Gov. Deval L. Patrick signed into law an extension on the
effective date of the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code on Dec.
30. The MUPC will now go into effect on March 31, 2012. It was
previously set to go into effect on Jan. 2, 2012.
Still under consideration by the Legislature is a bill
establishing a uniform trust code, containing certain technical
corrections to the MUPC, and granting the Probate and Family Court
statutory authority to collect fees under the MUPC.
"The significant benefits to clients and the probate system as a
whole far outweigh this slight delay in implementation," said
Massachusetts Bar Association President Richard P. Campbell.
"Advocating for these necessary changes for two decades, the MBA is
confident that the broad-sweeping improvements gained from the MUPC
will be well worth the wait."
The MBA looks forward to continued work with the Legislature and
the court to ensure the technical corrections bill becomes

In a mobile society, where everyone has places to go, and too
many things to do, it's imperative that we arrive where we have to,
when we're supposed to. To help us get there, all of the major
search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo!) offer mapping tools, that includes
options (in the case of Google and Bing) for finding directions
based on your preferred mode of transit (driving, walking, commuter
service). Google is generally the default search provider
for most people, so Google Maps, consequently, is generally the
default online mapping/directions provider. Google Maps has a bunch
of useful features, including: zoom-out/zoom-in options; street
views; click-and-drag functionality for route changes; and, etc.
For a view to recently-added tools and features within Google Maps,
PC World just
published its "Best of Google Maps and Google Earth" for
2011. To learn more about how to use Google Maps, check out Google's own Support page.
Why not just use a GPS device? Well, the search engine mapping
services are free, for one. And, in any case, these tools, as apps
for your smartphone or tablet, can be used as makeshift GPS
devices, anyway. It's also helpful to be able to plan your route in
advance, rather than being talked at, as you attempt to navigate on the
fly. Furthermore, street view directions flesh out what you're
looking for: in addition to craning your neck, checking for street
signs, you can also search for distinctive buildings, or landmarks,
to guide your way.
If you don't often drive, HopStop is another great, free website, that is
useful for navigating commuter options in large cities, including
While these mapping services can become essential tools for mobile
attorneys looking for their next meeting, or a new courthouse,
there are also some practice applications inherent, including for
personal injury and litigation firms, that can be quite powerful:

The ABA Law Student Division needs approximately 180 lawyers and
judges to serve as oral argument judges for the 2011-12 Boston
Regional National Appellate Advocacy Competitions (NAAC). This moot
court competition will be held at the Edward W. Brooke Courthouse,
24 New Chardon St., Boston.
The rounds will be held in the late afternoon on Thursday and
Friday, March 8-9 and all day on Saturday, March 10. Judges may
serve multiple rounds if they desire.
Individuals interested in serving as a competition judge are
asked to supply their contact information and law school
affiliations here.
Within 10 business days after receipt of your form, the ABA will
send an e-mail confirming your judging assignment. Beginning in
late January, the ABA will provide a bench memorandum, the problem
(record) and instructions on judging. Reviewing these materials is
the only preparation required of competition judges.
This year's problem involves access to health care. It is a civil
case involving a young boy with autism and his efforts to get
coverage for the therapy that his doctor prescribed. The case
raises two federal questions, one under the "Early Periodic
Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment" provisions of the Medicaid Act,
and the other under the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental
Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008. Both issues raise
realistic, cutting-edge questions for which there is no clear
answer in current law.

- 6 large egg yolks
- 2 cups pure maple syrup, preferably grade A dark amber
- 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg yolks on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour maple syrup into a medium saucepan. Place pan over medium-high heat; bring syrup to a boil. Cook syrup until a candy thermometer registers 240 degrees (just above soft-ball stage), about 15 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. While the electric mixer is running, pour the syrup in a slow, steady stream down the side of the mixing bowl into the egg-yolk mixture (it is essential that the syrup touches the side of the bowl as you pour it in so the sugar will be very evenly incorporated and not splatter onto the sides of the bowl) until the syrup has been completely incorporated, about 1 1/2 minutes. Beat until the bowl is just slightly warm to the touch, 5 to 6 minutes.
Add butter, one piece at a time, until all of it has been completely incorporated and the frosting is fluffy, about 4 minutes more. Use immediately.

shot that's a nice looking setup. Like the folder stock!
HEEHEE Thanks, I like new ideas. even if I DONT build it, its now in writing and SOMEONE's fertile mind will latch onto it. Im sick of all these people thinking they cant have anything w/PG or Detachable mags here...sure you can, just w/in the rules of the game. Thanks for the tips. I will look into it for sure. Have a good one!!!
shot that's a nice looking setup. Like the folder stock!
Nice pair of carbines RetVet!
Only thing I'd do different would be to shorten the bbl. and inch or three and have a permanent flash hider installed to compensate for the difference. Really a petty issue post-AWB, and just a pet peeve from waiting all these years to have a simple flash hider on rifles that should have come equipped with one, not so much an issue that those pistol caliber carbines even "need" one ya know.
Very nice, I hope to hear more on performance and reliability. I've got a bad bug for the Sten and Grease Gun mag fed MAC's...
Hope they hold up and kick butt, they look great!
Mean looking build there shot36223. What kind of grip is that? The folder from the BAM Chinese air rifle looks good. I agree theye are a sweet deal and a cheap way to get a nice folding stock. They can still be had for under $40.
Any problems getting the mags modified or the mag adapter to fit the receiver mag well?

HBO's 'Silicon Valley' Premiere Is Streaming Online for Free

HBO subscriptions are expensive, and not all of us have Facebook or Google money. But as long as you've got an Internet connection, you can check out the full first episode of HBO's Silicon Valley for free.
Created by Mike Judge, the half-hour comedy centers around a group of Bay Area techies who want to hit the big time — and then, somewhat unexpectedly, actually do so. Thomas Middleditch, T.J.

MSC, You Had me Once but Never Again!: MSC Divina Cruise Review by qtell2000
Overall Member Rating
MSC, You Had me Once but Never Again!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Cruised on November 30th...
I traveled with a large group on what was suppose to be an awesome cruise. When I heard it was MSC, I did some research and by all accounts, everything looked awesome. Now I am not a first time cruiser, having sailed on both Royal Caribbean and Celebrity a number of times. On each of those cruises, the level of service that you receive is second to none.
Well, I am getting ahead of myself so lets go slower.
Embarkation was short and simple with few lines at all. Once on the ship I saw that the staff was very well dressed and was excited to move forward.
I liked the fact that my cabin was already available at 3:30pm and made my way there. The ship is kind of a strange design with silly turns and all. They seemed to have wasted a lot of valuable room space that could have been great balconies. The room More was standard and my cabin steward saw us and introduced himself. During the cruise he kept everything up to my liking.
Dinner that night (we asked for late seating but got stuck on early) was interesting. The wait staff seemed far to understaffed to wait on us fully. We had to ask for water to be refilled all the time and virtually every night in the dinning room. Special requests were not really possible as the staff spoke very little English. One of my cruise mates asked for a chocolate chip cooked for dessert one night and the wait person offered him drizzled chocolate on a plate..he never got the cookie! The food wasn't bad but on the surf and turn night, the "filet" was either pot roast or prim rib (which was an entree a few nights earlier) and it was covered in gravy. While food came out about the same time for all of our party, the service was slow. During lunch in the dining room, service was even slower! Bar service in the dinning room was virtually non-existent so we ended up getting our drinks before dinner and bringing them in with us. While at the table, we would get up and go elsewhere to get them.
The buffet on the 14th deck had its own challenges. While there was a variety of foods, it was the same thing every day. During transitions from different dinning times, i.e. breakfast, lunch or dinner, all of the food would be removed for up to a half hour. So during those times, if you came up, there would be no food...anywhere!!! They served pizza till midnight and then after that, only one station of cold bread with egg salad, tuna salad for chicken salad. There were free juices but after lunch, they machines were changed to just water or tea. The staff did keep the area clean pretty well but there was the general language barrier if you needed something.
Specialty dinning. Two restaurants, one steak place and one Italian place. Not what you would expect from a multi-million dollar cruise ship. In the steak house you sat at metal tables with plastic chairs. There was zero ambiance...just cold surfaces. Then the food was all ala-cart. The Italian restaurant seemed just a little bit nicer but while there was an entrance in the hallway, you were forced to walk through the back door of the steak restaurant to get into it. We didn't eat at either.
Surprisingly we found that there were very few bars and those were understaffed. We would wait 20-25 minutes for waitstaff and then they were rude. The bar staff themselves seemed completely uninterested in us as guests. They also spoke very little English so special requests were out of the question. Also the drink consistency was laughable. Each day the ship had a "drink of the day" similar to what all the other cruise lines have, however, the drink was never the same. I and two friends got on on one day at various bars and none of them looked or tasted alike. Alcohol is bread and butter for cruise ships. As such, they "push" drinks on you all them time. On MSC, that never happened. The servers never asked you if you wanted anything. They would walk around with empty trays and wait for you to approach them, and when you did ask for a drink, they seemed uninterested in helping you. We also found that throughout the ship, there were several times when bars ran out of certain types of liquor.
Entertainment. The main shows were OK but other than the Michael Jackson and ABBA show, it was the same cast doing the same thing with a different background. There were very few bands on board, mostly one or two people singing tunes and those were pretty poor.
Disembarking...we took our own luggage off and didn't have any issues.
In summary:
This was the third cruise ever for MSC out of the United States. I've never been on a European cruise but I cannot imagine that they don't want service. Did anyone at MSC actually do any research on what an American cruiser would want? If MSC wants to survive in the American market, they have a LOT of work to do Less

Katie Couric Is Engaged
'Tis the season for wedding bells…
U.S. television talk show host Katie Couric, whose first husband died of cancer in 1998, is engaged to Chicago banker John Molner, her spokesman said on Tuesday.
Couric, 56, accepted after Molner, 50, proposed during the weekend. They have been dating for about two years.
"I can confirm that she is engaged," Couric's spokesman Matthew Hiltzik said in an email.
Couric has two daughters with Jay Monahan, who died from colon cancer.
She launched her daytime TV talk show "Katie" in 2012, more than a year after the end of a stint as the first woman solo anchor of a U.S. nightly network news show, "CBS Evening News." She was also a co-host of NBC's early morning "Today" news show for 15 years.
Though Couric was raised Presbyterian, her mother was Jewish and her maternal great-grandparents emigrated from Germany.
Molner is head of mergers and acquisitions at Brown Brothers Harriman, a private investment bank in Chicago.
Mazel Tov!
When Larry King And Katie Couric Dated
Back in February, Katie Couric went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and told the world about the time her leather skirt inspired Larry King to ask her out in the 1980s.
It turned out to be a doozy of a date.
"We're driving home and I see we're going over Memorial Bridge and that's not the way back to my apartment," she told Kimmel. "So I said, 'Larry, where are we going?' He goes, 'My place.' And I was like, 'Oh, mother of God. Oh God.'"
"He lunged!" Couric added, describing King's attempt to kiss her.
Not one to take things lying down, the 79-year-old newsman surprised Couric on her hit talk-show, "Katie," to tell his side of the story.
"I had no idea Larry was here!" Couric said, seeing King. "Hi Larry, are you mad at me?"
"Nice to hold you again," King replied, grinning.
The surprise interview was organized by "Katie" guest Wendy Walker, a former "Larry King Live" producer, the New York Daily News reported.

Ed Koch's Spot on 'Sex and the City'
The late ex-New York mayor Ed Koch loved the limelight. Entertainment Weekly recalled a number of hizzoner's forays into pop culture, including acting in a cameo role in "The First Wives Club," hosting "Saturday Night Live," presiding as a judge on "The People's Court," and strutting the fashion runway on "Sex and the City."
David Arquette looked like he was enjoying the Playboy Super Bowl party down in NOLA this past weekend.
Amanda Bynes is reportedly now laying her weary head to rest at a Manhattan hotel after leaving her apartment when the non-smoking building's management threatened to evict her for incessant pot and cigarette smoking.
Lena Dunham has a fan in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, of all people. He wrote in HuffPo, "Girls wants to tell us something important about twentysomething females of the 21st Century. And, as the elders of our society, we should always be listening to those new voices crying out." And speaking of "Girls," Lena Dunham promises that we will continue to see a lot of her naked body on the show. And in keeping with the theme, her co-star Zosia Mamet didn't quite show up nude on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," but her red dress with a big cut out section in the front left little to the imagination. Attention single ladies! "How I Met Your Mother" star Josh Radnor has split up with his girlfriend of one year, "Twilight" actress Julia Jones. In news that we really wish we didn't know, Katie Couric went out on a date with Larry King. It was a very long time ago, when Couric was 30 and open to going out on dates with anyone just for the experience. "The whole situation was out of a bad Lifetime movie," Couric recalled of the evening with the much older talk show host.

Max Greenfield, who plays Schmidt on "The New Girl," has shown that you can turn some kibitzing into some tzedakah.
A few weeks ago Vulture made up a mock cover for a workout video that it imagined Greenfield's "lovably preening" Schmidt character might have made. It was all just a joke, but Greenfield kind of liked it and rose to the challenge of actually making a Schmidt exercise video. Greenfield released it on YouTube and it went viral. Imagine Greenfield's surprise when he found out that people weren't just getting a kick out of it; they were actually paying attention to his spinning technique.
$1 Million For a Bar Mitzvah? No Way, Kanye
Former NBC CEO Jeff Zucker threw his son Andrew a lavish bar mitzvah at the Four Seasons this weekend — complete with sushi, a celebrity guest list that included Katie Couric and customized Converse sneakers handed out to Andrew's pals as party favors.
But if there was one thing missing from the bash, it was an appearance by Kanye West, who demanded a staggering $1 million when the family asked if he would perform at the event. The New York Post reports that Zucker briefly considered offering West a mere $800,000 — but then came to his senses and offered the gig to Jewish rapper Drake instead (who accepted, presumably for a more reasonable price).
Thank you!

Doctor of Laws
Far from hiding in the ivied towers of the Harvard Law School, where he is Jesse
Climenko Professor of Law, Charles Ogletree has been a visible presence both in
public forums and in courtrooms. Born in 1952 to parents who picked crops in central
California, he has not only become a prominent legal theorist, but has also devoted
himself to the active pursuit of civil rights for all.
After completing his B.A. and M.A. at Stanford University, Ogletree earned a J.D.
from Harvard Law School in 1978. He joined the Washington, D.C., public defender's
office, where he rose through the ranks. In 1985 he became partner in the Washington
firm of Jessamy, Fort & Ogletree, and the same year was appointed visiting
professor at Harvard Law School. Within a few years he became director of Harvard's
Trial Advocacy Workshop, founder and director of its Criminal Justice Institute,
and founder of its Saturday School, which gives an educational boost to minority
In 1991 Ogletree served as legal counsel to Professor Anita Hill during the Senate
confirmation hearings for Justice Clarence Thomas. In 1994 he co-authored a book,
Beyond the Rodney King Story: An Investigation of Police Conduct in Minority
Communities. He has been a dynamic presence on public television, moderating
and commenting on legal matters, especially civil rights and minority issues.
A prolific writer and a compelling speaker, he is an eternal optimist, known as
someone who cannot say no to those who ask for his help.
Ogletree has spoken admiringly of Amherst for producing two of America's
great civil rights attorneys: Charles Hamilton Houston '15, dean of the Howard
Law School, and Judge William Henry Hastie '25. Amherst is proud to honor
him in turn.

Sources said BJP appointed party's general secretary Rudy to meet the Shiv Sena chief in Mumbai and remove misgivings that may have arisen after a meeting between former BJP chief Nitin Gadkari and MNS chief Raj Thackeray, Uddhav's estranged cousin.
Though the Shiv Sena has in its in-house journal 'Saamna' said the ties with BJP are intact and there is no discord between the two, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav has convened a meeting of his party's office bearers in Mumbai today to chalk out their strategy ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
BJP sources said Rudy will be meeting Uddhav at 7 PM in Mumbai to discuss the poll strategy and reassure him on the alliance. Party insiders have indicated that the Gadkari-Raj meeting had pushed the BJP in a piquant situation over its relationship with Shiv Sena, considering the MNS is Sena's rival in Maharashtra.
"The meeting with Raj Thackeray was not taken in good taste and has strained ties with Shiv Sena, which is an old partner of the party in Maharashtra.There is no question of a tie-up with any other partner in the state as BJP values its alliance with Shiv Sena.The attempt of sending an emissary is to placate the Shiv Sena and fine tune the alliance," a senior BJP leader told PTI.
Ties between the two old allies were strained recently after Gadkari met Raj Thackeray to seek his support for BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and not to put up his party's candidates against the BJP in the state.
Following the meeting Raj Thackeray announced his backing for Modi, saying his party MPs will support Modi for the PM post post-elections.
Post Raj-Gadkari meeting, it was believed that Shiv Sena chief Uddhav was upset over its ally's overtures to the MNS, a political rival of the Shiv Sena in the state.

Paul Caruso (drummer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Caruso (1 June 1955 - 3 May 2006) was a drummer who played for the Boston band The Atlantics.
Paul joined the Atlantics in 1979, as a replacement for Ray 'Boy' Fernandes, and played on the group's best selling record Lonelyhearts. He co-produced and played a drum instrumental on the song "Mercy" from Joe Perry's album Joe Perry which was nominated for a Grammy.[1] He also appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien as a drummer for Perry roughly a year before his death. Caruso was also an engineer on two Aerosmith albums, Just Push Play in 2001 and Honkin' on Bobo in 2004.

By Russell – Getting Off The Beaten Path In The Serengeti
My name is Russell Temu, driver-guide with ADS. I just concluded a 9-day safari (07th April to 15th April) with my two guests named Dave and Lynnette from Texas. We spent 8 nights on safari with 3-nights at Mbuzi Mawe, 3 nights at Ndutu Lodge and 2 nights at the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.
The green season in the Serengeti is the best time to get off the beaten path. During this time we can drive to the most secluded areas of the Serengeti where few tourists ever visit. In particular, the eastern Serengeti and Ngorongoro plains offer the best off the beaten track experience as during the green season these plains are green and full of wildlife while the rest of the year they are dry and desolate. ADS is one of the only companies in Tanzania to game drive these remote areas and it is always enjoyable taking guests on these explorations.
One of my favorite spots are the plains to the east of the Serengeti border in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area around the Nasera Rock Monolith (a sacred place for the Maasai) and Angata Kiti (a beautiful valley that cuts through the Gol Mountains and connects the Serengeti Plains to the Salei Plains). I don't think there is a more beautiful place in the Serengeti! I would like to share with you some photos of this area and some other highlights from the trip.
Thank you, Russell for ADS.

Desert Water Agency to raise rates in July
Final approval of rate hike will be on June 17th.
Palm Springs, Calif. - Desert Water Agency customers will soon be seeing a slight increase in their water bills beginning in July.
On Tuesday, the Desert Water Agency's Board of Directors approved a rate increase for use in the draft budgets, which would help the Agency cover the increased costs of maintaining and delivering safe, high-quality water supplies.
The rate adjustment was approved May 20. The draft budget will be reviewed June 3 and brought forward for approval June 17.
"DWA's top priority is to protect our customers, ensure reasonable rates and provide a reliable, high quality water supply," said Board President Craig Ewing. "Ratepayers' money is invested prudently to ensure a reliable water supply for now and into the future. Prior to implementing any rate adjustments, the Agency is continually on the look-out for cost reductions so that any increase in rates would be as minimal as possible."
The 2014 rate adjustment would be the final phase of a three-phase incremental rate adjustment that was previously approved in 2010. The first two phases took place in 2010 and 2012. If approved, the final incremental increase will become effective on July 1, 2014.
"DWA's rates are determined solely by the costs of delivering service—as operating costs go up, so must rates," says Katie Ruark, Desert Water Agency Public Information Officer. "This rate increase is nearly 20% but it translates to $0.00037 per gallon."
In a press release by the DWA, they state the reason rates are increased is because of rising operating costs such as, increased electrical costs, material costs, additional water testing and treatment, and State Water Project contract charges. They also state that DWA's rates are some of the lowest in the region.
Customers will be notified of the adjustment through a bill insert. More information on the latest rate change is available at Www.dwa.org/rate-adjustment

Along with Mark and Natalie, we left Saigon and headed for the bus station. We found a bus to take us to Ben Tre, a small river town just a couple hours out of the capital. We finally found a little distance from other travelers as there was only a handful here
It was quite a bit of a shock when we got there. This thing was tiny! And I mean TI-NY. There were six of us travelers, plus Liam, his wife and their dog. The boat was long and very narrow, maybe five to six meters long and no more than one and a half meters at its widest in the middle. Liam plopped down six folding chairs for our comfort, staggered and balanced on the sides so we wouldn't tip
A few hours later, after more slow boating, we stopped one more time on another island for a toilet break and a coffee. We had a chat with our man Liam and after some digging by us found out that he has been taking tourists out since 1995. In 1989 when things were very bad in Vietnam, he fled the country in search of a better life, but was captured in Cambodia and held in a detention camp for a month before escaping back into Vietnam. We were surprised at how good his English was; he explained he has learned mainly through tourists and reading
It was great to finally make it to Vinh Long after so long sitting in the tiny boat. We had sea legs for a bit after getting off but solid ground was very welcome. Since we arrived a bit late, we didn't have much time to search ourselves for a place to stay, and we wanted to head straight off to another island to sleep a night in a homestay. The area here is popular for this - the homestays supposedly a way to experience typical life in the Mekong Delta. We found the only open booking agency in town and ended up taking a package that included a boat to the homestay and the accommodations with dinner and breakfast included. We were very disappointed when we reached the place. It was not at all what we expected (a quaint, cozy home shared with a local family) but instead was pretty much a hotel in the jungle. In the rooms it was like being in a cage, since there was no privacy except for vertical bamboo poles that felt a little too much like prison bars. We tried to make the best of it anyway and in the morning we were off again after negotiating a private boat through the owner to take us for a tour of the area for a few hours around the little canals that split up the islands. Because the Mekong River has tides we had to wait a while before we could leave, and even then we passed through some canals where the water level was so low we were constantly scraping the bottom
Since the one time on this Mekong Delta trip that we went with a booking agency turned out to be a dud, we were even more determined to make the rest of the trip on our own. After our boat tour of the canals we were dropped off again in Vinh Long. We made our way to the bus station to find a ride to Binh Minh, where we were to take a ferry across the river to Can Tho. We found our bus and asked the driver how much. Wouldn't you know it, but the relatively short ride was going to cost us 30,000 dong each. With our experience traveling around Vietnam we knew we were being taken advantage of, and after a little digging, we found a price list on a wall in the office. Our destination was listed at 6,000 dong, one-fifth the asking price! We argued and argued with them, refusing to back down, and got them down to 10,000 dong each. They insisted that we had to pay more because of our big backpacks. Of course this was all bullshit since locals didn't pay anything extra to bring their boxes full of clucking chickens and god knows what else, but we had no choice so we finally succumbed and climbed aboard. The rest of the journey to Can Tho was thankfully uneventful.
In Can Tho we found a nice, cheap little guesthouse with a helpful and friendly owner
All together, the tour on this tiny boat with cushion-less benches was seven hours. By the end of it we'd had quite enough of boats and rivers and were more than ready to move on. After returning to Can Tho we caught our pre-arranged bus to Rach Gia on the west coast of the Mekong Delta. This town is the gateway to Phu Quoc island, where we would spend the last few days of our trip, basking in the sun on the white sandy beaches and whiling away the time.

Omnicom, CAHG sign up for regulatory compliance training
More than half of CAHG's staff will be required to undergo annual training as a condition for employment, which has offices in Chicago and New York. That includes all client-facing staff "in a direct position to influence deliverables for clients," said CEO Scott Cotherman.
"As there's increasing scrutiny over the development of materials in support of our clients' products and services, we feel responsibility to take a leadership position so that our clients have the confidence that we are able to provide them with the level of service they expect," said Cotherman. "Innovation and risk mitigation are often at odds with each other, but it's our responsibility to deliver the greatest possible innovation during a time of increased regulatory scrutiny."
Tom Harrison, who heads Omnicom's Diversified Agency Services unit, which includes the company's healthcare businesses, said the firm is looking to get out in front of anticipated demand for such training, though not many clients are asking for it yet.
"We are being proactive in that we are certainly expecting most of our clients to demand this as a cost of doing business for and with them," said Harrison. "It will make us more valuable communications partners. It is vital that clients' agency partners be in tune and fully versed on the regulations as we develop communications strategies for our clients and their brands."
The New York-based Center for Communication Compliance's training consists of three one-hour modules covering the regulatory environment and the how-to of tactical execution, followed by a test.

The lack of a Federal budget negatively impacts readiness.
But what is the real impact of the Senate's failure to do their Constitutional duties? Ships and aircraft are incredibly complicated machines that wear out and break. When major systems on a ship fail, it cannot get underway or perform a critical mission area. But what about the less important systems. Let's look at the non-skid coating on the deck of a DDG. It wears out because of sailors walking on it and the sea water washing over it, and things being being drug over it. When the non-skid looses it's grit, it can be slippery, especially when it gets wet. Now, put that slick deck at sea, in sea state three, at nigh, during a replenishment! Someone slips, falls over the side, and is lost!
There is another impact also. Ships and Aircraft require planned, periodic, depot level maintenance to permit those intricate systems to function through their planned service life. On aircraft, made of special metals like aluminum and magnesium, corrosion, caused by salt water, is a big, life cycle issue. No corrosion control equals aircraft failing much before their planned service life.
Now you can see how the failure of a minor system can be tragic. But, doing decks is on hold!! Why, because the Senate did not do their Constitutional duty. If that was an enlisted person who failed to do a maintenance requirement that ended up injuring another sailor, that enlisted person would be in deep trouble. Is the Leader of the Senate? No.
The same issues apply to aircraft. If a minor system fails on an aircraft, it may not return! But the real problem is not the Navy's ability to plan maintenance. It is our legislator's failure to do their jobs. But, the Fleet Sailors are the ones who will feel the punishment for the Senate and President's incompetence. I just hope it will not result in the death of a sailor!

Not having a budget has been something that hasn't been acceptable for the past 4 years. But it is also a result of the House not producing a budget that is passable. Paul Ryan's "my way or the highway" approach is just as responsible for this as the Senate. I know the popular conservative talking point is to blame the Senate, because it is a Democratic majority. Not laying blame on the House is just as foolish as blaming it all on the Senate.ReplyDelete
Um yeah... Paul Ryan's buget is one of many that republicans have put forth. The democrats have put forth NONE in the House. NONE in the Senate, and the President - who has to do one by law also, hasnt done one the entire time in office. I see why you post as anonymous as outing your ignornance in a public forum could be quite embarassing.ReplyDelete

Citation: Voss, K.A., Jackson, L.S., Jablonski, J.E., Bianchini, A., Hanna, M.A., Bullerman, L.B., Ryu, D. 2009. Concentrations and toxicity of fumonisin B1 in fermented corn grits are reduced by extrusion cooking with glucose supplementation. Proceedings of the US Japan Joint Panel on Toxic Microorgnisms. November 8-13, 2009. Tokyo, Japan. p. 12. Interpretive Summary: Abstract - no summary required.
Technical Abstract: Extrusion is a cooking method in which dough is forced under high pressure through a heated barrel using one (single-screw configuration) or two (twin-screw configuration) augers. In an earlier experiment (Voss et al., J. Food Protec. 71: 2036-2041, 2008), extrusion using the single screw configuration reduced fumonisin concentrations of three batches of contaminated corn grits. Adding glucose before cooking increased the reductions that were achieved and partially reversed the renal toxicity of one batch as determined by a 3-week rat feeding bioassay, The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the more efficient twin-screw configuration to reduce fumonisin concentrations and in vivo toxicity of the grits. Two batches of Fusarium verticillioides-fermented corn grits (Batch-1 contained 9.7 ppm fumonisin B1 (FB1); Batch-2 contained 50 ppm FB1 as determined by HPLC-fluorescence) were extruded (Batch-1E; Batch-2E) or extruded with 10% w/w glucose supplementation (Batch-1EG; Batch-2EG) using a twin-screw apparatus. FB1 concentrations of the extruded grits were also determined (HPLC) and were: Batch-1E = 2.7 ppm; Batch-1EG = 0.6 ppm; Batch-2E = 18 ppm; and Batch-2EG = 5.7 ppm. These values corresponded to FB1 reductions of 72% (Batch-1E), 94% (Batch-1EG), 64% (Batch-2E) and 89% (Batch-2EG). Batch-1, Batch-1E, Batch-1EG, Batch-2, Batch-2E, Batch-2EG as well as uncooked (control) or extruded (extrusion control) uncontaminated (<0.2 ppm FB1) corn grits were mixed (1:1) with basal rodent chow and fed to young male rats for 3 (n=5/group) or 8 (n=5/group) weeks. No significant differences in general appearance, body weights or detailed hematology and serum chemistry profiles were found. The kidney is the most sensitive target organ of fumonisins in male rats and evidence of renal toxicity was found in five of the six test groups. Specifically, relative kidney weights were decreased in groups fed the Batch-1 or Batch-2 diets while apoptotic tubule lesions consistent with fumonisin-induced nephropathy were found upon microscopic exanimation of the kidneys from animals fed the Batch-1, Batch-1E, Batch-2, Batch-2E, or Batch-2EG diets. Lesions were most severe in the groups fed diets having the highest FB1 concentrations: that is, Batch-1 (diet FB1 = 4.9 ppm), Batch-2 (25 ppm) and Batch-2E (9.0 ppm). Less severe, minimal to mild changes were evident in the Batch-1E (1.4 ppm) or Batch-2EG (2.9 ppm) groups whereas no lesions were found in the rats fed the Batch-1EG (0.3 ppm) diet, which contained the lowest levels of residual FB1. Taken together, the chemical analysis and bioassay findings indicate that extrusion with glucose using a twin-screw configuration reduces FB1 concentrations of contaminated corn grits and confirm that glucose supplementation enhances FB1 reductions as well as the in vivo toxic potential of the extrusion cooked grits.

There is plenty of storage space with a lock so you can leave your belongings in a safe place while you explore the city if you arrive before check-in, or need a place to leave your stuff after you check-out (for example, your flight or train doesn't leave until the evening).
The apartment is supplied with toilet paper, paper towel, dish-washing soap, hand soap, and garbage bags. The bathroom is broken up in to two rooms - one with a shower and two sinks and another with the toilet. There are two washing machines and a large washing sink located upstairs. The flat has Wi-Fi internet access in every room. The building is old but it has been remodeled and this apartment was remodeled only a couple of years ago. There is an elevator in the building.
You may request any of the following items: WIFI password, Czech mobile phone (in case yours doesn't work. It's a pay-as-you-go phone and you will have to buy the credit. There's also a blow dryer, laundry detergent, drying rack and key, Iron and ironing board, extra towels, pillows or sheets, board games (Settlers, Risk, Chess, Backgammon), playing cards and poker chips (and you would have to invite me to play too), electrical converters, umbrella, spices or other ingredients I have in my kitchen. Anything else I might have that you could use, just ask
The location of the apartment is on Benediktska street, nestled quaintly between Old Town Square and Namesti Republiky. This particular area of town is filled with fun and interesting things to do and see. There are bike tours, walking tours, river boat rides, and other fun stuff located within walking distance. Letna Park, which has a beer garden overlooking the city, is just across the river and up the hill. The grocery store is a 30 second walk and there is a 24 hour non-stop convenience store located down the street. There are two large shopping malls located a minute away. Public Transportation in this area is fantastic. In general, you can walk to many fascinating sites, but if you want to travel outside the center, all three metro lines - Green A, Yellow B, and Red C, are within walking distance.

Topp og bo så sentralt. Enkle, rene rom. Kjøkkenet var velutstyrt. Vi ble overrasket over at vi delte leiligheten med flere. Jeg er usikker på om dette kom tydleig nok fram på nettsiden. Ellers en fin leilighet med hyggelige og hjelpsomme verter i en vakker by!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment is right in the heart of the city. You don't need train or tram. It takes about 20 minutes walk to Old Town Centre. It's very safe as there is a police station right opposite of the apartment. The bedroom is so big and clean but the only thing was the bed, the mattress was too soft and deep inside and I got backache when I woke up. Toilet and kitchen is so clean. The price i also very reasonable. Hope we could visit Prague again soon and will definitely come back to stay!.
We had a great time in Prague. Viola let us in and showed us our room and gave us a map. She pointed Some Nice things on the map which we did, and it Where fun things that were not Very touristic. The room was nice, only the light did not work, but there was a small lamp that worked. The kitchen was organised and sometimes Viola was there so we could have a Nice chat, and ask her anything. Thank you Vincent and Viola.
The apartment was good, the room spacious and very close to the old town (not even 5 minutes to walk). Lots of restaurants and bars around. Vincent's assistant is a very nice and friendly person, always willing to help and answer all our questions.
The Flat was clean and Vincent and his assistant Lindsey are very friendly! She told us everything we need to know about the flat, the house rules and Prague itself.
The flat is large enough for 9 people but you need a bit of time management to get all 9 people through one bathroom with the only toilet in that flat.
For the breakfast we need to carry all the tables and chairs in one room so that we can launch all together because there is no real kitchen. And if you like to drink coffee you should better bring a coffee machine or at least a filter holder! Using a coffee filter inside a sieve is funny but need a lot of time and intuition ;-)
However, for that price I think the flat is fair enough for 4 stars and I really liked the close location to the center of Prague!
Thanks for the nice time!
Very nice and helpful host; great location! well, value for money
Friendly, good communication.
The flat is next to the city, 10 minutes by walking.
Absolutely recommend.

Fast-food workers in NYC stage strikes, rallies
There are 570 comments on the The Republic story from Jul 29, 2013, titled Fast-food workers in NYC stage strikes, rallies. In it, The Republic reports that:
Workers at McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's restaurants across New York walked out Monday in a one-day strike to demand better pay and the right to unionize, calling for minimum wage to more than double from $7.25 to $15 an hour and the end to what activists called "abusive labor practices."

That your friend has a son working at Starbucks with a college degree means very little to the discussion. Many factors are missing from your story,... perhaps this person does not present well, or was a poor student with marginal grades. Many factors other than just a college degree go in to obtaining gainful employment.

So when did the jobs at McDonald's become a career choice at minimum wage?? When Ronald Reagan changed us from a manufacturing, innovative, technical society to a service society, by setting up the systems which allowed millions to enter legally, and millions more illegally, while the jobs were shipped overseas. All the wealth went to the very rich, and the rest of us got screwed. If you want the jobs to come back, we have to change the system back to what it was before Reagan destroyed the USA.

What blatant stupidity on your part. Who would opt out of a 50 - 60K job to work at Starbucks?
So, in your warped mind, these recent college graduates feel that if they don't receive the 100K jobs, they would opt to punish themselves for a much lower wage job?
You idiot - they have to start repayment of their student loans 6 months after the graduate - and in your mind, they would rather punish themselves and struggle to repay their debt.
No wonder you keep your location hidden.

You are wrong. Reading your insensitive comments leads one to question your humanity. Not only do you wish to deny opportunities to low-income workers, you want to deny them social services that they qualify for. It appears you wish to punish people for being poor, to the point that threatens their life.
#346 Aug 6, 2013
The jobs ain't coming back,but,if you want them back you're gonna have to invent a time machine and halt technology as we know it.
People are now capable of creating the products a half a world away with an unskilled,underpaid work force subsidized by Governments without crippling regulations and taxes for a fraction of the price unionized Americans once did.
The only thing at this point thats gonna boost the economy with decent paying jobs is to drill baby drill.
The only lesson we learned as a nation through it all is to dumb down the masses.
All we can strive for is to not create our own brutal brand of ruthless Arab oil sheiks.
#347 Aug 6, 2013
Face it Joe ... You've been called out on your utter lack of personal responsibility in your life, and instead of looking to yourself for the reason for your failures ... Yet again ... you attempt to blame someone else.
Question Joe's personal responsibility .... the person must be lacking in humanity
Tell Joe to get an education ... the person has no empathy for Joe's tough life.
State that only skilled workers deserve skilled pay ... the person is attempting to deny Joe opportunity.
Your excuses are endless, however it is odd that you claim that you work for poverty wages yet have time to kill here on the internet instead of attempting to find something better.
Oh wait ... I must be attempting to deny you leisure time from your hard day at work. HAHAHAHAHA
You are the picture of the American loser.

And no, I've yet to see any college graduate succumb to a low level job out of anger at not receiving 100K - in your little mind, anything's possible - the real world is a much different picture.
You'll be shocked when you wake from your self induced coma.

Your "poorness" is accomplished by your lack of effort to do otherwise. If a life is threatened, you must be to blame.
The same opportunities that were presented to me are still presented to you. Your social services that you have are given to you through hard-working taxpayers' efforts, and you're welcome.
Your comments are totally insensitive to those that strive to make something of themselves. Shame on you. You apparently have no concerns for people who want to make their lives a success.

If one can afford to do. Many here, especially the one from Kent, Ohio, are simply FOS. Average wages of less than $30,000.00 for a family of 4, medium house values at $140,000.00, and they expect someone to believe they paid over $11,000.00 for a private school?
Come on - we can all do the math on this one!

BTW imbecile - I have a separate computer in a private office not on a network - if you actually worked in the IT field, your azz would have been busted for going on these sites while at work a long time ago!
That's even if you actually have a job - highly doubtful.
#356 Aug 6, 2013
I know it is probably surprising to you but not everyone in this country is struggling to earn a decent living. The average is just that ... represents the middle of the earning curve. Just because your trapped at the low end of the curve does not mean that the poster from Kent is.
Your math appears to be based on the same flawed logic that you use to justify paying the unskilled 15.00 an hour.
#357 Aug 6, 2013
Big talk from the obvious cable puller, who appears to know very little about network security and monitoring. Large corporations monitor bandwidth usage and block the sites which they do not want employees to visit. The only organizations that actually monitor individuals are little mom and pop companies,... too many seats to monitor in a real company.

Gotta love it when the internet cowboys start to talk tough. Makes one wonder about your IT claims.

i have just upgraded my HP dv3 laptop to windows 7. but instead of using win 7 home premium that HP sent along with their upgrade manager DVD, I used win 7 professional that i already had.
but before starting upgrade i used HP's upgrade manager to update BIOS, after that i installed win 7 pro and after the clean installation I again inserted HP's upgrade manager DVD as it said it had all the necessary drivers for my laptop. i have also downloaded all the drivers from HP site, and installed that were newer than the upgrade manager DVD.
everything has worked well so far, but im facing problem with changing screen brightness, it cannot be changed either by using HP's function keys (but functions keys work for everything else, like play, pause, stop, sleep) or via power options. even when i change the slider to change brightness it does nothing, brightness it stuck at 1 level. how can this issue be addressed? as at this brightness my battery drains too fast.
i have posted same topic on HO support forums, but still havent got any solution yet.

I'm keeping things simple here today. No long story about these muffins coming from my great grandmother or how I made them as a young child at my mother side. Just plain and simple...
I made these muffins to take for morning tea to the place that I use to work. They needed a treat and it had been a while since I last visited (over 6 months to be exact). So something special was in order. It was a cold and blustery day - needed to make something comforting. Warm spicey muffins sound like the trick. Enter chai spices. Hmm I could go with a carrot type muffin but that would be same old same old. Why not use this left over pumpkin up in the fridge. So I grate, grate, grate away. Measure, sift, stir, scoop, bake and out comes some incredibly fragrant and special muffins.
Top with a simple cream cheese icing which makes all things taste sensational and there you have it! A tasty, fragrant muffin that will hit the spot on a cold winter day!
Chai Spice Pumpkin Muffins
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 25 min
Keywords: bake dessert snack dairy free pumpkin muffin fall spring summer winter
Ingredients (12 Muffins)
- 2 cups pumpkin, grated
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoon bicarb soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamon
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup rice bran oil
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup sultanas Optional
- 1/3 cup spreadable cream cheese
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups Icing sugar
Preheat an oven to 180 degrees and set out 12 muffin papers into a muffin tin.
In a large bowl sift the flour, salt, bicarb soda, baking powder and spices together. Add in the brown sugar, oil, beaten egg, grated pumpkin, walnuts and sultanas. Slowly stir the ingredients together until combined.
Using a spoon, scoop out the batter into the muffin papers filling three-quarters full.
Place into pre-heated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when poked into the center.
Let the muffins cool completely before icing.For The Icing
In a large bowl sift the icing sugar and add the cream cheese. Stir to combine the ingredients together to form a slightly runny icing. If the icing is too thin add another 1/4 to 1/2 cup of icing sugar until a firmer icing is formed.
Spread the tops of the muffins with the icing and finish off with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Jaipur: BJP MLA from Khinvsar in Nagaur district, Hanuman Beniwal has been suspended from legislative party on Sunday.
The final decision on his suspension was taken in the BJP legislative party meeting held at Vidhan Sabha on the eve of assembly session.
Earlier, Beniwal was suspended from party after he made remarks against state BJP leaders, including former CM Vasundhara Raje and former minister Rajendra Singh Rathore.
Even after suspension, Beniwal will be member of legislative party and party whip will be applicable on him. During the session, he will sit with BJP MLAs but won't be able to attend meetings of BJP legislative party. Also, legislative party will not propose his name for speaking or taking part in discussion during the Assembly session.
Beniwal, however, said he will stand by allegations made by him against party leaders. During the session, he would raise issue of corrupt politicians irrespective of party. He claimed he would raise Dara Singh encounter case till former minister Rathore is not arrested. On his suspension, he said BJP will have to face the consequences.
Beniwal had hit the headlines after he accused Vasundhara Raje of being "corrupt" and asked chief minister Ashok Gehlot to take action against her at a function at Maharani Girls College in December.

Season of highlights for FSU hockey
by Bob Allan
Pioneer Sports Editor (Mar. 19, 1998)
BIG RAPIDS -- Ferris State hockey coach Bob Daniels thought one year ago was an important time for his program.
The Bulldogs failed to make the Central Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs and there was concern about how the kids were going to react.
Daniels shouldn't have been worried. FSU finished with 15 wins overall, the most since the 1992-93 year and was 12-15-3 in the CCHA. The 27 points was good enough for eighth place.
Those were some of the highlights for the Bulldog coach. "I was impressed with our record against the upper division teams," Daniels said of his winning records against Northern Michigan, Miami and Lake Superior State as well as 1-1-1 against Michigan. "That shows we are very close.
"The way we played Michigan State in the playoffs bodes well for the future -- both games we could have won," he added.
Other highlights of the season, according to Daniels was getting to the finals of the Pepsi Invitational, Kevin Swider making the All-Rookie team and Jim Dube making honorable mention and 14 players scoring double digits on the year.
But, none of it would have been possible if it wasn't for the hard work during the summer.
"Last summer was important and they came through real well," Daniels said. "That was a time to rebound and compete in the league and I give a lot of credit to Jeff (Blashill) and Brett (Colborne) a lot of credit for their leadership."
It was a win in Alaska which Daniels thought the team gained the confidence they needed for the second half of the year. The Bulldogs trailed late in the game, 4-3, before scoring a goal late in regulation and winning in overtime.
The game started a stretch for FSU where they went 7-3 and put themselves in contention for home ice.
Though they came up short in gaining home ice, Daniels believes he knows what it will take for his team to be in the top four in the CCHA. "We are going to have to gut out three to five more wins next year," he said. "There were a number of games where we could have won."
Helping next year's team will be a standout recruiting class. It is the fourth straight recruiting class Daniels feels strongly about.
But, once again, the summer is going to hold key. "The key ingredient is how they work starting Monday until they reconvene in August," Daniels said.
The 10 juniors will give the Bulldogs a strong senior class, something Ferris State hasn't experienced in a couple of seasons. Next year will be up to them in determining season and team goals.
"It is up to them how they want the season to be special," Daniels said. "Our seniors need to come together with one common goal."
What Daniels is probably the most proud of in his team is the way his players handle themselves off the ice. The overall GPA of the team is over 3.1 and our good kids off the ice.
"We didn't have one ounce of trouble -- the kids are good in the community and in the classroom," he said.

A Decade of Negative Returns
Last week, the S&P 500 Index made news by hitting a 4 year high. While Wall Street shamelessly hyped this grand achievement, here is the reality: At a time when tens of millions of Americans are nearing retirement, their portfolios have seen no real gains in the last four years. $10,000 invested in an S&P Index fund in 2008 is still worth $10,000. When you factor in the effect of inflation, investors have actually lost money over a four year period.
Taking a longer view of Wall Street's performance, the data only looks worse. The S&P 500 in 2012 is trading at the same levels as it did in 1999. In effect, a 13 year investment has provided zero return(and in reality, negative returns once management fees and inflation are factored in) for the hundreds of millions of Americans who use Wall Street to steward their retirement funds.
For years, investors have been told that mutual funds are the safest and surest way to save for retirement. Yet, 5 out of 6 mutual funds have performed worse than the market itself, meaning most investors would be happy to have a portfolio that showed flat growth over the last 13 years.

AVX Corporation supplied the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, currently studying Saturn and its moons, with its CYR10 and CYR15 multilayer glass dielectric capacitors. The ultrastable glass capacitors were used in communication and control of the Cassini spacecraft when it recently landed on Titan, one of Saturn's moons.
AVX has a long-standing relationship with NASA's space programs and has supplied passive components for many missions over the past 50 years.
NASA reported that the Huygens probe detached flawlessly from the Cassini spacecraft on Dec. 25, 2004. AVX capacitors facilitated the separation and allowed the probe to begin a 21-day trip to the surface of Titan. On Huygens descent to the surface floor, the CYR10 capacitors enabled Huygens' central computers to "wake up," to take readings and measurements of Titan's atmosphere and images of the surface.
The fused-monolithic construction of the glass dielectric capacitors provide high Q and a low dissipation factor that changes little with frequency and temperature excursions. This, coupled with a low, retraceable, extended-range temperature coefficient ensures stable, reliable and repeatable electrical performance, regardless of the capacitors environment. All AVX glass capacitors exhibit zero piezoelectric noise and have zero voltage coefficient regardless of age or style.

Thirty years ago, Pink Floyd released The Wall, a sprawling concept album about war, artistry and alienation mostly written by the band's co-founder and bass player, Roger Waters. Hours ago in a Palestinian refugee camp, the 65-year-old Waters promised to hold a concert on the spot if a West Bank barrier erected by Israel was, like its musical counterpart, torn down.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Waters claimed that Israel's wall was an "awful thing" amounting to a land grab and openly hoped that "it was destroyed soon." The day before, Waters told an auditorium full of film students and journalists at the Sam Spiegel Film School in Jerusalem that the West Bank checkpoint he passed through to visit Jenin was "an obscenity for other people in the world."
Waters has had success in the past tearing down geopolitical enclosures like the West Bank barrier. In July 1990, he launched a performance of The Wall at Potsdamer Platz to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall.
We hope that this time around, the Pink Floyd brainiac signs up artists other than Bryan Adams, Cyndi Lauper and Sinead O'Connor to help him bridge the cultural and political divide between Israel and Palestine. Might we suggest Israel's Kutiman, or Muslim rapper Mos Def? Anyone else you'd like to see take part in a new performance of The Wall? Let us know in the comments section below.

Cooking in a small space has its challenges.
Here to give you a little more prep room is the Mocubo chopping board from online invention community Quirky. The creation by Justin Giannone integrates three sliding containers that act as food storage. This streamlines food preparation, letting you quickly move on to slicing and dicing the next ingredient without disturbing your work flow. To date, Giannone has earned more than $10,000 for sales stemming from submitting this idea to Quirky.
Though the idea is simple (the best usually are), the Mocubo is well executed. The "one stop chop" is made of bamboo, a lovely, durable and regenerative material; the plant is one of the world's fastest growing, sprouting about two inches an hour. The 16-by-11-inch surface is treated with mineral oil to further reinforce the bamboo's strength against moisture and knife etchings.
Under the board, there are rubber feet to keep Mocubo from slipping and slots for three clear drawers to slide into place. A concept borrowed from industrial kitchens, the cutting board workstation screams efficiency. The drawers fit nicely beside the board, so you can sweep your cuttings quickly into them before working your knife skills on the next items. And of course, since your chopped up ingredients are stored underneath, this also maximizes available counter space. Though Mocubo primarily functions as a cutting board with storage, it also makes for an attractive serving platter, as you can see with the wine and cheese arrangement below.
