Ark Ark Ark
I am altogether tired of ark jokes, now that New England has entered its umpteetnth day of rain and there are floods everywhere. Worst, they say, in 70 years.
I had intended to go to the nursery today to buy plants for replenishing the garden, but of course it has been too miserable to go anywhere. So I have turned my attention to my desk (see picture) and its unending mess, much worse than the garden.
And here is what I done so far today:
(This is all a sort-of answer to the FAQ "Can you decribe a typical work day?")...

If you would like to stay at a place, were the bartender checks you in by handing you a key, no paperwork, ID check, nothing. You have to look at the other rooms for towels because you have none, even though you made your reservations months in advance, they still didn't know you were coming, no AC, no screen on your window, but you can open it, I mean if you would like the bugs to eat you alive all night. You can never find staff, the waitress in the bar is also in charge of the rooms, after 3 days we ran into her, she got us towels, no soap, shampoos or room amenities, just towels. We had to go to the other rooms and bathrooms in the hotel to find that stuff. I understand the old hotel concept, but this place was bad. Also, they brag over and over its haunted. I stayed in the most haunted room in this place for almost a week, nothing. It not haunted its old and falling apart. Our bathroom (which was across the hallway), had a bathtub that took forever to drain, was never cleaned by the staff, had rotten and moldy boards in the ceiling, no hot water in the sink (I turned it on and it leaks everywhere). The first night we had great pillows we took from another room, because there was no one to find to get extras, after the bar closes there is no one in the building, so if you have an emergency or request you are screwed and the bar doesn't open until the afternoon, which gives you at least one person to talk to for service, which you can't get until the waitress gets in at 3 pm. The waitress did apologize for the lack of service, she explained she has three children at home and another job, plus she added the owners don't care about the place what so ever, that's why they have it listed for sale. She also mentioned no one told her we were staying 5 days and they all change our bedding when we leave. No fresh sheets, no towels, no bathroom supplies, dirty pool, dirty hotel, suppose to be smoke free but you can smell the smokers from the bar all night.

It was billed as a bed and breakfast but the restaurant was closed in the morning. I was told by the waitress that they had a continental breakfast on the second floor in the mornings but there was nothing. We left between 9:00 and 10:00 AM and couldn't even find anyone around to complain to. Doubt very much if I ever go back.

A blast from the past. Just right for us. Even had a good live band on the Saturday night that we were there.
November 20, 2011
Really great hotel with historical charm and elegance. I was fortunate enough to be there on a Thursday evening and had the good pleasure of enjoying the "special" which was one of the best Martinis I have had in a long time. As far as ghost activity...you should really stay here and see for yourself.

We loved the experience. The beds are comfortable and decorated to the period. The resturant was awesome. The saloon was fun with the live band on Saturday night but went till 1:30 AM and sounded like it was in my room. I was disappointed with the breakfast part of the bed and breakfast. Coffee and scones.

We ended up staying elsewhere. This hotel was misrepresented on the Internet. It is not beautiful. It is delapidated, musty, deserted, and unsafe. We saw no other residents there. We were also led to believe that it was close to Murphy's, which it is not. When we got to Murphy's it was clear that everyone knows that the Hotel Ledger is NOT a desirable place to stay. Several people talked about it being haunted! We didn't know about that, but in hindsight, it makes sense. Our weekend ended up being stressful instead of relaxing!! ...

A great place to stay in a beautiful small town. Every room is unique and adds to the Bed and Breakfast experience. The added bonus of Hotel Leger was the Saloon located inside with a great live band.

Business Traveler
The owners and staff of the Hotel Leger make you feel welcome and it was a fun place to stay. It has a great bar and restaurant. There is a TV in the bar but not in the rooms. They offer internet service so business travelers can stay in touch. They do not have phones in the rooms but my cell service was excelent (ATT). Overall it was a fun place to stay.....they even have a haunted room! ...

After a long day of hikes in the woods of northern Michigan, FLD Mike is one pooped pup. He wanders around the cabin looking for something soft to lie on. There isn't much available on the hardwood floor, just a variety of rugs.
Gypsy is nestled on one of the couches, but we don't allow FLD Mike onto the furniture. He doesn't seem to mind, but a cushy spot is always a lure. On the drive back to the cabin from Alcona Park, where Andy had been fishing while I played with the dogs, FLD Mike tried to get comfortable on the van's emergency tool bag. He settled for a perch on Andy's life-vest.
I feel sorry for the tired pup, so I toss one of the pillows from the day-bed onto the floor. FLD Mike quickly takes advantage and curls his 50+ pound black lab body on top of it, with some success. His eyelids can't stay open any longer.
Sometime later he rustles in his dreaming; FLD Mike was now stretched out over the pillow in an awkward position on his back. He wiggles, and slides off the pillow to end up partially under the day-bed. He keeps sleeping.
Andy and I relax with a Netflix movie, homemade brownies, and a bottle of Piesporter. I hear a thumping noise coming from FLD Mike's direction. I peek over the coffee table and there's Mike, wedged under the day-bed on his belly, his head and front paws sticking out from beneath the quilte that covered it.
What's the matter, Mike? I ask, stifling a giggle. He tries to scoot himself out, but is only able to lift his head a few inches. The rest of him is stuck tight. He drops his chin to the floor and looks up at me with the crescent-moon-whites of his eyes underlining his dilemma. I am surprised he doesn't whine or bark in frustration.
I have to get a picture of this, I say to Andy and jump up to get my camera from the kitchen table.
I think that FLD Mike knows when I am about to take an incriminating photo of him. As I walk away from him, instead of coming to his rescue, he takes it upon himself to get out of this predicament. I hear his struggle as I grab my camera, fearful I will miss my shot. He just might be strong enough to lift the entire day-bed if he tries to stand up, I think. I hustle back, switch on my camera, and swing it up to my eye. In time!
FLD Mike somehow gyrates himself back over onto his side, which leaves him breathing room between the day-bed and the floor. He scrabbles, and stretches, and scrabbles, and cranes his neck and head to at last pull himself free.
Unfettered, FLD Mike calmly plops himself back onto the pillow and falls back to sleep. Nothing seems to bother this pup!

Public Health
Healthy People, Healthy Places Jeffco, a collaboration of community organizations, health and other service providers, government agencies, worksites, and residents, committed to building a healthier Jefferson County completed its community engagement process and the results are in. Input was gathered during five community meetings, from an online survey and from members of a multi-sector Jefferson County Health Council. Information about the five risk factors (physical inactivity, psychosocial stressors, poor diet, tobacco use and exposure and alcohol use) was presented to all participants. These five risk factors play a role in all of Jefferson County's leading causes of death. Participants were asked to prioritize which risk factors the community should commit to working on in their community health improvement plan (CHIP). Prioritization of the risk factors was accomplished by having all participants distribute $100 in play money on the risk factors they felt deserved the most attention.
The community has spoken and physical inactivity, poor diet and psychosocial stressors were overwhelmingly ranked as the highest priorities to address. With the combined rankings from all engagement efforts, $100 would be distributed as follows:
Healthy People, Healthy Places Jeffco has responded to these results by convening work groups on physical activity and access to healthy food. Both work groups will also tackle psychosocial stressors as they relate to health.
The problem of psychosocial stress in our communities is real and it can directly impact the choices people make around physical activity and eating. For example, people who have trouble paying the rent, or who don't live in safe neighborhoods, or don't have an opportunity for higher education and better living wages, live with higher levels of chronic psychosocial stress. This chronic stress puts them at a greater risk of developing a range of diseases. In addition, the social and economic factors that produce this stress make it harder for them to make healthy choices: people who live in lower-income neighborhoods tend to be surrounded by liquor stores and corner stores that sell non-nutritious food items and cigarettes, and they're less likely to have places nearby to buy healthy food and safe places to be active . By looking at ways to remove barriers to healthy eating and active living, the work groups hope to also reduce psychosocial stressors in Jefferson County.
The CHIP process is an effective way to translate data into action by building partnerships, focusing on key priorities and targeting resources. Our hope is that with a focus on working on improving access to physical activity and healthy eating we can reverse some of the trends that have led to Americans living shorter lives and experiencing more injuries and illnesses than people in other developed countries.
Ultimately, our goal is to improve the health of all Jefferson County residents.

Lewis Bloor won't date girl who has sex on TV
Lewis Bloor doesn't want to date someone who's had sex on TV.
The 26-year-old hunk is currently in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house and, although it seems a relationship is blossoming between him and Marnie Simpson - who's been caught getting frisky on camera numerous times - he's selective about who he falls in love with.
Asked if he'd ever have sex on camera, he said: "Never say never, but it's not my intention to go in there [the house] and do the business. It'll be tough if you're in bed with someone for 28 days and you have had a couple of drinks but I'd like to think if I met a girl on there, she wouldn't be the type to sh*g on television."
And, although he's not planning to get hot and heavy under the bed sheets, Lewis isn't worried about his family watching.
He explained: "My mum knows the deal. She has woken up to me coming down the stairs with two girls walking out of my bedroom. She stands there in horror but dad will give me that look of, 'Well done, son!' "
Meanwhile, the handsome star isn't actively looking for a girlfriend in the infamous abode but is open to the idea of finding love.
Speaking to new! magazine, he said: "I'm totally single but I've made a lot of mistakes in my love life and I'm not going to go into something without thinking. If there's someone in there I'll give it time. I'd love to have someone to hang out with. I have a lot going on in my life so it'd be nice to have someone to share that with."

Published: 2015-07-17, by Cecilia Hill.
Cricket T20 Fever 3D is an app that's dedicated to cricket. With this game you can practice your abilities very easily. Unfortunately, even though the 3D graphics are well-produced, it has a number of failings that may put you off opting for this game and going for another cricket app.
The app is spot on when it comes to the 3D graphics. It offers a good perspective of the pitch and the movements of the players. You'll like it if you're a cricket fan, however you should bear in mind that there are other Android cricket games on the market that are a lot more comprehensive,
To start with, you'll come across various ads in video format that are very intrusive. In fact, the ads pop up at the most crucial moments of the game, making any sort of game fluidity impossible. The music is too intense for this type of game (a game that normally conjures up images of Englishmen sipping tea and munching on triangular sandwiches), and it will get on your nerves before long. At one point we just had to switch it off. The sound effects are very limited, which means that the game doesn't really immerse the player into the environment that effectively. Lastly, the customization options are few and far between.

Dunbar played a starring role, scoring two tries, as Scotland snatched the narrowest of wins against Italy last time out in the RBS 6 Nations.
Scotland boss Scott Johnson raved about the contribution of his midfield duo but Dunbar is refusing to get carried away after seeing his side claim only their first win of the Championship against the Azzurri.
"It is like anything, the more you play together, the more you can read each other and it's improving every time we play," he said.
"So all we can do is keep working hard and hope we still get selected.
"There was a lot of work done by the boys inside. We created a lot and created a few gaps."

A group of humble archers believe they have identified the source of a mysterious explosion that rocked residents of Lyneham on Thursday night, startling people as far away as Kingston.
Canberra Archery Club target range officer Andy MacDonald arrived at the Lyneham range on Sunday morning to find the club's garbage bin blown to smithereens with fragments found across a 60 metre radius.
"We know that it happened on the night of the explosion although we didn't connect the two incidents until Sunday," he said.
Mr MacDonald was certain the explosion would have been felt by many residents, but suspected the blast was caused by a combination of chemicals rather than a large firework as initially suspected.
"It's not very often that someone blows up a bin with that sort of damage and force," he said.
"We found one piece of the lid around 30 metres away near the clubhouse and another piece near the roundabout in the other direction."
Mr MacDonald said someone had taken the bin from behind a shed where beginner's equipment was stored, emptied rubbish into another bin, and then detonated an explosion just a few metres away from the shed.
"An impression of the bin wheel had been pressed into the ground which would suggest the explosion generated a down force," he said.
"A melted portion of the lower most pieces surrounded by radiating surface fragmentation marks and a sooted portion clearly indicate that an explosion took place in the bin."
Club members attempted to recover fragments of the bin "like an air crash investigation", but could not locate all the pieces, with Mr MacDonald suspecting some remained on the roof of a nearby toilet block.
While Mr MacDonald said the incident was alarming, the Canberra Archery Club had not reported it to police, which may explain why the explosion had remained a mystery for days.
He also suggested the reason many people did not see the explosion was due to the range's isolated location in Southwell Park.
An ACT Policing spokesman said officers responded to several reports of "fireworks" in the area around 10.30pm, but could not locate anyone responsible or any materials from the blast.
An ACT Emergency Services Agency spokesman said no requests for assistance had been made to firefighters or ambulance officers and the cause of the blast was unknown.
Mr White, a Lyneham resident, said he felt his floor move after the "very loud explosion" while Ms Ealing, who also lives in Lyneham, said she felt reverberations for a couple of seconds after the blast.
Other Canberrans said the blast reminded them of the Mitchell explosions in 2011, which woke many North Canberra residents as a ferocious chemical fire swept through the Energy Services Environmental factory.
Do you have another theory about the source of the blast? Comment below.

Thanks clueless the order was paced yesterday I've also been telling the girls in work and Julie is going to order some too ,so a little competition has been set up we are already thinking of recipes to use them in. You should be on commission clueless.Thanks.
19 Jan 2014 08:55
Great spot you have there AWB ! We are thinking of giving the mushrooms a go too
Hope CB is watching this thread - the shoots of his revival are starting to show
26 Feb 2014 16:14
A good day, fingernails dirty, I'm tired and shall now enjoy a glass of red.
26 Feb 2014 16:42
Thanks looking really good.
I finally got around to watching the stumpery edition last night.
I have a huge oak at the bottom of my garden that was cut down last fall. its about 30 Inches across at the base. The tree guy left it about 15 foot high. Anyone got any ideas how easy it will be to dig up and move?
It must weigh about 2 ton so will need at least 5 guys to move it but would make a fantastic stumpery.
Ill try and get a photo.
Hmmm it is pretty big!
26 Feb 2014 21:48
Well my husband has managed to blag some poplar stumps so waiting a while before we place our mushroom plugs .My friend has already done hers. ,looks good AWB.
26 Feb 2014 22:29
Bluebaron, could you grow a climber of some sort up it. You could put bug boxes or bird boxes on it or a couple of hanging baskets with trailing flowers.
01 Mar 2014 23:50
Hi just found you guys while looking for ideas for stumperies. Find a local tree surgeon to get your stumperies going. They often have stumps, roots and all that they often just burn so perfect opportunity
05 Apr 2014 16:59
A lot done but much more to do.
05 Apr 2014 18:19
I was going to make a stumpery but have now aquired some chimney liners. Now do I call it a potty stumpery or a stumpy pottery - if it ever gets made that is - so many other things to do as well!!!!!
05 Apr 2014 18:25
That looks great AWB. Still waiting for OH to get my logs etc from the fallen trees at his golf club.
05 Apr 2014 18:28
OOOh, I like that AWB! My efforts are more of a twigery but I like it, I've moved it around some more today as well. Mine's more 'eerie' then 'woodlandy'. Haven't seen this thread before but will put some pictures on at some time (there are some elsewhere can't remember exactly).
06 Apr 2014 04:36
I am hoping that all the little nooks and crannies will become homes for frogs and toads. No frog spawn this year, very little last year, do now have grass snakes, could this be the problem. Also no hedgehogs.
13 May 2014 06:28
various ferns starting to grow
13 May 2014 06:32
That's looking good - lots of snug hidey-holes for amphibians and beetles etc.
13 May 2014 12:03
That is maturing really well. Very impressed
Haven't even begun to clear the area mine is going into - too much else to do in garden finishing previous projects!!!!!!!!!
28 May 2014 21:32
We still have our mushroom logs in bin bags but my friend has taken hers out one was full of insects the other covered in white stuff!!the final one nothing ,how's everyone else's doing ? We are going to get ours from the bin bags tomorrow.Nannynetty

The one covered in white stuff sounds as if it is going the right way. It sounds like the mycelium is starting to grow
I went ti Biddulph Grange gardens the other day. The stumpery was quite creepy. All the bits were poking out of the ground like dinosaur bones. They were black and slippery in the rain. The ones here look much nicer and friendlier

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Kesler Needs To Harness His Emotions
by Paul on 09/12/13 at 10:00 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province,
And he's admitted he has thought long and hard about the way he plays the game and reached the conclusion that emotion is something of an enemy. And he's almost certainly right.
"Obviously I've thought about that, and I think everyone in here knows I'm an emotional guy and I feel I play my best when emotions are high and kicking in, but that's when you get injured. I spent a lot of time this off-season just working and getting my body where it needs to be, so I don't have to be so emotional out there and just play my game and be successful that way."
Right, so the approach best taken is to try to be more even-keeled, more focused on the goal and perhaps leave a few of those side battles and the private little on-ice feuds with individuals aside. And that seems like a genuinely intelligent, enlightened view, given how hard he plays and the reputation he carries with the officials, which is constantly perpetuated largely by people in the eastern media.
But isn't the problem here that this reasoned approach is going to work at cross purposes with the alleged strengths of the new coach? Isn't John Tortorella the firebrand who is supposed to be the in-your-face, demanding guy who is going to get on your case the moment there is a slight lull in your play? Isn't this going to be the match to the gasoline leading precisely to the emotion which will bring on the injury that will neuter this team's chances of accomplishing anything?

If you haven't done so already, be sure to visit the Wiki Portal to read about how the wiki works. Especially the Ogre Wiki Overview page.
Ogre4j is a project that enables usage of the OGRE library within Java applications. The first approach was made by Ivica Aracic aka bytelord (http://www.bytelords.com). Thanks to him for doing the first steps.
The new team is working on a complete new version that's more powerful (hopefully). To make it easy for those who used OGRE in C++ the usage of ogre4j will be straight forward. Every public interface of the library will be available through JNI in the Java world.
For more information about the status of the project please visit the ogre4j homepage. Questions about ogre4j can be asked directly at the ogre4j forums or the OGRE forums.

Appreciation of the confidence expressed in him at the thirty-second annual convention of the Zionist Organization of America, was contained in a cablegram received in New York from Louis Lipsky, President of the Zionist Organization of America, who is at present in Switzerland, recovering from a serious operation he underwent in Palestine some time ago. Commenting upon the various resolutions of the Zionist Convention, Mr. Lipsky urges the Zionists of America to prepare for a year of enlarged activity and to formulate a program of extensive cooperation with the new Jewish Agency. The message also appeals for internal Zionist harmony.
Mr. Lipsky's cablegram, made public by Mr. Morris. Rothenberg, Acting President of the Organization, read as follows:
"I deeply appreciate confidence of American Zionists as expressed at the Detroit Convention. Their virility, loyalty and devotion was finely demonstrated at the remarkable gathering. With united effort American Jewry can become the bulwark of the Jewish National Homeland in Palestine.
"In order to achieve our goal redoubled application, patience, devotion, and continued sacrifice on the part of Zionists is indispensable. I therefore appeal to all American Zionists to prepare for a larger and more fruitful effort during the coming year in cooperation with the extended Jewish Agency. I also appeal for internal Zionist harmony, without which Zionist influence will be ineffective and the national building of Zion and the Zionizing of Galuth will be endangered. Only through practical service for Palestine will unity and better understanding prevail.
"Express my heartfelt thanks which I feel is due to the Jewish press for the splendid cooperation they have been giving and are daily giving to the extension of the influence of the Zionist movement in America."

Lindsay Lohan's mother has credited professional organizer Linda Cooper-Smith, who was called after the actress' stuff has taken over her home, for tidying up her daughter's messy home.
Lindsay Lohan's mum Dina Lohan has applauded professional organizer Linda Cooper-Smith's attempts to clean up her daughter's life. The actress called in help after realizing her collection of clothes, shoes and accessories had taken over her Hollywood home.
The "Mean Girls" star even agreed to open her doors to U.S. TV news show "The Insider" for the before-and-after expose. Lohan opened doors to rooms full of clothes and accessories, telling show co-host Niecy Nash there were areas she tried not to enter, adding, "That's how bad it is."
Nash drafted in Cooper-Smith to tidy up and organize the actress' home and the results were aired on TV in America on Friday, March 19. The mess was gone and new closets housed the items Lohan wanted to keep. Mum Dina appeared on the show to salute Nash and Cooper-Smith's good work. She said, "It's absolutely amazing."

I finished the fascinating hour and half interview by asking Charles what advice he would give aspiring composers. His answer was succinct yet inspirational: 'Stay with your dreams, learn all you can about your craft, believe in yourself and that there is a place for your music and know that it is something you must do'.
Let's go back to the beginning and start with Madonna and me. Against what some people think is the gay 'stereotype', I'm not really one of her fans. However, my actions after watching her arrival on the red carpet and then performance, I played true to stereotype and took to social media to comment on her appearance.

• Late stage pre-clinical R&D programmes have generated positive results to support therapeutic potential of our lead compounds, VAL201 and VAL101 (GeneICE).
• VAL201, which has shown significant inhibition of aggressive tumour cell proliferation in prostate cancer, also reduces spread of secondary tumours.
• Manufacturing of VAL201 to regulatory standards has also been successful and the drug is currently undergoing regulatory toxicology studies prior to entering clinical trials.
• Focusing on potential indication for GeneICE drug candidate.
• Secured additional shareholder support with a gross investment of GBP 900,000.
• Acquisition by Finnish subsidiary, ValiRx Finland OY ("ValiFinn"), of biomarkers business unit together with several families of patents and patent applications and related intellectual property ("IP").
• Material Transfer Agreement ("MTA") concluded with a distinguished cancer treatment and research centre, the Institut Paoli & Calmettes ("IPC") in Marseille, France to conduct translational and developmental studies on ValiRx's lead compound, VAL201 and assist with its progression towards clinical trials.
• Establishment of Scientific Advisory Board ("SAB") to advise and assist the Company in the further development of its technologies and products in oncology therapeutics and diagnostics and provide world-class clinical expertise.
• Continued collaboration with Imperial College, Cancer Research UK and Oxford University.
Nicholas Thorniley, Non-Executive Chairman of ValiRx, commented:
"Our progress during the period under review has been very encouraging. VAL201, which has been shown to significantly inhibit the aggressive tumour growth in prostate cancer, also reduces the spread of secondary tumours (metastasis) by up to 50 per cent. These findings are a major step forward, since patients with prostate cancer typically develop metastasis. The Company believes that this further strengthens the product offering."
"I am pleased that one of a number of our compounds is expected to be entering clinical trials. The preclinical results on VAL201 have exceeded our expectations and the Company is assessing its options; one of which is to conduct its own Phase I trial rather than out-licensing at this stage. We believe that we can drive greater shareholder value in conducting Phase I trials ourselves, but we continue to consider all options. With the Company's costs under control and with the Group and its lead therapeutics and other assets moving forward, as planned, I look forward to the future with growing confidence."

Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to report that during the half year ended 30 June 2012, the Company has continued its strong progress in the development of a sustainable platform for drug development. Costs have been kept under control and the Company and its compounds have moved forward as planned and we are particularly pleased to see the continuing development of our lead therapeutic compounds VAL101 and VAL201, and especially VAL201 towards the commencement of in-human clinical trials.
Revenues for the half-year were £157,535 (2011: £418,263). Administrative expenses were £709,148 (2011: £417,508). Losses after taxation were £1,088,122 (2011: losses £161,392). In the half-year £540,211 (2011: £152,935) was spent on Research and Development, which contributed to the higher losses.
In April 2012, we completed a placing through our broker Hybridan, to raise GBP 900,000 (before expenses) which has provided ValiRx with a secure base of funding from which the Company could accelerate and complete its pre-clinical work on VAL201 and also to continue pre-clinical work for VAL101 among other activities. Furthermore, the placing has enabled the Company to continue development of companion diagnostics methods and expand its IP portfolio and value, alongside providing scope for an increase in the marketing of our biomarkers business.
The period also saw our Finnish subsidiary, ValiRx Finland OY, acquire from Pharmatest Services Oy of Oulu, Finland, its biomarkers business unit together with several patents and patent applications and related intellectual property. Strategically, the acquisition will enhance the Company's R&D capability, as the specialist biomarker expertise within the unit is leveraged to advance in-house the development of companion biomarker diagnostics to complement ValiRx's therapeutics. This acquisition also provides ValiRx with an increased exposure to the Biomarker market, a key and increasingly exciting field within our industry, and to a revenue stream, derived from the provision of contract services.
At the end of March 2012, ValiRx concluded a Material Transfer Agreement ("MTA") with the Institut Paoli & Calmettes ("IPC") in Marseille, France. Under the terms of the MTA, the IPC has been conducting translational and developmental studies on ValiRx's lead compound, VAL201 and will assist the Company in the progression towards clinical trials.
The manufacturing of VAL201 to regulatory standards has been successful and during the period VAL201 has been undergoing regulatory toxicology studies.
Our progress during the period under review has been very encouraging and the advances in the development of our drug programmes represent a major step forward to further strengthen our product offering.
I am delighted that one of a number of our compounds is expected to be entering clinical trials imminently and based upon this increasingly secure corporate platform, I look forward to the future with growing confidence.

Italian Wedding Soup with Meatballs Recipe
This soup is just wonderful. It's so filling and chock-full of veggies. I first simmered up a batch of this soup when it was featured in our local newspaper, the Palm Beach Post Times. You can also substitute chicken sausage, rolled up into little balls, for the meatballs here.—Amy McGowen, Jupiter, Florida
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 1 medium parsnip, peeled and chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 3 teaspoons herbes de Provence
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
- 1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby spinach
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- 1. In a large bowl, combine the egg white, bread crumbs and Italian seasoning. Crumble pork over mixture and mix well. Shape into 3/4-in. balls.
- 2. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°.
- 3. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, saute the carrots, celery, parsnip and onion in oil until tender. Stir in the broth, herbes de Provence, pepper flakes and pepper.
- 4. Drain meatballs on paper towels. Bring soup to a boil; add meatballs. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Cool. Transfer to freezer containers. May be frozen for up to 3 months.
- 5. To use frozen soup: Thaw in the refrigerator. Transfer to a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add orzo; cook 8-10 minutes longer or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally. Add spinach; cook and stir until spinach is wilted. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Yield: 7 cups.

AN election to appoint a new town councillor will take place in February – and it is estimated to cost the town as much as £7,000.
Bernadette Emmett announced in November that she had resigned from Knutsford Town Council due to her work commitments.
She was elected in 2011, with the highest vote of the Over Ward councillors, and served on the finance, environment and operations committees. It was the first time she had stood as a councillor in the town.
Ten townsfolk had to contact the borough authority for an election to be held and this was done before the deadline of December 14.
Steve McQuade, town clerk, said: "I have confirmation that the election for the vacancy on the council will be held on February 7. The trigger of 10 electors asking for an election had been reached.
"Further information will come out of Cheshire East Council."
He added that the cost to the town of the election is forecast to be between £6,000 and £7,000.

Butchery has never been my strong suit. I was a baking and pastry major in college and managed to pick up cooking along the way. I think I'm pretty good at it. Meat, however, has just never been my thing. Navigating my way through half of a cow or pig to net out with individual cuts is a feat that has always left me baffled.
Earlier in the year, the USDA started a new press campaign to rename common cuts of beef and pork, which I'm super on board with. The overarching goal (which will really help us aspiring butchers) is to sync up the names of similarly shaped cuts from two different animals. I've got a tremendous amount of respect for the craft of the butcher, but I cannot, for the life of me, keep all of the different cut names straight. Imagine my elation when this whole thing came full circle and porterhouse pork chops starting showing up in the meat case at my local market. I know exactly what I'm getting. I know exactly how to cook it. And I feel just a bit smarter because of it.
Here's the problem with too much information, though: The more you know, the less material you have when flirt-chatting with Jeremy the blue-eyed butcher.

Can install on up to 3 Macs or PCs. Category-based Web filtering blocks HTTPS sites. Blocks inappropriate YouTube videos; blocks TV/movie clips based on ratings. IM and e-mail monitoring. Warns when kids post private information online. Parental notification via e-mail, phone, or text.
Vulnerable to certain hacks. Local and online activity reports mutually exclusive. Online activity reports lack detail. Program blocking easily defeated.
Bottom Line
Safe Eyes 6.0 focuses more on what the family likes to do online than on how to control what they do, though it retains all its protective features. Its online activity reporting needs work, but it's still the best choice for families using both Macs and PCs.
Some parental control systems can't handle HTTPS sites, but Safe Eyes successfully blocks even secure sites that match banned categories. In particular, it blocks secure anonymizing proxies. The "loophole" category for these sites doesn't even appear in the category list, so parents can't accidentally turn it off. If kids manage to connect through a localhost proxy utility or secure anonymizing proxy Safe Eyes, can't filter their surfing. Net Nanny is tougher. It blocks the use of localhost proxies, and even if kids manage to connect via secure anonymizing proxies it can still filter the secure traffic.
Parental control systems that rely on Layered Service Provider (LSP) technology can be disabled using a specific command-line instruction from a Windows account with Administrator privilege. Like CyberPatrol 7.7 ($39.95 direct, ), Safe Eyes is vulnerable to this attack. Net Nanny and OnlineFamily.Norton aren't. It's too bad, because Safe Eyes almost defends itself against this attack. After the reboot that's a required element of the LSP attack, Safe Eyes reports the problem and asks whether to fix or ignore it. Why ask? Budding hackers will choose ignore and proceed to surf without filtering or monitoring by Safe Eyes.
Videos and Music
Kids can see just about anything on YouTube, from school-related news items to shocking porn. Blocking the whole site to keep them away from the bad stuff isn't smart. Safe Eyes filters out inappropriate YouTube videos whether they appear on the site itself or embedded elsewhere. To determine whether videos are inappropriate Sage Eyes checks metadata, tags, titles, and YouTube's own "inappropriate content" flag. Safe Eyes can also block non-browser media players that might circumvent its filtering. Net Nanny gets a similar effect using its real-time content analysis but doesn't specifically target videos.
Safe Eyes also filters movie and TV clips based on their MPAA movie rating or FCC TV rating. For each child, you can limit viewing to G and TV-G, PG and TV-PG or PG-13 and TV-14. Safe Eyes gathers rating information from various sources and manages video downloads on many Web sites, including Hulu (Free, ), ABC, NBC, FOX, and iTunes (Free, ). In the same way it forces Safe Search, it can keep the kids from turning off the iTunes feature that blocks songs with explicit lyrics.
The activity report lists all blocked and watched videos. For each video Safe Eyes displays summary information and a thumbnail; parents can click the thumbnail to see what kids have been watching.
Instant Messaging and E-mail
The coolest kids don't use e-mailit's so old-fashioned! Even IM is giving way to social networking chat or in-game conversations. But if you need to control children's e-mail communications Safe Eyes is uniquely equipped to handle that task. Kids can create endless Web-based e-mail accounts, so Safe Eyes can block Web-based mail completely. As for standard POP3/SMTP e-mail, Safe Eyes can block messages from all addresses except those whitelisted by parents and report on both blocked and allowed messages.
IM control in Safe Eyes doesn't yet extend to Facebook or MySpace chat, but it can block or monitor AIM/ICQ, MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. This feature works at the protocol level, so it will handle third-party IM clients like Trillian or Pidgin. It can't monitor strictly Web-based IM conversations, but it can block access to such sites. If you activate monitoring, it records everything. There's no analysis like Net Nanny's, which can give the kids privacy by default but automatically start recording conversations that turn dangerous.Next: Game and Program Control

Did you know?
Aardwolf cubs make clicking noises similar to those made by alarmed termites.
Aardwolves, at first glance, look a little like hyenas, except much smaller and with a striped pelt.
Not surprisingly, they are part of the same family. But unlike brown or spotted hyenas, aardwolves very seldom eat carrion.
Instead, they devote their lives to eating termites, and have peg-like teeth and weak jaws to prove it.
Like the even more secretive aardvarks and pangolins, aardwolves are nocturnal animals, and specialise in harvester termites.
These insects spend the night gathering dry grass and taking it into burrows underground.
Aardwolves generally find them by listening to the characteristic rustling and cutting sounds they make, then rush over to lick them up as fast as possible before the soldier termites arrive with their distasteful sprays.
On any given night, an aardwolf will eat up to 200 000 insects – nearly a kilogram of pure protein and very little competition for it.
Aardwolves are mostly solitary beasts and pass the day dozing in burrows. The best time to see them is just before dusk when they emerge from these burrows.
They've been found in almost every part of South Africa but are rare wild animals, seldom seen because of their shyness and nocturnal habits. They favour open, dry country like the arid Kalahari and Karoo, which is also where harvester termites are common.
Aardwolves, members of the Shy Five (which also includes the meerkat, the aardvark, the porcupine and the bat-eared fox), are peaceful beasts, but have a range of tricks at their disposal to make more aggressive animals leave them alone.
For a start, they can puff up every hair on their body to make them look twice as large as they really are. And although they're slow runners, aardwolves are world-class dodgers, using their bushy tails to distract and mislead as they escape.
If all else fails, they'll let out a barrage of ferocious growls, snarls, deep barks and even lion-like roars if cornered.

How to get here
Wherever there are harvester termites, there are aardwolves – and that counts for practically the whole country except for true desert and true forest. You may see them in game reserves, but it may be even easier to spot them while on Karoo farm stays. They favour grassland and open scrubland.
Best time to visit
Cubs are usually born in October, and parents will stay near the den for about three months after that. If the farmer knows of a den, this is probably the best time to see adults, and perhaps youngsters.
Length of stay
To maximise your chances of seeing an aardwolf, go out on night drives on consecutive nights.
What to pack
Bring warm clothing for night drives and a flash for your camera (plus batteries).
Where to stay
Nature reserves, national parks and farm stays in the dry Karoo or Kalahari will be your best bet if you want to see this ant-eating canine.

Now that's a threat RIM should take seriously - Indonesian government is saying it might ban BlackBerry services if it is not in the loop on the conversations carried out over RIM's encrypted network. India and other countries have made similar threats before, and RIM has managed to address their concerns so far.
Indonesia is one of the most important BlackBerry markets, with north of 10% market share, so the government can certainly exert some pressure. While it might all be a retaliation about RIM building a new data service center in Singapore instead of Indonesia, the government's telecom watchdog did specify that it is a "security risk that it can't peak into the messages.
Recently we outed an inside scoop how a BlackBerry Bold 9790 launch event in Jakarta turned ugly with people ending up in a hospital, and RIM's Indonesia head is under investigation about it. The company's devices are apparently very popular there, and the government watching over your shoulder while typing could be offputting for many. Well, not as much as in Thailand, where people might go to jail over a text message insulting the king, but still.

"It's having a staff that cares," Gonzalez said. "It's having a staff that doesn't just come to work and look at it as a job. They understand that we are in people's lives because of some medical condition. It's an understanding of the value that we can bring into their lives to make them better."
Gonzalez, who always wanted to start her own business, got her chance as a secondary creator of MEDwheels, in partnership with her brother and sister-in-law. Six years later, the company primarily services veterans and senior citizens with health issues such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and cancer.
Many patients appreciate the sincerity of MEDwheels. One client left a competing medical mobility company in favor of Gonzalez and her associates' great service. Another feisty patient uses the MEDwheels lot as her own personal drive-through, pulling up and honking the horn until Gonzalez hustles out to take care of her.
"Those are the moments that set us apart," said Gonzalez with a smile. "We provide a very important contribution to our community."

He Sells Surfdogs by the Seashore
One balmy day last summer, my boyfriend and I came up with what we thought was a good way to spend a relaxing day: bike riding on the beach path in Santa Monica. After fighting traffic on the 10 to get there, we found the path impermeable, a jam of cranky kids on Razors and their equally cranky parents trying not to get mowed down by rollerbladers and skate rats, and a neon-bright spandex crowd whose aesthetic charm lasts about as long as a lollipops, quickly imparting the same sticky, sugar-headache irritation.
Feeling a drop in my own blood sugar, I suggested we head to Main Street, if not for a ride then at least some lunch. It might have been the overabundance of boutiques selling $40 tank tops stenciled with working-Joe logos, or the legions of locals preening outside cafes with $4 cups of coffee, but I found myself in a murderous mood, one further blackened by the fact that we could not find anyplace to buy a simple goddamn sandwich. We settled on a spot where the staff was rude and the prices absurd, and where we waited 20 minutes for a prefab baguette with one lousy slice of ham.
The only reason I may attempt such a venture again is because of Surfdogs, which six months ago introduced Main Street to the true working-Joe concept of a hot dog in a liquor store, the kind of liquor store with big jugs of wine and the sort of essentials (soap, toilet paper, glue) one throws on the counter when stopping in for cigarettes.
I know that place, says my friend Loren, who lives around the corner, and who arcs her eyebrows dubiously at the idea of actually eating anything cooked there.
She warms up when we see two middle-aged beach boys chowing on Polish sausages at one of the five tables outside. Hows the food?
Good, says one guy, offering us a crispy, deep-amber French fry. It is good, the sort of fry thats battered and spiced before cooking, making it bumpy and crunchy and savory.
We ask the guys if they eat here a lot because theyre surfers.
Used to be, says one. Want to see my surf bumps?
He shows us his lumpy shin. Thanks.
The dogs and sausages and pastrami sandwiches are served in one corner of the store, where a leaflet on the counter announces new offerings -- chicken tenders, corn dogs and onion rings.
For the kids, says owner Danny Kim, whose Surfdogs menu proudly states, Locals Only, and who began serving up the natural-casing hot dogs because Before, we only made sandwiches, and then everybody on the street started serving these fancy sandwiches, the Coffee Bean and all that, so we thought, hey, lets keep it simple and give the locals what they want. Are you local? Loren says she is. If you want something, give us a suggestion and well put it on the menu.
What Loren, whos a semivegetarian, wants today is a turkey dog with chili, a spicy goo made with turkey meat. She takes a bite.
This is yuck, and I mean really yuck, she says, pulling out the wan dog but eating up the chili and toasted bun, an option Surfdogs calls Poor Mans Dog. Danny is quick to apologize. We gotta get a better turkey dog, he says, and by way of apology brings us a basket of excellent, supercrisp onion rings.
I am very happy with my garlicky Polish sausage, which gives a mighty snap and a squirt of peppery juice with each bite. Im also delighted with a Navy Dog, a very good, equally snappy beef hot dog piled with coleslaw, whose sweetness I counter with a few freshly sliced jalapeños.
Itd be nice to be watching a ball game right about now, I tell Loren, whos laughing at our view of the Village Car Wash next door. We nab a New Yorker (pastrami with coleslaw and Thousand Island) to bring home for Lorens husband.
You got this at Surf Liquor? he asks incredulously, unwrapping the overstuffed, lean-meat sandwich. And despite his claim that hed always thought of Surf Liquor as a place to buy 40-ouncers, he enjoys every last bite.

Not even the magic of Fenway Park has been able to derail the Baltimore Orioles' charmed season, though the Green Monster hasn't been kind to its home denizens in 2012. The surprising Orioles will try for their sixth straight win on Saturday as they move closer to locking down their first postseason appearance since 1997. The Boston Red Sox, who are 33-44 at home, are fighting to stay out of the American League East cellar.
Baltimore has won nine of 13 meetings with Boston this season and needs just one win in the final five meetings to clinch the season series for the first time since 2004. The Orioles have won nine of 11 at Fenway Park. With 12 games to play, the Orioles don't need many more wins to clinch a playoff spot. They're one game behind the New York Yankees in the division and in position for the top wild-card spot, one game ahead of Oakland and 4 1/2 in front of the Los Angeles Angels.

Memories: Traditions
This series on how to make the most out of the time you have with your children is brought to you by Amee at Madame Deals and Sharon at Mom on Dealz.
I love to create traditions. I have a wonderful friend that shared her tradition with me for Father's day. She would go to the store and buy two poster boards. She would cut out the letters A and D. Then she would take pictures of her children holding the letters each year for Father's day. We now do this every year and the kids really enjoy getting involved. I let them pick the color of their letter and even decorate it. We will be buying three poster boards this year since we will have three children decorating the letter. I know it is something both my children and my husband appreciate and it is very reasonable. It is also a wonderful gift that we will all treasure for years to come.
You can see the personalities of our children in the first photo! Then in the second was the one I begged for. Then I took pictures of them each with a letter. I can't wait to do this years they have grown so much in the last year. They are already planning how they want to decorate their letter. I usually turn the pictures into black and white photos and use them to make my husband a mug.

which ipdf for simple zoom?
Hi All,
This has possibly been answered already, but please do help me out in this:
IS there a version of pdf reader that can give me progressive or incremental zoom? somewhat like the pViewer, but without reflow such that it works on pics also?
I have several pdfs which are scanned and hence contains no text. only pics of text in each page. Reflow doesnt work on these and I can see a lot of white space around the edges.
An incremental zoom could cut out the whitespace and zero in on the page stretching it and making it more readable.
As a possible approach(and to make a debut into some iliad dev work), I have been able to make a simple blind port of xpdf to the iliad.
This is currently dead slow, but works, and with lots of led flashes etc., and only stylus input works mostly.
This gives me a zoom select list box and doesnt reflow. A little mod of the src to remove the print func and reuse this to call the file open has helped me making it more useful.
I am looking for a better alternative...Any suggestions?

Some workers described being forced to strap on explosives-filled belts when Islamist militants stormed the site Wednesday. Others were shot on the spot…
One escaped worker, Stephen McFaul, said through a family spokesman that he initially avoided capture. McFaul, who is from Northern Ireland, locked himself in a room at the compound in the hopes of avoiding detection, said John Morrisey, a family spokesman briefed about the ordeal.
Over the course of the day, however, he was discovered and taken hostage, a fact he revealed to his worried wife and mother through brief telephone calls back home to West Belfast on Thursday morning.
As the militants prepared to move hostages to a more secure area later Thursday, McFaul was loaded on to one of several Jeeps, according to the family spokesman. But as the vehicles moved away, Algerian helicopters closed in on the convoy, raining down a barrage of heavy artillery that directly hit and severely damaged most of the vehicles, causing the one McFaul was traveling in to overturn.

Welcome to Malibu Sunset Watching, B*tch
Welcome to Malibu Sunset Watching, B*tch
OMG, you guys!!! This is so Seasons One/Two of The OC! Adam Brody, Ben McKenzie and some friends enjoyed the sunset and a few Amstel Lights (interesting choice, boys) on the beach in Malibu this week (while there is no visible bonfire, there is one in my heart). I think it goes without saying that this whole scene would be about a trillion times cuter with Bilson in tow, but it's still pretty great to see these boys hanging out after the demise of the show. You think afterwards they carpooled to a show at The Bait Shop? Or to the diner for a milkshake?!? Okay, I promise to let the OC die...someday.
To see more of the boys, beers, and beach just

Additional Information
- Northern pike are a prized subsistence and sport fish in their home range, north and west of the Alaska Mountain Range.
- However, illegal introductions of pike into Southcentral Alaska rivers and lakes have reduced the numbers of Chinook salmon, coho salmon, rainbow trout, and char available to anglers.
- The Division of Sport Fish has put together this instructional video to show you the many ways Pike can be taken in Southcentral.
- Find out which open water lure pike will chase and attack from yards away.
- Watch pike after pike caught by using spears, bow-fishing equipment, tip-ups, fly rods, even bobber and bait.
- Also, we've included a detailed step-by-step bonus section on how to create boneless fillets for any size pike.
How You Can Help
- Report illegal stocking immediately to your local ADF&G office, or to Fish and Wildlife Safeguard at 1-800-478-3377.
- Do not transport live fish, especially northern pike, from one water body to another.
- Keep all the pike you catch in Southcentral Alaska (be sure to check the fishing regulations). Brochure: How to fish for & fillet pike, recipes (PDF 625 kB)
- Attend ADF&G Advisory Committee meetings, and other public fisheries meetings. Advisory Committees are located in nearly every Southcentral Alaska community. Advisory Committees make proposals to the Alaska Board of Fisheries, many of which have become fishing regulations.

Late blight reports are on the rise!
Posted: September 8, 2011
Current map of confirmed reports of late blight on tomato and/or potato as of 8 Sept 2011 as reported on the USAblight website. Reports within the past week are in red while reports in blue are over a week old.
On Sept 1, 2011 late blight was confirmed on tomato in a home garden in Mercer Co., PA. The homeowner has since destroyed the plants. Earlier this week late was confirmed on potato in a commercial field in Erie Co., PA. The weather in the Northwest corner of PA has been perfect for late blight this past week with the heavy fog and early morning dews in addition to some sporadic thunderstorms. Samples from both confirmed reports have been sent for genotyping. So far this season, there have been four confirmed reports of late blight in Pennsylvania.
Additionally reports are coming out of New York on both tomato and potato almost daily so although we are nearing the end of the season, vigilant scouting is still important! For potato growers, foliar infections late in the season can still lead to tuber infection so consider vine killing immediately or applying a fungicide like Gavel, Previcur Flex or Ranman. The spores can wash off the leaves into the soil and directly infect the tubers especially when the soil is saturated and vines are not adequately hilled.
Remember that late blight is a community disease! If you suspect late blight please contact your local Penn State Cooperative Extension Office, the Penn State Plant Disease Clinic or Beth Gugino at email@example.com or 814-865-7328. For the most current map of confirmed late blight outbreaks please visit http://usablight.org.
