Frequently Asked Questions for Augason Farms Food Storage Products:
Q: How will my product be shipped?
A: Most items are shipped by small parcel carriers like FedEx or UPS. The larger kits will arrive in multiple boxes from a single carrier.
Q: What do the numbers mean that are marked on my food storage kit boxes?
A: To facilitate fulfillment of your order, all kit boxes are pre-assembled with specific products, then pulled from inventory to assemble your order. Numbers on the boxes may not be in sequential order. Pail items will be shipped in separate cases.
Q: Why when I open the cans/pails, are some only partially filled?
A: With some products, settling occurs and is expected. Cans/pails are sold by weight and not by volume for that reason.
Q: Once I open the product, how long do I have to use the product?
A: Shelf life varies by product and is affected by temperature and moisture. Once the can/pail is opened, the storage life for most products is approximately one year.
- Beans, Freeze Dried Fruits & Vegetables, Grains: 30 years (Exception – Brown Rice: 7 years)
- Bakery Staples: 30 years (Exception – Ultimate Gel, Shortening Powder, Flour, Vital Wheat Gluten, Dough Enhancer: 10 years)
- Dehydrated Fruits & Vegetables: 25 years (Exception – Banana Slices, Potato Gems: 10 years)
- Freeze Dried Meats & Entrées: 25 years sealed - 1 month opened
- Delight Drinks: 15 years
- Vegetarian Meat Substitutes, Cocoas, Cereals, Bakery Mixes, Eggs & Dairy: 10 years (Exception – Morning Moo's: 25 years, Chocolate Morning Moo's: 15 years)
- Soups & Sauces: 10 years (Exception – Alphabet Soup Mix, Vegetable Stew Blend, Hearty Vegetable Chicken or Beef Soup Mix: 25 years)
A: Product is best when stored in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 55˚F and 70˚F (ideal humidity 15%). Once product is open, please ensure the lid is secure when storing and use within the guidelines.
Q: Does heat or cold affect the shelf life of the product?
A: Heat shortens the storage life of any food – the cooler the storage, the longer the storage life.
Q: How do I compare "servings per can or pail" to product weight?
A: The truth is you cannot. Our serving sizes and number of servings per can are set with respect to government guidelines on food nutrition and recipe requirements for each product. You will find some recipe creations may require multiple servings of specific products to create the recipe. When reviewing food storage kits, a good comparison is based upon number of persons, calories per day, length of time and calculating the total number of meals possible. For example: 1-Person, 1-Year (3 meals per day, 365 days = 1,095 total meals), 1,700 calories per day.
Q: If a can gets dented, does it affect the quality of the product?
A: Small dents may occur in cans from shipping, and this is normal. They do not pose a problem, provided the seal has not been broken at top or bottom of the can. If the seal has been broken at the top or bottom of the can, please contact Sam's Club Customer Service to resolve the issue: 1.888.746.7726.
Dents should not occur from shipping in pails.
Q: Are the cans/pails marked with "use by" dates?
A: Cans/pails are marked with a production date called a Julian date. For example, 12022 means the can was produced in 2012 on the 22nd day (January 22). Each can is also marked with the expected storage life.

Thursday, March 7, 2013
Quite often when in church I pray for inspiration to find a subject for an upcoming column. Recently God sent one immediately – and in the same pew. My local family took up nine seats in a row last month for the performance of the Fourth Annual Sweetgrass Festival of Children's Voices held in Bethany United's beautiful church. This gathering of five area choruses included the University Children's Chorus in residence at Charleston Southern. Two of our grandchildren, Riley and Grace, were singing Jubilate Deo with that group.
Our son David, the children's father, sat next to me and during a lull in the vocal renderings while the various singers changed places, I said to him that I had a new computer program. It was (naturally) causing me some heartburn and if he found himself in Summerville one day soon, I'd give him a Dagwood sandwich if he'd give me a little time and try to drum a trickle more of computerese into this ole' head. David is my electronic guru, but I'm always loath to ask him for help as he lives in North Charleston and is mighty busy with many other minor details, like his architectural practice and his wife Amy and their three kids. He's very gracious though and thank God – very patient – and will always come as soon as he can. But he said, grinning at me, "If I can't make it, I'll send Adam."
I glanced at the four-year-old sitting next to him, who was busy navigating on his mother's iPad. He had the minicomputer propped up on his knees and gazed intently at the screen holding his tiny hands up. Suddenly he sat back in satisfaction, inserted his left thumb firmly into his mouth and plied the keyboard with his right hand like a miniature Van Kliburn. "What on earth is he doing," I asked David.
"Searching through to find the program he wants so he can play the games he wants and in the order he wants," explained his father. I remembered a couple of years ago when our phone rang and Jim picked it up only to be greeted by gurgling sounds. "This is worse than some of the babble we usually get", he grumped and was about to disconnect when the caller clearly said to him "Pop Pop," and the line went dead. David told us later that Adam was teaching himself the cell phone. Apparently he's mastered that and is well into the iPad.
"How on earth does he learn do make the computer work for him like that," I asked bewildered, "He just picks it up and tries it out and learns that way mom". And it's the best way, David told me for the umpteenth time.
Well maybe he's right. On the next occasion I need help and if my son can't come and I can't spring Adam from K4, I'll try the latter's method. I'll gaze intently at the screen, firmly insert thumb and get on with it.

OKALOOSA ISLAND — Florida must begin looking for alternatives to gas tax revenue to pay for future road work, state Department of Transportation Secretary Ananth Prasad said Wednesday.
That was one of Prasad's main messages during his keynote speech at the first Emerald Coast Transportation Symposium at the Emerald Coast Convention Center.
The one-day event drew almost 200 people from Escambia to Gulf counties.
"The gas tax as a funding source is not sustainable," Prasad said.
With the advances in fuel-efficient vehicles, that revenue is dwindling fast, he said. Prasad predicted the state is about 10 years away from a "gas tax cliff."
Although Floridians are driving the same amount, they are using less gas. That means less money goes into the state's Transportation Trust Fund.
Prasad said one solution is for the state to offer incentives to counties that join forces to fund transportation projects.
"It's important that we think about transportation as a regional idea," he said. "Congestion doesn't end at the county line."
Another solution is to move toward more user-financed infrastructure such as toll roads — and give local governments the flexibility to build them, Prasad said.
"Tolls are user fees," he said. "You use the road, you pay for it. You don't use the road, you don't pay for it."
Prasad said he intends to propose to state lawmakers in the coming days a plan to form three new tollway authorities, two of them in Northwest Florida.
The Okaloosa-Bay Regional Tollway Authority would encompass Okaloosa, Walton and Bay counties. The Northwest Florida Regional Tollway Authority would encompass Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. The third, the Suncoast Regional Tollway Authority, would include Citrus, Levy, Marion and Alachua counties.
Prasad said his proposal needs the support of Northwest Florida and its lawmakers. He also urged officials to be willing "to use new tool boxes" and get creative with the way they finance transportation improvements.
In a question-and-answer session after his talk, he said the DOT has no plans to consolidate the state's bridge authorities under Florida's Turnpike Enterprise. But he noted that his toll road proposal calls for the Mid-Bay Bridge Authority to be placed under the umbrella of the proposed Okaloosa-Bay Regional Tollway Authority.
That move "would allow the Mid-Bay Bridge Authority to expand its footprint," Prasad said.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has announced a pair of compelling mixed martial arts (MMA) fights for its upcoming UFC 168 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which is set to go down inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Dec. 28, 2013.
First up is a middleweight bang-o-rama between Uriah Hall vs. Chris Leben.*Leben Hall - Loser leaves town match?On the flip side, someone could be in the title hunt at 145 pounds, depending on how well Poirier (14-3) performs in "Sin City." After a disappointing setback against Cub Swanson earlier this year in London, "The Diamond" was as sharp as ever in his next trip to the cage, turning away former division contender Erik Koch at UFC 164.
He's got his hands full in December.
That's because Brandao (18-8) hasn't tasted defeat since getting tripped up by Darren Elkins in his sophomore appearance. Since then, "DB" has rattled off three in a row, including a unanimous decision win over Daniel Pineda at the UFC Fight Night 26 event last month in Boston.

Hitting The Road Without A Driver
Originally published on Mon August 19, 2013 2:19 pm
The cars we drive have gotten ever more sophisticated. They can just about park themselves; they tell us if we're drifting out of our lane; they can prevent skids. Some even automatically apply the brakes if they sense that a collision is imminent.
Engineers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh are developing a car that can do all of those things and more — it can actually drive itself. Imagine that commute to work.
The car, developed with General Motors, is by all appearances a normal Cadillac SRX crossover. That's by design, according to Jarrod Snider, the chief engineer on the project.
"We're not using really fancy, really expensive devices all over the car," he says. The sensors are integrated into the car, "so when you look at the car you don't see a lot of things hanging off of it."
Hidden in the bumper and behind the car's grille are three types of systems that guide the car's decision-making — sensors, lasers and cameras. Snider says the sensors provide input for the car's software, "so when we see an object we can say that's a person or that's a sign or that's a traffic light. ... We can actually do some classification of the object."
The car's navigation screen will show and identify pedestrians and bikes, as well as traffic lights and some road signs. It also has thermal imaging, useful to identify objects at night, beyond the range of the car's headlights.
In the back of the car, below the floor where the spare tire would normally be, are four computers about the size of Apple's Mac Mini, cooled by an air-conditioning system. Snider says the computers are a development platform and won't be as big or noisy when driverless cars are commercially available.
Inside, the car looks pretty normal, too, with one exception — a big red button that sits prominently in the middle of the dashboard. Snider says it's there for when engineers are testing a new system. If something goes wrong, "we can just push that button and that just turns the car back into a stock car, immediately," he says.
Surprisingly, a test ride in the autonomous Cadillac occurs not on a closed course, but on busy Route 19, a multilane highway in Cranberry Township, outside Pittsburgh. Snider says township officials have been cooperative and helpful with development of the driverless car, installing special radio transmitters on traffic lights to tell the vehicle when to stop (the car can also "read" the lights with a camera positioned over the windshield).
Snider says it's hard to replicate real-world conditions on a closed course. People drive in unpredictable ways; they stop suddenly, change directions; there are pedestrians jaywalking.
To put the car in driverless or autonomous mode, Snider simply turns a knob located near the gear shifter.
"System starting up," a female-sounding computer voice intones. "Autonomous driving."
The car pulls out of the parking lot. Though Snider is behind the wheel, he's not touching it, as the car stops at a stop sign, waits for traffic to clear and then makes a right turn onto the highway.
The car is programmed much like a driver programs a GPS for directions. In this case it's heading for a restaurant in a shopping center. We travel about a half-mile down the busy road, the car accelerating, stopping at a red light and moving into a left-hand turn lane, where it waits for a green arrow before proceeding.
The drive is not always smooth. The car tends to wait until the last minute before braking and floors it when accelerating to its desired speed. Snider says engineers are working on that, but that it's difficult to precisely re-create the human touch on the gas pedal and brakes.
Carnegie Mellon's car is not the only driverless vehicle around. Google has one as well. Raj Rajkumar, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon, predicts that by 2020 the technology needed for driverless cars to travel normal roads will be ready. Though he says it make take a bit longer for the legal system and insurance companies to catch up.
"It has to go through the societal process of acceptance, the legal process of laws being in place that allow driverless vehicles on the roads, the insurance aspects of liability, the legal things falling into place," Rajkumar says.
The federal government has already begun conducting research with an eye toward establishing standards for driverless vehicles. Three states — California, Nevada and Florida — have passed legislation allowing testing of driverless cars on their roads.
Let's head to the streets, where the cars we drive have gotten ever more sophisticated. They can just about park themselves, tell us if we're drifting out of our lane and prevent skids. Now we may have arrived at the final frontier, putting all those things together and more to make cars that drive themselves. The latest prototype has been produced by engineers at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University. NPR's Brian Naylor took a spin.
BRIAN NAYLOR, BYLINE: The first think you notice about Carnegie Mellon's autonomous car is, well, nothing. Sitting in a parking lot, it looks like any other medium-sized SUV. Jarrod Snider is the project's lead engineer.
JARROD SNIDER: This is a 2011 Cadillac SRX, of course heavily modified by us. Most of the sensors are integrated in, you know, the bumpers or somewhere in the car.
NAYLOR: Hidden in the bumper and behind the car's grille are three types of systems that guide the car's decision making - sensors, lasers and cameras.
SNIDER: So when we see an object we can say that's a person or that's a sign or that's a traffic light, something like that. We can actually do some classification of the object.
NAYLOR: We walk around to the back of the car. Snider opens the hatchback and lifts the floor where the spare tire would be.
SNIDER: So this is where the main computing happens. Inside here we have four computers. They're all right now doing different tasks, but they're essentially identical hardware.
NAYLOR: The computers are small black boxes about the size of dinner plates. The sound is the air conditioning to keep them cool. They won't be this big and noisy when driverless cars are commercially available. And inside the car looks pretty normal too, with one exception. There's a big red button that sits prominently in the middle of the dashboard.
SNIDER: That's an emergency stop button. That's basically when we have experimental development code, we're testing something new. If something goes wrong, we can just push that button and that just turns the car back into a stock car immediately.
NAYLOR: Somewhat reassured, I climb into the back seat. Snider takes the wheel and Carnegie Mellon Professor Raj Rajkumar rides shotgun as the car's inner voice speaks up.
COMPUTER VOICE: System starting up.
SNIDER: It tells me that it's starting up. An autonomous ready means that we can now put into auto whenever we want. So it's in manual mode. I can drive like a normal car. I mean it's letting me know that whenever I want the car to take over, it can take over. So I'll go ahead and put into autonomous mode here.
VOICE: Autonomous driving.
NAYLOR: The car is programmed much like a driver programs a GPS for directions to, say, a restaurant. I assume it's programmed to take us on a spin around a closed test course, but no, that's not where we're going at all.
SNIDER: And basically what we've done is we've asked it to take us to a complex down here that has some restaurants and things like that there. So this is simulating that you start at your house and you want it to take you to dinner, something like that.
NAYLOR: And I should point out, we're not on a little country lane here. We're on a four-lane, actually a five-lane divided highway in the middle of a busy suburb with traffic lights, with shopping centers and restaurants and quite a lot of traffic. And this car is making the decisions on when to accelerate, when to stop, when to change lanes, all on its own.
Snider says it's hard to replicate real world conditions on a closed course. People drive in unpredictable ways. They stop suddenly, change directions. There are pedestrians jay-walking.
SNIDER: Given that people can do anything like that, we have to make sure our car is pretty robust and pretty safe and can deal with things that aren't just, you know, the nominal driving that people do.
NAYLOR: Carnegie Mellon's autonomous car can detect red lights. It recognizes pedestrians and bicyclists. Still, there are a few glitches to be worked out.
VOICE: Changing lane.
SNIDER: Sorry. There's a sign up there. It wants to change lanes, but there's a car there that's not allowing it to change lanes. Even though the turn signal is on there (unintelligible) so I think we'll wait for an opportunity and then it will - and then once the traffic is clear...
VOICE: Changing lane.
NAYLOR: The car also tends to wait until the last minute to brake and floors it when accelerating, but Snider says those things are being worked on. Carnegie Mellon's car was developed in a partnership with GM and it's not the only driverless car around. Google has one as well. Carnegie Mellon Professor Rajkumar predicts that by 2020, seven years from now, the technology needed for driverless cars to travel normal roads will be ready.
Though he says it make take a bit longer for the legal system and insurance companies to catch up.
RAJ RAJKUMAR: It has to go through the societal process of acceptance, the legal process of laws being in place that allow driverless vehicles on the roads, the insurance aspects of liability, the legal things falling into place.
NAYLOR: The federal government has already begun conducting research with an eye toward establishing standards for driverless vehicles. And three states - California, Nevada and Florida - have passed legislation allowing testing of driverless cars on their roads. Brian Naylor, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Comments about Drywall Sander with Dust Collection:
I can sand a room ready to prime in about 1/3 the time doing by hand and with 90% less dust. It's a little heavy and overhead sanding tires one out but then so does manual sanding. I have no regrets about spending the sizable money for it. It pays for itself quickly.

Comments about Drywall Sander with Dust Collection:
Buy the tool! Don't hesitate anymore! Yes it's a bit expensive, but much less expensive than some of the other name brands I've seen. There really isn't another way to do wall board work. Like everyone else, I've been struggling with hand sanding for a long time, and it's a mess, doesn't come out that well and the dust goes everywhere and all over me! This tool on the other hand sands nice and smooth very quickly.
It does get a bit heavy, but It's hardly worth mentioning - it's a Porter Cable and the quality is outstanding.

Thanks for the info this thing works great
Thanks for the info this thing works great
Sweet I have been wondering how to bend these things without buyin an expensive jig... and I have a bunch of scrap steel out in my shed that was left here by the old man I bought my house from... some of it is rusty but could all be cleaned up.. im gonna bet almost everything I need is out there.. now if I can just get it without gettin bit by a spider or a snake
i was wondering how i could make my own receiver cheap. this is the greatest idea ever. i work at lowes so im going to pick up what i need tomorrow. hell it will be even cheaper with my employee discount. when i get my flats in i plan on making a video for youtube if im successful. anyone who has been successful that wants to throw in some more input. did you go the BFH route or pull it thru with bolts?
Never thought of that bolt thing. Be a lot more stable if ya welded endplates on her after getting the ID correct with the bolts. Great idea.
Pull it through with bolts, its almost too easy!!!
"A large caliber is good to have, but its shot PLACEMENT that counts"
"The way is in training"
Miyamoto Musashi
Can someone explain how to modify the poor man's jig to use with bolts, like Jroybal did back on page 10? I kind of get it, but I must be a little dense. I was just starting to grasp how this whole thing works. Any help will be appreciated.... going to try to bend my first flat this week.
Copied this jig when i started and works great. Just be patient with the measuring
Thanks for the info every body. I only wish I had learned of parts kits and the hobby of gunbuilding from those kits long before now. It really reminds me of the cars I build, taking a heap of scrap finding an engine to throw together, put her in and crank it up and hearing that rumbling sound for the first time... I am sorry, just rambling off on a tanget. Anybody get the subtle car reference there.
It's the mechanic, not the tools. Although better tools help.
I have a Yugo m64 kit that should arrive next week. This is the first build for me and I think I will put it together the way this guy did. The AK Files Forums - Yugo M64 Under Folder Taking Shape
This jig is very clever.

In order to help you complete your degree as quickly as possible, the School of Computing and Software Engineering has instituted a Mandatory Advising Policy. As you will see, this policy will require you to have a degree completion plan indicating which courses you are planning to take over the next two semesters. You will be required to be advised to create the initial degree completion plan. As long as you keep completing courses according to the plan, you are not required to seek advising, although you are of course free to do so. You will also be required to be advised when you are in the last semester of your current degree completion plan unless this is your last semester of course.
In order to make a degree completion plan, you will obviously need to know in which semester we are offering which courses. We therefore also created a permanent schedule. The schedule is minimal in that they list only the courses that we are committed to teaching in each semester, even though we may be offering more. However, in creating your degree completion plan, you must never assume that we will be offering a course in a semester that is not on the permanent schedule.
If you have any questions about the policy or the permanent schedules, please contact Ms. Beth Haynie, Ms. Ashley McClure, your program coordinator, or your department chair.

At the Nov. 28 committee meeting, Chairman Donna Giles reported that literacy surveys have been distributed to selected students and local agencies. Family Connection Coordinator Joy Carr added that 10 surveys were given out, and three have been filled out and returned to the committee.
Giles told committee members the most important work will come when the completed surveys are returned.
"We'll do that in January. I'm thinking we will divide and conquer," she said.
The goal is to have the surveys back from the schools before Christmas break.

"I ordered this invitation for a winter wedding reception in December. It is elegant, modern and understated. Exactly what I wanted. The card stock is nice and the red print makes the invitation festive without being too cutesy. I was late in ordering and used the expedited process. Super fast and got the invitation in 4 days. Just in time! I was thrilled with the purchase and customer service. I would definitely order from Wedding Divas again."
"This is a fantastically beautiful invitation.Love the colors and unique design and to make things even better, it arrived ahead of schedule and under budget! The guest of honor commented that these are her 2 favorite colors."
"We used this card for our rehearsal dinner invitation. The best part was that we could change the word "Salud" to one that worked with our Greek themed party! Everyone who got their invites gushed over them and said they were one of the most fun and unique invites they had recieved, next to our wedding invites also from WPD."
"We customized this card for our engagement party. It turned out very nice. The site is so easy to use and the designer suggested text that would improve the layout of the invitation. Very happy! Thanks!"

Hand in hand, bundled up against the wild wind, we picked our way along the old stone wall above a narrow stretch of beach somewhere between Ploudalmézeau and Plouguemeau. Quaint picture postcard fishing villages dot the coastline, those low stone walls the only protection against the wild waves of tempests. This single day was sunny and bright although sweaters and coats were necessary even for a spring day up in this spectacular, wind whipped, chilly part of the country. Our faces often turned towards the warmth of the sun, we watched brave Bretons frolic in the frigid water, fishermen tying and untying rope, dogs romp in the mud and old locals and tourists alike wander the tiny cobbled streets. We poked through pretty little shops displaying bowls for cider, plates for crêpes and picture postcards as we breathed in the fresh, bracing air and built up an appetite.
We have always adored visiting Brest, visiting Brittany since the first time husband and I drove out to the very tip of France the day after our marriage, a poor-man's honeymoon but one filled with friends, food, laughter and romance. Extravagant, awe-inspiring landscapes, Bretons have come to live within the rules set by Mother Nature, coexisting with the elements rather than trying to tame them. Mornings at waterfront markets or afternoons meeting the boats at port to buy fresh seafood, in between tiptoeing through ancient Celtic monumental stone piles, we have travelled from one end of Brittany to the other from the pre-historic to the modern, from the islands off the coast to art and music festivals in the city. From sweet, ethereal crêpes swimming in salty butter and crunchy with sugar to savory galettes stuffed with Andouille and sweet apples or thick slabs of gooey goat cheese, from local gariguette strawberries from Plougastel to tiny black bigorneaux snails, their dense, slick black bodies pulled out of the shells with straight pins and plump crabs eaten with bare hands, dipped in butter or homemade mayonnaise all washed down with bottles of cider, the food of Brittany is worth the trip itself.
Happily we live at what was once – and again attains to be – the southern tip and proud capital of Brittany and the fresh ingredients we find on our market are still pungent of the sea, and the food we eat out is Brittany at its best, albeit with a local twist. We had eaten the famous Prat ar coum oysters in our own tiny corner of Brittany and when invited by friends to spend a short vacation in Brest husband knew he had to track these treasures at their source, eat them straight out of the water. Some men offer their women diamonds or rubies, others bundles of roses or boxes of chocolates. Mine offers me oysters and lobster. We found their vivier – the warehouse, cement floors, men and women decked out in rubber boots, rubber aprons and rubber gloves stomping through puddles from tank to huge tank, scooping out live beasts, crabs, lobsters, clams galore and bagging them for clients, or shoving them in the floor-to-ceiling cookers so one could then head home with freshly-steamed seafood, yes we found the warehouse where chefs and fishmongers, locals and tourists alike stand elbow to elbow waiting patiently, ogling the living treasures as in some museum, pointing out the one wanted. Heaven! And nestled behind the vivier, hidden away from all but the most devoted, the most curious, was a tiny restaurant.
And that night we returned and dined on oysters and fresh lobster with glasses of crisp white wine. And as we were finishing, sated and content, we spied a woman through the fading light of late evening slowly heading towards the restaurant from a house off in the distance, its light-infused windows bright and cheery. And she was carrying a large baking tray fresh from the oven, if the tea towels with which she was gripping the pan were any clue. And as she got closer, as she stepped through the door of the diningroom we saw that she was carrying in dessert baked in her own home at the end of the lane. A Far Breton. What else? The only dessert on the menu. And thick, creamy slabs, warm and tender, of that Far were served to each diner dusted simply with powdered sugar and husband and I went home that night, arm in arm, happy.
Far Breton, one of Brittany's secret gems, a delicious local specialty, is a dense, oven-baked, custard-like flan only creamier, lighter than the one most of us are familiar with, and it is usually and traditionally studded with sweet prunes macerated in rum. The batter is very much like crêpe batter but with just a tad of flour. All one needs to make a perfect Far is the best quality eggs, butter, salted of course, sugar, flour and whole milk along with fruit, whether prunes, apricots, apples or other, although my son adamantly prefers his plain with no fruit at all. My recipe comes from my friend Isabelle, a true Bretonne, a Frenchwoman born and bred. Yet as she, like my own husband and every French friend I have, cooks and bakes au pif, literally by the nose, by instinct, with no recipe at hand, I had to fiddle and play with what she wrote down for me, try it again and again until I had reached perfection. Until my husband, a smile playing on his lips, sighed, "now THAT is a Far!"

This is an ideal recipe for winter or when cherries are not in season (or are too pricey) when you still crave this sweetest of fruits. I always have a jar or two of sour cherries – griottes – in my pantry for when the cherry craving hits. If you want to make the traditional Far Breton aux Pruneaux with dried prunes and rum, follow the link here).
1 cup drained jarred pitted cherries
3 large eggs
½ tsp vanilla, optional
4 Tbs (60 g) sugar
4 gently rounded (not heaping) Tbs (70 g) flour
Pinch salt (add 2 pinches salt if using unsalted butter for the dish)
2 cups (450 ml, just under ½ litre) whole milk
1 Tbs (15 g) salted butter for the baking dish
Prepare the batter about 2 hours ahead of baking.
Drain the jarred cherries reserving the liquid/juice for another use.
Break the 3 eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk until very well blended. Whisk in the vanilla if using and the sugar. Gradually and carefully add in the flour and salt combined, whisking in a few tablespoons at a time and blending until you obtain a smooth, lump-free paste after each addition. Once all of the flour/salt is blended in and the batter is very smooth, creamy and thick, stir in about a third of the milk to loosen the batter. Stir or whisk in the milk in an additional 2 or 3 additions, being careful not to splatter!
Cover the bowl of batter with a plate and set aside at room temperature to rest for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Put the butter in a glass/Pyrex or terra cotta baking dish measuring approximately 12 x 8 x 1 ½ – inches (30 x 21 x 3 cm) – my second Far was baked in an 8-inch (21-cm) square baking dish – and place in the hot oven until the butter melts. Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and swirl as to spread the butter around the dish. Brush to evenly coat both the bottom and the sides of the dish. Spread the drained cherries evenly over the bottom of the baking dish. Whisk the batter to blend then pour the batter over the fruit.
Place the baking dish in the oven and immediately lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake the Far Breton until just firm, puffed and golden around the edges and bottom, about 30 minutes.
The Far Breton is best eaten warm, dusted with powdered sugar. Once it cools to room temperature or is chilled in the refrigerator, it firms up further and has a slightly denser consistency like that of a good flan, yet still remains creamier than a classic flan.

- Write effective content and organize it like a pro
- Help visitors find information, quickly, intuitively, and efficiently
- Optimize your website for Search Engines
- Track visitor statistics and understand what they mean
Chapter 1: Preview the design tools
In this chapter, you'll learn the ABCs of Office Live Small Business and then go on a whirlwind tour of its site-building tools. Before calling it a day, you'll preview the starter site that Office Live Small Business creates for you to give you a head-start on your project.
Chapter 2: Personalize your site
In this chapter, you'll start using the design tools you previewed in Chapter 1 to personalize your site's headers and footers. You'll customize its name and slogan, and in the bargain put your distinctive stamp on your web site.
Chapter 3: Design your site
In this chapter, you'll decide the look and feel of your site. Which font should you use? What color scheme should you use? How should you lay out the site's navigation? It's quite easy to implement such important decisions with Office Live Small Business's design tools. This chapter will show you how.
Chapter 4: Set Page Options
In this chapter, you'll decide the structure of individual pages on your site. How wide will your web pages be? What kind of background will they have? How do you tweak design elements on your web pages? This chapter deals with these and other such questions.
Chapter 5: Build the core pages
Have you ever seen a web site that doesn't have a home page? I don't think so. No matter what business you are in, your web site will need a few simple pages such as a Home page and a Contact Us page. These pages form the core around which you build the rest of the site. In this chapter, you'll build such a core. By the time you work your way through it, you'll have a four-page web site – content and all. But more significantly, you'll have mastered Office Live Small Business's design tools.
Chapter 6: Build the information pages
In this chapter, you'll build upon the core you built in Chapter 5 and add pages that inform and educate the visitor about your products and services. You'll also learn how to work with text and images in formatting web pages.
Chapter 7: Improve the presentation
Web pages that merely contain text and pictures are rather monotonous. Presentational aids such as tables, maps, slide shows, and hyperlinks help you present information in a more presentable and digestible format. Thankfully, several of these presentational aids are built right into Office Live Small Business's design tools. This chapter shows you how to leverage them.
Chapter 8: Fine-tune the design
In this chapter, you'll continue to refine your web site. You'll learn how to make your site friendlier to visitors by fine-tuning its navigation. You'll learn how to add your logo to your web site in order to emphasize your brand. Finally, you'll learn how to tweak some of the settings you've chosen so far by customizing your web site's style sheet.
Chapter 9: Venture beyond the design tools
Office Live Small Business's built-in design tools make site-building point-and-click easy. But if you know HTML, the language of web pages, you can go where no Office Live Design Tool has gone before. This chapter will help you try your hand at writing your own HTML mark up to tweak you site. Office Live Small Business is an extensible platform: it is possible to install off-the-shelf components to enhance your web site. How to go about is the next skill you'll learn in this chapter. You'll install a custom FAQ component because the built-in FAQ page doesn't work as advertised.
Chapter 10: Optimizing for search engines
In this chapter you'll learn how to get your web site noticed on Google and other search engines. You'll also get some straight talk on Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing that will help you understand how these much (ab)used terms relate to the success of your web site.
Appendix I: Signing up for Office Live Small Business
Appendix II: Creating e-mail accounts
Appendix II: Submitting your web site to search engines
Appendix III: Using Reports - Office Live Small Business's site statistics package
Appendix IV: Backing up and restoring your site
In Detail
Microsoft Office Live Small Business is an internet service that helps small businesses create web sites, and promote and market themselves. And you don't need to buy or install any new software to use it. All you need is a web browser.
Office Live Small Business's WYSIWYG, browser-based tools make developing a web site a breeze. But you can't build good web sites with great tools alone; you also need a basic understanding of web design fundamentals. This book will walk you through Office Live Small Business's fundamentals, and then show you how to use its design tools effectively. While you may not become a professional web designer just by reading this book, you'll certainly be able to build a web site for your small business that will make your competitors envious and your friends jealous.
This book is all you need for getting started and developing your web presence with Microsoft Office Live Small Business. From setting up and running Small Business for the first time to creatively using its tools, this book delivers everything you need to know. Microsoft Office Live Small Business is controlled from the browser, so all you require is an internet connection, and this book, to get rolling.
Over the course of 10 chapters, and five appendices, this book will teach you to create effective content, organize it efficiently, and present it aesthetically. It also covers fine tuning, optimizing your site to be SEO friendly, and how to use the Reports that Office Live offers. This book is not about hard to build web animations or slick rollover effects. It's about providing concise, easy-to-find, and easy-to-understand information about your business on the web. Don't just build a web site - build a brand.

The Aiken Department Public Safety is seeking two suspects who robbed the downtown Aiken branch of TD Bank at about 1:50 p.m. today.
Police responded to what they are calling a "strong arm robbery" and are currently searching for two black males wearing hoodies who fled from the scene, they said.
One suspect was wearing a backpack, and the other was holding a white purse he stole from someone inside the bank, police said. Reports indicate that the suspects ran westbound from the bank, and back toward Park Avenue.
"We're going to get the surveillance video from the bank, as well as surrounding businesses, so we can get those pictures out to the media, and hopefully, someone will recognize them," said Cpt. David Turno, with Aiken Public Safety.
There were no reported injuries or casualties.

California Kiwifruit Growers Vote to Amend Marketing Order
AMS No. 158-13
Gwen Sparks, (202) 260-8210
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6, 2013 Kiwifruit growers in California have voted to amend their federal marketing order program.
During a U.S. Department of Agriculture referendum held Aug. 26, 2013 through Sept. 6, 2013, growers voted in favor of all five amendments recommended by the Kiwifruit Administrative Committee.
The amendments, which received the required approval from two-thirds of producers voting or producers accounting for at least two-thirds of the volume of kiwifruit represented, will authorize the committee to:
* Conduct production and postharvest research to assist or improve the efficient production and postharvest handling of kiwifruit
* Establish marketing research and development programs that promote, assist, or improve the marketing, distribution, and consumption of kiwifruit
* Receive and expend voluntary contributions for kiwifruit market development projects, market research, and production and postharvest research
* Amend procedures to specify that recommendations for production research and market development be approved by eight members of the committee, and
* Clarify provisions regarding the service of alternate members
Notice of the referendum was published in the Aug. 2, 2013, Federal Register. Ballot materials were mailed to all known eligible producers producing kiwifruit between Aug.1, 2012 through July 31, 2013. A final rule implementing the amendments will be published in a future issue of the Federal Register.

If a game is Fun, It's a good game.
Im sorry guys I enjoy aspects of WAR but the the god damn bait and switch Mythic pulls in the game at tier 4 is truly epic.
I dont mind Pve in WAR, the personal quests, PQs, Tok Unlocks and Pve influence are all well done. But why did Mythic have to f**k up a good thing by half assing Crafting and dungeons? Why even have that shit in the game? And having to run Pve dungeons at tier 4 is so messed up I can't put it into words how pure fail it is. It's so bad the person who decided to pull this terrible bait and switch on the playerbase needs to get fired from Mythic and never work in the industry ever again.
WAR is amazing when you first start, your grouping in PQs, ORvR and SC's. The quests are good and the classes are fun. If the game continued like this I swear so many more people would be playing it.
Then mythic Tosses in dungeons......... Why the hell would I want to run dungeon content for my Armor sets so I can participate in City siege?????
And I thought WoWs bait and switch was Epic.
Recently Mythic added in the token system so getting these sets arent as bad anymore but damnit its a grind and a half.
Imo I would delete both crafting and dungeons from the game. Add in more Pvp options like dueling, more SC's, Flesh out Pvp quests, hell even toss in a 6v6 arena option. Get rid of the half assed shit please!!!!!!
I'm just glad Im a casual player and only dedicated 5+ hours a week to the game. If i was hardcore this semi rant would be 10 pages long followed by a ./unsub.
TLDR version? WAR would be epic if mythic dropped the Dungeons and crafting.

So im reading this review, and for the most part, the reviewer nailed the problems, and got the good aspects of the game down. So how in the hell is it a 8.4 or whatever? Honestly over 50-60% of the review is going over most of the real problems the game has, yet it got such a high score?

I'd give WAR a 6 or maybe a 6.5 at best even with the current version.
You call the fact that Tier 4 is the same as tier 2 refreshing but that is exactly what makes it boring. Nothing changes. They might as well have stopped at tier 2 and pushed the game live 6 months earlier and the game would have probably been funner. The RvR zones are un-fleshed out and really need to include PvE areas with quests to do in them to get people out into the zones all the time...not just when there is a zerg to surf. The career mastery system is far to simplistic as is the renown ability system. RvR gear should be gained solely from renown and keep/fort/cities sieges should offer other loot/gear/trophies. The City sieges are just awful(I'll assume you haven't done them but they are). You mention PQ's being a cool part of the game and they are until about tier 3+ where generally no one does them and in Tier 4 where no one does them because the gear is pretty much crap.
You also mention the 2 "new" classes but you forget to mention that ALL of the classes should have been in at launch. You also fail to mention Mythic ignoring major issues to develop new content. Instead of fixing current T4 boringness and the dung heap that is city sieges. They are adding an RvEvR dungeon. Granted the dungeon will take the spotlight off major problems for a little while(two weeks->Month) but it just sidesteps the games major issues. Those "class fix" patches you mention were only needed due to Mythics incompetence and apparent lack of planning.

I'm somewhat in agreement with the previous poster. WAR needs to cut out what doesn't work for this game.
Crafting could go away completely and I don't think anyone would mind. It doesn't even fit within the original genre. Does anyone really think a Choppa is going to be knitting talismans together?! Talismans would be fine as drops and potions would be fine as in-game purchaseable items.
Dungeons are not nearly as enjoyable as they could be. And when they're so big you can't complete them in a weekend gaming session, and then you're locked out from participating with anyone that didn't leave the dungeon at the same point you are, it's much more hassle than it's worth. Maybe if dungeons were the PvE equivelant of PvP and control contributed to Tier control, then maybe it'd be worth the hassle, but the personal locks need to go away.
PvE xp is also borked. You have no problem hitting lvl 11 right at the end of tier 1, but you'll never make lvl 21 at the end of tier 2 without serious grinding, cross-realm questing, or RvR. Tier 3 is even worse. The xp rewards don't scale appropriately between the 4 tiers.
And why can't the prefomance issues be resolved for fortress and city siege? I used to play RFOnline, and they had this working much smoother with far more detailed graphics 5 years ago. If the original concept and intent is massive scale PvP, then why does the engine have so many issues with the very game element it was supposed to have been created for in the first place?
I still greatly enjoy scenario RvR, and with a coordinated, voice-connected team, it's a lot of fun. In-game voice-chat would be a welcome addition, and is painful in it's absence. Public quests are also extremely well done. For those reasons alone, I still enjoy playing and staying a subscriber, but holy cow, I wish Mythic would just focus on what their target player base really wants out of this game and blow us away with how good it could be.

Maybe it got a 8.4 because the good stuff like Orvr, SCs, PQs and ToK heavily out wiegh the bad stuff?
I have a problem with the Dungeon focus of the game at endgame level but other then that I think WAR is rather good.
The stability of the game is improved, I'll actually disagree with the reviewer and say the game is more then bareable.
my two negatives are dungeons and crafting and imo both of those features shouldnt be in the game considering not one god damn person picked WAR up with the intentions of actually using those features lol. Crafting is mostly ignored and dungeons are forced on people.

8.4 is way to high for me considering the text that the reviewer wrote there. The game is more like a steady 7 atm but needs quite abit of work to be considered something "fresh" in the MMO market.
Like often happens in reviews - when one reviewer is playing - some parts of the content isn't played and therefor not reviewed. I will try to point out few of those features and make my own verdict.
PVE content
This aspect of the game was talked about quite alot by the designers in the 2-3 months before the game launched. After that tho - everything has gone very quiet on the PVE fronts. I personally find that kinda sad cause I consider WAR to have all the aspects of creating smashing PVE content - if only they would improve the AI and rethink abilites and pulling mecanics in the game.
I have often said that Mythic is lying on a goldmine when it comes to the game craphical engine. The sad part of it all is... they are not using the stong points of that engine at all. PVE content in the game is UNIQE cause unlike most MMOs out there atm - Mythic engine is creating diffrent looking mobs and enemies. Even if a mob has the same name of another standing next to him he can look wastly diffrent. Diffrent dress - diffrent head - even diffrent weapons. Perfect for PVE content. How much WOW would pay for this now when you look at the same looking mobs in WOTLK as were in lvl 10 content in orginal game. But again - Mythic does not realise this at all. And are certainly not playing to their strength.
The obsession that Mythic has about RVR is costing other aspects of the game alot. PVE is hit the worst and personally I think thats the main reason why WAR has been loosing subs for the past 6 months. Personally I think Mythic needs to take a step back from their game and start to listen to other players than those that play siege combat - cause quite frankly - the RVR content simply is not strong enough - not massive enough and defently not stable enough (and will not be for long time) to be worth doing long term. Why not use the other aspects of the game to create more variety and offer more than just pointless PVP killing ?
Public quests
Public quests are a good concept in many ways. The main problem with PQs in WAR is that they somehow dont add up. And they become repetitive cause they are all build on the same basics. It doesn't matter how many varieties of 3 stage Public quests you create - Its still 3 stages. Its pretty much like RVR sieges. Its always the same. Ok - Tier 4 combat has 2 doors to break down compared to one - but the rest is the same small room with alot of ppl fighting in endless lag and performance issues. Just not worth it in the long term.
I like alot of the ideas behind WAR classes. Balancing issues were obviously a big problem in early days of the game and sadly it seems like the testing from Mythic side is not strong enough yet cause alot of annoying "bugs" have been going on - something that players have been using to exploid content - specially in PVP. And thats probably another reason why ppl give up on the game. Noone wants to be on the end of exploids that are not fixed for weeks and months.
Final verdict.
I consider WAR to be a good game atm. Raiting tho will not go beyond 7 at this point and will probably stay there since Mythic is to focused on fixing RVR content. For me tho.. RVR is not - and will not be the game strong points considering the teqnology that Mythic has available. They can do alot better than spend their entire power on 100 ppl fighting out in lagfested finalbattle siege room. But like with so many other factors of this game. It simply wont happen...

I like the dungeons myself. Im not sure what you guys are talking about you have to do them in order to compete or play rvr?
You get rvr gear from players and gold and massive bags off keeps, fortress and city sieges. I have a full set of annihlator on one tune minus shoulders, 3 pieces of conqueror, 1 invader. I have done sigmar crypts only 3 times could have done it more, but bagged 3 pieces of sentinel. You dont have to go the dungeons. But I find them a nice get away if you are bored of pvp or what not. Its not like we have a ton of dungeons compared to every other MMO out there.
WAR is a really good game, that could be super if they keep on fixing it. They are trying. And to be honest were is someone like me supposed to go to play rvr like WAR? Four areas if the improve WAR will be great.
1. Meaningful pvp, they need to make the end game better, RvR needs to branch out from BO, Keep, Fortress, City... They are some good ideas floating around.
2. LAG>. Big time need to fix this in raids, it has gotten better though.
3. Class balance - They are working on it, I give them that.
4. Crafting, simply put they need more crafting skills. Like to see Jeweler as an option myself.
I dont know why this review suprises anyone, if you look at all the Reviews of WAR on the major game sites, it gets Great Reviews. Players are the ones who give bomb reviews. A game site cant do that an be legit. MMORPG.com couldn't put a review out like players or do or they would be dismissed as immature.

In my opinion I think it deserves a 70 out of 100. I dont think it should be up there with the high ranking games. Its a good game don't get me wront. But I don't think its great.

The game needs some polish, but it has come a long way since launch.
One thing to note in regards to your review. They just added in a token system for the RvR gear, so the gold bags in keeps are not the only way to get the gear now.

The game has definitely come a long way since launch and I gave it another fair try but I gave up for almost the same reason as I gave up at launch, it got boring. The PVP is tedious and repetetive and as has already been pointed out, the game feels the same at T4 as it does at T2.

I play the trial, and i dont get this critic about the graphics, give me a list of games that have better graphics, and show me how outdated WAR is, WoW has hideous graphics but no one seems to notice it here. Show me the graphic standard for games.

"If you can''t laugh at yourself there''s always someone around to show you how it''s done!"
The single issue that ruined the game for me & led to my quitting it was game performance, it was noticebly choppy & stuttery even as a single player doing PvE quests in a barely occupied zone, even though my system wasn't cutting edge it was way above minimum specs (which are wrong imho, dual core cpu & nvidia 8xxx + level gfx card is a requirement).
Any kind of RvR with more than 2 wbs would induce chronic performance problems & in large keep fights (which became a bigger problem than forts after the fort caps were introduced) the servers regularly crashed after having catastrophic lag, framerate, & general performance issues, you could be dead minutes before you realised you were even getting hit.
Considering the game was focus on Large-Scale RvR battles the engine performance is frankly disgusting at doing what it set out to offer.
There is a lot to love in the game but the performance kills that.

It get old really fast having to run around in mobs all the time in order to get anything done in PvP. Let alone trying to get any rewards when constantly competing against 24 to 48 other people for loot. Leveling outside of scenarios for PvP is even more irritating. Also, the fact that more than half the classes are nothing more than fodder for classes like Sorceror / Bright Wizard / Choppa / Slayer / Witch Elves is also a huge negative. There is nothing fun or rewarding about being pure support in a PvP centric game and yet that is exactly what they've done with too many of the classes.

I will withdraw the comment about the hideous WoW graphics, i did play the game long time ago, and now checking some screenshots there are in here, i remember that the art style is cartoonish, and that they look like improved somewhat, but that doesnt make a difference about the judgement on the graphical quality of WAR.

I don't think the reviewer had his game graphic settings turned up. That and he compared WAR to AoC, which is like compairing apples to oranges. Some folks don't understand the difference between "realistic" and "cartoonish" graphics.
BO's and Keeps no longer give out the exp/renown/influence that they once did. This last patch took care of that. You now get more for killing other players than you do for playing RvE (Realm vs. Enviornment) or Keep trading. So over the last week, I've seen a TON more open field RvR.
Either I missed it or the OP/Reviewer fails to talk about LE's (Live Events). This is one of the reasons you have seen a TON more open field RvR recently. The LE forces people from both sides out into the same area's of an RvR lake to complete quests/PQ's in order to gain the influence needed to obtain the LE items. BTW, LE's are one of my favorite things in WAR, just like arcs in DAoC.
You will not find another gaming company out there that listens to it's playerbase as much as Mythic does. They have made great improvements to the game since launch and most of those changes have come from player input. For those of you questioning why Mythic puts out new content when they haven't addressed older problems... you do realize that Mythic has more than one department working on the game dont you? And no, putting more people to work on the same issue is NOT a smart idea. It creates larger problems and makes it even more difficult to troubleshoot issues.
I will admit, I get frustrated at times with WAR, I am a Mythic fanboi, and I am one of the Elder Beta Testers. I've watched all of the changes made from Aug 2007 till now and I although WAR has many issues (Mostly with T4) I still think over the next year we will see it's population go up again.

A quick note on the article.
Just to be clear, the reviewer scores the game. So, that is what he felt.
Also, it was reviewed based on how it is today not how it was at launch. So keep that in mind.

Anyway good read and your score is very very close to the user score on this website that we the members have submitted.

Souza wants a title shot or Vitor Belfort next, 'done' fighting lower-ranked UFC contenders
Gilberto Faria, Souza's manager, recently informed Ariel Helwani on the latest edition of "UFC Tonight:"
"We are done fighting guys behind us in the rankings.... It's time to release the beast!"Contenders ahead of Souza in the rankings (see the latest edition here) include division champion Chris Weidman, former 185-pound kingpin (and fellow friendly Brazilian) Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida and, of course, Vitor Belfort.
Weidman and Machida are already booked to headline UFC 175 this summer, while Silva -- who would reluctantly agree to fight Souza -- isn't expected back in the Octagon until early 2015 because of a broken shin.
Last man standing, therefore, is Belfort.
