LAKE FOREST – Downed power lines and a blown transformer are blocking the intersection of Trabuco and El Toro roads Thursday morning.
Crews from Southern California Edision have arrived on the scene.
The intersection could be closed until 3 p.m.
It appears a wooden power pole snapped just after midnight and took down a metal traffic-light pole.
There are no signs that a vehicle hit the pole.
More details to come.

After coming up for air following the 2006 publication of his book "Treasure Hunt," Michael Silverstein, a senior partner and managing director at Boston Consulting Group, has dived into his next effort — "The Female Economy: What Women Want," a global outlook to be published by HarperCollins next September. Consumer behavior expert Silverstein and co-author Katharine Sayre anticipate a world in 2028 where American women will earn more on average than their male counterparts, boosted by rapidly rising levels of education. As a result, he foresees women demanding more of the things they purchase.
WWD: With women focused on the traditional challenges of managing their finances, households and time, how much is going to be changing in the way they shop and spend money?
Michael Silverstein: I think it's a huge change in the total dollars in their hands. In the next five years, we estimate women will generate an increase in spending globally of $700 billion.
I would not categorize all of their top challenges as traditional concerns. Time I would characterize as a total paradigm shift. Job pressure is a huge one. Women are looking for agents of convenience, both in products and services; things they can count on in terms of time and convenience.
Between 66 and 70 percent of women believe they'll be better off five years from now.
WWD: How is it that this optimism exists despite the downturn in the U.S. economy this year?
M.S.: They are optimistic about themselves. They are not optimistic about the economy. My hypothesis is they feel they can control their own space, but not the world.
WWD: You cite financial services, health care and technology/electronics as industries women identify as doing the worst job meeting their needs. How satisfied are they with the fashion business, particularly apparel?
M.S.: Apparel is not one of the categories where there is a huge amount of dissatisfaction. The level is about half the level of [the dissatisfaction with] financial services.
WWD: What information will "The Female Economy" include besides the responses of the 11,000 women who have taken your survey online at womenspeakworldwide.com?
M.S.: We will do a number of individual interviews with consumers and women leaders and profile companies, in addition to continuing the online surveys. We will do the survey for the next 10 years, with annual updates.
WWD: Have there been any big surprises in your findings for the book?
M.S.: The biggest surprise has been some of the products and services [women] want to buy — how it varies at different life stages. Married, working women with young children have a very tough life, including 30 hours a week of housework. There are tight budgets and limited amounts of time. They are looking for someone who can put their arms around them and say, "I can help you."
Massage Envy is a franchise massage place for the masses. For $57, you can get a 90-minute massage.
That's a lot better than what you'd pay in New York — right? [He laughs.]

Former East Lancs teacher in absestos cancer claim
2:30pm Saturday 4th January 2014 in News
By Tyrone Marshall, Reporter
A FORMER teacher believes the life-threatening cancer she is suffering from may have been caused by exposure to asbestos during a 22-year career at schools in East Lancashire.
Janet Gent, a victim of the lung condition mesothelioma, is now appealing to her former colleagues to come forward as her lawyers prepare a claim for compensation.
Mrs Gent worked for eight years until as a home economics teacher at Walton High in Nelson and is convinced she was exposed to asbestos fibres or dust at the former Oxford Road school.
Her legal representatives, Thompsons Solicitors, understand that neither her, nor her colleagues, were made aware of the potential dangers in their working environment.
Four years ago the Lancashire Telegraph reported that 213 schools in Burnley, Pendle, Hyndburn, Rossendale and Ribble Valley were found to have asbestos in their structures.
But education officials then insisted that the material, which comes in a variety of forms, was not dangerous unless it was disturbed.
Refurbishment programmes at a number of local schools have included work to remove asbestos from walls or other partitions.
Mrs Gent, who still lives in the Nelson area, also worked as a supply teacher at 15 high schools or special schools in East Lancashire, and one in South Yorkshire, from 1983 to 1995.
These include the former Barden, Ivy Bank, Habergham, Gawthorpe and St Theodore's high schools and a special school in Burnley, Walshaw and Mansfield high schools, and Town House and Hendon Brook special schools in Nelson, Park and Primet High, along with Gibfield special school, all in Colne, Tullyann School in Darwen, and Valley special school in Rossendale.
Joanne Candlish, Thompsons' asbestos team head, said: "It is vital that we trace Janet Gent's co-workers to enable a full investigation to be carried out into her history of asbestos exposure "Mrs Gent needs and deserves to see justice done and we are committed to helping her achieve this."
Potential witnesses are being asked to call Mrs Candlish on 0151 224 1644.

The final phase of NFL scouting has begun. Many of the teams are now flying prospects to their complexes to get a closer look.
The collegiate career, All-Star games, scouting combine, and on-campus pro scouting days are all complete. This final phase is an opportunity for the teams to evaluate each prospect's character, personality and chalkboard skills.
The consequence of drafting a player who has off-the-field, substance abuse, or violence issues are dire. With these types of issues, the team potentially loses the player and then experiences an acceleration of deferred signing bonus and "dead cap space."
As a result, the team may not only lose the player, but they also lose the ability to replace him due to salary cap restrictions.
There will be a "dead week" in scouting prior to the draft, and the spectacle of actual drafting commences on May 8.
The Houston Texans are in the unique position of holding the first overall pick. They can draft in their No. 1 position or trade the pick for additional draft picks.
Texans owner Bob McNair and General Manager Rick Smith are brilliant and accomplished sports professionals who have built a powerhouse franchise that simply went off the tracks last year.
Obviously they do not need my advice or pressure to make the right decision with the first pick. But I have represented 60 first-round picks and the very first pick in the first round in eight separate years.
Here are my variables and considerations.
When President Bill Clinton ran for office, his focus was simple: "It's the economy ... stupid." In the same vain, to build a winning franchise in the contemporary NFL: "It's the franchise quarterback ... stupid."
It takes tremendous judgment on multiple fronts to win in the NFL, but the key to getting to and winning in the playoffs and Super Bowl is having the right franchise quarterback as the leader.
The NFL has evolved from a run-first mentality to a pass-first mentality. Having a quarterback that a team can build around for the next 10-12 years, win "because of" rather than "with" a QB who can elevate his play in adverse and critical circumstances to take a team to victory, is the critical building block for success.
Franchise quarterbacks are not easy to find. It is not just a matter of drafting them — the modern cap considerations force a team to start a first-round draft pick immediately.
No longer is there room for the tutelage and continued development that players like Aaron Rogers, Carson Palmer, and even Brett Favre experienced.
Forget the fast starts of Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson and Robert Griffin III — normally a rookie year for a QB is filled with misadventure and a learning curve. A strong offensive line and a good defense can greatly assist the rookie QB's transition. The right quarterback coach is another essential.
The press and fans have high expectations and a young learning quarterback can have his confidence broken with premature "bust" assessments.
Look at the 1999 draft — Tim Couch, Akili Smith and Cade McNown were all top first-round picks who under-performed. Tom Brady was a sixth-round draft pick, Wilson was a third-round pick and both over-performed and out-paced expectations. These examples are clearly evidence that there are multiple ways for a team to fill the QB position, but generally it is the top of the first round where the greatness is found. From John Elway to Troy Aikman to the Manning brothers to Luck — the top of the draft should provide the best.
Houston has to believe they will never be this high up in draft order again. Jadeveon Clowney may be a great player, but Houston has already taken the Mario Williams route. They need a quarterback.
One hundred miles up the road at Texas A&M; is where to find the solution. Johnny Manziel is a freakishly gifted savant at the QB position — bright, good arm strength, a fiery leader, and the most amazing ability to sustain plays of any QB in modern history. With him at the helm, every game is winnable.
I don't represent Johnny, but if I owned or managed a team, I would start with him on May 8.

|Old Persian
The first Persian Empire of the Achaemenid dynasty rose to power in the middle of the 6th century BCE and quickly conquered an area that stretched from Mesopotamia to Afghanistan. Early in the history of the dynasty, a syllabic script to write the Old Persian language was developed. This script was not a direct descendent of the Sumerian and Akkadian systems, because even though the physical appearance of Old Persian signs are Cuneiform, or in the shape of wedges, the actual shape of the signs do not correspond to signs in older systems with similar phonetic values. Old Persian only kept the cuneiform appearance of its characters simply out of tradition, and the actual shape of the signs were completely original.
The Old Persian "syllabary" is somewhat of a misnomer, in that it also contains some logograms. However, since the majority of signs are syllabograms, Old Persian is classified as a syllabic script. It is also a very skeletal syllabary, in that sounds like /pu/ do not have independent signs but instead must be written with the signs pa and u. Also, single consonant that form part of a consonant cluster or the end of a syllable are also written with syllabograms with the /a/ vowel. So, in such cases, the syllabogram that contains the vowel /a/ drop its vowel value and in effect becomes a consonant.
Note that the symbol /ç/ is the traditional transcription of the sound [̣s], or apico-palatal voiceless fricative, much like /ch/ in German "ich".
These are the logograms used in Old Persian:
And these are numbers in Old Persian:
Also, a slanted vertical wedge is used as the separator between words, as illustrated in the following example:
The example translates as "I, Cyrus the king, an Achaemenid". The word separators are in purple. Syllabograms that are used only for their consonantal values have their vowels placed between parentheses, such as in the sign sequence r(i)-u that writes out the sound /ru/, and in the ending consonant /m/ in adam.

Rock the Vote..Don't Rock the Vote..Maybe
I didn't vote.
I couldn't do it. I wanted to. I know it's the right thing to do. My wife tried to persuade me multiple times, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to do it.
I just don't believe. I want to, but I couldn't find anything in either of these two fellas that would make me say difinitively "he is the one".
McCain is certainly the more qualified of the two, but I can't relate to him on any level. He's too old to be President, but too young to croak . Finally, the way he talks along with his out of sync body language, the dude creeps me out.
Sorry Joe the Plumber, it's back to snaking toilets for chump change buddy. You had your fifteen. See ya !
Obama on the other hand I can relate to. Unfortunatly I can't hop on his bandwagon.
As I've said before "I don't believe his hype". It's seems artificial.
The first time I voted was 1984 and I voted for these two dudes—-> I was in the Military then and at least I got a raise every year.
Oh yea, I'm done with negative political ads.
I can't take it anymore. It's just wrong.
I realize this picture is old but you see my point perfectly.
Damn funny though.
Why would someone in their right mind want to run for president? Seriously why?We all know that Bush is in it for the legacy.
I do feel a little
for not voting this time around.
But now I can say that I didn't have anything to do with electing either one of these clowns as Commander in Chief of the free world.
To me, voting for one of these guys is like pissing in the wind. You can do it, and immediately you feel warm, but later on down the road it's going to stink. I'm just saying.
But I do feel for those of you who voted..Sometimes your damned if you do and damned if you dont. Dammit.
So if you haven't yet, get out there and cast your vote. If you want to. It's totally free.
Don't let not voting leave a sour taste in your mouth——–>
I'll go ahead and take a pass this round, I'm clueless…D

Stocks exploded out of the gates and never looked back.
First the scoreboard:
Dow: 12,795, +207.6, +1.6 percent S&P 500: 1,386, +27.0, +1.9 percent NASDAQ: 2,916, +62.9, +2.2 percent
And now the top stories:
- There was no obvious explanation for today's global rally. But many people seem to believe that optimism that we'll be able to avoid the "fiscal cliff" is increasing. Politico's Ben White has declared that "it's already over."
- The U.S. housing market continues to be one of the brightest spots in the global economy. Existing homes sales unexpectedly surged 2.1 percent in October to 4.79 million at an annualized rate. Economists were expecting a modest decline. The national median existing home price was $178,600, up 11.1 percent from a year ago.
- The NAHB homebuilder confidence index surged to 46 in October from 41 a month ago. This was the highest reading since May 2006. This is particularly exciting as it is a strong leading indicator of the housing markets' contribution to GDP.
- Also, according to Motley Fool's Morgan Housel, each new home built is responsible for the creation of two to three jobs.
- Apple was looking particularly shiny today, staging an " insanely insane" rally. According to Miller Tabak's Jonathan Krinsky, these big upward moves are pretty rare. Since 2003, Apple has booked a daily gain greater than 6.8 percent 22 times.
- Earlier today, Greece passed laws intended to enforce budget targets and pay down debt. The country appears to be getting closer to securing more desperately needed bailout funds.
- Elsewhere overseas, tensions remain high in the Gaza Strip as Israel continued to bomb areas suspected to be occupied by Hamas. However, talks of a ceasefire seem to be gaining traction. As such, the surge in oil prices today seems to be attributed more to an improving economy, rather than the risk of supply disruptions in the Middle East.
- In other news, Hostess and the bakers union agreed to mediation. In other words, the Twinkie, the Snoball, and a bunch of other iconic baked goods could be safe — for now.

Fluorochromes were introduced to fluorescence microscopy in the early twentieth century as vital stains for bacteria, protozoa, and trypanosomes, but did not see widespread use until the 1920s when fluorescence microscopy was first used to study dye binding in fixed tissues and living cells. However, it wasn't until the early 1940s that Albert Coons developed a technique for labeling antibodies with fluorescent dyes, thus giving birth to the field of immunofluorescence. Over the past 60 years, advances in immunology and molecular biology have produced a wide spectrum of secondary antibodies and provided insight into the molecular design of fluorescent probes targeted at specific regions within macromolecular complexes.
The culture of African green monkey kidney cells featured in the digital image above was immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-vinculin mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to Cy3 (red emission). Vinculin is a protein associated with focal adhesion and adherens junctions, which are membrane-associated complexes that serve as nucleation sites for actin filaments and as crosslinkers between the external medium, plasma membrane, and actin cytoskeleton. The specimen was counterstained for F-actin with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin, and for DNA with DAPI. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Frequently Ask Questions
Which venues will I be going to? Can I Choose?
There are multiple venues and busses involved in the club crawl. Each bus will have a different route so it is next to impossible to provide the specific venues you will be going to. All club stops will be a mystery! We assure you, they are very popular bars and clubs in and around your city.
What if I can't make it in time to registration?
We highly recommend that you try and make it as early as possible. It is not advisable to miss the starting location. However, if this is simply not possible than you may:
(1) buy your ticket
(2) give it to your friend to take to the starting location
(3) your friend will retrieve your wristband for you
(4) when you are ready to join the club crawl, call your friend to see which club he or she is at
(5) your friend can meet you outside of the club to give you your wristband
(6) you will now be able to board a party bus, and enter the official club crawl venues.
Have a friend buy your ticket online for you, so that he or she will be able to claim your ticket and wristband for you at the starting location, and then give it to you at the second stop (or whenever you can join, but earlier the better so you don't miss out on any of the fun!)
What time do the busses leave? What time should I be there by?
Each venue has a different start time. Please refer to the Start Time listed above.
Will the bus return to the starting location?
Once you reach the final destination, you will be able to stay there the rest of the night. The busses will not be taking people back to the starting location as this is simply not logistically possible. Everyone wants to leave at different times.
Can I leave my belongings on the bus?
Please DO NOT leave any valuables on your bus.

SAGINAW, Mich. (AP) — A mid-Michigan filmmaker is showing his documentary about the Purple Gang at a Saginaw historical museum.
"Purple: Organized Crime in a Small Town," will run Friday evening at the Castle Museum of Saginaw County History. Admission is free.
Filmmaker Benjamin Tigner tells Mlive.com (http://bit.ly/11PGMLA ) that he was drawn to explore stories he'd heard about the Eastern European Jewish crime lords who in the 1920s and '30s moved into Clare after its oil boom.
The Purple Gang was a violent group in Detroit that was bootlegging liquor during Prohibition in the 1920s. When Prohibition ended, the group moved into Clare to launder money through the emerging oil fields.
Clare is about 50 miles northwest of Saginaw.
Tigner is a professor of broadcasting and cinematic arts at Central Michigan University.

Opera Mail Sings but It's Sometimes Off-Key
Jun 25, 2013 5:00 AM PT
At one time, all the major browsers had email programs cooked into them. The practice was largely discontinued as webmail became more robust. One holdout -- until recently -- was Opera.
With the introduction of Opera Next, its next-generation browser based on Chromium, Opera has stripped its email program from its Web navigator and given it legs of its own.
A problem with many email programs embedded in browsers is they tend to be lightweight on the feature side. That's not the case with the new free standalone edition of Opera Mail.
The Mac version of Opera Mail has a number of muscular mail-handling features, including creating tabs for individual emails, conversation threading, message labeling and automatic segregation of mailing lists.
Messy Setup
Setting up Opera Mail can be a little nettlesome. Like most email clients these days, it's designed to automatically set up accounts by giving it an email address and password, but every mailbox I set up needed manual intervention.
For Gmail, for example, the Opera Mail choked the first time I tried pulling in mail from the Google service. Admittedly, that was expected, as I have two-factor authentication activated on the account. That requires a unique password to be created to access Gmail with a new program, and I initally tried my true Google password.
After inserting a new unique password furnished by Google into the account setup, though, the connection with Gmail still failed. I had to open the properties window for the account and paste my password into the incoming POP server settings.
Everything worked fine after that -- until I tried to send a message. Then I got another error response. Once again I had to open the account properties window and paste my unique password into a field -- this time in the Outgoing SMTP server settings.
You'd think that by default, the program would be smart enough to use the password in the incoming settings for the outgoing settings, too.
3-Column Approach
The same snag occurred with my Verizon FiOS account. These setup foibles starkly contrast with another new email program I recently reviewed, Airmail, which -- although not supporting POP -- had no trouble auto connecting to IMAP and Gmail accounts.
Once you get an account working, Opera Mail has some nice features, although its basic interface sticks close to Apple's native email program.
- Mail panel and views
- Message list
- Selected message display
- Mail panel selector
- Main menu with options for Opera Mail
- Search mail field
- Show Message Thread icon
- Settings for This View icon
- Mail toolbar
- Default Mail Settings icon
- Closed Tabs icon
It has a three-column layout -- one for folders, message headers and message content.
The folder column is initially divided into sections for all messages, mailing lists, labels and mailbox accounts.
Everything From Every Mailbox
The All Messages section unifies all the mail in all your accounts. You can see all unread and received messages; outbox, sent and draft messages; and those in your spam and trash folders.
There's also a folder for "pinned" items. Messages can be pinned from any account. It's a good device for keeping items that need immediate action in a place where they can be reached quickly.
The mailing list section is a good way to segregate newsletters and other informational material from the bulk of your email.
Mailing list did a good job of figuring out my list subscriptions, but it was not so good at naming them. Most of my lists were tagged with indecipherable letters and numbers.
Mail Labels
Opera Mail's Labels are similar to Flags in Apple's native email program. They allow you to tag items so you can find them when you're looking for them later.
There are a number of ways to flag items. If you control-click on a message, you'll get a menu that lets you choose a label for the message or create a new label for it.
You can also just drag a message to the list of labels appearing in the folder column.
Properties of a label can be changed by control-clicking it in the folder column and choosing its properties.
With properties, you can determine where you want the label to be applied -- to all messages, for example, or to messages in a particular account. You can also decide what the label should be assigned to -- messages with the word "Apple" in the subject, for instance, or "iPhone" in the content of any message.
Time Saver
There are a few more options for labels. You can hide a group of labeled messages from other views -- a good idea for cleaning up visual clutter from your in-box -- and automatically mark a labeled message as read.
No modern email program these days can omit conversation threading, and Opera Mail is no exception. Threaded conversations are useful in keeping a conversation with an email correspondent together -- at least until they decide to alter the subject field.
Another nice feature of Opera Mail is the use of tabbed messaging. When you open a message, it's tabbed at the top of the program's main window. That lets you open several messages at a time and swiftly move among them. Believe me, it's a real time saver.
Time saving is what Opera Mail is all about. It gives you the tools not only to process your email fast, but also to close in on that elusive goal of zero mail in your in-box.

We lease office space to people (companies) who are looking to relocate their business, grow their business, change their current location, etc. We need an eye catching sign that displays our leasing teams contact info so that our buildings can be leased fully. We are in the process of redesigning our website so our current website will not give you much direction but our testing site will: http://test.6ft.com/pmrg.
Anyone driving past an office building or retail center (big or small) who is interested in leasing office space. These signs will be seen across the states in front of the buildings we represent.
Sign must be 4'x8' - vertical. Must contain our logo (typically at the bottom right corner but am open to placement as long as the logo is easily read). Must contain the building address, leasing contact information. I have attached some examples below of our current sign (boring) and some of the signs we have liked but haven't quite caught our attention for final sign-off. Sign must contain our main brand color (PMS 541M) but could also contain supporting colors or Warm Gray 4 or a 66% or 33% shade of 541 M.

Reds don't anticipate much roster movement
CINCINNATI -- The movement of Reds offseason activity has become about as frozen as the near zero-degree temperatures expected in the region.
Part of that can be blamed on the holidays.
CINCINNATI -- The movement of Reds offseason activity has become about as frozen as the near zero-degree temperatures expected in the region.
Part of that can be blamed on the holidays.
"It has been quiet," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said on Friday. "I really don't expect much to happen, if at all, until next week or so. There just hasn't been much talk at all with clubs or agents or anything."
Shin-Soo Choo is gone to Texas as a pricey free-agent departure. At the moment, Billy Hamilton is Choo's replacement as the center fielder and leadoff hitter. But even before Choo's expected departure, Jocketty was seeking a short-term solution to serve as a level of protection for Hamilton,
Now as the calendar flips to 2014 and the second half of the offseason, that box on the checklist remains unchecked.
The reported efforts to acquire Brett Gardner in a trade from the Yankees were unsuccessful. The free-agent market for this type of player is thin, at best.
Perhaps the biggest name on the list is former Indians star Grady Sizemore, who has endured microfracture surgery on both of his knees and hasn't played a game since 2011. Jocketty told MLB.com that Cincinnati has been in touch with Sizemore's representatives.
"We have [talked]," Jocketty said. "I'm not sure where that is right now. With the holidays, not much has happened."
If the 31-year-old Sizemore is healthy -- a big and colossal if -- he could be an interesting addition that could help give Hamilton more time ease into becoming a consistent big league hitter.
Jocketty believed Sizemore was healthy to try resuming his career.
"We think so. He appears to be," the GM said.
During his three straight All-Star seasons from 2006-08, Sizemore batted .279 with a .380 on-base percentage while averaging 28 home runs per season.
Cincinnati did sign free-agent utility player Skip Schumaker to a two-year contract in November, and he could play some of the time in center field. Schumaker, who bats left-handed, is a career .300 hitter with a .357 on-base percentage against right-handed pitching. He might be able to take some of the pressure off Hamilton when the matchup isn't favorable.
Still, the Reds remain quite high on Hamilton and are hoping he can upgrade his skills at the plate enough to take on the job as a big league regular.
"I think we're pretty well set with Hamilton, but we'll continue to see if there are any other options," Jocketty said. "Right now, we're set with giving Billy an opportunity to see what he can do and add his speed and defense to our lineup."
From Friday, there were only 43 days until Reds pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in sunny Goodyear, Ariz. Barring the addition of someone like Sizemore, there's a good chance the makeup of roster will be unchanged.
"There really isn't much more we are in position to do," Jocketty said.
Because of the financial limitations, the Reds weren't expected to make a dynamic free-agent signing and hoped to upgrade via a trade. However, it appears the window for making any deals has all but closed as well.
"It's probably harder to do now than it was earlier. And it was hard enough to do earlier because we couldn't get anything done," Jocketty said. "That could change when people start calling next week. Right now, I don't anticipate anything."

The CCD (Caked Crusader's Da) isn't really a huge dessert fan so when he requested this for Christmas dessert I knew he must have fallen for it in a big way – and I can understand why. He struggles with overly sweet things and panna cotta manages to be satisfying and rich and creamy but with hardly any sugar at all.
This recipe made the silkiest, smoothest most divine panna cotta I've ever tasted...and I've tasted plenty! Very easy to make – much easier than say, a crème brulee but very impressive when served.
Here they are just made, about to set. The vanilla seeds look so pretty:
The one thing I'd say about this recipe is that – for my tastes – there was far too much raspberry sauce; you can probably see that from the photos. I'm setting the recipe out as I made it but next time I make this (oh yes, there will be many 'next times'!) I'd halve the raspberry sauce amount. It does need the raspberry sauce but I served far too much – it needs just a little swoosh on the plate, like you get in restaurants.
One other thing – the recipe said to serve with a sprig of mint...I think you know my view about that!
For the panna cotta:
3 gelatine leaves
250ml milk (anything but skimmed – does that even contain milk?)
250ml double cream
1 vanilla pod, cut open and seeds scraped out
25g caster sugar
For the raspberry sauce:
175g caster sugar
175ml water
350g raspberries
- Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water until they are soft.
- Place the milk, cream, vanilla pod, vanilla seeds and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Discard the vanilla pod.
- Squeeze as much water as you can out of the gelatine leaves and whisk into the creamy mixture. It will dissolve pretty quickly but make sure you've thoroughly whisked it in as you don't want lumps.
- Ladle the mixture into your ramekins (4 large or 6 small) and press a sheet of clingfilm onto the surface of each – this stops a skin forming.
- Leave to cool before refrigerating for at least a couple of hours (overnight is best).
- For the sauce, place the sugar and water into a pan and bring to the boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved. You can tell this by dipping a spoon into the liquid and then checking the back of the spoon for crystals; there shouldn't be any.
- Take the pan from the heat and add the raspberries. Using a hand blender pulp the raspberries until you have a sauce.
- Sieve the sauce to remove the raspberry pips.
- Refrigerate until required.
- To serve turn the panna cotta out into a bowl or onto a plate. I found the easiest way to turn them out was to rapidly shake the ramekins from side to side.
- Spoon the raspberry sauce around the panna cotta and serve.
- Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

From the moment of birth, we learn to breathe and adapt to this ever-changing world, ready for anything. Bring it on. As breathing becomes automatic, so will walking, then talking, riding a bicycle, and driving a car for most people. Some will learn to swim, rope, ride, type, sew, fly and manage a business. Others will try and fail, but learn something.
The continuous process of trying to adapt to oncoming challenge can be described as a learning curve, with time along the bottom of a graph and knowledge along the side. It goes on as long as we do, with time marching on steadily, but knowledge advancing at different rates. There's one overall curve of life's lessons, containing many individual curves.
A learning curve is rarely a straight line, but varies with the challenges we encounter. When something requires a lot of education in a short time, it presents us with a steep learning curve. If we become set in our ways, the curve flattens. One of the keys to success is to keep it steep, but not so steep that we fall back.
Getting into the cattle business can be like taking your first breath all over again. It certainly starts a new and never-ending learning curve. When a family goes into ranching, everyone learns on different slopes. Older members may be way up the hill on business management, but need help from the next generation pulling them up to their level in computerized records or e-mail communications.
If you've been in cattle so long that it has become second nature, you still have to deal with the onrush of change. At the most basic level, there's the weather. The more diversified your operation, the more things can change and initiate new learning curves.
Look up "learning curve" through an Internet search engine and you will find many references to commodity trading and safety training. Both of these can relate to cattle production, but you can imagine several others.
Calving heifers? You'll learn of the need for facilities, vigilance and scouting reports on the genetics. Retaining ownership after weaning? Health becomes more important, and genetic selection must consider postweaning traits. Dust-free facilities and convenient access to a treatment chute become critical.
Buying bulls? Know as much as you can about the bulls before you buy to avoid a steep learning curve about their performance and progeny in your herd. Many people buy in response to market signals, but experience teaches keeping everything in balance.
Mistakes become teachable moments. The beef industry, like each individual, has a common learning curve comprised of attempts to climb, and setbacks. The industry knows what kind of cattle it needs, but its members must confront change and market signals.
Every fad that has swept through the industry has initiated thousands of steep learning curves. Most fads start from a credible base but grow out of control until the lessons are learned and there is remission, or a dynamic balance. To the extent that producers over-correct and jump from one fad to its polar opposite, cynics say the industry's learning curve is more like a pendulum.
Along the many curves, bumps and potholes of learning, success is not always possible. But it helps to imagine that failure is impossible. Psychological studies bear out the wisdom of going into any new endeavor with a positive attitude. Always imagine success, set goals and develop strategies for the specific steps required to win.
Don't just observe, but analyze what is happening. Participate as fully as you can; engage your ambition with regard to the endeavor. Keep records and rate the effectiveness of your strategies.

A lot of modern beauty salons today are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for doing practically anything you wish to be done with your hair from getting a perm to hair coloring, hair extensions, hair straightening, hair re-bonding, hot oil, and so on. Beauty salons also offer a wide range of beauty services aside from hair styling such as manicure, pedicure, facials, massage, hair removal, tanning services, and even full-scale spa treatments.
Types of beauty salons
There are different types of beauty salons and one way to categorize them is by price range: low, middle, and upscale. There are walk-in facilities that do not require an appointment and are usually lower priced than the upscale beauty salons. These types are usually homegrown neighborhood salons and are ideal for the person on-the-go who wants a simple trim or a basic haircut or a wash-and-wear hairstyle. These salons may be a bit limited in their equipment and offer only basic services. The second type-mid-range category-is usually a franchise of a national salon chain. These salons are reputable and are known by trademark throughout the country. For those who want a change of hairstyle but wants to be on the safe side, this is a safe bet because stylists in these salon chains usually undergo strict training and have to pass certain standards before they are allowed to cut and style hair. These types of salons usually offer a wide range of services and are equipped with the latest beauty salon technologies. Upscale boutique salons may also be homegrown or owned by an international or national chain. Naturally, they are pricier and usually have a swanky or hip address. A lot of five-star hotels offer upscale beauty salons where the patrons are in the upper-class range. These salons usually have hairdressers in landau scrubs and provide full-pampering treatments. So if you have the money to spare, it is also god to indulge yourself in these salons once or twice a year.
Beauty salon tips
Sticking with one stylist and beauty salon is ideal for most because developing a relationship with your stylist makes it easier to get things done right; and when it comes to beauty, you want to avoid any errors as much as possible. Choose a stylist that you are comfortable with and one who has a natural instinct for knowing what looks good on you. Hunting for the perfect stylist will also be a matter of budget and proximity. Remember, however, when it comes to your hairstyle, think of it as an investment. Don't scrimp too much when choosing a beauty salon since the right hairstyle can do a lot to make you look gorgeous and a bad one can do a whole lot to wreak havoc to your appearance. Also remember that the best salons are usually already discovered by a lot of people. Word gets around fast when a beauty salon or stylist is worth taking note of. This means that salons or stylists that are worth it are usually booked weeks in advance so don't put off getting an appointment until the last minute.

Divisional class named for College Football Hall of Fame
Clarksville, TN – Former Middle Tennessee State University football coach James "Boots" Donnelly was one of seven people named Thursday to the 2013 Divisional College Football Hall of Fame Class.
The Divisional class considers players and coaches from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, Divisions II, III and the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) for induction.
Joining Donnelly in the class were four former players: Shelby Jordan, Washington University in St. Louis, linebacker (1969-72); Joe Micchia, Westminster College (Pa.), quarterback (1987-89); Art Shell, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, offensive tackle (1964-67); and Jeff Wittman, Ithaca College (N.Y.), fullback (1989-92).
The selections also included two other coaches: Frank Cignetti, who went a combined 199-77-1 (.720) at West Virginia University (1976-79) and Indiana University of Pennsylvania (1986-05); and Jess Dow, who was 108-40-6 (.721) at Southern Connecticut State University (1948-65).
Donnelly compiled a 154-94-1 (.620) career record, going 14-7 in two seasons at Austin Peay State University (1977-78) and 140-87-1 in 20 seasons at Middle Tennessee State (1979-98). He becomes the first Hall of Famer in the history of both schools.
He led Austin Peay to the 1977 Ohio Valley Conference title. At MTSU, his alma mater, he led the Blue Raiders to nine Top 20 regular-season finishes, seven NCAA I-AA (now FCS) playoff appearances and a 31-game home winning streak from 1987-93. He won or shared the OVC title five times and is the only coach in OVC history to win a conference title at two different schools.
The divisional class will be honored during enshrinement ceremonies in August in Atlanta.

Finizio says there was no collusion with Chief Ackley
New London — Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio denied Friday that he and the police chief had worked together to make sure Finizio won the November election over City Councilor Michael Buscetto III.
"I did not conspire with the police chief to take down Michael Buscetto,'' Finizio said during an interview in his office in City Hall.
The mayor was responding to rumors and innuendos flying around town that he colluded with police Chief Margaret Ackley so he would win the election, and to a reference in a column by Day columnist David Collins in Thursday's edition that alleged Finizio may have known in August that Ackley was going to accuse Buscetto of interfering in her department and threaten to resign.
"This is a political fight and I'm not having it,'' he said, explaining why he provided the newspaper with a sworn affidavit outlining three encounters he had with Ackley during the campaign and explaining what they talked about. He also provided a string of emails between himself and Ackely and others between himself and gadfly Kathleen Mitchell.
Finizio said he had met with Ackley three times during the campaign, that he hadn't known in advance about accusations Ackley leveled against Buscetto last August or about a confidential retirement contract Ackley signed with former City Manager Denise Rose.
"Here it is,'' he said of the emails and sworn statement. "Maybe it will stop the conspiracy theories and speculation.''
In the affidavit, which was signed Friday, Finizio said he met with Ackley in January 2011, shortly after he announced he was running for mayor, for about an hour to discuss police policies.
The affidavit states that he did not meet her again until Aug. 10 — the day Ackley met in a closed door session with the City Council. Finizio said he saw the chief as he was leaving the New London post office earlier that day and talked to her for a couple of minutes. He told her he had heard rumors that she was going to resign, and "I told her that the election was not over and that she should not resign but wait to see the results of the election.''
He met Ackley for the third time, he said, the night of the Sept. 13 primary, when he beat Buscetto for the Democratic Town Committee nomination. The chief showed up outside the Brass Rail on Bank Street, where Finizio and his supporters were celebrating his victory. She got out of the car and hugged him and then drove away.
Finizio said he did not talk to the chief again until election night, when he drove to her house after his victory and had a one-minute conversation with her on the street.
"I believe she had been facing very tough institutional resistance,'' Finizio said Friday, adding that he wanted her to know he supported her and her attempts to modernize the department and bring in community-policing policies.
In a series of emails during the campaign, Finizio extended several invitations to Ackley, including one to attend a public-safety discussion he had in March 2011 and another in September, asking her to dinner at his house, "… if you don't find it inappropriate,'' the email reads. The chief declined both invitations.
In October the chief sent Finizio an email saying she would not accept a dinner invitation until after the election because she did not want to cause "any issues" for Finizio.
"Rumor has it there are photos of you and I meeting and socializing to plan Buscetto's demise,'' the chief wrote. "Since you and I both know that is not true, I guess we have nothing to worry about.''
She added, "Stay strong and don't underestimate the good ol' boy system in New London."
Finizio characterized a set of emails with Mitchell on Aug. 10 as "political talk between two people on the same political side." At the time, he said, Mitchell was campaigning for him.
Mitchell wrote to Finizio and Lori Hopkins-Cavanagh, who also was running for mayor, saying there was a special City Council meeting that night and "Mike B and his cohorts" were not going to force the chief out of her job.
Finizio wrote back to Mitchell and said that he had spoken with the chief and had urged her to "wait at least 4 more weeks …. I'm on the primary ballot and my door to door has convinced me Mike may be in for a big big BIG surprise.'' He called Buscetto a "stinking bully" and urged Mitchell to go to the meeting and "… get under his skin … make him be his usual loud self while the media is watching.'' He said he would not attend the meeting because "it may hurt the chief."
Finizo said Friday he wrote the remarks in the heat of the moment. There was no "dark and nefarious'' attempt to conspire to "get Buscetto," he said.
Finizio said he is not surprised by the recent criticisms and accusations. Since he's taken office in December, he has fired two officers, one resigned, two police captains retired and the one-year contract of the deputy chief was not renewed.
"We've done a lot,'' he said.

Find housing authorities, departments, and HUD. Housing authorities provide information on section 8 public housing, rentals, applications, eligibility, affordable, low income, subsidized fair housing, hud homes, housing projects, and section 42 tax credits.
A Housing Authority is a local agency established to construct, own, operate, and manage public housing and other forms of subsidized housing for low-income residents. Local ordinances establish Housing Authorities, and the local legislative body or its chief elected official usually appoints their Board of Commissioners. Beyond that, Housing Authorities generally operate relatively autonomously from the local government. There are approximately 3,300 Housing Authorities in the United States, which manage over one million housing units.
The single largest subsidized housing program in the country is the federal Public Housing Program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Public Housing Program was established to provide safe, decent rental housing to eligible low-income residents. Housing Authorities receive operating subsidies and capital improvement funds from HUD to create, own, and manage public housing developments for eligible residents. Eligible residents pay below market rent for the housing, which is usually no more than 30% of their income.
Depending on the Housing Authority, a wide range of housing types may be offered through the Public Housing Program, including high rise apartment buildings, townhomes, and single family homes. HUD exercises a high degree of oversight, setting rules for public housing eligibility and creating standards and procedures for local Housing Authority management of public housing.
Housing Authorities also administer the Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly referred to as Section 8 housing. Section 8 vouchers are used by recipients to rent apartments in participating privately owned rental units. The property owner receives market rate rent for the unit, but the tenant's rental payment is limited to no more than 30% to 40% of their income. The Housing Authority pays the balance of the rent to the property owner.
In addition to capital funding from HUD, Housing Authorities may use a mix of non-profit, private, or state and local funding to pay for new or redeveloped housing. Depending on the mix of funding, some developments may set aside a percentage of units for middle-income tenants. Housing Authorities also offer rent-to-own programs that allow residents to convert rental payments into mortgage payments.

A Taunton firefighter has organized fundraisers and events that benefitted those in need locally and throughout the country.
A Taunton firefighter has organized fundraisers and events that benefitted those in need locally and throughout the country.
Taunton firefighter Paul Allison was voted as this year's the Taunton Daily Gazette Reader's Choice Newsmaker of the Year 2013.
The readers' pick was decided by a poll conducted at www.TauntonGazette.com during the month of December.
"It's easy for me to organize things when someone needs a hand because I have so many nice people to call on," said the humble Allison, a lifelong Taunton resident who joined the Taunton Fire Department more than 20 years ago. "I'm lucky enough to know so many people. Apparently, they make me look good … This (recognition) is unbelievable. Wow, I'm surprised. It's quite the honor."
Allison is known around the community for being the quiet face behind many charity and disaster relief fundraisers in the city, in addition to other events and initiatives to honor veterans and active U.S. military service members.
Each year, Allison gathers a team of firefighters, friends and family to volunteer each year around Labor Day collecting money at the Taunton Green as part of the "Fill the Boot" campaign to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Allison said that it's the firefighters' national charity, and that it's important to help out children who struggle with muscular dystrophy (MD). Allison said the events with which the Taunton Fire Department has been involved, have allowed department members to meet children who are struggling from MD, a muscle disease that results in progressive skeletal muscle weakness.
"You meet the children and families and you see them, whether early in illness when they seem like just regular kids, and you watch as the years progress they end up in wheelchairs, passing away," Allison said. "I've seen this. It's devastating. It's touching to be involved with the MDA."
Earlier this year, Allison helped Taunton resident Kelly Moreno organize a 5K run to support her cousin and his wife, Boston Marathon bombing victims Patrick and Jessica Downes.
The event drew a big crowd at the Myles Standish Industrial Park in early June.
Allison is also the man behind the annual "Luminary" event in downtown Taunton, coinciding with Veterans Day weekend. The event, which has been held on Church Green, involves the lighting of candles, placed inside colored paper bags, creating the effect of a glowing American flag.
During the event, the names of U.S. service members who were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are projected onto a screen. The "Luminary" has also featured fundraisers to raise money for severely wounded veterans.
Allison said one of the reasons he helps organize the event is the memory of Taunton's Shane Duffy, a soldier who died in Iraq in 2008. Duffy was the son of Allison's fellow firefighter, Kevan Duffy.
"I think I just really admire what these kids go and do," Allison said. "They are just kids, but they go off and do a very difficult job without complaining. Unfortunately, bad things happen sometimes. But it's nice to support all the veterans for what they've done for us."
Allison was also an active supporter of the Memorial Marker Committee in Taunton, which put a memorial marker on each veteran's grave in the city with a memorial marker, making it easier to plant American flags.
Allison said World War II veteran Don French, of Dighton, inspired him to help.
"Just seeing the passion this man had, wanting those markers out there, I thought it was a great idea," Allison said. "That's how the firefighters ended up helping him. We had so many veterans in the fire department, too."
Allison was also behind several impromptu fundraisers throughout the years in response to natural disasters throughout the nation, including Hurricane Katrina, tornadoes that ravaged Oklahoma earlier this year, and the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts in 2012.
"God led me to the right place, an avenue to serve people and try to do the right thing," Allison said. "The fire department is always behind me with whatever I do. I do what I can to support the firefighters and the community."

Thank this author by sharing:
By Steve Jones,
We did a survey of SQL Server 2005 Adoption rates because I'd seen some other press that 70% of organizations had adopted it. I thought that was way high, especially considering my 6-7 friends haven't done it at all.
So I decided to try and put out a survey of adoption and designed it to try and separate the installs in dev from production. The raw results are below, but here are a few conclusions based on the results.
The bad first and then the good.
One of the reasons I often see for upgrading is the amazing enhancements in the ETL portion of SQL Server with Integration Services. It's a true programming environment, so the developers can actually use a .NET like, Visual Studio-type environment to build complex data movement packages.
Conversely, those sites that are DTS heavy, that have complicated packages built will often site this as a reason NOT to upgrade. It seems the radical change has created a dual-edged sword where many people don't want their investment in DTS to disappear.
For those of you holding back, and I'm not saying you need to upgrade, think about the fact that DTS packages can run on a 2000 server. There's a runtime environment you can install. Not sure about how you edit these packages (maybe keep a SS2K workstation around), but it's an option.
One of the biggest factors that I see mentioned for not upgrading is the cost. An upgrade license of SQL Server 2005 costs real, hard dollars for a company and there's not necessarily a big benefit. If you aren't moving to new hardware, or don't have the need for a specific feature of 2005 that can lower other costs in your company, then the upgrade cost is a hard sell.
There was a good flaw in the survey in that it appears that a number of ISVs or software vendors answered and perhaps skewed the survey. They're willing to absorb the upgrade cost because once they bring out the next version of their software supporting 2005, they can push customers to upgrade and get their own revenue.
A decent percentage of people also mentioned 3rd party applications that were not yet certified. That's another cost item you have to consider because the cost of upgrading your application along with the database server can be significant.
The list of new features is long in SQL Server 2005 and it seems that many people think this is a worthy upgrade. I see 64-bit mentioned often and it's a big step. If you have the chance to buy new hardware, I'd seriously consider a large, 64-bit server with lots of RAM and then consolidating servers.
The CLR is mentioned, but I haven't seen any really cool production reasons mentioned. It seems CTEs are garnering more excitement now than the CLR. However in either case, along with TRY-CATCH, there are some very handy and cool new programming features.
I haven't heard anyone complain about Reporting Services 2005 being less desirable than Reporting Services 2000. It seems that anyone that wants to build a reporting server should seriously consider SS2K5. And send a thank you note to Brian Welcker
I could go on and on, but if you are looking at an SOA architecture implementation, then you might want to think about Service Broker and the new web services features of 2005.
I think this one sums it up nicely:
SQL Server 2000 does everything my company needs.
I've heard this so many times that I think my survey has serious flaws to be reporting a 50% adoption rate. We just upgraded here at SQLServerCentral.com, but only because we migrated to new servers and it was worth the test to see if it would work. It did and we're in 2000 compatibility mode on a 2005 server that works great.
I like 2005, but as a business owner, it seems that in most of the places I've worked it wasn't worth the upgrade. But I think that is what Microsoft is looking for in many cases. They need to keep marching forward and we need to upgrade to keep up with new versions and maintain support. It's a tough cycle, but it's one that also keeps companies moving forward on technology, finding new ways to implement it in their businesses.
I'm not sold on a 2-3 year cycle, but I think a 4-5 year one does make some sense. So I'm thinking that if you upgrade every other version, either SQL 7 -> 2005 now or SQL Server 2000 -> SQL Server 2008, then you have some stability, but you also stay within the support window.
I'll build a few more surveys to try and get some more details about what's really happening in the world. So here's my recommendation:
We had 610 results as of Friday when I started the analysis. I'm giving the questions below and the results:
Sql Server 2008 - To upgrade or not to upgrade
Why companies should upgrade their databases to SQL Server 2005.

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — On days during the NBA Finals when there are no games being played, the NBA organizes what is called Media Availability. Basically, each team takes a turn facing the assembled media, answering a similar gauntlet of questions about the game that just happened or the game that is about to occur.
One day last weekend in Miami, I decided to ask Chris Andersen, the Birdman, about his take on NBA style. We've seen how he's evolved, but we haven't really heard him speak on it. So I sidled up to him during media availability, asked him a few questions, had a laugh, and moved on. It was a short exchange, basically a minute long, so I wasn't really sure what to do with the video. Post it? Or just forget about it?
I ended up forgetting about it until this morning, when I was perusing Getty and came across this photo of the Birdman's arrival to Game 5…
I guess this conforms to the NBA Dress Code? Actually, it reminds me of my favorite reality star on TV, Uncle Si from "Duck Dynasty." (Hey!)
Either way, I guess we call the look "cool…cool."

I've had the privilege of working with IBM's Security Systems and Services teams over the past two years looking at the evolution of security leadership and what security leaders, like the CISO, are going to need to look like in the future. We've also looked at leading practices in cybersecurity education and we've identified essential security practices for CIOs based on our experiences at IBM.
Have a strategic vision… ensure global consistency in policy… engage in lots of communication with business leaders… speak business value and understand risk… minimize the impact of security to the business… be on the bleeding edge of enterprise and consumer technology…
A set of challenges also emerged from the interviews we conducted. Although we targeted more mature security leaders, they are still struggling in three areas.
- How do I best manage a broad set of concerns from a diverse set of business stakeholders?
Security leaders that are engaged with the business have to deal with a number of security fears from the C-Suite. The CEO might be most worried about losing customer trust because of a breach, the CFO might worry about the financial impact of recovery, COOs might focus on the impact of operational downtime. Good security leaders are able to balance, manage and allay all of these concerns.
- How do I improve mobile security policy and management – not just deploy the latest technology?
It's no surprise that mobile security is top of mind. It was identified as a top technology concern in last year's Assessment and continues to be at the forefront. Most are enabling secure mobile deployments in their organizations, but fewer have achieved comprehensive policies or strategies for personally owned devices.
- How do I translate security metrics into the language of the business to help guide strategy?
Technical and business metrics need to be used for more than just budget discussions and technology prioritization, they need to be deeply integrated into the decision making process of the business. To get to that point, security metrics must be translated into things the business will understand, like financial impact.
