way too intense, didn't do Christian Grey justice tho but Dakota Johnson (Ana Steele) now dats bar
Thanks God for E.L. James. Thanks God for Trilogy. Thanks God for Christian Grey. Thanks God for Ana Steele.
Im alittle less than half way to finishing the third book to this Fifty Shades series n I must say my opinion is up n down. once u get passed all the sex stuff, which too me can seem at points alittle cliche and an over filler, the character of Christian Grey, were he a real person, would be someone I think most women would tire of. He's too controlling, and makes every action Ana Steele does into an arguement.its actually exhausting. I find myself in this last book actually glazing over some of the sex stuff so I can get to a legitimate conversation n story between them. At this point I just wanna see how it ends. Though since this is a Fan Fiction of Twilight, I have an idea somewhat how it will go down.
Jamie Dornan & Dakota Johnson really do have a great chemistry. Thnk they gve justce portrayng Christian Grey & Ana Steele 👍👏💕
This is not my writing, but I do uphold the views presented. Posting because I genuinely think this is important. I apologise for the length. 50 Shades of Grey was originally fanfiction based on the Twilight series, which was then published as a novel (along with 2 subsequent books). It sold over 100 million copies around the world and topped best-seller lists everywhere. It's about to be adapted into a film, set to come out early next year. It follows a college student named Ana Steele, who enters a relationship with a man named Christian Grey and is then introduced to a bastardised and abusive parody of BDSM culture. While the book is paraded as erotica, the relationship between Ana and Christian is far from healthy. The core mantra of the BDSM community is "safe, sane and consensual", and 50 Shades is anything but. None of the rules of BDSM practices (which are put in place to protect those involved) are actually upheld. Christian is controlling, manipulative, abusive, takes complete advantage of ...
I can't decide who I like more, Christian Grey or Gideon Cross... Ana Steele or Eva Tramell
"Ana Steele, falling for a man, and its Christian Grey, a hot, sexy billionaire." ❤
Kam can be Christian Grey and I'll be Ana Steele and Paris can be Mrs. Robinson
So just saw the 50 Shades of Grey trailer.. & that's not how I pictured Christian Grey or Ana Steele when I was reading the books lol
I think I'm the only one who likes Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and doesn't like the casting for Ana Steele
Ugh! Ian Somerhalder would have been the perfect "Christian Grey" and Alexis Bledel would have been great as "Ana Steele" …
The Quiz: How well do you really know Ana Steele and Christian Grey?
Honestly expected Christian Grey and Ana Steele to be more attractive
I'm seriously disappointed in whoever chose the role of Christian Grey & Ana Steele. 😠😒

Omg Jamie Dornan is playing as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Ana Steele in The 50 shades of grey 😍😍
Last night I dreamt that George Clooney was the Christian Grey to my Ana Steele. It was beautiful.
168 The alarm clicks on, startling me awake with the traffic news. Christian is still asleep beside me. Rubbing my eyes, I glance at the clock. Six thirty—too early. It's raining outside for the first time in ages, and the light is muted and mellow. I'm cozy and comfortable in this vast modern monolith with Christian at my side. I stretch and turn to the delicious man beside me. His eyes spring open and he blinks sleepily. "Good morning." I smile and caress his face, leaning down to kiss him. "Good morning, baby. I usually wake before the alarm goes off," he murmurs in wonder. "It's set so early." "That it is, Miss Steele." Christian grins. "I have to get up." He kisses me, and then he's up and out of bed. I flop back against the pillows. Wow, waking up on a school day next to Christian Grey. How did this all happen? I close my eyes and doze. "Come on, sleepyhead, get up." Christian leans over me. He's shaved, clean, fresh—Hmm, he smells so good—in a crisp white shi ...
I don't think this is the right Christian Grey. She is the right Ana Steele
Dakota Johnson is going to play Ana Steele??? What??? Add that to Jamie Dornan playing Christian Grey and I am really not interested in watching the movie at all. Bad casting, folks!
It just keeps gettin better...on 2 the last part of Christian Grey and Ana Steele.
*SOME MORE PICS OF CG AUDI*** Christian Grey's Audi coupe had some big Fifty Shades of Grey scenes in Stanley Park this morning, driving around the park and then parking so that Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Ana Steele (Dakota Johnson) could have a conversation in it.
Once again, it seems as though we have some thieves on our page. I just found two more of my personal photos from my trip to Canada on a Christian Grey & Ana Steele fan page.once again, they did not ask permission to use the photos & they did not credit me either. Anyone or any other fan page that continues to do this will be blocked & reported. Have some common courtesy. - Lori
Then, she finally give it to a wierd dangerous man- Christian Grey, after 21 years. Oh Ana Steele, why? I guess, she's thinking now that it's love. Tss, continue reading.

The stars to play Christian Grey and Ana Steele in the Fifty Shades if Grey movie. Set to be released in February 2015, possibly in two versions, hot or extra spicy!
Well I think that she must really love Christian Grey to marry him after all he has done to her.
The man & woman selected to play Christian Grey and Ana Steele don't match the physical description in the book.
we have Christian Grey and Ana Steele already AND NOW WE HAVE Elliot Grey THIS IS SO EXCITING
Fifty Shades of Grey When literature student Anastasia Steele interviews successful entrepreneur Christian Grey, she finds him very attractive and deeply intimidating. Unworldly and innocent, Ana is shocked to find she wants this man, and excited when she realises that Christian wants her too. As they embark on a passionate love affair, Ana discovers more about her own desires, as well as the dark secrets Christian keeps hidden away from public view .

The actors for Christian Grey and Ana Steele have been chosen! Ahh! I'm okay with the decisions, are you?
I am so mad. They picked the worst people possible to play Christian Grey and Ana Steele.
I'm actually glad that they chose a not so famous actor and actress to play the role of Christian Grey and Ana Steele
Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam as Ana Steele and Christian Grey. They are not the actors I had in mind
Here we go again arguing who will play Christian Grey and Ana Steele
Christian Grey and Ana Steele cast. 50 Shades fans are clearly not happy with the casting director's choice
*** ? Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey? Dakota Johnson as Ana Steele. No way!! Matt Bomer and Elizabeth Olsen!
I like the man who's going to play Christian Grey, but I'm not sure about the girl playing Ana Steele...egh
Cast for 50 shades of Grey is out ! And no, Ian Somerhalder is not Christian Grey, and Emma Watson is not Ana Steele. :(

I simply love Fifty Shades... I really want Matt Bomer as Christian Grey and Alexis Bledel as Ana Steele.…
I want you to do with me what Christian Grey does with Ana Steele, ok?
"You wouldn't want to get your clothes dirty"= Ana Steele. "I can always take them off" = Christian Grey. ~Fifty Shades of Grey

Please, write more books about Christian Grey and Ana Steele! Please. I want more Fifty Shades, i miss them!
Matt Bomer is perfect to play the rol of Christian Grey. He accomplishes the description given by Ana Steele in the book..
Fifty Shades One Year On.. I can't believe a year has passed since reading Fifty Shades. My family is still dealing with the impact that it made. No dinners cooked, no laundry done, the house went all to pot. Three silver books were my whole life, I simply couldn't stop. Christian Grey and Ana Steele consumed my waking hours. Would she sign the contract when she wanted 'Hearts & Flowers'? I loved their email banter, their fights and make ups too. And in the Red Room, goodness me, there's stuff I never knew! The Tie, The Mask, The Key (or cuffs), through all three tomes I rushed. My knees nipped tight together and my face a little flushed. Their tale was ❤LOVE ❤and romance, 'twas this that held us captive. It was just an added bonus that their sex life was so active. I finished Freed and was distraught - an addict needing more. I went online and trawled the net. Where was number four? A fruitless search, but found instead some other greysessed girls. Hurrah! I wasn't on my own. My Inner Goddess twirled ...
I'm still confused as to how Ana Steele got Christian Grey... Oh wait. Only crap like that happens in books.
My ideas for the main characters for 50 Shades of Grey. Chris Hemsworth for Christian Grey and Ema Watson as Ana Steel.
"Ahhh SISTER!...you must be Mrs.Robinson :D "I really miss Christian Grey and Ana Steele :("Lmao Allah ya raba
Some girls r just so *** lucky! Ana Steele gets Christian Grey, Eva Tramell gets Gideon Cross and me?! I get no lovelife at all --__--
Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev were recently spotted together, confirming their dating rumors. But fans are getting the feeling that the two don't really want to star in the upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie as Christian Grey and Ana Steele.
Christian Grey to Ana Steele: "You're my lifeline." Gideon Cross to Eva Tramell: "I need you more than my next breath." OhEmGeee! ♥♡♥
Alex Pettyfer as Christian Grey I WAS REALLY HOPING IT'D BE Matt Bomer. So please let the to-be-Ana Steele be "the perfect Ana"

Alexander Skarsgard should play Christian Grey, and Mila Kunis or Katy Perry should play Ana Steele.
Christian Grey, Ana Steele and Gideon Cross love triangle. :">
Ashley Greene as Ana Steele, by far the best casting, Liam Hemsworth as Christian Grey
If Matt Bomer is Christian Grey and Emma Watson is Ana Steele, my heart will melt 😍
Seeing Damon and Elena is like seeing Christian Grey and Ana Steele.
So if Emma Watson is Ana Steele, then who's going to be Christian Grey?
I cant think of other celebrities to fit Ana Steele and Christian Grey's character :(( Ian Somerhalder with Lucy Hale!! Just them, please :(
Lip biting triggers a rush of chemicals to the brain which reduce anxiety, stress and increases mood. -and now we know why Ana Steele does it. 'Course... We can understand why... Being around Christian Grey and all...

"If you be my Ana Steele, I'll be your Christian Grey" is not a good pick-up line. Apparently.
My ideal Christian Grey will be played by Ian Somerhalder or Alexander Skarsgård and Ana Steele -- Emilia Clarke.
This guy in line in front of my just picked up a prescription for Ana Steele.. He's not what I imagined Christian Grey to look like.
I'm part of the "If Matt Bomer gets the part as Christian Grey i want the part as Ana Steele" group it's amazing! Btw... It's my group lol.
They finaly got the two main leads for 50 shades of grey? Mila Kunis of Black Swan as Ana Steel and Ian Somerhalter of The Vampire Diaries as Christian Grey. Bravo! I think it's perfect match.^_^
I wanna to see Emilia Clarke as Ana Steele and Matt Bomer as Christian Grey (

I think Christian Bale & Mila Kunis would be the perfect people to play Christian Grey and Ana Steele in
And I DON'T WANNA KNOW. You've been eyeing Christian Grey for a while now. Not sure what that's about
Just realized that Ana Steele was still a virgin when she met Christian Grey a couple of weeks before her graduation. Lucky girl
Okay, that's it. Matt Bomer for Christian Grey & Alexis Bledel for Ana Steele. 'NUFF SAID. They're perfect. :") ♥
The boy I baby sit just asked me "you drive an, Audi right?" My first thought was to tell him, I'm not Ana Steel! Lol I want Christian Grey!

'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie: Channing Tatum/Jenna Dewan Vs. Jensen Ackles/Daneel Harris December 04, 2012 01:55 AM EST Round and round the Fifty Shades of Grey casting wheel goes, and where it stops only the producers know. Sorry, E.L. James. The latest trend on the 50 Shades fan sites seems to be the idea of casting real life couples as titular sadist Christian Grey and his annoyingly unaware but pleasingly pliant girlfriend, Anastasia Steele. Celebrity couples mentioned include Chris Hemsworth and his Fast Five star wife, Elsa Patakyare; Superman hunk Henry Cavill and his new girlfriend Gina Carano; and of course the Vampire Diaries lovers, and real life couple, Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev. Interestingly, one Christian contender has actually stated in several recent interviews that he would play Mr. Grey only if his real life wife was cast as Ana. That contender is Magic Mike star Channing Tatum, AKA the Sexiest Man Alive. Tatum and his wife Jenna Dewan met when both starred in the rather pedestria ...
Lucy Hale & Ian Somerhalder are in lead choices to play Ana Steele & Christian Grey for the 50 Shades movie adaptation. How about, NO?
We have decided who is playing Ana Steele and Christian Grey...Ashley Greene from Twilight and Ian Sommerhalder from Vampire Diaries.!
Finally!!Saw the video!! Alexis Bledel is rumoured to play Ana Steele while Matt Bomer is Christian Grey...
My friend just said she thought Miranda Cosgrove and Nicholas Cage should play Ana Steele and Christian Grey
So last night I dreamt that I was Ana Steele and Tom Hardy was Christian Grey.need I say more!!
Just finished the first book of the Crossfire Series..all I've gotta say is to the ladies who LLOOVVEE Christian Grey and Ana Steele you MUST dip into the life of Gideon Cross and Eva Tramell :)
It's odd when I watched Bea Alonzo and John Estrada are like Ana Steele and Christian Grey
I think I finally found the perfect actor and actress for the roles of Christian Grey and Ana Steele...Chris Hemsworth & Lucy Hale.
Schmidt is like a pervy Ana Steele and Carla Gugino is Christian Grey. 😂
If I could be Ana Steele in real life, my Christian Grey would be Ely Buendia.
Just started reading Fifty Shades of Gray...for the movie a good Christian Grey would be Wentworth Miller from prison break sexy man. Ana Steele idk yet but someone with huge Big blue eyes.like it so far...
Matt Bomer should play Christian Grey and Amanda Seyfried should play Ana Steele. Boom.
Ashley Green and Matt Bomer as Ana Steele and Christian Grey. . . . . I think/hope so. They would be perfect for the roles. But those are some big shoes to fill so when the movie comes out i hope its as good as the book.
For a while now I have been wondering what relationship compares to that of Christian Grey and Ana Steele, and have finally figure it out...Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger!!
we think and Lily Collins can be Christian Grey and Ana Steele. what do you say :)
I love Nina Dobrev very much, but if Ian Somerhalder becomes Christian Grey(pray to god he does) I wouldn't want her as Ana Steele bcuz-
"From my reliable source in Hollywood: Tom Hardy as Christian Grey and world's sexiest star Mila Kunis as Ana Steele" nooo!
I think Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder would make a great Ana Steele and Christian Grey!!! Anybody???
'Fifty Shades of Grey':Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult Couple to Play Ana Steele and Christian Grey?..
Tulisa says she wants Tom Hardy to be Christian Grey..and Kristen Stewart to be Ana Steele.er no.lol!!
I'm Stephanie Meyer and E L James were in the same book club - there's a lot of similarities between Christian Grey/Ana Steele and Eddie Cullen/Bella Swan. Charismatic, inner tortured soul seduces young and awkward student.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" author E L James Author told Katie Couric she's narrowed it down to seven actors to fill the roles of Ana Steele and Christian Grey.
Off of work today...i have finally finished reading the series "Fifty Shades of Grey" and i loved them all...went on the internet to check out potential cast for some of the roles but i have my own ideas for the cast...for "Christian Grey", Alexander Skarsgard...for "Ana Steele", Nina Dobrev...and for "Elena", Kristin Bauer van Straten...these people would make a great movie i think...
I vote for Henry Cavill as Christian Grey and Emilia Clark as Ana Steele ! :)
Ian Somerhalder CANNOT be Christian Grey! And I vote Emmy Rossum for Ana Steele. Please and Thank You :D
People who keep making the comparison of Twilight to Fifty Shades of Grey because they are both love stories.have no clue what they *** they are talking about. More likely, the lazy haters form an opinion and probably haven't even read either sets of books. I have read both. Let's forget that one circles a plot about vampires and werewolves and the other delves into deviate S&M sex based on childhood psychological trauma and self-worth. Bella Swan's character didn't even have a hobby beyond self-pity. Reading her perspective in books made me wanna vomit over the stupidity and confusion. Ana Steele had self-respect despite her love for Christian and even fought to keep her independent career. She had personality. Edward Cullen, though a fine romantic character, was little more than a beautiful face with a few talents and some money. His family had more depth. Christian Grey is like cocaine with 50 Red Bulls in intensity. Emotionally crippled and filled with self-loathing, you loved and hated him. I'm step ...
3-hour sleep not for my quiz today but for Christian Grey and Ana Steele of 50 Shades Darker! Goodluck, Lendz! :-)
I'm in the Sea-Tac airport && all I can think about is Christian Grey, Ana Steele, Charlie Tango && 50 shades.
Chris Hemsworth being considered for the role of Christian Grey. I'm gonna die. O_O (also, Felicity Jones as Ana Steele.) I could deal with that. :D
Johnny Vegas to play Christian Grey and Dawn French to play Ana Steele. Now we are talking!!
'Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Trailer Stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as Ana Steele and Christian Grey (VIDEO)

Ice narrowed down my ideal cast for Fifty Shades of Grey for Christian Grey: Christian Bale, Joe Manganillo, or Alexander Skarsgard for Ana Steele: Anne Hathaway, Rooney Mara , or Ashley Greene ☺
Mila Kunis as Ana Steele and Christian Bale as Christian Grey? I can totally dig it.
Emilia Clarke to play Ana Steele, Ian Somerhalder to play Christian Grey.
It's weird reading Christian Grey as Edward Cullen and Ana Steele as Bella Swan lol Twilight will never be the same for me xD.
my Christian Grey and Ana Steele is and Mila Kunis
who do think should paly as Christian Grey and Ana Steele? im thinking Alexander Skarsgård (Eric Northman) and Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen). that would make for a hot talk about couple!
Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis reading the parts of Ana Steele and Christian Grey is probably the greatest thing ever.
That's it. I'm convinced. Alexis Bledel for Ana Steele. Henry Cavill or Ian Somerhalder for Christian Grey. They'd be perfect. Now hurry up and make the movie!! :))
Christian Grey needs to be Ryan Gosling & Ana Steele needs to be Ashley Greene..
Finally done with the Fifty Shades Trilogy. Aahh Christian Grey and Ana Steele, I will miss you for sure!
Book 3: Fifty Shades Freed almost done. Ohhh. I'll be missing Ana Steele and the handsome Christian Grey.

If Matt Bomer doesn't play Christian Grey and Alexis Bledel doesn't play Ana Steele in this movie I will flip out

Just completed a brisk two mile walk in Lake Michigan! Felt like I was training for a marathon! The temperature was glorious.we swam for an hour - it was perfect - no salt, great waves! OK, now back to Christian Grey and Ms. Ana Steele! Great day!
Matt Bomer as Christian Grey, Rooney Mara as Ana Steele and Angelina Jolie as Mrs. Robinson. That would be so perfect.
My picks for Ana Steele & Christian Grey for the movie: Emmy Rossum and Matt Bomer
Matt Bomer as Christian Grey and Emma Watson as Ana Steele. YAY or NAY?
So lately I have been reading Fifty Shades of Grey...and I heard that it is going to become a movie...well I honestly believe that I have come up with a cast who should star in this movie. It helps with my visuals lol Once you reassd who i have cast in my own movie...in my head...you should google thme... Christian Grey- Matt Bomer Ana Steele- Alexis Baldeh Kate Kavanagh- Emma Stone Elliot Grey- Liam Hemsworth Jose (Ana's friend)- Adam Rodriquez So, just to name a few...Like I said you need to look them up and tell me how perfect for the role they would be... :)
Rumours that is Making Movies & Emma Watson is playing Ana Steele & Matt Bomer is playing THE Christian Grey!!!
I can totally see Henry Cavill and Alexis Bledel playing Christian Grey and Ana Steele!
Christian Grey and Ana Steele need to be played by Matt Bomer and Elizabeth Olsen in the Fifty Shades movies
My opinion would be Alexis Bledel as Ana Steele and Chris Hemsworth as Christian Grey :-)
I will only accept Emma Watson as Ana Steele if Tom Felton is cast as Christian Grey
Ryan Gosling as Christian Grey and Amanda Seyfried as Ana Steele...who agrees
If Ian not-even-attractive Somerhalder gets casted as Christian Grey & Alexis Bledel doesn't get casted as Ana Steele, I won't see the film.
Ooh, if Ana Steele was here, Christian Grey would buy off the whole Araneta Coliseum just so she can watch Snow Patrol.
movie I would say Zooey Deschenel as Ana Steele & Gabriel Macht from suits as Christian Grey? Have you watched Suits?
Been rooting for as Christian Grey then I saw this. Wow and Alexis Bledel for Ana Steele! x
Who is your Christian Grey and Ana Steele?? Mine are Armie Hammer and Lily Collins.

Book of the Week: True North by Brenda Niall
True North by Brenda Niall is our new Book of the Week
Brenda Niall is one of Australia's foremost biographers, perhaps best known for her comprehensive history of the Boyd family and, in her latest work, she's turned her eye to pioneering sisters Elizabeth and Mary Durack.
The duo are perhaps best known for their ventures in Australia's art world. Mary was a writer (and author of Kings in Grass Castles), while her younger sibling Elizabeth was a painter. Towards the end of her life, the latter controversially released a spate of Indigenous-inspired artwork during the 1990s, under the pseudonym Eddie Burrup, whose work was critically praised and shown in several leading galleries before Elizabeth decided to reveal the truth. She was heavily criticised for the move, especially given her family's history as pastoralists (the Durack family owned cattle stations and land in the Kimberley).
In her biography, Niall has said that she sought not so much to take sides, but to understand the complexities of the sisters' lives and their relationship with art and culture, which she pieced together from unlimited access to their diaries, letters and papers. While Mary and Elizabeth both grew up in Perth, their time in the Kimberley (the 'True North' of the title) clearly left a significant impact on their psyches.
Kara Nicholson commented in her review for this month's Readings Monthly:
'[Elizabth and Mary's] time in the Kimberley brought them in close contact with the Aboriginal workers on the stations and from firsthand accounts found in their letters and diaries it is clear that their attitudes were incredibly progressive for the time. They were uneasy about the situation of Aboriginal people and witnessed with their own eyes the destruction that white settlement was bringing to the area and its original inhabitants.
Elizabeth's controversial decision to briefly paint under the pseudonym Eddie Burrup… is seen in a new light after her complex relationship with Aboriginal painters is explored.
…*True North* is meticulously researched and highly readable. Niall has considerable empathy for these women who have contributed much to the Australian literary and artistic culture.'
True North is out now in paperback ($32.95).

11 News has the surveillance video of a crook stealing a package right from a local woman's front porch.
The crime happened at a home on Greenwood Circle on Tuesday afternoon. The home is near Circle and Airport in Colorado Springs.
Through the lens of the home surveillance camera, you can see Ashley Ryan's package sitting on her front porch. Then on the right side of the screen you see the suspect walking up her driveway. They grab the package and walk away.
"It's irritating because it makes me feel like someone is watching my house 24/7," said Ryan.
In the box was about $400 dollars worth of chocolate. Ryan was about to start up her own business selling the chocolate. When she came home from work she noticed the package still had not arrived. So she tracked it online through Fed-Ex. She soon learned it had been delivered to her door at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.
"It's very aggravating. People need to stop stealing from everybody. Go work for your money like everybody else."
In her surveillance video you see the suspect's car drive off. It's a red Pontiac Sunfire.
Ryan told 11 News the officer who took her report says another family in the same neighborhood also said that their package was stolen.
Colorado Springs police recommend having your package delivered to where you work. That way your secretary or someone at the front desk can get it for you.
If you know anything about this, call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

Of all the wonderful dishes my grandmother Angelina would make when I was growing up, this was my very favorite. And that's saying a lot, since she made incredible lasagne di carnevale.
Angelina's pasta e lenticche (pasta and lentils) was very simple to make but involved three more or less simultaneous operations: First, you simmer lentils with garlic and a drop of olive oil until tender, then season well. Second, while the lentils are simmering, you saute lots of sliced onions in olive oil. Season these, too. Third, when your lentils and onions are almost done, you cook the pasta. Typically, Angelina would break up linguine into short lengths, and for me, this dish is never quite right with any other kind of pasta. But, of course, you can use all sorts of small, stubby pastas like ditali or even a tiny soup pasta like orzo or stellette. When the pasta is slightly undercooked, add it to the pot with the lentils, then add the sauteed onions along with a good ladleful of the pasta cooking water. Mix well, adjust for seasoning, and let it 'rest', covered, for at least an hour to let the favors develop. In fact, it tastes even better when you make it in the morning for an evening meal, or the day before. (Yes, you heard that right: this recipes breaks all the usual rules for making pasta.)
Measurements: Nana never measured, and, anyway, the proportions for this dish are to taste, but I find that using the same weight (uncooked) of lentils and pasta provides the right balance for me. I like to make a fair amount at a time, and 250g of each is enough for at least 6 portions. For that amount, one medium onion is fine. Add more if you like, but I find that adding too much onion gives the dish a sweetness that is not genuino.
The only tricky part to this dish, besides getting the lentil-to-pasta ratio to your taste, is to season each component (lentils, pasta, onions) well, as they all need salt to 'shine'. But be careful not to overdo it; the seasoning in each component somehow comes out stronger when they are combined.
Variations: The other day I had some stuff in the fridge that I needed to use, and felt like a more elaborate version of this dish. So I simmered the lentils with a sprig of fresh bay leaves and a chunk of 'country ham' (pancetta or guanciale would also do nicely) for extra depth of flavor. (When it was cooked, I boned and diced the ham and added it to the pasta.) And I added a bit of crushed tomato to the sauteed onions. The result was not a 'pure' as Angelina's original version, but awfully good.
This variation is actually quite close to the pasta e lenticchie you could sometimes find on the menu at family-run trattorie in Rome. There, the dish is more of a soup, and the pasta something like tubetti. Pancetta and tomato are usually included in the flavoring base. The soup is served with grated cheese, something that we never had with Angelina's version.

Web security is not an option these days for enterprises small or large. Any cost benefit analysis done would suggest straight away how much savings would be done by implementing security. The co$t of a data breach averages $5.5 million or $194 per customer record. Companies that take security seriously by employing a Chief Information Security Officer can reduce the cost per customer record by up to 62%. So…what can Web developers be doing to PREVENT these data breaches and Web application vulnerabilities from happening in the first place?

History of Culture Bazaar
The origins of the Culture Bazaar can be traced to November 2005 when 150 people attended the first ever event that coincided with Eid (the end of the month of fasting called Ramadan in the Muslim Calendar). The event was aimed at bringing people together to share their culture and was organised by Saj Ghafoor, owner of HDM Spice Shop, on Brook Street in Carlisle. Many of her customers were coming in and asking if she knew people from thier backgrounds. Saj got a red book & started listed people's names, telephone numbers & the country of origin. She would then connect people up for friendship.
Saj & Abdul (her husband) understood exactly what it means to be treated differently, as she knew how lonely it can feel to be isolated from the rest of society. She established the successful HDM Spice Shop in Brook Street with her husband Abdul. She knows the importance of the smile that says you are accepted…an ethos that is the root to Culture Bazaar & seen so clearly through the medium of food, music, dance, drama and art. They can all be enjoyed without any language barrier. We share the cultures of the many and celebrate our diversity.
The next request from her customers was to have get togethers to celebrate cultures with family & friends. In November 2005, Saj & Abdul wanted to celebrate thier Islamic festival of Eid. This year they hired the local Community Centre on Close Street in Carlisle, & invited friends & customers to join then. There was an earthquake in Northern Pakistan, and the Ghafoor's wanted to do thier bit to raise money for the Asian eartquake appeal, raising nearly £900, by selling food & donations. The foundations had been laid. Carlisle would never be quite the same again! Life was never going to be the same for Saj & Abdul either. HDM Spcie Shop became a hub for information for, ethnic minorities as well as local people, teachers & community organisations.
Saj recognised that what was needed was a unified approach, for all cultures, no matter what nationality, faith or background. It was necessary to share our similarities & celebrate our identity for the sake of ourselves & the future generation. To be proud of one's identity & heritage, to have self confidence, & to learn to be tolerant & respectful to others.
After a 2nd Eid Milan event in October 2006, Saj set up Asian Womens Group Carlisle, applied for funding, and organised the first Culture Bazaar in July 2007 at Greystone Community Centre where 200 visitors attended.
Culture Bazaar grass roots success demanded more activities & more space. Saj approached Trinity School & it was keen to be involved. Remaining in the heart of the community was an essential ingredient.Culture Bazaar 2008's visitors soared to over 1,000 & was a great success. Saj had organised, promoted, linked into community & designed every aspect of the Culture Bazaar. It had been a huge challenge. Unfortunatly, while the other memebers of the group were enthusiastic, they struggled with skills, time & committment required to move it forward. So Saj made the decision to set up a new group, with individuals who had key skills to take the Culture Bazaar forward.
The success of the Culture Bazaar is due to the overwhelming support of the community. They want change & the opportunity to to learn about cultures through a social & fun way. While we are all different, we a the same in many ways. We all have a responsibility to make Carlisle a peacful & friendly city. It should be looked upon as an extension to one's home.

- Venegazzu Casa Bianca Treviso Prosecco Brut Nv Product #28257 (In Stock)
While Italy's fizzy and fun Prosecco is great on any occassion, it's really built to enjoy on a warm afternoon with savory snacks, fresh fruit, and friends. And that's exactly where this festive fizz will shine. Creamy textured and joyfully bubbly, there's plenty of lemon, peach and tangy apricot fruit to smell and taste with a note of salty mineral for complexity. Finishes fruity and dry to quench your thirst and encourage all day sipping pleasure!
- Villa Jolanda Holiday Italian Sparkling Wine Product #22525 (In Stock)
A festive wine deserves a festive package! Villa Jolanda sparkler is made from 100% Prosecco grapes grown in the hills north of Treviso. Grapes are hand-harvested, chilled in the vineyard, and given a low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit. The wine features lovely aromas of white flowers, orchard fruits, and a touch of mineral. Lightly sparkling with very pretty, small, bubbles, the wine is full of flavor - peach, ripe apple, lemon zest, and a nice mineral streak.

- Lodali Moscato d'Asti 2013 Product #27962 (In Stock)
A delightfully aromatic wine, with loads of fresh fruit flavors bursting from the glass. It is sweet, but beautifully balanced by the wine's effervescence and acidity. Being frizzante, it has only about half the effervescence of a sparkling wine, and is hard to resist. This wine makes a wonderful accompaniment to many desserts, especially those made with fruit such as peach, pear, apple and berries.
- Hillinger Secco NV Product #20714 (In Stock)
Gently sparkling with fine fruit: that's the Hillinger Secco, the winery's light pink creation of 100% Pinot Noir grapes. This is easily the best (and most dry) release yet. Pretty in the glass and loaded with aromas and flavors of tangy strawberry, cranberry and cherry fruit. Juicy and refreshingly dry on the tangy finish, this would be a great brunch or warm afternoon drink!
- Finca Valldosera Cava Brut Nature NV Product #23944 (In Stock)
The price-quality-ratio here is just absurd. Toasty and yeasty on the nose then fantastically complex apple and golden fruit flavors with plenty of yeast/bread dough flavors. Stunning levels of fruit for a no-dosage wine and the kind of creamy, silky, texture normally only found in $40 Champagne. Super friendly, you can drink this like Prosecco if you like, but it's more than sophisticated enough to warrant close attention.
"Finca Valldosera is a boutique producer (5000 cases total production) of high-class Cava. All three of the above Cavas are Brut Nature meaning they have received zero dosage. The Non-Vintage Brut Nature is a blend of 45% Xarel-lo, 30% Macabeo, 10% Parellada, 10% Chardonnay, and 5% Subirat Parent with 10% of the Xarel-lo barrel-fermented and aged. The wine remained sur lie for 24 months and was hand-riddled. It offers up an enticing nose of brioche, smoked nuts, and assorted white fruits. Displaying small persistent bubbles, a smooth texture, and excellent balance, this tasty Cava over-delivers in a big way."Wine Advocate 90 points
- Bohigas Cava Brut Reserve NV Product #28953 (In Stock)
There's an element of class and style here you just don't often find in value-priced bubbles. Authentic, delicious, and very well-priced.
"A family-owned winery whose origins date back to the 13th century, Fermi Bohigas owns over 240 acres of organically farmed vineyards in Catalunya. Made from a classic blend (for this area) of Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada planted in limestone and clay soils, the wine spends 24 months on its lees before disgorgement. It is an excellent value for consumers looking for alternatives to French Champagne. Lemon/lime, crushed rock and white currant notes are present in this crisp, elegant, refreshing, zesty, dry sparkler. Hints of wheat thins and brioche add complexity. Enjoy this medium-bodied offering over the next 1-2 years."Wine Advocate 90 points
- Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco Di Sorbara Vecchia Modena 2013 Product #28266 (In Stock)
A stunning dry Lambrusco that will rock with pizza or cured meats.
"Bright red-ruby. Exotically perfumed bouquet evokes red berry preserves, violet and sweet spices. Fleshy raspberry and red cherry flavors are quite primary, picking up cinnamon and vanilla qualities with air. Shows no rough edges and finishes with good clarity and sweet, vibrant persistence. Very elegant for lambrusco and deliciously crammed with clean, sweet red berry flavors that linger long on the aftertaste. Lambrusco doesn't get much better than this."International Wine Cellar 90 points
- Carod Clairette De Die Tradition NV Product #29052 (In Stock)
A very old-school sparkler, made by bottling the young wine while it's still fermenting. It's a blend of 75% Muscat and 25% Clairette that fizzes with fine, pinpoint, bubbles and shows off aromas and flavors of peach, orange, white grapefruit, and fresh flowers. Low in alcohol, lightly off-dry and crisp and clean at the end, it's perfect choice for brunch - sort of like a Mimosa with a touch of grapefruit juice!
- Gruet Brut Blanc De Noir N/V 750 Ml Product #19040 (In Stock)
You might not expect to find top-quality fizz in the New Mexico highlands, but France's Gruet family has been turning it out for years. One of the great values in Champagne-style sparkling wine, it's full of ripe apple and cherry fruit in a rich, creamy textured wine that finishes dry and brisk with lemon drop flavors lingering. A fine bottle of party fizz for a crowd!
- Duval Leroy Nv Brut 375ml Product #20790 (In Stock)
"There's a creamy edge to the quince, biscuit, honey and ginger flavors in this well-cut Champagne, which help to balance the firm acidity. Vibrant and expressive, with a zesty finish. Drink now through 2014."Wine Spectator 91 points
- Adami Prosecco Bosco Di Gica NV Product #5592 (In Stock)
A stylish Prosecco made primarily from the Glera (formerly "Prosecco") grape plus 3 or 4% Chardonnay for texture and named for the region where the Adami family's first vineyards were located. The aromas and flavors are classic - lemon, golden apple, peach, pineapple and just a hint of toasted nut. The texture is extraordinary, though, with a creamy richness and zesty definition not often seen in Prosecco. A touch of sea brine and passion fruit comes up on the clean, crisp, finish as your mouth waters and your hand reaches back to pour another glass. Compelling and great value, too!
- Adami Prosecco Col Credas 2013 Product #28823 (In Stock)
A new single vineyard, vintage dated, Prosecco from the masters at Adami that's simply delightful from first sip to last. "Col Credas" refers to the Credazazo hills, specifically a steep vineyard laced with clay. Wonderful aromatics here of fresh flowers, juicy fruit, and a touch of spice. The texture is very sophisticated and creamy with a burst of fresh fruit salad flavors and a crisp, dry, finish. Fun and classy!
- Roederer Estate Brut Anderson Valley N/V Product #4578 (In Stock)
A classic and classy blend of 60% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir from 4 different vineyards plus some oak-aged Estate wine, all aged for 2 years on the lees. Very Champagne like with a pretty red fruit note and a generous, toasty, finish.
"Floral raspberry and apple pie aromas lead to crisp, focused lemon, anise and spicy raspberry flavors that finish on a fresh mineral note."Wine Spectator 90 points
- Steininger Gruner Veltliner Seckt 2012 Product #28639 (In Stock)
So, what happens when you take a great still wine – in this case, the 2012 Grüner Veltliner Kamptal– and give it a little fizz? Pure joy ensues!
Steininger is Kamptal's top producer of sparkling wines and one of the very best in all of Austria. The family specializes in single varietal, single vintage, fizz that showcases the character of the grape and growing season. The 2012 Grüner Veltliner Sekt is a beauty, at once creamy and full of classic Grüner fruit and terrifically dry and vibrant. The in-bottle secondary fermentation delivers plenty of fizz, but this still reads "Grüner" with bright apple, green pea, and white pepper notes. Easy to sip on its own and fun to pair with savory sausage or freshwater fish.
- Charles De Cazanove Champagne Brut Tradition NV Product #26688 (In Stock)
A terrific bottle of classic and classy real Champagne, priced to share with a crowd. Wine Spectator's review of last year's release still seems on point:
"This Champagne offers an array of flavor, including toasted brioche, Gala apple, lemon zest, graphite and ginger, with a touch of honey. Elegant, but with good intensity and a moderate, nut-tinged finish." Wine Spectator 92 points
"Wow. What a terrific champers for the money. It's an excellent introduction to what makes champagne special, and those already familiar with the genre will appreciate its sophistication. It's the value find of the year." 2.5 Stars, Washington Post, 12/18/2012

When I switched to Comcast for phone service, Verizon shut off my on-line account where I paid my bills, sent a final bill in the mail, and then claim a collection notice was sent by another company – which I never got. They did not call for collection or send any other notices. I thought my last bill was paid, but for a lousy $200 final bill they ruined my vcredit for 7 years. I later learned that they split off my mobile phone account, which was current, but never told me they were doing that. Don't let them combine billing, it is for their benefit and not yours. Verizon will not help because they really don't care.

I love sports. So Michael writes to me and rants about the ridiculously fanatical fan fever for sports teams and how that annoys him. He believes sports fervor is a form of nationalism that breeds loyalty to the establishment. I can certainly sympathize with his point.
But I've always thought that the bizarre notion of American school spirit is a form of quasi-nationalism, if you will. It seems to breed similar loyalty on a larger scale as these types typically come to worship the state as much as their alma mater. Going to a small, private college, I've always disliked the extremist college fervor from alumni that has them worshipping everything about their former place of "learning." At 50 years old, college is still the one thing they want to talk about all the time. I used to be forced to go out to lunch with my audit team when I was working in public accounting and working out of the office on client audits. (Team-building, don't you know.) There were two main topics of conversation that sprang forth from these otherwise intelligent, educated people: TV shows and college (alma mater) worship. It drove me nuts. Nowadays, if people do that in my company, I just start surfing the web on my Palm Smartphone.
Talking about the good old days at college as if they were the only days. Seems a bit bizarre to me.8:47 pm on September 16, 2007 Email Karen De Coster

Who do I trust?
Not Google that's for sure.
They've showed in China what they'll do in order to be in a market. If Western Gov's started demanding censorship, Google would provide it.(unquote)
Google was forced to allow China to censor google sites in China or be blocked from Chinese users. They did not however give China access to any data on users – they keep the servers containing theses outside China.
Compare this with Microsoft who provided full access to its Windows source code to the Chinese government, and according to several intelligence agencies in Europe this provides backdoors into Windows PCs that the Chinese government can hack into. Remember the NSA key in Windows?
With open source code like Linux, Android, Chrome, Chrome OS, Google Gears, Google WebToolkit etc. The full source code is published so everyone – the US government, Internet security organisations etc. can check if there are backdoors built into it. This ability to audit the code is the reason why the US National Security Agency (NSA) chose to build its own secure OS, SELinux, on Linux rather than Windows.
Why do we see more and more people fearing Google? Google knows in what city i am with google maps? So scary!
Oh, they will grab my personal data because i am stupid enough to post it on google docs?
Sorry, but your article is not doing a great job in documenting relevant facts or reasons to worry about google.
My question is: where does all the Google bashing coming from? Microsoft maybe? I would not be surprised. FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) is owned (and probably protected by IP rights) by Microsoft, who is currently charging on Google to takeover the internet. Ballmer said, about 5 years ago, that he will bury Google.
Imagine. Microsoft would own the sole OS, the sole apps (msoffice), the sole cloud, the sole internet search, the sole internet standards… Any concern?
Who do I trust?
Not Google that's for sure.
They've showed in China what they'll do in order to be in a market. If Western Gov's started demanding censorship, Google would provide it.
My data can stay on my computer on my desk – I am more than capable of using removable storage devices to move data around.
If you blindly trust Corporations because you think their products are groovy then there's little hope for you.
Big difference between Google and Microsoft, is that Google uses OPEN standards, like WebGL/openGL ( which BTW is going to give 3D to browsers…wink wink GAMING and a whole new way to make the browser bypass the Operating System (Microsoft Windows) )
Google does not care WHOM you are, only what your browser searches for, and service up those ADs.
Again, you do NOT have to use Google OS at all! They are NOT going to kill off Microsoft Windows either.
I think Google OS and Windows 7 and Beyond (Which Windows 7 is what Vista should have been) will compete on different needs for different folks.
There is this shift of moving a lot of APPS ( Not ALL ) to the Cloud. Some will buy or 'trust' the Cloud Computing Style (Google) while others will stick with Local computing and Local Apps (Microsoft, mostly because .NET and so many industries already are built using Microsoft as a Platform ).
So, as Google OS may bring up tracking and the use of Advertising Concerns for A LOT of people, they can stick with Microsoft instead.
At least more CHOICES are opening up (MS, Apple and soon Google/Linux) for people to CHOOSE.
Also, someone mentioned do NOT let Linux be converted into Google… well Im sorry to say, that in the end Linux ALREADY has been claimed as a RE-BRANDED Commercial entity. Rehat, Ubuntu, SUSE, anyone? Google will just be one more. (And remember, Google OS will be 100% open source, just like the Chrome Browser, so it will open BENEFIT the entire Open Source Movement… not hinder it!)
Just like if WGA and Windows Update doesnt phone home?
This is pure FUD.
Microsoft recently tried to change the name of netbooks to "low cost small notebook PC". They have already started their bullying on manufacturers to use Windows. Deja vu!
I guess it is a pied piper thing, but only Google has the size to combat MS.
It is kind of King Kong vs. Godzilla. You are picking the lesser of two evils. You have to determine who is the biggest threat. Microsoft's closed system has invited the malicious software problems that have created this criminal protection racket that exists today.
Apple might be Mothra. Apple's pricing builds the digital divide.
I understand privacy concerns, and while random personal information might be hard to sift through, the information about a specific person would not be.
We need to get past these rival pirates of silicon valley. We need an ally (Google) to do that.
Google is just as dangerous as Microsoft. Don't fool yourselves.
They will stain the Open Source movement.
Then don't install Chrome OS at all!!! Install Debian Linux, or one of many Distributions of Linux available:
PLEASE don't equate GOOGLE with LINUX!!! Google Does NOT own Linux! It may use Linux as the base for GOOGLE's O/S, but the other 1000+ distributions of Linux are not controlled by, or "infected" by Google!
Chris's concerns are legit. Only time will tell how severe the true issues will become. Just this week the White House sent emails (unsolicited) to hundreds of people. Cash for Clunkers Auto Dealers have had to agree to virtually yield their computers to the govt. to complete transactions. Many of the top Google heads are enamored with the current administration which loves bigggg govt. even more than the previous one. …Is it all a part of the MATRIX ? You tell me. I depend on a lot of people for help, direction, guidance. I use helpful services like Google and much of what it has to offer. But ultimately I think trust is better placed in system divinely designed. MS, Chrome, Mac, Linux don't even come close! Read about it at this link below and go from there if interested. Thanks Chris for bringing light to this issue. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john%203:16&version=31
The simple answer. Google provides an awesome service. We pay Google with ad views/clicks and some of our privacy.
Nothing is truly free. It's all give and take.
Further, all this ranting about Google and privacy COMPLETELY misses several points:
1) The information stored ABOUT YOU WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT and of a FAR more sensitive nature (e.g. Credit information, health records, insurance records) by entities such as Lexus/Nexus etc. is far more dangerous than the contents of a given document.
2) Even with ChromeOS, a little personal diligence should be sufficient to mitigate these hyperbolic alarmist claims (granted that assumes PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY which is out of fad right now). If it IS sensitive, DON"T USE GOOGLE DOCS! Problem solved.
3) VOLUME – If 10% of the US population stored just 10 files on Google Docs, that would be 304,000,000 files. Furthermore, if each file is merely 100kb, that would yield 28 GB of (essentially text) data. It would take an IMMENSE amount of effort to glean personal information from this massive dataset. Further, without context, most of the data would ever only be _data_ that was mostly useless except as a source of keywords.
4) Abuse of the information stored would ultimately be self-defeating. Google is not a dumb company.
How does Google own your data?
As with Android and Google Gears, Google uses open data formats in Chrome, and it is open-sourcing Chrome OS, and the Linux OS that sits under it. Anybody can write applications for Linux and Chrome OS, it is not limited to accessing Google services, and that is guaranteed by the fact that Google OS, Android and Linux code and APIs are open sourced, open standards based with no licensing or royalty requirements, and available to everybody.
The problem is Microsoft. Microsoft locks your data into its own proprietary data formats so that Microsoft owns your data – that is true whether you keep your data on a Windows PC, whether you use Sharepoint, or whether you use Microsoft Live.
Whatever you use from Microsoft, Microsoft's intention is to lock your data into Microsoft and own your data. Since its revenue is from ads.
Google doesn't really care about controlling the desktop, it just needs to make sure Microsoft doesn't lock Google out of the Internet by leveraging the Microsoft monopoly of the desktop OS client PCs, or by use of proprietary formats.
Google Chrome OS is simply intended to spread open data formats, and open standards as widely as possible.
The move toward distributed 'cloud' computing is going to happen no matter what. The trend toward special-purposed handheld devices and aware from desktop computers is already well-established and will only continue.
That said, it comes down to a question of 'who do you trust?' Google has already announced that Chrome OS will be open source. That means that if Google is able to establish an end-user friendly and cost competitive cloud computing platform in advance of Microsoft or Apple, then the odds of your online activities being compromised in some sinister, big-brother-like fashion are much less.
Also, a success Chrome OS would provide far greater recognition and credibility for ALL desktop Linux products.
The only real alternative is to cede the next generation in personal computing to Microsoft… which invokes far more Orwellian visions in my mind than anything Google might ever come up with.
http://www.scroogle.org/ is the way to go!!
Oh my… I better get buffed on Ginko so that I commit to mind everything in fear of becoming dependent of products & services by other companies…
get a grip man.
How are these concerns any different from the current situation for a large portion of computer users where Microsoft's closed source OS and possibly closed source browser are potentially privy to all of their information?
Google at least is more likely to use open source code or a larger portion of it, and they have a much better track record of not doing evil than Microsoft, as far as the courts are concerned.
And to add to your concern that 'one company' is in control of so much information…
Well, it is better to KNOW WHO and WHAT company is responsible, if something bad DOES happen. Isn't it? If Google started to do criminal things with Google OS and such… then it would be very easy for investigators ( THE FBI) to handle a solution.
On the contrary to the CURRENT internet state, Microsoft vulnerabliies allow BILLIONS or more in cyber crime to actually be reality, because of spam, Phishing and such. This can not be DIRECTLY tied to Microsoft as being responsible, because it is hard to prove as botnets are scattered all over the planet, on Windows machines.
Therefore, stopping crime at the moment on the internet is near impossible, due to the dispertion of WHO and WHERE the criminals are!
So, I do think everyone needs to keep a CLOSE EYE on Google if they become de facto standard for Desktop, Browser and the lot. But, I think Google would be smart enough to know this, and not mess around.
Just a though…
Ever try to use Google through a proxy?
Whom would you rather have your information and owner of your platform? Google or Microsoft, or Apple for that matter.
I think in order listed I would say, Google, Apple than Microsoft.
Microsoft stiffles novation, which stuffles the economy. No innovation? No economic growth. Linux and Open Source methods have created a multi-billion dollar or ( TRILLION for all I know ) economy.
Do you think Amazon, Ebay, facebook, myspace, APAcHE, the INTERNET would be able to function as a PUBLIC entity (at least the internet does which runs all the sites I mentioned ) if Linux did not exist.
Point and Truth is… Open Source is PURE innovation. One (MS) or two (Apple) or three (IBM) companies can not do all the innovation.
What GOOGLE is innovating is simply ADs. Advertising and search as well of Mobile, maps, gmail, Google Earth and others…but they profit off ADs… internet ADs ( which can be EASILY blocked with the right browser plugins…
AD tracking, even IF it is you being tracked, is not threatening… (At least not for me … I would personally rather see relevant ADs to MY interests, verses ADs I coould care less about.. )
The internet is and AD driven system, for bloggers and news sites and more…
This information on if you surf PORN or POPCorn on the internet is completely harmless and NAME-LESS…they do not care WHO is using the browser, just that someone is browser topic A or B so google serves up A and B type ADs.
How is this scary? In comparison to the monopolitic software innovation and RIPPING OFF of ideas that Microsoft has done?
So, if I were to CHOOSE based on company motives and past choices, I would say GOOGLE is completely harmless.
And giving away a FREE Google OS for less BOTNETs, malware and adware/viruses is a plus.

Directions: From Columbia, 63 South to Hwy Y at the Ashland Exit.
Take Hwy Y 7 miles East to the Pine Ridge Recreation Area.
Trail Information: The Cedar Creek trails has over 30 miles of trail that include technical, steep climbs and descents with creek-crossings, runs through meadows, connectors on country roads and trailheads at several campgrounds. I start at the Pine Ridge Recreation Area, and immediately encounter steep declines and ascents which occur throughout the 3 miles to the Dry Fork campground. The singletrack is pretty rocky, and at least once encounters the creek. I've been able to rockhop across the Dry Fork creek all but one time, and that required taking on quite a soaker. Trail maintenance seems sporadic.
All but the longest runs will be an out and back, as the entire trail is a 35-mile loop. There is a 1/4 mile trek through a meadow near the Pine Ridge trailhead, and in the summer, it's tick heaven. Insect repellant worked for me, though. There are water pumps at the Pine Ridge and Dry Fork trailheads, along with port-a-potties. The closest place for drinks/snacks is Ashland 7 miles away, which is also where they'll cart you in case of injury.
Miscellaneous Information: Watch for Nevins Homestead about a mile or so from the Pine Ridge campground. It's an abandoned set of buildings from the mid-1800s, and is a neat piece of history.

Panel gets update on security upgrades at Spaulding High
Monday, December 9, 2013
ROCHESTER — School Board committees met Wednesday night to discuss safety construction at the high school, which is still on schedule to begin this summer, and three new grant-funded positions for William Allen School.
"Once we get the scope of work needed ready, we'll be ready to put out a construction manager RFP (request for proposals) for the work," said Hopkins. He said he expects to have the RFP out by February.
"These positions will increase our ability to promote collaboration between school and family to ultimately increase student achievement," said Principal Lynn Allen.

College World Series One-On-One: Texas CF Mark Payton
OMAHA, Neb. — Texas (46-20) lives to play at least one more day after a 4-0 victory over Vanderbilt (48-20) Friday afternoon at TD Ameritrade Park.
The Longhorns' win sets up a winner-takes-all matchup between the same two teams tomorrow with a chance to advance to the 2014 College World Series championship series.
Texas jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning thanks to a liner that hit an umpire rather than going for a potential inning-ending double play. The next inning, the Longhorns added two more runs and rode Nathan Thornhill to a terrific eight-inning, zero-run, 131-pitch performance.
Senior centerfielder Mark Payton was on first base when the line drive that hit the umpire in front of Vanderbilt second baseman Dansby Swanson.
After the game, Payton talked about what he saw while running to second base on the momentum-swinging line drive and how the biggest boost came from the two-run second inning.
Mark Payton also discusses how Texas head coach Augie Garrido is a "wizard" and how the Longhorns are trying to keep the momentum going throughout the week.

College World Series One-On-One: Texas SS C.J. Hinojosa
OMAHA, Neb. — Texas (45-20) kept its season alive with one gigantic hit to beat UC irvine (41-25) Wednesday night, 1-0, eliminating the 'Eaters from the 2014 College World Series.
Chad Hollingsworth pitched 8.1 scoreless innings in his second start of the season to outduel Evan Manarino (6.1 IP, 5 H, ER, 7 K), but Manarino made one big mistake, leaving up a 2-0 fastball to start the seventh inning.
Sophomore shortstop C.J. Hinojosa jumped all over the pitch and powered it out to left field for a home run — the first homer hit at TD Ameritrade Park in the 2014 College World Series.
After the game, Hinojosa talked about his solo shot, which proved to be the only run in the Longhorns' 1-0 victory in a 'winner-stays-loser-goes-home' game against UC Irvine.
Hinojosa also discussed playing on the dirt infield compared to the Longhorns' FieldTurf surface and making up for a defensive error in his next at bat. He also told what was going through his mind as he rounded the bases.

College World Series One-On-One: Virginia LHP Nathan Kirby
OMAHA, Neb. — Virginia (50-14) got the first walk-off victory in the 2014 College World Series, defeating Ole Miss (45-20), 2-1, Sunday night at TD Ameritrade Park.
With two outs in the ninth inning, Mike Papi delivered a game-winning RBI double to score pinch runner Thomas Woodruff. If not for the walk-off dramatics, the story would have been the tremendous effort of the Cavaliers pitching.
Virginia sophomore Nathan Kirby combined with reliever Artie Lewicki on a one hitter. Kirby was lights out for the first seven innings, facing just one batter over the minimum.
After the game, Kirby talked about how his tremendous start was still a bit disappointing when he had to leave with two runners on base in the eighth inning.
Nathan Kirby also discusses the atmosphere of the Ole Miss crowd and the emotions of being on the mound in the College World Series.
In the ninth inning, Kirby was surprised to see Ole Miss not pitch around Mike Papi and Kirby talks about how tough Papi is to face, especially with a full count.
Check out the full one-on-one interview with Kirby: Continue reading

Choosing a new dog is a task that should be performed as carefully
as big decision. You will need to take care of your dog for the
rest of its life, so you want one who is suitable for you, your
family, your home, and your lifestyle. The dog needs a family suited
to its size, temperament and needs for space and attention.
When choosing a breed it is best to read about breeds in which
are interested before making a decision. When the television show
Frasier was popular, many people bought Jack Russell terriers in
the mistaken belief that they make good, well-behaved apartment
dogs. Unfortunately many apartment dwellers became disappointed
when their little Jack Russells proved themselves to be a handful
because of their energy and need to run around. Most people might
think that a greyhound would be a poor choice for an apartment,
if they did not know that greyhounds tend to be couch potatoes.
TrainPetDog has information on so many breeds that at least one
is bound to be ideally suited for you, and you for it.
Whatever breed you choose, vaccinations and regular veterinary
check-ups will become an important part of your routine. TrainPetDog
recommends taking your new pup to a vet for a check-up as soon as
possible after you get him or her. Take any records you have with
Keep a bowl of food, a bowl of water, and a dog bed or blanket
in a corner that your pup can feel is his or her own space. Read
TrainPetDog's articles on dog food. Housetraining should start
the day you bring your new dog home.
Grooming is another concern, and some breeds will need more attention
than others. TrainPetDog has excellent articles on grooming, along
with ebooks on the subject.
Remember, you are important in your dog's life and he or
she is a loving member of your family. Provide your pal with plenty
of love and affection, and be sure to go for walks and play together.
TrainPetDog wishes you many happy years with your best friend.

England coach Stuart Lancaster hailed the maturity of his team after they overcame difficult conditions to claim a Six Nations win in Ireland.
Owen Farrell kicked all of England's points as they mastered the pouring rain to beat Ireland 12-6 and lay down a huge marker to their title credentials ahead of their meeting with France.
No England side had triumphed in a championship encounter in Dublin since 2003, when Martin Johnson's team destroyed Ireland and went on to win the Grand Slam and then the World Cup.
With the weather forcing a more attritional game, man-of-the-match Chris Robshaw led from the front, with Farrell kicking four penalties to Ronan O'Gara's two to seal a rare win in Ireland.
Lancaster told BBC1: "I'm chuffed for the maturity of the whole team. There are a lot of young players out there playing in Dublin for the first time. We've got another win and we'll take it."
By defeating Ireland, England are the only unbeaten team left in the tournament, but Lancaster does not believe that adds any extra pressure as they prepare for their next match, against twice-beaten France.
He said: "The stakes have always been high but they are getting higher with France coming to Twickenham on the back of losing (16-6 to Wales) yesterday."
Farrell, who was a key man in the wet conditions, gave England a second minute lead and spent a lot of the day putting boot to ball, as did Ireland's Jonathan Sexton before he was replaced by O'Gara due to injury.
However, despite the magnitude of the game and all eyes being on him for the crucial penalty kicks, Farrell revealed he did not feel any pressure.
He said: "If you practise enough it is only another kick and it's no different in the stadium.
"It was a massive game and I'm really exited to come over here and get stuck into the game. The conditions weren't great but we rolled our sleeves up and got stuck in.
"The weather wasn't great but the little things helped you along and I thought we did the little things well out there."
