The weekend after the 4th, we went to a cookout at a friend's house in Castle Rock. It started raining that afternoon, heavy pouring rain, that flooded part of the road leading from the interstate to their house. The water looked like it was at least eight inches deep in places from runoff collecting on a street with very poor drainage, but the cars all forged ahead and by the time we got there the rain had slowed to a drizzle.
I was still feeling the spirit of 4th of July, and made these one-bite red, white and blue tartlets. Of course, they could be topped with a cherry instead of a blueberry, too. The shortbread tartlet shells are store-bought and delicious, found on the baking aisle and totally worth it. I think it's just too tedious to try to make little mini tartlets by hand when something this good is available. I filled them with a spoonful of homemade cherry pie filling (from the tart pie cherries we had picked a few weeks before), then topped them with a swirl of lemony cream cheese.
They were a big hit at the party and so easy to make. Few things are more summery than cherry pie, and when you can get them in a little bite, there's no guilt from over indulgence. Unless you eat four or five, that is...
Cherry Pie Tartlets
printable recipe
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups cherry pie filling, preferably homemade, but canned can be used also (click here for my recipe)
- 48 mini shortbread tartlet shells
- 48 cherries with stems (not maraschino cherries) or blueberries (for a red, white and blue theme)
Pour the cream into a bowl. Using a handheld electric mixer, whip the cream until soft-to-firm peaks form. Set bowl in the refrigerator.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese for one minute until smooth. Add the lemon juice and powdered sugar and beat for two minutes until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream; mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape.
Snip the corner off a gallon-sized zip lock bag (or use a pastry piping bag), and fit a star tip into the corner. Scoop cream cheese mixture into the bag. Set aside.
Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cherry pie filling into the tartlet shells. Pipe the cream cheese mixture onto the filling. Top each with a cherry or blueberry. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Yields 48 tartlets.

I was taking a look back through Style.com's Fall 2010 Accessory Report just to see if the predictions are as valuable as I thought–and guess what? Candy Pratts Price was right on the money with her choices. We've been featuring snakeskin bags all week on Portero.com, so her "Exotic Skins" category is really continuing to hit home for me.
While exotics like python, lizard or crocodile might not be easy on the wallet, they are extremely durable and will last a lifetime if properly cared for. Basically, these materials need to stay nourished in order to prevent drying, cracking or splitting. Here are some general rules of thumb:
-Never use household chemicals or alcohol to clean leather skins
-Snakeskin should always be cleaned in the direction of the scales
-Mink oil can be used on matte finishes of alligator/crocodile, but you should avoid the stitching when applying
-Keep out of extreme light, heat and wet conditions
One of my favorites currently for sale is the fabulous vintage Chanel Crocodile shoulder bag shown above. Interested in more exotic skins? Click here to shop.

Augsburg College to launch new website this week
This Friday, October 26, Augsburg College will launch its new Augsburg.edu website powered by WordPress, an open-source website content management system that, according to WordPress.org, is used by nearly 17 percent of the world's top 1 million websites, including The New York Times, CNN, and the Library of Congress.
The website project was launched in fall 2011 when Information Technology and Marketing and Communication tested several content management software options and confirmed WordPress as the platform for the new site. Design and prototyping were completed during the spring 2012 term, and content conversion began early this past summer.
The primary goal of the project was to consolidate the web content currently found on www.augsburg.edu—as well as several other website platforms—onto a single system that allows for more direct management of subsite text and images by individual departments and programs. More than 165 subsites were transferred to WordPress as part of this project, and more than 100 staff and faculty across the campus (see list, below) have been trained and actively engaged in updating the content of their portion of Augsburg.edu. These "content managers" will continue to serve as the points of contact for ongoing updates to their sites after Friday's launch.
Barring unforeseen technical issues, the new site is expected to be live before noon on Friday. In the meantime, you can preview the new look of the Augsburg.edu homepage.

'Threatening' charter school withdrawn
Remember that proposed charter school that won a $450,000 federal grant but got repeatedly criticized and deferred by the Charlottesville School system? It was the subject of the Hook's cover story last November 17, and now it's dead in the City, according to a story in this morning's Daily Progress. Veteran educators Bobbi Snow and Sandy Richardson beat out applications from all over the country to win nearly a half a million dollars from the federal Department of Education's Department of Innovation for an arts-infused remedial middle school. And yet a review team of from the Charlottesville School Board blasted the proposal for an alleged lack of "valuable ideas."
After more than a year of waiting for a school system that once called charter schools a "threat" to the district, the backers got tired. This morning's Progress story hints they may take their idea to Albemarle.

Ballooning History
The basic idea behind hot air balloons has been around for a long time. Archemedes, one of the greatest mathematicians in Ancient Greece, figured out the principle of buoyancy more than 2,000 years ago, and may have conceived of flying machines lifted by the force. In the 13th century, the English scientist Roger Bacon and the German philosopher Albertus Magnus both proposed hypothetical flying machines based on the principle.
But nothing really got off the ground until the summer of 1783, when the Montgolfier brothers sent a sheep, a duck and a chicken on an eight-minute flight over France. The two brothers, Joseph and Etienne, worked for their family's prestigious paper company. As a side project, they began experimenting with paper vessels elevated by heated air. Over the course of a couple years, they developed a hot air balloon very similar in design to the ones used today. But instead of using propane, they powered their model by burning straw, manure and other material in an attached fire pit.
The sheep, duck and chicken became the first balloon passengers on Sept. 19, 1783, in the Montgolfiers' first demonstration flight for King Louis XVI. They all survived the trip, giving the King some assurance that human beings could breath the atmosphere at the higher elevation. Two months later, the Marquis Francois d'Arlandes, a major in the infantry, and Pilatre de Rozier, a physics professor, became the first human beings to fly.
Other hot air balloon designs and ambitious flights followed, but by 1800, the hot air balloon had been largely overshadowed by gas balloons. One factor in this popularity decline was the death of Pilatre de Rozier in an attempted flight over the English Channel. The new balloon he built for the flight included a smaller hydrogen balloon in addition to the hot air balloon envelope. The fire ignited the hydrogen early in the flight, and the entire balloon burst into flames.
But the main reason hot air balloons fell out of fashion was that new gas balloon dirigible designs were superior in a number of ways -- chiefly, they had longer flight times and could be steered.
Another popular balloon type was the smoke balloon. These balloons were lifted by a fire on the ground, and did not have any attached heat source. They simply shot up in the air, and then sank back to the ground. Their main use was as an attraction at travelling fairs in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The balloonist would put on a parachute and attach himself to a canvas balloon. Then, several assistants would hold the balloon over a fire pit, getting the air hotter and hotter, and so increasing the upward force. When the force was great enough -- and if the balloon hadn't caught on fire -- the assistants would let go and the balloonist would be launched into the air. When the balloon reached its highest point, the balloonist would detach and parachute to the ground.
Since the 1960s, traditional hot air balloons have enjoyed a renaissance, due in part to a man named Ed Yost and his company, Raven Industries. Yost and his partners founded Raven Industries in 1956 to design and build hot air balloons for the United States Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR). The ONR wanted the balloons for short-range transportation of small loads. Yost and his team took the basic concept of the Montgolfier brothers' balloon and expanded it, adding the propane burner system, new envelope material, a new inflation system and many important safety features.
They also came up with the modern, light-bulb-style envelope shape. Yost first designed large, spherical balloons. These balloons worked well, but had an odd inflation pattern: When the air was heated, the top of the balloon filled up, but the bottom stayed under-inflated. For efficiency, Yost just got rid of the extra fabric at the bottom, developing the familiar "natural" balloon shape we see today.
By the early 1960s, the ONR had lost interest in hot air balloons, so Yost began selling his balloons as sporting equipment. Other companies soon sprang up, as more and more people got involved in ballooning. Over the years, designers have continued to modify hot air balloons, adding new materials and safety features, as well as developing creative envelope shapes. Some manufacturers have also increased basket size and load capacity, building balloons that hold up to 20 passengers!
But the basic design is still Yost's modified version of the Montgolfier brothers' original concept. This remarkable technology has enthralled people all over the world. Balloon tours are a multi-million dollar business, and balloon races and other events continue to attract crowds of spectators and participants. It's even become fashionable (among billionaires) to build high-tech balloons for trips around the world. It really says a lot about hot air balloons that they are still so popular, even in the age of jet planes, helicopters and space shuttles.

JACKSONVILLE � Deployment just got a little bit easier for more than 100 families thanks to Operation Homelink.
JACKSONVILLE � Deployment just got a little bit easier for more than 100 families thanks to Operation Homelink.
The nonprofit group distributed 100 refurbished laptops and webcams, donated by Raytheon Company in Walton, Mass., Saturday morning to Marines, spouses and families of the II Marine Expeditionary Force of Camp Lejeune at the USO of Jacksonville.
�I�m very thankful for this opportunity,� said Cpl. Fatme Tovias.
Tovias will be deploying to Djibouti, Africa this coming December and will be using the laptop to Skype with her two-year-old daughter over her seven-month deployment.
�It�s very important to me to be able to connect with her,� said Tovias. �It will be a bit difficult to not be with her for Christmas, but at least this way I�ll be able to celebrate it with her.�
The ability to keep in touch will help during the deployment, said Jennifer Anderson, the Family Readiness Officer for Tovias�s unit.
�When you have the ability to communicate it shrinks the distance that you are apart,� Anderson said.
Her husband Capt. Will Anderson of 2nd Radio Battalion has been deployed many times and she said she understands the strains that deployment can put on the family during a deployment.
�Being able to talk with one another and see each other gives these families peace of mind and helps ease some of their worries,� Anderson said. �It provides them with a way to feel connected, so that they�re able to be part of holidays and celebrations even though they can�t physically be there.�
Cpl. Jamie Whitehead, who is scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan in July 2013, will also be using his laptop to be able to keep in touch with his wife and two children.
�This is a great opportunity to have a way to connect back to home,� he said.
Marines and sailors already deployed in the field were also going to receive 100 new webbooks, providing communication at both ends for the first time through Operation Homelink.
Additionally 100 new webbooks were donated by Litl, Inc of Boston, Mass. to be distributed to junior-enlisted Marine families stationed aboard Cherry Point air station with a total of 200 military families receiving computers.
�Marines and sailors have told me that the biggest way that we can help them while they�re deployed is to take care of their families,� said Dan Shannon, founder and president of Operation Homelink. �We owe a debt to those who make the ultimate sacrifices for our country.�
Founded in 2003, Operation Homelink was created by Shannon to acknowledge the sacrifice that military men and women make to protect America�s freedoms and provide them with a means of communication with their families while they are deployed.
�I felt an obligation to give back, as I have not served myself,� said Shannon. �We�re here to serve our military and provide a way to help lighten the load.�
Shannon, along with Kyle Klimoski, head of technology and web development for Operation Homelink, distributed the laptops to the Marines and spouses at the event.
This is the fourth time that Operation Homelink has come to donated laptops to the Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point Marines and sailors.
�The most rewarding thing for me at these events, beyond being able to provide the families with the means of communication while they are going through deployments, is being able to meet the Marines and their families,� said Shannon.
At the event, Shannon met a spouse whose husband was already deployed to Afghanistan, who had three children with one on the way.
�She told me that this was especially important to her so that her husband could see the children while he was away. Sometimes the Marine or sailor changes slightly in appearance while they�re away and they might not be recognizable to their younger kids when they come home,� said Shannon. �With the laptops, families will be able to see mom and dad, and remember what they look like.�
Brig. Gen. James W. Lukeman, commanding general of 2nd Marine Division, said he remembered when letters and mail were the only means of communication on deployments.
�This ability to connect is a tremendous thing,� said Lukeman. �Being able to connect to their families and loved ones back home means the world to the deployed Marines and sailors.�
�People think that of the laptops that we�re distributing as free, but they�re not,� said Shannon. �They have already been earned by those serving on the front line and those serving on the home front.�

Craig Wilkins-Door Stops Seating For Transit Riders
At Design Interviews
(Excerpt) Interview with craig wilkins : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. craig wilkins : Door Stops is a collaboration between designers, artists, riders and community residents to fill neglected public spaces, like transit stops and vacant lots, with seating opportunities to make the city a more pleasant place to be. Designed to provide a safer and aesthetically pleasing alternative to that which currently exists, the units are infused with large displays of public art commissioned from local artists, making for an easily identifiable, safe and pleasant waiting area for riders. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. craig wilkins : Bus stops advertise the transit system to the public. A stop that looks dirty or neglected, or whose waiting passengers look hot, cold, wet, confused or vulnerable sends a devastating message: you're lucky you don't have to ride the bus. The use of public transportation is typically read as being without means; that the people, place and service of public transportation are at best, secondary considerations in the economic and environmental operations of the city. We wanted to change that. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. craig wilkins : This project aims to bring the citizen back into a position of prominence in the decision- and place-making process with respect to the city's collective spatial conditions by giving s/he the tools to make desires visible. A very small tool, yes, but one that addresses a number of immediate and long-term, tangible and intangible concerns. It begins small but has the ability to aggregate into a larger, cumulative impact. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. craig wilkins : A couple weeks, actually. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. craig wilkins : As functional architecture, these structures must offer tangible benefits to riders of weather protection, boarding identification and rest area. As pieces of art, they must offer constantly changing public art and opportunities for local artists to ply their trade and talents. Together, they have to provide an opportunity for riders and residents to create a space of their own making; a choice that will ultimately comment on the state of transportation and the quality of the public realm. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. craig wilkins : Our partner artists create the murals, my partner and I do the fabrication and installation. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. craig wilkins : the primary objective of the Center is to work in distressed areas of the city and with organizations and individuals who live and work in these communities. this project allowed us to continue fulfilling our mission. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. craig wilkins : The residents of the City of Detroit, especially those who use the public transit system. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. craig wilkins : The fact that it is almost entirely of salvaged and repurposed materials found in the very spaces where we plan to install the finished products .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. craig wilkins : Door Stops is a play on the term Bus Stops, which is one of the primary locations for seating installation. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. craig wilkins : SketchUP, AutoCAD and good old fashioned trace paper .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. craig wilkins : The fact that it is almost entirely of salvaged and repurposed materials found in the very spaces where we plan to install the finished products .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. craig wilkins : besides my primary design partner Damon Dickerson, our artist collaborators were Erik Howard, Chazz Miller, Jessica Harris, Mollie Decker, Rosa Mariá Zamarrón, Michael Sklenka, Gordon Soderberg, Molly Landis, Dennis Thom, Paul Mungar, Ryon P. Gonzalez, William Wey, Nicole Lapointe, Jessica Rowland, Bree Hietala, Kevin Boyd, Vanessa Cronan, Bradley Bailey and Young Detroit / The Alley Project Collaborative .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. craig wilkins : almost nill. we wanted to create a product that was easily replicable by any interested party in the city without the need to access specialized equipment. the entire project can be produced with commonly -held tools available at any hardware store .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. craig wilkins : observation, conversation, culling of numerous newspaper, journal and articles on the subject, as well as analyzing of numerous local, regional and nation transportation trends, studies, statistics, reports and projections .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. craig wilkins : funding, transportation and installation we.[ End of Excerpt: Read complete interview with craig wilkins on Door Stops Seating For Transit Riders at design-interviews.com ]

The Day Dawn Is Breaking
31243, Hymns, The Day Dawn Is Breaking, no. 52
1. The day dawn is breaking, the world is awaking,
The clouds of night's darkness are fleeing away.
The worldwide commotion, from ocean to ocean,
Now heralds the time of the beautiful day.
Beautiful day of peace and rest,
Bright be thy dawn from east to west.
Hail to thine earliest welcome ray,
Beautiful, bright, millennial day.
2. In many a temple the Saints will assemble
And labor as saviors of dear ones away.
Then happy reunion and sweetest communion
We'll have with our friends in the beautiful day.
3. Still let us be doing, our lessons reviewing,
Which God has revealed for our walk in his way;
And then, wondrous story, the Lord in his glory
Will come in his pow'r in the beautiful day.
4. Then pure and supernal, our friendship eternal,
With Jesus we'll live, and his counsels obey
Until ev'ry nation will join in salvation
And worship the Lord of the beautiful day.

Hong Kong's ".hk" is now the world's most dangerous domain for surfing and searching, according to a report released Wednesday by security company McAfee.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) moved from number 28 in 2007 to the top of the company's "Mapping the Mal Web" survey, edging out its northern neighbour China's ".cn," which placed second. Finland's ".fi" was the safest, followed by Japan's ".jp."
Just over 19 percent of ".hk" contain malware, viruses, have a high rate of spam or feature aggressive pop-up ads, McAfee said, as determined by a survey of 74 top-level domains using its SiteAdvisor software. Over 11 percent of ".cn" sites for China were similarly found to be dangerous. Comparatively, only 0.05 percent ".fi" sites were found to be hazardous.
However, one Hong Kong-based security analyst said the survey did not demonstrate any real risk as emanating from the SAR.
"McAfee are only looking at the top-level domain bit, they are not looking at the location of the server," said Richard Stagg, director and managing consultant at Handshake Networking, a vendor-independent security consultancy. "They're not paying attention to where sites are actually hosted."
The report is also not specific on the degree of "badness" of the sites using the ".hk" domain, Stagg said, as McAfee puts risks such as malware and annoyances like pop-up ads together.
Malware purveyors and spammers choose their top-level domain registrations based in part on where it is difficult to get a domain name shut down, Stagg said. There are "huge, huge numbers of organised crime websites and porn websites are registered with .cn domains, but most of them are not hosted in China," he said.
Purveyors of malware and spam choose top-level domains in part based on how difficult it is to shut those domains down. For example, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation can ask Network Solutions to close a .com domain, hosted in the US, within days, Stagg said, whereas it would have no jurisdiction with foreign domain registrars.

Indonesian Police Shoot Dead Two Islamic Militants
[An Nahar] Indonesian counter-terrorism police
rubbed out
two suspected Islamic
gun-hung tough guys
outside a university mosque on Sulawesi island Friday, linking them to a terror training camp and several police killings.
The men were allegedly part of a network that killed six officers last year in the island's restive Poso district, national police
front man
Boy Rafli Amar said.
The two -- Syamsuddin alias Aswah alias Abu Uswah, 34, and Ahmad Kholil alias Hasan, 35 -- were carrying a handgun and grenades when they were shot at the Hasanuddin University campus in the South Sulawesi capital Makassar.
They had "tried to pull out their gun", Amar told
news hound
"In the process of arresting the men, the police were forced to shoot to immobilize them," he said.
Amar said the men were linked to the country's most wanted terror suspect, Santoso, who police believe leads the
group and set up a paramilitary training camp in the Poso mountains.
The two men had been police targets since November when members of the group were
tossed in the calaboose
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
for throwing a pipe bomb at the South Sulawesi provincial governor while he was giving a speech, Amar said.
Police have said Santoso's group is believed to have trained scores of young
gun-hung tough guys
to assemble rifles and launch guerrilla attacks against
Police have beefed up security in the area since late last year after two
investigating the camp were found dead and buried in a hole with their throats slit, and several small bomb plots were subsequently foiled.

Mohawk haircuts in Bali. Yuppies in Hong Kong. In Bombay, not one but five Rambo rip-offs, complete with music and dancing. And in the new People's Republic of China, a restaurant that serves dishes called "Yes, Sir, Cheese My Baby," "A Legitimate Beef," and "Ike and Tuna Turner." These are some of the images — comical, poignant, and unsettling — that Pico Iyer brings back from the Far East in this brilliant book of travel reportage. A writer for Time, Iyer approaches his subject with a camera-sharp eye, a style that suggests a cross between Paul Theroux and Hunter Thompson, and a willingness to go beyond the obvious conclusions about the hybrid cultures of East and West.

It can also be used to gain experience for solo writers who want to write more realistic sex scenes, by exchanging ideas like sex position.One approach to cybering is a simulation of "real" sex, when participants try to make the experience as close to real life as possible, with participants taking turns writing descriptive, sexually explicit passages.Some online social games like Red Light Center are dedicated to cybersex and other adult behaviors. Cybersex may also be accomplished through the use of avatars in a multiuser software environment. In Tiny MUD variants, particularly MUCKs, the term Tiny Sex (TS) is very common.the increased popularity of webcams has raised the number of online partners using two-way video connections to "expose" themselves to each other online—giving the act of cybersex a more visual aspect.In some contexts cybersex is enhanced by the use of a webcam to transmit real-time video of the partners.Channels used to initiate cybersex are not necessarily exclusively devoted to that subject, and participants in any Internet chat may suddenly receive a message with any possible variation of the text "Wanna cyber? " or a request for "C2C"/"C4C" ("cam to cam" and "cam for cam", respectively).Cybersex, also called computer sex, Internet sex, netsex and, colloquially, cyber or cybering, is a virtual sex encounter in which two or more people connected remotely via computer network send each other sexually explicit messages describing a sexual experience.In one form, this fantasy sex is accomplished by the participants describing their actions and responding to their chat partners in a mostly written form designed to stimulate their own sexual feelings and fantasies.
While it does not involve physical contact, critics claim that the powerful emotions involved can cause marital stress, especially when cybersex culminates in an Internet romance.
The exact definition of cybersex—specifically, whether real-life masturbation must be taking place for the online sex act to count as cybersex—is up for debate.
It is also fairly frequent in online role-playing games, such as MUDs and MMORPGs, though approval of this activity varies greatly from game to game.
Cybersex can occur either within the context of existing or intimate relationships, e.g.
among lovers who are geographically separated, or among individuals who have no prior knowledge of one another and meet in virtual spaces or cyberspaces and may even remain anonymous to one another.
There are a number of popular, commercial webcam websites that allow people to openly masturbate on camera while others watch them.

From Plainfield and Canterbury, west to Chaplin and north to Putnam and Thompson, hundreds of frozen turkeys and truckloads of stuffing mixes, vegetables and other Thanksgiving dinner trimmings made their way to eight northeastern Connecticut food pantries Saturday.
From Plainfield and Canterbury, west to Chaplin and north to Putnam and Thompson, hundreds of frozen turkeys and truckloads of stuffing mixes, vegetables and other Thanksgiving dinner trimmings made their way to eight northeastern Connecticut food pantries Saturday.
The food was collected by state police from the Danielson barracks and officers from the Putnam and Plainfield police departments, as well as corrections officers from the Brooklyn Correctional Center during daylong collection efforts outside several supermarkets.
Their total was boosted was a separate collection effort by Jim Phaiah, creator of Jimmy's Kids Foundation, who ran his program at Davis Park in Danielson. Phaiah also collected several toys and a sum of money for the Tommy Toy Fund.
"I'm really pleased with what we were able to accomplish today," Phaiah said. "I want to thank the people who took the time to stop by to contribute food, toys or money. All of it will be put to good use during the holidays."
Phaiah will be back in Davis Park and the police will be back at the supermarkets — Stop & Shop supermarkets in Dayville and Putnam, Better Val-U supermarkets in Plainfield and Canterbury, Price Chopper in Putnam and ALDI Supermarket in Dayville — today, hoping to match the amounts donated by generous shoppers on Saturday.
In Putnam, where Police Chief Rick Hayes manned the department's pickup truck outside Price Chopper with Officer Donna Brown, shoppers had donated nearly 140 turkeys as the 3:30 p.m. shutdown approached.
"The generosity we've witnessed this year is overwhelming," Hayes said. "Last year, we got 150 turkeys over the entire weekend and we nearly matched that today. I'm setting a goal of 250 turkeys for this year."
Dayville resident Kyle Provencher stopped by the collection site outside the Stop & Shop Supermarket in the Killingly Commons Shopping Center manned by Killingly Resident Trooper Stephen Pickett and Trooper Waylon Kimball.
Provencher said he is a member of the Danielson United Methodist Church, whose membership had been encouraged to help those who are less fortunate during the holidays.
"People who get blessings should give blessings," he said.
Brooklyn Resident Trooper Mark Juhola, who organized the police collection, said he was "overwhelmed" by the generosity of the region's residents.
"We had a truck on tne road all day hauling the food to the eight shelters. The directors of many of the shelters were very thankful because the food we're collecting is going to help them serve all the people who otherwise might not have a healthy Thanksgiving dinner.

2. Everybody grows exactly 4 different varieties
3. Each variety is at least in one garden.
4. Only one variety is in 4 gardens.
5. Only in one garden are all 3 kinds of crops.
6. Only in one garden are all 4 varieties of one kind of crops.
7. Pear is only in the two border gardens.
8. Paul's garden is in the middle with no lily.
9. Aster grower doesn't grow vegetables.
10. Rose growers don't grow parsley.
11. Nuts grower has also gourd and parsley.
12. In the first garden are apples and cherries.
13. Only in two gardens are cherries.
14. Sam has onions and cherries.
15. Luke grows exactly two kinds of fruit.

Who has which garden and what is grown where?
I've done all of the other Einstein puzzles on the website but this one still eludes me as well, bluemist.
I posted an Einstein puzzle that I made a few months back. To my knowledge, only one person here has solved it. It's called "Who has the purple door?"
hi bluemist,
Welcome to the forum.
I'm sure there has been a thread on this puzzle but I cannot find it. I'm reasonably confident I can take you through the steps. Would you like it if we do the puzzle together using my method. I think it will work.
You can start either with a big sheet of paper or (my preference these days) set out the information in a spreadsheet such as Excel.
Post back if you'd like to give it a try.

Hi all,
I solved this puzzle on the 23rd of July this year, but a check of all my posts near that date drew a blank.
I also tried searching using keywords such as "parsley", "onion", "Zick" and "Zick's", but nothing turned up except this thread.
My solution strategy was by process of elimination, using a grid that I drew up in Excel (see image of my starting grid).
As well as the main grid at the bottom, I also created a work area specifically for questions 4, 5 & 6.
Then, by reading, re-reading and re-re-reading the clues, and making eliminations along the way (just by deleting the letter in the applicable cell), I eventually came to the solution. Use of cell-fill colours helped visually.

hi phro,
Thanks. Once you gave me the date I found my own Excel solution.
But bluemist wanted to know how to do it so I am trying to forget I know the answer, so I can go through how to get it from scratch.
Fortunately, my poor memory is an advantage when it comes to this approach.

Hi Stefy,
Yes, I use Excel quite a bit and enjoy it. It has a wide range of application, is very good at doing what it's designed for, and a lot of it is quite user-friendly too...which suits me. Compared to the wealth of knowledge out there in the wider Excel community, though, I'm just poking at it with a stick.
Hi Bob,
If we haven't posted about this puzzle before, I wonder how we came to do it at about the same time? ESP? Twins?
I'll watch this thread with interest (whoever that is) so I can learn from your step-by-step solution with bluemist.

"The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do." - Ted Nelson
Good morning - I've experimented with different ways to set this problem up, but have been pretty stumped. Bluemist - did you ever find the step-by-step solution you asked for? Phrontister - I really liked your Excel grid approach as well. If there are any more hints out there - I'd love to see them!
Hi patdools,
While I solved this puzzle using the 'process of elimination' ("PoE") method I referred to in post #4, I think that Bob may have converted me over to using the 'insightful narrative' ("IN") method I described here.
'PoE' is generally the quicker of the two, but, as Bob said, it takes away some of the thinking. Solving it by the 'IN' method will most likely give you greater satisfaction, and I'd recommend going that way.
In fact, I just finished drawing up an 'IN' worksheet (in Excel) and am looking forward to giving that method a go.
Bed time first, though...
"The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do." - Ted Nelson
Hi patdools,
Well, I solved it with 'IN'. :)
However, the reasoning turned out to be much the same as for 'PoE' because of the puzzle's unusual trick of having multiple varieties per crop. 'IN' seemed to me to be rather difficult to express in concise terms at times, so unless you want to grapple with that issue I'd recommend you use 'PoE'.
I've redone post #4's worksheet and have made it suitable for either strategy. The special work area for clues 4, 5 & 6 that I included in that earlier worksheet isn't necessary, so I've omitted it. Also, not all clues are needed to solve the puzzle: the solution route I take for both strategies doesn't need clues 5, 9 & 10, which I've marked as being superfluous.
The hidebox contains the new worksheet image, and you can choose which strategy to use:
(a) 'IN': ignore the four rows under the row beginning with "Position". Here is a link to an 'IN' info post.
(b) 'PoE': scan the clues (maybe multiple times!) and eliminate false entries from the grid containing the bold capitalised letters. Here is a link to a 'PoE' info post.
(c) Both strategies: enter solutions into the blank grid and your reasoning into the ruled section below the yellow highlighted row.
I enter the reasoning in numbered list form to aid with reviewing and referencing the content...which can also help to troubleshoot a blunder. The yellow highlighted line contains suggested notations for keeping entries concise.
You may prefer to set up your own spreadsheet for the benefits it gives, but a printout (preferably coloured) can be used away from the computer.
Enjoy! :)

Penn State York's THON Committee is partnering with the American Red Cross for a THON Blood Drive from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 30, in the conference center of the Main Classroom Building at Penn State York. The event is open to the public.
The American Red Cross will make a donation to THON for each unit donated. Proceeds go to the campus THON committee's effort to raise money for the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. The Four Diamonds Fund helps children with cancer and their families.
"You can help save lives by donating blood and also help us raise money to find a cure for pediatric cancer," said Kara Smith, a Penn State York THON Committee co-chair.
To schedule an appointment to donate blood, email Kara Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com, call 800-RED CROSS, or visit the American Red Cross website at redcrossblood.org.
This is just one of many events the Penn State York THON Committee will have leading up to the 40th annual Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON), the 46-hour dance marathon, set for Feb. 17 to 19, at the Bryce Jordan Center on Penn State's University Park campus. The theme for this year's THON is "Brighten Every Journey."
THON, a year-round fundraising event benefits The Four Diamonds Fund, Conquering Childhood Cancer, at the Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital in Hershey, Pa. The year culminates in a no sitting, no sleeping, two-day dance marathon. Since 1973 the students of THON have raised more than $78 million and have helped thousands of children and families fight pediatric cancer. Last year the event raised more than $9.59 million and broke its own record. The mission of THON is to conquer pediatric cancer by providing outstanding emotional and financial support to the children, families, researchers, and staff of The Four Diamonds Fund.
During THON weekend, more than 700 dancers and thousands of supporters come together at University Park in the hopes of one day finding a cure for pediatric cancer. Whether standing for 46 hours as a dancer, entertaining the crowd, taking care of the facility, or even sitting in the stands, every person at THON plays a small part in creating an amazing atmosphere of love, compassion, and understanding. This atmosphere inspires the students to fund raise throughout the year and tells the families of The Four Diamonds Fund that they have the care and support they need. This collective effort, involving more than 15,000 students, has become one of Penn State's greatest and most unifying traditions.
There's still time to donate. The best way to be sure your donation is counted in time is to visit the campus or donate online at www.thon.org. Be sure to use the drop-down box and designate your donation for York and your donation will count toward the campus total.
Anyone interested in supporting the dancers from Penn State York can send checks made payable to:
Penn State York Benefiting THON
c/o York Student Government Association
Penn State York
1031 Edgecomb Ave.
York, PA 17403
Checks should note York, Org. 170 in the memo line of the check. Checks sent to the local campus as well as online donations will be credited to the local dancers and then added to the final total at University Park.

As late as 2007, parents were warned against buying their driving-age teens SUVs because of the rollover risk. Now it seems those are some of the safest rides on the road, according to an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study released on Thursday.
The Nissan 350Z sports car and the Titan pickup were on the low end of the list, along with the Chevrolet Aveo and the compact Cobalt sedan.
The group's analysis ran from 2006 to 2009, which covered model years 2005-2008, and indicated an average rate of 48 deaths per million registered vehicles on the road.
By vehicle category, minivans had the lowest death rate at 25 deaths per million. SUVs were next at 28 deaths per million, followed by 52 per million for pickup trucks and 56 per million for cars.
The 350Z had 143 deaths per million over the course of the study. The Audi A6, the Mercedes-Benz E-class and the Toyota Sienna had zero deaths per million in the time period, as did the Ford Edge, the Nissan Armada, the Land Rover Range Rover and the LR3.
Driver death rates dropped from the last analysis in 2007, mostly likely because of the proliferation of electronic driver aids such as stability control, traction control and rollover protection, according to the IIHS. The federal government has mandated that all vehicles need to have stability control by 2012.
The institute's study shows that such systems reduce fatal single-vehicle crash risk by 49 percent and fatal multiple-vehicle crash risk by 20 percent.
Automakers also have changed their tactics when designing tall SUVs. Most companies have made their SUVs less likely to rollover by lowering the chassis. Many now build their utility vehicles on car frames instead of truck architecture.
The statistics are adjusted, according to the IIHS, for other data that affect crash rates such as age, gender and vehicle age.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently beefed up his already impressive real estate portfolio by dropping a staggering $20 million on a Georgian mansion in the Hamptons, reports the Post.
While interior photos of the crib are scarce, Southampton Patch just dug up some aerial views of Bloomberg's new estate and judging by the birds eye view, the residence is just as lavish as its written description. Built in 1910 the historic ivy-coated brick manor boasts 11 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms, a pool, tennis courts, horse-riding stables, and grazing pastures, amongst other first-class amenities. The grand estate is located adjacent to an exclusive golf course, which is only appropriate for the golfing mayor. In fact, the mansion itself was built in 1910 for Charles Blair Macdonald who built the first 18-hole course in the nation.
U.S. & World
In addition to this massive residence, Bloomberg also owns property on the Upper East Side, Bermuda, and Vail, CO.

Whole reason for the change was because the original artist wasn't able to do the CGs for some reason, so they brought on a new one and redid the sprites at the same time to match. I believe that's what happened, anyway - Hel can confirm or correct.
I'm really attached to my avatar in the original art style myself. However, the CGs are really good from what I've seen, so I'm thankful for the options. Sometimes things don't go your way, unfortunately.
Though... I wonder why they decide to change the age of the characters. They're already all over 20 before except for maybe 1 or 2.
Oh, good to see we still have Youko with us. Given the messy state Sierra has been for a while I feared you had left quietly.
Also, hopefully skipping scripting class to write scripts is worthwhile - sometimes you can pick up something important there :D

The blizzard has begun.
Most airlines have canceled flights into Boston, New York and other northeastern United States cities. Trucks are rolling over on freeways. It's begun snowing throughout Manhattan.
And in the parlance of Boston forecasters, bombogenesis is imminent. Look that one up, non-weather nerds. It's a real word.
Let's start with the big picture. Earlier today NASA released a satellite image showing how two low-pressure systems were coming together to form this powerful Nor'easter.
In this image there are two distinct storms, a western frontal system stretching across the United States and a coastal low pressure system.
The two systems can also be seen in the infrared satellite image below, upon which the fronts have been superimposed. Note the frontal system is generally linear and moving east-southeast, while the coastal low is a more of a cyclonic feature, rotating about a point of the Maryland coast.
To see both of these systems in motion, check out this really cool loop of visible satellite images.
What's now happening is that the coastal low is swallowing the frontal system and becoming a still more powerful storm. And it's going to move northward, up the New England coast.
A foot of snow is possible in New York City, and much more — in excess of 2 feet — is likely in Connecticut and Massachusetts. The map below shows the probability of at least 1 foot of snowfall according to the Boston office of the National Weather Service.
As you can see the probability in Boston is 100 percent. Yep, that's a big storm. It's going to be a long, cold night up there.
Be safe, y'all.

Community-Oriented Primary Health Care for Improving Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health
Amira M. Khan, Zohra S. Lassi, and Zulfiqar A. Bhutta
Nearly 80% of the world's population lives in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and these regions bear the greatest burden of maternal, neonatal, and child mortality, with most of the deaths occurring at home. Much of global maternal and child mortality is attributable to easily preventable and treatable conditions. However, the challenge lies in reaching the most vulnerable communities, especially the rural populations, making it imperative that maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) interventions focus on communities in tandem with facility-based strategies. There is widespread consensus that delivering effective primary health care (PHC) interventions through the continuum of care, starting from pregnancy to delivery and then to the newborn, infant, and the young child, is an integral component of health strategies in high-, middle- and low-income settings.
Despite gaps in research, several effective community-based PHC approaches have been proven to impact MNCH positively. Implementation of these strategies is needed at scale in LMICs and in partnership with all stakeholders including the public and private sector. Community-based PHC, operating on the principles of community engagement and community mobilization, is now more critical than ever. Further robust studies are needed to evaluate certain strategies of community-based PHC and their impact on maternal and child health outcomes, such as the use of mobile technology and social franchises. Recognition of community health workers (CHWs) as a formal cadre and the integration of community-based health services within PHC are vital in strengthening efforts to impact maternal, neonatal, and child health outcomes positively. However, despite the importance of community-based PHC for MNCH in LMICs, the existence of a strong health system and skilled workforce is central to achieving positive health outcomes in these regions.
HIV Ed: A Global Perspective
Ralph J. DiClemente and Nihari Patel
At the end of 2016, there were approximately 36.7 million people living with HIV worldwide with 1.6 million people being newly infected. In the same year, 1 million people died from HIV-related causes globally. The vast prevalence of HIV calls for an urgent need to develop and implement prevention programs aimed at reducing risk behaviors. Bronfenbrenner's socio-ecological model provides an organizing framework to discuss HIV prevention interventions implemented at the individual, relational, community, and societal level. Historically, many interventions in the field of public health have targeted the individual level. Individual-level interventions promote behavior change by enhancing HIV knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs and by motivating the adoption of preventative behaviors. Relational-level interventions focus on behavior change by using peers, partners, or family members to encourage HIV-preventative practices. At the community-level, prevention interventions aim to reduce HIV vulnerability by changing HIV-risk behaviors within schools, workplaces, or neighborhoods. Lastly, societal interventions attempt to change policies and laws to enable HIV-preventative practices.
While previous interventions implemented in each of these domains have proven to be effective, a multipronged approach to HIV prevention is needed such that it tackles the complex interplay between the individual and their social and physical environment. Ideally, a multipronged intervention strategy would consist of interventions at different levels that complement each other to synergistically reinforce risk reduction while simultaneously creating an environment that promotes behavior change. Multilevel interventions provide a promising avenue for researchers and program developers to consider all levels of influences on an individual's behavior and design a comprehensive HIV risk-reduction program.

I had the pleasure of trying out some of the So Delicious/Purely Decadent Coconut Milk frozen treats & ice cream. I received some coupons in the mail and set out to choose my treats. 🙂
I selected 4 different frozen treats to sample. I will go through them and share my opinion on each one.
So Delicious Coconut Almond Minis – These were amazing. A++++ Basically it was coconut ice cream on a stick that was coated with chocolate & almonds. Heaven! Dairy free and sweetened with agave. The only con about these treats? Not enough of them in the box! LOL! There are only 4.
Purely Decadent Mocha Almond Fudge– This ice cream is coconut milk based and had a great flavor. Big pieces of almonds throughout and a decent amount of fiber per serving (5 grams). I would definitely purchase this again. Dairy free.
Purely Decadent Coconut Ice Cream- A great coconut flavor ice cream. Perfect for using as a topping for brownies, cakes, pies or cookies. Also good to add fruit to for a boost in nutrition. Creamy texture. Dairy & soy free.
Purely Decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream– This ice cream reminds me of a Reese's Cup! YUM!! Big chunks of peanut butter throughout the chocolate ice cream. Wonderful taste & texture. A great way to finish off your day. Dairy free.
I am also interested in trying the Coconut Milk and the Coconut Milk Yogurt, but was unable to find them in my store (or I was looking the wrong spot).
Great products from Turtle Mountain. A little on the pricey side, but you can get some coupons from their site. Just go to their home page by clicking on the link above and then click on "rewards". You can get to the coupons from there.

Last week a friend of Apollo Blinds asked why we weren't making more of a song and dance about our numerous appearances on TV.
It was a great point well made because we've had more than our fair share of TV exposure already this year.
We've been on Sarah Beeny's new Channel 4 TV series Help! My House is Falling Down – which involved our team in Northampton helping the show. We also supply products for ITV's 60 Minute Makeover which never seems to be off our screens. And we've also run a very successful adverting campaign over the summer showcasing our gorgeous collections on Home TV.
We're now busy making amendments to our website so visitors to www.apollo-blinds.co.uk will be left in no doubt of our TV credentials. We'll be making sure visitors can watch clips of our ads and see for themselves why Apollo Blinds is attracting so much attention.
So keep an eye on our website, not just for more Apollo on TV, but for pictures and details of our new collections which will also be launched very soon.

Miley Cyrus Reveals She Is Retiring From Twerking [VIDEOS]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Miley Cyrus will no longer be the Reigning Queen of Twerk, she revealed in a 2014 MTV VMAs red carpet interview with Lucy Hale and Sway. In fact — she's retiring the raunchy dance move.
"I've 'retwired.' … It's not about twerking, it's about the music," Miley explained about her decision. And that music is Miley's primary focus.
"I'm making some music now with the Flaming Lips… it's more psychedelic, but still in that pop world," she revealed. "… I live to be in the studio — that's my favorite part, just bunkering down and working on the music. This record might take me five years, but I'm just gonna work on it til I'm done."
Miley also opened up about her friend Jesse, the homeless youth who accepted her moonman for Video of the Year. The 'Wrecking Ball' singer, who was still emotional after his speech, revealed how she met Jesse and why it was so important that he accept the award on her behalf.
"I'm still on the verge of like, really crying, so I could still cry talking about it. I met Jesse at this really cool place, it's called My Friend's Place, I just met him, and from the second I saw him I just felt like he had something to say," she explained, her voice wavering. "… I just knew he had something to say, and I just wanted there to be a face to youth homelessness and I felt like he was someone who could be that face. People don't understand that people around us don't all look the same and don't all have the same story and I just wanted him to be able to tell people that, you know? I just feel super honored."
Watch Miley talk about Jesse's speech and youth homelessness in the video below (as well as how you can help her cause!), and see her red carpet reveal about twerking in the video above.

Q:What are probiotics, and should I be taking them? -- Sally G., Boise, Idaho
A:If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the answer is a strong YES. Pregnant moms and their breastfed children have fewer infections and days of diarrhea if Mom is taking probiotics. And almost weekly, new info comes out demonstrating how these friendly bacteria that live in our guts are essential for good health.
What do these beneficial bugs do? (There are trillions of them, outnumbering the cells in our body 10-to-1.) They help prevent colitis-related colon cancer, protect you from food poisoning, strengthen the immune system, ward off allergies and colds, ease eczema, stop diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome, protect against heart attacks, increase longevity and may even decrease depression and other mood-related disorders.
In addition, probiotics aid digestion by breaking down sugars -- called polysaccharides -- and amino acids in proteins. Some of the bacteria even produce vitamins and act as anti-inflammatories, reducing the risk of everything from arthritis to clogged arteries.
So here's what we say about eating probiotic-rich foods and taking supplements:
Healthy gut bacteria -- even if you take supplements and eat yogurt -- depend on your overall diet to supply what they need to thrive. That includes plenty of fiber from veggies, 100 percent whole grains and fruit, and a well-balanced mix of vitamins and other nutrients. Too many of one (like the B vitamin choline) can keep the bugs from doing their good work.
Yogurt and other cultured foods deliver billions of bifidobacterium, streptococcus thermophiles and lactobacillus (particularly acidophilus), but they hardly dent the trillions already there. The bugs you eat do help digestion, but don't change the overall composition of your intestinal bacteria colony; stop eating the yogurt, and the bacteria it delivers go away after about two weeks.
We favor daily supplements that can make it through the stomach acid to your guts. The spore-containing Digestive Advantage (now combined with the company's brand Sustenex, which we also like) contains bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086, and Culturelle has lactobacillus GG, which is activated by stomach acid.
Q:I don't know what to do. My sons, 12 and 14, are putting on weight. I'm a single mom and have a 9-to-5 job. I can't keep them on a leash. How can I get them to eat better and walk away from the computer? -- Amanda K., Charleston, W.V.
A:You have options, and you're not alone. We'll give you some suggestions, but if you need more support, community hospitals from Newark, N.J., to Cleveland and San Diego to Boston are using the family approach to confront the rising tide of childhood obesity.
In Houston, 11 county hospitals are offering a nine-week Childhood Nutrition and Exercise Program that requires parents to get into the act of learning how to eat healthy and exercise. The Cleveland Clinic offers a 12-week course for children and parents that includes a psychologist, dietitian and exercise physiologist. These programs are fun and successful! To emulate these programs at home, we suggest:
Be the psychologist. Talk to your kids about why being overweight is a problem for their health and their future employment opportunities (you can find that info at RealAge.com). Explain how you are in it together, as a family, and what you are going to do about it.
Be the dietician. To prevent unhealthy impulse purchases, before you go to the store, decide about healthy foods that you're going to eat this week. A shopping list helps.
Be the exercise guru. Lead a 10-minute (or more) family walk before breakfast. Plan another activity after school and work: bicycle, play soccer, baseball, basketball, any activity that gets everyone up and moving.
Be the master chef. Preparing meals with your kids gets them interested in eating all sorts of foods. You can find teenager-friendly recipes in our book "YOU: The Owner's Manual For Teens."
Dr. Mehmet Oz is host of "The Dr. Oz Show," and Dr. Mike Roizen is chief medical officer at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute. Submit your health questions at www.doctoroz.com.
