"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)

Topics: Politics News
President Bush failed the country in its hour of greatest need, according to his administration's top anti-terrorism advisor during the crisis. Richard Clarke, who served every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan before resigning last May, has leveled a powerful charge that must be answered with something more than the usual White House smears.
"Frankly, I find it outrageous that the president is running for reelection on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism," Clarke said on "60 Minutes." "He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe he could have done something to stop 9/11."
Clarke's critique of Bush's leadership in a time of crisis is documented in a new book, "Against All Enemies," and will be amplified in testimony before the national commission on the 9/11 attacks.
And just in time, too. Bush's "I am the war president" speeches have made it clear that terrorism will be the central theme in his campaign. This is not surprising, since opinion polls suggest that Americans are unimpressed with the administration except when it comes to its response to 9/11.
Knowing this, the administration has launched a frontal attack on John Kerry's ability to fight the war on terror, which the president again defined on Friday in apocalyptic terms. "There is no neutral ground, no neutral ground in the fight between civilization and terror, because there is no neutral ground between good and evil, freedom and slavery, and life and death," said Bush, implying that anybody who differs with the administration on the best way to fight terrorism is basically in the camp of the "evildoers."
The appalling indifference of the incoming Bush team in 2001 to the clear and present danger presented by Osama bin Laden's organization has been noted before, perhaps most strikingly by former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, who reported that Bush and most of his Cabinet were obsessed with Iraq, not al-Qaida, from the first day of the administration. This, despite the fact that al-Qaida attacked the U.S. destroyer Cole just weeks before Bush's election, killing 17 U.S. sailors. The outgoing Clinton national security team said it pleaded with the incoming Bush team to make al-Qaida its No. 1 security priority.
"We had a terrorist organization that was going after us!" Clarke told CBS' Lesley Stahl. "That should have been the first item on the agenda. And it was pushed back and back and back for months." Clarke was never invited to brief the president before 9/11, even after he says he wrote a memo to National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice "asking for, urgently — underlined urgently — a Cabinet-level meeting to deal with the impending al-Qaida attack. And that urgent memo wasn't acted on."
After more than 3,000 people were killed on 9/11 by 19 hijackers, none of whom were Iraqi, Clarke said, "The president dragged me into a room with a couple of other people, shut the door and said, 'I want you to find whether Iraq did this,'" Clarke told CBS. "Now, he never said, 'Make it up.' But the entire conversation left me in absolutely no doubt that George Bush wanted me to come back with a report that said Iraq did this. I said, 'Mr. President. We've done this before. We have been looking at this. We've looked at it with an open mind. There is no connection.' He came back at me and said, 'Iraq! Saddam! Find out if there's a connection.' And in a very intimidating way. I mean that we should come back with that answer. We wrote a report."
That report, based on all available intelligence evidence and cleared by both the CIA and the FBI, showed no Iraq connection to 9/11. However, Clarke said, "We sent it up to the president and it got bounced by the national security advisor or deputy. It got bounced and sent back, saying, 'Wrong answer … Do it again.'"
If what Clarke says is true, the American people would be wise to bounce this president right out of office come November.

Portugal have given Bosnia a big ask now, as Nani has put them 2-0 up with another cracker of a goal. The winger found space 20 yards from goal, and fired in a superb dipping shot which made short work of Asmir Begovic. We won't say game over just yet, but this is going to be very difficult for Bosnia to come back from.
Both sides have been pressing furiously, but Bosnia haven't been doing so quite as effectively, and to top it all off they've been giving away a lot of fouls (not aided by Portugal taking the opportunity to go down rather easily.) Before the goal, Ronaldo almost scored another, sending in another powerful free-kick, but this time, too close for Begovic, who tipped it over. Bosnia need two goals to qualify, but they've shown no signs that they've got it in them so far.

"Hit .232/.308/.436 in 69 games after being promoted to Cincinnati. I like him and he will do better than that in the long run. Just 22 years old after all." (from John's review of CIN top-20)
I don't have last year's book, so I apologize in advance. But I really haven't gotten a good read on this guy. I saw him play a couple times last year, and he looked lost on defense, but he is supposed to be a good defensive player ("plus arm, quick hands, and middle-infield actions" according to BA). He slugged .436 in his debut after demolishing AAA, which isn't bad at all for his age - even given the ballpark.
Yet, it appears as though nobody really talks about him among the good young players in the game now. BA suggested he'd peak around .280-.300 with 20-25 HR. I'd think with his patience, that would make for a very good ballplayer. Maybe not Marte's peak value, but not far behind either.
I thought I might be the only person who still thought he was good. I was IM-ing with a fellow strat player, and asked whose future he'd rather have - knowing he weighted walks extremely high - EE or Jeff Francoeur (we weren't negotiating a trade). He replied emphatically that he'd rather have Francoeur. I was surprised.
I probably would have just let it go, and figured that maybe I overrated EE, but I looked him up in PECOTA today, and saw that BP has him slated as a ~20% "superstar", starting in 2006, with Chavez, Dw. Evans, and Larry Parrish being the top three comparables.
What do other people think of this guy, especially those of you who've seen him play a lot? Thanks!

Hibernate, and Querying 50k Records. Too Much?
An interesting read, showing that Hibernate can quickly get to its limits when it comes to querying 50k records – a relatively small number of records for a sophisticated database:
Of course, Hibernate can generally deal with such situations, but you have to start tuning Hibernate, digging into its more advanced features. Makes one think whether second-level caching, flushing, evicting, and all that stuff should really be the default behaviour…?
(Note: Opinions expressed in this article and its replies are the opinions of their respective authors and not those of DZone, Inc.)
Barry Smith replied on Mon, 2013/03/11 - 11:39am
Realistically, dealing with large data sets is probably not the best use of Hibernate. Hibernate is great for letting you write business logic with mostly transparent persistence - that's its sweet spot.
Batch processing and ad-hoc querying type operations are best handled closer to the database.
Laabidi Raissi replied on Wed, 2013/03/13 - 1:28pm
I worked in a project where I was extracting data from XML and CSV files and save it in database.
There was multiple kinds of files to deal with, and many table relationships to check on in every operation.
One of the files, had over 400k entries to be saved into DB. When using default Hibernate settings, we got OutOfMemory near 12k entries inserted/updated.
Once we used the batch-size config variable (50) and session.fluch(), we could treat the entire file (400k) in less than 15 minutes.

Agree 100% with Oleksandr, use the right tool for the right job, not all tools are useful in all situations. I've found that anyone who says that using straight JDBC all the time is probably wrong too. Hand coding JDBC calls to perform business object loads and saves is probably going to require a ton of boilerplate copy/paste code where introducing things like caching and auditing becomes an inline "have to remember" type of situation instead of something that doesn't get in the way of the main ideas of the program.
Writing reports or exports, use JDBC and dump it to the output as fast as possible, no Business Objects required. Doing OLTP with business logic, use an ORM solution to abstract away the things that don't matter to the Business Logic (like how/where to retrieve the data).
I've always told my developers, "There's a way we do things, and you should always use the tools that we have decided on, and the techniques we lay out in our policy, UNTIL there's a good reason not to. And there's nothing wrong with having a good reason not to."
My 2 cents

Bypassing layers is bad. They are there for a reason. Yes, batch with ORMs can be slow. The questions that need to be asked are:
How often does this need to happen?
Is it fast enough?
Can you eliminate the batch load?
Remember maintenance is the largest part of what we do. Hand coding the data layer increases this.

Hibernate doesn't really work well with the true extensibility required by reporting modules. Hibernate depends on association mappings and even you use HQL, you can't associate entities that doesn't have hibernate mapping. That was my company's issue with hibernate when have to integrate our system to a reporting tool, so we resort to some other framework that allows to manipulate sql code in a object oriented way without dependency in any association mappings. Take note, it was much faster than hibernate doing the same queries. So lessons learned, there is no silver bullet in all problems, use the right tool for the right job.

At my company we also had the challenge of batch processing and the problems you get with Hibernate when the number of objects in your session grows. We wanted to keep the benefits of Entities but wanted to get rid of (most of) the Hibernate overhead. We found a pretty good solution in the Stateless Session approach. Some code had to be written to facilitate this, we donated it to the community. Our code can be found here:

This is my first post. I thought it would be really helpful if we all politely emailed and asked for Congresswoman Pannell's support back after she apparently changed her mind last night and supported the initiative to put the transfer of parking assets on the ballot in June. Here is the email I sent, and I ask that everyone consider sending her an email. I think that we would all be more comfortable with a 6-3 advantage than a 5-4 advantage that leaves no room for error. The point of this is not to spawn a political debate within Sactown Royalty about certain assertions within my email but rather to do everything within our means to ask for her support. Depending on the kind of response we get from her, there are other social media strategies that we might pursue, but I am convinced she will see the light.
To: email@example.com
Subject: A sincere plea
Body: Dear Councilwoman Pannell -
I am emailing you in the hope that I can respectfully ask that you reconsider your stance on the arena after last night's vote and support the arena efforts in Sacramento.
I know that there are strong arguments voiced by passionate people on both sides of this debate. As someone who grew up in Sacramento during the late 70s and 80s, I was struck during a recent visit home (I now live in Los Angeles) at how worn and run-down my old stomping grounds felt. I know that Sacramento has been devastated by the recession. My senses left no doubt of this. However, in these times, especially as evidence is beginning to mount that the worst of the recession is behind us, I believe that you are being called to be bold. It would be easy and natural to retrench, but can you imagine where our economy would be if President Obama had not had the vision to invest in the United States (look at the dividends the investments in General Motors and Chrysler have affected) when the overwhelming majority of citizens were against the "bail-out."
Surely if the transfer of parking assets had been put to popular vote, citizens would have balked. However, I think this is exactly why the Founding Fathers believed that a republic was a superior form of government to a pure democracy. Your constituents saw in you amazing leadership qualities that would allow you to be bold and wise in large matters affecting your district and the city of Sacramento. Now, I believe, more than ever, your vision and wisdom will result in massive long-term benefits to the city of Sacramento, and especially the downtown area.
I incidentally spent a lot of time in the Bay Area right after the San Jose Arena and Pacific Bell Ballpark were opened. The impact that those arenas had on their localities was simply profound. These initial investments resulted in a compounding return that have ongoing and growing benefits to these areas.
I know you have heard these arguments, so I simply ask that you strongly consider showing the wisdom and vision that will result in a major shot in the arm to the wonderful city of Sacramento.

"Yesterday, Iran launched a two stage solid fuel ballist ic missile with a range of 1,200 miles making U.S. troops, bases, and allies in the Middle East most notably Israel vulnerable to threats, intimidation and influence of Iran and its President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This display of provocation intended to engage the new administration under President-elect Obama follows the similar tactics of the President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev who set a precedent less than a week ago by threatening the deployment of ballistic missiles on its border if the new U.S. administration does not withdrawal from the agreements that would deploy missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic."
"The Iranian ballistic missile proliferation, demonstration and development coupled with their quest for nuclear weapons creates an extremely unstable region that extends beyond the Middle East and into Europe."
"Countries within the region will be forced to react to equalize the status quo and maintain20stability. Their limited options are, to rely upon and request American security, match and deter the ballistic missile inventory of Iran, launch pre-emptive military action, or become nuclear."
"Iran's technical development of two stage and solid fuel boosters with its ballistic missiles extends their range and technology today and in the future to influence, deter and threaten Europe and critical U.S. bases stationed in Europe."
"It is clearly apparent for President-elect Obama and his new administration to have flexibility, tools and options to deal with Iran to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East."
The current investment in missile defense capabilities must continue to be developed, tested and deployed from the European third site to the U.S. and regional missile defense assets to ensure security and stability for the Middle East.
"Missile defense will supplement current and future diplomatic and threat reduction efforts as well as give insurance for protection and stability in case of failure of these efforts."

Heidelberg's mayor called a special community meeting Wednesday evening, after the school board and the superintendent suspended over 100 high school students for a December protest over the dismissal of a principal.
Heidelberg Mayor Juan Barnett says Superintendent Gwendolyn Page suspended students for one day Wednesday, but the punishment also includes no extra curricular activities for the rest of the year. Back in December, the students protested the forced resignation of Principal Perry Reed.
"This is done in retaliation to our students because they stood up and they protested the fact that our school district had at lease five to six principles in the last five years and currently we are on our second principle this school year," said Barnett. "I feel like this a disregard for our children. I feel like the school board nor the superintendent has heard any of the cries from our students and I don't think they have heard any cries from our community."
Mayor Barnett says the punishment will prevent several students from becoming Mississippi scholars. Plus, five or six basketball players will be prohibited from state championship play.

Peregrine Pharma: Not Good Enough to Own, Too Risky to Short
I'm not convinced. Let's review a few important "red flags."
1. The control group results seem aberrant. My review of the literature suggests the 5.6 month median OS in the control group is abnormally low. One study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology [Shepherd FA, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2000 May;18(10):2095-103], demonstrated a 7.5 month median OS for second-line NSCLC receiving docetaxel. In this trial, even patients receiving supportive care only had a median OS of 4.6 months, which isn't far from Peregrine's control group results.
A second large, randomized study in the second-line setting, also published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology [Hanna N, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2004 May 1;22(9):1589-97], showed similar results. In this trial, docetaxel was used as the control group against another drug, Eli Lilly's (LLY) Alimta. Patients in the docetaxel arm had a median OS of 7.9 months, slightly less than the 8.3 months for Alimta recipients, but far longer than patients in Peregrine's study.
Yet a third study, this one published in the Lancet [Kim ES, et al. Lancet. 2008 Nov 22;372(9652):1809-18], further confirms that median OS for docetaxel-treated second-line NSCLC patients should exceed six months. In this 1,466-patient Phase III trial, docetaxel treatment produced a median OS of 8.0 months. This study also used docetaxel as the control arm, with AstraZeneca's (AZN) Iressa as the study drug. If there were any investigator bias in either this trial or the study versus Lilly's Alimta, it would likely be against docetaxel. These data should give Peregrine bulls significant pause.Importantly, I did find one second-line NSLC study in which docetaxel recipients had a median OS of 5.7 months, which closely matches the Peregrine results [Fossella FV, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2000 Jun;18(12):2354-62]. I'm not sure what to make of these data, which seem like an outlier when compared to other studies I found. Nonetheless, bulls and bears alike must consider these results alongside my other citations. 2. Wide confidence intervals make the data difficult to interpret. Investigators usually report data as a median value accompanied by a 95% confidence interval (95% CI), which is a measure of data reliability. In both bavituximab arms, the lower confidence interval "band" -- 5.2 months and 6.7 months for the high and low dose groups, respectively -- overlaps with the control group (5.6 months, 95% CI 4.4-8.7 months). Although this observation alone doesn't invalidate the data, especially for a Phase II study, it does weaken the study's conclusions.

Is your home country one of the 'unfriendliest'?
Home sweet home? A report by the World Economic Forum lists the friendly and not-so-friendly countries.
March 19, 2013 3:11 by Muhammad Aldalou
Earlier this month, the World Economic Forum released the findings of a report (Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report) that – among other things – ranks the world's friendliest and unfriendliest countries in one long list. Of course, it doesn't merely focus on that aspect – as it actually delves into each country's tourism infrastructure, safety and human resources – but the "Attitude of the population toward foreign visitors" category stands out as the most interesting, and provocative.
Provocative, you say? Why, yes it is. As with any global report of this scale, the findings are bound to ignite a wave of protests around the world. And when I say world, I mean Twitter. Nobody wants to hear about their country being dubbed 'unfriendly' when they've experienced the extremely heart-warming moments that prove otherwise. But I have a message for all you would-be offended folk out there. Don't take it too seriously. No report can ever keep everyone happy.
After all, regardless of the criteria used to rank these countries – which according to CNN is 'based on the extent to which they are putting in place the factors and policies to make it attractive to develop the travel and tourism sector' – it still remains a highly subjective exercise. On the face of it, a country can appear extremely friendly and hospitable, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Would you believe your neighbours to be warmhearted welcoming people just because they've bothered to have a welcome mat on the front doorstep? Trust me, they're not. And Kipp found that out the hard way the day we had to borrow some salt and a plunger.
For instance, when it comes to hospitality (not customer service, don't kill me!) in the United Arab Emirates, let's face it; the reputation here is pretty darn good. Assuming everything is smooth sailing with hotel bookings, visas and various other reservations, you'll probably have the time of your life.
And yet, the UAE still earned the 15th friendliest country on that list. It just goes to show that this exercise truly is subjective. Yes it focuses on the attitude of the population towards foreign visitors (aka tourists) but considering the population here is predominantly an expatriate one – the results don't make much sense. If they're referring to the general population (including us) then why on earth would most of us display a negative attitude towards visitors – when all we are is nothing more than extended tourists?
Who earned the first place? Iceland.

Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford will seek election to the First Congressional seat vacated earlier this year by now-Senator Tim Scott.
On Tuesday, Sanford confirmed to Raycom SC Bureau Reporter Jody Barr he would make an official announcement Wednesday.
Reports regarding the former governor's interest in the seat first circulated in mid-December.
If Sanford were to be elected, it would be back in the saddle for him, as he already served in the same seat from 1995 to 2001.
One day earlier, Sanford's former wife, Jenny, said she would not be running for the seat, as had been rumored.
Both the former governor and first lady of the state reside in the Charleston area.

I hope the moderators do not consider this terrorist propaganda, I will take a long time to post it
The caption comments, are literally translated with google traductor sorry
A huge theme park for a 'eternal war'. So is this 'Museum of the Resistance' created a few years ago by the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon, about 80 kilometers south of Beirut, and by which, as their guides, have already hundreds of thousands of visitors.
Millions of dollars invested with a clear mission: "To preserve the places you have lived the Mujahideen to give people the opportunity to know the experience of the Islamic resistance against the Israeli enemy since the occupation of Beirut in 1982." Thus, for example, this symbolic tank, the Merkava IV, the war machine the stakes central Israeli, with its barrel tied a knot in defeat.
The toponym Mleeta that names the museum refers to the hill on which the Mujahideen were entrenched Hezbollah during the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon until 2000. Over 60,000 square feet filled with tanks, barricades, fences, mines and bunkers.
The site wants to encourage what Hezbollah called 'resistance Tourism', which not only keep the memory of three decades of struggle, but also 'feed' the "spiritual heritage" of the movement. A place to "deepen the concept of martyrs and explain its importance to preserve the nation and the territory", explains on its website.
Hezbollah was born in 82 to face Israeli forces and has since been a constant presence in the area because of its armed activity, that has made countries like UK, USA, Egypt and, of course, Israel, the qualify as a terrorist organization, and for his work in social and political presence.
From the first withdrawal of the Israelis in 1985, became Mleeta based Hezbollah operations against the Zionist enemy: "He played a special role in the school of faith and jihad. Became disparadero executed thousands of mujahideen thousands of military missions in the occupied area, "explain the guidelines of the enclosure.
Trenches and mannequins acting as fighters try to recreate various scenes of life in Mleeta when he was still the stronghold of Islamists in the battle against Israel.
In the area called 'The walk' is this little cubicle entrenched, in which, according to the guidelines of the museum, was detained Abbas Musawi, a former secretary general of Hezbollah, which "met and prayed, and encouraged, to militants resistance. "
You can still visit the original bunkers in which for years took shelter fighters 'Party of God', as home to this control room.
'The Cave' began as a tiny shelter of a meter which protect the bombing. Over three years, more than a thousand men worked on the construction of the bunker, which eventually turned into a huge tunnel 200 meters long under a dense woodland and in the establishment of the central base of operations for the military Islamist with all kinds of facilities like this kitchen.
The museum not only presented as 'war trophies' Israeli weapons material. It also performs a wide display of weapons of the Islamist militia.
The bikes played a key role. They moved the Mujahideen from a shelter to another, and used to transport material.
Another example of the military capacity of Hezbollah which boasts over entire tour of the Museum of the Resistance.
The engineering unit, specify the explanatory signs, takes care "of placing explosive devices against enemy infantry and vehicles."
'The Abyss' is the nerve center of the museum. It extends over more than 3,000 square meters spread by those Israeli tanks and weapons collected by Hezbollah militants during years of conflict, arranged in a sort of macabre ravaged battlefield.
A grave Israeli Star of David, shares the stage with tanks destroyed in the vastness of 'Abyss'. Throughout the tour, which employs about two hours, the museum celebrates the military might of the guerrillas in the fight against their enemy.
Helmets and boots of Israeli soldiers, huddled in 'The Abyss', in a symbolic reenactment of what Islamic Hezbollah considers a victory over the enemy forces.
Also in indoor facilities abound all kinds of weapons and military equipment used for decades of strife.
Like any reputable museum, this also has its recreation areas, and even with the traditional gift shop where you can buy from cups with the image of the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah, t-shirts and DVDs
this is on Vice magazine's website, as well.
Actually, I think we should have an enemy propaganda forum. "Know your enemy" is a relevant today as it was at any previous time. It would be useful to see and discuss their methods of indoctrination and disinformation. And since it would be confined to a dedicated forum for such things, it would not pollute the rest of the board and not be posted in a context where some might wrongly take it as valid information or something supported by members here.
Doesn't look like a Merkava to me. An M-48 with some badly applied concrete cosmetics maybe?
If Lebanon III erupts, and
If the IAF has spare munitions, and
If by chance this terrorist abomination is blown to smithereens,
I will not shed a tear.
"hey honey, pack up the kids...we're going to Helbollah fun land!!!Yipeeeeeee!"
I suppose its an insight into the mindset of those who built this thing...but really.. what a screwed up place...
There is a clear distinction between what is terrorist propaganda and what is (relatively) unbiased journalism. El Mundo is a legit newspaper, reporting on the theme park. Vice is a good source of investigative or gonzo journalism. I disagree about there being a need to archive terrorist propaganda here. There are very few people here who actually work in intelligence/counterintelligence or psyops on a daily basis. They are the only ones who would benefit from this. Otherwise, the internet being what it is, the forum would be robbed on a daily basis by terrorist supporters looking to see what the latest greatest video is. And yes, the forum mgmt would be implicated.

As police continue to look for leads in the murder of a 16-year-old Greenville girl, members of her community are determined to keep her case front and center in the public's mind.
Alicia Moore disappeared one week ago just a few hundred feet from her home, immediately after she stepped off the school bus.
Now, on the corner of Bourland and Walnut Streets, a memorial created by friends is growing. Stuffed animals, balloons, notes and candles show her family how much Greenville cares.
A McKinney businessman is offering a $15,000 reward to help catch whoever killed Moore and dumped her body in a storage trunk. Construction workers found her body off a rural highway near Wills Point on Tuesday.
Also, donations for a family memorial fund are being accepted at American National Bank, account No. 3100014491.

text: The Raiders kick off the 2011 season on MNF for the third time in five years. As easy as it is to say history does not bode well for the Raiders look at this season with some objectivity. Don't focus on the past and enjoy the game on Monday night. The schedule makers set us up perfectly with a national TV game against a hated rival followed up by the questionable Buffalo Bills leaving 8 games at home and 6 games on the road to finish the season. For all the mockery I've made of many of you on this blog with your constant juvenile fantasy team managing I am a long-suffering Raider fan. Those of you who think otherwise can tongue my sweaty chode. I will watch the game with as much positivity as I have since I was a youngster thinking Oakland had a possible birth in the AFC Championship locked up only to have some evil zebras overturn a fumble call and begin possibly the most needless dynasty in all of sports history, Seriously I could do without seeing Tom Brady and Bill Belichek every five minutes on NFL network or ESPN for the past ten years. With that said don't take any prognostications from the usual pundits seriously. I think I've heard about ten different ones pick GB over NYJ. I'll leave you with this, we at S&B Pride know how good this Raider team can be. The Broncos definitely do as well so again enjoy the game and no matter the outcome teams have started 0- and even 0-2 before making their runs to the Super Bowl.

I am very fortunate enough to go to a college with a nationally ranked dinning program. Not going to lie, the food is pretty darn amazing. Sometimes I don't know what to get for lunch because I am so many options at my disposal. However, there is one meal that is my favorite. Hands down, it never disappoints. Lately, I have been loving salads like no body's business and had a massive craving for the pasta salad that won my heart. Thus, I decided to recreate the salad with the veggies that needed to be consumed before my next grocery store trip.
Faux Fried Chick'n Pasta Salad
In the bowl:
- Ronzoni Garden Delights Pasta
- 1 Tomato
- Romaine Lettuce
- Caesar Dressing
- Quorn Chicken Nuggets
Craving satisfied.
What was your go-to/favorite college meal?

Valuation of environmental impacts of the Rural Development Program - A hedonic model with application of GIS
AbstractThe payments within the Rural Development Programme 2007- 2013 seek to improve the environment and contribute to rural development and economic growth. These policy measures may therefore have visual effects on the rural landscape. To achieve a measure of willingness to pay for these effects, a hedonic pricing approach is applied. The prices for staying at holdings in the "Staying on farms" registry are used to quantify the valuation of these visual effects. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between the price of rental objects and spatial variables constructed in GIS. Riparian strips and animals at the farm are positively valued. Cultivated land, grazing and meadow lands close to the settings are negatively valued. Hence, this study indicate that there is a positive willingness to pay for payments addressing user values in a diversified landscape and a negative willingness to pay for actions leading to a more monotonous landscape, such as payments to extensive grazing systems.

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A fire ripped through the storage shed of an Albany church and members say they are thankful it wasn't any worse.
Flames erupted inside the storage shed of the 7th Day Adventists Church Friday night off 7th avenue.
A good Samaritan saw the fire and ran over to the church to inform the pastor and three others.
Firefighters were able to put out the flames before it caused any damage to the church.
Firefighters say the fire probably started from an electrical short, but the official cause is still under investigation.

With two continuous rotation servos, you can start
making robots. Figure O shows a drawbot made
from two servos, a 9V battery, a small breadboard,
an Adafruit Boarduino (Arduino clone), a Sharpie
marker, and a couple of plastic discs.
The circuit is the same as for the pan-tilt head,
and all the parts can be held together with hot glue.
For wheels, any disc that's 1"– 3" in diameter should
work, such as plastic screw-top lids. To increase traction, wrap the wheel edges with duct tape.
The servos are set up as before. The sketch uses
variables that contain the experimentally determined
zero values to stop the motors. (Your zero values will
be different.) The logic of this sketch runs one motor
in one direction for a period of time, then switches to
the other motor. The result is a Spirograph-like shape
(Figure P).
#include <Servo.h>
Servo servoL;
Servo servoR;
int servoLZero = 83; // experimentally found to stop
L motor
int servoRZero = 91; // experimentally found to stop
R motor
boolean turnleft = false;
void setup() {
servoL.attach( 9);
servoR.attach( 10);
servoL.write(servoLZero); // start out not moving
servoR.write(servoRZero); // start out not moving
void loop() {
turnleft = !turnleft;
if( turnleft ) {
servoL.write( servoLZero - 10 );
servoR.write( servoRZero );
} else {
servoL.write( servoLZero );
servoR.write( servoRZero + 10 );
delay(4000); // turn more one way than the other
NOTE: The Sharpie is a permanent marker, so
be sure to run the drawbot on top of cardboard
or layers of butcher paper, or substitute water-soluble markers.

- Worthy of praiseOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/19/2014We were greeted and seated promptly upon arrival for reservation. Our server was vey informed and recited the specials in vivid detail. He uncorked our wine and gave us a few minutes to make our selections. I thought that the apps arrived in a sort of rushed manner. The soup was not served hot enough and had to be sent back for heating. That was the only glitch and the rest of the meal went smoothly. The presentations were impressive and our choices lived up to descriptions. I would suggest that they work on the pacing since we thought we were in a fast-food restaurant with fine-dining prices in the beginning of the meal. It got better after the app course. We would return because the food was really worth the drive to Cape May.Special Features:
- Great good and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/18/2014Everything was perfect! We had crab terrine for an app, special cream portobello mushroom soup topped with bacon wrapped scallop, voodoo shrimp dinner and a fish special for entrees. Everything was delicious and service was good! We went early and brought a toddler- good timing- doesn't start getting crowded until after 6:30, so we had the outside to ourselves. Only suggestion for improvement are the plastic chairs outside aren't really fitting for the beautiful restaurant atmosphere. Great restaurant experience, will return again next year!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unbelievable food!GerriDined on 8/17/2014My husband has the seafood gumbo and I had the swordfish with a crab champagne sauce.. Both were unbelievably delicious! .But the blackened scallop appetizer was to die for! They were so fresh I think they caught them that day. Not cheap here but definitely well worth it. bit of a wait past our reservation time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect dinnerKarlaLDined on 8/17/2014we have been going to 410 Bank Street for many years and it never disappoints. Try the blackened scallops, and any of the fish dishes. The gumbo is great. They had a special of seared tuna on etouffe that was great!Special Features:
- absolutely loved itreliableDined on 8/17/2014my husband and i were in cape may for a long weekend and had done some research on where to eat. a lot of tempting destinations showed up but i am so glad we landed on 410 bank street. the atmosphere, food and service were absolutely top notch. food was creative, fresh and elegant without being pretentious. i've gone to all of the best restaurants in manhattan and this one ranks right up there among the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CMFoodieDined on 8/17/2014Wonderful meal. But they really do pack you in closely. We felt like our party of 4 was wedged in between 2 other parties.Special Features:
- Trip to Cape MayOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/16/2014Came down to Cape May for the evening. Got a last minute reservation and was very glad we did. Food was excellent. Plan on returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A perfect mealcarsonreviewDined on 8/15/2014My fiancé and I recently dined at 410 Bank Street and would definitely come back! We were celebrating our anniversary that night and the ambiance was so romantic it was the perfect setting. He ordered the lamb chops which came with an amazingly good sauce. I had the seabass and would recommend highly! A the seabass was cooked to perfection and came with a delicious side of peppers and onion hash. We had a very knowledgable and friendly waitress as well. We love this place!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just average this timeOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/15/2014Very consistent. Beautiful setting, and very good service. We found the blackened scallops were too spicy have been better in the past. The food is rich and filling. We thought the rice was mushy. This was always a favorite for us but this visit it was just average.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special but not quietBigAlDined on 8/14/2014We go every summer and food remains excellent. Very noisy in some rooms. Also the reservation times seem to be a guideline and we usually wait outside about 15 minutes. The wait time for entrees was also very long had sense kitchen could not keep upSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- chrisDined on 8/14/2014410 Bank is a fabulous find! The food and service were both amazing! Can't wait to visit Cape May again.Special Features:
- Do Not GoOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/14/2014Possibly the worst meal we have had in 10 years. First, they made us wait over 20 minutes for a 7:15 reservation. Food took forever, we could not understand the waiter. Food arrived, 2 of the 4 meals were uncooked. Restaurant never apologized. Never tried to correct anything. Please stay away, the place is awful.
- loud and rushedOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/14/2014Very, very expensive, given how loud it was and how rushed everything was. Wham bam thank you ma'am and back out on the street with the wine half finished and a tab for $165 for 2 people. Also I think the food is trying too hard. Everything was tasty, in keeping with Cape May's high standards, but the whole experience lacked elegance.Special Features:
- Great as AlwaysBonnieDined on 8/14/2014This restaurant is one of a kind and never fails to impress. The service was a little slow this time but overall the place is great especially those scallops.Special Features:
- Amazing food and service!kt29nyDined on 8/14/2014This was our first time going and we had a wonderful time after a large group with kids left. The food was amazing and so was the waiter. The only thing we did not like was that they had a kids birthday party there. This is not the kind of place for that. It was way to loud and the parents were very tipsy and just as loud as the kids. Out waiter was just as ticked off about it as we were. Even though that was the only bad thing we would defently go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/13/2014My favorite restaurant. The Chilean Sea Bass is unique and delicious.Special Features:
- Resting on its laurelssandyVIPDined on 8/12/2014Still cooking everything with heavy sauces and a "side of rice" this former gourmet has missed the culinary ride into the fresh and creative 21st century. Sophisticated foodies will be horrified as they struggle to locate their well prepared fish under 2 inches of chopped tomatoes and garlic and attempt to recall the last time they were offered a single salad dressing choice ...of raspberry vinegarette no less. I think it was 1997. Stale bread, cramped quarters, and old soggy carpet offset by exceptional service just don't justify the prices at this "neighborhood gem" that seems stubbornly locked in the 80s. There are lots of talented new kids literally on the block (no names) that should be a wake up call to 410 Bank.
- Always consistentTere56Dined on 8/11/2014We travel to Cape May for the past 25+ years. Family and friends gather and on a convenient week and we just keep growing. 9 of us chose to have dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. It's always a concern when you recommend a place that people are going to enjoy it as much as you do. Well there was no disappointment as each meal was delicious. Unfortunately for us they sold out of most of their specials that sounded amazing. They also took off their special te escargot that was one of the favs! Our reservation was at 8 so I suggest you ask what they are when you make your reservation and ask to save you one! Reservations are recommended! Best of all it's BYOB! The service is also top notch! Only opened seasonal so don't miss out!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- keelsterDined on 8/11/2014incredible orgasmic food experience. would definitely recommend...Special Features:
- Every bit as delightful as expectedPetite4Dined on 8/11/2014We had read that even with reservations, seating can be delayed, so opted for a 6pm meal on a Monday night and were seated promptly and served expeditiously. Very tasty Cajun-inspired fare -great tuna and avocado cerviche and even better Voodoo shrimp - would certainly return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/11/2014Very good meal although the portions were exceptionally large. We brought half of the food home. The restaurant was very pretty and comfortable.Special Features:
- Not as good as I rememberTouristtrapDined on 8/10/2014After a few years of not coming to Cape May, we were very excited to come back to our favorite restaurant. However we were very disappointed as my prime rib was like a rock, the crawfish bisque lacked flavor and over meal was not up the $80 per person cost. The restaurant is cramped and very tight. Unfortunately another tourist trapSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our FavoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/10/2014410 is a must for us when on the shore in South Jersey. The cajun flare to many dishes never disappoints. The specials are always outstanding. Smoked mako, tuna ceviche, oysters with beef and lobster bisque were exceptional starters. Entrees of blackened rare tuna, scallops with a crab stuffed lobster tail and a salmon special were prepared and served perfectly. Key lime pie and a special bread pudding dessert completed our feast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable Year After YearNamrokDined on 8/10/2014Another amazing dinner. Have gone here year after year and never a bad meal. Always sit on the porch for a very romantic evening. Prices on the high side, but you get what you pay for. Highly Recommend Reservations.Special Features:
- Very Goog But...CapeMayDined on 8/10/2014The food is very good, well prepared and presented. The seating leaves a lot to be desired. We booked a table for two through Open Table and when we arrived were shown to a small corner table barely big enough for one. There were two larger tables for two on either side but we were informed they were specifically reserved. We ended up sitting outside where there was room, but plastic tables and chairs. Blackened Prime Rib at $50 a pop should come with a great deal more ambiance. I accept and understand that a resort restaurant open only for the season will be more expensive than the norm, but 410 Bank Street is really pushing the envelope.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth the Wait, but Wish We Hadn'tCarol1303Dined on 8/10/2014After a decade of vacationing in Cape May, my family & I finally got to experience the dining at 410 Bank Street. This delay was totally our fault. We simply never remembered to make dinner reservations far enough in advance to accommodate our small family group. Trust me, that will never happen again! A phone call to 410 Bank Street to make reservations will be the very next call I make upon booking hotel accommodations for next summer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UshiVIPDined on 8/9/2014Everyone who goes to Cape May will tell you to go to 410 Bank street. The food was delicious. I had the best shrimp dish My husband had the prime rib which was delicious. Can't say anything negative about the restaurant. Will definitely go back.Special Features:
- Not for us410BankStDined on 8/8/2014We had high expectations for this place as it was recommended to us. Unfortunately for me & my husband it did not work out for us. We ordered steaks and they were not to our liking. The food is expensive and therefore should be excellent. We had ordered a bottle of wine with our dinner which we did not finish. We asked for a bag to take the bottle to go and a manager comes back to us with a wrinkly, already-used, paper bag. My husband & I thought, "really?!". We were spending a lot of money here & were not pleased with the quality of food we received. We left with our stomachs filled with not-so-good food and less in money in the wallet. On a positive note, I must say that the Server was very good and friendly.
- Great food and serviceKatsavlisk922Dined on 8/8/2014Awesome experience even with our 7 month old son. They made me an amazing platter because I'm a vegetarian- 6 or 7 small plates. So impressed! My husband had a salmon and crawfish special and loved it too. Will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- it has been betterchriszucDined on 8/8/2014Been coming to Cape May for years and always try a lot of different Restaurants, with 410 being a steady one we come back to often. I have had much better meal there and it did not rank in my top 5 eating places this time around. Yes, they give you a good size portion and the food was good, but not what I expect for the price I paid to eat there for 4 people. I felt this way the last time I ate there as well, and just thought it was an off day for them. Might be the last time I eat there while down in Cape May.Special Features:
- ExquisiteOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/7/2014My wife and I celebrated our tenth anniversary and I had the best meal in years. Everything was well thought through and the flavors we're amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent MealFabMealDined on 8/6/2014My husband and I had a wonderful meal this past week at 410 Bank Street. The service was excellent and the food was beautifully presented when brought to the table. Both our appetizers and entrees were generous portions. We would have stayed for a dessert had we not been seated directly beside a group who had been extremely loud talkers while dining. Overall we would return to 410 Bank Street because of the wonderful food and superb service that we received.Special Features:
- Best waitress everFavspotDined on 8/5/2014Our waitress knew the menu and specials like she had cooked them herself. She was kind, funny, conscientious and polite. She made the night, I wish I could just remember her name! The food is exceptional and the specials very creative. We head there whenever we go to Cape MaySpecial Features:
- 410 Bank StreetfoodiesforsureDined on 8/4/2014I was really looking forward to this meal, but gravely disappointed. I have had oyster stew in many restaurants including New Orleans. The dish they served was far too spicy and overcame the delicate taste of the oysters. We also had a drip from the ceiling air conditioner that dripped on one of our chairs. My main course of scallops was accompanied by a lobster tail which was the size of a cray fish. Although, a beautiful, romantic restaurant, we will not return.Special Features:
- Overrated and Overpriced.foodieDined on 8/4/2014Our waiter was preoccupied. He came to tell specials, but disappeared. We asked another server for bread, which all other tables had. Bringing it, our waiter said, "So you want more bread?" (We wanted some bread. ) Servers brought us multiple waters, none noting we already had it. Two of us ended up with five glasses of water; even my glass of ice was filled before I could protest. There was so much clutter, our waiter remarked, "Big plates, small table." Food-wise, I've had better mashed potatoes from a diner. Not up to par with other fine restaurants in area. Maitre d' is a young man who looks like he reluctantly donned a shirt & tie because someone forced him. Bright, noisey, tables close. Porch & patio available, but why bother?
- Great Dinner at 410 Bank StreetProgessiveRockFan1Dined on 8/4/2014Had not been to 410 Bank Street in a couple of years and we had a great meal. We decided to split an entrée for an appetizer and enjoyed the Cajun Shellfish Gumbo File which I have had a number of times over the years. Then for entrees we had the Florida Keys Red Snapper and the in season John Dury Flounder, both of which were very good. This year we sat in one of the side rooms in front of the house and it was a nice change of pace from the louder main dinning room. Our server was very good. BYOB so enjoy a nice sparkling wine with the seafood or a favorite wine with one of the meat dishes. All in all a great dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!FreddyDined on 8/3/2014Best swordfish I ever ate. The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection with a creamy sauce that was loaded with lump crab meat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slipped a bitTommyDined on 8/3/2014Every time we're in Cape May we make sure to dine at 410 Bank. This time, we all felt it slipped a bit. The tables are really jammed in - that's always the case, but you notice it more after dining at other top tier places that provide a bit more room. Our server didn't mention one of the specials that we overheard from another server. The star of each entree was great (the steak, prime rib) but the sides were bland and hardly even room temperature. Still a top destination, but no longer 5 stars in our group's opinionSpecial Features:
- Not up to previous standardsDukeSilverDined on 8/2/2014After 10 years of visiting 410 on our Cape May visits, this may be our last. Since Chef Chang retired, the kitchen seems not to be able to maintain his high standards. Our reservations were mixed up, food orders weren't kept straight, dishes we have ordered in the past that were great were merely ho-hum this time.
- Overpriced and underwhelming1publicservantDined on 8/2/2014I took my wife out for a special birthday dinner. The appetizers were especially small- 3mjnute pieces of smoked fish swimming in a chunky vinaigrette sauce. And 3 shrimp shumai that tasted good, but looked deformed. Turns out they were $15.95 each!? We were insulted. I got the gumbo file which came with blue claw crab legs inside and no cracker to break them? Why not just use jumbo lump? The dish is $40 anyway? My wife got the red snapper in creole sauce. It was okay. Our server discovered I was a local and a social worker and spent his time sharing inn appropriately with me. I'll never be back.

Today I had a chance to interview Susan Zutautas about her book New In Town. Susan was born in Montreal, Quebec, and currently resides in Southern Ontario, with her husband and sons.
Susan is also a Giant Squid on Squidoo and our "Soups On" Contributor. You can also find her on Facebook at Everything Susan and More.
Squidoo Interview
by Bonnie Diczhazy, Squidoo Head of Community
How did you come up with the story line for New In Town?
I sat down one day and started daydreaming actually. The next day I decided to sit at the computer and type up what I'd been daydreaming about. I started the story with no idea where it was going or how it would end.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I'm not sure that I've yet to find my writing style but I hope that when I do it is my own.
What's your favorite part of New In Town?
My favorite part is when Morag and Kelly go over to Ian's for the first time for dinner.
What are your current projects?
Right now I have book number one, in a series of three children's poetry story books almost ready to publish. All three books have been written, and the first one has been illustrated.
What do you like to do when you're not writing?
Cooking is my second passion next to writing and when I'm not writing you will usually find me in my kitchen creating new recipes.
What book are you reading now?
I'm currently reading Ghost of Lost Eagle by Dean Sault. I don't find as much time as I'd like to, to sit down and read an actual book these days. I'm usually on the computer all day reading or writing myself and by the time I log off at night my eyes are usually ready to call it a day too.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
If it is your dream to write and publish a book then follow your dream. Try and write something every day whether it is a poem, a journal entry, an online article, or a short blog post. Join a website where other people can critique your work. Talk to other authors and maybe join a writer's workshop.
Bonnie Diczhazy, Squidoo's Head of Community will be interviewing up and coming authors for Squidoo's "Authors On Squidoo" Series. If you're an author who'd like to be interviewed please e-mail her at email@example.com. Squidoo royalties from the author series lenses go to the Room to Read charity.

How to Stay on a Budget for Good This Time
- 15 Comments
- By GoBankingRates Staff
- October 12, 2012
Many people equate living on a budget as some type of punishment, but it should really be viewed as a strategy for saving money and gaining financial independence.
When people learn how to budget, they can get the sense of security that being debt free and having a solid savings account will provide them. Staying within a budget will allow you to free up money in order to start building an emergency fund, bank enough for a down payment on a home or even save up for a lavish vacation.
How to Stay on a Budget
There are a few simple steps you can implement to set up a budget that you can follow. The most important thing is that you get an accurate picture of how much money you're saving and spending in comparison to what you earn. Then it's a matter of re-prioritizing where your money is going so that you can meet your goals.
Step One: Establish Your Goals
There is no point in living on a budget if you don't know what you're trying to accomplish. Write down your goal(s), whether it's to build an emergency savings account, pay down debt, save for retirement, etc.
Step 2: Build a Spreadsheet
Next, inventory all of your monthly income sources, like your job and any interest income, as well as all of your expenses. The way you track all of this can be as simple or sophisticated as you want — the point is that you get a clear understanding of your household balance sheet; the method is not important.
Many people choose to do this with a spreadsheet, which is easy to set up and performs the math for you.
There are also a host of online budgeting tools you can use, which will automatically track your bank accounts, credit cards and more, graphing trends and helping you identify problem areas.
Once your budget is complete and you compare your income to expenses, you will find out if you're in the "red" or "black" at the end of the month. These results will guide you in making the appropriate behavior modifications to set yourself on the right track.
Step 3: Cut Expenses Where Necessary
If you are in the red, you know you need to cut some of your expenses and make an effort to pay off any debt. If you are in the black, examine how you can adjust your spending so that more income is allocated to savings goals.
With the overview complete, you may now implement your strategy for staying within budget. To help you remain on track with your plan, try some of these tips:
- Avoid using credit. Leaving your credit cards at home so you do not fall victim to shopping impulses.
- Spend cash only. On payday, take out enough cash to last you until the next paycheck and only use that money.
- Don't go overboard. Being too restrictive with your budget will leave you feeling burnt out. Make small cuts across the board so that you can still enjoy things like dinners out, going to the movies and shopping — just less often.
- Eliminate interest. Transferring credit card debt to a 0% balance transfer card will help you pay down your balance faster. Just be sure to pay off the card before the introductory 0% APR period is over.
- Reward yourself. Find new ways to reward yourself for staying on budget that don't involve spending money.
Staying within budget is one of the greatest stress relievers of all times! When you gain control of your money (not the other way around) will you feel secure and free to do more with your wealth.

The Cavs have much more glaring weaknesses than the 4 position. They have a black hole at SF, have no true center and need better guard play. Hickson is the same type of player as Sullinger and is even more athletic. The bottom line is, JJ deserves the chance to be the future of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Sullinger should be holding up another team's uniform come draft day.Why The Cleveland Cavaliers Should Not Draft Jared Sullinger - SB Nation Cleveland
The odd's are high Jamison will be taking his talent to another team before the trade deadline.Chad Ford IN$IDER
Cavaliers veteran Anthony Parker is the player "most likely to be moved" by Cleveland. Parker has a reasonable, expiring contract and can still provide solid shooting and defense at multiple positions. Don't be surprised to see the woeful Cavs make a few moves in the next month, especially in light of their massive trade exception.Chris Broussard ESPN
"Right now we're losing some of these battles but in the long run we'll hopefully win the war," Cleveland coach Byron Scott said.http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap;_ylt=AigDJ6TZ82ROAG2zz75G2a68vLYF?gid=2011012417
Finally, some good news. Mary Schmitt Boyer of the Plain Dealer is reporting that Joey Graham and Christian Eyenga both practiced on Thursday and could be ready to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday as long as there are no further problems.Graham And Eyenga Might Play Friday For Cavs - the hit list - SB Nation Cleveland
I have covered the NBA in various places since 1981. I've covered good teams and bad teams and expansion teams and championship teams, so I know what I'm talking about here when I say that this Cavs team, right now, is as bad as any of them. It has nothing to do with talent. It has to do with attitude, and these Cavs are feeling sorry for themselves. Hey, it's too bad that LeBron James left and didn't take all of you to South Beach, but the people of Cleveland who remain deserve a better effort than you have been putting out. They got a pretty raw deal, too, you know. This is absolutely pathetic. Byron Scott is right when he says it's got nothing to do with Xs and Os. Antawn Jamison is right when he says nothing has changed in the team's offensive or defensive schemes and that guys have to look themselves in the mirror. The worst part is that Scott said things actually could get worse. He said he wasn't sure if guys had had enough yet. Well, I can tell you from the emails and comments posted on the Plain Dealer stories and blogs, that fans have had enough. It's time to put up, shut up and man up.When will the Cavaliers look in the mirror? Mary Schmitt Boyer's in-game blog | cleveland.com
"In his heart of hearts, he knows that he'll never play for a city like this ever again," Gibson said. "The loyalty they showed, the love they showed. He knows that. He may not say that. I know it."Daniel Gibson get it...
CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Cavaliers have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into a high-powered Midwestern law firm to investigate their suspicions that the Miami Heat broke NBA tampering rules while pursuing LeBron James(notes), and owner Dan Gilbert has privately vowed he won't relent until he has a thick binder of findings to drop on the desk of the NBA commissioner, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.Cavaliers probing Heat's signing of James - NBA - Yahoo! SportsI THOUGHT HE MOVED PAST IT AFTER 24 HOURS!
"My advice to LeBron is to take the high road and act professional," said Belle. "I hope the fans do the same. I don't want them to embarrass themselves on TV.

This pattern is for a turtle inspired by and certainly similar to the lovable explosive in the music video by asdfmovie. Hello!
Although, technically speaking, it is a tortoise.
This is a great pattern for a crocheter who already has a good grasp on the basics. Some sewing knowledge and possibly embroidery can help, but are not required.
The pattern is a five-page PDF file with handy pictures to refer to. It is not a tutorial. If you do not know how to crochet, you will not be able to make this pattern.
All abbreviations and stitches are American-style.
I am a snarky stay-at-home mother with a little more yarn than is strictly necessary. I love to crochet and knit, and my current love in the craft world is amigurumi.

Definition: Trigger finger is a common condition that causes pain and locking of the fingers. Trigger finger occurs when the tendons of the fingers become caught in the sheath in which they run.
Tendons are like ropes that attach to the ends of your fingers. When your muscle contracts, the flexor tendons pull the fingers into a fist. The tendons run part of their course through a sheath called the flexor tendon sheath. When a patient has trigger finger, this mechanism of movement is inhibited. Fortunately, there are effective treatments for a trigger finger.
