Get dirty, have fun and grow more food with great gardening tips from real-life gardeners.
By Cheryl Long
heirlooms, corn
First, shell the corn from the cobs and winnow out any chaff. Dry the kernels in a low oven, then store in a tight container.
Grind the corn coarsely. Sift the ground corn to remove most of the finer flour (use it for cornbread, etc.).
To remove some of the red bran material, first place the ground corn into a tall, narrow bowl and pour water over it. This will float much of the bran to the surface, where you can skim it off. (You can eat the bran — it's rich in fiber — but it's not very palatable and I think the grits taste better if some of the bran is removed.)
Next, drain off most of the water and add back four cups of water, plus a little salt, for each cup of ground corn you are cooking. The corn takes at least an hour to cook. I've used a double boiler, a casserole dish in the oven, and the microwave — each worked fine. A slow cooker should work well, too. At this point, I prefer the microwave — about an hour with the power set on low so that the corn just simmers.
Add cheese and/or butter if you want, and serve the grits/polenta hot. One pound of cooked breakfast sausage mixed with four cups of the coarse cooked grits is excellent. Or some folks like to add mushrooms or tomato sauce.
For fried polenta, pour the hot corn into loaf pans and refrigerate. Cut slices about a half inch thick and fry in butter plus a little olive oil until brown and crisp on both sides (frying time is longer than for many foods, but the resulting crunch is terrific).
For more, see Corn Pancakes a la Floriani and The Return of a Great Corn Variety.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Authorities are reporting scattered damage and a few injuries from a line of strong storms moving through Alabama.
Walker County emergency management director Johnny Burnette says an apparent tornado damaged eight homes near the Corona community before dawn Wednesday. A pregnant woman suffered a broken arm when a trailer home was tossed by the winds.
Trees and power lines also were reported down in Lamar and Fayette counties. Forecasters issued tornado warnings for areas including Sylacauga, but there were no immediate reports of damage.
At least three school systems have canceled classes rather than have children on the road as the line passed.
The storms are part of a system that killed at least 44 people in Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky.

Grand Junction Police are investigating a 'suspicious death' this morning.

That's what we always used to call Thursdays back when I was an undergrad. Ah, is the anything more sad than a 30-year old re-living "the glory days". Speaking of Glory Days…
Did you know? Steven Van Zandt, who plays the guitar and the mandolin in the E Street Band, was also Silvio on The Sopranos? (He's the one wearing the super cool bandana.)
Yep. (awkward pause) Well then.
A while back, the Twins posted a recipe for Kabocha-lime guacamole. I would like to personally present them with the "Best creative use of Kabocha Squash in a recipe" award. This award comes with no prize, save the honor of knowing that you (the collective you, since there are two of you) have absolutely MADE MY DAY.
Mine isn't nearly as pretty, because I just smashed everything together with a fork. I also used 1/2 a sweet potato instead of kabocha because I had some leftover from my morning smoothie (don't knock it 'til you try it). Does that mean their award should be "Best use of a starchy-orange-fleshed vegetable in a a recipe"? I guess since I made up the award I can call it whatever I want. I have now made both recipes on their "crowd pleasers" post, and while I myself do not a crowd make, I can say that I was pleased. Mission Accomplished ladies!
Oh, one more thing. The only thing I did differently was add in 1/2 T of nutritional yeast. Because I am an addict. Served up on toasted corn tortillas. Again, because I am an addict.
I've also been really loving chocolate avocado mousse lately. I know there are a ton of recipes out there; seems like everyone has their own version, so I figured why not clog up those internet tubes with one more?
Katie's Version of the Ubiquitous Chocolate Avocado Pudding Serves 1 (go make your own, sucka)
- 1/2 avocado (frozen or not)
- 1/2 banana (frozen or not)
- 1 heaping T carob powder (or cocoa)
- 1/2 cup roasted, chilled beets
- stevia and vanilla, to taste

loved one and stalking don't hand in hand..
It's a feature mainly for parents who want to monitor their kids' whereabouts. I think it's relevant and has commercial values. Good campaign.

I agree.. they don't go hand in hand.. The product proposition should have been something like a 'lost mobile' or a 'theft situation' or something.

I received a call after filling a request online to get health insurance. The person who called me explained that this health insurance plan was great for self employed people like myself because there was no deductible and 6 visits per year were covered by this insurance. He explained that my emergency room visits would be covered as well.
Like the posts in here. They lied. I received their package and none of the items discussed were there. Terrible!

As we count down to the star-studded Met Gala tonight (and wait for the pics from the Anna Wintour Costume Center grand opening to roll in—FLOTUS alert!), let's marvel at the creative ingenuity and sheer cuteness of the latest homage to the annual Fashion Prom. Not sure if you've heard of Mayhem, the four-year-old fashion aficionado whose exploits are well-documented via her mom's Instagram, [2sistersangie](http://instagram.com/2sistersangie) and her blog fashionbymayhem.com. Mayhem first hit the Interwebs with her FLAWLESS re-creations of red carpet dresses made out of tissue paper, craft paper, and tape. (Seriously.)
Well, leading up to this evening's festivities, those top-notch tastemakers at [Vogue](http://www.vogue.com/vogue-daily/article/instagram-star-fashion-by-mayhem-met-gala-gowns/#1) have tapped the little diva to model a few looks honoring memorable, designer creations worn by A-listers on Met Ball red carpets past. Squee! Let's take a look:
First up: Sarah Jessica Parker's tartan and tulle Alexander McQueen gown worn in theme for the 2006 "AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion" exhibition.
Little Mayhem even has her red carpet pose down pat.
For the 2009 The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion opening, Rihanna went edgy in a sculptural Dolce & Gabbana pantsuit.
This has got to be the best use of tissue paper and packing tape that I have ever seen. And here's to Mayhem's tenacious Blue Steel gaze.
For the 2011 gala celebrating Alexander McQueen, Jennifer Lopez opted for a bold fuchsia creation by Gucci.
Seriously, check out the expert pleating on that paper skirting. And the flowers. Exquisite (and adorbs)!
For the 2012 Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations gala, Florence Welch wore this divine snow-queen work of art by Alexander McQueen.
Serious kudos on this ethereal re-creation and red carpet 'tude from Mayhem. Can someone please send this kid a last-minute invite?
You can check out the complete story on vogue.com.
Which look do you like best? And how cute is this kid?!

- Duck & Turtle Regatta (immediately after the Pumpkin Festival) – September 24
- Big Elkin Brew Fest (EVTA will be there!) – September 24
- Insane Terrain Trail Race – October 22
The Elkin Valley Trails Association is proud to be an active partner with the Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail (FMST) as we promote trail building between Stone Mountain and Pilot Mountain State Parks. Many of you are already Friends of the MST and are aware of everything they are doing to support this 1,100 mile NC trail.
It was announced at the recent FMST Annual Meeting at Elon University that the 2017 annual meeting will be in Elkin. Mark your calendars for the weekend of February 3rd, 2017 as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the MST and host attendees with a weekend of activities in and around our fair town.
Visit Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail to sign up and to learn more.
Thanks to the hard work of some EVTA members, we now have a birding map for to show the hot spots on our in-town trail. Whether you're an ornithologist or a recreational bird watcher, it's time to grab the binoculars and go. Check the Trails/Maps tab above to view the map .
In case you missed it, here is a December 16th UNC-TV segment about the Mountains To Sea Trail and how the Elkin Valley Trails Association fits into the larger plan.
Statewide there is only one place where 3 major trails come together….Elkin! The Mountains to Sea trail and the Yadkin river trail are both state sanctioned. The Over Mountain Victory Trail is a federally sanctioned trail. Elkin Valley Trails Association, through all volunteer efforts and donations, supports all three trails….constructing, maintaining and publicizing. Please join us!
Check out our Trails section to read about trails that are now open or where we have built facilities for public use. Updates will be added as additional sections are completed.
Recent trail work includes trail maintenance jobs such as repairing signs. But there's new activity going on this summer too. We've had lots of new trailblazing activity including the mountain bike course. Bridges at Grassy Creek Winery and the new 180-foot bridge in Elkin are also under way.

|Hodge-Dirac Operators in $L^p$ Spaces on Lipschitz Domains.
|Alan McIntosh
The Hodge--Dirac operator $D_H = d_\Omega + {d_\Omega}^*$ on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset R^n$ is
self-adjoint in $L^2(\Omega)$, and so has bounded resolvents and bounded functional calculi. I shall discuss the question as to when the resolvents and functional calculi are bounded in $L^p(\Omega)$ for some range of values of $p \in (p_H,p^H)$, where $p_H < 2 < p^H$.
Hyperbolic equations are rarely studied in $L^p$-spaces. One reason for this is that even standard hyperbolic equations like the wave equation are mostly ill-posed in $L^p$. This can be proven by using a multiplier theorem introduced by Hörmander in 1960 which gives a necessary condition for functions of the form $\xi\mapsto e^{i\phi(\xi)}$ being $L^p$-multipliers. We will use this theorem in order to show ill-posedness results for some Schrödinger type and some hyperbolic equations in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$, including the one for the wave equation for $n\geq2$. As a motivation, we will also present some results on the thermoelastic plate equation, a system which fails to be parabolic for most parameters. The terms causing the lack of parabolicity lead to the $L^p$-theory for hyperbolic equations and will be studied in a detailed way. The square of the Hodge--Dirac operator is the Hodge--Laplacian $\Delta_H={D_H}^2$, so it has a bounded functional calculus for the same range of values as $D_H$. But an operator such as the Hodge--Stokes operator, which is the restriction of $\Delta_H$ to a subspace such as the divergence free vector fields, can have a bounded functional calculus on a larger range of values of $p$. I shall discuss recent joint research with Sylvie Monniaux (Marseille) on this topic.
In numerical analysis for stochastic differential equations, a general rule of thumb
is that the optimal weak convergence rate of a numerical scheme
is twice as large as the optimal strong convergence rate. However, for
SPDEs the optimal weak convergence rate is difficult to establish
theoretically. Recently, progress was been made by Jentzen, Kurniawan and Welti
for semi-linear SPDEs using the so-called mild Itô formula. We consider this
approach for wave equations, and discuss the necessity of extending the theory
to the Banach space setting in order to obtain optimal rates when the
non-linear terms are given by Nemytskii operators.
Joint work with Arnulf Jentzen, Ryan Kurniawan, and Timo Welti
We consider non-autonomous evolutionary problems of the form
u' (t)+A(t)u(t)=f(t), \quad u(0)=u_0,
on $L^2([0,T];H)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space.
We do not assume that the domain of the operator $A(t)$ is constant in time $t$,
but that $A(t)$ is associated with a sesquilinear form $a(t)$.
Under sufficient time regularity of the forms $a(t)$ we prove well-posedness
with maximal regularity in $L^2([0,T];H)$.
Our regularity assumption is significantly weaker than those from previous results
inasmuch as we only require a fractional Sobolev regularity with arbitrary small Sobolev index.
Joint work with Rico Zacher
This talk will illustrate along the example of a nonlinear wave equation with periodic coefficients, how a classical dynamical systems technique such as center manifold reduction can be extended to settings that, at first sight, seem out of reach by solving an inverse spectral problem. This is joint work with C.E. Wayne.
We aim to explain how some dispersive properties on the Wave equations may imply some dispersive estimates for the Schrodinger group, as well as some Strichartz inequalities with a loss of derivatives. The framework will be very general, associated with a self-adjoint operator, generating a holomorphic semigroup with Gaussian pointwise estimates for its kernel. In such an abstract setting, there is no Fourier transform and we develop a Fourier analysis based on the semigroup. Mainly, we will define suitable Hardy and BMO spaces (built through the semigroup) to look for $H^1$-BMO dispersive estimates (instead of $L^1-L^{\infty}$ estimates as usual). This work is a collaboration with Valentin Samoyeau.
Coarse-graining or dimension reduction is the procedure of approximating a large and complex system by a simpler and lower-dimensional one. A key feature that allows for such an approximation is a choice to consider only part of information by means of a coarse-graining map F that is strongly many-to-one. Assuming that the configuration of the full system is governed by a stochastic differential equation, for, say, a random variable X (representing for instance the position of particles in the system), Gyöngy postulated an "effective" evolution equation for the reduced (coarse-grained) variable F(X), which is again a stochastic differential equation with coefficients derived from the full one. This 'effective' equation is an approximation of the true evolution of F(X), and Legoll and Lelièvre showed in the case of one-dimensional coarse-graining maps F how to estimate the error of this approximation in the relative-entropy sense.
In this work we generalize this result in two ways: first, we extend the estimate to multidimensional maps F, and secondly, we also measure the error in the second-order Wasserstein distance. This second estimate is a weaker measure of the error, but also requires weaker conditions on the system.
This is joint work with A. Lamacz, M.H. Duong, A. Schlichting, and U. Sharma.
We will overview the dynamics of critical fluctuations for some versions of mean-field Ising and Kuramoto model. We will characterise how the microscopic Markovian evolution fluctuates around its macroscopic deterministic limit when the system is at the critical point and the volume becomes infinite. As the models mentioned above exhibit different bifurcation points, we will point out how critical fluctuations modify according to various kinds of phase transition. This is a joint work with Paolo Dai Pra and Daniele Tovazzi.
Moving boundary problems allow for modeling of multi-phase systems with separating boundaries evolving in time. While the deterministic problems are, in general, well understood, introducing additional stochastic terms to the equations makes the analysis more complicated. Motivated from applications in finance, as models for demand, supply and price formation in electronic stock markets, we study a class of stochastic second-order PDEs with non-linear Stefan-type boundary interaction. Applying Ito-Wentzell formula, the problem can be transformed into a stochastic evolution equation, where the boundary interaction introduces additional drift and noise terms. We use regularity properties of the linear term in the equation to establish local existence and uniqueness results. This provides a framework for further analysis of this class of semilinear stochastic moving boundary problems.
Hyperbolic equations are rarely studied in $L^p$-spaces. One reason for this is that even standard hyperbolic equations like the wave equation are mostly ill-posed in $L^p$. This can be proven by using a multiplier theorem introduced by Hörmander in 1960 which gives a necessary condition for functions of the form $\xi\mapsto e^{i\phi(\xi)}$ being $L^p$-multipliers. We will use this theorem in order to show ill-posedness results for some Schrödinger type and some hyperbolic equations in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$, including the one for the wave equation for $n\geq2$. As a motivation, we will also present some results on the thermoelastic plate equation, a system which fails to be parabolic for most parameters. The terms causing the lack of parabolicity lead to the $L^p$-theory for hyperbolic equations and will be studied in a detailed way.
One-dimensional branching Brownian motion has been the subject of intensive research during the last decades. We consider branching random walk and investigate the setting of a spatially random branching environment; in particular we are interested in the positions of (the median of) the maximal particle as well as the so-called 'breakpoint'. On an analytic level, this corresponds to investigating the fronts of the solutions to a randomized Fisher-KPP equation and to the parabolic Anderson model, as well as their relative backlog.
The symbiotic branching model describes two interacting spatial populations whose evolution is given by a system of correlated SPDEs. I will first introduce the model and its basic features, which include a competition between dispersal and smoothening of population densities by migration and and inter-species competition due to the symbiotic branching. Macroscopically the populations become separated, which we study in more detail by sending the branching rate to infinity. In the special case of perfectly anticorrelated noise, which is related to the stepping stone model, we will fully describe the solution, which is given by a system of annihilating Brownian motions. Joint work Marcel Ortgiese (WWU Münster) and Matthias Hammer (TU Berlin).
In this talk we will discuss recent developments in the theory of polynomial inequalities with weights. An overview of the problem will be given. The talk does not require any prior knowledge of this topic.
Modular forms play an important role in many areas of mathematics, such as number theory, algebraic geometry, and harmonic analysis. There exist many different types of modular forms; in this talk we shall only give a basic introduction into the subject and mainly discuss holomorphic modular forms of level 1. These are holomorphic functions on the complex upper half-plane that satisfy certain symmetry conditions with respect to fractional linear transformations. The Fourier coefficients of these functions turn out to have remarkable properties, some of which are highly nontrivial to prove.
It is well-known that the distribution of a solution of a stochastic differential equation satisfies a weak parabolic equation (so called Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck equation). Equations of the same type arise independently in statistical mechanics and physics, for example, such as Vlasov equations. However, relatively few results concerning general equations are known. In this talk a Cauchy problem for a parabolic equation in the space of probability measures with a rather general dependence of the coefficients on the solution will be considered. An analytic approach to the study of the well-posedness of this problem for unbounded coefficients will be discussed.
In this talk we present Burkholder-Davis-Gundy-type inequalities for stochastic integrals with respect to a local cylindrical continuous martingale in UMD Banach spaces. These results generalize similar results for a cylindrical Brownian motions and for one-dimensional continuous local martingales. In particular we developed a concept of a quadratic variation of a local cylindrical continuous martingale. Using these inequalities we also derive existence and uniqueness assertions for solutions of corresponding SPDE's. The talk is based on joint work with Mark Veraar.
In this talk we consider second order parabolic partial differential equations with multiplicative Dirichlet boundary noise. Following Schnaubelt and Veraar on the Neumann case, we reformulate the boundary noise term as a perturbation of a stochastic evolution equation with values in extrapolation spaces. We establish existence and uniqueness of mild and weak solutions in weighted Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. Contrary to the case of additive Dirichlet boundary noise, in the multiplicative case solutions had not been obtained before.

An immediate temporary burning ban in Tunkhannock Township was approved Wednesday night by the township supervisors.
Tunkhannock Fire Chief Byron Witt asked for the ban, pointing to dangers posed by scrub oak when they blossom in the spring.
"When they start to bud there's an oil on them that starts to burn pretty good," Witt said.
Springtime fires are a constant concern, Supervisor George Ewald said.
"We've had some bad fires in the past," Ewald said.
Witt noted a 1992 Memorial Day weekend fire that burned acres of scrub oak and grass in Sierra View community. There are a lot more homes there today than in 1992, he added.
No-burning signs will be posted immediately, Witt said. The fire department will ask supervisors to lift the ban after all the seasonal trees, shrubs and other ground cover turns green.

Both central defenders are nursing knee injuries following the 2-2 draw against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
O'Brien has been troubled by discomfort in his knee in recent weeks. He was named in the starting XI at Hillsborough but pulled out during the warm-up.
Derby turned to Buxton, who had not played in nine weeks due to knee ligament damage. He managed to get through the 90 minutes but tweaked the same knee that had kept him out.
James O'Connor, who can play anywhere along the back four, would usually come in and deputise but he is definitely out with a knee injury of his own.
Manager Nigel Clough hopes one of the injured defenders can emerge from the treatment room as the Rams look to extend their three-match unbeaten league run.
"We're not sure who will play centre-half with Richard Keogh at this moment," said Clough. "Jake has tweaked his knee again, the same knee he has been out with, and so between him and Mark O'Brien we are not sure who will make it. Jimmy O'Connor will not be right for Tuesday."
If Clough finds himself short, he could switch John Brayford from right-back and bring in Kieron Freeman.
Valentin Gjokaj, who has yet to start a first-team game, was on the bench on Saturday and is an option, along with fellow youngster Tom Naylor who is back at Pride Park following his three-month loan spell at Bradford.
Elsewhere, forward Jamie Ward is expected to be fit despite coming off towards the end against Wednesday due to cramp in his calves.

Olga gives a woman's perspective on if she thinks MMA is too violent.
Hide / Show Transcript ( + / - )
Hello. My name is Olga. I'm from Mexico. The question is is MMA too violent?
Well, before I thought it was but once I saw what it was and, you know, I started watching the fights, I realized it's not that violent as people say because most of the time, you know, they're just lying there on the floor and, you know, hurting each other so it's kind of like you don't see as much punches and kicks as people say no? Actually, it's a sport where you have to use your head like you have to think about how to get free from your opponent and, you know, how to develop a good strategy to win. So it's kind of more sophisticated sport than everyone thinks.

Maccabi leads the league in blocked shots with 4.5 per game.
Yogev Ohayon and Ricky Hickman are the only two Maccabi players to have started every Euroleague game this season.
David Logan has made at least 1 three-pointer in each of his last 15 Euroleague games; Logan is shooting 36 for 79 from downtown (45.6%) over that period. He has 11 games with multiple three-pointers in that stretch.
Shawn James has blocked at least 1 shot in eight straight Euroleague games. He is the Top 16 leader with 2.3 blocks per game.
Devin Smith has made 11 consecutive free throws in Euroleague action.
Smith played alongside Besiktas players Gasper Vidmar and Serhat Cetin during the 2008-09 season at Fenerbahce Ulker.
Nik Caner-Medley scored a season-high 12 points on 3-for-3 three-point shooting against Besiktas JK when they met in Istanbul in January.
Besiktas has committed more turnovers (323) this season than any other team in the league.
Coach Erman Kunter has used a total of 13 different players in the starting lineup this season.
Gasper Vidmar is ranked last among 84 qualified players in free throw shooting this season at 34.02%.
Fikret Can Akin is a perfect 9 for 9 from the free throw line this season.
Ricky Minard has made at least 1 steal in nine straight Euroleague games.
Damir Markota has made 9 straight free throws in Euroleague action.
Dan Ewing was a teammate of Maccabi Electra guard David Logan at Asseco Prokom between 2008 and 2010. Together they helped Prokom win back-to-back Polish League titles and reach the Euroleague playoffs for the first time in 2010.
Maccabi Electra dominated Besiktas JK Istanbul 101-58 at Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv on Thursday night for its sixth straight victory. The Israeli champs set and tied Top 16 records with a thorough performance in climbing to 8-5 in the Top 16 Group F standings and edging closer to a playoff berth. In fact, Maccabi could find itself in the playoffs by the end of the week, but will need other results to go its way Friday. Maccabi led by 18 after 10 minutes, 34 at halftime and 56 through three quarters in a game that was never in doubt. The final margin of victory, 43, tied for the largest ever in a Top 16 game, first set by Tau Ceramica Vitoria in a 99-56 victory over Lottomatica Roma in 2007. The difference at halftime set a new Top 16 mark for largest lead at the break, which had belonged to Barcelona Regal, which led Fenerbahce Ulker 19-50 earlier this season. Maccabi finished the game with a team performance index rating of 143, which is also the most in Top 16 history, eclipsing the 138 of Vitoria against Milano in 2009. Ricky Hickman and Devin Smith scored 16 points apiece to lead five Maccabi scorers in double figures. Nik Caner-Medley added 15 points, Darko Planinic scored 14 and Sylven Landesberg 10 for the hosts. Ricky Minard led Besiktas with 12 points in defeat.
Dan Ewing, back after missing several games with a knee injury, sank a jumper to open the scoring. Smith followed with a triple for the hosts. Shawn James followed with a tip-in and despite a bucket from Minard, Caner-Medley heated up. First he sank a three, then a basket inside and after James and Gasper Vidmar traded baskets, Caner-Medley continued his assault on the highlight producers. He grabbed a rebound and finished a fast-break with a layup, which rolled all around the rim and in, and foul. Then a Caner-Medley steal resulted in a high-flying rim-rocking slam that jolted the arena. Soon Yogev Ohayon added a three-pointer and Smith scored on the break to cap a 13-0 run that made it 23-6. Damir Markota ended the Besiktas drought from the line. Smith and Caner-Medley kept the crowd involved with a pair of blocks. Four Hickman points from Hickman sandwiched 2 from Minard to lift the hosts a 29-11 lead after 10 minutes.
Serhat Cetin tried to inspire the visitors with the first points of the second quarter, but a Guy Pnini triple kept the Maccabi fans singing. Landesberg took the hosts' lead past the 20-point mark and all the way to 25 with 6 points in a row. A Caner-Medley three made it 41-13. Cetin hit back from downtown only to see Hickman, Landesberg and James extend the difference to 30+ points. Tutku Acik got involved with a long jumper for the guests. Hickman, Smith and James combined for 7 more Maccabi points. Cemal Nalga split free throws and Patrick Christopher dropped in a three to keep Besiktas afloat. Cevher Ozer added a triple to make it 57-25. Nalga dunked, but a Moran Roth layup left the hosts ahead 61-27 at halftime.
Hickman heaved in an off-balance three to beat the 24-second shot clock at the start of the second half to show the magic had not left the hosts. Ohayon created space for a Planinic slam; another Ohayon-to-Planinic move took the lead past 40. Muratcan Guler sank a triple to end a 9-0 Maccabi run. Vidmar and Minard hit back with baskets, but Maccabi continued to roll as David Logan became the 10th Maccabi player to score. Vidmar remained strong inside, but after a Hickman triple, the lead surpassed 50 points: 86-35. Logan nailed a three on the third quarter buzzer to make it 91-35.
Baris Hersek and Minard helped trim the gap a bit and Acik fired in a three. Nalga scored inside to make it 95-45. Minard added a slam as Maccabi eased up. Planinic had the honor of taking Maccabi past the triple-digit mark, 101-53. Even in the closing minutes, the fans had something to cheer for; they hoped to see teenager Itay Segev score his first Euroleague points, but alas time ran out before he got his bucket and everyone left satisfied with an impressive overall performance.

Oasis steam showers never said that their steam showers were superior to Ariel Platinum because they are in fact the same units. Also the only website that sells Oasis steam showers is http://www.bathroomgetaways.com/oasis-platinum-steam-showers-cat.html notice that the title of each product is "Oasis Platinum XXX steam shower by Ariel".
If you have any questions or concerns about the Oasis Platinum Steam shower you recently ordered up please feel free to give Bathroomgetaways.com a call.

Hi, can I select a category, and have that sidebar show up for all post under that category? Or, do I have to select Each post individually?
I selected the categories however, I do not see the sidebar.
Hi, can I select a category, and have that sidebar show up for all post under that category? Or, do I have to select Each post individually?
I selected the categories however, I do not see the sidebar.
Just as a slight update...when I check the option "Show With All Post" They do appear...I'm not sure if I am supposed to do that. or what the results would be if I select that option for all my sidebars, that are category based.
Another update, I notice the problem when I check a Page and a category, for the sidebar.
If I do not select a page, then the sidebar will show up with the categories, and posts within that category.
Is there a way to select, Category, Page, and have the sidebar show up, for posts? Other than selecting "show with all posts"?
Sorry for all the msgs in a row, I thought I would just keep everyone updated on my progress.
I know that the documentation for the plugin is quite bad, but it's nice to see you play around with it.
The thing is that all selected rules will be dependent on each other (if the content allow it). Therefore, the reason your sidebar didn't show up with your first settings, is:
You want the sidebar to be shown with a page that contains some categories - this rule can only be fulfilled on pages, because pages (normally) don't support categories, and the categories will therefore be neglected.
Your second choice of settings was correct, as:
You want the plugin to be shown with a page and all posts that contain some categories.
If this is not what you want, please tell me where you want the sidebar to show up, and I'll (hopefully) make it happen.
Hey thanks for the reply. The plugin is excellent! The 2nd option is pretty much what I am looking for.
So it will basically satisfy the condition, if post_in_category.
Thanks for getting back so quickly. I can proceed now. Cheers!
Yes, it will satisfy that condition. If you don't want it to show up on archive pages, just set Exposure: Singular.
I'm not sure if the selected rules can appear in an archive page though, but better to be sure.
I think I have a similar problem. I would like to associate my sidebar to all posts belonging to a specific category. i tried to select the sepcific category in the sidebar settings but the sidebar didn't show up?

By By PFC Phillip Adam Turner, Assistant Indianhead EditorFebruary 5, 2008
Just as a Fortune 500 company would hire consultants outside of its business to come in and evaluate spending and employee performance to save money, the Army uses professional observer/controllers to evaluate a unit's wartime mission capabilities to save time, supplies and lives.
Approximately 1,000 Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 38th Field Artillery Regiment and the 70th Brigade Support Battalion are directly involved in a current External Evaluation that ends on Jan. 20.
"These EXEVALS are the most important thing we do during the course of the year," said Maj. Anthony Demasi, executive officer, 1st Bn., 38th FA. "It gives us all a chance to not only see and evaluate our weaknesses, but see the things we do well and build on them."
Experience and a lot of planning play a big role in the success of these units' performance. With many Soldiers coming straight out of Advanced Individual Training, it is up to noncommissioned officers to prepare and sustain their Soldiers' morale in the field.
"Morale is great right now," said 1st Sgt. Blake A. Kennedy, 1st Bn., 38th FA. "But it is up to me and my supporting staff to ensure that they understand how to combat cold weather injuries and battle the elements."
During these EXEVALS, the OCs will shadow their counterparts to be an extra set of eyes that will see the things that can be overlooked in the course of combat operations, said Demasi.
The OCs are Soldiers themselves and know the pressures of running an operation. That's why they have been brought in to evaluate and strengthen our combat capabilities, he said.
The 70th BSB's mission is to keep supply lines open and provide all the support the 1-38th FA will need to be successful. From fuel to ammunition and communications to hot chow, the Soldiers of the 70th BSB are essential in the success of these EXEVALS.
Capt. Jason O. Luckey, 579th Signal Company commander said, "70th BSB's role is very important; we supply the Multiple Launch Rocket Systems with ammunition, spare parts, as well as different logistical aspects that keep us in the fight."
Any time a unit travels to the field, the day-to-day operations of each individual Soldier can change. This aspect of the training brings the oppurtunity to learn more than just how to combat cold weather injuries.
"These EXEVALS bring about a good oppurtunity for our younger Soldiers to learn the daily operations of the unit and their job in a combat environment," said Kennedy.
"My main goal, as well as for the people around me is to come out of this with more confidence and with a knowledge of what our personal strengths and weaknesses are as junior enlisted Soldiers," said Spc. Rodney Moses, acting NCOIC for 70th BSB S-2.

I ended up with a 16,000 dollar bill hoping I would be able to put my knowledge to use.
What I ended up with was a certificate that cost me 16,000 dollars. No place wants to hire me based on UEI history and the fact that they have lost their accreditation. When you try calling the school to help out with job placement like they say they do its no help at all. So here I am with 4 kids and a 16,000 dollar bill for schooling in which they never kept their end of the bargain. I would love for those bills to just go away and UEI should pay for them in FULL. Due to the lack of upkeep on their end of the contract. I wasted so much time and money for no reason. I feel USED! Thank you UEI for all your FALSE ADVERTISMENT...and sucking me out of 16 GRAND that I didn't have in the first place. Now I won't be able to get a job and I have to pay that all BACK. I guess the JOKES on me in the end! How many others got dragged down by this???

Jubak's Picks portfolio returned 19.7% for all of 2013
For all of 2013 my 12-18 month Jubak's Picks portfolio http://jubakpicks.com/the-jubak-picks/ returned—that's appreciation plus dividends—19.66%. In 2013 the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index returned 32.39%. By quarter the returns on the portfolio were 4.22% for the first quarter, a loss of 1.06% in the second quarter, a positive 8.98% in the third quarter, and 6.48% in the fourth quarter.
With the 19.66% return in 2013, the total return on Jubak's Picks since inception in May 1997 through the end of 2013 is 420%. The total return on the S&P 500 index for the same period is 192%.
Studying these results—and trying to understand how the year could have been better—during the current scary rout in emerging and other global markets reminds me of the important difference between conclusions and lessons.
Looking at my numbers, I can conclude that my returns would have been higher if I hadn't carried so much cash all year long. My cash position at the end of each quarter in this portfolio averaged 30% with a high of 34.59% at the end of the June quarter and a low of 23.51% at the end of the December quarter. My coulda, woulda, shoulda calculation shows that if I had invested all of the portfolio at the same return that I earned on the 70% of the portfolio that was invested, the total return for the year would have been 29.62%. Of course, I can't take that 29.62% to the bank—but this calculation is nonetheless important: It tells me that the major "mistake" I made in 2013 wasn't in the stocks I picked but in the cash I held.
Other conclusions?
In 2013 the portfolio would have shown a higher return if I never sold anything (or at least almost nothing) on valuation or on fundamentals. For example, I sold Johnson Controls (JCI) on June 27 at $37.19 for a 47.23% gain since my purchase. But then the stock, which I called fully valued given the softness in its environmental controls unit, climbed another 37.94% through December 31, 2013.
And it certainly didn't pay to sell battered stocks after an initial rally. For example I sold Yingli Green Energy (YGE) on July 31, 2013 at $3.24 and I was glad to get out of the battered Chinese solar stock 90.59% above the April 3 low of $1.70 a share even if I had bought the shares at $10.76 back in November 2010. The solar sector wasn't seeing a significant increase in prices because so little capacity was being taken out of production by bankruptcy or consolidation. And then, of course, shares of Yingli Green Energy proceeded to gain another 55.86% through December 31, 2013
So looking backward at 2013, I'd have to conclude that the best thing to have done was to go all in—no cash on the sideline—to forget about valuation and fundamentals, and to never sell.
Are those conclusions useful lessons for 2014?
In most ways not.
Oh, if we hit another monster rising-tides-lift-all-boats rally based on something so powerful as a tsunami of central bank cash, then I think you'll be well advised to remember my conclusions about 2013 and apply them as lessons to the market of 20XX. If you think you've absolutely identified a new market that is close to identical with the market of 2013, then yes, you should go all in, play the momentum of cash flows, and to the devil with fundamentals and valuations.
If you've been in the markets for a while, you'll recognize how profitable that strategy can be if you correctly characterize the market, and how difficult and potentially dangerous getting the timing wrong can be. I remember very vividly throwing valuation to the winds in 1999, a year when the NASDAQ Composite Index returned 85.6%. Jubak's Picks actually beat the index that year. And next year, when the NASDAQ Composite lost 39.3%, my portfolio beat the index again—to the downside.
Getting this kind of big picture market call is hard—and to make it pay you have to get it right on the upside and on the downside—and there's definitely a price to pay on the downside for deciding that you can ignore valuations and fundamentals because the momentum is strong enough.
Going into 2014, it's hard for me to argue that the momentum that drove the market up in 2013 will be as strong as it was last year. The Federal Reserve is reducing the new cash that it throws at financial assets—and that's a big deal since the Fed's monetary stimulus was a key to asset performance in 2013.
Looking back at 2013, I do remember gradually relaxing my valuation and fundamental standards as the year rolled on. In retrospect, I wish I'd relaxed them sooner and that the performance of the portfolio came closer to the S&P 500 index. But while I relaxed those standards—stretching for a target price, for example, because I didn't want to too early sell into last year's momentum—I didn't abandon them. That certainly cost me some return in the short run.
Going forward, though, I don't see any reason to pay less attention to fundamentals and valuations in 2014 than I did in 2013. I think it's still likely that we'll have a decent year in 2014, but, as the first weeks of the year demonstrate, performance in 2014 is likely to come with more downside risk than in 2013. If only because 2013 moved stock prices up to historic highs. And when the risk is higher and the potential gains likely to be more modest, I think it's a good time to remember proven lessons rather than to get fixated on the conclusions from the immediately prior year.
On January 14 I announced that I would rebalance the portfolio—I decided that in order to keep the portfolio down to a manageable number of stocks, I would increase the size of each position from $12,000 at the initial buy to $14,000. To accomplish that I added $2,000 in shares to each position at the January 14 closing price. That reduced the cash position in the portfolio to 12.73% from 23.51% at the end of December.
Full disclosure: I don't own shares of any of the companies mentioned in this post in my personal portfolio. When in 2010 I started the mutual fund I manage, Jubak Global Equity Fund http://jubakfund.com/, I liquidated all my individual stock holdings and put the money into the fund. The fund may or may not now own positions in any stock mentioned in this post. The fund did not own shares of any stock mentioned in this post as of the end of December. For a full list of the stocks in the fund see the fund's portfolio at http://jubakfund.com/about-the-fund/holdings/.
