Waiting for my car last week at the mechanic's, I was compelled to endure Martha Stewart teaching Rachael Ray how to make a piecrust. "You can make a piecrust in 16 seconds!" Martha exclaims and pulses her food processor with 2 1/2 cups of flour; 2 sticks of cold, unsalted butter in half-inch chunks; 1 teaspoon of kosher salt; and 1 teaspoon of sugar. After pulsing, she pours in a half cup ice-cold water and warns not to make a ball. Pour it on the counter in loose chunks, she says, and then pull it together.
You can pulse a piecrust in 16 seconds, it is true, but the real work—prepping the butter, icing the water, dusting with flour, resting the dough, rolling it out, draping it in your pan off-center, then pulling it out for another go, only to watch the whole thing break apart like the Earth's crust in 2012—well, that takes infinitely longer.
There's a reason we bake at home and a reason we eat out. Both enrich our souls.
So make a piecrust and revel in the compliments. Or go out on the town and let a pastry chef do it for you. Some of my best dates with my husband have been huddled at a bar, sipping coffee, talking over the day's events, each leaning over the other for one more bite of pie.
Tired of ending your meal with pumpkins and pecans? Feel as though you're sweating nutmeg? For a burst of cleansing citrus and vibrant color, visit Midtown & Bar 115 in the Lassiter at North Hills for Pastry Chef Tim Barron's Lemon Tart ($7/ slice).
Barron achieves the clean, fresh taste with "a mix of regular lemons, of course the zest, and Japanese lemon juice (you buy it at the Asian market). It has more of a floral flavor than most citruses."
For his variation on a shortbread crust, he uses a little more butter than shortbread—"so it's a little softer and rich. It doesn't get crispy."
Garnished with a pure flavor jolt of raspberry sauce and a dab of fresh cream with vanilla bean, this tart is just the shock therapy you need to get through the holiday season.
Server Aaron at Raleigh's Glenwood Grill has a Southern accent like blackstrap molasses and the hospitality to match. He doesn't flinch when asked to see the dessert menu before dinner is ordered. Now that's character.
You'll be thrilled you saved room for Chef John Wright's Bailey's Chocolate Pie ($6/ slice). With crushed macadamia nuts, chocolate drizzle, Oreo crust and true whipped cream, this thing is dense, more like a flourless chocolate cake—so dense, the knife leaves "legs" on the sides.
When a slice of pie comes with a price tag of $9 and an important name like the Second Empire Key Lime Pie, it begs careful observation.
The pie arrives on an absurdly large platter, like a Pekingese on a pillow. The stately wedge is made even more imposing by the 3-inch curlicue tuille cookie arcing up and over the pie, supported at its base by a quenelle of whipped cream that mimics the telltale shape of gelato—but aha!—it is not.
With waves of mango and blueberry sauces artfully painted on the platter, the pie looks like a tall ship sailing north from Key West, its paper-thin tuille a curvaceous figurehead on the prow.
Second Empire's signature dessert has been on the menu for the life of the restaurant. Fortunately the pie is not just fun to look at (and deconstruct). Pastry Chef Amber Atkins' key lime custard is smooth and tangy, with a surprise topping: a thin layer of sweet sour cream, much like a New York-style cheesecake. It's delicious.
Atkins, whose background is in cake decorating and dessert plating, is as much a purist with product as she is with presentation.
On cream: "The bean is crucial. That's one thing I've been taught since Day 1. There is no substitution for vanilla bean, unfortunately!"
On crust: "The crust is very sensitive; graham cracker crust has a lot of butter and sugar in it. If you make the pies [too far in advance], the syrup and the butter will start to break down."
On custard: "I've tweaked it slightly: for example, adding a couple more egg yolks to the batter to make it a little creamier rather than gelatinous. A lot of times, restaurants do add gelatin to the custard to set it up, but I would rather not do that. I think that gelatin can leave a film on your palate, and I really want to make it as homemade as possible."
Both the restaurant and tavern at Second Empire serve Atkins' entire dessert menu (all $9), which includes an individually sized Lemon Blueberry Tart and a Buttermilk Coconut Chess Pie.
Trust the French to push the limits on pie. Galettes, tartes, clafoutis, milles-feuilles: Not one of them looks like a pie is supposed to look. But they share many of the same ingredients.
Upside-down Tarte Tatin ($9.95) surely exists in no purer form than at St. Jacques in North Raleigh, where an unsliced half apple draped with the thinnest imaginable round of crust is cooked for two hours, then flipped, the caramelization perfect with strong French coffee.
The St. Jacques Strawberry Mille-Feuille ("thousand layers") with Chantilly Cream is something out of modern architecture. Our French server, Quentin, shares "the true story of the mille-feuille": Though traditionally made with puff pastry, he says, St. Jacques uses paper-thin phyllo, rather than their labor-intensive puff pastry, "because one dessert would be, what, 25 dollars? Just for some strawberries and cream. No one would buy it!"
For a disciplined kitchen like the one at St. Jacques, the easy solution (using processed puff pastry) would be absurd. Not that phyllo is much of a shortcut: The simplicity of taste belies the fillings brushed in between. First butter, then butter-sugar, then butter-sugar-almond. Repeat 333 times, give or take.
Any day of the week, a pie craving can be quenched at the North Carolina Farmers' Market in Raleigh. For subtle European tortes, visit Swiss Chalet's booth in the covered "baked goods" tent adjacent to the permanent breezeway, open seven days a week year-round.
Fifth-generation bakers Tom and Lisa Buehler moved to North Carolina from Switzerland 15 years ago. They run two shops in Greenville and Havelock, and their tortes are, in centuries-old fashion, literally "brought to market."
Megan Shaver, who works the Raleigh booth, cites the hazelnut-raspberry Linzer Torte as the bakery's masterpiece ($4 small; $11.50 large). The Linzer is sold out this day, but the Hollander Pecan Torte (apricot-almond-pecan) makes a superb substitute. The eggy, cake-like base has a sassy touch of almond flavor below a thin layer of apricot jam. It's a mature, sophisticated taste, barely sweetened.
The Plain Jane Baking Company (named so for its pure, plain ingredients) sets up its booth next to Swiss Chalet's, creating a vortex of superb baking.
"We focus on the crust, obviously, the most important part of a pie," says owner Alison Vessie.
"We do it in the traditional way. We only make two crusts at a time. We do them by hand; we do not machine them, so they're made more like a laminated dough. You get the layers that you should; you get the flavor that you should.
"And we only use butter, we don't use shortening or oil, no water. We use a teeny bit of heavy cream to bring the dough together. Not sweet at all; it's a neutral crust."
Today she has a cranberry walnut crumb pie and double-crusted apple. "It's a traditional New England apple pie—no fillers, no spices, no flavorings, no sugar. It is just purely the apples, which is really what a pie should be," Vessie says. "We use Mutsu apples and hand-peel all our fruit."
"And then we also do our chocolate pecan [she says pee-can]—this is not a traditional pecan pie with a very thick layer of custard and a very small layer of nuts. This is whole, fresh North Carolina pecans all the way through, and then we use Guittard dark chocolate, and then we put a layer of chocolate ganache in the center as well. It's a sweet, nutty crunchy pie, but not gooey."
Vessie sold her Clayton store in 2005 after running it for 17 years. At one point, she employed 22 people, at the lowest point, eight. "And now it's just me baking, strictly through the farmers' market," Vessie says.
Pecan, pecan/ chocolate ganache and double-crust pies are $18; single-crust fruit pies and crumb pies are $16; pumpkin and lemon chess are $14; or, as a teaser, try Plain Jane's exquisite "pecan bar" for $3.75.
If it's too frigid for the outdoor tent but you simply must have a pie, try the family enterprise, Sweet David's Bakery, in the indoor market building, where they sell three varieties of chess and two of pecan. They do not, however, make their own piecrust: "It's just so much labor," says owner William Townsend, whose son, David, 27, runs the Garner-based bakery.
Pies are $1 for a tiny three-bite size and $9-$10 for a full-size.
APEX AND CARY
Savory's Bakery in Apex is a small-town corner bakery at the crossroads of two main streets, but you wouldn't know it by the Continental fare.
Andrea Paul, Savory's baker/ owner (trained in Charleston "by a Frenchman") is enthusiastic but plainspoken.
"Some don't think my pastry is sweet enough because it is very low-sugar/ more-flavor, on the European side. If it's a very traditional Southern recipe they're looking for, I tell them they may not want what I have. I'm not going to change my style to fit the Southern [taste]."
Paul's apple/ almond "conversation tart" is a perfect example of Francophile pastry. And her signature item is a French custard pie: "You've got Granny Smith apples sliced in there, and light custard sauce baked in a sweet shell. It just goes so perfect with whipping cream."
Paul prepares three crusts for her pies. For her single-serving conversation tarts, she uses "the sweet dough, which is like a sugar cookie crust"; for regular whole pies, she makes "the nice flaky, traditional pie dough" with chilled whole milk and a shortening/ margarine mix; and for certain tarts, she uses house-made puff pastry so it "will fluff up airy with layers; it kind of gives it a different flair."
The seasons inspire Paul. Come summer, she'll have peach pies with tapioca, her grandmother's recipe.
Savory's fruit and pecan pies start at $15, and cream pies start at $19. Conversation tarts are $3-$4 each.
The Chocolate Mousse Pie ($5.25/ slice) at Chatham Street Café—located on the short old-timey strip of downtown Cary—is a destination dessert, worth a trip all its own. The airy but decadent pie features a crumbled chocolate wafer crust, a generous layer of freshly whipped cream and mousse with the rich depth of bittersweet cocoa ("It's a classic mousse, just egg whites and chocolate," says chef/ owner Gayla Bonke, who swears by Trader Joe's dark chocolate bars).
Like white wine, the pie gets better as it comes to room temperature. Consider ordering a slice to go and cherish it slowly with a brandy or port. Or eat it as I did—in the car, without utensils, hooking one mousse-covered finger to my mouth at each stoplight.
If you haven't heard of La Farm Bakery in suburban Cary, keep an eye on your television set; it's featured on a Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial currently in heavy rotation. Even onscreen, their pastry smells like heaven.
The bakery has two or three tarts available every day by the slice ($3.99), and typically eight whole tarts to take home ($21.99). For $12, I tasted all three of one day's selections, a palate cleanser of cold milk at the ready.
The Golden Delicious Apple Almond Tart is a decisively grown-up treat: slightly chewy, brilliant French country pastry base with glazed apples on a thin layer of marzipan. A perfect snack at teatime.
The Pumpkin Harvest, obviously seasonal, is a highly spiced, smooth custard on pate sucree base. With a sheer glaze and a few roasted pumpkin seeds, this simple tart radiates autumn.
The berry tart features sweet fluffy cream cheese balanced by tart blueberries and raspberries. Beneath a dusting of powdered sugar, the browned top yields a lovely hint of salt. The berry tart's the clear winner, though all three are spectacular: refined yet bold—like the French.
Imagine an empanada being sat on by an elephant— that was my first impression of the fantastic Sweet Potato Fried Pie at Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen, near Regency Park in Cary. This is the cleverest dessert I've had all month, and that's saying a lot.
Maybe it's that serving a proletarian fried pie—the kind usually found in wax bags with oil spots—in an upscale establishment is slightly revolutionary. Or maybe it's that the flat, half-moon pocket is spiked with Myers's rum and five-spice, then garnished with Homeland Creamery butter pecan ice cream and aggressively spiced pecans.
"[For the pecans, take] a simple syrup, seasoned with cayenne pepper, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, allspice. Simmer the untoasted pecans in there for 30 to 45 minutes, drain the liquid off, and deep-fry the pecans. It kind of vaporizes their interior," says Executive Chef Jay Pierce, a Louisiana native who, after culinary school, came by his cayenne stripes honestly, at Emeril Lagasse's NOLA in New Orleans.
"We also make our pie dough here. Basically we freeze the butter and put it through a cheese grater. It's just water, White Lily flour and butter. I did do it with lard for a while, but in Greensboro [at Lucky 32's flagship] there are a lot more people who are sensitive to pork products in their food. I just thought it would not be a selling point if we wrote "made with lard," because for every person that appreciated it, there'd be five that said, 'Oh, gross.'"
Pierce does his research when perfecting a recipe. "I went to a food festival outside of Nashville about 18 months ago in conjunction with Southern Foodways Alliance . . . I met this woman who was making pies, and John T. Edge was leading a talk with her, and I asked her, 'How do you get the consistency inside of your sweet potato pie like that?' and she said she cooks all of her filling in advance.
"So the trick to [our fried pies] turning out so well is we make up sweet potato pies with no crust and bake them in baking pans, then cool them off. Then we roll out raw dough and we scoop up that cooked filling and place it in the center, brush the edges with egg, crimp it, deep-fry it and that's about it."
Pierce's Lemon and Chocolate Chess Pies scoff at revolution, even at evolution; they're über-sweet, following Southern tradition. Chess pie enthusiasts will sit back with a smile, cinching their belts a couple of holes looser. (Chef throws down a little cash: "Our chess pies, I'd stack those up against anybody's at this point.")
All that need be said about Lucky 32's towering Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Pie is that it's a trophy for the sweet-eating sportsman, a true American pie for our culture of giddy excess. All desserts are $6; the menu changes every six weeks.
It's an unconfirmed report, but Wake Forest may have more per capita bakeries than any other tri-county town.
The small Pies & More on Wait Avenue, advertising "fried chicken | seafood | pies + more," sells $2 slices to go for a quick fix. Although the pecan pie doesn't have a house-made crust, it's a family recipe and it's good.
Two blocks uphill, look for A La Mode in an old downtown railroad building. Though best known for its gelato and a spectacular ice-cream bar (with "cowboy" stools made out of real saddles!), A La Mode will gussy up a slice of premade double-crust apple pie with walnuts, caramel, cinnamon, and Maple View Farm vanilla bean ice cream ($6.50).
Kick up your feet and stay awhile at Soho Bakery & Café. The shop, in a nondescript strip, is a stylish little secret: bright and airy with a neutral palette, soft leather sofas, a soothing water feature and the aroma of freshly baked bagels. Though the piecrusts aren't house-made, the shortbread tart crust is. Kids of all ages will have fun with the Twix bar Tart, which approximates and improves upon the namesake candy.
If Soho is all style, Sweet Loralee Pastries in the Factory Shops warehouse is all substance. Five years ago, owner/baker Ilya Koltusky moved his bakery from Canada to North Carolina. He is an uncompromising cook. Asked if he ever uses premade crust, he grimaces.
"I just can't do it! We actually roll them out. You know, I have a system, and I have a huge mixer. It's taller than me—80 quart. And when you're rolling out the shell, the bottom, we'll just roll the dough into a long piece and just cut them by hand. We don't have a press."
Pies at Sweet Loralee are buy-one, get-one-free through Christmas, two for $25.

Many people have a habit of walking and talking while they are eating. It is a really bad habit. When you roam around while eating you are unable to pay attention to your food or eat properly. This habit also leads to various health-related problems. Your eating habits have a direct impact on your health. Therefore it is important to know how eating while walking impacts your health! (Also read: What are the amazing health benefits of eating jaggery every day)
Why should you never eat and walk at the same time?
When you eat when you are walking then you are unable to eat the food properly. You also face difficulties in digesting the food. This leads to boating and other stomach related issues. It affects your health in a bad way.
When you eat your food passes through the food pipe which is also known as the oesophagus. When you eat when you are walking around, the muscles of food pipe don’t work properly. This leads to the production of Hydrochloric acid. As a result, it leads to the problem of acidity. (Also read: Why you should always cook at home instead of eating out)
The feeling of nausea
When you always feel nauseated, it might be due to the fact that you keep eating when you are walking. Whenever we eat, the food is used to obtain energy and nourishment. When you sit and eat properly your stomach stays stable, as a result, you have a healthy digestion. However, when you walk around while eating you don’t give your stomach the stability to digest the food. Especially when you are drinking something like a smoothie or a shake.
Unable to digest properly
When you are eating while walking around you are unable to digest the food properly. This leads to an inability to gain proper nutrition and nourishment from the food. So, it is important to sit down when you are eating.
Too much eating
When you walk while eating you don’t get the satiety value from the food. It makes you feel hungry even when you are full. (Also read: Which personal items you should never share with anyone)

FORTUNE -- Talk candidly with corporate directors and they'll tell you their No. 1 worry is no longer the economy or the chance of an accounting scandal -- it's activist investors. That's because activists have taken on a new role this year, proving they can influence the world's largest, most famous corporations by buying tiny stakes and then telling the board exactly what they think it's doing wrong.
The change in activists' tactics and influence has been dramatic (see chart below). Just three years ago, the activists' biggest targets were mostly smaller companies in which the activists took significant stakes in order to get the boards' attention. Now no company is too big -- Apple (AAPL), a target of Carl Icahn and David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital, is the world's most valuable company -- and stakes smaller than 1% are often enough to get a hearing with the directors or top executives.
The main reason for activists' new swagger is that they're deploying far more capital than ever (see chart above). Look for the growth to continue so long as activist investing keeps working: Activist funds overall are beating the market, and major pension funds have grown more willing to hand over a chunk of their trillions.

Frequently Asked Questions: National Firearm Act
Here are a few answers to our most frequently asked questions about National Firearms Act issues:
Does STS Arms sell NFA items?
STS is a Class 07/SOT FFL holder. It can manufacture NFA items for civilian use as well as for law enforcement and military/government use. This means we can build machine guns (for LE and government only), silencers, short barreled shotguns and rifles, and AOW (any other weapon) classified firearms. We currently manufacture short barreled AR15 pattern rifles for transfer to regular purchasers. We can also transfer silencers and other NFA items to civilians.
What NFA items are available to non-law enforcement or non-military entities?
Regular purchasers who are not law enforcement / governmental agencies cannot be transferred machine guns manufactured after 1986. All other NFA items are fine for Oregon residents. Your state laws may vary.
What is NFA?
The 1935 National Firearms Act restricted the transfer of certain items (declared “firearms” by the act) which include machine guns, silencers, short barreled rifles and shotguns, and some other types with certain features which were then classified as “any other weapons”. The transfer of these “firearms” required the payment of a $200 tax to the Government and registration with their central registry. In the late 1980s federal firearms legislation prohibited newly manufactured machine guns from transfer to anybody other than authorized dealers and governmental agencies. This is what is called a “post '86” firearm. You can't have one. Neener. Talk to your congressman if this upsets you (as it should).
What is required for an NFA transfer?
For normal folk, any short barreled rifle or shotgun, or silencer, needs to be transferred to them using an ATF supplied Form 4. You can get one of these online here: http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5320-4.pdf This form needs to be filled out and signed in duplicate (a photo copy of the first ought to do), a passport quality photo attached to both. Under normal circumstances you will need sheriff or chief of police sign-off on this form. You will also need to supply fingerprint cards which have to be done by law enforcement. Normal turnaround time for Form 4s is about four to six months wait. The cost of regular transfer tax is $200, paid to the ATF. AOW transfer taxes cost $5 to the ATF. The normal situation is that they cash the check you send long before they actually get to your paperwork. Calls can be made to the ATF to check on the status of the application, though doing before about two to three months is a venture in futility. They are way behind, currently.
Does STS do permanent flash hiders to make up the 16 inch legal barrel length?
Yes, we do this for an added charge of $50, plus the cost of the brake or muzzle device (if not already included in the price of the rifle), plus the cost difference in the barrel (if any). Some barrels shorter than 14.5” can have certain devices permanently installed to make a legal 16” length (as measured from the muzzle to the bolt face with the bolt closed).
Is there an advantage to having my silencer coated?
Ceramic has the properties of cooling surfaces much faster than normal finishes. Keeping silencers/suppressors cool has many advantages including reduced wear and tear, more sound/flash suppression for longer strings of fire, and it cools quicker to help avoid burns to the shooter or his equipment.
Can STS receive NFA items for coating?
Yes. Under the gunsmithing exception, STS can receive NFA items for refinishing and repair services in the same manner as normal GCA (Gun Control Act of 1968) firearms.

While traveling in Prague, you should visit some of the most important attractions. The National Theater is the heart and soul of Czech opera and one of the most magnificent structures in the country. The city is also home to many art museums, including the National Museum, the largest in the country. In addition to the National Theater, there are several other must-see sights in Prague. Listed below are just a few of these attractions. While exploring Prague, you should also check out Prague ZOO. If you are looking for top 10 things to do in Prague visit this website prague.org
The beautiful fortress and park of Vyehrad is situated south of Prague’s central city. This part of town is a little bit off the beaten path, and many short-term visitors miss it. However, if you have enough time to spend here, it’s a wonderful place to see. Here, you can find some of the best things to do in Prague.
The Powder Tower, one of the oldest gates in the city, is another great place to spend time. The tower is named for its past role as a place to store gunpowder. Today, you can find sculptures of monarchs at the top. The view of Namesti Republiky from the top of the tower is simply breathtaking. You can also get some exercise on the nearby slopes.
Prague ZOO Czech Republic
If you love animals, you must visit Prague Zoo. The zoo is home to various species of animals and plants, which will certainly make your visit to Prague more interesting and entertaining. There is an elephant exhibit as well, which you can experience at close quarters. You can also see the training sessions of lions and tigers. If you have children, you can take them to the Children’s Zoo, which provides them with a chance to touch rabbits, goats, and horses.
Prague Castle Pražský Hrad
There are many ways to see and experience the historic buildings at Prague Castle. Getting a tour of Prague Castle is free but you must make a reservation beforehand. You can also buy tickets to the palace and its surrounding grounds to skip the line and enjoy the view without waiting in line. The castle complex is huge and you can take an hour-long tour or two. If you want to take a longer tour, you can buy a Prague City Card, which grants you free entry to several Prague sights and discounts on other activities.
Prague Astronomical Clock Czech Republic
The main stationary background of a Prague astronomical clock is filled with information. The outermost circle is marked with glyphs representing the ancient time of the Czech Republic, while the inner ring is marked with Roman numerals that indicate the time in 24 hours. The sun and moon are represented by various hues of red and blue. The main dial also has Roman numerals, which show the local time, and the Earth is in the center of the dial.
Petrin Tower Prague
When you are visiting Prague, you cannot miss out on a visit to the famous Petrin Tower. Standing at 63.5 meters high, this tower is similar to Paris’ Eiffel Tower. Its design was inspired by the Eiffel Tower, and the idea for the Petrin tower came from the Club of Czech Tourists that visited Paris. While the Club was impressed with the world exposition, they wanted to give the Czech lands something to be proud of. The tower provides the same experience to visitors.
Old Town Square Prague
The main square of Prague is called Wenceslas Square, which is surrounded by numerous other buildings. The center of the square is home to a large equestrian statue and the Neo-Gothic Wenceslas House, a former palace built in the late 18th century for a wealthy citizen of Prague who owned a publishing company. The old palace is now a museum, and is also known as the Kinsky Palace. It was built on the foundations of an early medieval castle with usglobalworld.
Lesser Town Prague
If you’re in Prague and planning a city break, one of the most interesting places to visit is Lesser Town. The area is home to several historical sites, and it’s a must-see if you’re planning to spend any time in the city. You can start by exploring Old Town Square, where you’ll find the famous Astronomical Clock and the Tyn Church. Nearby, you can also find the Jewish Quarter and the Josefov area. Be sure to visit the Old Town Hall, which features a 15th century Astronomical Clock, which displays the 12 Apostles on each hour.
Kampa Island Prague
For an unmatched view of Prague, go to Kampa Island, a lesser-visited neighborhood of the city. You can access Kampa by walking across the Charles Bridge, which connects the Old town to Lesser town. On your way to Kampa, you’ll cross over the picturesque ‘Na Kampe’ square and continue along the tree-lined promenade.
At the downstream end of Kampa Island, you’ll find the Devil’s Inlet, a natural stream that once powered seven water wheels. You can spend some time here, or visit the Seven Devil’s House (Seven Devil’s House). There’s also an exhibition of David Cerny’s “Babies” in the Kampa Modern Art Museum. You’ll probably also want to ride the Little Venice River Cruise, which leaves from the Charles Bridge.
Dancing House Prague
If you’re in Prague, you might be interested in visiting The Dancing House. The building stands on Ranovo nábe, and was designed by Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Miluni in collaboration with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, The Dancing House was built to showcase modern architecture in a unique way. It was opened to the public in May 2010 on the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Canadian national.
Charles Bridge Prague
If you’re planning a trip to Prague, you’ll definitely want to visit Charles Bridge. This medieval stone arch bridge spans the Vltava River in the Czech Republic. Construction began in 1357 and was completed in the early 15th century. Today, the bridge is one of the most photographed sites in Prague. While the bridge isn’t as spectacular as the Eiffel Tower or the Golden Roof, you’ll definitely want to take some time to visit both.
The most striking feature of Charles Bridge is its sculpture of three saints. It’s the most expensive sculpture on the bridge, and was commissioned by Frantisek Josef Thun, lord of Klasterec nad Ohri. It’s believed that the statue was originally commissioned to honor two of the founders of the Trinitarian movement, which supervised the buying of Christians in captivity under the Turks. However, the original crucifix had to be destroyed in the 15th century by Protestant Hussites, and the city council paid for a new one in 1714. The sculpture’s base depicts three chained Christians praying.

This recipe came to me one day because I just wanted a simple breakfast dish you can pop in the oven, walk away and then enjoy when it’s ready.. I was in serious food heaven when I tried one of these apple cinnamon french toast sandwiches, every bite tasted better than the next and I did’nt want it to end 😉 They are also really filling and one is plenty.. I promise the family will love this delicious french toast creation and it is so easy to make! Serves 4 at 4 freestyle smart points each (not incl the syrup) and you can easily increase it to serve 6 if necessary.
Apple cinnamon french toast sanwiches
- 8 slices of low calorie bread, such as Sara Lee, here in Canada I used the new PC low calorie bread.
- 2 apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/3 cup liquid egg whites, in the carton
- 1 cup 1% milk
- Preheat oven to 350F, spray a casserole type dish with some cooking spray, I used a 9x13 but you can use whatever size will fit your bread.
- Mix your diced apples and 1 tsp cinnamon (leave other tsp aside) in a microwave safe bowl, cover tightly with some saran wrap and microwave for about 3 minutes, then stir well.
- Lay out 4 slices of your bread in your dish, top evenly with your apples, then place your other 4 slices of bread on top to make sandwiches.
- In a large bowl or a large measuring cup whisk your eggs and egg whites together, and in your milk and 1 tsp cinnamon, as an alternative you can sprinkle the cinnamon on the bread before pouring your egg mixture.
- Pour your egg mixture over your sandwiches cover them as well as you can, in my case since I used the bigger dish I did have mixture that went out into the ends of the dish, but it will all still be part of the serving.
- Bake in oven for approx 45 minutes, make sure eggs are cooked.
- Serve with some syrup, I used the ED.Smith no sugar added syrup, 2Tbsp is 1SP..
- Makes 4 servings, to make 6 just increase your ingredients by half (so 12 slices of bread, 3 apples, 3 tsp cinnamon, 6 eggs, 2 cups egg whites and 1.5 cups milk)
- *Optional to add sugar-free syrup

Lough Derg, the Sanctuary of St Patrick, is a unique island of pilgrimage, in a small lake in County Donegal, Ireland. Lough Derg has been welcoming pilgrims for over 1,000 years. In the past 150 years alone, almost 2 million people have spent time in prayer on the holy Island. When it comes to celebrating the Year of Faith many are planning to do so by making the Three Day Pilgrimage. Some will return after many years, others for the first time.
All will make ‘Stations’: they will walk barefooted, kneel on the hallowed beds, fast and keep vigil. All the while they will be connecting with suffering and starving people of our world, while keeping in touch with the soil and the rocks of the earth, their feet firmly on the ground.
They will ‘do the pilgrimage’ as people say, because Lough Derg, like so much in Celtic Spirituality, is about doing. It is a Body Prayer – you do it.
And when you have completed it you will have a great feeling of satisfaction. You will have done Lough Derg. Those who have will tell you that the feeling you have on the morning of the third day when you put on your shoes again is unequalled; there is nothing really like it. You feel refreshed, renewed, cleansed, energised. It really is a kind of resurrection experience.
Lough Derg is inviting people to join in the Gathering and Celebrate this Year of Faith by doing Lough Derg.

North Seattle Community College's
@2002 -- The information contained in this document
This week we expand on our geologic skills developed over the past few weeks. The Internet offers some excellent learning tools developed by educators and public agencies. Our textbook also provides many examples of real geologic structures on which to practice observational and analytic techniques. The lab exercise this week has 20 questions which are worth 1 to 4 points each for a possible 30 POINTS TOTAL.
*All photographs shown
in this lab exercise are online at:
II. Strikes and Dips:
Please visit the Lower Ugab valley in Namibia. If you can't make it in person, then open your textbook to Figure 9-1 on page 152, or click on the image below.
Beautiful spot to park our land rover and explore! We see such folding and faulting -- and it doesn't take a geologist to appreciate the earth stresses involved! Of course, our friends and/or family (along for the ride) expect us to provide some interpretation of exactly what we are seeing.
Question 1 (1 point). What type of fold is this? Look at the types of folds shown in Figure 9-8 of our textbook. Which one(s) of these might best describe this fold? _________________
Question 2 (1 point). The folding is so extreme that it is difficult to decide which rock layers are the younger ones and which are older. What sedimentary structures could we look for to help us decide which layers are younger and which are older? (See page 139 of your textbook). _____________________
Question 3 (1 point).If the rock layers get younger as you go from right to left across the outcrop (so the most recently formed layers are to the left), is this fold an anticline or syncline? Why? (Remember about the distinction based on the relative age of the innermost rocks.) _________________
Question 4 (1 point). Walk directly across the road from your rover. At that location on the outcrop, measure the dip of that very thick light-color sedimentary layer near the bottom of the cliff. What is the dip direction and angle? _____________________
Question 5 (1 point).Follow this same layer to where it curves and reaches the top of the outcrop. What is its dip direction and angle now? ______________________
Question 6 (1 point). Notice the fault that runs through the structure just behind the jeep. It is pretty obvious where it cuts through the thickest light-color unit about one-third the way up the outcrop. You can also follow this fault all the way to the top of the outcrop (use a ruler and follow the straight line of this fault). What type of fault is this (normal, reverse, thrust)? Why? _____________________
Question 7 (1 point). One centimeter on this photograph is equivalent to about 2 meters (6 feet) on the real outcrop. For example, we can measure that the land rover is 2 cm long. This is equivalent to 4 meters (12 feet) for the actual vehicle. So now we can use our ruler to determine how much of a shift has occurred along this fault. Measure the distance (in meters) based on the observed offset for that lower thick light-color sedimentary layer. How much offset is there? __________
Question 8 (1 point). Carefully follow the fault to the top of the outcrop. Look for the patterns in the layers on each side of the fault to see which ones match up. What is the approximate offset (in meters) along this fault line at the top of the outcrop? What layers did you base this estimate on? _____________________
III. Interpretation of Geologic Cross-Sections:
To review our principles of relative dating as applied to geologic cross-sections, we will make use of a neat learning tool available on the Internet. "Athro Limited" is a private company which provides education modules on the Internet. Click here to access the activities related to the interpretation of geologic sequences.
Question 9 (4 points). Find the list of hypothetical geologic examples and click on "fault." We are asked to determine the correct sequence of geologic events shown by the cross-section. In order to do this, we need to apply the principles of relative dating which we have learned. As your answer to this question, complete the sequence correctly and explain the logic and principle behind your choice for each event. Your explanations are as important as the correct sequence in earning the points for this exercise.
Question 10 (4 points). Return to the list of hypothetical geologic examples and click on "folds and an intrusion." We are again asked to determine the correct sequence of geologic events shown by the cross-section. Again, complete the sequence correctly and explain the logic and principle behind your choice for each event.
Question 11 (4 points). Finally, return to the list of hypothetical geologic examples and click on "two intrusions." Again, complete the sequence correctly and explain the logic and principle behind your choice for each event. This is a much more difficult exercise than the previous two because we will find several possibilities for the sequence of geologic events . You do not need to complete the second half of this particular exercise (about resolving these ambiguities in the relative dating).
An excellent Internet educational tool has been developed to step students through the process of locating the epicenter of an earthquake and determining its magnitude on the Richter scale. This interactive "Virtual Earthquake" activity is part of a series of "Geology Labs On-Line." These labs were designed by Gary A. Novak of the California University at Los Angeles and supported by grants from the US National Science Foundation and the California State University System.
The learning module nicely steps us through the analysis and completes the calculations. Please write down your answers along the way so that you can copy them to the submission form for this lab. Click here to begin. Read through and complete each step. Choose any one of the four options for generating an earthquake.
Question 12 (1 point). Which earthquake region did you choose? _______________________
Question 13 (1 point). What are the three seismic stations and what are the three S-P interval times for these three seismic stations? _______________________
Question 14 (1 points). Convert the three S-P interval times to distances using the travel-time graph provided. (NOTE: The S-P curve is simply the difference in the S curve and P curve that is shown in your lab manual's travel-time graph for earthquake waves.) These three distances are: ____________
Question 15 (1 point). Compare your calculated epicenter location with the true epicenter location. Where is the true epicenter in latitude and longitude? Click here to link to an Internet program which will provide latitude and longitude information on any city in the world. Select the "Astrodienst Atlas" option and input the city closest to the epicenter location. This city and its geographic coordinates are: ______________________
Question 16 (2 points). Now we will proceed to calculate the magnitude of this earthquake. Follow the instructions in the online module. What are the three S wave amplitudes you measured? _____________
Question 17 (1 point). What is your estimate for the Richter magnitude of the earthquake and how does it compare to the true magnitude? _________________
Question 18 (1 point). Complete the final form and receive your Certificate of Completion. Copy and paste it into the space provided for this answer on your lab submission form.
Question 19 (1 point). Pick a city in the world where a seismic station would only receive P waves but not the S waves from this earthquake. You will need to use a globe or world map in order to make your choice. Name the city and its country and explain why it would not receive the S waves from this earthquake. ______________
Question 20 (1 point). Pick a city in the world where a seismic station would receive neither the P waves nor the S waves from this earthquake. Name the city and its country and explain why it would not receive the P or the S waves from this earthquake. ______________
Turkey Earthquake, August 17, 1999

Civic body issues eviction notices to all shops in the CST subway within 30 days
Mumbai: The Mumbaikars will soon have a free walk in the crowded subways at CST and Churchgate. The MCGM has issued eviction notices to all shops in the CST subway within 30 days. However, the shops at Churchgate subway have also been asked to evacuate.
As per the data acquired by the civic administration, about 51 shops are at CST and 22 shops at Churchgate. Everyday lakhs of people commute from these subway, making them one of the busiest pedestrian subways in the city. However, there were complaints that the owners had sub-leased their shops to others at astronomical rates.
The civic chief Ajoy Mehta had directed civic officials to make both the subways hawker-free to ensure smooth ride for commuters.
Sanjay Kurhade, assistant municipal commissioner (markets).
“The MCGM has issued notices to shop owners in both CST and Churchgate subways. And now the shops and hawkers will be moved out for the convenience of the people.”
Local Shiv Sena corporator, Ganesh Sanap, in several markets and garden committee meetings, had raised the issue of removal of shops from the subways. “The purpose for which these subways were built was not served as most of the place was gobbled up by shop owners and hawkers creating trouble for pedestrians. As far as revenue loss is concerned, the MCGM can recover it by putting up advertisement hoardings inside the subways,” he said.
The CST subway, having 2,870-square-metre area and built at a cost of Rs 15 crore, was thrown open to public in September 1999. The Churchgate subway had become operational in the year 1991. Temporary licences were given to the shopkeepers in both the subways.
After the evacuation of shop owners and hawkers, the civic body has planned to improve ventilation and cleanliness at the CST subway on the lines of Metro Cinema junction subway, which has no shops. Security guards will also be deployed to ensure that there are no illegal hawkers and encroachers, said a senior civic official.

“[The Crossing Guard] reverberates with emotion and gentle humour.” —Jon Kaplan, NOW Magazine
Every day after school, seventeen-year-old Timothy waits at the neighbourhood crosswalk where years earlier his older sister disappeared. Every day he crosses the street with Jim, the elderly crossing guard. It’s a ritual Timothy thinks might go on forever, until one day he arrives and Jim is absent. Instead, standing at the crosswalk is a young woman—a young woman who looks a lot like his missing sister. The Crossing Guard is a tender meditation on the limits of fidelity.
Ben’s teenaged daughter Claire is hit by a car. To ease his conscience, Leon, the driver, approaches Ben with a cheque. Which Ben takes. But now why is Leon calling Ben at work and showing up on his front lawn? And what’s going on with Claire, now recovered, throwing rocks at the window of the boy who lives across the street? In Full Light is a riveting exploration of obligation, obsession and desire.

ANR Robinson International Airport in Crown Point, Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago, is undergoing a major expansion to boost the tourism industry in the country. The airport is owned by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago and operated by the Airports Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (ATCEN), a government airport management agency.
With an investment of TTD870m ($128.5m), the expansion is expected to be completed in 2022. The expansion of the Trinidad and Tobago airport will boost private investment in Tobago due to improved transport links.
The project is focused on delivering upgrades and improvements to the airport facilities and services while supporting the economy of the country. A new terminal being developed as part of the international airport’s expansion is anticipated to contribute to an increase in air travel services to Tobago. It will also enhance the capacity of flights to and from Tobago and generate more jobs in the tourism sector.
The expansion will facilitate more direct flights between the island and New York, Orlando, Houston, Miami, Newark, and Fort Lauderdale in the US.
ANR Robinson International Airport location and expansion details
The international airport is located at the south-western tip of the Island of Tobago, approximately 13km from Scarborough, the capital city of Tobago. The location is close to various major sites and attractions on the island.
The project involves the construction of a new, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified passenger terminal area for domestic and international operations. It also includes the expansion of the tarmac and construction of a new car park, taxiway, apron, and ramp. A new road will provide access to the new terminal building from the Shirvan Road intersection to the Claude Noel Highway.
The expansion is guided by key objectives such as minimising environmental impact and ensuring sustainability.
New terminal building
The new passenger terminal is being built east of the existing ATC tower area to accommodate three million passengers a year. Interim facilities are being developed in the existing terminal’s domestic operations area to improve services and continue operations until the new terminal is operational.
The expansion project is being implemented in two phases. Phase one involves the construction of a new terminal building and associated works while the second phase involves the construction of a new airport access road.
Other developments at the airport
The ANR international airport has been continuously upgraded to maintain international standards. A new first-class lounge was built in 2015 along with other renovations. The lounge development project involved new and renovation works to the upper level of the airport.
An in-transit area was added to the existing Departure Terminal along with a new enclosed area for the luggage carousel. The existing terminal building at the airport was renovated and modified in June 2016.
ANR Robinson International Airport background
Previously known as the Crown Point International Airport, the airport was renamed as the Arthur Napoleon Raymond (ANR) Robinson International Airport after Trinidad and Tobago’s former prime minister ANR Robinson in 2011. Opened in December 1940, the airport is served by five international airlines.
The ongoing expansion will reduce the pressure caused by the rising traffic growth on the existing infrastructure.
Key players and contractors involved
The National Infrastructure and Development Company (NIDCO) is responsible to supervise and manage the development of the airport terminal building and associated airside and landside works at the ANR Robinson International Airport. ACQ & Associates, a land acquisition consultant specialist, assisted NIDCO in the land acquisition process for the project.
China Railway Construction (Caribbean) Company was selected as the contractor for the airport expansion project. The Development Bank of Latin America agreed to fund the expansion project and provide technical assistance to the main contractor.

The woman who was attacked outside Whole Foods in West Berkeley on Sunday night was “choked and strangled” repeatedly and “felt at one point that she could lose consciousness,” police said in a statement released Tuesday.
The woman is a psychologist with the Berkeley Mental Health Mobile Crisis Team who was on duty at the time of the call.
The mental health worker was dispatched to the scene after a man at Farmburger, at 1313 Ninth St. just south of Whole Foods, was threatening to harm himself. But when the officer arrived, the man was nowhere to be found. The mental health worker had parked at Whole Foods when BPD dispatched her.
A short time later, according to police, 24-year-old Eric Bruylant forced his way into the woman’s vehicle, then attacked her. She was choked and strangled and felt she could lose consciousness, authorities said. Bruylant and the woman were strangers, police said.
After a struggle, the woman was able to get out of her vehicle and Bruylant drove away with her cellphone.
Police said Bruylant crashed a short distance away, however, then ran from the car. Officers quickly caught up with him and took him into custody at gunpoint.
Bruylant was identified by the victim and a witness.
According to police, he told officers “he was trying to kill the victim and he wanted to take her vehicle. He also admitted to taking her phone.”
Bruylant was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, robbery and attempted carjacking, according to police. He is being held without bail at Berkeley Jail and is scheduled for arraignment Wednesday at 9 a.m. at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse in Oakland.

The Model 65XP is a powerful, compact unit that makes a great 6 inch capacity machine for tree care services and rental companies catering to brush cleanup and backyard applications. A 6 inch high by 12 inch wide chipper throat opening is nearly twice the size of most competitive units offered in its class. The Model 65XP is highly maneuverable and built using solid steel welded construction so it will provide years of dependable service for homeowners, rental customers, and tree care services. A wide array of gas and diesel engine options are available, ranging from 25 to 44.2 horsepower.
2,700 lbs. with diesel engine
|The Model 65XP has a fast feed rate of 80 feet per minute that will easily keep two people busy feeding it. A powerful single, pivoting feed wheel that is 10-5/8 inches in diameter by 11-1/2 inches wide driven by a large 32.7 CID hydraulic motor provides plenty of pulling power that will pull and compress limby, hard-to-manage material. Production is increased with this powerful feed system, thus limiting trimming and chainsaw work. An optional dual-feed wheel system can be added for additional pulling and compressing power. Material is fed and is chipped at 90-degree angle to the chipper disc, also making it effective with processing viney, stringy, and brushy materials.|
|The approximate weight of this unit, depending upon selected options, is 1,850 pounds for gas engines and 2,700 pounds for diesel engines. This includes the durable 26 inch diameter by 3/4 inch thick chipper disc and solid chassis construction using continuous steel welds as opposed to bolt-together techniques. Component weight is distributed and supported on a sturdy, balanced frame that provides the necessary physical reinforcement for chipping while allowing the machine to be towed easily.|
|The Model 65XP has a 7 gallon hydraulic tank and an 8 gallon fuel tank. The discharge can manually rotate 360 degrees and has an adjustable deflector for directional control of the broadcasted chips. Optional upgrades including automatic feed system governor, swivel and height adjustable discharge options, and a robust dual-wheel feed system are available. A full palette of standard and custom paint colors gives you the freedom to choose the look of your brand or company.|
|The Model 65XP, as with all Bandit chippers, is designed and equipped with operator safety in mind. Standard items that accommodate any chipper package include guards that cover all moving parts, engine disabling plugs, disc / drum locks, wooden push paddles, safety control bar, and other Bandit patented and patent pending devices such as the "last chance" cables. Also, all components on Bandit chippers are designed to be easily accessible to save time on routine maintenance schedules and to reduce downtime by being more serviceable out in the field. Thus, Bandit chippers have proven over time to be the best economical decision you can make for a long-term investment in a brush chipper.|

China Merchants Bank has agreed to invest $200 million (roughly Rs. 1,360 crores) in ride-hailing startup Didi Kuaidi as part of its latest $3 billion (roughly Rs. 24,012 crores) fundraising round, a person with knowledge of the matter said.
A Didi Kuaidi spokeswoman declined to comment on China Merchants Bank’s (CMB) investment but said China’s largest ride-hailing company is now valued at $16.5 billion (roughly Rs. 1,12,266 crores) after the overall fundraising round. In September, Didi Kuaidi confirmed it had raised $3 billion.
CMB declined to comment.
Didi Kuaidi, which is backed by China’s biggest e-commerce firm Alibaba Group Holding and leading social networking company Tencent Holdings, is battling with US startup Uber Technology Inc’s local arm, a smaller but well-funded rival.
On Tuesday, Didi Kuaidi announced a strategic partnership with CMB, under which customers of the bank can use their credit cards to pay for Didi Kuaidi rides, and the bank will help the startup’s drivers finance new car purchases. That, in turn, could expand the firm’s pool of drivers and help current drivers buy better cars to improve service.
With $3 billion of funding, Didi Kuaidi wants to pick investors who can provide more than just money, Jean Liu, the company’s president, said on Tuesday.
Previously disclosed investors in the round were China Investment Corp, Capital International Private Equity Fund, Ping An Ventures, Alibaba, Tencent, Temasek and Coatue Management.

Cats have the ability to groom themselves, and as a matter of fact, they hate to be unclean. You as a responsible cat owner, your cat’s cleanness lies squarely on your shoulders. Grooming is very important for your cat because it not only determine your cat’s cleanness but its health as well. As a cat owner, you can do some simple grooming for your cat on a regular basis before you take it to a professional pet groomer.
If you can groom your cat all by yourself, why then do you need the services of a professional groomer? Read on because as we highlight the six main reasons as to why you should have a professional cat groomer groom your cat.
Grooming Helps Your Cat To Relax
Regular grooming of your cat helps your pet to learn to relax. Bathing, combing or even trimming the nails of a cat that is nervous is a task that you can never dare to try. If you want to help your cat learn to relax, you need to take your cat regularly to the groomer for grooming sessions.
When a groomer is using the nail clipper or de-shedding tool on your cat, it is necessary that your cat should be calm. Otherwise, it might lead to injuries. Using some grooming tools like the nail clipper can be challenging if your cat is anxious and restless.
Regular grooming sessions will make your cat understand that whatever is happening to it and it will, with time learn to relax. When your cat is relaxed while the groomer is grooming it, for example, cutting its fur or clipping its nails, will help the cat to stay safe and eliminate the chances of injuries happening.
Reduces Chances Of Allergies
It is an established fact that well-groomed cats are much less prone to allergies. For example, if you let your cat out for a walk and it passes through some plants or grass and pollen grains attach to the fur of your cat if your cat is allergic to any of those pollen grains, it is likely to develop allergies.
Grooming your cat on a regular basis helps to combat the pollen grain allergies such as ragweed pollens. Whenever your cat goes out and brings this pollens, there are high chances that these allergens will get deposited on different parts of your home e.g. sofa, carpet or floor.
Bathing your cat is not the solution to the allergy problem. If you take your cat to a professional groomer, the groomer will perform a holistic grooming on your pet to make your pet free from any chances of allergies. That is not all; a professional groomer will use different grooming detergents and chemicals such as Otic solution, forceps and goose clothe to clean your cat’s ears hence ensuring that your cat is not exposed to not only allergies but also any other infectious microbes that might be hiding in the ears of your cat.
Perfectly Trimmed Fur
If you over trim the coat of your cat, it exposes your pet to many dangers including skin infection, injuries or sunburns. To avoid these dangers, a professional groomer knows what the perfect length that your cat’s hair should be so that it does not expose your cat to unforeseen risks.
A professional pet groomer has the right kind of tools which he can use to cut the fur of your cat entirely so as not to expose the skin as well help it to remain clean and healthy.
Once your cat’s coat has been trimmed, on a regular basis comb it so as to get rid of any loose fur. The benefits of a perfectly cut cat hair include a shiny coat and healthier skin.
Improved Cat Hygiene
Professional pet groomers can improve the general hygiene of your cat. As much as you are capable of bathing your cat by yourself, it does not guarantee that your pet will have good hygiene. Groomers are professionally trained hence they are capable of ensuring the maximum hygiene of your cat. The groomer will pay attention to your cat’s eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other vital body parts. A good pet hygiene is important in your home to prevent it carrying diseases and infect your loved ones at home, particularly if you have young children.
Keeps Diseases At Bay
The long hair that grows on your cat’s ears and eyes can absorb water which will act as the breeding ground of disease causing bacteria. It is therefore important that your cat get a regular grooming session with your trusted groomer regularly. Cleanliness is one of the health requirements for the well-being of your cat. That is why a regular date with your pet’s groomer is a must.
A professional groomer works to establish a good relationship with your cat. Grooming is an important aspect of your cat’s routine and you will want your cat to look forward to every visit.
Your cat might be anxious naturally, or it might have had a bad grooming experience before. If you take your cat to a professional groomer, the groomer will know how to create a bond with your cat by treating it with love and respect and even talking gently to it. The groomer will ensure that your pet gets the best grooming experience. Cats just like people have different personalities; an experienced groomer will know how to handle your pet in such a way that it will feel comfortable.
In fact, if your cat has separate anxiety, you can engage professional groomer to pay you a house visit instead of going to the salon or pet shop.
Many people might think that cats do not need professional grooming when in fact, they do. Particularly if your cat has long fur, you need to upkeep it regularly to prevent its hair from being matted. Grooming for cats is not only for its health and appearance, it is also for the cleanliness of your home and the health of you and your family members.

OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
A judge in Arizona has handed Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake a win over the declared winner in the race, Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. On Friday, the Maricopa County judge granted Lake’s request to inspect ballots as her legal contesting of the November election continues.
Reports noted that Judge Peter Thompson signed off on three out of four requests made by Lake via her legal team to review 50 random “ballot on demand” printed ballots cast on Election Day, as well as another 50 early ballots cast from “six separate Maricopa County batches,” and another 50 random ballot-on-demand printed ballots that were marked as spoiled.
However, Thompson rejected a request from Lake to inspect 50 randomly selected early ballot envelopes.
Townhall reported that the ballot inspections are to commence on Tuesday.
Lake’s team praised the ruling. Last week, Lake remarked that “if the process was illegitimate then so are the results.” She has yet to concede to Hobbs, though state officials, including her own office, have certified her as the winner by about 17,000 votes.
“I am thankful to Judge Peter Thompson and his team for the work they do and we are confident that given the opportunity, we will expose this election for the sham it was,” Lake said in a statement.
Earlier this week, Lake provided an update to former White House strategist Steve Bannon about her lawsuit on his top-rated Real America’s Voice podcast.
Andy Gaona, who represented the Secretary of State’s Office, asked the judge on Tuesday to keep the case on a short schedule in hopes that it will be dismissed quickly.
“Essentially a one-day hearing should give the plaintiffs the opportunity to make whatever case they believe they have, a case we believe is nonexistent,” Gaona said during Tuesday’s virtual hearing.
Gaona told the judge that Hobbs is set to be sworn in as governor in early January and that allowing the lawsuit to run too long will disrupt the peaceful transition of power. Arizona’s current GOP Gov. Doug Ducey has been term-limited.
Bryan Blehm, an attorney representing Lake, asked the judge for more time to work through arguments.
“This is a pretty significant factual hearing, your honor,” Blehm said.
“Judge Peter Thompson said he did have some concerns about timing. He scheduled two hours on Monday for oral arguments for the motions to dismiss and set a two-day hearing scheduled for later next week. There appears to be major interest in the case. Tuesday’s hearing was delayed by about half an hour because so many members of the public were trying to log into the virtual courtroom,” KJZZ reported.
Maricopa County spokesman Fields Moseley said that the courts are the appropriate place to handle such claims and that Maricopa’s election division “looks forward to sharing facts about the administration of the 2022 General Election and our work to ensure every legal voter had an opportunity to cast their ballot,” Reuters reported.
Lake believes her lawsuit will prevail and said she’s willing to “take it all the way to the Supreme Court” if necessary.
“We’re ready to go with what we believe to be an exceptional lawsuit. And we believe we will be victorious in that lawsuit,” Lake told Steve Bannon on the War Room podcast. “We’ll take it all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to. We will not stop fighting.”
“We’re ready to go with what we believe to be an exceptional lawsuit. And we believe we will be victorious in that lawsuit,” Lake told Bannon in an earlier interview regarding her case.
“We’ll take it all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to. We will not stop fighting,” she said.
U.S. District Judge John Tuchi of the District of Arizona rejected a Lake lawsuit earlier this year and then moved to fine her attorneys and those of Republican Secretary of State candidate Mark Finchem last week.
“Imposing sanctions, in this case, is not to ignore the importance of putting in place procedures to ensure that our elections are secure and reliable,” Tuchi wrote in his order. “It is to make clear that the Court will not condone litigants ignoring the steps that Arizona has already taken toward this end and furthering false narratives that baselessly undermine public trust at a time of increasing disinformation about, and distrust in, the democratic process.
Lake’s team responded that Tuchi sounded like an “angry Obama appointee.”

The Public Health Agency (PHA) has identified ways of delivering cardiovascular services that will help to tackle health inequalities. These are described in a new “health impact assessment” report, launched on 1 June at the Maureen Sheehan Centre, Belfast.
The PHA, in partnership with a wide variety of community, voluntary and statutory bodies, leads the work to improve cardiovascular health and wellbeing, through better prevention and treatment services, delivered through a ‘cardiovascular service framework’. The result of a wide consultation, this new report will help to improve the way those services are delivered by focusing on the needs of disadvantaged people.
Explaining the importance of this work, Dr Adrian Mairs, Consultant in Public Health Medicine, PHA, said: “The Public Health Agency was set up to tackle health inequalities and promote better health and wellbeing across Northern Ireland. Despite many improvements in prevention and treatment, cardiovascular diseases remain the main cause of death in Northern Ireland. We know that these diseases, including heart disease, stroke, circulation problems, diabetes and renal disease have a greater and more severe impact on people living in poverty.
“This work will help us to reduce the health inequalities that exist in our society by improving the way cardiovascular services are developed and delivered, eg ensuring stop smoking services meet local needs, identifying and treating high blood pressure, and helping people to take their medicines properly.”
The health impact assessment has been developed from other work, including a literature review, cardiovascular health and wellbeing profile, and full technical report. All of these resources are available on the PHA website, under ‘Directorates’, ‘Service Development and Screening’. The work will also be used to help the development of service frameworks covering other disease areas.

The PGA Tour is laying out plans to increase purses at several marquee events and revamp its schedule in an effort to compete with the burgeoning LIV Golf Invitational Series, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan unveiled these plans at a players meeting at TPC River Highlands, the site of this week's Travelers Championship.
Per the reports, the PGA Tour wants to increase the purses at limited-field events in the regular season to at least $20 million and establish a new, lucrative fall schedule for the top 50 finishers in the FedEx Cup standings. Those new tournaments would rotate sites around the world and -- like LIV's tournaments -- have no cut.
The tour is likely to do away with the "wraparound" schedule from October through September that it introduced in 2013-14, returning instead to a calendar-year schedule. ESPN reported that top players on tour have expressed that there is no real offseason in the current format, with FedEx Cup points on the line in several events in October and November.
Current events that could see a hefty purse increase include The Players Championship, the Genesis Invitational, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Memorial and the Tournament of Champions. At present, the Players is the largest purse on tour, reaching $20 million for the first time last March.
The LIV series, backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, offers $25 million purses in its events and is said to have offered nine-figure advances to woo top players like Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau.
Abraham Ancer of Mexico became the latest player to join LIV, while reports Tuesday said that four-time major winner Brooks Koepka is making the jump as well.
Monahan is scheduled to speak with the media at TPC River Highlands on Wednesday, with the tournament beginning Thursday.

Last week, Obama finally got some traction with a speech that had a clear, consistent message -- jobs, jobs, jobs. Even the Republicans were reluctant to oppose him frontally.
Now, once again, Obama will mix his own message by emphasizing belt tightening in general and cuts in Medicare in particular. There is one silver lining:
The latest White House leaks suggest that a lobbying effort by progressives in Congress and nationally has persuaded the president not to increase the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67 as part of his deficit plan to be released today (Monday). Campaign for America's Future deserves particular thanks for its heroic efforts on this issue.


Want to know what’s happening at the General Assembly in Raleigh and how it might affect Western North Carolina? In addition to regular updates by Mark Barrett with the Asheville Citizen-Times, there are two locally based sources — one from former Mountain Xpress editor Nelda Holder and the other from the nonprofit, online media source Carolina Public Press.
CPP has a man in Raleigh: Kirk Ross is on the ground at the state legislature, observing, reporting and providing regular updates for the “Raleigh Report.”
Holder, who created the “NC Matters” blog for Xpress a few years ago, has picked up her pen again with a weekly blog, Politically Purple NC: Neither Right Nor Left, But Straight Ahead.
Raleigh Report, March 9:
Last week’s rapid thaw loosened more than the just the chunks of ice remaining on the sidewalks in Raleigh. With both of North Carolina’s state government chambers on a more-or-less regular schedule, legislation started to move again.
Many of the new bills are local acts, which have a fast-approaching deadline for introduction. Local bills must be introduced in the House by April 1 and the Senate by March 11. …
Senate Bill 141 would put a referendum on Nov. 3 ballot on the annexation of the 1,200 acre Lake Junaluska area into the town of Waynesville. The annexation would take effect on June 30, 2016, if approved by a majority of voters from both the town and the area under consideration. …
Western North Carolina was well represented at a recent press conference announcing legislation calling for a constitutional convention to overturn the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United.
Buncombe County legislators Rep. Susan Fisher, Rep. John Ager and Sen. Terry Van Duyn and Haywood County Rep. Joe Sam Queen, all Democrats, were on hand to show their support for the bill and rail against the ruling, which allowed the greater flow of so-called “dark money” into political races. …
Buncombe County Democrats Van Duyn and Fisher have filed legislation in their respective chambers aimed at reviving the adoption of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (Van Duyn has filed two bills: S147 and S184; Fisher has filed H166.) … — from the “Raleigh Report,” by Kirk Ross, Carolina Public Press
Politically Purple, March 9
Gov. Pat McCrory’s $21.5 billion state spending proposal took top billing in Raleigh last week, including something to displease just about anybody.
For example, there’s a bump in starting salaries for teachers (to $35,000 a year), and an over 50 percent increase in school supplies (including textbooks) for a total of $109 million. But veteran teachers remain stuck in a “step” system with no across-the-board pay increase proposed this year, and the North Carolina Association of Educators complains that the state set aside $188 million in classroom costs back in 2008, so the “increase” to $109 million in 2015 is not seen as equitable.
Groundwork for the treatment of Medicaid patients through potential Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) is budgeted at $1.2 million (while personal services contracts shrink by $1.2 million). At the same time, disagreement remains between the House and Senate regarding the use of ACOs versus moving the Medicaid program to private managed care organizations (MCOs).
McCrory did follow through on his State of the State address, proposing two new cabinet-level divisions: the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Information Technology. He is also proposing two bonds, as per his speech – one for transportation projects and another for government building repairs. Each proposal is expected to call for $1.2 to $1.4 billion, and legislative support has not been overwhelming at this point.
And on and on it will go for a while, or longer.
Meanwhile, in order to review the governor’s total budget proposal, the document is available online through the Office of State Budget and Management. Click here for the PDF version. — from “In the Statehouse: Budgets, Bikers, and Bills Aplenty,” March 9, by Nelda Holder
