By John Cerilli Every week, a secret cabal of Marvel staffers gathers to discuss the best of the best when it comes to the House of Ideas. This week, in honor of Harold & Kumar's visit with Marvel.com during New York Comic-Con 2008 and the release of "Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay" on Friday, April 25, we bring you the greatest escapes in Marvel history! The Secret Cabal selected their personal picks for the most exasperating, exciting and just plain excellent escapes! For each blockbuster breakaway you get a quick recap as well as a special spotlight comic courtesy of Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited. Also, come back tomorrow and check out postcards from Harold & Kumar's own escapes and adventures in the Marvel Universe! As always, these picks reflect the personal choices of the Secret Cabal, not the official opinion of Marvel or Marvel.com, and can be considered subjective at best. Enjoy!
Where It Happened: FANTASTIC FOUR #536-537 (2006)
Why It Makes The List: "Dr. Doom escaped from hell, my friend. You don't get much bigger than that. More to the point, the fact he survived long enough to grab ahold of Mjolnir as it passed from the battle of Ragnarok back to Earth proves Doom's status as one of the toughest baddies around. While not the smoothest escape, it served its purpose, dropping a bruised and battered Doom back in his home dimension." —SparkleMotion515
Spotlight Comics: FANTASTIC FOUR v1 #536—Doom leaves behind his demonic prison with one of the most powerful weapons in the Marvel Universe in his grasp!
Where It Happened: X-MEN v1 #133 (1980)
Why It Makes The List: "The X-Men duped and captured by the nefarious Hellfire Club? The evil Harry Leland expanding Wolverine's mass to presumably lethal levels until he's swept away in a torrent of water? Phoenix believing she's the Black Queen? Oh my, all did not bode well for our mistreated mutants in this classic Chris Clarmont and John Byrne tale—until the very last page of X-MEN #132 that is! Wolverine makes his escape and sounds this warning, "Okay, suckers—you've taken yer best shot! Now it's MY turn!" His turn comes in X-MEN #133 when Wolvie once again proves he's the best at what he does—shredding his way through masked minions and the Hellfire Club itself!"—Duke of Yancy Street
Spotlight Comics: X-MEN v1 #133—Wolverine slices and dices the Hellfire Club's soldiers as he attempts to stage the rescue of his fellow X-Men!
Where It Happened: DAREDEVIL v2 #82-86 (2006)
Why It Makes The List: "After months of biding his time behind bars, Matt Murdock takes advantage of a full-blown riot to make his escape from Ryker's Island, all the while trying to not give away his secret identity. With a helping hand from the Punisher, Murdock makes escaping from one of the highest security prisons in the Marvel U look easier than a M.O.D.O.K. joke." —SparkleMotion515
Spotlight Comics: DAREDEVIL v2 #82—Matt Murdock adjusts to life behind bars!
Where It Happened: SILVER SURFER v2 #1 (1987)
Why It Makes The List: "What, the fact that the Sentinel of the Space-Ways managed to outwit Galactus, freeing himself from the exile the Devourer of Worlds had forced upon him, doesn't make this escape's position on the list self-evident? Not many people have managed to disrespect Galactus' authority and live to tell the tale. Of course, the Surfer survived only to find out his former love, Shalla-Bal, no longer had time for him, so you can't call it a total win…" —SparkleMotion515
Spotlight Comics: SILVER SURFER v1 #1—Trapped on Earth, the Silver Surfer recalls his awe-inspiring origin!
Where It Happened: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN v1 #33 (1966)
Why It Makes The List: "This is everything that makes Spider-Man the most popular super hero in the world. In one single moment, we see that the reason we root for Spider-Man isn't because he's got cool powers or because he's got a nifty costume—it's because he's Peter Parker. Trapped under an enormous weight—a great metaphor for his life—Spidey experiences a moment of doubt, where his physical and mental anguish seems to overpower his innate sense of personal responsibility to those in his life. In overcoming this doubt, Spider-Man reaffirms he's more than a super hero by embracing his better side and being the man his Uncle Ben always believed he'd be. It's his struggles as Peter Parker—and that which matters to him most—that gives him his real strength." —OneManDynasty
Spotlight Comics: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN v1 #33—Spider-Man struggles against impossible odds to save the life of Aunt May!
Where It Happened: INCREDIBLE HULK v2 #105 (2007)
Why It Makes The List: "The Illuminati thought they'd seen the last of the Hulk when they sent him hurtling into space…but this just proves that nothing can keep the Green Goliath down! After surviving Sakaar's gladiatorial rings and numerous attempts by the Red King to kill him and his companions, the Hulk sparks a revolution and essentially beats the snot out of an entire world. Said world then explodes, and he still manages to escape. And that, my friends, is why you never mess with the Hulk."—SparkleMotion515
Spotlight Comics: INCREDIBLE HULK v2 #92—"Planet Hulk" begins as the Green Goliath crash lands on the savage planet of Sakaar!
Where It Happened: NEW AVENGERS #1-6 (2005)
Why It Makes The List: "What event could bring a new team of Avengers together after the Scarlet Witch—one of their own—went crazy, killed a few members and pretty much destroyed the team? How about when the supervillain Electro storms The Raft, an island super-prison, and busts out dozens of vicious, homicidal, uber-villains? While just one part of a larger chain of events, this brouhaha ushered in a new era for the Avengers—and very nearly destroyed it at the same time." —Agent M
Spotlight Comics: NEW AVENGERS #2—A rag tag team including Captain America, Spider-Man and Luke Cage struggles to contain the mass breakout on the Raft!
Where It Happened: MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS v1 #72-84 (1991)
Why It Makes The List: "Before there was Wolverine, there was Weapon X. Awash in blood and ensnared in a berserker rage, the man who would become one of Marvel's most beloved characters escaped the Weapon X facility after enduring the process that gave him his adamantium skeleton. What's more brutal than surviving the excruciating process of having your whole skeleton covered in an unbreakable metal? Eviscerating everyone and everything on your way out. Wolverine, FTW!" —Agent M
Spotlight Comics: MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS #72—The epic story of how the man called Logan became the engine of destruction called Wolverine begins!
Where It Happened: CIVIL WAR #1 (2006)
Why It Makes The List: "When Captain America is told by S.H.I.E.L.D. head Maria Hill that he'd be tasked with rounding up dissident heroes unwilling to register with the U.S. government, he stands his ground and says he won't do it. But when she calls in the shock troopers armed with tranquilizers, ready and willing to take Cap down, he busts some heads and begrudgingly tears into the unlucky soldiers. What ensues is one of comics' most kinetic actions sequences as Cap holds his own against a horde of troops, smashes out of the helicarrier and lands atop a fighter jet, surfing it to safety." —Agent M
Spotlight Comics: CIVIL WAR #1—A tragedy of the highest degree drives a wedge between the heroes of the Marvel Universe!
Where It Happened: TALES OF SUSPENSE #39 (1963)
Why It Makes The List: "There's so much about the Iron Man origin story that sets it apart, from the change in Tony's life at a period other than adolescence to the fact that he's not really a very nice guy, and the escape story really ranks right up there. Taken captive because of his skill—something the villains know because of Tony's ego and arrogance—Tony Stark is removed from everything that makes him 'Tony Stark.' The women, the toys, the fame, the money, it's all taken away in an instant and he's stripped bare of that by which he defines himself. His subsequent escape—including the Iron Man armor creation—is a rebirth of the man as something more, someone better than the person who was captured. This transformation makes Tony's escape more than just an act of survival—it's now about Tony escaping the shell of his former self to become a hero." —OneManDynasty
Spotlight Comics: TALES OF SUSPENSE #39—A captive in the midst of a war, Tony Stark's only hope of freedom is to rely on his wits and become more than a man!

"I don't want to go in armed with a bunch of tunes -- I want to go in barefoot and unprepared. It's an ongoing relationship. We like the way he works, and he likes the way we work together, so I don't think it's even a question."
"We are not going into this blind. We never go into something unprepared and we are not going to do it now. You try to do the best you can."
"It was miserably cold—35 degrees. I was completely unprepared, and I was waiting in line with folks whom I don't come into contact with all that much."
"We've had some bad starts, but that was our worst all season. To be unprepared like that, knowing what was coming, there's absolutely no excuse. Soft, sloppy play has been the characteristic of ourselves. We've just been getting by and pretending, and it's finally catching up with us."

Been a long time since I've updated this journal. I've been lurking in the shadows and drawing a lot lately. Halfway done with page three on the Valiant story I've been working on with I'll try to share those pages when they get completed. I've also got three more pages of ADAM inked, and waiting for some editing and color! Not a lot of action planned for ADAM in those pages as I have to tie up a lot of loose ends through the past 60 or 70 pages... Should be interesting. That's all for now. I'll be back from my business trip soon, so I can get these pages into the scanner.
Stay tuned!

The Thrill of the Write
Julia Munroe Martin on Apr 12 2014 | Filed under: Humor, Inspirations, Writing life
Recently I read on Kirkus about novelists "who do really funky research." Like Jodi Picoult who spent time in a prison. Susan Minot traveled to Uganda to get to know girls kidnapped by the Lord's Resistance Army. Peter Rock explored an underground shelter used by former members of a New Age religion. Ann Tyler has written: "I write because I want more than one life."
It made me wonder. What would I do? How far would I […]

The Awards are split into two main categories: Open and Themed. As universities continue to cope with financial challenges across the country, once again this year the theme will be "Achieving and Demonstrating Operational Effectiveness within Higher Education Administration." The Open category considers submissions that fall under any other topic.
Three national prizes are awarded in each category, and each of these prizes carry a cash award - $2500 for first prize, $1500 for second prize, and $1000 for third prize. There are opportunities for Honourable Mentions in both categories, but no cash prize is attached to these awards.
The application form is available for download here.
The submission deadline for the 2015 Q&P Awards is January 16, 2015. Please note that this is significantly earlier than in previous years. We can't wait to see what's happening at your institutions this year!

With his son ailing in Pakistan, the government has issued a passport to hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani for the first time since militancy broke out in Jammu and Kashmir.
Highly-placed sources said Chief Minister Omar Abdullah personally intervened in the matter and saw that 79-year-old Geelani, who was recently released from custody, gets his travel document for visiting Pakistan to see his son.
The passport of the erstwhile Jamaat leader was seized in 1981 for his anti-India activities and he was given a country-specific travel document in 2006 for performing Hajj pilgrimage.
The Geelani camp had approached the state government through backdoor intermediaries for issuance of passport to the leader. After assessing the case, Mr. Geelani was handed over his passport for a period of one year and according to sources close to him, he would be travelling to Pakistan to meet his son Nayeem, who had suffered two consecutive heart attacks last month and continued to be in hospital there.
The government also issued a passport to moderate Hurriyat Chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq who is expected to attend contact group meet of Organisation of Islamic Conference' Foreign Ministers in New York later this month.
He may also be travelling to Pakistan.
Keywords: Geelani, Jammu and Kashmir, Passport, Pakistan, Hurriyat Conference

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Kansas officials are warning motorists to watch out for deer as breeding season approaches.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said in a news release that deer-vehicle crashes are the highest during breeding season, which peaks in mid-November.
The increase is partially the result of deer being more active and paying less attention to hazards such as vehicles. Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism biologist Lloyd Fox says fall also is the time when many deer move to new locations as crops are harvested.
Kansas Department of Transportation spokesman Steve Swartz says nearly 8,700 traffic crashes in 2012 involved deer. The crashes left two people dead and 322 were injured.
Experts say motorists should be particularly cautious at dawn and dusk when deer are more likely to be on the move.

Lake Vermilion State Park is in Soudan, Minn., in the northeastern part of the state. It is adjacent to Soudan Underground Mine State Park. Both are just off Hwy. 169, a common route to Ely and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness from the Twin Cities.
Lake Vermilion State Park is already open to the public, but access this summer has been mainly by boat. Primitive campsites with small docks, fire pits, biffies and bear boxes are available in Cable Bay and Stuntz Bay. At Armstrong Bay, work on a day-use area is underway, and a road leading there from outside the park should be completed by the middle of next summer.
This winter, the park will be accessible by snowmobile and snowshoe.

Firefly: Battle of Du Khang July 17 & 18 at Sherwood Forest - LaPorte, IN
Posted 02 July 2010 - 10:45 AM
The year is 2510. The place is the Du-Khang peninsula on a border planet called Beaumonde. Along with Beaumondes own militia there is a strong Browncoat presence consisting of the 57th & 22nd Overlanders, as well as the 101st Air Assault Squadron.
The Alliance sees this moon as just another pocket of resistance that needs to be weeded out, and is sending a large force to deal with them.
The Browncoats are dug in and waiting and, although this is a fight more about principle than position or resources, they are ready to fight the Alliance and defend Du-Khang.
On this peninsula known as Du-Khang is a large forest where the 57th Overlanders are stationed. The commanding officer, Lieutenant Jacob Meyers, has a bad case of shell shock, and Mal Reynolds has taken over command.
Will the Browncoats be able to defend Du-Khang, and Beaumonde, against the Alliance advance, or will Beaumonde be the last planet of the border planets to fall to the Alliance?
Come be part of the Battle of Du-Khang at Sherwood Forest Adventure Games in LaPorte, Indiana.
New game element
A major part of the "Serenity" battles was always the low-space battles above the battlefield. We wanted to stay close to the theme, so we are factoring that in as well.
At the top of each hour, starting at 1pm Saturday, each commander may send three players to the speedball field. Each player will simulate one ship in an air battle. The winning side will receive extra supplies such as medic cards and the like. If only one side shows up they will automatically receive the bonus supplies.
Once a player has represented his side in an air battle he may not participate in the next two. A player that is in the 1pm air battle cannot compete again until the 4pm air battle. This is to ensure that more players get to take part.

Here are some pics of the amazing fields at Sherwood Forest Paintball

Immokalee one of 5 places in nation considered for renewable resources project
IMMOKALEE - More information on Growth Design Corp.: www.growthdesign.com.
More information on the Community Redevelopment Agency: www.immokaleetoday.com or call (239) 867-4121.
Immokalee is among five communities in the running for a project that could convert landscaping and other waste materials into usable resources.
A Wisconsin-based resource development company called Growth Design Corp. has expressed an interest in the area to make use of its abundant renewable energy resources.
"Collier County and specifically Immokalee have significant waste resources that need processing and match our second-generation technologies," said Byron Tweeten, chairman and chief executive officer of Growth Design Corp. "There also are financial incentives related to business development and employment."
Immokalee is being considered for an Organic Agriculture-Renewable Energy Project demonstration to showcase renewable energy and organic agriculture, which supporters also believe will stimulate economic growth, including job creation.
Other areas in the running are Oregon City, Ore.; Seward, Neb.; Mt. Valley, Iowa; and Columbus, Ohio. Growth Design Corp. has offices in Iowa, Wisconsin and Florida.
Tweeten isn't unfamiliar with Immokalee – in addition to being a third-generation Iowa farmer and businessman, he is a part-time Naples resident. He is committed to the energy side of the project but also excited about the possibility of bringing more economic stability to Immokalee.
"Citizens of Immokalee have potential to qualify for good jobs and a working environment that is attractive and secondly a long-term business operation will produce a tax base that supports community growth and development," Tweeten said. "Lastly, the people will have a sense of pride that they are on the forefront of a demonstration that grows organic food using community waste resources."
The Southwest Florida waste stream that Growth Design Corp. has identified for the proposed project includes landscaping waste, solid and liquid organics from agricultural and consumer products, waste oils, plastic, rubber, and limited construction and demolition materials.
The company website gives examples of what's produced, such as manure, liquid and solid organic waste getting turned into products like bio-methane gas, electricity, liquid fertilizer and fiber for livestock bedding or artificial peat moss. Some oils, waste oils, fats and greases can be converted into aviation fuel.
Executives project the creation of 200 to 300 jobs over three to five years with more than 100 of those created during the first year of operation.
Executives project the creation of 200 to 300 jobs over three to five years with more than 100 of those created during the first year of operation – something Growth Design Corp. President Bill Luetscher said will partly be up to the community.
"There are abundant waste streams available throughout the Southwest Florida region for this proposed project," Luetscher said. "The question is whether the community will have the determination, speed, and capacity to compete with other communities for this initiative."
Penny Phillippi, executive director of the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency, works closely with the community's government advisory boards and visioning committees. She supports the initiative because she believes it will be a positive part of Immokalee's future.
"The reason I am working so closely with these folks is it means job creation for Immokalee and that is our No. 1 goal – plus it is a very exciting opportunity to turn things we throw away into resources that can be used within the community," she said. "Aside from job creation, new industry and an opportunity for folks to build personal wealth, they want to create new energy resources so it's like the future comes to life right here in our community."
Phillippi said she became involved in the process when Collier Commissioner Jim Coletta asked her to provide an overview of Immokalee to Growth Design Corp. and others prior to a tour the group took of Ave Maria and surrounding areas.
"What they're looking for are partners, especially growers who have waste from the fields, plastic or vines and trying to get the word out in the community as to what they are trying to do and what kind of feed stock that they need to put together this kind of industry," Phillippi said.
In Growth Design Corp.'s prepared statement, the company said the initiative would be based on a public-private partnership between their company, Collier County government, local agencies and private investors.

HOUSTON, Feb. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rosetta Resources Inc. (Nasdaq:ROSE) ("Rosetta" or the "Company") today reported fourth quarter 2012 net income of $42.3 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, versus net income of $32.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the same period in 2011. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the quarter was $42.0 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, excluding an unrealized gain on derivative activities of $0.6 million, or $0.4 million after-tax.

New Kinder Institute survey compares most automobile-dependent city in US with 'Green Capital' in Europe

New Kinder Institute survey draws comparisons between most automobile- dependent city in US – Houston – and 'Green Capital' in Europe
HOUSTON – (May 27, 2014) – The nation's most automobile-dependent large city – Houston – and Europe's "Green Capital" – Copenhagen, Denmark – both believe traffic is the biggest problem facing their respective areas of the world, but for very different reasons, according to the first Copenhagen Area Survey. The survey is the first formal international evaluation conducted by Rice University's Kinder Institute for Urban Research.
The survey draws comparisons between Houston and Copenhagen, two cities that are dramatically different in many ways, yet roughly equally ranked on global city scales, which measure centrality in the global system of cities based on economics, cultural influence, political power and human capital. Michael Emerson, co-director of the Kinder Institute and the Allyn and Gladys Cline Professor of Sociology, conducted the survey.
Key findings from the survey include:
- Both Houston and Copenhagen residents rank traffic as the biggest issue in their respective cities.
- Only 27 percent of Copenhagen residents felt that "religion is somewhat or very important in my life," while 84 percent of Houstonians agreed with this statement.
- Eighty-one percent of Copenhagen residents said "most people can be trusted," whereas only 33 percent of Houstonians agreed with this statement.
- Houstonians are more positive about local job opportunities than Copenhagen residents.
"Like Houston, the Copenhagen metropolitan area is a dynamic, growing region that serves as a cultural, economic and social hub," Emerson said. "It is also a world leader on many fronts, from its bicycle culture to its current status as the Green Capital of Europe."
However, Emerson noted, dramatic differences exist between the two cities. While the survey's key finding revealed that 29 percent of Houston and Copenhagen residents view traffic as the biggest issue in their respective cities, Emerson said that the general category "traffic" meant completely different things to the two regions.
"In Houston, an area almost completely dependent on cars for mobility, people think there are too many cars for the number and size of roads, and more lanes are needed to improve the traffic flow," Emerson said. "This was starkly different from what Copenhagen-area residents regarded as 'traffic problems.' To them, traffic meant too many cars causing pollution and a lower quality of life, and too many people not using the alternative forms of transportation."
Emerson said that nearly half of Copenhagen residents – 46 percent – use public transit, compared with only 4 percent of Houstonians.
Emerson also said that there are vast differences in trust levels in Houston and Copenhagen. While 81 percent of Copenhagen residents said, "Most people can be trusted," only 33 percent of Houstonians agreed with this statement.
"Trust so greatly impacts what can be done by cities and communities with regard to doing things needed for the good of community, from addressing issues of joblessness to confidence in government," Emerson said. "In lower trust environments, general cooperation is more difficult and people fear issues like crime more."
There were also dramatic differences in religious beliefs. While only 27 percent of Copenhagen residents felt that "religion is somewhat or very important in my life," 84 percent of Houstonians agreed with this statement.
"Religiosity can be measured in many ways, but when it is measured simply as how important it is to the person, despite cultural differences, clearly far more Houstonians highly value personal religion than do Copenhageners."
While the majority of residents from both cities agreed that their respective job opportunities are excellent or good, only 53 percent of Copenhagen residents felt this way, compared with 63 percent of Houstonians.
"Houston has long prided itself on its ability to create jobs and spur economic growth, and this appears to be reflected in the findings," Emerson said. "While Copenhagen is a top economic engine of Scandinavia, more Houstonians are positive about the job prospects in their city than are Copenhageners."
The Kinder Institute Copenhagen Area Survey is the first study focusing on the Danish city's economy, population, life experiences, beliefs and attitudes. The 2014 survey included 1,093 respondents from the Copenhagen metropolitan area. Epinion conducted the interviews in Danish between March 20 and April 7. The Houston findings come from the 2013 and 2014 Kinder Institute Houston Area Surveys. The study was funded by the Kinder Institute and supported by the Danish Institute for Study Abroad.

Discussion in 'PatsFans.com - Patriots Fan Forum' started by Bobs My Uncle, Mar 1, 2006.
Anyone want this guy back?
i heard that on another site too... too bad he burned his bridges.
No link yet. It just happened.
It's all over the local airwaves around here though.
Reminds me of that afternoon in early fall 2003...
Here' a link
Here's the link to Milloy info:
The Bills have released defensive tackle Sam Adams, tight end Mark Campbell, and safety Lawyer Milloy. "It's that time of the year when I think all team are involved in making some – to a degree – painful decisions and have to move forward with it," said Marv Levy. "Today's game is different. Dick Jauron has talked to all three of the men and explained that we would be putting them on waivers. To receive Bills news sent directly to your Verizon wireless phone simply text message BILLS to 1400.
I could 100% see us signing Milloy AND Sam Adams for the right $. BB as always praised Adams, and I suspect Milloy might be amenable to coming back at a reasonable salary since I don't see anyone breaking the bank for him.
I'd take him back in a second. For the right money that is. With Rodney's status up in the air, how could you not?
Because he isn't that good?
Because he did squat with the Bills?
Because of what he said after he left here. The Pats would have zero prode and zero self-respect to even consider taking him back.
BTW, how's that "We're a family here" working out for you, Lawyer? Guess the Bills cut players, too, huh?
I hope no one picks him up.
Don't much care about what he said, but your first two reasons are good enough for me.
What has he done since he signed with the bills? Jack Sh!t and who wants his winey attitude.
BB said in Patriot Reign that Lawyer did not have leadership skills and his football skills were diminished. I think BB will pass on Lawyer.....IMO.
Actually, wouldn't it be justice if we got him back for the vet min? Then he could back up Rodney.
I can see the humor in that. Maybe he could get subsities to feed his family from Rodney and Geno.
Things worked out well for him. He made lots of money. Plus he won two Super Bowls while he was gone . . . oh no, wait, that was us
how much would we spend on him???? is 2 mil too much??would be a great story, lawyer back in blue
I think it is quite obvious that Lawyer has lost a few steps and burned more than a few bridges.........won't see him back here
True dat...all of it
Milloy is not even worth the veteran minimum. B places a high value on cover skills and Milloy can't even cover a moving trash can.......
Separate names with a comma.

Governor Deval L. Patrick
Gaming Bill Signing – As Delivered
Governor's Council Chambers
November 22, 2011
I just signed a law that allows for expanding gaming in Massachusetts. There has been a lot of talk, a lot of talk about this bill. A series of public hearings, meetings, debates, commentary over the last several years. I'm just going to take a minute before I sign and give you my take on this bill and on everything else, or a lot, that's been happening over the course of developing this bill.
Expanded gaming in Massachusetts, for me, is about creating jobs: good jobs and good wages for people all across the Commonwealth. It's really, for me, as simple as that. It's not the solution to every economic challenge we face and it won't be the cause of every social ill that we in this Commonwealth together have to deal with. I've never had a moral objection to gaming. We have a successful lottery in Massachusetts. Most of our residents currently live within 90 miles of a gaming facility. Gaming is already an option for people who want it. I respect those who do have a moral objection, but I am not one of them. For me, the fundamental question has always been "What's the best way for us to expand gaming in Massachusetts if we decide to go in this direction?"
I don't have to tell you that we are proudly independent here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. What works somewhere else won't necessarily work here. I think all of those who have been involved in developing this bill have given it a great deal of thought to how best to do that here. The key principles that I wanted to see here in this bill are transparency in the bidding process, regional equity, local control over siting of the facility and commitments to public health and public safety and this bill responds to each of those concerns.
I know that not everyone agrees with me on this issue, and I say that I respect that, but I have come to my position thoughtfully and carefully and I am pleased to sign this bill today and proud of the work that my team and the legislature have done together to bring it to this point. I especially want to congratulate the Speaker and all of the members of the House, the Senate President and all of the members of the Senate for the care and thoughtfulness with which they have debated this issue for a long, long time. And now the work will turn to getting it right in implementation and we all have good work and important work to do in that regard.

Are you an early bird shopper? Click here now and check out the Simply Canning gift guide.
by Hillbilly Homer
How much water do I need to use in a pressure caner? Ive been using 3"-4" for my quarts and I was told that I needed to fill the caner up to the lids. Is this right?
In a pressure canner you put about 3 quarts water in before your jars. When you place your jars the water will come about half way up your jars or possibly to the shoulders.
For some items that have a really long processing time (corn and meats) I will start with 4 quarts of water instead of 3. I just feel like it ensures that my canner will not run dry.

Alright, so I've got a bent and broken RD that I need to replace. I've looked and got the model, Shimano 105 RD 5500. It's mounted on a 9 spd cassette that is 12/25. But as I'm shopping around online for a new one, I can't seem to find any. But there are a whole bunch of 5501s. Is there a difference between the two? Or will I be able to install a 5501 to replace a 5500? And are there any other models that are compatible, i.e. 5600,5700, etc. Also, should I get a GS or stick to the SS which I have now? Thanks a bunch guys!
If there is already a thread to this that I couldn't find, could you just link me over to there and I'll apologize for re posting similar problems!

Tech Rumor of the Day: Nvidia
Now, the Tegra seems to have finally found its first win in the handheld device arena. The new HD Zune from Microsoft (MSFT) will be powered by the Tegra chip, says Rayfield. The Zune multimedia device is expected to arrive this fall.
Nvidia also expects a slew of mini computing devices or MIDs coming to the market late this year and early next year. These are sub-netbook sized laptops that will sell for under $200 or free with wireless service contracts. The devices run on Linux, or in Nvidia's case Microsoft Windows CE operating software.
The company's Tegra chips will cost manufacturers anywhere between the teens and $30, says Rayfield.
Nvidia has been knocking on this door to the mobile market for two years now, and there's little guarantee of success. Other chip giants like Qualcomm (QCOM) and Texas Instruments (TXN) stand as just two of the formidable obstacles.

Breaking the mold
Posted: Monday, Dec. 07, 2009
Photo by Alison Henry
"According to Andy" is our weekly peek into the male psyche, written by various contributors. To become a contributor, contact Editor Alison Henry.
Read more "According to Andy."
Hello, I'm a 28-year-old single male working in sales. I've recently had the toughest year of my life, leaving me in the awkward position of having to relearn everything about being single and dating!One thing comes to mind when I hear the word "dating": Couples don't date. And it's a shame. Think about it: When was the last time you actually went on a date with your very significant other? Stumped? I'm not surprised.Everyone has different ideas about what constitutes a date, but for me, it's a time to gain knowledge and appreciation for the person you are spending time with - something many of my fellow men seem to have forgotten.As guys, we often figure that once we pass the first date, we "have it in the bag." But what about her? Was she impressed, bored, intrigued or repulsed? We usually don't know and rarely take the time to discover once we have our sights set on the "final goal."
Because of our instantaneous lifestyles, most of the romance has been sucked out of our relationships. But changing this is as simple as taking some time to stop and smell the roses. Seriously, when was the last time you and your date took a walk and actually stopped to smell the roses?
Dates don't have to be all about flash and money - they should be about sharing experiences and finding reasons to continue seeing this person or not. If you call it "date night," then it's just for show. Spontaneity and surprise are better received than plan and routine. Send flowers, show up unexpectedly or write little notes for a "treasure hunt." Actually planning a "date night" is about as awesome as planning for... well, anything. If you must make a plan, be flexible. Ask what she wants to do and be able to act on her decision. Let's face it: Women's moods can change on a whim. Why not be able to accommodate and adapt accordingly?In the end, men should be asking themselves what they are really trying to accomplish. Yeah, yeah - I hear ya, guys: "Sex." It's a big part of every relationship. But you shouldn't just be trying to get in her pants. It's important to learn and discover each other's likes and dislikes. Your time together will be 10 times better if you worry more about what's on her mind instead of what's on her body. And that mental and emotional connection you've made will inevitably lead to better things... and not just in the bedroom.
So now that you're up for a little more effort and originality, what's your best date idea? Ever go ice skating uptown in December, holding hands like you were in middle school? When was the last time you cooked a girl dinner? Maybe surprised her with a picnic? Checked out Discovery Place or The Mint Museum?
Maybe your usual plan (until now) has been drinks at a bar where everyone's eyes are roaming and you can't even hear each other. Maybe you frequently bring her out with your friends. Come on guys, we can do better. And girls, you should expect more. Guys need to break the mold and step up their so-called "game." It's worth it for everyone.Women tear up during chick flicks because deep down they want to experience that fairytale in their own lives. It doesn't take a million dollars, just an imagination and a little desire to be better.

PowerExperts.co.uk Warn 86% Of UK Small Businesses Are Paying At Least 30% Too Much On Their Energy Bills
LONDON, December 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Business price comparison site PowerExperts.co.uk has warned at least 86% of small to medium UK businesses are being charged on average 30% more than they should be on their energy bills.
Research carried out this year (2012) on behalf of statutory consumer body Consumer Focus shows 48% of polled businesses simply let their energy provider increase their rates by an average 30% without even questioning if they were receiving the most competitive deal on the market.
This common practice by all major UK energy companies is known as "rollover contracts". The higher rates offered will automatically renew for another 12 months if you don't do anything.While almost half of small to medium enterprises (SMEs) failed to act at all, even more shockingly, 38% directly accepted the higher rollover rates offered - potentially leaving themselves hundreds of pounds out of pocket each year. Only 14% of businesses declined rollover rates. James York, a spokesperson for PowerExperts.co.uk, described the figures as "concerning", and urged all UK SMEs to refuse rollover rates and search for a competitive deal. He said, "Businesses should never accept rollover rates without first investigating what else is available to them. "The fact that almost half of businesses are failing to act and ending up on more expensive rates is concerning enough, but when you consider that nearly 40% are actively accepting these rates, it's even more troubling - especially when businesses need to conserve as much cash as possible in this economic climate. "That's a huge percentage of SMEs who are paying far too much for their energy, simply by not shopping around." Mr York added that while a huge number of businesses have found themselves marooned on rollover rates, the actual number of businesses paying too much for their energy could be even higher.

My husband and I are starting JUDD finally:jumpjoy: He has lost 30 lbs on HCG and I think this would be perfect for us.
Im looking for our down day meals at 500 cal and want to break them up into 5 100 cal mini meals.
Can you JUDDERS give me examples of filling 100 cal meals please.
i have been thinking I need to start doing this instead of saving my calories. I am going to be watching.
A slice of low-cal toast w/a laughing cow cheese wedge spread on it.
2oz tilapia and 2 celery stalks simmered in chicken broth for a soup.
A hard boiled egg over fresh spinach salad (I think 3 cups of spinach is like 15 calories) tossed w/vinegar or very low/zero cal dressing.
Assorted veggies (bell pepper, celery, green onions, radishes) and low/zero cal dip/dressing.
2oz chicken breast, a little salsa in romaine leaves.
My favorite DD soup is egg drop, whole can of broth is 20 cals then add 1 large beaten egg for 75 cals.. and 1 Tbsp soy sauce (5 cals) = 100 fills me up and the added protein keeps me from getting too hungry
Miracle noodles stir-fried with sauce made from PB2, soy sauce, lime juice, and garlic/chili sauce w/80 calories of shredded chicken and/or veggies (I like sweet bell peppers.)
2oz smoked salmon with a little cream cheese
Oat fiber muffins with whipped cream.
