An increasing number of your clients are facing the novel possibility of choosing a lump sum payout from their pensions instead of the traditional annuity option. Recently, General Motors and Ford have made headlines with their pension buyout offers, but this is a trend that is likely here to stay for the wider market. Before choosing whether to remain with the annuity option, which is perceived as a safe bet by many, or opt for the lump sum, there is one thing that every client will need—your advice.
The lump sum option is a once-in-a-lifetime possibility for many clients to customize their retirement income stream, yet it is a decision that few should make on their own. Have you considered how you will advise?
Managing client expectations
Because your clients may not consider all the pros and cons of the buyout option, it is important to manage their expectations. Many will be eager to take the buyout, believing that they can invest in the equity markets and beat the returns offered by their corporate pensions.
This is unlikely. We all know how the stock markets have performed in recent years, and it would be a fluke for a novice investor to realize significant gains through equity investing (of course, if you manage money for your clients, you may have a different opinion.)
Additionally, the sums offered are, in many cases, more money than your client has ever seen at one time. Because your clients have not done the math, many will not fully grasp the reality of what they are receiving—the lump sum offered today will be some portion of the amount that they would receive over a lifetime of pension payments, not the entire amount.
For your clients relying on their pension for living expenses, it is critical that they understand the need to properly manage these funds, rather than using the seemingly large sum to live a more elaborate lifestyle.
So, what should your clients do with that lump sum?
With proper management (and properly managed expectations), the lump sum can provide your clients with a secure lifetime income stream. The primary benefit of choosing the lump sum over the pension annuity payments is flexibility. While an annuity may remain the most secure option for most of your clients, today's annuity options are incredibly varied.
The pension offers a fixed monthly payment for life. In most cases, there is no adjustment for inflation or fluctuating interest rates. Professional management of the lump sum payment can also provide these protections.
For example, multi-year guarantee periods offered with some annuities can ease your clients' worries on locking in an annuity at an interest rate that is too low. A technique called laddering can allow clients to protect against interest rate risks by choosing multiple rates over the annuity guarantee period. Your clients who are eager to participate in the equity markets can do so safely, through uncapped index annuities. This strategy ties the earnings of the annuity to a stock index, such as the S&P 500, or to multiple stock indices for greater protection.
Clients who favor the lump sum option because of the ability to leave a legacy can still purchase an annuity and add a rider providing enhanced death benefits. For those concerned about long-term care expenses, annuities with chronic-care riders are available.
And for clients who are simply not interested in a current annuity option, longevity annuities can provide insurance against outliving their current investments.
While there are positive and negative aspects to any of these annuity choices, unlike the traditional fixed pension benefit, each allows your client to customize a retirement strategy to his unique goals. Every client's individual financial position, life expectancy and personal objectives must be considered in evaluating whether to accept a lump sum offer, and, once the offer is accepted, how to manage the proceeds. One thing is certain; however, those accepting the lump sum buyout will need your professional financial advice.
Your questions and comments are always welcome. Please post them at our blog, AdvisorFYI, or call the Panel of Experts.

| 12.2°C Belfast
New signing Philippe Coutinho marked his Liverpool debut with a goal as an understrength Swansea side, with one eye on a Wembley final next week, were brushed aside 5-0 at Anfield.
The 20-year-old scored the important second moments after the break following Steven Gerrard's first-half penalty.
Jose Enrique, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, also from the spot, finished off the visitors who rarely looked interested in, or capable of, making a contest of it.
Swansea boss Michael Laudrup, with his thoughts on next weekend's Capital One Cup final, did his predecessor a huge favour by naming a weakened side, leaving out 15-goal striker Michu, captain Ashley Williams and Nathan Dyer.
After striker Roland Lamah's hopeful appeals for a handball against Glen Johnson were waved away by referee Howard Webb the match settled into a familiar and all-too-frustrating pattern for the hosts.
England right-back Johnson planted a free header well wide, Gerrard drilled a free-kick into the wall and Suarez fired the rebound over, before the Uruguay international whipped a 25-yard free-kick just over the bar and similarly dispatched a dipping volley.
Sturridge missed the target with a close-range header before Coutinho stabbed the loose ball wide with the goal at his mercy. Webb was unconvinced by Kemy Agustien's unnecessary challenge on Suarez close to the touchline but assistant Mike Mularkey saw it differently and immediately flagged for a penalty.
Gerrard stepped up and succeeded in beating Michel Vorm for Liverpool's first goal. Sturridge had one more chance before the break but having been put through by Suarez his left-footed toe poke was blocked by the head of Kyle Bartley.
Any ideas of a Swans comeback were snuffed out within 16 seconds of the restart as Coutinho skipped through the visitors' defence to beat Vorm. A well-worked goal saw Enrique poke home Sturridge's pass before Suarez went past both Swansea's centre-backs to fire home the fourth.
Sturridge finally got his goal but only courtesy of Gerrard's generosity in relinquishing penalty duties when substitute Wayne Routledge handled. Perhaps the only sour point for Liverpool at the end was finishing with 10 men after third and final substitute Fabio Borini went off with a painful-looking shoulder injury.

Real Salt Lake have New England's number, at least at home.
RSL drubbed the Revs 6-0 last season at Rio Tinto, with all six goals coming in the second half. They nearly matched that score with a 5-0 win on Friday over a New England team that came limping into town with a number of injuries. The five-goal effort is the most by any team in the league this season, and the second-most in Real Salt Lake's history, behind last year's outburst.
On the offensive side of the ball, Real Salt Lake was extremely creative with the goals coming in a variety of fashions: a header off of a free kick, a back heel from a pass in front of the goal, a one-touch shot off of a cross, and two one-on-one plays from their top-line forwards.
And all after a scoreless draw against San Jose last week in which coach Jason Kreis called his team "complacent". Oh what a difference a week makes, as Kreis summarized this game simply: "I don't think you could ask for much more."
"I think a lot of it has to do with the first goal," Kreis said. "It really changes things. From there on a lot of things are unlocked."
That first goal came from striker Fabian Espindola, who picked up a yellow card after an early altercation with Cory Gibbs in front of goal. But he made up for it with a wonderful individual effort in the 27th minute that turned the game around.
"He got frustrated early on in the match, and the confrontations he was having with Cory Gibbs. I was real close to pulling him out to protect him because I've seen him do it before where he picks up a yellow card and then things kind of fall apart," Kreis said. "And then he scores a goal. And from there…he was fantastic."
In fact, all three of RSL's strikers who saw the pitch on Friday were fantastic. Alvaro Saborio had the brace, and his second goal was the prettiest of the night. He received a low square ball played by Javier Morales and then swept it into the net with the back of his right heel.
Returning US national team player Robbie Findley also created several chances off the bench. In the 85th minute he chased down a ball played into space, and carried it into the penalty area. He was able to get an open look, and put it away.
"I've been in a little bit of a slump and so it was good to get it," Findley said.
But the real story here may be the defensive effort. Nick Rimando was able to record his 100th career MLS victory, a feat that only four other MLS 'keepers have accomplished.
In addition, Rimando's clean sheet pushed his shutout streak to 408 minutes, a new franchise record and also the longest in the league this season.
"It feels good. I don't get it if I'm not with a club like this," Rimando said.

C5=GND C6=NC C7=SDA/IO C8=NC Description ® ® The Atmel AT88SC0808C member of the Atmel CryptoMemory family is a high-performance secure memory providing 8-Kbits of user memory with advanced security and cryptographic features built in. The user memory is divided into eight 128-byte zones, each of which may be individually set with different security access rights or effectively combined together to provide space for one to eight data files. 1.1 Smart Card Applications The AT88SC0808C provides high security, low cost, and ease of implementation without the need for a microprocessor operating system. The embedded cryptographic engine provides for dynamic and symmetric mutual authentication between the device and host, as well as performing stream encryption for all data and passwords exchanged between the device and host. Up to four unique key sets may be used for these operations. The AT88SC0808C offers the ability to communicate with virtually any smart card reader using the asynchronous T = 0 protocol (Gemplus Patent) defined in ISO 7816-3. 1.2 Embedded Applications Through dynamic and symmetric mutual authentication, data encryption, and the use of encrypted checksums, the AT88SC0808C provides a secure place for storage of sensitive information within a system. With its tamper detection circuits, this information remains safe even under attack. A 2-wire serial interface running at 1.0MHz is used for fast and efficient communications with up to 15 devices that may be individually addressed. The AT88SC0808C is available in industry standard 8-lead packages with the same familiar pinout as 2-wire Serial EEPROMs. 2 AT88SC0808C [SUMMARY DATASHEET] Atmel-2024MS-CryptoMem-AT88SC0808C-Datasheet-Summary_122013 Figure 1-1. Block Diagram VCC GND SCL/CLK SDA/IO RST Power Management Authentication, Encryption and Certification Unit Synchronous Interface Data Transfer Asynchronous ISO Interface Password Verification Reset Block Answer to Reset 2. Pin Descriptions 2.1 Supply Voltage (VCC) Random Generator EEPROM The VCC input is a 2.7V to 5.5V positive voltage supplied by the host. 2.2 Clock (SCL/CLK) In the asynchronous T = 0 protocol, the SCL/CLK input is used to provide the device with a carrier frequency f. The nominal length of one bit emitted on I/O is defined as an "elementary time unit" (ETU) and is equal to 372/f. When the synchronous protocol is used, the SCL/CLK input is used to positive edge clock data into the device and negative edge clock data out of the device. 2.3 Reset (RST) The AT88SC0808C provides an ISO 7816-3 compliant asynchronous answer to reset sequence. When the reset sequence is activated, the device will output the data programmed into the 64-bit answer-to-reset register. An internal pull-up on the RST input pad allows the device to be used in synchronous mode without bonding RST. The AT88SC0808C does not support the synchronous answer-to-reset sequence 2.4 Serial Data (SDA/IO) The SDA pin is bidirectional for serial data transfer. This pin is open-drain driven and may be wired with any number of other open drain or open collector devices. An external pull-up resistor should be connected between SDA and VCC. The value of this resistor and the system capacitance loading the SDA bus will determine the rise time of SDA. This rise time will determine the maximum frequency during read operations. Low value pull-up resistors will allow higher frequency operations while drawing higher average power. SDA/IO information applies to both asynchronous and synchronous protocols. When the synchronous protocol is used, the SCL/CLK input is used to positive edge clock data into the device and negative edge clock data out of the device.

Data on the SDA pin may change only during SCL low time periods (see Figure 4-3 on page 7). Data changes during SCL high periods will indicate a start or stop condition as defined below. Start Condition: A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a start condition which must precede any other command (see Figure 4-4 on page 7). Stop Condition: A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition. After a read sequence, the stop command will place the EEPROM in a standby power mode (see Figure 4-4 on page 7). Acknowledge: All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from the EEPROM in 8-bit words. The EEPROM sends a zero to acknowledge that it has received each word. This happens during the ninth clock cycle (see Figure 4-5 on page 7). Memory Reset: After an interruption in protocol, power loss or system reset, any 2-wire part can be reset by following these steps: 1. 2. 3.

Device Architecture 5.1 User Zones The EEPROM user memory is divided into eight zones of 1024 bits each. Multiple zones allow for different types of data or files to be stored in different zones. Access to the user zones is allowed only after security requirements have been met. These security requirements are defined by the user during the personalization of the device in the configuration memory. If the same security requirements are selected for multiple zones, then these zones may effectively be accessed as one larger zone. Figure 5-1. User Zones Zone User 0 $0 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $00 – 128 bytes – $78 User 1 $00 - – - – User 6 $78 User 7 $00 – 128 bytes – $78 6. Control Logic Access to the user zones occurs only through the control logic built into the device. This logic is configurable through access registers, key registers and keys programmed into the configuration memory during device personalization. Also implemented in the control logic is a cryptographic engine for performing the various higher-level security functions of the device. 8 AT88SC0808C [SUMMARY DATASHEET] Atmel-2024MS-CryptoMem-AT88SC0808C-Datasheet-Summary_122013 7. Configuration Memory The configuration memory consists of 2048 bits of EEPROM memory used for storing passwords, keys and codes and defining security levels to be used for each user zone. Access rights to the configuration memory are defined in the control logic and may not be altered by the user. Figure 7-1.

Security Fuses There are three fuses on the device that must be blown during the device personalization process. Each fuse locks certain portions of the configuration memory as OTP memory. Fuses are designed for the module manufacturer, card manufacturer and card issuer and should be blown in sequence, although all programming of the device and blowing of the fuses may be performed at one final step. 9. Protocol selection The AT88SC0808C supports two different communication protocols. • Smart Card Applications: The asynchronous T = 0 protocol defined by ISO 7816-3 is used for compatibility with the industry's standard smart card readers • Embedded Applications: A 2-wire serial interface is used for fast and efficient communication with logic or controllers The power-up sequence determines which of the two communication protocols will be used. 9.1 Asynchronous T = 0 Protocol This power-up sequence complies with ISO 7816-3 for a cold reset in smart card applications. • • • • VCC goes high; RST, I/O-SDA and CLK-SCL are low Set I/O-SDA in receive mode Provide a clock signal to CLK-SCL RST goes high after 400 clock cycles The device will respond with a 64-bit ATR code, including historical bytes to indicate the memory density within the CryptoMemory family. Once the asynchronous mode has been selected, it is not possible to switch to the synchronous mode without powering off the device. Figure 9-1.

For embedded applications using CryptoMemory in standard plastic packages, this is the only communication protocol. • • Power-up VCC, RST goes high also After stable VCC, CLK-SCL and I/O-SDA may be driven Figure 9-2.

Standard mode is the default mode for the device after power-up. Authentication mode is activated by a successful authentication sequence. Encryption mode is activated by a successful encryption activation following a successful authentication. Table 10-1.

Security Options 11.1 Anti-tearing In the event of a power loss during a write cycle, the integrity of the device's stored data may be recovered. This function is optional: the host may choose to activate the anti-tearing function, depending on application requirements. When anti-tearing is active, write commands take longer to execute, since more write cycles are required to complete them, and data are limited to eight bytes. Data are written first to a buffer zone in EEPROM instead of the intended destination address, but with the same access conditions. The data are then written in the required location. If this second write cycle is interrupted due to a power loss, the device will automatically recover the data from the system buffer zone at the next power-up. In 2-wire mode, the host is required to perform ACK polling for up to 8mS after write commands when anti-tearing is active. At power-up, the host is required to perform ACK polling, in some cases for up to 2mS, in the event that the device needs to carry out the data recovery process. 11.2 Write Lock If a user zone is configured in the write lock mode, the lowest address byte of an 8-byte page constitutes a write access byte for the bytes of that page. Example: The write lock byte at $080 controls the bytes from $080 to $087 Figure 11-1. Write Lock Example Address $080 $0 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 11011001 xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx locked locked locked The write lock byte may also be locked by writing its least significant (rightmost) bit to "0". Moreover, when write lock mode is activated, the write lock byte can only be programmed — that is, bits written to "0" cannot return to "1". In the write lock configuration, only one byte can be written at a time. Even if several bytes are received, only the first byte will be taken into account by the device. 12 AT88SC0808C [SUMMARY DATASHEET] Atmel-2024MS-CryptoMem-AT88SC0808C-Datasheet-Summary_122013 12. Password Verification Passwords may be used to protect read and/or write access of any user zone. When a valid password is presented, it is memorized and active until power is turned off, unless a new password is presented or RST becomes active. There are eight password sets that may be used to protect any user zone. Only one password is active at a time, but write passwords give read access also.. 12.1 Authentication Protocol The access to a user zone may be protected by an authentication protocol. Any one of four keys may be selected to use with a user zone. The authentication success is memorized and active as long as the chip is powered, unless a new authentication is initialized or RST becomes active. If the new authentication request is not validated, the card loses its previous authentication and it should be presented again. Only the last request is memorized. Note: Password and authentication may be presented at any time and in any order. If the trials limit has been reached (after four consecutive incorrect attempts), the password verification or authentication process will not be taken into account Figure 12-1.

In the standard mode, the checksum is implemented as a Modification Detection Code (MDC), in which the host may read an MDC from the device in order to verify that the data sent was received correctly. In the authentication and encryption modes, the checksum becomes more powerful since it provides a bidirectional data integrity check and data origin authentication capability in the form of a Message Authentication Code (MAC). Only the host/device that carried out a valid authentication is capable of computing a valid MAC. While operating in the authentication or encryption modes, the use of a MAC is required. For an ingoing command, if the device calculates a MAC different from the MAC transmitted by the host, not only is the command abandoned but the mode is also reset. A new authentication and/or encryption activation will be required to reactivate the MAC. 12.3 Encryption The data exchanged between the device and the host during read, write and verify password commands may be encrypted to ensure data confidentiality. The issuer may choose to require encryption for a user zone by settings made in the configuration memory. Any one of four keys may be selected for use with a user zone. In this case, activation of the encryption mode is required in order to read/write data in the zone and only encrypted data will be transmitted. Even if not required, the host may elect to activate encryption provided the proper keys are known. 12.4 Supervisor Mode Enabling this feature allows the holder of one specific password to gain full access to all eight password sets, including the ability to change passwords. 12.5 Modify Forbidden No write access is allowed in a user zone protected with this feature at any time. The user zone must be written during device personalization prior to blowing the security fuses. 12.6 Program Only For a user zone protected by this feature, data within the zone may be changed from a "1" to a "0", but never from a "0" to a "1". 13. Initial Device Programming To enable the security features of CryptoMemory, the device must first be personalized to set up several registers and load in the appropriate passwords and keys. This is accomplished through programming the configuration memory of CryptoMemory using simple write and read commands. To gain access to the configuration memory, the secure code must first be successfully presented. For the AT88SC0808C device, the secure code is $22 E8 3F. After writing and verifying data in the configuration memory, the security fuses must be blown to lock this information in the device. For additional information on personalizing CryptoMemory, please see the application notes Programming CryptoMemory for Embedded Applications and Initializing CryptoMemory for Smart Card Applications (at www.Atmel.com). 14 AT88SC0808C [SUMMARY DATASHEET] Atmel-2024MS-CryptoMem-AT88SC0808C-Datasheet-Summary_122013 14.

Surprisingly, I don't really recall liking too many Dr. Seuss books as a child. One of his books that I do remember reading with my mom often is Horton Hatches the Egg. I'm not sure where my mom bought our copy, but she probably found it at a garage sale or maybe she got it for free from the store. If I remember correctly, the paperback copy we owned had a mark on the cover indicating that it was part of a promotion for Crest/Prell/Wondra. Our copy suffered some wear from the frequent readings. I'm not sure if my mom still has our copy, but if it was still in good condition it looks like it would be worth more than many of the normal editions because of it's rarity. Who would guess a once free book would have any worth? Go figure.
Horton Hatches the Egg is one of Dr. Seuss's earlier works, first published in 1940. In the book, Horton agrees to sit on a Mazie's (a lazy bird) egg while she goes off on a "short" vacation. He faithfully sits on the egg through the rain and snow and kept on, even though the other animals teased him and people made him part of a circus act.
Horton is an extremely lovable character. Readers can easily sympathize with him. The witty, rhyming verses in this book are top notch, showing Seuss's genius way with words. The book does contain an image of hunters with guns, so sensitive children may get a little frightened at this part. Several moral themes run through the book including responsibility, perseverance and keeping your word. In an Anchorage Daily News article from 1978, Seuss says that the idea for Horton came while he was working in his studio one day and the wind blew a picture of an elephant on top of another piece of paper where he had drawn a tree.
"I meant what I said / And I said what I meant.... / An elephant's faithful / One hundred per cent!"
In that same article he remarks, "Teaching a child to read is a family setup. It's the business of having books around the house, not forcing them. Parents should have 20 books stacked on tables or set around the living room. The average kid will pick one up, find something interesting. And pretty soon he's reading." Horton Hatches the Egg is on top of one of our piles right now!
We made Horton Handprint Elephants for a corresponding craft. I saw the idea for the handprint elephants on the Learning 4 Fun blog and we added a tree, nest and egg to complete Horton inspired pictures. They turned out pretty cute.

What is Nipple Reduction?
Nipple reduction is carried out to decrease nipple size. Nipple reduction can also include reshaping of the nipple to create better nipple proportions and reduction of the areola, the darker area surrounding the nipple. Nipple reduction may take place alongside breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction.
Nipple reduction is achieved by removing excess tissue from the nipple through tiny incisions on the nipple itself. The surgeon will carry out the procedure either to reduce the length of the nipple or the width of the nipple, or both.

Programs and Services
The police department maintains an animal control department that deals mostly with dog related issues. Mark and Kelly McGregor currently serve as animal control officers. They maintain the city's dog pound, assist with the apprehension of dogs running at large, and may assist with animal neglect matters. The confined dogs generally are claimed by their owners, but may need to be adopted by willing people if new owners can be found. Dog complaints and questions need to be directed to the police department at 515-295-3515. The City of Algona does not have the facilities to house any other type of animals.
For nearly thirty years the Algona Police Department has maintained two canines. This program was originally funded by Snap On Tools as a result of a series of bomb threats. Officer Ben Gatton and his partner Puma work as a full service canine. They are also trained and certified in narcotics detection. Officer Grant Smith and his partner Jet work exclusively in explosives detection. In addition to their street duties, both canines and their handlers are available to speak to groups and civic organizations. These requests need to be directed to the police department.
Drug Abuse Resistance Education is a long standing program in Kossuth County. Officer Doug Rahe teaches all fifth grade students throughout the schools in the county. It is a ten week program where Rahe visits each class once per week. Some of the many topics the classes talk about include alcohol, drugs, bullying, good and bad choices, communication, and peer pressure. This program is an outstanding way for the department and the students to interact.
Another long standing program for the Algona Police Department has police officers periodically performing physical checks of homes when the owners are on vacation or gone for the winter. It's a simple process where the owner of renter comes to the police department and completes a standard form prior to their departure. Or you can download the form from here, print it out, and either drop it off or mail it to the police department. It alerts the department the occupants are gone, what lights will be on, and who to contact if a problem is detected. Occasionally an officer will walk around the structure to check the doors and windows.
The term ALICE stands for Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate. Assistant Chief Bo Miller, Deputy Josh Missman, and Emergency Management Director David Penton instruct this program in the Kossuth County area. Upon request they teach a three to four hour class to schools and workplaces on what people need to do in the event of a shooting or other acts of extreme violence. Employers can contact our department if they are possibly interested in hosting this program. Additional information regarding this program can be found here.
This is a popular new program that started in the Algona schools in 2015. Many of the Algona Police Officers visit Bertha Godfrey, Lucia Wallace, Bryant, and Seton schools on a weekly basis. Officers will walk around the schools and visit with the students and staff. This program exists so children gain a comfort level with police officers and even get to know their names.
The Algona Police Department encourages any groups or organizations that would like an officer to come in and speak about the department, any of it's programs, or any other topic of interest are asked to contact the Chief of Police at 515-295-3515. The department will make every attempt to accommodate all requests and always enjoys the opportunity to interact with the community.

text: I am a retired Canadian Armed Forces Photographer who recently retired in 2012. I had an awesome 23 year career and travelled to many different countries. Usually not the places you would like to vacation in, I always enjoyed wherever I was photographing the local people and their environment. Due to my line of work and the places I have been I deal with the memories and effects of my prior career. I began to concentrate more on my photography again in 2013 and started to feel that passion again for it. Being able to shoot only what I wanted and how I wanted was great!I began to paint in March of 2014, first in watercolour. I really enjoyed the watercolour medium. The subtleties of the colours and learned just how patient you have to be with a painting sometimes. I eventually gravitated to acrylics, my first few I struggle with and was about to give up entirely. After taking a break from painting over the winter due to the birth of our second daughter, I started again and viewed a lot youtube videos and gave it a try again. well this time success. I enjoy painting landscapes; tranquil ones of places I would like to be. Please leave comments or contact me if you are interested in original pieces. firstname.lastname@example.com

Strawberry Conserves from 'Canal House Cooks Every Day'
Strawberries may be going out of season in much of the country, but the few remaining berries are worth seeking out to preserve à la Canal House Cooks Every Day. Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer have developed a very precise method for preserving these typically finicky berries. Because strawberries are naturally low in pectin, many strawberry preserves contain added pectin. However, Hamilton and Hirsheimer eschew the commercial stuff for good ol' lemon peel (pith included). This addition, combined with a vigorous boil of the sugar and juice, makes for a barely set syrup that envelopes the tender berries.
Why I picked this recipe: I need no convincing to boil a batch of strawberry preserves, and I was curious how effective the lemon peel would be in setting the preserve.
What worked: Every step of the recipe went smoothly; my less-than-ideal strawberries were made into a sweet treat enjoyable for weeks to come.
What didn't: I found it tricky to transfer the preserve into jars after it had cooled and the syrup had turned viscous. Next time, I'll transfer everything to jars after returning the berries to the syrup.
Suggested tweaks: You could take a similar approach to other summer fruit. Stone fruits, like peaches and cherries, would work great. If your strawberries are on the larger side, cut them in half before cooking.

- Yield:Makes about 4 half-pints
- Active time: 45 minutes
- Total time:7 hours to overnight
- Rated:
- 4 cups perfect little strawberries, washed and hulled
- 3 cups superfine sugar
- Peel of 1 lemon, including white pith
Put the strawberries in a heavy wide pot. Use a rubber spatula to fold in 1 1/2 cups of the sugar then bring to a boil over medium-high heat, about 5
minutes. Continue to boil for 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
Fold in the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, return the pot to the heat, and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to lift the berries from the syrup and spread them out on a plate. Return the pot with the syrup to the heat, add the lemon peel, bring to a boil over medium-high, and boil for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the syrup settle, then use a mesh skimmer to skim off any foam. Allow the syrup to cool, then return the berries to the syrup. Cover and set aside until set, about 6 hours or overnight. Remove the lemon peel. Pack the preserves in sterilized jars and refrigerate.

Halloween — History.com Articles, Video, Pictures and FactsSunday, October 10th, 2010
This morning as we sat around the breakfast table and started discussing plans for our annual Halloween celebration the kids started asking me about the origins of Halloween. As a kid in high school I first learned about its origins that dated back centuries. I luckily was able to locate a great recounting of its history on History.com. It provides great insight on why it is celebrated and the many traditions of the holiday.

Re: Republic Commando: Alpha Squad
"In that case, as long as your mission parameters don't differ from ours, we should have no problems.
"Tracyn, Gayiyli, and I will spread out and secure the perimeter. Jag will find a place to cover us, in case our mission has been compromised. Tal will slice one of the delivery speeders, so we can find an operational base to work from. You can work on finding a few options to check out, relatively close to where the Sep Council Member will be speaking. Also, keep in mind the location of the hangar, in case we get an opportunity to take it out." Kad could imagine the smile on Tracyn's face. "We'll proceed from there."

By Steve Wehrly, Journal reporter
Tia's Tacos opened at the corner of Blair Avenue and Ellsworth Streets in Friday Harbor. Although a bit off the beaten path, the location has proved ideal.
"It's not where a lot of people thought it should be," said founder and "boss" Gail Ochoa.
"But it's where it should be," she said as she perused a small dining room jammed with high school students who came from the Friday Harbor High School one block north, and Spring Street International School one block south. "I want the kids from both schools to meet each other here, and Lucy (Aguilar, who helps Ochoa cook) and I will be their 'Aunties'." (Tia means "auntie" in Spanish.)
As one might be suppose, $1.75 tacos filled with pork, chicken, beef or sweet potato are the mainstay, but quesadillas, burritos, and tamales are often on the menu board, and on Fridays "Guatemalan tamales" — a larger version made by Guatemalan cook Aguilar — don't last long.
Mexican food demands good sauces, and Tia's responds with a collection of four or five bottles of the green and red pepper kind, and a serve-yourself condiment bar with house-made tomatillo and roasted red pepper sauces, a zippy Pico de Gallo, chopped onions and jalapenos and other tidbits.
Gail Ochoa says she's been cooking south-of-the-border food for her husband Alfonso and the rest of the family "for about 15 years," and she hopes local Hispanics will start dropping by.
"We're want to try new tastes and ingredients," she says, "but first we want to make the best tacos and tamales in town."
Gordon Elliott, who grew up eating Mexican food in Sen Pedro, Calif., is a believer: "Great. Unbelievably good food," he enthuses as he digs into a big plateful.
Tia's is open at 485 Ellsworth Street Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday until 6:30 p.m. Call for take-out to 378-TACO.

Baltimore County leads way with preschool education
High school students able to earn college credits
President Barack Obama said he'll help states offer preschool for every 4-year-old, especially those from low- and moderate-income families, and he wants to see more high school students earn college credits.
Baltimore County has responded to both requests, leading the way in preschool education. The county has also found ways to help students earn college credits, and there's at least one program where they're working hand-in-hand.
Some students at Lansdowne High School on Thursday spent part of their day learning how to teach some of the county's youngest learners as part of a program where those 4 years old and younger get to spend part of their day on the high school campus. It's all a part of the school's Health and Human Service Academy.
"I just really like kids and I want to be a teacher when I grow up. So I figured it would give me enough experience to be able to do what I want to do," Lansdowne student Shannon Parks said.
Students get to earn a 90-hour daycare certificate and college credits.
"It helps you throughout school so, I mean, it's easier for you to go into the college process," student Kimberly Bittings said.
Close to a dozen preschoolers are set to begin a new term later in February, which is why Lansdowne students are getting prepared.
"Most of their experience is just with babysitting and entertaining kids, but this is where they have to plan, prepare and teach lessons to the preschoolers," teacher Wendy Happel said.
"I just like to deal with kids. I like to see the fact that kids are so happy to be around people, and I want to help them be OK in kindergarten and first grade and so on," student Shye Carbaugh said.
The students get to plan their own careers while helping to pave an educational path for those who'll come behind them.
"I love kids, and I feel like it's going to help me when I decide to become a pediatrician. It'll help me interact with the kids, and I'll have a little more experience with them," student Aqsa Ali said.

Rich, Sediment-Laden Lagoons Composing Términos Lagoon, Mexico – April 23rd, 201218.6N 91.5W
Sediments and phytoplankton growth gives the waters of the Términos Lagoon a bright green color. This body of water is made up of a series of rich, sediment-laden lagoons and tidal estuaries connected by two channels to the Bay of Campeche in the southern part of Gulf of Mexico. It is located in Carmen Municipality in the southwestern part of the Mexican state of Campeche.
The lagoon's shores are swampy and support mangroves, and twenty-nine percent of the lagoon is covered with seagrass. It is fed by several fresh water rivers, including the Mezcapala, Grijalva and Usumacinta Rivers, and includes several lagoons such as Pom, Atasta, Puerto Rico, Este and Panlau. It is about 112.5 square km in area (about 50 miles long and 20 miles wide). Every nine days, approximately 50% of the lagoon's water volume is renewed, primarily through the effect of ocean tides.

Wells Fargo (WFC) and Raymond James (RJF) have recently attracted teams from Morgan Stanley (MS), while several groups of independent advisors have affiliated themselves with broker-dealers such as LPL Financial and organizations like HighTower Advisors.
Wells Fargo Advisors (WFC) said Thursday that it just recruited Alison Scavone and William "Hayden" Bates in Westport, Connecticut. At Morgan Stanley (MS), the team managed more than $348 million in combined assets; they have more than 40 years of combined industry experience.
James Switzer and Eric Cobb have moved from Morgan Stanley to Raymond James Financial Services (RJFS), the independent broker-dealer channel of Raymond James, in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
The team operates as Switzer Cobb Wealth Partners. At Morgan Stanley, it managed $180-plus million in client assets and had annual fees and commissions that topped $1.3 million.
"We felt the time had come to be an independent business and grow our own brand, but we still wanted access to all the resources and support of a major firm," Switzer said in a statement. "Raymond James was the perfect fit. Since our transition, we have been overwhelmed by how friendly and helpful everyone is … We also appreciate the firm's technology and back office support, while being in control of our own practice and destiny."
Switzer began his career at Merrill Lynch in 1990, moving to Morgan Stanley in 2008. Cobb started his work in the business at Merrill Lynch in 1996 and switched with Switzer to Morgan Stanley in 2008 to open the firm's first Spartanburg office.
LPL Financial (LPLA) says the Financial Advocacy Network of the greater Washington, D.C., area has joined its broker-dealer and RIA custodial platform. The 13 advisors of FAN, a newly launched independent hybrid RIA group, have some $450 million of client assets.
"We are very pleased to welcome Chris Cox and all the independent advisors in Financial Advocacy Network to LPL Financial," said Steve Pirigyi, executive VP of business development at LPL Financial, in a press release. "Their objective to nurture a broad range of capabilities among FAN's independent advisors and then share their common intellectual capital, is a forward-thinking innovation on the advisor-group business model …"
HighTower Advisors announced that Fiduciary Plan Advisors of Baltimore is now part of its network, which includes a technology and business-development platform.
"Fiduciary Plan Advisors' focus on delivering differentiated solutions to corporate plan sponsors is meeting a critical need in the market," said Michael Parker, HighTower's national director of enterprise development, in a statement. "With the network's support, they will be able to maintain their own unique brand and culture while providing clients with more comprehensive and sophisticated product and service offerings."
The Fiduciary Plan Advisors team is led by CEO Jania Stout.
"In six years, the practice has grown from serving the Baltimore and D.C. areas to advising clients all over the country on the challenges and complexities associated with providing corporate retirement plans," explained Stout, in a statement. "Membership in the HighTower Network gives us the infrastructure to support a national footprint and enables us to remain fully focused on addressing our clients' unique needs as we continue to build our business."
National Financial Partners (NFP) Advisor Services added 53 advisors this week, all of whom are members of RPAG, a retirement-plan consulting group based in Aliso Viejo, Calif.
"The news is also indicative of the retirement plan tools and support that NFP Advisor Services provides independent advisors."
"The additions – which come on the heels of the integration of 401(k) Advisors into the NFP family – showcase our significant recruiting momentum and further solidify NFP's position as the premier home for advisors in the retirement industry," said NFP Advisor Services President James Poer, in a statement. "The news is also indicative of the retirement plan tools and support that NFP Advisor Services provides independent advisors."

Renowned: The Morimoto Elite Systems have earned their reputation amongst many as the aftermarket's best set of HID's. We urge you to check out the specs below, read the reviews and then ask yourself whether your ability to see well while driving at night is worth saving a couple bucks?
HID Ballasts: Designed in California by Morimoto's engineer, Yoshi Ishida, the Morimoto XB 2.0 HID Ballasts are just as good looking on the outside as they are well-engineered on the inside. They are available in both 35w and 50w versions, use proprietary software by the pros at Hylux paired with packaging perfection from the masters at Morimoto. This is today's most modern iteration of a model that has sold more than half a million units since inception, and we don't think it can really get any better!
H7 HID Bulbs: Homegrown by Morimoto to out-perform any alternatives on the market when installed in projector-based headlight…and it shows. We admit the latest generation XB HID bulbs are pretty impressive when compared to other bulbs, and even older Morimoto bulbs. At the heart of the XB bulbs is their perfectly-aligned 100% Philips quartz glass capsule that houses high quality halide salts from German-supplier Messer. In our annual lux comparison test, they produced nearly the same luminosity (intensity) as the industry benchmark Osram CBI bulbs at 5500K. No, you're not seeing things here, but yes you will be seeing everything at night.
Wire Harness: As one of the most important parts in any HID lighting upgrade; don't skimp out when it comes to your wiring. It doesn't matter how good your ballasts are. How good your bulbs are. If your harness is a piece of crap, when it gives out your headlights are gonzo. Morimoto's harnesses are the best on the market and easily worth their premium price compared to cheaper alternatives. No matter which one is right for your application, the harness features triple-sealed central relay packs, 14ga stranded copper wiring, over-molded fittings, and plug-n-play functionality. This will ensure everything properly (and permanently) works with your vehicle's original in-cabin controls.
Optional Canbus Harnesses: Instead of a traditional relayed harness that draws power from the battery, Morimoto's Standalone Canbus harnesses use two individual sub-harnesses to keep a load on the factory wiring. Recommended for vehicles that recognize when a bulb is out, these contain a series of capacitors and resistors to trick the car into thinking nothing has changed and help you avoid annoying "bulb out" warnings. We generally recommend them for use on most modern European applications instead of normal harnesses since they do a great job at providing stable power to the ballasts and canceling any warnings.
User-Approved: By satisfied enthusiasts with all kinds of cars and trucks. With a quick and easy search we pulled up install examples (1,2,3,4,5,6) that span several generations of the Elite HID systems! If you haven't made a decision just yet, keep reading!
Benchmark: Morimoto. The Automotive Lighting Benchmark. We are globally recognized as the brand to beat. No other brand blends performance and genuine product quality quite like us. Our vast product line has something for nearly every application, and if not; our R&D department is capable of producing it in short order. Contact us and learn what we can do for you!

Six of the best pieces of music inspired by birdsong
In honour of our 50,000 twitter followers, we take a look at the works inspired by tweets.
1. Vaughan Williams: The Lark Ascending (1914)
A silvery solo violin line flutters and darts, reaching up ever higher above the orchestra's hushed, held chord. There's no other opening quite like it for instant atmosphere, as Vaughan Williams deftly depicts a lark as 'he rises and begins to round'.
Completed in 1914, the British composer's pastoral romance for violin and orchestra is an evocation of the 'seraphically free' song of the skylark, inspired by George Meredith's poem of the same name. Its purity and grace give it a timeless quality, and it's become one of the most well-known of classical works.
2. Respighi: The Birds (Gli uccelli) (1928)
A real-life nightingale, well, a recording of it at least, appears in Respighi's 1924 Pines of Rome. And the song of the nightingale also puts in an appearance in his neo-classical suite, The Birds, in which birdsong meets Baroque, as written for a 20th-century orchestra.
The five-movement work also features a dove (La colomba), with a heartfelt oboe melody inspired by Jacques de Gallot, and the familiar call of the Cuckoo (Il Cucù). And if the chirpy Hen movement (La gallina) sounds familiar, that might be because it's based on the same Rameau harpsichord work (The Hen, or La poule) that inspired Saint-Saëns for his 'Hens and cockerels' movement in Carnival of the Animals.
3. Rautavaara: Cantus Arcticus (1972)
Why imitate birds in music when you can use the real thing? Rautavaara's 'concerto for birds and orchestra', as it's subtitled, uses taped birdsong throughout, taking Respighi's idea one step further.
The Finnish composer headed off on a field trip to near the Arctic Circle (hence the title) and to the marshlands of Liminka in Northern Finland to record the calls of a whole host of birds. Listening to it is like stepping into an avian paradise, with the melancholy song of the shore larks as unforgettable as the migrating whooper swans. The bird calls are juxtaposed with a lush orchestral score.
4. Jonathan Harvey: Bird Concerto with Pianosong (2003)
'Indigo bunting, orchard oriole, golden crowned sparrow – these are some of the 40 colourful Californian birds whose songs and cries sparked the ignition of this work as I started it in the brilliant light of California,' explained the British composer Jonathan Harvey.
In some ways, his Bird Concerto with Pianosong makes a contemporary companion piece to Rautavaara's Cantus Arcticus. It opens with recorded birdsong, which is used in dialogue with the piano and chamber orchestra, echoing Rautavaara.
But Harvey's use of electronic instruments (the pianist is also in charge of the birdsong samples on synthesiser) adds another dimension to the composition, as the calls are gradually transformed over the piece's half-hour stretch.
5. Elgar: Owls (1907)
One of the stranger pieces inspired by birds, Elgar's Owls is the fourth and final of a set of part-songs – and perhaps another of Elgar's enigmas. Dedicated (somewhat improbably) to his daughter Carice's Angora rabbit Peter, it sets a text that Elgar wrote himself and which seems to raise many more questions than it answers.
It talks of little more than dead leaves falling and rustling, and a crying 'wild thing hurt in the night'. 'What is it? … Nothing', the refrain echoes, adding to the sense of unease created by the odd harmonies and sparse textures. 'It is only a fantasy and means nothing,' said the composer, 'it is in a wood at night evidently and the recurring "Nothing" is only an owlish sound'.
6. Messiaen: La merle noir (1952)
And finally we turn to the master of musical ornithology. The 20th-century French composer became an expert at notating birdsong, ranging from those heard in his home country to those on his travels, as far away as New Zealand. These meticulously notated calls found their way into much of his music, including the Catalogue d'Oiseaux (1950s) for solo piano and the 1953 Réveil des oiseaux.
But the piece that set him off on his avian adventure was La merle noir. Written in 1952 as an audition piece for the Paris Conservatoire, this flute and piano work captures the song of the blackbird.

You know I thug 'em, fuck 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
'Cause I don't fuckin' need 'em
Take 'em out the hood, keep 'em lookin' good
But I don't fuckin' feed 'em
First time they fuss I'm breezin'
Talkin' about, "What's the reasons?"
I'm a pimp in every sense of the word
Bitch, better trust and believe 'em
In the cut where I keep 'em
'Til I need a nut, 'til I need to beat the guts
Then it's "beep beep" and I'm pickin' them up
Let 'em play with the dick in the truck
Many chicks wanna put Jigga's fists in cuffs
Divorce him and split his bucks
Just because you got good head
I'ma break bread, so you can be livin' it up?
Shit, I part with nothin', y'all be frontin'
Me give my heart to a woman?
Not for nothin', never happen; I'll be forever mackin'
Heart cold as assassins, I got no passion
I got no patience and I hate waitin'
Ho, get your ass in and let's ride!

Hoes start pointin', they say: "There he go!"
Now these motherfuckers know we carry mo'
Heat than a little bit

And if you catch a lick when I spit
Then it won't be a little hit
Go read a book, you illiterate son of a bitch!
And step up your vocab!
Don't be surprised if your ho stab out with me
And you see us comin' down on yo' SLAB
Livin' ghetto-fabulous, so mad, you just can't take it
But nigga if you hatin' I
Then you wait while I get your bitch butt-naked
Just break it; you gotta pay like you weigh
Wet with two pairs of clothes on
Now get yo' ass to the back as I'm flyin' to the track
Timbaland, let me spit my prose on
Pump it up in the pro-zone
That's the track that we breakin' these hoes on
Ain't the track that we flows on
But when shit get hot then the Glock start poppin' like ozone
We keep hoes crunk like Trigger-man
For real, it don't get no bigger, man
Don't trip, let's flip, gettin' throwed on the flip
Gettin' blowed with the motherfuckin' Jigga Man, fool!

Smokin' out, pourin' up
Keepin' lean up in my cup
All my car got leather and wood
In my hood we call it "buck"
Everybody wanna ball
Holla at broads at the mall
If he up, watch him fall
Nigga, I can't fuck with y'all
If I wasn't rappin', baby
I would still be ridin' Mercedes
Comin' down and sippin' daily
No record 'til whitey pay me
Uhh, now what y'all know about them Texas boys?
Comin' down in candied toys
Smokin' weed and talkin' noise
[Chorus 2: Bun B]
We be big pimpin', spendin' cheese
We be big pimpin' on B-L-A-D's
We be big pimpin' down in P.A.T
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and B-U-N B
[Verse 4: JaAY-Z]
On the canopy, my stamina be
Enough for Pamela Anderson Lee
MTV jam of the week
Made my money quick, then back to the streets
But still sittin' on blades, sippin' that Ray
Standin' on the corner of my block, hustlin'
Still gettin' that 'caine
Half what I paid slippin' right through customs
It'll sell by night, its egg shell white
I got so many grams, if the man find out
It will land me in jail for life
But I'm still big pimpin', spendin' cheese
With Bun B, Pimp C, and Timothy
We got bitches in the back of the truck
Laughin' it up, Jigga Man: that's what's up!
[Chorus 2: Bun B]
We be big pimpin', spendin' cheese
We be big pimpin' on B-L-A-D's
We be big pimpin' down in P.A.T
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and B-U-N B
"Big Pimpin'" was the fifth and final single from Jay-Z's fourth studio album Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter. The track is an ode to the "pimping" lifestyle, that is, sex with girls without becoming emotionally attached to them.
Produced by Timbaland, it is notable as one of the first songs where Southern rap truly broke into the mainstream with the appearance of Texas natives Bun B and Pimp C, known together as the Underground Kingz (UGK).
The track is one of Jay-Z's most successful singles, peaking at #18 on the Billboard 'Hot 100' and spending twenty weeks on the chart. It ranked at #467 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". In 2004 the track had a chart resurgence when it featured on Jay and Linkin Park's Collision Course mash-up album.
Jay had been trying to get UGK on a track with him since 1998, and had his mind set on them appearing on "A Week Ago" – but Pimp C wasn't interested in leaving the South to record with him.
In early-1999 Hov rang Bun and said he had the perfect track for the duo to appear on. Bun hung up on him, thinking it was a prank call. Jay persisted and sent the instrumental tapes to them in Texas. Bun flew out to New York to record his verse, but Pimp was still unsure. Eventually he gave in and dropped a now-legendary eight-bar verse:
It sounded like a pop record to me. I didn't want to do it. It scared me, because I didn't know how people was going to take us going in that direction. But I remember Jay telling me, 'Look, family: It's going to be the biggest record of your career. If you don't do it for yourself, just do it for me.' That was good enough for me, so I jumped on it.
That was my third single. Took the album to three million. Kyambo 'Hip-Hop' Joshua was with me in the studio with Timbaland; he knew I was a UGK fan and he suggested we put them on the record. We called Bun and then Pimp C was like 'The horns, them shits are too fruity.' He was concerned with alienating his audience. When Pimp first sent his verse, I didn't get it—but then the genius of his cadence hit me. Back then MTV's "Making of the Video" was really impacting record sales and I had to have that. I got Hype and we had all the legendary 'video vixens.' I doubled down at the right time and it took off.
The "Big Pimpin'" video budget stands as Jay-Z's highest ever, made for around $2 million. Enjoy!
The video was shot in both Trinidad and Miami in March 2000. While Jay-Z and Bun B made the flight out to Trinidad and Tobago, Pimp C refused to leave Houston and travel to the island nation to shoot the video during the infamous Carnival. The video's director, Hype Williams, kept trying to convince him to come to no avail, so Hov and the Roc-A-Fella Records team had to leave Trinidad with a high-budget video for a massive single that had zero seconds of Pimp C in it.
They solved this problem by organizing another shoot in Miami later that month. They found a section of beach and a mansion that looked somewhat tropical to fit with the rest of the video's imagery, and Pimp C actually made the trip this time.
In 2007, the song sparked controversy when copyright co-owner Osama Ahmed Fahmy filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Federal Court, alleging that Timbaland illegally replayed portions of the sample "Khosara Khosara" note-for-note. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2015, granting Jay Z and Timb a sampling victory.
"Big Pimpin'" is the second episode in the progression of Jay-Z's portrayal of women in his raps. As he told NPR:
I mean, a song on my first album was "Ain't No Nigga." […] It was like, this careless relationship. And then that went to "Big Pimpin" in '99. And on that same album was a song called "Song Cry," and then "Song Cry" became "Bonnie & Clyde" on 2004, which became "Venus vs. Mars" on my last album. So there's a steady growth in the conversations – that's being had as it pertains to women, you know, as I grew.
In his memoir, Decoded, Hov disavowed "Big Pimpin'" and shared his embarrassment due to its lyrical content:
Some [lyrics] become really profound when you see them in writing. Not 'Big Pimpin'.' It was like, 'I can't believe I said that. And kept saying it. What kind of animal would say this sort of thing?'
Making records is all about the moment. You capture that moment in time and it's a letter in a bottle. Sometimes, years later, you go back and you play a track and it's like reading the diary of a you that you can barely remember. Doesn't mean that the "old you" was bad or something to be ashamed of.
Biggs' brother, one of Jay's close friends, and Roc-A-Fella Records associate Kyambo "Hip-Hop'" Joshua named the track after hearing it for the first time, earning himself a writing credit.
