Events and Programs
2010 Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region
October 03, 2010 - January 02, 2011
One of the oldest regional juried exhibitions in the East
The Hyde Collection joins the Albany Institute of History and Art and the University Art Museum (University at Albany, State University of New York) as the third collaborative sponsor of the oldest regional juried art show in the United States. Founded in 1936, this annual exhibition showcases contemporary art by living artists from the Upper Hudson and Mohawk River valleys. The exhibition rotates among the three organizations and will be hosted by The Hyde Collection in the fall of 2010.
Charles Desmarais, Deputy Director for Art at the Brooklyn Museum since 2005, will serve as guest juror. At the Museum, he has overseen major exhibitions of the work of Ron Mueck, Takashi Murakami, Hernan Bas, and others. Prior to his appointment in Brooklyn, he spent almost a decade as Director of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati. He was responsible for the widely hailed public, programmatic, and physical transformation of that institution, which culminated in a new building designed by architect Zaha Hadid. Desmarais was director of the Laguna Art Museum from 1988 to 1994. From 1981 to 1988 he directed the California Museum of Photography at the University of California, Riverside, where he oversaw the creation of another award-winning building, designed by Stanley Saitowitz. In the past twenty-five years, Desmarais has organized more than fifty exhibitions, written numerous articles and books, and was awarded an Art Critics Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1979.
From 5:30 – 6:30 pm on Thursday, December 16, 2010, The Hyde will hold gallery talks with presenting artists Gina Occhiogrosso of Troy, NY and Katie DeGroot of Fort Edward, NY.
Occhiogrosso will discuss her work, Homework (Phase 1), winner of the Maryann Bell Juror's Award. DeGroot will discuss her exhibited work titled Hottie, whichwon the Marijo Dougherty and Norman Bauman Juror's Award in memory of Nancy Hyatt Liddle. Admission to the gallery talks is by donation. Reservations will be made on a first-come, first-served basis and are suggested since participation is limited to 35 individuals.
For more information or to reserve a spot for either event, contact The Hyde at 518-792-1761 ext. 17 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

could trip up Stata's parser).
By the way, the URL above does NOT return a plain text file. In the
output of -describe- above, you will notice the HTML tag "

the first variable label. And, if you -list- the data, you will see
the last value of the variable 'pvalue' contains a closing HTML tag
"

It is important when reading data directly from the web to remember
that Stata will see exactly what is sent to it by the remote
webserver. This may not be the same as what your eye sees in your
browser. It is a good idea to use a browser to do a "view source" on
the page of interest to make sure there are not extraneous HTML tags
in it that are probably not wanted. One possibility would be to
use Stata's -filefilter- command to strip out such tags.

Breezy Point: Weapons, education discussed
Emily resident Kent Rees said at the Breezy Point forum that firearms, knives, baseball bats and other weapons of violence must be addressed, as well as the way mentally ill people are handled and treated.
He told the story of his recovering granddaughter, who was stabbed three times by a mentally ill person while pumping gas at a gas station in another city.
"We have a violence problem," he said. "You get a different perspective to it when it occurs directly to you."
Integration aid to schools, which is tied to racial disparities and broadened to include the achievement gap, was addressed. Radinovich said integration aid was being considered but there hasn't been concrete action. The education omnibus bill will reflect ideas, he said.
Also regarding education, Linda Kittler of Aitkin County asked about discussion about early childhood preschools.
Ruud said there is a disconnect in early childhood education and at the high school/post-secondary level. She said the Pequot Lakes School District recognized this early and now houses pre-kindergarten classes at the elementary school and offers all-day, everyday kindergarten.
"Our children are a lot different at 16 than we were at 16. We're a lot different society now," Ruud said, advocating a look at pre-kindergarten to age 20 education.
Frank Tenczar of Breezy Point said he wants to see the state balance its two-year budget and have a year without a budget battle.
"I'm a fan of progressive taxes and I want us to be responsible," he said. "Go to work and don't be like our federal government, and get the job done once and for all."


text: In a brazen attempt to cash in on this year's lackluster movie about giant lizards and the men who love them, Sierra has created Eragon games for every platform you can think of. Considering only about twelve people who saw the movie actually liked it, I bet they're regretting their decision. Or, given the quality of the games they produced, maybe they should be thankful the movie was about as successful as One Night at McCool's.

st: Question on interpreting interactions in linear regression models
Tue, 15 Dec 2009 09:49:46 -0600
This is a basic question about interpreting interactions in linear
regression models that I hope someone would be able answer or guide me
to a useful reference.
I was reading a paper in which the authors are interested in studying
whether the effect of a continuous variable (X) on a continuous
outcome variable (Y) varies between two periods (P=0 and P=1). They
test this using interactions with the following linear regression
model Y=b1+b2X+b3P+b4XP
They find that b2 is significantly different from zero, while b4 and
(b2+b4) are not significantly different from zero. The authors
conclude that X has an influence on Y in the first period (i.e. when
P=0) because b2 is significant. Further, they state that the influence
of X in the second period (i.e. when P=1) is given by (b2+b4) and this
is not significantly different from zero, implying that X has no
influence on Y in the second period. Thus, the effect of X on Y varies
between the two periods.
Is this interpretation of the authors correct? Does not the fact that
the interaction coefficient (b4) is non-significant directly imply
that there is no change in the effect of X between the two periods?

Exciting news courtesy of Dodd-Frank, et al: "Free" checking, isn't
posted at 3:21 pm on September 24, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
I've yet to resolve my quandary over which of President Obama's signature legislative 'achievements' I find more distasteful — ObamaCare, or Dodd-Frank. Yes, ObamaCare boasts the audacity of stomping on individual freedom, taking over an entire economic sector that particularly cannot afford to have its works gummed up by bureaucratic inefficiency (since there are actual lives at stake), and will strangle medical innovations, among many more ill effects; but the regulatory complexity of Dodd-Frank is going to rear its ugly head in so many different industries, expand government interference in the business world across a a whole host of different avenues, ensure that the biggest banks get bigger, and has escalated economic uncertainty to such a degree, that it's quite the tough contest. Really, I am in a pickle.
I mean, the massive regulatory behemoth of financial reform that sidelines free-market competition in the ostensible effort to make those nasty, big bad banks offer more user-friendly services, is actually making everything more costly and inefficient for everyone involved? Who could've seen this coming? From the WSJ, emphases mine:
So-called free checking accounts are more expensive than ever, as the lumbering economy and new regulations squeeze bank revenues. …
Banks have raised fees on automatic teller machines, overdrafts and checking accounts for customers who don't meet new standards tied to account balances or regular deposits. …
The fees come as the banking industry looks to lose more than $10 billion a year in revenue through federal restrictions on debit cards and overdraft policies, according to bank consultants. …
Customer fees are just one way banks are trying to step up profits. Most financial institutions also are cutting costs. Bank of America Corp., BAC -0.60% for example, is seeking to shed 16,000 jobs by the end of the year. …
Rising fees aren't the only frustration to bank customers. Most traditional accounts these days earn next to no interest as the Federal Reserve seeks to keep rates at record lows, a strategy intended to jump-start the U.S. economy.
Behold, the hubris of the federal bureaucracy manifested in the form of widespread financial hindrance and borne of a regulatory bureau meant to "protect" us from private companies that dare to seek a profit by offering a useful service. Putting businesses in a costly chokehold, killing jobs, raising fees, engendering unprofitable accounts — gee, thanks, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau!
Going after financial institutions because of false advertising or outright deceit is one thing; pursuing cases against them because their customers supposedly can't understand the fine print is another — and frankly, I don't trust the right-away-wrong CFPB to distinguish which is which. Do these regulators understand that there are costs associated these transactions and services that must be paid for, and that by persecuting the banks, the price of these regulatory enforcements is inevitably going to passed on to the consumer in one way or another? Go after the credit-card lenders if you will, but understand that you're inevitably making everybody poorer. The AP reports:
Discover Bank will pay millions in fees to settle accusations by regulators that it pressured credit card customers to buy costly add-on services like payment protection and credit monitoring.
Discover, the sixth-biggest U.S. credit card issuer, will pay a $14 million fine and refund $200 million directly to more than 3.5 million customers, federal authorities said Monday.
The company's call-center workers enrolled customers in the programs without their consent, misled them about the benefits and left customers thinking the products were free, regulators said.
The action was brought by the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Discover said this summer that it expected an enforcement action about add-on products.

Has to do with BJ.
Guess no one cares about the big guy
So they suspended Jacobs for the rest of the regular season instead of releasing him when Jacobs is only signed to a one-year contract. lol
"Of course, suspending Jacobs instead of releasing him means he can't join another team -- read: a reunion with the Giants, who are dealing with injuries at the position -- and potentially come back to hurt the 49ers in the playoffs. "
We're still in the 49ers' heads. Gosh I wonder how many times Jim Harbaugh thinks about the Giants and that NFC Championship game when he goes to bed. haha!

LOL so if it craps out, I either pay through the nose, or risk death in Mexico because some ******* in CA decided R-12 hurts earth... it's been 20 years... thankfully there are millions of these trucks driving and sitting in bone yards with R-134A AC systems. I was wondering how involved I need to get to switch my refrigerant... can I simply change the compressor & lines and flush the system somehow, then refill/recharge it? Or does everything need to come out? condenser, compressor, evaporator, that drip canister, the AC box behind the entire dash... let me know if I'm missing anything. This is my first AC vehicle, and it's pretty awesome.... got to keep it alive. thanks!

Possession of a short upper and a non-SBR registered lower is "constructive possession", even if it is not assembled. Only "loophole" is the TC SCOTUS decision that says if a group of parts has more than one possible assembly configuration and at least one of them is legal, the courts must presume you intended to only assemble them in a legal fashion. I would wait until the paperwork is approved before purchasing the upper, if the purchase now is wanted because of a sale or discount, I would have a friend with no ARs order and hold it for you until the paperwork clears.
Unless it's a non-standard pistol upper it should interchange with a rifle lower without a problem.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Update (Thursday July 26 1:30 PM PST): The Pussy Riot trial officially begins July 30 and will run until August 15. In the meantime, the Free Pussy Riot movement has been snowballing with momentum. Today, 1,500 protesters gathered in Moscow to call for the release of anti-Putin activists along with Pussy Riot, and on Friday, Amnesty International USA will hold a rally outside the Russian embassy in Washington DC. Earlier this month, the prisoners initiated a short-lived hunger strike, which was taken up by 10 supporters and friends in Moscow. One protester is still striking—she's on day 21. Elsewhere, musical icons have lent their support: In anticipation of his St. Petersburg show tomorrow, Sting put out a press release today deploring the Russian government's treatment of the Pussy Riot prisoners, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed a show in Moscow wearing Pussy Riot t-shirts. Pussy Riot's lawyer, Mark Feigin, told the Moscow Times this week that Anthony Kiedis is talking to Bono and Madonna to enlist their help as well.
On February 21, members of the Russian riot grrrl art collective Pussy Riot walked into Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral and staged a performance art protest. The women got up on the altar wearing their signature rainbow array of balaclavas (ski masks) and held what they called a "punk prayer service," kicking and dancing their way through an explicit, anti-Putin jam. Later, alleged members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich were arrested and detained for the action. In April, a Moscow court extended the women's jail time until June 24. On June 20, that detention was extended a second time, for another month. The women, two of whom have young children, face up to seven years in prison on charges of hooliganism.
Their detention has sparked a network of creative grassroots actions, gallery shows, and music benefits across the globe. Solidarity demonstrations have cropped up everywhere from the Eiffel Tower to outside the Russian embassy in Tel Aviv. Freepussyriot.org, the website started 16 weeks ago as a forum to support the women, now has coordinators in at least six countries and receives submissions from Prague, Dresden, Mexico City, San Francisco, and Helsinki. Last week, a formal Pussy Riot exhibition launched at Palais de Tokyo, a contemporary art museum in Paris.
Permanent Wave, an American feminist art network, has been throwing benefit shows for Pussy Riot's legal defense fund in Brooklyn. At the first event, held June 12, a number of punk bands and the Beastie Boys' Adam Horowitz (Ad-Rock) played to a packed crowd. Some dancers donned balaclavas that were being sold at the merch table. According to Kaitlin Archambault, one of the organizers, most attendees kicked in more than the $7 suggested donation. That night alone, Permanent Wave raised $1,268 for the jailed trio.
"Crackdown on individual freedom of expression is of incredible concern," said Amy Klein, a punk musician, writer, and founder of Permanent Wave, before the collective's second Pussy Riot event. "The arts have always served the purpose of shining a light on and critiquing dominant ways of thinking, and if we can't have that be true all over the world, then it's sort of—what's the point in having artists anyway?"
Many share the sentiment; check out some of Pussy Riot's supporters' most colorful efforts above.

Close to 1500 people from around the Northeast and Canada gathered in downtown Portland on Saturday to protest a potential project that would pipe tar-sands oil from western Canada through New England to Portland Harbor. While corporate energy officials continue to insist there is no such project in the works, protesters remain wary; beyond that, the demonstration signaled the further coalescing of a legitimate climate change movement — one focused not just on battling tar sands, but on pressing for real policy solutions.
On what US Congresswoman Chellie Pingree described as a "beautiful, brisk Maine day" (Saturday's high was 22 degrees), the rally-goers met in Monument Square, then noisily snaked through Portland down to the Maine State Pier, a parade of banners and chanting and drums and horns. "We don't want your dirty oil," they yelled. "Leave the tar sands in the soil."
Tar sands, a/k/a bitumen, is a naturally occurring mixture of sand, clay, water, and an extremely viscous, tar-like form of petroleum, which can be isolated and extracted by injecting steam and chemicals deep into the ground. To transport diluted bitumen requires high temperatures and pressure. Local environmenalists are particularly concerned that oil giants are hatching a plan to pump and ship tar-sands oil from western Canada to refineries on the Gulf Coast via existing, old pipelines that run between Montreal and Portland (see "Tar Sands Disaster?" by Deirdre Fulton, August 17, 2012).
At the pier, with enormous oil tanks in the background and an energetic, sign-wielding crowd before her, Pingree vowed to "ask the Obama administration to do a full environmental review of any attempt to bring tar-sands oil through that pipeline."
She also said that if the proposal were to move forward, she would call for President Barack Obama to issue a new presidential permit that reflects the shift in pipeline contents — from traditional crude oil to tar-sands oil. "And I don't believe the facts will support one," she said.
Meanwhile, the petroleum powers-that-be maintain that all this hubbub is unfounded.
"[C]ontrary to recent reports and claims by some environmental and protest groups in the region, Enbridge has no plans or proposals whatsoever to transport any crude products, including diluted bitumen, through the pipelines of the Portland Montreal Pipe Line company that runs from Portland, Maine to Montreal, Quebec," the company said in a statement released late last week.
More ominously, on its website, the Portland-Montreal Pipe Line corporation said: "While we do not have an active project to reverse the flow in either of our pipelines, if there is a demand for doing so in the future, we will consider it."
It's difficult to see such demand not rising. According to the research consulting group Ecofys, which recently completed the "Point of No Return" report for Greenpeace, "production of oil from the tar sands in Alberta will triple from 1.5 to 4.5 million barrels a day by 2035, adding 706 million tons of CO2 to global emissions a year. By 2020, the tar sands expansion would add annual emissions of 420 million tons of CO2, equal to those of Saudi Arabia." All that product has to go somewhere. (To that end, activists are also battling tar sands giants on the West Coast.)

symmetric intervals and -- especially- negative bounds otherwise, or

Would he be too expensive or can we sign him if Bennett leaves? Definitely would be a good replacement
Would he be too expensive or can we sign him if Bennett leaves? Definitely would be a good replacement
I hope the Unicorn doesnt leave.
if he does.... i think Beckum will have to step up or Robinson...
I heard the Titans have him as their #1 priority this off season.
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
Beckum is an unrestricted free agent..if the Giants re-signed him I will be shocked
I haved been a big fan of Cook since the 2010 draft. I would have liked to see the Giants get him back then, but the Titans grabbed him in the 3rd rd before we could get him, the consolation prize for us in the 3rd rd that year, Travis Beckum.
Cook was wanting to be tagged as a WR per the Tennessean newspaper article I read this past weekend. Well just found an update---the Titans did not tag him today.
I liked him quite a bit coming out of college but it seems he's been kinda quiet in the pro's. But I don't follow the Titans much so I may be out of touch.
The Titans look likely to tag him. Even if they don't, he'll be out of the Giants' price range.

Avion II TV Stand, Double-Wide
designed by BDI Studio
This TV stand includes a concealed compartment designed for use with a center channel speaker. The compartment features a speaker-fabric panel front, allowing your speaker's sound to come through crystal-clear.
This TV stand features the finest quality materials and finishes. Sturdy construction and steel or interlocking-panel supports provide a strong foundation for your home theater. Additionally, BDI specifies only the finest European-style hardware. Door handles and other metal details are beautifully finished. The unique soft-close hinges on most door assemblies are fully adjustable to ensure that doors hang evenly, swing smoothly and close gently.
This home theater cabinet is innovatively engineered in a unique way so that the back can be removed effortlessly for easy access to components and connections. Need to accommodate a very deep component? The back panel can be left off the cabinet without sacrificing any structural rigidity, allowing the component to extend from the back as needed.
Concealed wheels are built into this unit's leg assemblies. This means the TV stand can be moved (even if fully loaded) away from the wall by one person for easy access to cables and connections. Levelers allow the unit to be raised off of its wheels to secure it in place.
BDI home theater furniture is engineered to keep the usual tangle of cables and connections neatly under control. This cabinet features removable back panels for easy access to the rear of components. Integrated routing channels provide space for speaker and TV cables to be neatly concealed. You'll be able to gather and secure all cables out of sight by using the supplied Velcro® closures.
Floors can be quite uneven and your home theater needs to be level for optimum performance. This BDI TV stand includes easily adjustable levelers to compensate for minor leveling issues in flooring or to correct minor panel-alignment issues. This home theater cabinet includes integrated levelers that are readily accessible from inside the cabinet, allowing it to be lifted up off of its wheels to secure it in place if desired.
Because components come in many shapes and sizes, This TV stand features shelves that can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of systems. Shelves rest on unique steel shelf pins, which are rubber-padded to minimize vibration of components, and high-quality threaded inserts allow you to readjust shelf positioning in 1.25-inch (32 mm) increments as needed.
In order to perform at peak levels, your components not only need to look cool, they have to stay cool. This cabinet facilitates airflow through generous ventilation slots integrated into the bottom panel, wood shelves and removable back panels. Cooler air is drawn in from the bottom of the cabinet, while hot air is naturally expelled out the back.
Practically all of the glass used by BDI is tempered glass. Tempered glass is virtually shatterproof and four to five times stronger than standard glass. When used for shelves, tempered glass is strong enough to support the heaviest components and provides a high degree of durability.
All of BDI's furniture is designed with ease of use in mind. Grey tinted glass doors and windows keep components out of sight yet are compatible with the Infrared (IR) signals used by many remote controls.
At A Glance:
The immensely popular Avion Series of home entertainment centers has been redesigned to provide an even better media experience. The Avion II Double-wide TV Stand features a satin stainless steel base, larger door and drawer windows, soft-close hinges, and ultra-convenient cable management channels.
Model 8925 is a two door cabinet with adjustable component compartments and versatile side compartments that can be used for media or a gaming console. With tapered back corners, this model makes excellent use of corners yet works perfectly against a flat wall.
Recommended for flatscreen TVs up to 55".
See the entire BDI Avion Collection.
What's To Like:
BDI packs so many great features into the Avion II that it's hard to know where to start. The cabinet is supremely well-ventilated, has a great cable-management system to clean up the mess, and infrared glass door panels let you keep your expensive consoles hidden away yet still usable. Oh, and you know how hard it is to move heavy entertainment centers? The Avion II's a snap to move away from the wall with built-in, hidden wheels that don't detract from the look.
What's Not to Like:
It may not be possible to dislike any of the functionality of this media console. That leaves its price, which isn't cheap. But, while the price is high, it's certainly no higher than it should be for a well-designed entertainment center with so many features.
The Bottom Line:
Avion II is the perfect example of what engineers and home theater aficionados talk about around the water cooler. It's BDI's premier enclosed cabinet system - the culmination of years of studying the most demanding home theater systems. The keys to Avion II? It's beautiful, it's roomy, it has a place for everything. And, most importantly, it has a multitude of features built in. The BDI Avion II 8925 TV stand is an open and shut case of media console superiority.

Teen star revs up for Bahrain
There'll be plenty of expectation on Mitch Evans' 18-year-old shoulders as he revs up his MW Arden for tonight's GP2 race in Bahrain.
But the young Aucklander admits it's his own fault, after a great start to his first season in the Formula One support class.
He claimed his first championship point in race one at the opening round in Malaysia by finishing 10th. He followed that with a podium finish in race two and lines up this evening for the series' second event in the Gulf state at sixth on the points table.
Evans' measured approach to the good, the bad and the ugly of racing has seen him win titles in just about every category he's contested. However, even he's a little surprised how well the season has started.
"I was pretty surprised we managed to get a podium [third] on our first weekend of racing," he said from Dubai.
"I really hope we can push forward and get even stronger results. I think we have the potential to do that - we just have to keep improving as a team and I've got to keep improving as well."
Evans hasn't regarded his step up in classes as a given and has treated the new category, and rival drivers, with respect.
"Whenever you move up to another class there's always that little bit of doubt whether you're going to adapt to the car and the other drivers around you.
"You worry if your driving style doesn't suit the car. It's good to gain some confidence, and I'm just hoping we can build on it and get even better results."
Like the Malaysian GP track, this will be Evans' first drive on Bahrain's Sakhir International Circuit, but he has the ability to quickly learn new layouts and track nuances.
"It's all been good so far and it's time to build on our early results. I'll be going there with all guns blazing."
The GP2 category is the final stepping stone to F1. The gap in machinery and driver capabilities between the two classes is bigger than any other.

Mendocino County polls were humming Tuesday as a steady stream of voters came to cast their ballots throughout the day. Voters were even lined up before the polls opened at the Willits Community Center. According to the registrar's office there are about 17,795 ballots left to be counted. This suggests a 73 percent turnout.
So far the county has only counted 18,577 ballots out 49,797 registered voters. In 2008 the county voter turnout was 80 percent. The county has until December 7 to count the 16,766 vote by mail ballots and the 1,029 provisional ballots to certify the election.
At the state level there were 9.45 million ballots counted as of noon Thursday with an unknown number yet to count. This represents about 52 percent of the registered voters.
In the Willits contest for city council there were 860 votes counted out of the 2,587 citizens registered to vote. There are 923 left to count. In the 2008 election, voters cast 1,864 ballots for city council.
The currently uncounted votes were those that arrived by mail in the Mendocino County Registrar's office Monday and Tuesday and those dropped off at polling places around the county as well as provisional

How to Make Fijis
Our take on the caramel-chocolate-coconut Girl Scout Cookies otherwise known as Samoas
Of our three Girl Scout–inspired cookies, the Fijis have the most components: shortbread cookie, caramel, coconut, and chocolate. Making sure that the caramel and chocolate are at the right temperature for dipping takes a little juggling. To speed up the cooling read the recipe.
Here's how to make Fijis:
Read the recipe »1. Gather the items needed to bake the cookies: the cookie dough, parchment paper, a rolling pin, flour for dusting, two cookie cutters, two baking sheets, two wire racks, and a resealable plastic bag.
2. Once the dough is rested and chilled, lightly flour a 14-inch piece of parchment paper and place the dough disk on top. Lightly flour the top of the dough disk.
3. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thick. (Work quickly; the dough will become difficult to roll as it warms.) Transfer the dough and parchment paper to a baking sheet.
4. Cover the dough with another sheet of parchment paper and place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
5. Remove the dough from the freezer and peel the parchment paper away, then lightly press the parchment paper back down onto the surface of the dough. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the parchment as the cookies are cut out. Flip the dough over and remove the other piece of parchment paper.
6. Using a small round cookie cutter about two inches in diameter, stamp out as many cookies as possible. Then, using a smaller round cookie cutter about one inch in diameter, stamp out the center of each cookie. Remove the centers, save them with the excess dough, and chill. Once the dough is chilled, continue rolling and stamping out cookies until all the dough has been used.
7. Place the cookies 1/4 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. (About 28 cookies will fit on one sheet.) Bake until the edges are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Make the caramel (see the recipe for instructions) and temper the chocolate. Before assembling, have the caramel, chocolate, and toasted coconut ready to go in separate bowls next to the cooled cookies. Check the caramel to make sure it is the right consistency for dipping; it should be warm to the touch and still pourable like syrup but not so hot that it will burn your fingers. If it seems too stiff, warm it up for 2 to 3 minutes in a small saucepan over low heat while stirring. Do not remove the thermometer from the bowl of chocolate; check the temperature periodically to make sure it stays between 87 degrees Fahrenheit and 89 degrees Fahrenheit. Reheat the chocolate as needed.
9. Pick up a cookie by the outer edge. Dip only the bottom into the chocolate, then scrape the bottom against the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Set the cookie on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet, chocolate side down, and repeat with the remaining cookies. Let the cookies sit at room temperature until completely set, about 10 minutes, or freeze for 5 minutes.
10. Once the chocolate on the cookies has set, flip the cookies chocolate side up. Pick up a cookie by the outer edge and dip the top into the caramel, letting any excess drip off and making sure the center hole is free of caramel.
11. Immediately dip the caramel side into the toasted coconut. Set the cookie back on the baking sheet, coconut side up, and repeat with the remaining cookies.
12. Place about 1 cup of the tempered chocolate in a resealable plastic bag, preferably a strong freezer bag.
13. Cut an 1/8-inch opening in the corner of the bag.
14. Drizzle chocolate over the cookies in a zigzag pattern. Let the chocolate and caramel completely set before eating, about 20 minutes.
15. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for one week or in the freezer for up to one month.

Pueblo couple: home security service scammed us
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A Pueblo couple is out nearly $200 after what they called a potential home security scam.
Tami Sheets and her husband, Dan Sheets, said they have been using Beacon Security Services for 20 years. Tami Sheets said in 2005, new owners took over the company.
"On Friday the owner called my husband saying he was branching off and going into his own business. He said he was getting a divorce and his wife was keeping the company," said Sheets.
The owner came over and rewired the couple's alarm system, routing it from Beacon Security to his new company, said Sheets. He asked for Tami Sheets to write a check for $195 for the new service.
"I wrote a check out in his name. I shouldn't have done that. You never write a check in a person's name, only a business name," said Sheets.
The next morning, Sheets said, she got up to let her dog out and had forgotten to disarm the alarm.
"The alarms started going off, and it was the old company calling to see what was going on. I thought, 'Well, wait a minute, I'm supposed to be with the new company,'" she said.
Sheets called the owner who said he would come fix the problem on Saturday, but he never showed up, she said.
"If the alarm hadn't gone off, I would have just assumed that he did transfer us to the new company and we had service monitoring our alarms," said Sheets.
Sheets said the bill for the old company is due on Jan. 10, and she wasn't planning on paying it because she switched companies.
"Probably what would have happened is after the bill didn't get paid, it just would have got canceled and we would have been none the wiser," she said.
Sheets said she is canceling with Beacon and getting a new home security service. She also filed a police report. The Pueblo Police Department said a detective will be looking into the case next week.
KRDO Newschannel 13 tried to call Beacon Security Services but did not get a call back.
The company has a D-minus rating with the Better Business Bureau for not returning customer complaints.

You Are Cordially Invited to the Hostess City of the South: Savannah
Dresser Palmer House • Savannah, GA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays ($229) or Fridays and Saturdays ($259)
- Full Southern Breakfast
- Evening Social with Light Hors d'Oeuvres and a Complimentary Glass of Wine
- Parking for One Car
- Included Wi-Fi
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
The Destination
If Savannah is the "Hostess City of the South," then its antebellum Historic Landmark District is its parlor. Georgia's oldest urban area invites you to converse with its stoic 18th- and 19th-century architecture and bask in its great green spaces like Forsyth Park. Colonial cemeteries, pre-war churches, the nation's oldest railway station, and monuments mulling the passing of time occupy the quiet streets of this grid-laid Savannah neighborhood. Art thrives and festivals bloom in a place that Le Monde magazine deemed "The most beautiful city in North America."
The Digs
Established a decade after the end of the Civil War, the Dresser Palmer House is the very model of old Savannah and Southern hospitality. This three-floor Italianate townhouse-turned-bed and breakfast with floral patterned runners, hardwood floors, chandeliers, and tall ceilings features 16 rooms, each with antique appointments, clawfoot tubs, four-post king beds—some with eaves and canopies—sitting areas, and old Southern themes. Renovated in 2009, the hotel has been updated to include wireless Internet. Savor scratch-made breakfasts like pecan French toast, baked grapefruit, and peppered bacon in the Victorian dining room. Follow candlelit and iron-wrought walkways to the back garden, where you'll find fountains with lion-head spouts. Evening socials acquaint you with the warmth of your hosts and the enthusiasm of your fellow guests with wine from the on-site cellar and hors d'oeuvres like roasted red pepper dip and spinach phyllo triangles.
The Diversions
• See the monumental fountain in Forsyth Park
• Visit the City Market, a four-block, open-air market
• Experience the dramatic repertoire of Lucas Theater, established 1921
• Call on the Mercer Williams House Museum and other historic Savannah homes
• Take a trolly tour past the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist or the birthplace of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low
• Eat Greek on the Savannah River at Olympia Café
"The Dresser Palmer House was absolutely amazing. The facility was clean and incredibly beautiful. The staff was wonderful... I would recommend the Dresser-Palmer a hundred times over. We can't wait to go back."-- Hotels.com

Fernando is a very fine host with a very nice appartmenr.
The appartment is less than 10 minutes walk from the city-centre,
All the stuff you need to make a fine breakfast or a meal are present
in the appartment. The biggest indoor market (Mercado Central) is also
a 10 minute walk to buy all the fresh ingredients.
A nice bedroom, with a fine bed and a clean bathroom make the appartment complete. Tip: rent bycicles a explore the city centre, the city park (Jardin del Turia) and the beach area.
Dit appartement zouden we iedereen aanbevelen. Het appartement is erg schoon, netjes afgewerkt en de locatie is perfect: in het centrum op loopafstand van alle bezienswaardigheden en in een rustige straat.
Het contact is ook goed bevallen. Nadat we via de mail duidelijke richting aanwijzingen hadden gekregen, werden we op locatie hartelijk ontvangen door Fernando en zijn vrouw. Dit ondanks vertraging van ons vliegtuig waardoor we pas rond middernacht aankwamen. Fernando helpt graag en je kan hem altijd bellen of appen. Ook mochten we onze koffers de laatste dag in een ander appartement laten staan, zodat we ook van deze dag optimaal konden genieten.
We would recommend this apartment to anyone. The apartment is very clean, well maintained and the location is ideal: within walking distance of all places of interest and in a quiet street.
The contact with the owners was also nice. After we had received clear directions via email, we were warmly welcomed at the apartment by Fernando and his wife. This although, we just arrived around midnight due to delay of our plain. Fernando likes to help and you can call or app him at any time. On the last day we also got to leave our suitcases at another apartment, so we could enjoy that day to the fullest as well.
this appartement is really great! It is perfect: in the middle of the city, it is very clean en everything is available like at home! Fernando and his wife are very nice people. They helped us wen we arrived, offered help in the city if we neded. We had a very nice stay in Valencia en the appartment felt like being home!!
I stayed in Fernando's apartment during the month of April as a solo traveler. As other guests have noted, the location is great. The apartment is clean and has been carefully furnished with everything a traveler could need. Fernando is quick to respond to all communications. I highly recommend this listing.
Friendly and uncomplicated reception by Fernando. The appartment is extremely well equipped, even the basic kitchen and bathroom utilities (coffee, sugar, toiletpaper,..) are there, so no need for annoying shopping at arrival. Perfectly (!) clean, well kept and exactly as portrayed the appartment is situated in a calm but very central location. A child cot and chair are provided and there is an elevator in the building, which makes it an ideal place to stay with a young child.
All in all, highly recommended!
A perfect apartment for 2 people.
Clean, new, luxury. Situated in downtown.
Buses for oceanographer and zoo is nearby.
20 minutes from the sea. Supermarket "Consum" behind the block.
Restaurants dozens.
Rare to find an apartment so well done.
I recommend total
Thank you Fernando
The apartment is very well equipped, clean and the location is perfect.
The apartment location is very close to the old city center. All in walking distance, shops, restaurants, metro stations.
Perfect location. Crystal clean. Well appointed. Convenient arrangements. An excellent choice for a stay in Valencia. A bit of late night noise from the street, but all the positives outweighed this issue.
Thank you, Fernando!!!!!
The flat is just like on the photographs, but even cozier :) The hosts were very nice and we felt like home. Located very centrally, just a short walk away from city center and shops, this flat is a great basis for the exploration of the beautiful city and a place we were glad to come back to at the evenings. I would recommend this flat and the hosts to my friends and family and will be glad to come again for my next Valencia visit.
Wonderful location on perfect place in the old town of Valencia. Fernanda y Juana are very nice and helpful hosts. Apartment was perfectly equipped and clean, and good reachable by metro, bus and car. We cannot say anything negative about it; we only can recommend it. An ideal place for two persons.

Gallery Tour: Crossroads
Saturday, March 30, 2013
The rise of the modern, industrial world in nineteenth-century Europe inspired artists to explore new subjects and approaches to painting to reveal the sometimes unpleasant realities of modern life. In short, artists found themselves at a crossroads between old and new. Jean-Léon Gérôme, John Everett Millais and Ferdinand Hodler, celebrated artists from this period, each emphasize the complexity of nineteenth century life.
Please join Salvador Salort-Pons on a tour of DIA's European paintings from the latter half of the nineteenth century as he explores the divergent styles and subject matter behind these masterpieces.
Exclusively for EPC Members and their guests. In order to bring a guest, you must be at the $100 EPC membership level or above. To RSVP or for more information, please contact Virginia Reynolds at (313) 833-9162 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Clear and easy to use, great accommodation in the middle of Berlin.
Übersichtliche und einfache Handhabung, tolle Unterkünfte in Mitten der Hauptstadt Berlin.
everything is great. very nice hosts, very helpful and straightforward. happy again. ;-)
alles super. sehr nette gastgeber, sehr hilfsbereit und unkompliziert. gerne wieder. ;-)
Very nice host: all very relaxed and uncomplicated. Apartment is fully equipped and very central location (100 m from U2 Schönhauser Allee). Ideal as a starting point for the nightlife of Berlin!
Sehr netter Gastgeber: alles ganz entspannt und unkompliziert. Wohnung ist komplett ausgestattet und in sehr zentraler Lage (100 m neben U2-Schönhauser Allee). Ideal als Startpunkt für das Nachtleben Berlins!
- Nice and central location with easy access to the city - friendly and helpful hosts - it could have been cleaner (dust / hair was everywhere to be seen and wipe is one of them ...) - unfortunately, the previous tenant probably strong at parties, so that it on the first night smelled of alcohol unbearable
- schöne zentrale Lage mit guter Anbindung in die Stadt
- freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber
- es hätte sauberer sein können (Staub/Haare waren überall zu sehen und wischen gehört auch dazu...)
- leider waren die Vormieter wohl kräftig am Feiern, so dass es am ersten Abend unerträglich nach Alkohol gerochen hat
Fantastic area to stay and a quiet, comfortable flat.
great apartment in the best neigbourhood in Berlin!
A highly recommendable flat, especially if you are looking to stay a bit longer than just a couple of days, like we did. Situated in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg we had a train station in 2 min walking distance, including all shops and stores you could ever want. We were very close to Mauerpark, a popular park especially on Sundays, so were Kastanienallee with numerous great restaurants and bars and with Mitte round the corner we just couldn't be more central with our oasis of an apartment. The flat was so gorgeously done up, with modern furniture that had a 60's touch to it and a bathroom with a tub to soak in and best was the washing machine and a tumble dryer on top. We couldn't have asked for more.
Alan and Kasia have a great apartment in Prenzlauer Berg. It is very clean and has everything to make your stay comfortable starting from internet access and a washing machine to umbrellas for the rainy Berlin weather.
Also they were very helpful at any time (even when I forgot the keys in the apartment on a Saturday afternoon) and therefore deserve 10 out of 10 points.
Sehr schöne Wohnung, alles vorhanden und sauber. Der einzige Minuspunkt ist wegen der Parkplatzsuche..
Ausstattung wie beschrieben, sehr nett und die ideale Lage für Unternehmungen in Berlin!

- Members generate approximately $9.6 billion in luxury travel sales annually
- Best bar, best spa and hotel of year announced
It was a frenetic week in Vegas for members of the luxury-travel industry.
Virtuoso, the self-proclaimed "leading luxury travel network," hosted its annual travel conference at the Bellagio last week.
Virtuoso's members reportedly generate around $9.6 billion in luxury travel sales each year.
More than 4,200 industry members from 90 countries were in town for this year's speeches, luncheons and the luxury travel industry's equivalent of speed dating (four-minute meetings), with the aim of closing extravagant bookings.
Just how extravagant?
A three-night, $450,000 wedding at Mexican luxury resort Rosewood Mayakoba closed within four minutes for VIP travel agent Jack Ezon, who told Las Vegas Review-Journal that Virtuoso Travel Week was "the most important week of the year" for his company.
The network also announced its annual Best of the Best Hotel Awards, which honors 10 winners from the network's portfolio of 983 luxury properties around the world.
The winning hotels were picked by editors of Virtuoso Life, the network's travel magazine, based on feedback from its reported 200,000 readers. Take a look at their choices below:

Leaked here in these first photos, the 2015 Legacy picks up some cues from the brash Legacy Concept revealed at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, but it loses some impact and gains a pair of rear doors versus the showcar. There's little new visual ground broken, but the overall look is more harmonious than its balloon-fendered predecessor. As is often the case, it has features that make us think of other cars, but overall, it looks to be a handsome (if conservative) design. We particularly like the sleeker roofline and the bold front grille treatment – the latter will likely serve well as the face of the next Outback.http://www.autoblog.com/2014/02/04/2015-subaru-legacy-leaked-chicago/
Alternate title: Here's how good the 2015 Subaru Legacy won't look.
----------------------Chevy runs derp.
Are the "hawk-eye" headlights mounted too high? I think the headlight tops should line up with the side highlight instead of the bottoms. It would allow the hood to be slightly lowered improving the look of the entire front end.
It simultaneously looks like a Regal, Taurus, and Sonata.
It's nice all while looking it came out five years ago...and that black plastic on the mirrors looks horrible.
Not ground-breaking, but looks good.
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
well it looks boring and the interior looks like garbage as usual and as expected
It is amazing how Subaru manages every time to make their cars uglier and uglier.I truly don't get it ...
-----------------------------Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary… that's what gets you. – Jeremy Clarkson
As long as it's better than the current model inside and out (which to me it is) then IDGAF if it's this boring. I didn't like the Passat either, but it's better in person.
----------When life throws you a curve, downshift and take it vigorously.Pheobe's@478,000-ish miles. (RIP original engine 475k)Youtube
Wow, what a disappointment. The front screams Malibu/Camry, and the rear is all RLX. The interior looks a lot cheaper too.
BORING!!! And im sure it's even more portly that the outgoing model.Subaru, I have owned 2 new cars of yours in the past 10yrs. Judging from what I see and have SEEN, they will be my last.
I think it's a better looking version of the new Genesis up front haha
---------'15 Mustang GT Premium 6spd'90 325i 'vert 5spd
Frisky Dingo:It simultaneously looks like a Regal, Taurus, and Sonata.I was thinking Taurus, Sonata, CTS, with a bit of last gen Legacy mixed in.
---------------------------------------------------On the internet you can be anything you want. Its strange that so many people choose to be stupid.

The new Better Bee catalog includes a description of this "new Biochemical miticide for varroa mite control", to be sprayed directly on frames of brood. Has anyone used it, or does anyone have more information?
The new Better Bee catalog includes a description of this "new Biochemical miticide for varroa mite control", to be sprayed directly on frames of brood. Has anyone used it, or does anyone have more information?
Do you know the name of the product??
Daisy: the chemical is sucoride (check the title )
Margot: check out the dadant and mann lake catalogs thay have more info.
opps sorry daisy maybe i should watch my tipeing the chemical is Sucrocide
It is not a very convienant treatment. You have to pull each frame out and spray it on both sides. You can use a pump up type spayer, oh boy... and you can expect 80% mite knock down.
I don't think I will be in line for this one, espicially when oxalic is so easy to use and much more effective.
I have two packages coming in April - plan on spraying the bees while they are still in their cage in the morning before setting them into their hives in the late afternoon.
Hi Martin
Sucrocide was discussed at the ABF in Florida, and spraying packages as an application was mentioned too. Just a warning  be careful not to drown too many bees.
If a job is worth doing - Then do it well
OK thanks for the info...
I sprayed like this last summer with my lemongrass stuff.
I'll be doing it again this year in late July or early August...
I like to know what the product is made with/from. Bio such and such, doesn't tell me much. LOL
Well from the name (if its an indicator and not just a tradename), it may be made from sucrose somehow.
Dusting them with powdered sugar is cheaper, by far, and won't drown as many bees and is up to 90% effective at dislodging the mites. Just pull the can of feed and the queen out, and dust it from the sreen side of the box. Agitate it well and it will dislodge the mites.
They don't ship to Kansas Daisy. But they will ship to me in Missouri.If your lemongrass mix is working why bother?
What is that stuff? -Cide on the end is a killer.
I'll pass on that one.
On Dec 26th I posted a link to the EPA's evaluation of Sucrose Octanoate.
Here's the link to my post:

MB, can you be a little more descriptive? I'm worried about bashing their little brains out against the side of the cage. Do I want to set up a rolling sea sort of motion or do I want it to look like the inside of a corn popper? How physical do I have to get to knock the mites loose? How much sugar will it take to dust a 3# package,...a tablespoon?...a cup?
A couple of tablespoons full will cover a package pretty well. Just shake them enough to distribute the sugar. The bees will be clustered and you have to break up that cluster enough to get sugar to the middle of it. Obviously it's a matter of "just right". Too hard is not good and too softly won't dislodge them. I'm not sure how else to describe it. It's like grandma's recipes where you put a "little" of this and a "dash" of that. It's hard to quantify.
If the bees are all white like they've been rolling in white pollen, then you got it.
I suppose you could do it more gradually, like sprinkle some from each side of the package and then knock down the cluster and then repeat until they look like they are nicely "floured".
hopefully somebody comes up with a way to administer this stuff in a fog or vapor form. i dont know of anyone that will be using it in the current method.
The powdered sugar method is just as good, much cheaper and just as much work. To do it on a hive you either use one of the fume methods to run all the bees out of the hive and powder them then put them back.
I agree if they got the sucrocide in some kind of fogger it would have some promise.
So far I like the oxalic acid better for a once a year treatment. The FGMO fog is a bit more work, but if you hives are in your back yard it's not that much trouble.
