Orchid Cellar
Mead, or honey-based wine, conjures images of Vikings, Renaissance maidens, and Grecian gods. Although mead dates as far back as the ancient Egyptians, it's not just for the history books. And you can see for yourself at Orchid Cellar Winery in Middletown, Maryland, where their winemakers are tapping into this ancient tradition.
Orchid Cellar produces mainly meads, boasting ten varieties, some made with fruit, and others with different blends of spices.
Winemaker Andrzej Wilk Jr. says the meads are their "interpretation of classic European recipes," using "the best honey" and only "fresh, high quality fruits, no extracts, preservatives, or artificial flavoring.
"We've never stopped experimenting with flavors. At any time, we're testing up to 40 other meads." They've also just released their first grape-based wine, a 2010 Merlot.
Tastings, which are run by the winemakers or winery owner, cost $5 for the meads and $1 for the Merlot and come with a complimentary glass. The tasting room is open Saturdays and Sundays from 12 p.m.-5 p.m.
While visiting, you can enjoy the vineyard's scenic view of the Catoctin Mountains from the furnished patio. And don't forget to request a tour of the winery: the experienced winemakers will happily show you the barrel room and explain how they craft their delicious drinks.
Orchid Cellar is located at 8546 Pete Wiles Road in Middletown. For more information, call 301-473-3568, follow them on Facebook or Twitter, or visit their website at www.orchidcellar.com.
Karolina Gajdeczka is an editorial intern at Maryland Life magazine. She also contributes to Orchid Cellar's social media efforts.

Second-ranked Niners now five votes from top
Niners impressed on both sides of ball in Big Easy
Richard Rosenblatt
Associated Press sportswriter
Posted Nov 27, 2012
The Texans and Falcons keep winning, but the 49ers keep moving closer to the top of the AP Pro32 power rankings after another impressive performance. The Niners remain second in this week's poll, but picked up three first-place votes as their performance as an elite team becomes just too difficult for voters to ignore.
The 49ers, 8-2-1 after their 31-21 win at New Orleans with
Colin Kaepernick
at quarterback, had three-first place votes and 365 points from that national panel of 12 media members who regularly cover the league.
The Niners now trail the top-ranked Texans by just five points in the poll.
''49ers have ''hot hand'' BOTH sides of the ball,'' said Chris Berman of ESPN after listing San Francisco first on his ballot.
''Harbaugh makes the move to a second year quarterback with no road experience and they just keep winning,'' added Pat Kirwan of SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com. ''
Aldon Smith
looks unblockable coming off the edge.''
The Falcons, who edged Tampa Bay 24-23, had 354 points – two more then the Patriots, who received the other two first-place votes and 352 points.
The Patriots made a significant move this week thanks to another second-half-of-the-season winning streak.
While Houston remained on top for the third straight week, the Patriots jumped three places to fourth.
''Pats are on fire, scoring a combined 190 points in their last four wins. Defense is getting better, too,'' said Bob Glauber of Newsday. ''Ready for another Super Bowl run?
New England (8-3) routed the New York Jets 49-19 on Thursday night for its fifth straight win.
Tom Brady
and the Patriots closed out the previous two regular seasons by winning their final eight games.
''Why worry about defense when you average 37 points per game?'' said Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune.
The Texans (10-1) won their second overtime game in five days last week, topping Detroit 34-31 on Thursday. Houston received seven first-place votes and 370 points.
''Their defense looks more vulnerable, but
Matt Schaub
is on a roll,'' said Clifton Brown of The Sporting News after listing Houston sixth on his ballot.
''Two straight wins in overtime shows this team knows how to finish,'' countered Rich Gannon of CBS Sports/Sirius XM after voting the Texans first.
Denver was fifth, followed by Baltimore the
New York Giants
, Chicago, Indianapolis and Green Bay, which fell four spots after its 38-10 loss to the Giants.
''When they click, no team is better, as the Packers and 49ers could attest,'' Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune said of the Giants.
As for the surprising Colts (7-4), Clark Judge of CBSSports.com said, ''This is better than a feel-good story. This is a pretty good football team.''
Cincinnati was the biggest gainer – up six spots to 11th after another convincing win, this time 34-10 over Oakland. The Colts moved up five spots after beating Buffalo 20-13 for their highest ranking of the season after starting out 32nd and last.
Philadelphia Eagles
continued their slide, dropping three more spots to 29th after their seventh loss in a row. The Eagles opened the season ranked eighth.
Kansas City (1-10) was a near unanimous choice for 32nd and last.
''A strong showing against
Peyton Manning
and the Broncos gets the Chiefs out of the cellar this week,'' said John Lynch of Fox Sports.
Here's what the panelists had to say about the 49ers this week, including where each ranked the Niners in parentheses:
Chris Berman (ESPN, 1):
49ers have "hot hand" BOTH sides of the ball.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 2):
Defense is dynamite, and Colin Kaepernick adds new dimension.
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 5):
May be awhile before we see
Alex Smith
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 2):
Another strong effort from Colin Kaepernick, and Jim Harbaugh may have no choice but to keep him in the starting lineup over Alex Smith. Not an easy call either way.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 3):
Aldon Smith is on a pace to set the NFL record for sacks with 24. He has 16½ through 11 games. Michael Strahan holds the record with 22½.
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 1):
Jim Harbaugh hasn't made up his mind whom he's playing next – Seattle or St. Louis.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 3):
That change under center looks permanent – for now.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 1):
Harbaugh makes the move to a second year quarterback with no road experience and they just keep winning. Aldon Smith looks unblockable coming off the edge.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 3):
It looks like the job is Colin Kapernick's to keep. Hard to argue as Kapernick and the Niners went into New Orleans against a smoking hot Saints team and handled them with room to spare.
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 3):
Yes, Colin Kaepernick and the defense were outstanding in a 31-21 road win over New Orleans. But let's not forget about an offensive line that didn't allow a sack and paved the way for 144 yards rushing.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 3):
Colin Kaepernick could be the spark that ignites the 49ers in the home stretch.

Michigan citizens could soon have the right to carry a stun gun.
The state senate wants to make it law and the house will soon debate the issue
Here's a look what the legalization of tasers would mean and the benefits and concerns some have.
You've probably seen the video before. A taser delivers an electrical punch and when engaged, the person is practically helpless.
Tasers have been used in law enforcement, and 44 states have allowed people to carry them. Former sheriff's deputy, now state senator, Rick Jones wants Michigan to become the 45th.
"I think it's important we give everybody options to defend themselves," said Senator Jones, (R-MI) 24th District.
The bill has passed through the state senate and would allow holders of concealed pistol licenses to purchase a specific type of taser. The citizen taser would fire a single shot that would stun a person for 30 seconds.
"If you use a taser, or use a gun, it'd be only in defense of your life or against rape," said Sen. Jones.
But for the Michigan chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, they'd like to see the lawmakers take a look at some studies before tasers are legalized.
"Children, pregnant women, the elderly, there have been many questions that have been raised about what effect those devices have on those particular individuals. Serious questions about the safety of tasers and the effects they have on the human body," said Mark Fancher, Staff Attorney for the Michigan Civil Liberties Union.
But many in law enforcement, like Harbor Springs Police Chief Dan Branson, supports citizen tasers.
"I'd like to think it's ok to take a taser or a weapon that is approved by the state that is not designed to take a life but to afford personal protection for the individual," said Branson.
Wisconsin passed a law allowing tasers in November.
Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island do not allow tasers to be carried by citizens.
The Michigan State House has referred the bill to a judiciary committee to review it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michigan could soon join dozens of other states and allow people to carry stun guns.
Senate Bill 30 was introduced on January 19, 2011 by Sen. Rick Jones.
The Michigan Legislature is discussing the measure that could make Michigan the 45th state to allow stun guns. In an article in the Detroit Free Press, Sen.. Jones discussed why it makes sense.
"You could use it when you could use a gun, and you must have all the training that goes into a concealed pistol license," said Sen.. Jones. "I think it's just common sense that someone would rather use electricity than a gun when they can."
The Michigan Senate approved the bill 35-3 in October, which would allow people with concealed weapons permits to also carry stun guns. Now similar legislation is being discussed in the House. House Bill 4009 was referred to a judiciary committee.
Michigan law has banned the use of stun guns since 1976, with exceptions of police and some other security personnel.
Would you carry a stun gun if they were legal? Tell us what you think by taking part in the poll below and leaving your comments.
We're sorry, voting for this poll has ended.

The Affordable Care Act and How it Affects You LEARN MORE
The IRS ruled today that they will recognize marital status for taxpayers in a same-sex marriage based on the state, territory, or country the marriage was entered into.This allows same-sex couples who are legally married in a state, U.S. territory, the District of Columbia, or a foreign country to file as married taxpayers when completing their federal tax returns. Married taxpayers can live in any state, regardless of their specific rulings and file a joint tax. Beginning with the 2013 tax return, all couples legally married as of January 1, 2014 must file as either married filing jointly or married filing separately and are subject to all federal income tax laws governing marriage including, exemptions, credit and deduction limits, and income tax rates.Taxpayers who were legally married prior to 2013 may choose to file an amended return for tax years 2010, 2011 or 2012 based on marital status, but they are not required to. The amended return would include changing from a single filing status to a married filing status, an income reduction based on the requirement to add the employer paid cost of same-sex partner/spouse health insurance to taxable income, and social security and Medicare tax refund request based on the decrease in income for the health insurance provision. While there are many tax positive benefits to being married, there are also some negative tax impacts to being married. For instance, married taxpayers can file as either married filing jointly or married filing separately, but they do not qualify to file as single. In addition, married taxpayers will only qualify for head of household filing status if they have dependent children and do not live with their spouse during the last six months of the year. The ruling does not apply to apply to registered domestic partnerships, civil unions, or other formal relationships that are recognized under state laws. While the ruling allows all federal tax provisions where marriage is a factor to apply, it does not affect the state tax return. State tax return filing status is still determined by the individual state. While this clarification of the recent change to the definition of marriage for federal income tax purposes is a very important step in clearing up the confusion governing filing status for same-sex couples who are legally married, the rules governing married taxpayers, amending a tax return, and what is affected by this recent ruling are very confusing. If you have questions, call your local Jackson Hewitt office about how this ruling will affect your tax filing.
A Lt. Col. and member of the Air Force for more than 23 years. He says that working as a Jackson Hewitt tax preparer appealed to him because of his interest in the complexity of the tax code. Ron's leadership skills and his in-depth experience completing personal tax returns and complicated business-related tax forms for his wife's apparel businesses gave him the perfect foundation for a post-military career in tax preparation. Ron manages a Jackson Hewitt storefront location in Wilmington, N.C. and credits his success as a tax preparer to his military training in problem solving and working with others. Ron also says that being a tax preparer keeps him connected to his community. Beyond his relationships with Jackson Hewitt customers, he plays third base in a neighborhood softball league, serves as an election judge and is the president of his local residence's Homeowners Association.Donald ParmenterAlso based in Wilmington, N.C., Donald Parmenter grew up in a military family. His father had a long career in the Army and Don spent his youth traveling around the world. He attended Yale University on an ROTC scholarship. After graduation, he was commissioned as an officer on a minesweeper in Charleston, S.C., and also served in Guantanamo Bay, Puerto Rico, Spain, France, and other locations throughout the Mediterranean and Caribbean. First drawn to a career in tax preparation by a storefront sign promoting Jackson Hewitt's professional Tax School curriculum, Don attributes his success to his attention to detail, passion for learning and strong ability to communicate – all skills he learned in the Navy. As a tax preparer, Don helps military families prepare their taxes and says he appreciates the opportunity to share stories and connect with them. He highly recommends Jackson Hewitt to other military veterans considering their next career move. This year, Jackson Hewitt has committed to hiring 1,000 veterans and their spouses this tax season across their network of 6,800 nationwide locations. Veterans and members of the military represent a highly skilled group of workers for employers today. Jackson Hewitt remains committed to helping veterans find the right path for their post-military careers. Interested in becoming a tax preparer with Jackson Hewitt?

marvellous stay in this wonderful hotel that has an enviable location, comfortable modern rooms and above all polite, caring and knowledgeable staff - I highly recommend!!
"Fantastic hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 22, 2013
We stayed three nights at the Hotel L'Orologio in February. The hotel is small but immaculate, with large very clean room and bathroom. The staff were all extremely helpful and polite. The clock theme decor is unique and beautiful. The hotel is just five minutes' walk from the main railway station (which is about fifteen minutes on the bus from the airport) and therefore right in the heart of everything. The breakfast buffet was impressive and plentiful. The only possible gripe (and I'm really struggling to find one) is there was a shower not a bath in our room. We loved this hotel and will return.

Highland Park Thermage reviews

"Thermage Update - Glenview, IL"
I have had good experience with Thermage for improved firmness of the skin on my face, and the newer technology at Dr. Bloch's office made the procedure much more comfortable and almost pain-free.

This is Council of Thieves AP. Westcrown, City of Twilight, once was the center of Aroden's faith, but now it symbolizes despair. By day, the city remains a vibrant center of trade; but, by night only those with a death wish venture out.
Janiven will hold her action. She will make an acrobatics check and cross the narrow plank.
Acro: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 and she falls in.
reflex to see if she losses her bow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21. She hung on to her bow.
Andrea, seeing that #4 and #5 seem to be snarled up to melee, and that her attempts at shooting with her crossbow have not done well, grabs her sickle and commands it to lash out at Armiger #6. [ooc] Hand of Acolyte attack on #6[ooc] 4 out of 6 used. 1d20+4;1d6

[ooc] Hand of Acolyte attack on #6[ooc] 4 out of 6 used.
Who is she using this on?
Shinon blinks and almost drops his bow in surprise. "What the...damnit!" He quickly sets his bow down and rushes over to the sewage, trying to fish Janiven out.
Shinon will reach down and grab her hand if she's close enough to the edge. Otherwise he will throw her one end of his rope and then pull. (Obviously the second will take longer than one round, so probably just get to the edge and draw the rope for now).
This is replacing my previously stated attack action for Rd 5.

[ooc] Hand of Acolyte attack on #6[ooc] 4 out of 6 used. 1d20+4;1d6 Who is she using this on?
Armiger #6, the one who retreated and pulled out a potion
There is a loud splash as Armiger #6 falls over half in the trench but his feet up on the ledge.
Without warning Arminger #5, taking off running back in the direction he came from. Leaving only Armiger 4 to face the onslaught.
Armiger #4 swings at Duncan:
Att at dauncan: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 missing widely wiht a loud grunt.
Duncan and John are remaining in this round.
John will attempt to overrun Armiger 4.
Overrun:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Pretty sure he's in Melee with Duncan Shoulda run as well, boy.
2 hand, Destruction Judgement, Destructive Smite, Bless, Divine Favor Attack1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 22 Damage1d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 14
The last one is DEAD.
What are you all doing now? Doing anything with the bodies?
"No point in letting them die." John will pull Arimger 6 out of the trench.
I am unsure that is a wise move considering that they are more than willing to deliver us to their 'interrorgators'. Hopefully it will not come back to haunt us. Andrea casts a detect magic cantrip and scans the bodies. In any event, we cannot tarry here. That last one will be getting reinforcements.
After pulling him out of the trench it is easy to figure out he has gone to meet Asmodeus.
The detect magic comes up with potions on each of the Armigers. There are four bandoleers, each with 2 remaining potions. I believe Kenji took two already and they have faint glow to them.
I move over to help Janiven out of the muck. "Someday I teach you barance and technique. Den you not end up in smerry praces." I brace myself and pull her up.
There are 4 longswords, 2 are of a better craftsmeanship then the other two, and there are 6 light crossbows, two of the crossbows are a better quality. there are a total of 61 bolts. There are 4 chain shirts and helmets (the helmets are hellknight issued.
Gold: 4d12 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2, 12, 3) + 5 = 23 SP: 4d12 + 5 ⇒ (10, 11, 10, 4) + 5 = 40 CP: 4d12 + 5 ⇒ (9, 3, 2, 12) + 5 = 31
I'm not sure if anyone was going ot fetch the Armiger that is under water?
We're gonna need funds to lay low. Me boss at the smithy will be able to resell thier gear. Strip the chain shirts first they're worth the most. Then carry everything we can. Equip yeselfs if ye got poor gear. Then we git outta here. We wanna follow the coward? whever he'sgoin' there'd be an exit but maybe more knights. We can catch up to him quick if we keep the light up. Fool took off wit out a torch. Probably staggering in the muck or crawling slow. Either way he's blind in the dark.
Anyone care to track party loot?
Janiven lets Shinon and Kenji give her a hand. She laughs hearing Kenji speak to her about balance. "Well hopefully this is the beginning of a long path together and I can take you up on your generous offer," She smiles and winks.
She points at the corner edge near the wear Kenji was fighting. Grinning ear to ear now.
"So much for that idea" John says to himself, then to Andrea "Yes, we should leave soon." John then turns his attention back to the dead Armiger thinking to himself Well since he won't be needing these things anymore... John will take the armiger's dagger, Chainshirt. John will also take one of the better quality longsowrds and crossbows, and some bolts.
"Anytime but first we move." I gesture to the uniforms. "kights suits. Sis of us prus boy. Maybe we suit up rike knights an sneak past. Escorting prisoners right? Good idea?"
"As disturbing as the idea of wearing the armor of a Hellknight is to me, I believe Kenji may have a good point here. Though I'm not sure if the armor is appropriately sized for all of us." Shinon said, frowning a bit and walking towards one of the knight's bodies. He began unclasping the warrior's armor and tried it on himself.
Jus grab it. That wimps getting further away. Grab a torch.
The armor will fit most medium sized adventurers, may not be the best, although it won't fit the Duncan. They were all in the 5'4 to 5'9 height range.
Andrea has been tracking party loot on the discussion thread.
Shinon looks up, clearly annoyed at this, but shrugs and drops the armor off his body, standing up and rebuttoning his shirt before pulling his leather back into place. "Alright then. Let's go."
We're gonna need funds to lay low. Me boss at the smithy will be able to resell thier gear. Strip the chain shirts first they're worth the most. Then carry everything we can. Equip yeselfs if ye got poor gear. Then we git outta here. We wanna follow the coward? whever he'sgoin' there'd be an exit but maybe more knights. We can catch up to him quick if we keep the light up. Fool took off wit out a torch. Probably staggering in the muck or crawling slow. Either way he's blind in the dark. Anyone care to track party loot?
I will mark down treasure for now. So 2 MW Longsword and 2 MW Lightcrossbows and 4 chainshirts added to the list. Andrea restocks herself to 10 bolts
We Might be able to bluff past, anything to get out of here before it is flooded with hellknights. Yes, let us hurry
I nod and look to Janiven. "You not hurt when fall in right?" I hand her a potion. "They were heathing wit dese. Take one just case." I turn to the others. "Okay we ready. We go now." Kenji stands by Janiven making sure she is good to go.
Check around for any arrowmarks and let us line up in our usual order. Andrea gets into her usual position behind Duncan.
Duncan has been unbuckling the enemies armor and chucking anythimg not nailed down onhis back Not encumbered by weight Not much to hide behind, keep yer eyes peeled fer im. Elf, yer in front with the torch, you'll see him in lowlight before he does.Hustle, everybody.
At Andrea's suggestion, John looks around one more time and notices the sword on the wall. "Before running off, maybe we should go that way instead." John points to the tunnel with the sword.
Huh?...well fair enough. You wanna go with torches or in the dark again
"Let's go with torches, it's not like going with no light has kept us out of battles any way. Plus time is of the essence and with torches we can go faster."
Torches. I believe that we need to make haste and having light will help us move faster.
Shinon growls and hands the torch to Andrea. "I'm not going to carry a torch. I need both hands free in order to fight. Andrea, hold this and stand behind me, I'll be able to see just fine with it."
With that, Shinon will take the front of the party, drawing and knocking an arrow and, assuming Andrea follows him, rush down the tunnel with the sword.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
No bickering please Diplomacy all around Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 If we are to kill that man we must move now. Shinon can strike him down from afar, otherwise let us follow that arrow.
[ooc]Correct me if I misinterpreted the party's action. The group has decided to follow the marked path rather than chase down the escaped Armiger, correct? What is the new marching order: Shinon, Andrea (with light), then...
I believe this is the marching order.
Duncan Andrea John Shinon Morosino, the boy Janiven Kenji
As the party hustles down the tunnel, it twists and turns a bit. There are scurrying little critters frightened at the intrusion of light into their environment. The tunnel feels as if it is going a bit deeper into the ground.The walls are moist and have a thin slimmy brownish covering.
This is an excellent oppurtunity for Duncan, Andrea and John to make a perception check.
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Perception:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Won't be posting much for next 10hrs. Day with the wife. Perception1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Andrea Perception check
[apoiler=Andrea Only]You hear squeeking form ahead.[/spoiler]
John's Perception check
"It sounds like there is something up ahead. I think I heard a yell, some one might be in trouble."
I heard something like squeaking ahead. Sounded like rats, with our luck, we are going to catch rabies.
The tunnel twists and turns a few more times and the sound of whimpering echoes in the tunnel. Light can be seen at a distance.
In common, "Henk, the alarm...something sneaking up the tunnel," there is a loud thudding sound and cry out in pain. Then deathly silence.
So it seems there are at least two unknown people up there with perhaps a third. I do not believe them to be hellknights since they seem to be getting ready to defend rather than attack. Perhaps we can bypass them.
"I think not, they sound as if they are up to no good. We should stop them." John will put on his tower sheild and pull his sword and head toward the sound.
As the group walks down the tunnel, a silhouette bends around the corner 60 feet from you. The is twang, followed by a whizzing sound, Henk, Cobb company....big one looks like a hellknight with his shield."
The first shot is at John leading the way, as he shifts postions with Duncan.
Short Bow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 John you are flat footed but the arrow clinks mightly off your massive shield leaving a noticeable dent. I see you are 19 FF AC, correct?
John you have 60 feet to cover before you get to the opening. Everyone else is 5 feet back in a line.
Let me roll out initiatives.
Yep 19 because I put on my shield.
Hellknights? Cetainly not! John, I think we have better things to do than get into a fight with those who have no love for Hellknights and are willing to shoot them. Plus we still have any pursuers to worry about.

Native Native American dogs
Pre-Columbian origins of Native American dog breeds, with only limited replacement by European dogs, confirmed by mtDNA analysis
Barbara van Asch et al.
Dogs were present in pre-Columbian America, presumably brought by early human migrants from Asia. Studies of free-ranging village/street dogs have indicated almost total replacement of these original dogs by European dogs, but the extent to which Arctic, North and South American breeds are descendants of the original population remains to be assessed. Using a comprehensive phylogeographic analysis, we traced the origin of the mitochondrial DNA lineages for Inuit, Eskimo and Greenland dogs, Alaskan Malamute, Chihuahua, xoloitzcuintli and perro sín pelo del Peru, by comparing to extensive samples of East Asian (n = 984) and European dogs (n = 639), and previously published pre-Columbian sequences. Evidence for a pre-Columbian origin was found for all these breeds, except Alaskan Malamute for which results were ambigous. No European influence was indicated for the Arctic breeds Inuit, Eskimo and Greenland dog, and North/South American breeds had at most 30% European female lineages, suggesting marginal replacement by European dogs. Genetic continuity through time was shown by the sharing of a unique haplotype between the Mexican breed Chihuahua and ancient Mexican samples. We also analysed free-ranging dogs, confirming limited pre-Columbian ancestry overall, but also identifying pockets of remaining populations with high proportion of indigenous ancestry, and we provide the first DNA-based evidence that the Carolina dog, a free-ranging population in the USA, may have an ancient Asian origin.

Good to see this confirms my hunch when I recently suggested better sampling of "native" American dogs, among others, to better understand the origins of cogs.

It makes me wonder about the shy and elusive packs of strays in New York neighborhoods. They rarely called attention to themselves but one night they made a racket as they killed a raccoon on our front lawn.

Rural people in Central America keep dogs that don't appear to be any European breed. They are yellow-brown, sometimes brindled, and tend to be fairly small. People considered them filthy because their main food was feces, so they didn't pet/play with them. They were pretty good watchdogs, yapping wildly whenever anyone walked by. Maybe that was useful enough, for an animal that was not much cost since rarely fed. They didn't seem to be good for anything else.
I suspect a fair amount of native dog blood in these. - Saturday, July 13, 2013 6:15:00 pm

It is nice to see genetic data conform to expectations from prior literature on the subject once and a while.

WebhostingDay: Open-Xchange to Initiate Open Data Cloud
Rafael Laguna de la Vera, CEO of Open-Xchange AG, gave Linux Magazine Online a preview of his upcoming Open Data Cloud at the WebhostingDay 2009 (WHD09) in Cologne, Germany
Laguna de la Vera wants soon to release an open specification and implementation that extracts contacts out of social networks and converts them into an open microformat. Desired applications, such as Open-Xchange, can then read and further process this data.
At WHD09 he showed how Open-Xchange can flow this data into HTML pages, whereby the contacts on these pages can be made accessible to other users. There would also be access controls. A typical use scenario that Laguna mentioned was address synchronizations so that users can match their contacts in groupware, such as in the Xing social network. A further example comes new-to-build work or interest groups that, according to appropriate access controls, can view the datasets of each other in order to get in contact.
The specification and reference implementation that Laguna wants to put under GPL should help rework datasets, from sources such as Facebook, into desired applications. Input on this from the community is welcome, says Laguna.

Before you get all wound out of shape about reading a diatribe on group riding vs. riding solo, you might want to reflect just a bit on why you choose one or the other when it comes to being involved with a motorcycle club.
By Lori Doliber #145898
November 15th, 1969 was the first meeting of the BMW Riders of Toledo. In going through club records to put this piece together I came across a document written by Don Smith, MOA #131, who is one of our original founding members and is currently the clubs Treasurer. The following was written five years ago:
Although there was already an established BMW club in Dallas/Fort Worth (BMW club of Dallas/Ft. Worth, Club #26, established in 1972), 20 or so individuals saw a need for a club in the North Dallas area since getting to the west side of Dallas, through the mid-cities and into Fort Worth to make a club meeting during rush hour traffic had become extremely difficult. Lone Star BMW Riders was formed in April, 1995 for the sole purpose of enhancing the enjoyment of our sport with group activities centered around one common bond: Motorcycling. Over the years, our membership has grown to 127. We have a very diverse membership, which includes many from different professions that share a passion for the sport of motorcycling.

Listen to "Ice In The Loveliest Veins", here:
Long Island indie rockers, My Summer, just self-released their highly anticipated new full-length album, "Ice In The Loveliest Veins", on July 2nd, 2011. In response to the albums immediate success the band is giving away a song for free!
ormed in 2005 by Mike Longo (guitar, vocals) and Joe Lambiaso (drums), My Summer quickly established themselves as a staple of New York's indie rock scene, picking up band members Dave Ferrara (guitar) and Joe Gruber (bass) along the way. Before year's end, they released their first EP and began building up a following along the East Coast with their mix of upbeat guitar-driven rock balanced by melodic, jazzy interludes. In Fall 2006, the band released their first full-length, Catch Fire.
My Summer's self-titled sophomore release debuted in November 2009. The album highlights the band's ability to synthesize a range of influences. Songs like "What Your Worth" and "Seething Soul" captured My Summer's upbeat, yet aggressive sound, while "Wake Up" and "Through the War", reveal a subtle thread of indie-pop. The record grabbed industry attention and the band found themselves featured on Fearless Radio, New Music Inferno, Eat Sleep Breath Music, PopTimes, AltSounds, The Sound Alarm and The Dave & Glenn Show.
So far 2011 has proved to be the year of My Summer and with this new release, it's clear their success has only just begun.

Dresden is deleted from UNESCO's World Heritage List
"Every time we fail to preserve a site, we share the pain of the State Party," declared María Jesús San Segundo, the Ambassador and Permanent Delegate of Spain to UNESCO who is chairing the 33rd session of the World Heritage Committee presently underway in Seville on Thursday.
The World Heritage Committee decided to remove Germany's Dresden Elbe Valley from UNESCO's World Heritage List due to the building of a four-lane bridge in the heart of the cultural landscape which meant that the property failed to keep its "outstanding universal value as inscribed."
Dresden was inscribed as a cultural landscape in 2004. The Committee said that Germany could present a new nomination relating to Dresden in the future. In doing so, the Committee recognized that parts of the site might be considered to be of outstanding universal value, but that it would have to be presented under different criteria and boundaries.
The 18th- and 19th-century cultural landscape of Dresden Elbe Valley stretches some 18 km along the river from Übigau Palace and Ostragehege fields in the north-west to the Pillnitz Palace and the Elbe River Island in the south-east. The property, which features low meadows, and is crowned by the Pillnitz Palace as well as numerous monuments and parks from the 16th to 20th centuries in the city of Dresden, was inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger in 2006 because of the planned Waldschlösschen Bridge.
Dresden is only the second property ever to have been removed from the World Heritage List. The Oman´s Arabian Oryx Sanctuary was delisted in 2007.
The 33rd session of the World Heritage Committee is meeting in Seville until 30 June. The Committee´s 21 members are reviewing the state of conservation of properties inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List and nominations for new inscriptions of cultural and natural sites on the List.

What happened to the claimed $1.3 million in the failed "recall Arpaio" effort?
Tuesday, June 4th, 2013Who is spreading myths here?
We have a quote from the editors of the AZ Central that is causing confusion to locals in Arizona as it relates to the Arpaio recall:
We are not fans of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. We enthusiastically recommended his Democratic opponent in the November election, with an editorial that went into great detail on Arpaio's abuse of the public trust.
Voters rejected our advice. They re-elected the sheriff, though by a small margin. We accept the result.
But some of Arpaio's critics won't take nearly 680,000 votes as a no. They've launched a recall campaign against the sheriff.
It should fail.
The recall is as much of an abuse of Arizona law as anything Arpaio has done. The election was less than three months ago. Arpaio took the oath of office a month ago. No new issues have arisen that weren't thoroughly vetted during the election campaign. There is no reason for another vote.
The recall organizers claim to have $1.3 million with which to collect 350,000 signatures in the next 120 days. There are so many better ways to use that money than an ill-timed recall campaign that smacks of sour grapes.
FULL STORY: http://www.azcentral.com/opinions/articles/20130202no-need-new-vote-arpaio.html
Was the boast of $1.3 million a planted story to legitimize the failed effort to recall Arpaio?
That said, it appears Paul Castaneda, treasurer of Citizens for Better Arizona (according to the Arizona Corporate Commission) is now stating:
"Because that was the number [$1.3 million] that the [AZ Central] paper published that must make it correct?"
So was there $1.3 million dollars to begin with?
How much money did the recall Sheriff Joe Arpaio campaign receive?
Where did the money go?
Is there fraud?
Why would anyone want us to believe $1.3 million was initially received?
More importantly, why didn't the recall Sheriff Joe Arpaio organizers write a letter to the Arizona Republic or AZ Central editor asking them to correct and retract the information regarding the $1.3 million? Randy Parraz & Co. should have denied it IMMEDIATELY unless they wanted Arpaio to believe they had the money from onset …. and it appears it may have temporarily worked, too, because Arpaio sent a letter to his supporters where he asked his supporters for more donations in light of the AZ Central quote.
In other words, even Arpaio believed it when he said:
"So far they have raised over $1.3 million to defeat me!"
Arpaio used the $1.3 million figure so that he can collect more money, too!
Are Randy Parraz supporters now calling AZ Central and/or the Arizona Republic editorial board "liars"?
If so, I would recommend that they write firstname.lastname@example.com since The Arizona Republic prides themselves with the endeavor to correct errors fully and promptly.
Remember … when running for Arizona Senate Randy Parraz once said: "Power is not just what you have, it is what others THINK you have."

On Apr 3, 2007, I switched my phone and internet service from AT&T to Cox Communication (the local cable company). For some reason AT&T has no idea how to terminate a business relationship. They have been jerking me around over 25 bucks for 3 months now. Ironically they keep sending me letters asking me to come back to AT&T, but I'm so angry with them, that's a fat chance. Anyway, I've spent hours and hours on the phone with AT&T trying to resolve my bill.
Every time I think we have reached an agreement about what I owe ($0.00) I get another bill or surprise. The latest was a call from a third party collections agency. So I spent another 2 hours on the phone with AT&T to determine, again, that I don't owe them anything.
Below is the letter of dispute I've written to the collections agency with my latest call notes. Skip ahead to the call notes, it's particularly interesting how the different departments within AT&T can't agree with what is going on.
To whom it may concern
My wife was contacted by your collections agency about a past due amount from AT&T for $25.82. This letter is to formally inform you that this amount is in dispute.
This amount was from when I disconnected my account on Apr 3rd. I was charged for the next month but because I canceled my service I didn't really owe that amount.
I had previously contacted AT&T on May 7th, and was told I had received a credit and that I did not owe AT&T money.
I've contacted AT&T again today. They have confirmed that this is a mistake and that I in fact owe $0.00.
Below are my call notes with your company and with AT&T on 6/25/2007
----------------------------------------------------------------------I called the collections agency back @ 1800 454-2227 at about 9:30 on 6/25/2007
Talked with a rep and told him the amount was under dispute. He gave me an address to send a dispute letter to
97 East Brokaw Rd
Suite 240 San Jose CA, 95112
Attention **********
I called AT&T Collections and first spoke with Chantil - 9:57 6/25/2007
She informed me that she did indeed see a past due balance and that I needed to talk with the high-speed internet department to resolve the balance, because if there was a credit she could not see it.
I was then transferred to the high-speed internet residential billing department. I spoke with Liza. She that there was an adjustment but it did not go through. She said that she would issue a manual adjustment and that she would then transfer me back to final billing where I could verify that the final balance was zero, at which point they would contact the collections agency and inform them that this was all a mistake. Her typist initials are IRLP in the notes field…
She also verified that the initial credit that did not go though (for whatever reason) was "applied" on May 7th 2007.
I was then transferred to final billing where I spoke with Mary.
I told her about my conversation with Liza and she checked the account notes.
She did not see the notes…
She didn't see the notes from May 7th either! She asked for my cell phone in case they needed to call me back…
I was transferred back to customer service where I spoke with Bill. He sees the credit and doesn't understand why they (final billing) can't see the credit "I don't understand why they can't see it…they aren't looking at the notes because It's clearly there".
I told him that I need final billing to agree that there is no balance otherwise when I send my letter of dispute to the collections agency, they will contact final billing and they will say "No he owes us money." If I cant get them to agree that the balance is 0 then I'm screwed.
He said he would try to get final billing on the phone to see why they don't see the credit.
He spoke with Christie, in collections, who finally saw the credit. He said, she said she pulled it from collections. I asked to be transferred to collections so I could verify that they really have the balance set at zero. (I wonder why I don't trust them.)
Bill transferred me back to collections/final billing. I spoke with Christie (a different Christie?) I re-capped the above notes. I told her that I wanted to make sure they (collections) did indeed agree that the account was at 0 and that third party collections had been revoked. She said that they did finally show a zero balance and that collections had been notified. "They have a different system than we do and some times the credits don't show up"
I hope this resolves the matter

By some calculations, modern technology—particularly in the social media and smartphone era—has led to the generation and archiving of more data in the past few years than anytime in history. The umbrella term, "big data," has been wielded in a variety of ways, broadly capturing the explosion of exponentially increasing troves of data: everything from users' Web-browsing trails to shoppers' purchasing history at the supermarket.
While the term "big data" is difficult to pin down, it's become increasingly prominent in the past few months, particularly given New York Times blogger Nate Silver's success using statistics to predict outcomes in the presidential election. The White House announced a $200 million big data initiative last March, which it said would "greatly improve the tools and techniques needed to access, organize, and glean discoveries from huge volumes of digital data." And there may be gaping holes in the workforce—perhaps even a shortage of 1.5 million managers with big data expertise by 2018—according to a May 2011 McKinsey & Company report.
IBM, which uses its Academic Initiative to partner with more than 6,000 universities, also stressed the importance of the field. "While there is a lot of buzz about big data in the market, it isn't hype," states the IBM website.
But as big data makes headlines, and engineering and business schools launch MBA and M.S. programs in this discipline, the terminology—which can range from "big data" and "business analytics" to "data science," "business intelligence," and "predictive analytics"—may confuse graduate school applicants trying to determine what kinds of analytics training they will need as executives.
When the University of Rochester's Simon Graduate School of Business Administration launches its new master's of science in business administration next fall, it intends to identify the program's concentration as business analytics, rather than big data, explains Mark Zupan, dean of the school.
[Check out three tips for students to fill the tech talent gap.]
"We first started thinking of this as 'big data,' and then our alums were the ones that convinced us we're much better positioning it as 'business analytics' .... There's always been a ton of data. To think because there's a ton of data you can make better decisions is crazy,'" says Zupan. "It's still 'garbage in, garbage out' if you don't know what to extract and how to interpret it. Just having more information is not an asset in and of itself."
Big data embodies the traditional vision of management as an art, where executives follow instincts, while the Simon School is gravitating toward analytics, because it is a more scientific approach, according to Zupan. "The people that use 'big data' loosely will sometimes backpedal and say, 'Oh yeah. We meant the other stuff, too,'" he says. "But in my mind ... too much of big data just focuses on a ton of data."
The Simon School isn't the only institution increasing its focus on business analytics. New York University's Stern School of Business, Arizona State University's Carey School of Business, and Michigan State University's Broad Graduate School of Management plan to debut master of science programs in business analytics in fall 2013. The University of Texas—Austin's McCombs School of Business already has an analytics M.S. program, and Indiana University—Bloomington's Kelley School of Business offers a specialized MBA in analytics.

Another cold front is forecast to work through the region tomorrow. This coupled with northwest flow off Lake Ontario will produce snow showers and flurries. Additionally, it will create an environment where lake effect snow showers and possibly heavier squalls will be around. Temperatures will struggle to reach the middle teens!
The shot of cold air for the weekend should begin to exit our region by Monday afternoon as high temperatures return to the mid or upper 20s…still below average but a 10 degree improvement upon Sunday. A storm system is forecast to take aim on the region Tuesday. Exactly how this storm track will have a large role as to what we see with regards to precipitation type. For now, we'll call for rain and/or snow, however, we should have a better handle on what falls by Sunday or Monday. More snow showers and lake effect is possible behind the system for Wednesday.

Tonight: Lake Effect snow showers expected south of Watertown. 2" - 3" possible. Low:13
Saturday: Mostly sunny and cold. High: 18
