What the dill? A parade of pickles on Orchard St.
By Jefferson Siegel
Its not certain if the Earl of Sandwich ever rose from dining, turned to a server and cried out, My kingdom for a pickle! What is certain is wherever his eponymous delicacy is served these days, a small green plug shares the plate.
Pickles arent just a dining accessory. There are delis that feature bowls of different varieties of the humble cucumber on each table. And for the past several years, this understated gherkin has even had its own festival.
Last Sunday the calendar should have been marked with a green dill as Pickle Day was celebrated on the Lower East Side, an area once home to over 100 businesses involved in the preservation of food. The epicenter of the areas pickled delights is Orchard St., and it took a whole city block to display just some of the varieties available.
If there is one storefront that most local grandparents would recognize, it would be Guss Pickles. The shop, originally opened on Hester St. in 1920, today thrives in a world of processed fast foods. On Pickle Day, barrels were set up in front of the store, tempting passersby and festivalgoers with half-sours, sours and news. A sign in the window asks customers to resist their natural urges, urging them to, Please keep hands out of barrels.
Pat Fairhurst is the third-generation owner of this culinary landmark.
Theyre good. Quality, she said when asked to explain why dozens of people lined up for a half-sour. We make sure they only get the best ingredients. Like all vegetables, the younger they are, the better tasting they are. Theres not so many seeds so they dont bloat as much, she added as another customer handed a worker a dollar bill and got in return a small plastic bag with two of the freshest half-sours this side of a farm.
Pickles are tasty, agreed Dara Lehon, deputy executive director of the Lower East Side Business Improvement District. That was my breakfast this morning. My favorite is the new, she continued as crowds wandered from tent to tent to watch demonstrations of canning, gourmet pickling and, of course, to sample. Not many people know about new pickles. The full sours are what people think of as pickles. Theres also three-quarter sours, theres half-sours, obviously, and now theres also spicy ones that will knock your socks off, Lehon noted.
Why, though, a pickle festival as opposed to say, a milkshake festival?
The Lower East Side was the original pickle district, Lehon explained. Ludlow and Orchard Sts. used to have a lot of picklers and cucumber distributors. At the turn of the last century there were about 100 picklers in the neighborhood. Today there are two; Guss on Orchard St. and The Pickle Guys on Essex St.
Still, a festival for preserved vegetables?
One of the reasons for Pickle Day is to celebrate the multicultural pickling that we have here, Lehon said. We have Asian pickling, we have Haitian pickling, we have the Jewish pickling, we have Korean pickling. And, its not just the green cucumber that foodies preserve these days. Mushrooms, lemons, green beans, kraut and the familiar pickled herring each have their own vinegar pool.
The tent for Wheelhouse Pickles from Brooklyn was a popular stop on the dill tour. Owner John Orren started the business six months ago and now produces eight varieties of pickles using local ingredients from Hudson Valley, New Jersey and Pennsylvania farmers. To distinguish his product from other brine-barreled mass production, he uses vinegars that arent always associated with pickling, like beer and rice wine vinegar, sherry vinegar, a lot of vegetable juices. Our beets are pickled in watercress juice, orange juice, fennel juice, he said, as a line of people waited patiently for a paper plate with pungently colorful samples.
At the other end of the festival, people in a long line anxiously eyed a man filling plastic bags with two free pickles of their choice. Their benefactor, Milton Garlic (Ill show you I.D. if you like) of The Pickle Guys plunged a plastic-gloved hand into a series of barrels over and over to fulfill requests. Two sours, a sour and a half, a half and a new.
I just love pickles, its a good business, he explained, turning to a waiting gourmand. Wadda ya need? Garlic asked, sizing up the man and almost anticipating his request, reaching toward one brimming barrel as the man replied, Two sours!
This pantheon of pickle purveyors also boasted old-timers like Russ & Daughters, as well as recent arrivals like Ricks Picks.
Weve been here since 2004 and were going to be here for a long time, owner Rick Field said. Regardless of what culture they come from, regardless of their socioeconomic background, theres a lot of traditions that cross ethnic and cultural lines that involve pickling, he added. Sounds like a sound rationale for moving the United Nations to the Lower East Side.
Green T-shirts emblazoned with the preserved vegetable of the day were on sale, as well as books, including Wild Fermentation and Pickled: Preserving a World of Tastes and Traditions. The L.E.S. BID had books offering visitors the opportunity jot down their pickle thoughts. And if all the tasting still left you hungry, one table cooked up a unique grilled cheese sandwich for a growing line of famished festivalgoers. Ricks Picks provided the pickled green tomatoes, Saxelby Cheesemongers of Essex St. the dairy and Little Giant of Orchard St. performed the cooking honors.
Besides piles of pickled peppers, the festival was a chance to clarify a medical myth. A pregnant Rebecca Shahar admitted to a fondness for sours and garlic dills even before she started eating for two.
I loved pickles before, so I definitely maintained my pickle craving, she said. Confirmation came from husband Jed.
At 3 a.m., Its chocolate chip cookies, not pickles, he laughed.

IUCN Marine Protected Area Summit in Washington, DC opens today with call for better protection of our seas to counter climate change and other threats to the marine environment
Climate change will hit the poorest of the poor hardest, with many millions of coastal and island populations especially affected by flooding, coastal erosion and shrinking fish stocks, reported the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change last Friday.
Today, the IUCN Marine Protected Area Summit opens in Washington, DC with a clear message for governments and the marine conservation community on how to help coastal communities and the marine environment survive climate change: by increasing the protection of our oceans and coasts.
The Summit, organized by IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas, brings together the world's leading marine experts from 10-12 April.
"Better protecting our oceans is essential for tackling climate change. Our oceans play a fundamental role in shaping and regulating our climate, and yet today, only 1% of our oceans are protected," said Dan Laffoley, Marine Vice Chair of IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas. "Marine protected areas are vital in promoting the recovery of our oceans and in supporting the survival of millions of people living by the sea over the coming century," Laffoley added.
"Governments and the conservation community need to step up marine protection if we are to support the global effort to tackle climate change," said Julia Marton-Lefèvre, Director General of the World Conservation Union (IUCN).
"As Friday's UN Climate Change Report stated, a sea temperature rise of 1-3 °C will be enough for a major decline in coral reefs, unless corals adapt to warmer waters. This acclimatisation will only be possible if they are protected from other stresses such as pollution or overfishing," Marton-Lefèvre added.
Intact coral reefs and mangroves act as natural barriers against storms and floods, and healthy marine ecosystems world-wide will be more resilient to climate change impacts. These impacts include coral bleaching and mortality, displacement of key species and overall decline in ecosystem quality.
20% of coral reefs have already been wrecked and a further 50% are facing immediate or long term danger of collapse. Coral reefs provide livelihoods to 100 million people and provide the basis for industries such as tourism and fishing, worth an annual net benefit of US$ 30 billion.
The situation is so serious that the UN Security Council will meet on 17 April to debate the global security issues that climate change now presents.
The Maldives – an island paradise threatened by climate change
The Maldives have already increased protection of their natural environment: with 80% of its islands lying no more than 1m above sea level, they could become uninhabitable within 100 years, forcing 360,000 citizens to evacuate. To protect its people, the government has been encouraging forestation to prevent beach erosion, and protecting coral reefs, which act as natural barriers against tidal surges.
The IUCN Marine Protected Area Summit will agree measures on how marine reserves can counter climate change and other threats to the marine environment. Questions include how these protected areas can support fisheries; protect vulnerable, scarce and rare species and habitats; how to connect them to ensure species migration; and how to tackle the specific health implications of climate change.
The Summit will also launch a new tool for dramatically increasing our day-to-day understanding of how well our seas are protected. Called the "Wet List", this annual report will help everyone understand the progress being made in marine conservation, and help the global community rise to the challenges of the coming decades. This will be a new global undertaking drawing on the expertise of the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas, the world's largest network of protected area experts, together with the combined commitment of global marine conservation partner organisations.
On the closing day, the Summit will launch a "Global Marine Protected Area Challenge", identifying priorities for action for the marine community and governments around the world.

Lamar's 14-run outburst, including Brad Picha's four RBI performance, in the first inning provided the Cardinals all the runs in they needed to sweep the Northwestern State baseball team with a 18-4 win in seven innings Sunday afternoon in Southland Conference action.
Picha doubled to left field for the Cardinals (30-11, 9-6 SLC), who batted around in the inning twice, and scored Jude Vidrine. He scored after V.J. Bunner hit the first of three LU home runs to left center field.
Eight batters and two Demon (11-30, 2-13 SLC) pitchers later, Picha hit a three-run shot over the right field wall that scored Darian Johnson and Vidrine. Garret Autrey hit the final home run in the inning that scored Seth Dornak.
Every batter in the Lamar lineup had a hit in the first inning, and all but Dornak had at least one RBI.
Sam Bumpers led off the inning with a triple to left center field and scored when Vidrine doubled to left field. After the Picha double Bunner homer, Demon starting pitcher Joey Parrack (0-6) was pulled for Andrew Adams with only one out.
Dornak singled and Autrey walked before Aaron Olivas and Zach Luevanos both singled to round out the first time through the Lamar lineup. Cameron Brewer came in for Adams, and Bumpers doubled to right field to score Olivas.
Vidrine walked and Johnson hit a two-run single that scored Bumpers and Luvanos before Picha's three-run homer. Dornak reached on an error by Matt Baca and advanced to second before Autrey hit his homer.
The Demons put together two, two-run innings when they scored in the first and third innings.
Toby Cornejo, who drew a leadoff walk, scored when Cort Brinson doubled to left center. Todd Wallace hit a sacrifice fly to score Brinson from third base two batters after Nick Purdy singled to center field.
In the third inning, Will Watson reached on a one-out single up the middle, and advanced to second and third base on back-to-back walks to Zack Costa and Nick Purdy. Wallace drew a bases-loaded four-pitch walk. Matt Farmer drove in Costa on single up the middle.
The Cardinals added four more in the fifth inning that started off with an error by Matt Burns that allowed Andrew Dewey to reach base. He scored after Dornak and Autrey both singled. Dornak scored on a Luevanos single up the middle, and Autrey scored after A.J. Funk hit Bumpers with a pitch with the bases loaded.
Six Cardinals, including Picha, had two or more runs batted in. Autrey had three, Bumpers, Vidrine, Johnson, Bunner, and Luevanos all had two.
David Carver started for the Cardinals and was pulled after allowing two runs without and out. Jerin Spikes (1-1) got the win with two innings pitched and one hit.
Brewer pitched 3.2 innings and allowed six runs (four earned) on six hits and four walks. Logan Shaftner came in in the fourth inning and allowed four runs on three hits. Funk was the final pitcher for NSU and worked three innings and gave up only one hit.
Watson was two-of-three with a run scored. Todd Wallace was no hits in two at-bats, but collected two RBI.
Northwestern State will not play a midweek game before face Sam Houston, starting Friday at 6:30 in Brown-Stroud Field.

General Betray Us? Petraeus Affair, Benghazi Scandal and the Election
UPDATE: The Other "Other Woman" hires legal big guns. Although Jill Kelley appears to be the person that sparked the original harrassment investigation which discovered the Petraeus affair with Paula Broadwell, we have to ask why she is lawyering up to this extreme.
This is a rapidly developing story.
This afternoon it was reported that General Petraeus' resignation had been accepted by President Obama after he admitted to an affair and he would not be testifying next week on Benghazi.
Two hours later the reports were that the resignation was delayed by 3 days to come after the election.
Reports followed that Petraeus' biographer Paula Broadwell was his mistress.
Now the reports are that not only was this resignation delayed, but Petraeus was under investigation for the affair and was still sworn in as the Director of the CIA.
How the Bengahzi Scandal weaves into this decision, and how the events on September 11, 2012 were handled in the midst of the investigation and the election is the big question. Director Petraeus' statements 2 weeks ago, prior to the election, claimed that at no time were the operatives on the ground denied support from the CIA – contrary to several other first-handed and leaked reports.
If Benghazigate didn't stink before, now it is a rotting corpse. Even by Washington Scandals, this thing is huge. "General Betray Us" was the chant from the left during the Bush Administration, oh the irony.

Connect to Congress: Bipartisan calls for 'facts first' in Comey memo
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - As the fallout from reports that former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey wrote a memo alleging President Donald Trump asked him to end the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn continues, members of the U.S. House of Representatives' pleas to not rush to judgment before getting the facts was bipartisan.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee invited Comey to testify publicly at a hearing on Wednesday.
Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., told WWMT-TV on the invite, "It's my understanding that the House Government Oversight Committee is having former Director Comey testify next week, likely to be under oath. We want to get tough questions from both sides, want to get the answers and then figure out where do we go from here."
Oregon Democrat Kurt Schrader added to KATU-TV that, so far, all lawmakers have to go on are news reports.
"I, for one, want to see what the information really is. I mean, this is a news report, with all due respect. I want to get all the facts before we jump in the deep end and level accusations," Schrader said.
Republicans echoed Schrader's sentiment on basing judgments on just news reports.
Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Ala., told WPMI-TV, "We're going on, basically, hearsay in an unattributed person in a newspaper article. That's really not the best way to get to the bottom of this. Let's get the actual document before the appropriate congressional committee and let's see what it says."
"What I don't want to do is grasp on every anonymous report or every leaked piece of information, without knowing whether or not it's truthful," Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., told WEAR-TV. "So, we've got to get to the facts first and then we've got to go wherever those facts lead us."
While some may consider the growing controversies surrounding the Trump White House a victory for those who advocated against his election, one Democrat says:
"This is something nobody should celebrate, frankly," Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., told WJAR-TV. "This is the president of the United States potentially engaged – if this statement is true, this story is true – engaged in obstructing an investigation in trying to prevent the FBI from doing its job. This is very serious."
The Justice Department has appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller - who served with Comey when he was deputy attorney general at the Justice Department under former President George W. Bush - as a special counsel for the Trump-Russia probe.

STOCKTON - Tyler Bunz has returned to the Thunder, and Jody O'Neill has found a new home.
STOCKTON - Tyler Bunz has returned to the Thunder, and Jody O'Neill has found a new home.
Bunz, a rookie goaltender and Edmonton Oilers prospect, was reassigned to the Thunder from the Oklahoma City Barons of the American Hockey League and should be on the active roster when the team hosts to the Idaho Steelheads 7:30 p.m. today at Stockton Arena. Thunder coach Matt Thomas did not designate a starting goalie on Thursday.
Thomas said he planned a trade that would send O'Neill, a goalie signed to replace Bunz, to the Las Vegas Wranglers for future considerations.
Bunz was selected by the Oilers in the fifth round (121st pick overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft and has an 11-9-3 record with the Thunder with a 3.45 goals against average. He was called up to Oklahoma City on Jan. 17. He made one rocky appearance with the Barons, allowing five goals in 28 minutes.
But Thomas said Bunz's experience with the AHL franchise was positive.
"It's a situation where they need him up there and it can only help a player like him," Thomas said. "Hopefully it helped him find a rhythm a little bit more because he was searching for it. I think it was a good thing for him."
Bunz, 20, will rejoin Cody Reichard as the Thunder's goaltenders. Reichard started all seven games in Bunz's absence and has shined the past week.
He beat Utah 2-1 on Sunday and San Francisco 4-3 in a shootout on Wednesday. Overall, he is 12-7-5 with a 2.65 GAA, and said a good part of the recent success can be attributed to the efforts of his teammates.
"I can't say enough about how the guys have played in front of me," Reichard said. "They are getting their sticks on the pucks, blocking shots. It's been a great effort."
O'Neill, 24, made one relief appearance for Stockton and stopped all 10 shots and a penalty shot in the Thunder's 5-2 loss to San Francisco on Jan. 20.
"It's a tough market for goaltenders," Thomas said. "Hopefully this is something that can either get him a full-time gig with Las Vegas or at least give him an opportunity to prove to other people that he can play."
Contact reporter Scott Linesburgh at (209) 546-8281 or email@example.com.

Whether you prefer a relaxed and comfortable style or a put-together business look, the eyeglasses you choose should showcase your style. Much like your clothing, eyeglasses are an extension of your personality, so make sure you choose the frames that reflect you correctly. Since eyeglasses frame your face, they can either bring out your features or hide them. When choosing frames, how do you decide between glasses you like and glasses you should wear? (Try out our Frame Wizard to have our Virtual Optician match you with the perfect frames)
Not all glasses are for everyone. Here are 4 easy tips that help determine which glasses work for you:
1. Face Shape
It might seem silly, but you can determine your face shape by drawing it in the mirror. Just look in the mirror, take lipstick, and draw the outer edges of your face. This will help you determine what shape you have, since for most people this is ambiguous!
Circle face shape: you have full cheeks, a soft chin and proportional forehead in length and width. You should try out frames that are the opposite of your face shape: strong and angled frames, especially rectangular.
Square face shape: you have a strong jaw and broad forehead. You should try out frames that are opposite to your face shape: soft and round that sit high, especially a cool circle frame.
Diamond face shape: you have a narrow forehead and jawline with wider cheeks. You should try out oval frames that sweep up, especially a cat eye shape!
Oblong face shape: you have a longer than wide face shape. You should try out wider and oversized glasses.
Heart face shape: you have a broad forehead and cheekbones with a narrow chin. You should try out rimless frames, thin metal or clear plastic frames!
Rectangle face shape: you have a strong and long jaw (rather than wide). You should try out wide and oval frames.
Oval face shape: you have the easiest face shape to find glasses for! You can literally wear any style. Just choose one you like!
2. Coloring
Darker tones: if your eyes, hair, and skin coloring is dark try out a bolder and darker frame.
Medium skin tones: if you have olive or slightly tanned skin you'll look good in any colors. Try out a classic tortoise shell or go wild with something brighter like red, green or purple!
Lighter skin tones: if you have a softer skin tone you don't want anything too harsh. Aim for more delicate frame colors like peach, tinted plastic or half-rims.
3. Style
Classic style: if you prefer classic accessories try out a simple frame that never goes out of style-- a classic wayframe design or circle frame!
Vintage chic: if you prefer a retro or vintage style try out a sleek browline or cateye frame inspired by the 1950s.
Trend setter: if you prefer to showcase the latest funky trends, try out the Xray collection with tons of bright colors and our new arrivals with unique frame shapes!
Soft style: if you prefer soft and relaxed tones, try out rimless, metal or pastel-hued plastic frames for a delicate look.
4. Gray Hair
Celebrate your gray hair with bright colored glasses! Now is your chance to go a little wild with your style (even if you're generally conservative). Try out bright colored frames to contrast with your hair color. If you prefer to keep it simple, choose a crisp black or brown frame for a sophisticated look.
Whichever style you choose make sure you feel happy and confident in your choice! If you're still confused, try out our Frame Wizard to have our virtual optician pair you with the perfect frames.

Why is there so much poverty in the United States? What makes for a stable family? Can you really be an "individual?" Why are U.S. prisons overcrowded? How do people experience aging in America? Why do women continue to earn less income than men for the same kinds of work?
Many of the questions that tantalize us are questions about people in groups. Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior.
Sociologist C. Wright Mills spoke of sociology as "the vivid awareness of the relationship between our private experience and the wider society." This "awareness," which is the result of sociological thinking and research, provides a unique perspective on the world — a perspective that emphasizes the connections between personal experience and the broader social system. [Citation from Mills, C. W. (1959). The Sociological Imagination. London: Oxford University Press]
A sociology major prepares you to understand — as well as engage in — the rapidly changing and increasingly diverse social world in which we live. In doing so, it provides an important foundation to any career that involves working with people or in social settings.
Your course of study in the sociology major will be divided between required courses and electives. Our required courses are designed to cover the foundational material in sociology: an understanding of contemporary society, social theory, stratification of peoples and groups, and the techniques of social science research. Elective courses allow you to focus on key areas of specialization within the discipline and thus tailor your program of study to individual interests and/or career goals. Elective areas include:
- Medical Sociology
- Crime/Criminology
- Human Services/Social Work
- Aging and Gerontology
- Race and Ethnicity
- Families
- Gender
All sociology courses are designed to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, research, writing, communication, and interpersonal skills. Often our elective courses enroll 15 students (or fewer), allowing for high levels of faculty-student contact and collaboration. Finally, students are encouraged to participate in a sociology internship, study abroad, or independent research during their course of study as an important step in career preparation.

Smiles all around as Buckeyes prepare for 2013
Smiles all around as Buckeyes prepare for 2013
Aug. 14, 2013
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Braxton Miller smiles when the prospect of a bowl trip comes up in the conversation.
There was no midwinter journey to a sunnier, warmer spot for the Ohio State quarterback and his teammates a year ago, the result of NCAA sanctions stemming from the tattoo scandal that rocked the program two years ago.
But now the Buckeyes are back in play, both in their conference and in the national picture.
"We've got something to look forward to," Miller said with a grin.
There are a lot of smiles around the Buckeyes' training camp these days. Smiles for the extra incentive of a major bowl trip and a shot at a national championship, not to mention just playing in the Big Ten's title game.
Coming off a 12-0 season in Urban Meyer's first as coach, the Buckeyes have 14 starters back including nine on an explosive offense headed by Miller. The defense has fresh faces, but no one questions the talent level.
Here are five things to look for with the Buckeyes in 2013:
1. CUT THE DISTRACTIONS: Two of the Buckeyes' top players had legal problems this summer. Leading-scorer Carlos Hyde, also the team's No. 2 rusher, has been suspended for the first three games after he was listed as a person of interest in an alleged assault of a woman at a Columbus bar. No charges were brought, but Hyde may be in Meyer's doghouse for a while; he's been suspended for the first three games. Star cornerback Bradley Roby was charged with misdemeanor assault after an incident with a bar bouncer in Bloomington, Ind. His case is still in the court system and he has been dropped to the second team and may face additional legal and team punishment. Meyer is not pleased. "In November we're going to find out. 'How's your season going, coach?' Well, if our leadership is good, and we (know the) direction, I think we'll be all right. You have distractions, we'll be an average team," he said.
2. HOLDING THE LINE: The offensive front returns four of five starters, so that's a huge strength. All four starters on the defensive line are gone, however. Adolphus Washington, Joel Hale, Michael Bennett and Noah Spencer are the new starters. They were all big-time recruits and there is talented depth behind them. "I don't feel like we're going to have a drop-off in play or talent," D-line coach Mike Vrabel said.
3. MR. PLAYMAKER: Meyer said repeatedly a year ago that he didn't have a game-breaking player who could turn a short run or pass into a long touchdown. After an injury-riddled year, Jordan Hall will fill the role Meyer created for Percy Harvin in his time at Florida. There appear to be more candidates this year, with even a freshman — jet-quick Dontre Wilson — in the discussion. "We're a faster team," Meyer said.
4. MILLER'S TALE: The Buckeyes' junior signal-caller had a breakthrough season a year ago, rushing for 1,271 yards and passing for 2,039 more for a combined 28 touchdowns. His improvement was the No. 1 reason why Ohio State was able to bounce back from a 6-7 mark the year before. Miller is on everybody's watch list for the Heisman Trophy. "Last year I felt like I was a D-plus," he said. "It's unbelievable how far I came from last year."
5. URBAN RENEWAL II: The Buckeyes seem positioned for a big season. The nonconference schedule isn't exactly a minefield (Buffalo, San Diego State, California and Florida A&M) and three of the first four Big Ten games are at home (Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State). Yet only two games in October and one in November are at Ohio Stadium. The biggest test, as is almost annually the case, will come in the regular season-ending showdown at rival Michigan. Rod Smith, one of the guys who will get carries while Hyde watches from the sidelines, has a good feeling about what's about to happen: "We were good last year. We went 12-0. But that was last year. This year we have some young guys who can really keep the momentum going. I'm pretty sure we're even going to be 10 times better than last year."
Predicted finish in conference: 1st in Big Ten's Leaders Division.

Website design for the modern age
Back in the day, just having a website was good enough. Today almost every sector is saturated with competition so the stakes have been raised. Website design isn't simply about putting up a page with some nice graphics and hoping for the best. While this is actually how most companies do it, the successful website out there all follow a secret recipe. Actually not that secret, it's very obvious but largely ignored.
So what is the website design secret of the big players?
Their websites are planned properly, designed and built meticulously and filled with appropriate and professionally created content. After that, they are maintained continuously.

Not that you need an F1 team to build a small website, but getting professionals involved in areas which aren't your strong point just make sense.
A great website design is not a set & forget affair as most people would have you believe. If you are committed to have a thriving website it really is an ongoing commitment. A commitment to publish enough relevant and interesting content, a commitment to market the website outside of your pages and a commitment to participate in Social media which now weighs heavily on the all powerful google search results.

Sega Game Gear Sports Trivia
handheld video game
The Game Gear is a fourth generation handheld game console developed by Sega. It was released in 1990 in response to Nintendo's Game Boy, and was the third colored handheld console, after the Atari Lynx and NEC's TurboExpress. The Game Gear was designed to be a handheld version of the Sega Master System, and the similar designs made it extremely easy to port games back and forth between the two systems. The Game Gear did offer some major improvements over the Master System, including an expanded color palette and stereo sound, though very few games made use of the latter. However, the resolution on the Game Gear was much lower. Although Sega released a wide variety of games for the system, in the hopes of attracting a bigger, more diverse audience than its competitors, the Game Gear never overtook the Game Boy in terms of sales. When released in the US, the Game Gear was heavily marketed as superior to the Game Boy because of its color graphics, but this could not compensate for its higher purchase price and low battery lifespan, which was about half that of the Game Boy. Sega discontinued the system in 1997.

Boston Marathon will be 'safest place on planet', race director says
Little advice: leave your knapsack at home
BOSTON — Organizers and law enforcement officials are urging Boston Marathon spectators to leave backpacks and other bags at home. They also say crowds will be limited at the finish line where two bombs exploded a year ago.
Monday's 26.2-mile race is expected to attract 36,000 runners — about 10,000 more than usual for the event — and about 1 million spectators.
Officials said Wednesday that heightened security will include thousands of uniform police and hundreds of plainclothes officers, with about 100 video cameras monitoring the crowds.
Backpacks are not banned outright, but are strongly discouraged and could be searched.
Dave McGillivray, race director for the Boston Athletic Association, says he believes Boston will be the "safest place on the planet" on Monday.

(For Part 3 of this series, click here)
A few years after Ian Fleming wrote 1953's Casino Royale, he got a letter from fellow author and gun expert Geoffrey Boothroyd. The latter admitted to being a huge fan of the novels but couldn't understand why James Bond carried a Beretta 418 when weapons experts widely considered it to be a lady's gun without real stopping power. Fleming had no idea it had such a reputation. So, in a series of letters, he and Boothroyd argued it out and settled on the Walther PPK as the ideal firearm for the secret agent. In 1958's Dr. No, the switch was complete, and the secret agent's long-term trajectory was set.
In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter whether Bond carries a Walther PPK or a shotgun. What matters is that every person put in charge of the films has embraced Fleming's ever-evolving ideal. Consequently, 007 has become a collaboration between the fans, the filmmakers, the writers and Fleming's vision. When we go to the theaters to see Skyfall this weekend, we won't see the same man our parents and grandparents did in 1962. We'll see someone fit for this moment in time who shares our collective desires, fears, hopes and ideals. We'll see a man uniquely similar, uniquely different and every bit as cool as the one who first foiled Dr. No. We'll see a man capable of delivering his best outing yet.
Over the past fifty years, Eon Productions has released twenty-three Bond movies. There has never been a truly horrendous effort, and there has never been an utterly perfect try. A few of the films, however, come within breathing distance of those two extremes. Some early reviews for Skyfall called it the greatest Bond ever made. After seeing it, I decided to go back and watch all twenty-two of the proceeding films to see whether the claim has any merit.
Throughout the rest of the week, I will present my findings in a four part series that ranks all of the Eon Productions Bond films in descending order, along with a few paragraphs of thoughts on each. So, without further ado, here are movies twenty-three through sixteen…
23) 1974's The Man With The Golden Gun
You would think a Bond movie's quality would ultimately be tied to its villain, but in The Man With The Golden Gun, that couldn't be further from the truth. Christopher Lee is convincing as the extra-nippled assassin Francisco Scaramanga, and Herve Villechaize is delightful as his devious butler/ henchmen Nick Nack. They both would have been at home in one of the series' better entries, but thanks to some truly dreadful direction and the single most infuriating female character in the history of cinema, these two sink alongside this disappointing ship. They deserved so much better.
Guy Hamilton proved himself capable of the material when he gave us 1964's Goldfinger, but to put it nicely, his decision making is suspect throughout The Man With The Golden Gun. From wedgie jokes to "comedic" nut kicks to an overly aggressive score, he tries to take a lighter tone but in doing so, undercuts the scariness of Scaramanga. His request of the screenwriters to include redneck Sheriff J.W. Pepper also ruins his best chase sequence and destroys any faint tie to realism the film might have had. And then there's Mary Goodnight.
The Bond canon is filled with a lot of dumb women who need James to save them, but none are as offensive or as annoying as Goodnight. She's supposed to assist him, but she behaves and is treated like a pathetic ragdoll throughout. At one point, James actually makes her sit in a closet while he has sex with another woman. It's stupid, bothersome and unfair. If Hamilton allowed her to even be ten percent smarter, the film would be forty minutes shorter and at least a few spots higher on this list.
It's important to note, however, that if this movie didn't exist, none of us would have been able to mow down our friends with the golden gun in multi-player mode on Goldeneye for N64.

A few years ago I took the SANS GIAC Security Essentials Course on-line. Included in it was an attempt at the GSEC certification itself, something which I finished up. The GSEC certification is SANS' entry level certification, but it isn't an industry entry level certification, if that makes sense. I have found that information provided in the coursework for that certification has proven valuable in my day-to-day job working with servers and server security. This is definitely a course I recommend for anyone who is serious about hands-on security, not a management focus on security, like the CISSP. For those who aren't able to attend a class, there still exists the online option through SANS' OnDemand program. The GSEC coursework is found under SEC 401: SANS Security Essentials.
But what if you're not interested in a hardcore security course but you
did want to become more knowledgeable on the subject? You may want to
take a look at SANS' SEC351 offering, Computer and Network Security Awareness. It, too, is available on-line.
The course is inexpensive and includes a free attempt at the SANS Stay
Sharp Program - Computer and Network Security Awareness certificate
(SSP-CNSA). This is a course you can go through in a few days without
too much trouble and most certainly learn something from. When I took
it as a member of the GIAC Awareness Council, I learned a couple of
things myself. I will advise that the certificate attempt isn't
required. And before you attempt it, review your notes from the course
itself. Not all of the questions in the attempt were easy.
By the way, this course is good for any end user who wants to becomes
more security aware. If you have someone in your family who doesn't
understand phishing attacks, basic social engineering mechanisms, and
the importance of keeping systems up-to-date with antivirus definitions
and security patches, this course helps teach why. It is as applicable
to the home user as the business user, possibly even more so.

Police investigate fatal crash in Concord
December 07. 2012 11:30AM
CONCORD - A local woman died Thursday from injuries she suffered in a four-vehicle crash at Clinton and South Fruit streets.
Ashleigh List, 29, and another person were taken to Concord Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the 4:47 p.m. crash. List later died from her injuries, while the other driver was treated and then released.
Lt. Timothy O'Malley said two young children in List's car were not injured.
He said the initial investigation indicates List's vehicle rear-ended a car, causing a chain reaction involving two other motor vehicles in a line of traffic heading west on Clinton Street.
Accident reconstruction personnel from the Concord Police Department are currently investigating the collision. Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information about it is asked to call police at (603) 225-8600.

While inclement weather and the fading light of day can cause hazards for fall drivers, there's another threat that's often forgotten until it jumps out right in front of them — deer. While fatalities are rare in deer-related crashes, Sgt. Rick Menges of the Ohio Highway Patrol Post at New Philadelphia warns that crashes involving the animals are common in the area, and are likely to go up in November.
While inclement weather and the fading light of day can cause hazards for fall drivers, there's another threat that's often forgotten until it jumps out right in front of them — deer.
Less than two weeks ago, a Middleburg Heights man died after swerving to miss a deer standing on Interstate 77, about 2 miles south of New Philadelphia.
The driver, Arthur F. Fritch, 58, was killed after his vehicle struck a ditch and flipped on its right side on the right side of the roadway.
While fatalities are rare in deer-related crashes, Sgt. Rick Menges of the Ohio Highway Patrol Post at New Philadelphia warns that crashes involving the animals are common in the area, and are likely to go up in November.
Last year, Menges said, the Highway Patrol responded to 377 crashes in which 16 people were injured. There have been 266 crashes in the county so far this year, with one fatality and eight people injured, he said. These numbers don't reflect every deer crash in the county as the various municipalities record their own.
He said he expects the number of accidents to go up as the deer enter the rut, or mating season, this month.
He said deer will be rushing around for mating as well as trying to escape hunters. And when they do so, deer don't pay attention to roadways or drivers.
"The deer are running and just cross the road and jump out in front of them," he said.
Menges said there are ways to avoid collisions.
"The biggest thing is keep your bright lights on when possible," he said. "That gives you more area vision, and if you're familiar with the area, and commonly see deer, slow down."
He said the biggest areas for deer crossings are:
n State Route 39 east of New Philadelphia
n Roswell
n U.S. Route 250 between the New Philadelphia exit and Schoenbrunn
n Interstate 77 between mile markers 86 and 73
Menges said the most common time for deer to come out are around dawn and dusk. Dusk is coming earlier with the end of daylight saving time, and Tuscarawas County is in the top 10 counties for deer crashes in the state. He said slower speeds can help with reaction time, and the best way to avoid an accident is straight-line braking.
Menges acknowledges that avoiding deer sometimes is impossible, and that's where a lot of drivers run into trouble. "It is your instinct to swerve," he said.
However, swerving can cause a driver to run into oncoming traffic or to overcorrect and go off the road, where they can strike a ditch or a tree.
"It's better to hit a deer than somebody head-on," Menges said.
Of course, hitting a deer can cause serious damage to a driver's vehicle. According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' website, most deer weigh up to 300 pounds — which can translate into heavy repairs.
As the owner of McKinnon Insurance in New Philadelphia, Joel McKinnon has had his fair share of calls about accidents.
"We tend to hit more deer than cars in our area," he said. "I don't know how literal that is or how precise that would be, but it happens a lot."
When it does happen, McKinnon said, the collision can cause up to $5,000 in damage.
"You'd be surprised how quickly the number goes up," he said.
He said speed isn't necessarily a factor. "My grandparents — this was years ago — were going 20 mph and drove into a herd of deer, and totaled the car."
McKinnon said local drivers should check the type of insurance coverage they have on their vehicles. He said damage and injuries are covered in comprehensive coverage, but others who have liability only may have to cover the cost out of pocket.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The presidents and chancellors of 15 Atlantic Coast Conference schools say they're not considering any moves to other leagues.
In a statement Thursday, the ACC's council of presidents said "speculation about ACC schools in negotiations or considering alternatives ... are totally false."
It also said the schools are "united in our commitment to a strong and enduring conference."
The statement comes a week after the council voted to add Louisville following Maryland's decision to leave for the Big Ten in 2014.
The statement is signed by each school's president or chancellor, including from Louisville, Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame.
Syracuse and Pitt will join the ACC next year. Notre Dame announced in September that it would join in all league sports except football.

Ley, Evert Jacobs (18th century)
Evert Jacobs Ley was a Mennonite preacher of Emden, East Friesland, Germany, where he delivered a funeral sermon, Lykreden op Wytse de Vries (published Amsterdam, 1727). This shows that he was a preacher, though his name is not found in the Emden list of preachers. In 1730-ca. 1737, he was a preacher at Kampen, Dutch province of Overijssel. Further information was not available.

I feel newborn.
I'm feeling much better thanks to all your kind words.
Way to go Carol!
You and your blog, both flush with rosy color, awaiting the arrival of spring...and soon, thanks to your new physical therapist, there will again be a spring in your step.
YUM. And so pretty, too!
Most of all, I am so pleased to read that you have gotten a diagnosis, and YAY to the magical physical therapist! So good to read what he is doing is helping you feel better! Fantastic!
I hope you are feeling 100% very soon, Carol.
Bonne journée!
Herniated discs!?? That can't be good, but thank goodness it's treatable without anything major. YAY!!!! So Good to hear that, Carol! You must be so relieved.
Your paintings sure look serene and beautiful--these are amazing. Just elegant.
THANKS Daffodil!
It does takes time to get better.
Rome wasn't built in a day...
JENNY- I set these up in my room at hotel La Louisiane (great light)
The 'pink' tea is really Permanent Rose watercolor - no way to boil up the rose petal tea in ma chambre..
.. GREAT POST ... so glad you are better ...ReplyDelete
Pretty In PINK! loveloveloveeeee~~ReplyDelete
I am Tone-Cecilie, living close to Oslo, loving Paris, playing the flute, longing for le printemps, thinking it is too cold here now, beeing happy for you and your paris inspiration, mother of four, loving reading, music and cakes , looking forward to trying a G. Mulet some day, reading your blog now and enjoying it. Get well very soon...ReplyDelete
love your post today with all the pink roses and the rose items. I grow a few roses mainly I am a pink peony person but I do like rose tea and rose jam etc. In the photo today I see the rose tea and it looks like a bunch of tiny rosebuds bunched together. Is it one of those flower teas or is it actually roses that open to make the tea?
I went on Au Nom de la Rose website but they just show the silver bag of tea not a picture of the buds/or loose tea etc.
Did it come from them? I have had the flower teas before but not roses.
so good to see you're in the pink again...but herniated disks -- not so much! Take care!ReplyDelete
Another gorgeous Rose painting in the blue vase. wow.
So happy to hear you are doing much better and help came without surgery. Loving all the pink.
Carol I'm so pleased that you are in good hands and require no surgery. Herniated discs and several as you know are big deal, just impressed with your positive outlook. My oldest brother in a physical therapist, good person to have in the family. Sending you lots more pink wishes for good days with much progress ahead.
xx Deb
Some things are just too beautiful to eat. No wonder poets and artists find them inspiring. For the rest of us mere mortals, they remain divinely delicious! (Love the watercolours by the way!)
Stay cool,Carol. Therese
How goes it?
Hope your on the mend
Stay loose
Sid xx
I heart my Paris Breakfast ISPAHAN & VERRINE watercolors. Thanks again Carol!
I cut all my roses back but when they bloom again, next month, I must send you a photo of my "April In Paris" hybrid tea rose, it is planted next to my Key Lime tree.
Sorry to hear you're having back troubles.

Mother charged in son's death out on bailBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
August 20. 2013 10:30PM
NASHUA — A young mother charged with manslaughter in the beating death of her 2-year-old son is now free on bail.
Unique Gould, who had been at the Valley Street jail in Manchester since her arrest this past spring, was released last week after having her bail reduced.
Gould, 21, of 8 Ash Court, is accused of manslaughter, first- and second-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a child for the April 25 assault at her home. Police allege that she repeatedly hit Devon Gould, 2, causing a catastrophic brain injury.
Devon was placed on life support following the attack and died two weeks later, according to family members.A Hillsborough County Superior Court judge reduced Gould's bail from $100,000 cash to $10,000 cash or surety earlier this month. According to court records, the bail bond was executed on Aug. 12 and posted on Aug. 14.
Superintendent David Dionne of the Hillsborough County Department of Corrections confirmed Tuesday that Gould was released last week.
Judge Jacalyn Colburn granted a motion to amend Gould's bail conditions. According to court records, Gould has been ordered to abide a 7 p.m. curfew and not travel outside of New Hampshire.
In addition, Gould is to have no unsupervised contact with any minors and refrain from using any drugs or alcohol.
Catherine Devine, assistant county attorney, requested that a no contact order be entered to prevent Gould from contacting the child's father, Christopher Parr of Berlin. That motion was granted earlier this month.
Gould will be back in court on Sept. 24 for a dispositional conference. Meanwhile, Karinne Brobst, assistant Hillsborough County Attorney, said that if Gould is convicted of any of the charges against her, the state intends to seek an extended term of imprisonment, according to court documents.
Furthermore, Brobst filed a motion earlier this month indicating the state's intention of seeking class A penalties against Gould, specifically for two charges of endangering the welfare of a child.
Gould's public defense attorney, Anthony Sculimbrene, previously described this as a "very sad case." In a prior statement, Sculimbrene said his client asserts her innocence.
"She is devastated by the child's death. We will litigate every aspect of the case," he said following her arrest.
Police allege that Gould repeatedly hit Devon on the buttocks and head on April 25. After the child went to sleep shortly thereafter, he slept for up to 20 hours before Gould placed him in the shower and shook him in an attempt to wake the toddler, according to prosecutors.
Gould eventually called 911, but only after roommates and family members said they would call themselves if Gould didn't take action, according to prior court testimony.
Following the boy's hospitalization, Gould was interviewed by two detectives, at which time she allegedly acknowledged spanking her son on April 25, according to court documents.
"She admitted that she struck (him) numerous times on his buttocks, and confirmed that she also struck him in the head with her hand. Gould made admissions that she 'blacked out' at one point, and admitted to hitting (him) very hard," says a police affidavit filed by Detective Marc Anderson.
Police have refused to comment on whether Gould may have been impaired at the time of the alleged assault.

Big Brother Canada's Bearded Gay Male Model Strips To Underwear On Show
Big Brother Canada contestants were tasked to create a "buzzworthy" image in the reality show's latest competition. Looks like openly gay male model Kenny Brain may be the early winner, thanks to his decision to pose in (often wet) tighty-whities for the better part of a day.
Why do American BB fans get homophobic racists and Canada gets hot Scruff-ready gay models?
Check out more pics and videos of Kenny and his underwear strategy below.
(h/t: Towleroad)
Fucking dumbasses. This IS a look and it is happening all over. Fuck you and your lack of testosterone forcing you to talk shit instead of growing your own fucking full beard. Tell you what... why don't you all just tuck and go on RuPaul's Drag Race? Us men will be growing our facial hair, and grooming it, and getting regular haircuts, and getting laid.
I like beards, but that one is just disgusting, I'm sure it smells like an underarm pit. It's great if you are spending some time up in the mountains swinging an axe and cutting down trees but ugh... trim it to make it look nice, and do the stick figure "JD", 115 lbs is disgusting, go eat a fucking burger cuz nobody wants to see your bones.
Don't be mad that he has a better modeling body than you. I bet you look like a wind chime and you make sounds when the wind blows...
That beard may be a part of his strategy. He may be waiting for the right moment to shave it off for the biggest impact. It might not happen until after the show is over and he has some notoriety. The reason that I feel that way is because his hair is pretty groomed...and the beard is definitely not. If he meant to keep it, he would have done something with it.

AP Sports Writer
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Usually four new assistants means big problems for a football staff. At South Carolina, it's just Steve Spurrier's latest step at chasing a Southeastern Conference title.
The Gamecocks have new assistants to lead running backs, special teams, linebackers and the secondary. There's a new head of the team's strength and conditioning program. And while Lorenzo Ward's not new to the Gamecocks' staff, he's running the show on defense for the first time.
Spurrier thinks the group has blended well during the offseason and is ready to jump right in. The Gamecocks come off the best season in school history, going 11-2 to set a program record for victories.
Ward takes over for respected coordinator Ellis Johnson, who left in December to become head coach at Southern Mississippi.

Some info i thougt you might want to know about. This one got me and I update my virus defs daily.
Please see initial reports from Sophos;
At the time of writing Sophos has received no reports from users affected by
this trojan. However, we have issued this advisory following enquiries to
our support department from customers.
Troj/Qhosts-1 is a Trojan that changes the Windows primary DNS server
setting so that all infected machines use the same host for the DNS queries.
If the number of infected computers is high, it may effectively launch a
denial of service attack on the DNS server.
Troj/Qhosts-1 also "hijacks" Internet Explorer browser usage so that web
request are redirected to the server chosen by the Trojan writer. The Trojan
is installed and run if a user visits a web page that exploits a
vulnerability in Internet Explorer. A VB script embedded in the web page is
run automatically when the page is viewed using Internet Explorer.
The VB script drops and runs file aolfix.exe to the user's temporary folder.
Aolfix.exe is a Windows batch file that is converted to the Windows binary
executable using the demo version of the Batch file Compiler V5.1 utility.
Aolfix.exe creates a hidden folder bdtmp\tmp, extracts a batch file with a
random name and runs the batch file.
The batch file creates several files in the Windows folder. The file Hosts
is responsible for Internet Explorer "hijack". Troj/Qhosts-1 copies the file
HOSTS into the folder <Windows>\Help and appendes the original HOST file to
The Trojan changes the registry values
HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DataBasePath and
so that the Trojan copy of the HOSTS files is used by the system. There are
few known variants of the Trojan. Depending on the variant the Trojan may
set some other registry values, such as
EnableDNS = 1
NameServer = 184.108.40.206 or 184.108.40.206, 18.104.22.168

Some of the variants drop and run VB script o.vbs into the Windows folder.

Precious metals prices headed lower this morning as the final trading session of the week got underway in New York. Yesterday's "Fedspectations" turned down a notch as market participants had somewhat bigger news "fish" to fry this morning; specifically, the story out of China that there has been a sharper-than-expected slow-down in that country's economy. While many commodity bulls and pundits had expected a surprise to the upside (9%+) in Chinese Q1 GDP, the reality – as relayed by Beijing – was that GDP eked out only an 8.1% gain on the quarter – the weakest quarterly expansion rate in three years' time.
Do also note the fact that with the first trimester's numbers having been filed, the world's second-largest economy has now experienced a fifth consecutive quarter of slowing growth. This week's IMF warning on China and on commodities basically echoed an earlier report by the World Bank "which forecasts a similar [Chinese economic] slowdown, predicting economic growth will gradually slow from an average of 8.6% in 2011-2015 to an average of 5% growth per year in 2026-2030."
Spot gold opened with a loss of $4.30 at the $1,671 mark on the bid-side, while spot silver dealings opened with a 13-cent decline to the $32.25 level. For an explanation of what he interprets as a bearish market tilt for gold, and why, you might wish to view economist Dennis Gartman's interview with Kitco's intrepid reporter, Ms. Daniela Cambone. It is an engrossing clip and it brings up not only chart patterns but certain "official sector" players who did not mind selling some gold into the market at a time when everyone was asserting the opposite.
On the other hand, for quite a sobering view on silver and its trials and tribulations of the past year, do give this Oakshire Financial article a read. Platinum and palladium each shed $5 to start off at the $1,596 and the $646 price points respectively. No changes were reported in rhodium at $1,350 the ounce. The analytical team over at Standard Bank (SA) notes in its daily commodities report that "a platinum price between $1,600 and $1,550 is a level where downside [price risk] is becoming increasingly compressed."
While the team does not discount further downside beyond this [$1,580 support] level, they believe that price declines below the $1,550 level will be short lived as long as the ZAR doesn't depreciate substantially against the USD. The Standard Bank analysts also believe that "the risk of the platinum market tightening up via production stoppages in SA this year remains high." In the background, the US dollar recouped 0.23% of its Thursday losses to climb to the 79.52 mark on the trade-weighted index and crude oil fell 30 cents to be quoted at $103.34 per barrel in NY. Copper players evidently disliked the Chinese GDP number as the orange metal dropped 1.44% this morning.
According to South Africa's Business Day, "it is far too early to express confidence that global recovery is in sight. But it is becoming a possibility for which all but die-hard gold believers should be making a plan" The story quotes GFMS' Paul Walker as cautioning that "we are now starting to see some of the inherent difficulties of maintaining momentum in the gold price, as there are signs of economic recovery and an expectation that at some point interest rates will have to move higher."
Mr. Walker notes that the level of investment demand required to just keep gold prices where they are must be as high as $10-$12 billion per month. In other words, someone had better step up and absorb the surplus manifest in the gold market. He concludes that "we are at an interesting phase in the gold bull rally," Walker says. "If there was some miracle and the economic news flow became very positive then gold would be in difficulty. But I don't think we are there yet. There are still legs in this market, but gold is becoming vulnerable. I've pointed out before that gold's run in the past few years is unsustainable. There's no asset class that only ever sees positive inflows."
