DEP Secretary Mike Krancer said the seminar series will inform local governments and businesses "about how they can take advantage of an abundant, clean-burning, and inexpensive fuel found right here in Pennsylvania" and "will help us develop our grant program moving forward."
Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection is beginning a series of seminars Sept. 21, with the first one from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. that day at the Community College of Allegheny County, to help municipal and commercial fleet owners make informed decisions about converting their fleets to compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas. The agency's announcement said vendors interested in setting up an exhibit at the seminars may sign up through DEP's website.
"In addition to informing local governments and businesses about how they can take advantage of an abundant, clean-burning, and inexpensive fuel found right here in Pennsylvania, the feedback from these seminars will help us develop our grant program moving forward," DEP Secretary Mike Krancer said. "Revenue from the impact fees assessed on unconventional wells will be used to promote these sorts of fleet conversions."
According to the agency's release, a 2012 law authorized DEP to develop and implement a Natural Gas Energy Development program to provide as much as $20 million in grants during the next three years to help pay for the incremental purchase and conversion costs of heavy-duty natural gas fleet vehicles.
Additional half-day seminars will take place:

But arrived broken
Very difficult returns service: all very polite, but took several phone calls and emails. It shouldn't have been so tedious as it was not my fault the goods arrived smashedGood idea and ideal for presents. Just hope I can get photos to fit in them!Perfect.Photos look great in them.Items poorly packaged. Some items were heavy and therefore damaged an item in transit as not enough packaging was used. for protection. Now the damaged item may not be able to be replaced as stock has run out.....which is annoying as it is just what I wanted. Otherwise goods and service are great.Value for money and a novel gift idea!FineLovely giftAgain bought as a present but look as if they will do the job perfectlyProduct ok however we ordered 2x black and we received one green and one black. We wee requested to return any unwanted items recorded delivered. Given the cost of the items we decided to keep them and save them for Christmas even though they were not what we ordered.I would actually rate them satisfactory as the courier service used reflects badly on HPC. The courier was inflexible, insisting on a signature instead of leaving in a safe place as requested and also he was very rude to a neighbour!

Click on a link or image below to view the video tips and watch your skills grow. This monthLiquid LightWhile touring the Garrison Brothers Distillery in Hye, visitors walk through the barrel barn where the distillery ages its bourbon before bottling. The conditions in the barrel barn are favorable for the production of bourbon, but not as conducive to photographing the bottled product. In the dim lighting, the liquid may wind up looking flat or the bottle might look dark. On assignment for an upcoming Texas Highways article about bourbon tours, Photo Editor Griff Smith employed special techniques to make the liquid stand out and imbue the bottle with a distinctive glow. In his photo tips video, Griff shows how he used a white card and lighting to help a bottle of bourbon shine among the aging barrels. "Otherwise, it would look dark and lifeless," Griff said.

The Fund of Hedge Funds Software Market is a-Changin'
An Infovest 21 survey on the fund of hedge funds industry "found that over the past year, funds of funds' most frequent change, as cited by 41% of those surveyed, was adding more nimble managers to their underlying portfolios. Another 38% said they became more liquid/provided more liquidity."
Times they are a-changin' (channeling Bob Dylan) for fund of hedge funds as they look to add value to investors and differentiate their funds from the competition. This evolution also adds new levels of complexity, particularly as fund of funds move towards investments in small-to-medium sized hedge fund managers. Investments in smaller hedge fund managers offer the prospect of higher returns and portfolio differentiation, but in some cases also require more due diligence and monitoring.
New fund of fund portfolio management software tools are emerging to provide a unified view of portfolio holdings and allow for smarter decision making. One such product is from Ledgex Systems.
Today Ledgex Systems, a subsidiary of Eze Castle Integration (full disclosure!), introduced a new component of its core fund of hedge fund portfolio management platform. The new module, Ledgex Workbench, allows fund of hedge fund managers to more effectively conduct 'what-if' analysis based on their whole, or subset if desired, portfolio.
Ledgex Workbench takes what is typically a manual, labor-intensive process and replaces it with automation so managers can more efficiently and effectively analyze future capital allocation plans. This new module adds on to the existing Ledgex platform that includes:
- Ledgex Manager for advanced analytics, administration and decision support
- Ledgex Monitor for monitoring and tracking firm-defined fund attributes
- Ledgex Investor Relationship Management (IRM) for managing quantitative and qualitative data for a firm's investors and hedge fund or private equity interests
- Ledgex Alerts, which enables individuals or groups at a firm to monitor internal and external activity, content, business data and relevant industry information
Read more about Ledgex Workbench here.
Looking ahead you can expect that the fund of hedge fund software market will continue to evolve and play a larger role in fund differentiation, particularly as funds seek to "reinvent" themselves and deliver outsized returns to investors.

Schools adopting new methods to teach science
By Jeanne Millsap Correspondent February 11, 2013 8:10PM
Morris High juniors Carly Williamson and Cara Cummings consult with chemistry teacher Angela Zarley during an assignment. Zarley is implementing the new science standards in her classroom, which include more technology. | Jeanne Millsap ~ For Sun-Times M

Updated: March 13, 2013 6:01AM
Science is one of the most rapidly changing fields, and science teachers must constantly keep abreast of new discoveries and ways of thought. And that's not the only thing changing in science education.
Beginning next year, public school teachers will have to use an entirely new method to teach the subject, involving more inquiry, discovery, and analyzing than before — just like real scientists do in the field.
Science teachers at Morris High School are preparing for those changes, led by chemistry teacher and science department head Angela Zarley.
"In this fast-paced, quickly changing world," Zarley said, "students need to come out of school being able to think analytically … They're going to be problem solvers. This way of thinking will take them into any field they want to go into."
The changes in teaching that Zarley has instituted are in advance of what's called, "Next Generation Science Standards," the final plan of which is expected to be wrapped up this spring and put into schools in the fall.
Zarley said the standards will focus more on developing analytical skills in the students and will encourage the inclusion of more technology in the classroom. Kids learn differently today, she said, and teachers should adapt to that.
To pilot the program, the school's principal allowed Zarley to have enough netbooks in her classroom for each student to have his or her own every day while in her class.
One recent assignment involved the students doing computer research on trends in the periodic table of elements. Zarley said she could have just lectured to them on the trends, but rather than spoon feed it to them, the students looked up the information themselves and made the discoveries themselves.
"I want them to get the data, analyze the data, and make their own conclusions," she said. "By doing this, they are thinking at a higher level."
Science teachers in the elementary and junior high grades in Channahon schools are also eyeing the changes in curriculum and preparing for them.
"We're pretty impressed," Channahon Junior High Principal Chad Uphoff said of the changes. "Our teachers are passionate about science and are embracing these standards. They're pushing kids to think critically and work collaboratively."
One way Channahon has been implementing inquiry-based learning methods is by having engineers from ExxonMobil and Exelon visit and conduct experiments with the students in the classroom.
Uphoff added that the old standards were somewhat of a "hodgepodge of subjects." Now, there will be certain subjects in science that must be taught every year, something most educators agree is for the benefit of the students here and globally.
The U.S. is ranked 17th in science globally and 25th in math, according to ACT Readiness Benchmarks.

Eight cases of salmonella reported in Lancashire and Cumbria (From Blackpool Citizen)

Eight cases of salmonella reported in Lancashire and Cumbria
3:06pm Wednesday 18th September 2013 in News
EIGHT cases of salmonella, which are believed to be linked to the recent outbreak in Wales, have so far been reported in Lancashire and Cumbria.
Only one of the eight cases required hospital treatment.
So far 57 cases have been reported in the UK, and 36 of these have been in England.
Those affected range from an eight-month-old baby to an 87-year-old pensioner.
Nine people have so far been treated in hospital.
It is thought that the outbreak may have originated from cooked ham bought from independent butchers' shops.
Experts from Public Health England (PHE) are working with Public Health Wales (PHW), the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and environmental health officers from several local authorities to trace the origins of the contaminated food.
Dr Bob Adak, head of the gastrointestinal diseases department at PHE, said: "Although the source of the outbreak has not been confirmed some of the cases have been linked to the consumption of cooked ham sold by a small number of independent butchers.
"Investigating outbreaks of foodborne illness is a complex process as people have to try and remember what they ate some weeks prior to becoming unwell."

Users of Google Glass could one day control household appliances such as their TV, coffee maker, light switches and garage door according to a new patent filed.
Published today by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Google have applied for the rights to an application called 'Wearable Computer with Superimposed Controls and Instructions Device'.
Straight out of science-fiction predictions of what future homes will be like, the Google Glass would be able to present a virtual control panel - allowing the wearer to interact and make their coffee brew and their lights dim.
Look into the future: But are Google's glasses a sinister invsion of privacy?
The patent describes how the Google Glass will use sensors such as Bluetooth or QR codes set up around the house which will allow the computer inside the device to detect them and project an augmented reality user interface onto them.
'As one example, a virtual control interface for controlling a refrigerator (such as adjusting a temperature set-point) may be superimposed upon the refrigerator surface,' states the patent.
Open Seasame: These diagrams from Google's recent patent show what household items could be made more convenient by Google Glass
'In order to control the target device, the wearer may attempt to touch the virtual control interface at the apparent distance of the virtual control interface.
'For example, the wearer may touch a location on the refrigerator where a virtual button in the virtual control interface appears. The wearable computing device may recognize this touching motion as a control instruction and transmit the control instruction to the target device.'
Outside of the house, the technology could be used to send instructions to open or close a garage door as you approach either on foot or from your car.
And upon entering, the glasses would instuct the doors to close.
'In response to identifying the garage door and determining that it is in a closed state, the wearable computing device may display a virtual control interface that is superimposed over the garage door,' the patent states.
The system would work by picking up the interface of the appliance - rather like a computer picks up WiFi - and then the superimposed controls would come down so the wearer could what options are available.

RLCM Coach Talk (July 2012) Case Studies:
1 A player in your team has set a goal to play rep footy. He is so focused on achieving this that he gets too involved during games and plays for himself rather than the team. How do you use goal setting to help this player achieve his goals while at the same time helping the team?
A player as described above is often very motivated to achieve their own personal goals, sometimes even at the expense of the team. These players don't often 'buy-in' to the team goals, unless it suits them, despite saying that they understand the teams' goals and are 'on board'. In fact, this type of player is unlikely to respond positively to any form of goal that is given to unless they find a reason to (KPI's, minimum standards = Assigned Goals).
So, the way to manage them is to have them set their own goals, and then you can help them outline the things they need to do in order to achieve their goals. Here is where you align the individuals' goals with the teams' goals. By performing their role and completing the tasks necessary for them to do so, they are indirectly helping the team achieve the team goals. This can be reinforced by using an outline of what their role would be once they are selected in rep football and let them know that you are supporting them in their efforts for selection. The player is happy because you are not trying to turn them into something they are not (a 'team player') and you, the coach, are happy because they will now be working in the same direction as the team, despite getting there a different way.
This player often wants to feel special and recognised as being an important member of the team. They like to think that their needs and ambitions are a priority and the teams' goals and needs are secondary. Often this view has been created during junior football if they were the best player in their team, or used to getting their own way. You can choose to try and change them, or you can choose to work with them.
A survey recently conducted by SKINS found that 10% of players would prefer to be man-of-the-match rather than have his team win; this is the sort of player we are dealing with here. Their high level of motivation is self-centred, but this is not an issue if it is directed properly via the goal setting process. When done properly, both the individual and the team can win.
[Please note, there are consequences for the group if the above suggestion is followed; for example, others may view this as 'special treatment' and it may upset the group, thereby creating other issues to manage. This highlights the importance of getting goal setting right because there are ripple effects and consequences if it is done poorly.]
2 Your team train very well but don't play as well as you know they can on game day, especially when there is pressure on them to win. How do you use goal setting to turn this around or at least rule out goal setting as a possible cause of this issue?
The two classic causes of this are under developed mental skills or poor technical preparation, or both.
Under developed mental skills can lead to a team who has a focus on winning that is greater than their capacity to manage the pressure of delivering the technical skills that produce the result. Not performing as well on game day as they do at training is a sign of players not managing their nerves due to the pressure to perform on game day. The outcome goal (winning) increases their nerves to a point that they cannot manage and a poor performance is produced.
At the NRL level, teams often refer to themselves as being in a 're-building phase' which is designed to reduce expectations of the fans and hence reduce the pressure on the players to win. Teams will also try to adopt the underdog tag in an effort to reduce pressure on players (like the Bulldogs did against Melbourne recently, despite being a top-of-the-table clash which the Bulldogs went onto win comfortably).
If you, or your players, have no expectations to win and you have not got any outcome based goals in place, then you can rule out goal setting as a significant contributor to the stress that produces poor performance on game day. The likely cause is the practice environment where the skill level of the players is being developed, which refers to their technical preparation.
Skill breakdown under the pressure of competition commonly occurs when skills are practiced in a situation that is different from the competition environment. Basically, the practice drills that the players do so well at training are not doing their job in preparing the players for the pressure of competition. If your players rate competing as more mentally demanding than practice (not necessarily more physically demanding), then this is likely to be the reason why your team practices well and plays poorly on game day.
To have players perform well on game day, they must be spending some time practicing their skills under more pressure than they will get on game day. Coaches often won't do this because errors will occur, but that is the whole point of practicing under pressure – so you can make your errors at training while you are learning to perform under pressure. Then game day isn't as stressful, because your players have handled more stress at practice during the week.
If your team does prepare under pressure and they still perform poorly on game day, then they need to get better at mental skills such as managing their nerves, controlling their attention, managing emotions, building confidence and so on.
Goal setting then needs to be used to achieve this.

Girls in Extreme Sports
Meet Nancy Coulter-Parker. She's been an avid outdoor athlete for more than 20 years. She's also the managing editor of WomenOutdoors.com. Nancy told us why so many female athletes are becoming attracted to -- and excelling in the world of extreme sports.
Question: Why are more women and girls becoming attracted to alternative sports?
They now have role models. Girls can look up to Lisa Anderson or Rachelle Ballard in surfing, or Shannon Dunn and Barrett Christy in snowboarding, and Alison Sydor or Alison Dunlap for mountain biking.
Female role models are appearing across the board in alternative sports and team sports such as soccer, hockey, and softball. More than ever before, young women have other women in the sports arena to look up to as role models. The media is also covering alternative sports more widely.
These sports, which were first referred to as extreme, are now referenced in the mainstream as "alternative," but they haven't always been widely covered.
Question: Are there some sports that appeal to women and girls more than others?
I think women are drawn to sports that have fluidity and that require balance and coordination, not just a lot of "balls to the wall" attitude. For instance, women are attracted to surfing and snowboarding. Climbing is another sport in which women tend to excel, whereas skateboarding has not seen much growth in female participation.
Now that some of these sports have become more mainstream and women are seeing what's out there, we're seeing increased participation pretty much across the board. Backpacking and hiking are very popular among women and we've also seen increased participation in mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking, and windsurfing.
Question: If a young girl really falls in love with an alternative sport, what can her parents do to encourage her?
Help her find ways to participate and pursue her passion. Encourage her and partake in the sport with her if you can. If she loves snowboarding, then find out if there will be any snowboard competitions in the area in which some professional boarders are competing. This way, your daughter will have the opportunity to watch women who have also pursued their passion. Try to help her find role models in the community of the sport she is pursuing.
Question: Do alternative sports empower women and girls differently than traditional team sports?
Yes, they empower women with independence, individuality, and confidence. In alternative sports, the desire to improve must come from within, not because your team is pushing you. Yet, because these sports are so individual, any steps you do make or goals you reach can just be awesome for a young girl's confidence, because the rewards are all hers.

The Most Amazing Cheese Moment of 2011
December 21, 2011 - 4:27pm | by stephanieThis summer at the Vermont Artisan Cheese Festival I scored the last available Summer Snow from Woodcock Farm. Mushroomy bloomy rinds are a favorite of mine on a summer evening with friends. I brought it home to the Berkshires and that weekend we opened a bottle of wine, plunked the Summer Snow on a cheeseboard, and tromped out to the screen tent in our flipflops and shorts. We live outside all summer in the Berkshires, but barricade ourselves behind screens because it rains often, and the mosquitos, noseeums, and mayflies are ATROCIOUS. We settled in under our flimsy screen tent.
It was a beautiful evening with a cool breeze keeping the worst of the unwanted guests at bay. We were admiring barn swallows swooping, and cedar waxwings appearing to have an allout rave on the blueberries when the first drops of water hit us from behind. What the...? The western sky was black, but summer rain is a passing thing, and welcome. We scooted closer to the cheese.
Cheese wins the football pool
October 25, 2011 - 12:47pm | by stephanieI won my football pool (again) by picking based on cheeses and beers I was sampling this week. This is not a scientific method. And the good news is that next week I'll be chomping on new cheeses and sipping new beers, so the ramdom chances for winning are always there. And if I don't win...well, I still got to do the "research".
And for celebration tonight, I will be dining on inside out grilled cheese tonight. Triple the cheese!
Chocolate and Cheese: Handsome men in hairnets discuss a New Winter Sport?
September 22, 2011 - 4:59pm | by stephanieTaza Chocolate in Somerville Ma.
5 years ago Alex Whitmore and partners Larry Slotnick and Kathleen Fulton (also Alex's wife) started this mesoamerican-style bean-to-bar chocolate factory. And true to their vision, this chocolate is handmade from start to finish. They buy their beans in the DR, Mexico, Belize, and they recently added Bolivia. (note: if you get a chance, try the 87% bolivian choc bar side by side with the 80% DR...then you'll really see what terroir means to the cacao bean.)
Their beans are fermented, which means, like all things fermented, flavor is amped. And then they get roasted (in the fabulous Willi Wonka machine pictured below. don't you want one? I do. and it's RED!) The beans are then stone ground, on mexican stone mills that Alex hand chisels himself (check out the pic below of him holding one.) Impressive.
Best Cheese, in Canada
August 12, 2011 - 10:45am | by stephanieYou may all know this already, but Best of Show at 2011 ACS in Montreal went to Oregon's Rogue Creamery for Rogue River Blue (www.roguecreamery.com) the 2nd time they've taken the blue ribbon home! Second place was shared by Ontario's Finica Food for their Lindsay Bandaged Cheddar (www.mariposadairy.ca), and perennial winner from Wisconsin, Carr Valley, for Cave Aged Marisa (www.carvalleycheese.com). Third place was Quebec's Fromagerie du Presbytère for Louis d'Or (www.fromageriedupresbytere.com/. These are all seriously delicious cheeses. It rare to sample Canadian cheeses we, sadly, cannot get here in the US…and to get my hands on limited production cheeses too.
Oh Canada
June 16, 2011 - 3:55pm | by stephanieOh Canada…it's your turn for national hurdles.
Last night we brought your Stanley Cup back to Boston after a 39 year absence (thank YOU!). Your postal system is shut until further notice, and Vancouver based Hootsuite has ticked off a few PAYING customers (http://www.mediabistro.com/alltwitter/hootsuite-publisher-fail_b10216) with its latest upgrade. Ok. Not a good day.
But, you still have plenty of Canadian goodies right at hand.
Babes aBrewing; women in beer
April 21, 2011 - 4:50pm | by stephanieWhile at the Craft Brewers Conference, Lassa and I stumbled into the Pink Boots Society, http://pinkbootssociety.org/, annual meeting. Quite unlike the 5/1 men/women ratio in the rest of the conference, the room was jammed with women in brewing; brewmasters, QA specialists, pub owners, marketers, retailers, distributors, etc. There were seasoned pros and newbies.
Sebbie Buhler of Rogue Ales (and label model on Rogue Chocolate Stout) introduced us as culture founders, and urged all pink booters (ies?) to discover cheese. And afterward, we got the chance to meet many of them.

Cheese on Top
March 2, 2011 - 1:19pm | by stephanie"What is that?"
Ok, not the most gracious way to greet my husband who is, uncharacteristically, standing at the stove. But on the burner is a pot the size of a minivan. In his hand is a 12 mile long spoon. The pot is filled to the rim, molten liquid bubbles bursting wetly splatter the counter, and…the floor. The dog, aka "the Mop" for the extent of this kitchen escapade, has gamely taken on floor cleaning duty.
But, when I asked that rude question I did already know it was one of two things; a lifetime supply of dragon fire salsa, or (and here is where my heart started to sink) a vat of chili.
It's chili. We will be eating chili for quite a while.
(Why is it absolutely necessary to make chili in cafeteria size proportions? I have a theory. I think it's because this is xtreme cooking, not to simply put food on the table, but to make a statement about the essential manliness of chili.)

New research suggests that galaxies hold more 'normal matter' than scientists could image. This matter in the form of gas resides in halos that turn out to be about twice as vast as previously estimated.
By Pete Spotts, Staff writer / June 28, 2013
Spiral galaxies like the Milky Way appear to host far more ordinary matter than previously estimated, according to a recent study. That may help explain why spiral galaxies in the nearby universe are still producing stars at respectable rates when, by all rights, star formation in these galaxies should have run out of gas billions of years ago.

Crux is pulling up to the face and topping it out. Also odd at first to have the rock behind you for the traverse in. Not bad when you get used to it but kinda "inspect her gadget" at hp40 ish. but not as intrusive. cool features and good movement. Starts on obvious jug and goes to the right using the various lip holds and also the crack inside the roof for about 5 feet or so and then up the face
It is right behind "Out Past Curfew" just walk around to the right.
pad or two
I have pics that I'll put up later. cool prob though for sure.
Really fun problem, goes well with an Irish Stout.
the last sloper before the horn jug was like a faucet today. mysteriously oozing water out of nowhere...next time!
Might be just a little temperature dependent. Dabbed on the rock on my flash go, going up to the crimp on the upper face. Sent next go from the start. The holds felt fantastic today and conditions were perfect. The last sloper was seeping yesterday, just like what Brian said, but today it was super dry and sticky. Fun problem!!
nice dude! glad you dug it. Did u get on out past curfew around the corner? Its prolly the best climbs in the park for sure.
Haven't gotten on curfew yet. maybe later this week or weekend. It was an early morning session and it was COLD!! Perfect conditions, really.
awesome problem. did some video footage. here it is if you are interested.
Loved this thing - Definitely one of my new favorites at the Dodge.
nice. glad you dug it!
Does it matter which crimp is used to pull the lip on this guy, I used the one to left of the one that people are using in pictures. The one I used is basically straight up from the first sloper that your heel is on when you hit the big horn.
I've done it both ways, seemed pretty similar in difficulty. Pretty sure Sweaty went straight up from the horn on the FA.
i went straight up from the last slopers. There's a picture that shows the hold i used, if that helps.
Thats what I thought, it felt like the harder part was squeezing the seam and slopers before the jug. Didn't really feel like hitting the crimp was hard other than how far away it looks when your hanging there.
There's good pinkie jams in the slots underneath, allowed me to make the left hand bumps more smoothly.
I second the pinky jams. They hurt a bit after a few tries, but they really help.
Low gravity day on this one, Vinny flashed off the couch. He took it all the way to the horn but I did the reach for the good incut in the middle to top out. I think going to the horn could be considered an extension and the true V5.

--- Joel Garrett, sr., Hanover: The YAIAA Class AA singles champion was the clear standout on a rebuilding Hanover roster as he finished with 18 of the Nighthawks' 31 singles wins and six of their seven doubles triumphs. He also won one match in the District 3 Class AA singles tournament before losing to eventual champion Richard Saad of Wyomissing.
--- Cole Herzing, jr., Biglerville: Because Biglerville advanced into the PIAA Class AA Team Tournament, Herzing eventually led the Hanover area with 20 singles triumphs. The YAIAA Class AA singles runner-up and partner Nate Long also teamed for 13 doubles victories and third place in the YAIAA Class AA doubles tournament.
--- Chris Mathews, sr., Spring Grove: A second-team selection as a junior, Mathews was winning from his top-seeded singles position from the start for the Rockets, who ended the season on a three-match win streak. He eventually posted a 13-4 singles mark and accounted with two partners for three of the Rockets' six doubles wins.
--- Mack Meyer, sr., South Western: The lone repeat first-team selection, Meyer was the top singles player for the YAIAA Division I champion Mustangs for most of the season. The YAIAA Class AAA singles runner-up, he and brother Quin Meyer also placed third in the YAIAA Class AAA doubles tournament.
--- Anthony Miserendino, jr.

text: In the US, we enjoy practically unlimited access to any food any time of the year. Although it's nice to have watermelon in February and asparagus in August, many people don't even know that foods have a season, let alone what foods are in season at any given time of year. But in the food world, local is the new exotic. Farmer's markets are popping up in every neighborhood as consumers are realizing the benefits of eating food that was grown within miles of their mouths. Local food boasts a host of benefits, including better flavor, higher nutritional value, and less environmental burden. It's healthier for you because you get the higher nutrient levels from just-picked produce. It's healthier for the environment because local food uses less fossil fuel for transport. It tastes better because it really is fresh (not shipped-from-across-the-country-yet-still-bearing-a-label-that-says-fresh). And it's also interesting, as each season brings a new crop of foods that you haven't had for an entire year. Before you've had a chance to tire of its bounty, the season changes to bring new, flavorful foods. If you want to eat healthy, home-cooked meals without all the fuss, try a seasonal pantry makeover! To do it, stock up on locally-grown foods—a fun trip to your local farmer's market will yield the majority of the ingredients you need—and simply create meals based on what's in season in your region. Availability will vary from region to region, but here's a list of foods that make spring their season, along with tips on how to incorporate the new-to-you ingredients into your meals.

You wrote about choosing between the MU-2 and PC-12. The PC-12 in x-plane, despite of beeing a payware, looks like a freeware, toy-ish and rough textures, for this plane I'll rather switch to FSX and fly the excellent Flight1 Pilatus.For what concern the MU-2 I think it's a marvel. Controling gauges and levers in 3D panel has never been so realistic before. Everything is modelled and in this case there is NO MU-2 like this in FSX...Thanks for reviewing anywayRV

I don't have this model, so can't comment on it, but I did want to comment on the apparent Bias (or at least the appearance of) of the reviewer. He starts a paragraph with "FSX vs X-Plane - Not going there here". Then proceeds to bash FSX at every turn. I thought this was a review of an airplane model for X-Plane? There were absolutely no reason to bring the subject up in this review, except maybe comparing a FSX model of the PC-12 to the X-Plane model, which other then mentioning he flew a nice freeware FSX model, he didn't go into.
Posted 08 April 2011 - 08:22 AM
Hello and apologies for the delayed response. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read to read my first review effort for AVSIM. I would like to state I had no intention of introducing a bias or preference towards MSFS (FSX) and X-plane. When I read other reviews and commentary surrounding the simulations we enjoy the ones I pay the most attention to are those that actually allow a bit of the personality and thoughts behind the author to shine through and felt-being a new writer-my comments would be appropriate so you (the reader) might get to know a bit of my thought process and thus understand and hopefully enjoy the piece.As noted in the formal review:Reviewer's Note: I fly both simulation packages and enjoy each on its own merits.Perhaps I should have made that clear in bold as opposed to in italics!As opposed to a bash my motivation was more to enlighten readers to why a simulator pilot might be tempted to experiment with an alternative to the so-called "mainstream". I hope that makes my intentions a bit more clear.CheersTedp.s. I believe my next subject is an FSX pieceapparent Bias (or at least the appearance of)
Posted 05 July 2011 - 02:06 PM
I didn't think it was biased; just an honest account of the typical frustration that most of us have at some times, with FSX. Conversely, it's a fact that X-Plane tends to just 'run well' , with little need for configuration.(I use both and favour none over eachother. I Fly the MU-2, Corvalis TT, Dash8-Q400 and CRJ in X-Plane 9.7 , and everything else in FSX. So genuinely no bias).But X-Plane is starting to get some good complex airliner addons now (the Dash8-Q400 VC is stunning), so more AVSIM reviews would be great.

VISTA, Calif. - Authorities released the name Monday of a man who died over the weekend from gunshot wounds he suffered during a possible armed robbery in Vista.
Allen Francois, 32, was shot by an unidentified assailant at an apartment complex in the 2100 block of University Avenue about 12:30 a.m. Thursday, according to sheriff's officials and the county Medical Examiner's Office.
The Vista resident was declared brain-dead and taken off life support at Palomar Medical Center in Escondido on Saturday, homicide Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said.
Shortly before the fatal shooting, a robbery was reported at a nearby residence, leading investigators to believe the victim may have been gunned down by the thief.

Okeechobee, Florida
Okee-Tantie Campground & Marina (This Park is Now Closed)
[ 4/10 ]
County run and has the potential to be good if it were not for lack of services for the price. No cable, restrooms where not the cleanest, and poor maintenance as the sites have no grass, are dirt and full of stickers. Too bad the county does not lower the price as no one stays here because of pricing and way park is.
Ocala, Florida
Camper Village
[ 7/10 ]
Sites are all grass and need mowing, no Wi-Fi which is shame for as big as the place is. Caters to winter campers only. To much money for nothing.
Branson, Missouri
America's Best Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Great RV Park with everything, Wi-Fi worked well and cable was good. Sites are gravel and pretty well level,and everything is well cared for. Very friendly staff. We stayed the week of the fourth here and it was close to everything but out of the city noise. Would stay again when in the area.
Tupelo, Mississippi
Campground at Barnes Crossing
[ 8/10 ]
Stayed here going and coming on our trip and it is a nice campground. Sites are a little tight and on steep side of hill but are easy to get into and they are very level but mostly gravel with no grass which was fine. Wi-Fi worked very well as did cable. Very good place to stay and see the area, close to all the malls and shopping.
Eureka Springs, Arkansas
Wanderlust RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
This is a well kept RV park and has everything, Wi-Fi was excellent and sites are very large.. Had a great stay here and would go back. Close to all the area things to do and see.
Mountain View, Arkansas
Holiday Mountain Resort
[ 4/10 ]
This park has a great write up in all the papers for tourist but beware. Not very well cared for and help can't even tell you if sites are level which most are not. Very tight sites for anything over 30 feet. I have a big rig fifth wheel and the trees are not cared for or trimmed thus dragging on roof, I ask them to trim the steep ramp going into the campground but nothing was done, poor help and site management. Have to drive down very steep ramp and over a concrete bridge to get to campsites and the bridge is scary, probably would not pass state inspections. Must walk to the office if you want Wi-Fi. Will not stay here again, and if you own a big rig stay away.
Hardy, Arkansas
Hardy RV Park
[ 3/10 ]
Good for over night stay but better have your own bathroom. Nice riverfront and park next door, walking to center of town area and shops but town closes up at five pm.
Pine Mountain, Georgia
Pine Mountain RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
This is an excellent campground: it's well kept, has new sites, a new office, pool and restrooms. Only drawback is the new sites with concrete drives have no shade, but trees are here and will be great when they grow older.

Eamonn Lawless and Bill competing at the English national championships.
THE crack of thunder scuppered the chances of a Wootton farmer and his sheepdog winning the English national championships for a second time.
Eamonn Lawless and border collie Bill had won the previous day's trial to qualify for the run-off to decide the 2012 national champion.
"But, just before his run, there was a thunderstorm and it continued during it," said Eamonn.
"Bill hates thunder and, while he did brilliantly, I'm sure it upset his performance. When it came to my nemesis — the shedding — we lost vital points."
That meant Bill finished in third place at the trial, staged at Over Kellett, at Carnforth, Lancashire.
But he will be taking his place in the English squad in the prestigious supreme international championships, taking place between Thursday and Saturday, September 6 to 8.
Eamonn and Bill, who is eight-and-a-half, have previously scored impressive success together.
They won the English title in 2009, were team reserve in 2010, and, despite Eamonn being not fully fit after a hip replacement, were 12th in the world championships last year.
"Despite getting on a bit and nearly dying when he was young, Bill seems to have plenty of running left in him," said Eamonn.
"I'm thoroughly looking forward to the supreme championship next month, in which we are only able to compete thanks to the generous sponsorship of Wightlink."

Senator Warner Hosting Roundtable
INTRO: Sen. Mark Warner is in town this afternoon for a roundtable discussion with area small business owners and bankers.
The Senator wants to talk about his proposal to help small businesses get access to credit. He has been working with the White House to find ways to unclog frozen credit lines. His proposal is part of legislation that's already passed a House committee and it will come up for a vote in Senate legislation some time in the next couple of weeks. Warner wants to invest a small amount of federal money into an existing program that links community bankers with small businesses encouraging approval of loans that they would make if the economy was stronger. The meeting will begin at 2:00 at Consolidated Bank and Trust, the bank founded in 1903 by Maggie Walker as the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank.

Years Of Panties
Since I was young, I have worn panties. First my mom's and my sister's, then my first wife's. When I was a bit older, I showed my older brother that I was wearing my sister's undies after we got home from partying. I showed him, and then scampered away like a school girl to pleasure myself in private. Later that week, he confessed he wore undies all the time. Years later, I would completely dress up in my wife's panties, pantyhose, bras, and dresses to pleasure myself. I would walk near the windows so my neighbors could spy on me and see me completely dressed and wearing make-up. I have waist length hair and like to put it up in pigtails to frame my made-up face. I still check Laundromats and discount stores to get any panties I can. Forty plus years later, and with a different wife in a different town, I still dress up and we have fantastic sex this way; so long as I blindfold her first! I love to apply lipstick to myself as I'm breathing in her face, then put the same color on her; it�s very hot. My current panties are a collection of years, including donations from my wife, sisters, neighbors, strangers (via Laundromat), various stores, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, daughter, and even pairs from the roadside. I always wear shorts and sandals all year, and sometimes I'll sit on the toilet in a public restroom, just so I can push my brightly colored panties down to my ankles in sight of restroom patrons.

Government Shutdown Begins, Federal Offices Close
The shutdown started just after midnight Tuesday after Congress could not pass a resolution to fund the government.
The post office is open and Social Security checks are covered, but at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, much of the federal government closed.
The closure is the first in 17 years and stems from House Republicans' demands that any continuing resolution contain a provision delaying the Affordable Care Act. That's a nonstarter for the Democrat-led Senate and President Barack Obama.
"You don't get to extract a ransom for doing your job, for doing what you're supposed to be doing anyway, or just because there's a law there that you don't like," Obama said in an address Monday, according to The Washington Post.
On Tuesday morning, the Senate voted to shelve the House's new version of the funding bill, which also included the language on the health care bill, NBC News reports.
Key provisions of the Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare," took effect Tuesday, including the individual insurance marketplaces. Maryland's marketplace, called the Maryland Health Connection, is open for business.
The last federal government shutdown lasted 28 days from December 1995 to January 1996. It was caused by disputes between President Bill Clinton and a Republican Congress on issues including Medicare spending and environmental regulations, according to an Associated Press report at the time.
With the shutdown, national parks are closed. Ninety-seven percent of NASA's employees, including at Goddard Space Flight Center, are furloughed. Military personnel at installations including Aberdeen Proving Ground and Fort Meade remain on duty. Benefit payments and embassy and consular services will continue uninterrupted, air traffic controllers and border agents are on duty, but federal courts could begin furloughs later this month, CBS News reports.
Some federal websites are shut down, too. Even the National Zoo's panda cam is offline.
What does the shutdown mean in Maryland? For starters, most of Maryland's 90,000 federal employees and 180,000 contractors could face furloughs or lost work. A Towson University analyst said he believes the shutdown could cost Maryland workers $18 million to $68 million in lost income per day.
After past shutdowns, Congress has authorized back pay for furloughed employees, but it's not yet clear if that will happen during this shutdown.
How does the shutdown affect you? Do you think Congress will reach a deal this week? Tell us in the comments!
