Congressman Jim Himes (CT-4) joined the Women's Business Development Center (WBDC) in Stamford today to highlight how new federal investment will assist the center in creating jobs and helping women entrepreneurs. The funding, secured by Himes and WBDC through the appropriations process, will be used by the center to expand their services to more businesses. The meeting took place at the Stamford Arts Association, a client of WBDC.
"WBDC is working with women every single day to help them create jobs and improve their businesses," said Congressman Himes. "Investments like this help real people create real jobs, and it couldn't be more necessary in the tough economic times we now face."
WBDC provides professional guidance for women in Connecticut seeking to start or expand a small business. As a result of the recession, WBDC's services are in even greater demand. This specific funding will be used to expand the center's existing operations to focus on residents who have lost their jobs or entrepreneurs whose businesses are struggling as a result of the current challenging economic situation. In addition to helping create new businesses, the organization is also working with established businesses to help restore lines of credit, salvage jobs, restructure debt, and reorganize operations.
"The Congressman is a strong advocate for local businesses and women entrepreneurs," said Fran Pastore, CEO of WBDC. "The funding he helped secure will give WBDC the boost we need to expand services and training to more women, creating both more jobs and more taxpayers."
WBDC is a non-profit, micro-enterprise development organization whose goal is to boost economic independence for women through entrepreneurial training, workshops in small business development, technical assistance, and courses in financial and career counseling. They also provide educational opportunity for women who may be socially or economically disadvantaged through a scholarship program.

It's peaceful, beautiful, relaxing. Most wonderful setting overlooking the mountains. As mentioned in other reviews, the cabins are lovely, clean and comfortable. The kitchen offers all the basics if you feel like cooking but the food delivered from the neighbors is delicious, no need to cook really. We enjoyed the pool and sauna, the amazing sky at night and the quiet surroundings. You will need a rental car as El Sol is outside Santa Elena. And the streets really are an adventure, try to arrive before it gets dark.
Javier and Elisabeth are very special hosts and made our stay pleasant and relaxing.
Yes there are cheaper options in the town. But when we return we will make sure to stay at El Sol again. It's just one of a kind. Thank you.

When it comes to summer food pairings, nothing beats the season for beer and barbecue. So we decided to bring the two together for the grilling sensation of beer can chicken. Shake off the novelty and kitschy apparatus you may have seen, because this pairing actually works! Beer serves for both function and flavour in this recipe, producing tender and juicy chicken while imparting seasoned and characterful flavour.
Here's also an opportunity to try out and support quality local craft brews. We recommend for this recipe a light to medium ale. Try a malty brown ale like Neustadt 10W30, the hoppy West coast style pale ale 'Crazy Canuck' from Great Lakes Brewery, or go gluten-free with your beer with the option from Nickle Brook Brewery's light and glutenless ale (all the beers are homegrown Ontario brews and easily found at the LCBO).
Once you've picked out your choice of beer, all you need is a chicken (approximately 5 pounds) and a generous helping of your favourite barbecue spice rub. If you're crafty enough to make your own rub, check out this recipe from the Toronto Star.
1) Start by removing the neck and insides of the chicken and pat dry with paper towels
2) Coat the chicken with a light layer of olive oil and a generous rub down of barbecue seasoning
3) This is the fun part: open the can of beer and take a sip or two (about 2-3 ounces worth). Using a bottle/juice can opener, make another hole into the top of the can. Fit the bird upside down onto the beer can so that it is secure and sitting upright on its own
4) Prepare the grill by making a trough of the coals and fitting a foil drip tray to catch drippings
5) Set the chicken standing up with beer can side down, on a medium-high grill on indirect heat
6) Cook for approximately 1.5 hours or when the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees. Be careful when transferring the chicken off the grill as the beer can and juices will be hot
7) Allow to rest for 10 minutes and carve. Serve with the usual barbecue fixin' accompaniments.
This recipe was inspired by Imbibe Magazine. Be creative and put your own twist to the recipe by changing up the style of beer, flavour profile of the spice rub and even adding some of the spice into the beer can before stuffing.

It's nearly impossible to do marketing today without a customer relationship management (CRM) system.
So the question isn't, Do you need a CRM?
It's, Which CRM will give you the most bang for your buck?
Hubspot is one of the leading CRMs on the market, and for good reason. It's not a perfect tool, but it's pretty darn close.
We use Hubspot for Flight Media's marketing, and we recommend it to all our clients, too. (Disclaimer: We're a Hubspot partner.)
Let's dive into what Hubspot can and can't do, and decide if it's right for you!
What Hubspot Isn't
We're not afraid to tell clients when Hubspot won't work for them. If you fall into any of these categories, it's probably not the best CRM tool for you to use, either.
It's not a crockpot. You know how wonderful a crockpot is? You can toss in all the ingredients for dinner, turn it on, and walk away – essentially, going on with life until you're ready to eat dinner.
Hubspot isn't like this. It won't generate results all by itself. You need to know how to use the powerful tools in order to get results. You have to commit time and resources (or hire someone to do it for you), taking the time to generate content and build a strategic marketing campaign to get results.
You're not ready to scale. One of the perks of CRM tool like Hubspot is that it's highly customizable. If your business doesn't need this kind of powerful tool, it's not worth investing in it.
You won't use a majority of its tools. This CRM is a powerful solution that has tons of features. It's basically an all-in-one tool. So, if you're not posting on social media, growing an email list, offering lots of content, and analyzing metrics to tweak your results, you could probably get by with another, less-robust tool.
What Hubspot Is
The Hubspot CRM is ideal for businesses:
- Who want to align marketing and sales.
- Who sell a product or service.
- Who are small or medium sized.
- Who need a tool that's easy to learn and use.
- Is available no matter where you are. Just connect to the internet, and you have access to the CRM.
- Who need a tool that integrates with tons of other tools and programs.
- Who want comprehensive reporting tools in an easy-to-read visual format.
- Who need custom reporting.
- Who are looking for an interface that's easy to manage.
- Who need a secure CRM tool.
- Who want a tool that's optimized for mobile.
- Who want to test the tool with a free version of the CRM.
- Who need their marketing and sales team to use the same database.
- Who understand the value of a great marketing and sales funnel
- Who want to send highly segmented emails – to the right contacts at the right time
- Who want to analyse how their competitors are doing
- Who need to monitor their brand online, and engage with their audience on social media
Investing in a CRM is a huge decision. Don't take it lightly. Weigh the pros and cons, and test the free version. Run a beta test in one area (like email or blogging), before taking the plunge.
And above all else, don't go it alone. The best way to figure out if Hubspot is the right CRM tool for you is to talk to someone who uses it.
What's been your experience using Hubspot? Or another CRM?

How I can prevent two spaces are filled with the same name on the form?Asked by GDISuperKids on July 08, 2016 at 12:56 PM
I have a registration form that I made but I will not allow the name of the mother or father is the same as the guardian of the child. Is there any way to prevent two fields are filled with the same name? Thank you very much for the answers.
JotForm Support
Yes, there is, with the help of conditions.
Here's a working form that I have created as example: https://form.jotform.com/61895141777972
I have checked your form and notice that you are using the Full Name field for Father's Name, Mother's name, and Guardian Names on your form.
Since there is no way we can compare the value of it through conditions.
We need to pass it to a regular textbox field first and we are going to do this for all of the Full Name fields. On the image below notice that I have hidden the additional textbox fields so it will not show on the form.
Once you've done that, create the conditions that will pass the value of Full Name fields to its corresponding textbox counterpart.
Here's how it works suppose the textbox fields are not hidden.
Next, create the custom warning message that will be shown if the father and/or mother's name match or is the same as any of the guardian names.
Then finally, create a condition that will show the warning message and hide the submit button if any of the guardian names match either the father's name or mother's name.
That's it! You can apply the same to your form. I would suggest you clone the form I have used in my example so you can explore it. And, if you have questions with any of the instructions given above, please feel free to get back to us so we can further help you.
Thank you.

Gus Samuelson Plans to Get Spiritual with New Project Sinner Man
"Big Gus" Samuelson and Sinner Man debuted last month at the Allgood Cafe
Artist Facebook
For years now, "Big Gus" Samuelson has been as busy a musician as can be found in North Texas. Whether he's playing with his longtime band Swampadelic or flying solo, Samuelson, who also works as a DJ on KHYI 95.3 FM (we even gave him an award for it!), currently has at least three residencies in progress: On Monday night, Swampadelic play at The Free Man in Deep Ellum, which is a fine fit for their Cajun-inflected country rock. On certain Wednesday nights, Hard Rock Cafe in downtown is where the group can be heard. Thursday nights are when Samuelson flies solo and gets to mix it up a bit at Espiritu, a cozy wine bar in Frisco, where he usually has a fellow songwriter join him for some singin' and sippin'.
But keeping busy with a busy band isn't enough for the native of Louisiana who once served as Merle Haggard's tour manager in the early 1980's.

Last year, Samuelson released American Soul, a rich, rustic solo album that couldn't ooze more soul if it tried. And as of a couple of weeks ago, a new project has been added to his bag of musical tricks. Sinner Man, a trio led by Samuelson, also features Bobby Chitwood on bass and Thad Moore on drums.
The trio debuted at the All Good Café on January 9, and a record, tentatively titled Big Snake (he jokes that he might add "Or Love Songs for Serpent Healers" to the working title), has already been written, with demos for a few songs also having been completed (including one you can hear below for "Dear God," featuring only Samuelson singing and playing electric guitar).

The name of the new project and the album certainly allude to spirituality, which Samuelson addressed to a point on American Soul. But for this project, spiritual themes are purposefully going to be in the thick of what Sinner Man does. The band's name, for example, is taken from the Del McCoury song, "Get Down on Your Knees and Pray."
"The album will be 12 songs that are deeply personal," Samuelson explains. "Each song is inspired by true Southern roots music. Even though this isn't a bluegrass or Delta blues set of songs, it was inspired by artists like Del McCoury and Fred McDowell. All of these songs will have a recurring faith-based theme."
As busy as he is, Samuelson admits that Sinner Man is indeed a side project, but insists that it's a "serious side project," as Swampadelic isn't halting its always hectic schedule. In fact, the song he shares with us, "Dear God," at least at this point, is a beautifully sparse number where Samuelson's low vocal really hits the right note as he really feels like a man desperate for help from a higher power -- something another person can't offer.
For now, Samuelson will keep things pretty nice and tidy. Swampadelic shows will feature Swampadelic songs only; no Sinner Man material. But his Thursday night gigs in Frisco will now feature a great deal of Sinner Man material mixed in with his solo material. To add intrigue as to what to expect from Sinner Man sonically, Samuelson offers up a few hints that only serve to create more intrigue.
"No solos, no love songs," he teases. "But the ballads are where this band actually rocks."

If there is one thing about us Irish it is that we love to embrace the clichés. How many of us have tried speaking a bit of as gaeilge while bitching about our hostel roommate when travelling? The fear of the immersion being left on is now ten times as threatening what with Phil Hogan getting away with the water charges. And don't get us started on the Irish Mammy…
Irish Life, the insurance company, decided to embrace our Irishness with a survey into the habits of the island's citizenry to mark 75 years in business. The results are gas.
'94% of Irish people have thanked the bus driver' – Eh, the other 6% need to pull up their socks because that's just good manners.
'Over one in ten (13%) Irish people have an embarrassing middle name' – The real terrible legacy of Catholicism is the name Stanislaus.
'Over half (54%) make tea if there's a crisis' – Any figures on how often a sympathetic cup of tea is accompanied by our mothers telling us, "What's for you won't pass you?"
'More than one in five Irish people (21%) have packed sausages in their luggage when going on holidays' – One of the Image.ie staffers went to college with a guy who packed his dirty dishes in a suitcase and brought them home to Mayo to his mother. Which is worse?
'Over half (54%) of Irish parents think their kids are smarter than the average child' – Get talking to a St. Pat's graduate about the stuff they have to listen to during parent-teaching meetings…
73% of Irish people have asked a taxi driver 'is it busy tonight' – Flashbacks to Saturday night.
29% of Irish people have been to Copper Face Jacks (AKA Coppers) in Dublin – No comment.
The campaign We Know Irish life – We are Irish Life will run across TV, radio, print, outdoor and online advertising in the next few weeks and features 75 humorous and insightful facts. See irishlife.ie for more.

Federer storms back in 2009
Roger Federer returned to the summit after being temporarily written off as a major competitive force as men's tennis made a U-turn at the top in 2009.
London: Roger Federer returned to the summit after being temporarily written off as a major competitive force as men's tennis made a U-turn at the top in 2009.
The Swiss, now the all-time record-holder on 15 Grand Slam singles titles thanks to his sixth in seven years at his beloved Wimbledon in July, added that repeat honour to his career-first French Open trophy.
That success on clay completed the matched-set of Federer trophies for the man often called the best to ever wield a racket. Doubters had called it the end of an era in 2008 when he won just one Grand Slam event (New York) after dealing with glandular fever and a back injury.
In addition to lifting the two Majors during his torrid mid-season run, the 28-year-old kept busy off the court, marrying longtime girlfriend Mirka Vavrinec in April just before starting the clay season in Monte Carlo.
Three months later, the proud couple became the parents of twin girls, with infants Charlene and Myla already pegged as junior tennis royalty.
The new family made its first road trip together less than a month after the babies were born, travelling with a nanny and using private jets for the American events leading into the US Open.
In New York, Federer's master plan went slightly off the rails as he lost the final in a fifth set to emerging Argentine Juan Del Potro, who also scored his second straight win over the number one into the final weekend of play at the season wrap-up ATP World Tour Finals in London in November.
But at the end of a career comeback campaign which made him the only man besides Ivan Lendl to re-claim the year-end top ranking after losing it, the Swiss was satisfied.
"I think our sport is tough. We play all year long, from January to November, we travel around the world.
"It's very physical, very taxing. And with the knock-out system we have in tennis, it's very hard to always keep on winning - on a bad day, you're out of the tournament. It's just not an easy thing to do."
Rival Rafael Nadal felt that pain in the first person, with the one-time King of Clay losing his first-ever match after four titles at Roland Garros as Swede Robin Soderling put him out in the fourth round.
Nadal's troubles could be blamed on his knee tendinitis, which forced also him to miss his Wimbledon title defence a month later.
The Spaniard had to get used to inactivity as he sat out the summer, returning to make only modest impressions for the rest of the season. His usual fire was missing as he crashed from the London year-ender, but he still turned to 2010 with with renewed optimism.
"My level right now I think is not (enough) to be number one," Nadal admitted. "My level is to be still fighting and practising hard to be ready as soon as possible to compete another time with equal conditions with everybody.
"Going on the court, with the full confidence in myself against everybody, that's what I'm working (on). The second half of 2009 was difficult for me, and probably I lost little bit of the necessary out of confidence and necessary calm.
"I'm not far away from my best level. This year is going to be extremely hard to finish really well. But I'm gonna work very hard to start next year very good. I believe in myself, that I can come back playing really well next year," said the number two whose last title came in May at Rome.
Serb Novak Djokovic made a superb last-season run, winning three events in six weeks and pressing on Nadal's number two spot. Left on fourth was Scot Andy Murray as the hope of a nation changed on clothing sponsors for the New Year and continued the quest for his first Grand Slam title.
Swede Soderling cracked the Top 10 for the first time thanks to his Paris breakthrough over Nadal while Del Potro established himself as a Top five contender.
While men laboured into late November - December for Davis Cup winners Spain and defeated finalists the Czech Republic - women ended their campaign nearly a month earlier as the WTA came good on its promise of a longer off-season.
Clijsters returned in spectacular style to win the US Open after a retirement scenario from 2007 was reversed with the mother of one dipping her toes selectively back into the tennis mix.
Also due for a 2010 comeback is former number one and fellow Belgian Justine Henin, whose withdrawal from the game barely lasted 18 months before she felt the need to return to competition.
With number two Russian Dinara still searching for confidence after losing her nerve in the year-end rankings duel with Williams, youngsters like number five Caroline Wozniacki were threatening the established order.
Notable retirements included irrepressible Russian Marat Safin, who simply grew tired of tennis life and Frenchman Fabrice Santoro, who delighted fans for nearly two decades with his unorthodox two-fisted style.

Canucks blank Avs; Daniel Sedin nets hat trickDec 7, 2011 - 6:45 AM
Jannik Hansen added a pair of goals, Alexander Edler finished with a goal and an assist and Henrik Sedin added three helpers for the defending Western Conference champs, who have won seven of their last eight contests.
Roberto Luongo started and stopped 13 shots before exiting in the second period after taking a slap shot from Avs forward Matt Duchene in the throat area. Cory Schneider entered the game in relief and stopped 20 shots to preserve the shutout.
"He [Luongo] was great in the first period," Schneider said. "He was rock solid in there. He kept us in the game and let us hang around. It was scary to see him go down, because some times they [shots] rise on you and catch you in a bad spot, but luckily he was ok and we were able to close it out."
Semyon Varlamov was shelled, yielding all six goals on 21 shots for before giving way to Jean-Sebastien Giguere in the third period. Colorado had its three-game winning streak halted.
Vancouver opened the scoring at 3:19 of the first period when Alex Burrows fired a shot from the slot that went wide, but Daniel Sedin was there to collect the puck off the back boards and stuff it home on the wrap-around to give his team a 1-0 lead.
The Canucks extended their lead to 2-0 at 6:53 of the second stanza when Hansen faked a shot from the point, weaved around a defender and moved to the high slot before dishing it off to Kevin Bieksa at the right circle. After the pass, Hansen went to the net and got it back from Bieksa before chipping it home from in front.
Vancouver then put the game away with four goals in the final period of play.
Skating 4-on-4, the first goal of the period came at the 5:15 mark when Daniel Sedin got a nifty backhand pass from Henrik Sedin on the right wing, weaved his way to the slot and fired it past a stickless Varlamov for a 3-0 advantage.
Hansen's second goal of the game came just 34 seconds later when Edler accepted a pass at the left point, drifted down the boards and found a cutting Hansen, who wristed it past the Russian goalie for a 4-0 lead.
Sedin's hat-trick goal came at 7:08 of the final period when he got a pass from Burrows on the left wing and popped it home from in front. Edler capped the scoring at 9:40 with a power-play tally, firing it home from the slot off the rush.
"We weren't able to capitalize on our chances early in the game," Avalanche head coach Joe Sacco said. "We let them hang around and we didn't capitalize on a 5-on-3 and when you let good teams like this hang around like that, they'll make some plays."
Game Notes
Tuesday's game marked the beginning of a three-game trek through Western Canada for Colorado. The Avalanche will stop in Calgary to face the Flames on Thursday and the Oilers in Edmonton on Friday...Avalanche forward Kevin Porter was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for kneeing Canucks' forward David Booth...Colorado failed to convert on five power play chances, while Vancouver finished 1-for-5 with the man advantage...Following Tuesday's game, the Canucks embark on a five-game road trip, beginning Thursday in Montreal.

By Royal appointment
Guy Smith looks at some Dorset post-boxes
Published in October '06
Familiarity breeds contempt, or so the saying goes. How often do we take people or objects for granted, especially those we can't do without? How often, for instance, do we stop to take a closer look at the humble post-box? Residents of Dorset have more reason than most to do so since our county is home to numerous historic boxes, including the oldest operational post-box in Great Britain. Situated at Barnes Cross, near Holwell, this year it celebrates its 150th birthday! Built by John M. Butt and Company of Gloucester in 1856, the box boasts some highly distinctive features. Octagonal in shape and standing only five feet in height, it has a very narrow, vertical posting aperture with a swinging flap to keep out the rain; since 1857 all boxes have had a horizontal aperture. The manufacturer's name appears on either side of the aperture and also on the base, although subsidence means that this is no longer visible. There is some doubt as to whether Barnes Cross was the box's original site. Wayne Cox, writing in the Letter Box Study Group Newsletter (November 2004), suggests that it may have been one of the last boxes of its type to be erected at nearby Sherborne before being moved to its present position at a later date.
Roadside pillar-boxes first appeared in 1852. Since then there have been hundreds of different varieties bearing the ciphers of six reigning monarchs. It was the writer, Anthony Trollope, a Post Office surveyor, who originally suggested the idea and the first boxes erected in the British Isles were on the Channel Islands. Initially, each Post Office district surveyor ordered boxes for his own area, resulting in a multitude of designs. It was not until 1859 that Cochrane and Co. began making 'First National Standard' pillar-boxes. Cast iron was and remains the preferred material of construction despite recent experimentation with sheet steel and polypropylene.
Roadside pillar-boxes generally served towns, but in 1857 smaller boxes were introduced to villages and rural areas. These took the form of wall-boxes. However, the most common post-box found in rural areas today is the lamp-box (first made by Andrew Handyside of Derby in 1896), usually attached to a post or pedestal but originally designed, as its name suggests, to be fixed to a lamp-post.
Throughout the 20th century, post-boxes continued to evolve and develop. Dual-aperture boxes were introduced during the reign of Edward VII, while special blue airmail boxes were installed in London during George V's reign. The standard aperture size grew from eight inches to ten and in 1968 rectangular boxes made from replaceable steel sheets appeared. A cast iron version followed in 1974 but, like its sheet steel counterpart, was deemed not to have been a success. The cylindrical shape re-appeared in 1980 with the 'K' type pillar boxes, a completely new design.
A number of unusual post boxes are to be found in Dorset. Located in the east of the county are three pillar-boxes cast during the short reign of Edward VIII, one in Highcliffe and two within a mile of each other in Parkstone, Poole. Only 161 such boxes were ever made and about 150 survive nationwide.
Sherborne contains a fine example of a so-called 'anonymous' box. Built by Handyside between 1879 and 1887, these boxes, the first to resemble the iconic style of the 20th century, had no distinguishing features whatsoever. The position of the posting aperture, just below the rim, dates the Sherborne box to between 1879 and 1883, after which boxes were cast with a lower aperture following complaints about letters becoming stuck inside the tops of boxes. It took the Post Office until 1887 to admit there had been a mistake and post-boxes cast from then on bore the royal cipher and the words 'Post Office' on either side of the aperture.
The most famous Victorian pillar-box was named after its designer, J.W. Penfold, and cast between 1866 and 1879. One hundred of the distinctive hexagonal boxes are known still to exist and many remain in use, including one in Dorchester. There were several types of Penfold box, cast in three sizes. The Dorchester box is an example of the fourth and most common type and would have been made after 1872. A replica Penfold box is sited at Poundbury on the outskirts of Dorchester. This box is dark green in colour (replicas may not be painted red) and was cast by Machan Engineering of Stirlingshire in 1988. It is a copy of the second type of Penfold box and has a higher aperture than its larger Dorchester cousin. An original Penfold of this type can be seen at East Cliff, Bournemouth.
Machan of Stirlingshire also cast a pillar-box located beside the post office in Puddletown. Bearing the cipher E II R and the words 'Royal Mail' (which replaced 'Post Office' in the 1900s), it is cylindrical and at first glance not worthy of special attention. However, the eagle-eyed will spot that the makers' name has been cast upside down on the base!
Despite uniformity in pillar-box design, it wasn't until 1895 that letter-boxes at post offices were standardised. The most attractive of the new standardised wall-boxes was the Ludlow (named after its maker, James Ludlow of Birmingham). Ludlow's boxes were intended for sub-post offices and were made of steel with a white enamelled plate bearing the words 'POST OFFICE LETTER BOX' below the royal cipher. Numerous Ludlow boxes can be found in Dorset including one in Charminster which was originally set into the window of a sub-post office but has since, following the conversion of the property into a private residence, been set into the building's wall.
A Ludlow-type box can be found in Sherborne. Made by Eagle Range and Foundry Company of Birmingham, this small cast iron fronted box is a rarity even amongst the twenty-two known to exist since it still has its original enamelled plate. It differs from Ludlow boxes in that its aperture is shielded by a hood.
Not all post-boxes have been as fortunate as that at Barnes Cross. An 'out of service' George V Ludlow box at a former sub-post office in East Lulworth can still be seen opposite its modern pedestal replacement, while at Wareham station a Victorian wall-box, now a sad, faded pink, has been blocked up. In Cerne Abbas another Victorian wall-box has lost its door although, at the time of writing, a mail bag still remains inside!
With the pace of change in modern society, we are perhaps fortunate to have so many historic post-boxes still in use in Dorset. English Heritage certainly thinks so and is working with the Royal Mail to provide more with 'listed' status. The box at Barnes Cross appears to be in good hands. It is cherished by the local community and was recently re-painted by the local Women's Institute! Rest assured that it will be around for a good few years yet.

2-David Akers: He made a 23-yard field goal and handled the punting chores after Andy Lee was knocked from the game. He had a 44-yard punt on his first try. His second attempt was deflected, as the 49ers had just 10 players on the field and the ball traveled just 13 yards. (Follow on Twitter @DavidAkers2)
4-Andy Lee: His evening got off to a rough start after he mishandled a low snap on a field-goal attempt. Lee tried to throw a pass up for grabs (it was intercepted) and Stevie Brown planted Lee on his right hip. Lee likely sustained a hip pointer and he was unable to handle the punting chores for the rest of the game. . . . He still managed to hold on kicks. . . . The 49ers will likely look for a street free agent to fill in until Lee is healthy again.
9-Fabrizio Scaccia: He had four kickoffs but managed just one touchback. . . One of his kickoffs sailed 3 yards deep into the end zone, but Denarius Moore returned it out to the 45.
86-Brian Jennings: His snap on the first field-goal attempt was not perfect, but Lee typically handles it with no problem. (Follow on Twitter @Jennings141)-Rookies

Any one have a recipe for chocolate frosting to die for? Thanks.
Thanks Serious-Cakes! Your recipe is great. Thanks for sharing.
My clients go nuts for the Fluffy Chocolate Frosting in the Cake Doctor Book!
Hi Serious Cakes,
you recipe sounds yummy. I havn't really used Buttercream much. Is the crusting type you make suitable for attaching chocolate cigarillos to the sides of a cake? How brown is the mix - is there a way i can make it darker brown if necessary?
If you're going to attach the cigarillo's do it right after you frost the cake, that way it's still kind of sticky and they'll stay in place. Here's how dark it is:
If you wanted to go darker you could use 1 1/2 c. of cocoa powder instead of the melted chocolate but you'll need more cream at the end. The cocoa will be this dark:
This one is amazing:
Thanks everyone these look amazing.
Have never made ganache and sounds a bit tricky so will go with Serious Cakes recipe and see how it turns out
Hi Serious Cakes.
I'm new at this so please bear with me. Your chocolate bc recipes looks wonderful. Is this a crusting icing? If not, is it hard to get smooth before decorations?
Yep, it does crust, after about 7-10 minutes, not hard to smooth at all

The White House stated on Thursday that President Barack Obama would reject every Republican effort to defund Planned Parenthood, the health organization that performs abortions.
The reproductive health organization has been under Republican fire for a long time, but gained a lot of media coverage in the previous weeks with the emergence of videos of alleged selling of aborted fetal tissue and body parts.
The video that got immense exposure on the Internet was produced by the Center for Medial Progress, an organization of journalists that monitor medical ethics. It received a lot of attention and reactions from Republican Presidential candidates. According to Reuters, Rick Perry said that the video was a reminder of "the organization's penchant for profiting off the tragedy of a destroyed human life."
The video shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America's senior director of medical services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola discussing the sale of body part to a biological company.
According to Reuters, Planned Parenthood reacted immediately and stated "Patients sometimes want to donate tissue to scientific research that can help lead to medical breakthroughs, such as treatments and cures for serious diseases. At several of our health centers, we help patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research, and we do this just like every other high-quality health care provider does – with full, appropriate consent from patients and under the highest ethical and legal standards. There is no financial benefit for tissue donation for either the patient or for Planned parenthood."
Despite claims of Planned Parenthood that they do not receive profits for fetal tissue donation, Republican legislators are seeking an investigation and elimination of its Federal funding, with an amendment by Republican Presidential hopeful Rand Paul aimed to cut $500 million in taxpayer funding and a bill by Republican Diane Black to place a moratorium on the organization's federal funding while it is being investigated.
After the release of three videos, U.S. Senators are discussing measures for defunding the organization and according to Reuters, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel said they are having meetings to "see if we can have a meeting of the minds on the best way to craft a measure to deal with the horrendous videos that we've all been viewing."
On the other hand, senior Democrats have been defending Planned Parenthood and according to Reuters House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said that "Republicans are creating a controversy that doesn't exist. They've been out to get Planned Parenthood for as long as I can remember. But women's health is what's at stake, and Planned Parenthood is a very important part of prompting women's health in our country."
According to Reuters, Democrat Presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has stated that these Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood are "regrettable" and that their effort is an attempt to limit healthcare options for women.
Planned Parenthood says that the videos are the most recent attack on their work and this campaign has been going for a very long time. And have repeated that there are no financial benefits and no law breaking. The only costs received are to cover expenses associated with fetal tissue donation. According to Reuters, the organization also stated that it has been under cyber attacks these days, which only shows how far opponents of women's rights will go.
Abortions comprise only 3 percent of the services that Planned Parenthood provides, among family planning and pregnancy prevention.

Banyan in Lomteuheakal
Main characteristics
|462 (list of all attractions)
|Australia and Oceania, Vanuatu, Tafea, central part of Tanna island, at the marketplace in Lomteuheakal village
|Alternate names:
|Lomteuhekel banyan
|Chinese banyan (Ficus microcarpa L.f.)
|˜ 26 m
|more than 8 m
In Lomteuheakal village is located a giant and beautiful banyan tree which has one of the thickest trunks in the world. Circumference of this tree micht reach or exceed 26 meters.
Fig trees
Fig trees (Ficus) have more than 850 species and are very diverse - smaller plants, shrubs and also trees, which grow in tropics all around the world. Several kinds of fig trees belong to largest trees in the world, such as the Millenium Tree in Maria Aurora (Philippines) which has a trunk circumference of some 32 - 45 m.
Chinese banyans
One of most common fig trees is Chinese banyan (Ficus macrocarpa L.f.) which grows in South-Eastern Asia, China, Australia and many islands in Oceania.
Chinese banyan for most part grows as banyan - with many trunks scattered over large area. Nevertheless it happens that Chinese banyan has its own central trunk and such trees can be extremely large.
Banyans of Tanna
Some of the largest Chinese banyans (locally called nepuk) grow on Tanna - gorgeous island in Vanuatu. Sometimes there is mentioned that these trees belong to Ficus prolixa species.
This island has preserved its own traditional way of life, which elsewhere in Oceania is remembered just in the books and tales from the 19th century. Here still are revered ancient rites, locals believe that spirits of deceased still travel their mysterious ways, and, of course, the giant banyan trees still serve as the centres of traditional villages.
In the central part of Tanna have been preserved more traditional villages where local people live as if there is no modern age - so called kastom villages.
Banyans here sustain many kinds of life - many types of insects are associated with them, in the trees live numerous birds and here grow many kinds of other plants, lichens, fungi. But according to local beliefs there are also other kinds of beings - there are tales about diverse spirits living in the trees.
Some of Tanna banyans belong to the largest trees in the world. Thus, locals believe that Kaluas banyan some 6 km to the south from Lomteuheakal is the largest tree in the world. Kaluas is an amazing banyan with many trunks and it is even hard to understand where is the main trunk. Circumference of this aggregation of trunks is 170 m.
Some giant banyan trees are used for ritual purposes, with small houses built in them, e.g. in Yakel village boys after the circumcision live in a house built on the top of a giant banyan tree. At the foot of this giant people gather in evenings, drink kava and dance. Such place is called nakamal or yimwayim.
Lomteuheakal banyan
Lomteuheakal is not exactly the most traditional village as it is located at a road which crosses the island and is popular tourist route. But this place most certainly has traditional flavour. The centrepiece of this village is giant banyan at the road. Next to the banyan is marketplace (former nakamal?) where locals are trading fruits and vegetables. Tree seems to be a popular gathering place.
Banyan in Lomteuheakal has a single central trunk which looks very impressive. Wondermondo has not found information about the circumference of this tree but there are multiple images with people standing next to the tree. Thus it is easy to compare the height of people with the diameter of the tree: diameter of tree is at least 8 m but most likely a bit more. Thus we can assume that its circumference is 26 m or more.
These are very approximate assumptions - but this is sufficient information to conclude that banyan in Lomteuheakal has one of the thickest tree trunks in the world.

See Banyan in Lomteuheakal on the map of Vanuatu!
Banyan in Lomteuheakal is included in the following list:
10 stoutest trees of the world
- Joël Bonnemaison. The Tree and the Canoe: History and Ethnogeography of Tanna. 1994.
Landmarks of Vanuatu
Vanuatu is beautiful and impressive country. People of Vanuatu should be praised for the preservation of the natural landscape and their traditions thus showing that there is a noble alternative to Western civilization. Highlights of this island country are:
- Volcanoes and associated landmarks. Vanuatu contains some of the few nearly permanent lava lakes of the world, here are active submarine volcanoes, unusual lakes in volcanic craters, unique biotopes created by the volcanic acid rain.
- Traditional landscape with unique monuments of living culture. Many people in Vanuatu still follow the traditional way of life. There still are revered burial caves with ancient paintings, according to local beliefs spirits of deceased still travel their mysterious ways, giant banyan trees still serve as the centres of old villages.
Category includes some of the most impressive and interesting separate trees of the the world. Total number of tree species in the world still is a wild guess - may be 10,000 and may be 100,000 but most likely somewhere in between. Every month there are reported new tree species from the whole world, including the Western Europe.

Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a reliable name built into each Saab, and know that only top quality replacement 9-5 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Clutch Master Cylinder to repair your automobile. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Saab vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to fix your automobile. You picked your 9-5 because its sporty handling and European styling agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
As far back as two thousand years ago, the Greeks and Romans were using hydraulic pressure to provide drinking water to cities. Your Saab 9-5 has a manual transmission, and it requires the clutch master cylinder to govern the movement of your clutch disc. Your Saab 9-5 clutch master cylinder has a piston inside of it that compresses hydraulic fluid as the pedal depresses, and then sends it via a hose to the slave cylinder and fork on your clutch. Without a clutch master cylinder, your pedal would likely be connected to a cable that moves the clutch release fork.
Don't let a broken Clutch Master Cylinder spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the best replacement parts. Buying new Saab parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement 9-5 parts on the internet. Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Saab 9-5 Clutch Master Cylinder for your 2011, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 model.

Although Aang feared that Katara, Sokka and Appa had been captured, they had actually made it safely to the Northern Water Tribe and were eating dinner with Master Pakku and Chief Arnook.
"Have you heard about the attack?" Arnook asked.
"What attack?" Sokka said.
"The Galactic Empire attacked the Northern Air Temple. The temple was destroyed, and only three people made it out alive. They came to us and told us the Avatar had tried to stop them, but ultimately failed," Pakku said.
"My god," Katara said.
"They also say the Avatar killed the Sith Lord Darth Vader," Arnook said.
"WHAT?! Aang would never kill anyone!" Katara said.
"They say it was an accident," Pakku said.
"Yikes," Sokka said.
"I'm just glad we were able to see you, Master Pakku," Katara said.
"Anything you can do to help us fight back?" Sokka said.
"I suggest having the Fire Nation help you. They have a very strong military," Pakku said.
"Great advice! We're actually friends with the Fire Lord," Sokka said.
Suddenly, two warriors ran into the room.
"Is something wrong?" Chief Arnook asked.
"Chief Arnook! The Galactic Empire is attacking the Northern Water Tribe!" One warrior said.
"The man leading the attack wants to see Chief Hakoda's children!" The other warrior said.
"Fine! That man wants us? He's got us!" Sokka stated boldly.
Sokka and Katara raced through the battlefield.
"The warriors told us the man is at the entrance to the village!" Katara said.
Katara and Sokka stopped dead in their tracks when the saw who it was.
"Impossible...Aang took you down. Way down!" Sokka said.
"At last we meet, children of Hakoda," Darth Vader said.
Katara aimed a wave at Vader, but the Dark Lord jumped over it and ignited his lightsaber.
Sokka drew his sword and charged. Vader charged toward Sokka as well. Vader swung his weapon at Sokka, slicing his legs, but not removing them.
Sokka collapsed to the ground.
"SOKKA!" Katara screamed.
"Now it is just the two of us," Vader said.
Enraged by seeing Vader strike down her brother, Katara created a water whip and attacked. Vader dodged, and swung his lightsaber. Katara created a water shield and blocked the attack. Katara then created ice claws, and threw them at the Dark Lord. The Sith Lord sliced through them all. Katara began to shoot ice discs at Vader. She stopped and looked up.
She saw a figure flying toward Vader.
It was Aang.
