Dec 6 - Fitch Ratings has assigned an 'A+' rating to Wisconsin Electric Power Co.'s(WEPCO) new $250 million issue of 3.65% senior unsecured debentures due Dec. 15, 2042. The Rating Outlook is Stable. The new debentures will rank equally with WEPCO's other senior unsecured debt. Proceeds will be used to repay short-term debt and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Key Ratings Drivers Cash Flow Stability WEPCO's credit profile reflects the predictable cash flows of its regulated electric, gas, and steam businesses. Each of the businesses operate with a fuel and purchased power recovery mechanism that limits commodity price exposure and cash flow volatility and lowers business risk. Solid Credit Measures WEPCO's ratings are supported by credit protection measures that are consistent with Fitch's target financial ratios for those issuers rated with an 'A' Issuer Default Rating (IDR). Fitch expects the ratio of EBITDA/Interest to approximate 5.7 times (x), and Debt/EBITDA, 3.7x, over the 2012 - 2016 time period. Constructive Regulatory Compact The tariff structure in Wisconsin is favorable with above-average authorized returns on equity (ROEs), the use of forward-looking test years, a healthy equity component in the capital structure, and a partial cash return on construction work in progress (CWIP). On Nov. 28, 2012, WEPCO was granted a two-step net rate increase for its electric customers of approximately $115 million in 2013 and $75 million in 2014, including an authorized 10.4% return on equity. The net rate increases incorporate renewable energy tax grant offsets generated by WEPCO for its investments in the Rothschild biomass facility and other renewables. The rate increase reflects cost recovery of previously-approved investments in pollution-control equipment at the old Oak Creek units, the Glacier Hills Wind Park project which went online in December 2011, construction costs at the Rothschild biomass plant, and the finalization of Oak Creek PTF expansion costs. A final written order by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission is expected by the end of December 2012. Fitch believes the rate decision to be supportive of projected credit metrics. Adequate Liquidity WEPCO's liquidity is supported by a $500 million bank credit facility that expires in December 2013. At Sept. 30, 2012, there was $255.4 million of borrowings outstanding under the credit facility, and WEPCO had $12.1 million of cash on hand. Fitch considers debt maturities to be manageable with $300 million due in 2013, $300 million due in 2014, and $250 million due in 2015. Elevated Capital Spending Capital investments are expected to approximate $2 billion over the 2012-2014 time frame. Capital spending will focus primarily on the upgrade of WEPCO's aging distribution infrastructure, with investments in renewables and pollution control equipment at the old Oak Creek units near completion. Fitch expects WEPCO to use a balanced mix of internally generated cash flows and debt issuances to support funding needs, and the company should continue to have ample access to capital markets. WHAT COULD TRIGGER A RATING ACTION Positive Rating Actions No positive rating action is anticipated in the near term. Negative Rating Actions --Inability to recover future capital investments on a timely basis could have a negative impact on ratings. --A decline on a sustainable basis in EBITDA/interest below 5x and Debt/EBITDA above 4x could lead to a rating action.

I think you'll all remember me putting a turned bowl into a cardboard box with all of it's chipping. The wood chipping help to draw all the moisture out of the bowl.
I opened the box yesterday and you can see its drying out slowly, and leaving red dots around the bowl. (Don't forget to click on the images to get a larger shot)
I didn't like the dots and this has happened in a previous bowl. So I took the opportunity of putting the bowl back on the lathe. The bowl ran smooth, and I turned a clean edge off thew bowl as you can see.
Below you can see the bowl in all of its wood chipping and a new bowl and its wood chipping replacing it! – I might have to get more than one cardboard box!

text: On October 26, 2012, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Company's executive officers, concluded that due to these inventory related accounting errors within the Company's ROW segment in two countries as described above, the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2009 through 2011 and the related reports of its independent registered public accounting firm, the interim periods during those years, and the financial statements as of, and for the periods ended March 30, 2012 and June 29, 2012 should no longer be relied upon.Based on preliminary information relating to these errors, the Company currently estimates that it understated cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008, and for the three months ended March 30, 2012 and six months ended June 29, 2012, by $17.3 million, $5.7 million, $8.6 million, $6.2 million, $1.2 million, and $3.5 million, respectively. The Company currently estimates that it overstated inventory balances as of December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008, March 30, 2012 and June 29, 2012, by $39.0 million, $26.6 million, $19.5 million, $8.0 million, $41.1 million and $39.8 million, respectively. The understated goodwill and overstated inventory associated with the acquisition of PDIC in the fourth quarter of 2007 are each currently estimated at $3.4 million. The Company continues to analyze the impact of these inventory accounting related errors on its prior financial statements. Management's foregoing estimates are based solely on current preliminary data and are subject to change upon completion of its internal review of the Company's prior financial statements. During the ongoing process of preparing restated financial statements, if it is determined that there are other adjustments for these periods, the Company will include such corrections in its restated financial statements. The Company intends to correct the effect of the accounting errors described above on previously issued interim financial statements by restating the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 that will be presented comparatively in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 28, 2012 and amending previously filed Forms 10-Q for the periods ended June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012. Contemporaneous with the filing of the above referenced Quarterly Reports, the Company also intends to file an Annual Report on Form 10-K/A to restate previously issued annual financial statements and related financial information contained therein as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the three year period then ended.

The style became very popular with women in the early 1900s (as worn by actress Clara Bow, for example), with the fashion dying out in the thirties. The style reemerged in the sixties around the time the Beatles introduced their "mop tops", with Vidal Sassoon leading the way in styling women's hair in a bob cut again. Personally, I like it ...

9. Beethoven's Third : EROICA
Beethoven originally dedicated his Symphony No. 3 to Napoleon Bonaparte. Beethoven admired the principles of the French Revolution and as such respected Bonaparte who was "born" out of the uprising. When Napoleon declared himself Emperor, Beethoven (and much of Europe) saw this as a betrayal to the ideals of the revolution so he changed the name of his new symphony from "Bonaparte" to "Eroica", meaning "heroic" or "valiant".
11. Herr's heirs? : SOHNE
The German word for "boy" is "Junge", and the word for "son" is "Sohn".
15. Adjust at Moody's, say : RERATE
Moody's is a credit rating agency which ranks the creditworthiness of borrowers, a service also provided by Standard & Poor's. Moody's was started in 1909 by John Moody when he published a book containing analysis of railroad securities.
18. Petruchio's task vis-à-vis Katharina : TAMING
William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" is about a courting couple. The male is Petruchio, a gentleman of Verona, and the female is Katharina, the so-called "shrew". As the play progresses, the "shrew" is "tamed" and becomes an "obedient" bride ... a controversial storyline in the contemporary world, to say the least. Regardless, modern adaptations have been made, including 1948's Broadway musical "Kiss Me Kate" and the 1999 romantic comedy "10 Things I Hate About You".
21. Herring relatives : SHADS
The shad is also known as the river herring. The eggs (roe) of the female shad are prized as a delicacy in the Eastern US.
24. Mini mints : TIC TACS
Tic Tacs aren't American candy (as I always mistakenly believed). Tic Tacs are made by the Italian company Ferrero, and were introduced in 1969.
31. Sandpiper's domain : SHORE
Sandpipers are a family of shore birds that mainly feed on small invertebrates picked out of the sand using their long beaks.
33. Whom the witches deem "lesser than Macbeth, and greater" : BANQUO
Banquo is a character in William Shakespeare's "Macbeth". Banquo is the thane of the Scottish province of Lochaber. Macbeth has him murdered, only to have Banquo's ghost return and haunt him.
48. Tombstone figure : EARP
Wyatt Earp is famous as one of the participants in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Earp was a city policeman in Wichita, Kansas and also in Dodge City, Kansas. Earp was also deputy sheriff in Tombstone, Arizona where the O.K. Corral gunfight took place. Years later, Earp joined the Alaska Gold Rush and with a partner built and operated the Dexter Saloon in Nome.
50. Image in the "Jurassic Park" logo, familiarly : T REX
The Tyrannosaurus rex (usually written T. rex) was a spectacular looking dinosaur. "Tyrannosaurus" comes from the Greek words "tyrannos" (tyrant) and "sauros" (lizard), and the "rex" is of course Latin for "king". They were big boys, measuring 42 feet long and 13 feet tall at the hips, and weighing 7.5 tons.
"Jurassic Park" is a 1990 novel by Michael Crichton, adapted into a hugely successful movie by Steven Spielberg in 1993. One of the main premises of the novel is that dinosaur DNA could be harvested from mosquitoes trapped in amber (fossilized tree resin), the DNA coming from the dinosaur blood consumed by the mosquitoes. The dinosaur DNA is then sequenced and used to create clones of the original beasts. A clever idea, but apparently not very practical from what I've read ...
52. "The Prodigal Son," for one : PARABLE
The Parable of the Prodigal Son is related in the Gospel of Luke. Someone who is "prodigal" is wasteful or extravagant. The parable tells of a man with two sons. The youngest asks for and receives his share of the family estate, and then spends it all unwisely. The "prodigal" son returns, to an unwelcoming older brother. The father, however, declares happily that his son "was lost and now is found".
57. Feature of the Nixon tapes : GAP
Famously, there is a gap of 18½ minutes in the Nixon White House tapes. Rose Mary Woods, President Nixon's secretary, reported that she was reviewing one of the tapes when she accidentally hit record instead of the stop button, causing about 5 minutes of erasure. There is an additional 13 minutes of "buzzing" that she could not explain. There has been much speculation about what actually happened, as a review of notes made in the meeting covered by the tape show that the arrests made at the Watergate were discussed.
58. Wee, in Dundee : SMA
The city of Dundee lies on the north bank of the Firth of Tay in Scotland. The origins of the name "Dundee" are a little obscure, although the omnipresent "dùn" in place names all over Scotland and Ireland is the Celtic word for "fort".
60. First lady McKinley : IDA
Ida Saxton met Bill McKinley at a picnic in 1867, just before she headed off to Europe on a "grand tour". So, the two had to wait until 1869 before they started courting. The couple married in 1871 in Canton, Ohio, Ida's hometown. Ida McKinley developed epilepsy before her husband was elected to President of the US and became very dependent on him to provide physical and moral support. She always sat by his side at public functions, breaking with the tradition of the President hosting some of the guests, and the First Lady others. After her husband was assassinated, Mrs. McKinley could not bring herself to attend her husband's funeral, and then withdrew from public view to her home in Canton. She passed away six years after her husband, in 1907.
62. Guitar accessory : CAPO
A capo is a clamp-like device that is placed around the neck of a guitar to shorten the strings, and hence raise the pitch. The full name, rarely used these days, is "capo tasto", which is Italian for "head tie".
66. Island that may have an apostrophe in its name : O'AHU
O'ahu has been called "The Gathering Place", although the word "O'ahu" has no translation in Hawaiian. It seems that O'ahu is simply the name of the island. One story is that it is named after the son of the Polynesian navigator that first found the islands. The island is made up of two volcanoes, Wai'anae and Ko'olau, joined together by a broad valley, the O'ahu Plain.
67. Light amount? : WATT
James Watt was a Scottish inventor, a man who figured prominently in the Industrial Revolution in Britain largely due to the improvements he made to the fledgling steam engine. The SI unit of power is called the watt, named in his honor.
68. Martial arts level : DAN
Judo is a martial art from Japan that was developed relatively recently, in 1882. The name "judo" translates as "gentle way". Practitioners of judo proceed through a series of proficiency grades known as the kyu-dan system. At each progression, a different colored belt is awarded.
71. "Breakfast at Tiffany's" novelist : CAPOTE
The larger-than-life Truman Capote was a celebrated author and comedian. Capote is perhaps most associated with his novella "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and his true crime novel "In Cold Blood". Truman Capote grew up in Monroeville, Alabama. There he met, and became lifelong friends with, fellow novelist Harper Lee. Capote was the inspiration for the character "Dill" in Lee's celebrated work "To Kill a Mockingbird". In turn, Harper Lee was the inspiration for the character "Idabel" in Capote's "Other Voices, Other Rooms".
74. Heads of staff? : G-CLEFS
Clef is the French word for "key". In music, a clef is used to indicate the pitch of the notes written on the stave. The bass clef is also known as the F-clef, and the treble clef is the G-clef.
76. Archetypal postwar suburb : LEVITTOWN
There are four suburban communities called Levittown in the US, each developed just after WWII by William Levitt. The houses were built primarily for returning veterans and their families. The four Levittowns are located in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Puerto Rico.
78. ___ Janney, four-time "West Wing" Emmy winner : ALLISON
Allison Janney is a favorite actress of mine who I first encountered on "The West Wing" TV show. She is now playing one of the moms on the sitcom "Mom".
79. Theme : MOTIF
A motif is a recurring element in an artistic work or design.
82. Nourishment for a plant embryo : ENDOSPERM
The germ of a cereal (like wheat and oat) is the reproductive part that germinates and grows into a new plant. A whole grain has three main parts:
- the germ, the source of the new plant
- the endosperm, the energy store of carbohydrate and protein for initial growth
- the bran, protective outer shell
83. Hessian river : EDER
The Eder is a river in Germany, a tributary of the Fulda River. The Eder has a dam near the small town of Waldeck which holds water in the large Edersee reservoir. This was one of the dams that was attacked by the RAF during WWII with the famous Barnes Wallis bouncing bombs. It was destroyed in the Dam Busters raid in 1943, but rebuilt the same year.
Hesse is a German state. The capital of Hesse is Wiesbaden, although the largest city in the state is Frankfurt.
95. "The Prince and the Showgirl" co-star, 1957 : MONROE
"The Prince and the Showgirl" is a 1957 movie starring Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier. There's a 2011 film called "My Week with Marilyn" that is set during the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl".
98. Canine protector : ENAMEL
Tooth enamel covers the crowns of our teeth. Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. It is composed of 96% crystalline calcium phosphate.
The canine teeth of a mammal are also called the eye teeth. The name "canine" is used because these particular teeth are very prominent in dogs. The name "eye" is used because in humans the eye teeth are located in the upper jaw, directly below the eyes.
100. John who founded Methodism : WESLEY
The Methodist movement started within the Church of England in the 1700s, inspired mainly by the teachings of John Wesley and his younger brother Charles.

The Liao Dynasty in China ruled over much of the country between the years 916 and 1125. The dynasty was also known as the Empire of the Khitan.
110. Hardy heroine : TESS
The full name of Thomas Hardy's 1891 novel is "Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented". When it was originally published, "Tess ..." received very mixed reviews, largely because it addresses some difficult sexual themes including rape, and sexual double standards (society's attitude towards men vs women). I suppose the most celebrated screen adaptation is Roman Polanski's "Tess" released in 1979. Polanski apparently made "Tess" because his wife, Sharon Tate, gave him Hardy's novel as her last act before she was murdered by the Manson family. There is a dedication at the beginning of the movie that simply reads "To Sharon".
112. The Horned Frogs of the Big 12 Conf. : TCU
The athletic teams of Texas Christian University (TCU) are known as the TCU Horned Frogs. The Texas horned lizard is known colloquially as the "horned frog".

Dungeons & Dragons is a complex role-playing game first published in 1974, by Tactical Studies Rules Incorporated (TSR).

Sen. Dan CoatsDaniel (Dan) Ray CoatsThe Hill's 12:30 Report DOJ warns the media could be targeted in crackdown on leaks Conway: Leaks of Trump's calls should have 'chilling effect' MORE (R-Ind.) accidentally sat in on the wrong hearing Wednesday and didn't realize until after he asked a witness a lengthy question.
"I just got a note saying I'm at the wrong hearing," Coats said more than an hour into it.
Coats entered the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on general government late, just a few minutes before he started speaking and discovered his mistake.
On Thursday, Coats joked about his mistake on Twitter, and said he suspects Russians have been tampering with his schedule.
I think the Russians have been messing with my schedule. But I never miss a chance to tout IN's talented workforce http://t.co/uV0h5nnZXI— Senator Dan Coats (@SenDanCoats) April 3, 2014
Coats went on to praise a Pentagon undersecretary for his prompt response to a letter the senator sent about the Indiana National Guard. Lawmakers, however, were examining the Treasury Department's budget for the office of terrorism and financial intelligence.
According to The Washington Post, Coats was supposed to be at an appropriations hearing on the budgets for the Defense Department and Army down the hall.
"I've got the right room number but the wrong hearing," Coats said. "Well, this is the first time this has ever happened to me," he added.
Coats, 70, served in the Senate from 1989–1999, and was reelected to Congress in 2010. Between his congressional stints, he served as U.S. Ambassador to Germany. He's up for reelection in 2016.

Complete Weekly Press Release in PDF Format
The Wyoming Cowboys will host Chadron State College of Chadron, Neb., on Tuesday night, Nov. 8 in UW's second and final exhibition game of the 2005-06 season. The game is scheduled to tipoff at 7 p.m. in Wyoming's Arena-Auditorium.

Newt And Callista Began Affair In 1993
February 4, 2012 by staff
Newt And Callista Began Affair In 1993, Enough about how America would feel about having Newt Gingrich as the president of the United States after his known personal problems of the past with infidelity. Remembering the old adage which says 'it takes two to tango,' how would America feel about Newt's tango partner being FLOTUS – the First Lady of the United States?
While Newt Gingrich may fly past the criticism and end up becoming the 45th president, would a FLOTUS like Callista Gingrich get the same pass? If Newt continues a successful route to the White House with Callista in tow, having a past-adulterous couple in the White House will be yet another first for the nation that keeps thinking – or hopes – it's seen it all.
Yes, Americans have had Bill Clinton with his shenanigans in the Oval Office of the White House, but his wife Hillary came out smelling like a rose. There was talk of other past presidents being naughty, too – you probably know the ones – but the women were viewed as near-saintly in their trusting stance alongside their conniving men. After all, all the rumor-laden history books can't be wrong. Beyond JFK, at least once it was printed that even Richard Nixon was naughty during his White House years – as difficult as that may be to envision.
Nonetheless, America is now faced with the possibility of having the first adulterous FLOTUS bedding down at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – or, as far as we know, she would be the first one.
This is not being scandalous either. It has been published that Callista Gingrich testified in 1999 that she and Newt began an affair in 1993 – which was when Newt was still married to his second wife Marianne Gingrich. Marianne, of course, just made headlines for Newt by appearing in an ABC-TV 'Nightline' interview in which she said Newt requested an open marriage which was to involve Callista. And Newt, of course, denied the story before it even aired as he was answering a question about his second ex-wife's comment during a live GOP presidential debate on CNN just hours before the nation saw the ex's interview.
If all of this sounds incredibly and unbelievably confusing – and unreal – pinch yourself – it's real. It's not like the White House walls will start shaking if Newt and Callista move in the White House, but let's face it, it's going to be a major change from having the wholesome family images of Barack and Michelle Obama, or of George W. and Laura Bush – or even of the Mitt Romneys or the Rick Santorums or the Ron Pauls.
Here's what we know about the potential FLOTUS Callista Gingrich, other than the fact that she messed around with Newt while he was married to Marianne in the 1990s and became Newt's third wife sometime after he divorced his second wife.
She was born on March 4, 1966 in Whitehall, Wisconsin and named Callista Louise Bisek. While her biggest claim to fame is having had an affair with and is now married to former U.S. Speaker of the House and GOP presidential candidate of 2012 Newt Gingrich, she is also an honored graduate of Luther College in Decorah, Iowa and currently the president of Gingrich Productions which is based in Washington, D.C. Additionally, she is the president of the Gingrich Foundation, a charitable nonprofit corporation.
She has done voice work on films at Gingrich Productions, written children's books, and has had her photography published by name publishers. The third Mrs. Newt Gingrich also sings and plays the French horn. According to Wikipedia, she is a Republican – which most people have figured out – and a Roman Catholic.
Through the years, she worked in Washington, D.C. from 1988 to 2005 as a staffer in the United States House of Representatives, for the House Committee on Agriculture, and in the congressional office of Representative Steve Gunderson who is a Republican from Callista's home state of Wisconsin. Undoubtedly, she met Newt sometime after 1988 when she began working and playing in the nation's capital – the same town that Newt was working in during the 1990s.
She currently lives in McClean, Virginia with husband Newt.
So, Callista Gingrich as the First Lady of the United States. Though this certainly wasn't what Barack Obama would have meant back in 2008, perhaps we're finally going to get a 'change' in the White House like he promised us.

Australian cosplayer Major Sam owned the Sydney Oz Comic Con thanks to an incredible Carlotta cosplay from The Phantom Of The Opera that won her the OZCC Champions of Cosplay award.
The cape took about 60 hours to make and 3,000 plus beads were individually sewn in. Now that's dedication.
Sam also cosplayed Miss Kitty from The Great Mouse Detective at OZCC, so we included a picture of that cosplay as well, but it's easy to see why Carlotta won the weekend.
See more pictures after the break.

Antica Trattoria chef honors his southern Italian roots
Early last summer, I pulled into Antica Trattoria on Bonita Beach Road in the middle of a rainstorm. The parking lot was deserted, the front door was open and the tables were unoccupied. Not good omens, obviously, but it was too late to turn around and find another restaurant to review.
So, we sat down and ordered glasses of wine. That's when the server told us: They were closing for summer the next day. Chef-owner Antonio Scotto insisted on cooking for us anyway and encouraged us to return in the fall. I can't remember what he served us from his diminished pantry, but it was good, wholesome Italian food and the hospitality and integrity mattered more than the specific dish.
I do remember the chef bemoaning the fact that most customers wanted the familiar, tried-and-true dishes — parmigiana, picatta, puttanesca — while he yearned to celebrate his culinary roots in the coastal Campania region of southwestern Italy. He vowed to represent the region when he came back after the summer hiatus.
True to his word, Mr. Scotto has a full complement of chef's selections on his current menu. He pays homage to the rustic pleasures of braised rabbit (must be ordered two days in advance), sautéed beef tripe, beef braciola and grilled octopus with cannellini. The nine selections allow him to satisfy his soul while placating the predictable American palate with the rest of the menu. There are chicken and veal dishes prepared in seven variations, seven basic pasta dishes and a few baked ones, and a half-dozen seafood entrees.
The door once again was open when we arrived on a Friday night — a sign of welcome or is the air conditioning not functioning properly? The story inside this time was different. There were numerous parties eating and continuing to come in. Chef Scotto and another cook were busy in the open kitchen, and the staff appeared to be struggling a bit to keep up.
Located in a former fast food restaurant between U.S. 41 and the beach since 2015, Antica Trattoria has an open, casual feel with lots of natural light. Tables are well spaced apart in the ivory, black and burgundy dining area. The restaurant serves only beer and wine, and the selections could stand to be expanded. If you only want a glass of the grape, you have to settle for house wine. Our Pinot Noir was $8 a glass and just OK. Bottle options run a reasonable $22-$95 and favor Italians with just a few California products.
First to arrive were big yeasty rolls slick with butter and with just a hint of garlic — a nice change from the usual garlic knots or crusty bread.
From the short list of appetizers, we zeroed in on mussels Vesuvio ($8). The dozen glossy black shellfish all opened to reveal plump, tender mussels within. They were sautéed in a simple sauce of cherry tomatoes and garlic and served atop slices of toasted bread that soaked up some of the sweet sauce. With the name Vesuvio, I was expecting a pop of heat, perhaps from crushed red pepper, but that was not the case. Nevertheless, the sauce was a flavorful pairing for the shellfish.
The fried zucchini planks ($9) were very lightly battered, almost like tempura, and dusted with Parmesan. They were obviously hand cut, not out of a freezer like your typical chain restaurant. Tossed in for good measure were bite-sized potato croquettes that were crispy on the outside and creamy within. A thin tomato sauce was provided for dipping.
House salads were included, and they were composed of fresh greens with red pepper slivers, shredded carrot and black olives.
As regular readers know, we eat at a lot of Italian restaurants because they just keep proliferating. Mr. Scotto is making the effort to offer something beyond the usual Italian-American repertoire, so we decided to focus on his chef's selections for our main course.
The Polipo al Tegamo ($24) features octopus, which seems to be enjoying a moment in the culinary spotlight after decades of indifference in America. Here it's gently simmered in a fresh cherry-tomato sauce seasoned with a bit of garlic, wine and fresh basil. Slow cooking renders the leg meat incredibly tender and imbues it with mouthwatering tomato flavor. A generous portion is ladled over cavatelli pasta for a delicious and hearty entree.
Another chef's selection, Granchio e Gamberi all Nerone ($26), showcased some of our local waters' treasures. Hefty chunks of jumbo lump crabmeat and three grilled jumbo shrimp were tucked into a bed of "lentil polenta," a smooth puree with a mild flavor that played a strong supporting role for the dish. The main attraction, of course, was the crab and perfectly grilled shell-on shrimp. The only fault with this entrée: dollops of pesto that had the bitter taste of old or jarred basil sauce. There was fresh basil on the premises — we saw the chef plucking leaves for garnish from a plant kept on the kitchen counter. Considering the care taken with the dish's other ingredients, it's hard to understand the misstep.
Mr. Scotto's wife, Claudia Plaza, is the pastry chef behind such delights as a pear and dark chocolate tart, complete with buttery crust, and flaky, pastrycrème stuffed Napoleon ($7 each).
Go ahead and indulge. Antica Trattoria honors the traditions of the old country well. ¦

How do you decrement quantity on hand as users enter quantities and submit form?Asked by Larry Pensinger on October 23, 2014 at 10:02 AM
I'd like to offer products of limited quantity and reduce the on hand inventory as users submit the form with a quantity. The updated quantity would then show on the form for the next person to view and order accordingly. At some point the quantity on hand might reach zero and no more would be available.

How can I change the radio button dot to a check mark?Asked by mreinan on September 27, 2016 at 01:11 PM
How do I get a checkmark to show on the radio buttons?
JotForm Support Manager
To get that effect, we have a widget called Line Radio buttons
I hope this is what you are looking for.
It doesn't. When I am in the designer section of creating a form there is the radio button options. They show a dot and a check. I want the checkmark and not the dot.
Matt Reinan
JotForm Support
Hey Matt, I'm assuming you're referring to the radio/checkbox templates you see on the Form Designer:
As you would have noticed on the short clip above, the check design only applies to checkboxes (and the dots to radio buttons respectively). It was designed that way to preserve the traditional way of representing these 2 input fields ever since.
As a gentle reminder, it may create confusion to your end-users since everyone is used to seeing radio buttons as dots and checkboxes as checks.
Nonetheless, if you really need a check icon for a radio button, as an alternative, try the widget suggested by my manager https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/line_radio_buttons

Pakistan pushed the tension to the wire on Friday at Dubai to win the fourth one-dayer against South Africa with just one wicket and one ball to spare. With this classic nail-biting win, they draw level yet again and keep the series alive. Zulqarnain Haider and Wahab Riaz put on an unlikely stand for the 9th wicket before the former hit the winning run to reach the stiff target of 275.
Morne Morkel dismissed the dangerous Abdul Razzaq in the 47th over, having already got Younis Khan out for a patient 73 and it seemed that South Africa would run away with the match and the series. Pakistan needed 31 off 23 balls, but again the bowling and fielding slumped under pressure and Pakistan came out tops. Graeme Smith couldn't hold on to a catch from the blistering Wahab Riaz and then Dale Steyn leaked 12 runs in the 48th over as two short ones were pulled to fine leg.
Johan Botha missed a chance to run out Wahab when he sent in a wild throw from the outfield, allowing him to come back for a third in the 49th over while Morkel gave away two overthrows when trying to aim for the stumps in his follow-through. The drama wouldn't let up even with Pakistan needing four of the last over as Wahab was eventually run out.
Three runs were required of the last three balls, when Haider leveled the scores with a chip to midwicket. Parnell lost the chance to win the match for his side when he failed to throw the ball into the stumps. Haider sealed the deal in the next ball with a gentle nudge to square leg and the match was over.
Upto the last few overs, it appeared that South Africa has done everything right. Even though, the in-form Hashim Amla got out for 10 and Jacques Kallis followed suit, opener Graeme Smith, who was returning to the match after being out with a hand injury, pressed on. He forged a valuable partnership of nearly one hundred runs with A B de Villiers, before being LBW to Mohammed Hafeez for 92. The middle order then came to the fore with useful innings from Duminy (36) and Ingram (27) and when Miller was out for a duck, Botha came in to a muscle a few shots around. He raced to 28 off just 15 balls in an innings punctuated with 6 fours.
In response, Pakistan was positive in the start for even though Farhat went quickly to Morkel, his partner Hafeez came out with something of a blitz, hitting 42 in 29 balls. Steyn returned to remove him with a successful shout for LBW while Younis Khan and Asad Shafiq pushed on, adding 56 for the third wicket. The performance in the middle overs was patchy with Fawad Alam getting out for a mere 6 and then smallish innings from Shahid Afridi and Abdul Razzaq. But in the end, Pakistan was just able to keep it's nose in front and win. Younis Khan won a well-deserved Man of the Match for his crucial innings.

|This is part of Sony Vaio support as it applies to my particular situation. After several visits to MS updates it is still noted as a Malicious script. Either you can authorize it and be informed of updates or disable it. Although the later may not be much better, being that any critical updates will have to be manually searched and installed. In my opinion Sony don't have need, cause, or time to be probing all our miniscule PCs with spyware. Just be sure of the source. I have heard of an instance of association with a virus. Thus the warning some Antivirus programs prompt action. Gr82Bstr8

Did You Know?
The original pandect was the "Pandectae," a massive fifty-volume digest of Roman civil law that was created under the emperor Justinian in the 6th century. The Latin word pandectae is the plural of "pandectes," which means "encyclopedic work" or "book that contains everything." "Pandectes" in turn derives from the Greek pandekt‡s ("all-receiving"), from "pan-" ("all") and "dechesthai" ("to receive"). When the word pandect first cropped up in English in the mid-16th century, it referred to the complete code of laws of a particular country or system. Its "comprehensive treatise" sense developed later that century.

New Years 50, 75, or 100 Challenge for ALS
Wed 01/01/2014
Elite, Military, Off-road/Trail, Other
Let's take those New Years resolutions to the next level! Let's commit to the miles, make them count towards a greater cause, and earn some bling in the process! From the start of the new year (12/1/14) until the end of January (1/31/14) dedicate yourself to staying/getting in shape and logging those miles as you look forward to a new calender year and 365 days of opportunity. I want to help you stay on target with your health this year. The Spartan Files Challenge asks of you to run 50, 75, or 100 miles during the opening month of the year. Keep track of your miles through RunKeeper (my personal favorite), Daily Mile, Strava, Garmin, Nike+ or any other app available to you and report each week your results in the comments below. Some participants are faster than others, some have more endurance, but here it doesn't matter. This is not a race, just a simple challenge to rack up the miles at your own pace on your own time. For the efforts you put forth will be rewarded with a Spartan Files Challenge Medal for conquering your goal. The medals will be tiered, which each medal being exponentially cooler than the last. In addition, I wanted to do something special for this challenge, so part of every entry fee will go to the ALS Association. *Awards will be shipped in the middle of February. You must report your miles and be listed as a finisher to receive a medal at the end of the challenge, without a report your entry fee will be considered as a donation Registration: $30.00 Registration Date Closes: January 31st, 2014 HOW TO REPORT YOUR MILES? The Challenge officially begins Wednesday, January 1st, 2014 but registration will be open until the challenge ends on Friday January 31st, 2014 (anybody up for 100 miles in a week?). During that time you can log your miles using your favorite smartphone app, GPS watch, or simply do it the old fashioned way in a training journal, on your calendar, or keep a tally on the fridge! At the end of each week report in the comments section below how many miles you ran over the last 7 days and the total you have completed for the month with an accompanying image for verification. The day you complete any tier (50, 75, or 100 miles) report it AND email me (here) with your name and you will be added to the finishers list on this page with date completed. You can keep logging miles and work your way up to the new level until the cut-off date. DO I HAVE TO RUN THE WHOLE THING? The goal is to run your mileage but depending on your individual fitness level your miles might consist of running, jogging, hiking and walking. This is not about how fast you can run but about accomplishing a goal! WHERE CAN I RUN? Down the road, around the block, at the track, through the woods, on the treadmill...the location is up to you! Feel free to mix it up but whatever you decide be sure to record your efforts! WHEN DO I GET MY AWARD? All awards will be shipped after the end of the challenge, I anticipate to send them out mid-February. Whether you finish in the first week or on the last day all the awards will be sent out at the same time. HELPING YOURSELF WHILE HELPING OTHERS/ABOUT THE ALS ASSOCIATION I am excited to announce that a portion of the proceeds will benefit the ALS Association. An organization that leads the fight to treat and cure Lou Gehrig's Disease through global research and advocacy with also empowering people with ALS and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support. Know while you are completing your miles you are helping a child get active, healthy and set new goals! This is a cause that really hits home with me and my family as my grandfather succumbed to the disease in 2008. I have personally witnessed the quick, but yet slow degeneration of a healthy and active man to his final resting place. Your registration for the challenge includes a donation to the ALSA, but you can add an additional donation to your registration is you are moved to do so; I have it set up on the entry form.
