Did you know?
Ezemvelo KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife provides comprehensive details of each cave, from comfort levels to accessibility to water.
Marble Baths Cave, Sherman's Cave, Spare Rib Cave, Nutcracker Cave and Sleeping Beauty Cave – choose from any one of these and dozens more when you overnight in a cave in the Drakensberg.
The uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, the first site in South Africa to be recognised as both a Cultural and Natural World Heritage Site, is home to the majestic Drakensberg, South Africa's largest and most spectacular mountain range.
The Zulus call uKhahlamba (pronounced Ooka-hlamba) the Barrier of Spears, but don't be put off by the formidable name – there are hikes, rambles, walks and ambles for everyone from the super-fit to the couch potato.
You'll see stunning scenery while hiking and, often, superb examples of the world-famous San rock paintings – arguably the finest in the country.
If you're prepared to rough it for a night then a unique way to get really close to nature and to experience the mountains at first-hand is to overnight in a cave.
Though you are forbidden to sleep in caves with San paintings, there are many others where you can unroll your sleeping bag, tuck into your rations, enjoy a tot and watch the dawn come up over the peaks, or see the sun set from your high eyrie.
Ezemvelo KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife will give you a comprehensive list of caves you can overnight in, but you must book well in advance. Some caves sleep only two, others up to 12, so you may find yourself alone or joined by another party of intrepid hikers.
There are some important wilderness principles to abide by when overnighting in a cave: no fires; relieve yourself well away from the cave; what you take in, you take out; and, finally, leave only your footprints, so that others may enjoy the same wilderness experience.

Broken Steel is in still in the news. This week, Game Revolution's Nick Tan has a new preview for the upcoming DLC. Here's a snippet:
"Before asking Alan Nanes (lead designer for Broken Steel) and Pete Hines (VP of Public Relations & Marketing) about how much experience is needed to reach the (perhaps) final level, I thought I would be clever by calculating it beforehand. Following the formula of needing 150 more experience to reach each subsequent level, you will need 66,700 experience to reach level 30 which is about 125% more experience than that needed at level 20 (29,450)."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/10/2013 (1407 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For a couple of weeks now, Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Tim Burke has been making the case that maybe, just maybe, he deserves another chance to lead the Bombers in 2014.
While Burke marshalls a couple of different arguments he believes work in his favour -- "So, you think you could have done better with this team of sad-sacks?" is the most compelling one, I think -- the one he has used most commonly goes like this:
"Yeah, we're bad. Yeah, we're terrible. But despite our woeful record and almost non-existent playoff chances, these players continue to play hard. And isn't it exactly that -- motivating players to expend their best effort -- which is the most important role of a head coach?"
'... All I was thinking about out there was how big a win like this against a tough opponent, and on the road, would be for this organization'--Bombers offensive lineman Glenn January
Burke offered up a version of that argument as recently as Sunday in Montreal when the local media there prompted him to make his unlikely case to stay on in 2014.
While the Montreal reporters listened politely -- it's hard not to like Burke when you meet him -- there was more than a little eye-rolling afterward, particularly in regard to Burke's contention that his players continue to play hard.
This was a Bombers team, after all, which at that point had just finished losing their last two games -- to Calgary and B.C. -- by a combined score of 91-28 and looked nothing at all like the group of underdog warriors waging on against all odds that Burke was describing.
And then Monday happened.
In case you missed it, Burke's Bombers defeated the Montreal Alouettes 34-27 at Stade Molson on Monday afternoon with exactly the kind of grit and determination Burke maintained had been present throughout the long and tortuous debacle that is the 2013 season.
In what was an exceptionally chippy and hard-hitting game, the Bombers bought in to a man. You could see it in the way players like offensive lineman Glenn January and linebacker Ian Wild had to be helped from the field during the game, only to return later against all better judgment.
"That honestly was a war out there," January reflected in a jubilant Bombers locker-room afterward. "I can reflect back on a couple of hits that I took that, well, let's just say I don't feel too good right now. But all I was thinking about out there was how big a win like this against a tough opponent, and on the road, would be for this organization."
Burke's Bombers battled through four different lead changes in the second half, refusing to fold each time the Alouettes regained the lead and fighting on until the final gun. By game's end, the much maligned Bombers offence had put up more points than in any other game this season and generated more yards than they had in any of their previous seven games.
And the defence? Well, a Bombers defence that had just seven interceptions through the first 14 games of the season picked off four balls in this game alone. And a Bombers defensive line -- playing for the first time without CFL sack leader Alex Hall, who'd been traded the week before -- held the Alouettes to just 75 yards rushing and 295 yards in total.
Was it perfect? On the contrary -- it was a game full of mistakes. But the Bombers made less of them on this day and the difference between winning and losing appeared to be that Winnipeg -- strange as it may seem -- seemed to want this one more than Montreal, who could have clinched a playoff spot with the win.
And so how to make sense of it all? How does a team that looked so hopeless in a 53-17 loss to B.C. and 38-11 loss to Calgary put up that kind of gutsy effort against Montreal? Well, here's one theory: Maybe Burke is right.
Maybe, just maybe, the reason the Bombers got drilled by Calgary and B.C. wasn't because the Bombers had quit, it was because the Bombers were overmatched by teams with much better players.
And so when provided in Montreal on Monday with an opponent much closer to their talent level, a motivated effort coaxed out of the Bombers by their embattled head coach was enough to give even this bunch of sad-sacks an actual chance to win.
Burke didn't pick these players, they were picked for him. His job is to get the best out of them -- and he insists he has been.
Maybe he's right.

Did you know?
The area where Enkosini Wildlife Sanctuary is located is completely malaria-free.
The Enkosini Wildlife Sanctuary was formed in 2001. Since then, the American founders and managers Kelcey Grimm and Greg Mitchell have established a spectacular 20 000 acre wildlife reserve located on a magnificent escarpment of rolling mountains and plains in the Mpumalanga province.
Enkosini is in the process of re-introducing animals onto the land and the sanctuary also aims to provide protection for orphaned, injured and displaced wildlife.
Enkosini Wildlife Sanctuary profiles itself as a bushveld haven, offering an experience for nature lovers who are interested in more than the Big Five. This sanctuary is one of many wildlife projects that offer conservation volunteer work in South Africa, mainly aimed at international visitors who pay a fee for the privilege of hands-on work in the African bush.
Enkosini is home to many species of indigenous birds and flora. The relaxed atmosphere provides an antidote to the stresses of everyday living, all while you contribute to a worthy cause.
Volunteers have the experience of establishing a game reserve and will be involved in the introduction of animals in three phases: first the plains game, including zebra, wildebeest, and impala. This will be followed by larger herbivores including rhino, buffalo and giraffe and ultimately, by predators, including cheetah, spotted hyena, wild dog and lion.
Enkosini is a Zulu word that means "place of kings". The reserve is mainly made up of old farmland, where Grimm and Mitchell are trying to build a self-sustaining model of responsible conservation that preserves Africa's natural heritage and enhances the local economy through overseas capital injection via wildlife volunteer work in South Africa.

Enkosini Eco-Experience
Mobile: +27 (0) 82 442 6773
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
How to get here
Enkosini Wildlife Sanctuary volunteers will be picked up at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and will be transported to the wildlife sanctuary near Lydenburg. Alternate transport options are detailed on their website.
Best time to visit
The sanctuary can be visited any time of year.
Tours to do
Enkosini offers camping safaris to Kruger National Park for their volunteers.
Length of stay
Varies from two weeks to six months for volunteers. General visitors will need a day.
What to pack
Volunteers have to bring their own sleeping bags and clothing, but shouldn't worry about much else.
Where to stay
Volunteers live on the sanctuary grounds.
What to eat
A volunteer contribution covers meals, but you'll need pocket money for drinks and snacks as well as any other activities planned while in South Africa.

Pujols delivers game's only run in 13th for win
Single to center scores Calhoun to break scoreless tie in series finale
BALTIMORE -- Albert Pujols got a tailing slider out over the plate, swung hard, lined it up towards the middle, flipped his bat with authority and exhaled deeply as he jogged towards first base late Thursday night.
Finally, after getting robbed by Orioles third baseman Manny Machado twice in one night, Pujols had snuck one through the infield.
Finally, after 12 innings of frustration in what has so far been a low-scoring first half, his offense scored a run.
Finally, after dropping back-to-back nail-biters from Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the Angels had a win.
"We could've easily gone out there and not cared about the last game of the series, but we fought," Pujols said after the Angels' 1-0 victory in 13 innings. "Great pitching from both sides."
Thanks to Pujols' single, and another lockdown bullpen effort in relief of an injured Tyler Skaggs, the Angels avoided their first three-game losing streak since May 31-June 3 and moved two games back of the idle A's for first place in the American League West.
The Angels (64-43) have played four extra-inning games in the second half, and their 13 games since the All-Star break have been decided by a total of 19 runs. During that span, the offense is batting .229 while averaging just over three runs per game - after averaging just over five a game in the first half.
"That's baseball," Angels second baseman Howie Kendrick said. "You're not going to win every game and you're not going to go out and out-slug everybody. Every team we've faced has good pitching."
Thursday's contest tied the July 22 Rangers-Yankees game in the Bronx for the longest scoreless game this season. The Angels finished the regular season 2-4 against the AL East-leading Orioles (60-47), with every game decided by less than three runs and all three in this series decided by only one.
As Angels manager Mike Scioscia said, "It was a grind."
Orioles skipper Buck Showalter was asked if he felt his club was fortunate to take two of three.
"Fortunate?" Showalter responded. "No. We think we can compete with them, and we did."
Bud Norris executed his usual dominance against the Angels, shutting them out through seven innings despite scattering eight hits to put his ERA at 0.43 in 41 2/3 innings -- the best ERA of anyone who has ever registered more than 30 innings against the Angels.
Skaggs held the Orioles hitless through the first 4 2/3 innings, but walked Steve Pearce with two outs in the fifth and exited one pitch later with what the club later called a left forearm strain. An initial evaluation from the team's medical department deemed that Skaggs' ulnar collateral ligament is fine, which has him feeling positive, but Friday's MRI will provide a more definitive answer.
"I was looking forward to continuing to go out there," Skaggs said. "I felt like I was throwing the ball where I wanted to today. I'm pretty salty I didn't get to finish it out there."
The Angels' bullpen -- a bullpen that entered with a 1.85 ERA in July - had his back.
Mike Morin, Kevin Jepsen, Cory Rasmus and Hector Santiago held the Orioles scoreless for the next 7 1/3 innings, matching the work by Brad Brach, Tommy Hunter and, for the first inning, Ryan Webb. And in the 13th, the Angels' offense finally came to life.
Kole Calhoun led off with a walk and Mike Trout singled to left against Webb, putting runners on the corners with none out. Pujols -- robbed of a hit on an outstanding throw by Machado for the second time in this series -- followed with the RBI single that went for his second hit and put the Angels on the board.
"At the end of the day you need to stay positive, swing the way you are, don't try to change anything," Pujols said. "You've got nine guys on the field for a reason. They're going to make plays. Sometimes you're going to sneak one by, other times they're going to make the play. [Machado] is one of the best third basemen in the game. Young kid, 22, and the way that he carries himself, it's unbelievable. Great player."
Brian Matusz came in from the bullpen and struck out the side to end the inning, but Huston Street shut the Orioles down in the bottom half to record his 28th save of the season and his fourth since coming over from the Padres.
Finally, the Angels were able to use their new closer in this series.
"You want to be a part of it; you want to help the team," Street said. "The bullpen has really been pitching well, before I got here, for the last couple months especially. You want to be competitive. You want to get out there and just feel like you have a chance to help the team win. It was nice to."

Editor's Note: All information in this post is from The Susan G. Komen for the Cure web site. I am not a doctor, I am only passing on information from a credible site. Please seek a medical professional if you have any questions or concerns.
According to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure web site, Breast cancer is a type of cancer where cells in the breast divide and grow without normal control. Between 50 and 75 percent of breast cancers begin in the ducts, 10 to 15 percent begin in the lobules and a few begin in other breast tissues.
Tumors in the breast tend to grow slowly. By the time a lump is large enough to feel, it may have been growing for as long as 10 years. However, some tumors are aggressive and grow much more rapidly.
It is important to understand the difference between invasive breast cancer and non-invasive breast cancer, called ductal carcinoma in situ (kar-sin-O-ma in SY-too). Click here to find out more.
Breast self-exam (BSE) is not recommended as a screening tool for breast cancer. However, Susan G. Komen for the Cure® recommends that you become familiar with the way your breasts normally look and feel. Knowing what is normal for you may help you see or feel changes in your breast.
Warning signs of breast cancer
If you notice any of the warning signs of breast cancer listed below, see your health care provider.
- Lump, hard knot or thickening inside the breast or underarm area
- Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening of the breast
- Change in the size or shape of the breast
- Dimpling or puckering of the skin
- Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple
- Pulling in of your nipple or other parts of the breast
- Nipple discharge that starts suddenly
- New pain in one spot that doesn't go away
If you feel a lump in your breast, do not panic. Most lumps are not breast cancer, but something less serious, like a benign breast condition (more on benign breast conditions).
Some lumps will go away on their own. Often, they are related to your menstrual period and will go away by the end of your cycle. However, it is best to see your health care provider just to be sure.
Please remember this post is not to scare you, but make you more aware of this disease. Let's be vigilant and more aware of our health. Early detection and screening is key!!

Are you using Outlook for your e-mail? Outlook is not only an
e-mail client, but also serves as a calendaring system and task
manager. The Outlook system can help attorneys boost their
productivity in practice. But, alas, the benefit is only realized
when the user understands and can maximize Outlook's functionality.
Below are some tips and tricks that will help you to realize the
full potential of Outlook in your practice Please note that
instructions may vary slightly depending upon your version of
Outlook. These tips were created using Outlook 2010.
1) Using Outlook Mail
Folders. Using Outlook's folder system can help you keep
your practice well organized. Without the use of Outlook's folders,
all your e-mail resides in your Inbox and the only way to find an
e-mail is by utilizing Outlook's search function. Rather than lump
all your e-mails together in your Inbox, try sorting your e-mails
by folders. Folders provide easy and intuitive access to past
e-mails. You might set up folders, for example, for each
client/matter, contact, bar association, committee and
How to set up folders:
Once you have set up your folders, you can either manually add
e-mails or set up rules to sort e-mails automatically.
How to add e-mails to folders:
Bonus Tip (courtesy of Reba J. Nance, Colorado Bar
Outlook sorts folders in alphabetical order without providing an
easy solution for custom reorganization. However, there is an easy
override. Let's say you want your Massachusetts Bar Association
folder to appear at the top of your folder list. All you need to do
is re-label that folder "A. Massachusetts Bar Association." Now
that folder will appear at the top of your folder list. Then, of
course, you'll want your LOMAP folder to appear second in your
folder list. Label that folder "B. LOMAP," and so on for other
folders you would like to prioritize. Your remaining folders will
be sorted alphabetically.
2) Scheduling E-mails.
Rather than setting a reminder to send an e-mail you have drafted,
Outlook allows you to schedule e-mails to be delivered at a certain
time. How to schedule emails:
3) Keyboard Shortcuts. As with every
software program, keyboard shortcuts can boost your efficiency by
cutting down the amount of time it takes to execute a certain
computer task. Here are some helpful Outlook keyboard

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/1/2013 (1666 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
HOW do you sum up a half-century of dancing, laughing and just being so darn enthusiastic? If you're Dancing Gabe Langlois, the answer is simple: "That was the best 50 years of my life."
Gabe is officially Winnifamous. Tuesday morning, he kicked off his day by appearing on Breakfast Television on Citytv.
His recipe for his fantastic life and looking so young for his fifth decade?
Well, there's using an elliptical fitness cross-trainer. "I work out almost every day," he said.
Then there's the dancing, of course, at Jets or Goldeyes or Blue Bombers games. At Jets games, he dances during breaks in the play, then hustles back to the tunnel entrance and over to the next section to await another chance to dance.
"I got the energy and I entertain people," he said.
Plus, there's the importance of a healthy diet.
Gabe doesn't believe in drinking more than one or two beers.
Not one to embrace no-carb diets, his top pick is pasta -- veggie alfredo with long noodles, corn, chicken and peas.
He makes sure to let his almost 82-year-old mother know what she means to him.
"I thank her all the time," he said.
Dancing Gabe's birthday meant his favourite things: a workout at his neighbourhood YMCA, cake and bowling. It also meant family time, such as with his 46-year-old sister, Claudette Langlois.
"He's just so enthusiastic," his sister said.
Gabe owns 14 team jerseys, but his favourite is the Jets 2.0.
The man who gives the most high-fives, poses for the most pictures at Winnipeg Jets games and is arguably the most recognizable person inside the MTS Centre is not on the payroll at True North Sports & Entertainment.
Dancing Gabe has been a fixture at Winnipeg sporting events, professional and amateur, for more than two decades. Any time music is blared over the PA system, it's not difficult to find him somewhere in the arena or stadium busting some dance moves, pumping up the crowd and generally serving as the unofficial No. 1 fan of the Winnipeg Jets, Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Winnipeg Goldeyes.
He has missed only a handful of games since the early '90s
Langlois, who has a condition his mother considers to be autism, was first spotted dancing at a sporting event by Mike O'Hearn, an executive with the old Winnipeg Jets in the early '90s. He gave Langlois a new Jets jersey and a legend was born.
"Then, boom, I was on national television, TSN," Dancing Gabe remembered.

YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio (AP) -- A tiny western Ohio liberal-arts college that's in the process of rebuilding after a three-year shutdown is offering free tuition for next year's class of 75 students.
Antioch College in Yellow Springs closed in 2008 amid financial problems and reopened last year as an independent school with about 35 students.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/AlD2Qr ) reports Antioch's students are not eligible for federal financial aid because it is not accredited. But a fellowship program covers the total of more than $100,000 in tuition over four years for students who are granted admission.
The application deadline is Wednesday, and the school expects about 2,500 applications for the 75 spots.
President Mark Roosevelt emphasizes that recipients of the fellowship money are expected to commit to help shape the future of the college.

Creepy New Tiger Woods Ad
Nike aired Woods' first television spot a day before the Masters tournament.
-Faye Brennan
Nike successfully creeped everyone out with their latest commercial featuring Tiger Woods. The ad marks Woods' return to golf and aired on ESPN and the Golf Channel one day before the Masters tournament.
In the black and white ad, Woods stares at the camera while his father, Earl Woods, speaks to him. You know, his father who died in 2006. We told you it was creepy!
Read Tiger Woods Had a One-Night Stand with
Neighbor's Daughter
His father's voice asks Tiger questions relating to his recent cheating scandal and stint in rehab for sex addiction. "Tiger," he says, "I am more prone to be inquisitive to promote discussion. I want to find out what your thinking was. I want to find out what your feelings are, and did you learn anything?"
Tiger stands there, trying to look as apologetic as he can with his eyes. It's an odd move by Nike to no doubt try to fix the golf star's image. But it has nothing to do with selling sneakers, right? If so, it may be the world's worst TV ad to push a product… ever. (Wane.com)

Checking string in array is simple
string[] array = { "foo", "bar" };
if (array.Contains("foo")) {
I need to check if array item(s) is in string. Is it possible to avoid a loop here?
string[] array = { "foo", "bar" };
string item = "foolish";
bool isIitem = item.Contains(array); //looking for some thing similar
there are two ways this can be done, the first is with a loop, the second is using LINQ's "Any" extension method with 1 line of code and a lambda expression:
string[] haystack = {"hello", "world"};
string needle = "he";
bool isFound = false;
foreach (var bale in haystack)
isFound = true;
bool doesAnyItemContainThisString = haystack.Any(bale => bale.Contains(needle));
Ah, Lambda expressions and LINQ. Is there anything more beautiful on this planet? I think not,
I couldn't agree more. Despite the ASP.NET + WebForms paradigm having rubbed web developers up the wrong way for quite awhile I think the ASP.NET Web Pages WebMatrix, Razor and .NET 3.5/4.0 and language developments (LINQ, var, automatic properties, [automatic properties, collection intializers, [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd264739.aspx"]named and optional arguments](http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/03/08/new-c-orcas-language-features-automatic-properties-object-initializers-and-collection-initializers.aspx), etc) greatly increase the efficiency and elegance of web development in .NET
List<string> blahList = new List<string>(
new string[] { "foo", "bar"});
string item = "foolish";
bool isIitem = blahList.Contains(item);
goldensum's post made me re-read the question (sorry!). I wrote it in reverse. I think what he was trying to say is "does the string contain any of the items in the array". Therefore the needles and the haystack are reversed. Here are the two options:
string[] needles = {"hello", "world"};
string haystack = "hello world";
bool doesHaystackContainAnyNeedles = false;
doesHaystackContainAnyNeedles = needles.Any (needle => haystack.Contains(needle));
// Loop
foreach(var needle in needles)
doesHaystackContainAnyNeedles = true;
In cases like this, the linq bit will still be doing a loop under the covers -- how else can it find the match where there is no index or other way of cheating?
Yes, of course. But somehow I still prefer the elegance of LINQ and though this is a simple example I find it pays dividends in other areas where one ends up using a cleaner more functional programming style rather than mutating variables.
To take it to the extreme, I occasionally use the .ForEach(x => DoSomething(x)) extension on my List<T> rather than a foreach(var x in y) { DoSomething(x); } I note ReSharper seems to prefer this too). Then when you want to parallelize it, it's as simple as using the Parallel.ForEach method rather than the ForEach extension method. If I want to do a transformation of the data beforehand, I can just use a .Select(x => x) extension method in front of the .ForEach().
No arguments there. Just wanted to dispel the idea that linq was some sort of database like magic that could make straight list lookups faster than O(n) operations . . .

Last week, Cooking Channel staff was fortunate enough to attend the second-annual LUCKYRICE Festival, an exciting, week-long tribute to the incredible diversity of Asian culinary culture.
The NYC-based festival featured truly unique events hosted by talented chefs who specialize in Asian cuisine, including Iron Chef Morimoto, chef Ming Tsai, and Cooking Channel's own Ching-He Huang (see the full list or participants here).
Here are some highlights from the event:
The LUCKYRICE Night Market promised to happen rain or shine, and while the skies were clear in Brooklyn on May 4, the air was chilly at the outdoor event that featured street food from 50-ish New York City Asian restaurants.
It was easy to forget about the cold, however, while feasting on steamy noodles, crisp spring rolls, fish balls on a stick and pork belly in all forms: buns, sliders, dumplings and even tacos. Restaurants including the likes of Ember Room, Fatty Crab, Macao Trading Co., Social Eatz and Ma Peche brought savory and sweet dishes to delight the hordes who managed to land a ticket.
Those who needed a break from all the sampling headed into the drinks area, a heated space offering sake samples, Bombay Sapphire cocktails and Singha beer. One word of advice: if you go to the Night Market next year, make sure to get there early — unless, of course, you're charmed by the crowds typical of a quintessential Asian night market.
At the LUCKYRICE Festival's Grand Feast, held in the ultra-swanky Mandarin Oriental Hotel Ballroom last Friday, guests were greeted with Champagne, but the bubbly and the spectacular views of Central Park were overshadowed by the exciting and eclectic mix of tasty Asian bites showcased around the room. Juggling Champagne flutes and chopsticks, hungry ticket-holders moved from Morimoto's sample of Spicy King Crab (yes, the Iron Chef himself was manning the booth) to David Chang's peek into Ma Peche, a delightful bite of Fluke Tartare that exploded with flavor notes of citrus from blood orange, creamy avocado and black rice.
One of the most memorable mouthfuls, though, came from En Japanese Brasserie. Their Braised Washugyu Beef Cheek in Red Miso was so tender and succulent it melted in your mouth, permeating the senses with sweet, aromatic miso flavor.
From Malaysia to Korea, China and more, the exotic eats were virtually endless. But drinks came in colorful and crazy varieties too. One martini with a peculiar-looking garnish – a pickled, mini octopus – left those daring enough to try it savoring notes of seaweed and chili. As for desserts, few could resist Bar Boulud's sweet, mango-topped rice pudding, the perfect ending to an amazing Asian feast.
On Sunday, Cooking Channel's own Ching-He Huang hosted the Talk + Taste event for the LUCKYRICE Festival in Manhattan. The event featured cooking demos from four all-star chefs as well as samples of Asian food and drink to munch on while mingling. Chef Angelo Sosa demonstrated Malaysian cooking, Chef Jennifer Maeng delved into Korean food, and Chef Ming Tsai explored the fusion of East/West cooking.
Ching kicked things off with her demonstration of Chinese cuisine, including recipes for vegetarian crispy beancurd rolls and steamed chicken with Chinese mushrooms, goji berries and dried lily bulbs. All the samples were also available for tasting after the demonstrations.
A special congratulations to Jason Chau for winning the ticket give-away contest, and thanks to all that entered!

AMD Announces 2014 GPU Product Showcase Webcast: Sept. 25, 3pm EDTby Ryan Smith on 9/18/2013 8:00 PM EST

sorten - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkNice! With this on Wednesday and the Surface 2 event on Monday it's going to be an interesting tech week coming up. Reply
Lunyone - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkNow I want to see the same attention to detail and writing that the iPhone and Intel gets. Lets see if that happens or not, but it should be interesting none the least. Reply
Ammaross - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkIt won't get the same level of attention because, unlike with Apple, AMD doesn't make mysterious blackboxes with codenames like "Oscar" that you have to glean from debugging tools.... Reply
The Von Matrices - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkThis leads me to wonder why more press conferences aren't streamed live. I'm sure if live feeds of these tech press conferences were available (particularly smartphone announcements) they would get hundreds of thousands of viewers. Reply
Impulses - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkHoping their new releases put some added pressure on NV... Tho the GTX 7xx series wasn't priced too bad (outside of the 780). I've been thinking of getting two GTX 760s but I'll wait it out... Reply
ThortonBe - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkI can't wait! I'm glad you guys will be there. Reply
StealthGhost - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkHey, on my birthday! Does that mean I get a free GPU? Reply
IanCutress - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkMy birthday too! I'll take one :D Reply
mwildtech - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkWhich lucky person from Anandtech gets to go? Let me guess.....Anand?? Reply
Flexxar - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkI can understand someone saying that they want the fastest gpu, so they hope that amd releases the fastest card next month. I cannot understand someone saying that they hope amd releases the fastest card next month so that they can go and buy an inferior nvidia card. Do you wear an nvidia wedding band? Please explain yourself. Reply
Impulses - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkI've got two 6950 I'm relatively happy with right now, but given similar performance/$ I'd probably go with NV next time... They've got their act together when it comes to drivers. If AMD comes out with something far ahead in performance/$ I'd still end up with two red cards. Had a single GTX 260 before the Radeons and another Radeon before that btw.
It always makes more sense to wait until both company's current lineups are out anyway, as it'll either spur a price war or stabilize often nutty launch prices. Reply
piroroadkill - Wednesday, September 25, 2013 - linkThe sheer amount of complaints recently about NVIDIA drivers, blue screens, driver resets in Windows, etc etc has been pretty deafening.
Honestly, I would have generally agreed if it wasn't for this recently. It's much more of a toss up in the driver area than it seems. Reply
Sancus - Wednesday, September 25, 2013 - linkThe thing is that while both companies have driver bugs, ncidia fixes theirs in a timely manner usually. The 320.xx series drivers had some major problems but a couple of months later and they've been mostly resolved. Last time I used and cards(5870) there were significant crashes and blue screens that were never resolved the entire 1.5 years I had the card.
Also the frame pacing issue is quite bad and even the 'fixed' drivers remain quite interior to nvidia. There is a lot I don't like about Nvidia especially their business practices but it is hard to argue that their products are not fundamentally higher quality than AMD. That is why they are usually able to command a price premium even at similar performance levels. Reply
fdusuperstring - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkI don't want the fastest gpu. I only want good priced nvidia GPU as in my area, computational physics and chemistry, CUDA is the dominant tech for GPU acceleration. And nvidia gaming GPU is the perfect choice (compared to the savagely overpriced Quadro and Tesla). Reply

- November 2012: GloboSol annual report: Switzerland/Germany - Partner-meeting "Skillshare" - As a "première", some of our closest friends and solar colleagues from various foreign countries were invited to visit Globosol with Michael Götz. In the course of a manifold study and sight-seeing program, they also became acquainted with parts of Switzerland and southern Germany. Unfortunately only two guests were able to participate: Lorena Harp from Oaxaca, Mexico, the co-organizer of the project "Food-stalls in Mexico", and Sourakatou Ouro-Bangna, head of the solar center "Solasol" in Sokode,Togo. It was a stimulating event that nevertheless raised questions and unfortunately required significant administrative expense.

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – A new field hockey and women's lacrosse coach has been hired at Plymouth State College, according to Panther athletic director Steve Bamford.
The newest coach to join the Panther staff is Abby Burbank, who was most recently an assistant coach of both field hockey and women's lacrosse at the College of William and Mary. Burbank takes over from Wynn Hohlt, who resigned after six years at PSC to take a similar job at Bates College.
Burbank is a 1988 graduate of Williams College, where she played varsity basketball and lacrosse. She earned a Master's degree in Exercise and Sports Studies from Smith College in 1994, and has been involved in coaching since early this decade. Burbank has been the assistant women's lacrosse coach at William and Mary since 1994, and added the role of assistant field hockey coach last year.
"We feel very fortunate to attract the caliber of coach and person we have found in Abby Burbank," said Bamford. "She was the unanimous choice of the search committee after visiting our campus. Abby brings a strong coaching background at the collegiate level. She's bright, articulate, and has a history of being an effective recruiter. When it comes to representing PSC Athletics as a member of our coaching staff, Abby will be an excellent ambassador and positive role model."
Burbank got her coaching career started at Landmark College (VT), where she coached soccer, basketball and tennis. Then while earning her Master's degree at Smith College, Burbank served stints as assistant field hockey and basketball coach at Smith College, assistant basketball coach at Elms College, and assistant lacrosse coach at Amherst College. She moved on to William and Mary in 1994 after receiving her degree from Smith.
"I'm excited to join the Plymouth State staff, and looking forward to coaching both sports," said Burbank. "This is obviously a very strong program, and a great place to start as a head coach. Returning to New England and the White Mountains were certainly a draw."
The PSC programs that Burbank inherits from Hohlt have been solidified as two of the top programs in New England. The field hockey team finished with a 16-5 record in 1997 and made its fifth straight play-off appearance, and the women's lacrosse team had its best year under Hohlt in 1998 with a 9-7 mark, including an 8-1 record in the inaugural New England Women's Lacrosse Alliance.
"Our field hockey program during Wynn's tenure was a perennial post-season participant," said Bamford, "and our women's lacrosse team has made enormous competitive strides in recent years. We are convinced that Abby is the right person to take both programs onward and upward."

Limbaugh Falsely Insists WIC Program Is "Not Doing Anybody Any Good"
Radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed that the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutrition program is "not doing anybody any good," despite considerable evidence to the contrary.
On the October 4 edition of his radio show, Limbaugh smeared the WIC program as useless as the government shutdown halted funding toward WIC benefits. Limbaugh alleged that the program is "not doing anybody any good" because "by definition, we talking about single mothers here" who "don't know what to do if a government program runs dry." Limbaugh added, "I don't think this is helping anybody. ... This is no way to live, and it isn't necessary in this country."
According to Forbes, about 9 million mothers and children under the age of 5 receive nutritional benefits through the program. These benefits include [1] "healthy food, breastfeeding support, infant formula and other necessities dispensed at clinics nationwide," Forbes reported:
The USDA estimates that most states will be able to continue WIC operations as usual for "a week or so" before running out of money. The department's Food and Nutrition Service has a contingency fund of only $125 million available for this $7 billion annual appropriation.
So far the situation is most dire in Arkansas and Utah, according to Rev. Douglas Greenaway, who heads up nonprofit advocacy group the National WIC Association. Utah's WIC program, which already serves 65,000 moms and babies, has now stopped accepting new participants.
"There are health consequences when mothers cannot provide food and nutrition for their kids," said Rev. Greenaway. "There'll be no infant formula and no breastfeeding support. If the baby doesn't latch, that's it."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture projected that most states will be able to fund some degree of benefits for a short period during the current government shutdown, but "should a lapse extend through late October, federal WIC funding may not be sufficient to cover benefits," according the USDA's contingency plan [2] for the program.

A mechanical problem meant momentary trouble for Tour Down Under leader Cadel Evans late in Friday's stage four.
Evans' chain appeared to come off as the Australian cycling star tried to contest the second intermediate sprint at Yankalilla, 116.6km into the 148.5km stage.
Seconds later, the BMC team leader had to stop and change bikes, but was soon back in the peloton.
Fellow Australian Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEDGE), who is second overall, finished second in the Yankalilla sprint to gain two more seconds on Evans.
Gerrans also took out the first intermediate sprint of the stage from suburban Unley to Victor Harbor, south of Adelaide, giving him a three-second time bonus.
After losing the lead to Evans on stage three and trailing by 12 seconds, Gerrans picked up five seconds on Friday and reduced the gap to seven seconds.
Gerrans won the first intermediate sprint in the Adelaide Hills town of Echunga at 25.5km and Evans did not finish in the top three.
Fourth-placed Nathan Haas finished third in the first sprint and won the second sprint to gain four bonus seconds.
He remains fourth in the overall standings, but his deficit has gone down from 27 seconds to 23.
Italian Diego Ulissi (Lampre) is third at 15 seconds.
Victor Harbor is usually a sprint finish, meaning Gerrans is unlikely to have another chance on Friday to gain more bonus seconds.
The tour title will come down to Saturday's second last stage at Willunga, south of Adelaide, which features two climbs up Willunga Hill and a summit finish.
Gerrans was runner-up there two years ago to set up his second overall title and won the stage last year.
There was a flurry of attacks early in Friday's stage and eventually a five-rider break went clear after the first sprint.
Australian Cameron Wurf (Cannondale) and French rider Axel Domont (Ag2r) went clear of the other three members of the breakaway and built a lead of nearly five minutes.
But the peloton were never going to let them stay away ahead of the second intermediate sprint.
Crosswinds created tricky conditions for the bike riders and several, including British star Geraint Thomas (Sky), almost came to grief.
Thomas briefly went off onto the side of the road before recovering and returning to the peloton.

Get the Details: Summer's Surf-Inspired Accessories
In only her second year modeling, a then 15-year-old Niki Taylor graced more than a dozen pages in three separate fashion stories for ELLE's first issue of 1991. While the rest of us were sitting in a classroom worrying about tomorrow's geometry quiz, here, the sunkissed teen (who was also the issue's cover girl—her first of two for the year) takes her gingham Gottex bikini for a wade in St. Tropez waters in the Bardot-inspired swim shoot, "Baby Doll!" (January)
In the 39-page fashion epic "It's Spring Again!" ELLE staff stylist Fanny Pagniez dresses a model for a pretty portrait in head-to-toe Yohji Yamamoto, including an asymmetric, off-the-shoulder jumpsuit with rope detail ($2,310) and an "aerodynamic" white linen hat ($1,385) that I'm pretty sure Lady GaGa wouldn't kick out of bed.

Reese Witherspoon Cover Shoot
"We wanted to give the Comedian a really strong silhouette, so we created a muscle torso for the actor to wear, and on top of that there was a leather chest blade and shoulder armor. We wanted the sense that he was almost a walking ammunition carrier. He had all sorts of weapons and holsters that gave a sense of his lack of morality and willingness to laugh at humanity in the face."
"After I created the concept for Dr. Manhattan, we handed it over to the visual-effects department and they came up with the crazy black suit that Billy Crudup wore on set, which gave off that blue glow. Then later, the visual artists drew on the amazing muscled character that you see on-screen."

American voters want more public services than they are willing to pay for. That is the country's fiscal problem in one sentence. When it comes to public finance, the "live now, pay later" mentality that caused the economic collapse still prevails.
Figures show a strengthening recovery in the last quarter of 2009. Welcome as that may be, even a sustained expansion cannot balance the books in the longer term. On current policies, the permanent gap between spending and revenues is at least 6 per cent of output.
Will the administration's new budget help? Not really. The US budget is not a policy announcement, but a minutely detailed wish-list. The press reports it gravely, in suspended disbelief. Congress then ignores it in whole or in part depending on how the wind is blowing. President Barack Obama's new proposal, which Congress receives today, will say more about his reading of the political climate than about where fiscal policy is headed.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are total idiots
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt spent Valentine's Day eating on a sailboat. A docked sailboat – where they posed for the most ridiculously non-candid photos ever. Seriously, could these shots be any less natural? Why don't Heidi and Spencer do something like normal people? Go to a movie. Eat a candlelight dinner. Or have really awkward pity sex with your date because she watched you cry when the naval base wouldn't rent you a submarine with live torpedoes. All I wanted to do was fire at civilian targets code-named "Funbags" and "Douchehole." But I digress. What I'm really getting at is; I had sex last night. In your face!

Kaanapali Beach, Maui
Kaanapali Beach
- Name: Kaanapali Beach
- What: West Maui's Signature beach
- Where: Northwest Maui, about 50 minutes from Kahului Airport
With three miles of white sand and crystal clear water, it's no wonder why Kaanapali Beach was once named America's Best Beach. Fronting Kaanapali's hotels and resorts, this former retreat for the royalty of Maui is now a popular getaway for the world.
Kaanapali was Hawaii's first planned resort and has become a model for resorts around the globe. Five hotels and six condominium villages face this renowned beach. Also fronting Kaanapali is the open air Whalers Village, a world-class shopping complex that has a variety of exceptional shops and restaurants, a renowned whaling museum and free Hawaiian entertainment. Kaanapali also has two championship golf courses, the Royal Kaanapali and the Kaanapali Kai, where you may even see a breaching whale as you try to line up a shot.
One of Kaanapali Beach's most famous attractions is the daily cliff diving ceremony off of the beach's northernmost cliffs known as Puu Kekaa, or Black Rock. Held every evening at sunset, a cliff diver lights the torches along the cliff, diving off of Black Rock in a reenactment of a feat by Maui's revered King Kahekili. This memorable ceremony is just one more reason why Kaanapali Beach ranks as one of Maui's signature beaches.

Recipes, project instructions and photos used with permission of Christina Banner, author of How To Build A Gingerbread House: A Step-By-Step Guide to Sweet Results (Penny Publishing). For additional ideas from Christina Banner, visit her website: www.gingerbreadbuilding.com
Prepare Blonde Gingerbread Dough. Reserve 1/2 cup dough for crab. Roll out remaining dough 1/4 in. thick; using patterns cut 4 wall pieces and one 7 in. square roof piece; arrange on cookie sheets. Cut door opening out of one wall piece. Bake at 325°F 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.
Spatula ice cooled gingerbread house pieces, ice cream cones and sugar cubes with royal icing; immediately sprinkle with granulated brown sugar. Set aside and allow to dry completely.
Knead red icing color into reserved 1/2 cup gingerbread dough. For crab body, roll about 3 tablespoons dough into a ball; flatten to about 1 in. thick. Place on cookie sheet. Roll out remaining red dough 1/4 in. thick. Cut out 2 crab claws using pattern; place on cookie sheet with body. Bake at 325°F 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F; bake an additional 8-10 minutes until claws are baked but not browned. Remove claws from baking sheet. Return crab body to oven; bake an additional 15-20 minutes until body is firm. Cool all pieces completely, at least 4 hours.
On foil-covered plywood, assemble the four side walls, piping royal icing on base as well as where wall pieces join together; add additional royal icing on corners and along the inside walls at the bottom as needed. Prop walls with cans or bottles until dry. Allow at least 8 hours to dry before adding roof to sandcastle. Dry assembled house completely before decorating.
Attach "sanded" sugar cubes around the top of the sandcastle and on the top edge of walls using royal icing. Attach colored fruit chew candies, white mint chew candies and prepared sugar cubes to house corners with icing. Add additional chew candies to top edge of each wall, just below sugar cubes. Attach sugared ice cream cones, candy accents and "sanded" sugar cubes to top of sandcastle.
Attach a row of sugar cubes on each side of front door opening with royal icing, creating a diagonal row to the edge of the board. Attach second row of sugar cubes on top of first row. Insert crab body into doorway; attach legs to crab body, resting claw portion against fence.
Spatula ice base with royal icing; attach flat wafer candy walkway between fences; sprinkle brown sugar into areas between candy, pressing lightly. Sprinkle remainder of base with brown sugar. Attach candy seashells around castle.

Hey all,
Here in Indy, there is only one joint worth spending money at, Smokey Bones. Today, I had a combo of Pull Pork, Smoked Brisket and Smoked Sausage. It was very good. I could tell that they use a lot of chilli powder in the rub. I think rubs should have a spicey but unique taste and not so much of one thing that you can easily pick it out. It was so good in fact that I did not need any sauce (to me that real Q). What do you all think of Smokey Bones in your areas?

Medical Definition of Breast cancer susceptibility genes
Breast cancer susceptibility genes: Inherited factors that predispose to breast cancer. Put otherwise, these genes make one more susceptible to the disease and so increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Two of these genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, have been identified (and prominently publicized). Several other genes (those for the Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Cowden disease, Muir-Torre syndrome, and ataxia-telangiectasia) are also known to predispose to breast cancer. However, since all of these known breast cancer susceptibility genes together do not account for more than a minor fraction (1/5th at most) of breast cancer that clusters in families, it is clear that more breast cancer genes remain to be discovered.

When we received the invite to attend Malaysia Kitchen's first Rendang Cook-Off, I'll admit I had to Google what rendang even was. A favorite dish in Malaysian culture, rendang calls for lots of lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, chiles and various other spices. Although it's usually made with beef, the layers of flavor go well with any hearty, slow-cooked meat (and taste even better the next day).
To showcase the latest Asian dish to become popular in the United States, six New York City top chefs took over the Astor Center and went head-to-head in a rendang battle of the bites. Angelo Sosa, Anita Lo and Dale Talde of Top Chef fame, plus Shaun Hergatt of SHO, Todd English and Fatty Crab's Zak Pelaccio, each gave brief demonstrations showing off their culinary chops and chatting up the crowd with stories of their Malaysian travels.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/8/2014 (1084 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An 18-year-old is throwing his name into the mix in the school-board election in Transcona, but he doesn't want to be labelled as a youth candidate.
"Age really isn't an issue here, I believe that I'm mature enough to do this position," said Dakota Kochie, who graduated as valedictorian from Murdoch MacKay Collegiate in 2014.
"I have lots of experience doing policy planning, dealing with government at provincial and federal levels and just connecting with people on a face-to-face basis."
Kochie is seeking a school trustee spot in the River East Transcona School Division in Ward One while starting his first year at the University of Winnipeg in September, studying criminology and political science.
He is a key member of the Young Liberals of Canada's Manitoba chapter, said Manitoba Liberal Party leader, Rana Bokhari, who was surprised to hear Kochie was only 18 when reached by phone on Saturday -- she assumed he was 25 or 26.
"His level of maturity is way beyond 18," said Bokhari.
"He's pretty impressive. The guy's a leader, he's a go-getter and he's taking control."
Kochie said he will be the co-president of the Young Liberals group at the U of W come fall and will play football for the East Side Eagles of the Manitoba Major Football League this season. He attended a spring training camp with the University of Manitoba Bisons but suffered a concussion on the second day, cutting his season short. He hopes to make it back to play for the Bisons one day, but for now has shifted his focus to politics.
"I went for a school trustee spot because not only am I a pretty big person in my community, I just feel like it's a bridge into bigger and better things. I want to make a difference in the school system in River East and Transcona," Kochie said.
Kochie said he has spoken with many teachers at Murdoch MacKay about their thoughts on the division's needs; he's often at the school helping coach the football team. He would like to increase funding for developing student initiatives such as SCAAT (Students Creating Autism Awareness Together), a club he co-founded at Murdoch MacKay. SCAAT won a Yes I Can Award! from the Manitoba Council for Exceptional Children in 2014.
"Student programs like that might need a little bit more funding, even if it's just 50 bucks, that can help them to buy posters or supplies," Kochie said.
Kochie is the third youth candidate to declare his intentions to run for a school board position in the October 22 election. Tanjit Nagra, 18, and Candace Maxymovich, 20, are running for trustee positions in the Louis Riel School Division in Wards One and Four, respectively.
Having seen Maxymovich being attacked on Twitter because of her support for abstinence-only sex education, Kochie admitted he hesitated to use the social media site for campaigning. He recently deleted his personal Twitter page.
"Honestly, I commend her on what she did (speaking out), but my views obviously differ. My political relations are very liberal," Kochie said. "We should come to the realization that teens do have sex and we should be preparing them for those situations instead of backing away from them, which could lead to potentially unwelcome situations... I want to have a more modern approach to things."
