Yours truely add a char-griller super pro with side box to his collection. Yes Grand Scale has charcoal now! I've been thinking about taking the leap and between using it this weekend at the chili cookoff and BBcueZ's pictures of a grill full of chickens and my wife (bless her, she's a great woman) green lighting it sealed the deal. I have a new toy, I put it together last night and will be firing her up this evening to "burn out the gook". And yes I bought two chimney starters, a cover, a bag of hardwood lump and two bags of wood to go with it!
Now don't think I'm giving up mt "D"....NEVER.
And I'm still a gassman at heart, but there's room for a god's grill in my yard and I just so happend to have an itch that needed scratching and a space to fill and a wife that is very understanding of a junkies habits.

Get the Recipe
Ed. Note: Welcome to our newest column, Seasonal Sweets, where Jenny McCoy—pastry chef, ICE instructor, and author of Desserts for Every Season—will be sharing a recipe that highlights the best ingredients of the season. First up? Easy chocolate-banana croissants.
No, this recipe is not another cronut contender. It's just a super simple method for making delicious, buttery, and flaky croissants filled with fresh banana and semisweet chocolate batons. What could be better?
But first, I must make my apologies to Dorie Greenspan and Julia Child. I know they would understand my desire for simplicity, but I'm just not sure how they'd feel about me suggesting puff pastry dough instead of the traditional yeast-risen, laminated croissant dough that's been used for croissant-making for the last couple hundred years or so. But it was their recipe for croissant dough in Baking with Julia that nearly brought me to tears one Sunday morning about 15 years ago. Moving on...
This recipe is easy—it calls for only five ingredients (hooray!), and outside of what might be a moment of confusion when measuring and cutting your dough into triangles, it's a recipe you'll come to love.
Instead of making homemade croissant dough—which involves a multi-day process of layering dough and butter, rolling, and folding several it times to create all the distinctive layers in a croissant—you just use frozen puff pastry dough and voila! And for all your Francophile friends, just serve them your "faux-ssants" warm. So long as you use frozen puff pastry made will all butter and no shortening (read the ingredient label) they'll never know the difference.
About the author: Pastry Chef Jenny McCoy has worked in Chicago, New Orleans, and New York City for some of America's most beloved chefs. She is the author of Desserts for Every Season and currently teaches at ICE.edu. When she's not counting her lucky stars that she no longer works in restaurant kitchens, she's busy trying to convince home cooks that baking is easy and fun. Or she's running around working on a new line of baking mixes, shooting classes for Craftsy.com or a new show for the Food Network. Stay tuned @Jenny_McCoy for updates.

HOUSTON - Houston police said a man died after struggling with officers who then used a Taser to subdue him in east Houston.
The officers received a suspicious person call at the Interstate Motor Lodge in the 13000 block of the East Freeway near Rockglenn shortly after 2 a.m. The employee who called 911 said the man was acting strange, had "huge eyes" and asking for help. The employee said she tried several times to find out what he needed help with, but she never left her protected area.
When the officers arrived, they said they found a 38-year-old man acting erratically and believed he may have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Sgt. Robert Rohling said the man's hair was wet and he appeared to be sweating profusely. Houston Fire Department emergency personnel and police officers offered to help him, but he refused their assistance, investigators said.
When they tried to arrest him, they said the man resisted, so a Taser was used to subdue him. It took two shocks of the Taser to get him into custody. Police recovered a knife from his pocket.
During the struggle, police said the man was scraped up, so they called an ambulance. After he was placed on a gurney, the man struggled again, investigators said. While paramedics worked on the man, he went into cardiac arrest, officials said. He was rushed to East Houston Medical Center, where he died.
A medical examiner will determine the cause of the man's death.
The man's name was not released.
The case is under investigation.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/6/2011 (2255 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Can booze help fix the damage it does?
If the province used its monopoly on alcohol sales to levy an extra $1 on a case of beer or bottle of wine, that new revenue could almost triple spending on preventing and treating fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.
Right now, the province spends about $11.5 million a year trying to curb drinking by pregnant women and mitigating the spinoff effects of FASD -- crime, poverty, school failures, homelessness, drug abuse and ill health.
Manitoba's Liquor Marts sold roughly 20 million bottles of wine, cases of beer and bottles of spirits last year. A $1 levy on each unit could bring the provincial government's FASD-fighting budget to more than $30 million.
The NDP government is about to start selling beer and wine in some grocery stores, but it says the idea of an FASD levy is a non-starter.
Surprisingly, Manitobans are more supportive of the idea.
According to a poll conducted by Probe Research last fall, before the Winnipeg Free Press launched a series of feature stories on the invisible FASD epidemic, 62 per cent of Manitobans said they would support a $1 levy if the revenue was earmarked to help people with FASD. Another 36 per cent said they opposed the idea.
The idea has been percolating for years, with little uptake from government.
More than a decade ago, when Health Canada was conducting nationwide consultations on its old fetal alcohol syndrome strategy, almost every focus group and stakeholder meeting touted the idea of a tax levied on alcohol to provide sustained funding for programs and services for people with FASD.
In the United Kingdom, there's been a low-grade debate over booze pricing for several years, with health advocates arguing for hefty new taxes to help fund treatment programs and curb the country's growing rates of binge drinking. The U.K. has already raised taxes and duties on alcohol, especially potent ciders, mostly to help balance austerity budgets instead of funding treatment programs or FASD services.
Three years ago, British Columbia's top public heath doctor also pushed the idea of a levy on alcohol.
In a report on B.C.'s alcohol polices, provincial health officer Perry Kendall called for "a health-promotion levy" of five cents on every drink sold, which would have raised a whopping $100 million a year.
Kendall said the cash could be used to fund alcohol treatment centres, addiction prevention and FASD programs.
He singled out the need for early diagnosis, so kids with FASD get help early on, before they flunk out of school or worse.
The proposal fizzled though, as it has most times it's been put forward.
"The idea of increasing the cost of alcohol hasn't really caught fire with legislators," said Kendall. "There just isn't a lot of appetite in government to increase taxes on alcohol."
The Manitoba government reaped more than $230 million in profits from alcohol sales in 2009-2010. Healthy Living Minister Jim Rondeau said the province has more than doubled spending on FASD since its strategy to tackle the scourge was announced in 2007. Back then, the province spent only $5.2 million on prevention and treatment and programs. Now it spends more than $11 million, and Rondeau says that money comes indirectly from alcohol sales, without the need of a dedicated levy.
A separate tax would be cumbersome, he said.
Would you personally support or oppose having the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission charge customers an extra $1 on a case of beer or a bottle of spirits to fund support programs for individuals with FASD?
Strongly support: 38 per cent
Moderately support: 24 per cent
Moderately oppose: 12 per cent
Strongly oppose: 24 per cent
Unsure: 2 per cent
The poll was conducted by Probe Research for the Winnipeg Free Press using a random telephone sample of 1,002 Manitobans between Sept. 16 and Sept. 30, 2010. It is considered accurate within three percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
$11.5 million last year on dozens of initiatives, such as teacher's aides for kids with FASD, a special court program for young offenders with FASD, a diagnosis centre with a network in rural areas, FASD experts in every child welfare agency, a mentoring program for women at risk of having FASD children and more drug and alcohol treatment for women. Manitoba has one of the most comprehensive series of FASD programs in the country, but experts say hundreds of kids still go undiagnosed and fall through the cracks.
Shrink wait times at the diagnosis clinic:
It can take as long as 18 months for a child or teen to see the team of doctors, occupational therapists and social workers at the FASD Centre, the only place in Manitoba to get checked out for FASD. That often means families are left in limbo, struggling to cope with an unhappy child who isn't learning in school, acts out at home or risks getting in trouble with the law. More money would certainly help the clinic shrink wait times, but it's not quite that simple. Staff there say they also need to invest time training diagnosis staff, especially in rural areas, and making sure the right programs and services are in place for kids once they have a diagnosis.
Expand the Youth Justice Program:
Six years ago, lawyers and judges in youth court realized they were seeing the same kids over and over -- not bad kids, just ones who didn't seem to get it and couldn't stay out of trouble. That's when the Youth Justice Program started, to identify, diagnose and treat kids with FASD whose brain damage makes the criminal justice system just about the worst option. It's a program that's earned national attention for its focus on treatment rather than punishment. More than 455 kids have been referred, but only 125 kids have been assessed so far, partly due to a backlog. More space in the diagnosis clinic and a few more co-ordinators, especially outside Winnipeg, would likely save the province millions in needless crime and court costs.
Close the IQ loophole:
People with FASD often have normal or near-normal IQs, but their brain damage means they can't do many of the day-to-day tasks needed to live -- handling money, getting to work on time, planning ahead, staying focused. In most provinces, including Manitoba, to qualify for assisted living or special needs programs for the intellectually disabled, your IQ must fall below 70. That means many people with FASD don't qualify for help. Closing the loophole, especially for people with FASD, could help many for a modest cost.
Help adults:
The FASD battle is focused almost exclusively on kids because they're the most vulnerable and the most able to adapt with the right help. In most provinces, adults with FASD get the shaft. When people turn 18, a host of services provided by schools and the child welfare system often disappear and in Manitoba, adults can't get a diagnosis because the FASD Centre serves only children and teens. There is only one agency -- FASD Life's Journey -- that has programs tailored to adults with FASD who often end up homeless, unemployed, involved in crime or the sex trade and struggling with addictions. A levy on alcohol could make Manitoba a leader in FASD services for adults.

When Apple Inc. announced that users had downloaded over one billion applications from their website, it was clear a new industry had been born. This assumption was affirmed just six months later when the company announced that another billion apps had been downloaded. Finally, it was reaffirmed when another billion apps were downloaded, this time in only three months.
What is an app? Well, an app is really nothing more than a simple computer program that lets users perform a series of specified actions. For example, an app might let a user play a video game, search for directions, or send an email. As you might expect, different apps let people complete different tasks.
What are the best applications ? That is a pretty subjective question. But at the bare minimum, a good app should make your life a little easier. For example, there are navigational apps that can help you when you're lost in the woods and can't find your way home. There are also business or office apps that can keep you from embarrassing yourself in front of an important client.
Applications can be downloaded on the internet for a fixed, often nominal fee. Some of the larger companies like Apple also offer thousands of apps for free. If you are wondering which application to choose, an apps review site can be a big help.

Topic: 1 year, 8 months without Mom
Will there ever be a time when I stop counting down the months and years? I wish so much that my mother could see how my daughter has grown, tell her all the funny things my daughter does now that she's a big Kindergartener and has a list of boys who've asked her to marry them.
Mom always wanted to take her to Disney, and now we'll be going in November and I feel so sad that she won't be there. She was such a big kid - she could have lived at DisneyWorld and Universal Studios, laughing her way through all the rides. And sneaking Mallomars to my daughter all day.
I know these thoughts lead me nowhere, I just had to vent them. It takes so much out of me to forget, and it takes so much out of me to remember.

text: allnamestaken 498 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Been distracted by space-sims and elite-likes of late, so if you guys would humour some ideas? Taking into account a few requests on space-sims, the main one for this post is having a fully crewed ship ala Star Trek (or even Firefly) and a small side one is missions on foot, planetside, boarding actions, etc (to tie it in nicely with the crew, think Away-Missions). In most space sims you have the majority if not complete control over the ship your piloting, and I can see taking away a large portion of this control and handing it over to AI crew might lead more to frustration and annoyance. So my thoughts where based around how else having an able crew would benefit you in flying your ship. In the end I decided that crew would have abilities in up to 3 areas. Flight Support: Rather than taking over control they can enhance certain aspects to make life even easier for the captain (you). Independent Tasks: When left to their own devices with enough resources will go about doing useful things on the side that don't directly bump noses with flying the ship. Away Team Role: In the vain of Star Trek, you select members of your crew to accompany you on missions on the ground, forming squad under your command. So I imagined there needs to be reasons to choose different crew members with different roles. As such, crew come in a number of traditional classes and roles, each I wanted to give some of the above to (But some admittedly may miss out in areas such as flight support or away team role). I pictured crew gaining experience and 'levels/ranks' and becoming more efficient in their roles as well. So I was hoping you guys could help me out with ideas on abilities in these ability categories, as well as suggestions for other important crew I may have missed. MAIN CREW ROLES Navigator: Your expert on traveling through space. Flight Support: Perhaps maps out nearby star systems for you to jump to, the higher the rank the further out systems are mapped. Can be assigned to setting up routes and way points? Can find shortcuts and maybe necessary for traversing the likes of wormholes? Reduce the amount of fuel/energy it takes to FTL around? Independent Tasks: No idea really, can be given over control of the ship as a sort of superior autopilot? Away Team Role: Again no idea ... Tactician: Experts on capital ship combat (cap-ships being the kind of ships you would captain). Flight Support: Can be assigned to take over fire controls, perhaps you can distribute some weapons between yourself and your tactician, so he can concentrate on aiming turrets on fighters and such. With higher rank will be able to identify weak points on enemy ships for you. Gives you faster missile locks and such. And can perform alittle move I call 'shield blocking', if you remember the likes of X-Wing/Tie Fighter or Wing Commander you could redirect the power of your shields - forward, back, left, right etc, the shield block has the tactician quickly redirect power to take on incoming fire while your busy doing other things. Independent Tasks: Not sure, afraid I'm not giving any examples of what I mean here yet. Away Team Role: Again, not sure. Engineer: "I can not do'et captin, she needs more power!" This one is abit more fleshed out in its three roles. Flight Support: Mainly need to be assigned to what I'm calling 'Engineering Bays' where they will act to repair damage done to the ship. At higher ranks they repair faster and can come up with ship overhauls/overclocks? Like getting more boost out of the shields, guns, engines. Independent Tasks: Finally an example, on your ship you can create 'workshops' and assign engineers to them, where they will manufacture new equipment and upgrades from resources gathered (Sort of like X-Com's bases with their workshops). Away Team Role: The engineer will be a support role on the ground, able to repair equipment (vehicles?) and possibly construct certain buildings (monitoring posts, outposts, auto-turrets?). Scientist: So as one performs away missions and collects 'data' and explores anomalies in space the scientist takes that info and creates new toys and technology for you. Flight Support: The opposite to the others so far, I have little idea what the scientist does to help you midflight. I considered having them give occasional advice when encountering new planets or spacial anomalies "It would be unwise to fly into that supernova Captain". Independent Tasks: Very much like the engineer, I picture part of the game is collecting research materials and artifacts on away missions, your scientist sits around trying to unlock the mysteries and will eventually give you a new technology that your engineers can often manufacture something from (Again, your ship is kind of like an X-Com base in my idea). Away Team Role: Not entirely sure, I imagine they could detect and identify research materials and artifacts you encounter on the ground letting you collect the more valuable items "No Captain that is not an alien death-ray ... its a spoon, made in china it says". Possibly they can also give advice on dangerous environments and lifeforms as you explore, or simply taking them along increases their research output. Physician: The one who puts the rest of your crew back together after something tries to burst out of their chest. Doctors who provide medical assistance to the rest of the crew. Flight Support: No idea, apart from administering to injured crew in battles and such. Independent Tasks: Will typically work in the sick bay healing up the crew, possibly battling any dangerous alien viruses you may pick up along the way. A side idea was that they could at later ranks do stuff like cybernetics and such. Away Team Role: Easily enough the physician is your team medic while on away missions. Security: Typically big tough bruisers who are the first to get a hold of the ray guns and kick some ass. Your soldiers and such. Flight Support: Again, no idea what they would do for you while you fly around space. I suppose defending the ship from boarding actions (if those where to be implemented) or performing boarding actions. Independent Tasks: Again not sure, I considered having them 'police' your crew to perhaps keep they from getting up to mischief and mutiny. Away Team Role: I imagine you would always take some security along, equipped with weapons and armour to protect you and any others from any dangers, and on the occasion when you are leading a military style operation on a planet. Comms?: A role I was unsure of including, communications officer who deals with ... well communications. Flight Support: When I thought on it I decided that they could possibly be a sort translator/diplomat when you contact other vessels or aliens, a higher ranked comms will give you much more diplomatic and persuasive conversation options when dealing with them, or know exactly the best way to threaten a Graqf into surrendering. Possibly they would also need time to translate alien languages before you could communicate with them (higher ranks would translate faster). Independent Tasks: Eavesdropping and spying on transmissions between other ships and letting the captain know about that secret attack on Planet Z, possibly this lets you pick up extra 'missions' without having to poke around so many space bars. Away Team Role: Again, no idea. OTHER CREW ROLES Pilots: If any one has played Battlecruiser Millennium you had a number of smaller fighters and shuttles aboard your ship, basically pilots would fly these. Since these aren't part of what I consider the 'main' crew I didn't think they needed a role beyond that. Steward/Cook?: The only other one that came to mind, would I suppose improve crew morale depending on their rank? Thats all I have for now, any thoughts/suggestions?

Today's lesson in tech stupidity -- and much uglier topics -- is brought to us by Thomas Weindl, former principal of the Whispering Palms School in Saipan, which is located in the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands.
The lesson, in a nutshell: If you're a school principal, you should not go out on the Web looking for kiddie porn. (Nor should anyone else, obviously.) But if you decide to do that anyway for reasons that surpass understanding, you shouldn't do it using a laptop containing spyware installed by the FBI.

Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Kashmir Hill, author of The Not-So Private Parts blog for Forbes, has the skinny. It seems federal agent Joe Auther's seventh-grade son was a student at Whispering Palms and had been issued a laptop by the school. Auther, suspicious by nature, installed SpectorSoft's eBlaster software on the laptop. This $100 piece of spyware can email reports every hour on everything the kid is doing with that computer, including Web surfing histories and any keystrokes entered.
When the school year ends, Auther wants to return the laptop to the school minus any data or software. He brings it to a local computer shop to have the hard drive wiped and reformatted before turning it back in. Apparently, tech shops in Saipan have a different definition of "wipe" -- a couple of weeks later, Auther starts getting more emails from eBlaster. This time, it's telling him someone has been searching for kiddie porn and has visited sites containing same.
This is the point where concerned parent Auther turns into concerned federal agent Auther. He tries to track down who's using the laptop to seek out illegal images. His first suspect is Principal Weindl -- because Weindl has a stepdaughter who matches the profile of the images he was searching for. (I warned you this would get ugly.)
This is also where the story gets a little weird. Instead of opening an official FBI investigation, Auther decides to try and run a sting on the principal, whom he knows socially. Per Hill:
Auther then called Weindl, pretending he wanted to buy the laptop, to find out whose possession the computer was in. Weindl claimed the laptop had been returned to the Public School System, an agency that provides federally funded laptops to students at public and private schools, and lets them keep them if they graduate. Auther continued his informal investigation. He stopped by the PSS office, where he showed his FBI credentials, and found out the laptop had not in fact been returned. He also contacted his Internet service provider to see if it could tell him, based on IP information in the eBlaster report, where the laptop was being used. They refused to disclose that to him, even though "he may have shown his FBI credentials" to them.
Meanwhile, Auther continued to get email alerts from eBlaster indicating illegal activity. Eventually he brought another fed in and notified the local attorney general. The two agents confronted Weindl in his office, who then admitted to searching for the illegal images to satisfy his "morbid curiosity" but claimed he'd then broken the laptop into pieces and "tossed it into the jungle."

Willie Randolph said there's not a gag order on pitching coach Rick Peterson talking with the media.
Nonetheless, The Jacket answers every question with instructions to ask public relations. PR guru Jay Horwitz said there is "no edict" for Peterson not to talk. However, The Jacket is the only uniformed member of the organization who demands interviewers to get permission.
My conclusion is somebody isn't telling the truth. Either Willie resents him talking, which became an issue last year when we tried to talk to Peterson about the rotation, or Peterson has "misremembered" and is using it as an excuse not to talk.
The fact is when it comes to their pitching the Mets have more issues than five years of Time magazine and that's Peterson's responsibility.

The conference was held by the Bright Future Institute and scholars from all over the world participated in it. The participants stressed the importance of awaiting Mahdi and keeping this issue on the agenda and stated once again in the light of the hadith that the world will attain a time of real justice, love and peace in his time. (You can see photographs of the conference held in the year 2010 here.)

Global Game Jam enthusiasm keeps growing
Staged in Vancouver and in countries around the world this weekend, the event lets participants flex their intellectual and creative muscles
The east atrium of UBC's Life Sciences Centre is going to be a hive of activity this weekend. The location of Vancouver's fifth annual Global Game Jam will be abuzz with upwards of 250 professionals and students creating brand-new video games over the course of 48 hours.
The event is produced by Kimberly Voll, an instructor at the Centre for Digital Media at the Great Northern Way Campus. The software engineer helps organize and host other jams and hackathons, but she calls the Global Game Jam the "flagship" event of the local software industry's year.
"People show up with inflatable mattresses, they bring their gaming rigs, they bring all sorts of snacks and different things," Voll told the Georgia Straight by phone from her office. "When you get to this size, it's a little bit of a technological shantytown that forms over a weekend. It's incredible to see the bonds and connections and the sense of community that cuts through the whole event."
It's also large enough that some sponsors have taken to setting up information tables and recruiting at the event. According to Voll, job interviews and even offers came out of last year's jam. She noted that companies have been started around games created at the jam and that more than a few of those games have been further developed for release.
The Global Game Jam concept was conceived by Susan Gold, who was inspired by the Nordic Game Jam, an annual event that has taken place in Copenhagen since 2006. In a phone interview, Gold told the Straight she brought the idea to North America and expanded it globally in 2009. At the time, she was an instructor at the Centre for Digital Media, and she held one of the first events at Simon Fraser University.
Four years later, more than 10,000 people have participated, creating more than 2,000 games worldwide. The 2013 Global Game Jam is being staged at 270 locations in 58 countries around the world this weekend. Gold noted that there is a game jam of some sort somewhere in the world nearly every weekend, and the format is being used to solve problems and as a means for teams to challenge themselves. According to Gold, even studios are using the structure of the jam to come up with ideas
and prototypes for new games.
"We aren't just for students anymore," said Gold, who now teaches at Full Sail University, near Orlando.
Gold views game jams as "transformative" experiences that are changing the way people work. She's not advocating the work binge as a daily occurrence, but as an occasional tool that can drive creativity. "It's about people flexing the intellectual and creative parts of themselves," she said.
It all starts Friday evening (January 25). A global keynote video presentation will reveal to participants the theme for the event. After that, the assembled will get to know each other over a catered dinner. Then comes the rapid-fire pitch session, in which people with game ideas share them with the group in an attempt to attract interested developers.
"And then we let natural selection basically take care of the rest," Voll said. She and the volunteers help to find places for the unattached, and fill the essential positions on newly formed teams. "And then they're off and running."
Voll said that work then begins in earnest and usually proceeds late into Friday night, with most people going home to sleep. The first part of Saturday, when participants still feel like they've got lots of time, tends to be more relaxed. But by Saturday night, Voll said, people realize they have to finish their projects in less than 24 hours. "It's very common to do a Saturday night all-nighter," she added. Work stops at 3 p.m. on Sunday.
While judges check out the games that have been created, participants eat pizza. "I hate calling them judges," Voll said, "because the idea is to have everybody's game played and some feedback given." It's a way to acknowledge the work that's been done, she added, and a reward for the effort. The Global Game Jam is explicitly not a competition, Voll said. She has witnessed teams helping each other out to solve problems, something she said wouldn't happen if groups were competing against each other.
Voll, who has been running Global Game Jam Vancouver since 2010, said that since making games is hard, by coming together to help one another, developers can create more and better games.
"That's what we want," Voll said. "We want to make more games and we want to push the state of the art—realize, in a lot of cases, a lot of personal dreams."

more Sony Xperia tipo dual videos
Sony Xperia tipo dual is a low-end Android smartphone suitable for first-time smartphone owners. It comes in a dual-SIM flavo and has a 3.2-inch HVGA (320x480) display made out of scratch-resistant mineral glass. Inside it runs an 800MHz single-core Qualcomm processor, and on the back we have a 3.2-megapixel camera. What is really worth noting, however, is that the Xperia tipo is equipped with a 1,500mAh battery, which should deliver over 24 hours of continuous usage time, according to Sony.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/5/2013 (1550 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The leader of a Manitoba emergency services agency under a federal probe booked a Vancouver trip for himself and a woman, where the two shared a hotel room for a week last October.
The next month, the same leader, CEO Daren Mini, and seven others took another all-expenses-paid trip to Toronto for a national conference hosted by ground search and rescue.
Both trips took place within a month of each other and both were on the taxpayers' dime, internal documents bearing the Manitoba Association of Native Fire Fighters official letterhead state.
The agency, in charge of services for nearly 2,000 displaced First Nations flood evacuees since 2011, is the same one that's at the centre of a federal investigation. That probe is looking at allegations that funds earmarked for flood victims were misappropriated and hotels are owed millions of dollars.
Documents obtained by the Free Press show staff at MANFF questioned both trips but didn't do anything to stop them.
The disclosures are the latest in a paper trail of financial irregularities and questionable decisions the Free Press reported a month ago when Ottawa announced its investigation.
Also part of the probe are allegations of family favouritism, fraudulent mileage claims, hundreds of hours of questionable overtime, excessive catering costs and even suspicion that a break-in and theft of at least $6,000 in cash in September 2012 was an inside job.
'We will not tolerate the abuse of tax dollars. That is why we have asked an independent investigator to look into the allegations and report back to us'-Andrea Richer, spokeswoman for Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt
Ottawa is looking at the trips as junkets.
"These are serious allegations and any evidence to support them will be turned over to the police," said Andrea Richer, a spokeswoman in the office of Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt.
"We will not tolerate the abuse of tax dollars. That is why we have asked an independent investigator to look into the allegations and report back to us," Valcourt's spokeswoman said.
Both trips were recorded in a massive dossier compiled by former MANFF flood liaison officer Ted Ducharme over a period of two years.
Ducharme ultimately confronted senior management and the board chair with his suspicions and then turned it over to federal authorities in May. He no longer works at MANFF.
The Free Press has a copy of the dossier.
In an interview Wednesday, Ducharme said neither trip could be justified by financial records at MANFF.
He called the Toronto conference "a big drunk on the taxpayers' dime" and the Vancouver trip a romantic getaway for the CEO and the woman.
In a report Ducharme filed on MANFF letterhead dated Nov. 15, 2012, he recorded that eight senior staff flew to Toronto to take part in a national ground search and rescue competition, where they ultimately placed near the bottom in a skills competition.
The trip lasted "four or five days," he said.
"They were texting us back about sightseeing tours to Niagara Falls, Toronto and other venues. They sent us back pictures of MANFF staff drunk and passed out on the plane home. How do we pay our flood hotels when they are spending evacuee flood funds like it is going out of style?" Ducharme said in his report.
His report also cites complaints that Mini took the woman, also a MANFF worker, on a week-long romantic getaway to Vancouver "under the guise of MANFF business" and they shared a single hotel room for the entire trip.
Meanwhile, Peguis Chief Glenn Hudson, one of two chiefs appointed by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, quit his board position at MANFF last week, citing time constraints.
On Wednesday, he delivered a spirited defence of the agency.
MANFF was set up to train firefighters on First Nations and found itself with the monumental task of running a permanent flood relief agency without proper staff or funding, he said.
"These complaints, these claims that started the whole process? It was our people who are in the best position to operate these services but the whole set-up? It's the system that's fundamentally flawed. It's the federal government that doesn't fund them accordingly. At the end of the day, it's MANFF that's looked at as the scapegoat for the problems," he said Wednesday.
Since spring 2011, when flooding across southern Manitoba forced thousands of First Nations residents from their homes, MANFF has been the agency that registers evacuees and arranges their accommodations. It was set up in the 1990s to train firefighters on First Nations after devastating northern forest fires.
Under memorandums of understanding with Manitoba and Ottawa, MANFF pays the invoices and sends them to the province for reimbursement. Manitoba sends the bills to the federal Department of Public Safety under disaster financial assistance. Public Safety collects its payouts from Aboriginal Affairs. So far, Manitoba has reimbursed MANFF for close to $78 million for the 2011 evacuations.
Agency responds
In a statement from spokesman Jimmy Mac, MANFF insisted late Wednesday both trips were legitimate:
"Further to your email earlier today, I want to ensure that you are aware of the facts relating to the issues you are pursuing in your story for tomorrow's paper.
"Though you did not confirm your source or any documentation you may or may not have, which we respect, you should be aware that there is no basis to the allegations being made. For instance, the event in Toronto was a Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) conference and exercise that was paid for by MANFF out of its program development budget, funded by AANDC.
"This professional development is critical to our communities as it keeps us current and better prepared to deal with all kinds of emergency incidents. Further, it is important to note that flood monies are held in a totally separate account.
"In terms of the trip to Vancouver, that was to attend the ninth annual Canadian Risk and Hazards Network Symposium and the National Platform Roundtable for the Resilient Communities Working Group (RCWG) Strategic Planning Meeting.
"Again, attendance at this event was budgeted for out of program development, funded by AANDC, and was an important opportunity for us to focus on emergency planning and networking with colleagues from across the country.
"Thank you for the opportunity to respond to these false and harmful allegations."

Once again another black life is brought tragically to an end by the racist police force. The NAACP is demanding answers to how it is possible that Tarika Wilson could end up dead and her infant child Sincere wounded. `
According to the New York Times, "A SWAT team arrived at Ms. Wilson's rented house in the Southside neighborhood early in the evening of Jan. 4 to arrest her companion, Anthony Terry, on suspicion of drug dealing, said Greg Garlock, Lima's police chief. Officers bashed in the front door and entered with guns drawn, said neighbours who saw the raid.
Moments later, the police opened fire, killing Ms. Wilson, 26, and wounding her 14-month-old son, Sincere, Chief Garlock said. One officer involved in the raid, Sgt. Joseph Chavalia, a 31-year veteran, has been placed on paid administrative leave."
Chavalia has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanour counts of negligent homicide and negligent assault. He faces up to eight months in jail if convicted of both counts. An all-white jury was selected Monday with a black woman and a white woman as alternates. He is certainly getting a jury of his peers while once again the fate of violence against a black woman is being determined by whites. How in good conscience can we trust them to give us justice in a system that is so racially imbalanced as to constitute a farce? Considering the level of the charges stemming from the death of a woman and the injury of her child I feel that it is fair to say that regardless of the outcome Tarika will not receive justice. Is it any wonder that her mother is filled with rage?

Topic: Adjuvant therapy - retrospective study - GI ASCO 2013
Kosin Wirasorn, Thundon Ngamprasertchai, Narong Khantikaew, Ake Pakkhem, Piti Ungarereevittaya, Jarin Jindaprasert, Aumkhae Sookprasert; Department of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand; Department of Surgery, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand; Department of Pathology, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand
Background: Cholangiocarcinoma patients usually have poor treatment outcome and high mortality rate. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy is controversy. Our study aimed to evaluate benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy in resectable cholangiocarcinoma patients. Methods: A retrospective study included 263 patients who underwent curative resection in Srinakarind university hospital. These patients had pathological report with clear margin (R0) or microscopic margin (R1). Results: There were 138 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. This group had significantly lower mean age than patients without chemotherapy (57.7 ± 8.5 vs. 60.4 ± 9.0 years, p = 0.01). Level of serum albumin above 3g/dL was more common in adjuvant chemotherapy group than another one (87.7% vs. 79.2%, p = 0.04). Patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy had significantly longer overall median survival time (21.6 vs. 13.4 months, p = 0.01). Patients with combination of gemictabine and capecitabine regimen had the longest survival time (median overall survival time of gemcitabine and capecitabine 31.5, 5-FU and mitomycin 17.3, 5-FU alone 22.2, capecitabine alone 21.6, and gemcitabine alone 7.9 months, p = 0.02). Benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy were likely to be found in patients who had high risk features, i.e. high level of CEA, high level of CA19-9, advanced stage, T4 stage, nodal involvement and R1 margin. Conclusions: Adjuvant chemotherapy may significantly prolong survival time in resectable cholangiocarcinoma patients, particularly the high risk group.

The stick-and-ball sports have their All-Star games but they are usually more a social event than a hard-fought competition. NASCAR's version places the past season's best teams against each other with the winner leaving with at least a million dollars in their pocket.
With that much money on the line, the claws usually come out as each driver pushes the envelope to win that prize money for their team. The famous "Pass in the Grass" where Dale Earnhardt Sr. nearly spun through the infield in an attempt to get by Bill Elliott is evidence of the intensity of the on-track action.
With no points on the line, the strategy is simple. You either bring home the trophy or you don't bring it home. For most drivers, it's checkers or wreckers in this event.
The All-Star race first came on the scene in 1985 with Darrell Waltrip taking the million-dollar prize. The eligibility requirements have changed some over the years but a few things have remained the same.
Drivers that have won a NASCAR Sprint Car point race in the last season or the All-Star Race in the last 10 years are automatically in the field. Sprint Cup Champions that do not fill the initial requirements are also eligible if their championship is within the last 10 years.
Some Sprint Cup stars will have to race their way into the field by winning or finishing second in the Pre Race Showdown event. Martin Truex Jr. is one of those drivers who has had success this season but no victories. He will be one of the favorites to race his way into the All-Star.
"I feel like we should win that race. Anything less would be a disappointment," commented Truex on his chances of getting into the Main Event. "We're going there guns loaded trying to do all we can do, and hopefully we'll come out on the right side of it this time."
Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon hold the all-time win record for the All-Star race among active drivers. Dale Earnhardt Sr. joins them with three victories in Feature Event.
Seven different organizations have won NASCAR's Sprint All-Star Races since 1997 but surprisingly, Joe Gibbs Racing is not one of them. However, the coach has two of the hottest drivers on the circuit driving his cars this time around in Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch so this should be his best chance to get into the winner's circle.
With so much money and pride on the line, you won't see drivers taking it easy like you do in other sports. They will be up on the wheel each lap, battling to bring home the win. It should be a great night.

Mazen - Monday, January 28, 2008 - linkThanks for that article. I would love to see you guys pushing these cards at 2560x1600 resolution when decoding a H.264 or VC-1 to see if they are powerful enough to manage 1600p. I think that AMD put out in their press release that the 3450 will have hiccups at 1440p but that the 3470 will be able to manage that resolution just fine. Can we please please (pretty please) see if these card will handle decoding at that resolution? Reply
dvijaydev46 - Thursday, January 24, 2008 - linkWhy isn't there a review on those newest ATI products yet? legitreviews has responded to it long ago. Reply
eye smite - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkFirst of all, yesterday on dailytech the sister site to this one, in the daily reviews section are websites already reviewing the HD3870X2 card and it showing in most benchmarks a noticeable lead of the top nvidia card.
Second, if ATI gives anandtech a card to test last, who can blame them. I mean after all they published a review on the phenom that was more a rant than a review on the cpu. I say up the ra to the editors and writers at anand. I come here for a good laugh from time to time, but reading your articles for the last few months has me rating you in the same class as gizmodo and what they did at CES 2008.

StormEffect - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkI'm also curious how these cards will compete with the current Nvidia low and mid range cards. Until the G92 refresh hits those segments, it looks like ATI will be leading those markets.
Also, the 3870 X2 utilizes internal crossfire. Games do not need crossfire compatibility to run on the 3870 X2. The card appears as a single GPU to the OS. There are already reviews for the 3870 X2, and it looks as though ATI has taken the crown in a few benchmarks. Reply
djc208 - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkI'm looking forward to how these actually handle HD playback. I stayed away from the 2400 in my HTPC because the benchmarks said it wasn't quit powerful enough for HD playback.
If the $50 3450 can handle H.264 playback at HDTV resolutions with no issues I can skip the $250 SageTV HD extender and use that money for the new Hauppage HD capture card and one of these instead. Reply
Slash3 - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkI4U has a review of the Radeon HD 3450 HTPC (passive cooling, low profile) up here:
It looks like it offloads a significant amount of the video decoding to the GPU, and could be the perfect HTPC card for a lot of people. Reply
themadmilkman - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkDo these cards REALLY need active cooling? Judging by the size of the heatsink and fan, and the size of heatsinks on other cards that have been replaced with passive cooling, it doesn't seem like these cards would actually need to be actively cooled.
I may be wrong, of course, since conjectures based off of one chart and a few pictures are often wrong. But if the 3650 performs well (I'm currently running a 7600GS, it should definitely be an upgrade) and a silent version is produced, I may have a new card. Reply
murphyslabrat - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkHowever, sometimes a few whiffs of aluminum and a 30mm fan can be a cheaper way to achieve a certain BTU rating than pure aluminum. However, you can be assured that there will be passively cooled models, but they'll just cost a wee bit more.
All in all, this is essentially what I was expecting. Nothing really new, just shrunken a little and given a more efficient naming scheme. Let's hear it for AMD. Reply
themadmilkman - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkThe extra price is certainly worth it to me. I guess more than anything I'm hoping that the passively-cooled version isn't too large. A 1-slot solution would be ideal.
I guess we'll see on Monday. Reply
themadmilkman - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkIt looks like the 3450 is a half-height card, or at least available as one? And available passively cooled stock. I can imagine that becoming very popular with the HTPC crowd. Reply
legoman666 - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkindeed. If a 8800GT can be passively cooled, then these cards can be passively cooled. Reply
Sunrise089 - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkI though you were gone from AI Derek - it seems like Anand has written all the recent GPU articles.
Looking forward to the dual-3870 card review any hour now... Reply
Furen - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkIf rumors are right, try next monday :P Reply
TechLuster - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkYeah, the Inquirer is reporting a delay to next Monday.
However, Tom's Hardware "mistakenly" posted their review a couple hours ago, but they've since taken it down. The only benchmarks I got a chance to look at were of Crysis, where the 3870 X2 was leading the 8800 Ultra on high settings w/ no AA. Here are the numbers they got:
8800 Ultra: 32.6
3870: 23.3
8800 Ultra: 27.1
3870: 19.2
They also gave figures with AA (which typically doesn't and didn't in this case favor the R600 architecture), but these generally weren't playable, and Crysis is a game that looks OK without AA. Considering that Crysis tends to favor the 8800 over the 3800 by more than the average disparity between these cards, I think these numbers bode well for the 3870 X2.
I kind of figured at the time that the review would probably be taken down, and I considered opening all the windows in tabs so that I'd have all the info before it disappeared. Now I'm kicking myself. Oh well, it's five more days. Reply
- Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkThere is a review here: http://www.fpslabs.com/reviews/video/amd-radeon-hd...">http://www.fpslabs.com/reviews/video/amd-radeon-hd... Reply
shabby - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkI thought crossfire didnt work on crysis yet, so the 3870x2 should only be as fast as one 3870.
Btw how do these new cards differ from the 2400/2600, or are they just renamed ones? Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkDerek's not gone... he just doesn't respond well to pneumonia (among other things). Welcome back to the land of the living - try to stick around a while! Reply
crimson117 - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linkJarred, in the future it would be kind of you to keep Derek's antivirus signatures up to date. Reply
DerekWilson - Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - linklol ... i had a flu and a pneumonia shot (didn't even know you could get those) that should cover me for the next year (flu) and 10 years (pneumonia) ...
10 years will be way too soon if I get pneumonia again tho. I like breathing.
Also, thanks for welcoming me back. I think I'll go actually start my blog now too ... Reply

Your online customers are increasingly relying on their tablets and smartphones to research products they want to buy, and to complete their purchases. "Couch commerce," where shoppers are using their portable devices to take their online shopping away from their desks, has grown steadily over the past several months: according to IBM's Black Friday and Cyber Monday Reports from late 2011, sales from mobile devices were three times higher in 2011 than 2010. The New York Times also reported that tablets gained prominence with online holiday shopping, as 75% of web shoppers made purchases on their tablets and 94% on their laptops. Some experts predict that tablets will ultimately replace the desktop as a preferred method for purchasing online.
To make sure your customers are just as enthusiastic about your own mobile storefront(s), you should smooth out the navigational and search bumps that can get in the way of fast, easy browsing and shopping – and what you do for a smartphone shopper can differ substantially for tablet shoppers. The technical specifications of both devices require separate strategies for developing ways to help customers browse and find products. Tablets in general offer certain benefits over smartphones as the screens are bigger, which means content and images are easier to read and see.
The tips below are just a few ideas for what retailers can do to improve the user experience of their tablet and smartphone shopping sites by delivering a tailored search and navigation experience.
Assess image selection and zooming capability: Do your product photos rely heavily on a shopper's ability to zoom in on images, select parts of images, or click back and forth among sets of images? Because tablet users use fingertip taps and swipes to select images and content, make sure you design the user experience to take these gestures into account. Allow users to pinch images, rotate them with their fingers, and hold their fingers on or tap an image to load a bigger image. Consider adding these capabilities right within search results pages. Allowing users to "play" with the product images in search results pages makes a lot of sense – users can examine a product and compare product options directly from the search page, where additional refinements and sort options are also available.
Rethink navigation elements for tablets and smartphones: As with images, tapping the screen is the standard method of navigation for tablets, and for most smartphones as well. However, small text menus – for instance, those that you might find in lists of refinements – are hard to tap on without hitting another menu item by mistake. The same goes for buttons that are too close together, or pagination numbers: these items are easy to click on with a mouse, but challenging to click on with a finger.
Consider making sure text font size and action buttons for tablets and smartphones are bigger than what you would normally use on your regular website. One good presentation idea is a drop-down menu, which gives users full refinement capability while saving screen space by hiding options when they are not in use. This helps reduce visual clutter on the mobile site, since visitors can view more products and content without having to scroll down.
Search page results should also follow device-specific guidelines. For instance, on a smartphone shopping site's search results page, make sure to use only one column in order to maximize the use of the limited space. Include clear thumbnail images, with product name, short description, and price. On your tablet shopping site search results page, you should use two or three columns in a grid view compared to the three, four, or five you might use on your regular web shopping site. Better yet, allow users to choose the number of grid columns on your tablet shopping site, with a simple swipe of the finger!
Help shoppers do their research – and find the "Buy" button quicker. Consumers using smartphones are sometimes referred to as "hunters," since they're usually doing product research or hunting for the best price. For instance, these browsers might be looking for store location and hours, finding out if a particular product is in stock – or looking for a better price online while in a brick-and-mortar store. So how do you turn these browsers into shoppers? One way is to encourage them to shop by rendering the "shop" step easy and natural. This can be done by adding a "Buy" button on the search results page right under the product description or image. Consider showing discounted prices to encourage browsers to become shoppers. Simplifying the checkout process, by reducing the numbers of steps, is also recommended.
Also, make it easy for smartphone users to find localized information, such as product availability near their present location, with simple "In Stock" or "Available Nearby" buttons that take them to the "Buy Now" page directly form the search results page.
On the other hand, when your customers are using tablets to browse your storefront, they're often sitting comfortably on their couch and are ready to commit to a purchase. In fact, 49% of tablet owners say they plan to buy more via their devices in the coming year, compared with 19% of smartphone owners, according to a study from Zmags and Equation Research. Make sure your search and navigation tools help speed the path from browsing to buying for tablet users – for instance, indicate whether products are in stock or out of stock in search results, so that shoppers can quickly find a product that's available now.
Give prominent placement to the search box – and add a search box to the bottom of the page. While tablet users benefit from more screen real estate, they can still use some help in finding the search box. For both smartphone and tablet storefronts, make sure the search box is large and easy to find. On Gotapparel's mobile site, the search box takes up much of the space on the home page, which makes sense – it should be more prominent than the search box that appears on your standard online storefront. For smartphone users, it helps to add an extra search box at the bottom of webpages. This allows shoppers to easily continue exploring the site without having to scroll back up to the top.
The smartphone and tablet landscape is changing rapidly, as new models flood the market and capabilities improve. At the same time, consumers show increasing willingness to shift their browsing and buying habits to these convenient devices. Keep a close eye on website analytics that can tell you which devices shoppers are using when they browse your site and when they make a purchase – and make sure they're indulging in the best possible m-commerce or couch commerce experience.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
The sales pipeline is the lifeblood of any business. It's a well-known fact: organizations live and die by the numbers, regardless of the product, service or solution. So, the defining question for any company is: Is your sales engine working?
There are consultants, managers, technologies and teams of sales reps already at work in your organization. So, it's time to take a moment to take a fresh look at how everything's actually coming together.
How do you do that? Start with four straightforward questions to pinpoint inefficiencies. If you answer, "yes" to any one of these questions, your sales process could be broken and ineffective:
Is my technology dated? If you're using Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, or Excel spreadsheets to directly communicate with your prospects, you could be losing valuable time, as well as failing to capture the full conversation. Often, Word documents can't capture all the information that was discussed during a sales meeting or a presentation, nor does a single Word document hold all the various versions of a proposal or contract. On the other hand, they can very easily overwhelm by providing too much of the wrong kind of information.
Am I unsure which documents are the most current version with the up-to-date content? One of the most important parts of the sales process is keeping up-to-date content in front of your prospect. With a distributed sales force and a large amount of marketing and sales content, file management can become a nightmare. The last thing you need is a team member using a 5-year-old corporate overview or the case study from a former client. You need to have confidence that your team has the most current content, that everything you deliver is consistent with your brand, and that you have control over the sales message. If you don't, not only does it make you look disorganized, but you could have a serious liability issue when the wrong messages are being sold to your clients.
Am I managing important conversations and documentation through email? Email is not a sufficient way to store important conversations about deals and negotiations. While it's useful to easily communicate during a deal, emails can get jumbled or taken out of context and lead to miscommunication. The worst part about utilizing email to keep track of conversation history is that, more often than not, you are only corresponding with one or two of the people negotiating the deal, rather than all decision-makers involved. How can you be sure all important parties and stakeholders are aware of the conversation? Further, how can you be sure you've heard the opinions of everyone?
Do I lack visibility in the lifecycle of our sales documents? Collaborating with an internal team to build your presentations and proposals can lead to version-control chaos, wasting countless hours of your team's time. Once delivered to your prospect, the back-and-forth nature of proposal and contract negotiation creates opportunity for human error and unnecessary delays in the sales process. Your team needs to be able to collaborate in real-time with each other throughout the sale, and you owe it to your clients to implement a system that makes it easy for you to do business with.
New tools and technologies are available today that allow you to gain more visibility into how prospects are interacting with your documents. Knowing if and when a prospect views your contract and what they spend the most time looking at can impact the direction of every conversation to follow.
When it comes down to it, understanding the current state of your sales enablement strategy is key to managing a well-oiled sales engine. It also makes it easy to see why your proposals may not be converting. What sales teams need today isn't able to be achieved with archaic processes and 20th century tools.
Consider implementing a sales enablement software solution to help you track presentation, proposal and contract activity, versions and collaborative processes. This will get you on track to being able to answer "no" to the questions above, resulting in a more organized and efficient sales process. Sales and marketing engines that stand the test of time are those that keep up with the influences that technology has on our already fast-paced business environment.

Meatless Monday is a global movement, a way of life. It's not a campaign to turn everyone in the world vegetarian or vegan; in fact, many involved are meat-lovers. Eating less meat has been proven to reduce the risk of disease, curb obesity and has important environmental impacts, too. Will you join us in giving up meat, just for one day a week?
Good sandwiches aren't just for meat lovers. It's time to think beyond hot pastrami and grilled chicken. When it comes to sandwich fixings, the sky's the limit. To me, almost everything is better in sandwich form, including vegetables. Sure they're great as they are, but they're better between ciabatta.
Kelsey's grilled vegetable panini is the perfect meal to make for tonight's Meatless Monday dinner. Loaded with good for you ingredients, it'll fill you up without inducing a food coma. The layers of grilled mushrooms, bell peppers and squashes gives each bite tons of texture and pair nicely with the crusty Italian bread. The best part is the herbed feta spread. It only takes minutes to make, and the bright and zesty flavors compliment the smokiness of the grilled veggies quite fabulously.
Sandwiches are meant to be casual and fun, so don't worry about sticking to the recipe exactly. Don't like zucchini? Add more peppers. Eggplant caught your eye at the store? Go crazy. And don't toss out that leftover spread. You'll want to use it on everything.
Kelsey's Grilled Vegetable Panini
1 Portobello mushroom, stem discarded and cap sliced thin
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small yellow squash, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 small zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
4 slices ciabatta, each cut in half
4 pieces red leaf lettuce
Herbed Feta Spread
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
Reduce the heat to medium. Spread one side of half the ciabatta pieces with Herbed Feta Spread and top each with one-fourth of the grilled vegetables and 1 lettuce leaf. Cover with the remaining pieces of ciabatta and brush the outsides of the sandwiches with oil. Place on the pan and grill, turning once, until the bread is browned and crisp and the cheese and vegetables are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. If desired, place a cast-iron skillet on top of the sandwiches to press them while grilling. Serve warm.
Herbed Feta Spread: In a small bowl, combine the feta, cream cheese, sour cream, basil, chives and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and mix until blended. Cover and refrigerate until using.

"Our invitations arrived recently (sooner than expected) and look absolutely beautiful! The design requests we submitted were perfect and really helped to make our invitations unique."
"I was so afraid to order my shipment without seeing the exact card proof but I love them! I had ordered the LINEN background because others had recommended it, and instead of the textured I ordered the PEARL WHITE SHIMMER for a more modern look. I couldn't be happier with them. It looks like, from other reviewers, you really have to change the background to linen if you want the shimmer. I hadn't liked the roughness of the original sample. The red is a bit on the pink side but not too much. The designers were able to put the little Ganesh in the top circle for me which I was very impressed with! I definitely recommend!"
"Beautiful design! We love everything about this invitation. It fits our theme of "Backwoods Boy and a Fairy Tale Princess" The best part of this process was the free designer who edited our customization and made it perfect and the great email communication. Two thumbs up!"
"My fiance and I fell in love with these invitations because of the beautiful trees. The invitation was simple, yet perfect to describe to our guests the feel of our wedding. The invitations turned out beautifully. I gave the Design 4 stars only because there isn't room to add much else - so the wording you see is really all that will fit (which in reality, is probably a good thing so that the invitation doesn't get too cluttered.)"
"I am having and as Asian-American wedding and was looking for an invitation that wouldn't put us over out budget but still had a nice Asian flair. I loved the design and to top it off the little elephant on the front and back made everything come together perfectly. My family is from Laos the land of a million elephants. I was able to keep the information simple yet it still made the invitation beautiful. The customer service was wonderful. I received my proofs within a timely manner and when I did come in contact with any staff they were always friendly, and knowledgeable."

February 21, 1891 — Hamburg, Germany
Else, born Else Herz, was one of three children born to a Jewish family in the large port city of Hamburg. Her father owned a grain import-export business. As a child, Else attended a private girls' school. In 1913 she married Fritz Rosenberg and the couple moved to Goettingen where they raised three children.
1933-39: With the onset of the Depression in the 1930s, Else's husband's linen factory went into decline. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, they confiscated the Rosenberg's factory. Deprived of their livelihood, the family was then evicted from their home. They relocated to Hamburg where they relied upon financial support from relatives and whatever earnings two of the children could bring in as sales apprentices.

1940-43: In late 1941 the Rosenbergs were deported 800 miles east to the Minsk ghetto in the USSR. Else was put to work cleaning snow and ice from railway tracks at night. In July 1942, after the work brigades left the ghetto for the day, it was surrounded by SS men. Else's brigade heard gunfire from the ghetto. For three days the laborers were kept at their sites; unrest grew by the hour. When allowed to return, Else saw hundreds of corpses on the ground; miraculously, her family was still alive. Some 30,000 had been killed.
Else's son Heinz was taken to the Treblinka extermination camp in September 1943. Two weeks later, the ghetto was liquidated. Else and the rest of her family were not heard from again.

The McDonalds brothers always had the idea of starting a business in fast food, but before they made their burgers and nuggets avaliable to the public, they traveled back in time by using a modified DeLorean implemented with a flux capacitor capable of time travel when it's current speed hits 88 mph. They went back to the second before they came up with the name "McDonalds" and killed the McDonald's brothers, thus creating a rip in their dimension, and throwing themselves into an alternate reality where they are recognized as the McDinald brothers. This was my time line. I am one of the brothers' uncles, Uncle Dolan McDinald. I coached my boys and the McDinald's restaurant is now one of the most popular fast food restaurants of all time in America.
McDonalds? What's that? Did you mean "McDinalds"?
