Malik's Entourage (from The Game)
How can we forget about Malik's most loyal friend and confidant? Though Malik may not have the largest entourage (it consists primarily of himself, Tee Tee, his mother Tasha Mack and his security guard), it nonetheless signifies that he doesn't need new friends to get by.

Mm, artichokes! This week, Meatless Monday goes vegan with this easy and flavorful dinner. Lemon and shallots bring out the flavor of these frozen hearts, so you can enjoy the flavor all year 'round.

Sweet Kaak
Sweet kaak is nothing like regular kaak, except that it's also kinda like a bread stick. Actually, it's really more like a cookie made with orange zest. I usually don't love orange zest, but for some reason I absolutely love sweet kaak. It's a traditional Syrian treat, one that if I have in my cookie jar (okay, fine, I don't have a cookie jar, but I do have airtight containers that I can leave on the counter and store cookies in) I will finish in about a day. Basically, they are sugar cookies that are twisted. Yum! Continue reading
Cherry Apricot and Pistachio Biscotti
I love biscotti! They are the perfect after dinner treat, and are a great treat in the morning to dip in coffee. These cookies are filled with dried fruits and nuts, which makes me think they're healthy, too! I usually take my time and make teeny skinny biscotti, but these are great cut a bit thicker, since you get a mouthful of the dried fruit. Plus, it makes making the biscotti that much easier. Continue reading
Old-Fashioned Banana Cake
The problem with making desserts for Shabbat is that we can't take pictures of the final project…I mean, you can see the cake and how it looked right out of the oven, but you can't see it sliced and on a plate, which is too bad because this cake was pretty. Okay, the pan is a little bit messy, but at least my counter is clean! Oh, and the other problem is that you have to make the desserts pareve. Which means no cream cheese frosting! Those who dare to eat pareve whipped topping dolloped some on top of their cake. I ate it plain and it was amazing just the way it was. Continue reading
Roasted Artichokes
It finally feels like spring and artichokes are here! I admit, artichokes used to scare me. Until a couple of years ago I'd had the frozen kind and the kind that came in a jar, but never the real thing. Then one day Jessica and I decided to buy some and learned how to boil them online. We were instantly converted to fresh artichoke people (while wondering who first figured out that there was a delicious heart hiding among the spiky leaves?!), but I've moved on to baking and roasting rather than steaming them these days.
Passover Marshmallow Nut Log
This has to be one of the easiest desserts I've ever made. And with the reaction it got from my seder crowd, I think I'll have to make it for every holiday meal. Not only are they simple to make, especially if you have the ingredients on hand, they also don't involve an oven, so you can make them on the actual holiday if you forgot to prepare something in advance. Continue reading
Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
When my cousin invited me and 80 other people over for Shabbat lunch, I knew I had to chip in. I would make gluten-free cookies! Because what would be the point of bringing something if he couldn't eat it? You see, my cousin has celiac disease; his body can't digest gluten. Continue reading
Spiced Candied Cashews
So you know when you walk by those Nuts 4 Nuts carts in Manhattan and they smell so amazingly good that you finally cave in and buy them, only to realized that you wasted two dollars on something that smells 1000 times better than it tastes? Why do they not taste like they smell? I decided to take matters into my own hands. These subtly spiced candied cashews made my apartment smell amazing and they made my taste buds happy. Take that, nuts that you buy from a cart on the street (when you put it that way, I'm not so surprised…)!
I had all of these leftover cashews from when I made cashew chicken. I also wanted something to munch on. These candied cashews come together so quickly and easily (maybe 15 minutes), as long as you have cashews around, you're good to go. Or else try them with other nuts. They're very similar to the peanuts that Jessica made, but I played around with the spices and the sugars.
Candied Cashews
- 2 cups raw unsalted cashews
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the spices together.
- In a large skillet over high heat, mix the nuts, sugar and water. Stir frequently and bring to a boil. Continue stirring; the liquid should evaporate and turn into a syrupy consistency. This should take about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the spices over the nuts and stir vigorously, letting the water completely evaporate, for about 4 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and continue stirring until the nuts are coated in the crystallized sugar.
- Carefully pour the nuts out onto the baking sheet to let cool.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars
It's kind of like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the bread. And with a lot more peanut butter. And a little more amazing. Use your favorite jam (oh, use some of the homemade stuff if you want this to be even more decadent!)
I made these pareve, and used earth balance shortening and natural peanut butter. I actually use Skippy brand because 1. it was on sale, and 2. it is much creamier than most natural peanut butters. And though that's not what I always prefer in pb&j sandwiches, it's definitely better for the texture of the cookie. No trans-fats in this recipe! Use butter if you want it to be even more amazing, but then you can't serve it to your family after Friday night dinner.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars, adapted from Ina Garten:
- 1/2 pound earth balance, or your favorite natural margarine or shortening (or butter, of course!)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups (18 ounces) peanut butter
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (unless you have really salty peanut butter. then just leave it out)
- 1 1/2 cups (18 ounces) jam. I used raspberry, but use your favorite flavor)
- 2/3 cups roasted salted peanuts, chopped
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease and flour a 9×13 cake pan (I used a pyrex)
3. In the bowl of your electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on medium until they turn light yellow, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla and peanut butter. Mix until just combined.
5. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
6. Add the flour mixture to the wet with the mixer on low. Mix only until just combined.
7. Spread about 2/3 (just eyeball it) of the batter to the bottom of your baking pan. Smooth it out and make sure it's even using a knife or spatula.
8. Spread the jam on top, evenly.
9. Take spoonfuls of the batter and drop the rest on top of the jam. Don't worry if the jam layer is not completely covered, the dough will spread during baking.
10. Sprinkle with the peanuts.
11. Bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown.
12. Let cool before cutting into bars (or else they'll fall apart and crumble – they'll still taste good, though!). I cut them into 24 bars. They're really decadent, so they don't have to be big to be enjoyed!
Superb Butternut Squash Soup
I remember watching Jamie Oliver on the Food Network, back when he was the Naked Chef. Well, he wasn't actually naked, which is why I wasn't surprised when they changed the name of his show (or did they just start a new one) called Oliver's Twist. Anyway, he would "strip down" recipes so that they were really just the essentials of cooking. No fancy gadgets or ingredients, just great homemade food. Now he's never on the Food Network anymore, and I don't get the Cooking Channel, so I never see him on TV. I can't even watch the reruns of his show Jamie at Home. But I can still get most of the recipes on the Food Network website, which makes me happy. His recipes are simple and tasty, and he doesn't use any gross ingredients; it's mostly natural, earthy food. His recipes really bring out the essential flavors of the main ingredients.
And this is why I was so excited to make this soup recipe. I love Jamie Oliver and I love butternut squash! It's definitely my favorite winter squash, even though it's a pain to peel and chop. Everything else about it is just perfect, an my favorite way to eat it is in soup form. Something about butternut squash soup just makes me smile.
Sage is a classic combination with butternut squash, and infusing the oil with that flavor imparts a wonderful undertone to the soup. The sage on top adds a great crispiness. I ate a lot of those sage chips before serving the soup. Oops. Hence the lack of crispy sage on top of the soup in the picture. It's delicious with a teaspoon of sour cream mixed in, too. Just so you know.
Superb squash soup, adapted from Jamie Oliver (serves 8):
- 16 fresh sage leaves
- 2 red onions, peeled and chopped
- 2 sticks of celery, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeds taken out and chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 quarts vegetable stock
- Extra-virgin olive oil
1. Heat large saucepan over medium heat and pour in some olive oil, enough to cover the bottom.
2. When it's hot, throw in the sage leaves and fry for about 30 seconds, until crispy. Remove with a slitted spoon and drain on paper-towel lined plate.
3. Add your celery, onion, and carrot, garlic, and jalapeno to the pot. Add salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
4. Add the squash and stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
5. When the squash is soft, blend the soup using an immersion blender until you have a smooth puree (or as chunky as you like it).
6. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle the sage leaves on top.
7. Serve with croutons if you want (that's how Jamie Oliver did it).

At the onset of a wildfire season billed as perhaps worse than 2000, some big help could be on the way. Very big help.
For more than a year, Evergreen International has been converting a 747 for use as an aerial firefighting tanker. Already, the aircraft has made some 20 test drops over Arizona.
"It represents one of the most advanced pieces of firefighting equipment that's come along in a long time," said Mike Padilla. He runs aviation at the California Department of Firefighting Protection. He hopes to have the 747 in service before the end of what promises to be a long, hot summer. But the conversion still must pass inspection by the FAA.
The Evergreen conversion can carry loads of up to 20,000 gallons. Evergreen hopes it will be approved and on the fire line in time to help with the huge blazes expected this summer. But there are questions about whether a 747, built to fly high, can accurately drop fire retardant from as low as 200 feet AGL.
Further, the aircraft won't be able to fly deep into narrow canyons where fires can be most stubborn. But at a time when the Forest Service has abruptly cancelled the contracts of 33 aging tankers because of safety concerns. Although the FAA has agreed to conduct emergency inspections of the decades-old aircraft, there's still no timetable, nor definite path to getting them back into the air.

SATELLITE BEACH, Fla., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lung Rx, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of United Therapeutics Corporation , announced publication in The Journal of The American College of Cardiology (JACC) of the results of the randomized, controlled pilot studies of Treprostinil Sodium for Inhalation, an investigational compound being developed by Lung Rx for the treatment of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. Lung Rx also announced today that the name VIVETA has been submitted to the FDA as the proposed brand name for Treprostinil Sodium for Inhalation.
The JACC article concluded that dose increases of VIVETA across a ten-fold range were "effective and well-tolerated" and that the medicine "may offer a new strategy for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension."
"I am honored to salute Drs. Rubin and Seeger, the co-chairs of the steering committee for these pioneering pilot studies," said Martine Rothblatt, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of Lung Rx. "They have clearly moved pulmonary science forward by demonstrating the unique pulmonary selectivity of the VIVETA molecule."
The JACC publication, entitled "Favorable Effects of Inhaled Treprostinil in Severe Pulmonary Hypertension: Results From Randomized Controlled Pilot Studies," reports on the results of right heart catheterizations performed on 123 patients across three separate clinical trials. Right heart catheterizations are the gold standard for determining whether a medicine is reducing the life-threatening heart-lung pressures that are the hallmark of pulmonary arterial hypertension. The studies demonstrated, with a p-value < 0.0001, that VIVETA was more effective than a comparator molecule (iloprost) in producing a sustained reduction in pulmonary pressures. This means that there was a less than a one in ten thousand chance that these results were spurious. The authors observed that inhaled treprostinil "exerts sustained pulmonary vasodilation with excellent tolerability at relatively low doses and may be inhaled in a few breaths." (J Am Coll Cardiol 2006; 48:8, pp.1672-81).
Lung Rx is in the process of completing its confirmatory TRIUMPH-1 (TReprostinil Sodium Inhalation Used in the Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension) study, a 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of VIVETA in NYHA Class III and IV patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension that is being conducted at centers in the United States and Europe.
Lung Rx, headquartered in Satellite Beach, Florida, is a wholly owned subsidiary of United Therapeutics Corporation focused on medicines that treat or are delivered via the lungs. United Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of unique products for patients with chronic and life-threatening cardiovascular, cancer and infectious diseases.

Pitfalls of Participatory Programs: Evidence From a Randomized Evaluation in Education in India
Participation of beneficiaries in the monitoring of public services is increasingly seen as a key to improving their efficiency. In India, the current government flagship program on universal primary education organizes both locally elected leaders and parents of children enrolled in public schools into committees and gives these groups powers over resource allocation, and monitoring and management of school performance. However, in a baseline survey we found that people were not aware of the existence of these committees and their potential for improving education. This paper evaluates three different interventions to encourage beneficiaries' participation through these committees: providing information, training community members in a new testing tool, and training and organizing volunteers to hold remedial reading camps for illiterate children. We find that these interventions had no impact on community involvement in public schools, and no impact on teacher effort or learning outcomes in those schools. However, we do find that the intervention that trained volunteers to teach children to read had a large impact on activity outside public schools -- local youths volunteered to be trained to teach, and children who attended these camps substantially improved their reading skills. These results suggest that citizens face substantial constraints in participating to improve the public education system, even when they care about education and are willing to do something to improve it.Download Info

Fresh Carrot and Corn Soup
August 20th 2013By Sharon Lurie
Carrots are a goldmine of nutrients. For the best taste results, use fresh all the way. You want bright orange carrots, with feathery green ponytails, which seem such a pity to discard, and mealies bulging with perfect rows of teeth that you slice off the cob. Now that's what I call fresh! Believe me, you'll taste the difference between that and anything frozen or precut. What could be better than the sweet taste of carrot and corn soup for Rosh Hashanah.

Tiger Woods almost literally punched the sky when he chipped in on the 16th green today at the Memorial Tournament.
It was the exclamation point on a 5-under round of 67 to win his second PGA Tour event of the season and move into a tie for second place all time with 73 Tour wins.
Ironically, he tied Jack Nicklaus on the list by winning his tournament on Sunday.
Woods looked so comfortable in his swing today that even when he missed a shot, he wasn't upset, he wasn't screaming in frustration, he just moved on.
He started slow and then made his move, all while Spencer Levin and Rory Sabatinni fell around him. Which is fairly normal for old Tiger. But it wasn't old Tiger. Levin didn't completely crumble until 13 when he double bogeyed the par-4 then bogeyed 17. He is a good player but his time hasn't come yet.
Saying that Tiger Woods is back is a loaded statement. What does that mean? Is he back like he was in 2001? 2009? Does it matter? The fact that he was in contention today, let alone winning the damn thing was great for golf, tv and sports in general.
I spent my Thursday in Hutchinson, slapping around in the wind. A failed attempt at playing Highlands Country Club left me at Carey Park o the driving range. (Highlands is a great little track tucked back in Hutch. You'd never know it if you went looking for it. But it's a good little course with a surprising amount of water on the course. If you aren't paying attention, it will bite you.)
So in my failed attempt, I would not let the wind beat me on this day and went to the driving range at Carey Park. Nothing exceptional but it was a good practice facility. Flat area to hit from, bucket of water to clean your clubs and a bench to take a load off when you've had too much.
And it got me thinking: Why is this so hard to comeby in Wichita? It shouldn't be this hard. I am still stunned that only two Wichita city course have driving ranges and both of them are on the West side of town. McDonald, Sim Park and Clapp don't have ranges. How? McDonald used to be the old Wichita Country Club - I find it hard to believe that players back then didn't have a driving range? Golf clubs have driving ranges, this is not a rarity or a luxury to have one. Braeburn has one but only if you have a WSU Student ID card will you get the discounted rate of $9(!) a bucket. 9 DOLLARS! It was $6 at Carey Park and even in Denver, a bucket of range balls is like $7. Now Auburn Hills does a great job with their range and so does Tex Consolver. But unless you live on the West side of town - your practice session is going to be limited.


text: I believe there is a general lack of authority sites in my area. Not even the top ranked sites, my competitors, have such links. The high PR links they have are either proper quality link pages (like I also have) or (I guess) paid links on the index page of a number of sites. I suppose the next best thing to aim for is high PR links from sites in neighbouring areas... but to get such links is for natural reasons somewhat more tricky.

What is the major message of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee?
1 Answer | add yours
I would say that the major mesage is the ramifications of deception. The soldiers and government repeatedly trick the Native Americans into signing unfavorable contracts, steal their land, and try to corral them into reservations. Sadly, some of the Native Amerians also betray their people through deception, urged on by the whites who make false promises that these men believe. Depection leads to anger and bloodshed on both sides.

So here's the thing. Just like Facebook Pages, Youtube won't let you change your channel url
1. once you've got subscribers or
2. changed your channel name once already.
This makes sense. It's because bad people will lure you to subscribe to a nice channel name like "Youtube.com/GreenCooking" then suddenly, after they have 1,000,000 dollars, oh. I mean, subscribers, change the name to "DunkinDonuts" But, if you don't fall into either category, the best way to get subscribers, and hence, viewers to your channel is to
1. deliver emotionally surprising mentally memorable unique content
2. be highly visible by leaving comments on the youtube walls of all the people who commented on your competitors' youtube videos.
In other words, if you're selling women's clothing,
A. don't make your username or channel url "youtube.com/BigBurlyManWeapons"
B. don't leave on comments on a channel named "youtube.com/Isotopes4Nanotech"
Anyhow, the video for how you do it is above.
Now, if you want to know how to make people AUTOMATICALLY subscribe to your Youtube channel automatically, that's the next video HERE.

Actress Scarlett Johansson gives SodaStream some sex appeal in a controversial spot. Kia revives actor Laurence Fishburne's "Matrix" character Morpheus in its commercial. And cute puppies and kids abound in ads for Cheerios to Anheuser-Busch.
Advertisers are planning to pull out the tools in their arsenal during Super Bowl time this Sunday (Monday NZ time), including celebrities, A-list rock bands and cinematic story lines.
Of course, there will still be ad surprises on Sunday with major brands like Chrysler and Coca-Cola staying mum on at least one of their ads. But the ones that are already out use a variety of tactics to draw viewers' attention.
Overall, marketers are doing a better job getting their branding message across - while still entertaining - than previous years when a cheap joke or gag ruled supreme, says Kelly O'Keefe, professor of brand strategy at the Virginia Commonwealth University Brand Center.
"This year there's much more focus on brand personality: the spot has to be both interesting and funny and link back to the core assets of the brand," he said.
"I'm predicting a stronger Super Bowl than last year."
Advertisers are in the game to win. The Super Bowl is advertising's biggest showcase, with more than 108 million people expected to tune into the game. And companies are paying an estimated US$4 million ($5 million) to have their ads be a part of the action.
Here are 10 ads to watch for on Sunday (US time):
1. ANHEUSER-BUSCH: The biggest Super Bowl advertiser's ad in the fourth quarter shows an adorable Golden Labrador becoming enamored with one of the beer maker's iconic Clydesdales to the tune of "Let Her Go" by Passenger.
Online: http://youtu.be/uQB7QRyF4p4
2. GENERAL MILL'S CHEERIOS: The cereal maker brings back an interracial family that starred in a prior spot. This one shows a father telling his daughter that they're going to have an addition to the family, a baby boy. Then, the little girl strongly suggests they also get a puppy. The ad airs during the first unscheduled time-out of the game.
Online: http://youtu.be/LKuQrKeGe6g
3. BANK OF AMERICA: The bank will promote its partnership with AIDS nonprofit (RED) by having music group U2 sing their new single "Invisible." between the first and second quarter. The song will be a free download on iTunes during the game and for the following 24 hours. Bank of America will donate US$1 ($1.30) each time it is downloaded to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS.
4. SODASTREAM: The Israeli at-home soda maker company has stirred up controversy on two fronts. Their ad features "Her" actress Scarlett Johansson touting the health and environmental benefits of the soda maker and will run in the fourth quarter. The ad first made waves when the company said it would delete its last line, "Sorry, Coke and Pepsi," at a request by Fox. Then on Thursday, Johansson resigned her Oxfam ambassadorship. The nonprofit was unhappy she was linked with SodaStream, which operates in Israeli settlements in the West Bank of Palestine. Oxfam is opposed to that.
Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v-wrI
5. H&M: The clothing maker's ad in the second quarter features nifty technology that will allow people with some Samsung Smart TVs to order soccer star David Beckham's Bodywear products with their remote control in real time.
6. NESTLE'S BUTTERFINGER: A suggestive teaser ad showed a couple, "Chocolate" and "Peanut Butter," in '70s-style couple's therapy talking about the need for "change" and "excitement." The actual ad in the third quarter will have a related theme and Butterfinger is expected to introduce its Peanut Butter Cups with some tongue-in-cheek double entendres.
Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v-NkQuU
7. BEATS MUSIC: Ellen DeGeneres reimagines the Goldilocks and The Three Bears fairytale in this ad running in the third quarter that introduces Beats Music, a streaming music service.
Online: http://youtu.be/jJR6YV4WAnM
8. WONDERFUL PISTACHIOS: The snack producer showcases comedian Stephen Colbert running amok in two 15-second ads in the second quarter.
9. KIA: In the carmaker's third-quarter ad to introduce its K900 luxury sedan, Laurence Fishburne reprises his "Matrix" role as Morpheus and displays some surprising operatic skills.
Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v-wn52Dkmk
10. CHRYSLER: The automaker is bound to surprise. Always mum ahead of the game, Chrysler has produced some of the best loved and most remembered spots during the big game, from Eminem's "Imported from Detroit" ad in 2011 to last year's "Farmer" ad featuring scenes of American farmland and a voiceover by conservative radio broadcaster Paul Harvey. Look for another surprising spot or two this year.

But the people, upon these injuries offered to their former constitution
and government by the prophet's sons, were very uneasy at their actions,
and came running to the prophet, who then lived at the city Ramah, and
informed him of the transgressions of his sons; and said, That as he was
himself old already, and too infirm by that age of his to oversee their
affairs in the manner he used to do, so they begged of him, and entreated
him, to appoint some person to be king over them, who might rule over the
nation, and avenge them of the Philistines, who ought to be punished for
their former oppressions. These words greatly afflicted Samuel, on account
of his innate love of justice, and his hatred to kingly government, for
he was very fond of an aristocracy, as what made the men that used it of
a divine and happy disposition; nor could he either think of eating or
sleeping, out of his concern and torment of mind at what they had said,
but all the night long did he continue awake and revolved these notions
in his mind.

Thrasher High School Rebels
THRASHER, Miss. (WCBI) — After kicking off the 2012 season winning five of their first six games, Thrasher had its eyes set on their first playoff birth in two decades.
A daunting division schedule was ahead after the first six and the Rebels dropped their last four to finish at (5-5).
Aug 23 | New Site | home |
Aug 30 | Tupelo Christian | away |
Sept 6 | Open | |
Sept 13 | Smithville* | home |
Sept 20 | Coffeeville* | away |
Sept 27 | Vardaman* | away |
Oct 3 | Falkner* | away |
Oct 11 | Hamilton* | home |
Oct 17 | Houlka* | away |
Oct 24 | Benton Co | away |
Nov 1 | Biggersville* | home |
Nov 8 | Coldwater* | away |
*District games |
While a .500 season wasn't playoff worthy last season, it was Thrasher's second season in a row at or above the .500 mark. That hasn't been done since the early 1990′s.
Yet this year's mission remains the same for LaMart Harvey and Thrasher: get to the postseason.
"That's our goal is the playoffs," said Coach Harvey. "Just making the playoffs is the first step and from there, show up every Friday night and see what happens."
Going into the 2013 season, Thrasher will have to replace one of their best players in 2-time all-state linebacker Logan Dodds. But outside of LD, Coach Harvey returns nearly his entire team including a potent rushing attack.
"We got some guys that will step up and fill his (Dodds') shoes. Our offense will be ahead of our defense to begin the season," Harvey said.
One big component going into that talented offense will be the big ugly's up front, who are exactly that: big.
"We'll be strong up front. Our line will average 300 lbs."
Yes, you read that correctly: Thrasher's offensive line will average 300 lbs. That massive front five along with returning quarterback J.T. Huddleston, who brings two years of starting experience back, will give the Rebels ammunition to their aspirations of getting back to the playoffs.
"They don't care who gets the credit," says Harvey on his offensive line. "They want to get up front and push people back. That's a great group of guys we have up front. I'm hoping they can get us to the playoffs for the first time in 20 years."

Well, I waffled on whether I should even write the column you're about to read, because I figured I'd get CNET sued just by bringing up the topic. But I couldn't stay out of the fray. I find it terrifying that any criticism of Scientology is fast disappearing from the Web, thanks to ill-conceived copyright laws and an apparently rampant fear of being sued. Church of lawsuit-ology For the second time this year, the Church of Scientology has successfully pressured a Web site I truly respect into removing links to a site that criticizes the Church. This week, the Internet Archive, the 100-terabyte-plus digital library about which I penned my first column, is one Web site smaller. The missing site is Xenu.net, operated by a Norwegian businessman named Andreas Heldal-Lund. Internet Archive representatives say the Scientologists demanded the site be taken down, saying it contained copyrighted excerpts from church documents.
Stand up and fight The Scientologists have a long history of litigious attacks on critical works. In 1999, Amazon.com removed (and later restored) a book that criticized the Scientologists. In 1991, when Time Magazine published an intensive cover story investigating the Church and the suicide of one of its members, the Scientologists promptly sued for libel. The lawsuit was dismissed, and indeed, the Scientologists' lawyer, Helena Kobrin, was fined in 1994 for filing frivolous lawsuits. But the Church has been disturbingly successful with its Web challenges, mostly because many sites tend to reflexively delete links without checking to see whether they're actually in violation of the DMCA or other copyright laws. The DMCA is just that scary. While Xenu's operator, Heldal-Lund, has the right to challenge the copyright infringement claim, he won't because the DMCA also requires him to submit to U.S. jurisdiction if he does--a costly, exhausting, and potentially risky (at least financially) proposition.
A cult propagates its beliefs among members by isolating them from opposing viewpoints, by stamping out dissent, and by controlling information. I don't want to see Web sites doing that job for them just because we're afraid of a little uncharted legal territory. |

Shopping for a digital camera involves a lot of choices because the selection is so large. In order to make your shopping trip a little easier, there are some things you can consider beforehand to narrow down your search a bit. These tips for buying a digital camera may come in handy this holiday season.
1. What are you buying it for?
Because they make digital cameras for both experts and novices, it's important to know what you're buying your camera for. Do you have experience with cameras? How professional do your pictures need to be? Will you be taking pictures indoors, outdoors, or both? Thinking about the answers to these questions won't identify the perfect camera for you, but it will make it easier for you to work with a salesperson to narrow down the selection. If the camera isn't going to be used by you, then think about what the eventual owner will want to use it for.
2. Megapixels are important, but they don't tell the whole story
It used to be that a megapixel rating told you most of what you needed to know about a camera. Times have changed, however, and the number isn't as important as it used to be. That's because most new cameras have 5 megapixels or more, so you won't find yourself upset at the size and quality of your photos unless you have a specific purpose in mind. At levels much higher than 5 you might find yourself wishing for a lower megapixel rating as the pictures will take up a lot of space on your hard drive.
3. The camera might not be the only necessity
This is especially true depending on what you want to use the camera for, but any camera purchase may necessitate the purchase of accessories as well. For example, a camera may not come with a memory card, which is essential to store more than a few photos. Spare batteries and a case are two other accessories many people find important. But, depending on your use, you may also want a tripod, external flash, and other accoutrements.
4. Check out the reviews
Before you shop, go online and check out some user reviews. It make some time so sort the wheat from the chaff, but it will give you a good idea of any serious problems should they exist. Reading reviews can really help you to narrow down your list once you've identified several potential cameras.
5. Test the camera
When you have a list of possibilities in mind, got to the store and ask to try them out. It's important to hold the camera and take a few shots with it. Some cameras may be too bulky and may simply feel uncomfortable to you. Weight and size can really play an important part in how happy you are with the product.
6. Find your price
Once you have the camera in mind, it's up to you to find a good price on it. With enough searching, you can generally find a discount on any make or model, you just have to be patient.

Product Reviews
This lamp is nicely styled, but gives only very soft "mood" type lighting with only a 25 watt bulb allowed. The off-white paper inserts for the sides of the lamp have globs of dried glue on them that have oozed out from behind the black cross pieces of the design, which looks bad, but the lamp still looks cool at a distance. If it won't be seen up close, it's OK. Very chic design.

The distance should go down closer to the pole. (90,10) and (90,0) are the same point. If you start at the north pole and walk one mile to the south and then one mile to the west you are still one mile to the south of the north pole. At the equator you will get a hypotenuse.

Gentle demands more from Hull FC after poor spell against Warrington
Posted: February 25, 2013
|HULL FC coach Peter Gentle lamented his side's inability to produce an 80-minute performance once again as they slumped to a 24-10 loss to Warrington.
Gentle pointed to an 'unacceptable' 15 minute period early in the second half as four quick-fire Wolves tries killed the game.
Hull had led 6-4 at the KC Stadium before the Wolves took complete control, and his side's sudden switch-off left Gentle scratching his head for the reason.
A similar spell against Leeds saw the Black and Whites fall apart on the opening night of the season, whilst a slow start at St Helens ultimately cost them a win.
"We have to get to the bottom of why these horrible periods keep appearing," Gentle admitted afterwards.
"After the 15-minute spell in the second half we got what we deserved. We have to start putting an 80-minute performance together because we are still only playing for 60 minutes.
"I don't know where that 15 minutes came from, although in the second half we only completed at about 55 per cent.
"We are learning a lesson along the way, but the result is still disappointing."
While Hull's second-half collapse mirrored their defeat at Leeds, overall, their performance was much better.
Despite missing key playmaker Daniel Holdsworth because of concussion, Hull proved more than a match for last season's beaten Grand Finalists for 60 minutes of a tight and entertaining affair.
On his 350th Hull performance, Richard Horne's methodical kicking game and his side's robust defence earned them a platform to win the game, before Warrington cut loose as Hull fell away.
A first Super League home defeat in nearly a year leaves Gentle's men with just one victory from their opening four games. And heading to Widnes on Saturday evening, the Aussie coach admits his side need to make further improvements.
"All sides go through adversity where you don't see a lot of the ball, but we have to be better than that," he added.
"We have Widnes this weekend and that will be a tough game up there, so we have to be a lot better.
"It is hard to see the positives at the minute because I am really disappointed.
"We showed in the first half that we were capable of matching it with them and we were in control.
"Our kicking game was good and we were going okay, so to put a 15 minute period together as we did was unacceptable.
"We have to be better than what we were. I'm disappointed in how the loss came about more than the loss itself."
HULL will monitor the fitness of Daniel Holdsworth during the week with the stand-off expected to have more tests before being given the all-clear to play at Widnes.

A Bigger E.U. Research Budget? Don't Count On It Yet
22 June 2012 12:45 pm
BRUSSELS—European researchers should be cautious about their hopes for a big budget boost under Horizon 2020, several observers told a meeting here yesterday. Financial constraints among E.U. member states could shrink the proposed €80 billion budget to €60 billion or even less, Christopher Hull, secretary general of the European Association of Research and Technology Organisations, told the audience at Horizon 2020 and the Future of European Research. Starting in 2014, Horizon 2020 will be the European Union's main research funding program, awarding grants to university-based and industrial research in engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
Even the European Commission's €80 billion proposal isn't quite the 40% increase it might seem at first glance, Hull noted. Framework Programme 7 (FP7), the current funding program that started in 2006, had a total budget of about €57 billion, but its yearly outlays increased from just over €5 billion in 2006 to a slated €10 billion this year and next. That means that a flat E.U. research budget for the next 7 years would require at least €70 billion for Horizon 2020, Hull said.
The European Parliament is currently debating the commission's proposals for the program, which were unveiled in November. The Parliament is on record as supporting a €100 billion budget for Horizon 2020, but the final sum will be decided by the finance ministers of all 27 E.U. member states as part of their E.U.-wide budget deliberations. Their official position has been that Horizon 2020 should receive as much as FP7: roughly €57 billion. Given the dire fiscal situation of many European governments, "some voices say we'll be damn lucky to get 60 billion," Hull told the conference. "The budget is the crucial decision," agreed Patrick Bressler, head of the Brussels office of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, a German funder of applied research.
Final details of the program's funding rules and priorities will be hashed out in negotiations starting early next year between the commission, the Parliament, and the European Council (comprised of representatives from member state governments). Final approval of the program is expected at the end of 2013, and it is slated to start on 1 January 2014.

After a couple month's of planning, the day is here! This bike trip was Vicki Cramer's idea. I've thought about biking over a few days, so I said it sounded great. Did my research, bought a book, we decided that it was worth the money to stay in lodgings rather than camp-our load would be lighter. Sue Butler, who works with Vicki, is an avid biker …

Mom and I arrived home at 3 am, after enjoying a ride through tunnels on the turn pike, a glowing star in the night and a ridiculously slow driver.
Even though my trip north was only a week, I was home again, finally, after two months of travels. My plants rejoiced and I was happy to be home.
Home, Just to leave again.
I arrived home, just in time to leave. But fortunately I had the opportunity to see some beautiful plants and an amazing sunset before my departure north.
Took an adventure out to swallow falls and had a hard cider at Mountain State while a dark blue cloud hung over the deep green mountains and the sun peaked through the edge of the clouds and the trough of the mountains painting the whole world pink.
My mom arrived late in the evening, just as I was going to bed.
Last stop, where we first met...
... Fairfield Inn.
Dinner was fun and tasty at "The Crabby Pig", the local barbeque joint. In addition to Wyatt, Autumn, and Miss Emma having dinner with us, we also invited Deena's close friend Tab (Tabatha) to join us. It was very enjoyable, and lots of fun to be able to share and talk about many of the pictures we captured along the way.
We both knew that this would be our last night away from home, as our journey was winding down...
Motel, restaurant, campground, ice cream stand and parking.. Stayed one night and parked our van here for five days while we biked the GAP. Mr. Sailer is friendly and provided great customer service. The three of us had broasted chicken dinners and a good (choice of 4) breakfast was included in the room fee.
Our room was pine timber bunk beds and was clean and nicely decorated! This motel is only approx. 10 years old and get alot of business from the bike trail.
I would definitely recommend this lodging and restaurant!This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
