Charming is the word that comes to mind when arriving at Comtesse Therese Bistro in Aquebogue. Extraordinary is the word I'd choose to describe it after having a meal there.
The Comtesse Therese Winery added a French bistro almost three years ago when Chef Arie Pavlou set up his kitchen and began cooking classical French dishes with local ingredients.
We began with a glass of Comtesse Therese Russian Oak Chardonnay, which was slightly sweet and very mellow with an easy, pleasant finish. It went perfectly with our meal, which started off with fresh-from-the-oven French rolls, sprinkled with fresh herbs—oregano, thyme and marjoram.
Next, Chef surprised us with a traditional French delicacy—escargot. If you've never had the opportunity to try escargot (yes, I'm talking about snails) I would recommend you give Chef Pavlou's a try. Cooked with butter, garlic and fresh herbs the plump morsels of snail were moist, tender and just about melted in my mouth.
The heady flavor of garlic and butter mix with the earthy flavor of the escargot to create a tasty mouthful.
Next we tried a baby octopus and mesclun salad with zesty lemon vinaigrette. The octopus was cooked perfectly, the edges crispy-crunchy and the meat inside tender. The lemon zing from the dressing paired wonderfully with the octopus, and I loved the fresh herbs Chef used, giving the salad a very refreshing quality.
Continuing our bistro journey, Chef treated us to his pan-seared Hudson Valley Moulard foie gras, served with a delectable morel mushroom sauce. This duck liver was easily the best I've ever eaten, cooked and seasoned with such skill and care— its buttery texture had me closing my eyes, as I ascended to foodie heaven.
For the next course, we tried two soups. The tomato and Asiago cheese soup with sliced almonds was topped with a fabulous dome of flaky puff pastry. As you break through the pastry, a blast of tomato and cheese aroma gets your mouth watering.
It's tomato soup for the adult diner, and we enjoyed every bite. We also tried the soup du jour, featuring fresh asparagus from the farmstand just down the road. The soup had the essence of asparagus and was surprisingly light for a cream soup. There were adorable discs of asparagus that were incredibly delicious floating throughout. Topped with a fat stalk of tender asparagus and served in a white porcelain bowl, the soup was beautiful to look at and my pleasure to eat.
For our main courses, we chose the Crescent Farms crispy duck leg and the lamb shank confit. Chef gets his duck fresh from the neighboring Crescent Duck Farm. The skin was perfectly crisp, and had that wow factor when it hit my taste buds—another blissful foodie moment. Served with that delectable asparagus was a tower of rich and creamy scalloped potatoes. The lamb shank was tender and full of flavor, nearly falling off the bone and was paired with an earthy, rich Madeira sauce.
As if all that French food wasn't enough, there was dessert. Chef makes his own mint chocolate chip ice cream from the fresh mint that grows all around the bistro. It was the best mint chocolate chip ice cream I've ever eaten. It was like a crescendo of mint in my mouth, and I'm sure I'll be daydreaming of it.
We tried the tart du jour, which had fresh, local blueberries and a crust made with almond paste, served with fresh whipped cream. It was delicious: the blueberries bursting in my mouth, paired with a nutty, crunchy pastry crust and pure, delicious whipped cream. The apple tarte tatin was French pastry perfection—a tower of tender apples atop a smooth shortbread crust, served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and a fragrant mint garnish.
The apples were warm with flavors of cinnamon and vanilla, and a drizzle of caramel lent a hint of nuttiness. Chef also had us taste the housemade chocolate truffle ice cream, which was quite simply ice cream perfection, and I would buy it buy the gallon if he sold it. Rich, creamy, smooth and decadently chocolate, you simply must try it.
We didn't go home empty handed—Chef also makes chocolate truffles that are sold by the quarter pound. I saved them for later, when I need some French-inspired comfort.
This restaurant is sure to be a staple on the North Fork for many years to come.

For the longest time it was the only place in the world where I always knew the exact location of the Big Dipper. As an awkward pre-teen, and teen, I spent at least one Saturday night there a summer. The incline of the hill just the perfect angle for stargazing. As I got older I could still spot it, to the bottom left, just above the 'Boys' bathroom, standing now instead of laying down. Generally speaking, they were always the same thing. The same ironic nostalgia, nothing current, that wasn't the point. Eventually the clothes grew as ridiculous and gaudy as the music. Dressing up as a competition. Who can wear more differing prints? More neon? More costume jewelry? More sunglasses at night? More androgyny?
A dark and muggy night like so many others. The colored ropes and Christmas lights blazing. Tiki torches. Not taking requests. Before the switch to Ipods. For the life of me I can't remember the song that came on before it. Of the cordoned off and encircled space, the least available could be found directly in front of the DJ Booth. A volleyball court, a full size basketball court, the perfectly slanted hill in between, and 3 by 12 feet of dried out and browning grass on the other side of both. The first electronic notes hit and there is no mass convergence inspired by something so out of character. This isn't Bon Jovi or the Spice Girls. The crowd slowly gets its bearings, as certain people start to recognize what's happening. It's the kind of music that makes you lose your job as DJ. Radiohead. The early 2000s uniter, to some. The jam kids and the trustafarians, the punks, the hip-hop kids, the suburban and oblivious, they all collectively seem to have no problem with the band still. Perhaps because they were mislabeled for years as the next Pink Floyd. It's starting to get really dark now. The crowd descends into the 3 by 12 space of former grass, slowly but en mass, and they don't dance. They don't stand still. They don't mosh or pogo. There is no skanking or lip synching or air-synth jamming. The gathering crowd simply ceases to be single entities. Moving as a whole, up and down, to the constant electronic drum beat. 'WHO'S IN BUNKER, WHO'S IN BUNKER." The outfits, the rest of the nights music, including the perpetual last dance 'American Pie,' where your friends are, where your girl went, it doesn't matter. No one lacking control of their facilities, most underage. A strange song for some standards. And yet, it inspires a reaction on a level never seen since. 5 minutes in the woods. Hours until the nearest city. Dial-up only internet. Piles of CDs in binders supplying the music, a stereo borrowed from a low wattage radio station.

I did it!
I went back to the gym! I actually started on Monday, hoping to meet up with my new Personal trainer (PT). But he wasn't around coz I had to change my schedule the last minute. Just talked to the consultant and she also offered options for my bro. Yup! We're doing this together. On Monday, I just did some cardio and lotsa crunches (have an event on Saturday, and I badly need to fit in my dress!!). Today was my Fitness Test. I had to do it again coz I stopped going to the gym for a long time, remember? I'm still aching in the middle...did more crunches today! I was told today that I still have 35 PT sessions left, yay! So I'm gonna be working my a*s off in the next few weeks. I just hope I can keep going back for my sessions. I start officially on Friday.
The OB said I should lose at least 15lbs. The Consultant says 20! Oh my! Extra effort! On a happier note, I already lost 2lbs (and keeping it that way), just by watching my calorie intake (for the last two weeks). I get hungry all the time but it's good that I can stop myself from eating too much.
Will update you every now and then about thie "battle". Wish me luck! :)

Missing Body of Baton Rouge Man found on Louisiana's Bogue Chitto River
OutdoorHub 01.29.12
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Enforcement Division agents found the body of a missing man on the Bogue Chitto River in St. Tammany Parish this morning, Jan. 28.
Agents recovered the body of William Holloway, 63, at 8 a.m. from the river around a mile in a half downriver from where they found his capsized vessel on Dec. 28, 2011. Campers near the Bogue Chitto River alerted LDWF agents of Holloway's body in the river this morning. Search teams found his wife, Kathy Holloway, 61, on Jan. 12 about a quarter of a mile from the capsized vessel.
LDWF agents along with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office (STSO) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) have searched for the couple since Dec. 28 when a passing boater on the Bogue Chitto found a capsized vessel at 10 a.m. The last known contact the Holloways had was at 3 p.m. on Dec. 27. The Holloways were camping on the Bogue Chitto NWR.
The 14-foot aluminum flat bottom boat was found about a mile from the boat launch at Lock No. 3 Road on the Pearl River Navigational Canal. LDWF retrieved the boat and is investigating the cause of this boating incident.
Search crews deployed sonar technology to search the water, helicopters to search the surrounding land and banks, dragging equipment and search dogs.
Kathy and William's bodies have been turned over to the St. Tammany Parish Coroner's Office for autopsy to determine official causes of death.

Hundreds of Palestinian refugees gathered in front of the United Nations Relief and Work Agency's (UNRWA) headquarters in Gaza City Sunday in protest against its recent decision to reduce education and support services provided to Gazan refugees as a result of an unprecedented financial crisis that has been tormenting the UN agency since the beginning of this year.
UNRWA officials reported that the agency has enough funds to maintain its essential services such as public health protection, children immunisations and sanitary and relief programmes until the end of 2015. However, it will not be able to guarantee stable education support come September.
Following an emergency session of the Advisory Commission held in Jordan last week, UNRWA announced that it may be forced to delay the beginning of the new academic year in over 700 schools, which would affect nearly half a million children across the Middle East.
"The justifications circulated by UNRWA are groundless and unacceptable, adding that such measures are nothing but a political game designed to damage the education sector under the guise of financial and technical difficulties," reads a Hamas press statement.
Ziad al-Sarafandi, a spokesman to the Rafah refugee camp's community said in a speech on Sunday that, "Israelis and the West have been working for years to end UNRWA," and now they seem to be close to achieving their goals, Ma'an News Agency reported.
UNRWA has been faced with "the most severe financial crises ever" operating on a $585-million shortfall this year, which has already forced the agency to separate 85 percent of its international personnel employed on short-term contracts and close its temporary shelters in Gaza.
Hamas has warned that these measures will, "only worsen the already aggravated situation in all areas where Palestinian refugees exist, which could result in things spinning out of control," read Hamas' press statement released last week.
The Islamic resistance movement also demanded the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) assume its responsibilities toward Palestinian refugees and act in their favour, alluding to resettlement of displaced Palestinians in their original hometowns and realizing their right of return.
Meanwhile, the Khair Foundation, the UK's third largest Muslim charity, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with UNRWA, in which it vowed to provide £500,000 in support of youth's education in the Gaza Strip.
Simultaneously, UNRWA has launched a new #SOS4Gaza fundraising campaign hoping to acquire additional funding that would enable it to continue in providing assistance and basic services to approximately 80 percent of Gazans who depend almost entirely on foreign aid.

What is the UC Student Investment Proposal?
Within the past decade, UC students have suffered from egregious increases in tuition costs. In 2011, the State of California cut $650 million in UC system funding and decreased its total support to the system by 21.3 percent. These cuts were met, yet again, with tuition hikes by the UC, and tuition for the 2011-2012 school year rose nearly 18 percent from last year's. UC tuition has nearly quadrupled over the last decade alone.
In an effort to combat the increasing financial burdens facing students of the University of California, Fix UC has designed a comprehensive plan for the restructuring of the system by which students pay for their education. The UC Student Investment Plan will make it possible for students to attend the UC without paying any upfront costs whatsoever.
After they graduate and get jobs, UC alumni will pay a static percentage (based on 5%) of their salaries for 20 years of employment. Because payments are based on salary, no UC graduate will have to reckon with fees that he or she cannot afford. Students will no longer be held hostage by unmanageable loan payments with fluctuating interest rates and strict deadlines.
Under the Student Investment Plan, graduates will only ever have to pay a stable, predictable fraction of the money they make – that means no loans and no debt. The plan will also garner the UC enough additional revenue to free it from complete dependence on state funding and make room for long-term institutional growth. The purpose of the plan is to reestablish the UC as an affordable option for all qualified California students while gradually reducing its reliance on undependable state monies.
For an in-depth look into the UC Student Investment Proposal, refer to the proposal document and data report. If you feel that the UC needs to implement a new, permanent funding model, let the UC regents know by signing our petition.

Arizona wants to expand its Snowbowl Ski Resort and is working with the Forest Service to find a way to make it happen. The solution? Use reclaimed poop water to get that powder you need. Gross! Except the poop might not be the problem.
You recall that there's the whole issue of psychological contagion, right? It makes the gross stay gross even after it has been cleansed of whatever makes it gross. Like how purified water will stay dirty in the minds, say, whole communities when it doesn't really present a health/ickiness issue. That's what's happening here. According to Mother Jones, environmental agencies and Native American councils have been up in arms against the move, claiming it endangers the ecological and cultural integrity of the landscape there. And, admittedly, skiing on frozen poo already sounds kinda nasty.
But there's another issue at work here. Rather, it's what might be in the snow after it's been cleansed. According to an analysis conducted by Dr Catherine Propper and her associates at Flagstaff's Rio de Flag treatment facility, treated water can contain "hormones, steroids, and household and industrial compound". None of which sounds particularly good for you.
However, there are still no known adverse effects this effluent can have on people. More study is needed in that area, but you can still expect people to get riled up about it. My guess? Maybe just let the snow alone. [Forester Press, Mother Jones]

The vast majority of all eukaryotic mRNA-precursors are 3' processed by cleavage and polyadenylation. The Cleavage and Polyadenylation Specificity Factor (CPSF) is a multi-protein complex, crucial for both 3' processing reactions.
The first components of mammalian CPSF have been purified and characterised in the early 90's. However, reconstitution attempts with recombinant proteins failed so far, so the actual composition of mammalian CPSF still remains elusive.
Using a baculoviral expression system optimized for expression of multi-protein complexes, we are making another attempt at reconstitution. We want to express, purify and characterise all known, as well as putative subunits of mammalian CPSF and identify the proteins that provide the functions of CPSF in cleavage and polyadenylation of eukaryotic mRNA-precursors.

'Who,' 'Wild Things,' 'Avengers' loom 50 years later
- Quality has kept many pop-culture franchises alive through 50 years
- %27Doctor Who%27 has thrived on change since 1963
- Avengers and X-Men started on the comic-book page and now rule the box office
The year 1963 had some hugely seminal historic moments — the March on Washington, the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas — but it also launched pop-culture touchstones that have maintained their relevance for 50 years.
Multimedia franchises such as Doctor Who, the Avengers and the X-Men, plus books such as Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, have staying power because there is a high level of quality inherent with them, according to Rob Weiner, associate pop-culture librarian at Texas Tech University Library.
"Who cares about Doc Savage or The Shadow today?" he says of the pulp heroes of the 1930s and '40s. "I think they're really cool, but most young people aren't going to care. But I guarantee you people will go see The Avengers 2, and Doctor Who is hotter than it's ever been."
Iron Man, the Avengers and the X-Men rule the box office as superhero movies have proven more and more financially powerful in recent years, yet in '63 they were just creative comic-book musings hatched in Marvel Comics' New York City office by writer Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
The Avengers have featured a revolving door of characters over the years to become Marvel Entertainment's biggest brand, and the mutant members of the X-Men have long been a product of their era.
"They were always a metaphor for tolerance and civil rights and diversity, and we're still wrestling with those issues 50 years later," Weiner says. "There are still some things in society that the X-Men provide potent lessons for, and we're on the verge of next summer getting another X-Men movie."
Where the Wild Things Are has long spurred children's imaginations while also telling a memorable story of a youngster's anger vs. a parent's love. Encyclopedia Brown also tapped into kids' problem-solving skills for the first of many mysteries in 1963, a year that also featured the debuts of Pierre Boulle's Planet of the Apes (which spawned the classic sci-fi movie) and Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut's literary take on the global arms race of the times.
On TV, Wild Kingdom set the stage for years of tuning into animals in their natural habitat — there is still a version of the show airing on Animal Planet — and at the cinema, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World mastered the "epic comedy" template of Around the World in 80 Days seven years earlier and set the stage for the later cameo-filled hijinks of 1941, The Blues Brothers and The Cannonball Run.
Meanwhile with The Birds, director Alfred Hitchcock created a classic horror-movie villain out of a seemingly innocuous animal, foreshadowing the likes of Cujo. While the popular notion is that it was all downhill for him after 1960's Psycho, The Birds is both highly underrated and enormously important, according to Piers D. Britton, associate professor of visual and media studies at the University of Redlands.
"It represented a way of doing mainstream filmmaking that was very daring and really seriously engaging with all kinds of art-house films in Europe," Britton says. "That's had a huge impact on what we could imagine and wrap our heads around as filmgoers since."
Doctor Who — which premiered on Britain's BBC network on Nov. 23, 1963, one day after JFK was killed — was influential for years in Britain and in international waters. Now, though, in America the Doctor has risen from niche cult fandom to one of the top characters in science fiction and geek culture: Saturday's 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor will be globally simulcast (2:50 p.m ET/11:50 a.m. PT) on BBC America and also 3-D theater screens across the country.
"Conceptually, a guy who time-travels in a phone booth? That's still quirky enough to be pretty cool," Weiner says.
With its habit of in-story character "regeneration" — the Doctor mantle has passed on screen between 11 actors, with a 12th later this year — Britton feels Doctor Who is perhaps the ultimate example of a pop-culture vehicle of a bygone era that thrives on being reinvented.
"Whereas in many series the resignation of a lead character is problematic and you have to recast or change the story, Doctor Who is actually built around the principle of change," says Britton, the author of TARDISbound: Navigating the Universes of Doctor Who.
"It epitomizes the way in which all kinds of media we've seen rise to prominence in the last 50 years do best when they are open and allow for changes and shift and mutation."
Another reason many of these franchises still loom large in the zeitgeist is because the early 1960s was a birthplace of fandom — people began to find others who shared their loves (sci-fi, comics, etc.) in a way that was a precursor to today's social media, Britton says. "It boosted this kind of interactivity that has become the norm."

Parents of Kids with Infectious Diseases (PKIDs) announces the launch of its national educational campaign, "No More Meningitis."
The campaign warns parents that meningitis is a rare but deadly infection that can kill within hours. If a person is lucky, it lingers, taking a leg or a kidney but leaving them with their life.
Taking the steps to prevent infection is a must for families.
Anyone can become infected, but it's most common in babies under the age of one, and in teens and young adults between the ages of 16 and 21.
The outbreaks of meningitis at university campuses are a reminder that there are vaccines to fight multiple strains, but they're not being fully utilized.
Meningitis can be a swift and vicious infection, but each year, only about half of teens get immunized against this disease.
"As parents, we need to make sure our babies and our teens and young adults get the protection they deserve. Our older kids are at greater risk of becoming infected with bacterial meningitis when living in close quarters with large groups of people, such as youth campers, dorm residents, or military barrack inhabitants," said Trish Parnell, director of PKIDs.
Also at risk are individuals whose immune systems are compromised, travelers to regions where meningococcal disease is common, and people exposed to others who are currently infected and infectious.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 600-1,000 Americans get meningitis every year. Of those infected, 10-15 percent will die. Even if the disease is quickly diagnosed and treated, 11-19 percent of survivors will experience life-changing consequences, such as loss of hearing or limbs, strokes, or seizures.
Because meningitis initially mimics flu symptoms, it can be hard to diagnose it in time to save a life.
The viruses and bacteria that cause meningitis can spread in many ways, including through a kiss or a cough, a sneeze or a sip on a shared straw.
The campaign stresses these simple ways to avoid infection:
- Wash your hands.
- Keep your hands off of your nose, mouth, and eyes.
- Don't share items like food, forks, lipstick—anything that can transfer germs from another person's mouth to your own.
- Get immunized. There are several germs that cause meningitis, and there are several vaccines offering protection. Ask your provider which vaccines are appropriate for your age and immunization history.
- Keep your immune system strong by doing these things—exercise, eat healthy, and get plenty of sleep.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes to avoid spreading infections that you may have.
"Too many parents, including me, have lost children to this disease," stated Lynn Bozof, President of the National Meningitis Association. "I don't know how my son contracted the disease, but my guess is that someone, who was a carrier, coughed or sneezed on him. It's as simple as that. Common-sense precautions, and most importantly, vaccination, are a necessity."
PKIDs' "No More Meningitis" campaign reaches out through social media platforms and a website, http://www.pkids.org/meningitis, to educate the public on meningitis and how to prevent infection.
Through the use of videos, posters, and fresh informative materials, the public's questions about meningitis are answered with clarity, and the need to use immunization as a strong tool to prevent infection is made clear.
"The mission of PKIDs is to educate the public about effective disease prevention practices," said Parnell. "With the 'No More Meningitis' campaign, PKIDs hopes to prevent the spread of meningitis and protect our children, no matter their age."
Please visit our site and use the images and other materials to encourage your community to immunize against meningitis.

Arms vendors turn to cyber security as sales drop
STOCKHOLM (AP) — The world's largest arms vendors are expanding in the cybersecurity sector as austerity measures weigh on sales of traditional weapons, a Swedish peace research institute said Monday.
Sales by the 100 largest arms producing companies, excluding Chinese companies, fell by 5 percent to $410 billion in 2011, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said in its annual review of the industry.
The drop was mainly due to austerity measures and the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, SIPRI said, but pointed out that cybersecurity has remained a privileged spending area for governments despite budget cuts.
"Cybersecurity has become a top national security issue and there has been a lot of discussion about that over the last years," SIPRI cybersecurity expert Vincent Boulanin said. "Countries are willing to gear up to face potential cyberthreats from other countries or private actors."
Cybersecurity first became a major issue following the attack against Estonia in 2007 that used thousands of infected computers to cripple dozens of government and corporate websites, Boulanin said. Since then, numerous attacks have occurred that have increased the demand for security products, including the recent Chinese hacker attacks against The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
Boulanin said arms dealers are taking advantage of these developments to expand into new fields and are acquiring smaller companies to get hold of the necessary technical expertise. The ventures mainly involve services for data and network protection, testing and simulation, training and consulting and operational support.
SIPRI also said U.S.-based Lockheed Martin remained the biggest arms vendor in 2011, with arms sales of $36.27 billion, while Boeing overtook Britain's BAE Systems as the second largest weapons merchant.
Here's SIPRI's list of the top 10 arms vendors in 2010 (2009 ranking in parenthesis):
1. Lockheed Martin, U.S, $36.27 billion (1).
2. Boeing, U.S., $31.83 billion (3).
3. BAE Systems, Britain, $29.15 billion (2).
4. General Dynamics, U.S., $23.76 billion (5).
5. Raytheon, U.S., $22.47 billion (6).
6. Northrop Grumman, U.S., $21.39 billion (4).
7. EADS, Trans-European, $16.39 billion (7).
8. Finmeccanica, Italy, $14.56 billion (8).
9. L-3 Communications, U.S., $12.52 billion (9).
10. United Technologies, U.S., $11.64 billion (10).

Fire That Killed Dozens of Pets in Missoula Caused by Candle [AUDIO]
The fire on May 29 that killed dozens of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, cockatiels and other animals was caused by a candle that caused other combustibles to burn, causing over $45,000 in damage to the home, injuring two human residents, as well.
Missoula City Fire Marshall Gordy Hughes said Monday that investigators found it was a candle that caused the fire at the residence on Idaho Street.
"The determination was that it was a candle that was kept burning and was unattended at the time," Hughes said. "The speculation is that one of the animals may have knocked it over, or it actually burned down to the point where it ignited the combustibles around it."
Although Hughes did not have an exact number that perished in the fire, he personally witnessed a number of dead animals.
"I personally viewed 11 felines, five dogs, several chickens, and a couple of parakeets and cockatiels... just a tragic situation, definitely," Hughes said. " The animals all appeared to be in good health and evidently had not been abused or malnourished in any way."
Hughes said the home was crowded with boxes and clutter, along with all the animals, which made fighting the fire complicated.
"I would have to classify this this home as... full," Hughes said. "it was difficult for our crews to navigate once they were inside. There was talk that the couple was in the process of moving, so there were boxes and other things ready to go at the time of the fire."
Hughes took the opportunity to remind homeowners about the dangers of leaving a lit candle unattended.
"If you're burning a candle, use a container that, if it tipped over, the hot wax would be contained," Hughes said. "The best thing I could recommend is a shallow pan with sand in the bottom of it. Something that is non-combustible that would capture the volume of wax that could eventually melt out of it."

The science behind selling an eight-figure home
Selling an eight-figure home, even in Greenwich, takes a bit of science
The midcountry home at 2 Wooddale Road that hit the market asking just shy of $12 million, is one of about three dozen eight-figure homes listed in Greenwich. With high-end touches that set the newly constructed trophy apart from spec houses, listing agent Barbara Wells said it's only a matter of time before the home is snapped up.
"You don't get these houses too often," she said, while showing off the ultra-luxury kitchen, complete with a marble-topped kitchen island that rivals the size of some studio apartments in Manhattan.
Ask her about the high-end finishes and she can tell you about the "Ferrari of toilets" located upstairs, with a lid that flips open when someone approaches, as well as custom his-and-hers walk-in closets in the expansive master suite, $1,000 pendant lights and so much more.
But $400 refrigerator door handles and an approved site for a 5.24-acre tennis court alone won't sell a house with an eight-figure price tag. That takes strategy.
"I think it's part science and part art," said Lyn Stevens, of Sotheby's. "The science part, I would say, is keyed off the global financial markets and the relative value throughout all of the market groups, and what's happening there. Particularly in Greenwich, where so many of the high, high-end buyers are attached to the financial markets."
The art, she said, is understanding what makes the home unique. "You've got to have that special connection with a home," she said.
But there is no easy formula for mixing science and art.
Last year, 724 homes sold in Greenwich; of those, only 18 went for more than $7.5 million, said Bill Andruss, also of Sotheby's. As for eight-figure homes, the town only saw a dozen sales. That's a pretty limited market -- less than 2 percent of buyers in a town known worldwide for its large pool of "one-percenters."
"A high-end home could take over a year to sell, because ... when you get to what I call the tip of the triangle -- the top portion -- there are relatively few buyers," Andruss said. "It's a very small number of the whole pool, so you say to sellers, `This is what you need to expect.'"
During all that time, there's a lot of work to do. That's where a "global marketing plan" comes into play, Stevens said.
"That's what you have to do when you get these trophy properties. You have to get them out globally, not just in the tri-state. And with Greenwich, the buyers for these properties are all over the map," she said.
Agents saidt getting exposure on web sites like Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com is key, as is setting up a custom URL that contains the home's address. But in order to attract serious attention, there has to be more than just your standard listing.
"I think the most important thing in selling these houses is having top-notch photography," said Eileen Hanford, a Realtor with Halstead Property who sold a home on Long Neck Point in Darien for $14.9 million last fall.
At 2 Wooddale Road in Greenwich, Wells has hundreds of photos of the home -- everything from images of the 13,000-square-foot house lit up during the twilight hours to detail shots of those pricey pendant lights.
But spectacular shots are really just the beginning. Producing a high-caliber video of the property -- like a movie trailer -- helps elevate the listing, said Wells, who added her website for 2 Wooddale includes floor plans with icons in each room that invite users to click for a photo of that particular part of the house.
"It's through the photography and the video that you get such interest, and such knowledge of the house from potential buyers," she said.
The effort is paying off.
"I am getting probably 75 hits a day on this property on the Houlihan Lawrence web site," Wells said as she stood in the home's two-story foyer, a hand on the railing of the staircase. "Normally it could be about five or 10. But the other day, we had 81."

Hair extensions might seem like a new invention but in reality hair additions have been around as far back as the Egyptian times when both men and women work wigs. Since then hair pieces have been in and out of fashion ever since.
In 1800 fake hair was frowned upon and women left their hair to be natural until the Romantic era was in full swing when women wore elaborate Apollo knots. Come the mid Victorian era and hair pieces were used a lot more extensively. Then strangely in the early 20th century Edwardian women wore false hair additions to create the pompadour hairstyle which looked like a woman was wearing a teapot on her head. How that became fashionable I don't really know!
Around the 1920's less hair was the big thing so hair pieces took a dive around that time and it wasn't until the 1940s when long hair came back into fashion and women starting indulging again. Then in the 1960's big hair was back with a vengeance. Coils were the in thing or the updo as better known to us were seen of many women, this was created by very extravagant human hair pieces. Wigs made from real or fake hair were commonly worn around this time too and carried on into the early 70's. Come the 80's and big hair was in but only natural hair. Famous singers wore wigs but that was about it.
The clip-on hair extensions come in a variety of different colours and lengths are the best option for non permanent hair pieces. They are very easy to use and as long as you get the right hair colour and texture of hair, no one will know your hair is fake. In fact I have sat next to a work colleague for months not realising that her long hair was in fact clip on hair pieces. It was only whilst getting ready for our Christmas works do that she pulled her hair off! I was shocked to say the least as her natural hair was just shoulder length and I had no idea.
African American Healthy Hair Care: The Basics
Hair extensions can be fun and let you have the long hair you have wanted for a while! There are three major categories: Strand by strand extensions, weft extensions, and clip-on extensions. Most of the extensions look the same, but there are different ways of taking care of them, brushing them, etc.
Weft extensions are attached one row of hair at a time as opposed to strand by strand extensions which are small strands of the hair is attached one by one to small sections of your own hair by either weaving, gluing, heat fusing, clamping with metal tubes or using waxes and polymers. Depending on how well you take care of your extensions and how fast your hair grows they last from 2-6 months. Also, most of the time the hair extensions are real human hair, and you just have to find the color that best matches your hair. Hair extensions are usually found at most beauty supply stores.
Hair extensions are really neat, especially if you are wanting your hair to grow longer. You can have long hair while waiting for your hair to grow out! I have also heard it makes your hair grow faster, but I am not sure about that one. Here are some other sites that may be able to help you!

Obviously, every mother thinks that their baby is perfect, and Bella is no exception. And to me, Renesmee became kind of the ultimate Mary Sue--we just kept hearing about how exceptional and special and talented and beautiful she was and how everyone loved her so, so much and so on and so forth. To me, it wasn't all that interesting. This is the child of Edward and Bella, both of whom are stubborn to a fault and who at times are so sure about the right thing to do that they end up making large errors that hurt other people in their quests to achieve it. I would have liked to see Renesmee end up with a trait like that, something that frustrated people or annoyed them or just anything to show that she was flawed like the rest of them. Obviously, being flawed people hasn't decreased the rest of the characters' love for each other. I often find in stories that when I'm constantly hit over the head by how perfect and wonderful someone is and how I should love, love, love him or her, it makes me feel the opposite. My favorite characters tend to be the grayer ones who are three-dimensional and have a variety of traits, both positive and negative. I just was not drawn in by Renesmee, and at times I felt Ms. Meyer was trying too hard to make us like her.
i totally agree with this. i think that's why i wasn't fascinated by her or anything. i wasn't in love with her.
but she is very young. she probably doesn't really HAVE negative traits yet, if that makes sense.

About SkypeKit
Sadly, there's no desktop Skype application currently available for the Raspberry Pi. However, Skype do have a Developer Program, and through that program it's possible to get the basic bits & pieces needed to put together a Skype client that will run on the Pi.
SkypeKit is an SDK & set of runtimes provided by Skype to developers who want to create applications with Skype-based functionality.
You can think of a runtime as a 'headless' version of Skype: it's an executable which has no interface, runs on the commandline & connects to the Skype network and provides stuff like contact lists and the ability to make calls. The SDK allows you to write code which talks to the runtime. You're never dealing with the Skype network directly; just manipulating the runtime. When you're developing with SkypeKit, presenting an interface to the user is your responsibility. The core Skype functionality is the runtime's responsibility.
There are a number of runtimes available for various combinations of OS & architecture. Luckily for us, there's a linux-armv7le-eabi runtime which runs on the Pi.
Handily, the SDK also comes with a bunch of example code which lets you do things like chat & make and receive calls on the command-line.
The purpose of this guide is to get you to a point where you can hack about with SkypeKit on the Pi. It's not a canonical guide to making Skype calls on the Pi, although hopefully may make such a thing possible in the future.
There's a fair bit of footwork required to get to the point where you can get your Pi connecting to Skype. Firstly, most importantly, and the reason that this stuff is currently only useful to developers is the fact that you'll need to sign up to the SkypeKit Developer Program to get the runtime and the application keys needed for its use.
Getting the SkypeKit SDK & runtime
- First, you'll need to sign up to the SkypeKit Developer Program. Visit https://developer.skype.com/signup. Click "Sign in with Skype" and do that thing.
- Once you're signed up to the Developer Program, you'll need to sign up to the "SkypeKit for Embedded" Program to download the runtime for Pi. Go to http://developer.skype.com/account/projects and click the link that says Join for US $5 on the "SkypeKit for Embedded" line in the Programs section. The astute will already have realised that it costs $5.
- Once you're signed up to the SkypeKit for Embedded program, you'll need to create a Project to get the key pair that the runtime requires to run. Visit http://developer.skype.com/account/projects again; you should now see that where the Join for US $5 link was which you used to sign up to the Embedded program, it now says "Create a new project". Click that link and follow the instructions to create a project.
- Once you've created a project, you'll be able to download the SDK, runtime & key pair you need to run a runtime on the Pi. Visit http://developer.skype.com/skypekit/releases. Remember, we're interested in the Embedded runtime for the Pi's ARMv7 chip; at the time of writing, this download is the 4.2.1 for Embedded SDK from the Step 1 section.
- You'll need to request the runtime, since they're built uniquely against a Developer Program account. Click "Request a runtime" in Step 2: Request and download runtimes. We're after a Linux / ARMv7 runtime, so select those in the dropdowns at the column headings in the table which appears. There's a few which can be used; I'm currently working with linux-armv7-skypekit-voicepcm-novideo, so that's as good a choice to make as any at this point.
- Finally, we'll request a key pair. Go back to the project that you created and click "Development key pair". Then click "Request a new key pair" and give it a name (I use dates). Click "Request key pair" after proving you're a human, then "Download the key pair"
- That's it! You now have everything you need to start slapping together a simple Skype-connected app
Building an Audio Host & running an example app
Now we've got the SDK, runtime & keyfile, we're ready to start putting things togeher on the Pi. Copy over linux-armv6-skypekit-xxx.gz, linux-armv6-skypekit-xxx.tar.gz, skypekit-sdk_sdk-xxx.tar.gz and the .pem keyfile to a sensible place on your Pi (I made ~/dev/skype and put them there) and uncompress both archives with:
tar xvzf filename.gz
The rest of this guide is all Pi-side, since I'm not quite ready to attempt to get my Mac cross-compiling for the Pi just yet.
Building voicepcmhost-loopback
The Skypekit ARM runtime needs to connect to an Audio Host at the time that it connects to the Skype network, even if we're not actually interested in making calls (say, using the runtime for chat). An Audio Host is a standalone binary which runs alongside the runtime and provides it with access to audio in & out connections. The Audio PCM Quick Start guide on [1] gives more detail about this setup, but the practical upshot is that we'll need to compile an Audio PCM Host before we can use any of the services provided by the runtime. To start with, let's build the simplest reference Audio Host provided in the SDK, voicepcmhost-loopback, which as the name suggests, just copies audio data from its input back to its output.
Most of this information is extracted from Skype's Audio PCM Quick Start guide, but this doc seems to lag behind regarding the build system used in more recent versions of the SDK (4.2.1 at time of writing). There's some tidbits of information about the new build system in the Release Notes for 4.2.1, but other stuff I've basically guessed at/worked out through trial & error. YMMV.
- Build voicepcmhost-loopback. Change to the relevant build directory:
cd ~/dev/skype/skypekit-sdk_sdk-184.108.40.206_1379776/reference/voicepcmhost-loopback/build/gmakeand build it:
Hopefully, we should now have a built binary at ~/dev/skype/skypekit-sdk_sdk-184.108.40.206_1379776/reference/voicepcmhost-loopback/build/voicepcmhost-loopback.
Making a test call to the Pi
Let's try putting the whole thing together and making a test call to the Pi. If it works, we'll hear our own voice echoed back to us through the loopback host. You'll need the logins for two different Skype accounts: we'll use on the Pi and one on your desktop. You'll also need Skype installed on your desktop.
- Copy the .pem keyfile to ~/dev/skype/skypekit-sdk_sdk-18.104.22.168_1379776/examples/python/tutorial. We'll use it later to run a test app. Edit ~/dev/skype/skypekit-sdk_sdk-22.214.171.124_1379776/examples/python/keypair.py to reflect the filename of the keyfile.
- Start the ARM runtime in the background:
~/dev/skype/linux-armv6-skypekit-voicepcm-novideo_220.127.116.113_1708442/bin/linux-armv6le-eabi/linux-armv6-skypekit-voicepcm-novideo &
- Start the Voice PCM Audio Host in the background:
~/dev/skype/skypekit-sdk_sdk-220.127.116.11_1379776/reference/voicepcmhost-loopback/build/voicepcmhost-loopback &
- Move to the folder containing the Python app examples:
cd ~/dev/skype/skypekit-sdk_sdk-18.104.22.168_1379776/examples/python/tutorial/
- Run the autoanswer.py example. This is a simple Python app which will automatically answer any incoming Skype call and connect it to the loopback Audio Host.
python autoanswer.py <Skype account #1 login> <Skype account #1 password>
- On your desktop, login to Skype with the details for account #2 and place a call to account #1. You should see a whole load of output spill across the Pi's console, including the lines
Incoming call from: <Skype account #2 name>and
<Skype account #2 name> is now live.Say something! You should hear it echo back to you from the Pi. Congratultions! You just made your first Skype call to an instance of SkypeKit running on your Pi.

| 3.3°C Belfast
An 18-year-old man has been charged with the rape of an 11-year-old girl who was on her way home from school.
Opemipo Jaji was also charged with attempted rape following the attack on the schoolgirl in Enfield, north London, on Friday.
He will appear at Enfield Magistrates' Court on Thursday, Scotland Yard said.
Jaji was arrested in Edmonton on Monday evening and police were yesterday given more time to quiz him.
Another man, 26, who was also held in connection with the attack has been released on bail until late December.
Police appealed for witnesses after the schoolgirl, who was wearing her uniform, was attacked in Jubilee Park, Enfield, on Friday afternoon.
The girl, who police described as petite, returned home at around 8pm and was taken to hospital where she needed surgery.
Detective Inspector Simon Ellershaw said it was "a horrific and unusual attack of a defenceless schoolgirl".

In this week's fun over at Genea-Musings, Randy Seaver asks us to determine our 3rd most-recent unknown ancestor in our Ahnentafel list, review our research for something we might have missed, and think about what additional sources might help us.
I suspected which branch I'd land in before starting this challenge, and if I knew my Ahnentafels even just a little bit better, probably could have figured the answer out in my head.
The most recent unknown ancestor I wrote about back in May was (and still is) number 40, the father of my great-great-grandfather, Thomas McCormick. The next one after that is number 41, Thomas McCormick's mother. So moving over to Thomas' wife, my great-great grandmother Margaret Gilligan McCormick, is where I find the 3rd most recent unknown ancestor. From Margaret's death certificate, I know that her father's name was John Gilligan (no. 42) , and that her mother's name was Katherine (no. 43). And it's Katherine I'll be writing about tonight.
I feel like I've written about Margaret a lot lately, having hit her on Randy's roulette wheel last Saturday and considered her right to vote earlier this week. And while given Randy's instructions, I could climb higher in the Ahnentafel list to find someone else, (which would be no. 46 - unknown father of my great-great grandmother Anna Ambrose Gillespie), I'm going to stick with Katherine and Margaret.
My lack of a last name for Katherine is hands-down one of the most frustrating things I've researched to date. Because I actually do (or should) have her last name. As mentioned above, I have a death certificate for Margaret McCormick dated 4 Jan 1927. My great-grandfather, Dr. John S. McCormick, was the informant, so I have hopes that the information noted about Margaret's parents is somewhat accurate.
|Extraction from death record of Margaret McCormick.
My chief problem is that I can't read the handwriting noting Katherine's last name. I've shown this to a couple of other people who haven't been able to decipher it either.
But what I do know from this is that Margaret and her parents, John and Katherine, were all (probably) born in Ireland. Given immigration related questions in the 1900 and 1910 censuses, I know that Margaret Gilligan likely immigrated to the United States sometime between 1855 and 1860, which would make her between 4 and 9 years old at the time. So given her age, I hypothesize that Margaret probably would have come with her mother. Whether her father arrived at the same time or earlier is unknown. Also, contact with a distant cousin tells me according to family stories Margaret and her family may have come to Canada before entering the United States. Any other children of John and Katherine Gilligan are unknown.
While on a trip to the Family History Library about a year ago, I spent some time pouring through vital records and city directories from the 1880s-1890s for the towns of Norwich and Sprague in the county of New London, Connecticut - the farthest back I've traced the McCormick family.
In the death records for Sprague, New London, Connecticut in 1882, I found a death entry for 49-year-old widow Catherine Gilligin, born in Ireland, who died 21 Dec 1882 in Sprague. This would make her birth date around 1833. Is this Margaret's mother? I don't know, but it seems plausible - the age is not out of the question. Unfortunately the death record lacks details like street address or parent's names, and lists her north location only as Ireland. I have yet to find a woman, married or widowed, matching this name and age, in this geographic area, in the 1880 census.
Extraction of death entry for Catherine Gilligin. Sprague, Connecticut. Registrar of Vital Statistics. Records of Deaths, 1879-1905. FHL Microfilm no. 1311443. Accessed 3 Nov 2011.
Where does this leave me? The same place I've been for a while - I need to finishing analyzing the data I collected at the FHL last year and need to track down church and/or cemetery records for Norwich and/or Sprague in the early 1880's. I also want to lay the information I have on-hand out again and go over it with a fine tooth comb as there may be other pieces of information I haven't picked up on.
If you have any thoughts on what Katherine's maiden name is in the death record above, please hit the comments!

KBA Raises Prices for Sheetfed Offset Presses by 2.5 Percent
WÜRZBURG, GERMANY—February 6, 2013—In response to the increased purchasing costs for materials, energy and other resource inputs, the second-largest press manufacturer in the world, Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA), has announced a price increase of 2.5 percent for its sheetfed offset presses with effect from April 15, 2013.
This step is viewed as part of an extensive program of measures supporting stronger and sustainable profitability across all fields of business. Since 2009, the KBA Group has been the only major press manufacturer returning a positive overall bottom line. The company has now declared the same goal specifically for the sheetfed offset segment, after considerable streamlining of the workforce, comprehensive cost reduction measures and development of an innovative new press generation.
"With the Rapida 106 and Rapida 145 which we presented at drupa 2012, we offer users the most modern and efficient sheetfed offset presses on the world market for the medium- and large-formats," said executive vice president for sheetfed sales Ralf Sammeck. "The innovative technology of our highly automated presses, and their many unique features in terms of automation, fast makeready and inline processes, bring economic benefits for the user and enhance the long-term value of an investment, but they naturally also cost money."
Sammeck also adds that the market has recognized this added value, and that KBA has been able to record a significant increase in both orders received and turnover in the sheetfed offset segment in 2012, and have further reinforced its position as the second-largest manufacturer in the world. "In our opinion, the competition in this market is too price-driven. Needing to utilize excessive capacities, some manufacturers in the industry have for a long time concentrated blindly on securing market shares, regardless of any losses and to the detriment of their external investors. That hardly makes sense. The moderate price increase for our sheetfed presses is justified by their technical features and will contribute to sustainable improvement of our profitability."

TestingTalk.org Launches National Discussion About Common Core Tests
TestingTalk.org was opened for public comments on March 30, and is actively soliciting input from parents, teachers and students regarding their experiences with the new tests.
TestingTalk.org was opened for public comments on March 30, and is actively soliciting input from parents, teachers and students regarding their experiences with the new tests.
Chicago Public School officials sank to a new and unprecedented low this week. Children whose parents opted them out of testing were pulled from classrooms and questioned by officials from the district law office without parents' knowledge or consent.
At a San Diego school board meeting on Tuesday, dramatic testimony from teachers and parents uncovered serious questions about the way their charter school has been run.
"We hear of administrators who are telling families they are breaking the law, which is a lie. Think about this, they are intimidating people who are undocumented or in difficulty."
Maia Wu, the Southern California middle school student and 8th grade class president given the boot by her school district for her outspokenness, continues to press for her reinstatement.
Currently in my school, parents and teachers are afraid to speak out against what they feel is wrong, which is something that should not be accepted as the "norm". Unfortunately, it's not just teachers and parents, but students as well. You could even say, my school is run by fear.
Now Newark, New Jersey, is exploding, thanks to the attempts at intimidation by Governor Christie's hand-picked superintendent of schools, Cami Anderson.
Government is supposed to be a force against corruption and control by private interests. It is a mark of how far we have come that only in Vermont does one see such a viewpoint expressed on a newspaper's editorial page.
