A restaurant chain that got its start in Bethpage could soon return to nest.
The flagship location for the brand new Pudgie's Naked Chicken Co. launched last week on Hicksville Road in Massapequa — in the Uncle Giuseppe's shopping center — with plenty of fanfare and a line of close to 50 customers who showed up early for gift cards good for one free meal per week for a year, a promotion that had many first-time customers clucking excited.
"A free meal once a week for year, there is nothing wrong with that," said Alan Pess, whose early bird effort, along with his sister Michele, was good for first in line. "I remember the original Pudgie's from back in the day. It was good then and their new approach sounds even better."
The franchise eatery's original incarnation, Pudgie's Famous Chicken, got its start in Bethpage in the early 80s. But after plenty of initial success, many locations on the island were closed due to financial failings. And while a couple of the orginal restaurants remain, the brand's owner, TruFoods, LLC, is excited to rebrand the proudly remembered poultry.
"It feels great to bring this place back to where it was born and update it, bring it into the 21st century, with fresher, higher quality menu offerings," said Gary Occhiogrosso, president and CDO of
TruFoods, LLC, who was busy breading chicken and tending to customers on opening day.
Occhiogrosso said there is already interest from three individuals to open franchises, including in Bethpage and Amityville. He said the Pudgie's goal is to set a new standard for quality food, served quickly, without the heat lamps and grease of typical fast food establishments.
"When people walk into the new Pudgie's, they understand it's not a fast food joint with heat lamps and boxed food," he said. "They walk in and see the level of quality in the environment and the menu offerings. We cook our food fresh and our chicken is fried fresh. It's not sitting in a heater. It is worth waiting for."
As for the grand opening in Massapequa, Occhiogrosso said the free meal promotion brought in plenty of attention, but he believes the quality of the product will bring customers back.
"We couldn't believe the crowd, it was like we were giving away iPhones," said Occhiogrosso, adding that he and his crew "muscled through" the frenetic pace of that first morning, performing better and better with each shift. "We have a great group of young people working here, local kids, many from high school and college."

The PLO extended its philanthropic efforts to four groups as special guests – The Emerging Young Leaders, The Ivy League, Cypress Middle School and Corry Middle School. Other guests included vocal performers Tiffany Williams and A'Mirrah Elise.
A special presentation was awarded to PLO member Gwendolyn Gilbert Shorter for longstanding service to the showcase, whose chairperson this year was Janice Gray.

Lines must not be crossed: Dhoni
India and England captains present contrasting views on Anderson-Jadeja incident
It was the eve of the Lord's Test, between England and India, and almost nobody wanted to ask anything to the two captains about cricket. The press conferences with both, Alastair Cook and MS Dhoni were all about the incident between James Anderson and Ravindra Jadeja.
Team India charged the England fast bowler under Level 3 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Support Personnel for abusing and pushing Jadeja on the second day of the Trent Bridge Test.
Dhoni, expressing his views on the matter, said, "We talk a lot about the spirit of the game. There are guidelines that need to be followed. You can be aggressive and vocal but should also follow them."
It is not very often that a player is charged for a Level 3 offence. When asked if Anderson's alleged offence was that serious, the Indian captain said, "Yes, at least that's what we think."
Elaborating with an example, Dhoni said, "In this press conference, you can ask me tough questions and I have the right to answer it or choose not to. But in no way, can I touch you."
England skipper, Cook, had different views on the matter. He actually believes that pressing the charge against the hosts' best bowler is some sort of tactic that India are using after the tightly fought first Test.
"It is probably a tactic a little bit from India if we are being honest," Cook said. "We hope if the ball swings during this Test Jimmy will want his cricket to do the talking. We were surprised it was a level three incident after hearing both sides of it and what happened."
Even as he claimed that he "didn't see what really happened", Cook was vehement in his defense of his bowler.
"As players we know we can't cross the line but in the heat of the moment there have been situations when we have all looked back and thought we went too far but that is not the case in this incident. I like it when Jimmy is in the battle because it means he is up for it and desperate to do well for England. Others get behind him because they see a competitive guy and they love that."
Dhoni, on the other hand, admired how Jadeja handled the situation by not retaliating to Anderson's action. "It's a constant thing that keeps happening," the captain said. "Somebody starts something and we retaliate and we are fined. Jadeja didn't retaliate. He responded in an appropriate manner. Somebody has to back off at the right time. We should learn from it and move on."
While both captains differed in their views regarding the incident, they agreed on one thing. They both hoped the incident will not leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth as the series progresses.
"We have to make sure that the remaining matches are played in the right spirit, but at the same time they are not docile," Dhoni said. "We want the players to be aggressive and say a few things but also play in the right spirit. I'll do what is in my control to ensure that."
Cook seconded. "I hope it does not [sour relations]. Both MS and I have responsibility as captains to make sure we control our players and don't let that happen because we have a responsibility to the people watching the game and under the ICC rules. It might make it good viewing but I don't think we will see that happen."
Preview: England vs India, 2nd Test
Plenty to ponder for both teams ahead of Lord's
Second Test of the five-match series between India and England
July 17 to 21, 2014
Lord's, London
The Teams
Not every time do you see an Indian batting line-up bat for more than a hundred overs overseas in both innings. On a dry and placid Trent Bridge wicket, the bowlers bent their backs, while the batsmen made merry. Namely, three players were the highlight for India in the first Test. Murali Vijay batted like he belonged in whites and looked hungry for big scores every time he walked out to bat. With the ball, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ishant Sharma bowled their hearts out to make use of whatever purchase they could get off the wicket; Bhuvi though excelled with the bat as well with half centuries in both innings.
Both captains have asked for 'livelier' pitches in the games to follow and the team selection before the 2nd Test at Lord's would depend on the wicket on offer. There has been much talk about Ravindra Jadeja failing with the ball and not being able to utilize the 'rough' to good effect. Will the Indian captain think of a possible switch between Jadeja and a specialist spinner in R Ashwin who is more than a handy bat? Or is there a chance of both players being featured in the eleven, which would mean leaving out Stuart Binny who saved the first Test with a handy 78. If Lord's offers a wicket suitable for seamers, Binny might retain his place in the squad, and India could just field an unchanged squad on Thursday.
India batted twice at Trent Bridge, which meant more workload for the England bowlers. A point of concern for England in the bowling department would be the form of Moeen Ali. The off-spinner did pick four wickets in the first Test, but was dealt with severity by the Indian batsmen. England have made an interesting inclusion to their squad in the form of 25-year old Simon Kerrigan. The left-arm orthodox has received a lot of flak for his credibility as a spinner in the side, especially after a horrific Ashes debut last year. Will England include Kerrigan in the side or will England stick to Moeen Ali at Lord's? There is a question mark over Alastair Cook's form as well and the England captain would want to let his bat do the talking before more fingers are pointed out at him.
Key Players
Virat Kohli had single digit scores in both the innings at Trent Bridge. It has not been the best of starts for his maiden tour of England and the No.4 bat would want to get into his groove before it is too late. Kohli had mentioned his hunger for runs overseas earlier, and he does understand the importance of this tour. The stage doesn't get bigger and better than this for Kohli. England and Lord's are reason enough for Virat to put up his best foot forward for the team.
Ian Bell batted just once in the first Test and got a score of 25 against his name. Off those 25 runs, 24 of them came in boundaries before he was out caught behind by MS Dhoni playing a dab to Ishant Sharma. He last played a Test at Lord's against Sri Lanka and got a half century in that Test. Bell does have a liking towards India having recorded his highest score in Tests against them. When he walks out to bat at Lord's, England would want all of Bell's experience on display to take their side to a considerable advantage. If Bell gets going, he sure would have rung a few alarm bells in the Indian camp.

New York
Brooklyn Heights
Introducing Brooklyn Heights
This is the other New York, away from the Times Square neon, but an equally strongly branded slice of the Big Apple.
Brooklyn Heights is the place of blintzes and brownstones, its leafy streets with friendly steps leading up to row houses as iconic as a yellow cab. Proudly tagging itself America's first suburb, the area attracts artists who have arrived and bearded young entrepreneurs in search of Walt Whitman.
Foodstuffs are kept raw and local, while the offerings in the charity shops lean more towards last season Chloé than cast-offs. Evenings are spent nursing an artisan homebrew at Pete's Waterfront Ale House or tucking into hake sashimi at Hibino, confirming that the message of this iconic enclave has spread far beyond the city borders.

Trip reports, reviews and so on … from the point of view of the trade.
Over the winter I have received a fair few e-mails from owners of hotels, restaurants and villas, authors of books, owners of small businesses, and even a composer! The e-mails had two common factors running through them and that was about black-listing people and about people who write nasty reports. So, I think the simplest thing for me to do here is simply answer the main questions as they pop up & in no particular order of importance:-
- yes, if somebody has written a bad report about you, feel free to say what you think about them BUT remember you are a professional person and must not stoop to their level! Here is one that was shown to me, the owner of a small restaurant in Marbella in response to a bad review: Mrs X (name) I have read your childish review and want to tell you that I found you disgusting, eating with your mouth open, talking loudly with your drunk husband. So your opinion is of no importance to me at all.
We can all understand where he is coming from, that restauranteur. He has worked very hard for many years and almost certainly did not deserve a bad review; his response was unprofessional (but Lordy, isn't it tempting ?!) and equally childish. He was, however, right to respond. Something more appropriate would be along the lines of: Mrs X (name), I have read your report and, while I appreciate feed-back from my customers, most of whom are very happy with my service, I can neither condone nor accept a review that comes from somebody such as your good self.
That is not rude, it is not petty, but it is saying to others "this woman was ghastly anyway!"
- yes, naming the person in question is fine providing you are sticking to the truth and not saying anything slanderous. And it is only fair. They feel free to name you so they must realize you will probably respond. Be very careful, however. Just as you, as the tradesman, have the right to sue somebody who is trying to ruin your business, they also have the right to sue you. I have never come across this happening (in either direction) but it could. Here is one in response to a bad hotel review: F…. M….. (name), I feel that is really unkind of you. I did a lot for you while you were here and it is unfair to criticise me after the event. You seemed very happy, and had you told me there was something wrong I'd have done my utmost to sort it.
That is perfectly reasonable.
- no, you should not black-list somebody because they wrote a bad review unless that person often writes bad reviews in which case it is well worth warning other trades that this is a person likely to complain. The aim of the black-list is to warn other trades that these people wrecked the house, or were difficult about paying, or stole the silver or were simply rude and unpleasant.
- no, you should not simply give in for the sake of peace. I had a letter last year (or was it the year before?) from a woman who stayed two weeks in one of my cottages, who seemed to be having a nice holiday, but who after she had returned to the UK, wrote to complain. It was clear to me that she wanted a refund of some sort and, upon investigation, I found that she tries this every year wherever she goes. Most people who complain are hoping for some money back and you should not give in.
- it is our duty, as tradespeople, to provide the very best we possibly can of whatever service it is. Once we are confident we are doing that we should not have to take unecessary criticism, let alone out-and-out nastiness. If it is any consolation, the people that write bad reviews are a) usually women, b) usually overweight women (yes, really!) and c) often have (men or women) some kind of inadequacy problem. Let us console ourselves with that. Meanwhile, just as we have to put up with the variations of public opinion, so the public must realize that we will not necessarily take it lying down!
- last but not least, most members of the public simply do not realize the damage they can do. I doubt any of them think "right, I'm going to see if I can stop people going there! Let's make him bankrupt!" They just don't think about it at all. They have a mis-placed idea that their voice is important, and they let off steam by putting pen to paper, often to the cost of people who have done no harm.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday chalet in Portscatho - Towan Beach Chalet
2 bedrooms (one en suite), verandah, woodburner, sleeps 4(-6)
This secluded, extra-comfortable and carefully maintained self-catering chalet — a perfect refuge in summer and winter alike — is hidden away in a corner of one of Cornwall's most unspoiled and beautiful areas, the Roseland Peninsula, bordered on one side by the famous sailing waters of the Carrick Roads, on the other by the English Channel. Set amongst lawns and trees at the very narrowest point of the peninsula, with spectacular views over woods and farmland, the chalet is 350 metres from a wonderful but little-known sandy beach on one side, and 50 metres from a picture-book winding creek and its tidal estuary on the other. It offers perfect peace — but also proximity to a unique range of attractions, including the Eden Project, the Falmouth Maritime Museum, the Tate at St. Ives and numerous famous gardens. There are some excellent country inns in the vicinity — and a superb 7-day shop in Portscatho, just over a mile away, selling pretty well everything from apples to zinfandel.
The Roseland Peninsula: The Roseland is one of Cornwall's most special places, a motley of sea- and river-scapes, woods and fields, lanes and churches, pretty beaches. Besides offering infinite scope both for gentle lazing and for vigorous pursuits on land or sea, the Roseland also gives easy access to some of England's most exquisite attractions, such as the Tate Gallery at St Ives, the 'Lost Gardens of Heligan', and the miraculous Eden Project with its spectacular biodomes.
The Chalet: The chalet has recently been completely rebuilt and re-equipped to offer optimum comfort and convenience in all seasons, with its sunset verandah, triple-aspect living/dining room, fall-asleep sofas, Danish woodburner, ubiquitous radiators, well-equipped kitchen (with fabulous views!), two bathrooms (one en-suite), and a general air of calm seclusion. Besides yourself and your belongings you need only bring kitchen/bathroom consumables, and linen (though linen packs are available for overseas visitors). NB: Smoking is NOT PERMITTED within the chalet.
Provisions etc.: For provisions, the village of Portscatho (1+ miles) offers an excellent papers-to-popadoms, wine-to-widgets 7-day store. The picturesque resort of St Mawes with its medieval castle and sailing/fishing fleet is 7 miles away, while the chalk-and-cheese towns of Falmouth and Truro are both 14 miles via the ancient chainlink river-crossing, the King Harry Ferry. These latter towns both offer the normal panoply of banks, supermarkets, chain stores etc. Please e-mail us for our 'private' web site address.
The nearest postcode for satnavs is TR2 5EX. Note: the chalet has no actual postcode. Clients will be sent full travel directions.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
- suitable for elderly or infirm
- wheelchair inaccessible
Guestbook comments from the owner
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed staying at your beach chalet. It was very comfortable and extremely cosy, especially with the woodburner lit. We couldn't have wished for better accommodation in such a lovely peaceful setting within yards of the beach — perfect!

SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/13 -- SiSense, the Big Data Analytics Company, won the Audience Choice Award last night at the O'Reilly Strata conference "Startup Showcase" with its record-breaking ability to analyze billions of rows of data in a flash. The company will continue to showcase this record for the rest of the week at Strata (booth P3).
CTO Eldad Farkash demonstrated the power of SiSense Prism by analyzing 10TB of data in 10 seconds installed on a single node on a standard Dell Server, breaking the barriers of traditional in-memory analytics.
"We are thrilled to win the audience choice award," said Farkash. "Our goal is to level the playing field so that businesses of all sizes can access analytics on a massive scale. SiSense's Prism solution can do on one node what others require an expensive clusters of 20 servers."
"The majority of businesses use 1-30 TB of data and now, for the first time, they can work with data at scale, without having to worry about out-of-memory issues or complex integration limitations," says Amit Bendov, SiSense CEO. "Our software combines everything businesses of all sizes need to succeed in one package -- from the database to beautiful visualizations on the web. With this new record, we are proving that Big Data Analytics is not just reserved for companies with large budgets."
The secret behind SiSense simplicity and performance is its Elasticube, a high-performance analytical database which leverages the latest innovation in hardware to maximize machine RAM, CPU, and Disk use. SiSense Prism's columnar data structure and compression algorithms provide great storage improvements. Its compiler runs inside the CPU and inside the machine control unit, and decides in real-time how to best execute queries -- either in RAM, Disk, or both. SiSense uses "vectorization," a process that refers to a machine's ability to apply the same operation to multiple pieces of data simultaneously, resulting in 10X performance gains.
Companies from 48 countries around the globe -- from global brands like Merck, ESPN, and NASA to hot startups like Uber and Wix -- leverage SiSense technology to interpret mass quantities of data from variable data sets and multiple sources. SiSense Prism can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud.
SiSense Prism provides everything a business needs to succeed with Big Data Analytics:
- Ability to analyze 100x more data than RAM based in-memory solutions
- Can store and query tens of billions of rows of data
- Runs on commodity, "off-the-shelf" hardware
- Provides automatic extraction ("ETL") from all major databases including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Intuit QuickBase, and applications like Salesforce.com, Google Adwords, Google Analytics, Google Spreadsheets, Zendesk and Intuit QuickBooks, and data from Hadoop/Hive
- Comes with Out-of-The-Box Web based visualizations based on HTML 5 and JavaScript

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Which is better for making hummus: Immersion Blender or Food Processor?
- j
- Jennlax27iga0 Dec 5, 2011 05:29 PM
I'm looking for a holiday gift for my dad, and he wants to make his own hummus. I've read it can be done well with either an immersion blender or food processor, but is one (much) better than the other?
Based on my knowledge of both I feel like the food processor would be better at hummus, though based on the ease of cleaning the IB, I feel like it would be easier to use (& thus used more often :), he'd also make his own marinades/dressings, which I imagine the IB would be preferrable for. But since hummus is the #1, hands-down, things that needs to be made I'd really appreciate opinions from people who have tried both appliance (or either one).
For reference I'm looking at a Bamix immersion blender (or potentially the Cuisinart CSB-76 SmartStick but worried it might not hold up) or the Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic 7C food processor.
it's easier to control the texture with an immersion blender. and in addition to being easier to clean, it also takes up far less storage space if that's a consideration. based on what you said, he's probably more likely to use something he can grab from the drawer as opposed to hauling the FP out of a cabinet, fiddling with the blade, locking the bowl into place, taking it apart to clean it...
re: goodhealthgourmet
I second it. I used a food processor to make hummos for years, and I love the ease and the results of my immersion blender.
re: mattstolz
Judging from the OP's question, I'm guessing his dad likes it creamy. I do, too.
re: mattstolz
I'm for the food processor, but then I have a Bosch mixer that has a food processor attachment. I've used both immersion blender and food processor and I like the ease and speed of a food processor vs the constant up and down mashing motion and constant whacking the stuck chickpeas from the bottom of the immersion blender while trying to find that consistency that drives me nuts. Given a choice between an Immersion Blender and a potato masher, I'd seriously go with the potato masher. But that's just me.
I think if you're worried about an Immersion blender not holding up, then go with the food processor.
re: freia
I agree with freia about the immersion blender. Maybe I have an inferior model - it's a Braun. I find it really irritating to use some of the time. To get something very smooth takes lots of work. Mostly I don't mind little chunks - as in carrot or squash soup. I do, however, mind bits of garbanzo beans in my hummus. I go for the food processor. I wish it'd work in the blender, but it's just not wet enough to do anything but make a space for the blade to whirr round and round without coming in contact with hummus....too much stopping and pushing the hummus down so the blade can contact it.
I sometimes wonder about putting more liquid in the garb mix and then letting it drain through cheesecloth til it gets to the right consistency.
re: oakjoan
I have an older Braun blender stick and it makes hummos as smooth as I used to make in my Cuisinart processor without all the cleanup. I hate chunks in hummos. I think I've read that newer ones aren't nearly as reliable, and if mine ever dies, I'll buy a Bamix.
re: oakjoan
I have a new Cuisinart and an old Braun -- the Cuisinart has way more power.
re: ChristinaMason
+1 on the blender. Just add enough tahini to keep it moving.
re: pine time
+1, but -1 on the tahini :) The dry nut solids in the tahini, once they hit water, will swell and thicken the hummus, making it harder to blend.
The easiest way to keep it moving is to use a tall, vortex friendly blender, blending the right amount of hummus at a time (about 1/3 the carafe), and using still slightly hot chickpeas and a little bit of the hot cooking juice. If using canned chickpeas, warm them in saucepan with water.
Transfer the puree to a container, and, once it has cooled a bit, add the lemon juice, tahini and garlic. After it's been thoroughly chilled, it will be stiff enough to hold a knife straight up. On the other hand, if you blend chickpeas at room temp, and add enough water so they keep moving, by the time they cool, they'll be too loose.
re: ChristinaMason
Agree absolutely. For the creamiest hummus nothing but a conventional blender will do.
Good question! I will be making roasted red pepper hummus for a class party to be held in a few days. I plan on try our immersion blender for the process. Also I will be processing the hummus in a wide mouthed glass jar that has a great capacity to minimize the loss of hummus during cleanup.
We have a Braun immersion blender that works great when blending is done in stages, not overtaxing its capability.
If planning to make small batches (1 cup or less of beans), definitely go with the IB. For big batches, I like a FP.
re: RetiredChef
With a large enough bowl and the right amount of liquid, I get through a LOT of beans really fast with a simple, plastic Braun blender stick. Unless you're talking about commercial quantities? I use the blender stick for very large quantities of rutabaga puree for Thanksgiving, too, and my FIL always commented that he'd never had such creamy puree before. Honestly, I think it just comes down to what you're used to, have room and patience for. I've used both to make hummos for years and have never found any difference in quality or texture of the outcome.
re: RetiredChef
I have to agree with you. Unless you happen to like your hummus to have a fluffy, buttercream frosting texture (VERY non-authentic), a food processor is the way to go. You get a smooth consistency without all the air.
re: rasputina
Me, neither, but it doesn't come out thin and watery with an immersion blender, IME. Thick and creamy, same as with the fp I used for years.
re: sweetpotater
If storage space is at a premium, and you don't need to make large batches, then an immersion blender with a food chopper/processor attachment gives you the best of both worlds.
The chopper is better for items like nuts (Cuisinart even suggests reversing the blade for that), and for paste like items (e.g. pesto, remesco). The immersion part better for soupy things like a creamed soup or gazpacho. With one Mexican peanut sauce I started it in the chopper, and then switched to the immersion blender to make it smoother.
Given the units I have, I would make the hummus in the chopper attachment.
re: paulj
I wind up making too much hummus for the small food processor attachment with my Cuisinart immersion blender. Plus, the thought of stripping those plastic wing thingees that drive my blade on my immersion blender doesn't appeal to me, so I just go right to my medium sized food processor. Like paulj says, it is a question of volume there, but don't forget about the longevity of your immersion blender :)
I made roasted red pepper hummus using our immersion blender. There was a problem. Trying to puree 2 cans of garbanzo beans without sufficient liquid overtaxed the blender. The blender still works, and the resulting hummus was great, but it was more of a mess than it would have been if I had used our food processor. From past experience, the processor would have done the job with less of a mess.
I read recently that warm chickpeas result in a smoother hummus. So if you are looking for a smooth texture, use either freshly cooked chickpeas, or warm up the canned ones. I did try, and thought it made a difference.
Definitely the IB because the processor can easily leave chunks, plus, as hasbeen mentioned, far easier to store, clean and grab quickly.

Man accused of scamming church in Macomb Township turns himself in
Updated On: Nov 06 2013 01:35:00 PM EST
Fraser police said a man accused of stealing thousands of dollars from a church has turned himself in.
Police said St. John Lutheran Church hired Watertight Roofing of Macomb Township to do some work.
In October, a man who identified himself as the roofing company's owner took $4,000 and told the church the roof was fixed, police said.
It later turned out no work had been done on the church's roof.
Police had identified the alleged thief as 28-year-old Joseph Christopher Delmaro, who is also accused of committing a similar crime at a church in another city in 2009.
After seeing his picture in the media, Delmaro turned himself in.
He is expected to be arraigned Wednesday.

Changes Lyrics - Godsmack
Review The Song (1)
All or nothing
It's sometimes life's between what's undecided
And all for nothing
It seems I'm wasting my time
Don't look down on me like I don't know anything that I've been doing
You talk down to me
It's time you take a better look inside
I'll never be the same
I'm moving back onto my ways
I'm looking for changes to better my ways
Bow down to me
Taken your pride and stuff it down inside
Vows are ruined
Losing my faith,losing time
Better off you than me
I just can't stand another day when you're in my way
A long time brewing
It's time you kiss your ass goodbye
I'll never be the same
I'm moving back onto my ways
I'm looking for changes to better my ways

This Bible contains the 2007 ESV text.
Q: Is the brown/crimson color medium or dark? ESV MacArthur Study Bible.My husband ordered the Olive Woodcut color for me for Christmas. Online it appears as a lovely green. It actually is quite dark; really a deep brownish-green. I am wondering if the brown/crimson is also quite dark.
Yes, this cover also has deep coloring. The red is not as bright as it appears in the "Front Cover" view, it is closer in coloring to the regular view.

Leahy should end blue slipsApril 03,2014The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
The job of federal judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina has been vacant for
more than eight years, one of the longest vacancies of 83 on the federal bench around the country. In June, President Barack Obama nominated Jennifer May-Parker, a federal prosecutor, for the position, but she hasnt even received a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee because Richard Burr, the states Republican senator, is blocking her.
The strange part is that Burr himself recommended her for the seat in 2009. But now hes changed his mind and wont say why, exploiting an archaic Senate tradition to make sure Obama cant fill that vacancy.
That tradition, known as the blue slip, gives senators the ability to block any judicial nomination in their state, no explanation necessary, before it even reaches the stage of a committee hearing never mind the Senate floor. Theres no formal rule enshrining this tradition, and the committees chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., could end it tomorrow. But he has inexplicably clung to the practice, preventing worthy nominees from being confirmed and allowing petty Republican politics to reduce Obamas influence on the bench.
If a home-state senator wont return a blue piece of paper agreeing to a judicial nomination, Leahy wont give the nominee a committee hearing or a vote. Its a form of senatorial courtesy that goes back to 1917 or so, giving senators an anti-democratic power never contemplated in the Constitution.
As with the filibuster, members of both parties have abused the privilege, but only when it suits them. When Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, was the chairman of the committee during the presidency of George W. Bush, he would allow nominations to proceed over the objections of both home-state senators, as long as the president consulted with them first.
Leahy has not the done the same for Obama and his nominees, thus undercutting the important Senate rules change in November that prevented a minority of senators from blocking any executive nomination. Blue slips, or the lack thereof, have held up 11 judicial nominees; there are also 30 vacancies with no nominees because it is clear that a Republican senator would object.
The administration has been reduced to nominating a few unpalatable judges in the hopes of cutting deals. Texas has nine court vacancies, but its two senators wont work with the White House on any nominees.
It doesnt have to be this way. Leahy claims that the Senate will always defer to home-state senators. But if he were to eliminate the practice, he would force senators to raise their objections publicly.
Now they hide behind a procedure that allows them to block able nominees because they want one of their cronies to get the job, or dont want liberals or minorities on the bench or are afraid that any appearance of collaboration would rile the tea party.
Senators with real complaints should state them on the floor and hope to persuade a majority. At the moment, unfortunately, Republicans believe they have a serious chance of regaining the Senate in November, and they seem to have no interest in approving any of Obamas judicial nominations through the end of his term.

Five police agencies got involved Sunday after an altercation at the Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area in Kosciusko County.
Paul J. Miller, 43, of Cromwell, was arrested Sunday, charged with resisting arrest with a motor vehicle and driving with a suspended license, according to a statement issued Tuesday by Indiana conservation officers.
According to reports, an officer tried to speak with Miller at Tri-County but the man fled to his home on North Biscayne Lane in a Ford box truck, followed by officers from the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, North Webster Police Department, Syracuse Police Department and the Ligonier Police Department, as well as two conservation officers.
The police said Miller refused to get out of the truck, locking his doors and rolling up the windows. Officers got inside by smashing a window and unlocking a door, the statement said.
Miller was shot with a Taser and arrested, the police said.
His truck was impounded.
