DOHA: Having seized huge quantities of expired beauty products from a large number of beauty salons across the country, the state consumer rights watchdog has drawn up a plan to discipline the outlets and make them comply with rules.
The Consumer Protection Department (CPD) of the Ministry of Economy and Commerce is setting up a crack team of women inspectors to keep a vigil on beauty salons all over Qatar.
The CPD said that last week its inspectors mounted raids on 191 beauty parlours all over the country and detected as many as 50 violations.
The inspections were meant to check the quality of the services of these outlets and the products they use, according to the CPD.
"We took samples of beauty products from suspected outlets and sent them all for laboratory tests. The tests showed that all the samples were of expired items," the economy ministry said in a press statement issued yesterday.
It is dangerous to use expired facial, skin, body and haircare products on customers, said the CPD, adding that it had initiated legal action against the erring salons.
Large stocks of shampoo, creams and other cosmetic products stocked up by the erring salons for use on customers were found to be expired.
"Imagine, they were applying such expired and substandard products on the faces and skin of customers. It is so dangerous to do this," the CPD said.
According to the release, customer complaints were galore and that forced the department to mount the large-scale raids on the parlours in the past week.
Beauty parlours charge customers so much money and yet many of them use substandard, at times counterfeit and expired, products, said the CPD.
The violating parlours have been booked under Article 8 of Law Number 8 of 2008, which provides for punishing outlets that use expired or counterfeit products.
The release said that the economy ministry had drawn up a plan that included making a list of beauty parlours that are found repeating violations.
The plan also includes providing intensive training to female inspectors so that they keep constant and close vigil on the parlours.
They would be conducting a raid on a beauty parlour as soon as a customer complaint is received. The CPD said people can call and lodge complaints on its dedicated hotline (number 8005000).
"This is the most effective way to make sure that these outlets are disciplined. Legal action would be taken against them," said the release.

What materials did you use? The body is a chained linen and viscose yarn. The trim is Knit Picks Cotlin.
What are you most proud of? The fit. My math skills aren't my strong suit, but Stephanie Japel makes it doable.
Good advice about learning the math! The sweater fits so well, and looks very stylish. Congratulations!
Lovely sweater. I love the stripes in this.
Because I did not want the stripes to be noticeably in matched, I decided to reverse the direction of the yarn each time I started a new ball. So if the previous ball was brown-tan-blue, then the next ball I joined was blue-tan-brown and so forth. I liked the effect.
Lovely sweater!..I'm very petite too so its encouraging to see such a lovely design..

Home to a mix of Hollywood execs, celebrities, surfers, skaters and young eco-conscious professionals, the coastal resort of Santa Monica is just 10 miles north of Los Angeles International Airport and our favourite place to stay when in town.
Not only is this city-by-the-sea blessed with near-perfect weather and a phenomenal stretch of sand, it's the ideal starting point for trips up north along the Pacific Coast Highway and an excellent base for exploring metropolitan L.A. But we mostly just love Santa Monica for what it is: a laid back beach town with a sophisticated urban edge. If you're looking for the quintessential Southern California lifestyle, this is exactly where you'll find it.
What to see and do
Beach and outdoors
The vast expanse of state beach is the city's own backyard and a major pull for visitors. Wide sands, pale blue lifeguard huts, volleyball courts and rolling surf create the perfect California vibe, backed by the South Bay Bicycle Trail – the world's longest beach path – running north towards Malibu and as far as Torrance to the south. Rent bikes (or rollerblades!) from Perry's Cafe on the beach, or from the slick new Santa Monica Bike Center on 2nd Street, who also offer a selection of guided or self-guided tours.
Don't miss the Annenberg Community Beach House just north of the Fairmont Miramar hotel. Opened in 2009, this brilliant beachfront facility is the only no-membership public beach house in the United States and hosts a packed calendar of cultural events and art exhibits in addition to its super-sized pool and sun deck, children's play area, cafe, viewing deck and yoga classes.
Fun attractions
At the end of Colorado Avenue you'll find the entrance to one of Southern California's finest vintage seaside piers, now more than a century old. Santa Monica Pier is the biggest draw in town, visible for miles along the coast thanks to its famous LED-lit ferris wheel, the first in the world to be solar-powered.
The wheel itself forms part of Pacific Park, a small amusement park housed entirely on the pier; there's also an old-fashioned arcade, a trapeze school and a classic 1920s wooden carousel for nostalgia-seekers.
Art and culture
Santa Monica is big on art and does everything it can to make it accessible to all. Yes, there's the usual array of galleries and museums – more than 60 of them are scattered across the city, including the excellent collection at Bergamot Station Arts Center, the Frank Gehry-designed Santa Monica Museum of Art and the Ten Women co-operatives on Main Street and Montana Avenue. But what gives the city's art scene its sparkle is an unwavering commitment to the creative economy, with major works of public art commissioned alongside the majority of development projects, including sculptures, murals, interactive and light installations, ceramics and photography.
For cultural pursuits of the performance variety, head straight to the Promenade Playhouse on Third Street Promenade, which hosts indie, mainstream and comedy productions, or to the Santa Monica Playhouse for family-friendly shows and musicals. Classic pre-war movie theatres are also a feature of Third Street, including the Criterion and Aero Theatre. Music fans shouldn't miss the chance to experience one of the live acoustic concerts in the intimate, pared-down setting of McCabe's Guitar Shop on Pico Boulevard, or catch some late-night blues, jazz and soul at Harvelle's.
Where to stay
Genuine budget options are somewhat hard to come by, but there are a couple of standouts. 1950s stalwart Ocean Lodge has an Ocean Avenue address with clean, air-conditioned rooms from $US120, while Seaview Hotel just a stone's throw from the pier has newly-renovated rooms from $US88. Retro courtyard-style Seashore Motel is two blocks back from the beach but a good choice for the great shopping, restaurants and coffee shops along Main Street – standard rooms from $US110.
One block from the pier, the Holiday Inn Santa Monica Beach has recently had a facelift and its spacious rooms and decent pool are a good option for families. Expect to pay around $US215 for a standard double room. Ivy-clad Hotel California has direct ocean access, a pleasant Spanish-style garden and bright, modern rooms with fridges, free wi-fi and flatscreen TVs from $US219.
Ocean View Hotel doesn't have the prettiest of exteriors, but the prime location, large sun-filled rooms and sunset views more than make up for it. Courtyard rooms start from $US219, Ocean View rooms from $US259. If you're after good looks, then make a beeline for The Georgian. This handsome turquoise-and-gold Art Deco hotel is bang opposite the beach and oozes 1920s vintage charm – rooms from $US254.
Santa Monica is not short on top-notch hotels, with high-end rates to match. The grand Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows occupies a premier spot among tropical gardens on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Ocean Avenue, with king-sized rooms in the ten-storey Ocean Tower starting from $US359. Shutters on the Beach is a beautiful Cape-Cod style property opening out directly onto the sand. Truly relaxing, the hotel is more of a retreat than others in town, with calm beach house-style rooms from $US625, though promotional offers are often available. All rooms have balconies.
Gleaming glass-and-steel Shore Hotel on Ocean Avenue opened in October 2011 and has quickly won accolades with its contemporary styling and sustainable approach. Rooms start from $US365, with packages from $US299 at certain times of year. There's a round-the-clock buzz at Viceroy Santa Monica which wows guests with its emerald green and dove grey colour scheme, secret nooks and crannies and elegant poolside cabanas. City view rooms start from $US348*
Dining and shopping
Downtown and Third Street Promenade
Santa Monica's Downtown has long been considered one of the best in America, with its varied concentration of shops and restaurants soon to become even more accessible when the EXPO Light Rail arrives in 2015 to connect it to Downtown Los Angeles.
Third Street Promenade is the main drag for all the familiar faces of US retail, bookended at the southern end by upscale open-air mall Santa Monica Place, with the high-fashion boutiques of Fred Segal two further blocks away. There's more to Downtown than Third Street however – head slightly further afield for gems like Hennessey + Ingalls art bookstore on Wilshire Boulevard, recycled fashion boutique Crossroads Trading on Fourth Street, and men's streetwear emporium The Hundreds on Broadway – and don't miss the twice-weekly Farmers Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Most types of cuisine are well-represented in Downtown; try Border Grill for a contemporary Mexican menu and great pisco sours or Hillstone for classic American burgers, pork ribs and salads. Innovative small-plate hotspot Tar & Roses opened early last year to wide acclaim, but be sure to book as far ahead as you can.
Main Street
One block back from the beach, Main Street is the eco-conscious heart of already progressive Santa Monica. Along with a sizeable collection of designer boutiques and vintage stores, many of Main Street's businesses come with a 'local', 'natural' or 'green' label as standard, and have done for many years. Check out Vital Hemp and Natural High Lifestyle for natural-fibre clothing and Mindfulnest for great accessories and gifts. There's no shortage of coffee shops and juice joints either; we like Urth Caffe and Dogtown Coffee's organic roasts, and Main Squeeze's extensive range of cold pressed juices and smoothies.
Dining-wise, Main Street runs the gamut from the green and healthy to the truly indulgent. Celebrity-favourite Euphoria loves Rawvolution is one of L.A's leading lights in the rawfood movement, or at the other end of the spectrum try highly-regarded Lula Cocina for plates of superb, piled-high Mexican cuisine. Wolfgang Puck's Asian fusion fine-dining Chinois on Main is the place to book for special occasions. There's also a weekly Farmers Market with a street-festival vibe every Sunday.
Montana Avenue
Slightly further north, Montana Avenue is a posh tree-lined street with a residential feel, full of independent boutiques, bars, cafes, art galleries, bakeries, spas and gift stores. The ten block stretch between 7th and 17th streets is the main commercial district, not to mention the likeliest place in Santa Monica to spot a Hollywood celebrity or two.
Virgin Atlantic operates two daily flights to Los Angeles from London Heathrow.

Its a great pleasure to announce Weekend Herb Blogging event being hosted in my blog, during the week August 18 - August 24. Fondly referred as WHB, is a wonderful event started by Kalyn. In her own words, its an event in which "bloggers around the world photograph and write about herbs, plants, or veggies, and on the weekend, we publish a Recap with links to all the posts."
Ever since knowing this event, I have participated every week. And every time I have learnt new things on the ingredient I was focusing. Even if it was as common as Fenugreek leaves, I got to know new facts.
Ok, here are some rules for the event:
All entries should be "limited to recipes or informative posts where people can learn about cooking with herbs or unusual plant ingredients."
Other rules to remember!
1. Entries submitted for Weekend Herb Blogging need to be posts written during that week specifically for Weekend Herb Blogging and that post cannot be entered in any other food blog event. (The only exception to this rule would be instances where a photo used in a WHB post is submitted to a photo event.) To keep the event manageable, each participant is limited to one entry per week, and entries cannot contain more than one recipe.
2. Weekend Herb Blogging entries should have the goal of helping people learn about cooking with herbs or unusual plant ingredients. With this in mind, only two types of entries will be accepted: a) Recipe posts where an herb or unusual plant ingredient is one of the primary ingredients in the recipe, or b) Informative posts that spotlight one herb or unusual plant ingredient, particularly including information about how it is used in cooking.
3. Entries must contain the words "Weekend Herb Blogging" with a link to this post, as well as a link to Kalyn's Kitchen.
4. Entries can be written any time during the week, but should be submitted to the host for that week by 3:00 P.M. on Sunday. (This is based on Utah time, enter Salt Lake City into this map to calculate the difference where you are.) At the discretion of the host, posts submitted too late will be referred to the host for the following week.
5. Please put WHB in the subject line of your e-mail to identify it for the host. Your e-mail to the host should include:
your name
blog title
your WHB post permalink
your location
a photo attached to the e-mail.
For more information about WHB, check out Kalyn's FAQ pages
So get ready and blog between August 18 - August 24 and mail you entries to cooking4allseasons[at]gmail[dot]com with the above information.
Hoping all my dear bloggers are ready for dishing out some classics ones, this coming week! I hope to do the roundup by IST Monday timings!

By Dorinda Scholly
In regard to the March 27 letter from Citizens Promoting Comstock, I would like to clarify that papers were signed on Feb. 16 transferring ownership of the building at 1046 River St. from BFG, Inc. to the Comstock Community Center.
The Community Learning Center was not given ownership, rather the building was purchased with stimulus loan funds (almost $2 million) from the United States Department of Agriculture. The loan is set up for special projects in rural communities. Comstock Township is classified as a rural community.
The Community Learning Center was set to open in January, but because of delays and jumping through hoops that the federal government placed before us, opening day is tentatively set for June 21.
The Community Learning Center will also house the Comstock Summer Fun Camp at the new location. The current location (on King Highway) of the Comstock Community Center will continue to offer programs for adults and senior citizens.
Mary Gustas and her staff continue to look for new ways to help fund the centers, rather than asking for increases in the millage.
In August, the voters will be asked to renew the millage for seniors. All funds for the Learning Center are from grants and/or loans. Mary and her team are extraordinary and should be given all the credit for moving this community forward.
Dorinda Scholly resides in Comstock.

General FAQ
Installation Questions
What's this about registration?
SourceTree is free, but we ask you to register it (for free, natch) after 30 days.
Can I use my license file from the Mac and Windows version on a different platform?
Yes, just click 'Import License' on the registration dialog and you can import your existing Mac license, it'll work fine.
Should I use HTTPS or SSH to clone repositories?
It's up to you; SourceTree supports both. HTTPS is easier to set up, and SourceTree will offer to save your passwords for you (encrypted of course), but SSH can be more convenient once you have keys set up.
Windows FAQ
What versions of Windows are supported?
SourceTree for Windows supports Windows 7 upwards.
How do I install SourceTree for Windows?
Download the setup program then run it. Accept any confirmation messages and wait for the download of any required components to complete. If you are on Windows 7 and have never installed .Net 4.5 before, you may be asked to reboot (Windows 8 comes with this pre-installed). You need administrator rights to install SourceTree but once installed any user can run it.
Visual C++ 2010's resource compiler is reporting a LNK1123 error after installing SourceTree, what happened?
This is a rare problem, most VC++ 2010 users don't encounter it, but Microsoft's .Net 4.5 runtime (which SourceTree depends on) can interfere with the VC++ 2010 resource compiler if you haven't installed Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1. The resolution is to simply install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 which fixes this issue. If you think you already have SP1 installed and still have this problem, you should reinstall SP1 because in very rare cases this is needed after .Net 4.5 is installed. More info is on Microsoft's Knowledge Base.
What are the other differences between the Mac version and the Windows version?
As at the time of writing (version 0.8b) the following features from the Mac version are missing from the Windows port:
- git-svn
- Binary file previews
- Listing & creating projects on Bitbucket, Stash and GitHub
- JIRA and other link parsing in commit messages
- Custom Actions
- Patch handling
- Probably lots of other little things!
But, we'll be working on these and will bring them to you as soon as we can!
Getting Started
How do I add my repositories to SourceTree?
Drag and drop existing repository folders from Explorer into the Bookmarks pane on the left of the window. Alternatively, click the 'Clone/New' toolbar button, where you can choose to clone repositories, add them from your local disk, or create brand new ones.
How do I view a repository?
Double-click a bookmark to open it - you can have as many repositories open at a time as you like in the tabbed interface. You can also use the File > Open menu if you want to open a repository without bookmarking it.
What are the different views in a repository?
There is an inner tab interface per repository with tabs at the bottom, labelled 'File Status', 'Log / History' and 'Search'. You can click to switch, or use Ctrl-1/2/3. The File Status view gives you the most space to review your current changes, the Log / History view shows you the full history of the project, but can also have an 'Uncommitted Changes' line to show your current changes in context, and the Search view is for digging into the history for specific changes.
All the views should automatically refresh when they detect filesystem changes, but you can manually refresh too.
How do I stage changes for commit?
You can do this many ways:
- Drag and drop files from the bottom 'Working Copy' pane of the file status view to the top 'Staged Changes' pane.
- Right-click files in the 'Working Copy' pane and select 'Add to index'
- In the diff view on the right, click 'Stage File' to stage the whole file, 'Stage Hunk' to stage just the changes in a single hunk, or select a range of lines and click 'Stage Selected Lines'
How do I set up SSH keys for authentication?
SourceTree uses the PuTTY suite of Windows-friendly SSH tools, here's how you get set up:
- If you already have a PuTTY key file (.ppk), skip to step 7
- From the SourceTree menu, select Tools > Create or Import SSH Keys
If you use Windows 8 and SmartScreen is enabled, PuTTYgen may be blocked. Click 'More Info' and then 'Run'
- If you already have an OpenSSH key (e.g. ~/.ssh/id_rsa)
- In the PuTTYgen menu, click Conversions > Import Key
- Browse to your OpenSSH private key, it's likely in %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\id_rsa
- This will import your OpenSSH key (you'll need to type its passphrase) for use with the PuTTY suite.
- Otherwise, you need to create a new key:
- Click 'Generate', then move your mouse randomly while it generates a key for you.
- Type in a long but memorable key passphrase in the 2 boxes supplied. This will protect your key file from others.
- Click 'Save Private Key' and save it somewhere you won't lose it
- Click 'Save Public Key' and save it in the same place
- To avoid typing the passphrase every time, you'll want to use the background agent to hold your keys, which is called 'Pageant'. You can launch this now from the SourceTree menu under Tools > Launch SSH Agent.

Few moments in Handel are as sternly chilling as his setting in Jephtha of Alexander Pope's maxim "Whatever is, is right". The chorus delivers the phrase in statuesque blocks, divided by frightening pauses, and Paul McCreesh's forces made it seem especially terrifying.
Handel's oratorio of grim fate nobly accepted provided a sober ending to the Barbican's Great Performers season. But whatever is, is right. The choral wing of the Gabrieli Consort & Players, reinforced by the wonderful Poles of the Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir, were towers of strength: forthright and fervent. So were the instrumentalists. And even when specks of doubt

MARTINSBURG - Berkeley County Animal Control officers removed two dead cats and seized four others after executing a search warrant Tuesday at a Berkeley County residence found to be covered in urine and feces.
The search warrant was executed by animal control officers and Berkeley County Sheriff's Department Lt. W.A. Johnson at 1105 Washington Ave. in Martinsburg.
Authorities sought the search warrant after Animal Control Officer E. Squires responded to a stray cats complaint Oct. 25 at the residence.
Squires spoke with a man, who identified himself as Bill Eaton, and he confirmed the cats were strays and that they were fed there, police said.
While standing on the porch, Squires saw into the hallway and noticed animal feces on the floor and smelled a very strong odor of urine. He tried to speak with the man inside but was not allowed in.
When the search warrant was executed, two people were discovered at the home, Thomas William Eaton and his wife. Reports of a third person residing at the home are still under investigation. Animal Control officers found two dead cats lying on the floor and removed four cats living among the filth and carcasses, police said.
The entire house, floors and walls were found covered with feces, urine, cobwebs, discarded food and garbage. Charges are currently pending, police said.
Man arraigned on burglary charge
MARTINSBURG - A Martinsburg man accused of breaking into a home in Berkeley County last month was arraigned Tuesday on one count of burglary.

According to court records, on Nov. 13, West Virginia State Trooper First Class J.J. Bowman responded to the victim's residence after a residential alarm was triggered.
Bowman found a rear window had been forced open and boards were missing from an exterior fence. Latent prints on the window sent to the West Virginia State Police forensic laboratory were matched to Stewart.
Man charged with domestic battery
MARTINSBURG - A Florida man who allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend at her apartment in Martinsburg Monday was arrested on charges of felony domestic battery third offense and burglary.
Ladiante Zachary Smith, 22, of Port St. Lucie, was being held at Eastern Regional Jail on $20,000 bail Tuesday.
According to court records, at about 2:41 p.m. Monday, Berkeley County Sheriff's Deputy M.L. Buracker responded to a report of a disturbance at the victim's apartment on Garden Drive.
The victim said she returned home to find her apartment unlocked. When she went inside, she said Smith was hiding in the shower and jumped out, slamming her to the floor and knocking her televisions over. She said Smith began to throw glass at her and put a hole in a wall.
Smith fled on foot but was later taken into custody.

FLINT, MI – Perhaps somewhere more than 1,000 miles south of Mt. Morris is Blueberry Card No. 821 – passing through Florida.
That is where a student from Mt. Morris' EA Johnson High School pooled money with four other people in their car to pay for toll fares along the Florida turnpike. It was just one of hundreds of random acts of kindness performed by student Blueberry Ambassadors, who come from 10 schools throughout Genesee County ranging from fourth-grade to high school.
"On the way back up to Michigan (after our break was over) we had over $40 left and we decided to really see how far this would go ... so we gave extra money for each toll booth and one card, while we explained to the toll booth operator the Blueberry Moment," the Mt. Morris student wrote about Blueberry Card No. 821. "I'm not sure how many people we were able to touch that day with that – but it was really easy and fun to do."
Now, The Flint Journal is looking to find out more about the Blueberry cards.
If you received a card, please let us know about your experience. Post a comment at the bottom of this post with the blueberry card number and a little bit about what transpired or email the information to email@example.com.
The Blueberry Ambassador program was started after Flint philanthropist and businessman Phil Shaltz used a billboard saying "I'm concerned about the blueberries" to send a message that all of us have the power to make our community a little bit better. The Flint Journal then partnered with Shaltz to push the movement forward by encouraging to share their stories and inspire others to spread the effort throughout the community.
Each student Ambassador — typically there were 10 at each school -- each pledged to perform two to four random acts of kindness and write about their efforts to help inspire others to do likewise.
Now, 10 schools are in the running for a $1,000 prize picked by a vote of MLive-Flint Journal readers. Read those stories and cast your vote here.

Baked Ham and Apples Recipe
WHEN Mother wanted to serve ham, she went to the smokehouse, took one down from the rafters and sliced off as much as was needed. The rest was hung up again. This recipe is great if you use real smoked ham with no water added. When Mother prepared it this way, the flavor was especially sweet and buttery. -Marjorie Schmidt, St. Marys, Ohio
- 2 fully cooked bone-in ham steaks (1 pound each)
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 medium tart apples
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Pepper to taste
- 1. Place ham in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Rub with mustard and sprinkle with brown sugar. Core apples and cut into 3/4-in. slices; arrange in a single layer over ham. Dot with butter and sprinkle with pepper.
- 2. Cover and bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325°; bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer or until apples are tender. Yield: 6-8 servings.

I need some help with a cable pattern!
Im on the eft front. I have had 8 rows of instructions each row is in 3 parts with a cable section in the middle. As I have gone along the cable section has gone row 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. The pattern now says
"Keeping the 24 rows of the cable panel correct work straight until the front measures 19cms."
Does this mean I start again at row 1 but now add the 9th rw of cable panel. Then row 2 adding 10th row of cable and so on.
Hope someone can understand and help as im really stuck!
Can you link to the pattern or give us it's name and where it's from?
Afraid its printed and quite old I think sunbeam outdoor arans the jumper
The cable pattern is a 24 row repeat and the other stitch panels are an 8 row repeat, is that correct? If so, yes, you've got exactly the right idea. Work row 1 of the other stitch panels and row 9 of the cable panel, row 2 of the other panels and row 10 of the cable panel and so on. When you come to the end of the second 8 row repeat, start it again but continue on with the cable panel.I keep 2 row counters going to make sure I match up the patterns or else keep track with pencil and paper.

Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps
Greg Palast and Ted Rall
Introduction by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
With complete comic book by Ted Rall
A close presidential election in November could well come down to contested states or even districts—an election decided by vote theft? It could happen this year.
Based on Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s investigative reporting for Rolling Stone and BBC television, Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps might be the most important book published this year—one that could save the election.
Billionaires & Ballot Bandits names the filthy-rich sugar-daddies who are super-funding the Super-PACs of both parties—billionaires with nicknames like "The Ice Man," "The Vulture" and, of course, The Brothers Koch. Told with Palast's no-holds-barred, reporter-on-the-beat style, the facts as he lays them out are staggering. What emerges in B&BB is the never-before-told-story of the epic battle being fought behind the scenes between the old money banking sector that still supports Obama, and the new hedge fund billionaires like Paul Singer who not only support Romney but also are among his key economic advisors. B&BB exposes the previously unreported details on how operatives plan to use the hundreds of millions in Super-PAC money pouring into this election. We know the money is pouring in, but Palast shows us the convoluted ways the money will be used to suppress your vote.
The story of the billionaires and why they want to buy an election is matched with the nine ways they can steal the election. His story of the sophisticated new trickery will pick up on Palast's giant New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.
For more information go to www.ballotbandits.org or www.gregpalast.com.
"Palast's prose has a zippy, breathless quality that might put you in mind of Michael Moore — 'How does a ballot get spoiled? Not by leaving it out of the fridge'— but he's also an expert in statistics who reports regularly for the BBC, Rolling Stone and other outlets."—New York Times
"The most terrifying book a Democrat could read. Billionaires & Ballot Bandits delineates the potential theft of democracy."—Huffington Post
"A practical primer on how to exercise your right to vote on Election Day in the face of a calculated Republican multi-pronged plan to prevent you from casting a ballot by any means necessary."—News Blaze
"Palast ... chronicles how many of America's super rich — the Koch brothers, hedge fund titan Paul Singer, Texan corporate raider Harold Simmons, among many others — have been patiently and prodigiously subsidizing campaigns not to "get out the vote," but to keep it down."—Too Much
"If you really want to understand the forthcoming US presidential election, read this book."—Green Left
"A 48-page comic book, 'Tales from the Crypt of Democracy,' brilliantly illustrated by the award-winning artist Ted Rall, summarizes the bleak horrors detailed in Billionaires and Ballot Bandits. Palast reaches out to all of us with his revelations in a nutshell. Years from now we can turn to it and remember and marvel in our triumph that such atrocities once dominated the human landscape, here and throughout the world."—Op-Ed News

Starting today Mosaic investors will have the opportunity to invest in a 12.27 megawatt solar installation on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst — the first joint Air Force, Army, and Navy base in the continental United States. Solar panels will be secured on rooftops of 547 homes, providing 30% of the electricity needs of the U.S. service members and their families on the base. The investment represents an opportunity for investors to support the military's goal of 3 gigawatts (3,000 megawatts) of renewable energy installations by 2025.
In addition to the military's goal of 3 gigawatts of renewable energy installations, the Army has set goals of net zero energy, water, and waste at its bases. The Air Force, the largest energy user of the military, is the leading purchaser of clean energy within the Federal Government, powering portions of 37 bases with renewable energy.
The military's lofty goals and actions for combating climate change and fossil fuel dependence are in stark contrast to the morass in the U.S. Congress. With 135 climate change deniers in Congress, it is unlikely that a comprehensive plan combatting climate change will happen anytime soon. Why is the military steps ahead of the government that controls it when responding to climate change? The military knows that climate change is a matter of national security and not of political grandstanding.
The DoD spends $20 billion per year on fossil fuels as the world's largest consumer of energy. For every $10 increase in the price per barrel of oil, the DoD tacks on $1.3 billion to its annual energy bill. In addition, the DoD outlays an estimated average of $84 billion per year protecting Middle Eastern maritime oil transit routes and oil infrastructure. Employing renewable energy reduces the dependency on fossil fuels from growingly instable regions, reduces costs, and reduces risks associated with protecting transit routes and oil infrastructure.
The military has outposts in remote regions and needs a steady supply of fuel to sustain these outposts. Meeting this demand is a dangerous and costly challenge. In Afghanistan, there is an average of one casualty for every 24 fuel resupply convoys. To avoid these casualties, fuel is airdropped in certain locations driving the price of a gallon of fuel toward $400/gallon (and you thought $4/gallon was expensive!) To reduce the risk of running out of fuel and lower these exorbitant fuel transportation costs, the military has begun using portable solar arrays to power its operations in these remote areas.
To make clear the link between renewable energy and national security, Thomas Hicks, the Navy's Deputy Assistant Secretary of Energy, was quoted saying renewable energy investments are not about "advancing an environmental agenda. They're about improving our combat capability, improving our mission effectiveness, and reducing our vulnerabilities to foreign sources of fossil fuel."
Unlike the politicians on Capitol Hill, the military can take long-term views and find the best solutions to its problems. The military takes its job of protecting us seriously and has recognized that responding to climate change and investing in renewable energy makes us all safer. With its buying power and history as one of the greatest catalysts of technological innovation, the military has the ability to transform markets. The ambitious goals the military has set for renewable energy generation will have transformative effects for the clean energy market, the military, and society in general, and now Mosaic investors have the opportunity to invest in this transformation.

Remember, that those 2 lbs a week are based on using CW (conventional wisdom) methods such as eating healthy whole grains.

This blog is primarily stagnant, mostly trafficked by Google searches pointing to old articles where I at least gave some sort of attempt at regularly posting something. I imagine I must have had more time then-- or perhaps I didn't need to actually stop, breathe, step away from the computer and recharge a bit as much as I do these days. In any case, I don't often post personal blogs, and certainly not here; though I may have some posts snugly hiding away somewhere across the Internet. I'll never tell.
April the 13th, 2011, and still wondering where the year has gone so far. I meant to post a retrospective of the year past in January but it never happened. I still have half written blogs to continue my Alters and Overrides series hanging around unpublished, quietly waiting for their chance to be indexed. I feel reflective now, though, so here we go.
Many things have happened-- good, bad, life changing and all at once unexpected. After working at Acquia for almost two years as a Client Advisor, I quit last July and got a position as a Software Engineer, still working on Drupal sites. I'd missed not actively developing and coding as much as I liked to. That didn't last long, though-- working in an office, long commutes, and simply not "fitting in" at the new place, I took my leave and went back to consulting. I've returned to Acquia in this role, doing more development and once again being a part of a group of not only brilliant, but very cool people, who I'm proud to work alongside. With the addition of being able to work with other teams, such as the people at Drupal Construction, I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to work on interesting and fun projects and to do them with people I respect and appreciate.
While I haven't made as many conferences, camps, or just Drupal meetups thus far this year, I hope to make my way to more soon. Drupalcon Chicago was last month. I had a great time, learned a few new tricks, but mainly I feel like it's a big (if not sometimes dysfunctional) family reunion and always great to see people I tend to only see once a year. Plus I got to walk in snow and that is always cool to me!
I'm not sure what my future holds but it's obvious Drupal will be a part of it. I still struggle with wanting to be more involved in the Drupal community but not really finding both the place to do so or the time. I've come to terms and accepted I will never be a great presenter at camps and conferences. That's okay with me, and maybe I will find a more active role for myself at some point. Maybe not.
My hands are quite full as it is with my three daughters, now 3, 5, and 7. Wow. In so many ways this journey has been all for them. While I grew up using opensource, experienced the Internet at an early age (is it almost 20 years ago now?!), and even built sites and dabbled in PHP and mySQL early on, it was never something I wanted to do as a career until I started working from home, kids underfoot, over 5 years ago. Prior to that I had no desire for a career that had anything to do with computers-- I wanted to be out in the world, or at least observing it, scribbling in notebooks or teaching English Literature. While this isn't a place I envisioned I would be, it's a place that fits me and I'm quite happy with that.
Cheers to you, 2010 and 1/3rd of 2011. I'm looking forward to the things to come, both personally and professionally. In the near future, I leave next week to visit the Acquia offices in Woburn and look forward to staying with my sister there. The years of living in a way too small apartment are nearing an end as we shop houses to rent, the Litter Robot is finally here and set up to ease of the pain of two poopy cats who keep me company during the days working from home, my new 27" iMac is finally all set up and beautiful to work in front of, and things are falling into a more steady pace. This is good.
I just wish I didn't drink the last of my Starbucks vanilla iced latte in writing this. Oh delivery coffee service, why do you not exist?

Analyze the land around a property
This section describes ways that GIS can help you understand the context of a property
GIS can help with property acquisition and with site stewardship, but it can also help define relationships between a property and its surroundings. Here are some useful approaches to this type of analysis:
1. Viewsheds: What can be seen on your property and what you can see from your property are important topics, particularly for areas where there are long vistas. With topographic data (a DEM) and advanced GIS software, you can generate "viewsheds" for particular properties or along defined routes. This can be particularly useful if, for example, you are protecting landscapes visible from a scenic highway, or within site of a particular vista point.
You can also use this technique to help select property owners names who are within the viewshed of a potential acquisition - this list can help support funding or other involvement in a protection campaign. It can also be used in stewardship, to determine where to allow any buildings or changes to your properties, or to assess the impact from a neighboring parcel.
2. Demographics: In more suburbanized areas or in cities, finding out who lives nearby can be crucial for acquisition campaigns, site planning and general outreach. Using readily available demographic data and applying a GIS technique known as buffer analysis, you can generate detailed profiles of the populations near your holding. For example, are you hoping to establish a park that will be accessible to communities of need? You can create a buffer (maybe 1/4-mile or 1/2-mile if a small, neighborhood park; up to 5-miles if a larger regional park) around the park site. Then use this buffer to select all Census tracts or block groups within the specified distance of the park, and use summary functions on this subset to calculate statistics such as median household income, percent breakdown by ethnic group, and percent of children in poverty. This information can be critical in talking with funders and doing outreach in the communities you serve.
You can work with demographics on a more advanced level by better defining your service area (using concepts like driving times, transit routes, and access points) or examining park access within a community as a whole (identifying "hot spots" of need). Both are potentially useful analyses for more strategic planning.
3. Watershed assessment: In the context of a watershed, what happens on an individual property may affect more than just that property and those immediately adjacent, it may impact all properties and resources downstream. For example, proposed development on one tract of land can impact the water quality of all areas that water from that development flows into - even many miles away. GIS can be used to establish these upstream/downstream connections based on the topography of the watershed or a defined hydrologic network, allowing you to trace the impacts of activities on one property to others within the watershed.

I wanted to like Xenoblade, I really did, but I am constantly befuddled by all the praise it gets. It felt like it took all the worst aspects of an MMO, then added anime nonsense to make what i perceive as a lackluster game. I'm contemplating forcing myself through it, just because people keep singing its praises, but for right now I just don't get it. At least Last Story rocked.

I was also torn between the two, but in the end I went with Xenoblade.

Pokerkid777 posted...How?
I loved XIII, the corridors pissed me off, but the Gameplay was real deep once you got into the more difficult enemies in the Gran Pulse. Item collecting wasn't as interesting, but I loved the fast gameplay, paradigms, and leveling system. I didn't get around to XIII-2 though, sadly I don't have enough time to rock through 60-70 hour RPGs anymore. Didn't get a chance to play Xenoblade either ):
If they make a Wii U Xenoblade sequel I will definitely get it though.
thundercat2600 4 years ago#18
I am completely baffled that anybody actually likes the xiii cast. The only ones even remotely likeable were Sazh and Fang. And holy crap did the writing suck in that game. It's not quite Star Ocean 4 bad, but it's close.
The only good parts about XIII are the battle system, graphics, and music. Xenoblade is a far superior game overall.
they have the PC version of Darksiders 2 running on WiiU in 1080 native at 60 fps and full graphics options on. Neither 360 or PS3 can come close

Except they skipped what is really the only bad aspect of MMOs, which is the massive amount of forced grinding. Xenoblade has virtually no grinding whatsoever.
Presumably what you're referring to is instead the amount of questing in the game, but it's largely optional and the game does have various modern conveniences like fast travel (heck, you don't even have to return to most of the quests when they're done), and there's loads of other highly quest-oriented RPGs.

I am going to try it again later this year after the massive letdown I experienced because of over hype. It didn't seem bad, but it was nowhere near the end all be all of RPG's that people made it out to be and that left a bad impression on me.
I suggest you try it again. I could be wrong, but I'd think you probably tried it out for a few hours, said "meh", and put the game back on the shelf. And who can blame you? Xenoblade is pretty dull at the beginning when you only have one-to-three characters to play as, and only as many attacks to execute.
Honestly, the game doesn't really "click" as being THAT good until you get a little farther in and realize just how gigantic and varied the areas are, just how many sidequests there are, just how many unique and evolving NPCs there are, unlock new abilities, characters, armors, and game mechanics. Based on content alone, the game is mind-boggling. My first playthrough ran 195 hours. The character and armor customization is top-notch. And the combat system becomes very fun later on when some more options open up, which makes it more strategic.
All that being said, the game just might not be your cup of tea, which is fine too. At least you're willing to give it a chance (and a second chance) before saying you don't like it, which is more than many would bother with.

LANSING -- With a vote to dissolve the Inkster city school district looming Thursday evening, Rep. David Knezek (D-Dearborn Heights) called the district's closing "extremely disappointing" and "unconscionable."
Inkster Public Schools and Buena Vista Schools are expected to be dissolved and their students distributed to other school districts under a state law passed earlier this year. The law gives State Superintendent Mike Flanagan and State Treasurer Andy Dillon the power to determine if the schools were financially incapable of opening their doors.
Dillon and Flanagan gave both Inkster and Buena Vista a Monday deadline to locate outside financing to allow them to operate for the 2013-2014 school year after a financial analysis by state education and treasury officials determined neither district had the funds to open and hold a full year of classes.
Neither district submitted the required paperwork before the deadline, meaning that the Wayne RESA Board of Education can now vote to dissolve Inkster schools and divide the district's students among neighboring schools. That vote is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday at the Wayne RESA Education Center in Wayne.
"We know there's a better way; we owe it to the children of our communities to offer a real solution, one that maintains local control and allows students to attend public schools close to home and close to their friends and family. It is past time that we stop punishing our children for the sins of adults in Lansing," Knezek said in a news release Wednesday. "It is extremely troubling that Inkster Public Schools will not open its doors next year. The city has been hard-hit by recession and economic decline over recent years, and it's unconscionable to see one of the enduring cornerstones of the community being stripped away."
The district had proposed a deficit elimination plan to the state that would have converted the district's high school into a charter school, moved all other grades into a single school building and reduce expenses. That plan was not formally approved by the state because of concerns over how the district would provide educational services to students who opted against attending the charter high school, among other issues.

And this is serious personal information being taken, such as Social Security and credit card numbers, and banking information. The study, which surveyed 1,002 adults, was conducted in January — before the general public had any information about the Heartbleed bug but after the disclosure of major breaches at retailers, including Target and Neiman Marcus. — Washington Post

Red Dead Redemption is riding high in the charts, but it won't be too long before people start pondering about Rockstar's next project. Max Payne 3 and LA Noire are both somewhere on the horizon, but at some point in the not-too-distant future, there'll inevitably be a GTA 5. With that in mind, I thought it would be interesting to explore a few of the ways in which RDR has improved on the structure of GTA IV - lessons that Rockstar could take forward into its next game. What follows is entirely my opinion, of course - so feel free to call me a knob.
Spoiler note: while I've aimed to avoid spoilers wherever possible, the following article does discuss the general themes and tone of Red Dead Redemption. There's nothing big in here, but be warned nonetheless.
Keep the open world open
GTA IV's Liberty City was a milestone in open world game design: beautiful, memorable and absolutely packed with intricate detail. Aside from the satirical representation, it was also a very impressive approximation of New York - but this achievement had an unfortunate side effect: it was an extremely busy place. As enthralling as it was to steal a sports car and drive up to the gleaming lights of Star Junction, the sheer volume of traffic could be a real drag at times - particularly in the latter stages of the game, when missions had you travelling right across the city to get to the fun stuff.
The vast plains of Red Dead Redemption represent an even larger (and better looking) playground, but the key difference is space. Traffic jams are obviously no longer a problem, and because you have the freedom to literally break away from the beaten path, you feel that much more inclined to do so. There's always something on the horizon - a rocky outcrop to explore, a wild animal to hunt, or an NPC to torment or rescue. Due to the open design of the landscape, these distractions are clearly visible, and whenever you decide to return to your primary business, it's easy to get back on the right track. Fine, you might get unexpectedly snuffed out by a bandit or a sneaky cougar, but you'll never have that classic GTA problem where you bump into a cop car and inadvertently start a disastrous, five-star chase.
If anything, Red Dead's problem is that it's almost too big: by my reckoning it takes almost seven minutes of playtime to ride from one end of Mexico to the other. Still, that's what the fast travel options are there for - and I think it speaks volumes that lots of gamers seem to be proudly avoiding these shortcuts. Rockstar would do well to emulate this openness for GTA 5, so perhaps it's time to return to a San Andreas-style world design?

American Theatre Laboratory
|January 1, 1966
|In 1966, disenchanted with the pressures of commercial theatre and influenced by the ideas of visionary directors like Peter Brook and Jerzy Grotowski, Jerome Robbins founded the American Theatre Lab to explore what his grant proposal called "total theatre": a "poetic," non-realistic meld of acting, dance, singing, performed by a group of actors and dancers in a closed workshop setting. For three years, with the help of seed money from the fledgling National Endowment for the Arts and assisted by Anna Sokolow, Leonard Bernstein, John Guare, and the young Robert Wilson, among others, Robbins worked with this group on a variety of exercises and projects, including a theater piece based on the Warren Commission's report on the Kennedy assassination, which was presented alternately as a dramatized documentary and as a Noh play, complete with masks. But none of these efforts was given a public airing; and although the idea of a permanent rehearsal had seemed a good idea to Robbins at the beginning, three years without any closure left him "exhausted" and convinced (as he told the critic Clive Barnes) that "I just couldn't go on that way." ATL ceased functioning in 1968; but some of the ideas Robbins worked on there can be clearly seen (as he was the first to admit) in his 1972 ballet Watermill.

Reading List
Now I'm going to do a post that has little or at least very little do with food blogging. Or maybe it has in an indirect way because a person's life does influence her/his cooking even if I doubt that I'm particularly influenced by what I'm reading unless it's food related. But Sara of Ms Adventures in Italy asked some weeks ago what I was reading because she is always on the lookout for a good read and I promised her to write a post about it (I have also promised her to post my thoughts about food photography but I'm still thinking about that post) so here we go, some books do actually have something to do with food!
I read a lot, I started as a 6 year old and I haven't stopped yet, it's a bit like a drug to me. I love to be able to open a book like I open a door and enter into this world that is so completely different from my own. Sometimes it enriches my own life and sometimes it's like an escape from myself but rarely it's bad for me. And I never finish books that I don't like or get anguished by anyway! I always read several book at the same time because my moods change and I have different needs that depends on so many factors so I like to be able to choose what I need.
This is a list of what I've just read and what I'm reading in this moment, I just picked up the books that I keep on the table next to my bed and brought them here to the kitchen where I'm writing this.
Fiction and non fiction:
Qiu Xiaolong, When Red is Black. This is the third of Xiaolong's detective stories that I read and I have enjoyed every one of them immensely. They are more like noirs actually and it's really interesting to be able to understand
Jeffrey Deaver, The Blue Nowhere. A thriller about computers, internet and the cyberspace. I liked it for what it is.
Marina Lewycka, A Short History of Tractors in Ucrainian. A rather mad story about how two daughters want to save their 84 years old father from the marriage with a 36 yrs old gold digger. You get an interesting insight in
Nick Hornby, A Long Way Down. A nice story about four suicidal people who meet on a roof top and the ups and downs of their friendship. Not his best though.
John Peel, Margrave of the marshes. The autobiography (well the beginning at least) of the BBC Radio 1 dj John Peel who sadly died 2 years ago. I finally found it and I'm so happy because I love him and I was really sad when he died despite the fact that I didn't know him and I wasn't alone in feeling like this. I discovered him in the late 70's and I have followed him since then. Great man and inspirer with a incredible sense of humour. And he was human too.
Food related books:
Fabiano Guatteri, L'Arte del menu. A collection of recipes where the author emphasizes the importance of the composition of the menu, there is an interesting introduction that made take out my Escoffier to continue to read about this important aspect of eating.
A tavola con il re. This is a collection of medieval recipes with the modern interpretation next to it, I just bought it and I'm planning to post something from it in the near future.
Anthony Bourdain, The Nasty Bits. There is no need to say anything about this book, I think you probably have read it already.

To the Editor: Dr Kline and colleagues1 concluded that D-dimer assay and ADSM should be used together to exclude the presence of a PE. They reported a sensitivity of 98.4% and a specificity of 51.6% for the 2 tests combined. In their study population, the prevalence of PE was 16.8%, and if both tests were normal, they estimated a 0.75% posterior probability of having a PE.
The authors considered the test results jointly and dichotomized the test results to at least 1 result being abnormal or to both results being normal. They report sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (LR), and negative LR for this dichotomized joint test. However, since 4 possible combinations of test results were possible, information was lost. Reporting categorical LRs would have been more useful.

My parents brought me a big bushel of apples from their property in NY the last time they came to visit. Being a sucker for local and organic foods, I was thrilled to have such a plethora of homegrown pesticide and chemical free apples! Besides eating them, what could I do with them? Make homemade applesauce of course! I made applesauce with my mom every fall when I lived in NY. The taste is far superior to store bought applesauce and it has ruined me for anything but the homemade stuff. It is so easy to make! Here is my recipe for easy crockpot applesauce:
Just wash and cut your apples, discarding the core. Leave the skin on. The fill your crockpot to the brim with apples and add a small amount of water to cover the bottom. Set the crockpot to low and return to stir the apples every few hours until they are very soft and mushy. This generally takes 6-8 hours. You then set a food mill over a bow and ladle in the apples, leave any water or juice behind to avoid making your apple sauce too watery. Just turn the food mill handle and watch your applesauce come out. Easy peasy!
Every so often the food mill will get some skin/seed remnants. Just back spin the food mill to dislodge and scoop the bits out. I only had to do this once or twice with my entire batch. If you don't have a food mill, I would recommend this one. You can buy cheaper ones on Amazon but they didn't have very good reviews. I really like the one we have.
Once complete, you may add cinnamon or sugar to taste. I just added a little cinnamon. I filled up my jars with the applesauce and placed one in the refrigerator to eat and froze the rest. If freezing, make sure you leave a little room at the top to allow for expansion of the applesauce. It freezes well and tastes great several months later!
I told you that was easy! Go make some crockpot applesauce and let me know how yours turns out!
