This is by no means intended as a moment of relief from the building tension, but our timing isn`t without a sense of humor. Assuming that all eyes are set on Samsung to, again, deliver the godfather of Android smartphones, the one we`re about to review is more like the...grandfather. It may seem quite unfortunate for the Galaxy Grand that a week from now it`ll be yesterday`s news. But on a second thought, it has a better insurance policy against...
Verdict: Going by the sheer screen size of the Galaxy Grand, Samsung is obviously looking to cater to a crowd that wants the most recent trend in smartphones. The catch is that it`s a certain set of users that would love the extra real estate but not pay a pr...

Pros: Dual SIM device with two-source voice and data usage ; Good pictures and video
Verdict: We thought we`ll be throwing up as soon as we see 480x800 WVGA resolution on a 5u201d screen, but in reality it is pretty usable for everyday tasks. The rest of the specs are adequate as we have a decent dual-core processor, a well-performing 8 MP ca...
To compete with these, Samsung has launched the Galaxy Grand Duos, though it has been priced at Rs. 21,500. Is it the `Samsung` brand value or does the device really live up to user expectations? We take a look. At 9.6mm, the Galaxy Grand Duos is pretty thick and feels quite bulky as well weighing 162 grams. Those blessed with little hands will find it tiring to carry the device around. But the overall build quality of the device is quite sturdy,...
It's not easy finding a high-end dual-SIM phone from a top-tier manufacturer. The only one available in the market until recently was the HTC Desire SV, which is a well-designed and built handset with an impressive spec sheet but is heavily crippled in the multimedia department due to its chipset. This leaves the playground wide open for the just launched Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos, which has been making a lot of noise in the market. We quit...

The summer heat means more people will be hitting the beach, and a proposal to put life rings on the south pier in St. Joseph at Silver Beach County Park is moving forward.
According to our reporting partners at WSJM Radio, the Berrien County board of commissioners will take up the issue at a June 13 meeting.
County officials say the rings were taken off the pier in the mid 1990's because of liability issues and theft.
Four of the county commissioners want those put back and 911 call boxes installed.

LeBron James's Amazing Dunk Proves He Would Win Any Dunk Contest Ever

My week is going pretty good so far!
Spring has sprung here. We have had a few days in the 60s, quite a bit of rain yesterday and the daffodils & crocuses are blooming in the yard. It is nice to see a bit of color out there!
I have a few afghans on the hook and a Camille shawl, a simple cowl....Plain Vest and a Comfy Kimono on my needles. I am working on the sleeves of the Comfy Kimono{ http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/60086AD.html?noImages=0 } and trying to decide if I want to do the ties or use buttons. What do you think?
Nothing completed this week...maybe by next week! ;)
I am going to work hard on finishing my WIPs except the afghans before starting something new. I am thinking about a shawl or jacket for the Spring!
Happy Knitting & Crocheting!

Vikings List 8 On Week's Initial Injury ReportPosted by on September 15, 2010 – 2:26 pm
The Vikings have 8 players listed on this week's initial injury report but none of them were held out of practice on Wednesday. The Miami Dolphins came out of Week 1 pretty healthy and have listed just 3 players on their report.
For the Vikings, the following players were listed as limited participants: CB Chris Cook (knee), CB Cedric Griffin (knee), WR Percy Harvin (hip), DT Jimmy Kennedy (knee) and LT Bryant McKinnie (fiinger) . QB Brett Favre (ankle/back), RB Toby Gerhart (knee) and C John Sullivan (calf) were full participants.
For the Dolphins, DE Ikaika Alama-Francis (illness), LB Channing Crowder (groin) and DE Jared Odrick (ankle) did not participate in practice.

By Frederick Jones on Sep 15, 2010 | Reply
It is a long season. Hopefully the Vikings will play well at home like last year. The Vikings were 9-0 at home, and 4-5 on the road (including the playoffs) last year.
Let's not forget guys like Johnny Unitas, Kurt Warner, Cris Carter, Jim Marshall, and etc., that were rejected by their first team in the NFL. Bad things were said about these guys, and after a time, they wound up starring in the NFL.
You could add Brett Favre to that list, he was traded by the Falcons. The coach thought he was a horrible quarterback!
Have you ever experienced a large crowd cheering for you? I guarantee it makes you stronger. That's one of the things that happens at home games.
By Joe on Sep 15, 2010 | Reply
Thanks Mike. Glad to see Mckinnie had full practice. When I saw him get carted off the field I assumed the worst. That would have sucked. Gerhart having full practice is great too.
By Loomis on Sep 15, 2010 | Reply
Yeah Mckinnie got carted of the field for a finger injury, What a TERD !!
By PurplePeopleEater on Sep 15, 2010 | Reply
No kidding, if he would have sprained his ankle they might have just brought in a body bag.
By Tracker on Sep 15, 2010 | Reply
Yeah about McKinnie though I saw the pictures and the surgery he had to have done and it was pretty brutal, he has them on his Twitter account. I can't blame him for coming out as long as he's back next week 100%.
By paul on Sep 15, 2010 | Reply
How is McKinnie going to play? with a broken finger he's going to have a hard time holding.
By moorevikes on Sep 15, 2010 | Reply

It sure looks like we need some type of receivers. The Vikes looked out of time last week when it came to passing or was it that the current group of of receivers are not fast enough. I dont have the answer for that since I am not coaching them.
By PurplePeopleEater on Sep 16, 2010 | Reply
rocksalt – Nope, had to be Harvin (or some other active receiver). With Sidney on the PUP list the rules state that he can't even be a partial participant.

A little about me...
I am looking to find that very special person to continue my life's journey with. I am fun-loving, sincere, honest, passionate,and like spontaneity.I'm the type of partner who will surprise you with a weekend getaway at the coast to snuggle, listen to the crashing waves or walk on the beach hand in hand. I consider myself easy going, with a great sense of humor. I love the outdoors; the sights, the smells and the energy! I am past the "playing games" stage; I am who I am! I love the intimacy that a relationship can bring; I like to cuddle and be cuddled; I like to show affection and have affection shown to me. I like to dance in the kitchen, walk barefoot on the beach, and look up at the starlit sky...but preferably not alone. I am ready to start this journey and am open to new things!
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for that special someone who is kind, caring, affectionate, strong, gentle, a good communicator, energetic, spontaneous, loves to laugh, and more; honest, trusting, trustworthy, very loving and compassionate; a best friend, lover, companion,and partner.Phew...okay...breathe. Honesty is a must no matter how bad the truth would hurt. Someone that has a positive attitude, always looking for solutions, not problems. Someone who is confident and is not afraid to communicate his feelings or thoughts and someone who can make me laugh. Someone I can share "ahhh" moments with and someone who believes that age is just a number. There is so much more life to live.
I'd just like to add...
You can ask me ANYTHING!!

Gov. Rick Scott's white paper says state agencies need to cut costs
Governor says every agency in state "should be able to find efficiencies"
Published: October 30, 2013
But that sort of colloquial kitchen-table cost-cutting logic doesn't always work out for the betterment of Joe and Joanne Taxpayer. Last week, national watchdog group Good Jobs First released a report that highlighted, among other vaguely privatized state agencies across the country, Enterprise Florida, the corporate-incentive-making machine that has for nearly two decades failed to produce the jobs it has promised.
"Taxpayers are best served by experienced public-agency employees who are fully covered by ethics and conflicts laws, open records acts, and oversight by auditors and legislators," the report read. And maybe not so much by agencies where, as the Orlando Sentinel reported, the CEO is about to get a raise from $230,000 a year to $275,000, with an added $100,000 in bonuses. Does that smell like efficiency?
Regardless, both Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, and House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, appear to be falling right in line with the Governor's alleged belt-tightening (but only for poor people), even though they have no idea what the governor has in mind yet.
"In general I believe it is always good fiscal policy to look for ways to make government more efficient," beauhunk Weatherford grunted to The Florida Current. "It's hard for me to comment on the governor's budget until we see details, but I know he has the state's best interest in mind as he governs."

Here's a "future" pose of two BlackBerry Z10 L-series smartphone dominating the poor toy in the latest spotting by Business Insider! Though we have already seen this upcoming BB10 model almost in every angle by now, this leak directs the unknown placement of career branding. In the image above, we find USA's Verizon network logo on top-left corner of the phone dropping the old fashioned mid-bottom style. Apart from revealing the new designing concept, the lucky source who received these devices for test run over AT&T & Verizon network has also shared his initial impressions of the upcoming milestone.
- The build quality is really nice. The back cover feels rubbery and snaps on sort of like the back cover on Samsung's Galaxy S III.
- The screen looks great.
- The web browser is very quick, just as fast as a desktop browser. It also supports Flash.
- You can set up separate profiles for work and personal use. This is good for people who want to use one phone for business and play.
- It integrates with Evernote.
- The new AppWorld store looks a lot like the Google Play store for Android apps.
- It only takes one minute to boot up.

I just love ALL yours cards. I myself purchased the Wild Card Cartridge, but I have yet to figure out how to use it. hee hee
It there some kind of trick to making the cards with this cartridge?
I'm trying to figure out how to make the Christmas tree card with the cartridge.

If you can give me a clue on what I need to do to get the Christmas Card made I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, Linda

Hi Linda, I don't think there is a christmas tree cut on the cartridge, I think you are looking at the tree that comes on the envelope for the christmas bauble card. There is a list of the sizes on the blog, look under labels at wildcard sizes. The first cut you see on your page, left hand side is the card, the upper drawing is of the envelope that matches it.
Hope this helps

Alice In Chains Sludge Factory Lyrics
Last updated: 01/05/2014 03:18:41 PM
You insult me in my home, you're forgiven this time
Things go well, your eyes dilate, you shake, and I'm high?
Look in my eyes deep and watch the clouds change with time
20 hours won't print my picture milk carton size
Carton size, carton size, carton size
Call me up congratulations ain't the real why
There's no pressure besides brilliance let's say by day 9
Endless corporate ignorance lets me control time
By the way, by the way, by the way, by the way
Once again you see an in discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle, out a date for me
Now the body of one soul I adore wants to die
You have always told me you'd not live past 25
I say stay long enough to repay all who cause strife
Once again you see an in discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle, out a date for me
Once again you seen an in, discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle, out a date for me
Thanks to Caveman for submitting Sludge Factory Lyrics.
Tar: the real sludge | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/5/14
Layne was the lead vocals of AiC and none can compare, Jerry wrote this
song with most of their music, Layne did cowrite some but the majority of his input came in the form of how and when he sang the words expressing the feelings vocally, he was a bad ass. Jerry writes about Layne coming to his house after being incognito and getting high when he claims to be clean, says his shot hit right and the rush comes on.......And I'm high? Layne was claiming to be sober, but still using so he tries to flip it.. Look into my eyes deep.... im tieed of this and I'm starting to give up. The carton picture refers to him basically blowing off Jerrys concerns about his reclusiveness, saying disappearing for a day is nothing to worry about. He Talks about the calling to congratulate on but really making sure he hasnt relapsed yet, by day nine the physical aspects of withdrawl are gone so the label really wanting to get back to work, but they allow him to control the time frame and he continues to use. His tracks give it away, high and scared of losing his band he gurgles another date of sobriety . Most say the last verse now one soul i Adore wants to die....refers to his girl, but i see it as Jerry accepting his friend is consumed with this addiction and they both know the only way he will be able to shake heroin, by death. In short this song was the story of one mans blinding addiction and his close friends attempts to salvage his life from black tar heroin that is so widely available in Seattle. I see it this way because I continue to fight this battle with my friends and family almost daily as I have used for years now. If your not familiar black tar is obviously black as well as extremely sticky. The "Sludge Factory" is referring to the user and his body is like a factokr
Sludge factory | Reviewer: Melyssa | 10/11/13
The first part of this song is about a junkie shooting another junkie up and get'n off on it!! It's called stealing a high! " your eyes dilalate you shake I'm HIGH " the first time I ever heard that I was like, "wow, he just put that out there!" No matter what he did in life he was an amazing creator!!! BEAUTIFUL!!
yes and no | Reviewer: ricc | 11/12/11
I agree with what everyone else has to say about what this song means.
I've been a musician my whole life and the lyrics definitely apply to the whorehouse that is the music industry BUT, it could apply to anyone else's life as well. Waiting for your boss to give you that promotion you've already earned? "So afraid to kindly gurgle out a date for me" Someone disrespects you? "You insult me in my home you're forgiven this time?" AIC always has a way of expressing things in such a way that you or me or anyone else could just as easily say it. That's how you separate musicians from people that want to be famous. Really. Sing along to this song and tell me you don't tense up. That's because they meant what they wrote.
The meaning | Reviewer: effjay | 9/22/11
I think this song has to do with the music buisness and how it is a "Sludge Factory". "You kindly gurgle out a date for me" and "this corporate ignorance let's me control time" is a music boss asking when the record will be done and his ignorance let's Layne control the time that it's finished. Layne also got the rep from the music label high in the beginning of the song. "Your eyes dialate and I'm high?"
That's the way I look at it. The rep's weapon is guilt about not finishing the record on time. "Your weapon is guilt!"
Song lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/24/09
I've a better understanding of it now after reading the other interpretations. Obviously drug addiction plays a part in the song but I also think there's an element of alienation in it and that's reflected in the spoken word section, i.e.: "vultures, liars and thieves.....", and "the breaking of the spirit thwarts the whole being". Was the spoken word section intentionally omitted from the CD inlay or the record sleeve cuz it kinda sounded random in a way, or was it too long to print?
Amazing anaology of layne trying to make sense of himself | Reviewer: Junkhead | 7/25/09
This is layne trying to make sense of himself his life his past and years of drug abuse and loss and in himself he finds that he is more confusing inside. And let's the confusion out. It's a simple way of expressing his beautiful soul and the way it works. Props to jerry mike and sean for making it sound awsome as well. Love the song!!!!!!!
1996-06-30 | Reviewer: aic | 1/24/09
Thanks for the add of the final part of the song! :]
And I have to say that it's so easy to say that Layne fucked up the lyrics during the unplugged because of his problems... I disagree with that.
On the 1996-06-30 show (opening for Kiss), which is probably one of the most powerfull AiC's show ever, Layne forgot part of the lyrics on Sludge Factory too. I mean, 2 times he whould have messed it up because of addiction? no i don't think...
Sometimes, even if you've written the stuff, there are some parts you can confuse with another one... and because of that, you stop singing.
Great, but missing lyrics. | Reviewer: Chris | 11/6/08
At the end you're missing the lyrics to his ominous spoken word part.
i bear true and an existing witness
To this barrel of monkeys.
A self proclaimed immoral success,
Perfected by each whereof
Individually deadly and equally so
And spread about the surrendered troops,
For even thousands of miles will not
Tear apart their communication, or the lack thereof.
Vultures, liars, thieves, each proclaim their innocence
In no suggestion or rhyme, your weapon is contained in
The wrecking of the keeping the desired effect.
The breaking of the spirit thwarts the whole being.
Your weapon is guilt, your weapon is guilt, your weapon is guilt.
its sad | Reviewer: Megan | 10/23/07
its just sad how he messed up on this song in the unplugged dvd, i mean he helped WRITE the song. it just showed how much closer to death he was really getting.
rip Layne.
my favorite band | Reviewer: ron.h | 3/25/07
i love the unplugged version of this song as well,layne was like an angel singing to me and im gonna miss him more everyday that goes by see you when i get there layne!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Magnificent | Reviewer: Orr | 3/3/07
The unplugged version is awesome, especially for Layne's vocals. I miss you Layne!
powerful | Reviewer: Justin Switalski | 10/29/05
I like this song for many reasons the main one of which pretains to the unplugged version of this song if you havent heard it you should. Layne puts everything he has vocally,into this song im sure you will feel the same way as i do about this one.

Mayor Robert Cluck joined the chorus of city officials across Texas in saying that federal sequestration is expected to have a significant impact on services including public housing, municipal airport operations, education and public safety.Cluck, who was in Washington D.C. to talk with congress members about the ramifications of the sweeping federal budget cuts, told MSNBC's The Daily Rundown Wednesday that Arlington is facing closure of the municipal airport's traffic control tower and cuts to the Section 8 public housing for about 200 households."It will not be the first day but within a year we will have a $3 million hit to our budget," Cluck said. "That's a lot of money for a community."Texas would be one of the most severely affected by job losses, standing to lose almost 99,000 defense jobs and 60,500 non-defense jobs, according to a report prepared by the Texas House of Representatives in January. The first of $85 billion in cuts to federal programs could begin Friday.During the MSNBC interview, Cluck said he was not willing to accept any federal budget cuts that would negatively impact Arlington. But Cluck added he was not interested in raising the city's property tax rate, which has stayed the same the past decade, to make up for the lost funding either."Our budget is tight. Certainly it is," Cluck said. "We work very carefully with our budget to make sure we don't have a deficit ever."Broad funding cutsAccording to a city analysis, Arlington could see a 5.3 percent -- or $3 million -- reduction to all of its federally funded programs, said city spokeswoman Rebecca Rodriguez. Possible cuts include certain police equipment, such as bulletproof vests, police overtime for drug and human trafficking enforcement and funding for nonprofit agencies that serve the city.As part of the federal sequester, the Arlington Municipal Airport's traffic control tower could also close April 1. The Federal Aviation Administration funds about seven traffic controllers and a manager to operate the tower from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. The city does not have the funding to take over that operation itself, Airport Manager Karen VanWinkle said.The municipal airport itself would continue operating but pilots will no longer have the assistance of the sophisticated traffic management system that's been available to them since the grant-funded control tower opened seven years ago."We will still have landings and departures but our traffic management system goes back to everyone watching out for everyone else," VanWinkle said.Arlington's control tower is one of 189 traffic control towers operated by the FAA nationwide that face closure. VanWinkle said she expects the reliever airport will lose business without being able to offer pilots controlled airspace."We have 20 businesses out here that depend on the runway," said VanWinkle, saying an estimated 700 workers are employed at the airport. "The impact is going to be harsh."Looking for compromiseThe sequester could also affect as many as 2,000 households in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that receive rental housing assistance, said David Zappasodi, Arlington Housing Authority executive director. Arlington has about 200 of the potentially impacted households, Zappasodi said.The city and the housing authority would "do everything possible to less the impact on its program participants" if federal assistance is slashed, Zappasodi said. About 48 percent of people in Arlington's Housing Choice Voucher Program (commonly referred to as Section 8 rental housing assistance) are elderly or disabled, 48 percent are considered "working poor" and 4 percent have no income, he added."We are hopeful that the Congress will find a way to responsibly address the federal budget and avoid indiscriminate across-the-board funding cuts," Zappasodi said.The Texas Education Agency's estimated reduction of $517.6 million is the most significant agency cut but officials with the Arlington Independent School District didn't know Thursday specifically what that could mean locally.Higher education would also be affected. The University of Texas system predicts that research funding would be reduced between $114 million to $123 million annually across all institutions.Fort Worth Chief Financial Officer Horatio Porter said basic city services in Fort Worth won't be impacted by sequestration because those services are funded by local dollars."We do receive some grants that augment some of our programs, but none that have an immediate (impact) on the services we provide to our citizens," he said.The Texas Municipal League also warns the sequester will affect other city-related programs, such as infrastructure projects, job training, public safety and transportation, that are supported by federal funds."Compromise. That is all I'm asking for," Cluck said on MSNBC. "When they sit there and yell at each other and do nothing to solve the problem, that really bothers me. That bothers a lot of people."- Staff writer Anna M. Tinsley contributed to this report, which contains material from the Houston Chronicle.Susan Schrock, 817-709-7578Twitter: @susanschrock

Vista Verde Ranch, Steamboat Springs, Colorado, late January 2014 (outtakes).
If you are looking for a winter break in a breathtaking part of the world, pack your thermals and ski gear and head for Vista Verde Ranch in Colorado (my article from our visit earlier this year is here).

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- As the clock counts down to the new year, Huntington Police are stepping up patrols to keep everyone safe.
If you head out to a bar, you'll notice more of a police presence.
Meanwhile, bar managers are also beefing up security for the big night.
As many people toast to 2014 at bars throughout Huntington, Marlita Cadogan will be elsewhere.
"It's just not safe to do anymore, you hear about people getting shot and it's just unsafe situations," Cadogan said.
Just weeks ago, a dramatic shooting left one man dead at Shoop's Bar in Huntington.
It's the type of situation Cadogan said she wants to avoid.
"I've been in Huntington for seven years and I've seen quite a bit go down, and it's just not worth risking," said Cadogan.
Huntington Police said they'll have more officers on patrol, with targeted areas near downtown bars to keep you safe.
On top of that, bar managers are also taking action.
"We have five bouncers here, we've got two managers, three door guys. We've got plenty of security for tonight," said Fat Patty's Manager James Anderson.
At Fat Patty's in Huntington, managers are prepping for their seventh annual New Year's Eve celebration.
They expect about 250 guests.
"We just don't want something to get out of hand," Anderson said.
Bar workers said mixing drinks, excitement and a lot of people can mean danger.
But, they're taking precautions.
"We are going to try to make sure we have a couple of taxis here on hand to make sure they do get home safely," Anderson said.
Still, some people like Cadogan said they'll ring in 2014 at their own party: safe and sound.
"I'd rather actually live to see the new year," Cadogan said.

Leos land Elliott for backup QB role
Tryout in Las Vegas led B.C. to give Winnipeg pivot another shot at a job in the CFL
Lowell Ullrich, The ProvincePublished: Friday, May 24, 2013
There are few relevant accolades when you are out of work and quarterbacks are scheduled to report in less than a week, which is why Joey Elliott jumped at the chance to return to the CFL with the B.C. Lions.
The 26-year-old who spent the last three seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers agreed to terms on a free-agent contract, The Province has learned. The offer was made to contest the backup job to Travis Lulay, said general manager Wally Buono, because Elliott recently worked out for the club in Las Vegas, and didn't try to suggest he need not be evaluated.
"He didn't say he was a (CFL) player of the week twice. That shows me that maybe this is the type of person we want," Buono said. The Las Vegas workout was going to be the end for Elliott, who had a coaching job lined up at Louisiana State University. Now it's as if he is starting anew.
Former Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Joey Elliott is getting another shot at the CFL with the B.C. Lions, a team he nearly beat as a backup with the blue and gold last season.
The Canadian Press Files
"After you get released and are out for a couple of months, you start thinking about what you want to do with your life," Elliott said Thursday. "I thought I had to take one more opportunity. It's really cool that it's worked out."
It's a departure of form for the Lions, who have routinely developed their own quarterbacks, but were about to enter the season with sophomore Thomas DeMarco as their only alternative to Lulay.
Elliott threw for 2,101 yards last year in Winnipeg, which was in a constant search looking for a healthy alternative to Buck Pierce, but an unfavourable interception ratio and knee issues precipitated his release.
Nonetheless, the Lions see a quarterback who led the Bombers to two wins last year, including a road victory against Montreal, not to mention
GET SOCIAL WITH PERKS a starter who was within a minute of beating B.C. in Winnipeg. Quarterbacks convene for pre-camp sessions in Surrey starting Monday.
The two seasons spent with three NFL teams by Emmanuel Arce-neaux was not a waste of time, but the 25-year-old Lions receiver also wasn't successful getting teams to drop the label which effects every undrafted free agent trying to make it in four-down football.
"Don't label a guy as a CFL guy," said Arceneaux, who was at the club's Surrey facility Thursday for the first time since agreeing to return to the Lions earlier this week.
Arceneaux said he was aware that NFL teams viewed him as an undrafted free agent, and said it hindered his attempt to gain significant work with the Minnesota Vikings, Washington Redskins and New York Jets.
"But you put on tape and you see there was no separation between me and a guy who was drafted in the first round," he said. "I wouldn't say it was all about ability. It's all about the athlete looking for an opportunity."
The Lions tried to get Arceneaux to sign a three-year contract but the receiver will only be 27 when his CFL contract is compete after the 2014 season. But his signing has prompted a couple of moves.
Wideout Justin Harper, obtained
in the trade with Saskatchewan Roughriders, was released after a sub-standard mini-camp workout in Surrey last month, while Courtney Taylor, one of the receivers counted to replace Geroy Simon and Arland Bruce, has agreed to a two-year contract extension.

text: Will Demographic Shifts Boost Christianity and Hurt Atheism? Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 27 May 2014 post a comment A British geneticist is saying that atheism could face a decline in Europe as Christians continue to experience a growth in population while Europe's atheist populations decline. Steve Jones, a professor in genetics at University College London's Galton Laboratory, spoke at this month's Hay Literary Festival where he pointed out that Europeans have a falling birth rate while Christians in countries like Africa have a rising rate. Europe, Jones notes, is not doing well at "replacing its population." "We atheists sometimes congratulate ourselves that the incidence of religious belief is going down," he said. "But religious people have more children," Jones continued. "Where are people having the most children? It's in the tropics and in Africa. It's clearly the case that the future will involve an increase in religious populations and a decrease in scepticism. We may not need more scientists but more theologists." The decline in Europe's population has been a much-discussed topic. Author Joel Kotkin, for instance, wrote, "Europe's economic disaster is both reflected – and is largely caused by – a demographic decline that, if not soon reversed, all but guarantees the continent's continued slide." Columnist Mark Steyn has also written about this "demographic time bomb" in his 2008 book, America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It. Professor Jones, however, is not one of those militant atheists who oppose religion tooth and nail. In fact, Jones has recently written a book, The Serpent's Promise: The Bible Retold as Science, that attempts to meld science and religion into a unified theory for how to lead one's life. "The Bible is a handbook for understanding Nature and, in its own way, it succeeds," the book's publicity release states. "As a factual account, of course, it is out of date, but many of its statements can be rephrased in modern terms." Jones also says he recognizes the importance of Christianity. During his comments he said the "New Testament was one of the greatest political documents ever written." He then said, "Our entire society is based on tenets of the New Testament."

Grand Hotel Lyrics - Procol Harum
Tonight we sleep on silken sheets
We drink fine wine and eat rare meats
On Carousel and gambling stake
Our fortunes speed, and dissipate.
It's candlelight and chandelier,
It's silver plate and crystal clear.
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand
Tonight we dine at Hotel Ritz.
(A golden dish with every wish ).
It's mirrored walls, and velvet drapes,
Dry champagne, and bursting grapes.
Dover sole, and Oeufs Mornay,
Profiteroles and Peach Flambe,
The waiters dance on fingertips
The nights we dine at Hotel Ritz
One more toast to greet the morn
The wine and dine have danced till dawn
Where's my Continental Bride?
We'll Continental slip and slide
Early morning pinch and bite -
(These French girls always like to fight)
It's serenade and Sarabande,
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand
Les nuits qu'on passe à l'Hotel Grande.

Giving your time and talent is one of the most rewarding ways you can support the mission of
Bright Beginnings.
Volunteer today!
Have you ever wondered where children living in shelters go during the day? Where do they learn? Where do they play? Where do they go to feel safe? Bright Beginnings understands the special needs of young children and families living in homeless environments. Our safe, nurturing, developmentally-appropriate childcare for homeless infants, toddlers and preschoolers helps them reach important childhood milestones, while we help their parents to end their homelessness.
Operation Thankful 2014:
During the holiday season, many BBI parents do not have the means to provide a Thanksgiving meal for their children. This means, uncertainty and hunger during a time that should represent comfort and joy. Every year we work to eliminate the stress of meal planning, by partnering up with the community to provide healthy and accessible dinners. Help us supply families with dinner essentials such as:
- Canned goods (corn, green beans, cranberry sauce, yams, gravy)
- Boxed nonperishables (mashed potatoes, stuffing, macaroni and cheese)
- Additional Items needed: Gift cards from Giant, Harris Teeter or Safeway to be used for the purchasing of turkeys.
- On Wednesday, November 26th, staff will distribute canned goods or gift cards to every BBI family.
Bright Beginnings Honored with District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education's Achievement Night of the Stars Award
Throughout our 24 year history, Bright Beginnings' mission has always centered around the educational and emotional development of DC's most vulnerable children. The uniqueness of Bright Beginnings is evident in many ways; from our home visiting pilot, to parent engagement and certainly our education component. We strive to provide the best resources for children every day of the year. Bright Beginnings is honored to have received the District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education's Achievement Night of the Stars Award on Tuesday, October, 21st. This award recognizes programs that exceeded the District's ranking on their cumulative scores for CLASS, Pre-K, ITERS or FICERS. The BBI's Education Team, comprised of Education Manager, Yasmin Shaffi and Master Teacher, Carolyn Watson-Pruitt accepted this prestigious accolade on behalf of Bright Beginnings, Inc.
Employee Spotlight
Pre-K teacher Tara Perry has been educating and empowering Bright Beginnings' children for 15 years. Her dedication and enthusiasm for the job is essential to the success of this organization. Ms. Perry will represent Bright Beginnings this fall at the National Black Child Development Institute's (NBCDI) 44th Annual Conference, "Bright Past, Better Future: Remember and Rise Up!" It is through conferences such as the NBCDI that we become an even stronger and better-equipped organization that stands ready and prepared to educate children in these challenging times. Thank you, Tara, for your commitment to Bright Beginnings.

Jury is out on Chico's 'sit-lie' ordinance effects
Chico's controversial "sit-lie" or "civil sidewalks" ordinance has been in place for about two months and if the number of citations handed out are any indicator it's doing the trick, but they may not tell the whole story.
The ordinance was approved in November of last year and has been in effect since December.
It prohibits sitting or lying on sidewalks, curbs or streets between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.
At the time it was passed, city councilors said it was a tool for police to curb what they call "anti-social" behavior downtown.
Since it's been in effect, officers have handed out as many as a dozen warnings but no citations.
Lieutenant David Britt with the Chico Police Department says that's a good sign, but the winter months typically drive people indoors and out of Chico altogether so it may not paint the whole picture.
"So far we haven't had a repeat offender that we've had to end up citing. So, I'd say successful on the side that they're moving along and they're not repeating the act," said Lt. Britt. "I think we really won't have a good feel for that until the weather warms up and we see what we're like in those spring and summer months."
If a person is cited they face a $100 fine for the first offense with fines increasing a hundred dollars for each subsequent offense within a given year.
Lieutenant Britt also says the aim of the ordinance isn't to hand out a bunch of fines.
Instead, they hope to use it like they've used the city's camping ordinance, by letting offenders know what they're doing is actually wrong with that alone keeping them from doing it in the future.

which island has the best food in the caribbean?
- pamplemouse Apr 22, 2010 03:54 PM
trying to figure out where to go for our honeymoon in november and would like to stay somewhere that has great local food, excluding puerto rico, jamaica, and dominican. not looking for anything too precious, i am assuming (and correct me if i'm wrong) that better "gourmet" food can be found in the states. where would you go if it was based on food alone?
re: crewsweeper
You're bad.....daytime bar food, conch fritters and the like with a Heineken, is better in Phillipsburg on the leeward side around the marina, later Marigot for dinner after cleaning up. Cupecoy used to be my fave. Always fun to drive the ring road in a jeep and sniff out the roadside fare. Orient? I have the keel, alright, but the main sail doesn't set like the days of old.
Sint Maarten/St Martin has the most upscale restaurants in the Caribbean. Many of them are on the French side in Grand Case.
re: southernitalian
I have traveled to most of the Caribbean islands and Anguilla's dining the most diverse and imho the best. Some examples include Luna Rosa, Veya, Koal Keel, Picante, Hibernia, and Malliouhana to name a few. I cannot wait to try Jacala in June for my 4th trip to AXA.
re: southernitalian
southernitalian & phelana, OP said no PR. . .
Jamaica dining was so so for me. Local eats for sure amazing...Jerk cannot compare. San Juan has some great chefs. Pikayo, Pamela's, Dragonfly to name a few I have loved. If you have a choice consider French Sint Martin, St. Barths or Anguilla for amazing dining.
Great "local" food is the key here. I personally wouldn't go on a Caribbean food adventure wanting to be served by a "chef". You can get haughty cuisine in many countries...and you might as well do that here in the States. Hopefully you'll find the right island that can offer you great local cuisine.
The most outstanding food can be found on Trinidad & Tobago. Trinidad isn't exactly a tourist/honeymoon destination. The sister island of Tobago offers more along the lines of vacationers, but I'm not sure of restaurant options there. Street food is the way to go in most Caribbean countries...or find a good local fete to attend.
Best of luck on the quest.
I know you are excluding Puerto Rico but there is an island off the coast of Puerto Rico called Culebra. Some of the world's most beautiful beaches, no 5 star dining here but great local food nonetheless. But if you are looking for some seclusion I highly recommend Culebra. Only locals know about this island and if you go you will see that many of the people that live there are Americans that fell in love with the place and stayed there.
Bequia is the choice of this sailing family. Pick up a mooring, take your dinghy ashore and follow your nose. You can fly into St. Vincent and take a ferry over if you'd like. Bequia has a number of charming B&Bs, villas and so on but its vibe is low-key and strictly its own. Plenty of good places to eat/drink, all within walking distance of each other.
re: steve h.
Steve, I love Bequia..so charming. I don't recall it being a main culinary destination but its been awhile..I betcha they have great local eats. I recall Macs Pizza but otherwise nothing stood out for me...
re: phelana
The EC can be a culinary experience for intrepid travelers. Sitting back, waiting for good stuff to come to you implies a resort. I'm not fond of resorts.
re: steve h.
Indeed Steve..think Oistens Fish Fry in the Gap in Barbados..street food in the EC islands...BBQ, goat water, coconut water, fish fry..wow..
Great local food - hmmm, I've been to several Caribbean Islands and while there are great local dishes, I would not say in general there is not great local cuisine. The cracked conch or conch burgers in the Abacos, stewed conch in the BVI, bbq ribs at a lolo in St Martin are wonderful and I love eating them, but if you're going on your honeymoon and want to have a new great food experience every day, go to St Barths. The french influence permeates everything. If you stay away from the high end classic french places, you will find wonderful food infused with Caribbean flavor. The classic french stuff is great too, but no different than what you would find in NYC or Boston. And St Barths is also just a wonderful place to be. If St Barth is a bit too dear in price, than Grand Case/Marigot in St Martin comes close.
Hi there! Just curious to see what you ended up doing for your honeymoon...
I was searching the CH boards for ideas for our honeymoon in November (this year) and have similar inquiries as you did. Hopefully you had a great time where ever you decided to go and came back with some rec's!
re: CldSkndNdle
Hi CldSkndNdle, picking up on this old thread. As I stated in my previous post, I highly recommend St Barts. Went there for our honeymoon many years ago and have been back several times in additon to visits to many other islands. Nothing else compares to the quality and diversity of food. The island is also a very unique place. Its got great beaches to go with the gallic style.
re: Bkeats
Thanks for the tip! Any particular places to stay that really stand out in your mind?
re: CldSkndNdle
I liked St. Barths well but it's VERY small...I prefer Anguilla..not huge but good size, easy to navigate and there a plethora of amazing places to dine.......let us know where you end up..happy traveling and eating..
re: CldSkndNdle
SBH is quite small and there are only a few hotels on the island. By law, nothing can be more than 2 stories so the places are small and intimate. We stayed at the Guanahani on our honeymoon. The price range at the hotels is moderate to nose bleed levels. I would put Normandie as moderate and Eden Rock or Le Toiny at the other end. If you can't afford to stay at the latter two, you should try to eat at either of them. We rent a villa now when we go for the room and privacy. I would suggest you check out www.sbhonline.com to do some research. Read the stuff on the forums, ask questions, you will get a lot of info on where to stay and dine.
I agree with JayL, Trinidad & Tobago offers a rich fare of cuisine: Chinese, Indian (North, South, and a local twist), Creole, Middle Eastern, Brazilian, Thai, Japanese - with a range that suits the hoi polloi eating by the roadside vendors right up to high brow dining at the 5 star restaurants.
Barbados comes close for quality (they offer good creole and international cuisine), but is too expensive in comparison IMHO, and doesnt have the variety offered in T&T.

Chouquet's Restaurant Restaurant Review: By day, this casual-yet-sleek Euro bistro is filled with light from big pane windows, and its outdoor seating draws a number of diners happy to have lunch alfresco. In the evening, the lights dim and candlelight dances off the cozy rows of couples seated in cool modern chairs over contemporary wooden tables. The cuisine is hearty and straightforward, primarily French by way of California. An unexpected treasure is an exciting beer and wine list composed of smaller-quantity and lesser-known labels; let your server suggest pairings to get the most out of your meal. Appetizers are appealing, and a standout is a cool and creamy tower built with chunks of Dungeness crab, celery and avocado with a frilly hat of frisée. Many entrées lean towards lighter fare, such as steamed salmon or an herb-stuffed chicken breast, while others such as duck breast feature sauces more sweet than nuanced. Desserts include a groovy floating island, with its small sea of thin custard sauce, fun and flirtatious.

TV veteran Dan Schneider's list of phrases he never wants to hear on TV again. Thanks for sharing!
It's not easy writing a good sitcom script. A bad one, on the other hand, seems to come naturally for many writers.
Ergo, "Hank." (Or should that be, "R.I.P., 'Hank'"?)
One of the hallmarks of a crappy comedy episode is the inclusion of at least three cliched sitcom fallback lines. You know, those cliches you've heard repeatedly on multiple shows and even in movies.
Like when a character states something glaringly obvious ("Hey, that rain outside is getting pretty heavy") and another character shoots back a snarky, "Ya THINK!?")
Thankfully, one Hollywood writer/producer has begun a rebellion of sorts against such hack writing. At the very least, he's admitted his peers have a problem.
The brave soul is none other than Dan Schneider, who first shot to fame as one of the smart-aleck kids on 1980s sitcom "classic" "Head of the Class."
Schneider, avoiding the Adam Rich/Danny Bonaduce track, morphed into a super-successful TV producer by specializing in kiddie and tween-centric shows (latest hit: "iCarly") after he grew up. He also likes to Tweet and blog.
Recently, Schneider — writing on his DanWarp blog — posted the following list of 16 fallback phrases he wishes would be banned in 2010.
At one point, some of these were probably funny. Now, they've been worn into the ground like a Black Eyed Peas song.
By the way, Schneider's post isn't condescending towards his fellow scribes whatsover. He even admits he might have trouble avoiding some of the lines on the list (specifically, the word "really.")
(Thankfully, those of us who toil in print never use cliches. Nope.)
Anyway, here's Schneider's hack hit list… along with four more phrases we'd like to see banned, too.
1. "Not so much" and its even more tired cousin, "Eh, not so much."
2. "Too much information!"
3. "And by [that] I mean [this]."
4. "I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit."
5. "Good times."
6. "Did I say that out loud?"
7. "______ much?" (e.g. "Jealous much?" "Angry much?")
8. "Hey, stop eating my dinner, Eatie McEaterson!" (or any similar phrase that ends in Blank-y McBlankerson).
9. "Really?!" (this one will be the hardest for me to stop using).
10. "It's like a party in my mouth." (in reference to food or drink that tastes good).
11. "Hey, don't go there!"
12. "Burn!" (spoken after someone has delivered an insult).
13. "Alrighty then."
14. "Ya THINK?"
15. "Thanks for sharing."
16. Best. _____. Ever.
The MoJoe additions:
17. "Why don't you tweet that/post it on your Facebook?"
18. "I don't think so!"
19. "Don't make me…" (followed by a character promising something bad/crazy to someone).
20. "That's what she said!"/"Blurg" (applies only to "The Office" and "30 Rock," respectively).
BONUS: Searching the words "sitcom cliche" on Google produced this modestly amusing anti-hack rant from a British (Australian?) sitcom fan/hater. Good times!

help with boyfriend's 30th birthday
what's a special, romantic restaurant for a 30th birthday? i want to try something new, but he's so obsessed with restaurants that we've been to so many already. i was thinking bouley, but a couple of years ago, my coworkers talked me out of making his birthday reservation there because they thought it was overrated. any suggestions? thank you so much!
What are the places he's obsessed with? I just had my 30th and I'm the obsessed one usually. I did my B-day at Tides on the lower east side. Not fancy by any means but really one of the best seafood meals in the city. How about Cru? That's really a great treat. Give some more info and I'm sure people will chime in.
re: JeremyEG
wow, i'm so sorry, i didn't see all of these responses. i hope you guys are still on! he loves great food, but for his bday, i always try to take him somewhere fancy bc it makes it more special, and somewhere he's never been. he really likes french food.
re: JeremyEG
What's the atmosphere like @ Cru? I was looking at the website, and it looks kind of stuffy.
re: Jel212
It is a little stuffy. Well worth it for the food though.
re: JeremyEG
Thanks! I thnk I've decided on The Orchard - food looks good, right atmosphere, prices, and location.
I was at Bouley a few months ago and had a great meal. All of the food was amayzing and the service and decore were great. I think its a very special, romantic restaurant. Ask for a table in the back room, and tell them its his birthday before you go.
re: jdmetz
we love blue hill! it's one of our favorite restaurants! but i'd like to take him somewhere he's never been to before. that's why i was thinking of bouley and maybe chanterelle?
If you let us know which restaurants he has already been then it may be easier for us to give you suggestions.
Both Eleven Madison Park and Bouley are great for celebration. Did you ask your friends why they thought Bouley was overrated? I certainly did not think so.
Another place for celebration is L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon.
re: kobetobiko
i'm so bad at remembering restaurants, but i'll try. we went to l'atelier in paris actually, and loved it! but he actually got a reservation there for the end of the month. we've been to buddakan, mas, cookshop, blue hill, daniel, le bernardin, alain ducasse, the grocery, town, country... like i said, he's really obsessed with restaurants, which is why this is so hard.
re: chow57
How about Annisa? Fleur de Sel? Tocqueville (new location)? Gramercy Tavern (new chef Michael Anthony, formerly of Blue Hill)? The Modern? Aureole? Telepan? Compass? Or heading in a different culinary direction, i.e., modern Italian: L'Impero or Alto? (Same chef)
Since you love Blue Hill, what about Stone Barns?
re: RGR
wow, thank you for all of the suggestions! we were just at tocqueville a couple of weeks ago! and unfortunately, we've been to all of those restaurants, except for maybe compass and aureole. i will definitely check those two out. stone barns is great, but we've been there a couple of times already. have you been to bouley or chanterelle? what did you think?
re: chow57
hi chow57,
Definitely Bouley over chanterelle. I think Bouley is excellent for celebration. Food is terrific, the decor is beautiful and romantic. I wouldn't be surprised if they have the highest number of anniversary celebrations among all fine-dining restaurants in NYC.
That's why I was wondering why your friend said it is overrated. Could you ask him/ her why? I certainly did not think that Bouley was overrated.
re: kobetobiko
hi there, actually, two of my coworkers convinced me to cancel the reservation last year. and although i can't remember exactly what they said, i think they thought the food was not worth the price. but you are definitely making me change my mind. i'm going to look into some of the other great suggestions listed here, but i'm leaning towards bouley. thank you so much for all of your help! should i request the back room there?
re: chow57
Hye, chow57, You've been to just about all the places I listed, and you preface that by saying "unfortunately"?! lol
I'll give it another try... Amalia has been open only a few weeks. We thought the food was delicious! The staff could not have been nicer, and everyone went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of. It's in a converted carriage house (55th St., b/t B'way & 7th Av.), and despite the fact that it's a pretty big place, the way they're divided the space, plus the great decor and perfect lighting make for romantic ambiance. Their website -- http://www.amalia-nyc.com -- is still under construction, but you can view the menu on menupages: http://www.menupages.com/restaurantde...

If you haven't been to Tocqueville, I think he'd LOVE it! The new space is really dreamy, and the food has always been fabulous. Plus, if you let them know it's a special birthday, they will do something special for a surprise.
re: alannabon
this would be a great suggestion, but i'm not sure if i could afford to hire a personal chef! plus, i think s/he would be appalled at our counter space. thank you so much though!
Have you been to Mas? great space downtown, very small, quaint, cool atmosphere albiet a tight space. the servcie was unbelievale. the food is french, delicious, limited tasting type menus. i also just recently went to Cookshop - check out their website - foods are all from local farmers, fresh, etc but don't be fooled the portions are big, food is flavorful (I'm a meat lover and the porkchop & black bean relish dish was amazing). Plus there was someone there to help us choose wine and taste a few extra glasses....less "romantic" and "fancy" but down to earth, still a very cool place, highly recommended
re: Get In My Belly
you know, i was going to do that last year, but i read the food isn't that great there. have you been before? i actually don't know anyone who's been there, but i read the reviews. would love your opinion.
re: chow57
Don't talk yourself out of it. We've been there, on and off, for 20 years. The current chef is certainly not as talented as some of the previous, and the place is no longer one of the Top 20 in NYC, but the food is up there with many on your list & the ambience for a birthday celebration is unsurpassed. The wine list will make up for the food being "very good" & not "excellent". Try Open Table for reservations, although I'm sure if you've been to many of the places mentioned, you know how to get in to a tough place.
Otherwise, Eleven Madison Park should do it.
re: Steve R
hi steve, i am going on their website right now. thanks so much for your helpful post!
re: chow57
yes, i took my lady there for her birthday a couple months ago, and had a great experience overall. probably not the greatest food you can get in nyc, but definitely good enough that it makes the experience worth it.
i know there are places that people go to for the atmosphere but the food is terrible (tavern on the green, for example), but river cafe is definitely not in that category. the atmosphere, etc. is fantastic, and the food might not be amazing, but we thought it was very good. i would say that the vibe is pretty 'old school' as opposed to 'hip' and 'trendy', but i think thats part of the reason we liked it. not something we are used to.
great overall experience for a special occasion.
re: Get In My Belly
oh, nice... you and steve r have made me seriously consider river cafe. i really appreciate all the comments and descriptions. thank you guys so much! my bf and i haven't been there yet, so even if i don't take him for his bday, we will have to try it for another special occasion... thanks again, guys!
Hi chow57, I haven't been, yet, so I can't vouch for the place--but Insieme in the Michaelangelo Park Hotel sounds promising. It opened earlier this week, so I doubt your boyfriend's been and it's by the same folks as Hearth. Think Eaters has a little blurb about it. I've heard from coworkers that it's an attractive space.
Ah yes, and the Landmark TWC just opened in the Time Warner Center. Maybe other chowhounds have tried?
You might want to consider going somewhere small, low key and intimate rather than somewhere glitzy if he's used to doing the glitzy thing. A birthday meal at a teeny (but delicious) bistro involving a bottle (or more) of wine could be just the thing.
re: chow57
La Lanterna comes to mind. It has wonderful desserts and wines, but isn't particularly remarkable on the pre-dessert front. Still, lovely place to linger.
And everyone seems to love the Spotted Pig in the W. Village.
BTW, sorry for the misspelling. It should be "Landmarc," not "Landmark." Not sure they're taking reservations for parties of fewer than six people right now, but you can check (and use the birthday card!).
re: taraxstar
thanks taraxstar! are you talking about the one in grand central?
hop on a flight to El Bulli, that'd be special, romantic, etc. if not for 30 maybe for his 40th.
