Sometimes, sandwiches taste better when they're totally unexpected — for instance, served at a grocery store in an old gas station in Florida. Equally unexpected: finding forgotten, six-month-old photos on my laptop that are making my mouth water all over again.
On my last trip to P'cola, we lunched at East Hill Market, which is located inside an old service station and still feels like one. Thankfully, instead of jerky, they sell sandwiches like this. My mom and I went halfsies on a turkey club panini with pesto and this incredibly delectable avocado and red pepper on wheat.
It's been so long I don't really recall all of the minute details of the sammies, but the photos pretty much speak for themselves, don't you think?

Indian River Senior Center
Located at 214 Irons Avenue in Millsboro, Delaware
The Indian River Senior Center was founded in 1970 by Donald and Florence Mortlock. The original meetings were held at St. Marks Episcopal Church in Millsboro. By the end of 1970 the membership had grown to 75 and consequently had to move upstairs to the larger hall. The Center took steps to incorporate in 1971 and by the end of that year the membership had grown to 150.
By the end of 1972 the membership grew to 430 members and the small space became crowded. Due to the growth, the senior Center purchased a parcel of land in the town of Millsboro for their future home. The Senior Center formed a partnership and shared the facilities with the town of Millsboro. The building was completed in mid 1980.
The town purchased the property from the Senior Center for the same price that the Senior Center had paid for it. The seniors furnished the building with the necessities and negotiated a lease with the town for 22 years. The agreement stated that the seniors would take care of the maintenance and hall rentals. At the end of the lease the seniors informed the town that it was unable to continue handling the rentals. The new lease was negotiated at that time and we were in a better position to save for our own building.
The center provides the following activities for the seniors in our area: aerobics, yoga, line dancing, golf, bowling, crafts including ceramics, card playing, billiards, shuffleboard, and a library. There is lunch provided each Wednesday along with a variety of entertainment, educational programs and bingo. We also offer flu shots, tax preparation and defensive driving for seniors.
On April 2009 we moved into our new center that is located behind the WA-WA on route 113 on Irons Avenue. The Center has over 630 members today.

Prep roundup: Lujan, Foote lead Nevada Union divers past Granite Bay
March 22, 2013
Nevada Union's Mikaela Lujan and Austin Foote led the way as the Miners topped Granite Bay in diving action Thursday.
On the boys side, NU had three divers finish in the top four with Foote taking first with a score of 207.35. Adam Seifert placed third for NU with an 184, and Lloyd Tom finished third with a score of 130.25.
For the girls, Lujan blew the competition away, scoring 251.25 to take the top spot. Jenny Jones finished in third place for NU with a score of 147.9 and Gigi Field finished fourth, scoring 137.4.
NU's Josh Hartman took first place in the boys junior varsity competition.
Colfax 7, Bear River 0
The Bruins stranded six runners in the first three innings and never recovered Friday at Colfax, getting shutout by the Falcons and losing by seven.
Travis Anderson took the loss on the mound after going 3 2/3 innings and allowing five runs.
Michael Scudero finished the game on the bump, throwing 2 1/3 innings and striking out four.
When Bear River did hit, it was hard. The Bruins had only four hits, but three were doubles. Jake Sypnicki, Michael Raigoza and David Chorjel each had a two bagger, and Brodie Beck added a single.
The Bruins (3-6, 2-2 Pioneer Valley League) will look to right the ship Monday when they travel to the Selma Kiwanis Tournament to take on Chavez.
Lady Miners two in SFL play
The Nevada Union girls soccer team opened Sierra Foothill League play this week, taking on a pair of powerhouses to get things kicked off.
Facing Rocklin on Tuesday and Granite Bay on Thursday, the Lady Miners dropped both games, 4-0 and 3-0, respectively.
In both matches Nevada Union allowed one goal in the first half and played some strong possession and solid defense. Keepers Emma Curtis and Ellie Demartini did fantastic jobs blocking shots from some of the strongest strikers in the region.
Seniors Sarah Christal and Meaghan O'Conner, in the center defensive line, held strong as NU's attacking players did everything they could to try to get the ball in the net.
The Lady Miners had some great opportunities, got off several great shot attempts, but both teams amped up the intensity and the game became pretty physical.
Nevada Union will regroup and iron out the weak spots, said head coach Ken Ramirez.

As I'm sure y'all know, these aren't really colors I'd usually use all together, but I've seen the FG girls post so many pictures of their nails using all of the colors in their collection that I usually wouldn't put together on my own nails that I thought I might as well just jump in and use all seven colors I got at once. Even though (or maybe because) it's not a typical color combo for me I super love these. They're graphic and eye-catching and weird/fun to look at!
The very very light green color is Floss Gloss Glowstar. It's unlike anything I have in my collection. It literally glows. The warm aqua color is Wavepool, which was one of the first colors I lusted after from Floss Gloss and is just as amazing as I hoped it'd be. The gold glitter is Stun and the silver glitter is Dimepiece. They are both insanely sparkly and holographic and amazing.
The neon red is Fastlane, which is an ACTUAL NEON RED. You guys... I can't even tell you how long I've been looking/how many bright red polishes I've bought or lusted after in my quest for an actual neon red. It's incredible. The neon yellow/orange is Neon Nacho, and I'm serious when I tell you that it really does look like neon nacho cheese when you're putting it on your nails. The deep bluish-brown is Partybruise, which is gorgeous in person and perfectly named.
To do these nails I started by painting on my base color (from thumb to pinky my base colors are Wavepool, Fastlane, Glowstar, Stun, and Neon Nacho). After that was dry I put a dot in the center of each side of my nail and the center of the top and bottom. Then I connected the dots to form a diamond using my mid-length striper brush. I filled in the outside angles of the diamond and then added the dots in the center. Presto! Crazy diamond dot nails.
All of the colors were opaque in 2 coats except for Neon Nacho, which required 3. I still had a little bit of VNL with it which is par for the course with light neons, so next time I wear it alone I'll probably put it over white. Wavepool was almost a one-coater but I did two to even everything out.
I also took a photo in the sun this morning to capture the true sparkliness and BRIGHTNESS of these nails. My pinky nail is even brighter than this in person. It almost blinded me.
What do y'all think of these nails? The color combo is so different for me but for some reason I really think it works! And of course I don't think you can ever go wrong with nails that involve neon AND glitter. I encourage all of you guys to try out Floss Gloss polishes... the bottles are THE BEST and the colors are seriously amazing.

When they began their careers in the gloaming of the 1960s, few would have predicted that conservative-leaning TV broadcaster Dan Rea and decidedly liberal US District Court Judge Nancy Gertner would make history together.
But that's what happened three weeks ago, when Joseph Salvati, Peter Limone, and the estates of Henry Tameleo and Louis Greco were awarded $102 million after Salvati and Limone spent nearly 30 years in jail and Tameleo and Greco died behind bars, all framed by the FBI for a 1965 gangland murder.
The award is the largest ever in a wrongful-conviction case. And it comes largely thanks to the work of two figures with very different political leanings but a similar thirst for justice.
Gertner, who wrote the 228-page decision awarding the payout, is a long-time liberal lioness. She attended Yale Law with the Clintons. (Bill nominated her to her seat in 1993.) Her first big case as a criminal defense lawyer was defending student radical Susan Saxe against manslaughter and armed-robbery charges in 1975. In the years since, she's helped safeguard abortion rights in Massachusetts and has worked tirelessly on cases dealing with prisoners' rights, minorities, and the poor.
About the time Gertner was defending Saxe, Rea was national vice-chairman of the anti-radical, William F. Buckley–founded Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) at BU Law. Now a general-assignment reporter for WBZ-TV, Rea's been hammering the Salvati case via some five dozen television reports since 1993. "I don't want to be portrayed as a crazy right-wing guy, because I'm definitely not," he says. "But you wouldn't describe Dan Rea as a bleeding-heart, knee-jerk liberal."
Gertner and Rea, both at the tops of their professions for more than three decades, have lately found themselves forming something of a mutual-admiration society.
Gertner (who did not respond to a request for comment) cited Rea's reporting in her decision. Noting that "proof of innocence in this democracy should not depend upon efforts as gargantuan as these," she lauded him for "relentlessly" pursuing "the cause of Salvati's innocence."
Rea, meanwhile, returns the compliment. "Nancy Gertner is a great judge. The only word I can [use to] describe [her] would be 'magnificent.' She came out, made her findings of fact in a very complicated case — this was not an easy case to understand — and just nailed the government, nailed the Justice Department."
No surprise, says attorney (and Phoenix contributor) Harvey Silverglate, who was Gertner's law partner for 16 years. As one of the rare judges on the federal bench with a criminal-defense and civil-liberties background, Silverglate says, "she's cross-examined enough FBI agents that she can tell when an FBI agent is lying, quite instinctively. The FBI was not lucky having her on the case, because her experience makes her a very sophisticated consumer of FBI testimony."
And it shouldn't be too surprising that someone like Gertner and someone like Rea can find common cause. Especially these days. Liberals, after all, no longer have a monopoly on skepticism of governmental power.
"Friends of mine didn't understand why I was involved in this guy's case," says Rea, who spent 15 years, often on his own time, investigating Salvati's imprisonment. "I had no sense of proprietary interest in it. I wanted to see justice done."

Re: Amaterasu's Return
Based on the Shinto myth where Amaterasu, goddess of the sun, seals herself in a cave after being provoked by fellow god Susanoo. With Amaterasu's absence the world is shrouded in darkness. To return light to the world, the other gods must then tempt her back out, with the aid of a lavish dancer.

Come see the Rail thing

Super Rail Band de Bamako
Photo: Supplied
Legendary Malian band Super Rail Band de Bamako is playing its first Melbourne gig, writes Kate Welsman.
Imagine catching a train from the Senegalese capital Dakar to Bamako in Mali, West Africa, alighting after an exhausting 3-5-day journey and being met by a dance band at 1am.
This is the stuff of legend. That band was the original Rail Band du Buffet Hotel de la Gar (the band of the train station's hotel). On January 12 at Hamer Hall the now renamed Super Rail Band de Bamako hit Melbourne to show off their blistering Malian music style in Australia for the first time.
Formed in 1970, supported by a government that was fostering Malian arts and culture and dedicated to the revival of Malian folkloric music forms with a twist, the Super Rail Band de Bamako have weathered defections, incredible band rivalries and deaths.
Though no longer based at the railway station, their live sound still rings out through the suburbs of Bamako and, finally, we get to hear them live.
Speaking from Bamako, percussionist Bamba Dembele says the band's enduring success is related to the fusion of traditional and Western styles. "We play Manding music. It's part Mali, part Guinea, part Cote d'Ivoire; in short - West African music.
"Besides the Manding music, there are all the influences of international sounds, like jazz, blues and rock. Bamako is a very cosmopolitan city and the youth are very switched on. They hear all kinds of sounds out there, so to make these people dance; we must really have a repertoire which makes people move."
Their music has continued to evolve during the past three decades, which has had as much to do with the political movement in Mali as well as the musicians that have passed through the band, including African superstars Salif Keita and Mory Kante.
"In the past, musicians had a life like public servants. You were paid a regular salary at the end of the month, you had no problems. The danger was that it made musicians a bit lazy. Now the difference is there is no salary guaranteed and we're obliged to work hard to live," Dembele says.
"It has made life more difficult, but there are so many bars and restaurants which are cultural spaces and there is live music playing seven nights a week in Bamako, all kinds of music. We also have a minister for culture that is very devoted to the artistic cause, and we have big concert halls and music schools that teach youth as well as keeping the traditions alive.
"When we privatised the band we moved out of the railway station to another club and have worked hard at keeping the music current."
It is said that the band moved to their new home - the Djembe Club in Lafiabougou - because they wanted young people to hear the music, young people who weren't going to the old railway club because they didn't want to run into their parents.
Considering the band began before such young fans were born, that the music remains current is intriguing.
"Now it's the young who have come with new inspiration for the music," says Dembele. "We used to always play praise songs and ballads. Now we leave out the praise songs and add music that makes people move.
"That's how we conquered Europe and the US."
Their music now combines various African music styles. Congolese soukous nudges Malian Manding, reggae meets latin, and overall an explosion of sound greets dancers and music lovers. While many have heard and followed the success of Salif, among others, the Super Rail Band de Bamako's style has been greeted with enthusiasm around the world.
While their style is West African authentic, a contemporary edge makes them as hip as any international big band.
"It is fantastic for musicians when people hear and understand the music right away and start dancing," says Dembele.
"We have played in so many countries. Amsterdam, now there's an audience that moves. Denmark, Switzerland and London know how to dance as well, but one of our favourites was New Orleans when we played with Jimmy Cliff and B.B. King. This was the biggest festival in the world."
And now it's our turn to see how we rank in the global dance league.
Super Rail Band de Bamako play Hamer Hall at the Arts Centre, St Kilda Road, on Wednesday, January 12 at 8pm. Bookings: Ticketmaster7.

Can I be tried in adult court?
Regardless of your age, if the crime is serious, the prosecutor may file charges against you in adult court or ask the juvenile court to transfer you to adult court. All states have a procedure that allows juveniles to be tried as adults. Some states have adopted an automatic transfer rule, which means you go directly to adult court for certain crimes.
Drastic changes in the juvenile justice system have occurred in the past few years. Due to an epidemic of juvenile crime, a get tough attitude has swept the United States. Most states have changed their laws to put more teenagers in the adult system. The philosophy of treatment and rehabilitation is giving way to longer sentences and fewer services for certain minors.
Sixteen-year-old Morris Kent* was on probation when he was charged with rape and robbery. He confessed to the charges and was transferred to adult court. No investigation was done before the transfer, and the court didn′t state the reasons for sending Morris to the adult system.
He was found guilty and sentenced to thirty to ninety years in prison. The U.S. Supreme Court reversed the transfer, stating that Morris, although a juvenile,was entitled to full due process—which meant a hearing, investigation, and a written statement of the court′s decision and reasons.
Since Morris′s case, any juvenile charged with a crime, with a possibility of transfer to adult court, is entitled to full due process. A lawyer is appointed to represent you. It′s the prosecutor′s job to present evidence to the court regarding the seriousness of the charge and why you should be tried as an adult rather than a juvenile. Your lawyer will argue in favor of you staying in the juvenile system for treatment and rehabilitation.
The court must determine not only what′s best for you but also how to protect the community from you until rehabilitation occurs. Community safety is a priority. Some of the factors the court considers include your age and level of maturity, the time remaining to work with you in the juvenile system, the seriousness of the crime, your criminal history, family support, and whether services have been offered to you in the past.
If you′re not transferred to adult court, your case will proceed as a juvenile court matter, where jurisdiction ends at age eighteen or twenty-one. If you′re transferred to adult court, you′ll be afforded all the rights of an adult criminal defendant.
This also means that the penalties usually reserved for adults now apply to you—including a number of years in prison, and in some cases, a life sentence with or without the possibility of parole. In January, 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that "There is no right under the federal Constitution to be conditionally released before the expiration of a valid sentence, and the states are under no duty to offer parole to their prisoners." (Swarthout v. Cooke, Supreme Court Jan. 24, 2011).
Update: In a report** published in March, 2011, fewer teenagers are being sent to adult court on criminal charges. Due to a five-year trend in changing laws that send teens to adult court, budget deficits and deaths of incarcerated teens, states are keeping more juveniles out of the adult system. Statistics show that about 250,000 youths younger than 18 are prosecuted in adult court annually, while 3,000 were held in adult prisons in 2009.*** Studies have shown that youth sent to adult prison are more likely to commit future crimes and end up back in prison than youth sent to juvenile lockups. Keeping teens in juvenile custody gives them an opportunity for schooling, counseling and other programs that reduce the recidivism rate.
The author of the report, Neelum Arya stated that "Incarcerating youth in adult prison is the most expensive option that consistently produces the worst results." Juvenile facilities must offer schooling, counseling and other programs that adult prisons don't.
As of 2014, there were 22 states and the District of Columbia that had no minimum age to try a juvenile in adult court. See here for a breakdown of states and ages.
More information about Morris Kent is available at "Teens Take It To Court [Young People Who Challenged the Law and Changed Your Life]" by Free Spirit Publishing (2006).

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by OklahomaCowboy88, Sep 29, 2012.
What would the cap hit be if we kept Scandrick, and what would it be if we cut him after the season?
Did you read anything I just wrote. I said Jenkins Is better on the outside. But your nickel back is your #3 CB. Also we cant release scandrick with out a big cap hit and Jenkins isn't going to sign to be a #3 when he can get starter money.
Overall I think Jenkins is a better cb than scandrick, but Dallas has scandrick out there on the nickel not Jenkins. That makes scandrick our #3.
So again, what would Scandrick's cap number be for us if we keep him next year, and what will it be if we cut him after this season?
Also, you can call Scandrick whatever number on the depth chart that you want, but Jenkins plays more because he's better..
..far better.
ROFL. I am one of Mike Jenkins' biggest fans.
Jenkins is significantly smaller than Carr. Unless of course he magically grew since the combine. Those heights/weights are official and well documented.
Carr plays a physical game at the line of scrimmage and is a tough tackler. He never seems to pull up gimpy after these hits.
Mike Jenkins is not. He has stuck his head in there to make tackles before but he comes up banged up a lot in those exchanges. At 5'10" and under 200 pounds he just isn't a really big guy. 12 pounds is actually a fair amount; especially when it is muscle. But the truth is Jenkins probably plays closer to 185. He is a smallish guy with a slight build and would have wanted to add weight for the combine. Carr is a naturally bigger guy.
Those aren't knocks they are just basic facts.
I'd love to keep Jenkins. I'd entertain franchising him if we had to to keep him. I love the defense we have now that we have a handful of quality cover guys and hate to lose 1 for nothing.
good question. Scandrick cap hit next year will be 3.78 million if on the team, if released he will be a 6.52 million cap hit.
Then you need to also remember we have a 5 million fine we have to pay. I believe as of now we will have almost 20 million is cap space next year, Adam could probably answer this better, then the 5 million fine. Then you will have to most likely franchise Jenkins which will be 10 million for a CB. Jenkins will get offers to be atleast a #2 CB elsewhere which will be more than we will be able to offer him.
So if you release Scandrick it will be a 2.74 million add on, then 10 million to jenkins which will be 12.74 million of the 15 million available to spend. So where do we look at helping the OL or any other hole. It just can't happen.
Im not denying that you are a fan of Jenkins.. clearly you are and realize his value to this team.
Im just stating that i don't feel like 10 lbs lighter is a significant difference and i don't feel like Jenkins is "small" for the position at all. Jenkins doesn't have a safety type build.. but he's a pure cover corner. The effort is still there in his tackling though and he made a couple hits last year that were bigger than any other DB on the team, CB or S. Sure he may come up roughed up a bit, but he played through the pain. Gotta give him credit for that.
yes he is better far better on the outside. But Scandrick job is the nickel, and gets paid like the nickel. He is to man the slot and not the outside. Thats why we spend all the money on Carr and traded up to get Claiborne.No matter how great Jenkins plays he isn't going to sign to stay a #3 rather we cut Scandrick or not, and we won't have the money to franchise Jenkins.
Not to be picky, but can i get some sort of link for where you are finding these figures?
How the hell do you know that? You're not his agent.
you right, he manned up and play through pain last year. I give him credit and I wish him the best. I hope he plays great for us and makes us miss him next year. I want as many great CBs on this team as possible but with the salary cap and other holes that needs more attention we can't afford to franchise Jenkins.
why would he? I might not be his agent but its called common sense. Jerry goes, "Jenks we will give you Scandricks money or you can take that 40 million offered with 22 million guaranteed to you by jacksonville and be their starting right side CB or you can just stay here as the #3 and take the 12 million guaranteed, I'm sure your ready to sign with us"
Yeah right
then go to the nfl and read about how the signing bonus and restructure bonus is prorated so if you release a player the prorated money comes off the cap that year.
Play on a good team and its not like he wouldn't play. Teams nowadays with it being a passing league are constantly running three wide out sets which obviously means you need to have three solid corner backs. Plus it's Rob's current system at times one of corners will play safety.
Quick FYI.. for those of you who enjoy vomiting:
Scandrick is counting 7.7 million against the cap this year, which is more than any other player on the roster not named Tony Romo, Demarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, or Doug Free.
Unreal how we make such mind-numbing mistakes like this.
ok and when we put three Cbs on the field now its Carr, Clai, and Scandrick. Jenkins is going to want to be a every down CB starter and paid like one. We wont have the money to franchise him. Also he held out this offseason for a new contract. jerry didn't budge one inch. Sorry dude but he is gone after this year.
where did you see that?
he is a 2.98 million cap hit this year. He got paid 7.7 million this year due to the restructure bonus but that is prorated and doesn't all count towards the cap this year. Only 1.18 of that 5.9 million bonus does.
Dude, it will be Jenkins on the field. NOT Scandrick. I guarandamntee that. Our best players will be on the field. I'm not saying he'll re-sign for sure, but don't write it off as unrealistic.
According the the chart BTB has set up here, it looks like it would only cost about a million more against the cap if we cut him this offseason. If that's the case i would do so without hesitation.
Your continued misrepresentation and outright lying about facts is amusing to me. Its like you really don't want Jenkins on this team for some odd reason.

Self preservation. It doesn't have to be any more complicated than that.
Mr. RmScadd's post is a good one, and I thank you for sharing , sir. I am about half his age, and although I had no problem "knuckling up" when I was younger and holding my own, as time has passed a degenerative spinal condition has left me feeling frail, even though I am 6'3" and 235 lbs. I have a beautiful family that, until recently, I felt that I could protect physically if need be. After a very serious spinal surgery I underwent in February, it became painfully obvious that this is no longer the case. I made the decision to carry because my wife and little girls deserve a husband and father that can defend them from a world that quite frankly seems to be going nuts. At first I questioned my justification, but the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary has fully convinced me I've made the correct decision. I live 4 miles from the school, and my. Oldest daughter is in kindergarten. If she weren't in private school, she might have been there.
Thanks for reading-
Like the OP I'm in my 60's with multiple health issues . Unlike him I was 'Tiger Man McCool' in the years prior to the birth of my first child .
The reality check was startling ! "WOW ! That's Responsibility ! "
I set out on a plan to quit dragging my knuckles and be the best Father I could be for that child and any others I might be blessed with . There were 4 total . I reared them on a farm . Honesty , integrity , and personal responsibility were things I had to teach them from the time they were toddlers . The value of education and self reliance were also stressed . I had to set the example.
We were very good for each other . They are all grown , well founded professionals that have presented me with 6 grandchildren to mentor/spoil . They are also all CCW holders that don't carry their firearm 'in a diaper'.
I became a citizen ,rather than an outlaw , to enable them to be better citizens .
I carry to protect the legacy I have built from those who have made poorer choices in life .

Buying meat in a can is something we used to do more when it was harder to get fresh meat every day.
Bully beef, as it was known in the old days, was the main food for our soldiers at Gallipoli during World War I where they ate it with biscuits and jam. Research has recently revealed this diet was very poor and if we had sent over cans of fruit and vegetables as well they would have been in much better shape to fight.
Pacific Islanders make much more creative use out of a can of corned beef. The Samoans make kapisi pulu which combines the corned beef with coconut cream, tomato and onion in cabbage leaves and then it is slow cooked.
There are so many brands on the shelf that there is obviously quite a demand and therefore people buying it. Yet I always buy raw corned beef and cook it.
So what's best? Fresh corned beef or canned?
Pacific Corned Beef. $7.99 for 453g.
• Beef (98%) - This is great that most of what you get in this can is meat. Because it comes already cooked it has lost much of the water it had in it from the curing process.
• Salt - Any cured meat will be high in salt, you'll get 740mg of sodium per 90g serving.
• Vegetable gums (407,410,412) - These are carrageenan (407), locust bean gum (410) and guar gum (412) all to keep the meat moist in the can.
• Mineral Salt (508) - This is potassium chloride which will have been used in the curing process.
• Preservative (sodium nitrite) - Sodium nitrite is found in most cured meats such as bacon. It is used to inhibit the growth of the bacteria which causes botulism and as a colour fixative, but there is concern that it reacts with stomach acid to form carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds during digestion.
Corned Beef Silverside. $16.64 for 1.514 kg.
Beef (64%) - Not so much beef in this product, mainly because it is uncooked so is still in its cured state, unlike the canned beef.
• Cure (36%) - Water, mineral salts 451, 452, 500. These are diphosphates (451 and 452) and sodium bicarbonate, otherwise known as baking soda.
• Sugar - Not a lot in here so mainly for taste. You'll get 1g of sugar per 100g serve.
• Salt - Higher in salt than the canned beef, probably because it is in its cured state. You'll get 1500mg of sodium per 100g serve.
• Antioxidant (316) - This is sodium erythorbate produced from beetroot and sugarcane.
• Preservative (250) - This is sodium nitrite, as previously.
My recommendations
Both products use sodium nitrite which healthy eaters try to avoid and which some food producers are now phasing out of their products because of health concerns.
The canned corned beef has gums added while the raw corned beef has mineral salts and sugar. So as far as additives go they are fairly equal.
The canned corned beef is made in Australia "to a New Zealand recipe" but the raw corned beef is New Zealand beef.
If you are after a quick meal such as a hash or fritters then a can of corned beef, even though it's a bit more expensive, will give you cooked meat in a hurry.
The raw corned beef on the other hand will take a couple of hours to cook.
• Canned corned beef has less salt.
• Both use sodium nitrite as a preservative.
• Raw corned beef will need cooking but is cheaper.

"Proprietary" is a magic word among truck builders. It describes components of the company's own manufacture or design that are installed on the company's own trucks. For truck users, this can be a good thing, because they're designed to work specifically with a company's other components.

Traditional thinking on automated manual transmissions has it that AMTs are the great equalizers – bridgers of skill gaps between the best and the worst drivers in the fleet. While that's still true, AMTs now bring even more to the fuel-economy table, offering fuel savings in their own right beyond what even the most professionally driven manual transmission could accomplish.

Costanza SoffiettiModel Female Chicago, Illinois, US
Mayhem # 2271654
About MeTo start off my entire name is Ashley Costanza Soffietti. I picked Costanza because I am named after my great-grandmother who actually came to this country from Italy. She was such a strong woman and lived to be 104 years old! So I'm proud of my middle name and would prefer to go by that. I hope this site will help me get my career in motion. I honestly have no idea where to start when trying to become a model, a friend actually recommended this site to me. If I could describe my style I would say it's pretty much all over the place. I really do like almost everything my music, movies, you name it and I probably like that genre. I think that's a good thing because I'm always enjoying what I do no matter who I am with or where. I am pretty confident in myself that I can go forward as a model. I have wanted to since I was little and now have the determination to do it!

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I've been a customer of Public Storage for two years and never ever late or missed a payment. In 1/2014 I was behind on bills because I am a single mother. So I did pay a partial payment of $150.00 on 2/12/14 and explained as soon as I received my tax return I would pay the balance in full by the end of February. I called today 2/25/14 to pay my balance in full to find out all of my items were sold. I and NEVER received any notification this was going to happen. Heartbroken, I contacted the office, who explained they had done everything to contact me but my information was bad, they were so rude as I explained that the address they had on file was my parents and I ALWAYS check my mail there and never received any notice or certified mail from them. They said I also was sent emails, and I have copies of the emails and NONE of these emails state anything about my belongings going to auction. If I would've known of auction I would've borrowed the money to pay the balance. So not only was I not notified of auction I wasn't even in NON payment, I did pay what I could afford and was ready at the end of February to pay the balance as I agreed. I had an excellent payment history until this point and was only one month behind. I had more than just items, everything from my daughter growing up including holiday ornaments, christening gown that I can't get back. I am at a loss and do not know what I can do at this point …please help.

l-gulonolactone oxidase?
- L-gulonolactone oxidase is an enzyme that produces vitamin C, but is non-functional in humans and some other primates. It catalyzes the reaction of D-glucuronolactone with oxygen to L-xylo-hex-3-gulonolactone and hydrogen peroxide. It uses FAD as a cofactor. The L-xylo-hex-3-gulonolactone is able to spontaneously convert to hexuronic acid, without enzymatic action.

Monaco keeps heat on PSG after last-gasp victory over Reims
PARIS (AP) - Defender Layvin Kurzawa continued his scoring form with a goal five minutes into injury time as Monaco scraped a 3-2 home win against Reims in the French league on Friday.
The win puts Monaco provisionally two points behind leader Paris Saint-Germain, which plays at Toulouse on Sunday.
After Reims defender Aissa Mandi was shown a straight red card for a dangerous tackle on Kurzawa, the left back grabbed his fifth goal in the past nine games, showing a striker's reflexes to turn in a loose ball after Colombia winger James Rodriguez's shot hit the post.
Monaco had twice taken the lead, first through forward Valere Germain and then midfielder Jeremy Toulalan, but Reims midfielder Prince Oniangue replied twice for seventh-place Reims to take his season's tally to seven league goals.
''I'm very pleased with the determination shown by my players and the way they kept going,'' Monaco coach Claudio Ranieri said. ''Reims didn't deserve to lose. Now we just need to analyze what we did well and not so well.''

Smart Payoff: Intelligent Capture and ECM Automate the AP Lifecycle
OCR is much more than it used to be. It has evolved to the place where some software can pluck key indicators out of just about any invoice, in just about any language.
Today, software for optical character recognition (OCR) is commonly included with low-cost scanners and multifunction devices—making this once-rare technology for converting printed letterforms to characters a computer can process seem almost pedestrian.
But beyond the inherently impressive feat of ordinary computers reading printed text lies neural network-based software that can actually apply logic and meaning to the text it reads.
Such advanced OCR software today can intelligently extract data from scanned pages, picking out—for example—purchase order numbers from dozens of different invoices that make their way into an AP processing center.
In the Beginning
The highly evolved OCR of today builds on many previous generations of the technology.
During the half century or so that OCR has been put to work in the back office, there have been distinct limitations on the technology's capabilities.
In the early days of OCR, human assistance was always required to assign meaning to the characters the technology read, except in the most highly structured scanning situations. But even though OCR did little more than straight conversion, the technology was a boon for certain business automation tasks.
As early as 1955, the "massiest" of the mass magazines, Reader's Digest, installed the first commercial OCR system to convert typewritten sales reports into data for the magazine's subscription department. Around the same time, Standard Oil applied the nascent technology to process credit card bill payments.
By the late 1950s, OCR was pressed into even more widespread service for processing phone bill payments, and the electronic transmitting of teletype-printed messages. As the space age (and "Age of Aquarius") blossomed in the 1960s, OCR systems configured for applications such as reading coupon codes and airline tickets followed. But to work properly, text still had to be machine-printed (typewritten or encoded with special fonts) and in a predefined location on every form.
OCR undoubtedly dazzled early adopters and technology observers with the promise it held for automating an even wider variety of paperwork-processing tasks. But in the era of TWA and NASA, computers and scanners were costly devices and even the most basic OCR was still limited to big corporations or military organizations.
AP by the Foot
If there has ever been a time-consuming and error-prone chore of office paperwork that affects businesses of all sizes, seemingly consuming all the resources thrown at it, it's paying bills.
In his history of Ford Motor Company, Wheels for the World, Douglas G. Brinkley describes the chaos of Ford's accounts payable office during the company's explosive growth in the 1920s.
Though Henry Ford perfected the assembly line that cranked out twenty Model Ts per hour, the brilliant industrialist was helpless to shrink the mountains of paperwork required to keep his factories running. Brinkley says that Ford accountants were so desperate to get a handle on cash flow that they estimated the value of the stacked-up towers of invoices around them by calculating an average dollar amount per vertical foot!
In the modern era, computers have become a valuable tool for generating business-to-business payments. But the diversity and complexity of invoice formats for companies with many (and constantly changing) suppliers has long stymied efforts to automate the accounts payable process. Even the introduction of computerized scanning, while reducing the swelling tide of physical paper, did not reduce the need for human reading, interpretation, and keying of values on a page before payment could be issued.
So while automation had infused many office processes with Jetsons-like speed and efficiency, accounts payable was for a long time seemingly abandoned on the information superhighway, trundling down the road like one of Ford's original Tin Lizzies.
Reading Skills
In the 1970s, with the advent of relatively inexpensive personal computers and the invention of the charge-coupled-device (CCD) for use in affordable scanners, the stage was set for the next OCR revolution. It came in the form of software—created by author/ scientist/ inventor/futurist, and artificial intelligence prodigy Ray Kurzweil—that could for the first time recognize any font. While the innovation was originally combined with text-to-speech synthesis that enabled computers to read printed matter to the blind, the "omni-font" capabilities of this technology soon made possible the widespread conversion of printed pages to computer text.
This advancement allowed the extraction of raw character or ASCII data from a page, but the ability to turn that raw text into something meaningful or useful for business processes was still in its infancy.
Baby Steps
Software that could meaningfully read forms using omni-font OCR technology began to toddle around in the early 1980s, according to Charles Kaplan, former vice president of marketing at Ashburn, VA.-based Brainware, Inc., a maker of "intelligent data capture" (IDC) software that was acquired by Perceptive Software in 2012.
Such first-generation OCR-driven data capture programs were template-based, meaning that data elements had to be contained in specific locations on paper forms to successfully be read, saved, and associated with tags such as name or employee ID number in a database.
Some first-generation programs could even read a designated area on each page for a form number, allowing the application to distinguish between, say, a 1040 or 1040EZ tax form and apply the appropriate template to each.
While a useful advance over full-page text capture, template-based recognition still faced obstacles. First, a template had to be manually developed for every variation of every business form. Second, the inherently imperfect nature of optical scanning meant that glitches in the size or positioning of forms, or of the data in specific fields, could cause read errors or simply kick such reads out to an exception queue for time-consuming manual processing.
"First-generation OCR data capture was a useful technology in settings with highly structured form types and ideal scanning conditions," says Kaplan, who now leads product marketing for capture at Perceptive Software.
It was not a bad start—but it was still a long way from the holy grail of intelligently reading and interpreting business forms in a wide variety of formats without human assistance.
Free-Form Living
As the 1980s progressed, "free-form recognition" products hit the market, overcoming some of the limitations of template-based techniques.
Rather than using "X-Y" coordinates and requiring text data in fixed positions, free-form products collected all the text on a page, like pre-template-based products. After reading and interpreting the letterforms of all the text strings it finds on a page, it would analyze that text against "anchor words," like "Invoice number" or just "Inv." While capable of storing such manually added phrases into its library of recognized terms, it would handle additional languages only if more anchor words were added.
"It's very rules-based," says Kaplan, "and anything that doesn't fit a rule doesn't get saved." He adds that OCR errors readily disrupt the interpretation process. For example, should it read the "I" in "Invoice" as an upper-case "i", a lower-case "L", or the numeral "1"?
More advanced second-generation products combined keyword methods with the ability to process the same form several times, allowing a program to "learn" and build its own library of templates stored in an internal knowledge base, speeding future recognition. But even with these "Memory Recognition"-class products, the ability to process a stack of varying documents and intelligently extract the key elements needed for applications like accounts payable with a high degree of accuracy was still not possible.
A clean slate for data capture
According to Kaplan, the company that became Brainware, and is now part of Perceptive Software, began when several OCR/data capture industry veterans recognized the deficiencies of traditional OCR-based data extraction methods and decided to start over with a clean slate.
Leveraging their past industry experience, this group of experts decided to abandon first and second-generation approaches and create their own form of intelligent data capture whose core technology or "engine" could process any type of document in any language. They envisioned a solution that could sort scanned and electronic documents based on their content and meaning, extract critical data regardless of layout, and validate it whenever possible. This system would be capable of "learning" document types and how to process them much as a human does, without time-consuming manual template creation.
Tapping a diverse group of scientists, researchers, and developers that currently includes a physicist, mathematician, biologist, chaos theorist, and guidance systems designer, Brainware developed patented data classification, extraction, and associative memory (search) techniques inspired by the neural networks of the human brain.
Under the hood, the application bristles with pattern-recognition techniques and mathematical models optimized for reading and interpreting not just text in any language, but hand-written characters and bar codes, all without predefined dictionaries, taxonomies, or indexing. Understanding what it does at a high level is rather straightforward, though it would be almost impossible to summarize and explain how it works without first detailing many advanced math and physics models, Kaplan says—even if it wasn't proprietary.
Boosting the "No Touch" Rate
There's no mystery about what users and technology partners think of the product, however.
"Brainware's unique approach tears off the straitjacket of template creation and maintenance that less-advanced technologies require," says Susie Walker, senior solution manager at Perceptive Software. The maker of process and content management software has integrated Brainware's technology into its own AP processing product.
According to Kaplan, Brainware technology at the heart of Perceptive Intelligent Capture boasts an unmatched invoice-reading success rate from the moment of installation.
One prospective customer asked Brainware and another OCR data capture vendor to spend eight hours trying to extract the data from 3,028 invoices. Despite a wide range of formats from different vendors, in multiple languages, and occasionally invalid or missing data, 35% of the documents went straight through Brainware's system with full data and line item recognition. The competition's "no touch" rate with the same stack of invoices? Zero.
The company bought the software and reduced headcount by 75% on the first day. It is now seeing a "scan-to-post" success rate for first-time invoice formats at over 50%. And accounting managers estimate that the application's continuous self-learning will eventually provide an additional 20 to 30-point boost to that number.
"The high data capture rates on invoices that Brainware enables vastly decreases the amount of manual data entry required to process both PO and non-PO invoices," says Matt Cramer, product manager for Perceptive Software.
Line Items and The Bottom Line
The cost of intelligent data capture technology is higher than first and second-generation OCR and data capture solutions. But, as with any leading-edge technology, its cost must be weighed against its ability to reduce the cost of doing things the conventional way.
Besides freeing staff for other tasks, speeding up the pay cycle with intelligent data capture allows companies to gain early-payment discounts.
"Add up the elimination of templates for both initial setup and ongoing maintenance, the reduction of human interaction in the AP process, and integration with existing content, process, and ERP workflows," says Cramer, "and it's obvious that intelligent data capture technology is not just an ROI story but a clear winner for total cost of ownership."

While reading this issue, you may notice that one topic comes up in several of the articles: the significant impact of government regulations on home building.
Installing insulation to a home is a great way to cut down on heating and cooling costs while improving energy efficiency. Adding it to attics, ducts, exterior walls, and basements can provide resistance to heat flow.
This non-woven, water-resistive weather barrier from James Hardie contains a MicroTech coating that allows moisture inside the home to escape, keeping areas within the walls dry while keeping outside moisture out.
Iso Red ci Polyiso Foam Sheathing from OX Engineered Products is a closed-cell polyisocyanurate insulation solution that provides the technology for best-in-class foam sheathing R-values and moisture resistance.
Neopor, 5300 insulation material from BASF, contains special graphite particles that reflect heat radiation, reducing heat loss.
Sto Corp. has launched its energy-efficient StoGuard fluid applied weather barrier to the residential market.
SmartBatt with MoistureSense Technology from CertainTeed is the industry's first kraft-faced fiberglass batt insulation.
DuPont Tyvek ThermaWrap R5.0 delivers the benefits of a weather barrier along with an insulation value of R5.0 in a single product that can be installed using familiar techniques similar to those for Tyvek HomeWrap.
Energy codes continue to strengthen, and now all but two climate zones require R-20 insulation in 2-by-6 wall cavities.
Temperature is key when spraying high-quality foam with maximum yield, and ColorWise nozzles from Fomo provide a visual check to ensure the chemical is not too cold.
Builders weigh in on their preferred materials and methods for the interior-exterior barrier that plays a critical role in delivering comfort, energy efficiency, and durability.

|ART COLOGNE - Hall 11.3 Booth E 28/F 29
|ART COLOGNE and ART COLOGNE SCULPTURE PROJECT
21st - 25th April 2010
Hall 11.3, Booth E 28/F 29
Entrance Hall (South) / YIN XIUZHEN Sculpture Project
Tuesday, 20th April, 5 - 9 pm
Köln Messe GmbH
Messeplatz 1
50532 Köln
We are looking forward to welcome you at ART COLOGNE 2010!
In the entrance hall (South entry) we will present the large scale work by Yin Xiuzhen 'Collective Unconscious' as part of the art cologne sculpture project. Yin Xiuzhen 'dissected' an old Chinese taxi and 'stretched' the minibus with an accordion of white blouses, t-shirts and chemises to be 15 meters long. The thus created interior room is accessible and the public finds itself sitting on small Chinese street stools. The artist describes the fragile construction with these words: 'Parts of the Chinese community are pretending to drive a Rolls Royce or a Bentley. But China has access to rather limited possibilities and I want to make these visible here.'
An equivalent piece is shown at the MOMA - Museum of Modern Art New York, she is to be seen in May 2010 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and she is invited to participate at the 11. Triennale Fellbach Kleinkunst. Later this fall we will be having a solo exhibition with her in our Berlin based Gallery and the Kunsthalle Groningen will show her in 2011.
At our stand 11.3 E 28/F 29 we will also be showing photography by Yin Xiuzhen, paintings by Yang Shaobin, drawings by Liu Wentao, digital works by Miao Xiaochun and sculpture by Wang Shugang as well as the newcomer Su Bo.
Furthermore we continue to internationalize the program with European painters such as Miriam Vlaming, Radek Szlaga, Fides Becker and Andreas Amrhein.

Samsung currently is said to have 65% of the global Android market, followed by LG (7%), HTC (6%), Sony (5%) and Motorola Mobility (4%). On April 11th, the Samsung Galaxy S5 will be released. Flagship models are expected to be announced shortly for LG (LG G3) and HTC (The All New HTC One) while Sony (Sony Xperia Z2) has already outed its new flagship at MWC.
With all of those new models expected to eventually grace retailers' and carriers' shelves, Lenovo will need to come up with a home run if this forecast is going to come true. Thanks to the relationship Motorola has with Verizon for its DROID range, the Chinese manufacturer now has the ear of the largest mobile carrier in the U.S., which can't hurt.

Last week, Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT) gained 4.4% last week after releasing better-than-expected sales, but it was the departure of its CEO–which led to rumblings of a potential merger–that caught the market's attention.
In a note released Friday, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey's Edward Nash and team, however, argued that the CEO departure–with a replacement being "commercially focused"–bodes well for Sarepta. He explains:
Companies that deploy capital effectively create more long term value for their shareholders through higher margins, faster growth and superior stock price performance or dividend payouts. That's Business 101.
So what's going on in Big Biotech? That's the question Bernstein Research analyst Geoff Porges asked in a note published today that analyzes the capital allocations of the six big cap biotech names – Amgen (AMGN), Biogen (BIIB), Regeneron (REGN), Celgene (CELG), Gilead (GILD) and Alexion (ALXN).
What did Porges find? Generally,there is a strong focus on research and development, capital expenditures and stock repurchases, and with relatively low debt-to-equity ratios there is room for all six companies to lever up to increase capital investment. But while less mature companies remain focused on business building, the more mature names have gradually shifted the focus of their capital allocation to financial engineering.
By comparing 10-year and 3-year trailing averages, we can see how GILD changed the business building/financial engineering split of their capital investment from 55-45 to 50-50. Similarly, CELG changed the split from 75-25 to 45-55, focusing more on share repurchases (despite their significant M&A). AMGN and BIIB have been refocusing on business building, with AMGN changing the split from 55-45 to 68-32, and BIIB changing the split from 62-38 and 74-26. REGN and ALXN have remained focused on business building. REGN's business building/financial engineering split (3-year trailing average) is 80-20 (vs. 88-12 for 10-year trailing average). Similarly, ALXN's 3-year trailing average split is 80-20 (vs. 91-9 for 10-year trailing average).
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (ALNY) is on a roll. The drug maker shot up 15% during Friday market action to $50, continuing the big gains posted yesterday when Alnylam released positive results from an early-stage clinical trial testing the experimental drug ALN-TTRsc.
Designed to work by shutting off the genes that cause disease, ALN-TTRsc treats transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis, a rare genetic condition in which amyloid proteins build up in tissues, including peripheral nerves and heart. But more importantly, it is one of several drugs Alnylam is developing using so called "gene silencing technology," and the furthest along in the R&D pipeline.
The company hopes to have ALN-TTRsc in phase 2 clinical trials – the second in three stages of testing needed for regulatory approval — later this year.
Alnylam's share price has shot up TK in the last year. Analysts at Leerink Swann hoisted its target price to $57 from $45, while and J.P. Morgan raised its target to $55 a share.

For the first time in its history, Holden has launched a new model Commodore that looks identical to the one that preceded it.
The new model year 2010 Commodore has no exterior or interior design changes, with the company focusing single-mindedly on fuel efficiency as it looks to arrest a worrying decline in sales of the country?s most popular car.
The centrepiece of the new model range is the new pair of direct-injection V6 engines, which deliver fuel savings of up to 13 per cent over the Commodore?s previous engines. The new, smaller 3.0-litre V6 version of the MY10 Commodore will take the mantle of the country?s most fuel efficient locally-built six-cylinder car when it goes on sale later this month,.
Holden says the engine, the smallest to power a Commodore in 20 years, cuts fuel consumption to as low as 9.3 litres per 100km, making the car more efficient than some four-cylinder rivals.
Compared with the previous model Commodore, Holden claims the new model can save up to $325 for a motorist travelling 20,000km at a petrol pump price of $1.25.
To fund the engine upgrades, styling, handling and equipment changes have been put on hold and will follow further in the car?s product cycle, most likely in 2011.
The strategy is a turnaround for the company, which downplayed the importance of fuel efficiency figures when it launched the all-new VE Commodore just three years ago.
New Holden boss Alan Batey said the MY10 Commodore reflected growing customer concerns about the environment and the running costs of their cars.
?What we?ve really done is prioritise what we think is a game-changer for us, which is the engine,? he said.
He said the company had shifted focus from its previous tradition of bundling a series of changes together for a new model and was now working to bring new technology to market as soon as it became available.
But the focus on fuel efficiency over styling and design changes is a shift in direction for Batey and Holden.
In his role as sales boss of Holden at the launch of VE, Batey played down the fact that the Commodore was then the thirstiest of the local large cars.
?A car is a massive emotional statement,? he told the Herald. ?The difference [in the cost of petrol] is two beers a week.?
But Batey said yesterday Holden had reacted to massive changes in the car market in the three years since the VE launch.
?We?ve gone through amazing times in the past three or four years, things you?d never have been able to predict,? he said.
He admitted the company was taking a ?calculated risk? by introducing expensive new engine technology without charging a premium for the new model.
The cheapest versions of the car, the Omega and Berlina, have increased by just $700, while the more expensive SV6 and Calais versions have remained the same price.
?We believe the right thing to do is to take a calculated risk that if we bring the technology to the car we can attract people back to large cars,? he said.
Aside from the engine changes, Holden engineers have introduced several tweaks designed to make the cars use less fuel.
There is a new six-speed transmission which Holden claims delivers better fuel efficiency and more performance than the previous four-speed unit.
The company wouldn?t be drawn on how quickly the car will complete the 0-100km/h sprint, but sources said it was quicker off the mark than the previous engine.
The engine itself is 9kg lighter than the one it replaces, while its minimum idling speed has been lowered from 600rpm to 550rpm for better efficiency.
Elsewhere on the car, there are low rolling-resistance tyres, which improve fuel consumption by reducing friction. The tyres also have a higher recommended air pressure rating.
Finally, the alternator and voltage control of the car have been revised to reduce the impact of the car?s electrical systems on fuel consumption.
Minor changes have been made to the car?s suspension and steering to take into account the different tyres and different tyre pressures, while more sound deadening in the engine bay and a different muffler system contribute to a quieter cabin.
Batey dismissed suggestions the lack of visual differentiation would hurt the new model.
?I think this is one of those timeless designs that we just got right from day one. It doesn?t seem to have lost any of its lustre, so I don?t think that?s going to be an issue whatsoever,? he said.

text: Heres a photo of an 8 by 8 backyard storage shed built a couple of years back for under $100. Most of the wood came from helicopter main rotor blade shipping containers or scrap pieces left over from various construction projects where I worked. Much of it was grayed and weathered but otherwise still sound. If it was destined for the land fill, I was given the opportunity to take it. I didnt have enough 2 x 4s for all the wall studs and roof trusses, but I did have plenty of 8 foot long 3/8 inch plywood scraps that would otherwise have ended up at the land fill. So, I manufactured some of my own 2 x 4s by ripping the scraps to 3 1/2 inches, then gluing and screw-nailing 4 strips together. The paint was $5.00/gallon mis-mixed color paint. The biggest expense was for two packages of asphalt shingles as I only had one package on hand that was left over when I re-roofed my house 5 years earlier.

Date of Stay: July, 2011
Wonderful place to stay. Loved it. Pool just the best we've seen around. Would come back here in a heartbeat and will next year.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
Please, before anyone comes here: look around. This is NOT a nice place. Not what I would call a campground and we've camped for years and traveled around the country. Nothing more than a field with hookups. No reasoning to the lay out and just a plain mess. Hated every minute we were here. Pool was dirty, cloudy, couldn't go in because afraid of diseases. Will never camp here again. I warn you. Don't do it.
