Caribe 87 SF — By Richard Thiel — December 2001
Owner's Choice
|Part 2: Queenship Caribe 87 SF continued
For Daryl, the high point is the cockpit, which is not only large but a bit iconoclastic as serious angling platforms go. The swim platform--usually a no-no--is in deference to the Pennington passion for diving, although at 21⁄2 feet deep it is something of a compromise. (Another reason Daryl specified it was that it provides safe stowage for the tender's outboard fuel.) And the transom well holds not bait but beverages, giving you some idea of the couple's concept of boating: serious fun. Further reflecting their attitude are powerful underwater lights that enhance nighttime excursions and, forward of the Murray Brothers chair and flanking the Freeman watertight door that leads to the lazarette and engine room, a large port-side bait-prep center and starboard barbecue. The baits have not been forgotten, though. There's a large livewell in the cockpit sole, along with a large fishbox and, next to it, another well for shaved ice.
Up a few steps is the lanai deck, the ideal spot to watch the lucky angler working a fish. Here are a semicircular table and four chairs, and in the forward starboard corner a cushioned seat hides the dive compressor. It's plumbed to the lazarette, where four scuba outfits are stowed. The box in the port corner is another Daryl touch: It holds all safety equipment, including PFDs and a second life raft, in case conditions preclude reaching the primary foredeck unit. There are motion sensors here and elsewhere to warn of an intruder, a CCTV camera to identify him or just watch lines (other cameras are in the engine room and bridge deck), and one of four control stations, all with a view of the cockpit. The others are in the enclosed bridge, on the flying bridge above it, and on the aft observation deck abaft it. Although the lanai is not enclosed, it is air conditioned and heated.
Daryl may be an obsessive angler, but he's also passionate about safety. Redundancy is a recurring theme on Mary P, which has two 96-mile Furuno radars--an X-band and an S-band--and two independent Northstar DGPSs. There are three bilge pump systems: 11 standard bilge pumps, an A.C. auxiliary that can pull from any of the four watertight compartments, and a crash pump driven off the starboard engine. In an emergency they can be combined to pull 1,000 gallons a minute from any compartment. Both the power steering and Naiad stabilizers can run off either engine, and the navigation electronics have their own independent power supply.
Daryl also designed the enclosed bridge helm to replicate that of his Hatteras, and the result is a clean, uncluttered workspace. It's dominated by the radar screen and an Ocean PC monitor that can display chartplotter or sonar output. When he's not in the crow's nest, Daryl prefers to pilot the 87 from here, sitting in the Stidd helm seat and using the Robertson autopilot's joystick mounted on the right-hand armrest--that is, until he deploys the 44-foot Rupp `riggers. Then he steps aft to the observation deck for an even better view of the cockpit and fingertip control of the two electric teaser reels.
A circular stair leads from the enclosed bridge to the saloon and main deck, where Mary's input is again in evidence. Working with Judy Bell-Davis, she selected a range of tans and browns that give Mary P the ambiance of a family room--a very nice family room. The combination of anigre and alder, mappa burl, and walnut and brass trim is tasteful and subdued, but to add a little zip, the couple specified a fiber optic lighting system in the saloon/galley/dinette. Scores of overhead lights are controlled by a bank of switches that vary intensity and color--yellow, blue, white, or red--via hidden projectors. Dan Fritz, Queenship's president, told me it took them four days to figure out how to use the system.
Daryl's input is reflected in two other features. The Headhunter Royal Fox II sewage treatment system, which serves the four en suite heads, is so effective, effluent can be legally pumped directly overboard. The Atlas power management system does just what the name implies: manages all of the yacht's electrical needs. Not only does it ensure a constant supply of 60-Hz power regardless of what's available dockside, but it automatically brings the two 32-kW Northern Lights gensets on line as needed and keeps their engines properly loaded at all times.
Daryl and Mary will eventually take Mary P around the world, so they were adamant about having a bluewater hull under them. Available in lengths ranging from 82 to 96 feet, the Caribe's is the product of a U.S. Navy patrol boat development program, and while it runs rather flat, aerial photographs indicate an unusually smooth bow wave, a sign of efficiency. Queenship says that when Mary P, which is hull number two following the 86-foot Oregon Mist, is fitted with new five-blade Teignbridge props, she should top out at 311⁄2 knots and cruise at 25 knots. Daryl says he and Mary are happy with that and how the yacht performed on her shakedown cruise to Alaska. In fact, he says he's so happy he may just sell that Hatteras. Maybe.

Nice kitchen island for the price
This kitchen island looks very nice. I followed the instruction and it took me about an hour to assemble it by hand (no power tool). It is study. Just that the metal rod of one of the door hinges keeps falling off. I used some pipe tape to wrap the rod and the problem solved. I also upgraded the draw and door knobs to stainless steel knobs (it was wood from the package) that left over from my kitchen cabinets. It does make a big different for the look. I love this kitchen island; however, I give only 4 stars because the measurement is slightly off that the door is not completely aligned and leaving a small gap between the drawer and the door.Read More
Great looking product and easy assembly.
Great looking, easy assemble, great price. This product looks great, very solid and assembly had nice instructions to follow. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for an island that is not too big. I purchase this product for my new apartment that had a pretty large kitchen but not enough counter space to put my microwave on, this product did the job.Read More

New Vision by Lane Kitchen Essentials Kitchen Isla
This kitchen island is made of wood composites and veneer. While this type of manufacturing is a good way to keep prices down, this product misses on quality because of a very thin veneer. The product is easy enough to put together. When removing the stickers off of the components(they are there to show panel orientation), it removed part of the thin veneer. We called Lane and they supplied us with the replacement parts, but they were in a damaged condition right out of the box. The veneer on the new pieces that were replaced were marred from the factory. I do want to thank Overstock for allowing us to return it for refund. It shows their commitment to customer satisfaction. We have purchased other product from Overstock and have always been satisfied with the quality.Read More
No complaints!!
This little cart works perfectly in our small kitchen. It is sturdy and looks very nice. It took me about 90 minutes to put together. The instructions were great and all pieces/parts were there. We have a large microwave and it fits perfectly on top. For the $, this is a great piece of furniture!Read More
Still Love it One Year Later
This product was easy to assemble (did it myself, I think). I've had it for about a year now and it still looks great. I had some trouble finding an island without wheels - we bought it to give us a little more space in our tiny New York kitchen. Our average-sized microwave fits perfectly with plenty of room to spare. Since we have it set up in a corner, it would be nice if the shelves had a back panel to prevent things from falling off the back, but it's not a serious issue.Read More
Ok... it takes time to assemble... but BOY was it worth it! I have gotten SO many compliments on it. Everyone wants to know where I got it! I have a new home, very contemporary and bright. This piece was PERFECT with a farmhouse white dining room table. I was worried the wood would NOT match, but the picture here didnt seem too dark. It actually is "lighter" than it shows. This was PERFECT match for me! I STRONGLY suggest you getting this for a side piece. Adds a great look to a dining room!Read More

Hello swillet08, This is finished on all 4 sides. Have a great day!
"What are the dimensions inside the cabinet area?"
We apologize, but the manufacturer only gave the dimensions of the entire unit. Unfortunately, none of the cabinet dimensions are available and the unit is not currently in stock to check.

Dearest Julia,
My heart breaks for you and your family. I am hoping that Susan will be kept comfortable and calm. Wish I could be there with you, just know that lots of strength, support, love, thoughts and prayers are coming your way.
Love & Hugs,
Dear friend,
I wish I could be there to help and support you in person,it has been so difficult in this last while...thinking of you all Janet
Thank you, Janet, Darla and my whole CC Family.
I've just had 2 calls from the Hospice within 45 minutes of each other. The first was to say "Susan has taken a turn for the worse" and the second to say "Susan has just passed away. She wasn't in any pain".
Those of you, my wonderful Family, who know me on Facebook, please do not mention it there yet. I have many people to tell first.
Thank you for everything you have done for me and for my family since the day I bounced off the walls of Susan's tentative diagnosis onto this amazing site. We've been through so much together, you and I. At the moment I am perfectly calm and am just grateful that she is no longer in pain and is finally free of the devastating distress of being unable to communicate, as her cognitive functions deteriorated. The pain will hit me later. For the moment I will simply let her soul soar free, unfettered by the grief of those she's left behind.
Goodnight, sweet sister.
I love you.
Bless you, dear sweet Julia. May Susan rest in peace in heaven. I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express my sorrow for you.
Love, -Pam
Thank you, Pam. We're going to beat this cancer. It's messed with the wrong bunch of people and broken too many hearts.
My love to you, Lauren and everyone fighting this disease in whatever capacity.
Julia xx
Dear, Dear Julia,
Something made me come back here tonight only to find your post. I am truely sorry for your loss, but your words are so true. Atleast she is no longer suffering and is now free. There is some comfort to be had in that.
I know exactly how you are feeling right now, but as the reality of it all finally sinks in know that we are still all here for you.
May Susan now rest in peace. All my love to you, your mom and all of those who love and cared for Susan.
Wish I could give you a big hug and lots of support, but will be sending it to you in my thoughts.
With Loads of Love & Hugs,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sorry you lost your dear sweet sister.
Dear Julia,
I am so sorry about your loss. Your updates in the last few days have been absolutely heartbreaking. Susan is definitely in a better place now, free of pain and distress. May she rest in peace.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
Mty Dearest Julia, the Journey is over and Susan is at Peace. Truly, in time, you will be able to remember all the good times you SIsters had and that will outweigh all the rest. My heart is with you.
Letter from Heaven by Ruth Ann Mahaffey
To my dearest family some things I'd like to say
But first of all to let you know that I arrived okay,
I'm writing this from Heaven. Here I shall dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I'm out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said "I welcome you,
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone,
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you . . in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
One thing is for certain though my life on earth is o'er
I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
Together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind
And when it's time for you to go . . from that body to be free
Remember you're not going . . you're just coming here to me.
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful - thank you xxx
Oh Julia, I am heartbroken for you. And yet I know too that a peaceful death is so vitally important and it sounds like Sue had just that. I hate this cancer so much I want to see it in its physical form and beat the crap out of it.
I just wanted to briefly comment Julia on what you said in an earlier post a few days ago about "Sue's demons". Rest assured Julia that the discomfort and restlessness that occurs shortly before a passing is very normal and it's not so much distress or demons, it's a transition from this world to the next. It's possible that Sue wasn't even consciously yearning to go home, she was merely transitioning from one state to another. A few days before Diarmuid passed away, he couldn't get comfortable and was up and down and sighing and moving around. The doctor said to me "it's not physical, it's not emotional and it's not even psychological". She believed it was the first step in his soul's journey to a better place. I only mention this so you won't think that Sue was too distressed.
Love and hugs for you Julia. May Sue rest in peace.
"The dead are now in a place where there is no more shadow, darkness, loneliness, isolation, or pain. They are home."
― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
Dear Julia,
I am so very very sorry indeed to hear of Susan's passing. She fought such a brave and tough fight with you beside her and supporting her all the way. Now she is suffering no more and her pain has gone, may you rest in peace Susan. We are all here for you dear Julia and my thoughts are with you and Nannette right now.
Much Love and Hugs to you,
My dear Julia
I have been checking FB for updates and have only just come on to the CCF forum and seen from your post the news about Susan.
My heart truly aches for you and for everyone that loves Susan. Everyone here has such wise, kind, and supportive words and I don't think I have any that would adequately match them ... I wish I had, just some special words that would make some sense of all this.
I have in my mind your picture of Susan on her birthday - she looked so beautiful that day, such a little while ago. Susan's 'journey' is now over, the pain, distress and struggle is now gone - but love is not.
Through everything, you have shown Susan so much loving kindness. And love never dies ... it forms an unbreakable bond, and you will always have that between you ...
Thinking of you
Helen xx
Julia - I have messaged you via fb, but please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of Susan. Heaven has gained a truly beautiful Angel xxx
The Next Room
Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped
away into the next room. I am I, and you are you.
What ever we were to each other, that
we still are. Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you
always used. Put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
we enjoyed together. Pray, smile, think of me,
pray for me. Let my name be the household word
that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means
all that it ever meant, It is the same as it ever was;
there is unbroken continuity, Why should I be
out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere
very near, just round the corner. All is well.
For I have gone to a city where the roses never fade.
All my love and hugs, to you and your family.

Naftali Cohn studies the texts and culture of Jews in Classical to Late Antiquity, focusing especially on the group known as the rabbis, who produced texts that became canonical and foundational for subsequent Jewish literature and practice. His research centers on the late-second or early-third century law collection known as the Mishnah, which he reads using the critical lenses of ritual theory, narratology, memory/historiography, feminist theory, and poststructuralist critical theory in general.

Headteachers across the county have been reacting to the results of the Wiltshire secondary school league tables that were released this morning.
Head of Kingdown School in Warminster, Sara Edwards, said: "Our results are the best we have ever had. Our levels of progress in English and maths are stunning.
"The results are a reflection on the sheer hard work of the staff and students and support from the parents.
"What we have to do is keep going and keep striving to be the best we can be. We want to inspire every child to work to their full potential and achieve their full potential."
Fergus Stewart, head of St Laurence School in Bradford on Avon, said: "We are pleased with the attainment of our students in 2013, with a four per cent improvement in the proportion achieving at least five good GCSE grades.
"Although there has been a significant improvement in the proportion making expected progress in English, one of our key targets is to ensure that all students make even more progress from 11-16 across the range of subjects.
"Our A -evel results show high attainment and progress, with a particularly pleasing increase in the proportion of high grades. This coincides with growing sixth form numbers, as students increasingly see St Laurence as their institution of choice for post-16 study.
"At St Laurence we strive to ensure that each student achieves the best possible qualifications as well as placing great value on developing the whole person."
Mark Stenton, head of Clarendon Academy, said: "We take a long term and highly ambitious view of the academy's development. 2012-13 was a momentous year for Clarendon in which we received an excellent OFSTED report, became an Education Fellowship Academy and obtained Gold Standard for Investors In People.
"We have a relentless drive for excellence at the academy and everything possible is done to maximise attainment and student progress for children of all abilities and backgrounds, both in the immediate and long term."
Simon Riding became head of Matravers School in Westbury in September. He said: "As a new head coming into post I am very pleased with the consolidation of the recent improvements in both GCSE and A-level and the consistence of the improvements.
"It is clear that the school has already begun to move towards preparing students to be successful in the future. We focus strongly on GCSE and A-level success alongside our vocational provision and both of these are crucial measures."
"In terms of moving forward, we all know the performance tables are significantly shifting in the years ahead. With our current year 11 and 13 students we are expecting significant further progress because of the continued improvements that are taking place currently across the school."
Andy Packer, John of Gaunt headteacher, said: "From our point of view, to be in and around that cluster of schools getting 60 per cent of five or more A* to C GCSESs including English and maths is very pleasing.
"In addition, we are also very pleased that all our students that attend Wiltshire College all got their qualifications too.
"Our current Year 11s are very determined and we are on course to achieve 60 per cent of our pupils achieving at least five GCSEs A* to C, including English and maths, this year. I'd like to thank our pupils, parents and staff for all their hard work."
Head of St Augustine's in Trowbridge, Joe Alsop, said: "It was no surprise that the examination results were so strong because the students displayed a mature work ethic for the duration of their studies and therefore thoroughly deserved to do so well.
"At a time when we saw a national dip in results it was pleasing that 84% of our GCSE students secured 5A*-C including English and Maths which represented a three year rising trend in results and 83% of our A-level students gained A*-C grades.
"These wonderful results will keep us amongst the highest performing schools in the country and show that the vast majority of our students make expected or better than expected progress and are ready to take their place in the world of work and further study."
Stephen Clark, headteacher at Melksham Oak, said: "Our overall results in the summer were again our best ever and we are absolutely delighted that the progress of Melksham Oak students is now well above the national average in the crucial areas of English and Maths.
"This is down to their persistence and commitment, the support of their parents and the dedication of our staff, and is part of our continued journey towards becoming a great school for the community."
A copy of the league table can be found in tomorrow's edition of the Wiltshire Times.

Five days, 25 teams: Part 2
Published: Thursday, July 4, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 3:22 p.m.
This is the second in a five-part series with an eye on the 2013 college football season. Sun sports columnist Pat Dooley has picked his preseason Top 25 and will reveal five a day. Today, Nos. 16-20.
No. 20: Notre Dame
The good news: Even with Manti Te'o gone to the NFL, the Irish should be one of the nation's best defensive teams again this year.
The bad news: The offense doesn't figure to be a lot better and you wonder if the breaks the Irish caught last year might not happen this year. Already, the loss of quarterback Everett Golson to academics is a blow.
No. 19: Michigan State
The good news: This was a team that was so close to being really good a year ago, losing five games by a total of 13 points. And the defense should be salty again this season.
The bad news: The Spartans finished 114th in pass efficiency last year and lack the playmakers needed to win big games.
No. 18: Northwestern
The good news: Pat Fitzgerald knows what he is doing and his offense is difficult to prepare for, especially with the dual-quarterback system.
The bad news: The offensive line lost three starters and that could put a lot of pressure on both of the quarterbacks.
No. 17: Michigan
The good news: Quarterback Devin Gardner can make big-time plays.
The bad news: The Wolverines' schedule is seriously back-loaded. They finish with a stretch of three road games in four weeks and then play host to Ohio State.
No. 16: Oklahoma State
The good news: The Cowboys return plenty of talent with 15 starters coming back for 2013.
The bad news: Two new coordinators can inject some life into a team, but they can also take a year to get their feet wet.

|Cruising Computers
The latest PCs and programs are saltier than ever.
By Brad Dunn — December 2000
Though it took a while for computers to get their sea legs, the newest marinized hardware and software are more than rugged enough for punishing saltwater climes. In fact, the latest marvels of technology lead a new era of easier, safer boating.
The past few months have seen enormous advancements in the marinized PC industry, from waterproof computers to single software packages that can replace all the instruments and gauges at your helm. Moreover, boaters of all kinds are embracing the idea of computer-aided helms and multifunctional software programs, as rising sales continue to spawn more options from major manufacturers.
The Internet has also made waves by finally giving recreational boaters valuable weather and navigational information, instead of endless streams of online product catalogs.
To help you keep your mind off the winter months that still separate you from that first springtime cruise, we've reviewed the latest PC and software technology that not only could ultimately supplant your current helm, but also might make worthy additions to your holiday wish list.

Who Said It?Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
Below, are excerpts from four speeches of four different great Americans. The speeches are famous, but the excerpt is not the most famous part of the speech. See if you can guess who is the speaker from what is given.
1. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
2. Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
3. And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
4. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished.
HintAll speeches are from at least 40 years ago, but all four speeches and men are famous in American history.
Answer1. Abraham Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863
2. Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Address to Congress, Dec. 8, 1941 (Day after Pearl Harbor)
3. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s, I Have a Dream speech, August 28,1963
4. Gen. Douglas MacArthur's "Old Soldiers Never Die" address to Congress, 19 April 1951.

Now that earnings are out of the way, let's take another look at lululemon athletica (LULU). Recently this stock violated some of the higher support I was watching on the daily chart, but the idea behind looking at the buy side is still intact here, so let's take a fresh look at it.
First, the original setup in this stock was at the $64.92-$65.58 area. This zone included a 100% projection and a 0.50% retracement, along with a 1.272 extension of a prior swing. The actual low was made at the $65.09 level on Nov. 15.
Now this price-cluster low was followed by taking out some prior swing highs. This always tells me to watch the next pullback, since that is an indication of a more important trend reversal back to the upside. After the earnings report, I was able to find one more zone that could act as support above the Nov. 15 low. Since I did not run it until later in the session, I was not able to use it as a day-trade zone, but it still provides us with some information about the stock.
A new zone ($66.44-93) was constructed by using the 100% projection of the Nov. 2 high to the Nov. 15 low (a $7.26 decline) from the Nov. 28 high (illustrated by red lines on the chart. Then I ran a .786 retracement of the Nov. 15 low to the Nov. 28 high (illustrated by the blue lines). Last but not least, this was also overlapped by the 1.618 extension of Point 1 to Point 2 on the chart (illustrated by the green lines). A powerful reversal (sadly, one that I missed) was seen after testing and holding above this key zone.
This tells me as long as price holds above this new low, I want to look at buying a pullback to it, with the maximum risk defined below the Nov. 15 low. My bigger-picture upside target comes in at the $82.74 area, which is the 1.272 extension calculated from the last major high into the Nov. 15 low. If the Nov. 15 low is taken out, then I am wrong.
If you want to fine-tune an entry on a pullback, look for anywhere from 0.50% to 0.786 back to the last low and then wait for a five-minute trigger as described in my prior article on trades and triggers.

During the 14th of May, 1864, the lines were formed, General McPherson slowly pressing forward with the Army of the Tennessee on the right until within easy shelling range of Resaca and the bridges over the Oostanaula. In the town scarcely a single house remained unmarked by shot or shell. The bridges, being more difficult to hit, were not seriously injured by our shell-fire. Generals Palmer and Schofield were slowly but surely gaining ground in the center.
On the afternoon of the the same day General Hooker was ordered to the left with the Twentieth Corps, and effected a junction with the left of General Howard's Corps (the Fourth) just in time to meet and repel an attack then being made by the rebels with a view of enveloping the left flank. On the morning of the 15th General Hooker moved forward until in front of a strong position fortified, and held by Claiburne's division. The sight of "red dirt" was to the troops indicative of hard fighting. Dispositions were hastily made. General Butterfield's division was ordered forward to carry the works by assault. The undergrowth about the rebel lines so concealed them as to render a careful reconnoissance impossible—the troops moved rapidly up the slope and succeeded in entering the works, when, to their surprise, they received a galling fire from strong rifle-pits still in their front. This drove them to the coveted exterior slope of the captured work, which now proved to be a strong salient or redoubt thrown out in advance of the main line. General Ward, of Kentucky, led his brigade into the work, and vainly endeavored to get his men forward for the purpose of attacking the main line. It is said that the General mounted the parapet of the redoubt just captured and made a few complimentary remarks to his command, closing with the announcement that any soldier desiring to die for his country would now have the opportunity. The extreme bravery of the action so astounded the rebels that they refrained from firing on the gallant General, who, already severely wounded, was forced to rejoin his command in front of the captured line. Four light twelves that were in the work were held by our men though they were not able to carry them off.
The following letter, captured soon after the battle of Resaca, gives a very capital version of the assault:
"Resaca, May 15, 1864.
"My Dear Wife—John Tomson is going home to Cassville, wounded, and I thought I would drop you a line by him. The Yankees charged my battery this afternoon and captured two sections of it, and many of the men in attendance were wounded. It was as daring an exploit as when my brother's battery was charged upon at Antietam, Maryland, by a New York regiment. They threw themselves into the fort (in his words) as unconscious of danger as so many ducks in a pond. Tell Joe and Will to stow away everything of value, fearing that we should have to fall back from here. If we do, the Yankees will get everything within their reach.
"Hooker's command we had to fight here, or else the battery would never have been taken. I hear we are gaining on Yankees in Virginia, and we would here, and whip them, we not for Hooker's command—they all wear a star. Don't answer this. If we hold our ground here I will see you ere long. I want you to send Sis. and James to grandpa's for a week, and you go to Uncle John's. Take all the things that you can. I close, as the bearer is about leaving.
"Your husband until death,
"P. S. Our position here was very good, but we have to fall back. Keep up good courage. I hope

About the Book
Be welcome in the lonesome, but fascinating world of "Urban Exploration".
Urban Exploration creates an exposure of the past glory. Documenting their normally unwanted and off-limits parts of our civilization.
Here are rust and corrosion creating beautiful colors. And is the pale paint peeling away from the crumbled walls. Inside the characteristic working places are disused machinery and ancient tools covered with a thick layer of dust. All left behind like it was the last day of activity, untouched! Working clothes and personal stuff are still hanging in the changing rooms. Office documents and original blue prints are spread widely around the offices. A large variety of rusty classic cars where left abandoned into the dense bushes. This well preserved and hidden graveyard is piecefully left to decay. Rust in piece! Shimmery lights conditions are giving an almost religious atmosphere to a chapel. The chapel and castle are slowly transforming into ruins. Here are the overwhelming forces of nature reclaiming back the creations of mankind...
The explored locations: Chateau Noisy/Miranda, Carcoke Tertre, Chatillon car graveyard, Traction Sud, CSM Sugar City, Safea, Castle of Mesen and some artwork.
Hope you enjoy the book as i did with my explorations and creating this book! For more information and contact visit my website, which contains lots of other abandoned locations and content. Don't hesitate!

MANAGER Tom Killick reckons Poole Town can profit from Michael Walker's desire to "prove a point" following his nightmare year at Weymouth.
As exclusively revealed by the Daily Echo via Twitter, Dolphins today swooped for their Southern South & West title-winning captain on non-contract terms less than 12 months after Walker switched allegiances to his hometown club.
Having signed a two-year deal with the Terras, he was beset by injury problems during pre-season and, along with brother Nathan Walker, was transfer listed in December following a dispute with the club's board.
The towering defender was then consigned to the sidelines for much of the second half of the campaign before cutting short his stint at the Bob Lucas Stadium by mutual consent five days ago.
That ill-fated stint saw Walker's credentials questioned in certain quarters but Killick was quick to back his returning talisman's talents.
The Tatnam boss told the Daily Echo: "When I spoke to Michael, it struck me that he had been stung by the criticism and how things had panned out for him at Weymouth. He seems quite angry about it all and determined to put it right.
"I think he wants to prove a point because he knows he can be a very good performer in our league if we get him properly fit, which we intend to do.
"You have to look at the circumstances surrounding his time over there, particularly the injury which made him miss pre-season. He made an early comeback and never had the chance to get as fit as he should have been."
And despite being spoiled for choice in the defensive third, Killick insisted Walker had not been brought back to make up the numbers.
"In the same way he was before, he can be a very important character for us and we will benefit from his drive and determination," he added. "You can never have too many players in that mould.
"He's left footed and from that point view he fits well with Jamie Whisken. We've got Mark Jermyn and Sam Clarke as well, so we will work it all out in pre-season.
"I have certain ideas in my head but I'm certainly not bringing back Michael to be on the periphery of things."
Meanwhile, Killick reported no progress on his search for strikers after missing out on Winchester-bound Warren Bentley, with the future of ex-Cherries youngster Jordan Chiedozie still uncertain.
"Jordan knows I want to sign him but he needs to decide exactly what he wants to do. He's keeping his options open for now," said Killick.

AS GLOUCESTERSHIRE cricket mourns David Allen, part of his legacy can already be seen in the county squad with the emergence of young off-spinner Tom Shrewsbury, writes Rob Iles.
Former England and Gloucestershire star Allen, who recently passed away at the age of 78, coached the likes of Chris Dent, Neil Pritchard and Damien Forder en route to their careers in the professional game.
Former England U19 international Shrewsbury can also be added to that list as he is 'living the dream' in his first season as a full-time contracted player with Gloucestershire having come under Allen's wing at Thornbury CC.
Originally from Cornwall, the 19-year-old was snapped up by the county's academy four years ago.
Shrewsbury counts himself fortunate to have learned under three former international off-spinners since making the move, having also spent a lot of time working with former Gloucestershire coach Richard Dawson and director of cricket John Bracewell, who played 41 Test matches for New Zealand.
"David was a great help at Thornbury," said Shrewsbury. "He gave me tips that he'd learnt over the years and it's been brilliant.
"I couldn't have asked to be in a better place with all that support.
"Richard has been a great help to me over the last few years – he worked hard to get me into the squad."
Shrewsbury finished his studies at Wycliffe College last year before making his Gloucestershire debut in a T20 game against Glamorgan at Cardiff and then playing in a County Championship match away to Northamptonshire.
The more experienced Tom Smith has started this season as the club's first choice spinner in the County Championship and NatWest T20 Blast, but Shrewsbury is hoping to push him hard for a place in the side as he adjusts to life as a professional cricketer.
He said: "I didn't see myself this time last year being here now. It's all come quite quickly.
"I still probably haven't hit the ground, I've just been living the dream really.
"My main aim is to take wickets and see if I can break into the first team.
"I think there are a lot of opportunities, especially if we're playing two spinners. I think I can vary my bowling to play all three formats."
Shrewsbury said breaking into the team last year was the highlight of his life.
"It was brilliant to be given that opportunity and see how proud my parents were in the crowd because they've put a lot of time and effort into me, and a lot of money into my funding and school.
"I was very proud to make my debut and I played in that four-day game, which was brilliant because it was in Northampton where my dad grew up so that meant something to him."

Chemical prices might not be the first forecasting indicator that springs to mind, but over the recent economic crisis benzene in particular has highlighted economic shifts well before more traditional metrics.
Benzene's 40 million tonnes of global sales are a key raw material for a very diverse group of end-products, including polystyrene cups, nylon clothing and carpets, pesticides and dyes. Equally, as it is produced from crude oil, benzene provides a highly-sensitive barometer of consumer reactions to changing energy prices.
A key metric is its price premium to naphtha (its oil-based feedstock). The chart above shows this metric since the crisis began in (using ICIS pricing data).
• Typically, the premium has found a floor at $150/tonne
• But it collapsed during October 2008, remaining very weak until February 2009
• The depth of the downturn was also demonstrated by the premium becoming a discount
• It then staged a sharp recovery, which took it back above the $150/t level
Therefore, benzene highlighted, well ahead of other indicators, both the downturn in the wider economy and the equally sudden upturn. Its recent performance therefore merits close attention. Read more

Ah. Battlefield 3. Finally I get to meet you properly without the nagging feeling in my head that I shouldn't be playing and that I should do some other stuff instead which is way more important and has a deadline I might not achieve if I stop playing RIGHT AT THAT INSTANT.
It's good. It's fun. It's neat. It's technologically quite impressive. But it has this little asterisk attached to it.
I just came back from a magnificent game. Joined partway through, grabbed an airplane, and took off from the US side of Operation Firestorm; Conquest Large. Shot down one other jet, then got shot down myself. Bailed out above capzone E; the one that's a bit far away from the others, which everyone always forgets about. Capped the capzone, after shooting some mans that were stationed there with my newly-acquired F2000 with a Heavy Barrel and an ACOG sight.
As I dropped a healthkit for myself to lick my wounds, I saw a few tanks approaching from the Russian side. There's practically a huge desert between E and the Russian spawn spot, so I saw them coming from very far away and quickly dashed behind some walls. As I sat there, scared to peek out and get shot by massive tank power, I noticed another tank coming from the other entrance to the capzone, followed by a few mans. I shot the mans with my F2000 friend, and let the tank pass. It hung around the capzone for a while until a friendly chopper blew him up, and I took care of the guys hopping out of the tank. Meanwhile, the other tank also enters the capzone, also gets shot until it burns, and I take care of the engineers that hop out to repair it. A few more men on foot try to ambush my capzone, and I take care of those with a few bursts of my probable new favourite weapon. Unfortunately, one of them manages to hit me quite severely and brings me down to 10% health, so I run around a wall, drop a medkit, and pray that nobody spots me there.
As I lay down, praying for my own life, I notice that cute blue number on the bottom right of my screen. My ammo. It's running out. I figure I have about enough ammo left to shoot one man down and then take his weapon off his dead body. I look around for teammate Supports, but I can't see any of them. This capzone must really be off the US team's radar, as so far I have only seen enemies.
I spot a buggy approaching me from the Russian base. I dash around a wall on the outer rim of the capzone, turn around the wall, and manage to shoot the driver out of it. I still don't really know how; the F2000 ain't the most precise weapon of all, and my aim generally sucks. The gunner steps out, spots me, and runs towards me. He's an engineer. Another russian spawns on his ass, meaning that there are two nasties running towards me. I can only imagine their faces behind their engineer masks. They must be grinning madly as they're about to double-team a poor Assault without any ammo left. I unload my F2000 and pistol. Somehow, I kill them both, yet are left with 0% health. I've seen this happen a few times; you don't actually die until you go below 0% health. I was pumped. No ammo left, I quickly drop a medkit, rush towards the body of the soldier I just killed, and take his weapon. I can't say I know exactly what weapon that was; it didn't seem familiar at all, but I was glad it had an ACOG scope.
So here I am, with a weapon I can't remember ever using, at the outer wall of a capzone. I'm facing the entire battlefield. I see snipers in the distance sniping, tanks in the distance tanking, and choppers chopping far above me. I check what set I have just picked up. Great, an assault. That engineer I killed must've took this from another body. I press '3', hoping to see a medkit pop up. Damned. Grenade launcher. I check my ammo. Enough for two clips. I contemplate moving out and grabbing whatever kit the other engineer I shot had, but figure that that'll just give away my position to the massive number of snipers obviously camping outside just beyond my visual range, which I see as an obvious indication of their nefarious intent.
As I've healed up, I check to see if the dead engineer's weapon is still there. It's not. I'm too late. I run back to the capzone so that I can get behind the walls again, safe from enemy snipers, when I see another buggy racing towards me. His exact direction makes it clear to me that he's going to try and ram me. I take my weapon to my eye, and shoot the bastard out of his buggy. His buggy just barely manages to miss me. His driver (who must've been sleeping as he never shot me) jumped out, and I took him down. I grab his kit and finally manage to get into solid cover again.
SCAR-H. No scope, no other attachments as far as I can tell. Damned. I hit '3', hoping to find an RPG. Damned. Anti-air. I magically look at my radar at just the right time to see a guy attempting to flank me, and I shoot him down just as he rounds the corner. Unfortunately, he brings me down to low health zone, and without a healthkit I can do nothing but sit and hope that my health will go back to what it used to be.
A tank rushes in, followed by a few guys. Somehow, I manage to shoot the mans down without them noticing me (I was shooting at them from their left side, they must've not noticed in time to shoot at me). The tank rushes past and continues to not bother about me. A chopper moves overhead ready to drop people off at the cap zone, or assist the tank that's now capturing my precious cap zone (I can't differentiate between transport choppers and attack choppers yet). I take out my anti-air, and manage to disable the damned thing. It flies over me, and lands somewhere safely. Engineers hop out and start repairing that damned thing like mad. I peek over a partially-destroyed wall, and unload a clip of my SCAR-H without caring for proper burst firing. I somehow manage to take one guy down; the rest hop into their partially repaired chopper.
I take out my anti-air again and shoot at the chopper, all whilst there is at least one tank near me and I figure I don't have long to live anymore. The chopper is disabled again and flies off somewhere else out of sight. I smile as I see the 'destruction bonus' text pop up. I realize I'm doing pretty well, and message a friend through Origin that I just managed to get a 16:0 k/d ratio, as I thought he was still in the same server as I was. As I'm doing so, more enemy tanks show up to take that capture zone. The Russkis must really like it.
I take out the footsoldiers with surprising ease again. The tanks happily do not acknowledge my existence and camp at the heart of the capture zone. Suddenly, I hear music in the background. I look in the bottom left corner of the screen. The Russians are almost out of tickets. The music goes louder and louder, until my screen suddenly turns blueish-white.
Your team won. Top of my own team: Megagun. K/D: 21:0. I smile the widest smile I've ever smiled when playing Battlefield 3, and suddenly become aware of the adrenaline flowing through my body. I did it!
As I sit there, looking through my stats and messaging a friend through Origin, I can't wait to look through the battle report. Something about those advanced statistics it shows can be pretty damned satisfying.
The next map loads, and I exit as I have to run some errand.
As I come back, I load up Battlelog to look at the report. It's not there. The game didn't save anything at all. I look at my statistics for the F2000, and the tactical flashlight isn't displayed as being unlocked for me, even though I unlocked it in the game I just played. The game wasn't recorded at all. No stats were saved. Why, game, why!? Why this particular game, my own little 'Battlefield Moment', instead of that other game where I humiliated myself horribly by continuously crashing attack helicopters into the ground!?
That's the asterisk I told you about earlier. Although the technology is quite neat, and the webbrowser-based server browser is actually something I like, some stuff just doesn't always work correctly. A friend of mine has problems with the voice chat (he keeps getting kicked out of it after 10 seconds). Others have problems with games not being saved. Yet others have problems with the game crashing often at map changes. Very unfortunate.
That said, Battlefield 3 is still quite an amazing game. I bet I'll continue to love playing it for a few months to come.
TL;DR: Joined a game. Flew a jet. Shot down another jet then got shot down myself. Captured a capzone, killed a lot of dudes, feared for my life as tanks swarmed over my position and I had little health. Swapped weapons twice with guys I killed due to lack of ammo. Ended the game with a 21:0 kill-to-death ratio, which then wasn't saved by Battlelog and the stats were never saved either. Blah.

AA = Anti-Anything. Good lord. I'm used to a few things being badly balanced in a BF game, but this is ridiculous.
If there's no tank at base, wait 'til one pops. After all, what's more important: Getting to A or killing him? If the latter, you can afford the 40 seconds 'til the asshat who jacked the tank gets himself killed.
Hell, I'd run up to them and C4'em. They should be looking up, but why not look everywhere when you obliterate infantry too? Who honestly thought "Yeah, the AA needs to have its power increased." Also, that dreaded G3. Because I've been killed by that SO...what's that, not at all? Why, funny that...so they nerfed it. Nice.
Oh and don't get me started on the G3, I worked so hard to unlock it, loved it for 55 kills (didn't use it much) and now look what's happened. I had wanted to use it with a scope, bipod and a laser so I could have a fully automatic long range rifle, but what's the point now? Might as well use the Support weapons... I hate being Support.
Use the starting LMGs for Support. The control isn't too different to an assault rifle and while they don't have quite as much immediate stopping power, they're good at what they do.
Hahaha, now after latest update I get black screen when joining the game and nothing happens, sound is there and i was banned for idling once. Now I can't shoot Americans online, what a shame. I'm going to post this on EA forums but those forums look abandoned by mods and tech staff, threads like "FU EA FU DICE" are everywhere. There is no hope.
EDIT: reverting language back to Russian fixed the problem, this is stupid

I just realized that I have 2 different EA accounts. My older account has all of the previous Battlefield games, and a high veteran status. My newer account has Medal of Honor 2010, and I accidentally used that to purchase Battlefield 3. Is there any way to link two EA accounts together, so I can get my maximum veteran status? I know it's not a big deal, but I'm petty like that. I'm also an achievement whore.
If you use the customer support...stuff (I don't know where on Origin or EA you actually find this, but I imagine it's easy enough to find) and you're chatting to someone, I believe they can merge them for you for little trouble.

I recently got the opportunity to sit down and interview a college student from Africa. The student is currently in the United States on an internship to study modern agriculture.
I will admit I was a little nervous going into the interview. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was anxious to hear about where the student had grown up and what experiences he had undergone throughout life.
I had never met anyone from Africa. The country and culture is one I know little about. I've seen documentaries on African culture, I've looked at National Geographic more than once and have scanned articles on Africa, I've looked at pictures from my college friends' Facebooks who are currently serving time in the Peace Corps and are teaching in Africa, but I had never been face-to-face with someone from the country.
When we met, I learned the student was immediately open to tell about experiences, background and culture.
When I asked about the differences in the culture. The student explained the difference in mannerisms in America vs. Africa. In Africa, when a person is introduced to another and they want to show respect to, they must bow their heads and remove their hats. The student laughed and said it was noticed immediately that didn't happen in America.
The conversation got more interesting when I learned the student had gotten to try everyday American food like McDonald's, pizza and ice cream for the first time. How crazy is that! Can Americans even imagine life without McDonald's and pizza?
I also learned the student was surprised to see young kids walk around with iPods, iPhones and iPads. In Africa, if someone is seen with that type of technology, it's well known that they are "a rich man." It made me wonder what this African student thought about Americans. Are Americans spoiled, or are we just lucky? American children are walking around with the same type of technology only a rich man in Africa can get his hands on.
As my interview went on and our conversation got deeper, I learned more about the student's background. He told me about how much control the government has over the people in Africa. True freedom is something that doesn't exist on that continent. It's a hard concept to grasp because as an American I know nothing different than the freedoms we are entitled to everyday.
The student told me about how the government had taken properties from farmers in his country because they didn't have enough money to pay soldiers. The soldiers were then free to take properties away from civilians.
As an American, can you imagine if that happened here on our soil? I know our government is not at its best right now. We hear about it, see it and read about it everywhere everyday. We should be thankful to be living in the land of the free. We have the right to our own land, the freedom of speech, the freedom to do what we want when we want.
I truly believe people take their rights for granted.
The African student had been a refugee when he was young. He was taken away from his parents, who he has not seen in years and isn't even sure if they are alive. Can you imagine? I think we should realize how much freedom and opportunity we have here in America.
My interview is definitely one that will stick with me forever and will make me rethink my frustrations the next time I begin feeling like things are unfair.

"The designers did exactly what I asked for and it was delivered well ahead of time. I was thankful for such professional work. I will recommend them to anyone that needs this service."
"I used this product for a 'schedule of events' for my destination wedding. The longer cut allowed me to fit all the information I needed in in regards to a 3-day schedule. The design team at Wedding Paper Divas adjusted the layout and text and transformed it into exactly what I was looking for. The quality is great and the design team got it done super fast."
"I created a welcome card to include in gift baskets to be delivered to out of town guests. This was my first time using Wedding Paper Divas. I was completely blown away. The quality and service way exceeded my expectations. Absolutely beautiful and 100% perfect. Beautiful printing, thick and high quality paper. I will only use this company in the future. Really amazing."
"Wanting a program that looked like it was bordered in gold, I called WPD and a staffer went through all the designs and sent me many samples to choose from. I ended up selecting a color that was not on the custom color card, but was used in one of their designs. It come out exactly how I wanted it to. Design wise, a staffer took the time to take this design and give me other design choices- one of which I loved. I made numerous changes along the way and he responded immediately. Couldn't have had a better experience."
"I love my wedding programs! The rich purple is consistent throughout printing and matches what I saw on the screen. The printing is clean and easily read, and the font looks great in person too. I definitely took advantage of paying the extra few cents per card in order to have a more elegant edge cut on the card. I think it added a hint of "something" that gives the program extra personality and it better matches the direction I was going for. I would order these again in a heartbeat."

A group of Victorian men will sue the Catholic Church for failing to protect them from a brother who sexually abused schoolboys under the guise of corporal punishment.
The former brother, Edward Mamo, was jailed for ordering five students to remove their pants and bend over before striking them with a leather strap.
Mamo would often touch himself and make comments to the students while hitting them, the Victorian County Court heard.
He also assaulted two other boys by seductively massaging the chest of one and fondling the genitals of the other while wrestling with him on a school bus.
Mamo, 68, was jailed for two years and three months on Friday after pleading guilty to seven counts of indecent assault at Monivae College, in Hamilton, over a four-year period in the 1970s.
Three of Mamo's victims have accused the school's operator, Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC), of covering up the abuse.
"When we reported it did (MSC) tell the authorities? Did they even tell our parents or give us any counselling? They just enabled it to go on night after night," one victim said outside court.
The group of victims is now preparing a civil case against MSC and urged any other victims to come forward and join the action.
"We worry that we are the tip of the iceberg," one victim said.
"We are gravely concerned that these crimes were covered up at the time."
Mamo would order the students to an isolated room under the school, where he would make them wait in a dark corridor before spanking their bare backsides.
He was aged 31 to 35 at the time of his offending and assaulted schoolboys as young as 11.
Judge Julian Leckie said Mamo was guilty of a serious breach of trust.
"You breached that duty of care by sexually interfering with them," he told Mamo.
"They suffered and continue to suffer emotional and psychological trauma as a result of your offending."
Judge Leckie said Mamo, of Sydney, had demonstrated a measure of remorse by offering his guilty plea as an apology for the hurt and harm he had caused the victims.
He must serve 18 months of his sentence before he will become eligible for parole.

"I absolutely love my invitations. Another beautiful added touch to my day. Thank you for your hard work and getting it to me in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend to my friends."
"Great design with a tint of nostalgia. WPD designers are easy to work with - incorporated more wording on the back of the card at my request. Customer service was also top notch. My cards were delayed - WPD happily sent me another batch for next day delivery. Would definitely recommend this design and WPD in general to friends."
"We LOVED these wedding invites from the second we saw them and got tons of positive feedback! I love the subtle color variations in the leaf designs (we used the green option - we were having an outdoor summer wedding) and think the font colors complimented it nicely. The only change we made was to put the phrase "reception to follow"and the "and" between our names into Willa Bold font rather than the script font. We were sent proofs promptly, and the designer listened to our suggestions. Overall, the printing quality was excellent, the invites arrived in a timely manner and just as advertised, and the paper was fantastic. What helped most was that we ordered sample invitations from WPD (8 for free) and they send you a super helpful paper stock sample guide. I would highly recommend doing this, because it shows you exactly what you're going to get! Overall, we were super happy with the invitations!"
"Was worried about ordering the invitations online, sight unseen, but I could not be happier with the end result! They were delivered a week before I expected them, and the quality of the paper and over product was exceptional."
"The paper (standard that they use) was a great quality, as always with their products. The colors were soft and delicate like I wanted. We aren't having a formal event, so these work great for the laid back feel we wanted."

What would you like us to do with the funds you've selected
The performance of funds on FE Trustnet is set to GBX by default. You can rebase the fund performance into the funds native currency if you wish.
The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) shows the drag on performance caused by operational expenses associated with a fund.
Expenses which are represented by this figure include payments to the manager, the trustee the custodian and their representatives. The figure also includes registration, regulatory, audit and legal fees, and the costs of distribution.
Performance fees, transaction costs, interest on borrowing, costs associated with derivatives, entry and exit fees and soft commissions are not included in the OCF calculation, and should be factored in separately by the investor.
The OCF is calculated by taking the sum of these expenses incurred in the last 12 months and dividing this by the average net assets of that class for the last 12 months.
Total Expense Ratio (TER) is a formula designed to show the ongoing costs to the investor associated with a fund, including some charges which are not factored into the annual management fee. In addition the fund's annual fee, charges such as trading fees, audit and legal fees, and operational expenses are included in the TER, which is worked out by dividing the total cost of the fund by its total assets to arrive at a percentage.
Unlike the Ongoing Charges Figure, the TER takes into account performance fees. It does not include transaction costs paid to the custodian.
All prices in Pence Sterling (GBX) unless otherwise specified. Price total return performance figures are calculated on a bid price to bid price basis (mid to mid for OEICs) with net income (dividends) reinvested. Performance figures are shown in Pound Sterling (GBP). You can switch the fund's native currency using the currency selector towards the top of this page.
You are being transferred to Trustnet Direct, which is run by Financial Express Investments Limited (authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority), where you will be able to complete this transaction.

Make Your Own Flavored Oilsby Robin Miller in Uncategorized, March 29, 2013
Inspired by the new flavored butters on the market, here are some fresh and versatile oil alternatives that can liven up your menu while keeping saturated fat in check. Use flavored oils to spruce up marinades, salad dressings and vinaigrettes, pasta and rice dishes, and use the oils to sauté, stir-fry and sear your favorite vegetables, meats, fish and poultry.
Remember, all oils have about 120 calories and 14 grams of fat per tablespoon, so always measure your oil to keep the calories in check. Olive, canola, safflower and nut oils are higher in monounsaturated fat, vegetable and sesame oils are evenly split between monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat and corn and grapeseed oils are higher in polyunsaturated fat. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are both heart-healthy; they help lower cholesterol and they dish up powerful antioxidants that protect against cell damage. That said, it's good to mix things up and use a variety of oils when cooking and creating meals.
To make your own flavored oils:
Place oil in a saucepan and add desired flavorings. Great choices include:
Fresh basil
Fresh or dried oregano
Fresh chives
Chopped shallots
Fresh rosemary
Fresh ginger
Fresh garlic cloves
Fresh or dried thyme
Fresh parsley
Fresh mint
Red pepper flakes
Chili powder or chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
Sundried tomatoes
Set the pan over medium heat and steep for 3 to 5 minutes, until the flavoring ingredients are fragrant.
Cool the oil, strain out the flavoring ingredients and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. (Oils made with fresh garlic and herbs can grow dangerous bacteria so store all flavored oils in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks).

MASKED thieves have broken into a shop in Cam and stolen a large amount of cigarettes and alcohol in a midnight raid.
The One Stop shop on Phillimore Road was broken into by a gang of four men wearing balaclavas and dark clothing after they cut the bolt holding the shop's shutter at around 1.30am on Tuesday.
CCTV footage showed that once the burglars were inside they set about taking nearly all the shops cigarettes and tobacco as well as several bottles of spirits before placing them in a black dustbin bag and making off with their stash.
When the crime was discovered, police officers set about investigating the crime scene for forensics, delaying the opening of the shop.
One regular shopper and Cam resident was Paul Owl, who said that there should be little sympathy for the thieves if they are found.
"I think they should lock them all up," he said.
"The effect it has on this community is unbelievable. The lads couldn't come in this morning for their papers. I really hate it."
A Gloucestershire Police spokesman said: "Once inside they have taken a large amount of alcohol and cigarettes, placing them in a black dustbin and left the building in the same way they entered."
One Stop spokeswoman Annie Good said: "We were concerned to hear of this and are relieved that nobody was hurt.
"This is now a matter for the police and we are supporting them with their investigation."
Anyone with any information on the incident is asked to call Gloucestershire Police on 101 quoting incident number 16 of 22/04/14.
