I had that conversation again. You know the one: "I'd love to eat more healthy, but it's just so expensive." I certainly don't fault the people who say things like this. In fact, I prefer to think of these declarations as hopeful signs–these folks have at least thought about changing their diet, and that's farther than a lot of people have gotten.
What makes this conversation amusing for me is that it usually happens while I'm eating an absurdly cheap and tasty meal–in this most recent instance, I was enjoying some red beans & rice (courtesy of the Crock Pot… home cooking really doesn't get any easier than that, people!) and some steamed red kale. The entire batch cost less than ten bucks to make and fed the two of us for a week, meaning the portion in front of me cost maybe a dollar, and probably less. Sure, that $7.99 block of raw goat milk cheddar is pricier than Kraft, and the local, organic lamb is a splurge, but all told, I eat pretty cheaply. It helps that I do the vast majority of my shopping in the produce section, and I buy the bare minimum of processed foods (Lara Bars being a notable exception–sometimes the only food I have time for at work has to be the packaged, eat-with-one-hand-while-charting variety).
But that doesn't mean I miss out, or that I subsist on twigs and berries. I suppose if I were accustomed to a steady supply of hyper-seasoned, heavily salted, processed foods, this diet would come as a shock. But the palate, like everything else about the human body, is remarkably adaptable. And once adjusted to the subtle, rich flavors of real food, I guarantee you'll never miss Micky Dee's again.
This afternoon, I unpacked the groceries on the kitchen counter, and stood back to admire the view before I stowed it all. The co-op's produce section makes me giddy in the way other women only feel inside a shoe store, and today's haul showed it: purple-black figs, emerald greens, and blushing apples nestled alongside jewel-like cherry tomatoes, wine-dark beets, pale jade artichokes, and the deceptively neutral tan of a fat butternut squash. A mauve-pink chunk of ham, a jug of local goat's milk, and a few creamy nubs of cheese rounded out the take. To my thinking, we'll be eating like kings for the next few days, and the tab was less than we'd spend on the average dinner-drinks-and-a-movie date night.
Tonight, in preparation for the coming work week, I put on some good music, poured a tasty beverage, and set to cooking. Most of the work is prep, trimming and seeding and chopping. With the windows open and cool air swirling around the hot stove, I indulged (and it really does feel like an indulgence rather than a chore) in some serious–and seriously simple–domestic therapy.
Vegetables shouldn't be toyed with. Most (might I venture all?) of them are terrific just lightly steamed, highlighting their flavor and bringing out their natural colors. The simplest rule of healthy eating that I know is this: make a rainbow on your plate. Just get as many colors in there that you can, and you're doing it right. This photo is partway through my steamfest, while the artichokes and beet greens are still on deck. In my favorite serving bowl, the sunset-orange of the squash plays off the high-summer-green of the broccoli, and the beets, messy kid sister, bleed onto them both. Channel Bob Ross: make a palette on your plate, different every time, and you can't go wrong.
And a word about that squash… Butternut squash orange might just be my favorite color of all.
Did you ever get to lick the beater after your mom put a cake in the oven? I tell you, it's like the prize before the dessert. In our house, licking the beater was a time-honored tradition, complicated by the fact that there were two beaters and three kids (the spoon saved the day as the handy third in the lick equation). Tonight, half of that gorgeous, tangerine-flame-copper-gold butternut got folded into a generous helping of butter, and when I handed a beater off to the Man Friend to lick, he asked if I was baking a cake. A vegetable that tastes like dessert… what's not to love?
And a word about that butter… until I get around to making my own, Kerrygold is my butter of choice. Years ago, I went to Ireland as a WWOOF volunteer. The farm I worked at gave me many firsts: my first dip in the frigid Irish ocean, my first encounter with peat fires, my first in-country Guinness, and my first taste of Irish butter. The last was, without question, the biggest revelation of all. A child of America, a child of progress and the modern way, I'd never tasted such butter. It rocked my world, and still does. When I found it for sale here, all these years later, I think I teared up in the dairy aisle. I may not be able to enjoy it on a thick slice of soft, chewy, warm bread anymore, but it still holds an honored place in my refrigerator.
And so, to return to our original topic, it's hard for me to fathom how this diet seems out of reach for so many people. My plate of gem-hued vegetables fills me like no combo meal ever could. The nub of real butter slowly melting into the sunset-colored flesh of a squash feels decadent; likewise the artisanal cheese, the organic meat, the local fruits. I find that smaller portions of this food fill me up, and the connection I get to the food producers expands my little world in ways that few other things can. When every meal feels like a treat, deprivation is the last thing on my mind. And the price tag for a week's worth of food? Smaller than two trips to Carl's Jr for a family of four. I don't know about you, but I'll take the steaming plate of rainbows over the drive-thru bounty any day.

MLB TAMPA BAY RAYS: Agreed to terms with pitcher Jorge Julio and assigned him to Durham (Int.); released pitcher Chad Orvella.
Anyone besides me find this a little odd. I know Orvella has had some injury issues but he still has pretty good stuff and Jorge Julio is awful. I hope this isn't a precursor to Julio being added to our bullpen. I have a bad feeling this is just another guy that will get a chance before Winston Abreu.

Dragon Jonathan Evans is ready to recover lost momentum
6:50am Thursday 30th August 2012 in Latest Rugby By Chris Kirwan
AFTER frequently being the one cursing his luck on the sidelines, Newport Gwent Dragons scrum-half Jonathan Evans is desperate to grasp an opening provided by someone else's injury misfortune.
The 20-year-old from Bargoed will be on the bench for the region's RaboDirect Pro12 opener against Zebre at Rodney Parade tomorrow evening.
He finds himself as back-up to Wayne Evans after Joe Bedford underwent a summer shoulder operation that means he will miss the first few weeks of the campaign.
Evans burst onto the scene when he made his regional debut against the Ospreys in 2010 – becoming the Dragons' youngest player – but injuries stalled his progress.
A broken wrist meant he was sidelined for the first few months of the following season and last year he pulled his hamstring in pre-season, ruling him out until Christmas. He heads into this term with just 13 regional appearances and three starts to his name.
But for the first time in three seasons Evans is not playing fitness catch-up and is determined to grasp his opportunity.
"It's strange that I'm not the injured one for once but I've got to take my chance," said Evans, who was a member of the Wales Under-20s squad at the summer's Junior World Championship.
"I've been told that this is the season for me by both (director of rugby) Robert Beale and (head coach) Darren Edwards. They've put a lot of faith in me and it's got to be a big year.
"Last season was totally mucked up by my hamstring injury and I was playing catch-up from the start.
"In the end my aim was just to get in that squad for the Junior World Championship but this season it is all about nailing down a place in the Dragons squad.
"Of course I want to be pushing for first choice and to get the start ahead of Wayne but first of all I just want to be involved and to have a full season."
And helping Evans in that bid to earn the number nine jersey is the man whose place on the bench he has taken.
"Joe has been a great help," he said. "He hasn't been able to play a massive part in training so has been looking over what I've been doing and giving me pointers.
"He has been working really hard with me and I appreciate that.
"Darren said that he brought Joe in because of his experience as well as his ability and that shows.
"He knew that Joe could offer plenty of advice to me as a young player and what he has done has definitely helped out with my game."
So if Evans can show a touch of class in a cameo tomorrow night then it may just bring a smile to a fellow number nine suffering from the injury blues that he knows all too well.

Marshfield Clinic is expanding into a new market.
The clinic is moving into Stevens Point.
Leaders said the design will make healthcare easier and more efficient.
The new Marshfield Clinic in Stevens Point may not look like you'd expect.
"This is completely unique to the Marshfield Clinic system," said Jim Petersen, Marshfield Clinic Stevens Point Center Manager.
The clinic's manager said the project has been in the works for about three years.
"We still are having oncology and radiation oncology services located at St. Michael's Hospital, but we wanted to consolidate and grow our services in a building of our own," said Petersen.
Leaders said the new facility cost $19 million. It will be home to about 18 specialists.
"We're right nearby, it's very centralized, really a team concept, so we're all together, working side-by-side," said Dr. Bill Benn, Marshfield Clinic Physician.
Marshfield Clinic leaders said this location is a little bit different. One thing you'll notice, you check yourself into your own exam room.
"The patients are coming in on one side of the exam room, the staff comes in on the other side, so their workstation's here," said Dr. Benn.
Dr. Bill Benn said the new design helps patients get better care, faster.
The clinic has themed halls for different departments.
"I can go from room to room to room because they're about 10 feet apart, and if they have a question for me, I'm right there, so we believe the care will be quicker, less wasted time," said Dr. Benn.
Clinic officials said this design is based on a new concept.
"The focus on the on-stage side is the patient and off-stage side, that's where our staff works behind the scenes with the providers and physicians," said Petersen.
Leaders hope this expansion is just the beginning of their growth. The center opens November 4th.
Officials say Marshfield Clinic employees are training as they get ready for the grand opening.

Hey, hey there my lovelies! I thought I'd quickly share this crazy & recent obsession of mine! It seems to me that every morning when I'm getting ready for work… I'm picking up certain products in general. The other day it all CLICKED! Basically, I seem to be drawn to gorgeous scented make-up!
Although smell is one of the hardest things (ever) to describe, I'll try my best to give you a run down of my top 5 scented make-up bits.
1. Lasting Colour Lip Stick, Collection 2000 (RRP £2.99) – I have two different colours in these & they smell divine! They smell like GUMMY WORMS… It's like having sweets on your lips, you can't really go wrong.
2. Délice de Poudre Bronzing Powder, Bourjois (RRP £6.99) – This is possibly the best matte bronzer out there in drugstores/chemists! Not only does it not break the bank but it also smells like CHOCOLATE! Okay, fair enough it doesn't smell exactly like Lindt or Galaxy, but you can tell it's got some chocolate smelling elements in there
3. Girl Meets Pearl, Benefit (RRP: £24.50) – I've only got a travel size of this so not sure how much it exactly is but this little baby not only acts as a highlighter but it also smells like SHERBET! Do you remember those really long, rainbow sherbet straw things? Exactly that! It makes me want to eat it so bad
4. Bella Bamba, Benefit (RRP: 23.50) – I'm sure you've seen my post on this (… if not click HERE)… But this little blush, full of amazing pink & gold pigments smells like WATERMELON. A very sweet watermelon to be precise. Whenever I put this on, I can always seems to get a whiff of it for the first few hours of the day. I top this up on my cheeks for two reasons… For the 3D pink & the gorgeous smell!
5. Pageant Lip Tar, OCC (RRP: £13 from Filthy Gorgeous but cheapest, £8.59 from GENIE COSMETICS) – I'm sure you've heard be rave on about lip tars in my previous posts (HERE & HERE). Since then my collection has grown. Not only do I absolutely love these tars (even though they can stain), they smell uber MINTY. I quite like having mint on my lips, like Carmex too, it gives me a minty, fresh feeling (excuse the overused phrase, but it's so true!). I'm thinking to do a lip tar post with lots of swatches for you all But will probably do it a little later as I think I've done too many lip stick posts recently
Do you have any LOVELY SMELLING make up I should know about? Not that I need to add to my stash, but I'm just curious as to what else is out there
P.S – I'm totally on a shopping ban this month (& possibly June too!!) – I'm shopped out for the time being… I sure hope I can do it, ha!
Hello, hello there doll faces! How are you all? I hope you're soaking up the sun. Make up brushes are an essential part of my beauty regime (without them, I'd be SUPER lost!). I was kindly sent the Sigma Beauty 'Premium Travel Kit' brush set, in black, to review. Now, I'm not much of a travel kit kinda girl, so I was really interested as to how they'd be! Also, these are blogged about a lot, so I was interested at how I'd find them.
RRP: $59 (approx. £36)
Available from HERE
It comes in a faux (?) leather clutch – it's really smart looking & clearly protects the brushes inside. It's fairly small which means it fits into pretty much all of my handbags. Not that I'd have this in my bag, everywhere I go, LOL! But it's a handy size for sure.
Inside, there is a little zip compartment which is IDEAL for smaller bits & bobs you may need when applying make up. For example I'd pop some cotton buds/Q-tips in there… & possibly even my tweezers
I've heard a lot of hype about Sigma. As soon as I opened it up & had I was so disappointed. Let me explain, I absolutely HATE the BODY SHOP brushes – this is because they are so SILKY that they don't even pick up any product!! These are fairly silky & smooth as well & was expecting them to be absolutely rubbish. However…
They've definitely proved me wrong! They're pick up product & apply like a complete DREAM! I know they're a travel kit, but I tent to use these on a daily basis! Especially the eye liner brush.
Tapered Face F25 – this brush picks up enough product to give you a nice coverage. Because of the shape, you can't buff powder onto your skin but it applies well into the corners of your face. So, under your eyes & down the sides of your nose – PERFECTO!
Duo Fibre Powder/Blush F15 – I use this brush as a blush brush, simply because I like to wear blush & there's already a powder brush in the kit. Because of the duo fibre I find it works very well with highly PIGMENTED blushers, but not so well with the less pigmented ones. In terms of application, my blush always looked perfectly blended on my cheeks because of this It's very hard to get your blush looking patchy – I always use this with my pigmented blushers, it's replaced my usual Sephora blusher brush.
Large Concealer F65 – I hands down don't use a brush for my concealer, I find that I can blend it well with my fingers… So personally, I don't use this brush. I did give it a go but I just don't like using a flat concealer brush. IF it was fluffy or a duo fibre, I'd be on it like gin & tonic. But, find this a little pointless. However, if you like applying concealer with a brush, it does the job.
Large Fluff E50 – I absolutely LOVE this brush. It's perfect for dusting a colour all over your lid. I love using this with 'Vex' by MAC. Then lightly brushing a darker colour, using the same brush, on my crease for some dimension :) You don't need to rub the brush on the eye shadow to pick up lots of colour, as it does this effortlessly!
Small Tapered Blending E45 – again, this brush has no problem in picking up product. I generally use this to apply colour to the outer V of my eye & then blend it using it as well I find sometimes this picks up too much colour, so you've got to be WARY! If I find it hard to blend with this happens, I use the E50 to sort it out
Short Shader E20 – This is PERFECT for when you want to use an eye shadow as a top/bottom lash liner… & for when you wanna create a smokey effect or smokey eye This is my go to brush for those reasons!
Small Eye Liner E10 – At first, I was on the fence with this as I wasn't too sure if I'd be able to create a perfect, smooth & fine flick on my top lash line as it is a rounded brush. But once you get the HANG of it, you're fine! I like to flatten on the edges of my 'Blacktrack' MAC gel liner to create a good flick. I luckily got this brush the same time as I got a lot of my gel liners… & I've gotta say, I don't think I'd be able to live with out it!
For the price, I think this would be the perfect starter kit for anyone who is looking for good quality, reliable make up brushes. Would I have bought this 'travel kit'? NO… But to be completely honest, I take this EVERYWHERE with me when I'm away for the weekend etc. I never thought I would!! It's definitely lacking a FOUNDATION & EYEBROW brush, but that's just me & my eyebrow ODC of course
I have officially decided that I will be getting more Sigma brushes next month! In general I was SUPER impressed by the quality. I'd rather get these than MAC ones to be honest… I'd be saving a lot of money as well Seeing as these have replaced most of my staple brushes, I'm expecting amazing things from their others
Have you tried Sigma brushes? What do you think of them? Any recommendations for me?

Hi dolls. How was your weekend? I totally went crazy & bought loads of lip sticks… SIX to be exact! Superdrug had an offer on Sleek's True Colour lippies so I snapped up some of them, along with 2 Collection 2000 ones.
Sleek have recently expanded their 'TRUE COLOUR' lip stick range to . I got 'Candy Cane', 'Liqueur', 'Pink Freeze' & 'Heartbreaker'. They were on offer, 2 for £6… I couldn't refuse it They come in either sheen or as a matte finish. I got 2 of each.
I would have walked straight past 'Liqueur' but as soon as I swatched it on my hand I knew it would be a lovely nude colour. It has a gorgeous purpley-gold undertone which would TOTALLY suite Asian skin tones. The first two are sheen and the last 2 are matte.
The sheen lip sticks glide onto your lips really easily AND stay for a fair few hours too. The matte isn't as matte as my NARS Pure Matte Lipsticks but it's still a nice finish. I always get pulled to all the pinky colours! I tried to stay away from corals as I got 'Vegas Volt' by MAC last week… & to be honest, a girl can't have too many pink lip sticks
They can stain your lips slightly, but that's what you get for highly pigmented products! As a whole, I'm SUPER happy with these Sleek lippies! If I ever need a colour (stat!) then I can always rely on them (seeing as I don't have a MAC in my town)
I've got one other Collection 2000 'Lasting Colour' lip stick (in Berry Blast – which I absolutely LOVE!) so I thought I'd have a quick look to just see what other colours they have to offer. I picked up 2 shades of pink. I love how they don't break the bank either
'Pink Shock' is a lovely Barbie pink, but isn't too much on your lips (it seems to get toned down due to the colour of my lips). 'Sweet Tart' reminds me of a pinkier verson of 'Vegas Volt' by MAC – so those of you that are too scared to wear that you can always FEED your lips a bit of 'Sweet Tart' I love how moisturising & easily they apply!
'Sweet Tart' smells gorgeous too!
Here are some lip swatches of my favourites… I actually like them ALL, but thought I'd swatch these 4 for you dolls.
Seeing as I've been wearing bright lips a lot recently, I'm definitely going to make good use of these this Summer! What lip stick are you LOVING at the moment? Or what lip stick do you RUSH to for a bit of colour in your life?

The Crystal Creek net is hand-built by Wisconsin netmaker Pete Pritzlaf from native Wisconsin hardwoods. The net bag is USA made, knotless nylon to prevent injury of the fish. Each net bag is hand dyed. The Crystal Creek net is a great trout fishing net and panfish fishing net. The longer handle makes use of the net from a canoe or kayak, etc. even easier. This fly fishing net is not only functional and fish-friendly, but a gorgeous example of craftsmanship.
The hoop is 12" wide by 12 1/4" long. The overall net length from bottom of the handle to top of the hoop is 28". The net bag is 18" deep.

text: Got my repaired block back Tuesday and let it set over night with water in it to verify leak was fixed. Yesterday I adjusted the clutch fingers (replacement pressure plate for the one damaged by the ball bearing type throwout), and got everything ready. This afternoon a neighbor teenager came down and helped me couple Missy back together. Hope to have her running again this weekend. Unfortunately Cub-Bud's paint job is going to need some touching up after all the wrestling around. Wonder if he guarantees his paint jobs.

U.S. Supreme Court
Supreme Court to Decide Whether FCC Ban on Nudity, Expletives Violates First Amendment
Posted Jun 27, 2011 12:12 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The U.S. Supreme Court will revisit the Federal Communications Commission's indecency ban in two cases accepted for review today.
The Supreme Court didn't reach the First Amendment issue when it ruled in 2009 that an FCC policy switch barring so-called fleeting expletives was not arbitrary or capricious.
Since then, the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in two cases that the FCC's indecency policy violates the First Amendment because it is unconstitutionally vague. One case concerns an NYPD Blue episode with a shot of a female character's nude buttocks. The other concerns four-letter words in awards broadcasts.
The FCC policy at issue bars broadcast of indecent material during day and evening hours. The agency has said indecent material involves "patently offensive" depictions or descriptions of sexual or excretory organs or activities.
The United States had sought review, Fox News reports. The network was penalized in one of the cases for fleeting expletives used by Bono, Cher and Nicole Ritchie during awards programs. The government's cert petition (PDF posted by SCOTUSblog) does not spell out the words that led to penalties. Instead, the government brief uses asterisks after an initial "f" and an initial "s."
The cases are FCC v. Fox Television Stations Inc. and FCC v. ABC Inc. Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., who voted with the majority in the 5-4 Supreme Court decision in 2009, said earlier this month that he should have recused himself because he owned stock in ABC's parent Walt Disney Co. He has since sold his stock and will be able to participate in the new appeal.

Hello everybody, this is my extremely late WAGNHSSS that I did because I was bored a 2:30 in the morning and can't go to sleep. It's not really a WAGNHSSS as that deadline ended a while ago but it's that kind of format so I borrowed the name. For some reason Roman has gotten rid of Emanelo and has given the keys to his yacht and £100 million to a 15 year teenager who is going through puberty WHO ISN'T EVEN HIS SON. Odd man.
So after taking his yachtalo for a spin and probably wrecking it I would then set my eyes on transfers. Starting with departures.
Free: Yossi, Malouda, Paulo, Hilarious, Turnbull
Thank you guys for your service, especially Malouda (embarrassed how we treated him last season) and Paulo, great servant to the club, hope you come back in a coaching role.
Chabloah- A decent lower midfield PL team where he'll be the sure starter would be good. Gutted Watford didn't get promoted as I would've liked for him to spend another season with the legend.
Joshie Mc- To hard to type his full name this late, but you all know who he is. Was once one of our beat talents but is now seems to be quite behind, have no idea what happened, I had high hopes for this guy and I hope he comes back.
KDB- A bit controversial this one as most people want him to stay, but with our magicians and the players I'm gonna buy he's probably not going to get enough game time. I know we have a ton of games and that he's definitely going to play for a lot of them if he stays, I would like to send him out to a team like Bayern Leverkusen where he would be a guaranteed starter and play in the champions league for a good team.
Tomas Kalas- Loan him to a mid table club I guess? Great talent, good be our future Ivanovic.
Omureo- No need to rush him, loan to the same team as last year. (I admit it, I forgot their name but it's almost 3 am gimme a break :P)
Kane- Did well at Blackburn surprising me, no need for unnecessary change.
Ake- He wants to stay but it's much better for him if he's loaned out, I'd say same thing as Chabloah, Watford and the little magician Zola.
Courtois- If it ain't broke don't fix it, Courtois is probably the best young keeper in the world, and he's been brilliant at Athlethico and likes it there. He'll be playing in the champions league which wouldn't happen if we were to send him to England so off to Athletico Madrid you go.
Hutchinson- I love you Hutchinson, you were once one of our best young talents and looked like the future John Terry who could also play at centre back, and then you got a horrible injury that ruined your career and seemingly ended it. But you showed true fit to fight back to be able to play for your beloved club once more, and for that I can't let you go. Your just too inspirational, even if your probably never gonna make it :(.
Torres for £10 m- Honestly I'd sell him for a pack of chewing gum a a chocolate bar, but with figures like 20 mil going around I decided to be genorous. I hated it when we bought him as he was clearly out of form and was stupid money, but ah well, too late now.
Bruma for £4 m- Buyback clause juuuuust in case.
Kakuta for £4 m- Same as up top.
So that £118 million for transfers, looking good.
Now the fun bit, I'll be going from back to front.
GK: Green for £2 m- Why not? Decent back up for Chelsea, will probably not play many games and homegrown. Also pretty damn cheap and barely effects my transfer kitty.
CB: A lot of people have been throwing names like Varane and Hummels around but frankly up those are both very unlikely and very expensive, why not go for cheap but still awesome CB...
Kyriakos Papadopoulos - Pure Beast (via OfficialEPL)
Papadopoulos for £15 million- To be our worldclass partner David Luiz? Great player and very good in the air, also proven in the league most like the BPL.
Luke Shaw vs Chelsea 12-13 HD 16.01.2013 (via Dunkmaster3333)
LB: Luke Shaw for £15 m- Great player in the BPL already and is only 17! He's only 2 years older than me and playing regularly in the best league in the world, bloody hell am I jealous. He's also a Chelsea fan so bonus points there. Loaned back to Southampton for experience as Cole's still here, Bertie to back him up.
And that's that for defence, 2 pricey buys with one cheap keeper for £32 million at the end. So that's £88 million left, pretty good.
On to the next one which is...
our best and worse area in both quality and depth. Exciting.
CDM: Think we're fine here, I like Matic and de Rossi but Matic is EXTREMELY pricey and de Rossi's old and expensive so... Mikel's a good player too, by far the most underrated player at our club.
Ilkay Gündogan vs Real Madrid 1/2 CL - Home & Away (via BorussenComps1)
CM: Our dreaded position as we have no player to dictate the tempo of the game. I'm gonna splash here because it's a real position of need. So I'll say...
BVB's Gundongan for £30 m- Brilliant young player who would be the undisputed starter. A lot of cash but, IMO, worth it.
Marco van Ginkel for £8m- Great young player who looks like a real talent, a available for really cheap too. Loan him back to Vitese as with Gundogan, Lamps, Rambo, and The Bison he might not get much playing time.
CAM- Were good, a lot of people think that switching to the 4-3-3 would be best for us but I think with Mata, Hazard OscR, and one of my later signings this is our best formation, especially with Gundogan brought in. So mata, hazard, Marin, Moses, Oscar and a winger I'm about to buy for 3 places?
via planetivy.com
ANDRE SCHURRLE | Goals, Skills, Assists | 2012/2013 (HD) (via gundoganed)
Winger- Schurrle for £18 m- I really like Schurrle, scores goals, gets assists, works hard at defending, and would add a different dimension to our attack. Many people seem to forget that he's only 22 and could very well be the next Bale (without the horrible heart celebration TM.)
So that's £56 m spent on midfield which leaves £32 million left to spend on strikers and extra youth players.
With only Ba and Lukaku at the club I really need to get a striker, and preferably one who brings something different, sheer pace, like Anelka once did for us. Schurrle could do this but I'm not quite comfortable with that and I have a ton of money left so why should I do that?
I thought of Lewa but he's probably going to Bayern. I even thought of Walcott as I really like the guy, fast, seems like a nice down to Earth bloke, but while his transition from winger to striker might go well, it also might not. So I picked a guy I've seen quite a few people talk about recently, who's young, versatile, and available for a decent price who is...
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang | All Goals And Assists So Far | Saint Etienne 2012-13 | 6th April | (via zAGN4)
for £15 million- A young very good striker who just scored 21 goals in 44 goals in all competitions, is very versatile being able to play on the wing or behind the striker, unselfish, and a classy finisher. Aubameyang could be our new Anelka for our new Drogba (Lukaku.)
So a quick recap:
Sell: Torres, Kakuta, Bruma- £18 million
Buy: Green ,Papadopoulos, Shaw, Gundogan, van Ginkel, Schurrle, and Aubameyang- £103 million
£15 million pounds left for any youth buys, which is not my specialty so we'll just skip that.
I would show you what my formations with this would be but I'm tired, so I might just do it later in the comment section. Thanks for reading, and sorry if its hard to read, did it all on my IPad except for the added vids and obamo meme.

by Noga Gur-Arieh:
Brigitte Gabriel (49,) a bestselling author, activist, a leading expert on global Islamic terrorism, and founder and President of ACT! for America, has one fascinating life story. She was born in Lebanon to a Maronite Christian family, and spent her childhood in amid the Lebanese Civil War. When she was 10, Islamic/Palestinian militants launched an assault on a Lebanese military base near her family house, destroying her home leaving her wounded. She then spent seven years living underground in a bomb shelter, with no sanitary systems, electricity or running water.
Her only life line was Israel who provided medical help, and protection during those years in the bomb shelter. Later in 1982 when Israel invaded Lebanon her mother was seriously injured by Muslim/Palestinian rocket and was taken to Zefat hospital for treatment. For her mother it was a life saving experience, for Brigitte it was a life changing experience. Gabriel was surprised by the humanity shown by the Israelis to their enemies who were brought there for treatment such as the Palestinian and Muslims terrorists, in contrast to the constant propaganda against the Jews she saw as a child.
She moved to Israel in 1984 and worked as news anchor for World News, an Arabic-language evening news broadcast of Middle East Television based in Jerusalem. In 1989 she immigrated to the United States. After 911 Brigitte realized that the Islamic radicals she thoughts left behind in the Middle East have now come to America. She launched ACT! for America a non-profit, non partisan organization that educates and empowers citizens to help play a role in enhancing public safety. Today,ACT! has 280,000 members and 875 chapters nationwide including chapters in 11 countries around the world.
You were born in Lebanon, in times of constant war with Israel. What did you feel about Israel and Israelis as a child, and when did your opinion change?
"By the time I was born into Lebanon the population had shifted from majority Christians to majority Muslims because of the Islamic birth rate. That situation was aggravated by the influx of Palestinian refugees who were majority Muslims. That tipped the scale and brought the haters of Israel together hoping to use Lebanon as a launching pad to attack Israel and drive the Jews into the sea. The only thing standing in their way was Lebanese democracy.
As a child I was surrounded by voices on television nightly news and news radio talking about the horrible things the Israelis were doing to the "poor Palestinians". At my home, however, hatred was never taught nor practiced. I lived in the Christian town of Marjayoun on the border with Israel.
In 1975 the combined forces of the PLO and the Muslims bombed my home bringing it down burying me under the rubble wounded. I ended up in a hospital for two and half months and later ended up living in a bomb shelter with my parents for 7 years till 1982 when Israel invaded Lebanon.
Since 1975 as we were surrounded and bombed daily and nightly by the PLO/Muslim armies, and Israel was our only life line. Few people from my town went to Israel and begged for help. Israel started coming in the middle of the night bringing food for the children, as well as blankets, bombs shelters and weapons for the Christian military. So since I was a 10 year old child I knew that Israel was our friend and protector from the Islamists and PLO. However in the rest of Lebanon, they looked at Israel as the invader and looked at us as traitors working with the enemy. "
Can you tell a little bit about your childhood in Lebanon? About a leadership that worshiped violence and called for death to the Jews?
"The first 10 years of my life were ideal. I was born into a very civilized country. Beirut was Paris of the Middle East. Lebanon was the Switzerland of the Middle East. Because of the influence of the majority Christians who were good in business, in education, in the arts as well as great hospitable warm people who valued life and family Lebanon prospered. Unfortunately, Lebanon was the only small Christian country in the Middle East and had bought into the whole Arab nationalism thinking if we side with the Arabs we will be protected as "Arabs" as a part of the "Arab Ummah," Arab nation. The Christians in Lebanon learned the hard way that we were all along considered infidels due to our Judeo Christian heritage.
Despite all that, the culture of worship of death is only an Islamic culture and progressively got worse as the Muslims expanded and drove the Christians out of Lebanon, and now we see out of the Middle East whether in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Bethlahem or Egypt. Today's Christians in Lebanon would leave in a heart beat if they were able to. The ones who are still there are stuck."
What brought you to fight against radical Islam and its impacts of Western Civilization?
"I am an eye witness to terror. I am the Anne Frank who lived to tell about it. I know what happens where people turn a blind eye to terror thinking it is not going to happen to me, it is all the way over there. Now that I live in America, I came from "over there". After September 11th I realized that those radicals I left over there have followed me here. On September 11th my two young daughters came home from school as I was glued to the TV screen watching the images fo the attacks of that day, watching the images of the World Trade Center collapse crying. My youngest daughter looked at me and asked "Mommy why did they do this to us?". She reminded me of me as a child her age, laying in a hospital bed in Lebanon, looking up at my father asking him the same question. My father's answer was: "They hate us because we are Christians. The Muslims consider us infidels and they want to kill us."
I learned since I was a 10 year old little girl that I was wanted dead simply because of the faith I was born into. I had to look into my daughter's eyes and repeat to her what my daddy told me: "They hate us because they consider us infidels and they want to kill us." That day was my defining moment. That day I was born as an activist. That day I vowed that I will do everything I can to make sure that my daughter will never have to look into her child's eyes and tell him or her what my daddy told me and what I had to repeat to her. That day I found my purpose!"
What is your final goal? What are you trying to achieve?
"I am trying to wake up Americans to stand up against evil. When evil goes unchecked, Evil grows like a monster and spreads worldwide. When Christian blood was shed on the streets of Beirut and Jewish blood was shed on the streets of Tel Aviv no one cared. Today innocent people's blood is being shed all over the world by the same hatred driven radicals who have no conscious, who are willing to kill their own children in order to kill those of us whom they consider infidels. I want to ignite a fire in the heart of every apathetic person to make them realize their responsibility to the universe and to each other as human beings to stop evil whenever we see it, identify it and fight it.
I do not come to this from a Christian point of view. I come to this as a human being and a citizen of the world who has a moral duty to be kind to others and treat others the way I want to be treated and make sure we leave this world a better place than we found it for our children and their children. As someone who comes from the Middle East I appreciate the freedom that America's constitution gives me to express my views and rally others to stand up and speak up against evil."

If he isn't the most interesting, caring teacher at the university, I don't know who is. He's the best. ever. TAKE HIM.
He was an amazing professor. His lecture notes were crystal clear and made the concepts very easy to understand. I almost didn't have to go to class because the notes were so helpful for the exams but he was so engaging that I wanted to go!
Maybe it's just me, but I thought this class was painfully boring. That said, Adams is a good lecturer and his power points are all you need to study for the course. Not as easy of an A as a lot of comments make it out to be--requires a lot of studying/memorization.
Dr. Adams is one of the most outstanding professors at BU. He is extremely knowledgable about the curriculum, genuinely interested in his students' experience, and readily accessible outside class. He has incredible oratory skills, and creates PowerPoint slideshows that make even advanced topics easily accessible. Outstanding lecturer and course!
One of the best Biology professors I have had thus far in my almost 4 years of college. Great class
Amazing professor!!! his slides have all the information you need (I didn't really end up using my textbook except for discussion). His office hours are extremely helpful not that I had many questions to ask since his in-class explanations are very clear. I highly recommend him!!!
Best professor I have had at BU by far. He is the model of what every professor should be. There is a lot of information but he makes it as simple as possible. His powerpoints are extremely detailed so you don't even need the textbook. You can tell how much he genuinely cares about his students. Tests cover a lot of information but are fair.
Fantastic professor. He's inspired me to explore research as a possible career option. Lectures are interesting, he genuinely cares if you visit him and will help you in any possible way. He will make sure you understand the material, and expects you to for exams. Different from a regular Bio class where cramming is the only way out. Brilliance.
Well this was the first time a course like this was taught at BU. Come in with previous AP/IB Bio, and you'll be fine. Otherwise, have fun. Labs match lecture, which was nice, and there is no major curve. He's a great lecturer, posts slides, responds to emails, always in office during office hours.
Very good lecturer. Textbook is unnecessary, though it is nice to know that the professor who wrote the book is in BU. Dr. Adams' exam questions are all multiple choice but can be very tricky; you need to really know the details. Understand every slide and you will get A. He clearly spends a lot of time making the slides because they are elaborate.
Dr. Adams is the BEST. He is really good at explaining everything, and his powerpoints are super helpful and awesome. I never fell asleep in his class, which has been a problem for me in other classes (cough NE101 cough cough). definitely pick him! i know he also teaches cell bio, so i would definitely recommend him for that class as well.
By far one of the best professors I've had at BU. I have never had a professor who genuinely cared as much as he does to see his students fully understand what he is teaching. You can tell how much time and effort he puts into the class by his amazing powerpoints and his review sessions.
hes an amazing professor, explains everything in depth and is always willing to help and he's gorgeous too
Probably the best professor I've had at this school! Know the slides and you will get an A. Don't even need the book. EXTREMELY clear slides and cares about knowing you by name. VERY NICE. Not a class to slack off in either! Again, memorize everything on the slides and you'll get an A.
What a professor should be. Clearly cares about his students , as evident by how great his slides are. Just be careful with the third exam (final); it's a lot harder and more memorization-prone than the first two exams.
Hauseman couldn't tech us the second half of the course and thank god for that!! Adams is Extremely clear, understands students' trail of thought, funny and by far the most gorgeous professor i have seen at BU. A lot of material is covered each lecture so you'll get lost if you don't attend. (someone in our class made him a fb fan page haha)
Office hours great to clear up what's important (and what is NOT on the test.) subject can be very boring but at least he makes it simple/straightforward. (You don't need to follow along in book, but it helps to memorize slides after each lecture since they build on each other.) Makes tests a breeze. My class gave applause at last lec (great guy!)
Best teacher I have ever had at Boston University. Class was a lot of fun and the exams were spot on with what he was teaching. What a professor should be

News: Cash Money Records Signs Former Music Rival, "[It's The] First Song Deal I've Ever Had"
Friday, Mar 23, 2012 10:55AM
Former Cash Money Records nemesis Bangladesh has proven his issues with the music empire are long gone, revealing he recently signed his first-ever song deal with Birdman's company.
According to Bang, fans can continue to expect fresh Young Money/Cash Money tracks coming from him.
The powerhouse record label and Bangladesh have since straightened out their business, the producer revealed to MTV News. "We just did some nice business together. They just bought a whole bunch of tracks, that's about it," Bang said. "They gave me a song deal, basically, first song deal I ever had, so shouts out to Cash Money." Fans can now expect to hear more of the Atlanta beatmaker's pounding production on upcoming YMCMB releases. "Everybody respects each other, and real recognizes real. At the end of the day, the work is solid, so everybody wants to be in business with each other," he said. "Our issues, we resolved the issues, so it was time to move on past that and do other business. "I think it's really big," Bangladesh added. "It's a big step, because it went from negative to positive, so you could show people that you can always work things out." (MTV)
Prior to things getting ironed out, Bang said Cash Money had failed to fully compensate him for 2011's "6 Foot, 7 Foot" anthem.
In regards to "6 Foot, 7 Foot," Bangladesh claims to have waived the upfront fee that he usually charges artists, just so he could have the opportunity to work with Tunechi again. "It's not about the money, it's not about me charging him for the beat, because he is Lil Wayne; he's gonna sell albums," the producer said. "You only really charge people that you think is not gonna really sell too much, so you want to get your money off top. You might not get it on the back-end because albums don't sell no more." What he does know is that he can't continue to work with Cash Money until things get resolved. "Every time we come up with a solution, it never gets taken care of. I just can't keep really giving them music." (MTV)
Back in 2010, Bang aired out his frustrations with Cash Money over unpaid music.
"This is why Mannie Fresh don't f*ck with [Cash Money] because he never got any royalty money," he said in an interview. "That's why Baby can go around flaunting this cash, because that's everyone else's money... It's not even Wayne's fault. Wayne is not getting money. He is given money, he's not getting money. If Baby gets a million dollars he'll buy Wayne a Phantom, but that's in Cash Money's name. That 14-bedroom mansion isn't Wayne sh*t. That's why he have his own company, because he was trying to leave Cash Money and the only thing that would keep him there was [if they] gave him his own thing. But Baby still controls that. All those Young Money artists don't even know that they not getting royalty money." (VIBE)
On a lighter note, the producer previously talked to SOHH about "6 Foot, 7 Foot" and "A Milli" comparisons.
"I think the industry just talks like that," Bang told SOHH referencing "A Milli" and "6 Foot 7 Foot" comparisons. "You want to out-do your greatest. If his greatest was something else, 'It's better than this' or 'it's 10 times better than that.' You always want to out-do your greatest so 'A Milli' is the standard you want to reach. So you know, it's 'A Milli' on steroids. I think that's a great thing. You want to over achieve what you already did. [Lil Wayne and Cory Gunz] are both jamming. There's no favorite [or who's better]. Wayne's different than Cory Gunz and Cory Gunz is Cory Gunz. I don't really compare great rappers. Obviously one is bigger than the other, but they're on the same team so it be the media that's always trying to make the difference in the two. 'Who's better?' It's not really about that, they're both good. I would buy both albums [if the song was featured on both their LP's] for two different reasons. They're not the same. You can't compare what's not the same." (SOHH)

By Sarah Baldwin - bio | emailJuly 11, 2008
THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB) - Faye Bryant was transferred to the intermediate intensive care unit at Archbold Memorial Hospital last Saturday after her condition continued to get worse. "She seems like she's either very irritable or in a lot of pain," said her daughter Melissa McDonald.
The Bryant's ate at the Barbecue Pit Steak And Seafood restaurant in Moultrie 3 weeks ago. Health investigators say beef served at the popular restaurant is the source of an E-coli outbreak in Colquitt County. "We ate there several times before and several times after. Not thinking this is the culprit that actually made them sick," said McDonald.
The Barbecue pit closed voluntarily last week and is cooperating with the health department while they investigate. Faye Bryant and her husband John both got sick. He's still seeing a doctor but has been released from the hospital. Faye Bryant hasn't been so lucky. Right now her family says she's in a semi-conscious state. Her daughter said, "Her kidneys' are working from 0 to 10%. She goes everyday to dialysis. She has to have plasma exchange and platelets. Her platelets just got up today so she won't have to have that anymore. They found out she's having mini-seizures. All from this."
Despite the situation, Bryant's family remains hopeful. "Moultrie is a small town. It could have sickened a lot of people. And it could have actually been really, really devastating. And I hope it doesn't turn out to be devastating for us." Bryant's family tells us there are two other seriously ill E-coli patients being treated at Archbold.
Health Inspectors believe the Barbecue Pit Steak and Seafood restaurant bought tainted beef from a Nebraska distributor, which also supplied beef linked to an e-coli outbreak in Michigan and Ohio.

A taste of Hungary's history in Budapest's sumptuous coffeehouses
BUDAPEST, Hungary —American coffeehouses are prized for their quick service and fast Internet — ideal for people on the go. But a century ago, European cafes were places to linger amid Gilded Age opulence. Nowhere was this more so than in Budapest, where some of its great historic cafes have survived economic crises, war and Communism.

Matt Mitrione has literally evolved as a fighter before our eyes.
All five of his professional fights have taken place in the UFC as well as two on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 10. He's come a long way since showcasing a very limited skill-set in his promotional debut.
Some have called for Mitrione to move on to the upper echelon of the heavyweight division but the still-green fighter says, "hold your horses."
The ex-NFL lineman spoke with MMA Die Hards after his big victory over Christian Morecraft on the UFC on Versus 4 main card last night about making the change in fight camps and what he still believes he has to work on.
"Meathead" has worked with Chris Lytle and Duke Roufus' fight camps in the past but he reached out to Xtreme Couture in preparation for his main card bout with Morecraft.
Here's his explanation for the big move:
I just kinda felt like I needed much more grappling in my life. I felt that jiu-jitsu is fun but for me, it's not totally applicable so I wanted to go into more catch wrestling. I sought out coach Neil Melanson and from that I got about 5-6 weeks of direction underneath him and his protege Patrick. Actually, the punch in the second round that I dropped him with, I threw a right hook and a straight left. That right hook is something I've been working on over there and they were constantly telling me, 'throw it, throw that punch.' I hold it tight and don't have a lot of confidence in it and I think a lot of people prepare for straight down the pipe punches and they hold their hands up tight and that opens up the hook. I figured, 'what the hell, might as well try it.'
During the fight, Mitrione really hammered Morecraft with some big punches and kicks but some may wonder about his defensive grappling. He was taken down a few times and appeared to have some trouble on the ground against the 6'6" fighter. While some may point to that as a weakness, Mitrione detailed why he didn't look to quickly get back to his feet once on his back.
I'm really comfortable on the ground. It's not like I don't want to be there. I've spent so much time grappling and doing cagework that I'm comfortable there. I know when to waste my energy and when not to, when to explode and when not to. He's sitting there holding me down getting threatened by the ref to make movements, I'm not gonna fight against that because now he has to start moving and maybe give me some space which will give me an opportunity to get up.
With last night just being his fifth professional fight, Mitrione believes that the then 7-1 Morecraft was the perfect opponent for him given where he is in his career right now and he presented an entirely different challenge.
This was a test of a totally different aspect of my game. [Morecraft] wanted to get me to the ground and he wanted to wrestle. He has a bigger body, more reach and strong. So I knew that was a situation that was going to come about and I wanted to make sure to prepare for it and that was one of the biggest reasons I went out and found coach Melanson because I know that through working with him, he's 6'5, 260 lbs. and he's all muscle so I know through working with him I'll be fine against pretty much anybody.
Now riding a five fight winning streak in the promotion, some believe it's time to Mitrione to step it up and face a bigger name in the division, but he still wouldn't mind being given a little more time to develop.
I'll admit I'm probably pretty far away. There are so many holes in my game and there are a lot of things I've got to develop on and that I feel I can get much better on. I see things I've got to do and get better. I know Mr. White and Mr. Silva don't really have ambitions to throw me to the wolves or say, 'ok, let's see what happens here.' I know they like my development and they want to make me better because I think they believe I can make a run sooner or later.
So what do you think Maniacs?
Is it time for Mitrione to step up against some bigger and better competition? Or should he continue to bide his time and hone his craft?
Opinions, please.

September 2, 2014
DENVER (AP) -- After a three-year dry spell, Colorado agriculture producers are anxious to see if springtime will bring critical precipitation.
The Denver Post reports (http://bit.ly/VoeD11 ) that because of the drought, hay costs about $300 a ton, about twice the normal price. And though that might sound good for hay growers, some say the long-term impact to customers costs more than the windfall.
Hay grower Jason Stanger says if prices get too high, customers will sell parts of their herd or get out of the cattle business altogether. He adds "that costs us more down the road."
State climatologist Nolan Doesken with the Colorado Climate Center at CSU says so far, long-term weather indicators for the West are inconclusive and the state is in a waiting game.
Without some relief, Colorado risks more wildfires, another crop disaster and a stalled economy.

It's easy to argue Captain Ahab was an angry, maniacal loon, but maybe he was just drunker than he thought. That's the story I would roll with anyway, and thanks to Delaware's Dogfish Head brewery, acting like a belligerent seadog now comes standard with a bowl of IPA-infused Clam…

92% of Americans and 78% of Georgians Are Wrong About the BCS
In an incredibly scientific poll conducted two days after the Super Bowl for the first time in modern memory even arguably paired the NFL's two best teams, 92 per cent of Americans participating in the internet balloting indicated that the National Football League does a better job of producing a deserving champion than the Bowl Championship Series. Georgians gave the BCS its second-highest approval rating (behind only the denizens of the state to our immediate left, currently the home of the BCS championship trophy) with 22 per cent. For the record, while I did not vote in the poll, I am in that 22 per cent, a figure which doubtless would have been considerably higher the day after the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots. It bears pointing out, by the way, that Plessy v. Ferguson was an 8-1 decision and the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed 416-0 in the House and 88-2 in the Senate. As P.J. O'Rourke has pointed out, it's not the divisive issues on which folks are split down the middle that pose the biggest threats; it's the issues about which there is eerie unanimity that run the greatest risk of disastrously bad consequences, such as Jim Crow, the Vietnam War, and a Division I-A college football playoff. Go 'Dawgs!
