To be frank, McGwire was better off not admitting what everybody already knew – he used steroids over and over again throughout his career and especially during the 1998 season when he beat Roger Maris's long standing homerun record by belting 70 homeruns in a season.
As I have said before, anybody or anything that has any sort of intelligence or heartbeat, including Ophelia my smelly cat, Chopper the junkyard dog and our bumbling village idiot, Dick Cheney, knew that McGwire was juiced. We knew he spent time with Jose Canseco as a bash brother. Guilty by association. He was an OK player early in his career. Then, all of a sudden, he grew a barrel chest and hit homeruns like he had never done before.
Having accepted a job as St. Louis's hitting coach, he had to come clean. During Monday's admission, McGwire blamed everything but himself for his past steroid and human growth hormone use. He admitted to trying steroids very briefly in 1990, after he was injured in 1993 and "on occasion throughout the 90s, including the 1998 season."
After confessing all of this to Bob Costas on the MLB Network, McGwire hit a grand slam with this one liner: "Looking back, I wish I had never played during the steroid era."
Oh right. I almost forgot. You played in the steroid era. You were forced to inject all that crap into your body. My bad. I totally understand now. You weren't cheating at all. It was the game that made you do it.
I simply can't accept this explanation. Maybe from the younger Alex Rodriquez but old man McGwire? He and his bash brother Canseco started the steroid era. They were the steroid era. McGwire was not a product of the steroid era, rather the steroid era was a product of Mark McGwire.
OK, so I got over that and continued to listen to McGwire's tearful apology. Just maybe he would say something that I could respect. He went on to explain that the main reason he used steroids was to recover from injuries more quickly. During the mid-90s he went on the disabled list seven times and missed 228 games over the course of five years. He had a ribcage strain, torn left heel muscle, stress fracture on his left heel, and a torn right heel muscle.
"It was definitely a miserable bunch of years and I told myself that steroids could help me recover faster," McGwire told Costas. "I thought they would help me heal and prevent injuries, too."
OK, maybe this guy is human after all. Injuries keeping a guy's career down in the majors. I get that. He needs all the help he can get to stay healthy. Stop now Mark you are gaining my respect.
"There's no way I did this for any type of strength use," he continued. "…There's not a pill or an injection that's going to give me, going to give any player, the hand-eye coordination to hit a baseball."
He lost me again. I remember a time when steroids were not regulated by baseball and not even really illegal. If the steroids were just for health purposes, like one would take a daily vitamin, why didn't he admit to using them before? I mean it was for his health?
And then to basically say that he could have hit the homeruns without the steroids because of his gift of hand-eye coordination is a crock as well. I have been to and played in a lot of Little League Baseball games in my life. There are a lot of 8-year-old players that have the hand eye coordination to hit the ball – and they hit the ball pretty far. Steroids simply help those with the coordination hit the ball farther. Come on Mark. You used steroids to not only stay healthy but to hit the ball farther.
I could pick apart McGwire's admission of guilt for two days, but I am not sure what McGwire could say for me to change my views on him and his career. Maybe admitting that he cheated and that his homerun record is bunk. By manning up and saying that, I could probably muster up a little respect for the guy.
Now, as it stands, this guy remains a fake that has hurt the game of baseball. I hope baseball will find a way to take away his homerun record and that he will never get enough votes to enter into the Baseball Hall of Fame. And if he does make it to Cooperstown, he had better be inducted years after gambling man Pete Rose is inducted. Rose, at least, was a good baseball player. It was what happened off the field that hurt him.

Took a sketch in of what my daughter wanted, and Adrienne and her staff created just what she wanted. My daughter actually squealed the first time she saw the cake, she was so happy. I was amazed at the way it came out. It looked like a Charm City Cake, at 1/10 of the Charm City price. And it tasted as good as it looked. When they first boxed up the cake, which was three tiers, they had it in a box that was only three-sided, and the top level of the cake fell off when we were turning out of the bakery. I was devastated, but took the cake back and they fixed it up right away, making it look good as new! After getting a better box, we were on our way to the party, where all of the guests raved about how delicious the cake was and how amazing it looked. I would definitely recommend Herman's, as they have great prices and a great product.

Malaysia Airlines Receives 75th 737 From Boeing
Seattle, 06 August 2012 : Boeing and Malaysia Airlines celebrated the direct delivery of the airline's 75th 737 aircraft during an event at Boeing Field today. The airplane, a Next-Generation 737-800, is scheduled to arrive in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Wednesday 8 August 2012.
"The 737 has been an amazing airplane for our airline," said Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Group Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia Airlines. "When we took off on our own as Malaysia's national airline on 1 October 1972, our inaugural jet flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore was operated using the 737. Since then this aircraft has been a very reliable workhorse for both our domestic and regional operations. We continue to be impressed by the 737's consistent reliability, unmatched economics and innovation in passenger comfort."
The airplane comes with the 787 Dreamliner-inspired Boeing Sky Interior, which features larger pivoting overhead stowage bins, larger window reveals and LED lighting to enhance the sense of spaciousness. Malaysia Airlines was the Asia launch customer for the Boeing Sky Interior in October 2010.
Malaysia Airlines took delivery of its first 737 in 1972 and has operated the 737-200, 737-300, 737-400, 737-500 and 737-800.
"We're proud of our 40 years of partnership with Malaysia's leading airline," said Dinesh Keskar, senior vice president of Asia Pacific and India Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "With its new five-star Skytrax rating and award for best cabin crew, passengers will have a first-class in-flight experience on board their brand new 737."
The Next-Generation 737 family has won more than 6,900 orders and has a diverse backlog exceeding 2,700 airplanes. Malaysia Airlines has an additional 35 737s on order.
With more than 6, 000 airplanes in service, the 737 family represents more than a quarter of the total worldwide fleet of large commercial jets flying today. More than 339 airlines in 117 countries fly 737s.
About the Malaysia Airlines and Boeing Partnership
Malaysia Airlines initially ordered six Boeing 737-200s to kick start its operations on 1 October 1972. The first of six aircraft arrived in Malaysia on 23 July 1972.
By 1987, a total of 13 737-200s were in the airline's fleet. Subsequently a total of 52 737s from the -300, -400 and -500 series were introduced into the airline's network between 1992 and 1995.
On 31 March 2008, Malaysia Airlines announced its decision to purchase the Next-Generation 737-800 with a firm order for 35 airplanes and a further purchase option for 20 such aircraft.
The first 737-800 arrived in Kuala Lumpur in November 2010, and on 21 June 2011 the airline exercised its option to purchase another 10 737-800s.
To date, Malaysia Airlines has taken delivery of ten of the 45 737-800s through direct purchase. The latest delivery in August 2012 makes it the 75th 737 delivered to Malaysia Airlines over the 40 years.

From the ones I've used, if you need to do that, you may have an obstruction somewhere slowing down the flow, and preventing it from emptying properly. The other possibility is the users are rolling off a huge amount of paper or they have abnormally large bowel movements. It never ceases to amaze me how much paper some people use. After all, it came out of you, and you ARE going to wash your hands afterwards anyways. Try taking a bucket and fill it nearly up. dump it in the toilet and see how fast it drains. If there is a backup, you have a drain problem, and it isn't the toilet's fault. My mother grew up in the depression, and they were limited to 4-squares of TP per use. Now, I do use more than that, but the idea that you need a huge wad of the stuff just always seemed foreign to me.

MagiKats offers out of school Maths and English tuition suitable for all children from mainly ages 4 to 16.
Children who want help with their school work want that help NOW. They want topics being covered at school to be more accessible immediately, yet at the same time are likely to have gaps in core skills that need to be filled.
This is why we work on two strands simultaneously - to give an immediate boost underpinned by steady consolidation.
Every student has a programme that is built just for them. They concentrate on coming to grips with topics that they are covering at school whilst also working on a parallel thread that is put together to fill any gaps that may exist in their core skills.
Special support is available when exams are looming and we offer a special programme during the long summer break.
MagiKats is a programme written by educators, to support the school curriculum. Our materials are adjusted as necessary for each region in which MagiKats operates, from Australia to the UK and the Middle East. We keep everything up to date and adjust whenever necessary to remain in line with student need. To see our site for MagiKats outside Australia, click here.
We know that it is hard to fit everything in, so MagiKats tries to help. Students attend a weekly workshop, where an appropriate and wide mix of approaches are incorporated, from textbook-style exercises through educational games to the use of calculators. At the end of each workshop, students usually receive a weekly work pack of five short assignments. These are designed to maintain their learning momentum until their next visit. Answer keys are provided so that parents can give immediate feedback and encouragement at home. Continuity is important, so MagiKats Tuition Centres are open all year round. However there is no lengthy tie-in and only one month's notice is required.

Vanilla Rooibos Tea Cookies
Author Notes: I really, really love Earl Grey tea cookies. There's nothing better on a cold afternoon. So when I saw the vanilla contest pop up, I figured I'd try to make a recipe for vanilla tea cookies. I cobbled together a recipe with inspiration from my favorite Earl Grey tea cookie recipe (vintage The Kitchn) and from Heidi Swanson's tip to use the whole bean in cookies. Since rooibos tea goes so well with vanilla, I swapped that in for the Earl Grey. The result is a crisp, buttery cookie with a seriously sultry flavor. My officemates gobbled them up in no time. As you can see from the photo, the first time, I tried to use whole rooibos leaves both in the cookies and mixed with the turbinado crust. Texture? Not so lovely. Much better ground up, which is what I recommend here. This also makes for a beautiful, toast-colored cookie: perfect for fall and winter. - Rivka
Food52 Review: WHO: Rivka is a cookie-addicted Food52er who is health consultant by day, food blogger by night.
WHAT: A cookie that captures tea time all in one bite.
HOW: Whip up a shortbread-style dough, roll in sugar, and wait impatiently by the oven door.
WHY WE LOVE IT: For the tea time twist, Rivka has you toast Rooibos leaves until they're beautifully fragrant -- this perfumes your kitchen (and your cookies) from the very first step of this recipe. - A&M
Makes 36
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons rooibos tea leaves (about 5 tea bags)
- 1 vanilla bean, whole, ends trimmed, cut into segments
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoon turbinado sugar
- Heat a small stainless steel pan over medium heat. When pan is hot, add rooibos leaves, and shake pan to distribute tea into a single layer. Toast for about 2 minutes, until tea is fragrant but not darkened. Depending on your leaves, this may happen much more quickly; watch it carefully. When leaves are fragrant, transfer them to a bowl and let cool for a couple minutes.
- Combine the sugar, vanilla bean, and rooibos in the bowl of a food processor and pulse for about 2 minutes, until there are no chunks of bean left in the bowl. Add the powdered sugar, flour, and salt to the bowl and pulse a few times to combine. Then add the milk, vanilla, and butter and pulse several times, until a dough forms.
- Turn dough onto a very lightly floured surface, gather it together, and roll it gently into a log 1.5-inches in diameter.
- Sprinkle turbinado sugar on a plate or work surface, and roll cookie dough log in the sugar, making sure to cover the entire surface of the log with sugar. Wrap log in plastic or wax paper and transfer to the fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes to chill. (You can leave the log in the freezer and slice off cookies one by one, whenever the urge strikes.)
- When ready to bake, turn on the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or silpat.
- Remove log from fridge or freezer, and cut 1/3-inch slices off the log, rotating the log as you go to ensure that cookie slices stay round. Transfer cookies to the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1/2 inch between each (they don't really spread, but they need breathing room to crisp up). Bake for 12 minutes, until cookies are just starting to brown. Leave on the cookie sheet to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to racks.
- Cookies will keep in an airtight container for several days.
- Your Best Recipe with Vanilla Contest Winner!

I've made these cookies so many times, and they never fail to disappoint. Such a lovely butter cookie. So delightful!! Recently I used this recipe, made one batch as written, made another minus vanilla bean (I ran out), and used some lavender earl grey tea instead of rooibos, and they were also amazing. Thank you!!

I made my first batch today! I have several days of gatherings with four sets of family and tomorrow is the first. I will start by saying they do indeed freeze well. They were firm but easy to cut which was wonderful. I made a few changes, however. I added 1 tbsp of lemon zest, used 1 tsp powdered vanilla instead of the bean, Rooibos Chai tea from Teavana, 2 tsp Almond extract instead of vanilla, 4 tbsp lightly sweetened almond milk instead of milk (my dough was a bit dry) and I didn't toast the leaves. Instead I melted 3/4 cup of butter and then steeped the leaves in the butter for 10 minutes; 5 on low heat, 5 on no heat. I did extra butter because some of it sticks in the pan and doesn't make it to the processor. I think for the next batch I'll make them a bit more moist and probably grind the tea leaves up in my coffee grinder prior to adding them. Otherwise these are FANTASTIC! The flavor shines both on its own and in milk (almond milk for me) or in tea and the color is a very lovely golden brown at 12 minutes. I will definitely be making more varieties. Now just to hope my bread turns out just as awesome...Thanks for sharing!

Because I make my loose leaf rooibos tea with a bit of lemon zest and grated ginger, I'm going to make it that way for my infusion and see how it turns out. I think it will be quite good.!

Woe is me...I just made these for my friend's bday gift tomorrow, using his fav Earl Grey tea. Unfortunately, all my pretty little perfectly round cookies turned into one giant sheet. I used the 1 1/4 c of unbleached flour-(wheat), cold butter, then chilled the roll. So, I'm off to the flower shop in the morning.
12 months ago nonuvyourbusiness
this recipe does not work at all, there must be an ingredient at a wrong amount or missing. Dough? what dough? you mean that powder that comes out of the processor? I was to wrap this is saran wrap and freeze it for an hour before I could shape it.

These are literally the best tea cookies I have ever encountered. Hands down.

Well thanks! Glad you enjoyed.

These were incredible. I couldn't find any rooibus at the grocery store, and didn't much feel like driving to the tea and coffee shop, so I substituted in chai instead, and they were incredible! Like a chai tea latte in cookie form---in other words, perfection.
over 1 year ago Rivka
April, so glad you enjoyed them! Chai is a natural sub-in here.
over 1 year ago Sarah S. Forth
Not a complete failure, but close. Cookie dough melted and ran together on the sheet. We cut them into strips & called them lace cookies--after draining them on paper towels to get rid of excess butter. Two of us worked together on these--one reading the recipe, the other measuring-- so I don't think we made any mistakes. Our advice: Cut the butter in half.
over 1 year ago Courtney Pollock
Wow! I wonder what went wrong. I've made these cookies five times now (and even doubled it twice) and never had a problem with the consistency. I hope you give it a try again. They are delicious!
over 1 year ago Rivka
I also wonder what went wrong. I've made these cookies probably 7 times at this point, and I've never had a problem with butter leakage. Is it possible you inadvertently reduced the sugar or flour?
over 1 year ago Craiger1ny
I made these as part of a huge Christmas Eve meal and had the same thing happen. But, I woke up the next morning and tried again. Realized that after a long day of cooking, I used 1/4 cup of flour instead of the 1 1/4. They turned out great the second time around. I used a pomegranate rooibos. Also, my vanilla beans were a bit old. The first time around the food processor turned the sugar into a billowy powder before the bean was sufficiently pulverized. Used a spice grinder for the tea and vanilla the second time, then added it into the sugar in the food processor. Worked like a charm. Will definitely make these again!
over 1 year ago Paulaob
These sound delicious. I was wondering if the butter should be cold or room temperature?
over 1 year ago Rivka
soft but still cold.

Mmm, I just made these. They are so delicious, flavorful, and crunchy! I made mine with Earl Grey tea. i was a little suspicious of their texture before I baked them, but they turned out lovely. thank you!

The cookies look lovely and I'm dying to try it out soon. May I ask, when you ask for flour, is it plain flour ? I'm rather new to baking.
over 1 year ago Rivka
plain, all-purpose flour.

These look beautiful. Do you think I can make them without a food processor?
over 1 year ago Rivka
Totally. If you have a mortar and pestle, you can smash the rooibos leaves in there, and then you can just use the seeds of the vanilla bean instead of the whole bean. A spice grinder (with as much sugar as will fit) would also work great. The dough can easily be made in a stand mixer instead of a food processor.
over 1 year ago Rivka
...or in a big bowl with an electric mixer.

Hi Rivka, thanks for these tips. In the case of the spice grinder, do you mean grinding the tea leaves with as much sugar (from the 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp sugar) that can fit in along with the tea leaves? (I'm sorry if this sounds like a really obvious question but I'm a bit OCD when it comes to knowing how I'm supposed to prepare for baking cookies.)
4 months ago Rivka
Hey JeanBee, yep, that's exactly right. If it doesn't all fit, grind whatever does, and then mix the two together.

These are so yummy! Really different from the typical holiday cookie and a recipe I will come back to again and again. The first time I made these I didn't follow the directions and put the cookies directly on the baking sheet. They burned pretty badly. The next time I used baking parchment they turned out great!
over 1 year ago Rivka
ahh yes, the parchment is key. glad they worked out on batch 2!

Congratulations on your win Rivka!! Rooibos Earl Grey is my grandson's favorite tea; when we can't find it in stores, I order it for him online. I am sure he will love your cookies.

Thanks, Kukla!

Hi Rivka,
These look amazing. I'm a huge fan of Earl Grey tea cookies and make them with orange and lime zest, which I think works wonderfully there. Do you think adding orange zest to these gorgeous vanilla rooibos cookies would be a good idea? Thanks!
over 1 year ago Rivka
I think orange zest would work well. Do let me/us know if you try them with the orange.

For more information about Rhode Islands Executive Order, which calls for major changes to Notary duties, please visit the NNAs special Rhode Island Notary information site.
By A. Ralph Mollis
Rhode Island Secretary of State
Notaries Public play a vital role in preventing fraud and protecting the integrity of countless daily transactions involving government agencies, businesses and the general public. That is why Governor Donald L. Carcieri and I established a new set of official guidelines for Rhode Islands Notaries Public.
For some time, Notaries have been asking for assistance in enhancing the publics perception of the industrys professionalism. As elected officials, we have an obligation to the public to ensure that Notaries possess the honesty, integrity and knowledge necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of their crucial office. The new Standards of Conduct are intended to meet both of these pressing needs. They incorporate the scope and duties of a Notary Public, and should help every Notary understand exactly what their responsibilities are and how to fulfill them.
While Notaries seldom attract the publics notice, they should. As state-commissioned officials, their function is to ensure that our most important transactions such as buying a home or signing a business merger agreement are handled honestly and ethically, specifically by identifying signers and deterring fraud. Their seal means we can trust that the people we do business with are who they say they are. In a world plagued by identity theft and fraud, that simple assurance is more important than ever.
Notaries are quite literally the first line of defense in our ongoing battle against fraud. The Standards are designed to reflect the integrity that our 21,000 commissioned ministerial officials have demonstrated to the residents of our state for generations. Serving as a Notary Public comes with significant responsibility to uphold public trust. The guidelines equip Notaries with the best practices they need to protect themselves and the general public.
The Standards outline unprofessional actions including refusal to perform a notarial act based on someones race, religion or gender disciplinary consequences, advertising recommendations and Notary definitions among other issues. In addition, the guidelines recommend that Notaries Public:
- Notarize only when the person whose signature is being notarized is present and presents satisfactory evidence of his or her identity.
- Use a seal that includes the Notarys name exactly as it appears on his or her commission when notarizing documents.
- Adopt standard operating procedures when notarizing documents and keep a written record of notarial acts, including a description of the document.
- Refrain from influencing a person to enter into or avoid a transaction, except in cases when the act may be unlawful.
I commend Rhode Islands Notaries Public for the essential public service they provide. They play a crucial role in billions of dollars of economic activity every year. These guidelines will ensure their sterling reputation for professionalism remains untarnished.
The office of Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis maintains the records of Notaries Public, authenticates their signatures and keeps on record the official signature of every Notary Public in Rhode Island.

Agency wants charges dropped in deer rescue case
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Natural Resources said Friday it is asking a prosecutor to drop charges against a couple who nursed an injured baby deer back to health and kept it in an enclosure on their property for two years.
The misdemeanor charges of illegal possession of a white-tailed deer against police officer Jeff Counceller and his wife, Jennifer, spawned a public outcry. A Facebook page and online petition sprung up in their defense.

Material & Resource Use
EMC encourages recycling in our owned and operated facilities. In addition to meeting regulatory requirements for waste reduction and recycling in the countries where we operate, the EMC® global recycling strategy aims to take advantage of all reasonable opportunities to minimize our waste disposal needs through waste reduction techniques, material reuse, and recycling efforts, including composting.
We use the following approach to capture recyclable materials in our facilities around the world:
- In our Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, California, and Cork locations, recyclables are removed from the waste stream by waste management contractors or municipal providers.
- In our manufacturing operations, waste materials are segregated and recycled by our waste management vendors into reusable commodities, which reduces the overall cost of recycling to the business.
We are continuously looking for opportunities to improve our recycling and composting efforts at our global facilities. In Massachusetts, North Carolina, and California, we've focused efforts on our cafeteria and have already replaced many traditional service items with compostable alternatives. In 2013, we will work with our supplier Sodexo to research and identify additional compostable products for use in our facilities.
Other highlights from 2012 include:
- Our Massachusetts locations alone composted more than 138 metric tons of waste.
- Our North Carolina locations composted more than 17 metric tons.
- Our Cork, Ireland location reused 441 metric tons, recycled 998 metric tons, and composted 21.5 metric tons.
- Our Bangalore, India location recycled 97.7 metric tons.
Realizing that recycling is managed and controlled in our company-owned facilities, we continue to explore recycling opportunities and efficiencies in leased facilities.
CASE STUDY: EMC's Apex Manufacturing Facility Pushes for Zero Waste to Landfill
EMC encourages our facilities to recycle more and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. Each year, we work with vendors to find solutions for recycling a different material such as wooden pallets, shrink wrap, or bottles and cans. In 2012, we explored improving our existing polypropylene foam recycling program at the Apex facility by developing a new approach that compresses the foam onsite, thereby requiring fewer truckloads to deliver the material for recycling. This new approach serves as an example of how EMC continues to evolve our processes to reduce the impact of materials we use. We plan to launch this solution in 2013 and achieve zero waste-to-landfill at the Apex facility by 2016.
CASE STUDY: Power Flo Option for Compactors
In 2012, EMC's waste and recycling vendor, E.L. Harvey, converted standard hydraulic fluid to an eco-friendlier Power Flo fluid for all self-contained compactors at several Massachusetts locations. The new Power Flo option requires less frequent pick up by our vendor, E.L. Harvey, and utilizes new hydraulic fluids that have a reduced environmental impact. They are readily biodegradable and require less servicing than previously-used hydraulic fluids.
We strive to re-use office electronics, extend their useful life, and reduce waste at all of our company-owned and operated facilities. When office electronics reach the end of their useful life, they are returned to manufacturers who accept them for take back, or sent to disposal vendors for responsible reuse or recycling.
The India COE continues to be authorized by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board to store, handle, and dispose of its own eWaste. In 2012, we disposed of 1.6 metric tons of eWaste. The COE is working with local recycling partners to further improve the eWaste program in 2013.
To learn more about EMC's vision for eWaste, visit Product End-of-Life.
We are committed to reducing and eliminating the use of hazardous materials in our operations wherever possible. We do not use any Ozone-Depleting Chemicals (ODCs) in the manufacturing of our products, and our manufacturing operations generate only small quantities of hazardous waste (as defined by the U.S. and Ireland Environmental Protection Agencies). In addition:
- The Apex, North Carolina manufacturing facility is a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) of hazardous waste and a Small Quantity Handler (SQH) of universal waste. As a CESQG, the Apex facility generates less than 0.1 metric ton of hazardous waste in any calendar month.
- The Franklin, Massachusetts, manufacturing facility is registered as a Small Quantity Generator (SQG) of hazardous waste and waste oil, and is considered a SQH of universal waste. As an SQG, the Franklin facility generates less than 1 metric ton of hazardous waste in any calendar month.
- As SQHs, the Apex and Franklin facilities accumulate less than 5 metric tons of universal waste onsite at any time.
In 2012, there were no significant spills on any EMC property.

Square Dinner Plates, Set of 4
Yorktowne, a classic stoneware pattern, has a deep blue, hand-applied floral motif that adds dimension to the smooth glaze that is reminiscent of early salt-glaze techniques. This shapely square dinner plate is softened by rounded corners, so it contrast nicely with the round plates and bowls of a traditional table setting. The Yorktowne square dinner plate is microwave and dishwasher safe and goes great with other Pfaltzgraff Yorktowne pieces, like dinnerware sets, serving platters and more. Set of 4 square dinner plates, each measures 10 inch square.

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama endorsed controversial bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines on Monday, as well as stricter background checks for gun buyers — but conceded he may not win approval of all in a Congress reluctant to tighten restrictions.
President Barack Obama stands with Vice President Joe Biden as he makes a statement Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012. Acknowledging opposition in Congress, President Obama says he will present a plan within days, which may include stronger background checks and limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
"Will all of them get through this Congress? I don't know," said Obama. He said lawmakers would have to "examine their own conscience" as they tackle gun control legislation after the horrifying Connecticut school shootings but in the face of opposition from the National Rifle Association and other pro-gun rights groups.
Obama spoke at a midday White House news conference one month after the Newtown elementary school rampage, which ignited a national discussion on preventing mass shootings.
The president said he would unveil a comprehensive roadmap for curbing gun violence within days. His plan will be based on recommendations from Vice President Joe Biden's gun task force and is expected to include both legislative proposals and steps Obama can implement by himself using his presidential powers.
But the most sweeping and contentious elements — including an assault weapons ban — will require approval from a Congress that has been loath to tackle gun control legislation for more than a decade. The politically powerful NRA has vowed to fight any measure that would limit access to guns and ammunition, a hardline position that could sway some Republicans and conservative Democrats.
Despite the opposition, Obama said he would "vigorously pursue" measures to tighten gun laws.
"My starting point is not to worry about the politics," he said.
The president's new resolve follows a lack of movement in tackling gun violence throughout much of his first term, despite several high-profile shootings. He called the Dec. 14 massacre of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School the worst day of his presidency and vowed to take action.
Parents of the slain Connecticut children added their voices to the national dialogue Monday. Members of the newly formed group Sandy Hook Promise called for an open-minded discussion about a range of issues, including guns, mental health and safety in schools and other public places.
And lawmakers in New York state pressed ahead with what would be the nation's first gun control measure approved since the school shootings. Among the items in a tentative agreement in the state Legislature are further restrictions on the state's ban on assault weapons, limits on the size of magazines to seven bullets, down from the current 10, and more stringent background checks for sales.
White House officials believe moving swiftly on gun proposals at a national level, before the shock over the Newtown shooting fades, gives Obama the best chance to get his proposals through Congress. Several pro-gun rights lawmakers, including Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Rep. Jack Kingston of Georgia, said in the days following the shooting that they were open to discussing possible control measures.
Seeking to keep up the pressure on lawmakers, Obama said Monday that if "everybody across party lines was as deeply moved and saddened as I was by what happened in Newtown, then we're going to have to vote based on what we think is best."
Officials said Obama and Biden met Monday afternoon to discuss the vice president's recommendations. Ahead of that meeting, Biden huddled with a dozen House Democrats who have formed their own gun violence task force and whose political muscle will be needed to push legislation through Congress.

De-Bloating Breakfast Foods
4 Ways to De-Bloat During Breakfast
After a long night out of fun, food, cocktails, or all of the above, you can wake up feeling like a giant marshmallow. Although eating or drinking anything else might be the last thing on your mind, certain foods or liquid can cut your symptoms in half. Try one of these items for breakfast the next time you wake up feeling bloated, and see how quickly they shrink you back to normal.
Drink the right fluids: Why not hydrate and de-bloat at the same time? Pineapple juice and peppermint tea are tasty liquids known to help reduce inflammation, as well as coconut water and chia seeds. Try this chia seed drink first thing in the morning to begin the de-puff process instantly. You can incorporate this one on a daily basis to feel more energized in the mornings.
Add fruit to your menu: Papaya is one fruit that helps to move the digestion process along. Slice some as a side to your breakfast or make it the main attraction with this papaya doughnut recipe. These doughnuts have the look you may be craving without risking the possible constipation that comes from the real thing.
Throw water-soluble veggies in: It's no secret that hydration can counteract the effects of a sodium binge or long night out. Throw some fluid happy veggies like tomato or zucchini into your meal to get the ball rolling. This veggie frittata contains asparagus, which eases gas and flushes waste from your system.
Eat foods known to de-bloat: Instead of reaching for that easy bowl of cereal, opt for a de-bloating star like yogurt or quinoa, which can double as your oatmeal. You can even add them together with a breakfast quinoa parfait recipe. By making your main meal one that can shrink the puffiness, you'll be able to feel lighter by lunch time.

was no chance
ANAHEIM, Calif. Cheap Jerseys China. - The more runners that are on base, the better Chris Capuano seems to pitch. The Los Angeles Angels found out the hard way how much the Dodgers left-hander digs in when he is in trouble. Capuano outdueled Ervin Santana with seven gritty innings, leading the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory on Saturday in Game 2 of their "Freeway Series" revival and helping end the NL West leaders four-game losing streak. "He does a really good job of making pitches." batterymate A.J. Ellis said. "When guys are on base, the opposing hitters are a little more aggressive. And that plays into Cappys hands because of his ability to throw his off-speed stuff. Cappys been amazing, the way hes been throwing the ball -- and it started in spring training. He has a lot more velocity on his fastball. And when he has that, it makes all his off-speed stuff better." Capuano (9-2) allowed a run and seven hits, struck out four and walked none while lowering his ERA from 2.71 to 2.51. The eight-year veteran worked with runners on base in every inning except the second, giving up a leadoff hit in each of his last four innings. He also benefited from a late-afternoon starting time for national television. "He was mixing his pitches in and out and keeping us off-balance," Angels slugger Albert Pujols said. "He threw a great game. He kept the ball down, made the pitches when he needed to and got a couple of double plays. But it was also pretty tough to see the ball after the second inning with those shadows out there. Im not making any excuses, but you should have seen the way both sides were taking swings. It was ridiculous. But you cant take anything away from Capuano." Ronald Belisario pitched a scoreless eighth and Kenley Jansen worked a perfect ninth for his 12th save in 15 chances. The Dodgers grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first with the help of throwing errors by the Angels infield. Dee Gordon singled, stole second on a pitchout and advanced on grounder wide of first base by Jerry Hairston Jr. Pujols went for the lead runner instead of the sure out, but his low throw skipped off Gordon as he slid into third and Gordon continued home. "Thats a play that I make a lot," said Pujols, who made a similar gambit in Game 4 of years NLDS to help St. Louis beat Philadelphia. "I saw him in the corner of my eye, and I figured if I throw him out right there, they dont score that inning. It was a gamble play. I know its early in the game, but that isnt going to take any aggressiveness out of me. "If it happens again tomorrow and Ive got an opportunity, Im going to try to do it again. This isnt going to stop the way I play the game. ... If I make that play, its a great play. But it didnt work out." Hairston ended up at second on Pujols third error of the season and advanced on a wild pitch. He scored when Izturis fielded Juan Riveras two-out grounder and pulled Pujols off the bag with a high throw. Howie Kendrick legged out a double to left-centre leading off the Angels fifth, and Izturis followed with a chopper off the plate that Capuano made a diving stop on to the right of the mound before throwing him out. Kendrick got to third on the play and scored on Erick Aybars single in the hole off the glove of a diving Gordon at shortstop, cutting the Dodgers lead to 2-1. John Hester followed with a single, and Gordon made a diving stop of Mike Trouts hard smash through the box -- but could only get the force as Trout beat the relay to first. Center fielder Elian Herrera then robbed Torii Hunter of extra bases with a leaping catch in left-centre for the third out, preventing the potential tying and go-ahead runs from scoring. Santana (4-8) was charged with three runs -- two earned -- and four hits over eight innings with 10 strikeouts and no walks. The right-hander, coming off a one-hit shutout against Arizona, retired 21 of his last 24 batters. He has allowed one earned run in 16 innings over his last two starts, after going 1-1 with a 10.18 ERA over his previous four outings. "Its good to see him throwing the ball pretty well -- but at the same time, we didnt score a lot of runs for him," Pujols said. "Its tough to win games when you dont score, and thats what happened to him in April. But hes a great pitcher, and he needs to keep his head up like he did today -- even though they scored those two early runs. He was able to keep us in the game and give us an opportunity to win." Santana retired 13 consecutive batters after Uribes error, but Gordon broke the string in the sixth with a leadoff triple over the head of left fielder Mark Trumbo, and Hairston drove in the Dodgers third run with a sharp single off the glove Izturis as he played the ball near the line. Gordon appeared to beat out a bunt single leading off the seventh, but umpire C.B. Bucknor ruled him out on a headfirst slide after second baseman Kendrick charged the ball and made a sidearm flip to Pujols. NOTES: Gordon has 22 stolen bases in 29 attempts, Trout 20 steals in 23 chances. Trout swiped second in the eighth after his leadoff single against Belisario. ... The Dodgers are 16-29 at Anaheim during the regular season since interleague play was established in 1997, and 38-53 overall against the Angels. Cheap Jerseys. Terry sat out Chelseas victory in the final against Bayern Munich to serve a mandatory one-match ban. UEFA says its disciplinary panel has added two more matches, after ruling that Terry was guilty of violent conduct when he struck his knee into the back of Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez. Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping. Scott Frandsen of Kelowna, B.C., and Victorias David Calder won their mens pair semifinal in a time of six minutes 21.51 seconds. Britain was second in 6:23.08 and Italy third in 6:27. http://www.cheapnflwholesalejersey.com/. Smith signed with the Steelers earlier this year. He has also spent time with the Omaha Nighthawks (2011) of the United Football League, the San Francisco 49ers (2010) and the Baltimore Ravens (2007-2009). Cheap NFL Jerseys. The receiver who earned a Super Bowl ring with the 2007 New York Giants signed was among three import players to agree to terms with the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Tuesday. Thanksgiving NFL Jerseys. The club announced Monday night that left-handed reliever Luis Perez will miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his throwing elbow. DETROIT -- Austin Jackson usually covers Comerica Parks spacious centre field with calming ease, rarely leaving his feet or having to dive for a ball. When Anthony Gose lifted a fly to right-centre with a man on second in the 10th inning, Jackson realized right away he would need a little extra effort to catch this one. "It was one of those situations where if that ball drops, hes probably going to score. I knew in that situation I probably had to attempt to dive," Jackson said. "I knew it was going to be close." Jacksons spectacular diving catch kept the game tied, and his Detroit Tigers eventually won it on Alex Avilas RBI single with two outs in the 11th. The 3-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays gave the Tigers a three-game sweep and left them only 1 1/2 games behind the first-place Chicago White Sox in the AL Central. "I havent dove too many times. I probably could count on one hand," the speedy Jackson said. "I knew I had to get on my horses a little bit." With runners on first and second in the 11th, Avila singled to right off Chad Jenkins (0-1). Gose played the ball on a hop and couldnt throw out pinch-runner Quintin Berry at home. Joaquin Benoit (3-3) got the win. Justin Verlander struck out 12 in nine innings for the Tigers. Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera left in the second inning because of right ankle soreness, but Tigers manager Jim Leyland said he expects Cabrera to play Friday, possibly as the designated hitter. J.A. Happ took a shutout into the eighth inning for Toronto, but the bullpen couldnt hold a 2-0 lead. Happ left the game after walking Avila with one out, and Jackson singled off reliever Brandon Lyon. After Omar Infante flied out, Darren Oliver came on to face pinch-hitter Brennan Boesch and allowed an RBI single. With Prince Fielder batting, Oliver threw a wild pitch that allowed Jackson to score from third and tie the game at 2. Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer off Verlander in the fourth. Happ allowed a run and four hits in 7 1-3 innings. He walked three and struck out seven. Verlander allowed four hits and two walks in his first start against the Blue Jays since he threw a no-hitter at Toronto last year. With Jose Bautista, Brett Lawrie and J.P. Arencibia still recovering from injuries, thhe Blue Jays looked overmatched at times against last years American League MVP and Cy Young Award winner.dddddddddddd Verlander struck out Rajai Davis on three pitches to start the game and caught Adeiny Hechavarria looking with a sweeping breaking ball in the third. Colby Rasmus was in an 0-for-26 slump when he hit a single to right to start the fourth. Encarnacion followed with his 33rd homer of the season. Toronto has scored fewer than four runs for seven straight games. Jacksons terrific catch in the 10th -- he secured the ball in the palm of his glove -- gave the Tigers a little more time to score their third run. "He made a great play," Gose said. "I didnt think he was anywhere near it and he came out of nowhere." Jackson had been playing Gose a bit toward left-centre, meaning he needed to run even farther to make the catch. "Hes made some great ones since hes been here. Thats one of the best ones Ive ever seen him make," Leyland said. "I thought there was no chance. ... I said, Oh, my God, thats in the gap. All of a sudden, out of nowhere came Austin. To me, thats one of the best catches hes made, probably because of the situation." Jhonny Peralta led off the bottom of the 11th with a single, and Delmon Young hustled down the line on a grounder to third, beating the relay to first to prevent a double play. Berry ran for Young and stole second before Jeff Baker walked. Andy Dirks struck out, bringing Avila to the plate. Happ, acquired by the Blue Jays from Houston last month, was the third straight left-hander to start for Toronto this series. Verlander struck out the last two hitters in the sixth and then struck out the side in the seventh. His final strikeout was against Kelly Johnson in the ninth, giving Verlander 1,407 and moving him ahead of Jim Bunning for fifth place on Detroits career list. NOTES: Detroit reinstated RHP Al Alburquerque from the 60-day disabled list and optioned him to Triple-A Toledo. The reliever hasnt pitched this season after having right elbow surgery. ... The Tigers host the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. Detroit RHP Rick Porcello (9-8) takes the mound against Angels RHP Zack Greinke (1-2). The Blue Jays are at Baltimore. Toronto RHP Carlos Villanueva (6-3) takes on Orioles LHP Zach Britton (2-1). ' ' '

Tarot Card of the Day
The Hermit
Tuesday, Feb 19th, 2013
The challenge of what has traditionally been known as the Hermit card is to be able to recognize a teacher in a humble disguise. This font of mysterious knowledge will not make it easy for the student to acquire his wisdom, as it takes time and long contemplation to fathom what he knows. He often speaks wordlessly, or in ancient and barbaric tongues, communicating with the elements, animals and Nature herself.
While the hourglass was an identifying feature on the earliest Hermit cards, more modern ones have shifted the metaphor, showing more or less light released from his lantern. In either case, the Hermit card reminds us of the value of time away from the hubbub of civic life, to relax the ego in communion with Nature.

Winter 2008
Gasping at almost 20,000 feet, Zoe Hart carefully belayed me over gaping crevasses toward the summit of Mount Bullock Workman, nestled in the Karakoram Mountains of Pakistan. The cone-shaped snowcap above had seemed benign, but lumps formed in my parched throat as we now realized it was precariously cantilevered over a vertical-rock north face.
As we got closer, I probed each step deliberately and quickly slid my skis over gaping cracks, trying not to glance at the rock below. Forty feet later, I halted suddenly – my stomach clenched with an intuition too churning to ignore. This would be our final step, I declared. We had both lost friends to cornice failure, and weren't interested in becoming another mountaineering statistic.
Weeks of work had now become a dream come true and we would soon begin a first descent. We celebrated by having a look around. K2 and the Ogre, peaks of my childhood climbing dreams, watched us protectively as they held the clouds of a predicted storm momentarily at bay. To the south and down the Biafo Glacier, our next ski goal Koser Gung popped into view, standing at just over 21,000 feet yet strikingly without snow.
