My Bavaria guide is designed to help you plan the perfect vacation to Germany's most unique state. Many of the people who live in this region of Germany consider themselves to be Bavarian first in German second. Bavaria is the largest of the 16 states in Germany and sits at the southern end of the country bordering Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic.
Bavaria is a gem within Germany. It really has everything that you want for the perfect vacation including one of my favorite cities in Europe. The capital city of Munich is one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the world. The city exudes Bavarian culture and is one of the safest places to visit on the continent. Munich is a relatively large city located on the Isar River. It's probably most famous for being the city that hosts Oktoberfest. This annual German festival takes place during September and October in the Bavarian capital. Oktoberfest and beer go hand-in-hand. Which brings me to my next point. Beer is King in Bavaria. Click on the map of Bavaria Germany to the left to visit Munich.
The people of the area consume more beer than all of the other regions of Germany combined. In fact, it is said, that the only place that consumes more beer is the entire Czech Republic. The breweries in this region can trace their roots back hundreds of years and brand loyalty is a very important characteristic of the very people. Throughout the region in every city and every town you will find beer gardens and beer halls sponsored by the local breweries. These beer halls are like a second home to many of the Bavarian people. If you wanted to compare them to something they would be like the British or Irish pub. However, they are very unique and usually they're quite large and a place where large groups of people can socialize. Some of the best beer gardens are located within the city limits of Munich. The largest beer garden in the world is the Hirsch garden located in the world's largest urban park, the Englischer Garten (English garden). Thousands of people will gather in these beer gardens daily to drink beer and have something to eat. If you carry a Bavaria guide with you it will help you locate many of these beer gardens. The most famous of all of the Bavarian beer gardens is the Hofbrauhaus. If you're in Munich you have to go. It will be the best time of your life. But a warning to all, people tend to get a little bit out of hand, so remember, whatever happens at the Hofbrauhaus stays at the Hofbrauhaus.
In Bavaria you can find many of the traditional German dishes that you would expect to see on any trip to Germany. You'll find plenty of schnitzel, bratwurst, sauerkraut and pigs knuckles. When you're traveling to Bavaria you better have a hearty appetite. All of the beer halls and beer gardens will serve traditional German food. Don't be surprised to see people wearing traditional Bavarian clothing such as Lederhosen
It's not all fun and games in Bavaria. The state is also home to many high-tech industries such as BMW (Bavarian Motor Works). The Bavarian's, like most Germans, are very hard-working people and this can be seen in the industry throughout the region. Tours are available and you can find your way there using a good Bavaria guide book.
When it does come to play the Bavarians have a fantastic playground. In the southwest portion of Bavaria you'll find the Bavarian Alps. The Alps are an outdoor paradise. The people of Bavaria are very fit and spend a great deal of time in the outdoors. There are many great ski resorts within a short drive of Munich. As a matter of fact, you can get to Austria in just over an hour and be skiing in just under two hours. If hiking to think you can hire the services of a Bavaria guide to take you through the Alps on a private hiking trip.
The region also has a rich history. The history buff will love Bavaria because of the connection it had to the Third Reich. Hitler adopted Bavaria has his own and operated from the city of Munich prior to and during World War II. He built a lavish estate in the Alps called the Eagle's nest that visitors can tour and see the excesses of the Nazi party.
Just outside of Munich is the concentration at Dachau. Millions of people visit this concentration camp yearly. This was the first concentration camp to be built by the Nazis. Originally it was only used as a prison but later it was used to house not only political prisoners from Germany but also Jews and other citizens of the Nazis viewed as unfit to be a part of German society. The camp is open daily except for Mondays. Entrance is free and it is only about a 30 to 45 min. train ride from Munich.
Just outside of Munich is the small town of Fussen. If you take a day trip you can visit the world-famous Castle of Neuschwanstein that was the inspiration for the Disney Castle. It was the home of mad King Ludwig who succumbed to an untimely death on the grounds of the estate. Tours are available daily to visit the castle.
If you really want to immerse yourself in German and Bavarian culture and take a train to many of the small towns and villages and find yourself a bed-and-breakfast for the night and head down to the local beer hall or garden have the time of your life. A Bavaria guidebook will help you find all of the little out-of-the-way places to visit within the region.
Travel to and from Bavaria is very easy and you can easily access the entire state by train from most regions in Europe. Direct flights to Munich are available from most North American and European cities as well as other cities around the globe.

I bought these shoes from china. I bought them in two different sizes in two shippings, because I wasn´t sure if the first ones were not too tight.
At the end I was wearing the first pair for my wedding, the other ones I am selling right now.
Yes these shoes are super cute and look awesome. The quality is OK not great. The ribbon sucks. I replaced my ribbon with a lace ribbon from Michaels, cost me a Dollar and looked much better. I found the shoes pretty comfortable. I ordered the shoes in Ivory, but be aware it is a light ivory!
These shoes run actually a little bit small. This is why I ordered a second pair in the first place.
My original shoe size is 8.5 and the shoes I am selling right now are a little bit big and a tiny bit wide for me. The Website says that european 41 shoe size would equal to a 10 1/4. I would rather say the shoes are around a wider 9.

It's been said a Polar Vortex swept through the country—a circulation of strong, upper level winds with bitter cold. Brr. Even the south is seeing its share of record low chilling temperatures. That's why we're doubly happy to tell you about a space heater we received and tried out from DēLonghi.
We tested out the Mica, model HMP1500; technically called the Micathermic Flat Panel Radiator. DēLonghi makes other models from radiant heaters to ceramic and fan heaters but we especially like the Mica.
Its best features are:
* It is light-weight and portable; easy to assemble
* It can roll around (from room to room if necessary) on strong casters
* The Mica is thin and can be hung on the wall! (Great for apartments)
* It is more modern looking than most space heaters
* You can dial in the heat: with the adjustable thermostat and two heat settings; choose the HIGH setting for 1500 watts or the LOW setting for 750 watts.
To maintain the unit, just do a simple dust when completely off and cool. If necessary, you can vacuum any accumulated dirt with an attachment.
Retails for: $79.95
We like this unit (and Home and Living dog, Penny) likes it too. See photo.

College Hockey:Denver Powers Its Way Past Colgate, 3-2
Pioneers Tally Three Times With Man Advantage
OXFORD, Ohio — After dropping their first game of the regular-season to Miami, 5-2, Friday night, the Denver Pioneers rebounded with a solid performance and a 3-2 win over Colgate in the Ice Breaker Invitational consolation game.
"An important game for us, a game that we needed to win, and certainly had a little bit of a tough time generating the kind of momentum we needed early in the game," said Denver head coach George Gwozdecky.
"I was pleased with the way our power play was able to generate for us today. It was a big weapon for us, especially after last night's loss. To have it turn around and be effective for us was a good sign."
The power play was the story of the weekend for Denver — a horror story of Jekyll-and-Hyde proportions. Against Miami Friday, the Pioneers were 1-for-15; in this contest, all three of Denver's goals came on the man advantage.
Part of the difference, said Gwozdecky, was how the Pioneers moved together on the ice tonight. Denver's power play Friday, said the coach, was moving at "15 miles per hour" while "Miami was playing at 25."
"I think team speed is only a function of how well you move the puck. You can have guys that skate like the wind, but they have to work together, has to be some kind of rhythm. I thought at times today, especially in the second period, we hit that rhythm and as a result, we started showing off some of our team speed."
After a scoreless first period that was highlighted at the end by Pioneer Glenn Fisher's work between the pipes, Colgate opened the scoring with Tyler Burton's goal from David McIntyre at 2:29 in the second. McIntire threaded the feet of a Denver defender along the boards and brought the puck into the circle before shuffling a pass across to Burton. The junior put the puck over a sprawled Fisher for the Raiders' first goal of the weekend.
That lead lasted all of 1:14, as Denver's Ryan Dingle and Chris Butler combined to make quick work of the advantage afforded by Mike Werner's penalty for obstruction tripping. Dingle took the face off after the penalty whistle and dropped the puck back to Butler, who circled near the top of the left circle before he fired, beating Colgate's Mark Dekanich high and clean.
Dingle added a goal of his own just over six minutes later and less than a minute after a Denver marker that was waved off because the net was off its moorings. In both cases, it was Pioneer Rhett Rakhshani in vicinity of the puck but unable to finish because of quirky bounces of the puck.
At 8:59, from the right post, Dingle fed Rhett Rakhshani directly in front of the crease, but the puck wouldn't settle down enough for Rakhshani to take a solid shot; instead, the puck skipped past Rakhshani's stick to Adrian Veideman, who chipped it up and into the net for the tally that was disallowed.
At 9:48, Dingle was able to initiate a play beginning at the right post that would count. This time, he backhanded a centering pass for Rakhshani, whose shot was stopped — but not cotrolled — by Dekanich. The puck made its way behind the goaltender and back to Dingle, who popped it across the line for the 2-1 Denver lead.
Dingle said that the waved-off goal was "a down right away," but that the play provided immediate motivation for the guys on the ice. "The five of us got together and we knew we needed to buckle down at that time with the shift and the team and be able to pop one into the net."
As for finishing another player's chances in both his own and the disallowed goal, Dingle said, "Right place, right time."
The Pioneers made it 3-1 with Patrick Mullens' long shot from left point 18:52 in the second.
Late in the third, the Raiders interrupted a Denver clearing attempt on the Colgate power play, leading to their second goal and first power-play tally of the season. Burton was credited with his second of the night after the puck went off his glove in front of the net, from Nick St. Pierre's initial shot. The goal, which was reviewed, made the final score closer than the game actually was.
Gwozdecky was encouraged by what he saw tonight, but he said he sees a team with much work to do.
"Over the course of the last three games we've played including the [exhibition] game against Calgary, you're starting to see short snippets of the kind of team we want to be and type of team we could be. The idea is to obviously lengthen those snippets so that they're whole periods and then whole games.
"We seemed to struggle with really good offensive chances. Instead of finishing those chances, we don't make the plays."
Fisher finished with 24 saves on 26 shots in his first appearance of the season, while Dekanich stopped 28 of 31.
Denver (1-1-0) opens WCHA play next weekend in St. Cloud, while Colgate (0-2-0) plays a pair of nonconference games, visiting Niagara Thursday and hosting Bentley Sunday.

We're as easily swayed by charming packaging as the next girl, so it's a very good thing that the actual scent of Honore des Pres Love Coco Eau de Parfum ($98) is as lovable as the NYC coffee-cup inspired packaging. Described as a hybrid of New York energy and French couture sophistication, the scent features dueling notes of white coconut milk, coriander, tonka bean, vanilla bourbon, and white cedar.

The SCHS boys' soccer team coasted to an 11-1 victory at Spencer County on Tuesday.
The game was called with about eight minutes to play because of the 10-goal mercy rule.
"We had about a million chances to score," SCHS Coach B.J. Andriot said. "I thought we played really well. I told the kids going in that I didn't want them fooling around or joking around, I wanted them to play hard just like we were playing anybody else. It's my belief that you respect your opponent by playing hard, and I thought we did."
After storming through the first game, the SHCS girls' volleyball team struggled in a 2-1 (14-25, 25-22, 25-20) loss at Franklin County on Tuesday.
"The girls opened up big, and I was really proud of the way they put the first game away," SCHS Coach Felicia Pace said.
But the Lady Rockets (3-2) couldn't maintain that momentum against the Lady Flyers (3-1).
The SCHS girls' soccer team took over in the second half and coasted to a 5-1 victory at North Bullitt on Wednesday.
The Samantha Orange got the Lady Rockets on the board first about 15 minutes into the game, and Maggie Goetzinger scored off a pass from Elizabeth Plante just a few minutes later to give Shelby a 2-0 lead.
"Orange did a nice job in her first start," SCHS Coach Joe Turner said.
North Bullitt got a goal near the end of the half to close the gap to 2-1 at the break.
Cornerstone Christian Academy was scheduled to join the Kentucky High School Athletic Association in a few selected sports this season, but the school has decided not to participate.
The Bulldogs were to join volleyball now and boys' basketball this winter, but with a decrease in enrollment, the private school decided a move back to the Kentucky Christian Athletic Association would be best.
Tom Leach, the 'Voice of the Wildcats,' will be at the Shelbyville Kroger store on Monday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. signing copies of his new book Rich Tradition.
Leach's book covers University of Kentucky football coach Rich Brooks' resurrection of UK's football fortunes and looks back at his career.
The SCHS volleyball team visited Western Hills on Tuesday and came away with a dominating victory, 2-0 (25-11, 25-7).
"It was nice to start with a lead and finish with it," SCHS Coach Felicia Pace said. "That's something we've been working on, and something the girls needed to see that they could do. Hopefully we can learn from that."
The Lady Rockets (1-1) dominated Western Hills (0-2) at each position on the court, Pace said.
The SCHS girls' soccer team hammered visiting Seneca, 10-0, Monday in a season-opening game shortened by the mercy rule.
Sophomore forwards Sarah Robinson and Alex Patterson led a potent Shelby County attack. Robinson finished with a hat trick and two assists, and Patterson had two goals and three assists.
The SCHS girls' golf team got some payback against Sacred Heart on Monday.
The Valkyries had beaten Shelby County twice this season, but the Lady Rockets topped them, 173-204, at Weissinger Hills. Although Sacred Heart didn't bring three of its usual top four, SCHS Coach Anna Simpson said it wouldn't have mattered.
"I don't think they would've been able to make up 31 strokes," she said.
After rain shortened their match against Anderson County on Monday, the Shelby County Rockets invited the Bearcats back to Weissinger Hills Friday to complete the match.
Shelby County was in the lead when the rain hit Monday and didn't let up on the return to the course, holding on for a 158-161 victory. Josh Griffin was the medalist, leading the way with a 38. The Rockets were grouped right behind Griffin, with Josh Kuhn next at 39, Jared Redmon at 40 and Tayler Adams at 41.
Shelby County's Brandon Brown took Wichita by storm this past weekend.
Brown finished tied for ninth at Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open on the Nationwide Tour, by far his best finish of the year.
"I wasn't real surprised because I've played well out here," Brown said of his four events on the Nationwide Tour. "I made the cut twice, and really even in the two where I missed the cut, I had a chance to make it. I've just had a couple of holes with big numbers that cost me.

Is there a way to update a normal distribution when given new data points without knowing the original data points? What is the minimum information that would need to be known? For example, if I know the mean, standard deviation, and the number of original data points, but not the values of those points themselves, is it possible?

It is certainly possible. The best way, avoiding some numerical precision issues, is to track the following two values, using the new $n$th observation $a_n$ each time to update the following:
$$m_n = m_{n-1} + \frac{a_{n}-m_{n-1}}{n}$$
$$s_n = s_{n-1} + (a_n - m_{n-1})(a_n - m_n)$$
starting with $m_0=s_0 =0$. Then the mean of the first $n$ values is $m_n$ while the standard deviation is $\sqrt{\frac{s_n}{n}}$ or $\sqrt{\frac{s_n}{n-1}}$ depending on what denominator you usually use to calculate the standard deviation. If you would prefer to just track the standard deviation you can calculate $s_{n-1}=(n-1)\sigma_{n-1}^2 \text{ or } (n-2)\sigma_{n-1}^2 $ each time.

Colorado Head Coach Linda Lappe
"Very solid (second) half defensively for us; both halves we knew the game plan and executed the game plan and we didn't deviate very much at all from it. We forced them to take a lot of outside shots, which was the plan coming in. It was a physical game, you have to give Arizona State's defense a lot of credit, they made it really tough to score. In the second half, we did a much better job of playing the tempo that we wanted to play at and that helped us score a lot more in the second half."
On Controlling The Tempo
"Well, we had three days to prepare, so knowing how Arizona State likes to score. They score a lot of baskets at the rim, they make a lot of layups at the rim, we wanted to make sure that we gave up less than 10 layups, and I think we only gave up a couple of wide open shot; it was a huge key to the game. And, even when they started hitting some outside shots, we stayed steady, we didn't panic, and I thought that allowed us to pull away in the second half. I also thought we did a much better job defending [Arizona State's Haley Videckis] in the second half, she hurt us a lot in the first half, and we barred down and knew where she was. Arielle [Roberson] got the assignment of guarding [Videckis] for the large part also Jen [Reese] guarded her, and our guards understood where she was at in the second half as well."
On What Allowed Team To Stay Steady And Not Panic
"Well, just the understanding of what we were going to see. I'm going to give our practice guys a lot of credit because they gave us a great look from the defensive end, they pressured all over the floor and I felt like our players felt confident that we could score against the sort of pressure that Arizona State was going to play against us. We were stagnant in the first half, we left a lot of points out there, a lot of good shots and in the second half we made those good shots."
On Defensive Effort
"We knew it was probably going to be a low scoring game. I think we have a pretty good defensive team and we knew that we had to not let them go off on us, and I thought for the most part we did a very nice job of that and the other thing we did well was we rebounded well, we boxed them out. They got a couple too many offensive rebounds but they are averaging 18 offensive rebounds in conference, so a huge focal point of ours was to limit their second shots. And, if you can do that against Arizona State you have a create a great task for them."
On Arielle Roberson's Rebounding
"It was good to see Arielle rebound, yeah. I mean she pursued the ball, like Chucky [Jeffery] pursued the ball, you know the post had a huge task of trying to box out their post and I felt like our post did a fantastic job of doing that and that allowed Chucky to go in there and get some defensive rebounds. So, yeah it was good to see everybody rebound the basketball, we pursued it and got a lot of 50/50 basketballs which we knew was going to be important."
On What Has Created Home Court Advantage
"Well, I think just our mentality and understanding. We have a better team this year, and that always helps, better players make everything a lot easier, so our players have stepped up to the challenge and come to practice hard every day. We can play a lot of different line-ups and a lot of different players. I think last year we would get tired sometimes in the second half, which doesn't happen this year because we have so many great players off the bench that can contribute minutes whether it is in the first half or the second half and that allows us to pull away in the second half a lot of times."
Colorado Players
Chucky Jeffery, Sr., G
On CU's Second Half Defense – "They like to score at the rim and what they gave us that we didn't recognize was number 42 (Haley Videckis) hitting outside shots so we just made adjustments at halftime. We just had to recognize where the shooters were and know when to go out and know when to short close out."
On The Teams Interior Defense—"That was the focus. We've been working on that all week and we know that's where they like to score at, the rim, and they're really good when they get touches at the rim so when it went in we tried to double and make them pass it back out and they took like 26 threes or something like that so I think that was huge for our team to make them shoot outside shots. We practice gap help because we know they like to drive so it was pretty hard for them to get it into the paint."
On Arizona State—"They're a tough team and that's what they do—they defend. I think we're one of the top defensive teams in the Pac-12 right now so I think that's a pretty good staple to have as a team, to be a good defensive team, it's going to be hard for teams to score against us."
On The Teams Energy—"I think we had great energy, we got beat to a couple 50-50 balls but other than that I think we were doing a great job defensively it was just recognizing the shooters, who was shooting outside, who was posting up and different things like that. It was just recognition at that point."
On Their Ability To Finish—"We have to start fast and finish strong we say that before every game. We kept going and once you attack them they'll get on their heels and that's what happened, they got on their heels and we kept attacking the rim and got to the foul line."
Arielle Roberson, Fr., F
On Playing In The Post- "It was like any other Pac-12 game, it was very physical down there and a lot of the people are always bigger than me anyway so it's always a battle down there."
On The Teams Ability To Rebound- "I guess just being aggressive on the boards, we knew we had to go box out and get the rebounds and not just let them come to us. I think since our focus was on boxing out we did a really good job as a team of doing that and then that allowed for whoever was close to the ball to go get it."
Arizona State Head Coach Charli Turner Thorne
General – "You have to know how to rebound. We didn't rebound the way we needed to rebound. We got outrebounded huge. We didn't get our paint touches. We talked at half time that 'we played terrible and we are up by 4'. We can't rely on our perimeter shooting. We talked about what we needed to do. Then we proceeded to go out and not do that. That's what they are reviewing back in the locker room. They are down on themselves and they are frustrated, but they literally went out and didn't do the things they needed to do offensively. The last thing we wanted to do was to come down and make one or two passes and fire up a perimeter shot, yet we did that then we didn't make them. Obviously if we would've made them we could've won. That was just the absolute opposite of what we wanted to do. We kind of just took turns doing it. We are just a young team trying to grow up and become tougher and more disciplined in terms of doing what you are supposed to do even when it is a little bit hard and people are trying to take things away. We knew that they might play us that way. We still knew we could attack them from the top and move them a little bit. We didn't work hard enough to do that."
On The Offensive Play – "We didn't get that far in the offense. Jenae wasn't cutting. She played tired and she didn't get it done for us today. She knows it. Joy didn't step up either. A lot of people didn't but we have other players than our starters. Adrianne didn't step up and take care of her team. We could've had the ball inside and had one on one from the top. I think Jenae and Joy would've finished out great. They couldn't guard us that is why they were slumming. It's a challenge to our guards. We took some bad shots and other things, but at the same time our point guards are good shooters. They needed to move the ball around and look for their pull up shot. I can't tell you how many times we have had this conversation with this team. They are good offensive players and they want to be aggressive but they don't understand the value of patience and moving the defense before they take shots outside the paint. We are just continuing to try and grow up."

I found this article (link) on how to set up VPN access to TMG 2010. It's clearly written and easy to follow, however, there are some pre-requisites for this. As I am fairly new to Windows server technology, those pre-requisites didn't ring a bell in my head, I'd really appreciate if someone could elaborate a bit more on those pre-requisites, hopefully with some detailed step-by-step guidance. And here is my server setup: I have two Windows 2008 R2 servers, one with TMG 2010 installed as an edge firewall, the other installed as DC and DNS.
The steps that I didn't have any clue are 3 and 5:
- Pre-requisite 3: Enterprise Root CA: where and how to install this?
- Pre-requisite 5: Computer certificate installed in TMG server: Where to get the certificate and how to install it?
- I suppose I need to install a certificate on my client PC which will access TMG through VPN, so how to get that certificate?

STAFF at a town centre pawnbroker and jewellers Herbert Brown face an uncertain future after it went into administration.
Four staff at the Barnsley shop on Peel Street have been left at risk of redundancy.
Herbert Brown specialises in pawnbroking, gold buying, cheque cashing and unsecured lending.
Administrator Mike Jervis said: "We plan to sell all or part of the business to protect as many jobs as possible.
"Every branch will initially remain open as sale discussions progress. This also enables customers to continue to redeem their goods as normal as they pay off their loans."

I moved to New York City at the end of 1978, having just spent six years obtaining a couple of college degrees. Even though I started publishing my own underground newspaper in 1968 and hitchhiked across North America as a teen, I'd lost all contact with my counterculture roots by the time I arrived in the Big Apple. In fact, HIGH TIMES was a magazine that my younger sister read, though I did enjoy some of the stories when I discovered the stash hidden in her bedroom, especially a lengthy treatise on sniffing glue.
I had no idea there was a single person who was the founding genius behind High Times, or that this man had committed suicide, an event that was not covered by the mainstream press.
Later I learned the real story of Tom Forçade, the visionary founder of HIGH TIMES. Tom was the son of pioneers who'd settled the West after a long cattle drive to southern Arizona. He got started running kilos out of Mexico but quickly graduated to planes and boats and bigger adventures. He believed deeply in the counterculture as a spiritual revolution, with marijuana as its sacrament. Tom started a commune and published a review of the best of the underground press, Orpheus, but was soon driving a psychedelic bus to New York so that he could become a player on a bigger stage.
He rode into the city like someone straight out of a Clint Eastwood western, complete with slouch hat and handlebar mustache. At the time, Tom looked to John Sinclair as his primary mentor, but in 1969 Sinclair was sentenced to 10 years in prison for giving away two joints to an undercover cop. Like Sinclair, Tom planned to seize the cultural moment by managing a revolutionary rock band to commercial success. He was always on the lookout for potential superstars in the rough and eventually settled on David Peel.
Tom's first political act was throwing a pie during a congressional investigation into pornography. (In fact, he launched the whole pie-throwing movement.) He also helped promote Woodstock and went on the road disrupting a Warner Bros. movie starring Wavy Gravy that was being filmed the summer after Woodstock, when Warners made its play to capture the counterculture's center of energy (an attempt that failed miserably). Tom wrote an obscure book about the whole adventure and dedicated it to Wavy, admitting that he'd grown fond of the latter's nonviolent style.
Eventually, Tom forced a showdown with the Yippies at the Republican National Convention in Miami in 1972. The FBI had launched a very successful (and very secret) disinfo campaign to brand him as a snitch, and the Feds also arrested him for possession of a pipe bomb. The subsequent trial lingered for months, though in today's world, Tom would have been taken straight to Guantánamo and had his mind turned inside out with the latest torture techniques.
After launching High Times two years later, in 1974, Tom suddenly captured an important center of energy himself, virtually taking over the entire underground press and transforming himself into a mythic character in the process. High Times was an instant runaway success, and many of Tom's other ideas were pure genius, including jumping on the punk movement and producing the first documentary about the Sex Pistols' arrival in the USA.
I've spent years researching Tom's story, and now I'm putting the final touches on an e-book about him titled The Last Great Outlaw, written by myself and Albert Goldman, who was very close to Tom. Unfortunately, Goldman also introduced Tom to Chic Eder, who really was a snitch and worked with the FBI to bring Tom down.
The book will be available through Smashwords.com, but you can also find it easily in the iTunes bookstore or the Nook store. I plan to release a number of e-books this year via Smashwords, so if you haven't converted to tablet reading yet, now is a good time to start!

living occupancy increased 0.36 percentage point and freestanding assisted
living gained 0.29 percentage point. On
the other hand, independent living declined to new cyclical lows: CCRCs were
down one percentage point, combined
independent living fell 0.38 percentage
point, and freestanding independent
living dipped 0.60 percentage point.
Of course, occupancy isn't the only
metric to consider when analyzing the
performance of the assisted living sector. Another encouraging trend is that
rent growth has remained positive for
assisted living, although just barely.
This is in comparison to other asset
classes such as office and multifamily
properties, which have seen significantly negative rent growth during 2009
and 2010.
As the chart (lower right) shows, the
distribution landscape for rent growth
changed dramatically in the last four
years. In fourth-quarter 2006, more
than half of all seniors housing properties reported to NIC MAP that they
raised rents 3 percent or more. For
assisted living, that number was 56. 2
percent. By third-quarter 2010, only
25 percent of seniors housing properties—or half as many—raised rents 3
percent or more. Assisted living did
slightly better at 26. 1 percent.
Studying the data further, we see a
significant increase in the percentage
of properties that reported lower rents
as well as properties that reported they
held rents steady. In second-quarter
2009, only 10 percent of seniors housing properties reported a year-over-year
decline in average monthly rent. As of
third-quarter 2010, that figure doubled
to 21 percent. As for assisted living, 9. 6
percent of operators lowered rents in
second-quarter 2009 compared with
17. 9 percent in third-quarter 2010.
For many operators, this lowering of
rents may be a way of trying to boost
occupancy. They may be adjusting to
market conditions to make their communities more attractive to prospective
Another key trend is that inventory
growth has not yet begun to slow for

Forecast discussion: Once again, high pressure ridging come down from Canada gave Rhode Island a gorgeous Thursday. We also received true spring temperatures, as we recorded a high of 61 degrees at T.F. Green Airport this afternoon. Unfortunately, we will return to some cooler weather on Friday, along with some showers.
The ridge will begin to break down during Friday morning. We will see increasing clouds through the morning as a warm front from the south moves northward. Along the front will be rain and showers. We should see showers develop during the start of the evening commute. There may be a few showers during the Pawtucket Red Sox game, but I do not think the game will be delayed or cancelled. Light rain will fall during early Saturday morning, and will end by the middle of the afternoon. Some sunshine is expected before sunset, and this may help temperatures climb into the upper 50's to near 60 before sunset.
A high pressure system will build over Southern New England by Sunday, giving us gorgeous weather and slightly cooler temperatures. A strong low pressure system will bring another round of showers by Monday night, with moderate rain through the overnight hours. As the cold front moves offshore, the precipitation will taper to showers before ending by the middle of Tuesday afternoon. There is a slight chance of seeing an isolated shower early Wednesday morning, as a weak disturbance behind the main low passes through the region. Temperatures will remain seasonable into next week, and we will return to sunshine next Thursday.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Partly cloudy with a low of 34.
Friday: Increasing clouds with showers developing around 4 p.m. We will see a high of 46 with easterly winds of 9-12 mph.
McCoy Stadium Forecast (7:05 p.m.): Cloudy with some showers during the game, 40.
Friday night: Showers/light rain and a low of 39. Winds will come from the east-southeast at 10-13 mph.
Saturday: Showers will end by 3 p.m. with some sunshine before sunset. We will see a high of 56.
Saturday night: Partly cloudy with a low of 34.
Sunday: Mostly sunny with a high of 53.
Sunday night: Partly cloudy with a low of 37.
Extended Forecast:
Monday: Mostly sunny until the morning, with increasing clouds in the afternoon. Showers will be arriving around 7 p.m. Highs 54-57, lows 43-46.
Tuesday: Cloudy with moderate rain through the morning, before ending as showers by 3 p.m. Highs 56-59, lows 39-42.
Wednesday: A possible shower during the early morning, then becoming mostly sunny. Highs 49-52, lows 34-37.
Thursday: Mostly sunny. Highs 50-53, lows 35-38.

A few days ago, the first trailer of the upcoming movie Mockingjay pt 1 was released on the video feed at San Diego Comic Con and it was done with fans going crazy as they get to be the first ones to see Mockingjay pt 1.
The teaser trailer was just about a minute long and showed that this movie is going to be more then what we think it would be. In this trailer, we finally get to see Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) as she accepts her role as the Mockingjay. We get some shots of the fight and President Snow (Donald Sutherland) banning the Mockingjay symbol. Plutarch (Philip Seymour Hoffman) talks with President Coin (Julianne Moore) about Katniss and how they need her.
This is good news as fans of the book were nervous about the split because the first half has little to no action. It did drag on a bit as District 13 prepared for war. The movie is easily one of the most anticipated movies of the year and fans excited for when it comes out.
At the event, there were holograms of Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Johanna (Jenna Malone) next to the chair that President Snow sits in. Fans were able to take their pictures and get to pose with Peeta and Johanna. This is just another thing that Lionsgate has been doing to market the film as they are allowing fans to really feel as if they are part of Panem.
There is no news on when the first full length trailer will be released but it will probably be with in the next month or two.
Mockingjay Pt. 1 stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, and Donald Sutherland and is set to come out November 21st.

The RME Fireface 400 is more than just the little brother of the revolutionary Fireface 800 - it is a completely newly designed device.
The Fireface 400 is the only device in its class with active jitter suppression, stand-alone functionality, complete controllability from the front panel, highly flexible I/Os in professional quality, and an unsurpassed 648-channel matrix router - at sample rates up to 192 kHz.
As usual, RME offer a host of sophisticated features and characteristics with the fastest Firewire technology. These include:
RME FireWire Audio
RME's FireWire audio offers many pro-audio features not available from other manufacturer's units:
The DSP-based TotalMix mixer allows fully independent routing and mixing of all 18 input and output channels to all 18 physical outputs. Up to 9 totally independent stereo sub-mixes simply mean unrivalled monitoring facilities. Copy/paste of routings, ganging and group-based operation of faders, and the extraordinary Matrix window are just some of the mixer's unique features. The mixer can be completely MIDI controlled, even in stand-alone operation. Furthermore the DSP hardware calculates RMS and Peak levels for all 54 audio channels, without causing any significant CPU load.
A word clock input and output (BNC) plus two MIDI I/Os (breakout cable, 5-pin DIN) complete the analog/digital feature list and turn the Fireface 400 into a complete audio system of the highest quality.
The Fireface 400 excells as portable all-in-one solution when it comes to power supply. The included switching power supply accepts voltages from 100 to 240 V, thus can be operated all over the world. A rear panel switch enables Bus Powered operation, taking the power directly from the FireWire connector. To avoid potential problems, both the unit's internal power supply and the protective circuits at the FireWire port were specially designed and thoroughly tested.
Fireface 400 Inputs and Outputs
The Fireface 400's front panel features 2 balanced microphone inputs with a digitally controlled input stage, individually switchable 48 V phantom power, and Neutrik Combo connectors for XLR and TRS. These can also be used as additional Line inputs. A gain of up to 65 dB, adjustable in steps of 1 dB over a range of 55 dB, exceptional EIN performance even at low amplification settings, and extremely low THD+N let these preamps surpass those of other devices that cost several times the price of the Fireface 400. All level settings are 100% reproducible and can also be adjusted by software comfortably.
Inputs 3 and 4 are stunningly flexible balanced universal inputs. Firstly, they operate exactly as inputs 5 to 8 on the rear and can be adjusted to accept standard studio input levels (+4 dBu, LoGain). Furthermore, the input impedance can be switched from Line (10 kOhm) to Instrument (470 kOhm). An additional analog input amplification of up to 18 dB (in steps of 0.5 dB) is also available. In short: There's no signal that these inputs can't deal with perfectly!
Inputs 5 to 8 on the rear feature RME's proven level references. -10 dBV, +4 dBu und LoGain can be selected in the settings dialog, equivalent to +2 dBV, +13 dBu und +19 dBu for digital full scale. The same applies to the balanced rear analog outputs 1 to 6.
The high power phones output offers high volumes even with low-impedance headphones, and represents playback channels 7/8. All outputs can be used for ASIO Direct Monitoring purposes.
Digital I/Os:
An ADAT optical I/O* allows for a connection and insertion of effects devices, mixing consoles or external converters. Of course, these 8 channels are available simultaneously with the analog channels. Using an additional ADI-8 DS or OctaMic D, you'll get 16 analog inputs and outputs, which remain still 12 at 96 kHz. The coaxial SPDIF I/O, which is fully AES/EBU compatible (as is common for RME), also works up to 192 kHz, which means that at the highest sample rate, 8 analog and two digital inputs and outputs are directly available. SPDIF optical can also be accessed through the optical I/O.
Fireface 400 Features
The Fireface 400 is equipped with SteadyClock(TM), RME's unique sync and clock technology. With this, the device becomes a sync reference for the whole studio. SteadyClock refreshes clock signals, removes jitter, and takes care of optimal AD/DA conversion quality, thus guarantees a sensational sound quality, completely independent from the reference clock's quality. SteadyClock allows the unit to control the sample rate freely on its own. The Settings dialog includes a direct choice of the video and audio world's most often used sample rates. Additionally, two faders can be used to set the sample rate freely and in real-time, within the range of +/- 4% and +/- 0.4%.
Of course the Fireface 400 offers a second FireWire port for hub functionality. Up to three devices can be connected to one FireWire interface and operated in parallel. The renowned Fireface 800 shares the same driver, allowing mixed setups.
RME Fireface 400 Specifications
Driver Support
Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP, Vista, Vista 64: Full ASIO multi-client operation of WDM, MME (not XP64), GSIF 2.0 and ASIO 2.0. WDM (DirectSound) with stereo and multi-channel support. Full hot-plugging. Up to 3 units operational. Mac OS X (10.3 or higher) PPC and Intel: Core Audio, Core MIDI. Full hot-plugging. Up to three units operational.
* In Quad Speed mode (176.4 and 192 kHz), the ADAT I/O is deactivated

|Episode of Hey Arnold!
|The Sewer King
|Season 1, Episode 16b
|Written by: Keith Kaczorek
|Air date: November 27, 1996
|IMDb • TV.com
Don Del Grande's
The Sewer King is an episode in the Hey Arnold! TV Series.
Arnold accidentally drops his Grandpa's watch into a manhole, and goes in it to get the watch back. There he and Gerald meet the Sewer King, who wants to keep the watch as his "royal icon". After going through the trouble of retrieving the watch (using games of chess) and evading capture by a vengeful Sewer King, Arnold gets the watch back to Grandpa, only for Grandpa to accidentally drop it down the drain. The Sewer King, depressed at the loss of his "royal icon" is pleasantly surprised to have it land in his hands, while Arnold is dejected to learn that Grandpa keeps a drawer full of spare watches just in case one gets lost.
- At breakfast, Arnold is eating something from a box marked "Bacon And Eggs", which has "recommended daily allowance" of "Sludge Factor 7".
- In the jeweler's glass case is a display of "Squatch" watches.
- This appears to be the first episode in which someone outside of the Pataki family says the word "criminy", in this case, Grandpa utters it near the end of the episode when he drops the watch down the drain.
- Grandpa is seen skinning potatoes in this episode. In "Veterans Day", he is seen skinning potatoes during the WWII flashback.
- David Lander is the voice of the Sewer King.
- The Sewer King isn't just a one-time Hey Arnold! villain. He also appears in one of the chapter books called "Return of the Sewer King".
- Chess champion Boris Spassky was mentioned in this episode.
- While playing chess with the Sewer King in order to win Grandpa's watch back, Arnold reveals himself to be a first-rate chess player, swiftly beating the Sewer King multiple times.
- When Gerald and Arnold run out of the sewer tunnel into the street, there is graffiti on a wall across the road that reads MR. BIG.
- This episode aired the same day that Bill Clinton was inaugurated for his second term as U.S. President.
- Coincidentally enough David L. Lander (voice of the Sewer King), Francesca Marie Smith and Sam Gifaldi (who were credited as additional voices with Sam doing a minor role as an unnamed boy ant and Francesca doing a blueberry scout) had minor roles in the 1998 animated film "A Bug's Life".

With E3 coming to a close on June 12, 2014, gamers finally have time to sit back, catch their breath, and take in all the information that this year's expo has bestowed upon them. From trailers to new tech, to gameplay demos and reveals, this year was another information-packed year, all kicked off again by the "Big 3" – Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo.
Every year, each of the big console developers take turns attempting to convince the gaming community at large why their console is the console of choice. As such, so now begins the debate to see who conquered this year's big event. How did each company fair? Let's take a quick look at each of the Big 3 and see if they had what it takes to win over this year's E3.
The first to take the stage, Microsoft's presentation was strictly about the games; a far cry from last year's keynote which focused heavily on tech and multimedia features rather than gaming. It almost seemed apologetic as Microsoft ensured their presentation stayed game-centric by announcing non-game news weeks prior to E3 including new apps, the removal of pay-wall restrictions for apps, and a new "Kinect-less" Xbox One console bundle.
Highlights from Microsoft's presentation included:
- First gameplay footage of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was revealed.
- Sunset Overdrive was demoed live on stage.
- Halo 5: Guardians and Halo: The Master Chief Collection were announced.
- Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced.
- The Division was demoed live on stage along with Xbox One exclusive e content and a Holiday 2015 release window.
While Microsoft absolutely delivered on their games-only presentation, the lack of any real "growth" news may have been a fault. Having just one piece of non-game related news in their presentation – such as the new console bundle – would have positioned Microsoft in a far more progressive position as opposed to a company having to take a step back to do a bit of damage control. Regardless, Microsoft delivered a solid presentation that successfully reminded gamers that the Xbox One – and Microsoft – is all about the games.
Next on deck was Sony's press conference, which stuck to the more typical presentation: showing off games, tech-talk and new features, and bookending the presentation with more games. Throughout their presentation, Sony revealed numerous exclusives – both console exclusive titles and in-game extras for titles not console exclusive – in a bid to maintain the widely accepted dominance bestowed upon them since 2013's E3.
Highlights for Sony's presentation included:
- A white Playstation 4/Destiny bundle will launch September 9, with a beta for Destiny coming July 17.
- LittleBigPlanet 3 was officially revealed.
- Bloodborne, the spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, was announced with a trailer.
- Playstation Now will begin an open Beta starting July 31 for the PS4, with PS3 and Vita coming soon.
- A new trailer for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was revealed.
Sony's presentation was filled with confidence, even taking an aggressive posture at times with open pokes and jabs at the competition. With so many console exclusive benefits and games, Sony clearly wants to maintain their position as leader in the console wars. Bottom line: Sony delivered an excellent presentation that reminded gamers of Sony's commitment to bringing great games and features to their platform while still moving forward in the industry, paving the way for another great for the Playstation platform.
Once again forgoing a live presentation, Nintendo took to the virtual stage with a "Digital Event" to deliver the last press conference of the "Big 3". Short and concise, with surprise animations from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios (Robot Chicken) and Shaft (Monogatari), Nintendo's press event was quirky, humorous, and undeniably charming as Nintendo did what they do best – be Nintendo. While most of their news came during the presentation, several other announcements were made throughout the duration of E3, including a new Star Fox game.
Highlights during Nintendo's digital event included:
- Mii's were introduced as the newest fighter for Super Smash Bros. for both the Wii U and 3DS versions.
- Nintendo unveiled their own version of Skylanders toys, called Amiibo.
- A new, open-world Legend of Zelda game was teased.
- Bayonetta 2 received a new trailer, along with a box art reveal, an October 2014 release window, and will include the first Bayonetta.
- Mario Maker was announced for the Wii U with a 2015 release window.
Given the Wii U's lackluster sales since its release, it's surprising to see Nintendo's rather devil-may-care approach to their presentation. Essentially dismissing the competition, Nintendo proceeded to focus on fun, which is refreshing. Still, it would have been nice to see Nintendo revisit a shelved franchise or two, such as a Metroid title. A missed opportunity perhaps, but Nintendo did make several great announcements after their keynote including a new Starfox title in the works for the Wii U. While announcements such as this may leave those not able to personally attend E3 in the dark, it does show that Nintendo has plenty more up it's sleeve.
After all is said and done, now comes time to declare a winner. While the victor may be a matter of opinion for many gamers, ultimately it will be decided by sales. Since E3 2013, Sony has proven to be last year's victor with the launch of the Playstation 4, having sold more than 7 million units, while both the Xbox One and the Wii U are trailing behind. To claim a true winner for E3 2014, for now at least, may be a bit premature until we see how sales progress throughout the remainder of the year. However, as mentioned, everyone will have their opinion as to who they think dominated E3 2014.
Which begs the question: who do you think won this year's E3? Be sure to check out each of major presentations linked below and then leave your thoughts in the comments section.

Brief History of the Institution
Like other professional technical institutions of All India standing, this Institution is an association of professional and technical persons who are engaged in the profession of Surveying.
It was established in 1950 as a result of concerted efforts of some eminent persons belonging to the profession. The importance of this profession to the country was so obvious that the proposal to put the Surveyors on an organized basis met with an immediate response from the Govt. of India which appointed a committee of experts to draw up the rules of the proposed Institution.
The committee recommended the formation of the under mentioned two subdivisions of study to begin with :

Hot on the heels of the leaked images of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4, new reports are suggesting that Samsung could in fact name two variants of their popular Note smartphone at the Samsung Unpacked event that is due to be held on Sept.3. SamMobile on Aug. 11 reported that Samsung have applied for a trademark for a device named the Galaxy Note Edge.
On Aug. 11 new images of the proposed Galaxy Note 4 emerged on the web, and while the phone certainly looks nice, it did not offer the exciting new form factor that was teased by a high ranking Samsung exec earlier on this year, however the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge could sport that new form factor that could feature a three-sided display, or more likely a curved screen much like the LG G-Flex.
While information about either device is still scarce, it will be interesting to see if reports of a three-sided device are accurate. There have been rumblings about such a device for a few months now, and some nice rendered images and artists impressions of such a device certainly excited many in the tech world.
Samsung filing for a new trademark does not automatically mean that there will be such a device, but an executive of an unnamed Samsung business partner did recently reveal that the Note would be offered with two different form factors, one with a curved OLED display for niche markets, and one with a regular flat OLED display for mass marketing.
Samsung has toyed with curved displays before with the Samsung Galaxy Round, but poor sales of the device made Samsung re-evaluate curved screens, but a curved Galaxy Note would match up with previous statements about there being a new form factor for the Note line of smartphones, and it would certainly be one way to differentiate their flagship from competitors such as the LG G3, and the upcoming 5.5-inch Apple iPhone 6.
The new Galaxy Note phones are expected to be announced at the Samsung Unpacked event which will be held simultaneously in NYC, Berlin, and Beijing on Sept. 3.

After going through the Dressing Your Truth online course and experiencing their makeover, some women will say "I'm a new woman!"
I can totally understand why. I even felt like a new woman myself once I honed in on my true Type.
But Dressing Your Truth doesn't really create a new you—it helps you reveal the true you!
We see that truth especially in this beautiful makeover of a Type 2 woman. Before, we wouldn't have even known she had such luxurious locks of curly hair! By not honoring her hair's natural movement, she was hiding one of her most elegant features.
This woman's face and especially her eyes are incredibly beautiful in both photos. But in the Before photo, she comes across more structured and rigid in the bold, black jacket, rather than align with her more soft, subtle and fluid nature. We see the jacket, but not her.
After, with a softer, cooler style of clothing and the right makeup and hairstyle for her Type, she looks composed, serene and approachable. Plus, she naturally invites us all in to experience that peace with her.
What do you notice about her makeover? Share you positive comments below.
Remember, not every Type looks good in black. When you go through the Dressing Your Truth online course, you learn what your "replacement blacks" are for your Type's wardrobe (unless you are the Type that looks stunning in black!). This woman shows us how beautiful charcoal gray looks on a Type 2.
Ready to experience your own makeover?
You can get started by learning your Type with my free Beauty Profiling course online.
Or, if you already know your Type of Beauty, purchase the Dressing Your Truth course and get the details on how to look and feel your best every day.

As part of a $45,000 grant awarded to Raritan Valley CommunityCollege aimed at promoting homeland security and emergency preparedness, students of the Events Planning/Meeting Management class will plan and participate in a December 8, 2005 forum entitled Emergency/Disaster Preparedness and Response for Special Events.
The goal of the forum is to evaluate current preparedness and management strategies, share best practices and lessons learned and to begin to develop a framework for standardization that can eventually be applied industry wide.
This interactive forum will highlight what professionals can doto safeguard against calamities, and teach planners how to better respond in the wake of disaster. It will focus on the three constantly evolving stages for which the industry needs to create a framework - preparedness, response and evaluation.
Using the curriculum, The Hitler Legacy: A Dilemma of Hate Speech and Hate, the forum will include a keynote address and interactive session to present the following dilemmas for discussion: understanding how hatred affects our homeland security; hate speech and the First Amendment; hate and the internet; implications of hate crime laws, denial of history; the Hitler Fascination; examples of terrorism such as the massacre at Columbine High School and September 11; and a final assessment of hate crime and hate speech.
A panel of speakers to conclude the program will discuss champions of Civil Rights and everyday heroes who confront hate and defend freedom. Panelists include: a representative from the NJ State Commission on Holocaust Education, RVCC professor and student, representative of The Paul Robeson Institute, representative from law enforcement, and a member of the New Jersey Bias Crimes Unit.
The forum is designed to "explore the meaning of tolerance and the consequences of intolerance by focusing on the dynamics of hatred, terrorism, racism, the history of the Holocaust and the struggle for human rights worldwide." (New York Tolerance Center)
This is an RVCC collaborative project co-sponsored by The Service Learning SAFE Project, The Holocaust & Genocide Institute, The Paul Robeson Institute, The Human Rights Day Leadership programming for high school students, and The New Jersey Commission on Holocaust and Genocide Education.
Certificates of completion will be given to high school faculty for 6 hours of professional development from RVCC's Corporate and Continuing Education Division.
There is a $12.00 admission fee to cover breakfast and lunch. If you would like more information, please contact Sharon Decker by email: firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone: 908-526-1200 x 8462.

The good The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX300 is currently the lightest, smallest camera with a 20x zoom. It has built-in Wi-Fi for on-the-go sharing (among other things); fantastic battery life; and a large variety of auto shooting options.
The bad The camera's weight and size can make it difficult to keep steady when using the zoom lens, the screen is difficult to see in bright sun, and the lens has small apertures at both ends, making the zoom best suited for daytime, outdoor use.
The bottom line If you miss having a zoom lens, but don't want to add too much bulk and weight to your travels, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX300 is a very good choice.

May CanJam: Rhubarb Mango Jam
I went simple, and old school, this month for Tigress's CanJam, where the secret ingredients were rhubarb and asparagus. The local asparagus isn't ready yet, but the rhubarb is – and although mangoes aren't local to central NY, they are in season, cheap and fragrant. So here goes:
Rhubarb Mango Jam
4 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
2 mangoes, diced into 1/2 inch chunks
3/4 cups brown sugar, divided in half
1 lemon – zested and juiced (about 2 tablespoons juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest)
- Place the diced rhubarb and half of the sugar into a covered container or ziploc bag, and macerate overnight to draw out the rhubarb juices. Refrigerate the container while macerating.
- Prepare the jars and lids according to USDA directions for hot-water bath canning. Keep the jars hot while you prepare the jam. Put a spoon or ceramic plate into the freezer to chill for the jelly-test.
- Drain the juice into a saucepan. Add in the remaining half of the sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice, and bring to a boil.
- When the juice begins to boil, stir in the rhubarb and mango, and continue to boil for 10 more minutes or until the fruit is softened and the boiling can't be stirred down.
- Check jam consistency by putting a few drops on the chilled spoon/plate. If the drops of juice gel up, remove the jam from the heat and fill the hot jars. Place the jars into a hot-water bath and can according to USDA directions, 5 minutes for pints and smaller sizes or timed according to your location above sea level.
Makes 5-6 four-oz. jars (2 1/2 to 3 cups) of jam.

Bungie's runaway 2007 hit, "Halo 3," comes to Xbox Live in just a few short weeks.
Xbox Live's Major Nelson recently announced on his blog that the shooter will arrive in the Games On Demand section on April 20.
No word on pricing or whether or not the version in question has the game's plentiful DLC packed in it.
With Halo: Reach penciled in for a September release date and the multiplayer beta for it dropping in less than a month, I can't understand why anyone would buy this. But there must be someone, somewhere, that hasn't played Halo 3, right?

|INGREDIENTS: 1 lb. each ground beef, turkey & pork sausage, 2 eggs, ¼ c. grated Parmesan Cheese, ½ c. seasoned bread crumbs, 1 pkg. onion soup mix, ¼ c. ketchup, 1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tbs. minced garlic, 2 tsp. Italian seasoning, ½ tsp. black pepper PUREE INGREDIENTS: 1-3/4 c. diced rutabaga, 2 c. diced sweet potato, 1 stick of butter, 4 oz. cream cheese, 1/8 tsp. nutmeg, salt & pepper to taste, 6 c. water for boiling
|DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. MEATLOAF: Thoroughly combine all ingredients. Place in 9x13" baking pan. Shape into a loaf. Loaf should be approximately 2" deep. Bake @ 350 degrees for 1 hr. 15". When done, remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. PUREE: While meatloaf is baking, place diced baga in a microwave safe dish and microwave for approximately 5 minutes (if you have a "Baked Potato" setting on your microwave set for 2 baked potatoes). Heat water to boiling in a large pot. Add sweet potatoes & rutabaga to boiling water, boil until sweet potatoes are soft enough to mash, approximately 10 minutes. Drain and return to pan. Using a hand mixer, beat sweet potatoes & baga until smooth. Add butter, cream cheese & nutmeg. Mix until well blended. Add salt & pepper to taste. After meatloaf has rested for 5 minutes, "frost" it with puree. If you want to get fancy you can use a large frosting tip & pastry bag and pipe a pretty pattern with the puree.
|INGREDIENTS: 28-36 grape leaves,1 tsp. Sea Salt, 1 lemon ½ tsp. salt, 1-1/2 -1 ¾ c. Minute Rice (depending on the fat content of your meat), olive oil, ¼ lb. feta cheese, 1 c. each finely chopped onion-celery-green pepper, 2 c. cooked small diced rutabaga INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN FILLING: 1 lb. ground white chicken 1-1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning, ½ lb. Monterey Jack cheese, 1-1/2 tsp. minced garlic, 1 tsp. sage, 1-14 oz. can chicken broth INGREDIENTS FOR BEEF/LAMB FILLING: ½ lb. ground beef mixed with ½ lb. ground lamb, 1-1/2 tsp. Thyme, 1 tsp. Italian seasoning, ½ lb. Mozzarella cheese, 2-1/2 tsp. minced garlic, 1-14 oz. can beef broth
|DIRECTIONS: Pick fresh, supple grape leaves, youngest leaves- the best. Bring 8 c. water to boil, add juice of ½ lemon and 1 tsp. sea salt. Carefully unroll the leaves (do not separate them). Turn off heat and place leaves in the hot water for 3 minutes. Remove leaves, place them in a bowl and cover with cold water. Cool, drain in colander. THE FILLING: In large skillet sauté onions, celery and peppers in 2-1/2 -3 Tbs. olive oil and all the seasonings for the meat you are using until the onions are translucent. Add the meat and brown well. Add broth and rutabagas and bring to a boil. Add cheeses and stir until cheeses are completely melted. Add rice, cover and let sit while you prepare your loaf pan. MAKE THE LOAF: lightly brush interior of round jell-o mold with olive oil. Use paper towel to remove any excess that may drip into the bottom. Your pan size and grape leaf sizes will determine how many grape leaves you'll need. Lay grape leaves in a single overlapping layer around the bottom of the pan. Add a second and third layer, working up the sides of the pan, and hanging over the sides and in the center opening of the mold. Use leaves that are whole and without any damage for the bottom layer (which will show on the top); torn leaves can be used on the inner layers. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spoon the filling into the leaf lining, resisting any temptation to pat it down. Level it off along the top. Fold the grape leaves in over the filling and tuck it. If there are gaps, use more leaves to cover, tucking the edges inside the pan. Sprinkle the top with water, about 3-4 handfuls, or brush lightly with olive oil and bake for 30". Allow to cool for 10-15". Place a serving dish over the loaf, invert and release the loaf. DECORATING THE WREATH: Reserve some filling and place in the center of the cooked loaf and add colorful garnishes. Lemon is a traditional taste with grape leaf recipes. May be served with tzatsiki sauce and a few diced tomatoes on top. Great for an appetizer or as a meal.
|INGREDIENTS: 9 c. water, 1 lg. green pepper-diced, 2 c. carrots-diced, 1 lg. rutabaga-cubed, 1 can cut green beans (drained), 1-24 oz. jar spaghetti sauce, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 2 tsp. Italian seasoning, ½ c. grated parmesan cheese, 1 c. celery-diced, 1 lg. onion-diced, 5 med. potatoes-cubed, 1 sm. pkg. frozen peas, 5 Abby Land pre-cooked Brats (cut into bite-size pieces), 1 tsp. black pepper, 3-4 Tbs. beef base (to taste)
|DIRECTIONS: Add rutabagas, carrots, celery, green pepper, potatoes and onion to water; bring to boil and simmer until vegetables are tender. Add peas, green beans, spaghetti sauce, grated parmesan cheese, brats and seasonings. Simmer 15 minutes. Yields 10-12 servings. Serve with garlic bread

When a woman becomes pregnant, she often takes steps to avoid ingesting any harmful substances; thus, she may avoid alcohol, smoking, or any medication that might harm her developing fetus. Some of these women are taking medication for a health problem such as epilepsy. Under these conditions, the risks versus the benefits of the medication must be assessed. A new study should provide good news to pregnant women who are taking the epilepsy drug levetiracetam and bad news for women taking the drug valproate. A new study has found that this drug appears to be safe for use during pregnancy. The study was published in the January 8 online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology by researchers at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom.
The study group comprised 53 children exposed to levetiracetam, 44 children whose mothers took the epileptic drug valproate and, 151 children whose mothers did not have epilepsy and did not take any drugs during pregnancy. The children were age three to four-and-a-half. Tests were conducted to evaluate their development in areas such as thinking, movement, and language abilities. The researchers found that children exposed to levetiracetam did not differ from children not exposed to epilepsy drugs on any of the tests that were administered. However, compared to children exposed to levetiracetam, children who were exposed to valproate scored an average of 16 points lower on movement tests, 10 points lower on expressive language tests, and six points lower on language comprehension measures.
Study author Rebekah Shallcross, PhD noted, "These results are heartening, as the use of levetiracetam has increased in recent years, but there has been limited information on its effect on the thinking, movement and language abilities of children. However this is the first study to look at the effects of levetiracetam and further research is needed before we can be certain there are no associations. It is very important that women do not stop taking their medication before speaking to their healthcare professional."
Epilepsy is a neurological condition involving the brain that makes people more susceptible to having recurrent unprovoked seizures. It is one of the most common disorders of the nervous system and affects people of all ages, races and ethnic background. According to the Epilepsy Foundation of America, nearly 3 million Americans live with epilepsy. Individuals who have repeated seizures usually need to take antiepileptic drugs. These drugs do not cure the disorder, but they can prevent seizures all or most of the time. There are more than 20 different antiepileptic drugs. The choice of drug is based on a patient's age, the type of seizure, and the side effects of the drug. If one drug does not work, another can be tried. More than one drug may be needed to control seizures.
According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), seizure disorders can affect pregnancy in several ways:
- Women with seizure disorders have a higher risk of having a child with a birth defect than women who do not have seizure disorders. This increased risk may be related to the seizure disorder itself or to some of the antiepileptic drugs used to treat it.
- Having a seizure during pregnancy can cause injury to you and your baby.
- Pregnancy can change the frequency of seizures. Most women will have no changes in seizure frequency or will have seizures less often. One third will have seizures more often. Many of these problems can be minimized or avoided by getting good medical care before and during pregnancy.
Risks are associated with having a seizure during pregnancy. Seizures can harm not only the woman, but also her baby. Seizures that cause a loss of consciousness and violent, jerking movements, called grand mal seizures, are especially hazardous during pregnancy. The risks associated with seizures during pregnancy include injury from falls, decreased oxygen to the baby during the seizure, preterm labor, and preterm birth.
Some antiepileptic drugs have been associated with a small increased risk of birth defects, including cleft lip or palate (the lip or roof of the mouth is not completely closed), heart defects, and neural tube defects. One reason why AEDs may be related to an increased risk of birth defects is that many of these drugs affect the way the body uses folic acid. Folic acid is a B vitamin. Not having enough folic acid before pregnancy and during the first weeks of pregnancy can increase the risk of having a child with a neural tube defect. If you take an antiepileptic drug, your healthcare provider may recommend that you take extra folic acid before pregnancy and for the first three months of pregnancy.
Because there are serious risks associated with having a seizure during pregnancy and because the potential risk of harm to your baby from taking antiepileptic drugs is small, experts recommend that seizures be controlled with antiepileptic drugs, if necessary, during pregnancy. However, the type, amount, or number of drugs that you take may need to change. Ideally, any Changes in medication should be made before pregnancy. This allows you and your healthcare provider to see how the medication changes affect you without putting the fetus at risk.

Deli Central in Uptown Columbus is a great alternative to the chain sandwich places in town. Open for breakfast and lunch, Deli Central offers fresh salads, soups, sandwiches and Board's Head cold cuts.
Have you seen the waving sandwich at the intersection of Broadway and 13th Street? The Deli Central staff are equally friendly and enthusiastic. I have always been served with a smile and have never had a problem with my order. I suggest the Mushroom & Brie soup if it is available.
Deli Central is busy at lunch, so arrive early to avoid a wait. During the rush it can take a while to get your food, but the made-to-order fare is worth it. Besides, going "local" is a great way to support the community and boost our economy.
Contact Deli Central at 706-322-3860 or www.delicentralcolumbusga.com.
