Leandro Barbosa had a really good run in the 2000′s, captaining the Black Pearl, slashing to the basket with some great drives – just like the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was all-around fun to watch in his prime. After a decline in Leandro's play, he was shipped to Toronto for some turkey named Hedo Turkoglu. Barbosa averaged nearly 13 Pts a game north of the border in two seasons, but then he was constantly asea with stints with the Pacers and Celtics before tearing his ACL in February last year. And man, did that injury make him look attractive to the Wizards, who traded for him in a salary move. Never playing for the Wizards and not getting any deals in the offseason, Barbosa looked stranded on the Isla de Muerta. But some rum runners and/or braiding human hair from his back to lash together sea turtles got him back to civilization and re-signed by his former Suns a week ago. After three meh games, Barbosa broke out with a 21/3/2 game last night. Commodore Barbosa! Bootstraps' bootstraps! He stayed on the court just over 30 minutes, and was infinitely better scoring the ball than Gerald Green, who shot 2-16. Labradoodle alert! No need to Geoffrey Rush to the wire in 10-teamers or 12-teamers, unless you've got a banged up squad in 12-team and only need points. He's a little interesting in deeper leagues though. Mainly because he'll get minutes, get shots, and will breakout on cold Green nights. Here's what else I saw last night across the Caribbean:Please, blog, may I have some more?

You know, Raymond Felton broke his hand last year, and this is no joke, less than two weeks after Twinkies were officially discontinued. I imagine him hearing the news after a Knicks loss, and punching the glass out at a NYC convenience store. "How will I ever carboload before rolling onto the court!" Then Twinkies, after being bought out and licensed, again appeared on store shelves in July 2013. And ohhhh boy, was it an offseason to remember for Roly Poly Felton! Even though he's always looked like a big boy, concerns about his weight surfaced yet again, and this year his stats were down before a myriad of injuries took their toll. This past groin injury, where Felton reportedly heard a "pop", finally got him to listen to the advice of the trainers. "When my little guy down there told me something was wrong, I finally listened." Knicks head athletic trainer Roger Hinds had to think on the fly, eventually settling on a 12-grain/cashew cream vegan Twinkie-substitute. Instead of the 15-17 off-the-shelf Twinkies comprising the majority of Felton's daily diet, he was down to 12-14 "healthy-makers" (as he called them) while rehabbing his groin injury. "The first three or four were kinda funky, but then you get that urge for more-and-more just like the old ones." After losing 34 pounds in 72 hours, Felton was ready to rejoin the team in practice. "I felt great out there, mobile, my arms stopped running into my love handles when I was drivin' to the hoop." Another 42 pounds came off in the next week, and he was ready to play last night. And man, did those 76 lost pounds come in handy! 13/5/14/1/0 against the Heat in a surprise win. I caught up with him after the game: "No J.R. Smiff in the game helped me keep the rock and everything runnin' through me. He can untie e'rybody's shoelaces all I care!" Back to reality, I did watch this game, and the bulk of those assists came on dishes to Carmelo Anthony burying jumpers, so the assist total is obviously a big outlier. But Felton did look good. Made good moves, looked agile, and more importantly, made the Knicks look better while playing 39 minutes. We can have fun all we want, but I think I was wrong to be a little dismissive on him returning. I like him right now over D.J. Augustin and Kendall Marshall for example. More staying power, and while the most injury prone of the bunch, I think helps you more in the long-haul. Must-own in 12-teamers, depends on need and depth in 10ers. Here's what else I saw last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Yea yea I know… Of all the "Knight" puns, that's the best ya got?! Man did Brandon Knight have a huge game last night, notching a career-high 36 points for a 36/9/3/0/1 line shooting 13-25 and 6-12 from deep. As you all know, I was a huge Knight fan heading into the year, stuck with him, and think this is what he averages here on out. Wiggity what?! Haha, just kidding to see if you were paying attention. I've always liked his ability to board, he's probably the best pure scorer on that team, and can shoot treys and drive. But I'm a little tired of the "but he doesn't assist!" from the hate Mafia. Who gives a flip man?! Of course because he's a PG, he gets dogged for bad Ast:TO, and listen I get it – 8 TOs last night bums hard – but if Ryan Anderson had that line last night, people would be sacrificing live chickens just to meet him. Pedro Cerrano doesn't like when his PG doesn't dish! "If Brandon Knight doesn't average 8 dimes a game, I say forget you Jobu! I do it myself!" Knight will never be an elite fantasy PG, sure, but a very useful one, definitely. He just has to navigate Larry Drew's mood swings. Get the coach some Midol!

Ahhhh weed jokes. The Pacific Northwest. Their team is the Blazers. Rasheed Wallace used to play for them! But I don't think Oregon has legalized it yet. What's the world like in Colorado and Washington these days? Something like Amsterdam? Although, even though I went there, I hardly remember it. If you have Damian Lillard though, you're surely remembering the night he put up last night! 11-23 shooting, 8-12 3PTM for 36 points, a surprising 8 boards, and a dimebag right on the nose with 10 assists. Plus a game-winner! The near triple-double moves Lillard to 10th overall in Total Value according to Basketball Monster, and a true American Hero! And by that, I mean my 19 overall rank of him got flack more than a few times through the rankings iterations, and looking peachy keen now. He's lowered his TOs almost a full turnover a game since his rookie year, upped the 3PT% and my favorite – is becoming an elite FT% guy going 5.2-5.6 a night at 91.8% for the season. Getting to the line and making em, pretty much the antithesis of Andre Drummond! Hey o! Oh wait, I mean, I'm jinxing Drummond, he's the bast center in the world and will all the sudden shoot 95% from the stripe once he adopts the Barry granny shot… Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Pretty much anyone involved in the big Rudy Gay trade has gotten nothing but positive return except Greivis Vasquez. Poor Vasquez… And easily the biggest winner right now is Isaiah Thomas just going off with the backcourt to himself, going 29/6/2 on Friday night and 19/2/8 last night. With both PGs there in Shaq-ramento to start the year, it was like the first Terminator, then IT2 got flipped into the main good guy and it's movie magic in the sequel. Coach Mike Malone even came out and said Thomas is gonna lead the NBA in minutes. Iron man! Well I guess it would be hyperalloy combat chassis covered by living human tissue man… I wish Vasquez had never gone to Sacramento, because as I mentioned last week, I aggressively ranked Thomas early in the summer. I love this kid. He's going to be extremely tough to go out and trade for right now, and I certainly would not be selling. He's got both Gay and DeMarcus Cousins to dish to, plus he's a fantastic scorer. I have all sorts of IT2 regret now since he's not on any of my teams… Womp womp… Here's what else went down over the weekend:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I hate you Larry Drew. First you go and make your son Larry Drew II feel like he's some sort of special talent and have him quit UNC, then you take over a Bucks team that all want to leave too. Why do I have so much invested in the Bucks?! I hate the Bucks! In a game where the Spurs doubled Milwaukee's points in the first quarter (32 to 16), then went up by 23 at halftime, then after 3 were up 38, Drew decided to kill fantasy teams by playing their F-team virtually the whole second half. As in, a D-League team could beat those guys. Brandon Knight got 18 minutes after an impressive game two nights ago. John Henson got 21 after the huge breakout. O.J. Mayo, yes that terrible, horrible, not gelling on this awful team O.J. Mayo led the starters with 22 minutes on a 3/0/0/0/0 line with a TO. Ok, ok, so Drew let his scrubs play in the blowout, good to see Giannis Antetokounmpo get some development time at just over 33 minutes, but the icing on the cake was Drew gave Ersan Ilyasova, a guy that looks like a humanoid Turkey, 39 minutes?! How is that developing young talent?! Ersan goes out and shoots 3-16 for an 8/6/2 game. The Bucks are the worst. You're holding Henson obviously and Knight I think you stick with, but I don't want any of these other guys on a 12-teamer. I know I like Khris Middleton, but he was part of the starting mess and I just dropped Mayo in some sort of RCL travesty I should probably take my name off of. I still think Knight, Mayo, Middleton and Henson are locked in as starters for now, but man, I really hope they look good facing the even worse Bulls again on Friday. Enough ranting from me! Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Now I'm not sure about this, but when Taj Gibson had a couple good games over the Thanksgiving week, I probably recapped and gobble-gobbled at it. My jowls flapped around like Boss Nass bein' all "Hmmpphhherr Rumpity-Doooo, Taj Gibson, rabble rabble rabble!" At least that sounds like me… Now you see what I deal with in my inner monologue! It's like I battle a drunk Kenny Rogers. Which is to say, I battle Kenny Rogers. Gibson has been a scrate-up beast the past four, going 23/8, 18/4, 26/14 5 blks, and 19/6/0/1/1 last night. Bringing big time energy to that front line as the main big off the bench, he's playing insane out there, shooting 67% from the floor in those past 4. I watched the game last night and was impressed with his spark, but then again, the Heat bigs are awful. They got out-rebounded 49-27 last night! Back in the day, I used to love Taj when Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah battled injuries. But now… it took some time and four in a row to buy it. I think it's because the Bulls are my least favorite team. Sorry Bulls fans! Boozer & Noah just yell on virtually every rebound and definitely every single putback attempt. It's unreal! It's like Maria Sharapova is rebounding. And Gibson does it at least 50% of the time. He's becoming the Bulls Sex Panther. "50% of the time he's yelling… every time!" But regardless of how annoying he/the Bulls bigs are to watch/listen to, he's playing like a must-own in all formats. At 33% owned in Yahoo and 24% in ESPN, he's hot while a lot guys are not. I don't think he's going to turn into a set-it and forget-it guy the rest of the year, he doesn't do enough of anything else besides score and board (if not for that 5 block game, he'd be under 1 in Asts, Stls & Blks on the year), but I think he's a ride the wave kinda add right now. Here's what else I saw on the light Thursday slate of games and a few updates for tonight:Please, blog, may I have some more?
My lead yesterday was about a weekend of injuries, and as much as I wanted to stay away from injuries in today's open, there's just way too many. Like that pilot in the Return of the Jedi when they attack the new Death Star. "There's too many of them!" Sorry in advance Jake VZ – but I think the lead is Bradley Beal reportedly aggravating his leg injury and at the time of this post in the wee hours of the morning, the Wizards fear a prolonged absence. Beal hurt the same leg with a broken fibula last year that ended his season prematurely. In both my longer blurb in my top 100 and in my top 200 I tried to say I was worried, and only ended up with him on my autodrafted team. By now, news has hit his little news icon on Yahoo and ESPN, so it's going to be a little tough to sell at full price or even a slight discount if you're hitting the panic button. I'm worried myself. I'm running in with Jodie Foster and a weird, gothy, tween Kristen Stewart into my Panic Room. More precise news should come out today, but if for some reason you were about to cut Martell Webster, hold the phone and keep my boy. I have been told I have too many "boys". But I like Webster a lot! And called him a must add a few weeks back. Trevor Ariza is also back and starting tonight, and the mere fact they're not easing him in off the bench has me thinking his hammy must be doing pretty well. Both Ariza and Webster are looking at big minutes for a stretch, and John Wall will continue to have this big offensive upside he's shown in the past two games. Here's what else went down in the wide world of fantasy hoops last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
We are, brothers and sisters, into our 4th week of fantasy, and things are starting to shake out, no? Stevie Blake continues to produce, and all is right in the world of baskets and balls. Or is it?
I had written a smelly little article last week, another Buy/Sell, and one of you kind readers, Giant Gigantes, asked why my article read like a add/drop, and not buy/sell, as I didn't recommend any players that are playing over their head, ones that the reader should look to move. At first I blew it off, not thinking anything of it. I mean, how would I, or anyone else know this early in the season who is over valued, and who is under performing? The nerve of this cat, right?
But I couldn't leave it alone, because I'm petty, and can't take criticism of any form due to my tenuous opinion of myself. In this case, there was something to what he was saying. Giant was right to expect me to make some wild assertions, if for no other reason than to spark some discussion amongst you guys. I needed to go deeper, do some serious introspection about what motivates me, who I am, and who I want to be as a hack sports advice guy. But only after a healthy dose of porn. Don't judge my methods, that's how I reach my spirit guide.Please, blog, may I have some more?
All hail Trey Burke! May all the inhabitants of the great Salt Lake City and all their respective wives rejoice! And… the Jazz are still atrocious. Poor Tyrone Corbin. He's got to fiddle with Burke, Alec Burks, John Lucas III and now Diante Garrett at the point. Jerry Sloan got John Stockton. Then Deron Williams. It just ain't fair! In yet another Jazz loss moving them down to 1-12, Burke got 12 minutes even, going 11/1/1 with a steal and hitting a trey shooting 5-8. Trey with the trey! If only Deuce McAllister was an NBA player. Deuce with the deuce! Or if McAllister was a dunker, "Deuce with the upper decker!" I had the unfortunate pleasure of doing highlights for my second Jazz game now, but it was cool to see Burke's debut and I thought he looked pretty good. His first NBA points were off a long rebound then coast-to-coast for a controlled, attacking floater. Obviously he's getting eased in and he'll get more minutes – hippity-skippity to a few months back and I was bigger on Burke than anyone – but I'm not ready to go nuts and drop quality guys for him. Of course it's a case-by-case scenario, but I really wanted Burke to get tons of preseason work; instead he broke his finger and missed some really crucial development time. For example, I think I'm still holding Patrick Beverley over him. PBev is the Razzball "why can't I quit you?!" fantasy asset. Lucas III is obviously not a long-term solution, and while he's in the mix, he didn't look good last night but was the only guy that could hit any long balls. Alec Burks looked awful, sure his line 8/1/1/1/2 is fine, shot 3-6 – fine – but racked up 4 TOs in 16 minutes. Just looked bad. Which brings me to Diante G, who I thought looked really good. Garrett actually led the Jazz in PG minutes with 20, and racked up a 4/1/6 line with three steals and only 2 TOs (one late one was pretty bad, but the game was over) and played down the stretch. Garrett was the only point who could create opportunities. So it's a little crowded with Burks' potential wilting away and Garrett looking decent as a D-League gamble and could get run through the season. I think Lucas III gets cut at some point and Burks plays strictly backup 2 minutes, but that's just me. It's a mess. Shocker, considering it's the Jazz!

Posh: No More Kids for a Year or So
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 45 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Despite all of the rumors that Victoria wants a daughter as soon as possible, she says her three sons are hard work. I bet three boys are a handful and Posh is still very young so she can always keep trying for a girl in the future. Here's more
Victoria, 32, said: "I would love to have more children — maybe not for a year or so because I'm enjoying the three I've got. And it's hard work."
She told US Harper's Bazaar magazine that she and hubby David have their hands full with sons Brooklyn, seven, Romeo, four, and Cruz, one.

MustHaveGoss, I'm glad you said it! The moment I read this article, I thought that, most likely, Victoria can't have children. Thin as she is, she probably isn't menstruating. I'm only about five pounds underweight - obese by Hollywood standards - and I went through hell last year, on all kinds of drugs, to try and start my period again. I hate to preach on gossip boards, but the equation that very thin = very beautiful is so destructive, both to ourselves and the other women we love. And as consumers, we're the only ones who can stop the madness that has become our beauty culture, first and foremost by rejecting (even if its just for ourselves) the idea that stars like Victoria, Ashlee Simpson, and Paris Hilton's thinness makes them attractive. To really stand tall is to refuse to buy the destructive ideas that the media sells! Next time I'll be catty or fluffy, I promise. But this post really hits home.

I'm not going to bash her physical attributes - bc even she has said that she knows shes not pretty, she just made the most of what she has. I think that she seems like a very smart, funny, and passionate woman -- she is the type of woman that i'd love as a real-life friend. Everyone has insecurities, but I think her real passion shines in her eyes.

Very true, the smoke & fire thing. I really feel sorry for her, I think she has low self esteem & is definately insecure, but she is a stronger than she looks . 2 years ago when 'Rebeccagate' hit, readers of South African 'HEAT' magazine (which is pretty much our only 'tabloid') voted her no. 1 in the annual 'Hot 100' poll thingy, so she does actually have a lot of international fans. (For anyone who's interseted, this yrs no 1 was Johnny Depp :) )

She cant help herself but to hold onto her man like she being threatened. Like shes sending a message out there to all his female fans... stay away from my man. She seems very insecure. Shes a sweet girl. But another rumor about him cheating!.. I wouldn't stick around for that. Where theres smoke.. theres fire.

I luv Victoria! I know the British media (and American) gives her loads of flack, but I think she's a good person who adores her kids & has LOADS of style! As for David, I no longer have any respect for him. Sure, he's hot, but I think he's a jerk. There's been far too many rumours of infedility for it to be all smoke and no fire!

For untold centuries, the Bedouin of the Arabian Peninsula, in their desert tents, have served their honored guests lavish meals featuring roasted lamb with rice. Arab hospitality has not changed over the ages but the cuisine has undergone a remarkable evolution in the last 100 years, making it extremely diverse. This diversity is due, in part, to the thriving petroleum industry which has drawn people�along with their foods and cooking methods�from around the world.
The blending of these culinary worlds has produced something remarkable. In The Arabian Nights Cookbook, author Habeeb Salloum has compiled an amazing array of recipes that celebrate this blending of cultures while still making it compatible with the everyday kitchens of the Western world. From the familiar, Hummus Bi-Tahini, to the unique, Stuffed Lamb, Salloum offers an accessible world of savory tastes and memory provoking aromas.

The Ringing and Buzzing of Tinnitus
Ear Rings
By Rod Moser
Tinnitus -- "ringing in the ears" -- affects an estimated 35 million Americans. But tinnitus isn't just a ringing, it can also be heard as a buzzing, roaring, hissing, clicking, high-pitched whining, low-pitched hum, even a heart-like pulsing.
Tinnitus is actually a symptom of some common medical problems, such as:
Tinnitus may also be a symptom of more serious illnesses such as high blood pressure, anxiety/depression, diabetes, thyroid disorders, Meniere's disease, blood vessel disorders, or tumors.
There are two types of tinnitus:
Finding a cause for tinnitus can be simple or require extensive diagnostic tests. In many cases, a cause is never found -- a frustrating fact for many tinnitus sufferers and their medical providers.
If a cause is determined, then treatment can be quite focused. For example, if a tinnitus sufferer is taking aspirin and is found to have high blood pressure, the aspirin is stopped and medications are given to control the blood pressure.
Even if a specific cause is never found, there is still hope for successful treatment. A combination of therapies over time usually offer the best hope.
Certain lifestyle changes are very important for those that have tinnitus.
Take an active role in your care, keeping up with the latest research. You may even have to educate your doctor on various treatments. Quieting the ringing will require a lifelong commitment to lifestyle changes, cooperative medical care, and most importantly, a positive and optimistic attitude.
Tinnitus prevention can include obvious things such as limiting exposure to loud noises, but vitamins and exercise may help, too. Exercising regularly may help by improving blood flow to ear structures, while B-12 can help the body make the material that protects the inner ear's nerves. Good B-12 sources include dairy products, meat, and eggs.
Almost everyone experiences an occasional ringing (or roaring, hissing, buzzing, or tinkling) in their ears; most tinnitus that comes and goes requires no medical treatment. But if your tinnitus is accompanied by other symptoms, becomes persistent, or starts to localize to one ear, visit a health professional.
Rod Moser, PA-C, PhD, is a primary care physician assistant with over 30 years of clinical experience in adult and pediatric health. He is the author of Ears: An Owner's Manual and Primary Care for Physician Assistants.

Angels 8, Red Sox 3: Garrett Richards was lost to injury in the second inning but visiting Los Angeles rallied to take its third straight from Boston.Richards, who leads the team in ERA, WHIP, strikeouts, WAR and batting-average against, and is tied for the team lead with 13 wins, went down with two outs in the second inning due to a left knee patellar injury. Cory Rasmus (3-1) picked up the win in relief and Josh Hamilton drove in three runs for the Angels, who have won seven of eight and are 1 1/2 games up on the Oakland Athletics in the American League West.David Ortiz hit his 30th home run among four hits for the Red Sox, who will try to avoid a four-game sweep in the series finale on Thursday. Clay Buchholz (5-8) cruised through the first three innings before running into trouble and was charged with six runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings.Richards allowed a run in the first on Yoenis Cespedes' sacrifice fly and another in the second on David Ross' single that left runners at first and second with one out. Brock Holt followed with a grounder to first and Richards raced to cover on the potential 3-6-1 double play but got caught up as he approached the bag and had his knees buckle under before staying down for nearly 10 minutes and getting carted off.Ortiz's blast to the back wall of the bullpen in right-center made it 3-0 but the Angels got on the board on Howie Kendrick's RBI single in the fourth and batted around in the fifth. Kole Calhoun drew a bases-loaded walk to push across the first run and Trout floated a pop up to shallow right that dropped in for an RBI fielder's choice before Pujols singled in the go-ahead run, Hamilton hit a sacrifice fly to center and Kendrick capped the rally with an RBI single.GAME NOTEBOOK: Richards was attended to by trainers on the field and all eight Angels players on the field gathered around in concern. He will undergo further examination to determine the extent of the injury. … Ortiz now has eight 30-homer seasons with Boston, tying Ted Williams for the most in team history. … The Red Sox activated Ross (foot) from the 15-day DL and recalled OF Alex Hassan while optioning C Dan Butler and RHP Steven Wright to Triple-A Pawtucket.

Steve Masri is a busy man. If you followed him around for a day, you might find the chef and owner of Olive Bistro hand picking fresh salad greens and high-quality olive oil, lamb, and imported tahini to incorporate into his Old-World family recipes. Masri?who, according to a 2010 review by Meridith Ford Goldman of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, was born in Sardinia and raised in Israel?works hard to honor his heritage with dishes such as from-scratch hummus and fragrant rosemary chicken. But he also adds his own signature twists, including the daily ravioli special and a tomato-basil sauce that replaces traditional marinara in his moussaka and lasagna.
And Masri's dedication has paid off. His pair of intimate bistros were on CBS Atlanta's 2012 list of the Best Mediterranean Cuisine in Atlanta, and Cliff Bostock of Creative Loafing Atlanta was one of several reviewers to recommend the falafel, saying that it has "no equal in the city." The Midtown location earned three Best of Citysearch awards in 2008 for its salads, sandwiches, and small plates. The bistros' outdoor patios make ideal spots to chat with friends over shared meze and a bottle of wine, or construct a replica of the Parthenon out of sliced eggplant.

Training park rangers and managers rarely leads to a gig as a restaurateur. But, according to the Athens Banner-Herald, Jim Waters drew on his experiences heading park concession stands to open Mama Sid's Pizza in 1983 with his wife, Sidney Anne. Now run by their son, Shaun, Mama Sid's still relies on the same pizza recipe. Dough spinners crown pizzas with more than 20 toppings, such as bacon and banana peppers. Along with crafting customizable slices for its pizza buffet, Mama Sid's team creates its own specialties, such as a marinated chicken pie with garlic butter instead of pizza sauce. The BYOB eatery has expanded over the years to include other pizzeria favorites, from ricotta-stuffed calzones to wings by the pound doused in housemade hot sauce.

Where to See Giant Gingerbread Houses In San Francisco
By: Wendy Steiner
This story is brought to you by the great people over at the Bold Italic. The Bold Italic is an online magazine, shop, and events hub in San Francisco. We celebrate the free-wheeling spirit of the city.
Ok people, it's officially the holidays. That means it's time to crank up the festivities. Three San Francisco hotels are doing their part to add to the magic by housing giant gingerbread and sugar buildings in their lobbies. Consider this your guide to San Francisco's edible architecture.
1. Two-story Gingerbread House at the Fairmont
This gingerbread house is 22 feet high and 23 feet wide and was constructed using over a ton of royal icing and candy pieces.
2. Sugar Castle at the Westin St. Francis Hotel at Union Square
Come see what Executive Pastry Chef Jean-Francois Houdré and his team of eight started in June. This year's castle is 12 feet high and was constructed using more than 1200 pounds of sugar and flour. The castle is on display now through January 3.
3. The Palace Hotel Gingerbread House
Check out the Palace's 400 pound gingerbread chateau. The sugary structure is 8 feet by 16 feet and also includes a chocolate pond. The multi-room house is on display now through December 30 and is part of a campaign to raise funds for the San Francisco Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children program.

Farage: 'We have to look beyond unemployment benefits'
Nigel Farage has told ITV News there is a wider issue of benefits for EU workers in Britain that must be addressed.
The Ukip leader was responding to the Polish prime minister who criticised David Cameron for singling out his country over the issue of child benefit payments to children of EU migrants.
Mr Farage said that in-work benefits such as child benefit need to be taken in to account not just unemployment benefits.
He said: "Everybody weighs up the work the Poles do, the tax they pay against those that are claiming unemployment benefits. The hidden part of this debate in in-work benefits."

The ice-cream-for-breakfast principle
Finding a balance between delayed and immediate rewards
As a young child, one of the main principles I learned was to always save dessert for last. This began as a sort of mandate from my mom to ensure I did not skip over my vegetables in anticipation of the delicious chocolate to come. But as I grew old enough to decide the order of my meals for myself, this process stuck with me. After all, it is just so much better to be left with a sweet aftertaste in your mouth.
I hold this principle to be true in many areas of life. You can't skip over the pains and joys of everyday life to move straight to the excitement. You have to appreciate the journey you take to get to the finished product, because in the end, the result tastes so much sweeter knowing you worked toward it.
At the same time, there are certain times when it is important to seize the dessert while you have it. Ice cream can melt. Warm, soft cookies can cool down and harden. Sometimes, if you wait too long to appreciate what is right in front of you, an opportunity can slip away, and you will never quite be able to recreate it. You can wait for a while and try to act at the last moment before the ice cream begins to drip, but you will most likely end up wishing you had eaten it a minute earlier.
It can be difficult to find the balance between these two conflicting paradigms. As college students, we frequently have to weigh how our decisions will affect us in both the short and long term. We are at the prime of our youth, surrounded by exciting opportunities on a daily basis — yet by the save-dessert-for-last principle, the logic would be to spend all of our time studying and building our résumés, because that would pay off in the end.
My question is this: at what point do we decide to give in to our desire to enjoy ourselves in the present moment? After all, we are only here for four years, and, like ice cream that is melting away, our time is ticking.
I am not a reckless person by any means, and I am not advocating for the abandonment of all hard work and planning. But during the recent CAValanche, I joined many others in sledding down the steps of the Rotunda on cookie sheets, observing vicious snowball fights in Mad Bowl and watching movies on my couch. What I didn't do during those snow days is study for my economics test or perfect my media studies paper, which was due when classes resumed. While I felt a twinge of remorse when once again confronted with the piles of work I avoided, I wouldn't change the way I filled those days.
Maybe sometimes it is okay to have dessert first. After all — there is a National Ice Cream for Breakfast day. Maybe we all need an occasional reminder it can sometimes be important to seize opportunities before they melt away.
During our time as college students, we need to take advantage of fleeting opportunities while maintaining the promise of future ones. Though I believe the satisfaction we will receive upon graduating from Mr. Jefferson's University will be sweeter than any piece of Dove chocolate, I also believe the opportunities we are presented with before we reach that moment cannot be overlooked. So carpe diem — and more importantly, don't let the ice cream melt.

Australian Open Day 12 Open Thread -- Semifinal between Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Australian Open Day 10 Open Thread - Venus & Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Nikolay Davydenko, Novak Djokovic
Giving a new meaning to off-court training (I kill me), Fernando Verdasco and Jo-Wilfried do a photo op aboard a high-speed magnetic levitation train in Shanghai, to achieve the "fastest game of tennis ever played." The train can go up to 500 km/h, which means it could get from New York to Washington in less than an hour, something which I'm sure greatly intrigues Elliot Spitzer. I understand that turning down an opportunity to be photographed would make Fernando Verdasco physically ill, but what is Tsonga doing there? He just came off playing five matches on his way to winning the title in Tokyo, and now he has to use his rest time before playing another big tournament to do this? Questionable.
In a completely lopsided, dull final, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga knocked off Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 6-3 to win the Rakuten Japan Open Tennis Championships in Tokyo. Tsonga is peaking when he needs to be,...

The intuitions, insights, and growing pains of a medical student. Dedicated to the patient patients who try not to wince along the way.
Saturday, August 28, 2010
Letter to a Young Doctor
During the last hour, we were asked to write a letter to our 2014 selves reflecting on what characteristics and attitudes we want to retain, as second-week students, over the next four years.
Dear Me,
I hope you're healthy. I hope you're well. I can barely imagine the changes you will undergo, the people who will change your life, the experiences that will leave their indelible imprint. As I think of what the next 48 months will bring, questions flood my mind. Do you still cry at the drop of a hat? Did you keep your sense of poetry? Of imagination? Of empathy? Does the idea of taking care of a human being still terrify you? Are your arteries clogged with four years' worth of frozen dinners? (Please learn to cook! And find time to zumba!) But most of all, are you happy with the path you've chosen and with what lies ahead?
Today I sit and think I know myself well. I am a layperson's layperson. I call heart attacks "heart attacks" and not "myocardial infarctions." I have been outside the white coat more than I have been in it, and I still associate with patients. I sometimes mistrust doctors, I don't consider medicine a monolithic profession, and "medical culture" is still foreign to me. I worry that as my classmates and I grow closer through emotionally and mentally demanding experiences, we will become acculturated--part of a profession that has its rewards and excitements, no doubt--but part of a culture that also encourages a divide between provider and patient, healer and healed. I fear that I will succumb to the mantra, "They don't know what we go through, what we see. They don't really understand. They don't get it." I hope I don't see the world as a "they."
I recognize my personality quirks, and I welcome changes in behavior, especially with patients. I am shy and unsure, and I hope I can grow into the role of physician. I don't expect to eliminate unsureness, but I do hope to act within the bounds set by it. I hope growth comes as I learn more about my likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and frankly as I learn what is realistic and what is not. Will I still want to be a hematologist/oncologist or a neurologist/psychiatrist once I work in the fields? What and who will lead me to make my specialty choice--and what will I research, and who will I teach?
I hope I am knowledgeable, and I hope I am responsible. I hope I still sometimes look in the mirror, see my white coat and scrubs, and wonder what I did to earn this incredible privilege. I hope I am still humble, and I hope I am still awestruck. I hope to never have an ego the size of Jupiter. I hope to keep reflecting, and I hope to keep writing. I hope I have dilemmas, because if I don't, I am colorblind. I hope to sometimes be mystified, but not to be paralyzed by indecision. I hope always to keep options for my patients, and to never dismiss one or reach a dead end. I hope I maintain close ties to my old life, and I hope I have the patience to explain to my family and friends what I experience. I hope I act nicely, and I hope I am not faking.
I want to keep the passion and the drive to become the best physician, the best researcher, the best writer, the best teacher, and the best person I can be. I hope I find love, in whatever form it may take. And... I just hope.
I wish you all the best, and I'll see you in four years,
Shara, '10

We were walking for my daughter, Stefanie, who was diagnosed with MS three years ago. We used Vistaprint the first two years and were not satisfied with the quality of the t-shirts or the design quality and they did not offer an orange t-shirt which is the national MS color. When I ordered from you guys, the shirts were perfect!. The quality was very good and the design really popped!! "TEAM STEFANIE" represented in grand style! Everyone loves their shirt so I am now designing shirts for our family reunion. Also, when I had to order more shirts within a few days, I spoke with a rep who was fantastic. He assured me the shirts would arrive on time and gave me every discount that he could so I was super-pleased!

Qualcomm announced it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Omnitracs subsidiary to Vista Equity Partners, a U.S.-based private equity firm.
Omnitracs was a pioneer in in-cab communication, developing the first widely used satellite tracking and communications system for truck fleets, and today offers a variety of fleet management and telematics solutions.
The acquisition will include all of Omnitracs operations in the United States, Canada and Latin America, including Sylectus and FleetRisk Advisors, which were acquired by Omnitracs in 2011.
Vista will purchase Omnitracs for $800 million in cash. The deal is subject to federal anti-trust review and approval. Qualcomm says the acquisition is expected to be completed during the first quarter of its 2014 fiscal year.
Vista chose to acquire Omnitracs because of its strong position, product offerings, loyal and satisfied customers, and its highly talented and devoted employees, said Qualcomm in a statement.
"Leveraging its experience with numerous other vertically oriented software companies, Vista is uniquely qualified to help position Omnitracs for continued growth and will enable the company to strengthen and expand its product offerings."
"We are long-term investors in enterprise software, data and technology-enabled businesses that are committed to being leaders in their fields," said Robert Smith, chief executive officer and founder of Vista Equity Partners, in a statement.
Vista Equity Partners currently invests over $7.1 billion in capital in technology-based organizations.
"Today, the opportunity for fleet management and telematics is evolving rapidly, and we believe Omnitracs is well positioned to continue its leadership position as a stand-alone entity," said Derek Aberle, executive vice president and group president, Qualcomm Inc.
As long as they don't use Fleet Solutions to sell their product i'm good with it.

text: The Ride is an extravagant compilation of fiction and imagination, combined with some real life experiences. It's based on my separation from a woman I dearly loved and my quest to find her again, all woven around a journey on my fictitious Colorado & Western Railroad on "This Train." All of the places, mile posts, and locations are taken directly out of Colorado & Western Timetable No. 4, which gives The Ride a sort of authenticity. Perhaps by reading The Ride it will unleash your own memories of life, whether you want them unleashed or not. The book is for adult reading as children would not understand it, plus there is some strong language in the contents. Therefore the book is "R" rated. There's the conductor; climb aboard "This Train" and take a ride you won't forget.

Served on-tap at the Montana Club in Missoula Montana.
Properly served in a non-chilled glass thank God.
Taste is piney with some malt smoothness following through. A little lacking in the aftertaste. Fell flat.
A nice pleasant IPA. Enjoyable. Just not able to generate any enthusiasm.
A good beer. I could have done a lot worse.

On tap at Rhino's the other day.
The beer pours an orange amber color with pretty good head retention and lacing. Don't get a whole lot on the nose.... just some light orange citrus and some grain aroma. The beer is a bit better on the palate, and seemed fairly well balanced. The flavor profile generally replicates the nose, with some modest hoppy bitterness in the finish. The beer leans to the dry side, though there's still some noticeable malty sweetness as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a fairly long, lightly bitter finish. Alcohol is fairly well integrated into the flavor profile. There's no sense of heat on the finish, and the beer is not heavy or tiring to drink.
A decent IPA, but it's not the sort of beer that had me craving a second glass after I polished off the first.

Poured from a bomber into a Pilsner style sampler. A moderate pour brings forth a one inch head of a snow white color, which proves fairly sticky. The beer itself is a hazy, pale orange-amber with pretty high carbonation which keeps the head alive.
I get plenty of piney and floral notes in the nose and on the palate, but not enough to completely subdue the malt. I think there is a lot of good interplay between the citrus and pine of the hops and a light, buttery, slightly caramelized flavor of malt. At times, a slight bit of an extra fruitiness punctuates the flowers and citrus (raspberries?). A spicy and crisp finish quickly fades into a mellow medicinal and bittersweet aftertaste suggesting orange and maybe angostura bitters. The alcohol is well-integrated. The mouthfeel is tingly and crisp and maybe a little slick.
Big time west coast hop head IPA fanatics may not go for this, but I thought it was a nicely balanced, yet flavorful and refreshing IPA. High marks all around.

Appearance- finger and a half of pungent off-white head that craters after a while, beautiful deep orange amber with swirling carbonation
Smell- big citrus tones of grapefruit and even ripe plum, light maltiness, and toffee
Taste- whole grain breads, sweet pale malts, hop bitterness is middle to finish but beautifully mild and balanced
Mouthfeel- medium bodied, finish isn't super long but has a mellow fade
Overall- Flathead Lake Brewing Co. is starting to become one of my go-to breweries for their simple yet standout style. This IPA isn't a west coaster with the intensity, it's Montana mellow.
