Not Your Grandma's Egg Nog
Sip on something different this holiday season: Cousin Eddie and Santa's Whiskers
From left: Bedford mixologist Pete Gugni with 42Below brand ambassador Borys Saciuk
You've only got a handful of days to light up your liver with your favorite holiday drink before it's back to seasonal beers and whatever other poison helps you get through the winter. But instead of reaching for that candy cane martini you hate yourself for ordering (but oh, how it tastes like Christmas in your mouth) or that Peppermint Schnapps-and-something, go for one of these curiously tasty holiday-themed libations, neither of which will leave you questioning your sexuality after the last sip.
The brainchild of master mixologist Pete Gugni and 42Below's Borys Saciuk (above), cocktails "Cousin Eddie" and "Santa's Whiskers" call for a little more muscle work behind your at-home bar than you're probably used to. The result? More than worth it.
For lazy Chicagoans wanting to try these wintry concoctions but not wanting to put in the elbow grease, head over to The Bedford in Wicker Park this season and let them make one for you. The 1920s bank-turned-bar boasts a backdrop that'll have you uploading mobile pics from your visit after you've "checked in" to the place on Facebook. They've even preserved the bank's floor-to-ceiling vault door, which acts as a partition between the lounge area and the dining room, making you feel like both an undercover detective and 10 years old again. There's also an entire wall lined with original lockboxes that you can't help but want to touch and peer into. You wouldn't be the first.
So whether you find yourself in Chicago's hipster hub or are looking to impress your relatives with something different this year, remember Cousin Eddie and Santa's Whiskers. They won't disappoint.

I opened my two tbh's in an outyard, and they are a puzzle to me. I heard that the neighbor had to take down their hummingbird feeder because the bees were all over it, so I went and had a look. Plenty of bees, but small brood patches, lots of open comb - and little to no honey at all in either one! Saw both queens, saw eggs, but the brood just appears contained in smallish areas. It seems as if they don't have enough food to support a lot of brood.
So I don't know what to make of that. It could be that there just isn't enough good forage. But that seems crazy. There are tons of blackberries, raspberries, and ditch wildflowers for miles. Goldenrod is taking off now too. My other thought is that they were just too weak as splits this spring, and never got strong enough to really take advantage of the flow, and are just eating too much of the stores - so can't feed a ton of brood. But they came with the old queens, and didn't have to raise one...
I don't know. There is a little honey - but very little. Mostly very open, empty combs with small patches of brood. No crazy amount of drones. Very few. Doesn't appear to be a problem with the queens. No queen cells; empty cups.
So I promptly mixed up some 2:1, thick syrup and put it on both. I'll be back this weekend, and it will be interesting to see how they take it. When I put it on, they seemed pretty excited - you know? They way they can appear "happy" about discovering something? We'll see.
We fed them earlier - in June - and they really weren't interested. So I don't know what to think there.
Maybe you have some ideas?

Today's delivery of the 100th A380 marks another milestone for Airbus' 21st century flagship jetliner, which demonstrates daily the capability to increase capacity, enhance productivity, generate more revenue and improve the profit for its operating airlines – all while being a good neighbour with low noise and emission levels.
In reaching this "century mark" with an aircraft provided to Malaysia Airlines, the 100th delivery underscores the A380's global reach – particularly in the Asia-Pacific market, where the jetliner responds to operators' needs for growth, high levels of service quality and superior range performance. In fact, 65 percent of A380 capacity is to, from, or within Asia-Pacific, with more than 50,000 seats offered on nearly 500 services performed every week.
In addition to its high-profile Asia-Pacific presence, the double-deck jetliner is a familiar sight in Europe – with some 250 weekly services to destinations in this market, as well as in North America – performing over 200 services per week.
Overall, A380s regularly operate at more than 30 airports globally and cover some 65 scheduled routes that circle the world with the nine current operators: Malaysia Airlines, Air France, China Southern, Emirates, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Thai Airways International.
Underscoring its attractiveness not only at major hub facilities such as London-Heathrow, Los Angeles International, Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Frankfurt, the A380 performs scheduled operations to destinations that include Auckland, Manchester, Montreal, Jeddah and Johannesburg.
"In its sixth year of service, the A380 is delivering on all commitments, and exceeds the expectations, confirming that our motto: 'Love at first flight' is true for both the airlines and their passengers," said Richard Carcaillet, Airbus' Director of A380 Product Marketing.
• For additional information on the 100th A380 delivery, see the Airbus press release.

I was suiting up last night, for the first time, and caught my machined knee darts on the afghan on my bed on thew way to the bathroom mirror.
It broke off right at the line where the "dart block" meets the knee. Clean snap. So I fiberglassed inside the remaining 3 knee tabs, and used velcro to hold the broken side together for now- I don't think it'll take to fixing very well. That's where RA attaches the sides to the knee, but it broke the piece that he glues to the back for reinforcement.
I guess I should have seen it coming....I glued elastic straps to them, and had to slide them all the way on. I probably weakened it- It's only styrene
Anyone else have a similar problem? Did fixing them help any, or should I just replace them?

Excerpt: "Pat Flaherty, the Giants offensive line coach, doesn't want Justin Pugh to think of any opponent as a specific person.
If his technique is right and his footwork is sound, it shouldn't matter who he is facing; a list that will include the likes of Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka when full padded practices begin on Thursday.
"Coach Flaherty's real big on having a faceless opponent and going out there and just executing what you need to do, on what your job is and making sure you get that done," Pugh said Monday.
But in many ways, Pugh knows his toughest opponent has already been laid out in front of him. He goes to meetings with him and sometimes works in the same huddle.
Since he was drafted, and the Giants looked to settle him in at right tackle, it became clear that a training camp battle was under way. Pugh is the first-round pick. David Diehl, the incumbent right tackle, is the tenured veteran.
And as far as Flaherty is concerned, it's Diehl's to lose. Pugh will get the same amount of reps but with the second string. There's a chance he'll learn the left tackle position later on, but not in the coming days.
"Right tackle is David Diehl with Justin Pugh working at right tackle," Flaherty said when asked to lay out the competition. "That's where we're starting out here in training camp and we'll continue to progress that way. And it'll work its way out, whatever which way it's going to work. Both of them are getting the same amount of reps and we have a lot of confidence in David Diehl as well as Justin Pugh will get there as he continues to work." Read more...

New Fox Series 'Lie To Me' Based on Paul Ekman's Work
LIE TO ME, the compelling new drama from the producers of 24, stars Tim Roth ("The Incredible Hulk," "Reservoir Dogs") as DR. CAL LIGHTMAN, the world's leading deception expert who studies facial expressions and involuntary body language to discover not only if someone is lying, but why. When someone shrugs one shoulder, rotates a hand or raises the lower lip, Lightman knows he's lying.
Based on the real-life scientific discoveries of Paul Ekman, the series follows Lightman and his team of deception experts as they assist law enforcement and government agencies to expose the truth behind the lies.
Paul Ekman is the major force behind Facial Action Coding System (FACS)
and author of many definitive books on the topic with others such as Erika Rosenberg and Wallace V. Friesen. Here's how his site describes what his group does:
The Paul Ekman Group - pioneers in research on emotions and deception - provides training programs that help individuals and groups better understand emotions and become more effective at distinguishing truth and lies. Emotions Revealed training increases your ability to recognize and regulate emotions in yourself and in others.
Hope this one lasts,

UTSA unveils vision to move into premier ranks
(July 30, 2004)--Already one of the fastest-growing major universities in the U.S. and a leader in providing access to higher education for Hispanics, The University of Texas at San Antonio today unveiled details of a plan to elevate the institution over the next decade into the ranks of the premier research universities in the nation.
During a celebration of UTSA's 35th anniversary with UT System Board of Regents Chairman James Huffines, UTSA President Ricardo Romo outlined a far-reaching plan that will add research faculty recruited from top-tier institutions to dramatically increase the number of doctoral programs and research centers at the university.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

Pictured in the top photo are (from left) Texas Senators Jeff Wentworth, Leticia Van de Putte and Judith Zaffirini with Romo. The senators brought a congratulatory message from Gov. Rick Perry. In the lower photo are Huffines and Romo at a reception after the program.
In the growth process, UTSA's tenure and tenure-track faculty of 450 will more than double. According to Romo, the initiatives are designed to drive a research agenda critical not only to UTSA but to the economic potential of San Antonio and the region.
UTSA should see enrollment pass 26,000 in the coming academic year, compared to 18,000 students just five years ago, Romo said. To accommodate future growth UTSA will embark on a building program surpassing $500 million.
"As one of the youngest institutions in the 15-member UT System, UTSA has made remarkable progress in only 35 years," Romo said. "Over the next decade, this new vision will transform UTSA into the premier research university that the eighth-largest city in the country deserves."
"As a result, we're seeing that UTSA is now in a position to compete for the finest faculty in the country, which is critical to developing the programs and attracting the research funding and the top-level doctoral students that corporations seek. At the same time, we are introducing new programs to help us maintain our commitment to participation and access. We have succeeded in improving retention and graduation rates and we will continue to work for the success of our students -- to help Texas and San Antonio close the educational gaps that impede economic and social progress," Romo said.
"Thirty-five years is not a long time in the life of an educational institution, yet, in these 35 years, UTSA has established itself as a vital part of life in San Antonio and an important contributor to the economy and the future of South Texas," said Huffines. "In five short years, President Romo has done an outstanding job for this university, building on its strengths, encouraging it to improve and making it a source of hope and pride for this community. He is a creative, energetic and inspiring leader and one we are grateful to have in the System and in San Antonio."
Specifics of the university's "Roadmap to Excellence" initiative include:
- Hiring 600 new faculty -- 75 a year for 8 years; faculty will then total more than 1,000.
- The creation of 10 distinguished chairs, each funded at $1 million; 3 chairs funded at $500,000 each and 2 distinguished professorships funded at $250,000 each.
- Adding two doctoral programs a year over 10 years to the existing 12 programs to reach a total of 32. A physics doctorate will be offered in partnership with San Antonio's Southwest Research Institute, the first partnership of its kind established in Texas.
- The creation of 3 new research centers including the San Antonio Institute for Cellular and Molecular Primatology, the Institute for Aging Research and the Institute for Bioengineering and Translational Research.
- A building program set at more than $500 million to fund laboratory and classroom space, and student housing and support. For example, the $83.7 million, 227,000-square- foot Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building scheduled to open in 2005 is expected to be one of the largest science-related educational facilities in Texas with additional phases planned for 2007 and 2009.
- Recruiting top-level faculty including six new faculty members collectively bringing more than $6 million in external research funding to UTSA. The six were tenured full professors at institutions such as Case Western Reserve, Johns Hopkins, the Medical College of Ohio and the University of Georgia.
- A total of nearly 1,000 doctoral students at UTSA by 2010.
- In addition to Southwest Research Institute, the expansion of key partnerships with Southwest Biomedical Foundation, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and San Antonio's military bases. Such collaboration is critical to attracting top-level faculty who can receive joint appointments at partner institutions, and to creating research centers that can compete on a national level for research funding.
- Student life initiatives including projects that enhance the campus environment, athletic programs and student services -- all designed to contribute to the retention and success of UTSA students.

There's a common myth among managers—that they are the only drivers and decision makers for their teams and, therefore, can't take time off. In reality, regardless of the team or workgroup you manage, your team makes decisions without you all the time.
I caught up with Fred, a friend of longstanding, just before what I thought would be his normal two- to three-week vacation in August. "Where are you going this year, Fred? Are you bicycling or white water rafting? Or something else exciting? I can't wait to live vicariously through you again!"
"I'm not going anywhere this year, JR," Fred said dejectedly. "I'm way too valuable to take a vacation."
"Who said that?" I stood there with my mouth open in astonishment. "You need your vacations. They energize you. And people like me actually want to see your vacation pictures!"
"Nope. I've decided. I'm a manager now. If I take a vacation, who will make all the decisions? How will my team know what to do? I'll just stay here and make the sacrifice. No more vacations for me."
"Fred, are you sick? Did you lose all your money in the stock market? Did Jeannie leave you and take the children? Is there something seriously wrong?"
"No," he said in his best Eeyore voice. "My team members depend on me. I can't let them down. I must support them. I must. I must." As Fred ambled down the hall, I stood there dumbfounded.
Fred is laboring under a fairly common myth—that they are the only drivers and decision makers for their teams. That's a dangerous belief. First, because it means that you can never delegate work to the team and trust them to do the work. Second, because it means you can never work yourself out of this job to another job. Third, because it's not true, regardless of the team or workgroup you manage, agile or not. Your team makes decisions without you all the time.
So, how did things get this way?
"Please Stay in Touch While You are Gone"
When I first started to work, we didn't have cell phones or pagers. And, long distance calls were expensive. When we took vacations, we were gone, totally out of touch. That meant that regardless of our position in the organization, we had to explain to someone else the state of our work. It didn't matter if I was a manager or not—and for my first few vacations I most certainly was not—I had to explain to someone what I was working on and where my colleagues could find the necessary details.
In the same way, when my managers went on vacation, they delegated their management responsibilities to other people. Sometimes they chose an acting manager. Sometimes, they spread their responsibilities around. One year, I was the acting software support manager for two weeks. Another fellow was the acting software development manager for two weeks. A third colleague was the acting project manager. We didn't realize it, but it was a two-week long test to see if we could organize ourselves and get along with each other while our boss was on vacation. I'm delighted to say we passed!
These days, we have easy and inexpensive electronic access to each other. Most of the time, this is great. "Please stay in touch while you are gone," sounds like an innocuous request, doesn't it? But it creates an environment for bad management because it allows us to be lazy about our demarcation between work and vacation.
When you stay in touch on your vacation, several problems occur:
- You are not taking a real vacation to decompress and let yourself relax. A vacation is a chance to get away, to be away from emails, from phone calls, from the pager, from all electronic tethers to the office, not just the physical tether. When your boss or your team requests that you stay in touch, you do not ensure that you take the time to explain the state of all your work. So, you don't. Because, you know that someone can reach you. Then you don't really decompress on vacation because at least a little part of your brain is still worrying about work.
- Because you have not fully delegated specific work to your team members or your boss, you are not building a succession plan. You are not experimenting with anyone who might be able to take work from you, in a relatively safe way. Without a succession plan, you can never move from this role to another in the organization. You are stuck.
- When you do not take the time to delegate specific work to your team members, they cannot take the work from you, which implies that you do not trust them. You may not mean to imply that you don't trust them, but your actions say that you don't.
- I bet your team doesn't always understand your concerns and issues. When you delegate your issues to team members, they have more empathy for your management problems. You may not be able to delegate all the issues to your team if they are sensitive in some way. You may have to delegate some of the issues to your boss, who might be surprised by some of your problems, too.
- You lose the potential perspective you might gain from noodling your problems while you are not under a deadline. I find that when I put problems aside for a while and don't actively work on them, I return refreshed with a new outlook. After a vacation, you might discover the same thing.
- You lose the perspective another person might provide on the problems you currently manage. Aside from gaining perspectives on your problems while you are on vacation, other people see your problems differently than you do. When you don't share your problems, you lose the opportunity to see how other people perceive them.

|unrelated photo of happiness :)
It's been a while since I wrote an update about my marathon training. Read my first post to get caught up. I'm already up to 16 miles on my long runs! The training has been really hard, but running for a charity has given me so much perspective. Something I didn't always have . . .
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time at the beginning of my senior year in high school. I remember having mix feelings of hope and mystery. Did they catch it early enough? Would she just have to take a few pills? Would she lose her hair this time? It had been 8 years since she last had cancer. What was going to happen to her this time? To our family? Everything is going to be fine, right?
At the time, I was the secretary of my senior class and started to slack off on my duties. The teacher in charge of the student government pulled me into her office shortly after Christmas break. I felt so guilty. I apologized for missing meetings and told her I was going to do better.
She stopped me and said, "Whoa, whoa. Don't worry about it. You're doing fine. Is everything ok with your mother? And those missed meetings, oh please. Just try your best."
I was shocked that she was being so understanding. She wasn't the warm and fuzzy type. And plus I thought I had things to do! The senior class voted for me to take notes during the meetings. To come up with ideas for Prom! The whole system wouldn't work without a secretary!
But it was the way she was looking at me. Waiting for me to say something. I knew then my mother's illness was more serious than I thought. It's not that my advisor knew more about my mom's cancer than I did, but she had perspective. Something most people lack at 18 years-old. I know I did.
And so each month went by. My mother had chemo. She lost her hair. Her hospital stays started getting longer. I got special permission to visited her in the hospital on my lunch period. Sometimes I would crawl in her bed and snuggle up to her. I must have looked ridiculous, but I missed her too much to care. After a while she would whisper, "It kind-of hurts" and I would feel bad. Then I'd crawl out, tell her I love her, hug her (again! ouch) and drive back to school.
I had English, then art. It's amazing I even went back each day. But, again, it's perspective. I didn't realize running for the hills was an option. No one would blame me if I did, really, but I kept doing everything as normal as possible. I went to Prom, went to Disney World for Grad Night, and finally graduated.
My mom wasn't able to watch me walk across the stage on graduation day. She was pretty sick by that point and the doctors didn't want her to leave the hospital. Seeing this old picture of me from that day still shocks me. A smile? Really? But I remember being happy. To be with friends and family. To finish high school. To move on.
|with my friend Eric
She never got to see me fly away to college. Hear my first love story with Rob. Watch me get married. Meet my kids and cheer me on through motherhood. She was such a great cheerleader. The way she waved her arms in the air, wobbled her knees, and hollered is ingrained in my memory. She wasn't one to hold back her emotions, especially when she was happy for someone else. I would have loved to see her cheering me on during this marathon. She cracked me up.
Which brings me back to perspective. These past few months of training, I've gained perspective on lots of things. For one, it's ok to run for the hills when life gets tough. Literally run for the hills. Either Harlem Hill or Cat Hill in Central Park will do. Sometimes both. It's done great things for me.
But more importantly, I've learned that no one should miss out on their kid's major milestones. Cancer took that away from my mother and so many other parents. We need a cure! I am so excited to help fund the research to find one. Please join me by donating here!
More about Fred's Team:
100% of the funds raised by Fred's Team go to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the nation's preeminent center for research and treatment devoted exclusively to cancer, and at least 80 percent of the total supports pioneering research.
I specifically choose to raise money for breast cancer.

"Great Recipe!! I make a few minor adjustments. I use Jennie O ground breakfast turkey sausage. I use 2 tbls of butter and 2 heaping tbls of flour. I also use 2 percent milk but I use 2 cups instead of 2.5. Turns out perfect everytime!"

At my house, I am the fix-it person for a number of reasons. I really like fixing things instead of throwing them out. Today's throw-away culture is not good for the environment and not good for the wallet. I also like to keep old tech around for possible uses in projects. When I have to get tools, or parts for Apple devices I always check iFixit.com to see what they have to help with the repair. They not only stock parts for repairs, they also host a repair guide site, which is a great source whether you are repairing an iPhone, a Nintendo DS or replacing the brake pads on a 2005 Ford Focus. The repair guide is a wiki format and constantly being updated so if you have some repair knowledge feel free to contribute.
Every repair job, or project I get myself involved in invariably has a host of tiny screws that need to be managed. Normally I would toss them into a plastic holder or tape them to a piece of paper so I could write a note next to the part. During my last visit to iFixit I found the solution I was looking for with the iFixit Magnetic Project Mat.

We need Swarming players, and a MLB whos at least adequete at dropping into coverege, and Minter is better then both Johnson and Taylor at that, and hes better at getting to all parts of the field better as well, as opposed to taylor and Johnson,. who are both 2down straight line thumpers.. Minters a thumper, but hes also somewhat of a playmaker, and is a bit underrated at getting all over the field and not just straight ahead.. U don't have 20tackle and 19tackle games, unless ur all over the field, u just don't.. Nico JOhnson and Bruce Taylor coulden't dream of being that active...
I highly doubt Lane Johnson or Xavier Rhodes are available at #31.
To the OP - Kiko Alonso is a steal in the 3rd? I beg to differ. He's a 5th-7th and could go undrafted. He's slow, takes bad angles...etc.
EDIT: I definitely think Minter is more of a thumper and definitely swarms into plays and is a playmaker. That's why I like him and why he's a higher rated prospect.... I do not think his is more mobile than Nico though. Nico seems thinner in the hips and legs and looks like he moves better, which is why I think he'd better in coverage... Minter seems like he can see where a play is going and gets there quickly and with power but seems more like a straightline LB to me. It will be interesting to see what their times are the combine/pro day. There's a reason that Minter is the better prospect, he's a manimal. But don't really think he's more mobile... definitely more powerful.

Does anyone know where I can find more tape of Bruce Taylor? I only watched him in his bowl game and he looked great. A perfect mid to late round selection for us, allowing our first and second picks to be used on cb/ol/de.

- Alonso entered Saturday's showdown having already posted 42 tackles, including eight tackles for loss and a sack on the season. He's also proved to be a turnover magnet, registering two interceptions and has both forced and recovered a fumble. Despite playing the same position, Alonso isn't a mauler in the middle like Notre Dame's Manti Te'o, the unquestioned top inside linebacker in the country. Whereas the Irish star has the perfect build for stuffing the run at 6-2, 255 pounds, Alonso has a slimmer, more athletic build at 6-3, 242 pounds that some scouts believe could make him valuable in the NFL because he'll likely be able to play all three positions in a normal 4-3 alignment. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com

It will be unfortunate if we need to go back in retrospect but can't because people have already set their teams in concrete. You may have to take it on the chin Marcuss.
Mind you, your team is excellent as it stands. If it doesn't get votes then I'll put on high-heals, a little red dress, lipstick, and then head-off to a skinheads convention.
As happens with such interviews, though, there is always a question you later wish you'd asked but didn't. For me that question was: "Why do you continue to care about cricket?" After all, the late John Arlott once said of Brearley that he understands, in the greater scheme of things, it doesn't really matter.
Perhaps the answer to the unasked question might have been this: "We all look for things to give meaning to life and sometimes they can even be found in a game." - Tim Lane, SMH (2015)
It's all been resolved now Was a few crossed wires along the way but I think everyone's happy now.
And cheers Struggling for these last two spots now though!

It will be interesting if Cevno/Marcuss wins this draft. If the majority of people are okay with the idea, I would like to split the votes they earn so that both players are rewarded. I think I mentioned it before, is it a good idea?
The first stage of this round is done, but Blakus chose someone who has already been drafted, so I will wait until he replies/the original timeout zone still stands, it's about an hour away
Richardson, Evans and Gower are now voodoo, also please not Langer was taken by Marcuss but it was marked in R10.

2009 GTA: Wild Wild West (Red Dead Redemption)
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 08:37 PM MDT | By Zidane
So, news on the regular Grand Theft Auto series is a little slow at the moment, and I'd like to take this opportunity to quickly tell you a little about Rockstar Games' next big project... it's a lot like Grand Theft Auto, in a sense, only it takes place in, well, the wild west. The game is called Red Dead Redemption, and it's a massive open world, just like Grand Theft Auto IV. It even runs on the same game engine as Grand Theft Auto IV, so it will probably play a lot like it. Oh, there's multiplayer, too! The first trailer for the game has been out since May, but the second was released very recently. You can check it out below!
For screenshots and additional information on the game, check out the official site. For constant updates, a community forum, and other news you can visit Red Dead Resource, and Rockstar Gaming. The game arrives April 27th, 2010.

Release the Chickens! Clucks comes to iPhone
Sep 28, 2012
Clucks is a turn-based game that uses twelve second videos to let players challenge their friends to guess a word they are describing (think Taboo). Players record a twelve second video describing the word, with five 'forbidden' words they're not allowed to use. Their opponent must guess the word being described while their reactions are recorded to create a fun action-reaction video that players can share with their friends.
Oh, and just to keep people from cheating and saying one of the "forbidden" words, Clucks is the first game to use Nuance's Dragon voice recognition software to keep players honest. If you cheat, the Donkey-police will come in and take away some points (which are called "clucks").
Don't have any friends? For solo players, we created the "Barnyard" - a repository of pre-recorded clues that a player can watch and guess against without having to play against anyone.
We're the first to partner with social video giant Viddy on a game like this, giving players the ability to post game videos to the Viddy community of more than 40 million active users.
By leveraging the fun of short-form videos, integrating Nuance's Dragon voice recognition to deter cheating, and partnering with Viddy to enable sharing, we have created a first-of-its-kind app that's fun and different.
Get Cluckin' with a free download from the iTunes app store by clicking here or learn more about how the game works by watching the video below.

Report: Kessel is steering toward a Maple Leafs trade
|09.18.09 at 10:16 am ET
The Toronto Maple Leafs are the first choice as a landing spot for B's winger Phil Kessel, according to a TSN report by Bob McKenzie, and could aggressively come at the Bruins with an offer sheet by this weekend if an agreeable trade isn't completed. The report underscores genuine interest in Kessel on the part of the Nashville Predators and a desire for the B's to ship the 21-year-old scorer off to the Western Conference if all things were equal, but the young sniper is reportedly steering a deal exclusively toward Toronto.
The reports paint a picture of Kessel in a cat-bird position of being able to refuse any other contract offers from other teams so long as the Maple Leafs are interested in his sniping services, and estimates that the B's restricted free agent is in line to cash in on an offer sheet from the Maple Leafs in the neighborhood of five or six years at an annual cap hit of $5.5 million. That's a healthy step up from the previous estimates that the young forward was looking for a pact of roughly $4.5 million per season, but speaks to just how badly Toronto needs some offensive punch.
The Boston Globetossed out a potential three-way deal between the Rangers, Bruins and Leafs that would net the B's draft picks and equally unsigned RFA Brandon Dubinsky, but not sure that's anything more than some creative spit-balling. It would involve a lot of moving parts to get three teams moving onto the same page this close to the regular season.
A Leafs/Bruins trade has been centered largely upon draft picks during multiple conversations between Toronto GM Brian Burke and Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli, but the talks have also also included several young, cost-effective players possibly being sent Boston's way during a potential deal.
Former UVM skater Viktor Stalberg is one intriguing forward prospect that caught the eye of more than one Bruins player during Wednesday night's preseason game at the Air Canada Centre. It wouldn't be shocking to see the former Catamounts forward included in part of a package that already includes multiple draft picks in excess of the offer sheet compensation required to potential sign Kessel (a first round pick, a second round pick and a third round pick).
By all accounts Kessel and agent Wade Arnott are now steering the USS Kessel straight toward Toronto and seem to be locking in on Boston's Northeast Division rival while holding the requisite leverage that they could simply sign an offer sheet with Toronto should Chiarelli trade him anywhere else. That threat takes on added significance with so many teams so close to finalizing their salary cup numbers and finishing player payroll budgets just shy of the Oct. 1 season-opening deadline to get under the $56.8 million cap.
One cavaet that the Kessel camp should consider carefully before pushing so strongly for a long and prosperous deal with the Maple Leafs: Kessel is significantly Garbo-esque when it comes to dealing with the pressure and expectations from a good-sized media market like Boston, and playing under the the raised pressure and super-sized scrutiny synonymous with the Maple Leafs jersey would be taking it to a much higher level.
The 21-year-old sniper will be paid like a sniping savior for the huddled and weary masses of Leafs Nation, and he isn't yet equipped with the tools to deal with those kinds of lofty expectations. It could get ugly if Kessel underwhelms while coming back from a shoulder injury, or if his sometimes softer-side-of-Sears approach clashes with the dynamically stern duo of Ron Wilson and Brian Burke. By all accounts Kessel seems hell-bent on a final destination of Toronto, but this could be a classic case of "be careful what you ask for" when the young skater finally gets it.
Interesting comments from B's coach Claude Julien speaking during the first days of camp about the work put in over the summer by Blake Wheeler. The second-year player put in a great deal of work in the weight room gaining 15 pounds of muscle, and appears on the verge of some very good things working toward a potential spot on the top line with Marc Savard and Milan Lucic.
Julien began the answer addressing Wheeler's impressive work, but also seemed to provide some pretty interesting comments about where the disconnect might have been with a rare scoring talent like Phil Kessel. The 21-year-old winger made the Bruins team during his first year of pro hockey in 2006-07 under the structurally-challenged regime of Dave Lewis, and developed some bad habits amid an undesirable, losing atmosphere at a crucial point in the young hockey player's development.
"The one thing that really played in Blake's favor was that he had the opportunity to play on a team with a successful regular season," said Julien. "When you win games ' and see what it takes to play on a successful team that wins games on a night-in, night out basis ' then you're learning properly.
"Not everybody has the opportunity to be put into those [winning] situations, and you can play a lot ' but you're playing for a team that's struggling at the bottom of the standings. It doesn't mean that you're growing in the right environment. [Blake] was able to [learn properly], and I think that's an advantage he had over other players."
Hmmm. I wonder who the "other player" is?

Most of that guide is about building IT skills generally rather than pentesting skills specifically.
Curious to know what you perceive as being an overall good pentester? My definition of a thorough, good, and reliable pentester is someone who is versatile, can adapt and is experienced in a wide array of technologies.
So while you can wet your feet with content in books like CounterHack reloaded, that's all they're really good for.

I'm sure many will agree the pictures are too much and they should be able to grieve in private. I think many of us feel a need to somehow connect with them because we are still shocked and heartbroken. The outpouring of love I have been reading from Paul's admirers and fans is unbelievable. I hope his family knows the extent of it all. I hope it would comfort them. I am not really a cryer so I am shocked at myself of how overwhelming this has been to me. I've always admired him and was looking forward to his new films. The if onlys and what ifs of that day are so heart wrenching to me. I will really miss him. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Excerpt: "Former New York Giants linebacker Harry Carson looks back on his successful NFL career and admits that he wouldnt have played football if he knew what kind of effects it would have on him later on down the road.
From a physical risk standpoint, I knew that you could get hurt physically and I assumed that risk, said Carson, perCBS New York. But from a neurological risk standpoint, I didnt know. So knowing what I know now, I would never have played football.
Carson says he feel fine physically.
Physically I feel pretty good, he said. But you know there are days when I have not so good days, when I have headaches and blurred vision and all that stuff, so its something that Ive learned to live with. I live a pretty normal life.
Carson doesnt regret playing football." Read more...

. . .but will it be a fair trial?
Marissa Alexander, 32 year old mother of 3, has been serving a 20-year jail sentence for firing a warning shot into the wall in 2010 when her estranged abusive husband (against whom she had already filed a restraining order) entered the house where she was attempting to collect her belongings, and threatened her. After a trial considered by many to be undermined by racist application of Florida's "10-20-Life" laws, Marissa was convicted in 2012.
On September 26, 2013, Marissa's legal team won an appeal asking for a retrial because the jury's instructions on what was to be considered "self defense" were erroneous. However, as she was denied the same immunity under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" Laws that recently paved the way to George Zimmerman's acquittal in the murder of Trayvon Martin, Marissa's supporters are doubtful that a new trial by the same justice system will give her a fair chance to plead her case and are calling for charges against her to be dropped.
As detailed in this recent Colorlines interview with Mariame Kaba, who is working to free Marissa, tremendous doubt exists as to whether the racist American justice system (under which Marissa was convicted in the first place) will protect and acknowledge her inherent rights; both as a survivor of domestic violence and as a Black woman:
Kaba states: "My own personal sense of heartbreak has been around the notion, in this case, that Marissa couldn't be afraid, that she couldn't feel fear, and that the jury couldn't believe that she was afraid. That's deep. And that's why having another trial feels to me like a recipe for disaster—because I don't think her humanity is taken into account. I don't think people think that black women can feel scared, or that we have the ability to feel pain."
If you're interested, here is a petition you can sign in support of all charges against Marissa being dropped, or donate to help her with her legal fees.

Preparing for a redistricting battle
Original post made by [removed], Alamo, on Jun 13, 2011
Mary Piepho has stated that she wants to keep the San Ramon Valley together including Blackhawk, Tassajara Valley, and Dougherty Valley within the boundaries of SRV. She does not want Alamo and Diablo and she is not alone. District 2, 4 and 5 supervisors do not want Alamo and Diablo due to the political capabilities of wealth, power and counsel in our region. WE are dangerous to any supervisor in their view.
No supervisor wants Alamo in their district unless Alamo voters can be politically nullified by major cities' voters. Map and documentation reportedly to be the supervisors' preference discovered via Contra Costa Council members would see Alamo and Diablo disappearing into District 4's voting majority in Concord, Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek.

Many of the super wealthy, in other words those that have surpassed the level of the greedy selfish wealthy, are democrats, because they are highly intelligent thoughtful Americans.
The Alamo and Diablo republicans to which the letter writer refers are nullified not because of voters from Concord, Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek, but because of their arrogance and out of touch views of elitism, cronyism, and status-quoism.
I am willing to bet that the hotel worker, gardener, basic level manufacturing office worker and many others, who all work by the way, work far harder than you or your husband/wife. While the Alamo/Diablo wives run off for "Spa Days" because life is so hard in their mansions, or get $350 cut and color, or $120 Mani/Pedi's, or get hair extensions and rotating BoTox Injections all the while hiding robust clothing purchases from their spouses, and think nothing of buying $20/lb meats and fish.
Wake up to reality and realize that Alamo and Diablo are marginalized by your tired, dreary, greedy, selfish ideologies. Republicans may as well align themselves with the Arab world dictators that won't give up power. Trickle Down Economics has proven to be You've been tricked economics. What we need is the flood of spending not the trickle of water from granite countertops and golf club purchases.

Dear Editor,
John, as a passionate commentator, explains wealth discrimination that exists in factions of our Alamo region and 24/680 south corridor. Wealth rather than party creates this faction and its affects on aggregated politics in our county, state and to some extend federal governments impacting our region.
Points are well taken in consideration of such wealth. Outrage needs questions and responses from you as editor and your readership.
The reality of this exchange on your forum is to examine how the Alamo region, Saranap to Blackhawk, has mastered political dissent and actions using e-viral techniques and actions by resident counsel. At this point, supervisors realize that exceptional social media connections in our region have allowed nearly immediate outreach to 24/680 south corridor neighborhoods, delta region neighborhoods, and now into 680 north and west county.
The "District Six" movement represented by Contra Costa neighborhoods, east to west, is the challenge to supervisors that want to decide for us versus those that wish to represent our will and interests.
There is an exceptional difference and many that wish to pursue such defined representation.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

The Publishing Process
In a nutshell, this is how must publications are produced in our office
- After we receive a manuscript, it is given to an editor who will review the copy for clarity, grammar, style and consistency, and sometimes other points, which we will discuss with you. As its basic style manual, the Office of Publishing Services uses the Chicago Manual of Style, published by the University of Chicago Press.
- The copy then goes to a designer who develops a layout and type specifications.
- When this phase is complete, you will be asked to review and proofread your publication before it goes to the printer.
- After you approve your publication, we will send it to our print ship or to a commercial printer, who is selected through a bid process initiated by the Office of Publishing Services. This, by the way, is necessary whenever outside services are required in order to meet state regulations.
- In most cases, your printed piece will be delivered within 10 days after it is received by the printer.
- Keep in mind that the above describes a near perfect world. Sometimes there are delays. The best way to avoid them is to give a complete and accurae copy the first time you present the manuscript and to resist making changes after the final layout is approved. The worst thing you can do is to make changes after your piece has been delivered to the printer. Of course, we offer different levels of service, as some projects may be handled differently. Remember, if you have a question, ask us.
Getting Started
- Talk to us. If you are sponsoring an event that requires posters, programs, or other materials, consider these publications as part of your planning. You do not have to have all the details set in order to meet with us. The sooner we know about a project, the sooner we can make room for it on our production schedule and better meet your needs.
- Make sure you give us everything. This includes a final manuscript and any graphic elements (photos, logos, etc.) that may be required. Late additions and changes may result in delays or errors.
- Provide us with material in a workable format.
- give us a copy on disk (Mac or PC) - accompanied by a printout on 8 1/2" X 12" paper, double spaced. Text files in standard word processing format are preferred. If you have ideas about design and layout, please consult with us.
- if you are updating a piece which we previously produced, it is usually best to mark corrections on a copy of the existing publication. For jobs with minimal changes, this approach will be sufficient. If the job requires major revisions, a new copy on disk may be required. So before proceeding, ask us.
- Generally, a complete manuscript must be submitted to the Office of Publishing
- 8 weeks prior to the date a finished piece is due for pieces requiring outside printing and typesetting.
- 4 weeks prior to the date a finished piece is due for pieces that can be typeset and printed on campus.
- Keep in mind that due dates should take into account the time it takes for distribution or mailing. It is a good rule of thumb to have pieces delivered 4 weeks in advance of an event, if such services are needed.


text: Hey Everyone, Just wanted to share my experience a couple weeks ago with Power Chevrolet in Valencia, CA. I've been looking around the past couple weeks at a new car, and finally found a car at Power Chevrolet in Valencia, CA. I dealt with a salesperson that had been working at the dealership for a couple months, but he seemed like an alright guy. We got down to business and talked numbers about the car and my trade-in, and finally came to an agreement on the price of the car, my trade-in, and my payments. One of the conditions that was made: I wanted to keep the aftermarket stereo out of the vehicle I was trading in. They agreed to this, but they said I "needed to give them a working stereo to go in the vehicle I was trading in." It wasn't a big deal since the car I was buying already had an aftermarket stereo, so I planned on swapping it with my radio and giving them the old radio back. A couple hours later, we finally signed papers, and I went on my way. I came back the next day to give them the stereo that was to go in the vehicle I was trading in, and I was shocked by the reaction from the salesman. The salesman kept arguing with me saying I had to have the stereo installed in the vehicle I traded in. I told him that was not what we agreed to and that I was just to take the stereo, and he started cussing me out. "You've already fu**ed us over on the price of the car, you fu**ed us over on the price of your trade-in, and now you've fu**ed us over on the stereo. This is bulls**t.". I was outraged by that statement, and immediately went to the sales manager's office. The salesman followed me in, and when I started talking to the sales manager, the salesman interrupted and said "Oh, now you're throwing me under the bus?! That's not fu**ing right.", and he continued to swear at me. Finally the sales manager told the salesman to calm down and go away, and he took the stereo from me and said they would take care of the situation. About 15 minutes later, (I was waiting for them to wash my car since they didn't do it the day before), the salesman came back out to me. He said "I'm sorry for the way I acted, but you really pi**ed me off. I don't get that pi**ed off that often, but you figured out how to push those buttons. You really screwed us over on everything throughout this whole deal.." I started to talk to him, and said "I'm sorry..", but he turned around and started walking into the building and said "Go fu** yourself!" The next day I was contacted by the finance manager and was told that the bank came back with a higher interest rate (double what we agreed on). He said I could either sign a contract for this interest rate, go find my own bank, or I could bring the car back. I told him I wasn't signing at that rate, and I'd try talking to a couple banks. 2 weeks later I ended up getting financed through my bank, but during this whole time, I never once received a phone call from the dealership asking what the status of the loan was. I've tried calling several times, but always got voicemails or was told they were out of their office. They never helped me find another place to finance with, and that deeply upsets me. However, they did not hesitate sending me a letter basically saying "The contract is void, we want our car back" today. All in all, I'll never go back to any Power dealership, and am waiting to speak to the General Manager on the above issues (Again, I keep being told that he's "out of his office").

- - 18 month old female vs. my 10 month old male. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/feeding-our-puppy/481601-18-month-old-female-vs-my-10-month-old-male.html)
18 month old female vs. my 10 month old male.
Athena is a petite female, weighing 56 lbs. and is 24 inches at her withers. She eats 3 cups a day of a blend of Blue Buffalo lamb and rice and Diamond naturals extreme athlete to try and beef her up a bit. She has not gained a pound. Her stools are great and I put her on a pro-biotic but still no weight gain.
Sinister on the other hand is a big boy who I have to take off the Diamond naturals blend because he has put on too much weight. Sinister is 80lbs+ and 27inches at the withers.
Both for the past month eat the same serving 3 cups a day yet Athena stay slender. Sinister has been dropped to two cups because his mid section has filled out and I want to keep him slender.
She is a lot more athletic than Sinister could that attribute to her small stature?
Here is some pics of my two fur babies. Should I supplement Athena with Satin balls or another high calorie treat?
Sinister (left) Athena LSC (right):
Athena (left) Sinister (right)
Athena from the side:
If anything, sinister looks a little chunky and could probably lose a few pounds. Athena looks perfectly fine.
Yes Sinister is a chunky monkey and is on a diet LOL!!!!
How old are they? Are they spayed/neutered? If so, at what age?
Sinister does seem a little heavy (not by much tho), but looks very well muscled. From the pictures, Athena looks the correct "weight" but seems to have very little muscleing, which can make a thin dog looks A LOT thinner than they actually are.
So just wondering if she is young and has yet to "fill out". But even then, my 21" at the withers 58lb female has way more muscle than your girl, even as a young dog her front end was well defined, just petite.
I would say you could increase her weight as long as her exercise routine allows for that to be turned into muscle and not just adding fat to her mid-section. If her shoulders and rear had more muscle I would say her mid-section would be almost perfect :)
Athena is 18 months and unaltered and Sinister is 10 months unaltered.
Sinister is has way more muscled than Athena but also he is a little overweight. I agree Athena should put on more muscle than fat. Any tips for a good workout to put muscle on her?
Athena looks great to me. Is there a reason you are worried about her weight? If she's active and her coat, eyes, teeth, etc are healthy I would not change anything. I would exercise for more muscle before feeding more or giving her a ton of calories like satin balls just for weight. 56lb is perfectly normal for a female. The male looks heavy, especially considering his age. My 10 month old intact male is 51lbs, lol.
Swimming is my number #1 for low stress, but only builds a small amount of muscle. I still do it and kayaking with my dogs in life vests has provided quite exhaustive exercise even when it is hot out.
What I have done in the past is increase caloric intake as of day 1 of your routine. I would start to road work her (preferable on trails if at all possible) but start slow and build up.
Will she retrieve? If so, I will find a nice steep hill (that is safe for them to run up and down) and stand at the top of it. I will throw the ball down the hill for them to chase. Then I will go down the hill and throw the ball up. I have worked my dogs up to 45 minutes of this when they were in top condition. I am just coming off whelping and raising two litters of puppies, so we will start this again soon LOL
A few other core building exercises, include getting them to do some "crunches" I call them. Have your dog sit and then without standing up, just using their back muscles, go into a "sit pretty" then back down again. I do that 5 reps, 5 times.
Then you can get them to learn to balance on their hind legs to get a treat from your hand. They should hold themselves up and not use any part of your body to steady themselves.
Backpacking is GREAT for building muscle, and I use actual weight dumbbells, so I can track how much my dogs can carry and see if they increase throughout a certain time goal.
Jumping!! You need to make sure you work up to different jump heights and teach your dog how to approach and land correctly to avoid injury. What I have done in the past is set up a straight line course with a small jump, A-Frame (high almost a vertical wall), medium jump, 1 meter jump, small jump. Run the dog through that a few times a week and you will see some crazy rear, back and shoulder muscles in no time.
Hope this helps!

What is an endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a general term for a medical procedure that uses an endoscope. An endoscope is a small, tube-like instrument that is inserted into the body through a tiny incision or a body opening. It has a lighted camera that sends pictures of the inside of your body to a video screen. Doctors use endoscopic therapy to diagnose and treat many conditions. Common examples include peptic ulcers, appendicitis, colon polyps, and endometriosis.
Endoscopic procedures are minimally invasive procedures because the endoscope is inserted into the body through a small incision or an opening in the body, such as the mouth or anus. You may have other options to diagnose or treat your condition. Consider getting a second opinion about all of your treatment choices before having an endoscopy.
Types of endoscopy
The types of endoscopy procedures include:
Arthroscopy examines and treats the joints. It involves inserting an endoscope through a small incision near a joint.
Bronchoscopy examines and treats the airways and lungs. It involves inserting an endoscope through the mouth or nose into the windpipe and lungs.
Colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy examine and treat the large intestine. These procedures involve inserting an endoscope into the large intestine through the anus.
Cystoscopy and ureteroscopy examine and treat the urethra, bladder and ureters of the urinary system. These procedures involve inserting an endoscope through the urethra and into the bladder and possibly the ureters.
Laparoscopy examines and treats the abdomen or pelvis. It involves inserting an endoscope through a small incision in the abdominal or pelvic area.
Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy examines and treats the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, the first section of the small intestine. If only the esophagus is involved, it is called an esophagoscopy. If all of these organs are involved it is called an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).The procedure is performed by inserting an endoscope through the mouth into the esophagus and possibly the stomach and duodenum.

The hero of Charlotte Brontë's first novel escapes a dreary clerkship in industrial Yorkshire by taking a job as a teacher in Belgium. There, however, his entanglement with the sensuous but manipulative Zoraïde Reuter, complicates his affections for a penniless girl who is both teacher and pupil in Reuter's school. Also included in this edition is Emma, Charlotte Brontë's last, unfinished novel. Both works are drawn from the original Clarendon texts.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The Professor was the first novel that Charlotte Brontë completed. Rejected by the publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846--Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights--it remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte Brontë's death. Like Villette (1853), The Professor is based on her experiences as a language student in Brussels in 1842. Told from the point of view of William Crimsworth, the only male narrator that she used, the work formulated a new aesthetic that questioned many of the presuppositions of Victorian society. Brontë's hero escapes from a humiliating clerkship in a Yorkshire mill to find work as a teacher in Belgium, where he falls in love with an impoverished student-teacher, who is perhaps the author's most realistic feminist heroine. The Professor endures today as both a harbinger of Brontë's later novels and a compelling read in its own right.
"The middle and latter portion of The Professor is as good as I can write," proclaimed Brontë. "It contains more pith, more substance, more reality, in my judgment, than much of Jane Eyre."
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foun-dation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hard-bound editions of important works of liter-ature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inau-gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.
The Modern Library of the World's
Best Books
"We read Charlotte Bronte not for exquisite observation of character, not for comedy, not for a philosophic view of life, but for her poetry. Probably that is so with all writers who have, as she has, an overpowering personality, so that . . . they only have to open the door to make themselves felt. There is in them some untamed ferocity perpetually at war with the accepted order of things."
--Virginia Woolf

Parents of teen who died in skateboarding accident file suit against hospital
EMERALD ISLE, CARTERET COUNTY - The parents of a Carteret County teen who died in a skateboarding accident are taking legal action against the hospital the victim was taken to.
The lawyers of David and Kimberly Hughes, of Emerald Isle, filed a legal complaint against Carteret General Hospital Monday.
The couple's son, 13-year-old Andrew "Drew" Hughes, was transported to that hospital after his accident on June 28. According to police, Drew was skateboarding in the Lands End neighborhood in Emerald Isle when he fell and hit his head. The teen was not wearing a helmet, investigators said.
Drew was eventually transferred from Carteret General Hospital to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, where he died on June 29 from his injuries, according to police.
The lawsuit filed by the attorneys of Drew's parents claims that Carteret General Hospital officials were negligent in that:
- "They failed to keep Drew Hughes properly sedated and restrained."
- "They failed to properly re-intubate Andrew Davis Hughes during the transport [from Carteret General to Vidant]."
- "They failed to perform standard objective tests to verify proper placement of the endotracheal tube."
- "They failed to recognize clear signs and symptoms of an esophageal intubation and respond to those signs."
- "They attempted to falsify the medical records to cover up their negligence."
- "They failed to use their best judgment in the treatment of Drew Hughes."
- "They failed to use reasonable care and diligence in the treatment of Drew Hughes and in the application of their knowledge and skill to the care of Drew Hughes."
- "They failed to possess the required skill and learning to treat Drew Hughes."
- "They failed to practice within the standard of care for respiratory therapists, nurses and/or paramedics in the same or similar communities."
- "They were negligent in such other respects as may be shown at trial."
The suit continues, "In addition, the actions of employees of defendant Carteret General and officers, directors and managers of Carteret General were grossly negligent and/or were done with reckless disregard for the rights and safety of others such that the cap on non-economic damages does not apply to this case."
The suit states that Drew's parents are entitled to an amount in excess of $10,000 "to recover compensatory damages for medical expenses and other expenses." The parents are also entitled to more than $10,000 "to recover damages for infliction of severe emotional distress," and another amount in excess of $10,000 to cover "the negligence of defendants," according to the lawsuit.
An official at Carteret General told NewsChannel 12 the hospital "extends its deepest sympathies to the Hughes family." But the official said she cannot comment on the allegations in the suit.
In addition to his parents, Drew is survived by two older brothers.
"We were all best friends. We did everything together. We watched movies together, we fought with each other," said Drew's oldest brother, Brewer Hughes.
"He was always happy. He was always making us laugh," said Zack Hughes, the teen's other brother.
Drew was a rising freshman at Croatan High School.

Wheat Flour Savory Pancake
Rotis/Phulkas are the one thing that are eaten at every meal and that's what I hate to do in summer… to be making rotis/phulkas in my kitchen. Then, should I be eating rice all the time or go without anything? Eating rice is not a part of my craving and the latter part does not suit my fancy … me going hungry, no way… Rotis are my favorite, and I prefer it to rice anytime. In summer the thought of making rotis…unhh unhh, so most of the time this savory pancake makes an appearance at our dinner table …not only it is vegetarian, it is nutritious, healthy and can be whipped up quickly too.
(Atto is a Sindhi word for Atta and Chilro means pancake…Pancakes made with atta). Atte Jo Chilro is like an omelette, made from a batter of atta, onions and some spices. The batter is more like a bhajia (pakora) batter which is spread on a hot tawa, and cooked on both sides. I recall my mother making this for us whenever we returned hungry from school or even for breakfast and sometimes for dinner. Spice it the way you like to suit your taste buds and enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even as an evening snack. This is one of my simple and favorite recipe that is like a complete meal when served with chutney/ketchup/yogurt/or even pickle. Don't forget the Sindhi papad.
· 1 cup Atta
· 1 small Onion(finely chopped)
· Coriander/Cilantro leaves(finely chopped)
· 1 tsp Cumin seeds
· 2 Green Chilies(finely chopped)
· 1/2tsp Red chili powder
· 1/2 tsp of baking soda
· 1/2-3/4 cup of Water
· Oil for shallow frying Chilro
· Salt to taste
· Mix all the ingredients with water except oil, and make batter like we make for fritters/pakoras, making sure there are no lumps. The batter should be as thick as dosa /pancake batter (Add more water if required).
· Heat a griddle (tawa), and grease it with some oil.
· Take a ladle full of the batter, and spread it evenly on the heated tawa like a dosa/pancake. Its thickness should be like a pancake (little thicker than dosa).
· Pour some more oil around the sides and let it cook on medium flame till golden brown.
· Flip and let it cook and brown on the other side too.
· Remove from tawa when both sides are crisp and golden brown.
· Serve hot with ketchup/sauce or yogurt/coriander/mint chutney.
This recipe goes to Padma's Dosa Corner event.
Keep it simple, keep it Sindhi.

text: what's up guys. another newb. from union, SC. used to own a 2004 colorado 2wd, then traded for a 2006 nissan altima SER for mpg's, but miss having a truck so now i'm looking for another colorado, or a silverado, 4wd. altima only has 56k(and counting). it's my DD. i miss having a chevy truck so anyone willing to lead me in the right way towards a trade would be sweet. straight up too, as i don't want any payments. anyways, here's some pics of my old truck, the altima, and my camaro SS. altima SER is a 2006, with like i said 56k on the odo. change oil with mobil 1 5w30 synthetic every 3k. fully loaded. 5 speed automatic,sunroof,bose radio, few nismo add ons, nismo cold air intake. only bad is a few marks on the rims(very slight, from previous owner), and a few chips on the hood(from previous owner). trust the car to go anywhere and do anything, just really wanting a truck, as i need it more than i need mpg's lol. so any offers, hit me up. i know it's an intro forum, but just throwing it out there. thanks for looking guys!!! jhart

When i receive the bees do i use both boxes 1 small 6 5/8 and a hive body with 9 1/8 frames. Do i use the queen excluder? i have a water source close the the hive approx 20 feet. also what should i put in the feeder? do the bees need any honey for food to start? the local bees are collecting pollen we are in deep south texas.I just want to give them a good start and im pretty clueless , thanks Malcolm
