An unexpected mooning by prperoldWatch
©2010-2016 prperold
For me the offset moon balances the composition. I might be wrong
I think its not too easily noticeable had you not mentioned it but the tones on the stones are soo life-like! amazing
I feel like the moon flows with the shore line, its nice.
Wonderfully balanced. Lovely shot.
This is a really great pic. I like the atmosphere.
Wonderful colours and stunning light, the composition is excellent....however I'm not sold on the moon, maybe if it had been bigger, or on the other side of the image it may work a bit better for me...still a great picture though.
It does work but I think it needs to be bigger for more impact. Looks more like a dust spot here. Anyway excellent compo with those rocks working as a great lead in line and the exposure compliments them nicely.
this is such a crazygood shot!
you have such talent
you have such talent
Yes, the moon balances the composition well.
Rocks, soft water (nice timing), sunrise lights on the background... that's a very good job!
Rocks, soft water (nice timing), sunrise lights on the background... that's a very good job!
Nice mood, wonderful composition!
Wonderfully composed Philip!
Thank you Justeline! Means a lot coming from you. So do you think the out of place moon works?
Very impressive photo, well done!
The visible area of the moon is so small that it's almost noticeable which leads into the moon affecting the composition to a very tiny point.
love the title, great image!

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan (Aug. 11--The Afghan officer in charge of training Afghan National Army and Afghan Nation Police Humvee drivers came to see the Afghan National Army Humvee Refurbishment program, being conducted by the 401st Army Field Support Battalion-Kandahar.
Maj. Mohammad Zahir came to see the refurbishment operation being conducted by the 401st AFSBn and AC First as part of a program that will turnover refurbished Humvees to the Afghan National Army and Police.
"I learned a lot." said Zahir. "We are happy to come out and check out the Humvee."
The major was given a tour of the maintenance bays where the vehicles are rebuilt from the ground up. He was then taken on a road test of one in one the refurbished vehicles and saw how mechanics take the vehicles through different tests.
"I like making sure the vehicles are 100 percent." said Paul Ferguson, a Department of the Army Civilian from Anniston Army Depot in Alabama. Ferguson explained to Zahir how he road tests the Humvees by bringing them up to speed to test the transmission and taking them over steep inclines to test the suspension.
The Afghan Nation Army Refurbishment Program is a coalition program that will turn over thousands of Humvees to the Afghans and teach them how to use and maintain them. Coalition partners teach and mentor the Afghans as part of the program.
"It's very personality driven." said Australian Army Sgt. Andre Borg, mentor for the Afghan 205th Maintenance Corps. "If you don't mesh with them it's hard."
The program is part of the larger effort to help the Afghan people maintain their own security.
"I like this for our army." said Zahir. "This is stronger for IED."

Approaches to Teaching the Dramas of Euripides
- Editor: Robin Mitchell-Boyask
- Pages: xiii & 235 pp.
- Published: 2002
- ISBN: 9780873527699 (Cloth)
- ISBN: 9780873527705 (Paperback)
"I am very impressed with what Mitchell-Boyask has managed to put together in this volume. . . . I give it my wholehearted recommendation."
Known for their fully drawn characters, artistic complexity, and a multifaceted engagement with social issues, the plays of Euripides inspire divergent critical views. While some scholars find that the dramatist writes from a traditional Greek perspective, others see a radically innovative artist who criticizes Athenian politics, the treatment of women, and the Olympian gods. Readers will find both views in this collection of essays designed to help teachers present Euripides and his plays to today's students.

I can't seem to find ANY sample games -- especially those which use keyboard input -- with source files that end EXCLUSIVELY in MXML and AS.
In other words, I don't want to see .FLA files, since I can't do squat with them.
I have Flex 3.0 SDK installed, and I'm content to write programs in a nuts-and-bolts manner. I don't really want Adobe's fancy IDE, since I'm a programmer and used to writing programs with text.
But the free Flex compiler can't do anything with a .FLA file -- and I certainly can't look inside it to see what it's doing. So I can't learn much from Adobe's two examples (Maze and Amoebas).
I found one breakout clone, but it doesn't use keyboard input.
I agree that Flex has a very steep learning curve!

The newest update to this plugin is overwriting all my homepage queries and causing all posts to show up in all category-based widgets.
Argh! Please email me the info that is found at the bottom of the UCE settings page. Sorry you're having trouble.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for looking into this.
Here's the info from the settings page:
UCE version: 0.94
PHP version: 5.3.20
MySQL version: 5.1.61-log
WordPress version: 3.6
Current theme: SNO FLEX
Number of categories is: 10
I just did some more testing.
The plugin appears to work properly if at least one category is checked to be excluded from the Main Page. If there are no categories selected in that row, that's when the problem emerges.
Hi, Wow, that's an interesting case. Let me play with that.
A potential very easy workaround while I try to recreate this. Make a new category (called empty or xxxx or whatever.) Then exclude that category from the Main page. Try that for now, and let me know.
Hi Michael,
I was wrong about my earlier test -- it still wasn't working when a category is selected.
Hello Michael,
Had the same issue on my blog HunterMastery.com my blog has a feature article section which shows one post, then the normal wordpress list of latest posts. Lastly posts that are coming up on the sidebar.
I only use the plugin to hide blog posts from the main page and when I updated earlier today it was overriding everything and showing 10 posts for every time I used the queries. I reupload the old version I had that fixed it.
Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
Hi Richard, Could you email me the specs that are found at the bottom of the UCE settings page? If you're running an old version, you may need to temporarily activate 0.95 to get the specs to appear. I'm sorry you're having trouble. Mike
The most recent version of UCE (0.96 at this time) should fix the problem. Please let me know if it doesn't.
That fixed the problem -- thanks for the update.

Rebuilding Iraq:
Serious Challenges Impair Efforts to Restore Iraq's Oil Sector and Enact Hydrocarbon Legislation
GAO-07-1107T: Published: Jul 18, 2007. Publicly Released: Jul 18, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8979
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Rebuilding Iraq's oil sector is crucial to rebuilding Iraq's economy. For example, oil export revenues account for over half of Iraq's gross domestic product and over 90 percent of government revenues. This testimony addresses (1) the U.S. goals for Iraq's oil sector and progress in achieving these goals, (2) key challenges the U.S. government faces in helping Iraq restore its oil sector, and (3) efforts to enact and implement hydrocarbon legislation. This statement is based on our May 2007 report and updated data, where appropriate.
Despite 4 years of effort and $2.7 billion in U.S. reconstruction funds, Iraqi oil output has consistently fallen below U.S. program goals. In addition, the State Department's data on Iraq's oil production may be overstated since data from the U.S. Department of Energy show lower production levels--between 100,000 and 300,000 barrels less per day. Inadequate metering, re-injection, corruption, theft, and sabotage account for the discrepancy, which amounts to about $1.8 to $5.5 billion per year. Comprehensive metering of Iraq's oil production has been a long-standing problem and continuing need. Poor security, corruption, and funding constraints continue to impede reconstruction of Iraq's oil sector. The deteriorating security environment places workers and infrastructure at risk while protection efforts have been insufficient. Widespread corruption and smuggling reduce oil revenues. Moreover, Iraq's needs are significant and future funding for the oil sector is uncertain as nearly 80 percent of U.S. funds for the oil sector have been spent. Iraq's contribution has been minimal with the government spending less than 3 percent of the $3.5 billion it approved for oil reconstruction projects in 2006. Iraq has yet to enact and implement hydrocarbon legislation that defines the distribution of oil revenues and the rights of foreign investors. Until this legislation is enacted and implemented, it will be difficult for Iraq to attract the billions of dollars in foreign investment it needs to modernize the sector. As of July 13, 2007, Iraq's cabinet has approved only one of four separate but interrelated pieces of legislation--a framework that establishes the structure, management, and oversight. Another part is in draft and two others are not yet drafted. Poor security, corruption, and the lack of national unity will likely impede the implementation of this legislation.

DUI and DWI are crimes committed when a person operating a car, motorcycle, or other vehicle is under the influence of (1) alcohol, (2) illegal drugs, and/or (3) prescription medication. Laws vary from state to state as to the legal blood-alcohol level and the consequential punishment. In most instances, a first-time DUI/DWI offender will be charged with a misdemeanor (minor crime). If someone was injured in the accident, the charge may result in a felony (serious crime) offense. Punishments for DUI/DWI crimes can be severe (for example, losing your driving privileges); if you have been accused of a DUI or DWI offense, it's best to see an attorney who specializes in this field. An experienced DUI attorney can often get the charges dropped or reduced, or may be able to negotiate lesser penalties depending on your circumstances and your criminal history.

A man charged with blackmailing former Wanganui mayor Michael
Laws has been sentenced to six months' home detention.
Paul William Evans, a 61-year-old beneficiary from Wanganui,
wrote a letter demanding Mr Laws ". . . get out of public
life . . . before decent people deal to you" while Mr Laws
was running for mayor again last year.
He admitted the charge and appeared for sentencing today in
the Whanganui District Court.
Defence lawyer Stephen Ross said the letter was written in
frustration after Mr Laws' partner at the time, Katrina
Severinson, called for Evans to be banned from her father's
Her father had invited Evans over to watch rugby. Evans had a
previous conviction for speaking threateningly to Ms
Severinson, and was ordered not to harass her directly or
Evans posted the letter but later regretted it, and tried
unsuccessfully to retrieve the letter from the postman, and
Mr Laws received it on September 6 last year.
"The content of the letter was threatening and threatened to
expose Mr Laws in terms of his personal life," said Judge
David Cameron.
"It contained a threat to expose these matters by way of
national newspapers and television channels. He also
indicated he would attend public meetings to expose Mr Laws.
"It directed Mr Laws to withdraw from his mayoral campaign or
these threats would be put into action."
Evans was arrested three days after Mr Laws - a current
Wanganui District Council and Whanganui District Health Board
member - received the letter. While being questioned by
police Evans handed over a second letter he had written to Mr
Laws but had not posted, which contained similar material.
"The crown do not rely on that letter save to the extent that
it shows an ongoing animosity," said Judge Cameron.
Evans has previous convictions ranging from 1981 to 2012
which Judge Cameron called "disturbing".
They included using offensive language, speaking
threateningly, and offensive use of a telephone. He had also
been imprisoned for violence and dishonesty charges, and had
previous drink driving convictions.
"It's everybody's democratic right to stand for public
office," said Judge Cameron.
"This letter was calculated to prevent just that."
He sentence Evans to six months' home detention with a 12
month post detention order of non-association with Mr Laws
and Ms Severinson.

MIAMI (AP) - Authorities in Miami and Miami Beach say five people were shot in two separate cases.
Officials said three family members were hospitalized after being shot inside a Miami Beach home early Easter Sunday in a possible case of domestic violence.
A Miami Beach officer said a wounded girl knocked on a neighbor's door and said her father just shot her and her mother.
Later Sunday, a 4-year-old boy and his 28-year-old aunt were shot by black-clad men at a house in Miami.
All of the victims are being treated at area hospitals.

Apple is hoping to avoid another Bendgate controversy by using a new aluminum shell for the iPhone 6s that's twice as strong as the iPhone 6 version. We got our first look at the super-strong iPhone 6s last week, when Lewis Hilsenteger got his hands on a leaked shell that indicates Apple will use series 7000 aluminum for the upcoming model.
Hilsenteger's latest video puts the new and improved iPhone 6s aluminum frame to the bend test. Only this time, instead of using his bare hands like he did with the original Bendgate video, Hilsenteger uses sophisticated equipment to give us extra insight into the new case's super strength.

I am married in Washington State (community prop state). We filed separate but married this year. I received a refund and my wife owes several thousand. If she doesn't pay the tax, can the IRS come after me?
Thanks a bunch.
Foreclosure Attorney
If you file Married Filing Separate, the IRS cannot come after you for your wife's tax debt. However, if you won any joint community property, a lien may be placed on that property and the IRS may come after that joint property.
I do not practice in a community property state, so there may be some nuances I am not aware of. Therefore, you should consult with a local attorney on this issue.
Business Attorney
I would say yes. All debts incurred during the course of the marriage are presumed to be community debts that were incurred for the benefit of the marital community. This certainly holds true for taxes on income earned during the course of your wife's job.
Tax Lawyer
If you had filed a joint tax return, you would be liable for all of the tax whether or not you live in a community property state because of the joint and severable liability nature of the joint tax return. However, since you filed as married filing separately, the rules are different. If your wife does not pay her share and because you live in a community property state, the presumption is that the tax liability is one of the marital community. The IRS would be able to levy on your wife's community property share of all community property. This would include not only assets such as real property and personal property, but also her community property share of your income, etc.
Beary Law Offices PLC is not acting as your attorney in providing this response.
Tax Lawyer
Because of community property laws, yes they can.

Eric Risberg, Associated Press
NEW YORK — Look around. Many of the gadgets you see drew inspiration from the original Mac computer.
Computers at the time typically required people to type in commands. Once the Mac came out 30 years ago Friday, people could instead navigate with a graphical user interface. Available options were organized into menus. People clicked icons to run programs and dragged and dropped files to move them.
The Mac introduced real-world metaphors such as using a trash can to delete files. It brought us fonts and other tools once limited to professional printers. Most importantly, it made computing and publishing easy enough for everyday people to learn and use.
Apple sparked a revolution in computing with the Mac. In turn, that sparked a revolution in publishing as people began creating fancy newsletters, brochures and other publications from their desktops.
These concepts are so fundamental today that it's hard to imagine a time when they existed only in research labs — primarily Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and his team got much of its inspiration from PARC, which they visited while designing the Mac.
The Mac has had "incredible influence on pretty much everybody's lives all over the world since computers are now so ubiquitous." says Brad Myers, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University's Human-Computer Interaction Institute. "Pretty much all consumer electronics are adopting all of the same kinds of interactions."
Apple didn't invent these tools, nor was the Mac the first to use them. Xerox Corp. sold its own mouse-based Star computer, and Apple's Lisa beat the Mac by months. It's impossible to say what would have happened if those machines hadn't flopped with consumers or whether others would have come along if the Mac hadn't.
But the Mac prevailed and thus influenced generations of gadgets that followed.
The Mac owes much of its success to the way Apple engineers adapted those pioneering concepts. For instance, Xerox Corp. used a three-button mouse in its Alto prototype computer. Apple settled on one, allowing people to keep their eyes on the screen without worrying about which button to press.
While Lisa had those improvements first, it cost about $10,000. The Mac was a "low" $2,495 when it came out on Jan. 24, 1984.
Apple insisted on uniformity, so copying and pasting text and deleting files would work the same way from one application to another. That reduced the time it would take to learn a new program.
And Apple put a premium on design. Early Macs showed a happy face when they started up. Icons and windows had rounded corners. Such details made computers appear friendlier and easier to use — at least subconsciously — to the user, Myers says.
One of the first applications enabled by the Mac's interface was desktop publishing.
Early computers generated text the way a typewriter would — character by character, one line at a time. Users had a limited number of characters, with no variation in appearance. The Mac was one of the first to approach displays like a TV: Text gets incorporated into a graphic that the computer projects on the screen pixel by pixel.
With those tools, would-be publishers could change fonts, adjust typeface sizes and add attributes such as italics. They could also mix images with text. The earliest Macs popularized "what you see is what you get," or WYSIWYG; formatting on the screen largely reflected how the page would look in print. Instead of going to a professional printer, anyone could simply design and print newsletters on a Mac.
Of course, the Mac's success was never guaranteed.
Initially, many people "thought it was a waste of time and a gimmick," says Dag Spicer, senior curator of the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley.

Drug Safety:
I describe the drug scene at Behrend to be okay, but there is some student who would use lots of reasons to use drugs. Some students would use drug at places such as private parties. The drug and alcohol can be visible mostly due to students behavior. The usage is unknown to me but I do know sometimes students will give in to peer pressure.
Overall Experience:
Penn State Erie - The Behrend College has been a great experience overall. There is so much to describe about the college. The course are very helpful. There are many classes to take for many students. The professors are very helpful. They have certain types of ways to help a student. For example, student can report to a tutor system to seek help. Tons of course are offered. For example, if student like more creative art classes, then there are more than 10 course available in that category. The class styles depend on things like teachers, subject, size, etc. The class sizes depend on what kind of class a student takes. For example, if students are in classes that mostly lecture type, there might be a class size of over 100 or so. The college is great. In my opinion, I wouldn't mind spending all my four years at Behrend.
Overall Experience:
In the Penn State campus, they have many events that describe student options for a career after they get there degree. For example, like most colleges, they have a career fair to teach most students about there job decisions. Another great prospect is that sometimes students can get connected to alumni through the college website for tips and advice and maybe some help.
Health & Safety:
The campus is a nice place to go and to explore. The security on campus is impressive. There is a Penn State police station. Emergencies are easily reachable. There are students out on the campus ground which makes a student feel much better.
Campus Housing:
Living in the dorms was a great experience but there are some comments. The basic resident halls of the campus are good, but not so spacious. There are some dorms that are better and more comfortable, but to get the more exclusive dorms, there are some requirements. For example, to get in other dorms may require additional funds or may have a "upper-classmen" only rule. The social atmosphere is pretty decent. Some halls have student hang-outs such as arcades. The cost of the dorms depend on what dorm students are in.
Greek Life:
The Greek life on campus is described okay in my opinion for many reasons. The Greek life on campus hold many events and activities that affects the campus in a very positive way.The fraternity and sorority students has no different views of other students. And there are no housing for any Greeks available.
On my campus, sports are a big part of the Behrend campus.Student involvement is good.In detail, student can do lots of activities to help of teams such as apply for a job that requires federal work study. the team performance is outstanding because the team plays very good in many of the sports and has made it to the top final teams. Fan support is described good because the events include family members and friends attending there. school spirit is average and reason is that the campus hold some event and activities that support each sports team but there are less rallies and celebrations for them. The athletic facilities is great because the players are trained to perform their very best.
Overall Experience:
Penn State Erie has all great college qualities. I describe myself as a student of technology and this campus has given me my first glimpse of the college life. For example, During the school year, I lived on campus to get to know more experiences in the student life. Another example is that I have joined multimedia clubs such as the video game club, engineering demonstrations, computer science seminars, etc. Also I have apply and worked at a job in the dining hall of the campus as a way to have some spare money to help with regular expenses. The college is unique because it fits the level of great education. In this campus, students have the opportunity to meet the professors/teachers to get to know them and also to request help when needed. I would do it all over again because it made me feel like my dream career was just one-step away from coming true. Overall it has been a wonderful school year and I look forward to another year.
Overall Experience:
The professors are wonderful. If you ever have any questions or concerns, they are really good at helping you out.
Overall Experience:
Job prospects are great. There is a career fair on campus twice a year every year to those who are interested in going.
Health & Safety:
I have never questioned my health or safety on campus. We have a Health and Wellness center along with a police station on campus.
Campus Housing:
Freshman Year, I stayed in Perry Hall. I loved my neighbors and my roommate. The room included a mini fridge and a microwave. The bathroom and hallways were cleaned daily, the only thing you had to worry about was cleaning your own room.
Greek Life:
Greek life is present on campus, but it is not overwhelming. You see some of the activities they do around campus, but most of the time, the non-Greeks just rely on the greeks for a good party.
There are many options to get involved. One of the biggest clubs is LEB, the Lion Entertainment Board. They plan many activities for those who don't really enjoy sports.
Overall Experience:
Overall, my experience at Penn State Erie is great! I love my classes, my campus and the new friends I have made. I feel very fortunate that I was accepted. What has made my experience unique, is that I am a cheerleader for the basketball team there! I love that my coach keeps an eye on our grades and gives a talk to let us know when we need to reevaluate our life decisions.
Health & Safety:
I have walked around alone at night feeling very safe.
Campus Housing:
Not bad at all, just average dorm life. Could be a lot worse, but at the same time could be a lot better.
Greek Life:
Greek life isn't too big at our school, most people are indifferent toward sororities and frats
When the school was first built they didn't realize the growth that it would have over the years. The school needs to keep up to speed with the demand. They are making a lot of renovations now that will happen in the near future, but definitely need to put a lot more time and money into the athletic facilities.
Overall Experience:
Great professors, environment and learning atmosphere. Penn State Erie is an up and coming school and is one of the best kept secrets in PA!
It's mostly white and if they're not white, they're probably an international from China. As far as acceptance goes, it's not like everybody is racist and hateful, but it would be better if you were white and not a difference race/LGBT.
Overall Experience:
Overall, I would say the education is okay as for learning. Penn State has one of the most valued degrees in the US, so whatever education you get, is worth it for the job. However, the engineering and physics at Behrend are taught with a flipped classroom method which is honestly, harder than traditional. The flipped classroom method is only at Behrend, not any other campus. If I wasn't proficient in physics, I would go elsewhere. But, the other classes are like other universities. Some teachers are okay, fantastic, and terrible. If you use rate my professor, you will be much more satisfied. As social life, since it's cold and there aren't too many places to go to unless you have a car, it's prevalent on campus and off campus (by nearby apartments). If the people weren't generally nice, this review would get a "3/5" rating instead. As far as work goes, it's really easy to get a job. The food is okay. It's not as bad as everyone complains about. Its either hit or miss. They make the same food every 2 or 4 weeks (For example, if it's brussel sprouts monday 7/11, it's brussel sprouts monday 7/25). As far as academics, there's a fair number of above average intelligent people and below, but mostly average. Say maybe, 25 above / 60 average /15 below percent as an example of what I'm trying to say. Overall, it's a good campus if you're doing 2+2. Some people love it and want 4 years, but I personally love it for 2 and want to transfer after.
Overall Experience:
Penn State has one of the best degrees in the US and has a huge alumni.
Health & Safety:
From my understanding, it is fairly safe on campus. I don't get emails or texts about sexual assault, etc. I haven't heard of any stories where something bad happened to someone.
Campus Housing:
Housing at Behrend is mostly good. The normal residence hall dorms are exactly like every other public college/university dorms. From my understanding there is always a "party" hall every year. Honors dorms are better; they have their own bathroom and computer lab with a printer. The rooms look bigger, but they probably have more space due to the door being on the side and not the middle. I don't know much about the apartments but they have a kitchen and living room. Senat is the best residence hall because of location, also has own bathroom. I know honors dorms have air conditioning and freshman residence halls don't. I don't know about apartments and Senat.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, most students seem to be very happy at Behrend. In fact, a lot of students who plan on transferring to University Park end up changing their minds and staying at Behrend. Students tend to think of Behrend as a great place or a comfortable setting. Students who are not happy at here blame it on the small size and lack of proximity to more fun things to do. Some Behrend students say it begins to feel like being in high school again after four years, but a lot of that depends on who you hang out with.
Behrend is definitely a small school, so anyone looking for a huge school should look elsewhere, but anyone interested in a moderately sized school with an extremely friendly student body and devoted and kind professors will be right at home here. Students who enjoy the idea of forming close bonds with professors, doing undergraduate research, and being able to visit professors whenever they need to will love the academic side of Behrend. People who want to get involved in campus activities also will love Behrend. Finally, anyone can feel comfortable at Behrend and find his or her niche. Behrend students are extremely accepting of anyone, and it is very easy to make friends in and out of class.

Clementine Oil
According to Verzera et al. (2009), clementine was first discovered as an accidental hybrid in a mandarin plantation, where the trees were grown from seed in the vicinity of Oran, Algeria. It is known botanically as Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan. [syn. C. reticulata Blanco (clementine cultivar)]. Because of the high quality of clementines, they have become very popular in Italy in Calabria and Sicily, where the main cultivars are 'Commune,' 'Monreal,' 'Oroval' and 'Nules.'
Five fresh clementines that were purchased from a local market in Spain were peeled, taking care not to injure the fruit segments. The peels were carefully sectioned and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen, after which the solids were powdered using a blender. Extraction of this powder was performed immediately using methylene chloride (100 g powder and 5 x 100 mL solvent). After removing any traces of water with anhydrous Na2SO4, the extracts were combined and concentrated to 100 mL using a rotary film evaporator. The volatile fraction was then isolated using high-vacuum distillation. The volatile fraction was subjected to analysis by Buettner et al. (2003) using GC/MS.

AHAs also help stimulate collagen production and unclog pores for an even fresher, younger look. So the next time you see an apple or an orange, feel free to say thank you.

- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dill

- 1 slice red onion (optional)
- In a food processor, add cream cheese, lemon juice, dill and capers. Combine for a few minutes (not to much as cream cheese will be to watery).
- Toast chosen bread.
- Once the bread has been toasted spread cream cheese mix thickly onto both pieces of bread.
- Top with the smoked salmon and red onions.
Most Helpful
Very nice! Rather than use a processor I just chopped the capers and mixed with a fork.
This is a great sandwich. I use a lot of smoked salmon, especially for entertaining, and this will be added to my collection. It is important that the capers are very well rinsed and drained. Have also used this, and similar, on black bread. Thanks for submitting.
Yum! Easy, yummy and quick lunch. I kept to the recipe even used the optional red onions. It's important to really drain the capers to avoid excess moisture because the cream cheese mix could get watery. However slightly water it still tasted so good that I had to make another sandwich. Thank you Aus/NZ chefs

Shafak says that she did not set out to deal with big macro-political questions in The Bastard of Istanbul. Instead, her aim was quite the opposite - to "probe the simple and basic ingredients in the everyday life of Armenian and Turkish women" to find their commonalities.
"I am a novelist. When I write, I don't calculate the consequences of what I'm writing. I just surround myself with the story."
That maybe so, but The Bastard of Istanbul unleashed quite a backlash in her native Turkey, achieving the dubious honor of becoming the first fictional work to be tried under Article 301 of the Turkish penal code which prohibits "public denigration of Turkishness". Other fictional books, such as Orhan Pamuk's Snow have been threatened with Article 301* but Shafak's was the first to go to trial. If ...
Elif Shafak was born in Strasbourg, France in 1971. Her mother was a diplomat and single-mother whose first appointment was in Spain, where Shafak spent her teenage years. At the time, the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) was staging attacks on Turkish citizens, particularly diplomats, across Europe; so while she was growing up "Armenian" meant only one thing to Shafak - a terrorist who wanted to kill her mother.
Faced with hatred she says she hated back. It took her years to ask the simple question: Why did the Armenians hate us?
"My ignorance was not unusual. For me in those days, and for most Turkish citizens even today, my country's history began in 1923, with the founding of the modern Turkish state. The roots of the Armenians' rage -- in the massacres, ...

It is, Sir, as I have said, a small College. Yet there are those who love it!
Daniel Webster (1782 - 1852)
Contributed by: Fouad34
Mr. Webster's reply to the invitation of his friends, who had been refused the use of Faneuil Hall by the Mayor and Aldermen of Boston. I shall defer my visit to Faneuil Hall, the cradle of American liberty, until its doors shall fly open on golden hinges to lovers of Union as well as lovers of liberty.

If war should sweep our commerce from the seas, another generation will restore it. If war exhausts our treasury, future industry will replenish it. If war desiccate and lay waste our fields, under new cultivation they will grow green again and ripen to future harvest. If the walls of yonder Capitol should fall and its decorations be covered by the dust of battle, all these can be rebuilt. But who shall reconstruct the fabric of a demolished government; who shall dwell in the well-proportioned columns of constitutional liberty; who shall frame together the skillful architecture which unites sovereignty with state's rights, individual security with prosperity?
Washington is in the clear upper sky.

"BLOODY"! My "Bloody" Valentine!
Bloody! Yes! Stupid typo on my part. Sorry about that, Line Out Fan. I corrected it.
why is this the first i've heard of these "tree kangaroos" you speak of? jesus, it's like a motherfucking teddy bear.
Better than a teddy bear, Brandon. They have mile-long tails, too, with rings, that hang down below them from their branch. The zoo had some, but they died; they're still major players in the conservation of them. Oh, they have pouches, too!
If all you know about marsupials is boxing kangaroos, you're missing 99.99% of the story. Check out the sugargliders and bilbies. Male marsupials have forked penises, you know -- to fit the female's dual vaginas. Mmm!
Baby Sugar Glider!
I wuvs tree kangaroos.
that is frustratingly cute
That one is cute, but last weeks baby rhino is cuter.
don't kid yourselves. under that adorable fluffy fur lies a heart of true unholy evil. this thing devours souls and thrives on the flesh of those drawn into its' vortex of malice and cuddliness. stare not into the maddening abyss that is tree kangaroo.
It's all cute, until it comes bull rushing you with it's sharp pointing fangs and 8 inch claws of death!
uhm ... yeah right

Hi Woothemes,
I recently had this problem with PayPal Sandbox, which Mike Jolly fixed via this thread:
My issue now is my Simple Product - "Virtual" and "Downloadable" are now going to on-hold instead of complete when a customer pays and have received payment!
I am trying to sell digital products. I have purchased with a separate credit card to test, but the customer is not receiving the product to download via email.
After payment, if I go to orders, it says on-hold (the yellow icon), and I have to manually go complete, yet I've already received the monies.
Any ideas?

Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer put on his media-critic hat on the GOP.com blog on Thursday to complain that ABC, CBS, and NBC gave several hours more live coverage of their conventions, largely the overflow into the local-news hour at 11 pm Eastern time. The GOP says across the three networks, it drew 47 minutes of overtime, compared to 261 minutes for the Democrats.
Our own research on the Thursday nights show Trump spoke longer, and drew slightly more overtime on the three networks, 119 minutes to 112.

A ship carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States became the first LNG carrier to pass through the enlarged Panama Canal on Monday.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has created a dedicated team to monitor violations of coastwise shipping rules as supporters tout the Jones Act's homeland security benefits.
Major freight railroads in the United States employed 152,426 workers as of the middle of June 2016, down 0.2 percent from the previous month and 11.55 percent year-over-year, according to data from the Surface Transportation Board.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
About 450,000 TEUs of capacity is expected to be scrapped in 2016, which would be double the amount scrapped in 2015, according to the London-based shipping consultant Drewry.
Ocean carrier Hyundai Merchant Marine joining the 2M Alliance - comprised of Maersk Line and MSC - has fueled speculation about Maersk's ultimate motives, but the short term impact is a larger share on the transpacific trade, especially from Korea.
Forget playing the blame game, the fraught implementation of container weighing rules came down to the fact that the container shipping industry has no single trusted information source.

Former university official dead at 66
Published: Thursday, February 15, 2007 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Sybil Todd, former vice president for student affairs at the University of Alabama, died Tuesday after a nearly 10-month battle with cancer.
She resigned from UA in 2003 after five years in Tuscaloosa, returning to her home state of Texas, where she worked for a catalog company. Todd, 66, was diagnosed in May with pancreatic cancer.
She was a wonderful lady, and she was very caring and generous to students," said Kathleen Cramer, senior associate vice president for student affairs and worked under Todd.
Todd came to UA from the University of Houston, where she was vice chancellor for advancement, to return to student affairs, a department she oversaw at the University of Utah for three years and the University of Virginia for 17 years.
She was hired by former UA President Andrew Sorensen, and left along with several high-level administrators after President Robert Witt was hired in 2003. She said Witts hiring marked a clean point to retire, and she was not forced out.
Ive been a teacher all my life, and I think its one of the things Im most proud of," she said in announcing her retirement in May 2003. But this is a new way to go, for me to be completely disconnected from an institution of higher learning, and I think its very exciting."
Witt said in a prepared statement that the university community extends its sympathies.
During her long career in higher education, Dr. Todd was devoted to developing and implementing programs that fostered student success," he said. Her energy and commitment to students were important facets of her many contributions in the Student Affairs area."
Her sister, Norma Lockett, said Todd was ready to retire after 31 years in education.
She felt like it was a good stay there, and she felt like she did some good," Lockett said. She just wanted to take time off, and do something different with the remaining years of her life."
Todd is credited with re-organizing the student affairs division to better serve students. She created the dean of students office, naming Tom Strong as dean.
Strong remembered her as bubbly, optimistic and good at connecting with students.
Students enjoyed her," he said. She had a very open and engaging way about her."
Also during her tenure she worked toward the integration of the UA Greek system. During the last three years of her tenure, two sororities with a multicultural emphasis organized on campus.
Todd also led the effort to add on to the university recreation center, Cramer said.
Services will be 2 p.m. Saturday at Believers Chapel in Dallas. Instead of flowers, donations can be made to the Mary Todd Palmer Endowment at West Texas A&M University or the Sybil Todd Endowment at the University of Virginia.

Before I get to the recipe I would like to congratulate Radhika of Just Home Made for winning May's Honest Cooking feature. Congratulations Radhika and we will all be looking forward to reading your featured post at Honest Cooking.
Maíz (Spanish for corn or maize) is the most important crop and ingredient in Mexican cuisine. Corn was domesticated in Mexico 10,000 years ago*, and as the time passed the crop spread throughout the Americas. After the conquistadors arrived it was then sent to Europe and later spread around the world. Nowadays there are thousands of variations of corn and it has become a very important crop around the world. The foundations of Mexican cuisine are held strong by this valuable crop. Without corn there would be no tortillas, and without tortillas there wouldn't be tostadas, enchiladas, quesadillas, nor tacos. Lest not forget atole and champurrado. You get the point, Mexican food revolves around corn.
One of my favorite childhood dish uses corn as part of it's foundation, Calabacitas con Maíz/Elote or Zucchini with Corn. My mom served it on the side of meat, like a steak. I loved, and still do, this side dish so much that I could eat only it and ignore the main dish. The sweet smell of onions caramelizing alongside the fresh scent of corn is unforgettable. The moist and mild zucchini absorbs the flavors of the corn and tomato perfectly. The tomatoes provide extra moisture and a little sweetness to the dish. The spices are minimal and all of the flavors come from the vegetables. It is fresh, healthy, light yet hearty enough to be served as a vegan meal.
Corn is not in season right now so canned corn will do for now. Zucchini however is in season and this is a great way to enjoy fresh seasonal zucchini. Once corn comes into season in a few months you can continue to enjoy the dish and compare the taste using canned versus fresh corn on the cob. There are also a few variations to my recipe that you could try to give the dish another dimension. Some people also add fresh Poblano chile, or for a spicier version Serrano or fresh Jalapenos can be added. Toppings such as crema fresca, Mexican sour cream, or crumbled queso fresco can be added to the zucchini. Personally I like it simple, no toppings and just the few ingredients you see in the recipe below. Buen Provecho and give this healthy low-fat dish a try this summer.
Serves: 2
1 large zucchini, quartered and sliced
1 can of corn or 2 fresh ears of corn when in season
1 large tomato, roughly chopped
1 small white onion,finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp. corn or vegetable oil
additional variations:
chile poblanos or spicy green chile like Serrano or Jalapeno
queso fresco and or Mexican sour cream, as a topping
1. Heat the oil, saute the onions until translucent. Next add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes stirring often. Add the corn and cook for 5 minutes. If using fresh corn cook until the corn becomes tender. Next add the tomatoes, zucchini and spices. Stir to combine the ingredients. Cover, turn the heat to low and continue to cook until the zucchini has soften and tomatoes have broken apart.

Virginia's Gay-Marriage Ban Ruled Unconstitutional
Virginia's ban on gay marriage was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge who said it violated the equal-protection rights of the state's residents including couples married legally in other states.
The ruling won't take effect until any appeals are finished. It follows a federal judge's Feb. 12 order requiring Kentucky to recognize same-sex marriages from other states and a Feb. 10 decision by Nevada officials to drop their effort to defend the state's law banning gay marriage.
The case is part of a stream of litigation over state gay-marriage bans playing out against the backdrop of a June Supreme Court decision invalidating part of a federal law that limited U.S. recognition to marriages made up of one man and one woman. Since that decision, four judges have overturned state bans on same-sex unions.
"Virginia's marriage laws unconstitutionally deny Virginia's gay and lesbian citizens the fundamental freedom to choose to marry," U.S. District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen in Norfolk wrote in yesterday's ruling. "Government interests in perpetuating traditions, shielding state matters from federal interference, and favoring one model of parenting over others must yield to this country's cherished protections that ensure the exercise of the private choices of the individual citizen regarding love and family."
Allen's ruling linked the turmoil over same-sex marriage to the U.S. struggle against racial discrimination.
'No Matter'
She began her opinion by quoting from a statement advocating freedom for all to marry, "no matter their sexual orientation" from Mildred Loving, the black woman whose marriage to a white man was at issue in the 1967 Supreme Court decision outlawing Virginia's ban on interracial marriage.
Loving made the statement in 2007, the year before her death, on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in her case, Loving v. Virginia.
"Tradition is revered in the commonwealth, and often rightly so," Allen said in her decision. "Tradition alone cannot justify denying same-sex couples the right to marry any more than it could justify Virginia's ban on interracial marriage."
Allen, who was named to the bench by President Barack Obama in 2011, ruled in a lawsuit filed by two same-sex couples who challenged Virginia's voter-approved 2006 constitutional amendment banning gay marriage as a violation of the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equal protection under the law.
Supreme Court
While the Supreme Court stopped short of explicitly saying that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right, its opinion in the June case, involving the federal Defense of Marriage Act, has been cited by U.S. judges who found that right in Utah and Oklahoma, as well as by a state judge in New Jersey.
"The Supreme Court has not expressly reached the issue of whether state laws prohibiting same-sex marriage violate the U.S. Constitution," U.S. District Judge Terence C. Kern in Tulsa, Oklahoma, said in his Jan. 14 decision as he recounted the high court's expansion of legal protections for gays since 1996. "But this court knows a rhetorical shift when it sees one."
The decisions striking down bans in Utah and Oklahoma are on hold while those states pursue appeals, which may eventually lead to the Supreme Court.
Wisconsin Prohibition
The American Civil Liberties Union on Feb. 3 sued to overturn Wisconsin's prohibition. Similar challenges are pending in a federal court in the western Virginia city of Harrisonburg, as well as in Idaho, Florida, Alabama and Michigan, where a non-jury trial is scheduled for Feb. 25 before U.S. District Judge Bernard A. Friedman in Detroit.
Lawsuits challenging state bans were filed this week in Louisiana and Missouri. The Associated Press reported that two gay couples sued Kentucky today to overturn that state's ban.
Same-sex marriage has been legalized in 17 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia.
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe in a statement hailed Allen's ruling as "a significant step forward in achieving greater equality for all of our citizens," and good for business as well. "In order to grow our economy and attract the best businesses, entrepreneurs, and families to Virginia, we must be open and welcoming to all who call our commonwealth home," McAuliffe said.
Election Dispute
The Norfolk case, known as Bostic v. McDonnell, has assumed a high profile partly because attorneys for the plaintiffs included Theodore Olson and David Boies, adversaries in the contested 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore.
Boies represented Gore when the election dispute went to the Supreme Court and Olson was Bush's lawyer. Bush later named Olson solicitor general.
Olson and Boies helped upend a gay-marriage ban in California and triggered similar lawsuits in other states.
"Virginia's prohibition on marriage for same-sex couples relegates gay and lesbian Virginians to second-class status," Olson said in a statement after yesterday's ruling. "Laws excluding gay men and lesbians from marriage violate personal freedom, are an unnecessary government intrusion, and cause serious harm. That type of law cannot stand."
One of the couples in the Bostic case, Timothy Bostic and Tony London, sued after being denied a marriage license at a local clerk of court's office. The other plaintiff couple, Mary Townley and Carol Schall, of Chesterfield County, Virginia, sought state recognition of their 2008 marriage in California.
Marriage Rights
The Schalls sued after they were denied rights available to partners in opposite-sex marriages, such as visiting and getting medical information about a hospitalized spouse, obtaining insurance coverage and jointly adopting a child.
When the couple tried to renew a passport for a child borne by Townley, a civil servant at a U.S. Post Office in Virginia told Schall that, "You're nobody, you don't matter," according to a narrative of their experience of discrimination cited in Allen's ruling.
Virginia's failure to recognize their marriage stigmatized them and led to "humiliation and discriminatory treatment on the basis of their sexual orientation," Allen wrote.
A phone message left at the office of David Oakley, an attorney for George Schaefer III, the clerk of court for the Norfolk Circuit Court, wasn't immediately returned. Schaefer's office declined to issue a marriage license to Bostic and London and is a defendant in the case.
Opinion Shift
In arguments in the case, Oakley said that, "if there truly has been a shift in political opinion, it is more appropriate to allow the General Assembly and the voters to make that decision."
Byron Babione, senior counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom, a nonprofit group that represented Michele McQuigg, the Prince William County clerk of circuit court, criticized the ruling as an overreach and may appeal. McQuigg intervened in the case to defend the law.
Allen's reasoning "would permit nearly every relationship to be a marriage so long as it is grounded in choice and emotion, yet that's not what marriage or true liberty has ever been," Babione said in an e-mailed statement. "Because the court's ruling interferes with the right of Virginians to determine the future of marriage in their state and raises serious constitutional issues, we are reviewing the judge's decision with our client and considering our next steps."
Attorney General
Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, a Democrat who took office on Jan. 11, refused to defend the state's ban. Herring, who beat Republican Mark Obenshain by 907 votes out of more than 2.2 million cast in November, compared the ban to the state's prohibition of interracial marriage invalidated by the Loving case.
Some Republican lawmakers have called for Herring's impeachment for refusing to continue defending the law, as his Republican predecessor, Kenneth Cuccinelli, did.
"Judge Wright Allen's eloquent decision is only one step in what I suspect will be an extended legal process to definitively answer the questions raised in this case," Herring said in a statement. "This decision shows that Virginia, like America, is coming to a better place in recognizing that every Virginian deserves to be treated equally and fairly."
Herring is at least the fifth state attorney general to decline to argue for gay-marriage prohibitions. His decision follows that of fellow Democrats Kamala Harris in California, Lisa Madigan in Illinois, Kathleen Kane in Pennsylvania and Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada.
The case is Bostic v. McDonnell, 13-cv-00395, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia (Norfolk).

Scent of A Woman
|Release Date:
|December 23, 1992
|Running time:
|157 minutes
|Al Pacino, Chris O'Donnell, James Rebhorn, Gabrielle Anwar, Philip Seymour Hoffman
|Martin Brest
|Ronald L. Schwary
|Giovanni Arpino, Bo Goldman
|Universal Pictures
Description: Driven by an extravagant, tour-de-force performance by Al Pacino, Scent of a Woman is the story of Frank Slade (Pacino), a blind, retired army colonel who hires Charlie Simms (Chris O'Donnell), a poor college student on the verge of expulsion, to take care of him over Thanksgiving weekend. At the beginning of the weekend, Frank takes Charlie to New York, where he reveals to the student that he intends to visit his family, have a few terrific meals, sleep with a beautiful woman and, finally, commit suicide. The film follows the mis-matched pair over the course of the weekend, as they learn about life through their series of adventures. Though the story is a little contrived and predictable, it pulls all the right strings, thanks to O'Donnell's sympathetic supporting role and Pacino's powerful lead performance, for which he won his first Academy Award. Scent of a Woman is based on the 1975 Italian film Profumo Di Donna.~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

Vimero poster Domingo Antonio Robledo shows off this incredible footage, and had the following to say: "Considering the date—and her newest release today—I wanted to share this moment of Badu, as she prepares to take stage (with none other than Dave Chappelle introducing her to the crowd). Such an amazing person, Badu could very well be at her best, and looks stronger than ever. Thank you Seema, Erykah (of course), Mars and Big Mike."

Good riddance.

The right move. All the best to Frank the Tank.
good move by the steelers. this is good news.
So are you going to change your screen name????Originally Posted by frankthetank1
haha hell no i've had it since 2005. i think it would be appropriate if frank summers doesn't go by the tank any more. we have all seen him block, he is no tank by any means.Originally Posted by Stewie
Maybe they will try to stick him on the PS. I'm ok either way. I would have liked to see him run the ball more to see if he broke the upright problem.
If they are smart they will be using Redman as FB. Can you imagine season long pounding of redman and mendy? I think that's every bit as good as Rice and McClain.

The two-back sets looked very good on Thursday.Originally Posted by Shawn
They'll likely use Redman as a Pony fullback occassionally (I'd like to see that formation used in which they give the ball to Redman a couple of times early, and then later fake it to him up the middle and then toss it to Mendenhall on the old pitchout play...haven't seen that one in a while). However, for blocking purposes, we'll likely see more of David Johnson at FB than anyone. And perhaps the occassional Bronco formation with Legursky at FB on the goal line.Originally Posted by Shawn
