Can I roast them at 425 for 40 min before I leave my house to go to the "appetizer house" and reheat them after I get home?
How long would I reheat them for? Covered? Will they get soggy or be too over cooked?

That said, you could prep the vegetables at home, then roast them on site, just be sure to check with your host about oven availability because roasted vegetables take a long time in the oven and if you're feeding a crowd, then it can take several trays since the vegetables shrink considerably.

Instead, you might want to consider one of the many make-ahead dishes in this collection of Thanksgiving recipes, Favorite Recipes for Thanksgiving's Favorite Vegetables. Nearly all are make-ahead and include very specific make-ahead tips in the recipes.

I am about a third of the way through a fitness program called the Peak Condition Project that lasts for 90 days. One of the big things is lots of veggies. I used to eat a decent amount but small enough that I was happy to just steam or stir-fry a bit. Now that I'm getting over a pound a day of veggies I need to mix things up a bit! My husband is joining me in this...so as you can imagine we are cooking a lot of veggies!

We live in Hong Kong, so are getting familiar with what is grown here. Even though lots of familiar imports are available they are a bit tough on the pocketbook! I have never roasted vegetables before but came across your site when searching for info on that. I'm trying the cauliflower today.

If you have any particular recommendations for recipes that are low salt, low sugar, low oil...basically just veggies and herbs/spices...please point me to them!Elissahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-5578971820833984552012-03-30T17:43:42.379-05:002012-03-30T17:43:42.379-05:00My roommate just roasted some butternut squash las...My roommate just roasted some butternut squash last night and it was quite delicious. Roasted vegetables are just so good, and once the preparation stage is done it is so easy. Plus, they just feel like they have so much more dimension in flavor when they have that soft center and slightly crisp outer layer. It is so easy to just roast some squash, zucchini, and potatoes to go with chicken and have such a rounded, delicious meal. But I'm always a little sad when I remember that roasted broccoli isn't very good since it is one of my favorite vegetables.Katie Mhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-13221798817106950292012-01-27T20:48:14.643-06:002012-01-27T20:48:14.643-06:00Love these tips!

Roast veggies are one of my ...Great master recipe. Roast veggies are one of my favorite things - their flavor becomes concentrated and many become somewhat sweeter. What you say about putting the oil on the vegetables after they're in the baking pan is right-on. It seems like it should be easier, but it's actually more trouble than it's worth (and I have one of those spots on a pan where the oil burned on a proof!). I always use my hands to mix the oil with the vegetables. You can also do it by putting the vegetables in a fairly large bowl, and tossing them (same motion you'd use to flip a pan cake without using a spatula), but you can break up some of the vegetable pieces if you do that. Better to get your hands dirty. Anyway, great post - thanks.Kitchen Riffshttps://email@example.com

As I live only a couple of miles away, I've made several visits to Classic Sichuan in Millbrae, the reincarnation of the old Little Sichuan in SM. They seem to be doing quite well - busier for lunch than dinner, with a clientele I would guess is 80% Asian. They've done a nice job with the old Kwong's space, making it attractive and bright. Service has generally been good, if occasionally slow or brusque. The owner/manager (Anita, I believe, who I remember from LS) often stops by to chat.
Enough of that, on to the food...
Spicy Boiled Beef. For me, one of the true pillars of Szechwan cuisine. Here it's properly intimidating, served in its massive bowl and swimming in red oil. The beef is good quality flank steak, tender and flavorful, interspersed with cabbage and onions. It's not quite as good or as potent as China Village's version, but packs a real whallop. Steamed rice is a definite necessity for me with this dish.
Herbal Chicken Soup. Served in its kawaii little mini-tureen, the broth is incredibly rich and deep. Tiny pieces of bone-in chicken are mixed with potato(?), but the star here is the stock. It's a truly satisfying starter - not at all spicy, but rich and complex.
Xing Jiang Stir-fried Roasted Lamb. One of the best versions I've tried. It's not overpowered by the cumin, which is balanced by ample jalapeno, ma la peppercorns and dried red peppers - not to mention fragrant roasted garlic and sweet onions and red bells. This is gutsy, high-quality Chinese cooking - amply spicy (which this dish sometimes isn't) boldly seasoned and subtle at the same time. The lamb is dry, but it should be in this dish - it's not at all tough and the high-heat cooking intensifies the rich flavor of the meat. This is an exotic dish, a mix of the flavors of China and the middle east, and it's a real sensory experience.
Not so "hot":
I tried a few items off the regular menu, just for informational purposes. While they're competently prepared, clearly the Sichuan menu is the way to go here.
Sichuan Beef Stew. This was one item off the specials menu that disappointed me. The meat was high-quality for the context, but I found the dish underseasoned and a little bland. Again, the China Village version seems to be the way to go here.
On balance, I prefer Classic to Little Sichuan - though perhaps only because it's so much more accessible for me. It's a nicer space, IMO. I should mention that there is no Chinese-only menu here (well, a few items on the main menu) - it's easy to order even for a gringo, though you have to be specific as many items have very similar names. I think they must recognize me now, as they've stopped trying so hard to dissuade me from ordering the boiled beef! If you get a chance, stop by - I don't think there's a comparably good Szechwan place anywhere on the North Peninsula.

The World Wide Web (great description, that) is on info overload just waiting for takers willing to take the time to... READ. Nice to see even electric gaming is taking a second seat to the art of info delivery as the prime source of Web-tertainment. And the ability of electronic tablets and phones to store and then explore everything from literature classics to magazines (like... er... 2020mag.com/ipadapp and 2020mag.com/iphoneapp... shameless plug and beg for a buck) and newspapers makes reading a "virtual" feast of words ready for every new generation of readers.
And so the "hitch" to provide that reading comprehension becomes increasingly more important especially as it relates to the children of the world, forever our most precious blessing. Examples of our ability to come up short on that promise are, of course, equally World Wide and hopelessly rampant but allow me to offer one closer to home.
My son Gram has been a part of the page count here at 20/20 for a few years now. His incredible experience with vision therapy as documented in this magazine last year has been a bounty of success quite nearly sidestepped by pediatricians saying all was well with his sight when, in fact, he had reading issues in particular and sight obstacles in a particular way that clouded his world. Today this kid is a sponge of information. Squeeze him and you can find out everything from the specs of the current Bentley Continental Supersports to the latest developments at Fender Guitars. Granted his reading is all too often selective to his interests but ACTUALLY (a favorite word of his) that's okay by me.
He does all that car and guitar research aided by his trusty Nike eyewear, and just recently his best buddy Finn bit the visual bullet and got fitted with a pair as well. No one calls them "four-eyes" and as they "read" it, all's right with a world open to the perfect vision of offering solutions when it comes to reading effortlessly. In my book (and 20/20 as well) anything short of that is a world gone wrong.

Against the dune, surrounded by a mix of natural, native landscaping and enclaves of manicured lawn, Adagio's design team has nestled a 1700 square foot pool that will seem to stretch for miles as the infinity edge disappears into the clear blue water of the Gulf. The centerpiece of the Adagio community rests upon a landscaped terrace with a whirlpool and a dramatic 8000 square foot terraced pool. This magnificent pool boasts two waterfalls and will cascade down three additional levels to form an oasis at the courtyard. Between the two pools sits Adagio's Amenity Center, which houses a private onsite gym and a large room for meetings and special occasions.
Native vegetation infused with selections of tropical species envelops Adagio in a lush and secluded landscape. Natural grasses, scrub oak, and the soft silver leaves of Blue Lupine will greet visitors, while palms tower above Adagio's buildings and pools.
Adagio's 11-acre private, gated community includes an onsite sales and rental office, a private fitness room, conference room, and Rent Gear shop for all your bike, beach and baby needs.
Welcome to a sanctuary set among European cobblestones with an enhanced atmosphere where the roads and paths are less traveled, and life is a little more simple, pure, and quiet. Welcome to Adagio!
This elegant condo sits on the fourth floor not too high or too low giving an extraordinary view of the sugar white sand beaches and emerald green waters. Providing the perfect haven for you to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise and dolphins playing. A great way to start your day off! As your day comes to an end it becomes a surreal peaceful venue to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening as you catch a beautiful sunset, as you relax and listen to the waves roll upon the beach.
The condo is filled with luxurious features from the entrance of the grand foyer to the high glass back wall leading to the balcony overlooking the Gulf. Marble floors throughout the condo showcase beautiful professional interior design furnishings in every room.
Your family and friends can enjoy swimming, beach games, kite flying, crabbing, boogie boarding, kayaking or playing in the sand making sand castles as well as lifetime memories while just seconds from your door or balcony.
A few steps on Adagio's pure white beach and you will understand why these are rated as some of the finest beaches in the world. What makes our sand so white? It is actually composed of pure quartz crystal, washed down from the Appalachian Mountains over thousands of years.
Pick up a few grains, and you will notice that they are almost clear, not white. Slip off your shoes, and you'll notice that the beach not only looks different, it feels and sounds different. Like the beaches in parts of Hawaii, the sand is so fine and clean that it actually squeaks when you walk.
Our family of 6 stayed the week of July 4th and it truly had everything we could have ever needed! We had never vactioned in the Gulf prior to this and finding this condo and all its ammenities we felt like we hit the vaction jackpot! Beautiful condo, very spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean! Pictures really do not do it justice! Absolutley perfect location, just what we had hoped and more! We wanted to extend our week longer if we could have! It was definitely our home away from home! We can not wait to go back next year! Highly recommend!

Reviewer Comments:
This was such a wonderful relaxing vacation that we are all ready planning our next vacation! The description and photos did not do justice to the actual property. It was much more than we expected. The property was immaculate, as well as the surrounding property. After a long day of shopping, we appreciated the reserved parking spot directly across from the elevator. The view from the balcony was absolutely breathtaking, waking up in the morning watching the dolphins swimming so close, and a romantic way to end the evening with a glass of wine listening to the waves crashing in. The onsite staff was very friendly and helpful before and during our trip. We enjoyed shopping on 30-A and eating at the many unique restaurants. They have a nice grill area that was put to good use. We enjoyed the onsite bicycle and boat rentals. Of course the most fun was crabbing at night which is a very memorable experience for both the young and old. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun relaxing vacation or a romantic getaway.
Our group of ten included small children and parents, a young adult, and grandparents. Plenty of room for all. Spotlessly clean, well furnished , very comfortable. Loved watching dolphins from the deck.
Grand condo, everything you could possibly want for comfort, immaculately kept, top notch location, friendly helpful management. Super nice people at a splendid property. Excellent, one of the best places I have ever stayed. Large unit , well laid out, even w four small children room to spead out. Can't say enough good things. This is a no worries spot. Add the view and it is dynamite.
We loved this condo! Spacious, a great kitchen and spectacular views of the gulf from the unit! Giant balcony was very nice overlooking the gulf and the heated infinity pool. The pool was very nice and enjoyed by all. Comfortable floor plan and furnishings. We look forward to making this an annual visit.
This was a wonderful luxury condo right on the gulf. The views were spectacular. We met several relatives there and had a wonderful time. The condo was spacious and nicely furnished. The gentleman at check-in was extremely nice and helped with getting the wifi codes. Overall, we had an outstanding stay. Very nice master bath and closet and the different pools are a plus.

Yes, I was aware of that --- I should perhaps have said that there's typically a 'motivating' adjunction, often one involving a forgetful functor. Which is generally different from the one into the Kleisli category. I read the rest of your post with great interest too, though I need to work at it a bit before I think I understand all of it. MacLane is off the shelf, and section IV.7 is scheduled to be worked though come the weekend.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), and House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline (R-MN) issued the following statements in recognition of National School Choice Week (January 26-Feb 1):
Speaker Boehner:
When parents are empowered to select the best schools, students have a better shot at an education that will help them succeed and pursue their dreams. The Student Success Act, passed by the House last year, provides these opportunities. This week, as we celebrate school choice and the people who work to advance this idea year-round, I urge the Senate to pass this measure as an important step in strengthening our economy and making life work for more Americans.
Majority Leader Cantor:
As we celebrate National School Choice Week, we come together as parents, teachers, and advocates to improve education. Still too many students are forced to attend schools that don't address their needs, or worse, aren't safe. Meeting with parents and students in my home state of Virginia and across the country, I have seen firsthand the positive impact that school choice has on so many families. At a time when the school choice movement faces threats from proponents of the status quo, fighting for education opportunity is more important than ever. Over six months ago, the House acted and passed the Student Success Act to provide parents with more choice so their children have access to good schools and a quality education. It's past time for the Senate to join us in supporting education choice so all children have the chance to succeed.
Chairman Kline:

Addicted to love
One of Hollywood's coolest kids, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, makes his feature film-directing debut with this month's Don Jon, which screened as part of the Toronto International Film Festival earlier in September.
He also wrote and stars in the comedy as a porn-addicted, church-going gym rat who falls for a hopeless romantic played by Scarlett Johansson and cast his Angels in the Outfield (1994) co-star Tony Danza as his undershirt-wearing, pasta-loving papa. Julianne Moore also shows up as an unlikely force of good in his life and Brie Larson has what amounts to a cameo but boy is it funny.
We spoke with the 32-year-old about the subtle, funny and meaningful messages behind his very personal comedy. (Watch our interview with JGL and ScarJo here.)
You've already directed several short films but Don Jon is your first full-length feature. How was this movie born?
"Well, I wanted to tell a story about how sometimes people treat other people like things, instead of people. In a way, that's a very personal story because sometimes I feel like I get treated like a thing more than like a person. But I don't think it's unique to me and I don't think it's unique to actors, I think everybody experiences this where instead of being treated like a person, we are pigeonholed into expectations that people have of us and they don't let us be a living, changing, present thing."
And you think these expectations come from the media?
"That's one of the ways the story is really personal to me. I grew up working in television and movies, and I've spent a lot of time thinking about how media impacts our perspectives on things. So I thought a story about a relationship between a young man who watches too much pornography and a young woman who watches too many romantic Hollywood movies would be a funny way to, sort of, get at some of these questions."
But you're conscious that as a Hollywood actor you participate in those expectations? That when you're on the cover of GQ you send a message to people?
"Very, very conscious of that and that, I think, is part of why I wanted to make this movie, I care a lot about what the work that I do says and what it means to people…. I think that sometimes there are mixed messages in media and I think there are lots of aspects of Hollywood show business that are unhealthy. Overall I still love movies as a form of art and I feel very good dedicating myself and my life to making movies and media and trying to communicate with people through that work. But it is complicated, because movies are all tied up in something that, like I said, I think is kind of unhealthy."

How so?
"Like the ideas of celebrity and that it's important to be rich and famous, and that that's more important than what you do or who you are. So I think Don Jon is kind of taking some of those things and making fun of them and making a comedy. I think that, oftentimes, the best way to make any kind of statement is through humour, and if you do it right then it doesn''t feel like a statement and it's just entertaining and it's just funny."
It's such a different character than the romantic you played in (500) Days of Summer. With which one do you more closely identify?
"That's a really interesting question. I actually think that Tom from (500) Days of Summer and Jon from Don Jon are more similar than they seem. Certainly on the outside they have very different styles and they look very different, but both of them, at the start of the movie, are very selfish young men and they both have their fantasy and their expectation of what love is supposed to be, what a woman is supposed to be. And Tom in (500) Days of Summer, he projects all of these expectations onto Summer and he does so very selfishly. It seems romantic because the story is from his point of view and in his point of view it is very romantic. But if you actually pay attention to what he's doing, he's not listening to anything that Summer says.
"And Jon kind of does the same thing, he's selfish and he and Barbara, the Scarlett character, are both kind of doing to each other the same thing, they're projecting their own expectations, their own fantasies of what they think a man is supposed to be, or a woman is supposed to be, or sex is supposed to be, or love is supposed to be instead of being present with each other. They're missing each other."
What was it like directing yourself?
"I think that the reason I was able to do both at once is because I also wrote it, and writing it, I spent years and years coming up with the character and writing the character and spending so much time in that character, in his skin. Because writing is very similar to acting for me — writing is basically just me alone in a room acting out the scene and then when I find a way that I like it, I run back to the keyboard and I write it down…. I spent so much time acting like the character; much, much, much more time than any other acting role…. So because I had spent all that time, I think the acting became kind of easy for me so I could focus on the directing."
Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
"Well, there are always more stories to tell…. In 20 years I think everything will be so different, the world will be such a different place. The way that we communicate, the way we tell stories will be so, so different. I think the next 20 years will be a bigger change than the last 100 years or 200 years. And I can't wait; it makes me very excited for what's going to happen."

The Reds have lost top starter Johnny Cueto for at least a few weeks because of a strained muscle in his back, the third significant injury for the defending NL Central champions in the season's opening weeks.
Cueto went on the 15-day disabled list on Monday. The Reds called up right-handed reliever Justin Freeman from Triple-A Louisville, a boost to their often-used bullpen.
The Reds are likely to call up left-hander Tony Cingrani to start in Cueto's spot on Thursday.

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 21 (UPI) -- American Capital Strategies Ltd. has agreed to loan $21 million to bankrupt Berry-Hill Galleries Inc., a New York fine arts gallery.
The loan to Berry-Hill, which specializes in 18th, 19th and early 20th century U.S. paintings, is secured by Berry-Hill's Manhattan real estate and
its art inventory.
"Berry-Hill has been based in Manhattan since the 1930s and has acquired
an outstanding reputation for its expertise in early American paintings, ACS said Monday in a statement. "Its collection includes works by Winslow Homer, Frederic Church, John Singer Sargent and Jackson Pollock."
American Capital has invested approximately $4.7 billion in the last 12 months, $3 billion year to date and $549 million quarter to date.

Rachel Donadio and Anthee Carassava
International Herald Tribune
December 10, 2008
ATHENS: The Greek government on Wednesday defended its response to the crisis that has gripped the country since a teenager was fatally shot in a police confrontation last weekend, saying that officials in Athens had chosen not to crack down on a violent minority in an effort to avoid further bloodshed.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Even as new clashes erupted during a general strike that disrupted transport, schools and other services across Greece, a government spokesman said that he expected the crisis to tail off.
"I think it's going to fade out," said Panos Livadas, general secretary of the Information Ministry. "I think reason will prevail. I also think we will keep on doing our best not to have a future risk of innocent life. No more innocent blood. It's O.K. if we have to wait a day or two."
The statement coincided with an offer by Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis to compensate shopkeepers whose premises have been damaged in the riots that have swept Greece since Saturday, when the police shot and killed Alexandros Grigoropoulos, 15.
Tensions remained high Wednesday in Athens and other big cities. Fighting erupted outside Parliament, where several thousand demonstrators had gathered to mark the general strike, and outside the main courthouse in the capital, where two police officers involved in the shooting that started the riots were testifying behind closed doors. The riot police reacted by firing tear gas as youths threw rocks and gasoline bombs.

Construction at Henry County Health Center moving ahead full throttle
If you have been to Henry County Health Center lately, it is easy to see that HCHC's construction project continues to move forward at full throttle. The new surgery center is taking shape and the focus is on finishing the "megavator" that will move equipment and patients between surgery and the inpatient and obstetric service areas.
This area is not visible to the public, but work on the exterior is visible. Brickwork and windows to the façade adjacent to the pre/post-operative recovery rooms are currently being installed. The anticipated date of completion for the surgery center is mid-September 2013.
Renovations are also impacting the interior of the health center's main level resulting in some visible changes for patients and visitors. Walls and a roof have been built around the courtyard to allow for an expansion and re-design of outpatient and specialty clinics. Once completed, patients and families will have convenient access to the clinic areas from the front lobby registration.
Construction is not the only project running at full speed at HCHC. The Foundation's $2 million Close to Home Campaign continues to gain momentum. With just $355,000 needed to reach their goal, members of the foundation board and steering committee continue to ask the community to support this important initiative.
Recently, three businesses have committed to supporting the project. They are Mt. Pleasant Electric Contractors with a $2,500 gift, Alliant Energy Foundation at the $2,000 level, and the Wiley companies (Jean C. Wiley & Sons, Wiley Interiors and Taft-Wiley) with a $10,000 gift.
According to Ted Wiley of Jean C. Wiley & Sons, "The Wiley companies have always supported community projects that benefit Henry County. The changes being made at HCHC will positively affect area residents, our employees, their families and each of us personally." Members of the Wiley team, Kevin Wiley and Ryan Dexter, concurred with Ted Wiley adding that support of the health center's growth and innovation are in keeping with their companies' longstanding commitment to community success.
Community impact and economic sustainability were also central to Mt. Pleasant Electric Contractors' reason for supporting the HCHC Close to Home Campaign. Co-owner Todd Mabeus explained it this way, "HCHC has been an important and reliable service to Henry County for a long time. In addition to providing access to state-of-the-art technology and providing excellent healthcare, the hospital provides hundreds of jobs, provides revenue to other businesses in the area and for some of us, it has provided help during a time of our greatest needs. HCHC is here to serve everyone and we're happy to support it."
More photos and updates on the construction project and how to become part of the HCHC Foundation Close to Home campaign can be found at www.hchc.org. If you have additional questions about the project, please call HCHC's Foundation at 319-385-6541.

Random International
People walking along Euston Road will encounter an unusually arresting reflection of themselves in a new light installation, Reflex, created by rAndom International. The work inhabits the windows of the Wellcome Trust as though it were a living organism. Reacting to viewers, passers-by and traffic on the Euston Road, Reflex produces mesmerising flows of light, inviting a physical response to the building.
The installation's swarming behaviour is based on an algorithm developed to emulate the collective decision making that we see in large groups of creatures such as birds or ants.
The work is constructed from hundreds of brass rods and thousands of LEDs arranged on small custom chips. Their movement is based on programmes that aim to simulate complex natural phenomenon. Reflex recreates "stigmergy" whereby traces left by random actions stimulate further actions that build on one another, leading to the spontaneous emergence of apparently patterned activity.
James Peto, Senior Curator at Wellcome Collection, the Wellcome Trusts' public venue says: "An estimated 5,000 people walk past the Wellcome Trust's windows every day. rAndom International's Reflex is the seventh in a series of annual design commissions for this prominent site. The window designs have always provoked interesting reactions from passers-by. With Reflex the passers-by can provoke a reaction from the windows."
Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation dedicated to achieving extraordinary improvements in human and animal health. It supports the brightest minds in biomedical research and the medical humanities; its breadth of support including public engagement, education and the application of research to improve health. The Trust is independent of both political and commercial interests. wellcome.ac.uk
rAndom International was founded by Stuart Wood, Flo Ortkrass and Hannes Koch in 2002. The studio was set up to extend the perspective of contemporary artistic practice. Working from the fringes of art, design, science and architecture, rAndom develop projects and installations that re-interpret the 'cold' nature of digital-based work and emphasise the interaction between the animate (audience) and the inanimate (object), bringing the two into a powerful relationship of performance. The studio's work has won many awards in the fields art, architecture and design. rAndom are represented by Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Design & Media' started by patrean, Oct 28, 2005.
I can't find the option anywhere...is it possible.
Just select the text you want to be counted and open the Info Palette.
There you can see how many characters, words, lines and paragraphs the selected text has.
The only problem is that if your text is in unlinked text frames, you'll have to count the words separately in each frame.
This is a real problem
Although you can go through each text box and select the text and then see the word count do do the same for the whole document is an issue.
In Indesign CS2 they have put in a text counting option I believe but if you have an older version mmmmmmm problem.
But I did find a plugin from http://www.dtptools.com/product.asp?id=tcin
Textcount They offer a 14 day trial copy and we had to get a licence in for one of our editors here at work. Works an absolute treat
Hope that helps a bit.
There's also a script that gives you more options (selection, selected story or all stories).
I don't know where I got it from, but it's called "TextCounter", so maybe if you do a search in some scripts sites you'll find it. And it's free!
Word Count should do the trick.

The terms "Wicca," "Witchcraft" and "Neopaganism" all refer to different aspects of the movement we are talking about in this book. Think of them them as a series of concentric circles. At the center is "Wicca," the smallest circle. "Wicca" is the name that Gerald Gardner gave to the religion he and his associates created during the late 1940s and early 1950s. This is sometimes referred to as "Gardnerian" Witchcraft.
"Witchcraft" is the next and larger circle. The category of "Witchcraft" encompasses both "Gardnerian" Witches (or "Wiccans") and people who call themselves "Witches" but are not "Gardnerian" — including some who began as Gardner's followers and then broke away. There is a large number of sub-categories within this second circle, but they are not especially relevant to the culture-change we are discussing, and they are even losing their relevance within the Witchcraft movement itself. Modern Witches freely swap material between traditions and invent new materials with no tradition at all, so distinctions can get blurred very quickly. Margot Adler says, "In the past, most writers broke down the Craft traditions into 'Hereditary,' 'Traditional,' 'Gardnerian,' 'Alexandrian,' 'Dianic,' and sometimes 'Continental.' All these terms now have vague boundaries, and mean less as the years go by." (Adler, 1986, pp. 113-114)
"Neopaganism" is the third and largest circle. This term encompassses not only "Wiccans" and "Witches," but also includes the groups (and individuals) that try to "reconstruct" ancient, pre- and non -Christian religious systems, such as the Norse, Celtic, Greek, Roman and Egyptian religions, as well as the followers of various obscure, forgotten and neglected occult teachings from around the world. In that respect, Neopaganism could be described as "a congress of resurrected religious rejects." But language and the rules of usage are always changing, and this simple picture of Wicca/Witchcraft/Neopaganism has been complicated recently by the slang usage of "Wicca" in teenage culture and in the popular entertainment media. In teenage culture, "Wicca" now routinely refers to almost any form of modern Witchcraft, while blockbuster teen TV shows like Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer often use "Wicca" as a synonym for a kind of superficial, "dabbler's" Witchcraft. In at least some pop-culture usage, therefore, "Wicca" seems to be turning almost into a term of derision.
In the meantime, I have tended to use the most inclusive term applicable for any given statement. When speaking of "Witches" (second circle), if my statement applies also to "Neopagans" (third circle), I incline to use the larger term.
I have capitalized Neopagan, Neopaganism, Witch and Witchcraft whenever they refer to the religion or religious movement, or to a follower thereof. Thus, as a thumbnail guide, I have capitalized Witch and Witchcraft in the same manner (and in the same places) that one would capitalize say, Buddhist and Buddhism, or Christian and Christianity. Neopaganism and Neopagan are almost always capitalized, since those words only refer to the modern religious movement and its followers.
This principle also means that while modern Witches and their religion of Witchcraft are generally capitalized, biblical witchcraft, African tribal witchcraft and European witchcraft — along with their practitioners — are not.

Canada-based ORTHOSHOP Geomatics has purchased a second Leica Geosystems ALS70-CM airborne laser scanner and a third 80-megapixel Leica RCD30 RGBN digital camera.
ORTHOSHOP is a geomatics engineering firm. "We specialize in providing geomatics engineering solutions to discriminating clients with demanding requirements," said George Constantinescu, ORTHOSHOP's CEO. "We started our company with Leica's groundbreaking OR1 orthophoto processing equipment at its core, and in the 34 years since we have been loyal purchasers of Leica Geosystems' products, from analytical stereo plotters and analog cameras to photogrammetric scanners and software systems."
Two years ago the company added digital data acquisition capabilities with the purchase of its first Leica ALS70-CM laser scanner and two Leica RCD30 cameras. The Leica ALS70/RCD30 integrated sensor configuration enables the acquisition of comprehensive datasets in which the LiDAR and photographic data are co-registered. Additionally, the Leica ALS70 and Leica RCD30 sensors permit flying in less than ideal conditions and collecting large volumes of data quickly and accurately, which Constantinescu said is a distinct advantage. "Leica's focus on innovation and product improvement is critically important to us," he said. "Since we use the sensors in demanding real-world conditions, we are able to provide feedback to support Leica's continuing product development. We believe that the mutual respect and free communication that we enjoy between our organizations is the cornerstone of our long-term relationship."

You probably don't give much thought to your backpack. It gets used, it gets abused, and it gets shoved in the bottom of your locker or the corner of your room.
But can your backpack abuse you? The answer is yes. When a backpack isn't used properly, it can cause back problems or even injury.
Backpacks can't be beat for helping you to stay organized. Multiple compartments keep all your supplies and notes close at hand.
Backpacks are a better option than shoulder or messenger bags for carrying books and supplies. That's because the weight of the pack is evenly distributed across your body. The strongest muscles in the body — the back and the abdominal muscles — support the pack.
But backpacks that are overloaded or not used properly can make for some heavy health problems.
Your spine is made of 33 bones called vertebrae. Between the vertebrae are disks that act as natural shock absorbers. When you put a heavy weight on your shoulders in the wrong way, the weight's force can pull you backward. To compensate, you may bend forward at the hips or arch your back. This can cause your spine to compress unnaturally.
People who carry heavy backpacks sometimes lean forward. Over time this can cause the shoulders to become rounded and the upper back to become curved. Because of the heavy weight, there's a chance of developing shoulder, neck, and back pain.
If you wear your backpack over just one shoulder, or carry your books in a messenger bag, you may end up leaning to one side to offset the extra weight. You might develop lower and upper back pain and strain your shoulders and neck. Not using a backpack properly can lead to poor posture.
Is your backpack getting on your nerves? It might be. Tight, narrow straps that dig into your shoulders can pinch nerves and interfere with circulation, and you might develop tingling, numbness, and weakness in your arms and hands.
Carrying a heavy pack increases the risk of falling, particularly on stairs or other places where the backpack puts the wearer off balance.
People who carry large packs often aren't aware of how much space the packs take up and can hit others with their packs when turning around or moving through tight spaces, such as the aisles of the school bus. Students also are injured when they trip over large packs or the packs fall on them.
You may need to put less in your pack or carry it differently if:
If you adjust the weight or the way you carry your pack but still have back pain or numbness or weakness in your arms or legs, talk to your doctor.
Here are a few tips that will help make your backpack work for you, not against you:
Following these tips is the best way to avoid back pain and other problems.

I have to admit that I take a certain perverted pleasure in listening to (and reading) people hurl insults and spittle at Governor Perry. They are so full of self-righteous fury that they can barely contain themselves. Governor Perry was just re-elected by a large majority of Texas voters. Rick Perry is going to be YOUR Governor for, at least, the next four years. The good news is that you do have a choice: California is to the west and to get to Massachusetts just head northeast.
Blog commenter Redfish1
NOT Rick Perry, please. The guy who could look into the camera and seriously say Texas has 'great' schools is a scary dude. I wonder what he will say next year about our strong economy when we have to face up to the huge state deficit? Maybe that Texas has a "great" deficit. Get serious. There are real heroes in our midst. Pick any one of them.
Blog commenter augustus10
I would like to nominate Gov. Rick Perry for his diligent and untiring service in helping lead the way for Texas to be No. 1 in so many fields of endeavor. The ways he has served this State are almost too many to list, so I won't even try!
Shirley Jackson, Arlington
No matter that The Dallas Morning News did not support him for governor, no matter that I had to hold my nose to vote for him, no matter that he's an egotistical and shameless politician who rewards his supporters and shuns his enemies -- there can be no one who exemplifies the bravado, good-looking manliness that Hollywood could easily cast as a film star Texas governor than Rick Perry. He took the governor's mantle on his own terms, and he deserves to be named TOY!
Bob Arnold, Dallas
I didn't vote for him. But really, how could it be anyone other than Gov. Rick Perry? In the long and storied history of Texas politics, no one else has survived in the Governor's Mansion this long.

Captain blamed after Sierra Leone boat tragedy
The captain of a ferry that sank off Sierra Leone leaving more than 200 people feared drowned ignored warnings that it was about to capsize, survivors said on Friday.
A senior police officer, meanwhile, said the main cause of the disaster appeared to be overloading.
Police said only 38 people were known to have survived after the ferry, the Teh Teh, overturned and sank in just a few minutes after a storm suddenly blew up on Tuesday night.
Estimates of the numbers on board ranged from 268 to more than 300. Witnesses and officials said 37 bodies had been brought out or washed ashore.
One survivor, Alfred Smith, speaking from his hospital bed at the Waterloo Clinic near the fishing village of Tombo, said the skipper, Thaim Bundu, who went down with his ship, was "wholly responsible".
He said Bundu "ignored all warnings to reduce cargo and passengers on board the boat and also to take refuge in a nearby creek when the approaching storm was sighted".
Another survivor, trader Bintu Sinneh, said: "The captain was arrogant when we advised him."
"At one point, he passed on the piloting of the boat to his assistant, who claimed to be an expert in navigating the river," she said.
"'Have no fear, I am in charge', he kept on saying and it was then that the storm struck," Bintu added.
The vessel was on its way from Shenge in the south of the country to Tombo, south of Freetown when it sank.
Assistant Inspector General of Police David Sesay told reporters that the main cause was thought to be the overloading of the wooden boat.
"The number of passengers on board was recorded at 261 but this excluded children because normally they don't include children in the list because they are not paying.
"That's where the conflict about the total number of people in the boat is, but I am sure it was more than 300 people on board." Sesay added, "We are optimistic we can still find survivors for these people are good swimmers."
Police were patrolling the sea but discouraging other people from taking part in the search because of high winds and strong currents, he said.
Samuel Bangura, harbour master of Tombo, said on Thursday that "overloading may have been responsible for the disaster as the boat had huge drums of palm oil, bags of rice, kolanuts and other goods on board".
The boat had made several stops on the way to pick up passengers from at least 10 coastal villages when it capsized off Shenge, near the Plantain islands.
Survivors said the boat was carrying many parents and children who were travelling to schools and colleges in Freetown at the start of the academic year.
Relatives of some survivors bitterly criticised what they said were long delays in mounting a rescue after a survivor reached shore on a five-gallon plastic container and raised the alarm.
The survivors were being treated in clinics at Waterloo, Plantain Island and Shenge.
Boat accidents are frequent during the West African country's rainy season, and locals say many vessels used to ferry passengers around the islands lack basic security equipment like life vests.—Sapa-AFP.
