After a nearly two-week manhunt, Tennessee murder-kidnap suspect Adam Mayes died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound as a SWAT team closed in on him, allowing authorities to safely recover the two girls he was accused of kidnapping. NBC's Thanh Truong reports.
Updated at 10:00 a.m. ET: Three more people have been arrested in connection with the killing of a Tennessee woman and her daughter and the kidnapping of her two younger daughters, CNN reported Friday morning. The arrests were for making a false statement to authorities and illegal possession of a firearm, a law enforcement source said.
As a SWAT team closed in Thursday evening on Adam Mayes — the man accused of killing Jo Ann Bain and her older daughter, Adrienne, before disappearing for nearly two weeks with her two other children — he shot himself in the head, police said. This allowed authorities to safely recover the kidnapped girls, who were nearby.
Acting on a tip, police had found Mayes, 35, and the girls near New Albany, Miss., according to Guntown Police Chief Michael Hall.
Authorities spotted one of the missing girls — 12-year-old Alexandria Bain — in a densely wooded area behind a church several miles west of Mayes' home, said Aaron T. Ford, special-agent-in-charge of the FBI's Memphis, Tenn., office. Law enforcement agents repeatedly ordered Mayes to come out with his hands up, Ford said at a news conference early Friday. But Mayes refused to raise his hands, pulled a pistol from his waistband and shot himself.
Ford said authorities then moved in and recovered Alexandria and her sister, Kyliyah Bain, 8. The girls appeared to have been in the woods for two or three days and were suffering from exposure, dehydration and poison ivy infection, Ford said.
'I gave them a big hug'
They were taken by authorities to a hospital to be examined, according to WMCTV.com.
Josie Tate, the mother-in-law of now-deceased murder and kidnapping suspect Adam Mayes, talks to TODAY's Savannah Guthrie about the nearly two-week manhunt for Mayes and what may have driven him to kill a woman and a teenager and kidnap two young girls.
When reporters asked a law enforcement official whether Alexandria and Kyliyah had said anything, he replied, "We just tried to love them and feed them."
The two girls were hungry but had a jug of water with them, Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said. "I told them it's going to be OK. I gave them a big hug. ... When I seen these kids, it was a huge relief," Edwards told Reuters.

Jo Ann Bain and her daughters, Adrienne, 14, Kyliyah 8, and Alexandria,12. Bain and her daughters disappeared on April 27. The bodies of Jo Ann Bain and Adrienne Bain were found last week behind the mobile home in northern Mississippi
Mayes was pronounced dead at a hospital, Daniel McMullen, the FBI's special agent in charge of Mississippi, said at a news conference. Mayes had a 9mm gunshot wound that passed from his right temple through the other side of his head, Union County Deputy Coroner Rob Anderson told Reuters.
Mayes was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in the slayings of Jo Ann Bain, 31, and her eldest daughter, Adrienne Bain, 14, whose bodies were found in a shallow grave outside Mayes' mother's home last week.
Mayes' mother told police she had seen him digging there, according to an affidavit filed Wednesday. Mayes was, by his own admission, the last person to see Jo Ann Bain and her three daughters.
Eager to find the two younger girls, the FBI rushed Mayes to its 10 Most Wanted list on Wednesday, hoping the exposure would help locate them. By Thursday evening, a red banner with the word "Deceased" was posted across his mugshot.
FBI adds fugitive in Tennessee killing, kidnap case to 10 most wanted list
Police believe that Mayes, who was at the Bains' home the evening before they disappeared, kidnapped the Bains from their Whiteville, Tenn., home on April 27. Gary Bain, the father, reported his family missing.
Authorities charged Mayes and his wife, Teresa Mayes, on Wednesday with first-degree murder in their deaths. Mayes' mother, Mary France Mayes, was charged earlier with conspiracy to commit especially aggravated kidnapping.
Read the affidavit for Adam Mayes
A police affidavit obtained by WMC states that Teresa watched her husband kill Jo Ann Bain in a garage adjacent to the Bains' home. She told police that Mayes also killed Adrienne Bain at the home, the affidavit says. Police say she admitted to driving a vehicle with the bodies inside it to Alpine, Miss.
FBI most wanted list
In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Josie Tate, Mayes' mother-in-law, said her son believed the two younger girls were his daughters. That belief caused problems in his marriage to Teresa Mayes, her daughter, who is jailed.
Relative says man suspected of kidnapping Tennessee girls thinks they are his
"She was tired of him doting on those two little girls that he claimed were his," Tate told the AP.
A friend of Mayes told Fox News that Mayes had had a heart attack and wore a heart monitor. He would need a heart transplant within a year, the friend said.
The friend told WMC that Mayes was obsessed with the two young Bain girls, believing them to be his daughters. He wanted to custody of them, the friend said.
Authorities refused to comment on the motive for the April 27 slayings and abductions.
"Thank God it's over and the babies are safe," said Teresa Mayes' sister, Bobbi Booth. "That's all that mattered. I'm just glad it turned out the way it did."
Dee Hart, who organized a Tuesday night vigil for the girls in Bolivar, Tenn., said their prayers were answered.
"No words can express our elation," she said by phone. "We know prayers brought those babies home. I can't wait to see them."

Nothing but education and enlightening the minds of the people will help reduce it to is lowest…Read Moreleve l possible. And that goes for all "evils". DWI/DUI is not going away. We have reached what many professionals believe to be an absolute possible bottom we can under enforcement without turning America into a overbearing Nazi type state. The stats will rise and fall closely around the levels they are at now. Make sure you know the real stats and not what you hear on the news or some group that relies on donations or taxes. The stupidity (and I don't mean just stupid people) that DWI / DUI is will be around for a very long time - perhaps even dare I say forever. You need to understand there are and will be always, people who just don't get it - that that behavior is rather high risk and shows complete lack of responsibly for your fellow man. Even relatively good and intelligent people can fall victim to this. One enforcement issue I do take issue with is being able to plead down driving infractions (even DWI/DUI). If you are speeding and should be given 4 points and a $500 fine that should not be turned into 0 points and a $250 parking ticket. If anyone ever recorded the on-goings in Traffic Court in Suffolk and Nassau most people would be incensed. It's a nice place to work because everyone is happy. County getting rich and people getting off light (for the most part). I don't believe a guy who cuts across lanes of traffic dangerously on the LIE should plead down to Jay Walking Summons of $180. Anyway back to you... You live in a world of risk and reward. The problem you are suffering over is not DWI. You must dig deep into your heart and come to terms that. Seek to reduce danger to reasonable levels, but not to the point of crossing over a line that impinges on freedom. We are doing fine in the area of DWI and just need to remain diligent. The kids today who have normal functioning minds for the most part get the message. Go seek out the actual stats for DWI in your area. Even MADD has shifted some of their focus to "underage drinking" and not just DWI at this point as they try to stay relevant. My hat is off to them and the great awareness and lobby job they did on DWI. I will now keep an eye on them as they morph into whatever they are becoming next as they now - as a group - become more about survival of their group then what their group actually was originally about.

It was just a few days ago, Friday, Nov. 12, to be exact, when I heard my first Christmas carol of the season. Every year a Chicago radio station changes its regular programming to 24/7 Christmas music. While scanning the radio in the car I hit the station and the effect was like Pavlov's dog—I heard those jingle bells and my mood immediately notched up a few levels, happy and ready for the season, even if we hadn't yet neared Thanksgiving.
In retail this year, we're seeing a trend of merchants offering Black Friday deals weeks before the hurly-burly of the day after Thanksgiving hits. And some retailers are already decorating their e-commerce sites with ornaments and snowflakes and other holiday fare. Like the Christmas carols on the radio, everything is being moved up the calendar, earlier and earlier.
If you're a merchant, I assume you're more than ready for the holidays and now into seasonal selling. But have you overlooked anything? Perhaps something small, like, say, your mobile site?
In routine cruising around the mobile web, I haven't seen any changes to m-commerce sites like I have to e-commerce sites. Maybe it's a little early yet. But I have to wonder if m-commerce design has been taken into consideration like e-commerce design. Would a holiday theme in any way work well for your products and consequently your m-commerce site or app? If so, do you have one created and ready to go? And if so, how come it's not already up yet?
You must understand that consumers are engaging in m-commerce and will be using their phones this holiday season in a massive way. Smartphones offer users the entire Internet in the palm of their hands. These tremendous devices will become personal shopping assistants, helping consumers compare prices, locate stores, earn rewards points when entering a store thanks to location-based apps, and perform all sorts of tasks.
What can make your mobile site a regular destination this holiday season? An exceptional customer experience, which begins with design. First impressions mean a lot, so wow holiday shoppers with a great look because you'll be catching them right in the middle of their holiday activities, and the more festive you are, the more likely you are to make a favorable impression on shoppers. Perhaps you could even incorporate sound into the design with a snippet of a holiday song. There's a strong link between music and smartphones, after all. Just a thought from someone already having a Christmas carol binge.
If you've been busy trimming the big tree, don't forget about the little one. Mobile is a key player this holiday season, and you want to look sharp. Deck the halls!

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
Everything perfect - magnets to invitations!
Antique Filigree Rectangle Invitations My daughter and I cannot say sing enough praises about "Magnet Street". She tried them out for her 'save-the-date' magnets in Feb. --- easy to design & download photos she wanted to use, FAST delivery & adorable. Then we moved on to her bridal shower invites -- same thing. We LOVED her bridal shower invites & have had many positive remarks from guests. Then she & I designed her wedding invitations on line -- making easy edits over a period of several weeks. Magnet Street shipped us free samples in a very speedy manner for us to review. When we were ready to submit the final order, I made one phone call to verify a couple of small things. Got right thru - talked to a very kind & sharp consultant. Questions answered. I then went back on line, finalized, reviewed & approved our order & submitted. 125 invitations & envelopes & enclosure & RSVP & guest info cards AND 300 darling return labels all showed up at our door yesterday (one week from ordering). I held my breath, opened the box, scrutinized all items --- PERFECTION!! We are SO pleased. We now have a 'wedding program' design in-process on their website -- to be ordered next month. And my daughter is thinking of also ordering her 'shower & wedding thank you notes" (she went with "Antique Filigree" - accents in silver w/ dark gray & purple letters on an ivory background -- just beautiful - and perfect for her theme). Can't say enough good things. Thanks Magnet Street for making this large part of the wedding planning SO easy, lovely & affordable!
Antique Filigree Square Invitations I couldn't be happier! I love my Antique Filigree invitations, petal holders, RSVP postcards, table numbers, enclosure cards and place cards! I was worrying/panicking a bit about the colors being true to how they appeared online and fortunately they matched perfectly! Customer Service was extremely helpful and was very easy to get a hold of for any questions I had. I can't wait to send my invites out!
Beautiful Invitations
Antique Filigree Rectangle Invitations I ordered save-the-date magnets from magnetStreet (which were also awesome!), and when I received them I got a 25% off coupon for my invitations. I picked out the Antique Filigree, and they turned out wonderfully! The design and colors of the invitation turned out exactly the way I wanted them to. And the customer service was great. They sent me a couple samples, as well as a catalog with all of their colors. I had some adjustments to make about the font size and placement, and the customer service was very prompt and helpful in responding to my emails. I would definitely recommend these invitations.

McNeese State Shuts Out Valpo in Series Finale
Related Links
Sunday, February 21, 2010
McNeese State did all of its scoring in the first four innings on Sunday morning, and completed a three-game sweep of Valparaiso with a 12-0 victory at Cowboy Diamond in Lake Charles, La.
Valpo was limited to just three hits, two off of started Jonathan Conrad (1-0) who struck out five in six innings to earn the victory.
The Cowboys struck for three in the first, two of which were unearned and scored on a single by Seth Granger, who had four runs batted in for McNeese State on the day. A two-run homer by Blake Ellender and a solo shot by Lee Orr made it 6-0 hosts after two innings.
McNeese State struck for six more in the fourth to wrap up the scoring, two on a triple by Granger and three on a double by Andy Riche.
Will Robinson (Placentia, Calif./Valencia H.S.) worked just 3.2 innings on the mound for the Crusaders, suffering the loss (0-1), allowing seven hits and nine runs, seven of which were earned. He also walked three but struck out eight.
"Robinson's off-speed stuff was pretty good," head coach Tracy Woodson said. "He just couldn't locate his fastball and that can be deadly with the wind blowing out."
McNeese State (3-0) finished with 11 hits on the afternoon while Valpo just managed four baserunners total for the day.
Valparaiso (0-3) will be off until Friday when the Crusaders begin play at Jacksonville University's Tournament which runs through next weekend. First up is Oklahoma on Friday, with first pitch slated for 11 a.m. CST.

Four New Engines and a Whole Lot More
Hang on to your lug nuts because Ford has unveiled four new powerplants for the 2011 F-150. This is a pretty big deal because it's the most extensive powertrain makeover in the truck's 62-year history. In addition, Ford says that these new engines make the 2011 F-150 up to 20 percent more fuel-efficient than the 2010 F-150. So, say goodbye to the two- and three-valve 4.6L and 5.4L V-8s because they're sailing off into the sunset. Say hello to the new hotness; the 3.7L V-6, 5.0L V-8, 6.2L V-8, and 3.5L EcoBoost V-6. How hot are they? We had a chance to drive all of them in Texas recently, and here's the lowdown.
This is the base engine in the F-150. Ford says it's the latest application of the award-winning Duratec V-6, with upgrades for the light truck application. They tout that it's designed to be the most powerful, capable, and fuel-efficient base V-6 of any truck in its class. This Cleveland-built, four-valve, E85-capable engine is all-aluminum and has six-bolt bearing caps, a forged steel crankshaft, piston cooling jets, die-cast aluminum deep-sump oil pan, tuned composite upper and lower intake manifolds, and twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT). It punches out 302 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque and can to tow up to 6,100 pounds. It's rated at 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway in two-wheel drive configuration (four-wheel drive mpg numbers were not available at press time). We were surprised at the get-up-'n-go of this engine. As a point of reference, during testing on a timing light-equipped 640-foot track (which is 20 feet shy of 1/8-mile), we logged a best run of 9.7 seconds at 64.4 mph. The engine is light years ahead of V-6 and I-6 truck engines we've experienced in the past in terms of refinement and power. It's perfect for those who want good mpg and decent performance.
This all-aluminum, four-valve, dual overhead-cam engine is similar to the 5.0L powering the 2011 Mustang GT, but it has undergone a number of enhancements for light truck service. The camshafts were tuned to improve low-speed torque; the 10.5:1 compression was optimized to reduce knock tendency at lower engine speeds while towing; an oil cooler was added to increase the life of the oil; the fuel injectors are foam-covered to reduce NVH levels; and the exhaust manifolds are cast for improved durability. The Windsor, Ontario, Canada-built engine has Ti-VCT, unique intake camshafts, a forged-steel crankshaft, piston-cooling jets, a composite intake manifold, 8-quart oil capacity, and E85 fuel capability. Compared to the outgoing 5.4L V-8, the engine block is 70 pounds lighter. According to Ford, the engine has a number of best-in-class specs including 360 horsepower, 380 lb-ft of torque, and a 10,000-pound maximum towing capacity. In 4x2 configuration, the 5.0L engine is rated at 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. The engine emits a nice exhaust burble, and it willingly wound through the rpm's. We turned 75.3 mph in 8.8 seconds on the 640-foot track. We speculate that this is the engine that will power the majority of F-150s. Ford says that in models where it doesn't come standard, it'll cost $1,000 to upgrade to the 5.0L from the 3.7L V-6.
This is the largest-displacement engine available in the F-150, and Ford calls it the "premium engine offering." It's a version of the 6.2L base engine in the 2011 Super Duty and 2010 Raptor and it has been proven at the '08 Baja 1000 and the '09 Best In The Desert off-road racing series. This Romeo, Michigan-built, two-valve, single overhead-cam engine utilizes a large bore to allow for larger intake and exhaust valves. It has a shorter stroke to allow for higher engine speed, which translates to increased horsepower. Features include a high-strength deep skirt cast-iron block, aluminum heads, dual spark plugs, cast-iron crankshaft, deep sump stamped-steel oil pan, piston cooling jets, cast exhaust manifolds, six-bolt main bearing caps, cam torque-actuated dual equal variable cam timing, and a tuned, composite, single-plenum intake manifold. If you want bass rumble, this is your engine. The eight-cylinder choir produces a sweet big-bore sound at startup, and that harmony continues throughout the powerband. It produces 411 horsepower, 434 lb-ft of torque, and has an 11,300-pound maximum tow rating. In 4x2 versions, the truck is rated at 12 mpg city and 17 mpg highway. Max torque and horsepower roll on within 1,000 rpm of each other, so this engine produces versatile power whether you're looking for speed or grunt.

Hello. I'm new here and this is my first post.
After unsuccessfuly researching all over the internet for a solution to my problem, I decided to ask here.
I'm trying to install Leopard OSX (ToH RC2) on My Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5515, and I created a specific partition, by following this tutorial (The ultimate OSX on PC guide) but when I get to the part where in the Disk Utility I should select the partition that I created, it just doesen't detect my HD.
I've read all over the place that this may happen because my HD is SATA, but I couldn't find any answer that fixes this problem, so my question is... Is there any way to get passed through this problem? If so, how can I do it?
Here are my Laptop specs:
Fujitsu Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5515 - Pentium Dual Core T2130 1.86 GHz - 15.4" TFT
Processor Intel Pentium Dual Core T2130 / 1.86 GHz ( Dual-Core )
Cache Memory 1 MB - L2 Cache
RAM 1 GB (installed)- DDR2 SDRAM - 667 MHz
Hard Drive 120 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm
Optical Storage DVD±RW (+R double layer) / DVD-RAM - integrated
Display 15.4" TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA )
Graphics Controller SiS Mirage 3+
Networking Network adapter - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g
Previous Operating System Microsoft Windows Vista Business
I hope this might help to find a solution to my problem. Thanks in advance and sorry about my poor english!

Mirror, Mirror On The...Posted by Kevin Sharkey
Anyone who reads my blog on a regular basis and followed my apartment renovation knows that I love to use mirrors to bring in light and to add interest to a space. The proof is in the many places I have installed mirrors throughout the apartment.
A while back, I was in my office looking through a book on Jacques Émile Rhulmann, one of the most celebrated Art Deco interior and furniture designers of the twentieth century. An image in the book really caught my eye and got me thinking about a new project for my apartment. The image shows a indoor pool. The water is so still and reflective that I thought it was actually mirror installed on the floor until I read the photo's caption.
For some time now, I've been trying to think of something interesting that I could do in that space. What about installing mirror there? I contacted Junior, my friend at Narcissus Mirror and Glass, to come down to the apartment and talk about my idea and take some inital measurements. A few questions came up during the visit. Would the mirror reflect into the open space between the cove and ceiling? If so, that wouldn't too be pretty. Was there lighting originally installed in the cove? That's a question I have for my contractor, Bob Tobin of BC Interiors, Ltd. If there is wiring for lighting up there, it would be great to reconnect it to illuminate the ceiling.
In additional to installing mirror in the cove, what other options do I have? We recently launched a new line of specialty paint finishes at The Home Depot. One of the finishes is called Precious Metals and has a beautiful decorative sheen. That could be really beautiful painted in the space . I am also researching some metallic and reflective wallpapers that could also be another great option.
So, what do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts on what you think I should do? Please comment and stay tuned in the coming weeks to see what I decide to do in the space.

PRINCETON, W.Va. -- If you live in West Virginia, you likely already knew the curious fact that "Gilligan" had come to live in these hills, moving here in 1990.
You may even know that Bob Denver, made world famous by his adventures on "Gilligan's Island," had fallen for a West Virginia woman named Dreama and that they'd moved to a house near her old stomping grounds.
But if that's about all you know, read on.
Because the full story of how an iconic actor ended up living out his days in West Virginia is not just a true-love romance, although it certainly is that. It's also the drama of a couple faced with life-shaking decisions after the birth of a profoundly disabled boy.
And it's a tale that unfolds to this day, six years after Denver's death. Through Little Buddy Radio and the Denver Foundation, Dreama Denver devotes her waking life to her husband's legacy not just as a beloved TV character, but as a parent confronting the difficult hand dealt his family.
Kissing Gilligan
One day in 1977, the phone rang with a call that would redirect Dreama Peery's life.
"You should try out for this theater production of 'Play It Again, Sam' in St. Petersburg," a friend told her.
Peery, a Bluefield native who then called Florida home, was a busy professional actress at the time. "I think I will," she said.
She landed the female lead of Linda, who's in a relationship with a character named Allan, so there'd be some kissing during the show's six-week run.
"Who's playing Allan?" she asked the director.
"Bob Denver," replied the director.
"Gilligan?" she said. "I'm going to have to kiss Gilligan?"
Within two years from the time their lips first met onstage, Dreama Peery had become Mrs. Denver.
It must have been some kiss.
Sitting at her Southern West Virginia home in the Mercer County hills, Dreama Denver picks up the tale of how a small-city girl ended up marrying a cultural touchstone known around the globe.
"I came to rehearsal the first day and got there first," she recalled. "They had a marquee on the theater that said: 'Bob Denver starring in 'Play it Again, Sam.' Also starring 'Dreamer Peery.'" Bob walked into rehearsal, going kind of at the top of his lungs: 'What the hell is a Dreamer?'"
She walked up to introduce herself. They shook hands.
"The minute we shook hands it was like, 'Ah, there you are!' It was like we'd been looking for each other forever. I was 26. He was 42, but looked 30," she said.
Their onstage romance in "Play It Again, Sam" soon led offstage.
"We got together and kissed personally, not onstage, at the opening-night party. From that moment on we were pretty much together for the next 28 years. We both knew the moment we saw each other we were meant to be together.
"Corny as it sounds," she added with a smile, "it was true."
They married in Las Vegas, during the filming of one of the several movies spun off from the "Gilligan's Island" TV show, "The Castaways on Gilligan's Island." That was in 1979, yet when asked in interviews in what year he and Dreama were married, Denver would reply '1977,' she said. "Bob always answered '77, since we felt married from the get-go."
Someplace peaceful
Bob Denver was not the first prominent actor with whom Dreama had worked onstage.
"I'd been on the road for about eight years working with all kinds of celebrities," she said. "Sal Mineo. Gale Gordon from 'The Lucy Show.' Robert Horton from 'The Virginians.' Bob Cummings from 'The Bob Cummings Show.' Al Lewis from 'The Munsters.'"
She continued working even as she began to experience her husband's circle of fame. At one point, she even got a small role in one of the "Gilligan" made-for-TV movies. It was a movie with one of the more absurd premises inspired by a show that traded in absurdity: "The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island."
"I was Mrs. Howell's social secretary in 'Globetrotters.' Kind of a cult fave," she recalled of the 1981 production. "Silly movie. But so much fun!"
In 1984, they had a child. It was Dreama's first and would be her only child. Denver already had three children from two previous marriages. They named their newborn son Colin.
"We were living in Santa Barbara [Calif.] when Colin was born," Dreama recalled. "We moved from there to Las Vegas and lived there for about five years."
It soon became apparent that Colin was not passing the usual developmental benchmarks of a growing infant and youth. He was eventually diagnosed as being severely autistic.
He would need full-time care, the doctors said, for the rest of his life.
The couple had little hesitation about who Colin's full-time caregivers would be. Where that care would take place was the question.
"When we knew he had problems and the two of us were going to have to give full-time care for him, we decided we wanted to do it someplace quiet and off the beaten path. Bob suggested West Virginia. I said: 'Really? You would want to live in West Virginia?'"
"Sure," he answered. "Someplace beautiful, someplace peaceful."
All right, then.
She was going home.
"We had a Realtor start looking for a house for us. And we moved here, mainly to take care of Colin."
Is Gilligan home?
The house sits at the end of a curving road up in the Mercer County hills, with a deck overlooking a small pond.
With the couple's move to the state in 1990, both gave up their acting careers, although Denver would continue to do celebrity appearances as Gilligan.
It was difficult for Dreama, who still has the Equity card of a professional actress, to walk away from the stage.
"That was really hard. I mean really, really hard for me to let that go. I liked it more than Bob did. But you do what you have to do."
Word got around that Dreama was back in the area and that she'd brought a certain someone with her.
"I went to some store, and somebody who had known me from the past and that I didn't recognize was like, 'Dreama?!' And I'm like, 'Yeah?' And she goes: 'Oh my god, it's Dreama! She came back and she brought Gilligan with her!'
"So, I'm like, 'Yeah.'"
Then, the gawkers started driving up their road. They were hunting for Gilligan.
"One time, an SUV pulled up in the driveway and it was a family -- kids and parents. So I yelled out, 'Can I help you?' The man got out of the car and said, 'We hoped to be able to meet Gilligan.' He caught me in a good mood. Sometimes it was really invasive to have people coming up here all the time."
She said she could maybe get them an autographed picture.
"He was like, 'OK.' And I say, 'How did you find out that this is where Bob lived?'"
His family was vacationing at nearby Pipestem State Resort, the man said. He'd asked at the front desk whether it was true the "Gilligan" guy lived in the area.

Trail conditions
All trails are open. The area downstream from the trailhead is closed for nesting raptors. It will reopen after fledging. The bathroom has been closed for the winter. Drinking water is available at the trailhead.
Mule deer, white-tailed deer, fox, and coyotes can all be seen wandering through this area. There is a prairie dog colony on the east side of the open space. The prairie dogs are a consistent food source for the raptors including the local bald eagles.
Bird sightings
Great horned owls, red-tailed hawks, and bald eagles are residents of River Bluffs Open Space. Various waterfowl enjoy the habitat of the Poudre River including wood ducks, teal, shovelers, mallards, and mergansers.
Weather conditions can change rapidly. Dress in layers, carry extra clothing, and be prepared for cold and wet weather. The paved trail will be plowed when we receive more than two to four inches of snow.

Vector spaces.
A vector is a mathematical object with both magnitude and direction. This much should be familiar to you all. Consider the Cartesian plane, with coordinates x and y. Then any vector here can be specified by v = ax + by, where a and b are just numbers that tell us the projection of v on the x and y axes respectively.
#2 2007-04-12 03:27:08
Re: Vector spaces.
Polynomials are typically a good way to think of vector spaces. You can add or subtract two polynomials and you end up with a polynomial of the same degree. But if you try to multiply them you will (typically) get a polynomial of greater degree. If you try to divide, you may not end up with a polynomial. Also, you can multiply and divide by scalars.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."

Re: Vector spaces.
Given a field F, you can consider Fn as a dimension-n vector space over F. Then you can certainly multiply your vector-space elements in the obvious way (i.e. multiplying the corresponding co-ordinates). Im not sure what this is going to lead to, though.

Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you wanted to find more vector spaces where multiplication of vectors is allowed.

Re: Vector spaces.
Sorry for the delay in proceeding, folks, I had a slight formatting problem for which I I have found a partial fix - hope you can live with it. But first this;
Now, you may be thinking I've taken leave of my senses - how can we have more that 3 Cartesian coordinates? Ah, wait and see. But first this. You may find the equation a bit daunting, but it's not really. Suppose n = 3. All it says is that there is an object called v whose direction and magnitude can be expressed by adding up all the units (the ) that v projects on the coordinates . Or, if you prefer, v has projection along the th coordinate.
Now it is a definition of Cartesian coordinates that they are to be perpendicular, right? Then, to return to more familiar territory, the x-axis has zero projection of the y-axis, likewise all the other pairs. This suggests that I can write these axes in vector form, so take the x-axis as an example. x = ax + 0y + 0z, this is the definition of perpendicularity (is this a word?) we will use. So, hands up - what's "a"? Yeah, well this alerts us to a problem, which I'll state briefly before quitting for today.
You all said "I know, a = 1" right? But an axis, by definition, extends to infinity, or at least it does if we so choose. So, think on this; an element of a Cartesian coordinate system can be expressed in vector form, but not with any real sense of meaning. The reason is obvious, of course: Cartesian (or any other) coordinates are not "real", in the sense that they are just artificial constructions, they don't really exist, but we have done enough to see a way way around this.
More later, if you want.

Re: Vector spaces.
So, it seems there are no problems your end. Good, where was I? Ah yes, but first this: I said that a vector space comprises the set V of objects v, w together with a scalar field F and is correctly written as V(F). Everybody, but everybody abuses the notation and writes V for the vector space; we shall do this here, OK with you?
We also agreed that, when using Cartesian coordinates (or some abstract n-dimensional extension of them) we require them to be mutually perpendicular. Specifically we want the " projection" of each on each (i ≠ j) to be zero. We'll see what we really mean by this in a minute.
So now, I'm afraid we need a coupla definitions.
The inner product (or scalar product, or dot product) of v, w ∈ V is often written v · w = a (a scalar). So what is meant by v · w? Let's see this, in longhand;
let and . Then .
Now this looks highly scary, right? So let me introduce you to a guy who will be a good friend in what follows, the Kroenecker delta. This is defined as if i = j, otherwise = 0.
So we find that
So, to summarise, . Now can you see why it's sometimes called the scalar product? Any volunteers?
Phew, I'm whacked, typesetting here is such hard work!
Any questions yet?
#8 2007-04-18 05:20:18
Re: Vector spaces.
Just a concern; when you say thatyou are assuming an orthonormal basis in cartesian coordinates (where the metric tensor is just the identity, ). Perhaps you should make this assumption clearer. This is certainly fine in an introduction, as the inner product is given as usually when first introduced (at that stage usually you are not worried about vector spaces which use other inner products). Overall I just feel that the inner product section is a bit shaky. For example, you never tell the reader that even though you substitute it into your formula out of nowhere.
#9 2007-04-18 06:23:11
Re: Vector spaces.
You're right, I am, I was kinda glossing over that at this stage. Maybe it was confusing? You are jumping a little ahead when you equate good ol' v · w with (v,w), but yes, I was getting to that (it's a purely notation convention). But I really don't think, in the present context, you should have both raised and lowered indices on the Kroenecker delta; I don't think thatmakes any sense (but see below).
Ah, well, again you are jumping ahead of me! your notationusually refers to the product of the components of a dual vector with its corresponding vector, as I'm sure you know. I was coming to the dual space, in due course.
Well, I never did claim that equality, both my indices were lowered, which I think is the correct way to express it (I can explain in tensor language if you insist). But, yeah, OK, let's tidy it up, one or the other of us, but if you do want to have a pop (feel free!) make sure we are both using the same notation
#10 2007-04-19 00:06:10
Re: Vector spaces.
So, lemme see if I can make the inner product easier.
So we can think of our vector projecting units on the ith axis. But we can ask the same question of two vectors: what is the "shadow" that, say, v casts on w? Obviously this is at a maximum when v and w are parallel, and at a minimum when they are perpendicular (remember this, it will become important soon enough.
OK, so in the equation I wrote for the inner product what's going on? specifically, why did I switch indices on b, and what happened to the coordinates, the x's?
Well, it makes no sense to ask, in effect, what is v's projection in the x direction on w's projection on the y axis. So we only use like pairs of coordinates and components, in which case we don't need to write down coordinates. In fact it's better if we don't, since we want to emphasize the fact that the inner product is by definition scalar. This what the Kroenecker delta did for us. It is the exact mathematical equivalent of setting all the diagonal entries of a square matrix to 1, and all off-diagonal entries to 0!
On last thing. Zhylliolom wrote the inner product as something a bit like this <v,w>. I prefer (v, w), a symbol reserved in general for an ordered pair. There is a very good reason for this preference of mine, which we will come to in due course. But as always, I've rambled on too long!

The New How [Paperback]by Nilofer Merchant
What people are saying about The New How "How are you going to get rid of your Air Sandwich if you don't even know what it is? Provocative and practical at the same time."--Seth Godin, author of Linchpin" The New How is informative and provides exciting insights because the suggestions are practical and doable. Merchant gets the new reality--leadership fails not so much from flawed strategy as it does from failed processes of engagement from those responsible for implementing the strategy. In high-performing organizations, everyone acts like a leader, and they own the strategy and take actions to ensure its success. If you care about making a difference, read this book."--Barry Posner, author of The Leadership Challenge"Collaboration is a powerful, competitive weapon: this book shows you how to use it to win markets."--Mark Interrante, VP Content Products, Yahoo, Inc."In a world in which the pace of change is ever quickening, collaboration, not control, is the route to a successful organization. This book tells you how to make your organization collaborative. And Nilofer Merchant's writing is a model of clarity."--Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less"Want to transform your organization into a collaborative enterprise? Nilofer Merchant provides insightful and practical strategies in The New How."--Padmasree Warrior, CTO, Cisco Systems, Inc."Merchant's book is a practical guide for the journey from strategy to implementation. The collaborative tools described here can help companies reach strategic success--and avoid pitfalls along the way."--Tom Kelley, General Manager, IDEO, and author of Ten Faces of InnovationOnce in a generation, a book comes along that transforms the business landscape. For today's business leaders, The New How redefines the way companies create strategies and win new markets.Management gurus have always said "people matter." But those same gurus still relegate strategy to an elite set of executives who focus on frameworks, long presentations, and hierarchical approaches. Business strategy typically has been planned by corporate chiefs in annual meetings, and then dictated to managers to carry out. The New How turns that notion on its head. After many years of working with Apple, Adobe, HP, and many other companies, Nilofer Merchant discovered the secret sauce: the best way to create a winning strategy is to include employees at all levels, helping to create strategy they not only believe in, but are also equipped to implement.In The New How, Nilofer shows today's corporate directors, executives, and managers how they can transform their traditional, top-down approach to strategy planning and execution into collaborative "stratecution" that has proven to be significantly more effective. Enhance performance and outcomes by deflating the "air sandwich" between executives in the boardroom and employees Recognize that strategy and execution are thoroughly intertwined Understand how successful strategy is founded in effective idea selection-a pile of good ideas doesn't necessarily build good strategy Create company strategy and link it to targeted execution, using the practical models and techniques provided
NYC Basic Tips and Etiquetteby Nathan W. Pyle
Living in New York City for five years as a transplant from Ohio, illustrator and T-shirt designer Nathan Pyle was fascinated by the unique habits and unspoken customs New Yorkers follow to make life bearable in a city with 8 million people (and seemingly twice the number of tourists). Nathan decided to draw his favorite tips and etiquette lessons and post them on the internet, where his 12 original panels went viral immediately and became the basis for this hilarious illustrated book (check out the fully animated ebook, too!).In NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette, Pyle reveals the secrets and unwritten rules for living in and visiting New York including the answers to such burning questions as, which cabs should I try to hail? What is a bodega? Which way is Uptown? Why are there so many doors in the sidewalk? How do I walk on an escalator? Do we need to be touching right now? Where should I inhale or exhale while passing sidewalk garbage? How long should I honk my horn? If New York were a game show, how would I win? What happens when I stand in the bike lane? Who should get the empty subway seats? How do I stay safe during a trash tornado? Each tip is a little story illustrated in simple black and white drawings.Visitors and newcomers to New York will love it because the advice is smart, funny, and not condescending. New Yorkers will love it for its strategic and humorous approach to mastering the daily chaos of the city.
A Nun on the Busby Sister Sister Simone Campbell
In the summer of 2012, Sister Simone Campbell and a group of fellow Roman Catholic nuns toured parts of the country to rally support against Congressman Paul Ryan's budget, a plan that cut vital social programs for the hurting poor and the struggling middle class. Prayer groups turned into rallies, and small town meetings became national media events. Sister Simone became a galvanizing force for progressives of all stripes and remains a driving force for programs and policies that support faith, family, and fairness. Rooted in a deep spirituality of compassion and service, Sister Simone gives voice to the hunger, isolation, and fear that so many people in America are feeling right now and shows us how we can create real transformation in our communities and in our own hearts through the contemplative life of prayer. Powerful, inspiring stories from the Nuns on the Bus tour and from Sister Simone's own life offer readers a fresh vision for a lived spirituality that is at the heart of today's progressive Christian movements working for change.
Good to Goby Randall Fuerst Harold Constance
"Fractions of a second in time. What amazing violence can be meted out in the blink of an eye."In the mid-nineteen sixties, Harry Constance made a life-altering journey that led him out of Texas and into the jungles of Vietnam. As a young naval officer, he went from UDT training to the U.S. Navy's newly formed SEAL Team Two, and then straight into furious action. By 1970, he was already the veteran of three hundred combat missions and the recipient of thirty-two military citations, including three Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart.Good To Go is Constance's powerful, firsthand account of his three tours of duty as a member of America's most elite, razor-sharp stealth fighting force. It is a breathtaking memoir of harrowing missions and covert special-ops--from the floodplains of the Mekong Delta to the beaches of the South China Sea--that places the reader in the center of bloody ambushes and devastating firefights. But his extraordinary adventure goes even farther--beyond 'Nam--as we accompany Constance and the SEALs on astonishing missions to some of the world's most dangerous hot-spots . . . and experience close-up the courage, dedication, and unparalleled skill that made the U.S. Navy SEALs legendary.Includes 8 Pages of SEAL Team Action Photos!
Chez Panisse Vegetablesby Alice L. Waters
For twenty-five years, Alice Waters and her friends at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California have dedicated themselves to the ideal of serving the finest, freshest foods with simplicity and style. From tender baby asparagus in early spring, to the colorful spectrum of peppers at the height of summer; crisp, leafy chicories in autumn, to sweet butternut squash in the dark of winter, much of the inspiration about what to put on the menu comes from the high quality produce Waters and her chefs seek out year-round.Using the treasures from the earth, Chez Panisse Vegetables offers endless possibilities for any occasion. Try Grilled Radicchio Risotto with Balsamic Vinegar at your next dinner party, or Pizza with Red and Yellow Peppers for a summer evening at home. Why not forgo green-leaf lettuce, and opt for Artichoke and Grapefruit Salad drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil? Or serve Corn Cakes with fresh berries for breakfast instead of cereal?Throughout Vegetables, Waters shares her energy and enthusiasm for what she describes as "living foods." When she first began in the restaurant business, the selection of good-quality vegetables was so limited that she found herself searching out farmers with whom she might do business. Luckily, today's explosion of markets and organic farms across the country ensures that any home cook can find freshly harvested produce to put on the table. And with the increased popularity of home gardening, more and more people are taking their vegetables straight from the earth and into the kitchen.Cooks, gardeners, vegetarians and everyone who appreciates good food will find Chez Panisse Vegetables to be not only a cookbook, but a valuable resource for selecting and serving fine produce. From popular vegetables like corn, tomatoes and carrots, to more unusual selections like chard, amaranth greens and sorrel, Vegetables offers detailed information about the seasonal availability, proper look, flavor and preparation of each selection. Arranged alphabetically by vegetable, and filled with colorful linocut images, Chez Panisse Vegetables makes it easy for a cook to find a tempting recipe for whatever he or she has brought home from the market.
Chez Panisse Cafe Cookbookby Alice L. Waters
We hung the walls with old French movie posters advertising the films of Marcel Pagnol, films that had already provided us with both a name and an ideal: to create a community of friends, lovers, and relatives that span generations and is in tune with the seasons, the land, and human appetites. So writes Alice Waters of the opening of Berkeley's Chez Panisse Café on April Fool's Day, 1980. Located above the more formal Chez Panisse Restaurant, the Café is a bustling neighborhood bistro where guests needn't reserve far in advance and can choose from the ever-changing à la carte menu. It's the place where Alice Waters's inventive chefs cook in a more impromptu and earthy vein, drawing on the healthful, low-tech traditions of the cuisines of such Mediterranean regions as Catalonia, Campania, and Provence, while improvising and experimenting with the best products of Chez Panisse's own regional network of small farms and producers.In the Chez Panisse Café Cookbook, the follow-up to the award-winning Chez Panisse Vegetables, Alice Waters and her team of talented cooks offer more than 140 of the café's best-recipes--some that have been on the menu since the day café opened and others freshly reinvented with the honesty and ingenuity that have made Chez Panisse so famous. In addition to irresistible recipes, the Chez Panisse Café Cookbook is filled with chapter-opening essays on the relationships Alice has cultivated with the farmers, foragers and purveyors--most of them within an hour's drive of Berkeley--who make it possible for Chez Panisse to boast that nearly all food is locally grown, certifiably organic, and sustainably grown and harvested.Alice encourages her chefs and cookbook readers alike to decide what to cook only after visiting the farmer's market or produce stand. Then we can all fully appreciate the advantages of eating according to season--fresh spring lamb in late March, ripe tomato salads in late summer, Comice pear crisps in autumn.This book begins with a chapter of inspired vegetable recipes, from a vivid salad of avocados and beets to elegant Morel Mushroom Toasts to straightforward side dishes of Spicy Broccoli Raab and Garlicky Kale. The Chapter on eggs and cheese includes two of the café's most famous dishes, a garden lettuce salad with baked goat cheese and the Crostata di Perrella, the café's version of a calzone. Later chapters focus on fish and shellfish, beef, pork, lamb, and poultry, each offering its share of delightful dishes. You'll find recipes for curing your own pancetta, for simple grills and succulent braises, and for the definitive simple roast chicken--as well as sumptuous truffed chicken breasts. Finally the pastry cooks of Chez Panisse serve forth a chapter of uncomplicated sweets, including Apricot Bread Pudding, Chocolate Almond Cookies, and Wood Oven-baked Figs with Raspberries.Gorgeously designed and illustrated throughout with colored block prints by David Lance Goines, who has eaten at the café since the day it opened, Chez Panisse Café Cookbook is destined to become an indispensable classic. Fans of Alice Waters's restaurant and café will be thrilled to discover the recipes that keep them coming back for more. Loyal readers of her earlier cookbooks will delight in this latest collection of time-tested, deceptively simple recipes. And anyone who loves pure, vibrant, delicious fare made from the finest ingredients will be honored to add these new recipes to his or her repertoire.

Benghazi: The Definitive Reportby Jack Murphy Brandon Webb the Editors of SOFREP.com
Written by the team of former Special Operations warriors who run SOFREP. com, here is the definitive account of what happened before, during, and after the deadly Benghazi attack. On September 12th, 2012, Brandon Webb learned Glen Doherty, one of his closest friends and his former Navy SEAL teammate, was killed alongside Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and two other Americans when the U. S. State Department and CIA headquarters in Benghazi, Libya, were sieged in a shocking terrorist attack. For the next four months, Webb and his team at SOFREP. com, the world's premier Special Ops website, embarked on a relentless investigation to understand exactly what happened to their countrymen, as well as the roles played by the Obama administration, State Department, and CIA. Drawing on unmatched sources, they spoke to individuals who would talk to no one else, including fellow Special Operations team members familiar with the African theatre, and to well-placed contacts in the Washington intelligence community. This is their report--an unforgettably gripping minute-by-minute narrative of the events and their aftermath as they really unfolded on that terrible day in Libya.

Chasing Literacyby Daniel Keller
Arguing that composition should renew its interest in reading pedagogy and research, Chasing Literacy offers writing instructors and literacy scholars a framework for understanding and responding to the challenges posed by the proliferation of interactive and multimodal communication technologies in the twenty-first century.Employing case-study research of student reading practices, Keller explores reading-writing connections in new media contexts. He identifies a culture of acceleration--a gathering of social, educational, economic, and technological forces that reinforce the values of speed, efficiency, and change--and challenges educators to balance new "faster" literacies with traditional "slower" literacies. In addition, Keller details four significant features of contemporary literacy that emerged from his research: accumulation and curricular choices; literacy perceptions; speeds of rhetoric; and speeds of reading. Chasing Literacy outlines a new reading pedagogy that will help students gain versatile, dexterous approaches to both reading and writing and makes a significant contribution to this emerging area of interest in composition theory and practice.
Aztec Philosophyby James Maffie
In Aztec Philosophy, James Maffie reveals a highly sophisticated and systematic Aztec philosophy worthy of consideration alongside European philosophies of their time. Bringing together the fields of comparative world philosophy and Mesoamerican studies, Maffie excavates the distinctly philosophical aspects of Aztec thought.Aztec Philosophy focuses on the ways Aztec metaphysics--the Aztecs' understanding of the nature, structure and constitution of reality--underpinned Aztec thinking about wisdom, ethics, politics, and aesthetics, and served as a backdrop for Aztec religious practices as well as everyday activities such as weaving, farming, and warfare. Aztec metaphysicians conceived reality and cosmos as a grand, ongoing process of weaving--theirs was a world in motion. Drawing upon linguistic, ethnohistorical, archaeological, historical, and contemporary ethnographic evidence, Maffie argues that Aztec metaphysics maintained a processive, transformational, and non-hierarchical view of reality, time, and existence along with a pantheistic theology. Aztec Philosophy will be of great interest to Mesoamericanists, philosophers, religionists, folklorists, and Latin Americanists as well as students of indigenous philosophy, religion, and art in the Americas.
My Depressionby Elizabeth Swados
This intimate journey through long-term depression is by turns tender, funny, poignant, and uplifting. Swado's charming words and frenzied drawings bring home the experience of severe depression, from the black cloud forming on the horizon to feelings of self-loathing and loss of self-confidence; from contemplating suicide, which Swados describes as wandering off into the Sahara desert (discounting the buzzards and the scorpions), to actively seeking out methods for fighting depression--including psychics, diet, and repression therapy--to experimenting with antidepressants that make you snippy, sleepy, or judgmental. My Depression is an engaging and heartening memoir of an illness that has been stigmatized for too long and on how it is possible to survive, one little challenge at a time, with medication and the occasional tasty, messy slice of pizza; with dancing to a boombox on the street and thanking the mailman for the newest catalogue, then proceeding to read it cover to cover! From the Hardcover edition.

As home sales begin a slow recovery and potential buyers dip their toes back in real estate's still-troubled waters, many of them face a huge barrier to entry: Negative equity, that is, borrowers who owe more on their mortgages than their homes are currently worth.
One point 1 million, or 22.8 percent, of all residential properties with a mortgage were in negative equity at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011, according to a new report from CoreLogic.
This is up from 10.7 million properties, 22.1 percent, in the previous quarter. Worse yet, another 2.5 million borrowers have less than five percent equity, referred to as near-negative equity, in the fourth quarter.
Combine negative equity and near-negative equity, and about one third of all borrowers cannot sell their homes without either putting up some cash to pay off the mortgage or the closing costs or without the bank agreeing to a short sale. That's when the home is sold for less than the value of the mortgage.
The prime culprit in rising negative equity is falling home prices, and home prices are falling because distressed property sales are rising. Sales of properties in some stage of foreclosuremade up a full 24 percent of all home sales in Q4, up from 20 percent in Q3, according to RealtyTrac.
While negative equity is most prevalent in the sand states, like Nevada, where 61 percent of all borrowers are underwater and Florida, where 44 percent are, it is rising in other states, like Georgia, which is also seeing rising foreclosures. "The top five states combined have an average negative equity share of 44.3 percent, while the remaining states have a combined average negative equity share of 15.3 percent," according to CoreLogic.
A new government refinance program allows borrowers with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans to get lower rates no matter how underwater they are, but a proposal by President Obama to do the same thing for borrowers with non-GSE loans, through the FHA, needs congressional approval, and isn't getting much support there.
As previously noted, home sales are rising, but largely on the backs of investors buying distressed, low-end properties. With one third of borrowers stuck in their underwater homes, there is unlikely to be much movement at all this spring in the move-up market.

"He turned on the match and it just exploded." That's how students described the scene at Eastern High School in Voorhees Monday afternoon after a flash fire broke out in a school science lab.
Six students and a teacher were sent to the hospital. "A fireball and I can't explain how it happened because I didn't attend the interview with the teacher," said Police Chief Louis Bordi. "He was shooting water bottles, what he does is he fills them with alcohol and then he lights them," said student Alex Neumann, who took the same class last year. Fire and rescue crews arrived on scene to find students and teachers injured during a science experiment gone wrong. Students at the school had just finished a fire drill when a second alarm went off. "People didn't think it was true that a kid caught on fire, but when we saw him getting taken out on a stretcher, we obviously knew it was true," Neumann said. "Minor damage, with the janitorial staff being able to clean it up, and the classroom being used tomorrow," explained Chief Bordi. One student, a junior was raced to Cooper University Hospital's Trauma Center in Camden. "More serious than the others," Bordi said. "The medical personnel thought the injuries were more severe and should have extra attention." "The kid sitting closest to the desk caught on fire. I heard he had to stop, drop and roll. A lot of kids backpacks caught on fire," another student said. Fire investigators arrived at the school to determine the cause as classes and outdoor activities went on.
Students expressed concern for their classmates. "Actually I know the kid, so it's very upsetting , the kid is a very relaxed kid, he looked fine when he came out, but I hope he gets better," Neumann said. "You don't really expect anything like that to happen and now you realize you have to pay attention and be aware and careful," another student added.

It's apple season and Long Grove is ready for its 21st annual Apple Fest Weekend, Sept. 27-29.
In the 35 years or more that the original Apple Haus operated in Long Grove, apple cider doughnuts became synonymous with the village.
"People always think of apple cider doughnuts when they think of Long Grove," said Tiffany Schuler, owner of Sweet Whimsy Pastry Shop in Long Grove. "People are always looking for them, so I decided to carry on the tradition."
She has. Schuler's apple cider doughnuts will star during the fest. "They'll be coming out warm, all day," she promises.
Schuler even makes a Cider Doughnut Sundae by topping them with homemade caramel sauce, whipped cream, and gelato in burnt caramel and various apple flavors made by Angelo Gelato Italiano in Bensenville.
Schuler has other apple treats planned for the weekend, too. They will include apple-shaped sugar cookies and cake pops, apple oatmeal bars, cinnamon swirl apple-pecan pound cake, mini apple pies, cinnamon-apple scones, apple cranberry tostadas, apple fritters, oatmeal cookie sandwiches stuffed with a buttercream and apple pie filling mix and, of course, hot apple cider. A unique twist will be green apple macaroons and apple pie macaroons, which are the sweeter, less tart of the two.
"We're doing it big," she said. "We'll be up to our eyeballs in apples."
And apples don't fall far from the tree: Schuler will use her grandmother's recipe to make apple pie bars. "I use a lot of her recipes," she said. Sweet Whimsy is a family operation. Her dad, Keith Schuler, will spent most of his time at the fest peeling apples again this year.
Schuler prefers to bake with green Granny Smiths. "They are nice and tart and don't fall apart when you bake them," she says.
Just about any ripe apple will work well on top of the Carmelized Apple Bacon Burgers at The Village Tavern during the fest. A thick slice of carmelized apple tops the burger patty like an onion slice. It is accented with Swiss cheese, a milder tasting cheese that doesn't overpower the apple. Stronger-tasting cheddar cheese will top Apple Wood-Smoked Bacon Burger during the fest.
"We've been experimenting this week with different cheeses," said The Village Tavern owner Mary Ann Ullrich, a Long Grove resident.
Apple enthusiasts will be experimenting at The Olive Tap, where owner Rick Petrocelly, also a Long Grove resident, will demonstrate uses for apple balsamic vinegars and other items.
Petrocelly likes to poach peeled, cored apples in a mix of apple juice and water in a pot on the stovetop. "I cut them in half so I can flip them over," he said. He splashes the liquid over the fruit while it cooks. The result is a texture similar to apples in an apple pie — but without the crust. Petrocelly then tops it with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream. Gala and Honeycrisp apples both work well for this de-glazing method.
"De-glazing is a great technique, especially if you like apples in apple pie, but are not a big fan of pie crust or don't have a lot of time to make the crust," he said.
At the Long Grove Confectionery Co., look for apple cinnamon doughnuts, brown bag apple pies, caramel apples — and plenty of hot apple cider.

How do real estate commission work? So as to know it, one should learn how real estate agents are being paid as well as how they share commissions. Fundamentally, just about all real estate agents are employed by a real estate broker and all fees ought to pass through the broker. Solely the broker can enter into a listing agreement with a seller as well as pay real estate commission. The fees usually are divided based upon various circumstances. New real estate agents may possibly be given just 40 percent of the fees received by the brokerage and charges just like office costs might be taken off from this amount. The top agents would likely receive a much more lucrative package. broker agreement
