Y.U.M.M.This is so amazingly delicious, the best hot chocolate recipe I've ever made.
Enjoyed making this wonderful Hot Chocolate for my grandchildren.
This is an easy and delicious recipe!
I used this recipe for a Hot Chocolate Bar for a gathering of friends and family. I tripled the recipe and after heating it I poured it in the crockpot to keep it warm. Only thing I did different when tripling it was adding 2 cups semisweet and 1 cup dark chocolate chips. Delicious!
This is my hubby and 4 kids favorite hot chocolate! It's so easy I don't even mind making it!
Used Fat Free Half 'n Half and Skim Plus Milk and the Hot Chocolate was excellent.How great would it be with regular half 'n half and milk!!! Definitely one of the best Hot Chocolate Drinks my daughter and I have had.
I made this and my teenage son and his friends loved it. It is like drinking chocolate... very rich and decadent. I cut the recipe in half to make 4 servings.
Love this recipe! So much better than the hot chocolate mixes that has who knows what in it (or even how to pronounce some of the ingredients listed on the packaging). Delicious and wholesome---what more could you want? Susan
Best hot chocolate I had!!!!! It's delicious absoulutley recommended to friends!!!!!!

I’m something of a traditionalist. My family tends to gravitate toward the same desserts every year for our holiday celebrations – sugar cookies, something pumpkin, and something with chocolate…but this year, I was feeling like trying something new. Enter Cranberry Pavlova. This recipe is part of our 2014 Holiday Brochure, and I was in love at first bite.
Bring the bold flavors of
ginger and sesame to a
variety of meals.
Life gets extra busy this time of year. Like everyone else, my family has the normal action-packed schedule…work, basketball practice, piano lessons, gymnastics, homework…not to mention, fitting in holiday activities like baking cookies, shopping, cutting down the tree… More ...

Had we stayed the course, we’d be home now. Instead, we set out for a tropical – Hawaiian -- paradise. . .
We’d really planned to go home when our time on Maui came to an end last week. Once home, we’d have figured out something to do for The Scout’s special birthday this week. . .
. . .but The Scout being The Scout found a screamin’ deal at the Four Seasons Resort on the island of Lana’i. And what better place to celebrate a milestone birthday? (An added plus: by changing our return date we got a better airfare that resulted in a credit to our airline account – even after paying the change fee.)
So, I write this post from The Four Seasons Resort,The Lodge at Ko’ele, in the upcountry of Lana’i. We left Maui with a population of 144,000 residents and 10 bizillion tourists for this island of 3,200 residents and three hotels – far more to our liking! We are 8.8 miles and light years away from Maui.
Those rainstorms I told you had hit Hawaii a few weeks ago, greened up the countryside around the resort which is tucked away in one of the most lush, luxurious settings in which we’ve ever found ourselves.
“But why be on an island, in a 5-star resort and have no beach?” you might be wondering. Well, Four Seasons operates two of the three hotels on the island; its sister property at Manele Bay is just a short shuttle ride away, giving us the best of both worlds – as guests here can use the beach there. And we do have distant ocean views from here.
We spent a morning exploring Manele Bay, and while it was quite lovely at the seaside, we’ve wrapped ourselves in history in this 102-room Lodge, set on what once was Ko’ele Ranch, a sprawling cattle ranch, set amid the pineapple fields that carpeted the island for most of the 20th Century.
When gazing out over the park-like setting in which we find ourselves, it is hard to think of the cattle ranch days.
Thanks to the Lanai Culture and Heritage Center I can show you how the ranch looked – long before it became a resort. The pond above and below is the same body of water.
According to the website, to-hawaii.com: “Some 45,000 - 50,000 sheep and lambs, 600 horses, 500 horned cattle, goats and hogs and numerous wild turkeys inhabited the island in 1893. Ko’ele evolved from a small village to a 250-people ranch complex, which had 30 residences, a local store, a one-room school house, offices and outlying buildings. Everything was focused on ranching. “
In Lana’i they keep the Hawaiian tradition of ‘talk story’ alive. People love to talk story about the past and present. We’ve enjoyed getting to know the locals and listen as they speculate on the small island’s future with its billionaire owner, Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle . We’ve heard some good ‘story’ and in keeping with the local tradition we plan to ‘talk story’ in the coming weeks with you about our “Paradise Found”.
We’ll take you on a tour of our room, (the deck pictured here), and through the Lodge. . . and tell you about the ono grindz we’ve eaten in charming restaurants – places whose owners send you to the grocery store to buy wine to have with your dinner. . .and the woman from Issaquah, WA who runs a killer clothing store here . . .and all the things to do here. . . oh, so much ‘talk story’ ahead. . .
A big aloha and welcome to our new followers and readers! So good to meet you. To all of you out there, thanks for the time you spend with us!

Hello Jackie and Joel:ReplyDelete
How absolutely fabulous all of this looks. We really cannot believe that you are there right now and that, on account of modern technology, you can share it all with us within seconds. What a wonderful place, away from it all, to enjoy both sea and countryside and yet staying in such luxury. You are most fortunate!!
We are particularly fascinated to see the contrast between how it all once looked and how it is today. Amazing that the stretch of water remains almost the same.
For now continue to enjoy yourselves. We shall much look forward to the next update.
You are right about technology. . .and the blogosphere for opening doors to travel that we never need leave our armchairs nor pack a bag to enjoy! See you again soon I hope!Delete
What a marvelous change of plans! So excited for you. :-) It makes me happy to know you get to extend your stay in such a gorgeous part of the world. :-)ReplyDelete
It has proven to be one of our best decisions ever...I'll post more photos soon to prove it. Thanks much for your visit - see you soon at 'your place'!Delete
It is amazing how immediately green the grass gets after rain. Those orchids are perfection.ReplyDelete
They have the most beautiful gardens - inside and out - here. I just can't believe the blooms! Thanks for visiting Jan.Delete
I always make an enjoyful break looking at your stunning, exotic photos and learning so much things for landsI have never visited.Thank you dear friends!ReplyDelete
Oh and you were at the sea as well and gave such a wonderful insight into the imaginations of those young sailors. See you soon!Delete
From the looks of it, the change in plan was/is a very good one. The place looks fantastic. :)ReplyDelete
It really is and the price was only a bit more than we had paid to stay in a Best Western in Maui. Thanks for visiting today - hope to see you again soon.Delete
This was so awesome, Jackie! I did a lot of sighing and awww'ing. I never made it over to Lanai so thank you for filling in the blanks as to what it's like there! I'm so not a crowds person and your description of Maui and all of the people remind me it's not what it was 20 years ago. Though still beautiful. Amazing to see those pine trees on Lanai! Great post and it made me smile :)ReplyDelete
Aloha Jackie and JoelReplyDelete
I think your scout made a very wise decision and enjoy your celebration.
It looks absolutely idyllic.
I love those huge skies.
I am delighted to see you are connected to Jane and Lance Hattatt, a couple I hold dearly to my heart.
What a brilliant way to spend a big birthday - and I'm so impressed with the Scout's ability to sniff out a deal. Perhaps you could lend him out.ReplyDelete
Enjoy the luxury and the colour green. I write this in a world of white at -20C in Quebec City.
It was an incredible deal he found - just a few dollars more than the kamaiana (local's rate). If we find another one like that we will be back there again. . .and soon!Delete
I don't know how The Scout did it, Jackie, but whenever I've changed my ticket, i've always ended up paying more. Wonder if he told the agent it was his milestone birthday? Happy Birthday to The Scout!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the B-day wishes. And he changed the airfare on-line. . .amazing how fares fluxuate if you start watching them closely. . .Delete
That looks so very lush, the island and especially the resort. Enjoyed reading, a little armchair getaway on a rainy day in Australia.ReplyDelete
We did have plenty of rain while in Hawaii this year - good for them because they've technically had a drought for the last few years, but it wasn't always blue skies. . .nice thing was that when the sun came out it was magic!Delete
It looks a lot greener than our usual haunt. England is wet and muddy, but at least it's not white with snow - as it often is at this time of year. Hope the day went well, Joel, and sorry we'll miss you later in the season - will toast your health in Raki.ReplyDelete
And we will do the same toast in return to you as well! We at least came home to a brief bit of sun but the forecast is for more rain the next five days.Delete
I can definitely see how it would be difficult to pass up such a great deal. Lanai looks so verdant and beautiful. We hear so much about Hawaii's beaches that it's easy to forget it's other charms. Thanks for reminding us.ReplyDelete
We had questioned whether we would like being among fir trees on an Hawaiian island and now that we've been there, we can hardly wait to return!Delete
I think I didn't understand how serendipitous the addition of Lanai to your itinerary was. (Finding the cheaper airfare -- very cool. I never even think to look after I've booked. I always assume any change is going to be more expensive). Lanai looks so different than Oahu around Honolulu where the vegetation is tropical. If I didn't know I was looking at photos of Lanai, I could have imagined somewhere in the mid-Atlantic states.ReplyDelete
Usually it is the potential change in airfare that can make or break our plans to 'go where the winds blow us' and in this case, we did find cheaper seats and because we were changing only one-way the change fee was half of the regular price. And yes, Lanai is so refreshingly different from Hawaii's larger cities that it is hard to wrap your head around what you are seeing.Delete
More time in paradise, cheaper airfare and a beautiful resort! What a way to travel!!ReplyDelete
Yup, that's just the way we saw it, Marilyn. Thanks for the visit!Delete
I may ask you to become my travel agent:-)ReplyDelete
"The Scout" does have a way of finding the deals and I try to report some of those that others might be interested in - we do love traveling and deals often determine the destination!Delete
You two really did luck in! that a gorgeous little piece of the world. I'm looking forward to more "story talk"! Thanks for linking up this week.ReplyDelete
I've got a lot more photos just waiting for Travel Photo Thursday, Nancie. "See you then' if not before. Have a good week!Delete

Jones delivers an expansive set of energized, floor-filling mixes punctuated with infectious, chugging electro grooves, trippy synth swells, warm ambient washes and soul-stirring vocal chants.
The new EP features Sophie Tusnelda and is available now in the shop and soon also in a physical copy as well from the shop.
“Gymnastics ” is the single from the EP “Circle”, and is written with a big inspiration from oldtimer Erik Satie. Its been done before yes, but check this one out please – its different.

Mitsubishi 4B10 / 4B11 and 4B12 Drive by Wire Throttle Body Upgrade
To suit following vehicle applications
- Mitsubishi and Proton Vehicles.
- The Mitsubishi 4B10/11/12 model engines run a factory 57mm drive by wire throttle body
- This unit is a Direct Fit Brand New 60mm DBW Throttle Body
- Note – these units are on an EXCHANGE Basis as the electronic Internals are modified with the transfer of OEM 4B11 units to enable plug and play set-up.
- Price includes $150.00 Core Charge – refundable upon the return of your original unit back to RPW
The 60mm upgrade is our recommended option for those wanting a direct bolt on without requiring any form of modification.
In all cases, installation will either require bypassing of coolant lines (Recommended option) or re-routing the coolant lines.
The benefits of upgrading the throttle body are numerous, but can be summarised as
- Increased air flow into the engine at high rpm’s improving power and torque.
- Improved throttle response, especially off idle
- Improved acceleration from cruising position to medium / high throttle loads
- Smoother progressive throttle control especially at light throttle loads
The 4B12 engines respond especially well to either throttle body due to its larger capacity. Remapping of the factory ECU will net much larger gains.
(A) Option 1 –
Run the vehicle until its up to full operating temperature.
Fit throttle body to vehicle, let the vehicle idle for approx 15 minute for the factory ECU to recalibrate itself and then go for a gentle drive.
We recommend removing battery clamp prior to installation to clear all long term memory within the ECU to enable the ECU to learn faster.
(B) Option 2 – (Recommended option)
The upgrading of this throttle body can sometimes have issues with high idle speeds.
Run the vehicle up to normal operating temperature.
Proceed to fit up your new throttle body.
Remove the negative battery terminal.
Turn on the headlights (they will not light). If you hear a tiny click somewhere then that means that all of the capacitance has been drained. If you do not hear a click somewhere it just means that there was not enough residual capacitance to discharge in that manner.
Let the car sit like this for about 5 – 10 minutes to completely drain the electricity.
Plug your battery back in.
Start the engine. Make sure you do not have your foot on the gas or the brake.
Run the engine at idle until it reaches normal operating temperature.
Stop the engine and repeat steps 3-8.
Now let the engine idle for about 5 minutes. Remember not to touch the gas or brake pedals. When you come back to the car you will notice that it is idling at 750 RPM. If the engine is not idling somewhere around here let it idle longer.
Stop the engine and then start it again. This time it should immediately idle like normal.
Press the accelerator a little bit. If it revs and then returns to normal, then congrats your throttle body is ready to use.
If the vehicle is still idling high you may want to try this how to all over again, increasing the wait times by 5 more minutes.

Big News from City Hall
Police Chief Charles McClelland announces departure after 39 years on the force
Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland surprised much of the city Tuesday afternoon when at a special news conference, Mayor Sylvester Turner announced that the 39-year police veteran would hang up his blues on February 26.
"I have given all I can emotionally, physically, pschologically, mentally," McClelland told the small gathering at City Hall. "It's time for someone else to pick up the mantle and go forward. I think I deserve a little bit of a break." The police chief turned 61 on Monday.
The mayor had no immediate announcement on an interim police chief.
McClelland began his career with HPD in 1977 and was sworn in as chief, under Mayor Annise Parker, in 2010.
When asked why he was retiring at this time, McClelland recalled his answer when asked years earlier about retirement. "I said I would wake up one morning and while tying my shoes, I would know it was time. And that's pretty much how it happened."
And, no, he has no plans for political office. "I'm not running from anything. And I'm not running for anything," he said, adding that consulting on law enforcement issues was a likely path.

Scheid District 7 Chardonnay comes from a vineyard at Greenfeld where the morning fog lingers to protect the vines from the heat of the sun. Oak aged to impart texture, vanilla oak and butterscotch to supplement the citrus and pear fruit.
California is divided into 17 grape crush districts, encompassing a wide range of climate, terrain and soil types. District 7 is situated in Monterey County that hugs the coast of California with a wide range of climate, terrain and soil types. It also has the longest growing season in California, a result of the chilled marine air from the Monterey Bay that rushes down the Salinas Valley each day. This longer ‘hang time’ gives the wine freshness, elegance and balance.
Sauvignon Blanc is ultra-sensitive to climate and grapes from vineyards that are just a few miles apart can impart very different taste characteristics. The brisk and windy conditions in the northern estate vineyard bring out the grassy and herbal traits of this varietal, while the estate vineyard located about 20 miles south, which has a little more sunshine and warmth, brings out the fruity melon flavours.

text: On August 15th, 1969, four hundred thousand Americans gathered around Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in White Lake, New York. Fashioned to familiarize the concepts of free love, radical hippie movements, and drug culture, America presented one of the most inspiring and liberating music festivals of its time, Woodstock. The festival brought a great deal of noted musical artists to take part in the counterculture’s strategy in putting an end to the Vietnam War. The festival was able to flock together the American youths who had opposed views towards war. Woodstock furnished an alternative community for those who promoted peace and free-love known as the “hippie” community. With the Vietnam War happening half the world away, people’s stress towards the loss of great numbers of soldiers in the war grew and found no reason in their country’s inclusion in the mishap, especially the youths of the era due to their rebellious ideologies. This investigation will answer the question “How and to what extent did Woodstock influence the anti-war movement in the United States particularly during the Vietnam War between 1969 and 1975?” Society was slowly becoming segregated between people who supported it and those who opposed it. This gave Americans an initiative to bring the anti-war movement to light by taking control over mass media and altering people’s views regarding the Vietnam War. Throughout its development, Woodstock was argued to be just a group of people listening to music and did not create any effect in aiding the countercultural anti-war movement. Tom Wells states that the countercultural movement would have been more efficient and succeeded in ways more than one if it hadn’t focused so much on developing an attractive media-driven coating to attract youth.

The anti-government movement is starting to look desperate
By The Economist | BANGKOK
AS THE new week began, the thuggish rump of Thailand’s would-be revolution was still in the streets surrounding Government House, still dressed for battle in their signature black and yellow. They were readying themselves for another day of combat with the police who have been guarding the offices of the embattled prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra.
The anti-government movement has taken on a slightly desperate air in recent days. Its numbers have dwindled as the outbreak of violence, in what was billed as a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience, has undermined its legitimacy. By the end of December 2nd an arrest warrant had been issued for its leader on grounds of insurrection—a charge punishable by life imprisonment or death. Four other leaders at the heart of the protest are also facing criminal charges.
In front of an outer concrete wall, which was separated from a second by a sea of barbed wire, the protesters wheeled into place a pair of police vans, which they had managed to capture the day before. Bracing themselves for tear gas, they filled buckets with water and handed out saline solution. A monk among them used a stepladder to scale the first wall, to take a peek at the hundreds of police who were hunkered in the garden of Government House, waiting for their confrontation with the protesters. At around 9.30am, the police began firing off tear gas, as if to remind the demonstrators that today, as yesterday, it would be futile for them to try getting any closer to the seat of power.
The stalemate stood. By lunchtime, Ms Yingluck had made a televised speech in which she offered to negotiate with the protesters, within the framework of the constitution. But she betrayed no hint of backing down. For the battle for “Bangkok’s Berlin Wall”, as the concrete-and-barbed-wire monstrosity has come to be called, was in full swing. And her side looked to be winning.
The “people’s coup”, declared by Suthep Thaugsuban, a former deputy prime minister from the opposition Democrat party, had turned violent over the weekend. Mayhem in Bangkok left at least three people dead and dozens injured. Those who died were killed in the east of the city, at Ramkhamhaeng University. Among them were red-shirted supporters of Ms Yingluck. Other “red shirts” called off a rally they had planned at the nearby Rajamangala Sports Stadium, to let the police concentrate on doing their job elsewhere, one of their leaders said.
At the other end of the city, Mr Suthep’s anti-government protesters entered ten of the 13 locations they had marked for occupation. The three that held out were Government House, the headquarters of the Royal Thai Police and the Metropolitan Police Bureau.
The black-shirted protesters also seized six television stations. In the evening they forced them to broadcast a speech, by then greatly anticipated, by Mr Suthep. When he finally took to the air he repeated a week-old message: Thailand ruled by the Shinawatras is intolerable, and therefore the clan, including Miss Yingluck, Mr Thaksin and the rest, must be removed from power and replaced by a “perfectly democratic People’s Council”. For good measure, Mr Suthep reminded the media that from now on they must report only his side of the story.
A nuance that did not go unnoticed was Mr Suthep’s choice of shirt. He wore white instead of the black he had worn previously (to express mourning for the supreme patriarch of Thai Buddhism, who died recently). Perhaps it was a concession to viewers around the world; to some observers, black-shirted demagogues commanding roving squads of black shirts in the streets carries a nasty whiff of Europe from the 1930s.
Mr Suthep had designated December 1st as “V day”, for the victory he had planned. His former colleagues from the Democrat Party say that he sold his private land in order to finance the campaign. On V day itself the army chief, General Prayuth Chan-ocha, offered to mediate between Ms Yingluck and Mr Suthep. When the trio met the same night Mr Suthep issued an ultimatum to the prime minister: that she return “power to the people” within two days, or else. Ms Yingluck is reported not to have responded and General Prayuth to have said that the army will “stand by Thailand”. As night fell, the government was asking people to stay home between the hours of 10pm and 5am—this was offered as advice, not a curfew—while trying to assure everyone that its affairs were under control.
So Thailand’s would-be-revolution, paid for by a few but brought to the streets by tens of thousands, has got stuck. For as long as Thais can recall, their governments have built up their majorities in the provinces. The same governments have been unmade rather handily in the capital, to the perennial relief of the Bangkok elite who enjoy ties with the royal palace. The notion that power has shifted permanently from the centre to the provinces—where the Shinawatras have their base—seems to be unacceptable to many of the old guard. The elite are used to thinking that power can always be clawed back in Bangkok.
At this point, there is no indication that the army will side with this lacklustre attempt at a coup. On November 29th, when the protesters took over the compound around army headquarters, they sought to attract the generals’ support in their battle with the government. By Sunday that effort had clearly failed; the police lines were strengthened by troops. On Monday, Ms Yingluck put foreign minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul—a cousin and close ally of Mr Thaksin—in charge of the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO, unfortunately), the panel in charge of security.
Even before the weekend’s troubles had begun the crown prince made his concerns known, through a statement from Bangkok’s police chief, himself a staunch ally of Mr Thaksin. The prince’s frail father, the king Bhumibol Adulyadej, is to celebrate his 86th birthday on December 5th, and this year he will do so in Hua Hin, about 200km (125 miles) south of Bangkok. This marks the first time the king has not planned to celebrate in the capital.
At the start of this year Jay Ulfelder, a social scientist who produces an annual league table of countries at risk of a coup, ranked Thailand the 57th-most likely to have one. Were it not for its history of coups, and the protracted conflict in its south, Mr Ulfelder notes, the kingdom would place even further down in the long tail, among the low-risk democracies. With just 28 days to go before the end of 2013, Mr Ulfelder’s forecast is looking just about right.

Leicester – Fulham Betting Tips for today, November 30, 2020
Match Preview and Predictions
- Leicester City came from behind on three occasions in Thursday’s UEFA Europa League tie with Braga to claim a last-gasp 3-3 draw, in what was their first stalemate since July, 2020 – a run of 18 games (W10, D1, L7) that only saw both sides score in 33.33% of the games.
- The ‘Foxes’ have won their last three at home in all competitions without conceding, after going the three prior at the King Power Stadium without netting themselves (L3). Seemingly vulnerable early or late on, Leicester have conceded 66.67% of their Premier League (PL) home goals against either in the first 15 minutes (two) or from the 76th minute (two) onwards.
- Struggling Fulham have won only one PL fixture since winning promotion back to the top flight (D1, L7), and having the joint-worst defensive record after nine games hasn’t helped their cause (2.00 average conceded per game). The fact that they’ve lost all seven after conceding first highlights the need for better starts.
- Scott Parker’s side also are winless in five away clashes in all competitions, failing to score in three (D1, L4), although they held their opponents goalless at HT in each of the last three. Conceding in the last two road trips in the 85th minute or beyond will be of concern, especially when considering each of the last three H2Hs at Leicester also saw the same scenario.
- Players to watch: Following his own goal against Liverpool, Leicester defender Jonny Evans is ranked fourth in PL history for own goals scored (six).
- Fulham forward Bobby De Cordova-Reid has netted each of his last three PL goals in the first half, but has scored in only one away game during 2020.
- Hot stat: Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has won all seven of his managerial H2H encounters versus Fulham with three different clubs; six of those triumphs saw his team net 3+ goals.

Polls Show McCain Is Surging in S. Carolina
Bush Tries to Calm Fears Among Backers
By Terry M. Neal and Thomas B. Edsall
The polls, following McCain's 19-point drubbing of the Texas governor in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, have left the Bush camp scrambling to reassure nervous party officials and supporters around the country about the viability of their candidate.
The campaign challenged McCain's credentials on veterans issues and tried to portray the senator as too liberal for South Carolina's primary voters. And this weekend, Bush campaign officials plan to return to Austin to regroup and retool strategy.
A Zogby International poll taken one day after the New Hampshire primary shows the Arizona senator leading Bush, 44 percent to 39 percent in South Carolina, whose primary is Feb. 19. Another poll, by Rasmussen Research, had Bush leading 41 percent to 40 percent, a statistical dead heat.
The poll numbers represent an astonishing turnaround from last month, when Bush had a 20-point lead over McCain in South Carolina, and from December, when he had a 45-point lead. The net effect has been to erode the aura of invincibility Bush once carried. The campaign has responded by stepping up attacks on McCain--a strategy many supporters have urged.
Bush told a crowd of about 350 people at a courthouse here that he is the best candidate to be commander-in-chief, while surrogates launched a more frontal attack on McCain's record. "We must have a commander-in-chief who understands the role of the military," he said.
McCain reacted with gusto to those attacks on his record on defense and veterans issues: "Well, why don't we have a real good debate on veterans affairs, defense and foreign policy? Any time, anywhere. We'll pay for the TV time."
Asked if this was a sign of desperation by the Bush campaign, McCain said, "I don't know if it's desperate, but it is bizarre to somehow allege that John McCain has not been a defender of veterans and the military."
As the candidates did battle in South Carolina, a number of Bush supporters around the country began turning up the public relations war, cold-calling supporters to urge calm and playing down the New Hampshire loss and South Carolina poll numbers with reporters. This week, members of the Republican Governors Association, which has endorsed Bush, vowed to ramp up their political machines in support of Bush.
"I think a number of people were startled, stunned and surprised [by the new polls], but not me," said Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating (R). "A loss muscles up a team. And we're back in the weight run. The defeat in New Hampshire was stunning, but the national campaign is just beginning."
Many other GOP officials who back Bush were reluctant to speak publicly but acknowledged privately that they are worried and frustrated by the way Bush is running his campaign. A number of GOP officials on Capitol Hill and around the states said today Bush has run a lackluster campaign.
National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Thomas M. Davis III (Va.) said most lawmakers were waiting to see how McCain fared in South Carolina before drawing any conclusions about Bush's performance, but the New Hampshire primary had gotten their attention. "There's a great feeling of uncertainty about the presidential race with McCain," Davis said.
Marc Rotterman, a political strategist who raised $500,000 for Bush last year, said there was a sense of inevitability about Bush's candidacy just a few weeks ago that is starting to evaporate. "I've talked to a lot of people who are Bush supporters, and I would say they are concerned," said Rotterman.
Bill Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard, said he has been receiving phone calls all day from worried Bush supporters. He said many complained that Bush seemed not to get the message from New Hampshire.
"Tuesday night was bad, but Wednesday was terrible," said Kristol, who is neutral in the race. "He goes to a staged event at Bob Jones University--a place that bans interracial dating--reads an uninteresting speech and gets Dan Quayle to endorse him."
When reached at his office today, another Republican strategist in Washington joked: "If you look back to your east, you'll see smoke coming out of the windows of the Capitol and people jumping out."
Not everyone was alarmed, and several Bush supporters noted that New Hampshire voters are hardly representative of the rest of the country. One California Republican who asked not to be identified said most lawmakers viewed that primary as an anomaly. "I don't see anyone wringing their hands about it," he said of the Bush camp. "If McCain beats him in South Carolina, then you'll start seeing some sweaty brows."
Throughout the day, Bush sought to minimize any suggestion that he and his campaign aides have been thrown off their game by the results in New Hampshire and by McCain's apparent South Carolina surge.
"You know what I say, tell them to hold their breath," Bush said as he campaigned in South Carolina. "They've got someone on the way to the Republican nomination who is going to lead us to victory."
Despite his public displays of optimism, Bush repeatedly signaled irritation at the McCain campaign and the success of its tactics. "All of a sudden in the course of the debate, I'm tagged as the guy who is kind of the Washington guy. I'm not going to let that happen to me in South Carolina," Bush told reporters. "His [McCain's] claim that he is the outsider is a claim I'm not going to let him get away with."
The Bush campaign has been banking on South Carolina to serve as a firewall to reaffirm the Texan's front-runner status. The state backed his father in 1988 and Robert J. Dole in 1996. And in Bush's concession speech in New Hampshire Tuesday night, he referred optimistically to the state as "Bush country."
Asked about the Zogby poll findings today, Bush--who had just learned of the results as he walked into the news conference--at first appeared taken aback, producing incomplete sentences. Then he said, "If it is, it is. I'm going to win this state."
McCain has targeted South Carolina as key to his strategy. And crucial to either candidate's support will be the vote of veterans and military families, who make up a greater percentage of the population than any other state in the country.
At the rally here, Bush supporter J. Thomas Burch Jr., chairman of the National Vietnam and Gulf War Veterans Coalition, told the crowd that McCain as a senator had frequently opposed legislation of interest to veterans, including health care for Gulf War veterans and locating those missing in action from Vietnam. "He had the power to help the veterans," Burch said. "He came home [from Vietnam] and forgot us."
Bush declined to either endorse or reject Burch's characterization of McCain's record in the House and Senate. "You need to ask them [leaders of veterans groups]. What I stand by is that they have looked at both of us and they have chosen me to be the nominee. I'm proud of that." Bush did say that he thinks "John McCain served our country well, he was a warrior on behalf of America."
At the four South Carolina rallies he held today, McCain pledged to improve veterans' benefits and jabbed at Bush's lack of experience in defense and foreign policy. "I am fully qualified to be commander-in-chief," he said. "I don't need any on-the-job training."
McCain operatives said they are bracing for a strong Bush counterattack, and aboard his bus, McCain reiterated his pledge not to engage in negative campaigning but said that he would "respond" quickly to any Bush attacks.
At a news conference in Beaufort, S.C., this morning, McCain said that in little more than 24 hours since his New Hampshire victory his campaign raised more than $600,000 on its Internet site and received offers of help from more than 4,000 new volunteers. Later today, McCain aides said the Internet fund-raising had reached $741,000 since the polls closed in New Hampshire Tuesday night.
Neal reported from Washington. Staff writer Edward Walsh with McCain contributed to this report.

Washington Heights Portfolio Sold for $165M
- May 09, 2016
New York— Eastern Consolidated has brokered the $165 million sale of a portfolio of nine mixed-use elevator buildings totaling 487,700 square feet in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood, the company announced on Thursday, the day after the deal closed.
The buildings are located on major corridors, primarily St. Nicholas Avenue, between West 164th and West 192nd Streets and consist of 413 apartments (about 70 percent with two or more bedrooms), 48 street-level retail stores, two professional offices and one rooftop antenna. Eight of the nine buildings reportedly are situated on prominent corners.
Eastern Consolidated Senior Director & Principal Marcia Rose Yawitz and Executive Managing Director & Principal Ron Solarz represented the seller, Intervest Development Corp., and also procured the buyer, a consortium of private investors doing business as WHP LLC. According to an Eastern Consolidated spokesperson, the purchasing entity is based outside of New York City.
The sellers simply felt it was time to sell the portfolio, Yawitz told Commercial Property Executive. “They’ve had the properties for between 20 and 30 years and wanted to take advantage of the currently strong market.”
“As values in West Harlem and Hamilton Heights have increased exponentially, active real estate investors are seeking properties with upside in Washington Heights,” Yawitz said in a prepared statement. “Renters priced out of other areas also are attracted to the area because of its abundance of large, prewar apartments like those in this portfolio.”
“The buyer saw a rare opportunity to acquire a prime, mixed-use Washington Heights portfolio that offers tremendous upside value on the residential and retail units, as the rents are far below market,” Solarz added. “All but one property in the package is a corner building with ground floor retail.”
The 1, A, C, and D subway lines run from Washington Heights to Midtown in less than 25 minutes. In addition, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey together with a private developer are completely renovating the George Washington Bridge Bus Station. This, according to Eastern Consolidated, is expected to enhance property values in the area, especially the retail.

Carrington, George Lunsford
24 Jan. 1893–25 Jan. 1972
George Lunsford Carrington, pioneer surgeon, was born in Durham County, the son of Ursula Elizabeth Lunsford and Sterling R. Carrington, a prominent businessman in Durham. Carrington received his bachelor's degree and a master's degree in chemistry and zoology from Trinity College, now Duke University. He then entered The University of North Carolina Medical School, where he received his Certificate in Medicine. Then followed more training at Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore, an internship there, and still further training at Yale Medical School and at New Haven, Conn., Hospital. Afterward he spent two years as chief resident surgeon at Bryn Mawr Hospital in Philadelphia.
After thirteen years of training, Carrington returned to Durham in 1924 to establish a private surgical practice and to spend one day weekly as a professor at The University of North Carolina Medical School. He was also involved in research projects at the university. He moved to Burlington in 1928 as a partner of Dr. Ralph E. Brooks at Rainey Hospital, which later became Alamance General Hospital and which was the forerunner of today's Memorial Hospital of Alamance. Numerous honors came to Carrington during his lengthy career. The one he held closest, as he often said, was his selection in 1955 to receive from The University of North Carolina one of the first Distinguished Service Awards for his career and his contribution to medicine, as judged by the university faculty.
Carrington donated the land in Durham County on which Carrington Junior High School now stands. He was also generous in his contributions through the years to educational, medical, and religious interests. He was known in his profession for a long list of published research papers. Talented in writing, he had been editor of The University of North Carolina Daily Tar Heel. His interest in education also dated from his school years; upon graduation, he served as a principal in the Durham school system for a year before entering medical training at the university. At the university, he played varsity basketball for three years and achieved high scholastic rating, earning membership in Phi Beta Kappa. He also won honors during his medical training and practice, becoming a fellow in the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Board of Surgery.
Carrington was married in 1921 to Maud Easter Black. His second wife was Elizabeth Scott whom he married in 1941.

My research explores the intricacies of conflict and collaboration in managing multiple-use landscapes. Collaboration is essential for effective, equitable, and flexible management, yet it can be challenging as people navigate layers of politics, history, uncertainty of ecological systems, and diverse ways of using, valuing, and thinking about landscapes. I investigate the complex roots of contention and the creative work of developing new connections across divides. In this work, I draw on ideas of integrated social-ecological systems, networks, and narratives.
My current work is based around the Nantahala-Pisgah National Forest in the southern Appalachians. The Nantahala-Pisgah is fragmented across eighteen counties in western North Carolina that are home to diverse communities, such as Cherokee, generational residents, and relative new comers seeking mountain views and recreation. The forest is valued as a biodiversity hotspot, a recreation mecca, a cultural touchstone, and a source of timber, game, and clean water. I am studying contention and collaboration among communities with different worldviews and values as they work through the forest plan revision and seek to influence the trajectory of the physical and social landscape. In this work, I am assisting multiple collaborative efforts, aiding in such activities as collaborative mapping and note-taking.

1. One of the most eminent of the followers of Herophilus (Galen, De Differ. Puls.
4.8, vol. viii. p. 736), whom Galen calls " no ordinary man " ( Comment. in Hippocr. " Epid. III."
2.4, vol. xvii. pt. i. p. 600), and who is said by Diogenes Laertius (7.1.35) to have been better able to think than to write.
He lived probably at the end of the third and beginning of the second centuries B. C., as he was a contemporary of Apollonius Empiricus [APOLLONIUS, p. 245], with whom he carried on a controversy respecting the meaning of certain marks (χαρακτῆρες
) that are found at the end of some of the chapters of the third book of the Epidemics
of Hippocrates. (Galen, ibid.
2.5. p. 618.)
He gave particular attention to materia medica (Cels. De Medic.
v. praef. p. 81.), and is perhaps the physician whose medical formulae are quoted by Galen (De Antid.
2.10, 11, vol. xiv. pp. 163, 171), in which case he must have been a native of Laodiceia.
He is mentioned in several other passages by Galen, and also by Erotianus (Gloss. Hippocr.
pp. 86, 216, ed. Franz.); perhaps also by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 22.44
), Caelius Aurelianus (De Morb. Chron.
4.7. p. 530), Alexander Aphrodisiensis (De Febr.
100.2. p. 82, ed. Ideler), and Rufus Ephesius (De Appell. Part. Corp. Hum.
1.36. p. 44.), but this is uncertain. (See Littré's Oeuvres d'Hippocr.
vol. i. p. 91, and Sprengel's Gesch. der Arzneikunde,
vol. i. ed. 1846.)

Only his superb strategy and the heroic devotion of his lieutenants - notably the converted Jew, Jan Samuel Chrzanowski, who held the Ottoman army at bay for eleven days behind the walls of Trembowla - enabled the king to remove "the pagan yoke from our shoulders"; and he returned to be crowned at Cracow on the 14th of February 1676.
This small instrument impressed me most because it made me think how weary the heroic navigator must have felt as he saw the sand dropping grain by grain while desperate men were plotting against his life.
The modern cheap and fertile press, with all its translations, has done little to bring us nearer to the heroic writers of antiquity.
"And, if your excellency will allow me to express my opinion," he continued, "we owe today's success chiefly to the action of that battery and the heroic endurance of Captain Tushin and his company," and without awaiting a reply, Prince Andrew rose and left the table.
He gave its Church a trained ministry, its homes an educated people who could give a reason for their faith, and the whole city an heroic soul which enabled the little town to stand forth as the citadel and city of refuge for the oppressed Protestants of Europe."
The heroic defence of Londonderry owed much to them, as they were a majority of the population, and some of their ministers rendered conspicuous service.

St Vincent scarcely left him, and has given the most extraordinary testimonies (as yet unpublished) of his heroic virtues.
The determining episode of his life followed soon after his return to Assisi; as he was riding he met a leper who begged an alms; Francis had always had a special horror of lepers, and turning his face he rode on; but immediately an heroic act of self-conquest was wrought in him; returning he alighted, gave the leper all the money he had about him, and kissed his hand.
After a heroic defence, conducted by Giuseppe Martinengo, Brescia was recaptured in April by the Austrians under Lieut.
With Finance taxation screwed up to breaking point on personal and real estate, on all forms of commercial and industrial activity, and on salt, flour and other necessaries of life; with a deficit of 8,500,000 for the current year, and the prospect of a further aggregate deficit of Li ~,ooo,ooo during the next quinquennium, Sellas heroic struggle against national bankruptcy was still far from a successful termination.
His disappearance snapped the chief link with the heroic period, and removed from the helm of state a ruler of large heart, great experience and civil courage, at a moment when elements of continuity were needed and vital problems of internal reorganization had still to be faced.
Of the town, laid out as a park, are the ruins of the old fortress, and a monument of Stephen Dob6, the heroic defender of the town against the assaults of the Turks in 1552.

The heroic figure who stands at the head is Saul (" asked "), and two accounts of his rise are recorded.
Although the rise of the Hebrew state, at an age when the great powers were quiescent and when such a people as the Philistines is known to have appeared upon the scene, is entirely intelligible, it is not improbable that legends of Saul and David, the heroic founders of the two kingdoms, have been put in a historical setting with the help of later historical tradition.
Among these were to be found the most sordid opportunism and the most heroic self-effacement, the crassest supernaturalism and - the loftiest conceptions of practical morality.
3 If one is apt to acquire too narrow a view of Jewish legalism, the whole experience of subsequent history, through the heroic age of the Maccabees and onwards, only proves that the minuteness of ritual procedure could not cramp the heart.
But passing from this region of pure mythology to the semi-mythic or heroic age, we find almost all the early legends and traditions of the island grouped around the name of Minos.

It was in vain that the heroic grand master, Henry of Plauen (1410-1413) sought to stem the tide of disaster; he was deposed by the chapter of the Order for his pains.
Whatever the cause, the complete restatement of economic theory, which some heroic persons demand, is clearly impossible, except on conditions not likely to be realized in the immediate future.
He was not cast in a heroic mould, and he had no desire to figure at the stake; like Cecil, and Elizabeth herself, he had a great respect for authority, and when his time came he could consistently impose authority on others.
It has the formal interest of being one of the earliest, certainly one of the most extensive versedocuments in Scots written in five-accent, or heroic, couplets.
Meanwhile Siena was vigorously besieged, and its inhabitants, sacrificing everything for their beloved city, maintained a most heroic defence.
One of the most heroic exploits in the annals of warfare is associated with the cathedral.
Le Couronnement Looys, already mentioned, Le Charroi de Nimes (12th century) in which Guillaume, who had been forgotten in the distribution of fiefs, enumerates his services to the terrified Louis, and Aliscans (r2th century), with the earlier Chanrun, are among the finest of the French epic poems. The figure of Vivien is among the most heroic elaborated by the trouveres, and the giant Rainouart has more than a touch of Rabelaisian humour.
The Morea was quickly overrun; in April 1826 Missolonghi fell, after a heroic defence; in June 1827 Athens was once more in the hands of the Turks.
Herzegovina, where Vukcic offered a desperate resistance, held out until 1483; but apart from the heroic defence of Jajce, the efforts of the Bosnians were feeble and inglorious, many of the Bogomils joining the enemy.
Such extension of his field would have been impossible had not Wesley been helped by a heroic band of preachers.

As reported yesterday, Rondo is sitting out practice but will play on Thursday according to Doc. Mark Murphy reports
The team gathered yesterday strictly to watch video, and will practice today prior to their flight to Chicago for tomorrow's Game 3 against the Bulls. And until then, Rondo, who aggravated the injury once again Monday during Game 2, is under orders to rest.
"It's better," coach Doc Rivers said yesterday of Rondo's battered ankle. "For the next 48 hours he's not going to do anything. We already knows he's not going to practice tomorrow. That's a fact. Obviously we're not going to put anything new in. But we will be able to walk over things. But it's better, the swelling has gone down."

After more than two decades of success in the international education industry and building countless strong partnerships, GEMCO Sydney organising GEMCO Sydney Thanksgiving and Outstanding Achiever/ Talent Awards 2019.
Since its inception in 1996, GEMCO Sydney has believed in the motto of “Dream Big, Achieve Big” and with such a big vision, GEMCO continues to make the dream of international education a reality for several students aspiring to study overseas.
It was 23rd Anniversary of GEMCO and as a thanksgiving to its clients and recognising the outstanding talents and achievements of Australian South Asian communities the award night was organised.
The event began with a personal message from the current Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison who had sent his best wishes to everyone gathered.
The Awards honoured those who have reached the highest echelons of society through the dint of their hard work, perseverance and talent. After a rigorous nomination and selection process, ten outstanding South Asians were awarded for their achievements and contributions to Australia in the presence of more than 600 multicultural guests. The awardees included Aadidev, Harkirat Singh Sandhar, Rashil, Mili Dakshin and Khushi Dakshin, Manvi Rastogi, King B Chouhan, Maryam Zahid, Sheikh Huque and Vinod Daniel.
The night was packed with several entertainment performances including on-stage fast-speed painting by Mili, Khushi, Manvi and Amanpreet; Bollywood dance performances by Vihang group, Jhoomer and a live fashion show.
Nitin Madan and Sakshi Kapoor acted as the Master of Ceremonies of the show. The event was also broadcasted live, to be enjoyed online by thousands of viewers all around the world.
GEMCO Sydney carries extensive industry experience and knowledge to guide international students in their academic pursuits in Australia. The approach to work in the ‘best interest’ of the students has always been the key to their long sustenance in the industry.
Awards night was sponsored by ECA, Vantage Luxe Homes, Artech Homes, Uneek Group, Harish Prasad & Associates, Wentworth Institute, AHSI, Ash Designs, Waratah Estate Agents, Infinity Finance Solutions and Easy Being Solar, Australia.


"General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region," the Pentagon stated, accusing the Quds Force of approving the attacks by Iranian-backed militias on the American embassy in Baghdad.
Reaction in Congress from Republican lawmakers was overwhelmingly supportive.
"General Soleimani is dead because he was an evil bastard who murdered Americans," said Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE). "The President made the brave and right call."
"Qassem Soleimani was a terrorist. He is no longer and he will never kill another American military member or citizen," said Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL).
"President Trump made a decisive decision to protect our nation, our allies, and the free world," said Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO).
"Soleimani was an evil terrorist who killed Americans," said Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT).
Most Democrats in Congress said little. Those who did issue statements raised questions about what the President's plans are for a possible more direct conflict with Iran.
"President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox," said former Vice President Joe Biden, a possible opponent for President Trump in November.
What was next in terms of an Iranian response was unclear.
"I hope that the White House has a plan in place and has prepared for potential responses from Iran," said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).

BENJIE Paras' lore left an indelible mark on the University of the Philippines' basketball program, being one of the main driving forces in the Fighting Maroons' last UAAP championship in 1986.
But despite the history that his father had in Diliman, Kobe Paras said that it was far from his mind when he made his commitment to the school.
"Not at all. I was so focused on the program and how I'm gonna help the program that I kind of forgot that my dad was part of UP. When I was signing, they were like because of my dad, but it's my own decision," he shared on Chooks-to-Go Live.
The younger Paras shared that when he returned to the country in 2018, he had no plans on committing to any school after bouncing from schools in the United States, from UCLA to Creighton to Cal State Northridge.
"I wasn't even supposed to go to any college when I went here. I was supposed to play sa Filoil lang and it gave me the opportunity to come back, see my family and friends, and play for the national team," said Paras, who was part of the Gilas cadets team in the 2018 Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup. "During that time, I really didn't know what I was going to do."
But a heartfelt talk with UP coach Bo Perasol opened those possibilities and the allure of taking the challenge of bringing back the glory to Diliman was just too tough for the 6-foot-6 high-flyer to pass up.
"I didn't talk to my mom and dad about this decision. I was just talking to coach Bo and I just felt at home with how coach Bo explained what the program was, how I was going to help the team and how the team was going to help me. I'm just happy na we came to a great understanding," he said.
"What attracted me was it was UP. Who wouldn't want to go to UP? It's a great school and the education is really top notch. People there really love the school. Sa games namin, you can see it and every game is a home game. There's not one game that there's no fans and they really love what UP stands for."
A season under his belt and Paras lived up to the expectations, earning his place in the Mythical Team after averaging 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.5 blocks.
Unfortunately, the Fighting Maroons bowed out in the stepladder semis, losing its twice-to-beat advantage as the two-seed to eventual runner-up University of Santo Tomas.
Bitter as that experience was for Paras, it only drives him to push harder as he hopes to win a championship for UP, just like his dad Benjie did.
"I'm really grateful na I represent the Maroons and I can't wait to do it again when the season starts," he said. (My dad had) a great history in UP, but it will be sweeter if I do that as well."

On a wild day for everyone around him, Tom Pernice Jr. kept it steady and simple Saturday for a one-under-par 69 in the AT&T; National at Bethesda, Md., that gave him a one-shot lead and a chance to win for the first time in seven years.
Pernice took the lead, but not control, with an approach that stopped just inside three feet at the 17th for only his second birdie on a steamy, still afternoon at Congressional Country Club. He was at 10-under 200 and was one shot ahead of Steve Stricker, who had a 66.
Stricker was among four players who had at least a share of the lead throughout the third round, but he hit a seven-iron over the 17th green and caught the lip with a 12-foot par putt from the fringe.
Jeff Overton, tied with Pernice to start the third round, was fortunate to still have a chance. His struggles began with a tee shot into the bunker on the par-three 10th hole to take bogey, then had consecutive double bogeys that left him four shots behind.
Overton rallied with birdies on his next two holes and salvaged a 71, leaving him at eight-under 202 with Tommy Armour III (66) and Nick O’Hern (67).
Angela Park’s final putt was as impressive as her round -- an uphill birdie attempt from about 25 feet that capped a 10-under 62.
Kristy McPherson wasn’t about to be outdone.
McPherson answered Park with a birdie of her own, a downhill putt from the fringe, about 20 feet from the hole. The playing partners were within a stroke of the lead in the second round of the NW Arkansas Championship at Rogers.
“Obviously, everything went right today,” said Park, who equaled the lowest round on the LPGA Tour this year.
Park and McPherson were at 11 under at Pinnacle Country Club. Meena Lee shot a 65 in the second round to finish the day at 12 under. She was tied for the lead with Eun-Hee Ji, who had two holes remaining in her second round.
About half the field was still on the course when play was suspended because of darkness. The tournament has been delayed twice by bad weather.
McPherson finished her first round at eight under, playing the final five holes Saturday morning. Friday’s start was pushed back about five hours because of rain, and bad weather halted play for over 90 minutes Saturday.
Eduardo Romero shot his second straight seven-under 65 to take a one-shot lead over Fulton Allem (65) and Joey Sindelar (65) heading into the final round of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open at Endicott, N.Y.
Romero, who began the day two shots behind first-round leader Joe Ozaki, had 16 birdies and one double bogey over the two rounds and was at 14-under 130. Ozaki (70) was alone in fourth at 11 under in the Champions Tour event.
