United States of Chocolateby Food Network Magazine in Food Network Magazine, February 7th, 2012
Treat yourself to a road trip like no other: We found America's best spots for chocolate lovers, from coast to coast.
Four Seasons Atlanta
On Fridays in March, the Four Seasons' restaurant, Park 75, rolls out an over-the-top, all-you-can-eat chocolate buffet, and there's usually a line out the door. The menu includes endless chocolate creations: brownies, chocolate-dipped macaroons and more. $30 for buffet; room rates start at $400 per night; 75 14th St. Northwest; fourseasons.com/atlanta
Chick & Ruth's Delly, Annapolis, MD
The 6-pound milkshake here was supposed to be a dessert for sharing, but customers started ordering one per person and trying to finish the shake alone. (It contains a half gallon of ice cream!) Now the milkshake challenge is official: Consume one in less than an hour and you'll join hundreds of champions on the restaurant's website. $18; 165 Main St.; chickandruths.com
Wagon Wheel, Greenbrier, AR
This is the place to try an unusual Arkansas specialty: biscuits with chocolate gravy. The dish is exactly as it sounds — two biscuits topped with a sweet gravy made of chocolate and cornstarch. Wagon Wheel is just off Highway 65 on the way to Branson, Mo., so lots of out-of-towners stop in to taste this quirky dish for the first time. $3 for a full order, $2 for a half order; 166 South Broadview St.; 501-679-5009
Goo Goo Clusters were invented in Nashville 100 years ago, and they're still sold all over town. An iPhone app called "Goo Goo Finder" will help you track down the nearest location. googoo.com
Colonial Williamsburg, Williamsburg, VA
In the 18th century, chocolate bars weren't snacks — they were a delicacy, intended to be melted for drinking. Back then, turning raw cacao beans into one pound of chocolate could take all day. You can see a reenactment on the first Tuesday of the month from September through June. (Why no summer shows? Experts think colonists likely didn't make chocolate in July and August.) Free admission with $19 to $38 tickets to Colonial Williamsburg; 101 Visitor Center Dr.; history.org
Abbey of Gethsemani Homemade Fudge, Trappist, KY
When the Trappist monks settled in the hills of central Kentucky in 1848, they supported themselves by farming. Now they sell fruitcake, cheese and, best of all, homemade fudge. The monks make it daily in eight flavors, including Kentucky-themed chocolate bourbon and mint julep. It's sold online, but we recommend stopping by in person and hiking the abbey's trails. $22 per pound; 3642 Monks Rd.; gethsemanifarms.org
Whetstone Chocolates Factory, St. Augustine, FL
This spot calls its hour-long factory tour a "tasting tour" because you get to try so many treats along the way. Among the samples: 72-percent cacao chocolate (it's intense!), roasted cacao nibs and Whetstone's famous chocolate seashells. $7 for adults, $5 for children; 139 King St.; whetstonechocolates.com
Len Libby, Scarborough, ME
No trip to Maine would be complete without a moose sighting, and stopping at Len Libby guarantees you'll see at least one: a 1,700-pound, life-sized moose named Lenny that's made of milk chocolate. You can't take a bite of his antlers (just about everyone asks), but you can eat as many of the one-pound versions as you'd like. $19 for a one-pound chocolate moose; 419 U.S. Route One; lenlibby.com
Daffin's Candies, Sharon, PA
The chocolate kingdom inside this supermarket-sized store is filled with castles, animals, even a moving Ferris wheel — all made of milk chocolate. Two Sundays before Easter (March 25), the factory is open for tours — and lots of free treats. Store located at 496 East State St., Sharon, PA; factory located at 7 Spearman Ave., Farrell, PA; daffins.com
Chocolate Trolley Tour, Boston
On this three-hour ride, tour conductors give a history lesson on Boston specialties like Toll House cookies and Boston Cream Pie as you travel from one chocolate tasting to the next. Guides ask chocolate-trivia questions along the way and award you with a diploma from the "Institute of Chocology" at the end. $80 per person; 3 Park Plaza; 617-269-7150
These popular Philadelphia candy bars were originally created as military rations during World War I; today they're sold at almost every pharmacy and supermarket in town. justborn.com/peanut-chews
Chutters, Littleton, NH
How much candy do you need to stock the world's longest candy counter? Ask the folks at Chutters: Their 112-foot counter holds about 600 jars full of candies and chocolate bars — and that doesn't even count the truffle and fudge selection. The milk chocolate fudge is a must-try. 43 Main St.; chutters.com
The Spa at the Hotel Hershey, Hershey, PA
We've heard of chocolate spa treatments, but never edible ones. Here, customers can lick their lips after a chocolate mask is applied. Other chocolate services include a cocoa bath, a sugar scrub and a mud wrap. Chocolate services start at $50, room rates start at $259 per night; 100 Hotel Rd.; chocolatespa.com
Jacques Torres Chocolate, New York City
Renowned chocolatier Jacques Torres is so obsessed with chocolate, he designed his West Village shop to be brown and oval-shaped, so you feel like you're stepping into a cocoa pod. Sit in the café with a chocolate croissant and hot chocolate and watch the candy-making in action. 350 Hudson St.; mrchocolate.com
Chocolate Flower Farm, Langley, WA
Everything grown in this 8-acre garden is chocolate themed, including 6-foot brown sunflowers, chocolate-colored corn and cocoa-scented blossoms. The farm is open from April to September, but the store in town, stocked with fun chocolate gardening supplies, is open year-round. Free admission; garden located at 5040 Saratoga Rd.; chocolateflowerfarm.com
Bellagio Resort, Las Vegas
The Bellagio's chocolate fountain set a Guinness World Record when it was built in 2005: It's more than 26 feet tall and circulates nearly two tons of melted chocolate. It's enclosed in glass (sorry, no dipping!), but Jean-Philippe Pâtisserie is right next door to satisfy cravings. Rooms from $159 per night; 3600 Las Vegas Blvd. South; bellagio.com
Try a Rocky Road candy bar when you're in the area: The chocolate-covered cashew-and-marshmallow treats, invented in California in 1950, are still a West Coast favorite. annabelle-candy.com
Oregon Chocolate Festival, Ashland, OR
The first weekend in March means one thing in Ashland: chocolate. A ticket to the town's annual chocolate festival buys two days of chocolate-themed seminars and classes, and practically unlimited sampling. "People really leave in a chocolate coma," says organizer Karolina Wyszynska. $20 per ticket; 212 East Main St.; ashlandspringshotel.com
Ethel M Chocolates, Henderson, NV
The candy-making execs at Mars are normally as tight-lipped as Willy Wonka about their upcoming products, but at this chocolate factory, about 20 minutes from the Vegas Strip, you can check out some products before they hit shelves. The Ethel M company store stocks small-batch items produced on-site before Mars decides whether to roll them out. You can also see chocolate-making in action on the factory tour. Free tour; 1 Sunset Way; ethelm.com
Spun Sugar, Berkeley, CA
This candy-supply superstore has everything you need to turn your kitchen into a chocolate factory: thousands of molds, every shade of food coloring, plus garnishes like edible glitter. The main attraction is the Wall of Chocolate, which holds just part of the store's 5,000-pound stash of chocolate. 1611 University Ave.; spunsugar.com
The Grill at Hacienda del Sol, Tucson, AZ
Chefs at this Southwestern restaurant host a chocolate-themed dinner every few months, and they're thinking way beyond molé. Past menus include scallops in a white chocolate sauce and dark chocolate-marinated beef. The next dinner is scheduled for March 17. $50 for a four-course meal; 5501 North Hacienda del Sol Rd.; haciendadelsol.com
Carol Widman's Candy Company, Fargo, ND
You won't believe what this place dips in chocolate: olives, jalapeños and, best of all, potato chips (aka Chippers). Ask for a sample! 4325 13th Ave. South; carolwidmanscandy.com
Northern Chocolate Company, Milwaukee
Jim Fetzer is the real-life chocolate-shop version of Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi." His mandates: no fur, no cell phones and no unaccompanied children. "It can be horrific or it can be fabulous coming here, depending on what mood I'm in," Fetzer says. If he lets you in (you have to buzz and meet his standards to gain entry), try the mint meltaways. 2034 North Dr. Martin Luther King Dr.; 414-372-1885
Murray Hotel, Mackinac Island, MI
Mackinac Island has seven fudge shops on its 4.4 square miles, earning it the unofficial title of fudge capital of the world. Stay at the historic Murray Hotel, home to the biggest fudge selection in town. Fudge, $13 per pound; rooms from $89 per night, mid-May through October; 7260 Main St.; mymurrayhotel.com
Bradley Center, Milwaukee
When Frontier merged with Midwest in 2010, frequent fliers wondered what the name change would mean for Midwest Airlines' beloved chocolate chip cookies. Frontier still offers them — but you can also get your fix on the ground at Milwaukee basketball and hockey games. Wisconsin's Sendik's Food Markets also sell the dough. $3.50 per cookie; 1001 North 4th St.; bradleycenter.com
Baileys' Chocolate Bar, St. Louis
In most bars you're lucky to find one chocolate cocktail on the menu, but at Baileys' Chocolate Bar, you can choose from dozens. In addition to chocolate beer, chocolate port and a Chocolate Stout Shake, Baileys' has a separate chocolate martini menu with 15 options. 1915 Park Ave. (in Lafayette Square); baileyschocolatebar.com
Long Grove Confectionery Co. Factory, Buffalo Grove, IL
This isn't your average chocolate-factory tour: A 2,500-pound chocolate Statue of Liberty greets you in the lobby, a 500-pound chocolate Santa sits in the theater and the hallways are lined with art — eight Monets and one Seurat made of chocolate. $2 per person for a tour (free on weekends), weekday reservations required: 888-459-3100; 333 Lexington Dr.; longgrove.com
Grab an Iowa-made Twin Bing from a local store. Each pack comes with two chocolate-and-peanut-coated cherry nougat treats. palmercandy.com
Amore Chocolate Pizza Company, Leawood, KS
You won't find any pepperoni or Parmesan in this pizza joint: Owner Annette Cook makes her pies out of chocolate. She opened the shop two years ago after friends raved about her fun twist on pizza — a puffed-rice cereal, marshmallow and chocolate base with coconut and white chocolate "cheese." The shop sells several varieties. Chocolate pizzas starting at $3; 4821 West 117th St.; amorechocolatepizza.com

DAVID Flitcroft has joined up with The Bolton News to write a weekly column.
In his latest instalment, the Bolton-based Bury manager talks about a competition he believes could keep teenage players in the sport I WAS appalled to read the latest statistics produced by the FA about the decline in numbers playing grassroots football and Sport England's subsequent decision to slash £1.6million from its funding for the game.
For me, one of the reasons behind this fall in participation is the state of facilities, which are in short supply and a horrendous state.
The standard of Bolton's facilities are very poor and give lazy coaches a great excuse to favour long-ball tactics.
With facilities in their current state, I believe we are in a vicious circle – numbers will continue to fall and with them the funding, so the park pitches we have will continue to decline.
To break this cycle I believe we need to think harder and be more creative.
We know the problems, so we need solutions.
I believe the resonsibility lies with the professional game to give back to the grassroots.
The FA, the Premier League and the Football League have a duty to open up the use of the country's finest facilities.
One idea I would like to explore would be a cup competition that gives players the chance to perform on some of our very best pitches, including those at the FA's headquarters at St George's Park. I have had the pleasure of working at FA's HQ and seeing the operational side of St George's Park – the home of English game's development programme.
It is a truly inspirational venue, boasting outstanding grass pitches and an indoor 4G arena that is just jaw-dropping and could easily host weekend tournaments for grassroots teams.
The prospect of playing there would stimulate interest and competition – teams would have to earn the right based on results, respect and meeting fair-play targets.
The best two teams would go on to play at Wembley in a showcase final to promote the very best of grassroots talent.
Qualification through the various regional stages would feature finals at top grounds – so in Bolton the winners of each local league would compete at non-league venues, such as Eagley, Old Bolts and Radcliffe Borough to set up a final at the Reebok.
Winners of the regional finals would go head-to-head at St George's over a three-day televised sponsored event before the Wembley finale.
Such a competition would stimulate players and coaches not to give up on the game, but keep on striving for the chance to play and manage at these kinds of venues.
Competition and environment stimulates growth.
I know from experience how much players at a local level are motivated by the chance to play at the Reebok in the final of the Hospital Cup.
I went to play for Turton in a couple of games and the excitement and desire to play in that competition was incredible.
Saying all of this, and while the figures may tell a different story, I do believe there is still a healthy number of players in the grassroots system. I would suggest that from under-14s level down, participation is stronger than ever.
Most of the kids who are good enough to go on and play in a professional academy have done so by this stage.
It is the players left behind that need re-booting and reinvigorating. They are the ones that need to be given something to aim for.
Another option would be to create a national inter-league competition.
It would follow the same principle, with the chance to play at the country's biggest and best grounds as the carrot, but maybe run in a Champions League-style format.
The attainers and achievers in each league would have something to aim for – the chance to play at venues and on pitches that are a million times better than what they currently play on.
These competitions would need an organisation team and committee, but when you look at the outstanding work done by our own Bolton and Bury Junior Football League, then I see no reason why a committee recruited and organised by the FA could not run a successful grassroots Champions of Champions competition. The key ages we need to focus on are between 16 and 21 – this is when players start to favour a social scene over football.
Watching teenagers drift away can be demoralising for even the most enthusiastic of coaches.
Give these kids and coaches the incentive to keep alive a dream that started out at the age of five – that one day, if they stay in love with the game, they may get the chance to play at the Reebok, Old Trafford, the Emirates, St George's Park or even Wembley – then you will be creating a memory for life.

Yeni Akit , February 21st, 2012
Apart from politicians and NGO's, minorities in Turkey are also presenting their suggestions about the new constitution to the commission. Greek Patriarch Bartholomeos and the Chairman of the Mor Gabriel Monastery Foundation, Kuryakos Ergün, presented their suggestions about the constitution.
Indicating the importance of the invitation they have received, Bartholomeos said, "This is the first time in the history of the [Turkish] Republic that minorities have been given such an official invite." And Ergün said, "Today is a historical day for us."
Egypt Middle East News Agency, September 6th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: The judgment for the People of the Book has been explicitly stated in the Qur'an and it is very clear according to the actual sunnah of our Prophet (saas). PEOPLE OF THE BOOK ARE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. JEWS AND ARMENIANS, ORTHODOX, PROTESTANTS - THAT IS THE CHRISTIAN WORLD- ALL ARE OUR BROTHERS. WE BELEIVE IN THE SAME GOD. ALLAH IS THE SAME ONE GOD IN JUDAISM, IN CHRISTIANITY AND IN ISLAM. ALL OF THEM HAVE THE SAME BASIC BELIEFS, THAT IS WHY THE PRESENCE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK IS A BLESSING. I MEAN INSTEAD OF THEIR BEING IRRELIGIOUS OR A PART OF ANY HERETICAL MOVEMENT, THEIR BEING THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK IS A GREAT BLESSING. That is not something disturbing for Muslims, it is highly reasonable because Allah states in the Qur'an that the People of the Book exist. There are beautiful things that they will do. Living with them in a brotherly way, talking to them, meeting them, having discourses, dining, drinking with them- a Muslim may even marry a Jewish or a Christian girl- means we share a complete social life with them. So they are trustworthy people. If you marry a woman, if you have children from that woman and if you live in the same family, that indicates a very strong friendship and love.
Kral Karadeniz TV, January 30th, 2009
Adnan Oktar: The good intentions, love, compassion and affection of the Turkish-Islamic World should constantly be emphasized; we need to make our Christian and Jewish brothers feel our determination in protecting them with an intense affection. I mean, we need to make them feel that there is no discrimination between us and that they are our very dear brothers…

"I was able to pick the color and font that I wanted. Loved that I could personalize with my own picture. Magnets are a great way to help ensure that people don't discard them. The quality was amazing. People loved them! Wonderful product, everything I expected and more."
"I had the designer mock up a color that was not offered for preview. The proof arrived lightning fast. Then the actual magnets arrived four days ahead of schedule! We will be ordering invitations from WPD as well."
"Love that it wasnt too big and can fit on the side of the fridge nicely (if you have a stainless steel fridge). Love it."
"Our wedding theme is rustic so with this particular save the date it fit perfectly. My fiancé and I have been together for 10 years so it was a great story line for those whom we met in the last few years or so to share pieces of our history. Very fast shipping. I ordered on a Tuesday night and they arrived first thing Saturday morning. The printing was perfect."
"These magnets came out beautifully; they are simple but elegant. The designer recommendations were spot on and the item arrived exactly as it was stated in the order. I have already received many compliments and would recommend this to anyone."

♦ The signing of a contract between the Somali government and UK oil and gas exploration company Soma to collect data on onshore and offshore oil has been called non-transparent, and raised concerns about whether oil politics could destabilise the country's fragile recovery.
♦ Prague's CorruptTour agency is selling out bookings for their Crony Safari that brings tourists to a sites connected with the most famous corruption scandals – from an address registered by 600 companies to a school where cash can buy a degree.
♦ The monetary tightening by India's central bank could close credit arteries and make it difficult for the country's banks to cover a mass of rapidly souring loans, writes Reuters' Andy Mukherjee, as short term funding costs have increased during a time where the economy has slowed and the stock market is slumping.
♦ The drive by policy makers to put Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac out of business doesn't make any sense, writes Joe Nocera, as they are no longer bullies, are making the government money, and are necessary to uphold the core of American housing finance.
♦ The sit-ins being held around Egypt by those in favour of reinstating President Mohamed Morsi will likely not work, according to an analysis by Foreign Policy's Erica Chenoweth, as studies show that nonviolent campaigns must follow a strategy of carefully sequenced moves, or they can end in catastrophe.

THE creativity and talent of patients, too often overshadowed by their condition,was at the heart of Mental Health Awareness Week this year.
Artwork produced by former and current service users was unveiled at Chatsworth House on Tuesday to coincide with the week of action.
The paintings, woodcarvings and pieces fashioned out of felt, will now have pride of place at the centre, giving the Old Town facilities a more welcoming feel.
Over the past year, service users attended the TWIGS craft studio and collaborated on abour 20 colourful works of art.
The project was launched to allow people experiencing mental health problems, to regain their confidence and self-esteem and learn new skills.
"We involved 30 of our service users in the TWIGS project," said Penny Errill, a social worker in the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership recovery team.
"They all experienced mental distress. They came up with great artistic work.
"We wanted to show a different side to mental health. "It's very healing for people to be involved in these kinds of project. "We all feel proud when we have done something that looks good. It's very good for our self-esteem. "And for them to see their art on the walls is thrilling."
Many techniques were used to adorn and brighten the walls, such as rag-rugging, felting and appliqué.
Some of the works focused on iconic Swindon and Wiltshire landmarks, while others centred around the themes of hope and wellbeing.
Brenda Green, of Eldene, who suffered from social phobia, said bringing herself to attending the craft studio was a challenge in itself.
But meeting others in similar circumstances and working as a team allowed her to get her confidence back.
"A lot of people suffer from mental health issues and art is a way to express your feelings," she said.
"I think being creative and sensitive is all part of mental health. "I had a social phobia for years. Working in a group was hard but being with people who suffered like me has helped me. You tend to think you're on your own but you're not.
"It's an achievement to see something on the walls you are proud of."
Chris Dunn, of Rodbourne Cheney, was one of the many artists involved.
She said: "It has really helped. The studio was a safe haven and it helped bring out our creativity. "I have a social phobia so going to TWIGS was difficult but we got a lot of support and the artwork allowed us to forget our troubles."

We're entering a period of high change, high choice in new types of devices… phones, tablets, readers, televisions, computers in various form-factors. Things will change even quicker as more operating systems make their Flash-enabled releases. I don't know enough to offer a model-by-model buying guide, but here are a few quick questions which can help classify device choices.
One of the tricky incentives is that nearly every manufacturer wants to highlight the world's creative SWF content… they want Flash. This leads to differences between various Player 10.1 and Flash Lite offerings… between devices which have worked with Adobe for mutual optimization and those which haven't… even between Adobe runtimes and non-Adobe SWF renderers (whether JavaScript or native code or third-party ports).
Fastest shortcut is to check the devices Adobe has tested, in the Player 10.1 System Requirements page. [Update: New device page now available, more models.] These are known quantities, where both parties have worked together for a highlighted release. I don't know how frequently this list will be updated as device shipments swell this autumn, but if you see a model on this list, then you know Adobe has confirmed the results.
Next, check the partner list at OpenScreenProject.org. These are manufacturers who are working with Adobe to bring a consistent high-performance interface layer across any screen. If they're on this list then check more into particular models, but if they're not a partner, then it's good to check more into their particular SWF support.
Those are the big two differentiators — look for a known quantity, whether a model or a vendor. Here are some other tips, based on current online conversations.
- Whose code? If an unexpected site offers an installation called "Adobe Flash Player", then please really check into what it really is. There are some legit non-adobe.com installations (OS partners, some high-profile download aggregators, a few) but if a download doesn't come from adobe.com, then it's good to wonder why. Same goes for the operating system. Mainstream configurations are more predictable. (The history of early PostScript has some parallels, but on today's Web there are additional security concerns.)
- Flash Lite or Player 10.1? Up to you. Each is a different era, will do different things. There have been a billion or two devices shipped with Flash Lite through the world, and they'll continue to play a role for some time to come. You may want your own high-end most-current device, but it's really vital to know how your potential audience may experience things too. If you're developing creative work for realworld audiences, then experiencing their experience is vital. Up to you.
- Will my model play Flash later? Will it update? The manufacturer will be the best source of info. The general goal is for all devices to just automatically auto-update as time goes on, but it will take awhile to achieve that.
- Will it all be totally groovy? Groovier than without, but the World Wide Web's graphics & video haven't always anticipated being displayed on itty-bitty screens (or great-big screens either, for that matter). It will take a few years before the Web is equally happy on all types of displays. High-resolution video files will particularly strain a connection. Set your expectation against prior reality, not idealized reality. It's a big step forward.
- How to troubleshoot? First step is to identify the actual problem, whether it's stability, or performance, making the problem happen on-demand. On customizable devices it's particularly necessary to get back to a known configuration. Adobe has info on general support, but for a new device, your manufacturer's support area would likely have more pertinent and timely info.
- Player vs AIR: The Adobe Flash Player works within browsers, and there's a lot of existing web content, whether that's one-third, two-thirds, whatever. AIR is applications, where the interface logic and data remain on your personal machine. Whether the app code itself is "in the cloud" or "on the desktop" is your own choice, and most people find both are necessary. First AIR/mobile deliveries are expected to appear on Android later this year. Do what makes sense for you now.
Bottom line: Try lots. Not just one form factor either. The devices you'll use daily eighteen months from now likely don't even exist yet. Experiment. Figure out how applications should work in daily life, how these devices should bend to your will. Watch young kids, to see how they naturally want to use it. Even if you can't purchase one soon, then you're still free to think, to imagine, to figure out what would be really useful, in a world where any screen communicate with any other. Now's the time. Go for it.

Area home sales see big jump in October
Published: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 9:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 9:15 p.m.
October sales of existing single-family homes in Gainesville were up 30 percent over the same period a year ago, while the median sales price was flat, signs that the local housing market continues to march toward a turnaround.
Florida Realtors reported 142 sales in the Gainesville Metropolitan Statistical Area of Alachua and Gilchrist counties compared with 109 in October 2011. The median sales price was $164,900 in October for both years.
Sales for the first 10 months of the year are up 10 percent over last year's pace, while the inventory of homes listed for sale is down 18 percent, a combination that should lead to higher sales prices if the momentum continues.
The median sales price of $155,000 for those 10 months is down 3 percent from a year ago. July was the last month the price did not drop in year-to-year comparisons. The price fluctuations are a sign the market has approached bottom.
Indications are the momentum will continue into the usually slow winter months, with pending sales of homes under contract that have yet to close up 71 percent in October to 219 from 128 a year ago.
Craig Wilburn, president of the Gainesville-Alachua County Association of Realtors, has said a 5-7 month supply of inventory in Gainesville is a balanced market. At October's pace of sales, Gainesville has a 9.4-month supply of homes, down from 13.8 months a year ago, but still favoring buyers.
For much of the year, closings lagged behind a large increase in pending sales until recent months when closings on sales have shot up. Wilburn attributed that to a large number of short sales that take longer to close.
Gainesville's economy also is showing other signs of improving, with unemployment falling to 6.2 percent in October, the lowest level in more than three years.
Statewide sales in October were up 25 percent over the year, while the median price was up 9 percent, from $133,000 to $145,000, while pending sales under contract were up 57 percent.
Condominium and townhouse sales were up 55 percent in Gainesville in October, with 45 closings compared with 29 a year ago, while the median sales price was up 26 percent from $58,000 to $73,000. At the October pace of sales, there is a 6.3-month supply of condos on the market.
Statewide condo sales were up 16 percent over the year in October, while median sales prices were up 20 percent from $89,000 to $107,000.
U.S. sales of all housing types rose 2 percent from September to October and were up 11 percent over October 2011, the National Association of Realtors reported Monday. The median sales price was up 11 percent to $178,600 over the year.
Rising home prices have resulted in a $760 billion growth in home equity during the past year, NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said.

A 46-year-old man from Manchester has been arrested on suspicion of murder after police found a man's body at 8.15am today, Saturday, on Manchester Road in Rixton.
Officers say he is the driver of a DAF articulated lorry.
An unidentified white man was found dead in the road.
Police say he is believed to be associated with an empty car found nearby.
Witnesses say it was a possible road rage attack.
The road between the junction with the M6 and Moat Lane was closed for most of Saturday but is now open again.
Police have launched a major investigation and are speaking to witnesses.
They are appealing for anyone who was travelling in the area at the time of the incident and may have seen erratic driving, or anything unusual, to call 101.

It sure is tough to get kids to eat their vegetables — not when a delicious pizza or hunk of chocolate lurks around every corner. One of the more successful ways parents have found to keep their kids diet in check is by mixing those veggies in with juice. After all, you can squeeze the juice out of as much kale as you want, but if there's an apple involved, it'll still taste good.
Tropicana is taking this idea and running with it. Introducing their new 'Farmstand' line of healthy juices*. When the three flavors roll out next month, they'll feature an array of vegetables you don't normally see in bottled juice. Some varieties include beets and even sweet potatoes. We didn't even know one could juice a sweet potato. You learn something new every day.
Don't worry. It's not all bitter veggie. The line will also include popular fruits such as peaches, mangoes, strawberries and bananas. Also, the company plans on spending more than $30 million on marketing and advertising so, who knows, maybe your kids will begin asking you to serve them more vegetables instead of less.

Tumble into some good feelings
Drumroll please… The NSVRC has burst onto the scene on with a new online presence, welcoming a Tumblr blog to the social media lineup. The new Tumblr, lovingly titled "Feel Good." has been deemed the place to be for all things healing. Feel Good is a place for content about trauma coupled with the triumph of the human spirit. We're striving to make this online space a true sanctuary. Our hope is that everything posted to Tumblr will be trauma-informed, promote self and community care, and never need a trauma notice or trigger warning.
Just to give you a little sneak peek into what's been posted so far, we've launched on an enthusiastic reminder that play is a source of renewal. I'm totally loving the artistic and deep reflections of a poet who reminds us that we can enjoy our own company. For the geeky, science loving healers among us (ooh, ooh, pick me!), settle into a good read on the healing properties of tears.
Finally, my personal favorite is the recent post about the cutest mountain climber you will ever see! Little miss strawberry shortcake is the embodiment of strength, triumph, and tenacity. She reminds us that every day is a day when you will probably do something amazing. I hope that you will take the time to reflect on the good that you will do today, celebrate your victories, and know that the world is a better place because you are in it.
For more Feel Good posts, follow the NSVRC tumblr today. #healing

Hamilton fastest in F1 practice in BrazilSao Paulo
Published: November 24 2012 - 12:41PM
Lewis Hamilton continued at Interlagos on Friday where he left off in Texas last Sunday by setting the pace in opening free practice for this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix title showdown.
On a day of soaring heat and rising tension, the 27-year-old Briton clocked a best lap time in one minute and 14.026 seconds to outpace defending champion German Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull.
Vettel, who leads the title race by 13 points ahead of Sunday's finale, only needs to finish in the top four to become the youngest triple world champion in Formula One history.
His only rival for the title, two-time champion Fernando Alonso of Ferrari, was fifth fastest, separated from the front pair by Vettel's Red Bull teammate Australian Mark Webber and his own in-form Ferrari teammate and local hero Felipe Massa.
Vettel was three-tenths of a second slower than Hamilton while Webber, Massa and Alonso were so closely matched that they were separated by just 0.007 seconds at the end of the afternoon session.
Hamilton, who won the United States Grand Prix in Austin last weekend, and won the 2008 title in dramatic fashion at Interlagos, topped the times in both sessions and looked supremely confident and fast in his 110th and final race for McLaren before his impending move to Mercedes next season.
He showed his emotion by reportedly bursting into tears during a television interview on Thursday and by adding the slogan 'Thank You McLaren' to his bright yellow helmet.
Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher was sixth fastest for Mercedes, in his final Friday practice session before heading off into retirement at the age of 43 and with tributes ringing in his ears.
His Mercedes teammate and fellow German Nico Rosberg was seventh ahead of Hamilton's McLaren teammate and compatriot Jenson Button, Frenchman Romain Grosjean of Lotus and Briton Paul Di Resta of Force India.
After a warm, bright morning, the afternoon session was run in hot, dry early summer weather with the air temperature rising to 33 degrees and the track temperature into the mid-40s, conditions that meant tyres had to be treated with great respect.
The track peaked at 49 degrees.
But a weather forecast of heavy rain due to arrive late on Saturday and into the weekend posed questions for the teams' set-ups with some opting for more down-force than others.

Some Secrets of the Qur'an
It is God Who Places Love in People's Hearts
In many verses, God reveals that it is He Who places love and affection in the hearts of people. For example, God has stated in the verse below that it is He Who gathers believers and unites their hearts as brothers:
In other verses, God informs us that it is He Who gives believers tenderness and compassion.
God also states that He will place love between believers and those who are hostile to them. It is evident that God holds control over all hearts – both of believers and all other people.

24 Surprising Notes on the Winter Olympics
Has a baseball team ever meant so much to a city's identity as the Dodgers meant to Brooklyn? Though overly sentimental in parts (if perhaps understandably so), Kahn's part-memoir, part-elegy remains the classic literary monument to "Dem Bums," as well as a moving testimonial to the gaping emotional hole the Dodgers left when they split for Los Angeles.
If Dr. Hunter S. Thompson had been a baseball fan assigned to cover a really lousy team, he might have rattled off something like Seasons in Hell, which immortalizes the deeply mortal 1973-75 Texas Rangers, and provides the definitive eyewitness account of Cleveland's fabulously ill-conceived "Ten Cent Beer Night" promotion.

LAKE WALES, Fla. – The No.18-ranked Saint Leo men's tennis team (2-1) claimed a hard-fought 8-1 victory over Warner University, Sunday afternoon from the Warner Tennis Center.
The Lions faced one setback during their three doubles matches, but recovered nicely in the singles portion as Saint Leo rallied-off six straight wins to claim the overall match.
Despite dropping a match at No.2 doubles, the Lions' No.21-ranked tandem reigned supreme with an 8-3 win over Julian Ramirez and Vito Schepper. Antoine Raffaelli and Jacobo Gonzalez-Tarrio also posted an 8-5 win at No.3 singles.
A feisty Warner squad challenged the Lions for the majority of the morning, but freshman Gonzalez-Tarrio led a Lions' charge which saw them take of the final six singles matches. Gonzalez-Tarrio blasted his opponent, 6-3, 6-0 at No.5 singles, while Jake Fleischer highlighted the day by upended his opponent in straight-sets, 6-1, 6-3.
Head Coach James Bryce states, "We fought hard today. Our guys battled through the early morning match and responded nicely to collect the win."
The Lions will entertain the No.2-ranked Barry Buccaneers in their Sunshine State Conference opener on Saturday, February 11. The match is scheduled to get underway at 11 a.m.

I am going to Rincon PR. Is it a safe trip, is there much crime? Tips and suggestions?
Look it up on other threads man
its little long island bro. more vacationing whites than locals. don't bang any dark skinned girls and be careful of the reef.
it is still the us. you may see some drunk tourists. have a blast.
cant wait... im going in two weeks for my first trip c ya down there!
Yes very safe. The majority of folks in Rincon are transplants from the Northeast. The only thing that's not a safe bet is the surf. Although it can get epic in the winter months, it also suffers from the same flat spells that plague the east coast. Best scenario is to book a trip on the fly when swell is forecasted. Good luck.
Nothing is safe other than ur mothers tits. Piss on the cops **** the locals n trash the beach. Its all u yanks do downhere. Stay home we dont need anymore lost idiots asking about the reef n scared to talk to the locals
Stretch! Good to see you down there over thanksgiving. Hope youre doing well.
Rincon is safe, just be smart like anywhere else in the US or world. lock your car, keep your valuables in a safe place. We were there 12 days and the waves were good enough everyday to surf. Have a blast.
I can't imagine a safer surf trip. Maybe to a wave pool.

MELBOURNE, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Cast as the Cinderella Man of tennis in 2012 after his stunning comeback from almost seven years off the professional circuit, American Brian Baker is beginning to get used to life among the world's best players.
Twelve months ago, Baker was ranked world number 456, still in the early throes of a comeback and playing on the Futures Tour, two rungs below the top flight.
On Monday, the 27-year-old edged out Alex Bogomolov Jr of Russia 7-6 6-3 6-7 3-6 6-2 to win his first ever match at the Australian Open.
Now ranked 59, Baker is getting accustomed to mixing it with the best and said the dream had become a reality.
"I think last year it probably helped me to have that mentality of sure. I'm still competitive, I want to win every match but you kind of think 'I'm really happy to be here'," Baker told reporters.
"I didn't have the expectations and then you kind of just ride, ride and ride that wave and you don't put the pressure on yourself.
"This year, I have to remind myself where I was a year ago, playing a $10,000 Futures, instead of the Australian Open, but I don't have that same 'I'm happy to be here, let's see what happens'. Now it's 'I've done it, let's try to get better'."
Having been the runner-up at the French Open juniors in 2003, Baker was working his way up the senior rankings in 2005 when he first felt an injury in his left hip, which required surgery.
That began a nightmare run of two left hip surgeries, a right hip operation, a sports hernia surgery and right elbow surgery which, with the exception of a couple of matches in 2007, kept him off the tour until 2011 when he decided to give it one last go.
"I guess 12 months ago I wasn't thinking it would be this fast but there's no reason why I shouldn't be in the top 50 going into May," said Baker, whose high point came at Wimbledon last year when he qualified and reached the last 16.
"I really don't have that many things to defend going into May and that's when I started doing all my damage so if I put a couple of decent results together I should be there."
Baker said he would be working with former grand slam runner-up Todd Martin to maintain his progress, but admitted his second year would be tougher than the first.
"People know who you are and coaches are smart out there so they are going to try to figure out ways that they think are the best ways to beat me," he said.
"At the end of last year, guys had better scouting reports and I wasn't catching anybody by surprise.
"But I think clay will be a big part of my season this year. I've played most on hard courts in my life but I think my game matches up well against these guys on clay." (Editing by John O'Brien)

sheh - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - link20% load efficiency at is lower than 85% regardless of input voltage.
strikeback03 - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkIIRC they test by the ATX methodology, not the 80Plus loading, which might account for the difference. Reply
MrOblivious - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkOr it could be the unit to unit variation, the different temperature, or the different load pattern, etc. ;) Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkDefinitely true. The 80Plus loading methodology differs from the standard ATX loading, and that can easily account for the 1-2% difference between what Christoph measured and what CM reports. Reply
MrOblivious - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - link80Plus does list what the requirements for certification on each test report (115v 60hz) and the load steps used to accomplish them. You can see the UCP report here: http://www.80plus.org/manu/psu/psu_reports/SP215_C...">http://www.80plus.org/manu/psu/psu_repo..._MASTER_...
They don't list the temperature there but IIRC it is 25c (will have to check when I get home). Also, 80 Plus Silver is 85-88-85% not 82-85-82% as it seems to be indicated. Reply
tomoyo - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkI was just about to mention this as there's some misinformation on 80plus scattered about in the article. Hopefully you'll clean that up soon. To me it's a pretty big achievement to get 85-88-85 at 25C on 115V on a huge 900w psu like this one. One thing I've noticed is that some of the new low power psu models are showing extremely high low wattage efficiency such as 90-92%. Some of these include the two dell 80plus silver models and some of the new actel ones. 80plus Bronze is much easier to achieve as most 80plus psu's are already near 85% in the middle range. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - link"80Plus Bronze requires at least 82% efficiency at 20% load, 85% efficiency at 50% load, and 82% efficiency at 100% load. 80Plus Silver bumps the requirements up to 85%/88%/85% for the same 20%/50%/100% loads. In short, the Cooler Master 900W UCP had better be able to reach 88% efficiency."
I'm not sure how that's at all confusing. As to the UCP 900W actually achieving Silver in our tests, it does appear to fall just short at the 20% load mark, but only by ~1% (84% efficiency when it's supposed to be 85%). I'm not going to worry overly much on that point, as there's a certain margin of error in testing. Reply
MrOblivious - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - link"Before you get too carried away with the high efficiency, however, we need to rain on your parade a bit. The 80Plus Silver badge means that most users will get at least 82% efficiency, but even 20% load represents a power output of 180W, which for an idle system represents a significant amount of high-end hardware."
Since that is NOT what 80Plus Silver means it could be a bit misleading. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkAh... I see my typo. I put that paragraph in, and apparently hit a 2 instead of 5. Should be 85% there, you're right.... Reply
MrOblivious - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkSorry meant to say seems to be indicated in the article in my last line. Reply
Adamantine - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkThere are four 12v rails, yet you only show regulation on a single rail, not even labeled at that... where are the voltage regulation line graphs for the other 3 rails, if there are in fact 4 rails? Reply
jonnyGURU - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - link+12V rails are rarely independent. Usually "multiple" +12V rails is just a +12V rail split up into four, six, etc. with an over current protection circuit in place for each. If there's any "regulation" difference between one +12V rail and another, it's usually caused by resistance between the +12V source and the end of the connector and NOT actual poor voltage regulation. So the best course of action would actually be to average out the results or combine +12V rails into one.

Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkehm we combined them into one graph, that's why they are so thick ;) The graph shows in which area all of the rails have been regulated. We had shown differently before but with six rails for example you cant see anything anymore... Reply
SilthDraeth - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkI read the review and I saw you nitpick about a few things, but I didn't read about any real problem. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkThe 12V rail problem is that 12V1 (rated at 25A) supplies the power for the 24-pin connector, the 4-pin ATX12V connector, and all the SATA and Molex connectors. Meanwhile, 12V2 *only* powers the EPS12V connector (which quite a few people won't even use!), and 12V3 and 12V4 are dedicated to the PEG connectors.
Basically, there's a lot of stuff coming off of the main 12V rail, and thus it's going to be virtually impossible to come anywhere near the rated output unless you happen to have an EPS12V connector on your motherboard. More important is that with the right combination of hardware (i.e. quad-core overclocked CPU, a high-end GPU, and several HDDs) you could easily overload 12V1. Reply
strikeback03 - Wednesday, July 30, 2008 - linkThe EPS12V is the 8-pin CPU connector, correct? The same one that seems to be far more common these days on the class of motherboards likely to be used with a 900W PSU than the 4-pin connector? Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, July 30, 2008 - linkI don't know that I would call EPS12V "common". It's used on some high-end mobos, but not on others. It was initially more of a workstation/server connector. Some PSUs have a 4/8-pin cable that works with either ATX12V or EPS12V, but it seems Cooler Master decided to go with a dedicated ATX12V and a dedicated EPS12V. It would have made a lot more sense IMO if they had all of the peripherals on the same rail as the EPS12V (and ATX12V for that matter). Reply
Bozo Galora - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkWeren't you going to add ripple and noise tests?
Or do I have the wrong recollection?
These guys say it had 78mv on 12V line

Amart - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkAnandtech are not interested in presenting a complete professional review of PSU's, instead they have stated we should "trust them" on ripple and noise questions.
I think that Anandtech PSU reviews should look at JonnyGuru.com and HardOcp.com and take notes on how to do things right. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - link"We see very little voltage drop on the rails, which is very good. All of the rails are within 2% to 2.5% of regulation, starting slightly higher than the target voltage and dropping slightly below target at higher loads. Ripple on the 12V rails is also exceptionally good, measuring at most 8mV. Lower voltage rails also perform decently, though not quite as good, measuring up to 21mV. The ability of this power supply to deliver the required wattage with little voltage drop even at higher loads leaves us with a good impression."
Posting a graph that shows ripple isn't really any more informative than what we did right there: up to 8mV ripple on the 12V rails and 21mV on the 3.3V and 5V lines. You might want to read the text a bit more closely before firing off complaints. We state in the conclusion that the PSU has very good ripple results, and I guess that's probably as far as you got? The previous several pages of test results are there for a reason. Reply
Amart - Wednesday, July 30, 2008 - linkA graph educates people, and shows that you've performed the necessary readings to construct it. Ripple/Noise is arguably one of the most important graphs to have on a review.
Sure, you had 'something' in this review, which is an improvement over the last few months.
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkWith 78mV no company in the high-end field would have released the product... Reply
mindless1 - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkDo you have any evidence that 78mV of ripple has caused any problems by itself, isolated as the variable? The powered parts themselves cause more than 78mV of ripple local to them, where it might matter if it ever did - this if you had a hypothetically perfect 0mV ripple PSU. Reply
Zak - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkI found CM products to have competitive prices - but I don't shop for high end stuff - and I've always received their rebates. Reply
nycromes - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkI too have only had good experiences with their products and rebates. I have heard that others have experienced problems with rebates, but I don't usually hear many complaints regarding their products.
I guess that some people must get a different experience than others, the question is which one of us had the normal experience and which one of us got lucky. Until I have a bad experience, I am sticking with my Coolermaster products. Reply
Glenn - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkYou forgot to mention the business model coolermaster has relied on. Sell your product that has a worth of about $25 for retail price of $75 and then offer a $65 rebate that will likely not get paid!
Then, when the customer has problems with the product, just make the process to repair or replace so difficult, that only the most persistant buyers will percivere the process to get something done!
Hey, it must be working for them! Reply
JEDIYoda - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkso what does anything you say have to do with this review?
For that matter can you back up what your claiming with links??
Glenn - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkIt has everything to do with any Coolermaster product review! If the company is poor on customer support, then it affects the value equation for prudent buyers. Sorry you don't understand!
Do some reading- Reply
JEDIYoda - Wednesday, July 30, 2008 - linkI do understand very well! It is you that has a axe to grind against the Coolermaster products.
The company support and how they handle problems has nothing at all to do with this review of the product!!
Yoyr bitch is against the compant itself...the 2 are very seperate!!
As usual a very well done review!! Reply
mindless1 - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkIn the past 12 months I've bought 2 Coolermaster PSU and 1 case, all with rebates making close enough to free. They were all an excellent compromise for the price and all rebate checks were received.
Yes you may see lots of people that didn't get a rebate check but remember that when something normally costing about $40-50, not $25, ends up around $0 to $10 after a rebate, you have a very large # of people who take advantage of it so even 100 reports of not getting a rebate check may be a small % of total buyers.
I happen to be typing on a system that has a 600W Coolermaster Extremepower PSU in it, while it isn't very old yet at about 8 months, it has done fine thus far with overclocked CPU, video, 4 hard drives. Granted it's only peaking at roughly 300W consumption but a little common sense is good in this area, one doesn't buy a $50 PSU then expect to get 600W out of it long term. Reply

cparka23 - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkI really appreciate the test articles and the time spent on the testing setup. Thanks for the heads up about the 80plus silver certification/marketing ploy. I now see that this is not the PSU for my application. Reply

Braves roll to fifth straight win with rout of Bucs
Harang pitches into ninth inning; J-Up leads charge with five RBIs
PITTSBURGH -- As the suddenly vibrant and rejuvenated Braves have rolled through their competition over the past few days, it's hard to imagine that this is the same group that appeared lethargic and destined for doom last week.
But with Jason Heyward providing a spark in the leadoff role and Justin Upton in the midst of one of his patented hot streaks, the Braves now find themselves blazing through a impressive stretch that was extended with Tuesday night's 11-3 thrashing of the Pirates at PNC Park.
"It's nice to string together a few nice games and be at ease and have some fun again," said Heyward, who drove in three runs as the Braves notched their first streak of at least five games since July 5 while distancing themselves from their recent miseries.
When the Braves lost for the 12th time in a span of 15 games on Thursday, it was impossible to ignore the negative energy that was floating around the clubhouse. But five days and five wins later, they are back to the jovial bunch that had no problem having some fun at the expense of Chris Johnson, who went hitless in five at-bats and stood as the only member of the starting lineup who did not record a hit on Tuesday.
"Not throwing CJ under the bus, but [Gerald] Laird was saying somebody had to keep the game going," Heyward said with a smile.
Though they have not made up any ground on the red-hot Nationals, who have won eight straight games, the Braves have kept themselves in the thick of the postseason chase. The Braves are now tied with the Giants for the second National League Wild Card spot after San Francisco was topped by Chicago, 2-0, in a rain-shortened game at Wrigley Field on Tuesday.
As they were on their way to tallying seven runs in back-to-back games for just the second time this year, the Braves benefited from a number of offensive contributors -- including Aaron Harang, who finished two outs short of a complete game and also generated the game's first run with what was his fourth hit of the season and first RBI since 2012.
"As we profiled them, they've got guys capable of doing damage," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "It's been a quick-strike offense. They've gone on stretches where they hit good pitching. But like any team, they can be pitched to. We haven't located the ball where have needed to, on numerous occasions."
Harang's two-out single in the second inning sparked the uprising. But most of the production was fueled by the red-hot bat of Upton, who highlighted his season-best, five-RBI performance with a three-run third-inning home run off Francisco Liriano. Upton's broken-bat single also accounted for a pair of runs during the five-run fifth that chased Liriano, who had not allowed more than three runs in any of his 10 most recent starts.
"We were positive throughout our struggles," Upton said. "We know how crazy the game of baseball is. Baseball can drive you nuts, and you can have some great times too. We've just got to continue to try to stay positive and try to ride it out."
Upton is batting .313 with six home runs and a 1.082 OPS in his past 19 games, a surge that's reminiscent of the ones he's produced in the past when he has essentially put the Braves on his back. The often underappreciated outfielder stands with Alex Rodriguez, Adrian Beltre, Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera as the only active players who have notched 1,000 hits and 500 RBIs before their 27th birthday.
"He gets hot and he can carry us," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He can do that for a few months. It's nice to have that big bat right behind Freddie Freeman, who is starting to roll the pole a little bit."
Given a four-run lead by the time he took the mound for the third inning, Harang did not experience much stress during his 114-pitch effort, which ended with three consecutive one-out hits that led to a run in the ninth. His efficient outing allowed the Braves to limit their bullpen work to the seven pitches thrown by David Hale.
When the Braves were still struggling last week, Harang said the club was capable of doing what he and his 2002 A's teammates did when they broke off a 20-game winning streak and went from 4 1/2 games back on Aug. 12 to 3 1/2 games ahead on Sept. 4.
"Everybody is swinging well," Harang said. "We're taking advantage of any kind of miscues. The guys are up there being aggressive and hitting the ball hard. We just got to look at it one game at a time."

12 Days of Healthy Holiday Gifts: Ina's Homemade Marshmallowsby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Holidays, December 4, 2010
We're serving up fresh healthy gift ideas every day from now until December 12. Catch up on the previous gifts here.
If you're a fan of fluffy marshmallows, try making your own — you'll never want the bagged ones again! Ina Garten likes to top them with crunchy pieces of toasted coconut. We've got a few more ideas to transform this childhood favorite into an amazing holiday treats.
Ina Garten's Homemade Marshmallows
This recipe makes a large batch of marshmallows – cut into 40 pieces and they have less than 60 calories each.
3 packages unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Combine the gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and allow to sit while you make the syrup.
Meanwhile, combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Raise the heat to high and cook until the syrup reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the sugar syrup into the dissolved gelatin. Put the mixer on high speed and whip until the mixture is very thick, about 15 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix thoroughly.
Pour the marshmallow batter in an 8 by 12-inch nonmetal pan and smooth the top of the mixture with damp hands. Allow to dry uncovered at room temperature overnight.
Remove the marshmallows from the pan and cut into squares. Roll each piece carefully in confectioners' sugar. Store uncovered at room temperature.
These confections make a lovely gift all by themselves tucked into small bags. To jazz things up, sprinkle with toasted coconut like Ina or pack them up with these other goodies
- Hot cocoa mix and mugs for a cozy bedtime snack
- Make a s'mores kit with dark chocolate and graham crackers
- Peanut butter and whole grain bread for a more sophisticated version of peanut butter and fluff sandwiches

I am attempting to enable a drop down list when an item is selected in another drop down list.
Here is my code:
Protected Sub ddlDepartment_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ddlDepartment.SelectedIndexChanged ddlDivision.Enabled = True
End Sub
But it does not enable the other drop down list. What do I need to do?
Chris S.
That's not html or css code
It's VB.NET.
When you select a value in the first drop down, is the page performing a postback or just sitting there? If it isn't performing a postback, that is why, you haven't registered the event you defined with the control yet, and that needs to happen.
The page does not flicker and I don't have the control in an update panel, so I have to say that it does not do a postback. What do I need to do to force it too?
Within the aspx file there are two properties you can set. AutoPostBack (needs to be true), and OnSelectedIndexChanged (needs to have ddlDepartment_SelectedIndexChanged)
When I click on the drop down, it works, but when I select the first drop down list box, it always go back to the first item in the list no matter what I select.
I'm not following, can you provide a few screenshots?
I uploaded a video on YouTube. There is no sound but you can see that when I click on the item in the drop down no matter what it is, the first item is displayed.Here is the link: http://youtu.be/gIbbCdZJZVM
hmmm... That's weird. Also, it still doesn't seem to be performing a post back (at least in the video it didn't post back...)
See the attached example (very simplified), I provided it in both C# and VB.
cpradio, your original solution worked. The reason that the same value displayed was because I selected the wrong field in my database. That field only had three unique records. So it would select the first from a series of records. After referencing the right field, everything works as well as the postback. Thanks for the help.
Glad to hear it.

- Code: Select all
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
def cb(n):
print "cb invoked using:"
print n
# Make closures
for i in xrange(0,3):
farr[i]=lambda: cb(i)
My intent is to store into the array farr 3 anonymous functions. Each should call my function cb, but with parameters 0, 1 or 2 respectively. In particular, I expected farr[0] to have stored a function lambda: cb(i) with i bound to zero. However, farr[0]() outputs 2, not 0.
Well, I thought, maybe i is passed by reference, and hence all three anonymous functions access the same copy of i, and I therefore get the last value for i. But how can I then bind the three functions to different parameters?

Perennials is a term that describes what many gardeners and homeowners strive for, which is a plant that comes back every spring. There are perennial plants that can meet just about every need a landscape has. Perennials range from low growing plants to tall growing plants, from those that produce colorful flowers to those that provide visual pleasure with glowing seed heads, such as those exhibited by some ornamental grasses. Perennial gardens need to be planted only once. The perennial garden can contain plants that flower, plants with colorful leaves and foliage, and low growing ground covers for that especially shady spot.
Perennials tend to die back to the ground each winter. Perennial plants generally have fewer major problems than annuals and are sustainable with lower care and maintenance needs. Blooming perennials tend to average about 3 weeks of bloom time so choosing plants with attractive structure and foliage and flowers will enhance your landscape for years to come. We offer an extensive list of perennials for various needs below.
Beware of Bare Root, Bulbs and Tiny Liners!
Tiny size bareroot perennials are easily damaged, need to be protected more from over & under watering and take a lot longer to bring you beautiful results. The shocking truth is that you are likely to get a plastic bag with a few roots & peat moss.
For best results, you should choose perennials in larger containers. Our 4.5 or 5.5 inch pot as well as 1 & 2 gallon container size perennials have larger root systems.
Nature Hills offers a wide variety of rare perennials in large sizes, meeting just about every need a landscape has. Stop waiting seasons to enjoy beautiful results. Buy larger size perennials online from Nature Hills Nursery & you simply plant it and enjoy it.

A thriving village football club in Redruth is about to get the expansion its ever-increasing popularity deserves after receiving thousands of pounds to help update its facilities.
Illogan Junior Football Club were the lucky recipients of £3,000 courtesy of the Lloyds Bank Community Fund after coming out on top against other community organisations in a public vote.
Around 180 children make up the club's youth section – a number that has quadrupled in the last four years – and with such added interest replacing the old equipment is high on the agenda.
And Darren Kinsman, vice chairman of the club and manager of various junior sides, insists the money will also help their cause to acquire their own playing fields instead of having to rent them.
"The club plays an important part in our local community and for the amount of money we have received it will make a big difference," he said.
"We have 180 young kids but also senior sides with three men's teams and two women's teams on top of that so it is actually quite a big organisation.
"We are closely linked to the parish council and the local schools in Illogan and we are actually a British Legion club with the men's side having been in existence for a long while.
"Just three or four years ago there were only around 45 kids at the club so you can see how it has massively expanded and hence why we need to update our facilities to cope.
"Our biggest cost at the moment is that we currently rent the field where we play but we are in the middle of trying to sort a deal to take over the local park and rugby fields.
"That will give us more pitches to play on and more facilities to use which will be handy at this time of year because our pitches are getting quite worn.
"We are planning to also spend some money on building some dugouts for the kids to go in and improvements to the ground to make sure it is keeping up with our expanding number of kids.
"We are also using the senior club's changing rooms but ideally we need some of our own too."
Now in its second year, the Lloyds Bank Community Fund gave grants to more than 1,332 local good causes in 333 communities throughout England and Wales.
Four good causes were nominated by staff in each community with more than 2.3million votes cast in branches, online and by text message at the end of 2013.
And after Illogan J.F.C came out on top along with the Ronnie Richards Memorial Charity, Kinsman admits their relationship with the British Legion may have had some part to play.
"As a British Legion club we do a lot in the community with poppy appeals and marches and because we have involved the kids in those I think people appreciated it," he added.
"We also now have a link with Illogan Primary School with a coach that goes in to run sessions for free so it is great to see people taking notice."
Lloyds Bank has provided funding to 1,332 community groups in England & Wales through its Community Fund in 2013.

Republican Revolution - Feedback
Thanks to all for testing.
To clarify - This mission is meant to last longer. The intention is more for the UN to attempt to fight their way through before moving the king up, otherwise the mission can be over before many people have even fired a bullet.
Things that I'm going to change -
Hunt around for the script that lets Fireteam leaders teleport to a location, or move OpFor closer.
Find a better solution for the ugly AGS men in the desert.
Make the mission area clearer using the markers
Replace the SUV for something a bit slower and easier to disable. Maybe. Undecided on that one.
Drop the UN AI count at the airfield. I accidentally added about 5x too much.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Edit: Rejoice! Great progress has been made! Screenshot

I think the markers would make a massive difference to understanding what is going on.
A higher player count might have helped with the testing tbh, it turned into a chase that Opfor wasn't going to win quite quickly.
