7 there is no sense to tick these versions (I have no idea for example how my templates may look in FF4 ). However, in description I marked all devices I tested the template. That's it, this is the explanation:)))
Thanks for the reply.
Hello, how do you do.
I am a Web developer in Tokyo, Japan. Now I am thinking to use this template for our customer's website. In this case, I need to buy the extended license. Is my understanding correct?
Hello! Not exactly. If you are going to buy it just for one client (one website), regular license is ok. However, if you are going to apply it in multiple websites for numerous clients, then, indeed, extended license is required. Thank you for your interest! Tanya
Really!? It helps us a lot since I would like to test several templates. Thank you Tanya, I will buy one.
Hello, Tanya-san. Now I am trying to customize this template with Dreamweaver. When I open the index file, it always asks if connecting to l.yimg.com.
Do you know what is this script? Is it safe and should I configure it to permit the connection?
Hello! To be honest I merely familiar with Dreamweaver (I work in another IDE ) but I can suppose it asks for connection with your site (you probably created a site (or project) first), so I believe you can press "ok", nothing bad should happen. Try, see what happens.
Thank you for your quick reply. I found a kind of the answer from the sites below.http://www.computing.net/answers/security/spyware-or-what/31852.html
I am just concern it may be from the script of yahoo.
Anyway, I will try and I think it will no harm to the sites.
Hello, virtuti-san.
May I have one question? It is just a question, if you do not know the answer, it is OK.
Now, I am using the template for our product. In that time, I put the short header on the top of the site and trying to make the box-shadow to the div id="wrapper".
In that case, I found it does not work because the height of the wrapper is not as long as the height of div id="right". (It seems the height of wrapper is ignoring the height of right.)
I tried to fix it for many hours but I could not fix it. If you knew how to fix it, please let me know. It would be very helpful.
FYI : clearfix of CSS Hack does not work for this issue.
Thanks Sincerely goros
Hello, yes, naturally, id right is infinite while id left is fixed positioned and takes the height of the screen. There is no need in any clearfix class, cause everything is cleared up via css for both divs (#right and #left). You can try to apply box shadow to #right instead of #wrapper but seriously in order to give a more precise answer I need to try, experiment and modify the template in order to see and achieve the results. Template comes as it is, with dark general background where shadow can not be visible anyway therefore I need to see not only your current modification of a website in whole but to understand an effect you are willing to apply. If you wish you can forward me all material (see description on my profile page) and I shall be glad to spend time and help you. Thank you, Tanya
Hi Tanya-san.
Thank you for your kind reply.
I see.
It is OK so far, because as you mentioned, the background is very dark so I can hide the lack of the shadow for the header part above the right and left I put.
I was just curious if there is a way to modify it easily.
Anyway, I am going to show you when I completed to make it. It is going to be in a couple of weeks since I am trying to use it on WordPress.
Thank you again for your answer. Sincerely Goro
Hello, Tanya-san.
My customized work will be done in a couple of days, I guess.
I have one question. It is about the blueberry.
Do you know if I can automatically centralize the picture if the height and width were less than 320 * 480px?
I tried to some methods like margin auto or display inline, but it didn't work…
Sincerely Goro
Hello Goro, blueberry slide width is set to 100%. Box it is nested in is 480px hence slider is 480px too. You can change the dimensions either of the box or of the blueberry in blueberry.css. You can try to play with blueberry declarations as well, but simplest way is still to find images 480px min-width:)))
Thank you for your kind answer, Tanya-san.
I see. I have tried to change some .css, but I will try it later again. But I will tell about it to my customer at first.
Hello, Tanya-san.
It is still only Japanese version. But we released the product today. We really like your design and hope to buy from you again.https://goros.in/supremacy/h.sugimura/
Thank you. Sincerely Goro
Hello, I would like to contact with you via e-mail for my next business. Is it possible?
I tried to find it in your blog, but I could not find it.
Hello, yes, sure, firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you!
Good afternoon. Before downloading the template wanted to know if it is compatible to create a directory. I'm interested in creating a directory on football where users can upload videos from youtube and then share opinions in the forum. Is this possible? Thank you.
Hello Xavier, thank you for your interest! In general yes, since it is trivial traditional HTML site and you can add/remove anything you want. The only thing is that this very template has no navigation menu (since it is one page and all information is laid out on it) so probably you will need to work on creating a normal menu redirecting from this very page to newly created directory URL. Thank you! Have a nice day! Tanya
Hello:I am trying to add MP3 Traacks for myPlaylist.js file and was wondering if I can delete the lines for oga & wav formats. I have only MP3 tracks. so Can I use this:
var myPlaylist = [
title:'Track Title 1',
artist:'Artist Name',
Hello, thank you! Of course you may, but Opera and Firefox users will not be able to listen to music, therefore fallbacks in various codecs are very desirable.
Ok, Thank you for your prompt answer. I ended up converting the MP3 to ogg & wav formats and added that in the myplaylist.js. BTW, You have typo in your myplaylist.js. file name says "time.ogv".
Fine!, no, there are few file extensions: ogg, ogv, theora.ogv what not:))), ogv is ok:))) but ogg is somehow safer, you made right choice with ogg extension.
I cannot get the video section to work with a youtube video. Please post how to do this as your instruction with the press kit do not work. I can replace the video ID with a vimeo video no problem but trying to insert a youtube video has been a nightmare
Hello, you simply paste YouTube url (from share, embed). The principle is the same like Vimeo or any other platform. You can preview youtube example here: http://demo.virtuti.info/demonstrations/presskit/min/spare.htmlThe code of above example:

Hi Virtuti,
I purchase your presskit and customize it for my use. I have one question. I use the poster block for a few high res. press photo's. They can right click on the big photo for downloading. Everytime I close one everything goes back to the starting point on top of the presskit. So I have to scroll down again etc etc. Can I block that? And if so, how??
Regards Peter
Hello Peter, thank you! You are right, I never noticed this thing till you said me. Let me think what may cause such the behaviour, I think tonight-tomorrow something smart will come onto my mind (I believe it is script related) and I shall write you back. Allow me a couple of days to break the head. Thanks!
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I will wait. One thing left. I can't delete the History in Brief box (don't need it) without changing / delete de music box. Of course I do something wrong but I don't see it.
Regards Peter
Hello Peter, ok, after number of experiments I figured out how to fix it. I thought the problem might be either in z-index or old version of tinybox, in the end, seems the problem is in script positioning. So, I found easy trick to overcome it: simply add anchor point. So, you do next things:
1) add id to class "mainbox" i.e:

 ..........

2) add anchor point "mainboxend" to every image i.e.:

(currently you see

just hash)
This will return clicking big image to the block of posters.
Second question: delete not only markup of History Timeline block but link to script as well (at the bottom of index.html, js/jquery.timelinr-0.9.4.js) and naturally, script itself from "js" folder, if you do not need this block, no sense to bloat the site with unnecessary scripts.
I shall resubmit the template to TF with fixes but it will take them a few days, so if you need it urgently follow my instructions or wait a nd redownload the folder whenTF will reaccept it. Thanks and sorry for inconvenience! Tanya
Everything stay's in tune now. But the problem with deleting the block "history in brief" is not solved yet. Are you sure to delete the script itself from "js" folder?? Because I saw also script in it for the musicplayer. Maybe I misunderstood you?
Regards Peter
Hello Peter, no musicpalyer is musicplayer, timeliner is timeliner, these are two different scripts. You delete only link to timeliner script from index.html

and jquery.timelinr-0.9.4.js from "js"folder. Thanks!
It works. Thanks for your support.
Regards Peter
You are welcome!

After crafting a deal to acquire 19 acres in the Rooney Valley last December, Jeffco officials portrayed the purchase as a routine Open Space buy and kept secret the transaction's role in settling a lawsuit by a group of developers, a Courier investigation shows.
A lawsuit currently pending against the county charges that the machinations contributed to Jeffco's top administrator, Jim Moore, being fired after he voiced objections to the lack of transparency.
I don't know where the month of May went, but it just disappeared with the spring snow.
Now we are well into the month of June and the annual Community Weed Day is this coming Saturday, June 11.
This is a very special day, open to the public and one of the few things that is still free. Community Weed Day is held on Saturday from 8 to 11 a.m. in the park on the Lake House lawn. It is co-sponsored by Evergreen Audubon, the local Mount Evans chapter of the Sierra Club, the Evergreen Garden Club, and the Evergreen Park and Recreation District.
The new government in Great Britain is wasting no time getting down to business. Shortly after taking power, the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition announced spending cuts totaling about $8.2 billion. According to The Economist, "this is a small first step on a long journey."
GREELEY — There are a number of things that Grace Beaudin could remember from playing in her last high school sporting event ever. But the Evergreen senior will remember one thing more than anything else.
GREELEY — Evergreen High School senior Kate Oakes had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when she played volleyball at the Colorado High School Coaches Association All-State Games.
The Alpine Rescue Team of Evergreen is one of five Colorado search and rescue teams that won a Valor Award from a national association, for saving the life of a man with a broken leg near the top of 14,201-foot Crestone Needle, one of the most dangerous peaks in Colorado.
The peak is 56 miles southwest of Pueblo, or about a five-hour drive from Evergreen.
"People die on it every year. It's very steep," said Paul "Woody" Woodward, who was on the rescue mission July 27-28, 2009, along with eight other members of the Alpine Rescue Team.
The hail that ripped into Evergreen last Friday was pea-sized and slushy, for the most part. But in some areas the precipitation was pebble-sized and icy, generating dozens of calls to insurance agents about dented cars, chipped window frames, battered decks, broken skylights and pockmarked siding.
The damage in Evergreen was moderate, considering the amount of hail that came down. The extent of the roof damage is hard to evaluate until the adjusters get a chance to inspect the aftermath, insurance agents said.
Health provider Kaiser Permanente of Colorado says it will open its new medical office in Evergreen in an office complex that houses U.S. Bank and Nick's Pro Fitness at 2942 Evergreen Parkway.
The space will have 4,900 square feet on the first floor and will open in the fall. Kaiser first announced its intention to move into the Evergreen market in February.
The new office will focus on primary care services, including internal medicine and family practice. There will be two physicians at first, with room for a third in the future.
In his native Myanmar, So Reh had two serious strikes against him.
The first was the current regime's iron-fisted attempts to coerce social harmony within its troubled borders. As a practicing Christian, the married father of four was effectively disqualified from all but the lowest-paying jobs, forcing him to choose between abandoning his pacifist beliefs for military service, or letting his family go hungry.
Bloodbath. Melee. Destruction.
That's the description that Evergreen Garden Club president Tina Kellogg gave to the damage wrought on area gardens by the hailstorm that passed through Evergreen on June 11.
The destructive hail, which fell inches deep in some areas and brought snowplows out to clear the roads, caused so much damage that the club has decided to cancel its 11th biennial garden tour, scheduled for June 26.

It is University policy to comply with Washington State law governing the reemployment of Department of Retirement System (DRS) retirees, and to require that all DRS retirees seeking UW employment follow the normal job application and referral procedures.
It is a violation of state law and UW policy for there to be any pre-retirement oral or written agreement between a Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) plan member (PERS, TRS, SERS, LEOFF, or WSPRS) and an employer for employment into a UW position. Violation of the law results in nullification of the individual's retirement. Criminal and monetary penalties may also apply.
State law limits the number of hours a retiree who is rehired into a position covered by a DRS plan ("DRS-plan retiree") can work for a state agency or higher education institution. These limits are specific to the retirement plan from which the retiree is receiving an income.
All PERS and TRS retirees are limited to 867 hours of employment per calendar year without loss of pension benefits. Retirees of other DRS retirement plans (LEOFF, SERS, WSPRS, etc.) should contact DRS directly to ensure they are familiar with any limitations on their employment.
You are solely responsible for determining whether or not you wish to continue working once the annual limit is reached. As such, we strongly encourage you to monitor your hours worked against allowed limits. If you have questions about limits, contact the DRS directly at 1-800-547-6657 (or 1-866-377-8895 for the hearing impaired).
Employed retirees are subject to the normal UW employment processes with no additional approvals or authorizations required. By law, retirees are required to notify their employer during the employment process that they are retired from a State of Washington retirement plan.
DRS plan retirees may be appointed to hourly/temporary positions by following the normal temporary employment process.
DRS Publications: Thinking About Working After Retirement?
ESHB 1981 (Chapter 47, Laws of 2011)
This page explains retiree reemployment requirements, however by state law there are no guarantees of post-retirement employment at the UW. This information is provided for your benefit and to assist you in understanding the rules that apply to the reemployment of DRS plan retirees. If there is any discrepancy between this information and the current DRS rules, the DRS rules will prevail.

If you want to snowshoe in a scenic area in Colorado, visit Estes Park's Hallowell Trail and Mill Creek basin. Being the place where the Civilian Conservation Corps hired young, single men to engage in "ranger work", from 1933-42, the nature scene and trails are well-preserved.
The Hallowell Trail starts near brown and green trees whose strong color makes them stand out from the background. Behind them, are the snowy hills in front of you, to the right and left of you. The sight is panoramic, showcasing the snowy hills stretching across the wide open space with smaller bushes sticking out from the ground in front of the hills.
As you progress on the trail, you will notice that trees and giant rocks marked by snow patches exist side-by-side. Eventually, you will cross a small bridge into the forested area. Numerous tall, thin Aspens stand to your right and your left, like silent guardians of you or nature. You are alone in the deep quiet of the forest, breathing in the outdoors. The only things that could be heard, if not animals, are the Aspens creaking as they sway in the wind.
As you see the trees up close, and the hills and valleys nestled in snow, and notice the many Aspens surrounding you, that part of the trail will feel cozy--like a living room--yet, its outdoors. That feeling reminds one that nature is our true home.
Driving away from the trail leads you back into town where there are many shops. Some, like Outdoor World, sell snowshoeing and other activity gear. Another store, Twisted Pine Fur and Leather sells buckskin suede coats, Indian-styled rugs and Navajo blankets. The town is "small-ish", yet eye-catching because of it's shape and appearance. You will have fun in Estes Park.

A new species of metal-eating plant has been discovered in the Philippines, and the plant loves to eat nickel. According to a new study, "Rinorea niccolifera (Violaceae), a new, nickel-hyperaccumulating species from Luzon Island, Philippines." PhytoKeys 3 37: 1–13. AI (2014). You may wish to check out the study's abstract in PhytoKeys 37 (2014) : 1-13. Authors of the research are Fernando ES, Quimado and MO, Doronila. Rinorea niccolifera accumulates to >18,000 µg g-1 of nickel in its leaf tissues and is thus regarded as a Ni hyperaccumulator, says the study's abstract.
Scientists from the University of the Philippines, Los Baños have discovered a new plant species with an unusual lifestyle — it eats nickel for a living — accumulating up to 18,000 ppm of the metal in its leaves without itself being poisoned, says Professor Edwino Fernando, lead author of the report. Such an amount is a hundred to a thousand times higher than in most other plants. The study was published in the open access journal PhytoKeys, Pensoft Publishers.
The new species is called Rinorea niccolifera, reflecting its ability to absorb nickel in very high amounts. Sounds like an alien mineral-eating plant that consumes metals, especially nickel? The newly found species is rare. In fact, nickel hyperaccumulation is such a rare phenomenon with only about 0.5–1% of plant species native to nickel-rich soils having been recorded to exhibit the ability. Throughout the world, only about 450 species are known with this unusual trait, which is still a small proportion of the estimated 300,000 species of vascular plants, says the May 9, 2014 news release, "New species of metal-eating plant discovered in the Philippines," Pensoft Publishers.
"Hyperacccumulator plants have great potentials for the development of green technologies, for example, 'phytoremediation' and 'phytomining'", explains Dr Augustine Doronila of the School of Chemistry, University of Melbourne, according to the May 9, 2014 news release, "New species of metal-eating plant discovered in the Philippines." Doronila also is co-author of the report.
Phytoremediation refers to the use of hyperacccumulator plants to remove heavy metals in contaminated soils.
Phytomining, on the other hand, is the use of hyperacccumulator plants to grow and harvest in order to recover commercially valuable metals in plant shoots from metal-rich sites. The field surveys and laboratory work of the scientists are part of the research project funded by the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD).
The new species, according to Dr Marilyn Quimado, one of the lead scientists of the research team, was discovered on the western part of Luzon Island in the Philippines, an area known for soils rich in heavy metals.

More civil unrest in Lebanon erupted Wednesday, as a double suicide car bomb exploded in a cultural center, killing more than 10 people. Over 100 people were also injured, some seriously, during this attack that took place during morning rush hour. The United Nations Security Council has voiced strong opposition to this action, on behalf of terrorist sects.
Extensive damage was done to cars and property in the area. The blast was so intense, according to witnesses, that cars were flung into the air and flipped over completely. The front side of buildings near the blast were decimated and people were walking through rubble and glass with stretchers carrying loved ones who didn't survive the blast.
Those believed to be responsible for the suicide bombing are said to belong to the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, from the Hussein Bin Ali terrorist cell. This group is said to be linked to the more popular terrorist network, Al Qaeda. The group is demanding the release of their prisoners are released from being held in Lebanon. They are also demanding the withdrawal of the Party of Iran forces from Syria.
Wednesday's attack is said to have stemmed from disdain over Lebanon's backing of Hezbollah and Tehran. Both groups allegedly have ties to the fighting in nearby Syria. The insertion of the new Lebanese government, including Prime Minister Tammam Salam, is also a factor in this most recent attack.
The district, heavily populated by Shiites, is known for heavy support of Hezbollah. District Leader Hassan Nasrallah has stood steadfast in that support, indicating that he will not give in to demands that Hezbollah withdraws from Syria.
Lebanese leaders are outraged, but unmoved to make any drastic moves on any political front. The bombings do, however, damage the fragile peace that Lebanon has fought hard to protect.

For the past few years the worlds of the comics have been hitting the big screen at a stunning rate and when one of its more beloved stories gets done and done right it is a thing to behold. "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is one of the more inventive reboots to a movie franchise that still keeps the spirit of the original comics while tweaking the story just enough for the big screen.
In a fight for the survival and the future of all mutant kind that spreads across two time periods, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" brings all the generations together as in the near future with mutants on the brink of extinction, the remaining members of the team send Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) into the past to reunite Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) in order to stop Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) setting off a chain of events with Dr. Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) and his Sentinel program from destroying them all.
With Bryan Singer back in the lead chair helming the series once again, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" captures the genuine essence that made these stories so popular during their initial comic book run, as it deals with issues of racism, intolerance and xenophobia to a younger audience in such a way that it never talks down to them and successful instills some positive values to draw on no matter how bad the situation appears to be, while still being a fun, fantasy driven story.
The sharp screenplay from Simon Kinberg sets the stage in a rather neat and tidy fashion as we are quickly thrust into this dystopian future that sees our heroes on the run. The concept of time travel as a narrative device does allow for the occasional easy out, but it rarely takes it as we have to deal with everyone of these characters, both new and old that we are being confronted with. Singer keeps the action moving at a break neck pace, but it is never, ever at the expense of the action and while it tweaks with the original comics from a narrative standpoint, the spirit, message and the energy is always there thanks to the cast that buy into the depth and genuine complexity of this story.
Jackman is our defacto leading man as The Wolverine but he has mastered the swagger of this loner character who has become a leader with such ease that it is always fun to watch. James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart both came in with some fine work as both the yin and the yang of a Professor Xavier at odds with himself and so crucial to the success and survival of all of these characters. Michael Fassbender still carries that anger and charisma that is so crucial to the younger Magneto and Jennifer Lawrence embraces a darker side who can't see past her own hatred. Peter Dinklage is a welcome addition as the menacing scientist hell bent on creating a purity and assisting in the evolution of the human race
The film is overloaded with cameos and key characters that make small appearances as Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Nicolas Hoult, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore and Peter Cudmore all return along with Omar Sy and Evan Peters as Quicksilver jumping in and nearly stealing the show along with a few surprises but it all works. The very nature of this highly emotional tale is supposed to be as chaotic as humanly possible as it draws us in as far as it possibly can.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is quite simply a smart piece of grand scale blockbuster storytelling that will delight the hard core fans and add even more to the ranks of the X-Men Universe. Make sure you stay until the end of the credits as well, because this is simply just the beginning.
4 out of 5 stars.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is now playing at theatres everywhere.

"Literacy is a legacy that can be passed from parent to child. But the barriers associated with low literacy - poverty, unemployment, low self-esteem, school failure - are also handed down from generation to generation. Children whose parents lack basic literacy skills often grow up to face similar challenges, perpetuating a cycle of disadvantage." -National Center for Family Literacy

Sour cream is one of my favorite food additions. I spend a lot of time in the Philippines and to my dismay soon found out that you cannot buy sour cream already made here. I looked everywhere for this delicious creamy condiment and the only place I was able to find it was at Taco Bell. There are only five Taco Bells in the entire country and two of them are in Gateway Mall in Quezon City. This is a 30-45 minute trip for me so I am not going there just to have a Nacho dish with sour cream on it and they will not sell me the sour cream by itself in a large enough quantity to satisfy my craving.
So I decided I would start searching for a way to create this delicatessen myself. Where to start, well, sour "cream" so I decided to by a box of all-purpose cream at the local market. I was too scared to try to let it sour and the instructions I found on the internet were too vague. I remembered a recipe my mom gave me when I was young for pound cake that called for buttermilk. I don't like buttermilk so I never buy it but she told me to just mix a little vinegar with the milk and it would clabber and taste similar to buttermilk and was great for recipes. So I hoped and prayed this would work with my sour cream.
I put about ½ cup of cream in a jar I had and added two tablespoons of white vinegar to the mix. After putting the lid on the jar and giving it a quick shake I opened it and noticed it had gotten a bit thicker and was smelling more like sour cream! Eureka, it was pretty close to what I was looking for! I put the jar in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to let it cool and hopefully to thicken it up a bit more. After checking it with the finger dip test and adding a bit of salt, I discovered I had made a close imitation of sour cream.
That night I made quesadillas in our house and took out my sour cream. My Filipino family tasted it and fell in love. Now we make it at least once a week and I usually add a heaping teaspoon of salsa to the sour cream for a great quesadilla and/or tortilla chip dip. If we don't finish it, my in-laws are quick to ask for the rest and will quickly devour this delectable dish. I hope you too will love this quick imitation of sour cream that works great in recipes as well! We have used it for many things including a wonderful beef stroganoff.
Please Note: If using this with any non-pareve or non-dairy dish, the food is no longer kosher, as this is a dairy based product.

Endurance Runners
» fernanda maciel
Fernanda is Brazilian and Spanish with a fervent love of nature and health. Through her love of sport and looking for a challenge she has travelled widely and now lives in the mountains of the Spanish Pyrenees. But still she feels rooted in the waterfalls and little mountains of Minas Gerais where she was born. As a child she was asked what her 'dream' would be - to live in a big house on the beach, or to travel the world. Her dream was to travel. But she realised early that to travel you have to find a way to fund your explorations and without parental help she knew that she would have to be a good person, and a good athlete - and in that way to hope to find support.
At just eight years of age Fernanda started to race, and then two years later was training towards Olympic level gymnastics in the USA. By 23 she participated in a 600km nonstop International Running Expedition. She has progressed through adventure racing, multi-sport races and ultra trails to become a great endurance athlete.
In her professional life, Fernanda practised as an environmental lawyer and has also been greatly involved in outdoor education through the international NGO Outward Bound. She is also sport nutritionist that loves to encourage people to have a health life. In this way her love of nature and to help people are not limited only to her experiences through her sport, but also to reaching out to others in working and teaching to conserve, protect our natural environment and have life quality.
Her passion for the outdoors is rooted deep within her experiences, "when I'm running on top of the mountains or canoeing in the middle of the sea, I feel as small as nothing ….. and yet I feel the most intense sensations of freedom and peace … my spirit is free". Passionate about the forests, the mountains and the beaches, for Fernanda her delight is to be fully there within the nature - both within her sports but also in the sense of caring for and protecting our environment. Her dream is to become a role model as a runner in the world-wide community of ultra runners. Her philosophy in life is simple - to

Rich sound ext!!! love it
A 20 sec version of this would be bangin! This file is hugeeee. Great quality though
I've used your sample in my track "Ixipaslos":
thanks - sounds great - these big files are killing my poor little internet connection though ;)
Lovely sound, thank you. Really clear and so much less background noise because of the hydrophones (which I didn't even know about until coming across your recording).

Nanotech Players' Low-Risk Profile
Next time a conversation with a fellow investor starts to flag, here are two sure ways to jump-start it: Change the subject to the perils of nanotechnology, or change it to social and environmental responsibility. And if you really want to get things hopping, start talking about both at once.
That's just what Heather Langsner has done. A senior analyst at Innovest Strategic Value Advisors, a New York company that describes itself as "an environmental investment research advisory firm," Langsner not only compiled a nanotech index for value investors, she backed it up with a report that assesses, in part, "the perception risk that may be associated with the environmental, health and safety profile of nanotechnology."

Last week's column the "Five ways that you are annoying your coworkers" seems to have hit a nerve. Seems as if quite a few of you didn't realize that you were the Michael Scott of your office.
So here it is… five MORE ways that you are annoying your coworkers. Consider it a public service announcement.
Jam? What jam?
Copiers jam. Printers run out of paper. The last cup of coffee is poured. Hey, those are the unpleasant facts of office life. But jamming the copier and then walking away? Not cool. At one office I was in, someone actually caused the toilet to overflow – and then walked away. Please don't be that person. If you see the red blinking light on the copier, consider it YOUR red blinking light.
You think your mother works at your office.
Did a monkey make your lunch for you? No? Then why is there a disaster in the microwave? Cleanup spills and crumbs, and throw away your leftovers before they become science experiments.
Patient Zero is you.
We get it. You have deadlines. You have mounds of paperwork to do. But you know what? So do we. And when you come in to work and sneeze all over the fax machine and get your coworker sick, she's not going to be praising your dedication and work ethic. She's going to be cursing the day you were born. Stay home until you aren't contagious anymore. If you must, pop into the office to get supplies and then work from home.
You love Gangnam Style -- and don't care who knows it.
For some people, a ringtone no longer simply a ringtone. It is a way to loudly exclaim to the world that you are a unique individual with tastes so much more sophisticated/quirky/witty than the rest of us mere mortals could ever hope to be. But even if you really are that funny or clever or interesting, I promise you that the 20th time your coworkers hear "I'm sexy and I know it," that they will want to throw your phone out the window. Vibrate while at work, please.
You ignore email etiquette
Your coworkers, like you, have to wade through dozens of emails a day. Avoid blank subject lines or subject lines such as "hi." This does not give your colleague any useful clues as to whether or not to open something right away. It also makes it hard for them when looking for a particular email later. If you need something from a coworker, then state the deadline in the email. Only copy the people that truly need to be informed. And don't misspell your coworker's names -- especially since the correct spelling is right there in the "to" line.

Heat waves are predicted to become much more common, posing increasing risks for human health. Increase in average temperature is expected to increase the number of heat-related illness and deaths, especially in cities. An increase of 2 degrees in the annual average is expected to result in an increase in heat-related deaths of 20%, from approximately 40 per year to 50.
Increased emissions combined with higher temperatures will cause an increase in levels of ground-level ozone. Ozone is a toxic component of smog with the potential to cause serious long-term and permanent damage to lung tissue with repeated exposure. A 4-degree increase in average temperature could increase the concentration of ground-level ozone by 4%. Additionally, increases in temperature and humidity levels can aggravate symptoms of respiratory allergies and asthma by stimulating plant pollen production, which will be further exacerbated by high availability of atmospheric CO2, which is also predicted to stimulate plant growth early in the season.
With milder, shorter winters and longer growing seasons, insect diseases vectors are expected to increase seasonally. Risk of increase in West Nile Virus, malaria, dengue, and Eastern Equine encephalitis transmission is of special concern. Many waterborne diseases thrive in warm water conditions, such as cholera, and present a risk to public health as temperatures and flood frequency increases. There is also an increased risk of run-over from sewage and septic systems in times of high flood. Warmer water temperatures foster algal species and which are associated with human shellfish poisoning and cholera.Warmer temperatures and increased seasonal precipitation could also increase lowlying vegetation, and with it, invasion of ticks carrying Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases, as well as their rodent hosts.

Huaso and Pinot Framed against the blue sky at sunset, a huaso prepares to saddle up as the last light fades from a set of Pinot Noir vines in the Casablanca Valley. Huasos are traditional Chilean horsemen, the equivalent of American Cowboys or Argentine Gauchos. Easily spotted because of their traditional ponchos and straw hats called chupallas, huasos are a fixture of the country's central valley, though, like American Cowboys, they are now more folkloric symbols of a previous era than a part of the dominant culture. -- Alder Yarrow INSTRUCTIONS: Download this image by right-clicking on the image... continue reading
Book review by Sarah Trubnick. Argentine wine is an interesting subject for a book at this point in time. The wine industry in Argentina is currently witnessing a renovation and redefinition, with many wineries focusing on the potential for exportation. This burgeoning fine wine industry has caught the eyes of many throughout the international world of wine, and the quality to price ratio of many wines is exceedingly attractive. These points, along with the coincidental fact that I am presently here in Mendoza, led me to a reading of Laura Catena's Vino Argentino in the hopes of gleaning a bit... continue reading
"So, uh, would you mind coming over here and taking a look at our wine rack?" they said, after we had spent an hour catching up over bagels on a rainy day. And so I wandered around the corner into their dining room to find a couple small wine racks and a small wine fridge and an expectant and somewhat embarrassed silence as they waited for me to offer a verdict. This sort of thing happens all the time to me, as it likely does to most anyone who is known amongst their friends as "the guy/gal that knows about... continue reading
I had high hopes for Chinese wine. And I still do, to a certain extent. But I can't say I'm surprised by the latest news that the government is shutting down some wineries and pulling wine from the shelves after finding a whole lot of faked, adulterated, and chemically altered wine on the market. I've heard rumors of such practices from various people in the wine industry, many of whom scratch their heads when they compare the amount of wine on the market with the amount of acreage under cultivation in China. The two don't add up. Add to that... continue reading
Mystic Cellar One of my greatest regrets from my visit to Argentina, apart from not taking the time to visit Salta, was failing to visit this cellar. The O Fournier winery is exceptional in many ways, but especially in its architecture, which this image only hints at, with the precisely crossed rays of daylight facilitated by a remarkable structure you can't really see. And the wine ain't bad either. If you're in the Valle de Uco, you really shouldn't miss it. -- Alder Yarrow INSTRUCTIONS: Download this image by right-clicking on the image and selecting "save link as" or... continue reading
When you wind your way up to the east out of the little village of Fuisse in the Mâconnais region of southern Burgundy, you should take time to look back over your shoulder at the beautiful little church with its plot of vines, and the hillside skating back up behind it to the west. The narrow road will curve around the shoulder of the hill (atop which sits what has long been called the "faerie woods") and if you bear to the left, you will quickly find yourself in the little village of Chaintré, the home of many men bearing... continue reading
Just about a year ago, I wrote about the wretched solution to selling wine in grocery stores that the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board was foisting on its residents. You remember, right? The kiosks that locked all the wine away behind closed doors so you couldn't touch it, to say, see the back label? The horrible touch screen user interface that forced you to click and click and click. The fact that the machine wouldn't take cash, only credit cards. The video camera mounted in it that monitored you. The fact that you had to swipe your drivers license AND take... continue reading
The village of Premeaux-Prissey is hardly more than a blip on the N74 as you head north towards Nuits-St-George. Blink and you'll miss it, along with the small sign that points you down the church lane to one of Burgundy's more remarkable domaines. Many domaines in Burgundy have existed under the same name for centuries, passed down through generations that have grown up living and farming in the same spot, each new generation working in the family's vineyard, which, on occasion, is right behind the house. Domaine de la Vougeraie is both the same and very different from these traditional... continue reading
Morning Mist One of the things that I sometimes think would ensure I could never be a great photographer is that I like to sleep late in the morning. That means I miss out on half of the really good light there is for taking pictures, as this gorgeous view of Chile's Maule Valley demonstrates. -- Alder Yarrow INSTRUCTIONS: Download this image by right-clicking on the image and selecting "save link as" or "save target as" and then select the desired location on your computer to save the image.

I've been asked more than once in the past few weeks about which wine books I like that might make good gifts for the holiday season. And so I've had to give a little thought to which books I feel every serious wine lover should have read. So without further ado, here's my list. I didn't set out to have only ten, but that's just what I ended up with trying to stick to the most important books, the books that I think every self respecting wine lover should definitely have read, and possibly own. I had to leave off... continue reading
I've long been critical of the great, and outlandish lengths that cork producers seem to go to create negative sentiment towards alternative wine closures, and to promote their own products as the only real choice. I thought they had stooped about as low as they could go when they suggested that buying wine closed with screwcaps was killing an endangered species, but now they've outdone themselves with their latest series of ads. In a remarkable feat of crass and loathsome marketing, the cork lobby has managed to both insult the intelligence of women, and every wine lover that has ever... continue reading
As many of you know, I spent a week or so of November in Burgundy on a press tour of the region, including the annual Hospices de Beaune wine auction. I went to taste a lot of wine, but also to see what I could find out about how Burgundy is dealing with the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century. One of the top "news items" in Burgundy these days can be conveyed in a single word: China. More so than any wine region I've been to recently, most of Burgundy was talking about China in some form. The... continue reading
Part of the charm of Burgundy has to do with the context of many of the wineries and their cellars. Rather than the grand Chateaux with long driveways between rows of trees and vines (though Burgundy has a few of these) more often than not, you simply round the corner of a narrow street in a small village, walk through a wrought iron gate into a gravel driveway, into a garage with a few steel tanks, and then down a set of stairs attached to a normal looking stone house, into a 16th century vaulted brick cellar (most recently used... continue reading
Harvest Burden South American wine regions have a frontier-like quality, a rusticity that has been bred out of some other new world regions. The ruggedness of the Andes certainly contributes to this feeling, but then there are little touches, like the branches that these workers are using to carry freshly harvested Syrah in the Choapa Valley.

The vineyards of the Côte de Beaune spill off the limestone cliffs that mark the eastern edge of the region like a blanket that has slipped off the edge of a bed. Most of the vineyards that everyone knows lie puddled on the floor or in the crease between them. But a bit of vineyards still cling to the edges of the escarpments, cooler and higher than the rest of the Côte de Beaune. Perhaps one of the most important of these nooks and crannies in the cliffs above Beaune, and certainly the most picturesque, is the little village of... continue reading
As some of you know, I spent the week before last tramping around Burgundy and then spent the weekend at the 150th annual Hospices de Beaune wine auction, which in many ways was the fulfillment of a fantasy I've had ever since I learned about the auction several years ago. Just why attending this event has been a fantasy of mine has to do with a number of factors, not the least of which is the fact that it takes place in the heart of a picturesque city in one of the world's greatest wine regions. Most importantly, though, this... continue reading
I like wine bars. I wish there were more of them around when I was single and had the energy to go out and spend hours on the town with friends. These days I don't get to visit many, thanks to the crazy day job and the little one at home. But if I do end up having a drink after work, chances are, you'll find me at a local San Francisco wine bar, with several glasses in front of me. Right now, however, the wine bar I want to visit most in the world is in Moscow. Why? Because... continue reading

Review by Tim Patterson. Secrets of the Sommeliers, a collaboration between Rajat Parr, wine director for the Michael Mina group of restaurants in San Francisco, and wine writer Jordan Mackay, carries the sub-title, "How to think and drink like the world's top wine professionals." Enticing as that sounds, and interesting as the book is, by the end, I wasn't entirely sure I was up to either task. The world of the upscale restaurant sommelier is a rarified place, populated by razor-sharp palates honed through years of diligent practice, access to tasting an astonishing range of wines most of us never... continue reading
The wine world is made of dreams. Some people dream about drinking wine. Some people dream about making wine. And others dream of writing about it. For all those that have ever toyed with the idea of writing about wine, and for those who have dabbled in it, I have a small anecdote to share (again -- I wrote this last year) from my college days. I was taking a fiction writing class one Spring, and our teacher managed to convince a good friend of hers to substitute teach a bunch of us eager, bright-eyed college students for one class... continue reading

The ANC is a national liberation movement. It was formed in 1912 to unite the African people and spearhead the struggle for fundamental political, social and economic change.
The ANC's key objective is the creation of a united, non-racial, non-sexist and democratic society.
This means the liberation of Africans in particular and black people in general from political and economic bondage. It means uplifting the quality of life of all South Africans, especially the poor.
The ANC is in an alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Each Alliance partner is an independent organisation with its own constitution, membership and programmes. The Alliance is founded on a common commitment to the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution, and the need to unite the largest possible cross-section of South Africans behind these objectives.

25 January 2013
The African National Congress and First National Bank met today to discuss the FNB You Can Help campaign whose online postings raised objections which tarnished the image of the ANC and its Government. The meeting provided for constructive, robust and honest dialogue between both parties.
The ANC pointed out in the meeting that the clippings were a deliberate posting on FNB website to attack the ANC and it fed into the opposition narrative that seeks to project the ANC and its government in a negative manner. The ANC further asserted that the clippings were meant to delegitimize the ANC and it`s government particularly amongst the youth. It was further pointed out that the clipping had a negative impact on business confidence and may undermine the objectives of promoting investment into the country. The ANC indicated that its leadership and membership were strongly raising a question why the organisation should continue to bank with a bank that has adopted an oppositional stance to it. The ANC strongly objected to the characterization of its objections as based on misunderstanding the intentions of the advertising campaign by the bank.
The CEO of FirstRand, Mr. Sizwe Nxasana, agreed that the research clippings that were posted online were regrettable, he apologized for the posting of the research clippings online. He then assured the meeting that this regrettable incident will not be repeated.
Mr Nxasana explained the objectives of their youth campaign and stressed that it is meant to inspire all South Africans to work together by helping one another. He explained that it was never the intention of FNB to play politics.
The African National Congress, led by Secretary General, Gwede Mantashe accepted the apology and the show of regret by FNB. The ANC expressed its support for the objectives of the FNB You Can Help campaign to inspire all South Africans to work together in helping to build a better South Africa.
FNB expressed its commitment to the National Development Plan in addressing the areas of poverty, inequality and unemployment in our country.

German plans for the final phase of the offensive took into account the availability of a new Army detachment of two Corps under General von Linsingen which took over the Menin Road sector, with Fabecks forces to the south. The overall commander, Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, authorised 'a decisive attack' to be made by Fabeck, Linsingen and XXVIII Reserve Corps forces (a total of twelve-and-a-half divisions) on a front just less than nine miles between Messines, in the south, and Reutel (opposite Polygon Wood) in the centre.
This large scale breakthrough attack was planned to take place on 10 November and indeed a powerful German offensive took place that day - but north of Ypres against French and Belgian forces around Dixmude. This northerly attack had originally been intended to coincide with a simultaneous move on Ypres and the entire southern sector of the salient but, as Linsingen's attacking force was not properly in place by 10 November, the 'left-hand blow' was delayed until the following morning.
